Having the insaciable urge to lick something should lead a person to an ice cream cone or a lolipop--not frogs. But some people are just stupid, as you will discover when my Insane FL Nephew Pancho Guero will tell you. A lot of smart beds got stupid when the massive outage occurred at Amazon Web Services (AWS), leaving some night owls sleeping like a taco. Rage can manifest itself rapidly when life isn't moving fast enough for some people. Like those in a check-out line who just saw a great deal on a set of kitchen knives.

In this Weekend Episode...
  • [A Piece of My Mind]…Science Explains Why Most Men Can’t Remember Anything You Tell Them

  • A Slow Checkout Line Caused a Woman to Buy a Knife and Stab Another Customer
  • FL Woman Arrested After Punching, Scratching, and BITING Boyfriend’s Genitals During An Altercation
Pancho is faced with a couple of questionss that required little to no time to come up with an answer for such stupid ideas like whether it's OK for parents to let their 9-y/o girl dress up like a "Naughty Nurse" for Halloween and if it's a good idea to let ChatGPT give advice on breaking up with a boyfriend. You can play along with Pancho in our weekly Insane Game Show to see if you can figure out the 5 Mindbenders for this week!

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:14):
It is a great bay stupid world as it's around
a stupid gay, stupid.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Stupid Welcome to insane Eric Lane's stupid world. And if
you see something stupid, say something stupid.

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

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

(01:10):
let me just speak directly to you for just a
couple of minutes. Okay, I'm sure you've probably been in
a situation like this being told by your female companion,
whether it be your date, your girlfriend, your I don't

(01:36):
know significant other, wife, spouse, whatever you want to call him,
where you're basically saying, you just you can't remember anything
I say to you. You just you don't care about me,
You don't remember what I tell you. Well, we have
an expert that's taking on this familiar frustration. Why is

(01:56):
it so many women say their man never remembers anything.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
I ought to give you a piece of my mind.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I hear this all the time. Either that or I
hear you're not listening. You don't listen. Okay, look here,
I mean this is not me talking. Okay, scientific background. Scientists,
people that are in white lab coats that spend their
time analyzing things. Scientists are saying, guys, the fact that

(02:36):
you can't remember anything your woman tells you is not
always carelessness. Now the operative word in that statement is
always Sometimes it is carelessness. Sometimes you don't want to listen.
I've been there. But it's not always carelessness. Frankly, it's
brain wiring. I got an eye roll for my wife,

(02:58):
and I told her that. But in the study of
nearly seven hundred people, researchers found women's brains lit up
more strongly in emotional and motor regions when viewing emotional images,
suggesting that women are more likely to store these feelings

(03:20):
and the moments tied to them in memory. Of course,
that's not the only thing my wife gets lit up about,
but I digress. Another survey of more than forty eight
thousand adults showed men reported more problems recalling names, the dates,
and even past conversations than women did. And then all

(03:43):
the women go what.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Now?

Speaker 1 (03:47):
In relationships, of course, that gap can obviously feel personal? Right, Okay, Well,
a woman remembers every detail of a talk, every detail,
and I might even add even if those talks are
twenty eight years old, they still remember every single detail.

(04:09):
Her partner remembers probably none of it, unless, of course,
there's some stimulation involved that might bookmarkt in the man's
brain somewhere. I don't know, but experts say it's often
just a difference in how each brain processes emotional information.

(04:31):
It's in the process, not just always a sign he
doesn't care. Ladies, now you've seen that video of the
comedian that does a comparison between women's brains and men's brains.
You know, men have got compartments. Women have just this
rat's nest of wires that go everywhere, and men even

(04:53):
have that compartment that has nothing in it, so when
a woman wants to know what a man's thinking about,
he can say nothing mean it. But nevertheless, here we
have little fix for this little situation. Okay, researchers say
it lies in teamwork. That's right, repeating key points, setting reminders,

(05:16):
or simply saying something like this is important. Please remember this.
I feel so vindicated because I honestly have said similar
things myself. Okay, and here's my favorite part. Sometimes I

(05:37):
don't know if it's me that's being talked to, or
whether my wife is talking to herself, to the cat,
to her mother, or to some inanimate object. You see
what I'm saying. And there's also times when I'm looking
at something else TV, a screen, a book, a magazine,

(05:58):
or just letting my eyes wander out the window, and
she walks in and just says something as she's passing
through the room on the way to the bathroom. All right.
Sometimes the fixes teamwork, repeating the key points, setting the reminders,
are just saying, look at me, this is important. Please

(06:21):
remember this. You see, It's less about the blame, which
happens an awful lot, and more about bridging two different
memory styles. That's what we're dealing with here people before
small forgetfulnesses turn into big snit fits.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
A great baste, and we're feelings hasn't turned around.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
You know. I'm open to talking about anything, but I
love talking about surviving in the stupidity that's always around us.
And if you're insane enough to ask, I'm insane enough
to reply, and I would love to hear from you.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
And back for another week with my lovable Insane Florida
and nephew Paco Guero from Jacksonville, Florida, where things are
on an even keel this week.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I hear, Yeah, finally, I feel like we're back. I
I mean, unfortunately, my car's not on the shop from
when I was rewinded a month ago. But yeah, I've
at least got got that gonna be fixed now, so
yeah that's good. And and and then of course, like
the was it rental Enterprise or whatever it takes, Like
I've got an appointment and it still takes forty five

(09:00):
minutes to get my car. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure
they didn't even have one ready for me. They said
they would, I don't think they did. They finally out
there like, yeah, we've got this truck here, and I'm like, like,
I love another truck, but I don't want to drive
a truck for the next like only four days, because
I'm like, I only need it for like one or
two days. This is rental.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Well, is it like a big, big truck or is
it like a small.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Truck that was a big truck big pickup god, And
I'm like this is It's like it's too much like
I would love to have a big pickup truck. There's
a reason I don't do. This's not feasible. But even
more so, like I'm not responsible for the accident, all right,
I'm the one that was hit driving perfectly normal, insane,
and so I don't want to spend sixty dollars. Like
insurance is only going to cover so much. They're like

(09:42):
they're going to covering three dollars a day or whatever,
and I'm like, I one time I saw that truck
and I was like, this is going to be more
than thirty three bucks a day.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
You could probably hear the sucking sound as it's using
of all the games too.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm yeah, I'm like, yeah, no, I don't. I do
not want to be paying anything if I'm the one
that was that was like the victim in this right.
So I finally, well, I say finally. I was ready
to have my wife pick me up and just be like,
you know what, not even renting it whatever, I'm not.
And then they're like, well, we have another one. I

(10:16):
was like, oh, now you have another one, and and
I still have to pay like a few bucks a day.
It's gonna be like twenty bucks total. I was like, whatever,
I'll take you. I'll take it for twenty I just
don't want to spend a bunch of money on a
car barely drive. I'm the one that got hit.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, well, we my wife spends most of her weeking
hours looking for better deals on insurance. You know, she
will we get an insurance.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Company worse and worse, oh pastime.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, And so we get an insurance company. We keep
it for two years, then they hike the rates. She
gets dissatisfied that she goes on the hunt for something else.
We're with this one right now, I don't. She said,
it's the worst insurance company she's ever picked. Because they
they we got noticed from the from from the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation, from PENDOT. They were they're letting us

(11:08):
know that they we are in we are in jeopardy
of losing our license because our cars are not insured.
And she's like, what, And it turns out they never
they they they they dropped the insurance or they did
something without letting us know because some some box that
she didn't check on some electronic form that they said
that they was. It was just it's a big mess.

(11:29):
So she's been on the phone nightly trying to get
we got the insurance reinstated, but then they didn't notify
the state that the insurance was reinstated.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
They that happen one time when I was like two
days later on paying. They never noticed. And yeah, when
you find out your license has been suspended for the
last few months, right.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Right, Oh my gosh. So it's been a nightmare. And
so now she's like, now I've got to try to
find the best insurance. Well, in the process of all this,
she finds out this car that I just picked up
because of the deer hit from the last car. I mean,
it's got like one hundred and askt one hundred and
fourteen thousand miles on it and it's like a twenty fourteen,

(12:12):
but it's like I said, it's a Hyundai Voloster. Apparently
this insurance company labels that a sports car. So I
had the highest insurance rate.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Oh my god, gosh.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
So I'm like, well, it's too late. Now I've got
the car. We're making payments on it now, you know,
I mean, come on. So, I mean, she's a's.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Your midlife crisis right there.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
It must be. So she is, she's in the middle.
She goes, it's just one more thing I got to do.
I've got to go, and she got to go fight
with more insurance.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
I've got so many one more things I've got to
do on my plate right now. I'm trying to get
them off my plate. Man.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, and as you're getting them off, more is getting pussed.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Literally. Yeah, as I'm getting them off. Then someone rear
ends me on the way to work in the morning
there like I'm like, come off, man, really.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
You know, it's it's amazing that you can even remember
all the things you have to do. Because you're a man,
you can't remember.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Anything, right, that's right.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
You know.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
The funny thing is that if I had to pinpoint
who is the more forgettaful one between my wife and I.
Absolutely it's my wife, and she agrees. She's She's like, yeah,
I don't think that's the case for rest thing.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
She says, well, this is my problem. This is my
problem number one. I'm told, first of I don't listen
and I don't remember anything. Okay, that's my two faults
that I'm told, all right, But keep in mind, I
also let this person know who is telling me this,
and I think we both know who I'm talking about that.

