If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki Show podcast

join Jack and Nicky live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Today, something a little different for you. Set your faces
to stunt, Brace yourselves braced, Find your fainting chair, your
fainting couch, whatever. Have some people standing by. This is
gonna shock you. Okay, okay. The Oldborg Zoo in Denmark
(00:39):
wants to replicate natural food chains for their animals. Okay,
they think this is good for the animals. They say,
just tossing them food, you know, it's not natural for them.
They're already in cages. Let's try to replicate what it's
like in nature.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Oh you mean just a presented buffet of food is
not natural.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
That's right, That's exactly right. I can't wait to see
the tiny smart come off of your face when I
tell you what their plan is to help these animals.
They are asking people who live there in that area,
in that country to donate their pets as food for
the zoo animals.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Their pets. What kind of pets are they looking for?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, they want healthy pets.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
They're pets. No, a live pet.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yes, yes, because what they want to do is, you know,
replicate the natural food chain by releasing your pets into
the zoo so the zoo animals can hunt them and
devour them.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Donate their pets.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That is a great question. Yea, So just silly.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Ask because if you have a pet, let's say it's
a rabbit, and you love your rabbit, then you're not
going to take your pets to the zoo to donate
its to be eaten.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Rabbit is on the list, is it? They're asking for rabbits,
guinea pigs, chickens, horses, basic cases. Yeah, just any kind
of animal that you have have that you've loved and
taken care of for maybe you know, a decade or more,
and uh, you know, then the animal gets older and
you're like, well, you know, we could euthanize to you
(02:11):
and have a dignified service or or hear me out, fluffy,
change of plans. Instead of sleeping in the sun spot
on the carpet today in the living room, we're gonna
drop you off of the zoo where you'll be hunted
for sport.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Right, great, terrified, last moments, This is horrible Is.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
This not one of the most horrible things you've ever heard?
This is awful, This is truly awful.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I would never take my pet like, No, that's my pet,
first of all.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
No, that's right. I love my pet, all right, Take
it easy. Nobody's gonna take your cat. Nobody's gonna take
your cat from you and ship it to Denmark for
sport in a lion cage. By the way, that would
also be uh that that would be in the uh,
the natural order of things, a house cat being hunted
by a lion for food. But you listen, you hit
(03:03):
on the question you that you blurted out as soon
as I brought this up. Who would do this? Who
would do this? And I'm wondering, is this a way
to spot people in our society, in their society who
maybe were born without a soul, people who are just
(03:23):
dead inside? You know, your your serial killers, people like
that where you say, hey, bring your pets in and
we're going to feed them to our zoo animals. And
then anybody who shows up with their pet, you throw
the cuffs on them and you take them away, because
you go, this person is clearly a danger to society
because they are willing to feed their pet to an
animal at the zoo. I hope that's what they're doing. Yeah,
(03:47):
I hope that would be I hope there's a follow
up news story in a few weeks where they say
in Denmark, hundreds of people have been rounded up after
it was determined that they didn't have souls because they
tried to feed their pets to zoo animals. Shocking, right,
it's very shocking.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Why do they think this is a good idea?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, I mean it's they think it's good for the
zoo animals because you know, now they get to hunt.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Sure, Yeah, what do you.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Guys think about this? Would would you agree with us
that this is a way to get a read on
perhaps a troubled person. Is this a good way to
try to get some insight into somebody? Because would would
any reasonable person with any kind of love for their
pets or empathy? Would any reasonable person do this?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't either.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I just don't see who who's going to do this?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
See how disgusted you are? Eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty is the studio and text line.
You can also text us at three five sixty five
to one. By the way, I'd like to do as
we wrap this up, just to quick compare and contrast,
this is going on in Denmark. Okay. Conversely, this is
how spoiled pets are in America. Here's a German shepherd
(05:00):
being told that he's not allowed to go to the
water slide park.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I love you.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
I couldn't take you to the water park.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm so sorry. It wasn't my fault.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
There's there's not a doggy water park for you.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I come here.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I love you, I love you, I love you.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
This is how pets should be treated. It's Jack and
Nikki with open studio and textual lines as we talk
about your snoring, and also this hilarious guide to owning
a new mattress, which I really just can't wait to
(05:48):
get to.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yes, I'm really nervous about this.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Old boy is right. So I've been having massive computer
problems every here morning. I have no way to get
to any of the text lines. Do we do we
have any snoring advice coming in?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
No, they're okay with you being elbowed.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
In the red That's fine. Yeah, that's that's that's exactly right.
Thanks so much. Kind of support I expect on the show.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You know, it's really strange that you bring up storing
because I've been getting ads in my different social media
apps for like this magnetic nose puller outer thingy that
you put these little adhesives on the sides of your
nose and then you put like a breathe ripe type
strip over top and it pulls out.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
You're have you tried that?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Not really? I I am I stronger than the strips.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
You just buy it the store.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I don't. That's that's a weird solution to me, because
you know, what's happening. The snoring is, you know, kind
of in the back of your throat. You know, I don't.
I don't know how much you know, opening my nostrils
slightly is going to help that.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
But I mean it's worth a shot.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Everything is worth a show.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Screw it, I've already bought the bed. If the bed
doesn't solve it, then you know, there's no then there
is no hope. But I'm giving it a shot. All right,
We'll see how it goes. But but like I said,
there's that there's you're supposed to maybe drink honey they're
supposed to be like coating the throat olive oil. I
was told somebody. Yeah, they said, drink some olive oil.
And then you know, you won't care if you're a
(07:17):
sleep or not because you wish you were dead because
you've been just drinking olive oil.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I mean, you don't drink a whole bottle. It's just
like a tablespoon.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Information I could have used early. Yeah, I was chugging
this stuff. Okay, that's fine, all right, So I have
Nikki in my right hand. Yes, the instructions on using
the new mattress. Okay, it's called don't go to sleep yet.
