#198 After 2 Beers: Chicken Math, Jail Politics & Headlines That Sound Fake

One minute we’re debating whether cruise ships are just floating germ factories, and the next we’re spiraling into a surprisingly heated argument about how many eggs a chicken can actually lay in a day. That’s how this episode goes, but underneath the laughs is a real conversation about small-town life, local politics, and the struggle of keeping independent local shows alive without community support.

We get into Indiana local elections, low voter turnout, and why so many people complain after the fact while skipping the ballot box altogether. Then we break down what a sheriff can actually control inside a county jail, from food quality and budgeting to inmate dignity and accountability. It’s the kind of local government conversation most people ignore until it affects them personally.

From there, the headlines get absolutely unhinged. We talk about a woman allegedly chasing a kid down a sidewalk with her car, a missing person investigation complicated by heavily filtered social media photos, and Finnish Air Force cadets reportedly drawing crude images in the sky. Somehow it only gets stranger from there.

But there’s also some real humanity in this one. We cover the story of a teenager using a Make-A-Wish opportunity to feed 300 homeless people, plus a frustrating Walmart disability lawsuit that raises serious questions about ADA damage caps and whether massive corporations are ever truly held accountable.

If you like weird news with heart, local conversations with actual substance, and the occasional emergency expert appearance from Farmer Brad to settle chicken math once and for all, this episode is for you.

Cruise Ships As Germ Factories

SPEAKER_05 0:01

You go places and you're on a ship which is basically a petri dish in itself. Right. You know, when you fly, you're it's it's same deal. Yeah, but it's not all of that air is just 30 days.

SPEAKER_04 0:13

So what was that what was the deal with the two people that got off or whatever?

SPEAKER_04 0:32

I I have they looking for I heard there's like a bunch of people they're looking for that got off and like they were just like, yeah, no, really, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 0:40

I heard it takes up to a month sometimes for that illness to show up. Oh, no way.

SPEAKER_04 0:44

I haven't read into it, but I've just been seeing headlines, but I haven't really looked into it.

SPEAKER_05 0:48

Well, we clearly didn't handle COVID well.

SPEAKER_04 0:50

Right? No, we did not.

SPEAKER_06 0:52

But what's what's more concerning is that like where this virus comes from, it's like mouse and rat PMD.

SPEAKER_05 0:59

Dropping PM, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it just takes one mouse to get in and drop something in somebody's cereal, and now the humans are passing it back and forth to each other.

SPEAKER_04 1:10

It was mainly there, but now it's human contact.

SPEAKER_06 1:14

Yeah.

unknown 1:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:16

It's all right there.

SPEAKER_06 1:17

Yeah, we'll want to be in quarantine again. Please know.

SPEAKER_04 1:20

I can stand to lose a little weight. That's fine.

SPEAKER_05 1:25

That's funny.

Sponsors Local Bars And Events

SPEAKER_05 1:27

Uh thanks to our uh buddy Kevin Shook here at uh Global Media Enterprises for hooking us up. You know, um, I gotta tell you, Kevin does a good job. I uh I've watched some live events from local other operations and it was a little spotty, but Kevin does a hell of a job down here. So if you're looking to to host something live and actually have it work pretty well, I would reach out to Kevin. Kevin, yeah, but it's just uh first ones on the house. Yeah. Trial runs. Yeah, I guess then they suck you in. But uh no, thanks to our buddy Kevin. If you're looking to do something like this as well, uh make sure you reach out to Kevin Shook here at Global Media, he'll hook you up with uh whatever you need to do to do these things. And he can do live remotes and he can also do some other things with his drone and things. So make sure you reach out to Kevin. Uh, I want to make sure we also thank our other sponsors. Uh, we've got uh the bottle shop here locally that uh hooks us up with all these great liquors that uh get us primed and ready to go for the evenings. Thank you to the bottle shop.

SPEAKER_07 2:30

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:31

Uh thank you. A lot of love and support to our buddy Brian down at the Moose here locally. Uh we've done some um uh country nights down there. We're gonna do some more music throughout the rest of the year. And uh they've got all kinds of live music. The cool part is I think he said the last time I talked to him that uh I think they've got almost every weekend booked from now until the end of the year.

SPEAKER_06 2:54

Well, not even just every weekend, but they also have every other Thursday for the line dance classes.

SPEAKER_05 2:59

So like if people wanted to prime before they come to our country nine, no, I will say the one thing I do like about that place is first of all, it is uh it's arguably the biggest dance floor in Richmond. Right. And it works out great for country nights because people get out there and they line dance.

SPEAKER_07 3:16

Right.

SPEAKER_05 3:17

But the other thing is it's 100% smoke-free. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because we go to some other places that, as uh my buddy Eric Ellers told me one time, I took him to the pony here. And he goes, That place is great, but it smells like cancer. It's so uh deep fried sometimes. Yeah, little thing. You gotta appreciate the smoke-free aspect of uh the moose. So oh kid friendly too. Yeah, that's the other thing. Uh, we, you know, there's kids out there dancing and having a good time, and yeah, and uh they sell a lot of alcohol too.

SPEAKER_06 3:47

And that's a reasonable price.

SPEAKER_05 3:49

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good stuff. Uh so thank you to those guys. Uh, thank you to the VFW that continues to support us with our trivia nights. We've got uh a few of those scheduled. If you go out to our uh Facebook page right now, After Two Beers, uh, you can find all of the events on there, at least for the uh the live music, um, the trivia and these podcasts. We started a little late tonight. I was in a golf league, and uh it went horribly for me. But it was first week.

SPEAKER_04 4:19

It's first week.

SPEAKER_05 4:20

Yeah, build a handicap.

SPEAKER_06 4:22

Build that handicap.

SPEAKER_05 4:23

Tiger Woods can't drive, but he can play golf. I can play, I can drive, but I can't golf. I can't. Yeah. He and I should hang out together. I could drive him around and he can play golf.

SPEAKER_04 4:32

I don't know. It's in the back of your car.

SPEAKER_05 4:38

You better hush your mouth. You better shush your mouth on that boy. Christy Penn says, totally agree. I hate cigarettes. You know, I don't normally mind them, but like uh there's uh the VFW here locally. I'll just I'll just give them a shout-out. They do these Queen of Hearts things that have gotten so popular now all over the Midwest. You know, it used to be like meat auctions where people try to win a package of meat. Yeah, now people are doing these Queen of Hearts things and they're up to like 70,000.

SPEAKER_04 5:04

This room's up to 70 something, isn't it? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:06

But I walked in there last night we sat in there and we played Euchre, and they're smoking. They have a smoking and a non-smoking and the smoke, I'm like, I had to take my clothes off and like hide them in another room.

SPEAKER_06 5:16

I put them in the washer immediately.

SPEAKER_05 5:18

Oh, it's horrible. On you, it's on you. Oh yeah, yeah, it's not good.

SPEAKER_06 5:23

No, uh and it's still not the worst place, like as far as smokiness.

SPEAKER_05 5:28

Where's the worst?

SPEAKER_06 5:30

End zone.

SPEAKER_05 5:31

The end zone? I haven't been in there forever, though. We haven't been there in it.

SPEAKER_06 5:34

For a reason. Last time we went there, we're like, oh my god, I'm gonna have to change up my contacts.

