#182 After 2 Beers: The Mosquito-Sized Drone That Could be Watching You Pee
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Remember when privacy meant drawing your curtains and locking your door? Those days are quickly vanishing, and in this eye-opening episode, we confront the unsettling reality of our surveillance-saturated world.
The conversation begins with a seemingly innocent debate about hotels versus Airbnbs (would you stay somewhere if the owner is sleeping downstairs?), but quickly evolves into something far more provocative when we reveal China's latest military innovation: drones the size of mosquitoes. These tiny surveillance devices can literally fit between your thumb and forefinger yet capture crystal-clear footage. As we pass around beers from our sponsors at The Bottle Shop, we contemplate how technology has fundamentally altered the concept of being alone.
We dive into the psychology of FOPO – Fear of Public Opinion – which experts are now calling a new epidemic. Do you check your social media posts obsessively for likes? Feel anxious when ordering food because the line behind you might be judging you? You're not alone. Our discussion about digital validation and hypervigilance reveals how we're all affected by this modern condition.
The news segment delivers stories you definitely won't hear on mainstream networks: a man who discovered he was married when his ex-fiancée left the certificate on his porch, a guy who attacked someone with a wooden stake believing they were a werewolf, and a Florida resident who called 911 over 16,000 times. Between explosive tequila-soaked turkeys and vigilante dollar store employees, these bizarre true stories highlight just how strange our world has become.
Whether you're concerned about technology's reach, fascinated by human psychology, or just need some laughs about Florida's wildest residents, this episode delivers genuine conversation that feels like hanging out with friends around a bonfire. The world may be watching, but we're still laughing.

Bonfire Discussions: Hotels vs Airbnbs
Speaker 1All right, we want to make sure we thank our trivia supporters as well the Elks Country Club here, locally, the VFW the Moose. If you get a chance, make sure you follow us on Facebook. We'll keep you up to date on upcoming events for the trivia Bonfire discussions. Before I jump into that, if this is your first time watching the show, listening to the show, thank you so much for tuning in. Yeah, we greatly appreciate it. The whole point of the show is we're just some late 40 Gen Xers that are just hanging out sharing life wisdom with everyone. But the key to the show the name of the show After Two Beers is that it came from the idea that we have to consume at least two alcoholic drinks before we begin. It's just like hanging out at a bonfire, absolutely, or at a bar or wherever, or family reunion, all the topics that get brought up. Yeah, yeah, exactly. We talk about things that may be of interest to you. We also look at Ponder.
Speaker 3It's like that's a it's not chilled. That's a dude's version of like hey man bring home a gallon of milk and bring home a bush lime, bush lime.
Speaker 1I'm going to warn you, josh, this is the last one, and he's about to consume it. Well, we'll share it. But if you go to 830 South 9th, they do have them available.
Speaker 2They got them there if you need some.
Speaker 1Yeah, so there you go Right there. There's what the building looks like. All right, jumping back into what we discussed Now, we call these bonfire discussions. I threw a few of these down here, but if you guys have ideas or if those watching have suggestions, we are open to those. One of them I want to talk about Hotels versus Airbnbs. Okay, specifically, I'm kind of weirded out by Airbnbs, as if the owner of the house is still staying there.
Speaker 4I had a conversation.
Speaker 3One of them that we stayed at for our wedding. I'm just like I'm out. No one of them that we stayed at for our wedding. I'm just like laying in bed. I've got the kids' room. I keep hearing this no Lizard, they got lizard in there.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1I remember that.
Speaker 3It's like covered with a blanket and I was like oh, they didn't want me to look at lizards.
Speaker 1They also had like a big four foot doll in that room.
Speaker 3Oh, yes, they did, it was so creepy Lizards and dolls baby. Lizards and dolls.
Speaker 1We're going to talk about that. I also saw a story that just came out. China introduced drones this week and this is wild to me. They are the size of a mosquito, oh shit. And it's a military drone that they can fly into locations. And it's this. It's literally the size of a mosquito.
Speaker 3Holy cow it was wild. They're not too expensive because they're gonna get smacked down a lot. Oh it's. I mean, well, they're going to get smacked down a lot.
Speaker 1Well, they're military, so spare no expense. But it's wild to me. We had a swatting situation here locally and I saw a drone that was flying above the scene and we've got a drone expert here in Mr Shook, so we'll talk about that coming up. Then there is a new FOPO. We've heard FOMO. Fomo, fear of missing out yeah uh, this is faux po and uh, some are considering it the new pandemic or epidemic. Rather, it's fear of public opinion and uh, social media leads into that.
Speaker 3Yeah, we obviously don't have one.
Speaker 1Well, yeah, based on the show no, but based on everything else, yes. In the news. This is where we tell you the news stories that are happening in the world that you're probably not going to hear on the nightly news. First of all, we got a story about a gentleman that was married and didn't know that he was married until he found the sign.
Speaker 2I love it. That's exactly what it was. I got that coming up.
Speaker 1Were they in Vegas? No, he was at home in Texas. I love it. And he found out when he saw the sign wedding certificate Son of a bitch.
Speaker 3Was he just drunk and just didn't remember?
Speaker 1We'll get there. He had nothing to do with it Coming up Nice. There was a werewolf sighting in Salt Lake City. Someone took action, tried to kill the said werewolf.
Speaker 2I've got the details on that Fonder hasn't been to Salt Lake yet.
Speaker 1No, okay, there's a new turkey recipe that was very explosive and we've got some family dollar excitement here in the state of Indiana.
Speaker 1And what would an After 2 Beers show be without having at least a few Florida stories? I got three tonight. Nice, we gotta have a Florida story and then we'll jump into our close. If you're watching the show live, feel free to comment. I also wanted to make reference to this. This has been really cool. Our listens have jumped up tremendously on our Buzzsprout site. Good, which means yeah, it means, like iTunes and Spotify and all those locations, people are more actively listening. I mean like record-breaking numbers for us in the summer.
Speaker 3I feel so important.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's kind of cool, Like it's wild, because you can watch, our listens and our views change. So in the winter our views go up. I mean, kevin and I we chart these numbers together and we'll see 1,000 views on a show, but the listens drop. But in the summer it seems to be the inverse. So hey, if you're a local organization, look at that.
Speaker 3That's wild to me. Maybe they're sitting around their bonfire. That's exactly what I was going to say. They're sitting around that bonfire.
Speaker 2Dude, you got to play this.
Speaker 5It could be because I'm here, I don't know. Yeah, it might be Three weeks.
Speaker 3Yeah, I'll say this oh, that's what it is. Well, you see, we had the dry spell until Scarpetti showed up, right? That's really cool. I'm excited to see that.
