Here's your host,
Todd Alba.
Across Wisconsin on the Civic Media radio network and streaming worldwide on the Civic Media app.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Todd Alba here on location in Shawna, Wisconsin, along with Parker Olson on the board.
doing the production and engineering back at the World Headquarters of Madison filling in for Aaron Zommerz, who is on a well earned vacation.
It is a TGIF Friday, August 8th, 2025.
It is a great day to be Wisconsinite.
Welcome into hour two.
Everybody glad to have you along.
I apologize.
The voice still a bit raspy, but the the tea is helping.
Parker the the Rishi tea with the with the gentle breeze honey from beautiful Dane County.
How about that from Mount Horrib?
Very nice and the rosebud.
I believe you said isn't
it?
It's rosebud lemon.
I don't know.
I wouldn't drink
roses
It sounds 2D fruity, but it's actually, I think it's the ginger, the ginger and the lemon and it's mild, which I like.
The ginger gives it a little bit of, you know, a little bit of a snap in there.
Right.
It kind of, it helps kind of clear the throat.
So anyway, I apologize.
The raspy voice will continue on.
We'll, we'll soldier on Parker, but glad to have you along.
Of course, Parker is the wonderful producer engineer of mornings of Pat Crite low every morning from six until nine AM.
So he's been up for, he's put in a full day and then some.
So Parker, we appreciate you being.
here today and Monday while Xamarin's takes some well-earned time off.
Glad to have you along in the broadcast.
Oh, thank you.
Anything for you, Todd.
You're too kind.
You're too kind.
By the way, in hour two here, don't miss out on your opportunity because I know a lot of people are caught up in brewer fever.
As am I, I have my Bob Uker Milwaukee jersey on here today.
because the number one, the Brewers are back in action in Milwaukee at Amfam Field tonight against the New York Mets.
I believe the Mets have lost eight out of nine.
They're in a slump.
Of course, they've got that huge payroll out there with the former Brewers GM in charge out in New York, not working out so far, but I better not get too catty because we don't want them to catch fire now, but the Brewers are going to try to continue their own winning streak tonight.
just after seven o'clock pregame show, just after 6.30 on many of these stations on the Brewers radio network, including WRJN and Racine Kenosha, WISS in Oshkosh, WRCE in Richland Center, and WBZH the Buzz of the North, and I believe WCQM up in beautiful Park Falls, home of Darla and Big G.
and Greg and all those fine people up there at Park Falls in beautiful northern Wisconsin.
Listen to the brewers tonight.
Here's the deal.
If you wanted on some extra action.
if you want to actually go see the brewers we've got you covered on that as well download the civic media app right now if you don't have it it's free open it up the civic media app first 11 stations or so are the ones that we're on click on one of those closest to you in the lower right hand corner it'll say text click on that and now text the word brew bre w brew right now on the civic media app if you're
correctly spelled entry.
is pulled by the computer at the end of four o'clock hour at four o'clock.
You'll be on your way to see the Brewers.
You and three of your favorite friends, family, neighbors, whoever.
Four tickets in total.
Four tickets for next Wednesday's game, August 13th against the Pittsburgh Pirates at 1.10 in the afternoon.
Again, to enter, text the word brew, B-R-E-W, right now for those four Brewer tickets for next Wednesday.
August 13th in the afternoon.
Well, 110 cannot change them, exchange them for the different games.
So gotta be able to go, but.
Absolutely.
Have you been down to it?
Yeah, you've been to a game, right, Parker?
I had been to a game.
I did.
I was thinking when you were saying you could bring some of your favorite friends
to the
game.
I also thought, you know, you could.
Well, you could bring me.
I wouldn't.
I probably wouldn't say no.
You could bring me.
But I was thinking you could just bring a random guy.
I just saw a guy shirtless on a skateboard going down the street.
I thought
let's turn on the street cam, the Sam Davidson street cam with the old world headquarters in downtown Madison.
Look at that, Parker.
Now there is a road close sign in the 100 block of State Street there at Fairchild.
Is there an accident?
Is there an event?
What's going on Parker?
Do we know?
I am unsure I will get on the ground shortly and I will give you a live report from the street momentarily.
But there were topless people you're telling me on State Street.
I want to go.
At least one
of them.
Perhaps two.
They tend to travel in packs
from what I understand.
Topless Madisonians traveling impacts.
