We are Franjula and welcome to idiot of the week. Micro-Idiot. First, just our way of saying thank you for being a Patreon friend. So, thank you. Thanks. This idiot is from Laura F. Title is I'm lucky to be alive after sustaining car crash injuries tripping over my cat. Now, if you don't have a cat, stay out, stay out, stay out the game. Well, look, I don't have a cat, but I have a dog, Twombly, who likes to run around and in between your feet, like a figure eight when you walk on the stairs. It's a hobby. Yes, yes. So, I do know what that's like. Yes, yes, and I'm going to tell you something. This is the wonderful thing about Twombly, okay? When Twombly has tried to trip me in the past, right? I can see it. I know that that's happening. He's yippin', he's yappin', he's doggin', right? No, no, no, cats are stealthy ninjas who are come to kill you in the night, okay? Okay, here we go. Why do people have cats? Because, okay, let me tell you something. Okay, let's talk about the familiar. You just call them stealthy, murderous ninjas. But they're loving their bed warmers, okay? Are you sure? Because it's like, okay, well, let's start. Let's start, let's start, we can talk about it, we can talk about it. Okay, a UK man miraculously. What miraculously in cat. Oh, that's so fucking scary. It's the miracle to walk around your own house on injured. That shouldn't be hysterical. But you know what you're taking your fucking chances with a cat, and I'm telling you, anybody who owns a cat fucking knows it. He survived after he miraculously survived their sustaining a broken neck. Fractured, she's fine, smashed ribs, blood in his lungs, and other quote, car crash evoking injuries from what? Wait for it, tripping over his cat. He's, uh, his name is Chris Rowley, 59. This is a quote I can't remember much, just falling fast. It was quick and it was over within seconds, then I was at the bottom. It took a bit of a chunk out of my leg when I lost my footing. Yes, the cat bit him as he was walking down a stairs, right? Yeah, it's being called the apocalypse meow accident, right? And this is not with the puns, please. I know, I know. He's a professional musician who was home alone with his hairless, Egyptian stinks kitten. Let's stop there. Okay. Its name is Eric Morecambi. Maybe it's pissed about its name. Yes, also you got, you got an Egyptian spinks. All right, that's cursed. It's a kitten too. And it's a kitten. You got to be careful about your familiars. All way. I'm, I'm just saying. So I don't understand this sentence as a cat owner, help me with this. Disaster struck after the kitty apparently feeling playful, dove out and latched onto one of his owner's legs while he was coming down the stairs. Is that playful? Yeah, that's what we call assault. I mean, bizzle how you want to do it. Well, if I jumped out at you, Francis, it bit your leg would, and then when I'm playing, would you, would you go, Angela just, she, she feeling playful. Is that your nature? Is that, would that be your nature? Is that how you do it? Is that how, is that, is that, is that what you would, you would say? So apparently this story is so much worse than you even realize. Okay. Cause this, okay. So basically the cat takes a chunk out of his leg. He then falls down 14 steps. Why is it the bottom where he was unable to move? Because he's broken his spine, his neck, his head, and he's bleeding profusely from the head. And it was, unfortunately, his wife works nice. And this happened that night. And here's the thing. He says, here's a quote from him. He said, my phone is was dead. I couldn't get up. Okay. Then his wife comes home. That's the thing. She normally, this is a quote from her. She says, I normally get home at about 830 AM. But that day, that day, I got, I got held back, held back. And I didn't get back till 10. She says she opened the door and heard him screaming and saw the blood. He was laying in his own blood. All night. Yeah. All night poor guy. Let's talk about, do I believe that coincidentally, the night the kitten gets bitey playful and he falls down the stairs, it's also the night that she quote, gets held back. Tell me this kitten in this bitch ain't colluding. They're not colluding and they are, and I know it. Oh, you know what I just saw? I went, oh, it's not his familiar. It's hers. That's right. It's hers. It's hers. You know how I know this? And right now you're saying, Angel, you're just making that up. I'm going to tell you exactly why I know this to be true. Well, I believe this to be true because what happened next was, she sees her husband laying there on the floor and his buddy. Can't move. He's screaming in pain. She dials emergency services who arrived within minutes. Whereupon, she quickly left the room as she, quote, couldn't stand her partner screaming. Mm-hmm. Is that what one does when one loves someone? No. When they're in pain, you go, I can't handle your screaming. I'm the one, each other. You don't get him a