my sweet baboo, mister James Monish.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
All right, you're gonna hate this one.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Why would I hate it?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I'm not a hateful person.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Okay. Why do Swedish warships have barcodes painted on the side?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Why do Swedish war ships have bar I don't know.
But it's gonna be bad, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
So when they come in they can scan the navy in.
I don't get it, scan the navy in. Ah, never mind,
Let's try another one. What did the ocean say to
the sailboat? Yeah, that's it. Nothing has just waved. Okay,
there we go. I'm glad that part of the show

(03:55):
is over. Let's go on to the better stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, bad dad jokes about voting, lots of bad dad
jokes about voting. I think this whole thing is a
bad dad joke if you think about it.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh, well, one bad dad was.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Show start.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Let us talk about well, you know what, Let's play.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
A couple of videos. Well and just we won't even pray.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
We're gonna pray.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
We're gonna pray. We're gonna pray. Ladies and gentlemen, let
us pray, Father, God, we lift up our leaders, all
of them. We ask that you embrace this country with
love and wisdom, and we pray that, no matter the outcome,

(04:48):
people's hearts and souls are calm, and that we treat
each other like the beautiful children of God that we are. Father.
No matter the come, please please let it be peaceful,
and let the right man win. And Jesus name Amen.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Nice slip the partisan bit in the end. That okay,
all right, so let's watch this video.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, just might as well talk about the worst dabt
like ever. But let's just play it. I mean, yeah,
just the.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Other day, I speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico
a floating island of garbage. Well, let me tell you
something I don't I don't know the Puerto rican that
that I know, or Puerto Rico where I'm in my
home state of Delaware. They're good, decent, honorable people. The
only garbage I see floating down there is just supporters.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I thought that was pretty clear. Yeah, the only garbage
I see floating out there is his supporters.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Well yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, here's the thing. You must put it in contest.
When he stood in front of those marines with that
red lighting behind him and raised his fists and said
that the Maga Republicans are a threat to democracy, and

(06:29):
he and his ilk have been calling us Nazis, literal Nazis, fascists, insurrectionists,
threats to the very fabric of this country, threats to democracy.
And we're supposed to believe that he ohd go his

(06:50):
his studo Juney Neville had and he just misspoke. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
you don't understand. It's it's punctuation. You just you couldn't
see his punctuation. We're supposed to believe that's what was
in his heart. No, No, I am a tinfoil hat
wearing conspiracy theorist, Nazi, Nazi Jew hater by the way, Nazi.

(07:17):
But then I'm prone Israel, so that makes me a
Jew loving Nazi. I'm totally confused right now. And I
want peace in the world, which makes me a fascist,
and freedom of speech, and I want to obey the constitution,

(07:38):
which makes me an anti constitutional insurrectionist. It's like these people,
they don't even believe what they're saying.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
How can they when they keep contradicting themselves.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well there's that, but they're also finger pointing name callers.
And yes, I just pointed my finger and called him
a name collar. So yeah, he did say that I'm garbage.
And you know what, even if he didn't, I get
to play their game. I get to play their game
because of anybody, even so much as In fact, this
whole thing came around because a comedian who was warming

(08:13):
up the crowd seven hours before Trump even took the
stage said in a joke that there is a floating
island of garbage in the Pacific, which there is, and

(08:35):
he actually is a person who's really obsessed about that
and wants to clean it up. And the joke was that, oh,
I think it's Puerto Rico. He didn't say, oh I
think it's made up of Puerto Rican people. He did
not say that. He said, the floating island of garbage
is Puerto Rico. Now, let's look at Puerto Rico. Let's

(08:56):
look at Puerto Rico. Where did that joke come from?
It came from truth, and it has nothing to do
with Puerto Rican people, especially the pretty, pretty princesses that
are here on the mainland, because yes, Puerto Rico is
part of America that are here on the mainland in

(09:18):
their mansions in New York and LA and all the
nice white areas that they live in that are pretending
like they're upset. No, it has nothing to do with
the people. And by the way, little miss over Botox,
big booty broad, if you're so upset about it, why

(09:40):
don't you take some of your millions of dollars from
your B grade acting and your meh music career and
go help your people, as you called them, fix it.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
That's a good question. She's talking about j Lo I think.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, well she could not. They had to tell me
who she was because she has she madonned her face.
She is unrecognizable.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
That was one of the.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Most beautiful women on the planet and she messed it up.
I don't understand why people do this to themselves. It's
it's I I actually, you know, if she wasn't being
such a garbage person right now. Yeah, she's been a
garbage person right now. But it has nothing to do
with her being Puerto Rican because she's lying. I feel

(10:39):
sorry for her because that is botched. I don't know
what the heck that is. But she she's got these
giant apple cheeks. She looks like that creature from Saw.
I don't know what the heck she is. Anyways, we
were joking about punctuation. She this is is the copium

(11:02):
that that they're trying to use? Did Biden call Trump
supporters garbage? It comes down to an apostrophe? Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Does it doesn't? Really?

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Does it come down to an apostop Does it? Does
it really? I mean, why don't you go ahead and
read a little bit about this, because it's it's laughable,
all right?

Speaker 1 (11:23):
For yours. Republicans have strained to recreate the political magic
that was Hillary Clinton's Basket of Deplorables comment.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Well, everybody knows why why have we strained to recreate that?
Why would we want to recreate? Never mind?

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Because it led to her. It was one of the
things that led to her downfall.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
It didn't lead to your downfall. We actually used it,
We embraced it.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Republican's latest entry on the eve of the twenty twenty
four campaign. President Joe Biden's garbage comment Tuesday night is
more plausible than most of their hope for deplorables moment.
This is the by the way, this is the Washington
Post Democracy Dies.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
In Darkness, specifically written by dork hit this one because
it is so repugnantly biased it's comical. So I specifically
picked this one because it's actually comical in how biased
it is.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
It's still not nearly as iron clad as Clinton's comments
and Biden's increasing intent Oh I'm turning into Bob oh
No intending. The tendency to stumble over his words, which
mark these very comments, makes it entirely plausible that he
didn't intend to tar large numbers of Trump supporters, as
he soon clarified that he hadn't. Okay, this is the
same guy who, like you just said, a few minutes ago,

(12:36):
in an almost Nazi Germany like setting, talked about the
mega Republicans being a threat to democracy.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
He's also the same guy that has on numerous occasions
threatened violence against the former president and who to give
and threatened violence toward us and said that anybody who
supports him is an insurrectionist and a Nazi. I mean,
how anti Israel, how anti how anti Semitic? Do you

(13:09):
have to be to turn the world's were well not no,
not even the world's worst because he has nothing over
over commies, but one of one of the world's worst
genocidal maniacs, and turn him into a Oh, you're a
poopy head. Because that's basically what they've done. Anytime, they

(13:32):
can't come up with anything original, they don't have any
other ideas, they can't come back with policy, they can't
make a cohesive adult argument, so they've invoked Hitler, Adolf Hitler,
and basically dummied him down to, well, my daddy can
beat up your daddy, and you're a poopy head. They've

(13:54):
they've completely just basically erased history for their their political ineptity.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
On on behalf of the six million Jews who were
executed by by Hitler. You know, just shut up, Joe. Anyway,
this is this is this is the Washington Post stretching
really really much comments. And let's see, it may come
down to the placement of apostrophe and it's worth a parse.
It really isn't. But let's go ahead for the sake

(14:25):
of argument, skipping ahead the key line. I'll offer the ie,
the the the so called writer from a so called
newspaper called the Washington Post. I will offer three different
versions which significantly change Biden's meaning, with the key part bolded,
and I will say the bold in this voice, so
you know what I'm talking about. The only garbage icee

(14:45):
floating out there is his supporters, his his demonization of
Latinos is unconscionable and sun American.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Okay, But but here there's a tiny, tiny little problem here.
What's We have the video, so we know what was emphasized, but.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
You know they're also saying the only garbage I see
floating out there is his supporters with the apostrophe at
the end.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Of it, where's Victor Borg.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
You know we're going to have to ask the only
garbage the third was the only garbage I see floating
out there is his supporter apostrophy s his which would
narrow it down to the stand up comic. Honestly, he
meant the first thing. It was clear, it was.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Obvious, and it's on video, and I'm tired of it.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
I'm just I am. No matter how it turns out,
on Tuesday, I will be thanking the Good Lord above.
And yes, I know we just prayed that Biden is
no longer in power power since you know what I mean,
he was.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Installed like a cheap toilet. He hasn't been in power.
The guy has been about eight years before he even
ran I know.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
But what I'm saying is, you know he won't he
will just I won't have We won't have to deal.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
With him on a day, so we don't have to
deal with.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
And find out about that. But anyway, I don't even
want to read the rest of this, just going on
and on and on.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
The entire reason he made that comment is because they
took a joke talking about a real problem and said
that the joke was about the people, and it wasn't.
So they changed the meaning of the joke so that

(16:42):
they could insult us, and then change the meaning of
that insult, and you know what, they can go straight
to that garbage pile floating in the Pacific. And I'm
not talking Puerto Rico. So so let's look at where
this joke came from.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
This is an amazing foll Puerto Rico.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Is indeed a floating island of garbage. They have a
garbage problem. And instead of whining about it, j Lo,
instead of complaining about it and pretending that your soul upset,
Why don't you take your millions of dollars and help
these people? And I think Trump should fix it the

(17:26):
minute he gets in office. He needs to help them
figure this out, because this is ridiculous. People shouldn't be
living like this, and.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
That the other article you you had stashed here, that
the first photo is just disgusting and scary.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
This one here, the next one.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
The next one.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
But I mean, yeah, yes, this is what the island
of Puerto Rico looks like. And yes that is a golt,
and no, that golt is not going to be able
to eat all that garbage there. They don't recycle at all.
Their landfills are taking over the entire islands. They have
a trash problem. They are a trash island and it

(18:05):
has nothing to do with the people. And if you
really are upset about this, then you need to fix it,
not whine about how your butt hurt in their favor,
like you're doing it for Wait to White Night. These
people who just need help, Let's let's teach them some recycling.

(18:27):
Let's clear out their their landfills. Is there a solution? Yeah,
The EPA Caribbean Environmental Protection Division is assisting we need
to fix this, not whine that somebody made a the
whole thing about comedy. And remember this guy, he he's

(18:49):
the type of comic that you invite to a roast,
that's his gig. You're mad at him that he did
what he does. Remember it's seven hours before Trump took
the stage, and yet there's saying Trump said it. That's
how stra many people are.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
It's ridiculous and.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Coming from the mouths of people who have literally called
us Nazis and racists and insurrectionists, and I mean on
and on and on. Yeah, I'm going to take him literally,
and I think it's fully my right. All bets are off,
big boy, all bets are off, just like that that

(19:30):
pro Hamas jerk that got all upset when somebody said,
you know, I hope your pager doesn't go off, and said, oh,
you want me to die? You want me to die?
Did you not hear that doesn't? Does not? As in
I don't want you to die.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Well, by the way, I wanted to point out something else,
a kind of indicator. One of these articles that you're
showing is from twenty twenty two. The other one is
from October of twenty twenty four. In other words, nothing
has been done.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Not a bloody not a thing.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
And and I think that's that says more than some
stand up comics silly little joke about Puerto Rico, the land,
not the people. They pulled the same stuff with the
China Rome.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Hold on, hold on, now, we care so much about
Puto Rico that we were aware of this twenty twenty two.
Who's president in twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Two, some old geezer.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Okay, and it's now twenty twenty four, and who are
we pretending is still president?

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Some old geezer, same guy, and he is.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
On their behalf upset that somebody pointed out the problem
that he has not lifted a finger to fix. Nope, okay,
just checking, just checking, just checking, Thank you for checking.
So how did the evil, evil, evil Orange Man react

(21:03):
to this? Wellpic trolling, epic trolling troll level one, thou.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
How do you like my garbage truck?

