We interrupt this program to bring you a special report. I can't believe it's news. Here's Brad and John. Well, Carnival Cruise Lines is dropping a bomb on some of their travelers. They say many travelers, cruise travelers, enjoy decorating their state room doors with whiteboards and magnets and themed designs. But they say one certain theme is no longer permitted on Carnival Cruise ships. There was a request for a singles meetup. There's like an online chat board kind of thing. And this guy said, hey, you should do more like singles cruises and stuff. And the Carnival Cruise Line brand ambassador, John Harrell, held said, we are not permitting upside down pineapple decorations on the cruise lines anymore. Now, different people decorate, like they said, with different things and themes and stuff. But they said over the last few years, it's caused some trouble and some misunderstandings. I guess the upside down pineapple, it means that you are into swinging. And so if you put an upside down pineapple on your door, that means you're open to-- How many pranks do you think this has been the cause of? Oh, I'm sure. And it says, it goes on to say, while not illegal, this behavior can lead to tense situations between passengers, especially if both partners have different ideas on what may or may not be acceptable, or who should interact with whom. And it goes on to say, for those who aren't aware of what a pineapple decoration might mean, using these fun tropical fruits on their state room door might create an awkward and unwanted situation. Somebody comes knocking on the door, who's ready to party in here? Yeah. And they said, so just to be safe, and then so there's no misunderstanding, there will be no upside down pineapples on carnival cruise ships. And they're not even going to serve pineapple anymore for fear that it gets turned upside down there at carnival cruise. You know, when I was in school, you tried to-- I had so many challenges getting decent grades that I would never even consider doing something that would put me on the wrong side of a teacher. I needed all the help I could get to get those passable grades. Well, this kid in Jonesboro, Arkansas, apparently, doesn't care. Now, he is involved in e-sports, as an extracurricular activity. And the teacher of e-sports there, the guy who runs that, is a teacher by the name of Mr. Simpson. Mr. Simpson also teaches some other classes at the school. Well, this kid is going to hope that he never has a class with Mr. Simpson for the rest of his high school career. Police received a complaint from Mr. Simpson after he said his card, his credit card, was charged over $1,000 from a student's PlayStation account. Yeah. The kid-- this kid, Mr. Simpson reported to police that he put his credit card information under a student's PlayStation account to pay for a three-month subscription to the PlayStation Game Pass. He did this as a nice gesture to the kid. He told police, Mr. Simpson told police that the student did not have access to a PlayStation Game Pass subscription. So he offered to pay for it so the kid could get better at this game than I guess that they were all playing on the e-sports team. After the purchase, he said he attempted to remove the card information from the account. Mr. Simpson later found charges in the amount of $1,056 on his credit card from the PlayStation's website. The kid was charging up all kinds of other games to Mr. Simpson's card. And there was a bizarre scene play out on a freeway in Melbourne, Australia on Saturday where people thought, you know, this lady must be drunk or something, this woman is weaving through traffic and then, you know, it ends up pulling over to the side of the road, cutting off a couple cars and then jumping out on the side of the road, she's barefoot and she's waving down traffic and they're, what is going on with this woman? Well, you know, after getting multiple reports of somebody driving crazy, the cops end up coming up and finding her on side of the road. And she says, yeah, I had to pull over because there was a huge snake in my car. And this turned, and then so they go to check it out and sure enough, there is a venomous tiger snake. They say one of the most venomous snakes in the world, she said, remarkable, believe the woman was able to fend off the snake, weave through traffic before pulling over into the shoulder lane and leaping out of her car to safety. And then they found this woman, they said, traffic backed up because they had the animal rescuers, you know, come in there and pull this giant snake that had curled up underneath her, you know, passing motorists were left in bewilderment as the massive snake was safely removed from the vehicle. She was not ticketed. One of the most deadly snakes in the world.
