00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:27.039
M he was called cold. That
was he was cold, Barn. What's

2
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:35.000
going on up there? Could be
the most important event in history. Now

3
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:44.600
I am the cold and destroy our
worlds, I said. I hope this

4
00:00:44.759 --> 00:01:07.239
is close to hill. It's all
ever again. Hello and welcome to the

5
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.599
Tales from the Dark podcast. I'm
your host, Bob. You're with my

6
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.040
co host Brittany. Hey, guys, what's up. Brittany. It's it's

7
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.359
been a while. I got to
ask, how's it going. It's going

8
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.040
good. How are you? It's
going well? But I'm gonna just precursor

9
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.719
right now. If you do not
like the banter or you don't like bad

10
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.760
news, skip about six minutes ahead
in the podcast episode. Okay, I

11
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:34.359
had to put that out there,
so first and foremost, I have been

12
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:40.200
attacked on social media lately, and
I just want to explain why that's not

13
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.120
okay. Oh god, So about
two to three days ago, I started

14
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.560
getting tagged on every platform we have
in an emails and then I carry your

15
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.920
pigeon. It was going down.
Was it your your entry to Hogwarts?

16
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.799
Because that's what sounded like. So
apparently has Bro unveiled the toys new iconic

17
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.840
turn of the Furby yep, and
the giant one too. I saw that.

18
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:08.400
So I have never seen a community
band together to hate them move together

19
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:15.680
just to just fuck somewhere up so
quickly. I mean you there are just

20
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:21.400
certain things that just gets you guys
going, And apparently my childhood trauma is

21
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.199
just one of them. Yeah,
other and other news here, we started

22
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.199
playing Pokemon Go again. If you're
a long time you're a long time listener

23
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.560
Tales from Dark, you will know
that I went on a little mini fitness

24
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.719
journey a few years ago. I'm
back on said journey. The only thing

25
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.000
that's keeping me from throwing myself down
a hill on my walks is Pokemon Go.

26
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:46.199
So I want to explain how I
played Pokemon Go to everybody, because

27
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.280
there was a time where I think
it was twenty sixteen Pokemon Go came out.

28
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.039
It was like the biggest thing in
the world for a while. Yeah,

29
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.919
and then a resurgence happened in like
twenty twenty one. I think it's

30
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.120
when we started playing again. Yes. Now, when I say that we

31
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.240
went deep, I mean I'm talking
taking every gym up to the elbow.

32
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:15.080
We were deep. So what Brittany
and I would do is we would we

33
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.080
would go and hit We had a
little route that we planned from our house

34
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.360
into the center of our town,
outside of the town by the jail,

35
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.639
and we had it down to an
exact. We have to go this fast

36
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.840
to hit every pokey stop before it
will you know. Respond. Well,

37
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.800
then one day we kind of had
a little idea of, hey, fuck

38
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:38.199
them kids, We're going to take
every gym in town and put the beefiest

39
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.840
fucking pokemon we have and hold them
for like fifteen days. Yes, we

40
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.879
held our entire town hostage to a
point that now I can't say that this

41
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.800
was about us, but conveniently,
like a day or two after we took

42
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.840
the gym, and then we would
obsessively drive around and pump berries back in

43
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.879
to keep our pokemon in the gym, like day and night. Nothing else

44
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.479
matter, but just just fuck them
kids, That's all that mattered. I

45
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:08.840
see a Reddit post It's like,
I Niantick needs to fix this. This

46
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.759
is bullshit. There's this fucking group
in my town who went over and took

47
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.560
over every single gem. Every single
time that they try and take over that

48
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.519
I go over there, they're there
and they will not let their Pokemon die.

49
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:24.879
This is bullshit. And again I
can't say that that was for sure

50
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.480
about us, but it was convenient
timing. Yes. So if you guys

51
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.800
want to add this is my code
on Pokemon Go because I'm twelve and I

52
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:36.920
still abs this for Pokemon mine is
eight three four nine, five six,

53
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.360
eight, five, five, seven, six eight And Brittany, what is

54
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:47.079
yours? Mine is six seven two
four four five three one zero six eight

55
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.800
six add us send us some gifts. One of my favorite things about this

56
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.920
game is seeing the cool ass pictures
of like places that we go. Yeah,

57
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.560
it's really fucking everyone else goes through. Yeah, well Matthew said,

58
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.680
we wanted to the Octagon House in
Kentucky and that was fucking cool. So

59
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.920
it's really meeks Like, if you
go to Point Pleasant, the Mothman statue

60
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.959
is a Pokemon Poka stop. So
I think that's pretty fucking cool. It's

61
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.480
very cool, all right. So
now let's kind of transition. So the

62
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.199
other thing I have to kind of
throw out here. I need some more

63
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.560
listeners stories. I've got enough for
about forty five minutes to an hour.

64
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.639
I want to the next listener stories
to be the hour and a half hour

65
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.680
forty five. So if you have
any cool stories, go ahead and send

66
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.800
him in Austin. I'm speaking directly
to you. Oh, we know you

67
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:39.000
got messed up stories. Yeah.
And I guess the last last thing for

68
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.279
everyone who wanted wanted us to dive
into the UFO whistleblower, as we said

69
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.800
in the last episode, we covered
it on Patreon, I have to double

70
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.079
down and say, I told you
so what happened. Everything I said in

71
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:58.240
the Patreon app basically is coming true. I told you guys that this dude

72
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.040
there was something up, and that's
all I'll say. The patrons know it

73
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.519
was a very um heated conversation over
on patreo. Oh for a hot minute,

74
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.879
Yeah, I remember. So it's
one of those things where, um,

75
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.000
that's why we're not talking about them
in the main show. It has

76
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:16.079
enough mainstream media attention. And I
don't think, from a expert uthologist as

77
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.839
myself, I don't think that we're
going to platform this young man for the

78
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:25.759
sake of what we talked about over
on Patreon. All right, so let's

79
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.480
let's talk. Let's talk waffle house. Let's talk waffle house. So growing

80
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.160
up, you were a huddle house
girl, right, yes, so you

81
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.000
reserve waffle House for very late night, and that's the only thing that's really

82
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:41.079
open was huddle House, not twenty
four huddle House is a huddle house.

83
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.199
Let's let's start there, because before
I bet you I'd never heard of huddle

84
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.839
house. You're right, so huddle
House was a better version of waffle House.

85
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:56.120
I know a lot, a lot
of alternative alternative version. You better

86
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.920
not let mammo hear you say it's
not better, all right, So huddle

87
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:06.360
House has all the options that waffle
House has times ten. Okay, continue

88
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:12.439
with your lines. You literally saw
the like ten page menu that huddle House

89
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.639
office. Okay, Well, as
as you can get his evidence at the

90
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.920
cheesecake factory. You can get steak
of waffle house. Let's you can get

91
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:24.040
steak shrimp. You can get mozzarella
sticks, you can get all breakfast.

92
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.319
You can get Belgian waffles as well
as regular waffles and pancakes. There are

93
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.399
a few things I trust in the
world, less than twenty four hours shrimp.

94
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.839
Well, it was good, very
few things I try. I ate

95
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:39.600
a huddle House religiously every week,
so it's it's good. So how's the

96
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:44.639
tapeworm doing? Okay? Oh okay, So huddle House, As Brittany said,

97
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.040
it's I want to know if it's
owned by the same I have no

98
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:55.439
idea family the house family. Did
they also make a doctor house? I

99
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.199
don't know how s m D is
actually waffle house and fucking disguise. It's

100
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.839
big house. It's big house.
It's all it's always been. It's always

101
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.720
been. Okay, so what what
in your opinion makes huddle house better?

102
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.800
Apart from huddle house is allegedly superior
menu, which is debatable. Huddle Houses

103
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.800
where you take your family after you
go to church on Sundays. Waffles waffle

104
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.920
House is where you take your degenerate
cousins who drank too much moonshine on the

105
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:26.160
weekend. I mean, you don't
have to say it, Okay, okay,

106
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.120
but have you ever heard of the
huddle house index? Yes, huddle

107
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.240
house the weather index. Oh,
I'm sorry, because it's actually called the

108
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.679
waffle house. Yeah, exactly,
See, you're already making this is how

109
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.480
I know you're full of shit.
Oh okay, this is the horses all

110
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.279
over Okay, so so waffle House
index. For those who don't know,

111
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.919
it's an informal metric named after after
the ubiquitous southern US restaurant cheam waffle House.

112
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.360
It's uh so, basically, what
this is is FEMA will utilize waffle

113
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.519
House for how bad a disaster is
in certain areas if the and I'm gonna

114
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.720
kind of like buy this a bit, it's mainly for hurricanes. But primarily

115
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.399
what the waffle House index is a
sphema. If there's let's say, a

116
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.360
hurricane, a tornado, a flood, whatever, if the waffle house is

117
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.320
still open, it's like orange.
Once the waffle louses closed down, it's

118
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.519
red alert on the National Guard en
it's probably martial law coming up next.

