Speaker 2: in friends. On a Thursday here on the show, we
Speaker 2: have so many things to get into. We are going
Speaker 2: to require some of your help today. We want you
Speaker 2: to do something special with us here on the show.
Speaker 5: Today.
Speaker 2: We'll talk a little bit about what that means and
Speaker 2: how you can be involved as we roll on with
Speaker 2: the show. Well, right now, let's get started as we
Speaker 2: always do. Let's put our ears to the ground, our
Speaker 2: fingers on the pulse, unless see what's happening to this great, big,
Speaker 2: wide world of ours. And we go to the baseball field.
Speaker 2: Everybody's that's right, Truest Park, Sea Lane, Truest Park. Some
Speaker 2: baseball action going on, and the baseball teams are playing
Speaker 2: baseball against the other baseball teams. As the organist decided
Speaker 2: to queue up one of the tried and true songs
Speaker 2: that everybody likes to sing along too, and it really
Speaker 2: is one of the best organists songs into things that
Speaker 2: happens on the field, into announcer calls in the history
Speaker 2: of sports. Get your spines ready, because they're gonna be
Speaker 2: a chill in here.
Speaker 4: We go.
Speaker 2: Batter steps up to the play.
Speaker 4: I'm take Me.
Speaker 1: Home, Country Roads, that's right.
Speaker 2: Also heard country Roads that he hit the country ball nice?
Speaker 2: I mean, come on nice the organist, which is that
Speaker 2: sort of a like a it's almost a lost.
Speaker 4: Art of playing the organ is it. No, it's not
Speaker 4: a lost art like you. I think people become organists
Speaker 4: because they like know how to play piano.
Speaker 5: Could you do it like you know how to play piano.
Speaker 4: I think it would take some practice with the amount
Speaker 4: of melody you play, because I I play better piano
Speaker 4: as an accompaniment to singing, right, So I don't like
Speaker 4: if I was playing country Roads, I would just be
Speaker 4: doing the chords and it wouldn't sound like country roads
Speaker 4: necessarily unless you know you were a musician. You knew that, right,
Speaker 4: But my right hand, like the on the organist job,
Speaker 4: his right hand has to play that melody by that's
Speaker 4: how you know what song it is. So it would
Speaker 4: take practicing. But I think it's it's people who like
Speaker 4: play piano or or learn, you know, keyboards in general,
Speaker 4: and then they go, hey, this this minor league team
Speaker 4: or this this community team needs an organ player, and
Speaker 4: you just kind of figure out that you can get
Speaker 4: little gigs here and move on from there. But I
Speaker 4: love it.
Speaker 2: Man, it's kind of like it's such a special unique sound.
Speaker 2: When they start playing something like that, the whole crowd
Speaker 2: starts singing country roads, yeah, and then boom, home run,
Speaker 2: and then the announcer goes right into it.
Speaker 1: Any the song.
Speaker 4: Anytime you can get a whole crowd to sing together,
Speaker 4: you know, I already I've already said on the show
Speaker 4: before that it gives me the chills. But if you're
Speaker 4: the one that's doing it, that's a that's a power
Speaker 4: feeling right there.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, And I would think so.
Speaker 4: And there's still a bunch of baseball stadiums and hockey
Speaker 4: uses the organ a lot. So there's there's a handful
Speaker 4: hockey teams use it. And there's a couple people on
Speaker 4: like Instagram, TikTok that universe who are organ players at
Speaker 4: these sports games that like have a gimmick where they
Speaker 4: kind of work in like popular songs and like like
Speaker 4: I'm gonna sneak in a little mister Brightside and then
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, and their channels are actually kind of
Speaker 4: fun to watch.
Speaker 5: I will tell you though.
Speaker 2: Everybody in chat is doing the very predictable thing of
Speaker 2: making all organ jokes.
Speaker 5: Your hand is on your organ Yeah.
Speaker 4: I got thank you guys.
Speaker 2: Thanks thought we could start off in a professional way
Speaker 2: here on the show. Never, no, not with you guys.
Speaker 2: It's just not gonna happen. It wasn't in the cards.
Speaker 6: Ri.
Speaker 4: I p to Bonnie Tyler.
Speaker 2: And I saw somebody said unexpectedly shock death.
Speaker 4: Bonnie Tyler. I saw the same thing, unexpected death, and
Speaker 4: I was like, ah, she was just in a coma.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was sitting there waiting because they said in
Speaker 2: the first flurry of stories it was Bonnie Tyler on
Speaker 2: death's door, Bonnie Tyler brain dead, brought Bonnie Tyler on
Speaker 2: life support, total eclipse of her heart is on.
Speaker 4: The way, and was she one of them? Where the
Speaker 4: family was like, no, she is not on death's door.
Speaker 4: So if there was somebody else recently that people said
Speaker 4: that about, I hears her family.
Speaker 2: It says from Bonnie Tyler's family, Bonnie's family and team
Speaker 2: are heartbroken to announce that Bonnie unexpectedly, they even said
Speaker 2: unexpectedly unexpectedly passed away last night in the hospital in
Speaker 2: Portugal as a result of the illness she was being
Speaker 2: treated for. We will issue a further statement shortly, but
Speaker 2: now we ask for privacy to deal with this tragedy. Now,
Speaker 2: as far as I know, she went in for a
Speaker 2: of surgery that didn't even seem like it was that
Speaker 2: big of a deal when you listened to the reasons
Speaker 2: why Bonnie Tyler was in for a surgery, and there
Speaker 2: was some sort of complications from that, right that, uh.
Speaker 4: I mean screwed up in that respect. I guess the
Speaker 4: whole story is an unexpected death because she was just
Speaker 4: in for something that seemed like a lesser thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did one of those medically induced comas for
Speaker 2: a surgery, you know how sometimes they'll put you under
Speaker 2: like that. That's what it was, because this is Bonnie Tyler,
Speaker 2: seventy four, was resuscitated after going into cardio cardiac arrest
Speaker 2: as doctors tried to bring her out of an induced coma,
Speaker 2: and she remains in the hospital in Portugal following medical emergencies.
Speaker 2: Then now obviously we got the update that she passed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's weird because it sounded expected to us because
Speaker 4: of all the other things that happened. But I guess
Speaker 4: if you take the entire story for what it is,
Speaker 4: it should have just been a routine thing. And then
Speaker 4: she gets out and recovers she.
Speaker 2: Had a rippin' in her intestine, a tear in her intestine,
Speaker 2: the total eclipse of the herd singer and I am
Speaker 2: even wearing my shirt today you are and tribute, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm wearing the I Turnaround Bright.
Speaker 5: Eye shirt from her.
Speaker 2: She was seventy four years old, but she had a
Speaker 2: tear in her intestines and she was doing a bowel
Speaker 2: surgery and they were also going to remove her appendix.
Speaker 2: I guess it was sort of an operation type situation,
Speaker 2: you know, like the game, and you know, the buzzer
Speaker 2: went off, she did not come back.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm glad you really to the point Home says
Speaker 4: the fact that it was the game, because if you hadn't,
Speaker 4: it's just every All of them are usually operation type
Speaker 4: situations and most of those surgeries.
Speaker 2: That's why I felt like I had to keep going
Speaker 2: with the comparison as far as I could.
Speaker 5: Then should have just done a mouth buzz Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So she unfortunately passed away after slipping into a coma there,
Speaker 2: but we'll keep an eye on any updates from the
Speaker 2: family and totally eclips to the heart.
Speaker 5: What was the other big one she had?
Speaker 4: You know what when she was in the coma before
Speaker 4: we did the same thing because they mentioned another song
Speaker 4: and I didn't know it. It was probably bigger overseas
Speaker 4: as she was Welsh lost in France.
Speaker 5: Bro, what is that more than a lover? It's a heartache.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh, holding nat for a heat heron. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 2: good one, man, that's a good one. If you were
Speaker 2: a woman and I was a man, that's that's a
Speaker 2: weird that's a weird thing. And a lot of other
Speaker 2: great songs. So there you go.
Speaker 4: I don't think wait, holding out for a Hero is
Speaker 4: that the one you is?
Speaker 7: That?
Speaker 4: Is that what you were saying?
Speaker 2: So I'm holding up here, I mean from Footloose that's
Speaker 2: a big jam man, everybody nice and everybody.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, I guess I just didn't realize that that
Speaker 4: song was called holding Out for a Hero.
Speaker 2: They say it like over and over and over again. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I know, I know it is I.
Speaker 4: Need a hero?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you would think about it because I.
Speaker 1: Need a hero.
Speaker 2: Yeah the boom boom, Yeah it's so good man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, classic stuff.
Speaker 4: Rest in peace?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Rip Bondie.
Speaker 2: Tyler, Uh, don't get your bowel perforated, don't get in
Speaker 2: that situation, not that you have much control over it,
Speaker 2: but let's see.
Speaker 5: What you have for us before we rip things wide open.
Speaker 2: We got lots of good drama, controversy, all the rest.
Speaker 5: Come join us today.
Speaker 4: Don't talk about bowel perforation and then say rip things
Speaker 4: wide open, Rip them.
Speaker 2: Wide open in there like the like the game operation,
Speaker 2: you know the thing tips of the news junkie dot
Speaker 2: com and Charles emails the show. Charles says, I'm tiny
Speaker 2: hands Jones on the app. Thank you, Charles. Good morning, Sean,
Speaker 2: see Lane, how are you. I was listening to yesterday's
Speaker 2: show on my way to work this morning, and I
Speaker 2: heard you guys talking about I tracking in cars. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this was the story that said in the European Union,
Speaker 2: European Union, so like you know, most of Europe.
Speaker 5: Uh, there are now.
Speaker 2: Official laws in place, in rules that say that every
Speaker 2: new car needs to be able to do facial tracking
Speaker 2: of the drivers. So all new cars in the Europe,
Speaker 2: in European in their marketplace, and then obviously very soon
Speaker 2: I would imagine we would follow in the United States.
Speaker 2: Probably we already have this with some cars. We'll track
Speaker 2: your face. And I said, how do people feel about that, Like,
Speaker 2: do you feel a little wary about your you know,
Speaker 2: your your car basically monitoring your face, videoing you all
Speaker 2: the time. I'm and Charles said, I was listening to
Speaker 2: yesterday's show My Way to work this morning, and I
Speaker 2: heard you talking about eye tracking in cars. I have
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty five high Undai or Hyundai Santa Fe
Speaker 2: that has autonomous driving capabilities and uses eye tracking when
Speaker 2: they're turned on. This thing is so damn annoying. I
Speaker 2: have chronic eye issues and have to wear sunglasses when
Speaker 2: I'm mountain bright sunlight because of how sensitive or not
Speaker 2: the eye tracking is in my Santa Fe. If I'm
Speaker 2: wearing my sunglasses or my regular glasses what transition lenses,
Speaker 2: the car thinks my eyes are off the road. As
Speaker 2: a result, if I'm doing this, I have to choose
Speaker 2: between cruise control or being able to see things. Because
Speaker 2: of this, I typically prefer to drive my other cars that.
Speaker 4: Don't have a self driving function not use the self
Speaker 4: driving function.
Speaker 2: I hope all cars do not implement this feature. Thanks
Speaker 2: for keeping us informed. To keep up the good work,
Speaker 2: Wiggles and Pops, says Charles.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Charles, I mean it seems like the cars
Speaker 4: are having the features. The two reasons I can think
Speaker 4: of for having a camera pointed at you in your
Speaker 4: car is a if you get in an accident, having
Speaker 4: that footage for insurance. And basically, if you're accused of
Speaker 4: driving in a manner where you weren't paying attention, where
Speaker 4: you were doing something else and you can and you
Speaker 4: can use your footage to prove that you were indeed
Speaker 4: eyes on the road everything was hunky dory, then that's
Speaker 4: good for you. The other thing would be the eye
Speaker 4: tracking to make sure you're not, you know, letting the
Speaker 4: car do all the work. Now, I am in favor
Speaker 4: of legislation and advancement and technology to let the car
Speaker 4: do all the work.
Speaker 2: This guy's political. Everybody was.
Speaker 4: I'm political. I just just want I want them to
Speaker 4: allow everybody else to enjoy the same freedoms that they're
Speaker 4: just giving companies like Waimo or Tesla. When Tesla gets
Speaker 4: that s together, you want, you know what you want?
Speaker 4: I think I want to leave my house in the
Speaker 4: morning and get in the backseat of my car, get
Speaker 4: a little work done while it drives me to work.
Speaker 2: And well, one thing that I think you want tell
Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong on this, Zu Lane. You want
Speaker 2: to be able to do all the things that your
Speaker 2: car can already do that you.
Speaker 1: Paid for oh one hundred, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like like the story is about, oh, there's a heater
Speaker 2: in your car, but you have to pay a monthly fee.
Speaker 2: That you've got auto driving capabilities in your car, but
Speaker 2: we're not going to.
Speaker 5: Let you use that.
Speaker 4: The fact that you would put a physical feature in
Speaker 4: a car and then gatekeep it under some subscription is
Speaker 4: wild to me and just just annoyingly insulting. And even
Speaker 4: though it seems a little dangerous, having some having a
Speaker 4: car like that and then having the company come around
Speaker 4: and say, no, you can't have this feature until you
Speaker 4: I asked for it would make me consider hacking the car,
Speaker 4: like like some sort of open source software that says,
Speaker 4: you know what we're this is really just a couple
Speaker 4: of lines of code.
Speaker 2: Here, here's your heaters, Amy says to tips to thethews
Speaker 2: Junkie dot com. Now I see what you guys were
Speaker 2: talking about yesterday. This is the headline I just saw
Speaker 2: on Yahoo News. We beat him again. We always beat
Speaker 2: everybody else, Amy, and she sends along an article about
Speaker 2: the Freedom Fuel gas stations, which reminds me. We had
Speaker 2: a dispatcher, a video dispatcher who I think went to
Speaker 2: one of them yesterday.
Speaker 8: Let's see here it is news Junkie Tarot's pilot reporting
Speaker 8: from the field. Freedom Fuel network does exist in the
Speaker 8: Philadelphia area. He's at one cents a gallon. Have a
Speaker 8: great day there you.
Speaker 5: Go, Thank you, Tarot's pilot.
Speaker 2: He went out to one of those Freedom Fuel locations
Speaker 2: and saw them yesterday. Where the gas is a supposed
Speaker 2: to be cheaper for I don't know how long.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It seems all very weird. There was a lot of
Speaker 2: secrets about what was going on here. But it's a
Speaker 2: gas station that partnered with the Trump administration to make
Speaker 2: gas what was it three four seven forty seven, Yeah,
Speaker 2: three forty seven, which is supposed to be cheaper than
Speaker 2: a lot of other places in Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: Okay, it is in some of them. I'm curious how
Speaker 4: long that last. I don't even know if there's an
Speaker 4: actual partnership with the Trump administration. I just know that
Speaker 4: they're tweeting about it. They're at least doing a little
Speaker 4: bit of advertising for them, right so it seems like
Speaker 4: something that would benefit them for sure.
Speaker 2: At the top of the hour, we were going to
Speaker 2: talk about something. We need your help, we want your help,
Speaker 2: we want you to do something with us today. We
Speaker 2: will talk about that at the top of the hour.
Speaker 2: I will get to when we come back. The most
Speaker 2: emailed story that I have received over the last twenty
Speaker 2: four hours. Of all the viral news stories, this one
Speaker 2: has coming probably fifteen to twenty times in the last
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. So I want to get to this story.
Speaker 2: You could put your guesses in on what story you
Speaker 2: think it is, because we're getting to that. It's coming
Speaker 2: up next on the News Junkie. See Lane, any idea
Speaker 2: what the most viral story of the last day or
Speaker 2: so has been that more people have emailed tips at
Speaker 2: the news Junkie dot com about than any other story
Speaker 2: at all. And he guesses, is it airplane related?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Boy?
Speaker 5: Is it? Yes?
Speaker 3: It is?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I feel like you might have seen this story out
Speaker 5: there somewhere.
Speaker 2: Is it from the weekend? It maybe from the weekend.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out when this actually happened. It
Speaker 2: was from the week Oh yeah, yeah, it is from
Speaker 2: this weekend. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 4: Is it the plane that was landing and got hit
Speaker 4: by fireworks?
