Diapers and Duck Nails

There's something delightfully absurd about today's beauty and fashion landscape, and we're here to unpack it all. While the rest of the world might be discussing severe weather events or international conflicts, we're diving headfirst into the truly important stuff – like why anyone would want fried chicken flavored toothpaste.

Welcome to our exploration of the weird, wild world of 2025's predicted beauty trends. From "Caveman Skin" (where you literally do nothing to your face) to "Duck Nails" (manicures that flare out like webbed feet), we're questioning humanity's collective judgment. Have you heard about men putting flowers in their beards? Or people getting pink circle tattoos on their knees for a "youthful glow"? Perhaps most baffling is the trend of creating fake under-eye bags – deliberately making yourself look tired as a fashion statement.

Between our beauty trend deep-dives, we share equally bizarre news stories that seem too strange to be true. There's the raccoon found with a meth pipe during a police traffic stop, the Florida man who celebrated his code violation by putting a six-foot fiberglass butt in his yard, and the historical "Wicked Bible" that accidentally commanded people to commit adultery. We also touch on Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, noting that 62-year-old Tom Cruise continues his action star career while questioning why 60+ women rarely get similar opportunities in Hollywood.

If you enjoyed this ridiculous romp through humanity's strangest choices, subscribe to catch our next episode. Until then, maybe reconsider that chicken-flavored toothpaste purchase – or don't. We're not here to judge, just to marvel at the wonderful weirdness of it all.

Speaker 2 2:24

Speaker 1 2:25

And they're from DC Annie Nardolili and Louisa Hall. Yeah, and this album called Late Stage Capitalism includes a song that I love called Crypto Bro.

Speaker 2 2:45

Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 2:46

And you should check that one out. The lyrics are amazing and you don't get it. You got to listen to the lyrics to really get the song, because it's not how it sounds. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 3:03

I see One of those tricky songs.

Speaker 1 3:05

It's a tricky song and most of their songs are tricky, tricky and they are two large young women and they wear matching dresses and they're a complete hoot and, from what I understand, they're having got gotta hate the term viral. It's so awful for so many reasons.

Speaker 2 3:30

Yeah, we'll get to one a little later.

Speaker 1 3:33

All right, right, so we started with them. Yeah, there is a lot going on. I'm not sure where to start. I'm thinking, maybe, of I'm going to lay a few comedy podcasts on you to check out. Okay, my number one is Las Culturistas. Las Culturistas, okay. Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers dissect culture with humor. Oh yes, then there's emergency. I love Bowen, I do too. I adore him. Emergency intercom I adore him. Emergency Intercom, mm-hmm Gen Z Absurdity Meets Confessional Comedy Okay, could be good. Could be good for looky-loos. Good Hang with Amy Poehler and Hollywood Handbook. Good Hang with Amy Poehler and Hollywood Handbook.

Speaker 2 4:49

One of my favorites, it's a satirical look at the entertainment industry okay, well, that certainly is a whole bunch of stuff right there and you know what. You could spend a lot of time listening to all of those things, and maybe you should. I don't know. I mean, I'm not a you know what. I try to be a podcast person you're just not, I'm just not yeah you're not a listener? I'm well.

Speaker 2 5:17

I'm a guy who will listen while I'm driving around the car yeah right, that's, that's the guy I am, and it used to be, uh, that I got a lot of information that way, because I used to have very long commutes, you know, but I don't anymore, so you haven't for almost 20 years I know, yeah, so I don't really hear a lot of that, but I don't know I do hear. I do hear music on online though, so music I do kind of keep up and, you know, keep in touch with current music.

Raccoon on Meth

Speaker 1 5:53

Yeah, so you know, because that's interesting to me no one of my favorite things that I heard lately what's that? In akron, ohio, a raccoon named chewy was found in a vehicle holding a meth pipe. During a police traffic.

Speaker 2 6:19

Stop that, that that guy's like such a character. A raccoon On meth.

Speaker 1 6:27

Because raccoons need meth, exactly.

Speaker 2 6:30

That's exactly what they need.

Speaker 1 6:31

That's the first thing they need yeah, they need to ramp it all up a little bit.

Speaker 2 6:36

I think they wouldn't be raccoons without it.

Speaker 1 6:38

To tell you the truth, so, needless to say, perhaps the human owner arrested, raccoon not charged.