119
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:24.600
Huddle House doesn't have that, and
there's good reason because US. Now,

120
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.360
don't get me wrong, I'm not
committed to the job. Okay, I

121
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.759
have seen more huddle Houses closed in
the I don't know three years that i've

122
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:39.320
known they've existed than the thirty that
i've seen. Like waffle House, hears,

123
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.240
waffle House doesn't close ever unless it's
fire bombed. You're right, go

124
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:50.600
on, but it's it's damn good
food. It's commitment issues, probably crime.

125
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.679
So okay, waffle House has a
and this is gonna be kind of

126
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.600
a sob story, has a soft
place in my heart and the reason we're

127
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.000
bringing up waffle House. We literally
went to eat waffle House tonight, but

128
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.759
we had a rental car, went
and took it back, stopped at waffle

129
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.799
House on the way back. That's
the whole reason we're doing this episode.

130
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.679
There's no like, it wasn't suggested. It was just huh, waffle House.

131
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.879
I bet some crazy shit happens here. Boy, were recorrect. Yes,

132
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.279
so waffle House has a soft place. But when my my my father

133
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.960
passed away, waffle House was like
the home away from home for me.

134
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:24.799
And I was in that era where
like Walmart was still open twenty four hours,

135
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.759
but they were getting real strict on
the fuckery. Yeah how who could

136
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.559
come in if they were gonna be
watching you when you walked in? Yeah,

137
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.240
I'm pretty sure I still hold the
record in Sydney, Ohio for like

138
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.519
the fastest getting kicked out of Walmart. I walked in, hopped into a

139
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.000
cart, like into the you know, the little little bed area cart by

140
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:48.159
the way, not buggy. I
hopped into the little bay of the cart

141
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:54.159
from my friend to push me around. And this old woman who I she

142
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.639
looks a lot like the you know
the the gum gum from a night at

143
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.600
the museum. The yes, the
what is t Yes, that's what her

144
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.720
face looked like. And she just
hit me with a fucking nope, yes,

145
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.840
yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am. I understand. I'm getting the

146
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.960
fuck out of here because you were
going to beat my ass, so naturally,

147
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.080
next stop it. If you're in
Sydney, Ohio, you know waffle

148
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.200
House is the next stop. I
have spent the night at waffle House more

149
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.919
times than I care to count.
There was this woman and I'd say she

150
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.679
had to be one hundred and seven
that worked at waffle House named Bridget.

151
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.519
Bridget put up with my bullshit because
I too, this time, thirty years

152
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:37.399
old night will still I did this
at fifteen. I do it at thirty

153
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.320
when I get coffee, which is
very rarely, and they say how much

154
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.360
creamer do you want? Honey?
I need enough to build a house,

155
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.639
and what I want to build a
house? I will sit there and build

156
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:54.200
a fucking house out of creamer and
use like four of them. That's that's

157
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.000
been my I have no idea where
that came from, and it's always been

158
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.039
my fucking thing. Okay, I
love waffle House, but the reason I'm

159
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.440
bringing up the overnight I stayed so
one night we played a show my band

160
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.120
did at the Sydney Boat Club and
we all went to waffle house to celebrate.

161
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.720
This guy came in and this is
no exaggeration, and a banana speedo,

162
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.600
a banana speedo, Confederate flag like
cut off shirt, but it was

163
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:26.039
like a button up like it definitely
wasn't designed to be a cutoff dress shirt.

164
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.399
And this dude comes in flip flops, banana speedo. I think it

165
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.600
was like the weekend of country concert, which is like the dumbest fucking That's

166
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.960
a whole another conversation. He comes
in and he just looks around, looks

167
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.320
over at this guy. And this
dude, when I tell you, he

168
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.120
shit bricks. This was like the
fucking Hell's Angel. He's on this like

169
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.559
eighty eight Harley Rogue Glide that beat
the shit out of him. Urge.

170
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.639
He wrote it didn't bother anybody.
He was in there. I think his

171
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.879
name was ted o'tom. This dude
didn't bother nobody. He just played George

172
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.639
in the jukebox. You knew he
was in there because it was just the

173
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.120
same four George Street songs over and
over and over. Sounds like my kind

174
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.480
of person. Nobody fucked with this
guy. He would like get two or

175
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.320
three coffees and then tip like ten
dollars. I mean this is like two

176
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.000
thousand and six, two thousand and
seven, so like pre economy being shittier

177
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.840
than it was back then. Yeah, Banana speedo guy comes in and says,

178
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:28.279
hey, who's got that ugly ass
Harley in the parking lot? Oh

179
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.440
god? And Ted Tom stands up
and uh, he flattens his mustache and

180
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:39.120
he says, that would be me. I had never heard this man talk,

181
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.879
and I realized, like this dude, he sounds if anyone who's an

182
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.679
old school UFC fantasy. It sounds
like Don Fry, and he's that that

183
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.720
would be me. He goes,
I just hit it with my truck.

184
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:56.000
Oh no, And so he doesn't
even look outside to verify that this did

185
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:01.240
not happen. This dude was pished, drunk. There's a Kroger that's attached

186
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.960
to like the waffle house plaza.
He hit a different Harley altogether, and

187
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.759
Ted Tom walks over and just fucking
him out, plays him the fuck out.

188
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.320
Yeah, one shot like roadhouse style
reaches down and grabs him by the

189
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.679
buttons of this Confederate flag cut off
shirt, and you can hear him popping

190
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.000
the buttons as he's dragging him out
of the waffle house. He comes back

191
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.679
in and he says, I think
he got the wrong bike, and then

192
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:35.519
sat down and finished his coffee and
left like nothing happened. Okay, the

193
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.000
cops showed about twenty five minutes later, and we're like, we there wasn't

194
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.720
even a guy with a Harley here. Yeah, we don't know what about.

195
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.679
That's a good thing about waffle house. You can commit like several felonies

196
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.440
and you're probably fucking fine. Well, except for one story that I'm gonna

197
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:54.960
tell you today, because several felonies
were allegedly talked about and potentially almost committed.

198
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.679
There's just something about waffle House that
brings out the best in people.

199
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.879
So I'm gonna start the went off
because I kind of have to. There's

200
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:09.960
there's very few people that are better
than Ted Tom here in my waffle house

201
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.320
story, and the one is our
Lord and Savior kid fucking rock Yep,

202
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.679
how'd I know that was the one
that you brought up? On October twenty

203
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.240
first, two thousand and seven musician
Dash God, that's what it says.

204
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.759
I'm not making that up. Kid
Rocks tour us stopped at the waffle House

205
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:30.039
after performance in downtown Atlanta. It's
always Georgia. Always. That is this

206
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:35.399
consistent theme, and the research I've
done for waffle House is always fucking Georgia.

207
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.120
What is going on at the Georgia
waffle House? Guys? Are you

208
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.279
okay? I've driven through Atlanta a
handful of times, always at night,

209
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.679
and there's always a fifty percent chance
that I'm going to see some sort of

210
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:54.320
apocalyptic event on the Driving through Atlanta
is like the worst times in my life.

211
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.159
Never, I don't know, it's
It's waffle House has like a pheromone

212
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.639
that just out your inner double wide
and you can't help it. But they

213
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.879
had to show ass. So while
at the restaurant, Kid Rock got into

214
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:12.279
a heated argument with another customer,
Harlan Atkins. The disagreement soon turned into

215
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:18.039
a brawl outside of the waffle house. Rock insisted Atkins insulted a member of

216
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.480
his entourage. Well. Atkins maintained
that he was speaking to the woman about

217
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.480
a text message and phone call he
received from her, so I know the

218
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.039
backstory, but I'm gonna finish this
and I'll tell you the full story,

219
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.840
because of course this is the one
that I know all about. Yeah,

220
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.440
Atkins is on record saying I just
don't even know what I said to him

221
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.759
to start him jumping on me.
Rock said he only verbally, not physically

222
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:42.240
attacked Atkins, but was arrested hour
An hour later, he was sentenced to

223
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:47.679
a year's probation, six hours of
anger management, find a thousand dollars,

224
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.879
had to do eighty hours or community
service. Three years after the incident,

225
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:57.559
Atkins won forty thousand dollars from rocking
company and punitive damages. So there's more

226
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:02.240
to this than this. And I
can tell you this because I watched a

227
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:04.960
fucking unhinged Kid Rock. I've seen
all of them. No one can send

228
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.240
me a Kid Rock performance or interview
I haven't seen. When I tell you

229
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:15.200
I know my Rock, I'm oh, there's just something and and the thing

230
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.240
is like it's I like, I
loved Kid Rock before the politics, and

231
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.559
to this day, I'm adamant that
picture by Cheryl Crow and Kid Rock will

232
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.440
play at my wedding. Yeah,
as an argument we've been having for years

233
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.480
and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
now, not even an argument. It's

234
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.799
just a it's a it's a fucking
fact. Okay. So the backstory to

235
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.359
this, So the guy was making
lewd comments towards this woman, who I'm

236
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.839
pretty sure was like a groupie situation
if I remember, if my memory serves,

237
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.200
Kid Rock told him to stop like
four times. According to the waitress,

238
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.039
who we all know waffle house waitresses
are the best witnesses, said that.

