Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: And I must say what you do
Speaker: Bye!
Speaker: What's going on, everybody? Happy Monday. And welcome to Nonsense Go Nonsense. I'm Glick. Tony's MIA. I don't know where he's at. There's a surprise there. Jeff's not here on Monday, so I'm going to hang out for a little bit and shoot this shit solo. Oh, Lone Ranger style, if you will. Oh, my God, it was a Monday.
Speaker: If you guys aren't already, go ahead and check us out on all the social medias, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. And don't forget, you can enjoy this live, Monday, Wednesdays, and Saturdays on YouTube and Twitch. And you can't join us live, he goes to us on Spotify, everywhere you listen to podcasts, anytime you'd like, wherever you'd like. Go get us a follow, give us a like, and give us a share if you'd be so kind. We'd greatly appreciate that.
Speaker: Yes. I don't know where the guy starts. Well, I know where Jeff is, but I don't know where Tony D is. He messed me about an hour and a half before the show. I'm not going to be able to do the show tonight, so we need to reschedule. We're good. We don't need to reschedule. But yeah, it's been a Monday. A little hungover today. A little hungover today.
Speaker: A certain podcast invited me on their show last night. Mr. Sunday Night Smoke celebrating his 100th episode. So yeah, I couldn't have said I had to go hang out with my guy. So I'm some love. So shout out to him for 100. But we got a little crazy, got a little rambunctious. And we've had this conversation, how he's been trying to rope me in and sucker me in.
Speaker: make me look like a fool. He almost got me last night. He almost got me. But I was ready. I was prepared for his goofy ass. But all in all, we had a pretty good time last night. Tony was there. A couple of ladies that are on his normal panel.
Speaker: and then we had some random guests pop in and hang out. Go ahead and you can check that out on YouTube. Sunday Night Smoke podcast on YouTube. Go check out the replay. Go give them a follow if you be so kind. Go show some love. If you will. It's going to be a little bit of a short show tonight. I just wanted to come on for a little bit because we got all kinds of things going on.
Speaker: Go to our Facebook page and Instagram and I think Twitter. Recently a magazine did an article on the show. That was pretty cool. That's published and out and there's links on all our social media for that.
Speaker: And it was a pretty cool experience. I've never been interviewed before, so a little cringy. I could probably do better, but you know, I'll be more prepared for next. But still, it was, it was a, it was a cool experience and, uh, you know, kind of shocking and surprising. I didn't think that anybody was paying any attention to what we're doing here. So, but, uh, it's a voyage was a voyage, Ohio magazine. So they like to, um,
Speaker: I like to do interviews and get to know like local entrepreneurs and artists or musicians, creators, you know, whatever, and kind of support the local area, which is cool. You guys can watch the show, you know, I'm big on supporting local talent or buying local or anything like that. So it was, that was pretty cool to have that little, little spotlight on me or on us, whatever.
Speaker: Of course the guys critiqued me because there was only one picture of them, even though I asked for pictures and they wouldn't give me no pictures. And they don't take pictures like I do. So it wasn't like they had a whole album to choose through and find a whole bunch of pictures.
Speaker: I digress, still good articles, still cool to get us out there. And of course they should, they included all of the places you can find us and little clickable links. Just click right on them and boom, they're on our YouTube or on our Instagram or wherever.
Speaker: But a lot of things going on. Wednesday night, guys, make sure you tune in and hang out. We'll have Maddie James here from Blacktop Mongeau. You know who they are. We play their music all the time. We've been playing them for the last two years. And almost two years. We're coming up on two years on this show. Holy shit. Holy crap. I got to look back and see when the actual anniversary is of when we did our first show. Oh, man.
Speaker: That's been a gift that I that's that's kind of a dream gift for me and then it's huge. So I'm so fucking excited for that little nervous. I'm a lot nervous. Let's be let's be honest. I'm a lot fucking nervous. But the guys are getting ready to kick off another tour. So we'll get to see where they're going to be at or coming near you. Make sure you guys go check them out. Show them some love. They're fucking amazing live fan. I mean, give it a view.
Speaker: Our Borderline are a fan of their music that we play on here. Check them out a lot because they're fucking awesome. It was a fantastic show and I went to see them. I cannot wait for them to come back to Ohio. So I can hopefully go see them again and I will drop them.
Speaker: Speaking of bands, I'm trying to get on the show, trying to get over and out on the show, but I know they seem to be, they're getting a little busy too, which I'm happy for the guys. They got a lot of stuff going on. I had the new album that just came out and all that jazz. So lots of things going on and a lot of things in the works. People say I'm not busy and I have no life. I never stopped, dammit.
Speaker: That's the problem. But Saturday night should be an interesting show, so definitely tune in for that one too. I think we're gonna get smoking here with us hanging out. Various other guests, maybe we'll get Rock Lee popping in. Shout out to Rock Lee, he's moving.
Speaker: He likes to move but he's moving out of state. He's going back home as he said on the show. He's moving back to Utah. I think he was loading up maybe today judging by his social media. I think he was loading up today. So good luck on the move and be safe. But
Speaker: Fucking Tornadoes and shit all around tonight Everybody's freaking out in my house my oldest one. She's a little bit of a drama queen. She called me there's tornado watches and Sirens and everything going off be careful
Speaker: But then I get hold of it. She's like, she's sitting on the couch watching the news, getting more and more paranoid and freaked out. Austin, calm down. It's not that big a deal. She's like, you don't understand there's tornadoes and everything. Again, not that big of a deal. It'll be all right. We got a couple.
Speaker: interior places we can hunker down if we had to. Take the things that are important, the Xbox, my TV, laptop. She's not paying any attention to me. I thought I was going to get a reaction or get something thrown at me.
Speaker: I keep forgetting that I recently put earrings back in for the first time in probably 18 years this weekend, and I'm still getting used to them. And I keep hitting them and catching them on shit because I'm not used to being there. Changes are always good.
Speaker: But yeah, like I said, lots of cool things happening. Lots of, lots of cool things happening for people around us. Like I said, with broccoli and the moon and smoke storm, big things as always. Um, Tony is doing Tony thing. He's so hard to keep up with. I don't know anybody does it. He's, he's, he's a, he's a hard one to keep up with.
Speaker: I think he's going to continue his football talk, rolling with the XFL, which I might try to get a little bit more involved with. I don't know if you guys have watched the XFL. I watched a game in the half last night, and it's rough to watch. It's not very good. It's very, you know, no disrespect to the guys out there on the field playing the game or anything like that.
Speaker: But there's a reason why they didn't make it in the NFL or never made it to the NFL. I guess you could, you know, depending upon the case, but maybe it'll get better. Maybe it'll get better as the season goes. I think it's still, you know, they had the season a couple of years back and it was cool. It was fun to watch.
Speaker: Um, and then they had a hiatus and the rock just bought it. So yeah, they're trying to do a lot of things and be innovative in certain ways. Um, get away from regular football, you know, the NFL and establish a name for themselves, but, um, there's a lot going on and, and, and the gameplay is. They want to speed it up, but it's, um,
Speaker: quite there yet. There are a lot of cool, like I said, there are a lot of cool things. When they score a touchdown, they can go for one, two, or three points. And there's no field goals. I've never, I haven't seen anybody take a field goal. But you line up different spots of the field. I think one point is like on the three yard line or whatever, two yard line. Two points is like the five or 10.
Speaker: And then 15 or 20 yards back for three points after you score a touchdown. So. Which is pretty cool. But. It's not what those guys are used to, so you got a little feeling out and figuring out process. And I didn't notice yesterday. So this is only the first week I've watched it, but.