Speaker 2 6:49

Oh good, okay, yeah, you know. Did I tell you that? I know I think I mentioned last week that I scared off a raccoon with the drum set. Yes, you did, I did, and they're gone. Well, they have packed up and moved, okay. So that's something.

Speaker 1 7:05

As the late great Larry Levine would say, you should hang out a shingle.

Speaker 2 7:11

Oh yeah, there you go, Just put raccoon removal. Really bad amateur drummer.

Speaker 1 7:19

For hire to rid you of raccoons Well, rid you of raccoons, yeah, perfect, and everything else, yeah. Or hire to rid you of raccoons Well, rid you of raccoons, yeah.

Speaker 2 7:26

Perfect. And everything else.

Speaker 3 7:28

Yeah.

Speaker 2 7:29

Yeah, yeah, that sounds great, it does. It would be fun though, yeah, so it'd be fun for me. I'd just bang on the drum all day.

Speaker 1 7:38

That's you, baby. Speaking of Todd Rundgren, yeah, he's going to be in Plymouth, is he? In June? Oh, my goodness, he's playing a gig there. I was kind of looking at tickets and then I don't know, I don't know, I'm on the fence, yeah, but I got a June concert.

Speaker 2 8:00

I'm going to already oh that's right, I think it might be the night after. Well, no, I think this is the first. I think it's on the first that I'm going.

Speaker 1 8:10

I thought it was the 24th.

Speaker 2 8:12

I don't think so. No, that's Keb Moe and Taj Mahal. I don't think it's the first, okay.

Speaker 1 8:21

But maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. Have you heard about Chicken Jockey? No, okay, so Minecraft movie is out and for reasons I cannot begin to divine this, isn't the song.

Speaker 2 8:42

No, that's Steve's Hot Chicken. Yeah, okay, never mind, that's also from the minecraft movie. But continue.

Speaker 1 8:49

Well, this is probably it, because fans during key scenes yell out chicken jockey, oh okay, and at some theaters people have actually brought live chickens.

Speaker 2 9:06

Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 1 9:13

And it gets really wild and ramped up and stupid. So there's all this security now, if you go see Minecraft, the movie.

Speaker 2 9:25

That is very funny and you know what I'll bet you? That is one of the reasons, one of the few reasons, that anybody is going to see that movie. Well, exactly Because the reviews are awful. Oh, of course they are. It's a bad, bad movie. No, I mean, people are going to do this kind of thing.

Speaker 1 9:47

I have zero, less than zero, interest in seeing a Minecraft movie, but I want to see people with live chickens yelling chicken junk.

Speaker 2 9:57

Yeah, oh yeah, at random points, absolutely Yep During the movie. I'm with you on that one.

Speaker 1 10:04

Now in chicken news I've got more.

Speaker 2 10:11

I do think we talked about Steve's hot chicken, didn't we? Guinness Book of World Records Could be. Could be. It's a 34 second song that Jack Black sang.

Speaker 1 10:26

Oh yeah, we played it. Yes, yes, yes. Well, maybe that's Jack Black's.

Speaker 2 10:33

Yeah, that's his thing.

Speaker 1 10:34

It's all part of the. I don't know either.

Speaker 2 10:37

Anyway, he took off all his hair. By the way, on his head, beard, mustache, hair gone.

Speaker 1 10:48

I saw a video of him just shaving it all off okay, I don't get it because in the film, or at least in an ad I saw for the film, he had like an afro and a massive beard yeah, he was going k, he had gone caveman for quite a while, but no, he is like recently. I saw this today earlier I see like no on saturday so this wasn't for the movie no, no, no, this is in.

Speaker 1 11:24

Right now, I got to finish Chicken.

Speaker 2 11:26

Right, yeah.

Speaker 1 11:27

This is my most amazing chicken-centric, fowl-centric, both F-O-U-L and F-O-W-L story ever.

Speaker 2 11:43

Is it about Mike? Who's Mike? Okay, no, if that doesn't ring a bell, then it's not the story I'm thinking of, which is the most amazing chicken story I've ever heard.

Speaker 1 11:53

Well, this is foul and foul.

Speaker 2 11:55

Okay.

Speaker 1 11:56

There is now available to you for purchase fried chicken flavored toothpaste.

Yeah, I get that, do you? Oh, yeah, I am going to get me some chicken toothpaste.

Speaker 1 12:33

I've got. It's designed to make brushing untenable. I would like rather never brush my teeth again than have to use fried chicken toothpaste.

