One seven nine KBPI and your show time for stupid stories.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Y'all stop. Yeah you are stories about you.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Buy Ari Shaffer at the Comedy Works all we can long,
but you can't get tickets unless you want to go
on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, those are going quick. Imagine by the end of
the show today those are sewed out too. Yeah, all right,
he was gonna come in. Unfortunately he's a little tired
last night. Couldn't make it, Dad gon it all right.
Some foodies in China flocking to a funeral home.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
A funeral home. Yeah, they apparently serve this dish to mourners.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It went viral on social media and now foodies are
there trying to get it interest crashing funerals. Yes, a
new study suggested having some belly fat may be beneficial
for brain health and younger adults. Oh okay, how about that.
Somebody thought it'd be hilarious and it is to use
(00:59):
a bunch well fake legs to alert people have a
big pothole. The legs are sticking up through the pothole
just to feed up. And people are all swearving because
they think it's like a hole in somebody hanging in it.
But that's hysterical. I don't care who you are.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
This funny is out.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
There's a story about a sixty three year old woman
named Soon Bang Soon Bang. If I told you a
woman's name was soon Bang, what would you think her
profession was? Sounds like a hooker roadside fireworks. I don't
think so.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I feel like that is ad giveaway for a hooker.
And sure enough, Soon Bang was charged with operated prostitution
business from a New Jersey massage.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Partly, come on, Soon Bang, come on kidding me with that?
What's your name? Eh? Okayhi? Japan is doing something crazy.
It turned to a four day work week and what
they call it despert attempt to help people in Japan
(02:04):
well have babies. They're basically giving you a day off
to have sex. How generous is that?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah? I mean I think it'll work. I feel like
most people wait to the weekends. Maybe not necessarily, but
I think and now you've got an extra day is
nextra opportunity. I think it could work.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I mean if I just waited til weekends, well I
would cut my head, like having an extra that'd be great,
maybe to recover from a weekend. But yeah, man, look
New policies come as birth rates in Japan hit a
record low in twenty twenty four. From January June, the
country recorded three hundred and fifty thousand, seventy four births,
down five point seven percent from the same period in
(02:46):
twenty twenty three. And it looks like depands On the
only country facing decline in fertility, theycording New Yorker. By
twenty one, hundred, ninety seven percent of the world's countries
are addicted to be below replacement bursts.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh, so they're gonna be declining in population. They don't
have enough to replace the ones that are.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Going Yeah, why does like you and and other people
freak out about the world's population. Obviously it's going down. Yeah,
now wild ninety seven percent of countries. That's crazy, But
that's how they all set it, all right. I mean,
that would be awesome if you just had a day,
But companies like hey, take our work, get.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It on for our national duty, right, that'd be amazing. Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Twenty nine year old guy in Vancouver, This might possibly
be the dumbest drunk driving story we've ever had. This
guy got soppy ass junk at a wedding, Just dumb
drunk it happens. Sometimes people took his keys away. They're like, heybody,
let's get you an uber home. Let's get you home safe,
all right, you know, look it out for your friend. Yeah,
that's what you want to do, right, especially when you
(03:59):
get this drunk.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
If you don't have friends that'll do it for you,
you need to find some new friends.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, absolutely, right on top of it. You know, you
look at they It's at a wedding, so everybody's gonna
cut their cards down. Maybe open bar scenario where you know,
you should have friends looking out for you, especially for
the ride home and a scenario like that. And these
guys absolutely did that for their friend. So if they
took his keys away, they well they caught him an
(04:26):
uber at one in the morning. He wasn't happy about that,
so he started to fight at the party. Oh yeah, Well,
Unfortunately for him, somebody else who's witnessing the fight called
the cops and they arrested him for breach of peace. However,
instead of the uber driving him home, the cops drove
(04:49):
him home.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Took him home, took him home, not the drunk tank.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
No, okay, drive home, sleep it off, but instead of
just passing out like you should have. This dumb ass
decided to he was gonna call uber, and he had
an uber pick him up, and he drove him back
to the wedding oh no, to get his car, and
he drove drunk anyway. And this is where it gets
(05:14):
even more interesting. By interesting, I mean stupid. This dude
goes to the cop the police station that the cops
had pulled him over, I guess, the only police station
in this town. He goes by there at more than
twice the speed limit at three point fifty in the morning.
They cocked him doing seventy six in a thirty.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Mile hour zone. Thirty So that's like you know, residential schools.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, right for the police station. Yeah, at the end
of a park. So yeah, seventy six and thirty Yeah,
this month, twice the post the limit. They arrested him again.
They tossed him in jail to sew up the nine
facing driving charges and lost his license well right out
of the get for three months. And then they go
to court to find out if he keeps or not.
(06:03):
But yeah, what an idiot man Like you were home.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Bro, you were given every opportunity to make this go away.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, you were home. You just gotta sleep it off.
People took the keys like man, Most people forget about it.
