#192 After 2 Beers: The Internet Is Lying To You And You Keep Falling For It
The bow-on-the-hood moment looks great on TV, but what happens when a surprise 90,000 dollar purchase runs headfirst into real life, real budgets, and real trust? We kick things off on the back porch with the kind of money talk most people avoid. Simple rules. Honest limits. The difference between a thoughtful gift and a financial grenade. If you have ever tried to balance independence with a shared future, this one hits close to home.
Then things get weird. A family unknowingly drives their “deceased” aunt 300 miles to a cremation only to hear knocking from the coffin. A bald eagle drops a cat through a windshield. And the internet convinces people that smearing menstrual blood on their face is a beauty secret. We laugh, we cringe, and then we dig into why this stuff spreads so fast and how to keep your common sense intact when the algorithm rewards chaos.
We also talk about a long-term Norwegian study that claims heavy teenage drinking leads to later success. It is the kind of headline built to get clicks, so we slow it down and unpack what really matters. Community matters. Connection matters. And survivorship bias is real. For parents, we share practical guardrails that actually work, from setting money boundaries to building safe spaces without glorifying bad decisions.
We close on something quieter. Anxiety that shows up without warning, especially around the holidays. If you feel it, you are not alone. We have been there. Small routines help. Talking helps. Checking in on someone else helps even more.

Welcome to the After Two Beers Podcast. I'm Dutch Dalton, joined as always by Kimmy Gibler. That's me. That's Kimberly Ross. Thank you for being here. Yes. Michael Summers. What's going on? In the uh the studio or the uh the uh the mother bullpen bullpen. We'll call it the bullpen. Uh Mr. Jeremy Freddy is hanging out in there. Nick Jones, AJ, and our good buddy Kevin Shook here at Global Media Enterprise is hanging out in there. Uh before we get going, just want to send some uh quick thank yous out to uh some people that are making all this possible. Uh we're still doing trivia now at the firehouse, and it's been going great. Man, people love it. Absolutely love it. At houses every night.

SPEAKER_05:Continue to drink.
SPEAKER_04:Yes.
SPEAKER_01:I still think we need to play Ceram McLaughlin during that. Only$3 a month.
SPEAKER_04:We'll just lock each other in cages, looking sad. I heard a comedian one.
SPEAKER_01:The person hasn't had a beer in a whole week.
SPEAKER_04:They said the comedian was like, Sometimes I make my dogs watch these commercials so they know how to busy got it. Uh lastly, uh, we want to thank the bottle shop who hooks us up with uh great libations on the regular. Tonight, I picked up a bottle of rumpel mints. Now, the reason I did this is this is something that I become notoriously known for here locally. Oh yeah, or uh Rumpel or uh Patron. But uh Rumpel mints is the one that I've taken all over the world, and I've made people pissed off the next morning at me in multiple states, multiple countries. Or little malort. Malort is not for me. That stuff is horrible. Uh Rumpel's Rumpel mints, uh, I like to call it Christmas in your mouth or Santa Jes, or uh what did I call it to you guys the other day? Um oh, it was something knob from his uh anyway. Yeah, it had to be there. He had to be there. Don't worry about it.
SPEAKER_01:We don't remember.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, this podcast is brought to you by Rumpel Mints and Natural Light, both of which are available at the bottle shop. All right. I think we're gonna get started before uh we get into our first. Um I'm still trying to come up with a name for this, like the back porch breakdown. Oh, yeah. It's something like that. You know, where we're just out drinking beer. Yeah, we're gonna talk about couples, like our bonfire topics. Bonfire topics, yeah. Uh, we'll got that coming up, but uh I wanted to talk about some of the news stories we got coming up later in the show. We've got a story about a family in Thailand that went into took they took their drove their aunt 300 miles to have her cremated. And uh, well, when they got there, she found out she wasn't dead yet. Well, that's it. She was inside the coffin knocking. We're gonna talk about that. Come on now, North Carolina.
SPEAKER_01:She pulled a never mind.
SPEAKER_04:I'm not mad. Bald eagles are dropping birds on cars on the interstate. We got that story coming up. America. The uh the most disgusting beauty trend I have ever heard of. Oh, which fun. People are smearing menstrual blood on their faces. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_01:You've uh she's heard of it. I've heard of it.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. I've seen the tiki talk. Yeah, not in a good way either. Yeah. Is there a good way? Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02:Depends on what kind of relationship you're in. Who was I just talking? No. I was just talking to you about super bad in the in the scene where he's riding us.
SPEAKER_04:What is this? What is this? Uh we got a story coming up that claims that binge drinking as a teenager leads to success later in life. What the hell happened to me then? Yeah, we're gonna chat about that. We mentioned on the last show about bear attacks in Japan. Yeah. They're building shelters for you now. I told you shit's on the rising. Lastly, my favorite story in a long, long, long time. Two wannabe warlords from Texas have bothered to invade a Haitian island and kill all the men, which were about 49,000. And enslave the females. Oh. Good luck, two of you.
SPEAKER_05:They worked for over a year on this. Yes.
SPEAKER_04:They learned to speak the native tongue.
SPEAKER_05:Yes. They were getting ready to head over.
SPEAKER_04:Oh.
SPEAKER_05:This is how they got caught.
SPEAKER_04:Uh, the FBI was involved, the local authority. We'll talk about it. Okay, yeah, we'll talk about that in a minute. All that's coming up later in the show.
SPEAKER_05:Holy cow, we missed that the last time we did one. I was like, how did we miss it? I sent it to you.
SPEAKER_04:How do we miss this shit? I don't know. I'm I was disappointed in myself, honestly. I felt like I dropped.
SPEAKER_01:You got real upset about that. I did. Amazing.
