You don't know that song? No. She's choosing Texas, I can tell. By the way, she's two-stepping down the room. Who sings that? Those Malaysian triplets I like. The Malaysian triplets sing the song about Texas? I played it on the Billy Wayne Davis last stream. You weren't there for that one.

54.691 - 56.413 Ed Larson

Oh, I don't watch that. stuff that I'm not a part of.

56.433 - 69.429 Ben Kissel

Yeah, of course. But the song is done by somebody else, but I only know it done by the three ageless Malaysian triplet boys. I think are men that are on Instagram. What are they called, Rob?

69.65 - 71.512 Henry Zebrowski

The Muyun Brothers.

71.532 - 93.211 Ben Kissel

Yeah, the Muyun Brothers. They do a great... That song, I honestly feel like it's better than the original song. Because when I try to listen to the original song, it doesn't have the same Malaysian triplet style. No, yeah. It's kind of... Irreplaceable. I love seeing three people that are, you know, the audience knows, I like people that are tinier than me, but older than me.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts reflect on their experiences with pets?

103.144 - 108.433 Henry Zebrowski

I've looked this up before, and there's no definitive information on that.

0

108.473 - 114.223 Ben Kissel

They could be 50. Honestly, but they got a set of pipes on them. And you know what? Those pipes are only seven inches long.

0

114.383 - 129.043 Ed Larson

Man, I love watching Korean guys do creed. on karaoke. I hate Creed, but when I watch a dude from South Korea sing Creed perfectly, there's something magical about it.

0

129.303 - 145.081 Ben Kissel

Philippines, South Korea, they have Thailand. That is the land of karaoke, my friend. They have it on lock. What's his name who replaced Stephen Perry? Yes, the guy, yeah, Journey. The guy who replaced Journey. The only one who's irreplaceable. You don't know?

0

145.482 - 150.147 Ed Larson

Where am I alone? Am I on an island alone? I'm the co-host, and I know.

155.733 - 157.275 Unknown

Welcome to Side Stories.

157.295 - 176.017 Ben Kissel

Sitting here, that's actually a really good reminder that he is my co-host. I'm sitting here with Ed Larson. How you doing? What's going on? My name is Henry Azabreski. Yes. My name is Henry Azabreski. Yes, it is. I'm sorry, I just became one of those little Malaysian boys for a second. I didn't mean to. But we just came back from Rochester, and boy, is our asshole tired.

176.157 - 178.54 Ed Larson

Arnel Pineda. is his name, the lead singer of Journey.

178.741 - 184.288 Ben Kissel

Oh, yes, that's right. And God bless him and congratulations. He does a great job.

Chapter 3: What story is shared about Joey Chestnut's macaroni eating competition?

188.234 - 188.574 Ben Kissel

Oh, yeah.

0

188.634 - 190.757 Ed Larson

He just got fired because he can't sing anymore?

0

190.877 - 201.792 Ben Kissel

No, no, no. He can still sing. He specifically just chose not to because he said it was too much for him. He didn't like touring. He was blowing his voice out. And I think he also was an asshole.

0

201.832 - 213.644 Ed Larson

Can I say something that's guaranteed to piss off a lot of people? Please. Journey sucks. Wow. I like Journey. Journey could go fuck with Bon Jovi.

0

214.125 - 215.207 Ben Kissel

You know, I get it.

Chapter 4: What controversial legal case involving a teenager is discussed?

215.267 - 232.99 Ben Kissel

I think Journey has its place. Yeah. I think it has its place. But yeah, Steve Perry, he is not coming back to Journey no matter how much we beg him. Sorry, guys. Sidestorieslpotl at gmail.com. How do we get Steve Perry back in Journey? Worst part of The Sopranos ending. Absolutely.

235.673 - 242.023 Ben Kissel

But we have other big news. Again, a big update. Rochester isn't horrible. What's wrong with you?

242.104 - 243.446 Ed Larson

Yeah, Rochester was so nice.

243.526 - 251.539 Ben Kissel

Well, everybody just said, oh, enjoy Rochester. Hope you like graves. And we got there, and it's the sweetest place in the world. We were in the nice part of town. That's what they said.

251.519 - 263.501 Ed Larson

Yeah, yeah. Later on, they were like, thank you for being so nice, but this is the nice part of town. Don't go over here. I won't go there, though, and you're correct, and thank you. We saw the sun on our side of town. We were walking around. The sun was out.

