Serial Granny - Burlington, North Carolina

Marathoning Snapped and the opening of an episode sounded so familiar. Once I confirmed that it was the same case, I delighted in telling my BIL about this batshit STM episode!

Don't feel sorry for granny. My neighbor across the street is over 100. Still walks to the store with her little cart and won't accept rides. She shovels snow in WI and the store round trip is 3 miles. She also gardens and I'm going on my 14th year where I live and she was in her 90s back then. She does not shake and can't weigh 90#s and is under 5'

Sarah, brilliant nickname for Dan Abrams! Also, I re-did my kitchen in 2024 and by the end I wanted divorce myself.😂

Can I get a ringtone of James saying “C’MONNNN”

A girl on one of my sports teams got diagnosed with Guillain Barre when she was 14/15. If I remember correctly the doctors concluded she was one of those extremely rare cases where a vaccination triggered it. I can’t imagine just waking up paralyzed one day like that. Fortunately she was able to learn to walk again

Shit chemo 🤣

Jimmy says, “NICE BROOCH, BITCH!” and my coffee came out my nose 🤣☕️

“Like air out of a basketball you ran over…pddumph.” 😂😂😂

I love listening to James trying to pronounce all this medical terminology 😂

Nice to know the Kroger bullshit has lasted over the years. Sexual Harassment For Everyone!

Haven't listened yet, but my girlfriend said it was hilarious. By the way Jimmy. She's T Potts, not T Potty. She loved the shout out though

Here’s the TV movie! https://youtu.be/cTr5nUyqm48?is=spgQQcFVvXUu2jil

I just picture that guy that said "you ready for this?" shutting the door behind them in a conference room. As soon as the lock clicks, the lights go out, strobe lights start, he rips off his tear-away dress pants and "Get Ready For This" by 2 Unlimited blasts overhead and he starts hip thrusting at poor Calamity Blanche! 😱 Dick flopping around to the beat, his arms over his head going up & down also to the beat..."Y'ALL READY FOR THIS!" Yes, I'm sick in the head.

I can't believe it took 4 years for my sister to convince me to listen to you guys! Love binge listening now. More than willing to donate the 5 bucks. Plan to increase it soon. Please come to Raleigh and Boston in 2027 so we can go!

Michael Jackson was 8 of 10. I think he managed to stand out a little bit

Burlington coat factory was founded in Burlington, NJ in 1972.

I could live on that settlement and just bartend

Real hard to find in northern California

Cheerwine is the best soda ever

"A History of Calamity and Misfortune" is going to be the title of my memoir 😂

Wow!!!

Plasmapheresis is where they do plasma exchange with other people’s plasma. It is used for situations like this and a lot of other different diseases. It was actually used on Covid patients.

James says when I die, throw me in the garbage if I lived to be that old, my attitude is throw me in the woods and let the animals eat on me when you’re dead. You’re dead. It’s a lot cheaper and easier than what they make people do and the money that people spend for funerals and cremation. I’m going to at least donate my body to science first though. it’s too bad we couldn’t do it the way they did back in the olden days when people can bury their loved ones on their property.

Acute is a condition that is current and needs treated vs chronic which is ongoing and usually not curable but you can treat the symptoms. Acute kidney failure vs chronic kidney failure. 🩷

Blanche is 93 years old!

9mm

Men lose interest in murder midlife because their testosterone drops. Women murder later in life because ours rises, and we have patience for NO ONE anymore!

My mum went into cardiac arrest and she had two symptoms that was excessive sweating and she got nauseous. She was on a treadmill so she just attributed it to that paramedics got right to the house in time for her first arrest. Revived her she arrested again. They revived her again and now she is in the most perfect house of anybody in our family.

My father had dengue and this dr had said no water but apple juice - a couple of days later his blood work stats are totally off and not from the dengue . Turns out he had drank 3 litres of apple juice a day and was basically giving himself a light arsenic poisoning

"I've never seen my grandmother's cleavage"

As a graduate of North Forsyth, I have to say Forsyth is pronounced with a long "I". For-Sighth.

Kroger was founded and is based out of Cincinnati

Ted Bundy 😂😂 he came in his pants and now he’s dead hahaha

275K is 800k these days 🙃

"Acute" is opposite of "chronic" in medical terminology

My hometown. I grew up when this was going on and suggested it to the boys years ago. Glad to see it made it!

Kroger started in Cincinnati, OH … but I know you don’t care! Lol

Not for nothing. I design electrical systems for emergency vehicles and the unit I am currently looking at is destined Burlington, NC.