SPEAKER_05 5:39

Yeah, it's not good. The Marlboro man's like, God damn, it's smoky in here. Uh yeah what else we got going on? Who else should we thank? Uh uh Wallace Heating and Air. Wallace Heating and Air. They provide uh the uh tickets for us, and uh well, and pyrotechnics. Yeah, uh getting right kickoff. Christy Kent says it cleans to your hair so bad. Oh I think E Street is bad as well. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's funny. Like Amanda will let me go to certain bars that she'll go with me to, dependent upon hair wash days. I need to wash my hair tomorrow, so yeah, we can go down there. That's uh I just washed my hair. No, we're out. I gotta go home. That's so funny to me. Uh, I guess that is the one you don't have hair. Well, yeah, I understand this. I get it, I get it. I I'm not hating. No, I'm just simply saying those are the types of discussions that we have about evenings out, right?

SPEAKER_07 6:35

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:36

Yeah, it's funny because downtown Indianapolis, I think everything there is smoke-free. Oh, and the entire state of Ohio is smoke-free. Yeah, it's the one thing the buckeyes have figured out. I have uh I have no problem with people that want to smoke and have a good time. I I think what they should do is maybe develop an area that maybe throw little heaters out there. And if you want to go smoke, go smoke. Do it outside. Make in the place. Area 51.

SPEAKER_06 7:04

Just maybe not with a heater.

SPEAKER_05 7:06

Uh, here locally, uh what is going on? Uh, the flying mummies are getting ready to kick off their inaugural season. So that's really cool. Yeah. Uh, nothing but love and support for those guys. We should reach out to them and see what it would cost to sponsor. I don't know. Get a sign out there. Put a sign out there.

SPEAKER_06 9:01

Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, I mean, we're social influencers, that's kind of I mean, I I tend to go through reels and tiki talkies, so blood in the street. Blood in the street.

SPEAKER_05 9:14

All right.

Local Elections And Low Turnout

SPEAKER_05 9:15

Now, uh, before we jump into our stories, um I wanted to ask you guys uh something that was pretty important this week, at least here locally, and um became a national deal here about Indiana as well, was politics. Yeah. Voting.

SPEAKER_06 9:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:31

Did you vote? I did. Did you? When did you go?

SPEAKER_06 9:34

Um I actually took off work early. I worked through my lunch and I got off work at two.

SPEAKER_05 9:39

On Tuesday. Yep. So you voted the day of.

SPEAKER_06 9:42

Yep, day to day of.

SPEAKER_05 9:44

Did you vote? No, because I just moved and I didn't know. Oh, okay. Uh Shulk, did you vote? Oh yeah. Did you really? Oh yeah. I do everything. Early or two, so early. So that's wild. So I know AJ did not vote. Oh. Oh, but you know, she did make it. But what the reason I bring it up is because here locally, I think there was 50 to 60,000 potential voters, and I think there was 8,000 total that voted. And people are pissed about it. And uh happens every time.

SPEAKER_04 10:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 10:19

I think we talked about this before. No one ever's happy about the volume of people that show up to vote. Right. But I don't know that it's on the voter to be like they have to care. Right. So, like here locally, the biggest race was for sheriff. Right. Yeah. And I got I don't even really know what the sheriff does here locally. You know, I know they I know they police the county, right? Whereas uh local police police the city right now, and I know the jurisdictions they can go back and forth, but why would one sheriff be better than another? Right. I don't really know.

SPEAKER_06 10:56

Administration.

SPEAKER_05 10:57

Administration. Yeah, but what does that mean? Has one actually. I mean then it's because technically the police have administration, the the local cops, right?

SPEAKER_06 11:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 11:06

But I mean so as an example, AJ and I have been watching the show on So like the they're like the chief Yeah, but but what are the county but what does that get them?

What A Sheriff Can Change

SPEAKER_05 11:16

So an example, AJ and I have been watching the show on Netflix, it's called Unlocked, where um they go into a pod in a local jail and they basically open it up and let the the inmates run the asylum. Okay and but that's a decision made by the sheriff and the sheriff can do other things.

SPEAKER_04 11:36

I know within the jail, yeah, they can determine like uh what types of food is provided to the inmates, would they wear like the one in Arizona used to wake them wear all wear pink, yeah, and nothing but baloney baloney sandwiches, yeah all the time.

unknown 11:51

Huh.

SPEAKER_06 11:52

I don't know here locally, I honestly don't. No, I mean so I'll I'll be completely honest.

SPEAKER_05 11:56

And it's okay. I mean, obviously, I've admitted the same. And the only reason I'm saying that I bring it up is because if you want a voter to go out and vote, you really need to let them know why they should be voting for you specifically. And I also was curious, I looked this up. How many people vote, especially during the presidential elections? Uh, not so much that you want your candidate to win as much as you don't want the other guy to win. Yeah. And during the presidential elections, the last one, it was 40%. Right. It was either 40% of people wasn't like they voted for Trump not because they liked Trump, but just because they did not want Harris. Yeah. Yeah. Or vice versa. Right. Right. And I'm curious that locally they said it's up to 33%. Where someone's like, I just, it's not that I like this particular candidate. I just don't like that dude.

SPEAKER_04 12:49

Or like now, or okay. Yeah, I'd say that. Or just somebody that goes in and just votes straight Republican, straight Democrat. Just yeah, straight take on.

SPEAKER_05 12:58

Yeah. Yeah. It's uh the other thing that I've really gotten into as uh Ann Powell says, I can guarantee the food at the jail is uh she works there, she does the food there. I don't know what I don't know what the emojis are, but uh I'm gonna guess it's not delicious.

SPEAKER_04 13:15

Bread and it's great, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_05 13:17

Well, here's the thing. Okay, these are human beings that have made a mistake in their life, okay, and they've been put into jail. But shouldn't you serve them at least foods that are healthy?

SPEAKER_06 13:34

I can promise you this. Last time I went to the grocery, the healthy shit's expensive.

SPEAKER_04 13:39

Oh, chef's kiss, she says.

SPEAKER_06 13:41

Chef's kiss. Oh.

SPEAKER_04 13:42

Oh, okay. Um I'm sure it's all healthy. I'm sure they get everything.

SPEAKER_06 13:47

I think that they have to have like minimum instead of like schools and everything else, that there's a statement.

SPEAKER_05 13:52

I think it's just a minimum on calories, not necessarily.

SPEAKER_06 13:55

Oh, I think it's nutrients as well.

SPEAKER_05 13:56

I don't think so. No? Well, that guy in Arizona was feeding just bologna sandwiches. I like bologna sandwiches. Yeah, well, that's how you get scurvy. That's how you end up on a cruise. There's an orange in there. And pal says we have the best food. And's making it sound like we should go and, you know, hey, if you're gonna get thrown in jail, at least you're gonna eat good. Three hots and a cot?

SPEAKER_06 14:19

Right, maybe three hots and a cot.

SPEAKER_05 14:21

Hey, have you seen this?

Jail Food Standards And Seasoning

SPEAKER_05 14:23

No. Local sheriff uses Warden Burger as punishment in jail.

SPEAKER_03 14:27

What's the story behind it, Kevin? Uh, it's Butler County, Ohio, Sheriff Jones. Okay. So he's um, hopefully she hurries up and gets done talking. But um, he serves a certain burger that has like the exact ingredients that the inmate actually needs. Okay. And he swears it's not punishment, but they literally eat the same thing over and over every day.

