WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.349 --> 00:00:06.950 This is The Other Side of Midnight. 2 00:00:06.969 --> 00:00:08.710 They're running a strange program, y'all. 3 00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:10.230 With Walter Sterling. 4 00:00:29.339 --> 00:00:32.090 Come and listen to my story about a man named. 5 00:00:32.450 --> 00:00:36.490 Walter, a radio genius who would seldom falter. 6 00:00:36.509 --> 00:00:41.049 Then one day he was hanging around the station when 7 00:00:41.090 --> 00:00:44.469 his bosses decided to unleash him on the nation. 8 00:00:44.909 --> 00:00:50.530 Corporate, you know, Brooks Brothers Suits Club ties. Next thing 9 00:00:50.570 --> 00:00:55.189 you know, young Walter's VP, they gave him an office 10 00:00:55.329 --> 00:00:56.409 in New York City. 11 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.369 But things didn't turn out exactly quite right. 12 00:01:01.450 --> 00:01:05.209 Now he's back on the other side of midnight. 13 00:01:05.329 --> 00:01:09.120 Weird callers, flying saucers, Florida stories. 14 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.370 Eddie Murphy might have lost $ 15 million to his ex-wife 15 00:01:14.409 --> 00:01:17.290 in 2006, but he'd later watch the universe perform the 16 00:01:17.450 --> 00:01:20.129 ultimate audit on her, delivered in the form of another man. 17 00:01:20.349 --> 00:01:22.870 Eddie and Nicole met in 1988, when he was the 18 00:01:22.909 --> 00:01:24.810 biggest movie star on the planet, and she was a 19 00:01:24.890 --> 00:01:28.439 stunning 20-year-old model. They tied the knot in 1993 at 20 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.859 a wedding that cost a whopping $ 1. 5 million. For over 21 00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:34.480 a decade, they were a happy family with five kids 22 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.280 and managed to stay out of the messy tabloid scandals 23 00:01:37.329 --> 00:01:41.650 that usually wreck celebrity marriages. In 2005, Nicole filed for divorce, 24 00:01:41.769 --> 00:01:45.569 citing irreconcilable differences. The settlement was a massive blow to 25 00:01:45.629 --> 00:01:49.310 Eddie's fortune. Nicole walked away with a staggering $ 15 million 26 00:01:49.430 --> 00:01:52.790 lump sum. At the time, Eddie wasn't thrilled about the payout. 27 00:01:52.969 --> 00:01:55.379 He had worked his life for that money, and handing 28 00:01:55.469 --> 00:01:58.540 over a $ 15 million check felt like a robbery. But 29 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.819 he got back to work, filmed more hits, and made 30 00:02:00.859 --> 00:02:03.879 the money back ten times over. Nicole, however, decided to 31 00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:06.620 take her new money and invest it. handed 11 million 32 00:02:06.659 --> 00:02:09.719 of her settlement to a childhood friend, Troy Stratus, who 33 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.419 claimed to have exclusive oil deals with Middle Eastern royalty. 34 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.280 Their bond reportedly bordered on romantic, allowing Stratus to move 35 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.069 into her luxury homes and live a playboy lifestyle on 36 00:02:20.090 --> 00:02:22.370 her dime. He even convinced her that he was being 37 00:02:22.430 --> 00:02:26.189 generous by paying for her high-end European vacations. In truth, 38 00:02:26.289 --> 00:02:29.639 he was actually using Nicole's own stolen money. By the 39 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.840 time the FBI caught up to him, the investments were non-existent. 40 00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:35.939 Not only did Nicole lose the $ 11 million, she was 41 00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:39.849 left facing a $ 900, 000 IRS debt because Stratos hadn't paid 42 00:02:39.870 --> 00:02:42.629 her taxes or the mortgage on her Granite Bay mansion. 43 00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:45.009 She was forced to sell her home and liquidate her 44 00:02:45.169 --> 00:02:48.469 assets just to stay out of legal trouble. In 2016, 45 00:02:48.469 --> 00:02:52.009 Stratos was finally sentenced to 22 years in prison. Eddie 46 00:02:52.050 --> 00:02:54.469 Murphy had moved on to a massive new fortune and 47 00:02:54.509 --> 00:02:56.659 a new family, while the woman who walked away with 48 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.099 his millions was essentially starting back at zero. 49 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.289 Nothing has ruined Western culture more than feminism. Feminism is 50 00:03:03.509 --> 00:03:06.430 one of the greatest scams in the history of the earth. 51 00:03:06.669 --> 00:03:10.150 The most successful marketing campaign in history was not done 52 00:03:10.169 --> 00:03:13.780 by Nike, not done by Apple or McDonald's. It was feminism. 