The Man Who Scammed for 1,000 Free Meals

Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here. On today’s Simple Joe for Thursday, November 6, 2025, I kick things off with the wild fact that the shortest commercial flight in the world is a 1 minute 14 second hop between Westray and Papa Westray, then I chat Toronto, Ontario’s three-day forecast and tip my cap to Blue Jays fans after that epic World Series, share birthdays for Sally Field, Maria Shriver, Ethan Hawke, Pat Tillman, and Rebecca Romijn (roe-MAYN), mark historic moments from the first college football game and Art Modell’s move of the Browns to Baltimore, and note today’s celebrations, National Nachos Day, National Basketball Day, and World Paper Free Day. My Interesting Story digs into the verified case of a man in Nagoya who used the Demae-can app’s refund process to score about 1,095 free meals, a reminder that even in a digital world honesty matters and there is no such thing as a free lunch. I also mention my upcoming two-week Europe trip Email me at joe@thesimplejoe.com or send me a text at 513.399.6468. Just say hi, I would love to hear from you.