SPEAKER_06 14:51

Yeah, I mean punishment. If we're letting like nutritionists, I am very curious.

SPEAKER_05 14:58

There's no seasonings. Anne says we have standards we have to follow.

SPEAKER_06 15:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 15:02

Um I believe it. Yeah. I'm assuming those are set by the state. Yeah. Or the federal.

SPEAKER_06 15:07

Do they put seasonings on things though?

SPEAKER_05 15:09

To where it's at least like I think you can buy black people's seasoning, hot sauce and commissary. White people's seasoning. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 15:17

Salt, pepper.

SPEAKER_05 15:18

No, we don't even put salt and pepper on it. Yeah. Black folk hate white folk people or peat food.

SPEAKER_06 15:25

Yeah?

SPEAKER_05 15:26

Oh, yeah. Nothing to piss off a black person more than a white person that brings potato salad to a with braisins in it. Oh, so there you go. I know another thing that's interesting is uh so they have a budget that they have to they use to provide the food. And some of these guys they look at it as a way to save money and they put it in their own pocket. Oh. What? Yes. They have a budget. Now I'm sure they're not supposed to.

SPEAKER_06 15:52

Well, beef's not on there then.

SPEAKER_05 15:54

Bonus. Yeah. Beef. Beef.

SPEAKER_06 15:56

That stuff's expensive.

SPEAKER_05 15:58

Chicken. I am fascinated by this. Only because, like I said, I mean, you know, anybody could end up in jail if you do something stupid. Oh, yeah. Or drive drunk or whatever. I mean, not right.

SPEAKER_06 16:10

Knock on wood.

SPEAKER_05 16:13

Look at the warden burger. Can you imagine eating a same bun? You just get two slices of bread. Man, that's like my mom.

SPEAKER_06 16:20

I was gonna say that's what we had back in the day.

SPEAKER_05 16:22

We got hamburgers at home, and that's a hamburger I think. Kevin, is there a list of ingredients that are on said burger?

SPEAKER_03 16:28

Yeah, hold on, I'll scroll down.

SPEAKER_05 16:29

All right. The warden burger.

SPEAKER_06 16:32

The warden burger. It's got crushed up vitamins in it. You know what the sad part is?

SPEAKER_05 16:39

It's got a multivitamin. There's kids in this community that don't get to eat that would kill for the Warden burger. That's right.

SPEAKER_06 16:46

There's people that actually intentionally get themselves into jail so they at least have a hot meal.

SPEAKER_05 16:55

What do we got on there? I can't read that. I can't read that.

SPEAKER_06 16:57

I can't see that. I'm over 40.

SPEAKER_05 16:58

You're gonna have to read it out to me, Shuck.

SPEAKER_04 17:02

It's all good. I'm sure.

SPEAKER_03 17:04

Uh the base is soy crumbles, beans, and ground turkey. Uh the vegetable is cabbage, carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery.

SPEAKER_07 17:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 17:14

The binder, which holds it all together, would be oats, flours, dry milk, and tomato paste. And the seasoning is chili powder and a pinch of salt. So it's almost like a meatloaf sandwich.

SPEAKER_06 17:27

But not as good, but not as good.

SPEAKER_05 17:30

Oh my god, I guarantee it's the driest burger. Ground turkey is the worst thing.

SPEAKER_06 17:34

Horrible.

SPEAKER_05 17:35

And pal says we have Taco Tuesday and biscuits and gravy every other two.

SPEAKER_06 17:39

So we know what days to go. We know what days to go.

SPEAKER_05 17:42

What I've learned, Ann, is if I'm ever gonna get a DUI, I get it on a Monday night.

SPEAKER_04 17:46

Monday night. You gotta call her and see which day. Is it this Tuesday or next Tuesday? Taco Tuesday. Oh my god, that's hilarious. I want biscuits and gravy and taco Tuesday.

unknown 17:58

Come out.

SPEAKER_05 18:00

I don't get biscuits and gravy every other Tuesday.

SPEAKER_06 18:04

Why are you looking at me? I didn't serve look at you. No, but you do talk about it with me all the time. You're like, when am I gonna get my biscuits and gravy?

SPEAKER_05 18:12

Because you like to brag about how good your shit is and then never make it. Oh, I'll we'll have a make off. I'll make some biscuits and gravy.

SPEAKER_06 18:19

Oh, we want to cook off? We can do this. We can do it on air.

SPEAKER_05 18:23

Oh shit. You know, I'm not afraid to eat breakfast fuse. Aside from the uh the food that is served at said uh institutions. The other thing that's interesting to me is like I would be interested in running for an office if it wasn't for the fact that people on social media are horrible to these people.

SPEAKER_04 18:42

They want to dig up some shit from every horrible keyboard warriors. They won't say it to your face, but hey, I'm online in my life.

SPEAKER_05 18:51

Oh my gosh, people are I'll say whatever. Ann Powell's just like home cooking. Man, I she makes me want to go to jail this Tuesday. This Tuesday.

SPEAKER_06 19:02

Can we stay outside and you just deliver it in like a little star foam container?

SPEAKER_04 19:07

Do you have it like an outdoor section, a patio? Right.

SPEAKER_05 19:10

They need a drive-through window. Now, oh surely somebody watching the show or has listened to our show has been in jail. Let us know what what is your favorite food that is served at the local uh Wayne County jail. There you go. Yeah. Anne's got me. I love it.

SPEAKER_03 19:34

We're gonna roll up like Door Dash.

SPEAKER_04 19:41

I'm gonna order some DoorDash. Get some soups.

SPEAKER_06 19:44

Let's just go in there for just a couple hours, just see what it's like.

SPEAKER_04 19:48

I've seen some of them videos of the guys in actual prisons that make their food and yeah.

SPEAKER_05 19:52

I've never been to jail, never want to go to jail. Never worn handcuffs.

SPEAKER_06 19:56

I've actually I've never actually been inside that building, period.

SPEAKER_05 20:00

Well, that's a good that means you weren't there to visit anybody either. No. Or bail. I've actually had to bail people out.

SPEAKER_06 20:06

I have had to bail them out, but I went in and then had to wait outside. So commissary.

SPEAKER_05 20:11

Commissary. A lot of money made in commissary. Commissary. Yeah. I I don't know. I'm fascinated. I love this shit. I watch these videos about this guy that uh served time and then he talks about what actually happens in the year. Yeah, I've been watching two all the time. Yeah, we lock up a lot of people here. It's fascinating. All right. You guys ready to get into some of the things? Well, we guys do anything good. I actually, you know, we've got uh I've got some interesting stories, some funny stories. I got some that are really positive, even.

SPEAKER_06 20:40

SPEAKER_06 21:08

See, I always just heard like ramen noodle specialties. The slant, like there was talking about slant.

But guys that get arrested for being a chomo. Yeah. And you look at their mugshot and you go, Yeah, that guy definitely was. Yeah. I wouldn't let that guy watch my kids on TV.

