Speaker 3 (00:42):
I love dark, spooky and gross. All right, is there
any opportunity to make a joke?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Always?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Okay? All right, well then can't give it to me.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
So this one, I'll let me read you.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Let me read you the headline of this Instagram post,
and if you don't want to go into it, we won't.
Colorado tree worker loses legs on first day of new job.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I saw this.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Did you read how it happened? Nope? So John O'Neil,
I believe his name, Yeah, John O'Neil.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I wonder if they let him go home early after that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
He was fifteen minutes into his workday.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Damn the job for real, just stor like you just
got there.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
He lost both of his legs in a freak wood
chipper accident.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
From the knee down or the dig down. Uh you
said he could make jokes.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
This looks like he lost his knees. So above the knee.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, would you rather lose your leg below the knee
or above the knee.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Below the knee or below yes, look because he can
get a prosthetic.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Or if you lose above the knee, uh huh, then
they can do that thing where they put your foot
on backwards to create a.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Knee joint with your ankle.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
What you've never they put your leg on.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You lose your leg if you lose it above the knee. Okay, right, yeah,
they take a foot. I assume your foot, but like
assuming or foot, it's not gone. They take a foot
and they like connect it to your leg. Okay, but
(02:24):
they put the foot on backwards.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
To make it a knee and it acts as a.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Knee joints your ankle, the ankle part does.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So you have one full sized leg and then one
foot where your knee is yes, that's a lot of
discrepancy of height.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Well it's for the prosthetic.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Like then the foot then goes inside the prosthetic and
you're able to still like bend your leg and walk
because yeah, your ankle became your knee. Then you can
really cut punt.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Because it can anyways. Yeah, no, I don't want any
of that, so here go. So this is what happened.
What was his name again, John John John O'Neil, thirty
three year old John O'Neil.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
He explained that a fish hook shaped branch he was
feeding into the wood schipper got caught under his ankle
monitor No, no, he had an ankle monitor um and.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It drug drag. It dragged him towards the wood shipper.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Seconds later, he sustained severe injuries to his feet and legs.
Despite the harrowing situation, he remained calm and held onto
the edge of the machine while shouting for help.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Not only are you being dragged towards the machine, you're
being dragged through the woodschipper and it already got your ankles,
your shins, your knees. You have to hold onto the
sides before it eats your whole body up.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Did they give him like a training.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
On this, Like, honestly, it's your first day and they're
making you handle the wood chipper like those those things kill.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
People for real?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, that seems like advanced. Yeah, advanced.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Why can't I just be like a log transporter instead?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Why I got to be over here chipping wood with
this machine?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
His coworkers couldn't hear him immediately because they were all
wearing ear protectors once they realized what was happening.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
God, how long was he holding onto that wood chipper
while the thing?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I'm sure it felt like five hours.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh that's the thing. When you if you get eaten
by a shark. Let's let me come back.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
If you get eaten by a shark, would you rather
go feed first or head first? I think head sever
my head like I don't want.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
To know about it, because otherwise it's going to take
a couple bites of your legs work its way up
your Torso you're alive and alert the whole.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Time unless you pass out.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Unless you pass out.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
But if one to pass out, yeah, I definitely would
pass out. Almos passed ot when I got my tray
is pierced.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
What's that part your nose or the thing in your ear?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
The thing in my ear?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, after they did the second one, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
My face was whiter than yo.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
So this, dude, that's what so I had. I forget
you can you can look?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Speaking of white asses?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
So I had at a point I had one ear
ring and then I got two more. Which side I
had one in? Which one I had two in? Can
you see it.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Looks like that side has two in that one?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
My okay, my left So we were in the car
the other day and my fiance goes, how long ago
did you get your ears pierced? I'm like, oh, years ago,
because they've obviously closed up sins. She goes, who did
it for you? Because the side my left side had two?
She goes, they're so off, like they're not in line,
like one's in ones up like.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
And she goes, where did you get it done? I'm like, Claire's, Yeah,
I'm like the mall, Claire's did you go all right?
So some I'm like seventeen year old girl with an
after school job. I'm like, I guess, so I don't know.
She goes, yeah, they're super like they're off, they're not
aligned at.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
All, so mine also, I think actually the only professional
piercings I've ever gotten that I currently have, and I
think I have. I have ten piercings active ones right
now right only three of them have been professionally done.
