Trashcam presents playing a game of American backyard football.
Alright guys, I'm team captain. Josh is the other team captain and we're gonna all pick people and we're gonna pick our teams.
Okay, everybody's been picked. So now we're gonna start off and here's what's gonna happen.
No, no, no, shut up. I'm the leader here. I was the captain. I was the captain. So shut up.
But, but, but, but, but, I, I, I brought the football. I should be the team captain.
No, it doesn't matter who brought the football. I'm the captain. I live in this neighborhood.
You don't even live in this neighborhood.
Well, I'm gonna be the quarterback then.
Well, no, I'm the quarterback of this team. I'm the captain and I'm the quarterback.
Anyways, so here's what's gonna happen. Here's what's gonna happen.
So we're gonna just do two hand touch. That's it. No tackling. No nothing.
That's the end zone. That's the other end zone. No kickoffs. Let's play.
So here's what we're gonna do. I want you to run this way and you, Kate's brother,
you're gonna run to the left and then, hey, you, you're gonna run to the right.
All right. None of them. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Nothing. Nothing.
Now we should do the only thing. No, we're not gonna do a turn plate. We're not gonna do a turn plate.
We need to run over here. We need to run over this way. See? Like this.
Hi, I'm Michael and I'm Chris and this is the Donut Barks podcast.
I don't know if you've ever been in one of those American backyard football scrums, but...
Oh yeah, it happens all the time, especially sometimes on Thanksgiving.
We would do that all the time and then, you know, going over to your house.
I remember that. I remember there always be like this one kid that you'd always buck up at you
and they were like, no, I'm the team captain. This is what we're gonna do.
And you'd always have to draw it on the football, the routes that you were gonna run.
You always had to do that.
And it wasn't like actual directions. It was always, you gotta run this way. You gotta run this way.
And there was always an argument of what we should do.
And then the other guys on the other side are like, hurry up. Let's go.
And you're like, shut up or try to do it. Yeah. It's, it's a whole thing. It's a whole experience.
But anyways, welcome to the Dota Box podcast. We're glad to have you here.
And special shout out to our international listeners. Singapore, Brussels, Belgium.
You guys have been doing great.
Also, Frank, Frankfurt, Germany has been doing awesome too.
Yeah, heck yeah. It's crazy that our voices are being heard around the world.
That's pretty nuts.
Where are some of our places domestically, Chris?
We got a new listener in Maine, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, New Mexico.
California has been a good one. Washington, Oregon.
Let me think. Detroit, Michigan, Chicago, Illinois, Ohio.
A lot in the Midwest. We have a lot of good Midwest listeners.
Yeah. We have some Iowa too. I think you said Iowa as well.
But yeah, now we got, we're just growing steadily growing.
It's just crazy to think that somebody people are listening to us, but we're glad that you're here.
And we'll move on to our first segment, which is our old fashioned donut,
which is a story from our past.
And this one's actually from the, I guess, near past or wasn't too long ago.
It's almost a year now, right, Chris?
I think once this episode drops, it'll be just over a year.
Yeah, when we came and saw you guys in San Antonio.
Yeah, it was great.
And yeah, you may remember about a year ago, if you've been listening to the show,
that I've remarked that Chris got engaged.
This was that trip that he came down and got engaged, which was great.
And we can talk a little bit about that. If you want Chris, where did we go and what did we do?
Well, so when we first got there, we did all the touristy stuff, right?
Because my now wife, she had never been to that area.
And so you always got to go to the Alamo. You got to go to the Alamo.
Remember the Alamo. And I remember going in there, I remember I got mad that people did not take their hats off in the Alamo
because there's a sign that says, out of respect for the fallen who gave their lives, please remove your hats.
And people weren't doing that. Maybe, man, I was like, this is sacred ground.
I was like, you don't know the price these people pay so that you can walk in this Alamo.
I got mad. I got fired up.
But then we went to, of course, Ripley's, believe it or not, because it's right across the street and the Wax Museum.
And it was a fun time. And then we met up with a good old Micah and his fiance.
And I guess the girls, whenever the girls get together, they like to go off and do their own thing.
And most of the time just talk mess.
But we went to Arcade, man. It was pretty fun.
There's not a lot of old school arcades around anymore. And this one had a lot of like the old school games.
Yeah, this one was pretty cool. Of course, our favorite is always NFL Blitz.
And if you've ever played NFL Blitz, it's always really, really fun.
The only thing that I would change is, and shout out to Free Play up in Dallas.
I'm giving all this business all the time.
But basically, you can play as much as you want. I mean, within reason. Don't be a jerk.
And you probably heard that story.
But yeah, you can stand there and play NFL Blitz all four quarters.
And unfortunately, at this one, you have to pay for all four quarters.
But other than that, it's really, really fun.
I don't know. Maybe I'm just partial to NFL Blitz. Maybe that's one of my favorite games of all time.
And then Big Buck Hunter. I love Big Buck Hunter.
I love the game. I love the game.
So I was planning on proposing the next day and we had it all planned out.
Micah and his fiance were great. And I was like, okay, this is what's going to happen.
It was kind of like my backyard football thing was like, okay, you're going to go left.
You're going to go right. But they were coming along.
