#184 After 2 Beers: The Coldplay Cheating Scandal and the Double Standard of Morality

After 2 Beers Episode 184

The infamous Coldplay concert cheating scandal sets the stage for a candid conversation about moral hypocrisy and selective outrage in today’s culture. When a man was caught on camera with a woman who wasn’t his wife—sparking public outrage and professional fallout—we had to ask: why do some personal failings ruin careers while others are brushed aside?

Looking at the numbers makes it even more complex. In 2022, over 672,000 divorces were filed, with half citing infidelity as a factor. And yet, studies suggest nearly half of cheaters never get caught. So how many people piling on in the comments have skeletons of their own? The hypocrisy is hard to miss.

From there, the discussion expands into consumer morality—boycotts of brands like Hobby Lobby, Chick-fil-A, or Bud Light, and how generational differences shape those decisions. As Gen Xers, we admit we tend to separate products from the politics of the companies behind them, while younger generations often choose to make their wallets an extension of their values.

We also dig into the thorny issue of separating art from the artist. Can you enjoy Michael Jackson’s music despite the controversies? What about Roman Polanski films? We share our own boundaries—and the inconsistencies we all carry when it comes to judging others.

To balance the heavy stuff, we lighten the mood with bizarre Florida headlines and shocking stats about pool etiquette (yes, 53% of adults admit to peeing in pools). It’s equal parts hilarious and gross—but perfectly illustrates how messy and inconsistent human behavior really is.

This episode is raw, real, and at times uncomfortable—but it’s also an honest look at the contradictions we all live with. Join us as we talk through the lines we draw, the judgments we make, and the hypocrisies that connect us more than we realize.

Speaker 1:

Let's talk about it, something that's in. You know I'm not putting you on the spot right now.

Speaker 3:

I've got some notes to get us started, okay.

Speaker 1:

But that kind of thing, let's just. It's like we're bullshitting here. The one I want to talk about, and this is going to go in a million different directions, right, that's why it's going to take half the show to do this one. I want to talk about the Coldplay concert guy.

Speaker 3:

Oh that yes, oh no.

Speaker 1:

We're going to start there with you. Can't miss this.

Speaker 3:

I bet, amish people even know.

Speaker 1:

I bet you could go to the Amish place up the road and they'd be like can you believe that guy at the concert?

Speaker 2:

What an idiot.

Speaker 3:

I would never get caught.

Speaker 5:

Right yeah, Puddin'. What'd Uncle say?

Speaker 4:

Yeah, yeah, I don't know Uncle Graber, is he?

Speaker 2:

making fun of your beard. Yeah, it's kind of he's getting there.

Speaker 1:

Well, you trim the mustache at least. Yeah, I did. I don't think they do that so much, no, and I can't smell you sitting here. Oh, I know, I smelled one earlier today.

Speaker 2:

God love him.

Speaker 1:

He's ripe In this heat Ripe, Introduce him to the patchouli or something. Man, oh my God Get him something I'm like here.

Speaker 2:

I just kept throwing air fresheners in his car.

Speaker 1:

You need more of these. You need to go more than anybody. Alright, so I want to talk about this gentleman. This thing has been fascinating to me. Yeah, ponder brings up Hulk Hogan. We are going to pull him into this story. Buddy, brother, brother, we're going to talk about him. And Ray Rice, tiger Woods, everybody. Uh, brother, brother, brother, we're gonna talk about him. And whole ray rice, tiger woods, everybody everybody, it's gonna be a good one.

Speaker 1:

I think, well, maybe it's up to us, right as a collective. So this guy, he goes to a concert and I don't even know why I'm saying just this guy takes to the tango, oh yeah, right, and uh, they go to the show and uh, he gets called out in front of everybody.

Speaker 2:

Now not no one. I mean not like he knew he was going to get no no, no, so I mean everybody's seen it.

Speaker 1:

It's not like yeah, so it's. So my question gets into first of all. So the guy cheated and I was curious about it. I actually the CDC tracks numbers of divorces.

Speaker 1:

And yeah, I would. This is the. I've got a long time to drive now and my good friend ChatGBT helps me out with this stuff all day long. And then I got stopped by a train today that for some reason, decided it was just going to stop a state road. I'm sitting there for 20 minutes, so I took notes. I actually wrote all this right here outside Greensburg Indiana.

Speaker 2:

Nice yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

So in 2022, that's last year they have the numbers of divorces 672,000 divorces took place in the United States in 2022. Now I asked about how many of the divorces cited the word infidelity and it went up to 50%. I was going to say 50%. 50%, so 675, you divide that by two. What are we looking at there? 320-ish 330-ish 330,000 divorces were caused by infidelity, and then I was curious then, and then I asked chat gbt. I said how many people cheat and don't get caught?

Speaker 2:

well, how you gonna know well?

Speaker 1:

it's surveys yeah okay. They said up to 46 percent of people who have cheated have admitted they didn't get caught cheating. Wow, right, okay. So we're talking every year hundreds of thousands of divorces that are caused by infidelity and another who knows how many that don't ever get discussed, right, right. But the funniest part to me was, as I was watching the world react to this couple, was how everyone destroyed them as just the worst fucking people in the world.

Speaker 4:

Oh, yeah, I mean and and so they were either doing that or going dude. If that happens, just act like it's not a big deal.

Speaker 2:

Oh well, they were up on the screen. I mean, there was no avoiding that.

Speaker 4:

Well, here's the thing, though their reaction is what made people start video. Yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1:

But you know, here's the thing. Like we're not famous, no, but I can go to a concert or a Reds game here locally and there's going to be a half dozen people there that know me, yeah, and if I'm up on that kiss cam, they're going. Oh shit, there's Chris Dalton. Yeah Right, oh yeah. But if I'm up there hugging on you, they're probably like holy, and even if you and I don't react that shit. It's going to get back to you.

Speaker 2:

Yeah Right, that's going to be a text I'm going'd be the big spoon, always, always the big spoon.

Speaker 1:

So this is what's leading me all into the discussion here. Okay, so the first part is I think we can all admit openly that people are pretty hypocritical. Yeah, there was probably people that were cheating on their spouse that evening that were like this guy's a fucking creep.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know Probably. Yeah, other people there just didn't get caught Right.

Speaker 1:

So here's my first thing so, as a result of all of this, he stepped down from his job. Yes, so him and another guy co-founded this place and he steps down. And so the first question I have to both you and people listening, kevin, I'd love to get your response on some of this too. Was that the right decision for him to step down?