(13:42):
She starts in the middle of a sentence and then
she switches subjects in the middle of a paragraph, and
I'm thinking, wait, you were talking about this. What are
you talking about now? You're not listening. I was listening
and I heard that you jump topic, and I can't
figure out where you're going right now.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
You know.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Literally, she come in the room one time and said
something and I literally repeated back the exact words she said.
And her response was, no, you're not listening. I said,
I just repeated what you just said. It proves I'm listening.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Obviously, you're not like listening to the You know, you're
hearing the words, but you're really not understanding right.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
According according to what she tells me. Now, of course
we're into the whole personality test with the Enneagram personality test.
So she's an Enneagram six and I'm an Enneagram eight.
I don't know. That could be a recipe for disaster
if you're following the various personalities.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
But the I used to do a little bit and
I could care less not I don't.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Even pay well, it's pretty interesting, but the Enneagram six.
The big thing about the Nagram six they're they're like
they have to plan everything and they're big. They're big
issue is it's like they have a committee in their
head that goes all the time, and you can't get
the committee to shut up because they're always discussing things, okay,
and and so that's my problem. I can't hear what

(15:09):
the committee is saying. That's my problem. See, that's why
I'm not listening because I can't hear. I told her
that one time. I said I can't hear your committee.
She just rolled her eyes and walked out of the room,
you know, And I said that, so but yeah, I mean,
but I mean, look, now I have something I can
tell my wife. Look I am of course I did

(15:30):
read her a little bit of this of this article,
and she just says, oh sure, no, No, that's not
your problem. You just don't listen.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
That's exactly what she said, You just don't care.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, but now I'm just I'm just gonna start saying, Look,
I'm not wired to do this. I'm sorry, just not wired.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
You know, maybe maybe if this bothers you, you should
have just married a woman instead.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Huh yeah, well you know that's yeah exactly. I don't know.
It's pretty hilarious because I mean, I have this app
that it's just like it's called the Ennia app, and
so it's it's got all the various nuances of all
the various personalities, and so I mean, when the Type
six and the Type eight are in sync, it's it's
a force to be reckoned with, you know. But when

(16:17):
we're out of sync, it's like a tempest in a teapot.
I'm telling you. So it's pretty crazy. But yeah, it's
fun to study personalities. I love. My dad had an
entire like a book series used to get all these
books series, you know, from like Reader's Digest or Time
Life or some of these people that you know, and
he had like a thirty eight volume book series all

(16:39):
about people's personalities. And I would sit and read these books.
It was the most fascinating thing. And I actually it
had a little work book that came with it, and
I took the test on whether I was an introvert
or an extrovert. All right, my wife is convinced I'm
a full blown, flaming extrovert, believe it or not on
that scale, but that I took, I'm just a tick

(17:02):
or two over into the extrovert. I'm more in the
center than anything else.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
It turns out that you're a flaming introvert.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
No, no, I'm not an introvert.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
The emphasis Yeah, yeah, well no, no, she is definitely
the introvert.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
But I I am barely over the middle of the line.
I'm like maybe three or four ticks into the introvert side.
So really, I'm proud. I can't appreciate being alone in
a way, because the full blown extrovert has to have
people around them, and you feed off of this. There's
points that I get tired of people and I just
want to get away from them.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Well, because a lot of people are pretty stupid though.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
That's why I basically have this podcast. It's a way
to exercise the stupidity that I'm tired of having to
be around all the time.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
I think you said like exercise, like you're like, this
is the only exercise that you get. You know, you
don't go it is you mean more like exercise?

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yes, yes, that's right, that's right. See I do mental exercises.
I've got a strong brain. Okay, so maybe I may
not have six pack abs, but I have a strong brain.
I have a six pack brain.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Okay, your brain is supposed to be fat, not muscle there, So.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Well that's a good point. All right, I'll take that's.
Let's it's tough, but at least I'm not I don't.
I don't do stupid things, you know, like here lick
this flag pole, you know, in the winter time. I don't.
I don't do I don't do that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
So I learned your lesson. At some point, you've done it.
You've done stupid things at this point that you don't.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Right to watch people do stupid things.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
You know. One thing that I am proud of today. Okay, okay,
I've been slowly working on this with my oldest son
and trying to get him to start riding a bike
without training wheels.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Oh good, good, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, I took it eating wheels off a couple of
months ago, and I haven't been able to be out
there too often because it's it's been really hot at times. Yeah,
and then like again, life just keeps throwing things at
you that you know, there's a lot on so much time.
But I've been kind of everyonece all like every week
at least once trying to get out with him for
a little bit. And I'll kind of hold onto the handlebar,

(19:20):
like the middle the middle bar between the handles, and
I'll kind of walk with him there, and I'll try
to let go periodically two three seconds at a time,
you know, maybe five or six seconds, and and he'll
kind of start to really quickly lose his balance, or
I'll kind of like nudge the steering wheel like the
handle up or down to kind of help him like
get back center. And and all of a sudden today

(19:41):
I had him in the backyard. We're just kind of
looping around a couple of trees in the backyard and
I let go. I'm like he just he just kept going.
I'm like yes, wow, And then like I have to
get my hand on there eventually or he's gonna hit
the tree or he doesn't quit on the steer yet
and keep his balance. Yeah, but right at this point
he is he's going I mean like when he's going straight,

(20:02):
as long as he doesn't accidentally hit right for the
AC unit, he's good, right Yeah, And it's like he's
getting really good all of a sudden like this, it's
like it all hit him at once. We're still practicing steering,
but I am like, my goal is like he needs
to be riding a bike proficiently by Christmas, and then

(20:22):
him and I could get mountain bikes. We've got trails
right next to us. They've got a little bike trail
with like like dirt ramps that go up and down
and around, and then the trails in general. I cannot wait.
I think it's gonna be great. He's got to be
proficient enough to ride without training wheels.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
For you do you have like a bike park or
you can do all kinds of different like like some
of these bike parks and they have like the trails
that are made for mountain bikes. You can do ramping and.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
The like that. Yeah, they've got one like that made
for mountain bikes. And then next to that is just
like the big nature preserve and trails. Anyway, that's cool, sea,
that's the goal.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Some people I've heard have bypassed having to run alongside
the kid's bike. They go out and buy a balance
bike and let the kid get balanced on a balance
bike first, and when they do that, then they get
them on. They don't even do training wheels. They get
them first trained on a balance bike, and then they
buy them a real bike, and then they they're often running.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, we had a bike with training wheels. Yeah, I'm
sure that there are many ways to go, but I'm
okay running next to them.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
There a balance bike, I know, don't think a balance bike.
I've never heard of that before. I read that a
couple of weeks ago, and I'm like, wow, that's that's
kind of because that way, you know, it's indoors and
they just keep the balance bike indoors and we're safe.
And I'm like, yeah, that's that's actually kind of clever.
So but it's also probably expensive.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
I can't be that much.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, but you got to buy two bikes then have
to kill.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Anyways, I'm gonna I'm gonna need to get a like
a mountain bike here. But yeah, but no, I feel
like you need it. Like I put so much mileage
on my mountain bike back in the days, I feel
like it's needed. I'm excited for it. I cannot wait.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
You're you're gonna get to be a kid again, to
go out biking with your kid.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
I know, for real, that's good. I'm excited about that.
And then a little proud today.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah. Absolutely, you know. So one down, one to go.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
That's right? Yeah? What one is not even quite there yet?
He is, he's not a ways to go.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
But that's great. Now keep him, keeping him on the
bike and out of out of the mischief.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
What I might do is figure out how to get
like something on the back for him to sit my
younger one to sit on behind my so he could
go out with us or something cool.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, put him on the handlebars, but get a basket
put on, you know, get the like Yeah, why not?
You know, I'm sure there's this Pancho would be perfectly
fine with that, right.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh gosh, any gays, so well, have you have you
had any updates on the Pancho's possum is.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
My my my son says that he spotted him through
the cracks of the deck. Okay, and so we we
know that it's there. It's just it's been hiding for me.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
But I know it's okay, Yeah, all right, so well
it hasn't had a family yet, but it's still there.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, I hoping up. Man, it's a matter of time.
I know it.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
No, absolutely, that's good. So well, you know, at least
you've got possums and you don't you don't have toad
to worry about.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
That's right. Yeah, at least possums. I I don't know
of any drugs you could do that involved possums.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
So no, no, that's true. No, not not not not
much at all.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
So trust me, I've tried. Yeah, yeah, dude, toads. I
don't know. Maybe this sounds like a good Friday night
or maybe this sounds like like crazy leads us into
a first story of the week, So yeah, look, welcome
to Eric Insane Airiclane super World. If he hasn't mentioned,

(24:25):
I'm Poncho Guado, I'm his insane Florida correspondent. But where
do I get my name from? It's a mix of
a joke from my mother in law and me trying
to butcher the Spanish language. My I consider myself Mexican
in law. I think that, you know, in the current

(24:47):
current climate, I think there's you know, more crazy things
you could assume. So accounts Marie into it honestly, and yeah,
so look, I got to add a Florida spinning things.
But in this case, we're going on to Arizona where
apparently this is something I could see happening in Florida.
I could see us having toxic toads.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
And I think we've actually either it has either been something
we both talked about or I've talked about before on
a previous episode of Toxic Toads before.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
But we've we've previously on toxic toad right, Yeah, I
think I think it sounds funny.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Oh that look, it's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Resent our first headline of the week, Rain is bringing
out toxic toads and Arizona officials have to tell people
to stop licking them. And I feel like an announcement
like this is only going to encourage more people to like, oh.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, you know it. The curiosity is ramped up that.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
It's got me curious about that, right, I'm like, and
I think, goodness, there toxic toads in my ear, because
I'd be a little bit tempted. Recent rainfall in the
Phoenix area has been more than just green up the desert.
It's brought out some of Arizona's less friendly wildlife. The
noorin desert toads and wild mushrooms are suddenly showing up

(26:06):
in parks and backyards. While they and they might look interesting,
local poison control officials are reminding everyone that interesting does
not mean safe. You know, But but but what about fun?
They don't see anything about that. The banner Poison Control
and Drug Informations that there says some people have apparently

(26:29):
decided that licking the Sonoran desert toad, also called the
Colorado River toad is a good idea. Well, it's not.
The toad secretes a neurotoxin containing five.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Me o d m t A.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
It's like, uh, it's a psychoactive compound, right, that can
cause serious illness or even death. In other words, it's
more likely to land you in the hospital than in
a spiritual awakening. Zoologist Gray Stafford knows the risks. First,
his German shepherd had an unfortunate encounter with one of
the toads. Stafford says, quick action saved this dog's life.

(27:06):
The first thing I would do is take a garden
hose and flush their tongue to get an emergent and
get to an emergency room right away. He said, you
want to keep their body temperature from spiking that could
lead to seizures or death. In short, there are better
ways to spend an evening than hosing slime off your
dog's tongue. The toads aren't the only concern. Mushrooms have

(27:30):
also been popping up after the rain. That's what I
can get in my yard is like mushrooms, yeah grow, yeah. Well.
According to the Banner Poison Control, it's nearly impossible to
tell the harmless ones from the kind that will make
you regret your curiosity. Their advice is simple, don't touch, taste,
and don't assume you're suddenly an expert mycologists. If anyone

(27:54):
attempted to experiment with either desert toads or mystery mushrooms,
experts recommend skipping this self examined experimentation part I'm sorry,
and instead calling the Poison Control and Drug Information Center
at one hundred to one, two to two. I'm pretty
sure I've seen that number on the bathroom. Yesall sing

(28:15):
you know, yes, If it search for a good time,
lick toad and call. Well, they'll offer advice and probably
fewer hallucinations, but it's at about what we're in it
for to begin with.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Though I don't know, it reminds me of this story.
It's it's a hilarious story about this this this mother
who was going to have folks over from the church
for like a little luncheon at her house. And she
was going to make a cast role. And the problem
is it called for mushrooms, and she didn't have any mushrooms. Okay,

(28:51):
so she said, well, there's some growing out under the
tree out here. They looked. I mean, she also the
you know out there. She goes, well, all right, look,
let's let's cut some of them. It was just a
few of them up, put them in the dog's food,
and uh, if the dog, you know, it was okay.
Later in the afternoon they should be safe. So that

