cool that you guys at a wedding my cousin's wedding you know Hamburg California quasi celebrity at a wedding there with you things over there you got you got recognized to write a devil as a devil's game a couple weeks ago yeah there you go it's hat it's all happening so yeah is if it's like our almost famous moments all come to this it's all don't ask a wedding hence the title of the program it's all come to this yeah I really enjoyed doing this man I mean unless Shoshoni like I'm I joke around a lot but when it when I'm at weddings it's all seriousness Oh your business is usually yeah man I think I'm gonna try to make a side business out of officiating weddings sure if anyone wants to fly me out to say a few words at your wedding be happy to do so for a small fee for a small fee and room and board yeah that that's it and at least one or two bridesmaids I was gonna say in a date to the wedding yeah yeah you know just give this guy some smorgasbord needs yeah um let's get into some of the stories of the day yeah apparently New York thieves are now targeting victims with beats by dr. dre headphones yeah good is what I have to say after this you deserve it yeah police sources are ya saying that you know formerly that thieves were sort of targeting like ipod the news where all the white heads right because that was indicated that you're a smart phone in your pocket me or i would a dollar device right now they're more ostentatious they're wearing their five-hundred-dollar accessories on their head right and obviously the beats by dre are really recognizable they have that giant be on the side and they all look the same um you know there's different models of the beats by dre now the studios are four hundred ninety nine bucks and so you know like if you steal those they have a pretty high resale value for slaughter kid afterward I don't know if you remember but last year we actually reported on a similar story i believe it was in manhattan where a new york police busted a huge like counterfeit ring of the beats by dre i don't know i don't know that that's crazy yeah yeah so they were fake which means that you know maybe don't buy them secondhand core don't buy them at all don't well look I'm not happy that these people are getting robbed even worse that they can't even hear the thieves coming up to them because they have the music playing so like I have such amazing bass there's nothing there's no distinct you know a ability to distinguish you know danger right from from you know safety yeah i also want to mention the very out of touch headline every thug has his Dre that's insanely out of touch Thank You New York why that attention seems out of touch like out what is the one what is M is I mean everything has his day no no it's a reference to a track on the other touch one yeah play what yeah um every thug ha has it needs a lady i think it's called okay that is not the that is not what the headlines going after yeah every thug needs a ladies in alkaline trio song yet no thats its also ja Rule song and I think this one's in reference I think they're I think are we gonna friggin pick apart I think the headline means every thug has his day oh my state court or something I thought it was at every thug needs a lady the ja Rule song no that's Tom I think you're taking way too much chef freedom there every dog has its day ok the doctor Dre song right all right I don't know point of referencing something in a headline is that needs like universal recognition and its or it has something to do with the topic at hand guy middle is enough rap music we do not hear you why do I believe it's called every dog is dead pretty sure I leave to pack sling this song i believe to pack share some doctor said it I believe my doctor what exactly is he a doctor of the doctor rhyming man he's a doctor oh man anyway the point is just don't buy these dr dre headphones you could spend less get better sound and you won't get ripped off when you're waiting on the subway line I didn't realize that i just find it kind of interesting that they're going after people with these headphones yeah how does that robbery work how does it take place all will apparently there was one story about a guy waiting on the subway platform and someone just literally snatched them off his head yeah and ran up the stairs what it is in a language usually connected to something you know yeah those things are disconnected in the disconnect maybe they should start targeting people will like looking at ipads and whatnot yeah i mean though the light seems like a better you know smash-and-grab sort of job right that's why the ipad tether on kickstarter is gaining traction the old ipad chastity beta that'll be our garrison lanyard I like that the handcuff uh there's a really interesting piece from mental floss calm apparently sixty percent of people cannot go ten minutes without lying yeah I just believe the crap out of this story this woman is lying fifty percent of the time it works one hundred percent of time that's what I thought whatever though this headline but yeah this is a story at a mental floss really cool blog you can learn a lot from it I check it every day but this is talking about a couple different stories about lying um its sights one University of Massachusetts study that says sixty percent of adults can't even have a ten-minute conversation without lying at least once now a lie can vary from a fib little white lie right to a huge massive cover-up yeah you know that story I told earlier about the guy recognized me at the wedding lie no yeah you're lying you sure know that's a lie to you anymore Todd's with Miami might well I'm on my ass but I still would you prefer you not to lie to me and I was like you but you have no idea how much I do actually no I know how much you love you are a filthy liar I'm letting go into the bathroom in those bathroom breaks I'm just going outside and looking around he's in a walk you're going out just for the hell of it by eight the