You can feel a life milestone hit in real time. We’re joking around one minute, then the next we’re staring straight at a question a lot of us avoid: when did “50 is old” stop being a joke and start being a mirror? Dutch’s 48th birthday kicks off a surprisingly honest run about health, losing people too young, and why the most valuable thing you own has nothing to do with your bank account.

We also get into the messy, hilarious reality of dating standards as you age. What’s a reasonable age cutoff on a dating app when your kid is grown? How much does physical attraction matter, and what do you do with the Gen Z idea of “Shrekking,” dating someone you’re not attracted to because they’re a good person? It’s part comedy, part real talk, and way too relatable.

Then we turn the chaos up with a game: five headline stories and one is fake. A snake bite leads to a finger getting chopped off. A slot machine flashes a $43 million jackpot that gets voided as a “glitch” and replaced with a steak dinner. A hickey ends in a fatal stroke. A first date shows up with 23 family members and a massive bill. We argue, we guess, and we spiral like only this crew can.

If the ending hits close to home, that’s the point. Check on your people, say the thing, and take care of yourself. Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave us a review so this community keeps growing.

If you're looking to do one of these fun podcasts or something of the sort, make sure you reach out to Kevin. Yeah. He can help you out with that. All right. Let me get into a few of our thank yous before we get going. Want to make sure we thank the bottle shop and crosstown carry out uh here in Richmond. Yeah, definitely. Um, you know, I gotta say, if uh you live here local and uh you're a bourbon fan, I know the bourbon drop, I think, is Saturday. This Saturday? Yeah. Oh, nice. Yeah. And you can get on their uh Facebook page and see what they've got. But uh we stopped down at Crosstown on the way here and they've got blantons on the shelf. Do they really? Oh, absolutely. It's a great deal. Hell yeah. Yeah. So if you're looking for a good bottle of bourbon here local, uh make sure you check those guys out. Want to make sure we thank the Moose Lodge. We just signed up a uh a deal with them to do music now through the end of the year.

SPEAKER_02

Nice. It is crazy now. It's so much fun. It is having everybody out there dancing and just having a good time.

SPEAKER_03

We're gonna do our next event on uh May 2nd. It's uh 111 South Eighth here in Richmond. Uh technically it's like 8 to 11:30, but we really play from about seven to midnight. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Because there were people there. There were a ton of people there before we got there.

Merch, Music Nights, And Pub Crawl

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, they were already there sitting in the seats eating. Oh my god, we should get little tents out front early. Yeah. Uh we need to sell some merch. I've had uh we have ideas. Yeah, I was well, I we can uh noodle on it later. I was talking to you about it a little bit last night. And uh we'll come up with some sort of merch idea there. But um make sure you check out the moose. Lots of stuff going on, even when we're not there. Uh local bingo and music, I'm gonna work with uh our buddy Brian down there and get a full list of that moving forward. But uh I've also gone out and scheduled almost all of our events through the end of the year, they're on our Facebook page. So if you want to see when we're gonna be doing country, when we'll be doing trivia, where we'll be doing trivia, um, make sure you check that out. Another thing, we've got a lot of bars here locally that uh have asked us to do stuff, but really what I try to do is make what we do at that particular location unique to that location.

SPEAKER_02

Special. That's we only do it at that location.

SPEAKER_03

Right. So I'm uh I'm trying to come up with some ideas. I was thinking about uh I thought this one would be really cool is to do a pub crawl, but it is like a murder mystery. And you get clues at each pub, and then at the end you have to submit who do you think did it? Okay, right? Okay, I thought that'd be kind of cool. It would be yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_06

So are we the the suspects?

SPEAKER_03

Potentially, or or the bartender. But we would be, you know, maybe one of us is uh the host, and you know, and the others are but anyway, that's an idea I've thought of. I'm just throwing out lots of ideas here so people can steal them from us.

SPEAKER_02

Uh next thing you'll see is online. I hey murder mystery pub crawl. I think it would be awesome. Yeah, that's kind of cool. If you do anything like that, that'd be great.

SPEAKER_03

I haven't either. I mean, I drive a lot for a living, so I was like, that would be kind of sweet. I also I wanted to do uh I love game shows, uh, and we adapt a lot of that into our podcast or our trivia like family feuds and things. But I was like, you know, I think I could come up with a price is right that we could do. Oh, do you? Yeah. But then today I was just thinking, I think we could do like a newlywed kind of deal. Oh shit. Where we ask questions and you would have people that are in relationships from different periods.

SPEAKER_06

I was gonna say, are we gonna do newly divorced then?

SPEAKER_03

Uh well, it's gotta be a couple.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Here in Wayne County, we'd have plenty of newly divorced. We actually we may cause a few divorces. You could have the exes there with uh see now your brainstorming.

SPEAKER_04

I'm gonna be busy that day.

Flying Mummies Baseball And Sports Feels

SPEAKER_03

Wow. Wow, it's like the dating show, only it's all the exes lined up. Oh, so hell. With paintball with paintball guns, I hope. Uh well, hey, whatever. Uh, but anyway, I'm gonna come up with some more ideas. Uh, then I still want to make sure we reach out to the um uh the flying mummies. They're getting ready to kick off their inaugural season here in Wayne County.

SPEAKER_02

I cannot wait for that.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I I still want to do something with those guys. Hopefully, it can be kind of themed around what we're doing. Jeremy's doing fireworks there on Friday nights. And uh I love baseball, and it's it to me, anything I can do to help promote local baseball.

SPEAKER_01

They're really invested in the community too. They're really trying to you know. I seen the other day they were looking for national anthem people to see national anthems and none of us are doing that. But I thought it was pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. No, I I dig that, and that you know, I love the whole concept of what that league is about, uh, which is basically it's kids that are in college or uh I don't know if they're freshly out of college, some of them, but it's it's an opportunity to play in front of scouts and hopefully get drafted or things like that.

