Extra. Let's check in.
Bob
What's going Well, a Utah man has been Arrested for shooting his friend. Here's how this went down. His friend claimed he could, quote, dodge bullets. Officers responded to a home in Kearns, Utah, where the victim was found unresponsive and later died. His 23 year old friend told authorities he and the victim had smoked marijuana and talked about firearms. The men were reportedly handling two handguns. When the victim said, quote, he could dodge a bullet. They unloaded each gun before the suspect pointed a firearm at the victim and pulled the trigger. With his friend trying to jump out of the way to prove he could move before the trigger was pulled. Well, they repeated this, Josh, about six times, but the final time, the gun fired with a real bullet striking the victim in the chest. The 23 year old has been taken into custody for manslaughter.
Josh
So they start by smoking pot. They get into a discussion about firearms and start playing. The guy's dead. So this is the definition of a buzz kill, man.
Chick
Oh, yeah, boy.
Ace
Yeah, this guy, for this guy, chronic was his kryptonite. He could not dodge the bullet.
Chick
Oh, man.
Josh
Yeah, it's like one of those, one of those anti weed ads from the 70s. Remember those? Oh, yeah, like this is your brain on drugs kind of thing. Shows two guys, hey, man, I can dodge a bullet, man.
Bob
Speaking of your brain on drugs, scientists say frequent marijuana use may damage your short term memory.
Josh
What?
Bob
The study analyzed data from over a thousand former or current cannabis users. The cannabis users underwent brain scans while completing seven different types of cognitive tests over several years. Researchers found cannabis use reduced brain activity in areas responsible for decision making, memory, paying attention, and emotional processing.
Josh
Noticing when red lights go green that one of them turning off turn signals. Any of those in there, your working.
Bob
Memory, the one that remembers shopping lists or follows verbal instructions, was significantly impacted by marijuana use, with nearly 65% of lifetime pot users exhibiting reduced brain activity during a working memory task.
Chick
That's the trade off. I mean, there's another report out there that says people who have smoked weed for 65 years really enjoyed themselves.
Bob
Didn'T.
Josh
Worry about a thing. Like a goldfish in bong water. I just feel, just feel good. Yeah, I want to go the previous story these two idiots are talking about. The guy says he can dodge a bullet. He's so stoned, man, that is a bummer.
Bob
Stone. Doesn't that make you slower than anything? Yeah, I would think, but it's about.
Josh
The fact that he's thinking like an idiot, right. And taking a chance of.
Chick
And they proved themselves in their minds correct the first six times. So they felt Impervious.
Josh
Yeah, but the guy didn't realize it was a bullet in the chamber.
Chick
What?
Josh
Didn't we have a story a couple years ago? I remember this. The guy said something like, I can hold up three phone books or something and you can still shoot me. Remember this?
Bob
Yeah, I do remember that.
Chick
He died. Yeah.
Bob
And he held it right in front of his chest. I believe he had somebody fire at him. Yeah. And.
Josh
Yeah, and that killed him. There is a way to do that experiment, I don't know, with, say, a balloon where if it doesn't go right, you don't die. Yeah, I'll have to find that.
Chick
A balloon?
Ace
Yeah.
Josh
You could put three phone books in front of a balloon. Oh, shoot. The. I'm just saying.
Chick
I thought you meant instead of the phone books, you put a balloon in front.
Ace
Like, I don't think that's. It'll bounce right off.
Josh
I'd like to bet on that one.
Chick
Yeah.
Josh
I say, no matter how many balloons it is, guy dies. Everybody's dying on this balloon. We haven't figured this Goodyear blimp.
Chick
Hey, try two balloons.
Josh
Guy dies. No, no. Yeah, I got you.
Chick
Yes, of course. Yes. Or don't. Don't experiment with guns. Just have them for whatever you. You need them for.
Ace
Or, like, don't smoke pot. Like, do coke. Like something that's going to speed you up so you'll get out of the way in time.
Josh
Oh, there you go.
Chick
That's the lesson. Yeah.
Josh
Well, Officer, I heard Jeff Oscar say so.
Chick
I didn't realize those guys were. They weren't playing with loaded guns. One guy had a bullet in the chamber and didn't know it.
Josh
Yeah, it sounds like they'd gone. Sounds like they'd gone back and forth. Still idiocy, right? You don't play with real guns.