Speaker 5 (21:15):
This truck is an honor of Kamala and Joe Biden,
and I think two hundred and fifty million people in
this country are going to be very happy because we're
going to bring the country back. We're a nation in decline,
very very serious decline, and we're going to bring our
country back.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
He also said that he's going to fix the trash
problem in Puerto Rico. So I think a lot of
good is going to come out of this, even if
we don't get the rightful president back in office. I
think that because there's been so much attention drawn to
this that people who are capable of reading. It's not
a whole lot of Democrats, but those who are now
aware of this, I think there's going to be a

(21:53):
push to help Puerto Rico get this fixed.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
That should that shouldn't even come to this, That should
have been done. It's just as a natural part of
administration administrating.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Well, yeah, I mean they keep reminding us over and
over they're part of America. They're part of America. They're
part of America. Great, groovy, wonderful, fantastic. Let's fix this.
The same with Haiti. Let's fix this. This is ridiculous.
Why are we bringing everybody over here? Why don't we
go over there and make things better instead of worse. No,
we're so busy out there starting wars and tearing things

(22:23):
down and then bringing them over here. That's not how
you fix things. The whole time I worked in World Vision,
we had to constantly deal with God. I just want
to go over there and I just want to wrap
these children in my arms. I want to bring them
here and I want to give them a better life, right,
And that's what you want to do. Just like when
you go to the pound. You know, you see all
the dogs and cats that these loving homes. You want
to bring them all home with you, But you can't.

(22:44):
You can't do that. First of all, it'll make your
home worse trashy, not because of the dogs and cats,
and not because of the children or whatever, but because
you just don't have enough room and resources to take
care of them. And two, you can't rip them away
from everything that they know, from their culture, from their parents,
from their grandparents, their great grandparents, their history, their land.

(23:05):
You've got to go in and fix the root of
the problem, which is what Kamala promise she was going
to do. But she hasn't lifted a perfectly manicured finger
to do anything for anyone at all.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Ever, she's still got two and a half months.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
If she could get her legs out of the air
for five seconds, I bet you she could get a
lot accomplished. But no, she's too busy sleeping her way
into high positions that she doesn't deserve, that she doesn't
get elected into. And ladies and gentlemen, if she is
installed as the president of the United States is not
because she got the votes. And we know that because

(23:43):
they're priming us for it. They're telling us, Oh, golly,
g willakers, we're not going to know what the vote
count is on the night of.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
It even gets even better.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh, it gets even better, it gets much better. But
before we move on to how much better it's already gotten,
there's another video I'd like to play because it's hilarious
because they're calling that truck garbage Force one. And you know,
say what you will about you know, us tinfoil hat

(24:14):
wearing conspiracy theorist Zionist Nazis here, we can.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
Mean, there's one thing we can do withah.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
So this is the gentleman who actually drove the garbage truck.
And what a sweet, decent, just American. You gotta go
stick the dog on the squirrel that's in the bird
feeder right now. We'll have a story about squirrels later,
but chasing the squirrels off the bird feeder is one
thing I don't wish ill on the squirrel other than

(24:45):
he needs to be off the bird feeder.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
All right.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
So this is what this American guy had to say
about his experience direct experience with Trump and the vague even.

Speaker 8 (24:58):
People reach out. You got to jump on here and
just let everybody know that was me driving President Trump's
garbage truck. There's me with Vivid right there. But I
gotta say it was an honor and a privilege to
drive garbage force one. President Trump is just a normal
everyday guy. He hopped in no problem. He looked at me,

(25:21):
he said, give me one of these right here, and
we don't have one of these. We have one of
those who I'm hopped a couple of times.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
And he laughed.

Speaker 8 (25:28):
He said, how about we take this bad boy through
McDonald's And I said, sir, I don't think she'll fit
in the drive through. He said, it's all right. I
used to work there. And he turned to me and
he said something and I'm getting chills just thinking about it.
He said, this is really sticking it to Joe Biden.
I said, yes, sir, it is. So Joe can consider

(25:51):
this a message to you because you called us garbage
in order to prove that we aren't garbage. We got
a truck that hauls garbage. Does that sound like something
garbage to do would be to drive around in a
truck that hauls garbage? I don't think so. You made
a mistake, Joe. You can't call a group of people
garbage unless it's meant to be funny. And in that case,

(26:13):
those people need to stop being so soft, maybe get
a sense of humor. But if you call me garbage,
that's offensive and you should consider what it's like for
people's feelings to hear that. You might as well call

(26:34):
me Oscar the grouse because you don't miss me off, Joe.
And if being a patriot is what they're calling garbage
these days, then yeah, I am garbage because I'm gonna
show up to the polls wearing a garbage bag to
show you what us white trash can do. And they're
gonna rename election day garbage Day because we're gonna be

(26:56):
taking out the trash, which is you, even though I'll
be the one wearing the garbage bag.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
He got emotional, He got emotional.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Well, nobody likes being called garbage.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
It's it's well what I love about this guy. Those
of us who have been really paying attention to all
of this were used to it. I get the feeling
that he is just a hard working American who hasn't
gotten involved in politics, and hasn't been watching the news,

(27:35):
and hasn't been completely brainwashed by, you know, all this nonsense.
And when he heard that from who he thought was
the actual sitting president of the United States, and that
man looked into the camera and called him a voter garbage,
that actually hurt him because he'd never heard talk like

(27:56):
that before, and he didn't know. That's how the Democrats
see us, They even see their own voters. I mean,
they're out there saying, if you don't vote for Kamala,
even if you're a Democrat, even if you've always vote
a Democrat, even if you voted for Obama, if you
don't vote for her, you're a misogynist, You're a racist.
It's like, no, you're just somebody who has two brain

(28:16):
cells to rub together. And you see someone who's inexperienced,
a diversity higher who doesn't know what the heck she's doing,
who will make everything worse, who loves communist ideas and
is a puppet and can't even be genuine long enough

(28:37):
to do a speech in her own native language. She
has to affect these ridiculous accents. I mean, it's bad
enough that we're seeing Kamala going to you know, like
a black barber shop, which you know, I'm sure that
the men at barbershops really want a woman to come
in and take over the conversation. I'm sure that was

(28:57):
a big hit. I'm sure that's why men hang out
at men's barbershops where women don't go, so that women
can come in and you know, cackle over the top
of them. But she's in there, she's like, yo, yo homie, Hey,
i'd be sick, and you know i'd be you know.
And then she gets in front of Hispanics and oh
now she's got an Hispanic accent. Then you know, she

(29:20):
she'll go to you know, I know, I know where
you're going to go all over America. Oh now i'd
be talking to you like this, you know, go to Canada,
God knows where. I mean, can you just see her
going up and well, no, she already did affect a
French accent when she was in France. She actually did,
you know, So then she goes to English, She's like, eh,
Pi pi Jerry jump. You know, she is an embarrassment

(29:45):
to her party, to herself, to her races plural, to
her gender, my gender, to our country. She is an embarrassment.
And I get the feeling that she doesn't even really
want to be there, because she doesn't even really try.

(30:08):
I mean, if you have to surround yourself with all
of the all of the rejects from a diddy party,
I mean, let's just call a spade a spade. And no,
that's not a racist thing, that's just you're calling this. Well, okay,
I'll tell you what. I'm going to change garden utensils.
Let's call a ho.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
I'm sitting here, I say nothing. I sit here and
I say nothing.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Anyway, We're just trying to have fun, folks.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
I'm trying.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
I'm really trying not to be mad. I really am.
But how can you not be mad in the face
of just her getting up there and lying and just
absolute bald face looking you in the eyes and lying
and not just stretching the truth, but just fabricating stuff

(31:07):
out of thin air like Project twenty twenty five or that.
I mean, those tiktoks that are going around like, oh,
did I get too political? My bad. I'm just worried
about having all my rights revoked. What, I'm just worried
about not having birth control? What? And they're just coming

(31:30):
up with the absolute most asinine, ridiculous, not just false,
but just insane things that nobody has said at all
ever and pretending like it's real. And I don't know why.
I'm so surprised, because we're talking about the party that
believes that men can have babies, and that full grown

(31:55):
Frank's and beans having guys can go to women's locker
rooms and peete in women's sports. These people are crazy,
and I'm not saying that as an insult. It is
an actual fact. There have been studies. I think it's

(32:18):
sixty to seventy maybe even eighty percent. Don't quote me
because I'm just freeballing here, but I know it's above
sixty percent. Of these people are literally clinically insane. And
I'm not saying that as an insult. There's I can
find it crowd or has it literally diagnosed with some

(32:40):
sort of mental illness. And these are the people that
you want in charge of the most powerful nation on
the planet.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Well, you know some people are genetically engineered to vote
along party lines. It's just how gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Blown away anyways. We don't have to worry about any
of that, though, because she's already won.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Apparently. Look at this. During a Formula one race, the
Pennsylvania news station showed election test results of Vice President
Kamala Harris winning the state. By the way, this is
not November fifth yet. W nep A Scranton wilkes Bury

(33:27):
based television news station explained to the statement that test
results in quote showing Kamala Harris receiving fifty two percent
and former President Donald Trump receiving forty seven percent had
quote mistakenly appeared on w NEPTV.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
And mistakenly appeared Sunday night.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
The news station explained that numbers had been randomly generated
white out to help news organizations make sure their equipment
is working properly. Yes, somebody's equipment was not working properly.
Test results the upcoming November fifth general election and mistakenly
appeared on WNP early Sunday evening during a broadcast the

(34:07):
Formula one Mexico Grand Prix. The news station said those
numbers should not have appeared on the screen. It was
an error by a WNP that they did. I will
say one thing. If the results show up in Pennsylvania
being fifty two forty seven, first of all, not gonna happen.
He's gonna take Pennsylvania. But yeah, but what.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
I love is they reported that's when that happened.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Many people took the social media to criticize the new station.
While This pointed out this obviously test data, noting that
Pennsylvania Republican Senate Canada Dave McCormick's check mark wasn't even right.
Sig Mark Mitchell's, the head polster with Rasmussen Reports, wrote
in a post on x this obviously test outa plugged

(34:54):
in by an idiot. McCormick check mark isn't even right.
A Harris five percent Pennsylvania win be Venezuela, like, yeah,
it's going to be, and I think pen is going
to go for Trump.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
So yeah, But anyway, because it's forty seven forty six,
But point that is tight. I don't understand why it's
so tight. You've got an inept cackling.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
I just explained it genetically engineered to vote Democrat.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
That's so pathetical.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
I know, I know, I.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Usually cover up the right side of articles because there's
a bunch of garbage over there, But this is so funny.
The most popular article lot for Harris endorsement. Go screw
another nanny?

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yeah those those freedom what I screw my nomme?

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah sorry Freedham Swartzenegger. Yeah, so we want you to
be the backer of just it's always.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
It's all of the worst rhinos that are that are
backing up.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
I mean, like as of having Liz Cheney or Dick
Cheney backing you up is a good thing, how can
that be a good thing? Or or one of one
of W's twin dipsticks. But you know there their vote
behind I mean, yeah, we got Bushes and Cheney's supporting Kamala.

(36:21):
That's you warmonger, warmongering dipsticks. I'm being very careful.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
About my war wongering walrus back her too on him. Yeah,
he wasn't wrong though, because all of us were scratching
our heads. Why would you put Bolton back? Oh, because
he's such a war mongering psychopath that you used him

(36:50):
to scare the daylights and it worked. Well, they're pretending
he's cozying dictators. Well, you know, all that cozy and
gotta world peace, you jerks. We had world peace in
the Middle East, wars were winding down, we got the
Abraham Accords, and you're whining that he did that. Are

(37:13):
you listening to yourselves? I mean, seriously, are you listening
to yourselves cozy enough to dictators? So let's do something fun.
Let's let's let's let's do let's let's clean the palette,
as they say, all right, so you're not allowed to look.

(37:36):
You're not looking, all right. Apparently we're old geezers and
we don't understand that our fellow kids slang and we
know we know that, uh we know that. What are
you calling them? Cackles and fudd They've been trying to
do the hello fellow kids thing, you know. Oh she's

(37:57):
brat and all this nonsense. So let's see no, no, no, no, no,
no name Colleen.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry. We are better than that, We
are above that.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yes, when we go low, she goes down, When we
go high, she gets high. All right. See, okay, say
we're not calling names like it is anyways, So they've
been trying. I mean, remember, folks, she's sixty and not
saying that's old because Jim's almost sixty as well, and

(38:29):
I have a birthday on Thursday? Did I remind everybody
that all I want for my birthday cheap groceries, cheap gas,
world peace, and mean tweets anyway or ex posts as
their gold. Now, let's look at the new words of
twenty twenty four and see if there are any that

(38:51):
we even No. I'm gonna quiz Jim because I'm a
hip youngster. He's totally onto these words.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Just stopped at hippie. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
I didn't say hippie.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
You said hippie youngster.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
So I did not say hippie, I know, but I
just grabbed.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
The e at the beginning of youngster. Oh and so yeah, anyway,
keep going that.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
That's like adding the in front of bomb because you
just don't know any better. Yeah, all right, excuse me
while I take my vitamins. Has your four been caps? What?
Have you been plagued by? Too many skibbitty videos? Are
you too stigmatic? Hare if your pream thinks you're demure?

