Speaker 1: think we'll have some fun along the way. It'll get
Speaker 1: weird y. I'm guaranteeing weird today, always guaranteeing weird. So
Speaker 1: we'll see where everything goes. Let's start by putting our
Speaker 1: ears to the ground, our fingers of the pulse, let's
Speaker 1: see what's happening in this great, big, wide world of
Speaker 1: ours and we go to a car dealership. Everybody, all right,
Speaker 1: I know you weren't expecting that. Huh, we were going
Speaker 1: this way that way. I mean usually it's an airplane.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of times it's an airplane.
Speaker 1: You know this new meme you got going on where
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the show is about airplanes is
Speaker 1: a little heartful. Show is about airplanes a lot.
Speaker 5: I consider the fact that this is what he does
Speaker 5: to cope with his planes, and it's helping me out
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you it. Now got me see Lane
Speaker 1: saying like everything will be like, is it on a plane?
Speaker 1: Everything on this show is on a plane. This might
Speaker 1: as well be the plane junkie, isn't it the airplane junkie?
Speaker 1: And now I look down when I'm grabbing my next story,
Speaker 1: and if it's about a plane, I'm like, oh, son
Speaker 1: of a bitch, it's a.
Speaker 2: Story, Sela.
Speaker 1: It's gonna put another one down on the collar with
Speaker 1: the plane stories for this.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: This is at a car dealership, a car dealership where
Speaker 1: you got to be creative, don't you. You want to
Speaker 1: sell vehicles in twenty twenty six. How do you cut
Speaker 1: through the nonsense? How do you get people's attention? You
Speaker 1: take little bites of burgers or big bites of burgers,
Speaker 1: or you sell your car with a little bit of skill.
Speaker 1: And this particular gentleman, let let me see if I
Speaker 1: can give him a shout out. He works at the
Speaker 1: Chrysler dealership in Coco, Florida, and he started going fine
Speaker 1: to be confused with Cocoa Beach. They don't like it.
Speaker 1: They hate each other. It's like the North and the South.
Speaker 1: It's real bad between those two for the same reasons too.
Speaker 1: And this is how they advertise their cars at the
Speaker 1: car dealership. The guy, I guess is a really good
Speaker 1: opera singer, so he opera sings the cars.
Speaker 3: So that's how he sells it.
Speaker 1: That's how he sells it.
Speaker 4: Is this how we find out that there's not a
Speaker 4: future in being a really good opera singer.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's talented, and but he didn't end up on
Speaker 1: the stage next to you know, the fat guy, the
Speaker 1: fat lady whoever does that stuff?
Speaker 4: Here?
Speaker 2: He is, let's listen in.
Speaker 7: Not real.
Speaker 1: He said by this Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat that's what
Speaker 1: he's getting into here.
Speaker 5: Is singing or is the sinking whatever? Or or just
Speaker 5: this is how loud he actually is with me.
Speaker 1: He's a loud man. He is a loud boisterous from
Speaker 1: the chest man. Yeah, it's hard he's doing it though.
Speaker 1: What's a jail break car? That sounds where you could
Speaker 1: load apps on it that weren't in the cars app store?
Speaker 7: Is that right?
Speaker 1: I don't even know a jail Yeah? I mean do
Speaker 1: they name a car jail break? Are we at like
Speaker 1: Grand Theft Auto levels of naming vehicles these days?
Speaker 2: This is what's happening.
Speaker 3: Very unreliable card for that.
Speaker 1: It's no good the challenger. So I thought hellcats were cool.
Speaker 1: They're not there. They're cool, but not reliable. No, do
Speaker 1: you know somebody with a hellcut?
Speaker 5: I just follow a certain person on TikTok who names.
Speaker 3: All the reliable and garbage cars. Hellcat was one of
Speaker 3: the main ones.
Speaker 1: Really, okay, don't get what of those unless there's a
Speaker 1: guy singing opera?
Speaker 2: How do you even sing opera?
Speaker 1: Is this? Sorry?
Speaker 2: If this is stupid question?
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen it live?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: Okay, I had not up until a karaoke was hosting
Speaker 5: last year Sunday Fun Day and Gal came in with
Speaker 5: her parents older and I'm still doing the savvy thing
Speaker 5: of like filthy lyrics and whatever else comes out of
Speaker 5: my mouth.
Speaker 3: They're like nutting her, Go do the thing, Go do
Speaker 3: the thing.
Speaker 5: And she requests Carmen carmana Karma, you know the Carmen,
Speaker 5: the Carmen she gets in front of everybody, and I
Speaker 5: kid you not, the entire bar was silence as she
Speaker 5: sang for five minutes, full blown opera and next to it,
Speaker 5: I mean, the microphone was three feet away from her
Speaker 5: and you could still hear everything she was saying. It
Speaker 5: was fantastic. And I said, I get you on the show,
Speaker 5: and she said, no, I'm leaving.
Speaker 1: Is it so different than regular singing that if she
Speaker 1: was to try to sing like a Taylor Swift song,
Speaker 1: she would suck? Oh?
Speaker 3: Like sorry, I had to go press record real quick.
Speaker 3: I forgot.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pretty sure I nailed that nail. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta get down climax. I'm just trying to just
Speaker 1: try to opera sing. Expect Wednesday to kick off this way,

Speaker 1: that Tips of the neews Junkie dot Com after yesterday's
Speaker 1: show where Misty's got it hard and not in the
Speaker 1: kind of way they like necessarily, but one seemed to
Speaker 1: the people named Misty because there is a woman we'll get,
Speaker 1: We're gonna do an update on her story today. Involved
Speaker 1: in this huge sex scandal, Misty Roberts. Her son caught
Speaker 1: her in the pool with his sixteen year old friend
Speaker 1: having sex and then she said, we lie till we die.
Speaker 1: That was her friend, I think said we lie till
Speaker 1: we die, Okay, And they got together and they were
Speaker 1: doing a whole cover up, and this woman was a freak.
Speaker 1: And I said, a lot of misties are weird. They're
Speaker 1: like this another Misty Emailing. After hearing the explanation as
Speaker 1: to why you wanted Mistis to come forward, I felt
Speaker 1: like Homer Simpson going back into the shrubs. This person
Speaker 1: says in defense, I'm pretty low key, so much so
Speaker 1: that people I know think I'm secretly in the CIA
Speaker 1: or something. But yes, it is true. As a misty,
Speaker 1: I'm not a prude. Men have told me I am
Speaker 1: a machine all right, well.
Speaker 2: Really, but everything else I disavowed.
Speaker 1: Not a troublemaker for Realsi's says this Missy over to
Speaker 1: Missy or Misty, Misty, excuse me, Missy, that was an
Speaker 1: actual missy over to Delbert Emailing the show.
Speaker 2: Tips to the Neewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: I spent sixteen of b twenty years in the Air Force,
Speaker 1: flying on EC one thirty e's. I retired in two
Speaker 1: thousand and five. He's talking about the discussion about Iran
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff. The modes and codes identified
Speaker 1: you as a friend or enemy. The modes and codes
Speaker 1: rotate every twenty four hours. US air crews are current
Speaker 1: and update and rotate codes on time to make sure
Speaker 1: US aircraft don't get shot down. So he's talking about
Speaker 1: how and it came out, I have this somewhere here.
Speaker 1: It came out yesterday that it was a Kuwaiti fire
Speaker 1: jet fighter jet that shot down those three F fifteens.
Speaker 1: One dude in a fighter jet in Kuwait says he
Speaker 1: accidentally shot down three American F fifteen's, costing US about
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars. He right, a lot, a lot
Speaker 1: of moneies, right, And the story was he I'll give
Speaker 1: you the details before I get to the rest of
Speaker 1: the email. The story from the Wall Street Journal says
Speaker 1: a Kuwaiti fighter jet mistakenly shot down American F fifteen's.
Speaker 1: Initial reports said a Kuwaitifa eighteen fighter jet was the
Speaker 1: cause of the accidental shootdown of three American F fifteens
Speaker 1: on Sunday. According to three people familiar with initial reports
Speaker 1: of the incident, one FA eighteen pilot launched three missiles
Speaker 1: against the US aircraft. According to a US official, all
Speaker 1: three US aircraft went down, but the pilots ejected safely.
Speaker 1: Was just a miracle, miracle that these people didn't die.