SPEAKER_04:I was dropped the ball. Sad I wasn't invited to go. All right. Now, before we get into the old good old conversation of people being idiots all over the world, yeah. Uh, we're gonna talk about our back porch breakdown. Uh, we it's basically like you're having a couple of drinks, you're hanging out the bonfire, you're hanging down your back porch, yeah. Uh, whatever you're doing, just letting it, you know, letting the hair down. Maybe you've had a little rumple mints in the cousins and uncles and aunts are over for Christmas and whatever you got going on. Yeah, you're just talking about topics. Now, the topic that I get into, and I still love these fucking commercials, is uh, and I wanted to bring it up, it's gonna loosely tie into our relationship discussion. But um I, you know, commercials are supposed to be a little outlandish anyway. I don't believe MMs can really talk. So I haven't found a way to exist. Right. But the one that gets me at Christmas time every year is the uh vehicle commercials, yeah, where um the one that I keep seeing now, I think I don't know if it's Dodge or who it is, but uh the uh the husband or the male.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I was gonna say I think it's a Toyota days.
SPEAKER_04:Toyota, I don't know. Um he brought he bought the girl a dog, very cute puppy. Yeah. And she's like, oh, well, that's awesome. Look what I got you. And then at this time, a$90,000 truck comes up and over the top of the hill. Now, this thing was so staged out that she had to have had her phone on and she had to have somebody else drive in the truck. If he had wrecked that.
SPEAKER_05:He got me a dog.
SPEAKER_04:Awesome. Can you imagine if he had wrecked that truck coming up over the top of that hill?
SPEAKER_05:Took out the dog.
SPEAKER_03:Wow.
SPEAKER_05:Way different commercial.
SPEAKER_03:Way different.
SPEAKER_04:So I got S and L skit. Yes. I you know, now the thing about this is clearly this is a perfect wealthy couple. Right. You know, they're out there, some where you'll see the matching pajamas where they run out front and there's a car on the car bow. Yeah. I'd be pissed off knowing what they paid for the bow.
SPEAKER_05:Right? You know that's not cheap. No.
SPEAKER_01:On top of that, these are people that obviously don't have a joint account.
SPEAKER_05:Now we have an$800 car payment.
SPEAKER_01:Jesus Christ, Lady.
SPEAKER_04:How about the ones where they get they get couples' vehicles?
SPEAKER_05:Oh, yeah. His and hers. Yeah, make it easy, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Maserati's. Yeah. Somebody's selling blow.
SPEAKER_05:That's all I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02:We're giving it. Yeah. Right. That's a great point.
SPEAKER_04:Only fans nowadays. You never know what it could be. Anybody can do anything.
SPEAKER_02:You can make a side hustle and Bonnie Blue got arrested. Did you see that story? Who? Bonnie Blue, the uh the OnlyFans porn star. She's driving on a bus in Europe and it's a blue van and she's banging whoever gets in the bus with her. Jesus. So they took her to jail.
SPEAKER_04:That's wild. People in Richmond do that, but they're just called whores. They're just trying to get their next thing.
SPEAKER_02:That's why chamellia's on the rise. Got her in the middle. I saw that. That is on the rising town.
SPEAKER_04:I honestly had hopefully nobody would bring it up. Yeah, as we share the bottle of 13 partners.
SPEAKER_02:They all have chameleon now.
SPEAKER_04:I love you all, but we're gonna have to figure this out. We're gonna have to get the hunter proof. That kills shit, so it's good. No, I'm talking about if we're one of us is talking, let's let them finish their thought. You guys are all excited. You come running out of the blocks, running all over each other. Uh yeah, Jeremy, I did see that this week. That uh at one time, Richmond, Wayne County had the lot of the highest gonorrhea testing in the in the state. I think it was gonerria. Per capita. May have been chlamydia. It is now though.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, that's wild. People out there just smashing. It reminds me of the Dave Chappelle with the uh they had the STDs that came dancing in. That's the thing. It's the same eight people giving it back and forth just around. Oh, they just keep going. Well, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Anyway.
SPEAKER_04:Uh so that's coming up. But anyway, I want to get back to this couple situation here. I want to know, uh, Jeremy, you're married. And um I'm as it's Kim and I are basically married. Not to each other, but uh essentially married. And uh Pudding, you've been married.
SPEAKER_06:Uh my question is have uh you guys. I don't know how to handle this.
SPEAKER_04:I'll be honest with you, the moment I started talking about you and I was like, this is fuck this up. Yeah, sorry. Anyway, it's fine.
SPEAKER_03:Let's have another shot on that.
SPEAKER_04:I'll drink to that. Jeremy, you walk home right now and you made a$90,000 purchase decision by yourself with no input from the missus. How does that go over? I'm so fucked.
SPEAKER_02:It's so bad.
SPEAKER_04:What if she had done the opposite? What if she's the one that comes home and says, hey, I just bought me a$90,000 vehicle?
SPEAKER_02:That's awesome, babe.
SPEAKER_05:You're so full of shit.
SPEAKER_02:Well, that just stops a fight.
SPEAKER_01:Good job, babe.
SPEAKER_02:So I mean, I I've learned, you know, I mean, I guess if that's what you want. You're so full of shit. You're so full of shit. That's what you want. Go get it. Oh, yes. If I would have done it, you're right. It would have been. Oh, that shit goes both ways. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:What if it was something else that she had bought then?$90,000 for a lot of money.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, that would be a big conversation. Like, what are we selling next to get out of this? I need to sell a testicle, a couple of things.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, a few more fireworks shows there, but I'd have to be, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I mean, that's a that's an expensive vehicle.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, it is an expensive vehicle. I had a buddy in college, I talked to him right after we graduated, and he said he almost got divorced because he had bought a PlayStation 2. Oh shit. Yeah, it was like$300, and they were a new couple. Yeah. And it was I guess what I'm trying to get at is it's less about the fact that it's a$90,000 truck. It's what are you comfortable with with your partner making a purchase on that you're not involved in?
