#169 After 2 Beers: Bike Paths, Fake Parades, and Unusual Medical Finds
Ever wonder what it takes to be billed for your own accident? We start with a jaw-dropping incident from Oregon, where a 71-year-old cyclist found himself in the absurd position of being charged by the very ambulance that ran him over. As we shake our heads at this peculiar business model, we also muse over the creative potential of AI in adding a humorous twist to these kinds of stories. Meanwhile, our AI intern gives its own quirky interpretation of the incident, proving that even artificial minds can have a sense of humor.
As we hit the road on this podcast ride, we fondly recall the bygone days of a go-kart race in Richmond, only to be sidetracked by the tale of a fake Halloween parade in Dublin. Thousands were left scratching their heads and checking their calendars when a hoax website rallied them for an event that didn't exist. The unpredictability of social media strikes again, leading us into a discussion about the whimsical world of viral content, like a Canadian couple's shock upon discovering a wall full of stuffed animals in their garage. We speculate on its use as insulation and how such oddities capture the internet's imagination.
From tales of daring smuggles involving live snakes in pants to healthcare shocks like a forgotten childbirth needle, we wrap up with a medley of wild news and historic anecdotes. Stories like Elvita Adams' miraculous survival from an Empire State Building jump remind us of the mysteries of fate, while the community's role in supporting cyclists underscores the importance of camaraderie. We encourage everyone to reach out to those in need, fostering connections and sharing a few laughs along the way. So grab a drink, sit back, and join us on this rollercoaster of bizarre and thought-provoking tales.
Welcome to the After 2 Beers podcast. I'm Dutch Dalton, joined as always by Kim McEbler. That's me and Michael Summers. What's going on? If you haven't tuned in to the show, or maybe you haven't tuned in in a while, we've reformatted the program a little bit. We're kind of like the IO system now. It's like version 12.3. Yeah, we've version 12.3. Yeah, we've uh two.
Speaker 1:We are seven years into this uh hobby that we call, after almost seven years, seven years in january yeah wow, and to this hobby that we call after two beers and um, you know, over time you kind of learn what you're decent at and what you suck at, what you thought would be good.
Speaker 3:Everything else, yeah, and you haven't got rid of me, right?
Speaker 1:uh, you're the longest relationship I've ever had. All right, uh. But in all seriousness, we realize we're pretty decent at this news thing. Oh, yeah and uh, I've got plenty of time to look around on the internet to find goofy shit that's happening all over the world, tons of it, yeah. So that's what we're going to focus now. It's still after two beers, but it is a news focus, something you might not hear locally.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, this isn't, or you might.
Speaker 4:I mean, there's a few I seen here in town earlier.
Speaker 1:So coming up, we've got 10 stories again tonight. We're going to take a break about halfway through, a pause for the cause, just a quick five-minute break just to kind of retool and everything. And we want to make sure we thank our Patreon sponsors who are still paying the fees to get us on audio versions, and that's the actual truth. So basically all of the finances that we raise from Patreon right now is going towards Buzzsprout yeah, so that you can listen to the audio version. So if you're listening to the audio version, make sure you check us out. We're going to be on Facebook now If you're watching this live now. It's like the Darth Vader. What, um, the uh darth vader? Oh, what's the hell what I am? It was the uh star wars.
Speaker 3:That was a remake with um yeah, moranis, uh, space balls, yes, yeah, oh yes, yeah, yes, yeah, oh yes, yeah Anyway.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I screwed it all up.
Speaker 4:You're looking back and forth. No, we're in the now, fast forward.
Speaker 1:Right, fast forward. That was where my mind. My mind's a little slow right now for some reason, I don't know, but anyway. So that's what we're going to do now. We're going to focus on the news. Maybe we should cut that part out of the audio and we will move on. But, um, thanks again to our patreon sponsors, thanks again to our buddy, kevin shook here at, uh, global media enterprises. Yes, thank you.
Speaker 4:Entertainment or global media it's only been a couple years. You, you've been here.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, maybe I figured you'd changed up as many times as we have.
Speaker 2:No no.
Speaker 1:I got global media right.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's good enough.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, that's good enough.
Speaker 4:His head's a little foggy right now.
Speaker 1:Right, anyway, all right.
Speaker 4:We got. Uh, you guys ready to get going? Yeah?
Speaker 1:Let's do it. What do you got? What's our first one? All right, this one is from Oregon, a law firm in Oregon. It's going to be an interesting evening. It's going to be a good night. A law firm in Oregon has filed a lawsuit on the behalf of a 71-year-old man named William Hosh, who was riding his bicycle a couple years ago when an ambulance crashed into him after turning into his path, the ambulance scooped william up, rushed him to the hospital, but then later billed him for more than eighteen hundred dollars for the ride you hit me yes they had a free ride, you just interrupted it.
Speaker 1:Oh, the guys on the bike gets hit by the uh, the ambulance, ambulance. This is a great business model.
Speaker 4:If you're on the ambulance, if you're having a slow day, just create your own customer. There's some lawyers that chase ambulances.
Speaker 1:Now this isn't the only bill that William is dealing with. He says he's racked up $47,000 in medical expenses and expects another $50,000 of medical expenses. And expects another fifty thousand dollars of medical expenses in the future now. Here's the beauty of uh after two years. So I have wanted for years for us to get an intern or something like that. It's never happened, and uh, so I finally reached out to what everyone is doing now.
Speaker 1:It's artificial intelligence so yeah, for a twenty dollar subscription a month. You could. You could just yeah, and your uh ai intern will spit out this image. This is what I assumed it looked like, as the guy was trying to get across the street and was hit by the ambulance. Now, as I mentioned, uh, he's racked up 5050,000 in expenses, got another $50,000, he thinks, coming up. He fractured his nose, got scraped and bruised up, and he says he also has suffered decreased range of motion and grip strength in one of his hands.
Speaker 4:And that's $50,000 worth of damage. Wow.
Speaker 3:Oh, have you ever had a hospital bill?
Speaker 1:Yeah, $2,000 of it went for the ride he didn't need.
