0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of the old Republic, a sol fastion of fairness. He

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.400

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>this the third day of February. Just a lazy Saturday,

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>hanging out and Danny, you're back to celebrate the weekend

0:00:55.200 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>which is upon us. Here. I think he's pleased. Talked

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>about the term safe harbor, which indirectly came from George

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Carlin because of his rant of these seven words you

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>can't say on television and radio, and so that was

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>that was interesting, and actually a listener recommended that, So

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that was that was kind of cool. Now, as you

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>are aware, we like to look at dopey holidays every day.

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday was Groundhog's Day, which is not a dopey holiday.

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>That is a legitimate holiday. That's a fun holiday. Groundhogs

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Day today? You don't. You don't have that big Groundhog's

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Day thing. There's no, there's no big groundhogs Day. It's

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>our insurance day. Does anyone like our insurance?

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Also saw that it's a National noodle Day?

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Is it? Now? I'm a fan of the noodles.

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I don't mind. I don't go out of

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>my way to eat noodles.

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 3>But good because I made that up. Just wanted to

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>see if you'd bite.

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, why not?

0:01:58.840 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 3>It is?

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Uh? Well, I you know, I bet there is a

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>national noodle Day.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 3>I think. I'm sure.

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's a There's a day for everything? Is so?

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 1>What other dope you high? It's Elmo's birthday today. They're

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>very controversial.

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 4>Muppet baby CoA has recently found Elmo on the TV

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 4>and he laughs and giggles every time he sees him,

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:23.959
<v Speaker 4>and some of the songs aren't too shabby.

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Man. It gave me and my wife a break from

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 3>that horrible miss Rachel Lady.

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Yea. Elmo's polarizing though, because there's a lot of kids

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that hate Elmo and they they load Elmo. It's either

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>you're you're either love him or you hate him. That

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>is kind of hat h on this pod. You gotta

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>you gotta have moxie. Just grab dessert, we'll see what

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you got, the word of the week, whatever else pops up.

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>But I wanted to start with this. So a couple

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.119
<v Speaker 1>weeks back, I think it's been about a month, give

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>or take about a month, maybe maybe a little more

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>than that. We we lost at the Malor Mansion, our

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:11.839
<v Speaker 1>beloved Bella. Bella checked out. Bella had been very sick

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. At Bella my dog. Uh, we

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>talked about bell Bella would sit in the studio during

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>COVID and sit next to me while I did the show.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 1>That was the studio audience was my dog, Bella and

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>love bell. Bella just got old and things happened, and

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.679
<v Speaker 1>she just had doggy dyslexia and things like dementia, I

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>should dementia, and so she had problems.

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, when did she write a paper

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 3>for you?

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, she'd write the monologues. But anyway, so

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>we we had to do the adult thing, do the

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>right thing, and and send Bella off to the Great

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Kennel in the sky and so we were bummed out

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and depressed and all that. And because Bella had been

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>with us a long time, we loved Bella Bella. There's

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>some famous stories Bella running away on the fourth of

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>July as I was leaving to go to the radio

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>station years ago.

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 3>I remember that one.

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Bella ran I chased after she ran through somebody's backyard.

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I told my wife, Bella's gone. I gotta go to work.

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 1>She's gone. But we were able to get her back

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and then got eaten by a coyote. What that was?

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>That was crazy. That was in the middle of the night,

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>went out to go to the bathroom, go to check

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>on her, and she's got a big piece of her

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 1>shock bitten out of her from a coyote, which I

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>guess spit her out. Didn't didn't like to taste, Yea.

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>But Bella finally checked out and so we sent her away.

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 1>And but we we would like to make the formal announcement, Danny,

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 1>that the next generation in the Malor Mansion has arrived

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>here as double your Pleasure, Double your Fun. There was

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>this great debate about what to do. Do we get

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a dop ganger of Bella? Do we recreate the Bella

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>magic like what do we do? Like, which direction do

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>we go? And so we were looking at Shitsuo's and

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>we were just like, you know, we wanted to get

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>a rescue type dog situation. Want to buy a brand

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>spanking new dog. I thought we'd give a dog a

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>new life, second opportunity. Why not. So we were looking around,

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>scouring the interweb, and then we started looking at some

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.239
<v Speaker 1>other dogs just to kind of see what was out there.

