00:00Can Flavor Flav save a sinking ship with a seafood feast, bird poo turning flower beds
00:06into a high society garden, and laxatives in lunchboxes for sweet, messy revenge?
00:14All this and more tonight on 6SAT Society.
00:24Welcome to 6SAT Society where we dive deep into the weirdest and wildest stories from
00:29around the globe.
00:30First up, a move that feels straight out of a surrealist comedy.
00:35Flavor Flav is throwing a lifeline to Red Lobster.
00:40This iconic seafood chain, currently drowning in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, has decided that
00:46the best way to stay afloat is by launching Flavor Flav's Faves.
00:55Let's break down this Hail Mary pass of a menu item.
00:59A Maine Lobster Tail, Snow Crab Legs, Garlic Shrimp Scampi, Bacon Mac and Cheese, and your
01:08choice of a side.
01:11This isn't just a meal, it's a last supper for your taste buds if you live through the
01:15meal.
01:16Now if you've ever wondered what rock bottom looks like for a restaurant, it's when they
01:21have to rely on an 80's rapper to bail them out.
01:26Can you imagine the boardroom meeting?
01:29We need to save the company.
01:31How about we get the guy with the giant clock from the 80's to endorse our food?
01:38That's where we're at folks.
01:39And to add to the absurdity, this meal isn't even on the printed menu.
01:44You have to ask your server for it like it's some kind of a seafood speakeasy like, psst,
01:49can I get the Flavor Flav special?
01:53It's like they're ashamed to admit they're betting their future on a man whose most famous
01:58contribution to society is shouting yeah boy into a microphone.
02:06You gotta get to Red Lobster and give it a try because this signature meal is hype boy.
02:12Okay, alright, that's what he says?
02:15He's still using hype?
02:17See that's another problem.
02:18Is this Red Lobster's core audience, Flavor Flav's people?
02:23Because he's like 70, isn't he?
02:26He's up there.
02:28He's in his late 60's.
02:30And I'm not trying to diss Flavor Flav.
02:31I met Flavor Flav once in LA at a party.
02:34I was sitting in a booth with him, hanging out with Elijah Dushku and her dog.
02:40Amy Balsam, thanks for that, I had a great time that night.
02:43It was like a post-Grammys award thing.
02:46He's a nice dude, but he fell asleep in the booth.
02:49I'm like, just go home.
02:51Flav's love of Red Lobster came to light on June 3rd when he posted a photo of himself
02:55surrounded by every seafood item on the menu.
03:00And get this, he wasn't just showing off.
03:02He actually ordered everything to save the Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
03:07That's right, while some people rescue stray dogs or volunteer at soup kitchens.
03:12Flavor Flav's act of charity is single-handedly trying to save a chain restaurant's most favorite
03:18carb bomb.
03:20The irony here is thicker than the melted butter he's dipping his lobster in.
03:24But hey, if it works, maybe next week we'll see Snoop Dogg launching a line of gourmet
03:30hot dogs to save Nathan's Famous.
03:33In his own words, you gotta get the Red Lobster and give it a try because this signature meal
03:39is hype boy.
03:41Ah, the culinary endorsement of our times, easily.
03:44Why not just buy the recipe from them?
03:48Problem solved, right?
03:49I get it, I get it, but it's just a biscuit.
03:52When you say that, in England, they serve french fries at KFC.
03:57So I live over here, I can't even get the biscuit.
04:00I don't even want the KFC.
04:02Sometimes you just want that southern, that biscuit, right?
04:07We went to Barbados, and they have KFC, and I'm like, oh, they use dollars here, I bet
04:12you they got biscuits.
04:13I walked a mile, the island's only like, what, three miles?
04:16I walked a mile, go to KFC, they had the biscuits, it was a Christmas gift from the KFC gods.
04:25I don't even know where I'm going with this, but this will all be deleted.
04:30The biscuits were horrible.
04:32They were hard as rocks, and it was just not good.
04:34My wife named our son after her first love, and hid the truth for five years.
04:40No, we're, no.
04:42Next story.
04:43Oh, moving on to greener pastures, or rather, greener flowerbeds, residents of Ride Isle
04:50of White recently discovered two cannabis plants growing amongst their council-managed
04:56floral display.
04:58The suspected source?