SPEAKER_02

Those are some of my my favorite videos watching guys get called up. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I seen the line with the new guy from uh the Reds get his when he got called up.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

unknown

Oh, it wasn't.

SPEAKER_06

Did you get all teary-eyed and such?

SPEAKER_02

He did. I don't get teary-eyed, but man, I got high.

SPEAKER_01

But I got teary-eyed the other day. Did you see the one on ESPN where the guy threw it up to the kid, the baseball, and he gave it to his sister? Yeah, that was pretty cool. They hugged. Yeah, well, they uh like they actually liked each other. That'd be better.

SPEAKER_02

Atlanta Braves guy, his very first pitch was sent out of the park.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, or they showed the guy with his dad, uh, his son was throwing um.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, and his dad was just tearing.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah. Pretty cool.

SPEAKER_06

That one was really good.

Turning 48 And Putting Health First

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. I you know, it's funny. I had the opportunity to sit in some seats in Cincinnati once, and uh, I believe it was Graham Ashcraft's family was sitting there. And and the only reason you know immediately it's the is they react on every pitch. Right. You know, and you can tell the dad at least, it was probably the most uh nervous I've ever seen somebody sitting in the audience, right? Right, and it would be really cool. And like my son, I'm gonna uh throw a little props to my son here, a little shout out to Logan Dalton. Yeah, he just competed in his uh uh his senior year at Purdue. He was uh in the power lifting collegiate championship in New Orleans, went down and watched that. He's a beast. Oh, it's fun. The kid weighs a buck eighty, and uh they do three events. They do a squat, a deadlift, and a bench press, and his the three combined were over 1,400 pounds. Yeah, and it's just it's so cool though that there was like um multiple colleges there from all over the United States, and there was fans there who there was a guy there with a trumpet that was playing, and they had signs made and everything. It was so cool. And I it's just I think um I you know here locally, NCAA is big. The Indies NCAA home is in Indianapolis, and uh collegiate sports is a big deal here locally. Oh yeah and it's just it's really cool to see kids that are playing because they love the event or whatever they're doing. Yeah. And uh so it was really cool to go down and experience that. So cool time there. Other things that came up, um, it and maybe this is something we can chat about. Uh, I celebrated my 48th birthday two days ago. Happy birthday! Oh, thank you. And uh Mr. Scarpetti is getting ready to celebrate his 49th birthday. Put in your 47th, your 48. I'm already 48. I'm 49 this year.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

SPEAKER_03

When's your birthday? December 12th. Oh, so you got a minute.

SPEAKER_02

I got a little bit.

SPEAKER_03

You got a minute, and you'll be 48 September. In September. Now, the reason I bring this up, you know, last time before we get into our fun stories, is uh we chatted about uh conspiracy theories, but now I was like, you know what? I want to talk about this age thing because I remember as um a freshly divorced gentleman in my early 30s, I would do uh I did the online dating for a moment for about a year and it just didn't work out for me. But uh regardless, I remember you had to put in what you were looking for in a mate. Age-wise, right? And age came up, right? And I remember thinking, I might go to 40, you know, like I was 32. Thank you, Missy. And um now I'm I'm 48 years old, and we'll go to 40. Yeah, how low are you going? No, it's not even about that. It's it's that uh I remember when my father-in-law turned 50 because uh we went to his birthday celebration. And I remember at that time I was probably 22, maybe 21, and remember thinking, wow, that's really old, 50. And now I'm 48, and I don't feel old. Hell no.

SPEAKER_06

I started thinking about that because I was like, okay, so how old was my mom when she was dressing like an old lady when I was in high school?

SPEAKER_02

A totally different dress that people back then just.

SPEAKER_06

Younger than I am now.

SPEAKER_01

I just I don't want to turn into that guy that wears the white new bounces, the creepers, you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. They're so comfortable though.

SPEAKER_01

Don't let me epistep. Because I remember making fun of those guys. Oh, he's got new bounces on their white. Don't take candy from that guy.

SPEAKER_04

Hey, you get plantar fasciitis, you're gonna be here stuff.

SPEAKER_03

That's how you know we're old, is we know those words. Right?

SPEAKER_02

Plantar fasciitis.

SPEAKER_03

The wild part diabetes. Yeah, I went to a training event in Atlanta earlier this year, and uh, it was probably 40 of us from all over the U.S. that came in for my company. And it was uh the first time that somebody was like, well, the old guys, and they pointed at me, and I was like, shit, I'm an old guy now. Like I'm one of the old guys. Um Bradley Wood for Wayne County District.

SPEAKER_06

Happy Thursday.

SPEAKER_03

You know what? I give Bradley Wood credit for that. Is a great way to get yourself self-plugged for what you're running for.

unknown

He's smart.

SPEAKER_03

That is a smart man. Yeah, we get about uh Bradley. No, we're huge in Germany, so I don't know that about no the audio, the audio is big in Germany. Actually, it's been picking up in Great Britain. I love it. It's wild. We get about Do you think they call us Wenkas? I am not Wankstains. We get about five or six hundred views on our uh our shows here, and then I don't know what we get on YouTube, but uh hey, we're open for you know anybody wants to bring us to Great Britain, we'll have a podcast here. I'll do it Germany, man. For some reason, we're big in Germany. Bring us, let's go. Yeah, because we drank, I guess. We are here, but uh let me get back to this. I want to and I've been thinking no, no, no, no. This is my own fault too. I was running down the path thanks to Bradley. Something trying to um I it's I realize now at 48 years old that uh you start looking at segments in your life. And the wildest part for me, in a bad way, is there's a lot of people that I've known. Um my my stepdad, his brother just passed this week. Um shout out to Mike Snowden, uh mischief buddy. Uh was 54.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_03

And and you're starting to see people now that uh are good friends of mine that have passed that are my age, more or less. Yeah. You know, like it's not uncommon for somebody to be like our age and drop dead.