Speaker 4:

I bet his business partner asked I do.

Speaker 2:

They have like a board of directors. I wonder if they're like, hey, why don't you go ahead and step down?

Speaker 4:

we probably don't want this in our spotlight, right or a distraction? Hey, we're gonna give you. Go ahead and step down.

Speaker 2:

We probably don't want this in our spotlight or a distraction. Hey, we're going to give you a severance package if you just get the hell out, right?

Speaker 1:

So my question is does it matter?

Speaker 2:

If he stepped down.

Speaker 1:

No that he cheated. So hear me out on this, okay, Maybe to his wife. What does that have to do?

Speaker 4:

Well, that's what I was kind of leaning towards, is that they wanted to make sure they were covering the business in case. Well, that and she's HR, but they also wanted to cover the business in case he does get divorced and his wife tries to take half.

Speaker 1:

Well, regardless, she's still going to get it.

Speaker 4:

But she'll get whatever he has.

Speaker 1:

But now he doesn't have anything.

Speaker 1:

Well, they may have fired him, but he's still got shares yeah, but, but right, but you're, that's a good point, um, but here's the, here's the direction I want to go with it. Right is, I don't know how many employees were at that company, okay, but let's say it was a publicly traded company and you own shares in it, okay, okay, do you give two shits if that guy cheated on his wife, if it causes your shares to go down because he was the one that was making all the right decisions.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, they only care about the money, the profit.

Speaker 1:

All right, let's say you work at a company that you like and you find out that the CEO cheated on his wife, would you be like he's got to quit, even though I'm getting ready to get a big bonus because he's taking us in the right direction, right yeah, then what happens? That's my question. That is my question to both of you. Do you care what your boss or your boss's boss or your boss's boss's boss?

Speaker 2:

does outside of work. As long as I still have a job, I don't care what you do.

Speaker 4:

No, that's what I'm interested in as long as it doesn't influence like affect the company itself.

Speaker 2:

Like we told Kevin earlier, as long as those checks keep cashing.

Speaker 5:

Well, and the thing of it is so, in this instance, it's in the workplace. Yeah, because she works there. Oh yeah, so this reminds me of a lot of stuff right here in Richmond, indiana, of people I know very well. Yeah, you want to share?

Speaker 4:

some stories. No, no, no, we don't no.

Speaker 3:

Hey, there's, a reason he doesn't drink.

Speaker 5:

There is a reason I don't drink, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I know, I meant that you would share that kind of shit.

Speaker 5:

Well, now I just make memes and send them to people Poor, but anyways. But no, that was directly in the workplace so it could infect the front office staff.

Speaker 1:

Now, I worked for a company here locally I won't name it, I don't think it matters, nobody there probably listens to my show anyway but they had a CEO that had to step down for a very similar thing. Yeah, absolutely, and it wasn't an employee, right, yeah? Now, I'm not going to go into any other of the details of that, but I knew the gentleman, smart guy, very smart guy, and that's when I start questioning do we really care in this country what people really do?

Speaker 2:

I think some people care too much. I don't disagree, and that's where cancel culture comes from right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and so the examples that I was thinking about today, an example of where companies may take a moral route. Because of the CEO yeah, hobby Lobby. Yeah, there are people that will not shop at Hobby Lobby because of their their.

Speaker 2:

Christian beliefs. Yeah, chick-fil-a, chick-fil-a. Yeah, they won't go there, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4:

Well, I don't think it's their Christian. I think it's that, the fact that they're anti yeah.

Speaker 2:

No no no, no, I know, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

You can.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there's Christians that are pro LGBTQ, right, right but there are atheists that are anti LGBTQ, much like some Christians, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, right, but I think it's based on that. Right Is where that comes from, but Bud Light was another one where they made a decision to do some advertising that did not go over well.

Speaker 2:

Did not go well, did it no?

Speaker 4:

I don't know. I don't think that they had like, I think that just briefly it went down, but I think that they ended up coming back up plus some.

Speaker 5:

Didn't they Ignore that? Yeah, that's just on Twitch.

Speaker 4:

Oh, okay, gotcha, Mr Pickles, what up party people but yeah, that one great name.

Speaker 2:

Mr Pickles, I don't care who you have advertising your beer. The can never got me in trouble.

Speaker 1:

The advertisements didn't get me in trouble, it was what was in the can right, got me in trouble so the reason I bring this up is and I talked about this with Amanda at home she is a very pro LGBTQ, as I am, but she is the type of person that actually takes a stand financially with businesses. Okay, like I had to talk her into going back to Chick-fil-A oh, you know, I'm like it's Chick-fil-A, it's a chicken sandwich, it's a chicken sandwich.

Speaker 4:

It's a Chick-fil-A. It's not that great anyway.

Speaker 1:

I think it's overrated.

Speaker 4:

I think Chick-fil-A is extremely overrated.

Speaker 1:

I think it's overrated Now, popeyes, I ate it all day long. Yeah, much like you're doing right now with lettuce wraps. The popcorn shrimp did not do me well.

Speaker 2:

Not a settling ride, is it no?

Speaker 1:

It was a long ride home from Greenfield. I can tell you that much I'm interested in this. Is there anything that like, for instance, these natural lights? Anheuser-busch? I was at a race over the weekend Eldora Dirt track racing. Gotta love it Absolutely. And love that place up there.

Speaker 4:

Lots of turning lefts.

Speaker 1:

A lot of turning lefts Actually turning right to go left, oh yes. Dirt track Cars. Yeah, lightning McQueen over there. Towmator, but one of the things that came up as I was driving up there. You're out in the middle of nowhere and I stop at a place and I don't give two shits what light beer I drink. Yeah, you know, I'll drink Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Light, Natural Light. Honestly, it does not matter.

Speaker 4:

And I'm not even restricted to the lights.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no, I enjoy the lights. What's up, mr Floyd?

Speaker 2:

Hello.

Speaker 1:

But I so I grab some Coors Lights and I go up there and it's a bunch of young kids Right. When I say young kids, they're early 20s.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was gonna say young, right.

Speaker 1:

Legally, you know, able to drink, and they, they give me shit all the time. What About? Well, I drink Bud Light and they're like, oh, you know, oh.