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>And we were debating which direction to go. I was like, well,

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't want a dog that barks. They can't have

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>a barking dog. So that's a problem because I do

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the show from the home studio, so that's an issue.

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 1>So we were going back and forth and trying to

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 1>figure out what.

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:50.159
<v Speaker 5>We wanted to do, and then we found the dog,

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:56.280
<v Speaker 5>the dog which we picked up and can now make

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 5>the formal announcement.

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the robot dog from the Jetsons.

0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Is one hundred percent correct, Danny, We actually got a

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>robot dog. It's not we don't have to feed it,

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't piss, it doesn't shit, it's wonderful. No, we

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>have picked up our dog, Moxie, who now Moxie you're

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>probably wonder what kind of dog is that? What kind

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of dog? This is the dog that I have wanted

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>my entire life, but I have never never gone out

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and gotten I've had a lot of different dogs since

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid. My mom always had dogs at

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 1>the house when were growing up, and from my little

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>dog Oliver when I was a kid, all the way

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>up through all the different dogs we've had, and then

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 1>as an adult, I've always not always. When I was

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 1>a bachelor, I did not have a dog, but I

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of thought I did because my mom. I visit

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>my mom all the time. She had dogs, so I

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of consider that like my dog. But the dog

0:06:52.360 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>we have now is a wrinkly faced, overweight but muscular bulldog,

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>an English bulldog, and the only person that knows outside

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>of the family Danny, is Karen k. I reached out

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to kk Now, if you're new to the show, I

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>haven't listen that long Karen Kay. I did the show

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>with Karen k for a years. She was she was

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 1>with Fox Sports Radio, and I've known Keren a long

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>time and.

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 3>She used to bring her two big bruisers into the

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 3>studio with her.

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Karen always had bulldogs and she loved the bulldogs.

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And I loved looking at the bulldogs and admired the bulldogs,

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>but I never had a bulldog, and so I wanted

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>her to know before anybody. I was like, Karen, I

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>got this bulldog and it's a girly dog named Moxie.

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>And loved the dog, absolutely loved the dog. The dog's great,

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>But there are some things about bulldogs that are unlike

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>any other dog that I've had, and I think you

0:07:54.200 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>probably know what those are, Danny, But oh yeah, I

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>have named Moxie Old Faithful. And the reason I have

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>named Moxie old Faithful is because around every twenty minutes

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>she just lets it rip with flatulets. There's a lot

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 1>of even when she's sleeping, she's just farting. And these

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>She's bulldogs are about fifty pounds or whatever, give or take,

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and so yeah, it's a decent sized fart and the

0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>smell I have to leave a fan on.

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh they are known as fart machines.

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but they're so damn cute. There's no way to

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>take a bad picture. I'll put some photos up of

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Moxie today. And I was studying the English bulldog. I

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 1>was curious, what's the history of linguist bulldog and all

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 1>this stuff? And I did not know. I did not

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>realize that the origins they were bred to fight bulls.

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>How crazy is that they were? It was bull baiting.

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.839
<v Speaker 1>It was a blood sport in the UK goes back

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>to the twelve hundreds and it was only banned in

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>the eighteen thirties, so for six hundred plus years bulldogs

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>were specifically bred to have a violent encounter. They would

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>they would kind of creep up low to the ground,

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and the way it works from what I read online,

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>as I understand it, they would bite the bull or

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>sometimes bears or horses nose and then would hold on

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>for dear life. They just grab a hold and you know,

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 1>they'd be thrown in the air by the bull or

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the bear or the horse or whatever, and a lot

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of the animals suffered big time injury.

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Even humans at this would die because the bull would

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 1>go flying into the crowd of spectators. And that, you know,

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a blood sport. So that's I had no idea

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that was did you eat? No, I had no idea

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>that was a sport.

0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 3>I'd no, no, I didn't know that either.

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but Maxie does love playing fetch. That must be

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>in her genetics from back to the you know, twelve

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>hundreds where she just can't get enough of it. And

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>she does like to latch onto things and not let go,

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>which is a slight problem sometimes.

