The Day My Bra Taught Me About Happiness
Buckle up as we explore the unexpected science of happiness through a surprisingly relatable scenario – the blissful relief of removing an uncomfortably tight bra at day's end. This accidental experiment reveals a universal truth: sometimes happiness comes from the contrast between discomfort and relief. Also, you can somehow get into just about anything if you try hard enough.
Our conversation takes a concerning turn as we dive into Florida's underground cosmetic surgery scene, where "discount" procedures lead to devastating consequences. From a woman caught fleeing post-BBL surgery with stolen credit cards to back-alley Botox administered in sheds resulting in facial paralysis, these stories highlight the dangerous lengths people go for social media validation. Speaking of questionable trends, we also discuss the alarming practice of implanting gems into eyeballs for TikTok fame – a procedure medical professionals warn can cause blindness.
Nature provides some comic relief with tales of wedding ceremonies interrupted by opportunistic birds. A seagull in Hyannis and a goose in Ontario both executed perfectly timed ring heists during wedding ceremonies, creating unforgettable memories for all the wrong reasons. And wait until you hear about Brian, the UK aquarium octopus who's developed the habit of hurling crabs at unsuspecting visitors with impeccable aim!
We wrap up with a fascinating educational segment about cheetahs – these magnificent creatures don't roar like other big cats but instead meow like house cats and pose virtually no threat to humans. From pickle slushies at Sonic to ChatGPT's strange behavior, this episode celebrates the weird and wonderful aspects of our world that make life simultaneously baffling and beautiful.

Hey everybody and welcome to the Ann Levine Show. It's Tuesday, July 15th, Halfway through July 2025.
Speaker 2:The Ides of July Beware.
Speaker 1:Yeah, beware, and that's Michael over there. Hello, warning you, and this is Steely Dan, hey 19.
Speaker 2:Or hey, 16. As I as you suggested the other day. Yeah, we were talking about all those old songs where, you know, all the girls are 16 years old and I'm like, oh, what about this one? And then, uh, you corrected me, well, michael, shortly thereafter, because you know I was way off. Michael saw a seaplane going by. You know, that was way off.
Speaker 1:Michael saw a seaplane going by with an advertisement for Cuervo Gold and immediately I'm thinking of the lyrics to this song. The Cuervo Gold, the fine Colombian make tonight a wonderful thing. Ah, ah, ah.
Speaker 2:How fabulous is that. So here we are, I'm just growing old.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, yeah Me too.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so that's happening. We've got a bit of a stretch of decent weather. How about that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, we have. We've had some actual summer, although it's been not particularly warm. I mean, it's been warm, but it hasn't been like no dog days.
Speaker 2:Right, no dog days yet no, not at this point. No dog days, right, no dog days yet?
Speaker 1:No, not at this point. Well, this weekend we had the Wimbledon finals. Wimbledon wrapped up? They sure did, and Iga Sviantek won.
Speaker 2:Yeah. The women's final against and good for her.
Speaker 1:Anna Asinimova, asinimova, yeah, anisimova.
Speaker 2:Anna Asimova. Asimova, yeah, anasimova.
Speaker 1:Anasimova.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I don't know how they say it.
Speaker 1:They say it all different ways.
Speaker 2:She's American, though, so I guess you can say it any way you want, anasimova.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anasimova.
Speaker 2:Anasimova yeah, she's from Boston.
Speaker 1:Anasimova, anna Simova. Yeah, she's from Boston, anna Simova, you are, I am so there. And then the final was Djokovic, was Alcaraz and Sinner, yeah, and Sinner won, which.
Speaker 2:Spoiler alert.
Speaker 1:Which you know, Carlos is my man, so it wasn't my favorite outcome, but he's won at least two Wimbledons already. Yeah, and as I was saying to someone over the weekend, this is going to be the rivalry.
Speaker 2:I think you're right, I think this yeah.
Speaker 1:For the next 10 years.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think for this generation. This will be the, you know, the Bjorn McEnroe, or you know kind of you know whatever those you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it'll be the big two. I mean someone could break in here, but I'm not sure. Really, you know, I don't see Taylor Fritz or.
Speaker 2:Boy. He had a real good showing.
Speaker 1:He did great. Yeah, he really did, but I don't see him rising to the level where he's consistently—I don't see him being one of the big three, like the Djokovic-Nadal-Federer triad.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, and Djokovic himself is not long, you know. No, not for this game, I mean he'll always be in that company, but I mean, his career is on the wane.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he got taken out, but let me tell you one thing that happened during his match Djokovic's match with Flavio Caballi, an Italian guy. Flavio, yeah, I heard of him you have oh yeah. Flavio, we call him Flavio yeah, flavio, flav, yep anyway so.
Speaker 2:Hugh Grant.
