I'll tell you the details next.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
All right, we'll get to that in just a moment.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
I have not seen this, but speaking of kids, Kenny
sent me a video and says that I don't know
what it is. I picked up my daughter from daycare
today and she hasn't stopped saying this for hours.
Speaker 7 (01:08):
You guys have infected her. Let me see what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:13):

Speaker 7 (01:14):
What does she say? Hang on, say it again? Chicken dad,

If he can believe that hatched right out of the incubator.
Are you ready for these? Here we go, Shouzy you
rolls morning Glory.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Hurricane Melissa has re strengthened into a Category two hurricane
as it moves away from the Bahamas and heads northeast
toward Bermuda. The storm is already carved a huge trail
of destruction across the Caribbean.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
It just hammered Jamaica.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
It hit Cuba and all of the neighboring islands with awful,
torrential rain and powerful winds. Officials say Melissa has killed
at least thirty people, though the actual toll is uncertain
as authorities continue assessing the damage.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
In Cuba, they had flooding and.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
That's the most that's like their biggest concern right now,
and this is just hours after it slammed into the island. Meanwhile,
officials in Jamaica say catastrophic isn't even a strong enough
word to describe the scale of devastation in some of
the hardest hit areas.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
I heard a bunch of people like, think it was
in Cuba that died. A river just all over flooded,
swapt a bunch of people away. I think twenty people
were killed in that.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
So they say more than seventy percent. This is Jamaica.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
More than seventy percent of the country is without power,
and officials warned that repairing the infrastructure could take weeks,
if not longer. All right, the government shutdown is now
entered it's fifth week with no end in site. Democrats
and Republicans are stuck in their positions as important deadlines
get closer. Food assistants through SNAP for forty two million
(03:30):
Americans is set to run out on Saturday without more funding,
and on Tuesday of this week, twenty five states and Washington,
d C.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
They sued the.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Administration over plans to withhold SNAP benefits. So the Senate
failed for the thirteenth time to pass a Republican bill
to end the shutdown?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
How many?
Speaker 7 (03:51):
So there are forty two million? The SNAP is like
a food program.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I guess.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Forty two million people on that seems like an incredible number,
doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
How's that?
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Why are forty two million people in the United States
of America on food assistance? I mean, that's that's the
bigger problem. Obviously this government shutdown. They need to they
need that, they need to come to a resolution. But
what's going on where forty two million Americans need to
be on food assistance?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I don't think what are we doing wrong enough? Liverpol wages? Okay,
then we need to figure something out here. And you're
against raising minimum.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Wage because when you do that, it's what happens to
the price of everything.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It goes up, That's right, it goes up.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
And there is there fraud and abuse in this program
forty two million Americans.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
My wife thinks.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
That because a lot of people would find a way
to fudge the numbers.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Your wife, I won't be saying, lots of fun you guys.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Are you guys dependent on this stuff? It's the only
thing we don't get. We don't know anything get food assistance?
Have you ever gotten SNAP? Whatever? That is. Do you
know what that? Yeah, I know.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
It's it's basically food. It's the euphemism for food stamps.
Basically we got that when I got laid off on
sky Chefs in September two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I was out of work for seven months.
Speaker 8 (05:19):
We were on that for two months, and it eventually
when I started getting my unplayment.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Benefits, I was kicked off because.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
They said I was making too much money, and I said,
forget about it.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
We'll find a way to do it my way, you know.
That's that's part of I think what the issue is.
And I'm not an expert in this by any stretch,
but what happens is the more government assistance programs that
you put into place, the more dependent people become on them.
And it's and in many cases it's a disincentive to
actually go out and work and become a productive member
(05:49):
of society because you go, hold on, I can I
can get this stuff and all these payments and snap
and this that and the other for free.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
If I don't work, I work very very little. If
I go over some sort of threshold, then they cut
off all my payments and now I have to work,
and that kind of sucks. So I'm not saying everybody
is doing that, but I think but there are some.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
People that do do it, and you do it in
a fraudulent manner. It's not a pleasant life. We used
to be on food stamps, but you know, I'm glad
we're off of it. Sure, you know, it's it's not
a pleasant life.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
I did.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Oh, I didn't say it was, but I mean, I've
seen stories where people are I guess you can only
buy certain number of things or whatever, and certain kinds
of food or whatever, but people will sell their food
stamps for fifty cents on the dollar or something, you know.
So I I just it's a shocking number, that forty
(06:49):
two million. I'm marrying about ure on this.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
So two thirds of the people on SNAP are children, Okay,
the forty million adults over sixty and people with disabilities
who are not expected to work. So the other third,
which makes sense, the other third could still be people
working and they're just not making enough.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
See. But I also think, like, okay, if you're.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
If you're if you don't have any money for food,
why are you having four kids?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It's like somebody should go hey, let's yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
But that's not how the real ruld.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You can sit in here a little bubble, but it
doesn't help.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
It should work, but it doesn't. You can't afford food.
Let me stop creating mouths to feed. I'm just just
a suggestion.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Doesn't work like that. So we're not supposed to help
people because they have kids.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Know I've said this numerous times. I'm all for helping people.
I sounds like it. I want to give them a
hand up, not a handout, as they say, go on annoying.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
A North Carolina father called nine one one Monday night
and told the operator that he had killed his children.
We told you this story earlier this week, didn't have
a lot of details.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
This is maybe Tuesday when he told you the story.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
When deputies arrived at his home, his name is he
gets Wellington Delano Dickens the third and Dickens, thirty eight
years old, told the cops that his three year old
son was alive inside the house. Authorities learn that Dickens
had killed the children separately over five months.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Oh my god, you're kidding.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yes, his six year old daughter was killed in May,
his nine year old daughter was killed in August, and
then his ten year old son was killed between August September,
and then his eighteen year old step son was killed
in September.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
All four children were homeschooled, and.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Deputies said that family members had tried numerous times to
contact the children, but they never got any response. The
house smelled of decomposition, the house showed signs that someone
had tried to clean it all up.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And it Yeah, that's wow, that's that's horrendous.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
So he is being charged with four counts of murder.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Yes, I like this guy's comment. Who cares if SNAP
is abused? If it gets to the people who need it,
that's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Really.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
So if you have unemployment benefits and that's abused that
you don't care. If you had COVID handouts and you
have people collecting, you know, creating fake businesses so that
they can collect millions of dollars in COVID relief money,
but who cares as long as it gets to the
people that need it. Well, some of it gets to
(09:34):
the people that need that's ridiculous.
Speaker 10 (09:36):
A lot of those people also sell their food stamps
for cash, and they'll sell you one hundred dollars worth
of food stamps for fifty Bucks accents on.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
The dollar as they say, yes, all right, go on.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
There's standard time returns on Sunday when we fall back.
Just a reminder clocks or step back one hour at
two am, meaning we gain an hour and more light
in the morning.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
But it's going to get darker earlier.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Just a reminder, we're going to change our clocks over
the weekend. It is only Thursday, but I'll remind you
again tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
The World Series. Did you watch any of that?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Hey, I watched.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I had the game on in the background yesterday as
I was doing some stuff around the house, and so
I was just was not a real exciting game.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Last night jas Blue Jays six to one win over
the Dodgers, so they now lead the series three to two.
Game six takes place Friday in Toronto.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And I guess we talked about it yesterday.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
I'm sure somebody told me yesterday, but I didn't see
it in the text messages.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I'm like, what do they do? Two three one one?
But no, it's two three two. I guess.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
So Toronto has the home field advantage, so they do
first two games there, three games in Los Angeles, and
then the last two games in Toronto. So it's going
to be a tall order. The Dodgers are going to have.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
To in Toronto too, in their hometown.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, so they're going to have momentum of the crowd
going into that in their upper series, so that'll be
interesting to watch. And then tonight we have the Miami
Dolphins hosting the Baltimore Ravens for Thursday Night football.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
There you got, that's the Hizzy on Rovers Morning Glory.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So much good you'll want to bend over and kiss
our ass watch.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Live right there on You're stupid, smart boat.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Just search for Roberts Morning Glory in the.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
App Store or Google Play.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yeah, I thought that I thought Los Angeles would win this,
but well, I know I'm not an expert in sports
by any stretch of the imagination, but I know they
last year they did they want and disfigured with this
Olcani guy, they would but.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
He didn't really do much yesterday.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
And again I wasn't paying close attention, so maybe I
missed some stuff, but I didn't really see him do
much from what I paid attention to yesterday.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Mike heron Rover's Warning Glory Your morning, Mike Corny Rover, Hey,
what's happening.