blanket. No, hold it. Hey, you don't whisper baby. No, no, what you're saying? He's saying, no. He's saying, he'll say, no, no, baby. Oh, I got a bounce. I got a bounce. I got a bounce. OK. They coming. And there's nothing really for me to do. But you're screaming a lot. And that's really annoying. I can't hear. I don't want to hear that. So I'm going to room with the cat. And we're going to hang out. And when they come and get you, then, you know, you'll be fine. You'll be fine. This is the thing. So he was sitting there all night. He said, it's if that he was laying there in a pool of his blood broke all night, waiting for his wife to come home. He says, if that wasn't agonizing enough. His this is what I love. His oblivious pet started standing on his chest. No, it wasn't oblivious. A move he reportedly had been doing all night syndrome. Let me tell you what that was. That was the kitten cleaning up its mess. The kittens, well, you were supposed to die. So the cat was like jumping on his chest. I just got to break it just a little bit more. If I just can just break that neck. Just a little, it just, you know what? I didn't get that angle right. And so I could break his neck and then he'd be dead. And he was worried. He was supposed to kill you that night. And he was trying to get that done steadily trying to kill you all night. You still know the cat's not oblivious. You are. You are being hunted by your wife and kitten. Yes. Okay. You are the prey of your wife and kitten. Here's a quote from him. They transported him to the trauma unit where he remained for two weeks. He says, they say that it will be six to 12 months until I'm back by feet. Six to 12 months. I'm on a trial now because of the seizures. I won't be great for another 12 months. He cemented the music, man. Who what? Who currently can't breathe without oxygen? Yeah. Yep. We have to go back to the hospital next week to see if they need to put a brain in to get rid of the blood that's left over. Then it's just a matter of a long recovery. Get rid of the fucking cat. That's right. And this is my question. They don't say in this article, where is the cat? Where is the cat? I'll tell you where the cat is. Where is the cat? The cat's at home because I'll tell you how you know where the cat is. Because all of the adjectives around the cat are oblivious, playful. They're all positive and oblivious. That these actions, what they belie is a lack of understanding. Okay, that this cat, we've done a lot of stories about animals trying to kill people. And people misinterpreting it as accidents, as freak accidents, rather than what they were, well-coordinated attacks. Don't rob your pets of agency. No. Okay, because they will rob your life. Yes. This is the problem, Francis. What? There was the time this came. There was a time in this country. There was a time in this country when we knew what a devil cat, when you saw a devil cat, when you look at the eyes of a cat, you saw the devil, you knew that's what you were seeing. You didn't think playful. The devil is not playful or oblivious. Angela, Angela, there was a time in this country. There was a time. There was a time in this country that when you had a cat, you knew you was playing with your life. Okay, you knew what. Thank you. You had to look where you stepped at all times, because those motherfuckers come up for you. I'm Francis Kalyan. I'm Angela V. Shelton. We're Franchella. Thank you so much for listening, too. Is it a bird? Weird. Microw idiot. Thank you again for all your support. We love you, Laura. [MUSIC] Hi, I'm Francis Kalyan. I'm Angela V. Shelton. We are Franchella, and welcome to "Idiot of the Weird." Microw idiot. [LAUGHTER] That was awesome. [LAUGHTER] Thank you to you for supporting this Black Women-owned podcast, and we thank you for it. Oh, we're Bob. Today's idiot comes to us from the Amazing Brian Sea. We adore you. Thank you so much, Brian. Florida attorney who opposed state helmet law dies in motorcycle crash while not wearing one. Now, we will, of course, as we always say, we will preface this story by saying we're sad, always saddened by the deaths of anybody that it's unfortunate and tragic and unfortunate. But here's one, okay? Here's one, Brian, that should not have happened. This is when, this past weekend I listened to, I was on Instagram, and Reverend Al suddenly came up as having a live thing, so I went to it. And he was eulogizing someone, a fellow pastor, I believe. And he went on this little moment where he was like, "Look, if you ain't done nothing in your life, don't ask me to do your funeral, okay?" [LAUGHTER] Because I'm going to tell the truth that you didn't do nothing. You know? And all I could think is, I wouldn't want to hear. Well, Reverend Al would have to say to Ron Smith, an allegedly experienced rider who was killed after he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a utility trailer, killing himself and his girlfriend. Neither of whom were wearing