#172 After 2 Beers: Backup Underwear, $20,000 Tips, and a Trip to the Piggly Wiggly: The Quirky Side of Life

After 2 Beers Episode 172

Ever wondered why half of Americans carry backup underwear? Or what happens when someone leaves a $20,000 tip on a $1 charge? This episode of the After 2 Beers podcast, hosted by Dutch Dalton, Kimmy Gibbler, and Puddin', is a rollercoaster of quirky news and hilarious anecdotes. We kick things off with a nostalgic nod to our journey over the past seven years and some exciting news about our ever-popular trivia nights at the Richmond Elks and plans to expand to the local VFW. Plus, catch up with our sports chatter as we keep one eye on the Notre Dame game amidst the laughter.

From peculiar happenings at Piggly Wiggly to the whimsical idea of renaming the Gulf of Mexico, we cover all the bizarre stories you didn’t know you needed. Dive into the world of "Divorce Day" in January and the fascinating, if not slightly absurd, reasons behind it, like the fallout of disappointing holiday gifts. There's also a nudge towards practicality with stories about backup underwear and discussions on how the holiday stress can send people running for the divorce lawyer. We mix humor with insight, ensuring you’re informed and entertained all at once.

Our quirky tales don’t stop there! We venture into the realm of video conferencing dysmorphia and ponder the mysteries of blinking clocks that mock our procrastination. Relive a fabricated strip club adventure and look at California’s wildfires with both sincerity and a touch of humor. As we close, we hit on the importance of reaching out to loved ones post-holiday, reminding everyone of the power of connection and gratitude. Join us for an episode brimming with laughter, insights, and stories that promise a delightful escape from the mundane.

Yes, I've got the Notre Dame game on here, so if you're watching that and maybe you got us on your little iPad or your phone.

Speaker 1:

Hey, it's the inverse here. I'm going to try to get us through this one tonight by far less than an hour, so that we can go at least myself. I haven't had dinner yet. We're going to watch Notre Dame hopefully make it to the national championship game, Potentially against Ohio State.

Speaker 2:

How big would that be? That would be so much fun.

Speaker 3:

In this area. Sorry guys, I'll wear my Potentially against.

Speaker 2:

Ohio State. How big would that be? That would be so much fun In this area All right, sorry guys, I'll wear my Buckeye gear you would I know?

Speaker 1:

Well, I'd wear my Ball State gear if we ever make it to the national championship game. I'm counting on it. All right, let's do our first story. What do we got? All right, this one comes to us from the state of Georgia, a 43-year-old inmate there. His name was Kenneth Gibbs. You're already laughing. You don't even know. Do you know the story?

Speaker 3:

You just know, it's coming right.

Speaker 2:

We're just waiting until you mispronounce something.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I'm really trying to enunciate very clearly this evening it's not a red Dodge Ram.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's right. Anyway, here we go, he.

Speaker 1:

The red Dodge Ram. Yeah, that's right Anyway. Anyway, here we go. He was caught trying to smuggle some stuff into jail. Now a man has we like to affectionately call them on the After 2 Beer show, a prison purse.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Women have those.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Men have one, women could have two Possibly. But, what you know, and it's not that big of a deal.

Speaker 3:

I'm sure stuff gets tried to snuck into jail all the time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah. But what was impressive was the volume of things that this man had, and I'm like hermione's bag and mary potter.

Speaker 3:

Mary poppins bag.

Speaker 1:

Mary poppins bag yes I'm impressed that this man this has not been his first time, I I'm promising you, there has been some stretching over time.

Speaker 3:

He's been doing exercise.

Speaker 1:

Yes, all right so here's what this gentleman, mr Gibbs, had in him, not on him, as he was being taken to jail Two vape canisters, okay, all right. Four syringes, oh geez. One vape cartridge Three. Batteries A's or double A's Four syringes, oh geez.

Speaker 3:

One vape cartridge, three batteries A's or double A's, Whatever fits the vape apparently Whatever fits the vape, that's right.

Speaker 1:

A cigarette lighter and .64 grams of marijuana.

Speaker 2:

Okay, all inside of him. So what was the syringe for?

Speaker 1:

It's probably to numb his asshole. There's a lot of shit in there. Take it easy. Would you literally want to use a syringe that came out of somebody's ass?

Speaker 2:

No, I wouldn't want to smoke what was up from his ass either.

Speaker 3:

This tastes like shit but it does the job. It tastes like Labrador.

Speaker 1:

He is facing multiple charges and could be looking at more time.

Speaker 3:

Well, it sounds like that's where it's a good place get that thing stretched out a little bit, you know how did I catch him?

Speaker 1:

well, I think some of these jails now they actually have x-rays and things before you get pulled in there and it's like I, it's one of those like, when it's coming through, it's like who's fucking with me, like it's the new guy? Yeah, no way there is no way there's that much stuff in that guy's butt hey, rookie, you take the x-ray machine.