You heard it here from Parker Olson.
All right, very good.
Appreciate that Parker.
Nicely, nicely done.
Zommer is on vacation.
He'll be back on Tuesday.
11 minutes now past the hour of three o'clock.
Want to get one more serious story out here at least before we have a little bit more fun.
Again, back to the FBI.
According to CBS News, Director Cash Patel has agreed to aid the search.
for the Texas Democratic lawmakers who left the state to protect new congressional, to protest, I should say, new congressional maps according to U.S.
Senator John Cornyn yesterday.
Now, Texas Republicans have been trying to bring back Democrats in the state legislature so that there's enough lawmakers on the floor for a quorum, which would enable them to vote on new congressional maps likely to increase the Republican advantage in the state.
Texas requires two-thirds of the House or 100 of the 150 representatives to be present for a quorum.
Now, it's unclear, according to CBS, what the law, what laws the legislators might have broken that would involve the FBI.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott Republican has called for civil arrest.
and said he ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to force them to return.
But Texas DPS does not have jurisdiction outside the state.
Abbott and Cornyn have raised allegations, allegations, the key word here.
of bribery since the lawmakers' quorum break has been funded by donations from various groups, including the former Texas Representative, Betel O'Rourke's PAC, who is a Democrat, and other Democratic groups.
In addition to travel expenses, each Democrat faces a fine of $500 a day.
Abbott last month called for a 30-day special session with 18 agenda items, including embarking on a rare mid-day
decade redistricting ordered by President Trump.
Texas has 38 representatives in Congress, 25 Republican and 13 Democrats.
Mr. Trump asked Texas Republicans to redraw the congressional maps to deliver him five more Republican seats.
Again, it's just, you know, the first hour we had the story that once again, there's a purging going on in the FBI of longtime lifelong agents.
who have the audacity to prosecute uh people who are in the part of the january 6 insurrection insurrectionists and now they're trying to use the fbi to go after state lawmakers democrats from texas who are saying wait a minute maybe we shouldn't use our partisan gerrymandering abstractly just to give donald trump five more republican seats uh disturbing
Certainly to to say the least and just when you think things couldn't get wilder and wackier and then in the words of Johnny Carson Here's a headline for you from the Los Angeles Times Trump Names himself chair of LA Olympics task force and sees a role for the military during the game.
I cannot make this up Dateline Washington
In past Olympic games held on American soil sitting presidents have served in passive ceremonial roles President Trump may have other plans an executive order signed by Trump on Tuesday names him chair of a White House task force for the 2028 games in Los Angeles Viewed by the president as a quote premiere opportunity to showcase American exceptionalism on quote according to a White House statement
Trump the administration said is quote taking every opportunity to showcase America's greatness on the world stage Unquote at the White House speaking in front of banners adding the presidential seal to the logo for LA 28 Trump said he would send the military back to Los Angeles if he show shall chooses in order to protect the games
In June, Trump set the National Guard and U.S.
Marines to the city amid widespread immigration enforcement actions despite widespread condemnation by Mayor Karen Bass and other local officials.
Nobody loves the Olympics more than me.
I think it's a great opportunity to showcase peace and international diplomacy.
But I'm telling you if Trump is gonna try to use this as some sort of extra immigration Roundup of the immigration.
I would not blame countries for boycotting and really I think the International Olympic Committee has to look at this and say look Do we really want to have the United States host this?
I mean already some of the games are gonna be played in Canada and Mexico The United States is just the main host I I think that the the only IOC should look at this and say hey
Do we really want it?
I mean all right.
We have this story.
What was it last week?
I think The world the little league World Series the team from Venezuela that earned the right these are kids for goodness sake Earned the right to come to the little league World Series in the United States Trump's administration would not give them visas And so the second place Latin American team from Mexico went instead I Mean using your political stance
and taking it out on on sports athletes, let alone kids.
I don't know.
It's going to be something to watch.
Eight down, make it 17 past the hour of three o'clock.
Time once again to play what's worse.
Let's go
Parker.
Time once again for what's worse no prize money involved nothing to give away But it is your chance to have your voice heard across all ten new sports and talk stations in the civic media radio network Alright after a couple of those news headlines this one is timely timely indeed.
It's the great Mike Lucas is fond of saying category today Parker stomach ache or headache What's worse stomach ache or headache?