(06:27):
It's a lot like and when I say professional, I
mean like go to like a tattoo piercer's shop.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, versus the mall. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
My mom did my first ones.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I didn't count as professional, definitely not no.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And and she like pierced it, and then I had
red thread. I don't know what the fuck it is
with Mexicans and red thread.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Okay, she put it in there for good luck.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I think it has something to do with with not
getting an infection. I don't know what the deal is
with Mexican's in red thread, but like they're obsessed with
piercing their baby's ears and then putting bread thread in it.
I don't know what it means. It means, it means something. Anyways,
my mom did my first ones and then I went
(07:16):
to like those little like kiosks in the middle of
the mall. I got my second ones done at one
of those, and it was actually like my sister's friend
that worked there that did it. And then my third
ones I actually got in Seattle, so like a few
years ago, out of the Claire's.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
That I just happened to be passing by.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And it was a literal spur of the moment of
like fuck it, let's get our ears pierced, because by myself,
I just went in, sat down.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
She did it.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
One of them's crooked of course, of course, and yeah,
and that was it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I did my nose myself. So the only ones that.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
You you nose yourself with what a needle or you
just shoved a earring?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Started. I started with a safety pin.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Ah okay.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I started with.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
The safety pin and got it all the way through
my nose until I got to the very bottom layer
of skin, like inside my nostril. I couldn't get the
safety pin through it because that skin was so stretchy.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
It was like stretching out with the needle.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Right.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
So then I got an ear ring.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
U huh.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That was the It was a piercing earring.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
So the back of it was sharp, sharp and I
and I finished it off with the earring was because
it was small enough that I could like stick my
fingers kind of inside my nostril, and then I had
to like push my nostril out as I pushed the
earring in, and it popped through that last layer of skin.
And then I took an eraser and I stuck it
(08:48):
on the inside to hold the earring in place. And
I had it like that for like I don't know,
a couple of days before I got a real nose ring. Holy,
because I also did that like spur of the moment
in my bedroom, like middle of the night.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Took me like twenty minutes to pierce my nose because
it hurt.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
That's horrible.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
My fiance saw that they sell those earring guns on Amazon.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
She like, let's get one.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I'm like, why you're Yeah, I see a lot of
people piercing their own noses with one of those, and
I hear, you're not.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Supposed to, Yeah, you think.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
And you're also not supposed.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
To pierce your like upper ear cartilage with those either, Yeah,
because I've always heard for the longest that you can
like shatter your cartilage.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I about it.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Whatever that means, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I then go back to this dude who got eaten
by a woodchipper on his first day of work.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
His coworkers couldn't hear him. Once they realized what was happening,
they rushed to him.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
By the time he was pulled out of the machine,
the blades had reached the middle of his thighs Oh yeah,
the guy O'Neil, John o'nil said, it looked like something
out of a movie. I didn't freak out. I did
stay calm.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I don't know how he did that, my coworker said,
I was very cognitive throughout the whole thing. His coworkers
made a makeshift bandage of what his whole leg is gone,
helping him to stay alive until the paramedics arrived. He
was aerlated to a nearby hospital, where he briefly died
as his heart stopped, but the doctors were able to
revive him. Following the accident, his friend launched a GoFundMe
(10:20):
campaign wall this dude sucks.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
So how did this happen? Again? A branch of a
branch hooped him and dragged him in. Yeah, so he's
loaded some final destination shit exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
He's loading a branch in the wood shipper. Sorry, he's
loading the branch in the wood shipper and then it's
got like a piece of kind of hooks around, so
it came up behind him, caught his ankle and dragged
him into it.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
That's crazy, Like you would think that you would notice,
like you would see something like that and avoid it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Uh wow, all right, that's that guy.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Yeah, I did see. I did see that story.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
In all these photos, he's smiling like in the he's recovering,
he's he's double he's double gunning his biceps. In the
photo of him on the wheelchair with zero legs, full
on Lieutenant Dan style.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, what the fuck Lieutenant Dan has has no foot
the hurricane.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Lieutenant Dan, give me the background.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