Speaker 3:

Okay, you guys seen love up four syringes.

Speaker 1:

Four and they're long, I mean oh wow.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, women's measurements are men's.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, all right, here's our next one. This comes to us from the country of Vietnam. I'm interested. It's not really so much a story as much as just what's going on in the world. They are paying people now to report bad drivers. Okay, world, they are paying people now to report bad drivers Okay. If you in Vietnam now, if you see someone texting and driving running a red light, you can report them. And here's the kicker you get 10% of whatever the fee is. So they're incentivizing you to rat on people.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you see somebody texting and driving you. Text us and let us know, right, well?

Speaker 1:

that's the wildest part, right? Yeah, the maximum payout is just under $200 here in the US, so you could literally make 200 bucks like ratting on your fellow drivers. Wow, and I just found this funny Snitches get stitches. The national currency in Vietnam is the dong. Yeah, so it's actually five million dong that you would get.

Speaker 3:

I don't know that's the 14 year old in me.

Speaker 1:

I was like I know a lot of women in this town that have gone through five million dong. That's a lot of dong. All right, here's a. I actually you know what we're gonna start filtering in some things and, uh, I put together some random questions that I wanted to talk about, just uh, just to get everyone's kind of thought all right and uh, this is one that's going around right now. There you go. This is why I love doing this, we're back.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, and the beauty is that Kevin can pull up verifying material. I have to go back and forth, since we did the RTMP, rtmp, yeah, the stream link and all of that. Oh yeah, that's why I'm switching back and forth.

Speaker 3:

Oh, you're fine, Are we live? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, we'll be live.

Speaker 1:

All right, cool, all right. Here's the question I have, and it's been brought up a million times and I'm really curious. So we give away lottery tickets at Trivia, okay. Yeah, and some of them, you know, could win up to $250,000. If we give a ticket to somebody and they're like man, that's awesome. We greatly appreciate this. We just want a quarter million dollars. Wow. Would you, in the back of your mind, expect a little something back, a little?

Speaker 2:

tip. Yeah, I know, if I won $250,000 off of a ticket that somebody gave me, I would give back. What would you give them? Probably 25,000.

Speaker 1:

10%, 10%, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's the question comes from. This was going around on Facebook and so, for instance, if someone gives you a lottery ticket and you win the quarter million dollars, now let's say that it's somebody that you work with, that you don't really know, and it was one of those like Christmas parties where you just have I wouldn't know him again I wouldn't be working there anymore.

Speaker 3:

I wouldn't be working there anymore. Like, do you ever?

Speaker 1:

see yeah, I'm kidding. If you gave them 25, right?

Speaker 2:

yeah, I'm thinking I'd probably do 50. 50k, so now you're going up even more because normally, like I think, 20 is a good tip no no, what are?

Speaker 3:

you giving 10.

Speaker 1:

If that, if that yeah what have they said to you? Like you're good, let's say it's a family member. Now and it's five thousand dollars, let's make it way more reasonable. It's like a dollar scratcher yeah and you know you give it to somebody as a stocking stuffer oh, and they win, and they win, okay, and let's say it's a cousin, an uncle, an aunt, you know what I mean and they win a thousand bucks. Okay, was it a thousand?

Speaker 1:

I said five five, let's say five thousand, whatever and they're like oh, thank you so much, here's the five dollars back that you paid on the ticket. I can. Awesome, let me at least pay for that. Would you be a little pissed if they won five grand and they gave you five dollars?

Speaker 2:

I don't expect anybody to give me anything, though.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but you expect to have to give something.

Speaker 2:

No, it's just what I do. Yeah, but would you really give away?

Speaker 1:

$50,000 just because they're the one that bought the ticket. And wouldn't you be a little pissy that you gave it away, knowing that you held?

Speaker 3:

in your hand a $250,000 ticket. Yeah, I don't know, I'd eat you up a little bit.

Speaker 2:

Maybe I would just make it $25,000, because I'm going to have to pay taxes on it right Now she's.

Speaker 1:

I love this already. This is. It's one of those great problems to have.

Speaker 3:

Right, 10% of whatever I get back.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the idea is, once you're hanging out with your friends and family after the show's over and you've had a couple beers, ask them. Yeah, seriously, mom, if I gave you.

Speaker 2:

So if I were to win a lottery, like say I win the big, the big dog yeah. Would you guys be like, I mean.

Speaker 1:

No, no, not really. I'd hope you'd like hook up the show Honestly, honestly. Yeah, honestly, I'm like fine, I'll hook up the show and pay off your guys's mortgages.

Speaker 3:

I just want to have a sweatshirt again with our logo. Right, how does everybody else right?

