Speaker 3 (00:13):
Danks, Mikey, them donuts were delicious. All right, so interesting stories, says.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
One in four people grappled with compulsive overspending during the
holiday season. All right, look, you gotta to me, that's
just silly. Like I get some pressures to overspend if
you know the kids are like I would a gift,
you know, to one thing, to buy a gift to two,
but compulsive overspending. Fifty six percent people say they feel

(00:44):
pressure to spend money during the holidays. Well it is
the holidays, I mean compared to your normal weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I feel a little pressure too, but part of it, right, No,
it's the holidays, right, I guess you could not participate.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Let's see.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Twenty five percent people say they discovered a more romantic
side of their partner while traveling together.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Oh okay, so there you go. Maybe you put I
don't know that on the Christmas wish list. I thought
this was kind of funny. Frontier Airlines.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
When do you think Frontier Airlines do you think cheap
way to fly? You're not getting a lot of bells
and whistles. I mean, you don't think first class. I
do not think first class.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Screams first class about front tier. When I think frontier,
I mean right up the gate. I'm like, oh, first class.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Not really.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
However, they want that sort of perception to change. I think, oh,
they're gonna be adding a new premium section to their planes.
It's I love what they're calling it. They're calling it
first class style seats. First class.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Stop.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Why don't they just go first class ish?

Speaker 3 (01:59):
It's not first class? First class ISHU what is for today?
We got first class style seats.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Let's just be honest call it second class. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I mean, if you've been on the front tier plane
in the last five years, I wouldn't even call what
they have offered up as seats. You definitely can't call
him comfortable. A few tacobout drive to his nation wide
you could be adding photo boosts. I guess there're some
part of their Super Bowl ad. Oh okay, and new

(02:34):
poll nine percent of people suggest that it is quote
not enjoyable to.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Be a parent or a grandparent.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Damn scrooge. Those people are grumpy.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Parent, I get grandparent. I thought that was like the dream.
You get the kids, but then you get a sugar
them up and send them home. Yeah, what's not to
like about that? No doubt.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
All right, this is a crazy, horrible story, so I'm
just gonna give you the highlights. A couple of Missouri
was arrested after attempting to circumcise their sun last Friday,
dad to Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
They were caught.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
When they took the boy the hospital because quote, the
procedure did not go as planned.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Oh oh, hold this boy like five, Oh, so lit'll
be ond the proper circumcision age.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
The man told cops he didn't have any medical training.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
But hey, look I.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Don't have any medical training, but you know what he
did before the procedure, what he did this way? He
told cops, I did say a blessing before the proceige.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I was hoping to hear something like I washed my hands.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I fantatize everything. I watched a YouTube video.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I mean, almost anything is better than a blessing, right,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Hey, I'm all for the blessing, don't get me wrong,
but anything, probably as far as sanitation, as far as alright,
watching a YouTube video something on it.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, a blessing, anything but Jesus take the wheel.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
There is no biblical proof that Jesus knew how to drive,
was taught that or anything else.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
I don't know about trust it.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
The man told policy again he didn't have any medical training,
but he did he did say a blessing beforehand. The
Social services has since removed there their kids, all right,
So Miller, I guess Miller High Life does a some
sort of die bar tradition. They got a new dive

(04:47):
bar cologne. It's called dive bar Fume. Apparently it's meant
to capture the smell of quote, every familiar dive bar scent.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, I don't know if this is something you want.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I mean, sounds like they had some beer that didn't
sell and they're like, I got an idea.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
You know what I really like to smell like is
bar peanuts.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
I had a little cigarette smoke. We got it.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, yeah, you know what I like the smell of
old dirty leather. Look, oh look here's the here's what
it looks includes notes of leather, cedar wood, but Tullie
sea salt, and tobacco.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
So we pretty much nailed it.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I mean, why would anybody want to smell like that? Dude,
They're selling bottles on their website for sixty dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Wow, and your wife will be angry when you come
up with smelling like, oh my god, can you imagine?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
So no surprise, here.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
A mom sus Mattel over the Wicked Doll packages with
the porn site link. Now, this is something that everybody
knew about. They ran it on every damn news station everywhere.
This woman, I'm just stunned that some people do this,
but I'm not at the same time, it's just it's

