Episode description

Today is National Frozen Yogurt Day! Grab a friend and share a refreshing cup of frozen yogurt, the amazing dessert which manages to taste almost as good as ice cream while not being particularly healthier! But – before you start feeling ‘Breyers remorse,’ remember that at least you can pretend frozen yogurt is healthier!

Today is National Chocolate Fondue Day. Although this day doesn’t warrant taking off of work, it most certainly permits a cheat-day for anyone miserably dieting. Fondue fanatics and chocoholics can celebrate their favorite snacks by grabbing a piece of their preferred choice of fruit or pastry, jab it through a stick and throw it in the chocolate.


A U.S. cruise ship is quarantined in Japan after 10 aboard tested positive for coronavirus.

Health officials are going room-to-room on the Diamond Princess to check the nearly 37-hundred guests' temperatures and medical conditions. Some passengers have reported feeling ill. The ship cut short its planned 14-day itinerary and is now docked off the coast of Yokohama, not far from Tokyo.

The checks began after an elderly man, who was on the ship last month, fell ill with the virus.

Illinois Police say a man tried to pull a prank on local Walmart shoppers by wearing a sign that read, "Caution, I have the coronavirus."

The man and his accomplice, both in their 20s, reportedly walked into a Joliet location wearing a yellow face mask and spraying Lysol. The pair did 10-thousand dollars in damage by spreading the disinfectant spray on produce, clothing and beauty items. Other customers confronted the two men before they took off in a white truck. Police have not found either man.

James and Maxine Hilliker live in Lumberton, North Carolina, about halfway between Charlotte and Wilmington.

And just in time for their 70th wedding anniversary, they hit the lottery for more than HALF-A-MILLION BUCKS.

They've been playing the same Cash 5 numbers every Tuesday for 22 years, and they'd never won anything big before.

But late last month, they bought a ticket like always, and it hit the jackpot for $767,000 . . . or $544,000 after taxes. They picked up the check last week, on James's 90th birthday.

Their 70th anniversary is this week. They're planning to spend some of their winnings on a cruise . . . and they're not sure what they'll do with the rest yet.

Meanwhile in Florida

Pamela Carr’s husband delivered some stunning news Sunday morning: He wanted a separation after nine years of marriage.

The 68-year-old Carr’s response was equally shocking: She pulled out a taser and repeatedly zapped her 73-year-old spouse.

As the couple argued over the separation, Carr “pulled out a taser and drive stunned him several times,” according to a criminal complaint charging Carr with aggravated domestic battery, a felony.

The court filing does not indicate whether Carr’s husband was injured as a result of the tasing in the couple’s Clearwater home. Carr, police say, admitted to tasing her husband, but “claims it was in self defense.”

Carr was released from the county jail Sunday night after posting $1000 bond. A judge has ordered Carr to have no contact with the victim and has barred her from possessing firearms and ammunition.


Wow, I have no idea why this woman's husband would want to end things.

The legalization of recreational marijuana has caused a chain reaction of business opportunities for cities. In Illinois, recreational marijuana is such a hit that it’s causing some traffic and parking issues near dispensaries. The state says recreational marijuana brought in nearly $40 million in the first 31 days it was available to buy.

It has also created some serious parking issues for nearby businesses that are located near the dispensaries. It has caused some municipalities to offer shuttle services for marijuana buyers. The shuttle will run once a week and it will only transport those that are medical marijuana patients and or have a valid handicapped parking sticker.

On Monday, Domino’s Australia debuted the design for a diamond-encrusted, pizza-shaped engagement ring on its Twitter page, and promised one “lucky pizza lover” the opportunity to pop the big question and profess their love for pizza at the same time.

The pizza chain also revealed details of the ring, which they say is worth more than $9,000.

According to their website, fans can enter to win the ring by submitting a 30-second video “detailing how you will involve pizza in your proposal.” That said, it's probably not a good idea to try and hide the ring inside the pizza, as it’s encrusted with diamonds, and that could really hurt if someone bit into it.

"Think you've found your slice of heaven and are ready to say, 'I cheese you'?" writes Domino's of the contest. "We're giving one lucky pizza lover the chance to make a truly dough-mantic proposal this Valentine’s Day."

Those wishing to participate can provide their information on the official contest page.

The eventual Domino’s-themed proposal will mark yet another feel-good moment for the chain, following news of a delivery driver who got a huge tip earlier this year.

What happens when a love doll is retired? You give it a funeral!

One Japanese company is offering men a way to say goodbye to their doll companions. Human Love Doll Company offers three plans including a basic joint funeral with others, a personal funeral service or a doll angel plan, where the owner accompanies the doll to a processing facility to be dismantled.

Each service is officiated by a porn star and features a commemorative photo and video. The most expensive plan costs nearly 700 dollars. Funerals are held in Osaka. It is estimated more than two-thousand dollars are sold in Japan every year.

Fun Fact! In Japan, it’s widely believed that all types of dolls have souls like humans, making it bad luck to throw them out with the garbage.

God help the guy who hears this and decides chocolate-flavored CONDOMS would be the perfect Valentine's Day gift . . .

A new survey found the #1 gift women want to get for Valentine's Day this year is chocolate . . . and the #1 gift guys want is SEXUAL FAVORS.

20% of men said they'd like to receive sex for Valentine's Day. And 30% of women want to get chocolate or candy.

The top five things women want are chocolate . . . a card . . . flowers . . . jewelry . . . and a massage or spa day.

The top things men want are sexual favors . . . a card . . . chocolate . . . booze . . . and electronics.

It didn't ask people if they plan to GIVE sex as a gift. But the #1 gift women did say they plan to give is . . . chocolate.

The #1 thing men said they plan to give this year is flowers. Chocolate was a close second though.

Meanwhile in the Lone Star state The San Antonio Zoo is running a promotion this year where they'll name a rat after your ex . . . and feed it to a snake. It costs $25, and you can watch a livestream of it happening on Valentine's Day.

5 Ways to Make Her Leave You

Be disgusting. However gender politics wax and wane, women still hate that. Farting, burping and blowing your nose on your fingers haven't become attractive just because we're all feminists now.

Verbal tics are always useful. Ask her casually, "Do I use the word 'cool' too often?" Then use it all the time. In every sentence. Dozens of times a day. Soon enough, she won't be able to bear another minute in your company.

When dining with her parents, wait until she's talking, then catch her mother's gaze and roll your eyes. Better still, ask "Was she always like this?"

Cry after sex. Even better (if you can manage it), during. Have a good old sob. The first time, she will hold you tight and murmur loving words. The second time, she'll ask nervously, "Are you all right?". The third time, you'll wake up to find her packing.

Always drink too much. Don't stop until you're staggering, slurring and slightly embarrassing yourself. In bed, paw at her incompetently and belch at key moments. Then fall asleep, sweating lager and snoring loudly. She'll dump you in time to get your liver back into shape.

Sometimes hiding things in plain sight isn't such a great idea . . .

Two idiots named Ian Simmons and Joshua Reinhardt got pulled over for speeding near Pensacola, Florida on Saturday. And Joshua had an active warrant out, so cops searched their car.

And they found two bags they immediately thought might be full of drugs . . . because each bag had printing on the side that said, "BAG FULL OF DRUGS."

They're actually make-up bags you can buy online. So the fact that they say "Bag Full of Drugs" is supposed to be a joke . . . but these guys actually kept drugs in them.

Cops searched the bags and found 75 grams of meth . . . three-and-a-half grams of fentanyl . . . 1.4 grams of GHB . . . 1 gram of cocaine . . . and 15 MDMA pills.