article says by age four ninety percent of children have grasped the concept of lying it just gets worse from there yeah that is crazy right uh so I mean let's be honest let's maybe go around the room do you what kind of Lies do you find yourself telling oh how do I tell lies about and and who are you lying to I don't lie to anybody you are so full of crap yeah what you lied to I'd lie to everybody I know yeah I'm about what no I was the biggest lie you've ever told ever told anything alike uh you know like about your skills or your health maybe in college I like lied my way through a course ah so let me ask you this um this also talks about how uh seventy percent of people have told lies on their resumes I uh have you ever done that I more I have not given why I mean you'll have to say that like you went to Harvard University I'm but have you ever lied about embellished yeah like about what your day-to-day activities maybe words like you know and I think meetings that's just PR that did that that's just called advertising the iphone ads are lies right you know it's just advertising Samuel Jackson does even have an iphone not alone a temper as what you would deal with Syrian said you wanna make a spot you know why telling his face off at that thing right you know I hope they die and they burned in him that's what he'd be saying I like how you view for mised lie to PR it's what it was market but it's true that's what it is advertising don't you think at the whole and I I know we're really just biting the hand that feeds us here but all advertising is primarily is designed to deceive you right is it not yeah I guess so I've noticed an outbreak of people lying about their Instagram photos saying that they've taken pictures but they actually found them online sent them to their phone and then uploaded that picture purposing as their own meaning that they had taken it that is such a low lie though that is such a a bottom of the barrel lie I've done that before you what well you know like not that I was a claiming it as my own there a phone I just didn't say like hashtag stolen which isn't lying it's just withholding the truth I don't you believe everything you see on the internet but that's your bed you never to be I don't know if I could trust you anymore that's streaming I'm not on it anyway that's why cuz it's filled with liars yeah like yourself what's up blogs work no one has original content online anyway why should I translate to a nap but I do think a lot of I definitely I feel like I'm really good at that sort of sniffing out people who lie well this is saying that people that's good at sniffing are sniffers themselves they're saying that if you you're good at lying if you get a technical I that means you're a liar well yeah maybe or no or at least it it it sort of denotes that you yourself are you know skilled in that like you you could I could get away with it if I want a lot all the time you know I think there's something there's honesty is a good sort of virtue it's a good characteristic to have you're saying that you're good at telling tales are good at nesting hello we're full of crap and how can you do that I just is something about I don't know maybe you were like interrogation tactics were you like looking up to see if no not looking too I see if they're like accessing their that's a lot it's a it's a lot of stuff yeah it's just the way people handle themselves right uh you know on the other side of the spectrum I'm not very good at poker and you would think I should be good at poker if I could tell whether or not people alike but it's just inhuman conversation social interaction I just you ever get that feeling that sort of six cents that pops up it was like I think this guy's foolish yeah you know but hey you know like ya ever have that yeah yeah yeah I have a video time is it with me on ya always yo they know this going back to the study it's also talking about how the majority of lies are obviously told online because there's no way you can verify it easier and the biggest place online that people tell lies is facebook dating I was okay yeah only dating websites so they're talking about how women lie the most on online dating websites about their weight yeah um which i think is like pretty standard across sure whatever you know is about their weight correlated do they I don't do you lie about your weight know if anything you add pounds is gonna say yeah I actually say that I'm a hundred and fifty pounds how much you really wet buck ten know you're full of crap homeless gay I'm 140 okay five so that's fine yeah I understand some people may be wanting to keep themselves below that dreaded 200 mark oh right which I always flirt with seemingly on a monthly basis depends depends on how the mood strikes me so women lie about their weight men lie about their how much money they may yes exactly how'd you know that cuz amelie don't have well I'm good at detecting lies okay I'm telling you man whenever I meet a new person my first instinct is to sniff them out as a as a genuine or disingenuous person huh and then I that's my first judge of character right and I can utter look me I'm not saying I'm right I'm just saying I believe that I can do this yeah how do you know how accurate your I don't know pests are because maybe some comedies these wild are you calling them out on their loss sometimes I'll know for like they'll they'll sort of show their hand you know later on say something that I know is most certainly false right but they seem to believe as fact uh and then sometimes I'll sort of like uh you know do a little recon after the fact you know with the person that may be introduced them ah hey what's the deal with that but like I don't know he says a lot of stuff I don't know if he's telling the truth all the time I lie about this show a lot when people ask me how the show's doing see the show it's doing great we have three million listeners every day the show I like that yeah I like stuff that's just completely