Sidewalk Car Chase Goes Off Rails

SPEAKER_05 22:31

Here's our first story. This one uh actually just came up in Spokane, Washington. I think this happened just last week or this week. Have you did you see this? There was a kid who was riding, it looked like uh like a motorized bike. Okay. Oh, and okay. And uh yeah, you know what I'm talking about. And uh a woman was a very upset. Her name is uh Wendy Clemente. Clemente, excuse me. I made it I made it French for a second. Wendy Clemente, she's 56 years old. Kevin, you could pull this video up. Uh she was pissed off at this kid and she went full Grand Thraft Auto on it. She went full Grandhoft Karen on it. She uh she drove her silver Ford Focus up on the sidewalk and chased the kid while riding his bike. Okay, his electric bike. I he I don't know. All right, so here's the video. If you're watching this live, yeah, what uh with us, or if uh you're driving and you're listening to the audio, pull over because you want to see this video. This lady, this kid is out riding his electric bike and then so there he is, he's coming and he looks back at her. Like, what are you doing? Like, what lady, what are you doing? She drives up on the sidewalk and chases him down the sidewalk in her car. Oh my god. He's like, no bad here. She's trying to run him over.

SPEAKER_07 23:49

What the hell?

SPEAKER_06 23:52

Oh, in jail.

SPEAKER_04 23:54

Yeah, that lady filming was like, get over here, kid. Get over here.

SPEAKER_06 23:57

Do not give that bitch the any recipes for terror.

SPEAKER_04 23:59

She took off.

SPEAKER_05 24:00

Well, uh, she gets no taffy. No taffy. Now, here's an interesting thing. While deputies were searching for her, they got another call about a burglary that roughly a mile away. When they showed up, guess who they found? Oh, they what was she doing? She broke into somebody's house after she chased this kid. God, I'll tell you what. And uh they found her. They said um apparently she was in for a rough night. It's funny you say that. Of course she was. Uh, she reportedly at first denied drinking alcohol or taking drugs, but then later admitted that she had been drinking. So not only did she chase this kid on a bike down a sidewalk, she went in and burglarized a home and then also got a D UI. All right, she was the next day on her own recognition.

SPEAKER_03 24:53

Yeah, she made it to Taco Tuesday.

SPEAKER_04 24:54

Yeah, she did. Oh man. Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_06 24:59

Yeah, could you imagine being that kid though? Just like the hell is this chick doing?

SPEAKER_05 25:05

Hell yeah. All right. Here's our next story.

Missing Posters Foiled By Filters

SPEAKER_06 25:08

All right.

SPEAKER_05 25:08

A woman in uh Mexico, she went missing in April, and police used her social media photos for the official movie uh missing posters. Now, this sounds normal, except there was one tiny problem. All the filters. Police say the filters had altered her appearance so much that people literally couldn't recognize her in real life, including herself. I've seen this one coming. He's all right. Amanda talks about this all the time. Or people will put filters on. She's like, and you'll see somebody in real life go, oh, that's them. Oh no. This lady was ready.

SPEAKER_06 25:45

Oh catfish.

SPEAKER_05 25:47

Yeah, no. Oh my. So yeah. So the they were using the pictures on the left to try to find this woman.

SPEAKER_06 25:54

Oh, of course, with her glasses on and yeah.

SPEAKER_05 25:57

Pounty lips. Yeah, negative. It's hard to believe. You know what? This is just proves you how good AI is. Because if you can make that woman on the right look like the woman on the left, that is some sh that's that's uh that's wizardry.

SPEAKER_03 26:13

And they wonder why we love robots now.

SPEAKER_06 26:16

It's it's like a Hollywood uh makeup artistry right there.

SPEAKER_05 26:21

No, it apparently it delayed the search because everyone was looking for the lady on the right and uh instead of the one on the left, but uh or vice versa. Vice versa. But uh the good news is uh later she was found alive and safe.

SPEAKER_06 26:35

But uh she was just on vacation.

SPEAKER_05 26:38

That's wild to me.

SPEAKER_04 26:41

Uh do you use filters? You post pictures? I'm pretty enough. I don't need filters, I'm sexy.

SPEAKER_06 26:49

I don't need filters. Every once in a while, filters, like not on a regular noise. But I don't take that many pictures of myself.

SPEAKER_05 26:57

Yeah. I know some people like uh my favorite is when they um they'll post a picture with their significant other that's a dude, and his shit is all like blurred out. Oh, yeah. And I'm like, oh, look at that guy looks so like velvety.

SPEAKER_04 27:12

I'm too busy taking pictures of my feet right now, Dave.

SPEAKER_05 27:15

Is that how you're making extra? Trying to make that extra money, buddy. No more paper sack over the face.

SPEAKER_04 27:24

Now we're just gonna put your filter back on.

SPEAKER_05 27:26

Uh here's a cool story.

Make-A-Wish That Feeds 300

SPEAKER_05 27:28

I uh this is a touch of uh they get you in the feels here.

unknown 27:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 27:32

Um, you know, typically when a uh a child gets sick, they uh they get a make-a-wish. And uh kids can ask for Disney trips, meeting celebrities, things like that. But a uh a 14-year-old kid in Georgia, his name was Jude Baker, did something that uh probably hit a little harder than those motivational videos that you're gonna see online. Yeah, uh he was diagnosed with ewing sarcoma. It's a rare and aggressive cancer when he was just 12 years old. After battling chemotherapy and everything that comes with it, he qualified for a make-a-wish gift. And uh he asked for one thing. He said, You know, I want to help homeless people.

SPEAKER_04 28:11

There you go.

SPEAKER_05 28:13

He said, I got my own version of heck and I want to help others in theirs. So uh he didn't go on a shopping spree, didn't go to a VIP experience. He worked with Make a Wish Georgia, and they helped organize uh sleeping bags, backpacks full of supplies, hot meals, and more than 300 homeless people received help because one teenager who decided his struggle should make someone else's life better.

SPEAKER_04 28:41

There you go.

SPEAKER_05 28:42

Oh, yeah, so uh old Jude Baker, 300 people were taken care of. Uh, here's the best part of the story. He is now in remission. Ooh, but um here's the thing. You know, we we complain about a lot of things in life, and you hear a story like this, and this 12-year-old literally has a better head on his shoulders than most adults I know.

SPEAKER_06 29:04

Oh, for sure.

SPEAKER_05 29:05

Right, right? Yeah, 12 years old and decides that uh, you know what? Why am I gonna try to better my one life when I can help out hundreds of others of people?

SPEAKER_04 29:14

So where's all the adults gonna go? Yeah, so they're not gonna do that.

SPEAKER_05 29:21

No.

SPEAKER_06 29:21

Well, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_04 29:22

Yeah, I like kid. Parents raised him right.

SPEAKER_05 29:25

Yeah, here's another

Walmart Disability Case And ADA Cap

SPEAKER_05 29:26

one. Uh imagine you show up for your same job for 15 years, you do a good job, you get positive reviews, you earn raises, but uh then something changes at work. They put in a computer scheduling system that um gets you fired.

SPEAKER_04 29:43

Uh believe it. What?

SPEAKER_05 29:44

This uh this is unfortunately what happened to Marlo Spaith, a Walmart employee with Down syndrome, who had successfully worked the same noon to four shift for over a decade.

SPEAKER_06 29:56

And they changed the schedule on him.

SPEAKER_05 29:58

Marlo, it's a young lady. Uh the management switched schedules using a computerized system and suddenly expected her to work longer later shift, and it disrupted her routine that she had depended upon. Her family explained that because of her disability, adapting to a sudden schedule change was extremely difficult. They weren't asking for a private jet or anything, they're just asking for her to work from noon to four. And uh, so Walmart's way of handling this sounds about right, is they disciplined her for attendance issues, called her delinquent, and fired her.

SPEAKER_04 30:33

I believe it. That's that's corporate for you.