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 3>But did you see photos or meet her parents? Do

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 3>you know how large she will get?

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, she is a rescue, so it's rare to get

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>an English bulldog and a rescue. She had been breeding,

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:28.959
<v Speaker 1>she'd been used for breeding and then she was she's

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 1>about four years old. Now. The thing that kind of

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>scares me a little bit, Danny, is bulldogs don't live

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>that long. Like they only almost been there, like eight

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to ten years, So she's not gonna be around that long.

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>We know that going in. But she's a great dog

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's been really cool, and she's kind of getting

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.439
<v Speaker 1>potty trained. She had lost her way potty training wise

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. But so far we've had her

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>for a little bit. I wanted to make sure everything

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 1>was good before we made the announcement, and so she's great.

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I get up in the afternoon, I'll take Moxie out

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>to get busy and go to the bathroom and all that,

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.439
<v Speaker 1>and then she'll lay down next to me. I've got

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 1>my laptop up and I'm getting ready for the show,

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.319
<v Speaker 1>and she'll are watching games or whatever. She'll just lay down,

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>just fart every twenty five minutes or thirty minutes or whatever,

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>like old faithful and no problem, just slobber all over

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the place and then congratulations. But I said, double your pleasure,

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>double your fun, Danny, because not only did we get Moxie,

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>but wait, there's more. We also picked up This is

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>a desert runaway dog, a buddy my right hand man,

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>found out out in the desert roaming around the desert.

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>And this dog, which is also now part of the

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Malor Mansion, named Luigi, that is a we had a

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>little test done, Danny. It is a pug mixed with

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 1>a French bulldog. Oh okay, they call that a frog

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>bello so legendary. You had to replace her with two

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>different dogs exactly. Well, we were only planning one, but

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>we ended up with two. But this is a French

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>bulldog pug mix, which I didn't even know was a thing.

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.439
<v Speaker 1>It looks like a pug, but it's a lot bigger

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>than a pug because it's got the French bulldog in

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 1>it's called a frog and I didn't even know what

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that was. I didn't even know that was a thing.

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea.

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 4>Had you could just put out feelers and you got

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.439
<v Speaker 4>back one too many good options, so you got.

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 1>To no, no, my guy. This dog actually was wandering

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>around literally a stray dog, and picked it up and

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>put it on your put on the internet. We found

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 1>this dog for a while, nobody responded to it, and

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>so then the dog became property of the and then

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>we became owners of said said dogff.

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 3>Earf and neither are barking, So that's cool.

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, so far, so good. Although Moxie, well we've

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>had a few people over to the house and sometimes Moxie,

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 1>if she doesn't know you, she'll kind of grab onto

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 1>your shoes and kind of like like you know, hold

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>on to them for a little bit, which is which

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 1>is an issue. So the FuG, as it is called,

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the frog frog frog is named Luigi. So we have

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Moxie and Luigi, and like I said, I'll put some

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>photos up and so you guys you can see if

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you're interested in that on Instagram and the show Facebook page.

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.319
<v Speaker 1>At some point today on Saturday, I'll put those up.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>You know what you can do is you can just

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:55.959
<v Speaker 1>grab a dessert and you can just look at the

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:57.719
<v Speaker 1>photos there. You just grab assert and look at the

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>photos of Moxie and Louis have a grand time.

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 4>I know that you especially will enjoy this because you

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 4>are a Costco man.

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:08.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 4>It's not common that the wife and I will go

0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 4>to Costco on the weekend, especially having a six month old,

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 4>it's not easy to shop. So usually, you know, I'll

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 4>be babysitting Coha and the wife will go to Costco

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 4>for a quick run, or we'll have them deliver, which

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 4>is nice except a little expensive.

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 3>But this past weekend we're like, you know, let's just

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 3>go in to grab.

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 4>A dessert snacks because we were going to go to

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Rich Davis's house the following day for a championship weekend

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 4>little football get together. I told my wife going in,

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 4>because she's like, oh no, this is just like when

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 4>I walk into Target for one thing, and I said, no, no, no,

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm here as your conscience.

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 3>We're just going to grab a dessert, that's it.