263.581 - 266.406 Ben Kissel

I think it only comes up on that side of town, though.

Chapter 5: How does the episode address the consequences of reckless behavior?

282.83 - 288.419 Ben Kissel

Holy shit. Great food. Go check it out. I mean, we had the duck legs. They were amazing. The fried cheese bricks.

0

288.819 - 295.65 Ed Larson

Yeah. Fat fucks. So fat. That giant hunk of pork. It was so good. I did have a little bit of the salad.

0

295.63 - 312.139 Ben Kissel

It was fine. Yeah, it was like a bed for the other ones to slide. It's like a sled in a way. More like a sled. It's like a sled and then the food just slid down it into my gullet. So, thank you guys. Thank you, Rochester. Thank you for everybody who came out to both of the shows. We had a great weekend.

0

312.66 - 335 Ed Larson

It was the first time as like... a non-football fan that I saw a bunch of people wearing Bills clothes. As a Dolphins fan, I hate the Bills. Yeah, sure. But I renounced football. Yeah, you're out of the game. And I see a lot of people wearing Bills clothes, and there was still a little part of me in the back of my spine. I was like, go fuck yourself. Fuck yourself, you fucking piece of shit.

0

335.02 - 348.919 Ed Larson

It's the power of advertising. And I was just like, oh, stop it. It doesn't matter. None of this matters. Football doesn't matter. But there was a little part of me that was like, you piece of shit Bills fan. Go eat shit. I'm Brian Cox. Two fingers up at you, you fucking cocksucker. That's how powerful it is.

Chapter 6: What is the narrative around the Bricks and Minifigs controversy?

349.059 - 352.664 Ed Larson

Stop it. You're past this. You're better now. You're better. You're cured.

0

353.024 - 366.681 Marcus Parks

You are. You are, but you're not, though, because you got angry. You know what? I didn't say nothing to nobody. See, that's deep. I didn't say nothing to nobody. That's the thing. I heard nobody. I heard nobody. I'm a good guy. That's all you can ask for.

0

366.701 - 387.083 Ben Kissel

It's because that is where the healing is, is because he did not attack a random woman wearing a Bills jersey. But she was fucking ugly in it. Sorry. There's nothing you can do about it. See, look how powerful all of that is. He's still overcoming his NFL trauma. Yeah. Still here. But it was one little piece of it. It was undercoming. Bills fans. Wow.

0

387.163 - 392.068 Marcus Parks

Yeah, because they can't get them out. They can't get their semen out of their fat cocks. Why are we doing this, Eddie?

0

392.088 - 411.814 Ben Kissel

There's no reason to be like this, Eddie. You don't watch football anymore. You don't have these rivalries inside of you anymore. You have to purge them. We have one little update from somebody who met Joey Chestnut. I just wanted to read this really quick. Oh, wow. Exciting. Really, really quick. Really meet a prison guy. No, worse, a macaroni eating competition.

412.114 - 413.256 Unknown

That's fun.

413.556 - 427.253 Ben Kissel

You know, to me, to be a contestant, sure, but to watch many men eat as much macaroni salad as they could. Are you telling me you don't want to go? No, of course. Is that what you're trying to tell me right now? I want to be in the VIP tent. Yes. All right.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the screw worm outbreak discussed?

427.734 - 429.317 Ben Kissel

I want to be guest of talent.

0

429.537 - 433.122 Ed Larson

I definitely don't want to be eating the same food as they're eating. No, absolutely not.

0

433.263 - 454.396 Ben Kissel

So this person, I love this. This is just a little story about Joey Chestnut. For those of you that don't know, we covered him last week about how a judge allowed him to compete. He released him from his probationary holding in Indiana to be released to New York City for the July 4th Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest for the 250th year anniversary. Celebration of the United States of America.

0

454.676 - 474.188 Ben Kissel

And what a glorious year it is. And so this lady met Joey Chestnut. Yeah. I was in Woodstock, Georgia. He was at a restaurant that's sadly been closed down called the Original Hot Chicken or something like that. It was actually really good. They dip the chicken in cornflakes and then they fry it. It's lunchtime. I'm hungry now.

0

475.096 - 492.202 Ben Kissel

Anyways, he was at some event this place was having, and he was in a macaroni-eating competition there. Now, thank God I was not there to witness said competition, but my then-fiancƩ and I were there for lunch, and Mr. Nut himself was walking around.

