Joined Jack and Nicky live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Here is something I will tell you. I've seen things, okay,
experience of things, and I'd like to share one of
those things with you right now. Get your thoughts. Studio
and text lines are open eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty call or text us on studio line.
(00:38):
You can also text us at three five sixty five
to one. I was at a hostile haunt in Virginia, Okay,
last week, and I saw something that I've never seen before,
certainly not here in the great state of West Virginia
where God pays attention. Okay, Jessica and I went to
(00:59):
a restaurant in Richmond and we sat down and this
was kind of a medium level restaurant, you know, not
super high end, but not a hole in the wall.
It's kind of a medium place, right.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Like two dollar bills on the Google Maps.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
We're not quite at three maybe two two and a half.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
A place where something like this certainly shouldn't be happening. Though,
let's put it that way. So we sit down and
the table beside us is open for a while, and
then this couple they're escorted to the table. They have
a seat, they sit down. The servers like, I'll be
back with the drinks whatever, blahlah blah. So this is
(01:43):
kind of this is in the evening. And the guy
was wearing like kind of a little windbreaker, kind of jacket. Okay,
this is going to be relevant here, just okay. So
they sit down. They've got backpacks, you know, they're carrying backpacks.
And this is a couple. They appear to be maybe
around fifty years old. Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
He took out an iPad and set it up in
front of him, and then he took out a cell
phone and he put that beside the iPad, making himself
a little workstation. She opened up a bag and pulled
out a stack of coloring books and some crayons, and
she starts coloring. He's on the phone, he's on the iPad.
And then and then he opened up his windbreaker and
(02:26):
pulled out a small dog.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Okay, there was a dog in his windbreaker.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
He had a dog in his his windbreaker. In it
was chew one of these tiny, little, shaky, nervous rat
looking dogs. He pulled that thing out and he put
it on the floor.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Okay, not on the table, that's good.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Put it on the floor. The server came back, took
their orders and left, at which point he picked the
dog up off the floor and put it on the table.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Oh no, no, Jack, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
We're we're watching this and we're thinking, dear God, this
man has pulled a small rat like dog out of
his garment and placed it on the table where people eat.
And he knows he's not supposed to be doing that,
because he didn't do it in front of the server.
He waited on her to leave. Yeah, and then dog
on the table. So we're sitting there going should we
(03:24):
get involved in this? I mean, it's not really our business,
but you know, people eat here. It's kind of an
eygenic and I was saying, should I say something? Should
I strike him? I mean, I'm not sure what the
proper approach is here. Now I will tell you I
did some research. Okay, this seems to be a Virginia thing.
(03:45):
This is apparently not uncommon in Virginia, and from what
I can gather, this is the main reason that West
Virginia broke away from Virginia in eighteen sixty three.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, we could not get on board with placing small
dog on our tables while we were eating at restaurants.
And that was. Now. I don't know what's going to
be in your history books. It might not be covered
in your history books, right, but trust me when I
tell you this was toward the top of the list.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
There was a whole YouTube series on it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, that's right, an eight part series. Now, I will
tell you what we ended up doing after I get
your input. What would you have done in this situation?
Let's make this sporting instead of me just finishing the
story right now, with the exciting conclusion of Ratdog on
the table, let's go to you guys on the studio
(04:34):
text lines eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty.
You can call us. You can text us on the
studio line again. You can also text us At three
five sixty five to one, Nikki break break, Nicki Drake
is furrowing her brow, I am waving her hands and
also scratching her head. What is on your mind?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Because I am confused?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Did these people think that like once the server walked away.
They could no longer see that table from anywhere in
the restaurant. So you pick up the dog, you put
it on the table, and you're never going to be
caught because.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
If the server's not standing there, they can't see you.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That's a fair question.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
And there's other servers walking around, right.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I will tell you this. No one ever said anything
to them.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Really.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, they took the dog off before the food came back. Yeah,
and then after they ate.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Dog back on table.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Dog the table.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Dogs.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Have you ever said anything hang out on the floor,
to sit in a seat, to go back in the windbreaker?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
No, it was it went back back and forth from
the floor to the table.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
You just right, okay?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And I did you know eventually stand up? Okay. We
are from West Virginia people.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I don't know what is going on in your weird state, right,
but this is not how we do things in civilized society.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
And then you picked up the tiny chihuahua, opened the door,
and booted it out of the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I did. I punted these shoes as far as I could,
all right, studio text lines opened. What do you guys think?
What would you have done in this situation? I'm really curious,
and then I'll tell you how this thing unfolded. Next
the conclusion now of dog on the table at a restaurant.
(06:12):
I don't want to say it's the exciting conclusion because
it's not very exciting. I'm gonna be honest with you.
You might be disillusioned. This is it's gonna be anti climactic.
But still, let's just see where you guys come in
on this. You're eating at a restaurant. Some people sit
down beside you, take a dog out of their jacket
and put it on the table. Do you say something now? Again,
(06:34):
this is behind the server's back, the server. When the
server walks away, the dogs picked up off the floor
and put on the table. They see the server, dog
goes back down on floor. You're sitting right beside them.
What's your play on this, Nikki Drake? What are we seeing?
On the text line?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Not in your space? Not your problem, my drone business
you hump?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I just added that for the text. I'm sure they
meant to say that, thank you. Text you guys.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
This other text gets very dramatic.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Okay, best not to say anything about the dog, because
you know what.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Else that guy might have in his windbreaker.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
A nine millimeter and obviously he was a little off
his rocker.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah that's a fair point. Yeah, that is a fair point.
I mean, if you can successfully carry a dog into
a restaurant in your jacket, you probably have a whole
lot of other things in your jacket that people weren't
aware of, right, one of which could be a weapon. Sure, right,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Or just like one of those never ending scarves that
clown's pulling.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Out, Just one of those, right, there's that there's a weapon.
