Starting point is 00:00:31 Now, let's jump into this podcast. Hello, everybody. It's time for Ghost on Trend Dog. Ghost on Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live! In 4-hour recording studios! Recording!
Starting point is 00:00:51 Hit me! Wake your ass up! It's the Cacks and Crandons in the morning! Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me! Cacks and Crandons in the morning! Hello everybody and welcome back to another exciting episode of Cax and Crandall in the morning! After 10,000 years, have you returned to face the Power Rangers? What's going on over there? And limited power.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Oh, you have limited power? I do have limited power. I got like a couple hours of power and then I'm down for the count. Yeah, wow. We were just talking about how the beginning of this year has been very, I don't know, draining, I guess is the right way to put it. It's like January, I don't mind. February, it's like once you get to the end of February, it's that point where it's like we're a few weeks away from the clocks going forward again, getting more daylight. We already got more daylight, but you just want it to happen already. It's still kind of cold, and the heat's starting to push through.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Today, it was like 50-something. I'm like, nice, but then tomorrow, it's going to be like 30, and I'm just like, just stay at the 50s, man. Yeah, I guess I don't have that problem where there's cold weather, so you want to hibernate. I don't know. For some reason, maybe it's the amount of sunshine in the day or whatever it is. But January and February, I have had no desire. You can even see it from my creative output on the internet. I've had no desire to do anything.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I'm like, you know what? What if I just didn't do anything today you know spent some me time and just like went to the library stuff like that things that i haven't done in years i'm like now you're living a crendor life i know it's weird it's it doesn't feel natural i'm like i should be working i'm the opposite i need like those moments to just get me going like if i'm like i gotta work i'm like, I should be working. I'm the opposite. I need, like, those moments to just get me going. Like, if I'm like, I got to work, I'm like, oh, my God. This is why I do this job, so I don't have to work. So I got to, like, go to the library. I got to go to, like, container store. I got to go to Ikea, walk around the mall.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Because that, like, gives me energy. So I'm like, all right, you know. You, like, see people out and about doing their thing. They're working. They're going around. I'm like, all right, yeah, all right yeah yeah and i like feed off that energy from other people oh so you're like an energy vampire yeah pretty much i'm bad acquiring my own energy right right right i i have plenty of energy i just need like i need a minute to get revved up if you're like a lawnmower yeah you need to yank my crank a few times i don't get me going but once that happens i'm like boom baby yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:03:31 you know how do you how do you go about yanking that crank well uh you know it involves not being on the internet i realized i realized lately that i'll wake up and like look at twitter oh yeah that's a bad idea oh i know i'm aware of this now i'd wake up and look at Twitter. Oh, yeah, that's a bad idea. Oh, I know. I'm aware of this now. I'd wake up and I'd look at Twitter and be like, everything I do sucks. The problem is the people I follow are most of the time either friends or people that I've met at events or people that i've worked with right right and so the problem is is i will then see people that i know be like today i was in japan
Starting point is 00:04:12 for three weeks and i met uh the ancestor of the first emperor and we had tea and then we went and drove mario karts together and then i took this photo of me climbing Mount Fuji. And then, like, crazy shit. And I'm just like, I will probably make a video today. Like, aw, man. Right? And it's one of those things where I think
Starting point is 00:04:37 you need to accept that your life is good the way it is. You should be really thrilled about what you have, rather than look at people who, I think we all know, we all know that everyone posts their best stuff online like no one's posting the other parts of that fake japanese trip they're like you know got stuck in line at the airport for five hours like no one posts that stuff yeah i probably would you would this is why i follow um but most of the, it's people posting their best days and their best photos and awful filters and shit. And they're doing it, I think, I'm going to say because they're awful people.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I'm not going to put anyone on blast, but a certain someone who will remain nameless, she follows all these people on the internet and hates them. I'm like, why are you following them? And she's like, well, because they're my friends. I'm like, but you hate them. She's like, yeah, well, I hate them because they show off so much. I'm like, what do you mean? They post all these photos and they all look beautiful. And so it makes me want to post photos.