Speaker 2: It is not that story.
Speaker 4: Actually, I saw that on Sunday after obviously the fourth
Speaker 4: of July. Everybody's lighting off fireworks, and there was a
Speaker 4: plane coming in and they assumed like they felt a
Speaker 4: hit on their way in, and then they when they landed,
Speaker 4: they had to like go to the gate and have
Speaker 4: all the engineers or whatever, have the flight crew check
Speaker 4: it out. Because and I read that, I went, how
Speaker 4: is this the first time we're just hearing about this?
Speaker 4: How is it that we've never heard Because the access
Speaker 4: to fireworks that go high up in the air is
Speaker 4: pretty pretty common, I would.
Speaker 5: Think, so, yeah, this is I read.
Speaker 4: I read like I looked up, like, what's what is
Speaker 4: the average mortar that you could get, like a consumer mortar,
Speaker 4: and it set one hundred to four hundred feet. Now
Speaker 4: in my neighborhood, four hundred feet is fine, But I
Speaker 4: think the closer you get some of these airports, I
Speaker 4: wonder if they kind of curb their landings during peak
Speaker 4: firework time or if they adjust for that, because you
Speaker 4: would think that we would have heard about this before,
Speaker 4: or like any number of warnings that could send out
Speaker 4: to be like, listen, if you live within this radius
Speaker 4: of an airport, you should not be shooting off. You know,
Speaker 4: some of these some of these things.
Speaker 2: They go high enough that they can impact it obviously,
Speaker 2: you know, as we can see from this, but that's
Speaker 2: not it. Daniel emailed this. He was one of about
Speaker 2: a dozen people to email tips at the news junkie
Speaker 2: dot com.
Speaker 5: Sea Lane.
Speaker 2: Daniel says, Sean, did you see this story? A flight
Speaker 2: instructor in Argentina was training.
Speaker 4: On Yeah, we need to do this real quick, because
Speaker 4: well this is about the fourth of July thing, and
Speaker 4: only the fourth of July. I gotta get this out
Speaker 4: of the way. I don't wonder about.
Speaker 1: As you a guess.
Speaker 4: We're back on a lane through the dark?
Speaker 9: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you saying that this is unrelated? That song is
Speaker 2: unrelated to the story that I'm about to Yes, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: I see Sean. A flight instructor in Argentina was training
Speaker 2: a student in a Cessna, which, for those of you
Speaker 2: who don't know, is a smaller aircraft usually, and the
Speaker 2: flight instructor said, you know what to do, carry on
Speaker 2: and then hurled himself out of the plane without a
Speaker 2: parachute falling to his death. I'm guessing somebody else probably
Speaker 2: sent this in, but just in case, says Dan, Dan,
Speaker 2: you are right. That was the most submitted story over
Speaker 2: the last oh, I don't know, a couple of days. Actually,
Speaker 2: there was a ton of people who sent over this
Speaker 2: story about this flight instructor.
Speaker 4: Now I would just jumped out of the damn plane.
Speaker 4: To my point, I mean, the person was learning to fly.
Speaker 4: The student did land the plane. Uh huh yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: so yeah, at least they were far enough along in lessons.
Speaker 4: One of the weird things I read was that that
Speaker 4: flight instructor had done another lesson and flown with a
Speaker 4: different student earlier in that day.
Speaker 2: How do you feel if you're that student, You're like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, he didn't jump out during my fight.
Speaker 5: For some reason he did? Did he not think I
Speaker 5: was skilled enough?
Speaker 2: Maybe it was like this is uh, never mind, too edgy,
Speaker 2: I'll move on. It's sort of like a why didn't
Speaker 2: it happen to me?
Speaker 4: Thing?
Speaker 2: You know, if all the other kids got touched.
Speaker 5: And you didn't, Oh my gosh, okay.
Speaker 2: Right, here's the story from CNN Flight school pilot jumps
Speaker 2: to his death mid air, leaving a student to land
Speaker 2: the plane.
Speaker 5: So he's in this plane. Here's the guy.
Speaker 2: He's a young, good looking dude, Leandro Bertazzo. He's the
Speaker 2: guy who did this on the fourth of July, and
Speaker 2: he was flying around in a cessna and inside the
Speaker 2: sesna he is talking with the student and then he
Speaker 2: just jumps out. He says, like, you know what to do,
Speaker 2: and then he jumps right out of the plane. So
Speaker 2: here's the story from somebody without a paywall. Student pilot
Speaker 2: lands plane alone after flight instructor jumps to his death
Speaker 2: mid flight. Before jumping, the flight instructor reportedly told the student,
Speaker 2: you know what you have to do. Carry on, carry on,
Speaker 2: he says, and then woom right out of the plane
Speaker 2: and onto the ground. Leandro Andres Bertazzo is found dead.
Speaker 10: Some of the rest of them community are coming together
Speaker 10: to help the people.
Speaker 2: Of course, all the you news websites do not get
Speaker 2: me distracted by this. You are so terrible. You are
Speaker 2: so terrible with your auto play videos and your auto
Speaker 2: stream live streams and the videos that follow you down
Speaker 2: the page, and the website starts talking.
Speaker 4: We're gonna wait till you scroll away from the video
Speaker 4: or the button that can turn off the video. Yes,
Speaker 4: to start playing it. Hey, are you reading an unrelated story?
Speaker 4: Guess what, here's some audio from something else. I don't
Speaker 4: care if you're doing a radio show, which is you
Speaker 4: know what's happening here right now, or if you're just
Speaker 4: kind of hanging out and reading something on your phone
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, your phone's.
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, your website.
Speaker 4: I've been going to restaurants in Denver. Well, have we
Speaker 4: got news for you?
Speaker 2: I don't care about your restaurants. I'm trying to read
Speaker 2: about leandro Bertazzo, for God's sake. He was flying a
Speaker 2: Sessa one fifty with a twenty two year old student.
Speaker 2: Of course there's a pop up. Of course there's a
Speaker 2: pop up when this happens. It was flying a Sessna
Speaker 2: with a I can't deal with it. I can't deal
Speaker 2: with it anymore. It's now redirected me to a story
Speaker 2: about Venezuela. Your websites are I didn't want to do.
Speaker 5: This story anymore. I don't even look at this.
Speaker 2: Look now it's sent me over to a story about Venezuela.
Speaker 2: Not more pop ups more. Now there we go, and
Speaker 2: your websites are in navigable messes to all of you
Speaker 2: local TV stations, even worse on mobile.
Speaker 5: By the way, I was like, oh, here.
Speaker 4: Goes a pop up.
Speaker 2: Hey have you ever seen this?
Speaker 1: Whoa?
Speaker 2: You didn't want the story in Espanol?
Speaker 4: Here it is an Espanol.
Speaker 2: Hey, here's this. Did you want to learn about the
Speaker 2: guy jumping out of the plane with the instructor? Too bad?
Speaker 2: Onto another story. Here's a paywall. My god, I'm going
Speaker 2: to the last last shot. Here student pilot lands playing
Speaker 2: alone after instructor jumps out mid flight. If I cannot
Speaker 2: get through this, If I cannot get through this, I
Speaker 2: am quitting today this and during this segment, I'm walking out.
Speaker 2: You're looking for a car in albuquerque' If this redirects
Speaker 2: or pop ups or something auto plays, I am learn
Speaker 2: this from a mechanic.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I am not doing it.
Speaker 5: I can't. I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't do it. I cannot do it anymore. It
Speaker 2: was a crazy story. You can only imagine what the
Speaker 2: person felt like who was inside this plane. And then
Speaker 2: the guy goes, you know what to do, and he
Speaker 2: jumped out. But undeniably, twenty two year old flight student
Speaker 2: had to landed right.
Speaker 4: She landed the plane on her own.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: The student, identified only by her first name Rosario, said
Speaker 4: that she told that the flight instructor said, you know
Speaker 4: what you have to do. Carry on. He took off
Speaker 4: his headphones, put away his cell phone, unfastened the seat belt,
Speaker 4: opened the plane door.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 2: Yeah, JOm Man. By the way, I didn't want to
Speaker 2: be amazed that it was a woman who landed the
Speaker 2: plane successfully. I know that there are many good female pilots.
Speaker 2: It's not like I get anxiety when I look up
Speaker 2: in the cockpit and see somebody who doesn't look like
Speaker 2: a traditional pilot.
Speaker 5: That doesn't happen to me. All right, I.
Speaker 2: Think women can fly, men can fly, Black people can fly,
Speaker 2: White people can fly. I didn't mean to say to
Speaker 2: Jews can probably fly. We'll sort that out later. We'll
Speaker 2: have to open that up to the community and ask
Speaker 2: them how things are going. But I did not want
Speaker 2: to seem amazed.
Speaker 4: But it is.
Speaker 2: I mean, she's just a young woman. And then do
Speaker 2: you give her the license right away? Do you immediately say.
Speaker 4: I think if she's trying to log enough hours to
Speaker 4: get to a certain spot, you know, or maybe the
Speaker 4: landing day it was coming up, and she's doing it earlier.
Speaker 4: I think you should be able to at least skip
Speaker 4: a couple lessons if you landed a plane by yourself
Speaker 4: because your instructor just opened the door and.
Speaker 2: What yeah, I mean just really trial by fire if
Speaker 2: there ever was anything like it.
Speaker 5: So let us know how you feel. Said.
Speaker 2: It's a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Craig emails
Speaker 2: the show. He says, hello everyone, Craig from Colorado. I
Speaker 2: like to discuss the recent situation involving the reporter from
Speaker 2: Miami and her off duty conduct. I often find my
Speaker 2: wishing that some of our more seasoned executives would recognize
Speaker 2: the evolving landscape, particularly concerning social media. I also wonder
Speaker 2: whether from a male perspective, we might not perceive an
Speaker 2: issue here. Perhaps for the sake of equity, the on
Speaker 2: air talent should consider wearing shorts exclusively, and Sean should
Speaker 2: do the show without a hat and solidarity of this lady,
Speaker 2: have a great day, Wiggles and Pops, says Craig. This
Speaker 2: was the lady and this was such a stupid story.
Speaker 2: We put this out on the show. If you missed it,
Speaker 2: go back to see it now on the website and
Speaker 2: other places where this is LinkedIn, you can see what
Speaker 2: we were talking about.
Speaker 5: But we talked about this woman.
Speaker 2: She was younger, successful news anchor, the evening news anchor
Speaker 2: for Channel ten in Miami, and her boss had been
Speaker 2: screaming at all the employees about being more professional and
Speaker 2: not acting like social media influencers. You got to take
Speaker 2: your job seriously, your serious journalists. And then she went
Speaker 2: to Fiji and posted a photo of her in this
Speaker 2: red bikini, and the guy melted down, and they're like,
Speaker 2: there's major drama apparently behind the scenes at this Miami
Speaker 2: television station, or at least at least allegedly there is.
Speaker 2: Maybe she's trying to make hay out of this. I
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on, but it's just absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 2: You're right to say, obviously there's changing norms. Obviously, a
Speaker 2: young woman in her thirties or forties, which is you know,
Speaker 2: kind of target audience for a local TV station, is
Speaker 2: going to look at the photographs that this woman posted
Speaker 2: and not lose any respect whatsoever for somebody, and they go, wait,
Speaker 2: hold on, you're a journalist. What is even happening here
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 5: I can't. I could never watch Channel ten again.
Speaker 2: I agree that they need to move with the times,
Speaker 2: and sometimes the suits just don't want to do that.
Speaker 2: The executives are pretty dumb on this stuff. Let us
Speaker 2: know what you think. Send an email tips tips at
Speaker 2: the Newsjunkie dot com. Also real quick, Craig right, there

Speaker 2: to those people. Big thanks Craig DJ Rage and also Tom.
Speaker 2: A couple more emails, Anonymous says too tips of the
Speaker 2: neews Junkie dot com. Anonymous publics employee here. Oh, we
Speaker 2: had somebody yesterday complaining about the raises that they got
Speaker 2: at Publics. They said it was too small, wasn't enough money? Hey, Sean,
Speaker 2: please give me anonymous. I wanted to give a different
Speaker 2: perspective on the email you receive from a public's employee.
Speaker 2: I work for publics corporate in it and in the
Speaker 2: time I've been here, I've received substantial raises every year
Speaker 2: on top of my already generous salary. I have an
Speaker 2: excellent work life balance. I receive an additional eight percent
Speaker 2: of my salary in public stock each year for retirement.
Speaker 2: We have extremely low turnover, and many of the people
Speaker 2: I work with have been here for twenty plus years
Speaker 2: and have millions in company stock. No company is perfect,
Speaker 2: but you can legitimately have a solid career at Public's true. True,
Speaker 2: and I agree. You just have to develop a skill
Speaker 2: set that is in demand and you'll be compensated. Compensated accordingly,
Speaker 2: says anonymous. Thank you for that. The other person who
Speaker 2: emailed yesterday emailed again, So let's work that in here,
Speaker 2: they said again, Please keep me anonymous. This was the
Speaker 2: original emailer. I'm not the greatest with words. You may
Speaker 2: have misunderstood my email. I email telling you about how
Speaker 2: Publics has a hard time keeping managers in full timers,
Speaker 2: and how Publics gives out raises once per year and
Speaker 2: this year for employees, they are topped out the raises
Speaker 2: just twenty cents, you said, who once agreed, but then explain,
Speaker 2: the more you pay someone, they're not going to work
Speaker 2: any harder, oh, I said. I used to agree that
Speaker 2: the more money an employee gets, the more output you'll
Speaker 2: get from them. Like, hey, man, if you double my salary,
Speaker 2: you're gonna get double out of me. I'm gonna put
Speaker 2: it in you triple my salary. I'm gonna do so
Speaker 2: much work it's gonna make your head spin. Then you saw,
Speaker 2: I said, from my experience with Selang, from my experience
Speaker 2: generally speaking, I said, I found that it doesn't really
Speaker 2: increase the work output of employees at all. And while
Speaker 2: it does give them a short bump in excitement about
Speaker 2: the raise and a short bump in appreciation for the job,
Speaker 2: that doesn't even last that long. So it's not really
Speaker 2: the greatest tool to keep the best talent around all
Speaker 2: the time. Starting salary is benefits are increasing salary over
Speaker 2: time definitely is, but like a big giant bump out
Speaker 2: of nowhere, does nothing to change anything for an employee
Speaker 2: as far as I've seen. He says, the whole point
Speaker 2: of my email is to say a public pays, and
Speaker 2: public's pays enough they will stay. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 2: I love them, But why should I stick with a
Speaker 2: company where my top out is less than twenty dollars
Speaker 2: when the competitor I'm going to is twenty six dollars? Hint,
Speaker 2: the competitor is the most expensive supermarket. You mentioned it
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. Sean, you are awesome. Thank
Speaker 2: you for everything. Thank you anonymous. Look, you're all welcome
Speaker 2: to have a say on the show. And so the
Speaker 2: emails and the dispatches are for and that's what we
Speaker 2: get into them. Will work in more during the show
Speaker 2: today quick break, when we come back, we'll get into
Speaker 2: maybe the most cringe video that you are going to
Speaker 2: hear all week long, maybe the most cringe video you're
Speaker 2: gonna hear all week long. And I'm gonna play that
Speaker 2: for you. It's coming up next in the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: This is probably the most cringe clip of the day,
Speaker 2: I think, And I just have to play this for
Speaker 2: you because the world of political clips is just a
Speaker 2: giver these days. I saw somebody who had they were
Speaker 2: walking along in a political ad. They're walking along the
Speaker 2: sidewalk and they had like an AI version of their
Speaker 2: opponent that they had, like talking trash and like doing
Speaker 2: embarrassing stuff. And oh my god. Now with AI and
Speaker 2: these other tools, you could do all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 2: But you don't even need AI.
Speaker 5: Some of these people don't need AI.
Speaker 2: This is Marcia Blackburn, who she's running for governor of Tennessee,
Speaker 2: I guess, and I don't know much about her, but
Speaker 2: the video that I saw for maybe you guys like this.