SPEAKER_02

Right. And I now I know why my grandmother looked at obituaries all the time. Yeah, first thing they looked at was the obituaries.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, she would always say that's where I'm gonna talk to my friends.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I it's why because I realize my father only lived to be 55.

SPEAKER_06

Same.

SPEAKER_03

And so now I start thinking, well, shit, I'm only seven years from that. Right. And that's the hard part for me as I start thinking about to like, you know, I've got to do some shit. Like, I gotta take care of myself. I get on ponder about it all the time. You gotta go to the doctor. You gotta go. The thing that I starting to realize, especially as a 48-year-old, the most important valuable thing that you own in this world is your health. Yeah, it doesn't matter what car you drive or if you've saved up some cool baseball cards or you've got a big fortune in your bank or whatever. Right. If you don't have health, then you don't have shit. Because hey, somebody else is gonna get that shit by it. Right. Well, and that's the other thing. Like every now and then I'll see auctions that pop up on social media.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I'm like, man, that's some cool shit. And I'm like, somebody took the time to collect it, and their parents or family or whatever, whoever's selling it's like, yeah, man, let's just see how much we can get for this. Right. It's like it don't mean anything to them.

SPEAKER_02

We talked about that before about buying bottles of bourbon, like expensive bottles. I yeah, I'm gonna open it and we're gonna drink all of it. You should okay, because they are gonna make way more of that after I'm gone.

SPEAKER_03

Well, and the whole point is if you don't open it up, you're not the one that's gonna even taste it. Right, right. Why would you buy an alcohol, throw it on the shelf, and then never taste it?

SPEAKER_06

I don't know that it's that you're never gonna taste it. I think that sometimes, so like we do have a bottle and it's like gonna it's held back for a special occasion. I'm like, what's a special occasion? Like, we need to like specify what it is.

SPEAKER_01

Chris, I think one thing that I've cracked as I get older is I start to reflect. This might be a little sappy, but I start to think about man, I want to tell everybody I love them because I might not be here the next year. You got to. That's what I say all the time. So like I I've been thinking a lot about that. Like, man, I made a lot of mistakes in my life. But you know what? I'm still here and I can tell people, hey, I love you because you're a big part of my life, and when I'm gone, I want you to remember me, you know. Right.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I think a lot of people, especially as you get older, you always kind of in your mind think about like who would miss me or what would my funeral be like. You won't know. No. And so it my big thing now is it's instead of sending flowers to the funeral, give them the flowers while they're alive. Right. And tell them, you know, like what you mean to me, or like you know, your friendship has meant to me. And yeah, and uh, but more importantly, like I said, you want to make sure that I mean I don't even know how old I want to live to be. You know, like I'm only like 20 years away from being in my 70s, right? Right. Or close 22. But it's really about quality of life. There's a lot of people that live for a long time, but they just they don't feel well, or so that I guess, you know, we joke a lot on this podcast and we talk about funny shit on here, but you know, this is the one thing I think I I really kind of reflected on as I was turning 48 was uh, you know, your health is the most valuable thing you have. And technology now is better than it's ever been, it will continue to get better. Oh, yeah. Go get the test done, do it, go get it, do it, yeah. Yeah. Um let's see. Farmer Brad says, when every we take Christmas, every year we take Christmas, it's a reminder that one year my grandpa was in it, and then next year he wasn't. That's exactly right. And you don't know when that is coming. No. The wildest part for me is like you'll hear about somebody our age that passes, and then you can go and look at their social media of like two months ago, and they're talking about something that's not important, just just like the shit we chat about. Hey, is what we did. Hey, look at these photos. You have no idea. I a good neighbor of mine um just passed away uh in his early 60s, and he had just celebrated, I think, his 60th birthday, as a matter of fact.

SPEAKER_00

He did.

SPEAKER_03

And um passed in his sleep. Yeah. And the wild part now is like my neighbor on the other side of me passed in his sleep in early 40s.

SPEAKER_06

And um gas line leaks in that neighborhood.

SPEAKER_03

I'm joking.

SPEAKER_06

I'm telling you, it's a bad joke. It's a bad joke. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03

No, I'm carbon and monoxide. I tell Amanda all the time, I'm like, if there is a neighborhood that's haunted, because there's two other people that I know of in two other houses that are all in the same row as mine that passed away. Oh shit. In that in their house. There's four houses house for sale. We need to get over here, man.

SPEAKER_02

Come on now.

SPEAKER_03

But we do a lot of stuff to do. They talk shit to that dolls with the fun. Yeah, well, I talked shit to it, and all I got was a cold. So I guess I'm a cuffs on bitch. The other thing I've really thought more about um uh Farmer Brad says uh I think people should pre-select some of their obituary photos because some of them are pretty wild.

SPEAKER_06

I kind of want mine to be wild because I don't give a shit what people think at this point.

SPEAKER_03

The wild one for me is when you see somebody and you're like, oh, that you know, it's not damn. They look attractive. That's and then you're you read about them and they're like, they're 82. What the hell picture was that from?

SPEAKER_02

About 20 years ago.

SPEAKER_03

Right. Well, maybe that's the way to go. No. It would uh it'd be interesting. Uh you know, a lot of people do these tests or classes where you write your own obituary now. And it would be interesting.

SPEAKER_04

I don't want to write my own. I mean, one of you guys to do it because she was a cool ass.

SPEAKER_03

Here's the beauty you can have AI write it now.

SPEAKER_00

There you go. GPT.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, GPT right now. Uh I also don't want a 30-year-old. Amen. Nobody believed me anyway. If I showed one with blonde hair and my, you know, down yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Before we go any farther, on your dating app.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

How early or how young would you put? Uh so I was probably, I think I was 33. Yeah, but now I'm talking at 48. Oh, at 48? What would you put?