Speaker 1:

man, we can't even afford to get them printed. All right, all right, let's get back to the news. We'll come back to some of those questions yeah all right. This one took place in wisconsin. A man from racine was taken in custody this week after authority said he was allegedly caught masturbating inside a grocery store in Kenosha County.

Speaker 2:

How is it? Allegedly, you either are or you aren't.

Speaker 1:

Well, allegedly is for us in the media in case he doesn't get convicted. Yes, and then he can't sue us because it's alleged.

Speaker 2:

Was it out, or was his hand in his pants? Oh, it gets better. Okay, let me give you some details. I'll just shut up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 32-year-old Tyree Carter, a Racine Wisconsin resident, was taken into custody on Monday, december 30th, and he was charged with one misdemeanor of lewd and lascivious, lascivious, lascivious. I don't know what that is.

Speaker 3:

I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Apparently. Apparently it means skeeting. Skeeting behavior. The officers said the charge stems from an incident that allegedly unfolded inside a Piggly Wiggly.

Speaker 3:

Even better.

Speaker 2:

Just after 2 pm on a Sunday afternoon. I feel like there is a t-shirt coming for this one.

Speaker 3:

Oh man.

Speaker 2:

Got my wiener out at the Piggly Wiggly.

Speaker 1:

Officers were called to the scene following a report. Got the pork out at the Piggly Wiggly. Officers were called to the scene following a report. That's yeah.

Speaker 2:

Got the pork out at the Piggly Wiggly. Oh my God.

Speaker 1:

That sounds like a Rodney Carrington song Right. Porking out at the Piggly, wiggly oh man. Officers were called to the scene following a report that a man had been inappropriately touching himself. While inside the store, yeah, an employee of the store allegedly spotted Carter, acting suspiciously and tried to determine if he was stealing something, only the innocence of the youth that were watching Whatever was in his pants. Upon further investigation, the employee realized that Carter had ejaculated on the floor and left the store.

Speaker 2:

He didn't even put a little what signed up.

Speaker 3:

He should have got some diapers.

Speaker 1:

He's like oh, they've got those cheesy tornadoes again. Authorities later identified Carter as a suspect and said he was taken into custody by racing police on Monday. So he was out for two days before they found out that he was the I don't know. What do you call that? Like um?

Speaker 2:

he's skeet and ran you know what?

Speaker 1:

That just proves the diff like a man's brain. It's like pre skeet and post skeet, and this is true. I don't know if we're the same way.

Speaker 2:

He's like. I just ghosted everybody after skeet.

Speaker 1:

It's uh, your mind is so different. Maybe he's walking in there and there's cherry tomatoes that are right next to the melons. He's like, oh, look at those, those look like a big hole. Then he can't help himself. He's like this makes sense, it's in the produce. They clean up, they have that water cannon right there.

Speaker 3:

They can spray shit down there, insert it into something.

Speaker 1:

You would hope you would hope, otherwise he could work in the jelly bar, I mean, oh, like anyway um yeah, so there you go, that's.

Speaker 1:

Uh, that happened. Uh, we were talking what else? We were talking about this one offline. I wanted to bring it up. Uh, not even so much because of who said it, it's just I'm intrigued by this thing. In a press conference this week, president-elect Donald Trump made an announcement that the Gulf of Mexico will finally be renamed the Gulf of America. He said it's a beautiful ring to it, it covers a lot of territory. The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. It is appropriate. It's appropriate. It's unclear if the name change will happen immediately after trump's inauguration or if there's paperwork or something that will need to be done.

Speaker 3:

First.

Speaker 1:

You got a random mcnally and say, hey, we're buying this so I look this up and uh, because I'm a history nut and so I'm not sure if you're aware, uh, or you or whoever's watching, that, uh, new york city used to be called new amsterdam, okay okay it was a dutch colony.

Speaker 1:

Uh go dutch until 1664 the english decided they wanted it and they named it after the duke of york. So they called it New York. So all they did was take it over. Yeah, that's literally how they got to change the name. So as I was thinking about this, I'm like, well shit, he could technically do that. It's mine now.

Speaker 2:

Oh, he took Texas from Mexico.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's the other thing. What are we going to do about New Mexico, right? Does he want to change the name? It's going to be.

Speaker 2:

Old Mexico and then we'll have a New Mexico.

Speaker 1:

No it would be New America, but it's like a treasure island, then, or like an amusement park, I don't know what it would be, but it would be like New America, new America. I don't know, you don't know.

Speaker 3:

And now we're going to take over Canada, which means poutine is coming.

Speaker 1:

I love poutine. Have you ever had poutine? No, have you?

Speaker 2:

ever had poutine. No, it's going to be the 51st day, gravy and cheese on French fries.

Speaker 1:

It sounds weird. Well, it's going to be in our 51st state. It's going to be their national food, our national food, our national food, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Do we have?

Speaker 2:

to take the French Canadians too.

Speaker 3:

Oh man, All of them.