helmets. He died of head trauma. Thank you. Didn't have to go down like this. Didn't have to go down like this. Neither of whom had to be dead. But here's the thing, but what I say, where I work at, I work at this place called Saint Justice. I have a little street justice. Ooh, Saint Justice Hospital. Saint Street Justice Hospital. And where I work at, let me tell you, okay? Our motto is we don't save stupid. We don't save stupid. And so this is the thing. I do building, I do medical building. I'm a contract employee. Yeah. And I'm an administrator. You get in the way that I miss a street. Let me tell you something about building. I don't have a lot to do. Because as long as you come correct, you don't own nothing to street justice hospital. It's completely free. If you act right and repaint. That's right. And if you keep stupid free for two years, you get a free dental cleaning. Yeah, because you know what? We are supportive of things of shit that's right. Because let me tell you something. What I would when they showed up to my hospital, I would say you were quarantined. Not only were you quarding this event, you were inviting it. You were asking for it. And are we blaming the victim? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the victim isn't isn't him. It's his poor girlfriend. That's right. That's right. Brenda should have been wearing a helmet too. That's right. But not only was he quarding this, he was sitting here trying to make a law to make sure other people for other people to end up in this bullshit. Thank you. He spent over a decade fighting the Florida laws that required the use of helmets. Let me tell you, they call motorcycles donor cycles in our rooms. Okay. And here's the thing. Could, might he have still died with his helmet on? We'll never know. You know why? Because motherfucker didn't have the helmet on. That's right. And what I do know is when you smack your little nog and on some concrete going at almost any speed. That's right. And you know what? What kills me is the hubris of I'm a good driver. I'm a good rider. You know, when I grow up in a motorcycle culture, my brothers had bikes from the ages of 14. That's when you could have a motorcycle. Which is insane. It's really 12. My brothers were riding many bikes and many motorcycles up and down the streets at between 12 and 14. Yeah. And, and you know, I come from that, that, that background where a lot of people in my family and friends, they, I mean, these are ninja riding, popping, willy popping, street racing folk. Yep. I come from that folk. You know, all the people talk about street racing and all that shit. You used to hear my brothers coming down the street. Miles away. I know from this. I can't tell you how many people I've seen skinned up, fucked up. I'm telling you, I'm talking arms broken. See, and the reason I felt like we had to do this, even though you go, there's a tragedy. His person died. Yes, they, you know, obviously we're pointing out the stupidity of this, but because Gary Proff, who's a friend of a self-admitted friend of this Ron Smith, he said, when I went to him and to ask about what was Ron Smith like, he said, quote, he was a guy that you went to for advice. Not that shit. Now you stupid. That's what, this is the problem. What this is, to me, this is what justified our entire calling, our entire podcast. The reason we do edit of the week and the reason we do Minecraft, it is the real reason. Yep. It's because stupid spawns stupid, not just genetically in the form of stupid children, but by passing it through. The community. This person was considered a pillar of his dumb ass community. What this person is, this person didn't know how to take good advice. No, but was known to allegedly give it when I tell you that this will not be the last head injury death amongst the people associated with Ron Smith, due to Ron Smith, because somebody, and I will never understand this attitude, I will never understand the attitude of defiance in the face of your own injury. I just, people who do this, and it's a confusing moment to me when I see somebody who refuses to do something that could keep them safe, just because somebody else said to do it. I just do not get it, because why is the win there? I do, I mean, what is the win? Like, so if you don't get hurt, you know what the win is? The win is winning over the authority. That's all you have. But you didn't win anything. There's no point there's no, in that person's mind, in the structure, in the hierarchical structure, in their minds, they would rather hurt themselves. And it's the same thing with conservatives, right? They would rather harm themselves than, then look towards the truth, admit a truth about themselves, and grow from it. Well, this is my problem. I can get when there's a cost benefit, right? I get that if I say to you, don't do this thing, but the thing, whatever it is, you can make money off of. Like, if I say I think it's wrong to gamble, or