SPEAKER_03

If we were happy, he's no, no, no, no, no. This is just I love Amanda, but I see what you're saying. That's a good, it's an interesting question. I would say 40. You wouldn't go lower than 40? No, 40 would probably be my cutoff, I think. What? You wouldn't go to like 24, 25, 30, 35?

SPEAKER_01

First of all, my son is going to be a home 22. All right, Kimmy, same question. What would yours be?

SPEAKER_06

I we don't want to ask Kimmy because Kimmy's. Why?

SPEAKER_01

Just theoretical, yeah. Kimmy's going younger, too. Yeah, you're a cougar, so what would you put?

SPEAKER_06

JP's 41. No, he's still 40.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, well, how low would you go if you had to go? He just turned 40.

SPEAKER_06

Uh you know what? Took him to Wu Tang to celebrate. I'm not going any younger because. So 41. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

All right, Pudding, your turn. Call me Leo, baby. Epstein Island Pudding. Oh my god. He's like, I want to at least be able to take him into a bar. Give me a name. We gotta do it. 40? Yeah, we made that up.

SPEAKER_03

What is wrong with you guys? What would yours be? 28. 28. And you're gonna be 49? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Ew.

SPEAKER_03

You know, I will. Who cares?

SPEAKER_06

You would have nothing in common. It would only be physical.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, it's my turn.

SPEAKER_02

All right. Yeah, okay. First of all, how old are you?

Gen Z "Shrekking" And Attraction

SPEAKER_01

Well, now I'm out. I've had mine since 18. Yeah, me too. Me too, Pudding. 2018. No. When I was 18. Oh. It's 1996.

SPEAKER_03

See, I this brings up as I prepare for the show, I read through a lot of articles, and I found one today, and it was on uh Gin Zers, and Gin Zers have a new turn called Shrekking.

SPEAKER_04

Shreking.

SPEAKER_03

Shreking, swear to God. And what it is, is it's people that date someone that they're not physically attracted to, but they know they're gonna be a good person. And it's called Shreking.

SPEAKER_04

I didn't know if they wanted to take them back to their mud bar or what.

SPEAKER_03

Uh so my question to you guys how important is being physically attracted to the person you're with? It's gotta be, right? It's gotta be, right? Yeah. At this age. I mean, you know, I say that until we were, like I said, we were in New Orleans.

SPEAKER_06

And I just hope they're like physically attracted to me, honestly. I'm at I'm 48 now.

SPEAKER_03

You all start with 19%. Missy, stop it, girl. Yeah. I uh I will say the one thing that I I used to travel a shit ton for work and stay in hotels all the time. Yeah. And uh we were in New Orleans uh just two weeks ago, and the one thing I picked up on and in hotels now is they still have those full-length mirrors in the bathroom. And I look at myself getting out of the showers like, Jesus Christ. I'm lucky anybody will sit next to me.

SPEAKER_06

I'm not even gonna lie. We redid our bathroom several years back. That was the first thing I was like, you have got to get rid of the full mirror because it's gotta be just like, I don't need to see that.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, I was in a hotel yesterday and it I did the same thing. I was like, Jesus, this looks bad. This looks so bad. I'm like, fuck where'd that fat roll come from?

SPEAKER_05

Hey, I'm gonna go back to the back. It was on your dick.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't know I didn't know what you know.

SPEAKER_03

All right. Uh that we've wasted enough time. Are you guys ready to jump into some stories? What you got, but uh yeah, I'll end it on this. Hey, you know, regardless of your age, make sure you're taking care of yourself. Go to the doctor. I know it can be a pain in the ass, and you don't like to necessarily sit in the waiting room or or that sort of thing. But uh, like I said, all you have is your health. And uh it's funny because I think to myself, like, I would hate to leave people. Yeah, but I also think I've got two dogs and a cat that I know they love me more than anybody else. And I think they'd be like, Where's he at? Man, that sucks. Right? Think about your pets. Like, I feel bad for these pets that you know they have the owner that passes and they're the only ones.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, those ones, the the videos where the dog goes.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. At least live for your pets. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06

Not the people.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, the people. Live for your dogs, not your cats. Jeremy, I do have to say one kind of creepy thing. We've been this will be our 30 years of being graduated.

SPEAKER_01

I know.

SPEAKER_06

You can't go under 30.

SPEAKER_01

Why?

SPEAKER_06

Who cares? Because they you could be their faja.

SPEAKER_03

Oh. I don't look at it like that. Missy said they have a birth year of 19. I can't even do that. Yeah, oh, it has to for Jeremy. Yeah. Even 1999, it's weird for me. It's like, man, I was a junior in college.

SPEAKER_01

It would probably be weird, like you said, but I mean, uh, age is just a factor, really. It is.

SPEAKER_06

It is.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. No, I mean, it I mean, if you're Dayton, who cares? I mean, look at what is the guy that the coach, old coach for the Patriots. Belichick. Yeah, look at Belichick or did you see the coach for Abel now is going into rehab because of he's missing the third day of the draft because of those pictures with that lady who was holding him up. What's that got to do with rehab? No, he said he's going to rehab because he's sex addict. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I mean For his family, but I was just like David E'Covney had that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Actually, Tiger Woods said he would. That dude's addicted to a lot of shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

A lot of sex.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_03

Except for driving, because he sucks at it. Right. How did you become rich and famous and not hire a fucking driver? Hey, man. I was like, he's like, how did Norcos get in there?

SPEAKER_06

More T E wise than John Daly.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, how'd them Norcos get in here, man? That's just Norco. We ain't got a prescription for that.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but one of them was caused because he was drunk driving. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

We didn't want to bring that up.