(29:11):
morning she took some of the mushrooms and cut them up,
mix them in at the dog's food, and come.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
And just go to the store. At some point in
the day.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Well, I guess they were. They lived so far out
in the country. I guess they couldn't get to the store.
I don't know, but anyway, she, Uh, by the middle
of the afternoon, the dog was you know, running around
bark and chasing rabbits and all this kind of things.
She goes, well, I guess they're all right. So she
went and gathered up a hut and put them in
her cast role. And uh, you know, later that evening,
the folks in the church came in and she had

(29:40):
them all set around the table. They were complimenting her
on such a delicious cast role. They wanted the recipe.
They were just all ooh and awe and this and
that and the other. They were sitting around the table
and finishing up their dessert, kind of like, you know,
just enjoying some lovely things time together. And about the
time the kid comes into the into the dining room
and tells us Mo that that Fido just died.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Oh man.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
And so the woman freaks out and she explains to
everyone what she had done. And of course, at this
point when I heard this, they kind of started feeling
a little green around the gills, you know, at this point, right.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
At that point or is it, I don't know, I guess.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
They end up calling poison Control. The ambulance comes racing out.
They come by, and they spend the next hour pumping
everybody's stomachs to make sure they don't get any kind
of poison from the mushrooms. So, after this whole ordeal
is over with and everyone's just kind of sitting around
feeling a little queasy out of the whole thing, not
many people were really talking. The boy finally spoke up
and said, you know that, you know, you know that

(30:41):
that car that hit that dog didn't even stop and
look back.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Oh my gosh, is this all just like a Norm
McDonald joke set up?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
It's just so, it's just a Norm McDonald joke, that's
all it was.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
That's oh my gosh. Man.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well well yeah, all right, but still it was still
pretty funny when I first heard it. Told they really,
but I also probably left a lot of parts out
of it as well.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
But this actually is it sounds like a Norm McDonald joke.
Was I right that it's actually Norm?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Probably Norm McDonald probably told it. I'm pretty sure that, man. Look,
from dogs to cats, we've got a We've got a
well known cat here in Pennsylvania that has made some
serious headlines here. Okay, I mean most cats live nine lives,

(31:30):
that's what they say. Right, Well, I don't know. I
don't know how many lives a cat would lose per mile.
Maybe if they're clinging to a car. This family here
in Pennsylvania, they decided to go on a road trip.
So they've been traveling on the road one hundred miles.
They're going to stop for a potty stop get gas.

(31:52):
So when they get out of the car at the
gas station, that's when they realize their little kitty cat
named ray Ray was coming along for the ride. But
he was not hiding like underneath the van, you know,
like most cats would. No, he was actually clinging to
the roof. Okay, it's well, they've got one of these

(32:13):
soft cargo carriers that they have on top of the car.
They're on the roof, and so ray Ray somehow was
able to hold on to the fabric of it for
dear life while they were barreling it down the highway
at seventy miles an hour. So here's the cat's owner,
Mara DiNardo. She's explaining the ordeal that tappened.

Speaker 7 (32:31):
We had driven for two hours and needed to stop,
for gasp. My husband gets out of the car, and
it's like the cat is on the roof, and we're like,
what do we do. We're already so far into the trip,
we have a long way to go to get to
New Hampshire, and my husband says he's just gonna have
to come with us. And he had such a good

(32:52):
time and a great, you know, adventure. So I actually
did videos and pictures everywhere we went of him.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Of course, the family couldn't believe it. They believe it
or not, was unfazed. After one hundred miles on a
high speed road trip, they decided, well, we'll just continue
on and bring Ray Ray along for this epic vacation,
which included running a marathon in New Hampshire, then driving
to New York and see Hamilton. Of course, they needed supplies,

(33:18):
so then they went to the pet store and picked
up a litter box and food and one of those
cat backpacks. I didn't even know they made backpacks for cats.
But they shared y Ray's vacation on social media and
it seemed like that Ray Ray probably did not regret
hanging along for the ride, because for what it's worth,
he's an indoor, outdoor kind of cat. See and they did,

(33:40):
of course, had to sneak him into their Airbnb because
technically they didn't know they'd have a cat with them
when they reserved it. So but apparently Ray Ray now
is an Internet star because he was able to tag
along hanging on for dear life on a cargo mount
on top of a car for seventy mile an hour journey.

(34:00):
That's uh, that cat really wanted to, you know, be
included in the family.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
You know, Oh my gosh, I can only like it
makes you think of the homeward Bound kind.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Of movies, like, oh, that's right.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
In this case, it's not like the cats like endearingly like, uh,
you know, I'm gonna find you. It's more like it's cleaning.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah, well, this cat was clingingest cat I've ever.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Seen, right, I could I guess it could have happened there, right,
one hundred mile journey.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
This thing hold on seventy miles an hour, speeding down
the highway.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
It definitely seems like something from a I guess what
what do you call? I don't know, like a team
well seam comedies or something you know, like.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Like well, yeah, the National Lampoon or even a Walt
Disney movie or something like that.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Too.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
You know that. Yeah, I can say that. But honestly, though,
I wonder what was going through that port cat's mind
going down the highway.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Oh man, Yeah, well look, yeah, I guess you have
a cat cleaning onto the road. It's a good thing
she didn't fly off and hit someone's windshield or car,
because it could have caused a car crash.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Oh could have.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
That's basically what this next man is saying though, But
instead of it being a cat that caused him to
wreck his truck, he's saying, it's a Cuba cabra. What
you know, I enjoy these kind of stories. That's what
I thought. You probably know I was gonna pick it.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
That's why I knew you'd pick them. That's right, because
they had the word cub of cobra in the oh.

Speaker 6 (35:41):
I know.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yeah, it's a twenty one year old. It's a real story. Right.
There's a guy he flips his truck. He says it's
because a Tuba cobra ran out in front of him.
If a Chuba coppa runs out in front of me,
I'm going to put my foot on the gas pedal harder. Okay, yeah, yeah.
A twenty one year old man in Bedford, Indiana. He
managed to crash his truck and give police one of

(36:02):
the most creative excuses for drunk drunk driving in recent memory.
He swerved to avoid a tubericabra. Now, look, if he
was smarter, he would have clearly known that tuber cobra
typically comes from Mexico. That's a long way in Indiana.
It is better off saying like the dog. There's a

(36:23):
dog man crossing the road or something, or maybe just
a dog. I guess, yeah, well that's that's right. There.
A mythical blood sucking I think it calls the goat sucker, right,
creature from Latin America folklore, apparently leapt out of nowhere
right into the path of his twenty eleven Chevy S ten.

(36:44):
Because when you've had a few too many, it's never
your fault, and it's always the fault of supernatural wildlife.
You know that that's Miller's fault. For Miller doesn't what
I'm saying. I'm assuming these guys were in Krabby beer.
Maybe he's not.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Maybe he was just drinking too many coronas.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yeah, that's true. You know, he does seem more like
a Corona guy. You're right, well, according to police, the
crash happened around one am, which is coincidentally also prime
tuber Coppra activity hour, right between last call and bad decisions.
It all happens, they say, nothing that happens at two
am or after two am, But yeah, no one talks

(37:29):
about one am, when the twob of cabres come out
and the drunks come out. Well. When deputies arrived, they
found the man sitting on a rock near his flipped truck,
probably reflecting deeply on the brush on his brush with cryptozoology.
He admitted he'd been drinking, so at least there was
a moment of honesty. But then he told officers that

(37:52):
they didn't need to check his eyes because and they quote,
he was drunk. Refreshing self awareness, I think though now
the kind that only seems to appear after an accident
and a strong odor of beer. But the highlight came
when they asked what happened or constant like to get

(38:13):
in the crash? Well, without hesitation, he said a tubercaba
ran out in front of him. Because nothing. This guy
has been honest at this point, so I think that
maybe we should give him a little bit of benefit
of the doubt, right, Why would we not believe him
at this point. He's been honest up to this point
about things that are more incriminating, right, Well, because nothing

(38:36):
says I lost control of my truck quite like blaming
it on the creature best known for terrorizing goats. Belize,
doing their due diligence, noted that they did not find
any evidence of a chuber Coapra at the scene. No
one ever does, Okay, no footprints, no blood, blood drained livestock,
not even a tuft of mysterious fur sknocking. I know.

(38:57):
Perhaps it wasn't a Chuberkabra after all, though, Maybe it
was the elusive Ozar Cowler, or maybe just maybe it
was the Curb or the Michigan dog Man. Yeah, I've
heard the Michigan dog Man has been spotted down in
Kentucky lately. Yeah. Yeah, well the Curb is probably more likely.

(39:21):
In the end, he was arrested for operating a vehicle
under the influence and taken to the hospital for a
blood draw, where one can only assume the medical staff
was equally disappointed not to see the encryptids wandering the hall.
So yeah, it's kind of You're either gonna get like
blood drawn from the goat sucker or blood drawn from
the nurse.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Yeah, there you go. That's that's crazy. Well, I guess
if you're three sheets to the wind, you can probably
find Cuba Copper is pretty much anywhere at one o'clock
in the morning. You know, it just kind of depends
on how your headlights hit them sometimes, I guess, I
don't I don't know, but but we we had a
big event here on Monday. It really even affected me

(40:02):
because you know, I get up early in the morning
to start my I can promise you, as I have
traveled to work in the wee darkened early morning hours,
I have not seen any troop of cobbras in central Pennsylvania.
But I do listen to, you know, a few podcasts
and things to kind of keep me occupied on my

(40:25):
half an hour forty five minute drive to work. And
so I fire up my podcast app and the podcast
that I'll listen to is not there. So I'm like, hmm, okay,
well maybe something happened in the distribution. So then, well
I happen to have an app from the people that

(40:46):
do the podcast, I'll say, well, I'll just open up
their app and I'll just listen to the podcast from
their app. So I fired up the app and nothing
came up. It's just like you got a little warning
box saying there's no content. I'm like, what so that okay,
then I'll just go to the the website. So I

(41:06):
go to the website on my phone and it's not
bringing up the website either, And I'm like, what is
going on? Did they have like a power failure? Well,
now I found out why because it was that big
internet outage from Amazon Web Services.

Speaker 8 (41:20):
Oh yeah, okay, I mean and this is definitely pretty
ironic because you know, this was if you hear the story,
they call it AWS for Amazon Web Services.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
It literally affected a whole mess of cloud based apps.
All of them crashed, okay, like Snapchat, Reddit, uh, some
of these other big apps you know. And well but
not only that, not only did it effects you know,
like apps and you know, websites things like this. But
you know, we have a lot of smart homes now,
you know, and well guess what I mean, your Alexa

(41:57):
didn't work, and some smart homes also became dumb homes.
And I love this. This is one of the funniest
examples of what happened. Okay, just to show you how
dependent we are are on on high tech. But a
bunch of people have these smartbeds. Have you ever seen
the smartbeds that are out there?