Speaker 1:

All of them Canada's like quebec, and we will support you on the greenland thing as long as you take right um the quebecans. All right, here we go. I guess it'd be quebecers, quebecers quebecans, I don't know all right. Uh, according to a survey, nearly half of all americans carry something with them Backup underwear, oh yeah, the reasons include, in case they have an accident, because they plan to change clothes during the day, like maybe go into the gym, is another one. Or because they're clumsy and might spill something on themselves?

Speaker 2:

No, it's because they're afraid to shit, right, yeah, yeah 70% of people who carry spare underwear.

Speaker 3:

Are over 30.

Speaker 1:

Right Right 70% of people who carry spare underwear are over 30. That's actually going to shock you here in a minute. Okay Now, like 70% of people who carry spare underwear say they have had it come in handy at least once, really yeah, which means at least twice they've needed it but one time Now. Have you ever carried spare underwear? Yes, Do you carry them now?

Speaker 2:

No, I mean, but I think the majority of mine is um. If you've ever had lost luggage, I always carry some, like if I'm flying.

Speaker 1:

If you're going on a trip, yeah, but I'm talking about normal everyday life.

Speaker 3:

No.

Speaker 1:

Like I travel a lot for my job, right, yeah, I have a bag that I keep in the back of the car that has essentials. Yeah, right, little minimal things like uh, there's roll paper towels, uh, a roll of wipes, uh, toilet paper, roll toilet paper, um, things like that, not just bathroom related stuff, but things that. But I also keep a change of clothes, yeah, and it's not even just about shitting yourself, right, I mean, that's the thing.

Speaker 2:

Right, I'm being hygienic but you travel for your job, like I'm sure I probably would if I traveled.

Speaker 1:

But when I worked at the office here in richmond, I would keep a change of clothes at work did you really? Yeah, because we were uh business casual yeah, so it wasn't like I was wearing jeans or something and um, and it was a lot of it was. If I spelled food on myself or you. Just you know we were wearing nicer clothes and they want to walk around with spaghetti stain all afternoon didn't want to do the walk of shame, no so I just keep a change of clothes and uh, so you guys are in the minority well, I kind of want a reason to go home and change.

Speaker 2:

I don't want to use wet wipes and then just put new ones on.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to need to hose off, just throw it away.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're gone.

Speaker 1:

I'm hosing off 60% of Gen Zers and 50% or excuse me, 57% of millennials say they have an in case of emergency underwear yeah, wow. Millennials say they have an in case of emergency underwear yeah, wow, people who carry backup underwear are more likely likely to replace their undergarments sooner. Eighty two percent of them say they should replace their underwear after two years. Do you have a timeline on your undies?

Speaker 3:

Yes, god, no, we actually discussed this one of our podcast.

Speaker 2:

Have you really yeah, so it's at least once, or sometimes every six months, sometimes once a year, but yeah, no, I replace my Andes.

Speaker 1:

I don't have an expiration date on mine. No, mine don't, if it didn't we're off.

Speaker 3:

No, when I order them when they're delivered.

Speaker 2:

Then the old ones go out.

Speaker 3:

Well, it depends. If I'm shitting myself, you're going right in the trash. Now I have been known to yeah, I ain't watching those. You ain't getting them back.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'll tell on myself. So I was at a golf tournament and I was out of town and these underwear were driving me crazy. I mean, they were just.

Speaker 1:

Were they on Josh.

Speaker 2:

They were just riding.

Speaker 1:

Oh, you mean personally On mine.

Speaker 2:

I had my own and like I was tired of having to pick them out of everywhere. I was tired of having to pick them out of everywhere, so I actually got his knife and cut them bad boys off and threw them in the trash on the golf course.

Speaker 3:

There you go.

Speaker 2:

It's a true story.

Speaker 3:

No I messed up his game.

Speaker 1:

for the rest of the day I've heard way worse stories from you about yourself. No one doesn't even surprise me that much.

Speaker 2:

So, yes, I had to commando the rest of the little tournament thing. It happened.

Speaker 3:

Josh liked that a little bit.

Speaker 1:

You mean, guys have gone commando on a golf course.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he's a good man.

Speaker 1:

All right, you guys want to hear a good story. Let's get a good one in there, let's throw in a good one. This one comes to us from Houston, texas. On Christmas Eve, a 36-year-old bartender in Houston had a very good Christmas, and it was all thanks to Mr Post Malone.

Speaker 1:

Renee Brown is a single mom with no other family and she works two jobs and also homeschools her daughter. She was working the late shift at a neighborhood bar called the Rail Yard on Christmas Eve. Come on in, buddy, come on in. And it was a slow night until Post showed up with his friend Shaboosie and a few other friends. Now that's a cool evening. Hey me, shaboosie. You want to go out and have some beers with?

Speaker 2:

me.