Snake Bite Panic And Chopped Finger

SPEAKER_03

All right. Here's our first story. This comes to us from China in 2019. It's fake. Hey, if this is yours, you just hold on to it. A uh 60-year-old man was working in eastern China when he felt a sharp pain in his hand. When he looked down, a snake had latched onto his finger. He pulled the snake off, but the damage was done. His finger started swelling, adrenaline was pumping, and he thought that everything was over because in that area there is a snake that is called the five-step snake. It's rumored to kill within moments. It's uh very uh a very highly venomous species. And fearing the venom would spread through his body, he made a split-second decision. He grabbed an axe and a cut off his finger. Nice. He wrapped the wound and traveled miles to a hospital. It was a gardener. No, it didn't say what he was doing.

SPEAKER_06

I'm kidding. No. Oh, garter.

SPEAKER_03

Garter. Yeah, like yeah, it's yeah, it's not an actual gardener snake.

SPEAKER_06

I've lived to be 47 without knowing it's not a gardener snake.

SPEAKER_03

Tell me you're from the Midwest without telling me.

SPEAKER_01

Jimmy, I'm right there with you. I thought it was a gardener too. Oh, gardener snake. That's what I thought they were doing.

SPEAKER_03

Hang out with the plumber snakes. I hate snakes.

SPEAKER_06

I like those plumber snakes.

SPEAKER_03

I hate snakes.

SPEAKER_01

Um would you have the balls though to immediately chop off your finger? I'm panicked. I've seen that shit though in Georgia. My friend got hit by a rattler. We were playing basketball in eighth grade. And uh it was crazy, man. Yeah. I hate snakes.

SPEAKER_03

There's always the joke about if you and your buddy are out and he gets bit by a dick, what are you gonna say at his funeral? Because you're not gonna suck the venom out. Yeah. I hate snakes, man. I do too. I really do. I'm not a fan at all. How and I want to talk about people that have snakes as pets.

SPEAKER_06

And I was like, what? No, bit on the dick.

SPEAKER_03

A rattler. Rattler.

SPEAKER_06

Sometimes you get bit by the dick.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, well, hey. Sometimes, barr, you choose.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's a prison.

SPEAKER_03

There's some other things that bite you on the dick, but the guy traveled to the hospital for treatment. Doctors treated the injury, evaluated his condition, and they expected to see signs of serious envenimation. Man, it's amazing how much more clear I can say these words when I'm not intoxicated. Good thing I started with this one first. Uh, medical staff told him the bite was not life-threatening, and that was a drastic amputation because apparently the snake wasn't venomous at all.

SPEAKER_06

You cut the head off of the snake and take that in.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

While it's still on your finger. You gotta look for the diamond head. Put that back on. They said he likely would have recovered with standard treatment. And uh, you know, this is I you know, if it's it's just a finger.

SPEAKER_06

Now he sucks at texting.

SPEAKER_03

Oh he lost his girlfriend one. And he can't point at you with the left or the right. Absolutely. They're pretty solid at it. Pretty good. Yeah. He really just need these few.

SPEAKER_04

Just a couple.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, you can't even ask your ask your lady friend too. Two and the pink one and the stinking.

SPEAKER_02

I used to work with a guy. He had four fingers in one hand, and I'd have to look. If I if I need four, I'll handle up this hand. If I need five, I'll hold up the other hand.

SPEAKER_01

He can't even give the shocker properly.

SPEAKER_03

That would be the setup, man. You don't even need a metal one.

SPEAKER_00

It might be better.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, that's what came in. You don't have to worry about bending one down. Uh might feel softer.

SPEAKER_02

This is what happens when we haven't done one of these in a while. It's been a minute. Sorry.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. This isn't yeah. I did see this year where uh the Golden Globes now does a uh a best podcast. Oh, yeah, we're not gonna submit this episode.

SPEAKER_02

Come on, we'll we'll find one. We'll get there.

SPEAKER_03

Uh I I'm with you though, Jeremy, on snakes. I don't understand how people keep pet snakes. I checked on the way here to see if pet like a dog actually will develop feelings for the owner. There's a true bond between the two. They actually say with between inner species, I believe that's the strongest bond is between a human being and a dog. Right. And uh I checked on snakes. Snakes uh they don't have the mind capacity to love. Actually, what they basically said was if uh they're cool to you, it's just they're not threatened. Right. And so they're not concerned about that moment. But believe me, you, if they uh had a chance to eat your ass and it meant the difference between survival spectrum.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, because I've also seen some of those that they if they like cuddle you real good, it means that they're just sizing up sizing you up.

SPEAKER_03

The wild part is you'll see pictures of people that put a baby in, like with a fucking python stupidity.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, like no probe. I call them noprope.

SPEAKER_01

That shit better be anaconda if it snugs up than me and Dalton are putting.

SPEAKER_02

20 foot long anaconda.

SPEAKER_01

My badass. Yeah, diabetes. He's like, I can't eat that fat fuck.

The 43 Million Jackpot Glitch

SPEAKER_03

That snake's gonna lose its feet. It's gonna get drunk one. All right, 2016. This comes to us from New York. A woman in New York, Katrina Bookman, had just hit one of the biggest jackpots in casino history. She was uh playing a penny slot at the uh resort's world casino, and the screen suddenly lit up with a staggering number, nearly 43 million dollars. Whoa. Lights flashed, alarms sounded, and she even snapped a picture with the machine, a selfie. Glitch. Uh, what are you buying? Legitimately. 43 million? Like, what's one thing that a new back? A yacht.

SPEAKER_02

A backyotomy.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, a yacht. A yacht? Yep, 100%. Oh god, I think it's a good one. Where would you put it? Florida. I'd just sit on the water, man. You guys come over and visit.

SPEAKER_06

And wait for the hurricane?

