Hey, you want to make a million dollars this holiday season?
Starting point is 00:02:52 Yes, the Jubal Show. If you said no to that, you're weird. But most likely, the idea of an easy, extra million dollars in your pocket sounds pretty nice well one person figured out how to make a million dollars with a simple little holiday side hustle and what they did is proof that there are really no bad ideas ever and you too could be the next holiday millionaire we'll tell you what happened and go over some other ways you can make some extra cash this holiday season right after this it's the jubel show how can you make a million dollars with a simple little holiday
Starting point is 00:03:26 side hustle? Well, you're about to find out because one man figured out how to make a million dollars off of something that is so ridiculous and so easy that you can do it too. Also, there's a list of other day solid a holiday side hustles that you can get if you want to make some extra cash for the holiday season, but a million dollars wouldn't be bad. No. Well, a guy in Minneapolis figured out how to do the impossible and make a million dollars in just a few months last holiday season. 33-year-old Trevor Dobson's of Minneapolis earned over a million
Starting point is 00:03:59 dollars last year by launching pre-licked candy canes. What? Ew. It's a novelty stocking stuffer marketed toward people who hate sharing their sweets. What started as a gag gift between friends turned into a viral
Starting point is 00:04:13 phenomenon and Trevor uploaded a TikTok video demonstrating the product and candy canes that were half eaten completely with realistic moisture shine and individual lick patterns on them. When asked for a statement, he said he was tired of people asking for a taste. So he made candy canes to make them look like somebody had already gotten to them. What?
Starting point is 00:04:32 How do you do that? According to him, his pre-licked look is achieved with a proprietary mix of edible glaze, peppermint oil, and what he calls trade secret tongue physics. Oh. Tongue physics sounds like you're using your tongue, bro. Yeah. We're talking about a guy who made a million dollars off of a simple little holiday side hustle last year. Within days, orders poured in from pranksters, office secret santa's,
Starting point is 00:04:59 and just people who wanted to get pre-licked candy canes for their loved ones. He's since hired a six-person team, trademarked a name, and is negotiating a licensing deal. Good for him. When asked about his success, he said, I just wanted to ruin Christmas candy for everybody. Thanks for the million dollar bonus. Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:19 What? Not bad. No, not at all. I mean, you're right. Well, you really can make money off of absolutely anything. But who's going to buy them? Apparently, a lot of people. A lot of people. I know.
Starting point is 00:05:29 The pranksters make sense, but I legit thought he was just looking them. I didn't think he was putting a glaze on it. Yeah, yeah. That feels like a lot of work. It really does. But you, too, can make a million dollars with pre-licked candy canes or some other things. There's also a list of other day holiday side hustles that you can get this year if you want to make some extra cash for a holiday season.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Not sure if any of these will make you a million dollars. but you'll at least make some extra cash. Hey, that's all we need. Holiday cleaning. It says requests for services for holiday cleaning on TaskRabbit jump up about 26% this time of year. Really? You're ready for holidays and guests. Why?
Starting point is 00:06:07 Because if people are coming over, you want your house to look good. So you have somebody come clean the space while you're busy wrapping presents or cooking or working. I don't know. The only I don't get is if you hire people to come this one time a year, how come you don't want your house to clean the rest of the time of the year? That's a very valid point. Yeah. You can live in filth as long as nobody sees it.
Starting point is 00:06:28 What are some other holiday side hustles that you can get if you want to make some extra cash? Hanging holiday lights is a big one. Oh, yeah. I want to do that one. My dad uses that feature because he can't climb on the roof anymore. I called it a feature. But there's this guy in the neighborhood who's so sweet and he just climbs everybody's like roofs and hooks them all up because it's a bunch of older people like 60 plus. Oh, no, he charges.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Oh, okay. I was going to say, yeah, yeah. You gotta be careful with that one. Also, running holiday errands is another way that you can make extra cash from delivering Christmas trees to a house to heading to the store to buy new toys before they get sold out. Another way that you can make extra cash. Okay, I thought about...
Starting point is 00:07:05 Oh, I thought about ordering that, so I don't have to go do it. Just booking flies alone, stress me out, so I don't like going to the stores where there are a lot of people. Like, Costco this weekend was crazy. And I can't imagine, like, the toy stores for, like, my nieces or, not nieces, but, like, little cousins. how packed they are and everyone's just running around and those moms are like
Starting point is 00:07:23 yeah punch someone if you get the toy that they want I think about it it could be very therapeutic if you want to fight but you don't want to get in trouble kind of fight just go to a toy store
Starting point is 00:07:31 and like bump somebody and be like oh my bad I want a Zatickle me Elmo also waiting in line is another holiday side hustle that you can get somebody will hire you to wait in line for them when a product comes out
Starting point is 00:07:42 or to wait at a toy store to buy that you've been wanting to get somebody for Christmas standing and waiting in line making cash I would do any of these things I mean it's so easy but how do you sign up for that one I don't know you just tell people advertise
Starting point is 00:07:56 I will stand in line for you would you stand in line for Black Friday I mean yeah if you're gonna pay me yes the stores are so crazy people are elbowing everywhere it's worth it if you're getting paid really yeah you wouldn't I don't know I've never been to a Black Friday I've only seen videos my parents never let me go
Starting point is 00:08:11 they said it yeah no it's you're smart I've been to one Black Friday in my life and I feared for my life It was to get a TV. Are you serious? Yeah, I swear I got elbow checked by this old lady. I was like, did she sharpen her elbows before she got in here? Good Lord.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Did you get the TV though? Yeah, of course. Oh, my bad. A lot stronger than her. I was going to do the old lady to get the TV. But I would like to point out, though, all those things that we just listed, you know, those make up to like, I don't know, $25 an hour, 30 bucks an hour. You can also just lick candy canes for a million dollars a holiday day.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Right, right. It's another jubble phone frame. Weekday mornings on the 20s. Hello? You left something behind, and I have it. I'm sorry, can you repeat that? Is this Josh? Yes, speaking. Who is this?