Or let's face it, he you know, he could have
just beaten me to death with the dog. It was
a small dog, right, all right? Let me see text line.
You should have said something to someone, the couple, the server,
(07:51):
the manager or someone. Text you should have excused yourself
to go to the restroom and then talk to the manager.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Oh look at that.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah yeah, just kind of sneaking around, poking your nose
in other people's business. And then I like this when
a text you should have taken a cat out of
your shirt?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah where was your cat?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
You know what, if only I could, If only I could.
All right, let's go ahead now and get to what
actually happened. Here's how I handled the situation. Are you ready,
I'm ready. Okay, then here's what I did. I did nothing.
I slinked away like a coward, because as one of
(08:33):
these texts said that you were there, that you know
it's it's not. It's really not my business. No, it's not.
That's between the restaurant and the patron. That's for them
to deal with. And if if you're running that restaurant
and you're not noticing that people are releasing animals onto
(08:54):
your tables, yes, that's on you. I can't fix that. Plus,
it's not I mean, if I'm being honest, it's not
a place I'm going to frequent. I was there once,
I'll probably never be back. It was in another state.
It's not like I'm there every week right now. There
are restaurants around here I go to all the time,
and if I see a dog's butthole touching the table there,
(09:16):
you can bet I'm probably gonna say something because I
might end up at that table next time I go in. Right, Yeah, right,
So let's just let's just be clear on it. But
that is how it turned out. Thank you for playing
What Would You Do?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
The area's number one rated morning show. Let's go, let's
go Jack and Nicky one O two wv AQ.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Let's head to the health desk now to get our
learn on. It's not healthy.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It didn't sound healthy at all.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Oh I'm not healthy. That he's not healthy. It wouldn't
be healthy.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
What's the worst that could happen?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, that's a good question. What is the worst that
can happen? And Nikki has uncovered a story here this
morning about cracking your knuckles? What is the story making?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
The story is it does not cause arthritis, And this
is something that we've all been told, right, Yeah, cracking
your knuckles is bad for your health. It's dangerous. It
could cause joint damage and arthritis. But specialists, they now
say that there's no scientific evidence to support these claims.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
There's no evidence for this.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
There's no scientific evidence to support these claims.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
So what was this all just theory all these years,
just a hypothesis that people have. They're just like, wow,
if you crack your knuckles, it must be bad. It well,
because I can hear it crack, it must be bad.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yeah, there's but no evidence.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
So I think I think I believe that we were
all told to not crack our knuckles because it was
just annoying to other people.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, people just didn't want to hear it.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I just didn't want to listen to it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
They would just say, don't do that. It's bad, bad
for you. Yeah, but it's not. And that's where we're
going to go into a conspiratorial hole here. With open
studio text lines eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty
six forty call us. You can text us at that number.
You can also text us at three five sixty five one.
Let's flesh this out. Nikki Drake is of the opinion
(11:12):
that this is just one example of many things that
are harmless for you, but you've been told to not
do because other people simply don't want to deal with it.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, just like stop doing that, h yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
And we have some other examples here.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
M hm, Well, like stop making that face. It's going
to freeze like that. You know you're gonna get stuck
looking like that. Yeah, that's one of them, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah. I was cautioned against yodling as a child. Yodeling, Yeah,
they said it would injure my vocal cords. But it
turns out people just didn't want to hear that. Oh,
especially especially pre pubescent yodling. Oh that's the worst kind
of yodling.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Some say, I mean, it's a very unique kind, but
I disagree.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I think the worst kind of yodling is mid pevestment.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yes, mid's my favorite kind.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, when the voice is breaking, that's the worst kind.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I like that the best.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Surprisingly unpopular. Okay, what else you got while you're working
on your theory?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Here, that's what I've got right now.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I'm very interested to know what other people.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, okay, so that are ultimately probably harmless. And this
is I imagine things that we were probably mostly told
as children that we shouldn't be doing because it's going
to be a problem, like.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
A harmless urban myths kind of you know.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, right, yeah, this is the concept.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Okay, yeah, okay, all right, Well let's see what we
get here talking about things you were warned against that
turned out to be harmless. And now you've basically spent
your life not doing these things, and perhaps you feel
ripped off, Maybe you feel cheated out of some of
these full pleasures in life that you could have been
(13:02):
enjoying but did not because you were a skeered What
are we seeing coming in on the textual lines Nikki Drake.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Okay, driving with a light on in the car is illegal.
I was told that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, yep, yeah, I've heard this one. And that's a
good way to get people to not do that.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah. Hmm. Well, I guess if you're in the car
with that person, you perhaps would be annoyed. Yeah, but
you know, newer vehicles aren't. Really, it's not much of
an issue now because it used to be that there
was a dome light in the center that just scattered
light over the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Right, Yeah, because I wouldn't be able to see in
the back seat.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
And so yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
In our vehicles now, everybody has their own button over
each individual's seat. So I can drive and Jessica can
have a light on over there and it doesn't affect
me at all. Yeah, and that's why I've stopped lying
to her about the legality of driving with the light
on the vehicle.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, this one's I was told I had a ten
thousand a month a word, wait, ten thousand words a
month limit, and then you physically would not be able
to speak anymore. I can't speak anyway, but that's fine,
But yeah, ten thousand word.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Limit a month.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
That's a new one.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
That is a new one.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
That is really interesting. Obviously this was told to a child.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Yes, interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I wonder how much time this kid spent trying to
count the word?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
How many words they've used to see where they are? Yeah,
where's my limit?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
You know what would be great? An app that would
help a parent further this lie where you could download
the app and okay, you got it's going to monitor you, okay,
and then we're going to get your word count here
and when you get to ten, ko stops working. So
keep an eye on this.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
You gotta save it. You have a presentation coming up
at school. You better save those words.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, that's right. You got a big presentation at work.