As you can see, it says, right, go to sleep yet. Yes,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
There's a big yellow background.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's some little illustrations that's got your circle with a
line through it for a bunch of things.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
All right. You know. The weird thing is one of
the one of these, one of these pictures with the
circle around in the line through. It looks like a
guy taking a dump.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You don't poop the bed, don't enjoy your new mattress.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Please don't defecate on it. That's very odd. Okay, So
let's start with the most important one. This actually came
with a mattress. Your new mattress is not fireproof, not
in all cats. Oh, but they do.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Why do you have to point that out?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Your new mattress meets fire safety standards issued by the
US Consumer Product Safety Commission. But it will burn if ignited, right, yes? Okay?
For what kind of a maniac buys a mattress and
then keeps taking a lighter and mattress to Oh let's
see if this thing will burn? What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Somebody did something, that's why it's there.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
You know what, Go out in the yard, watch the
grass grow. Okay, things you need to know about your
new mattress. Don't smoke in bed. This is a common
cause of bedroom fires.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Do you know anybody who smokes cigarettes or cigars in
their bed? Or I don't know, maybe whatever you're smoking
jazz cigarettes, let's say, I mean, what are you that's disgusting.
I don't look. Whatever you want to do, it's your house,
it's your bed. If you want to smoke cigarettes in it,
that's fine. Uh, but I don't get it. I can't
imagine such a.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Thing that doesn't belong in the bedroom.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Seems weird to me. Yeah. Now, I will tell you
that my dad used to smoke cigarettes in bed. Yeah, yeah,
that's right, and he was sleeping with me while he
did it. You know why why Because mom kicked him
out because he was smoking cigarettes in her bed. Right,
so you just hey, but I'm just going dy have
a cigarette, all right, let's see. Uh, keep matches and
(09:42):
lighters away from children. Children can burn the mattress lighters.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And what is are you like trigger treat handing out
lighters and matches?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
What's happening?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Let's let's do a quick recap. Don't smoke in the
bed that can catch it on fire. Don't try to
catch it on fire yourself with a cigarette lighter. And
also make sure the kids aren't running around with cigarette
lighters and matches around the mattress. They're very concerned about
this thing going up in smoke. Don't use candles near
the mattress.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Sure more flame, Okay, keep space.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Heaters away from the mattress. Uh huh. Don't run electrical
cords under your bed. How about that? Yeah. Don't sleep
with a baby or let a baby sleep in the bed. Yeah,
I don't know, it's I guess you don't want to
roll over on it. I guess in its own bed.
(10:39):
Let's see, throw away the plastic wrapping, don't give it
to your kids. Dispose of old mattress before it becomes
a fire hazard.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
This is so specific.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They're so concerned about this thing catching on fire. Yeah, okay,
do we Is that a problem in this country? Spontaneous
mattress combustion is? It's funny is happening a lot?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
All the car fires that spontaneously happened on seventy nine
and now we have to worry about the mattresses.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Now we're going to start getting calls for people going
you know, and now that you mentioned it, we had
a mattress at the house that they kept catching on fire.
We go in and put it out. The Jack and
Nikki Show two WVAQ time now to take the pulse
of the great state of West Virginia. As we talk
about drivers being punished for going too slow in the
(11:28):
fast lane, how do you're the worst driver I've ever
seen in my life. You're the worst driver. You never
did know how to drive. You know how to drive.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
None of us even know how to drive.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I don't know how to drive.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
You don't know how to drive.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
The worst driver of all time, the worst driver on
the plutete. Well, that's kind of what we're talking about.
It's finally happened. It is glorious. Louisiana drivers can now
face penalties, including possible jail time, for driving below the
speed limit in the left lane on the interstate How
(12:01):
far below the speed limit? One mile below? Oh goodness,
that's right. The new law imposes a one hundred and
fifty dollars fine for the first offense. It is increased
by one hundred dollars for each subsequent offense. Repeat offenders
also face a thirty day jail sentence.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, they're serious.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
They're very serious.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Okay, Yeah, they're they're tired of it. They're cracking down.
And you know what, I totally get it, I really do.
And I have advocating for this type of legislation here
in West Virginia for a long time. And my question
to you is, would you get on board with this?
(12:47):
If someone were to introduce this legislation in the great
state of West Virginia, would you support it? Is this
something that you would like to see happen? Yay and
or nay? Eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six
forty call Us or Texas. You can also text us
at three five sixty five one. Nicki Drake, let's begin
with you. I'm for it all y very good, yay
(13:10):
from Nicki Drake.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Yeah, no, yeah, I I would like to know the
specifics of like how long you have to be in
the left lane for it to be, you know, considered
a crime.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, it's good. It's a good question.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Yeah, because I guess it also depends on the flow
of traffic too, Like there's gonna be some little caveats,
but how long are you holding up traffic?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah, and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So I would say, but I'm for it if I
were to write the legislation, and you people better hope
that never happens. But if I were to write the legislation,
I give you a mile a mile. Yeah, I think
that's reasonable. I think if you're camped out for more
than a mile, you've probably had a chance to get over.
And anything really under the speed limit is impeding traffic.
(13:59):
I mean, it is the past lane and it is madness.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
In now what if you're going over the speeding speed limit,
you're speeding, you're in the left lane, people are still
tailing you.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
And you're over the speed limits, then.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
What Well, you're already breaking the speed limit, so you
can't really punish somebody for impeding traffic at the same
time you're finding them for speeding. So I think as
long as you're only the speed limited in the passing
lane or at the speed limit, then I would say
that's fine. Then you're fine, I would say, so, yeah, ok, yeah,
all right, this is highly unorthodox, a huge mistake. But
let's see what's happening on the studio lines. You are
(14:35):
on the Jack and Nikki Show. What do you have
for us here? Hi?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
John Williams, How are you?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh? Hi John Williams. You what would you like to
say here? John?