Speaker 1: The incident occurred soon after multiple Iranian drones penetrated Kuwaiti
Speaker 1: air defenses, with one striking the Tactical operations center at
Speaker 1: a commercial port and killing six American service members. Accorded
Speaker 1: to a second person, Kuwaiti officials were on edge when
Speaker 1: the radars detected the jets flying in and that the
Speaker 1: pilot was like, is there more drones?
Speaker 11: Are?
Speaker 1: Are they gonna go after the Americans? We must save
Speaker 1: the Americans. Boom bomb bomb, And they fired instead of
Speaker 1: on more Iranian drones, on three American US aircraft F fifteen's,
Speaker 1: each of them carrying two pilots, and shut them down.
Speaker 1: A US Central Command spokesperson declined to comment. The incident's
Speaker 1: under investigation. Official cause of the crash could change. But
Speaker 1: Delbert is talking about how this all works, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: shouldn't they have known They're using Patriot defense missiles probably
Speaker 1: American built planes, who knows, and firing on American built
Speaker 1: planes and there are ally how do they not know
Speaker 1: any of this stuff? So he says, US aircrafts are current,
Speaker 1: update and rotate codes on time to make sure they
Speaker 1: don't get shot down. Since the Kuwait's fired, I can
Speaker 1: guess they didn't load the right modes and codes, and
Speaker 1: they showed up on the radar's enemies. From what Delbert
Speaker 1: is saying, you have like a pop up display in
Speaker 1: your fighter jet and people literally show.
Speaker 2: Up as good guy or bad guy.
Speaker 1: Nice like, there's like a little icon for good guy
Speaker 1: or a bad guy. So way, where are the show
Speaker 1: didn't load the codes and modes? I don't know, but
Speaker 1: if you add one more to that, I think I
Speaker 1: might explode. No too far. Other basic information. All US
Speaker 1: aircrew member, pilots, navigators, load masters, aircraft.
Speaker 2: Controllers, all those people.
Speaker 1: They must They must wear a flight suit and complete
Speaker 1: land and water survival courses to survive situations like this.
Speaker 1: We all must carry nine millimeter handguns. You have to
Speaker 1: know first aid, survival techniques, all of that stuff. Happy
Speaker 1: to answer your.
Speaker 4: Question, is the nine millimeter handgun just in case they
Speaker 4: can't read the blood, it's.
Speaker 2: A poison pill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably like a lot of people who don't look
Speaker 1: like they like Americans on the web.
Speaker 5: Give them one nine milimeter and the other gun shoots
Speaker 5: out a sign like the old cartoons that also and
Speaker 5: their language tells them please don't kill me.
Speaker 1: Last one for now, Jack emails the show. He says,
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the beginning of the podcast from Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and you started talking about something for Monday, but there
Speaker 1: is no Monday podcast. What gives. I'm an avid daily
Speaker 1: listener for over five years. Where is my show? Says
Speaker 1: Jacks A. Sea Land also pointed that out yesterday, and
Speaker 1: I guess, in the mix of eight billion things I
Speaker 1: had going on, I forgot to post a podcast on Monday,
Speaker 1: so I posted it as the missing show. So both
Speaker 1: of them are up now, so you should be good
Speaker 1: to go. Podcast peeps, let us know how that rolls
Speaker 1: on your end, hopefully all as well. All right, quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we have a loaded up show.
Speaker 1: They shot down a battleship. They sunk a battleship, first
Speaker 1: time since World War Two? What the hell?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what actually happened with that. We'll
Speaker 1: get into that. Then we got a crisis in the
Speaker 1: power company world. Utility workers on edge because of what
Speaker 1: happened with are their peers. I'm gonna play the audio
Speaker 1: of one of their peers making what may have been
Speaker 1: a massive mistake. It's going to rock your world. And
Speaker 1: that is coming up next on the news junkie a
Speaker 1: bit of a choice ahead of you here. I'm going
Speaker 1: to see Len and Sabrina give you a decision to make,
Speaker 1: and well, you know, choose your own adventure here on
Speaker 1: the show. Do you want an update on the burger
Speaker 1: war that we are currently chronicling, and that is between
Speaker 1: McDonald's and Burger King when the weirdo you're talking about
Speaker 1: it like it's a new thing, like they've just started fighting, Well,
Speaker 1: they just started fighting in this way, and the McDonald
Speaker 1: ceo took that tiny weirdo bite out of the burger
Speaker 1: and then Burger King ceo, who pretended to give out
Speaker 1: his phone number last week or whatever, he decided to
Speaker 1: fight back and take a big bite out of a
Speaker 1: Burger King burger.
Speaker 2: And I have an update on that front.
Speaker 1: Or a utility worker who is caught in the most
Speaker 1: insane situation that I've ever seen in my entire life.
Speaker 1: We have alsion.
Speaker 5: Between and I understand the prop for the first proposition,
Speaker 5: but what.
Speaker 1: This is a guy blowing up? This is a it's
Speaker 1: it's mine. Below the representation of your options are a
Speaker 1: tiny little happy meal box for McDonald's obviously, and then
Speaker 1: a little garbage pale kid whose head is blowing up
Speaker 1: to show you that something went wrong with the power guys.
Speaker 1: And we're going to need a decision. Where should we
Speaker 1: go to the McDonald's update or to the power company
Speaker 1: failure utility lineman makes a bad move update? All right, Sabrima.
Speaker 5: These are two very very tempting options. Sexy, yes, But
Speaker 5: considering that I know the backstory and I'm not wholly
Speaker 5: interested in the update, I'm gonna go with the.
Speaker 3: Was it garbage bil kid exploding?
Speaker 1: Okay? Utility worker utility worker accident? All right, utility worker accident.
Speaker 4: Well, this is awkward because I choose McDonald's versus Burger.
Speaker 1: Oh, well, guess who's the tiebreaker?
Speaker 12: Me?
Speaker 1: I'm the tiebreaker game, and we're going to the utility
Speaker 1: worker guy who made a big mistake, and i's before
Speaker 1: the break.
Speaker 2: No, no, there's no prizes.
Speaker 3: Held it up like a surprise.
Speaker 1: I know, but nobody gets it. I get to keep
Speaker 1: both of them. There's a little items that stay around here.
Speaker 1: Uh and this says utility worker rushed to the hospital
Speaker 1: after falling from a bucket truck. You guys know what
Speaker 1: those bucket trucks are like when they're fixing the wires overhead,
Speaker 1: and it's like a little crane truck and there's a
Speaker 1: bucket at the end that they.
Speaker 2: Stand into work on things.
Speaker 1: And the Baton Rouge Fire Department in Louisiana says a
Speaker 1: mechanical failure caused a problem and next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: the bucket where the guy was hanging out caught on fire.
Speaker 1: The bucket he was in caught on fire, and somebody
Speaker 1: captured this, oh gosh on video and I didn't even
Speaker 1: know this, but thank god. When they're in those buckets
Speaker 1: on the top of these utility trucks, they're strapped in there.
Speaker 1: So when the utility bucket caught on fire, the guy
Speaker 1: hopped out and he was dangling from the restraints that
Speaker 1: he had, and you could see the whole thing is
Speaker 1: engulfed in flames.
Speaker 4: This is.
Speaker 1: So weird.
Speaker 3: Guy, Why is he moving his legs so much?
Speaker 1: He's just because he's I think he's really heating up
Speaker 1: for from the from the fire there. But can can
Speaker 1: the truck not let him down? Could they not maybe
Speaker 1: that with like lock controls.
Speaker 3: I believe we're in the.
Speaker 1: Bucket, Oh no, are they they're not controls on the
Speaker 1: bottom too. I think there's both well, get down, yeah there.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are probably three or four utility workers
Speaker 1: on the ground, folks, and obviously I'm going to put
Speaker 1: this on see it now for those of you want
Speaker 1: to take a look. But the utility workers on the
Speaker 1: ground aren't like lowering the bucket down, and this poor
Speaker 1: guy is just dangling as the bucket truck is on
Speaker 1: fire from this accident that happened, and then he then
Speaker 1: he ends up dropping. He ends up dropping to the ground.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the story the details on this in
Speaker 1: just a moment, but let me get a snapshot for
Speaker 1: see it now real quick, so everybody can look at
Speaker 1: the visual on this, as per usual on the show,
Speaker 1: if there's something that we are talking about that is
Speaker 1: a visual, and I know you're listening almost all of
Speaker 1: you to the show right now on this fine radio
Speaker 1: station or even podcasts, I want you to be able
Speaker 1: to see when a utility worker bucket accident happens. That's
Speaker 1: how I hide that. I'm typing the title of it
Speaker 1: on See it now in the moment, nobody would have known.
