<v Speaker 1>vote once.

14
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, we go to Vaucaville, California, which is near Sacramento.

15
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 2>A California man noticed something wasn't quite right with a

16
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 2>recent utility bill. He He had been taking a lot

17
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 2>of steps to really make sure he uses as little

18
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.359
<v Speaker 2>electricity as possible. He bought meters that show how much

19
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>various appliances are using, and he's you know.

20
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Just really antal with things.

21
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>So that said, once the bill arrived, it was much

22
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>more than he anticipated. As he had made efforts to

23
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 2>reduce his energy usage and lower his bill. Well, after

24
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>doing a little investigating, did you know a guy like

25
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 2>this is going to investigate? He came to find out

26
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 2>that the bill he's been receiving and paying for a

27
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>long time isn't actually his bill. His name's Ken Wilson.

28
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he can better explain this.

29
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Even after I turned off my breakers, I was I

30
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 3>kept going outside to check my meter to see if

31
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 3>it was still running, and he was still running. And

32
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't believe it when I was seeing these spikes

33
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 3>with my breakers off. Then I said, I'm not looking

34
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>at my meter. This is somebody else's meter. I feel

35
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 3>powerless right now because I can't control my own meter.

36
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>No pun intended.

37
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.759
<v Speaker 2>He's been he's been paying a neighbor's electric bill because

38
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>they got their meters designated wrong. They think this has

39
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>been going on for eighteen years. Now. Keep in mind,

40
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>this dude lives by himself, and obviously logic would go

41
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>to say someone living by himself probably gonna have a

42
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 2>slightly lower electric bill that perhaps a family living in

43
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 2>another unit or home, which was the.

44
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Case here, I'm telling you eighteen years. He said he

45
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>feels powerless. That's what I was talking about, no pun,

46
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>but you're not powerless. You're gonna stick it to the man.

47
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna do what we've all wanted to do to

48
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the power company. And this is just one step closer.

49
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 3>Pat.

50
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I know it's a mix up from the power company,

51
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>but this is like doing the old extension cord. You

52
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying to the neighbor, what's this extension

53
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>cord I see coming from Bob's house, I mean coming

54
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>from my house. And let me follow this. Oh my god, Bob,

55
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>are you running your house's power off mine?

56
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Dude?

57
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I found your generator plugged.

58
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>When I was growing up, one of my friend's dad

59
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>it was kind of like technically inclined. Okay, He went

60
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 2>over to the neighbor's house where the cable TV that

61
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 2>used to connect at the side, you know, the coax

62
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 2>ol cable would come into the house. He put a

63
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 2>splitter on there, ran another line, buried it over to

64
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 2>their house and free cable. For as long as I knew,

65
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 2>the dude, neighbors knew nothing about this, and as far

66
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 2>as I know, never did.

67
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>And think if it because that would have to mess

68
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>with your signal just a little.

69
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>It didn't because it was just mean. This isn't present day.

70
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 2>This is you know, thirty five years ago and when

71
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 2>it was much more just simple. Here's a line coming in,

72
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 2>it connects outside, it comes inside, and you split it

73
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 2>off into However, many TVs are being seems like, I

74
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 2>don't just tap in here at the source.

75
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 1>And your friend's dad doing it thief, but to do

76
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 1>it for electricity though, that's I hope it all works

77
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>out for this guy, and I truly hope he sticks

78
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>it to the man.

79
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey, if you've been really kind of feeling stressed out

80
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 2>as of late, don't feel like you're alone. Forty percent

81
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 2>of Americans, this is an estimate, have now hit peak

82
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 2>stress for this year. Once you combine everything that goes

83
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 2>into determined peak stress, a combination of money issues, the

84
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 2>economy slash money once again, physical health, family situations, mental health,

85
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.759
<v Speaker 2>the election, the news and everything happening around the world,

86
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>work issues, unexpected life events, your relationships. You just fall

87
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 2>it all up and you're like, dah.

88
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>There is good news though. That's why I go to

89
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the gym. All that comes out on a treadmill. What

90
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you can do that or even better, the better remedy

91
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>for stress six pack, and it works copious amounts of

92
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>alcohol generally. Although we might argue differently, I'm kidding not

93
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>good music. Listening to music is the number one thing

94
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>you can do to relieve stress. It's not gonna make

95
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 1>any of those aforementioned issues go away, but it triggers

96
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>more pleasant thoughts, powers you down a little bit, and

97
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you focus more on the music than these things that

98
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 1>are causing you the stress. Not a selfless plug. I

99
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 1>listen to the iHeartRadio up when I'm on the treadmill,

100
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>but we're free.

