Speaker 1: Shortage of dumb people doing really stupid things. Welcome to
Speaker 1: another edition of idiotology.
Speaker 2: We'll let you tako one on one one w jr R.
Speaker 2: But you're freaking idiots, so we just turned music from
Speaker 2: a funeral portrait. They're part of the group of bands
Speaker 2: that will be playing along with Ice nine Kills and
Speaker 2: a host of others a little bit later this year
Speaker 2: and hard Rock. All I have you a chance to
Speaker 2: win tickets for that show this morning. If you vote
Speaker 2: and you say we play, you get about fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: to do so over the jar our Facebook page. Everybody
Speaker 2: votes eligible for the tickets.
Speaker 1: All right, you're voting on kid Rock. There's three songs
Speaker 1: to vote from. One with the most votes is played
Speaker 1: back at nine and then we just randomly picked somebody
Speaker 1: for those tickets.
Speaker 2: Ready for a little different love story?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you mean? Different love?
Speaker 2: Different type of love story?
Speaker 1: You've had a lady that loved a fish.
Speaker 2: This one is. Let's just say the couple is happily
Speaker 2: married now, but it took a couple of years of
Speaker 2: hot pursuit by the woman of the two. The man
Speaker 2: and the woman who ended up getting married, The Brazilian
Speaker 2: woman who first laid eyes on her now husband when
Speaker 2: she was attending a funeral. The funeral director named Apollo
Speaker 2: Scariots caught her eye. Daniella Signor was infatuated and knew
Speaker 2: that was the man that she needed to marry.
Speaker 1: The guy who works at the funeral the funeral director.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so obviously you're at the funeral. The funeral director
Speaker 2: is focused on funeral proceedings, right, So there was no connection,
Speaker 2: not even any eye contact whatsoever. So Daniella did the
Speaker 2: logical thing. She started showing up as a frequent viewer
Speaker 2: at funerals people she wouldn't even know. She would just
Speaker 2: go so she could see this Apollo guy. Did the
Speaker 2: guy ever do the math and kind of figure out that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't. Eventually they connected and now they're married.
Speaker 3: I was just, wouldn't you think, man, you really have
Speaker 3: bad luck with friends all of all the amount of
Speaker 3: people that you've been in here for that have died,
Speaker 3: I'm staying far away from you.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't even know them. This is he you, honey.
Speaker 1: People go to all ends for love. Okay, Well, I'm
Speaker 1: glad it worked out. For two years of just you know,
Speaker 1: attending funerals on a regular basis, which most of us.
Speaker 1: That's not something any of us really all look forward to. No,
Speaker 1: I mean they really don't cost you anything to go to, right, All,
Speaker 1: she's good, She's gonna have the meal after.
Speaker 2: You're sitting around one summer afternoon man on board today, you.
Speaker 1: Know what I know? At least it's ac in those places,
Speaker 1: very chilly to keep the bodies at the right tim.
Speaker 2: Go in there and sit down amongst the dearly departed
Speaker 2: friends and relatives and strike up. I'm gonna miss him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's her name is Vanessa?
Speaker 1: Oh her?
Speaker 2: Are you?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss her too. You know how it is nowadays.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 1: People's identifying in certain sex groups. What's in the suitcase?
Speaker 1: I said, we'd know because it's usually a head. But
Speaker 1: are we going with a leg? Actually, everything but the
Speaker 1: head would be the correct answer. This would be the
Speaker 1: contents of a suitcase in a popular Italian tourist spot.
Speaker 1: It was the body of a missing woman who had
Speaker 1: been beheaded.
Speaker 2: God. She was from Romania, had been missing since the
Speaker 2: middle of the last month. As it turns out, she
Speaker 2: was in Italy working as a high end escorts Oh okay,
Speaker 2: she got connected with this guy who wanted her services,
Speaker 2: had the services performed and then informed her that I
Speaker 2: guess he didn't have the money to pay for her services.
Speaker 2: She then said, you either pay me or I'm going
Speaker 2: to expose you to your family and blah blah, And
Speaker 2: that was enough to give him motive to dispense with her.
Speaker 4: And here I was thinking he just wanted a head,
Speaker 4: so I ended up getting hers. I mean, everybody right
Speaker 4: there on the mantel, I.
Speaker 2: Know, this is really really going to be morbid, but
Speaker 2: my first thought was similar to that, although it involved
Speaker 2: the head still on the body and the inability to
Speaker 2: zip up the suitcase without making an accommodation.
Speaker 1: Oh come on, this just whole thing just feels discussing.
Speaker 2: Would you like some whier fare to wrap up this
Speaker 2: final idiotology of the morning. This comes with visuals that
Speaker 2: you might find pleasing.
Speaker 1: Somebody said, you watched wedding crashers too many times? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: old lady, Yeah, yeah, I remember it. Towards the end,
Speaker 1: he goes, I've moved on to funerals now, guys, it's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah. There's a a neighborhood in Minneapolis where every year,
Speaker 2: for the last few years, large crowds have been gathering
Speaker 2: to watch the annual sharpening of a giant pencil, a
Speaker 2: number two pencil that's.
Speaker 1: Right along the lines of going to a funeral on
Speaker 1: a board summer day. I'm not going to one. Here's
Speaker 1: here's how this all came to be. There was a
Speaker 1: horrible storm a few years ago and this property owned
Speaker 1: by this family suffered some severe damage in one of
Speaker 1: their oak trees. Was really just beyond needed to be
Speaker 1: taken down. So rather than take it down, they commissioned
Speaker 1: a local artist to sculpt a giant number two pencil
Speaker 1: huge out of it's like twenty two feet tall. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at it jrr Facebook page right now.
Speaker 2: And paint it to resemble a number two pencil. And
Speaker 2: then they also built a giant sharpener, which now on
Speaker 2: the anniversary of the storm the locals gather. This year.
Speaker 2: On this past Saturday, more than a thousand people showed
Speaker 2: up to watch him place the giant sharpener on top
Speaker 2: of the pencil and shave a little bit off. So
Speaker 2: the thought is, make this an annual event and eventually
Speaker 2: there'll be nothing left. But you remember you'd use those
Speaker 2: number twos when you were in school to get him
Speaker 2: down as small as you could barely even hold on
Speaker 2: to it, So they envision that happening one day. I
Speaker 2: my My main takeaway here is Okay, that's that's cool.
Speaker 1: Obviously there's no ho A in this neighborhood.
Speaker 2: There's no h o A in the world that's gonna
Speaker 2: put up with this. So're gonna let you put up
Speaker 2: a giant number two pencil.
Speaker 1: These thousand people get together, is it at least like
Speaker 1: a party? Like?
Speaker 2: Do they have drinks and watch the I have the
Speaker 2: full coverage of it. If you really are that inquisitive,
Speaker 2: you can maybe look closely and see if there's food
Speaker 2: and beverage being offered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I'm learning, because otherwise I'm out. I
Speaker 1: might go down to the local lanes on Saturday. What
Speaker 1: do you want to do? I was playing on going
Speaker 1: bawling with the boys.
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, honey, it's pencil sharpening day.
Speaker 1: I'm fast forwarding to the party area. Let's see people, people,
Speaker 1: They're jumping up and down. I'm not seeing any kekestands.
Speaker 1: I am not seeing any red solo cups. No, there
Speaker 1: is a bunch of goobers. We just go to the
Speaker 1: pixel sorp neat f are the rock station