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Okay, well, I don't know about.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Well you may not want one after this story, because
the smart beds really got stupid. All right. There's a
company out there called eight Sleep, and eight Sleep makes
bedframes that tilt, okay, and two thousand dollars mattresses, the
mattress covers that let you kind of like dial in
the temperature of your bed. You know, so very nice.

(42:43):
You can tilt your your bed, you can warm your
your mattress, your bed.

Speaker 6 (42:47):
You know.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Problem is, these smartbeds run on the cloud and it's
hosted by AWS. Amazon Web Services handles about a third
or thirty percent of all cloud computing around the world.
So this ended up being a pretty big issue for
eight sleep customers because once AWS went down, well it

(43:11):
bricked the whole smart mattress system. So let's say, if
your bed was in a seated position, you couldn't make
it lie flat. You just had to sleep like that
or maybe move to the couch. Now, the outage happened
around three o'clock in the morning Eastern time, so a
lot of night owls had a few issues. One guy

(43:32):
even tweeted at the CEO of the company and said
it would be great if my bed wasn't stuck in
an inclined position. Someone in the comments also added, it's
all fun and games until a hacker folds you into
a taco. Well, now, for the record, Amazon did say

(43:52):
it was not a hack a cause. Well, the cause
was what happens every time you have a big crash
like this. It was a an error or a glitch
in the upgrade, the software upgrade. It always comes with
a software upgrade, I guarantee it. Well. Other customers also
had issues with their mattress overheating. So one guy said

(44:15):
his bed was stuck at nine degrees warmer than the
room and compared it to sleeping in a sauna. So
the beds finally started working again once Amazon servers went
back online. The CEO of eight Sleep said that they
were working on to add maybe an outage mode so
something like this doesn't happen again.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Manual like a crank or something a hand Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Some kind of an override or whatever. But I love it.
I mean because you know, you got these smart homes
and smart beds and smart toilets and everything else, and
whenever the Internet goes down, they suddenly get real stupid.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
I love how an independent like we've become on Wi
Fi in the cloud or something like, yeah, but the
inner bed doesn't work anymore.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Oh my gosh. I mean, but honestly, you think about it,
if we ever did have like, you know, a serious hack,
it would immobilize this country. You would completely immobilize it.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
I think that a majority of people would even know
how to function if they did not have access for
a few days.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
What if we all had these driverless cars and it's
all dependent on the on the clouds.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Oh you know what I saw or heard a story
from like a week or two ago of a car crash.
This might have been in another country. I don't think
it was in the US, but there was a car crash. Uh,
And maybe it was like a China or somewhere. I
don't know. It was a it was a I don't
know if it was a driverless car, but it was

(45:42):
one of those smart cars. And the these cars, it
seems like when they catch fire, like when they crash,
they catch fire. More likely than other cars and where
they burn like they burn where like it takes like,
you know, four times the amount of water to get
the the this this dang car ends up locking the

(46:05):
person inside because of whatever safety or whatever thing like, yeah,
locked him inside because the smart feature. And yeah, like
I mean the person died, right, the person burned to
death because he got in a car couldn't get out,
and he could not get out the car locked him
in and did not let him override that or maybe
there is an override and he just didn't know about it.

(46:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
Yeah, wow, yeah, it certainly. It certainly became your own crematorium.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Yeah, there's no, I there's no way. Like I do
not need smart everything. I don't need everything connecting to
the internet. I don't want an electric car, like there's
there are certain things I was like, no, like I
give me any gasoline.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
I think, really, when we see more instances like this,
it's gonna eventually convince people, you know, maybe technology isn't
all that it's cracked up to be. Although there would
be others out there that would say, oh no, no, no,
we just have to work out all the bugs.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Well that's what they've been saying about communism for decades,
were like, and we all see sie where that's done right,
And then every time they say no, no, they didn't
do it right, until the next time they're like, this
is what we mean, and then it blows up and
they're like, no, I mean I mean they the next one. Well, yeah,
it's always you know, yeah, it's always the safing.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Well and if anybody in New York City is listening
to this podcast, take note. That's what I'm gonna say.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Okay, oh yeah, all that's right, because what's his face.
It's like, yeah, you know, I'm so far far out
of like the loop for some of this stuff.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Oh yeah, let's ask Venezuela how that kind of system
worked for That was one.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Of the countries that used to praise Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
well yeah. Sometimes old school it's just like if it
ain't broke, don't fix it, right.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
And you know, gasoline, I will my gas car. I
know how to fix it when it breaks and try
like it can be relied on to let me out
of it whenever it crashes, or to only require one
tank full of water to put.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Out well, and you can always find a way to
get out of the car, to unlock it and get out.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
I mean, I'm almost down to where I'm like. Sometimes
I wonder like if do I need to get like
hand crank windows or something. I don't know if I'm car,
but I keep a knife in my car that's got
the seatbelt cutter the knife, and it's got like the
window break on the other side. Because there's so many
bridges in Jacksonville where I live. I was like, if

(48:46):
if anything ever happens like that, I need to I
need to get all the things cut broken whatever. Yeah,
I'm not gonna trust my electric windows to work.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Just remember that story that I told about my parents
and they set off their burglar alarm and their buick
and they couldn't figure out how to turn it off.

Speaker 9 (49:03):
Yeah, right, you knows, miss Remember in my whole life,
right there do geriatrics trying to look through their bind
vocals to turn off the burglar alarm they set on
their buick?

Speaker 2 (49:15):
So well, I imagine now, like we have beds that
won't recline, right, We're only I'm sure years away from
the smart coffin. And and when when a Wi Fi
outage or a cloud outage.

Speaker 10 (49:28):
Happened, Smart Coffin, You're gonna you're gonna have a bunch
of corpses sitting up in their coffin and imagine the
fright and scared that that's gonna bring people.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Smart Coffin, I like that.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Yeah, But actually this is a very Halloween themes story
about here. I think it's worth just going for the
headline because it's a banger. Twenty four rotten corpses ruined
plans for a safe family Halloween party. Ain't that just
a way the way? Man? Wow?

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Wow, that would really ruin my Halloween.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Well, it would either ruin your Halloween or would make
the whole season depending it would right, I've heard of
like House of a Thousand Corpses. You know you're you're
a good step of the way there.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
Yeah, you know that's right.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Well. In Twebla County, Colorado, the local Corner's office recently
learned that timing and common sense both matter. Just months
before twenty four rotting corpses, I'm sorry. Just months after
twenty four rotting corpses were discovered behind a hidden door
in the old county mortuary, officials decided it would be

(50:42):
a good idea to host a safe and sweet family
Halloween party. The new corner, doctor Greg Garrick, had taken
over after former corner Brian Cotter, resigned when the decomposing bodies,
some reportedly left for up to fifteen years, were found
in the facility called her co owned with his brother.

(51:04):
In an effort to rebuild public trust, doctor Garrick planned
a cheerful family from the Halloween event right at the
coroner's office. Unfortunately, the community didn't find the idea of
trigger trading where bodies had once been hidden particularly comforting.
Obviously that's gonna draw that's gonna draw the wrong kind
of crowd, and not the family well. Public backlash came quickly,

(51:28):
and the office eventually took to Facebook to cancel the
event and saying the intention was simply to provide a
safe place for families to celebrate. They added to celebrate
that there are no more brought in corpses here. Come on.
They added that it had become clear the event was
not well received by the community. In the end, Bubblo

(51:48):
County Corner's Office may have learned the hard way that
when your workplace just made headlines for decomposing bodies, maybe
hosting a Halloween party isn't the best way to say
we're trustworthy. Again.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Yeah, I loved that. I love the fact that was
so plutonic for them to say this was not well received.
I think I would think of a much more let's
just say, descriptive way of saying it. They were pissed.
Let's just say that. You know, it's like you want
us to do what you just you know, you barely

(52:23):
had the place sanitized after cleaning up twenty four riding
corpses for a safe and sweet Halloween event. That's great,
you know, Oh my gosh, that's that. Well. Look, maybe
the same person that came up with that idea was
the same person that came up with a new logo
for Cracker Barrel. I don't know. That's just I don't
know what Some people honestly do not understand how they

(52:46):
were able to miss the train that handed out common
sense to people. I just I don't, I really don't.
But this this woman here, I think maybe this is
common sense gone awry here, okay, And I think this
is probably why when you go to the checkout line,
you see all the candy and gum as you're moving

(53:07):
through the checkout line. You don't find weapons there, and
this is probably for good reason. It's a twenty five
year old woman of all places, New Jersey. Of course,
they're facing charges after a really slow checkout line caused
her to snapper wrapper and buy a knife and then
stab the customer in front of her. Okay, this happened

(53:29):
on a Saturday at a Marshall's in Kearny, New Jersey,
which is right outside New York City. So the two
women get into this argument in line, which is what
you want to see when you're trying to you know,
get out of a you know, you're in a Marshall's
department store and you got two women getting into a
snit fit in line because one of them thought the
other one was going too slow. So Amber Thompson, you've.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Got ser McLaughlin and the speakers there and yeah, right right,
well that's the pretty much.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
Yeah, so you got Amber Thompson. She was behind the
victim who was with her family. So this argument obviously
got pretty heated because you got two women going at
it in a department store over a slow checkout line. So,
according to the police, Amber just decided to go out
and buy herself a senate kitchen knives. Then after she

(54:22):
purchased them, she removed one from the box, pursued the
woman in the parking lot, and stabbed her multiple times.
Oh yes, well, thankfully, thankfully the woman will be okay.
But here's the people, they're in the community reacting to
this bizarre news insanity.

Speaker 11 (54:43):
I think it's pretty crazy that that happened here.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
And what is this Carnie Harrison.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
Yeah, it's just crazy.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Now she shows up at the hospital with several puncture
wounds to her torso. But the cops did say that
they were all more or less superficial, so I guess
they weren't really de puncture wounds. But really not good
though if Amber already had the knives in her cart
or went back to get them after the argument. But
the fact is, I.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
Like to think she went back.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
I'm thinking she probably went back to get them, you
know what I'm saying. But but she did apparently did
pay for them first, so at least she got them legally,
all right, But cops did a restaurant for aggravated assault.
But yeah, can you that's that's uh, I don't know,
would you call that a spontaneous purchase?