Speaker: That fucking defensive player screwed up on a play and they yanked him. Put him on the bench and put somebody else in right there on the spot. I was like, holy damn. You're not getting any, any breaks. Maestro, what's going on, brother? Yeah. It was, it was very long day, Mark.
Speaker: A very long day and I'm waiting. Excuse me for it to. To be over. To say the least. But yeah, one man show tonight like I said, I don't know where Tony is on. Jeff is typically not here on Monday nights. I figured I might have a chance of him popping in tonight. I think his wife is still out of town.
Speaker: It was just a long day. I was hungry. I woke up late Nikki Nikki called me. I woke up like a half -hour late Nikki called me. Well, are you still sleeping? Yeah Whatever weather's been shit today up here, but uh Just a Monday just a Monday That's all
Speaker: Yeah, I, Smoke, like I was saying earlier, Smoke celebrated his 100th episode. So I, Nicky was out of town and I was just sitting here not doing shit. And I was like, yeah, well, you know, him and I were talking, he was like, bring your ass up. I was like, all right, I got nothing else I'm doing tonight. Typically Smoke shows only like an hour, maybe two hours. I think it was almost four hours last night.
Speaker: But it was a good time. I drank a little bit more than I should have on a Sunday night, especially after I was still recovering from Friday night when Nikki and I went out. I don't know what you're talking about either. Neither one of us drank or got drunk Friday night.
Speaker: I'm telling you, craft beer hits differently. Obviously, a lot of craft beers are a little bit higher in alcohol content than your typical, regular domestic beers or whatever.
Speaker: Well, I mean, we're, we're, we're getting up there, man. I, two 31, I think. So we're, we're cranking them out. We're rocking and rolling. I don't have any, uh, um, I don't have any quit in me. I can't speak for the other guys, but I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully we'll keep doing what we're doing together. Yeah. Hopefully by 500, maybe we'll be, uh, getting a little bit into the sponsorship, maybe some, some more interviews on our, under our belts.
Speaker: I do need to send you a hat. I wonder how much it would cost for me to ship you a hat over there. But I lost my whole ass. Oh yeah. Craft beer. It hits you differently and it affects you differently. Like even the next day, cause, um,
Speaker: I can drink a lot of beer and still get up the next day and function somewhat normally. Saturday, I didn't even want to open my eyes, let alone anything else. No shit. Especially you. I had to drive back to Grove City. I know you didn't. You had to drive your butt back to Grove. Titty. What up, motherfucker?
Speaker: what's going on Chris. Um but uh yeah, I don't know man. I mean, I that's some tasty crap. I mean, the beers were good. I don't think we had a bad one and you like all yours. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I don't think we had a bad beer. Actually, I found one that I really **** like. then I was able to finally try. We uh
Speaker: Brewdog is a brewery here in Ohio and they have a Columbus Blue Jackets beer that they made. It's called Cannon Blast. And I've been wanting to try it, but I didn't want to pay for a six pack because they're a little bit expensive. But the one bar we went to was a bar slash beer store. So they sold them and the bartender, she was there, she was like.
Speaker: I'll do go get it. I got room in the cooler. I'll just go get it and put it in there for you. So that was pretty fucking badass. I appreciate that. And that was kind of my, I appreciate you saying that because that was kind of my goal. And I've said that a lot to people when they, when they asked me.
Speaker: or when they ask me like, what's the show about? Nothing really, everything and nothing at all, all at the same time. But it's an escape from all the bullshit and all the craziness in the world, or just wind down at the end of the day. Now, for us, we all have our own reasons for doing it. I just, you know, behind the mic is or in front of a camera, whatever is always kind of in my happy places where I can
Speaker: Vent and shit like that. And I know Jeff feels the same way Is it really Um So it's you know, I look forward to coming on here and doing the show even if I do this show by myself, you know Generally just start out first 20 minutes 30 minutes of the show. I'll you know until you guys start floating in and then
Speaker: Excuse me, and then I'll just chat with you guys shit. I mean I got stuff I could talk about Obviously, I want to talk about some things coming up and some things that have happened and And whatnot, but I mean, I like getting you guys involved, you know Mark and Chris You guys have been around probably the longest out of any of our viewers, you know, you know, I'll shoot your shit with you guys all night
Speaker: Um, but you know, I always kind of have something in my back pocket just in case the guys can't show up. I'll pull up some news articles or something that I can kind of banter on a little bit. Um, I do have a topic that I want to talk about, but I just can never seem to get the guys here all at the same time. Uh, I didn't know that. Yeah. I think Rudolph is a, is an Ohio based brewery. They're all over the place out here.
Speaker: Um, I was telling Nikki, they even have a non, they have a non -alcoholic mix pack of their, of their brew dog beers. That would be cool to like, just to try it. You don't want to necessarily get drunk. That's a cool idea. Craft beer companies. Try not to brew dog. That's awesome. Look at you getting all this free advertisement. Um, trying to see.
Speaker: Maybe there they look like here.
Speaker: Oh, they are based out of Columbus. Okay. That's what I thought, but, um, that I can't avoid. This was really good. Amen. I appreciate, I appreciate that market. That doesn't mean a lot when, when, when, you know, you guys.
Speaker: enjoy the show and you enjoy hanging out when you can come and hang out with us live. I listen to the show all the time myself. I'm a little bit behind. I just started listening to the newer episodes because I'm about 50 or 60 episodes behind. I like to hear how much they change.
Speaker: I was listening to one, it might've been episode 153 or 63 or something like that. And I wanted to, and then I popped up to the most recent one and the sound quality on my end has gotten a million times better. And I think it's going to continue to get better. I bought some soundproofing foam. I'm going to buy some more so that I can kind of get my area right here where my
Speaker: computer and my microphone and everything like that is kind of backed up against it. Yeah. Oh yeah. And that's the other thing. I mean, when we changed platforms and we went from HAPS to StreamYard, there was a huge difference in quality and sound and everything like that. So I mean, we continue to get better and better.
Speaker: Jeff and Tony do Jeff and Tony. I'm trying to make my end better. But no, ultimately, when Jeff and I started this, that was one of our big discussions that we had is that we want to have fun.
Speaker: We don't want it to be uber serious. We're going to have our serious moments. We're going to have our times where things get a little out of sorts. Last week, we did an hour and some change on political conversation, which is something that we don't typically do. That was one of our number one rules. But it was a conversation that
Speaker: was relevant and between the three of us, we had a pretty good conversation and we weren't yelling and fussing and fighting and everything else. So, you know, every once in a while, politics are gonna come up, but they're inevitable. They are inevitable, unfortunately. But now we try to have fun, man. I don't take this too seriously. Again, I don't want to speak for the other two guys, but I don't. I'm just here having fun, hanging out.
Speaker: I take it seriously to a point, but that's just. I know the amount of work and effort that I put into it behind the scenes, so. And everything. Yeah, I appreciate that work and Lord knows.
Speaker: you know, we're talking to you guys and chit -chatting with you guys. I mean, Lord knows I've been through some shit, you know, since I started Way Back Home Barricope. And I didn't have an outlet. This was my outlet. And I know that, you know, some of our listeners or viewers or whatever you want to, you know, fans, friends, whatever, they've gone through some shit. I mean, life changing shit and
Speaker: and they were, you know, it's cool that you guys, you know, got a place to come hang out, fucking forget about all that bullshit. And I mean, with our, with our, and Todie and I were talking about this, I think we kind of brought it up last night on Smoke Show as well. We're starting to develop a nice little cast of, of,
Speaker: uh personalities on the show with with um random rick popping on the show and uh chris clue he's been here a couple times he said he wants to come back you know i've given him an open door green light he gets an invite so he can come whenever he wants cam's been on here uh rocky's been on here uh sunday night smoke you know um
Speaker: my, my broster, you know, so we, we get an interesting little flow of characters too, that we all have fun with and hang out. Right. Yeah. And that's cool. I like to, you know, it's, it's, it's cool to know that, you know, that when you, when somebody's going through some shit, they can come and get away from it and hang out with us for a little bit. And it kind of takes your mind off of it.