Speaker 2:

You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

And I'm like man, I don't give two shits what beer I drink, you know. But so I take Coors Light up this time. My favorite beer is free, Right, and I took Coors Light this time. It was on sale. They had these those tall boys in the aluminum cans.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I get up there and then they tell me like we don't drink that and I'm like I didn't see any, you know, like gender issues. And he's like they support gun rights or gun control. And I'm like, man, you guys draw a line and not drinking a beer because of gun rights, and they said, yeah, that's what they were telling me.

Speaker 3:

Really.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and so, oh, I had not heard that. No, and so it happens a lot. There's a lot of people that will not support organizations that are, in their minds, anti-gun. Okay, right, yeah, that's so. I'm not that guy. I don't have that fiber in me. Do you have anything that would keep you from buying a product?

Speaker 2:

No, nothing, only if it doesn't look good on me. Oh my God, no, I don't know. I have nothing, I don't care.

Speaker 1:

See, I don't See. You know, honestly, I think there's some things that would get me.

Speaker 4:

Really Like if I went to a place like an establishment to eat or something and the staff was always rude. I don't think I'd ever go back.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's more of a Just different things like that I'm talking about. Like what, if you found?

Speaker 4:

out their stance, or on something.

Speaker 1:

Like the owner was super nice. Yeah, food's amazing.

Speaker 4:

But he also likes to shoot dogs on the weekends.

Speaker 1:

But why would I know this? Because you can't keep a secret from anybody anymore about anything.

Speaker 2:

Obviously, look at you, you're gonna go play right, that's the whole point.

Speaker 1:

that's my whole point. My whole point is and and that's what I I wish I could tell these kids today is you know and we'll get into Hulk Hogan in a minute for the same reason is you can take an entire lifetime of really cool shit that people love you for and do one stupid fucking thing, and that's what people are going to remember about you, or at least a group of people Build a thousand bridges right, right, fuck one goat.

Speaker 5:

You're a goat fucker.

Speaker 2:

Don't judge me. Well, I didn't want to bring up names, given that right, oh, so that's where I'm at.

Speaker 1:

I honestly like, I'm uh, like, uh. Here's another one. Um, I believe the owner of jimmy john's likes to go go to Africa and shoot animals for sport. Oh, yeah, right, very popular amongst a lot of people, a lot of people. Right, amanda hated it and I'm not a fan of sport hunting, like, if you want to go out and hunt to feed your family and it happens to be an amazing buck and for some random ass reason, you want to hang a dead animal carcass on your wall, hey, more power to you.

Speaker 4:

I've got a lot of friends that love to hang dead animals on their walls. Right, we have one in our basement, but it's just because it's cool. It looks like he's got the Italian hooves.

Speaker 1:

It's a spicy meatball.

Speaker 4:

It's a spicy meatball.

Speaker 1:

But if you're going to process the meal, I'm okay with it right. They're going to eat it. The sport of shooting something.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, what happened to Papa John's? I mean, what did he love?

Speaker 1:

Same thing that Hulk Hogan, oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

Was that it? Yeah, man.

Speaker 1:

You can't Same thing got Paula Deen, paula Deen.

Speaker 5:

What's that. There's a lot behind that sport shooting, though I've learned Most of them it's like in very malnourished little tent neighborhoods basically.

Speaker 4:

They're actually funding the area to be able to do so. Well, they say that or they'll take the meat to the.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, they say the food all goes to the community and I mean we're like talking starving Ethiopians. You know why, I know that story's bullshit?

Speaker 1:

Why? And they want you to believe that shit? Why? Why not just give somebody in the village a fucking gun, so you don't need somebody to come all the way over if they've got a bunch of.

Speaker 2:

Maybe that's what they're doing out there teaching them?

Speaker 1:

Obviously not if they're all starving. They're not very good at it. No, that's my point, right. The idea would be it's either that or what an asshole that I have a gun and I'm not going to give it to you so that I can come over and you're going to tell me where they're at.

Speaker 4:

Well, it might be their beliefs to not use guns.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, and that's like their only job, too, is to be gods hunting gods.

Speaker 1:

Right. Well, I mean, that's what Sherpas do, yeah Right, getting people up that mountain. Nope, I'm out, no, so anyway. But I think there's probably some people that will tell you oh, we're hauling it off so people can eat on it, right. But at the same time, if they're really starving and the animal is literally 200 yards away, can you just leave them a gun?

Speaker 2:

I just heard a story today about Japan where they killed like 46 pilot whales just for fun.

Speaker 4:

Just for fun, did what.

Speaker 2:

They killed 46 pilot whales for fun.

Speaker 4:

What are pilot whales?

Speaker 2:

Just whales over there, yeah, oh, whales, whales, whales yeah.

Speaker 4:

I'm like what are we? They still whale over there. I'm like, what are we talking about? Because there's a group of people that go out there and try to stop them.

Speaker 2:

I forget the name of them, but he was on like the Interpol list Most wanted guy but they just took him off. I had to look it up and see what it was.

Speaker 1:

Does it bother you that they're shooting these whales for nothing? Yeah, for nothing yeah, what if it was a product Like? Are they not using?

Speaker 4:

any of the blubber for anything? No, they don't use it for anything anymore.

Speaker 2:

They're just going out there and doing it Like.

Speaker 1:

But here's the wild part, right, and here's the question and this is going off subject and I'll bring it back in a minute I'm still soberish enough to my thinking. So I honestly I believe that we only care about the size of the animal, or if it's cute, right, because if you could go out and kill 40 bluegill, nobody would give two shits.

Speaker 2:

Right, I like bluegill.

Speaker 1:

Right, but the moment I will take out an entire family of shrimp and be more than happy as long as they're deep fried, right. Some cocktail sauce Scampium. I don't care.

Speaker 2:

I love those ocean bugs, but you're eating them. They serve a purpose.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Well, how about if I go out and I'm just smashing lightning bugs to watch their ass light up as they fly through the air?

Speaker 4:

That's what my dog wants to do every morning at three in the morning.

Speaker 1:

My thing is to me it's fucked up. You shouldn't kill anything unless you're going to use it. Well, it's like Josh killed a snake outside their yard, outside their house, oh yeah we didn't want it in our house.

Speaker 4:

It was going like, towards, like, climbing up into them.

Speaker 1:

Do you have a window?

Speaker 4:

No, it was climbing, trying to get up in the siding.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that might be bad. A little nope rope action.

Speaker 4:

Well, I mean One nope rope, and then it has babies, and then you.

Speaker 1:

Oh, listen at her Now.