Speaker 1:Hugh Grant was sitting in the Royal Box and all these. The place was full of celebrities, oh yeah, just jam-packed with celebrities, anyway, but some and there were a few in the Royal Box, not tons, but yeah. So Hugh Grant was there and during the quarterfinal between djokovic and caboli, hugh grant fell asleep, yeah, and he was sitting behind queen camilla that's hilarious, yeah, so yeah, and so he was like slumped over with his sunglasses on in a suit, but his tie was loosened a little and it was like off to the side a little.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, okay yeah.
Speaker 1:So he took. He looked totally like you know, hungover.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:He looked absolutely.
Speaker 2:He may have been.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, that could happen, but anyway, that was one of my oh and the BBC said of course they were like it's all got a bit much for Hugh Grant.
Speaker 2:Oh yes.
Speaker 1:It's all got a bit much and the man needed a nap. I get it, so that's what they had to say about. There's talk of a royal box ban, which I-.
Speaker 2:That's really funny.
Speaker 1:I want to be in that number.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:I want to be able to say- oh yeah, ban me from the box. I've been banned from the box.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then this other thing happened. You weren't watching when this happened, but during the final between Alcaraz and Sinner, a spectator popped a champagne cork mid-serve in the second set. Oh man, Well, the cork flew onto the grass, oh great.
Speaker 2:Great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so there was this, you know pop. And then this thing fell on the Great. Yeah, so there was this, you know pop. And then this thing fell on the court. Yeah, it was just yeah. That ain't good.
Speaker 2:It was ridiculous.
Speaker 1:So Sinner bent over, picked it up and handed it to a ball kid, and then the umpire had to, you know, scold the crowd and say whatever she said. Please, yes, yeah, but the greatest moment from sunday was a ball girl sprinted onto center court to return a stray ball and then momentarily, just like this little minute, pretended she was in the match. She like oh really yes, it was totally like you would never expect an English ball boy. Oh my God, that's so cute and she struck a pose and then wild applause.
Speaker 2:That is hilarious.
Speaker 1:So that was.
Speaker 2:I mean, she obviously has lost her position as a ball person.
Speaker 1:You know, I'm sure. That's wildly outside of the rules. I know she's banned from the box. Yeah, you know. I'm sure you only get one shot at that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's probably true, yeah.
Speaker 1:So why not strike a pose, yeah, yeah, and become a tennis influencer?
Speaker 2:She's trying to kickstart her 15 minutes.
Speaker 1:You know what I found out on Sunday. In addition to this other stuff about women.
Speaker 2:You found out that dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers.
Speaker 1:Yes, I did. Okay, I did find that out and thank you for having. I thought that the educational part of the show was coming up later.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it is. Yeah, we haven't done that part yet, oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:But I mean, you did ask something you learned about and I thought you learned about that Well and also this which could be in that segment, which is how to have a great evening, okay, okay. Yes, I is. How to have a great evening, okay, okay. Yes, I've figured it out.
Speaker 2:You have how to turn any evening into a wonderful okay to like the best evening ever kind of thing.
Speaker 1:Well, really great okay compared to whatever's been going on that day, right.
Speaker 2:So you're in a bad mood? Yep.
Speaker 1:Things aren't going right. Your leg hurts a bit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, your ankles, whatever it is. Your nose is whistling a little weird and it bugs you yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it sounds like you're describing. I don't know who that is, but anyway. Okay, here's what you do you order a bra online and the one that comes is five sizes smaller than what you usually wear in the same bra. Oh, okay, all right, yes. Well, hop up, get ready for the day and put on that bra. That's five sizes too small. Just do it. You can do it. That's right, because you won't even notice.
Speaker 1:No, you won't notice, you won't even notice. No, you won't notice Until the end of the day, when your shoulders are killing you, because this thing you always wear is suddenly digging into your shoulders. You're having a little trouble breathing you have a headache, you can't breathe correctly and it's just like a just this bad, bad feeling, like a oh, just this bad, bad feeling. Yeah, and also I I did notice that morning that the girls were pushed up much further than usual.
Speaker 1:I see, okay well I did notice that that bra is doing his job, obviously but this one seemed to be going over time, you know like whoa, I'm popping out here, Right? Anyhow, go take it off, look at the label and realize holy smokes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you were wearing a size small.
Speaker 1:A size tiny is what I was wearing Right, and so several questions immediately struck me.
Speaker 2:I assume you're still confused as to how you got it on Exactly yeah.
Speaker 1:Exactly Like I should not be able to get into this brassiere with any success Right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it doesn't matter what you do. You can grease yourself down. You should not be able to get into it, right?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it doesn't matter what you do, no, if you grease yourself down.
Speaker 2:You should not be able to get into it.
Speaker 1:Right yeah, grease yourself down. I know you haven't put on that many bras in your life, but that doesn't help.