You got a present the Pinske account, so you gotta
save your words. Okay, that's interesting. Yeah that's good.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You gotta wait thirty minutes to go swimming after eating?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
There you go. Have always heard this?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, I still kind of follow that.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I wait at least like ten minutes, Like I don't
because I don't know how long you're supposed to wait.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
You shouldn't like just jump in right.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Apparently it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Oh, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
From what I can gather. Yeah. Now, as you know,
the reasoning for that was always because your body is digesting. Yeah,
and if you jump in and start flailing around in
the water while you're digesting, you'll have cramps and then
you're in trouble. Yeah. That was always the story. But
everything that I've seen lately is like, that's nonsense. Your
body can do two things at once. You're fine. Yeah. Surprisingly,
your body can digest food and you can use your
(15:44):
arms at the same time. I know you might think
that it makes sense to go if my intestine's working,
I can't use my hands, But it doesn't apparently work
that way.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Another story here, that's good.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
I got caught eating sugar in the entry because I
wanted a snack. My mom found me and said, sugar
is filled with worm eggs. Unless you bake it or
put it in your coffee, the eggs will grow in
your intestines and you'll die.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That is amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Wow, that's so elaborate.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's so elaborate, And I wonder, dude, her mom just
think of that off the top of her head when
she saw her in there eating sugar.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Was it a lie that was passed down generation up?
Speaker 5 (16:25):
To generate.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Right, maybe mom actually believes it.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Maybe she believes it, and maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
She didn't make it up.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Wow, I know.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
That's so good.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I love the stuff people tell their kids to get
their kids to listen, you know, and not do things
that they don't want them to do. So good, All right,
anything else, because I know we got a whopper to
finish on.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I do have the whopper, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
It's been quite an eye opener here, and we're going
to finish with a really interesting and some would say
disturbing story that Nikki is calling the whopper. Yeah, what
is a great story story.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
When I was in kindergarten, my sisters and I begged
my mom to get us at barbiees. She said no
for the longest time because it was too expensive, but
one day she finally came caved.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Sorry.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I took my barbie home, played with it for about
a week, then completely forgot about it in the toy box.
My mom was upset and we made her spend so
much money on something we didn't even like that much.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
So she told us, if you play.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
With your barbies and you love them enough, they'll come
to life. My sisters, and I took our barbies everywhere
from that point on. One day on the school bus,
somebody asked me, why do you carry your barbie with
you everywhere? So I told them my mom told me
if I played with her and loved her enough, she'd
come to life. Everyone on the bus laughed at me
(17:47):
and made fun of me for two weeks.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I was mad at my mom for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well, you know, I think maybe I used the wrong
music and intro for this orthodox.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
The worst parent ever, responsible irresponsible individuals.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
This is criminally irresponsible.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
The worst thing you can do as a parent, basically
the worst parent.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
You must think for the worst parents in the world.
That's horrible. That is a horrible thing to do. I mean,
this is just bizarre to me on so many levels, because, Okay,
so the mom has already spent the money on the barbies,
but she wants to get her money's worth yeah retroactively. Yeah,
(18:36):
So the only way she can justify what she paid
is these kids had better love these things. Okay, it's
kind of weird right there, and then, but to set
this poor girl up for that kind of trauma, because
even if she hadn't said this in front of other
kids on the bus and got laughed at, which is,
you know, traumatic enough. But even if she hadn't done that,
(18:58):
she could have spent years just pleading for this barbie
to come to life and begging it and loving on
it every night and holding it close to her. Please,
I love you so much.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Please. And then that's the whole other load of trauma
because you think you're giving love and it's never enough exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Your takeaway from that is my love is never enough.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yeah, and that's horrible.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
This is shocking to me. I oh wow, uh huh wow.
This is one of the reasons I don't have kids.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
One missteps, one mistap, they are ruined.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah. Yeah, not to say that this, you know, person
who contacted us with the story is ruined. We're not
saying that that. We're glad that it sounds like you
probably have your personal thing together you wouldn't have participated
in the first place. But generally speaking, uh, that's all.
It takes. One misstep, You say one wrong word, you
(19:55):
you do one wrong action in front of a kid. Yep,
the kid is a basket case for the rest of
their life.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
You better think long and hard about what you're.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Doing the Jack and Nikki Show one two wv AQ.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
The story for you now about terrible parents, unorthodox and
totally irresponsible.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I'm the worst.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Parent ever, worst parents every irresponsible.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Irresponsible individuals. This is criminally irresponsible.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
The worst thing you can do as a parent, basically
the worst parent.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Effic You must stink for the worst parents in the world. Probably, yeah,
probably so. People, this is wild. Set your faces to
stunned and get ready to call and text in here
with your thoughts. I think you're going to be outraged.
I really do. Eight eight eight seven seven, seven sixty
six forty is the number. Call us or text us.
(20:48):
You could text us three five sixty five one. It
all started yesterday when I was out doing a little
live broadcast only. Oh yeah, and I struck up a
conversation with a stranger, a man unknown to me, who
stopped buying. Yeah. That's how it is. When you're broadcasting live.
You end up in little conversations here and there, talking
(21:09):
to the humans as they are known. And this guy,
because we had some time, you know, he started to
unburden himself to me. You know a lot of times
conversations start out just the weather and this and that stuff.
But if you talk to somebody for more than say,
two minutes, they'll eventually tell you everything about their life.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
I don't know why it happens, it just does.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
It does. So this guy was telling me that his
brother and sister in law let their ten year old
son spend the night with a friend. Okay, okay, and
the boy came home and told them that while he
was there, he participated in a seance with his friend's family,
including the parents.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Including the parents, that's right, wow, Okay, So it wasn't
just that their son and his dopey little friend were
in their bedroom with Ouija board.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
No, no, this was a family affair. Okay, he's there,
his friend's there, the parents, they all get together and
they sit around a table and they light some candles,
and they were trying to contact this kid's dead grandmother.
