It will be me and John from Brutally Honest Podcast and Toby McAvoy Looking forward to it . I'm super excited . I took off work , I took PTO from work so I could go home and do this . So when Keith asked me to do this , I knew it . I said yes , I will make time . All right , question of the day . I love it because Question of the day .

I love it because Mr Sean's submitted a question of the day and you guys are way more clever than I am , and I love it . When you give me questions of the day or when you ask me anything , I love it . Or when you suggest a topic , I love it , yes , alright .

So Mr Sean's question of the day is which do you dislike or fear the most Rats , bats or snakes ? My answer is snakes , straight up . I can handle some rats . Even though I don't like them , I'd say I can handle them . I'm still going to be afraid of them , of course , I still don't want them near me , but it's not going to put the fear of God .

You know , they're like gross , get away from me , I'll kill them . But and then bats , I don't really , I don't know . I think I don't know . I haven't really encountered a lot of bats . I really haven't encountered a lot of rats either , quite frankly . And but snakes , oh no , snakes will put me out . I've never fainted in my entire life .

But I think and I've been I've seen snakes , I've been around snakes , I've seen them , but I've never fainted . Oh , but , oh , my God , I think I would have a straight up freaking heart attack if I came any kind of close encounters with one . But that would surprise me .

Now , if we're going to an like a zoo and there's a , you know , there's a reptile display or something like that , and I see them and I know that I'm going to see them , I'm not going to have a heart attack . But if , oh , I can't even imagine if I accidentally walked up on one and , uh , or something I don't know . No , so my answer is snakes .

Oh no , I can't do the snakes . So , great question of the day . Um , I love it . Which do you fear the most , rats , bats or snakes ? And I know this one girl I used to work with .

She had she's a great girl , but she , she brought in her pet snake and set up an aquarium in her office , okay , and I'm like , oh , uh , and she , she would always say , oh , that's an irrational fear . Well , it may be an irrational fear to her , it's not irrational to me . I have the fear and therefore it's real .

Okay , we're going to move on to the topics . But thank you , mr Shons , for that question of the day . I love it . Please feel free to send me more All right , or topics or any kind of questions . All right , I should probably bring back . Ask Carol , anything , all right , we have one , two , three , four topics today and we are going to start with .

Let me think , where do I want to start so that I end in a sort of light mood . Oh gosh , okay , here we go . We're going to start with Florida mom , jenny Phoenix , booted from her dream three-year cruise over a WhatsApp messages after selling her possessions . This is kind of a long , involved story . I'm going to try to keep it . I say long and involved .

Basically , she sold her possessions . She wanted to go on this cruise . The cruise kept getting delayed , so she started complaining to the other guests on the WhatsApp messaging thing and I guess they didn't like it and they didn't like it towed on her and so she was booted off the cruise and I can't stand that .

I can't stand that a florida mom who uprooted her entire life for a luxurious three-year-long cruise around the world was allegedly banned from the ship's owner after her private messages with gripes about the voyage was leaked and were impacting community morale . I want your , my gosh this stupid ad just popped up Go away , all right .

So Jenny she's 68 years old Reportedly took umbrage with multiple alleged issues on the ship , like an apparent four-month delay to even set sail and a WhatsApp message is that eventually made their way to the vessel's owner . This sounds like , I guess , a private uh ship .

It's not like a cruise line , like celebrity or disney line or whatever during that , because it doesn't . I don't think it mentions what the ship is . I think it's a private one . During the past year and a half , I have liquidated businesses and possessions , eagerly awaiting my new life cruising the world . This is a three-year cruise we're talking about y'all .

I've never heard of such a thing . The divorced mother of two had been living out of a suitcase since December as she waited to board the . Here we go . Here's the name of it the Villa , villa Vi , odyssey's maiden voyage . Maiden voyage Okay , that means it's the first ever . Is that right ? Is that what that means ?

Yes , I know , I was in the Navy , uh , the first . She first arrived in southampton , england , in may , expecting to embark on the years long voyage on the 15th , but the ship was moved to belfast , ireland , where guests were told they'd set sail on the 30th . Already it's . It's messed up .

She flies to a different country expecting to board the ship and then they're like no , we're going to board over in Ireland instead of England . That would piss me off right there . However , more problems were discovered on the Villa Vodice while dry docked , which further delayed its voyage .

The ship's certifications expired as it sat idle for four years during the COVID-19 pandemic . That damn COVID Forcing the owners of the ship to start . Oh my gosh , another damn ad , sorry . Oh my gosh . Oh , come on , I've lost my place . Bear with me while I go back and find this damn story . I apologize y'all . Here we go .

We got the reader view now , all right , so it expired . We got the reader view now , all right , so it expired . Blah , blah , blah . Her frustration grew further when the ship changed its itinerary and revealed it would no longer dock in Miami where she planned to pick up the rest of her belongings .