239
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.240
In fact, Kid rockets said like, hey, knock it off.

240
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.960
I'm gonna knock your block off,
like fucking quit. That dude then insulted

241
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.640
his music, and then all hell
broke loose. According to the waitress,

242
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.319
kid Rock punched him in the side
of the head and then drug him outside

243
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:12.119
and beat the fucking breaks off of
him. And Kid Rocks the guy I

244
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.200
never I never touched him, but
like everyone else in the waffle house,

245
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.359
like, no, you beat the
shit out of him. We saw it

246
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.319
happen. Well, if that was
the case, why didn't the guy sue

247
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:25.359
for physical damage? Well? I
think he tried, but no one would

248
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:27.240
admit that he did it. Let's
be honest, are you really going to

249
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:33.559
side against kid Rock in a waffle
house. There are certain lines you don't

250
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.880
cross as an American. There's like
a few like lines of treason. That's

251
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.319
that's at the very top. Jesus
Christ. Okay, go ahead, what

252
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:47.480
do you got? Woman strips down
before punching another in the face and kinnessau

253
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.880
Georgia. I mean that could happen
anywhere, though, Why did she strip

254
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.000
down? A woman walked into a
waffle house, stripped down and started to

255
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.920
throw plates at the windows. She
even went as far as to punch an

256
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.200
other customer in the face, breaking
her nose. Police how to use a

257
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.640
stunned gun to stop the woman.
She was charged with several misdemeanors, including

258
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:12.640
assaulting the police officers. But it
doesn't say why. Okay, so let's

259
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:19.480
let's break this down. What would
possibly motivate me to go into a waffle

260
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:26.920
house and start throwing stuff? They're
playing Picture Good rockets Share. If someone

261
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.799
on what's it called touch tunes?
Yeah, if someone on touch tunes paid

262
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:36.640
to skip my kid Rock, I'm
probably going to jail. Okay, let's

263
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.279
assume that's what happened and we'll just
move on. Okay, speaking of altercations,

264
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.759
did you see that video this went
around about a year ago of the

265
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.960
chair being thrown at the waffle House
brawl. This woman is like arguing with

266
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:53.240
somebody directly in front of her,
and then there's a fight that breaks out

267
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:59.000
to the right of her. In
a fucking chair WWF style comes across the

268
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:03.640
room. She one hand catches it
and throws it back. Yep, proceeds

269
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.559
to get fired. Yeah, then
such bullshit. I think she got her

270
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:10.640
job back though after media. I
mean, you would hope so, and

271
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.359
you would hope that she'd be like
at like the instructor at the waffle House

272
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:19.039
Self Defense League. Okay, if
there's not a waffle House fight club,

273
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.960
I'm very disappointed there's that. Don't
talk about it. And then please tell

274
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:29.440
me you saw there's a vine.
This was twenty fifteen where there's two I

275
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:33.119
was. I think it was a
cook and a waitress beating the shit out

276
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.319
of each other, and the guys
just in there. Can I get a

277
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.359
waffle? And you can see your
boom boom boom. This one's bashing.

278
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:47.359
She's bashing her fucking head against the
like the like reserving area, and he's

279
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.000
like, can I get a waffle? Can I please? Just get a

280
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.720
waffle and she's beating the shit out
of this woman. Yeah, yeah,

281
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.920
I wonder if if like they have
a waffle house equivalent in the UK.

282
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.079
They have no Australia. Probably the
UK, I don't think so. I

283
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:08.079
don't think the UK has anything fun. Okay, okay, a driver Okay,

284
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.119
we're gonna continue with Georgia. A
driver crashed straight through the wall of

285
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:17.160
a waffle house and noon and Georgia. Fortune smiled on the patron of this

286
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.599
waffle house, though luckily no one
was sitting in the booth the car crashed

287
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.799
into. The police chief reported,
I looked up like the actual full report.

288
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.599
Unfortunately, most of these news articles
have been taken down because they're pretty

289
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:34.319
old. This guy went to go
pick up his last paycheck on Friday.

290
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.759
They didn't have the check, so
he went out to his car and crashes

291
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:47.000
into the waffle house. Understandable response. It was Thursday. They let him

292
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:55.559
go for using certain products on the
job, so this dude was blitzed out

293
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:57.319
of his fucking head. Thought it
was Friday. Said I'm getting my last

294
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:00.680
check. I don't have it,
so than the appropriate response was I'm gonna

295
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:06.079
crash my fucking suburban in the waffle
house. Oh god, see that.

296
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.519
That's the thing is I do know
this little bit of waffle house knowledge.

297
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:14.200
So they make they purposely make the
waffle house smaller, so you'll never see

298
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:18.160
a large waffle house anywhere. It's
by design. I just watched a video

299
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.880
on waffle house. This isn't my
subconscious Actually this is. This came from

300
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:25.640
multiple places, but it's smaller and
condensed to give it that nineteen forties diner

301
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.039
field. That's the whole reason of
the design of the boost so close together.

302
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.480
And it's actually funny. The reason
there's no dividers between booths is to

303
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:37.599
encourage patrons to have a conversation with
one another. I don't think they just

304
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:40.759
the byproduct of those patrons are going
to beat the shit out of each other.

305
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:44.279
But yeah, so it's it's by
design. But you would think,

306
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:49.079
like, with the money they're saving
by making the locations small, bulletproof glass,

307
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:56.079
some vibranium walls, something, there's
got to be something more they can

308
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.000
do for the defensive structure of waffle
house. What's the percentage of waffle houses

309
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:07.200
built two waffle houses being torn down
or driven through? I wonder, well,

310
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.160
I don't think that waffle houses get
torn down. I think they just

311
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.480
they fly off to that great waffle
maker in the sky and another one pops

312
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.559
up. It's like dollar generals,
they just just does the great was it

313
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:25.799
the orca? Not orca orca whale? It but flying bird thing? What's

314
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:30.640
it called? The Harald? The
herald? The stork, the s the

315
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:34.920
Harald? What are you on?
The stork? That's how that's the next

316
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.839
T shirt? Right there? A
stork flying in a fucking waffle house with

317
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:42.079
a UFO behind it. That's the
next shirt. Right. Oh my god,

318
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:48.039
I love waffle house so much.
There's now we can all agree that

319
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:53.039
no matter if your upper class lower
middle class, we're all the same when

320
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:56.200
people when it comes to waffle house. Here's the thing about waffle houses,

321
00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:00.559
and I've been in this situation.
You can have a homeless guy with no

322
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.640
pants on at one end of the
bar and a guy with a fucking rolex

323
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.279
sitting next to you, and then
you in the middle, and everyone's eating

324
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:14.079
a waffle or some hash browns.
We're all family. It doesn't matter where

325
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.880
you come from until you start talking, and then you start fighting. It's

326
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:19.240
like the do It's like to talk
about drive through at two am. You

327
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:23.519
can have a fucking like two thousand
and one Honda Civic with no catalytic converters

328
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:27.559
has been sold four times behind a
fucking Bentley And we're all here for one

329
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:33.279
thing, and it's the live moss. Okay, continue. The next one

330
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:38.559
I got is workers found man living
on a waffle house roof. I can

331
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:44.119
think of no better place to live. It's flat, it's super flat.

332
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:49.599
You get, you get the waff
of waffles, waffles and wensty cigarettes and

333
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:56.680
disappointment and disappointment. An air conditioning
repairman went up on a waffle house roof

334
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.640
to perform some maintenance, but he
came across something more than just a broken

335
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.839
air conditioner. He found a makeshift
home someone had made for themselves on top

336
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.000
of the roof. But it doesn't
say where how much you wanted beds in

337
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.920
Georgia? Does it say what year? This was? No? Okay,

338
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.000
I did not know that that's something
to be afraid of, right? So

339
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.480
what was that movie we watched recently
about the airbnb? What was it called

340
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:25.400
Babylon or Monster? Uh? I
know what you're talking some movie on HBO

341
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:30.279
Max or just Max. Now that's
that's it's got the guy who plays Pennywise

342
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.160
in it. Anyway, not relevant. Underneath there's like this like giant catacomb

343
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:40.160
tunnel thing. Anyway, I went
down this rabbit hole about a week ago,

344
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.119
give or take, and I found
out Barbarian Barbarian, that's what it

345
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.960
was called. I was close with
Babylon. There's this problem in the South,

346
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:52.680
specifically in Florida, and there's all
it's actually funnily enough, and I

347
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.839
know the reason why. It's in
North Carolina where they have these people who

348
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.920
come like the seasonal homes, right
yeah, where people are breaking in and

349
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.200
squatting. So squatting is nothing new. You see videos all the time someone

350
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:08.559
like taking possession of a residence because
someone fucking moved out or got foreclosed on.