Starting point is 00:05:44 So I have to post photos to compete with their photos. I'm like what are you talking about? That sounds terrible and she's like it is terrible. I'm like then why do you do it? She's like well if I don't do it then I become irrelevant. I'm like oh my god I can't. I can't do it. And that's the route I think I'm headed down and I have to avoid it.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I have to get out. My strategy is I just live in irrelevancy and I dwell in it, and that makes me more relevant to live in irrelevance. Whatever the hell you just said probably means something. You're right. You're right. See, like, half the people I follow are muted.
Starting point is 00:06:24 If I just see some, I'm just like, I'm going to mute them. Like, I don't block anybody. I'm not that person. Like, I don't care enough to actually block someone. But I mute a bunch of people. I'm not really a big Twitter person. I almost was just like, sometimes I just go on Twitter just to be like, what's everyone doing now? Like, they did the intimidation thing.
Starting point is 00:06:42 So, like, I was tweeting about that. Like, aside from that, from that i don't care you also did the uh the intimidation tweet thing i did i did do the intimidation tweet yeah i did that uh i definitely put you at a one yeah i have no intimidation you're like a i just called you the lighthouse beacon of social interaction you like just stand there and it's like you're a lighthouse bringing the ships in. I don't understand it, but I feel like I should be able to use it against people.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I need to learn how to do that. You're just like the jolly old goofball guy. I'm the jolly old goofball guy. I remember there was a jolly young goofball guy. Now I'm the jolly old goofball guy oh i was just thinking uh i said it before but like when we first met i was like you were my age now and now i have reached the age you were when we met and now you i don't i think it was before that was it maybe you were like 29 or something i was when we first met i yeah i was either 28 or 29
Starting point is 00:07:48 yeah i was 21 then damn damn damn damn yeah sounds about right here's the thing though if you look at the old pictures i look like i am may we look like goofball kids you look like you came right out the elementary school and i look like i am like. You look like you came right out the elementary school, and I look like I am a teenager who has never shaved before. Like, oh, jeez, mister. We look so goofy. It's ridiculous. What would you rate my intimidation?
Starting point is 00:08:18 Your intimidation? I said I was a five. Here's the thing. Depending on the day. I'm influenced by the fact that i know you that's true if you were like a slim door right you'd be a one right but you but now you're buff door you you're right you're at least a five at least a five because now you have this look about you that sort of says like i could kill a person yeah don of says, like, I could kill a person. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Don't say yeah. I could. I could kill a person. But you have that look. You have that look that you could violently hurt a person now. And I think that's a little intimidating to people. It also depends on my pain scale for that day. If my, like, IBS gastritis, my, like, sinuses or something are flared up i'm not gonna be a good mood i'm not
Starting point is 00:09:05 gonna look happy and i'm probably gonna be like a six or seven but if i got like no pain i'm gonna be a little more like hey so i probably drop it down like a four i could be in the worst mood ever i could be ready to physically hurt people and people would still come up to me like hey man you want to give $5 to charity? I'm like, how am I the approachable one? There's eight of us here. Why are you coming to me? Every time.
Starting point is 00:09:30 I don't know what it is. I am a magnet to people asking for money, to people who want to know my thoughts on things, to people canvassing the neighborhood, to religious people who are like, do you want to know the good word? For some reason, they all think I'm the guy to talk to. And I don't know why. I don't know what i've done to make it so they think like yeah let's go approach that guy maybe it's because i do maybe it's because i i'm like all right i'll
Starting point is 00:09:54 listen it's probably it oh it's all good and explain don't want to though but i'm like all right i'll listen well today they all talk to each other? Oh, yeah, no doubt. They have like a coalition. The coalition to bug Jesse? Yeah. And they're just like, all right, he's going to be at Rouse Friendly Market this Sunday. Get him, guys. They get out of their van.
Starting point is 00:10:18 They all line up. Yeah, and the worst part is it's never anything real, right? It's never anything like the Girl Scouts. Be like, sir, do you want some cookies? It's never that. It's always just like, hey, man, I'm trying to get into school as an artist. A rock artist. I paint rocks.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yeah, he's like, I have a portfolio. It's like, and you see see the portfolio and it's like sketches Like really bad sketches Like I'm trying to go to school man And it's in a notebook that's clearly stolen From like a 5th grader He's just like they kicked me out a few times Because I was too good but I'm trying to get back
Starting point is 00:10:57 I honestly feel like That's me every time I go out anywhere People are just like Hey man I got these One time I was in anywhere. People are just like, hey, man, I got these. One time I was in downtown LA. A guy walks up and was like, hey, man, I have all these necklaces. You want a gold necklace? I'm like, what?