Speaker 2: Tell me if you like it, tell me if you
Speaker 2: hate it. That's what we'll see from you as you're
Speaker 2: watching over on YouTube and Twitch and listening on this station.
Speaker 2: Let me know if you love it or hate it.
Speaker 2: That's what we're looking for. Here is her ad, and
Speaker 2: you'll notice very quickly it is not friendly to China.
Speaker 5: She's not very happy with China.
Speaker 2: All it doesn't have isn't happen with China, and she
Speaker 2: made an ad about here it is.
Speaker 4: How hard am I gonna crack down on China?
Speaker 1: Well, here's a clue.
Speaker 12: Marcia Blackbury worked with President Trump to take on timmyis
Speaker 12: Oh my Musha will fight to protect Tennessee from China.
Speaker 2: Okay, stop, she's just so you guys know. She's crumbling
Speaker 2: up Fortune cookies as her example of China. So cringe.
Speaker 2: Which There's a lot of things I could say. One
Speaker 2: thing is I think they might have used some AI
Speaker 2: in this. I hope the AI is not of Chinese
Speaker 2: origin because that would that would show some hypocrisy here.
Speaker 4: It's been funny, I think.
Speaker 2: Also, I'm wary of China, right, the Chinese Communist government.
Speaker 2: I'm wary of China and their influence on the United
Speaker 2: States of America via social media platforms. Wharping young minds
Speaker 2: with their content. I don't know what's going on there,
Speaker 2: but why are you using fortune cookies as your stand
Speaker 2: in for child?
Speaker 1: Beat them, crumble them to death?
Speaker 4: I mean, aside from aren't fortune cookies kind of an
Speaker 4: American invention?
Speaker 5: I think the.
Speaker 2: Invention Brissett an American invention. I don't think if anybody's
Speaker 2: watching in China, I think they're like, what, oh, this
Speaker 2: is silly, Like this is not this is not a
Speaker 2: representation of US. I can't think of an equivalent, Like
Speaker 2: what would be the equivalent of a Chinese person mashing
Speaker 2: up during their political commercial Hamburgers, I guess, but not
Speaker 2: Hamburgers because we were well, we didn't really invent Hamburger's, right,
Speaker 2: Maybe that would match up. She's so anti China that
Speaker 2: Marsha Blackburn wants to show you that she's going to
Speaker 2: take it out on these fortune cookies?
Speaker 4: How hard am I gonna crack down on China?
Speaker 12: Well, Marcia Blackburn worked with President Trump to take on
Speaker 12: conomist China.
Speaker 2: Also super hilarious that she may have paid an actual
Speaker 2: Chinese restaurant to film this commercial inside of their establishment,
Speaker 2: because she's surrounded by soy sauce and you know Chinese
Speaker 2: food menus.
Speaker 4: I think maybe she found a restaurant that had a
Speaker 4: decent amount of red in it. Yeah, and then it
Speaker 4: looks like they may have just haphazardly hung up some
Speaker 4: some things with Asian lettering on it. I see some
Speaker 4: like maybe lantern look at things in the back.
Speaker 2: They got those cats ceiling, you know where like you
Speaker 2: get the cat's paw and then the cat's pauw keeps
Speaker 2: going over and that they got done.
Speaker 4: And then maybe just bought a lot of kiko men.
Speaker 4: Like if she really did like go out reach out
Speaker 4: to a Chinese restaurant to try to do this, I
Speaker 4: mean that's kind of like insulting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are they doing? What is she recording? And
Speaker 2: then you look over and he is, oh my god,
Speaker 2: she's just trashing China. They probably don't even like China.
Speaker 2: They're living in the United States of America. But you
Speaker 2: can say they have issues with China, Chinese policy, the
Speaker 2: Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party, Chinese intervention in Africa,
Speaker 2: like a million things, a billion things.
Speaker 4: You had a lot of those holsed up.
Speaker 2: But well, I mean, yeah, I've got more. I got
Speaker 2: problems with your I love the Chinese people though, right,
Speaker 2: Like I kind of dig Chinese Chinese culture and I don't.
Speaker 5: Mind Chinese food and that.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of dopey, like, go after the Chinese politicians. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there we go, Okay, you know the premiere of China.
Speaker 2: Go after the president, Go after the people who are
Speaker 2: in charge instead of crumbling up a very American invention
Speaker 2: of fortune.
Speaker 12: Sure, we'll fight to protect Tennessee Land from Chinese funt
Speaker 12: company close you can smashing them, hunt down every communist
Speaker 12: who tries to defy us.
Speaker 2: It doesn't take a fortune cookie to figure it out
Speaker 2: here in Tennessee, We're going to stop communist China and
Speaker 2: protect Tennessee Land.
Speaker 4: I don't know. Was that a gong? Was it gong
Speaker 4: and they went to the cat.
Speaker 2: Thing hold on Tennessee Land?
Speaker 5: Jesus man, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Man, Do you have to do political commercials like this
Speaker 2: because people are dopey? You You could definitely there's a
Speaker 2: lot of people out there who this argument might resonate
Speaker 2: with and they'd be like, yeah, I am worried about that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm worried about the fall off of the popularity of
Speaker 2: capitalism and democracy as a means to success in the
Speaker 2: United States of America, specifically amongst young people I am.
Speaker 2: I like to talk to those young people as a
Speaker 2: result of that. I like to tell those young people
Speaker 2: that a lot of the stuff they've heard is going
Speaker 2: to lead to far worse outcomes for them. But I
Speaker 2: don't think I'm going to get through to them by
Speaker 2: crushing a bunch of fortune cookies.
Speaker 5: Yeah, at less, I'm really missing the point here.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Well, my other thing is, and I don't live in Tennessee.
Speaker 4: I don't know much about what's important to Tennesseans. But
Speaker 4: is the Chinese gobbling up their land one of the
Speaker 4: things that's really like on the docket there? I don't know.
Speaker 5: See, like this is what all the politicians do.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: I want you to lead our town, our city, our state,
Speaker 2: our country. Those are the things I want to vote
Speaker 2: for you to lead. I want you to lead our stuff.
Speaker 2: But when I hear them talking, I often hear stuff
Speaker 2: like this like China, and then if it's a left
Speaker 2: wing person, it'll be all about Israel or Gaza's Like, hey,
Speaker 2: I care about America. I think most people do, honestly, at.
Speaker 4: Least in her case, the land part of it makes
Speaker 4: a little bit of sense, Like that's the thing you
Speaker 4: could focus on locally, because when you just get on
Speaker 4: TV and you go I'm going to protect Tennessee from China,
Speaker 4: you go, well to that is a US versus China thing,
Speaker 4: not a Tennessee versus China thing. Like I don't need
Speaker 4: my governor to make sure that the things are okay
Speaker 4: in Gaza. I need my governor to make sure things
Speaker 4: are okay in Florida. Yes, right, like yeah, or wherever
Speaker 4: you're from. For God's sake, let us know what you
Speaker 4: think about this. Maybe it works, maybe it's resonating with you.
Speaker 4: Maybe you think that was genius. Maybe you hated it.
Speaker 4: The world is phil of dimphering crackle of those fortune
Speaker 4: cookies just made me more and more surging with patriotism.
Speaker 2: Tell us what you feel after hearing that Over at
Speaker 2: thenewschunky dot com right now, some of the response says, Yo,
Speaker 2: you are not only racist, you are a moron and
Speaker 2: a coward. First, fortune cookies are not Chinese. Second, why
Speaker 2: no town halls? Maybe because you have no plausible arguments
Speaker 2: for your policies. You're an embarrassment to Tennessee. This person,
Speaker 2: says blue Wave rider. Though, so they sound a little
Speaker 2: partisan just from their name. That's great, But why are
Speaker 2: my groceries four hundred dollars? Says VJ, which you know,
Speaker 2: fair hippie patriot says, but you're okay with a surveillance
Speaker 2: state that monitors are biometrics while driving our own vehicles,
Speaker 2: You're an effing hypocrite. People are big mad about the
Speaker 2: car stuff. I'm telling you, we tuned into something there
Speaker 2: pretty early, Like people don't want their cars scanning their faces,
Speaker 2: and like Europe just said, they want twenty four to seven,
Speaker 2: when you're driving your car, there is a scanner on
Speaker 2: your face, and then eventually, obviously the police would get
Speaker 2: access to that and any kind of investigation that was
Speaker 2: going on. I would guess I wonder how people really
Speaker 2: about this, and I want to hear from more of you.
Speaker 2: But I also see another story. Might as well put
Speaker 2: this in While we're talking about China. The Senate Commerce
Speaker 2: Committee is going to take up legislation next week that
Speaker 2: would completely ban Chinese vehicles and they're connected components from
Speaker 2: the American market. Now we have to worry about the
Speaker 2: second part of that, because if we say and their
Speaker 2: connected components.
Speaker 5: That's a little loose.
Speaker 2: Do you mean anything that could gain access to the Internet,
Speaker 2: because that's one thing. Do you mean anything that's made
Speaker 2: in China, because I got to think most American cars
Speaker 2: must have something that's made in China inside.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean is it anything that's connected to
Speaker 4: the car or like you said, connected to the Internet.
Speaker 4: The latter sounds more plausible, as that's what had been
Speaker 4: going on in like the drone world, where they kind
Speaker 4: of said they weren't going to improve anymore. You know
Speaker 4: of these the Chinese drone manufacturers because they think it's
Speaker 4: all a spy in Yeah, this says from qz dot com.
Speaker 4: The legislation would prohibit the importation, manufacture, sale, and resale
Speaker 4: of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to China or
Speaker 4: other foreign adversaries. They would also empower the Commerce Department
Speaker 4: to identify and block high risk vehicle technologies. Some of
Speaker 4: this I like.
Speaker 2: Some of this, I don't. Let me tell you very quickly,
Speaker 2: very very very very quickly. When you block imports of
Speaker 2: other vehicles to your country, it can be a good
Speaker 2: thing in some ways. One I think the American companies
Speaker 2: that build cars should get some preference because I think
Speaker 2: that America should be the focus for American policies. All right,
Speaker 2: going back to the other stuff, I think that that
Speaker 2: could be a good thing. Also, just so you know,
Speaker 2: China bans the import of a whole lot of American vehicles,
Speaker 2: So hey, what's good for the goose, the gander and
Speaker 2: all of that stuff. But the other thing is, sometimes
Speaker 2: you could just tear iff the hell out of the
Speaker 2: auto imports, and then it makes them way more expensive
Speaker 2: than the American vehicles. But we still have the option
Speaker 2: of purchasing them if we wanted to. I never know
Speaker 2: what people really want. Would liken those circumstances. Would you
Speaker 2: rather have cheap Chinese cars and then we lose some
Speaker 2: competition with the American car dealers. Maybe you don't really
Speaker 2: like them. Would you rather have the cheap Chinese cars?
Speaker 2: Or would you rather say no, we have to protect
Speaker 2: American jobs. How do you feel about that? Hit us

Speaker 2: step up in just a bit on the show. I've
Speaker 2: seen so many things like this, I just want to
Speaker 2: address it quickly. There's a lot of stuff that is fake,
Speaker 2: a lot of fake fake, fake hate bait and like
Speaker 2: you know, rage bait type content that people fall for.
Speaker 2: They're getting a little more clever with it, and I
Speaker 2: want you to be aware of this too. I've told
Speaker 2: you this so many times. When you see a video
Speaker 2: that's going viral online, let's say it's on Facebook or
Speaker 2: you know, Instagram or one of the mains. When you
Speaker 2: see a video going viral, think why did this video
Speaker 2: start here?
Speaker 5: Why did it end where it ends? What is going on?
Speaker 2: What are the potential motivations of the people who are
Speaker 2: filming versus the people being filmed? What did I miss?
Speaker 2: What else could be happening here? What is the context
Speaker 2: and nuance? You're smart. I know you are, because you
Speaker 2: have a big mind, a big brain. You listen to
Speaker 2: this show, and you're probably a very curious individual if
Speaker 2: you listen to this show. So I'm trying to always
Speaker 2: get you in that mindset. So you see the clip
Speaker 2: and you go, well, hold on, what do we know?
Speaker 13: What?
Speaker 3: We don't know?
Speaker 5: What's going on? Who's the good guy, who's the bad guy.
Speaker 2: But some of these things just get people so fired up,
Speaker 2: and then they just start commenting and it makes me
Speaker 2: do the You're not happy, man, You're not happy meme?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: I think about that I think about this because I
Speaker 2: see people raging over clips like this. I'll play it
Speaker 2: in its entirety. You tell me what's actually going on?
Speaker 4: Here we go.
Speaker 7: I just got rejected from Target. Really, are you kidding me?
Speaker 7: Right now?
Speaker 14: I can't work at Target. All I want to do
Speaker 14: is stock shelves for fifteen dollars an hour. That's the
Speaker 14: bare minimum, and you won't hire me. I have ADHD,
Speaker 14: I have top tier organizational skills, and I'm timely for everything. Okay,
Speaker 14: all I need is a job to get me out
Speaker 14: of debt and Target won't hire me. What does that
Speaker 14: say about our job market right now? If I wasn't
Speaker 14: making content for brands on the side shift app right now,
Speaker 14: I would have no money. I would have nothing, and
Speaker 14: I have been able to make money from home. Why
Speaker 14: do I even want a job at Target at this point?
Speaker 14: Is this normal? Have you guys experienced this too? I'm
Speaker 14: tired of applying to jobs just to get denied. If
Speaker 14: you know of any place that's hiring, please let me know.
Speaker 2: Okay, there's so much in this. The person who came
Speaker 2: up with this is a genius. They're a genius. But
Speaker 2: I want to tell you what's actually going on. Let
Speaker 2: me turn it up a little Was it hard to hear?
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 5: Is a little quield, all right.
Speaker 2: I'll turn it up just a little bit, just in
Speaker 2: case if somebody couldn't hear it. Now, this is a
Speaker 2: woman who just because many of you can't see this,
Speaker 2: I'll screenshot it and put it up on see it
Speaker 2: now during the break. But many of you can't see this.
Speaker 2: This woman is covered in tattoos. She has tattoos all
Speaker 2: over her body. She's wearing a tank top and you
Speaker 2: can just see tattoos all over her. She has tattoos
Speaker 2: on her fingers, on her neck, she has different color
Speaker 2: nail polish on different fingers. She has a lip piercing,
Speaker 2: she has gauges in her ears, she has a pierced eyebrow.
Speaker 2: So the look that she's presenting leads people, like somebody
Speaker 2: in her YouTube to say, she looks like a problem, right,
Speaker 2: But that's all by design. You're smart enough.
Speaker 4: I know you know this.
Speaker 2: I know you know this.
Speaker 5: That is all by design.
Speaker 2: This is a carefully orchestrated video meant to get you angry.
Speaker 2: Why because it's undeniably, undoubtedly an advertisement that is alle
Speaker 2: hundred percent what we are listening to here, I'll play
Speaker 2: it again.
Speaker 5: We'll go over this.
Speaker 2: So first she talks about how she's not Target material.
Speaker 7: I just got rejected from Target. Really, are you kidding me?
Speaker 14: Right now?
Speaker 15: All right?
Speaker 2: When she does that, she's up in the camera lens.
Speaker 2: So the clue in many of these things is how
Speaker 2: good are they at debate?
Speaker 5: If you know how to make these videos.
Speaker 2: I've had many of my short videos that get millions
Speaker 2: and millions of views on TikTok, on Facebook, on Instagram.
Speaker 2: I've been going viral with videos since viral was viral, right,
Speaker 2: I've been in this world, so I know these things,
Speaker 2: all right. That's at least what I could put forward
Speaker 2: is my expertise on this. This woman starts directly in
Speaker 2: front of the cameras, so all you see is her
Speaker 2: facial piercings and her tattoos everywhere, and she's luring you
Speaker 2: in to her saying, I just got denied at Target.
Speaker 14: Work at Target, all I want to do is stockshelves
Speaker 14: for fifteen dollars an hour.
Speaker 12: All right.
Speaker 2: Then they purposely work in fifteen dollars an hour so
Speaker 2: that some people will be like, damn, they pay fifteen
Speaker 2: dollars an hour to start at publics and they'll be
Speaker 2: an argument about I'm sorry. At Target, they'll be an
Speaker 2: argument about the fifteen dollars an hour part of this
Speaker 2: that's all intentional too.