Speaker 2:I put on things that are very tight though, and sometimes you might have to, you know, reduce the friction.
Speaker 1:Are you talking about your cup? What are you talking about your cup? What are you talking about?
Speaker 2:I'm just talking about, you know, reducing friction.
Speaker 1:Things that are really tight. Well anyway, yeah, it was amazing. When I took it off, I was like, oh, I feel so much better and I understand why. And I understand why. I mean, it was like the whole uncomfortable weirdness of the day revealed itself. The girls collapsed in relaxed happiness and, yeah, and I said to Michael, I just figured out how to have a wonderful evening. By the way, you are listening to this very scientific information on WOMR 92.1 FM in Provincetown Massachusetts.
Speaker 2:That's right. Massachusetts, that's right. And on WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans, and we are streaming worldwide at WOMRorg.
Speaker 1:Now speaking of the WFMR.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Happy birthday, allison.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's right, we're thinking about you, I'm thinking about you. The Facebook told me yeah, yeah. The Facebook said, oh, that's right, we're thinking about you.
Speaker 1:We're thinking about you.
Speaker 2:Saw that the other day the Facebook told me. Yeah, yeah the Facebook said Allison's birthday is coming up.
Speaker 1:Yep and Michael passed on the news to me. Yeah, so now the stories are rolling in. Some of my favorite stories this is, of course, from Florida.
Speaker 2:Okay, the Florida person's story.
Speaker 1:Yes, this is Florida woman.
Speaker 2:Okay, yep.
Speaker 1:And this is an original report. This is for real. A woman in Florida scammed her way into six cosmetic procedures using fake identities, stolen credit cards and a rotating cast of wigs.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh, yes, well, of course.
Speaker 1:She was eventually caught mid-recovery from a Brazilian butt lift. They had gone to run her credit card and then called the police Right. So they came to this place and she attempted to flee literally after a pbo with fresh stitches yeah, I understand.
Speaker 2:Wow, yeah, yeah, and in the area that's really working very hard when you try to run exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's the yeah, that's really working very hard when you try to run Exactly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the stupidest part.
Speaker 1:Well, you know you're committed when you've got $12,000 worth of other people's money in each butt cheek and you're trying to run. Yeah, good point, yeah, so now each butt cheek and you're trying to run.
Speaker 2:Yeah, good point.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so now here's another one.
Speaker 2:Okay, you know, the thing is I don't think they get to remove it, so she does, she's going to go to jail or whatever.
Speaker 1:But she's still got her BBL. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:So now another Florida woman, whose name is Rosa Mena, 50 years old, was arrested in Port St Lucie on July 9th after and this is hard for me to say she paralyzed a woman's face with Botox Administered in a shed behind her house.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, oh, my God.
Speaker 1:Where they found vials, syringes, beauty devices stuffed in bins.
Speaker 2:The back alley Botox.
Speaker 1:She even tried to reverse the paralysis with a vitamin shot. Oh my God, after her client complained. Oh my God, after her client complained, mm-hmm. And she allegedly pressured the victim into signing a fake phlebotomy certificate to avoid charges.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow, great. Yeah, that's wonderful. Yeah, what a nice lady right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so if someone's doing Botox in a shed, maybe don't, I don't know Maybe that's not the best place to get your Botox done.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know. No, I wouldn't think so.
Speaker 1:No, I mean you probably get a good deal, though you do. You get complete facial paralysis.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for only $325. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Which is generally. And you get to keep it Just, oh god, I mean, thank god, it wears off. Yeah, yeah, you know, but not soon. No, oh, my god.
Speaker 2:And it depends on, and obviously they hit the wrong nerve somewhere, so they may have done some actual damage yeah yeah so florida has become the epicenter of this stuff right well and assembly line lifts. That all seems reasonable to me, you know.
Speaker 1:And they have now actual clinics, and I'm putting that in quotes. I mean, these aren't sheds, but they're like strip mall places, right, where you can get cheap, fast-tracked procedures, but they're performed by barely trained staff. Yeah, yep, and some are. They're in strip malls, some of them are in basement suites and they're advertised aggressively on social media. And the rise in deaths and injuries tied to this stuff is growing and growing oh, yeah, and the demand is growing. What is wrong with these people?
Speaker 2:uh, that they're. They want Instagram clout. What, what for what do you mean? It's their whole identity.
Speaker 1:Now it's insane, it's just beyond insane Some people's entire identity is what they you know.
Speaker 2:they put it out on social media. That's it, that's their life. They don't have anything else.
Speaker 1:But I mean so you go get a cheap. I was going to say cheap ass.
Speaker 2:You go get a cheap ass ass.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh, and somehow that does what, I don't even know.
Speaker 2:But okay, here's, here's it allows you to take those, you know, butt first pictures where you're looking backwards, you looking backwards and your ass is looking really good for Instagram. Yeah, that's what it is. That's what it's for.