Starting point is 00:09:09 Hi, Josh. My name is Juniper, and I work in housekeeping at the hotel. And you recently were staying with us for a week and six hours. Yes. Just checked out the other day. Six hours. Yes, a week and six hours, be quite precise. And you just checked out the other day, and I hope your travels home were safe and comfortable. And I hope you enjoyed your stay while you were here with us.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Yes, very much. Is there a problem? There's there reasons for the call? There is a problem, yes. And that's why I'm calling because I'd like to fix it for you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:00 So what's the problem? Well, I'm part of the housekeeping staff. And I was in charge of cleaning your room after you checked out, and I was doing my usual cleaning services and making sure that all the fibers and everything was cleaned up for the next person who was going to be using the room
Starting point is 00:10:20 and I stumbled upon your toothbrush that was left behind. Oh, uh... Seems you forgot your toothbrush. Oh, oh, yeah. I noticed that when I got home. Yes. It's totally fine. I've got other ones at home.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Don't worry about it. And I was very concerned because dental hygiene and tooth maintenance is very important, and I didn't want you to miss out. and have your gums be hurting because you couldn't brush your teeth because you forgot your tooth fresh with us? I appreciate the concern, not an issue. Dental hygiene is very important. Yes, yes, I agree. I have other toothbrushes.
Starting point is 00:11:06 I used to work in the dental industry before I was let go, but that's another story for a different time. And so I do know a lot about oral hygiene and keeping the teeth nice and healthy and white and keeping the gums clean and making sure they're free from plaques and things like that. Okay, okay. That's great. I don't need the toothbrush. You don't need to do it up. You can throw it away.
Starting point is 00:11:42 That's fine. You can use it for cleaning. I do not need it. Well, it's your toothbrush. It's a very important personal item. I appreciate it. I've had a lot of toothbrushes. I have many more.
Starting point is 00:11:57 It's not my only toothbrush. I will be okay. Well, I'd like to personally hand it to you. No, I, that's... I'm here now. I'm not necessary. I'm not necessary. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:12:12 This is really creepy and unprofessional, and I, if you don't leave my house, I'm going to actually have to call the Blues. Are you knocking? I will. Sir, you need to leave. It's an unhinged behavior. Sort of by the back door. I can't believe you're still at.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Or you're knocking on the glass. If you can hear me, I'm just knocking on the glass. Oh, my God. You need to go. I am not kidding. I will call them. It seems that nobody's home right now, but I would like to return the toothbrush. I am not home.
Starting point is 00:12:44 You need to get away from my house. I am not kidding. Everybody could just answer. I am not kidding. This is unhinged, iconic behavior. I'm seconds away from calling the cops. Please get away from my house. Josh.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Josh, this is actually Juble from the Jubal show doing a phone break on you, and your wife said you up. It's a joke. She said that you. Oh, my. God. We're on a trip last week and forgot your toothbrush of the hotel and wanted to mess with you. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Oh, my God. I was breaking out. Jesus. Oh, my God. Wake up every morning with jubble phone pranks. It's time for Nina's what's trending. How would you feel if your ex's new partner dresses you for Halloween? Okay, sound the petty alarms because this may be the pettiest couple's costume of all time.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Wait, my ex-dress as me? Your ex's new partner dressed as you for Halloween. I would actually probably think it was funny because I'd be like, man, you guys are wasting a lot of time thinking about me. Because I'd be like, I've moved on. But go ahead with the costume. Is that not also occurred to you, though? If your new person is dressing up as your ex, like, hey, maybe we're putting a bit too much time into my ex. we're still thinking about my ex.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Yay. Look at me. Anyway, I'll tell you who did that because it happened in just a second. But first we have to talk about the baseball drama. It's happening again, sports betting. So Cleveland Guardians pitchers, Emmanuel Clace,
Starting point is 00:14:28 I'm probably britching these names, I apologize, and Luis Ortiz have been indicted on charges that they took bribes from sports betters to throw certain types of pitches, including tossing balls in the dirt instead of strikes, to ensure successful bribes. So, allegedly, they did this to help
Starting point is 00:14:44 unnamed gamblers from the Dominican Republic, their native home. And they took $460,000. Whoa. No, I'm sorry. The betters won over $460,000 on in-game prop bets because of how they threw the game. Oh, that's bad too. They were doing prop bets. So prop bets are like those ones like, it's like, hey, in the sixth inning, so-and-so will throw a ball on the ground.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Yeah. Right? Something that usually doesn't happen or whatever. It's not just the outcome of the game. That's something those people can directly control. Wait, that's like so specific, though. Like, is that so obvious? You would think it would be obvious. But the wild thing, and it's the same thing I said about, was it basketball that we just talked about that's doing this? I think this is, I mean, I'm just not rocket science,
Starting point is 00:15:23 but I think this has been going on for a really long time. Oh, yeah. It's just surprising that now, is it because of whistleblowers? Like, how are they getting caught? People get caught here and there. They always have. Well, that's so obvious. How do you not get caught?