Starting point is 00:11:14 No, I'm good, dude. And he's like, all right, well, if you come back this way, I'll have some watches later. I'm like, what does that mean? You have watches later? It's like an NPC. Every 20 minutes, he swaps out his loot. He's a Khajiit, yeah. Today, I was talking to Sam in his stream, and he's like, oh, I'm a 10.
Starting point is 00:11:37 And everyone was like, no, you're like a 1. And he's like, oh, I'm a 10. I'm a 10. You know that... You know that... What's the anime trope about the person who has a really soft interior, but a hard, fake exterior? Yeah, he definitely puts up the hard exterior, but you can see right through it.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Everyone can see through it. And he's doing that, and then he's like, I'm definitely more intimidating than Sam. And he's like,'s doing that and then he's like oh because i was like oh i'm definitely uh more intimidating than sam and he's like crendall you're like homeless nobody nobody wants to come up to you you're so homeless and then everyone was like well that would probably mean he's more intimidating that's very intimidating yeah and then and then he's like that's very intimidating but then he i was like yeah that means i'm more intimidating and he's like no what if anything i'm more intimidating. And he's like, no.
Starting point is 00:12:27 If anything, I'm more homeless. And then he started trying to be the homeless person. And I was like, no, you can't flip the script. Then we had a battle. He's like, how long is your hair? I bet my hair is longer. But my hair was longer. And so.
Starting point is 00:12:40 What is happening between you two? This is a rivalry I do not like. I don't like this. So it's going places. I don't like this. So it's going places. I also think this is skewed. I think it comes down to the bigger you get, let's say you're a jacksepticeye. Sorry, Sean.
Starting point is 00:12:56 If you're listening, you're not. But like watching him, he goes to events and there's like all these screaming girls. You and I were there that one time When we videoed it right Then the one tried to actually It was her dad and her and then it was a bad time
Starting point is 00:13:12 Yes I'll never forget that He was like well you guys are close enough I'll never forget that We were just like sorry we're not Jack That was incredible So but like you saw That his whole thing was like Like, sorry, we're not Jack. That was incredible. So, but, like, you saw that his whole thing was, like, he said hi to the fans, he did his time, and then security ushered him out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Like, he vanished. There was no, you got your, like, minute with him, and then you had to go. Maybe less than a minute, and then you had to go maybe less than a minute and then you had to go with us we were like awkwardly keeping people there like having conversations and be like yeah we're fine don't worry about it see you later have a good one and i think it comes with the fact that at a certain point you hit that fame threshold where you have to kind of be a standoffish dick i don't mean that like sean's a dick i'm saying like you have to be like all right next next next next next, next. It's not that you want to you have to. Yeah, forget the everybody.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Yeah, and I think that ups your your score a little bit. Because at that point people are like, oh, I don't want to talk to him because I'll be, you know, you have to be important to talk to him because he only gives you a few minutes. Meanwhile, you and I are like, hey you bring me a drink
Starting point is 00:14:24 you goofball. This is like 80% you. I'm just like, I'm there. I'm doing my thing. But I hit a point where you can just keep going. And I'm like, I need to just go lay down. Yeah, you're right. I'm the problem. Just fight with me.
Starting point is 00:14:46 But I just can't do that. I need, like, recharge time or I'm out. You know? I know. I'm aware. I think it's really funny. I just feel put on blast. You were like, no, that's all you, really.
Starting point is 00:15:00 It is? Oh. I want to share something with you. it's totally unrelated but I know I forget okay but it made me laugh because it's just it's insane so I listen to what I'm like in the kitchen trying to cook oh my god speaking of which Another tangent Today I tried to make a Like a weird vegetable Like a veggie dish Right?
