#183 After 2 Beers: Eavesdropping, Eel Emergencies, and the Exploding Ice Cream Truck

The second you hear that first crack of a beer can, you know it’s time to dive into the weird, wild, and downright uncomfortable corners of humanity with After 2 Beers.

In this episode, we’re asking the question: When should you speak up—and when should you just mind your own damn business?

First, we break down a wild airline story where one nosy passenger thought they saw a death threat in a stranger’s text… and got the entire flight diverted. Spoiler: it wasn’t that deep. Then, we flip the script with a hospital situation where staff stumbled on a patient’s dark secret after he left his phone behind. And just when you think you’ve heard it all, we serve up an ice cream truck story involving a confused vigilante and a very misunderstood Apple Pay transaction.

Of course, it wouldn’t be After 2 Beers without detours. We discuss how the average dog owner makes 27 decisions a month based entirely on their pet’s needs. If you’ve ever canceled plans for your dog—or fed them better than yourself—you’re not alone.

Then local fireworks expert Jeremy drops in with a hot take on how international tariffs are lighting a fuse under the industry. He even gives us the inside scoop on a recent pyrotechnic mishap that had the whole town buzzing.

We close the show with two squirm-worthy medical stories: one from China that involves an eel (where no eel should ever be), and another from Florida that takes “contraband” to a whole new level.

Funny, fast-paced, and totally unfiltered—this episode is a wild ride from start to finish. Whether you’re a longtime fan or cracking open your first cold one with us, buckle up. It’s going to get weird.

So this is lemon, I just want to know whether I'm really supposed to shake it or if that's just going to be like.

Speaker 1 5:49

Boy. If Dr Fauci was watching boy he'd be pissy right now, the way we're sharing these drinks back and forth.

Speaker 2 6:51

It's okay, it's got alcohol in it. It's going to kill the germs, especially if they'd seen your big sneeze earlier.

Speaker 1 6:56

Oh yeah, yeah, I had the booster.

Speaker 2 6:58

I'm fine. My blood hasn't solidified yet, like some people think it might.

Speaker 3 7:04

It's pretty good, you know, it's so funny.

Speaker 1 7:06

People are like oh man, you had the booster, you're going to die soon. I'm like well, I hope that's not true, because then our entire military is dead too. They're gone, yeah, and all the congressmen apparently. They didn't get nothing. Yeah, they got the good shit.

Speaker 2 7:23

Oh, the peach is nice.

Speaker 1 7:24

Yeah, the blueberry is the best.

Speaker 2 7:25

Blueberry and the peach are my faves, not so much on the lemon though. Nah, I'm not going to lie, it's all right, yeah. So anyway, it's kind of like a yeah, these bubbly cocktails.

Speaker 1 7:35

They are becoming more and more popular. Wow, these are gluten-free. They do have real fruit in them, so I don't know I was gonna make a joke about you know you're a glutton for gluten. You're fine no, there you go good stuff, uh, thanks again bottle shop here in richmond. Uh, lots of things, uh, that you can select from there. Yeah, all right, let's go ahead and jump into it. What we got.

Speaker 3 7:58

I've got to figure out a way to speed this, uh, this intro up a little bit.

Speaker 1 8:02

Anyway, this is the most. I haven't been this excited for a video on social media since I watched all those white folk get beat up on the boat, I love that one. Oh my god, that was a great week. He just tosses his hat. I was watching that dude swim across the water. He clearly wasn't a very good swimmer but he was down, he was on for it. Oh, great one. So the new one going around. I'm not sure if you've seen it yet or not. I made sure Puddin' seen it.

Speaker 3 8:34

Thanks for the heads up. Well, I don't know if I sent it to the whole group or just to Puddin' it's of the golfer.

Speaker 1 8:41

Oh yeah, I'd seen it before you sent it to me. Oh my God, have you seen the one it's apparently slow play? The foursome that was in front of the group going pretty slow. One of them was pretty intoxicated, it appeared.

Speaker 2 8:53

What Golfing, golfing yeah, that's right. People don't do that, golfing, no they sounded Canadian.

Speaker 1 8:58

Yeah, eh, he, shit, yeah. And it's like on the Chappelle show they used to, when keeping it real goes wrong.

Speaker 2 9:06

That's what it was Jeremy, have you seen this.

Speaker 3 9:09

It's absolutely hilarious. Oh my God.

Speaker 2 9:11

I haven't seen it oh.

Speaker 1 9:13

I'm sure you shook and find it. Pull it up. Basically, this guy has had a few too many. He's probably a hard ass when he's around most folks. Yeah, he's talking shit. Yeah, and a guy is calling him on it and the guy's like I don't want to fuck with you, but I will fuck with you. Right and the guy turns out to be a former NHL player. Yeah, that was an enforcer.

Speaker 2 9:35

Yeah.

Speaker 1 9:35

His whole job in life was to beat people up legally.

Speaker 2 9:38

Knock their teeth out, yeah.

Speaker 1 9:39

So the guy comes at him and uh did he throw his? Well, he tossed him in the water first. He tried to. Is it called their?

Speaker 2 9:46

sweater, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 9:48

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but my favorite part of it, the whole video is uh, if you haven't seen this, make sure you go watch it.

Speaker 2 9:54

Um as he's going to watch it as he's punching him.

Speaker 1 10:00

It's like a.

Speaker 2 10:01

Did you just say pal.

Speaker 1 10:02

Oh, here you go. He lets him have it. That's the best part. He throws him in the water first. Yeah so there's the guy right there. That's the drunk guy. He's talking shit, he's peacocking right there.

Speaker 2 10:12

He's caca, so is he in the slow group? Yeah, he's the one taking forever.

Speaker 1 10:25

Yeah, so then that's the NHL player giving him at this point no punching now. Can you guys hear the audio in that room now? So here's why you want to make sure you go back and watch it now. This guy, that right here, that's it.

Speaker 2 10:31

That's how, every time he hits him, he goes bang the guy getting hit says no, the guy's throwing the punches. He grabs him by the shirt bang bang bang, shoves him down have you had enough. No, he gets back up, he comes back after him again. Yeah, sometimes you just gotta know when to stay down tosses him like a rag doll that one must have hurt, because that's when he decides to give it up you know what I just got tossed 10 feet but, the reason I bring it up too, and I think it was Puddin and I that were chatting about this.

Speaker 1 11:06

Um, here's the. The thing like this shit happens in real life. People get cocked strong real all of a sudden, and you don't know who the fuck. You're fighting with a little liquid courage. Yeah, yeah man. I know a lot of people in my life that you get a little alcohol and they come eight foot tall and invincible.

Speaker 2 11:20

You know what I mean. Well, I saw like a video and you know it's on the interwebs so I'm not sure how true it was where a guy kept putting his foot up on the guy's, like it's on an airplane.

Speaker 3 11:31

Yeah.

Speaker 2 11:31

Kept putting his foot up there and the guy stood up and he's like every bit of like seven foot and the guy goes oh nope, I'm good, I'm going to move my foot.

Speaker 3 11:40

I'm going to move my foot Because he's like dude.

Speaker 2 11:42

I'm telling you this is my last time that I'm going to ask you to move your damn foot.