Speaker 4:Mind you, my accident. After I broke my back, I had to climb in the ambulance myself. What, yeah, they said, go ahead and hop up in there. I was like, yeah, I ain't going to be hopping shit, here's an actual picture.
Speaker 1:That one's pretty similar. This was after, mine was before.
Speaker 1:It was chasing him down before and he's chasing him down. Get back here, look at that. Ran over him and then he's got to pay for the ride, which I think is just I mean that wouldn't have happened in this town because we've got all kinds of bike lanes. Zip right. Yeah, that ambiance. You know what? You know? I was looking at our numbers. Most of our listens don't come from richmond, so I'm gonna. I our bike paths are the stupidest fucking thing oh god it's the difference.
Speaker 4:But what's the difference?
Speaker 1:the size, they made them well well, first of all, they're they're this huge ass bike path. Yeah, that, uh. We live in a community that, honestly, you could probably bike comfortably, maybe eight months out of the year. Yeah, okay, yeah, secondly, they they're installed only in downtown Richmond. So if you actually live outside of downtown Richmond, which 95% of the population.
Speaker 4:does you have to get to the Cardinal Greenway?
Speaker 1:No, you've got to use a bike or not a sidewalk or a road anywhere, right yeah. And then we live in a community in the Midwest where you know, know, we're all I mean.
Speaker 3:Look at us, we like cheese losing weight.
Speaker 2:We're all like beer pleasant like plump.
Speaker 4:Yeah, not a lot of bike riders in this community no, because I'm afraid I'm gonna get hit by an animal. Why don't you ride a bike?
Speaker 1:mike, hit me and then my favorite, and I try to leave it alone. Right, because I'm all for the beautification of our community. I really, truly am, but this explains why the Democrats just got their ass kicked.
Speaker 1:Now hear me out on this, right Now I've been watching people talk about this thing and they'll say, well, you know, it didn't really cost Richmond any money because this thing was like $8 million yeah, right, 8 million, I think. So it was in the millions to install this thing that nobody wants, right, but the the thought process behind it is and this is a guy that I thought I was a Democrat until the last few years. Now I'm not real sure what I am, but, uh, the, the thought I'll. I'll see people that are like, well, we didn't pay for it, it was a grant and we had to spend the money on that or we wouldn't have got the money, and I'm like that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 1:You don't have to take the money that's like them coming to me?
Speaker 4:Did you find somebody?
Speaker 1:else to spend it on, or just not even you know what. Maybe the $8 million could have been spent better elsewhere. That's the equivalent of them coming to me. I thought about this on the walk up here.
Speaker 2:I swear to you this is my head space.
Speaker 1:I was like you know, that's like them coming to me and saying, chris, we've got $10 million for an elective surgery for you to have, but we're going to take an arm and put it right in the middle of your chest. You're going to have three arms now, because how many times in your life have you thought it'd be great to have another arm right? But we're gonna give it to you, but it's got to be right in the middle of your chest right. And I'm like no, you know that's a lot of good money. How about, like, maybe make me a little taller, a little leaner?
Speaker 3:no, no, no, no the money can only be used for the arm thing it's gonna be, and then I'm like, well, I guess, if I've gotta use it well, I hope that they kept some of the money because, like I, I worked down the street for a while and so on seventh street they took up like some of your traffic way and like it's so narrow there, yeah, that people actually have turned on and like gone down into the bike path because it's so wide it's the same size as the street, yeah it's just I, you know.
Speaker 1:I love the idea of the bike path as far as you know, making people more, uh, interested in everything else but Taking a road a little bit wider and just painting some lines.
Speaker 4:Well, that's what most cities do. That's what most cities do. That's weird.
Speaker 1:Still, I want to get back to the point. Sorry, they're only downtown and there's nobody that lives downtown. There's like what we have the assisted living place up here, pretty sure when the old YMCA used to be. They're not buying a bike, and then 9 North, I think, and then there's a couple residential properties.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean we're getting ready to have some uptown living in the old Alder Beerman who could afford to live in them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're going to be like $1,400 a month, I think, for a two-bedroom, yeah, in downtown Richmond so you can use the bike path. There's like three churches in our downtown area.
Speaker 4:I'm going to put it in the liquor store.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I'm telling you If you could figure out a way to open a strip club slash gambling place in New Paris right where that Uranus factory is going in. Right for the truck drivers that come. We could be one of those stops, like with the triple X's and stuff.
Speaker 3:Lions, whatever what is it called, when you always see it down, like when you're going through. Kentucky Like Lions Den.
Speaker 1:Is that what it's called? And it would make sense, because you see those giant crosses there too.
Speaker 4:They're all right there.
Speaker 1:It's a stop for everybody. It's like the food court of life. You can easily go. Yeah, Anyway. What's your next story, next story. I didn't even get through that one.
Speaker 3:That's how this show's going tonight.
Speaker 1:I love it.
Speaker 3:You're welcome. Get fired up about a bike path.
Speaker 4:I love it. You're welcome. Get fired up about a bike, path, a bike path.
Speaker 1:Oh, all right. Anyway, all right. Here's our second story. I'm sure you've seen a lot of this one. It's police in a small South Carolina town are warning residents to keep their doors and windows locked after 43 monkeys, 43 of them Escaped from a research facility.
Speaker 3:Now here I read today that they've got Like I can understand if one got out, but 43 of them got out.
Speaker 1:Well, that just shows you they're smarter than people give them credit for. Oh yeah and I don't know if Kevin's got it ready or not I put together with my AI intern what I figured the monkeys were doing once they got loose being in South Carolina. I'm sure that'll pop up shortly, but there they are.
Speaker 4:There they are?
Speaker 1:They're on Myrtle beach down there Just hanging out. I actually feel bad for the monkeys. Now that there was, first of all, they're from a research facility.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I was like are they shooting them and killing them or no?
Speaker 1:they're capturing. Well, no, they're worth money if they can shoot shit inside of them and make them feel pain for the rest of their life. I'm just not a fan of animal testing at all.
Speaker 4:It's like little baby females that hasn't been injected with anything.
Speaker 3:I was going to go down there and try to find them.