351
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:14.319
This is worse. There's this like
rash and it's been it's been happening

352
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:17.559
for years, but like twenty twenty
two, twenty twenty three, it ramped

353
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:22.920
up where people are breaking in and
making makeshift homes inside of the homes and

354
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:29.960
living there, like the Florida Leafers
will come up in North Carolina and they

355
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.559
don't know there the entire time.
There was one uh is it Gainsboro,

356
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:38.279
North Carolina, something Borough, North
Carolina. This sixty five year old man

357
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:41.319
and his I think it was like
a forty eight year old wife come up

358
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.400
from Florida. They had it wasn't
a time shore. I think they owned

359
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.400
the home in North Carolina, but
they only come up during the yeah leaf

360
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.559
for time. So they were there
for a month, maybe month and a

361
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.880
half, and they were getting ready
to move back to Florida. The entire

362
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.079
time, they thought they were hearing
rats in the walls. They couldn't figure

363
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.279
it out. They had two exterminators
come out, they couldn't figured out.

364
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.440
They called. They end up calling
animal control. Animal Control comes out and

365
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:10.680
was like, hey, this like, you can't call us for this.

366
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.680
It's not fucking Florida. Don't call
us again. Yeah. While they're there,

367
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:17.799
they hear it and the guy's like, yeah, that's not a rap.

368
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:19.920
I don't know what the what the
what is this? So he sits

369
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:25.200
there and they have the garage door
open. As they're standing there, a

370
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:30.720
hole opens up in the drywall.
The guy had had this like makeshift ladder

371
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.440
set up this homeless guy, and
the ladder broke and he caught himself by

372
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:41.079
punching through the drywall as Animal Control
standing right there. He had been living

373
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.359
there for four years. The guy
had owned the house for six. Oh

374
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:49.279
my god, this is the kicker. He was having mail delivered to the

375
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:57.480
back door, so he quite literally
would come downstairs once they want to sleep,

376
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.039
and he had something. I don't
know how this is set up with

377
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.720
the mail company, but they were
sticking it underneath the welcome mat of the

378
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:10.759
back door what and they were just
letting it happen. So I don't know

379
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.920
if North Carolina is just like super
chill with their mail company, because I

380
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.119
don't think that would fly here in
Ohio. No. But yeah, that's

381
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:19.319
how they figured out who was there
for four years, because they found like

382
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:26.759
medical bills and stuff dating back four
years that were like unopened and addressed to

383
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.880
that address. Oh my god,
tell me that's not fucking terrifying. Well,

384
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:36.039
the the housing situation in North Carolina, specifically western North Carolina, is

385
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.599
horrible, and part of that A
large part of that is due to leaver

386
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:45.359
some people from Florida we call them
Floridians, but they buy up these homes,

387
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.200
only live in them for a month
or two for fall, or for

388
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.759
summer for what have you, mostly
fall, and then the rest of the

389
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.680
time they sit empty, when that
home could be a rental for someone in

390
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.440
need, who actually needs housing year
round, who has a job in the

391
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:06.200
area. So it's a pretty While
touristing does bring money to the economy down

392
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:11.240
there, it's a very huge trade
off that isn't always worth it. You

393
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:15.640
could have homeless people living in those
houses. You're saying that, so if

394
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:18.880
they put that warning for all the
Florida but no, So I look into

395
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.359
this, and this is happening all
over the country. There's a rash for

396
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.480
them, happening in Denver, Colorado, Aspen, Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.

397
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.599
It's happening all over the country.
And people are like figuring out how

398
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:37.920
to shimmy into walls because apparently it's
something with like modern construction doesn't have as

399
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:40.960
thinner walls, or maybe it's it's
something there's not as much filament in the

400
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:42.279
walls. I don't know how that
works, but there's something to do with

401
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:49.079
modern construction makes this ten times easier
to like move in between a house basically

402
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:52.519
completely fucking unchecked. So now every
time we get in an airbnb and I

403
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.359
hear like any kind of a noise. I'm going to a second guess if

404
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.480
it's a person just like that,
I ruined their BnB market for every listener.

405
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.119
Yeah you're welcome. Okay, what
else we got about waffle house?

406
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.440
Waffle House employee tries to be a
superman and goes on the ride of his

407
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.799
life. All right, I know
exactly what happened, all right, tell

408
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:17.119
me, meth no, that's all
I got. That's as far as my

409
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:19.960
brain would allow me to get.
Three teenagers left waffle house without paying.

410
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:26.000
Instead of taking the loss, one
waffle house employee decided to chase after the

411
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.119
car. He jumped on the hood
of the car and managed to dial nine

412
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:36.519
one one, even after the car
had reached sixty miles per hour sixty or

413
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:44.039
sixteen sixty six zero. He's getting
that, that guy, right, that's

414
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.359
Johnny. Johnny's been there fourteen years, passed up for assistant manager nine times.

415
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:53.440
He's not about to make it ten. Holy shit? Is there anything

416
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:57.039
in this world I care about enough
to jump on a sixty mile an hour

417
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:03.519
moving car. I don't know,
Kid Rock, I think it's that's about

418
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.359
it. I do that. I
do that for Kid Rock. Yeah,

419
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:17.079
we'll still and kidnap me how fast? Okay about forty five? Forty five

420
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.839
I'll save you pass that. I
still have to pull out of the waffle

421
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:26.799
house parking lot. Mine he was
holding on while they reached sixty miles.

422
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:30.839
I just I can't imagine. So
they had to reverse out of the parking

423
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.640
of I mean, there's just so
okay, the logistics of this make my

424
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.960
fucking head hurt. Well, they
probably bagged out and then he jumped on

425
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.279
the hood as they were backing out. They tried to sweal out of the

426
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.000
parking lot. Okay, So you're
familiar with like the the stolen valor videos

427
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.359
on YouTube, right, Yeah,
so I've seen it with military, Like

428
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.799
it was like a pretty popular YouTube
trend to like out these guys. I

429
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.680
don't see it much in law enforcement, which makes this next story ten times

430
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:01.240
funnier. Okay. A man storm
into a waffle house in Statesboro, Georgia,

431
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:06.279
Oh my god, Georgia and demanded
a discount because he was, as

432
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:12.039
he claimed, a detective. Detectives
work hard, and hard workers deserve discount

433
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:15.240
waffles, right, that was his
reasoning. When he did not get the

434
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:22.119
discount, he punched the cook in
the face and left. He was arrested

435
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:27.440
about I think it said a week
later. Let me see, six days

436
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:32.400
later he was arrested. He was
a security guard. Oh my god,

437
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.119
that is like the most security guard
thing I've heard all night. Let me

438
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.599
let me, let me let you
guys in on a little secret about the

439
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:45.440
security industry you guys have. There
are two types of security guards. The

440
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:50.680
ones who don't want to work a
factory. Those are the good ones for

441
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.480
the most part. Then you have
the ones who can't get into the police

442
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:58.480
academy for one reason or another.
And those are the paple arts. And

443
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.519
they are not You can't tell them
they're not cops because they have a license.

444
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:07.799
In a fucking story, they will
citizens arrest your ass and a heartbeat.

445
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.599
Yep. I've had a few of
these over the years, but the

446
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:15.640
worst one ever I had to go
up at a previous company to the Lima

447
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:20.519
Mall. Now, for those of
you aren't familiar, so so Austin can

448
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:23.400
kind of back this up. Lima
is not known to be a great place

449
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:30.880
to just exist. The Lima Mall
is even worse. So I went up

450
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:34.839
there and I think I had to
go check guard cards. Guard cards are

451
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.400
our licenses and I was just checking
to see as everyone still in date and

452
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:39.400
they don't need to do pictures,
so on and so forth, uniforms stuff

453
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:45.079
that I get up there and this
guy walks up to me because I think

454
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.359
they were they were either no,
I got there right before they opened.

455
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.240
I think you weren't in uniform.
You. I don't think you had your

456
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:57.440
shirt on. And he has his
hand up and he's walking sixty feet away

457
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:01.519
with his hand up to image that
sixty feet away. And this dude is

458
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:06.599
power walking. And again, I'm
a big guy, so I can say

459
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.800
that he was. He was three
forty three sixty in a sch medium.

460
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:15.039
He wasn't equipped for what was going
to happen. And he is running with

461
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:19.679
his hand up as I'm trying to
open the door. He gets to the

462
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.599
door and he kicks it, rattles
the door, and I'm like, what

463
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:29.960
the fuck and he's telling me he
get back back civilian. I was like,

464
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:32.679
oh my god. So I end
up going back to the car.