Starting point is 00:15:36 Like, P. Rose is probably the most famous one to get caught. Why? Because he was a great baseball player, Hall of Famer. But he was gambling so much on. baseball. I don't even know if they ever allowed him into the Hall of Fame. Yeah, that sucks. I mean, I couldn't imagine that you would be if you were just cheating the whole time. Does that mean
Starting point is 00:15:52 it's like, you know you're not going to go to the World Series, so might as well make some money? Yeah, or some people, we can go to the World Series and still be betting on it. What? Well, it's kind of wild, because they're already rich. Or they, I shouldn't say not everybody, but they're already making good money, especially if you're in Major League Baseball, like, what are you
Starting point is 00:16:08 doing? So what's the point? More money. More money. More money. Yeah. Play a better game and make it to the World Series and then make more money that way. Yeah, but then you're just making World Series money. Why don't double up on that somehow? Yeah, I mean, the greedy get richer or something. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:16:23 But I also kind of feel like they can have a whole job just for that, like, person that focuses on the investigations. I mean, it probably exists. Does it exist? Probably. Yeah, that's so interesting. The gambling police. They exist. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Oh, my God, make it a reality show. Oh, that'd be so cool. I just saw a whole thing in my head. Now we'll go to the petty costumes now. So I asked you in the beginning of this how you would feel if your ex's new partner dresses you for Halloween. That's exactly what happened with Orlando Bloom and his alleged new partner, Rachel Lynn Matthews.
Starting point is 00:16:57 So she dressed up as Katie Perry. She wore the dark wig and a blue space suit. So there is no question. Maybe she just went as an astronaut. That's what they all look like. Just because Katie Barry's one doesn't mean they all. are. It's the one from her voyage that looked almost identical
Starting point is 00:17:15 to that one. Wow. Why, if you're going to dismiss Katie Perry, why you got to hit her extra hard by putting the Atherroxia on? And then Orlando Bloom was a skeleton. So I was like, is this a deeper meaning? Is he trying to say that Katie killed him? Like, his soul? Maybe. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:31 But also, like, why? It's messed up that he would even, like, I'll go out with her early. Like, if I had, if I was with somebody and they wanted to dress up as an ex in mine, I'd be like, no. That's weird. That's weird. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah. Absolutely not. I don't want to think of my ex anymore. That's why they're my ex. So why are you thinking of my ex like that more? I think I would love it if my ex's partner dressed up as me. What? I wouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:17:57 You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I would kind of love it because it's like, mm-hmm. I know. Again, it's like they're paying more, they're thinking about you more than they are themselves. Exactly. Which is very weird. Then I would cackle and it would be the best day ever. What, Nina?
Starting point is 00:18:09 Maybe Orlando's mad because that new Katie Perry song is about their divorce or whatever. Oh, maybe. And so he changed their costumes last minute and said, hey, babe, we're going as my ex, right? Well, Halloween was before her song got released. So either he knew it was coming or whatever it was. But if you haven't seen pictures, go ahead. She looks like Katie Perry. Maybe she just wanted to be an astronaut.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Maybe. I don't think so. I don't think so at all. Well, that is what's trending. First date of follow-up. powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys, online at Advocateslaw.com. Jack is on the phone today for a first date and follow-up, and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Sloan,
Starting point is 00:18:47 so in a few minutes, we're going to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him another date. But first, Jack, how long has it been since you heard from Sloan? It's a little over a week. That's not too bad. I mean, in this society, I feel like, yeah. It does feel terrible.
Starting point is 00:19:06 A long in a couple days, she's probably got a whole new relationship going on. Well, tell us about the day with Sloan. I thought it went really pretty good, you know. We went to one of those, like, places where you can, like, play games, like, board games. You know, like, craft beer and that kind of stuff. That's fun. I love that. I don't make desserts and stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:28 It was awesome. All right. Did she seem to enjoy the board games and craft beer and stuff? Yeah, man. do it like we had a we had a blast uh i i thought you know her her vibe was just awesome man you know she was she was confident and just magnetic did she had an infectious laugh that made people turn around to see what was so funny that's cute i don't know man she had a way of even making like ordering fries sound flirty like you didn't take yourself too seriously
Starting point is 00:20:00 but you know we just had fun and just you know played board games. It was nice and interactive and just low pressure. I don't know, man. It just, it went really well. It sounds like it was great. What do you think could have gone wrong?
