Speaker 4: All right, are you ready? I'm totally ready.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 3: He was just texting me saying you quit, saying that
Speaker 3: we've got another situation, and I was thinking about this
Speaker 3: for a minute. New Jersey is the only state in
Speaker 3: the country there used to it used to be uh,
Speaker 3: Oregon and New Jersey, which did not allow you to
Speaker 3: pump your own gas. Now it's just New Jersey. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you have to go to a full service gas station there,
Speaker 3: and it's for several reasons. It creates jobs and also
Speaker 3: for safety purposes. How insane it really is that you
Speaker 3: just trust people to pull in and help themselves to
Speaker 3: a highly flammable liquid. And sometimes you're rolling into a
Speaker 3: place and there's twenty five gas pumps, or a bucket's
Speaker 3: and there's one hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 4: You know that you're exactly right, and that not every
Speaker 4: day of the week across the country there's just carnage
Speaker 4: and chaos and gas pumps. With all the crazy stories
Speaker 4: we have an idiotology about oh head found in a
Speaker 4: bowling bellow bag, or yeah, we trust people to pump
Speaker 4: their own gas.
Speaker 2: It is kind of a.
Speaker 4: And more just horrible things that happen at gas pumps.
Speaker 4: It's I don't know, it's mind boggling.
Speaker 2: Do you know why? That said?
Speaker 3: Though, there's still bad things that happen on occasion, and
Speaker 3: of course I've got one here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I watched the guy ode at a gas pump the
Speaker 4: needle in his arm right here in Castlebury.
Speaker 2: I was like, this is a nice area. What the
Speaker 2: hell is so? Anyway?
Speaker 4: You know why they have only one state where you
Speaker 4: have to pump your own gas where they pump the
Speaker 4: gas where you know why? Why because all the other
Speaker 4: gas stations went crazy hearing the little kids ride their
Speaker 4: bikes over the bingding.
Speaker 2: Do your bunny hop onto the cord there.
Speaker 4: They used to have these cords that were rubber and
Speaker 4: you'd jump up and down on him and the and
Speaker 4: the service guy who hald pump. The guys like get
Speaker 4: out of here, kids, Yeah, get old asa okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, come out with the rag hanging out of his
Speaker 2: back pocket. Yeah, and his overalls garage. He's in there
Speaker 2: doing an oil Chaine all right? God going on with that?
Speaker 3: This was actually this happened in Canada. Guy was several
Speaker 3: people were at the gas at this shell station, you know,
Speaker 3: filling up and twenty six year old driver, I guess
Speaker 3: was distracted and in a big rush and finished uh
Speaker 3: pumping his gas, got in his car and sped off
Speaker 3: without pulling the nozzle. This thing whiplashed out as he
Speaker 3: sped away and blindsided some sixty seven year old guy.
Speaker 2: Smack the nozzle.
Speaker 4: Wam whiplashes this guy right across the face. He falls
Speaker 4: over backwards, smashes his head on the ground. Now he's
Speaker 4: you know, a critical condition.
Speaker 2: You have a video of this? No, I don't.
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen a freak accident? The kid returned,
Speaker 3: The young guy returned.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: He ended up getting arrested in charge with dangerous operation
Speaker 3: of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and careless driving causing.
Speaker 2: Me Well, have you ever seen a car drive away
Speaker 2: with the gus?
Speaker 3: I've seen video video of it happen, but I've never
Speaker 3: realized I seen it myself.
Speaker 4: No, my buddy Billy and I we were we were
Speaker 4: going was it fishing with Oh? No, we were going
Speaker 4: scalloping with Captain Pounds and Captain Mario and them in
Speaker 4: uh in Crystal River and last minute went into grab
Speaker 4: ice and pa and whatever, and just watched this car
Speaker 4: drive out and you hear this that ha ha that
Speaker 4: hang and we look and it's she's dragging it still
Speaker 4: in the in the in the gas holder and the
Speaker 4: entire host. Now it's sparking on the road. God, So
Speaker 4: I run it and I go, hey, somebody just drove off.
Speaker 4: She goes, oh, no, another.
Speaker 2: One of those.
Speaker 4: Huh supposedly, maybe it's that Guy's a lot of gas stations.
Speaker 4: That happens a lot, pat and it's expensive. She goes,
Speaker 4: I'm not even getting replaced this time. It's too much. Wow, man,
Speaker 4: in Brazil, That's how it is in Brazil. At two
Speaker 4: two five, two six, somebody said you can't touch the
Speaker 4: pump at the gas station.
Speaker 3: Seriously, did you all just stop and think about this
Speaker 3: for a second next time you're filling up. How truly
Speaker 3: insane it is that we're it's perfectly fine to.
Speaker 4: Do that, and we all know how to do it,
Speaker 4: and if you do it right, it's safe, yes, at
Speaker 4: the time. But knowing what we know and how many
Speaker 4: people are crazy in this country, are completely beat.
Speaker 2: Bat ads crazy, uh huh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh do you know why it's Jersey that you're
Speaker 4: you they have to pump the gas for because mob,
Speaker 4: I bet you know how easy you have a mob
Speaker 4: who it is to get? You know, veto in New
Speaker 4: York and New Jersey with you as the mob. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because I'm married and I yeah, far be it from
Speaker 4: you to stereotype.
Speaker 2: But anyway I'm allowed to. She's my wife.
Speaker 3: We get to the heart of what this show is
Speaker 3: about and why we get up and come in here
Speaker 3: and do this five days a week.