SPEAKER_01:Like if if is there a dollar amount?
SPEAKER_04:Am I paying for it? Maybe, maybe. I think some relationships they establish that.
SPEAKER_01:Well, some relationships they still have money separate too. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_04:I I don't I hear everything you're saying, right? But let's let's even talk about that. So AJ and I have separate uh accounts as well, right? But in reality, if you're living with someone in that home and your plan is to be with them for the rest of your life, then technically everything you're spending impacts that person too. Because if you have more funds, you could help them pay off their debt or vice versa, or you retire sooner, or you make an enhancement to the home. So even though it's not a joint account, yeah. Hey, but my point is, is there a dollar limit that you make a you talk? I can press trouble.
SPEAKER_02:When you talk, I uh when you're done, I'm gonna comment.
SPEAKER_04:Let's say hypothetically, somebody was like, you know what? I've been busting my ass, entertaining people with things that blow up. Yeah, and I feel like I deserve a custom driver. Ooh.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Like golf driver? Like maybe 600 bucks.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, that ain't bad. Yeah. But even though you're like, I probably shouldn't mention this at the house. Wink wink. We're having a ship to the podcast.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, now it's my turn. My turn.
SPEAKER_04:My point being is clearly$600 was a threshold at his home.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. It's not a threshold. It's just when you work for things, okay? When you work for things, you talk about things, when you're married, like like Dalton said, you work so you can make your lives better, right? So you can pay off your debts, live debt-free, eventually retire, do whatever you want, right? So when you have purchases like that, it has to be talked about. 600 bucks is a lot of money. Okay, that's a car payment, it's an extra house payment, whatever you want to call it. But bring in money, I do this and that. I feel like as long as I don't, if that's the worst thing I do for the year, I've done pretty good. I didn't go out and buy a driver and a new golf set and everything else that I wanted. I'll do this in baby steps. So next this year, my goal is to buy a set of irons, right? So I had to plan for that. So my wife knows that.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, yeah, just don't let her ever play golf with you because then she'll be like, oh. Why don't you get better on the ones you have?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Well, and funny thing is, but funny thing is, I haven't bought a driver or irons for 32 years.
SPEAKER_01:Oh wow.
SPEAKER_02:So think about that. I mean, my clips are 32 years old. It's time for a new set.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. You don't have to explain it to us.
SPEAKER_02:No, I'm not. I'm just saying about no. But like going back to your purchases, things like with 90,000, that's a no-no. Nah, I'd be the devil on the shoulder. That's a no.
SPEAKER_04:No, so my question was to both of you, all of you rather, what is that limit? Like, if I go out and make a$200 purchase right now, um, even though AJ and I don't share accounts, she's not gonna bat an eye at it. But if I bought a$1,000 baseball card, even though she's not helping me pay my bills, she's gonna be like, what the hell, homie? That's a vacation next summer. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_05:But you know what this card is gonna be worth next year?
SPEAKER_03:Well, that's that's why I haven't bought one though. But that's gonna be my defense.
SPEAKER_05:$1,000 now, but it's gonna be$12,000.
SPEAKER_01:I think unless you're selling it, it doesn't freaking matter. Well, it's not gonna influence your now time financials. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Do you have a dollar? You so you have separate accounts.
SPEAKER_01:You we don't even cover each other's funds, nothing. Like there's I pay for these things, you pay for those things, we don't but you the goal is to be there forever.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, right?
SPEAKER_00:Well, yeah, right.
SPEAKER_04:So the idea is that technically, whatever you're saving, you're saving for both of you, not just for yourself. You're not gonna be like, I'm gonna go play on the jet ski today while you have to go mow lawns. I mean, I might. I was better with money than you. I'm looking at the boat, I'm out of here. Okay. This is my boat, not yours. Is there a price limit if he bought something and didn't discuss it with you that it would bother you?
SPEAKER_01:Not really. Um, but I I I understand what you're saying. So, like we're currently looking at one of the projector screens that is automated and comes down, and I'm like, I'm gonna go get it on Friday. Do we need it? Do we not need it? Do we need it? Do we not need it?
SPEAKER_04:So, what's the debate? What are you discussing? Whether or not you're gonna go get it or not?
SPEAKER_01:Whether he thinks that I should go ahead and buy it.
SPEAKER_04:So you want to spend the money, and he you're trying to get his approval. Yeah, I know that already. I've known you a long time. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I like saving money, but sometimes I really like spending some money.
SPEAKER_02:I think Dalton also would depend on the financial situation that you're in.
SPEAKER_04:Well, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I mean, all I mean, if you had money Well, and that's what the whole point of this commercial is.
SPEAKER_04:Or if you were comfortable, I guess. If you are millionaires, multi-millionaires, where this it's not a big deal. They probably paid cash for the damn thing. Exactly. And you buy them a$90,000 truck. In reality, for these people, it doesn't mean anything. The the odd part or excuse me part for me on this whole thing is commercials are supposed to connect with your audience. And I just don't know whose audience is that just can go buy. It's not right. I I mean that's gotta be even higher up with uh maybe the one, but I mean, you're not you're not selling Dodge Rams to the one percent. You're selling it to guys that work construction.
SPEAKER_02:Trump made it.
SPEAKER_04:Uh man, I don't even know. Man, we're gonna have to start editing your Trump button or something. Get your little buzzer. Uh, but anyway, no, I just it's funny to me. I uh I'm interested. Here's the other big lie at Christmas, right? Like, and I started doing this with AJ. We started setting like a dollar limit that you can spend. Yeah, that never happens, does it? And no, we do pretty good with it because the last thing you want to be is the asshole that's like um it was an episode of The Office where they made a dollar limit, yeah, and then Steve or uh He got like a PS3 or something like that. No, he bought like an iPod. So he's like, oh I got oven mitts.