492.522 - 516.002 Ben Kissel

And I stood up to meet him with the rest of my party, and he cut off my then-soon-to-be-future father-in-law to ask me, "'Where'd you get that bag?' My wife wants one so badly. Now, I'm not going to lie. I straight up lied to that man. I told him I didn't know where I got it. Knowing full damn well where it came straight from China as it was a knockoff of Goyard Bag.

516.243 - 540.63 Ben Kissel

But do you think I'm going to admit that? Oh, hell no. You just did. Anyways, that's not the fun part. When I tell you the breath on that man could have killed every single competitor in the Enhanced Games. Oh, my God. I couldn't tell you what it looked like, what he said, what I said, what anyone said, because that smell was so powerful and terrible. Oh, my God.

541.131 - 563.631 Ben Kissel

It's been years, and I can still smell it. If I think about it for too long, it will ruin macaroni for me, because I'm pretty sure it was from the, like, 10 pounds or something stupid of macaroni that he had just benched. I can't even describe it. I dated a wrestler for years, and during wrestling season, when he had to cut weight, he would get awful cotton mouth, and that was bad.

563.912 - 587.729 Ben Kissel

I've smelled the breath of people with a rotten tooth or two, and that's bad. This was a new level of horror. Hey, come on. This is slander. Hey, you know, hey. That's a part of it, dude. I'm sorry. If you don't think that the man whose own hole and gullet is a sarlacc of such power, of such pure American fortitude, you don't think it's going to give off some exhaust?

Chapter 8: What final thoughts do the hosts share about personal experiences?

711.882 - 729.147 Ben Kissel

That's Kobayashi. All right. So let's get into some stories of the week. Oh, Eddie. Oh, Eddie. I charged you with watching a documentary and you did. Oh, yes. I watched the Crash movie. Now, this story. I got all kinds of feelings about it. Yeah, this is a good one because I think it'll bring up a lot of conversation.

0

729.227 - 754.766 Ben Kissel

It's kind of out in the zeitgeist right now and we'll talk about it because I watched a documentary and I'm also angry. So this starts on July 31st, 2022. 17-year-old Mackenzie Sherilla crashed a car going 100 miles an hour, killing her two passengers on impact. One of them was her boyfriend, 20-year-old Dominic Russo, and the other was their mutual friend, 19-year-old Davian Flanagan.

0

755.107 - 774.733 Ben Kissel

Now, what we're seeing here is at first they thought it was a horrendous accident. She got pulled from the thing. Yeah. She was all disoriented. I remember first seeing this story as a body cam. So the body cam footage is fucking horrific. They show it in the movie. They show all the cut to of all stuff. So first you see this car that was obliterated. It ran to the side of the building.

0

774.793 - 785.526 Ben Kissel

You could see all of the various CCTV footage leading up to it, which shows that it specifically sped up. And they also found that out when they took the black box out of the car.

0

785.606 - 795.6 Ed Larson

It never once hit the brake. It didn't really speed up as much as it maintained 100%. It just was epic. Pedal to the metal all the way into the wall for the last five seconds of what happened.

796.021 - 815.707 Ben Kissel

The wheel got jerked back and forth. At first, Mackenzie Shirella was hospitalized and considered to be another victim. They thought that maybe she had, because they found a little bit of drugs in the car. She was, I don't think she was even all that intoxicated. No, it came back pretty clean. Yeah, she had like THC in her system. But that's it. And that's it. And they came back first thing.

815.747 - 828.418 Ben Kissel

It was a horrific accident. Everyone was doing mushrooms. There was no mushrooms in her system. She specifically didn't take mushrooms. Everybody else was on mushrooms. So she eventually had to go to trial. And she was found guilty on two counts of murder.

828.458 - 849.683 Ben Kissel

This comes from a long, unbelievable defense where she basically said, I have an undisclosed medical condition that causes me to just go to sleep. and that I happen to also be tired, and I also happen to be on drugs, and I also happen to be extra sleepy, so I went to sleep, and I killed everybody.

849.803 - 862.562 Ed Larson

Dude, when I saw her lawyer, the first thing I thought in my head was, this guy ain't saving anyone's life. No, no, he was a mess. He looked like he was asleep. He's kind of like a snoring awake type of dude.