Speaker 4:

She sounds like All these effing snakes In the effing house.

Speaker 5:

Don't kill them, can't kill them. They'll go down with the whales. That's right. Feed them to the whales Feed them.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so anyway. Yeah, those yeah, so anyway. Yeah, those are instances of things that people don't like and they actually make decisions on it. Yeah, and I applaud people. Actually, I don't. I don't understand what the big the best way you can vote in this country really is with your pocketbook. Oh yeah, it's your money. How you want to spend your money is the best way for you to vote truthfully, that's how they'll change stuff.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, you would hope you would hope. No, it really is. I mean, that's what cancel culture is all about. It's really not what the individual says or what they do. It's more about the fear that people are going to not buy your product Right Because you're supporting them. You're supporting them because bud light got the beer can shot up because they supported someone that was transgender. Yeah, and that's the fear now, and so there are certain people in this country, in this world, that will let things like that affect their buying behavior, and apparently we are not those people. I think it's a Gen X thing. Yeah, I think it might be. I think there's. I'm with Andy Floyd on this one Kill all the mosquitoes, yeah get them all.

Speaker 1:

And the spiders. They kill more people than any other animal in the entire world.

Speaker 4:

Mosquitoes kill more people than sharks.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's. But honestly I hate when people say examples like that.

Speaker 3:

Why.

Speaker 1:

Only because who the fuck lives in the ocean?

Speaker 2:

Mosquitoes like I. Well, vending machines kill more people than sharks. Mosquitoes aren't everywhere.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they are.

Speaker 4:

Are they? Yeah, where Like I thought they needed more humid area, like I don't think that I've ever been like around like California and likevada and stuff and seen yeah, but you know what?

Speaker 1:

I've never heard of ever. No, a shark attack anywhere in the midwest. Yeah, not one. Safe up here, buddy, I can go to brookville lake right now I need no shark. No, they asked me a bluegill I'm gonna get me a bluegill and kill him brookville.

Speaker 2:

But I ain't gonna have no sure.

Speaker 1:

We were doing one of those what's the shit? Where they pull you up in the air on the boat, paragliding, parasailing, parasailing, and you have to ride it like a banana boat thing to get out there, which is kind of funny looking if you think about it.

Speaker 4:

Like a catamaran or whatever.

Speaker 1:

No, it's like a big yellow banana. Ok, it looks. Yeah, it looks phallic.

Speaker 4:

See, I was out on the catamaran both times I did.

Speaker 1:

So they take us out there and the guy that's taking us out there, somebody on the boat, asks hey, is it dangerous? He's like oh no, don't worry about that. He goes. Do you know? People are more likely to get bit by a dog than a shark. Yeah, and in my mind I go you fucking kidding me. Of course they are. There's dogs everywhere. If people had pet sharks and kept them in their yard and they got loose, then I'd probably see a higher so anyway, that was my only.

Speaker 1:

I apologize if I uh went at you on the shark thing.

Speaker 4:

That just it makes but we all know somebody that's been stung by jellyfish who's that? You've never. You don't know anybody that's been stung by I've been stung by a jellyfish well, who's that?

Speaker 2:

You've never, you don't know anybody that's been stung by a jellyfish.

Speaker 4:

I've been stung by a jellyfish. Well, yeah, now I know, now I know something. I've been stung by a jellyfish.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I have not, yeah but were we in the ocean? Yeah, not one time did it happen? In Brookville. You know what I'm saying. I give it. Your say All right, all right, and it's Shark Week, I think.

Speaker 3:

It is Shark Week it is.

Speaker 1:

Shark Week. I have a picture for that, do you?

Speaker 4:

Oh no, you don't.

Speaker 5:

Have you already put together the? Oh yeah, I got the thumbnail already. I have a separate Richmond, Indiana, Shark Week picture.

Speaker 2:

I can only imagine this oh I Week picture. I can only imagine this.

Speaker 5:

I'm nervous it would shut down the internet.

Speaker 4:

Oh yeah, oh right.

Speaker 1:

So we have determined that us Gen Xers don't give two shits about what the CEO is going to do. If we like the product, we're going to continue to support the product. It's really more about the product. Now I will say and I'm sure this impacts people more locally if you don't like the owner of an establishment, people are more likely because you know the individual.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I would agree on that, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And that's the interesting part the Epstein report. A lot of people probably don't want that thing to come out because it's not going to be just one side, it's going to hit a lot of people. And then you're going to be like man I can't buy their shit now.

Speaker 2:

Well, that same podcast I told you I listened to earlier today they talked about that. Last podcast on the left. No, this other one, which one? The one that was three hours long talking about the Idaho? Yeah, man, they got into that talking about the Epstein, and he was like a medical examiner in Atlanta and somewhere else he goes. Yeah, his bone in your neck when you get strangled by somebody was broken, and it doesn't happen when you kill yourself.

Speaker 3:

Ah, and there's video missing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he goes. Yeah, there's video missing. Yeah, he goes. Yeah, the only time I've seen that he goes was in 1976 and a guy driving a 60s Pontiac hit something and the steering wheel hit him under here under his chin, at the right angle.

Speaker 1:

That's the only time he's ever seen that broken. The only thing I'm curious, then, is why is the? I think it was his girlfriend. I don't think they were married, guilain oh yeah, maxwell. Why isn't she? I think it was his girlfriend. I don't think they were married, ghislaine oh yeah, maxwell. Why isn't she dead? Because you know she knows all the same shit that he does. Oh yeah, she was just a gopher. Yeah, but regardless, she knows who's implicated.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

You think that's why they went down there today and they told her you better not say a fucking word Like listen, I'm going to tell you, the next 20 years in prison means at least you get out, right, right, the last guy killed himself.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, quotation marks. Are you feeling?

Speaker 1:

depressed Right. One of those deals? No, all right.

Speaker 4:

So CEOs were good with. How about entertainers? I feel weird listening to P? Diddy or Puff Daddy, whatever the hell.

Speaker 1:

But do you still like Michael Jackson? I got her. It's even worse. It was multiple kids.

Speaker 2:

He was never found guilty though.

Speaker 3:

But he was How'd that happen, you wonder?

Speaker 2:

P Diddy had more money than him, right? No, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

What did he get he? Bought an Uber for more money than him, right? No, I don't know, yeah, and what did?

Speaker 3:

he get. He bought an Uber for a prostitute.