Speaker: Uh, Cam, you know, Kim's been going through some shit and he said the same thing. He came in here the other night. He was like, I just need to hang out for a few minutes. Cause you know, he's, he's got some shit going on right now, personally. Um, I won't put his business out there. I know he'll come in and speak on it, you know, if he was here. Um, but he looks forward to the show because any, I know he loves coming on here and he's got so much fucking love for the show. It's crazy.
Speaker: We were just talking about Monster Jam. Was that last last week? I think my oldest daughter said that if they came to town, she wanted to go with Nick. He's like, oh yeah, I'm not. She's gonna pay us. Monster Jam is fun though. It's a good time. You gotta get you gotta get in touch with your inner hillbilly. I'm from Pennsylvania. Don't stop but you can always touch this hillbilly.
Speaker: But I mean, you know, sometimes you can touch your inner hillbilly. I know, but that's Amish, that's not Hillbilly. I'm not Amish. Oh, what did the Browns do now? The Browns hire Bill Musgrave, a senior offensive advisor amid other moves. Who the hell was Bill Musgrave?
Speaker: I wouldn't get somebody that will help Kevin Stefanski make some fucking decent offensive plays that I'll be happy with that. Uh, more tweets with muskers. Last three seasons as California's offensive coordinator. Okay.
Speaker: but he also has 12 years of experience in the NFL, including three seasons within Minnesota where he worked with. Oh, okay. All right. Cool. Be interested to see where that goes. If it goes anywhere. I'm always nice to her. What are you talking about? Chris said, Chris said, look, be nice to your woman. I mean,
Speaker: No, you can't There's tornadoes and you have four flat tires you might try to go back to PA This is sure your stuff
Speaker: But, um, yeah, how was, how was, uh, how was Monster Jam, Chris? I haven't been in years. I think the last time I went, my buddy Kevin and I went and he works for Pepsi and it was a nationwide arena here in town. And we had the, uh, we, um, sat in the Pepsi box like that, the VIP box or owners, like, you know, talk about like where you get food and drink and alcohol and everything's up there and it's already covered and paid for.
Speaker: And we went and ate like kings and drank like heathens and watched Monster Jam from the box. So that was pretty cool. We took my daughter when she was younger as well. The county fair that we always go to.
Speaker: uh, the Hartford fair, they, they, I guess they started doing monster trucks some years back. Now it's not monster jam, but it's like, uh, whatever that, uh, monster trucks that, uh, like big foots in or whatever. So there, there were legit monster trucks. It's just, you're not getting to see like grave digger or maximum max D or monster motor. Uh, you know, any of those guys, but it's still a good time. So, but.
Speaker: Now I need one piece. Why'd you all eat one piece? Because what? But it's always a good time, man. Monster trucks, motocross, all that stuff like that. It's always fun. It's always like a fun day out because usually it's like in the middle of the afternoon or early evening. So you can still go to that.
Speaker: then go get dinner, whatever. But I don't know when monster jumps coming back. I haven't seen him here fucking ever. But. So speaking about speaking of people. Being from other places. West Virginia is trying to get West Virginians to come back.
Speaker: And, uh, their, uh, West Virginia Senate passed a bill Monday that would give $25 ,000 in tax credits to former residents who moved back to the state to work. They have to, uh, to be eligible. So I don't know if this is a $25 ,000 tax credit or whatever. Um, I was just kind of half -assed reading up on it, but, um,
Speaker: You have to live and work there. So I don't know if like, I don't know, obviously Mark, you're not from the States, but Chris, I don't know if you've ever been to West Virginia. Really ain't no rhyme or reason for anybody to live in West Virginia. There's not a whole lot going on in West Virginia. Even in one of their bigger cities, Charleston, West Virginia, it's still rural and country as fuck.
Speaker: I'm not a whole lot going on there except for the college. But yeah, barely. So I don't know if this is like $25 ,000 tax credit for individuals or how this works or whatever. But to be eligible, you have to live and work in West Virginia for at least 10 years or were born in the state. They had to live outside of the state for at least 10 years. So I mean, are we OK back there? No.
Speaker: I told you I could have gotten that stuff for you. I'm just doing it little by little. Call yourself. But I guess this is the first time that West Virginia has done this because in the last few years, so I guess you don't have to use the full tax credit. You can actually, unused portions can be applied to futures. I also have another whole bag of cups in my car.
Speaker: Are you talking to me or the kids? A few years back they tried to beef up West Virginia's sagging population. The Department of Tourism is offering $12 ,000 cash plus free passes for a host of outdoor adventures to remote workers to move to certain areas of the state. So like if you work from home and you're not from West Virginia,
Speaker: $12 ,000 cash plus, thanks. What do you want this one? Wherever. I got the kids' hooks in their bathroom now. Yeah. So I mean, if you want to put it in our bathroom, then we'll actually have a spot to hang our towels. Right. Cause I'm pretty sure you pee on my towel every time you pee. Well, yeah, because I aim for it. I pee all over that stand and everything. You pee in splashes.
Speaker: part and everything. I'm marking my territory. Yeah, I did. Somebody was calling a dinosaur Saturday night. Texas and Florida.
Speaker: do. That's why a lot of people are leaving California and New York and states like that that have really high property taxes or state taxes and shit like that and they're going to live in Texas and Florida and everything like that because I don't think Florida has a state income tax and I'm not quite sure what it is but I mean
Speaker: Just when I moved from Ohio to South Carolina 15 years ago or whatever, when I left Ohio, I was making $16 an hour. And then I got a job down in South Carolina temporarily where I was only making $10 an hour. But I was bringing home double a month when I was bringing home here in Ohio just because the taxes were so different in South Carolina compared to Ohio.
Speaker: you know granted the cost of living was a little bit higher in certain areas in Charleston but you know it was it was a little bit more affordable because their taxes they weren't fucking raping they're like for me right now I pay city taxes for New Albany, NERC
Speaker: I think Columbus and I also pay a nerd city schools. It's not a lot. It's nothing crazy. It's not, it's not like, it's not like, you know, it's breaking the bank to pay city taxes for three or four different locations, but it's still, it still sucks. And it's still kind of a kick in the dick when you look at your paycheck, but, um,
Speaker: But I guess West Virginia is just trying to get people to come back, you know, at the end of the day. I mean, they're literally offering $12 ,000 in cash plus free passes to outdoor adventures. And there are a lot of cool things to do in West Virginia, outdoor wise, cabins and mountains and caves and stuff like that. But there's no reason to live there. I'm sorry. Unless you're
Speaker: right out of deliverance, the hills have eyes, the wrong term type peoples. Sorry, West Virginia, but it is what it is. The truth hurts. And I'm here to tell the truth.
Speaker: But it says that from 2010 to 2020, and this is, I guess, I guess this is why they're trying to do it and bring more people back to West Virginia, because they lost a greater percentage of its residents than any other state in those 10 years. The population dropped like 3 .2%, or about 60 ,000 people left the entire state.