On him, like like, I don't know, I just got
no foot.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So I was reading up on him. Lieutenant Dan is
this guy in Florida. His real name I forgot his
real name, doesn't matter. He got nicknamed Lieutenant Dan from
uh the Internet, from Forrest.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Gump, uh huh.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
And he chose to like write out Hurricane Milton in
his sailboat.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
On the water, just like tied up to a dock.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah, he was like, Yeah, I'm just gonna chill out
here for the hurricane, and you know, I'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Everyone's like, bro, what the fuck, it's a category five.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah, like it's getting so strong that they may even
consider it a category six, which doesn't even fun fucking exists.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yeah, and you're just gonna sit in your sailboat.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And he's like yeah, So he sits in a sailboat
during the hurricane, and the hurricane passes and he made
it and he's fine.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
But but then I think it. When the hurricane hit,
it was like a category two, like a hill, a
downgraded four five.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Once it gets closer to landfall, they always downgrade, and
that's why so many people are like, yeah, there's no
reason to rush out. It's her it's a category five
in the middle of the ocean. But when it gets
closer to land.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Like, it'll be fun. But it was huge. No, for no,
I agree with.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I still would have been freaked out, Like like short,
it made downgrade, but looking at a map and looking
at how fucking big that hurricane was, it's like and
then it was changing direction constantly like you just don't know,
And then was global warming, like you don't fucking know.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
You see, the one person that came home, their house
was flooded and as they're walking through the Yep.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Yeah, I've seen that.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
But anyway, so the cops were constantly going to see
Lieutenant Dan and his boat, trying to get him to
evacuate and go to a safer area, and he like refused.
But there's this photo of the police talking to Lieutenant
Dan on the dock. He has one crutch and I
think it's his left foot is like missing from maybe
(13:24):
the ankle down.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, I'm not fucking got no foot.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
And I'm hearing rumors that the reason why he stayed
on his boat is because there was a ban on
like people who have sexual assaults charges or have been
in jail, or like these people who have these records
(13:52):
and hold those kind of records.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Oh wow, I'm looking at his foot right now. It's
not just a foot, it's like from the shin, so
speaking of like amputated below the knee. Oh okay, well he's
missing a foot and a full shin.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Well there you go. Anyways, he has a long track
record of arrests.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
And I think I saw post something on Instagram. He
had like fourteen mug shots.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I'm counting all seventeen right now.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Seventeen Yeah, I mean seven, fourteen fourteen. So anyways, people
are speculating that the reason why he stayed on the
boat is because he wouldn't have been let into the shelters.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I don't know what his arrests are for. I mean,
it looks like drugs, drugs.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I know there's a couple our assaults, like he punched
a cop in the nose for one of them. There's
another charge where he like poured gasoline on a woman
that was at a park and like lit a park
bench on fire.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Like he seems pretty fucking psycho.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I don't think Lieutenant Dan has toes on his other foot.
He's missing a shin a foot and then five toes
on his foot that he does have.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Lieutenant Dan is down bad name of the podcast, Lieutenant Dan.
It's just badad.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
What if that's why he was like, fuck this, I'm
just gonna sit in my boat whatever happens.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
You know, like at this point, let go and let
God at this point love her, leave her alone, yep,
set out to cheve Cassie.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
But yeah, man, I think I was more shocked with
all of the hurricanes that spawned in Florida ahead of
Hurricane Milton. I mean, not hurricanes, tornadoes.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
What did I say hurricanes?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Oh, with all the tornadoes that spawned it's I think
Florida with Hurricane Milton, set a record for second most
tornadoes to like I think it was tornadoes or tornado warnings.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Or something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It was like one hundred and twenty six to hit.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, and it happens like all at one, and there
was like a map. As soon as I got home yesterday,
I turned on the local Orlando news and I was
watching it all night.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
And they were showing how'd you do that? I have
Live TV on Prime and.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You can just be like, I want to watch Orlando
TV now.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
No, I just I just went through the guide, like
the channels, Oh nice, okay, and the Orlando. I initially
was looking for like the weather channel. I'm like, for sure,
the Weather Channel's got to be on here.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Instead I found local. There's like a small section of
news station's news channels, and one of them was a
local station in Orlando. It probably was because of the hurricane.