(06:24):
so frustrating because it's a class action lawsuit. She threw
it down against Mattel Tuesday, Holly Rickinson said that she
bought a Wicked Doll for her daughter, who then visited
the adult entertainment website through the link provided on the packaging.
That's what was you know, was reported right, They put

(06:47):
a instead of wickedtoy dot com. That Wicked dot com
site was a porn site. But so you had to
do all this click through to verify your age in
order to reach the you know, the porn part of
the site and Apparently this mom claims that this daughter
did indeed click through, and she showed the mom the

(07:11):
hardcore photographs on the website and that they were horrified.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
So here we go.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
She fired a class action lawsuit for more than five
million dollars, and here's your two key words, emotional distress.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
She and her daughter.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
She claims that she is suffering emotional distress, and she
wants more than five million dollars.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
I would love to be on the jury for this,
just to hear the arguments on both sides of this.
Like if I'm the opposing lawyer, I'm gonna be like,
your daughter clicked through?

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
And I mean, seriously, five million dollars.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Every time I see those two words emotional distress, I'm
just like, suck a fish, Like this is one of
those things that everybody sees her emotional distress. Everybody claims, Oh,
I'm a victim. I can't believe what I saw. Look,
I I imagine that would be tragic if she actually

(08:13):
did that.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
But then she do it under your your leadership, your
you know. It's just one of those things.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
It's like, oh God, maybe you should be watching what
your kid's looking up on line.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
You couldn't see that one coming.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
As soon as they announced that, whoops, they messed up
on the packaging. You just knew as a matter of
time before class action lawsuit was gonna be filed and
the words emotional distress would be attached to it. All right,
So here's something, here's something that everybody that's listening not
to pay attention to Aurora is doing their own version

(08:49):
of Cards to Christmas. What kind of there's a new
ordinance in Aurora U it's what was the code? I
saw one thirty four Dash thirty seven. It was passed
into September and apparently it says officers must have a
car towed away and impounded if the car's registration is

(09:12):
not up to date, the driver does not have a
valid driver's license, and they do not have proof of insurance.
It's a three strike rule. It's obviously going to increase compliance.
You know, when when you're out on the street and
on the road and so forth. I feel like, if
you're on the road, it's your responsibility to have insurance

(09:34):
right right to me anyway a license, Yes, it's your
responsibility to be able to financially back up the responsibility
of driving.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Driving is a privilege, is not a right.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
And I feel like, I'm sorry, but you need some
form of insurance, right, truly?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
You the one thing, Well, technically I ask you two things.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
When I give away cars cars at Christmas, I say,
you gotta show me your driver's license and you have
to have insurance. So when I read this and I
read the number of cars, y'all, they fired this program up.
In the first twelve days, they towed fifty two cars.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Man, that's more than four a day.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Fifty two cars in twelve days.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Now that's a weekends.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
And look, this is something where where they can't pull
you over that you gotta be pulled over for something else.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
So you were speeding and that had those three things
going against you.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, this ordinance applies only to cars that are pulled over,
but with another reason, another cause.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
They're not gonna pull you over for expire tags.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
They just happen to look at the tags when they're
running it and see that it's expired. If you don't
have insurance and you don't have a license, they're gonna
toe it. And they told fifty two cars in the
first twelve days.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Heiny, nobody in a.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Row around with insurance or license.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
And I'm just saying, like, Aurora is gonna be like, Man,
you're gonna have to It's gonna be like a death
race or something on that. I mean, it's wild. And Aurora,
fifty two cars to twelve days.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Man, that's a lot if you don't have a license,
keep it under the speed limit.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, I mean, look this counsel woman, she says, it's
law creates even a bigger burden for people who don't
have valid registration, insurance or a driver's license because they
don't have the money to pay for the basic necessities
of owning the car.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Well that's the point, right, I mean I get.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
It, but you you need to have that enough responsibility
if you own a car and you're gonna drive it,
to have a license to insure it.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I mean, you're sharing the road with all the other
people that supposedly have done these things. Yeah, who know, Aurora.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
I mean, wow, man, I know it's it's difficult sometimes
to get out of that rep but at the same time.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
A minimum investment that you have to put into driving.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, I mean I come to this over. I'm just
blown away that fifty two cars got towed in twelve days.
And that's because it got pulled over for another reason.
If you're a toe truck like owner in Aurora, you
you probably grinding.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Now you're like, I'm killing it.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
I guess once all the other city starts seeing impound
fees piling up, they'll be like, oh, maybe we should
get into this guy.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Hey, side note, maybe a good time to sign up
for all those police auctions. Ninety one here old woman.
Oh no, it's a guy. Ninety one year old guy
with dementia. He went missing Wyoming last week. Nobody knew
where he was for two days.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now here's what's crazy. His wife.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
His wife didn't know where he was for two days man,
until she happened to see him on a local news
report from a completely different state. Oh it looks like
KSL and Salt Lake City. They did a segment on
a rescue mission serving free meals. Oh okay, he was there, dude,

