Redheads' Stories and Games
00:01:01
Speaker
Thank you everyone for tuning into Laughing with Ginger's. The podcasts were two feisty red heads with loud laughs, share crazy stories, play games, and spread silliness and joy.
00:01:12
Speaker
That little not a dog-ter voice you hear over there is my possum co-host Christina Curry. Oh, that was a rough entry there. Christina, I did. Sure, Elvin. My co-hosts on Laughing with Ginger's.
00:01:39
Speaker
Oh my god, I don't think I'm ever going to be able to make it through that commercial without laughing. I I don't know if our listeners could hear but I heard snickering.
00:01:53
Speaker
Stickering and laughing through the nose in the air puffs. I may need to start muting myself during it. It may. I don't think it's going to get better. I don't think so either. Oh, gosh. Well, are you ready for today's episode?
00:02:18
Speaker
I am so excited about today's episode.
Weird State Laws Game Introduction
00:02:24
Speaker
Sarah and I both brought funny like our weird state laws, and I randomly just picked a state. Right before we started recording, she said, oh, I randomly picked a state. We don't know if we randomly picked the same state.
00:02:42
Speaker
So we're about to find out live here on the podcast in this moment. Okay. Do you want me to say what state I picked? Should we do it at the same time? Okay. Okay. On the count of three, but like after three, like one, two, three, say the same. Okay. Are you going to count down? I'll count down. I'll count down. Okay. Okay. One, two, three. Georgia.
00:03:10
Speaker
Okay, we didn't pick the same state, great. Okay, so I brought a game and it's, is it Georgia or a different state? Oh my God, so great. But not a minor Idaho, so.
00:03:26
Speaker
Okay, then we're in the clear. I just felt like, I felt like Georgia needed a little, a little, maybe a laugh for two. Okay, yeah. Little lightheartedness. I guess, I guess I was going like my brain went south.
00:03:49
Speaker
And then I went down the wrong pathway completely for what is going to be a next item on one of our episodes, which is going to be slang. Because we've done like old timey slang, but we haven't or things that are like for from other countries, like sayings from other countries. But there's so many good ones in the United States that we don't think of. So and then my brain led me, of course, to Georgia.
00:04:18
Speaker
Mm-hmm. That makes sense. I have a lot of slang. And apparently weird laws. Yes. Yes. So I pulled some weird laws, and that's where we are today. I am so ready for this. I'm excited. Me too. So you want me to go first? Yeah. Why don't you go first? Kick us off. So they're all US-based. OK.
00:04:49
Speaker
just for reference. I don't have to be Georgia
Debating Peculiar State Laws
00:04:52
Speaker
or Africa. Yeah. Yeah. They're not like a province in Canada or something. They're actually states in the US. Is it Georgia or is it another state? It's illegal to wear a fake mustache in church.
00:05:16
Speaker
God, they got to ruin everything. Those dang church people. I'm going to say it's another state. Ding, ding, ding. Can't take a guess on which one it might be. Oklahoma. Not too far. Alabama. Oh, OK. OK. So, you know, like you remove your hat when you go to
00:05:46
Speaker
school or your shoes. If you live in a shoes off hot or house, just make sure you remove your fake mustache before you go into the church in Alabama. They need like a tray that says please leave fake mustache here.
00:06:01
Speaker
That is literally what I imagined. What are those poor baskets that they pass around? The collection plate. I was imagining that, but for your fake mustache. I was imagining when you're at a yoga studio and you have to leave your shoes at the entrance and they have all the cubbies and containers for your things. It's like, leave your shoes, keys, wallet, phone, and a fake mustache at the door.
00:06:32
Speaker
Yeah, that's funny. You've got one down. You're doing well so far. It's still early.
00:06:42
Speaker
You want another one? Mm hmm. All citizens must own a rake. What if I don't have a yard? Yeah, what if you live in an apartment complex? Yeah, for the whole complex or does it go for just like by unit? Because then they might have to have a rake on like, you know, somewhere on the property. Yeah.
00:07:11
Speaker
What is the line here? Yeah. What is the line? I'm going to say what? Also, would I have to own a rake and then Felipe would also have to own a rake? Oh, yeah. Is it per head and household? At what age do you turn that you have to get a rake, like 18?
00:07:37
Speaker
Yeah. Like you registered to vote and they give you your rake. No, you have to show up with your rake to make sure that you get, you know, marked as owning a rake. Oh my God. So can you have joint ownership of the rake? Like what happens if, if you do have joint ownership and then you, you know, we're just roommates and you happen to move out. What do you split the rake in half?
00:08:08
Speaker
Who gets it? Who gets it? Who gets us to be? Who gets it? Who gets it? Who gets us to be? Who gets it? Who gets it? Who gets us to be? Who gets it? Who gets it? Who gets us to be? Who gets it? Who gets us to be? Who gets it? Who gets us to be? Who gets it? Who gets us to be? Who gets us to be? Who gets it? Who gets us to be? Who gets us to be? Who gets us to be? Who gets us to be?

