Speaker 1 (03:21):
They that's the number one rule of grow rooms. Don't

Speaker 2 (03:28):
They probably had a power strip with three power strips
plugged into that one.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Right. You ever felt that wire going into that little
eight dollars powership you bought at Walmart.

Speaker 3 (03:39):

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Apparently they're really into stealing panties.

He's got an insanely long rap sheet this time, Well,

means he probably grabbed about twenty twenty one pair if that.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah, no, thirty four hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
That's about twenty pair, because you know they having three
packs for like, you know, eighty four dollars or something.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Not so tough. Now are you what are you interviewing

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Baby, I got you all.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
The panties, one of every type, right, one of them
will fit you.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Right. I'm not a sass nine looking at there should
be size whatever you are.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Chinese aquarium is well, it's being ripped up by angry
not ripped up, but just ripped apart verbally by angry fans.
It apparently advertised it had a gigantic shark, like a
megaladon or something.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
It turned out to be a robot. Robot.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
It's like you've seen the zoo where they got the
dogs paid up as lions. Like, China is a complete scam.
I wouldn't trust anything in China. Chinese zoo, not a chance,
not a chance. An aquarium with a gigantic shark. Yeah,
that's not real.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
They open up the lid of the shark and you
got guys working on it. I mean, it's like you.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Gotta be a real sucker fist to believe anything in China.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
I wouldn't be Like, that's not a panda.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
They are setting us pandas again we better backed them first, right,
got a box of dogs.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Right, no doubt. Louke sen as a penguin said it
was a bald eagle.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Thirty nine percent of Americans. That's the number of Americans
who pretend their influencers when they're own vacation to try
to get better deals. So basically everybody, all the percentage
of Americans is actually taking vacation is saying they're influencers
because the rest of US sixty one whatever it is,

(06:32):
we ain't look fifty percent.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
We ain't taking vacation. It ain't had that.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
We know when the last time you had a vacation,
were you waiting somewhere.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
But I'm an influencer.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I could see that though. Just you know, you book
your room and be like, I know, I booked a
view of this side, but I'd really like an ocean
view and it would look really good on my right,
right right on my snapchap.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
That's the perhaps problem in America right now. Sixty one
percent can't afford vacation. Other thirty nine percent.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
It's like, I'm an m I want deal, deals and deals.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'll take pictures for you.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I get likes and shares.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Uh. The Jornos knows what's up. They're bringing back things,
giving pizza.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Oh okay, that's good.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Cool fashion trends, Scoop, I know you can be all
about this.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Like there's a lot of fashion trends that I'm like, Ah,
Scoop won't dig this one, you won't like this one.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Up, But this trend, this one's up my arm.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Oh man, excuse is gonna be all about this?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
All right?

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Here you go. One of the new fashion trends in
twenty twenty five, dun, dun, dun. One legged pants.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, so one of your legs is covered in like
a pant leg like usual, and the other is all exposed,
you know, like you're wearing some shorty shorts or something
like a little little mini scrrit or something.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
So it's got a little something there, just not a
full leg.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
He's shrink flation hitting pants too, couldn't afford the other hand,
right right.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Several fancy fashion companies have had models wearing these on runways.
One even has these pants as a part of their
collection in the workplace.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Women's wear for next spring.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Ye, try that.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Here's the problem.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
You you're probably paying more for one pant leg than
you are for a full pair of pants where you
get too, so you're actually get less material but paying
more for it.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Because that's what women's fashion is, kind of like those
paintings that were being stolen, right.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Right, everybody knows in women's fashion, the less material you have,
the more you gotta charge.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I see where they're going with this though, Like the
women wear like like a dress top like a blazer,
and then the bottom you get the look of wearing
dress pants, but then you also get that exposed leg look.
Like you wear a dress and you it wouldn't work
too out of place on a woman. I don't think.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's stupid as hell. That's the dumbest what you wouldn't
look out of place? How does that not look out
of place? It's like, excuse me, Uh, where's your other
either where's your other leg or where's your other pant?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Do you call it a pant? Can you call it
pants at that point? Or is it just a pant?

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Just pant? Yeah, it's definitely not a pair.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Right, don't even go with the pair.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
He looks just another charge you more, you're gonna get less?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Uh hashtag women's fashion and scoop Would you support that?