SPEAKER_05 30:36

Now, here's the part that is really. Her family had her back. Uh the EEOC, which is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, they stepped in as well and they took it to court. Now, here's the part that that really pisses me off. She was given $150,000 in uh compensatory damages for emotional pain and suffering, but they also gave her $125 million in punitive damages. Okay. Now, because the ADA, the American Disabilities Act, caps damages for large employers, the jury was only able to give her $300,000.

SPEAKER_04 31:16

Are you serious?

SPEAKER_05 31:17

Wow. And then she got $44,000 in back pay. So basically, she was given $125 million. But the act, I don't even know why you would cap it. Why? Yeah. This basically allowed someone like Walmart to know hey, if we screw somebody over, it's gonna be cheaper if we just we're just gonna have to pay $300,000.

SPEAKER_04 31:38

Yeah, that's probably how much they paid their lawyers.

SPEAKER_05 31:40

Oh, I guarantee you they probably paid them more than that.

SPEAKER_04 31:42

Right.

SPEAKER_06 31:43

I wonder if the lawyers got the compensation off of like like the percentage off of what they were supposed to get. Oh, I'm sure they got a bonus.

SPEAKER_05 31:50

I just I don't I don't know, man. It just it's another example of these big companies that make billions and billions every year, and they continue to make more money for their executives. And this lady who was doing a great job, and I give them credit for hiring someone that with with special needs, right? But then you fire them and you can only get 300,000. But I can spill hot coffee on me from McDonald's to get more than that. Yeah, I get millions. Yeah, it just pisses me off.

SPEAKER_06 32:18

Pisses me off.

SPEAKER_05 32:20

You know what grinds my goo for you, buddy. Uh all right, here's another one.

Egg Debate Ends With Gunfire

SPEAKER_05 32:26

Police in Port St. Lucie said a guy known as Farmer Pete was hanging out a bar. It's unlucky. Yeah, when a group of younger people started a conversation and it shifted to a very important subject. How many eggs can a chicken lay? Okay. According to reports, things escalated fast. Farmer Pete allegedly became convinced the group was going to try to con him or jump him. Yeah, that's exactly what Farmer Pete thought they were gonna do. You know, this is what I love about bars. I do too. Right?

Anybody? Uh my hens lay one a day. Christy Pence. And that's it. Is that every hen? So let's say you have a dozen chickens. Are they gonna lay a dozen eggs every single day?

unknown 33:41

One.

SPEAKER_06 33:42

Apparently.

SPEAKER_05 33:43

Well, you think maybe their system they're gonna take a day off or I mean maybe you know what I mean? You know, I'm gonna take his day off, guys. No, I don't even mean it like that. I mean, I know people that can't take but two shits a week. Well, they're not shit. No, no, but my point being is you're giving preach more than twice a week, buddy. I'm done.

Farmer Brad, this is Dutch Dalton with the After Two Beers Podcast. I got a quick question for you. If I have 12 chickens, are I going to get uh 12 hens? Am I going to get 12 eggs a day?

They will. If a mouse gets into their area, they will destroy it. I think we've that's been a trivia question.

SPEAKER_04 36:28

It's the closest relative to a T-Rex.

SPEAKER_05 36:30

Yes. They they're I mean, they're like vultures. I don't want to show video. I'm now we're starting to sound like a Joe Rogan podcast.

SPEAKER_06 36:37

SPEAKER_04 37:06

SPEAKER_05 37:40

I'm sure we're gamey.

SPEAKER_06 37:41

I've also been, I've also been.

SPEAKER_05 37:44

We're not gamey at all. We're so full of like uh fake shit and sweets and sugars. And we would honestly be one of the most unhealthy things in nature.

SPEAKER_06 37:55

You can't I was gonna say, I eat enough garlic, I'm not gonna be gay.

SPEAKER_05 37:58

They talk about now when like they pull people up, they'll go into um like people will get buried and then they'll pull them out of the ground for uh diagnostic reasons later on. And we're so full of preservatives that it actually preserves our bodies longer now than it ever has. And it's mostly Americans.

SPEAKER_06 38:19

Oh, also the same things that killed us.

SPEAKER_05 38:22

Yeah, it makes our food taste good, it kills us. Uh Christy Panther, I heard we were uh like the other pink meat like pigs. Well, love me some bacon. I do love me some bacon.

SPEAKER_07 38:32

Homey pulp chop.

SPEAKER_05 38:35

I can't believe we're on here talking about cannibalism.

SPEAKER_06 38:38

No, that's the word I was looking for.

SPEAKER_05 38:40

We're literally describing like salted pork.

SPEAKER_06 38:44

I like salted pork.

SPEAKER_05 38:45

All right, Jeffrey. Num num. Uh oh, all right. So anyway, old farmer, uh Farmer Pete, he uh he got into it with these kids, and um apparently uh at some point there was an issue, and uh old farmer Pete pulled out a gun and he fired multiple shots at the group while they ran away. Thankfully, nobody was hit or injured, so he it's not a good shot, at least.

SPEAKER_06 39:18

He was afraid they were gonna take his head.

SPEAKER_05 39:20

I don't know, they're not a good shot. What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen at a bar?

SPEAKER_06 39:25

Oh, good night.

SPEAKER_05 39:27

Fuck. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 39:29

Sometimes I don't remember what I see at the bar.

SPEAKER_05 39:31

So no, but you know, like honestly, we've been in a lot of bars.

SPEAKER_06 39:35

We have. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_05 39:36

We've had some crazy nights in bars. What's the craziest thing you've ever seen in a bar?

SPEAKER_06 39:40

You put me on the spot. I'm trying to think back all these years. Do you know what the weirdest thing is that you've seen in a bar?

SPEAKER_04 39:48

I don't know. I'm thinking about it now. Besides the stripper crying, that's my favorite story ever.

SPEAKER_05 39:54

She wasn't crying, she felt it wasn't crying. She fell. She was hurt.

SPEAKER_06 40:01

Isn't there a song about this?

SPEAKER_05 40:03

No, it was the night I went to the strip club in the middle of Pennsylvania.

SPEAKER_06 40:07

I know, but I'm just saying there's a song about the stripper crying.

SPEAKER_05 40:12

Uh, that's a loaded question when we've all drank together. All right. I've seen pudding run up and down a hallway in a thong.

SPEAKER_06 40:19

Yeah, but that wasn't at a bar, that was at a hotel at State Guard.

SPEAKER_04 40:22

That's the best thing because there's the gold laman cameras.

SPEAKER_06 40:25

You don't know. That's just on your word. I haven't showed you the picture. I'm kidding. I've got pictures.

SPEAKER_05 40:31

Yeah. Yeah. Uh all right. I got one more story. We're moving through this pretty quick tonight. Noted question. I don't know. I don't what's the crazy thing? I know.

SPEAKER_06 40:40

I'm gonna be thinking about it.

SPEAKER_04 40:42

The shit that I have done or people have done.

SPEAKER_06 40:45

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 40:45

I've seen somebody get their hair cut at a bar one time.

SPEAKER_06 40:47

That was me.

SPEAKER_05 40:48

She got her hair cut in the bar. She's gonna get my hair in the alley. She got her hair cut in the alley of a bar.

SPEAKER_06 40:54

It was on the patio. I came back in. That shit was.