Speaker 11 (12:07):
I'm calling in.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Go ahead, no, go ahead, the floor is yours.
Speaker 12 (12:14):
So I'm calling in regarding the snap benefits and discussions
of wasting fraud on that program. Yes, So about fifteen
years ago, I checked into Recovery as indigent, no job,
no nothing, into a inpatient facility, okay, And this inpatient facility,
what they would do was immediately sign you up for
(12:36):
food stamps and they claim that cost would cover.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Your food for why you were there.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
Kind of questionable morally.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Right off the bat, but what but whatever.
Speaker 12 (12:50):
So then during the course of staying there, I stayed
there nine months, I did the inpatient program, then stayed
for what they call, uh like halfway housing where you
go you start to work. During the course of the
time that I was working and earning money, they were
supposed to pull me off of the food stamps and
stop collecting that. I found out later after I left
(13:13):
that they collected those food stamps for nine months.
Speaker 9 (13:16):
After I exited after.
Speaker 12 (13:17):
My nine month period period, eighteen months they collected no
not kidding.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Yeah, anything like this. Where and look, any large government program,
there's going to be fraud, there's going to be waste.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
And that's what I thought that DOGE was, you know,
supposed to kind of fix some of these things, whether
it's Medicare payments, medicaid whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You know, there's that's really rife with fraud too.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
A lot of doctors are scamming the system there, and
so I was hopeful that maybe they could cut out
some of that fraud and waste. But they went a
little bit off track with all of that stuff. But
and is now what is this impatient thing that you
were in? What kind of program is that?
Speaker 12 (14:04):
It was a rehab facility from everything from alcohol to
hard drugs.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You were in there for nine months? Nine months? Yes,
Oh my god, that sounds like prison.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
If you need help, oh.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
He must have.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
If you're in there for nine months, what were you
doing like just every drug known to man? Or how
did you end up in there for nine months?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Well, you know, as as.
Speaker 12 (14:32):
An addict, my choice making was obviously poor, and this
facility helped me to correct that and give me a
little humility and understand that I need help making choices.
I need to understand that nine times out of ten
I make the wrong choice as my first choice.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
So so you think that this did work because I
know a lot of people that go into rehab and
sometimes it doesn't always work, and it's tough, man, it's
it's uh, if you're addicted to something like that. So
you went in there for nine months, nine long months,
and you came out and you've been cleaned since and
you've been all right.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Yes, sir, Wow, good for you. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
All right, well, Mike, good job, thank you. I appreciate it.
Somebody says, look up the Brad Paisley World Series stats.
Every time he sings the national anthem, the World Series
goes into extra innings.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
How many times does that happen? Twice?
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I believe No.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I think it's like four or five. If it's four
or five, that's insane. If it's twice, you can find
it yesterday and I was like, well, that's weird.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I think it's there. It is two.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Here you go.
Speaker 13 (15:42):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
World Series Game two and twenty seventeen. That came one
eleven innings, World Series Game three and twenty eighteen eighteen innings,
World Series Game one and twenty twenty four ten innings,
World Series Game three, twenty twenty five eighteen innings.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Yeah, twice, he's gone to eighteen all right.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So that's a lot. Here's my question.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Has he sang the national anthem any other times in
that period of time at the World Series or they
did not go into extra innings. If those were the
four times that he sang it at the World Series
and every time he sings it they go into.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Extra innings, that is one hell of a coincidence.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Now if he's done it four other times that are
not listed on there, then you go, okay, still even that,
I mean, it's rare.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
That the World Series goes into extra innings, So even
if it was fifty percent of the time, that's still
a statistic.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Dan you Ron Rover's Morning Glory. Good morning Dan, Hey Rover.
Speaker 13 (16:40):
I just wanted to let you know about those the
snap benefits stuff too. I sort of have a couple
friends that are store owners, I guess you could say
convenience store owners.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Okay, and.
Speaker 13 (16:53):
The wife won't work. She'll collect benefits and you'll see
them in the stores like Marks and stuff like that,
where they're bulking up on ten gallons of milk. I mean,
nobody's drinking ten gallons of milk in a month, you know,
so and then that all goes to the convenience store
(17:15):
and they're selling stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Wait a second.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
See what you're telling me is that convenience store owners.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Will get their relatives on We'll get their relatives on this,
and then their wife or whoever they'll collect benefits go
and buy a bunch of stuff that they can then
resell because now they've got stock that didn't cost them anything,
and they resell those gallons of milk basically for a profit,
is what you're telling me.
Speaker 13 (17:43):
And I've actually seen them in the store and they
walk out to the car and they're getting in Mercedes.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
How do they not know you're married though, don't you?
Speaker 6 (17:53):
File is maybe maybe that's a different Yeah, who knows,
Maybe they're maybe they're only married in Sharia, lar or something.
Speaker 13 (18:04):
Watch the next time you're in the store. What's that
I said? Just watch the next time you're in the store. Okay,
I think you kind of see what happens out there.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
All right, Dan, thank you, I appreciate it. I've gotta
take a break. Eight sixty six. Your rover is our number.
Eight six six nine sixty seven six eighty three seven.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Will be right back. Hang on.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
If you're waking up listening to RMG right now, and
you're laying next to a hideous beast.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Judge Dougie and tell her she's gonna be laid for work.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Can you go?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Welcome back to Roper's Morning Glory.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Pumping iron Man says that guy's wrong. I'm down three
or four gallons of milk a week. Some people do
drink that much. I never buy ten at a time, though,
usually just three. This guy writes, that's a lot of milk,
and Tony and Rochester says those it's not really the
way that the convenience store snap scam.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Works or EBT or whatever the hell is called.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
They buy the food stamps from their customers for fifty
cents on the dollar.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
They give them cash.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Then they take the customer's card to the grocery store,
stock up on items like milk that are quick sellers
in their convenience store, and they mark up the price doubles.
They make a huge profit off of it. Michael and Michigan,
you're on Rover's Morning Glory. Good morning, Michael, Good.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Morning from Traverse City.
Speaker 11 (19:52):
Rover.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm doing all right? What's happening? Good? Hey?
Speaker 9 (19:57):
Well, I don't know about in Ohio but in Michigan
and other states, we have a ten cent deposit on cans.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Uh huh.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
So what they'll do is they'll go into the grocery store.
They'll buy like one hundred dollars worth of soda. They
take it right into the bottle return room, start opening
up and just pouring the soda down the grain, and
then return the cans for cash. And you know who
I'm talking about. You know who you're talking about, the savages,
(20:26):
the usual suspects.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I mean, you won't say it, but well let's I'll
let you say. What do you mean? Who do you get?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
What?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
You know?
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Don't beat around the bush the black Oh, the blacks.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
It's awful that you're saying that blacks are doing it.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
All right, A good one, dude, the only people besides
the blacks or the Jews. All right, So this guy
is not a sam No, not.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I would say.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
I think that would be an understatement there By the way,
I did see a video of It's funny that he
brings that up because I saw a video. It was
not black people doing it. It was white people doing
it in I want to say it was in Portland. Yeah,
and they were pouring out water, not coke. They were
(21:21):
pouring out I thought it was water.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
Water bottles yea, and recycling them for money. Yeah, And
those were yeah, white people in that video, and they.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Were just they would go in I guess they would
get their food stamps and they'd get a palette of
bottled water, and then they would go out in the
parking lot and literally just dump the water out of
the bottles of water, open them all up, dump them out,
and then they'd have these plastic bottles that I guess
we're getting some sort of deposit or something.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'm not sure exactly how it works or what they
were doing, but I look, I.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
I don't know what what the rate of fraud is.