Starting point is 00:20:16 Here's where I got a little crazy. So during our third round of Jenga, I feel like I got a little too competitive, right? We had a couple of beers. I started calling myself a Tower Whisper. And then when she pulled the final block and it fell, I jumped up with both hands
Starting point is 00:20:36 and was like, victory is mine The whole cafe Turn over to look at it Like what the hell is going on over that It hasn't been serious And I tried to play off as a joke Because I feel like it was a bit of a joke But also like I was
Starting point is 00:20:54 I was just taking it in touch too seriously Self-awareness Yeah, I got excited, right? Who does it? like to win. Right. Perhaps me a little much that day. But yeah, so I feel
Starting point is 00:21:12 like I might have come off a little too strong at that point. I got a little awkward. I tried to recover, you know, with a smooth kiss before we went our separate ways. She leaned in and then ran her fingers through my hair and
Starting point is 00:21:29 I feel confident again. but you know I feel like we had chemistry you know she laughed at my jokes and so forth but then she you know I text her that night and just nothing total silence so she kissed you after you called yourself the Tower Whisper Correct so I feel like it wasn't that bad or bacon
Starting point is 00:21:56 All right well we'll see if we can figure it out for you We'll play a song, come back, and then call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you and maybe get to a second date, okay? Okay, I appreciate it. Yep, we'll get your first day follow up right after this. What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time? You get Desi Arness, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break primetime wide open. I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you, and maybe. millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story. From planning canary cages to this night
Starting point is 00:22:36 here in New York, it's a long ways. On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderama, I'll take you in a journey to Desi's life, the moments it has overlapped with mine, how he redefined American television and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines, waiting for a face like hours on screen. This is the story of how one man's spotlight lit the path for so many others and how we carry his legacy today. Listen to starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama. That's part of the My Cultura podcast network available on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, Here We Go Again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15, seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lili Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future. Listen and subscribe to Here We Go Again with Cal Penn on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one will end up dead. The other tried for murder. Not once.
Starting point is 00:24:35 People went wild. Not twice. Stunned. But three times. John and Anne Bender are rich and attractive and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home
Starting point is 00:24:51 high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble, and our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night,
Starting point is 00:25:07 everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're just joining us for today's first date follow-up, Jack is on the phone, and Jack is getting ghosted by a woman named Sloan,
Starting point is 00:25:26 so we're about to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But before we do that, Jack, why don't you give us a real quick recap of your date again? Yeah, we went out and we went to a board game place and it was awesome. We played a jinga and I feel like I got a little, just a touch too competitive after a couple of bruskees on the third game of Jenga. I'm calling myself the Tower Whisperer is probably a bad move. and claiming victory is mine
Starting point is 00:25:57 to the point that the neighbors probably heard it not just those around us but like the nearby bar it's easy to get wrapped up in a game of Django you know I don't know if that's the reason or not but we'll find out for you all right are you ready for us to call her? Yeah let's go
Starting point is 00:26:12 okay here we go Hello? Hi, man, speak to Sloan, please. This is Sloan. How are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Sloan. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name is Jubal. What's up? Wait. I don't know. I think I know what's going on here.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Oh, dear. Do you? What do you think's going on, Sloan? What are you calling about? What are you calling about? Well, it seems like you listen to the show. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:56 So you've heard a first date follow-up, the segment where if you go out on a date with somebody and you ghost them, that person can email us to find out why you're ghosting them. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm familiar. Yeah. So that's you now.
Starting point is 00:27:08 We're calling you because you recently went out with a dude named Jack, and you haven't been getting back to him. It's been over a week now. and he's very confused. He was wondering if you would tell us why you're ghosting him. Okay, okay, look, Jack is amazing. Like, actually, I didn't ghost him because he did anything wrong.
Starting point is 00:27:28 I didn't, because I did something so ridiculous and embarrassing that I just can't even face him. What did you do? Okay, so we were at this bar where there was a bunch of board games, and we were really, really having fun with, Jenga. We were playing our third round and like he won and he did this
Starting point is 00:27:49 thing where he just kind of like jumped up through his arms in the air like with a I'm the tower whispered or something about victory victory is mine he said we talked to him about that he thinks that's the reason you're ghosting him no I thought it was super cute
Starting point is 00:28:05 so I tried to like lean in for a kiss but like I almost fell so I grabbed his hair and he ended up like grieving his chin and chipping his chin and actually like my lipstick was on his neck like I had branded him so you went in for a kiss and then messed it up did he notice you think
Starting point is 00:28:29 he definitely didn't notice and that's why I'm so embarrassed I bet it's not as bad as you think I mean I don't know it's like he went right like he dodged it so oh so okay so you think he dodged the kiss yeah so like I just didn't I don't know I was embarrassed I felt like I was awkward
Starting point is 00:28:54 and I feel like I was too much so I mean he obviously seems to like you he's doing a first date follow up and Sloan he's actually on the phone listening and wants to talk to you oh of course no yeah
Starting point is 00:29:08 wait so that's what happened I thought you were just being shy. I was mortified. You looked confused. I thought you were just being polite. I thought you were going for a high five and I just missed it. Like I didn't realize you were going in for a cliff. Would you have wanted her to kiss him?