53 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.699 Convincing an entire generation of women that their greatest power 54 00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:20.599 was actually a weakness. Think about it. Women can do 55 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.879 something that no man can do. They can give birth 56 00:03:24.020 --> 00:03:27.969 to life to other humans. That's a superpower. And somehow 57 00:03:28.129 --> 00:03:31.389 we were sold on the idea that that's a lesser path. 58 00:03:31.509 --> 00:03:35.349 Imagine convincing women that shaping the future of civilization by 59 00:03:35.449 --> 00:03:39.430 raising kids, that's settling. But answering emails from nine to 60 00:03:39.509 --> 00:03:42.500 six Monday through Friday for a corporation that can replace 61 00:03:42.530 --> 00:03:45.759 you in two weeks, that's empowerment. They didn't liberate women 62 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.960 from the home. They liberated a second income for the 63 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.120 government to tax. And now, the average family needs two 64 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.620 paychecks to barely afford what one paycheck used to afford. 65 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.219 We call that progress in the name of feminism. There 66 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.900 is no replacing a mom who is home. No daycare 67 00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:06.000 will ever be able to raise your children as well 68 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.689 and as good as your mom. no babysitter, no caretaker, 69 00:04:09.870 --> 00:04:13.110 no housemaid, no butler, no one will ever be able 70 00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:16.310 to substitute the value that your family has when mom 71 00:04:16.370 --> 00:04:18.810 is at home and the stability that brings as well. 72 00:04:19.250 --> 00:04:24.230 Very unpopular to agree with that. And that's tragic because 73 00:04:24.290 --> 00:04:30.579 I completely agree with that. I'm going to tell you 74 00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:32.819 something that if you're of a certain age, you won't 75 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:37.870 believe me. However, it is fact. In elementary school, and 76 00:04:37.910 --> 00:04:43.610 middle school. At lunchtime, kids went home for lunch. There 77 00:04:43.629 --> 00:04:49.800 was no cafeteria. Many elementary schools had no cafeteria. They 78 00:04:49.819 --> 00:04:52.740 didn't go to a cafeteria for lunch. They didn't sit outside. 79 00:04:52.779 --> 00:04:56.040 They went home at about an hour and 15 minutes 80 00:04:56.100 --> 00:05:00.819 to walk home, have lunch at home with mom, and 81 00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:04.939 then walk back to school. Got a break. filled mom 82 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:06.779 in on what was going on. Mom could see if 83 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.500 you were feeling good, not feeling good, what you were 84 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:14.279 eating or not eating. That went on for decades and 85 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:18.399 decades and decades. Sometimes, if I was lucky, mom would 86 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.329 pick me up at school, maybe with one of her friends, 87 00:05:21.370 --> 00:05:24.449 and we'd go to a diner. Oh, that was the best. 88 00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:27.750 If mom took us to a diner, but somehow or another, 89 00:05:29.430 --> 00:05:39.600 we got back in time. This will sound crazy. Not figuratively, literally, 90 00:05:40.019 --> 00:05:44.110 everything changed when women wore slacks to work. The minute 91 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.269 women wore slacks to work, the culture changed. It seems 92 00:05:48.310 --> 00:05:53.149 like a simple thing. No reason women can't wear slacks 93 00:05:53.170 --> 00:05:59.540 to work, of course, but it changed everything. And at 94 00:05:59.579 --> 00:06:02.699 the same time, our culture, our society was saying, well, 95 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.019 you really should go to work. You can work if 96 00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:09.100 you want. There's no reason not to work. What's amazing 97 00:06:09.379 --> 00:06:12.160 is that in the 50 years since that happened till today, 98 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.379 the type of work women are doing is exactly the 99 00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:19.420 same as they were doing 50 years ago. What type 100 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.329 of work did women do 50 years ago? They did sewing, 101 00:06:24.589 --> 00:06:31.589 child care, cooking. Did they Go mining? Did they drill mines? No. 102 00:06:31.829 --> 00:06:37.850 Build bridges? No. Pave roads? No. They did none of 103 00:06:37.889 --> 00:06:40.430 the physical work 50 years ago, and they do none 104 00:06:40.470 --> 00:06:44.879 of the physical work today. 