Speaker 2:This is to show you how they're not the smartest.
Speaker 1:Once they got out they said most of them just stayed right there, you know, like they didn't run for they don't know anything else.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm sure I mean they still have some of like their instincts and such, but I'm sure that they're just like where they were at yeah shit. Well, I don't even know what to do with all this room if you got out in the wilderness of south carolina.
Speaker 1:You'd probably be like I'd rather go back in the research instead of banjo. Oh, all right. Yeah, like I said they uh, I was reading about it before we came in they are starting to catch some of those monkeys, poor bastards all right run, there we go that's how it starts playing out of the apes baby that's right somebody leaves one cage and then all of a sudden or COVID 2.0.
Speaker 4:Somebody gets bit by a monkey.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh yeah.
Speaker 4:All right.
Speaker 3:Are we ready for story?
Speaker 1:three. Yeah, I love how Stacey Hamilton is the only one that commented at all.
Speaker 3:I've never seen one biker. Yeah, I haven't either.
Speaker 1:Maybe if they let you run go-karts or something on it, ooh.
Speaker 4:They used to have go-kart races in downtown Richmond.
Speaker 2:Back in the day, boxcar, no actual go-karts, they had a Richmond Grand Prix?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it ran down in front of Elder Beerman, went up by the library and then looped out by the courthouse and came back and they ran it every year. Then they moved it out to the airport yeah, and then it's gone.
Speaker 1:But I'm with you, stacey, it just anyway. All right. Story three this will also show you just how screwed up we can be in the world today. Thousands of people in Dublin turned out for a Halloween parade on Thursday night last Thursday. Problem was the parade didn't exist. Thousands of them showed up. A website called my Spirit Halloween claimed a big parade would be going through the city center on Halloween night and news spread on social media.
Speaker 3:Spirit Halloween. They're going to be in an old Kmart or something, right, right?
Speaker 1:It turned out there was no parade, the website was based in Pakistan and the whole thing was a hoax. What the heck? There was thousands of people that showed up for this, all off the internet. This shows you that people are idiots.
Speaker 3:Make your own parade. Oh, they're all just like standing on the side yes waiting for a parade.
Speaker 4:That is never going to start hey. I have an idea after we get done with this.
Speaker 3:And New Year comes, a bicyclist and an ambulance, oh startup.
Speaker 1:This just shows these people clearly had a very good department in their social media, whoever built this page, because if they're getting look at that, you know what the bad part is. You know what pisses me off Is that's fake and that many people show up and I can put together a real podcast and we're lucky to get 20 viewers at once.
Speaker 4:It's all about strategy, chaser strategy, send it to Dublin. I bet you we get a bunch of lists I got candy.
Speaker 1:I just I love it. I is the webpage still up, by the way?
Speaker 4:Just tell them to pay for our stuff. We come to Dublin. We'll go to Dublin and do this in a bar over there. What do you think? Oh man, that would be awesome.
Speaker 1:We just we're barely getting enough money to pay for the Buzzsprout he's wanting to go to Europe.
Speaker 3:I was going to say Buzzsprout and a case of beer man.
Speaker 4:They'll pay for it. They pay for it.
Speaker 1:Police said to put out a statement saying, contrary to information being circulated online, no Halloween parade is scheduled to take place, and they asked people to disperse safely?
Speaker 4:Kids expecting all that pre-candy.
Speaker 1:And just another chance for making cops out to be the bad guys, right? What's up, spar Patty I?
Speaker 3:would have tried to have a boom box on my shoulder and tried walking down play some band music.
Speaker 4:Just one person parade, just one person, that's it.
Speaker 3:Thank you guys for showing up.
Speaker 1:All right, here's story four. For tonight, I'm going to let you pronounce these two names.
Speaker 2:Uh-oh.
Speaker 1:This one, the guy and the gal. You want to read the whole story? Sure, go for it.
Speaker 3:All right, number four, we've got. Connor Inejese and his wife, breanne Hinkery of vancouver island, canada, were renovating their garage when they made a disturbing discovery. They were expecting to find nothing but old insulation when they were moving drywall. Instead they found dozens of stuffed animals packed inside the walls. It should be noted that all of this is because the couple shared the video of their discovery on tiktok.
Speaker 1:Yeah, now the reason I put that is uh, they went viral for this. There's there's images of this that they uh, and I think I actually had the ai intern I was gonna say I frequent tiktok and I have not seen this right, so there's the ai version of what oh that's creepy that's creepy.
Speaker 3:That's creepy.
Speaker 1:That is creepy. I love AI.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's so. What did it really look like? Do we have a picture of that? Yes, there is.
Speaker 1:And honestly it looks like. So here's what's wild they go, you can keep. The toys were brand new, essentially Right, and they posted pictures of it and people are like, oh, I remembered having one of those as a kid. So the couple started mailing these things out to people, just getting rid of them oh wow, people are like hey, I like that one, and so they would mail them.
Speaker 3:Actually, one of them could be Indiana. I just want to know what the thought process is of the people that did that.
Speaker 4:I mean, they probably were like these damn kids what they had a carnival we're not getting rid of their stuff.
Speaker 3:We stuff, we're just gonna insulate our house. That's.
Speaker 1:That's exactly what the couple believes is that, oh my gosh, look at that. Had stuffed them in there basically for just insulation it was the wall.
Speaker 3:It was a wall between the kids room and their room, a little soundproofing wow, every one of those teddy bears was probably packed full of drugs.
Speaker 1:Look at this Now I'm so. Now here's the reason I brought it up and I put it in there about the fact that, why this got picked up by TikTok and that's basically how it went live, or whatever Viral People could fake this shit All day long.
Speaker 3:I mean they could, but why would you?
Speaker 1:why would you tape yourself to a pole outside a red? Light, that's true people do crazy all the time that's true oh my I'll.