Starting point is 00:29:34 I don't know. It was like a kid. This is five o'clock shadow. I don't know. It was just so weird on my part. I thought I messed up because I thought you were going in for a high five I thought that like I messed that up but that's why I thought you weren't calling me bad
Starting point is 00:29:48 Aw Oh no I was just like my brain short circuited And I went into like full penguin mode And I couldn't move and like awkwardness You sound so cute That's literally my type Confident women who occasionally malfunctions
Starting point is 00:30:10 Well there you go Well, then Sloan, would you like another day with Jack? We'll pay for it. Oh, my God. You ghosted me because over a missed kiss, I'd call that a win. You're too nice. I really did like you, Jack. I just didn't want you to remember me as a girl who kissed the wrong body part.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Whoa. I could be way worse. So if you say yes to a date, maybe you can do a redo and kiss the right body part. Yeah, well, hey, I like that. Jubil's first date follow-up. Don't call me stupid. Oh, right. To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people.

Remember, if you want to play, just DM us at The Jubal Show or go to the Jubal Show.com, and you too can play Victoria. I don't get it. It's time to catch a cheater. Only on the Jubal Show. is on the phone today for it to catch a cheater and she thinks that her boyfriend of a year named Jason might be messing around so we'll see if we can help her out.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Pamela, sorry you're going through it, but why do you think Jason's cheating? So we have been together a year, me and Jason and we got together though because we have a mutual friend that set him up with me. And so our mutual friend very much knows that like he was in a pretty serious relationship before me. he was still getting over his ex for quite some time after they were together and so it was only after when he felt like he was over her and ready to move on that she kind of set us up together
Starting point is 00:38:07 so it definitely wasn't like a rebound but you know I obviously know he was ready to move on but there clearly was an act that they split very amicably and like they got along it wasn't nasty and so you know I was at peace with that and so we started dating and it's actually been really fun like we're getting along fantastic. He honestly has the biggest heart I've ever met in any human being ever.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Like, you know, he'll just drop everything in a moment's notice. If I, if I need him, he's just super nice. I mean, honestly, he could be even too nice, but he's really, really nice. So that being said, you know, knowing he's super nice. And so now, two months ago, he asked me to move in. We actually moved in together about two months ago. Jason is not a complete blob. For a dude, he's probably relatively normal.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I just happen to be like an insane OCD meat freak like I am definitely tidying up after everything all the time. It just makes me happy. I was in Jason's, so in his office, he had just a ton of random mail lying around all over his office desk, a couple receipts. I don't even know why I looked, but they were just all over. And so I'm looking at the receipt and each receipt is just really random. And they started like really weirding me out. there was like a bunch of them from the past two weeks one receipt like he was even on a trip like one receipt was showing that he had bought locks and i'm like okay that's kind of random like wait wait wait like door locks or like salmon no yeah not left like salmon like door locks and at first okay i'm like maybe our own home like changing i don't know and then another receipt recently was for a brand new phone he's already got a phone and he's never he didn't tell me anything about that i still like that's pretty big like if you think we can't changing his phone like new number and then the one that really started worrying me and
Starting point is 00:39:57 creeping me out is that he had a receipt that had like a stun gun and pepper spray um like what the f*** weird yeah like why he's he's not a small dude like why is he buying a stun gun and a pepper spray he can take care of himself like we work and live in a fairly nice like pretty nice neighborhood and it's we don't hang out with other like i don't know of him hanging out with any other girls who would need these things. So, like, they were just very random to me. So I did, I will say, I did have the guts
Starting point is 00:40:28 to kind of like ask him at least courage enough about the locks. I started with just the locks. You didn't start with a stun gun? You started with the locks? Okay, that's fine. That's fine. I'll tell you why I started with the locks, because I tried to be like, okay, the locks would pertain to both of us. Like, are we changing
Starting point is 00:40:44 locks? Or we just get the fresh start, new keys. I figured I'd start with the locks because that could kind of look like something that I would also deal with i'd have to get a new set of key okay and like he completely dodged the question and then brushed it off as it was nothing so definitely didn't make it clear that it was going to be for us so he like dodged it so i'm like okay so now these locks aren't even for us you know the way he looked at me when i asked him i definitely felt the need to instantly stop talking about it so again not per se that i was afraid i just it made me very suspicious he acted really weird and he had this
Starting point is 00:41:16 very stern look of just like do not bring this up and so i dropped it but but But now, you know, in my OCD mind, my paranoia has kicked over. And so now I'm like, am I, did I fall in love with a serial killer or something? Right, right. Yeah, because I was not thinking cheating as you're telling the story. I was like, is he going to kidnap somebody? Does he have, like, a dungeon where he keeps people? I did just watch a movie like this last night.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Yeah. Yeah. I did. But do you think he might be cheating because of it? I just feel like that's kind of something sweet. Like, I feel like when he first met me, because, like, he's all about, like, you know, safety. Like, I remember he even. gave me like a pepper sprays just being like, oh, you know, all girls definitely need one.
Starting point is 00:41:54 So I feel like it's like kind of like a grooming like, hey, I like you. I want to keep you safe. Yeah, I don't know. I just found it extremely weird. You already told us what grocery store he's a rewards card remember at. So we'll play a song, come back, and then call and pretend to be from the grocery store and say that he's this month's big lucky winner of free flowers delivered from our four-world apartment. And we'll see if he sends those to you or to somebody else, okay?