Speaker 1:

It's Christmas Eve.

Speaker 3:

Right, he said here's to the one to the two, to the three, yeah, Find a place that's open, go grab a beer.

Speaker 1:

Well, and it's so funny because it's between you or me you, okay, she told the Music Mayhem. The group hung out on the patio and played songs on the jukebox from 12.30 to 2 in the morning. Now we're getting ready to tell you about how cool he is. This is a single mom that works two jobs, with no other family, and you're making her stay there till two in the morning on christmas.

Speaker 2:

He made up for it. Yeah, yeah, but you see what I'm getting at, yeah all right.

Speaker 1:

Well then, post uh, he went to pay the check, but he didn't have one. His friends and a few regulars had bought all his drinks that commonly happens amongst us and, uh, he wanted to leave her a tip though, so he asked renee to charge him for something, even if it was just a penny. She ended up charging him for one dollar, and then, when she was closing down, she checked his receipt and he had tipped her twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 2:

Nice yeah, so here's the problem with that, though yes, if it's on a card. No, if it's on a card right, she has to. A lot of establishments don't have that much money to give you that at the time. Right, so if they do it in a check, then she's going to still be taxed dearly.

Speaker 1:

Yeah Well, President Trump's getting rid of tax on tips.

Speaker 2:

I do hear that, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So she should hold on to that paycheck for a while.

Speaker 2:

That's true, yeah.

Speaker 1:

See, I'm going to be honest with that. It's kind of a shitty thing. You just said and I'm going to tell you why that is the most pessimistic attitude. Oh shit, Now I have to pay $20,000 tax or taxes on 20 grand.

Speaker 2:

On tips you have to pay 40%. It's kind of like a commission.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but I'm just still saying that's still a shit ton of money.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yeah, it is, I know I know, I know what you're saying.

Speaker 1:

I just don't. I mean who carries around 20 grand to hand out as tips? Right Besides Floyd Mayweather, Right? Yeah?

Speaker 2:

I was going to say I figured that I don't know.

Speaker 3:

It's because he can't remember they have it.

Speaker 2:

Maybe just have it in cash, jeez.

Speaker 3:

Have somebody carry around a duffel bag Right, just a duffel bag of money because nothing bad comes out of that Nothing I had to pay the taxes on that.

Speaker 1:

Might as well, not give it to me. They're going to take like 40%.

Speaker 2:

No, I would still be very happy with a $20,000 tip.

Speaker 1:

Oh right, no doubt That'd be pretty cool. Good for him, though you know what, from what I've seen of that guy, he seems pretty down to earth for where he's at in life. Yeah, got to love on something like that Best concert. Doesn't he like Charlie, or like O'Charlie's or Applebee's, or?

Speaker 2:

he likes like yeah, like one of those. Yeah, like a chain. Yeah, he does. I know he likes Waffle House. Well who doesn't like Waffle House?

Speaker 1:

Well, I mean, he's had some partying in his day. Who doesn't like it? Right? All right, all right. Monday just passed was January 6th. It was a special day it's the first working Monday of 2025, but it also means it was divorce day, the day of the year that you're most likely to get dumped, really. Yeah, a study in 2020 found Google searches for things like quickie divorce more than double every January. So that's right. When the ball dropped New year, new me and the new year and people are like fuck this guy's out. I'm out.

Speaker 1:

There was a resolution that you were a part of, to get away from you.

Speaker 2:

I was going to say. Isn't that also? I don't know. It's two weeks for your resolution to put right.

Speaker 3:

Isn't there a date?

Speaker 2:

for that like a holiday or something. Second Friday they call it Quitter's Friday.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's it. Experts think it's because people tend to avoid breakups in November and December just to get through the holidays, aka Cuffing season. I need some shit, yeah Right.

Speaker 2:

It's cuffing season.

Speaker 3:

I mean, you wouldn't think that would happen. With the tax time coming up, you get them taxes.

Speaker 1:

Holiday stress, they said, can also be a final straw, and the first working Monday gets the title In-laws Because the added stress of getting back to work. I would be interested to know how many of these people that are dumped the first week of January. It truly is tied back to a gift that was either given, that was horrible, or somebody believed the lie. Oh, we're not buying for each other this year.

Speaker 3:

That damn scratcher they handed out, that's right.

Speaker 1:

The scratcher they handed out. And then the other part that was interesting to me is they said in the study that the reason it happens on this Monday is it's typically the first Monday back for most people, right? And so like they're having a shit day and they're at some point like their day's fucked, right, and they go ah, screw it. When I get home I'm telling them to pack their shit, we're done, we're done. And meanwhile that person is sitting at work.

Speaker 3:

Oh man, I hate Mondays too. Man, I just hope my team wins tonight.

Speaker 1:

I can't wait to get home and see my lady, right, nah, nah, you're out, bro. You're out, all right. All right, let me give you another quick 830. We are doing excellent and the game is still 0-0. Oh, nope.