SPEAKER_05 40:59

That would be an interesting podcast, it's just bar stories. Right. If that you remember. Yeah. I almost want to drive an Uber just to do it. And but not use my own car. Right. There was a nightcam saying on HBO Taxicab Confessions.

SPEAKER_06 41:17

There's a nightcam saying on the bar at the ribeye. Pretty sure that's the night she parked the Jeep on the sidewalk.

SPEAKER_05 41:22

Amanda parked my vehicle in the yard sober.

SPEAKER_06 41:30

We might have had the the square donuts afterwards, too. Oh no. I was on the bar? Pretty sure.

SPEAKER_05 41:38

At the ribeye?

SPEAKER_06 41:39

That's a possibility. I know I was once or twice at Frickers back in the day. Because I remember hitting the head on a bucket.

SPEAKER_05 41:46

I watched your ex-husband hit his head on the bucket over there. Trying to think what else.

SPEAKER_06 41:52

I know. I'm trying to think. Because I know I've seen some weird stuff. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 41:59

Anyway. All right.

Finnish Pilots Draw Shapes In Sky

SPEAKER_05 42:01

Here's our last story. This comes to us from Finland. Uh there were some Finnish Air Force. Such a great story. Finnish Air Force cadets. They were ref receiving. Man, I'm burping now. I got beer in me. Disciplinary actions while after allegedly drawing dicks in the sky during flight training exercises.

SPEAKER_06 42:26

I've seen this one.

SPEAKER_05 42:27

According to the reports, the flight caps became visible on public flight tracking websites where people noticed the unusual patterns. But you could look up in the sky. And they had drawn penises.

SPEAKER_06 42:43

You have to be really good at that craft to do it with like an aircraft.

SPEAKER_05 42:52

You know, oh no.

SPEAKER_06 42:55

There was a guy, an Amish guy, and he was on like, what is that? Rumsprumspringer. Rumspringer. And he would actually take people home at from the rendezvous once upon a time.

SPEAKER_05 43:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 43:07

Well, this guy right here, I mean he was like an Amish Uber.

SPEAKER_05 43:10

An Amish Uber.

SPEAKER_04 43:11

I had a coach in high school that used to grow up over in Canton, Ohio long time ago. They used to the Amish, the horses are so smart they knew how to get home. So the Amish will get drunk, pass out, horse will go home. Well, these guys will go out and get drunk, go out there, grab them horses, spoon around in circles, and send them back the other way.

SPEAKER_06 43:30

Oh my god, the guy woke up, he had no idea what he had no idea where he was. Neither did the horse.

SPEAKER_05 43:37

And said this was in Hagerstown.

SPEAKER_06 43:39

Yeah, I believe it. Yeah, yeah. At the VOO.

SPEAKER_05 43:43

We used to live uh out in the country when I uh just graduated from college, and you would hear randomly I still remember this ACDC playing just loud. And what it is is every single battery operated. Yeah. Every Sunday, the Amish would get together at one central location for those that are in that.

SPEAKER_06 44:07

They have the church in the day and then they celebrate it all day.

SPEAKER_05 44:11

And uh as as they were coming home, the the young ones would leave early and they would have a beatbox, like an old box. And they're listening to music. And you have cop, cop, cop, cop, beat, cop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

SPEAKER_06 44:30

That's also good stuff.

SPEAKER_05 44:32

Yeah. Anyway. So first guys. The incident happened during a training mission in Finland. The military officials confirmed the cadets violated conduct standards. I love the fact that it just shows that it's not just Americans that love to have a good time. The uh story quickly went viral after screenshots of the flight paths uh spread across, excuse me, social media. Apparently, even uh military pilots uh with multi-million dollar air to have fun.

SPEAKER_04 45:06

Yeah, so we'll have a date night. Let's go out and make our own new story.

Imaginary Arguments And Dream Drama

SPEAKER_05 46:48

Uh I heard this on the way in. Um you guys ever have arguments with somebody in your brain? That's not really happening, and you actually get pissed off at them.

SPEAKER_06 47:00

I'm ADHD. I have like whole conversations in my mind, and then I'm like, Yeah, every once in a while.

SPEAKER_05 47:07

Do you? Yeah. Do you really I I mean, do you think out conversations that are never going to happen? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 47:12

SPEAKER_05 47:18

Yeah. Give me an example.

SPEAKER_06 47:22

I can't give you an example right off the this is a true story.

SPEAKER_05 47:27

This is the one thing about I I can't stand is about being a dude. Is Amanda will fuck shit up sometimes, like I do. We both do it, right? It's it's equal parts relationships. And there are times where we'll get into an argument and I'll be like, I know she's done something, but I can't remember it. You know what I mean? Like, I want to bring it up. Like to be like, yeah, you did this, and I'm like, I know she's done something.

SPEAKER_04 47:56

Yeah, well, you know what you did.

SPEAKER_05 47:58

I remember that time. You did something wrong too. You did it.

SPEAKER_06 48:04

It also kind of reminds me of like the when you have dreams and like your singing father did something too.

SPEAKER_05 48:10

She got mad at me one time because I cheated on her in a dream and woke up mad about me about it.

SPEAKER_06 48:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 48:15

You know, for a whole day. She'll say, I had another nightmare last night, and what's that? You cheated on me. And I'm like, Well, who? I don't remember. I don't remember. That's not even the point. The point is, like, I don't even know how I'm supposed to respond to that. Like, well, it was just a dream.

SPEAKER_06 48:37

Well, I didn't end her alive, so remember that.

SPEAKER_05 48:44

Remember that. Remember how lucky you are.

SPEAKER_06 48:46

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 48:47

Like it up. Roll it over next to me, not too much.

SPEAKER_06 48:52

I'm just over here snoring.

SPEAKER_05 48:55

Uh we do this so we don't end up in jail.

SPEAKER_06 48:59

Hey, I hear biscuits and gravy are good though.

SPEAKER_05 49:01

Yeah, taco two days. That's the only thing I know. What do you serve the other days of the week? Soy burgers. We were watching on that show. They just had like a bowl of beans that had two hot dogs in it. There you go.

SPEAKER_04 49:17

Oh that.

SPEAKER_05 49:18

No, I'm just saying that's what it was. Beanie Weenies, man. Yeah. It was just like a bowl of baked beans with two hot dogs laying in it.

SPEAKER_04 49:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 49:27

And that was their dinner.

SPEAKER_04 49:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 49:29

Sounds good. Ann says I'll get you a list. I want to talk about it.

SPEAKER_06 49:36

Oh man.

SPEAKER_04 49:37

Donuts in the morning, maybe?

SPEAKER_06 49:39

Oatmeal. Oatmeal and dry toast. No butter on it.

SPEAKER_05 49:44

Sounds healthy.

SPEAKER_06 49:45

Right.

SPEAKER_03 49:47

We should do an episode for myself.

SPEAKER_05 49:48

Have you ever been to jail, Kevin? A couple pancakes?

SPEAKER_03 49:51

No. I mean, I've been in there a lot on paramedic runs, but I've never uh uh involuntarily been there. Involuntarily. I like it.

SPEAKER_06 50:00

That's what I'm saying. Like I don't know that I necessarily want to, but can you put us in there for an hour or two just to see what it's like?

SPEAKER_05 50:08

It's not a good idea. I want to do a field trip. Like all the reality. I don't want it on my record, though. I love them. We watched 60 Days In. Did you watch that 60 Days In?