Speaker 1 11:47

There are too many people in this world that carry guns for you to be talking shit. Yeah, we good right now. We don't need none of that. Oh my God, when you get a chance, make sure you watch this video.

Speaker 3 11:57

Look at him right there, he just thinks he's badass.

Speaker 1 12:00

What is it about golf courses? Nowadays, too, you're always sitting and starting to see more and more videos of guys on golf courses, just losing their shit.

Speaker 2 12:07

I've been to a lot of golf courses and I've never seen a fight happen on a golf course.

Speaker 1 12:11

This is probably a public course.

Speaker 2 12:13

Normally I just see people fighting their own clubs, right, I see them fighting their own clubs.

Speaker 1 12:21

Now this guy and see here, I give this dude respect, he didn't punch that dude dude, he just pushed him away. And then Bang, bang, bang you can definitely tell that was NHL the way he's grabbing him by the shirt. Those are the best hits he had all day, I promise.

Speaker 2 12:35

I would have loved it Even more if he had, like, pulled his shirt Over his head.

Speaker 3 12:38

Someone go pick up Ponder.

Speaker 2 12:44

Shooky said it.

Speaker 1 12:45

There's a lot of truth there all right now. Uh, I mentioned, uh those videos. The other ones, do you guys? Uh, it was so funny because, as we were coming in, jeremy was talking about videos that he had seen of gentlemen that were in the antarctic, uh, that apparently there's a succubus, some sort of hole, that um crater hole.

Speaker 3 13:07

This is the video. This is what happens when you search for random shit like flat earth is true, or moon booms, moon booms, yeah, just random shit.

Speaker 1 13:17

so I I I'm not gonna lie I've fallen into two that I have really fallen in love with, and now they just keep populating, and every time I see them I watch more and more. The first is I love watching a Karen get called out on a fucking video.

Speaker 2 13:32

Oh, it don't matter what. The neighbor.

Speaker 1 13:35

Karens are my favorite when it's like get out of my yard, Get out of my yard. There's the one of the guy that was. They were in a car and the guy was in the front and he tried to get out to bitch At the guy behind him, but he didn't put it in park man. I love watching Karma immediately With Karens. I absolutely love it. The other one I'm really falling in love with Right now are people that feel entitled and the police let them know real quick that they are not entitled.

Speaker 2 14:06

Everyone.

Speaker 1 14:07

You learn that real quick when they put them little bracelets on you. I saw a lady today. She blew through a police stop because of an accident they had to shut the road down, but she was late to pick her kid up from school, so she just blew right through it and was pissed off when she got arrested and she's like well, I had to pick my daughter up, she's waiting on me up the street, and just blew right through it.

Speaker 2 14:37

I love it and they're being unsafe about it but that's the whole sense of entitlement.

Speaker 1 14:42

You are the most important person in the world. The world, the world revolves around you and you and only you.

Speaker 2 14:48

I'm glad you guys are seeing this. I know people like that. That's what I'm telling you. They're everywhere man, they are everywhere Same people that blow through School bus stops.

Speaker 1 15:00

That pisses me off.

Speaker 2 15:01

That pisses me off.

Speaker 1 15:03

Do you know that?

Speaker 2 15:04

any kind of four-way stop pisses me off especially in this town. Like people are like, oh, roundabouts are going to be terrible. I'm like no, it's not, I don't think so because at four-way stops nobody knows what the hell to do, I usually just go anyways.

Speaker 1 15:18

Yeah yeah, we're dumb. That's why I say we'll never have flying cars. These people can't drive. I don't want them above my house in a vehicle that may drop something on my house. Stay away from me that's the dumbest idea ever given these people. Can you imagine living in Ohio? I guarantee dropping out of the sky every 45 seconds.

Speaker 2 15:37

The technology is there. They're just like. These people are not smart enough. They're not capable.

Speaker 1 15:42

There are certain things we don't need access to.

Speaker 2 15:44

One of which is flying vehicles.

Speaker 1 15:46

I have a niece that I wouldn't want her to fly from one side of the street to the other. I'm telling you it's just not good. Alright, now here, which?

Speaker 3 15:55

one.

Speaker 1 15:56

It's not important.

Speaker 2 15:57

J or K, she knows who she is.

When People Get Too Nosy

Speaker 1 15:59

Alright, let's jump into the after two beers part. She knows who she is. All right, let's jump into the after two beers part. This is the discussions that we get into, and I'm going to leave this one open to both discussions, by anybody watching you as well, everybody back there. The question is are people too nosy today? Nosy today, and it's interesting because, as the public, we are constantly told now, if anything looks odd, just report it Right, and you always hear about it when it works out great, but it doesn't go great a lot Right.

Speaker 1 16:38

A lot of the time. Right, it's not right. So I've got three stories tonight specifically about this and I want to get everyone's reaction. One is going to show you that it was a positive Okay. Two is going to show you nah, people are fucking nosy.

Speaker 2 16:51

So we're two for one. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 16:52

Yeah, Now I've got somebody sitting in that room in there that I know very well, I think I can guess which one she loves to. She always assumes like shit's going strange, right, and I'm always like maybe shit ain't going strange. Now there is a proper balance right.

Speaker 2 17:13

There is a proper balance All right.

Speaker 1 17:15

Well, here's the beauty of these. These all actually happened within the last week. Oh nice, I can't even make this shit up. Sometimes these shows write themselves. Yeah, all right, here's our first one. An American Airlines flight was diverted back to San Juan, puerto Rico, after a passenger misinterpreted a text message they oversaw. Next to them, a passenger saw their seat neighbor receive a text message that read uh rip and assumed it was a threat to the flight. A spokesperson for the american airlines said the flight, which service was from san juan to dallas, fort worth, had to return back to san juan shortly after departure due to a possible security concern. The flight landed safely and law enforcement inspected and cleared the aircraft. To read apart, because it was just a text message that the person received, because they had a loved one that had passed away the day before and because somebody was a looky-loo sitting next to them on their phone looking at shit that was none of their business and saw RIP.

Speaker 1 18:25

And then you know they had to nonchalantly tell a flight attendant, without letting that person know, if they had said hey, is everything cool or whatever. Oh yeah, I had a family member pest and then everybody would have made it to Dallas on time. Right, or they'd be like what the fuck, are you looking at my phone for?

Speaker 2 18:44

Well, no, the truth of the matter is what if that made them actually late to the calling?

Speaker 1 18:49

Oh right, Well, they don't care. They don't care, it's all about them, oh my God. But it's so funny, like here in the city of Richmond and you're seeing this more and more everywhere, and it makes a lot of sense they have encrypted all of the radio calls from the local police, whereas in the past you know like my dad was that guy back in the 80s that had the scanner on the couch yeah.

Speaker 2 19:14

And he's like just sitting there, yeah, like cops before cops came around Right. Well, they've had it in a lot of these communities.

Speaker 1 19:23

They're going for a drunk driver right now, right people love to know this kind of shit and, um, it's just funny to me, we, we are a voyeuristic society and we love to know the shit that's going on. And, uh, this is a case of it.

