Laughs and Lessons From Stupidity: Breaking Equipment to Selling Water in Kansas

Can stupidity be a source of unexpected wisdom? This week on Special OpeRadio, I'm Texas Terry, and I'm here to riff on some of the dumbest moments that have shaped a smarter outlook on life. From breaking my own equipment to the hilariously absurd scenarios encountered in Kansas military life, this episode promises a hearty mix of unfiltered laughs and poignant reflections. Expect a candid conversation about the necessity of taking responsibility, even when it means owning up to your own boneheaded moves.

Tune in as we meander through bizarre anecdotes—like selling water at a race car track only to find everyone else got the memo on how to actually make money. We'll explore the curious case of clueless individuals navigating daily tasks that leave you scratching your head. Whether you're a long-time listener or just stumbled upon us, this episode is your ticket to a raw, real, and raucous ride through life's most head-slappingly stupid moments.

Speaker 1: 0:58

It just so happens to be something that I did on the fly. You gotta improvise and overcome sometimes, and that's what I had to do today because your humble host did something stupid, you know, and sometimes you gotta take responsibility for that. Sometimes you've gotta. I mean, at the end of the day, right, you gotta accept responsibility. I know I just broke your fucking brain when I said that, but for real, sometimes, you know, sometimes you hand yourself lemons and then you gotta make lemonade and drink it. It's not like having your cake and eating it too. It's two completely different things. But at the end of the day, if you're a glass half full optimist like I am anybody knows me knows that that's a goddamn lie. Uh, you just gotta do what to do. So we're in some new digs, new equipment, new mic, new just I'm a new host. I feel like a fucking new host over here. It's been a couple of weeks and I feel I feel changed.

Speaker 1: 1:55

I don't think it's Pride Month. I don't think that's what's doing it. You guys celebrating Pride Month? Okay, hit me up at SpecialOperation Outlookcom and, uh, sub up to the pod and all that extra shit. If you got a pride pin on right now, anyway, that's stupid. Um, you know, my equipment was damaged and that was stupid and the moral of the story, the whole fucking concept of the show today, is going to be stupidity.