And so we were going to meet them at the Japanese Tea Gardens.
And that's where it was going to happen. I just remember it was really hot.
And we went like at 10 o'clock in the morning. And it was really hot, really humid.
And then I kind of pulled Micah aside. I was like, okay, we're going to kind of do it under the waterfall.
And I was like, okay, just act like you're going to take our picture and then we're going to propose.
And so then I proposed to her under the waterfall.
Of course, she was like, I knew you were going to do it the whole time.
See, women always say, I knew you were going to do it the whole time.
But truth is they don't always know sometimes.
But yeah, so we did that and she accidentally bumped my head and we were like, yeah, we're going to celebrate now.
Which was great. But on the way over to the restaurant that we were going to go to,
I ended up getting a flat tire. And I was like, oh, this is nice because my tire got really, really low.
So we got to the restaurant, we were eating, it was good time.
But I was just like, man, I got to go to the, got to go to Pep Boys, get my tire fixed.
And then you went to Pep Boys up the road. Luckily there was one up the road.
And what they, they put a plug in for you for free, I think, right?
Yeah. I mean, it technically wasn't like they said it was free, but I gave the guy 20 bucks.
You know, I, you know, I talk a lot about faith on here, but I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason, right?
So I firmly believe that we went to that Pep Boys because that guy, when I was talking to him, he was like, man, I'm just struggling.
I'm having a rough time. Like my wife left me and I'm just feeling depressed and like, he was telling me his whole story, right?
And so I was like, man, let me pray for you. Let me give you some money and all that good stuff.
So it all ended up working out. And so then, so there was this nice pool and Micah and his fiance came over and they swam with us.
And we were just sitting around like, you know, it'll be fun. Let's go to a minor league baseball game because they have a minor league team in San Antonio.
Yeah. So then we went to the missions game. The seats were pretty good.
It actually wasn't too hot. I was worried about it being pretty hot.
And the only thing that I know is they were testing the pitch timers that are like big in the MLB now.
And I just remember the game went by like pretty fast because of it.
But yeah, if you're ever there, I don't know, minor league games are really fun.
Like major league games are fun, but minor league games are really fun too.
I think it's because they get the crowd involved. And we got a shout out big mic, man. Big mic was their bat boy.
Yeah. He's their, he was their bat boy. And so the team was just thinking it up.
They were sucking it up. And we, and like big mic was like a big dude.
Like when I say big, like I'd say at least 300 pounds, but this man was hustling getting up.
You know, he was working hard. He was getting the bats, getting the balls.
And I was like, so anytime he came out, we were like, yeah, big mic, we love you, bro.
I guess he was a fan favorite too.
Yeah. A lot of people were cheering for him. I mean, he was hustling.
He had a, he was quite quick on his feet for a big guy. I'll tell you that much.
He was running more than the actual San Antonio missions were running because they couldn't even get on base.
Yeah. It was pretty bad. They were making some like high school mistakes out there.
It was pretty, pretty, I don't know, the hometown was not, not too great that day, but it was still pretty fun.
And so if you watch American baseball, you know that if your team is down and it's like towards the end of the game, right?
You know, you put on a rally cap, which means you turn your hat inside out or you wear it some kind of weird way.
And we, Mike, were doing that and the women that we were with, they were just like, what do y'all do it?
And we were like, it's a rally cap. They're like, you never seen this? They were like, no.
What do you do it before? I was like, it's for good luck. It's for the team.
I just remember there's a, there's a picture of all of us with us wearing our rally caps and all that good stuff.
And it was a good time.
Yeah, it was, it was a really good time. But yeah, so a lot of people I actually do know about rally caps.
Like if you watch an MLB game, like they'll pay in the crowd. And if the team is down, you'll see a bunch of people with their caps inside out and stuff like that.
But I don't know, you will get a bunch of weird looks as well. Like what the heck are you doing?
There's a lot of people that don't know about it too.
Now they say that baseball is America's pastime, but I don't think that statement's true anymore.
I mean, they're, you meet baseball fans, but they're not as many as they used to be.
No. And I'll tell you something that was really weird. The MLB game wise, when we went to that Rangers game, they had, there was people in all sorts of other teams like jerseys and stuff, which was kind of weird.
That weren't playing.
Yeah, the teams weren't even, yeah, the teams weren't even playing it. I guess people are just like, yeah, I'm going to go for my team or I know there are some people that their bucket list is to visit all 30 baseball parties.
In America. And I'm totally cool if you want to do that. I understand that. But there were a lot of people wearing Milwaukee Brewers jerseys and the Brewers weren't even playing it.
So it's kind of weird.
And then like Detroit Tigers was another one. They weren't playing either. But yeah, so good times had by all in San Antonio. If you're going to come visit, it's a pretty cool place.
Yes, it is. It is a very cool place to go visit.
The thing I like about it is that it is a, it's a big city, but it's not like super big like Dallas or Houston. Like it's big enough to have a lot of stuff to do, but it's not so big that you're just like, I hate, I would hate living here.
I hate being here.
Yeah. And also shout out to the planned infrastructure because they have enough major roads to make everything not traffic congested all the time.
But, but yeah. Anyways, any other notes on that before we move on?