Speaker 2 19:39

Somebody just happened to be overlooking overlooking but then sometimes I just really like to just mind my own damn business, because I'm not one involved.

Speaker 1 19:46

Well, you know what? Did you guys ever watch the show? I think it was ABC that did it, or maybe it was NBC it was. What Would you Do?

Speaker 2 19:55

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 19:55

Where they would present situations where someone was creating a ruckus of some sort, and they were trying to see what the average individual would do in said situation. And it's very interesting to me because this is exactly what this is, right. Right, this is an example of someone that, if this had been an issue, they'd have looked like a hero Right, right, yeah. Well, now you look like an ass, thanks, Right, it's amazing. Oh my God, yeah, now you look like an ass, right?

Speaker 2 20:25

It's amazing, oh my god. But thank you, I guess.

Speaker 1 20:27

Right, you are on a plane, and then if you're the flight attendant and the pilot and everything you have to turn around now you have to Because You're obligated. And now, and I just found out this week you don't have to have your shoes taken off at the airport.

Speaker 2 20:40

Not anymore. No, after you don't have to have your shoes taken off at the airport, not anymore.

Speaker 1 20:43

No, they decided to stop that. Yeah, after 20-some years.

Speaker 2 20:44

They got tired of stinky feet.

Speaker 1 20:46

Can't hear you, bro. Still nothing, nothing.

Speaker 2 20:50

I got nothing in my headphones. Can you hear me now?

Speaker 3 20:51

Yeah, yes, I remember that show you're talking about. It was the guy that wore a suit and they would put people in situations like a kid would get hit and and, like kimmy said, I just don't want to get involved and they just wouldn't. So you would either get involved or you didn't, and then they would everybody'd freak out and they'd brush in like oh right, you know right, talk to you about the situation, but I remember that, yeah, you didn't want to be on that show doing shitty shit like the chris hansen, if you

Speaker 1 21:18

saw. Yeah, nobody wants to be on that. Chris h, you never want to meet Chris Hansen on television. Hey, can you have a seat for me? Speaking of which, here is another one. 46-year-old Jesse Lawrence Hale was recently treated at a hospital in Logan, utah, for an undisclosed ailment. Now, after he was treated, he accidentally left his phone behind. Well, it turned out his phone had an interesting background picture. The hospital workers found it. They called the police. Turns out his phone was loaded with underage porn. They would have never known because his phone was locked, but this fucking idiot had one of his images as his wallpaper.

Speaker 3 22:06

So like looking at my phone.

Speaker 1 22:09

It's child porn, the first picture you turn it on. It's right there.

Speaker 3 22:13

Yeah, it is in the cover.

Speaker 1 22:14

But you're like, oh, I want to see your locks.

Speaker 2 22:16

I bet he was an idiot and it just was like the random pictures as your background or something. Kevin's not looking that one up guys.

Speaker 3 22:24

No, no, please don't. I'm sure they wouldn't show it anyway. He gets what he gets. Apparently, they saw it on his lock screen.

Speaker 1 22:30

They reported him last Thursday. He got arrested after he walked into a police station on Monday and asked about the phone. Hey man, where's my phone with all the child porn on it? Yeah, why don't you come back here?

Speaker 2 22:40

and have a talk with us.

Speaker 1 22:41

Yeah. He claimed someone sent him a photo and said he should have deleted it. He also said it would be nice to pay a fine or take a class instead of going to jail because he wouldn't survive in there.

Speaker 1 22:53

They don't do well Chomas. No, no, no, that's the one prison justice. I think we're all okay a little bit. They got a warrant to search his phone. They found 20 illegal photos on it and at that point he asked them to not tell. His mom, said he's got family in the area, didn't want them to find out again.

Speaker 2 23:14

His name is jesse lawrence hale 46 years old lives in what area utah?

Speaker 1 23:22

Utah. They booked him on suspicion of sexual exploitation of a minor. It adds a felony, and he left his phone. How the hell do you put it as your background saver, dude? That's what you so? There you go.

Speaker 2 23:35

There's an instance where someone saw it that it was actually good Right and it turned out as a positive. Yes.

Speaker 1 23:40

Right, except for him and his mamaw now, or his mom. He's got to, he's going to get grounded.

Speaker 2 23:45

He's definitely For sure. No, he's getting more than grounded.

Speaker 1 23:48

Oh man, he's going to have an interesting time in jail. It won't last long.

Speaker 2 23:52

They will blow out his O-ring.

Speaker 1 23:55

They're going to give him something good. I about shot makers through my nose. That was pretty good. Alright, here is our third scenario. This is my favorite of three. This is so classic. Oh my god, this is an ice cream truck driver in College Station. Texas Was in the middle of a busy day last Tuesday when a random guy attacked him. The attacker was a 42-year-old named Michael Valadez. Valadez, valadez, how do you say that, valadez?

Speaker 2 24:31

I can't even read that. There's two A's. Show me where I'm looking.

Speaker 1 24:34

Right here.

Speaker 2 24:37

Valadez, valadez, valadez. Yeah, all right that was pretty close.

Speaker 1 24:41

He told the cops he saw the driver acting suspiciously. That's always my favorite.

Speaker 2 24:46

Some of those are my favorite. Karen videos Was he stopping and talking to kids?

Speaker 1 24:49

He was suspicious he was, as a matter of fact.

Speaker 2 24:52

He was acting suspiciously.

Speaker 3 24:54

Here he is.

Speaker 1 24:56

This is the Avenger here. He saw him asking for their phones and punching numbers into it. That does sound a little weird maybe right, that's okay. He assumed the driver was some sort of perv, you know, the kind that leaves their phone at the hospital, yeah, so he punched him multiple times and threatened to shoot him and then took his phone. Turned out, though, the driver wasn't a perv at all. It's just 2025, and he accepts Apple Pay, so he was helping the kids, the kids weren't using their phones to give them numbers.

Speaker 1 25:29

They were using them to pay for their ice cream. Police determined he wasn't doing anything illegal or inappropriate. Now Mr Valadez is facing charges for robbery.

Speaker 2 25:41

Oh shit, yeah, he stole his phone. Yeah, he stole his phone Technically, yeah.

Speaker 1 25:44

And unlawful possession of a firearm. Now here's what. I love about this right, both this story here and the lady that well, we don't know that it was a lady, but it was probably a lady that was just On the airplane. On the airplane, it was probably her. Yeah, it was you.

Speaker 3 25:58

On the airplane. That was probably it.

Speaker 1 26:00

Yeah, it is, you know, let's be honest. But anyway, this is why I got called misogynistic one time on the show. What? Yeah, I got a whole hateful email about it. Anyway, this is an example of if this guy was a perv, then he's solid, it would have worked out, yeah. Right, yeah, but he wasn't, he was just getting paid, paying for my services there bud.

Speaker 3 26:24

It reminds me of the big worm. Big worm, the ice cream truck driver, my money he had some better goodies and it was a different type of deal, that's true.

Speaker 1 26:34

There's a lot of truth to that. Do you think people are too nosy?

Speaker 2 26:39

Sometimes, yes, I mean sometimes.