Speaker 3:

Penn.

Speaker 1:

State's got a field goal, so you're nothing. Penn State's got a field goal. It's 3-0. Boo, Boo, Anyway. Here's the next one. I don't know why the other night our home lost power for like 30 minutes.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I don't know if it was an accident with the snow or whatever, okay, but this happened. Let's say today is Thursday. Let's say it happened Monday or Tuesday night. Okay, okay, follow me so far. Okay, I walk into the kitchen today to prepare a sandwich and I noticed that the clock on the stove was still blinking, the incorrect time of when the power came back on, right, yep. And so then I got to looking at it and I was like well, people call me OCD, but obviously I've walked by this clock for two straight days with it just flashing the wrong time. So the question I have to you, to our listeners and people in there how long can you go with that clock flashing the wrong time before you have to set it?

Speaker 2:

Oh, it would have been immediately yeah.

Speaker 1:

Really yeah. So that's a challenge I give to all of our listeners tonight Go home and unplug it and then see how long it takes.

Speaker 1:

Now Amanda's sitting in the other room, so it's not going to do any good, but I'm going to guess, based upon the time Amanda spends in the kitchen, it probably would never get changed. But no, I'm curious about it because there are certain things that were people get OCD about, right, and I'll be the first to admit I like a cleaner home, but you know, we are very active and our house isn't always the cleanest. And I remember one time my son was home from college, my daughter was there and in the bathroom there were three rolls of toilet paper, of just the rolls, just the roll, yeah. So people were literally taking it off, setting the roll down, putting a new one on, and this happened on three occasions, and they were and then I realized, you know, that means I'm walking by them as well.

Speaker 1:

I I'm just as guilty, even on the clock. I'm not saying that they're up bad, how many times.

Speaker 3:

do you notice that clock? Though? You're in a hurry, don't?

Speaker 1:

That's what I'm saying, like now, it was like I was just staring at it right as my you know, I was making my sandwich and I was like I don't know, I wonder how many people are so weird about shit Like. That's why I'm asking, like, if you had that clock, how long could you go Would?

Speaker 3:

it just kill you. I mean, a lot of us grew up with them vcrs. We couldn't program the clock, so they just flashed 12 all the time so 12 was nice, though it's a good round number yeah, now you look at it and you're like shit, is that right am? I late or early right oh, all right.

Speaker 1:

Um, here's one out of st louis A 32-year-old man there was stuck in the snow. He was trying to get his car out of the parking garage on Sunday and luckily another guy in an SUV showed up and helped him get out. Then the guy who helped him get out put a gun in his face and took his car took his keys.

Speaker 3:

Are you serious?

Speaker 1:

Yes, what the heck. He helped him get it out and then he only stole his keys and the guy that gave his keys up, he ran away, called the police. They turned out the person who had robbed him never actually took the car, they just took the keys. So the car was still there, but they're still trying to track the guy down. I don't know if afterwards the guy's like why am I going to drive that car? I already got my own. I was like, why am I going?

Speaker 2:

to drive that car. I already got my own. What the hell? That's a dick move, right there, right.

Speaker 1:

Like how could you get it?

Speaker 2:

I don't want this damn car that can't even get out. You want?

Speaker 3:

my money? Nope, just your keys. Just your keys and the batteries out of your remote.

Speaker 2:

I just want to do a B&E my wife needs a key fob.

Speaker 1:

Yes, Jeez Shit. I'm like I didn't even pay this much for the car. Let's see We've covered that one, that one, that one Golf of America.

Speaker 3:

Golf of America. Oh my God, America.

Speaker 1:

Who genuinely uses the clock on the range? It's not that I use it as much, as it just stares like it's flashing at you're lazy, you're lazy, you're lazy, you're lazy.

Speaker 3:

That's what I feel like it's doing.

Speaker 1:

Every time it flashes, I feel like my refrigerator or, excuse me, my stove is judging me.

Speaker 3:

Oh, yeah, just sitting here looking at you like.

Speaker 1:

Fuck you bridge. All right, I think I've only got a couple left. All right and I'm going to hurt some people's feelings here in a moment. It's not going to be pretty.

Speaker 2:

Is it going to be me? No, it's going to be a lot of people.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, yeah, all right. Here's this story that came out of the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology. They reveal that frequent video conferencing is driving a rise in cosmetic procedures. People scrutinize their own appearance more closely during video calls and they've actually got a syndrome for this. They call it video conferencing dysmorphia. The phenomenon is linked to users who focus on their own face rather than others during calls. They said, on average, most people more than half when they're on. I'm on video conferences at least three times a week or three days a week and, uh, you do catch yourself looking at yourself, right Like FaceTiming too, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like you're looking at yourself. Well, these people that are on it, it's starting to freak them.