They knew people wanted to tune in and watch. I
think one was like Tampa, one was Orlando, and then
(16:50):
and then a local I think a local Sacramento news here,
and then there's like local news Chicago, LA, like all that. Anyway,
So I was watching the Orlando news station. They had
the state with sections of the state like glowing and
color coded based on who got actual tornadoes that touchdown,
(17:11):
who just had tornado warnings, who just had.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
What's the other one you get? I think alert?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Okay, so different scales of advisory.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, there's one because I used to get I had
to get this explained to me when I lived in Nashville,
because I thought every tornado alert we got meant that
there was a fucking tornado coming, and I used to
freak out, and they're like no, no, No. One of
them just means that that there could be a tornado.
Another one means that a tornado has touched down in
(17:44):
the area. I think that one's like tornado alert means
like there is an active tornado like that that touchdown.
And then you get the alerts that are like take cover,
take cover. Those ones are fucking scary anyways.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Right, you just get a tornado alert right now? No.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I got a text from every time we're podcasting or
doing something in the studio and I get a text
from our boss. Like I immediately stop talking because I'm like,
oh my god, we're live.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, I hate doing it in this studio, just because
I don't like doing it in the studio.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Oh weird. Okay, uh yeah, I forgot what we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
But anyways, well, Florida being Florida, how many people think
how many people you think took that opportunity to be
like I'm skipping town, I'm going to disappear, like the
cops are after me, or like i want to divorce
my wife, or like I'm in debt, Like I'm gonna
use this natural disaster as a way to like go
(18:45):
off the grid or move or just like because I said,
a lot of people did that when nine to eleven happened,
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Started a new life. Really yeah yeah, I mean obviously
these are lumbers and labors.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
They faked their death and then went off a started
a new life.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, for whatever they were running from. They're like, all right,
look there's a lot of people missing. I'm just gonna
be one of them, and I'm gonna peace out.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I never thought about doing that.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, I always think about that when I'm either in
New York or when the anniversary comes up, I'm like,
I wonder how many people because I used to watch
so many nine eleven documentaries and they would always bring
that up, like, yeah, people took that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
So with Florida, how many people you think took that
opportunity to be like, all right, cool, I'm out, Like
they're gonna think I got swept away.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Or I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I never thought about.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
That, Yeah, and it bugged me.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Like the looters, a lot of people go in like, hey,
this whole neighborhood's evacuated, I'm gonna go in and start looting.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
But don't you think people would have seen, like if
someone was going to fake their death, Yeah, I think
if they were skipping town to do that, they would
have been seen leaving town via neighbors or whatever, you
(20:06):
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Middle of the night storm watch everybody's But I.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Just don't it would not have been possible to leave, Like,
if you were gonna do that, you would have to
literally wait until the last minute when the storm is
actively happening, Yeah, then go out and leave town. And
I just don't think that something like that would would
be actually actually possible. It's probably you would probably actually die.
You wouldn't have to fake your death, you'd be dead.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, it's probably so hard now to go off the
grid like back in the day, like cowboys and Indian
like cowboy westerns, you'd be like, I'm just gonna get
on my horse and go to the next town.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Like that's it, Like nobody knows me, Like nobody commutes.
There's no social media over there, like insaid, like you
don't like back in the day, you wouldn't go from
like Sacramento to San Francisco, or like even Sacramento to Roseville.
You just like you live here and that's it. You
don't commute.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
But if I wanted to, like to start a new life,
I get on my horse.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Right, you're gonna go across the river to West Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Who are you, Bob Smith?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Just cat here?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You just moved intown looking for work.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Oh, would you like to be a We have an
opening for a saloon manager.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Done build the railroad. Nuts I've got I've got this
one TikTok video that's kind of long.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I might I've been keeping it for a while. I
might wait for the next podcast. It's about a ghost
plane or the sleepy stickers. Have you heard about the
sleepy stickers?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
These? These two teachers are getting fired for it.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
You want to do that?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Okay, here we go, so let me play a little bit.
Here we go. This was a new I saw this
on TikTok. It was a news story.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I think I cut this part off that two teachers
and two teacher aides are put on leave.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Already ready know what this is about? Yeah, you do.
What do you think is about? Because I've never heard
of these things until.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Now, I don't I don't know what sleepy stickers are?