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Well, so we've thanks for having me on. We've had
a bill that does exactly this the past couple of years.
And Jack, your instinct is correct that, uh that bill
does prescribe no more than one mile riding in the
fast lane.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Okay, very good.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Yeah, so you're you're you're on far. I'd say, you're
you're close to being the Speaker of the House already.
And then Nicki, Nicki Drake, you made the good, good point. Well,
if you're only going one mile below the speed limit.
Then inevitably going any faster has you breaking another law.
(15:33):
And so I think Louisiana's crack at this is imperfect.
You shouldn't have to go. It's not the fast lane,
it's the passing Lane's going fifty five miles per hour
in the right lane. You have every right to overtake
them at sixty miles per hour if the speed limit
is seventy, but you better get back on over there
(15:55):
after you're done. And Nikki, I know that you're from
the northern Panhandle. You encounter a lot of drivers from
Ohio in your day. Yep, yep, And so this is
who we we have been thinking of. But the problem
that we found is how does a police officer prove
that he was behind someone for one mile? And so
for that reason, the bill hasn't been passed yet, but
(16:20):
I wanted to throw that out there. Well, I always
think about if I should weigh in on embarrassing things
that have happened to me on vacation. Pretty good one
for me.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, listen, this is John, you know, friend of the show.
We're always happy to have you. You feel free to
call in anytime, whether it's discussing legislative issues as we
do here at the Jack and Nikki Show. This is,
you know, primarily.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
An educational program.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Or you know, if you want to call in and
describe whatever underpantry whatever, that's that's fine, okay, But at
the risk of this turning into a filibuster, we're going
to have to let you go. Thanks for the call, John,
Thank you. How about that?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Look at that man answer.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
There's a man who's actually making policy in West Virginia.
This guy is a representative of the people at the
capitol and he's listening to this show for some reason
and calling in and participating.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
We do Are you trying to make a point with that.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Or I'm not sure what I'm making, but I do
know this. Before we go, I would like to go
ahead and toss in this public service announcement that we
always run on the show. Yes, a lot of times
at the end of the show we'll toss this in,
and it seems like now it's as good as time
as any. Hello. I am here to make the PSA
that it is totally fine to drive slow on the interstate.
Do what makes you feel comfortable. But if you're going
(17:38):
to do that, get out of.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
The left lane.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yet move, get Hubert move. Wrapping up our discussion about
lawbreakers in the passing lane, it seems to me like
the people I've seen driving slow in the passing lane
and impeding traffic lack not only situational awareness but also
self awareness because they don't realize how very much we
(18:06):
all hate them. They're ruining the lives of everyone around them.
I see this every single day, multiple times, over and
over and over. I drive from Clarksburg to Morgantown in
the morning and then back later in the day, and
even on my way in at four o'clock in the morning,
(18:29):
when there are four cars on the interstate, two of
them will be in the passing lane doing sixty And
I'm like, who are these people?
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, let's go feel better kind of yeah, a little bit,
a little bit. Thanks, Thanks for sitting over there with
your hands on your hips. Get that off my chest.
Yeah you really.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Are just letting you go.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
With each pass day of the show gets more and
more like my marriage. Okay, I have to be allowed
to vent. I guess you can.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I'm not stopping.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I know you're not. You know you're going along, which
I appreciate, all right, So look, people are texting in
on this the story out of Louisiana, where if I
can pull that back up here just to give you
the details on this. So what they're going to do
in Louisiana is they're gonna start imposing one hundred and
fifty dollars fine for people who are driving one mile
(19:32):
below the speed limit in the left lane on the interstate.
And that's going to be bumped up one hundred dollars
for each subsequent offense. And if it goes on long enough,
they're going to put you in jail for thirty days. Yes, okay,
we are seeing support for this in West Virginia. You're
supporting it. I'm supporting it. We just got a call
from State Rep. John Williams, who that was risky. I
(19:54):
mean he called it and admitted that he listens to
this show. So that's politically that could cost him. But
he told us what's going on. We've had a couple
of attempts at this in West Virginia that didn't work out.
Now let's go the text here, Nikki, what are you
seeing on the text line?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Okay, so I think this person they're confused, and that's fine.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Sure, they're all for it, but it's confusing.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
What if someone from another state visits Louisiana, Will they
be fine for driving slow in the fast lane yet
they aren't familiar with the new law, or is this
law just for Louisiana drivers.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Okay, I'm going to take a stab at this.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, Okay, go ahead, Okay, I'm going.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
To take stab at it. I have to assume that
it does apply to you, yeah, because you are in
their state, yes, right, Yeah, it's like handgun laws. If
I'm packing in West Virginia, fine, but if I go
into a neighboring state, they might have different handgun laws.
Maybe I have to have a permit there, or it
can't be concealed or you know, you got to go
by the state laws.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
It's also it's not the fast lane, it's the passing rain.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yeah, which, and that's true. And to be fair, I
think I I said fast lane earlier, and that's on me.
I think that because kind of colloquially you just referred
to it as.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
A gast lane because you're passing in it and you're
speeding up to be in that lane and move then
you move back over and I know You're not just
supposed to hang out in that lane.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I know I said that earlier. So before you start
yelling hypocrite, you said it. I know I said it.
You're right, but it is. It is the passing passing lane.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
So just because you're in that quote unquote fast lane,
as Texter said, you're not supposed to just be hanging
out there no matter what state you're in.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Well, you know, there's a I think it was in Ohio.
I saw a billboard on the interstate that said, we
don't camp out in your living room, don't camp out
in our passing lanes.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I like that, right, that's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, I finally got something. Right, Okay, what else you got?