Speaker 1 26:44

But sometimes yes, but other times I'm like very thankful that they are. See, that's the thing. There's the line. What's the line? When do you think, alright, this is over the line when it involves me, right?

Speaker 3 26:53

when it's something that I do.

Speaker 1 26:56

Oh, that's right, leave me alone oh man, it's interesting to me because you know, like we said, there's a lot of crazy shit that goes down in the world and a lot of people are stopped from instances of doing bad shit because someone took the time to reach out and say, hey, we probably shouldn't ignore this?

Speaker 3 27:18

Yeah, we should have stood up, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 27:21

You got to use a little logic and then it works out for AJ and I If one of us is too far on one side, then the other one balances us out.

Speaker 2 27:30

I'll take it to the other way.

Speaker 1 27:32

Yeah, if you always think people are fucking around, don't hang out with other people that people think are always fucking around. You're only going to call the law. Have you ever called the police on anybody driving down the road? Oh, I'm going to go call the law, have you?

Speaker 2 27:43

ever called the police on anybody driving down the road.

Speaker 3 27:45

Oh, I've once. Yes, I have. Have you really? Yeah, I have.

Speaker 1 27:46

I've never done this Apparently For safety reasons?

Speaker 3 27:49

No, I've once For safety reasons, I've done it a couple times. This car was all over the place. One fell asleep while they were driving. They ran off the road and police oh, really, yeah, wow.

Speaker 1 28:01

Do you help them out and say man, I'm sorry, but you're going to jail.

Speaker 3 28:03

You kept driving it was some lady, she was cracked out or something, and it wasn't what if it was a medical issue? Yeah, no, it was bad.

Speaker 1 28:12

You don't know that it wasn't, and I'll give, I'll tell you this my father, um, he had an accident when I was a kid and they were convinced one hundo, that he was drunk, he was a DUI and it was blood sugar. I mean, he never drank and it was just his blood sugar had dropped. And same kind of situation.

Speaker 3 28:33

Yeah.

Speaker 1 28:33

And then it was funny because I remember my dad said once you know he was, they come up to him and they kept asking him how much he had had to drink. Yeah, and and so, but it again it's we all jump to conclusions on certain things and yeah, you know poor why didn't you stop?

Speaker 2 28:50

thing is that I'm like if that were to happen to me, what if my blood sugar was low?

Speaker 3 28:54

it wasn't nothing like that oh it was just I've been following her and I was on the phone with the police and she was like I don't know. It just looked like it was drug use because she was just kind of like woozy and hit her head. She was bouncing back and forth.

Speaker 2 29:10

Well, that's also blood sugar.

Speaker 1 29:13

But when she hit the wall you're like fuck, she's good she didn't hit the wall, she hit a ditch.

Speaker 3 29:17

I mean, it wasn't like You're like it's on her now.

Speaker 2 29:19

But you know what? At least you called, because there's some people that would just be like.

Speaker 3 29:24

They passed.

Speaker 2 29:24

Watch this happen yeah.

Speaker 3 29:25

So it wasn't like a big deal.

Speaker 1 29:27

Yeah, yeah, yeah, she'll be fine, I wasn't being nosy.

Speaker 3 29:31

Hey, talk about being nosy.

Speaker 2 29:33

Yeah.

Racing Grandma and Grandson Disaster

Speaker 3 29:33

Every year during firework season? Yeah, I want to bring that up actually Many, many, many, many, many people that are nosy coming out trying to see what we're doing, like it's so dangerous, like stay back, you need to go away their kids come running up, we got wires everywhere, we got gasoline bombs, uh, explosives I mean at any given point yeah somebody could blow up that they really want to see, yeah, and then they want to sit on top of you, like Like it's just like I want to actually you cannot.

Speaker 1 30:03

I'm glad you're on the show, jeremy, for a million reasons, and I mean this since I love this guy and he also isn't afraid to talk about shit like you two can be sometimes.

Speaker 3 30:12

So I enjoy that.

Speaker 1 30:13

Now Jeremy is here. Locally it's somewhat of a legend. He's the goat of fireworks, of explosives, right, been doing shows around the community now for almost two decades. Yeah, I mean, if you think about it, man, I'm old yeah, you are old and um, this weekend, or less past weekend, you hosted the fireworks here locally at, uh, richmond and um. You had an issue that you and I chatted about offline with the finale, yeah, um. But then you also had an issue, uh, with a fire that broke out at the end of the first half.

Speaker 3 30:48

Yeah, we had a fire, a dumpster fire and a finale chain issue.

Speaker 1 30:51

So yeah, so I mean, it's, it's life. Yeah, things happen. Now here's the wild part for me. We were watching it at a group of people's house and I've seen enough of your shows. I'm like, well, that finale, something went wrong. I could, you could just tell right but the wild part is it goes back into the nosiness thing, right? It's all about how people love to just chat about shit they don't know nothing about and just love to bitch and moan people just love to piss and moan man oh yeah and you had a lot of people like, as soon as the show was over, they would create headlines in public forums that just said what do you guys think of the finale?

Speaker 2 31:29

Yeah, and then they were fireworks. Yeah, and my favorite were the dummies that were like oh, that's what our tax money went to. That's not tax money, you dumbass. That's the other the donation fund.

Speaker 3 31:42

It's absolutely crazy. It's all donations, it's all donations, it's all donations.

Speaker 1 31:45

Let me and I want to ask you because you would know better than anybody on this topic all your product comes from China. Have you started to see the?

Speaker 3 31:58

tariffs impact the number. Of it's crazy so it is.

Speaker 1 32:00

So, in fairness, the tariffs aren't a good thing for a small business.

Speaker 3 32:04

No, we paid 20% more on our consumer products this year. So what happened was the tariffs got up to like 147%, but they only got. It depended on when the container came in. So, like you know, as those tariffs were going up and down, they would either refuse them or take them. Some took them, some didn't. I mean, I heard there was a total of like 11,000 containers that they said no, yeah, they're not doing it. But some took them, but they couldn't decide what they were going to do as a firework company. Are we going to sell it to you at this tariff fee or are we going to just make it a simple fee? But next year will be the true tell sign of what's going to happen, because they're behind over there. There's no space. All those containers are sitting. Are the tariffs going to unpack that or not? There might not be fireworks next year, so if people didn't buy up or have extra fireworks, there might not be enough to go around.

Speaker 1 32:57

Well, I'm not going to jump onto the old what do you think of the tariffs bandwagon, because I mean tariffs, I'm not even going there. Uh, regardless, I would have to assume, getting back to where this all started, that that impacts the show as well. Yes, when you're given a set dollar volume and the price of goods go up and you're only going to get that volume, especially to kim's point that it is publicly funded through donations, yeah, yeah, and people don't donate.

Speaker 3 33:29

Yeah, we have to pay for that increase, so like. We usually try and pass that on so like. But some shows, don't you know, if they're set on a $10,000 show, they're only going to spend $10,000. They don't care if a tariff tax whatever, they're going to stay right there.

Speaker 2 33:48

Well then, I have to adjust for that, so that you don't get the same show that ten thousand paid for last year the year before, so that it is very difficult to adjust and and do that.