Speaker 2 12:45

Isaac, it sounds amazing. I have to try it.

Speaker 1 12:48

Yeah, of course you do yeah If it's under a dollar.

Yeah.

Speaker 1 15:51

And to get returned the next day?

Right.

Speaker 1 16:32

Total opposite, right? Yeah, I'm just feeling like how can I make my skin even cleaner? Yeah, right, exactly. And can I just strip it down to my skeleton? Oh, I investigated. Not because I mean it's a really expensive procedure, it's also surgery requiring general anesthesia, so getting my neck flaps tucked.

Speaker 2 17:04

Oh yeah, getting your neck flaps done. That's kind of out, isn't it?

Speaker 1 17:08

Well, yeah, but it's called something like oh, maybe you could help me Flappectomy. It's called something like plastomastomy. It's called something totally Um, which is perfect, and I kind of want a Plastamast me.

Speaker 2 17:30

Microvascular reconstruction.

Speaker 2 17:50

Well, I mean, I'm looking at things and I'm finding flap surgery everywhere. So neck, flap surgery.

Speaker 1 17:59

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what's the—?

Speaker 2 18:05

That was the definition I gave you, so that's not actually what we're looking at.

Speaker 1 18:14

Free flap surgery.

Oh my God, Pharyngeal flap.

Speaker 3 18:23

Ritidectomy, cervicoplasty Hmm, both there to improve the appearance of the neck by tightening the skin and underlying muscles. I don't know, it's one of those things. Anyway, let's see. What else have we got going on?

A neck lift platysmaplasty. Platysmaplasty or chin tuck, aims to tighten and lift the skin and underlying tissue in the neck and jawline so it gets rid of your neck and your jowls. And I want a platypusplasty for my birthday. I see, not really, but kind of All right.

Speaker 3 19:52

So caveman skin, all right, yeah, right, I've heard of it. Here's the next one.

Speaker 1 19:57

Here's the next one that makes me— If you've got caveman skin, you may as well do this. It's called duck nails.

Speaker 2 20:14

Duck nails.

Speaker 1 20:15

Yes.

Speaker 2 20:16

Okay, yeah, I don't like the sound of it so far.

Speaker 1 20:19

Well, it looks worse than it sounds. It's where you get your nails and you have to have this done. Um, they have to be. It has to be fake, because what you're having put on is where your nails, where they get to the tip of your finger, flare out on both sides sides, oh yeah so you've got like duck feet, so they would catch on everything oh, that's boy don't even try to wear a sweater with that no, no, that's the least your problems.

Speaker 1 20:55

And they're rounded anyway on the corners. They're hideous. It's the ugliest thing. Wear what you want. No one's going to want to be near you. It makes no freaking difference.

Speaker 2 21:12

Duck fingers.

Speaker 1 21:14

And, of course, a lot of yuts duck nails. A lot of people who get this say that it's Best in yellow.

Speaker 2 21:27

Oh yeah, Okay, so it looks like the bill of the duck Actual defeat.

Speaker 1 21:32

It looks more like defeat. It could be the bill or the feet they flare out on both sides. Yeah. All right, that's weird, so that's kind of like a duck foot, you know, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 21:44

Whatever?

Speaker 1 21:45

Hideous, hideous. If you want to torture yourselves out there, look this up. Look at them.

Speaker 2 21:52

That's right. Make your appointment today, okay.

Speaker 1 21:55

Now we have flower beards, which is a trend, where men looking at you, john Baker are putting fresh flowers in their beards. I see this is not happening so much in Massachusetts.

Speaker 2 22:19

Right, yeah.

Speaker 1 22:20

It's more California.

Speaker 2 22:23

Well, maybe where the flowers are already blooming, a little more.

Speaker 1 22:27

We got plenty of flowers blooming yeah. I mean if you had a beard, you could go outside, cut a lilac and stick it on in there.

Speaker 2 22:36

Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of a big thing to stick in your beard, but you'd have to have a letterman beard to put a bunch of lilacs in there, you would think.

Speaker 1 22:47

Well, to put anything in in there, what's wrong with everyone? Stop it, stop it. I'm picturing one person uh, gender irrelevant with caveman skin, skin, yeah, duck nails, uh-huh, and a full beard with fresh flowers stuck in it.

Speaker 2 23:14

Yeah. But, wait, oh, there's more, there's more. What would you pay now for this Thailand, okay.