00:08:36
Speaker
I could only name Atlanta. Yeah, is Atlanta in Atlanta County? I don't even know. I didn't even know there was an Atlanta County. No, I mean, is it? I'm assuming. I don't know. I don't know. Is it? LA is in LA County, right? Mm-hmm.
00:08:59
Speaker
Arlington, Virginia is in Arlington County. I wonder if Sacramento is in Sacramento County. Oh, my God. I can name Maryland counties. I cannot. I don't think I could do Virginia. Yeah. I mean, I can I can go as far as like Ventura County for California. That's as far as I go.
00:09:21
Speaker
up north. Yeah. I don't know if it's a good question that maybe our listeners can answer for us. Yeah. If you live in Georgia, let us know. I know a lot of towns in Georgia, weirdly. I do like Georgia. Yeah, they have some really cool wedding locations.
00:09:47
Speaker
Ooh, I bet. Yeah. They have some beautiful driftwood beaches and all kinds of cool stuff. Ooh, lovely. So romantic-o. Yeah. Okay. Do you want another one and then I'll turn it over to you? Yeah. All right. Goldfish may not be given away in order to entice someone to enter a bingo game. Is it Georgia or is it somewhere else?
00:10:18
Speaker
Poor goldfish. I'm going to say it's somewhere else. It's Athens, Clark County, Georgia. Damn it. Okay, so too. All right, well, let's head to Idaho. All right, let's do it.
00:10:46
Speaker
I've got my potato. Okay, perfect. Well, that's great because if you're selling your potato and it has rot or blemishes or sun damage on it, you can get sent to jail for up to six months. So don't you dare bring a subpar potato to sell. What if it has a
00:11:09
Speaker
Do they get ears or eyes? Eyes. I don't know. I don't think that's considered a blemish, right? I don't know. So maybe it's OK. OK, so I don't know. Don't store them near your onions, then? Oh, I don't know. Bananas? I don't know. Onions and potatoes, I believe, or shallots, too, I think, are on the list of things you cannot store in the same location.
00:11:39
Speaker
because they cause rot faster. Ooh, that's good to know. Okay, all right, noted. Yeah, yeah. Maybe that's why you don't see a lot of potato and onion farms next to each other. I don't know if that's true. I mean, I would have zero idea, although it would seem like something weird I would know.
00:12:08
Speaker
I know, it does seem like a Sarah fact. Okay, so while you're hanging out in Idaho, it's against the law to live in a dog kennel unless you're a dog. I guess they had enough people doing it, but they had to shut it down. Okay.
00:12:35
Speaker
Well, what about like a rabbit? What if your rabbit doesn't have a hutch that has a dog kennel? I would say if the police are knocking at your door, inquiring, you're like, that's not a dog kennel. That's a rabbit kennel. Do you just put a sign on it that says rabbit? No, no. Here's what you do. You mark out the dog and write rabbit.
00:13:03
Speaker
Hang on, officer. Let me fix that for you. That's a rabbit kennel. Oh, man. All right. I'll give you one more and then we can like head on over to Georgia or an undetermined state. Okay. Okay. So in Idaho, Idaho falls.
00:13:29
Speaker
Words are hard. It is actually illegal to ride a motorcycle if you are over 88. Years old or the speed? Yes. No, no, no, no. Years old.
00:13:46
Speaker
Oh man, that sounds ageist is what that sounds like. Yeah, there are some 88-year-olds that are better shaped than me. Yeah, that can totally ride a motorcycle. Man, probably kick my butt. Yeah, probably, yep. That's just ageist, Idaho Falls. Yeah, and that does, that feels very ageist, rude.
00:14:15
Speaker
Also, I have questions, but I don't think you'd be able to answer any of them. No, I have very minimal information. Maybe all the 88 year olds are just way cooler than everyone under 88. And people were like, fuck this, we cannot survive with all these awesome 88 and above. Hayden, hate haterade, drinking their haterade.
00:14:43
Speaker
Yeah. And they were just super bitter about it. So then they were like, we're going to make an illegal and then they won't be cool anymore. Yeah. Get off those motorcycles. You cool old people. All right. Are you ready for my next one? All right. It is illegal in this state, Georgia or otherwise, to sell cat hair.
00:15:14
Speaker
Why are you doing that? I cannot imagine a scenario where that's okay. Honestly, I can only in... My God, what TV show is it? Where they buy... Oh my God, it's... Sorry, I know what it is. It's South Park.
00:15:39
Speaker
where Cartman buys pubes. That's a cartoon. I could see it as kids doing something in this way. Kids do weird things. Yeah, they do. He buys this kid's Scotty's hair for chest hair. He's told it's chest hair and it's actually pubes or something. Oh my God.