Speaker 3 33:54

So a lot of people. This year I had to put the tariff fee at the end and I was like, hey, if you want the same show as last year, this is your tariff fee well, oh yeah, let me ask you then small business, you know, I mean, you are the definition of a small business when it comes to this um there.

Speaker 1 34:10

So you have a fear, then, that you may not have a job next summer?

Speaker 3 34:13

yeah, we might not be shooting. It's going to depend, because what will happen is all your big guys, your rossi's, your grucci's, the guys that do disney, the reds, all those guys they're going to buy up all the product in the market because they got the money and the power to do it. So us little guys that do displays, they might have a monopoly because you can't get the fireworks in the area you bought them. And it happens every day Like there's certain things I want to buy and I'll go buy it and they're like oh sorry, rozzy bought 50 cases of it and sold us out, oh geez. So it's like you know, and they just, you know, store it. So people like me, you know I can't buy like that. So yeah, there is a big fear next year for fireworks. But I mean, we're good this year, but next year we don't know.

Speaker 2 34:54

Wow, well, we'll drop it there, because that becomes a political discussion next.

Speaker 3 35:06

We did that enough last time. But hey, back to the forum. The forum, though, when you were talking about um, I got on there and I don't usually get on there and comment because it doesn't do any good but yeah, people were so upset about the finale and about, like, what they were paying, who wasn't paying this and that, and I just said you know, we like opinions, good or bad. It makes me better as a company and as a person. And I said and then here's what happened we had a fire at the dumpster that stopped the show in the back when they were shooting. The fire department shut you down. They have to put the fire out, and then we can't shoot shells while they're putting the fire out right.

Speaker 3 35:37

So that stopped there and then I had to adjust on the fly. That's why on the hill, I tell people to go the hill. I had to shoot something to keep it going until the break, so we were about a four minute off. Then it goes to the second half. We're trying to shoot the show doing this and that the finale chain which was supposed to it would have been epic if it would all went off at the same time is a time chain, so the time chain was supposed to be instant or one second delay. There are actually eight to ten second delays. That's why you see multiple finales going off eight to ten seconds later. So I had to put all that on there because it wasn't you know like dalton said people are nosy they're complaining, they're upset, people are arguing each other.

Speaker 3 36:18

It doesn't do no good I usually don't comment on there, but I had to say something. That way people know what actually happened, you know, instead of speculation.

Speaker 2 36:27

Shit happens.

Speaker 3 36:28

Yeah, and we never had that happen before Every occupation and everything in life.

Speaker 2 36:33

Shit happens and sometimes things aren't exactly perfect as they were intended.

Speaker 3 36:38

But then I go to the bank today and the lady's like this is the best fireworks show I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 2 36:42

Yeah, Do you want to tell her?

Speaker 1 36:45

you ain't seen very many shows then.

Speaker 3 36:46

I was like what? And she was like yeah, it was awesome and I was like well, I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 36:52

It's still way better than what we used to have, I tell you about these podcast shows.

Speaker 1 36:57

I'm like man, they can't all be fucking Grammy winners. I know, like you know, like this one right now is still touch and go Touch and go yeah, we may or may not get another Patreon sponsor. Yeah, I don't know where we're going after this story, so anyway.

Speaker 1 37:10

I'm your next Patreon sponsor. There you go. Oh, there you go. You're a good man, you know what. And I, you know. That's the thing. I love that when people love to complain about something, they provided exactly zero dollars in funding towards right, you know. It's like, hey, this free show I just watched, sucked, it sucked. Why wasn't it better? Yeah, why would I donate now?

Speaker 2 37:33

sucked right I was sitting behind them and I accidentally got hit by something coming out of the air.

Speaker 3 37:40

No shit we're gonna make up for it. Saturday, I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 37:44

Make sure Gibbler shows up. I'm working on it. Here's a story out of the great state of Arkansas.

Speaker 2 37:51

Arkansas.

Speaker 1 37:52

Arkansas New tea. Tales have been released about a deadly crash that unfortunately killed two Arkansas sisters in Logan County on May 30th of this year. The two sisters were from Scranton and they were driving southbound on a what. What are you?

Speaker 2 38:09

laughing about. Sorry. You say Scranton, I immediately think of the Office.

Speaker 1 38:13

Oh my God, I'm reading a story about two sisters that died in your I'm sorry. What kind of sick bastard are you? Holy shit, I'm sorry it's not funny yet, stop, holy shit. Sorry, it's not funny yet, no sure, sorry, this one never gets funny. But yeah, anyway, I'm just fucking with you.

Speaker 1 38:34

Anyway, these two sisters from Scranton, Arkansas, were driving southbound on Morrison Bluff Bridge on Highway 109 around 11 pm when their vehicle was rear-ended by a 2011 Chevrolet. The impact reportedly forced their vehicle across the center line where it collided with an oncoming semi-truck and it killed them both.

Speaker 1 38:51

Now here were the original details. On June 5th of last month, arkansas State Police announced the arrest of Ian and Martha Phillips. At the time, ian was charged with two counts of manslaughter. Okay, his charges have been upgraded to second degree murder. Wow. According to the affidavit released by prosecutors on July 8th so just two days ago Ian was allegedly driving approximately 155 miles per hour, holy crap.

Speaker 1 39:25

When he hit the victim's vehicle, which was driving 53 miles per hour. Holy crap, when he hit the victim's vehicle, which was driving 53 miles per hour. Oh wow, I got to assume this is like 27. So like just a two lane road.

Speaker 2 39:34

Right yeah, and he's doing 155. Like, was he trying to like drive his DeLorean into the future, or what? Oh?

Speaker 1 39:41

it gets worse. He hit the victim's vehicle when it was doing 53. The force of the collision reportedly caused the Arthur sisters, who were to accelerate to over 90 miles an hour before they hit the semi-truck head-on. Now Martha's manslaughter charges stem from the fact that she allegedly supplied her grandson with the Chevrolet because at the time he didn't have a driver's license. Oh wow.

Speaker 2 40:07

He's just getting hurt too.

Speaker 1 40:09

Oh well, it gets better. And this just came out. On Tuesday this week, the arrest for Ian and Martha were released, detailing new events. The affidavit states that Martha traveled with Ian to Missouri to buy him a sports car, which she allowed him to drive back to their Scranton home site and, reminding you, he doesn't have a license she said that Martha was aware of Ian's reckless driving, including a time he fled from police on a side by side when he took her vehicle without permission and allegedly wrecked it in a field. Now Ian's sister reportedly told officials that ian had said he and martha were racing back from fayetteville. The affidavit also states that they brought that the kid bragged about gapping the the grandmother the whole way back and said that martha was maxing out around 120 miles per hour. Holy sheesh, this lord.

Speaker 2 41:03

Good Lord, Mamaw yes.

Speaker 1 41:05

Wow. So this young kid was doing 155, and the grandmother was doing 120, and she bought him this car and he didn't even have a license. I don't really know what the discussion point is, other than just this is the world we live in man, what the hell.

Speaker 3 41:23

Bragging.

Speaker 1 41:25

Grandma will get it for me. Oh my gosh, fuck. You know. There was a story I think it was out of Texas where a kid got off on a crime because it was entitlement. It was that whole like I've been giving everything my whole life excuse and the judge let him off. I bet you they were friends. What do you think?