Speaker 3:I'll talk about that later. No, never mind. All mind All right. I'll go ahead and finish. No, I mean just talking about TikTok. One of my favorite things right now is where they video each other. It's like husband and wife and they're like suspect does this and it's like them running down the road and they're like suspect refuses to empty the dishwasher. Suspect, I mean like, but they get a little silly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not allowed to watch. Dishwasher Suspect, I mean like, but they get a little silly. Yeah, I'm not allowed to watch. Tiktoks on my phone, oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Chinese, chinese spying on you, yeah possibly.
Speaker 1:Or a distraction from working. I sound like a big right winger tonight, don't I? Oh, give me my money.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's a luxury. All right, and anyway, in response to the outpouring of nostalgia, the retro toys which Nijisei and Hinkari think could originate from the 80s and 90s are now winging their way across the world to new homes. A pink elephant is headed for Las Vegas, a brown bear to Indiana, a pair of yellow ducks to the UK and a plaid monkey with brilliant blue eyes is on its way to South Carolina.
Speaker 1:There's lots of monkeys in South Carolina right now, See. That's why I call all this bullshit Right. 5.4 million views.
Speaker 3:You tell me there wasn't a single beanie baby up in there.
Speaker 4:Things ain't worth anything. Look at that, oh my God my duck.
Speaker 3:See, there you go. Ain't worth anything. Look at that. Oh my god, my duck.
Speaker 1:See, there you go, Nostalgia man. Maybe they just owned a defunct toy company, right?
Speaker 3:They had KB toys and when they went out of business they're like what are?
Speaker 4:we going to do with all this shit? He was very good at the claw game the claw game. He saw his prizes. Alright, here's a poll. He was very good at the claw game the claw game.
Speaker 1:He saw his prizes, the claw. All right, here's a poll. I guess you would call it our story. It is a poll that went out to 2,000 adults in the UK and I'm actually going to pull up some notes that I also found about this story. But this is our interactive part for anyone that's watching and also for the both of you. So this poll 2000 adults one in six people admitted to serving food to guests that had been dropped on the floor.
Speaker 4:I've never served it, but I will eat it. Okay, I'll take it. I won't give it to if I'm serving it. I won't give it to somebody. I'll take it. I won't give it to if I'm serving it. I won't give it to somebody. I'll give it to me, all right, so you would serve it to yourself. To myself, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1:I actually thought, you know, I've dropped a hot dog or so, off the grill Right. And just give it the no, no, no.
Speaker 4:I give it to the water tank bath. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I'll run it through the old water and then I'll even inform people.
Speaker 4:This is our AI intern what that chicken nugget looked like right before they served it to you. Usually, when I'm grilling, I'm drinking, so I'll just pour a little beer on it.
Speaker 1:It'll be fine, there you go, that's even better.
Speaker 3:I mean, I have dogs, so if anything hits the ground, I don't even get a chance to get it.
Speaker 1:Now have you done this?
Speaker 3:no, you've never served anything off the florida family? Or yeah, no, no, definitely not. I wipe down all the counters and the stove and everything else before I even start, because we have cats and I feel like that's gross.
Speaker 1:You don't want cat hairs and yeah, all right, I even actually pull my hair back and put it in a ponytail when I cook. I know, I know I'm one of these and I'm shocked that this number is so low. It says 28% of respondents said they had tasted food with a spoon that they were cooking with and then put the same spoon back into the cooking pot.
Speaker 3:I might have done that. Well, who hasn't?
Speaker 1:The other 72% are liars.
Speaker 4:I was going to say 72% have said they've never peed in the shower.
Speaker 1:Right, right, today Another 28% admitted they had knowingly served food that was past its sell-by date. No definitely not, and nearly a third said they simply wiped down a knife and put it back rather than washing it.
Speaker 4:Oh no, I've never done that.
Speaker 1:I would worry about diseases.
Speaker 3:I was going to say did you just cut up chicken with that? Because absolutely not Did you make a?
Speaker 4:peanut butter and jelly, just wipe it off, throw it back in.
Speaker 1:Now, this one shocks me because, as a dog owner, this seems like this number would be significantly higher. 13% of guests said they have let their pet clean up spilled milk or food, rather than mop it up themselves.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah, unless it was something that was harmful to them Absolutely yeah. Like I'll pick up onion If I drop onion on the floor, definitely pick that up.
Speaker 4:If it's on there, they'll get it right away. I have three dogs. They don't like olives. I can tell you that they pass that up. Three dogs, they don't like olives.
Speaker 1:I can tell you that they pass that up. We have a Yorkie that loves the black olives. Oh yeah, Like I'll make black. You know, like with vodka, I have to keep them out of it, little booze hound. I'm surprised that number's only 13%.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that seems like a lot. I can't.
Speaker 1:My dog knows the foot tap If I do the foot tap. That means there's something down there for me to eat Right.
Speaker 4:All I got to do is and they're just. All three of them are in there.
Speaker 3:I try to prevent my dogs from eating stuff, and then somebody falls asleep and then a brisket's gone.
Speaker 1:The great brisket story.
Speaker 3:The brisket story.
Speaker 1:You know it's funny, like I love chocolate-covered grapes, and the dogs do too.
Speaker 3:Grapes are bad for dogs.
Speaker 1:Oh well, I cover them in chocolate, it's fine.
Speaker 3:Chocolate's bad for them too.
Speaker 1:Oh no, it's a double negative. It's like health food for a dog.
Speaker 3:You're being facetious.
Speaker 1:A-hole.
Speaker 3:I need another beer. All right, I'll tell you what that I'll tell you what?
Speaker 1:that is the first half. We're going to take a five-minute break and a pause for the cause. This will be a great time. Our buddy, jeremy Screddy I'm not sure if Jeremy's still watching.
Speaker 4:Screddy Pyrotechnics. If you need to blow something up, that make it look pretty, he's your man yeah absolutely, he's having a grandchild and he just did a gender reveal.
Speaker 1:Oh man.
Speaker 3:That would be an awesome gender reveal.
Speaker 1:We've talked about it on here. I know Well people. They hurt people. They don't know what they're doing. But anyway, this is a great opportunity. If you want to sponsor the show, get some love, we'd love you to do it. No-transcript. You talked the whole time.
Speaker 3:He looked like a junior high kid. Welcome back.