8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2 8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2 or you can text us on the Civic Media app or of course on the various places we play out on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and the like.
What's worse?
Stomachache or headache 8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2.
I mean, it all depends for me Parker.
I don't know about for
you.
I will say, I get a ton more headaches than I get stomach aches.
I don't really remember the last stomach ache.
Do you get migraines?
Not that bad, but very, very frequent headaches.
I have a headache currently.
Do you really?
Yeah.
I took antibiotics before we came on here.
I am giving poor Parker a headache.
No, no, no.
It was before.
It was Critewell.
Oh, Lordy, I'm sorry for that.
Are you one of these people?
Do you use Tylenol?
Do you use ibuprofen?
Do you just let it go on its own?
Do you take a hot bath?
What do you do for a headache?
I just take some Advil and then kind of hope.
Fingers crossed, yeah.
Because I mean, some people have like migraines and that's nothing to laugh about.
That's crazy stuff.
Yeah, no, that's bad.
Yeah, Sydney listening in on Wausau on WXCLA our beautiful station over there in Wausau Just down the road here on highway 29 says if it's just an actual stomach ache I think a headache would be worse if it's a migraine then that's worse if it's a lower GI issue then that would be worse So it depends on where and how bad each of them are well said what's worse stomach aches or headaches 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 will take your phone calls at
After this, we're live on location

You can also text us on the Civic Media app and hit us up on the socials YouTube, Facebook and Twitter as well.
A shout out from Speaking of Wausau.
just down from on highway 29 here listing on WXCL and was on mark schneider says hello he listens on WXCL we appreciate that mark also uh megan checking in in some prairie on WMDX says if we're talking the garden variety of headaches and stomach aches then stomach aches are worse i can ignore a headache to some degree but stomach stuff
Not so much.
I think it's a good point, Parker, because if you get into the gastrointestinal tract stuff, not to be too graphic, then it's a whole other kettle of fish.
That seems very uncomfortable.
I will say, I
feel
like a stomach ache can get more uncomfortable than a headache.
Yes.
I think so.
I would agree with that.
Tyler listing in Columbia County on WMDX says I can sleep off a headache, a stomach ache, however.
I can't move without issues.
All right.
Uh, Carla listing in Madison on WMDX says a stomach ache is worse.
What's worse stomach ache or headache 855-752-4842 855-752-4842 or you can text us on the app or on the socials as well.
Joseph.
Watching this on YouTube.
Good afternoon Joseph.
We appreciate you tuning in says for me a headache is worse It hits harder more difficult to treat mitigate stomach ache equals usually heartburn and turns and oh and Tums Tums to the trick.
Let's see.
I remember back my grandma all the farmers Joyce had a big bottle of rollades
on the uh in the in the cabinet just chew on some rolades you know so sometimes you know the rolades or or tom's could do the trick but then other times it can't pj watching on uh youtube as well says i'll have to say a stomach ache is worse because i rarely get headaches unless i'm dealing with it says unless i'm dealing with republican then a headache is worse
Is that the truth?
Politics can often give people headaches, and maybe even stomachaches as well.
What's worse headaches or stomachache or a headache 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Ollie listing in in the Northwoods.
Ollie were right on the border of the Northwoods here at highway 29 in shuttle.
Stomachache or headache.
Ollie, what's worse?
Well, stomachache if it.
occurs shortly after eating at your favorite restaurant could be much worse.
Because then you have to find a new restaurant.
Isn't that the truth, right?
Because off, I mean, Ali, let me ask you this, and I'm not asking for names here.
We don't want to disparage you.
But you have a restaurant that you like to
go to.
But you have a restaurant you like to go to, and you're like, I love the food there, but I always get a little sick afterwards.
No, I don't.
I've had that happen before and I don't know whether there's the spices I don't know there's other things but it's like it tastes so good when I sit down and eat but I know I've got to go home and sit in the throne afterwards and that's no good at all
Well, that's why I deliberately left off any names because you don't want to hurt
anybody.
We'll protect the guilty.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
I'll have a great weekend up there in the Northwood.
We appreciate you.
Thank you.
Parker you rather happen where you know it's like I love eating there but once in a while when I eat there things don't end well.
Once in a while you just have too many ribs from famous Dave's and they're not happy.
Your
stomach is just
going hey man that wasn't nice of you.