SPEAKER_01

Sure.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, you could move away from it though. Yeah. That's the beauty. Uh, there was one of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons was when they uh they had to go into hiding because uh Sideshow Bob wanted to kill Bart Bart. And Homer made the joke about and now that we're on a houseboat, if we don't like our neighbors, we could leave. And every houseboat around them picked up and left.

SPEAKER_01

But uh a boat, okay. I don't know. I've always wanted to like have a boat to retire.

SPEAKER_03

Like the Jimmy Buffett style, like in the keys. I think I would love to do that. Do you hear the story as we go in through this? This is uh I don't have a funny bit about it, but it just happened in the Caribbean where the lady and her husband were on the dinghy and she came up missing. No, this is all true. She was on the dinghy, she came up missing, yeah. Yeah, so the uh the husband and the wife, uh, they've been married, I think, 25 years. They've been together. And uh they were in the Caribbean and they traveled around, and um they uh the daughter and the mother-in-law of the man said that there had been some issues in the past, but regardless, apparently the wife fell off the boat. Oh, right after getting hit in the head with a child. I don't know. They never found the body. They indicted him. That's shark food. Yeah, so Mike, uh that's why I mean, how do you know that he did it?

SPEAKER_01

You don't. Lie detector, maybe.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but I don't think a lie detector will hold up in court.

SPEAKER_01

They don't.

SPEAKER_03

I don't think they don't. I don't know. You've got to have a conscience for the lie detector to work in the first place. Yeah. You know, but regardless.

SPEAKER_02

And I think after 25 years, he probably doesn't.

SPEAKER_01

He's probably thought about this over and over missy 43 million babes.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my gosh. I know.

SPEAKER_01

Leonardo DiCaprio, that's what he does. Sits on his boat with his 21-year-olds.

SPEAKER_06

Well it's still weird.

SPEAKER_01

But hey, he there is hope for him because she's 26 now.

SPEAKER_02

Of course, she's got millions of dollars in I know.

SPEAKER_01

He can do whatever he wants.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, if it's legal. Uh okay. Uh Katrina Boakman, she just won all this money. 43 million bucks. Uh, casino staff told her to return the next day. They had to verify the win. Negative. When she came back, she was told the machine had a glitch. She hadn't won anything. I'm not leaving until you give me my money. Instead of offering the maximum amount that that machine actually paid out, which was$6,500, the casino offered her a steak dinner. Nope. There was no way in hell I would have left until I had something in grinding to see her money. I'd be owning that place. She went from thinking she had won$43 million to a steak dinner.

SPEAKER_04

I hope she didn't rack up the credit card.

SPEAKER_02

Nope. I would have not let you get me out of there until I get something in writing, I'm getting that money.

SPEAKER_03

The reason a standard casino rules um essentially says that if the machine glitches, the payout doesn't count. Oh, of course. Okay, so that can be any machine.

SPEAKER_06

Who signs that waiver?

SPEAKER_03

The State Gaming Commission told an ABC affiliate that it would be illegal to offer her even the$6,500, noting the malfunction void all pays and plays.

SPEAKER_02

How is it a malfunction? I want to know how it was a malfunction.

SPEAKER_03

So something there was a glitch in the machine, and for some reason it paid out 43 million bucks. Now, here's the sad part. Bookman said the money would have been a lot to her and her family. She had been raised in foster care and experienced homelessness as a teenager before raising four kids on her own. She had planned to use millions to buy her son a barber shop and help out her community. She had a steak dinner. Give her what is that? A GoFundMe page. Yeah, I need to look up and see if anybody did anything for her because that's wild.

SPEAKER_02

You know, I'll be catching the arson charge. Real quick.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I would be stuck in the world.

SPEAKER_01

I'd burn that bitch down. I'm with you, but burn that bitch down. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06

There has to be something that, like some kind of loophole that's no game of question. If they say it's a glitch, you better you take out the company that made that machine because you better get Johnny Cochran on the scene. I'm gonna need 100,000 at least.

SPEAKER_03

100,000. He went from 43 million to a T-bone.

SPEAKER_06

I have 100,000 over a T-bone steak.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my gosh. That shit better be prime cut. Can you imagine like how you feel the moment you think you just won 43 million dollars and you come back the next? And here's the thing. You know going home at night, you're like, they ain't gonna give me that money. I know, I'm gonna come back with that phone. They ain't gonna give me that money. Yeah, Bubba, appreciate it. I'd rub rob them bitches.

SPEAKER_02

No, I'm showing up with a gas can right there on the table. What you gonna say? That's my thought.

SPEAKER_03

43 million dollars.

SPEAKER_06

Hey, you can make more than a steak dinner going to jail for doing that.

unknown

Fuck it.

Hickey, Blood Clot, Fatal Stroke

SPEAKER_03

That's what they said. All right, here's our fourth story. This comes to us from Mexico City 2016. A uh speaking of young love, a tragic and unusual case out of Mexico City made headlines after a 17-year-old boy suddenly died following what seemed like a completely harmless moment. The teen had been spending time with his girlfriend earlier in the evening. Later that night, while eating dinner with his family, he suddenly began convulsing and collapsed. Emergency services were called and he died shortly after. Initially, there was confusion about what caused such a sudden and severe medical event in a otherwise healthy teenager.

unknown

I know.

SPEAKER_03

Do you? Blue balls. No. Doctors later determined that it was caused by a stroke. And what triggered it?

SPEAKER_06

A stroking.

SPEAKER_03

A hickey on his neck. Medical experts believe that the suction caused a blood clot to form, which then traveled to his brain and led to the fatal stroke. While the case gained widespread attention, experts stressed that incidents like this are extremely rare. Wow. And most hickeys are harmless until the father sees them. I had another one. So there you go. I think hickeys are the grossest looking thing.

She called me out. Uh anyway, this guy shows up with uh his date, 23 family members. The group preceded to order, they were treating the outing more like a banquet. By the end of the mill, the bill was$20,000 or about$3,000 American. Can I pay for my meal? The man refused to pay for everyone and left, agreeing only to cover a small portion of the cost. The situation escalated to the point where authorities got involved.