It's probably not super high. But look, some people need
the assistance. I'm not I'm not heartless over here.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
And those people, unfortunately, because this government shutdown, are going
to be in.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
A real mind in a couple of days.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
So the people who actually need it, they need to
get this solved, this government shutdown thing.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
People were really upset with the President's wife for what
because she had this beautiful display of pumpkins at the
White House for Halloween. Mm hmm, beautiful, and people were like, whoa,
we're going to be hungry in.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Two days off race? You're talking about?
Speaker 7 (22:46):
These are the these Yeah, we're going to eat the
guts of a pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Is that what you were going to do?
Speaker 6 (22:50):
And these are people who are anybody who's complaining about that.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
These are the same.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
People that have a Netflix account, the Paramount plus account,
a Hulu account, Disney Plus. They have everything and there
this is what you're complaining about. These pumpkins at the
White House.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Looks beautiful, nobody's good.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Nobody eats these pumpkins.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Stop worrying about decorating with pumpkins, Sorry about feeding people.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
You put a pumpkin over that person's head. Shut up,
feel bad? Anonymous, you're on Rover's Morning Glory. Good morning, Anonymous, Yes.
Speaker 14 (23:23):
Good morning. I was calling in regards to some of
these phone calls you're receiving this morning.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
I was employed as a Social.
Speaker 14 (23:32):
Services brought investigator for seven years, so I thought maybe
I could clear a few things up.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
One, let me ask you, hold on wait a second,
let me ask you, so who when you're employed for that?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Who employs you? Is that the state county?
Speaker 11 (23:47):
Like I worked in New York.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I was.
Speaker 14 (23:53):
Employed by my local county. I will tell you that
every county in New York has.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Such a thing.
Speaker 14 (23:58):
There's actually an organized called Nightwithia New York Welfare Fraud
and Investigators Association.
Speaker 11 (24:05):
Black people don't even know that that exists.
Speaker 14 (24:07):
You can contact your local county and report these cases
of fraud.
Speaker 11 (24:13):
You know, it's not well known that you can do that.
Speaker 14 (24:15):
But the great majority of cases that we would get
for fraud is information from the public. We didn't just
walk across somebody committing welfare fraud. It just doesn't happen
that way. There is phone numbers, people to calls, people
to speak with. You can report anonymous.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
It can be done.
Speaker 11 (24:34):
The resources are out there now spread.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Or is it just a small number of people that
are ripping off the systems?
Speaker 14 (24:41):
Small number of people now me specifically, unfortunately every day
I showed up for work, that was my job.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
But it is very small.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
Over half the people we have are that me specifically.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 14 (24:54):
I want to make it too broad up a statement.
Are elderly and children, you know, these aren't the people
coming in and applying for these services.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
It's not them. It's the adults now as.
Speaker 14 (25:04):
Far as fraud, it was.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
It's a small number.
Speaker 14 (25:08):
It's just those are the ones that stick out to people,
I feel, because they see oh so and sos at
Walmart buying all these groceries, and that's what sticks out.
But you don't see the other ninety five percent of
people that are single mothers that are working for an
EXTRAUS forty dollars a week at a you know, trying
(25:28):
to work better, are struggling, and that's.
Speaker 11 (25:30):
What these services are for.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
It's just the fraud.
Speaker 11 (25:33):
Sticks out in the mind because people.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
Think, oh, I'm being.
Speaker 14 (25:37):
Ripped off of my tax dollars and I'm I can't
What happens if you get busted for the fraud.
Speaker 7 (25:43):
Is there a serious penalty or is it a slap
on the wrist.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
There is.
Speaker 14 (25:49):
So the one of the options is they can take
away from your monthly benefit.
Speaker 11 (25:55):
You know, uh, well you take.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Your benefit away if you're.
Speaker 14 (25:59):
Committing they can so in cases not that's if they
find you're.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
Making more money essentially than you're claiming, you know.
Speaker 14 (26:09):
What I mean, so you don't need as much. Not
simply selling your benefits stuff like that, you can be
charged criminally. It is a chargeable offense. I believe it's
been a while since I've been there, but it does
fall on.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
It can fall into a felony type of criminal charge. Sure.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
I here's somebody that says, when I was with my ex,
I used to buy snap cards from drug addicts for
fifty percent off.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It sounds like that's a fairly common thing.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
And then Amber says this is different, but she says,
I used to manage a section eight family property. The
amount of people that abuse benefits is unreal. Single women
with kids, their hair done, nails down, lashes on designer clothes,
expensive bags, and all of that. So yeah, I mean, look,
people's priorities. I guess a look, if you give people a.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Handout, and I'm all for helping people, don't get me wrong.
People will say things about Jeffrey and they'll say, oh,
how come this, and how come Jeffrey needs a hand Okay,
he's I don't have any issue with Jeffrey and his
family getting benefits and us paying for stuff. And it
is the people who What I think is the more
(27:19):
free stuff you give people, the more likely they are
to just go, oh, I can get this free stuff
and then continue to get my nails done, my lashes
done and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 14 (27:29):
And of course, and you're going to have that. Of course,
you're talking about forty million people. You can't expect forty
million to follow rules. So we can't get people to
not speed on a highway. You can't just put a
rule and just say you don't do that. And people say,
of course, there's a way to scam around everything. But
out of forty million people, let's this is a apathetical number.
(27:53):
I don't have any statistics in front of me. I
will say four million people are scamming. There's ten million
that are trying to work a crap job, that are
just barely making it, and they say, man, I'm making
eighty dollars a week too much. It's easier for me
to just quit my job and get a handout, then
go to work thirty hours a week, find a babysitter
for my kids, and have less benefits. It's a blanket system.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
That's the problem.
Speaker 14 (28:20):
It's trying to help forty million people at once. It's
pretty hard to do. But I wanted to reiterate that
you can reach out. There are eight hundred numbers. There's
a lot of things that you can do and it
really relies on help from the public. When you see something,
to report something.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Say something, say something, all right, anonymous, thank you, I
appreciate it. Geese's mom says, I used to buy snap
from people all the time.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It's very common.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
So people always come up with a way to abuse
the system.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Speaking of a I don't know if it's abuse of
the system. I guess it's not. It's her money. I'll
tell you a story about it.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Somebody who left a big amount of money too.
Speaker 14 (29:04):
Well.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
People are a little upset at the way that this
person left a large inheritance. And I'll tell you about
that in just a minute. But first, it's happened again.
There's a story in Orlando. This was at the Sea World,
or Orlando where a woman and I say, it's happened again,
because remember it happened to Fabio. I think it was
(29:27):
at six Flags Magic Mountain. I could be wrong. He
was on a roller coaster many many years ago and
a goose was flying and the roller coaster hit Fabio
right in the head.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Yeah, there's a picture of it everywhere.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
And the people him.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Look at the people behind him where they're covered in
goose blood. Do you see that yes, and this woman
is like oh.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
She's smiling.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
She's like oh, And Fabio has a broken nose, blood
all over the place. I don't know what he was
doing on this roller coaster. There's supposed to have been
some sort of right, but I don't think he was
just riding it.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
It must have been some sort of promo thing or whatever.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
But he famously was riding a roller coaster and a
goose hit him in the head broke his nose.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
The same thing happened to a woman at SeaWorld in Orlando,
but she was riding the Maco roller coaster. It wasn't
a goose, it was a duck flew into the path
of the roller coaster, hit her right in the face,
knocked her unconscious.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
She says, she's.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Sewing seeing She's sewing SeaWorld, which is weird because how
are they going to control a duck. She claims in
her lawsuit that SeaWorld failed to keep its premises in
a reasonably safe condition, and also that it did not
warn visitors about any dangerous conditions at the park.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
They say that SeaWorld.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Her lawsuit says SeaWorld created a zone of danger for
bird strikes by operating a high speed roller coaster near
a body of water, and that the ride disoriented waterfowl,
which increased the risk of collision. They should throw this
lawsuit out right away.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
They'll probably just pay her.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
No.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
No, if I were SeaWorld, I would fight this tooth
and nail. I'd say, Okay, I could pay this woman
one hundred thousand dollars, pay and settle this case and
be done with it. Or I could spend two hundred
thousand dollars in legal fees. Sure it would cost me
one hundred thousand dollars more, But just on principle of
(31:34):
the thing, you can't let somebody extort you like this.