No, just visit San Antonio if you get a chance because it has a lot of good history, a lot of rich Hispanic history and Texas.
One more note on that. The last time I was down in the riverwalk and doing one of the riverboat tours, they said something quite interesting.
They said that there was actually evidence that San Antonio was civilized before St. Augustine in Florida because St. Augustine was technically the first settled place in the United States or the oldest like civilized place on the continent.
And they were saying that San Antonio was, but I'm not sure that is.
Of course it is. You know how it is.
San Antonio is part of God's country. That's right. Bless God. San Antonio was here first.
See, just like that. You never know about these things.
And they got created Texas. So that's how I know that San Antonio was here.
Alright, man. Well, let's go over to the jelly donut, which is our jail report.
Who do you think private pile? Sir, jelly donut, sir. A jelly donut.
And it's my week to do the jail report. So we're going to start off with one.
And you're going to like this one. A Louisiana woman was wanted for second degree murder and was apparently unhappy with the photo officials used on social media to help bring her to custody.
So she decided to vent. She got on her own social media and said, quote, that picture ugly.
And she was still at large at the time. So she commented straight on that person's mug or on her mug shot on the Crime Stoppers like Facebook page.
So then the sheriff's office commented back and said, you're always welcome to head over here to the sheriff's office to take a new picture if you want.
You know, the little cheeky police joke there. And so next thing you know, there was a post and she had turned herself in apparently the next day.
Oh, so you're saying that she was still wanted and she commented on her mug shot and then she turned herself in.
I guess she got what she wanted. I thought when you said she was large, I thought she was upset because she was large in the picture or something.
I thought that's what you meant. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. No, no, no, no, at large. She was still at large, like still on the on the loose.
Context is key. Okay.
Yeah, right. No, she wasn't. She wasn't a big lady. She wasn't a big lady. But yeah, apparently she commented straight on that Crime Stoppers Facebook page and was like that picture ugly.
That's literally what she said. Word for word.
That's what that's what the quote says that picture ugly. Three words. You know, Louisiana folks are just a different kind of folk. They're just different breed.
Oh, yeah. All right. So this one's this next one's from the UK. So he escaped from jail and he was living life on the run, of course.
And he got caught because the new Call of Duty came out and he couldn't help himself besides go out and get the new Call of Duty.
So 36 year old alluded police after escaping jail. And the jig was up when he ventured out of hiding to buy a new copy of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War.
And so what ended up happening was the officers observed him and his friends suspiciously changed directions while driving.
And so they pulled him over when they started asking him questions. Of course, they found out who he was.
And when they asked what he was doing, that he literally said, I've come to get the new Call of Duty because I can't just sit around and lock down all day.
You got to say it in a British accent.
Yeah, no.
I've come to get the new Call of Duty because I can't bear to stay in lockdown. I feel like they're so polite, bro.
But here's the thing, dude, like that man didn't put it on pre-order. Should have pre-ordered it for GameStop.
When was this story reported because he couldn't get it online?
2021.
That man could have got that online. He could have got it on his PS4. You should have got your buddy to go get it for you or something, dude. That's dumb.
Yeah, exactly. You better get it shipped to your house, man. Like I mean, come on. You can get that stuff shipped to your house.
All over Coat. Call of Duty.
Now I've got to try the British accent.
I've come to get the new Call of Duty because I can't sit around and lock down all day.
That's pretty good. Let's do it Scottish. I've come to get the new Call of Duty because I can't stay around and lock down all day.
I've come to get the new Call of Duty because I can't sit around and lock down.
I'm sorry, listeners. We're just going off.
That's terrible.
We're practicing. We're practicing. You're lucky we don't do that in the improv segment straight up.
All right. Next person here. You'll think this one's funny as well. It comes from the state of Louisiana again.
A burglar was busted thanks to Cheeto dust on her teeth.
That's great. How did that happen? I want to know the story now.
A woman was busted for home invasion thanks to Cheeto dust found on her teeth.
She was arrested for first degree burglary after allegedly committing a dangerously cheesy act. I don't know who wrote that, but that's funny.
Basically, cops say that they arrived to that home and the thief had already gone.
However, they had found a bag of Cheetos and a water bottle near an open window.
Essentially, what happened was they found that a few seconds later, that lady, the lady who was robbing the place,
emerged from the shadows outside. They chased her and then, of course, they had deeter.
Apparently, she had Cheetos all up in her teeth. That's how they do it with her.
You got Cheeto dusting your teeth.
Okay. I don't know, man. That's just a dumb way to get caught.
Good detective work for them to use their deductive reasoning. That's great.
Great job, Louisiana PD. Anyways, my question is, if you're going to rob somebody's house, why are you going to sit there and eat Cheetos and drink a bottle of water while you're at it?
She was hungry, dude. Leave her alone.
I don't know, man.
Alright. Next one. There's a thief and he was swiping these packaged thieves. What do they call them? Porch bandits, I think that's what they call them, right?
Yeah. That's exactly what they're called.
Well, essentially how this guy was able to get caught, and he'll think this is great. So this person had a ring doorbell camera and as the thief was walking away to his car, his pants fell down, exposing a tattoo on their left buttocks of Mickey Mouse,
the homeowner, because apparently whatever was in this box that this guy stole, apparently it was like $5,000, and apparently when they reported it to the police, they knew exactly who the guy was because he was a repeat offender in their local county jail,
so they were able to track him down all because of his Mickey Mouse tattoo.