Speaker: But it happens because they, you know, unfortunately West Virginia, that's something bleeding. I can't figure out what it is. It smells like, where did you get it from? In my stuff. Oh, I mean, what do you want me to, you want me to start smelling everything? Cause I'll find it. It smells good. It smells like body spray. But a lot of it has to do with, you know, because
Speaker: Unfortunately, states like West Virginia and even some parts of Kentucky, they've relied on the coal mines or the industrial areas, steel and whatnot. And there's a serious decline and there's no work. I mean, still mills are shutting down. Coal mines are shutting down. So people have to go find jobs elsewhere. So they leave.
Speaker: So West Virginia is now the only state with fewer residents than it had in 1950. So, I mean, just, I seen the headline and I was like, oh, that's kind of funny. But a little bit more serious than I thought it was going to be. They're really having some issues.
Speaker: I don't think she's being racist. Yeah. I remember you talking about that. Like your taxes and and and what your food prices um
Speaker: It wasn't like your electric and shit like that just went, just went through the fucking roof. How do they expect people to live? See, that's kind of the polar opposite. You know, people are leaving West Virginia because there's no jobs or anything like that. You know, your, your country is just, I mean, call a spade a spade. They're graping you. They're graping the hell out of you. Prison great. It's not good.
Speaker: I stopped at the gas station today, get beer. And there was a couple older gentlemen in there talking. And they were excited that our gas prices was at $289 a gallon. So was I after being in Pennsylvania. Huh? So was I after being in Pennsylvania. Yeah. But I mean, that's just still not cheap. It's kind of expensive. It's $289 at Sheets and Grove City.
Speaker: 389 389 when I left today. When I lived in Charleston. Uh, what time can you get a ride there? Huh? I don't know. Yeah, I can't take you. I'll be at work. Yeah, Nicky's gonna be at work. I don't get up work until 330. Can Bailey take you there or something?
Speaker: In our money, it's like, wow, it's $5 a gallon per mark. Yeah. Uh, out in, uh, England, Britain. I'd say it was 12 for Jay in Italy earlier this year. Um, but, uh, I mean, when I lived in Charlotte and again,
Speaker: When I lived in Charleston, gas was always like 50 cents, 60 cents cheaper, uh, down there than what it was up here in Ohio. All right. Thank you. Who are you talking to?
Speaker: yes my business because you told me to find a ride i found a ride who's giving you a ride yeah are you guys leaving already dating yeah no they're trying to talk to people i don't talk to anybody like that outside of nikki i am going to start talking to tony and jeff like that though now well actually that's a lot jeff and i tell each other we love we love each other after every show
Speaker: So yeah, that's that's just. I really like that pressure, but I can't wear that one. What's up? I gave her one of my extra hoodies buggy. Yes. It's just wow. But I mean, like I said, people are it's not the Texas or anything. There's no jobs in West Virginia, unfortunately, because of what West Virginia is known for.
Speaker: You know, the same thing happened like up in Cleveland years ago. I don't know. It was a, it was a lot of industrial stuff up in Northeast Ohio and a lot of those companies are shutting down over the years. So, you know, fortunately other businesses and stuff like that have moved to Ohio for whatever reason. So, I mean, we still have jobs and everything like that. So, you know,
Speaker: But yeah, I mean, it's wild to, what the hell just happened? Here we go. To see. Did you feed her since you came home? No, because she, I fed her this morning when I got up because obviously I was letting her. And then she still had food when we left. She didn't really eat it. So she ate when Austin got home, I'm assuming.
Speaker: Okay. I didn't know how, I didn't want to like fill her bowl up. You know, like two hours later, I didn't know how often you fed her or anything like that. I'm trying to watch it, but like how are, have you started episode three? I'm like middle in
Speaker: There's something else I've seen that I wanted to kind of oh Hey mark, this is right up in in your neck of the woods. I've seen this the other day Like I said, I always I always thumb through these goofy ass news articles and stuff like this but there was a thief that admits to stealing thousands of chocolate Easter eggs in London and
Speaker: Uh, he broke into the, uh, UK industrial park to steal almost 200 ,000 fucking chocolate Easter eggs. Do you guys, you know, I don't know if these are like, I'm kind of specialty aid. Maybe it's something that's, that's for y 'all out there or whatever the case may be, but, uh, he played guilty to theft and criminal damages. Uh, Joby pool 32 used a metal grinder to break through the gate.
Speaker: at the park in Telford, Central England. He then used a stolen, he then used a stolen semi truck to tow away a trailer loaded with, oh, so there were the Cadbury Creme eggs. Okay. I know what the Cadbury Creme eggs are. We get them here. Everybody loses their mind.
Speaker: Um, because I guess they're really good. They're all right, you know, but I'm not a big chocolate guy. So, so he broke in, he stole a semi and then use the salt said stolen semi truck to tow away a trailer loaded with Cadbury cream eggs and other chocolate goods worth more than 31 ,000 pounds, uh, or 38 ,000 Americans.
Speaker: Um, Wes Mercer, Mercia, maybe police tweeted Monday that shortly after the break in police officer stopped a vehicle, presumably perpetrating to be the Easter bunny. Okay. On a highway and arrested a man on the suspicion of the suspension, suspicion of the, uh,
Speaker: Uh, I want to know why he did it. He, I mean, he played guilty. Um, he, you know, he played guilty of it, but, uh, it says that he did plan the theft and that he had previously or had previous convictions for handling stolen goods. So, I mean, this seems to be his, his line of business where he, I mean,
Speaker: What are you gonna do with, I mean, really, I mean, 200 ,000 chocolate eggs. What are you gonna do with them? I'm assuming that this trailer was a refrigerated trailer. Otherwise, I'm just gonna, or he's really fat and really, really, really likes you. I don't know, it's really there.
Speaker: There's definitely something or like, like something is, maybe he's Easter's version of the Grinch. Maybe he hates Easter so much that he decided to, I don't know, be an Easter Grinch.
Speaker: I don't know, you know, like, damn, man, really? 200 ,000 chocolate eggs and chocolate goodies. Oh, you had a hell of a plan. Obviously I didn't even matter to the man cause, cause he executed it. I mean, outside of getting stopped on the freeway or whatever you guys call them there, freeways, interstates, byways and flyways or whatever.
Speaker: Yeah, I fucking planned. My man got into the gate, stole a semi, hooked it up. And that's also impressive too. That you were able to hook up to a trailer and drive out of there. And it doesn't say that there was any other damage to the facility outside of where he cut the gate. So he was able to maneuver the semi and trailer
Speaker: and drive it out without destroying a whole bunch of shit. Motorways. There you go. I know you guys had some weird name for them. I got yelled at all times in South Carolina because they call it the interstate down there and I call it a freeway. It's not a freeway, it's an interstate. Whatever. It's just a fucking thing. It's a road and we drive on it. It's kind of like those idiots that say soda when it's pop. Let's be real. It's pop. It's not soda. Stop it.
Speaker: then you just sound pretentious and like a prick. Let me say something older or Canadian. I don't know, choice is yours. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. Okay. What? What?
Speaker: I found one set of cow print and all the Walmart's I was in this weekend. Oh, I was going to say, this better not be yours because I didn't buy them for her. No, no, I'm going to get another, I'm bound to determine to find another set for Alexa, but I can apparently can only get them one set of cow print at a time. We can probably order them and have them shipped to the house. I'm also on a mission to find. I could probably just order you guys a giant box so you never run out. I mean, I went to get posed.