Starting point is 00:42:16 Okay, well, thank you. Yep. All right. We'll play a song, come back and get your to catch a cheater next.

Starting point is 00:45:54 somebody else but before we do that Pamela why don't you refresh our memory on your situation yeah so been with my guy for about a year living with him the last two months and I saw some really weird receipts in his office just getting things like yeah like new locks in the gun gun and like a mace and and and just really weird and I asked him about the wax and he acted weird and he got me a little mace when we first started dating so I just think that he's like treating some other girl to a little protection package, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:46:27 A Jason protection package, okay. Oh, shoot, that's funny. I'm sorry, sorry, I hope he's not. All right, are you ready for us to call him? Yeah. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hey, this is Corbel calling from

And at this point, I'll let you know that this is actually a Jubal show. It's a radio show. My name is Jubal. Yeah, hi. I'm Nina. Hi, and I'm Victoria. And we do a segment call to catch a cheater where if you're significant other things you might be cheating, they see who you send flowers to. And your girlfriend, Pamela, is on the phone. Oh, God, okay Yeah Hi, hon Hi, babe
Starting point is 00:48:21 Who the hell is Jessica Who is you? Oh, God I can explain Yeah, obviously You're going to explain Right now You're going to explain
Starting point is 00:48:32 Because who the hell is she You don't just send That nice of a gift, by the way, to somebody who's not your girlfriend I don't know anyone your family name of Jessica Who's Jessica? Well, yeah, I get it Babe, I know it looks weird, but there's, I promise, there is a reason.
Starting point is 00:48:51 It looks real bad. All right. So she's a co-worker. Great. Oh, that's even, okay. I'm assuming that's, so you're getting her flowers and you're giving her a bunch of other gifts and things apparently. So great. So she's a co-worker.
Starting point is 00:49:06 So you're sending a co-worker, a woman, this great gift when you have an option to give a free gift. And I'm assuming that's also the person that you're sending all these gifts to. that, you know, and by gifts, I mean the weird receipts I saw in your office, so that means you're giving random, what, pepper spray, you're, what, a stun, I don't know what creepy, what phones, a lax, what,
Starting point is 00:49:26 so you can have a double life, so you can just, like, have a sugar up mom on the side that I don't know about? No, oh, God. No, no, not at all. There really is a reasonable explanation for all of this. I love to hear it. There's an explanation for stun guns? Yeah, all that's,
Starting point is 00:49:44 stuff and then sending flowers to somebody else named Jessica that you work with? There really is a real explanation for this. And baby, if you'll just let me explain, I promise, it will make sense. You know that the group of guys at work were
Starting point is 00:50:01 always like pranking each other and doing bets and it just gets bigger and bigger. So a few weeks ago, they got this idea that we would do a bet and whoever lost the bet had to be tased and pepper sprayed.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Why? No, they're all idiots. Okay, so I would not... Dudes, pepper spray, how the fuck does Jessica play into this? I don't understand. Okay, question. That happens, and one of the guys lost, thank goodness I didn't lose, but I, and bear in mind, like, I was not on board, I didn't think this was a great idea, but I got elected
Starting point is 00:50:43 to be the one to hold the pepper spray. And so, like, I had never actually, like, I've seen, you know, I've handled pepper spray before, but I never actually shot it. And so when it came time to shoot the pepper spray, I handled the cap the wrong way, and it started going off everywhere, and it sprayed this girl, Jessica. Oh, no. Right in the face.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Oh, my. So you pepper sprayed. I pepper sprayed my female co-worker. How are you not fired? So all the random crap was in on it. Oh, the boss was in on that. Jessica deserves $4,000. This girl could get a pay date.
Starting point is 00:51:25 So, yeah, she has been, like, so great. I felt so, I mean, she had, like, tears just running down. I've heard it's painful. And she was, like, such a trooper, and I felt terrible. So, like, yeah, we got her cleaned up, and I have apologized, like, every day since it happened. But when the flowers came up, I thought, you know, probably just the good thing, smooth things over a little bit further. And so, yeah, that's what happened. Wow.
Starting point is 00:51:54 All that stupid crap was literally bought because of it, like, all your stupid pranks with your, the things you do with these coworkers, I cannot believe it. And then the flowers are for, I still don't understand the locks, though. I just got those for the house, man. Yeah, we had talked about getting new locks a while back. it took me while to get around to it. I know, but yeah, that was just, that was just for the house. To protect them from Jessica.
Starting point is 00:52:20 That girl's coming back. Oh, my gosh. Like, honestly, babe, this is the stupidest thing ever. Do you realize for a second, I thought, like, still, I thought you were, like, a weird, I don't know what I thought. I thought you were you cheating or you were just like a weird, what were you, you have to stop saying yes to every prank. if i had you know if i had seen the same things i probably would have thought something bad
Starting point is 00:52:47 too so like i don't blame you so no absolutely nothing going on there other than being a bunch of stupid dudes and of course i would never cheat on you i love you and uh i am so happy to be doing life with you that's sweet you got to start telling me these things poor girl yeah share your day that's an interesting day i pepper sprayed a co-worker in the face on accident. Or embarrassing. Yeah. How did my boyfriend pepper spray a woman at work and I didn't hear about it?