Speaker 1: 2:25

There's a lot of stupid shit that goes on in the world. You know what I mean and we're all in tune with it. I feel like, except the stupid people. Stupid people are hard to convince. They're stupid. Because they're stupid, you can't tell. Hey man, you're a retard. They're not going to understand. And I'm not talking about the mentally challenged people, I'm talking about straight up idiots Just running around the country with no. You can't even figure out how they got out the fucking bed, tied their shoes, made it to Starbucks and hot yoga. Back to Sprouts Grabbed like four ounces of kale Somehow made it back to the crib. Grabbed like four ounces of kale, somehow made it back to the crib to feed their cat. I have no idea. I have no idea. Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent there. There's a lot. I mean, I was kind of picking and choosing what I wanted to talk about this evening with y'all because it has been a minute. You know, construction takes time. The rebuilding process is sometimes not as quick as you would appreciate or want it to be. Anyway, I did find one story today. I'll quit wasting your time with all my bullshit. There's a story here and this is out of Kansas. I don't know, I don't. I'm not a big fan of Kansas. I had to spend a lot of time in Kansas when I was in the military Fort Riley Go fuck yourself. Junction City, kansas, especially in anybody in Manhattan, kansas, you can kiss my ass, I don't care. It was cool fucking around at K-State, though for single soldiers like I was back in the day, we used to get opportunities at random little jobs you know what I'm saying where you could like I don't know, for instance, selling water at a race car track or something like that. You get to watch the race. You're supposed to make a couple bucks. I didn't make any money at that time. I know people were stealing and they made money. I should have probably fucking followed their high road, but you know, it's just, you know whatever. Another opportunity that I got was go out to k state, kansas state university and uh, do quote, unquote, security and five, six. At that time I was probably 160 and your boy's about 190. Right now I've been putting on that vin diesel weight, but, but either way, neither here nor there, man, you got to do security. Put on a little jacket and fuck around, watch a football game, do what we need to do and bounce, you know, make minimum wage, whatever it was back then. Does anybody remember why the fuck I started talking about the millionaire? Oh, okay, because Kansas. This story is from Kansas. See, I tied that together. Live on there. That's your fucking clue. That's your first one. Then I'm getting really good at this and you should subscribe. Anyway, unfortunately, in Kansas, let me make sure I'm getting the Okay, let me make sure, okay. So, unfortunately, man, a high school senior, was left paralyzed from the waist down after a furious father shot him in a Walmart parking lot. Walmart, it's always Walmart. You can see it on the news, you can see it on these crime shows, you can see it just. I mean being there shopping. There's some shady, it's just I don't know. It's a beacon of hope because you save more, pay less. Is that what it is? Or was that pay less as fucking slogan? I don't know who gives a shit right. Anyway, unfortunately, man, this furious father, shot this kid man uh, just graduated high school in a walmart parking lot after teen fired a toy gun at the man's daughter as part of a controversial trend. This trend, what is it, might you ask? Well, it's called the fucking assassin trend, or the senior assassin trend, to be more specific. And what these retards do is they run up on one another, and I guess with gel blasters or water guns or I don't know if the gel blaster, I don't know, I don't, obviously I don't, I don't fucking fuck around with toys, but uh, I don't know. They run up on each other randomly, in random places and start screaming and pointing fucking weapons at each other. Water, no water. Um, I just so senior. Here's the, the. The specific definition, courtesy of the new york post a senior asset or senior assassin is an elaborate game of tag where participating high school seniors are given a target and are usually asked to record tagging their victims and posting it to social media. Uh, off of school grounds. Well, a couple of kids tried this shit, looks like. Uh, you know, it's just funny when you read some of this shit how the little you know multiple police department warned parents this year, uh, that the nationwide game could have deadly consequences. I don't, I mean, look, I don't want to speculate, I'm just saying so. Here's what happened. So the dude, anakin Zayring no disrespect, I'm trying here he was 18 years old, was in the car with two other males outside of Walmart in Goddard, kansas, on May 11th when they spotted two teens walking towards the building and conducted a. They didn't put this in quotation marks, but I'm going to do it for you. They conducted a drive-by shooting with gel blasters. Well, there you go, I nailed that shit. That's according to the Wichita Eagle. Thanks, wichita Eagle. And fuck Wichita. A passenger inside the car shouted I eagle. And fuck wichita. A passenger inside the car shouted I'm your senior assassin. Apparently, as the two teens a girl and her boyfriend were shot at multiple times with water-filled polymer beads. Senior, okay, so we went over what the fuck senior assassin is? Uh, I really don't want to read the rest of it. Sounds like I. I read the story prior to, but I'm not going to read for you verbatim what the fuck happened. That's just boring. I hate it when people