Oh okay. Now it did take a while, but eventually
(22:21):
she did show up in a tattered nightgown and told
them to knock it off. She said, blow out these
candles and go to bed. Mike has worked tomorrow. But
that's not the point. It's not at all the point.
Although I was impressed that it was successful, he said that,
so his brother and sister in law, they were really
(22:41):
upset over this, as you would be.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I'm very concerned.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
And I said, well, how well do they know these people,
these parents? And he said, well, not very well. They
met them one time. They did talk to them, yeah,
before they let their kid go over and stay. And
you know, they didn't really get a vibe that they
would kind of vibe.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
That would yeah, like what kind of energy are you
giving be like, oh no, they're gonna pull out a
wigi board and they're given off that kind of vibe.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Unless you know the kid's dad is Marilyn Manson or something.
You might see that and go, hmm, he might be
up to something in his personal life. I don't know. Uh.
But they thought that they had a decent read on
the these people and everything was fine and then this happened.
So basically what they're trying to figure out now is
how do they proceed? What what do you do here?
(23:32):
Do they confront these parents and say, how dare you yeah,
drag my kid into a seance? Or do they just
say nothing and just never let the kid go back there?
I mean, what exactly is the proper course of action here?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Oh, that's a good question. M Yeah, I don't. I mean,
I don't have children, so I.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Don't know how to handle this because like when you
first said, oh yeah, weigi boards say.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I didn't. I just like that seems like a sleepover
thing to do, right, But to have the parents.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Involved exactly, that changes things, right, And that's.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
What they thought when the kid came home and said
seance and they were like, what was saance? What do
you mean? And they thought it was going to be
Tommy and I got the yeah, summoned up Satan from
the pits of hell and then we made him a
cheese sandwich, you know whatever. But instead it was no, no,
(24:29):
We sat around the kitchen table and we held hands
and they lit candles and there's chanting, and then all
this craziness went on. And I don't know. I have
to assume somebody sacrifice a goat at some point, although
that wasn't mentioned.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I just assume it, right, Yeah, they may not have
just mentioned everything.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Kind of a seance are you're performing? If you're not
so strange sacrificing a goat back with the exciting conclusion
now of won't someone please think of the children and
exposing that children to the dark underworld, perhaps Satan himself
while on a sleepover, because why not?
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It's a strange situation, and the reactions are coming in
on the textual lines eight eight eight seven seven seven
sixty six forty. You can also text us at three
five sixty five to one, and you can call us
on the studio line at eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty. But God knows when you'll prove it. Nikki,
what are we seeing on the text line here so far?
Speaker 4 (25:26):
All right?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
My child would not go back to that house. You
never know what you're going to conjure up. I don't
need bad energy attaching to my child or bringing it
into my house.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
That's an interesting text. I'm not sure if they concern
in that Texas for the child or for their own home.
They're like, look, we don't need poltergeist in the house
we put We just put a new carpeting, Okay, last
thing we need.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I don't need my child to be possessed by anything.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Right, we have enough trouble. I'm getting him, that do
is math. I don't need to have Satan inside of him.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
And I don't think our health insurance is going to
cover that exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, I get the policy. Is demon possession in it all? Honey,
I don't see demon.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Possessioning here not covered?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
What else you got, Nick?
Speaker 4 (26:13):
You dreg sounds like witchcraft?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Better break out the old burning steaks, burn them.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Well, that seems extreme.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Kind of Let's see here. Here's some other texts that
I found intriguing. Somebody said, call the police and tell
them what Why.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Are you going to tell them that they played with
a Ouiji board?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Like? Right, yeah, I don't think there's anything really legally
that can be done here, which is what brings me
to this text punch the dad. Well, here's another text,
punch the mom. And then from the same text or
punch the kid, was that you I did text it
(26:54):
when you weren't looking. I did text at it. Fine,
all right, here's one I would agree with this, and
I think this one makes sense. This is this is
where I would start, says this texter. You want to
assess the potential damage to your kid, So ask your
kid for all of the details of the night. How
(27:17):
did he feel about what happened? Was he scared? Was
he curious about it? Was he forced to do it?
Or did they just ask him if he wanted to
do it, and he willingly participated. Did he have the
option of just declining and staying in another room doing
something else, Well, that'd be kind of award, right, Yeah,
you guys go ahead and contact the data in the kitchen.
(27:37):
I'll go ahead. I'm just gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
play Xbox over here and eat some doritos. Let me
let me have If Grandma shows up, i'd like to
meet her. But you know, I think that's a that's
a really good question, because I don't know how this
kid responded. I was given no indication that the ten
year old boy who participated in this was in any
way traumatized or upset by. He came home and told
(28:00):
his parents about it, just kind of matter of fact, like, Hey,
what'd you guys do over there?
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Well, you know, we played games and watching TV anything else,
contacted the dead. What's for dinner? Mom? So you know,
it was very casual about it. He didn't seem to
be freaked.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Out, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
So I would take that and be like, all right,
you know, he's not traumatized. He seems to be Okay,
let's just keep him away from this family. Moving forward?
Speaker 4 (28:27):
What you got a text here? I think the only
solution is to have the other child.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
So the families kid baptized into an obscure Christian cult.
Eye for an eye, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
You know that.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I would agree with that. But it's important that the
Christian cult is obscure.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
It's got to be something yeah, something, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
But while we're on that page, how about we get
scientology involved in this. Maybe now's the time to have
some scientologists show up at your house with an E
meter and run some tests on a little Timmy and
see if they can detect some type of spirit living
inside of him.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Now, do they have a line you can anonymously call
and like tip them off a beaten tip.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
The Scientology Beaten tipline. Don't let's google that
If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com.