Speaker 1Yeah, all right, without further ado. That's a 15-minute introduction to the show. There you go. We're actually going to start discussing some shit now. What's our first campfire? I want to talk about Airbnbs versus hotels. My mom is the inspiration behind said conversation and it's because she mentioned that they've got a group of ladies that are going to Nashville. Okay, and the lady that was in charge of the booking of said event she booked a hotel, okay, yeah. My mom told me she's like, oh, I'm excited to go. And she told me this story two or three times. She's like you know, I'd rather stay in an Airbnb. And she said but it's okay, I don't really care.
Speaker 2And I said well, obviously you do, because I heard about it three times.
Speaker 3You've been talking about it for a minute, obviously I mean I would rather, but I don't care, but why?
Speaker 2why does she want? Prefer the airbnb?
Speaker 1okay, and you're all in one place. Well, that was part of it okay, okay but she also like they're going to be there for a while and uh, I don't even know what a while is, like three days. She's like I like having the ability to wash towels and washer dryer right.
Speaker 2I want to have a hotel. Bring me new ones.
Speaker 1Well, that's so that's, but they're kind of scruffy, that's fine, here we go. This is why we're talking about this.
Speaker 2I like it a little rough, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1You're going to go on a vacation for a week. Pick any city, it doesn't matter the city. Would you prefer if prices were the exact same, to stay in a hotel or an Airbnb? I'm a hotel guy.
Speaker 3So I can tell you, gosh, I kind of like the Airbnbs.
Speaker 2Why? So? You know well, I take that back.
Speaker 3I've never been. It depends on how many people are gone never. But I like people having their own room but also having like a full kitchen and so you can make some of your own food, because shit's expensive when you're vacationing, but also like you just have your own space now. I also kind of prefer like the condos that are rented out okay, or like the houses that are rented out. Okay, or like houses that are rented out. That it's the majority of what it is is. It's being rented out.
Speaker 3It's not like it's not I'm not looking at your kids senior pictures on the walls.
Speaker 2They're lizard underneath the blanket.
Speaker 3Yeah, the lizard underneath the blanket.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 3So it's just kind of that's another game, that's another game, right, that's another game, that's another game. Right, what you do on vacation is what you do on vacation.
Speaker 1I didn't get anything like that in the room I was in how many Airbnb is this, holy hell?
Speaker 3Four-foot doll and a lizard.
Speaker 2Are we sure it was a four-foot doll?
Speaker 3Well, according to him, how tall are you?
Speaker 1Five-seven, depending on the shoes Were you standing in the corner, I know so.
Speaker 3It's a four-foot doll in your room. She's making me out to be like a predator?
Speaker 1no, I'm just joking, don't you need to go to sleep?
Speaker 3little girl, so you can hear me snore I got the lizard right.
Speaker 1What? What do you prefer? So that's my whole thing. So the wild part is, I've stayed in a few Airbnbs. I've stayed in a million hotel rooms in my life and the Airbnbs like the ones I've stayed in first of all, I'm the only person there, or the group.
Speaker 2I can't imagine staying in an Airbnb when the owners of said home are in the same home In the same place. That's weird. That's so weird to me. We'll just be downstairs, if you need anything, you to leave.
Speaker 3Right, that is so weird what you having for dinner.
Speaker 1Oh, I've seen videos where, like a family was sitting like in a living room watching TV and all of a sudden, like a secret sudden, a secret passage behind a bookshelf opened up and the family that lived there when the dad came out it was like, sorry, I was just running to the fridge for something and it was like I've seen that where they put a thing on the fridge like hey, don't eat this stuff, this is ours.
Speaker 2That's wild.
Speaker 1The last place I was at they had fresh Oreos they had stacked up. I forgot how much I liked Oreos.
Speaker 2You know what?
Speaker 3I do like.
Speaker 1Oreos.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 3I will say this you picked the wrong people because we will raid a pantry.
Speaker 1I will say I've never stayed at an Airbnb or a hotel and had free Oreos.
Speaker 2No, it's cost you $16.
Speaker 1And let's say, hypothetically, you wanted to smoke a cigar. It's way easier to smoke said cigar at an Airbnb in the backyard than it is at a hotel room.
Speaker 2I think I'd just rather stay at a rental property.
Speaker 3How about that?
Speaker 5Dalton. I just booked one today Airbnb, Airbnb, Panama City. The difference is this is my second time, but I'm a hotel guy.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 5But the only reason I book it an Airbnb, because if you take a bunch of people it's way better.
Speaker 4You're right, but if you're like in Hawaii or somewhere.
Speaker 5I think I'd rather stay in like a hotel, because it's free breakfast, you know you get some of that. That's resort yeah resort living, but then also the Airbnb. You know you get some of that. That's resort, yeah, resort living. But then also in the Airbnb you got free parking, you have your own beach, private beach, oh shit. So like you got to look at it like that. Now, if you go somewhere where there's no beaches and stuff, there's no way I'm in a hotel.
Speaker 3So is it a rental property, or is it like where somebody is going to be on vacation and you can stay at their place for that week? It's a rental.
Speaker 5It's like a condo slash hotel. Almost like a timeshare, yeah, like a timeshare. But these guys, what they're doing is they're buying all this property on the beaches because people want to be on the beach. Oh yeah, Well, they want a private beach and they want private parking. They're gated and all that stuff.
Speaker 3So we do that. Yeah, I like that. We stayed at one in Panama City and it was like a condo.
Speaker 5Yeah, just like that.
Speaker 3But they didn't have a lizard and a doll and pictures of your kids on the wall. If there's a doll, I'm out bro.
Speaker 1Let me ask you and the reason I bring this up I found a story this week about it was people that work in hotels and things that you don't know that would benefit you to know, and things that you don't know.
Speaker 1that would benefit you to know, for instance, if you tell you, if, when you check in, this is no shit, they said, if you tell them that you're either a doctor or a professor, they will give you better shit. Are you serious? Yes, now, here's the gross one. All right, now what if you say you're going?
Speaker 2to take a shit.
Speaker 1Now, as a person that has never drank coffee in a hotel, I'm not worried about this one. No, neither am I. I'm not a coffee guy, but I'm sure there's some people. They got those little K-cups. I didn't realize that a lot of people clean their underwear in those coffee pots.
Speaker 2Get the fuck out of here. You are not Shut up. Yes, get out of here. You are not Shut up.
Speaker 1Yes, get out of here, they throw them in there, they throw the hot water in there and then they let them dry. If they're going to stay for a couple days, well see that's another thing.
Speaker 2I go on vacation for like seven days. I'm taking 21 pairs of underwear. You never know if I shit myself If I go on three days.