do that. But basically what happened is they got shot at. Homegirl ran in the store, got her pappy. Pappy came out not trying to be on any kind of fucking uh bullshit, apparently. Um, let me just make sure. Yeah, I mean. Look, contraria's daughter, identified as sc, says she saw her father walk towards the car and put her head down due to being scared of what might happen to her dad. They had pellet guns or not even fucking little mini water balloon guns. Is what they really boiled down to? It's definitely not like a bb gun even, or anything that severe. So, anyway, this fucking idiot you know theme of the show uh goes out there to confront these kids. Her daughter heard a loud pop before watching blue spark drive away and crashing shipping containers. Contraris let me make sure I get his name on here. So, uh, yeah, ruben marcus contraris was charged with attempted first-degree murder and I'm not doing a good job of kind of explaining this, just because some of this stuff you know how these news writers are, man there's a lot of irrelevant information in there and I'm just not going to read to you what the weather was that day. That shit's trash. So I got to skip ahead and just improvise on the fly. I appreciate you for understanding. Anyways, contreras runs back up to the driver's side of the Spark and appears to pull out a firearm from the right side of his waistband. Sedgwick County. Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office detective wrote an affidavit obtained by the Wichita Eagle. Fuck, wichita Contreras has the firearm in his right hand, sticks his right hand in the open window of the driver's side backseat area. It is at this point that contraris fires one round into the vehicle. Contraris was armed with a nine millimeter smith wesson handgun. Fuck, smith wesson. And I mean, I guess right, I don't know, people carry nine millimeters because this is a fun fact. I don't know if you know this. A lot of people say or like these, licensed, carry whatever the fuck. I don't know, I don't do any of it or, you know, have anything to do with any of it, but I do know this because I read and you know, try to be knowledgeable. That's why I'm over here telling you about some shit. But anyway, they recommend, if you're like a concealed carry holder, that you carry a nine millimeter because you can carry more ammo in a stack. Or, however, if it's staggered, whatever's in the magazine, you could do that because you can carry more ammunition. And the reason behind that is if you're in a situation and your host uh may happen to know a thing or two about this if you don't understand why I'm saying that, just peep back to past episodes. Uh, anyway, they do that because when you're in a firefight, your fucking adrenaline's going. There's shit going on, somebody's shooting back at you it's just not a silhouette on a target and, uh, you know you need more ammunition in the mag. So they tell civilians to get those because they can carry more ammunition. This guy apparently really wanted to use it. Anyway, long story short. The kid did live, hence the attempted murder charge, but the bullet did cause significant damage to his body. The teen was initially hospitalized at St Francis in Wichita in critical condition Before being transferred to Madonna. Why is it name Madonna, whatever? Madonna Rehabilitation Facility in Omaha, nebraska? I mean, that's just. That's the gist of the story and my point on the whole thing is it's fucking stupid, man. It is stupid why. Why'd this have to happen? I mean this dude I don't know how big he was, I don't know how big the kid was, but if you ran up on the vehicle after the fact, after it already drove away and crashed, you pulled out your pistol after the fact and stuck it in the window and shot a fucking kid man. He had to have seen, there had to have been evidence, like I mean, look, I'm not just speaking, it's not about me, right, it's about the kid. I'm saying I'm fucking talking off experience here. You stick your head in that window after the fact and you know you got the upper hand and, and, and, and this kid ain't moving or he's probably fucking scared, and this piece of shit pulls out a fucking pistol and shoots him again, unless the article is reading wrong, that's the way I'm understanding it and fuck that dude man over that bullshit. And fuck the girl too, because the kid probably fucking knew. You know what she thought was gonna happen. She thought she was gonna go get her daddy. She didn't want to be assassinated, she's gonna run get her daddy and daddy was gonna punk the kids and and, and, and and. She was gonna get the last laugh. Well, obviously not right. It's again just follows the theme of the show. You know what I mean. Like that's, I don't know. This is the best thing I think. Talk of test out this mic today. Just dumb asses. Excuse me, I was trying to look for something here, so here's another. Uh, we'll just segue. This is a clean segue. It's what they call in the business, a professional segue. It's really not, though. It's just. The only thing that these two events have in common is that they involve idiots. I wonder if the mic picked that up. We're going to find out when it comes to editing. So we got a lady here out of Utah these are big-name states, right here. We got Kansas. We got Utah, these are big-name states, right here. We got Kansas, we got Utah. So this idiot and she you know, look, when you get fucked up doing something stupid and you're in the hospital bed all fucked up, look, I already admitted at the beginning of the show I did something stupid, not, you know, not nowhere near this level of stupid, and you know, you kind of always got