05:00Bird poo.
05:01Yeah, bird poo.
05:03Our feathered friends might be the new drug mules, spreading kush one dropping at a time.
05:10The flowerbeds, initially planted by the charity Halen's Farm, turned into an impromptu botanical
05:16drug experiment.
05:18Locals were left in stitches when plant recognition technology identified the mystery shrubs as
05:24marijuana.
05:26Marijuana!
05:29Imagine strolling past your local supermarket and seeing a palm-leafed plant that promises
05:36more than just oxygen.
05:38One of the residents said it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen all week.
05:43All week?
05:44They live a crazy life.
05:45We need to get them on the show.
05:47Honestly, with the state of the world, accidental weed gardens might be the comic relief we
05:53all need.
05:54Halen's Farm, which helps those with learning disabilities, speculated that the plants either
06:02came from a local prankster or, hilariously, from bird poo.
06:07Just picture it.
06:08Pigeons as the unintentional Johnny Appleseeds of the weed world.
06:13Local residents said no need to remove them, they'll be gone by the morning.
06:17How many people are walking around town right now?
06:20Midtown Council has been approached for comment, but let's be honest, they're probably too
06:24busy trying to figure out how to turn this into a tourist opportunity.
06:29Come for the floral displays, stay for the contact hive.
06:32It's not the first time birds have played a role in spreading cannabis.
06:36Back in 2015, a man found weed growing amongst his petunias, also believed to have sprouted
06:42from bird droppings.
06:43At this rate, we'll need to start drug testing our garden birds.
06:47One online commenter suggested councils allow tenants to smoke weed in their estates and
06:54in their housing, so why not just let them grow it as well.
06:59Solid argument for anyone looking to greenify their neighborhood in more ways than one.
07:04I don't know.
07:05Who knows.
07:06But we'll say it was the birds.
07:07And I'm not promoting the...
07:09Use whatever you want to use.
07:11Delete that.
07:12Delete it.
07:13Next story.
07:14My dog walked in wearing mother-in-law's dentures.
07:17I couldn't stop laughing.
07:19I wanted to do this one, but there was no picture of the dog.
07:23In this day and age, this is like when you go and you see the people at the Miami mall
07:27and they're like, there are 20-foot aliens and all the footage looks like they got iPhone
07:323s.
07:33I'm not going to do it.
07:34There's no picture.
07:35Anyway, next story.
07:36Now, for the piece de resistance, a story that proves revenge is a dish best served
07:44with laxatives.
07:45In an office saga worthy of a sitcom, one man's lunch was repeatedly stolen by a shameless
07:51coworker.
07:52After 12 complaints to HR fell on deaf ears, he turned to his doctor for advice.
07:58That's what you do, right?
07:59The solution?
08:00A prescription-grade laxative mixed into his lunch.
08:05Wow.
08:06The next time the thief struck, they got more than they bargained for.
08:10About an hour after lunch, our protagonist approached HR to report his stolen lunch and
08:16medication.
08:18The thief, found in the bathroom regretting every life decision, accused him of poisoning
08:24the food.
08:25HR's reaction was priceless.
08:27So, you got hit by the lunch thief again and your medicine was in the bag?
08:34He replied with a grin, yes, I have had some digestive problems and my doctor prescribed
08:40a powerful laxative and advised me to mix it in with my mid-day meal.
08:46HR's faces went whiter than a ghost.
08:50Stealing prescribed medication is a criminal offense, the police recalled.
08:54The thief, now facing charges and likely looking for a new job, learned a hard lesson about
09:00stealing someone's food, or maybe a soft lesson, I don't know.
09:05Reddit users praised the man's ingenious revenge, with one even sharing a story about
09:11a diabetic co-worker whose lunch thief ended up in a prison.
09:15Another user called the doctor the goat for suggesting the laxative plan.
09:20That is kind of a cool doctor if he's like, I got you bro.
09:24One user summed it up perfectly, I love how people who steal food are treated like a nuisance
09:30rather than a piece of shit that they are.
09:33It's no different than stealing money from someone's wallet, kind of is because I paid
09:37for the food, I made the time to make the food, anyway.
09:41And there you have it, sometimes the best way to deal with a lunch thief is to make
09:45sure they spend the rest of the day on the porcelain throne.