I don’t know which is the funniest..James and Jimmie giving their take on medical stuff or on sports they aren’t familiar with (If you’re not listening to Crime In Sports, why not? 😂).

Gramma? Gramma? Wake up...Ya gotta make the gravy!

My aunt developed Guillain-Barré around 2005 or 2006, and she is still barely able to walk and uses a wheel chair most of the time. On the other hand I worked for a man that developed it after having pneumonia and he made a full recovery

Nice broach bitch ☠️😂

I had a guy who surprised me by pointing at his naked penis saying "Meet Mister Happy!" 🤣🤣🤣 We weren't making out or anything, so I started to laugh and Mister Happy became Mister Sad fast!

PlasmaFareeses sounds like. It’s like a machine that works as your kidneys and they load donated plasma in it. I had to have that done. It’s like a Hail Mary for saving your organs.

Oh grandma!

My boyfriend was just diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome less than a year ago. He lost sensation in his hands and feet. It’s terrible.

Im about 99.9% sure kroger is from ohio lol

We have a Ruler Foods here, which is the Kroger Aldi's.

Innocent and sexy...life goals

Fred Meyer is Kroger in the Northwest

Just had to comment while listening to the reviews to say that “It’s pretty well” is NOT proper grammar. Hahaha

Loved the graphic description of the man standing with just a dress shirt on. Balls hanging. “How about this”.

Elizabeth Montgomery played Lizzie Borden too!

Yayyyy... I've been waiting for the guys to do this story! I remember when her trial was here in Winston-Salem, and the book about her was one of the first true crime books I ever read.

I don’t think I’m going to recover from the puddle in Bangladesh.

So hilarious the medical terminology. I’m a nurse love it.

My Italian grandmother was the same... definitely not afraid of cleavage.

Broke: Being a Dapper Dan man. Woke: Being an Anti Ant woman.

My daughter has Retts Syndrome and Say-Barber-Biesecker-Young-Simpson Syndrome. (5 Dr's names..) and I haven't walked into traffic...yet...but I've defintley stood on the sidewalk and glanced😉

HIS NAME IS SATAAAAAAAAN WOOHOOOO

My husbands aunt had Guillain-Barré

🥰Jimmie is so cute the way he interprets things I love it. I'm over here quietly nurse-splaining medical terms to him 😂

Iryna’s Law is named for the woman that was stabbed to death on the charlotte light rail by an allegedly schizophrenic man. It was insanely politicized before mostly being overtaken by Charlie Kirk’s death. Not surprised that they used it to pass some draconian shit.

I also thought it was secret Asian man and was equally confused until my mom explained 😆

You can try to shake us Quakers, but we’ll just shush you and tell you to be still.

I remember watching a guitar comic in the 80s who ashe did his act, he unpacked his guitar, tuned it as he went, then put it away as he finished his set without ever playing the guitar. I thought that shit was great.

Went to the Red Robin’s in Burlington like last week .

Elizabeth Montgomery also played Lizzie Borden in the tv movie from 1975.

I too soooo thought it was "secret Asian man" for far too long! 🤣

The Piedmont Triad area confused me when I lived there. It is the triangle area formed by Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point.

If you keep just the shirt on with nothing below, can we call it Jim Jonesing it?

I'm listening to this in Mebane imagining how mad James would get if he found out how it's pronounced

Moved to Burlington like 8 years ago. I like it here. Have had a few employees tell me the tale of Blanche over the years. Good to hear the in depth story

I knew 4 people who got diagnosed with Guillain Barre (gee-yon bar-ay) Syndrome all in the same year. Only 1 is still alive. He still has some of the symptoms but he's living well.

Kroger’s comes from Ohio!!

I've said it before but worth repeating, the Kroger pepperoni pizza rolls are the best out there! They use wonton wrapper so they're so crispy from the oven!

So glad I'm not the only one who misheard the lyric as "secret Asian man"

Oops folk

If it couldn't any crazier. Oh those righteous filk

Adult film star Jenna Jameson, couldn’t walk for sometime due to Guillain Barre syndrome.

Yay! My hometown! Well, technically Efland and Hillsborough, which are a town over. I went to prom with one of my best friends in Alamance County. This is gonna be fun to hear the boys make fun! 😂

Life expectancy in the US in 1966 was 67 years old for men and 74y for women. So dying at 62y isn’t a good run. Life expectancy nowadays is 75y for men and 81y for women. I guess extending lifespans by 7-8 years is good but after 60 years you’d think we’d have been more successful. Other developed countries are in the 80s. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/lifetables/life66.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/life-expectancy.htm

Had Guillian-Barre. Most definitely would give zero stars if I could.

YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!