Speaker 1: Just absolutely brilliant stuff on my part. But it's up
Speaker 1: over there so you could take a look and you
Speaker 1: see the predicament that this guy got into. And I'll
Speaker 1: give you the details here in just a second. So
Speaker 1: on the see It Now section of the news Junkie
Speaker 1: app as we look at the story itself, here it is.
Speaker 1: It says person injured after falling from burning bucket truck.
Speaker 1: Officials said. This is from WAFB and they said one
Speaker 1: person was rushed to the hospital after falling from a
Speaker 1: bucket truck that caught fire yesterday. Emergency officials said the
Speaker 1: person was taking to the hospital with serious injuries. According
Speaker 1: to the Baton Rouge Fire Department, a mechanical failure caused
Speaker 1: the fire in the bucket. Then police responded to the
Speaker 1: scene afterwards.
Speaker 4: Didn't we have another bucket truck issue, like a handful
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, did we, like somebody hit one or
Speaker 4: somebody had a thing like that.
Speaker 1: Somebody's saying it caught fire because an electrical wire touched it.
Speaker 2: That's not what they're saying here.
Speaker 1: I mean, it just says that there was a mechanical
Speaker 1: error of some set. Maybe that's what happened. Maybe the
Speaker 1: wire touched and I mean that obviously could be a
Speaker 1: spark of it. Let's see what this says, here's this.
Speaker 1: This is just from the scene afterwards. Hear that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like a camera guy just chit chatting in the background,
Speaker 1: called that to the scene. In the background, the bucket
Speaker 1: truck has been moved to the ground, thankfully. But I
Speaker 1: think what happened was the bucket truck guy, his utility
Speaker 1: bucket truck thing that he's way up in the air
Speaker 1: on catches on fire and then he wants to get
Speaker 1: away from it, so he has these safety harnesses and
Speaker 1: he jumps off and now he's hanging from the bucket truck.
Speaker 1: And when he's hanging from the bucket truck, he also
Speaker 1: has another problem because it's still really hot above him
Speaker 1: and below him. There was a fire down below them too.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a fire on the ground too. So
Speaker 1: this guy is just, you know, it's really in a
Speaker 1: tough spot and we've got to figure out what to
Speaker 1: do with him. So I think he unbuckles himself from
Speaker 1: the harness and drops to the street afterwards in Baton Rouge.
Speaker 1: Just absolutely freak accident. And yeah, I mean there's a
Speaker 1: lot of different stories about this. Here is wb r
Speaker 1: Z talking about this as well. Let's see if they
Speaker 1: have any other details.
Speaker 13: Also breaking, Evangeline Street in North Foster are shutdown at
Speaker 13: this very hour. Crush, a reporter on the scene says
Speaker 13: that it appears that a bucket truck made contact with
Speaker 13: a power line. One person was taken to the hospital,
Speaker 13: but we have not received an update on what their
Speaker 13: condition is. We'll post updates as soon as we get.
Speaker 3: Them into the newsroom.
Speaker 1: All right, everybody's got theories on what happened to this guy,
Speaker 1: but none of the stories that I've seen give any
Speaker 1: sort of confirmation on what happened him afterwards. I hope
Speaker 1: he's okay. I don't know if he's in for a
Speaker 1: payday or not. But if you've got a dangerous like this,
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from you, because I'm not doing
Speaker 1: a dangerous job right now. But man, am I reading
Speaker 1: about him? I see this. I see that there was
Speaker 1: a guy on The Deadliest Catch who show lives up
Speaker 1: to his name. He falls off one of those ships.
Speaker 1: I used to watch that show years and years ago,
Speaker 1: and a guy died on one of those those crap
Speaker 1: boats out there.
Speaker 3: Did you catch anything?
Speaker 2: I hope he got something beforehand.
Speaker 1: But the guy, you know, he was in a terrible
Speaker 1: accident out there and see him fell into the water,
Speaker 1: I guess, and then this guy's out there getting her.
Speaker 1: It just reminds me of how fortunate we are to
Speaker 1: have a pretty, you know, very safe job, I guess
Speaker 1: you would say. But we'll hear from those of you
Speaker 1: not doing one of those today, send a dispatch over
Speaker 1: at thenewsjunkie dot com. All right, we'll save the McDonald's
Speaker 1: story because it is a break through story, just a
Speaker 1: massive banger. Instead, we'll talk about that tiny little story
Speaker 1: over in Iran where they just sunk a battleship. Like
Speaker 1: we're literally sinking ships. It's something that hasn't been done
Speaker 1: in warfare since World War Two, but we're sinking the
Speaker 1: battleships out there. They even have some footage here for
Speaker 1: those of you watching, and I'll put this on seat
Speaker 1: now as well.
Speaker 2: I'm watching.
Speaker 1: All right, there's a battleship, an Iranian battleship on the water.
Speaker 1: As a US submarine takes sight of it, boo blows
Speaker 1: the front completely off of the battleship direct hit. Sunk
Speaker 1: your battleship. Except this is real life. This is a
Speaker 1: real life event that was happening caught on fire afterwards,
Speaker 1: and they sunk to the bottom of the ocean. This
Speaker 1: particular ship, that initial blast from the torpedo I'm imagining,
Speaker 1: is just wild to see.
Speaker 2: And again I'll put this up over on see it now.
Speaker 1: But did it surprise you that we haven't had a
Speaker 1: ship sunk like that since World War Two? And it's
Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor maybe or other parts of World War two.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess throughout World War two. Do do
Speaker 1: a fact check on that ceiling and see what else
Speaker 1: we can find out.
Speaker 5: But so what is the reason why in the sense
Speaker 5: of since then and we just avoided it? Well, people
Speaker 5: engaged in some sort of battle, like we're just gonna
Speaker 5: do with drones or capture the people on the ship.
Speaker 5: Why was the decision made for this to just completely
Speaker 5: sink it?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, obviously, I know when you
Speaker 1: face off in a war and they see the ship
Speaker 1: and the ship is by the sub there and there
Speaker 1: the US is at war with Iran, they're like, well,
Speaker 1: it's not us for them, so we're gonna do this.
Speaker 1: But why hasn't that happened? We've all the wars we've
Speaker 1: seen recently have been ground wars mostly or air wars.
Speaker 1: And here we are, because Iran is nestled into an
Speaker 1: area with actually some some waterways and oceans where the
Speaker 1: naval ships can go and battle each other. Maybe we're
Speaker 1: going to see more of this crazy Though.
Speaker 4: Dag Millionaire said they didn't use subs in Pearl Harbor,
Speaker 4: I know that I don't think we're limiting to the
Speaker 4: use of just submarines in this situation. I mean, I
Speaker 4: know that the video we showed was you know, it
Speaker 4: was another ship, but the last battleship sunk in combat
Speaker 4: were all Japanese ships.
Speaker 1: The Haruna and the Huga.
Speaker 4: When was that, Well, you're both destroyed by US aircraft
Speaker 4: on July twenty eighth, nineteen forty five, at Cure, Japan.
Speaker 4: Last battleship destroyed by another battleship eighty years ago was
Speaker 4: the Kirishima on November fifteenth, nineteen forty two.
Speaker 1: You know what, The thing about that that you might
Speaker 1: not consider, that that comes to my mind immediately is
Speaker 1: if you're the parent of somebody in the Armed Forces,
Speaker 1: let's say from our perspective, in the you know, the
Speaker 1: US Armed Forces, and they're deployed on a ship somewhere.
Speaker 1: This means you have had the peace of mind of
Speaker 1: thinking that they've been relatively safe because there hasn't been
Speaker 1: ship to ship or sub the ship combat like this
Speaker 1: right in a very long time. And now they're shooting
Speaker 1: down ships, they're bombing ships, they're using subs to take
Speaker 1: down this Iranian ship and various other ships in their
Speaker 1: their naval fleet. And so obviously that means this is
Speaker 1: open for the inverse of this to happen. I imagine
Speaker 1: a lot of parents who have kids that are deployed
Speaker 1: and on one of these ships are feeling that, oh boy,
Speaker 1: that's a big change right there. In fact, I see
Speaker 1: some people on chat talking about this exact situation. The
Speaker 1: deployment on these ships is no longer as safe even
Speaker 1: though you're you know, you're in an active military zone
Speaker 1: no matter what, but not as much as it would
Speaker 1: have been. And with that, let's take a look at
Speaker 1: they've released the names and identities of the four US
Speaker 1: soldiers killed in the attack on Kuwait. Always good to
Speaker 1: put a story behind the people that you lose in
Speaker 1: situations like this. Three men, one women who died at
Speaker 1: this place in Kuwait. They're going to look into this more.
