Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for honorable mention. Honorable mention, not.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Honor serving with you did, great, honorable Moses.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
So today we're holding auditions to become the newest member
of honorable mention. You know, Richie brought us a new
slang to talk about earlier in the week, and I
put pooed that only because whenever we you and I
do new slang, you hear it. It's a highlighter of
how just damn old you can become.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
But this one is weird.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Miriam Webster came out with their Collegiate Dictionary Updated words
uh this week, and they added more than five thousand
of them. But here's just a few of them that
they added. By the way, now.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
They're old and this mode did me feel young? Beast mode?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Come on?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
That was like fifteen years ago, Dad bod also so
old dumb phone, old farm the table, Come on, hard Pass?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Who wrote this love language? Petricore distinctive earthly, usually pleasant
odor that is associated with rainfall, especially when following a warm,
dry period.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Petricore seems out of the brain space that would be
the people reading the New Dictionary words. But maybe not Riz,
of course, you know, Riz side eye.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Hard Pass what's terraflop unit of measure for the calculating
speed of a computer equal to one trillion floating point
operations per second?

Speaker 1 (01:29):
What does so?

Speaker 4 (01:29):
What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
If a computer can do six terraflops, it's better than
a computer that can do one.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
When would you ever use that?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
There are people, listen, there are people who still use
the word riz and beast mode.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
So I don't know. I don't know who those people are.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
I don't mean to get upset about it.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
No, you looked really angry there for a second. Who
would use that?

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Who would use terraflop?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
We should fire Miriam number nine nine?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
I did ninth place.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
If a CoP's dirty nine times out of tennis, partner's
dirty too?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
And I speak nine languages, basically everybody at table nning.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I feel ready to go another nine and niner?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Did I catch a niner in there?

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Which?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Calling from all walkie talks?

Speaker 3 (02:16):
I feel like we're doing this story only because it
comes to us from a place called Sippy Down.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Sippy Downs, Australia.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Cippy Downs.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
What a wonderful name of a place.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Family and city Downs discovered there to go pizza came
with an unexpected extra a red bellied black snake, which
I guess is venomous.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
I've never heard of that. It's kind of snake.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Aren't snakes and spiders just part of the culture in Australia.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
All over the place?

Speaker 4 (02:44):
They're everywhere.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Snakes and spiders can legally be elected to city and
town councils.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
And doesn't every home have like a spare room for.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Them for snakes and spiders? Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
The family and ended up catching calling a license snake
catcher to come and get that snake. They said it
slipped inside the pizza box and they had this guy
come and remove it. He said, calling a professional to
handle the snake was a smart move because these reptiles
are highly venomous.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I want to point out the picture that they's included here.
It's clearly a Domino's box. But that's a half eaten
piece of pizza. So somebody did not let the venomous
snake in the pizza box prevent them from putting pizza
in their face.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Oh, I wouldn't. Here's the thing about red bellied black snakes.
They're one of the most frequently encountered snakes on the
East coast of Australia and are responsible for a number
of bites every year. So yeah, it's just the cost
of doing business if you're in Australia. Oh, snake bite, okay,
it's Tuesday. Whatever they do appear to flee rather than fight,

(03:47):
and these snakes will only bite under severe molestation such
a I'm going to come true for not making a
snake molestation show.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Who needs it? Here's number eight.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
A Clive is bowled every eight second.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Listening to eight different bosses drawn on about mission statements.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Wow, listen, it's hard to get food on a Ryan airflight.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
We've done stories of terror in the skies.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
I don't know if this would be terrifying or just bizarre,
but a Ryan airflight recently was the scene of a
very strange occurrence where two men began eating their passports
mid air.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Like I said, there's no stewardess coming by with a
CHARCOOTERI plate option on a Ryan airflight. You barely get
water on those things, so sometimes you get hungry and
you know you've got your passport on you chomp, chomp, chop.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Staff were notified that something strange was happening in the
front of the plane. Passengers watch as one of the
men allegedly began ripping pages from his passport and then
eating them, and then they began to freak out. His
companion headed for the back of the plane, apparently trying
to flush his passport down the toilet. An air hostess
or a flight attendant started banging on the door, asking

(05:12):
they got to come out, and they said. This led
to even more attention. The flight attendant then made a
public announcement that was so blunt and to the point
that freaked people out to another level. No one knew
what was going on, so they diverted the flight to Paris.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
And they apparently started handing out drinks, which made people
feel better. One passenger saying, I'm just really effing glad
I landed. I almost said the real word because I
thought for a minute we were doing.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
The podcast or not yet. Don't worry. Here's number seven,
the profanity on with seven days with the government, seven
years of college done to.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Drake, seven seven seven days.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
I don't think whoever's in Florida.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
If you're a newscaster in Fort Pierce Fowl, you wish
this guy's name was different.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Man is recovering after surviving a shark attack there While
spear fishing off the coast of the Bahamas, Eddie Jarmakowitz
was diving during a three day fishing trip to Grand
k when he was bitten by a shark. I never
saw the shark that attacked me, but my wrist was
hanging down. Oh, I could see flesh, so obviously it