like a I don't know man who knows, I don't want to, I do wanna. I do want to speculate even further. Anyway, this retard. Hey man, if you email me and tell me not to say retard, you might as well just fucking save your keystrokes. Fucking, you know. Put that shit with the carpal tunnel from. Wherever else you're gonna get it from, you're wasting your time. I'm not gonna stop saying it. I'm not talking about the handicapped or anything like that. I'm talking about idiots. The same thing is calling something gay. I don't know when the fuck we stopped being able to call something gay. I guess in june, I who knows man. But well, even when I say like yo man, that shit gay is a motherfucker. I'm not even talking about a homosexual, I'll just. It's just a word, man, I don't know. Everybody's got words for everything and y'all can keep all that. When I say, send me your comments, concerns, complaints or otherwise, keep those to your fucking self. I could care less. We're not going to play this game. You know what I mean. In this house, we believe that when you're born a boy, you're born a boy, and when you're born a girl, you're born a girl. You know what I mean? Mean you ain't got to believe in any particular religion or political stance or anything like that, but we definitely ain't gonna sit here and just pretend that words that meant nothing. For since I've been alive, I'm fucking 43. That's how behind I am on these episodes. I forgot that I had a birthday in between this episode and the one before it. But old age and senility is just all on my ass. But anyway, this dumb bitch and she posts it. Why do these people post their fucking pictures online when they're all fucked up in the hospital? You know why? Because they do GoFundMe bullshit. I did a beef man. I don't know if y'all listen. I'm going to shout him out. I don't mind, he don't need my fucking, he don't need me to say it, but I'm going to say it anyway. Jim Rome, he has a segment. He's a very he's a fantastic sports radio show host and I look up to him for his ability behind these microphones. But, that being said, he started a segment called the beef segment. Uh, back in the day had it been 2018, 2019, maybe even a little bit earlier than that started a beef segment and you know, you could just call up and just this is my beef for the day. And so I practiced, you know, a couple of rounds and it finally came time. Dude's got millions of listeners. You know it's. It's kind of um, it's kind of uh. Man, I wish I would have known that I was going to bring this up or I would have just pulled up the audio. To be honest, I don't know if cbs owns it or not, but I own the content that I said that day because I wrote it, and I'll say that I said this, that you know my beef because your beef was just whatever. You know what I mean. At the. At the beginning you had a lot of leeway there, would you? You could move around, and one of my beefs was is like you know, I got beef with people who abuse gofundme. They do something stupid and then they ask us all to chip in for their mistakes. They want to jump off a fiery rooftop or they want to jump off to a rooftop onto a fiery glass table and expect us to chip in for stitches, skin grafts and surgery. You see where I'm going with that. And listen now. That didn't sound as clean as it could have it. Definitely. I spit that flawless the first time I ever did it on air. I just don't remember it. The shit was five years ago, but you got the gist of it right. So, anyway, this retard, I just don't remember it. This shit was five years ago, but you got the gist of it right. So, anyway, this retard here, here's the headline, and this will tell you where I'm going Bride-to-be thrown from truck bed day before wedding. So where would he say we're at? We're in Utah. These are I think this is the liberal state, right? Is Kansas? I don't know if Kansas is. Is red or blue? Who gives a fuck? Does got riley there? I think that's the biggest military installation. Or is that ford? Uh, cavasso, what do they call the one in colleen? Now, I forget, it used to be ford hood, well-deserved name anyway. Uh, bride to be from utah was thrown from the bed of a pickup truck the day before a wedding, according to officials with the Utah Department of Transportation, alex and Lydia Kissinger. Now let me just ask you that I'm reading this in real time with you right now, telling you all about it courtesy of this one's on KCBD here in Lubbock, and they're fucking trash. So all of this may be null and void, but who knows? Anyway, no, it's probably the misprint that's courtesy. Anyway, I digress. My bad, my bad, my bad. So, according to officials with the us department of transportation, alex and lydia kissinger now how can they be alex and lydia kissinger if this was the day before their wedding was? Was this the day before their like? I mean, they had a shotgun wedding. Obviously you can't be this fucking, you can't be this stupid and not get married in your backyard by your grandfather. I don't fucking, I just don't. There's no way Anyway. So they were trying to move a king-size mattress to the new home. Put your money out. What's over under? If it was a trailer, what's the over under? I wonder if the mic picked up when I hit the desk. My new desk is dope. By the way, that shit is supposed to be carbon fiber. I'm not positive, but it sounds good when you smack it. I bet these people maybe they were brother and sister, because Alex and Lydia Kessinger. Maybe that explains the same last name. Anyway, they were trying to move this mattress to a new home by having Lydia lie on top of it in the back of the truck to keep it from flying away. So I got a couple