Uh huh, but hearing that it's teachers. If I had
to guess what the story was about, they were probably
dosing the kids with melatonin.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, to put.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Them to sleep so that they wouldn't have to deal
with them throughout the day. Because they are not the
first teachers to do this.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I've never heard of this. Really. I don't have any kids,
so I'm not involved in like the school stuff. So
here we go.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
So, if you're a controller, oh.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's the ghost plane. Sorry, here we go, sleepy stickers?
What happened with the sticks?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Thick milk?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
So the reporter is talking to she's gotta be first
grader or kindergarten or something like that.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Super young.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
What happened with the sticks thick milk sleep This is
four year old Lane?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Movie on four four year old?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
The sticker makes me fast kindergarten?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Is it really easy?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
She's the one that broke this case open and so
Jim free k Actually when she snuck one of her
sleepy stickers out of the classroom.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
So they showed it and it was a square. They
kept showing it on this news. It's a square and.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
It looked, you know, it was blue like the night
sky and then think it had like a had a
moon or a star on it, something like that.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
So what the melotonin patches or something.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Something like that.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So she snuck one home from school because apparently the
teachers give him out during school.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
She kind of pulled up her little shorts and said, mom,
look this is my slipping sticker.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
I was like the wood.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
When Lane's mom, Lisa saw the sticker, she thought it
was strange and asked her daughter about it.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
And the teacher gives it to you where she put
it Mary on my arm. Teacher puts it on my arm,
on your arm.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Lane's dad says he's known something was wrong since school
first started.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Here we go two o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
I'm hearing her the some noise in the room, and
I'm going over there.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
She's stilled love and so she gives you the sticker.
You put the sticker on and it makes you tired. Yeah, wow,
And all.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
The kids get him.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
They never notified the parents.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
So Lisa took matters into her own hands. She reached
out to the other parents in Lane's class, sent them
pictures of the patch.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Can you imagine that group chat like with all the
other parents like, Hey.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
It's funny because I feel like if my kid would
have been like, it's my sleepy sticker, huh, and showed
me a sticker that they had on their arm or
something with stars and a moon on it, I'd be like, oh, yeah,
like good night stickers or something. I would I don't
know if I would have put two and two together. Yeah,
I would have thought that they were just calling get
(24:25):
a sleepy sticker because the sticker looks like bedtime or something.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Sure to see if their kids were getting the stickers too.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I showed it to my four year old and she said, yes,
that's that's the sleepy sticker.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Melissa Gilford immediately went online to research the sticker.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Here's what it is, sleep Ze patch and if you
read the ingredients on them, and it has a lot
of things I've never even heard of. And they've given
them drugs and make them sleep to keep them quiet.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Najalla Abdollah tells US she'd noticed changes in her son,
who told her he'd been getting the stickers too. She
says he'd been crying, stopped eating, and was bringing home
lunches that he hadn't.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
It's a mess. It's a messive with these kids.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
I'm gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I want these sleep sleep sticks now.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
They received from Northgate Crossing Elementaries Principle today. The email
states two of the school staff members were put on
leave after they allegedly administered sleeping supplements to students on
September twenty fourth. The email also states this spring Id
Police Department is investigated.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
All right, So yeah, sensor real asha.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Ganda, Okay, melatonin of course I knew it had melatonin
in the tops, Valerian roots Okay, and more. Yeah, they're
so they're doping these kids up. Okay, take a nap,
but do you remember nap time in kindergarten though, do
you remember that doing nap time you just lay on
the floor and teach. You would turn the lights off. Yeah,
So being Devil's advocate, what's the difference, it's just like
(25:51):
a forced nap time. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
The difference is that maybe they're not supposed to have naps.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Too young for melatonin? Also, isn't that supposed to be
like a certain age's four?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
And sometimes with pre K sometimes it's not a full day,
sometimes it's like a half day. And if the teachers
are just making these kids go to sleep as soon
as they walk in there or something like, it's clearly
because they don't want to fucking deal with them.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Sure, so I'll just knock them out.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
You know, it might be funny. You get a couple
of those and then you like slowly put them on
people at work, like you like you pat them on
the back, like.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Hey man, good to see you slap it on the
back of their necks and they don't know, they like,
I'll come by later, Hey, I shake their hand and
like put it on their wrists or something like that.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So they got like three or four like z patches.