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Oh, let's see.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Let's see.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
As long as it keeps eighteen wheelers from driving side
by side for miles at a time, sign me up.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, you know what, the last thing I need is
a convoy when I'm trying to get somewhere. It is
really they try to pass each other on a hill
and you see it coming, you are on your way,
you see them off in the distance. You're in the
passing lane, and it's two tractor trailers are more yep,
in the slow lane, and just as you're getting there,
you see one of these wizards pull out, and you
(22:15):
go no, because you know they're going to get bogged
down on the hill and they're not going to be
able to break fifty five. And now you're stuck behind
these people. Yep, yep, they need to be fined.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Your face is turning pink.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You get a fine and.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Breadth all right? At this point, are they encouraging us
to speed though? How much over the speed limit can
I go? I fully support it, but one mile per
hour is strict.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Well, so yeah, you want to go at it or
you want me to take this one? Go ahead? All right?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Your face is already pinks, thank you, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Let me do this beframa stroke. You're not allowed to speed.
They're not saying that you can go over the speed limit.
The one mile per hour is just that's under the
speed limit. That's impeding. So if you're doing sixty nine
in the passing lane and speed limit seventy, then technically
you're impeding, so that it's impeding. But what they're saying
is get over, pass, get back in, but do it
(23:12):
while you're not breaking the speed limit. Yeah, so they're
not encouraging the speed. They're just saying seventy, which I
must say.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Is very difficult in this area. I can't tell a tale.
I was in.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Maryland over the weekend and we were driving back, and
I'm coming down a hill because you know that beautiful
rest area where it's welcome to Maryland and it's where
the mountain is split and you've got all the different
kinds of rock and everything.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Oh so pretty.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Anyway, so we're coming back from that rest area and
coming down the hill. Everybody's going eighty because you're coming
down that hill. Maybe we hit eighty five, and the
person behind me is trying to pass all of us,
and we're stuck because everybody, you know, it's a flow
of traffic and we're all coming down the hill.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Eventually we all move.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Over and room Hong Kong, Hong Kong, and they're going
like ninety.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And that man was in a lifted Chevy Silverado with bushy,
bushy blonde hairdo I thought it was you? He was
never identified.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
No one may assume that it was the Nerve Center
of North central West Virginia. Jack Loger and Nicki Drake
on one oh two.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
WVAQ Jack and Niki show continues now with a look
at terrible parenting, the worst thing you can do as
a parent, basically the worst paradipmic. You must think we're
the worst parents in the world. Well, a lot of
people are saying that. Yes, So this is the part
of the show where Nikki and I essentially criticize parents
(24:47):
despite the fact that we have no children and don't
know anything about raising children. But there's some things we
can take a stab at, and one of those things
is if you have kids, you probably should not abandon
them in an airport.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Right, reasonable, Right, Yeah, it seems very reasonable.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
The New York Post says mother and father abandoned their
ten year old son at an airport after realizing that
they didn't pack his travel visa.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Uh oh.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
They called a relative to pick the boy up after
they boarded a plane to go on vacation. So they
left him at the airport, went ahead and got on
the plane mm hmm, and then called somebody and said, hey,
we're on the plane and we're getting ready to fly
away and have the time of our lives. And Peewee's
out there wondering around lost in the airport. Just if
you could show up and track him down and take
(25:33):
him home, that'd be great. But there's no rush.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
This sounds like something your parents would have done.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
My parents wouldn't have asked anybody to come and get back.
They would have just left my mistake. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
But thanks Nikki for bringing up my painful childhood rubbing
salt my wounds.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
You can always call on you.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Airport police officers later removed the parent's luggage from the
flight along with the parents. What an odd way to
write that sentence. They took them off the plane. Okay,
they went onto the plane and said, you've abandoned your child,
come with us. Oh, let's get your luggage while we're here.
They took them to the police station for questioning.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Yeah, child abandonment.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Questions like where did you learn how to parent? Came up.
By the way, it's unknown if these two were arrested,
but what we do know is that they did have
to return there Parents of the Year plaque.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Oh that's so unfortunate, too bad.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah, they always kept that nice and shiny.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah they did, yees bit shined it all right. So
let me ask you this while we're just while we're
talking about parenting, and I'm not, by the way, we
are at this point talking about terrible parenting. But this
is this is just a parenting question in general. Nothing
terrible about this. Seemed like a good time to bring
it up though. I was at the clock bloah. I
was at the Clarksburg walmart yesterday, okay, and I saw
(26:54):
two parents with four kids using a numbering system to
contain these two. So my question to you is, if
you have a lot of kids, three, four, or five kids,
do you assign numbers to those kids? Oh, to make
it easier. Okay, Now, they were in front of me walking,
not unlike a flock of geese. Okay, the dad's up front. Yeah,
(27:16):
dad's upfront with a boy, and then the mom is
behind him and she has three girls. And while they're walking,
I hear her say one, two, three, this way, four
stay with dad, and they just peeled off one, two,
and three went with her to the left. It four
went with dad.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Well that that works. That's very organized, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, And I thought this is just a time saver,
so you don't have to say all of their names.
And obviously they use this system a lot, but I
was impressed.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Yeah, I like it. Yeah, we have numbered ourselves in
my family, okay, because there's.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Ten grandchildren and so I'm number one, and then it
goes from there and we've numbered ourselves just because there's
so many of us.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
He decided on this numbering, was it you?
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Uh, you know what, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Honestly, I don't remember it was you because I can
be number one.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, it seems unlikely that somebody else came up with
the idea. And I'll be number three. Let's make nick
in birth.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Order, so I'm the oldest, and then you know, my
sister's next, so she's number two, and then from you
know on down to the tenth grandkid.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
So, but it works and we all kind of stick
to it.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Please tell me when you and your sister decide to
do something. Yeah, and you have to take the initiative
on it that she says, make it so number one
If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WVQ dot com,
join Jack and Nicky live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Today, something a little different for you. Set your faces
to stunt, Brace yourselves braced, Find your fainting chair, your
fainting couch, whatever. Have some people standing by. This is
gonna shock you. Okay, okay. The Oldborg Zoo in Denmark
(00:39):
wants to replicate natural food chains for their animals. Okay,
they think this is good for the animals. They say,
just tossing them food, you know, it's not natural for them.