Speaker 1: I've heard that maybe the place they were staying wasn't
Speaker 1: fortified as much as it should have been, and there's
Speaker 1: some questions about why exactly they were there. But these
Speaker 1: are the four soldiers that they've announced were lost, and
Speaker 1: they also told some information about them in some of
Speaker 1: these stories.
Speaker 3: So one of them was from central Florida.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of them was. Yeah, one of them absolutely was.
Speaker 1: And their names are Captain Cody Cork thirty five of
Speaker 1: winter Haven, Florida, Sergeant first class Noah Teachin's forty two
Speaker 1: of Bellevue, Nebraska, Sergeant decland Cody twenty of West des Moines, Iowa,
Speaker 1: who was posthumously promoted from specialists. And there was one
Speaker 1: more who was a Nicole Amore, Nicole Amore, Sergeant first
Speaker 1: class Nicole Amore, who was Oh god, damn man. Hate
Speaker 1: hate factoids like this. It makes things real, which is important,
Speaker 1: you know, it's important that we understand what's going on here.
Speaker 1: The casualties on the US side are incredibly low so far,
Speaker 1: but you know, remember there are people involved here. This
Speaker 1: woman that you can see if you're watching on the
Speaker 1: stream a more. The tidbit about her that they put
Speaker 1: in the Associated Press article was Sergeant first class Nicola
Speaker 1: Moore was just days away from returning home to her
Speaker 1: husband and two children when a drone strike at a
Speaker 1: command center in Kuwait killed her and five other US
Speaker 1: service members. She was almost home, her husband, Joey Amore said,
Speaker 1: from their home in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. You don't
Speaker 1: go to Kuwait thinking something's going to happen, and for
Speaker 1: her to be one of the first, it hurts, he says.
Speaker 1: Amore was one of the first of four US soldiers
Speaker 1: killed in the Iran War on Sunday and identified yesterday
Speaker 1: by the Pentagon. But those are the people behind the
Speaker 1: numbers that you're hearing so far. Let us know your
Speaker 1: thoughts on all of this. Supports, don't support all of
Speaker 1: that good stuff. How are you feeling about this so far?
Speaker 1: This is a place not only where we talk about
Speaker 1: everything happening viral in the news, but how you feel
Speaker 1: about it. And I've got a video that's going viral
Speaker 1: right now from somebody who is a wife of a soldier,
Speaker 1: and they have some opinions, and I think they're interesting,
Speaker 1: and I want to talk about where that's coming from.
Speaker 1: I'll let you hear that viral video that's popping off
Speaker 1: right now, and you can decide what you think about it,
Speaker 1: because that is coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 1: One thing that's got a lot of people talking is
Speaker 1: a woman made a video and it's the wife of
Speaker 1: a member of the US military.
Speaker 2: And obviously, you know, like there's.
Speaker 1: A war going on in Iran with Israel, and Iran
Speaker 1: is bombing everybody around them, and you know, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff happening on that front. And this woman,
Speaker 1: who is the wife of a member of the US
Speaker 1: military who's deployed in the Middle East, she went on
Speaker 1: TMZ and was complaining about this. She was complaining about
Speaker 1: the war, she was complaining about her husband being involved
Speaker 1: in the war, and she was making things pretty political,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people were pushing back on that.
Speaker 1: In fact, I see it in the post here that
Speaker 1: has almost a million views that I'm looking at. It
Speaker 1: literally calls it shameful and inappropriate that this woman who's
Speaker 1: the wife of a member of the US military who's
Speaker 1: allegedly over in the Middle East somewhere right now, is
Speaker 1: complaining about it. And I'll play the clip for you
Speaker 1: first and tell me what you think. And just like
Speaker 1: generally speaking, a lot of people get upset. They're like, Wow,
Speaker 1: you're a wife of a service member. You should not
Speaker 1: be talking bad about the active conflict that's going on.
Speaker 1: You should not be doing this, which I don't understand
Speaker 1: because honestly, I think anybody who's got actual skin in
Speaker 1: the game, those are the only people I really care
Speaker 1: about having any opinion on this. It doesn't sway me
Speaker 1: much because something is either right or it is wrong.
Speaker 1: It's not wrong because the wife of a soldier told
Speaker 1: me it was wrong. It's not wrong because this woman
Speaker 1: who could lose her husband said it was wrong. It's
Speaker 1: wrong because it's wrong, or it's right because it's right.
Speaker 1: It really doesn't sway me either way. But as far
Speaker 1: as people having opinions on this, shouldn't I care more
Speaker 1: about the person who has a loved one in the
Speaker 1: war zone than like some weirdo online like or some
Speaker 1: like warhawk who's never fought in a war or sacrificed
Speaker 1: at all in their life. Like for me, I think
Speaker 1: their voice would be at least the one that you
Speaker 1: would go, Okay, she's got some feelings. Maybe she's making
Speaker 1: it political, but whatever, at least she's connected to this.
Speaker 14: So here she is, let's listen to She's also not
Speaker 14: and I will say, more than any other decision that
Speaker 14: any commander in chief has made.
Speaker 1: In his entirety being in.
Speaker 14: The military, more service members are being vocally upset about
Speaker 14: this than we've ever seen before. But it is very
Speaker 14: obvious to a lot of service members and a lot
Speaker 14: of military families that this has nothing to do with
Speaker 14: protecting Americans. This has everything to do with distracting from
Speaker 14: this administration's dismal performance at home. And what we aren't
Speaker 14: okay with, what my husband isn't okay with, is risking
Speaker 14: their lives to serve that distraction.
Speaker 1: Okay, So there she is. This is the vera. She's
Speaker 1: on TMZ. I don't know why TMZ connects with this lady,
Speaker 1: but whatever she's on TMZ, she's got every right freem
Speaker 1: of speech to say whatever she's want wants. The only
Speaker 1: thing I do take issue with in this is you
Speaker 1: got to stop speaking for other people. Speak for yourself.
Speaker 1: If you want to speak for your husband, I think
Speaker 1: people will be okay with that. But when you start
Speaker 1: to say, like what I'm saying is representing a majority opinion,
Speaker 1: basically like, I've never seen this many people coming forward
Speaker 1: and speaking out against the war. I've never seen X,
Speaker 1: Y and Z. So she's kind of like, in a way,
Speaker 1: using her and how her husband allegedly feels to kind
Speaker 1: of represent a larger movement within the military, which may
Speaker 1: or may not be true. We didn't have to sort
Speaker 1: that out. What I'm saying is, if you're going to
Speaker 1: do this, I think generally speaking, you should speak for yourself.
Speaker 1: You should say here's how I feel about this, here's
Speaker 1: how my husband feels about this, and not go any
Speaker 1: further out than that.
Speaker 5: But I mean, also, if he's out there and now
Speaker 5: is going mega viral, are you not considering what it's
Speaker 5: going to be like for him, what all his buddies
Speaker 5: find out what his wife's doing back in the States.
Speaker 1: Well, if she's right, I guess it would matter, because
Speaker 1: she's claiming like him and all his buddies are against
Speaker 1: this and like her. Her argument is that they all
Speaker 1: sort of feel this same way, which again I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's true. She's speaking on behalf of a
Speaker 1: bunch of people who she probably don't even really know
Speaker 1: their opinions. But otherwise it's like I guess, I guess
Speaker 1: that's true. It could make the person a target, although
Speaker 1: I don't know why Iran would want to target somebody
Speaker 1: who's kind of helping them out in the propaganda war.
Speaker 1: She goes out with her name. She says, I'm Kendall Brown.
Speaker 1: She says, I'm upset. My husband's upset about this attack
Speaker 1: on Iran, and it's called shameful and inappropriate, and people
Speaker 1: just generally speaking are kind of crapping on her. Now
Speaker 1: there's some people defending this, which I think is the
Speaker 1: right move. Somebody says, what's shameful about this? It's free speech.