50 years ago they were secretaries. 105 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:50.459 Today they're in HR. That's the difference. They're still doing 106 00:06:50.660 --> 00:06:55.019 thought work. They have not taken over the world of men. 107 00:06:55.660 --> 00:06:59.399 They've just changed it. from being secretaries and assistants and 108 00:06:59.459 --> 00:07:06.500 clerical work to being in human resources, public relations, advertising. 109 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:15.730 That's the only difference. In our culture, there are certain 110 00:07:15.769 --> 00:07:18.750 people who have different roles, and some of the roles 111 00:07:18.810 --> 00:07:25.550 are coveted, and some of them are less coveted. Women 112 00:07:26.339 --> 00:07:28.819 always have a coveted role. They will always be valued 113 00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:33.850 because they can make something of value until menopause. Women 114 00:07:34.209 --> 00:07:42.470 of after menopause age technically have no role. They have 115 00:07:42.509 --> 00:07:47.009 a role of taking care of grandchildren, but it's not 116 00:07:47.069 --> 00:07:51.189 an established role and it's not defaulting to them. Minorities 117 00:07:51.250 --> 00:07:58.699 have a role because they are exalted, protected, Laws protect them. Teenagers, 118 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:06.120 male and female, they have a role. Because again, they're applauded, encouraged. 119 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:10.560 They're the future. They're protected. They're protected both by laws 120 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:16.220 and by our society. But there are people who have 121 00:08:16.300 --> 00:08:22.870 no role. And those are 18 to 34-year-old single men. Now, 122 00:08:22.910 --> 00:08:26.360 what happened in the mid-1960s, which did not happen before, 123 00:08:26.980 --> 00:08:29.899 but it started in the 1960s and continues to this 124 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:34.000 day in growing numbers, is there are 18 to 34-year-old 125 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:38.659 men who absolutely will not be leaving the house. They 126 00:08:38.700 --> 00:08:42.309 are going to stay home. They need to be supported 127 00:08:42.370 --> 00:08:45.690 by their parents. Their parents have food, clothing, and shelter. 128 00:08:46.289 --> 00:08:49.110 Their parents are not throwing them out. There they are 129 00:08:49.149 --> 00:08:51.230 at home. Do they have a job? 130 00:08:51.610 --> 00:08:51.730 No. 131 00:08:52.100 --> 00:08:53.899 Do they have a full-time job? No. Are they in 132 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:54.519 the military? 133 00:08:54.580 --> 00:08:54.759 No. 134 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:55.480 Are they married? 135 00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:55.659 No. 136 00:08:55.740 --> 00:08:56.440 Do they have kids? 137 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:56.720 No. 138 00:08:57.379 --> 00:09:02.090 They are dependent on their parents. They are children. They 139 00:09:02.129 --> 00:09:04.669 do not have a role. They're the members of the 140 00:09:04.730 --> 00:09:08.889 family that nobody goes to for advice. Whoever that is, 141 00:09:08.990 --> 00:09:12.409 no one's going to them for advice. Cousins, relatives, no, 142 00:09:12.490 --> 00:09:15.210 no one's going to them for advice. They stay home. 143 00:09:15.289 --> 00:09:22.429 They have no role. It started in the late 1960s. 144 00:09:24.889 --> 00:09:29.039 And what happened was two things. One was the wage 145 00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:33.440 price freeze in the late 1960s, early 1970s, where it 146 00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:40.350 became very quickly economically preferable for two people in that 147 00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:44.490 house to have jobs. It became almost a necessity because 148 00:09:44.529 --> 00:09:49.269 a couple things happened. Mortgages went up to 18%. Oh, 149 00:09:49.450 --> 00:09:52.470 you didn't know that. In the early 1980s, mortgages went 150 00:09:52.529 --> 00:09:57.450 up to 18%. Today, a huge mortgage is 6%. My God, 151 00:09:57.470 --> 00:10:00.980 who could pay that well? Thousands, millions. of homes were 152 00:10:01.019 --> 00:10:05.659 foreclosed upon because only one income was coming into those houses. 