Why does he got Mickey Mouse on his butt cheeks, bro? Ah, bro. What if the ears are his butt cheeks?
I don't know. Is that what it is? Like the two ears are his butt cheeks?
No, no. I can see a picture of it. No, it's like... I don't even know what to say to you about that right now.
Nah, man. It's like all Mickey's head and ears are his whole cheeks. Oh, okay. Not even my head. It's only on a singular cheek.
This is one of the... Okay, so his face. His face covers the whole cheek. I got it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty much it's just a one cheek is just Mickey. Is it at least a well done tattoo or is it pretty messed up?
I'll be honest, the picture that I see only half of the cheek, but I can tell enough to tell what's going on.
Well, this is getting interesting. Alright, so next one here. Connecticut woman is arrested for driving drunk twice in one day.
So Connecticut woman, she was arrested for the second time in one day while driving intoxicated, headed to the liquor store shortly after she was arrested for the same crime.
So she bailed out and then got drunk again?
Yeah. It was headed to the liquor store apparently, so she bailed out pretty quick apparently because it said that she was arrested and had gotten out and headed straight to the liquor store after.
Apparently she was still intoxicated partially. And so the first crime that happened, she crashed her 2012 Lexus sedan and then parked the car around 230.
And essentially the police pulled up and they saw damage on the vehicle and there had been a hit and run that was reported as well as them smelling alcohol on her breath. So they did a field sobriety test and she was then arrested with a blood alcohol level of 0.23.
So here's my question. They didn't let her sleep that off first. Like what remind me where is this at?
Connecticut. So they didn't let her, normally they let you, like if you're drunk, they normally let you sleep that off like before they let you get bailed out or something.
You know, that's really weird.
Well, and think about the nature of her crime to this point, right? She's already been in part of a hit and run. She's already blood alcohol of 0.23. So they've taken her in.
And so she was charged with DUI and then she was also charged with possession of a controlled substance because she had a painkiller that was discovered in a purse that wasn't prescribed to her.
But just six hours after she was released, she was headed to the liquor store. The cops pulled her over shortly before she got to the liquor store where her blood alcohol level was still 0.09, which is still above the limit.
Wow, dude. That's like a misstep for sure. Like that is a big misstep because she was three times the legal limit, almost three times. That's, dude, I don't know. That's bad police work.
Yeah, it is. I mean, they should have let her detox that one off, but that's pretty crazy. Twice in one. And she was headed back to the liquor store. She was like, I ain't done.
All right, last story here. You might have heard this one. This one happened just a few years ago. The cops were searching for a man who was part of a viral video about licking Bluebell ice cream that came straight out of a...
Yeah, I'm part of that.
Came straight out of one of those freezers, you know, one of the grocery freezers, and it was in Walmart. And so the viral video about, of course, like I just said, Bluebell ice cream in Walmart and licking the contents.
And then they put it back in the freezer. Like they licked it and then they put it back in the freezer. And so an arrest warrant was put out for this person, 24-year-old Mr. Anderson, who they said posted the social media of himself licking the ice cream.
Walmart surveillance cameras show that Anderson did eventually take the Bluebell out of the freezer and buy it, which wasn't captured on social media.
Basically, Walmart was forced to dump, apparently, all of the Bluebell ice cream because they didn't know for sure. And so essentially, they still arrested him.
And they arrested you for like being a biohazard or like it's something to that nature.
Yeah, the charges were criminal mischief and then misdemeanor criminal mischief, which I don't know what the difference...
I guess one's a felony and one's not, but I thought both were misdemeanors.
Anyways, but it's punishable up to about a year in jail and a $4,000 fine, but it doesn't say what ended up happening.
I don't think anything probably did happen. They probably gave him a fine in probation or something.
But apparently in July of 2019, a 17-year-old girl did the same exact thing.
They did the Bluebell ice cream, licked the container and then put it on Instagram as she put it back on the shelves.
Some of these things, I don't understand why people would be doing some of this stuff.
They do it because it's different and it makes them go viral.
Just like the ice bucket challenge when that was a thing. Everybody was doing that and then people see it and they do it to get.
Regardless of if people like it or not, people are going to watch it because they get enraged at it.
Because it's like, oh, I can't believe she did this. So she's still getting views and reacts and so it's still getting her.
What an interesting time we live in.
We live in a stupid age of TikTok. This isn't what fries my donuts, so I'm not going to go into that.
Well, what we will go into is our next segment, which is the donut hole in Kris.
I've got some questions for you and it's stuff that we like.
It's either or or would you rather and it's all food related stuff.
This is interesting food from around the world and I was going to straight up ask you like, oh, would you eat this?
Most of this food is quite weird and I can hear you say no, no, no.
So I'm just going to say, would you rather eat this or would you rather eat that?
Okay, can we back up though a little bit? My favorite story was the Mickey Mouse butt cheek ears.
That was my favorite from the jail report. I just wanted to put that on the record.
I can't believe they caught him based on that.