SPEAKER_04

I'm gonna say there's no second date.

SPEAKER_03

Oh no. Why would he be like, I'm out? No, no wing chung. In the end, the woman who had invited the entire group was held responsible for the majority of the bill.

SPEAKER_02

I'd hope so.

SPEAKER_03

So what turned out to be a first date turned into a 23-person dinner tab.

SPEAKER_06

This is the fake one.

SPEAKER_03

Who thought she could bring that many people?

SPEAKER_06

You know why? Because they're like, do you know 23 of your family members that you'd want to invite to talk about? I told you.

SPEAKER_01

It's either the first one or the last one.

SPEAKER_02

I'm gonna say the alligator.

SPEAKER_01

First one or last one.

SPEAKER_03

All right, so we're gonna let you all vote. You say either the snake chopping off his finger.

SPEAKER_01

It's the first or the last one. I'm going with Kimmy on the last one.

SPEAKER_03

And you're going with the last one. And you're the alligator. I'm like, last one. It's the alligator. Jesus. Yes. There's actually a uh I've seen some shit happen in the Waffle House, though. So I haven't seen the other one. There's there's actually what happened, it's kind of funny. They this guy had his uh mugshot showed up. Missy. And uh people made the story up based upon his mugshot, and people thought it was real. But yeah, so this guy literally showed up with 23 people that showed up on his first date. I would have paid for my portion and bound.

SPEAKER_06

I was like, you can hardly get six people to be able to agree on a same day.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. Free food is free food. I know a lot of people show up for a free meal. Yeah, oh yeah. A lot of it. People love a free meal.

SPEAKER_06

And your family?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, baby. Yeah, who doesn't love a free meal? I don't even know if I'm not.

SPEAKER_06

I know, but can you imagine 23 with your family members just being like, hey, we'll show up for the date.

SPEAKER_03

That's the other wild part. Like my immediate family and like immediate, like a relative. I don't have on my mom's side, I have no aunts or uncles left. I lost every grandparent by the time I was 19. Uh my dad passed. I only have the one sister.

Fast Food Prices And Donation Doubts

SPEAKER_01

What were they eating though? For$30,000 for 23 people? Yeah, but what that isn't that much. Yeah, but you're talking$20,$25 a plate. That isn't fuck. That's McDonald's now.

SPEAKER_05

Oh my god. Hey, long$25.

SPEAKER_01

I just ate there last night.

SPEAKER_02

Taco Bell will cost me and my kids. It'll cost if I get it for my kids, it's at least$30.

SPEAKER_01

I just wonder what they're eating because three.

SPEAKER_02

I was gonna say, how many of the kids? It's all the kids, not me. That's me not getting anything. For how much? It'd be about$25.30. Where at?

SPEAKER_03

Taco Bell. You didn't even know you could spend that kind of money.

SPEAKER_01

Taco Bell's expensive, man.

SPEAKER_06

It's$12.99 for a combo. You gotta get the app.

SPEAKER_02

I remember when that the I usually got the uh was it$12 pack of tacos? Because three of them.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

It started out at$9.99. That thing is like$29.99.

SPEAKER_01

It's expensive. You gotta get the app, though. The app.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you can get some bonus points.

SPEAKER_01

Get the app, get the like McDonald's.

SPEAKER_02

Missy's like, at that age, can it be takeout?

SPEAKER_03

The wild part for me is as I'll go through that line at Taco Bell, and they're always like, Do you want to round up for a children's education? Oh no. I'm like, I've been paying for a children's education for the last 20 years.

SPEAKER_01

I heard it, I heard it today because I I was on the phone with Ashley, and they were like, Would you like to round up for Boys and Girls Club?

SPEAKER_02

You know, they get none of that money. They get like a penny.

SPEAKER_03

And and all that money is just a tax write-off for the Taco Bell. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know, that shit's all bullshit. Like, they raised all this tens of millions of dollars for all those people that lost their home in the Palisades fires, and none of that money ended up in the family.

SPEAKER_02

Nobody got that money.

SPEAKER_01

I do uh I do like the Ronald McDonald house though.

SPEAKER_02

Because I mean I watched a uh podcast.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Mike uh Mike Rowe. You're talking about that. Somebody tried to build a house. The pylons alone that they want you to use to build a house on that Palisades is gonna run you 2.3 million.

SPEAKER_06

Good not.

SPEAKER_03

Just for the pylons to put the house on. There's rumors that that shit started on purpose and they let it all burn down because they need to build housing out there that are the take away all these single family homes.

SPEAKER_02

It was with Adam Corolla, and he called it. He goes, Watch, you're not gonna build these houses back, you're not gonna get permits, and if you do it's gonna be expensive. And he he has a videos of it. It's like 20-some pylons. Oh, yeah, that's gonna cost them 2.3. That's just for the pylons. The why is that?

SPEAKER_06

Does there have to be fire retardant or what?

SPEAKER_03

It's it's there's slide-based.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

There's so many uh issues out there right now. I I just saw this this week where California, if if based upon GDP, is the fourth biggest economy in the world. Yeah, it's bigger than some nations. It's bigger than Japan, it's bigger than India.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_03

And it just that little state. Well, I mean, it's not little, but it's not big, yeah. It's like 17% of the U.S. economy comes out of California. And a lot of it is it's five tech companies that are all worth over a trillion dollars apiece. Meta is based there, Google is based there, uh Tesla moved.

SPEAKER_06

Uh where's Amazon based?

SPEAKER_03

I they may be based there. What's wild though is all those people that own those companies are all moving to Miami. I think Amazon, isn't it like Arizona or Nevada?