questions here. My first question would be this If you're the husband or the soon-to-be husband, right, you got to weigh more than the. You obviously weigh more than your wife does, would, I would hope. Unless you're one of these beta males, then you probably don't. But that's neither here nor there. Doesn't say obviously. Uh, well, it does say that, uh, while driving 50 miles an hour, the mattress fell off the bed of the truck, taking lydia with it. Uh, despite suffering I'll finish the article before I finish my my opinion on this but despite significant road rash, she did manage to reach the side of the road without being hit by oncoming traffic. Crackheads are fast, bro, they move. This probably ain't even the first time this shit has happened to her. But that's neither here nor there. Anyway, yo, let's say you're, I don't know, just medium. I think maybe I'm slightly under For sure on height, I'm only 5'6". But let's just say you're an average redneck and you're like I'm just basing this off of the picture here man, bleach streaked highlights. You're taking a picture and you're just all fucked up. These are retards. Anyway, dude's got to be 200 pounds, he's probably six foot. He probably can't spell six foot, but wouldn't he have had a better option to get on the fucking mattress while they drove? It doesn't specify, because the article, you know they get these interns now they write articles that lack the who, what, when, where, why, how, all that shit. I'm just I'm gonna speculate for you, but I'm gonna assume that they were driving three blocks from her mother's house to his father's house, or just who the fuck knows anyway. Point is that's stupid. Why didn't the dude get on the fucking mattress or what I I don't know? Fucking put a little rope, tie the shit down, instead of sticking a human on top of it and driving 50 miles an hour on lord knows what highway in the middle of utah. Is utah windy? Does anybody know? Because I've not. I'm not going to Utah, I have no plans to be in Utah. Oh, nothing, man, we're getting to that, we're getting to that here. But I'm not fixing to bounce without just, uh, talking a little bit about Miss Alabama. Y'all seen her? It's a big bitch. The uh, you know she promotes inclusivity and representation of all bodies and she just says that we all need to accept obesity and obesity is healthy and beautiful. Is this the world? This is where we're at now. This is the standard for what, for for children to look at and be like. Ah man, I'm not saying you gotta look like a supermodel. You gotta look like a fucking action figure if you're male or female, I'm not saying any of that, but this obviously is not promoting any kind of healthy lifestyle. And then, on top of all the the the you know, I don't know much about these pageants. Honestly, I think it's full of shit. If you characterize yourself based strictly and solely off your looks, I find you to be a piece of shit, human being in the first place. Eventually, all that shit is going to fade, and maybe that's why she won. Maybe she just had the most amazing interview ever, I don't really know. But if she's all about this woke shit, then probably not. You know what I mean? It's probably just a uh, it's like everything else that we've discussed thus far. It's stupid, it's a pointless. Everybody gets a trophy type. This big old bitch is where I got curtains in my living room that are smaller than this bitch's dress, flowing in the wind, I don't know. Probably bad jokes, shitty timing, but this is where I mean the bar has been set so low in this country at this point. Isn't it just basically feasible for you? Literally anyone could succeed. I might even succeed at this podcast someday. You never know, man, I keep growing out this fucking dad bod. I'll tell you what I'll be, mr alabama, up in this, motherfucker, I don't know. I just I don't get it, man, I don't get any of it, though I don't get the swimsuit ads, the swimsuit models, any of these pageants. You heard the audio from the one chick back in the day where, like, uh, such as the iraqi, I don't know, I, I don't know enough about it to reference it. I'm pretty sure if you're halfway intelligent you understand what I'm talking about, or maybe I'm not even articulating it the best, but I am rusty and this is a new microphone. Anything can happen. We still got a lot of exciting stuff coming up in the show. I did want to touch base and just say what's up, see how this mic works, see how y'all doing Appreciate the emails and love that I got for birthday wishes and things like that. Everybody that's out there, man, that continues to support the show. We hope we don't let you down and we're going to continue to keep this thing striving, keep this thing moving, all setbacks aside. Hey, you know what do they say? It's like past conversation is the lowest form, or conversations about the past is the lowest form of dialogue, some shit like that. You get it. Tony Soprano said it. It's got to be true. Listen, I don't want to take up no more of your time. I will continue to update you on the comedy shit as soon as I figure it out for myself. I just want to do good, I want to write good, I want to have material. I don't want to wait forever. You know I'm saying you gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta crack that seal, you know. But anyway, uh, we do appreciate you being here. I appreciate your time, appreciate all your input. Continue to hit us up, follow me at special opera radio, on x, hit me up at special opera radiocom or at outlookcom.

I'm Tex, terry, terry Masu, terry Vontaehas, plain old Terry, Miss Terry, man, I'm getting good at these. Alright, this is your boy.