Speaker 1:

That's what he got busted for he did. That's all he got, right? He asked to go home even after being found guilty on one charge, right, he was like can I go home?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I think it was two. Yeah, but Could I go home?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think it was two, but it was like the two minor ones.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he's like can I go home?

Speaker 1:

And they were like no, you probably ought to come back. Oh, no, we'll keep you for a little bit. Yeah, I mean, can't make you go now. No, it's not like you diddled some kids.

Speaker 2:

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Well, like even that, like did he do it.

Speaker 1:

Hey, you know, and here's the thing, though, and we're going to talk this is why I love in the second half of the show is we talk about these stories, these booger-eating morons as I like to call them, that.

Speaker 3:

we're surrounded by yeah.

Speaker 1:

These are the people that are on the jury Right. You've only got to convince.

Speaker 3:

12 of those people.

Speaker 1:

Those people that, hey, you know, maybe I did, maybe I didn't.

Speaker 4:

It's that whole reasonable doubt.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, and I'm okay with that. Yeah, but you got to have a good lawyer to make sure they understand the reasonable doubt.

Speaker 3:

So there you go.

Speaker 1:

Are there artists that you do not support music wise because of their beliefs?

Speaker 3:

Michael Jackson Michael.

Speaker 1:

Jackson is still one of the most requested musics on classic hits that I used to do. He's still in the top five. People love his music. Wouldn't let him watch your kids, or Roman.

Speaker 2:

Plansky. There's another one Great movies. Don't watch my kids.

Speaker 1:

Right or the lead singer of Aerosmith, or.

Speaker 4:

Elvis Steven Tyler.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's another one, elvis.

Speaker 4:

Right.

Speaker 1:

That's a good point. Obviously, we don't care truthfully about our music if it's good music, if they're asshole people.

Speaker 2:

A lot of rappers. Most of them are assholes.

Speaker 1:

anyways, that's what I mean Right, we put up with a lot of shit because we just want to be entertained. I honestly think this is the best part about Gen X is we take shit in stride? Yeah, you know, it's like man if I hated on everything in this world.

Speaker 2:

I would have nothing, I wouldn't have nothing. I would have nothing to. I would have nothing. I would have nothing to listen to or watch or do Anywhere to go.

Speaker 1:

It's because I talked about Pete Rose on a previous episode, his affinity for the youngins One to this day. I am not a fan. I like the guy up until all of this Michael Vick.

Speaker 3:

If I with dogs.

Speaker 1:

It's bad for me. That was a big ring, Flat earth stuff that doesn't bother me. That just means somebody's a fucking idiot if they make good music. I'll be honest with you. Kanye West is a struggle because his music is amazing, but he is a trash human being.

Speaker 2:

He is out there, he is definitely out there.

Speaker 4:

He suffers from some serious mental instabilities.

Speaker 1:

He wears swastika clothing. Yeah, as a black man.

Speaker 4:

The irony is just out there.

Speaker 1:

But I don't know, man Gold Digger comes on. I still dig that tune.

Speaker 4:

The funniest part is that he ended up marrying Kim Kardashian after that song.

Speaker 1:

Muhammad Ali got into a lot of trouble. People loved him. At the end of his life he didn't want to go and fight in Vietnam. Changed his name to Muhammad Ali. A lot of people didn't. Yeah, he's a bully for sure. And claims it as art. Wow, jeremy Screddy. There you art. Wow, jeremy Scretty.

Speaker 3:

There you go, buddy.

Speaker 1:

Jeremy, I needed you this week, man, because I wanted to get your opinion about the Epstein list. Just kidding, enjoy your time with him. Oh yeah, there you go. Uh, music was the other one, you know.

Speaker 2:

Michael Jackson, I think we do, we take, like you said, we take it in stride, if it happens, we're like oh shit, that sucks. I'm still going to listen.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the one that came up for me this week was it just happened today. So people say that death's coming three, yeah, but I mean people are always dying. We're old, right? So a lot of people, we that were good.

Speaker 4:

Well, two of them were in their 70s, but, like Malcolm Jamal Warner.

Speaker 2:

That was a riptide to got him.

Speaker 1:

See, I don't know anything about that. Dude Wasn't a shark, no.

Speaker 4:

I recently watched him on the Resident and. I loved him on the Resident.

Speaker 1:

Now, here's the difference, though. So hulk hogan passes today and, uh, one of the things that uh a lot of people are chatting about, um, it's either one thing or the other. It's admiration, or they bring up the fact that he dropped the hard r a couple times, discussing his uh daughter's um significant other.

Speaker 4:

Yeah right and see, I never knew about that until you said that and that's know it was funny.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it wasn't real popular, it wasn't.

Speaker 1:

No, no, well, but it's funny because he just showed up in January at a Raw that was held in I believe it was the Staples Center, and it was a big deal because it was the first night that WWE was debuting on Netflix. It was going worldwide, yeah. Wwe was debuting on Netflix. It was going worldwide, yeah, and he came out and they booed him off the stage.

Speaker 2:

They did it mercifully. They booed him, booed and booed. Because he came out to talk about his beer and gone, yeah, and it was not well received.

Speaker 1:

But another aspect is the wrestlers. That the black wrestlers they won't have anything to do with him Like when he shows up, Obviously now you know why, Right right, right, right. And so that's the hard part for me is, as I go back every time, somebody like Pete Rose and I bring up the fact that he dated a 14-year-old but convinced everybody it was okay because he told everybody she was 16.

Speaker 1:

And that was consensual in Ohio at the time. Just how does that conversation start? The consensual age, Like you know, they agreed on 16. Somebody had to have thrown out a lower number. It was probably like someone like Pete Rowe 14.

Speaker 2:

14.

Speaker 1:

I meant 16. 16. I don't want to be creepy.

Speaker 4:

Well, there you go At least help her with her SATs.

Speaker 1:

Yeah the thing with a guy like Hulk Hogan you get both sides of the story.

Speaker 1:

People either love him or yeah, you know, and that's the one thing is, we've been doing this now for over eight years. If people go back and look at some of the shit we've said, I'm sure, well, I've been called a misogynist already. Oh yeah, I know that we've made jokes that are probably insensitive to certain cultures, right, I'm just being honest. Oh yeah, absolutely. And if you go back through and dig through all these things and one day, if you and I and you ever actually make it doing this, then people are going to be like, oh, look at this shit right here and you can't blah, blah, blah. I've done a lot worse.