Speaker 1: We're literally in a war because most of us voted
Speaker 1: for Trump because he promised he wouldn't be there wouldn't
Speaker 1: be any more wars. And then the person who posts
Speaker 1: this responded, you're missing the point completely. Regardless of one's
Speaker 1: opinion of the war, a service member's wife shouldn't be
Speaker 1: going on TMZ to share his opinions for millions to see,
Speaker 1: and now he will probably be in trouble. Another com
Speaker 1: military families are allowed to be scared when your spouse
Speaker 1: is deployed in a war zone. Politics hits different. It's
Speaker 1: not just headlines it's your real life, which I tend
Speaker 1: to side with that. I think that's scared.
Speaker 3: Yes, But she's coming off like she's annoyed.
Speaker 1: She's coming off as she's fully not supporting her, and
Speaker 1: she's she's not supporting the reasoning behind it more than anything.
Speaker 1: She's she says, we think this is like a wag
Speaker 1: the dog situation, which if you don't know what that is,
Speaker 1: it's a distraction, like a president's not doing well, so
Speaker 1: you start a war. And she's saying the reasoning for
Speaker 1: it is, we're not supportive of this at all, is it?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 1: They're saying, like, think about what her husband getting in trouble?
Speaker 1: Is that allowed? Like could he like legally face retaliation
Speaker 1: for some stuff that she says?
Speaker 15: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I would think unless it's like privileged information, now that
Speaker 4: would be something he would get in trouble for. But
Speaker 4: if it's just her speaking her mind, she did kind
Speaker 4: of speak for him, but you know, maybe that's maybe
Speaker 4: that would factor in. But I think, like, wouldn't it
Speaker 4: be a violation of her free speech if he was
Speaker 4: to be punished for what was in the video?
Speaker 1: Maybe to piggyback onto that Selean and Eddie says, the
Speaker 1: free speech argument is for those ignorant and military standards.
Speaker 1: So I'm willing to defer to somebody who's been in
Speaker 1: the military and who's an expert on a topic like this,
Speaker 1: where you know, I don't know, I'm willing to defer
Speaker 1: to that. I'll ask her she's not in the military.
Speaker 1: She's not in the military, so she can say whatever
Speaker 1: she wants. As far as I'm aware, I don't see
Speaker 1: anything that would restrict the family member of a service
Speaker 1: person from saying whether they agree or disagree with the
Speaker 1: war that that their family member is engaged in. That
Speaker 1: would be anti free speech. I don't know about if
Speaker 1: you are a soldier, if you're allowed to do this,
Speaker 1: Like there could be rules against a soldier posting on
Speaker 1: TikTok and be like I'm over here and Iran, what
Speaker 1: the hell get me out of here? Like I could
Speaker 1: see that that would be something that maybe you couldn't do.
Speaker 1: But this is the wife of a well. She says
Speaker 1: that she's a wife of a member of the US
Speaker 1: military who's deployed in the Middle East, and she's complaining
Speaker 1: that her and her husband are upset about this. The
Speaker 1: only issue I really take is that she's acting like
Speaker 1: she's speaking for more people than her and her husband.
Speaker 2: You have the right to have an opinion.
Speaker 1: You have more skin in the game than any of
Speaker 1: these losers on x dot com or any social media platform.
Speaker 1: You have the right to have an opinion about this.
Speaker 1: I might agree with your opinion or disagree with your opinion,
Speaker 1: but this is sort of the economy of opinions that
Speaker 1: many of us have lost. And I hope I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about you, but I might be. This is the
Speaker 1: economy of opinions that we have lost. Where you should go.
Speaker 1: All right, I disagree with that person, but I mean,
Speaker 1: her husband's serving in the Middle East right now, I
Speaker 1: can understand why she might have opinions about this. The
Speaker 1: alternative to that is that we just go around and
Speaker 1: whip all these service members families and make them have
Speaker 1: the same opinion. I'm the one against pushing people socially
Speaker 1: or otherwise to have the same opinion. Different opinions are okay,
Speaker 1: especially somebody with skin in the game like this.
Speaker 2: So I want to know what everybody I disagree.
Speaker 15: Get out of here.
Speaker 2: I want to know what everybody thinks about this.
Speaker 1: Doug says military spouses are not military, no matter how
Speaker 1: much they try to say they make the sacrifice too. Soldiers,
Speaker 1: says Eddie following up, are definitely not allowed. Some idiots
Speaker 1: do it anyway. A zeph speaker Zephas Spiker rather on
Speaker 1: YouTube speaking now says, join the military and lose rights
Speaker 1: like free speech that you're in there fighting for in
Speaker 1: the first place. Yeah, I mean, yes, yes, a little
Speaker 1: bit like if you are a soldier in the military,
Speaker 1: you are.
Speaker 2: Going to lose rights, You are going to lose things
Speaker 2: afforded to you.
Speaker 1: Otherwise, you can't say freedom of speech for every soldier
Speaker 1: because that doesn't work in war. You can't like, oh,
Speaker 1: all of them should be able to have cell phones
Speaker 1: and post their own personal opinions to TikTok. That would
Speaker 1: be a propaganda gold mine for every enemy that we
Speaker 1: ever have. As if we don't have enough of those
Speaker 1: for people because of the discourse in the United States
Speaker 1: of America, that would be a problem. But the family
Speaker 1: members say your piece, man, say however you feel, do
Speaker 1: your thing. You got feelings on this, Your husband might
Speaker 1: not come back. We just heard from the first four
Speaker 1: people that they announced that were in Kuwait in this
Speaker 1: place that died. We heard that one of the women,
Speaker 1: the husband was upset because she was just about to
Speaker 1: come back in a matter of days and she was
Speaker 1: in Kuwait and he didn't think she was in any
Speaker 1: danger and she has a kid and so she didn't
Speaker 1: get so like those people are allowed to be mad,
Speaker 1: They're allowed to be upset. But I do want to
Speaker 1: see what you think about this. Send a dispatch over
Speaker 1: at thenewschunki dot com or email this show tips at
Speaker 1: the news junky dot com. Run behind quick break when
Speaker 1: we come back. I have a question about something they
Speaker 1: sell at gas stations and this is a weird one.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of this products, but you have to
Speaker 1: stay away from it otherwise there will be big, big problems.
Speaker 1: What's going on that's coming up next on the news Junkie.
Speaker 1: I have a question for you. The question is this,
Speaker 1: have you ever, in your entire life purchase any pills
Speaker 1: or potion from gas stations? And I asked you this
Speaker 1: question because there is a news story related to this,
Speaker 1: which we'll get into and we'll get back to serious
Speaker 1: stuff and everything else going on in the world of
Speaker 1: viral news. But right now, a bit of a side
Speaker 1: quest here, and when I said to chat during the break,
Speaker 1: have you ever bought a pill or potion that they
Speaker 1: sell at gas stations? You guys, a shocking amount of
Speaker 1: people have purchased one of these things from these gas stations.
Speaker 1: In our chat right now, I said, what have you bought?
Speaker 1: If you bought it, they're saying stackers, rhino pills. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of them are actually sabrina. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then a horny goat weed is one of the things
Speaker 1: that they heard of, Harney goat weed. Yeah, but have
Speaker 1: you ever bought or or taken anything from the gas
Speaker 1: station like that?
Speaker 7: Me either? No.
Speaker 1: I think the.
Speaker 4: Closest thing that I've like bought from a gas station
Speaker 4: that would be in the realm of some of the
Speaker 4: things they sell there that I kind of am sketch
Speaker 4: about is like the old five hour energy drinks.
Speaker 1: That I've done, but I don't count that really that
Speaker 1: feels to mainstream. It's but it's like it's in that
Speaker 1: same section of the gas station. It's I mean, they're pretty.
Speaker 7: Close to the Horney goat weed.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't counters like this.
Speaker 1: Somebody had chat says, I bought some advil from wah
Speaker 1: Wah ones. That's not what I'm talking about. The pills
Speaker 1: and potions that are from these sort of nefarious mostly
Speaker 1: Chinese companies. Some of you were saying, kreat them, Spanish fly.
Speaker 1: You guys have done these things something K no no
Speaker 1: spice K two K two. Somebody says, I've never purchased
Speaker 1: anything like that. That they sell these like little nefarious
Speaker 1: pills and potions at the gas station. But there's a
Speaker 1: lot out there. And I saw one in the news
Speaker 1: today and I go, well, I don't know what you expected.