Speaker 3do you know that, like typically, no, I think everybody in this room can say that when they go on vacation they overpack for undies there's no such thing as overpacking for undies.
Speaker 1I'm over 40.
Speaker 2I trust a couple farts and that's done. I got about 2 or 3 going commando is a dangerous option.
Speaker 1It's 2 a day 2 a day that is a good ratio right now it's probably 3 a day. Swamp ass is a serious issue, yeah, but if right now it's probably three a day, because swamp ass is seriously swampy.
Speaker 3Yeah, but if you're in a hot place, you're probably also got your swimsuit.
Speaker 1Are you going to wear a swimsuit around? I'm talking about swamp ass.
Speaker 3No, I mean, but I'm just saying that you're like, you got your morning underwear.
Speaker 5That's when you take Gold Bond, your swimsuit.
Speaker 2I'm telling you your after shower evening undies, I got some anti-monkey butt. I'm going to tell you right now.
Speaker 1Gold Bond, in all honesty, is a godsend to a fat man.
Speaker 3If you make sure you don't get the mentholated. Oh, the powder's good bro you got to be real careful with the mentholated, because if you put that in an area that you didn't think that it was mentholated, that's going to be t.
Speaker 1I had a buddy named Brad one time that gold-bonded the inner side of his nuts and everything.
Speaker 3He had gotten golded at work and he was chafed yeah.
Speaker 1And it set him on fire and he said he jumped up in the sink and was like splashing water onto his gonads.
Speaker 2You know that scene in Super Troopers where he comes out of the locker covered in shaving cream. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they used menthol and it actually gave him a couple little burns.
Speaker 3Oh shit, that's funny Good times.
Speaker 1Great. One of my big fears at an Airbnb and I guess the same thing could happen at a hotel is, I'm convinced now and it leads right into our next story on these drones they could put cameras all over that house. You don't even know. No, they could have one in the bidet.
Speaker 3I'm not attractive enough for anybody to want to look.
Speaker 1It don't matter, you got feet, don't you?
Speaker 2You got boobies, don't you? It don't matter, they'll take that shit and run with it.
Speaker 3They're going to watch me fart one time and be like, yeah, let's just cut off the coverage.
Speaker 1Upon the owner of the home.
Speaker 2they may love pudding the best, yeah you're going to see me try to helicopter about 80 times, but it ain't going to work. More like a sprinkler.
Speaker 1Oh my gosh so gross.
Speaker 2We got any beer in there, hey.
Speaker 1I'll share here. Have some of that one. Did you kill that one already? Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2Yeah, well, drink that one.
Speaker 1We'll drink fast tonight. We're all going to share.
Speaker 3None of us have hepatitis that I'm aware of, or herpes or anything. I mean I do have a little bit of a throat issue but it's allergies.
Speaker 1Yeah, Congratulations, Josh Hershey had a throat issue. Anyway, All right, let's talk about these drones. China introduced a military drone today or not today necessarily, but here recently and it's the size of a mosquito. Now again, here's the beauty of working with Kevin Shook. He will be more than happy to bring it up on screen.
China's New Military Mosquito Drones
Speaker 3Oh, it actually really looks like one too.
Speaker 1Oh, when you see it in their hand, it literally fits between their thumb and their Look at that.
Speaker 3That is a drone. Okay, okay.
Speaker 1So my question is at this point in life, can we all agree that we literally have no freedom anymore, as far as when it comes to being alone.
Speaker 2Yeah, no.
Speaker 5Honey, I blew up the kids or shrunk the kids. That's what something like that reminds me of.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, you know what it's funny to me is when I was a kid in the 80s, I was watching Revenge of the Nerds and one of the pranks was they broke into the sorority and they put all the cameras in it and they were the most obvious ones ever right. Right Big hole in your ceiling Right and it looked like one of these DSLR or KSLs, you know, like huge cameras, these things are tiny.
Speaker 2Now wait a minute. Now they are tiny, but what's the range on them? They're going to have to be close to use them. They ain't going to be able to ship all them overseas.
Speaker 1No, no, no, no. The point more is like exactly what we saw with the swatting situation here in downtown Richmond. Yeah, so it's a way for you. Look at this, he's holding the drone.
Speaker 3Okay, I'm going to see like the visual, like what you can actually see with that it's a camera well, I know, but like how, how?
Speaker 2good, can you?
Speaker 3see with that little of a camera.
Speaker 1Look at that thing it's not the camera so much as the screen size well, there you go.
Speaker 3You can see really well, yeah, okay that's 4k baby.
Speaker 1Look at this shit oh my goodness and what, and in the whole point of this is for me, this is 2025, right Now. This one is a different country. It's a black horn. It's the size of the palm of your hand.
Speaker 2And it's just checking out the terrain, oh my.
Speaker 1God. So here's and I'm not going to badmouth Kevin on this, because he's sitting right there and he helps produce the show. One time I'm in my mom's pool, which is in the neighborhood that Kevin lived in, and he's like, hey, I saw you guys in the pool and I'm like holy shit, like now we weren't doing anything dirty in the pool why not.
Speaker 3I was going to say did I flip my hair over and make it look like the George Washington?
Speaker 1Nice. But the whole point of it is we worry about the NSA, you worry about companies that can get through, Because if you've got a camera on it, if they can access it. I mean, boom right, these are like the creepos that do a swatting.
Speaker 2Right yeah, Take a company you know, police personnel, taxpayer money.
Speaker 1I'm more thinking of two. It's a relationship that didn't go well, yeah, and now I want to stalk somebody and I can buy a tiny ass drone and follow them basically all over town. Yeah, well, unfortunately, and with a mosquito-sized drone, I mean, you can follow them anywhere.
Speaker 3So what are the laws against that, like with invasion of privacy?
Speaker 1I don't know. That's a great question for Kevin.
Speaker 2What do you got, Kevin?
Speaker 4We're getting there. We're getting there. So, yeah, they do have to prove there is invasion of privacy. It's kind of like when people are like I'm gonna shoot that drone down, I'm like I'll do it, then I get a new one. Um, because, yeah, because that's destruction of property. But if that, if that person can prove that there is, uh, if they were spying, like if you're hovering over a pool and you're sitting there a long time, then that information is already saved in a cloud where your drone's at via GPS. So then the evidence is there that you were most likely spying and then you might get an evasion of privacy or something.
Speaker 1Okay, what's the definition of for a long time?
Speaker 4Reasonable time period. Hey, I got to go back to doing the show.
Speaker 1Hold on, I got to produce something. Leave me alone. Hey, my abs are getting better, right? No, so my whole point is more there's two things that I think are going to reshape the world that we haven't even addressed yet, and I don't even think we know what's coming yet. And it's artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, I I honestly, so many people that have jobs today will not have a job in five years not, at least not that job because those jobs are going to go away. You know you can go online right now. I designed two new stickers this week with AI. Oh nice, they're really cool too right, it's like one.