Speaker 1 23:25

Yeah, we're going to Thailand.

Speaker 2 23:28

Bill Kirkenbauer is in Thailand, I believe.

Speaker 1 23:31

Well, perhaps he is having this procedure done. People in Thailand are getting round pink tattoos on their kneecaps and other places on their bodies, like the tips of their shoulders, Some people even on their what Like on their ankles too. Well on their cheeks and it's to do what it's to give you a youthful glow like remember when you were young and you had pink circles on your body I remember I used to get sent to the nurse's office all the time because they said you were flushed, so I probably had pink circles.

Speaker 2 24:27

I bet I did yeah yeah round, pink but they didn't say oh, look at your youthful glow.

Speaker 1 24:34

Well, you better get on the nurse's office, second grade.

Speaker 2 24:37

So I did have a quite youthful glow, very youthful yeah okay, so you can add that to your already outstanding list.

Speaker 1 24:49

We are building quite the creature here so far, and here's my final and most fabulous.

Speaker 2 25:00

Top this. Look off with this.

Speaker 1 25:02

Which makes me feel better. Okay, fake eye bags Are you kidding me. Under eye shadows, oh my God, as a fashion statement. So trying to look really tired and like your under eyes are droopy and saggy.

Duck Nails and Fashion Disasters

Speaker 2 25:26

Oh my God, Yep. So right now we kind of have extremes going on out there. We've got the group, the no makeup group, right?

Speaker 1 25:39

The caveman skin.

Speaker 2 25:40

And the caveman skin. People Duck nails, duck nails and flower beards. Wow yeah, flower beards. That's really.

Speaker 1 25:50

Pink anti-aging tattoos, but those go on your knees so they don't have to interfere with any of these other wonderful things and oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 26:00

And fake eye bags and circles and fake circles under your eyes.

Speaker 3 26:04

Yeah, that is so insane.

Speaker 2 26:08

Speaker 2 26:18

honey, I have not like they can't run. They think they won't be able to run as far, because they're too tired.

Speaker 1 26:22

I haven't understood what anyone under 30 or even 35 is thinking is attractive in a long time, such as now. I'm going to go to some clothing trends here. Okay, celebrities like Sidney Sweeney and Dua Lipa are wearing little bad poopy pants, diaper shorts.

Speaker 2 27:01

Diaper shorts.

Speaker 3 27:02

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 27:04

Okay.

Speaker 1 27:10

Yeah, that sounds ridiculous. Now, the people who are manufacturing and selling these things all one of them are calling them bloomers, but they are diaper shorts.

Speaker 2 27:24

Diaper shorts yeah, Way to go, Dua Lipa.

Speaker 1 27:27

Way to go. Sidney, sweeney, tulips, yep, everybody's wearing their $1,000 diapers. I mean, you know, go to the Pampers aisle and if you really— Well, exactly depends If you are on a real budget I'll tell you where to go. Go to Walmart. Yeah, by sheer serendipity, at one time and we're going way back in the way back machine I was in the Walmart in Norwich, new York, and I had to buy tampons. Guess what? I couldn't find An unopened box of tampons. Oh, wow. So people go in there, open a box, grab a couple of ponds and either use them there or roll out with them. Wow, now I understand. That's something I understand Because— yeah, emergency.

Speaker 2 28:52

I understand Because, yeah, emergency, come on yeah.

Speaker 1 28:54

And there is a movement underway, and I can't remember who's doing it where? Certainly not this country, but where people are fighting for it's probably in Scandinavia. Oh, you know what? In India. There's a big thing about this in India, because Indian women don't have access to, or cannot afford products like tampons and pads.

Speaker 2 29:29

Yeah.

Speaker 1 29:29

They end up having to stay home when they have their periods.

Speaker 2 29:34

Right Yep.

Speaker 1 29:35

They can't work, can't do nothing. It's a nightmare. Yep, it's an absolute nightmare. The girls can't go to school. It has so many horrendous effects. Those things should be free, and the fact that they aren't is ridiculous. You should be able to grab a pawn wherever you are.

Speaker 2 29:59

Yeah.

Speaker 1 30:00

We're calling them pawns.

Speaker 2 30:02

That's right.

