I kick off my stacks of, has anyone here ever heard of a smile ball? No.

2:00A smile ball. Sounds fun. Scientists in Japan have created an onion that doesn't make your eyes water when it's chopped. It's called the smile ball. But sadly, it's showing up in the American market under the name Goldies. I don't know what that said. But I wouldn't want to eat it just because that means there was chemicals involved to take out the smell. Yeah. Get us did a profile at a guy Malaysia who holds the record for the most teeth. He's got 42 teeth. Ten more than the average adult he says, flossing is a real pain. Oh my God. I wonder if that's like the next evolution. I don't know, but Rich has got giant teeth. Thank you. A 35 year old inmate Florida is facing serious jail time. After leaving a work assignment last Wednesday to get it on with a woman in a porta potty. It is. Even leaving for a few minutes count as an escaped attempt. But the guy was like, going to get some action. No. No. I mean, I wonder how he pulled that off. That's just a pass. A pass all the way around.

3:00Yeah, but if he's like whatever you're doing on the work assignment, if you're making a license plate and some girls like, Hey, you want to go on the porch on? Yeah, that's good. It's the porta job. Still. It says a lot about the girl too. There's nowhere more less romantic than a porta job. Nowhere. So there's a site called the conversation. They did a story on how adults who, quote, play are happier, healthier and less stressed. It's more about attitude than specific activities. You look for any and all chances to connect with your inner child, inner child stuff. This was in the news. I saw this the other day. A rich, a Russian man. He had to go to work, leave the city. And he left the window to his apartment open. He went for work for three years on the site. He came back the whole house because he left the window open. It was packed with pigeons, thousands of pigeons. Oh, no. Also, this part, I saw this too. This really irritated me. There's this guy, a popular YouTuber. He had a bunch of backlash because he was like said he was stranded in Singapore during the, during the, because of the conflict that I ran. And he's like, I can't get out.

4:01I'm stuck. And everybody was like, oh, I'm feeling bad for him. But he just didn't want to fly first class. He only wanted to fly first class. There are plenty of seats available everywhere else, but he would only fly first class. Rude. We are stranded in Asia like tens of thousands. Our flights have been canceled by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. There are people all over the world impacted. There are a few seats on some days in economy, but even those are selling fast. So the amount of backup options that you'll have at the last minute will be virtually non-existent, meaning that you're trapped. I'm getting really unpleasant flashbacks to the beginning of COVID. Meanwhile, he could have just bought a ticket. He's like, yeah, it's going to take like an extra 10 minutes to get drinks if I fly a coach. That's ridiculous. Did you guys see the Southwest Airlines thing that happened? What? Yeah, scared me. I was about to get, yeah, I was about to get on the Southwest flight when I saw this and it freaked me out where there was some sort of bomb threat. And it was funny because I was trying to understand.

5:02They were saying heads down, hands up. And some people put their phones down and put the camera angle up. And they were down with their hands like this. And I don't know who was saying that, but here's what happened. Who's chanting that? I don't know. That sounds like. Yeah, I was on the plane and it turned out it was a false alarm, but so wow. I saw a video that was like two rows in front of the guy they pulled off and arrested. And I was like, wow. And then they let him go. To be right in the heart of that. Where was the mix up that? What was the misunderstanding? Flight out of Nashville before Lauderdale had emergency landing in Atlanta due to security scare. The flight attendants tell everybody on board heads down and hands up. An armed guard rushed down the aisle and pulled a guy out of his seat. The interview to the pastor found no credible threat. It all appeared to stem from a pastor reading text over someone's shoulder. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. You got to be careful when you're writing.

6:03Yeah. Oh, I was thinking about the girl. I'm like, was she like racial profiling? Like, what was she doing? Like, I didn't even think about what the guy was texting. How do you know it was a girl? I don't know. I just, I don't know. Well, speaking of traveling, there's a website called UnclaimedBaggage.com. They shared this annual list of weird things people lost from their luggage last year. These are some of the weirdest ones, like a pionic knee. Well, meteorite, gold-plated golf clubs, a beekeeping outfit, a matching pair of samurai swords, one ounce gold bar worth several thousand dollars. How do you leave that there? That'd be heavy, too. A set of girls made with diamonds and ten-cared gold. Oh, my God. The kind you see, Kanye or Post Malone wearing to fit over your teeth. Wow. Oh, I bet you they took it out to eat the snack. And a fully assembled robot. It doesn't look human. More like legs with a box on top. They think it was maybe for research or some sort of a duck. You know, I think that was from Nellis. Remember Nellis told us they got some robot. Yeah. They haven't shipped back. Yeah. Anyway, what do you have for Lifehack's rich? Gas is going up.

7:03You've seen it, right? You've seen it at the pump. And I don't know who in this room needs to hear this. But this is the way that you can save actual money at the pump. And it matters more than like driving slow, more than tire pressure. John Jay, do you have any hoodies in here at the back of your car? I have a whole bunch of hoodies in my car and in my back seat. Kyle, you have any shoes clothes at all? I do. Water bottles. Yeah. If your trunk has things like gym bags, shoes, old boxes, dresses, hoodies, golf clubs, tools, random stuff, you're literally burning gas to carry that around because you don't think about it because individually, not that big of a deal. But overall, those things can weigh up to 50 to 100 pounds, which means your fuel efficiency drops by like an extra percent per every hundred pounds. So now, if you're paying for gas, don't pay it a whole bunch of stuff that you don't need. Unload it and get gas mileage that is better while the prices are up a little bit.

8:03This is Chelsea. Hannah from Dear Chelsea. After the big game like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials. And there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance against hate. And it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself. But the impact is still huge. If you saw the Blue Square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that. Peace to the planet. Shalom in to God here. And listen. We are back. The Black Effect podcast festival is back in Atlanta on April 25th at Pullman Yacht. Yeah. And the full lineup is nuts.