153 00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:09.620 They couldn't afford the mortgage. Floating mortgage rates killed them. 154 00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:13.240 And as a result, mom had to go out and 155 00:10:13.259 --> 00:10:17.240 get a job. Culturally, at the same time, the world 156 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.730 was saying, you should be working. You should go to work. 157 00:10:20.110 --> 00:10:21.990 There's no reason for you to be stuck at home, 158 00:10:22.509 --> 00:10:26.210 trapped with your kids, forced to be a mother. This 159 00:10:26.269 --> 00:10:32.169 was all promoted by women who had no children. Jane Fonda, 160 00:10:32.450 --> 00:10:40.029 Betty Furness, they had no children. They were promoting a 161 00:10:40.269 --> 00:10:44.980 world where women worked and let someone else take care 162 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.519 of the kids. It wasn't important. What has this done 163 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:51.529 to the kids? They're going home to empty houses. They 164 00:10:51.629 --> 00:10:55.600 feel less safe. They have no place and nobody to 165 00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:59.480 put their lives into perspective. And what do we have? 166 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:04.860 Depressed kids, ADHD, kids addicted to you name it, because 167 00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:09.220 there's no buffer. There's nobody there. Now, let me share 168 00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:13.330 with you what happens in feminism. If feminism was true, 169 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.629 if it was followed through on in the truest sense, 170 00:11:17.950 --> 00:11:19.789 A man should be able to look at his wife 171 00:11:20.250 --> 00:11:23.230 and his kids and say, you know what? Mom's making 172 00:11:23.309 --> 00:11:27.289 enough money. I'm going to stay home. I want to 173 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.419 stay home and take care of the kids. I want 174 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.279 to take care of the house. I'm good at this. 175 00:11:31.820 --> 00:11:34.679 I want to do it. And mom's making enough money. 176 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.480 She's making enough money to support us. Mom, I'm going 177 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.129 to stay home. And you're going to go to work. 178 00:11:42.009 --> 00:11:44.309 Stay at work. She's already working. You stay at work. 179 00:11:44.659 --> 00:11:46.820 You're making enough money for all of us. I don't 180 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:51.409 want to work anymore. How often would a woman say, hey, 181 00:11:51.450 --> 00:11:55.289 that's great. No problem. Good idea. If every woman said that, 182 00:11:55.289 --> 00:11:59.350 90% of the women said that, then the promise of 183 00:11:59.429 --> 00:12:01.679 feminism would would have come to fruition. 184 00:12:01.899 --> 00:12:05.559 Nothing has ruined Western culture more than feminism. Feminism is 185 00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:08.679 one of the greatest scams in the history of the earth. 186 00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:12.399 The most successful marketing campaign in history was not done 187 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:16.019 by Nike, not done by Apple or McDonald's. It was feminism. 188 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.950 Convincing an entire generation of women that their greatest power 189 00:12:20.070 --> 00:12:22.870 was actually a weakness. Think about it. Women can do 190 00:12:22.929 --> 00:12:26.149 something that no man can do. They can give birth 191 00:12:26.269 --> 00:12:30.190 to life to other humans. That's a superpower. And somehow 192 00:12:30.389 --> 00:12:33.629 we were sold on the idea that that's a lesser path. 193 00:12:33.750 --> 00:12:37.610 Imagine convincing women that shaping the future of civilization by 194 00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:41.690 raising kids, that's settling. But answering emails from 9 to 195 00:12:41.690 --> 00:12:44.750 6 Monday through Friday for a corporation that can replace 196 00:12:44.789 --> 00:12:48.009 you in two weeks, that's empowerment. They didn't liberate women 197 00:12:48.070 --> 00:12:51.230 from the home. They liberated a second income from the 198 00:12:51.309 --> 00:12:54.889 government attacks. And now, the average family needs two paychecks 199 00:12:55.009 --> 00:12:57.960 to barely afford what one paycheck used to afford. We 200 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.659 call that progress in the name of feminism. There is 201 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.379 no replacing a mom who is home. No daycare will 202 00:13:05.500 --> 00:13:08.529 ever be able to raise your children as well and 203 00:13:08.590 --> 00:13:12.950 as good as your mom. No babysitter, no caretaker, no housemaid, 204 00:13:13.049 --> 00:13:16.149 no butler, no one will ever be able to substitute 205 00:13:16.210 --> 00:13:18.840 the value that your family has when mom is at 206 00:13:18.909 --> 00:13:21.100 home and the stability that brings as well. 207 00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:26.399 Now about those men who are at home. The men 208 00:13:26.460 --> 00:13:32.850 who are at home. Mom, dad, retired. Here they've got 209 00:13:32.870 --> 00:13:36.230 their 28-year-old son, not in the army, not working, not married, 210 00:13:36.690 --> 00:13:41.379 sitting at home doing nothing. doesn't have a role that 211 00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:46.919 guy doesn't have a role he's dangerous because any man 212 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.570 anybody who does not have a role in our culture 213 00:13:51.809 --> 00:13:59.789 is dangerous because they will seek excitement in all of 214 00:13:59.870 --> 00:14:00.809 its forms. 215 00:14:00.509 --> 00:14:03.309 We go to tj maxx when we don't need anything 216 00:14:03.330 --> 00:14:08.700 it's just a part of our mental health day We 217 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.879 just want to go look at stuff and smell candles. 218 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:15.539 I feel good. 219 00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:18.259 At TJ Maxx knowing that anything I would ever need 220 00:14:18.330 --> 00:14:19.830 in life I could get right. 221 00:14:19.610 --> 00:14:20.009 Here in. 222 00:14:22.330 --> 00:14:26.149 This store. 800-848-9222.

I'm about to ruin that with 236 00:15:20.139 --> 00:15:24.600 some real stupidity here. For our first Florida story is 237 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.970 a woman who has some addiction issues. 238 00:15:27.370 --> 00:15:28.110 She gets busted. 239 00:15:28.610 --> 00:15:31.409 Now, once you get busted and you know you have priors, 240 00:15:31.950 --> 00:15:34.350 you got to know that any other time that you 241 00:15:34.389 --> 00:15:36.370 have an interaction with cops, you get pulled over or 242 00:15:36.409 --> 00:15:38.450 anything like that. then the cops are going to be 243 00:15:38.490 --> 00:15:41.250 extra suspicious of you. And so maybe you want to 244 00:15:41.289 --> 00:15:43.570 try and keep a low profile. Well, at some point, 245 00:15:44.110 --> 00:15:47.549 this woman went to the store and saw a bag. 246 00:15:47.669 --> 00:15:50.429 Now on it, it said definitely not a bag full 247 00:15:50.529 --> 00:15:53.730 of drugs. Now, I don't mean somebody wrote on it 248 00:15:53.850 --> 00:15:57.009 with a Sharpie. It was not embroidered, but was that 249 00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:00.759 screen printed on there? And so she gets pulled over. 250 00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:04.059 You're not going to believe what they found in it. 251 00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:06.259 You know, at least she had the Narcan in there, though. 252 00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:09.779 She's She's a well-seasoned Florida. If you're not familiar, Narcan 253 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.570 is what you take when you overdose. So she was 254 00:16:12.610 --> 00:16:16.169 just ready to party there. Sorry I got interrupted. But 255 00:16:16.230 --> 00:16:18.529 it's just like I almost feel like you don't believe 256 00:16:18.549 --> 00:16:19.649 me when I say that because. 257 00:16:19.710 --> 00:16:21.389 Oh, yeah, they got on the radio making stuff up. 258 00:16:21.429 --> 00:16:24.820 No, a Florida woman who has priors was keeping her 259 00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:27.320 drugs in a bag that said definitely not a bag 260 00:16:27.340 --> 00:16:28.980 full of drugs. And she got busted. 261 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:30.759 Hold my beer. Hold my beer. 262 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:31.379 Hold my beer. 263 00:16:32.909 --> 00:16:36.559 For our next Florida story, we have a husband and 264 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.820 wife who got together A while back, they got married 265 00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:46.379 in Connecticut around 2003, and she is of Puerto Rican heritage. 266 00:16:46.899 --> 00:16:49.169 And I don't know if that contributes to how fiery 267 00:16:49.269 --> 00:16:51.789 she is, but she became so abusive that at some 268 00:16:51.809 --> 00:16:53.889 point he had to move out of the house that 269 00:16:53.950 --> 00:16:56.190 he himself was living in. He was able to get 270 00:16:56.250 --> 00:16:59.809 a divorce. They split up since she can't support herself. 