And sometimes you're right sometimes it's just
your own fault when you just gorge yourself, or at least I do sometimes.
Once worse, stomach ache or headache, 8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2.
Chris, listening in some prairie on WMDX, says if we're talking the extremes, a migraine is definitely the worst.
It can lead you to having a sick stomach, but I've never had a stomach ache lead to a headache.
Now that's a good point.
Parker, maybe I asked you this already, but migraines are you a migraine guy or never really had those?
Not quite that bad.
I get a lot of headaches and kind of bad ones, but I don't think that bad of them.
I had a friend in high school that would need to go to another Roman way down for a while because she was getting migraines all the time.
I've had some mild.
If I could use the term mild migraines, a handful of times in my life, but I know people that have debilitating migraines where they have to go to a dark room and just lay there and they get sick to their stomach and they just, I mean, they can't do anything for a day.
Yeah, that's just no fun.
That's not fun at all.
All right, Parker.
Parker, also I ask you, stomachache or headache, what's worse?
I'm gonna say, oddly enough, I'm gonna say stomachache, I think.
I get more headaches, but I think stomachaches might be worse because it usually comes, it tells myself that I shouldn't have had that whole bag of gummy worms that I've been eating all day.
Yeah, I will, I'll go along with that.
I'll say stomachaches are worse because of the things you said, others that too often lead to other things.
And I haven't had a gummy worm or a sour patch.
The last time I had a sour patch kid, two years ago, I lost a crown.
Yeah, no more sour patch kids for Todd.
All right, come on back.
Peter Rapine, news of the weird, wacky and wild, a week review is next.

Peter, how are you?
I'm
doing great,
Todd.
It's
like very excited because we have we have a Parker filling in for Zomers today.
And now we got Peter Rapine.
So somehow we've brought the universe together.
And for the first time in the all ball show, we have Peter Parker.
Excellent.
Excellent.
Do you get this to Peter every time that you meet somebody, they go, Peter Parker.
No,
I don't.
No,
just me?
Okay, cool.
But see, if you were together, like going to bars or whatever, it was Peter Parker.
That would be a fantastic duo.
Well, it's great to see a Tony Won YouTube says my senses are tingling.
There you go.
So Peter, you're fresh back.
You've been to Vancouver.
We always love an update because you're very open.
We love this about you.
You've been seeing a significant other in Vancouver and you just got back to New York.
Yes, I just landed back in New York on Tuesday.
And yeah, I'm sort of excited to be back.
Obviously, you know, my parents are now in town, so we can see them.
But sad, sad to leave.
Also sad to be back in America.
In some sense, Canada was nice.
Canada was really great to me.
And I have a funny story.
My reception back into the office was a cold one this week.
Back in the office, first day in a month, and I had a sandwich in the refrigerator that we all share, and I had my name on it.
Peter written in Sharpie on a post-it note stuck right on top of it and lunchtime came around and I'm hungry I'm excited to eat it and I walk in and I pull it out and there's only half of the sandwich remaining.
My name is still on the post-it note it's still stuck to it but someone someone and I'm gonna find out who
Decided to eat half of my sandwich and I'm still kind of upset
Who who how big of office is it in e-bombs world in New York City?
How many people are we talking about?
What's the pool of
suspects part of Peter on on a full day?
Maybe like 30 people 35 in total, but this was yesterday and there were only like seven people there
No, the pool is small and I am going to track you down and I'm going to get that half of my sandwich back and I will find you.
I know.
So maybe I should go back to Vancouver.
Maybe I'm
not welcome in New York.
No.
Now, who wouldn't be well?
Who would not want to welcome you, Peter?
Come on.
I mean, I think it's just some
schmuck who's who's messing with you.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, maybe they were.
Yeah.
But you don't need that.
You don't need that.
You're
Peter Rampine.
You could be back in Vancouver.
Exactly.
Eating a whole sandwich.
Eating a whole sandwich.
I'm Peter.
I hope you get to the bottom of it and we'll wait with beta breath and nervous anticipation for two weeks until we can find out what happened.
So
next week I'm going to show up with a more disgusting sandwich every day.
Yes.
Maybe
put like a camera in the refrigerator and see who's taking the sandwich.
All right, Peter, well, now you're kind enough to join us.
You and the wonderful staff out there at E-bombs World, you search the headlines and this is not fiction.
This is not things that are made up.