Speaker 1: I I I don't know what you expected. Here's the
Speaker 1: very real story in front of me for those you
Speaker 1: watching on YouTube dot com. Slash the news job. It
Speaker 1: says in the in the headline, chocolate syrup boner bears
Speaker 1: has been recalled nationwide due to a hidden drug. And
Speaker 1: I mean, some of you out there are buying boner
Speaker 1: bears here and it's a chocolate syrup. What is that
Speaker 1: like you having dessert beforehand and you put a little
Speaker 1: on there and then oh okay after or is this
Speaker 1: during you put the chocolate syrup on your partner. I
Speaker 1: am thrown by.
Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever seen an FDA warning against
Speaker 5: any of those gas station things.
Speaker 7: No me either.
Speaker 3: What does that say about?
Speaker 5: Are we in a good place now that the FDA
Speaker 5: is looking out for us for realsy's or this is
Speaker 5: so bad the FDA decided to make a public statement.
Speaker 1: Let's see chocolate syrup boner bears recalled nationwide. It says
Speaker 1: because it contains a male sexual enhancement drug. Well, I
Speaker 1: would imagine, yeah, but one not's not listed on its
Speaker 1: product label. The story from Picks eleven in New York
Speaker 1: City says Lockout Supplements of Texas issued a voluntary recall
Speaker 1: because the product contains and sildenafil so dentifil, commonly known
Speaker 1: by its brand name viagra, But the real viagra in
Speaker 1: this stuff now is often used to treat a rectile dysfunction.
Speaker 1: FDA approval of VIAGRAA is restricted to use under the
Speaker 1: supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. So they're basically selling
Speaker 1: seldentifhil without a prescription. Yeah, yeah, you just buy this stuff.
Speaker 1: FDA approval of VIAGRAA is restricted to you and your
Speaker 1: doctor and you get a prescription for it. But this
Speaker 1: is something that you could just go buy at like
Speaker 1: a grocery store or like a gas station.
Speaker 5: So is the FDA mad because they didn't approve of
Speaker 5: the same exact thing that they approved prescription.
Speaker 1: Wise, the FBA FDA is mad because you're not supposed
Speaker 1: to be able to access this thing without a medical prescription, right,
Speaker 1: And the company just went and took it and put
Speaker 1: it in a product called Boner Bears, which I'm looking
Speaker 1: at right now, an accurate name. It's got two bears,
Speaker 1: one on top of the other bears you might imagine,
Speaker 1: and and single dose. It does say eighteen plus. Why
Speaker 1: is it explain this to me? You can buy gas
Speaker 1: station pills that contain well, gas station potion in this case,
Speaker 1: chocolate syrup that contains medicine in it, that contains something
Speaker 1: you're supposed to have a prescription for, and it has
Speaker 1: cartoons on it. But vapes can't use any kind of
Speaker 1: cartoons in them, or are there?
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the argument has made that they
Speaker 4: were doing this on the fly against the will of
Speaker 4: the FDA, same thing as vapes would.
Speaker 1: Across the board. Well, this is like a real Texas
Speaker 1: company that made it. Though customers who believe it may
Speaker 1: purchase the item are yeah, that's true, are encouraged. Well,
Speaker 1: some of them are made in the United States are
Speaker 1: encouraged to contact their physician or healthcare provider. Lockout Supplements
Speaker 1: is notifying customers who may have purchased them. I have
Speaker 1: never heard of this stuff. Let me see, can you
Speaker 1: just buy this online? It's all gonna be stories about
Speaker 1: it being recalled now from the FDA.
Speaker 5: I would guess radio DJ dies, I'm trying Boner Bear.
Speaker 1: Boner Bears syrup recalled for actually containing Oh here's the
Speaker 1: FDA post on their website for this. The FDA's actual
Speaker 1: website says all the same stuff and it's got the
Speaker 1: packaging says three doses fast acting max strength. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much this stuff sold for at a gas station,
Speaker 1: but instead of getting stuff from your doctor, you could
Speaker 1: have just gone right to the little Quickie Maart on
Speaker 1: the corner and got your your pills in chocolate syrup form.
Speaker 1: I am just amazed that there is a marketplace for this,
Speaker 1: These black beauty's, these what do people say, rhino pills
Speaker 1: or horny goat weed or stackers or whatever. I'm so
Speaker 1: amazed that there's such a solid crowd of you who
Speaker 1: have tried these things out before. I would be hesitant
Speaker 1: to ever try anything like that. Message over on twitch. OMG,
Speaker 1: I took the rhino pill one time. I was at
Speaker 1: a stand for hours. She was on her period. That
Speaker 1: backfired on me so bad. I would never try it again.
Speaker 1: I had a headache and my heart was racing for
Speaker 1: four hours. Lol, My god. Folks, I don't know why
Speaker 1: you guys take this, but if you do, if you

Speaker 1: I trained to go to Kuwait for the same mission
Speaker 1: that those four deceased Army soldiers were supporting. Ultimately, I
Speaker 1: did not go because of family issues within the Army reserve.
Speaker 1: Kuwait has long been almost a joke as compared with
Speaker 1: other locations like Syria or Djibouti. There's actually a Chili's
Speaker 1: on one of those bases, but there was always an
Speaker 1: awareness that if something went down with Iran, things would
Speaker 1: get hot very quickly, very interesting. Anonymous, thank you for
Speaker 1: the email. I appreciate that you can join us as well,
Speaker 1: Tips at the Newsjunkie dot com, Tips at the news
Speaker 1: Junkie dot com or record one of those dispatches I
Speaker 1: was talking about. Let me refresh to see what we
Speaker 1: have here. Here is Flip talking about their son is
Speaker 1: currently deployed. And this is all coming up because a
Speaker 1: woman was on TMZ saying that she's against the war
Speaker 1: and her husband who's deployed, he is against the war,
Speaker 1: and people were mad at her for saying this stuff.
Speaker 2: But here's flip.
Speaker 1: Let's listen, A.
Speaker 16: Mapp keeps crashing every time I go to send this. Anyways,
Speaker 16: I have emailed as anonymous in the past, and I'm
Speaker 16: done doing that. My son is currently deployed over there. Okay,
Speaker 16: I'm not going to say exactly where, but currently his
Speaker 16: base has drone attacks and missile attacks upwards of a
Speaker 16: dozen or more times a day that get through the
Speaker 16: missile defense system. He is in a constant state of
Speaker 16: running back and forth to do his job, and then
Speaker 16: running for the bunker, and then going back out when
Speaker 16: they get it all clear to do his job for
Speaker 16: another fifteen minutes, and running back for the bunker.
Speaker 6: Damn.
Speaker 16: The first missiles that hit their base took out their
Speaker 16: childhaul and they were out of food for twenty four
Speaker 16: hours before they had MRI's available to them. Him and
Speaker 16: his crew have not showered since this whole thing started,
Speaker 16: since before this whole thing started. Not that that's a
Speaker 16: big deal, but that does bring a little normalcy to
Speaker 16: your life when you're involved in all this.
Speaker 1: No, of course, like all of these things, this is
Speaker 1: a different world from just getting news alerts and stuff.
Speaker 1: And now being a parent where your son is over there,
Speaker 1: he's in Kuay. You already know that this is a
Speaker 1: place where things can get deadly. And sure that's a
Speaker 1: small issue, not being able to take a shower, But
Speaker 1: the alarms, all of the raids, all of the things
Speaker 1: where you've got to go run and hide to protect yourself,
Speaker 1: those are the things that add up to all of this.
Speaker 1: So I want to hear more from you. Let's go
Speaker 1: back to the dispatch.
Speaker 16: And I don't believe this lady is speaking for people
Speaker 16: who have not already spoken up. She's probably in a
Speaker 16: few support groups like my family is with people being deployed,
Speaker 16: and the overwhelming majority of the people that we've talked
Speaker 16: to are not happy with the explanations that we're getting
Speaker 16: as to why we're there. There's fifty different people saying
Speaker 16: fifty different reasons why we're there, and that's unacceptable.
Speaker 1: We truly support our troops.
Speaker 16: And our families, and we also support the fact that
Speaker 16: Iranians should be free of dictatorship and that beautiful country
Speaker 16: should be stupid text that should be available for people
Speaker 16: to go to whenever they please and should be out
Speaker 16: of this you know, oppressive regime.
Speaker 1: So there's that.
Speaker 16: Yeah, so yeah, it's pretty difficult to hear all this
Speaker 16: back and forth with people when those of us who
Speaker 16: are able to FaceTime and WhatsApp our families, when you
Speaker 16: see them all of a sudden look up in the air,
Speaker 16: run for the bunkers as they're hanging up, yelling out
Speaker 16: that they love you.
