Hey there junkies. Hey in regards to the dine and dash. I remember back in the early 2000s there was a guy he's kind of like the DB Cooper of uh of eriez but he would go into a place. Uh, go up to the bar order. A really nice meal, have a couple of drinks and um, he'd go to the bathroom. Occasionally, I heard this from the restaurant owners that would tell me about this, but he would go to the bathroom, every once in a while, and he'd leave his cell phone, his wallet up on the bar which, you know, some people do. But then uh, he would get up and everyone thought he was going to the bathroom because he had a cell phone and wallet sitting there and he would casually walk out of the restaurant. And no 1 would really pick up on it because there was a cell phone in a wallet and they weren't really looking for him to leave. But uh and obviously when they looked at his that cell phone and that wallet, it was an old beat up flip phone, and the wallet was just a cheap wallet with nothing in it. So uh, interesting little thing he had going on there,

Don't you think that even if they took money up front? That people who eat the food and then complain. Uh and don't pay for it, can't they still do that and then they're still not being charged for it even if they have their card information.

Happy. Happy weekend News. Junkie crew. So uh, by this time tomorrow. They'll be drunk. Floating down the river, in my kayak somewhere, in Marion County. but uh, the 2530 years ago, with a being able to pay for your fuel. After you pumped, I was a visiting a cousin in New Hampshire and had to drive back to New York. And I was a teenager, I missed calculated how much fuel and how much money I needed and was running out of gas on the mountains, somewhere, in Vermont and pulled into a Cumberland Farms, gas station filled, my old 78 Sabre up with all, whatever 30 gallons or whatever. That giant thing held, uh, had the old flip down license plate. For the gas fill cap. And uh, I turned around and filled my car up left, my gas tank license plate down and uh just drove off. Yeah, that was a thing.

Hey news, junkies uh I agree with Sean. I'm a bartender. And we at the bar I work at ask every person that walks in to give a credit card and we put a hold on it, it's not uncommon in bars. I don't see why it wouldn't happen in restaurants. You can just say we are just going to put a short, hold on your card at the end. We'll charge you the full amount after we show you the bill. Um, you might still get disputes, you might get people unhappy with it, but it really would eliminate it. They do it in bars because people get too tanged and then they walk out on their table. Um, but if this becomes a major problem, you can see it happening.

I'm sorry, but Cain going. Oh my goodness. Bonnie's dead was the funniest thing. I have heard all year.

Hey what's up, Junkies you uh, talking about that roof collapse in that club in the Dominican Republic and and the death toll and it was making me think that I think prior to this the uh that Station nightclub fire, the 1 with a great white that where the building caught on fire, I looked it up. It was something like a 100 deaths and I think it had held like the record for the most deaths in a nightclub fire. It sounds like this is going to, you know, blow past it. The other thing, uh, real quick, you guys talking about that school? I wonder if somebody goes into that school and there is a shooting or something like that and say students are hurt and the administration wouldn't let the police in Have they obstructed like are they now could they now be responsible? Because the police could have stopped it and you know prevented people from being shot. Oh All right.

If you want to destroy my shoulder. Wiggle wiggle, pop pop.

Hey Sabrina, uh, the craziest thing that we saw at funerals and it wasn't just once it was multiple times. The community, I worked in had a large Haitian population and Haitian funerals. They literally throw themselves on top of the caskets uh and wail and scream and carry on. And a lot of times they're even uh uh paid actors to do that. Just to kind of like show how Much, the person has missed and the loss is uh but that that was the craziest thing that we saw. Oh, and people stealing the brass uh name plates to sell them for scrapping by Meth.

All these funeral talk reminds me of the opening scene from Mouse hunt where they're having the funeral for the father and the handle busts off the casket as they're carrying it down the stairs. And the body hits the bottom of the stairs flies out, bolts over a car and goes down a manhole hilarious.