Hopefully can put the fight aside, just be like I'm sorry,
I was drunk, bad, my bad, But you went back,
got your car, then started flying by the police station,
middle finger in the air. You're moron. You deserve it,
all right. I don't know that this man deserved this.
(06:33):
I guess it's not a common for people to test
their partners. I guess various ways to see, you know,
maybe if they're right for each other. There's no doubt.
These people and other people take it too far case
and putting. This young woman from the non province in
China apparently subjected her fiance to three hours of electric
shock to his stomach as a twisted way and simulated
(06:56):
the pain of childbirth. Now it's unclear why this dude
to accept it the test, But whatever I want to
say is because the stepmom pressure. Stepmom was there acting
he wanted to do it anyway. This grueling task took
place at a maternity care facility run by the woman's sister.
Using electrical stimulation device designs specifically to simulate the pain
(07:19):
of childbirth. The woman subjected her fiance to increasingly stronger
electrical shocks through the stomach for just over three hours.
She wrote about listen is. She wrote about it online.
She said, quote, my boyfriend started to feel miserable from
level eight and couldn't help cursing. By level ten, the
(07:42):
woman wrote, she continues at level twelve. She kept going.
He was sweating and breathing rapidly due to so much
severe pain. By the end of the experience, he was
completely exhausted and his stomach was hard as a She
left these electrodes on this man and blew up his
(08:05):
intestine to the point it's called intestine the crow system
basically whether the intestine is now dead because everything on
it is ruptured. So the man had to have emergency surgery,
but that would until after a couple of days. The
man that night experienced severe dominal pay any vomited bunch times.
He appeared to feel a little bit better the next day,
but his condition kept worsening. He couldn't eat anything, kept vomiting.
(08:27):
So it took him to the hospital and they're like, yeah,
she blew you're intestin up, so do not have emergency surgery.
After learning about the torture, The man's family was furious
and warned his fiance that she was not welcome at
the hospital after surgery. Would you welcome your fiance after
(08:50):
an experience like that?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Stay away from you with that stun gun, honey.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
The family added to this woman that the age was
off and she should get ready for a lawsuit. So
it goes from fiance.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
To you know of n apply ever, never happily, never
after right, And.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
According to the Chinese legal experst, the man and his family,
if they finally complaint, the guilty party faces at them
three years in prison and they gotta pay conversation to
the victim. He could never poop the same again.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, oh, she broke him.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Why on earth would you do that to your man?
For three hours, she never let up, right, She just
kept increasing it do, screaming like why would you do that?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Right, screaming at level ten, and she's like, I think
we got more in ya.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Right, hold on, honey, showed me you love me. He's like, wow, wow,
all right, this is gonna wile you a little bit
because this hits right here in her backyard. A couple
of strip clubs in downtown Denver. And you would think
that these strip clubs were nicer, right.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I would consider them on the higher end.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, to such scammers, it all seems a little shady
in the strip clubs. It used to be completely different.
But nowadays these managers and these companies that own these
strip clubs, they own a bunch of them, and they
found ways just to rob the dancer's blind. And here's
proof of it. Two differ strip clubs were told they
(10:21):
owned nearly more than fourteen million dollars fourteen million dollars
in restitution and penalties. So these two strip clubs, Diamond
Cabaret and Rick's Cabaret on Stout Street. The determination regarding
the Diamond Cabaret's guess how workers wages were stolen? And
basically they said minimum wage in dinvers seventeen dollars twenty
(10:42):
nine cents, But the Diamond Cabaret paid workers only fourteen
dollars and twenty seven cents. The Diamond has underpaid every
tipped employee by three dollars and two cents per hour,
every hour they have worked for more than two years. Wow,
So start doing a math on that. You started getting
(11:03):
numbers start add.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Up, right, you gotta think there's got to be twenty
people working there, including bouncer security, all that it's any
given three.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Shifts that rotate on the stages of girls and if
you in the other room, So yeah, i'd say there's
closer to thirty forty. Yeah, every tip employee, they they
shorted three thousand and two cents for every hour every
time they worked for more than two years. On top
of that, the auditor's office, it was determined that the
(11:36):
tip the pales in comparison to the club's treatment of
the entertainers. The Diamond misclasses these women paying them nothing,
takes gratuities that they earned for their work, and claims
they have no workplace rights. This is where it gets ugly.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So they're not even getting all their tips.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
No, no, this is what kids. The gratuities include in
eight five dollars house feed that the girls must pay
to work at Diamond Cabaret. Oh so before they start
their shift, they got to dish out eighty five dollars.