465
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:35.679
I call his boss and they said, yeah, that's so, and so

466
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:39.519
he's not armed, and I'm like, he has a holster. I'm a

467
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:45.679
little fucking nervous. This dude is
clearly unhinged. I get let in talking

468
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:49.639
to everyone. Everyone else is normal, like a ten person staff. Nine

469
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:52.800
of them were perfectly like normal.
Bro down with you. The manager had

470
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:58.159
a Paul Blart like shrine in his
office, which I thought was the coolest

471
00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:02.360
thing ever. And this guy walk
and he goes, I hated to do

472
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:07.199
that to you, but you know, we got some shady folks in this

473
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:12.000
area. And then he proceeds to
grab his radio, like his little radio

474
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:16.280
microphone. Yeah, copy walks away. As he's walking away, the manager

475
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:20.000
looks me dead in the face and
says, yeah, he doesn't have a

476
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:25.880
radio. Apparently he does that whenever, like people are getting rowdy in the

477
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:29.800
mall, you know, the what
I can't what they used to call the

478
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:34.000
kids and the balls back in the
day. But he will grab this radio

479
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.360
to call for back up when actually
he's like on his cell phone in his

480
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:42.159
pocket, putting it on speaker phone
and pretending it's it's attached to a radio.

481
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.880
The other guards had radios. They
took his away because apparently every five

482
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:55.000
six minutes and the food court over, yep, we got we got three

483
00:35:55.039 --> 00:36:01.559
young men blue jeans over all day
long, apparently, and they couldn't fire

484
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:06.840
him because he had been there like
longer than the contract existed. He was

485
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.239
a legacy hired that they couldn't get
rid because he wasn't technically doing anything wrong

486
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:15.280
apart from being like really extra fucking
terrible person. Anyway, I hope that

487
00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:20.400
young man's doing well, and just
uh, if you, if you got

488
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:22.559
security, please don't do that.
Thirteen bucks an hour is not worth it.

489
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:27.519
It's not you just just dial it
back some. I had to,

490
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:30.880
you know, Pepper in these stories
because we did that security guard horror stories,

491
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:34.840
and we had so many security guards
reach out like, hey, that's

492
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:38.360
Jimmy. I know who this story
was about. And I'm not even I'm

493
00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:44.599
not even from I'm from fucking Hawaii, Jimmy. Everyone has a Jimmy at

494
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:47.679
their job site, and unfortunately,
most Jimmy's work in security. That's that's

495
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:51.480
how this works. But okay,
what's let's let's bring it back. The

496
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:57.840
waffle house Reddit was born in waffle
House, all right. I think Huddlehouse

497
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:00.920
is probably the better. If I
had to, yes, I think huddle

498
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:07.280
House might have just dethroned they did
exactly without waffle House, Reddit might not

499
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:14.280
have never been born. Co founder
Alex o'haneyan walked out of his l SAT

500
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:17.039
prep course and went to a waffle
house for food. He then realized he

501
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:21.960
did not want to be a lawyer
and wanted to do something else. Then

502
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:29.639
Reddit was born. That's it,
that's the origin story. Okay, I

503
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:34.360
mean, we gotta get one pass. I guess. I don't know.

504
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.840
I don't know. That might be
unforgivable. Where it was four chand made

505
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:44.639
like a dairy queen. Why,
I don't know. Anyway, near Memphis,

506
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.840
a waffle house employee stood up to
a would be robber and emerged victorious.

507
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:53.239
The employee thought the gun was plastic, called the man's bluff, refused

508
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:57.559
to open the register, and the
man began beating on the register with his

509
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:02.760
fist until police arrived. So I've
got to know, does waffle house have

510
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:07.880
a panic button? They can't,
honestly, I don't think, because you

511
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:13.800
know, can you imagine how many
times that would be pressed tonight? Yeah?

512
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:17.119
Yeah, Actually, just put it. Put a cruiser, a permanent

513
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:22.239
cruiser outside exactly. Just put the
waffle house next to the police station.

514
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.159
That's okay, partner with the police. Okay, So, so now we're

515
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:29.119
back to more waffle house videos.
There's one nake in the rounds right now

516
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:35.599
where this woman is clearly fucked up. Okay, when I now, when

517
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:38.440
I say, you guys know my
history. I I've been around my fair

518
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:43.480
share of illegal substances as a child. I've seen the effects that drugs have.

519
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:51.599
One something I have never This woman
was like full backbend but still standing

520
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:58.519
like that exorcist, and she's reaching
for the fucking grill. Oh I think

521
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:04.280
I've seen this video. It pans
over to the employee of the month picture

522
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:12.760
and it's fucking her. How bad
is your waffle house? That fl Frieda?

523
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:17.960
That fucking fentanyl Frieda is like employee
of the month. I'm not making

524
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:22.559
fun of the drug problem. I
know it exists, but it's funny when

525
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:27.360
it's a waffle house. It is
when it's on public display. You have

526
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:31.960
to laugh because you know she still
has a job. Yep, she still

527
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:35.119
works there. You know for a
fact. She came back in for a

528
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:38.679
double later that night. I just
I felt so bad and people to come

529
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:44.199
much like I think she's just sleeping. When was the last time you were

530
00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:47.239
that tired? I don't know,
I had a couple of friends work at

531
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:52.280
waffle House and it's it's bad.
There was a lot of training that goes

532
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:57.280
into being a waffle House server.
Number one Brazilian jiu Jitsu, Yeah,

533
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:04.519
number two, Karate, number three, Armed Forces Special Ops, the US

534
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.400
Army Rangers School. That's that's the
assistant managers. Enough they get a ranger

535
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:12.800
school. Yeah, exactly. I
don't think I've known anyone who's had the

536
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:19.920
honor of working, but I would
say I'm a little disappointed actually in our

537
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:24.440
country for more reasons than our obvious. I think Thanksgiving today parade, when

538
00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:29.119
they have the veterans come out,
let's put waffle House employees at the front.

539
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:35.159
Just one year again, I can
say this, It's okay, you

540
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:38.079
know. I just think that we
need to really be giving back to the

541
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:44.000
pillars of our community. Waffle House. I mean, without anyone who comes

542
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.119
to visit America, if you don't
go to a waffle house, you don't

543
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:53.760
truly experience the fear. Now you
can go. There are a few places

544
00:40:53.840 --> 00:41:00.199
that's pure Americana steak and shake that's
been open for way too long, like

545
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.599
way too long. Like I'm not
talking like the ones that like go down

546
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:05.760
and then reopen every couple of months. I mean, like the ones that

547
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:08.239
have been there for like fourteen years. More than that, you've never seen

548
00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:12.480
more than two or three people in
there at once. You know, it's

549
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:17.199
definitely a drug front. Those that's
pure Americana. And then waffle house is

550
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:22.400
just where you go if you don't
have all your teeth or if you don't

551
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:24.599
want to, that's a good place
to go. Yeah, all right,

552
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:27.760
what else do we got in the
waffle house bench here, Miss Britney.

553
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.800
All right? So the next one
I'm gonna cover is actually got me a

554
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:35.360
longer one because the second I saw
this, I couldn't believe that this actually

555
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:40.000
happened. So what hang on?
I hate, I hate to interrupt,

556
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:43.280
but I have to tell this one
right after the one I just told real

557
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:46.960
fast, Okay, go ahead,
So last story would be robber was thwarted

558
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:55.039
by fitting all freedom in this one. A robbery in Atlanta at the Atlanta

559
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:59.480
waffle House. Damn it, Atlanta. So here, up to this point,

560
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:02.239
we've been acting of the assumption that
waffle House isn't the classiest of joints.

561
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:06.639
Let me tell you why you're wrong. And Atlanta waffle House was robbed

562
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:10.360
in the heigh. It reached heist
status in Georgia when the stick up yielded

563
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:17.360
forty thousand dollars in jewelry. What
who the fuck it's wearing that much jewelry

564
00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:21.920
or that expensive jewelry waffle, It's
got to be an accident. So one

565
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:25.199
thought they had a fake rolex.
I refuse to believe anything else happened.

566
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:31.320
Or it was the Sunday Grainnies waffle. What is it about? I don't

567
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:35.800
know if this is where you came
from, you know, in your hold

568
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:38.760
On town. But okay, no, I don't you think Sydney, Ohio?

569
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:45.719
Is I remember going to church one
one in the pearls where pearls a

570
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:51.880
big deal. Yes, I don't
know where those went because suddenly no one

571
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:54.960
wears pearls anymore. But it used
to be like a who had the bigger

572
00:42:55.039 --> 00:43:00.760
and shinier pearl contest at church?
Yea? And they would always like group

573
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:05.440
up in these little like granny semicircles
where you knew if someone came in there

574
00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:08.360
were fakes, they were going to
be outed in front of the entire congregation.

575
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:13.199
Yeah, oh God, bless you. How Debbie, she must be

576
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:16.840
home hard times because I can tell
those are fakes. I know porcelain when

577
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:21.000
I see it, and that's porcelain. Oh God, bless her soul.

578
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:23.159
Oh poor Jimmy must have gotten a
little bit, must have gotten laid off.