Phoenix was also told that after the trip was underway , she would have to use a temporary cabin , as the crew was still using the one she booked for the three-year-old adventure . All right , so she's booked this three-year cruise .

I would expect that she probably received information about where it's going , when it's going to board , when it's going to leave , where you're going , what cabin you have . So it's already planned correct . Well , now everything's changing at the last minute . She flies to England , it's not going to board there , it's going to board in Ireland .

So I guess she flies to Ireland I don't know if she did that or not and then they changed its itinerary of where it's going and when it's going , so now she can't pick up her stuff in Miami . These people have planned for this because it's a three years cruise and now they're saying she can't even use the cabin that she booked .

What , yeah , I'd be pissed off too . Phoenix was also told that after the trip was under okay , blah , blah blah the 68 year old voiced her concerns over the sudden changes to fellow passengers and a whatsapp group over the developments . I think I would too , to see if anybody else was , you know , upset . What could they do about it ?

Phoenix then received a notice from the owners of villa vile stating her reservation had been canceled for behavior impacting community morale . This is setting a bad example . Why can't you complain ? I would be complaining too . I've uprooted my life to do this .

I mean , I personally I wouldn't do it , but if people like , if people want to do that , that's their prerogative , they can do that . Then if everything changes , I don't know , and I would be upset too . I'd be bitching about it too . You can go read the rest of that story . It reminds me of the , the food truck race that we recently watched that .

You know we watch food network a lot and we like to watch like the next food truck race every once in a while they have that on . We like to watch the competitions and all there and everything . Well , one of the food trucks noticed that another food truck was doing something supposedly illegal and whatever .

But I guess , instead of going to the producers , they went to the other food trucks , you know , but it's a competition , that's what it's called a competition . They went to the other food trucks , you know , but it's a competition , that's what it's called a competition . They went to the other food trucks to , you know , to see what was happening .

And the other food trucks were like oh , we don't like you , you're telling on the other truck , blah , blah , blah , so we don't like you . Oh , okay , I'm moving on , sorry , all right , virginia , this is a weird one . Now you're going to have to stay with me on this one because it gets confusing .

Virginia husband Brendan Banfield , indicted for love triangle , double slaying of wife , fetish-seeking , stranger , a year after his Brazilian au pair was charged . Okay , this is a long , involved story . I'm going to try to keep it precise and cut out all the non-necessary fluff or whatever .

The Virginia husband entangled in a bizarre love triangle with his wife and their Brazilian au pair has been charged with the murders of his wife and a fetish-seeking man inside the couple's mansion on an elaborate scheme . So already there's one , two , three , four . There's four people involved . There's the couple , there's the au pair and then there's the strange man .

So Brendan Banfield is the husband of this couple , is accused of fatally stabbing his wife , christina Christine Banfield , accused of fatally stabbing his wife , christina Christine Banfield , and shooting Joseph Ryan , 38 , during an early morning love triangle double slaying on February 24th .

So we have Ryan is the strange man with the fetish , all right , and then we have Brendan and Christine are the married couple .

The Banfields were married and living in the home with their au pair , juliana Piers Magalese . So we'll call the au pair Magalese because they refer to her as Magalese throughout the article . Magalese is the au pair and their four-year-old daughter at the time of the murders .

All right , there's a four-year-old daughter involved , the 39-year-old IRS investigator and Magalese . So I guess this , the 39-year-old IRS investigator , I guess that is the husband . That is Brendan Banfield , the 39-year-old IRS investigator , and Magalese . The au pair allegedly shot Ryan the strange man right au pair allegedly shot Ryan the strange man right .

Is that is Ryan the strange man , because they keep changing the name . Yes , so Ryan is the strange , strange man who had been summoned to the couple's million dollar Herndon home through a sexual fetish online site . So the couple went to the online , ordered this guy to come to their house this Ryan guy , alright .

So let me read that paragraph again , now that we know who the players are the 39-year-old IRS investigator and Magalese , the au pair , allegedly shot Ryan , who had been summoned to the couple's million-dollar home , herndon home , through a sexual fetish online site .

Magalese , the au pair , then 23 years old , told investigators that she and Banfield had walked in on Ryan attacking a naked Christine . Banfield , as her employer shot at the intruder . She's accused of taking the fatal shot . So the au pair walked in on this strange man who was ordered from the website Ryan .

He was apparently attacking the wife of the couple , so the au pair , they walked in on him . The au pair shot him . That's the story . That's the story . When police arrived at the mansion , they found Ryan dead the strange man from a gunshot wound , while Christine Banfield was suffering from stab wounds . Christine is the wife that apparently this guy was attacking .

She was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead . So now we have the dead wife and the dead strange man from the website okay , wife . And the dead strange man from the website Okay , magalese is claiming self-defense . But prosecutors , but prosecutors . Allege that the entire episode was a ruse orchestrated by Magalese to get rid of Christine .

Okay , they maintain the belief that Ryan was a dupe lured into the sordid plot . Oh gosh , so I'm guessing that this Mr Banfield and the all pair were having an affair , so they created this . But they're already in like a weird situation anyway . So why ? Why would you go to the length ? I don't know .