Speaker 3I was going to say I need to see some. I haven't shared them.
Speaker 1I haven't shared them. I like you, sneaky devil. It used to take me a week to do these things.
Speaker 2Now it takes you like 20 minutes?
Speaker 3No, it took me about five minutes, five minutes that's and tell it what, what you want and yeah, and just tweak with it and it's not perfect because I I worked really hard on trying to do something and I had to redo it like 10 times because it kept it would like misspell before or something it's getting better with that I've been been taking some classes on AI to figure out how to work with it and that kind of shit.
Speaker 1It's amazing.
Speaker 2But the second one is drones.
Speaker 1So you're already seeing it. Now, ukraine utilized these things. These drones cost less than $1,000. They shipped them in a freight container and when they got them close to the location, they brought them up out of the crate and destroyed millions, and and destroyed millions, and millions and millions of dollar.
Speaker 2Question these containers. Hey, why we got that, I don't know. Just parking over there.
Speaker 1Well, people don't care about their jobs yeah, that's a job that's probably going to be replaced by ai soon. Tell somebody where to park. Oh, I'm telling you, the world is changing, all right parking attendance anymore like going in and out of places.
Speaker 3You just scan a little thing and pay it.
Speaker 1You know one of the topics I did bring up, it's just all technology period. Yeah.
Speaker 3I'm telling you it's smarter than us.
FOPO: Fear of Public Opinion
Speaker 1Yeah, well, that's what they say All right, we're going to talk about our last bonfire discussion. Fear of public opinion. About our last bonfire discussion. Fear of public opinion. Now, this is uh. New york times, I believe, is where new york post rather that's where I found this one and um, fear of public opinion. It's uh. The question was, is it a new epidemic? And uh, now, the way I would describe this is these are people that I call it chasing the hug. Okay, it's people that do things online that they really are just trying to get some attention.
Speaker 2You just want to take a picture of yourself giving homeless guy money.
Speaker 1Exactly. Or the look at me, yeah, the kind of thing, or the look at me, yeah, the kind of thing. Now, it's characterized by people that are hypervigilant with hypervigilance.
Speaker 2That's one of them. Tough words, huh, oh, I even had it right, is it?
Speaker 3vigilance or vigilance.
Speaker 1Vigilance. There we go, hypervigilance, vigilance.
Speaker 3I said vigilance, good Lord.
Speaker 2I'm going to be a vigilance. I added a letter in there.
Speaker 1I added a Nell. This is what happens when you drink beer and try to do.
Speaker 3One of these shows you said you needed to do another show.
Speaker 1Oh.
Speaker 3I was joking.
Speaker 1Hyper vigilance, thank you. Social readiness you know you would think I do these on purpose. Yeah, wink, wink. Hyper vigilance and social readiness. And it's basically what we're doing is we scan the world for approval. So, and examples of these are feeling like you're in line and you're ordering your food and it's taking too long and it's freaking you out because you're worried about what everybody behind you is thinking.
Speaker 3The only stress that I get on drive-thrus is the ones that they have, the two where you order. And every single time I'm like I'm going to get the wrong shit, I'm going to get the wrong stuff, or somebody's pulling up and I'm like, oh, but what if they're going to get my stuff and I'll get their stuff.
Speaker 1That's fine, I've gotten better stuff at the time. Her whole thing is worried about pickles and mustard. Yeah, pickles and mustard Ponder says we lost our privacy by choice Handling a smartphone. Very true. I mean, as far as people are worried about chips, I want to know how many people could go more than 20 minutes, no inserted chips.
Speaker 1I want to know how many people can go more than 20 minutes without their cell phone. And so, as long as you have yourself and it's used in crimes all the time, I've watched enough real life real crime shit where they're like we tracked your phone.
Speaker 2Your cell phone tower pinged here right next to the murder victim.

Speaker 3You don't repent, I was looking for a job when I got that one? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1I like my job. All right, buddy.
Speaker 5Talking about cell phones and you know, can't go without them. Last year, two years ago, my phone went down for four days.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 5I thought I was going to lose my shit.
Speaker 1Really.
Speaker 5You'd have no idea.
Speaker 3Withdrawals.
Speaker 5It was during firework season.
Speaker 3It's how you know all of your contact information. I'm freaking out. It's your calendar. I couldn't fix it, so you know what I did.
Speaker 1What'd you do, man. This is no bullshit.
Speaker 5I got another cell phone. I got an iPhone 15 in the box, brand new, with a line. I put it in the safe. It's been there for two years.
Speaker 1Shut up. You pay for a phone that you don't use.

Speaker 5It's cheaper 16th Street, these guys no, but I mean, that's a real thing.
Speaker 1You were that worried about it.
Speaker 5Well, it was during season and I couldn't call nobody. No one could call me. I still had to go to work my job, the other job, I mean, it was crazy.
Speaker 1Now I will say one thing that is unique about the ability to still grab your messages without utilizing the phone, whether it was like an iCloudcom or I don't know what you utilize Apparently Apple, because you have one in your safe.
Speaker 5now I got a backup plan. I'm ready for whatever happens.
Speaker 2God, you're the greatest guy to have on the show. I need this phone, but I need another one exactly like it.
Speaker 5But you brought it up so I had to say something, because people think I'm crazy for that. Yeah, but I went four days and I thought I was going to lose my shit. Wow.
Speaker 2I mean yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1It's hard to you know you're trying to gamble and look at porn.

Speaker 5streak, my streak broke on Snapchat.
Speaker 3My streak on.
Speaker 5Snapchat.
Speaker 1Oh, that's funny. The wild part for me and I think a lot of people go through what I would call FOPO, and really for some people it's really about instant gratification, right, and that's the beauty of of social media is, um, if that's something you require, the thumb up is that have you ever in your life be truthful with me? Cause I have all right. I'll be the first one to admit this, especially when we did the After Two Beers page. But even on my personal page.
Speaker 3I was going to say just for the After Two Beers page.
Speaker 1No, I've done it on my personal page, where you've posted something and you're like why the fuck didn't I get more thumbs? Because that's badass. Tell me, I'm the best.
Speaker 2I was like man, is it that dirty? I was like man, is it that dirty? I'll take it down You're right?

Speaker 4Okay.

News Stories: Marriage Without Consent
Speaker 1This is a long-running show tonight. I like it. Yeah, actually, mike Coddington told me one time one of our Patreon sponsors like your shows are too fast and I'm like nobody wants to listen to this shit for more than an hour.