Speaker 4:No black lights here, oh, all right.
Speaker 1:Welcome back to the After 2 Beers news podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've made it halfway through. We appreciate all of you that stuck around with us. Yes, thank you and actually we do have a big favor of you that stuck around. Yes, thank you, and uh, actually we do have a big favor. Um, if you enjoy this, uh, this new direction, just give us a like or share us. Um, yeah, just friends and family, if you think somebody would find it.
Speaker 4:Drop us a note please great anything.
Speaker 1:So we'd greatly appreciate. Also, tomorrow night uh, if you're here local, we will will be doing the After Two Beers Trivia at the Elks Country Club. We go live at 730. It runs about an hour and a half and I think it's really cool. We do like it's a lot of fun. Yeah, we do like 15 trivia questions and then we do two rounds of Family Feud. Yeah, that you basically just answer what the question is amongst yourselves.
Speaker 4:And we give away chances to win thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1:Yes, and we do music trivia and then our prizes are basically whatever tips we get that night we go and buy lottery tickets and give it right back to you.
Speaker 4:Yeah see, it's a good plan, it's a circle.
Speaker 1:We're just there to have a good time. Yep, all right. So now let's get back to the news. This one story, number six. A woman in southern thailand experienced nearly two decades of constant pain. It all started 18 years ago when she received stitches after giving birth. She had been experiencing severe abdominal pain ever since Now. Almost 20 years later, she finally got a definitive answer as to what was causing the pain A needle had gotten lost in her vagina, what? And the hospital staff just left it there.
Speaker 4:Oh, no, oh.
Speaker 3:Now our AI intern puts together this oh, are you serious right now? This is why I love this AI intern. Put together this.
Speaker 1:Oh, are you serious right now? This is why I love this AI intern.
Speaker 4:Oh my gosh, I love it. That's the best one. Yet how did they not find it sooner?
Speaker 3:That was going to be my first question. As far as did she have cesarean, or was it in her perineum, as the story goes?
Speaker 1:as a nurse was sewing up the woman after childbirth, she dropped the needle inside of the lady. This is like dropping like a bolt in the motor when you're changing the oil.
Speaker 4:That ain't good.
Speaker 1:The doctor reached in with his finger to try to grab it, but time was running out. Apparently she was bleeding pretty profusely. They said she could have bled out if she didn't get stitched up in time. So he made the tough call and they left the needle inside of her to save her life.
Speaker 3:So instead they just keep letting some shit poke around and keep bleeding in there? Well, it sounds like they didn't tell her.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if she's lived her whole life like this and she just found out what it was, so they literally sewed her up with the needle inside of her and then sent her on her merry way.
Speaker 4:Not like hey, we saved your life, sewed you up with the needle. Come back here in a few months, we'll get you taken care of. No, it's just like shh.
Speaker 3:She's like I have no idea why I keep making detectors go off.
Speaker 2:Metal detectors Every time we have sex.
Speaker 4:It keeps getting stuck in his wiener. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:It kind of changes that whole needle dick for him oh man, she called you a needle dick. No, no, when I have sex with her, I get a needle in my dick.
Speaker 4:Literally A needle in my dick Literally A needle in my dick.
Speaker 3:I mean like was it just like inside the skin, or like it fell down the hole, like I'm just so confused.
Speaker 1:A recent x-ray confirmed that the needle was still inside her body, prompting a referral to a hospital in a province for surgery. However, the surgery has been postponed multiple times because the needle continues to shift inside of her.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I would have bet it does.
Speaker 1:This is why, you know again, I'm going to jump on a soapbox tonight. I'm in a mood. You know. I listened to both sides during the election talking about how bad the country was or was going to be. We are so lucky to live in the United.
Speaker 3:States. We don't have needles left in us, so lucky.
Speaker 1:This country's great for a million different reasons. Is there stuff to fix? There's always stuff to fix Always stuff to fix. This lady has to live with the need. She still has it inside of her right now. They won't take it out, hey.
Speaker 4:Ouch God.
Speaker 1:Oh, we are so lucky. Oh, we are so lucky that poor lady. She currently has no surgery officially scheduled and it's unclear as to whether she will take legal action against the hospital that left a sewing needle inside of her vagina. Ouch, Okay, you know that's a good story.
Speaker 4:We can leave it on that one.
Speaker 1:And then the.
Speaker 4:AI intern. The AI intern is doing a great job.
Speaker 3:Man alive.
Speaker 1:That's a T-shirt waiting to happen. Oh, that is such a t-shirt. Or a sticker. Look how happy that little beaver is, though it's a sticker.
Speaker 3:He's the happiest little beaver.
Speaker 1:Oh, poke me right there. Oh my gosh. You know it's funny how you have to describe that to get AI to draw it like that. I'm glad my daughter was at school when I was describing that one. I was going to say I thought it was going to be a cat. I didn't even go there, I went straight with the beaver. All right, our next story. Gibbler, you read one earlier. Puddin's got one, I got one for you.
Speaker 4:I sent it to Dutch and he's like yes, I liked it. Title of it is man stopped at customs with a hundred live snakes down his pants. Oh, trouser snake. Now I'll probably mess up some of these names. I'm not gonna lie to you. Hong kong, a man was caught trying to smuggle more than a hundred live snakes in a mainland, china, by stuffing them into his pants.
Speaker 4:According, to the country's customs authorities. Customs officers in the southern chinese city of shenzhen intercepted a man traveling through the futan port, a checkpoint between hong kong and mainland china, the agency said in a statement on tuesday. During the inspection, officers found six canvas drawstring bags sealed with tape in the pockets of his pants.
Speaker 1:These had to be little snakes oh my.
Speaker 3:God, yeah, he had on cargo pants.
Speaker 4:Officers opened the bags and found that each bag contained a number of live snakes in various shapes and colors.
Speaker 1:After counting, a total of 104 snakes were found you know I love this new direction we're going in with just stories about the news and it's fun, and I'm also loving this ai contraption that I can he's just walking through the oh my gosh those are not small.