Chick
Sure, sure.
Josh
Things can go wrong. Yeah, but. Wow. And there wasn't. Conversely, wasn't there a guy that invented a bulletproof vest that would put it on to demonstrate it and it was effective?
Bob
I think I remember that, too.
Chick
There was a. Yeah, guy shot him in the head.
Josh
Bill, next time, yeah.
Chick
Maybe make a helmet, pal.
Josh
There's one flaw with this vest. It's like the Harrison Ford thing where the guy's doing all the. Whatever it is, karate moves with a whip, and he just takes a gun out and shoots him.
Chick
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Josh
I was always wondering about that.
Ace
Well, there was that famous race product manufacturer, Bill Simpson, who made all the race products, and he got famous. His brand got famous because he put on a fire retardant Suit went down to the track, had the douse him in gasoline and lit him on fire to show to all the drivers that his was the safest. And thus he became very, very wealthy. Yeah, he, he ended up being the end all be all for space and the guy safety. Yeah.
Josh
The guy that invented the.
Chick
What is it called?
Josh
The gfi. What's the, the plug thing, what's that called?
Ace
Yeah, yeah.
Josh
GFI circuit.
Bob
Yes.
Josh
A friend of mine was telling me that when he first developed that he would go to trade shows and stand in a bathtub and plug stuff in.
Dave
Oh.
Chick
What.
Bob
Oh my gosh. And drop those lot of.
Chick
I mean that's confident of your word.
Bob
Yeah, that's very confident.
Josh
Yeah. But again the. This thing is a really dumb idea. Yeah.
Chick
My gosh.
Josh
I'll see if I can find the story about the phone book guy.
Bob
But of course, here's a dumb.
Josh
Especially these days, by the way. Yeah.
Bob
There are no phone books.
Chick
Those that are. They're thin.
Josh
Well, you press the contacts in your.
Bob
Iphone, hold your iPhone up.
Josh
Do they. They finally stopped giving everybody free phone books, right?
Chick
I, I have never gotten one.
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
A few years since I've moved. Yeah, it was.
Josh
I mean I can remember every year getting them and immediately throwing them in the garbage can.
Bob
Yes. There was a white pages and a yellow pages.
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
I remember not being able to live without them though.
Bob
Sure.
Josh
Oh yeah.
Chick
They're wild. World, World's a crazy place.
Josh
Yeah.
Ace
No, but isn't that why we have so many companies that start with a is because of the phone book? They, they, they would appear first in the yellow pages.
Josh
Aaa. Aaron.
Chick
Hey, what mechanic should we go to? How about aaaaaardvark?
Josh
Is there, is there a. AAAAA rehab.
Chick
Where they combine the two?
Josh
Or, or a. Yeah, that's for alcoholics who drive. I'm sorry.
Bob
Healthcare workers in Vietnam say a man with a wooden chopstick lodged in his eye socket for three weeks without noticing.
Chick
Has been treated without noticing.
Bob
The unnamed 24 year old went to the Canto University of Medicine and Pharmacy complaining of pain and swelling in his left eye. Initially there were no signs of injury apart from some swelling and discharge. But a CT scan revealed a 3 inch long foreign body lodged in the man's eye socket. On further examination, a wooden chopstick apparently had penetrated the ocular area and destroyed the man's lateral nasal wall. When asked how that chopstick got there, the patient could only recall a quote, collision with a friend while partying, but no recollection of a chopstick piercing his sinus.
Chick
It must have pierced, snapped, and then that piece was in there, cuz.
Josh
But he's so drunk, he doesn't remember. Yeah, yeah.
Bob
Doctors were able to safely remove the chopstick from the patient's eye socket. Man, y.
Josh
That's why I always like a fork. You get a fork behind your eyeball.
Bob
You'Re going to know it.
Chick
You'll remember that.
Josh
Yeah, yeah. But not a spork.
Bob
No.
Josh
Yeah. Well, this is horrible.
Bob
Another. I.
Josh
Did you hear that? Where was this again?
Bob
This was in Vietnam.
Josh
Oh, then that will effectively make this not work. Okay, I understand. He's going to court. It's going to be a chop suey. You know, in China, I'm gonna say.
Chick
The location didn't have much to do with Vietnam.