They're in the hole already. And remember they're getting paid fourteen.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Dollars an hour instead of the seventeen.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, all right, so they got paid eighty five dollars
house fee to work at the Diamond cabaret, and then
the dancers would be assessed an eight dollars promo fee,
and then they were fined if they were, you know,
violating certain rules. The termination speaks that linked about situations
where workers were tipped hundreds of not thousands of dollars,
(12:41):
and then they were forced to split these tips with
the management. Since twenty twenty two, management have reported significant
They the management the people you know, dressing the nice
suits and hey, Scoop, glad to see you here again
at Rick's Cabaret. We know you like the honeys over
here in this corner. We got your table all ready,
your wine set up. So these customers would give the
(13:03):
managers big tips, and it says in the story each
manager at Diamond reported one hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars
in tips, and basically the managers said they shared their
tips with the dancers. But they never ever did, oh,
never ever did These examples reflect the pattern of assistance
(13:27):
every pay period dating back more than two years. Even
as managers were reported in significant tips, the club was
playing DJ's House Mums. Bartender servers submitimum wage, so they
got hit with this crazy fine. So Rick's Cabaret was
fined one million, five hundred and sixty six thousand, one
hundred and nine nine dollars. Diamond Cabaret was fined one million,
(13:51):
one hundred and forty eight, four hundred and seventy dollars.
And then the Diamond has to pay four point eight
million dollars in restitution to it's employees.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh okay, then.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Rick's Cabaret has to pay six point six million dollars
in restitution to its employees. That total is more than
fourteen million dollars. These sucker fish clubs got to dish
out Wow to the people that work there. Wow, they're
gonna get fat checks and deservedly so yeah. Wow, they've
(14:23):
been mugged up for years.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I mean, eighty five dollars just to have the privilege
of working there and getting up on stage.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
That seems like such a scam.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Then another eight dollars per hour that they're getting charged
for a promo fee, which is probably like the DJ
is saying, coming up on stage four, it's Sapphire, come
on down fire for that hour.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
God, that's crazy, but it shows you how much, dude,
how much you suck a fist due to shell it
out because it's Cody's dude, they're worth millions, man, right,
I mean, it's show you how much they make and
they're just dude, they're just hoovering up harvested money, just
vacuuming up however they can. And the girls are still
getting fat paid too, right, I mean, yeah, this sucks.
(15:12):
Their predicament sucks. They were underpaid and overworked. That all sucks,
but they were still raking. They were still just cashing in.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's hard to feel bad when they're bringing in two
thousand a night, I know, when they could have been
bringing in twenty eight hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I all, life sucks for you. Oh but wow, it
was a scam. It just goes to show you man, dudes, idiots, dudes,
and they're like, I just cares for my last paycheck.
You know what, I know, I got paid for Collins
for you whatever. I mean, Wow, it's a lot of singles, man, singles.
(15:51):
Singles don't get you anything nowadays

and then they were fined if they were, you know,
violating certain rules. The termination speaks that linked about situations
where workers were tipped hundreds of not thousands of dollars,
(12:41):
and then they were forced to split these tips with
the management. Since twenty twenty two, management have reported significant
They the management the people you know, dressing the nice
suits and hey, Scoop, glad to see you here again
at Rick's Cabaret. We know you like the honeys over
here in this corner. We got your table all ready,
your wine set up. So these customers would give the
(13:03):
managers big tips, and it says in the story each
manager at Diamond reported one hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars
in tips, and basically the managers said they shared their
tips with the dancers. But they never ever did, oh,
never ever did These examples reflect the pattern of assistance
(13:27):
every pay period dating back more than two years. Even
as managers were reported in significant tips, the club was
playing DJ's House Mums. Bartender servers submitimum wage, so they
got hit with this crazy fine. So Rick's Cabaret was
fined one million, five hundred and sixty six thousand, one
hundred and nine nine dollars. Diamond Cabaret was fined one million,
(13:51):
one hundred and forty eight, four hundred and seventy dollars.
And then the Diamond has to pay four point eight
million dollars in restitution to it's employees.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh okay, then.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Rick's Cabaret has to pay six point six million dollars
in restitution to its employees. That total is more than
fourteen million dollars. These sucker fish clubs got to dish
out Wow to the people that work there. Wow, they're
gonna get fat checks and deservedly so yeah. Wow, they've
(14:23):
been mugged up for years.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I mean, eighty five dollars just to have the privilege
of working there and getting up on stage.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
That seems like such a scam.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Then another eight dollars per hour that they're getting charged
for a promo fee, which is probably like the DJ
is saying, coming up on stage four, it's Sapphire, come
on down fire for that hour.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
God, that's crazy, but it shows you how much, dude,
how much you suck a fist due to shell it
out because it's Cody's dude, they're worth millions, man, right,
I mean, it's show you how much they make and
they're just dude, they're just hoovering up harvested money, just
vacuuming up however they can. And the girls are still
getting fat paid too, right, I mean, yeah, this sucks.
(15:12):
Their predicament sucks. They were underpaid and overworked. That all sucks,
but they were still raking. They were still just cashing in.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's hard to feel bad when they're bringing in two
thousand a night, I know, when they could have been
bringing in twenty eight hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I all, life sucks for you. Oh but wow, it
was a scam. It just goes to show you man, dudes, idiots, dudes,
and they're like, I just cares for my last paycheck.
You know what, I know, I got paid for Collins
for you whatever. I mean, Wow, it's a lot of singles, man, singles.
(15:51):
Singles don't get you anything nowadays