271 00:16:59.850 --> 00:17:01.700 She had to go back and stay with some family 272 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.740 in Puerto Rico. Well, they had rekindled. their romance and 273 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:06.819 they were going to give it another try. They meet 274 00:17:06.859 --> 00:17:09.519 up in Florida. They're headed back to Connecticut to try 275 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.359 and resume their married life, but they get into an 276 00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:15.980 argument in Clearwater, Florida. And at some point, uh, there's 277 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.809 a lot of alcohol involved. She beats him with a toy, 278 00:17:19.869 --> 00:17:24.589 with an adult toy. And so he has to, and 279 00:17:24.650 --> 00:17:27.329 it doesn't say where she hit him. I don't, that's 280 00:17:27.390 --> 00:17:29.779 up to your imagination, but the, uh, the cops get 281 00:17:29.819 --> 00:17:32.640 there and he tells them, yeah, we have a history 282 00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:35.559 of She's done this before. They can see her priors. She, 283 00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:39.349 of course, is ragingly drunk. They have a hard time 284 00:17:39.380 --> 00:17:42.900 communicating with her. And eventually she did admit to using 285 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:47.029 the toy on him. I mean, not just she hit 286 00:17:47.049 --> 00:17:47.430 him with it. 287 00:17:47.849 --> 00:17:49.150 Hold my beer. Hold my beer. 288 00:17:49.190 --> 00:17:50.400 We have a Florida man, 29 years old. 289 00:17:54.349 --> 00:17:59.119 A Florida woman, 53 years old. And they're over at 290 00:17:59.140 --> 00:18:02.420 the bus stop in front of a Wendy's restaurant adjacent 291 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:07.329 to US Highway 19. And they're caught doing what's called 292 00:18:07.390 --> 00:18:11.529 an unnatural act. Now, I don't know what that means, 293 00:18:11.569 --> 00:18:14.910 an unnatural hack, because it sounds like it's probably something sexual, 294 00:18:14.970 --> 00:18:19.299 but isn't sex natural? I didn't go to law school. However, 295 00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:20.930 I don't want to dig too further in this one, 296 00:18:20.940 --> 00:18:23.480 because when you look in the mugshots, I'm having a 297 00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:26.339 hard time telling which one's which. I mean, they both 298 00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:29.740 kind of look like the dude, so... Maybe we're just 299 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.480 better off not knowing what an unnatural act is in 300 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.660 the eyes of the Florida law. Please, God. 301 00:18:35.769 --> 00:18:36.329 Next story. 302 00:18:36.349 --> 00:18:37.650 Hold my beer. 303 00:18:37.670 --> 00:18:39.609 Hold my beer. 304 00:18:40.250 --> 00:18:42.970 Well, for our next Florida story, we're going to go 305 00:18:43.029 --> 00:18:48.930 to the Botanica Day Spa in Clearwater, where a Florida 306 00:18:48.950 --> 00:18:53.509 man goes in to get a massage. And, you know, 307 00:18:53.529 --> 00:18:57.940 I don't know. how people know which day spa is 308 00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.859 the right day spa or which massage parlor is the 309 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.779 right massage parlor. But apparently this is one of the 310 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.930 ones that gives a little extra service. So, uh, the 311 00:19:06.970 --> 00:19:10.150 guy at the end of the massage, uh, he gets 312 00:19:10.190 --> 00:19:13.250 flipped over and the masseuse kind of brushes up against it. 313 00:19:13.250 --> 00:19:16.750 And he's like, Oh, okay. I'm sure that was an accident. 314 00:19:18.630 --> 00:19:22.160 And then that kind of, is that a, that feels 315 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.589 like a mouth. Well, I don't mean to ruin what 316 00:19:25.630 --> 00:19:29.029 would otherwise be an interesting, maybe even fun story, but 317 00:19:29.049 --> 00:19:35.980 it turns out the masseuse problem is a dude. That's 318 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:39.680 not what I was expecting either. There's a lot of 319 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.529 fellas who'd probably be okay with that. This guy wasn't. 320 00:19:44.130 --> 00:19:46.609 So he jumps up, actually runs out of the massage 321 00:19:46.630 --> 00:19:50.980 parlor to his car naked, calls cops, and they come 322 00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:52.480 and arrest the guy. He's like, oh, look, I thought 323 00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:55.039 I was doing him a favor. I was just trying 324 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.059 to earn a tip. 325 00:19:57.569 --> 00:19:57.920 I don't know. 326 00:19:57.940 --> 00:19:58.589 Get me out of here. 327 00:19:59.170 --> 00:19:59.890 Hold my beer. 328 00:19:59.910 --> 00:20:04.730 Hold my beer. Now, here we are in the same episode. 