(39:36):
Did any of that make sense to you?

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Not a bit?

Speaker 2 (39:39):
But okay, this will be fun then. So these are
the tones made popular online that maneapolist are the most
searched for slang words in the US this year, according
to analysis. Unscrambler. Oh, I love unscrambler. I use them
all the time to try to figure out what the
heck the word is that I'm trying to figure out. Okay, please,
that made a lot of sense, the word none at all.

(40:00):
So news Week has rounded up the most popular from
unscramblers list and put the definitions into a quiz. So
we are going to take zik who is? So I'm
not gonna read all the garbage that they have here. Okay,
So the top most search for slang words demure, sigma,
SCIBITTI talk tua Sadly, I know what that one is,

(40:24):
sobroquet schmaltz, really schmaltz. That's been around as long as
I've been alive. They must have changed the word like
they did with bad and fat, send cats, ovule, and preen. Okay,
I am going to say that I recognize about fifty percent.
So let's see how Jim does and Jesus kien. So

(40:47):
what does demure mean? Choose one of the following to
cut off a conversation abruptly, usually when someone over shares
the act of subtly boosting one's own image on social
media without being too overt or to be considerate kind
of mindful with one's appearance and actions. The second one, Yeah,

(41:09):
all right, you submit these one at a time? Was anyway? Okay?
You are wrong?

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Okay? What does it mean.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
To be considered it? Kind of mindful with one's appearance
and actions, which it always.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Did mean that's why. Okay, that must have threw me off.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Yeah, me too. So apparently if you use the word
as it's the word it actually is, then okay. What
does sigma mean? An independent, self reliant person who exists
outside of traditional social hierarchies, A solo traveler who have
scores paces places off the beaten path, or the ultimate
multitasker who excels at work and personal projects simultaneously.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Ultimate hacker dude number three, number three.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
See I don't like any of those, because when I've
heard sigma, it means, okay, it is an independent, self
relied person who exists outside of traditional social hierarchies. Number one,
So boom, so.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Far you're O for two?

Speaker 2 (42:11):
What does skip pity mean? What would help those? If
you could hear any fell k I B I d
I skiby. Actually you could probably look at this. You
can look at the screen because I haven't picked them yet,
So feel free to look at the screen if you
can put your glasses on, old man and see them.

(42:32):
Here he comes, all right, here he comes very justly.
Moving the microphone.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
An online trend involving skipping meetings or obligations. Last minute,
an internet trend that features surreal animated videos used for
nonsensical conversations and viral videos. An internet trend of celebratory
dance videos on TikTok move that involves waving one's hands
like skis. Okay, waving one sounds like skis, sounds like bolooney,

(42:59):
I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go ahead and do
number two metal duels.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Yay, you got on yay for three hop t now
this one. Everybody knows how to number two?

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Skipping that one. Thanks, have a nice day.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
That's Kammas's entire, sorry, entire platform.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Sober cut. Well, I mean a generic term for a
nickname or descriptive name. That's what it means. That's what
it actually in fact means. So I'm going with that one,
all right, yay.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
So they're actually using the word for what it actually means.
So two for I don't know, schmaltz now it's always
meant excessive sentiment, mentality or melodrama. Yeah, so do you
think they're still using it for this same thing?

Speaker 1 (44:01):
I will put in a a plug for a sandwich
shop here in Waco called Schmaltz's, and they're quite good.
That haven't been said. Yeah, they have their their signature
sandwich which is luncheon meat and spam, salami and a

(44:24):
couple of other types of meat, lettuce, tomato, and some
saucetile is. Oh, I got good, So I'm gonna do that.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
I think the grilled cheese like not just grilled cheese.
It was Hello and grilled cheese pretty much.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Okay, I'm gonna say excessive sentimentality, meloderm because that's what
schmaltz actually means.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Yay, Okay, So some of these kids aren't no, you know,
messed up sen.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Significant other, another sibling or refer to yourself. Okay, I'm
use the I also going to go with signfic togethers s.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
That would be I'm assuming it it's Japanese and you've
been to Japan.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
It has nothing to do with that, but significant other.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Right, cats. Something enjoyable, fun, pleasing, and positive can mean yes,
something boring not enjoyable, and negative can mean no. Something
you are ambivalent to of average entertainment fine, but not
pleasant can mean maybe.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
I'd say the third one.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
That's I'm voting on the third one too. I don't know. Oh,
it means positive.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
That's the cats, yo, Frank, is the cats.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
What does you mean? The complete works produced by an artist?
A large outdoor nature area, the signature thing someone is
known for creating the.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Complete works produced by an artist.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Okay, I'm going for number three, but I'm going to
go with your answer because you're the one playing, and
you're right.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
I am right, you are right.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
What does prene to mean? Well, that means to clean
your feathers. A child who tries to act like a teenager,
A teenager who tries to act like a child. An
adult who tries to act like a teenager.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Oh boy, I would say pre because pretend team. That's
what I'm gonna go. Adult who tries to act like
a teenager.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
That's actually really good logic, And you are wrong. It's
a child who tries to act like a teenager.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Wow, it says perfect score, you're a wizarding genius. Not
how do I have a perfect.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Sid I didn't have a perfect score. I'm totally okay.
They just they just like the last ten minutes have
been meaningless.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Now to cut off a conversation abruptly as demure, which
I just did. Wait, but demure is an adjective, so
how can you use it as a verb.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
This is America in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Almost Yeah, you fail. I mean they made the thing
termed colors. So I'm just gonna go with what. Okay,
So we got one, two, three, four, five, five out

(47:10):
of ten fifty percent as I predicted. There you go,
I predicted fifty percent. All right, route okay, a little
bit of fun. But let's head into.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Well before that, drop everything.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Oh oh, what a good idea. We should We should
do that. Drop everything, ladies and gentlemen and like share
subscribe to all the things. If you're listening to this
on any of the other podcasty places you know where
you can leave reviews, say, like on the Apple thingy,

(47:51):
here's here's the thing you can give us, say forty
five million. No, let's do eighty one million like stars,
eighty one million stars, let's do that one for one star.
For every Trump voter that is out there that will
vote him in. Give us eighty one million stars. And

(48:14):
if you're not enjoying this show, don't we give us
the equivalent of a two penny tip. You know, it's
more insulting than if you don't leave a tip at all,
So make it hurt like five stars. I mean, that's
just insulting and nasty and rude, and we will get
the message. So either give us eighty one million stars

(48:36):
because you love us, or just a paltry five stars.
We will get the message and we will change our ways.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
We will.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
If you have anything that you must get off your chest,
head on over to counterculture as dig in and let
us know how you feel. We have a form, it's
called the ID ten T form. You can fill it out.
There's a box in there where you can tell it's
exactly what we need to fix, and we will give
the attention that it deserves.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Meanwhile, if you'd like to support this show, since we
get block kiss for doing this, we're doing this just
from the love in our hearts. Absolutely, head on over
to account of Goldus, where you can directly send us
a tip. You can buy our crap, you can subscribe
to stuff. There's all kinds of different things. There's even
some things that will help you help yourself. So we'll

(49:27):
be adding more and more of those things as we go,
and we appreciate you doing that. Also, make sure you
check back often because we post throughout the week interviews,
really awesome interviews that are coming up. We've of course
got the Holy crap this is actually happening segment, which
has its own channel, but we also posted elsewhere, and
every now and then we'll just toss up something because

(49:48):
we're in a mood. So yeah, true, make sure you
subscribe wherever you're at so that you are informed. When
we feel like doing something, you'll find out. And now, Melanie,
I'm famous for my rants. I am, and I came

(50:12):
across one today he was today, right, Yeah, so Jim
and I. Yes, So Jim and I we do the
I've been doing wordle now for several years and Jim
had never done word little before and I showed it
to him, and he's a word guy. We play scrabble
and do all the things. Works with friends and all that,
and he he now is addicted to wordles. So during

(50:34):
the time when he was looking for the job, and
even now that he's got his own office and everything,
we have this friendly little competition where we'll do the
wordle and we'll do connections, and we'll do the New
York Times mini crossroom right where it's timed and you're
supposed to see, you know how much. Okay, First of all,
my first complaint. They keep asking questions that have to

(50:56):
do with shoes. Why are they obsessed with shoes? I
don't get that, So I never get those answers. I
always have to look them up. You know, what is
the strap on it? Okay? I happen to know the
flip flop one because when I was a kid, we
called them thongs. That's the only reason I knew that one.
But when you're asking me for name brands or what
they're made out of or what foot they go, and
I don't know. I don't wear shoes, leave me alone.

(51:17):
Stop it. But they also ask a bunch of stuff
about stars, current TV whatever. I never get those either,
But usually you can figure out the rest of them,
or you know, fill in the letters because you know
all the other ones. So I'll go through and I'll
do all the ones I know, and then I'll come
back and I'm like, I have no clue, but maybe
if I get this one of this one, then I
can kind of mess with the letters until I get

(51:39):
one that fits. And then sometimes I just have to
look them up. So today one of them was what
the E in the minemic, never eat shredded wheat stands for.
And I'm like, Okay, I went through all of them. Kings,

(51:59):
play chests on fat girl's stomachs, never fear ice cold beer.
And I'm going through all the ones I know from chemistry,
from math, you know, pem doss and on and on
and on. Please excuse my dear, and Sally, you know,
I'm trying to think of what could that possibly be.
I don't recognize that one. And I know most of them.

(52:20):
I've even invented some of them, like some mult hippie
caught another hippie tripping on acid. That's how you remember
signed cosine and tangent. And so I'm going through all
my math, all my science, you know all of it,
and I did not know that one. I'd never heard
that one before. Well, it turns out that never eat

(52:43):
shredded wheat, which, frankly, that's terrible because shredded wheat is
awesome and I love it.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Wheat has been one of my spoon sized shredded wheat
has been one of my favorite cereals. Yeah, Like my
grandma would do.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
This thing where you'd soak it in just a tiny
hot water and then you put brown sugar on it
and then milk and er mugger. Now all I want
is shredded wheat well, and then triscuits are basically shredded
wheat with salt on them, and they're wonderful and divine.
Those we have they're hidden and they're wonderful and divine
and like the perfect cracker, even though you know they

(53:19):
shred your face and the other end as they come out.
But still, why would you not eat redd wheat? So
I don't even understand that to begin with. Okay, So
I finally looked it up and apparently this is what
they're giving to poor children who are learning the cardinal
directions northeast southwest.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Why if you can't remember something as simple as northeast southwest,
you've got bigger problems than eating.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Shredded and it doesn't help because never each shredded wheat
doesn't tell me which direction to point. It doesn't help.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Besides, who goes northeast, south and west? You go north, south,
east west.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
Everybody knows that, well, I think, because they're going in
order of the compass.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Okay, all right, well that's okay, that that.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Will, but that still makes it dumb. You do opposites.
Opposites are easy to remember, and you do them by
using your arms. And I wish I was on video
right now, but you do North. You point your arm up. South,
you point your other arm down. East, you point well,
if you're facing the map, you point left, and west
you are sorry. East you point right. And I'm ambidextrous,

(54:24):
so I get my left and right messed up. So
it wouldn't help me anyway. All I'm saying is growing
up in Washington State, north was Seattle, South was Olympia,
East was the mountains, and west was the water. You know,
you always knew where you were in Nevada. In Las Vegas,

(54:45):
you're screwed. You have to use your There's just no
way there. There is no way you can tell which
way it's north, southeast or west. When you're in Las Vegas,
because it's a giant circle. You just never know where
you're going. But is this not the by far stupidest

(55:06):
it is monomic device like at the history of ever.
It's so dumb and it doesn't help.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Doesn't it all help?

Speaker 2 (55:17):
And shredded wheat is wonderful and we should encourage children
to eat it. So it is wrong on every level imaginable.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
I'm writing the post cereals and letting them know.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
That the ones who came up with it.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
No, no, I'm just letting them know what they need to.
That's what I'm saying. Write them and let them know
they need to sue whoever.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Whoever the morons are that came up with this. You're wrong.
Shredded wheat is wonderful, and north is up, South is down,
West is left, East is right. Moss grows on the
west side of the trees and the sunsets in the
east west. See, you're stupid. Shredded wheat vandemic did not

(55:58):
help me. You made it all worse. Now I'm scarred
for life. And how dare you?

