Speaker 1: A shortage of dumb people doing really stupid things. Welcome
Speaker 1: to another edition of idiotology. Would let your taco one
Speaker 1: on one one w jr R.
Speaker 2: But you're freaking idiots, all right. Just another friendly reminder.
Speaker 2: If you'd like to try to win your self Trans
Speaker 2: Siberian Orchestra tickets today, throw a vote in for you. Say,
Speaker 2: we played everyone who votes every morning for this. There's
Speaker 2: always a prize up for grabs, and someone who votes
Speaker 2: is randomly picked to win today's prize.
Speaker 1: It's Trans Siberian Orchestra ticket anyway, seven Dust is who
Speaker 1: you're voting on JR. Our Facebook page. You have just
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes to get a vote in. These only
Speaker 1: vote once.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we go to Vaucaville, California, which is near Sacramento.
Speaker 2: A California man noticed something wasn't quite right with a
Speaker 2: recent utility bill. He He had been taking a lot
Speaker 2: of steps to really make sure he uses as little
Speaker 2: electricity as possible. He bought meters that show how much
Speaker 2: various appliances are using, and he's you know.
Speaker 1: Just really antal with things.
Speaker 2: So that said, once the bill arrived, it was much
Speaker 2: more than he anticipated. As he had made efforts to
Speaker 2: reduce his energy usage and lower his bill. Well, after
Speaker 2: doing a little investigating, did you know a guy like
Speaker 2: this is going to investigate? He came to find out
Speaker 2: that the bill he's been receiving and paying for a
Speaker 2: long time isn't actually his bill. His name's Ken Wilson.
Speaker 2: Maybe he can better explain this.
Speaker 3: Even after I turned off my breakers, I was I
Speaker 3: kept going outside to check my meter to see if
Speaker 3: it was still running, and he was still running. And
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it when I was seeing these spikes
Speaker 3: with my breakers off. Then I said, I'm not looking
Speaker 3: at my meter. This is somebody else's meter. I feel
Speaker 3: powerless right now because I can't control my own meter.
Speaker 1: No pun intended.
Speaker 2: He's been he's been paying a neighbor's electric bill because
Speaker 2: they got their meters designated wrong. They think this has
Speaker 2: been going on for eighteen years. Now. Keep in mind,
Speaker 2: this dude lives by himself, and obviously logic would go
Speaker 2: to say someone living by himself probably gonna have a
Speaker 2: slightly lower electric bill that perhaps a family living in
Speaker 2: another unit or home, which was the.
Speaker 1: Case here, I'm telling you eighteen years. He said he
Speaker 1: feels powerless. That's what I was talking about, no pun,
Speaker 1: but you're not powerless. You're gonna stick it to the man.
Speaker 1: You're gonna do what we've all wanted to do to
Speaker 1: the power company. And this is just one step closer.
Speaker 3: Pat.
Speaker 1: I know it's a mix up from the power company,
Speaker 1: but this is like doing the old extension cord. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying to the neighbor, what's this extension
Speaker 1: cord I see coming from Bob's house, I mean coming
Speaker 1: from my house. And let me follow this. Oh my god, Bob,
Speaker 1: are you running your house's power off mine?
Speaker 2: Dude?
Speaker 1: I found your generator plugged.
Speaker 2: When I was growing up, one of my friend's dad
Speaker 2: it was kind of like technically inclined. Okay, He went
Speaker 2: over to the neighbor's house where the cable TV that
Speaker 2: used to connect at the side, you know, the coax
Speaker 2: ol cable would come into the house. He put a
Speaker 2: splitter on there, ran another line, buried it over to
Speaker 2: their house and free cable. For as long as I knew,
Speaker 2: the dude, neighbors knew nothing about this, and as far
Speaker 2: as I know, never did.
Speaker 1: And think if it because that would have to mess
Speaker 1: with your signal just a little.
Speaker 2: It didn't because it was just mean. This isn't present day.
Speaker 2: This is you know, thirty five years ago and when
Speaker 2: it was much more just simple. Here's a line coming in,
Speaker 2: it connects outside, it comes inside, and you split it
Speaker 2: off into However, many TVs are being seems like, I
Speaker 2: don't just tap in here at the source.
Speaker 1: And your friend's dad doing it thief, but to do
Speaker 1: it for electricity though, that's I hope it all works
Speaker 1: out for this guy, and I truly hope he sticks
Speaker 1: it to the man.
Speaker 2: Hey, if you've been really kind of feeling stressed out
Speaker 2: as of late, don't feel like you're alone. Forty percent
Speaker 2: of Americans, this is an estimate, have now hit peak
Speaker 2: stress for this year. Once you combine everything that goes
Speaker 2: into determined peak stress, a combination of money issues, the
Speaker 2: economy slash money once again, physical health, family situations, mental health,
Speaker 2: the election, the news and everything happening around the world,
Speaker 2: work issues, unexpected life events, your relationships. You just fall
Speaker 2: it all up and you're like, dah.