Speaker 1 30:02

Because I like the way that sounds. Okay, okay, so I don't know how I got to. Oh, so, what I was gonna say is and the other thing and this is also an emergency that you can't find in a, in certain walmart stores is an unopened box of diapers. Because emergency yeah same damn similar situation. So just stroll on in. And if you want to check out this beauty trend, this fashion trend, just grab a pair of dainety dipes.

Speaker 2 30:48

Yeah, why not?

Speaker 1 30:49

why not?

Speaker 2 30:53

I want to tell you I got a letter from my daughter yesterday. My daughter is in her early 20s, but she wrote this when she was three. Actually, me and my dad this was a school project me and my dad went to Disneyland. We went on my favorite ride I got really wet, I was happy and her favorite ride as she drew a picture of it that was Splash Mountain at Disneyland.

Speaker 1 31:36

That should be a haiku.

Speaker 2 31:38

Yeah, I mean, this is a wonderful thing. I'm glad she didn't send me the actual original. She took a picture of it and texted it to me, and that makes me very happy. It's adorable, it's adorable, it's adorable, isn't it?

Speaker 1 31:49

It's a very nicely done picture. Every single member of your family can draw beautifully.

Speaker 2 31:56

Yeah, they've all got some kind of—.

Speaker 1 31:58

Such artists.

Speaker 2 32:00

Some kind of—something going on there, yeah.

Speaker 1 32:02

The artists.

Speaker 2 32:04

My brother, brian, would be a really good—he would be really good at it if he wanted to. He used to do stuff like you know, our crumb kind of things, yeah, and weirdo guys coming out of you know hot cars with the tires burning and stuff. He used to do that all the time and he was great at it, but he just kind of he kind of gave up on it when he was younger and really hasn't gotten back to it. But my youngest brother, he actually is quite an artist.

Speaker 1 32:34

Yeah, his stuff's amazing. It's like verisimilitude, you know, some of it looks like photographs.

Speaker 2 32:42

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 32:44

It's pretty outrageous. It's pretty outrageous. No one in my family, except for my dad, who could sketch garments like nobody's business, can draw anything.

Speaker 3 32:59

Yeah.

Speaker 1 33:02

None of us. None of us. Those are genes we do not have. Your family's insane Every single one of you.

Speaker 2 33:08

We're also multi-instrumentalists. Well, I'll say yeah, except for my next younger brother, the one who quit drawing. He didn't want to get into music, he got into fixing cars Very, very good at that kind of stuff, but I know he could be great if he wanted to be.

Speaker 1 33:31

We should hook him up with my cousin Rob. They live near each other, don't they?

Speaker 2 33:35

That's true, yeah.

Speaker 1 33:37

That could be an interesting thing there. Yeah, Well that's great. Back to a couple of fashion things. Julia Fox went to the 2025 Fashion Trust Awards in a what she called a clowncore ensemble. A clown core ensemble, mm-hmm. So she wore a dramatic, again, as she put it clown-themed outfit, including a nose and the wig and, oh God, I don't know what that.

Speaker 2 34:23

Sounds very.

Speaker 1 34:25

And the makeup. Very hey look at me, well, except it was new. It was Very hey look at me, well, except it was new. It was like hey, look away. It was like you know she could have had caveman skin and duck nails.

Speaker 2 34:39

Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 34:40

For the same effect.

Speaker 2 34:41

Well, that is true, that is true.

Speaker 1 34:43

Now here's something that I find hilarious the Cannes Film Festival has banned quote naked dresses, because too many revealing red carpet outfits prompt new rules.

Speaker 2 35:00

Yeah.

Speaker 1 35:12

Well, I've got to say that people have been showing up on red carpets wearing less and less and less clothing. Yeah, you know, you get like a sheer shirt, sometimes with nipple cover, covers, sometimes without men and women. Um, you know, diapers, really short diapers, really short diapers.

Speaker 2 35:29

Yeah, super short diapers.

Speaker 1 35:32

Bikini diapers. I don't know, I don't know Me too Anyway. Yeah, so people are showing up at red carpets, basically undressed, are showing up at red carpets, basically undressed, and I don't care very much, but I don't think it's, I don't know, it's not very tasteful, yeah, but I don't care.

Speaker 2 36:09

Okay.

Speaker 1 36:10

All right. Now there's an exciting film. Is there an?

Speaker 2 36:13

exciting film Coming soon. Oh, coming soon.