SPEAKER_05:I got you know I got an iPod.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I I I that's the other one. Like, did you how do you guys do Christmas?
SPEAKER_01:So we don't get each other anything for Christmas because we tend to buy for each other all year round, but we do stockings.
SPEAKER_04:I love stockings are awesome.
SPEAKER_01:Stockings are the best.
SPEAKER_04:I'm talking about not just the tree kind, I'm talking about the AJ guy. That might be added to the stocking. That's that rumble mess kicking in.
SPEAKER_01:Stockings are added to the stockings.
SPEAKER_04:Uh, that's the gift that keeps on giving.
SPEAKER_01:That's a coupon in the street.
SPEAKER_02:Jeremy, what do you do for Christmas for your lady friend? Uh sometimes we do presents, we do a dollar amount, and then like this year we're not doing anything because we just buy it, like Kimmy said, we we buy whatever we want throughout the year. Oh yeah. It works.
SPEAKER_01:And then you're buying a new driver.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Alright, did I already did? Yeah. It's fine. But I told her, you know, that I did. So it wasn't like I was hiding it. But you know, like that is that's a big purchase for me. I I don't do that. Like as a personal person, it's hard to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars when you know you should be doing other stuff, right? So well, especially when you got kids in college. Yeah. We both do that.
SPEAKER_05:I seen that at a golf shop, pro shop. It was a sign that said, uh, do you want this receipt printed and the price you told your wife you paid for it?
SPEAKER_03:Right? Yes, please. I'll give you a tip. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:There's a reason that most successful couples, it seems nowadays have separate accounts. Yeah, we're just gonna keep that over here. All right. Uh if you're watching the show and you want to comment in, we'd love to have it by all means. If you listen to this later or if you watch us later, build uh feel free to add some comments. We can talk about it later next week when we do these shows again. Um speaking of which, I'm actually I appreciate all of you waiting. We actually had people that came up, uh our trivia is going over really well. Oh, yeah. Before we get into the news. And uh couldn't thank the firehouse more.
SPEAKER_05:Eight teams and other over 30 people again.
SPEAKER_02:Oh yeah. The only thing I know is that I'm I've eaten so much brisket in the last time. I can't get enough brisket, though. I'm I'm I love it.
SPEAKER_04:I think I'm turning into brisket because that's all I get. Yeah. I've noticed when you uh start to sweat, it smells like an au jus. Yeah. There's literally gravy soft coming out of your arm. Oh, I thought you were gonna say somewhere else. Oh, not the baby gravy. But I thought about a rumpletter. I thought about otherwise. Well, I think the rumplints has kicked in. I'm starting to feel the sweat on my upper lip. It is time to get into A to B news.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:How do we got? All right. Here's our first story. Comes out of the uh great country of Taiwan. Uh old Bangkok.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, the old Bangkok.
SPEAKER_04:That's uh Confucius say man who goes through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok.
SPEAKER_02:Or man who go to bed with itchy butt, wake up in the morning with stinky finger. Oh, that's gross. That's gross. But yes, I've got a bunch of those.
SPEAKER_04:Anyway, outskirts of Bangkok at the Wat Rat Prakon Tom, a Buddhist temple. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I think I nailed it. Yeah. It's a uh Buddhist temple outside the city. I think I nailed it. I think I nailed it. Staff were preparing a cremation for a 65-year-old Thai woman. The woman's brother had driven roughly 300 miles after she appeared to have stopped breathing.
SPEAKER_01:Appeared.
SPEAKER_04:Appeared. The plan bring her to the Bangkok Hospital because that's where she wanted to go, because she wanted to donate her organs. The hospital, though, refused to accept her because the family didn't have an official death certificate. So the brother turned to the temple. This is this is why I love this country that I'm in. Because you couldn't do this shit.
SPEAKER_01:No, you don't go pick up your city.
SPEAKER_04:You're not driving 300 miles.
SPEAKER_05:What is this family vacation?
SPEAKER_01:You don't go pick up their person in the car.
SPEAKER_05:You're not driving 300 miles with Anna Edna in the back of the car. No horses.
SPEAKER_03:No horses.
SPEAKER_01:Let's just go pick up Anna Edna.
SPEAKER_04:The brother drove 300 miles. Oh look, you had her in the back of a truck. I was Anna Edna, Edna. Oh, I need Anna Edna. Now I feel horrible. Oh, she's moving and everything. Yeah, she was alive. That's a big coffin. It is a big look at that. Uh-oh, the woo-woo's have been a cult. Look at the Oh my god. Oh no, she's alive, buddy. Oh. They drove. Oh man. Daniel Songa. All right. The plan, like I mentioned, was take her to the hospital, but because she uh they didn't have the certificate, they took her to this temple. Um, apparently they offer free cremation services. This sounds like something was put together by the mafia, doesn't it? Right. They need to go ahead and take care of this for me. This sounds like a Yellowstone episode.
SPEAKER_02:Chilling in there, like a blanket, and like let's just hang out in the coffin.
SPEAKER_04:While the temple staff were taking uh talking with the uh the brother about how to obtain the death certificate, they heard faint knocking coming from inside the coffin. They opened the coffin, the woman who was presumed dead was moving. She opened her eyes slightly, knocked on the outside of the coffin. Hello. Even moved her arms and head and said, I have the best brother ever.
SPEAKER_05:Somebody help me.
SPEAKER_04:I mean that part up. Uh damn it, it didn't work again.
SPEAKER_02:Ah, I was hoping she wouldn't move this time. Is there something more to that story? Like, was there like a big like?