Speaker 1:Except it's not working. See, that's the thing your face is getting paralyzed, you're getting arrested, you're going to jail with your butt, yeah, and your stitches. Oh God, I know All right. Well, here's.
Speaker 2:Social media has really messed up a lot of people.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's so warped they just were not.
Speaker 2:They're not prepared for you know anything. Any part of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:The consequences of their own actions. For one thing, you know, that's the first thing they're not prepared for.
Speaker 1:Well, also, what's your life? Yeah, what is your life? I mean, there are plenty of people on Instagram that are doing great things, interesting things, clever things, but then there's all this dreck.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, so much garbage.
Speaker 1:What are the lives of these people? I don't. Well, here's another one.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:This one is real. This is big on TikTok and I don't. Tiktok is not someplace where I spend any time. I do see some TikTok videos occasionally that people send me, but this is pretty much the most messed up thing I have ever heard. This way outstrips the butt lift on the run. The butt lift on the run.
Speaker 2:People are implanting tiny gems into the whites of their eyes. Oh my god, and it's eyes.
Speaker 1:Eyes sparkle, studs. So, needless to say, doctors are warning of infection, inflammation and blindness. Idiots, blindness, wow. And you know nothing says. I make great life choices, like letting someone take a scalpel to your sclera in a van behind Sephora or wherever the hell they're doing this down by the river. Can you imagine?
Speaker 2:No, can you imagine?
Speaker 1:I can, because I have to get injections in my eyes. Yes, I can, because I have to get injections in my eyes.
Speaker 2:Yes, every eight weeks You've experienced that they would have to hold me down with like three people. I'm telling you just to make that happen for me.
Speaker 1:Oh, but then I mean the thing about this is, having it done is nothing compared to what it's going to feel like once it's done, yeah. You're going to be in agony, I anyway.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, that's insane.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I thought you would like that one, the old.
Speaker 2:That's so.
Speaker 1:That's weirder than the donut injections in your head oh and yeah, but that and again, that's temporary and it doesn't hurt no, no this this is agony and you could lose your eyesight yeah, that's just but the agony of this. I mean, I know what it feels like to have the finest little needle very quickly put into the white of your eye.
Speaker 2:I know what that feels like well, how about just the tiniest little piece of dust? We all know what that's like. Right, tiniest little piece of dust gets in your eye and if you you don't get it out, you're miserable for a long time, until you do.
Speaker 1:Well, I think people don't realize that even a tiny little CZ or diamond or whatever the hell it is, no matter how tiny it is in your eye yeah Well, I mean, what's the? It's gargantuan in your eye. Yeah Well, I mean, what's the?
Speaker 2:It's gargantuan in your eye.
Speaker 1:Yeah, gargantuan, I was thinking about that Bible thing, about something in your eye.
Speaker 2:Oh, a moat.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know. Anyway, there I go, getting all Bible again.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, let's move on. So there's a thing at Sonic, Okay.
Speaker 2:This is the fast food joint. Yeah, okay, I've never been to a Sonic. I.
Speaker 1:This is the fast food joint yeah, okay. I've never been to a Sonic. I haven't either. Well, we need to go.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Because I think we need to try this.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And I remember seeing this last year and it was brought back for this summer and it's a pickle slushie.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I would like to try that.
Speaker 1:And it's Now. I saw one of my Boston guys that screams at the weather and at everything every day and he's always. Every day he does his How's my Iced Coffee today.
Speaker 2:Wait, this is a Grillo pickle slushie.
Speaker 1:Oh, it is, yes, you looked it up.
Speaker 2:No, the guy on the Instagram was talking about that, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, did I send you that video?
Speaker 2:I probably did.
Speaker 1:I think you did yeah, well, he went, he got it, of course it's bright green did. Yeah, well, he went, he got it, Of course it's bright green. This thing, and he was kind of cringing and he didn't want it. But he finally takes a sip of it and he goes, it tastes like pickles. But then he went back in for another sip and said, well, it's bracing, it's salty, sour, and then, but then of course it's really sweet.
Speaker 1:I mean, this thing is like any slushy anywhere, mostly sugar yeah, 67 percent sugar, right, and like tastes like kind of like Gatorade and you got pickles in my Gatorade. You got right. Yeah, you got that kind of situation. Yeah, so I feel like you know we got to go and try the liquid blossom. Yeah, no, it sounds like a good one, yeah, and it's Grillo, so it's spicy, yeah, which for some reason makes it sound better to me. Mm-hmm, I don't know. Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, those are my favorite pickles.
Speaker 1:Grillo pickles. Yeah, I know Theyilla pickles. Yeah, I know they're fantastic. They're fantastic, you are. Thank you. That's very kind of you. Tell me what the what's the educational?