Joined Jack and Nicky live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Here is something I will tell you. I've seen things, okay,
experience of things, and I'd like to share one of
those things with you right now. Get your thoughts. Studio
and text lines are open eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty call or text us on studio line.
(00:38):
You can also text us at three five sixty five
to one. I was at a hostile haunt in Virginia, Okay,
last week, and I saw something that I've never seen before,
certainly not here in the great state of West Virginia
where God pays attention. Okay, Jessica and I went to
(00:59):
a restaurant in Richmond and we sat down and this
was kind of a medium level restaurant, you know, not
super high end, but not a hole in the wall.
It's kind of a medium place, right.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Like two dollar bills on the Google Maps.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
We're not quite at three maybe two two and a half.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
A place where something like this certainly shouldn't be happening. Though,
let's put it that way. So we sit down and
the table beside us is open for a while, and
then this couple they're escorted to the table. They have
a seat, they sit down. The servers like, I'll be
back with the drinks whatever, blahlah blah. So this is
(01:43):
kind of this is in the evening. And the guy
was wearing like kind of a little windbreaker, kind of jacket. Okay,
this is going to be relevant here, just okay. So
they sit down. They've got backpacks, you know, they're carrying backpacks.
And this is a couple. They appear to be maybe
around fifty years old. Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
He took out an iPad and set it up in
front of him, and then he took out a cell
phone and he put that beside the iPad, making himself
a little workstation. She opened up a bag and pulled
out a stack of coloring books and some crayons, and
she starts coloring. He's on the phone, he's on the iPad.
And then and then he opened up his windbreaker and
(02:26):
pulled out a small dog.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Okay, there was a dog in his windbreaker.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
He had a dog in his his windbreaker. In it
was chew one of these tiny, little, shaky, nervous rat
looking dogs. He pulled that thing out and he put
it on the floor.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Okay, not on the table, that's good.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Put it on the floor. The server came back, took
their orders and left, at which point he picked the
dog up off the floor and put it on the table.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Oh no, no, Jack, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
We're we're watching this and we're thinking, dear God, this
man has pulled a small rat like dog out of
his garment and placed it on the table where people eat.
And he knows he's not supposed to be doing that,
because he didn't do it in front of the server.
He waited on her to leave. Yeah, and then dog
on the table. So we're sitting there going should we
(03:24):
get involved in this? I mean, it's not really our business,
but you know, people eat here. It's kind of an
eygenic and I was saying, should I say something? Should
I strike him? I mean, I'm not sure what the
proper approach is here. Now I will tell you I
did some research. Okay, this seems to be a Virginia thing.
(03:45):
This is apparently not uncommon in Virginia, and from what
I can gather, this is the main reason that West
Virginia broke away from Virginia in eighteen sixty three.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, we could not get on board with placing small
dog on our tables while we were eating at restaurants.
And that was. Now. I don't know what's going to
be in your history books. It might not be covered
in your history books, right, but trust me when I
tell you this was toward the top of the list.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
There was a whole YouTube series on it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, that's right, an eight part series. Now, I will
tell you what we ended up doing after I get
your input. What would you have done in this situation?
Let's make this sporting instead of me just finishing the
story right now, with the exciting conclusion of Ratdog on
the table, let's go to you guys on the studio
(04:34):
text lines eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty.
You can call us. You can text us on the
studio line again. You can also text us At three
five sixty five to one, Nikki break break, Nicki Drake
is furrowing her brow, I am waving her hands and
also scratching her head. What is on your mind?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Because I am confused?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Did these people think that like once the server walked away.
They could no longer see that table from anywhere in
the restaurant. So you pick up the dog, you put
it on the table, and you're never going to be
caught because.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
If the server's not standing there, they can't see you.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That's a fair question.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
And there's other servers walking around, right.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I will tell you this. No one ever said anything
to them.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Really.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, they took the dog off before the food came back. Yeah,
and then after they ate.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Dog back on table.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Dog the table.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Dogs.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Have you ever said anything hang out on the floor,
to sit in a seat, to go back in the windbreaker?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
No, it was it went back back and forth from
the floor to the table.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
You just right, okay?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And I did you know eventually stand up? Okay. We
are from West Virginia people.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I don't know what is going on in your weird state, right,
but this is not how we do things in civilized society.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
And then you picked up the tiny chihuahua, opened the door,
and booted it out of the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I did. I punted these shoes as far as I could,
all right, studio text lines opened. What do you guys think?
What would you have done in this situation? I'm really curious,
and then I'll tell you how this thing unfolded. Next
the conclusion now of dog on the table at a restaurant.
(06:12):
I don't want to say it's the exciting conclusion because
it's not very exciting. I'm gonna be honest with you.
You might be disillusioned. This is it's gonna be anti climactic.
But still, let's just see where you guys come in
on this. You're eating at a restaurant. Some people sit
down beside you, take a dog out of their jacket
and put it on the table. Do you say something now? Again,
(06:34):
this is behind the server's back, the server. When the
server walks away, the dogs picked up off the floor
and put on the table. They see the server, dog
goes back down on floor. You're sitting right beside them.
What's your play on this, Nikki Drake? What are we seeing?
On the text line?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Not in your space? Not your problem, my drone business
you hump?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I just added that for the text. I'm sure they
meant to say that, thank you. Text you guys.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
This other text gets very dramatic.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Okay, best not to say anything about the dog, because
you know what.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Else that guy might have in his windbreaker.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
A nine millimeter and obviously he was a little off
his rocker.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah that's a fair point. Yeah, that is a fair point.
I mean, if you can successfully carry a dog into
a restaurant in your jacket, you probably have a whole
lot of other things in your jacket that people weren't
aware of, right, one of which could be a weapon. Sure, right,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Or just like one of those never ending scarves that
clown's pulling.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Out, Just one of those, right, there's that there's a weapon.