SPEAKER_04:No, no, he thought he was doing right. His his uh family member wasn't moving. Wow. And he takes her there. It it's wild to me, is that uh I don't know. She looked horrible in that fucking box, though. Yeah. Right? Oh, yeah. And they just left her in there.
SPEAKER_01:You just like cut it in a box.
SPEAKER_04:They left her in the coffin until the That's what I said. Get her out. You touch her. I ain't touching her, you touch her. Oh my god, this looks like a fucking crypt. Is it like Rigorist?
SPEAKER_05:I ain't touching her, you touch her.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, gross. They're like, just leave her in there. It might happen any minute.
SPEAKER_05:The dead lady breathed on me.
SPEAKER_00:She's like, you think a Pepsi or something?
SPEAKER_02:Want a Pepsi?
SPEAKER_06:She had to be thirsty.
SPEAKER_02:Or no, you want a Pepsi? Oh, are you being racist?

SPEAKER_02:Well, I guess I won't do my blackface next week. Wow. That's racist. Now that's racist. That's racist. Oh, so there is a line with you. It is racist. No, there is a line. There is a lot of things. I just said a couple words. You're not going to be a good one.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, God. All right. So here's the story. What do we got? Let's move on. Oh, man. That's funny. I love the show. This is why I caution people about going live. Right. Everybody in here just throwing out vi. Woof. Anyway. Honestly, don't worry about Jeremy. We've done it on the show before. We've been doing this for eight years. I promise you. I don't care. I'm not. I know you're not. It was funny.
SPEAKER_03:It was funny, though.
SPEAKER_04:It was funny. All right. This is uh from last month in North Carolina, Route 74. A driver called 911 after a bald eagle allegedly dropped a cat through her windshield.
SPEAKER_02:I've seen that video. That's crazy. Oh, is there one? Holy cow. It's crazy.
SPEAKER_04:The impact shattered the windshield. The driver was unhurt. Uh the cat didn't make it. Oh. No way. It had nine lives. It used to be a lot of time.
SPEAKER_03:I've seen the one.
SPEAKER_05:Well, that's the thing. I'd seen the one where the bald eagle dropped a fish through the windshield. Yeah. This was a feline. A meow.
SPEAKER_04:Wow.
SPEAKER_05:Okay.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Fell down, went through the windshield. It didn't land on its feet, did it?
unknown:Oh.
SPEAKER_04:Wow.
SPEAKER_03:Or did that hard time not giggling?
SPEAKER_04:Didn't have nine lives either.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:No, it used them all up, bro. That joke was told 38 seconds ago. In the uh 911 call, the driver said, You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield. The dispatcher, after a stunned pause, replied calmly, I do believe you, honestly. Look at the hole it put in the windshield. Holy cow.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:The cat was on the side of the road, which clearly proves that the eagles do not follow the five-second rule. It's like, ew, it's gross. Test the human car.
SPEAKER_01:It's got glass all over it.
SPEAKER_04:Now, this is a real worry for a lot of people. Bald eagles are popping up everywhere. We have tons of them now around our area.
SPEAKER_01:It's so funny because uh we literally, so in our little subdivision, we have a Facebook group. Yeah, but they were just talking about this week. They were like, hey, there's a bald eagle hanging out in our subdivision.
SPEAKER_05:Watch your dogs.
SPEAKER_01:Watch your dogs because yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, that thing's massive. You got a massive woodpecker. That thing's huge.
SPEAKER_04:Well, and that's why you can buy a 600 driver and you don't get in trouble. Wow. I seen where you were over there.
SPEAKER_05:That's how I recovered our friendship, right there.
SPEAKER_04:There we go. He's got a massive woodpecker. He lost it in it was like a peg leg for a sailor. His woodpecker.
SPEAKER_02:My woodpecker's badass. I couldn't kill it, man. There's no way. Like that thing. He's panked the shit out of it. It's still out of that shit.
SPEAKER_03:Oh.
SPEAKER_04:Now, here's the thing, talking about your dogs. Yeah, according to the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission, it's possible the eagle was scavenging. The cat may have actually been rogue kill. Eagles can carry animals the size of a cat, though it's rarely uh rare they target live cats. So I think it they if they were starving, they'd probably take a dog or a car or a cat rather. But uh they're probably gonna squirrels are fun. Oh, York.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, that's it. Yorkies need to be on alert.
SPEAKER_04:Uh I'm gonna ask you. You you had mentioned tomorrow you got a hot tough day tomorrow. A lot going on at work. Yeah. If you called in tomorrow and said, hey, I'm not gonna make it in, uh you're not gonna believe this. An eagle just dropped a cat through my windshield.
SPEAKER_05:Are they gonna believe you?
SPEAKER_01:Definitely not.
SPEAKER_05:I would take pictures and I'd be like, you won't fucking believe this. It's a story of my life right here.
SPEAKER_01:Right. It's going in my auto. Oh my bad.
SPEAKER_05:All the other shit I'm going through, but hey, guess what? Story of my life, I'm the cat.
SPEAKER_01:Right. No, they'd probably be like, hey, where are you at? We'll just come pick you up.
SPEAKER_04:I'm good. Yeah, was it your cat? Then I'll see you in 20 minutes. All right, here's your next story. Uh so apparently, somewhere on the internet, uh, save your period blood for a face mask is trending.
SPEAKER_03:Uh hell.
SPEAKER_04:Yes, minstrel blood. Influencers are called minstrel masking. It's pitching it as a DIY beauty hack that will give your skin a glow up.
SPEAKER_05:Are you sure as there's just one of those things like, hey, you want to see how stupid people really are?
SPEAKER_04:Hell, they ate Tide Pods. Surely they'll rub pussy juice on their face.
SPEAKER_06:Oh my god. Smells like fish. Oh my god. Taking a hard red turn tonight.
