<v Speaker 3>Go with the flow and and don't don't upset people.

34
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of a good way to put A woman

35
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 2>in England sued her former company after a co worker

36
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>took an online personality test for her. Was supposed to

37
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>determine which Star Wars character you were based on the

38
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>responses to the questions of the online personality test What

39
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 2>follow me here? This woman's name is Lorna Rook. She

40
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>was working as a supervisor at a blood donation center

41
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 2>in England in twenty twenty one when a handful of

42
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>her co workers took an online personality test for fun,

43
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 2>just some office fun. Laurna was on the phone and

44
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>was too busy to take the test, so one of

45
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:35.719
<v Speaker 2>the co workers answered questions for Laurna to determine which

46
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars character she would be based on her personality,

47
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Darth Vader. Huh. So she was not amused by this,

48
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>even though the test actually kind of spun being the

49
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Darth Vader character in a good way, saying that Darth

50
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Vader meant that you were a very focused individual who

51
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 2>could bring teams together.

52
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 3>But now you're a bitch, you manager, is what it meant.

53
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 2>Lorna said it made her feel unpopular at work. She

54
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker 2>quit the next month filed a lawsuit claiming hostile work environment.

55
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 2>Won the lawsuit company must pay her forty thousand dollars.

56
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 3>Not surprised at all in this PC world, she was bullied. Pat.

57
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 3>She went to go to the cry room, but somebody

58
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 3>was already in there. Just good night. I'll tell you

59
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 3>man this day, but you don't do things like that.

60
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 3>We used to joke around if you left your email open,

61
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 3>like now we carry our computers around with us, but Pat,

62
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 3>you have your computer over there, your email's open. We

63
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 3>used to get on there and say and we would

64
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 3>we would send an email to ten guys saying, hey,

65
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 3>want to have a glass of wine, And it was

66
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.759
<v Speaker 3>the we did it with our boss. Our boss would

67
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 3>do it.

68
00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I know things.

69
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:03.199
<v Speaker 3>Oh my, honest, we could just open our mouths about

70
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 3>certain things.

71
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 4>It's just the book one day, the book. One day

72
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 4>we will oh yeah, the book. He has this plan

73
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 4>that he's gonna what do you call it? Cot, what

74
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 4>do you I'm going to do the right I will

75
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 4>be the writer of Well, it'll be mainly about you,

76
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Speaker 4>but but obviously obviously part of you is our time together,

77
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 4>and I've beard witness to many things. The word unspeakable

78
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 4>comes to mind as a common denominator.

79
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 3>So what it comes down to is, you're going to

80
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 3>put out a book about this show. But he doesn't

81
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 3>understand that if you're going to do that, you do

82
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 3>it while you're still kind of on the air to

83
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 3>promote it.

84
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 2>We can't though, Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot because

85
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 2>the best parts we anyway, I don't even want.

86
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.920
<v Speaker 3>To And no, we're not those guys that are going

87
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 3>to write a book like, hey, look at us. You

88
00:04:57.879 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 3>need to read a book about us, you know, like

89
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 3>other people do. But now we're not doing that.

90
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>It'll be a book that answers very many questions to

91
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 2>get asked us on a still continual basis, uh huh

92
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>about stuff. Well, let's leave it at that.

93
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's leave it at that and go with off of

94
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 3>the Darth Vader thing. We have a dad joke slash

95
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 3>Star Wars joke combination. Darth Vader goes into donut shopping

96
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 3>orders and only one Kenobi or only one Canoli. Come on, man,

97
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 3>dad jokes.

98
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for that.

99
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 3>My wife called me out on a dad joke the

100
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:36.279
<v Speaker 3>other day.

101
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.279
<v Speaker 2>You gotta wear that like a badge hunter.

102
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I do.

103
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 5>All right.

104
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 3>We will be the told you I was walking through

105
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.319
<v Speaker 3>a Costco the other day. I was like looking for nuts.

106
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm going nuts, and I said, that was the coolest

107
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 3>dad joke ever because I'm looking for nuts. Get it?

108
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:57.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

109
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh. I have followed it up with a couple

110
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 3>more singers passing Canoli, would you? Uh huh.

111
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>We will be the first to admit that when the

112
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.639
<v Speaker 2>whole TikTok thing started to take off, we pushed back and.

113
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 3>We're like, we're not We're not TikTok talking because it

114
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 3>started out with people dancing.

115
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Silly little dance videos. But obviously TikTok is mushroomed into

116
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 2>something much more and has so many legit purposes for

117
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.399
<v Speaker 2>its existence. This is not one of those what somebody

118
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 2>do a new and concerning trend gaining traction on TikTok.

119
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Here's the gist of this deal. This is a spin

120
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 2>on the old jam something in the electric outlet wow,

121
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Only that something is the ports on your chromebook in

122
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>school age groups where kids are jamming all sorts of

123
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.800
<v Speaker 2>objects into their chromebooks in an effort to get them

124
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.639
<v Speaker 2>to catch fire and in some cases melt.

125
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.120
<v Speaker 3>Are these school distributed chromebooks?

126
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:57.720
<v Speaker 6>Why?

127
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 5>It's more than just a trend. You know, it causes

128
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:02.680
<v Speaker 5>a lot of disruption.

129
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.680
<v Speaker 6>It became clear that the damage was done intentionally, that

130
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.480
<v Speaker 6>it wasn't a malfunctioning chromebook, but rather a student had

131
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 6>intentionally done things to it that caused it to smoke

132
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 6>and eventually melt.

133
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 5>The batteries that are that are essentially catching on fire

134
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:22.120
<v Speaker 5>once they burned there, they're producing these this toxic smoke.