Speaker 2:You want to get educated? Yeah, okay, you know, we've seen you and I have seen a video of a man sleeping at night snuggling with a cheetah. He's on a little cot and he's got a blanket and this cheetah comes up and flops on him and he throws the blanket over him, wraps his arm around the cheetah and while he's laying there, two more come up and kind of flop down on both of them and they're all going to go to sleep in a pile. I saw a thing the other day about a photographer who was out in the desert in the veldt, and he took a nap and he woke up and there's a cheetah lying on his shoulder asleep with him.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, and I got to wondering about this and I'm like what is it? Why is that? Cheetahs do not attack humans? They just don't Because they don't see us as food and they also don't see us as a threat. Cheetahs will come up to almost any human and say, hey, what's going on? Because they're just like house cats, basically, they also cannot roar. They meow like a cat.
Speaker 1:Meow.
Speaker 2:That's a cheetah. I just did a perfect cheetah right there. Really Meow, yes, and they purr. And lions don't purr, tigers don't purr. They have that really big rumble in their voice because they have an extra in their vocal cords that cheetahs do not, which is why cheetahs can't roar.
Speaker 1:So they just say meow.
Speaker 2:So they say meow, yeah, they sound like big cats, that is so cute. Yeah, and if you have one and you've raised one, what like with a dog? You know growing up they're gonna act like they're a dog. They're just they did. They just aren't upset by anybody well, that's what we learned today. Isn't that the greatest thing About cheetahs? Yeah, Wow. Cheetahs are very, very chill.
Speaker 1:Well, the Ann Levine show brings it to you again. Yeah, that's adorable.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so if you are out in the desert, you might get approached, and there is absolutely no reason to be upset at that. He's just going to come say hi.
Speaker 1:Hard to imagine not having a reaction.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:To some massive cat coming towards you, especially if it's going.
Speaker 2:yes, See, that's the thing, though, with the cheetah. They aren't massive, right? No, they're big, but they don't have muscles like lions and tigers do.
Speaker 1:They're just built strictly for speed, which is why, understood, I still think that you might not be tempted to go up and scratch it behind the ears no, of course not right, but uh, it might come up to you and and put its head under your hand to get scratched.
Speaker 2:Wow, yeah, they're just, they're that way, they're that way.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They're like oh, someone out here to investigate, let's go look. It's very cool. I want to play with a cheetah.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, I'll put that on the list for Santa.
Speaker 2:Okay, thank you. Well we did that the other day. By the way, we wrote lists to Santa. Did we talk about that?
Speaker 1:No, that was. My five-year-old niece was here for a visit and before she went to bed she gave us all post-its, post-it notes, and told us to write letters to Santa that she could read in the morning. Which we all dutifully did. Yeah, and yours said a blue moose.
Speaker 2:A blue moose.
Speaker 1:That. That's what you wanted, yeah, wanted, yeah. And mine said I have four sets of dishes, each with places for 12, and I want to give them to you this year, yeah so well we do have. We have a lot of china from your mom and, oh my god, it's beautiful, it's beautiful and it cost a fortune when she bought it and you literally can't give it away.
Speaker 2:You can't give it away now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, I know If it didn't cost so much to ship.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah Shipping, it is insane.
Speaker 1:Yep. Well, just to wrap up my my oh, yeah, yeah, yeah my pickle right, your pickle slushy my pickle chat. There's now a hard pickle seltzer, you know. Oh, one of those hard drinks right, yeah and um. So there's a pickle one. It's a craft brewer in texas okay dill pickle hard seltzer now, that sounds pretty good it actually does and some people are saying it's the perfect hangover cure. Well, yeah, because booze hair of the dog it's yeah, yeah um, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I think yeah, I think alcohol goes with that whole pickle kind of thing. So that's good.
Speaker 1:I like that. Well, the only thing I don't know about is the carbonation.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know like carbonated brine.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know it would be very weird, but I would try it. Sure, why not? I love celery. Yes, you do Celery soda.
Speaker 1:Yes, but that's soda.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So like the Sonic Pickle Slushy sounds okay, like carbonated, I don't know. I just think like when your pickle brine is carbonated you know your pickles have gone bad.
Speaker 2:That is true. You know what that may have messed with your brain. Like that You're right. That's true. You bite a pickle and you get that little tingle on it and you're like oh, this thing's gone. Bad yeah, yep.
Speaker 1:Good point, that's my point. All right. Now, speaking of idiots on TikTok, here's one of my favorite things I have ever heard. Okay, there's a woman out there who did a $300 juice cleanse. Now I don't understand what those three words mean together. Okay, yeah, I know what a juice cleanse is and I know what $300 is.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But how? Is a cleanse whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Unless you go somewhere. Anyway, she said it cleared ancestral trauma.
Speaker 2:It did.