101
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Never sounded so good.

102
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you want to know the other trick? Pat?

103
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 2>What's that he's doing? His ostrich? I we are. You're

104
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.040
<v Speaker 2>never going to ever get me to agree that I

105
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 2>would like to go through life oblivious to major news

106
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>stories and events going on at any given time locally,

107
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 2>I know, nationally or around the world. I just I

108
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 2>can't do that. I cannot survive that way.

109
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 1>I know you can't. That's why our show has survived

110
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>over almost thirty years now, because you and I, as

111
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 1>much as we're concerned ways, we're very opposite in others.

112
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I know that you're gonna get all the news so

113
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I can ostrich it put my head in the sand.

114
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I hope people are going to you're such a little

115
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>old talco amen. Different strokes, different folks, Tomato, tomato.

116
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.959
<v Speaker 2>Two examples this week. This morning, Taco had not heard

117
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:14.079
<v Speaker 2>anything about the thousands of pagers that exploded on Hesbela

118
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 2>terrorists yesterday. Taco hadn't heard about the second assassination attempt

119
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.920
<v Speaker 2>on former President Donald Trump. When we got in here

120
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.160
<v Speaker 2>on Monday morning.

121
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I had Red Zone on from the time football started

122
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>until it ended, and before that it was fantasy football

123
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>now and then afterwards, you know, like the whatever runs

124
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>right after Sunday or raked in between the evening game, right,

125
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.439
<v Speaker 1>is usually like, oh well, red zone, there's nothing running.

126
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:51.639
<v Speaker 1>But if something was to like sixty minutes, here we go, right,

127
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna hear about it the next day from you.

128
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 2>A southern Indiana jail refused to take a woman due

129
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>to a high blood alcohol level. So the cops just

130
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:08.439
<v Speaker 2>left her in their parking lot. What ince Seymour, Indiana,

131
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.399
<v Speaker 2>You don't just leave her in the parking That's what

132
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>they did. Like somebody they wouldn't take her at the jail.

133
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.759
<v Speaker 2>At the County Jail. So the cops were like, I

134
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 2>don't stay here, lady, and they left.

135
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Like somebody said, if you're too drunk, you could end

136
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>up in the morgue.

137
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 2>You can't just leave that lift.

138
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Take her to the seventy two hour lock up.

139
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Problem is she she was left nineteen miles from where

140
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.279
<v Speaker 2>they picked her up drunk. It's left in jail parking lots.

141
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Did she have a phone to Uber?

142
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 2>The officers who picked her up said they found the

143
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 2>woman in the alley with a bottle of whiskey hanging

144
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 2>out of her purse. She was slurring her words and

145
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.320
<v Speaker 2>had a hard time sitting up. An ambulance was called

146
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.360
<v Speaker 2>to check her out, and her only ailment at the

147
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.080
<v Speaker 2>time was too much liquor. The woman refused to go

148
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 2>to the emergency room, so the next stop was the

149
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Jackson County Jail, and when they arrived there, the jail

150
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:07.039
<v Speaker 2>commander explained, we're not taking her. We've had issues with

151
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>previous inmates in this state where we are now being

152
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.600
<v Speaker 2>held liable, and we're just not going to deal with this.

153
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Take her somewhere else. But they left her in a

154
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:19.320
<v Speaker 2>parking lot.

155
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 1>This officers should be in trouble for that.

156
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Dude would think we.

157
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Back our law enforcement more than more than most people.

158
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Something like that.

159
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Though, Come on, dude, that's somebody's daughter that was in

160
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>that alley with the Donald L.

161
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Whiskey. It's being cooperative and didn't want to go there

162
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:44.039
<v Speaker 2>or go there. The answer is so obvious. It's not

163
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 2>a right answer, maybe not the morally correct thing to do,

164
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 2>but you know the answer, right.

165
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I already said the answer. Seventy two hour loca Oh

166
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>put her on a bus to another city.

167
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.440
<v Speaker 2>To ask her if she wants to go to the

168
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 2>bar uh.

169
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Brus rock station. What a one one her?

170
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Your no man,