SPEAKER_04:The selling points are uh period blood supposedly has stem cells, proteins, and growth factors that help regenerate tissue. Are you sure we're not live on the city page? Oh, there it is. Look at that. No, it looks like face-off when they take Nicholas Cage's face off and they get their transplant the face. Uh now here's where it gets gross. Um blood isn't sterile. It's a messy, bloody cocktail of blood, tissue, vaginal fluids, bacteria.
SPEAKER_05:What do you think?
SPEAKER_04:Uh dermatologists and public health uh folks warn it can cause skin infections, breaks outs, irritations, and uh maybe even more serious, like uh you're gonna get divorced because that's fucking gross.
SPEAKER_05:Wait, well, that might be what's happening in enrichment, all the gonorrhea gone. Or hepatitis.
SPEAKER_02:Jeez. Uh if you got that in your mouth, then you can't. No, I can't stop.
SPEAKER_01:I can tell you. So some of us women do go a little overboard on trying to stay youthful and stuff to where, like, I have heard where you have your own blood drawn or your plasma drawn, and they can put that back into like the needling on your own. That's not a certain area. No, it's like a they they like do a needling or a laser or something and they like reinfuse your own plasma back in to try to cell on your face.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:No, it's not. No, that's not menstrual blood.
SPEAKER_02:This is disgusting. It's not uterine line.
SPEAKER_04:I kind of want to throw up a little bit. It is pretty gross.
SPEAKER_05:It'd be like Where'd you find a story happening?
SPEAKER_04:I am not gonna talk about whatever smelling to my brain. Yeah. You can use a pad and just ring it.
SPEAKER_05:Oh. All right, now we're going too far with this. I'm done. I'm good.
SPEAKER_01:It's it's been way too far. It's been way too too far.
SPEAKER_02:You could use it as a like a like a head. I need a shot.
SPEAKER_06:Like one of those Peore strips.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, this is growing up a head. Oh, that's why I love you guys. Oh. You could have somebody come over and say, hey man, I'm just gonna let you know that uh that marinade in the fridge smells like it's gone bad.
SPEAKER_03:It smells like you were smoking salmon in the nuts.
SPEAKER_06:Oh wow.
SPEAKER_01:Just your sausage.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, I love it.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, that's rough on there.
SPEAKER_04:Love the show. How are we not rich? Cancelled. Or cancelled is exactly. You know why? That's the beauty of podcasts. Say whatever you want to do. It's not regulated at all. It's coming. I'm telling you right now, it's coming. Hear me out on uh this would be a great off topic. It's not a funny topic. It's uh, you know, the podcast people thought would die. I remember um we had Megan Imoff on the show, and I like Megan, Ish mom. And she sent me a message one time years ago, and she says, I think podcasts are gonna die. And she wasn't being derogatory towards us, she was just talking about, you know, like and it's the opposite. Oh, yeah. It helped a president get elected. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's file. And so that's why there will be a day where you can't say some of the stuff we find. Oh man, that's yeah, I'll take one. Look at he's still looking it up. He's fascinated by this story.
SPEAKER_01:It's so gross.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, Henry, if you put a little skeet in there with it. Oh, that's two beers? Two beers. All right. Uh no, I'm good.
SPEAKER_01:I'm good.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, this is why this podcast is brought to you by Rumpelmints. All right, this one comes to us from Norway. A new study led by Willie Peterson from the University of Oslo.
SPEAKER_01:Willie?
SPEAKER_04:Will Will Oh man, I don't like those. Those give me diabetes. Give me one of them plain ones. I remember when that right there. I remember when beer was flavored like beer. Everybody now's got to put fruit juice and shit in their beers to drink it. Oh, gross. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Skeet on it. Thank you.
SPEAKER_04:Skeet skeet. All right. What is this one about? Uh this comes to us from Oslo, Norway. 3,000 Norwegians were tracked from the age of 13 to 31 for 18 years. According to the results of the survey, those who engaged in heavy drinking in their late teens and early 20s, you know, been drinkers. They ended up, on average, with higher levels of education and greater income as adults compared to non-drinkers or light drinkers. It's probably because all the connections you made when you're drunk.
SPEAKER_05:Hey, do I know you? Yeah. Remember the other night? Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good point. I mean, this is Senate confirming. You know how many people I met at New We the next day? And I was like, oh.
SPEAKER_02:Dude, that still happens to me on the right. You know how many people you met when you put your gold thongs on and ran through the hotels?
SPEAKER_01:Yes. Or the blue jean one.
SPEAKER_02:Oh. Or the touch here one. Yeah. Sorry. Back when we didn't have cameras.
SPEAKER_04:So that's a good card.
SPEAKER_01:Right?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. I didn't know the good thing. Yes. Can you imagine it how much trouble you'd get in now if you had cameras back then?
SPEAKER_01:Oh.
SPEAKER_04:Oh.
SPEAKER_01:So glad.
SPEAKER_04:Probably though. In all reality, you'd be like, man, I wish I could get some of my sexton pictures back. Or locations. But I was in shape. Right. Uh the uh stir, uh, excuse me, it goes that uh late teens or early 20s who ended up on average with higher uh levels of education, greater income. The reasoning was that the uh author of the study, Peterson, argued that alcohol in a social context may serve as a marker of sociality. In uh human speak, getting plastered with friends early could help loosen you up socially, build connections, break inhibitions, and all the things that supposedly help career and personal success down the road.
SPEAKER_01:Any bets old Peterson drank from 13 to 19 heavily?
SPEAKER_04:I know everybody in this room did.
SPEAKER_01:It was a study we found.
SPEAKER_05:What are you talking about?
