This is Orlando's rock station one oh one one w jr R Idiotology, brought to you this hour by JRS Rock the Bank. Yes, our thousand dollars cash giveaways return Monday.

Nine oh five Monday morning is when it starts, and then wash rints repeat each day or each hour throughout the workday. All right, and we'll remind you again when we get rolling with that on a Monday. Always lots of lots of winners here from JRR. And you're hooked up with one thousand bucks. Taco Bob is off today, by the way, so you're stuck with me

doing the best I can here. Let's do some idiotology. Not quite sure what to make it is. There's a bar in China called The Beer Exchange. It features a huge assortment of different types of beers and ales and whatnot. The prices aren't set, though, they fluctuate basically kind of like stock prices do, yeah, based on supply and demand. Some would say this is called dynamic pricing. Well, it's certainly a spin on that, but actually I think it's

kind of a smart business move on. Folks who own bars that carry lots and lots of things on tap know that you can't afford to just let your beer sit unsold and spoil, right, You're losing money. Hand Over fits that this beer exchange prices go up and down based on the supplying demand, so if something is flying off the shelves, they might goose the price up a little bit to slow it down. Meanwhile lower the price of other brands that aren't selling at any given moment.

It hopes of encouraging bargoers to try some other different types of bruise. Interesting, by the way, the total price never fluctuates by more than about ten percent on any given beer, so it's no sort of super price gouging or even super discounts for that matter. But I guess it's kind of fun to keep an eye on that for the folks who frequent the beer exchange. Meanwhile, let's keep it international here in Norway. Norway apparently is big on recycling and they have a huge participation rate in

that country. And one of the reasons credited for having so many folks be in on the whole recycling mentality is they have what's called a recycling lottery. You know how in some states here in the US there's a deposit on cans and bottles, right, You've seen that before, and a lot of times it's well, that's incentive for people to bring back there. They're recyclables. But even with that, in the states that have it, the rates of recycling have stabilized and really haven't gone up or down much.

Per say, how do you change that? Introduce and steal the idea from Norway? The lottery. Yes, at random, certain cans and bottles will pay off a large cash prize. That's how it works. I'm not quite sure the exact mechanics of this, but has increased participation rates in Norway.

Where you can win prizes and it's at random, you may win anywhere between a dollar or one hundred thousand dollars like a scratch off ticket type deal, but based on your recycling good So the more you recycle, the better chances you have of turning it into real cash. I'm just thinking about this as I saw this visual unfold again in front of my house this week where

the garbage tree came up in my neighborhood. Garbage and recycling are on the same day, and I watched the garbage guys throw the garbage in the truck and then pick up the recycling bin and throw that in the

back of the truck as well. We've talked about this before. Wait, whereas usually there's two different trucks that come by, and you know, I don't know if that's a built in deal or if you know, if somebody calls in sick on the recycling side of things, it's like, well, screw it, just throw it all in the back of one truck. I tend to think it's screw it, just throw it all in the back of one truck. But I don't know. I'm not privy to the inner workings of my particular

garbage disposal company. We go to the Czech Republic, Boy, we are definitely going international here. This morning, a fake dentist gave root canals and other dental procedures. This fake dentist twenty two years old. He had a full dental staff operating out of a home. They had a complete setup performing dental surgeries and procedures, all sorts of stuff, including extracting teeth, complex root canals. They were using anesthesia

and all sorts of things. I don't know if they were just doing your usual twice a year cleanings as well. Probably not as profitable as the other stuff. But how did this guy receive his training if he's a fake dentist? To no dental training? Simple he went online and read instructions he found online on how to do dental procedures. This went on apparently for over two years before the police closed the whole operation down, and it sounds like it was a pretty damn profitable one as well. There

was three full time employees. The twenty two year old dentist with air quotes around the name. Then we had a fifty year old woman working as a nurse and a forty four year old man who was producing the prosthetic devices for patients. And I guess the nurse had access to actually pinching actual dental applies from a Legit dentist, which was providing all the means necessary for the twenty two year old to you know, do his online training procedures.

The craziest part about all this is the police were tipped off. There were no actual reports of anyone having some drastic side effect, trauma or end results from the services of the twenty two year old dentists. Make sure one.

How hard can it be to become a dentist? Watch a few YouTube videos. We're good to go, my kid. Dentists and folks working in the dental community, brush your teeth, floss, you know, at a regular basis. Here we go with another fraternity in trouble, this time the longest running currently or consecutively running fraternity in the history of the niversity in North Carolina at Chapel Hill. ATO shut down this after repeated violations of rampant hazing and underage drinking as

well as drug use. You know, we've seen and heard these stories for years now, and a lot of fraternities have cleaned up their their acts wink wink, or just been more careful about things. But not just ATO chapter at UNC Chapel Hill. They have been now closed down. What was the final straw. It wasn't the rampant hazing, or underage drinking or the drug use. No, no, it was the prior members who had been booted as a

result of what I just described, kicked out of the fraternity. However, the fraternity decided, Hey, we still need funds to operate. Let's just let the dudes who we've kicked out continue to live here and pay their dues and rent, which is what they were doing. And that was the final straw for uh. Well, I guess this would be a good place where we hear from our own dean Warmer.

Who dumped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet, who delivered the medical school cadvers to the alumni dinner every Halloween. The trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode. You're talking about Delta, sir. Of course, I'm talking about Delta, you twerp. This year, it's going to be different. This year.