SPEAKER_03 50:21

Oh man, and I love that. Dude, did you go down the rabbit hole from the first sheriff? He's in prison.

SPEAKER_04 50:29

Which one?

SPEAKER_03 50:30

60 Days In? Jamie Knoll. The Indy the Indiana? The Indiana Sheriff? The one that was in the house. Oh yeah. No, no, no, no, no. No, this was on 60 Days In. So this was this was an Indiana thing, and he was big in the political arena and all this stuff. And it ended up, he he took a lot of money from the local volunteer fire district he was the chief of. Bought houses, planes, vehicles. Okay. Wow. So him, his wife, his daughter, they all had to serve time. Oh shit. And I think he's still serving time.

SPEAKER_05 51:04

They treat him really well knowing that he's a former chair.

SPEAKER_04 51:07

Oh yeah. You get treated better stuff.

SPEAKER_05 51:11

I've learned one thing. If you go to jail, don't steal, don't rat on people. Don't be a pedophile. Don't be a pedophile. Just mind your own. Better ass. Petter ass. Better ass. I do find it interesting. I just, I don't know. Some of these people. Like we're watching a show the other day, and it's it's a young kid at say he's in his early 20s, and he got arrested for um aggravated um robbery.

SPEAKER_06 51:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 51:40

And he was looking at anywhere from So he was angrily robbing. Uh but he was looking at 12 to 35 years. Oh my gosh. And he's sitting and he's in a local jail waiting to go to DOC and uh or to present.

SPEAKER_06 51:59

I feel like not that long of a sentence it wasn't his first time.

SPEAKER_05 52:03

No, no, no. It might have been. Just because it was a bit reactive.

SPEAKER_06 52:08

That's what I don't understand. Sometimes it's like the gun.

SPEAKER_05 52:12

That's the end of the thing. Well, back in the day, that was what the three strikes in and out. You could get arrested three times for selling marijuana and go to jail for the rest of your life. Selling marijuana.

SPEAKER_06 52:27

But then you're out in a year and a half if you've been a pedophile.

SPEAKER_05 52:31

Right? Is there somebody on the phone? You got farmer bread!

Farmer Brad On Chickens And Council

SPEAKER_06 52:36

Hello.

SPEAKER_05 52:36

Hello, how's it going? How are you doing, buddy? Good. Hey, I saw a picture of you holding a chicken.

SPEAKER_02 52:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 52:44

So we feel we feel like you're the expert on chickens.

SPEAKER_02 52:50

I moved from Southern California to Indiana with uh three chickens in the back of my uh moving truck. I made a little uh chicken transport crate, and uh and on the way they were laying eggs. Uh I felt bad for them because they were going from like 70 degree temperature down to like 40 degree winter time. Uh but uh but yeah.

SPEAKER_06 53:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 53:15

That's okay. So I'm I I've got a hundred questions to ask you about chickens. First of all, if I have a dozen chickens, should I expect to get a dozen eggs every day?

SPEAKER_02 53:26

Uh no. So I would say uh if it's an egg-laying breed, I my my gut feeling is about five eggs a week from a chicken.

SPEAKER_05 53:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 53:39

Um is what you could estimate. Um, and then uh as it gets shorter days, uh, there's a certain number of hours uh of daylight that a chicken needs in order to be able to optimally uh have everything to like lay their eggs, and it's it's usually about 14 to 16 hours of daylight. Um so during uh when when the days become shorter, then the chicken ends up switching modes and goes into a mold where they put all of their energy into going through feathers instead of laying eggs. So that's why sometimes egg production can decrease.

SPEAKER_05 54:19

Okay. Are you uh are you at a semi right now? No, no. It was loud. Uh all right, so how many chickens do you have?

SPEAKER_02 54:31

Um, so I think last time I counted, I had 27 tens that are weighing. Oh wow. I have two two guinea foul. I think I probably have about 10 roosters, and I just catched I just catched um like 30 baby chicks, and then on Wednesday, the day after the election, I had uh 120 uh boiler baby chicks come in the mail. In the mail? So it's it's always changing. Um, and that's that's part of the reason why I created uh pasture the platter.com so I can keep track of these notes and how many chickens I have over time um because it's it's it's hard to keep track. And uh I'm sure you've heard of Chicken Mouth before. What?

SPEAKER_05 55:26

Chicken mouth?

SPEAKER_02 55:28

Uh sorry, chicken math.

SPEAKER_05 55:30

No. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:32

You get one chicken, you get two, and the next thing you get four. Yeah, you have eight.

SPEAKER_06 55:37

Well, I uh that was gonna be my question is like, how do you decide what ones you're gonna keep as just like laying eggs to eat, or if you're going to let them be fertilized for for new chickens?

SPEAKER_02 55:51

So it it really it really depends on the breed. So some breeds are really good for laying eggs, some breeds are really good for um raising meat. Now the challenge is if you have a child who has named the chicken, and they and they may name uh uh a chicken that happens to be a uh meat breed, and so you don't get very many eggs, and then the chicken ends up not paying rent by not laying very many eggs. So that's what you call chest or barbecue.

SPEAKER_04 56:22

Okay, that gets turned into barbecue. My general shows I like chest or chicken.

SPEAKER_05 56:26

Can you talk uh I chicken farms are one of the smelliest places I've ever been?

SPEAKER_06 56:32

Oh, hogs are better. Hogs are way worse. Chicken chits.

SPEAKER_05 56:35

Yeah, chicken shit's pretty horrible.

SPEAKER_06 56:36

Hogs are way worse, I promise. Seriously.

SPEAKER_05 56:42

Yeah, can you comment on how stinky chickens can be?

SPEAKER_02 56:46

Well, so so um funny you ask, uh, so in high school, I did electrical work in a chicken barn that was being built, and luckily they only brought the chickens in the last couple weeks.

SPEAKER_07 56:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 56:58

Um, but yes, on a on a traditional uh conventional farm, um, chickens can smell pretty bad. Um and that's why I try to raise my chickens on pasture. Uh, because if it's warm out and I can move chickens on grass, then it's less work for me because I don't have to clean up all that chicken manure and it fertilizes the grass for free.

SPEAKER_05 57:19

And they eat the grass, yeah?

SPEAKER_02 57:21

Yeah, they eat the grass and they eat bugs. And and I kid you not, one time I saw a rooster grab a little mouse, a field mouse by the tail, throw it up in the air and swallow it whole. I would I would I wouldn't have believed it. So so when you go to the grocery store and there's eggs that say um vegan fed or like that, like I stay away from that because uh chickens are omnivores. They don't eat just plants, they eat meat, they eat bugs and and everything, and they need that for a well-balanced diet.

SPEAKER_05 57:58

Okay, see, there you go. Yeah, it's just funny to me. Why would you buy a vegan chicken knowing you're gonna eat the chicken or the vegan egg?

SPEAKER_04 58:07

Right?

SPEAKER_05 58:07

Right, you know, it's like you could be vegan, but I I don't really want to be vegan.

SPEAKER_02 58:12

Now, uh a really kind of crazy thing is is so there is there is cat food out there that has a chicken egg protein for people that have cats but are allergic to them. So um, so what they do is uh they have chickens that are around cats, and I guess the mama hens will produce a protein or something, and then they extract that protein and put that in the cat food. So I've I've thought about doing that, the poor man version of just because we have a barn and there ends up being barn cats that appear there, and I just would uh put some of my chickens there and they're around uh the cat, and then I would just take those eggs and just crack them open and on on the cat food and do it the uh the poor man way. There you go.