SPEAKER_04:Right. You know what? There's there's a big alarm that's going on right now with a lot of the the current generation, and they're fearful that because they're becoming so introverted, it's a non-drinking generation. Yeah, they stay in a lot or they communicate socially via online. Gamers. Uh, yeah. As a part of that subset, yeah, yeah. And that um they're saying that they wish kids would go out and drink more. Go out there and drink, have sex, and do drugs, kid. Quit playing PlayStation. Not the drugs so much, but uh just imagine. And they're not gonna tell you technically that you should be out drinking either. But look how much fun these people are having. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:That's AI. These kids need to get out there.
SPEAKER_04:Look how much fun we're having. Nah, these kids need to get out there and experience dog and rumble. It's the old meme goes, right? A story never started.
SPEAKER_01:Nobody needs to experience that.
SPEAKER_04:And then I had a salad.
SPEAKER_02:Negative. It's the Gen Z millennial crap that's going on, man. It's just different.
SPEAKER_04:It's not crap. They're just growing up in a different time with different shit. Yeah, different shit.
SPEAKER_01:It's like we unlike us. No, we grew up in a completely different time than our parents did. Son's up.
SPEAKER_04:Get the fuck out of the house.
SPEAKER_01:It's free sex.
SPEAKER_04:Actually, I guess people in Wayne County are doing that now again. Like, opens like in the late 60s. That's where SCDs came from. And a lot of the explosion of it, people were just like, hey, you look nice. Bang, bang, bang.
SPEAKER_01:I said a bank. Oh bank. I'll bank it a bank. I said a bank, bank, bang, get a bank.
SPEAKER_04:This generation will never know about a key party. I will say though, you know, as much as it it showed signs that it worked out for some. I know a lot of people that drank heavily in high school that didn't work out so well. No, not so much. Might just be a coincidence on that one. Yeah. Maybe it's annoying. I didn't drink. Did you not drink? I drank a lot. Did you? When did you start drinking? Uh sixth grade? What? When was the first time you got drunk? How old were you?
SPEAKER_02:Seventh grade.
SPEAKER_04:How old was that?
SPEAKER_02:Fourteen? Fourteen?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. 13, 14.
SPEAKER_02:It was different because my parents got divorced. Um, it's just different. What were you drinking?
SPEAKER_04:What'd you get drunk on?
SPEAKER_02:Uh Bartles and James. Bartles and James. Yeah, and I made a concoction because we were we lived near Sonic and I made a slushie and you put some beer in it and put a bartles and james in it. It was really good.
SPEAKER_04:How old were you when you got drunk first time?
SPEAKER_01:Eighth grade. I think.
SPEAKER_04:You were right there.
SPEAKER_00:AJ? Was that eighth grade? I was until we we smoked we smoked Mama D's uh hot damn.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I probably went until seventh grade. It was uh warm corona and peach knobs. Warm. I love that.
SPEAKER_04:I love that he said it wasn't until probably the seventh grade. Like he was like late to the party. This is a sign of America.
SPEAKER_02:I'm sure you guys know that Purple Passion is our you know, the two leaders and and all that. I mean, uh all through high school.
SPEAKER_01:That was my freshman year.
SPEAKER_02:And then I think Everclear got later down the road with Jungle Juice and but man, we drank a lot when I was in high school. I I remember smuggling wine coolers on a choir trip. Oh, Jesus. On a bus and was drinking on the bus, and I It was scared to death because we the bottles were clanking. And so I I made a story up. I was like, hey, I need to pee, you know. Like we we did have to pee. And I carried that bag out. It was like clink, clank, click. And I was hoping that none of the teachers were on the bus that would hear it.
SPEAKER_04:We wouldn't know what that sound is. I know, but they're like, give me one, I won't say nothing. Yeah, right. I had a buddy that uh used his dad's syringe from uh diabetes. He had uh he was insulin dependent, and he would fill that thing up with vodka and shoot it into grapes. Oh, geez. And then pack his lunch and take him with him on his lunch.
SPEAKER_02:That's pretty ingenious. Right? Hey, I mean where there's a will, there's a way, buddy. Yeah, but I remember them days. I mean, high school days, I drank a lot. I shouldn't have.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. I you know, I uh I had my fair share, but I I can't say I drank a lot, maybe you know, once or twice a week. It wasn't like it was readily available. Right. I remember sitting outside. We uh there was five of us in high school for a senior year, went to Hollywood Beach, Florida. We're staling, by the way, folks. If you're kind of like, what the hell is this going on forever? Kim's take a pee. Yeah, there you go. That's that's a great shot. Uh I remember standing outside a convenience store waiting, and finally took like the fourth or fifth group of the ass to go in and buy us. Went in and bought us a warm case of red dog. Nice.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, yeah. Who did buy you guys' alcohol? Like my brother's. My aunt. Your aunt. Uh yeah.
SPEAKER_05:As long as we bought her a pack of smokes, she buys whatever. I swear to God. That's hilarious. But then she came back when Absolute was popular, you know. You say, Hey, get a bottle of Absolute. She came back with it, but it was Absolute Papar.
SPEAKER_04:The pepper one?
SPEAKER_05:The one for Black Mary's? Yes. We're like, what the fuck is this? This tastes horrible with orange juice. It was so bad. No, we're drinking it straight. We didn't know.
SPEAKER_04:Oh. Would you be pissed? Like, you've got kids that are under 15. Yeah. Would you be pissed if they were drinking already? No. You wouldn't be pissed.
SPEAKER_05:I'd be pissed if they didn't call me to come get them or take care of them. That'd be alright. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:That was my mom's biggest thing.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:I mean, I mean because I'm I'm not gonna be able to stop it.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:I mean, if you're gonna do it, you're gonna do it.
SPEAKER_01:Now I will tell you that when my mom caught us, she goes, Oh, you girls want to be grown and drink up. Let me pour it out for you. And like made us like big cups of it. And we're like, no, no, we're good. We're good.