I don't think you should gamble, it's dangerous to do that with your money, and you go gamble, there's a potential reward in gambling. Sure. Okay. So I get that somebody goes, yeah, I mean, you may not think it's my, I'm gonna do it anyway. What I don't understand is when I say to you, put on this helmet because I'm nowhere near you. I'm not gonna get hurt or not hurt either way. Even if I'm in a car or another motorcycle and I interact with you, I don't gain or lose by whether or not you have the helmet on. The only person who will benefit or lose is you. So I do not get it. And what I'm telling you gets that deep. That's right. And what I'm telling you is that deep. Yes. And what I'm telling you is I love where I am at. I am not moving off of it. I, I want to defend it to, to my death. And he did. But this is my thing that wasn't his wish. I don't think he wished to die without a helmet on. I don't think that was his wish. But see, but see, but see, here's the thing. His actions said he wanted to die with out of helmet on. That he was really jumped off a building, got him straight to it. Right, right. Exactly. It's, it's, it's, you know, to me, it is the moment where I go. I understand why pride is a sin. I understand how, because you think about the other sins and most of them have to do with things you do to other people. You know what I mean? Like, um, like, you know, coveting and how it creates hate in yourself. That's something that you do to you. But they can have ramifications for your actions towards other people. Stealing, being disrespectful to your parents or to your God, whatever that may be. Like those things get into this other, but pride, it, the, I was like, okay, this is what I get. Because from my point of view, even if I put on a helmet, here's a thing. Whoever wants you to wear this helmet, they're not with you 24/7. They're not going to know if you wear the helmet or not. To me, it's kind of like the, the people out here who are out here, like Ted Cruz saying you shouldn't have to get vaccinated. And when we know he's vaccinated, we know he's, you know, like, like, that's what ego is. It's what you're doing is an ego when you're, when you're, what, what pride is, is an activity. It's an active take into your ego. And what you're doing is you're shoveling shit into the mouth of your ego. And your ego loves the taste of it. But this is the thing. It's loving the taste of shit. And I can tell you, I can tell you that there is a much greater satisfaction. That's right. In other areas. That's right. Being rightness, if you will. That's right. This area, because one is, see, my problem is one area is you don't wear a helmet. The other area is you live, you know what I mean? Like, like, these are not comparable things to me. If you tell me I could live another 40 years of life. If I just put a helmet on for 20 minutes, I'd put the fucking helmet on. But that's you. But that's the thing. I not only is that me, I believe that's what we call saying. And I think there is a level of insanity here that is why you are, this person is an idiot. Because if they got anything out of it, it would, there'd be something here. Yeah. But all they got out of it was some internal thing that nobody, nobody witnessed. That's right. You know, that nobody else got hurt. And it was, it was, it was, it was, they don't get satisfaction. They don't get satisfaction out of it. Right. But here's the thing. What I can only hope, what I hope and pray is that Ron Smith and his girlfriend, what was her name, Brenda Volte. Don't matter. Okay. No. Yeah. I hope that every day that they hopped on to his, they locked themselves in that saddle without their helmets on and felt the wind whipping through their hands. You know me, I got no hair. I know, I know he doesn't. But to the, on their faces and skin, whatever it was that they were into, I hope that Bob, I hope that Bob carried them from the moment of that impact. That's kind of over to, to the light. I hope that the second they saw they were careening out of control, because he lost control. Yes, he did. This so-called experienced driver. This wasn't a drug driver that hit them. This wasn't, you know, a bird that flew into them. This wasn't, this was his mistake. That's right. That's human error. I hope that for every millisecond of that time, they clutched their heads with their hands around their heads like that was going to do some. You know what I answered? That was a time in this country. There was a time. There was a time in this country where the law was the law. And it made sense. It made some kind of sense. It made some kind of sense. They didn't do it because they liked it. That's right. That's right. But you know what? But you know what? But you know what? That needs for easy. I'm gonna tell you something, there's a time in this country. There was a time in this country that if you didn't want to wear a helmet, you don't wear a helmet. But what you don't do is spend a decade trying to keep other people from wearing helmets. That is the bullshit that makes you put you on my list. You do you and how about I do me? And the law is here to make sure that you can't sue everybody on the planet because you made a choice. Yep. Yep. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. I'm Angela V. Shelton. And we are furniture. Well, thank you so much for listening too. In it. Oh, wow. We're here. Micro ID. We love you. Thank you so much for your support. And we love you, Laura. We'll be right back.