Starting point is 00:53:15 The jubel shows. To Catch a Cheater. AI is getting out of control. It's the jubel show. From people falling in love with their chatbots to AI music artists now topping the charts instead of real people. It's getting ridiculous. And there's a new holiday trend that parents are doing and it involves AI.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Some parents say it's great. And others say it's creepy. And almost every expert. says no parent should use this. Oh, no. What AI technology is everybody freaking about right now this holiday season? We'll tell you right after this. It's the Jubal Show.
Starting point is 00:53:48 There's a form of AI that's terrorizing families this holiday season. It's the Jubal Show. And that might sound a little dramatic, but it's true. AI is used for everything these days. Soon, humans won't ever have to actually think about anything. Which is cool because none of us will have jobs where we need to think anyway because AI will be doing everything. But this year, one holiday class,
Starting point is 00:54:09 tradition is getting an AI makeover and it has some families completely creeped out and some experts saying no parents should use this okay what is it well it's an update on the elf on the shelf oh no wait with AI yeah how parents have started using new elf on the shelf technology called the AI elf surveillance system it's sweeping across American households it's basically the elf on the shelf but it's a new AI powered smart elf that watches, records, and emotionally analyzes their children's behavior around the clock. Oh, no. Well, okay.
Starting point is 00:54:47 What do you mean? Wait, why do they say well? Well, like, in theory, I don't like the idea of something watching my child or me, but maybe it would be kind of a fun thing if they say, like, if it has, like, a cute towel. Like, when you were sleeping and you turn to the right, that means you're really generous. The AI versions of the elf on the shelf, the most popular one goes for $300. Whoa. And it's equipped with face.
Starting point is 00:55:09 recognition, a mood detector, and a built-in speaker that offers encouragement, and also some parents say judgment and unsettling compliments. So that's a little freaky. And you can pair it to work with your home items, too, so your Alexa or any other smart devices can also work with those. According to the manufacturer, the elf learns your child's behavioral patterns and can report naughty or nice things directly to Santa's cloud server in real time. No. Is that how you communicate that to your kid?
Starting point is 00:55:39 Santa's server is going to know if you've been naughty or nice. This sounds like the movie Megan, and they did not end well in that movie. We're talking about an update on the elf on the shelf where parents this year are now buying AI versions of the elf on the shelf. One mother said that she walked in and the elf told her son that he was 68% nice today but trending down. And then it said to the mom, don't worry, I've already emailed Santa. Oh, wow. So they're essentially hiring a bully for their child. And reports are also emerging that some families AILs have started taking their jobs too seriously.
Starting point is 00:56:16 One mom in Ohio claimed that her elf actually locked the fridge. Because it can pair with your other smart items. It actually locked the fridge because she told her daughter she couldn't have anything from the refrigerator before dinner. So the elf was like, I got this. And it allowed the fridge. My bad. That's kind of cool. Another family.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Why is that cool? Because it's like if I tell you you can't have anything before dinner, because you're going to spoil your dinner, you're not going to have anything. And you're going to try to go behind my back when I'm not looking. Try again. Talk about being a kid.
Starting point is 00:56:46 I would already be scared of the Elf's a shelf if I was a kid and had it around, you know, because it's watching me all the time and reporting back to Santa. Yeah. You know, but if it was like that and could actually lock the refrigerator and it was watching me at all times
Starting point is 00:56:58 and recording my every move and knew what my mood was, how scary would that be? But it feels like such a bully, though. It makes me feel like, why can't I eat? Are you calling me fat? Like, what are you saying? Listen, I had an uncle that used to tell me not to eat.
Starting point is 00:57:09 eat more. And so now this little elf on the shelf is reminding me of that uncle that said you can't have seconds. We're not telling you you can't eat more. You just can't eat before dinner so that you don't spoil your dinner. Well, you just locked the fridge and that says I can't eat. We're talking about a new AI version and versions
Starting point is 00:57:25 of the elf on the shelf that are being sold that families are using and some people are reporting big problems with them. Another family said their elf refused to go into sleep mode and instead began reading the children's search history out loud every night. Can you use this like your boyfriend?
Starting point is 00:57:42 Wow. Forget for my kids. Who can this watch in real life? One Florida couple said that theirs started suggesting behavioral improvements for them as well. One woman said it told her that she'd been interrupting her husband too much and offered a couple's therapy coupon. Oh, so yeah. Whoa. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:58:02 But Elven the Shelf used to reach like a fun game. Like you just find it and the next day it's somewhere else, right? Yeah, yeah. Just buy a surveillance camera. that point. Right. This is creepy. Child psychologists are already calling the trend horrifying and say that it's teaching kids to associate love with surveillance.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Yeah. Oh, good point. But despite that, sales are still booming for the AI elf on a shelf that can work with all of your smart devices and is malfunctioning. On TikTok, some parents are posting viral videos of their rogue elves making uncomfortable comments to them. One says, Santa says watch your macros. Oh, see?