Starting point is 00:15:31 And it was supposed to be a vegan thing So it had It was supposed to have vegan chicken And I was like, I'll give it a shot, whatever It looks good, everyone says it's good, I'll try it The box says that the vegan chicken Is made with the same process They used to make their vegan sausage i was like okay i guess that means something and i i think i was supposed to be a selling point everyone's like it's very very
Starting point is 00:15:55 their vegan sausage is very good so the chicken is just as good i was like okay so i cooked this thing and i want to tell you something their vegan sausage is very good because that's what it tasted like it tasted like sausage in the shape of chicken and I was like this is unpleasant because it was supposed to be in like a stir fry thing so it was sausage stir fry
Starting point is 00:16:17 I was not feeling it I had a few bites and was like well lesson learned I would rather eat tofu than eat, I guess, like normal tofu than eat whatever the hell that was. It was bad. Anyway, while I was cooking that, I was listening to the radio and a commercial came on for the local cable company here, Spectrum, which is terrible. Right. And the ad was, do you video game to your thumbs hurt?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Do you video game to your eyes burn? Then you're a speed freak. And I was like, what? That's shit. I was like, wait, what? I don't think that means what you think that means. A speed freak. You're a speed freak.
Starting point is 00:17:07 I don't know if I get it. If I were to say, go to Google, type in speed freak. Speed freak. See what pops up. One who habitually misuses amphetamines, especially methamphetamines. Exactly. There youines. Exactly. There you go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Drug addict. Yep. That's pretty much what I expect. A speed demon is someone who drives fast, right? Or someone who goes going very fast. Yeah. The connotation of a freak is literally someone who is like tripping all the balls oh yeah that sounds like they don't know what they're talking about it sounds like someone thought that was a really
Starting point is 00:17:53 clever ad like you need speed get it guys will call them speed freaks but it's like uh okay and so every time i hear it now i'm just, I think they're saying that I'm addicted to drugs. You video game too much, you're addicted to drugs. It's at the point where now it's like mainstream to just be like, are you a hardcore gamer? Like, I just hate the term gamer in general now. It's an awful term. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:18:21 It's like you don't just, you don't watch TV. Like, all right, are you a watcher? It's stupid you don't just You don't watch TV Are you a watcher? It's stupid as shit At least one person is In a small town somewhere there is at least one watcher These are gamers They like gaming I hate it
Starting point is 00:18:36 It feels I don't want to say a little derogatory But it feels like it's both condescending And not Like oh you're a gamer. You're one of those gamers. I'm gonna get you a shirt that says hardcore gamer at
Starting point is 00:18:51 play. Okay, grandma. Yeah, it sucks. I hate when they do that. But that's the same thing when I think of influencers, right? Just words where they try to categorize people and you're like yo no not all of us have influence many of us have none it's yeah it's like imagine it's the same thing if you were to start calling like old people like yeah you're a watcher you watch that television instead of just
Starting point is 00:19:20 being like oh you watch tv right oh you play video games. Like, ah, you're a gamer. Any type of categorizing that's in like a negative aspect. By the way, Categor sounds like a great name for like a giant buff cat. Categor. Categor. I choose you. Be my noble steed. You jump on the... Categor, I choose you. Be my noble steed. You jump on the...
Starting point is 00:19:46 Categor, we ride! Yeah, sounds great. Categor does not move today. He chooses to stay still. Buffdor would ride Categor. Oh, yeah, no doubt. Oh, my God, you're He-Man. I never think of this before.

Starting point is 00:28:48 So it looks like it's going to be Houston Roughnecks' best team in the XFL. Damn. There you go. And the worst team... Very happy. And the worst team is the Tampa Bay Vipers. So not too good. Why are they called the Vipers?