Speaker 2:

Fine you bitches.

Speaker 5:

Well, look at the Espy's.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5:

I've never heard of the Espy's until Shane Gillis.

Speaker 1:

Really, yeah, oh they got into a big deal a few years ago outside of the sports world because it was oh the Kardashians' mom, dad, dad, mom.

Speaker 2:

No, Jenner.

Speaker 1:

Jenner, bruce, bruce, caitlyn Caitlyn. Thank you, thank you. They named her like the woman athlete of the year and people flipped out about it over a fake award show. I don't get that either. People flip out about the Oscars and just change the channel. Man, you ain't got to watch it.

Speaker 5:

Well, it's just like being offended from everything, like if somebody just watched Kill Tony one time they would lose their. You know what I mean. It's comedy, it's comedy, it is. This is comedy.

Speaker 1:

Well, and the hard part about comedy is so we started this whole thing out of do you draw a line of where you're okay with a CEO doing something? And I think what we have all agreed on is there probably is a line.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But it's really really out there.

Speaker 4:

I think we're selfish human beings and unless it directly affects us.

Speaker 1:

Right, right. I think we're selfish human beings unless it directly affects us. Right Right Now. Comedy the hard part for comedy is a comedian is supposed to go right up to that line.

Speaker 4:

Oh, I love watching Jeff Ross. Do I ever want to be on his show? Absolutely not.

Speaker 1:

But go up to that line, but not go over it. Yeah, but the thing about our culture is the line moves. What was funny in the 80s is not funny in 2025. Yeah, but the thing about our culture is the line moves. Oh yeah, what was funny in the 80s is not funny in 2025. No, no no.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and so there you go, eric Eller's good comics. Punch up. It's very true, yeah. Yeah, I am more of a self-deprecating humorist. Oh yeah, you and me both. I punch mostly myself, yes, humorist. Oh yeah, you and me both, yeah.

Speaker 4:

I punch mostly myself.

Speaker 1:

Yes, you know like a big brother, why are you hitting yourself?

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I almost said something when you were bringing up divorce statistics earlier. I was like, hey, I account for a couple of them.

Speaker 2:

I think I've seen a stat about that 43% of couples would divorce each other for a million dollars. Shit, shit.

Speaker 1:

I'm telling you right now, Wayne County would be like 40,000. I think the number's probably higher. Oh my God. It's funny, though, like we talk about, I didn't look up how many marriages actually occurred in 2022, only the number of divorces 675,000 divorces. I mean that's a ton of divorces, right? My question is how many people are still married? It's like like man if I could wake up and snap my fingers or men in black that person they like their memory right like I can get out of this without being the asshole matter they would do it.

Speaker 1:

Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong. There are probably a few out there. I had a lady at my old job. One time she goes. Do you ever had a relationship where you just kind of wish the other person would die? Oh my gosh, you know it's not like that.

Speaker 4:

You know like you want it to be over but you can't leave. You don't want to be the dick in the situation.

Speaker 1:

That's what she told me she's like you know, like you just want them to die, and I'm like, no, that's pretty morbid.

Speaker 3:

I will just be like, hey, it's not working out.

Speaker 1:

Right man Wow.

Speaker 2:

You never know what's going to happen.

Speaker 1:

I don't want to death pond somebody. No, I know. All right, Now I'll tell you what let's. Yeah, so there you go. Andy Floyd, Remember when Weekend Update on SNL called out Wayne County for having the highest divorce?

Speaker 3:

rate in the country? Yeah right.

Speaker 1:

I do. And, as a matter of fact, here's the wild part about Richmond, indiana. I love it here. It's my home, it's always been my home. We have our flaws, just like everywhere else. Right, and when I tell people about that or that our high school had a daycare for our own students?

Speaker 3:

to bring their kids.

Speaker 4:

What? Yes, it's a wild city. Probably still wanted them to graduate and do something. No, I'm all for it. I'm all for it.

Speaker 1:

It's just like you know, wayne County. I used to tell people if there is someone that you are romantically interested in and they're married, just wait a couple years, catch them on the rebound. It's coming. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 5:

Let me tell you I can't get him in there, all right, I deleted Bumble because you know what's better than the dating website the court cases. You can legit go to IndianaGov my case and if you got your sights on a woman you can just type her name in there and they'll tell you if they're filed or not?

Speaker 1:

Oh wow, oh, my gosh Divorce, I'm telling you.

Speaker 5:

Hey, just for the people watching that are single, that's just a good way.

Speaker 1:

I'm telling you Wait a couple years, they'll be on the market.

Speaker 4:

I can tell you, wait a couple years after they divorce too, because they're going to go through some wild times first.

Speaker 5:

Oh yeah, I'm watching. You don't want to be the first one.

Speaker 2:

Some people do.

Speaker 1:

Bang, bang, bang bang. All right, all Bang it all.

Speaker 4:

It's like a Tommy gun.

Speaker 2:

You know everyone. I said a bang Bang bang, bang.

Speaker 1:

I will say and this is going to come back. See, this is the Eric Ehlers thing. We're talking about self-deprecating humor. This is a personal story. I remember when I was going through my divorce and we had to go to parenting class. It was a requirement. Why are you laughing at me? I already told you this story and I go in there and I was like shit, this is like the prime opportunity to scout for talent Every woman in here I know is about to be fresh on the market.

Speaker 2:

How you doing.

Speaker 1:

You start shooting your shot and I'm going through there like shit man, this is Wayne County, like people are, like it's so hard to date in Richmond and I'm like, yes, it is hard to catch a lake trout when you're fishing in the sewer.

Speaker 2:

And you're catching brown.

Speaker 1:

Big brown shark game.

Speaker 3:

Big brown shark game yeah there's when the brown sharks come Floating in the water, oh man, All right Well we would typically take a pause for the cause.

Speaker 1:

I think it's time to go ahead and jump into our news stories. We need beers. Yeah, let's grab a beer. Actually, I want to call out a shout out here to my buddy, eric Ellers, who sent me something. You know, in addition to Hulk Hogan and Malcolm Jamal Warner, we talked about the threes Ozzy Osbourne passed away, and you know there's just certain people that you know, like they're living for that one last moment.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, you know, and the guy performed like two and a half weeks ago and he got his swan song in and it goes.

Speaker 2:

He said he stopped taking all medication so he could perform.