Speaker 14: Your minimum, and you won't hire me. I have ADHD,
Speaker 14: I have top tier organizational skills.
Speaker 2: Now we've completely shifted, and she's going to target another.
Speaker 5: Audience for this video, which is people.
Speaker 2: Who have ADHD who'll be like, oh my god, me too, sister, Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: go off, Queen, I definitely am. I'm the same way
Speaker 2: you would be such a valuable asset. And then you've
Speaker 2: got the people in chat right now that are saying
Speaker 2: I can fix her, etcetera, etcetera, all of these things.
Speaker 14: Timely for everything. All I need is a job to
Speaker 14: get me out of debt, and Target won't hire me.
Speaker 2: Okay, now we've worked in debt, all right. This is
Speaker 2: all by design. Is the perfectly written script that's happening
Speaker 2: here that she is reading. So now it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: you're in debt. You're trying to fight out what do
Speaker 2: you have debt for?
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 2: Student loan debt? Would you get some ridiculous arts degree
Speaker 2: that's never going to all of those things are men conversation.
Speaker 7: What does that say about our job market right now?
Speaker 2: Now she's shifted the goalposts and the target audience once again,
Speaker 2: What does that say about our job market right now?
Speaker 4: So people who.
Speaker 2: Don't like the current president of the United States of
Speaker 2: America can go, oh, yeah, I mean the job market sucks,
Speaker 2: or people who are just overall disillusioned with the job
Speaker 2: market will respond to be like, yep, tell me about it.
Speaker 2: Sis to go off, queen, absolutely please don't take those clips.
Speaker 2: And I got the first one that that's yet another
Speaker 2: thing that's going on. Here's your biggest clip.
Speaker 14: If I wasn't making content for brands on the side
Speaker 14: shift Operate now, I would have no money.
Speaker 7: I would have nothing.
Speaker 2: Okay, So she's still putting this in her plea, her
Speaker 2: poverty plea, which is another powerful argument that she can make,
Speaker 2: and she's put in the plug for the actual commercial there, like,
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, so tough out there. If I
Speaker 2: wasn't just making money hand over fist on the side
Speaker 2: on the on this blank app I'd be in really
Speaker 2: tough shape right now.
Speaker 7: If she keeps going and able to make money from home, all.
Speaker 2: Right, why is that valuable because she's pitching to you.
Speaker 2: She's like, You're like, well, hold on here, I can
Speaker 2: make money from home. I can utilize this app to
Speaker 2: do this.
Speaker 7: Do I even want a job at Target? At this point?
Speaker 7: Is this normal? Have you guys experienced this too, because.
Speaker 2: I'm talking so listening for questions jobs just.
Speaker 7: To get denied. If you guys know of any place
Speaker 7: that's hiring, please let me know.
Speaker 2: And then the here are what are the places that
Speaker 2: are hiring for people who are on her side or
Speaker 2: not on her side? To solicit all sorts of other comments.
Speaker 2: This is one thousand percent. Trust me, You can believe
Speaker 2: me if you want to. I know what I'm talking
Speaker 2: about here. This is one thousand percent what's going on
Speaker 2: with this video. But it doesn't matter because it's going
Speaker 2: to get the intended result. It has already. It's got
Speaker 2: millions of views on different platforms, it's got tons of
Speaker 2: comments on all these platforms, and many people will get
Speaker 2: to the core of it, which is, oh, hey, I
Speaker 2: too have had problems with this. Oh I too thinks
Speaker 2: this sucks. Oh there's an ad in here. I can
Speaker 2: make money from home and I could just like talk
Speaker 2: about some products and make cash. That sounds fantastic. That
Speaker 2: is how this stuff works. Flats Fisherman says, where are
Speaker 2: you going on the internet to even see this garbage?
Speaker 5: Sean?
Speaker 2: This is on every major platform today. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you're a boomer, how old are you, Flats Fishermen,
Speaker 2: you might, you might not be in the mix. But
Speaker 2: this is on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, all of them with
Speaker 2: millions of views and tons of comments. And Steve says,
Speaker 2: I don't want to give this nonsense any attention. It
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. It's already getting the attention because it's perfectly
Speaker 2: organized to target that. But it's fake. I guarantee you
Speaker 2: it's fake. It's an ad, and it is taking something.
Speaker 2: What's putting on display, in my opinion, is it's putting
Speaker 2: on display how easy it is to manipulate us how
Speaker 2: to take certain tax and put things out there to
Speaker 2: get a response. Usually it's for gambling websites, but this
Speaker 2: time it's for something else. And this is all too common.
Speaker 2: I wonder, you see all the time.
Speaker 4: I wonder if she did one important step in this
Speaker 4: whole thing to cover her ass, what's that apply for
Speaker 4: a job at Target?
Speaker 2: So somebody calls out to me back, look, okay.
Speaker 1: Here it is.
Speaker 4: If I were Target right now, I'd be like, hey,
Speaker 4: do we have any proof that this young lady applied
Speaker 4: for a job and was denied for a job for
Speaker 4: fifteen dollars an hour or whatever? Did she even put
Speaker 4: in an application? Because if she didn't, that would be
Speaker 4: a great case for Target.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be flat, says everything you're saying is obvious.
Speaker 5: It's not.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's quite obviously not obvious, which is why
Speaker 2: this stuff works. For instance, here's one of the reactions.
Speaker 2: This woman made a video complaining about the fact that
Speaker 2: Target didn't hire her. It's not the job market, it's
Speaker 2: not ADHD, it's not fifteen dollars an hour is too low.
Speaker 2: It's the face full of piercings, the elongated earlobes stretched
Speaker 2: out with giant gauges, and the tattoos. That's the presentation
Speaker 2: she chooses to bring to a job interview in a
Speaker 2: major retail chain. Target still has standards most employers do.
Speaker 2: They want people to look like they respect the job,
Speaker 2: in the brand. Bla bla blah blah blah blah. You know,
Speaker 2: all of this is roped in to the intentional you know,
Speaker 2: the intentional ploy to get people to respond. Target dodged
Speaker 2: a bullet. This person says, I wouldn't hire you to
Speaker 2: shovel s with the way you look. This person says,
Speaker 2: wasn't obvious to all these people by the way bad
Speaker 2: appearance or for corporate retail standards. Entitled attitude looks down
Speaker 2: on work being applied for mentions add in the positives column,
Speaker 2: not being laid is the bare minimum, not something to
Speaker 2: hang your hat on. I can go over and over
Speaker 2: and over to endless amounts of people who have responded
Speaker 2: this thing. They're all very very upset. Some of them
Speaker 2: are grifting on their own. But this is life on
Speaker 2: social media, all right. And the fact is you got
Speaker 2: to think about this whenever you see all of these
Speaker 2: videos out there, because it's just a reality of life.
Speaker 4: I think what really lost my belief in her video
Speaker 4: was like, I Target wouldn't hire me. I really need
Speaker 4: the money. I just need fifteen dollars an hour. Target
Speaker 4: wouldn't hire me. I make enough money. Why do I
Speaker 4: even need a job at Target. I don't want a
Speaker 4: job at Target.
Speaker 2: I'm like, whoa, whoa, definitely not getting a job at target.
Speaker 4: This meant like what the one eighty there after you
Speaker 4: got your plugin kind of went oh wait, this is
Speaker 4: not what it seems to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of people reacting to this. Scott says,
Speaker 2: she succeeded. She got you to talk about it. I mean,
Speaker 2: come on, you, guys, Scott, you're smarter than this. You
Speaker 2: are legitimately, I know you're smarter than this. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you're just trying to get a little attention
Speaker 2: during the segment or something. But one thing is very obvious.
Speaker 2: This is not something that comes natural to people online.
Speaker 2: They take everything is real, whether they're old or young,
Speaker 2: they fall for these things. The second thing is when
Speaker 2: you see things like this, these particular people are indeed
Speaker 2: getting paid for them. And my intention is to go
Speaker 2: in the opposite side of all of this traction and
Speaker 2: tell people, hey, before you respond, realize every once in
Speaker 2: a while that you might be helping them out.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: You might be like, ah, this is stupid bitch, and
Speaker 2: then you send a comment. You might be helping her
Speaker 2: out because every one of those comments, you think, if
Speaker 2: it's a bad comment, the algorithm is like, well, this
Speaker 2: is a negative comment, So let's don't vote this video
Speaker 2: and let's bring it into obscurity. No comments, whether they're
Speaker 2: good comments, bad comments, mean comments, nice comments, they all
Speaker 2: show the algorithm that there's some sort of engagement going on.
Speaker 2: So to me, it's a valuable thing to speak about
Speaker 2: that and tell people, especially young people, especially old people,
Speaker 2: about how we need need to be considering these things.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 2: Give me your thoughts tips at the news junkie dot com.
Speaker 2: It is hot out there, everybody, beware they're they're trouting.
Speaker 2: I know it's hot when they're bringing out the feels
Speaker 2: like temps. That's what they do this time of year
Speaker 2: when they make the map that makes it look like
Speaker 2: the end of the world has arrived. See from Channel
Speaker 2: two in Orlando. It says one hundred and eight degrees
Speaker 2: one hundred and nine hundred and eleven in Wildwood, one
Speaker 2: hundred and seven in Melbourne, and the state is just
Speaker 2: you're dying out there, you're melting. If this is happening,
Speaker 2: everybody is dead. Everybody's dead, says this afternoon ninety seven.
Speaker 2: I've got it at ninety one right now. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: hot or where you are, but be careful out there.
Speaker 2: You will survive despite what they want to tell you,
Speaker 2: unless you're really, really old and you're in France or something,
Speaker 2: you'll be just fine. But I wanted to get that
Speaker 2: out there because it's one of those days, folks. You're
Speaker 2: gonna see it all over. We're going to take a
Speaker 2: very quick break right here. When we come back, we're
Speaker 2: gonna hear from you. We're gonna get to your dispatches,
Speaker 2: your responses, all of that good stuff in I got
Speaker 2: a story that I want to talk about next out
Speaker 2: of Texas, and I didn't even know that this was
Speaker 2: a potential threat to all of us, but it is.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna discuss this, and I'm gonna play this
Speaker 2: young man's story for you. It's gonna change the way
Speaker 2: you think about things. And it's coming up next in
Speaker 2: the news Junkie. Now, the question I have to start
Speaker 2: this discussion off is when you were young, did your
Speaker 2: parents ever warn you about stuff during lightning storms, like
Speaker 2: don't talk on the phone. Oh my god, are you
Speaker 2: are you calling your friend? There's a storm going on.
Speaker 2: Get off the phone, Sean. My parents would say this,
Speaker 2: or they might they go, you're thinking about taking a
Speaker 2: bath right now? There is a lightning storm sean, you're
Speaker 2: going to die. You're gonna get struck by lightning. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it worked that way in your house ceiling,
Speaker 2: but my parents were always warning me about the ways
Speaker 2: I was gonna get struck by lightning. Inside of the house.
Speaker 2: Bath time was a no go during a lightning storm.
Speaker 2: Was that legit? I'm gonna get into the story that
Speaker 2: makes this all make sense in a second, but was
Speaker 2: that like a legitimate concern.
Speaker 4: I feel like we've brought this up before, and there
Speaker 4: has been I don't know, there has been like mixed
Speaker 4: reviews on whether or not it's happened. I feel like
Speaker 4: getting struck by lightning in that manner is very much
Speaker 4: a freak freak freak accident.
Speaker 2: My parents would tell me you could be in front
Speaker 2: of the TV Sea Lion, and if you were too
Speaker 2: close to the TV, the lightning could come through the
Speaker 2: television screen and zap me in front of the TV.
Speaker 4: I think was the most nonsensical one.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: I think so talking on the phone makes a little
Speaker 4: sense because the phone did carry power. That was how
Speaker 4: there was an amount of power that ran through the
Speaker 4: classic telephone line.
Speaker 2: UH.
Speaker 4: And the power if the power raised up to a
Speaker 4: certain voltage. That's what made it ring, and then when
Speaker 4: you picked it up, the power drops and that's how
Speaker 4: the power the phone company knew to start billing you
Speaker 4: if you were doing long distance all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: But obviously now talking on a cell phone is not
Speaker 4: going to attract the lightning.
Speaker 2: But people still do that. Somebody said in chat when
Speaker 2: I was talking about this getting everybody ready during the break,
Speaker 2: somebody said, yeah, I have a friend who still won't
Speaker 2: talk to me on the phone, like even on a
Speaker 2: cell phone. I think was what they were talking about.
Speaker 2: Because it's storming outside, that lightning that's a little paranoid.
Speaker 2: Some of the arguments I've heard for the the like, if.
Speaker 4: You're in the shower, jeez, oh you didn't this was
Speaker 4: really coming to you eye today.
Speaker 2: I did not want to do that. This is everybody's
Speaker 2: auto playing me. I my apologies, go ahead.
Speaker 4: One of the arguments I heard for the shower thing
Speaker 4: is that when you're showering, the stream of water hitting
Speaker 4: you is not necessarily a direct like unbroken stream, so
Speaker 4: it would be hard.
Speaker 2: Okay, so the electricity can't ride on it because it's broken.
Speaker 4: Uh kind of. But I've also heard that argument for
Speaker 4: being on on on live wires, and I still don't
Speaker 4: want to chance it.
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna have to try that during the show tomorrow.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get a live wire and Sea Lane is
Speaker 2: going to urinate on it to see if this is true.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, we'll tackle this story that.
Speaker 4: All something maybe just like like a nine volt, like
Speaker 4: licking a battery to see if it's got juice in it.
Speaker 4: Can we do that much? And then maybe I'll be
Speaker 4: on that. Here's what happens, Sea Lane, and they so
Speaker 4: know all fun shown. I'm down, But let's get to
Speaker 4: this first, because this is what actually happened to this
Speaker 4: young kid in Texas.
Speaker 2: And maybe my parents were right about the danger here.
Speaker 9: It is.
Speaker 16: It's not unusual this time of year, we're talking about
Speaker 16: thunder and lightning, but what happened to one boy near
Speaker 16: Houston certainly was unusual.
Speaker 4: As he described it, the odds are like one in
Speaker 4: a million.
Speaker 1: ABC, Sanabatah has won that.
Speaker 16: This morning, a teenager outside Houston, Texas sharing his story
Speaker 16: after being electrocuted by lightning while inside his home.
Speaker 2: All right, so he is inside his house, lightning storms
Speaker 2: going on. It's the thing that we've heard so many
Speaker 2: times from our parents, you're gonna get struck inside. But
Speaker 2: it really happened to him, and here's how it happened.
Speaker 16: Thirteen year old Lads Griddan was playing video games on
Speaker 16: his computer.
Speaker 17: Super Gigantic Boom, and I got super scared.
Speaker 1: I jumped up.
Speaker 17: I also had a shock on my stomach, so I
Speaker 17: just started screaming.
Speaker 16: Officials say, lightning his home and traveled through the wiring.
Speaker 18: Oh, it blew a hole in his wall. So the
Speaker 18: lightning hit this kid's house, starts going through the wiring,
Speaker 18: blows a hole in his wall. He was playing video games,
Speaker 18: like in the middle of the video game, he gets hit. Parents,
Speaker 18: take this video, show it to your kids tonight, and
Speaker 18: then every time you want them off their video game thing,
Speaker 18: go hey, I think there's a lightning storm coming. I
Speaker 18: need you to get off of Minecraft. We need to
Speaker 18: stop playing this, we need to get away from it. Legitimately,
Speaker 18: this could be a good tool for you because it
Speaker 18: really happened to this so caam.
Speaker 16: We believes the lightning then flowed through a metal part
Speaker 16: of his desk, which was touching his skin. It's like
Speaker 16: one in a million or something experts say during a
Speaker 16: lightning storm, stay away from anything metal.
Speaker 12: The safest thing might be to sit in the middle
Speaker 12: of a room and read a book.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, go hold on, that's tap the brakes, grandpa.
Speaker 1: Good laugh.