How was SeaWorld supposed to stop a duck from flying
through the air. It was just a It's a one
in a million shot that you were on this roller
coaster and a duck flew by, and you whacked the
duck and it knocked the unconscious. I mean, I don't
know what SeaWorld or anybody is supposed to do.
Speaker 10 (31:57):
I bet they have fine print on the back of
their ticket that says something along those lines. If anything
happens to you while in the park, They're not liable
even if you die.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Yeah, they can put whatever they want on the back
of the ticket. But if they are negligent and they
do something that causes your death, they can put whatever
they want. You can't just put a disclaimer and absolve
yourself of all responsibility. But in this particular case, I
(32:28):
don't know how a SeaWorld is supposed to stop birds
from flying.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
In the air. What are they going to put like
a dome over SeaWorld or something.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
And birds got into my while ago, into my father
in law's garage, Like he has this big garage. They
call it a carriage house. They don't call it that,
but that's what it is.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
See, for some reason, when you go to the town
and get it zoned or whatever in that zone, what's
the thing you have to do, Like you have to
get a permit to build something. They go, yeah, you
can't build a garage in this township. It has to
be a carriage house. I guess it sounds fancier or something.
I guess a carriage house.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
Anyway, does it look like something like this, Like I'm trying,
I've never seen a Is this like a garage carriage
house thing?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah, it's even bigger than that. I mean, it's the
thing's huge.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
And what is it is it just uses as a
garage or is there like a living quarters in there?
Speaker 6 (33:29):
There is there on the second floor. It's two stories.
Oh nice, Yeah, I mean it's it's pretty wild. It's
a it's a but the whole garage, I mean they
must have a.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
I don't know four.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
I guess it has two two car garage things, so
four garage spaces.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I guess you could say, you know, and then you
go upstairs.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
Anyways, they left the garage door open one day and
birds got in there, one or two birds, and then
I guess maybe they closed the garage door and then
didn't think, you know, they didn't know that birds got
in there the next day just bird poop and feathers
just all over the inside of this garage, just everyway,
(34:13):
just poop.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
How do you get them out? I guess bring your
cat over. I don't know how they got the birds
out of there. And then and then they I told
you this story read maybe a month or two ago
where I went over there. I had to get the
what was it a groundhog out of the garage.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
They got to.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
Stop leaving the garage door open because ground a groundhog
got in there.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
It took me an hour to get the groundhog out.
Speaker 7 (34:37):
Yesterday, I was sitting out, I was sitting inside, and
Christa took the dog outside, and then I hear a
scream and hear I was almost murdered.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Oh my god, I was almost just murdered from my girlfriend.
So then you went and you hid under the bed
and said, okay.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I'm next. She was just in the way. That's that
was the ways the plan.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
She gets in the way and slows the guy down,
and then afterwards I'm gone, sure, yes, she.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Screams and and uh.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
You immediately you think, oh my god, well I guess
I guess.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I would have a long time ago. But once you
started getting used to say I murder, I'm murdered, you're skeptical.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
If he's the l I'm murdered. I kind of have
an idea that you're not dead. So I go outside,
like what, And then she's like, I love your tone
of voice too.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
She's like, oh my god, help, I'm being murdered. And
Charlie goes out what.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
I go out there and there's a pumpkin about this
big on the ground.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Apple like shigne of a little mini basketball, like a
souvenir mini basketball.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
Okay, i'd say in between a mini basketball and an apple,
And I go what and she goes, this just drop
from the sky and almost hit me in the head,
and I was like, what.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I think? So I look up and there is like
some branches above us.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
So I'm like, either a squirrel stolen a mini pumpkin
and was trying to bring it up to his layer
up there or whatever, or a bird was flying by.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
I dropped the pumpkin on my girlfriend's head, almost hit her.
How did that?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
That is?
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Really it's weird because I go in.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
The branches that are above are really like small week
not a place where I think a squirrel would be
hanging on on the ends of.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Let's see. You know, I don't know where this pumpkin
came from.
Speaker 7 (36:23):
Well, my mother in law did almost I saw her
about a week ago and she had a similar thing
I Charlie was. She was almost killed on the walking
path around the house, almost killed when a tree branch
fell and almost hit her in the head and kill scary. Yeah,
So I don't know if it was really that close
(36:44):
or if this is an exaggeration or something, you know,
like you hear about tree branches flying in people, I
feel like I would hear it, start hearing some major creaking, going, Okay,
I should get out of the way because I hear
some don't look it's it's going to just snap and fall.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
But the other thing is if if like there's all
these trees behind my house, and if at the end
of my yard and big, huge, massive trees, and those
trees are constantly creaking, like.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Notice, okay, like it's really.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
Actually pretty loud because they're so I couldn't even tell
you how tall these trees are, but they're super super tall.
There's also dead ones back there, so they're still standing.
And these things have got to be I don't know,
at least one hundred feet. They're huge, so they're dead.
They're completely dead. But it's not on my property. And
(37:39):
I go, what do I do here?
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (37:42):
I don't want to, like it's a big to go
down there and chop down it.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
Like these trees are absolutely enormous. I don't know how
you could even get it to fall what way you want?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
There? Totally huge?
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Am I going to go back there and try to
chop down a good tree so it doesn't fall on me.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Later company to do it. It's not my property. Why
am I going to pay the well.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Whoever's property it is, and say, yo, you got it?
This is a I don't care what if it falls
on their house.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
It could fall there's no there's no houses back there,
it's just trees. And even my my house is far
away from where these trees are, so even if one
of these giant trees fell over, it wouldn't hit my house.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
But people walk back there.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
There's like a little walking trail, and so if it fell,
it would crush you anyway. So thankfully my mother in
law alive, Charlie's girlfriend barely barely.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Video of the pumpkin here, if we're going to see.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
These chairs right in the sun, So I wanted to
move it a little bit more under the.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
And this freaking pumpkin.
Speaker 13 (38:56):
Like this.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
Who murdered me?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Exercise? That's the size of an apple, that's.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
It and dropped it on me. I don't know who
to blame.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
Anyway, So we don't know what they sabotaged. Wild wash.
That's a mini basketball right there.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Oh no, it's not that big. No, no, not that nugget.
It's the size of a tennis ball, basically way off airball.
Speaker 6 (39:26):
Oh, I was just going to tell you this story
about somebody leaving a bunch of money and people are upset,
you know, they they died, they left a bunch of
money to somebody.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Josh he Ron Rover's Morning Glory, Good morning, Josh. Hey,
what's happening?
Speaker 15 (39:43):
So I had a story about a rollercoaster and bird incident.
We were me and my brother went to uh to
your point two years ago and we were on went up,
came down the first hill, and we're going up the
second hill, and a sparrow came flying across hit him rating.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
The proof as we were going down, people.
Speaker 15 (40:01):
Around us seeing it happening, and we got done. You
could still see the imprint of the feathers on her
through like when.
Speaker 11 (40:09):
We were done. Didn't we didn't try to do anything
about it, and it was just a natural, you know,
it just happened.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Yeah, but killed the bird, I'm sure probably, And I
would imagine hit him right.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
And they throw Yeah that did with with Whenever you
bring up Fabio or whatever his name is, That's the
first thing that I think of, just reading that goose.
He wasn't hit by the goose. The goose hit something else.
He just got blood on him. That I heard crazy investigation.
We broke the goose hit a camera, he had to
(40:43):
get something, something flew off some peace and he had
to get three stitches or even he's even maybe saying
one stitch. It didn't even hit him.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
What is that him changing the story.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
So we know that it was an investigation. I'm not
sure when that was.