Starting point is 00:29:04 None of these seem to to make sense to their locations yeah wouldn't it be like the Tampa Bay Heat or something or the Tampa Bays but even the Buccaneers I guess they don't really get at least they're by water I guess you're right I feel like they just slap some names
Starting point is 00:29:21 yeah I feel like Florida's like we really don't have an identity except for like crazy the LA Wildcats why the wildcats it's lazy i just it's like this reminds me of the uh the simpsons or just like who are we the wildcats who are we gonna beat the wildcats yeah uh so yeah that's that's the XFL Alright, what is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day Is actually a pretty big news story Because everyone's tweeting it at us
Starting point is 00:29:55 I think I know what this is It is the Mad Mike Hughes story When did we talk about Mad Mike I don't know when this was But I remember that the story was that he was Going to Prove the earth was flat
Starting point is 00:30:14 By launching himself In a steam powered rocket Into space To prove the earth was flat And at the time we said this was a terrible idea This was one of the worst Actions we had ever heard And I shouldn't be laughing to prove the earth was flat. And at the time, we said this was a terrible idea. This was one of the worst ideas we'd ever heard. And I shouldn't be laughing because it's actually very sad.
Starting point is 00:30:33 When was this? I don't know. If I had to guess, I'd say it was like a year and a half ago. I would say it was maybe three months ago. I would say maybe the latest summertime last year. All right. That's probably more accurate. Either way. A year and a half. How do you live? months ago i would say well maybe summer maybe at latest summertime last year all right that's probably more accurate either way a year and a half what how do you live every time i'm like remember that you're like was that 1983 i'm like no i think i overestimate you underestimate it's probably somewhere in the middle yeah it's probably somewhere in the middle uh so mad
Starting point is 00:30:59 mike hughes 64 died after crash landing his steam-powered rocket shortly after takeoff. I shouldn't laugh, but like, guys, we all knew this was going to happen. Yeah, it was. Why didn't no one try to stop him? We're his loved ones. Can't stop, man. Can't stop Mad Mike. A video on social media shows a rocket being fired into the sky before plummeting to the ground nearby.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Hughes was well known for his belief that the Earth was flat. He hoped to prove his theory by going to space. Saturday's launch was reportedly filmed as part of a homemade astronauts, a TV series about amateur rocket makers to be aired on the U.S. Science Channel. The project had to be carried out on a tight budget. It's not good for the budget. There's a reason why NASA is like
Starting point is 00:31:53 a billion dollar enterprise. With the help of his partner, Waldo Stakes. Hold on. What's this guy's name? Waldo Stakes. This can't's name? Waldo Stakes. This can't be real. Waldo Stakes. Waldo Stakes.
Starting point is 00:32:12 When I type in Waldo Stakes, the top result is Waldo Stakes' daughter. What? Yeah. Waldo Stakes. What's funny is you just simply can't find him. I know. There's funny is you just simply can't find him. I know. There's his daughter, I guess. It's like the top three results are his daughter.
Starting point is 00:32:31 On therealrocketman.com. What the sh... Stephanie Barden, Waldo's daughter. Where's Waldo? Literally. Oh, there's Waldo literally oh there's a whole it took you to take a minute every time yeah always takes a little bit to find Waldo oh my god Waldo looks exactly what I thought he would look like I gotta find him images there he is oh my god yeah he does Waldo steaks looks exactly like what waldo steaks would look like
Starting point is 00:33:06 that's waldo's daughter he looks like a person i actually dated once oh yeah i think you're right yeah like maybe what 2012 ish yeah i think you're uh you're actually spot on so where am i with the help of his partner waldo snakes hughes was trying to reach an altitude of 5 000 feet while riding a steam-powered rocket according to space.com in the video of the launch a parachute can be seen trailing behind the rocket apparently deployed too early seconds after takeoff in the tweet the science channel Science Channel said Hughes had died pursuing his dream. Of proving the Earth was flat?