Speaker 1 (56:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (56:08):
That is my ranch for this week. Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you. I'd like to say I'd be
here all week, but I probably will be here all week.
And let's hot head on into.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
Counterculture. Wise is proud to present news of the weird
and wonderful. Here are your hosts, Melanie Hope and Jim Monas. Yay,
all right.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Your turn, yay. Oh see science. We love science here.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Science is good.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
We love shredded wheat. So science end shredded wheat. Now, really,
would you really really want those triskids?

Speaker 1 (56:44):
I want some sugar.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
There shall be trisky wells.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
Though.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
As soon as we're done here, we're going to make
papoosas for a gathering that we're having with friends. And
I made the pickled cabbage stuff that the name I
cannot remember what it's called, but I.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Made some criticism or something ywhere. For many people, prime
numbers have faded in the background since distant grade school days. However,
for Luke Durant, a thirty six year old former Navidia Probodo, great,
that's the cast. Okay, thanks for that made prime numbers

(57:21):
became an all consuming passion. He devoted nearly one year
and invested a considerable sum of his own money to
uncover the world's largest known prime number.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
I was literally just talking with one of my math
students about this this week before this article came out,
because I said, yeah, they're like up in the millions,
well forty one million to be exact.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Wow, Well they gave it a label. Why didn't they
just give it because it's forty one million digit?

Speaker 1 (57:45):
Yeah, that's why if you need a refresher prime numbers
the whole number that can be only divided by one
and itself, such as two, three, five, and seven. Durant's
remarkable discovery, officially called M one three, six, two, seven,
nine eight four one, consists of, like Melanie Hope said,
unastounding forty one thousand, twenty sorry, forty one million, twenty

(58:07):
four thousand, three hundred and twenty digits and marks the
first prime breakthrough in almost six years. Who would need
this anyway, Well, for.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
The reason that we're still calculating pie, I guess.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Unlike other large prime numbers used in Wait a minute, okay,
historic finding is classified as a Mersinne prime, which is
named after the French monk Marin Mersenne, not to be
confused in Marcel Marceau, who uttered the only famous word
in a movie. He wants to know who studied these
numbers more than three hundred fifty years ago. Mersenne primes
are a rare kind of number, making Durantz finding a

(58:43):
fifty second known Mersenne prime even more impressive. A number
is only considered a Marsin prime if it can be
written in the form two P minus one. I had
no idea what that means, of course. Unlike other large
prime numbers used in some applications to protect undernet security,
send primes are important for the reasons. The historical record
of the world's largest prime tells us something about the

(59:05):
historical capability of computers. Okay, I can see that, and
in particular, it tells us something about the progress of
humanity in this area.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
World's largest prime, it's just the next largest that you've discovered.
But that doesn't mean there aren't more in the world.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
Well, yeah, there's going to be others. There's always going.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
To be the largest prime. It's just the largest prime we.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
We're aware of. Yeah, we got a ways to go
before we find another one.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
But I mean maybe, I mean maybe when you start
out you get one, two, three, five. I mean they're
right next to each other.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
So they get farther apart, though yeah, and I've never
seen an article go so long. I mean, there's it does.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
On.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
There's an astounding forty one million, twenty four three hundred
twenty words in this article. Pass that by. But yeah,
I just want to let y'all know that's pretty That
is pretty cool though. That is that is that is amazing.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
That is that is quite cool. And yeah, so I'm
wonder how far we've gotten pie out to and it's
in the I think it's in the hundreds of millions
now that we'll see. But speaking of hundreds of millions,
let's talk about.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
Monkeys miss national novel writing months. So writing that's true
is important. That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
So that old thing about if you had an infinite
number of monkeys typing on an infinite number of typewriters,
you would eventually get Shakespeare, turns out it's debunked. I
always had an idea. I love this picture though.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
Yeah, monkey fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
The infinite monkey theoremist thought the experiment used to explain
some basic principles of probability and randomness. It posits that
a monkey, or an infinite number of monkeys, given a
typewriters and an infinite amount of time, would eventually type
out the complete works of William Shakespeare. Youts mathematic mathematicians
Stephen Woodcock and Jay Filetta or Fayette probably have taken

(01:01:01):
on the thought experiment in a lighthearted research project in
an epic will martially moment. Neither one of them's named Kevin. Okay,
they have crushed the dreams of monkeys everywhere. The infinite
monkey theorem only considers the infinite limit with either an
infinite number of monkeys or an infinite time period of

(01:01:22):
monkey labor. Really, our digeriously, it is clearly outlandish. It's
much more feasible to consider a finite number of monkeys. Duh.
We decided to look at the probability of, given a
given string of letters, being typed by a finite number
of monkeys within a finite time period, consistent with estimates

(01:01:42):
for the lifespan of our universe. He explains, the point
is that monkeys wouldn't have an infinite amount of time
to type out Shakespeare's complete works. That's because the universe
is predicted to end in about ten to the one
hundredth power of years. That's one with one hundred zeros
after it as powers work. In case you did not know.
Woodcock and Fayeta crunched some numbers using computers because I

(01:02:06):
personally like crunching numbers by stomping on them like grapes.
But you use computers, you do you?

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
They assumed an average keyboard with thirty keys they ran,
in other words, coirty. They ran a simulation for a
single monkey, as well as for the current global population
of about two hundred thousand chimpanzees. Yes, chimps aren't strictly monkeys,
but honestly, given the nature of this research, I think
we can let that slide. This is kind of fun.

(01:02:34):
How did the simulated monkeys and apes do. It's possible
they found for a lot a single monkey to type
the word bananas in its own lifetime, a useful skill,
to be sure, But the Bard's entire works eight hundred
and eighty four thousand, six hundred and forty seven words
give or take will almost never be typed by monkeys

(01:02:55):
randomly mashing keys before the universe ends. It is not
plausible that, even with improved typing speeds or an increase
in chimpanzee populations, monkey labor will ever be a viable
tool for developing non trivial written words. The author's right,
why did they go for a lesser ape? Why didn't
they go for like an actual monkey? I'm surprised that

(01:03:17):
they didn't do that. It's because it seems to me
that lesser ape would be more contemplative, whereas just like
a little monkey would be more playful and smacking the
keys more often than It's just me, it's not plausible
that even with improved typing speeds or an increase in chipanzee,
I read that it seems like much ado about nothing cute,

(01:03:37):
But the research does highlight the importance of being earnest, cute,
and remembering the finiteness of things. When discussing possibility, Woodcock says,
this place is the infinite monkey theorem in a group
of probability puzzles and paradoxes. Oh, I love the alliteration.
We're using the idea of infinite resources gives results that

(01:03:59):
don't match up with what we get when we consider
the constraints of our universe. But what have the monkeys
to say about this? Well, actually, in two thousand and two,
researchers at the University of Plymouth in the UK actually
tested the infinite monkey theorems with real monkeys. They left
a computer in the enclosure of six celebes Celebis crusted.

(01:04:23):
Oh my god, mcackys help me. Celebi's crusted. Mccais it's
not the cause, because that's a bird. Macates monkeys. They
were monkeys. Over nearly two months, the monkeys produced a
total of five pages, consisting largely of the letter s.

(01:04:44):
The lead male also hit the machine with the stone
before the rest of the troop urinated and defecated.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
See macaccaus.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
That is literally every writer I have ever worked with
as an editor.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
Sorry, I was looking for the word my cocky is.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Literally every writer. Okay, poetic in its own way, but
not really Romeo and Juliet. The rest is silence. Whoever
wrote this, this was a brilliant good jobs. Go back
up and see. Uh let's see every yazjin well written,
well done. I appreciate that. You know, I used to
subscribe to Cosmos. So what that magazine? Back when magazines

(01:05:33):
were a thing, kids would knock on your door and
sell them to you. So I actually on our website,
I do have the link for the actual study if
you're interested in reading. It's a little bit dry.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
It's very scientific, not as.

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
Not as fun as that article was. But you head
on oor account of cultureise dot com, Well you can
find all the stuff that we're selling and this article
as well.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
Your turn, all right. I was in a show once
called The Unsinkable Molly Brown.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
That's one of my favorite movies, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
The Molly Brown House Museum, a popular destination in Denver,
continues to draw up tens of thousands of visitors each year,
offering a glimpse in the life of Titanic survivor and
philanthropist Margaret Molly Brown. But beyond its historical draw the
museum has a mysterious guest who adds an extra thrill
for visitors. Ghost Cat, an unseen feeline rumored to haunt

(01:06:29):
the Victorian era home. Andrea Malcolm, Historic Denver Vice President
and museum director, shared her own encounters with a spirited tabby.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
How do they know it's a tabby?

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
I think they're just using that as a as just
a generic term for a cat, because it sounds cuter
than just saying cat, cat, cat, over and over again.
Maybe that's how you conjure up the cat, the saying
cat cat. I felt something cold brush against me right
about here, Malcolm said, pointing to her ankle. Well, that's

(01:07:00):
where a cat would be felt. There are plenty of
potential spirits wandering around this home, she added. Guests and
staff alike have reported brushes with a spectral cat, with
sightings particularly frequent in the museum's kitchen. Yes, if you
allude to our cats, this is most often where we see.
People see ghost cat, Malcolm said, point in the kitchen.

(01:07:21):
Maybe he's looking for a special snack or treat to have.
Visitors often report a feline presence. Some even hearing me
outs will come out and say, so, what's the cat's name?
Said Malcolm, And our staff will say, what cat does
the cat that rubbed against my ankle in the kitchen?
Jerry Moore, a visitor from Wisconsin's keep an eye out
for ghost cat. You would think I would see it

(01:07:43):
because cats, for some reason, are attracted to me Ashmore laugh,
though he admits he's allergic to the real life animals.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
That's why they're attracted to him.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
For those who do catch a glimpse of experience is fleeting.
If you see ghost cat, don't expect it to stick around,
Malcolm advised, describing how the feline of apparition quickly vanishes,
and while Malcolm is a proud cat on her herself,
she speculates their own sassy cat likely wouldn't befriend the
ghostly feline. With ghost cats growing fame, the museum has
even launched steam merchandise in its honor. Ah, people love

(01:08:14):
to talk about, Malcolm.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
The best picture they could come up with a cat
with chicken feet.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
I don't know, probably a child's drawing. Hard to say.
People love to talk about, and Malcolm said, noting how
ghost Cat has become a beloved spectral ambassador of the
historic site. As for the origins of the ghost cat,
Malcolm admits to mystery. There were definitely animal lovers, and
there's probably catt here in the house, she said, speaking
of the Brown family. Ghost Cat's legend only adds the

(01:08:40):
allure of the Molly Brown House Museum, preserving a playful
mystery that resonates with history lovers and thrill seekers alike.
As Malcolm puts it, yes, nine afterlives. All the kiddies here.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
Nine afterlives cut all right, good news, good news, very
soon planes will not be dropping out of the sky anymore.
Yay so boeing, Yeah, yeah, yeah, slashes its DEI department.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
Finally.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Now the question is, though, did they get rid of
the DEI department only to replace it with something that
does the same thing, but they call it something different?

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Not according to what I'm reading here?

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
Okay, why is the plane green? Don't know, I've never
seen a green plane. Okay. Machinists are also set to
vote on a contract proposal that will deliver thirty eight
percent waging preece. I would love a five percent waging grease.
A company eye contract with lowered my wages during COVID
and has not ever since raised them. And if you ask,

(01:09:47):
they freak out and tell you, no, you're getting paid
more than anybody here.

Speaker 9 (01:09:51):
No, I'm really not, and I know that because all
of my students' parents complain their race.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Mind didn't mmmmm.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
Bowen dismantle its Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion department on Thursday,
according to a report by Bloomberg. The reports stated staff
from Boeing's DEI office will be combined with another human
resources team. See, they're not going anywhere focus on talent
and employee experience. Today, I turned in my blue badge,
bow And said on her LinkedIn who I don't care.

(01:10:28):
Sarah Bowen, the vice president of six paragraphs.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Long when she's resigning that they are the Boeing vice
president final read.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
Tera bon Bing's vice president department also announced her register
and it's like her title so long, I got bored.
Also announced her registration for registration bad, bad bad resignation
from the company on LinkedIn. That you know what, I
can make this bigger? Check this out?

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
Nope, nope, point there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Hey, look at me.