Speaker 2: The safest thing might be to sit in the center
Speaker 2: of the room and read a book. The kids aren't
Speaker 2: gonna buy this. They're they're not going to be into that.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's what you gotta do. You gotta
Speaker 2: unplug all your stuff. You got to sit silently in
Speaker 2: the center of the room. Because you've been dealing with it.
Speaker 2: You've seen all these afternoon thunderstorms all across the United States.
Speaker 4: Afternoon my ass, last night's was a long one. That
Speaker 4: was bad too, right, that was very percussive last night.
Speaker 4: What were you doing while this storm was happening watching Well,
Speaker 4: let's there was a long time for the storm. Most
Speaker 4: of it was watching TV because I think wedbelievable. Mostly
Speaker 4: put Jackson to bed. Dangerous. You could have gotten zapped
Speaker 4: by the lightning. You need to turn off the television,
Speaker 4: get in this center of the room, and read a book.
Speaker 4: That's how you have to handle this. For God's sake, Actually,
Speaker 4: this is going to sound sadder. I probably would have
Speaker 4: been more zapped by the couch, the television. I was
Speaker 4: traveling through all the all of the means. But the
Speaker 4: thing that we just saw in that person's house, could
Speaker 4: that be a result of bad wiring, because maybe typically
Speaker 4: I think, I don't think all houses are supposed to
Speaker 4: have lightning rods or something, but a lightning rod I
Speaker 4: think would have helped their situation there. It would have
Speaker 4: been blowing through the drywall. Is that how that works us?
Speaker 2: If you have a lightning rod on top of your house,
Speaker 2: it will strike that and then it will not hit
Speaker 2: the other stuff.
Speaker 4: The lightning rod should be grounded. It should go straight
Speaker 4: to the ground because lightning, like all electricity, follows the
Speaker 4: path of least resistance. So you have something that attracts
Speaker 4: electricity attracts, you know, the lightning, and then is just
Speaker 4: wired straight down to the earth, and that's that's what
Speaker 4: should keep all of the rest of your stuff from
Speaker 4: getting fried.
Speaker 5: We're getting a lot of dispatches on this.
Speaker 4: I'm wrong.
Speaker 5: I'm going to play a couple of them.
Speaker 2: If you're an expert on this, you know more about it,
Speaker 2: please let us know with more dispatches.
Speaker 5: Back to the story from ktr.
Speaker 3: K The electrical things are dangerous.
Speaker 16: In rural Illinois, a reminder of the power of lightning.
Speaker 4: She didn't have a way of walking in the room.
Speaker 3: She was just god oppress.
Speaker 16: Aery Kinsley Sheidah was struck and killed while getting off
Speaker 16: a swing in her family's backyard, the storm still appearing
Speaker 16: far off in the distance. Her grandfather says, there was
Speaker 16: no time to react.
Speaker 4: He said, you started to rumble, and he said, hey,
Speaker 4: you do get off now, and turned around and just
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 16: And in Florida, a Seminole County deputy is recovering after
Speaker 16: lightning indirectly struck him while he was touching a gate.
Speaker 16: He was taken to a hospital but was conscious and alerts.
Speaker 2: All right, So that guy's touching a gate, it gets struck,
Speaker 2: you know, hit some the young girl she's outside. These
Speaker 2: ones make more sense to me. But inside your house,
Speaker 2: playing your video games and getting blasted by lightning is
Speaker 2: not something that I would have expected. But a lot
Speaker 2: of you are suggesting that this is something you've experienced
Speaker 2: at some point. So let's go to a couple of
Speaker 2: those dispatches. Record yours at thenewsjunkie dot com. Or in
Speaker 2: the news junkie app. Right now, here's the Mighty Flounder.
Speaker 15: I don't know if this I'm still on the app.
Speaker 15: I'm still on the old Agent app.
Speaker 2: Update.
Speaker 15: Man, you were talking about lighting about fifteen years ago.
Speaker 15: I was playing Xbox in a lightning store because I'm
Speaker 15: stupid with a wired controller, not wireless, and at the
Speaker 15: same time, the power went out at my house. I
Speaker 15: received a painful electric shock made me throw the controller.
Speaker 10: Now, whoa, I'm a twenty year electrician.
Speaker 15: I was only about a five year electrician at that time,
Speaker 15: but I know what an electric shock felt like, and
Speaker 15: that was it. I don't think I got hit with
Speaker 15: the lightning bolt. I think my house got struck by
Speaker 15: lightning and I just got some of the residual effects
Speaker 15: of it.
Speaker 5: But yeah, it hurt.
Speaker 2: You are not alone. A lot of people that are
Speaker 2: talking about this. Here is Dingo, what up news junkie Dingo.
Speaker 6: Here, I just want to chime in real quick about
Speaker 6: the thunderstorm in my house was whatever you do, don't
Speaker 6: talk on the landline during a thunderstorm because the lightning
Speaker 6: will come through that phone and shock you in the ear.
Speaker 6: I never believed it, but then I was watching I
Speaker 6: think it was season one A Stranger Things, and it
Speaker 6: totally happened. Come on, and my parents were right all
Speaker 6: this time.
Speaker 4: Go figure.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we have to be wary of
Speaker 2: the upside down, but I think we should be wary
Speaker 2: of what could happen here one more, here's aj ajsuit.
Speaker 1: Hey junkies.
Speaker 19: Right, So, when I was a little kid, I lived
Speaker 19: in the Midwest. I lived up in the middle of
Speaker 19: central Illinois, and we had a huge storm, a big
Speaker 19: lightning storm and everything like that. And my mom was
Speaker 19: never a big you know, like, oh, beware of the lightning.
Speaker 19: You know, we never really took precautions or anything like that.
Speaker 19: Inside the house. It wasn't a big deal. We didn't
Speaker 19: unplug things or anything like that. But our house did
Speaker 19: get struck by lightning. And my sister and I were
Speaker 19: sitting in the living room watching TV and the lightning
Speaker 19: came and blew out the front of the TV.
Speaker 1: So that actually did happen.
Speaker 2: Can happen.
Speaker 19: And my mom was downstairs taking a shower and she
Speaker 19: got zapped in the shower, so it can happen.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 19: How often or you know, if that was just an anomaly,
Speaker 19: but I do remember that happening when I.
Speaker 2: Was a child. Well, judging by the feedback we're getting,
Speaker 2: it's not that incredibly rare throughout somebody's lifetime to experience
Speaker 2: at least a close call. It could be that this

Speaker 4: That's right, it's the top five stories in the nonsense news,
Speaker 4: brought to you by that mortgage guy Don and of
Speaker 4: course the big breaking news. This morning we all woke
Speaker 4: up to the news that Bonnie Tyler was dead at
Speaker 4: the age of seventy five. Lots of tributes pouring into her,
Speaker 4: even at her home in Wales. Flowers and whiskey have
Speaker 4: been left at Bonnie Bonnie Tyler's Whales home following the
Speaker 4: news of the singer's death. Several bunches of flowers and
Speaker 4: a bottle of Jack Daniels and a card are on
Speaker 4: the wall outside her house in Mumbles, Swansea. Tyler was
Speaker 4: apparently known to drink a shot of whiskey with Red
Speaker 4: Bull to steady her nerves before going on stage, which
Speaker 4: is weird to think about because I think she predates
Speaker 4: Red Bull by like a bunch am I would I
Speaker 4: be incorrect in saying.
Speaker 2: That I would have to say, yeah, I think that's
Speaker 2: definitely the case.
Speaker 5: But she even used to joke it gives me wings.
Speaker 4: Celebrities have been pouring their their hearts out for Bonnie Tyler.
Speaker 4: Catherine z Ada Jones said she was a one of
Speaker 4: a kind artist, Brian Adams made some comments and of
Speaker 4: course somebody who I would think owes a lot to
Speaker 4: Bonnie Tyler. Dan Finnerty, on his Instagram page said rip legend.
Speaker 4: You would know Dan Finnerty from.
Speaker 12: Yeah the.
Speaker 2: Damn Band, lead singer of the Dan Band.
Speaker 4: On his instagram this morning, Tyler was the first Welsh
Speaker 4: act to crack the US number one singles. It wasn't
Speaker 4: Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Mary Hopkins. The honor felt to
Speaker 4: Bonnie Tyler in nineteen eighty three when Total Eclipse with
Speaker 4: the Heart knocked Billy Joels tell her about it from
Speaker 4: the top spot, spent four weeks there and then was
Speaker 4: knocked out by Islands in the Stream, which so this
Speaker 4: was a.
Speaker 5: Big time for rock music back then.
Speaker 4: True. Speaking of old school, Luke Wilson, congrats to him
Speaker 4: and his twenty four year old girlfriend. Luke Wilson fifty
Speaker 4: four and his girlfriend have welcomed a baby girl.
Speaker 2: Wow, they were seen years she is she is will be.
Speaker 4: Closer to her daughter's age than Luke Wilson's age. Yeah,
Speaker 4: for this whole time. They were seen holding their newborn
Speaker 4: in the character an event for the actors forthcoming Netflix
Speaker 4: series The Hawk. I think it was the first time
Speaker 4: they had brought the baby out in public. He had
Speaker 4: said back in two thousand and seven he was, you know,
Speaker 4: wanting to have kids. He said at the time, I
Speaker 4: don't have a girlfriend, but I wouldn't mind one. I
Speaker 4: definitely want kids at some point, and now he has them.
Speaker 4: The Idiocracy star and his girlfriend have largely kept their
Speaker 4: romance under the radar, but have been dating since at
Speaker 4: least twenty twenty three. It was a big day for
Speaker 4: a lot of people in the TV and entertainment world
Speaker 4: yesterday when the Emmys were announced. But I think, I mean,
Speaker 4: it had to have been a real nice, big smile,
Speaker 4: s eating grin even for one. Stephen Colbert. The Late
Speaker 4: Show bows out with nine Emmy nominations, its biggest haul
Speaker 4: ever in the nominations category. They said, the party's over, said, huh,
Speaker 4: They're trying to send a message there. They're like, look,
Speaker 4: you know, we support him. We think he got like
Speaker 4: shut down. That's what it seems to me. Well, they
Speaker 4: says they got one last embrace from the Television Academy.
Speaker 4: In its final season, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Speaker 4: drew nine Emmy nominations, the biggest award showing of the
Speaker 4: eleven year ten year behind the desk somebody who's not
Speaker 4: behind the desk anymore, but was recently spotted on a
Speaker 4: rare outing. Guy keeps to himself a lot, and it
Speaker 4: makes sense. Matt Lauer was spotted on a rare outing
Speaker 4: with girlfriend Schamin Abbas, five months after one of his
Speaker 4: accusers released her memoir including allegations against him. The couple
Speaker 4: attended the annual Fourth of July party of Patriots owner
Speaker 4: Robert Kraft.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, they still asking him about that massage.
Speaker 4: Plays thing or no. Just think Robert Kraft and Matt
Speaker 4: Lauer probably don't talk about stuff like that. They talk
Speaker 4: about fireworks and beers and stuff. We just kind of
Speaker 4: leave some of that other stuff swept under the rug.
Speaker 2: If they get a little drunk, you think, then I
Speaker 2: look at you like, hey, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's just one of those things that behind closed
Speaker 4: doors Robert Craft likes a joke about like, yeah, you
Speaker 4: know the Rebin Tug video. It's the thing happened. And
Speaker 4: every once in a while we get great clips from
Speaker 4: somebody who storms out of an interview, who gets really
Speaker 4: embarrassed or just really pissed off and leaves we're out
Speaker 4: of here.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 4: And I didn't know that you could you could necessarily
Speaker 4: do this in text for him, because you really need
Speaker 4: the personal kind of contact for it to be as cringe.
Speaker 4: And then at the end we're we're left asking ourselves,
Speaker 4: why would you do this interview? Why would you put
Speaker 4: yourself through this knowing you're just going to get destroyed?
Speaker 4: And that's what came for German director Uve Bowl after
Speaker 4: he did and asked me anything on Reddit. It says
Speaker 4: the AMA descended into chaos after fans I don't know
Speaker 4: that I'd call him fans asked a bunch of message,
Speaker 4: a bunch of questions about all of his trash movies.
Speaker 4: It says, why on God's Green Earth, Uve Bowl would
Speaker 4: agree to participate in a Reddit AMA is beyond me.
Speaker 4: But that's exactly what happened as the German filmmaker dubbed
Speaker 4: one of the worst directors in the world open himself
Speaker 4: up to questions from a hostile crowd, and the result
Speaker 4: was entirely predictable. He was trying to promote his latest movie,
Speaker 4: Citizen Vigilante, but he was showered with insults from the
Speaker 4: Reddit crowd. The uh it ended after only an hour,
Speaker 4: was bull storming out, and he said his final message was, guys,
Speaker 4: why a lot of you are stuck in the past.
Speaker 4: You love to hate and trash me. Watch Rampage, Stoic,
Speaker 4: Assault on Wall Street, first Shift, Heart of America, Postal
Speaker 4: Tunnel rats, run to for those are all his movies,
Speaker 4: and open your eyes forget my name and just watch
Speaker 4: the movies. Look at the ratings. You'll see what real
Speaker 4: audience believes. You're so in love with bashing me. If
Speaker 4: you got yourself, I wish you all a great evening,
Speaker 4: and now go watch soccer. And instead of wasting my
Speaker 4: time here and ouve Bowl not a long time on
Speaker 4: that Reddit Ama, because you just they were just coming
Speaker 4: after him for his crap movies.
Speaker 2: He made me say his name. I thought it was
Speaker 2: you Bowl. I think I've said I've probably screwed that
Speaker 2: up forever. If that's how you actually watched a couple
Speaker 2: of videos and like the German pronunciation. Somebody said, O
Speaker 2: bowl looks like uie at the box office. Kind of
Speaker 2: an exciting weekend for box office This weekend, of course,
Speaker 2: A twenty four is releasing The Invite with Seth Rogan,
Speaker 2: Olivia Wild, Penelope Cruiz Ed Norton Accommody drama romance Uh
Speaker 2: for the parents.

Speaker 2: is wearing in this?
Speaker 4: I have seen footage of the Rock in it, and
Speaker 4: it's pretty hilarious. It's it's pretty bad. It is evil
Speaker 4: dead burn for the horror fans. And then I don't know,
Speaker 4: I didn't get a chance to see what this was about,
Speaker 4: but Sony Pictures has Gail Daughtry and the celebrity sex
Speaker 4: pass that's got Zoey Deutsch is it? I think it's Deutsch?
Speaker 4: I know John Ham I saw a movie with her recently,

Speaker 4: There he is.
Speaker 5: Okay, quick break.
Speaker 2: We are going to be back in just a moment
Speaker 2: with something that is making people sick all across the
Speaker 2: United States of America. This is weird, but it's caused
Speaker 2: them to change the menu at Taco Bell. Right now,
Speaker 2: I'll explain what's happening so you are safe and sound
Speaker 2: from this. That's coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: Don't yawn, I don't yawn, but kids in reading is
Speaker 2: going to be the next topic, and just say, trust me,
Speaker 2: this is interesting, more interesting than you are thinking.
Speaker 4: What they do when the lightning storms around you gotta
Speaker 4: sit in the middle of the room.
Speaker 1: Cut her.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's that's technically it's still called reading. Most people
Speaker 2: do not do it. According to what we're going to
Speaker 2: get into here this.
Speaker 4: Thought that your house is like some sort of pincushion
Speaker 4: during a lightning storm and just sit in the middle
Speaker 4: of it because any any direction it could be coming.
Speaker 2: They want us to be scared of everything, it would seem,
Speaker 2: lightning storms, life, and even parasites. I'll give you a
Speaker 2: story about that as well. That's caused Taco Bell to
Speaker 2: change their menu. What's happened in details on the way,
Speaker 2: Matthew emails to show Tanka News junkie dot com site
Speaker 2: Gordida Crunch anymore. Maybe maybe not, we'll find out, Matthew
Speaker 2: says Sean. I completely agree with you, which should be
Speaker 2: how my email start. No wonder Sean just brushed aside
Speaker 2: my joke so fast to get to this email. Now,
Speaker 2: this email is so important. Do you want to go
Speaker 2: deeper on the joke? We can, We can explore, Sean.