Speaker 2 41:45

So he became even more entitled. Yeah.

Speaker 1 41:52

Ian and Martha are scheduled to make their next court appearance tomorrow at 930 am. Yeah, yeah, grandma and grandson are going to prison together. Yeah, Sweet.

Speaker 2 41:58

Oh, that's weird for them yeah.

Speaker 1 42:02

I don't know. What's the fastest you've ever drove in a car, probably maybe 120.

Speaker 2 42:08

Yeah, oh shit, that's fast I don't think I've ever been that fast. No, mine's about 95 that I've been driving. No, I have been in a car that was over 100, and I was not comfortable with it Not too thrilled with that.

Speaker 1 42:20

Yeah, you've had an interesting car accident story, a couple. We had one yeah, you've had a couple, we had one. Yeah, yeah, tried to fly didn't work out too well.

Speaker 3 42:30

You flew, we flew for a little bit. It's the landing, yeah, landing.

Speaker 1 42:32

We didn't stay, we didn't stick too well, man, you know you hit hard when it blows the button off your shorts yeah the button off your shorts and like never mind, guys, we can go home. I, I found it. Oh man, you got to love when they make you crawl into the back of the ambulance and your back is broken. Yeah, they did that. Go ahead and hop up in there. I looked at them. I was like are you?

Speaker 2 42:51

fucking serious.

Speaker 1 42:53

About fall out because I can't step up. So they just pushed me up, Wow. And then Reed caught fire on the last person. They're like we're going to go ahead and try it, see if it works.

Speaker 2 43:03

Oh my God, are you serious? If not, we're going to have to send you to Indy.

How Dogs Control Our Social Lives

Speaker 1 43:06

I was like, yeah, I'm good, send me to Indy. No, we're going to try it anyways. I was like, yeah, whatever, if this doesn't work out, all right. How many of us own dogs? Yes, I have two. Yeah, a new report says that the average dog owner makes 27 decisions a month based upon their pet. The average dog owner supposedly cancels social plans at least four times a month because the dog can't go Nope, and they typically cut plans short six times a month.

Speaker 2 43:44

Nope, and they typically cut plans short six times a month. Nope, I mean, like my uncle wanted us to stay the night and like hang out for the whole weekend, but we've got one dog in a crate.

Speaker 1 43:54

You have a roommate, though, right?

Speaker 2 43:56

Yeah, but if he's got stuff going on, it's Fourth of July weekend, yeah.

Speaker 1 44:00

No, I will say sleeping over is a little different. We have two dogs. You know, it's funny to me what I've learned when it comes to dogs. People that don't have kids react to their dog's needs way differently than a person that has kids.

Speaker 2 44:13

I agree, oh, yeah, yeah because fuck them dogs. Yeah, well, fuck them, I fed them, I fed them, they went out.

Speaker 1 44:19

I'm good Right. I mean Now I'm good Right. I mean Now, how many times a month do you? I mean, like I know for sure JP has been like man, I can't. I can't go because Jolene hasn't taken a shit in the last two hours.

Speaker 2 44:32

Oh, I was late to my event today by 10 minutes because Are you serious?

Speaker 3 44:36

I?

Speaker 2 44:36

mean it wasn't like I had to be there at a certain time, but I was like hey, running a little late, Jolene wouldn't take a shit, Still outside with her trying to get her to poop before I leave it's funny to me that you know your dog's VM movements. Well, she has to do it in the morning, and I'm going to be gone for five hours before anybody's home, so I prefer her not to do that in the crate, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 45:02

Yeah, the report also compared how ownership changes based on whether or not oh my God, it literally says this. I should have read this Whether or not people have or have not children. There you go. That's fucking hilarious. Not surprisingly, people without kids are more likely to spoil their dogs and consider their dogs to be children. They're also more likely to drop money on treats, toys and fun things. I still do that anyway. Higher quality pet food, dog beds, dog furniture, personalized accessories like engraved tags and monogrammed blankets Ah, not monogrammed blankets. No.

Speaker 2 45:38

I don't have the monogrammed blanket, but we do have the monogrammed collars.

Speaker 1 45:42

Ah, I still buy them treats and toys. Well, yeah.

Speaker 2 45:45

Jolene has a BarkBox membership every month. Yeah, I've had that.

Speaker 1 45:50

Especially when they're young, they chew everything up. You need new shit every time. Yeah, I don't know how many beds we went through.

Speaker 2 45:55

Oh, and it's like she's on the expensive dog food because her breed they tend to be allergic to, like chicken and beef, so I have to do the salmon and certain dog foods and all right, it's 90 bag. Oh damn, yeah, two a month dog eats.

Speaker 1 46:13

Good, uh, all right, we got three more stories. I'm gonna go through these really fast because, um well, intro took too long. A man in china showed up at er sweating, pale and clutching his stomach.

Speaker 1 46:29

What doctors found inside him sounded like the gnarliest horror movie ever. A 33-year-old patient arrived at the hospital with severe abdominal pain. His stomach had gone bored hard, and they were prompting for an emergency imaging. A CT scan revealed something bizarre, to say the least. An object appeared to have pierced his intestines, holy cow, and entered his abdominal cavity. Now I'm telling you, if you never had a fear of shit before, this is probably one you may want to turn the show off. Doctors rushed him into laparoscopic surgery, and that's when they found it. It was an eel, a line oh what Swimming among his organs. What, oh nice. The creature had completely bored through the man's intestinal wall and entered the abdominal cavity, putting him at risk for a death.

Speaker 2 47:21

Had he swallowed it or had it gone the other direction death. Had he swallowed it or had it gone?

Speaker 1 47:24

the other direction. Surgeons used a clamp to extract the eel, then stitched the puncture site in the colon.

Speaker 2 47:33

Oh.

Medical Emergencies: The Eel Incident

Speaker 1 47:33

And flushed the entire area with saline, Apparently this gentleman. Somehow he must have slipped and fell on it.

Speaker 2 47:43

Oh, that's his booty hole. Put an eel in his booty hole.

Speaker 1 47:48

The eel went into his intestine or his colon and then ate a hole in it and then was just rummaging around in his stomach. Can you imagine being one of the doctors that has to pull this live eel? Like, what do you do with the eel? Then Do you let it go and you're like man, I saw some shit.

Speaker 2 48:04

You know what I'm saying Nah.

Speaker 1 48:08

Apparently this is pretty common out of Asia. This has surfaced before other fish, other aquatic creatures making their way into places they shouldn't. Where was this at? This was in Asia. This was China, specifically.

Speaker 3 48:21

Okay.

Speaker 1 48:22

These are the people that ate bats.

Speaker 2 48:24

Yeah, you know what I mean. No, they really ate the bats, but they're putting shit up their bong, yeah well here we do it with mammals, they do it with aquatic things over there, yeah gerbils and baby mice in a condom.

Speaker 1 48:37

Yeah, whatever you know, I've heard stories. Yeah, strangely, I already said that part. Alright, there you go. So there you go. Keep eels out of your asshole and you won't have to worry about them being in your belly.