Speaker: Thank you, it is pop right it's fucking pop who the hell says so Yes, that's what we're saying it's pop who the hell says soda You know
Speaker: I think, yeah, yeah, you guys call, our French fries are chips to you guys, right? Fish and chips. And you guys call potato chips crisps, right? And I think you call crackers cookies. Okay. We're about out of cabinets. Fish and fries.
Speaker: Well, I mean, we really don't, it just sounds weird, man. No, I agree 100%. It does sound weird, but it also, you know, for somebody who doesn't know, if you're like, I'm going to get some fish and chips, they're thinking you're going to literally get fish and potato chips. You know, they don't, they don't, you know, but I think that's a common, common knowledge thing, what fish and chips are at the end of the day.
Speaker: I think I could be wrong though. But yeah, like I said, I mean, am I right? You guys call, or do you call cookies, biscuits and crackers, something else, crackers, cookies, cookies, biscuits, something.
Speaker: Yeah, potato chips are crisp. I was watching a TikTok video. I was scrolling. I know it wasn't even on TikTok. It was on Facebook, but it was from TikTok. And it was this British lady who's moved to the States. And white people. Guilty. We're both guilty. But she was talking about American words for things that she likes better
Speaker: Or likes to say better than what you guys call them. And, and yeah, she's like, I don't like calling chips, Chris anymore. Cause they're potato chips. Um, but there was a whole bunch. I wish I could remember them, but there was a couple, there was a couple in there and I was like, Oh, I didn't know that they called them that.
Speaker: Oh, I had a friend of mine down in Charleston. I was a customer of mine. He was a customer, but we had hung out outside of work. He was British. And I remember him because we had a British pub, the Gryffindor or something like that, down in the French Quarter.
Speaker: a British pub in the French quarter of Charleston, South Carolina, Ohio, or Ohio, America. But I was like, I can't drink this piss -worn beer. He was like, that's how we drink it. God, why?
Speaker: But he, he, he said that he, um, he struggled for a long time because he goes back and forth between the States and England and whatever for business and whatnot. He said he struggled for years finding a British pub in the States or an English pub or whatever. Um.
Speaker: I guess you guys just call them the pub. We call them bars that served good beer or pints, you know, whatever the way that he could get it back home. He's like a lot of places. Nice.
Speaker: Well, I mean, I know there's a, there's some, a lot of the German beers I drink, they, they say on the label, you know, you can, you can. Why can't I make that work? Um, you can, you can make them cold. Um, it twists. Oh, does it? Oh, maybe it's just me. Thanks. I've literally been standing out there for 10 minutes trying to get that lid on my cup. Oh, you're welcome.
Speaker: Yeah. I'm good with my hands. You know that. Oh, I know. He said, oh, I know. Hey, will you bring me a beer, baby? Or a couple beers? Yeah. Please. Yeah. A pint of Guinness and John. Guinness is disgusting. I'm sorry. That's motor oil. And that's fucking disgusting.
Speaker: But no, a lot of the German beers that I drink, obviously you can throw them in the refrigerator, but when you look at the label and you read them, it said the preferred temperature or whatever drinking temperature is basically room temperature for the best flavor. And I have drank them before at room temperature and yes, I'll agree. Oh, do you really? I think,
Speaker: They're based out of Columbus, but I think the owners might be English. I was looking at it. Because they have shares in Heineken as well. But we got several giant big breweries here in the area. There's actually one where I work at and the town I work at. But I've actually drank the German beers or Belgian beers.
Speaker: at room temperature like they recommend. And they're not bad. I mean, they're pretty good, but I just can't get past the... Whoa, whoa, whoa. That one back out. I have some Miller Lite in the cans. Speaking of German beer.
Speaker: Got me a little bit burger right here. I bought this, uh, 12 pack a couple of weeks ago. I don't drink, I don't drink German beer, uh, or my imported beer. Like I drink my domesticated beer because it's too goddamn expensive to drink imported beer. Uh, like that. Yeah. Nice.
Speaker: Thank you. I only asked for two. Jesus Christ. A bunch of people all think I'm alcoholics in this house. I just started kind of looking into them. Like I said, they have the Cannon Blast, which is made for the Blue Jackets, our hockey team here. So I want to start trying. I want to start trying because that Cannon Blast was really good.
Speaker: I'm actually going to say it on here somewhere. Some wares, sin wares over toss rainbow. Pittsburgh, Germany.
Speaker: Yeah, I don't know. Some of the other ones it does say. He starts saying, by the way, you know, the way they're taxing you and the way they're fucking raping you over there. I'm sorry. Graping you over there. I don't think you're going to be saving money for anything. I will have a, I will have a quick cave 2 .0 though someday.
Speaker: When we have a house and property big enough for you to have a house, Cal, then I will have my glit cave. Fine. Because we will have plenty of room for it. Fine. Fine. You are. Also, if we have a house code here, we're going to have to pay more. Yeah, we're not allowed to have a house code.
Speaker: But speaking of, we were just talking about food and stuff, Mark. I appreciate you always looking out for me. I guess there is a new program that restaurants are looking in to do. It's a pay per two subscription style program.
Speaker: Um, consumers are willing to pay a monthly subscription fees for streaming services, pet food, and even toilet paper. And now some restaurants are betting they'll do the same for their favorite meals. Large chains like, uh, Panera, PF Chang's baby. Well, then both places you like Panera and PF Chang's, uh, there, these companies, I thought you said you liked it.
Speaker: They're, they're starting a monthly subscription. Oh, large chains neighborhood hangouts are increasingly experimenting with the subscription model.
Speaker: I kind of lost my train of thought. Sorry about that. As a way to ensure steady revenue and customer visits, some offer unlimited drinks or free delivery for a monthly fee. Others will bring out your favorite appetizers each time you visit. So that's kind of cool. There's one that works with Twitch where I can send food to you. Really?
Speaker: I will. I actually, hopefully by this spring, I want to have me a little smoker and a flat, what is it? Blackstone? The Blackstone grill out on my patio. Cause I'll use that a flat stone for every damn thing. I'll cook every meal on that bitch. I don't know. No way of saying what's about it. I'll be out there in a dead asshole winter.
Speaker: I'm just going to create an Amazon wish list. I think that's what I'll do. I'll just make me an Amazon wish list and see how much you people really love me. Buy me this and buy me that to show how much you admire your favorite podcast host.
Speaker: They say that they're following a trend that the average American juggles 6 .7 subscriptions in 2022, up 4 .2 since 2019, according to Rocket Money, the personal financial group or financial app. Just another way for the customers to provide a
Speaker: Level of support and joy and love from our offerings and Matt Baker, the chef at gravitas. Um, a Michelin star restaurant. I don't know what that is, but that's in Washington for $130 a month. This blows my mind. Like I don't think I'm going to any restaurant enough that I would give them $130 a month.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, Tony's talked about it. I'm not super familiar with Twitch, but we do have it on our anchor and stuff like that. But yeah, so Gravitas Supper Club subscribers get a three course takeout meal for two. Baker said Gravitas shifted to the takeout during the pandemic, or pandemic, pandemic, a lot of words are hard.
Speaker: pandemic. I'm stroking out over here. I think I smell toast. Um, but salt, salt demand fizzle once the dining room is real often, but, uh, the supper club, which serves about 60 diners per month. So they got 60 people that are paying $130 a month. What that's, what is that?
