Get ready to shake your head and chuckle through the absurdity of real life on Jamie and Chris' Don't Be an Idiot Podcast! This episode kicks off with a time capsule miracle: a heartfelt message in a bottle from two World War I Australian soldiers, penned in 1916, washes ashore on a remote beach 109 years later—proof that some stories are worth the wait. Then, in a purr-fectly bizarre divorce twist, a man in Istanbul agrees to fork over 10,000 Turkish liras (about $240) every three months in "cat alimony" to support his ex's two feline ex-kids—for up to a decade or until they chase their last yarn ball. Things get wilder stateside with a pet monkey breaking free in a Plano, Texas, Spirit Halloween store, swinging from rafters like a furry Tarzan and turning shoppers' spooky night into primate pandemonium—finally coaxed down with a cookie. And in a scandal that hits too close to home, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey's western deputy director, LaMar Cook, gets the boot after a massive cocaine bust—8 kilograms intercepted en route to a state office, proving power trips can go very wrong.We cap it off with "You Know You're from Massachusetts When..."—from pledging allegiance to Dunkin' over coffee to navigating rotary roundabouts like a pro (or a total idiot). Packed with history, hilarity, and "what were they thinking?" moments, this ep is your antidote to boring news. Hit play, share the chaos, and remember: in a world full of bottled secrets and monkey business, don't be the one making headlines for all the wrong reasons!Keywords:WWI message in bottleAustralian beach discoveryCat alimony divorceTurkey pet custodyMonkey escape Halloween storePlano Texas primate chaosMassachusetts cocaine bustGovernor Healey stafferMassachusetts stereotypesWicked local humorAbsurd news storiesPodcast comedyCategories:ComedyNews & Politics (satirical takes on scandals and history)Society & CulturePets & AnimalsHistoryHashtags:#DontBeAnIdiotPodcast #WWIMessageInABottle #CatAlimony #MonkeyInHalloweenStore #MACocaineBust #MassachusettsVibes #BizarreNews #TimeCapsuleFind #PetDivorceDrama #WickedFunny #IdiotStories #PodcastChaos