(13:25):
Can you believe that?

Speaker 1 (13:26):
So somehow he made it from Wyoming, Wyoming to Utah.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
He'd hitchhike more than two hundred miles hitchhiking. Huh yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah. Her husband was sitting at a table in one
of the shots for the rescue mission in Utah. Just
sitting at a table. He's got to mention it doesn't
know where he's at, doesn't know his anything else. He's
sitting at the table. She sees the freaking news report.
She's like, there he is, and find out he freaking
hits like two hundred miles. That's crazy, man, Wow, that
is nuts. Here's what else nuts? I hop?

Speaker 3 (14:01):
So I hop.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
This woman worked I have for thirteen years. Her name
is Victoria Hughes. She got fired for feeding a homeless man.
Oh apparently. She did an interview Wednesday after says she
was fired.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
For feeding a man in need.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
She worked at ihop location in Lakeland, Florida for thirteen years.
Said man walked into eye hop Sunday and told her
that he was very hungry. So she basically said, you know,
have a seat. She brought him a stack of pancakes
and made him a water. Now, she informed her manager

(14:45):
about the situation, and I guess his reaction caught her
off guard.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
He told me the reason. It's kind of interesting.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
He told me the reason behind him being upset was
because it could cause a lording issue or a safety
issue for customers.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Are you buying that. No, it's just the duty in pancakes, right.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
And apparently he was a called when speaking with w
FLA at TV station, adding that the man returned later
with a family who brought him in for another meal.
So he went back there with apparently another family, and
that family bought the man another meal. Oh okay, so
he's been in there twice. She gets a call later

(15:30):
that day says she's fired. Yeah, and she's been there
for thirteen years. Yeah, she says, I need my job.
But reflecting on the situation now to still do it
all over again, well, she does this interview with the
local TV station.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Right after surprise, surprise, Right af.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
She did the interview, she gets a call from IHOP
corporate office. Oh the big man. Yeah, I love this
because this is what the I have. Corporate obviously like,
oh hey, uh, our bad. How about we give you
a job back and compensation for the days of work
that she missed.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Oh okay, let's just make this better.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
We're sorry, stop telling everybody we fired your for feed
the homeless guy. They put out statement to you know,
all the all the keywords in there. We were committed
providing inclusive environment blah, blah blah, we're speaking to the
TV station. Hugh said that she would be taking some

(16:35):
time to consider whether or not to work for the
company again after spending time with her family for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Did she go back, Mmm, she'll go back.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah. Maybe with all the publicity, someone out there will
reach out to herm and be like, hey, I have
a nicer restaurant, would you like to come work here?
Maybe some long those life all happened for her.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
We had a story a couple of weeks ago about
a couple of briskets getting stolen, and I remember the
owner saying, hey, if you were hungry, I would have
made you a plate. It wouldn't have been a big deal.
But you stole our briskets.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
That's a different story. You stole brisky And I don't
want to say it's a policy, but I feel like
there's a lot of places that if you truly were hungry,
they'd be like, I got you, don't worry.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, it's weird too, because some people claim they're hungry,
Like I, what was.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
It McDonald's, McDonald's. I think it was burger King.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Anyway, A homeless guy offered him a whoppers bringing a
bunch of food grub to the carson Christmas guys offered
him a burger and uh he was like, nah, oh good.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Oh so you're not hungry, you're picky.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Yeah, no, you just want money anyway.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Here's the the final story for Stupid Stories and involves
a local officer from Loane Tree, Colorado, who was chasing
the suspect who committed felony theft. He was fleaning on
foot through the neighborhood. The thief was running through properties
and jumping fences before he eventually well, he stole kids