Speaker 1:

Now one of the things that Eric shared with me, and I wasn't aware of this until today. I've always been a fan of the Prince of Darkness. I think he's a funny guy, yeah, and I think he got a bad rap because he was on some pretty intense drug usage for a long time.

Speaker 2:

Very much so.

Speaker 1:

And did some silly things, but he was very pro-LGBTQ even way back into the 80s, and so there you go. I think you know we have a tendency to share all the negative shit about people when they pass, but maybe we should focus more on the positive shit, the good stuff, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I mean especially him. Yeah, Like it's everywhere. Yeah, I mean especially him. Yeah, Like it's everywhere.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I heard a story today. He was on Howard Stern and he talked about how he ended up at Betty Ford. Have you heard this story?

Speaker 2:

No, I don't know Probably, but I don't.

Speaker 1:

Sharon had convinced him that if you go to Betty Ford they're going to teach you to be a proper drinker.

Speaker 1:

Oh no, Because he said I drank like a pirate. He's like it was bad. He goes. So she told me if I go to Betty Ford, they're just going to make me a polished drinker. Oh wow, so he goes. I show up in my Armani suit, I've got my tie on and when I walked in there, he goes. Can you tell me where the cocktail bar is? And they look. He said they looked at me like I just landed from Mars.

Speaker 3:

Oh, it's better than the lead singer Green Jelly.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he did today. No.

Speaker 1:

Green Jelly. Yeah, the little pig, the little pig let me in.

Speaker 2:

He posted a meme of Ozzy holding a sign one day sober.

Speaker 4:

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2:

And they're lighting his ass up.

Speaker 1:

Oh my gosh. Wow, yeah, you know, it's funny when I can hear him through the glass.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, he posted that and everybody's lightened Not happy about it.

Speaker 1:

You know how. You know you have a good marriage. No, when you can get tricked into going into rehab and when you come out you don't get divorced, you don't get divorced.

Speaker 2:

No, I mean all the shit he put her through, oh man.

Speaker 1:

You know, and one of the things he made the comment, oh my God you know. And one of the things he made the comment because he goes. I learned a few things in there, but he was very truthful about it. He said unless you want to cure your addiction, whatever it is, it's not going to work. You have to want it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And you may go to rehab because you're court ordered, or maybe you feel like you should too, because your family got you.

Speaker 2:

It's not because you want to, it's because you're ready to go and maybe you're partially convinced.

Speaker 1:

Right, but it's like losing weight or anything else in life. You have to be 100% committed, absolutely. Yeah, you can't drink two nights a week and be like, oh, I'm going to be better, right? No, I mean, you gotta, it's one or the other, yep. Anyway, all right, are we ready to get into the light?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so these are the people that uh that make the world interesting. Oh my gosh, like what the?

Speaker 1:

fuck. Actually, I'm going to go into a survey. I read and I found this just interesting as hell In a new survey, 53% of Americans said they have peed in a pool as an adult. Have you ever peed in a pool as an adult, have you?

Speaker 2:

ever peed in a pool as an adult? That's a fucking little. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you know how I know people, and if you haven't, you lie. Oh bitch, you lie like a bro.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to tell you right now how I know for sure one hundo that people, as adults, piss in pools. Aj and I were on a cruise uh, I think it was last year, the year before and, um, we're in this pool, yeah, and they had these certain chairs that uh, like sat in the water, but they were like yeah, and they were amazing. Yeah, but there was only like eight and there's like 5 000 people on this ship, right, yep and they don't want to move.

Speaker 4:

No, because they will lose their spot.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and I sat there and watch these people drink daiquiris and margaritas all day and not one person had to get up to go pee.

Speaker 2:

Not a movement.

Speaker 1:

No, eli's sack of shit. You know how yeah, because I'm going to tell you right now, if you went with Kim to a pool, if she didn't piss in the pool, she'd be out every 40 minutes.

Speaker 4:

I don't do it anymore.

Speaker 2:

I just said I've done it as an adult. No, I don't Like. I can tell you I do right now. Last year in Myrtle Beach. You give me a pull right now I'll go pan it.

Speaker 1:

Actually, you know what this is? A great lead up to our second, Actually.

Speaker 2:

Actually, I'm going to have to get in the pool first. Hold on, no, here was one that was weird to me.

Speaker 4:

You're invoking all of our pool privileges. Man, Listen to this one.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to give you a stat and you tell me what you think the percentage is.

Speaker 4:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Okay, both of you Okay.

Speaker 4:

And, kevin, I want yours too. I couldn't see anyway.

Speaker 1:

Right. Well, and it's a weird angle, they would not report a poop in a community or hotel pool because it may lead to the pool being closed down. How many of Americans? 63%, god damn, that's a lot.

Speaker 4:

I'm going to go with 43.

Speaker 1:

God, you guys think people are just gross. Absolutely, it's only 23. But that's still disgusting to me.

Speaker 2:

It's a candy bar, right.

Speaker 1:

What was?

Speaker 2:

he so bad Baby roof.

Speaker 1:

23% of Americans said they would not report poop in a community pool.

Speaker 4:

Because they would shut it down for a day.

Speaker 2:

Yes, they want to keep swimming. Well, that's like that pool they just opened up in Central Park. It was free, now they're all shitting in it Really. Yes, oh, oh, wow.

Speaker 1:

so now you're gonna have to pay to get in oh man well we used to call municipal pool.

Speaker 1:

We'd call it municipal poo actually there was a stat, and I didn't write this one down I should have, because this is an amazing stat. It was like 11 or something of people that would intentionally clean the poop out themselves to make sure the pool didn't get closed. Oh wow, and I'm like I hope you're using a net. I just can't imagine somebody shitting in the pool and then me thinking, ah, you know, it's all right, I've been at at a water park.

Speaker 2:

Well, like great wolf and you know, unfortunately like a little kid has done it. So they closed off that section until they can get it cleaned up.

Speaker 4:

I think that that's why baby pool sections are more popular now at almost every community pool, where they have the big pool and a little kitty pool.

Speaker 1:

Amanda brought up family vacay looks a little different.

Speaker 3:

And.

Speaker 1:

I'll tell you, I think people should have to punch a clock when they get in that pool, and I know how long it's been since they've gotten out.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I'm like, come on, man well I was saying no, that's what I was saying. Is that myrtle beach? It was like super easy because they had like a little shower over there, but then we're just all like I'm gonna look in the eye while I'm doing it.

Speaker 2:

You'll never know.