We are fragile and welcome to… Idiot of the week. Micro-idiot. It's our gift of appreciation to you for being a Patreon. Thank you. Today's idiot was sent to us by Laura F. Amazing work, Laura. Yes, yes, yes. Priest who temporarily died says he went to hell and they play Rihanna's music to torture people. First of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, I must say, you know, the saying, don't give high on your own supply is really important because when you are representing a brand, say the Catholic Church, which is about salvation, right, and you are being a head agent of that brand, right? Spokesperson. Spokesperson. Right? Okay. When you lead with, you died, hey, God took you. Separarily. Okay. Separarily. Separarily. Your ass did die and then you, where did you go? To hell. Yeah. That's a problem. And you expect, okay. We have to explain part of why, you're absolutely correct, but I need to start. I do have to start at the abusive language. That's per usual for me. Temporarily died. Okay. Okay. This is my problem, Francis. This is my problem. Die. You didn't die. Thank you. Thank you. I said the same. You can't have temporarily, you didn't die. You didn't die. And I know we said it's like that somebody had to be, you were revived. You didn't die. Yes. You lost your pulse. Separarily. Because dad is dead. Right. Dad is no more on the end. Period. We have to stop. Thank you. We have to stop misusing this. Okay. Because, so also, he says, I think it's important. He says he went to hell. Now, to your point, Francis, help me out with something. If I am in fact the spokesperson for this. Does it even, let's just say that this is possibly true. It says a couple of things. Number one, that you did something where they're going to help. That's a problem because I'm supposed to be following your example. Your example, what this means. I'm not what you, you, you, you, you are ready. You're not qualified for your job. That's what I just found out. Now, the dumb thing is you just told everyone. That's right. But the reason you did it was because you wanted to make the point. Priest, Gerald Johnson, priest. If this is officially ordained, I need the church to get involved and kick this hand. You need to fire at his priest. Okay. He said he saw demons enslaving humans and a man, quote, walking on all fours like a dog and getting burned from head to toe. His eyes were bulging and worse than that. He was wearing chains on his neck. He was like a hell hound. But the worst, that's bad. That sounds terrible. That sounds like hell. You don't want it. I'm gonna tell you, that sounds like a thongus. That sounds like a thongus. That sounds a thongus. Is that the last of us? That sounds like a last of us. You know, okay, okay, okay. But that wasn't, but that wasn't the worst. Right. That wasn't the worst, Angela. He said that there was a section. Like a section, a corner. Well, we'll call this a section of hell where music is played. But not just any music, y'all. He could just, I didn't mean to say it. It's the zydeco. Oh, yeah. There's going to be a hell music if he's I go at like top volume. Oh, do we washboard that crap? Okay. But you know what, but no, he said specifically two songs. He could specifically hear Rihanna's umbrella. And I believe this to the core of my heart. Bobby McPheron, don't worry. Be happy being used for torture. Okay. And let me tell you, let's. I agree with you on that. On the door, I agree with you. Does it not only is it annoying, but it's ironic. You know, don't worry. It happened. No, like that would be annoying for real like that. So what I think we were saying that Gerald, Priest Gerald, I'm gonna follow you on the Bobby McPheron. I do have a question about Rihanna because to me, whether or not you like Rihanna or you like her music, Umbrella was a pop hit, whatever. Of course, don't be happy. Was a huge hit, too. That doesn't disqualify you. But when you're talking to me about annoying music, first of all, I'm disturbed by the racism of this. You're going to tell me no Hank Williams song could be. No, really? None. Okay. Not no twist with nothing. No, it's a that they're both black. That bothers me. But then the thing is, to me, they're much worse songs. I can give you many examples. Like how about if this is what you had here all the time? Oh, how in the middle of the street. No, no, no, no. I'm gonna tell you the one that's gonna get you. I get knocked