Well, if we're going to go back to them.
I'm sorry.
My thing is, and they knew who he was. So apparently, he left his pants sag or something. I don't know.
Anyways, so I'm sorry. Go ahead. I interrupted your donut hole. I apologize.
No worries. No worries. So this is particularly popular. So remember, it's either this or that.
So the first one is chicken feet. So have you heard of chicken feet and either fried or boiled?
And I'm sure you've heard of Haggis from Scotland.
Remind me what Haggis is. I've heard of it, but remind me what it is.
So Haggis is a mixture of sheep's heart, liver, lungs, and it's minced with onions, oatmeal, soot, and it's seasoned with salt and spices cooked inside the animal's stomach.
Okay. I think I would probably eat Haggis because I think I would have a better chance of forgetting what it is.
And there's enough stuff mixed in there that I could probably maybe stop.
Yeah. No, I get that. I get that. And you probably heard of this. It's either 3-pah or 3-pahs. Have you heard of?
Oh yeah, I've heard of that.
So essentially what we've got is, and for those of you who don't know, it's essentially the stomach lining of various animals.
Most of the time here in the United States, it's pig intestines or pig stomach.
And so essentially what it is is, I don't know, either put it in a soup with a lot of spices and basically gets soaked up into all that good jazz.
Sometimes it's like onions and different things like that. It has an interesting smell to it. I'll put you that way.
So either that or something called cash, which is a Middle Eastern, which I'll explain what it is.
So it's made up of stewed cows feet and head. It's a comfort food and now it's considered delicacy.
Essentially what it is is, it's essentially the entire stewed cow's head, like stripped of its skin and meat and like a soup.
Is the eye still in there?
Yes.
Dude, I don't know, man.
Because at one point I don't really want to eat the pig intestines, but I don't want to eat cow's head with.
I guess I'll go with treat bus.
See, this is where it gets hard, right? It's all going to be interesting stuff.
Alright, so now we're getting into some Japanese stuff.
Japan has tuna eyeballs and it's just what it sounds like, the eyes of tuna and they're served raw.
So we're black pudding, which is essentially blood sausage. So it's sausage and essentially in a blood sauce, if that makes sense.
Like it's blood and other parts of the animals melded down into a sauce.
Dude, I can't eat any eyeballs or nothing. I can't do that. So I guess I'm going with blood sauce. I don't know. Both of it's sick.
I got you. Hopefully it gets a little better for you here.
This one's a familiar one here. I don't know if you like spam.
Spam is here in the United States. It's canned meat. It's essentially just a variation of chicken, beef, and I think pork meat all mashed into kind of a loaf, if that makes sense.
And then the next one is kind of an interesting one. It kind of goes weirdly off on the different spectrum here.
It's called, and for those of you in Iceland, I'm sorry if I messed this up, hakarl. And essentially what it is, is it's the rotten carcass of the Greenland shark.
And it's buried underground in the shallow pit and pressed with stones because it's poisonous internal fluids that allow it to live in such cold waters need to be drained out.
So it's drained for about six months, but it smells like ammonia once it's done. However, it tastes very strong and fishy, but apparently it is a delicacy around the world.
Why would I eat that? There's nothing appetizing or peeling that makes me even want to try that. So the first one, what was the first one?
Spam.
Oh yeah, spam all the way, dude. I'm frying spam. I'm doing whatever. I ain't, no, I'm not eating that nasty rotten carcass of a shark.
Do you like spam? Like, do you actually like spam?
No, I really don't care for spam.
This is an interesting game, isn't it? Did you know this was a thing? I did not know until I read about this. This was a thing.
And apparently in China, there's something that is known as a 100 year old egg. And apparently it is truly 100 years old and it's preserved with a mixture of clay.
And pretty much it's turned from ash and quick lime and basically brings it back to life, essentially.
And the egg yolk turns dark green or even black with shiny white exterior that almost looks like a translucent jelly and smells kind of like ammonia, but it tastes just like an egg.
But it is over 100 years old and apparently it is extremely expensive.
Would you eat the 100 year old egg or would you eat what is called stink heads, which is from Alaska?
In Alaska, it's the fermented head of a king salmon with the eyes out, no eyes, but it's of the salmon.
It's buried underground for a few weeks until pretty much everything's tender then they cook it.
Neither of them, I'm not going to eat either because they both sound disgusting, but I hate eggs.
I hate eggs and the fact of eating a nasty 100 year old black egg.
Who thinks of these ways to eat these? Who thinks of that? Like, you've got to be sick.
And people are like, oh yeah, that's a jealousy. No, you're stupid. You're sick is what you want.
And you know how much for one singular egg it's going for $3,500.
You've got to be kidding me. $3,500? Heck, no, bro. People are crazy.
So we only got a few left here. How do you feel about bugs, Chris? They're like roasted.
They're dead, but like roasted bugs.
Okay, so the next two choices is ones from Thailand. It's called Jing Lied and they're giant, they're big grasshoppers.
Typically they are fried in a ginormous wok so that they are hollow.
Apparently they're a lot like popcorn when you eat it, with flavoring.
And then in Japan, on the island of Japan, they have wasp crackers.
They're crackers, essentially what it is, this is a biscuit or a cracker.