579
00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:27.039
It's okay, though, Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know

580
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:30.880
what it was about the mid nineties
and pearls. Yeah, no, I

581
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:35.400
that's the string of threes that was
the most popular one. We need to

582
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:38.000
do an episode on dead trends,
and it's all just gonna be shit.

583
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:42.760
I'member my childhood the same. Okay, well, wait, okay, I

584
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.239
know you have another story, but
I we talked about this the other night,

585
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:47.639
and I have to ask my other
nineties kids. Okay, I don't

586
00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:51.840
remember what we talked about. Keep
this is not garbage pail kids. So

587
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:55.199
before someone, I can already hear
Facebook, it's not garbage pail kids.

588
00:43:55.920 --> 00:44:01.880
There was a toy sets and this
would have been I would say late nineties,

589
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:06.280
early two thousands, maybe mid two
thousands. I don't actually I'm not

590
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:08.719
good with time. Um. There
were these little toys. They were about

591
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:14.159
i'd say eight inches tall, and
they were plastic, but when you squeeze

592
00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:17.599
them, they would have a horrible
scent, and there was like I think,

593
00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:22.559
like vomit and earwax and stuff.
My dad got me a skunk one

594
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:25.440
as a kid. He had black
hair with like a silver streak. Who

595
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:28.559
knew I was going to grow up
to have a silver streak in my hair?

596
00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:31.519
That was you know, little it's
all silver, silver fox. It's

597
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:36.400
it's yeah, thirty, I'm thirty
and I look seventy three. You don't

598
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:40.320
day anyway? Does anyone remember what
those toys were called? And if so,

599
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:44.559
can someone send me one to the
po box? Dear God, do

600
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:46.480
not send it. I swear to
God, I need about four of them.

601
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:50.159
No, you don't. I have
plans. I cannot tell you guys

602
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:52.599
what it is. The haters will
slamtage me. But I have plans.

603
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.800
No I I we talked about the
other night because there was a skunk in

604
00:44:55.800 --> 00:45:00.159
the backyard and I've been racking my
fucking brain. I when I look up

605
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:05.000
like skunk kids online, I just
find a bunch of like, really means,

606
00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:08.480
what are threats? So like if
someone, if someone knows what this

607
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:13.679
is, let me know, because
I know Terrence is gonna know. Yeah,

608
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:16.119
someone's gonna know, And they're gonna
have had the same one. Like,

609
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:19.679
yeah, I used to smell that
thing all the time. I did

610
00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:22.079
too, So it's okay, skunks
smell different up here than they do in

611
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:27.039
the South. We talked about this
too. I don't think you just ever.

612
00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:30.800
I don't think you ever smell skunk
before I think against Okay, Okay,

613
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:36.519
Nectar of the Gods continue, No, all right, so this next

614
00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:40.280
one you gotta prepare for. Okay, elderly men meet at local waffle house

615
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:47.119
to conspire against the government. One
more time for the folks in the back.

616
00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:55.440
Elderly men meet at local waffle house
to conspire against the government. I

617
00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:59.440
mean, if you're gonna do it, and I mean it, birth,

618
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:04.000
thread it and read it is going
to be the downfall of humanity. I'm

619
00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:07.199
on record. I'm on record saying
that multiple times over. What was the

620
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.320
threat that they were going to Four
men, all over the age of sixty

621
00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:17.280
five were caught at their local waffle
house conspiring against the government. The group's

622
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:21.840
meeting spot was the local waffle house, where they talked about blowing up the

623
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:27.440
government and murdering masses of people with
poison. Okay, first off, the

624
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:30.639
government's not just a building like you
can't just go to you can't put the

625
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:39.480
government And where do you think this
was? Georgia had toko Georgia. Okay,

626
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:43.719
so let's let me let me back. Okay, so let me ask

627
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:49.920
you a quick question. If you're
going to do a crime, allegedly,

628
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:51.920
no, no, no, not
allegedly. If you're going to do a

629
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:57.599
crime, sixty five is a good
time to do it, like you don't

630
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:02.480
have a lot of good time left
all l let's just be honest for legal

631
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:07.000
reasons. This is a joke,
says you. I would say, yeah,

632
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:10.840
sixty five is a good point to
do some high trade. And you're

633
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:15.400
on a wash list. I've been
on that list. No, but I

634
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:17.719
think at like sixty five, all
the good in your life's pretty much gone.

635
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:22.679
All right, we're done. We're
done, you know. And what

636
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:24.280
are they gonna put a six you're
gonna go to you know, to jail

637
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:28.679
for life? What three years?
Okay, it's fine. You have a

638
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:31.079
much more cynical view on life than
a lot of other people. And we're

639
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:35.119
gonna continue, gentlemen, We're gonna
blow up the government. They were gonna

640
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:37.920
go to the government's house and just
hit him with a glow. Twenty five

641
00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:43.000
killed nuke shriek. It's gonna be
bad. Okay. What was their reasoning?

642
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:49.280
Um, No one's senior citizen taxas. Let me tell the story.

643
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.159
I can tell you it went from
sixteen to twenty dollars a month. I

644
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:59.360
gotta know. Okay. So at
the waffle house in Georgia, it's t

645
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:02.480
occa. I don't know how to
pronounce that. No one could believe that

646
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:07.880
gray haired men who came in almost
daily for their egg sandwiches and coffee would

647
00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:13.480
have been terrorists plotting to blow up
government buildings and murder masses of people.

648
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:17.760
They were blown up that bathroom with
eggs, sandwiches and coffee using poison from

649
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:22.800
a bean plant that people in that
rural part of the state grow to ward

650
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:27.119
off moles. This is the best
fucking story we've ever told on this.

651
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:36.920
This is dB tuber. Okay.
So the four men were accused of conspiracy

652
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:42.360
and maybe linked in loose association of
a fringe militia group targeting a government that

653
00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:47.159
they believe is out of control.
This is in two thou eleven. I

654
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:51.559
want you to keep that in mind
as I read this. Okay, So

655
00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:57.000
two eleven. What was happening in
two thousands? It was right after the

656
00:48:57.039 --> 00:48:59.760
recession. I thought the world was
pretty good. I didn't I didn't have

657
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:07.800
a house, though I have nostalgia
glasses. I graduated and ten and then

658
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:09.360
it all went downhills. I guess
two thousand and eleven one wasn't that good.

659
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:15.840
Okay, So there were three men, Dan Roberts, Ray Adams,

660
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:20.280
and Samuel Crump, age sixty seven, age sixty five, and age sixty

661
00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:23.440
eight. The men were arrested in
their homes by a wave of federal agents.

662
00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:28.719
So big, it's stunned people in
the mountain town of about twenty seven

663
00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:31.039
thousand people. That's about how many
people lived in that town. Okay,

664
00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:36.239
So, friends, family, and
members of the waffle house waitresses who fed

665
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:40.480
them in regularly either dismissed the plot
as a bunch of old men just talking

666
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:45.159
and trying to be big shots,
or they said they'd simply fallen in with

667
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:50.239
bad people. Okay, let me
ask you. So you worked at a

668
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:52.360
dime. I was literally just about
to say, with every old man and

669
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.119
there wanted in your pants. Let's
just be honest, every single one of

670
00:49:55.159 --> 00:50:01.199
them. Did you ever hear of
a plot overthrow, no big North Carolina.

671
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:07.320
I mean all the days dumbest shit
you heard in there, though I

672
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:12.079
didn't really listen to him that much. I mean, they just talked about

673
00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:15.280
farming, and they talked about what
equipment they were going to get the problem.

674
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:17.320
No one pays attention to old people. This could be like a fucking

675
00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:22.079
problem, This could be a problem. They talked about farming, and they

676
00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:24.480
talked about what they were gonna do
when they got back up on the hill,

677
00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:30.559
and that was it. They talked
about auctions, cattle auctions. Yeah,

678
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:36.360
I'm sure cattle auctions, weapons,
mass destruction with That's exactly what it

679
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:39.679
is. Ussein's right hand man right
there in fucking rural western North Carolina.

680
00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:45.039
Mister Adams, who worked for the
Federal Department of Agriculture growing crops for research,

681
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:50.320
was described as a compassionate man.
He was friends with everybody. I

682
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:53.559
guess to a fault, said at
Ed Adams, which is older brother,

683
00:50:54.039 --> 00:51:00.199
mister Adams is Ray Adams. Yeah, raise a compassionate man. He is

684
00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:02.800
not political at all. I doubt
he even knows who is running for president.

685
00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:09.000
Okay, as part of this groom, All right, Okay, so

686
00:51:09.559 --> 00:51:14.480
mister Adams, who played sena for
a local mason's order he belonged to,

687
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:19.679
had moved back to North Georgia Woods
where he grew up about three years before

688
00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:23.960
this. Okay, so he's a
freemason, straight and strike. After his

689
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:29.920
marriage ended, he had a daughter
who was studying law enforcement in Atlanta.