Speaker 2: I completely agree. Backrooms was not good at all. I
Speaker 2: watched it after the success of Obsession, which I thought
Speaker 2: was great. But I left Back Rooms before the end
Speaker 2: of the movie. I was like, what the heck am
Speaker 2: I watching?
Speaker 5: Lol?
Speaker 2: Keep up the work, Fellas, says Matthew. Matthew hot take
Speaker 2: on some things here. I think that the movie Obsession
Speaker 2: I've talked about.
Speaker 5: This is a good movie. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: I would have probably given it a an eight out
Speaker 2: of ten or so, Like I thought, it was a
Speaker 2: good movie and it was a fun ride. Although I
Speaker 2: do think that Obsession is just a pretty run of
Speaker 2: the mill good movie. I don't think Obsession is some
Speaker 2: game changer. It's a good movie. It's a resh watchable movie.
Speaker 2: It's a game changer for for what it means to
Speaker 2: the industry, one hundred percent right about that. Yes, I
Speaker 2: agree on that, but I'm talking about just as just
Speaker 2: talking about the movie itself. It is good acting, young actors,
Speaker 2: a good premise, very well done, especially the lead actress.
Speaker 2: Fantastic in this movie, Like, very very well done.
Speaker 5: Like I said, eight out of ten.
Speaker 2: However, I think the reason why this stands out so
Speaker 2: much is because so many other movies have sucked in
Speaker 2: the last decade. Like, it's not even that jarringly shockingly good.
Speaker 2: It's just good. It's just a good movie with good
Speaker 2: acting and young fresh talent out there with a good script.
Speaker 2: But that shouldn't be so rare. Hollywood should take notes here,
Speaker 2: and they probably are because so much money has come
Speaker 2: in from this movie that costs less than a million
Speaker 2: dollars to make. The budget I think was seven hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars. And this guy was a YouTuber
Speaker 2: who Courtney had caught on to. She made me watch
Speaker 2: this YouTube movie he made, which was kind of garbage,
Speaker 2: but it was the stepping stone that got him this gig.
Speaker 2: And the real hot take on this is Obsession is good.
Speaker 2: It's a good movie again, eight out of ten. But
Speaker 2: it's not like a shocking, unbelievable. You ain't never seen
Speaker 2: a movie this good kind of movie. It's just good.
Speaker 2: It's just good, and the competition has been so damn bad.
Speaker 4: I do think that there was one point where, when
Speaker 4: we were done with it, my wife said, I feel
Speaker 4: like not a lot happened, but it was really good.
Speaker 4: Like there wasn't a lot to it. Now, it's pretty
Speaker 4: simple to fuck ride, but very good.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 2: Somebody says he's talking about backroom Sean.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 2: He said he watched it after the success of Obsession,
Speaker 2: which is why I was talking about that backrooms. He's
Speaker 2: agreeing with my take, which I think is just kind
Speaker 2: of where the average person is going.
Speaker 5: To end up.
Speaker 2: Backrooms is not bad. I would probably say like six
Speaker 2: out of ten or something is what I would give it.
Speaker 2: But Backrooms is a movie that sucks you in with
Speaker 2: a very simple premise of this guy works at a
Speaker 2: furniture company, like old school furniture company. Every market has
Speaker 2: one of these where they go everything must go and
Speaker 2: be a crazy, inflatable, failing arm man and they sell
Speaker 2: the big chairs and the couches and welcome to my player,
Speaker 2: we're selling chairs. That's what the premise is. The guy
Speaker 2: owns a furniture shop and he discovers this area where
Speaker 2: he kind of puts his arm through a wall and
Speaker 2: he keeps going back further, back, further, back, further, back further,
Speaker 2: and he discovers this endless, seemingly endless array of back
Speaker 2: rooms at the at the work simple premise, and you
Speaker 2: have an enjoyable time going on this journey with this guy.
Speaker 2: And there's other people that are brought into it. However,
Speaker 2: I like movies that make decisions. This is me. I
Speaker 2: like movies that make decisions. I want the creatives who
Speaker 2: are taking part in this to refine their scripts, to
Speaker 2: refine their ideas, to refine their writing. Writing is important.
Speaker 2: You need to be able to speak and say things
Speaker 2: that people can understand, be coherent. That's a big, big, big,
Speaker 2: big thing, right. But I don't like when you get
Speaker 2: to the end of it and they put question marks
Speaker 2: everywhere and you go, well, it's up to your interpretation. No,
Speaker 2: make a decision, make a move, or if you're making moves,
Speaker 2: just to kind of fool everybody, be honest about that.
Speaker 2: I love the movie Weapons. I think that was a
Speaker 2: pretty good movie. I put it up there with Obsession
Speaker 2: at about an eight out of ten. I enjoyed it
Speaker 2: fresh idea at the time, well shot, good, good looking movie.
Speaker 2: But there was a scene in the movie Weapons where
Speaker 2: I don't want to go through the whole premise of
Speaker 2: the movie, but they go to a house that's sort
Speaker 2: of at the center of all of this stuff, and
Speaker 2: there is an assault rifle rotating on top of this house,
Speaker 2: sort of like you're in a video game and you
Speaker 2: can grab it and that will be part of your inventory.
Speaker 5: And afterwards people.
Speaker 2: Said, oh, this is a reference about school shooting, and
Speaker 2: then people said, no, it's a reference about violence in America. No,
Speaker 2: it's a reference about mental health. It's a reference about
Speaker 2: people who are unable to afford their homes, and everybody
Speaker 2: had all of these different takeaways. And I thought it
Speaker 2: was so freaking refreshing that the creator of weapons was asked,
Speaker 2: what does the spinning gun mean above the house and
Speaker 2: he goes, nothing, We just threw it out there, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he goes. We didn't have any point. We didn't like,
Speaker 2: we just wanted to throw something out there and have
Speaker 2: people speculate. But safe to say, like, you don't want
Speaker 2: to have to decide where the movie went.
Speaker 4: You would like to be told I do want that.
Speaker 4: That was my That was my big gripe with that
Speaker 4: war movie. That there was like a couple people that
Speaker 4: were like, ceiling your you're out of bounds on this one.
Speaker 4: You're you're you're out of your mind.
Speaker 5: You it was a really good movie, and I was like,
Speaker 5: it was a fine movie.
Speaker 9: It was.
Speaker 4: It was a decent movie until the journey just stopped short. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and uh, and I ended up hating it that that
Speaker 4: one was it.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: It wasn't War of the World because that was ice
Speaker 4: Cube in front of the computer that whole time. That
Speaker 4: was an Amazon commercial, is what it was. That was
Speaker 4: a bad one. No, it was a different one. It
Speaker 4: was a Netflix movie, and uh, it was Dynamite in
Speaker 4: the in the title. I can't remember. It was a
Speaker 4: recent Netflix, but within the last year they had this
Speaker 4: movie that was, you know, about countries nuking each other
Speaker 4: and the decisions they were going to have to make,
Speaker 4: and it was pretty popular. It was like number one
Speaker 4: on Netflix. House a Dynamite maybe, Yeah, House of Dynamite.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 5: I just found it right as you said that.
Speaker 4: And Uh, no you did not, that's it.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 5: That's cool.
Speaker 4: You didn't find it, Okay, Google, I just found it.
Speaker 4: I told you, dynamite was in the title, Sean. Somebody
Speaker 4: says Fritz is a big fan of back rooms. A
Speaker 4: lot of people are. The movie did very, very well.
Speaker 2: But I think for me and maybe this is a
Speaker 2: difference in how we interpret content and what we like
Speaker 2: and what we don't like. Fritz might like those kind
Speaker 2: of movies where you're supposed to wander around in your
Speaker 2: own interpretation of what you just saw and what it
Speaker 2: meant and what it was about. I in particular, I
Speaker 2: like a movie that makes a decision, like Obsession makes
Speaker 2: a decision.
Speaker 5: The end is very They thought it out.
Speaker 2: They had lots of different ways to go and they said,
Speaker 2: this is the avenue we're taking.
Speaker 4: What did you think of? And I don't even know,
Speaker 4: because we don't talk about this show a lot. I
Speaker 4: don't know if you were necessarily tuned into it as
Speaker 4: much as maybe.
Speaker 5: Joshua was Love Island?
Speaker 4: Uh yes, Nah, what did you think at the end
Speaker 4: of you know where they made you make the decision
Speaker 4: where they killed them all America?
Speaker 1: Well, it's to send them home from the island.
Speaker 4: Okay, what you're talking about, which is what no the Sopranos,
Speaker 4: that was a very famous example of a you know, Dan,
Speaker 4: if you do Dan, if you don't finale where things
Speaker 4: may or may not have been about to go down,
Speaker 4: and then the whole family is just sitting at the
Speaker 4: old diner listening to the Don't Stop Believing and then
Speaker 4: cut to black and the show is over and you don't.
Speaker 2: Know that's that's so funny because zephis biker on YouTube
Speaker 2: just said, I feel like the Sopranos ending is going
Speaker 2: to get mentioned in this topic for not wrapping things
Speaker 2: up with a bow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how you know. But and there was, oh,
Speaker 4: there was so much debate at the time people thought
Speaker 4: of their HBO cut out because how could they do
Speaker 4: this to us? And then some people were like, that
Speaker 4: was the worst ending ever. It was so stupid. Why
Speaker 4: did you just cut to black? And then my friend
Speaker 4: Brian at the time, who's a huge Sopranos fan, was like,
Speaker 4: it was brilliant. It was just a masterpiece. I agree
Speaker 4: with Brian.
Speaker 2: I think that Brian is right, but that's for TV shows.
Speaker 2: Now here's why the Supremes. The TV shows thing, though,
Speaker 2: could be even worse. How much time of your life
Speaker 2: did you put into the Sopranos if you watch the
Speaker 2: entire all seasons of the show to not know how
Speaker 2: it ends, versus you just do a ninety to one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty minute movie and at the end of
Speaker 2: the movie you don't really know a lot. But the Sopranos,
Speaker 2: with all of that that they put into it, and
Speaker 2: all the character development and all the great acting, there
Speaker 2: was no way to please even a large portion of
Speaker 2: that audience with the ending that you chose other than
Speaker 2: what they did there. And so that goes back to
Speaker 2: like Yucker says over on Twitch, Sean doesn't want to
Speaker 2: think after the movie's over, got it?
Speaker 4: I do?
Speaker 2: And I love a movie. There's nothing better, Courtney and
Speaker 2: I will go watch a movie and then we'll talk
Speaker 2: about what we thought about it. I do love that,
Speaker 2: but I think you know as well as I do.
Speaker 2: There's a difference between that and the creators of the
Speaker 2: movie not being brave enough to choose an ending in
Speaker 2: a meaning and leaving that up to interpretation.
Speaker 5: That is not what I want you to think about it.
Speaker 5: Get to the end.
Speaker 2: When you get to the end, make that prompt conversations
Speaker 2: and go wo wow, Okay.
Speaker 5: Then there's a lot of discussion.
Speaker 2: But what happens so many times is they'll just fade
Speaker 2: to black and then they'll say, will you tell us
Speaker 2: what you thought about it? The only thing I'll give
Speaker 2: it past is the Sopranos because I kind of liked
Speaker 2: the trolling at the time.
Speaker 5: It worked really really well. It was it was successful.
Speaker 2: We were big thanks by the way, really quickly big
Speaker 2: thanks to sun State, John coming in Hot Baby, keeping
Speaker 2: us alive at thirty four four premium subscriptions on the
Speaker 2: Newsjokiye dot com unlocking secret shows you could watch live
Speaker 2: tonight at eight pm, and then uh Cheri's Pilot with
Speaker 2: ten who as well as Tom with another ten Thank
Speaker 2: you all were go ahead. That that brings us to
Speaker 2: damn near a hundred for the day. So I want
Speaker 2: all you new folks to be a jump into the
Speaker 2: fun with secret shows tonight at eight pm Eastern.
Speaker 4: Go ahead. We were we were talking about Obsession just now,
Speaker 4: and last night Ashley said randomly said, hey, you remember
Speaker 4: an obsession when that happened. She's like, remember that scene,
Speaker 4: remember that crazy scene? And I was like, they had
Speaker 4: to cut that one down to avoid the NC seventeen,
Speaker 4: like theorious part of Obsession. Oh yea yeah. We were like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, if you were to count how many
Speaker 4: times something happened, they had to drop that count because
Speaker 4: they originally had more in there, but they didn't want
Speaker 4: the NC seventeen rating to tank their sales.
Speaker 2: So it was even worse than God. That was a
Speaker 2: very successful movie and I like it. That is one
Speaker 2: of the movies where I had to tell Courtney I
Speaker 2: was wrong.
Speaker 5: I did not do this much.
Speaker 2: I try to be accurate, I try to make sure
Speaker 2: I'm on point, but I had to tell her I
Speaker 2: was wrong because she was watching all these stupid TikTok videos.
Speaker 5: She's got her fired up.
Speaker 2: And after we watch Obsession, Courty goes, have you seen
Speaker 2: all these theories about how there's like a cat involvement
Speaker 2: in this, and then you know the cat this and that,
Speaker 2: and then this moment was supposed to make you think
Speaker 2: of the cat and the cat as this and then and.
Speaker 5: I go, this is poppycock.
Speaker 2: This is hogwash.
Speaker 5: This is nonsense.
Speaker 2: And we watched Obsession again and I was like, I
Speaker 2: think they might be right. I think that there was
Speaker 2: a couple of cis. Oh, and maybe it's not bullhockey.
Speaker 2: Maybe there's something to this. I will tell you what's
Speaker 2: going on with the story. I teas. We got to
Speaker 2: a quick break. We'll come back with Jerry Duty Before
Speaker 2: Jury Duty. Taco Bell has pulled some ingredients off its
Speaker 2: menu because there is a huge issue that is happening
Speaker 2: right now in this country and I want to help
Speaker 2: you out. So don't miss these details. They're coming up
Speaker 2: next on the News Junkie. The ad free stream is
Speaker 2: growing like wildfire because imagine that it's one of the
Speaker 2: benefits of being a secret show subscriber. And so people go, oh,
Speaker 2: I can watch on thenews junkie dot com if I'm
Speaker 2: logged in on the ad free stream, and I call
Speaker 2: it the big screen, so you get this huge screen
Speaker 2: of the video with like a slim chat on the
Speaker 2: side for TJ chat and it's awesome. And it also
Speaker 2: has like an audio only feed if you want to
Speaker 2: do it that way. So people have gone to that
Speaker 2: in drovesly. It's actually a bigger and bigger and bigger.
Speaker 2: I think there are I don't know. Sometimes there's like
Speaker 2: half as many people on there as there are on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Twitch is the small one, that's like the little tiny
Speaker 2: also ran platform. But we love you all. We love
Speaker 2: you all. We appreciate you no matter where you watch
Speaker 2: the show or listen to the show for that matter.
Speaker 2: We have to do it, so let's get into it.
Speaker 2: I don't want to say like I don't want to
Speaker 2: do it. I mean I do. I do.
Speaker 5: Let's do jury.
Speaker 2: Duty or it is now in session, so put your
Speaker 2: phone down and pay attention before we call the bailiff
Speaker 2: over to whip your ass.
Speaker 3: You're knowing Jury Duty with the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: Jury Duty brought to you by the one the only
Speaker 2: mo de Wits of the Duit Law Firm. Injured on
Speaker 2: the go, just Calmo eight hundred, CALLMO eight hundred, CALLMO
Speaker 2: or go to just Calmo dot com. Somebody says the
Speaker 2: image quality is better on the news junkie app to
Speaker 2: uh stop, I want people to watch on YouTube? All right,
Speaker 2: what are you doing to us over there? But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's probably better. This is not really a lawsuit yet,
Speaker 2: but it might be at some point in time. Taco
Speaker 2: Bell has pulled ingredients off their menu because there is
Speaker 2: this surge in cases from this parasite. In Michigan alone,
Speaker 2: over a thousand people have already been diagnosed. They think
Speaker 2: thousands and thousands more probably have it, but just don't
Speaker 2: really know what's going on. Taco Bell is pulling in
Speaker 2: radients off the menu as an explosive diarrhea parasite causes
Speaker 2: cases to surge in various states. Locations, including some in Detroit,
Speaker 2: have posted signs telling customers they will not serve related
Speaker 2: products like lettuce, cilantro, onion, pico degayo, and guacamole due
Speaker 2: to a nationwide recall. Why people don't seem to know
Speaker 2: this ceiling But let me just throw this out there.