Starting point is 00:33:49 That's his dream. San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said its officers were called to a rocket launch around 14 local time. Sheriff's Office said a man was pronounced deceased after the rocket crashed in the open desert. Hughes' publicist confirmed to U.S. media outlets it was the pilot who had been killed.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Darren Schuster, a former rep for Hughes, told TMZ the daredevil was, quote, one of a kind. Quote, when God made Mike, he broke the mold. Oh, no. The man was the real deal and lived to push the edge. He wouldn't have gone out any other way. Rip, he said. Had Mike and his assistants built the edge he wouldn't have gone out any other way rip he said had mike and his assistants built the homemade rocket in his backyard uh oh they did build it in his backyard
Starting point is 00:34:33 spend around to say what yeah build it around eighteen thousand dollars for that rocket uses steam ejected through a nozzle for propulsion oh Oh, so maybe Waldo Stakes was the guy who helped build the rocket. Because I don't see any connection. I've been looking at Waldo Stakes trying to figure out how he's connected to this. Mostly so I can justify the fact that I'm kind of attracted to his daughter. So I want to make sure they're not crazy. But it turns out that... They are crazy.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Basically, he designs vehicles to break land speed records. So he's associated with all sorts of things, where he builds giant rocket-looking cars in order to... He's trying to break the 2,000 mile per hour land speed record. So I guess he knows how to build things that look like rockets. And I guess he helped this guy build things that look like rockets And I guess He helped this guy build He helped Mad Mike build his thing
Starting point is 00:35:29 That makes sense then I see Basically I'm just saying Waldo's daughter What's her name? Waldina? Stephanie, Waldina Stephanie Stephanie Waldo Stakes Call me
Starting point is 00:35:44 Yeah Let's see is Stephanie. Stephanie Waldo Stakes. Call me. Yeah. Let's see. Oh my god. This story, I found the old article. I was right. November 27, 2017. But when did we find the article?
Starting point is 00:36:03 I'm pretty sure it was around there. Maybe like early 2018 then. All right. All right. I'm telling you, it was like two years. Okay. I don't know what I believe anymore.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Either way, the daredevil who lived in Apple Valley made headlines internationally when he announced his intention to prove his theory that the Earth was flat. In March last year, Hughes managed an altitude of 1870 feet before deploying his parachute, landing with a bump. Oh, maybe that was it, March of last year. Maybe we covered this multiple times. That's what I'm saying. I think that's what we talked about last time. Yeah, I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:36:43 So it was like a year ago. All right, yeah, we talked about last time. Yeah, I think you're right. So it was like a year ago. All right. Yeah, we're in the middle. Speaking afterwards, he said, quote, Am I glad I did it? Yeah, I guess. I'll feel it in the morning. I won't be able to get out of bed. At least I can go home and have dinner and see my cats tonight.
Starting point is 00:37:00 He set a Guinness World Record in 2002 for longest limousine jump over 31 meters in a Lincoln Pound car stretched limo. All right. Well, I mean, that's a thing. I feel bad because it's not a good story, but we had to follow up on it. Everyone wanted us to. A man died, but also, don't do rocketry, y'all. He's a madman. You know, if you're in the secret lab long enough,
Starting point is 00:37:30 something's going to blow up on you. You're right. They did call him a madman. When that happens, when that's your fate, you have to maybe turn it back a little bit. Maybe get the hell out of there. When they call you madman, it's time to run let's see let's get a let's get a happy story spice this up yes uh all right oh man we got two options one is it feels like a hot tub when these employees fired after man takes
Starting point is 00:38:01 bath and restaurants sink and then we've also got florida man tried to escape cops by stripping naked rib eyes fell out of his pants both these stories are good i'll let you decide all right all right this one's really short they'll do both greenville michigan several employees have been fired over a viral video that shows a man bathing in a Wendy's restaurant sink. The video has been making its rounds on social media, shows a shirtless man inside the restaurant's kitchen. Employees can also be heard laughing while another person in uniform throws something into the sink and yells, wash yourself. In the video, the shirtless man is seen scrubbing himself saying, Feels like hot tub.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Since the video is uploaded, it has been viewed thousands of times now, many people are calling for employees to be held accountable. I mean, I don't wish bad on anybody, but I sure hope they get fired, said customer Michael Guerrera. Fast Food Chain later released a statement in regard to the video saying, Michael Guerrero. Fast food chain later released a statement in regard to the video saying, this aggroveriness behavior is completely unacceptable and uncountable to our safety,
Starting point is 00:39:10 training, and operational standards. Please don't sue us. The health department has also since evaluated the restaurant and everything has been sanitized. Can I tell you, it's a little weird that every time I hear a story about someone either finding a body part
Starting point is 00:39:26 or bathing in stuff or doing something weird, it's always a Wednesday. Wednesdays? I don't know what's happening to me today. It's always Wednesdays. I can't talk. It's always a Wednesday. Always Wednesdays. How is a Wendy's?