Speaker: 130 times 60 They're raking in almost eight grand a month Just off of this this supper club That's that's that's not bad. That's that's pretty good revenue right there and it's guaranteed as long as I keep their subscription up And I mean really all you're getting for it is
Speaker: a three -course takeout meal for two. Now, I don't know what their menu looks like or how expensive that is. And I don't know if you get that every, you can just call and say, hey, I'm a supper club member, send me my fucking takeout. Or if it's like a once a month deal or whatever, because it doesn't really dive into it and say, but again, awesome. I don't know if that's a $130 meal in itself. You go to some of these places like,
Speaker: like Ruth Chris Steakhouse or something like that. Or any of the Paul Mitchell higher end restaurants. Cameron Mitchell, Paul Mitchell's a hairstylist. Oh, Cameron Mitchell, my bad. You know, Cameron Mitchell does own some like rusty bucket, which is kind of low. It's got a chill vibe, you know.
Speaker: I don't think they're super expensive. Um, but they do have some very high end restaurants where you're not getting out. I'm sorry, but if, if two people go to Ruth, Chris, Ruth, Chris, you're not getting out of that bitch any less than at least $300, maybe $400.
Speaker: I played alone is like a hundred dollars and that's not including appetizers and drinks or anything else. So you're looking easy, easy for a date night, three, $400 at Ruth Chris. Same thing with, with, with some of these camera Mitchell restaurants, they're the same way. Five of us with chip was $673. Oh, yeah. Oh, where at? So about $600 for five of you. Yeah.
Speaker: I mean, it's crazy. So if they're one of those higher end restaurants where a meal is gonna run you about $100, okay, I'll pay the $130 subscription so that once a month I can have a three -course meal delivered to my house. It's $130 a month. I do need somebody to walk through me or walk me through on Twitch.
Speaker: and figure out how to use it properly. And take advantage of Twitch. Let me see if I can look up that gravitas in Washington. Let's just see what their menu is.
Speaker: That's Houston. Gravitas, Washington. Okay, cool, man. I appreciate that.
Speaker: No. Location. Hour. Oh, you're going to be like that. You ain't going to put your menu on here. That's how expensive you are. Let's see. Chef's tasting. Whoa.
Speaker: Chef's Tasting Menu. It's $165 per person. Optional wine pairings. Elevate your dining experience with a sommelier wine pairings. $135. Add black truffles to any course for an additional $50. Wow. They got a winter vegetable salad.
Speaker: sashimi so that's your uh this is a multi -course meal yeah that's crazy let's see what else they got here oh my god those are so cute sorry dad no hang on i can't even take it they're so cute
Speaker: Yeah, I hate you. Why? Those are adorable. They're adorable. Yes, I can. Yes, I can. I hope your teacher snatches them. She can. They're neutral colors. I hope she snatches them right off your fingers. She can't because the rules are we're allowed to have nails if they're neutral colors. These are neutral colors. They're nude. And if she has a problem, hold up.
Speaker: Her old blood can retire. Their cocktail menu. The cheapest thing on their cocktail menu, which is, I guess, like, you know, we really do. Yeah. Like their cheapest, their cheapest drink on their cocktail menu is, uh, is $15 and it's not alcoholic. Ah, gotcha.
Speaker: Oh, we definitely got over 500 minutes of broadcasting in the last 30 days. At least 70 days. We broadcast three days a week. Three concurrent viewers or more in the last 30 days. Yeah, we got that. I think we got that. Yeah, we're, yeah, we're well over that. Hmm.
Speaker: I'll have to look and see if I can figure that out. Why do you have three Twitch accounts? I was thinking about linking my Twitch up to my Xbox.
Speaker: Now that I actually, I'm actually pretty decent at Call of Duty. What do you do? Go ahead and link that up and go on Twitch and try to go on our, our Twitch account and play Call of Duty. Is that even a thing on Twitch?
Speaker: I didn't even know that was a thing. Yeah, absolutely. I'm down. I mean, I've learned a lot just since we started this podcast about doing the show and broadcasting and editing and everything like that. So I'm always down to learn even more, especially if it'll benefit the show in any way, shape or form.
Speaker: Um, he was the first person I saw when I walked up to the courtroom today and I nodded my hand and I said, Chuck. And he looks at me and he looks at Chris. Check this out. Speaking of technology. There was a lady. I think it was a lady. Uh, yeah.
Speaker: Uh, Karen green, Ms. Karen green. She got a new job in 2007 and some of her friends had pitched into buy her a brand new iPhone. Some good friends right there. Unlike some of the quality of people that like to creep on this podcast or leave rude comments. I don't think I didn't see it. Huh? Or stop my girlfriend. But, um,
Speaker: And while hundreds of thousands of Americans, you know, clamored to get their hands on the first version of the revolutionary as Apple. All right, let's pump the brakes real quick. Apple, your phones are trash. Even your newest model is still two or three years behind on Samsung. And they're cheap as fuck, mate. You breathe on it wrong and the screen shatters.
Speaker: So stop, you're not revolutionary. Maybe we're the first smartphone, I don't know, but you're way overpriced and the people who buy it, they're sheep at the end of the day, let's be honest. But... But...
Speaker: Karen wasn't one of them in part because she had upgraded her new non -smartphone not long before and reportedly didn't want to switch from Verizon to AT &T because as we all know, back in the day, iPhones were an AT &T exclusive. I appreciate that, Mark. Thanks. I'm right back at you, man. I appreciate you always looking out, man.
Speaker: I haven't heard anything bad about the new Google Pixel phones. Actually, I've seen some gamer guys and tech guys that I follow were talking about them and they love them. I'm a Samsung guy. I did have an LG at one point. I hated it. The phone was a
Speaker: I swear to God, it was like the short bus rider of phones. I did not like the LG. Oh, Susie. But I like my Samsung. I've always had a Samsung. I'm used to it. I'm comfortable with it. It does everything I needed to do.
Speaker: But Karen said, I didn't want to get rid of my new phone, new, not smartphones. I figured it's an iPhone, so I'll never go out. So I figured it'll never go out of date. Karen told the daytime television program, the doctors and the diva in 2019, the same month Apple unveiled the iPhone 11.
Speaker: Green kept the first generation eight gigabyte phone sealed in the box, realizing as the years went on, that collectors might come to find it valuable. Her hunch was confirmed when appraisers on the show estimated it at five grand. Let's be honest, man. Absolutely. I'm a hundred percent with you. LG's are trash. Let's be honest. So these goofy ass appraisers,
Speaker: appraised it estimated at five grand. I think these appraisers need to go into another line of work because an online auction shattered all expectations this past weekend. I think this was actually, uh, yeah, it was last weekend. Um, and, uh, her iPhone sold.
Speaker: for over $63 ,000. That's more than a hundred times what its original worth was. And about $63 ,399 .99 more than I would pay for any iPhone.
Speaker: and more than any vintage iPhone before it. But the cool thing about it was, I think this is why it went for so much. And then of course, it kind of blows my mind that a 2007 iPhone sold for almost $64 ,000 roughly, give or take. I think the only reason that it,
Speaker: was such a high item or high price was because it was still in the box. It was sealed. It was never open. This phone was never even open. And we all know you hit a brand new phone when it comes to the fucking Fort Knox style box.
Speaker: but a Louisiana based auction house, LCG auctions, which specializes in pop culture collectibles describe the phone as a hot ticket item for the collectors and investors alike. It presents a magnificently showcasing sharp corners, front and back, rich in color and case fresh features. But
Speaker: The phone had a, and you know, now, you know. Dude. What? You got to read these comments. On what? Shauna's Facebook page from my ex -brother -in -law. Shauna's Facebook page from your ex -brother -in -law. Scumbag's sister's ex -husband. Okay. Well, here's just time out. Read the post. Okay.