690
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:35.320
His small house along a dirt road
showed sides of the raid. Agents had

691
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:38.199
broken through his front window. The
doors to his house were hanging open,

692
00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:43.679
light still on a search warrant in
charging papers had been placed in the pile

693
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:49.559
of clutter for evidence. Investigators pulled
from the driveway with a few dozen castor

694
00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:54.719
bean plants that they were believed to
be the raw material for the biological toxin

695
00:51:55.039 --> 00:52:00.599
risen, which can be fatal if
ingested even a small rice poisoning. Yeah,

696
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:05.920
ricing, I'm sorry. Oh shit, these guys were big time.

697
00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:10.360
Are you being sarcastic? Right?
Why do you say that? Because riceing's

698
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:15.679
been used in like a lot of
high profile shit. Mister Adams last year

699
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:20.239
had planted some in his mother's yard
to help keep the moles away, and

700
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:25.280
it offered some to the neighbors as
an ornamental plant. Okay, I'm trying

701
00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:30.440
to kill the neighbors. I think
those darncaster beams are his biggest problem,

702
00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:36.880
his brothers said. Agents also pulled
about a dozen guns from the house,

703
00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:44.960
along with notebooks, toxic plant guides, and knives. Prosecutors said the government

704
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:51.920
said that on more than twenty occasions
between March and October of twenty eleven.

705
00:52:51.960 --> 00:53:00.400
I'm assuming yeah, FBI informants recorded
the men's conversations in this wall flouse.

706
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:04.400
Okay, so waffle house is no
longer a safe space, got it?

707
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:07.480
The plot began, Court paper said
with a meeting at mister Thomas's house,

708
00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:12.880
he asked the men if they were
committed to the plan. Mister Adams said,

709
00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:15.880
I'd say the first ones that need
to die are the ones in the

710
00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:22.920
government buildings. Okay. During another
conversation, mister Thomas is quotas saying as

711
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:28.599
he made a bucket list of government
employees, politicians, business leaders, and

712
00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:32.320
members of the media that needed to
be taken out to make the country right

713
00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:37.000
again. Okay, so this is
my this is Daddy Bob's one bit of

714
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:39.840
advice to all the criminals who listen
to our show. Don't make a fucking

715
00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:49.599
list of anything ever. Just don't. There's no way for US militiamen to

716
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:54.199
save this country, to save Georgia
without doing something that's highly, highly illegal

717
00:53:55.559 --> 00:54:05.400
murder, he said, America America. Apparently, so, mister Adams and

718
00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:07.840
mister Crumb, who once worked as
electricians, were allegedly trying to figure out

719
00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:13.280
how to turn the beans into poison
that they would fling from their car as

720
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:17.440
they drove along the Interstate on the
Eastern Seaboard and in Atlanta and New Orleans.

721
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:27.599
Okay, we need to so all
this started at a waffle house.

722
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:30.639
So their plan was just to throw
the beans out and hope they hit the

723
00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:37.960
government. I mean, no is
the answer, but that's my takeaway.

724
00:54:38.199 --> 00:54:43.760
Yeah, okay, so they went
to jail I'm assuming I'm assuming yes,

725
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:45.320
for the last three years of their
life, because that's all they really had

726
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:52.679
left. Yeah. Okay, Wow, I'm trying to process this in my

727
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:57.639
brain and think, is there anything
I've ever been passionate enough to form a

728
00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:01.639
militia about the price of kid Rock
tickets? That's it. That's about it.

729
00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:06.239
Well, they were actually connected loosely
to the militia that they were talking

730
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:10.599
about, had a website. It's
called um Georgia Militia is the group that

731
00:55:10.679 --> 00:55:16.400
they were very very specific. That's
that's some creative thinking in that babble house.

732
00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:22.679
But the militia's website had images of
automatic weapons, links to tea party

733
00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:30.639
websites, conspiracy theories ranging from what
really happened within Roun to who the Illuminati

734
00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:38.199
are? Okay, there's nothing wrong
with conspiracy theories. We have got to

735
00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:43.719
stop that stigma. The site list
as Captain Dan Roberts as the contact for

736
00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:51.559
the four hundred and fortieth squad of
the Georgia Militia. All right, there's

737
00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:53.559
a lot of give you guys,
the criminals who listen to the show a

738
00:55:53.639 --> 00:56:04.280
second bit of advice. Don't make
websites about your crimes. What There are

739
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:07.679
a few things like, Okay,
I live at one two three Bullard.

740
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:12.119
Yeah, like here's my home address. May or may not have automatic weapons.

741
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:15.599
Here's a picture of me holding one
in my living room. Doesn't mean

742
00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:20.119
I have it. Oh, I'm
sorry, I am fucking flabbergass. I

743
00:56:20.159 --> 00:56:21.920
got, I got, I got
a couple more to give you, but

744
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:28.239
nothing tops the fucking Grandpa Militia taking
down big government with soybeans. Yeah,

745
00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:30.880
that was their plan. Though,
that they were legitimately going to throw rice

746
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:36.280
and out of their car vehicles or
out of their vehicles on the interstate at

747
00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:44.519
at the government, at the government. That is fucking incredible, and it

748
00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:51.440
would have worked, wasn't for those
pesky waffle house waitresses. Okay, all

749
00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:52.920
right, I got I got two
more than one, slightly longer one.

750
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:57.079
I'm gonna let you end it out. That's that's all for me. This

751
00:56:57.199 --> 00:56:59.559
one just says, what did you
do today, honey? Oh, not

752
00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:01.599
much. I fell asleep at the
wheel, woke up, freaked out because

753
00:57:01.599 --> 00:57:05.719
the police were there, and then
began a high speed chase and to get

754
00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:08.400
the waffle house. If you're gonna
come out, you might as well get

755
00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:14.159
a waffle And then it says an
eighty three year old man and miramar Am

756
00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:19.280
I M Jesus m I R A
m R. Beach, Florida was believed

757
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:23.079
to be to be missing. Okay, I want to second to be missing

758
00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:27.639
for more than a day, and
he was actually just at the waffle house.

759
00:57:29.639 --> 00:57:32.679
Ah. I mean, there's not
I mean, unless you're trying to

760
00:57:32.760 --> 00:57:36.800
overthrow the government, there's not like
a much better place to spend your time

761
00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:40.840
in Florida. Okay, all right, last one I got here and this

762
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:45.679
one I read. I had to
read this twice. The man who robbed

763
00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:52.440
a waffle house, okay, makes
sense. With a fucking pitchfork? Ah,

764
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:55.559
how did that? How did that
fit through the door? So okay,

765
00:57:57.280 --> 00:57:59.639
this gentleman, it just I think
it just has him by his last

766
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:02.599
name. Woton was wearing coveralls,
a ski mask and carried the pitchfork when

767
00:58:02.599 --> 00:58:08.239
he entered the Buford Highway breakfast Eatery
and Norcross, Georgia, Georgia. Are

768
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:12.599
you okay, Georgia? Seriously,
you guys? All right? Actually I

769
00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:15.199
got one more whenever, When he
realized he couldn't get the cash register open,

770
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:20.079
he took the whole cash register and
exited the store with his pitchfork.

771
00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:23.880
You gotta keep it for ransom.
Wooton then ditched the weapon as he scdaddled

772
00:58:23.880 --> 00:58:28.000
out of there. I love it. That's a real This is a news

773
00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:32.039
website, and this is a Georgia
news website that used the term skidaddled out

774
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:36.440
of there, but two restaurant employees
grabbed it and used it to smash the

775
00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:44.400
back window of Wootton's truck. It's
a superman. Okay. Wooten then ditched

776
00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:47.880
the weapon as he scdaddled out of
there, but two restaurant employees grabbed it

777
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:52.639
and used it to smash the back
window of his truck. The police later

778
00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:57.679
detained Wooton and justice was pitched.
I mean served, this is a real

779
00:58:57.840 --> 00:59:04.920
news website right here, journalism.
Why did they break the window so they

780
00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:07.079
can identify the truck easier? I
don't want to know what kind of blood

781
00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:13.960
oath are waffle house employees? Is
that? Like? This is the cult?

782
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:15.880
Is this the end of the line? Like they know that after waffle

783
00:59:15.920 --> 00:59:20.920
house they have to go work at
McDonald's. Like, what what is possessing

784
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:27.159
this these people to take such drastic
action? It's a cult. I'm telling

785
00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:30.400
you, sign me up. Okay, you got the last one here.

786
00:59:30.440 --> 00:59:35.920
Then clowns beat up boy at a
local waffle house. A fucking course they

787
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:39.480
did, because why why wouldn't they? Members of the Insane Clown Posse were

788
00:59:39.559 --> 00:59:44.559
arrested at an Indiana waffle house for
beating up an eighteen year old guy.

789
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:47.320
They can only assume the guy told
the clowns how ridiculous they looked, and

790
00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:52.719
they quickly wiped those painted smiles off
their faces. Well, first and foremost,

791
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:55.440
woot woot. You don't uh,
you don't mess with the Juggalo family.