Speaker 1:

yeah, yeah like you're looking at yourself. Well, these people that are on it, it's starting to freak them out. It's like looking at a mirror all day long and it's not a great mirror, right, like you know. You have like a mirror at the house you'd like and then you walk into the bathroom somewhere and you're like jesus, what the hell I look like this or my mirror at home I'm like, oh, okay, it's not bad.

Speaker 1:

You go to a department store or like the kohl's or the three-way mirrors, and I'm like, oh god yeah uh, so now this is interesting to me um, 68 of people that are on these calls use filters to enhance their looks. I didn't even know that was an option. I didn't know that either. Yeah, yeah, 68%. I mean, that's a lot.

Speaker 2:

I've seen the one where they get the one filter like a potato head or something, and they can't get it off.

Speaker 3:

They cannot get that thing off. I'm just going to leave this on here.

Speaker 1:

Eh, whatever, bud you're a potato head. The constant self-viewing is similar to what they call Snapchat dysmorph and it has lead excuse me, led to an increased demand for procedures like Botox fillers and laser treatments. Nice, so there you go. Working all day now makes you want to have face surgery. Yeah, lots of things. Let's see. I've got one more. This one took place. We got to have a Florida story, right.

Speaker 3:

Well, yeah, you got the Florida.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. In Fort Pierce, florida, 61 year old james newland was arrested after allegedly threatening his 33 year old boyfriend with a revolver following an intimate encounter. Uh-oh, according to the police. The younger man said newland told him I like it rough so he smacked newland's butt hard enough to leave a handprint.

Speaker 1:

After Newland told the victim to stop that he was hurt, the man apologized, put his underwear back on and returned to the living room of Newland's Fort Pierce home. When Newland subsequently appeared in the living room, he allegedly grabbed a revolver from a side table and pointed at the victim saying you want to try me, you want to fuck with me? Oh no. And fired a shot into the porch's pavement as the man left the residence.

Speaker 2:

Oh, wow.

Speaker 1:

They noted that Newland's intoxicated state recovered multiple firearms from his home.

Speaker 3:

There you go.

Speaker 1:

And he's charged with an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was released on bond. He said he just fired at his new beau because he was trying to scare him.

Speaker 3:

Said he liked it rough.

Speaker 1:

Liked it rough, until he actually smacked him. Never mind, never mind. Now I'm going to ask you guys, Not that rough, yeah this is a little weird, but yeah, I'm going to ask you. It's old school, so if you get rough in the bedroom, do you have a word, a safe word?

Speaker 2:

Isn't it meatloaf? No, I'm asking you, I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that.

Speaker 1:

This guy's is apparently a gunshot Right now, that's enough. I'm going to shoot you now. It's horrible, all right.

Speaker 3:

Well.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:

Yeah, great. So before we go, I got to tell you this is a story that, uh, it's kind of let some of you down and, um, I did some research into this.

Speaker 2:

There was a are you dumping us?

Speaker 1:

no, no, there was a story that was going around right after the first of the year here in indiana about a exotic dancer that gave birth at the hip hugger. Now I've been to the hip hugger it is a uh, it's a dank strip club. Yeah, in kokomo it's um. I've been to a lot of dank strip clubs the best yeah and uh. But anyway, apparently there was a woman there that was 38 weeks pregnant, said she was originally supposed to be on maternity leave, but the money is so good around the holidays it was hard for her to pass up. Now this thing went all over social media and I love the fact that this showed up everywhere.

Speaker 2:

Everywhere it was, on Tiki Taki.

Speaker 1:

They even misspelled the names intentionally. Her name was Cinnamon With an S. Yeah, like a sin, I got to tell you guys this story. I know you've both been to strip clubs. I've seen you on the stage there, and that's the truth Not dancing, she wasn't intentionally dancing, she wasn't there on right, she wasn't working her shift, if you know what I'm getting at right well, anyways, I went to one one time, and it was in uh, this is the weirdest fucking story ever.

Speaker 1:

I'm in, uh, this little town in the middle of pennsylvania, nice, and it was. I was there for a work trip, yeah, and on the other side of a mountain that I had to go up and over was Gettysburg, and I'm like, and I'm a history nut, oh yeah, and I'm like, well, I got to do this. I got to, and so I'm driving up and over the mountain and as you're going across this mountain, you come across a gas station and then you keep driving and then you see a bar and across the street from the bar is a strip club, and I'm single at the time. It's, I got nothing to do, it's dark, I'm not going to see anything, gettysburg at this point. I go into the strip club and I walk into the room and this girl comes out and I'm the only one in the entire room, right, oh, nice, and the seats were weird. It was like an old movie theater.

Speaker 2:

I was going to say were you in pervert row?