Speaker 7 (40:57):
We all thought he got hit in the head with
We got well forever thought he got hit in the
head with a goose.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
He did not. I watched the documentary I got three
partner on Netflix.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
That's next. I mean an investigation. Huh, All right, Leslie,

Was walking across that little bridge with a little stream there,
and that big duck came and hit me in the face,
knocked me to the ground, broke my glasses, cut my face,
got stuff all over my face, and everybody just walked

I'll tell you the details next.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
All right, we'll get to that in just a moment.
Speaker 6 (00:55):

Are you ready for these? Here we go, Shouzy you
rolls morning Glory.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Hurricane Melissa has re strengthened into a Category two hurricane
as it moves away from the Bahamas and heads northeast
toward Bermuda. The storm is already carved a huge trail
of destruction across the Caribbean.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
It just hammered Jamaica.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
It hit Cuba and all of the neighboring islands with awful,
torrential rain and powerful winds. Officials say Melissa has killed
at least thirty people, though the actual toll is uncertain
as authorities continue assessing the damage.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
In Cuba, they had flooding and.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
That's the most that's like their biggest concern right now,
and this is just hours after it slammed into the island. Meanwhile,
officials in Jamaica say catastrophic isn't even a strong enough
word to describe the scale of devastation in some of
the hardest hit areas.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
I heard a bunch of people like, think it was
in Cuba that died. A river just all over flooded,
swapt a bunch of people away. I think twenty people
were killed in that.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
So they say more than seventy percent. This is Jamaica.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
More than seventy percent of the country is without power,
and officials warned that repairing the infrastructure could take weeks,
if not longer. All right, the government shutdown is now
entered it's fifth week with no end in site. Democrats
and Republicans are stuck in their positions as important deadlines
get closer. Food assistants through SNAP for forty two million
(03:30):
Americans is set to run out on Saturday without more funding,
and on Tuesday of this week, twenty five states and Washington,
d C.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
They sued the.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Administration over plans to withhold SNAP benefits. So the Senate
failed for the thirteenth time to pass a Republican bill
to end the shutdown?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
How many?
Speaker 7 (03:51):
So there are forty two million? The SNAP is like
a food program.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I guess.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Forty two million people on that seems like an incredible number,
doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
How's that?
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Why are forty two million people in the United States
of America on food assistance? I mean, that's that's the
bigger problem. Obviously this government shutdown. They need to they
need that, they need to come to a resolution. But
what's going on where forty two million Americans need to
be on food assistance?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I don't think what are we doing wrong enough? Liverpol wages? Okay,
then we need to figure something out here. And you're
against raising minimum.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Wage because when you do that, it's what happens to
the price of everything.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It goes up, That's right, it goes up.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
And there is there fraud and abuse in this program
forty two million Americans.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
My wife thinks.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
That because a lot of people would find a way
to fudge the numbers.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Your wife, I won't be saying, lots of fun you guys.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Are you guys dependent on this stuff? It's the only
thing we don't get. We don't know anything get food assistance?
Have you ever gotten SNAP? Whatever? That is. Do you
know what that? Yeah, I know.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
It's it's basically food. It's the euphemism for food stamps.
Basically we got that when I got laid off on
sky Chefs in September two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I was out of work for seven months.
Speaker 8 (05:19):
We were on that for two months, and it eventually
when I started getting my unplayment.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Benefits, I was kicked off because.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
They said I was making too much money, and I said,
forget about it.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
We'll find a way to do it my way, you know.
That's that's part of I think what the issue is.
And I'm not an expert in this by any stretch,
but what happens is the more government assistance programs that
you put into place, the more dependent people become on them.
And it's and in many cases it's a disincentive to
actually go out and work and become a productive member
(05:49):
of society because you go, hold on, I can I
can get this stuff and all these payments and snap
and this that and the other for free.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
If I don't work, I work very very little. If
I go over some sort of threshold, then they cut
off all my payments and now I have to work,
and that kind of sucks. So I'm not saying everybody
is doing that, but I think but there are some.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
People that do do it, and you do it in
a fraudulent manner. It's not a pleasant life. We used
to be on food stamps, but you know, I'm glad
we're off of it. Sure, you know, it's it's not
a pleasant life.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
I did.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Oh, I didn't say it was, but I mean, I've
seen stories where people are I guess you can only
buy certain number of things or whatever, and certain kinds
of food or whatever, but people will sell their food
stamps for fifty cents on the dollar or something, you know.
So I I just it's a shocking number, that forty
(06:49):
two million. I'm marrying about ure on this.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
So two thirds of the people on SNAP are children, Okay,
the forty million adults over sixty and people with disabilities
who are not expected to work. So the other third,
which makes sense, the other third could still be people
working and they're just not making enough.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
See. But I also think, like, okay, if you're.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
If you're if you don't have any money for food,
why are you having four kids?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It's like somebody should go hey, let's yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
But that's not how the real ruld.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You can sit in here a little bubble, but it
doesn't help.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
It should work, but it doesn't. You can't afford food.
Let me stop creating mouths to feed. I'm just just
a suggestion.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Doesn't work like that. So we're not supposed to help
people because they have kids.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Know I've said this numerous times. I'm all for helping people.
I sounds like it. I want to give them a
hand up, not a handout, as they say, go on annoying.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
A North Carolina father called nine one one Monday night
and told the operator that he had killed his children.
We told you this story earlier this week, didn't have
a lot of details.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
This is maybe Tuesday when he told you the story.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
When deputies arrived at his home, his name is he
gets Wellington Delano Dickens the third and Dickens, thirty eight
years old, told the cops that his three year old
son was alive inside the house. Authorities learn that Dickens
had killed the children separately over five months.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Oh my god, you're kidding.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yes, his six year old daughter was killed in May,
his nine year old daughter was killed in August, and
then his ten year old son was killed between August September,
and then his eighteen year old step son was killed
in September.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
All four children were homeschooled, and.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Deputies said that family members had tried numerous times to
contact the children, but they never got any response. The
house smelled of decomposition, the house showed signs that someone
had tried to clean it all up.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And it Yeah, that's wow, that's that's horrendous.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
So he is being charged with four counts of murder.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Yes, I like this guy's comment. Who cares if SNAP
is abused? If it gets to the people who need it,
that's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Really.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
So if you have unemployment benefits and that's abused that
you don't care. If you had COVID handouts and you
have people collecting, you know, creating fake businesses so that
they can collect millions of dollars in COVID relief money,
but who cares as long as it gets to the
people that need it. Well, some of it gets to
(09:34):
the people that need that's ridiculous.
Speaker 10 (09:36):
A lot of those people also sell their food stamps
for cash, and they'll sell you one hundred dollars worth
of food stamps for fifty Bucks accents on.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
The dollar as they say, yes, all right, go on.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
There's standard time returns on Sunday when we fall back.
Just a reminder clocks or step back one hour at
two am, meaning we gain an hour and more light
in the morning.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
But it's going to get darker earlier.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Just a reminder, we're going to change our clocks over
the weekend. It is only Thursday, but I'll remind you
again tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
The World Series. Did you watch any of that?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Hey, I watched.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I had the game on in the background yesterday as
I was doing some stuff around the house, and so
I was just was not a real exciting game.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Last night jas Blue Jays six to one win over
the Dodgers, so they now lead the series three to two.
Game six takes place Friday in Toronto.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And I guess we talked about it yesterday.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
I'm sure somebody told me yesterday, but I didn't see
it in the text messages.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I'm like, what do they do? Two three one one?
But no, it's two three two. I guess.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
So Toronto has the home field advantage, so they do
first two games there, three games in Los Angeles, and
then the last two games in Toronto. So it's going
to be a tall order. The Dodgers are going to have.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
To in Toronto too, in their hometown.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, so they're going to have momentum of the crowd
going into that in their upper series, so that'll be
interesting to watch. And then tonight we have the Miami
Dolphins hosting the Baltimore Ravens for Thursday Night football.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
There you got, that's the Hizzy on Rovers Morning Glory.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So much good you'll want to bend over and kiss
our ass watch.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Live right there on You're stupid, smart boat.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Just search for Roberts Morning Glory in the.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
App Store or Google Play.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yeah, I thought that I thought Los Angeles would win this,
but well, I know I'm not an expert in sports
by any stretch of the imagination, but I know they
last year they did they want and disfigured with this
Olcani guy, they would but.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
He didn't really do much yesterday.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
And again I wasn't paying close attention, so maybe I
missed some stuff, but I didn't really see him do
much from what I paid attention to yesterday.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Mike heron Rover's Warning Glory Your morning, Mike Corny Rover, Hey,
what's happening.
