Speaker 1: Shortage of dumb people doing really stupid things. Welcome to
Speaker 1: another edition of idiotology. We'll let you taco one on
Speaker 1: one one w jr R.
Speaker 2: But you're freaking idiots. Should be noted. We tried a
Speaker 2: little reverse psychology there by playing no rain. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 2: we need it to stop. There's plenty of areas that
Speaker 2: the last thing needed is any more rain. My goodness.
Speaker 3: We know it's sonny out right now, but that's also
Speaker 3: kind of cooking the atmosphere for later.
Speaker 2: All right, before we get into idiotology, just to remind you, you
Speaker 2: get about fifteen minutes or so. If you haven't voted
Speaker 2: yet for you say It, we play it, You can
Speaker 2: do so j o Facebook page. Everybody who votes will
Speaker 2: be in the running to win jelly roll tickets, and
Speaker 2: we're doing that every morning this week. The three songs
Speaker 2: from five Finger that you're voting on Five Finger Death
Speaker 2: Punch featured you say It, Bamness, never enough, lift me Up,
Speaker 2: or wash it all away. One with the most votes
Speaker 2: has played back at nine and yes, indeedy little sweetie,
Speaker 2: somebody who votes is gonna win those Jeller roll teas.
Speaker 2: Hey didn't. Recently, we have a story about some guy
Speaker 2: locally who was either damaging or trying to steal and
Speaker 2: or remove traffic or speeding cameras.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was breaking the traffic, the the cameras at
Speaker 3: the red lights.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, a similar situation this in Baltimore though
Speaker 2: with their speeding cameras. They have one hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: of these in the Baltimore area. Those just aren't fair.
Speaker 4: They suck.
Speaker 3: They're just not fair. You gotta come on. That takes
Speaker 3: the game, It takes away from the game. Get hit
Speaker 3: Pitt Road speed man, get them back it down a little.
Speaker 3: So this sixty seven year old man was busted for
Speaker 3: stealing traffic speed cameras. Unclear what his motive was, although
Speaker 3: it should be noted that the sixty seven year old
Speaker 3: Thomas Kearns did receive a citation from one of these
Speaker 3: back in August. The series of thefts began in July.
Speaker 2: Though. He's been caught now and blamed for stealing at
Speaker 2: least four of these, but they believe he's the one
Speaker 2: responsible for us stealing many more. In fact, he got caught.
Speaker 2: Here's the irony bwice different camera he pulled up in
Speaker 2: his nondescript van wearing a hard hat and getting out
Speaker 2: using a grinder to cut the locks and remove the
Speaker 2: cameras from the the box on the side. He's smart.
Speaker 2: At least he's dressing like, you know, one of the guys.
Speaker 2: He's watching movies. Man, that's that's you know, then the
Speaker 2: bank robbery movies when they're casing the joint out or
Speaker 2: they got to get, you know, access to the place.
Speaker 2: You do you dressed like one of the construction workers
Speaker 2: with the hard hat and the reflective vest. And yeah,
Speaker 2: no one, no one, no one knows the no one's
Speaker 2: the wiser eleven. They did it Animal Kingdom, the TV show.
Speaker 2: They owned hard helmets, hundreds of movies. But yeah, it's
Speaker 2: caught doing that. I know. We don't have plenty of
Speaker 2: red light cameras down here, but the speeding camera that's
Speaker 2: the northeast. They've got those things all over.
Speaker 3: The place, and people like us forget about them that
Speaker 3: they have them, and then all of a sudden we're
Speaker 3: speeding through an area.
Speaker 4: And again not fair.
Speaker 2: All right, those of you who wear fitness trackers, what's
Speaker 2: the one you use?
Speaker 4: It's a fit bit oldest oldest model around.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, at least you're consistent with your technology having
Speaker 2: the out of date everything. Yes, yes, it's a consistent
Speaker 2: thing with you. I'm out of date, Bob. They actually
Speaker 2: started looking into how accurate these things are in the
Speaker 2: various things that they do. I don't own one, I
Speaker 2: don't wear one. I've never experienced using one. I can't
Speaker 2: speak to it. I can just share what they found
Speaker 2: and you all who use these can take the information
Speaker 2: as you may. Study found fitness tracking apps aren't as
Speaker 2: accurate as you think, and that includes counting the number
Speaker 2: of steps should take in a day. The research looked
Speaker 2: at fitbits, Apple watches, and a bunch of other brands,
Speaker 2: five things the devices track and how accurate they were.