off the totally off the charts people like more viewers than David Letterman yeah let you take euless David Letterman wants to be on are seriously um here's an interesting piece that came by over the weekend i came across rather it talks about this really unbelievable sort of promotion that american airlines tried to do back in nineteen eighty one it was called the all-you-can-eat lifetime free a lifetime first-class ticket okay so think about it so right now here now you have an idea 30 years ago american airlines so to be a good idea to offer a first-class ticket with an unlimited usage policy so you could use a first class ticket fly as much as you want in 1981 it debuted at a quarter million dollars Wow okay the last one ever offered but not sold was in 0 for x in the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog priced at a very fair three million dollars Wow purchasers could also buy companion tickets that they could use to fly anyone along with them now here's where it gets interesting the men who bought these tickets and we're talking about the tickets that were sold in the 80s or 90s whenever it was the men who bought these tickets and the article only calls them then which is also interesting went a little crazy they started flying everywhere all the time would they pick random people out of checking lines and give them free first class upgrades they'd fly to Japan for lunch and back to the states that night one of them was costing the airline more than a million dollars a year that is when the airline's decided to get rid of them but uh well there's a philanthropic element to this tutor is he was to uh I guess a story was talking about that same guy would give away his frequent flyer miles that he had a group that was the thing they were giving to 80 was offers but they were giving frequent flyer miles on my op on top of that free it was this never-ending slippery slope why would you do that if they just purchased a never-ending first-class ticket the hell do they need these miles for right right that doesn't sound like fun either I mean a trip to Japan takes like 12 13 hours more right where you are crazy this is a really interesting read we highly suggest checking it out we'll throw it in the rundown but you know what airlines are still doing this I remember we get all you can eat yeah first class all you can on first class but remember we actually gave away a JetBlue pass right that gave you unlimited access to anywhere jetblue flies for like a month that success was it all month or one trip it was a full month it's still not gonna put a that's not seven hundred dollar package or whatever meany on for that give away things all offered it I also think it was like the continental United States right over there are a lot of different lot of little caveats and variables that you had abide by yeah but the isness i love interesting stuff it's by love boing boing i love they always have such interesting pieces you know offbeat sort of off the beaten path to herself see I thought from when you posted this title this headline in the rundown I thought it meant that you could fly anywhere you want and eat as much as you want while you were on the plane you thought that yeah like a buffet I thought like airlines are those are the ground yeah yeah that sounded like a kind of a good you fed mess yeah imagine if it just had like a buffet line sure yeah that's great oh yeah that's why I'm getting on this plane to eat the food yeah what a devil may be king of airplanes I want to bring this up real quick as guy goes by the name of think his name is Dan pink okay it's not in the run or anything I'm just gonna tell the story talking he's a guy who flies around a lot he says on a plane at least once a week says keep getting sick once the doctors like why am I getting sick is like you travel out his again once a week he was getting sick all the time he has just disclosed a very interesting tactic to use to avoid getting sick you and I are gonna have to were traveling a little this summer yeah going to comic-con yeah where I'm going to e3 a lot going on right yeah yeah so he says the thing to do is all you need is a tuba bacitracin you know what that yes and a Purell hand sanitizer right okay you put the hand sanitizer on and then you take bacitracin and you literally like put you put it in your notes in your nostril the bass situation changes rub it around you just go to town okay bacitracin is kind of like a Vaseline it took an antibacterial it's a little gross substance it's al it's gross yeah all right you rub that all in there you do it with the other nostril he said since he's been doing it he has not caught a cold from a plane in two years because he can't smell anything no because he says what it does it's sort of like protects your nostrils from from sort of harboring these germs that love to live on airplanes airplanes are incubation chamber right for diseases like sick babies this is disgusting and then all this recycled air it's just so much oh my god feel when I automated at vegas for CES i sat next to this disgusting mess you got me sick I was so mad just go for the bacitracin in the nostrils it's free advice internet yeah I'd buy it sure did you told him to do this his doctor really yeah he's like I'm gonna let it let you guys in on a little tip isn't that interesting also where dishwasher gloves when you're the court well that goes without saying touch anything just just abort it in the board the plane in hazmat suit yeah that's fine no one's gonna say anything actually try that I'm definitely doing it for these key trips I'm really gross though you have like this not like just gonna do it in now dude in like the bathroom or something okay you know you gotta do what you gotta do man will try that and then we'll need to take a picture of us both with basket arizona / news it'll be disgusting yeah great more 404 right over this stick around this is the 404 mr effers the show where we all sing songs