down, but I get up again. That song should be in hell. Chumba Wumba should be playing in hell, over and over. Did you see the Handmaid's Tale episode where she's in the hospital? She's going crazy. They leave her alone. And all she keeps, she keeps, she hears the, you know, the all the different instruments dinging. And it's sort of in her mind. She, over and over again. She's saying, oh baby, do you know what it is? Chumba Wumba, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And I think those are like the only words she clearly know. So she keeps singing them over and over and over. And I realized, oh, the only words I know. I've got, let me tell you something. I've got that song OCD thing where songs play. Oh, it's an anxiety thing. That when you play songs like that, over and over and over. And it just snippets. And what I tell you, it is hell. It is, you know what I'm saying? This makes no sense. What makes those sense? But it's not an irritation thing, but the song that comes out of me when I'm just not thinking. Always is this. If you want to be happy for the rest of your life now, but make a pretty woman, your wife. So from my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you, but only that part. Let me tell you Tom. I don't know why I watched Mermaids, or what the fuck was that movie called? Yes, Mermaids. With Cher. Yeah, it wasn't the Mermaids. And we're known on. I'm not even something like that. I don't even, I love the movie was okay. But for some reason, the minute I heard that's like, it's been stuck in my head. And it just, it'll be the thing that you hear me. I'll just be like, mhm, mhm, mhm. I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tom had Nat King Coles, Mona Lisa in his head. Daily for like five years. Okay, so it should be a pill for that. There should be a fucking pill. I'm sure there is. But this is the thing. This, yeah, at this point. Yeah, this is called Clonopin. It's called either Clonopin, or a whole bunch of SSA now. Yeah, but this was years of them. You know what I mean? Yeah, well, Tom's very, very old. He's like, what, one thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you know, yeah, he looks free. But Reese Gerald Johnson, this is our problem. But the reason he says that it's this song is because every word of every song was made to torch you for the fact that you didn't worship God through music while you were on earth. So what he wants you to believe is that his sin that landed him in hell, even though he thought he says, I was, you know, I thought I did so many, this is a quote. I thought I did so much good during my life and that I helped so many people. But even so, I went down to hell. I entered the very center of the earth. The things I saw there are indescribable. And yet you've described them. Yeah. It brings up so many difficult feelings while I talk about it. Yeah, to talk about it. The sin he committed was he didn't use music to worship. Now I don't know why Umbrella or I've searched my heart and the lyrics to find why those songs? Like no Aussie Osborn or no Death Matter. Right. Like no, you know, like a suicide song, you know, like, I mean, I'm sorry. I can't be perfect. That didn't make it. Can I tell you this? This is the conversation we had the other day, which my, you know, child was even talking about, you know, about something else. Algorithms, your brain has algorithms, okay? So for this person, through his prism, his algorithm is Rihanna and Bobby McFerrin are the worst things that can be, you know, that is his version of hell. And that gets to be his version of hell. I can't. But does that get to mean that the sin that you commit? Because I don't think that's the sin you committed. No, I don't. I don't think, because hell will be full of stuff. If that's the drawing line, there's nobody in heaven. Yeah. If you could have done committed no sin, other than every song you listened to, didn't mention God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody's in hell. There's just no way. Happy birthday. Don't say nothing about God doing it. No, go now. It doesn't make any sense. It does not make sense. And why? And then I have to ask myself, and I know we're talking about, because we need to be talking about, but also why? I don't understand how this article even happened. Like, how did somebody find out about this? Like, I mean-- Yo, what is this name to me? It's a bad thing to me. I know. It's a bad thing to me. Well, because I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I can tell you why it's news, why it's an article, why it happened. Because we right now, and this is the part where semi-intelligent people like us are having a problem. Because we are living in a world of conspiracy, we are living in a world where people will take, you know, lamb, maddascation, and not follow the CDC. You see what I'm saying? No, you're right. So, somebody is following this priest. Someone is sitting in his pews, listening to this man every week, probably he is leading a pasture of people. It's just not, that's not, that's not okay. That's not. That's why it's news. I'm going to need you to prove to me that you have committed no other sins. Before I can go down the "It's Rihanna" and Bobby McFerrin Hall. I'm going to really-- I'm going to need you to do that. It's not even like, you won't even give me on somebody like, "What's that band?" Pissed it, they sort of did the makeup, the upset, the religious people. Right, right, right, right. You say you never heard nobody. Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson just got a nice person. But don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy. I know. But it's also like, I will say that for me, I will-- We agree about this. I don't understand why that song was such a hit. I really don't. I have no idea why don't worry, be happy with such an enormous hit. And I bet if we could get Bobby McFerrin to be honest in the quiet of the night, he would whisper to us, "I don't know." Okay. Bobby McFerrin. I've made so many songs that I thought would be good, big songs and they were not. But this shit, that's quotes out one morning on-- 'cause I forgot that I owe them a song. And they called me and they were like, "What was the song?" I'm going to tell you why it was popular, and then why I got down into the "Zite Guys." We needed it at the time. Robin Williams was in it, in the video and playing and having fun, and we had George Bush at the time. And-- We didn't even know how bad shit could be. We didn't know how bad shit could get. And-- Remember when you thought that was really bad? That's right. That's what I'm saying. That was the "Don't Worry, Be Happy" moment. Also, I have to say, in defense-- I can't believe I'm saying this-- in defense of Bobby McFerrin. He is a brilliant musician. He is a brilliant composer. He really is. This is not, to me, this is not the best representation of his work, and yet, of course, it's probably the best known of his work. Exactly. But I love when you-- I always think about you telling me about "Watching That Documentary" by Billy Joel. Yes. And talking about how he writes songs that he usually does the music, and then he makes up lyrics to it. But the worst song he thinks he ever wrote was the one where he did the lyrics and then tried to make music to it. Yeah. And that's when he ended up with ♪ Lean inside the fight ♪ And it was like-- He's like-- He's like-- And he plays it with "Hatron." He plays it like, "I hate this." And it's so fun. Yes. And of course, he's like, "Of course, it's one of my biggest hits." It's his biggest hit. You gotta love it. Or you don't like the-- What's-- Sarah-- How do you say her name? Barana? You're a sister. Yeah. Her, "Don't Worry, Love, Love, Love." Yeah. That song, she wrote, because the record company said she needed to put a love song on the album and she was pissed. Yep. So she wrote, "I'm not gonna write you a love song." And of course-- It's the hit. It's the biggest hit on the album. And it's-- I think that this is the thing about life. But this is not the thing about death and after death. And I question severely, Priest Gerald Johnson's death. Yeah. Well, you know what? I question Priest Gerald Johnson's taste in music. There, I said it. Yeah. And maybe if you're-- Yeah, just-- Maybe-- These are both old ass songs, too. And maybe if you could find in your heart to love somebody and expand your heart, maybe you wouldn't go to hell. Thank you. You know what I answered? That was the time of this country. Yeah. Who was the time? There was a time in this country when, you know, you had to be playing, you know, on the limited skin of the song. Do you know, get a rise out of somebody? That's what I'm saying. There had to be some heavy, like, speed metal or something like, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah." That's devil music. Everybody knows that. Hey, I'm a old brother. That's just music to get sassy to my hoot. But it's-- I mean, come on. That's just pop. That can't be helped. Hell's I, man. I'm making up or-- [LAUGHTER] Decidical. My friends in Staglier. This man should be something I'm going to bet. Right. Uh, what is this? This is show. I'm an idiot. Oh, wait a minute. Micro-idiot. Thank you again for all your support. And we love you, Laura. [MUSIC PLAYING] [THEME MUSIC] [THEME MUSIC] [THEME MUSIC] [THEME MUSIC] [THEME MUSIC] Hi, I'm Frances Callier. And I'm Angela V. Shelton. We are Frances, and welcome to-- Idiot of the week! Micro-idiot. Oh, this is our way of saying thank you to you through the mocking of more stupid for being our patreon subscribers. And thank you. Thank you. Today's idiot comes to us from David G. Grego. Vincent A. Is that MP Gutis? Yes. MP Gutis and Sharon A. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. A pro-gun lawyer was shot by his own weapon while visiting a hospital with a powerful magnetic field from an MRI scanner set the pistol off. OK, apparently Leonardo-- Or Leandro. Leandro. I'm sorry. Leandro. Matthias de Novas. I think. Yeah, that works. Was taking his mother, which is lovely. OK. For a scan at the hospital in San Paulo and entered the facility with a concealed handgun. Now, this is despite y'all. Despite warnings from the staff to remove jewelry and metal objects in the MRI room, Mr. Matthias kept his weapon on his waistband. Now, I believe they even had to sign stuff. I saw-- Yes, they did. No, yeah, they did. Yes. That they have protocols, so you have to agree. Because the machine is very strong and he was going in there with her. Yes. They're like, you have to sign a liability waiver. You have to sign something saying that you don't have anything metal on you. So he does all that, keeps his gun on him. And what happens? Love. Yeah. Just-- I don't know what you want to call it. But the magnetic field from the machine was so strong that the weapon was pulled from his waist and fired off around, which hit him in the stomach. He died. He died. The lawyer was known for posting pro-gun content to his 12,000 followers on TikTok. He's a pro. Here's the thing. I've got to stop right here. He's a pro-gun. I don't-- I don't-- OK, let me tell you something. Mm-hmm. I'm pro-shoes. I am. Yes. OK. But if I go to a-- You're a lover of shoes, in fact, I would say. In aficionado. Exactly. But if I go someplace and somebody tells me, this is a no-shoe place. And in fact, if you wear shoes in here, we're going to cut off your feet. Mm-hmm. I mean, it's not just-- it's going to be a problem for you. No, it's not-- it offends us. It's that it's harmful. It's damn-- it's dangerous. It's dangerous. Here's the thing. It was him that could have been his mother. It could have been a doctor. It could have been anyone. And I resent the implication of guilt upon the weapon. I resent the way that that sentence is constructed, that his weapon fired off around. No, it didn't. He shot himself. Yes, he did. The magnetic field were nothing, but the whole-- what righteousness and science. Right. This is where righteousness meant science. You were told repeatedly to take everything metal off of you, but you had to be you. You weren't going to take off your gun and get on what? You never took off your gun. You died with your gun on you. Hope you had it. That's right. That's right. Because science don't motherfucking science. Gravity gone, gravity. Magnetic gone, magnetic. And I'm-- That's right. I'm going to give a fuck how much you like a motherfucking gun. How much you make your balls feel? I don't give a fuck. Magnet, I'm going to tell you something. Magnet, don't give a fuck about your opinions. They are not here to recognize your boss'ness. They don't give a fly a fuck day. Magnet, it's busy trying to figure out what's going on in your mama. You busy trying to get your dick hard. I'm saying what I-- It took two weeks for this man to die. He suffered. This was not easy. He got shot in the stomach. And I am so sick of people. And I get to-- How many-- in the whole discussion of guns, people talk about common sense gun reform and responsible gun ownership. Is there such a thing as responsible gun ownership? I think we have to ask ourselves that. Because the reality is, well, yes, of course, the vast majority of people who have guns are not at this point getting shot by them by themselves. The reality is, if we stop allowing people to walk around with them, this will never happen. That's right. Like, I can't-- with how you gonna sign form saying you ain't got nothing metal on you, and you do. And then-- But then that's the first thing. The next thing is, now the family wants to sue the hospital. Oh, and they will. And here's the thing. I hope not only that-- see, this is my problem. There should be something where not only do you lose, because the court will throw out a frivolous lawsuit. But I think that they won't say this is frivolous problem, I guess. But like, there should be something where when you bring a lawsuit that's annoying and egregious and it's stupid, you shouldn't have to be cussed out by us. Or something like that. I mean, I think that that's fair. I think that when this family that we should-- we should have to be able to get on the-- I'm not going there. So we have to zoom this cuss out. But we're like, we could zoom this cuss out, and you have to sit there for as long as we can keep coming up with shit to say to you. Like, I believe that that, more than prison time, might stop some of this. You know what, Angela? There was a time in this country. There was a time. Angela, there was a time in this country where if they told you up was up and down was down, you believed that shit. You didn't try to test that theory. Thank you. With your life. Thank you. For instance of the time in this country that if you got shot, it wasn't at the hospital. It wasn't because you fucked up and shot yourself at the hospital. And you died anyway. It sure did.