And instead of chocolate chip cookies, wasp with the, essentially with the stingers removed.
So it's just they're been roasted and they're putting a cracker.
I think I'm going to go with the grasshoppers, man. Both of those don't sound too bad.
I think I'd try both of them. I'd try them at least once.
Yeah, to me, I've had grasshoppers and I've had those roasted little grubworms and stuff.
If you put seasoning on them, I mean, roasted, they're pretty good.
Now, live, I don't know about live, but good protein.
So last couple here, we have in Cambodia, they do what is known as a fried spider.
And it's apparently known to a particular town as their delicacy.
And essentially they marinate in soy sauce, sugar and salt and then fry it in garlic.
And then apparently it has more meat than the grasshopper.
But the only bad part about it is apparently when you eat certain parts of it,
there is a brown sludge that comes out of the abdomen.
And so most people like to cut out the middle bits of it, but the rest are crunchy like the grasshopper.
Or would you rather have the grubworm, and this particular one comes from Australia,
and it's called the Wichiti Grub.
That just sounds Australian. Wichiti Grub.
I might be going to put a Wichiti Grub on the barbie.
Pretty much. And it's part of the Australian bushmeat family, as it probably sounds there.
And it was a staple of indigenous Australians in the desert.
It can either be eaten raw, which tastes like almonds, or it can be lightly cooked.
You can crisp it and then taste like roast chicken.
I'm going with the bushmeat. You're going with the Wichiti Grub.
Yeah, that sounds more appealing than having to cut whatever sludge out of whatever it was.
And I don't like spiders anyway. You eat spiders? I don't know. I'm not.
But yeah man, so there you go. There's your donut hole.
So I guess that brings us to our next segment, which is what fries my donut.
Chris, what's got you fried up buddy?
Oh buddy, you can bet that I got something and this is not like super specific.
It's not like people who drive red cars with a white tail light.
No, that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about people that they want to move from where they're living
because where they're living is so bad they want to move somewhere else.
But they want to move there to build a better life,
but they want to have their ideologies the same at that place.
And they're like, oh, I'll give you a prime example.
There are a lot of Californians moving to Texas and they'll be like, oh yeah,
well we don't like what Texas stands for.
We don't like the way Texas is doing things.
But we like your economy and we like that you have jobs and we like that it's a better way of life.
And it's like there's a reason why you left your way of life.
There's a reason why you left the state that you came from.
Same thing has happened in Florida.
You got a whole bunch of New York people that are moving down to Florida and being like,
oh yeah, it's great down here except we don't really agree with the way that you're doing things.
And all that good stuff.
It's okay if you want to move here to find a better life for yourself,
but don't enforce your views on us.
That's all I'm saying.
Texas is good.
Texas has been great.
And so I'm like, Texas is Texas and the economy is doing so well for a reason.
I think it all boils down to is I don't like just ideas and agendas being shoved down my throat.
I really don't.
I'm sick of that happening.
And it's like I have to be, I have to accept your idea and agree with it in order to be tolerant.
No, I can hear you out and I can treat you as a human being and that's me being tolerant,
but I don't have to agree on your ideals and beliefs.
So all I have to say is if you're moving from California to Texas or you're moving somewhere from another state,
realize that that state is going to be different and each state has a different view.
It's not like I'm going to Seattle, Washington and trying to impose Texas views on Seattle, Washington.
Like it's just not going to work.
It's like we're going to go up to Washington state and be like, you know what, start passing out the rifles, boys.
The NRA is moving in.
It's like, nah, I don't think so.
But I get what you're saying.
I think part of it is the fact that opinions are tough to be had nowadays.
It's either you have to conform to what the large media and what a lot of people are saying is the quote unquote right way.
And there's not a lot of variance of what that opinion can be.
I feel like that's part of the problem.
But yeah, man, I just think that it's just crazy to me that all these people are moving here.
When you were started talking, I was like, oh, you're talking about Austin.
I used to live in Austin, Texas.
I know.
And even the last few years, I mean, heck, even 10, not even 10 years ago,
six, seven years ago versus now it's a completely different place, like it's a completely different place.
The ideals are different.
I'll even put it to this way.
The bad part and what Chris is talking about is a lot of these people are moving in.
And the model of Austin used to be keep Austin weird and keep Austin and it still technically is.
But I feel like that model is kind of lost its luster because it used to be that was because it was a small hippie-dippy town
and it was, okay, keep Austin itself, keep the big corporations out, keep all these things from happening, all that sort of thing.
Keep it hippie-dippy Texas like we had it.
And then next thing you know, they're ginormous corporations.
I mean, the skyline is just booming right now.
At the same time, it is still hippie-dippy quote unquote, but it's become corporate hippie-dippy if that makes sense.
And so it's a weird different thing and it's not very good.
It's not great and the ideals are just kind of whack, to be honest.
And here's the thing.
The people that preach tolerance the most are the most intolerant people that I have ever seen because these people that are like,
yeah, you need to be tolerant of other people, but as soon as you disagree with them, they're like, well, you're just, you're just a bigot.
You're just this and you're just that.
You need to, it's like either you conform to our ways or we cancel you and we shut you down.
And it's like there's no room for discussion or opinion or nothing.