329 00:20:04.890 --> 00:20:08.900 We have another Public sex story. This one's down in 330 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.180 Key West. And, you know, you hear about how freaky 331 00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:14.859 Key West is because they got all the creepy middle 332 00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:18.670 middle aged swingers going there. But even in Key West, 333 00:20:18.710 --> 00:20:23.309 you're not allowed to do it on a public sidewalk. However, 334 00:20:23.329 --> 00:20:27.549 a couple of interesting variables in this version of the story. 335 00:20:27.690 --> 00:20:30.490 The woman is 38. The man's 41. And she looks 336 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.880 all right. You've definitely done worse than that. I've certainly 337 00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:35.940 done worse than that. I'm impressed at the time. 338 00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:39.920 4.20 in the morning. 339 00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:42.529 And that's not like a weed thing. 340 00:20:42.589 --> 00:20:44.009 Smoke weed every day. 341 00:20:44.049 --> 00:20:46.890 But to still have that kind of game, that kind 342 00:20:46.930 --> 00:20:49.809 of scene control, have her interest, still have her be 343 00:20:49.849 --> 00:20:55.180 awake and alive and attuned and turned on at 4.20 344 00:20:55.180 --> 00:20:59.079 in the morning. I just assume there has to be 345 00:20:59.119 --> 00:20:59.769 drugs involved. 346 00:21:00.349 --> 00:21:01.069 Hold my beer. 347 00:21:01.109 --> 00:21:01.650 Hold my beer. 348 00:21:01.670 --> 00:21:02.990 Hold my beer. 349 00:21:03.769 --> 00:21:05.319 I'm James Parker. 350 00:21:05.450 --> 00:21:08.339 Florida Stories is a Spring Rock production on the Red 351 00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:09.759 Apple Audio Network. 352 00:21:12.660 --> 00:21:15.339 Walter Sterling, 30 minutes past the hour, on the air 353 00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:20.240 in Chicago on WGN with Chuck in Illinois.

You are the youngest listener. 370 00:22:20.849 --> 00:22:25.150 Yes. And, uh, and my wife was one of the 371 00:22:25.190 --> 00:22:31.210 beautiful women that, uh, we got into some multilevel marketing, 372 00:22:31.890 --> 00:22:34.869 and she was able to make as high as $ 500 373 00:22:34.769 --> 00:22:37.230 a day, and it was mostly because she was beautiful. 374 00:22:38.950 --> 00:22:43.309 And it wasn't what people would think, you know. It 375 00:22:43.349 --> 00:22:44.650 just happened to be one of those. 376 00:22:44.869 --> 00:22:46.809 What were you marketing? What were you marketing? 377 00:22:48.289 --> 00:22:50.529 At that time, we were marketing what they called the 378 00:22:50.630 --> 00:22:58.000 Slim Jim, and we were getting different... Uh, dealers under us, 379 00:22:58.460 --> 00:23:01.140 if we, if we get a new dealer, why we 380 00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:07.079 could make, you know, like 500 bucks on that, you know, and, uh, 381 00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:12.500 it was going great guns. So it just petered out, but, uh, we, 382 00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:15.900 and we met all kinds of people, you know, while 383 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:20.829 we were involved in that sort of thing. Also. I 384 00:23:20.849 --> 00:23:25.369 know Route 19 there. My parents had it placed over 385 00:23:25.430 --> 00:23:30.259 in Crystal River. And I've flown into some of the 386 00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:36.940 airports down in Florida, one thing and another. But also, 387 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.319 I had a small corporation that.... 388 00:23:42.549 --> 00:23:45.569 Are you going to leave me money? If you own 389 00:23:45.609 --> 00:23:47.309 the corporation, are you going. 390 00:23:47.769 --> 00:23:49.970 To leave me money? Not at this point. I'll tell 391 00:23:49.990 --> 00:23:58.930 you what. I guess the legislators and one thing or 392 00:23:58.990 --> 00:24:01.809 another just made it impossible to run that sort of thing. 393 00:24:02.230 --> 00:24:03.930 What sort of thing? 394 00:24:04.069 --> 00:24:07.170 You know, and I was up against the Chinese there. Chinese? 395 00:24:08.450 --> 00:24:13.400 During that period, you know, anything you want. Anything you 396 00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:15.299 wanted to do. 397 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.680 Chinese. Peter in Illinois. Welcome to the other side of 398 00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:20.160 midnight with Walter Sterling. 399 00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:20.619 Hi, Peter. 400 00:24:21.740 --> 00:24:25.000 Hello, Walter.