Speaker 2: Maybe this is obvious, but I'll reiterate because I think
Speaker 2: a lot of people who listen to the show, just
Speaker 2: normal regular people will not hyper online types. But when
Speaker 2: maybe other people know this too, But when you're gonna
Speaker 2: get sick from eating something, I think people in their
Speaker 2: heads often think it's going to be seafood.
Speaker 5: Maybe they think it's undercooked meat or something.
Speaker 2: Actually, let's make sure this is correct, because I believe
Speaker 2: the most common way to get sick is actually from lettuce.
Speaker 2: I think it's from lettuce because the lettuce or the
Speaker 2: leafy greens or whatever you're eating is downstream, many times
Speaker 2: from a cattle farm, and the cows crap in the
Speaker 2: water and other animals do, and then that water comes
Speaker 2: up and ends up being used on the greens, the lettuce,
Speaker 2: or whatever it is that you're eating. And in a
Speaker 2: if you get food poisoning at a restaurant, so many
Speaker 2: times it's not the meat. It's not the it can be.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it it's not ever, but usually it's
Speaker 2: actually the lettuce. It's actually the lettuce that ends up
Speaker 2: getting people sick.
Speaker 4: Yeah I'm sick.
Speaker 5: That make me seem stupid.
Speaker 4: No no, No leafy greens, let us spinach and kale
Speaker 4: or frequent offenders. Bacteria like E. Coli can live inside
Speaker 4: the leaf tissue, making them hard to wash off. Then
Speaker 4: there's poultry, which obviously samonilla and Campylobacter composer. That's why
Speaker 4: they recommend cooking to one sixty five for your poultry,
Speaker 4: ground beef, shellfish, and raw fish. And then deli meats
Speaker 4: an unpasteurized cheese where you run the risk of listeria. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so those are the main ways, but a lot of
Speaker 4: people don't realize that. Go, well, I'll be fine, I'm
Speaker 4: not eating meat. I'm gonna have a salad. You can
Speaker 4: one hundred percent get this stuff from salads or the lettuce, cilantro,
Speaker 4: the pico, the guacamole. That's what they're pulling out of
Speaker 4: these taco bells. This parasite that's spreading everywhere making people
Speaker 4: incredibly sick, is coming through those types of things. It's
Speaker 4: called Cyclospora kid tenesis sea land Figure out, how how
Speaker 4: do I say that cyclospora?
Speaker 2: Say Tanesis neensis, say tenensis. Okay, that's it. Cyclosporas satanensis.
Speaker 2: The CDC reports that the parasite is calling it causing
Speaker 2: stomach illnesses all across the United States. People are ingesting
Speaker 2: contaminated food or water and produce has been linked to
Speaker 2: many of the reported cases. This is in seventeen different states.
Speaker 2: You gotta wash produce before you eat it, before you
Speaker 2: cut it, before you you cook it. You gotta wash
Speaker 2: your hands with soap and water before you handle raw
Speaker 2: fruits and vegetables. Don't you sanitizer on it, you weirdo.
Speaker 5: Just wash it.
Speaker 2: Avoid swallowing water during recreation, including its splash pads.
Speaker 5: Why this is disgusting, but this is the truth.
Speaker 2: When you go to these places, pools, splash pads, et cetera,
Speaker 2: there are people, oftentimes little kids pooping and then the
Speaker 2: bacteria goes from that right into your mouth and the
Speaker 2: next thing you know, you have cyclostpora.
Speaker 4: Say ten Kea tenensis.
Speaker 5: It's a long one. Man, there's a lot of letters.
Speaker 4: See if there's one of those YouTube videos. I don't
Speaker 4: trust these half the time because they just are trying
Speaker 4: to load up there their their their their their channels
Speaker 4: with content, and they don't even get it right all
Speaker 4: the time. Like, man, that's why you sometimes you end
Speaker 4: up with people who say local cities in your area
Speaker 4: and they'll say like Alamante's, and they'll be like, they
Speaker 4: sent them a link to the YouTube video to say Altamont.
Speaker 5: You know what you should do.
Speaker 2: You should take this cyclospora stuff and make a YouTube
Speaker 2: video where you're like, here's how to pronounce cyclospora, and
Speaker 2: then do a dumb ass way to pronounce it, and
Speaker 2: then record all the news outlets across the country screwing
Speaker 2: it up because that's what they do.
Speaker 8: Foretnsis Cyclospora kaya tenensis.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Ridika, I got it. Be careful out there.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to get the cyclo cycloskiet thelensis.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to get that at Taco bell
Speaker 2: or anywhere else. It's supposed to be really bad, really extreme.
Speaker 2: Puts the word explosive in all capital letters. Quick break
Speaker 2: and then the Power Hour is coming up next and
Speaker 2: the News Junkie learn more about the show over on
Speaker 2: the website Toewsjunkie dot com. I have to work this
Speaker 2: in because I tease that I would, and I just
Speaker 2: want to in general, there's a story out there that
Speaker 2: makes me question a lot of things. The first thing
Speaker 2: I have to do is start with a question for you, though,
Speaker 2: do you still read? Are you still reading things? And
Speaker 2: when I say that, I don't just mean books, like
Speaker 2: Ceiling doesn't read books. I've never known Celian to read
Speaker 2: a book in my life, but he does read stuff.
Speaker 4: I think that before I met you was the last
Speaker 4: book I actually read on purpose.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But like I said, on purpose, sometimes you fall and
Speaker 2: stumble and the next.
Speaker 4: Thing you know, a novel book.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that it's important to say I open reading
Speaker 2: up to more than just books. Sometimes you might want
Speaker 2: to learn about a topic and then you go deep
Speaker 2: and you read things, you read articles online. I think
Speaker 2: that's reading too. I think that's key. I think that's important.
Speaker 2: It doesn't just have to be books. It doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be fiction or nonfiction. Could just be you being
Speaker 2: a curious human being reading Wikipedia.
Speaker 5: Pages for all I care.
Speaker 2: But there's a story in the Atlantic right now about
Speaker 2: how young people aren't reading at all, like they're just
Speaker 2: not reading. Let me see if I can bring this up.
Speaker 2: The Atlantic has a story and they put it right
Speaker 2: there in the title. It says the end of reading
Speaker 2: is here.
Speaker 4: So not really now.
Speaker 2: Optimists once believe that universal literacy was inevitable, like everyone
Speaker 2: would be able to read, all the young people, the
Speaker 2: old people, the poor people, the rich people. If you're
Speaker 2: wondering why I'm saying poor people and rich people. Well,
Speaker 2: that used to be the great divide, because only the
Speaker 2: rich people had the books, only the rich people had
Speaker 2: the information. It was hard to get books back in
Speaker 2: the day. It was hard until recent history, maybe mid
Speaker 2: nineteen hundreds. It was hard to actually get your hands
Speaker 2: on this stuff, and it took some actual effort. But
Speaker 2: the end of reading is here as the name of
Speaker 2: the article. And I've got a couple of particular things
Speaker 2: that are going viral in this here's one of the
Speaker 2: paragraphs that stands out. Reading has come to seem extraneous,
Speaker 2: even to some of the best educated members of society.
Speaker 2: Margaret Rennix, Harvard's Assistant director for Humanities and Social Sciences Support,
Speaker 2: told me she'd spoken with a student who is struggling
Speaker 2: to read a book written in Old English. Now, all right,
Speaker 2: Old English is a thing we're talking about Harvard here.
Speaker 2: Now we are talking about humanities and social sciences, which
Speaker 2: no offense if your degree is in that. But that's
Speaker 2: where the dummies come from. There's a difference between being
Speaker 2: a Harvard engineer or a Hart Harvard grad in some
Speaker 2: other field, any science based field or tech based field
Speaker 2: or stem based field, and a Harvard grad and I'm
Speaker 2: sorry the humanities and Social sciences because that is definitely
Speaker 2: where the dummies tend to populate. I hate if that
Speaker 2: hits you, but it just is true. So she said,
Speaker 2: this woman who's the assistant director in Harvard for Humanities
Speaker 2: and Social Sciences. She'd spoken to a student who was
Speaker 2: struggling to read a book in Old English, the culprit
Speaker 2: Anthony Burgess's nineteen sixty two novel A Clockwork Orange. The
Speaker 2: student used chat gpt to translate the book into an
Speaker 2: easier language. Not long ago, a Harvard sociology professor, troubled
Speaker 2: by course evaluations in which students said they resented the
Speaker 2: amount of dense reading they were assigned, asked Rennix to
Speaker 2: speak to his class in defensive reading. She had to
Speaker 2: explain to students at America's most elite university taking a
Speaker 2: course in discipline rooted in written observation, argumentation, and analysis,
Speaker 2: that excerpts and summaries cannot capture the depth and sophistication
Speaker 2: of a complete primary text. She's saying, cliff notes don't
Speaker 2: cut it. The cliffs notes are great for some things,
Speaker 2: but it doesn't cut it all right, telling chat gbt
Speaker 2: to read the whole thing and then tell you what
Speaker 2: it thought. It's not going to work. Let me tell
Speaker 2: you this from a little bit of experience. Short story here,
Speaker 2: I won't blob too long. Every day after me and
Speaker 2: my family where lookout mountain? I'm not doing that again.
Speaker 2: After the show. Every day I post the podcast. You
Speaker 2: could subscribe over the Newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 4: It's free.
Speaker 2: And when I post the podcast, I have built some
Speaker 2: software that allows me to hit transcribe. When the podcast
Speaker 2: goes live and I hit transcribe, it swallows every bit
Speaker 2: of the words that we have said on the podcast
Speaker 2: that day, and it spits them out in text form.
Speaker 2: I then bring that over to an AI and I say,
Speaker 2: ingest this text document, which is an entire transcription from
Speaker 2: the beginning of the News Junkie to the end of
Speaker 2: the News Junkie, I said, tell me the best opportunities
Speaker 2: for longer form videos in short form videos that exist
Speaker 2: in today's show transcript And then I had noticed after
Speaker 2: a while, I said, why is it never recommending that
Speaker 2: I take a clip or a highlight from the News
Speaker 2: Junkie that day from the end of the show.
Speaker 5: Does the end of the show suck?
Speaker 2: Are Seilan, and I so burned out by the Power
Speaker 2: hour that we don't know what to talk about anymore.
Speaker 2: We're not making hits in the final hour of the show.
Speaker 4: Hard to be burned out when you haven't started it yet.
Speaker 5: I will start it in a second. Let me finish
Speaker 5: this first.
Speaker 2: And so I said, hey, are you not reading the
Speaker 2: entire transcript? And I said no, Actually, when you give
Speaker 2: me an entire tech Space file, I read the first
Speaker 2: third and I make all of my judgments off of that.
Speaker 2: You have to explicitly tell me to read the entirety
Speaker 2: of the document. Otherwise I only read the first third
Speaker 2: and then I tell you what I think. That's what
Speaker 2: AI's doing when you tell it to read all this
Speaker 2: stuff and then tell you what you missed from your
Speaker 2: your lesson in class, and that's what they're talking about.
Speaker 2: So she had to explain to people that excerpts and
Speaker 2: summaries don't capture the depth and sophistication of a primary text.
Speaker 5: Rennix told me that you're doing the summary.
Speaker 2: Some students now view reading as an unnecessarily burdensome way
Speaker 2: of acquiring knowledge by asking them to read, She said,
Speaker 2: this is the one at Harvard professors are arbitrarily withholding
Speaker 2: information from students by forcing them to get it through
Speaker 2: a more difficult medium. They don't want to read. They
Speaker 2: think it's burdensome. They say, why don't you just tell
Speaker 2: us about this? Why don't you just be honest with us?
Speaker 4: Here?
Speaker 2: And I've got more on this that I want to
Speaker 2: share with you, but first let's do the Power Hour.
Speaker 4: They said, gone.
Speaker 2: Then they said, oh my god, me too, sister, Absolutely
Speaker 2: go off Queen time for the Power Hour on the news.
Speaker 5: Un I knew that was going to come back to Hay,
Speaker 5: knew that was the case.
Speaker 4: I lied about something. I have read books recently. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I read plenty of books.
Speaker 5: What books.
Speaker 4: Let's see, there's a grumpy monkey. Uh, there's a.
Speaker 2: You're reading Jackson a book called Are You My Mother?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: That was that was a classic book, Are You My Mother?
Speaker 4: My parents read that to me.
Speaker 2: I don't know this one.
Speaker 4: It's about a it's about a bird about an adopted kid. No,
Speaker 4: it's a bird who who goes off to find the
Speaker 4: egg is about to hatch, and it goes off to
Speaker 4: find food for the newborn. And then the egg hatches
Speaker 4: and the mother's not there, and so he jumps out
Speaker 4: of the tree and meets all these different animals, says,
Speaker 4: are you my mother? And then finally he finds his mother.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's adorable, and I would kind of count that
Speaker 2: as reading. But I think the problem persists that we're
Speaker 2: talking about here. Here's another example of this. University professors
Speaker 2: are saying they're now unable to teach history because reading
Speaker 2: long books and passages is how a person learns history.
Speaker 2: Their students are simply incapable of reading more than a
Speaker 2: few pages. This is on a college level. The professors
Speaker 2: and stuff are saying, like, the kids are incapable of
Speaker 2: reading more than a few pages? Did we do away
Speaker 2: with required reading? I mean, that was just always part
Speaker 2: of the school experience. I would think that that would
Speaker 2: be a requirement still, but maybe not. There's an assumption
Speaker 2: among the people managing this decline that the reading is
Speaker 2: just a way of receiving information.
Speaker 4: It isn't.
Speaker 2: Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to
Speaker 2: synthesize ideas and evaluate them.
Speaker 5: The young people are like, why will we read?
Speaker 2: We can use technology to sort of force feed this
Speaker 2: into our system. We need to cut to the chase.
Speaker 2: Why are we wasting our time reading, and the experts
Speaker 2: are saying, no, you literally have to read to learn this.
Speaker 2: What happens when the AI answer is too long for
Speaker 2: them to read? Then the do Yeah, I splain it
Speaker 2: like I'm five. Here's a very important piece of this
Speaker 2: Atlantic article called the end of Reading. In twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: in a national test, just thirty five percent, all right,
Speaker 2: just thirty five percent of high school seniors were proficient
Speaker 2: at skills such as analyzing complex fictional themes and evaluating
Speaker 2: the effectiveness of an author's argument. This is why so
Speaker 2: much of this is a waste of time. All the
Speaker 2: people trying to convince people of political stuff, Like if
Speaker 2: I just convinced them that you know, this isn't bad,
Speaker 2: and this isn't bad, and this is good and this
Speaker 2: is it doesn't matter. Only thirty five percent of high
Speaker 2: school seniors can even tell you how effective an argument is.
Speaker 2: They can't even diagnose what the the actual basis of
Speaker 2: an argument is, to tell you if it was a
Speaker 2: good one or a bad one. They don't look at
Speaker 2: any of this about the same numbers scored below basic meaning.
Speaker 2: They may struggle to draw conclusions from concepts explicitly included
Speaker 2: in a text, or use context clues to determine the
Speaker 2: meaning of an unknown word. So only thirty five percent
Speaker 2: of these people can determine what a word means by
Speaker 2: the words around it if they're not familiar with the word,
Speaker 2: nearly thirty percent.
Speaker 5: Brace yourself here.
Speaker 2: Nearly thirty percent of American adults cannot paraphrase or make
Speaker 2: inferences from a multi page text. In twenty seventeen, that
Speaker 2: was less than twenty percent. It's now gone up to
Speaker 2: nearly thirty percent of Americans one out of three. Basically,
Speaker 2: they cannot read multiple pages and then paraphrase it to you.
Speaker 2: Is it just plaining what you just read?
Speaker 9: Just me?