Speaker 1: As they're running.
Speaker 16: I just I have very little tolerance for any of
Speaker 16: this stuff.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the dispatch.
Speaker 5: For dispatch an interesting perspective that kind of change how
Speaker 5: I feel about this Lady's TMC thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think these people should be able
Speaker 1: to speak out and say whatever they want to say.
Speaker 1: If you've got a kid over there, if you've got
Speaker 1: a husband over there, the idea that someone would hold
Speaker 1: you back from saying your opinion. But some idiot on
Speaker 1: Twitter can be like, I actually think that that's the
Speaker 1: ANTIPA has nothing to lose from this, No nothing, no
Speaker 1: skin in the game, no nothing. Again, it doesn't sway
Speaker 1: me either way because something is either right or it
Speaker 1: is wrong. It is not right because somebody hits you
Speaker 1: with an emotional argument about it. It is either right
Speaker 1: or it is wrong, but it is right in my
Speaker 1: estimation to fight for people's ability to be able to
Speaker 1: say things like that. In another direction, here's g Giddons
Speaker 1: with a dispatch, Hello.
Speaker 9: Good morning, God just won If y'all got a problem
Speaker 9: with the US thinking a battleship, seems like you have
Speaker 9: a problem a way y'all talking?
Speaker 5: What's the issue?
Speaker 1: Some war sink? You have a great day. That's the
Speaker 1: way it goes, mus day, Bye bye, thank you.
Speaker 2: Jiggins.
Speaker 1: Do I have a problem that people singing ships and warn't?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 2: I think I said as much.
Speaker 1: I said, either you get sunk or you sink somebody
Speaker 1: else when you're facing off in the ocean. I do
Speaker 1: think it's super interesting, which is why I went in
Speaker 1: that direction that no battleship like that had been sunk
Speaker 1: in active war, and I think Seiland said eighty years
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, And then somebody I think uh corrected
Speaker 1: us and said that that I've been seeing battleship everywhere.
Speaker 1: Somebody said that that was a frigate. It was much
Speaker 1: smaller than an actual battleship. But I think we're missing
Speaker 1: the point.
Speaker 3: Well, it sounds like both of you guys are not
Speaker 3: pleased with that, So let's deal with that.
Speaker 17: Huh uh.
Speaker 1: All right, let me see. This is from the BBC
Speaker 1: and it says warship. It's thought one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: people were on board. Here's the name of it. It's
Speaker 1: called the Iris Denna Iris Space DNA. So that's the
Speaker 1: ship in question that we were talking about. I called
Speaker 1: it a warship because that's what a lot of the
Speaker 1: reports had called it. But let's see if Rando text
Speaker 1: was the correct one on this. It's a mooge class frigate,
Speaker 1: so it is okay, But is a frigate a warship?
Speaker 1: Is this person parsing wards is a type of warship? Yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so that warship is still the correct I feel like
Speaker 1: he was saying battleship is the bigger one. I've sang
Speaker 1: battleship much more so because sunk your battleship is a
Speaker 1: common phrase that people use in America. Yeah, out a
Speaker 1: kount of the game and all that. That's why I'm
Speaker 1: saying the battleship front. But warship is more what I
Speaker 1: would use I think in a situation like that, mostly
Speaker 1: because we're in the business of speaking to people, and
Speaker 1: just so you know, person who sent that text message
Speaker 1: in or anybody else who said this. The audience doesn't
Speaker 1: know what a frigate is. They don't They don't have
Speaker 1: any clue what that is. So either you say and
Speaker 1: then explain it. Still, the best move is just to
Speaker 1: use words that people understand. Sunk the ship, you know,
Speaker 1: sunk the warship, right, That is the best way to
Speaker 1: handle it, I think. But actually a bunch of loose
Speaker 1: lips at it. Here's a I regret to play this
Speaker 1: for you before I even hit play, but here's all
Speaker 1: day yuckers with a video dispatch. It says Sean has
Speaker 1: been practicing. Oh okay, hold on, I'll stop. Hang on.
Speaker 1: What am I wearing?
Speaker 6: You?
Speaker 4: I you look like you're about to bust up. I
Speaker 4: have a structured settlement, does not need class I wear
Speaker 4: I have. I look like like how to train your
Speaker 4: dragon or something. I've got a shield. I've got long
Speaker 4: pigtails a.
Speaker 5: Result of Game of Thrones brother and sister banging each
Speaker 5: other and av.
Speaker 1: Possibly I have horns on my hat. I'm like a
Speaker 1: warrior of swords the glory of the ancient. I hate you,
Speaker 1: but it's your freedom of speech to be able to
Speaker 1: send in dispatches. I guess is that God? I hate
Speaker 1: defending the freedom of speech. No, it's attacking me of
Speaker 1: the ancient I was the first part. The first part
Speaker 1: is me saying, and the second part I don't know
Speaker 1: what that don't know what that is. But Derek Sean
Speaker 1: prides himself on never seeing commercials in his life. But
Speaker 1: me describing you as J. G. Wentworth from the Viking
Speaker 1: Operation a GI spot on. Yeah, do you have a
Speaker 1: comparison or just just in people's heads?
Speaker 6: You?
Speaker 1: I mean, you would have to, you'd have to google
Speaker 1: it so you could watch it yourself.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll watch it during the break and try to
Speaker 2: catch up.
Speaker 1: But everybody else, you're.
Speaker 3: Not a million he's gonna forget.
Speaker 1: How to train your Viking. Yeah sure, sure, Okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: hear from you a lot. Do you have opinions on
Speaker 1: things we're talking about? That's one of the points of
Speaker 1: the show. We talk about everything happening, viral things, things
Speaker 1: that are on people's minds, and then you get to
Speaker 1: join in on the conversation. We also have the next
Speaker 1: episode coming up in just a bit, A California Math
Speaker 1: teacher in big trouble. I'll tell you the questions that
Speaker 1: got this guy in hot water that is coming up
Speaker 1: next on the News Junkie. We'll get into this story
Speaker 1: about a teacher in trouble for some of the questions
Speaker 1: that they had on in a quiz, and i'll read
Speaker 1: the question story. You could tell me if you think
Speaker 1: they were bad or not. We'll get into that momentarily.
Speaker 1: But I've had a sort of a side quest going
Speaker 1: on here where I've been very interested in the burger
Speaker 1: wars that have been drummed back up on accident. You know,
Speaker 1: before they were purposely going at each other all the
Speaker 1: burger company, he's going bananas. Now it's on accident, and
Speaker 1: it's run by a bunch of weirdos. Every company that
Speaker 1: you could imagine. McDonald's their CEO, who makes eight eighteen
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. I hear he can't even take
Speaker 1: a big bite of a burger. He takes such a
Speaker 1: small bite of a burger in the video that he
Speaker 1: made promoting the new McDonald's burger that it goes viral
Speaker 1: because he takes that like a little, tiny, little bite
Speaker 1: of a burger. And now McDonald's is kind of spiraling
Speaker 1: because this guy's weird and people think he's strange. And
Speaker 1: then the Burger King CEO who pretended to give out
Speaker 1: his phone number but lied to everybody last week that
Speaker 1: we pointed out on the show. He came out and
Speaker 1: he's like, here's how you take a big bite of
Speaker 1: a burger, and he enough time to do that. His
Speaker 1: phone should have been ringing off the hook. Yeah. Really,
Speaker 1: just with all those calls coming in, including from us,
Speaker 1: and now the heat is on, Like this really has
Speaker 1: spun up into something that's getting some traction. Cleveland dot
Speaker 1: com as an article today where they're crapping on the
Speaker 1: new McDonald's burger, the Big Arch, and they said, I
Speaker 1: tried McDonald's massive, new big archburger and stopped after three bytes.
Speaker 4: How three normal sized bites or three CEO sized bites,
Speaker 4: three little nibbles and little tiny little nibbles.
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you real people, if you've
Speaker 2: tried this thing, Is it good?
Speaker 1: Is it bad? Etcetera, etcetera. Because I don't care what
Speaker 1: somebody from a newspaper website size.