(06:27):
was a concern.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
I swam back to the boat with one arm and
the whole rescue started from there. Four people in the
group at the time, two in the water, two on
the boat. The other diver said. The type of shark
that bit Jamark jarmac jar mccoway Eddie was a reef
shark at about six feet long, so you.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Didn't know any pullocks.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
He'd arrived at a hospital in four Piers. His hand
had been tightly wrapped in a tourniquet for more than
four hours, and the doctor said the extent of the
injury was immediately alarming. It was a mangled extremity, multiple
muscles that were exposed, tendons. I could see down to
his bone and his forearm. Okay, yeah, hey, where did
we come down on the pollock thing? Is that like

(07:09):
racist or something to say pollock? Should I say, a
Polish person or a pole a pole. I think that's
the new ah hole.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Ah. You'll write that down just in case it comes up.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, we'll put that down in the book of Things
not to say to be racist.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Okay, here's number seven. I got six, you got six,
got six, number six.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
There's six more weeks of many picture of me a
rabbi and six drunk and Longshoremy.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
We just dig in a nursing home closer to us.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
I don't have to die.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Take down, drink another six pack.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Perfect.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
This is kind of a weird story.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
A couple of ambulance service workers have been arrested on
suspicion of manslaughter part of an investigation back in the UK.
Man from his man in his thirties and a woman
in her fifties arrested on counts of gross negligence, mad slaughter,
four counts of ill treatment or wilful neglect by a
care worker said that apparently these these ambulance workers were

(08:09):
not taking care of people once they would pick them up.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Well, aren't they supposed to just be the drivers? Can't
they just drive them to the hospital? The hell are
the ambulance people supposed to do well? I mean there's
basic life care that they've got, right, But I mean,
if you're calling an ambulance, chances are you're not in good.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Shape, they said.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
The ambulance company, by the way, says, we've been rated
good overall and our care is rated as A Have
you ever seen.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Though of the janky ass ambulances? Like I've seen these
from time to time, low end ones, the low end ambulances,
And you're and they look dirty, they look like rolling
staff infections, and you're like, what kind of hospital is
that even still in service?

Speaker 4 (08:50):
What's happening?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
And you look and it's a it's actually one of
those magnetic little flappy signs that you can peel off
and yeah, it's like Duke's body removal.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
You're right, it's not good. How does that happen? How
does that happen? How does the bad ambulance get sent
for you?

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Hey, there's there's got I mean, there's tiers of cares
of care and levels of product.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
What insurance do I have to have to get the
like non.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Peel and stick lettering ambulance.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Some bad stuff? Maybe the General has that kind of
health insurance.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
The General is that insurance with shack that has you
been watching me TV? So here's number five for five.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Minutes five little this is the year five point five five.
Do me a favorite. Loose five pounds immediately.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
What could go wrong?

Speaker 3 (09:44):
There's a new company it's called Flock Safety, and they're
dispatching drones that will chase you down if you shoplift.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
You can if you're a.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Company in the US, you can place flocks drone docking
stations on your premises.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
For example. They use the example of a home depot.
If you see shoplifters leaving the store, then the drone
equipped with cameras, etc. Could be activated from that docking
station on the roof, and then it follows the people.
They get in the car, You click a button, you
track the vehicle with the drone, and the drone just
follows the car, van, truck, whatever it is. The video

(10:21):
feed of that drone could go to the security team
that works for home depot, could also go automatically to
police departments or whatever.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
The problem is, you can't just.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Have drones flying around following things on road. I mean
they've got to be at a certain elevation so that
they're over things like power lines obviously, but then you've
also got buildings. They've got to look out for tunnels
if you get into a tunnel or something like that.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I don't know how this is going to work.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
And if companies already have a problem with you doing
your job as a loss prevention officer. You're not supposed
to tackle anybody or confront anybody when they steal a
cart full of crap out of the walmart.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
How is this drone thing going to make it any better?

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Number four or Minette, it is probably on his fourth
tranquilizer by.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Now, Commandment number four. This isn't the same world you
left for years.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Opecially, Well, it's hard to meet a man out there.
And one woman has taken to a billboard to find
a potential suitor. Her name is Lisa Catalano. She's up
in the Bay Area and she's been running billboards along
the one oh one from Santa Clara to San Francisco

(11:33):
Marylisa dot com. She says, I want to meet somebody.
I was not having luck any other way. They show
her face, they show her website. She said she built
the website after too many bad dates. She does have
an application process, okay. She uses the website to spell
out her likes, dislikes, and non negotiables.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Non negotiables.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yeah see, you know what, we should do a whole
podcast on people. And they're non negotiations, negotiable And how
if I had non negotiable you shouldn't because here's the thing.
Think about something.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
That bothered you. If your wife did that thing?

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, and you discarded her because of that before learning
that you adore her and you don't care that she
has six eyes six eyes or whatever, you know what
I mean, Like, it's silly.

Speaker 4 (12:24):

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Not that I know of, God, But there's a funny.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
It's written as sort of a conversation, and one says,
let me set the scene. You spy a dishy stranger
across a bar. The attraction is instant, that urges are strong.
What do you do? And the response is, I assume
I'm being honey trapped by a government organization, because that
would never happen to me.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Oh god, there's something wrong.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I've never I've never been in a public bathroom where
I've thought to myself, this is where, this is where
