Joe Praino on Grifters & Fire Hydrants

[@jerrypowers7671]

Adam, I'm an old white guy and I've listened to my low battery smoke detector go for hours. It was due to a real cripple conundrum. I'm in a Wheelchair and i couldn't reach the detector to replace the battery so after many hours i figured out a way to stop it. I grabbed a broom handle and swung at it like a battery powered pinata. I eventually knocked it down and sent it flying across my living room. My struggle is real!

Love the rant about women bring home the bacon, as someone who happily supported a stay at home wife, I came home to no dinner on the table, but a garage full of boxes from her daily trips to the mall. Bad memories, I picked the wrong partner in life. My reward was an expensive divorce settlement.

No kidding, my mom was a Harper Valley PTA-type floozy, and I was flunking gym class because I refused to change in the locker room 😂, so she went on a date with Mr. Schumer the gym teacher and she convinced him to pass me with a D. Then on the second date, she wouldn't sleep with him so he gave me an F, and they wouldn't let me graduate in cap and gown AND I wasn't allowed to buy a yearbook. Had to go to summer school for stupid gym class to get my diploma, but all we did was sit around and goof off in a classroom while the summer school teacher napped. Ah, the salad days 😂 High school blows, I hated everyone, everyone hated me, and 40 years later, I still hate them, and I can't remember a single lesson public school ever taught me besides HOMESCHOOL YOUR KIDS.

Adam forgot his fender bender that he told us about when he said he rear-ended a woman making a left turn because she chickened out when the light turned so they were both stuck in the middle of traffic. It worries me because Adam said this on the radio and now he's saying he never had any kind of accident.

[@lftr_react]

When they got on the topic of grifters Praino claimed that there are grifters on the Right and gave an example of a sportscaster (?) that is 'falsely' claiming that the NBA is losing money. This spun me out because I've been hearing for years that they are losing money. So, a quick talk with AI and... the NBA is 100% losing money year after year. Nearly half of the teams are operating at a deficit. Although, the NBA DID report their highest viewer share in 20 years from the 2022-2023 season. So maybe Praino's guy IS a grifter after all. But then I asked AI how the NBA calculated their numbers for which it couldn't determine and then admitted that the number is a completely internal calculation from the NBA. I was willing to forgive that but then I remembered that statistical anomalies that are observed within a large historical set are always attributed to an equally anomalous cause. Which is to say, when you get a sudden dramatic change after a long period of time, you will have an equally dramatic cause which is, therefore, easy to spot. When I asked AI what the anomalous cause was, it again did not have an answer. (Points to invalid cause by the way. Such as data manipulation, you know, just as a for instance.) So, Praino, while I couldn't get certain specific answers, we did answer the big question... Reporting that the NBA is losing money is, uh, not a grift.

Adam brings up a good point about the tweekers stealing Fire Hydrants. Where are they fencing them? Being involved in tne metal industry I know for a fact metal scrap yards won't accept materials that are obviously stolen. That and a Fire Hydrant housing is Cast Iron of little value. Maybe the inner valve is Brass? That would be the only thing worth much.

Adam, you were a bigger goof off in high school than I was...wasn't sure that was possible (also flunked driver's ed the first time...ended up leaving high school a semester early by passing the equivalency exam, which I didn't even finish...lol).

This may be the reason some people can’t sleep because of their smoke detectors. My friend lives in low income housing.

If a light bulb, or battery needs replacing she is to call the building Super. He has to do it for her.

LOL - at 1:37:40 you talk about the Gold Wing and dropping it. When I was in 5th or 6th grade me and three friends were sitting at the bus stop. A guy drove up with his giant GoldWing motorcycle in the parking lot behind us. He put out the kick stand and started to tilt it, but the kick stand snapped back up and he dropped it. He walked over and asked us to help him lift it. On three we lifted it and were too energetic and it flipping onto the other side. He thanked us and said he will take care of it.