Starting point is 00:39:44 How is a Wendy's? Also, this guy that's, like, in the hot tub, well, the sink or whatever. Like, what does he expect it to feel like? Like, you pour hot water and soap in a thing. He's like, wow, it feels like a hot bath. Like, no shit. That's what it is. I can't believe that it's just every time it's a Wendy's. Every time.
Starting point is 00:40:06 You never hear about the people that are like, at McDonald's, a man got naked. It took a bath. McDonald's is where people go to have fights. No one's taking a bath anywhere. Ronald McDonald disciplines you hard. He doesn't just fire you. He comes after you. You wake up.
Starting point is 00:40:23 You see a clown head in your bed. comes after you you found you wake up you see like a clown head in your bed put your hands behind your back you're coming with me don't look at me a week later he was gone and nobody knows where he went yeah he was gone. That was it. Ronald McDonald doesn't fuck around. I feel like you don't hear stories about Jack in the Box or rallies because no one really cares, but you know that's happened. At rallies, you know someone's put their balls in the meat. You know that's happened. At rallies, oh, for sure.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Rallies are checkers, as they're called in the South. Yeah, for sure. That'sReilly's or Checkers, as they're called in the South. Hmm. Yeah, for sure. That's a whole different story. All right. Then we've got Florida man tried to escape cops by stripping naked. Rib eyes fell out of his pants. Daytona Beach, a shoplifting suspect trying to get away from a grocery store, stripped naked and stakes tumbled out of his pants.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Trying to get away from a grocery store stripped naked and stakes tumbled out of his pants. Police say they found Stefan Short, 28, of Deland, Florida, running out of the store in the buff. And when he refused to stop, officers tasered him. The incident occurred Friday night at the Save-A-Lot in Deland. Officers were sent to the store and were told Short was being pinned to the ground by a manager and a civilian but he was fighting them the police report said witnesses reported to police that in an attempt to get away short wriggled out of his clothes police said short stole four packs of ribeye steaks valued at 41.24 cents Damn! I know. Short was charged with resisting an officer without violence,
Starting point is 00:42:08 resisting a store employee while committing a theft and first-degree petty theft. He was held without bail Monday at the Volusia County Branch Jail. Do you have any footage of him stuffing those stakes down? I want to know how he tried to do this. Yeah, those were like big stakes, right? Yeah, like
Starting point is 00:42:24 how did he think he was going to pull this off? Did he just walk up and do it and hope he was going to do it quickly enough to leave? How did he, or was he sneaky where he's like walking around the store and he put one down and he walked by again and got another one and put another one down? Like how did he pull this off? Because this is ballsy. Four steaks? Who's he trying to feed?
Starting point is 00:42:40 Why did he put them in his paints? Well, I mean there's plastic wraps so. Couldn't he have just, like, used a bag? Like, just, like, bring a bag And then someone probably, like, oh He's probably, like, buying the steaks Putting them in his bag And then he'd have a better chance walking out
Starting point is 00:42:56 But here's the thing Normal looking dude So you're right He could have just gone in with a bag And, like, been like, oh, I forgot a thing or something I don't know Listen, I pay money for my stuff So i don't know listen i pay money for my stuff so i don't know well if you don't have the money and you want steaks i guess you're
Starting point is 00:43:11 gonna steal them my question is i feel like there's a better solution than getting four at a time four at a time down your pants seems like uh they're gonna recognize that yeah they're gonna recognize that that's a lot of pants stakes an officer arriving at the store saw coupon books and packs of meat scattered on the store's floor and a naked short running store manager reported that short was a regular shoplifter at the store and that there we go all right when other shoppers reported they saw him stuffing meat in his pants, the manager stopped him. Short was taken to the hospital after it was discovered that a taser prong struck him in the genitals. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:43:57 That's where it ends. He's going to need that cold meat down there. He's going to get me a frozen steak for my balls. Yeah, he's going to need that one meat down there. He's going to get me a frozen steak for my balls. Yeah, he's going to need that one. That's going to sting for a while. Oh, man, that guy, his testicles went through a range of emotions.