Speaker 1 (01:11:02):
Look at you. I do it all the time, ah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
On purpose, even sometimes without that weird whooping your eyes
how that often though? Okay, So Sarah Bowen Boeing's I
think it was the bow and Boeing Bowen Boeing, Boeing
vice president leading the DA department, also announced her resignation
from the company on LinkedIn. So she resigned to have
to today, I turned in my blue badge, bowe and

(01:11:26):
said in her LinkedIn post, it has been the privilege
of my lifetime to lead equity, diversity and inclusion at
the Boeing Company these past five plus years, only thousands
of people died because of my efforts. I could have
done better, but they actually made me hire a white
guy every now and then. Our teams strived every day
to support the evolving brilliance and creativity of our workforce,

(01:11:46):
not by hiring the best and the brightest, by hiring
people based on the color of their skin, what was
between their legs, or what they thought might be between
their legs, or what they might get cut off from
between their legs, but not because that they were being
good at what they did. The team achieved so much,
how many doors flew off, how many hinges fell off,

(01:12:08):
how many bolts ons flying out of the sky, how
many times would the landing gear not land? The team
achieved so much, sometimes imperfectly, never easily, and dreamed of
doing so much more. All of it has been worth It.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
Sounds a bit defensive to me in her case.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
Yes, the DEI department is the latest staffing cuts within
the company, as seventeen thousand jobs are reportedly on the
chopping block for layoffs by early next year. Because the
planes keep crashing.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
And you can't do anything about your space station either.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
Oh that's right, and you also leave people stranded and
even has to bail you out. The move comes as
a striking members of the International Associate of Messinash Aerospace
Workers or i AM our scheduled to vote on a
new contract offer Monday of the thirty three we suck,
we put out shoddy work, pay us more. According to
news release from i AM, the new contract proposal will

(01:13:05):
deliver a thirty eight percent wage increase over four years
and a twelve thousand dollars ratification bonus. It also being
State Bones Aeros. But God, these guys get paid up.
Why don't you become a machinist wish I had? Why
did I marry a broken down old marine that doesn't
get paid dutally? Squad? You should be a machinist.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
Way too late for that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Murph. Okay, aerospace, remember.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
Still in Seattle.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Okay, there's that instead of beautiful, fabulous Texas. I don't
want to read anymore because I'm getting a little mifted
how much these guys get paid for doing crappy work
and having the planes fall out of the sky.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
So well, maybe maybe getting rid of the DII department
may affect that positively.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
We'll see, maybe, but it sounds like they just got
cannibalized into another HR department and they're all kind of
the same. Why is the news of the word. I
like this. This one's fun.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
Yeah, this one's fun. The fastest wheelbarrow in the world
is in Central Iowa. John Logrey from Des Moines is
driven his motorized wheelbarrow nearly sixty miles an hour in Mitchellville.
I mean, you see the photos that get your motor run.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
Actually, I got a video. There's no sounds, so I'll
play the video while you read.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
All right, Kseci told you about Lowie's attempt to have
the fast motorized wheelbarrow. Last week. On Saturday, he sped
the three wheeled gardening tool at fifty seven miles an hour,
breaking the Guinness World record for fastest in the world.
The previous record was held in Wales at fifty two
miles an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
I don't think it counts if it's motorized. I think
the fastest wheelbarrow should be people powered.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
It wouldn't be much fun.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
I mean, well, I'm just saying that, what is the
What is the point of a motorized wilburrow. It's not
like you're a fillip full of dirt and drive it
across the yard.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
I don't. I mean, it's just one of those things
you do for goof isn't anything. It's not gonna accomplish anything.

Speaker 2 (01:15:19):
Speaking of things you do for a goof, this is
a cute groof. I like this one. So you apparently
there was a well in hear. I'll see if the storytells,
because sometimes I'll like tell the story, but then the
story tells the story. So let's read the story and
see the story tells the story. You know what I mean?
The backstory, backstory, backstory story, All right, urban pond where

(01:15:41):
goldfish used to swim beneath a leaky New York City
fire hydrant has been replaced by a new makeshift aquarium,
days after the city unceremoniously paved over the old one
do to safety concerns. Did they get the fish out first?

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
You know, New York City is weird about animals. We'll
find out more in a little bit about that, but yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
I'm hoping industrious Brooklyn Knights have taken waterproofliner, bath tiles,
concrete blocks, and gravel and fashioned a new urban pond
in a tree bed next to the now repaired hydrant.
So you basically got this little makeshift pond so cute.
It's all walled off on Friday afternoon roughs. They forty
goldfish were darting. Wow, forty in that time? Little thing? Okay,

(01:16:26):
forty goldfish were darting around the new environs, which were
built Wednesday and featured fake brightly colored plants, stones, and
other aquarium decorations. Surprised, No, Bumma's peed in it?

Speaker 7 (01:16:36):
Or well, yeah it's cute though, stop bus is so cool.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
Local residents that helped manage the ponds and volunteers soon
hope to outfit the paium with solar powered filtration system
to replace the current battery powered one. They also need
to acquire a heating system before winter sets in, and
have visions of setting up a live stream so their
admirers worldwide can tune in cute the so called.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
Bedstey sty Bedford.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
Okay, then yeah, you're not gonna explain that. You're just
going to cuss.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
That's the name of the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
Is searchable on Google Maps and has its own Instagram
and on Google Maps, and has its own Instagram and
TikTok accounts managed by Shaw and other residence but the
forty four year old architect lamented that the aquarium had
been easier to manage under the leaky hydrant. The steady
stream from the hydrant had provided a constant source of
fresh water, so a filter system wasn't really needed, he explained.

(01:17:39):
They seemed happier over there, Shaw said, gesturing to the
hydrant surrounded by a now pristine slab of concrete. Passers
by watched intently as he sprinkled fish food into the water,
cleared out fallen leaves, and took water quality readings. Wow,
they're really into this, Shaw said. It's the fourth incarnation
of Gorilla Pond, which originally formed on the leaky hydrant,

(01:18:00):
carved out a shallow pool in broken concrete, prompting residents
to fill it with store bought goldfish. People concerned about
the welfare of the fish staged a rescue over the summer,
but resolute residents restocked the pool and set up a watch.
The site has only grown more elaborate, with painted benches
and chairs and decorations. It's actually become like a little
park where they gather. That's so true. There's even a

(01:18:23):
sign designed to look like an official New York City
Parks Department flack of fixed to the tree that reads
Bedstie aquarium. Okay, that is so huge.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
That is cute.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
That is really cute. I like it when when neighborhoods
get together and do fun things like that, so it's
nice to know that it happens even in New York.

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
This one was in the running for Wonderfulers, so it's
a really cool story. Okay, A roofer who fixed an animal.
A roofer who fixed it, fixed a man. You're doing
off of the roof roof A roof of whof fixed
the rescue shelter's barn roof for free. Says he was

(01:19:05):
inspired after meeting a worker in a hospital who was
in agony but was more concerned for her animals. The
team at Coppershell Animal Rescue at Gastard in Wiltshire were
struggling to find twenty thousand pounds to replace their leaking
barn roof. Matt a Court from the sanctuary said he
was extremely grateful for the help. Stuart Weston said donating

(01:19:26):
his time and sourcing materials for free seemed the right
thing to do. I don't normally do this. I met
the shelter's trustee, Kenna at the Royal United Hospital in Bathleom.
My wife was rushed to the hospital earlier this year,
she mentioned the barn roof needed fixing. She was in agony,
but was more concerned about the animals than herself. Mister
Weston said stripping the old roof and installing the new

(01:19:46):
panels on the bar took a week to complete. I've
got a thing about karma. I believe if you do
something right for people, it'll come back to you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
I wants.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
I wants won fifty five thousand pounds on a football
belt a football bet after helping an old lady across
the world road.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
Mister Weston has been back to visit the animal shelters
are related, but I don't think they are.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
Three times since their parents said he expects he will
be friends with the team for a long time. Mister
Court said their repair job was something shelter would never
have been able to do by itself or would have
taken us a long time to raise that amount of money.
It was a massive twenty thousand pounds job. All the
animals greatly appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
That's really sweet. I love goats.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
I love goats too.

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
We're just so quirky. I want to goat ladies and
gentlemen hit on order to counterculturewise dot com and contribute
to the Melanie gets a Goat fund. Thank you very much,
have a nice day. Well those were fun. Those were
palate cleansing.

Speaker 1 (01:20:42):
Yes, they were just in time for this.

Speaker 2 (01:20:52):
Now. See that's why we can't have nice things.

Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
Fritzy is so upset, is.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
Really upset about this one. She came in, Mommy, bummy, mommy. Yeah,
she is not happy about this one. You. Oh, I
guess it's my turn in it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
Yeah, it's my turn.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
In the end, it may have just been too much
cheddar to make a clean getaway. Oh we're gonna go
with the puns, aren't we, Gabby, Here we go. A
sixty three year old man has been arrested after more
than twenty four tons of artisanal cheese. Didn't the word
steaming has gone? It just says has been arrested after

(01:21:35):
more than that many from oh it was stolen. I
hate it when they write passively. They yeah, don't don't
write passively because it actually makes it more difficult to understand.
Pro tip. Okay, a sixty three year old man was
arrested after he stole more than twenty four tons of

(01:21:56):
artisanal cheese.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
That's a lot of cheese.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
That is a lot of freaking days. The man was
detained on suspicion of fraud by false representation in handling
stolen goods fondling his curbs in a way. He was
taken to a South London police station where he was
questioned and has since been released on bail pending further inquiries.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said the cheese is

(01:22:21):
worth over three hundred and ninety thousand dollars. Who was
taken from London cheese specialist Neil Yard's dairy on October.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
Very clean shop. Well it's certainly uncontaminated by cheese. Sorry
I hadn't thrown them Monty there.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
Certainly condaminated by peace. Oh my well look at that's
that's how they wow.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
Hopey yeah up.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
Day we learned that the Metropold made arrest and connection
with the theft. We're grateful for the progress they have
made and we will continue to support them. I want
to know, how do you get away with that much cheese?
Get an update to the post caption on show were
made and the rest yer Yari, We're grateful and we'll continue. Okay,
fraudulent fire posing as a wholesale distributor for a major
French retailer, nabbed the nine and fifty wheels of cloth

(01:23:18):
wrapped artisanal cheddar. The company said every wheel of cheese
had been delivered before it realized it had been scammed. Weight,
every wheel of cheese had been delivered before each wheel
of cheese realized had been scammed.

Speaker 10 (01:23:35):
Who's there to be fired? Well, it might not even
been gabby, but the editor. Guys, guys, if you need
an editor, talk to me. These cheese wheels did not
realize they had been scammed.

Speaker 1 (01:23:53):
Okay, the retailer realized had been scammed. Guys, the company
got scam.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
Okay, the never reel of cheese is the subject. Therefore
the it in that sentence is the cheese. Okay free,
no wonder. Fritzy was upset. This is really bad writing.
Three cheeses from three different suppliers were stolen Hayford, Welsh
Organic Cheddar, Westcomb Cheddar and pitch Fork Cheddar. Neil's Yard

(01:24:24):
Dairy said that quote, despite the significant financial blow, it
has paid each of its artisan cheesemakers in full for
its product. That's really kind, that's really really decent. Tom
Calver of Westcomb said in a video on Instagram that
it was a hoast. It was it was fraud. Behind
him were rows of empty shells in the dairy, showcasing

(01:24:45):
how much ype yipe news cheese theft exclamation.

Speaker 1 (01:24:56):
I think he said, blessed all the cheesemakers. Why do
I keep going back to Monty p I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
Because you can't help it. Besides, we got the word
cheesemaker cheesemaker threat. The tree Foen Brothers, which supplied the
pitchfork cheddar said Nil's Yard Dairy fully and swiftly paid
despite the theft. That's really sweet. They didn't have. The
way they have handled this horrible situation has only deepened

(01:25:23):
our respect and admiration for them. We are proud to
supply them and call them our friends. That's heartwarming. See
this Belondon, good things our even our can't have nice things.
It's a good thing today. It's a little bit cheesy.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
But come on.

Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
Anyways, and even British chef Jamie Oliver is spreading the
word about the Great cheese robbery and they go on
about that person. But this is really, really, really really decent.
I had no idea that's how cheese was stored the
wheels come of those those because I thought they were

(01:26:03):
already real. So wow, Now I want cheese and truscans.

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
Are you sure you don't want baloney?

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
Do I want baloney?

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
This is a I want baloney.

Speaker 1 (01:26:17):
Well, be honest, it's never been one of my favorite snacks.