Prosecutors have previously revealed that ryan had made plans to show up at the home . Prosecutors have previously revealed that ryan had made plans to show up at the home with a user who went by the name of anastasia on the . Now I'm confused . On the sexual dating site fet life really there's a such a thing , there is such a beast .

I'm spending way too long on this damn story . I got two more stories to go through , excuse me . The profile . The profile pictured a petite woman in a one-piece bathing suit . Investigators said there was no evidence to suggest Christine Banfield ever created the profile to or knew about its existence , but have not revealed who made it . I'm confused .

We need to move on . I will go back and if please go read this and if you can figure out and tell me what it's about , please do . I'm going to go and read it later , but we need to move on . I have two more things I want to talk about . The pagers . The Hezbollah attack came from budapest rigged with one to two ounces of explosives .

This is all over the internet , y'all this , and everybody is loving it , and I am too . The pagers that went off on the hezbollah terrorist people well , israeli was . The israel was involved , apparently , and and my husband and I were talking about this yesterday how did they do that ? Well , and I hypothesized about it and sure enough , I was right .

Okay , here we go . The pagers that blew up in a highly coordinated and deadly attack against Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon Tuesday came from Budapest and were rigged with as little as one to two ounces of highly explosive material . According to a report , they're going to tell us what the highly explosive material is .

I cannot pronounce it , so when I get there , I'm just going to say explosive material . The devices all exploded simultaneously Tuesday after receiving a message that triggered the detonation , killing at least nine people , including an eight-year-old girl , and wounding nearly 3,000 more . Among those injured was Iran's ambassador to Lebanon .

Hezbollah , the Iran-backed militant group that the US has designated a terrorist organization , ordered more than 3,000 of the latest models from Gold Apollo in Taiwan , most of them being the company's AP924 model . I guess they have to put that in there .

American and other officials , briefed on the operation , told the New York Times Gold Apollo said Wednesday it authorized its brand on the pagers but claimed that a company in Hungary manufactured them . The shipment , however , was allegedly intercepted by Israeli spy agency Mossad five months ago , and rigged with this is the explosive material content .

I can't pronounce a highly explosive material . Sources told Sky News that is incredible . This is an involved operation and good for them . They were implanted with as little as one to two ounces of the explosive , allegedly placed next to each battery , along with a switch that could be triggered remotely to cause detonation , the official said .

According to the Times , the pagers all received a message around 3.30 pm local time that appeared as though it was being sent from Hezbollah's leadership . The official said the message caused the battery's temperature to overheat , which triggered the switch and activated the explosives . Incredible , think about that . They had to have been tracking this .

They , they , they ordered . This group ordered these pagers , so israeli spies intercepted this order and then you know they had to quickly implant all of the all of the pages with this stuff . It's it's incredible . It's incredible . Good for them all , right . This next one , this stuff , it's incredible , it's incredible . Good for them All right .

This next one is kind of it's very light but it's kind of controversial . I guess and I need your opinion on this Jim's controversial rule to ban members from filming themselves has sparked global crackdown .

An Aussie gym owner who controversially banned members from filling themselves working out has sparked widespread industry change as other fitness facilities around the world followed suit .

Founder and owner of the Melbourne-based Doherty's Gym , tony Doherty , opened up about the aftermath of his decision to stop members from recording their fitness routines after noticing his gym became a circus .

After completely outlawing tripods in all Doherty's gyms there are three in Melbourne and one in Perth back in February , mr Doherty has now opened up about the effects of his decision had on the fitness industry . He said honestly , the tripods were doing my head in . I don't understand that .

I guess he said one day I went into the gym and there were seven people using tripods in one room and I'm like I need to wrap the thing up and wrap it around someone's head . So he's banned the people filming themselves in their gym . What ? And it's apparently it's a controversial decision . What do you think about that ?

The gym that I apparently sometimes go to ? Apparently I do have a membership somewhere . I probably need to go in and cancel it because I really don't go there anymore . But winter time is coming , winter is coming , so I may go back , uh , because it will get cold in my garage .

Uh , but I really don't see anybody filming themselves in the in my gym when I go . So that's a good thing . And , uh , transparency

. I have filmed myself in the gym before , but it wasn't , it wasn't like an all day thing , it was . I didn't use a tripod , it was for a back squat . That I did . I wanted to film my PR and I wanted to film my , my form , my taking my form .

So I just set my phone up out of the way and it wasn't bothering anybody , it wasn't like it was a CrossFit gym , so we were doing these things on our own , uh , and I just did it , just did it . It took like three minutes to do . So I have done that before and I think I even have a picture of it , a still picture of it .

Anyway , I've gone on way too long . Thank you all for listening . I appreciate you and I hope you've enjoyed the topics . I know I went way too long on some of them . Gotta go and I will be back again tomorrow . Thanks for listening .