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 4>So we get to the checkout, she pulls up her

0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 4>Costco card on her phone, how much do you think

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 4>the final bill was.

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I have not been able to go to Costco and

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>walk out for got less than like one hundred bucks

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 1>in I can't remember, so I'm gonna say around one

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks, I'm.

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 3>To say, And that's a really good guess.

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because just the groceries along with the dessert were

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 4>ninety three dollars ninety But she also had on one

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 4>of those flatbed roller things, a seven hundred dollars mattress.

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 4>What yeah, now it was on sale. It was a

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 4>couple hundred dollars off, which was nice. But we've been

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 4>looking for a mattress. We happen to be in that

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 4>aisle and she's like, oh my god, look at this sale.

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 4>We're never going to find one this nice, you know,

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 4>for this much off. We got to get this right now.

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, I thought we were in here for

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 4>a dessert to bring to rich Davis's house.

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to toot and fifty cent chocolate chip cookie.

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I did not a seven hundred dollars matt.

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 4>With a five ninety nine loaf of banana nut bread right. Instead,

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 4>our final bill was I don't know, five hundred for

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 4>the mattress one hundred for the groceries. So our final

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 4>bill was roughly six hundred dollars and we were supposed

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 4>to go in for something that was six dollars. Now,

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 4>when we told this to the guy who was wheeling

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 4>the big mattress on one of those flat carts, he

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 4>looked at us and he said, that's the most costco

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 4>thing I've heard all day.

0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, that's that's about right. And that reminds me

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>of I think his listener, Blake, who listens to this podcast.

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I hope he's hearing this. One Blake in Arkansas who

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 1>he's the guy Danny that opened up the Amazon Clearance

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>store where they'd buy trucks of returned items to Amazon

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and sell them for like ten bush.

0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So he moved into the mattress space. He moved

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:08.200
<v Speaker 1>into the mattress space a while back, and he told

0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 1>me that there's so much money in mattresses. He said

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>it should be illegal, is what he said. He said

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>that the mattress warehouse places will buy wholesale mattresses for

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he said one hundred or two hundred dollars

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:30.159
<v Speaker 1>per mattress and then sell them for five six, seven, eight, whatever,

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 1>it might be one thousand dollars a mattress. And so

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.600
<v Speaker 1>he was like, yeah, he's like this is this is

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>crazy because us commoners, Dan, he can't pay one hundred

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.719
<v Speaker 1>bucks for a mattress, right, we have to buy it

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.919
<v Speaker 1>at the price which is five hundred plus or whatever

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 1>or more for the mattress. But I think that makes

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 1>sense because the most famous person to sell mattresses is

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:57.239
<v Speaker 1>that guy in Houston, Mattress Mac. He's the guy that

0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>makes the multimillion dollar bets every year.

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 3>And oh he's a he is loaded.

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's worth millions and millions from selling mattresses. And

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 1>now we know how he is worth millions and millions

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:15.480
<v Speaker 1>selling mattresses because of that. But yeah, that guy Blake.

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Blake can send us an email let us know

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 1>more about how the mattress mattress hustle works. But is

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>it a good mattress? You knoww does your wife like

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.679
<v Speaker 1>a firm mattress a soft mattress somewhere in the middle.

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 4>Somewhere in the middle, which is where the box showed

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 4>this one being at. Okay, and we're gonna have to

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 4>take the box's word for it for now. Because as

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 4>of taping this with you, we have not yet removed

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 4>the old mattress and brought in the new one. I've

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 4>been waiting for her oldest to come home, eat a

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.480
<v Speaker 4>whole bunch of food from our kitchen, and then help

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:51.680
<v Speaker 4>me with the mattresses.

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.159
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha, gotcha? All right? And the good thing about Costco

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>is if you don't like it, you can always take

0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:58.359
<v Speaker 1>it back.

0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 4>Do you under stand what you just said? Was her

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.679
<v Speaker 4>final selling point to me. Aha, She was trying to

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:09.119
<v Speaker 4>convince me to buy said mattress. This is the place

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.880
<v Speaker 4>to get one, because if we don't like how.

0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 3>It feels, we could just bring it right back.

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which will be very easy to load that into

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the car and just drive it on over to the Costco.