00:16:05
Speaker
That's a weird circumstance in which I could see cat hair being sold for non-nefarious or super weird purposes. God, that's gross. Yeah, so gross. All right, I'm going to say, I don't know, Georgia. It's New York. Get out of here. My next house is Florida.
00:16:35
Speaker
It feels like a really weird state law. It feels like it would be for a state where there would be, I don't know, Florida is a good guess because they have snakes and if you were feeding a kitten to a snake. Oh my God, what? Oh, it's so weird. Yeah, people actually do that. That's, yeah. Creepy. Sorry to be Debbie Downer of Laughing with Ginger's.
00:17:03
Speaker
Sad
Internet and Remote Hunting Law Discussion
00:17:04
Speaker
times with Sarah. All right, you want one more? See if we can redeem you. Yeah, let's see. Okay. Persons under the age of 16 may not play pinball after 11 p.m.
00:17:33
Speaker
Where, though? Like, are you at your house? That seems so weird. OK, I'm going to say not Georgia. It's Georgia. It's Athens-Clarke County again. They're coming in hot with some weird. It's like at the DFW Hall. You got to kick out those 16-year-olds from the table. Let the adults take over.
00:18:04
Speaker
I mean, I get it. Pinball machines are loud. They're like thunk, thunk, and like ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. I know, but like if you've got one in a space, it seems like there's probably other ones in that space and other fun things in that space. Yeah, like you went to an arcade with the express purpose of hearing lots of things go boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
00:18:28
Speaker
Or there's a few machines in the back of the DFW and you're just playing on them. Maybe that's why they're too loud and annoying and they're trying to hold their evening meetings or something. Or just get drunk without kids loudly playing pinball. Yeah, God, they're so annoying. Just want to get drunk in peace.
00:18:57
Speaker
Oh, man. All right. You are officially right now at two and four. Oh, I am not doing great. Not your best showing, but you still have time to redeem yourself. Okay. All right. All right. I've got a few more then. Sure. And then we'll have to see if Christina can redeem herself in part two.
00:19:24
Speaker
Yeah, maybe in part two, I'll be coming in hot a little bit better. All right. So let's go ahead back over to Idaho. And just so you know, it's illegal to write a merry-go-round on a Sunday. It's way too much fun. It is way too much fun on a Sunday. You need to shut it down. Yeah. I mean, that's a lot of stimulation.
00:19:54
Speaker
one of the highlights of most people's weekend on a regular basis. Get your fun in on Saturday because it's over by Sunday. Okay, this one I do not understand. I read it and I read it and I read it a third time and then I was like, maybe Sarah will get it. Hunting with a remote using the internet is punishable by law.
00:20:25
Speaker
OK, I see why you're asking me. Please make this Idaho weird law clear, Sarah. OK, so when I lived in the part of Maryland that was big in hunting, we did not have remote things, at least to my knowledge. Like I just keep thinking of a TV remote. No, so you can like set up
00:20:54
Speaker
Like traps, essentially. Oh, remote, like it's far away. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that makes so, oh, so they're saying you can't kill an animal while you're sitting at home on the internet. Yeah. Like if you think of like how national park service, of course you are not hunting on a national park, but you know how they have those like wildlife cameras that trigger on. So if you,
00:21:23
Speaker
have a camera set up that's in like the path of, I don't know, a wild hog or a deer and the deer kicks it on that you could potentially like hunt through that. And of course, I could be wrong. It's possible. But that's how I interpret it. That totally sounds right. That totally sounds right. And it sounds like a really good law, actually, because that seems so lazy to be able to like hunt while you're just sitting at home on the Internet.
00:21:53
Speaker
I have lots of opinions about laziness and skill. I have one more about hunting. Weirdly enough, it's also forbidden to hunt from a helicopter, whether or not it's in the air or on the ground, not running.
00:22:23
Speaker
Which that makes sense too. Yeah. Yeah, that does make sense. Yeah, it's a huge being in a helicopter seems like a huge advantage or disadvantage because you're scaring everything away actually.
00:22:39
Speaker
Yeah, I think it depends because sometimes you need to scare things out depending on what you're actually hunting. So sometimes things will like sit and like wait it out. You know, they have like the, like bunnies, they have the paralysis of like, don't see me, don't know I'm here. Look away. This is just a kennel. It's not a dog kennel.
00:23:10
Speaker
It's my rabbit kennel, I swear. Oh yeah, I get it. Helicopter would definitely get that rabbit out of its kennel. Yeah, it would. Yes, it would. Well, should we wrap it up and come back for part two on state laws that are super weird?
00:23:39
Speaker
Yeah, I literally have like six or seven more that are just doesn't make sense. Just like why Idaho, why? I hope at least two of them are food related. One is food related and one has the name mayhem in it. Well, I mean, I'll take it. Yeah.
00:24:07
