Speaker 1: Shortage of dumb people doing really stupid things. Welcome to
Speaker 1: another edition of idiotology. We let you tako one on
Speaker 1: one one w jr R.
Speaker 2: But you're freaking idiots, all right. Before we get into
Speaker 2: this last idiotology, another friendly reminder. If you want to
Speaker 2: have a say and you say it, we play it.
Speaker 2: Please do so jr. Facebook page before nine o'clock, tell
Speaker 2: us which collective soul song of the three see listed
Speaker 2: there we should play the one with the most votes.
Speaker 3: Will do just that.
Speaker 4: Your choices are where the river flows the world, I
Speaker 4: know or gel somebody votes, it's gonna win.
Speaker 3: Kim Dracula tickets jr.
Speaker 2: Facebook page for that. All right. Those of us who
Speaker 2: own Roku streaming devices, you may find this interesting and
Speaker 2: perhaps irritating if you are part of the select test
Speaker 2: group of users that have been put through this over
Speaker 2: the last few weeks.
Speaker 3: I haven't noticed anything yet, so.
Speaker 2: I generally have a favorable opinion of Roku and their
Speaker 2: devices and the variety and you know price points they
Speaker 2: offer for your specific streaming needs.
Speaker 3: Agree.
Speaker 2: I do have a problem with this though. They're testing
Speaker 2: auto play ads that you are forced to watch can't
Speaker 2: fast forward before you can even access the home screen,
Speaker 2: so you turn the thing on and you're hit with ads.
Speaker 2: And we know sometimes that happens when you go to
Speaker 2: websites or whatever, and you can usually just skip right
Speaker 2: over and get to the the entree. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: They want to see how it's playing with Roku users
Speaker 2: across the country and some test groups see if they're
Speaker 2: noticing or not. Oh, they're noticing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I say, Hello fire Stick.
Speaker 2: Well you have similar issues over there, although not before
Speaker 2: you get of the home screen. I mean there's on
Speaker 2: the fire TV platform there's stuff garbled all across the
Speaker 2: top that there's nothing you can do about. But you
Speaker 2: can still go right to your your home style.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, it can go right to YouTube TV or
Speaker 4: Netflix or whatever I'm choosing.
Speaker 2: So it doesn't sound like those users who have noticed
Speaker 2: this and have piped up about it are exactly over
Speaker 2: the moon being forced to watch advertisements for stuff that
Speaker 2: you can't fast forward through before you can even get
Speaker 2: to your home screen to decide what you want to use,
Speaker 2: and then be subjected to ads. We'll see if they
Speaker 2: move forward with this or not. They haven't said yet
Speaker 2: whether they're going to abandon the idea.
Speaker 3: I think you may want to do that else.
Speaker 2: It certainly sounds that way. United States Postal service worker
Speaker 2: accused of stealing one point six million dollars in checks
Speaker 2: from the mail to fund his lavish lifestyle post a
Speaker 2: workout of Washington.
Speaker 3: D C.
Speaker 4: Is he doing the old one where you hold up
Speaker 4: the letter to the light and look for the check
Speaker 4: in it.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not sure if he's going that route, but
Speaker 2: he probably is very well versed in what US Department
Speaker 2: of Treasury envelopes look like and what's inside.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, he's.
Speaker 2: Been a pinchion nose for quite some time to fund
Speaker 2: his his lifestyle, which includes exotic vacations, expensive purchases, and
Speaker 2: many a trip to quote unquote gentleman's clubs.
Speaker 4: In his little postal suit. You think he's wearing the
Speaker 4: post office uniform in there.
Speaker 5: Orm Hey, I got ann beloved for you to lick,
Speaker 5: and he's making all the postal jokes with her.
Speaker 4: How about you on zip code my pants, my little
Speaker 4: blue shorts.
Speaker 2: This guy scooped up one point six mil before they
Speaker 2: before they figured it out.
Speaker 3: Here's the question.
Speaker 4: How did the people that it was their checks not
Speaker 4: complain and then get to this sooner than him get
Speaker 4: into almost two mills.
Speaker 2: You know how bureaucracy goes man, especially when you're dealing
Speaker 2: with the FEDS. If stuff isn't working like it should be,
Speaker 2: you can call him complain and bitch and moan, and
Speaker 2: a lot of times you just get sent into a
Speaker 2: black hole and until you really see an overwhelming example
Speaker 2: of something is completely wrong here. Sometimes things aren't quickly
Speaker 2: taken care of.
Speaker 4: Pet I mean, he has a specific route, so the
Speaker 4: IRS or the government would be getting calls from right
Speaker 4: in that area.
Speaker 3: I think they could.
Speaker 2: They have to see the red flat, which is exactly
Speaker 2: what ultimately did this guy in. And then they started
Speaker 2: drilling down, looking in to see what they could find
Speaker 2: out when they discovered bank surveillance footage of him making
Speaker 2: deposits and withdrawals using the altered stolen in an altered
Speaker 2: checks to fund his own activities.
Speaker 4: Wow, should have stuck to grandma's check for five dollars.
Speaker 4: Had a lady bust out a check check book in
Speaker 4: front of me the other day in public's it already
Speaker 4: took her. It wasn't the person checking at her out's fault.
Speaker 4: It was her fault. She's got way too many items
Speaker 4: in the fast lane, for one, and I'm not being
Speaker 4: the old man bitch. And I was just like, okay,
Speaker 4: I don't care. She's a nice little lady. And all
Speaker 4: of a sudden she starts questioning, well, that one said
Speaker 4: it was three eighty nine.
Speaker 3: Can you go?
Speaker 4: They went, let me look, and then then she breaks
Speaker 4: out the checkbook. I almost, in your words, I almost
Speaker 4: stroked out right there in the line.
Speaker 2: You know, with the old checkbook thing in the grocery
Speaker 2: store line. It's not so much that I'm against someone
Speaker 2: doing that. If the store's going to accept that method
Speaker 2: of payments, okay, well the stores created. If you really
Speaker 2: want to be mad at someone, it would be the
Speaker 2: store for allowing that kind of payment. I personally would
Speaker 2: accept him if I ran a store, because I think
Speaker 2: you're cutting off a certain portion of your audience that's
Speaker 2: still stuck your potential customer base. But what really gets
Speaker 2: me is the waiting until it's completely done to even
Speaker 2: take out the check pook. Yeah, why not just get
Speaker 2: the thing out and feel everything out except the total?
Speaker 5: Already have publics written exactly, Just write the total in hand.
Speaker 5: It over be done, And I'm almost sure. Did you
Speaker 5: know that you can? This is almost sure, Bob, So
Speaker 5: don't quote me on this.
Speaker 4: I think that she was able to write the check
Speaker 4: for more than it is, just like you would do
Speaker 4: with your debit card.
Speaker 3: Yeah you can do that, really? Yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 4: I learned a lot about checks that day. I really
Speaker 4: wish I hadn't I Oh god, I want did they
Speaker 4: get the price check? Was she in the right on
Speaker 4: the price check?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I was so pissed because.
Speaker 4: Pat I almost got in the other line, and I
Speaker 4: watched people that would have.
Speaker 3: Been behind me in that line walking out of the door.
Speaker 3: And I'm still waiting on an old checkbook.
Speaker 2: Sally there, Hey, want to give you the heads up

Speaker 2: stunning discovery about the health impacts of quitting drinking bottled water.

Speaker 4: bad for you if you stop drinking it.

Speaker 2: for most people having small traces of plastic particulate in
Speaker 2: our systems. They're saying, that's that's the number one source
Speaker 2: of where it's coming from.