Or let's face it, he you know, he could have
just beaten me to death with the dog. It was
a small dog, right, all right? Let me see text line.
You should have said something to someone, the couple, the server,
(07:51):
the manager or someone. Text you should have excused yourself
to go to the restroom and then talk to the manager.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Oh look at that.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah yeah, just kind of sneaking around, poking your nose
in other people's business. And then I like this when
a text you should have taken a cat out of
your shirt?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah where was your cat?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
You know what, if only I could, If only I could.
All right, let's go ahead now and get to what
actually happened. Here's how I handled the situation. Are you ready,
I'm ready. Okay, then here's what I did. I did nothing.
I slinked away like a coward, because as one of
(08:33):
these texts said that you were there, that you know
it's it's not. It's really not my business. No, it's not.
That's between the restaurant and the patron. That's for them
to deal with. And if if you're running that restaurant
and you're not noticing that people are releasing animals onto
(08:54):
your tables, yes, that's on you. I can't fix that. Plus,
it's not I mean, if I'm being honest, it's not
a place I'm going to frequent. I was there once,
I'll probably never be back. It was in another state.
It's not like I'm there every week right now. There
are restaurants around here I go to all the time,
and if I see a dog's butthole touching the table there,
(09:16):
you can bet I'm probably gonna say something because I
might end up at that table next time I go in. Right, Yeah, right,
So let's just let's just be clear on it. But
that is how it turned out. Thank you for playing
What Would You Do?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
The area's number one rated morning show. Let's go, let's
go Jack and Nicky one O two wv AQ.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Let's head to the health desk now to get our
learn on. It's not healthy.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It didn't sound healthy at all.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Oh I'm not healthy. That he's not healthy. It wouldn't
be healthy.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
What's the worst that could happen?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, that's a good question. What is the worst that
can happen? And Nikki has uncovered a story here this
morning about cracking your knuckles? What is the story making?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
The story is it does not cause arthritis, And this
is something that we've all been told, right, Yeah, cracking
your knuckles is bad for your health. It's dangerous. It
could cause joint damage and arthritis. But specialists, they now
say that there's no scientific evidence to support these claims.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
There's no evidence for this.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
There's no scientific evidence to support these claims.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
So what was this all just theory all these years,
just a hypothesis that people have. They're just like, wow,
if you crack your knuckles, it must be bad. It well,
because I can hear it crack, it must be bad.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yeah, there's but no evidence.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
So I think I think I believe that we were
all told to not crack our knuckles because it was
just annoying to other people.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, people just didn't want to hear it.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I just didn't want to listen to it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
They would just say, don't do that. It's bad, bad
for you. Yeah, but it's not. And that's where we're
going to go into a conspiratorial hole here. With open
studio text lines eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty
six forty call us. You can text us at that number.
You can also text us at three five sixty five one.
Let's flesh this out. Nikki Drake is of the opinion
(11:12):
that this is just one example of many things that
are harmless for you, but you've been told to not
do because other people simply don't want to deal with it.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, just like stop doing that, h yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
And we have some other examples here.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
M hm, Well, like stop making that face. It's going
to freeze like that. You know you're gonna get stuck
looking like that. Yeah, that's one of them, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah. I was cautioned against yodling as a child. Yodeling, Yeah,
they said it would injure my vocal cords. But it
turns out people just didn't want to hear that. Oh,
especially especially pre pubescent yodling. Oh that's the worst kind
of yodling.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Some say, I mean, it's a very unique kind, but
I disagree.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I think the worst kind of yodling is mid pevestment.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yes, mid's my favorite kind.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, when the voice is breaking, that's the worst kind.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I like that the best.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Surprisingly unpopular. Okay, what else you got while you're working
on your theory?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Here, that's what I've got right now.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I'm very interested to know what other people.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, okay, so that are ultimately probably harmless. And this
is I imagine things that we were probably mostly told
as children that we shouldn't be doing because it's going
to be a problem, like.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
A harmless urban myths kind of you know.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, right, yeah, this is the concept.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Okay, yeah, okay, all right, Well let's see what we
get here talking about things you were warned against that
turned out to be harmless. And now you've basically spent
your life not doing these things, and perhaps you feel
ripped off, Maybe you feel cheated out of some of
these full pleasures in life that you could have been
(13:02):
enjoying but did not because you were a skeered What
are we seeing coming in on the textual lines Nikki Drake.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Okay, driving with a light on in the car is illegal.
I was told that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, yep, yeah, I've heard this one. And that's a
good way to get people to not do that.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah. Hmm. Well, I guess if you're in the car
with that person, you perhaps would be annoyed. Yeah, but
you know, newer vehicles aren't. Really, it's not much of
an issue now because it used to be that there
was a dome light in the center that just scattered
light over the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Right, Yeah, because I wouldn't be able to see in
the back seat.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
And so yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
In our vehicles now, everybody has their own button over
each individual's seat. So I can drive and Jessica can
have a light on over there and it doesn't affect
me at all. Yeah, and that's why I've stopped lying
to her about the legality of driving with the light
on the vehicle.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, this one's I was told I had a ten
thousand a month a word, wait, ten thousand words a
month limit, and then you physically would not be able
to speak anymore. I can't speak anyway, but that's fine,
But yeah, ten thousand word.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Limit a month.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
That's a new one.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
That is a new one.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
That is really interesting. Obviously this was told to a child.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Yes, interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I wonder how much time this kid spent trying to
count the word?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
How many words they've used to see where they are? Yeah,
where's my limit?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
You know what would be great? An app that would
help a parent further this lie where you could download
the app and okay, you got it's going to monitor you, okay,
and then we're going to get your word count here
and when you get to ten, ko stops working. So
keep an eye on this.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
You gotta save it. You have a presentation coming up
at school. You better save those words.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, that's right. You got a big presentation at work.