Speaker 4:no, no. Five species of snakes were later identified the milk snake, the western hog nose snake, corn snake, Texas rat snake and a bull snake, Four of which are non-native to China. None of these species are venomous. The statement said the incident occurred a few days ago, but did not specify when. I just wanted the guys oh how'd those get in? There. Oh my gosh, that's my trouser snake.
Speaker 2:Or snakes.
Speaker 4:Oh man, one of the guys. Oh, how'd those get in there?
Speaker 3:oh my gosh that's my trouser snake or snakes. Oh man, like can you imagine?
Speaker 4:like that couldn't have been quiet, because if you've got a bunch of snakes in one small bag, they're going to be like hissing at each other and stuff, right here's the thing the custom agency did not say if the man was arrested, but it warned that if the regulations are violated, the customs will pursue legal actions according to the law. But not only that. In june, in the same area, another man attempted to smuggle in 454 endangered turtles hopefully not any snapping ones in his.
Speaker 1:Look at this, what would happen in there? What is that man damn, did he just drop the whole couch, snapping ones in his? What would happen in there? What is that man down? Did he just drop the whole?
Speaker 4:couch off. Oh, you thought he saw a snake. He said snap, I'm a snake.
Speaker 3:I'm a slithery snake.
Speaker 2:I'm a snake, I'm a snake, I'm a snake, yeah, 104 snakes in your pants.
Speaker 4:What makes you think you're going to? Yeah, I'm going to get through. Oh, that's hilarious.
Speaker 3:I would never want to be a customs person. Oh no, I mean, like you hear all kinds of stories about customs.
Speaker 1:All the shit that they find. I bet you they get to confiscate some good shit. Oh yeah, I bet you they all have really nice pocket knife collections, bottles of water, all the shampoos and clones. Right, you know they probably outlaw shit, just as they need things Right Like oh today we're not allowing size 10 shoes through.
Speaker 3:Anybody with sunglasses I'm going to need all Airordans over here to the side please oh yeah, all right, uh story eight what we got earlier this year and we may have talked about this on the show.
Speaker 1:if not, I definitely talked about it on the radio the uh an adventurer announced that he believed he had found am Earhart's long-lost aircraft, and this was a big deal. She attempted to cross the world in 1937. Her and her navigator, fred Noonan, left Miami that June. Over the next several weeks they crossed Africa, asia and touched Australia. On July 2nd they set off to Papua New Guinea and were due to land and refuel and they were never seen again, so that's when amelia went right now.
Speaker 1:Uh, what's interesting here? Uh, amelia erhart actually visited richmond indiana and the picture I think she was taken was right down here, really, yeah, right up down. Yeah, she was like uh, on a parade deal was it for the bike? Path she was gonna put up, here we go she's like we should put a plane path in it to be smaller she's like hey, I see an open area for parade too, oh no, that's funny maybe the wright brothers would have been about the fight.
Speaker 4:I liked you that long Maybe the Wright brothers would have been about the bike. See, Maybe those guys were like no, why would we do that?
Speaker 1:We'll build planes We'll just build.
Speaker 4:We're flying out of this place.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I can't ride my bike all the way through traffic in Richmond because half the roads are shut down. Oh God, anyway, that's a whole other deal. Davina Watson says drop a link for merch. I I love the deal. Davina Watson says drop a link for merch. I'm in need Gibbler's hoodie. Well, we haven't made merch in a long time, mostly because our marketing budgets are broken. We got to pay this new AI intern. Yeah, but I would actually. That is a great hoodie. I think Amanda's got that one in three different sizes, so I would reach out to Amanda. I don't even have one.
Speaker 2:No, Noanda I don't even have one?
Speaker 1:no, no, I don't, I've never had one wow, you gotta know somebody, I guess all right, so anyways, getting back to amelia earhart, so um, this guy believed he had found amelia earhart's long lost aircraft. I bet he was excited he had to be pumped right, yeah. Well, uh, they went out and they uh, and they ran some tests and it turns out what he found was a rock. What? It wasn't a plane at all.
Speaker 1:It was just a rock. The guy said I'm super disappointed out here, but you know, I guess that's life. All I'm thinking about is Joe Dirt, joe Dirt. Swear to God. All I'm thinking about is dumb and or not, dumb and dumber.
Speaker 3:Joe, dirt, joe, dirt. Swear to God all I'm thinking about is Joe Dirt when he thinks he's got a meteorite. It's a big old tube of poopy.
Speaker 1:AI intern put together what the rock might have looked like.
Speaker 2:That would get you Every time man, I think I found it.
Speaker 4:yeah, look how confused.
Speaker 2:The diver is I love this I'm telling you, it's a rock ai
Speaker 1:is my new thing, it's painful already drink some beer and for sure eat a gummy, and then just throw crazy ideas into it and see what pops out we need to Just get high as fuck, oh my gosh, get pictures going. Oh, all right. Story nine Are you guys liking this new stuff? I like it All right. Josh looks legit to me. It does right. Number nine All these are true, by the way. That's the wildest part.
Speaker 2:And other than the snakes.
Speaker 1:Everything happened again within the last two weeks. Yeah, this is, the beauty of doing the show every two weeks is like I can find this stuff. It's out there because there's all these stories that we're not going to get to tonight. Uh, just as an example, because some of them I tried to read and they, and it turned out they weren't going to be as as funny here, but, like I was telling you guys, one offline where a, uh, a massage parlor in florida got busted over the weekend and they arrested just under 24 women. But the reason I thought it was so funny it was it was two day sting. They called operation skin so soft, which just shows me that the police down there clearly have a bit of a sense of humor to them.
Speaker 1:Um, we talked about the monkeys. Here's one out of haitia, port-au-prince, you know, in haitia. Um, apparently, uh, spirit airlines was struck by bullets as they were taking off. They had to come back, yeah. And then jet blue, same day, when it landed in New York, they found a gun hole or a bullet hole in it. Oh, geez. So the planes are taking off out of Haiti and they're getting shot at by gangs.
Speaker 3:Oh, wow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if it was.
Speaker 3:Allegiant, you would have had to like pay extra for that spot, pay extra for that bullet shot.