Speaker 1: There is good news though. That's why I go to
Speaker 1: the gym. All that comes out on a treadmill. What
Speaker 1: you can do that or even better, the better remedy
Speaker 1: for stress six pack, and it works copious amounts of
Speaker 1: alcohol generally. Although we might argue differently, I'm kidding not
Speaker 1: good music. Listening to music is the number one thing
Speaker 1: you can do to relieve stress. It's not gonna make
Speaker 1: any of those aforementioned issues go away, but it triggers
Speaker 1: more pleasant thoughts, powers you down a little bit, and
Speaker 1: you focus more on the music than these things that
Speaker 1: are causing you the stress. Not a selfless plug. I
Speaker 1: listen to the iHeartRadio up when I'm on the treadmill,
Speaker 1: but we're free.
Speaker 2: Never sounded so good.
Speaker 1: Yes, you want to know the other trick? Pat?
Speaker 2: What's that he's doing? His ostrich? I we are. You're
Speaker 2: never going to ever get me to agree that I
Speaker 2: would like to go through life oblivious to major news
Speaker 2: stories and events going on at any given time locally,
Speaker 2: I know, nationally or around the world. I just I
Speaker 2: can't do that. I cannot survive that way.
Speaker 1: I know you can't. That's why our show has survived
Speaker 1: over almost thirty years now, because you and I, as
Speaker 1: much as we're concerned ways, we're very opposite in others.
Speaker 1: I know that you're gonna get all the news so
Speaker 1: I can ostrich it put my head in the sand.
Speaker 1: I hope people are going to you're such a little
Speaker 1: old talco amen. Different strokes, different folks, Tomato, tomato.
Speaker 2: Two examples this week. This morning, Taco had not heard
Speaker 2: anything about the thousands of pagers that exploded on Hesbela
Speaker 2: terrorists yesterday. Taco hadn't heard about the second assassination attempt
Speaker 2: on former President Donald Trump. When we got in here
Speaker 2: on Monday morning.
Speaker 1: I had Red Zone on from the time football started
Speaker 1: until it ended, and before that it was fantasy football
Speaker 1: now and then afterwards, you know, like the whatever runs
Speaker 1: right after Sunday or raked in between the evening game, right,
Speaker 1: is usually like, oh well, red zone, there's nothing running.
Speaker 1: But if something was to like sixty minutes, here we go, right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hear about it the next day from you.
Speaker 2: A southern Indiana jail refused to take a woman due
Speaker 2: to a high blood alcohol level. So the cops just
Speaker 2: left her in their parking lot. What ince Seymour, Indiana,
Speaker 2: You don't just leave her in the parking That's what
Speaker 2: they did. Like somebody they wouldn't take her at the jail.
Speaker 2: At the County Jail. So the cops were like, I
Speaker 2: don't stay here, lady, and they left.
Speaker 1: Like somebody said, if you're too drunk, you could end
Speaker 1: up in the morgue.
Speaker 2: You can't just leave that lift.
Speaker 1: Take her to the seventy two hour lock up.
Speaker 2: Problem is she she was left nineteen miles from where
Speaker 2: they picked her up drunk. It's left in jail parking lots.
Speaker 1: Did she have a phone to Uber?
Speaker 2: The officers who picked her up said they found the
Speaker 2: woman in the alley with a bottle of whiskey hanging
Speaker 2: out of her purse. She was slurring her words and
Speaker 2: had a hard time sitting up. An ambulance was called
Speaker 2: to check her out, and her only ailment at the
Speaker 2: time was too much liquor. The woman refused to go
Speaker 2: to the emergency room, so the next stop was the
Speaker 2: Jackson County Jail, and when they arrived there, the jail
Speaker 2: commander explained, we're not taking her. We've had issues with
Speaker 2: previous inmates in this state where we are now being
Speaker 2: held liable, and we're just not going to deal with this.
Speaker 2: Take her somewhere else. But they left her in a
Speaker 2: parking lot.
Speaker 1: This officers should be in trouble for that.
Speaker 2: Dude would think we.
Speaker 1: Back our law enforcement more than more than most people.
Speaker 2: Something like that.
Speaker 1: Though, Come on, dude, that's somebody's daughter that was in
Speaker 1: that alley with the Donald L.
Speaker 2: Whiskey. It's being cooperative and didn't want to go there
Speaker 2: or go there. The answer is so obvious. It's not
Speaker 2: a right answer, maybe not the morally correct thing to do,
Speaker 2: but you know the answer, right.
Speaker 1: I already said the answer. Seventy two hour loca Oh
Speaker 1: put her on a bus to another city.
Speaker 2: To ask her if she wants to go to the
Speaker 2: bar uh.
Speaker 1: Brus rock station. What a one one her?
Speaker 2: Your no man,