Speaker: I'm going to take a quick break so I can read this. We'll be right back here in just a few minutes. Enjoy a little actually in honor of Wednesday night. Enjoy a little black top mojo. What do I have?
Speaker: Yeah, we'll do that one. Blacktop Mojo and Dylan, Dylan Wheeler with their cover of audio sleeves. Getaway car. I think it's audio sleeve. It's Chris Cornell either way.
Speaker: I saw you, you were chasing down As I come on, all alone in a field Well, your eyes and clothes I kept rolling on I never thought you'd wind up chasing me
Speaker: Settle down, I won't hesitate to hit the highway Before you lay me to waste now Settle up, and I'll help you find something to drive Before you drown me in sin
Speaker: You're tired of walking you below the ground The sidewalk will barely touch your feet Your life moves too slowly to hold you down With ringing hands you take it out on
Speaker: I won't hesitate to read the highway Before you lay me to waste no hope Set a love and I'll help you find something to drive Before you drive me insane
Speaker: Get yourself a car, drive it all along Get yourself a car, ride it on the wind Get yourself a car, drive it all along Get yourself a car, ride it on the wind
Speaker: You settle down I won't hesitate to eat the highway Before you lay me to waste no It's get along And I'll help you find something to try
Speaker: Before you drive me insane So get yourself a car And drive it all along Get yourself a car And ride it on the wind Get yourself a car And drive it all along Get yourself a car
Speaker: Ride it on the wind, yeah. Oh, welcome back to another physical nonsense, everybody. I'm like hanging out, doing a solo show tonight. This is Monday. Jeff couldn't be here. Lord only knows where Tony D is. Hopefully everything's OK. Nothing major going on in his world.
Speaker: Appreciate you guys hanging out. Appreciate you guys listening. I don't know if it affected it on your internet, but I had some technical difficulties over here. My internet completely crashed. So I had to jump on my mobile hotspot. And I came back in and the music was literally just ending.
Speaker: So I don't know if I'm hearing it, if it crashed or anything like that, but it definitely crashed on my end. Uh, I do apologize for that. Welcome back to nonsense. You guys aren't already good and check out the social medias, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and tick tock. Don't forget to join us live Monday, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 6 PM. You can come hang out in the chatters box, shoot the shit with us, add your two cents to the show. And if you can't join us live, don't worry. We got you covered because you can listen to us anytime, any place.
Speaker: however you want on Spotify and everywhere you listen to podcasts, all at Nonsense for Nonsense. So if you'd be so kind, give us a follow, give us a like, and give us a share. Don't forget, turn your notifications on. That way you know when we do what we do, how we do. So jump back. Huh?
Speaker: We can talk about things. You can be my co -host. You'd probably be a much better co -host than the two co -hosts that I have. You live here, so you would have to be on time. Unless you were working. It's just podcast time. Good chance. God, I'm so disgusted right now. It's just that whole situation and that whole entire family just
Speaker: Like they should put them all into a van and just park it on a train track and lock them in it. And I don't even know, I'm only going off of what, you know, what you told me and now seeing that, it's just like, all right, well, that's kind of a verification that you're not just talking shit because he fucked you up. You know, legitimately a scummy family as a whole, as a whole collective.
Speaker: I've said that a few times. Wow. Hello.
Speaker: But, uh, Hey, remember what the hell I was talking about before we went to break so much drama in the LBC. It's kind of hard being stupid deal double G, but I somehow some way was last weekend or last week or something. We, when we were doing the show, we weren't even being loud and I slammed on the wall.
Speaker: It was like they did it again. I saw a lot because one of these times these walls are sort of there. Their fist is going to come through and I'm going to grab it. And I'm going to grab it and I'm going to lick it and then I'm going to push it back through and stare in the hole and go, I licked it. Now it's mine. But I don't know if I'm going to fuck up Mike.
Speaker: Connection here. I don't know what was going on. Yeah, like literally once a night man my So much nicer when the guys are here and I have what's going on man And I have technical difficulties Because
Speaker: They just stare at each other in the camera. Actually, it's about the same. But I was talking about that iPhone selling for almost $63 ,000, almost $64 ,000. This phone had a two megapixel camera on it and a web browser.
Speaker: and the iconic box with a life -size magazine of the iPhone with 12 icons on the touchscreen, whatever. So, you know, but, you know, think back to, you know, when smartphones were brand new, what do we have now? What do we have now on our cameras? What kind of megapixels you got on your camera, baby? Do you know? That looks terrible.
Speaker: I hate my camera on this phone. It's definitely not too. At the end of the day, it's definitely not too. I have 128 gig of memory. I have that. 2007 iPhone. The original iPhones were expensive. They were $600. And they only had eight gigs.
Speaker: My first smartphone that I had was a Blackberry. I love that fucking phone. I didn't know how to use that fucking phone, but I love that phone. Doing good, how you doing? As long as you can hear me, it's fine. I'm literally on my phone and I'm also back on that website, so.
Speaker: So being on my phone and using it, let me see if I can jump back on my main internet. Hopefully I don't drop, but if I do. My front camera's 10, my back is 12. So it's, I mean, it's terrible.
Speaker: All right, we're going back to my phone. So we're going to deal with fuzzy camera, because my internet is being incredibly stupid. But I'm back. So Nikki was just telling me that her front camera is 12 and her back camera is 10. So the original iPhone was only two.
Speaker: And then like I said, right now, I mean, our, our, our smartphones are, are, I think I have 128 gigabyte memory. That eight gigabyte wouldn't hold three games. I have, you know, like together, not, I don't have a game on my phone that's eight gigs, but you know what I mean? So, you know, and, um,
Speaker: But it says virtually all were open and used as intended. So this is like a very rare find. Like we were talking before we went to break this phone to discover an original first release model from 2007. Still brand new with its factory seal intact. It's truly remarkable. Yeah, original factory seal.
Speaker: Bidding started at this phone. So mind you, the appraiser said the phone was only gonna be worth like five grand. And bidding started at 2 ,500. And through 27 rounds, it shot up to 63, almost 63 .4 ,000, well it was 63 ,400, whatever, in order to try to say words are hard. So roughly 64 ,000.
Speaker: There was only 10 bidders competing. So other factory sealed first edition iPhones have done well. One went for 35 ,000, one went for 39 ,000 in August and October. But this particular phone is the first original model in acceptable condition to go up for auction.
Speaker: And I mean, they got the pictures of the big black box with the Apple logo and and the phone on the on the on the box.
Speaker: But then this just kind of goes into why the old iPhones have become such a hot commodity, so you could say. Obviously, whether you like the iPhone or not, it does have a historical significance to it because they were the first of their kind. I mean, they were the first smartphone of that kind, of what we now know as smartphones today. The phone was revolutionary, again, despite what you
Speaker: feel or what you think about iPhones. If you're pro iPhone, anti iPhone, I'm anti iPhone. I think the garbage, I think they're way overpriced. And at the time, at the time, they were five years ahead of everybody else because nobody else had that type of smartphone. So,
Speaker: But now, now that we're at the iPhone 14, 15, wherever we're at. And now they're lagging behind everybody else in the hill, but people are still, you get your loyal followers and your, your, your loyal fan base and they'll follow you through anything and everything. Oh, got a barking spider in here.
Speaker: But I think what's crazier about that story is not so much how much the phone went for, but the fact that somebody had
Speaker: The original OG iPhone and it was still factory, it was still factory sealed, never even opened. And it was just laying around their house. That's kind of life changing money right there. I mean, let's be honest.