0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:21.680
<v Speaker 1>That will not be an inconvenience at all. You will

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.520
<v Speaker 1>not be back out putting that in the car. And

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 1>it's much easier, of course, to put a thing like

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.120
<v Speaker 1>that in the car after you've already taken it out

0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:31.879
<v Speaker 1>and laid it down on the bed and let it

0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:33.200
<v Speaker 1>air out and all that stuff.

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:37.399
<v Speaker 4>Right, you're right about returning it because it's not a

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 4>good sign that it's been sitting in the box in

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:40.399
<v Speaker 4>her car.

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 3>For a week.

0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's been in the car. You just left it

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 1>in the car.

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's in the box in the car for a

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:47.760
<v Speaker 3>week now.

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Huh. Interesting. You know, we'll have a follow up next week.

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 1>We'll have our big Super Bowl weekend next weekend on

0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the fifth hour and more on that. I guess we

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:02.840
<v Speaker 1>can mention that right now. Right the plan is weather permitting,

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 1>we should have fresh podcast. The podcast on Friday will

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 1>be up a little bit later next week because we'll

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.960
<v Speaker 1>be at Radio Row. I'll be hanging out. You'll be

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.920
<v Speaker 1>there all week, but I'll be hanging out with you. Yeah,

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.680
<v Speaker 1>for Friday, I'll be in Vegas at the Radio Row

0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.359
<v Speaker 1>thing doing some interviews. Last year we had Emmett Smith

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.679
<v Speaker 1>on and who is it, the Green Bay Packers guy,

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I forget his name?

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Watson?

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, he was there with us.

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 3>So we had Christian Watson.

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he had a great, great year with Aaron Rodgers

0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:36.400
<v Speaker 1>that year.

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:37.359
<v Speaker 3>D Watt.

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have his great a year this year, but

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 1>that's fine. He was injured some and whatnot. And so

0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>we'll be there time now for the word of the week.

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 1>The word of the week, The word.

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 3>Of the week.

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:58.360
<v Speaker 1>The word is sarcasm something that we dabble in quite

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:04.160
<v Speaker 1>a bit. Sarcasm, that great word, right, it means obviously

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:09.480
<v Speaker 1>sharply ironical, taunt or whatever. But did you know the

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:15.119
<v Speaker 1>word In the sixteenth century, the definition was violence. That's right. Sarcasm,

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:19.359
<v Speaker 1>which originally comes from the Greek word which of a

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 1>similar sound to it. It means to rend, tear away,

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 1>or rip apart flesh was the original meaning of sarcasm,

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:34.640
<v Speaker 1>so slightly violent. And it was decided at some point,

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 1>at some point along the way, that a verbal attack

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>was a better ends to a mean than to make

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.479
<v Speaker 1>a point, rather than rip apart flesh and whatnot, And

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 1>so that is where it turned into sarcasm. It goes

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 1>back to the sixteenth century, the fifteen seventies biting, taunting,

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and then it became a satirical thing over the course

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:05.360
<v Speaker 1>of time to kind of mock and jest and whatnot.

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:09.880
<v Speaker 1>But that's the current meaning. But back in the late

0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:15.439
<v Speaker 1>fifteen hundreds early sixteen hundreds, the word sarcasm originally again

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:19.760
<v Speaker 1>tearing away or ripping apart the flesh, but now it's

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a metaphorical tearing away and ripping apart of the flesh.

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 1>In the the modern, modern perspective. I wanted to get quickly.

0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:32.480
<v Speaker 1>We're not gonna do too much. Pop goes the culture,

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:34.399
<v Speaker 1>but we'll have Ohio, I'll go ahead, Ohio, I'll do

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:50.680
<v Speaker 1>your thing, job job, all right, thanks, Ohio. So here's

0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Danny Pop goes the culture. And since you brought this

0:22:54.000 --> 0:23:00.360
<v Speaker 1>story up with Costco, did you see the TikTok who

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:08.320
<v Speaker 1>went viral this week for returning a sofa to Costco

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 1>that was two years old.

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 4>No, but that does not surprise me, as my older

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 4>brother has returned to TV that was three years old.

