One on one taco to Orlando's rock station, one oh one one w j R R. Don't forget to throw your vote in for you say it, we play it still. Get about fifteen minutes. Get over to the JR Facebook page. Tell me which mega death song I should play this morning at nine three classics there in my Darkest Hour, Symphony of Destruction or peace selves? All right, which one one with the most votes? I'll do that, and then I'll randomly pick one of you to win Incubus and

Coheating Cambria tickets. Okay, taco's out today. Those of you who have been wondering what sight, Everything's fine. You'll be back on Monday. Let's begin in Detroit. Boy, what a way to uh get a ding on your driving record and probably have your insurance rates go up. Detroit man eating chicken wings while driving rear ends a police car. Yeah, hicken wings one of those up there on the degree

of difficulty while trying to you know, drive dishes. Right, there's just certain foods you just wait till you get home. We're back to work or whatever it might be. Trying to But now I guess if you're going naked without any sauce, maybe not while those still got kind of a well. Yeah, so he found out the hard way, mowing through some wings. At about three fifteen in the afternoon, the seventy three year old slammed into the back of a Michigan State Police patrol car stopped at a red light.

Yeah sware about you, luck, dude, boat. TikTok at it again. I guess some folks are seeing this deal where you take Jolly Rancher candies and melt them in a microwave, and then while the candy is hot liquid, you dip grapes in there, and the candy hardens around the grape and you've got whatever they're calling that Jolly Rancher grapes. One mother said it was a seemingly fun activity she spotted on social media to try with her youngster, her nine year old son. They melted down the bowl of

Jolly ranchers. Mom let the nine year old take it out of the microwave and carry it over to the counter. The kid tripped. The molten liquid candy completely coated the nine year old's hand and started to harden almost immediately. She said it covered his whole hand four fingers except his thumb. She said he was screaming bloody murder and a few seconds it took to get him to the sink.

Like I said, the candy had already hard and she tried to remove it, but started taking off his skin, so she had to take him to the hospital, where doctors determined he had second degree burns, having to do some follow up treatment. Just a heads up on that one. The hear someone in your household trying that, put some gloves on or something. Sounds like a delicious sweet treat. Though, can an entire state be addicted to coca cola? That is the state of Choppis in Mexico. That seems to

be the case. That particular Mexican state consumes way more coca cola than anybody else anywhere around the world. On average, residents of that Mexican state drank eight hundred and twenty one point two leaders of coca cola per year, thirty two times the global average. It works out about two point two leaders of coca cola day. It's sold and advertised virtually everywhere in that state. It's almost as cheap

as water. Most people don't even consume it as a treat, but as a way of keeping themselves hydrated throughout the day, and many have no clue that they're even addicted to it. The iconic soft drink has been president Sciappas for over half a century and is so deeply ingrained in the local culture and even in its religious practice that people can't imagine their lives without It's that. That's that Mexican

coca cola too, with the purecaine sugar. Right. Have you ever seen how much of that cost here in the US. It's like three times as much as a you know, the type of date schlept here with the artificial stuff. Yeah, and then I saw this side and there's something here that just doesn't add up. We go to Marine Land, which is a trust attraction in Ontario, Canada. Marine Land there has been ordered to pay an eighty five thousand dollars fine after three bears were kept in cramped quarters.

The uh they're gonna have to pay fifteen thousand dollars fine for each of the bears, a twenty five percent victim surcharge in twenty eight thousand dollars in restitution for the care of the bears after they were seized by animal welfare officers. The Niagara, Ontario tourist attraction was found guilty and what's believed to be its first its first conviction under animal cruelty loss.

Speaker 2

Well, I see the problem here. It's it's you've got bears at Marine Land. I just hey, you want to go to Marine Land? Yeah, don't they have a great bear exhibit? This is maybe you've been there and it's it's awesome. It just doesn't seem very constructive to have a place called Marine Land and you're trying to tend to bears. Eighty five grand. That seems like they're getting off kind of easy.

Speaker 1