Speaker: you know, almost 64 ,000. I don't know how much she's going to get, you know, at the end of the day, after the auction place takes their fees and you know, the government's going to stick their greedy ass little hands in it. I don't know how much they're going to get at the end of the day, but I'm assuming she's still going to get a nice little paycheck, you know? Oh my God, this is just fucking weird. Uh oh.
Speaker: Um, I got two more weird stories and we're gonna kind of button this up tonight. A man of a Michigan, he bought two identical tickets for the same fantasy five lottery. And he wound up winning two jackpots.
Speaker: worth about $240 ,000. Well, 240. What's going on, Dylan? About $241 ,000. We're gonna go round up. We like rounding up around here. So, you know, about $241 ,000. A 67 -year -old Oakland County man told Michigan Lottery that he bought both of his tickets for the drawing at MichiganLottery .com on different dates.
Speaker: Every week I purchased the multi draw fantasy five ticket with the same set of numbers. I've been playing for four years a player said I was going out of town so I bought a I bought a multi draw ticket to cover the drawings while I was gone. There was some overlap on the drawings and the new ticket I had purchased.
Speaker: hit purchase a few days prior. Both of the man's tickets bearing the numbers, four, 10, 12, 20, 30, one, the $121 ,000 jackpot. So I'm not quite sure how this jackpot works, I guess. If you win, you win. It's not like the mega millions or
Speaker: the power ball where, you know, three people when you're going to split whatever that the jackpot is apparently this is individual jackpots to each winner I guess. So, but he said he logged into his lottery account after the draw and to check his tickets and I couldn't believe that he said I couldn't believe.
Speaker: it when I saw it, a 241 ,000 prize pending when I realized that I had one, one of the drawings, both tickets covered to win on each. I couldn't help but laugh a mess. So, you know, a little, a little mental slip up, a little, a little mental fart, if you will. And instead of winning 121 ,000, may I walk away with
Speaker: 142 ,000, or 240, some odd thousand. Not a bad gig. Not a bad little frame fart there for you. Okay, why, okay.
Speaker: kind of move on from that. That was just kind of a cool story, a little feel good story. Congratulations, that old man. Then he's got $240 some odd thousand dollars. You know, at the end of the day, once the government gets their hands in there, he's probably all going to walk away with 120K, but still, you know, got a nice little chunk of change in his pocket. He can do something nice for his family or his wife or he can say, fuck all you bitches, I'm out.
Speaker: and take himself on a nice vacation or something like that. Who knows? Who knows what he's gonna do. Why is this a record? And why is this a thing? An Idaho man puts 2 ,470 cotton swabs in his beard for a world record. I mean, we all know I have a beard.
Speaker: It's been brought up several times. Tony's jealous of it. He, he's so angry at my beard and I don't know why. I really don't know why he's angry at my beard. But this particular man, his facial hair has earned him 12 Guinness world records already. And he added a 13 title to his name when he fit
Speaker: 2470 Q tips in his beard. Joel Strouser of Kuna said that it took about two hours to insert the cotton swabs into his beard in a way that they would remain in place during his visit to Las Vegas, and he believes he could have set the record even higher. If he had purchased more Q tips for this attempt. Strouser previously made headlines in December of 2022 when he put
Speaker: 10 Christmas bulbs into his beard for a world record title and again in January he broke the record for fitting pencils into his beard. I'm live with Kelly and Ryan. They got more Guinness World Records coming up. I've got 13 so far so I'm not done. So basically this dude has made and I say this a lot about guys that have beards and same thing with guys who ride motorcycles.
Speaker: That's his own entire personality. He has no personality. This dude is not a guy you want to hang out with because you're going to get tired of hearing about his 13 Guinness World Records, 9 million times. He's going to set a Guinness record for telling people about his Guinness records because of his beard. That's his entire personality, his entire beard, everything. That if you're sitting, just putting shit in your beard and setting records. Why are those records?
Speaker: The fuck is wrong? This is why other countries laugh at us. Just so you guys know. This is why other countries laugh at us. Because this guy is putting shit in his beard and getting famous for it. Don't put shit in my beard. Lord have mercy.
Speaker: He's got world records. Most paper straws in a beard. Most straws in a beard. Most chopsticks in a beard. Most golf teams in a beard. Most forks in a beard. Most toothpicks in a beard. Most clothespins on a beard. Most chopsticks put into a beard. Isn't that the same thing as chopsticks in a beard? I don't know.
Speaker: Oh, I'm sorry. Most chopsticks put into a beard in one minute and most pencils put into a beard in one minute. What I would like to see is a record of him in the Guinness World Book of Records.
Speaker: fastest way to lose a beard lost in the fastest. And like some, somebody at one of these events where he's doing this stupid shit, just run by with the clippers and go, bye. No more beard for you. It would ruin him, ruin him.
Speaker: All right. Oh, shit. Where was I at? Here's where I is. Got one more. I got one more. And then we're going to have to show it. It's been a good show. I think I did all right. I think I did all right by myself. Well, this one goes out for all you couples in a long distance relationship. You know, I was just in one. Fortunately, my girlfriend did just move in with me a couple of weeks ago. So, you know, now we're not doing the long distance thing anymore.
Speaker: But there is a remote kissing device that lets long distance lovers share silicone smooches. And this is shaped like a mouth, obviously. How?
Speaker: You know the first thing a dude is gonna do when he gets this thing is stick his dick in it because that's There's I mean, how many news stories do we see daily? Okay, sticking their dick and shit where it doesn't belong or sticking shit on their dick that doesn't belong there pop bottles Cans You know PVC pipe whatever and it gets stuck So, you know that dudes are gonna stick their dick in this thing
Speaker: I don't know if you guys can see this very well Let me see if I can kind of make adjustments This is for those of you watching if you're listening to us And you want to see it go ahead and pop on over to the YouTube channel nonsense school nonsense podcast But that's what it looks like. Oh, that's actually a good shot You know dudes are gonna stick their dick in there Every damn one of them not every damn one of them but a good number of them they're gonna stick
Speaker: But as a Chinese company is to share their smooches via cell phone app. Of course, it's a cell phone app. The remote kiss device created by the Changzhu Vocational Institution of Mechatronic Technology uses a set of silicone lips to replicate the pressure
Speaker: movement and temperature of a kiss that is then replicated by the corresponding devices via a smartphone app. This goes back to the whole iPhone. We were already talking about. Xiaoyang. This is all Gongli.
Speaker: I think I nailed that. Jayang, or she said, they said, in my university, I was in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend. So he said, so we only had contact with each other through the phone. That's where the inspiration for this device originated.
Speaker: Jayang, who led the team that created the device, told China State Run Global Times, the $41 device is available on Chinese shopping site. It's kind of their version of Amazon, I'm assuming. Toa Boa also has an option in the app to share kisses with anonymous strangers. Interesting.
Speaker: The vocational institution, mechatronic technology obtained a patent for the device in 2019, but the patent expired in 2023. Jayang said, he is hoping other designers will now be able to improve on the product. Okay, so ladies and gentlemen, if you're in a long distance relationship, don't want Toa both, and order yourself the kissing device.
Speaker: And ladies, little PSA, little FYI. And I do mean for your information, not fuck you idiot. When you're sending your boyfriend kisses with this device, he's sticking his dick in it. So just be warned. You think you're being all sweet and romantical and all that bullshit.
Speaker: Send in your boyfriend who lives 500 miles away or a thousand miles away, kisses on this device. He's got his dick in it. So you are essentially giving him virtual blow jobs. And that's where we'll leave the show. Hashtag virtual blow jobs. Thank you guys for listening. Thank you guys for hanging out. Hopefully you enjoyed the show. I did the best I could on my own.