Speaker 2: For each heart rate, they were all pretty good. Your
Speaker 2: real number might be about three percent higher or lower
Speaker 2: than what actually the readout is the heart rate or
Speaker 2: the steps. They said, heart rate, I'm going to go
Speaker 2: through the different things. They looked at heart rate. They're
Speaker 2: pretty good, but again about three percent off high or
Speaker 2: lower on average than what you're actually got. Heart rate
Speaker 2: variability that's slight variations in the time between heartbate beach,
Speaker 2: which can predict potential health issues. They found they're pretty
Speaker 2: accurate with that when you're sitting down, but not when
Speaker 2: you're moving around. Sleep tracking, they found that fitness trackers
Speaker 2: tend to overestimate how long you were. That's you throwing
Speaker 2: off the curve. No, I do not. That's you throwing
Speaker 2: off the curve with the inordinate amount of sleep you
Speaker 2: get in a twenty four hour period.
Speaker 3: I do not wear the fitbit when I sleep. I
Speaker 3: find it not I find it uncomfortable. All it comes
Speaker 3: down to is they're closed enough. That's how I look
Speaker 3: at it. You know, it tells me I had fifteen
Speaker 3: thousand steps yesterday. Well, so maybe I had fourteen, maybe
Speaker 3: I had sixteen.
Speaker 2: Well, actually you'll like the I was gonna say the
Speaker 2: counting steps for last But how about calories burned? They
Speaker 2: can do that estimate that They're saying that most of
Speaker 2: these devices underestimated calories burned by about twenty one percent.
Speaker 2: Then there were a couple others that were overestimating in
Speaker 2: the range of fourteen percent. So you might think you
Speaker 2: burned one hundred calories, but in round numbers, you're really
Speaker 2: anywhere between ninety to one hundred and twenty five?
Speaker 3: Is it for any of that? I just just look
Speaker 3: at the steps. That's it steps.
Speaker 2: It looks like, uh, it means it tends to underestimate
Speaker 2: how many you've done. All right, so that's that's that's
Speaker 2: good news there, right, But.
Speaker 3: It gives me credit when I'm scooping ice cream or wiping.
Speaker 2: Wiping counts as steps.
Speaker 3: Yeah, really, because you're moving your handback and forth, depending
Speaker 3: if you're where it's on my right hand.
Speaker 4: I thought steps were smoking.
Speaker 2: Technically you could get you could get steps first step
Speaker 2: with your feet now, but when.
Speaker 3: You look pat with your feet, yes, well what happens.
Speaker 2: My arms moved.
Speaker 4: With the feet. That's how it gets.
Speaker 2: Because your arms aren't moving or your feet aren't moving
Speaker 2: when you're scooping ice cream. That would be a hot
Speaker 2: raising the degree of difficulty.
Speaker 3: No, I'm I'm jogging in place when I scoop it,
Speaker 3: so I don't feel like I'm gonna get fat from it.
Speaker 3: It's like that no reins on you just played by
Speaker 3: blind melon psychology.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, So anyway, I just thought i'd
Speaker 2: share that with you. Yeah, because public service is at
Speaker 2: the heart of what we do here at this show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, and the kids, but pat with the yeah,
Speaker 3: with the arms moving it's it doesn't know if your
Speaker 3: feet are moving, you'd have to have it attached to
Speaker 3: your ankle, and then people would think that you're, you know,
Speaker 3: a criminal.
Speaker 2: So really the takeaway here is start smoking to increase
Speaker 2: your steps artificially. No, I don't think that is.
Speaker 4: Did you hear the show the other morning? The guys
Speaker 4: were promoting eating ice cream and smoking cigarettes while they wipe,
Speaker 4: and the little guy puts it on his on his ankle.
Speaker 4: It looks like an ankle monitor.
Speaker 2: Yes, the quality control mechanisms in places always with this show.
Speaker 2: Oh and then there was this unusual site. We go
Speaker 2: to Warren, Michigan, where police received multiple calls about an
Speaker 2: open casket in a local park. Oh my god, is
Speaker 2: our person in it?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: A dead one? At that? Did they figure? Did they
Speaker 2: go to the wrong place?
Speaker 4: They went to a park?
Speaker 2: And no, there's actually I guess kind of a logical
Speaker 2: explanation here. This woman had died and I guess where
Speaker 2: her funeral was being held was in a few towns over.
Speaker 2: She was ninety seven years old, had tons of elderly
Speaker 2: friends that are still alive that wanted to pay last respects,
Speaker 2: but weren't up for you know, getting several towns away,
Speaker 2: so they made a pit stop. The trick to arrange
Speaker 2: for a pit stop in the hometown there at the
Speaker 2: park for well wishers to come by at the open casket.
Speaker 2: There in the park was off to the final resting place.
Speaker 3: You were having your kid's birthday party in that park
Speaker 3: that weekend.
Speaker 2: All right, kids, come and get pizza. Quit playing with
Speaker 2: that old ay, it's kind of unusual. I mean, quit
Speaker 2: putting the sticks in her nose. Robbie. Yeah, Hey, you know,
Speaker 2: I guess they had cleared it with the park, just
Speaker 2: they didn't put the word out. You know, Hey, there's
Speaker 2: gonna be a viewing here today is only place to
Speaker 2: rock one on one one w E j R. R.
