If Tiger King has taught us anything it’s that there is a ferocious appetite for news stories about absolute disaster people. In that spirit, each night during the 9 and 10 o’clock hours I enjoy playing a game with you, the listener, called Florida or Australia. The rules are simple: I’ll tell you about a news story on the air and you text or call in and tell me if you think the story happened in Florida or Australia. (because those two places seem to have a high concentration of craziness.) Tonight much like Fridays is a special wildcard edition where I ask you to determine if the stories are homegrown crazy or imported from other countries. Here are tonight’s stories:

Do As My T-Shirt Says, Not As I Do

A North Dakota man on probation for narcotics possession was wearing a "Don't Do Drugs" t-shirt when he was arrested yesterday for methamphetamine possession. Esequiel Robles, 40, was collared following a traffic stop in Williston. A search of his vehicle turned up a baggie containing meth and a spoon with meth residue, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in District Court.

School apologises after asking children to draw very offensive owl

A headteacher has apologised to pupils and parents after a "lazy" teacher sent an offensive worksheet to hundreds of children. Year Seven pupils at Holderness Academy and Sixth Form College were surprised when they downloaded the art worksheet which "clearly had not been checked before it was sent out".

Be sure to tune in Monday through Friday nights at 9 and 10pm if you want to play along.