Speaker 1:Well, the spirit got in, I guess one of the flight attendants got struck with a bullet. Good God it was shot. Holy cow, yeah, but I couldn't find really a way to make it humorous, so I left that one off.
Speaker 3:But I found it very interesting.
Speaker 1:Again something I hadn't heard of that we're going to let you at least know about. On After Two Beers Right, you can go out and try to find out more information.
Speaker 3:I don't think they got an upgraded seat.
Speaker 1:Uh, another one that I found interesting. This one came from India. This uh guy, um, let me put it to. So there was a uh an uh marriage situation and the in-laws wanted somebody killed off. So they hired a guy to have, uh, the family killed. And he killed them. Oh no, and he was going to pay them, let's say, $20 million. They gave him a million bucks right up front and then he got arrested.
Speaker 1:So, they didn't have a chance to give him the other $19 million. He got out on bail, went to collect it and they wouldn't give it to him. So he went back to jail and told on them.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh. He went to police and said hey, I did do that. I did, but here's why.
Speaker 4:Oh no, so if I'm going, you're going too, yeah, wow.
Speaker 1:I don't know the money there. It was promised 20 locusts and was only paid one, and so he went to the cops and said hey, man, here's what's up. I didn't get the rest of my jack. Hey, if I'm going down, you're going down, everybody's going with me. Don't underpay. The hitman right never seems like the worst thing to do. Worst thing you're going to do is go to jail. If he's good, he'll kill you. Yeah, yeah, it didn't seem like a good idea there, um I had one that was from New York.
Speaker 4:A Chinese food delivery guy was going the wrong way in the Lincoln Tunnel because his navigation app told him to Ended up getting arrested by Port Authority. They were going to let him go but they had to arrest him because he had illegal daggers on him. But his name was Bruce Lee. Shut up, I swear. Oh man, that's Bruce I up I swear.
Speaker 1:Oh man, that's Bruce.
Speaker 3:I was like yeah, Illegal daggers.
Speaker 1:Illegal daggers, yeah, but you know what? Talk about a name, having some street cred, going into prison. Ain't nobody going to fuck with Bruce Lee.
Speaker 3:No, especially because you're in there, because you had illegal daggers, yeah.
Speaker 1:Don't let them go until they search them and found them illegal daggers all right, here's, uh, you know what I'm gonna jump back to davina um, if, uh, you guys would be interested in purchasing, um, some sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, whatever, we can do it as a group. We're all one big family now. We're not? I mean, we've always been one big family, and if you guys want some, I can have them made up for you. Uh, another way just send us a message, go to our Facebook page and drop us a line there, or you can go to patreoncom backslash after2beers and you can sponsor us that way as well. But yeah, kevin's showing you right there on the screen. Ai in turn put together our new logo of the After Two Beers news van.
Speaker 1:And we were able to afford an ad on the side of the road. It's amazing what you can do with just free ship. All right, here's our ninth story tonight. This is coming out next fall Fireball whiskey. Now I know you've drank a fair amount of the so is davina yourself
Speaker 1:I love it spicy water, spicy water I'm not a fan of cinnamon at all and uh, but yeah, there's a lot of you out there, yes, that love that stuff they're. Uh, they're coming out with a new product. It's called crier ball and it embraces a competitive spirit by blending fireball with actual human tears of losers.
Speaker 3:What the hell. Which are all the people that drink this fireball.
Speaker 1:They are going to six big rivalry games this month three college football games, three NFL games and they have people stationed at the exits that will be asking fans to donate their tears.
Speaker 3:I'll get the Bears ones, chicago Bears I had our AI intern.
Speaker 4:You did it, you son of a biscuit.
Speaker 1:I had our AI intern because I mean this is what every Bears fan thinks right now, after thinking.
Speaker 3:Caleb Williams was the answer.
Speaker 4:That guy's fingernails aren't painted though it should be a bottle of men lord, yeah oh yeah, I see how cool ai.
Speaker 1:You know how long it took me to have this created. Two seconds, about 15 seconds yeah, type it in and that's crazy. You don't even type it, you just hit the little microphone I might need you to send me that one, though.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah I might have to have it framed and put in my sports room.
Speaker 1:They said every drop will be captured and stored in sealed, sterile jars and then safely transported to a secure facility for storing and distillation. Now this is even gross.
Speaker 3:I was going to say please distill this. Are you going to drink somebody's sweat? Well, technically, it's kind of the same type of deal they suggest it might taste saltier.
Speaker 1:I bet it will.
Speaker 2:I ain't drinking it.
Speaker 1:No, thank you, the process they said will take months and bottles of Cryer Ball will be made available in time for next year, for the 2025-2026 season. It's vague on how they explain to roll it out though Nice.
Speaker 4:Crier ball, a little car ball, right, give it to me. You ever drink anything.
Speaker 1:It tastes salty like that oh why are you looking at me?
Speaker 1:You're in my head. You got to get up that hot head. You gotta give him that that hot tua. I wouldn't want that. It'd make Fireball taste better. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm a big history nut and I love the fact that you know we're doing kind of the new stuff, and so I started finding some really cool old stories, kind of like what you did, and so I thought every week I would try it, or every two weeks I guess I would try to find something that was just off the wall from history. Yeah, hello, ashley, I'm cousin of mine.
Speaker 1:Hello cheers to you all. Right, here's the story. Uh, it's about a young lady named elvita adams. She was a 29 year old bronx woman and she was a mother of a 10 year old son. Uh, she was trying to live life off her 100 welfare checks. This was in the early 80s. Okay, she was unable to pay rent and threatening to be evicted, so she fell into a deep depression. So on an early night in December and again I think it was like 1981, 82, something like that she walked from the Bronx to Manhattan to look at the city lights and she went to the Empire State Building, went to the observation deck on the 86th floor and once there, she climbed over the fence that surrounded the observational platform and jumped.
Speaker 1:Oh no, yeah, she jumped. Now here's the wild part. She lived. Shut up and only sustained a fractured pelvis. What What'd she land on? A strong gust of wind blew Elvita back towards the building, oh no, and she landed 20 feet below on the ledge on the 85th floor, really and was found by a security guard five minutes later, because she was groaning from pain.
