Vacation Weight Gain, Barcode Tattoos, and 80s Nostalgia: Stories You Won't Hear Elsewhere

week on Wednesday , thursday or actually Thursday and Friday . But I'm sure you fared just fine without my remarks . You fared just fine without my remarks . But we're back Back to schedule , back to routine . Yes , I went hog wild off of my diet , started off okay during the weekend , but eventually it was horrible . I gained back three pounds .

But that's okay , that's all right and you know what . We're going to move on . We're back to it now , back to the routine , back to the schedule , back to the diet and everything's going to be fine . You are not here to hear about me , bitch about that we have .

I'm bringing you three stories , because that are you're not going to hear anywhere else except for New York Post , because that's where I got them . But they're so different and unusual . Some of them are uh , they're not about Iran . Okay , I don't bring you stuff like that here on the podcast on a regular basis . Sometimes I'll talk about stuff

like that , but you're going to hear that on mainstream media all day long . You don't need to hear it from me too , because , uh , yeah , we're going to talk about other stuff . We're going to talk about this girl .

The swiss woman is such a fan of red bull that she reportedly got the energy drink cans barcode tattooed on her skin and it amazingly works at the self checkout . Here we are sign of the beast , okay , uh , so this woman is such a fan and she shows a video of her utilizing this functional body art has racked up over 7.9 million views on tiktok .

I was thinking about gettinga barcode tattoo for some time . The woman named do oh god , you're kidding me told Jam Press of her drink-inspired ink job .

Coincidentally , the content creator , who goes by MyCringes-t yeah , that sounds about right on social media was initially thinking of getting a tat of broccoli or something silly , but then decided on Red Bull after thinking energy , oh dear Dew reportedly dropped the equivalent of over $600 on the tattoo which features the barcode being chomped by a worm .

Okay , I then added the worm which is chomping it up , based on a little drawing my sister did do explained of the body art which evokes the barcode themed skull tattoo from the hitman games . All right , this is way over out of my life . She shows pictures of her using the scanner , scanning it , and it works okay , whatever , whatever , wow .

The Swiss woman couldn't believe that the barcode was functional , as even her ink guy had his reservations . I knew it possibly couldn't work , as my artist was very open about it . The content creator exclaimed I tried to the next day at work and it did . I was so excited about it work and it did . I was so excited about it .

Oh my gosh , she was excited about the scanner working on her skin , on her tattoo , y'all . We have failed our young people . But that's over in switzerland , so maybe we don't have to worry about it over here . I don't know right . We're moving on to the next one .

A penny-pinching bride shocks bridesmaids with outrageous spreadsheet of expenses Feels wrong to me Now . Look , it's been a while since I was , since

I've gotten married and , yes , I had a church wedding with the gent , but I don't remember doing all this because I wanted it to be super casual . I think I told my I didn't even want to have bridesmaids actually , but I did I had and I told them look , just go get a champagne color dress of your choice from wherever you want to get it from .

Nobody has to match , except for the color . I want you to get a dress that you'll wear again . Okay , so it was , you know , pretty laid back , I think , a bride . But here we go , we're going to talk about this . Uh , let's see , a bridesmaid was gobsmacked after her friend .

The bride asked her to pay a hefty fee to be a part of the bridal party , making the bridesmaids not want to participate in the wedding at all . So I don't know how this works anymore . How does this work ? If you're asked to be in a wedding , don't you ? Shouldn't you have to pay for your own stuff ? I I'm not sure how that works .

The anonymous 24-year-old woman took to Reddit , in a since-deleted post , to detail her predicament , saying that she was beyond excited and honored to be a part of the special date to her friend . Then things took a turn . Well , what did you think it was going to do If you're asked to be a part of a wedding party ?

Do you think you're just going to do it for free ? I don't know . Does the bride had ? Does the bride have to pay for everything ? I'm honestly asking , I don't know . Um , so a couple weeks after the proposal , megan sent me an email detailing the bridesmaid package . The woman wrote on reddit .

People reported she attached a spreadsheet showing what I would need to pay for in order to in order to participate first . I think this , if at least she's telling you up front how much to expect to pay , it's not like she's gonna whammy it on you later .

So the expense included a 500 for a dress that's kind of expensive for a dress , I think for bridesmaids , but I don't know . $300 for hair and makeup that's ridiculous . Can you not do your own makeup ? $150 minimum for a bridal gift and $100 deposit for the bachelorette party for the luxury resort . So I mean , you're going into something like this .

It's going to be expensive . I don't think the bride should bear the brunt of all of it . I mean , if you want to be a part of it , like I said , at least she's telling her up front what to expect . All right , we're moving on to a feel-good story from the New York Post .

Actually , and I am cheering this , this little girl , on I think I want to go follow her on TikTok . Trapped in the 80s , this 24 year old has big hair , vintage clothes and a Camaro

and makes her living from a decade she never lived in . Her gig is totally rad . Like oh my gosh , a Staten Islander is making a living from her infatuation from the 1980s , despite never having lived in the decade herself .

Content creator Violet Skye , who sports a teased up perm and bangs and even drives a teal Camaro , always dresses as if she were going back to the future Every moment of every day . It's just my lifestyle at this point .

Skye , who is 24 years old , who has more than 324,000 TikTok followers , told the Post I wear at least one piece of acid-washed denim a day and I've been really into the big hair . She's super cute too . They have pictures of her on all this , so I say good for her If she's making money off of this doing it , and this is good , clean , fun .

At least she's not on only fans since launching her instagram and tiktok account glitter wave 80s , so I am definitely going to go follow her .

Sky , who uses her first and middle names for her online persona , landed partnerships with multiple 80s icons bands like deaf leopard and journey tv shows like married with children , clothing labels such as s s you know , espri , espri , espri , you know what I'm talking about . And arcade classics like pac-man . Good for her .

Everything I do to make money really relates to the 80s and in the some way she said now see , I couldn't do something like that because I'm old . They want somebody fresh and young like that to bring you back to the 80s . I love this idea . Good for her . I'm cheering her on when she is not creating social content , media media content .

Sky works at the thrift shop Flamingos Vintage Pound in Chelsea and also does 80s wardrobe consulting . Good for her , I love it . The former music industry major at SUNY Anyanta also hosts a radio show Good , she also hosts a radio show I gotta see if I can find that On Staten Island Station , maker Park Radio spinning vinyl records only .

And it is also releasing an 80s album this year , aptly named the Sky's the Limit . Oh , my gosh , you guys need to go finish reading that . I love it . All right , but we need to move on because I'm running out of time . I need to have the question of the day . Let's see . Okay , since we're just going to keep it with the 80s .

Who was your favorite band from the 80s ? I don't know what my favorite band is from the 80s . I was never into music back in my day Madonna . I liked Madonna , but that's not really a band I don't know . I loved MTV . Mtv opened a whole new world for me . I need to probably start some kind of blog series on MTV . Somebody do it , do you remember ?

From a little girl from Southern Ohio and rural Southern Ohio . Mtv opened a whole new world to me and I'm sure for others too , when being a teenager in the eighties . Anyway , I've run over . Okay , I've got to go . I hope y'all have a great day . Go read my blog at Americanistcom