Speaker 4: Are these people writing these opinions and writing these studies
Speaker 4: and whatever really shoehorning a lot of big, big vocab
Speaker 4: words into them to make your statement about everybody being
Speaker 4: dumb even harder to read it? Yes, but.
Speaker 3: Are you telling me?
Speaker 2: Are you telling me you can't read something and if
Speaker 2: there's a word in there you don't understand, you can
Speaker 2: look at the text around it and guess what the.
Speaker 1: Word probably means.
Speaker 4: I understand context clues, Yeah, yeah, I see, But they can't.
Speaker 4: A third of them can't the final thing I want
Speaker 4: to share with you on this topic, and then we'll
Speaker 4: take your thoughts. There is a professor who decided to
Speaker 4: do something very unique and smart.
Speaker 5: His name is Professor Serrano.
Speaker 2: Professor Serrano had all of his students take home the
Speaker 2: final exam and everybody, all sixty seventy seven students, all
Speaker 2: seventy seven students in his ECON eleven seventy mid term
Speaker 2: class or is ECON eleven seventy class, All seventy seven
Speaker 2: students were able to bring the test home and take it,
Speaker 2: and all of them scored between ninety and one hundred percent,
Speaker 2: almost all of them. There were only a few outliers
Speaker 2: who scored below. There was some person who got a
Speaker 2: seventy right, but almost everybody got in the nineties.
Speaker 5: You see.
Speaker 2: Then when they got back to class, he said, I'm
Speaker 2: glad you guys did so well. Now we're going to
Speaker 2: do the same tests right now in class without the
Speaker 2: help of any kind of AI that you might use.
Speaker 2: One student got a ninety five point five percent on
Speaker 2: the take home version and a ninety five on the
Speaker 2: one that they did in class. Almost everybody else got
Speaker 2: like this. One student got one hundred one hundred percent
Speaker 2: on the take home version and of fifty one percent
Speaker 2: on the version the professor made them take in class.
Speaker 2: Somebody got a ninety seven and a forty percent. There
Speaker 2: were people who got a hundred and then took the
Speaker 2: test in the class.
Speaker 4: Okay, they just didn't take the test and got zero.
Speaker 5: They didn't take the test.
Speaker 2: Got a zero, or at the very least somebody who
Speaker 2: got one hundred at home in a sixteen percent on
Speaker 2: the version that they had them do in class. Let
Speaker 2: me know what you think is reading dead? What's happening here?
Speaker 2: Is this a bigger problem?
Speaker 5: Let us know.
Speaker 2: Send it dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com right now.
Speaker 2: We'll see if AI even recognize the segment or if
Speaker 2: it was just too boring.
Speaker 4: Care I'm not reading it that.
Speaker 2: Idea, Sean, you should do a long form video on reading.
Speaker 4: What is this reading rainbow on the radio?
Speaker 2: Sean, whatever, whatever your criticism is, it's a problem.
Speaker 5: It's a problem for sure.
Speaker 2: Very quickly, there was a change today for many of
Speaker 2: you in one of our markets, particularly those of you
Speaker 2: who are hanging out with us in West Palm Beach
Speaker 2: rag Now as of five oh one am this morning,
Speaker 2: The Palm Beach International Airport in Palm Beach County, Florida
Speaker 2: has officially been renamed to President Donald J. Trump International
Speaker 2: Airport with the FAA dropping this out there, and they
Speaker 2: officially did the name change, and they warned that there
Speaker 2: might be delays because of this.
Speaker 4: Well they even changed the airport code. That's odd.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems like a pain in the ass too,
Speaker 2: by the way, huge pain in the ass that this is.
Speaker 2: Is this one of the flights coming in five oh
Speaker 2: one a m Palm Beach International National Airport was officially
Speaker 2: renamed Is this the moment aircraft immediately?
Speaker 9: Palm Beach International Airport is officially President Donald J.
Speaker 3: Trump International Airport, President Donald J.
Speaker 6: Trump International Airport eight at Information Hotel now current.
Speaker 3: Trump al Senator three zero zero nine.
Speaker 2: That's how it came across out shot. Understanding it, Pilo goes, oh,
Speaker 2: now it's official. Now it's official. They were en route
Speaker 2: to the airport while the name change took place, like hey, oh,
Speaker 2: by the way, just so you know, now this is
Speaker 2: a different airport.
Speaker 5: So the medew And and wes Palm got to deal
Speaker 5: with a name chain.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what would be an interesting way of
Speaker 4: approaching this, But I feel like, because it's it's Trump,
Speaker 4: if there were any videos of this, it might be
Speaker 4: a little annoying or divisive, but it does happen. It
Speaker 4: would be funny if they made an announcement, They're like, attention, attention, passengers.
Speaker 4: At this point, we are it's our duty to inform
Speaker 4: you that we're no longer flying to Palm Beach International Airport.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, we will not be landing at Palm
Speaker 2: Beach International Airport. I apologie, like what what what gas?
Speaker 2: We're instead going to be landing at Donald J. Trump,
Speaker 2: the President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
Speaker 4: If it were any other name change, it might be
Speaker 4: an interesting video, but I feel like this one, you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna get some yeah, yeah, just fights all the way around.
Speaker 2: Let us know what you think. Send a dispatch over
Speaker 2: on the Newsjunkie dot com. Right now, quick break, we're
Speaker 2: back with a pick a side. I've got one for
Speaker 2: you here. I'm interested to see what you think about
Speaker 2: this is that is coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: Here we go, I have a pick a side for you,
Speaker 2: and let me see what I can learn about this.
Speaker 2: This happened in Texas. So hello to our friends in Texas,
Speaker 2: and it's got a one point nine million views Texas.
Speaker 2: Let's go along for the ride, and you pick a side.
Speaker 2: Who's right. There's a man who's getting in trouble for
Speaker 2: his speech, for what he is saying, and there's a
Speaker 2: female police officer attempting to charge him with something or like,
Speaker 2: you know, find him, you know, have violated some sort
Speaker 2: of ordinance here. So let's go in. Let's figure out
Speaker 2: what happened, and let's figure out who's in the right here.
Speaker 2: Stay by the dump button, se Len because I do
Speaker 2: not know.
Speaker 4: You said he's getting in trouble for his speech. I uh, okay, Well.
Speaker 2: He's a religious guy, so maybe he doesn't curse. And
Speaker 2: she's a police officer. Maybe she doesn't curse.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Here we go. This video is going megaviral right now.
Speaker 2: It is a street pastor and a police officer fighting
Speaker 2: over freedom of speech. But you have to pick a
Speaker 2: side to tell us who's right. Let's go on a journey.
Speaker 20: Seems like music, not flucking if someone is offended, but
Speaker 20: you're tucking then on a problem.
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, so that this woman's a police officer,
Speaker 2: I want you to remember this. I always do find
Speaker 2: it a little frightening that there are many police officers
Speaker 2: who do not understand our constitutional rights, even in the slightest.
Speaker 4: I am always a little bit amazed that.
Speaker 18: There's a lot of police officers are like, that's definitely illegal.
Speaker 5: And I'm like, I'm not a cop, and I know
Speaker 5: that's not illegal.
Speaker 2: This guy is speaking on the sidewalk and he said,
Speaker 2: I'm below whatever the decibels are for a complaint about
Speaker 2: my speech.
Speaker 5: And she goes, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: If some but he's offended by your speech, then you
Speaker 2: have lost out and you can't do this, and you
Speaker 2: you've broken the law. Basically, I'll start from the beginning.
Speaker 20: It seems like music, not fucking If someone is offended
Speaker 20: by your talking, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So I would stop the copy right there and
Speaker 2: go I'm offended by your talking. How do we proceed?
Speaker 2: How do you suggest? Yeah, somebody says freedom of speech
Speaker 2: on a traditional public forum, she is dead wrong or
Speaker 2: not says the police are wrong this this guy seems so.
Speaker 5: Far to be in the right.
Speaker 2: But let's see you.
Speaker 4: Shut us down.
Speaker 7: Speech.
Speaker 4: Okay there, wait, you're gonna take us for offensive speech?
Speaker 7: Are you?
Speaker 2: Serious speech, you're gonna.
Speaker 1: Who condo?
Speaker 5: So she just it's called disorderly conduct.
Speaker 2: This is a police officer in Texas, in the Great
Speaker 2: State of Texas, in United States of America based police
Speaker 2: officer is saying that, well, if your speech is offending somebody,
Speaker 2: then it's not free speech.
Speaker 5: You're not allowed to do that.
Speaker 2: I probably disagree with what this guy is saying, but
Speaker 2: you know the old phrase that you defend to the
Speaker 2: death their right to say it, right, some of you
Speaker 2: have really lost out on that one. I just didn't
Speaker 2: know that the police officers were among those who have
Speaker 2: you said, he's a preacher, right, yeah, free preacher. What
Speaker 2: do we know anything about the speech that was offending people?
Speaker 4: Am I to assume that he was just preaching the
Speaker 4: word of God and that's what people were offended by.
Speaker 2: I can tell you who he is. His name is
Speaker 2: Rich Pankowski. I'll give you more about him in a
Speaker 2: second sea lane. But Rich Pankowski is this preacher. He
Speaker 2: was at a Pride festival as this was happening, and
Speaker 2: I guess you can kind.
Speaker 5: Of imagine and what he was saying there.
Speaker 2: But she said, if people are offended by your speech,
Speaker 2: this is a cop saying this, whoa dude, you're a cop?
Speaker 2: She should be fired immediately immediately. How can we have
Speaker 2: law enforcement who has such an adopey view on speech,
Speaker 2: which is such an important freedom of ours, This lady
Speaker 2: is crazy speech?
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, are you serious?
Speaker 8: Speech?
Speaker 2: You're gonna site us for a bat has the accompanied
Speaker 2: by conducts.
Speaker 20: This is the conduct retired police officers or here.
Speaker 4: Twenty six years federal law enforcement.
Speaker 12: So it isn't to do with local.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's federal and nothing to do with local here
Speaker 2: in the great state of Texas, if you're offended by
Speaker 2: what somebody's saying, you can stop them and get them arrested.
Speaker 2: I would just throw the logic at this dumb bitch. Hey,
Speaker 2: what if I'm offended by what you're saying right now?
Speaker 2: What if that person's offended by what I'm saying to you?
Speaker 2: And then around around everybody just has to shut up
Speaker 2: or we all go to jail because somebody is offended
Speaker 2: by what we're saying. Bro, there could be hateful things
Speaker 2: and bad things and good things and all of all
Speaker 2: of these things out there, but this is just dumb.
Speaker 2: Are they in California know they're in Texas? Somebody said,
Speaker 2: this is why First Amendment auditors have a place. They
Speaker 2: tend to be annoying. But maybe there's a reason. Hell,
Speaker 2: maybe there's a reason. When people the cops don't know.
Speaker 3: The law, you can do. You'll know the law.
Speaker 4: So I just want to clarify it.
Speaker 8: If anything is said that's offensive, you're gonna write the ticket, complain.
Speaker 20: Wage or what you're saying is offensive.
Speaker 2: Okay, So they cut her off at the end there.
Speaker 2: I don't know where that went. But if somebody complains
Speaker 2: that your language is offensive or what you're saying is offensive,
Speaker 2: then we will write you up. We'll give you you've broken
Speaker 2: the law basically, Like, that's pretty dumb, man.
Speaker 4: You shouldn't be a cop if you think that.
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know how you got through the whole system.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you got a badge. But let
Speaker 2: me let me bring up the background on this here,
Speaker 2: because I want to know more about this preacher. What
Speaker 2: was he saying to me? I don't care if it's
Speaker 2: radical Islamists out there, I don't care if it's uh,
Speaker 2: I don't know people I disagree with just about whatever.
Speaker 2: If it's people who are completely opposed to me, like,
Speaker 2: I believe in freedom of speech. If it's anti freedom
Speaker 2: of speech people and they're like, out there, you shouldn't
Speaker 2: have a First amend down with the First Amendment, I
Speaker 2: would still go, hey, they're in a public space. They
Speaker 2: have the right to say that stuff. Somebody says, see
Speaker 2: you in court, fair enough, see you in court. But
Speaker 2: should it be that way, because why shouldn't we see
Speaker 2: you in court when a cop is the person who
Speaker 2: doesn't understand the law, you're gonna ticket us for offensive speech.
Speaker 2: A Fort Worth officer warned somebody at a pride festival,
Speaker 2: sparking a First Amendment here's the story in front of
Speaker 2: me celane, and this has got a lot of people talking.
Speaker 2: A video of a fort Worth police officer warning a
Speaker 2: street preacher that he could be a cited for offensive
Speaker 2: speech at Trinity Pride Fest has gone viral. They said,
Speaker 2: if somebody is offended by your talking, then we have
Speaker 2: a problem. The officer said. The preacher is rich Penkowski,
Speaker 2: and he pushed back at the officer's reason. He said,
Speaker 2: that is a constitutional violation of your rights if you
Speaker 2: shut us down for talking about speech. The officer clarified
Speaker 2: her position. She said, no, if they are offended by
Speaker 2: your speech, to which Pinkowski said, okay.
Speaker 4: Fair.
Speaker 2: Pinkowski appeared to be acknowledging her clarification than conceding the
Speaker 2: legal point before the exchange escalated further. The officer then
Speaker 2: told the preacher she intended to cite him. Okay, then
Speaker 2: I'll write you this ticket and we'll see where we
Speaker 2: go from there. That is another fundamental problem I have
Speaker 2: with this. A dumb ass cop who doesn't know that
Speaker 2: we have freedom of speech, even if she or somebody
Speaker 2: else finds it to be offensive, can then write you
Speaker 2: a ticket and will go from there. Well, why doesn't
Speaker 2: that ever end up in something bad for you? Will
Speaker 2: I'll write you a ticket. I'm so unbelievably ignorant of
Speaker 2: the law. I'll write you a ticket and will go
Speaker 2: from there. Okay, let's bet what happens if you're wrong.
Speaker 2: What happens if you're wrong as a police officer, You
Speaker 2: should lose your badge immediately. Right If you want to
Speaker 2: say you're going to upend my life, cause me issues,
Speaker 2: make me go to court, you should lose your job immediately.
Speaker 2: This guy, thankfully knew a little bit more about the
Speaker 2: law than the officer did. But tell us what you think.
Speaker 2: Pick a side. Who is in the right here seems
Speaker 2: like kind of a slam dunk to me. Let us
Speaker 2: know your thoughts and send your final dispatches in right
Speaker 2: now over on thenewsjuonki dot com.
Speaker 5: Is there something that I'm missing here? It just seems
Speaker 5: so blatantly obvious.
Speaker 4: Uh, this is one of the obviiest pick asides you've uh,
Speaker 4: you've had in a while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. In response to the incident, the
Speaker 2: department said it would provide officers trainees with refresher training
Speaker 2: on First Amendment protections. So like, oh, I'm sorry that
Speaker 2: that lady's a little bit dumb. We're going to give
Speaker 2: him some training to see if we can figure out
Speaker 2: what happened here.
Speaker 4: Maybe we put just on the MO list. But I mean,
Speaker 4: if he did take that ticket to court, can't you
Speaker 4: seek the compensation for whatever lawyer you paid to do
Speaker 4: this or whatever whatever time it took out of you.
Speaker 2: Maybe I just think if you end up suing because
Speaker 2: people are saying sue, it's just such a lot of work,
Speaker 2: and cops are so protected by this stuff. Cops are
Speaker 2: so protected with qualified immunity and other things that I believe,
Speaker 2: I firmly believe there should be a system. And if
Speaker 2: a cop charges you with something and they were so
Speaker 2: unbelievably wrong about the law that they are they are
Speaker 2: serving and protecting allegedly right the law that they are
Speaker 2: sworn to protect. If they were so unbelievably wrong about it,
Speaker 2: there should be like a three strikes thing, like you
Speaker 2: get this wrong, you get two more wrong, and then
Speaker 2: just give us your badge.
Speaker 5: You're out of here. You don't know the law. You
Speaker 5: get two.
Speaker 2: Strikes, you better start reading the law.
Speaker 4: Points on their badge like they put points on our license. True.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd be fine with that too. Let us know
Speaker 5: what you think.