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Maybe the idea of someone going back to go purchase
like the knives, because you're like, you know what, I'm
gonna go, and and like they're like, I'm okay stabbing someone,
but I'm not okay stealing the knife to do. So,
you're right, right, exactly, even if some people that like,
you know, grab a drink while they're grocery shopping and
then they they bring the drink to the checkout and
they like, you know, pay for like you already didn't

(55:51):
drink a bottle of stuff.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
And then when he drank half of it, right, Like.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
I've even seen that happen. But to think that you're like, nope,
I'm gonna do this the right way, and.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
Never wanted it occur to her that they could probably
track the knives based upon her purchase.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Yes, that's exactly I was thinking. Hopefully she paid cash
for that so they can't trace it back to her.
That was my first thought reading that headline. Yeah, oh
my gosh, well at least we know she's an ethical criminal. Yeah, well,
she's got some standards. She's like, i may be an

(56:29):
attempted murder, homicide, murder or whatever, but I'm not no
thief Okay.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
I'm not a thief. I'm not a thief.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
Man. Well, look we've got someone maybe maybe you know,
this woman could have saved a few bucks if she
would have heard this story, our last story, her headline
first when she realized that you didn't even need a
knife to do the job, right, because you know, we
got these these things called teeth that that I think
have made for for.

Speaker 12 (57:00):
Uh biting and yeah, yeah, so our last story here,
Florida woman arrested for after punching, scratching, and biting her
boyfriend's genitals during an altercation.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Yeah, that's quite an altercation.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
This is like a monkey, right, they say, like monkeys
like they go for they go for the lists and
like the like the pelanges and the genitals. Like it's
just she.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
Goes right for the goal right there.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Yeah right, Maybe maybe she was just over excited or zealous,
you know, give the benefit of down. Like this horrific
tale is out of Gainesville, Florida. So Flora woman here
from the swamp, right, she's maybe maybe she's drawn to
the swamp, you know, maybe that's what this is. Uh

(57:54):
prooves once again that nothing good ever happens after two am.
I did look that was in the article there. I
somehow brought that full Sorry, I read the future, all right,
I read.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
The right there you go see there.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
The tea leaves whatever you want to look. Yeah, deputies
from the the Alatua County Sheriff's Office. They were called
to a home on Southwest seventy fifth Street around two
forty five am after neighbors heard someone screaming for help.
When they arrived, they found a man visibly shaken, out

(58:28):
of breath and showing injuries to his neck, arms, and back.
You know, not you know, the genitals were involved. You're
probably like, ooh, sounds like a good night. Out of breath, exhausted,
a little shaken, some scratches down your back. Well. The
men told deputies that the trouble began earlier in the

(58:48):
night after an argument with his thirty five year old girlfriend,
Maya Taylor. I guess it was about her drinking. Yeah,
obviously she doesn't have a.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
Problem, right, apparently not well.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Well, it started as a disagreement apparently escalated into a
full blown fight after the couple returned home. According to
the arrest report, Taylor grabbed a pair of scissors and
threatened to harm herself. When her boyfriend tried to take
the scissors away. Things turn it took a violent turn.
Investigators say Taylor begins scratching, punching, and biting her boyfriend,

(59:21):
including disturbingly targeting his man package. Deputies noted that this
wasn't Taylor's first defense because of a previous case. She's
not facing felony battery charges. She's being held in the
Alachua County Jail while the victim, what assumes, is rethinking

(59:42):
every decision that led up to this point. Yeah, usually
when you know, when you've got I don't know what
I know that there are sexually transmitted diseases that can
effect down there, but apparently there's some physical you know. Yeah,
maybybe you need will check your your your your ladies
or your your partner's mental health as well, not just

(01:00:05):
their physical health. Right, but when the when the arguments
about drinking, maybe the phrase it's time to cut back
shouldn't involve like actual scissors. Yeah. You probably also shouldn't
refer to you know, them cutting back drinking as maybe
like circumcising their their alcohol something. Yeah, after this, the

(01:00:27):
boyfriend probably won't be locking up the liquor it'll be
hiding the scissors too.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Yes, locking up the and hiding all sharp objects before
engaging in an argument with your spouse, you know. Oh
my gosh. Yeah, Well definitely the woman knew where to target,
that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Oh it's not like the first like like lesson that
everyone lady learns in self defense is like you go
for the any any of the balls, right the eyes
or the general like went in doubt attacked the balls,
and that's like testies back and forth, back and forth

(01:01:08):
until they don't get up.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Well, I mean honest with you, this, this this whole
thing with this woman kind of reminds me of an
actual story that I actually witnessed at the radio station
several years ago. I want to say it. I think
it came from the county prison. Not because we have

(01:01:32):
a county prison, we have a state prison. But I
think it came from the county prison. There was a
fight and a cell. This was on a state police report.
I did not include it in our newscast. I'll just
know and you'll you'll find out why. But it was
you know, the forms that the state police fell out
and send like the public news press releases, so you know,

(01:01:56):
You're going through the forum, and it gives you the date,
the officers, the location, you know, Center County Correctional facility,
and gives all the names of the people and the
ages and white male, you know whatever. And so then
there at the very bottom, it gives a description of
the incident. So I'm going through this whole thing and

(01:02:19):
reading this guy was charged with aggravated assault against an
inmate because of a fight that got that took that.
I guess he got mad at his cellmate and got
into this massive fight in the cell. In the process
of the fight, the guy and this is what it basically,
I was gonna see. I could find the there was

(01:02:39):
a news story about it, and I couldn't find it.
But the police report says the inmate ripped off the
other inmates scrotum and they found it stuck to the wall.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
Oh, oh my gosh, whoa story.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
True story. Apparently he got in such a scrap with
each other. The guy ripped the guy's ball sack off
and in the process it flung it and literally the cops,
the folks at the prison, they found his ballsack slapped
up against the wall. That's hardcore. And so I had

(01:03:18):
to pass it around everybody in the station. I said,
this actually happened, and they go, you're not putting this
on the news, are you?

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
The first?

Speaker 1 (01:03:34):
Absolutely? But if I had this podcast back then, that
would have been the lead story right there, because I
mean they give it in graphic detail. It was pretty
pretty hysterical. We got a good laugh out of the

(01:03:54):
whole thing, that's for sure. I'm telling you so. And
of course, you know you would expect that in a
in a prison, in a jail. But man, I'll tell you,
when you got a woman that goes after the man
packings like that, you got to kind of watch yourself,
you know, especially if you're a girlfriend or your wife's
got some you know, a good set of nails on her,
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Yeah, that's right. I mean I was almost thinking like
maybe I could convince Missus Poncho to go all games
Bill Swamp on me.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
But I don't know that you can't see it, of course,
I don't know. I mean, you get that that Mexican
blood boiling. You never know what you could get into.
You know, Missus Poncho is a very nice and demurrorh petite,
nice little lady. But you know, you tweak her enough time.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Is that she's very nice and polite, very gentle to mirror,
very very good, very like yeah, who is like totally
believes in capital punishments.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
So oh man, you know, you know, it would be
pretty funny. It would be really funny if she just
got so so ticked off at you for something that
she would just start screaming at you in Spanish.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
Unfortunately that like she thinks in English, so that just
would not happen. Okay, Yeah, she says she has a
harder time like expressing herself in Spanish.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Wow? I was. I could count on one hand how
many times I've actually made her mad at me before?

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
And yeah, was it intentional?

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
One time was one time we we went airborne on
a jet ski and she she read my mind before. Okay,
so but yeah, oh she totally did. And and yeah
I made her bite her lip on accident.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
No, no, but and that's for the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
Mats she ever was at me for something like that.
And it was only like five minutes. Okay, Well, and
she was so very sweet and gentle about it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
She couldn't she couldn't stay mad much longer than five minutes.
Are sure that yeah, well, what would you would you
like to see missus Pancho as a naughty nurse for Halloween?

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
It depends is she going out in public like that
or Okay, I see where this is going.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've got we've got this.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
Would want to see herself as that? I will say that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
Well, I would agree, But you know, we have Halloween
coming up. We've had some Halloween references in the In
this episode, we've got to ask Pancho question about a
naughty nurse Halloween costume and would it be appropriate for
it to be worn by a nine year old girl.
So here's what they're asking. I say, dear Pancho, my

(01:06:40):
ex and I goes keep that it's her ex, so
that's something. But they said that we're fighting about our
daughter's Halloween costume. She wants to dress up as a
naughty nurse. She said she got the idea for her
costume from her friends. Now my ex has no problem
with this. I don't want to disappoint our daughter, but

(01:07:02):
feel the outfit is inappropriate. My ex says, I'm overreacting
and too uptight. He says, Halloween and kids should be
able to dress how they won, so should we allow
our nine year old to dress up as a naughty nurse?
Who's right? Me or him?

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
Obviously not? Are you kidding? Yeah? No, I mean is
it that why he's your ex? Anyways?

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Well? Yeah, and it's a nine year old I mean yeah,
old nine year old?

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Yeah no, I mean almost even more so of your teens,
because then you're like, all right, what are you gonna
not know? But no, ye, no more when you're nine.
Absolutely no more when you're nine, I say almost no. Well,
that's what concerns me, the fact that she got that's well,
I guess the w.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
Well, you're right, he's a father in her life. There's
not an adolescent.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
But but honestly, I think we're concerning is who is
her friends?

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
That is true? Yeah, You're friends play a really big
role on on.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Your What are her friends doing that she's getting the
idea of going as a naughty nurse from her friends?
I'd be concerned about who she's hanging out with.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
No, totally agree. Yeah, that would not fly if I
had a daughter. That would not fly for a second.
Oh man, And I wouldn't go bad either.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
So wow, what would you say to the What would
you say to the X. That's what I want to
know who.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
Cares like like me. But the tough thing, though, is
then you have to contend like, all right, well then
I want to stay with my dad for Halloween there
and then and then you got like, oh, my dad's
going to be the cool one, and but like, oh,
I know, sorry, Like at the end of the day,
I'm not going to be worried about whether I'm the
cool parents or not. I'm going to do what's right

(01:08:50):
by my kids.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
And yeah, well that means it's bad enough that you
you you're you got someone that's opposing to you, kind
of your adversary in your relationship, and now he's an
adversary as a co parent.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
Right, Yeah, some people will do that just just to
to get at the other one. I don't know if
that's the case or not.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
But makes you kind of wonder though, It.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Does make you wonder, you know, well, I I know that. Look,
if anyone in my household is dressing up like a
naughty nurse, it's gonna be me, damn it. So if
I can't do it, nobody else does.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Well. If if you do that, make sure that you've
got a really good bus line that's yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
I've been working on it. Man. I got the fast,
I got the doing some inclined up like like uh,
weightlifting stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
And you'll be the first naughty nurse with a six pack.

Speaker 6 (01:09:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Look that that is where you think dad Bob means
that you've got like a chubby. I don't think that
means like full chubby. I think that dad Bob is
like generally fit, but not six p No, but they're
not six I'm a thirty four almost thirty five year
old dad. But what I do have is I still

(01:10:09):
fit into the same waistline pants, like I could still
fit in pants from high school.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
Oh nice, Right, so you can dress like Bruce Springsteen.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
I could dress like Bruce Springsteen. And and like if
anything like the clothes I used to wear, I just
fill in even more because I've actually feeling a lot
of muscles well keeping you know, like a waistline like
the right, Dad good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:31):
Isn't necessarily chubby, And it's not chiseled either. It's it's
kind of like plump you know you've got you've got well,
it's got like you've got some some love handles.