Speaker 2 (09:40):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
No, no, come on, just the pants, not the skirt,
not the dress thing on top.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Of a look. Uh no no, I'd wear the corner
Knight Jonathan Davis wearing that under his kilt.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Right on, just one skinny leg out their hair all
over it. I don't know men of the Yeah, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
We have the same two kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Here's something more up mensality or whatever you want to
call it. Researchers in China been working on a flexible
finger like probe with censors on the end of it
and anything.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
It could eventually be used.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
To tech things like in large prostate n abnormal lumps.
So yes, in case you're curious, your next prostate exam
could be done by a robotic finger.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
As long as it's skinny. I guess right.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's called BSF.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
That doesn't stand for best friend now, it sends for
bioinspired soft finger. It bends like a normal finger, but
it just doesn't have a human attached to it. Well,
I guess other than you, it was doing the okay anyway, Yes,
a barely. It's not just for prostate exams. It was

(10:52):
able to find somebody's artery on their wrists and measure
their pulse. They think this technology can be used to
find lumps and breast tissue. So your boobs get squished
by a finger anyway, I know, maybe a robot will
fel you up. It seems like that'd be weird.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
I was gonna say it's gonna end up on porn
Hub one of these days.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
One hundred percent that's not a robot hilarious.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
All right. There's some people who love their jobs. There's
other people just visualizing that time they finally can quit,
make a big deal out of it. You know we've
seen that before. Sure, this woman she's going viral for
saying that when she finally did leave.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Her toxic job, well she stole her office chair.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Oh rebellious.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh she just wheeled it out when she left and
jammed it in a car.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Nobody said anything about it. She's tried to justify.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
It's like, in my mind, I figured, I've been sitting
there taking years of emotional, physical, and verbal abuse. So
I'm gonna take my chair and f off. It's just
like a woman, doby, I'm taking this chair. The chair's
going with me.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
My chair.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Anyway, she got an email the next week telling her that, yeah,
she needed to bring the chair back, and she did.
She's called that experience really embarrassing. Look, everybody knows.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
The key here is to take the chair before.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
You quit, after they write you your check.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, man, you gotta take the chair like a week before. Yeah,
I come in one day.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
What happened? My chair act on surpride.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't know what having a chair make that the
reason you quit? Yeah, take my chair. I can't sit down,
I can't.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Work in this place. This environment is just scary to me.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I two guys, I guess we're at it in and
Out Burger, California, and another car is zipped in and
cut line in front of them.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Oh, jerk move.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
It is jerk moving. It does suck you like you mother.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Anyway, the footage of what happened next to gone viral
because well how they handled it. They waited until the
car that had cut him off cut up to the
drive through window. Then one of them walked up told
the cashier they wanted to pay for all the cars
behind them, so that the line cutter was the only
one who didn't get in on the free food, and

(13:16):
they were a tricked out Mercedes obviously had some money.
It looks like the driver's own a few businesses. It's
not clear how many cars they paid for, but they
did spend a few hundred dollars doing it. It was
more so for the random act of kindness and the
video comments. The guy said the paying for people at
drive throughs is something he does a lot. Difference this
time was he just ran and wanted to make sure

(13:38):
the cutter who cut line saw saw him do it.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
It's like, oh, well, you know.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Just so happy as we're paying for everybody behind us
in line kick bag.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
All right.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
And lastly, I'm sure police officers every day man have
to deal with something that's just like in their minds,
Like I can't believe I got to deal with this moron.
Police in Florida recalled to report of an explosion and
smoke him Monday night. When they got there, they encountered
a thirty nine year old man named Joseph Morton, and

(14:14):
he was apparently yelling at the cops from his backyard.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Okay, we don't need no cops around here, y'all leave
me alone. Blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, the cops said they need to speak with him,
so he came out in front well armed with a
handheld flamethrower.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
O We'll say what. Yeah, man, he came right.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Of the cops with a flamethrower. I'm gonna advise against that. Understand,
Probably not the best way to handle any situation when
it comes to police, not to walk out and address
him with a flamethrower in your hand.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
There's only a couple of situations that a flamethrower makes better,
and if the police are there, it's not one of those.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, you know, what happens when a flamethrower gets drawn
on the cops? They draw their guns and you'll which
one of those.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Winds the gun.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Thrower, see it throws something not as good as a bullet. Anyway,
you had the cops, they had the guns drawn. That's
when Joseph put down the flamethrower. Uh, he was so
close to the one cop just reached out and yanked
the flame throw away from him when he put it down. Oh,
he apparently treated to his house and when he came

(15:25):
back out, he tried to find one of the officers
with a flashlight.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, yeah, shut the flashlight.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Anyway, he was telling he's taking the custody. He tried
to aggravate us on the deadly weapon and resisting an officer.
So what happened you walk up to a cop with
a flamethrower, you idiot. That's why they call them stupid stories,
not really smart stories.