Speaker 1:

No, like, listen to this, like this was the most uncomfortable strip club situation in the history of man. So I walk into this place and it was two drink minimum, right, all right. But they didn't sell alcohol. So they wanted me to buy sodas, yeah, and I said, well, what if I want beer? And they're like well, there's a bar, you can walk across the street, buy the beer, come in and we'll sell it to you, sell it back to you, and I'm like well, give me two mountain dews. I swear to god, I don't even drink them I just had to buy two mountains I go into this room.

Speaker 1:

It was an old movie theater, it was a small theater, all the seats were gone but they still had the where the screen would have been, and now it's a stage like bogarts in cincinnati, right and uh, all the seating is like those chairs that you stack up, that you don't fold them, but you know what I mean. They're just straight up and down and okay, and there's just rows of them like bingo chairs yeah, okay, and you're sitting there and you're just, and there's rows like you're go.

Speaker 1:

It looked like a church service, maybe, like without pews but on the stage randomly, all by itself, was a stripper pole. Okay, this is awkward, right. And this girl comes out and she goes this is my first night and I said, okay, and she goes, my name's trouble and I wanted to go. The joke would be like how do you get into trouble? Yeah, right, but I'm like I can't go there, right, and she told me it was her first. I've never had a conversation. It was almost like it's like, you know, when you go to like a Benihana's and the guy comes out and he's talking to you first like that's what it was and she's like well more

Speaker 2:

or less it's like now.

Speaker 1:

I'm to go up there and get naked for you, Right Welcome to the establishment and I'm sitting there going. What the hell am I doing? I'm on a mountain in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2:

Can you leave me a review after I'm done?

Speaker 1:

please Tell me what I did. The wildest part for me was when I pulled up there was like 10 cars outside, so I'm like where are all these people?

Speaker 2:

Champagne room.

Speaker 1:

Well, apparently they had built onto this place with like mobile homes, like little ones, like little, like trailers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and then like you went, that was.

Speaker 1:

Yes, Like boom boom rooms, I'm assuming.

Speaker 3:

Yeah Right, little massage parlors Right, and I'm like what did I walk my?

Speaker 1:

So anyway, wow, this young lady, she gets up on the deal. She's starting to dance and she climbs up on the pole, gets up to the top, falls, just falls, smacks, lands on the ground, bounces, you know kind of deal. Gets up, looks at me and runs off like Napoleon Dynamite did when he was dancing, and I'm like all right, I'm going, I went back to the hotel, I think I had like an O'Charlie's that night or something.

Speaker 3:

Oh wow, I was like I got to get out of this place. You just shake your head and be like what the hell, did I just see?

Speaker 1:

So, the longest absence or leaving of a show ever. So unfortunately, I really kind of wanted this story to be true, as bad as that sounds about my home state, it seemed too good. Yeah, apparently it was. I couldn't find anywhere like this stuff has actually happened, right, and then I guess this Kokomo Press that put it out. It's like, I'm assuming, like the Onion.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, okay, Just make up stuff.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I give them credit. That was a good one, it caught on, it went well.

Speaker 3:

It went and we can picture it happening there Caught on like a California fire, oh.

Speaker 1:

Oh, oh, speaking of which Too soon, man, that is fucked up. That shit's still going on. Yeah, it is. That's the thing, like I am, and it's weird, like I feel for those people. Oh, it's horrible. They show these pictures, these videos, and it's a beautiful country, that area, but those houses are literally built right on top of each other because they want to maximize the land they've got out there. But it's just dry and it just takes one little spark.

Speaker 3:

Well, 100-mile-an-hour winds do not help. Oh my gosh crazy stuff.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, all right.

Speaker 2:

Well, we didn't want to say that it was because of P Diddy's baby oil it was a dry stroke shooting sparks off.

Speaker 1:

I mean they take all his baby oil and the fire breaks out that's what happens when you smack him on the ass too hard he gets upset. Well, I appreciate again all of you for joining us tonight. Thanks again for all the viewers that stuck around. We greatly appreciate it. We will be back here in two weeks again, on Thursdays, uh, eight o'clock and uh. But if anything changes, just follow us on Facebook. We'll keep you up to date. So thanks again to everybody that showed up. I, uh also will be doing the, the point here in. You can listen to me every week on that too.

Speaker 1:

So, all right, we say it at the end of every show. It is by far the most important thing we say, mostly because we talk about strippers and shit on the show. But it's simply this you know, we're coming out of the holidays and Holidays can be really tough on a lot of people, especially if it was their first year maybe going through it without a loved one or someone like that. So if there's a person in your life that you feel like they're just struggling right now, or they just don't seem like themselves or they just seem a little off, you know they may be mostly OK, but 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. You'd be surprised how something so small might mean the absolute world to them.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, reach out yeah.

Speaker 1:

Something just little. So there you go. All right, thanks again, and um, I guess without further ado, gibbler, we will be back next time.

Speaker 2:

After two beers