And it's like, bro, like I don't want your agenda shut down.
I don't like that.
Like, it doesn't matter what it is.
Even if you're like a salesperson and you're trying to shove something in my face or show, it makes me less inclined to buy it.
Makes me less inclined to hear you if you're trying to shove an agenda or an idea in my face.
Like I'm not about it.
And maybe it's just because I'm like pretty rooted in my morals and what I believe in, but I'm like open to treating people as human beings.
And it's like there are some of my, you know, friends that I consider like, yeah, I'm pretty cool friends with this person.
I don't agree with everything they believe in at all, but we're still friends and we have discussions about it.
And it ends in like a good bit like, huh, that's a good point.
You bring up a valid point or hey, I see where you're coming from, but you know what?
I just don't agree with you and we leave it at that.
Then we go on to talking about something else or doing, you can be friends with people that you don't agree with.
In fact, it's, it's actually natural that we're not going to agree with everything.
Chris and I don't agree on everything, you know, nobody's going to agree on everything.
Nothing's ever going to be a perfect situation, but it's just, I don't know, I think it's dumb that it's, you have to conform to a singular way almost.
Or like Chris said, you're canceled or you're the problem.
They make it like you're the problem.
It's like, why do I have to be the problem?
Why can't I, why can't I just think the way that I think?
Exactly. And then it's like the minute you bring up what you believe and it's like, oh, well, that's wrong.
Oh, you're not being tolerant. It's like, no, I just brought up a different way of thinking.
Can we not like think differently?
Can we not have different ways of viewing stuff?
Like I just don't get why that's not, hey, accept it.
I don't get that.
And again, not get angry at it.
Like why do you got to get angry at it?
I mean, it doesn't, we can all be adults about things.
And I just think that it really shows how divided a lot of people are and how rooted they are of like, I'm right and everybody else is wrong.
And so everybody just has to fight that crap.
I don't understand.
But anyways, I totally get what you're saying.
One last example.
I've seen videos of this and it's like people that are sitting in their cars eating chicken and like these vegans will come up to the window and they'll yell at them.
They'll be like, you're doing such a wrong thing.
Like you are murderer.
You're doing this and that.
And it's like, dude, I was literally in mind in my own business.
Like why do you take it on the knee to like come bother me just because I decided that I'm not going to be a vegetarian?
And because you know what the messed up part is if they're over there in their vegan restaurant and I go over there with Chicken Express and walk in the door and start eating on some chicken, they're going to be really, really, really offended.
They're going to be really hurt.
They're going to be like, get out.
They're probably going to call the cops on me or something.
I don't, I don't know, but they would be extremely offended.
It's like, so why can't we get mad?
Because when that person gets mad, it's like, oh, well, you're not allowing them to have their voice and you're not being tolerant.
It's like, hold on.
What are you talking about?
Why can't I eat chicken in peace without people running up to me and yelling in my face and telling me that I'm wrong for it?
That's not cool.
It's like, you know, what if I think you're wrong for not eating chicken?
It's like, but I don't come up to you to say that.
Bottom line is, if you're moving to another state, just know that they're going to have different ideologies.
And so if you don't agree with that, don't move there.
And that's all I'll leave it at.
And just let everybody live.
Just let everybody live.
Everybody's going to do their own thing.
Who the heck cares?
As long as it's not really affecting you.
So I think we're going to segue into our next segment, which is our Mystery Donut.
That's our improv segment.
What do we got, buddy?
We got free improv.
So let's go ahead and pull out an accent and then a scenario from the head.
All right.
So the first thing is the accent.
We've never done this one before.
We've done old men, but we've never done old women.
And I don't know.
I've heard a lot of old women go back and forth.
So that's going to be interesting, but we got to do a location now.
Oh, let's see.
Let me draw out.
Okay.
At a bake sale.
Oh, that's great.
How fitting.
It falls right in line.
That falls right in line.
Yes, it does.
All right.
You want me to start it off for you guys?
I could start it off.
Now, Violet, I'm just so glad that you brought your brownies, my daughter-in-law Sharon.
She could learn a thing or two from you because I tell you that girl, she must not ever touch
us, spoon or a spatula.
I don't think she even knows what a kitchen is.
I can't quite hear you.
What is your happiness last night, Gladys?
I lost my teeth and I didn't end up getting a replacement this morning.
So I put my hearing aids in and I'm having a hard time talking to you.
Oh, Sharon.
Sharon, you know what my grandson Chase did the other day?
He did the funniest thing.
We were all sitting around at the table and he said, Beemaw, look at me.
I'm a pirate and he just put a little pirate patch on.
That's our little Chase.
He's just so funny always making us laugh.
Why do we always have to talk about your little grandson?
Every time you want to talk, it's always about the grandson.
Well, everyone knows my grandson.
Oh, I can't do that.
Oh, screw it.
Everyone knows my grandson's dead and you want to bring your little precious
grandchildren up in front of me.
You stupid sons of...
Oh, Sharon, you know that you are just so bitter because Gregory did not ask you out
to the Sark Hop.
He did not ask you out in 1955 and now you're just all that bitter.
I tell you something.
Next thing we have, we need to have girls night.
We need to go out.