Speaker 1 36:19

An exciting film In a world where everything is possible, it's impossible, oh yeah the final reckoning. Very exciting right now. This is mission impossible. Six and I call it mission impossible 62 because that is the age of the star Tom Cruise. He's 60-frickin'-two and he's doing Mr Action Star.

Speaker 2 37:01

Well, you know what I'm thinking. This is the final reckoning, because he's probably getting a little old for this you think, yeah, here's what I want to see.

Speaker 1 37:15

And then there's this whole article about how he keeps in shape and how important it is to him. Well, obviously, but there are women who are said same. There are women who are said same. I want to see a film where a 62 year old woman is the sexy star.

Speaker 2 37:42

Well, I you know what I think. Helen mirren has taken that role and run with it. Helen Mirren has taken that role and run with it. Wrong, you don't think so?

Speaker 1 37:49

No, you think she's first of all Helen Mirren's 80-something.

Speaker 2 37:54

Right, but I'm talking about when she was a little younger.

Speaker 1 38:00

Yeah, I don't know, I don't think she ran with it. Okay, I mean, I don't know, I could be wrong, but I'm thinking about Helen Mirren films. I don't know.

Speaker 2 38:18

I could be wrong, but I'm thinking about Helen Mirren films and I'm not remembering a film where she was, say, 60 and playing the hot.

Speaker 1 38:27

She wasn't playing the ingenue in ingenue, but he's the hot sexy star. He's gonna get the quote girl, girls, women, whatever. Um, we've got our favorite people. Of course. We've got Hayley Atwell, simon Pegg, vanessa Kirby who am I missing? Ving Rhames. So all your favorites Are going to be in it. It is A long film.

Speaker 2 39:10

Well, I think all of them have been so far, haven't they?

Speaker 1 39:13

Well, this is two hours and ten minutes.

Speaker 2 39:17

Wow.

Speaker 1 39:18

Yeah, which you know used to be average and now it's not, and I love the plot. Um, and I love the plot. The imf faces a rogue ai, oh no, final showdown with a cruciform key and a sunken sub. Okay, I'm saying that's a Subway sandwich With too much Italian dressing.

Speaker 2 39:51

Yeah.

Speaker 3 39:52

That's what I call that.

Speaker 2 39:53

And that could actually.

Speaker 1 39:55

That could be it.

Speaker 2 39:56

I like mine that way actually.

Speaker 1 39:57

I do too. I love all that Soaking wet bread and then just pour it all over it yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 40:07

Yeah.

Speaker 1 40:08

Let's see Mariska Hargitay. I've heard of her. Well, we got a little news from her. But uh, first wait, first let me go to florida. You know what? There's been flor Florida shenanigans before I get to Mariska Hargitay. So a guy named Paul Quinn woke up and he and his family realized in short order that a seven-foot alligator had entered their house in the night.

Speaker 2 40:55

Okay, who's the idiot that left the door open?

Speaker 1 40:57

Yeah, well, probably Paul Quinn, florida man. Yeah, and this story comes to us from local 10 news dot com. It's an actual thing.

Speaker 3 41:16

Mm, hmm.

Speaker 1 41:18

My favorite thing is Florida man Games. Ok, there's a thing now called the Florida man Games and it's a bunch of guys, florida men, who do things like beer belly sumo Okay, yep, and hurricane grocery brawl Okay, yep, and Hurricane Grocery Brawl. So where they're, like in a grocery store, fighting over the last bottle of water. Yeah, so I want that's like. To me that sounds like the Highland Games, Except it's like the Delta game. It's the low land.

Speaker 2 42:11

It's the low life games. Yes, lowland, it's the low life games.

Speaker 1 42:12

Yes, there you go, the low life game, and I want to go to the low life games.

Speaker 2 42:14

I really do they're all probably wearing diapers and duck nails and caveman skin.

Speaker 1 42:20

Exactly. And here's my last Florida man story, which is really exceptional. Seminole County resident celebrates code violation. Now his code violation is for having too much junk in his yard. Having too much junk in his yard, you know it's the rusted out cars, it's the broken appliances, it's overgrown sawmill grass, the whole thing is like I know this so much better than you think. The whole thing is a huge rusting death trap.

Speaker 2 43:13

This was my dad's life, oh God, for the last 20 years of his life.

Speaker 1 43:19

Well, he was in upstate New York though, yeah, and he and a friend also had a metal crusher. Right.