Speaker 13 (01:10:41):
I will say, I am not plump, but I but
I don't have like six pack abs. I'm not chiseled,
but I'm not plump, but I am. I'm definitely fit
and strong though I And that's okay, that's that's like,
that's good enough right here in the amount of work
it would take to be able to do more so I.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Can put muscle on and not let my elbows fall off. Okay,
there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
You're not you're not chiseling. But would you call yourself
a hard body?

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
A hard body? I don't even what's that. I don't
know what that means. This is getting old or something.
I'm afraid to answer that because.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
I don't know. I don't know what I think. I
think maybe the hard body would mean that whenever you walk,
nothing jiggles.

Speaker 2 (01:11:26):
Nothing jiggles. Yes, no, yeah for sure. Yeah then I'm
a hard body, all.

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
Right, So I think that's where that comes from. So
if you can walk with that jiggling, then.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
I could definitely walk without giggling. I do everything without jiggling.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
Man, this is hilarious. Okay anyway, So but all of
this all because you said you're gonna go as a
notty nurse.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
Yeah, if anyone's doing it. It's gonna be me.

Speaker 1 (01:11:56):
Yeah, that's great. Okay, Yeah, Well, if you decided that
I want a picture because it's going to be our podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
I don't think my wife would love me. Yeah. Well
I've got another, asked Pancho. They have They have the
headline here, the title of their the I Guess question.
They say, Hell, should I trust chat GPT about breaking
up with my boyfriend?

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
God?

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
I mean, I'll say at this point it might do
a better job than you would, So who knows? Uh,
your Poncho, I'm not going to give you my name
because some of my family and friends listen to your podcast. Well,
thank you very much. I'm writing because I've been dating
my boyfriend for almost a year and a half. I'm
frustrated because he has never mentioned taking a relationship to

(01:12:43):
the next level. Now I'm curious, like, what does the
next level mean? That's that is a curiosity thing, and
maybe this ties into your peace of mind for the
day too, That's possible, likely not from when I'm a senior.
But how long does it girl have to wait? Well, look,

(01:13:03):
I don't want to brag here, but when you're with
Ponto Guido, you wait for about a year, and you're
already married by this point, you would have been married
for about six months. Okay, there you go. Yeah, now
that might be a little bit mom quick for other people,
but but yeah, I married thirteen months after we had met,

(01:13:24):
about like a year after we started dating, or somewhere
along those lines, close enough to those figures, no more
than a month of a of a standard deviation on that. Okay, Now,
if you're not sure by now, why do I keep
going to be sure? Well? This my other experience is
like I was pretty sure within like three months, and

(01:13:45):
then I gave it a few more months, just like really,
like all right, let me make sure I'm not making
a big mistake. And by then I was like, yeah, no,
for sure. Now the other night and yeah, eight plus
years later, with ye beautiful latina, missus poncho, I get

(01:14:05):
all the Latina without the crazy uh. She is half
half Mexican, so I always I would say that, like,
you know, I definitely I could tell which half that
I got and which half I didn't from her on
those things. If yes, if you're not sure, but now
this is I'm sorry, this is turning into me bragging

(01:14:27):
about my wife.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
I'm sure she's fine with that. I know.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
I'm sure she is. Yeah, uh, they said. The other night,
I got bored at work and asked CHATCHPT if I
should break up with my boyfriend. I wrote a brief
summary of our relationship before the a I told me
I should dump them. I was kind of shocked. What
do you think you agree with chat GPT? It is
supposed to be it is supposed to be smarter than humans. Yeah,

(01:14:53):
but like, it's not personal. There's nothing personal. There's nothing
relational about GPT.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
Unless she's developing in a relationship with chat GPT.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
Look, the whole her movie with Joaquin Phoenix was like
a like it was like a prediction for what was
gonna come. Man, I don't know your boyfriend. I do not.
I don't know if I know enough to say you
should or shouldn't. But I certainly think it's probably worth
a conversation if that is really concerning you.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Well, yeah, I'm thinking that. Why is she talking to
chat GPT now with her boyfriend?

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Right? One thing I will say is is like, as
you get older, like when when I mean when I
was young, I used to think that like money was
the the most finite resource. I had right, Like, like
I did not have a lot. I was pretty poor,
you know, like not growing up per sae like it
was like middle middle class. And but but like you know,

(01:15:50):
you start off on your own and you're trying to
do it all yourself. You're trying to so like you
kind of are building things from the ground up. And
and but it was it was fun though, like I
don't know, there's something about it. It was just like fun
and I enjoyed it. Like, but I felt like that
was like man, like if I had a little more,
if I had a little more, I'm not rich. I'm
not even close to being rich. But the thing I
realized now is that like money is not really that

(01:16:12):
big of a deal, and it is if you don't
have any I get that. But like one thing that
you'll never get back is time. Time is a yeah,
it's it is the most finite and precious resource you've got,
right And so if you've got a year and a
half there, and he doesn't think it's gonna be anytime soon.

(01:16:32):
He thinks maybe in two years or maybe, like your
time is like you can't take it back. And even
more so, like I don't know how old you are.
I don't know how old he is, but like, if
you want to ever have a family and kids, you
have a a there's an expiration date on when that's.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
Not gonna biological clock right.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
So like time even more though, is going to not
be working for you. Let's say two years go by
and it turns out that you guys are not going
to work out. Up, those are two years that you're
not going to get back, two years that you could
have spent investing in something that is going to be
better right or there right? And then another thing, I
can think a lot of people say like, oh, you

(01:17:13):
should wait till you're thirty or thirty five to get married.
A thirty five that's crazy? Do you want to have
kids and all our family?

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
Because at that point, like you basically don't have an
option except for starting right then. And I think you go,
you get pregnant thirty five as a woman, they're going
to say that you're you have a geriatric pregnancy, Like
and I say that, like it's not a joke, Like
I'm pretty sure that's legitimately a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
I think. I think a woman is okay before forty.
I think when you're getting past forty, you're starting to
get into uncharted terri.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
I do agree. So I do agree it's happened beyond.
But like with the older, are the more complications and
less likely things are going to function the right way? Right,
the higher the chance of twins. Maybe that's a good
thing for you.

Speaker 1 (01:17:56):
I don't know about.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
Yeah, you don't. You don't get that time back, is
what I'm saying, right, and you don't want to waste that.
Now here's the other thing that there's an opportunity cost
to that beyond just yourself, all right, if you if
you legitimately are like, hey, I want to get married,
I want to start a family, Like this is something
I have value that I want. Well, guess what the
people that the guys and the girls, both of the

(01:18:19):
both of the guys and girls that want to get married,
that will make good wives and good husbands because they
want to get married, they are okay and want to
serve and have that family unit and think they are
going to get married young because they're not going to
wait to do it. And so if you wait, there's
an opportunity cost where the options that you have available

(01:18:41):
to you will go down and you're going to be
stuck with people that are not married, and you're going
to start to wonder why are you thirty five years
old and not married? And you're going to find out, Oh,
that's why, and and yeah, and then you're gonna say
it's hard to find such a like it's hard to
find a good guy, it's hard to find a girl.
It's not crazy. I hear that guys too. Yeah, so no,

(01:19:04):
it's it's like, your time is the most valuable thing
you're and so like that doesn't mean that you go
break out. I don't know anything about you or your
your boyfriend, but like, from an honest advice perspective, time
is the thing you're not going to get back. Don't wait,
don't like, don't waste your time, don't wait. My wife
and I got married. We had like not a lot

(01:19:24):
of money at all, and we worked. We worked, We
said no to things so we could say yes to
other things. We did not assume and collect a lot
of debt along the way, so we aren't making decisions
by force. And you know, here I am like a
thirty four year old millennial with a house and uh

(01:19:46):
one income while my wife homeschools are kids. You know,
like it's possible to do, but you need to kind
of start young, and you need to make smart decisions.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
Young is too young because I mean there some people
who gotten married like at seventeen.

Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
Yeah right, yeah, I know, if you're in your early twenties,
you've got time make sure you're making the right decision.
That's what you want to do there. But like I
was married at like twenty five, twenty six, My wife
was twenty two. Now both of us are pretty mature,
and and you know, we're totally ready. They were. Maybe
not everyone, maybe that wouldn't be a good decision for everyone,

(01:20:22):
but but yeah, no, I don't know why you need
to wait really late till you're like almost thirty to
do these things. I think that's only going to make
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Know, well, I think what you said too even you know,
some people might might think some people might think being
getting married as young as you did might be too young.
But you said that you both were fairly mature, So
basically you're looking at like your mental age as opposed
to your physical age.

Speaker 2 (01:20:49):
That is true, right, So there is yeah, no totally degree,
because you can get yourself in a bad places by
making rash quick decisions. So but that's like you have
those conversations, so you need to talk about it with
them and see and and like you kind of know
what you want to do and what you could deal
with or not.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
And yeah, you're kind of like, well, and you've also.

Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
Had the time to be able to flush things out
And wait, right, I.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
Was just going to say, you you've managed to do
You've taken some time to think out, well what your
options are.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
A lot of people run into marriage like, Okay, you
know we've got all this sexual frustration that's pent up,
so we get married and we can let that sexual
frustration run loose. Now, well what about your financial frustration?
You know, what about your emotional frustration? So again, you
know there, I think a lot of it. You've got
to approach things pretty uh, you know, where you can

(01:21:50):
look at everything logically and not let your emotions get
carried away, but be able to you know, have a
good thoughtful plan in place, knowing where each of you
stand with each other, and don't don't make any shortsighted decisions.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
You know what I'm saying, right, Yes, yeah, I do
agree with that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
So it's kind of like how you have to approach
our insane games. You just can't rush to your first answer.
You have to give it some thought. Right, right, right,
Because you rush to your first answer, you're probably gonna
be wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
Sometimes I get that first answer and just so I
can get a clue, just.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
To get just to get the first clue. That's right,
get a clue.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
It's time to play Eric Lane's Insane game show, starring
his insane Florida nephew Panchawero. Well are you are you
prepared to run into your first mind bender for our
Insane games for this week?

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
Yeah, I'm ready for it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
We've got we've got some great statistics. These are These
are five mind benders you're going to get. Each one
has three clues. The ideal is that you can get
it without a clue, but maybe the fewer the clues
you can make it, the better off you are. Okay,
so we'll put on your your mature thinking hat here

(01:24:23):
and uh, we are prepared for mind mender number one.
And the idea is see if you can get all
five correct. Okay, So you've been doing pretty good. I
mean you've been You're you're catching on and you're you've
been on a good role here. So, so the key
is to listen to every aspect of the question, the percentage,
the type of question, because every bit counts, sir, So

(01:24:46):
your first mind bender, all right? Forty three percent of
men would be horrified if they did this on a date.
What is it I'm gonna say for men would be
horrified if they did this on a date. Now, think

(01:25:08):
about when you're dating. If you're and this is all
you know, a little less than half of all the
men if they did this on a date. What would
be the most horrific thing that you could think that
would happen on the date?