Speaker 11 (12:07):
I'm calling in.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Go ahead, no, go ahead, the floor is yours.
Speaker 12 (12:14):
So I'm calling in regarding the snap benefits and discussions
of wasting fraud on that program. Yes, So about fifteen
years ago, I checked into Recovery as indigent, no job,
no nothing, into a inpatient facility, okay, And this inpatient facility,
what they would do was immediately sign you up for
(12:36):
food stamps and they claim that cost would cover.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Your food for why you were there.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
Kind of questionable morally.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Right off the bat, but what but whatever.
Speaker 12 (12:50):
So then during the course of staying there, I stayed
there nine months, I did the inpatient program, then stayed
for what they call, uh like halfway housing where you
go you start to work. During the course of the
time that I was working and earning money, they were
supposed to pull me off of the food stamps and
stop collecting that. I found out later after I left
(13:13):
that they collected those food stamps for nine months.
Speaker 9 (13:16):
After I exited after.
Speaker 12 (13:17):
My nine month period period, eighteen months they collected no
not kidding.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Yeah, anything like this. Where and look, any large government program,
there's going to be fraud, there's going to be waste.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
And that's what I thought that DOGE was, you know,
supposed to kind of fix some of these things, whether
it's Medicare payments, medicaid whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You know, there's that's really rife with fraud too.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
A lot of doctors are scamming the system there, and
so I was hopeful that maybe they could cut out
some of that fraud and waste. But they went a
little bit off track with all of that stuff. But
and is now what is this impatient thing that you
were in? What kind of program is that?
Speaker 12 (14:04):
It was a rehab facility from everything from alcohol to
hard drugs.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You were in there for nine months? Nine months? Yes,
Oh my god, that sounds like prison.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
If you need help, oh.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
He must have.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
If you're in there for nine months, what were you
doing like just every drug known to man? Or how
did you end up in there for nine months?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Well, you know, as as.
Speaker 12 (14:32):
An addict, my choice making was obviously poor, and this
facility helped me to correct that and give me a
little humility and understand that I need help making choices.
I need to understand that nine times out of ten
I make the wrong choice as my first choice.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
So so you think that this did work because I
know a lot of people that go into rehab and
sometimes it doesn't always work, and it's tough, man, it's
it's uh, if you're addicted to something like that. So
you went in there for nine months, nine long months,
and you came out and you've been cleaned since and
you've been all right.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Yes, sir, Wow, good for you. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
All right, well, Mike, good job, thank you. I appreciate it.
Somebody says, look up the Brad Paisley World Series stats.
Every time he sings the national anthem, the World Series
goes into extra innings.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
How many times does that happen? Twice?
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I believe No.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I think it's like four or five. If it's four
or five, that's insane. If it's twice, you can find
it yesterday and I was like, well, that's weird.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I think it's there. It is two.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Here you go.
Speaker 13 (15:42):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
World Series Game two and twenty seventeen. That came one
eleven innings, World Series Game three and twenty eighteen eighteen innings,
World Series Game one and twenty twenty four ten innings,
World Series Game three, twenty twenty five eighteen innings.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Yeah, twice, he's gone to eighteen all right.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So that's a lot. Here's my question.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Has he sang the national anthem any other times in
that period of time at the World Series or they
did not go into extra innings. If those were the
four times that he sang it at the World Series
and every time he sings it they go into.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Extra innings, that is one hell of a coincidence.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Now if he's done it four other times that are
not listed on there, then you go, okay, still even that,
I mean, it's rare.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
That the World Series goes into extra innings, So even
if it was fifty percent of the time, that's still
a statistic.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Dan you Ron Rover's Morning Glory. Good morning Dan, Hey Rover.
Speaker 13 (16:40):
I just wanted to let you know about those the
snap benefits stuff too. I sort of have a couple
friends that are store owners, I guess you could say
convenience store owners.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Okay, and.
Speaker 13 (16:53):
The wife won't work. She'll collect benefits and you'll see
them in the stores like Marks and stuff like that,
where they're bulking up on ten gallons of milk. I mean,
nobody's drinking ten gallons of milk in a month, you know,
so and then that all goes to the convenience store
(17:15):
and they're selling stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Wait a second.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
See what you're telling me is that convenience store owners.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Will get their relatives on We'll get their relatives on this,
and then their wife or whoever they'll collect benefits go
and buy a bunch of stuff that they can then
resell because now they've got stock that didn't cost them anything,
and they resell those gallons of milk basically for a profit,
is what you're telling me.
Speaker 13 (17:43):
And I've actually seen them in the store and they
walk out to the car and they're getting in Mercedes.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
How do they not know you're married though, don't you?
Speaker 6 (17:53):
File is maybe maybe that's a different Yeah, who knows,
Maybe they're maybe they're only married in Sharia, lar or something.
Speaker 13 (18:04):
Watch the next time you're in the store. What's that
I said? Just watch the next time you're in the store. Okay,
I think you kind of see what happens out there.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
All right, Dan, thank you, I appreciate it. I've gotta
take a break. Eight sixty six. Your rover is our number.
Eight six six nine sixty seven six eighty three seven.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Will be right back. Hang on.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
If you're waking up listening to RMG right now, and
you're laying next to a hideous beast.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Judge Dougie and tell her she's gonna be laid for work.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Can you go?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Welcome back to Roper's Morning Glory.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Pumping iron Man says that guy's wrong. I'm down three
or four gallons of milk a week. Some people do
drink that much. I never buy ten at a time, though,
usually just three. This guy writes, that's a lot of milk,
and Tony and Rochester says those it's not really the
way that the convenience store snap scam.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Works or EBT or whatever the hell is called.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
They buy the food stamps from their customers for fifty
cents on the dollar.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
They give them cash.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Then they take the customer's card to the grocery store,
stock up on items like milk that are quick sellers
in their convenience store, and they mark up the price doubles.
They make a huge profit off of it. Michael and Michigan,
you're on Rover's Morning Glory. Good morning, Michael, Good.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Morning from Traverse City.
Speaker 11 (19:52):
Rover.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm doing all right? What's happening? Good? Hey?
Speaker 9 (19:57):
Well, I don't know about in Ohio but in Michigan
and other states, we have a ten cent deposit on cans.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Uh huh.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
So what they'll do is they'll go into the grocery store.
They'll buy like one hundred dollars worth of soda. They
take it right into the bottle return room, start opening
up and just pouring the soda down the grain, and
then return the cans for cash. And you know who
I'm talking about. You know who you're talking about, the savages,
(20:26):
the usual suspects.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I mean, you won't say it, but well let's I'll
let you say. What do you mean? Who do you get?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
What?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
You know?
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Don't beat around the bush the black Oh, the blacks.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
It's awful that you're saying that blacks are doing it.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
All right, A good one, dude, the only people besides
the blacks or the Jews. All right, So this guy
is not a sam No, not.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I would say.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
I think that would be an understatement there By the way,
I did see a video of It's funny that he
brings that up because I saw a video. It was
not black people doing it. It was white people doing
it in I want to say it was in Portland. Yeah,
and they were pouring out water, not coke. They were
(21:21):
pouring out I thought it was water.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
Water bottles yea, and recycling them for money. Yeah, And
those were yeah, white people in that video, and they.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Were just they would go in I guess they would
get their food stamps and they'd get a palette of
bottled water, and then they would go out in the
parking lot and literally just dump the water out of
the bottles of water, open them all up, dump them out,
and then they'd have these plastic bottles that I guess
we're getting some sort of deposit or something.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'm not sure exactly how it works or what they
were doing, but I look, I.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
I don't know what what the rate of fraud is.
