Airplane Peanut Etiquette, Fisting Nuts
A host describes a "nasty" habit observed on airplanes where passengers shake a fistful of peanuts to eat them one by one. The description, jokingly referred to as "fisting," is presented as a highly annoying social behavior that the host and his wife frequently mock while traveling.
Joshua Parker, Mic Bumping and Roman Stands
Joshua Parker asked if John C. Dvorak's frequent mic bumping was a "bit." The host clarified that it was not a bit, but rather a result of a "filthy" and "leaning" mic stand that was supposedly "made in Rome" and had Latin on it. The host admitted the bumping was "super annoying" but unavoidable given the ancient equipment and room setup.
San Jose Coach Arrest, Child Molestation, Annoying a Child
A middle school PE teacher and coach in San Jose, identified as Papadakis, has been arrested on charges of child molestation and possession of child pornography. The investigation began after students reported "suspicious behavior" involving the coach taking photos of female students. The hosts highlight the unusual legal charge of "annoying a child" included in the arrest record.
A Marist College poll identifying the most annoying words of the year is discussed. "Whatever" took the top spot for the eighth consecutive year, followed by "no offense," "you know," "I can't even," and "huge." The hosts add their own annoying phrases, including "fact of the matter" and "at the end of the day."