You got a present the Pinske account, so you gotta
save your words. Okay, that's interesting. Yeah that's good.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You gotta wait thirty minutes to go swimming after eating?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
There you go. Have always heard this?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, I still kind of follow that.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I wait at least like ten minutes, Like I don't
because I don't know how long you're supposed to wait.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
You shouldn't like just jump in right.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Apparently it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Oh, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
From what I can gather. Yeah. Now, as you know,
the reasoning for that was always because your body is digesting. Yeah,
and if you jump in and start flailing around in
the water while you're digesting, you'll have cramps and then
you're in trouble. Yeah. That was always the story. But
everything that I've seen lately is like, that's nonsense. Your
body can do two things at once. You're fine. Yeah. Surprisingly,
your body can digest food and you can use your
(15:44):
arms at the same time. I know you might think
that it makes sense to go if my intestine's working,
I can't use my hands, But it doesn't apparently work
that way.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Another story here, that's good.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
I got caught eating sugar in the entry because I
wanted a snack. My mom found me and said, sugar
is filled with worm eggs. Unless you bake it or
put it in your coffee, the eggs will grow in
your intestines and you'll die.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That is amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Wow, that's so elaborate.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's so elaborate, And I wonder, dude, her mom just
think of that off the top of her head when
she saw her in there eating sugar.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Was it a lie that was passed down generation up?
Speaker 5 (16:25):
To generate.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Right, maybe mom actually believes it.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Maybe she believes it, and maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
She didn't make it up.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Wow, I know.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
That's so good.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I love the stuff people tell their kids to get
their kids to listen, you know, and not do things
that they don't want them to do. So good, All right,
anything else, because I know we got a whopper to
finish on.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I do have the whopper, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
It's been quite an eye opener here, and we're going
to finish with a really interesting and some would say
disturbing story that Nikki is calling the whopper. Yeah, what
is a great story story.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
When I was in kindergarten, my sisters and I begged
my mom to get us at barbiees. She said no
for the longest time because it was too expensive, but
one day she finally came caved.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Sorry.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I took my barbie home, played with it for about
a week, then completely forgot about it in the toy box.
My mom was upset and we made her spend so
much money on something we didn't even like that much.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
So she told us, if you play.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
With your barbies and you love them enough, they'll come
to life. My sisters, and I took our barbies everywhere
from that point on. One day on the school bus,
somebody asked me, why do you carry your barbie with
you everywhere? So I told them my mom told me
if I played with her and loved her enough, she'd
come to life. Everyone on the bus laughed at me
(17:47):
and made fun of me for two weeks.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I was mad at my mom for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well, you know, I think maybe I used the wrong
music and intro for this orthodox.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
The worst parent ever, responsible irresponsible individuals.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
This is criminally irresponsible.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
The worst thing you can do as a parent, basically
the worst parent.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
You must think for the worst parents in the world.
That's horrible. That is a horrible thing to do. I mean,
this is just bizarre to me on so many levels, because, Okay,
so the mom has already spent the money on the barbies,
but she wants to get her money's worth yeah retroactively. Yeah,
(18:36):
So the only way she can justify what she paid
is these kids had better love these things. Okay, it's
kind of weird right there, and then, but to set
this poor girl up for that kind of trauma, because
even if she hadn't said this in front of other
kids on the bus and got laughed at, which is,
you know, traumatic enough. But even if she hadn't done that,
(18:58):
she could have spent years just pleading for this barbie
to come to life and begging it and loving on
it every night and holding it close to her. Please,
I love you so much.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Please. And then that's the whole other load of trauma
because you think you're giving love and it's never enough exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Your takeaway from that is my love is never enough.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yeah, and that's horrible.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
This is shocking to me. I oh wow, uh huh wow.
This is one of the reasons I don't have kids.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
One missteps, one mistap, they are ruined.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah. Yeah, not to say that this, you know, person
who contacted us with the story is ruined. We're not
saying that that. We're glad that it sounds like you
probably have your personal thing together you wouldn't have participated
in the first place. But generally speaking, uh, that's all.
It takes. One misstep, You say one wrong word, you
(19:55):
you do one wrong action in front of a kid. Yep,
the kid is a basket case for the rest of
their life.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
You better think long and hard about what you're.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Doing the Jack and Nikki Show one two wv AQ.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
The story for you now about terrible parents, unorthodox and
totally irresponsible.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I'm the worst.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Parent ever, worst parents every irresponsible.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Irresponsible individuals. This is criminally irresponsible.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
The worst thing you can do as a parent, basically
the worst parent.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Effic You must stink for the worst parents in the world. Probably, yeah,
probably so. People, this is wild. Set your faces to
stunned and get ready to call and text in here
with your thoughts. I think you're going to be outraged.
I really do. Eight eight eight seven seven, seven sixty
six forty is the number. Call us or text us.
(20:48):
You could text us three five sixty five one. It
all started yesterday when I was out doing a little
live broadcast only. Oh yeah, and I struck up a
conversation with a stranger, a man unknown to me, who
stopped buying. Yeah. That's how it is. When you're broadcasting live.
You end up in little conversations here and there, talking
(21:09):
to the humans as they are known. And this guy,
because we had some time, you know, he started to
unburden himself to me. You know a lot of times
conversations start out just the weather and this and that stuff.
But if you talk to somebody for more than say,
two minutes, they'll eventually tell you everything about their life.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
I don't know why it happens, it just does.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
It does. So this guy was telling me that his
brother and sister in law let their ten year old
son spend the night with a friend. Okay, okay, and
the boy came home and told them that while he
was there, he participated in a seance with his friend's family,
including the parents.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Including the parents, that's right, wow, Okay, So it wasn't
just that their son and his dopey little friend were
in their bedroom with Ouija board.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
No, no, this was a family affair. Okay, he's there,
his friend's there, the parents, they all get together and
they sit around a table and they light some candles,
and they were trying to contact this kid's dead grandmother.