SPEAKER_04:They thought they were being punished in reality. She's like, girl, we're gonna be drinking.
SPEAKER_01:Let me get the blender out. I'm like, mom, you haven't had one of these yet.
SPEAKER_04:You'd start teaching her drinks. Mom, you're pouring it wrong. Oh, what time is it? Are we uh we're doing all right? 42. What do we got? What else you got now? What's our next one? We got a lot of shit going on. All right, we got two more stories. Okay. The first one's it's just kind of funny to me.
SPEAKER_05:Wait till the last one.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, we let's just jump into that one. The other one was that bear shelters. Basically, they're taking uh survival containers and telling people now they're bear containers, shipping containers, and trying to retrofit them. Like, if you saw a bear coming, I'd just go in my house, but these guys apparently are gonna run into their backyard.
SPEAKER_05:Well, it's not the thing that are people that are going on walks and shit and like, oh shit, a bear.
SPEAKER_02:We go take it with you. You sure they're not traps?
SPEAKER_05:Like it's a cave for the bear.
SPEAKER_02:I'm not getting in there. Where are we gonna end up?
SPEAKER_01:I mean, I've seen some videos of where like the bear's like, oh shit, that's the door, whatever. Boom! Just comes through the door.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, well, I would just say that uh if you're gonna hang out one of these bear enclosures, I wouldn't be using that fish marinade from earlier. No. An anchor man, an anchor man. This will be value for miles. An anchor man. Bears can smell minstrel.
SPEAKER_00:Next, next.
SPEAKER_04:All right. Let's get the last one, my favorite one. I wouldn't hear this. Do we have anybody watching at all?
SPEAKER_01:Probably not after that. Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_04:How many people? Two. Ooh. Two. Yeah. My mom and my my aunt. Uh all right. Here is our next story. This one comes to us from uh Texas. Two young men there, Gavin Rivers Weisenberg, 21, and Tanner. Why are you laughing already? Tanner Christopher Thomas, 20, were indicted by a federal grand jury in late November for allegedly plotting to invade a foreign island. Their target uh was Gonave. It's an island, uh Haitian island, of some 87,000 people. Now I looked it up, 43 to 49,000 of them were men. According to the prosecutors, these two guys' plan was to murder all the men on the island, all the men, then enslave all the women, women, and children, and yes, turn them into sex slaves as a part of what they described as their rape fantasies. The modern day Columbus.
SPEAKER_02:How are they gonna kill 49,000 men?
SPEAKER_01:By themselves.
SPEAKER_02:Kool-Aid. Right.
SPEAKER_01:Well, coming to Richmond, right? And they're trying to take out all of her.
SPEAKER_04:These guys were trying to start a cult. Yeah, they call them a Kool-Aid. Yeah. They uh the indictment says they spent nearly a year. This isn't like one weekend. No, this is they spent some time on this year. They researched weapons, acquired a sailboat, tried to recruit mercenaries that were reportedly homeless people from Washington, D.C. to help pull off the invasion. I don't know why Washington. I don't know if they went up there for a weekend with a pickup truck and was trying like Well, they're only 20, so it's probably like a school trip or something. One of the guys, uh Thomas, the 20-year-old, even enlisted in the U.S. Air Force earlier this year, allegedly to get the kind of military training he thought would help with the coup. Oh, wow. These guys were serious about it. No doubt. This is one of those things. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_01:Why Haiti?
SPEAKER_04:Like uh apparently they looked at it. I I can't say why specifically Haiti, but apparently they found a place where they thought they could get up on the beach each other.
SPEAKER_02:Close enough to where they were at the end. How many years did they get, Chris?
SPEAKER_04:Uh there's they just got indicted on it. They were charged with conspiracy to murder, maim, or kidnap in a foreign country. Production of child pornography. Oh. A brutal combat uh combat or combo that, if convicted, could land them life in prison.
SPEAKER_05:I think it's a good place.
SPEAKER_04:You know, here's the thing about chosen in prison, though. Life really isn't that long. No, not for a lot of them. Yeah, even in the business, they uh they have a way of like even saying you're too bad for even us, bro. Yeah, and when you hear about it, you don't you're like, oh, should have worn that purity blood.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, there we go.
SPEAKER_02:They would have stayed away from me.
SPEAKER_06:Jeremy! Come on!
SPEAKER_04:Authorities say this isn't some edgy thought experiment. They claim the guys had operational plans, reconnaissance, resources, and were actively recruiting for the mission. Is this Iron Eagle?
SPEAKER_02:Echo Tango to Iron Eagle.

SPEAKER_04:Maybe, and that's the hardest part about at least anxiety for me, is that uh I don't feel right, but I can't tell you why I don't feel right. And uh, I'm just simply saying if there's people out there that go through it, you're not alone. I promise you that everybody in this room has dealt with some sort of mental health issue from one time or another. You're not uh rare, it's not something you should be embarrassed to discuss. If it makes you feel better talking about it, um, by all means do that.
SPEAKER_05:Reach out to us, we'll talk to you.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, come in and hang out with us. Uh but and more importantly, if there's someone in your life that you feel like maybe they're struggling with that kind of thing, and um you know, sometimes you can be the bigger person by just saying, hey, it just seems like you're uh you're struggling. Reach out to them, let them know that you're a uh a person that they can talk to. And uh you never know. It might be the thing that makes them wake up tomorrow morning. So let's just take care of each other. The uh as much as we like to have fun, the holidays can be a rough time for a lot of people, so let's take care of each other out there. All right, Mr. Screddy, Mr. Shook, Mr. Summers, Miss Gibler. We will be back and talk to them all next time.
SPEAKER_01:After two beers.
SPEAKER_03:Take me home, take me home home.