(18:07):
motorized scooter and took off. The cop who was in
hot pursuit jumping over the same fences, but now he
was losing ground because the thief, well, the thief was
stolen a motorized scooter was taking on So what the
cop do.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
The cop he didn't feel like he was well, he didn't.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Want to come in second place, so he well, he's
stolen another kid's.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Bike and took off on it.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
I think this is awesome.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
I need to see body campotes that it's a little
green BMX bike.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
The bike he's stole. He's just a little.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Common deered is the police term but yes, he stole
a little green BMX bike.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Now he didn't steal because he brought it right back.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
There's video of the cop from a neighbor's security camera,
and he's riding down the street on this little tiny
BMX bike chasing another man on a scooter.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
This has got to be the coolest like chase ever.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Like you stock up the little kids scooter.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Eventually, the officer on the bicycle caught the suspect on
the motorized scooter, so he's peddling his ass off. The
thief was charged pelony theft. He also had three outstanding warrants,
including one for armed robbery. The department posted a video
of the pursuit and said, it's not about the wheels
you're riding, but the heart dedication behind him.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Now it's cool because.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
He did bring the bike right back.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Some people, some people online, I guess they're saying that
it was cruel because he stole the kids bike.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Right, I mean, it doesn't sound like the kid was
there to give permission.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
I mean, is that stealing a bike if you bring
it back.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
I would like to see a regular person bring that
up in court.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah right right?

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Is it a stolen car if you bring it back.
I mean, it's a borrowed car. So here's my question
if a cop.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
If a cop came up to you right now, if
you were witnessing a chase where you watch the would
be burglar, you know, fell in or whatever, who's running
for the cop. If you saw him hop on a
scooter or a bicycle or something.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Like that, the car in front of you right the.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Cop turns to you and says, hey, I need your car.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Would you give it to him?

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Would you?

Speaker 1 (20:32):
I think I'm gonna know.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Can you say no?

Speaker 1 (20:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I mean, is that what are the rules about a
cop being able to commandeer you ride?

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Can they or is that legally something that they can do.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I feel like that's a movie thing. I don't know, though.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
I mean, I would try to at least barter with him.
You know, I'd be like live.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Bro, there's no time, suspect is run.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
No, you get in, I'll chase him.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
I mean, it would be epic if he did.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
All right, So, commandeering means to officially take charge of
a vehicle or building. Apparently in commander our building or
like our office, we did by someone else that it
can be used according to Google's AI over you overview, no,
the police cannot commandeer your car in Colorado.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
In Colorado, in Colorado? What what is there a state
where they.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Can let me see? If I don't answer that, I'm
not talking about I'm not okay, not the whole I'm
gonna take your car.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
It's official police business.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
I need.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I'm gonna take your car. But what if they said, yo,
you know, can I borrow? What if they ask you,
you know, hey, can I buy your car? You're like, hey,
I need to chase you. Can I buy your car?

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Sounds like legally you can say no, But I just
took out the Colorado and says no, the police cannot
come into your car. A vehicle is privately owned and
the police do not have authority to sieve a to
seize a private vehicle and to use it to pursue
a suspect.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
But what if you offer the copper? Right?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I mean, I guess you can ask, but it's up
to you in the end.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
It sounds like, okay, I would totally do it.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Now.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Obviously there's a chance your car gets trashed.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Right, I don't know what police insurance does for those
you don't have to be in a long legal battle
with the police department because you were, quote the nice
guy by loaning.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Right right now. I think I've seen this on one
of the Bad Boys movies.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Like don't they buy I don't know. I thought they
bought him a new car. I mean it was a process,
but I don't know. I feel like that would be
kind of cool the movie. I would just the story
would be awesome.