Speaker 5You should have heard what Kevin just said Well, tell me Nuts Talking about Tetris, nuts in the guts, nuts in the guts.
Speaker 3Oh, because of the way you have to eat your Eat, your Eat, your.
Speaker 1All right, oh yeah.
Speaker 3Let's go to our first news story tonight.
Speaker 1This comes to us from the great state of Texas, nice. A 42-year-old man there called police after he found a Bath Body Works gift bag from his ex-fiancee on his front porch. There were some products inside that included a copy of their marriage certificate. Oh, there's just one problem he didn't know he was married. He wasn't drunk or high or anything. They never had a ceremony. What, how'd she do that? Yeah, well right, there's some stalkers in the world that are like yes, tell us this story, tell me the secret.
Speaker 2She said, hey, it's because they're doing fake marriages now.
Speaker 3No, apparently they well, she said do you want dinner? He says, I do.
Speaker 1No, no. This is a relationship where these two were together. They went to a county clerk three weeks ago to get a marriage license and then they broke up afterwards, before the wedding. The fiance, 36-year-old Kristen Spearman you can look her up. There's a Photoshop or not Photoshop, a photo of her mugshot. She convinced a pastor to certify the marriage without the guy present or signing off on it?
Speaker 3What about your witnesses that have to sign?
Speaker 1Well, god, god Kristen has been arrested for felony stalking. The name of the groom and the pastor have not been released. This lady literally got married to a dude and the dude didn't know it Well, is Spearman her married name.
Speaker 2All right, it won't be hard to look him up right, yeah, it won't be hard to find out and tell you. Oh, my look at her.
Speaker 1God.
Speaker 2I thought I got away with the perfect crime you meddling kids.
Speaker 1She got done in by a Bath Body Works bag.
Speaker 3Joke's on her. He's got more debt.
Speaker 2What's behind?
Speaker 1his ears. This one comes to us from the state of Utah. A man in Salt Lake City was out having lunch with a friend earlier this month and out of nowhere the guy attacked him, put him in a chokehold and tried to stab him with a wooden stake. Oh, vampires, yes the attacker was a 24-year-old, jose Perez. He pulled out a wooden stake which had a nail in it and told the guy he was going to stab him in the heart because he was a werewolf Nice.
Speaker 3I thought that was vampires. Same thing for werewolves? I don't know.
Speaker 4Werewolves.
Speaker 2I didn't watch Twilight that much.
Speaker 5You need a silver bullet for werewolves For a werewolf.
Speaker 1The guy got away and wasn't hurt. Jose stole his backpack and ran off. It's not clear why he stole it. He had the bag with him. When police caught up with him, they also found several rocks in his pocket. Yeah, that'll do it.
Speaker 3Like crack cocaine, right, if it is a werewolf.
Speaker 2yeah, I was going to say rocks.
Speaker 3Are they like crack cocaine or is it like actual fossils?
Speaker 1He said they were in there in case his werewolf buddy tried to kill him. Maybe he's going to smoke crack and it's going to get him super serious.
Speaker 2Maybe that's how he found out he was a werewolf. He's messed up. He's facing charges for aggravated bat robbery, not the werewolf part.
Speaker 3So what is his past history with things?
Speaker 1Well, I'm going to guess this guy probably has some psychiatric issues.
Speaker 5Do you guys believe in werewolves?
Speaker 1No, no. Do you believe in werewolves? No, no, do you believe in werewolves?
Speaker 5No, I'm just asking you do.
Speaker 3You look skeptical, you look skeptical at us Anybody that keeps a cell phone in their safe believes in werewolves.
Werewolves, Tequila Turkeys & 911 Abusers
Speaker 5You've been drinking and I just wondered if one of you guys might believe in that shit.
Speaker 1Do you believe? Can I ask you?
Speaker 5Do you believe in a werewolf? No, what about Bigfoot?
Speaker 1You believe in.
Speaker 5Bigfoot? I don't know.
Speaker 3I have to tell Josh not to go naked in the woods ever.
Speaker 1You would say that you believe in werewolves if it wasn't for FOPO, nope. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes, I do.
Speaker 3Do you believe in?
Speaker 1angels? Yes, I do. Aliens yes, I do. Do you believe in angels? Yes, I do. Do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster? No, but you believe in Bigfoot.
Speaker 5No, I didn't say that. Maybe I said there's a lot of shows out there. Yeah, well, you're right.
Speaker 4Yeah, but I don't think so. I've seen a lot of porn.
Speaker 1But listen, how do you not think there's aliens? Have you seen one? There's a lot of fucking galaxies.
Speaker 3There's some weird shit.
Speaker 5There's gotta be something.
Speaker 3But it's probably just Kevin with his drone.
Speaker 5He is an alien.
Speaker 3He's just got his drone out there At night while I'm letting the dogs out and I'm like what?
Speaker 5the hell was that I had to ask you know?
Speaker 1No, I dig it, I dig it you know you're not a flat earther, are you? No, Thank God You're not Fuck no.
Speaker 5I just said it out loud See what you do, are you Fuck?
Speaker 3no, there's plenty of flat earthers all over the globe. Wait a minute. He doesn't believe anything that you can't prove scientifically.
Speaker 5Do you believe anything?
Speaker 1Well, yeah, I believe all kinds of shit. But, anything out of the ordinary. You know what? Look at her you don't believe in ghosts. No, here's the funny part. Kim has given me shit for only believing in shit that's scientifically proved. That's called fucking science, science, that's like the whole point I don't know.
Speaker 5There's one thing that you don't believe in. I don't believe in ghosts.
Speaker 1All right, let me go through them real quick. I don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe in angels. I don't believe in angels. I do not believe there's a Bigfoot. If there was a Bigfoot, they would have found one skeleton by now, unless their bones just magically disappear into dust.
Speaker 3the moment they die.
Speaker 1I mean, honestly, we found T-Rex skeletons. We can't find one fucking Bigfoot. You know what I mean? I don't believe in loch ness. I don't believe. I. I believe that there could be aliens. Just because we're human beings, we don't even use a legitimate part of our brain.
Speaker 1That's the and I made the joke about the idiot right that's the wild part is there's people that are born with what we call medical differences in their brain and they're geniuses. The whole point of rain man, like right, there was something in that brain that just allowed that to happen. And so for me to sit here as a person that you know I can't move objects and shit with my brain. What's for?
Speaker 2and the wild part is I love these. You know why you can't find a Bigfoot body? Because their family buries it.
Speaker 1Gotcha. So the T-Rex families. Yes, he buried it.
Speaker 2Actually they burn them. Oh see, Even better, Like a Viking.
Speaker 1They also have a hog farm? Yeah, but how hot do you got to get the fire to burn the bone? Pretty damn hot.