They're already in cages. Let's try to replicate what it's
like in nature.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Oh you mean just a presented buffet of food is
not natural.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
That's right, That's exactly right. I can't wait to see
the tiny smart come off of your face when I
tell you what their plan is to help these animals.
They are asking people who live there in that area,
in that country to donate their pets as food for
the zoo animals.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Their pets. What kind of pets are they looking for?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, they want healthy pets.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
They're pets. No, a live pet.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yes, yes, because what they want to do is, you know,
replicate the natural food chain by releasing your pets into
the zoo so the zoo animals can hunt them and
devour them.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Donate their pets.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That is a great question. Yea, So just silly.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Ask because if you have a pet, let's say it's
a rabbit, and you love your rabbit, then you're not
going to take your pets to the zoo to donate
its to be eaten.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Rabbit is on the list, is it? They're asking for rabbits,
guinea pigs, chickens, horses, basic cases. Yeah, just any kind
of animal that you have have that you've loved and
taken care of for maybe you know, a decade or more,
and uh, you know, then the animal gets older and
you're like, well, you know, we could euthanize to you
(02:11):
and have a dignified service or or hear me out, fluffy,
change of plans. Instead of sleeping in the sun spot
on the carpet today in the living room, we're gonna
drop you off of the zoo where you'll be hunted
for sport.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Right, great, terrified, last moments, This is horrible Is.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
This not one of the most horrible things you've ever heard?
This is awful, This is truly awful.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I would never take my pet like, No, that's my pet,
first of all.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
No, that's right. I love my pet, all right, Take
it easy. Nobody's gonna take your cat. Nobody's gonna take
your cat from you and ship it to Denmark for
sport in a lion cage. By the way, that would
also be uh that that would be in the uh,
the natural order of things, a house cat being hunted
by a lion for food. But you listen, you hit
(03:03):
on the question you that you blurted out as soon
as I brought this up. Who would do this? Who
would do this? And I'm wondering, is this a way
to spot people in our society, in their society who
maybe were born without a soul, people who are just
(03:23):
dead inside? You know, your your serial killers, people like
that where you say, hey, bring your pets in and
we're going to feed them to our zoo animals. And
then anybody who shows up with their pet, you throw
the cuffs on them and you take them away, because
you go, this person is clearly a danger to society
because they are willing to feed their pet to an
animal at the zoo. I hope that's what they're doing. Yeah,
(03:47):
I hope that would be I hope there's a follow
up news story in a few weeks where they say
in Denmark, hundreds of people have been rounded up after
it was determined that they didn't have souls because they
tried to feed their pets to zoo animals. Shocking, right,
it's very shocking.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Why do they think this is a good idea?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, I mean it's they think it's good for the
zoo animals because you know, now they get to hunt.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Sure, Yeah, what do you.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Guys think about this? Would would you agree with us
that this is a way to get a read on
perhaps a troubled person. Is this a good way to
try to get some insight into somebody? Because would would
any reasonable person with any kind of love for their
pets or empathy? Would any reasonable person do this?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't either.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I just don't see who who's going to do this?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
See how disgusted you are? Eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty is the studio and text line.
You can also text us at three five sixty five
to one. By the way, I'd like to do as
we wrap this up, just to quick compare and contrast,
this is going on in Denmark. Okay. Conversely, this is
how spoiled pets are in America. Here's a German shepherd
(05:00):
being told that he's not allowed to go to the
water slide park.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I love you.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
I couldn't take you to the water park.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm so sorry. It wasn't my fault.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
There's there's not a doggy water park for you.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I come here.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I love you, I love you, I love you.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
This is how pets should be treated. It's Jack and
Nikki with open studio and textual lines as we talk
about your snoring, and also this hilarious guide to owning
a new mattress, which I really just can't wait to
(05:48):
get to.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yes, I'm really nervous about this.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Old boy is right. So I've been having massive computer
problems every here morning. I have no way to get
to any of the text lines. Do we do we
have any snoring advice coming in?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
No, they're okay with you being elbowed.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
In the red That's fine. Yeah, that's that's that's exactly right.
Thanks so much. Kind of support I expect on the show.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You know, it's really strange that you bring up storing
because I've been getting ads in my different social media
apps for like this magnetic nose puller outer thingy that
you put these little adhesives on the sides of your
nose and then you put like a breathe ripe type
strip over top and it pulls out.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
You're have you tried that?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Not really? I I am I stronger than the strips.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
You just buy it the store.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I don't. That's that's a weird solution to me, because
you know, what's happening. The snoring is, you know, kind
of in the back of your throat. You know, I don't.
I don't know how much you know, opening my nostrils
slightly is going to help that.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
But I mean it's worth a shot.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Everything is worth a show.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Screw it, I've already bought the bed. If the bed
doesn't solve it, then you know, there's no then there
is no hope. But I'm giving it a shot. All right,
We'll see how it goes. But but like I said,
there's that there's you're supposed to maybe drink honey they're
supposed to be like coating the throat olive oil. I
was told somebody. Yeah, they said, drink some olive oil.
And then you know, you won't care if you're a
(07:17):
sleep or not because you wish you were dead because
you've been just drinking olive oil.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I mean, you don't drink a whole bottle. It's just
like a tablespoon.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Information I could have used early. Yeah, I was chugging
this stuff. Okay, that's fine, all right, So I have
Nikki in my right hand. Yes, the instructions on using
the new mattress. Okay, it's called don't go to sleep yet.
