<v Speaker 4>Mm hmm.

24
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>There's an offshore gambling site that will let you place

25
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>a bet on which of the last inmates of the

26
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 2>six that are still on the run from Louisiana will

27
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 2>be the last to be captured. They list, you know,

28
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 2>the inmates names, stats, you know, heightweight, Oh yeah, so

29
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 2>you you know, as an educated gambler, can you know,

30
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>size him up to see who probably has the best

31
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 2>shot at remaining at large the longest?

32
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 4>Would you go with the shorter guy or the taller guy?

33
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 4>I think I'd go shorter. I go like, you know,

34
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 4>five to seven, just medium of middle of the road, five

35
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 4>to nine.

36
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm not picking the guy who was on Instagram

37
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>two hours after the jail break.

38
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah's asking to be caught.

39
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

40
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 2>Is that not a snapshot of where we're at as

41
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 2>a society? It surely is an escaped inmates on Instagram

42
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 2>two hours after.

43
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 4>That's that's two snapshots of society, the gambling and the people,

44
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 4>and and maybe on Instagram.

45
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Not trying to be judgy here, but if you're if

46
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>you're placing vets on which of the at large inmates

47
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>you might need to call the number I need to

48
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>call the number, it's.

49
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 4>One eight hundred gambler. Although you know what, just for fun,

50
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 4>I might try to find that site and do it

51
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 4>because you really, you know what, I don't have much

52
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 4>time my day to sit down and think about that.

53
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh hey, Charleston personal injury attorney Charleston, South Carolina personal

54
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>injury attorney was arrested after police say he was downtown

55
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.759
<v Speaker 2>yelling at the top of his lungs without any clothes on.

56
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, why these personal injury attorneys are doing anything

57
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 2>and everything to one up each other and get attention.

58
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Huh you have you think it's crazy around here? If

59
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>that guy's your lawyer, that would be William McCleod junior.

60
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 4>If Old Welly's your lawyer, And and think about that, Pat,

61
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 4>you have this case. It's been ongoing, a hit and run,

62
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 4>whatever it was, They didn't matter what it was.

63
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 5>I am he was.

64
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's picked up early warning hours in downtown Charleston,

65
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 2>screaming incoherent things, amongst those telling police that he was

66
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Superman and God at the same time.

67
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Did they say it was a I mean booze?

68
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 5>I would have bet the word narcotics was used.

69
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 4>Kind of figured that narcotics.

70
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 2>All right, it's been a while since we've had an

71
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>it happened again. Just to refresh any listeners who might

72
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>be newer to the inside lingo of the Lynching Taco

73
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>show of the last twenty five years. It happened again

74
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 2>is code for an unfortunate on the job incident that

75
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 2>results in one's demise. Yeah, and you mentioned something about

76
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>a fortclift. That does not sound good. It's not what

77
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 2>you would think, though, right you Normally you would think,

78
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>oh boy, the.

79
00:03:59.479 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 5>And pale.

80
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, did they set a palette down on somebody?

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 5>No, No, not that either.

82
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>This in Mount Pleasant Township, Pennsylvania, forklift operator dead after

83
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 2>his job. He works at an RV dealership, Beckley's RV

84
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 2>in Mount Pleasant Township. About nine o'clock in the morning,

85
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>he was using a forklift to move boats and campers

86
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 2>and for unknown reasons, he fell out of the forklift

87
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>and it was still in gear and it ran him over.

88
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 5>Good lord, those things are.

89
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 4>Uh yeah, yeah, those have got them tires that just

90
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 4>don't pop.

91
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.920
<v Speaker 6>You know, why don't we have tires like that our vehicles?

92
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 6>Solid rubber? Yeah, like on a child's you know, tricycle,

93
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 6>a solid rubber.

94
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 4>What you're losing in gas mileage, you're making up fourign tires, right,

95
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's just maybe that's just pete industry.

96
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 5>It's not gonna let that happen.

97
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 4>Maybe that's just fresh fresh on my mind because my

98
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 4>incident the other day where I was I was puckered

99
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 4>up on the way out to Rockville and back with

100
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 4>two different tires and nails in them, and they couldn't

101
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 4>pull them out at one place because uh and I

102
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.360
<v Speaker 4>understand because of the laws, you know, but uh and

103
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 4>and liability?

104
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 5>Why didn't they pull them out?

105
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 4>Because my tires are dry rotted from not rotating them.

106
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's that's a problem, not the tire place. I

107
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>know what I was driving to You ever rotated your

108
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 2>tires in six years? Well I did, Now that have

109
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.720
<v Speaker 2>lasted six years? Two or three months? Yeah? I have

110
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>you stopped a look.