Speaker 2I don't know. Oh man, this got off track. It got way off track.
Speaker 5Well, do you believe in a higher spirit, a higher being? Do you believe in God? We don't talk about religion.
Speaker 3We don't talk about religion on this show.
Speaker 1In the quote. On quote version I see it. No, I don't. But I don't believe that. I believe that we are. I don't.
Speaker 2No, no, no no.
Speaker 1Next question no, no, it's one of those things like our energies are pulled into things and our matter doesn't. Just because that we cease being a human being doesn't mean that our energy isn't involved.
Speaker 2Man, what the fuck are we talking about? That's a campfire topic right there.
Speaker 1No, man, that's how people get arguments and shit right.
Speaker 5No, I'm not arguing, I just wondered. No, no.
Speaker 1So you believe you're going to heaven?
Speaker 2I didn't say that.
Speaker 5Me and Kimmy. We're on the fence.
Speaker 2Not if I want to see my friends.
Speaker 3That's why I'm conditioning myself Outside in Indiana.
Speaker 2What is our next topic?
Speaker 4Hold on. How many funerals have y'all been to? A bunch, 100% of the funerals. They say they're up in heaven looking down on us.
Speaker 1Well, that's because it's typically a religious experience. 100% yeah, because it's a religion. I'm sure there's been some that are like this guy is not in heaven, he's down in hell looking up.
Speaker 2Right this guy, think about it For looking up, right this guy.
Speaker 5Think about it For the record I believe in heaven, I believe in God, I believe in Jesus.
Speaker 1Can I ask you like here's a question, I've got two things Topics. Oh no, I'm dead serious on these.
Speaker 2Go, oh man, bring it, bring it why why are there prayer chains, canes, if god is all-knowing?
Speaker 1and he knows you're in despair or he or she or whatever, because he knows humans are idiots. Why do I have to have people ask for it? Fear of public opinion? Okay, so it has nothing to do with religion. The second one I have, and this is a legit one, and I and I've asked this to people I asked a deacon in a church and he's like I'm not even sure. All right, hear me out on this. You and Kim are married at a very young age. Let's say you're married at 18, okay, and you guys live together and you love each other and everything's phenomenal. And you get hit by a bus at 30, okay. She's single now at 30. Ten years from now, she meets another guy amazing, great tour. They get married again. Okay, now your ass is sitting in heaven waiting on my ass all right now.
Speaker 3What happens me and new dude getting a car?
Speaker 5wreck, and then now we're coming up there holding hands up to you I. I don't think it works like that.
Speaker 1Of course it doesn't. It don't work like that. So my question is if she gets to heaven and she's like ah, jeremy, you're awesome, but that's not, you're not doing that, it's not you it's me what are you doing in heaven?
Speaker 5Because you're your own person. God created women so man would have a companion right, Someone to love someone, to do all that stuff. So it's not even about that.
Speaker 1I'm telling you right now, jeremy, there's a lot of people that, jeremy already moved on in heaven.
Speaker 3What are you talking?
Speaker 1about. There are a lot of people that they expect.
Speaker 5I just hope I make it.
Speaker 3He and I are serial marriers, so I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Speaker 5Regardless of what you believe.
Speaker 1There's a lot of truth in that. What do you guys got like half a dozen between the two of us Shut up.
Speaker 5Regardless of what you guys believe. I hope I see all of you there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1Well, but why would you?
Speaker 5Because, if it's solo, my point is You're not going up there to have sex. I'm not saying that. Go on to another one. You think you're going to live in a house in heaven.
Speaker 1I don't know. If I want to go to heaven, then you fuckers are there.
Speaker 2I didn't realize, you don't get to have sex in heaven? I don't know.
Speaker 1Next question oh man, this is bonfire shit right here.
Speaker 2This is bonfire topic.
Speaker 1Let's move on.
Speaker 2What's your next one?
Speaker 1So uncomfortable. Why are you uncomfortable fool? Because she's they're married to you.
Speaker 5No, yeah, right they're divorced.
Speaker 1She's got a bunch of dudes in heaven waiting on her. She don't know what she's got to do.
Speaker 5Kimmy's got a bunch of dudes up there going. Let's go.
Speaker 2I'm telling you, shit's going to get crazy up here.
Speaker 1It's going to be like a Springer episode. They're up there because they married her.
Speaker 5Dalton's going to be the one that flies around as a ghost and haunts people.
Speaker 2Oh I would. If I was a ghost, I'd chase you upstairs trying to grab your booty.
Speaker 5He's going to be like a polder Everybody.
Speaker 3Everybody that's remote.
Speaker 2I'm like who grabbed?
Speaker 1my butt. That was me. I'm a ghost. I'd be a fun ghost, I would be.
Speaker 3I'm hiding your remote.
Speaker 5You guys would be dirty ghosts, absolutely.
Speaker 1Boobies. Oh man, all right, are we ready to keep? Moving, please, yes, let's go Speaking of heaven, though, that was just me, ponder says but people need something to believe in or something to give them hope.
Speaker 1So, to be honest, you can't judge. Oh, I'm not judging, and that's the truth. People are free to believe what they want to believe, and I'm just simply saying that I'm not convinced that Human beings have the mind capacity to truly understand what happens in afterlife. We don't know, we really truly don't know, nope, and. And so maybe there is a quote-unquote heaven version, but I just I get the feeling, man, that ain't you seen the movies?
Speaker 5what if we're living in? Our own hell, hey, ponder, as long as you live a good life, I've seen 12 Monkeys and it just keeps going back and back.
Speaker 1Let me clear this up. All right, Let me clear this up.
Speaker 5Listen, everybody on the show can believe whatever you want. I was just rising Dalton up because I know where he comes from and I know what he believes. Up because I know where he comes from and I know what he believes. I'm scientific, I know.
Speaker 1I wasn't raised in church on Sundays.
Speaker 5It makes for good topics, you know. But no one's mad. Oh no, I'm not mad Don't be mad and listen. All you listeners out there. Don't be mad, because I was just. I was wanting to see what he had to say.
Speaker 1I promise you this when we get to heaven, if there is a heaven, and I look at you, I'm going to be like you got me. Bro Ponder says believe in, regardless of your opinion or beliefs, what becomes endless loop of right, wrong, good, bad. Who's truly entitled to be the judge? Amen. You know that, and that's the wildest part, is just be a good human regardless.
Speaker 3Well, that's just yeah, amen.
Speaker 1Amen, all right, let's put what we got.
Speaker 2Thank you, what's another Florida? Give me a.
Speaker 1Florida person? No, we're not. We haven't even started with Florida yet. No, this is the longest show ever. Love it. Here's a new recipe. It came out of Wisconsin. We go from God to Wisconsin.