SPEAKER_06

I have no idea. Not a clue.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, because it's not technically a it's NVIDIA might be one. Yeah. It's the other thing that was in, I was looking this. I don't this is where my mind goes during the day now. Nice. Uh I was looking up how many billionaires live in the United States in just Indiana.

SPEAKER_03

Joe Rogan, he goes to Joe. Pull up the video of the chimpanzees killing the other chimpanzees. Like that's the kind of shit that he does. Actually, I saw a thing about that the other day where there's these big chimpanzees like race wars between themselves. They've been fighting forever. And they've killed like 20 of the and they kill the babies and eat the babies of the other. They've been fighting how long? Did you see that one? They've been fighting for years. It's chimpanzee and they're like 93% same as us genetically. And we wonder why we're so fucked up.

SPEAKER_02

What is it? How long has uh US been a country? 250 years now?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. 250 this year, yeah. This year?

SPEAKER_02

We are over eight years old into this whole thing. And I was thinking about that this week. If you uh you look at your life, you know, again, the birthday thing and the health thing, you go through periods, and like you think the first 18 years you're your life, you're basically just getting through school. Right.

SPEAKER_06

And you're just developing your brain.

SPEAKER_03

So my 20s uh is when I started to build a family. You get married, uh, we had kids, right? My 30s was me now. Right. My 40s have been dominated by after two beers. Yeah. And what's cool, the year I turn 50 will be our 10-year anniversary. That's awesome. Because I assume we're gonna keep doing well. Hell, we've got dates planned out now until New Year's Eastern.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, we can do that. Okay. Uh we'll figure it out. On a boat. Yeah, we need to do something on a boat. With your we're on the boat, fireworks off the boat if you want. Yeah. I've always wanted to do that off the reservoir. I thought that'd be badass. Get a barge and put it on the reservoir and shoot fireworks off of it.

SPEAKER_06

People do it at other reservoirs and lakes and stuff.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, it's just a matter of doing it. I mean, if you do anything.

SPEAKER_06

Between the podcast and podcast, trivia, music theme nights, and I'm still trying to come up with. I really think maybe we should work with RCT here locally or somebody. But I really think a pub crawl where you get a clue or a couple clues at each place you go. Yeah, I think that's badass.

SPEAKER_06

Or it could be like special cups, like clues on the cups.

SPEAKER_03

Well, the idea is that you go to the bar and there is a reason at maybe that's at the bar or whatever. It's like a I don't know, like a poker run, but of like you know, people love real crime. Yeah, I think it'd be kind of cool. That'd be great.

SPEAKER_06

I think it would be.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I think it would be too. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06

Maybe it's with a candlestick.

SPEAKER_03

I've never played Clue. Colonel Mustard. Never? Never we're gonna do that. Clue's fun.

SPEAKER_02

Reach Out And Take Care

SPEAKER_03

Uh I have a 3D printer. Get with me. I'll help. Okay. Yeah. I'd love to do it. Love to do it. All right. Uh, we say it at the end of every show, and you know what's funny? Um, not funny, ha ha, but you know, sometimes, you know, we think we're doing this just for ourselves, just as a uh it's almost like therapy. But uh every now and then um we hear a really cool story, and I've heard it twice now in the last month, where individuals hear what we say at the end of this podcast, and it really connects with individuals. And it's the most important thing we say on all of these shows, we say it in our trivia. I used to say it on the point when I uh was able to do those shows, and it's simply this uh the world's hard, man. Yeah. And we're all struggling. And whether it's you're losing somebody that means a lot to you, or um, you know, maybe you're down on your luck or or just whatever, you know, mental health is a big damn deal. And I love the fact that we live in a world today where you can just I fight anxiety all the time. I might seem like the most happy-go-lucky person you'll ever meet. And for some reason, there are days I will struggle and have a panic attack that you can't see it, but inside I'm struggling to breathe. Screaming, yeah. And it happens to everybody. And all I'm saying is uh, first of all, if you're going through that, don't be ashamed or afraid to talk to somebody about getting some help or just saying, hey, will you listen to me? Or just but the other one, and this is a big one, is if you see someone or you know of someone that they just don't seem like themselves, maybe they uh they just for whatever reason they just seem a little off. Don't talk about it later, don't send the flowers, give them a call, give them a text, stop by their house. I don't know, maybe don't do that nowadays. People don't like you stopping by randomly. But uh reach out to them and just tell them you love them, tell them you care about them, tell them you appreciate them. Um they matter. Yeah, we all go through things, you know. I mean, I'm at the age now and I joke about it, but a lot of the things that we get to is you get in your own mind and you're like, shit. Like you see someone that passes, and you think to yourself, I don't know, maybe that could be me. And all of a sudden now you're running down the The path or yeah, the hardest thing that you get to our age on is you start losing people that are important in your life, and Christmas isn't the same, and holidays aren't the same, and birthdays aren't the same.

SPEAKER_02

And you look around and like, what am I supposed to do?

SPEAKER_06

Things pile up. I'm telling you, shit's expensive, life is hard.

SPEAKER_03

It's it's just like locally, we have these two guys that are running for sheriff and it's all over town. And if I read all of the things I read about these two individuals, and you focus just on the positive, they both sound like really good dudes. Yeah. Right. Let's focus on the positive shit that's going on in this world, in this community, all over. And if we take care of each other and we're good to each other, you know what? I think we're all gonna make it in the end.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

That's all I'm saying. Take care of each other. That's right. And in the meantime, we're gonna talk about people cutting their own fingers off and all the other fun shit.

SPEAKER_06

So I'm gonna bring 23 people to the next podcast buying the drinks. All right.

SPEAKER_02

I'll buy a case of beer.

SPEAKER_03

There we go. All right, we say it's uh at the end of the show, Gibbler pudding. I think we'll talk to them all next time. Yeah, after two beers.

SPEAKER_00

Take me home! Take me home home.