You find real wacky behavior of real wacky humans.
Yes.
I'd like to say that we're funny, but we're not this funny.
And I want to start with a story that's kind of been the biggest story of the last week or so.
And it involves the WNBA.
I'm not sure if you guys have talked about this in your show yet.
Not yet, no.
But there was an update yesterday that I think is kind of interesting.
But we have a piece here that we wrote the other day, and I'll read the headline.
Stop me if I can't say one of these words.
I
think I don't I think we should just insert just to be safe.
Let's
just use
the word sex toy.
Okay, perfect They caught one of the NBA sex toy throwers
they
caught
one of the WNBA sex toy throwers that is the headline go ahead
Yeah, a team was caught and arrested and he
was asked why he decided to throw the sex toy onto the court and his response was that he saw it online and it was a trend and he thought it was funny.
Which is exactly kind of par for the course.
What's been going on?
For people I haven't
heard, I guess there's a
A middle school humor to this once or whatever you want to look at but now it's just become in my opinion kind of offensive and weird that the yahoo's yahoo fans are going to WNBA games and throwing vibrators their sex
toys vibrators
onto onto the court while the game was going on and look this could be as you know I
This could be a serious thing in terms of one of these women steps on it and sprains her ankle and she misses the rest of the playoffs.
I mean, there's nothing funny about that.
Yes, it's also just very crude and disrespectful.
But the only reason he was caught is because as soon as he threw the toy, he ran.
He sprints it out of the stadium, but someone tackled him and waited for the police to come.
But yesterday there was an update on the story, and a group of cryptocurrency investors, traders have come out and taken responsibility for the sex toys.
The day before the first toy was thrown back in the end of July, I think it was July 29th, the first toy hit a court.
The day before, a meme coin called the Green
Insert sex toy coin was launched and ESPN actually has a report where they interviewed anonymously One of the people involved with the group and there are like a thousand people in like a telegram all organizing the Incidences telling me this very part of the course and
Obviously, it's crypto bros Betty.
I
was gonna say so basically it boils down to crypto bros Doing this is a marketing gimmick to get their name out there via sex toys being thrown on the court of WNBA games.
Do I have it about right?
Exactly.
Yeah Once again, it all goes back to idiotic crypto boys if you're buying crypto let alone advertising on your show shame on you
because it's just ridiculous.
This is the mentality of crypto people.
Oh, let's buy some vibrators and throw them out onto the WNBA court
with our name on it.
And I think it's, and I'm not sure if it's exactly insider trading, but there is like another legal aspect of it because it's, you know, you can, you're going to go and do something and then you're going to bet on whether that happens.
Yes.
So obviously, I think Kana Worms here has been opened that's going to have many other ripple effects beyond chess, you know, thermosex toys.
Kudos to one of the one of the organists at one of the NBA games.
I heard what that happened during the time out there trying to figure everything out.
They started playing good vibrations.
So that was that was pretty good.
That was pretty good.
I mean, make them make 11
out of 11.
All right, the next headline, Peter Rapine.
This one is just pure dumb fun.
A group of Russians sent a donkey down a zipline and the police say it wasn't technically illegal.
Russians sent a
donkey down a zipline and the police say it wasn't technically illegal.
Peter Rapine explained.
Yeah, so RT covered it after the video went viral and they claimed that police came in to investigate the guys.
But they didn't charge them with anything because it wasn't technically animal abuse because the animal didn't suffer any injuries and they couldn't determine whether it didn't actually have a good time going down this appointment.
Is that legal terminology?
The donkey didn't have
a bad time.
I'm unsure.
I'm unsure.
That's a great point.
How do you know that the donkey didn't love it?
I mean, we probably assume it didn't.
But it looked fun.
I mean, I've been on the zip lines.
You know, it's only scary for a couple of seconds for a second.
You
know, do we have do we have audio of this?
Is there audio of the donkey Parker?
Do we do want to play a little?
We
have it.
And I will admit, it's a bunch of farther zip line than I thought it would be.
It's
a bit.
Here we go.
Like this is like off a cliff.
Yeah, it's like over over a forest.
Yeah
All right And but I mean, you know the Russians have to do something to amuse themselves.