Speaker 4: It's all about two things, public service and the kids.
Speaker 2: All right, give it to me. All right, this may.
Speaker 3: Help you out. Taco and any of you like it.
Speaker 3: Will sniff your own socks.
Speaker 2: I did it yesterday and here on Gosh showed up
Speaker 2: at the e R. Yeah, this is in China.
Speaker 3: He was diagnosed with a fungal infection from sniffing his
Speaker 3: own socks.
Speaker 2: He got it in his nose.
Speaker 3: The middle aged man central China recently showed up at
Speaker 3: the hospital with a bad cough that wouldn't go away.
Speaker 3: He said he tried cough syrup didn't help. His eyes
Speaker 3: were also a bloodshot. They did some scans and found
Speaker 3: a mass in his lower right lung. Wasn't cancer. Turned
Speaker 3: out that he had his serious fungal infection in his
Speaker 3: lungs that he got from sniffing his own dirty socks.
Speaker 3: He admitted he'd got into the habit of smelling his
Speaker 3: socks after work, right before he tossed them in the laundry.
Speaker 3: So it essentially sounds like athletes lung Yeah, technically a
Speaker 3: different type of fungus. But they tested his socks and
Speaker 3: found the same fungus he had in his lungs.
Speaker 4: Chinese fella, right, yeah, yeah, it's COVID. This is how
Speaker 4: they spread it to the batsup again.
Speaker 2: No, hey, they spread it to our socks. I did.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be the next wave. I did. Watch out,
Speaker 2: don't trust China.
Speaker 4: I did the update on my my smelly feet from
Speaker 4: the gym. Yeah, and remember, props to the listener who
Speaker 4: turned me on. He said, my wife and kids love
Speaker 4: me that I got this stuff. I can't think of
Speaker 4: the name right now, but it's this little foot powder
Speaker 4: I got a picture of while you're doing that story.
Speaker 4: I'll look it up. It's this foot powder story. It's
Speaker 4: called Grands Grands. No, I heard that public service story.
Speaker 4: I thought you have more.
Speaker 2: No, just don't sniff your turney side. You don't what
Speaker 2: a horrible long.
Speaker 4: Infect there's your there's your public service you that should
Speaker 4: be your takeaway from the show today. I believe there
Speaker 4: are so many people at our text line two two
Speaker 4: five two six that have seen people drive away with
Speaker 4: the pumps. That's why they have the quick release thing, right.
Speaker 3: I know there's a safety mechanism where it breaks off,
Speaker 3: but just just it that like pales in comparison to
Speaker 3: what could happen at a gas pump. Oh God, We've
Speaker 3: seen crazier things, but it just isn't left and right
Speaker 3: every single day. Yeah, carnage miracle.
Speaker 4: Where somebody knocked the gas you know, the whole apparatus,
Speaker 4: knock that over and it was on fire. And we
Speaker 4: ran over to the phone. This is a fun fact
Speaker 4: for any Orlando natives. Ran over to a phone at
Speaker 4: Chuck E Cheese on a Loma and said, you know
Speaker 4: payphone said yes, nine one one, there is Okay, I
Speaker 4: shouldn't say that there, but told him there is the
Speaker 4: Gulf Butcher Vallon's gas station, it's on fire. We saved
Speaker 4: the day. He didn't yell at us anymore for bunny
Speaker 4: hopping on his big long cords that go.
Speaker 2: Bel bell Cord. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I always say make a mental note when you pull
Speaker 3: in for gas where the emergency shut off switches. Those
Speaker 3: are usually out there by the pump stew.
Speaker 4: Or get off your phone, pump gas and drive and
Speaker 4: put your top on a driveway like a normal person.
Speaker 3: Finally, there's this, it's great to have a Triple A membership.
Speaker 3: Speaking of driving or some sort of roadside assistance, there's
Speaker 3: various ones available, many through insurance companies and whatnot. Since
Speaker 3: you know you usually get some use out of those,
Speaker 3: here's a time that you really probably don't need to
Speaker 3: call Triple A, which was the situation here for a
Speaker 3: forty five year old woman in Utah after engaging police
Speaker 3: on a high speed chase that last stretched over more
Speaker 3: than one hundred miles and had her topping speeds of
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty miles per hour. Troopers this in
Speaker 3: Utah trippers attempted to stop her twice using the tire
Speaker 3: spike thing all right, They rolled them out, She missed
Speaker 3: the first set of them. Then they set up further
Speaker 3: down the road anticipating her arrival. They managed to spike
Speaker 3: her tires that time. She pulled over a short time
Speaker 3: later and refused to get out of her car.
Speaker 2: Now we got to standoff happening. Come on, she.
Speaker 3: Called Triple A while she was locked in her car
Speaker 3: to have him come out and fix her spike tires.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's on drugs. There's some sort of drugs.
Speaker 2: And Triple A.
Speaker 3: Uh operator just okay, man, hold on a second. And
Speaker 3: then they got a hold of the police, like me
Speaker 3: and this woman who it sounds like she said she
Speaker 3: ran over police spikes at Yes, we know exactly who
Speaker 3: she is. This has been going on for a while,
Speaker 3: and uh, we're on a stand up, a standoff with
Speaker 3: her right now. She's got a gas pomp hanging out.
Speaker 4: Of her gas tank called Triple A after a one
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty mile per hour high speech. A sure,
Speaker 4: and again that's somebody you trust to be pumping gas.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly it
Speaker 1: Yay.