111
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:43.839
<v Speaker 4>At my tires out in the park of pat They

112
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 4>still have a tread that is this deep. I mean

113
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 4>they're they're they're big, but I would have loved to

114
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:56.160
<v Speaker 4>have them big. You know pitchfork driving forklifts, sorry, driving

115
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 4>you know, tires fork and take that sound out the mudding?

116
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 4>Somebody did I'm on hey like a maniac. Oh my god,

117
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 4>somebody just texted it. Oh yeah, I totally will be.

118
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm on a forklift. Right now, and I'm high as hell.

119
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 5>Be careful, but you buckle up or something.

120
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 4>Man, you know it could happened. Solid tires are hard, hard, hard.

121
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 4>You wouldn't want them now, I know, and i'd be driving.

122
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.519
<v Speaker 4>It would be giving me a headache with my you know,

123
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 4>fillings rattling out.

124
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Hold on for just a second, infa seas. I think

125
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>you're onto something there. This is almost as good as

126
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>your brother's idea of the NERF cars. Oh that was genius,

127
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 2>right four traffic. We just bounce off each other NERF car.

128
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>But uh, you mean to tell me with all the

129
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.839
<v Speaker 2>advances in technology we have, in the things we can do,

130
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.040
<v Speaker 2>they can't come up with a tire for a commercial

131
00:06:55.279 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>or for a residential, you know, family vehicle that isn't

132
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.040
<v Speaker 2>prone to pop. And I know there's puncture proof or

133
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 2>self filling. That's not what I'm talking about that we're

134
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>talking about. You couldn't come up with one that's a

135
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>reasonable ride that you know you could run over pretty

136
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.079
<v Speaker 2>much anything and just be on your merry way.

137
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah you could, I know, eh. I tell you what, man,

138
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 4>if Sam Bear was still around.

139
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 5>Because tires ain't pretty.

140
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.399
<v Speaker 4>Anybody who's lived here a long time knows who we're

141
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 4>talking about. There was this guy named Sam Bear and

142
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.519
<v Speaker 4>he was the tires. Ain't pretty guy, man, That guy

153
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:11.639
<v Speaker 4>It's like a messenger pigeon. Wow, you wouldn't even think, well, yeah,

154
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 4>that's a pretty big amount on the back of a cat.

155
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>The officials believe the cat was deployed by someone to

156
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>smuggle the drugs to prisoners inside. They cut the drugs

157
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>off the cat and handed it over to animal care

158
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:21.279
<v Speaker 2>to have.

159
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 5>It checked out.

160
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.040
<v Speaker 2>It's okay, not facing any charges. It's like Pat Burglar.

161
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.279
<v Speaker 4>Pat. Just picture with that amount of drugs. That's like

162
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.120
<v Speaker 4>a mule. You know what a mule has the thing

163
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 4>on his back, you know what? You know what I'm

164
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.840
<v Speaker 4>talking about? Right, Yeah, that the same thing. I like it.

165
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 2>And in closer to home, Lakeland, we've got say hello

166
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.720
<v Speaker 2>to George the cat. George was taken by his owners

167
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 2>into the SPCA UH in Lakeland.

168
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 5>To be neutered.

169
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 4>This is like adopt a pet week or day or

170
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 4>something right now?

171
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 5>Going on?

172
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, as George, shortly after the procedure, still under anesthesia,

173
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.799
<v Speaker 2>escaped his holding cage, and do I have this whole

174
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.039
<v Speaker 2>story on our Facebook page if you want some visuals.

175
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Escaped his holding cage, still on anesthesia after being neutered,

176
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 2>and made it all the way home, just about three miles.

177
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.600
<v Speaker 3>He was able to pop that cage open and he

178
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.679
<v Speaker 3>sprung out of there and he was gone in seconds.

179
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Coming back from there, he has to go through two

180
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.879
<v Speaker 3>or three subdivisions, he has to go around the lake

181
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 3>and probably five or six roads. So I was distraught

182
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 3>and heartbroken. He needed a human touch, you know, and

183
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.440
<v Speaker 3>that's what he got.

184
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>You were distraught? How about poor George? You just you know,

185
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, George, congratulations. I'm sure George was wishing he

186
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>made that escape before the procedure.

187
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's probably. He was sitting there in that little crate,

188
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, going like this man, he just took the

189
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.519
<v Speaker 4>fun out of my world. Now just licking firm. What

190
00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:58.759
<v Speaker 4>the hell's wrong with them?

191
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>D r rt