Speaker 2Turkey recipes.
Speaker 1Turkey. A tequila-soaked turkey almost burned down an apartment building in Madison Wisconsin. Oh yeah, how old were these kids? This was a lady. She had marinated a whole turkey in tequila. That sounds fucking horrible.
Speaker 2That sounds like Amber.
Speaker 1Apparently it is a recipe you can find online. It had only been in the oven for eight minutes when they called 911 when the oven door blew open. Firefighters showed up and used a thermal camera to check the oven, then opened the door and blue flame shot out of it.
Speaker 3She had like 151?. Yeah, tequila, my God Tequila, she was using.
Speaker 1She said there was so, or they said there was so much booze in the bird that the vapors accumulated in the oven. They think they just weren't venting them enough and they became explosive when exposed to oxygen. Holy cow, they ended up removing the entire oven from the person's apartment, Thankfully it didn't start a big fire.
Speaker 2You don't get to cook no more, oh my.
Speaker 1God, you're done. Why would you even think that would be? I like tequila.
Speaker 3Was it for a work cookout too?
Speaker 1Could you love them too, though? Work cookouts I don't mind working. No, you don't like work. Pitch-ins, Pitch-ins. It's not that I don't like pitch-ins. Why is everybody picking on me tonight?

Speaker 3Why are we talking about the shit that I said? We do not talk about those things.
Speaker 2Anyway, yeah, that guy's going away for a little bit. You want to get Kim really going.
Speaker 1Ask her if she believes Trump, really believes in God or not. Oh, my. God, I'm kidding, I'm just trying to combine the two.
Speaker 3I don't like talking about politics and I don't like talking about religion.
Speaker 2What's your next one?
Speaker 1This is the greatest show ever. All right, you guys ready to jump into some Florida stories? Absolutely.
Speaker 2All right A 72-year-old man.
Speaker 1Oh my God, this is great. I can't wait to see the AI image tonight.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1Religion and God and Trump and.
Speaker 2Tequila, turkeys.
Speaker 3Tequila, turkeys, tequila, turkeys, lime and boom booms.
Speaker 5It's really great. What?
Speaker 2What did you say?
Speaker 5It's really great. It's really great. It's going to be the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 1Oh that's the worst Trump impression. Anyway, a 72-year-old man in Florida named Samuel Thomas was arrested after calling 911 on his neighbors. Now that's odd, right you?
Speaker 4would think yeah, why would you know?
Speaker 3if you call the regular number.
Speaker 1he claimed someone was shooting an AR-15 rifle in the roadway, but when the cops showed up they only saw a family barbecue happening at the residence with small children at play. Several other neighbors reported that no shooting had taken place. Now, this wasn't Samuel's first time calling 911. I bet it wasn't. I bet it wasn't. No, if you had to guess how many times this year alone that Samuel has called 911, what would your guess be? 67.
Speaker 323.
Speaker 1Not even fucking close. 3,400 calls this year.
Speaker 2Holy shit, how is he not in jail?
Speaker 3Yeah, you get fined for that stuff 16,000 calls within five years. His face looks like he's like bitch not on my watch.
Speaker 1He probably called 911 on whoever took that picture.
Speaker 5Tiger Woods dead. That's Tiger Woods dead.
Speaker 1It's unclear what he's complaining about, but 647 calls this year. 647 were only targeted towards the neighbors. Nice, it's June. What are we halfway through the year? Halfway through the year, this guy calls that would be shit. That's like two or three times a day. He's calling 911 over his neighbors, just his neighbors. He's accused them of narcotic sales, firearms usage, disorderly contact and suspicious activity. It's unclear why police haven't cut him off from calling.
Speaker 3If that's possible, I would love to know that I see some of this kind of stuff on tiktok, but I mean you're in jail, you get arrested for that shit. Well, that's what I was going to say. I saw this couple that they actually screen it and put it on TikTok that their neighbor is constantly calling and calling and calling.
Speaker 5I say you invite the neighbors on the show and they said that the last time she was saying that they have an uncontained fire.
Speaker 2Oh, and it's fire pit.
Speaker 3And they were just grilling out. No, they were grilling out and the cops ended up being like. You have a citation now.
Speaker 1Samian was arrested for stalking and filing a false report. He was also charged with resisting arrest for tussling with the officers when they tried to handcuff him. Police say there is no evidence of any mental health issues. He's just a 911 abuser. Absolutely 16,000 calls to 911.
Speaker 2Hey.
Speaker 1Wow, he's calling again.
Speaker 2It's your turn.
Speaker 1Now the interesting part the guy that calls which. This sounds like a guy that would be the last person that would want to deal with police. His rap sheet includes multiple battery convictions dui pot possession, disorderly intoxication, passing bad checks, violating proposed probation rather and failure to return rented merchandise. So this guy is a true winner rapers rentone got him oh, have you ever had a shitty neighbor?
Speaker 2no, not really. Not that shitty Calling the cops on me all the time, no there were times that I probably should have, but no.
Speaker 1That's wild. Alright. Here's another story out of Florida. A 44-year-old man is facing charges. This is hilarious. Cops say he broke into a vacant home because and the reason? He didn't want to go home he'd gotten to an argument with his wife. He broke into somebody else's house to sleep. I'm just tired. Police in davenport got a call on june 9th from a homeowner's neighbor who was watching the house while they were away. The the neighbor said they saw lights turn on and off inside. So the cops showed up to check it out and found the guy making dinner.
Speaker 1He had just finished filling up the tub for a nice warm bath. There you go, why wouldn't?
Speaker 2you.
Speaker 1This guy had turned the house into an Airbnb. Absolutely Legend. What are you?
Speaker 2doing here he?
Speaker 1is a legend. He admitted. I love it gets better. He admitted he didn't have permission to be there and didn't know the owners. He just didn't want to go home because he said he and his wife had been in a big fight and he had been there for four days.
Speaker 3Holy shit, four days hey. That's a large fight, you know how you know she didn't love him that much. There was not a missing person.
Speaker 1Oh no. Later he's like this is the best peace I've had in forever.
Speaker 5Best Airbnb ever. What do you think the fight's over it?
Speaker 1doesn't even matter.
Speaker 5Four days though.
Speaker 1Four days.
Speaker 2He was probably just happy to have quiet and peace, he was probably the cause of it. Make his own meal, make his own meal.
Speaker 3Got his bathtub ready. God, he's just not. I do want to know what the fight was about, though I do too yeah. I bet he was at fault.
Speaker 1Let's get the wife on. Of course he was.
Speaker 3If she was at fault, she would. She would have called in a missing persons report.