As you can see, it says, right, go to sleep yet. Yes,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
There's a big yellow background.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's some little illustrations that's got your circle with a
line through it for a bunch of things.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
All right. You know. The weird thing is one of
the one of these, one of these pictures with the
circle around in the line through. It looks like a
guy taking a dump.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You don't poop the bed, don't enjoy your new mattress.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Please don't defecate on it. That's very odd. Okay, So
let's start with the most important one. This actually came
with a mattress. Your new mattress is not fireproof, not
in all cats. Oh, but they do.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Why do you have to point that out?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Your new mattress meets fire safety standards issued by the
US Consumer Product Safety Commission. But it will burn if ignited, right, yes? Okay?
For what kind of a maniac buys a mattress and
then keeps taking a lighter and mattress to Oh let's
see if this thing will burn? What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Somebody did something, that's why it's there.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
You know what, Go out in the yard, watch the
grass grow. Okay, things you need to know about your
new mattress. Don't smoke in bed. This is a common
cause of bedroom fires.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Do you know anybody who smokes cigarettes or cigars in
their bed? Or I don't know, maybe whatever you're smoking
jazz cigarettes, let's say, I mean, what are you that's disgusting.
I don't look. Whatever you want to do, it's your house,
it's your bed. If you want to smoke cigarettes in it,
that's fine. Uh, but I don't get it. I can't
imagine such a.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Thing that doesn't belong in the bedroom.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Seems weird to me. Yeah. Now, I will tell you
that my dad used to smoke cigarettes in bed. Yeah, yeah,
that's right, and he was sleeping with me while he
did it. You know why why Because mom kicked him
out because he was smoking cigarettes in her bed. Right,
so you just hey, but I'm just going dy have
a cigarette, all right, let's see. Uh, keep matches and
(09:42):
lighters away from children. Children can burn the mattress lighters.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And what is are you like trigger treat handing out
lighters and matches?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
What's happening?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Let's let's do a quick recap. Don't smoke in the
bed that can catch it on fire. Don't try to
catch it on fire yourself with a cigarette lighter. And
also make sure the kids aren't running around with cigarette
lighters and matches around the mattress. They're very concerned about
this thing going up in smoke. Don't use candles near
the mattress.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Sure more flame, Okay, keep space.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Heaters away from the mattress. Uh huh. Don't run electrical
cords under your bed. How about that? Yeah. Don't sleep
with a baby or let a baby sleep in the bed. Yeah,
I don't know, it's I guess you don't want to
roll over on it. I guess in its own bed.
(10:39):
Let's see, throw away the plastic wrapping, don't give it
to your kids. Dispose of old mattress before it becomes
a fire hazard.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
This is so specific.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They're so concerned about this thing catching on fire. Yeah, okay,
do we Is that a problem in this country? Spontaneous
mattress combustion is? It's funny is happening a lot?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
All the car fires that spontaneously happened on seventy nine
and now we have to worry about the mattresses.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Now we're going to start getting calls for people going
you know, and now that you mentioned it, we had
a mattress at the house that they kept catching on fire.
We go in and put it out. The Jack and
Nikki Show two WVAQ time now to take the pulse
of the great state of West Virginia. As we talk
about drivers being punished for going too slow in the
(11:28):
fast lane, how do you're the worst driver I've ever
seen in my life. You're the worst driver. You never
did know how to drive. You know how to drive.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
None of us even know how to drive.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I don't know how to drive.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
You don't know how to drive.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
The worst driver of all time, the worst driver on
the plutete. Well, that's kind of what we're talking about.
It's finally happened. It is glorious. Louisiana drivers can now
face penalties, including possible jail time, for driving below the
speed limit in the left lane on the interstate How
(12:01):
far below the speed limit? One mile below? Oh goodness,
that's right. The new law imposes a one hundred and
fifty dollars fine for the first offense. It is increased
by one hundred dollars for each subsequent offense. Repeat offenders
also face a thirty day jail sentence.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, they're serious.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
They're very serious.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Okay, Yeah, they're they're tired of it. They're cracking down.
And you know what, I totally get it, I really do.
And I have advocating for this type of legislation here
in West Virginia for a long time. And my question
to you is, would you get on board with this?
(12:47):
If someone were to introduce this legislation in the great
state of West Virginia, would you support it? Is this
something that you would like to see happen? Yay and
or nay? Eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six
forty call Us or Texas. You can also text us
at three five sixty five one. Nicki Drake, let's begin
with you. I'm for it all y very good, yay
(13:10):
from Nicki Drake.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Yeah, no, yeah, I I would like to know the
specifics of like how long you have to be in
the left lane for it to be, you know, considered
a crime.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, it's good. It's a good question.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Yeah, because I guess it also depends on the flow
of traffic too, Like there's gonna be some little caveats,
but how long are you holding up traffic?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah, and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So I would say, but I'm for it if I
were to write the legislation, and you people better hope
that never happens. But if I were to write the legislation,
I give you a mile a mile. Yeah, I think
that's reasonable. I think if you're camped out for more
than a mile, you've probably had a chance to get over.
And anything really under the speed limit is impeding traffic.
(13:59):
I mean, it is the past lane and it is madness.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
In now what if you're going over the speeding speed limit,
you're speeding, you're in the left lane, people are still
tailing you.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
And you're over the speed limits, then.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
What Well, you're already breaking the speed limit, so you
can't really punish somebody for impeding traffic at the same
time you're finding them for speeding. So I think as
long as you're only the speed limited in the passing
lane or at the speed limit, then I would say
that's fine. Then you're fine, I would say, so, yeah, ok, yeah,
all right, this is highly unorthodox, a huge mistake. But
let's see what's happening on the studio lines. You are
(14:35):
on the Jack and Nikki Show. What do you have
for us here? Hi?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
John Williams, How are you?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh? Hi John Williams. You what would you like to
say here? John?