Oh okay. Now it did take a while, but eventually
(22:21):
she did show up in a tattered nightgown and told
them to knock it off. She said, blow out these
candles and go to bed. Mike has worked tomorrow. But
that's not the point. It's not at all the point.
Although I was impressed that it was successful, he said that,
so his brother and sister in law, they were really
(22:41):
upset over this, as you would be.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I'm very concerned.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
And I said, well, how well do they know these people,
these parents? And he said, well, not very well. They
met them one time. They did talk to them, yeah,
before they let their kid go over and stay. And
you know, they didn't really get a vibe that they
would kind of vibe.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
That would yeah, like what kind of energy are you
giving be like, oh no, they're gonna pull out a
wigi board and they're given off that kind of vibe.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Unless you know the kid's dad is Marilyn Manson or something.
You might see that and go, hmm, he might be
up to something in his personal life. I don't know. Uh.
But they thought that they had a decent read on
the these people and everything was fine and then this happened.
So basically what they're trying to figure out now is
how do they proceed? What what do you do here?
(23:32):
Do they confront these parents and say, how dare you yeah,
drag my kid into a seance? Or do they just
say nothing and just never let the kid go back there?
I mean, what exactly is the proper course of action here?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Oh, that's a good question. M Yeah, I don't. I mean,
I don't have children, so I.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Don't know how to handle this because like when you
first said, oh yeah, weigi boards say.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I didn't. I just like that seems like a sleepover
thing to do, right, But to have the parents.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Involved exactly, that changes things, right, And that's.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
What they thought when the kid came home and said
seance and they were like, what was saance? What do
you mean? And they thought it was going to be
Tommy and I got the yeah, summoned up Satan from
the pits of hell and then we made him a
cheese sandwich, you know whatever. But instead it was no, no,
(24:29):
We sat around the kitchen table and we held hands
and they lit candles and there's chanting, and then all
this craziness went on. And I don't know. I have
to assume somebody sacrifice a goat at some point, although
that wasn't mentioned.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I just assume it, right, Yeah, they may not have
just mentioned everything.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Kind of a seance are you're performing? If you're not
so strange sacrificing a goat back with the exciting conclusion
now of won't someone please think of the children and
exposing that children to the dark underworld, perhaps Satan himself
while on a sleepover, because why not?
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It's a strange situation, and the reactions are coming in
on the textual lines eight eight eight seven seven seven
sixty six forty. You can also text us at three
five sixty five to one, and you can call us
on the studio line at eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty. But God knows when you'll prove it. Nikki,
what are we seeing on the text line here so far?
Speaker 4 (25:26):
All right?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
My child would not go back to that house. You
never know what you're going to conjure up. I don't
need bad energy attaching to my child or bringing it
into my house.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
That's an interesting text. I'm not sure if they concern
in that Texas for the child or for their own home.
They're like, look, we don't need poltergeist in the house
we put We just put a new carpeting, Okay, last
thing we need.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I don't need my child to be possessed by anything.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Right, we have enough trouble. I'm getting him, that do
is math. I don't need to have Satan inside of him.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
And I don't think our health insurance is going to
cover that exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, I get the policy. Is demon possession in it all? Honey,
I don't see demon.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Possessioning here not covered?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
What else you got, Nick?
Speaker 4 (26:13):
You dreg sounds like witchcraft?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Better break out the old burning steaks, burn them.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Well, that seems extreme.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Kind of Let's see here. Here's some other texts that
I found intriguing. Somebody said, call the police and tell
them what Why.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Are you going to tell them that they played with
a Ouiji board?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Like? Right, yeah, I don't think there's anything really legally
that can be done here, which is what brings me
to this text punch the dad. Well, here's another text,
punch the mom. And then from the same text or
punch the kid, was that you I did text it
(26:54):
when you weren't looking. I did text at it. Fine,
all right, here's one I would agree with this, and
I think this one makes sense. This is this is
where I would start, says this texter. You want to
assess the potential damage to your kid, So ask your
kid for all of the details of the night. How
(27:17):
did he feel about what happened? Was he scared? Was
he curious about it? Was he forced to do it?
Or did they just ask him if he wanted to
do it, and he willingly participated. Did he have the
option of just declining and staying in another room doing
something else, Well, that'd be kind of award, right, Yeah,
you guys go ahead and contact the data in the kitchen.
(27:37):
I'll go ahead. I'm just gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
play Xbox over here and eat some doritos. Let me
let me have If Grandma shows up, i'd like to
meet her. But you know, I think that's a that's
a really good question, because I don't know how this
kid responded. I was given no indication that the ten
year old boy who participated in this was in any
way traumatized or upset by. He came home and told
(28:00):
his parents about it, just kind of matter of fact, like, Hey,
what'd you guys do over there?
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Well, you know, we played games and watching TV anything else,
contacted the dead. What's for dinner? Mom? So you know,
it was very casual about it. He didn't seem to
be freaked.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Out, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
So I would take that and be like, all right,
you know, he's not traumatized. He seems to be Okay,
let's just keep him away from this family. Moving forward?
Speaker 4 (28:27):
What you got a text here? I think the only
solution is to have the other child.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
So the families kid baptized into an obscure Christian cult.
Eye for an eye, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
You know that.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I would agree with that. But it's important that the
Christian cult is obscure.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
It's got to be something yeah, something, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
But while we're on that page, how about we get
scientology involved in this. Maybe now's the time to have
some scientologists show up at your house with an E
meter and run some tests on a little Timmy and
see if they can detect some type of spirit living
inside of him.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Now, do they have a line you can anonymously call
and like tip them off a beaten tip.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
The Scientology Beaten tipline. Don't let's google that
