Episode #1348
Monday, Oct 5 - Dave Does Not Care
Connecticut has another reason to pat itself on the back, at least when it comes to safety. The state was recently ranked as the fifth-safest state in the entire country. Meanwhile, North Haven residents can forget about Amazon drones buzzing around the neighborhood for now. After plenty of discussion, the town has decided it will not be moving forward with Amazon’s drone delivery program. Phil Collins also opened up about a decades-long beef he had with Paul McCartney. Apparently, the whole thing started when the two were involved in the Queen’s Jubilee celebration at Buckingham Palace. Collins asked McCartney to sign something, and Paul apparently turned to his then-wife and said, “He’s a big Beatles fan, our little Phil.” Collins clearly did not appreciate being treated like some awestruck fanboy. The two eventually went their separate ways, and Collins recently told Piers Morgan about a phone call that finally helped patch things up. There’s also continued concern in Oregon over the so-called “door kick challenge,” where people kick in someone’s front door as part of a social media stunt. Because apparently we needed another stupid internet challenge. And speaking of TikTok stunts, a teenager in Florida was filming himself getting a haircut in the middle of a busy road last week when things went about as badly as you would expect. He was struck by a pickup truck and hospitalized in serious condition. Americans have also apparently decided that the most played-out Halloween costume is the “sexy [blank]” costume. Pirate costumes came in second, followed by Joker costumes. Finally, a Pennsylvania woman is facing charges after allegedly stealing a donation box from a veterinary clinic. Police say she grabbed the box and stuffed it underneath her coat. The box contained more than $400, so apparently even the pets aren’t safe from porch-pirate-style crime anymore.