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Well, so we've thanks for having me on. We've had
a bill that does exactly this the past couple of years.
And Jack, your instinct is correct that, uh that bill
does prescribe no more than one mile riding in the
fast lane.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Okay, very good.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Yeah, so you're you're you're on far. I'd say, you're
you're close to being the Speaker of the House already.
And then Nicki, Nicki Drake, you made the good, good point. Well,
if you're only going one mile below the speed limit.
Then inevitably going any faster has you breaking another law.
(15:33):
And so I think Louisiana's crack at this is imperfect.
You shouldn't have to go. It's not the fast lane,
it's the passing Lane's going fifty five miles per hour
in the right lane. You have every right to overtake
them at sixty miles per hour if the speed limit
is seventy, but you better get back on over there
(15:55):
after you're done. And Nikki, I know that you're from
the northern Panhandle. You encounter a lot of drivers from
Ohio in your day. Yep, yep, And so this is
who we we have been thinking of. But the problem
that we found is how does a police officer prove
that he was behind someone for one mile? And so
for that reason, the bill hasn't been passed yet, but
(16:20):
I wanted to throw that out there. Well, I always
think about if I should weigh in on embarrassing things
that have happened to me on vacation. Pretty good one
for me.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, listen, this is John, you know, friend of the show.
We're always happy to have you. You feel free to
call in anytime, whether it's discussing legislative issues as we
do here at the Jack and Nikki Show. This is,
you know, primarily.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
An educational program.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Or you know, if you want to call in and
describe whatever underpantry whatever, that's that's fine, okay, But at
the risk of this turning into a filibuster, we're going
to have to let you go. Thanks for the call, John,
Thank you. How about that?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Look at that man answer.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
There's a man who's actually making policy in West Virginia.
This guy is a representative of the people at the
capitol and he's listening to this show for some reason
and calling in and participating.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
We do Are you trying to make a point with that.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Or I'm not sure what I'm making, but I do
know this. Before we go, I would like to go
ahead and toss in this public service announcement that we
always run on the show. Yes, a lot of times
at the end of the show we'll toss this in,
and it seems like now it's as good as time
as any. Hello. I am here to make the PSA
that it is totally fine to drive slow on the interstate.
Do what makes you feel comfortable. But if you're going
(17:38):
to do that, get out of.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
The left lane.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yet move, get Hubert move. Wrapping up our discussion about
lawbreakers in the passing lane, it seems to me like
the people I've seen driving slow in the passing lane
and impeding traffic lack not only situational awareness but also
self awareness because they don't realize how very much we
(18:06):
all hate them. They're ruining the lives of everyone around them.
I see this every single day, multiple times, over and
over and over. I drive from Clarksburg to Morgantown in
the morning and then back later in the day, and
even on my way in at four o'clock in the morning,
(18:29):
when there are four cars on the interstate, two of
them will be in the passing lane doing sixty And
I'm like, who are these people?
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, let's go feel better kind of yeah, a little bit,
a little bit. Thanks, Thanks for sitting over there with
your hands on your hips. Get that off my chest.
Yeah you really.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Are just letting you go.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
With each pass day of the show gets more and
more like my marriage. Okay, I have to be allowed
to vent. I guess you can.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I'm not stopping.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I know you're not. You know you're going along, which
I appreciate, all right, So look, people are texting in
on this the story out of Louisiana, where if I
can pull that back up here just to give you
the details on this. So what they're going to do
in Louisiana is they're gonna start imposing one hundred and
fifty dollars fine for people who are driving one mile
(19:32):
below the speed limit in the left lane on the interstate.
And that's going to be bumped up one hundred dollars
for each subsequent offense. And if it goes on long enough,
they're going to put you in jail for thirty days. Yes, okay,
we are seeing support for this in West Virginia. You're
supporting it. I'm supporting it. We just got a call
from State Rep. John Williams, who that was risky. I
(19:54):
mean he called it and admitted that he listens to
this show. So that's politically that could cost him. But
he told us what's going on. We've had a couple
of attempts at this in West Virginia that didn't work out.
Now let's go the text here, Nikki, what are you
seeing on the text line?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Okay, so I think this person they're confused, and that's fine.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Sure, they're all for it, but it's confusing.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
What if someone from another state visits Louisiana, Will they
be fine for driving slow in the fast lane yet
they aren't familiar with the new law, or is this
law just for Louisiana drivers.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Okay, I'm going to take a stab at this.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, Okay, go ahead, Okay, I'm going.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
To take stab at it. I have to assume that
it does apply to you, yeah, because you are in
their state, yes, right, Yeah, it's like handgun laws. If
I'm packing in West Virginia, fine, but if I go
into a neighboring state, they might have different handgun laws.
Maybe I have to have a permit there, or it
can't be concealed or you know, you got to go
by the state laws.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
It's also it's not the fast lane, it's the passing rain.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yeah, which, and that's true. And to be fair, I
think I I said fast lane earlier, and that's on me.
I think that because kind of colloquially you just referred
to it as.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
A gast lane because you're passing in it and you're
speeding up to be in that lane and move then
you move back over and I know You're not just
supposed to hang out in that lane.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I know I said that earlier. So before you start
yelling hypocrite, you said it. I know I said it.
You're right, but it is. It is the passing passing lane.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
So just because you're in that quote unquote fast lane,
as Texter said, you're not supposed to just be hanging
out there no matter what state you're in.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Well, you know, there's a I think it was in Ohio.
I saw a billboard on the interstate that said, we
don't camp out in your living room, don't camp out
in our passing lanes.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I like that, right, that's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, I finally got something. Right, Okay, what else you got?