Speaker 1Oh, no, he's facing multiple charges, including a felony charge for unarmed burglary.
Speaker 2Well, I'd hope so. What are you?
Speaker 1stealing Food, jammies, food, bath water.
Speaker 3Peace and quiet that effervescent bath bubbles.
Speaker 1Oh, goldilocks gets to do it or her Throwing out marketing terms and shit for bubble bath. Right yeah, and tonight sponsored by I would bring up more shit, but I am out of beer, so we're going to fly through these next.
Speaker 2Nope, you got some here. Oh, is that man Right there? There we go.
Speaker 3There are shots. Nope, bring the bag out man, I'm kidding, bring the bag out. I really don't want to.
Speaker 2It's time for another shot. I'm still burning from the last one, because I ain't got no chaser.
Speaker 1All right, here's our last story. It comes from Flagler County in Florida. A woman was arrested after she drove her car on a multi-use path which basically means bike path here in Richmond. Oops, richmond, indiana. Population 28,000. Bike path that you could land a jet engine.
Speaker 2Nicest bike path in the US, but by God you can't turn a car onto those roadways. Well, no, the bike path is in the US.
Speaker 3Roadway is smaller than the bike path. Anyway, I'm done with that combo.
Speaker 1Well, in fairness, Richmond is known for the number of bikers we have.
Speaker 2Yes, a lot of bikers, a lot of bike paths. I heard it was in the top ten bikers in the US.
Speaker 1I've spent time in Amsterdam. I promise you they have a few more bikes than we do A couple.
Speaker 2A couple, not many yeah.
Speaker 1You know the difference between Amsterdam and the United States, hookers, yeah.
Speaker 3Drugs.
Speaker 1That's true, absinthe. That's true, they have a. There is a red light district, yeah, but you also know there is a blue light district.
Speaker 2Oh, what's that yeah?
Speaker 3Those are gentlemen, that's when you don't get it, and so you have blue lights. That's for the kids.
Speaker 1Those are the people that you see on Fox News competing in women's sports. I was going to say are they like saving money, like at Kmart. These people are beautiful too. They're all beautiful.
Speaker 5Fox News is real, cnn's fake.
Speaker 2Oh shit, here we go, cut him off.
Speaker 3Check that mic off.
Speaker 1What if they both suck?
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 1Hey, he did say I've never worked at CNN. I had a story on CNN once.
Speaker 5You know what I can't believe you're not going to talk about tonight. What's that? Is that the president said, fuck, honestly, I don't, and I thought it was absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 2I think everybody heard that.
Speaker 3I don't watch the news. I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1Like seven years ago I heard him say pussy, yeah, so I thought, it was great.
Speaker 5That word didn't bother you so much.
Speaker 1I heard that he cusses a lot behind the scenes he plays golf. But he's also the first president that's never drank a drop of alcohol. He doesn't drink. You didn't know that? Nope, only president to never drink.
Speaker 2If I was president, I'd drink every fucking night. Talk about fucking idiots.
Speaker 1I will say this I agree with the president 100% on that whole deal. Those two countries just like fighting they do.
Speaker 2They don't even know what the fuck they're fighting about.
Speaker 1I think guys slipped out. That's the thing that he doesn't understand. I actually agree with the president on a number of topics. I just thought it was funny. No, I know, but you think I'm like the big polar Trump hater over here you are. No, I'm not. It's just when he does something stupid.
Speaker 5I'm going to call him out on it. You are a polar Trump hater.
Speaker 2What's our last story?
Speaker 3Flagler Beach, florida, flagler County.
Speaker 2Flagler County.
Speaker 3I bet Flagler Beach is in Flagler County. Ohler County. I bet Flagler Beach is in Flagler County. Oh my God.
Speaker 1We'll see how the ratings go for this show.
Speaker 2Maybe our listens will drop. It's going to be huge.
Speaker 3Bush Light Lime. Yes, for all of your deliciousness, oh man.
Speaker 1A 911 call said that a woman, 65-year-old Julia Kaltoff. Said that a woman, 65-year-old Julia Kaltoff, was chasing a teenager on an e-bike on the Pine Lake path used for bicycles and pedestrians.
Speaker 2The 911 caller said they had cut.
Speaker 1Julia off in order to prevent her from continuing to chase the teenager. Holy shit, I think the teenager was like 14, too. It's like not even an old kid.
Speaker 3So what was she chasing him for?
Speaker 1Well, it gets there, you go. It's like not even an old kid. So what was she chasing him for? Well, it gets there you go.
Speaker 2That's where it gets sticky, it's in White's Florida.
Speaker 1Deputies responded to the scene, where the caller said that he had noticed the teenager attempting to flag down passing motorists at. Her car was six to ten feet behind him, according to a news release. Look, there's her chasing him down the bike path right there.
Speaker 2That's hilarious.
Speaker 1Oh my God, look there's where she got cut off by. She's still chasing, and your little dog too. The teenager's parents found out about the incident the next day and reported it to law enforcement. The lady told the deputies that she had chased the teenager because she was not happy with the teenager for riding his bike too fast and wanted to speak to the victim's parents.
Speaker 3She was driving an e-bike.
Speaker 1No he was.
Speaker 2She was driving a car. She was in a car chasing him.
Speaker 1Gotcha, yeah, the victims told her that. The victim told deputies that she had screamed at him, cut him off, nearly struck him, and they arrested her on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. With intent to kill and reckless driving she received a uniform traffic citation for driving on the multi-use path.
Speaker 3Now I can see it. I did not see it before.
Speaker 1I've actually seen people driving vehicles on our bike paths. On accident yeah not on purpose, not chasing somebody down or anything. If it was enrichment, it'd probably be a drug deal gone bad Maybe, and they would be.
Speaker 3Maybe a street sweeper involved, you never know, or a swatting, swatting, swatting.
Speaker 1Those things are happening everywhere. By the way, she was taken and she was later released on a $3,000 bond, jesus.
Speaker 2Get out of here, yeah so there you go, alright.

It is by far the most important thing we say on these broadcasts and it's simply this World's tough and we're in here trying to have a good time and we hope you had a good time too. But, uh, a lot of things are going on in the world, um, people that are fighting faux pas, and I mean this sincerely. A lot of people feel like they're on their own. They're, they're alone in this world and you're not. We're.
Speaker 1A lot of people are supporting you behind your back the whole time and, uh, but if you see someone in your life that you feel like they're struggling, maybe they're going through something, maybe you know whatever it is, do me a favor. Just reach out to them, ask them how they're doing, ask them how they've been. Just let them know you care about them, let them know you appreciate them. You'd be surprised how something so small might be the thing that helps them get up tomorrow morning and just keep going. So make sure you do that.