It's probably not super high. But look, some people need
the assistance. I'm not I'm not heartless over here.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
And those people, unfortunately, because this government shutdown, are going
to be in.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
A real mind in a couple of days.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
So the people who actually need it, they need to
get this solved, this government shutdown thing.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
People were really upset with the President's wife for what
because she had this beautiful display of pumpkins at the
White House for Halloween. Mm hmm, beautiful, and people were like, whoa,
we're going to be hungry in.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Two days off race? You're talking about?
Speaker 7 (22:46):
These are the these Yeah, we're going to eat the
guts of a pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Is that what you were going to do?
Speaker 6 (22:50):
And these are people who are anybody who's complaining about that.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
These are the same.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
People that have a Netflix account, the Paramount plus account,
a Hulu account, Disney Plus. They have everything and there
this is what you're complaining about. These pumpkins at the
White House.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Looks beautiful, nobody's good.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Nobody eats these pumpkins.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Stop worrying about decorating with pumpkins, Sorry about feeding people.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
You put a pumpkin over that person's head. Shut up,
feel bad? Anonymous, you're on Rover's Morning Glory. Good morning, Anonymous, Yes.
Speaker 14 (23:23):
Good morning. I was calling in regards to some of
these phone calls you're receiving this morning.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
I was employed as a Social.
Speaker 14 (23:32):
Services brought investigator for seven years, so I thought maybe
I could clear a few things up.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
One, let me ask you, hold on wait a second,
let me ask you, so who when you're employed for that?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Who employs you? Is that the state county?
Speaker 11 (23:47):
Like I worked in New York.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I was.
Speaker 14 (23:53):
Employed by my local county. I will tell you that
every county in New York has.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Such a thing.
Speaker 14 (23:58):
There's actually an organized called Nightwithia New York Welfare Fraud
and Investigators Association.
Speaker 11 (24:05):
Black people don't even know that that exists.
Speaker 14 (24:07):
You can contact your local county and report these cases
of fraud.
Speaker 11 (24:13):
You know, it's not well known that you can do that.
Speaker 14 (24:15):
But the great majority of cases that we would get
for fraud is information from the public. We didn't just
walk across somebody committing welfare fraud. It just doesn't happen
that way. There is phone numbers, people to calls, people
to speak with. You can report anonymous.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
It can be done.
Speaker 11 (24:34):
The resources are out there now spread.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Or is it just a small number of people that
are ripping off the systems?
Speaker 14 (24:41):
Small number of people now me specifically, unfortunately every day
I showed up for work, that was my job.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
But it is very small.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
Over half the people we have are that me specifically.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 14 (24:54):
I want to make it too broad up a statement.
Are elderly and children, you know, these aren't the people
coming in and applying for these services.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
It's not them. It's the adults now as.
Speaker 14 (25:04):
Far as fraud, it was.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
It's a small number.
Speaker 14 (25:08):
It's just those are the ones that stick out to people,
I feel, because they see oh so and sos at
Walmart buying all these groceries, and that's what sticks out.
But you don't see the other ninety five percent of
people that are single mothers that are working for an
EXTRAUS forty dollars a week at a you know, trying
(25:28):
to work better, are struggling, and that's.
Speaker 11 (25:30):
What these services are for.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
It's just the fraud.
Speaker 11 (25:33):
Sticks out in the mind because people.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
Think, oh, I'm being.
Speaker 14 (25:37):
Ripped off of my tax dollars and I'm I can't
What happens if you get busted for the fraud.
Speaker 7 (25:43):
Is there a serious penalty or is it a slap
on the wrist.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
There is.
Speaker 14 (25:49):
So the one of the options is they can take
away from your monthly benefit.
Speaker 11 (25:55):
You know, uh, well you take.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Your benefit away if you're.
Speaker 14 (25:59):
Committing they can so in cases not that's if they
find you're.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
Making more money essentially than you're claiming, you know.
Speaker 14 (26:09):
What I mean, so you don't need as much. Not
simply selling your benefits stuff like that, you can be
charged criminally. It is a chargeable offense. I believe it's
been a while since I've been there, but it does
fall on.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
It can fall into a felony type of criminal charge. Sure.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
I here's somebody that says, when I was with my ex,
I used to buy snap cards from drug addicts for
fifty percent off.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It sounds like that's a fairly common thing.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
And then Amber says this is different, but she says,
I used to manage a section eight family property. The
amount of people that abuse benefits is unreal. Single women
with kids, their hair done, nails down, lashes on designer clothes,
expensive bags, and all of that. So yeah, I mean, look,
people's priorities. I guess a look, if you give people a.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Handout, and I'm all for helping people, don't get me wrong.
People will say things about Jeffrey and they'll say, oh,
how come this, and how come Jeffrey needs a hand Okay,
he's I don't have any issue with Jeffrey and his
family getting benefits and us paying for stuff. And it
is the people who What I think is the more
(27:19):
free stuff you give people, the more likely they are
to just go, oh, I can get this free stuff
and then continue to get my nails done, my lashes
done and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 14 (27:29):
And of course, and you're going to have that. Of course,
you're talking about forty million people. You can't expect forty
million to follow rules. So we can't get people to
not speed on a highway. You can't just put a
rule and just say you don't do that. And people say,
of course, there's a way to scam around everything. But
out of forty million people, let's this is a apathetical number.
(27:53):
I don't have any statistics in front of me. I
will say four million people are scamming. There's ten million
that are trying to work a crap job, that are
just barely making it, and they say, man, I'm making
eighty dollars a week too much. It's easier for me
to just quit my job and get a handout, then
go to work thirty hours a week, find a babysitter
for my kids, and have less benefits. It's a blanket system.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
That's the problem.
Speaker 14 (28:20):
It's trying to help forty million people at once. It's
pretty hard to do. But I wanted to reiterate that
you can reach out. There are eight hundred numbers. There's
a lot of things that you can do and it
really relies on help from the public. When you see something,
to report something.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Say something, say something, all right, anonymous, thank you, I
appreciate it. Geese's mom says, I used to buy snap
from people all the time.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It's very common.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
So people always come up with a way to abuse
the system.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Speaking of a I don't know if it's abuse of
the system. I guess it's not. It's her money. I'll
tell you a story about it.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Somebody who left a big amount of money too.
Speaker 14 (29:04):
Well.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
People are a little upset at the way that this
person left a large inheritance. And I'll tell you about
that in just a minute. But first, it's happened again.
There's a story in Orlando. This was at the Sea World,
or Orlando where a woman and I say, it's happened again,
because remember it happened to Fabio. I think it was
(29:27):
at six Flags Magic Mountain. I could be wrong. He
was on a roller coaster many many years ago and
a goose was flying and the roller coaster hit Fabio
right in the head.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Yeah, there's a picture of it everywhere.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
And the people him.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Look at the people behind him where they're covered in
goose blood. Do you see that yes, and this woman
is like oh.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
She's smiling.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
She's like oh, And Fabio has a broken nose, blood
all over the place. I don't know what he was
doing on this roller coaster. There's supposed to have been
some sort of right, but I don't think he was
just riding it.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
It must have been some sort of promo thing or whatever.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
But he famously was riding a roller coaster and a
goose hit him in the head broke his nose.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
The same thing happened to a woman at SeaWorld in Orlando,
but she was riding the Maco roller coaster. It wasn't
a goose, it was a duck flew into the path
of the roller coaster, hit her right in the face,
knocked her unconscious.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
She says, she's.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Sewing seeing She's sewing SeaWorld, which is weird because how
are they going to control a duck. She claims in
her lawsuit that SeaWorld failed to keep its premises in
a reasonably safe condition, and also that it did not
warn visitors about any dangerous conditions at the park.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
They say that SeaWorld.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Her lawsuit says SeaWorld created a zone of danger for
bird strikes by operating a high speed roller coaster near
a body of water, and that the ride disoriented waterfowl,
which increased the risk of collision. They should throw this
lawsuit out right away.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
They'll probably just pay her.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
No.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
No, if I were SeaWorld, I would fight this tooth
and nail. I'd say, Okay, I could pay this woman
one hundred thousand dollars, pay and settle this case and
be done with it. Or I could spend two hundred
thousand dollars in legal fees. Sure it would cost me
one hundred thousand dollars more, But just on principle of
(31:34):
the thing, you can't let somebody extort you like this.