Speaker 2 48:49

Yeah, I'm gonna go on a limb and say it was an electric eel.

Speaker 1 48:53

No, no, Uh, man, Nah, just a good old booty eel. Uh, the man fully recovered. Uh, the image of the living eel swimming through someone's gut will likely stick with the hospital staff for a long time. Do you think he went? Do you mind if I can take that home with me? Put that in the jar. He said it's clean right, right.

Speaker 2 49:12

He put that into his mouth.

Speaker 1 49:14

I heard about the sterile solution you put on that you can't put it in the jar, put some armor or anything around my colon, can you, just in case, speaking of stuff going into someone's asshole, that shouldn't. Emergency room personnel had to be ready for everything, and this is including a situation on June 7th this is a good old state of Florida A stabbing victim was brought into the emergency room of the Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital. They were in need of surgery for an injury that the man's. Then he ended up getting arrested. This is why Michael Cornelius O'Neill was the victim of his stabbing. He was transported to the hospital, as I mentioned, and he was in the emergency room in need of surgery. While the surgery prep work was going on, a registered nurse located several items located in the man's rectum.

Speaker 2 50:09

Damn near killed him.

Speaker 1 50:11

Rectum Damn near killed him. According to the arrest affidavit, the RN located a crumpled piece of tinfoil, a lighter, a glass pipe, a burnt Brillo. Oh geez man, this guy had a lot of shit in his ass. Oh wow, what's going on camping Right? Oh man, it sounds like he's getting ready to do some cooking. Inside the tin foil were several pieces of a white rocky substance which tested positive for a cocaine. What I did not guess that the surgery was fortunately successful. No, I bet you, they didn't let him take that into jail with him. He was charged with possession of a controlled substance for cocaine and the possession of drug paraphernalia.

Hidden Contraband and Soccer Threats

Speaker 2 50:55

So would it be an aluminum foil, like if they were to put you in an MRI? Would that just like? No, that's not magnetic.

Speaker 1 51:00

It's not magnetic, right the CAT scan would be the one that it pulled him.

Speaker 2 51:05

I might hurt a little bit.

Speaker 1 51:06

It shoots through your rectum like an eel in China man, this is kind of the one.

Speaker 2 51:14

You know what that's going to be like the new phrase, Like you've really got to go to the bathroom. You're like, oh, it's like an eel in China.

Speaker 1 51:19

Oh man.

Speaker 2 51:22

It's like that eel in your ass.

Speaker 1 51:24

It's like a crack pipe in Florida, just sticking out my asshole right there. Here's the wild part about our hospital here locally has a police staff yeah On site, yeah on site. So if you go there with anything drug related, you're in trouble. Yes, you are. What a way to convince people to stay home and OD. You know what I mean? He didn't know. Obviously he's not the brightest bulb in the drawer, like man you get to three.

Speaker 3 51:53

You got stabbed. I got to go to the hospital. They have the Narcan boxes now, so you don't have to go to the hospital. Just go get your Narcan. There you go, man, I'm going to hide this.

Speaker 1 52:00

I don't want to leave it in my pants pocket. I'm going to put it in my prison pocket, right, I think I might get stabbed. I better put this in my ass real quick.

Speaker 2 52:07

I have a feeling he did that after he got stabbed. He's like ugh.

Speaker 1 52:11

I'm going to need that later. No, I think if you had had it afterward, you probably would have smoked it, because of the pain.

Speaker 2 52:20

I don't know.

Speaker 1 52:21

That's why imagine, thinking man I just got stabbed, I got to go to the hospital, I better stick this in my ass.

Speaker 2 52:26

No, I don't think he was like wanting to go to the hospital. I think he was like stabbed, laying there and going oh shit, I got to do something with this stuff, I can't move.

Speaker 1 52:34

Maybe we should reach out to him.

Speaker 2 52:36

Nah, I'm good, cornelius.

Speaker 1 52:40

Cornelius, you don't hear a lot of Cornelius's anymore.

Speaker 2 52:43

Hey, this is gonna be one of those points and times where I mind my own business. There you go buddy.

Speaker 1 52:48

Alright, here's our last one, thankfully, yeah, this isn't gonna be a Grammy winner. This is Richmond's fireworks show right here. Oh, burn, come on. That's funny. The show was good. The finale.

Speaker 3 53:02

Back to the French and Indian war. We got a French and Indian War topic here.

Speaker 1 53:05

No, you know what I feel for Jay, because you know. Here's the thing about these things right, you fucking care, man, and you're your own Like when this shit, I'm my own worst critic. And when we do something that fails, I don't need to be reminded of it, because I promise you I've already beaten myself up 12 times about it. And that's the thing. Like man keyboard jockeys, everybody gets on the internet and is afraid to, isn't afraid to throw shade anymore. Oh yeah, but we as a country, we haven't evolved to that yet. Like, I used to work for people from germany for 10 years and I'm going to tell you right now, they are not afraid to tell you exactly how they feel. But here you can ask somebody like you guys are making 70 pounds of smoked meat. I promise you this. Not one single person will tell you it sucks, right, because that's who we are, as you know.

Speaker 2 53:52

It may be good, right, but here's maybe that's my point, you don't know girl you don't know.

Speaker 1 53:58

But my whole point is um, you really never fully know in the United States what people really feel. You know what I mean. Like you can ask them their opinion and, face to face, they're going to sugarcoat it. But that's the thing with social media now is you're starting to see people just be as blatantly open and honest as possible and we, as Americans, we haven't been able to grasp the fact that people are assholes.

Speaker 2 54:25

Right. So on this event page they're going to be like I mean, the tournament was fantastic, but I don't know about that chicken, I think more and more people, though, are starting to tell people how they really feel.

Speaker 1 54:37

That's what I mean.

Speaker 3 54:38

It's getting face-to-face like blatant, and I think that's why you're seeing so many hostile shit going on.

Speaker 1 54:44

Yeah, man, I'm telling you the thought we'd rehearse the show way that was such a lead into our final story.

Speaker 2 54:51

But would you rather somebody be blatantly honest or would you rather be like? I mean, that was great.

Speaker 1 54:56

No, I'm going to tell you right now. No, and it's my favorite. There's a movie oh, not hardball, it's the same guys that did the film the big short. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, you've seen it About the housing crash. Yeah, yeah, there's a line that they put up on the screen at some point and they said it's anonymous. They don't know who said it, but it's one of my favorite quotes of all time. Yeah, they said honesty is is like poetry and most people fucking hate poetry.

Speaker 3 55:31

Right, we don't want to hear shit unless it's positive.

Speaker 1 55:35

So when you say like oh you know people?

Speaker 2 55:37

no, I don't think people do so, like in your like, like your uh, yearly review or whatever, would you rather them just like sugarcoat it or would you rather them just sugarcoat it, or would you rather them be like? You know, we think you're kind of sucking.

Speaker 1 55:49

We need you to step up.

Speaker 2 55:51

That's why, if you work for Germans for 10 years, you are not afraid, you already know, and there's no such thing as constructive criticism.