I mean they're waging Unprovoked war and killing tens of thousands of people in Ukraine Let's just have a good time and and throw a donkey on a zip code zip line those crazy Russians All right Peter a pine e-poms world all these can be found at e-poms world comm Peter a pine next
headline Next headline we typically don't wade into the political waters much, but sometimes
There's a story out there that is too funny and too dumb for us to ignore.
So this comes to us from Arizona, where 25 year old Miley Biggs is running for the Arizona Senate.
And our headline reads, woman running for office says women shouldn't run for office.
Woman running for office
says women shouldn't run for office.
The sub headline I love it is, but aren't you, you're running for what?
Explain.
So on a recent podcast appearance, Biggs said, and I quote, Honestly, I don't know if I would vote for any female.
I don't know if females should be in office.
There are a lot of really good women in office.
I'm not trying to hate on anyone like some really good Congresswoman.
Yeah, I don't think women should hold office in general.
That's my position.
That's my stance.
I think women should run the home.
And she said this as someone who was running for Arizona Senate.
It's just, it's weird.
It's gross, in my opinion.
It's just another example of, you know, certain iterations of MAGA.
They're running for something.
And and but yet they're saying women shouldn't do I mean does she think she's the exception or she is her platform Peter as near as you could tell is her platform vote for me to suppress more suppress more women's rights

The Managing Editor of E-bombs World joins us as he does every other Friday with a look at the wild but wacky crazy headlines of human behavior.
Mr. Peter Rapine.
Peter, next headline.
Okay, next headline.
It's pretty well reported that there was no love loss between Hulk Hogan and his kids.
We have a pre-damming headline here.
Hulk Hogan told his kids that if he could do it all over again, he wouldn't have them.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Yeah.
So Brooke on another podcast is talking about a time that she asked her dad if you go back in time and do it all over, would he still have them?
And he responded with a simple no.
I mean, you can't buy that kind of love.
Yeah.
And she also asked him because her and her
Now husband at the time we're thinking about getting married and she asked him if he would walk her down the aisle and he said, I don't do weddings.
Adding that you can't get me off the beach.
I think I read somewhere measure was brook or not.
But I think at least one of Hulk Hogan's kids did not even attend the funeral.
Yeah, I don't think she did.
No, I mean it and because and it's one of these weird things where I don't know how many wives Hulk Hogan have but like the latest one is basically the same age as one of his kids and there they seem to be some some some fighting there and it's also gotten weird in that at least some of the kids are alleging that he maybe not have died of natural causes so I sense a feud a family calling Richard Dawson there's gonna be a family feud in the Hulk Hogan's world.
Well, yeah, to that last point, Brooke actually posted on Instagram this week about how she wants to pay for another autopsy because she has questions around his death.
Whether he was given medication he shouldn't have been on or something.
Not saying that he was like murdered or anything.
Maybe he was just crazy.
That
crap crazy.
Maybe that.
And you know, some of the cloud in his funeral, Peter.
Yeah.
So I was saying, uh, someone spotted a Hulk Hogan like cloud above his funeral and posted it to, to social media.
And a lot of people were surprised because they assumed that he went to hell and not.
All right, Peter,
couple of minutes
left.
Next headline.
This is my favorite story of the week and probably my favorite story of the last couple weeks.
Headline reads, this madman has been buying and returning anvils on Amazon for eight months.
This mad man has been buying and
returning anvils on Amazon for eight months.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Peter Ray.
Yeah.
So tiktoker who goes by John Bo Stockwell.
May I assume that's his real name is 26 year old and his profile reads prophetically stupid.
And he uploaded a video the other week showing his Amazon, his history of his Amazon orders.
And it is.
Pages and pages and pages long of buying and returning and not like small little anvils, but Big and those that each seem to cost around $200
You're exactly right if anybody used to watch the old bugs buddy Roadrunner cartoon hour or whatever these are like anvils that the Coyote would try to drop on the Roadrunner
Who does this Peter?
I don't know evil.
It's funny like we can laugh about it, but it's it's patently evil Yeah, it's a slap, uh, you know an anvil to and from your doorstep, you know, they haven't they have his address
or your drivers who are having to tote these animals
around
But he seems to be getting a lot of joy out of it.
Maybe it's like a special interest thing for him.
Because in the video, he also has like a small little anvil on his desk.
And he makes a point of like tapping it and saying, trust me guys, the anvils I'm buying are much bigger than this one.
Peter, I think we found the guy who is throwing sex toys on the WNBA courts.