Speaker 1:And gave her the sudden ability to understand and speak fluent Italian Ha.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:I love that. That is hilarious. Really yes, and I want that.
Speaker 2:I want some of that.
Speaker 1:Well, that's how I want to become fluent and that's how I want to get my next language is by doing a $300 juice cleanse. You know, I've got a few languages under my belt, but fluent Italian from juice, from a cleanse. Now I had a crazy thing happen.
Speaker 2:Have you learned Italian from juice? Yeah, it wasn't clean.
Speaker 1:What wasn't the juice?
Speaker 2:There was something very bad in that to make that happen.
Speaker 1:Well, like what?
Speaker 2:Something that can rewire your brain. You don't want to drink that stuff.
Speaker 1:Oh, I don't know. I mean, it depends how, if you can determine I don't know, I don't know. You know, that's that old. It's not really a joke, but it's actually a reality, which is that if everyone in a group could put all their problems in a suitcase and throw it in the middle of the room and you could pick someone else's suitcase up, you wouldn't. You'd end up taking your own back.
Speaker 2:I see.
Speaker 1:And that's true, you know, if you really think about it. Do you want? Why Right?
Speaker 2:No, I, I, I agree with you because the, uh, the unknown is worse than the you know. The devil you don't know is worse than the devil you know.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Precisely so All right, so yesterday I was texting with ChatGPT about Nantucket day trips, because we have people coming to stay with us, and they were asking about Nantucket and if it's doable without breaking the bank yeah, which essentially it's not. I mean the least expensive sort of. There aren't really motels on Nantucket, right, everything's an inn or whatever.
Speaker 1:Right the least expensive room that you can book right now for midweek on Nantucket is $600. Okay, okay, a night. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, right now for midweek on nantucket is six hundred dollars. Okay, okay, a night. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, midweek, yeah, so I'm not. I'm not making that up. I looked it up too yesterday and I asked a friend of mine today who goes there all the time and she looked up the places she knows and, yeah, that's what we came up with as the lowest prices.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for a midweek room Right, that's great.
Speaker 1:But anyway, then I got in the pool and I did a little pool jog, a little jogging in the pool, yeah, and I got out and I said Michael had come up there and I said, oh hey, I'm just. I was kind of out of breath and I said I'm just getting out of the pool, I was jogging and I hear coming from my phone this woman's voice. That's great that you were just jogging in the pool, that's really good for you. And also you were asking about the prices of rooms. I'm like what?
Speaker 2:is happening.
Speaker 1:And I go over and somehow ChatGPT is having a conversation with me.
Speaker 2:Right has decided we're not texting anymore. Since you're not texting me back, I'm going to talk to you out loud.
Speaker 1:I'm going to speak to you out loud yeah. And recap. Just give you confirm what you just said and remind you what we were, what you had texted me about. I mean, you know what you had asked me about. Asked me about before you got up to get in the pool. So this is like after 20 minutes.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it totally freaks me out, so weird, I was there for that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when she started speaking, yeah.
Speaker 1:It was you that I was saying, I just was jogging to, and she responded she, whatever. The female voice, the chat GPT. Very, very weird but trained on historical texts, refused to answer modern questions and insists on being addressed as Lord Peregrine of Wessex.
Speaker 2:The AI says you must address me as as yes.
Speaker 1:So if you say you know, hey, chad chippy t, it says, thou shalt address me as lord peregrine of wessex that funny. And it started writing love letters in iambic pentameter.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, to whom?
Speaker 1:Like like uh Chachi PT. Whom? Whom were they talking to yesterday?
Speaker 2:Well they were. They were trying to talk to you. They assumed they thought they were talking to you. What?
Speaker 1:made them suddenly literally speak to me. Yeah. I don't um but anyway I gotta roll, jones well, lord peregrine of waxes demands to know, is writing these love letters, and then demanded to know why everyone is wearing clothes of the peasants, which I, I agree. I second that question.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, they are wearing clothes of the peasants.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, really expensive ones. Oh my God, yeah the towels.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the towels. Yeah, the $900 towel. Come on, two buttons, adjustable belt.
Speaker 1:I keep seeing more speaking of Bal balenciaga, more crazy stuff from their runway shows, and I gotta say that this one that was sent to me recently and I don't know. You don't know anymore what's ai, what's real or what's just someone goofing around? I don't know anymore what's AI, what's real or what's just someone goofing around. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But I got sent a clip of one of their runway moments where they sent down a woman with severe Parkinson's.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And so her head was shaking uncontrollably.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Uncontrollable tremors and it was an absolute. And they show her walking past Anna Wintour. Now, whether or not this is true, I don't know. I thought it was. I don't know what. I think. I guess if you want to do that, you know okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm not against it on principle, but it was disturbing, very disturbing. But it was disturbing, very disturbing, and I don't know what the hell that company is doing, but I hate them. Balenciaga, I hate you, I hate your moto bag yeah yeah, and I hate your towel.