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Oh, let's see.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Let's see.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
As long as it keeps eighteen wheelers from driving side
by side for miles at a time, sign me up.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, you know what, the last thing I need is
a convoy when I'm trying to get somewhere. It is
really they try to pass each other on a hill
and you see it coming, you are on your way,
you see them off in the distance. You're in the
passing lane, and it's two tractor trailers are more yep,
in the slow lane, and just as you're getting there,
you see one of these wizards pull out, and you
(22:15):
go no, because you know they're going to get bogged
down on the hill and they're not going to be
able to break fifty five. And now you're stuck behind
these people. Yep, yep, they need to be fined.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Your face is turning pink.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You get a fine and.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Breadth all right? At this point, are they encouraging us
to speed though? How much over the speed limit can
I go? I fully support it, but one mile per
hour is strict.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Well, so yeah, you want to go at it or
you want me to take this one? Go ahead? All right?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Your face is already pinks, thank you, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Let me do this beframa stroke. You're not allowed to speed.
They're not saying that you can go over the speed limit.
The one mile per hour is just that's under the
speed limit. That's impeding. So if you're doing sixty nine
in the passing lane and speed limit seventy, then technically
you're impeding, so that it's impeding. But what they're saying
is get over, pass, get back in, but do it
(23:12):
while you're not breaking the speed limit. Yeah, so they're
not encouraging the speed. They're just saying seventy, which I
must say.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Is very difficult in this area. I can't tell a tale.
I was in.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Maryland over the weekend and we were driving back, and
I'm coming down a hill because you know that beautiful
rest area where it's welcome to Maryland and it's where
the mountain is split and you've got all the different
kinds of rock and everything.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Oh so pretty.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Anyway, so we're coming back from that rest area and
coming down the hill. Everybody's going eighty because you're coming
down that hill. Maybe we hit eighty five, and the
person behind me is trying to pass all of us,
and we're stuck because everybody, you know, it's a flow
of traffic and we're all coming down the hill.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Eventually we all move.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Over and room Hong Kong, Hong Kong, and they're going
like ninety.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And that man was in a lifted Chevy Silverado with bushy,
bushy blonde hairdo I thought it was you? He was
never identified.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
No one may assume that it was the Nerve Center
of North central West Virginia. Jack Loger and Nicki Drake
on one oh two.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
WVAQ Jack and Niki show continues now with a look
at terrible parenting, the worst thing you can do as
a parent, basically the worst paradipmic. You must think we're
the worst parents in the world. Well, a lot of
people are saying that. Yes, So this is the part
of the show where Nikki and I essentially criticize parents
(24:47):
despite the fact that we have no children and don't
know anything about raising children. But there's some things we
can take a stab at, and one of those things
is if you have kids, you probably should not abandon
them in an airport.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Right, reasonable, Right, Yeah, it seems very reasonable.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
The New York Post says mother and father abandoned their
ten year old son at an airport after realizing that
they didn't pack his travel visa.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Uh oh.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
They called a relative to pick the boy up after
they boarded a plane to go on vacation. So they
left him at the airport, went ahead and got on
the plane mm hmm, and then called somebody and said, hey,
we're on the plane and we're getting ready to fly
away and have the time of our lives. And Peewee's
out there wondering around lost in the airport. Just if
you could show up and track him down and take
(25:33):
him home, that'd be great. But there's no rush.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
This sounds like something your parents would have done.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
My parents wouldn't have asked anybody to come and get back.
They would have just left my mistake. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
But thanks Nikki for bringing up my painful childhood rubbing
salt my wounds.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
You can always call on you.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Airport police officers later removed the parent's luggage from the
flight along with the parents. What an odd way to
write that sentence. They took them off the plane. Okay,
they went onto the plane and said, you've abandoned your child,
come with us. Oh, let's get your luggage while we're here.
They took them to the police station for questioning.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Yeah, child abandonment.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Questions like where did you learn how to parent? Came up.
By the way, it's unknown if these two were arrested,
but what we do know is that they did have
to return there Parents of the Year plaque.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Oh that's so unfortunate, too bad.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah, they always kept that nice and shiny.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah they did, yees bit shined it all right. So
let me ask you this while we're just while we're
talking about parenting, and I'm not, by the way, we
are at this point talking about terrible parenting. But this
is this is just a parenting question in general. Nothing
terrible about this. Seemed like a good time to bring
it up though. I was at the clock bloah. I
was at the Clarksburg walmart yesterday, okay, and I saw
(26:54):
two parents with four kids using a numbering system to
contain these two. So my question to you is, if
you have a lot of kids, three, four, or five kids,
do you assign numbers to those kids? Oh, to make
it easier. Okay, Now, they were in front of me walking,
not unlike a flock of geese. Okay, the dad's up front. Yeah,
(27:16):
dad's upfront with a boy, and then the mom is
behind him and she has three girls. And while they're walking,
I hear her say one, two, three, this way, four
stay with dad, and they just peeled off one, two,
and three went with her to the left. It four
went with dad.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Well that that works. That's very organized, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, And I thought this is just a time saver,
so you don't have to say all of their names.
And obviously they use this system a lot, but I
was impressed.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Yeah, I like it. Yeah, we have numbered ourselves in
my family, okay, because there's.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Ten grandchildren and so I'm number one, and then it
goes from there and we've numbered ourselves just because there's
so many of us.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
He decided on this numbering, was it you?
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Uh, you know what, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Honestly, I don't remember it was you because I can
be number one.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, it seems unlikely that somebody else came up with
the idea. And I'll be number three. Let's make nick
in birth.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Order, so I'm the oldest, and then you know, my
sister's next, so she's number two, and then from you
know on down to the tenth grandkid.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
So, but it works and we all kind of stick
to it.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Please tell me when you and your sister decide to
do something. Yeah, and you have to take the initiative
on it that she says, make it so number one