Speaker 1:

Right if all of a sudden, I'm just standing still and then just immediately swim away, if I walk away real quick.

Speaker 4:

So I can tell you, as an adult, I'm still nervous, like do you remember when you were a kid and they were like, oh, they put this stuff in the water? That if you pee it makes it turn purple, or whatever.

Speaker 2:

I did it on purpose to see.

Speaker 4:

Fuck that I ain't going on vacation with this Hypercolor.

Speaker 1:

Speaking of pissing, here's an interesting. Andy Floyd brought that one up. That's one of my favorite. Who was the? It was the kid that played Dr Evil's son. Oh yeah, he did that comedy show where, like he would.

Speaker 4:

Is his name Seth or something? Yeah?

Speaker 1:

He would pull gags on people. Yeah, and there was one where he was a lifeguard at a pool and he whistled and got on like the megaphone and said I need everybody to get out of the pool, I need to go take a bathroom break, so everybody gets out of the pool.

Speaker 4:

I need to go take a bathroom break. So everybody gets out of the pool and he jumps into the pool.

Speaker 3:

He gets off his chair climbs in and goes like this and then gets out and gets back on set three. Thank you, josh. Thank you Josh.

Speaker 1:

And still watching people's reactions around this oh my God. Classic joke.

Speaker 4:

All right, but did they show how many people still got back in All?

Speaker 1:

of them, all of them, because it was hot, I'm sure. A 30-year-old ad exec from New York was arrested in downtown St Petersburg in good old Florida on Saturday last week after he got drunk at a rooftop bar and started peeing off of it. Oh no.

Speaker 2:

At least it's better than a chair again.

Speaker 4:

I was going to say I don't know, you can dodge a chair and you dodge a pee.

Speaker 1:

His name is Matthew Day. It's not clear if he was in town for work or pleasure, but he was obviously partying. According to the police report, he was on a rooftop bar called the Landing around 1.30 in the morning when he whipped his junk out and peed off the side. What's gross is he hit several people on the sidewalk below.

Speaker 2:

I bet he did he was sending out golden showers.

Speaker 1:

Dude, it's only two stories. Stop it. He was only around 15 feet, I told you.

Speaker 2:

I just guess It'd be like doing it right on you. What are you doing I? Saw you I just guess It'd be like doing it right. What are you doing?

Speaker 3:

I saw you in the two Stahoris.

Speaker 2:

Come on now I can see you Come on.

Speaker 1:

He's also the co-founder and head of Client Success, an ad agency.

Speaker 2:

Come on, he used the pool like everybody else.

Speaker 1:

No, he wasn't screwing anybody. He was just pissing on them. He used the pool like everybody else. Come on Speaking of out of control drinkers in the good old state of Florida. A 38-year-old man in Florida named Christopher Spain is facing charges after troopers say he took his riding mower onto a busy highway while drunk. Okay, on the highway. Yeah yeah, it was also a toll road, so it's unclear if he had his wallet with him or if he planned.

Speaker 2:

That's the only reason they arrested him because he didn't pay his toll. Yeah, he's like no, no, it's cool.

Speaker 3:

I mowed the medians.

Speaker 1:

We're taking it out in trade. I'm good. This is my other favorite part of the splash zone they put a sign down there splash zone warning.

Speaker 2:

What's that splash?

Speaker 1:

zone. I still love the video from earlier in the year of when the killer whale took the shit in the pool and then came around and splashed it on people tell me those animals aren't smart. Did you hear? They're starting to bring dead animals to humans as like prizes? Oh yeah they're smart animals. Killer whales are bringing dead fish and stuff to humans as like a gift.

Speaker 2:

Now is it? What? Is it Whales or dolphins that are? I think it's whales. They're killing seals and wearing them as hats. Yeah yeah, they put them on their head and swim around like cats. They stop for a while, they don't know why, but then they're back doing it again.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's less woke, they went through a fur's murder. Oh God.

Speaker 2:

How do they learn this Out in the wild, just like hey.

Speaker 1:

Look at that I did see where the puffer fish. They release a toxin. They're actually really dangerous. Yeah, and they punch it with their nose on purpose.

Speaker 2:

They're out there freebasing on fish.

Speaker 1:

Oh man, it's awesome. Well, so this guy this is my other favorite part of this story. Not only is he drunk on a state highway, on a lawnmower and a toll road, the Florida Highway Patrol started getting calls last Friday morning. At 8.30 in the morning he was driving his lawnmower. At 830 in the morning, oh shit, he was driving his lawnmower erratically in the southbound lanes. When officers arrived, they say Christopher showed several signs of impairment. Just a few, including small pupils, flushed skin, dry mouth and a visible irritation and driving a mower on the highway.

Speaker 1:

And a visible irritation to the inside of his nose. A mower on the highway and a visible irritation to the inside of his nose. You think that's why you think they needed all those signs, or was it just the fact that he was on a lawnmower?

Speaker 2:

At 8 o'clock in the morning, at 8 o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 1:

There it is right there. Oh man, this is a nice mower A little twin stick action.

Speaker 4:

I would drive that thing erratically. I am so scared of those.

Speaker 2:

Really drive that thing erratically. I am so scared of those. Really, I've never driven one and I don't know that I want to, because I know that I'd hit right into a tree. We saw ones that have joysticks, which are nice. Nah, you'd figure it out, it's just one hand.

Speaker 3:

Look at this guy God, he's still fucked up, look at him right there, did it say what he blew.

Speaker 1:

No, he wouldn't take it. That's messed up.

Speaker 4:

I have a feeling the other reason that the inside of his nostril was a little tender was because he looks like Kill Tony the old booger sugar. Oh shit.

Speaker 2:

He kind of looks, I see it. He's like I'm going to pull a name out of the bag. Yeah, jeez.

Speaker 1:

A man in Nevada has been arrested after police say he was seen chugging a bottle of Tabasco sauce and then challenging random people to fight him in the parking lot of his sporting goods store.

Speaker 4:

That's a Friday night for me. That's JP right there 48-year-old Michael Smith.

Speaker 1:

It's unclear what the guy's deal was.

Speaker 2:

If I've learned anything in?

Speaker 1:

life. I think it's the whole bottle of Tabasco sauce. Don't fuck with anybody that chugs Tabasco sauce A whole bottle. Oh, he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia. No, it doesn't say the bottle of hot sauce was disposed of. It doesn't say what the weapon was.