Speaker 2 43:27

So they were gathering everybody's junk, but they gathered it all at my dad's house in the yard, and then they would, you know, eventually crush it up to it and crush it up, and finally my mom had enough and she said get all of this out of here. Yeah, oh, it was nuts.

Speaker 1 43:47

Well, yeah, oh, it was nuts. Well, upstate new york is really, if you want to do a hazmat yard tour, that's the place to go. Yeah, I have never seen and I've been up there a lot on some back roads I have never in my life seen more junk spread out over more yards.

Speaker 2 44:18

Yeah. Anywhere it's pretty impressive, really, oh my.

Speaker 1 44:23

God, it's amazing what must be leaching into the groundwater and the air. I can't even imagine.

Speaker 2 44:31

Whatever it is, it probably makes people keep garbage in their yards.

Speaker 1 44:37

Well, this guy right that got the code violations celebrated it by putting a six-foot-tall, six-foot-wide fiberglass butt in his yard. Fiberglass butt in his yard, okay.

Speaker 2 45:01

Yep.

Speaker 1 45:05

Where'd he get that, I wonder? Oh, who knows? Probably his friend. You know his friend over there. Yeah, His friend over there got it, had it. Hey, hey, Chuck.

Speaker 2 45:19

He probably called him up. You got that big butt over there still. What is that like?

Speaker 1 45:25

36 square feet. Yeah, I just got another. I just got a fine. I want to put that in my yard for the next time the police come around. The pigs show up, yep.

Speaker 2 45:40

Give them a piece of my mind.

Speaker 1 45:42

They should have a piece of my mind, but they should have the Florida man games in this guy's yard.

Speaker 2 45:52

Yeah, they probably should. Yeah, that seems reasonable.

Speaker 1 45:58

That seems reasonable. There's a new movie called You're Cordially Invited, which cracks me up because that's what I have to say to my dog to get her to jump up onto the chair next to me. Yeah, she's so funny, she's so weird. She always acts like she comes and sits right next to my chair and looks up at me like please, mommy, please, may I get up next to you?

Speaker 2 46:26

I put her food down in front of her and she stops and she looks at it and she looks at me like Where's Mommy, can I have this? Is this for me? Mm-hmm. I have to tell her yes, that's your food, yeah.

The Wicked Bible and Literature

Speaker 1 46:38

Eat it. She is yes, that's your food. Yeah, eat it. She is. Anyway, he's very funny. And so I say, yep, come on, come on, you can do it. I see you do it all the time. Come on, come on. And then I say you're cordially invited and that's when she hops up. Anyway, you're cordially invited. Now streaming somewhere amazon prime, okay, and it is will ferrell, reese, witherspoon, geraldine, this one, nathan and hayley Atwell. And when two weddings are double booked at the same venue, this movie gets made.

Speaker 2 47:33

I see.

Speaker 1 47:33

So I mean oh God, does that sound tired.

Speaker 2 47:39

I hope they've all got on their fake eye bags. Yeah, this sounds Well, they probably do. They probably do. I mean, there's probably sparing no expense for this.

Speaker 1 47:48

Now I mean Will Ferrell, reese Witherspoon. I love them both.

Speaker 2 47:52

Yeah, will makes a movie funny, no matter what it is really. I mean, he's going gonna do something hilarious yeah, I mean he's been doing commercials for what? Jet blue or something, something yeah no for paypal is that what it is?

Speaker 1 48:10

and they're so hilarious. I hate paypal. I hate commercials. Love, I don't know what to say.

Speaker 3 48:19

Okay.

Speaker 2 48:21

It's just so. Hey, there's been a bunch of stuff that's happened in the news. Well, yeah. You want to hear about any of it.

Speaker 1 48:29

Yes, and I'd like to chime in. I'm sure I know where this is starting.

Speaker 2 48:34

Well, we had some very severe weather throughout the United States and Kentucky and Tennessee, and people have actually died from intense thunderstorms and tornadoes and so on. Israel and Hamas are still fighting over there. Russia is sending massive amounts of drones into Kiev, is sending massive amounts of drones into Kyiv. The EU has decided we're going to pause our retaliatory tariffs on US goods, but you know what, if the talks we're going to have don't go well, we could reinstate them. But we're not talking about any of that. What we've got is this one of the most educational things on the radio today, we're going to talk about the Bible. Are you into the Bible? My favorite, yeah, new Testament, I hope One.

