Speaker 4: forever few of course, she wrote in on speaking of transportation,
Speaker 4: back to Michael.
Speaker 1: All Right, guys, so I'm trying to be healthy. I'm
Speaker 1: going to the gym. So I'm on a street, okay,
Speaker 1: this street.
Speaker 3: What do you do at the gym?
Speaker 1: A little? Mainly cardio stuff because I have to keep
Speaker 1: my blood sugar down.
Speaker 3: Which which cardio?
Speaker 1: Recumbent bikes to treadmill anything running, basically is what it
Speaker 1: comes down to.
Speaker 2: So you shake it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: You an elliptical man, Yeah, I've done that. I've done it.
Speaker 2: I've got to get back on the elliptical. It's a
Speaker 2: nice full body way.
Speaker 3: I've recently become a regular on the stair master or
Speaker 3: whatever you call that thing. What's what's the point in that,
Speaker 3: I'm climbing stairs, a never ending stairs. Build your glutes,
Speaker 3: am I. That's what I'm trying to do. That's why
Speaker 3: I'm doing it. I want my glutes to be built.
Speaker 1: A lot of women do that exercise, it's all.
Speaker 3: It's often busy. I have to keep my hand at
Speaker 3: the whole time on my gym. Wait till it opens up,
Speaker 3: and then quick run over there and get on it.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, back to you, Michael.
Speaker 1: So I'm on my way to the gym. I'm driving
Speaker 1: like thirty miles an hour. The gym is on a
Speaker 1: street where you can only go like thirty miles an hour,
Speaker 1: and so I'm making a left turn to go into
Speaker 1: the gym parking lot. I look, there's nobody coming at all.
Speaker 1: And as I'm turning left, I'm going real slow, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I see this car coming at
Speaker 1: me just as fast as they can, almost like they're
Speaker 1: trying to hit me on purpose. And I don't know
Speaker 1: whether it's the Lord or what. I gassed the car
Speaker 1: and I got out the way. And so I go
Speaker 1: and I park into my parking space in the gym,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, this person follows me along
Speaker 1: with another Yes, along with another car.
Speaker 3: What so, Oh, that's weird, very weird.
Speaker 1: And so the first one says ay in this drops
Speaker 1: f bombs at me and goes, you need to learn
Speaker 1: how to drive. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Mind you.
Speaker 1: This is a thirty mile an hour speed limit and
Speaker 1: they're going like seventy miles an hour and they're coming
Speaker 1: so they're coming right at me. And meanwhile, then another
Speaker 1: person comes from the other side of the parking lot
Speaker 1: and also confronts me and says, hey, I was a
Speaker 1: witness about three cars back, and you need to learn
Speaker 1: how to drive. What yes, and starts calling me a
Speaker 1: piece of s and this and that and.
Speaker 3: I'm good good. There's no wreck here.
Speaker 1: There's no wreck here whatsoever. Nothing. We didn't touch cars,
Speaker 1: we didn't do anything.
Speaker 3: Obviously, something weird's going on here. We're all just trying
Speaker 3: to figure out what the weird thing is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but this is, yeah, I mean a non collision
Speaker 4: or somebody had to hit their brakes.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to follow somebody in.
Speaker 1: And say I saw it all right, Why would.
Speaker 3: You do this right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's something afoot here.
Speaker 1: So I was afraid that these people are gonna rob me,
Speaker 1: and they don't look like you know, this is a
Speaker 1: high end area, so it's a fluent area, and they
Speaker 1: don't look like they're from around here. I thought, okay,
Speaker 1: something's not right here, and I kind of got out
Speaker 1: of the car and I said, you know, I okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you know, and just kind of walked away.
Speaker 1: And they said, are you going to the gym? And
Speaker 1: I just said, sir, you know, just leave me alone.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because they kind of looked at me
Speaker 1: and it was sort of like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I was getting ready to be robbed or if this
Speaker 1: was an insurance scam that went poorly because she was
Speaker 1: trying to hit me. So I'm trying to figure out.
Speaker 3: But well, okay, so that makes sense, like they're trying
Speaker 3: to hit you, and then they have somebody who's there
Speaker 3: for a witness and makes clams that aren't true.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're trying to since.
Speaker 3: They didn't hit you. I think you got to abort
Speaker 3: at that point and wait for the next poor victim
Speaker 3: to come along, because I mean, you get nothing here.
Speaker 4: But so there was just a bunch of cursing at
Speaker 4: you and insults, but no requests were made or demands
Speaker 4: or anything like that.
Speaker 1: And this was a parking lot at night.
Speaker 3: Were they waiting for you to that? None of this
Speaker 3: makes sense.
Speaker 1: If they're gonna rob your car, they wouldn't know. And
Speaker 1: I stood out that. I kind of went away and
Speaker 1: watched to make sure they didn't touch the car, and
Speaker 1: they finally just drove away. So I'm still trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what was this.
Speaker 2: This is bizarre.
Speaker 3: I think they had a slipping Jimmy sort of thing
Speaker 3: going there if you ever watched better Call Saul where
Speaker 3: they had a plan. But the fact that they followed
Speaker 3: through on it, even after the lack of contact is weird.