Speaker 2 (01:26:21):
I like baloney, but it's gotta be you know, I like.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
Baloney if it's in a sandwich with other luncheon meats
like like turkey, or or salami, or even even luncheon
meat like spam. You know there's a combination.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
Like spam, but not like baloney.

Speaker 1 (01:26:38):
I don't see.

Speaker 2 (01:26:39):
I'm like baloney butter have a nice day, or blooney
with lots and lots of mayonnaise.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
But Presidio, Texas, here in the goold lone star state,
people don't seem to care. A woman was fined after
officers seized over seven hundred pounds of illegal bolooney hidden
within her suitcases. There's there's illegal. I will explain that
in a moment.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Okay, but Jim, yes, haven't you been known for smuggling baloney.

Speaker 1 (01:27:08):
Every single show? Every single show, I smuggle boloney. That's
the lord. Anyway, Officers from US customers.

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
Get seven hundred pounds of boloney in a suitcase.

Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
It's a very big one, must be. Officers from US
Customs and Border Protection or CBP, became suspicious when a
forty three year old female US citizen crossing the border
from Mexico declared nothing more than a cooked meal. Dim
wit a secondary I'm sorry, not a very smart thing
to do.

Speaker 2 (01:27:42):
More than a cooked meals, you know, seven hundred pounds
of cooked baloone meal.

Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
A secondary inspection uncovered multiple suitcases which seemed heavier than normal,
according to a release from the organization, how do you
define normal? Their government Upon opening the suitcase, his officers
on forty rolls of Mexican pork, bologna or boloney, which
is illegal in the United States due to Mexican pork's
potential to spread spread quote foreign animal diseases the US

(01:28:13):
pork industry. In other words, it's cheaper, it would be.
It's too much competition for our our stuff, so we're
not gonna let again. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
So we're not worried about fentanel.

Speaker 1 (01:28:24):
Now we're worried about boloni. And that's why you can
have nice things anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
Why are we looking at?

Speaker 1 (01:28:31):
Oh see, there was other stuff. Additionally, further investigation revealed
more than two under eighty boxes of undeclared prescription medicines,
including tramadol, a schedule for controlled substance.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
What do do?

Speaker 1 (01:28:46):
Well? Why don't you find out? While I'm reading the
rest of this?

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
Also found that you just know all this stuff already.

Speaker 1 (01:28:53):
Yeah. Officers also found over seven six hundred miles. I'm sorry,
we have some editorial department.

Speaker 2 (01:29:02):
The bells will be bringing all the sets and new
who's the dog's gotta go outside? And the cat has
the blues? Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:29:22):
The woman was fined one thousand dollars and the seven
hundred and forty eight pounds of bologna were destroyed. Wow,
that's a lot of meat. Man, that's a lot of
dead pigs for nothing. We stressed that it is important
the travelers educate themselves on what products are allowed to
be legally entered from abroad. So the CBP Presidio Port
Officer Benito Reyes Junior.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
That's a lot of wasted food.

Speaker 6 (01:29:46):
I mean, how many how many illegal Mexicans could have
eaten for weeks on that? If they're importing the egal
illegal people we might as well import the illegal food.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
Right, And I don't know that. I wouldn't really completely
trust food that was just smuggled over the border. I
don't know, it doesn't I mean, I contradicted what I
said a few minutes ago, but I just I don't know.
So this tramadol stuff, what is it?

Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
An opioid? Okay, okay, yeah, So it's bad, bad, bad,
bad bad stuff, bad bad bad. You can't overdose, you
can get addicted.

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
And what's it's intended use.

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
See here's the thing. I've been saying that a lot
today a lot. And they're saying now that you have
all the side effects and all that stuff, and it's
addicted and YadA YadA. But it's a pain reliever that
you're supposed to couple with see the medicine. Well, if
I still have to take talin all, what's the point
of taking an opioid that's gonna possibly.

Speaker 1 (01:30:54):
The pain more, I guess, or just making it happen quicker.
I couldn't tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:30:59):
See, I'm a little to opiates, So I guess that
makes me lucky that they never give me that garbage
at then, as.

Speaker 1 (01:31:05):
It's funny, there's been more than one time. When you've
said them allergic opioids and what do they serve up?
They try to, yeah, prescribe it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
The Pine Clinic in Vegas did that to me. We
went to fulfill it and only was like eight hundred bucks,
but it was an opioid. It's like, well, I couldn't
even take that if I wanted to. Well, if it
ain't balogney, or it ain't cheese, if it ain't things
that are making your bells explode, things that actually do.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
From the old my old stomping grounds of Selena's, California.
Oh my, oh my affiliate I used to writ.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
Explosive anti tank rocket was found in the Selena's home.
I wonder what they're going to do with that. A
real estate agent, oh my, prepping for an estate sale,
stumbled upon a two point five foot high ex puls
of anti tank rocket h e at sitting inside the

(01:32:06):
homes closet just so.

Speaker 1 (01:32:08):
Guy dies, you know, just go through his stuff and
there's a.

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
Less Yeah, we're talking about a high energy device that
is capable of blowing up a tank.

Speaker 6 (01:32:17):
Yeah, baby.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
Selena's police in the Montgomery County Sheriff's explosive ordinance unit.
Really seriously, how many I mean, could you put like
seven more words in there? Responded to the scene and
began evacuating the neighbor. So it's fit in there all
this time, and you find it, You're like, what better
better evacuate the neighborhood. Heat Our team was able to
take a look at the device to using some sophisticated

(01:32:40):
equipment and confirmed that it did seem to be volatile
and a danger.

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
I mean, if it's just sitting there, then no harm.
But if you're going to move it, then yeah, you.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
Would you want to call out, I get it, he said.
A device like this heat rocket has the potential to
cause significant damage. They say the potential explosion radius is
unpredictable and that if this device can blow up a tank,
what can it do to a house and what can
it do to a neighborhood. One neighbor living next door
to the rocket said she had no idea it was

(01:33:09):
there the whole time. That's a little scary. I mean,
anything could go off, said Rebecca Rodrick. The evacuation radius
was set to five hundred feet to create a buffer
zone for safety if something went wrong during the removal process.
If it takes out a tank. Do you think five
hundred feet is big enough?

Speaker 1 (01:33:27):
Not?

Speaker 2 (01:33:27):
Really, We should have just evacuated the whole state, sent
them all to Mexico and see if they get free
health care there. I might be a little bitter about
the free health care thing. The officer showed me the
X ray of the missile, which is really wild, Roderick said.
He said, see how it's all dark. That means there's
a lot of stuff in it.

Speaker 6 (01:33:46):
You bet it's.

Speaker 2 (01:33:47):
Blowney more kinds of stuff. It might be blowney in it.
Imagine Mexican Bolognian stolen cheddar. Yeah, you know what we
need now? We need to be r e a d rocket.
I'm on it. Chief.

Speaker 1 (01:34:05):
Think there's one on the subway.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
Maybe a little bit of mustard gas. And I think
we were there.

Speaker 1 (01:34:09):
What do you think, Hey, you catch up here?

Speaker 2 (01:34:13):
You go? No? I think you did there. You don't
put ketchup on blowney sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (01:34:17):
No you don't. You don't. You don't even put bolooney
and blowney sandwiches. Throw the nasty stuff away, says you.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
Baloney is wonderful, as are as is shredded wheat, which
you should eat. And just know North Southeast West Now
Company's County Sharp's office that they do not know if
the deceased homeowner realized that the item he possessed was
still active explosively. These can be taken home as souvenirs
by service members, or they can be collected from a
yard sale not realizing the danger. Can you imagine going

(01:34:46):
to a yard sale and going, huh, that looks cool.
I'm just gonna stick that missile as a yard decoration
next to my garden nome And it turns out the
things like nuclear that would be a hole in the
noma in nom Alaska. That would be my luck, is

(01:35:07):
I would I would come home with like a what
looks like a bird feeder and it turns out that
it's a you know, nuclear explosive device or something. That
would totally be my luck. What I got it for?
Seventy five mushroom cloud? God, that would so be me?
All right? Finding an explosive of this magnitude in a

(01:35:29):
home and Salinas is a unique occurrence, I hope.

Speaker 11 (01:35:32):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
However, the Sheriff's office says it is not abnormal from
Monterey County due to a former military base support or okay,
all right, I'll buy that. Of course you've been there.
Ross says, if you come across any explosive looking device,
even if you're not sure what it is, always back
away and report it to the police. But every time
I do that, they say, you're married to the man.

(01:35:55):
Get over it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:56):
Ah, she's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
Montgomery County shares Explosive Ordness Unit Bomb Squad our FBI
trained professionals trying to safely handle these situations. Well, I'm
glad they had trained professionals to remove what looks like
a bomb covered in duct tape. These are weird this week.

Speaker 1 (01:36:22):
This one's pretty bad.

Speaker 2 (01:36:24):
Oh, this one's bad.

Speaker 1 (01:36:27):
Ye, this is also straight.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
I'm gonna hide the title so you can just well. Actually,
the first sentence gives it to you.

Speaker 1 (01:36:37):
A surgeon at a crisis hit NHS Trust used a
Swiss Army pen knife to open up the chest of
a patient because he claimed he could not find a
sterile scalpel. Yeah. University Hospital Sussex has said the operation
was an emergency. But the surgeons, I don't know, we'll

(01:36:59):
get there, but bump, bump, we're outside normal procedures. It
should not have been necessary. Professor Graham poston An expert
witness on clinical negligence and a former consultant surgeon. So
told the BBC it surprises me and appalls me. Firstly,
a pen knife is not sterile. Secondly, it's not operating instrument. Thirdly,

(01:37:20):
all the kit must have been there. Police are separately
looking into at least one hundred and five alleged medical
negligence cases. Okay, one hundred and five cases of alleged
medical negligence at the trust and considering gross negligence, manslaughter
and corporate manslaughter charges. So that's the crisis. There are

(01:37:41):
a bunch of idiots working there.

Speaker 2 (01:37:46):
Spain flooding or you know something.

Speaker 1 (01:37:48):
It's just The surgeon in the pen knife case with
the BBC is not naming was operating on a patient
in the Royal Sussex Hospital in Brighton when he struggled
to find a scalpel. Question why did you not have
that ready to go?

Speaker 2 (01:38:02):
Question? Who turned him in? So no, because second question
follow up question if you were so upset that you
turned him in, why didn't you stop him?

Speaker 1 (01:38:20):
I don't know. The surgeon the pen knife case, okay,
who BBS is not name was operating on a patient
at Royal Sussex Hospital when he struggled to find a scalpel.
Instead he used a Swiss army knife, which you normally
used to cut fruit for his lunch. Patients survived, but
internal documents showed the surgeon colleagues felt his behavior was questionable.

(01:38:41):
Were very surprised he was unable to find a scalpel.

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
Hey O, she was quite a page out right.

Speaker 1 (01:38:52):
BBC also discovered the same surgeon carried out three supposedly
low risk operations in two months, where all three patients
died soon after. The BBC is previously. The BBC has
previously reported that four whistleblowers said patients have died unnecessarily
and been effectively maimed at the Trust. A former surgeon
claimed a gang culture existed in the neurosurgery department. The

(01:39:14):
same doctor lags one surgeon a disproportionate deaths, a second
did complex operations without adequate training. An internal review can
see the doctors could have saved the life of student
Melissa's ugly had they acted sooner. Suspect my God, Sussex
not suspect, although it does sound suspected. Sussex Police has

(01:39:36):
recruited extra staff as part of its manslaughter probe concerning
the trust, on and on. I mean, I don't even know.
That's just insane. How is that? How is that medical
trust still open?

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
Dying left, right and sideways?

Speaker 1 (01:39:50):
I wonder, Oh, look, training problems you think?

Speaker 2 (01:39:55):
I mean, wasn't there a TikTok trend of young students
in well all over? I think India and Africa. It's
actually a joke. I can't remember the exact country, but
I think it was multiple. It's actually a joke that
they take their parents'.

Speaker 1 (01:40:13):
Tests for them, right, We talked about that, and.

Speaker 2 (01:40:17):
They become nurses and doctors and whatnot. I wonder if
this is another DEI situation. I'm not sure. I don't know.
I'm just putting that out there. So go down towards
says training problems.

Speaker 1 (01:40:29):
All right? Sure, Training problems helped watchdog. The care Quality
Commission looked at the deaths and concluded there had been
no breach of regulations. Excuse me, Universally University Hospital Sussex said,
I can't read these things out loud anymore. Our investigations
did not raise Universities Hospital Fuss said our investigations did

(01:40:54):
not raise concerns about the surgeries themselves, but did identify
common themes for improvement www dot you think dot com,
which we acted on immediately to ensure our services are
as safe as possible. These included better services.