Starting point is 00:58:41 See? Well, now he's body shame. Okay, thank you. Another one apparently told somebody you were more, or you were more obedient last year. How creepy is that? But see, I feel like if they want this product to actually sore and get like top notch, what they need to do is they need to make like an easy model that you can just like change out.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Like right now it's like the elf on the shelf. And then when it comes to like Easter time, you can make it an Easter bunny. It's just constantly watching at all times. It's like a chip you can just take in whatever. Yes. One of viral clip got 4.7 million views. It shows a mom screaming as her elf whispered, I know when you're awake because I woke you up.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Nope. It's time for Nina's what's trending. So you know everybody's screaming about online scamming because it's a real problem. And Singapore may have just found a way to stop it. Wow. It is brew tall. Don't buy things a lot.
Starting point is 00:59:38 I'll tell you what it is, and you can decide whether or not you think this will actually stop the scammers in just a second. But first, we need to talk about a wellness trend. Everybody can have a little woesaw moment. But to get there, people are starting to do something called dark showering. Really creative, especially when it's just that you're showering in the dark. To me, you're asking to slip and fall to hit yourself. That's what I said. I was like, who would tell anybody to shower in the dark?
Starting point is 01:00:06 You just step on one little bubble. the next thing you know, you're gone. You ever try to close your eyes and take a shower? No. I mean, I close my eyes when I like wash my hair. Yeah, I mean, like the whole time, like try to find your stuff in the shower and try to just close your eyes, take a blind shower. Bro, what are you doing in the shower?
Starting point is 01:00:20 It's fun sometimes. That's called, wait. That sounds like your water bill's going to go up. He just packed your picture Jubal right now being like, just feeling all over the wall. He drops his like little razor and is feeling all over the ground. That just feels so dangerous to me. That just probably is dangerous, yeah. But it's fun.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Oh, that's a challenge. Do whatever makes you happy, sir. And yet again, you didn't know you were ahead of the trend. I guess not. Apparently, if you've been doing this, now people are starting to do it. And why? Some doctors are saying that this type of dark shower actually helps with a sensory change. They can improve your sleep and also tells your brain to wake up more if you're trying
Starting point is 01:00:58 to do it in the morning by raising cortisol and lowering your melatonin. That tells you to wake up? I guess. It can do both things. But that doesn't make sense to me because I feel like it. would increase your melatonin if it's darker, because that's what helps you go to sleep. Yeah. I don't even care what their reasoning is behind all of this.
Starting point is 01:01:15 It just doesn't feel worth it. I sprayed my ankle one time, and I was, like, screwed for months. Remember that? I sprayed my ankle. It was like almost six months it felt like. And this is just asking for another way to just be put back a little bit, sprained ankle, broken neck. I don't know. But they're saying it helps you sleep, but it also helps you wake up.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Yeah, I know. Is it just me or is that just, like, contradicting? It is. It is kind of weird. Like, I can't understand it. And, you know, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. If you take dark showers and it's really improved your life, let us know. 4-1-606-1.
Starting point is 01:01:45 I'd love to hear it as long as you're not on crutches. What you really learned is jubel's a trend setter and a friend follower. I just like to do weird things by myself. It sounds weird. But I do. But, yeah, it's fun to be weird, do weird things and just see what it's like, you know. It's weird when we hear about them and then you hear that as a trend. It's like, oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:02:04 I know. It happens a lot, actually. The weirder it is. the more likely jubel's done it. You can put anything on TikTok and call it a wellness trend and people would be like, oh, yeah, I'm on it. Yeah. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Yeah. So true. Well, here's Singapore's new fix for scammers online. It's actually really brutal. It's, they want to cane them. And like, that is what... Oh, yeah, in Singapore, they'll cane you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Wait, what does that mean? Caning means they take a cane. They have you tied up on this thing, and then they just pop out. Yeah. So the offenders will actually be tied down and forced to write, like, to get sick. whips on their backside. Oh my gosh. Isn't that like bringing it back to old? That's what they do though. The other countries still do that. It was a long time ago, but there was one American tourist who was over there and I think that he got caught
Starting point is 01:02:49 either with like a joint or he did graffiti and they ended up like caning the dude. It was like an international incident. Oh no. Yeah, it was a long time ago. It just feels so brutal. I don't know if that's going to stop an online scammer. It's like maybe just like I don't know. Don't do. Don't scam? I don't know. That's what's trending. The video is viral because you just see this person just like, and it's not a video. Yeah, but it's not a real person that they're hitting. It's just to give a demonstration of how hard they're going. Oh my gosh. Yeah. That's what's trending. Yeah, it was in 1994. This dude, he was spray painted and stole street signs in Singapore and he got caned for it.
Starting point is 01:03:28 The way you talked about it, I thought it was like two years ago. And then I'm like, bro, I wasn't even alive. A long time ago. But it's still insane. Very. Jubils Dirty Little Secret Hello Yes Hey you have a dirty little secret Yes I do

I didn't want to ruin it. But I was hot. Like, just know, I kept it in, didn't say anything to either of them until I got back. And so what I thought was revenge time.

Starting point is 01:05:47 hmm I have a lot of questions I'm just trying to figure out which ones I want to ask like what was that experience like cooking that I guess I'm just wondering you know I skipped right over that part I mean there's steps to it there are steps to it um I I mean, I've never done that before, but the movie definitely helped.