Speaker 2:Okay, your towel is ridiculous, all right.
Speaker 1:It's stupid. I've got a couple of wedding stories, oh, all right, do I have time? You have a little bit of time, all right? First of all, a Brazilian woman recently made headlines, and I guess making headlines is what the world is about now. Yeah, that's what they want For marrying a rag doll named Marcelo. Oh, okay, and they just renewed their vows after claiming he cheated on her. Now, these are headlines and she's raising their quote child, which is a smaller rag doll, and doing full-on wedding reenactments.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, and she insists that the relationship is emotionally fulfilling.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean we've talked about a guy who's married a ghost. Oh right, right, right, right, yeah, someone else is someone who's married a blow-up doll, someone who's. I think we know someone who's married a boat. What, yeah, I mean, it's just, they're just ridiculous. Someone married a boat. Yeah, I think so yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, well, that one I hadn't heard. Well, here's another wedding story. There are two of these.
Speaker 2:Two boats.
Speaker 1:Two of these wedding stories that are almost identical, but one of them took place in Hyannis, right here, mid-cape the hub man, the airport, a couple doing beach wedding photos this pose where the groom is holding the ring to put on the bride's hand and a seagull swooped in and grabbed it yeah so, and I think, those guys are surgical on right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, they are, they are can you imagine if he had been trying to feed her a french fry? Oh my god, no no, she would have lost her lips yeah or she would have been, yeah, headed to florida to have some kind of I of van repair.
Speaker 2:I fed a lot of french fries to the seagulls and I know they are accurate as can be.
Speaker 1:Oh, accurate and deadly.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Three days later, a tourist from Michigan found the ring in her cooler bag.
Speaker 2:Oh no.
Speaker 1:So clearly this seagull was not amused.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah.
Speaker 1:Thought it was going to get a salty snack.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:And instead got this pah pah Stupid ring. Stupid ring.
Speaker 2:Can't eat that.
Speaker 1:Nope.
Speaker 2:Useless.
Speaker 1:Yeah said oh, here's a tourist from Michigan. You know, get out of town.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, go back to your own country.
Speaker 1:Oh my God. Yeah, these are federally trained ice seagulls. Go back to your own country of God. Yeah, these are federally trained ice seagulls.
Speaker 2:Go back to your own country of Michigan.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, so yeah, Wow, and this happened also in Canada in Ontario.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:Where there was a similar situation going, except this was during the ceremony an outdoor ceremony.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:And there's a moment when the ring is about to be put up. You know where the groom's holding the ring and saying with this ring, I the whatever, yeah, and a goose flew by and grabbed it, which you know.
Speaker 2:That is awesome.
Speaker 1:I love, I want a photo of that moment where the goose flies in and grabs the ring, when the goose flies in and grabs the ring, and it's that moment where the bride, the groom and the officiant and whoever it is has no clue what just happened. Ah, Just that split second, yeah.
Speaker 2:I want a photo of that. I'm the guy who likes it. The very split second they realize what is going on, because the confusion and the terror and the you know everything that is going on when they realize nature has turned on them is just so much fun right.
Speaker 1:Well, either one yeah, oh no it's all great.
Speaker 2:I I love to see videos like that. That is, I love it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I want. Those birds are a blast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I want more of those. We have a lot of gulls around here a lot of herring gulls.
Speaker 1:Those guys are nuts, and this goose actually had to chase the groom.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So and honked over the I mean totally took over.
Speaker 2:That's right. This wedding, you are in my way.
Speaker 1:So that's right, this wedding, you are in my way. So this whole thing, we've talked about this before, but I just this lip thing, the lip, the lip thing, everyone getting their lips blown up.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, all these women who are doing this and somehow thinking. I've heard psychiatrists and dermatologists and various people talking about what this is, because lip fillers and whatever else they're using also don't last forever. Yeah, it wears off, and if you get these procedures done when they're first done, there's swelling, right, yeah, and so for about a week or, I don't know, 10 days. Right, they're extra poofy.
Speaker 2:They're extra.
Speaker 1:And once they start to de-puff, these people freak out yeah, and then, as time goes on, I mean there are people who get them done and two weeks later want to touch up.
Speaker 2:That's just nuts.
Speaker 1:And needless to say— I don't understand why any of that happens.
Speaker 2:I really don't.
Speaker 1:I don't either. I don't understand what these people think. They look like, right, they look horrible and ridiculous, and there's another part of this. So they have these, you have these women with these massive lip fillers, and what's going to happen ultimately is, if you do this for long enough and then you stop, then you're going to have lips that were so stretched out.
Speaker 2:Yep, you're going to have like wrinkly. Going to look like a piano keyboard going across your top lip 88 keys.