Speaker 2 (01:41:08):
Is the physicians who are not trained?

Speaker 1 (01:41:13):
Yeah, who are are?

Speaker 2 (01:41:14):
They're on merit.

Speaker 1 (01:41:16):
These included better communication with patients before and after surgery,
improved training.

Speaker 2 (01:41:20):
For better communication. All right, so you got about a
sixty forty chance of dying. Yeah, well this is sixty
or the forty. We're not sure. We're not even that good.

Speaker 1 (01:41:30):
And strength and processes, especially when care is transferred from
one side to the other. Professor Posten said these operations
usually had a one percent chance of ending in death, so.

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
The seventy five percent is probably should look at that.

Speaker 1 (01:41:44):
After reviewing the surgeon's employment record, which included a long
wait to become a consultant, Poston said, I do not
know this individual, but you would be concerned that there
were problems during the course of that training and progression
through training. Ww do youthink dot com Part five our
page page five. Shortly before the deaths, the operations had

(01:42:05):
temporarily been moved to Worthing Hospital from a bigger site
in nearby Brighton against some clinical advice. I don't understand
how the British medical system works so well.

Speaker 2 (01:42:15):
Socialized medicine. Well, I'm not going to say another word.

Speaker 1 (01:42:18):
That's all you need to say, because that's what we.

Speaker 2 (01:42:21):
Want here, and next we'll come to death panels, just
like in our neighbors to the north. Yes, so this
is in the inter This is on its way as well.

Speaker 1 (01:42:36):
Now I'm going to have to on its way. This
actually happened in New York. Well you know, it's the
Daily Mail.

Speaker 2 (01:42:43):
But more of this is on the way. But I'm
going to have to read the whole story before I
give my opinion on it, because I can't believe the
combinations of the words were innocent. I'm struggling with that.
So let's see what we got here. If you hear

(01:43:05):
a sudden screech, it's because I have Max on my
feet and the little one is trying to get Max
to play and Max isn't having it. So the little
one's trying to.

Speaker 1 (01:43:15):
Play with me now and he just has so much claws.

Speaker 2 (01:43:21):
So I'm just warning y'all. All right, let's take a
look at this. A woman has revealed before words you
should avoid googling to ensure the police do not pay
an unexpected visit to your house. Michelle Catalino and her
husband from Long Island, New York. We're browsing for everyday
household items back in twenty thirteen when they unexpectedly ran

(01:43:42):
into trouble. Recounting the events following the incident, she wrote
in her blog at the time, googling of certain things
was creating a perfect storm of terrorism profiling. I probably
have the FBI. I'm on the FBI list for sure.
I would imagine, especially when you're a writer and you're
doing research on a job, and you might want to
grab Frankie because he's trying to get Max to play

(01:44:02):
and it's not happening. Max. Max is too old and
cranky for this little guy. Give one of his toys. Yes,
here on counterculture wise, we are nothing if not professional.
Let us play with our cats. In the middle of
a podcast, Michelle, a freelance writer, wanted to order herself

(01:44:22):
a pressure cooker while her husband was looking to purchase
a new rocksack. Okay. This led to them carrying out
separate searches online for the items. They both wanted an
exercise that would not normally cause alarm in the police force.
So they're in separate accounts, in separate locations, and he's
googling a rucksack, which is what is a rucksack? That's

(01:44:45):
that's like a double back. However, her husband typed in
keywords for both items from his work computer two days later,
just prior to quitting his job. Okay, so he typed
in backpack and pressure cooker and then I quit. Okay,

(01:45:06):
and I mean still not enough for like the FBI
to come rage you. It T flag staffed. This? It staff?
Why did I say it T flag staffed this?

Speaker 1 (01:45:17):
And reason because you want to go to flag staff.

Speaker 2 (01:45:19):
I'm reading this. It staff flagged the searches, which his
former employer reported it to the local, which it which
the Again, listen to how the sentence is written. It
staff flagged the searches, which his former employer reported it

(01:45:40):
to the local Suffolks County Police Department. Yeah, do we
is this written by a I like the s l A.
I I mean, come on, people, it was brought up
by the staff due to the actions of the people
allegedly responsible for the Boston Merthon bombs earlier that year.
I understand that it was a pressure clearing guardy arty,
But like, pressure cookers exist and people order them. So

(01:46:03):
the incident which takes play, Okay, they go into that
and people died.

Speaker 1 (01:46:06):
And you already yards because there were pressure cooker bombs.

Speaker 2 (01:46:08):
That was right. But the thing is is people still
order pressure cooker So you can't follow everybody on the
planet that orders a pressure cooker, or else you have
to ban the darn things, you know. Following the couple's
unintentional internet search, several black stuvs pulled up at the
couple's house to ensure they were not a terrorist threat.
So every time somebody orders a pressure cooker, you're gonna

(01:46:30):
get FBI searching you. I mean, I don't understand. So
if you don't want police to show up at your door,
don't search the fore words pressure. Okay, hold on a
second pressure cooker bomb along with the word backpack. Now
where did the word bomb come from? Why is the

(01:46:50):
word bomb in there?

Speaker 1 (01:46:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
Michelle described the surreal experience on her blog, saying that
her husband saw three black USBs from the our house
to at the curb in front, pulled up blah blah.
Following the security concerned. The police release statement which read
stuff receive a tip from Face Shore based computer company
regarding suspicious computer search is conducted by recently released Well, yeah,
they typed in the work bomb. Why did they type

(01:47:15):
in the word bomb? Michelle wrought under blog. Mostly it
felt a great sense of anxiety. You should you typed
in the word bomb. I'm gonna say bomb so often.
We're going to get the FBI. This is where we
are at. If you have no expectation of privacy, you're
trying to learn how to cook some lentils could possibly
lend you on a watch list. Okay, lady, I have
never put a bomb in my lentils, and I have

(01:47:40):
a lot of lentils.

Speaker 1 (01:47:42):
We have tons of lentils, she.

Speaker 2 (01:47:43):
Jokingly at it. All I know is if I'm going
to buy a pressure cooker in the near future, I'm
not doing it online. I'm scared and not of the
right things. Why is nobody saying why she typed the
word bomb? Wana, No, no, no, no, no, there's nothing
in here. They're just like, yeah, oh yeah, and she
typed the word bomb, bit bit.

Speaker 6 (01:48:03):
Bit.

Speaker 1 (01:48:05):
I don't understand why weird things in New York. I'm
telling you, well, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:48:10):
Why does she type the I'm still I'm confused.

Speaker 1 (01:48:12):
I don't know if she actually put the word bomb
in it. That's what throwing me off.

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):
That the four words you don't type, pressure cooker, bomb,
and rocksack.

Speaker 1 (01:48:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:48:22):
And you know what I want to do right now?

Speaker 1 (01:48:23):
What do you want to do?

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
I want to type Google dot com and the words
pressure cooker bomb, rucks rucksack and find out what happens,
because that is the kind of person in let's see her.
I'll take this off here do this.

Speaker 1 (01:48:42):
So what are you doing though?

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
I'm going to Google and I'm tie hyping no thanks,
and I'm typing pressure cooker bomb and rocksack.

Speaker 1 (01:49:00):
Somebody hurt me.

Speaker 2 (01:49:01):
Pressure cooker bomb is an unprovised explosive device ID created
by inserting explosive material toil pressure creoker. Well I knew
that building a pressure cooker bomb.

Speaker 1 (01:49:09):
PBS, you're not you're not You're not playing fair though,
aren't you using a VPN?

Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
No, it's not on right now?

Speaker 1 (01:49:16):
Okay, Well that's good. I wanted I wanted to rest
the right now.

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
I think it's on right now? And you k moombs
were both strapping your pressure cooker pressure crekery. Wow, you
can go. What's funny, though, is this is PBS building
a pressure cooker bomb active explosive test facility. No, you
got to stop crossing out the word rocksack because that's
supposed to get me show results with rucksack Americon security,

(01:49:42):
How can you keep twenty six point two miles? Still
can't figure out why is she typing?

Speaker 1 (01:49:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:49:50):
I'm totally at a loss on that one. So I'll
have to do some research offline on that one because
I do not know why she typed the word.

Speaker 1 (01:50:04):
Okay, you said you were going to read these.

Speaker 2 (01:50:08):
Yeah, I don't even know if I want to do
this one because I'm so upset by this. I'm really
upset by this one. All right, So let's start with
where the story started. A New York man who turned

(01:50:29):
a rescue squirrel into a social media star called Peanut
is pleading with state authorities to return his beloved pet.
Spoiler alert, he didn't get the pet back. They seized
it during a raid that also yielded a raccoon named Fred.
Multiple anonymous complaints. I don't buy that for a second

(01:50:50):
about Peanut brought at least six officers from the state
Department of Environmental Conservation to Marklanngo's home to the Pennsylvania
border in a rural pine city. Okay, now, let's keep
in mind, he's way the heck is our pictures of
where he was, No, it is not. He is way
the heck out in the middle of no dangwhere. And
this guy's like out on a farm like we are.
He's like way out in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 1 (01:51:11):
So it's not like it's near the Pennsylvania board.

Speaker 2 (01:51:14):
He's not like even the middle of the city, right,
he's way out there. The DC came to my house
and raided my house without a search word to find
a squirrel. I was treated as if I were a
drug dealer and they were going for drugs and guns.
The officers left a peanut who amassed hundreds of thousands
of followers on Instagram. Okay, so what happened. What happened

(01:51:35):
is they killed the squirrel for no freaking reason, and
they're calling it euthanasia, which it's not. When you murder
an innocent creature out of cold blood for no reason
other than just to show that they have to follow
your authority, that is not euthanasia. You are not putting
it out of its misery. You are killing it just outright.

(01:51:59):
So they say that the squirrel bits somebody, well good,
I hope he got a chunk of them. I hope
the guy gets rabies and dies. And I don't usually
wish death on people, but good god, people, you're seizing
a squirrel. This little guy, he's on YouTube all over
the place. See I find him. He didn't do anything wrong,

(01:52:20):
He didn't do anything wrong. He the squirrel and he's
just a sweet I mean, look at this, Clayton. I
had a pet squirrel growing up. I didn't have crazy
people calling and look at that. He goes way in
the middle of no dang where there's no reason. Yeah,

(01:52:45):
there's absolutely no reason that you needed to call the
authorities to get this guy to take his squirrel and
murder it. And he's famous for eating waffles. He was adorable.
There's no reason for that. This guy runs an animal rescue.
He was in the process of getting special licenses for
apparently this exotic species that he wasn't supposed to have.

(01:53:06):
These guys are dicks, and you know what, You're going
to have more people like this flexing their muscles. If
you vote for just get out there and vote and
don't vote for the DEI higher. That's all I'm saying.
You can't believe they murder this poor little guy. There's
no reason for that. He wasn't hurting anybody, he didn't

(01:53:28):
have rabies. Obviously. I don't know what the elegator has
to do with anything, but obviously the little squirrel. That's
a big alligator. Oh they're talking about other people who
have taken in so called exotic pets. I mean, come on,
just people stayed your Laneane is no longer. There was

(01:53:49):
no reason that Peanut needed to be murdered. That was
just that was just pure evil and there is no
other word for it. I didn't get to play the sounder.
I have a sounder to play. Let's play us a
sounder because this was the new abnormal, and then we

(01:54:11):
have one more story under this. So I didn't play
my sounder for this. And I'm new to Birji bur
burd It. Here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:54:26):
This is not bubble Waters.

Speaker 2 (01:54:28):
It is no longer twenty twenty. But this is your
new abnormal. If you can't raise corporate taxes or if
GOP takes control of the Senate. Where do you get

(01:54:49):
the money to do that? Do you still go forward
those plans and borrow?

Speaker 1 (01:54:54):
Well, but we're gonna have to raise corporate taxes, and
we're going to have to raise We're going to have
to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay
their fair share.

Speaker 2 (01:55:08):
That's just it. It's about paying their fair share.

Speaker 1 (01:55:12):
I am not mad at anyone for achieving success, but
everyone should pay their fair share.

Speaker 2 (01:55:17):
And it is not right that the teachers and.

Speaker 7 (01:55:19):
The firefighters that I meet every day across our country
are paying a higher tax than the richest.

Speaker 2 (01:55:26):
People in our country.

Speaker 4 (01:55:28):
President aren't a single thing that idea that she couldn't do,
and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on
everything from foreign policy and messing policy.