Speaker 4: Of course, wave it off and go around the block
Speaker 4: and wait for the next quarter of bastard to come along.
Speaker 3: A lot of criminals, as you point out regularly, are.
Speaker 2: Stupid, right, Yeah, yeah, wow, I don't.
Speaker 3: That would have disturbed me though, when the second car
Speaker 3: showed up and said, hey, I saw it all, saw
Speaker 3: all what I mean, I would have been bothered at
Speaker 3: that point, like, Okay, something bed's going on here.
Speaker 2: Right right, right?
Speaker 4: So car number one, describe the humans? Uh you mentioned
Speaker 4: as she? So one of them was a woman.
Speaker 1: Old lady, older woman, not great looking. Well, what they
Speaker 1: have been missing a few teeth?
Speaker 2: Okay? Now we have a dumpy.
Speaker 1: Car claimed that. You know, it's a good thing I
Speaker 1: didn't hit her because her sister's handicapped and she knows
Speaker 1: police and she would have gone after it.
Speaker 3: Whoa good thing you didn't hit me. My sister's handicapped
Speaker 3: and I know the police, right, all right?
Speaker 2: Just the facts or just the fact.
Speaker 4: So we've got a one middle aged, toothless woman in
Speaker 4: the first car.
Speaker 2: Was that the only person in that car? Yeah? That
Speaker 2: was it? All right? What about car number two?
Speaker 1: Car number two, he's uh got a dumpy white pickup truck,
Speaker 1: bearded guy and like I said, he opens his window attractive?
Speaker 2: Is he?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 2: Not great? How would you describe the state of his
Speaker 2: dental health?
Speaker 1: I think he has all his teeth.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so he is betoothed, all right.
Speaker 4: So one dude, one bearded, burly dude who offered to
Speaker 4: be a witness, a witness.
Speaker 3: And I saw that nothing happened myself, officer. That's the
Speaker 3: weirdest part.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that speaks to there's something really odd going on.
Speaker 3: I would I would have been a little worried to
Speaker 3: especially since his night and now there's a guy involved.
Speaker 3: I would have been a little worried, but I would
Speaker 3: have wanted to say, you saw all, what what are
Speaker 3: we talking about here?
Speaker 1: So I you know, like I said, I when the
Speaker 1: gym met my wife and I said, I have no
Speaker 1: idea what this was, what these people wanted. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm just glad it wasn't hit.
Speaker 4: I'm a cynical man. I grew up in a large
Speaker 4: metropolitan area. I've known plenty of cops. I've done bunches
Speaker 4: of ride alongs with the police news every single day,
Speaker 4: including the grim stuff. I can't figure this one out
Speaker 4: unless car number Why did car number one pull into
Speaker 4: the lot?
Speaker 2: If she'd missed you, If she's a slip in Jimmy.
Speaker 3: Skin, she's dumb. They their plan was she hits people
Speaker 3: on purpose, he says, I saw it all. They try
Speaker 3: to extort cash out of you or something right exactly
Speaker 3: at the crappy cars. Yeah, but these people, being dumb,
Speaker 3: particularly the first one, went ahead with the plan even
Speaker 3: though she missed. Is that's the only thing.
Speaker 4: I don't think this is true, but it's the only
Speaker 4: thing that's popped into my head. They follow you into
Speaker 4: the parking lot, having plan A fallen through. Plan B
Speaker 4: is intimidate you and make you give them money. But
Speaker 4: they saw that you were a reasonably fit mail and thought, no,
Speaker 4: we just this is a this is an over We're
Speaker 4: not going to get anything out of this one. Let's go,
Speaker 4: you know, to the gym or the grocery store down
Speaker 4: the street and try again. If you'd been a diminutive
Speaker 4: woman or a really terrified old guy or something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: maybe then they say, listen, I ought to beat your ass.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: You give me fifty bucks, we'll forget about all this,
Speaker 4: or you empty your wallet. Because I've been a victim
Speaker 4: of a strong arm robbery. It was a very long
Speaker 4: time ago. But I mean, it's not like they have
Speaker 4: to have a rationale.
Speaker 3: True. Wait a second, this prevace doesn't work right.
Speaker 2: Your entire approach, sir, is device logic. You know you're right.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, that's that's a weird one.
Speaker 2: Michael.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was scary, But then I'm trying
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself. Yet at the same time, nothing happened.
Speaker 1: You know, if they didn't when.
Speaker 3: You hit him with I'm not giving you money for
Speaker 3: a logical fallacy.
Speaker 2: Touche, sir touche, they would say.
Speaker 4: To you, Wow, good people theory cops, you've probably run
Speaker 4: into this. What the hell is going on? Mail Bag
Speaker 4: and Armstrong? You get is the email address mail Bag
Speaker 4: at Armstrong and Yiddy doctor And maybe we.
Speaker 3: Can follow up with the answers on Friday's One more thing.
Speaker 3: This might be a new thing that we do.
Speaker 2: The mysterious Case of the Toothless Hag.
Speaker 3: We set up something, we get answers, We come back
Speaker 3: the next day with some replies. Wow, case of the
Speaker 3: Toothless Hag who was not very good.
Speaker 2: Looking and the bearded guy with teeth in the pickup.

Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's it.