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
Failure to perform or around I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:25:27):
That's gonna be some date, right.

Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
I was gonna go with something kind of simple but
funny and childish. Let's say a farts. Let's say that
if they parted on their date, that would be embarrassing, like.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
A one cheek sneak or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Yeah, something that they thought might be able to get
out quietly and then more noise than could.

Speaker 1 (01:25:48):
The best is if you cofer sneeze and kind of
you lose control and it comes up both ends something
like that. So well, yeah, it would not be a fart.
So but uh, but you're getting close. The first clue
is waist down.

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
Waist down, so it could be failure to I mean,
they would be horrified, so waist down, Like, are you
talking about having some kind of like accidents, like you
poop your pants. You I mean, if you well, I.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
Don't know if you call it and I can't. I don't.
I don't know if you call it an accident. But
you think, wait, you think forty men would actually go
to on a first day with diarrhea? That's what I
want to know.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
But that's the girls hot. They would definitely do it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:40):
Okay, all right, all right, forty three men would be
horrified if they did this on a date. But it's
waist down, So are you gonna stick with diarrhea?

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
No? No, no, I'm saying that.

Speaker 9 (01:26:54):
It's like you poop your pants, you wet your pants,
it's got to be poop pooper be related.

Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
And okay, well your second clue is not a bodily function.

Speaker 2 (01:27:07):
Not a bodily function.

Speaker 1 (01:27:08):
Okay, so waist down not a bodily function.

Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
Waste down on a bodily function, m not a function?
So so like what what is it actually failure to perform?

Speaker 1 (01:27:23):
Like, well, if you're on a date, are you going
to be doing that while you're on the date?

Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
A lot of people would do that after like like yeah, right,
I'm not saying it's good.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
On a date.

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
Yeah, so on a date. So it's not like after Okay,
I'm going to take your hint and say I'm not
I issue was joking when I said that, Okay, but
now you got me thinking maybe there's something to it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:53):
No, it's hilarious, all right, So, uh would be horrified
if they did this on a date?

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Mortified? What in the world mortified?

Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
Ways down, you're trying to impress the person. Remember, you're
on a date. You know, there's a lot of things
that I'm sure a woman will be horrified if they
did it on date, but the one thing of the
men would be horrified if they did on a date, which,
like I said, it's not the majority, but it's getting
closed about half.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
I mean, I don't know. The things that keep coming
to my mind are a little aventure, like like, well
this in your pants, your tent in your pants, and
so were.

Speaker 1 (01:28:49):
Your pants were too tight? Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 2 (01:28:51):
Basically, it could be that.

Speaker 1 (01:28:54):
Yeah, no, no, it's not that, but you're getting you're
kind of dancing around the whole thing. Clue the final
clue the movie. There's something about Mary.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
Oh my gosh, we're not talking about like the hair
gel are you see like.

Speaker 11 (01:29:21):
Well, okay, all right, all right, I'm thinking there's seven
minute abs, right, okay, okay, seven minute as that's.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
Waist down, not a bodily function. And the movie there's
something about Mary. Oh man, I cannot believe.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
Are you like like you sit down, like you're sitting
down with like shorts on, and and you accidentally have
like a ball peeking out from the.

Speaker 1 (01:29:51):
Well. I mean, yeah, again, you're dancing around the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (01:29:56):
Oh my god, you get pants or something like yeah, yeah,
George drop completely like.

Speaker 1 (01:30:02):
Oh my god, oh no, man, don't know discovering your
zipper is down.

Speaker 2 (01:30:10):
That's it's like just your zipper. Let's hanging out or anything,
just like just your zipper. It's right. These guys would
be mortified by oh.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
For of the men would be horrified if they discovered
their zipper was down.

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
Oh my gosh. Well, I'm obviously not part of the
poor weaper things that would actually horrify me if it
were you. You also have me say, you know, like
like the hair sheel thing.

Speaker 1 (01:30:37):
I'm like, yeah, yeah, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
There's no, it's not a bobbly function.

Speaker 1 (01:30:42):
That's great, that's good. So well at least we know
that you're not that not you're you're not that modest.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
Yeah no, I'm a man.

Speaker 1 (01:30:51):
That's good. All right. So we go to mind minor
number two. This one, this percent is just much much less.

Speaker 2 (01:30:59):
Okay, beef that one man.

Speaker 1 (01:31:01):
You did. That's right, all right? Mine been to number two.
Here we have seven percent. Only seven percent of people
say this is their favorite thing to eat while watching
a football game.

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
What is a football game?

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
Only seven percent? This is seven So we're talking ninety
three percent of the folks would not be doing this.
So seven percent of the people say this is their
favorite thing to eat while watching a football game. What
is it?

Speaker 2 (01:31:35):
Okay, I'm going to say, so it's not the majority
of people.

Speaker 1 (01:31:39):
So, oh, definitely not.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
Yeah, I'm gonna say it's something spicy then because some people,
all right, you're going to cut half of the population out.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna say, like Kalipino poppers or something
like that.

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
Oh I love hellipino. Yeah, but it is not Hallo
pino poppers. So your first clue not chips.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
Chips, that would be higher than that. Your favorite thing?

Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
Oh yeah, say this is their favorite thing they eat
while they watch a football game.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
Man, is it all the things that all the football food?

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
I'm thinking, I know it's like Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
Wings, hamburg pizza, but like that would be higher than
seven percent? Do you think yeah? Or did I just
say one of these things just asking let me go,
let me go with Buffalo wings or something.

Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
I think the press Buffalo wings is a lot higher.
But your next clue is hot hot.

Speaker 2 (01:32:41):
I was right, Yeah, it's not icy, but like.

Speaker 1 (01:32:45):
Well hot maybe temperature wise, you know, yeah, but not
chips and and it'll be hot.

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
Mmm.

Speaker 1 (01:32:55):
Oh yeah, you you brushed right past it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
I know, right, I mean, is it is it like burgers?
Oh gosh, okay, I gotta pick one.

Speaker 1 (01:33:05):
It was burgers.

Speaker 2 (01:33:07):
I knew, yes, I would have high higher than that.

Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
Yeah, seven percent of people say that is their favorite
thing to eat. In other words, if there was nothing
else need in the house during a football game, but burgers,
seven percent of the people would be down with that.
So right, for most people, it's like chips and beer,
you know, or something you know. So yeah, so all right,

(01:33:33):
all right, all right, we'll we'll we'll give you that one.
All right. That's good. So you're you're one for one
one and one. So here's your third mind vendor. According
to a survey by the University of Oxford, a quarter
of the people, twenty five percent of people are turned
on by the smell of this. What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:33:55):
Turned on by the smell of this?

Speaker 1 (01:33:57):
Yeah, twenty five percent of people are turned on. But again,
now it is conducted by the University of Oxford, which
is not in the United States. Okay, so that's that's
an important thing to keep in mind, according to the university.
According to a survey about the University of Oxford, twenty
five percent of people are turned on by the smell

(01:34:19):
of this.

Speaker 2 (01:34:20):
All right, well, we're gonna start off with thinking Oxford.
I won't be as specific like Earl Gray in t
I'm gonna say tea.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
Well, that's good. I mean you're in there, you're in
the right you're in the right ballfield. I'll say that,
all right. But the first clue is not perfume or cologne.

Speaker 2 (01:34:41):
Yeah, I think that that would be like the higher
or just too august. Right. Well, okay, so not tea
in the ballpark.

Speaker 1 (01:34:51):
You're not And yeah, you're you're thinking England. Okay. So,
according to the survey University of Oxford twenty five percent
of the people are turned on by the smell of this.

Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
Hmmm, of bad breath.

Speaker 8 (01:35:06):
And I'm just kidding, kidding, I'm yeah, we'll come back
to that if you get the correct answer.

Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
Oh god, alright, I'm just trying to think of like
Austin powers on, like the teeth.

Speaker 1 (01:35:21):
I'm thinking about the teeth, right right, well, yeah, all right,
all right, you're still you're still in the right ballpark.

Speaker 2 (01:35:28):
Yeah yeah, all right. So gosh, I just.

Speaker 1 (01:35:38):
Think of the thing. I think they would turn people
on by the smell of something in England.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
By a continental breakfast.

Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:35:52):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
Okay, well all right, but it is something you eat.
That's your second clue. It is something you eat, not
perfume or cologne. But twenty five percent of people are
turned on by the smell of this, according to a
University of Oxford survey. Man, when you hear the answer,

(01:36:16):
you're going to just automatically say, oh yeah, it makes
perfectly good sense.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
That like fish and chips or something like.

Speaker 1 (01:36:26):
They do eat a lot of that. Your final clue,
soft or hard softer, oh man, something you eat but
not perfume or a cologne.

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
And it's not taking place in Gainesville. No doctor hard
would work with that.

Speaker 1 (01:36:46):
That's right, that's right, it's not you know, this is
University of Oxford, so this is yeah. Twenty five percent
of people are turned on by the smell of this
softer or hard something you eat and not perfumer cologne.

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
Oh man, that's tricky. These are tricky today. Oh goodness.
I mean, like, it's not eggs, is it?

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
Oh my? Well, yeah, that would be a great answer.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
Is cheese cheese? Oh my gosh, okay, well makes the cheese?

Speaker 1 (01:37:28):
Yeah yeah, So that well, when you're talking about the
bad breath, I mean you're trying to, you know, kiss
somebody with a cheesy breath, you know, like, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
It depends on the cheese you got too.

Speaker 1 (01:37:41):
Maybe that's true that they've got all kinds of cheese
over there in England, you know. So all right, So yeah,
that was a bit of a I think that was
all right. So we go for mind bender number four,
so if you can even it up again, Twenty nine
percent of people don't like the way this body part

(01:38:02):
of theirs looks. What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:38:05):
Oh man?

Speaker 1 (01:38:06):
Twenty nine percent of people don't like the way this
body part of theirs looks.

Speaker 2 (01:38:13):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (01:38:15):
It's almost thirty percent, but twenty nine percent, And don't
let the wording get your maybe make your mind run
too far off track. Well, okay, twenty nine percent of
people don't like the way this body part of theirs looks.

Speaker 2 (01:38:36):
Yeah, I'm gonna say, let me thank you. I'm going
to say they're nos their nose.

Speaker 1 (01:38:43):
Oh, that's an interesting lot.

Speaker 2 (01:38:45):
Of people go to get like, no job.

Speaker 1 (01:38:47):
True, well it's not the nose. And their first clue
not their stomach.

Speaker 2 (01:38:53):
Okay, not their's stomach. That's all for.

Speaker 1 (01:38:58):
Twenty nine percent of people don't like the way this
body part of theirs looks.

Speaker 2 (01:39:04):
I'm gonna say they're.