Speaker 1 (01:55:39):
She simply has said, it doesn't have to be this way.
It doesn't have to be this way. We can't afford.
We can't afford four more years of this. And I've
been saying it, Jay, she's in dat each hall.

Speaker 2 (01:56:01):
Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
It's an appropriate facial expression for her most recent political ad.
Would you like to watch this with me?

Speaker 1 (01:56:19):
If I must?

Speaker 4 (01:56:21):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (01:56:25):
Sorry, you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:56:26):
What the hell, man, how'd you get in here?

Speaker 11 (01:56:28):
I'm your Republican congressman. Now that we're in charge, we're
banning born nationwide.

Speaker 1 (01:56:34):
Can't tell me what to do. Get out of my bedroom,
re treat.

Speaker 11 (01:56:37):
I won the last election, so it's my decision. I'm
just going to watch and make sure you don't finish illegally.

Speaker 2 (01:56:46):
Yeah, because that's happening. Sure, I mean that with Project
twenty twenty five and you know, taking away your.

Speaker 1 (01:56:57):
Way over the.

Speaker 2 (01:56:58):
Time, what the president to have. It's really funny because
the same people who say they don't want the government
to have control over their bodies are demanding that the
president have control over their bodies. There's no self awareness
at all. So they have a whole series of these
and they're all revolving around sex, and they're all just

(01:57:22):
stupid like that. And of course the porn industry has
pardon the words, but this is literally the words they use.
These are literally the words they use. Have given their
full throated endorsement to Kamala well, of course they have.

(01:57:43):
She's one of their best pells. In fact, if she
wasn't voted in, or actually she wasn't voted in. She
wasn't appointed to all these jobs. That's what she would
be doing because that's how she got those jobs. And no,
I'm not being mean, it's a fact. Just ask Willie.

Speaker 1 (01:58:05):
Just ask Willy, Just ask Willy, just ask.

Speaker 2 (01:58:09):
Okay, did you want to say anything else about this? No?

Speaker 1 (01:58:12):
That said It all needs to be said.

Speaker 7 (01:58:15):
Is it just me?

Speaker 2 (01:58:16):
Or does the actor in that ad look exactly like
a friend we had in Vegas?

Speaker 11 (01:58:22):
Sorry, you can't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:58:23):
What might even be that guy? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:58:27):
No, No, it's not him because he's he's much much
older now. But yeah, that's our name. I Forny. Sure, Okay, folks,
we're just about it. I think it would be nice
if we ended on a high note. Yeah, so let's

(01:58:50):
head on into my favorite segment you're on counterculture Wise,
we may rant, we may rave, but most of all,
we go against the current culture because we believe, to
the core of our beings that humans are good and

(01:59:12):
the world is an amazing and beautiful place. At the
beginning of our show, we give you news of the
weird and wonderful, but that is just the tip of
the magnificent iceberg that is our world. We now present
news of the Wonderfuller. Jim usually makes me read these,

(01:59:39):
but he didn't read the last one, probably because he's
upset about the possibility of No, you're not. He's a
good boy. He wouldn't do that, right, Jim, Right, I
wouldn't do that. Whatever it was, I wouldn't do it anyway,
either the jacking off or the watching the guy jacking off.

Speaker 1 (01:59:58):
It was discussion, stinging, stupid.

Speaker 2 (02:00:00):
It's just so twisted. So let's untwist ourselves twists.

Speaker 1 (02:00:08):
And this is tell me a story, a great story
of redemption, all right, this is right out of here
in Texas and Ellis County. Man was in the right
place at the right time and saved someone's life. And
then six weeks later he did it again twice. Yes,
in August, Jacob Bell saved a drowning swimmer at Lake Waxahachi,

(02:00:28):
and then in early October he pulled a man from
a burning car after a crash. Long before any of this,
Bell was sentenced to thirty five years in prison. He
made the decision to change his life, and because of
that he was able to save two others.

Speaker 2 (02:00:44):
Why was he in prison?

Speaker 1 (02:00:46):
Let's find out?

Speaker 2 (02:00:47):
It was like check cashing like but it was like
murdering a man. And this is like major redemption.

Speaker 1 (02:00:53):
If anyone has earned the right to say that. As
Jacob Bell this month in North Texan, was driving a
truck in rural Comanche County. He encountered a crash scene
caught on fire, was upside down next to another telephone police,
he said moments later. Earlier, sorry, moments earlier, the driver
had crashed off the road and the car broken out
in flames. Bell told NBC five that instinct took over

(02:01:15):
for me. I didn't even think about it, said Belle.
I knew I could physically get him out of there,
and I was going to do it. He smashed in
the car window. I was able to pull out the driver,
a seventy two year old man who wasn't breathing. I
felt for a pulse. I pulled him out and kind
of got him on the ground and felt for a pulse.
I couldn't feel anything. I started CPR on him, and
after maybe five or ten seconds, I could feel a

(02:01:36):
faint pulse. At the scene, the man.

Speaker 2 (02:01:38):
They had to do it right, so he actually studied this.

Speaker 1 (02:01:41):
Yes, at the scene, the man started breathing and suffering
from smoking elation. Bell was taken with the driver to
the hospital in Fort Worth. NBC spoke with the man rescued.
He said he was still suffering from broken ribs but
will recover well.

Speaker 2 (02:01:54):
Hopefully he doesn't turn around and see him like some
people have.

Speaker 1 (02:01:56):
No, he wouldn't do that.

Speaker 2 (02:01:58):
I mean, because that does happen. You really do have to.
I mean you're literally going through the ribs into the
heart to get the dang thing to start.

Speaker 1 (02:02:06):
It's been pretty amazing the randomness of it, said Bell.
Bell wasn't just talking about his rescue. Six weeks earlier,
he was on a boat at Lakewaksahachi when he saw
teen girl struggling in open water. He jumped in and
saved her, swimming the girl back to shore. Bell also
recovered the body of twenty one year old Lindcer Lopez
to fall beneath the waves. I'm still dealing with a

(02:02:28):
lot of that, said Bell. The fact that Lncer lost
his life that day is still heartbreaking.

Speaker 2 (02:02:33):
I've experienced that firsthand, having to pull a body out
of swat It's horrific. It scars you for life.

Speaker 1 (02:02:40):
Belle said he's been working through feelings of anxiety these
traumatic incidents, but he was proud of both acts of
heroism because only a few years ago they would have
seemed impossible. I got charged with the burglary in nineteen
ninety six, and they gave me thirty five and a
half years, said Bell.

Speaker 2 (02:02:57):
Keep thirty five years for burglary, and folks are getting
off with like several weeks for rape I don't know,
and murder. There are people out on parole right now
for murder. And he got thirty five years for robinsone.

Speaker 1 (02:03:13):
Yep. Jacob Bell spent twenty years in prison and could
have still been there today, committed to changing his life,
leaving prison six years ago and now has a wife
and child. After all this, maybe the most important rescue
Bell made was himself.

Speaker 2 (02:03:26):
After twenty years. Yeah, he lost most of his life
and he didn't even really do anything, I mean breaking
and entering in burglary. And yeah, yeah, I'm thinking five
ten years.

Speaker 1 (02:03:36):
But thirty five must have been some rich, powerful person
he tried to burg again.

Speaker 2 (02:03:41):
It must have been Hillary Clinton, because she can get
away with murdering dozens of people and she gets buck kissed.

Speaker 1 (02:03:46):
And let's talk about the happy ending.

Speaker 2 (02:03:48):
Happy ending, happy ends way over with I'm already way
over here, okay, But you can't talk about happy endings
after doing a thing about porn, so you have to
use different terms. Now.

Speaker 1 (02:03:57):
Oh yeah, well that's true. Yeah, thanks for that. Spend
most of my life thinking that I was just a
nobody in a castaway and never was going to get
myself worth back, said Bill, And this has really showed
me that it's possible to give back and to feel
good about yourself and that means something.

Speaker 2 (02:04:11):
Well, Okay, sir, my deepest and most heartfelt apologies that
you were slammed with such an unfair sentence, but thank
god that you spent that time bettering yourself and you

(02:04:32):
have saved lives. You have changed the world. So, folks,
and redemption. I hate to be political at the very end,
but that's the one thing that we believe in that
we are teased for, made fun of, told that we're crazy,
or they just ignored altogether. Like, how can you possibly

(02:04:54):
vote for the evil Orange man when he, you know,
supposedly cheated on his wife which has never been proven,
he's divorced, blah blah blah, you're a religion yardy yarty.
Well two reasons. One is for God's sake, look at
the alternative. And two, our faith, by definition is about redemption.

Speaker 1 (02:05:18):
You pretty much said my the sermon. I promised for me.
You promised at the beginning, at the beginning of the show.

Speaker 2 (02:05:26):
Did me to steal your thunderboot?

Speaker 1 (02:05:28):
Well, just real quick, and then we're gonna go because.

Speaker 2 (02:05:32):
We got I promised him, and that right now, that's
what he wants.

Speaker 1 (02:05:36):
We're doing it for our friends too, So a bit
of a time crunch. Okay, So whoever you vote for,
keep in mind that God is in charge. Okay. You
might be one of those people who spends every Thanksgiving

(02:05:57):
eating a Swanson hungry man turkey dinner because nobody will
invite you to their house and nobody'll come to yours
because you can't go five minutes' spout in your mouth
off about political crap. You might also be I.

Speaker 2 (02:06:08):
Would love to have that person over. That would be
so much fun. So if you are the smiles and
hungry man guy, even if you disagree with our politics,
come on over. We just got a new monopoly while
an old monopoly game. Yeah, and I make a mean
paleo stuffy you'll love it. It's Scott sausage.

Speaker 1 (02:06:25):
You also may be the kind of person who can't
take a firm position on anything, even if you were
dipped in cement. The point, the point is the one
who's really king, the one is really inty good.

Speaker 2 (02:06:38):
I appreciate that was a good metaphor thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:06:41):
God is in charge. He's he's king over he's king
over the Democrats and the Republicans and all the other
warring factions around the world. He's in charge, and everything
is going to be all right.

Speaker 2 (02:06:58):
We had a Bible study today after church and something
came up that really really touched my heart. And for
those of you who are you know, not of the
faith or whatever, this is no take it with the
grain of salt, whatever, do your thing. But it came
up and they were talking about how we don't pray enough.

(02:07:18):
We just don't, and we can pray for people all
the time in every aspect, and the one thing we
really really need to do is be kind to each other,
which I think is a good ending because that's what
our entire outro is about. And they said that they
actually when they go to a restaurant, which is, you know,
a privilege. We don't get to do very often. But

(02:07:40):
when we do, I think we're going to start this tradition.
They actually ask if they can pray. Well, they don't ask,
but they ask the person who is waiting on them,
the waitress or waiter or whatever. They tell them, well,
we're going to pray before our meal. Do you have
anything you'd like us to pray for?

Speaker 1 (02:07:58):
I think that's wonderful. We're so happens.

Speaker 2 (02:08:00):
They'll say no, yeah, the personal happens. They'll say no,
or we don't believe in that. Well, they said they
did this a couple of days ago, and the person,
the girl who was waiting on them, you know, said well, no,
I don't really have anything. But then she came back
to the table and asked, well, what God do you
pray for? And I thought, our pray too, What God

(02:08:23):
do you pray too? And I found that fascinating because
growing up a Christian, we don't really think about that,
because we pray to the God. And the answer was
the good One, the good One, our God. No matter

(02:08:46):
what you see on Twitter, no matter what you see
out there, no matter what an apist says, yes, there
are Christians out there who are not giving us a
good name. Myself self included. And then there's so called
Christians out there that just aren't. They're just not. And

(02:09:07):
then there are Christians out there that you'll never know.
You'll never know because you'll only recognize them when you
recognize the good that they do. If you are touched
with kindness this week, pay it forward. I know we've
ranted a little bit, we've raved a little bit. People,

(02:09:30):
We love you no matter who you vote for.

Speaker 1 (02:09:34):
But please vote, Please vote, Please.

Speaker 2 (02:09:36):
Vote to drag somebody with you, and men especially get
out there because for some reason, men men are the
ones that don't vote, which I at first I thought
that's really odd. I never thought of it. But when
we were waiting in line to early vote this week, yeah,
it was almost all women. There were only a few men.
There are some men vote. Come on, guys, get out
there and vote and don't believe what they say. Women

(02:09:59):
do you want to be protected? We do, so get
out there and vote to protect the nation. God bless
you have an amazing week and we will see you
next week.