SPEAKER_06 59:06

Hey, that works.

SPEAKER_04 59:07

I might be afraid the roosters eat the cat.

SPEAKER_06 59:09

I have a bird dog that is allergic to chickens, so I understand what you're saying here.

SPEAKER_05 59:15

Are uh chickens pretty stupid, or are they are they smart animals?

SPEAKER_02 59:21

Um it it kind of depends, um, but generally they're they're pretty smart. Um now one thing that's fun to watch is like if uh if you have a broody hen, so a broody hen is one that just wants to sit on the eggs and become a mama. Um and uh and so what you can do sometimes is like if you have a breed that doesn't naturally sit on the eggs very well, you can um you can uh slip eggs underneath them uh and and have them be an adopted mom. I had this little bantam uh chick uh hen that is really small. She raised twelve eggs, uh baby chicks, and they would like the heads would poke out of the the wings and and uh and stuff, and uh, and she she was a good mama.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:13

There you go.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:14

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:15

That's wild. Tell us more about this one that ate the mouse. Are these things I mean they're the closest animal to the uh the dinosaur, yeah? And I mean, have you seen these things just go crazy on another animal?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:32

Um personally so so tip typically the roosters that we have on our farm uh are pretty tame, partly because we have uh some young children and and uh I I want them to be safe and stuff. And so so generally if if uh if a chicken ends up being uh too mean, uh then it ends up uh going in the stew pot um and doesn't stay around. Dumplings dumplings.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:59

It becomes dumplings. So they you do have asshole chickens?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:03

Um not for long.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:07

They become barbecue chickens.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:09

Oh, that's yeah. Now let me ask you another thing real quick. You made what I consider to be one of the ballsiest things, uh, balsiest decisions, rather. Um, and you ran for public uh office.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:23

Was this the first time you've ever run for office? Yes, yes. Uh first time I ran. What did you think of the experience? Well, first of all, what'd you run for?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:33

And I I I I ran for Wayne County Council District 2. Um, and really the thing that prompted me to run was the experience that I uh I witnessed on the wheel tax uh being implemented.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:50

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:51

And and I realized that there's only so much information or there's only so much impact you can have from speaking up at the podium during those meetings. Um and and I was always told, you know, um, if you you you can't complain if you don't if you don't try to bring solutions and and and change uh to the situation. So I decided to throw my name in the hat there. Um and I realized I didn't have a very large campaign budget, and so I had to get creative in order to make that marketing budget go really far. So I was like looking around and and realized I had never seen a politician put a chicken on their political side. And and I've uh I've been uh I've been raising chickens and selling pasture raised poultry in the area for about 10 years. And uh some people remember when I would sell at the Richmond farmers market, I I would hand out these little stickers that would have uh a chicken on it uh to the kids that would be like coming near the booth. That was a way for me to remember which parents I had given the sales pitch to. Um and so enough time has gone by, like 10 years, that some of those kids could be old enough to vote for me. So uh then I also got Farmer Brad as the nickname on uh the ballot. And so I figured if people saw the chicken on the sign and they saw Farmer Brad on the ballot, then they would put two and two together and vote for me.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:31

Now, what was your experience like? I mean, was it uh I I mean, we saw some pretty interesting things on social media about people that uh ran for office. Yeah, I mean, people could be just downright rude. Would you run? Would do you ever see yourself potentially running again?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:49

Or was it absolutely um so one thing I I found out during this process was um uh people would come up to me and they were like, I was looking for your name on the ballot, I couldn't vote for you. And that was because it was limited to District 2. Um, and so uh the next election there's uh an at-large for Wayne County Council, and so if I end up running for that, then anyone in the county could vote for me. Um but but really this whole process, I I mean what was nice about the Wayne County Council campaign was that it didn't get nasty. Um everything was above board and and and we were just able to focus on all the issues, and then I kind of got bored and um I uh I was tested for ADD ADD uh ADHD at one point, um, and I I tested negative, um, but I think they messed up on the test. Yeah, we always need too bad. So then I got into realizing, you know, there's all this information out there, um and I'm fairly tech savvy. So I decided to create these dashboards and information to bring it to the surface. Um, so the first thing I built was the Wayne County Voting Project that parses meeting minutes from county council, commissioners, and workshop meetings so that then you could see uh what was discussed at those meetings, what was voted on, and then you can search by topic or keyword um for that. Um, and then I just started building more and more. So on my website, I had built uh a little tool so that people could see if they were in district two. And then I was like, what if I expand that a little bit bigger and just create a candidate finder site? So I did that, and that would overlay all of the voting boundaries for like a person to put in their address and see all the voting boundaries and the candidates that may appear on their ballot for them. That's cool. And it just kept on pivoting from more information, more dashboards, and and trying to make information more accessible to the everyday person. Wow. Wow.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:12

Well, I'll tell you what, we appreciate the time, especially all the information about chickens. The reason we brought it up is uh there was a story in uh Florida where a uh gunfight broke out at a local bar because uh a farmer was uh arguing with uh other patrons about how many chickens did we lose him? Yeah, all right. Well, there we go. Thank you, farmer Brad. Thank you so much, farmer Brad. And uh you know what? I think we can call it an evening. This has been arguably one of the weirdest shows. I just kind of threw this one together. Talking about chickens, talking about chickens. Uh well, you know, we say it at the end of every show. Is there anybody even watching now at this point? Yeah.

Kindness And Mental Health Sign-Off

SPEAKER_05 1:07:01

Um it's very important, you know, that uh you know, from one time or another, everybody's gonna go through something. So just make sure you take care of yourself, take care of each other, and um let's be kind. You know, that's the one thing. Uh I watched a lot of people throw a lot of mud at each other over the last few weeks as people were running for office here locally, and I'm sure that happens all over the U.S., all over the world. And uh let's just remember we got to cohabitate with every one of these individuals after the race is over.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:02

Awkward, and it's free to be nice, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:05

That's true. So uh we appreciate you. Be careful, be good, take care of each other, love each other in you know, respectful ways. Anyway, uh, you know, we say it at the end of every podcast. We'll be back here in two weeks. I promise it'd be uh more like our normal shows. Yeah, I enjoyed it. Yeah, it was a good time. Uh thanks again to our buddy Kevin. Thanks again to the Moose here locally for supporting us. Thanks to our buddy Brian. Uh, thanks to uh uh Crosstown Carry Out and um the bottle shop, Wallace Heating and Air, Scardy Pyrotechnics. Make sure you go support the uh River or not River, it's the uh flying mummies. Flying Mummies, you got you. Yes, say roosters. No, well, hey, their mascot looks like a rooster. Yeah, there we go. We should have farmer Brad out there. Wilber. His name's Wilbur. Yeah, Wilbur. Yeah. It took me a minute. No, it took me a minute to pick up the Wilbur Wright thing. Yeah, yeah. I felt like a dumbass the moment I realized it. I was like, oh my god. I knew it.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:04

Oh, Wilbur.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:05

I was like, oh, I get it. Oh, I didn't at first. I was like, why the fuck are they named this thing? Wilbur for like, oh, something else I can blow up. And I was like, oh shit, no, I get it. There you go. Pointed at me. Uh we talk to him, Gibler, next time. After two beers.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:21

Take me home! Take me home home.