792
00:59:55.840 --> 01:00:01.440
Okay, no, um, I
have a long violent history with insane

793
01:00:01.480 --> 01:00:06.519
clown boss. That's a whole other
conversation. I'm no longer I'm no longer

794
01:00:06.599 --> 01:00:10.760
addled, Just so everyone, I'm
recovered. But okay, because you have

795
01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:15.000
to assume they went in there were
shaggy too, dope, violent jay went

796
01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:19.800
in there with their face paint on, and then someone thought it was a

797
01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:28.199
good idea, this eighteen year old
boy to insult two great men actually members

798
01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:30.880
of the insane clown posse. Oh
my god, Yes, that's what I'm

799
01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:36.119
saying. I thought it was just
like fans. I mean that they don't

800
01:00:36.159 --> 01:00:39.480
get me starting with fans that they're
they're they're labeled a gang legitimately, like

801
01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:46.159
legally they're a gang. Yeah,
but concerts, so I can I can

802
01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:50.280
attest. I just want to say, you saw two grown men walk in

803
01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:54.199
with face paint and said that's that's
who I'm gonna pick on, like they

804
01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:59.400
was about pre or post like clown
what year? It doesn't say, Okay,

805
01:00:59.440 --> 01:01:02.199
I wonder if this is pre your
post clown ud be pre clown,

806
01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:07.679
yeah, pre clown sent Yeah.
I just love the because the thing is

807
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:12.840
like, you were tough until you
got beat up by a clown at the

808
01:01:12.880 --> 01:01:17.599
waffle that's your legacy, that's in
your permanent record. If that guy goes

809
01:01:17.639 --> 01:01:21.239
to run for like local office,
it's like he didn't need your ask me

810
01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:25.519
by a clown government. That's all
you have to do. That's probably why

811
01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:31.360
those old men it's all one full
circle. Okay, that's fucking incredible.

812
01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:34.960
All right. Well that being said, uh, last thing is to tie

813
01:01:35.039 --> 01:01:37.400
up here getting at us on Pokemon. Go send us presence. We'll send

814
01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:40.800
you presence, send us in your
listener stories. We'll have that up maybe

815
01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:44.239
this week, maybe next week,
depends on how many stories we get.

816
01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:51.280
Yeah, support your local waffle house. They are I'm telling you, these

817
01:01:51.519 --> 01:01:55.000
young women and men at this waffle
house tonight. Oh yeah, let me

818
01:01:55.440 --> 01:02:00.199
let me tell you. I was
about to throw my fucking burke. I

819
01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:06.639
understand waffle house rage. I get
it now. So there was these these

820
01:02:06.719 --> 01:02:08.480
girls at the high at this high
top table. They weren't like being louder

821
01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:12.960
obnoxious that I think they were like
high schoolers. Yeah, like while we

822
01:02:13.079 --> 01:02:15.440
were in there. They weren't being
louder obnoxious, but they all ordered like

823
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:20.360
chocolate milk and I don't know what
all specialty stuff. Yeah, and then

824
01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:22.280
they like went out to their car, came back paid, didn't tip the

825
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:25.079
woman at all, And they had
been there. I heard little bits of

826
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:29.599
the conversation. They had been there
for like hours, a long time,

827
01:02:29.719 --> 01:02:32.199
getting refills and taking up this woman's
time. Didn't tip her, so we

828
01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:37.559
we gave her a good tip.
But like, don't do that to these

829
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:43.360
people, because when the world collapses
and FEMA comes looking, that's who's taking

830
01:02:43.440 --> 01:02:46.239
care of you and your children.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure whenever my friend

831
01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:50.239
I got hired at waffle house,
I'm pretty sure the wage was two thirteen

832
01:02:50.280 --> 01:02:53.719
an hour, two dollars and thirteen
cents. And explaining this real fast,

833
01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:58.840
because we have a bunch of people, for some fucking reason, from countries

834
01:02:58.880 --> 01:03:02.119
that like English is not their primary
language. Explain to them tipping culture,

835
01:03:02.159 --> 01:03:06.400
because that's something we've been asked about
before, and I always forget to explain,

836
01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:09.599
like tipping culture. Okay, So
we have two different minimum wages.

837
01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:15.159
So we have a minimum wage for
hourly services, and that is a non

838
01:03:15.440 --> 01:03:20.280
usually a non tipping culture. And
I'm pretty sure in Ohio it's eight twenty

839
01:03:20.320 --> 01:03:22.400
five unless it got I think it's
I think it's opped. But yeah,

840
01:03:23.639 --> 01:03:28.039
back when I was working, it
was seven twenty five an hour. Like

841
01:03:28.159 --> 01:03:30.199
when I was working at minimum wage, it was seven twenty five in North

842
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:36.039
Carolina. So you have the minimum
wage for hourly employees, and then you

843
01:03:36.159 --> 01:03:40.800
have tipped employees. Minimum wage which
is two dollars and thirteen cents is the

844
01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:45.039
minimum believe it was in North Carolina. So that's your guarantee take home correct

845
01:03:45.159 --> 01:03:49.559
if no one gives you an extra
money. So when it comes to tipped

846
01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:55.559
employees like your servers, you will
typically their hourly wage is only there to

847
01:03:55.679 --> 01:04:00.199
cover the taxes. So when they
get their way clear your bi weekly check,

848
01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:06.239
their hourly wage is all going to
go to um their count their states

849
01:04:06.360 --> 01:04:13.000
taxes, basically in counties taxes,
so basically they get no money if you

850
01:04:13.079 --> 01:04:16.480
don't tip them. So that is
that the tipping culture here in America is

851
01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:23.280
it solely relies on customer tips to
feed to the mouth of our servers for

852
01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:26.119
them to survive. Basically. Yeah, yeah, it's such a bizarre thing

853
01:04:26.199 --> 01:04:29.800
because I've we've I've I've like read
comments and see people and being like,

854
01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:31.679
hey, I don't understand this whole
giving people tips thing. I think we've

855
01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:34.400
only talked about like once or twice, like the three years of the show.

856
01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:38.800
And it's such a weird thing because
guess I don't think about other countries

857
01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:42.559
that that's just not Yeah, they
don't things work. It's actually insulting in

858
01:04:42.679 --> 01:04:46.360
Japan if you Yeah, I saw
there's a woman on TikTok. I don't

859
01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:50.519
know her name, but she does
like, um like things not to do

860
01:04:50.639 --> 01:04:54.719
in Japan. Yeah, they see
it as a charity, like you think

861
01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:57.599
that they need help and that's why
you're giving them money. Yeah, And

862
01:04:57.800 --> 01:05:00.280
her whole TikTok account is like basically
what not to do in your pain,

863
01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:03.519
And a big thing is tipping,
and she explains that there are certain restaurants

864
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:08.400
that allow you to tip the food
preparer. Yeah, but there will be

865
01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:11.000
like a sign out out front that
say it. And I know there's a

866
01:05:11.039 --> 01:05:14.320
few of the countries that are like
that that you you can tip the owner

867
01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:18.119
of the building for like having nice
agriculture or having a nice architecture rather,

868
01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:21.639
but you don't tip anyone that works
there like, it's like, hey,

869
01:05:21.840 --> 01:05:26.559
because they have survivable wages. Now, if you're doing catering and stuff like

870
01:05:26.639 --> 01:05:30.119
that, in the catering business,
your servers are normally paid a higher hourly

871
01:05:30.280 --> 01:05:33.599
rate because we do not rely.
We didn't rely on tipping. Yeah,

872
01:05:33.639 --> 01:05:40.960
we are an hourly employee. We
do a service for our hours basically like

873
01:05:41.079 --> 01:05:44.559
we don't. We aren't serving tables
necessarily. We have a big plan that

874
01:05:44.639 --> 01:05:48.320
we do, but individual servers only
get paid about two dollars an hour.

875
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:51.519
Yeah, it's like I remember the
very first time I heard about that,

876
01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:54.360
and I also gon get like a
thirty one. I think it was my

877
01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:59.079
sister working at the work somewhere the
spot, probably might have been at the

878
01:05:59.119 --> 01:06:01.119
spot. I think she's a car
hop at the spot and made like thirty

879
01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:04.159
one dollars on a two week paycheck. I was like, what the fuck

880
01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:11.079
is this? Yep, I would
loose a full like a thirty hour per

881
01:06:11.199 --> 01:06:13.599
week. I think it was like
one hundred and fifty one dollars total,

882
01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:16.920
and then after taxes you get like
sixty bucks. Yeah enough to mate well

883
01:06:17.039 --> 01:06:20.400
depending on your car and nowadays maybe
fill up gas to get you to in

884
01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:24.199
from work. Yeah, So with
that being said miss print, unless there's

885
01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:30.199
something else you'd like to add about
waffle House being a absolute essential institution essential.

886
01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:31.320
No, how do you not?
I think we're at to add this

887
01:06:31.440 --> 01:07:02.000
episode to our never ending but are
always growing tails from the dark m