Speaker 1:You mean because your teeth are going to show.
Speaker 2:No, all those wrinkles from it, oh yeah, yeah, it's just going to show, no, all those wrinkles from it. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's just going to be. You're going to have like rubberly lips, that too. But here's the other thing that happens when you have this done your lips are pretty much paralyzed. So you know, smiling, frowning, it's the same thing that happens when people freeze their foreheads.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Your ability to do certain things but, not just emote your ability to drink.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1:From bottles, cans and straws becomes impossible.
Speaker 2:And forget playing a harmonica.
Speaker 1:Well, that I mean, you know how many careers have ended.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And kazoo careers. I know it's horrible Over Over. Puffy lips Over have ended, yeah, and kazoo careers. I know it's horrible Over.
Speaker 2:Over puffy lips.
Speaker 1:Over Yep. Yeah, so people are making PSA videos with tips like don't drink kombucha in public.
Speaker 2:Oh, if your lips are like this yes, oh, my God, that is so funny.
Speaker 1:Exactly. And then they show warning videos of people with major lip filler.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, that's. I've got to see that. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1:Oh, just yeah, Look them up, look them up on TikTok, how do you drink anything?
Speaker 2:I mean, oh my God, look them up, look them up on tiktok. How do?
Speaker 1:you drink anything, I mean, oh my god, you have to kind of open your mouth and pour something in yeah, yeah wow, okay, I guess I.
Speaker 2:I guess I do know how to do that, because after having like gum surgery or something like that, you know you can't drink out of anything. You have to. You have to learn how to pour it in because your lips aren't moving.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's the worst, yeah, the worst, the worst, the worst.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they're paying to have this happen to them.
Speaker 1:I know, I know and here's the part that's just mind-blowing is that it doesn't look good. I mean, the whole thing you're trying to achieve is, you know, even if you say, oh, I don't care if I'm gonna have to pour liquid into my mouth because anything for beauty yeah well, you're not getting beauty, you're getting insane, you're getting you look like a cartoon, you look horrible you know?
Speaker 2:um yeah, angelina jolie has famously said of herself that she looks like a deranged muppet, mm-hmm. But that's her natural look, right, those lips there. That's what her lips look like and that's what all these women are trying to achieve.
Speaker 1:And you want to look like a deranged Muppet, but her lips aren't close to what these people are doing and what they want to do.
Speaker 2:That's their starting point, though, is what I'm saying. Yeah, make me Angelina and then we go from there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, they look insane. I don't know what else to. And it's 20-year-olds, I know, and younger.
Speaker 2:I know doing this stuff. It's just so absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1:That whole duck face thing is just crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1:So we have to do some of these. Look at some of these PSAs.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I want to see these people with you.
Speaker 2:know their liquids, yeah yeah, that's right, a kombucha drinking contest.
Speaker 1:Well, speaking of things being interrupted by animals, this is one of my favorite things that I've ever heard.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So this outdoes the seagull and the goose by a million whatevers At a UK aquarium. Okay, an octopus has developed the habit of hurling crabs and shells at people and it has perfect, impeccable aim.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:The staff call it Brian Brian Yep I love it so brian is throwing brian the octopus yeah at people visiting them in the aquarium and getting a huge kick out of their reaction. Well, brian's like you know what I've had it? Don't look at me. Here's a crab in your face. Yeah right, it's alive.
Speaker 2:Enjoy that. I'm done with you.
Speaker 1:Thank you for coming.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my name is Brian. I'll be here until I die. Have a crab.
Speaker 1:Ugh, incredible.
Speaker 2:Yeah, wow, yep. Well, good for him. I am very happy to hear that Octopuses are amazing critters.
Speaker 1:They really are. They're brilliant.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they might actually be aliens, you know.
Speaker 1:Well, you say that. Yeah, you say that now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they might be, yeah, they might be.
Speaker 1:Who knows?
Speaker 2:Because they don't look like they're from around here.
Speaker 1:Seagulls are probably aliens.
Speaker 2:Oh, good point.
Speaker 1:All right, now here's one of my favorite things, oh.
Speaker 2:All right, is this one of your favorite things?
Speaker 1:Well, it is actually. This is Jacob Moon, yeah, who will be in my house tomorrow. Who will be in my house tomorrow Under a Setting Sun. This is too beautiful, all right, under a Setting Sun From the album Under a Setting Sun. Sun from the album Under a Setting Sun. And I'd like to mention that Daniela Gilboa, who's an Israeli soldier that was kidnapped by Hamas. On and during her abduction she was shot in the ankle and that bullet was there during her captivity and just last week, on July 11th, she had successful surgery and the bullet was finally removed and she called it one of the happiest days of her life. So, for Daniela Gilboa, amisha Berach put a light on.