We need to get nails done.
We need to slap around some men, call them little girls.
That's what we need.
We need good night all together, all as ladies.
I tell you, you're all jacking around here.
I'm so sick of y'all.
Y'all must not go through menopause yet because y'all all cycling up.
I'm crying like you're on a rat.
Now, I just think and that's not fair.
I think that...
Oh, God, I think my heart's about to go.
Well, I'll see you ladies later.
I got to go ahead and take these cakes to Pastor William so that we can sell them for the
bake sale.
I'll make sure that I invite you guys to my grandson, Gregory's piano reticital.
It's at three o'clock at the Susan B. Anthony Hall at the George C. Wilkins Middle School.
Make sure y'all come because he's really nervous and he just needs all of our prayer
warriors to get together and pray for him.
You know that we'll be there with bells on.
That sounded like a man that showed up.
I'm sorry.
That was B. Arthur that showed up.
B. Arthur?
That's Aunt B.
Is it that?
No, no.
B. Arthur is Golden Girls.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know.
I always thought she was a man, bro, to be honest with you.
Man, this episode has gotten...
This is great.
This episode has been fantastic.
All right, man.
Well, speaking of, we're moving on to our positive advice.
That's our E-Clear donut.
So, Chris, I think I started it last week.
So go ahead and...
Yeah, I was like, last week we didn't really do the same normal flow.
We kind of did it different way.
But anyways, mine is, and I know we said this before, but just trust your gut.
If you know, hey, this is the way that I need to do something,
or I should have done it this way to begin with.
Dude, I have learned that lesson so many times this week.
It's like, I was having ideas of doing stuff for camp,
and most of it was making craft or setting something up.
And then I had these other people like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You need to do it this way.
So I listened to these people, and they were like,
so this week I was trying to make a prop vault door, right?
And I had an idea of how I wanted to make it,
and I was telling someone, and they were like, no, no, no, no, no.
You want to do it this way.
You want to take a pool noodle and wrap it with this duct taping,
so it makes it look this way, and this is the way to do it.
And this person is probably pretty good at arts and crafts,
so I listened to them, and then it just did not turn out the way that it was supposed to.
So I went back to doing it my way that I should have done in the first place,
and it took me a whole lot less time.
And I had literally spent three hours making this thing,
and I was like, I should have just done it the way that I knew how to do it in the first part.
So I second guessed myself because someone else was like, no, no, no, no, no,
you need to do it this way.
So when you second guess yourself, man, you make mistakes and you cost more time.
So if you're like in your heart of hearts, if you know how to do something,
you're like, yeah, I should have done it this way to begin with.
You save yourself so much more time.
So I hope that makes sense.
Yeah, heck yeah.
Sometimes it's hard.
Essentially what you're saying is trust your gut,
and what your gut tells you to do, that's what you should go with most of the time.
I've gone through that a ton.
But Jam Man, so mine this week is, it's someone on the same page,
but if it's out of your control, then don't stress about it.
And that's really, really hard, and it's really, really, really hard.
And it's easier when you see other people going through it, right?
Like my fiance, I'll give you a little insight here.
So somebody from their work basically like HR was like,
oh, we need to talk to you about something,
but kind of made it really, really vague.
And she was worrying about, oh, you know,
well, I get in trouble.
Is it something that I did, things like that?
But it was a whole week until she was going to find out.
You know, the biggest thing is you only know what you know.
It's really easy to get swept up into the,
oh, I can get in trouble in all the what ifs of what's going on.
But until you get into that moment,
you don't actually know what's going on.
And in that case, most, you know, I told her probably what's happening.
It's probably about somebody else and they're trying to gather information.
If it was about you, they have to disclose a lot more information.
And there's a lot more stuff, but it's really easy to get swept up into those.
Oh, what if, what if this happens?
What if this happens?
What if it's about this one thing that could be that maybe somebody took this the wrong way,
or you know, something along those lines.
And all I'm saying is it's really easy to get swept up into that,
but don't stress about those things until there's something to stress about.
Don't stress about the car because it's making a noise
if it doesn't have the check engine light on.
You know what I mean?
Like, I mean, it's just, it is what it is.
It is what it is.
Some things just happen sometimes.
And some things, sometimes things just need to work through some,
but you give what I'm saying.
Yep, let go, let go and let God.
That's basically what you're saying.
Yeah, pretty much, pretty much.
But yeah, man, so TV trash can dot com, TV trash can dot com.
Go like us and subscribe on YouTube, to Facebook, to Instagram,
weighing on the Twitter.
So, but you know how all that goes.
Go follow us on Spotify.
However you may be listening, we do appreciate it.
So yeah, man, you got anything to add before we take this donut box to the trash?
Yeah, man, this is, this episode will be our 80th episode altogether.
We're only 20 away from 100.
Woohoo!
That's pretty crazy because once we get to 100,
that means we'll be close to almost season three at that point.
Yeah, it'll be great.
So yeah, we love you guys.
Have a great week.
Hey, it's the start of summer for some people and it's great.
Summer is upon us.
So yeah, we're going to take this donut box out to the trash.
I'm Mike, I'm Chris, and this has been the donut box podcast.
Mickey Mouse, but cheek tattoo.