How was SeaWorld supposed to stop a duck from flying
through the air. It was just a It's a one
in a million shot that you were on this roller
coaster and a duck flew by, and you whacked the
duck and it knocked the unconscious. I mean, I don't
know what SeaWorld or anybody is supposed to do.
Speaker 10 (31:57):
I bet they have fine print on the back of
their ticket that says something along those lines. If anything
happens to you while in the park, They're not liable
even if you die.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Yeah, they can put whatever they want on the back
of the ticket. But if they are negligent and they
do something that causes your death, they can put whatever
they want. You can't just put a disclaimer and absolve
yourself of all responsibility. But in this particular case, I
(32:28):
don't know how a SeaWorld is supposed to stop birds
from flying.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
In the air. What are they going to put like
a dome over SeaWorld or something.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
And birds got into my while ago, into my father
in law's garage, Like he has this big garage. They
call it a carriage house. They don't call it that,
but that's what it is.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
See, for some reason, when you go to the town
and get it zoned or whatever in that zone, what's
the thing you have to do, Like you have to
get a permit to build something. They go, yeah, you
can't build a garage in this township. It has to
be a carriage house. I guess it sounds fancier or something.
I guess a carriage house.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
Anyway, does it look like something like this, Like I'm trying,
I've never seen a Is this like a garage carriage
house thing?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah, it's even bigger than that. I mean, it's the
thing's huge.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
And what is it is it just uses as a
garage or is there like a living quarters in there?
Speaker 6 (33:29):
There is there on the second floor. It's two stories.
Oh nice, Yeah, I mean it's it's pretty wild. It's
a it's a but the whole garage, I mean they
must have a.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
I don't know four.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
I guess it has two two car garage things, so
four garage spaces.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I guess you could say, you know, and then you
go upstairs.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
Anyways, they left the garage door open one day and
birds got in there, one or two birds, and then
I guess maybe they closed the garage door and then
didn't think, you know, they didn't know that birds got
in there the next day just bird poop and feathers
just all over the inside of this garage, just everyway,
(34:13):
just poop.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
How do you get them out? I guess bring your
cat over. I don't know how they got the birds
out of there. And then and then they I told
you this story read maybe a month or two ago
where I went over there. I had to get the
what was it a groundhog out of the garage.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
They got to.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
Stop leaving the garage door open because ground a groundhog
got in there.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
It took me an hour to get the groundhog out.
Speaker 7 (34:37):
Yesterday, I was sitting out, I was sitting inside, and
Christa took the dog outside, and then I hear a
scream and hear I was almost murdered.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Oh my god, I was almost just murdered from my girlfriend.
So then you went and you hid under the bed
and said, okay.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I'm next. She was just in the way. That's that
was the ways the plan.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
She gets in the way and slows the guy down,
and then afterwards I'm gone, sure, yes, she.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Screams and and uh.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
You immediately you think, oh my god, well I guess
I guess.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I would have a long time ago. But once you
started getting used to say I murder, I'm murdered, you're skeptical.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
If he's the l I'm murdered. I kind of have
an idea that you're not dead. So I go outside,
like what, And then she's like, I love your tone
of voice too.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
She's like, oh my god, help, I'm being murdered. And
Charlie goes out what.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
I go out there and there's a pumpkin about this
big on the ground.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Apple like shigne of a little mini basketball, like a
souvenir mini basketball.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
Okay, i'd say in between a mini basketball and an apple,
And I go what and she goes, this just drop
from the sky and almost hit me in the head,
and I was like, what.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I think? So I look up and there is like
some branches above us.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
So I'm like, either a squirrel stolen a mini pumpkin
and was trying to bring it up to his layer
up there or whatever, or a bird was flying by.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
I dropped the pumpkin on my girlfriend's head, almost hit her.
How did that?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
That is?
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Really it's weird because I go in.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
The branches that are above are really like small week
not a place where I think a squirrel would be
hanging on on the ends of.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Let's see. You know, I don't know where this pumpkin
came from.
Speaker 7 (36:23):
Well, my mother in law did almost I saw her
about a week ago and she had a similar thing
I Charlie was. She was almost killed on the walking
path around the house, almost killed when a tree branch
fell and almost hit her in the head and kill scary. Yeah,
So I don't know if it was really that close
(36:44):
or if this is an exaggeration or something, you know,
like you hear about tree branches flying in people, I
feel like I would hear it, start hearing some major creaking, going, Okay,
I should get out of the way because I hear
some don't look it's it's going to just snap and fall.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
But the other thing is if if like there's all
these trees behind my house, and if at the end
of my yard and big, huge, massive trees, and those
trees are constantly creaking, like.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Notice, okay, like it's really.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
Actually pretty loud because they're so I couldn't even tell
you how tall these trees are, but they're super super tall.
There's also dead ones back there, so they're still standing.
And these things have got to be I don't know,
at least one hundred feet. They're huge, so they're dead.
They're completely dead. But it's not on my property. And
(37:39):
I go, what do I do here?
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (37:42):
I don't want to, like it's a big to go
down there and chop down it.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
Like these trees are absolutely enormous. I don't know how
you could even get it to fall what way you want?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
There? Totally huge?
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Am I going to go back there and try to
chop down a good tree so it doesn't fall on me.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Later company to do it. It's not my property. Why
am I going to pay the well.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Whoever's property it is, and say, yo, you got it?
This is a I don't care what if it falls
on their house.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
It could fall there's no there's no houses back there,
it's just trees. And even my my house is far
away from where these trees are, so even if one
of these giant trees fell over, it wouldn't hit my house.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
But people walk back there.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
There's like a little walking trail, and so if it fell,
it would crush you anyway. So thankfully my mother in
law alive, Charlie's girlfriend barely barely.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Video of the pumpkin here, if we're going to see.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
These chairs right in the sun, So I wanted to
move it a little bit more under the.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
And this freaking pumpkin.
Speaker 13 (38:56):
Like this.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
Who murdered me?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Exercise? That's the size of an apple, that's.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
It and dropped it on me. I don't know who
to blame.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
Anyway, So we don't know what they sabotaged. Wild wash.
That's a mini basketball right there.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Oh no, it's not that big. No, no, not that nugget.
It's the size of a tennis ball, basically way off airball.
Speaker 6 (39:26):
Oh, I was just going to tell you this story
about somebody leaving a bunch of money and people are upset,
you know, they they died, they left a bunch of
money to somebody.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Josh he Ron Rover's Morning Glory, Good morning, Josh. Hey,
what's happening?
Speaker 15 (39:43):
So I had a story about a rollercoaster and bird incident.
We were me and my brother went to uh to
your point two years ago and we were on went up,
came down the first hill, and we're going up the
second hill, and a sparrow came flying across hit him rating.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
The proof as we were going down, people.
Speaker 15 (40:01):
Around us seeing it happening, and we got done. You
could still see the imprint of the feathers on her
through like when.
Speaker 11 (40:09):
We were done. Didn't we didn't try to do anything
about it, and it was just a natural, you know,
it just happened.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Yeah, but killed the bird, I'm sure probably, And I
would imagine hit him right.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
And they throw Yeah that did with with Whenever you
bring up Fabio or whatever his name is, That's the
first thing that I think of, just reading that goose.
He wasn't hit by the goose. The goose hit something else.
He just got blood on him. That I heard crazy investigation.
We broke the goose hit a camera, he had to
(40:43):
get something, something flew off some peace and he had
to get three stitches or even he's even maybe saying
one stitch. It didn't even hit him.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
What is that him changing the story.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
So we know that it was an investigation. I'm not
sure when that was.
Speaker 7 (40:57):
We all thought he got hit in the head with
We got well forever thought he got hit in the
head with a goose.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
He did not. I watched the documentary I got three
partner on Netflix.
Speaker 6 (41:06):

Was walking across that little bridge with a little stream there,
and that big duck came and hit me in the face,
knocked me to the ground, broke my glasses, cut my face,
got stuff all over my face, and everybody just walked
by that one person stopped.