Speaker 3:This woman tried to kill herself. Tried to do it and said nope, Not today. Mother of.
Speaker 1:Satan, not today. You got a 10-year-old at home to take care of. Get up man. Now here's the wild part Nobody knows where she's at today. What Really Like. She probably succeeded sometime.
Speaker 3:Probably changed her name after that shit yeah another time later.
Speaker 1:Sad story. Maybe it's not. Maybe she turned out to have an amazing life after this. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Maybe she felt that like this was her second chance.
Speaker 1:Well, it literally was. Right, it literally was.
Speaker 3:But I'm just saying that, oh, I guess I'm here for a purpose.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was looking into this. It's interesting to me and there was actually a lady that jumped off the observation deck in. It was years and years ago, it was like in the 1940s I believe, and the lady had dressed. She got all dressed up and it was in Time Magazine. It was called.
Speaker 4:Yeah, what was that one called? She just looked peaceful like she was sleeping.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was like the most beautiful suicide or something like this. She had landed on top of a car.
Speaker 4:I'm sure Kevin can find it, but she was, yeah, just like she had just gone to sleep yeah, right, where she was, she didn't.
Speaker 1:There was no blood or nothing and the observation deck of empire state building as well uh, I don't know if it was the observation deck, but it was definitely the empire state building, because that was part of it was how many people had jumped off this building and and taken their lives right and there was multiple, because I've never been to, uh, new york city, let alone that building, and from what I understand, it's like an eight foot tall fence that has wrought iron that gets back towards right, the building can't climb, yeah she got over it.
Speaker 1:Well, obviously. And uh, there's a picture of a lady that uh committed suicide off that building. This is, hey, this is the beauty of our show, right? We can have fun a long time ago and give you a little fun facts about something else, but anyway, all right, well, if we can't find it's no big deal, you can look it up, not, you guys not kevin, I mean whoever's watching or listening, all right.
Speaker 1:Well, um, this is our our second go at uh after two beers news. I hope you guys are enjoying it, uh, if you're sitting and watching us now or listening to it, if you do, please, by all means and I mean this sincerely share us um fun facts. I love it. Aaron, appreciate it. There's the lady that, uh, that made it that is just 79 1979 I was off by two years.
Speaker 1:Close yeah that's crazy yeah, well, if you don't come out of that thinking that there's something else for you to be done, right? You know, I feel that way sometimes when I get to the bottom step and I miss the step and I don't fall and I'm like a little for a little gift from god hey, I did not I did not do that.
Speaker 3:I actually like I missed three steps this week. Got a nice little spot on my fell right on on my knees, had a dog in my hand. Made sure that I didn't crush the dog. Look at.
Speaker 1:Ash, this is awesome. Do you have any more of the sweatshirts? We're going to have to have some more.
Speaker 3:We're going to have to do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and uh what in all seriousness if we can get some sizes minimum. We could probably do as little as 10 of them maybe, yeah.
Speaker 3:We can make it happen. Black Dog Training here in town.
Speaker 1:They do all kinds of that Kind of sour Across the street.
Speaker 3:Circle E.
Speaker 1:Circle E.
Speaker 3:I can't see from there. I think it's that.
Speaker 1:Anyway, they're getting all kinds of free advertising right there, all right. Well, um, we will uh, I'll tell you what I will do some research before, uh, the next show and we will have some feedback on the sweatshirts, about how much they'll cost and and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4:But um, I might even have.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there we go. We'd all have one, they'd be a collector's item. Thanks again to our buddy Kevin here at Global Enterprises for taking care of it. Global Media Enterprises I got the enterprises right.
Speaker 2:I got the media, you got the media.
Speaker 1:God, I should just get a tattoo of it. He would love that. Thanks again to him. Thanks again to our Patreon sponsors. Thanks again to Everybody that's listening on Facebook. Again to our Patreon sponsors. Thanks again to everybody that's listening on Facebook.
Speaker 3:Thank you guys. Thank you for hanging out with us tonight.
Speaker 1:So I get well, we say it at the end of every show and it is very important. As always, especially as we approach the holidays, this is a troubling time for a lot of individuals. I mean, you start reminiscing about the past and seasonal depression as well.
Speaker 4:I'm telling you it's dark at 430.
Speaker 3:Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 4:Can't even ride my bike now.
Speaker 1:You just got to have blinkers. We should just get like an orange barrel and we'll cut it in half and you can wear it like sandwich board style as you ride down the street. We should have Kevin put in a time-lapse video of the bike path that runs right here and we can actually count how many bicycles are on it in a 24-hour period. There you go.
Speaker 4:That'd be a boring job.
Speaker 1:We'll give it a two-week period, I bet you, you would see more grocery carts with scrap metal in them than you would see by single. You would see more grocery carts. Oh yeah, all right. Well, anyway, I got sidetracked again, yeah.
Speaker 3:Sorry, the end of every show. Oh, I know.
Speaker 1:Kevin put something on here how to politely remind cyclists about the million-dollar bike path. Oh, wow, yeah, yeah, they got to get here. You know, everybody lives outside the community, outside of downtown Richmond, so we figured out people. We have so many people that are in rural areas that, yeah, yeah, I need a way.
Speaker 4:Anyway, yes, that yeah, yeah, anyway, anyway, yes, if you see somebody struggling.
Speaker 1:Um, do me a favor, just reach out to them. Yeah, uh, tell them to watch our show. Definitely, walk, drive over and hang out with them and watch our show together that's right, have a beer, have a drink. But mostly just reach out to them, ask them how they're doing, how they've been, or just let them know you care about them and appreciate them. Here we go.
Speaker 3:And one step further. If you are struggling, reach out to somebody else.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Everybody deals with things and I don't think that there's anybody that's going to turn you down if you're struggling and you want to talk about stuff.
Speaker 4:See, you friend, be your friend. Yep, there you go.
Speaker 1:All right, Without further ado. Gibbler, I guess we will talk to them all next time.
Speaker 2:After two beers