135
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 3>Told you my big shock story. Glenyard's junior high science class.

136
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to say his last name because he

137
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 3>probably still lives here. Gary m a buddy of mine,

138
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:42.480
<v Speaker 3>and he was driving in ninth grade. Smart genius guy.

139
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't like one of the you know, he's seventeen,

140
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:45.319
<v Speaker 3>and now.

141
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 2>There was always like one or two that you went

142
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to school with who were freshmen. It got that driver's

143
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>license before everybody else, just because where their birthday fell

144
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:52.720
<v Speaker 2>in the calendar.

145
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.240
<v Speaker 3>So he was driving to school early, had to park

146
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.839
<v Speaker 3>off campus his car keys. I grabbed him and jammed

147
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 3>it in one of the outlets right to see what,

148
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 3>just to get a reaction of the thing. Holy god,

149
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.360
<v Speaker 3>it was a science class that It was one of

150
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:13.839
<v Speaker 3>those eight thousand water you know, got the bunching burners exactly.

151
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 3>I know nothing about electricity, So anybody who's tempercent electric

152
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.759
<v Speaker 3>bear with me, but pat, when I put that thing

153
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 3>in there, the whole class turned around. I almost went

154
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.680
<v Speaker 3>through a window and I hit if you remember, and

155
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 3>the old school buildings had those heaters mounted on.

156
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.720
<v Speaker 2>The wall, right, yeah, you know that four up the

157
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.759
<v Speaker 2>wall in their angle that thing.

158
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 3>When I hit it, I must have got an extra

159
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 3>jolt or something. I'd almost launched me through the window.

160
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.639
<v Speaker 3>I was. I haven't been the same since.

161
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 2>That explained a lot.

162
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think that's it. Gary Midair's keys.

163
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Short circuited in ninth grade.

164
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Gary, I hoped the car. He had a badass car.

165
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 3>He could work on cars. Cool dude, man, you know,

166
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.320
<v Speaker 3>like very intelligent like I was until I stuck the

167
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.039
<v Speaker 3>key in there and then it just ended the intelligence street.

168
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 5>All right.

169
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of intelligence, I was gonna give this guy credit

170
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 2>for being quite creative and intelligent for a way of

171
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.639
<v Speaker 2>dealing with squatters that had moved into one of his properties.

172
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.200
<v Speaker 3>But I mentioned his car key because I kind of

173
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 3>ruined it and that was how he's getting home. Oh,

174
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.799
<v Speaker 3>it's screwed up the key itself. God, yeah, it gave

175
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 3>me brain damage. What do you think it did to

176
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 3>the key?

177
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.320
<v Speaker 2>I thought it would just conduct the electricity.

178
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.639
<v Speaker 3>It was a conducive. All right, So what do you

179
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 3>do the squatters?

180
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this guy, Marco Velasquez, Chicago, he lives in the

181
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Chicago suburbs, has a home that's for sale. He's not

182
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.559
<v Speaker 2>living in it. It's for sale. Squatters moved in. Yeah,

183
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.600
<v Speaker 2>happens all the time. Unfortunately, he can't get him out.

184
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:51.440
<v Speaker 4>You can't.

185
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 2>The laws in Illinois make it next to impossible to

186
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.759
<v Speaker 2>get squatters out within it without a long drawn out

187
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.159
<v Speaker 2>eagle process. That is going to cost you a lot

188
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 2>of money. Well, thank god here in Florida, they changed that.

189
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Marco decided to move in with the squatters. There you go,

190
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 2>him and some friends moved in. It didn't work. They

191
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't leave the Squire's I know that we bought this place.

192
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:18.759
<v Speaker 3>It's legit.

193
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 2>I have this story on our Facebook page, Scumback Squatters.

194
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't the first time they'd done this. It's this

195
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 2>way it turned. The woman who was running this whole

196
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.600
<v Speaker 2>thing here turns out she draws up fake you know,

197
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.279
<v Speaker 2>mortgage stuff and all this, and when the authorities go,

198
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>we have a mortgage for this, and we bought this,

199
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.399
<v Speaker 2>and that starts any legal process that the actual homeowner

200
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 2>might want to start. And in the meantime, they can't

201
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.799
<v Speaker 2>remove The police in that state cannot remove these people

202
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 2>from the property, so they continue to live there.

203
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.080
<v Speaker 3>We saw it here forever until they finally corrected it

204
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 3>and said if you're squat and you're gone.

205
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.440
<v Speaker 2>So that's this is where I thought, Okay, that's genius.

206
00:10:58.519 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Just move in with him, drive them right out of

207
00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:04.120
<v Speaker 2>the house. Yeah, didn't work. So this is where I'm like, dude,

208
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.759
<v Speaker 2>you gotta be kidding. He ends up stroking them a

209
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.159
<v Speaker 2>forty three hundred dollars check in exchange for their keys.

210
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.679
<v Speaker 2>They started by demanding eight thousand dollars. You failed, Mark

211
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:19.200
<v Speaker 2>or whatever.

212
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Marco, you dummy, Marco, get the fumigation tent and and

213
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.759
<v Speaker 3>fume it. I'm telling you they're nothing, but those are cockroaches.

214
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 3>I agree, And you're fumigating cockroaches. And once you sit

215
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.519
<v Speaker 3>down a court of law and say I had cockroaches

216
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 3>in there, I had varmints. There were all kinds of varmints.

217
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 3>The judge is gone on and give it probation. Problem.

218
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 3>Maybe if even that community service.

219
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe a maybe you would give you a medal

220
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:56.519
<v Speaker 4>Stay