I'm really drowning go by. They're snoozing on their desk.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
You know what happened.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Actually, my son went to a sketchy daycare daycare pre
k uh huh. It came recommended from one of my coworkers,
and I went one time in the middle the day
to pay, like the tuition. Yeah, And so the front
(27:06):
of the class the front of the building was like
the smaller kids classroom, and then there was an older
kid's back classroom in the back, and so my son
was in with the older kids. I think it the
it was like a grade school age level, and then
the kids in the front were like toddler pre ka.
I remember I walked in one day to pay the tuition,
(27:29):
and then they were having lunch, and I remember looking
at their lunch plates and seeing that they were eating like.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I forgot.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
It was like pieces of bread and like a slice
of cheese and like some cracker like it was like weird,
some like really like this is what you're feeding them
type shit? Okay, And the teacher, I can't The teacher
saw me. I didn't say anything, but she saw me
(27:59):
looking at their plates and then glancing back down because
at the front, taped to the railing had the menu
for the week.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
So she saw me looking at what they were eating
and looking at the men and the menu was like
chicken nuggets, pizza.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Fruit, and I'm glancing back and forth. Didn't say anything,
but I just like made a mental note like, Okay,
that's not what the fuck they're eating z patches, right,
And so, like Jelani gets home or I pick him up,
and I'm like, I'm like, oh, whatd you have for
lunch today? Like I started asking him yeh every day
for the next like maybe I don't know a few
(28:36):
days sure what he was eating, to see if it
was matching the menu. But what I noticed, what I
thought was funny was the next day when I went
to go pick him up, after I noticed what they
were eating did not match what was on the menu.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
The menu that was taped to the front was gone.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh so she sought.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
She took that ship off and was like uh oh.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And now real quick, was this a daycare? That was all?
It was like a house. You just dropped them off
at a house.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Well it was uh. It was in the Nashville and
a lot of the a lot of the businesses and
buildings and places all looked like houses. It wasn't in
a residential area.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Okay, but it did look like a house, all right, because.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Those used to be all over San Jose. Like it
would be I know it's talking about, Yeah, it'd be
a House'd be like, this is a jeweler is it?
This is a daycare? And then this is like.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Bob who lives at eleven fifteen Main Street. It's like
and everybody would convert their houses into daycare.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
It looks like a house, but it wasn't in a
residential area. But I remember that happening, and I told
my coworker about it, and then I actually became friends
with my son's teacher. Okay, she was she was younger,
(29:58):
she was a listener. We were like friends on Instagram
and Snapchat and like she would always come by the
tailgate during homecoming weekend and like come hang out and
talk to me whatever and.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Like shoot the shit. So I was like cool with her,
and I like asked her. I'm like.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Told her what happened, and I'm like, so, like, what's
going on in there? And she was like she was like, girl,
we're supposed to like we're supposed to be using the
kitchen and there's supposed to be like the oven don't
even work in there, and like they don't. She don't
want to spend the money to fix it. She gets
she gets all this money from tuition and money from the.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
State, Yeah, for for all.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
These kids, and that's what she feeds them. And she's like,
she's like, it's it's a money thing, like like, of course,
I make sure Jelanne's taken care of because like me
and you were cool or whatever, and you know, I
do my best with what we're given. But like we
can't say anything because then she'll just fire us. And yeah,
it was bad, and I told my coworker, and I
(31:02):
think we ended up leaving shortly after that anyways, But yeah,
I think she ended up. I don't think she's still there.
I think she like ended up closing down probably. But
ever since then, it's it's like little things like that
that made me. When I would look into daycares like
I would, I would start asking like different questions and
(31:25):
like I knew, uh what I what I should be
asking and what I should be looking out for.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
And I would always be like, hey, where do you
make your food? Let me go look at your kitchen,
like smart, what do you guys, do what do you
have in there to cook?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Like?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
What do these kids eat?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
So but yeah, that was really that was just like
really fucked up to me because I'm like, damn, like,
I'm trusting you to take care of my kid and
you're fucking feeding him pieces of cheese for lunch, like
bro what.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
And paying five hundred dollars a fucking week for this?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah? Like hell no, hell nah. All right, that's the podcast.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'm gonna hold off this ghost ghost plane for next
time because it's a.