Speaker 1 (01:39:06):
Knees, nobby knees. That's good that i't you wear pants
those you see?

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
So it's probably not well, yeah, you could hide body parts,
but right, you could still sell.

Speaker 1 (01:39:20):
In fact, your next clue is they may try to
try and hide it in pictures.

Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
See okay, so their ears, Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:39:29):
My gosh, what are you gonna put on ear muffs?

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
Your hair? You can well, true, you could take your
hair back or you can tuck it in front.

Speaker 1 (01:39:38):
Now, your final clue A pair A pair Okay, so
that would and of course the ears.

Speaker 2 (01:39:45):
A pair, yea ears would have worked for that too.

Speaker 1 (01:39:47):
But that's right. But but they would try to hide
it in picks. If you got short hair, you can't
hide it unless you wear a hat.

Speaker 2 (01:39:54):
No, but twenty so twenty nine percent don't like this
Bobby part and you can try to hide it. It
comes in.

Speaker 1 (01:40:05):
A pair, not their stomach.

Speaker 2 (01:40:08):
Not their stomach. I mean, I'm going to say their.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
Feet, well, you hit all around it. I'm thinking about
the old nineteen seventies TV ad from pall Olive dishwashing liquid.

Speaker 2 (01:40:24):
Their hands, yes, guest after that, Yeah, there's two of them.

Speaker 1 (01:40:32):
But the old pal Olive dishwashing detergent TV commercial, it
has this woman apparently sitting and look they're getting their
their fingers manicured. That's what it looks like. They're like
a little manicure studio. And they're talking to Madge. Madge
is this woman who is a spokesperson for palm Olive

(01:40:53):
dishwashing liquid, and talking about how they have dishwater or
dishpan hands, you know, and their hands look terrible because
they always having to use their hand. They're dry and flaky,
and the whole time that they're talking about this, her
fingers are soaking in a bowl of palm olive dishwashing liquid,
just to prove the point that palm olive is good

(01:41:16):
for your hands, and so you can use palm olive
and not get dishwashed dish washing hands. So that's that
would be it? So all right, if.

Speaker 2 (01:41:25):
Only I was sixty years.

Speaker 1 (01:41:27):
Older, Yeah, if all you were, that's right, you would
be able to figure that out exactly, all right. So here, Yeah,
well you've also got age spots that starts showing up
when you're hit seventy or seventy five two. That's the
other thing. So or liver spots or something like that. Anyway,
all right, your final mind bender here here, I like this.

(01:41:49):
This is this is worded completely different. It takes one
tree to make fifteen hundred of these?

Speaker 2 (01:41:59):
What is it one tree to make oneteen hundreds of these?

Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
Yeah, one tree to make fifteen hundred of these.

Speaker 2 (01:42:08):
But I mean, I'll say I'll start off with a
sheet of paper or sheets of paper.

Speaker 1 (01:42:12):
Sure, well, okay, well that's not a bad start. But
your first clue is not a toothpick.

Speaker 2 (01:42:19):
Not a toothpick. Oh okay, that's another good one.

Speaker 1 (01:42:23):
But you you said it was a good start, all.

Speaker 2 (01:42:25):
Right, One one tree, one equals fifteen hundred of these.

Speaker 14 (01:42:34):
I am going to say, ah, one tree, one tree,
fifteen hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:42:51):
That's a lot. It is. It's a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:42:54):
And man, pencils, ooh, that's an interesting and uh, that's
an interesting one. Pencils. Huh, well, no, not pencils. Now
your next clue. Everyone uses it, Okay, everyone uses it.

Speaker 14 (01:43:16):
I'm going to say, oh gosh, man, these are really
stumping me today.

Speaker 2 (01:43:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:43:26):
One, it takes one tree to make one thousand and
five hundred of these toothpick and everyone uses it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:34):
Everyone uses it.

Speaker 1 (01:43:36):
Well, i'll say everyone in this country for sure.

Speaker 14 (01:43:38):
Yeah, what are the wooden things that I've got?

Speaker 1 (01:43:43):
Well, you got really close. No, your final clue, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:43:53):
White, it's white.

Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
Okay, well, everyone uses it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:59):
Probably sort of said paper than huh.

Speaker 1 (01:44:01):
Yes, you were very close.

Speaker 2 (01:44:03):
You were very close to make fifteen hundred of these.
It's not like a more specific form of paper, is it.

Speaker 1 (01:44:12):
Yeah, it could be.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
It could be goodness. Yeah, okay, well, now everyone uses
business cards. I'm not gonna it's a business cards like
now it's like, yeah, I'm trying to use some logic
and reason here. Okay, well I.

Speaker 1 (01:44:30):
Think I mean you can't. I mean, when it says
everyone uses it, you really have to use it or
you'll have other options to you. You may not find
near as attractive toilet paper toilet paper rolls, That's right,
which reminds me I just saw this come out. Sharman
just dropped its biggest role yet nationwide. You can literally

(01:44:54):
get a roll of toilet paper that will lasts up
to one month, seven sevent hundred sheets.

Speaker 2 (01:45:02):
Seventeen sheets, yes, so.

Speaker 1 (01:45:05):
That may that may take two trees to make that one.
So the true story just came out October the fifteenth,
Big news, Sharman just dropped the biggest roll of toilet
paper ever. Okay, let's let's see what they call it,
the Forever Role. It's available online and rolling into retailers

(01:45:26):
around the nation the first time here this part of
this month. Okay. They say less swapping, more going When
fully unrolled, the Forever roll even reaches the height of
the Washington Monument. Okay, and yeah right, And the Forever

(01:45:46):
Role offers a perfect fit for modern bathrooms looking to
elevate function and style. So just take if you want
to google the picture. Just google Sharman Forever roll toilet paper,
and you'll see how big that thing is.

Speaker 2 (01:45:59):
That sucker is mon stress, and they're suggesting to put
it in your modern bathroom.

Speaker 1 (01:46:09):
Sharman Forever, Sharman right, forever, roll toilet paper. That sucker
is gargantuan. That really is so so yeah, if you
can find the place to store it, that would be
the best part. So maybe maybe with young boys, that
wouldn't be a bad. Of course, if the cat gets
ahold of it, you're gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:46:30):
You're talking about young boys. One of them are going
to be the one to unroll that, like entire state
building worthy.

Speaker 1 (01:46:37):
That's right, that's right. So yeah, it's pretty it's pretty huge.
It's pretty huge. So definitely for the big poop, that's right.
If you have the big, big job, that's right. So well, Okay,
it was a pretty challenging week this week, but you
did pretty well. You did pretty well.

Speaker 2 (01:46:56):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:46:56):
Let me tell you what we got going. It's been
pretty didn't I did actually wasn't able to put out
a midweek bonus episode this week because they're just I mean,
there was some stupid stories that were out there, but
it wasn't the quality stupid stories that were used to
getting here, you know, So, I mean, yeah, I'm looking

(01:47:17):
for the high quality five star stupidity here, and so
I just there.

Speaker 2 (01:47:22):
Just wasn't something some kind of hole, that's right, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:47:30):
So, But but here's a few things that that you
got to look forward to coming up next. Next time,
we have a man and of course it had to
be a Florida man. We have a Florida man that
has a sign outside his door that says no drugs allowed.
But guess what he was busted for drug trafficking of course.

(01:47:51):
Of course. Yeah, And of course, moving on with our
whole theme of artificial intelligence, Starbucks could be the developing
AI baristas that predict coffee orders. Yeah, you have AI
barristas now possibly, And then I love this. I don't

(01:48:13):
know if you're a big fan of reality TV shows,
not at all. Well, a lot of people like to
follow these reality TV shows and a lot of people
are actually disqualified from being in these reality TV shows
thanks to STD tests. So all right, and here's something

(01:48:33):
if you really are feeling stressed, I know you said
you might have had a pretty stressful week. So if
you're really feeling stressed. You can now join a scream club.

Speaker 2 (01:48:44):
A scream club, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:48:47):
A scream club. You can just get together and scream,
Oh goodness, scream. Yeah, there's one that's in Washington, DC
that will be spotlighted next.

Speaker 2 (01:48:57):
Time I've got away, and kids that could do that
at well that's true, idding.

Speaker 1 (01:49:05):
Well yeah, well here, here here is one. Here's one
thing with AI. We have a Maryland with a Maryland student.
Thanks to an AI that was implemented in a high
school camera system, a Maryland student was handcuffed after the
AI mistook a bag of Dorito's for a gun. Imagine

(01:49:31):
your mind your own business, having a bag of Doritos
and you're brought to your knees and cuffed by the
cops thinking that you have a gun. So yeah, not
not a good way to start your week, all right.
And now here's one that is definitely your concealed carrying
your snacks.

Speaker 2 (01:49:47):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:49:48):
Well, here's one that's definitely stupid all the way. Here
we have many young adults that are barely literate, yet
they have earned a high school diploma.

Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
That I have seen, and it's yeah, it.

Speaker 1 (01:50:03):
Is very much all right. And we have stupidity in government,
with Democrats admitting to prolonging the government shutdown for leverage.

Speaker 2 (01:50:14):
Well, duh, this happens every year. There's no surprise.

Speaker 1 (01:50:17):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, but but at least now they're
saying it out loud on television, so you know. And
here's one we've got. And I don't know if this
has shown up in Florida yet, but we have one
high school teacher who is uncomfortable because many of their
students are showing up in class sucking on pacifiers. So

(01:50:40):
this is the new I guess, the stress reliever for
high school students. If they're stressed out they come to school.

Speaker 2 (01:50:50):
Like what, there's no way that that could be preferable.

Speaker 1 (01:50:53):
Oh, it's mainly girls, but there's a few guys that
have been coming in with pacifiers in high school.

Speaker 2 (01:50:59):
Yeah what what guy would be like? Oh? Yeah, you
know what that?

Speaker 1 (01:51:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:51:05):
I mean, is it some kind of like like innuendo
or something like this?

Speaker 1 (01:51:11):
This is this is real.

Speaker 2 (01:51:13):
That girl with the pacifier. I hear her tongue is pierced.

Speaker 15 (01:51:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, you're like, oh man, oh yeah, but no, no,
it's it's serious enough that even dentists are warning them
that they could have some serious dental problems that they
really continue this thing.

Speaker 1 (01:51:30):
So yeah, yep. So that's just a few things to
wet your whistle. So I'm sure hopefully within the next
week we'll have some others, which usually is the case
usually after you know, we record, then the real good
stuff comes later on. So but maybe we'll be lucky,
we'll find somebody that's stupid enough to put something up

(01:51:50):
a bodily orifice somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:51:52):
Oh if only we could be so lucky.

Speaker 1 (01:51:56):
Only So that's right. So well, uh, your new bike
riding adventures with the Little Pancho.

Speaker 2 (01:52:04):
Oh, thank you?

Speaker 1 (01:52:06):