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and there's this great debate on the internet. So

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 1>this woman of course documented everything she put it on

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>on the TikTok to get views and go viral and

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 1>gain clout and all that stuff. And sure enough she did.

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 1>And she's like, hey, I've had this for two years

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:36.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's you know, kind of dirty. So we're gonna

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:37.840
<v Speaker 1>load it up and return it to the Costco and

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:39.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm done with it. And she was like, well, they

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:41.639
<v Speaker 1>have the return policy. It's like, but this is the

0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:43.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing. These are the people that take advantage

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of that and then they ruin it for the rest

0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:49.720
<v Speaker 1>of us, Right, It's like the people that are fraudsters

0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:52.120
<v Speaker 1>with insurance, and so everyone's insurance rate goes up because

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 1>there's fraudsters out there, and there's no such thing as

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 1>a free lunch. And you know, it's like it's like

0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the government handing out free money during COVID. Someone's going

0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to have to pay for that, right so someone is

0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 1>everyone else is going to have to pay for that.

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 1>And so you return crap and I can stay I'd

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 1>say within a year, okay, but two years plus it's

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:17.280
<v Speaker 1>si ridiculous. And I was reading that the worst offender,

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the single worst offender, and I may or may not

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:27.359
<v Speaker 1>be guilty of this. The Costcos in Hawaii day that

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis, tourists from the mainland will go

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to Costco when they get to Hawaii. They will buy

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:38.680
<v Speaker 1>all of the beach chairs, all of the umbrellas, they'll

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 1>buy coolers, all of it. They will use all of

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:45.959
<v Speaker 1>it for a week or ten days or two weeks,

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 1>and then on their way back to the Maui airport,

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 1>they will stop buy the Costco and return everything wow, everything, surfboards,

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 1>scoob suits, whatever it might be, all back to Costco.

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:07.639
<v Speaker 1>And that is said to be the single worst. The

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.520
<v Speaker 1>different locations on the Hawaiian Islands are the worst of

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the worst.

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Can you imagine being an employee at one of those locations?

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 1>What a nightmare?

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:17.880
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:20.959
<v Speaker 1>What do they do? I guess they factor that in, right,

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a certain percentage of products that get returned. They

0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:25.200
<v Speaker 1>know that going in. That's just kind of the way

0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:26.679
<v Speaker 1>that it works.

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:30.720
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, so people basically treat them as if they're

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 3>a rental place.

0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, pretty much, that's the way it goes. What else

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:40.600
<v Speaker 1>in Popco's the culture? I saw the follow up last

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:45.679
<v Speaker 1>week we had the Taylor Swift AI porn scandal and

0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>we talked about that. Alf did some research to make

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 1>sure that that stuff was off the Internet and he

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 1>was able to find some photos of Ai Taylor with

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Oscar the Grouch and he made sure to send those

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:58.480
<v Speaker 1>over to me. Thank you for that, Alf, I appreciate

0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:00.960
<v Speaker 1>that very kind of you to do that. Didn't need that.

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:06.360
<v Speaker 1>But Taylor Swift as a search term was actually blocked

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:10.399
<v Speaker 1>briefly on X because of that schedule could not search

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Swift because so many people were like trying to

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:18.480
<v Speaker 1>find find these photos. And one other note, the schools

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 1>around the United States are having a big problem with

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:26.359
<v Speaker 1>kids going to the bathroom and vandalizing, vaping, smoking weed,

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:30.160
<v Speaker 1>doing you know things kids do in bathrooms. So did

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you see in Houston and Green Bay they have gone

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 1>to extreme measures to stop kids from doing this in

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom. A Green Bay High school has put a

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 1>glass door on the bathroom because the schools like, we

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 1>got to stop kids from vaping and vandalizing the bathroom,

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 1>so we're just gonna put a glass door so we

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 1>can see in the bathroom to make sure they're not

0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>destroying the sink. And in Houston they've gone next level, Danny.

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:04.760
<v Speaker 1>They've been installed bathroom cameras to record to make sure

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that no one destroys and does drugs in the bathroom

0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and destroys.

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.280
<v Speaker 3>The sink and whatnot. That's okay with the laws in

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 3>their state.

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, no it's not. That's why it's a story that

0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:17.960