Speaker 2 49:36

Robert Barkett and Martin Lucas, the royal printers in London, published a King James Bible with a couple of egregious errors. It's been since been called the Wicked Bible Left out the word not out of the Seventh Commandment saying and leaving it with thou shalt commit adultery, perfect. And then they had another. Let's see a second error read the Lord hath showed us his glory and his great ass Fabulous, instead of the Lord has showed us his great glory and his greatness.

Speaker 1 50:19

Well, you know where his great ass is. It's in Florida, on somebody's lawn, that's right.

Speaker 2 50:25

These guys were eventually fined 300 pounds, which is the equivalent to about $75,000. And they lost their printing license. All but 11 of the 1,000 copies of the wicked Bible were destroyed and in 2008, one of the surviving copies went on the market for $90,000.

Speaker 1 50:53

Oh, I want, I want a few of those.

Speaker 2 50:55

Wouldn't that be fun.

Speaker 1 50:56

Yeah, it would.

Speaker 2 50:58

Everyone start looking. That's right 1631. It would be an old one.

Speaker 1 51:05

I want to tell you about a great book I'm reading and I can't tell you what. I want to tell you about it.

Speaker 3 51:11

Okay.

Speaker 1 51:12

It's called. We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves.

Speaker 2 51:19

All right which All right, which is probably true. Yeah it's a very Jimmy Buffett kind of phrase.

Speaker 1 51:31

Now, it's about a young woman. I mean, it sounds so boring if I tell you the, if I give you any information about this without the huge catch, it doesn't. It's not going to grab you. You should be grabbed. This is a grab you and shake you book. It's so good, it's so interesting, so funny, touching, and it raises questions about the ethical implications of scientific experiments, particularly those involving animals. Now, that just sounds ridiculous. It doesn't sound like a book you want to read, okay. But let's see, it challenges the traditional boundaries between human and non-human. Okay, okay, okay, it's by Karen J Fowler. We are all completely beside ourselves. Get it, read it, you will love it. It's quite extraordinary and it was written in 2013. Oh, okay, and it's something that I had never heard of or read. And turns out, it's on this Booker Prize list of page turners.

Speaker 2 53:18

Gotcha of page turners gotcha, which booker price? Page turners may sound like a contradiction in terms yeah, to some of you it might, yeah, but usually they're a little more heady right and you don't Through that.

Speaker 1 53:35

Yeah. Well, this is one of those delightful novels where it combines perfectly and it's totally readable. It's a page turner, but it's literary. I love it. Get it. And it's fun to say we are all totally beside ourselves, yeah.

Speaker 2 54:02

Hey, can I just say I have a peach tree now you can say that oh, okay, I have a peach tree now. Really.

Speaker 1 54:10

Yeah, it's got peaches on it Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 2 54:16

I'm very excited.

Speaker 1 54:20

What are the ins and outs, what are the hows and whys?

Speaker 2 54:23

Well, you know, it's the kind of peach tree that will grow up here really well because it's made for like zone four and we're in zone six, so it should do actually pretty well here. The only problem is you've got to keep the deer and the birds and stuff away from the peaches, so yes, you have to throw a net over it and a fence when they get bigger. But right now it's uh, it's like a six foot tree right now with 50 little peaches on it. It's really, really cute. And when he says little.

Speaker 1 54:56

I mean we're talking reason size.

Speaker 2 54:59

Yeah, well, maybe a little Tiny bit bigger.

Speaker 1 55:02

Yeah, not as big as olives.

Speaker 2 55:05

No, no. So but and we'll see, you know, we'll see how many of them actually end up making it all the way through the season. I had a lemon tree where I used to get 50 little lemons on it and only end up with three of them. That made it all the way, you know. So never know. Anyway, I missed that.

Speaker 1 55:25

That's my tree story you know we hadn't mentioned this, just crazy story out of new york. It's not funny, unfortunately, unfortunately, but uh. Two people were killed and 20 injured when a mexican navy training ship that's another contradiction in terms on a global goodwill tour, don't know what that means struck the underside of the brooklyn bridge in New York Saturday night.

Speaker 2 55:59

Yeah, it lost power and they couldn't stop it from running into the bridge.

Speaker 1 56:05

There were 277 people on the ship. It was a sailing ship called the Cuauhtemoc at the time of the incident and everyone is believed to be accounted for oh good now we just got some heavy news about jimster feet, jimster ginger about ginger feimster, fortune's mother, whom we love and adore and is so hilarious.