Josh
Changed the content. By the way, when I was a kid, the only time I ever had Chinese food until I was a senior in high school, La Choy and I went to Chung. Was that. Was that. Was that lachoy chop suey?
Bob
Yeah, it was in the can.
Josh
God, terrible.
Bob
Had the two cans, a little one on top. Oh, yeah. The bean sprouts.
Josh
God awful.
Bob
And the water chestnuts.
Chick
Yes.
Josh
But now I love Chinese food. Do they actually have chop suey at Chinese restaurants?
Chick
Yes.
Josh
Started in San Francisco, actually. Seriously? Yeah, but I've never. I always get other things.
Chick
But we always had the canned chow main. We never had the chop suey. It was what we had.
Josh
I mean, I think it turned off a couple generations of eating great Asian food. It didn't taste anything like Chinese.
Ace
It had a weird slime to it.
Bob
You know what, though?
Josh
I liked it.
Bob
I did, too.
Josh
It was mushy.
Ace
Right. Except for the water chestnut.
Bob
Right.
Ace
That was the only crisp vegetable left.
Chick
Or something that a lot of people did not like. It still exists, and it's still out there.
Josh
I imagine it's still out there.
Bob
But, I mean, joy makes you.
Chick
Yeah, yeah.
Josh
When I. When I went to. I remember I went to Chung was For the first time, and I. It was this revelatory moment that this is the greatest food I've ever had in my life.
Chick
Yeah.
Josh
I mean, it's amazing, but that, you know, that. That crap in the can. Yeah, yeah.
Chick
I'm sure it's not great, but I. As a kid, I remember it being kind of a treat.
Josh
But you and I agree that the. To me, the only really good canned food is the Chef Boyardee ravioli.
Chick
I think it's wonderful.
Ace
Oh, no. I think a Diddy Moore beef stew holds up pretty well.
Chick
Absolutely has its place. Yeah.
Bob
I agree you like?
Josh
Did he? More in the can. Sure.
Ace
Better than Dudley Moore.
Chick
Hey, what did you say?
Josh
Don't you want to be me?
Chick
You know, speaking of food, we talked about how baked potatoes are, of course, on everyone's super bowl party. Super bowl party survey.
Josh
They were number one. Big survey, Right?
Chick
Right. There was an odd survey that said baked potatoes in certain states were number one. Well, how about us? And Pat had a wonderful song about it. How about some songs about more traditional super bowl food?
Bob
Okay.
Chick
Oh, I want a jalapeno popper. Yes. It's a Super bowl showstopper. A favorite of the Big Bopper. Now, Pat, you can only. You're kind of sticking with veggies, right?
Josh
I like the steamed broccolini.
Chick
Can't have the cocktail weenie, eggplant and zucchini.
Josh
I like the steamed broccolini. What else do you like?
Chick
Well, I think I'd prefer a bigger plate of nachos.
Josh
Oh, yeah.
Chick
You can serve it with gazpacho. Randy Savage was so macho. He liked a plate of nachos. Chip, chip, chip.
Bob
Very nice.
Josh
Yeah, I like the linear thought. Kind of like America. Lyrics make no sense. That was very good. Now we have Christy Lee at the news desk. Have we missed anything?
Bob
Well, if you're just joining us, we've talked a lot about nudity. This morning we had the nude cruise that's taken off with Norwegian Cruise lines down there in the Palmas. A UK couple was shocked to discover lewd photographs screwed into a tree at a local nature area. Erica Blake and her husband Dylan spotted the pornographic pictures while walking through Humbledon woods near Brunley. They were on a stroll, Mr. Blake told Lansk Live. We stopped off to have some tomato soup from a flask.
Josh
Yeah, that's what a part I called a bloody Mary.
Chick
Where is this?
Bob
In the uk?
Josh
How odd.
Bob
We turned around and there were. They were there, bold as brass. It put us right off our soup and roll. We? Who would put something like that in the middle of the woods? The couple noted the images appeared to have been screwed into the tree some time ago.
Josh
Screwed him?
Bob
Yeah. As they looked a bit weathered and worn. Well, guy needed to have his hands free.
Josh
Oh, God.
Chick
What do we do?
Josh
They laminate them and then screw.
Chick
Yeah, exactly.
Josh
I mean, back in the day, I guess maybe you'd have a tree fort and hide your dad's porno in there.