Speaker 1 55:59

Oh, that's not well, but that doesn't mean it's not Constructive. Criticism is more or less someone that's trying to provide like hey, love the chicken.

Speaker 2 56:11

but add a little more flavor.

Speaker 1 56:13

But which really means don't love the chicken.

Speaker 2 56:15

Make it less dry.

Speaker 1 56:17

Yeah right. But if they just said your chicken fucking sucked, that's just criticism. But constructive criticism is like, hey, you spice it like a white person, Like throw some shit in there, that's constructive criticism.

Speaker 2 56:33

You've had my cooking, you know that's not true?

Speaker 1 56:36

Well, that's why people in our families don't live long.

Speaker 2 56:39

That's true.

Speaker 1 56:41

Oh, my aunt Judy used to cook mashed potatoes with two sticks of butter Holy cow.

Speaker 2 56:46

Paladin.

Speaker 1 56:47

Yeah, shit was delicious. I bet it was. I'm telling you she passed. Everybody in the family lost 10 pounds.

Speaker 2 56:54

God love her. Oh, dude, man Missed my aunt.

Speaker 1 56:58

All right, here's our last story. This is talking again about people that just don't know how to keep a filter on in public. Again, about people that just don't know how to keep a filter on in public. A 53-year-old man in Ontario is facing charges for allegedly threatening a child during a soccer game earlier this month. This is all true? I believe it. Man this shit happens everywhere.

Speaker 2 57:20

I've been researching here lately. So in Canada they call soccer, soccer yeah.

Speaker 1 57:24

They're not europe europeans, well no, they're pretty much north americans.

Speaker 2 57:31

Yeah, I think except for the french canadians. Or well, well, but there's still french indian more, there's still canadians. Yeah, uh, yeah, well, that's sorry people in que Quebec are they're? Anyway, quebec.

Speaker 1 57:45

Yeah, the man was charged with one count of uttering threats. At roughly 10 pm that day, a youth soccer game was underway. That's probably why it's so fucking late now no shit At a field around Dufferin Street, the man a parent of a player allegedly uttered a threat against a youth on the opposing team. This was like 11U and under. Oh jeez Right.

Speaker 3 58:11

Why would you even do that?

Speaker 1 58:13

These were young, young people, right, he was arrested and charged. Now I looked it up because I was curious. What did he say to this kid, right, right, this 11U or 13U kid? He said I'm going to fucking stab you, holy cow. Yes, because soccer is a big deal in canada, apparently, apparently, like why he was definitely blatantly honest yeah, he's like, I don't need a social forum to tell you that I want to stab your fucking kid. You're killing us. I'm gonna'm going to kill you. Why?

Speaker 2 58:45

Oh my.

Speaker 1 58:45

God. Well, there you go. That is the world we live in today, buddy.

Speaker 2 58:49

Jeez oh.

Speaker 1 58:49

Pete. People get a text, somebody's honoring their family member, and you get a free trip back to Puerto Rico. It's there we are, Anyway, not the funniest show we've ever put together, but Not the funniest show we've ever put together, but certainly interesting, I think, in some aspects. Thanks again to our buddies down at the Bottle Shop here in Richmond for providing these shake-ups.

Speaker 2 59:11

Deliciousness.

Speaker 1 59:12

I will say three of the four. We're brutally honest on here. Three of the four are really good.

Speaker 2 59:18

The peach is amazing, lemon was just itch.

Speaker 1 59:20

Peach and blueberry. I think it's lemon. I think they struggle to make lemon good in anything.

Speaker 2 59:24

It's kind of like if you like Sierra Mist or if you like Sprite or if you like 7-Up. They're all a little bit different but, they all kind of suck.

Speaker 1 59:31

You know I love watermelon. Can't stand watermelon flavored things.

Speaker 2 59:35

Same. See, I'm the opposite.

Speaker 1 59:37

I hate watermelon, but I like watermelon flavored things.

Speaker 2 59:39

Oh, I don't, I hate watermelons.

Speaker 1 59:41

I can't stand watermelons, really, absolutely not.

Speaker 2 59:43

And what about grape? Not actually tasting like grape?

Speaker 1 59:46

ever, not, nothing Not anything, go ahead.

Speaker 2 59:50

What's the world coming to? Nah, no, go ahead. There we go, go ahead.

Speaker 1 1:00:09

I'd be too drunk and happy. Just make sure you don't go over the side. Yeah, flat Earth, you know what I'm talking about. All right, make sure you support us on Patreoncom backslash After2Beers. Make sure you support our buddy, kevin Shook. If you're looking to do these kinds of things, or maybe you've got some property you need to sell, or maybe you have a business here locally you want to set up some sort of like social interview or maybe like just a what is that? Oh, you're already looking at the picture you already got the picture.

Speaker 2 1:00:39

Oh my snot rocket's on there.

Speaker 1 1:00:41

Rockets on there.

Speaker 1 1:00:45

Chasing sweetness and laughs. Oh, and there's the ice cream truck. I love this show man. Oh no, put that back up there.

Speaker 2 1:00:54

I love it. I was going to say I'm really digging your hair there.

Speaker 1 1:00:59

Yeah, I like it, yeah, anyway, thanks again for tuning in to After 2 Beers. We greatly appreciate it. Make sure you go back and look at some of the old shows. You can get those on YouTube. Facebook has a new policy. They only keep them for 30 days. So if you want to go back and look at old shows, or if you go to iTunes, spotify, buzzsprout, you can listen to all of our shows, all the way back to the ones that we kept About the French and Indian War.

Speaker 2 1:01:25

Yeah.

Speaker 1 1:01:25

I'm sure.

Speaker 2 1:01:26

There's some we did not keep.

Speaker 1 1:01:28

I am sure there's some that discuss the French and Indian War.

Speaker 3 1:01:32

Many, many moons ago. You better have kept that one. Yeah, what do you mean? That one, that one?

Speaker 1 1:01:36

Right, it was the entire history segment when I tried to have you and Kim do it. Anyway, all right, we say it at the end of every show and it is, without hesitation, the most important thing we say, and it's simply this we talk about it on the show a lot. The world's tough and people just make it more and more tough on each other. They like to just piss and moan Lots of pissing and moaning out there and it can get down on some people.

Speaker 1 1:02:02

It can wear you down a little bit, especially if you're just trying to do something for the public good and people just throwing shade. There are haters out there. All I'm saying is, if there is a person in your life that you feel like the world's just getting to them, maybe they just don't seem like themselves, they're down a little bit. Maybe you know they're going through some tough shit. We all do it. Do me a favor, reach tough shit and, um, we all do it. Do me a favor, reach out to them. Just ask them how they're doing, how they've been, invite them to the show. Make sure they go watch fireworks, because fireworks are like pizza.

Speaker 1 1:02:32

Even a bad firework show is kick ass absolutely, absolutely there is no such thing as a bad firework show, unless you're the guy that's holding it. When it goes off, yes, then it sucks that's kind of. I would assume you better hope it was the other hand. All right, make sure you follow us. We'll be at Trivia here in a few weeks and I guess, without further ado, puddin' Gibbler, we will talk to them all next time.

Speaker 2 1:02:59

After two beers Take me home. Take me on home.