Chick
But so what now? Instead of you just have to. The guy just has to stand there and enjoy the photos.
Ace
Is there like a knothole in the tree?
Josh
Tomato soup.
Bob
Tomato soup and a flask. Yes. I bet he meant thermos.
Josh
Oh, it's probably a Stanley.
Bob
Yes, for sure.
Josh
Have you been to a kid's sporting event lately?
Bob
Oh, Stanley's the man.
Josh
And you and you go out and there's. I was just at one last night. And there's the card table in the lobby of the gym with the lost and found. And there's the Stanley museum.
Ace
Yeah, I got nine at the last one. Oh, and thank you, Stanley, for making every cup just about half an inch taller than fits in on my cabinet shelves. Oh, yeah, that, that. None will fit in exactly right.
Chick
I have to lie mine on the side or lay or.
Josh
Yeah, we have.
Ace
We have a Stanley cabinet.
Josh
No, it's a thing. So you can lay them down. Oh, yeah, like a caddy.
Bob
It's like a wine rack kind of thing.
Josh
Exactly.
Chick
That's nice.
Josh
I'm sure that's why they came up with it.
Ace
I believe they had to get one.
Josh
I believe it was. I forget if it was like Walmart or it would. Yeah, but that way you can put your Stanley's in there.
Bob
Ah, shelf caddy for your.
Ace
That's what I need. All mine are just sitting on my counter because none of them will fit.
Josh
Is there. Is there a Stanley vs Yeti thing going on?
Bob
Probably.
Ace
I think Stanley won the beverage part. I think yeti won the cooler.
Chick
You know what's weird? In my mind, the yeti is for my coffee. It's for the hot when it comes to the drinks, and the Stanley is for the cold. But I know that's not.
Josh
They're both completely great, Pat. Back in the day, they were both for booze.
Chick
Of course.
Josh
Of course. Hot toddies and cold drinks.
Bob
A California ophthalmologist has revealed that she removed not a chopstick 23 forgotten contact lenses from a patient's eye.
Josh
I can't stand the eye stuff.
Bob
I know. Me either.
Ace
That woman can see.
Bob
Next week, Katrina Kurtiva posted on Instagram a video of herself pulling up the woman's eyelid with a lid speculum to reveal several bunched up contact lenses. She then starts to remove them with a Q tip.
Chick
The hell's wrong with this lady?
Bob
Kerchiefa wrote in the video's caption that, quote, this is an occasion when someone forgot to remove contact lenses at night and kept on putting a new one in every morning.
Chick
What's wrong with this person?
Bob
She's drunk. Maybe. She said in another post that the contacts were essentially glued together after sitting under the eyelid for A month. Despite the sheer number of contacts in her eye or his eye. Kritiva said her only complaint was that she felt that was something in her eye for about a week. So it was a lady. Kurtiva said it was an opportunity to remind people not to sleep in their contact lenses.
Chick
Yes.
Josh
I wouldn't want to be this lady's proctologist. It'd be like a. Like a clown car. Oh, here we had a couple of sets of dice, ping pong ball.
Chick
I haven't seen this many plugs, ma'am, since I went to that hair transplant.
Josh
I would think that. I mean, how do you forget?
Bob
I never wore contacts. I couldn't do that. I can't stick my finger in my.
Chick
I did wear contacts for years. And I don't know how she did this. You kind of. Oh, I don't.
Josh
Yeah, Boy, I did hear that her vision was 2020. 2020, 20, 20, 20, 20, 2020. Wow. Did this woman have all of her, you know, faculties and grace?
Chick
Is she ancient?
Bob
I don't know. Or maybe she drank a lot and she just gets, you know, got drunk, passed out, forgot.
Josh
Okay, well, now.
Ace
But they're only in one eye, correct? Yeah, like, so she would be good on the left and then just forget.
Josh
No, there are people that only wear the one. Oh, yeah.
Bob
Oh, really?
Josh
Our. What's his name again?
Bob
Producer? Jason.
Josh
No, that's not his name.
Chick
Allen over the shack, I think.
Bob
Just Jason says he only wears one.
Josh
Really?
Ace
You're a weirdo.
Chick
Yeah, you're a real freak. Look, he's tilted, though.
Josh
Didn't he say?