Speaker 4: I will say that McDonald's, at least their marketing team
Speaker 4: is kind of leaning into this unexpected pr Yeah, because
Speaker 4: on the McDonald's Facebook page yesterday they just posted a
Speaker 4: thing like a picture of the big arch and it
Speaker 4: just says, take a bite of our new product.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then they just let the comments section roll. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh you see it all right? You got They knew it,
Speaker 1: They knew what they were getting into. They posted this
Speaker 1: new product that the CEO of McDonald's going virabl for
Speaker 1: because he took a little baby bite, like a pussy
Speaker 1: out of this burger, like he doesn't like it, like
Speaker 1: he hates his own food. And instead of calling something
Speaker 1: a burger, he called it a product. McDonald's post to
Speaker 1: take a bite of our new product, and then just
Speaker 1: posted a photo. And the replies are number one, I
Speaker 1: see you king Report of the week because he took
Speaker 1: an actual bite out of the burger when he tested
Speaker 1: it out. That's a reviewer that I actually salute and
Speaker 1: care about. He's out there somewhere Report of the week.
Speaker 1: Salute you, buddy. Mentally talented and skilled reviewer, probably the
Speaker 1: best out there in my humble opinion, and everybody else
Speaker 1: doodles a cryptocurrency accounts on the Facebook.
Speaker 4: Somebody commented just a nimble though, like the CEO and
Speaker 4: McDonald's responded, no judgment here, like they're they're going through
Speaker 4: and responding to a bunch of it. Didn't you have
Speaker 4: a weird Didn't he hold it weird? Because somebody said,
Speaker 4: I can't. I don't even know how to hold it?
Speaker 4: McDonald's two hands preferred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had like inverted an upside down like this
Speaker 1: guy had never eaten a burger in his life.
Speaker 4: They're using this SpongeBob like a mom's sure smoking a
Speaker 4: cigarette and holding it weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the people photoshopping just a bite out of the
Speaker 1: bun like the burger entirely. The whole thing is a
Speaker 1: freeze frame of the time bite. It's so great. They're
Speaker 1: all viral because this guy is a weirdo who is
Speaker 1: in charge of their entire company and nickel back look
Speaker 1: at this photograph meme. You know everything's coming to the
Speaker 1: show and they are surfacing more of the CEO of
Speaker 1: McDonald's of his videos. Kiri is another time talking about
Speaker 1: like product. He talks about burgers in a weird way. Bro,
Speaker 1: you make eighteen mil to sell Hamburgers. Here's how you
Speaker 1: do it, guys. I'm the CEO of McDonald's. I love burgers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try this juicy ass cheeseburger that we make.
Speaker 1: You take a big ass bite, you have a smile
Speaker 1: on your face, and you go, Damn, that is a
Speaker 1: good cheeseburger. Talk about a normal person.
Speaker 3: I'm getting lizard vibes.
Speaker 4: A lot of comments in the Facebook one about the
Speaker 4: word product, like somebody said when life gives you product,
Speaker 4: which I thought was kind of funny, but also the
Speaker 4: one that is a little annoying to see is the
Speaker 4: one where you turn the fact that he said product
Speaker 4: into a conspiracy case. In point Totaya says product means
Speaker 4: they can't officially call it a hamburger.
Speaker 1: Super scary. Yeah, I see all right, Like when you
Speaker 1: spell chicken wings with a y because there's no wing
Speaker 1: meat in it. This guy is just weird. He makes
Speaker 1: a bunch of money being the CEO of McDonald's. Listen
Speaker 1: now here he talks about burgers.
Speaker 15: Here's another video, Hey everybody, we are here to do
Speaker 15: another spectacular McDonald's tasty. On my right here the classic
Speaker 15: McDonald's Big Mac, which you all know and love. I
Speaker 15: certainly love it. And then we have our Jim Big Mac,
Speaker 15: which has been on our menu before and it's coming
Speaker 15: back to make a reappearance. So we're going to do
Speaker 15: a little comparison between the two, starting with, of course, the.
Speaker 1: Iconic grabbing like a normal person. Here we go.
Speaker 15: First, visual appeal is very strong, looks fantastic.
Speaker 3: There he looks. You're seeing people that use someone else's arms, and.
Speaker 1: He does look like that, like somebody's behind him putting
Speaker 1: the arms out.
Speaker 3: And typically that's very funny. This is just scaring me
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is weird. Talk like a normal person.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: The visual appeal of the burgers in question is the
Speaker 1: top notch and very impressive to the human eye.
Speaker 15: Wait to bite into it. That cheese is nice and tempered.
Speaker 1: Tempered hmm.
Speaker 15: You got a great hip of Big Mac sauce in that.
Speaker 15: I really I tasted it.
Speaker 1: I loved it.
Speaker 15: The beef notes there, it all works, so it may
Speaker 15: be actually the perfect sandwich.
Speaker 1: A glass of wine. Bro I'm pretty sure I had
Speaker 1: a roommate in my early twenties who would fart and
Speaker 1: say beef notes. Like, you don't say beef notes when
Speaker 1: you're eating a McDonald's burger, you say good burger. Yum talk.
Speaker 1: Two hungry Americans hmm burger good yum.
Speaker 2: All right, very basic stuff.
Speaker 1: Not the hints of the beaten note. Beef notes are
Speaker 1: really they're very Somebody says, this guy eats fancy food
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the time. True, that's what we're
Speaker 1: learning here. Like this guy's pretending to be a normy.
Speaker 3: I think he gets spoon fed like I'm getting.
Speaker 1: He sits down in a big ceo chair and here
Speaker 1: you go, open up.
Speaker 15: Chicken's not going to try to give it a run
Speaker 15: for the money. So let's try the chicken big Mac
Speaker 15: and see how it compares. Get the chicken mills so
Speaker 15: you'll recognize we still have the three buns, we still
Speaker 15: have all the beef nutice and cheese and chicken big
Speaker 15: mac sauce, but we now have two chicken patties.
Speaker 1: So let's give this a try, bigger bite than normal.
Speaker 1: Really good.
Speaker 15: One of the things I did like about this Chicken
Speaker 15: big Mac is the crunching of the chicken. You get
Speaker 15: a crunch with this chicken big machete.
Speaker 1: He just sounds like somebody teleported into a human body
Speaker 1: and they're day one trying to control it like krang.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that reference works for anybody.
Speaker 4: But if anybody knowing Krang is he's like, uh, it's
Speaker 4: like it's like he's like, it's Egger but in a
Speaker 4: suit suit.
Speaker 1: Here's here's Krang. If you ever watched the series The
Speaker 1: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, there was a character named Krag, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he was a brain inside the body of a
Speaker 1: guy and he had like you know, levers and stuff,
Speaker 1: and he would control the body and he would the
Speaker 1: body would be abnormal and moving around. Weird. That's the
Speaker 1: guy who makes eighteen million dollars to be the CEO
Speaker 1: of McDonald's. Janine says, how is this even real? Is
Speaker 1: this even real? He sounds like he's been made in
Speaker 1: the laboratory. He's gonna throw all of this up. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Sell the stock, sell, sell sell for now
Speaker 1: until we can get a human in there. Quick break,
Speaker 1: when we come back the next episode with Sabrina certified
Speaker 1: human being. What's coming up on the next episode?
Speaker 3: What's coming up on the next episode?

Speaker 5: The same perfect earworm sixty years ago, nineteen sixty six,
Speaker 5: one of the members of this group right here, this
Speaker 5: is right, and it was on this day.
Speaker 3: John Lennon told the London Evening Standard that.
Speaker 5: The Beatles were more popular than Jesus, and war happened.
Speaker 3: It was very rude, and I think eventually the Pope
Speaker 3: forgave them.
Speaker 5: I think even one member of the Catholic Church, like
Speaker 5: a higher up, was like, technically, they are more popular
Speaker 5: than Jesus.
Speaker 3: Right now, as far as.
Speaker 1: That's not a that's not something you want to repeat
Speaker 1: to the Pope, like to his.
Speaker 5: Face, Lenin did later I clarify that he was now
Speaker 5: comparing the band to Christ in a divine sense, but
Speaker 5: rather pointing out the decline of religion conferences among young
Speaker 5: noting I'm not anti good, I was not knocking it.
Speaker 1: Let's see Christ drop or evens track and then now
Speaker 1: we're talking back and forth they go out each other.
Speaker 1: Now that that would be breakthrough.
Speaker 3: Imagine your hell that was all me, bad Bunny.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to keep imagining.
Speaker 3: I don't know why this is coming out now.
Speaker 5: We stopped talking about the bad Bunny crazy halftime show.
Speaker 5: So Rock Nation is like, hey, one more little tidbit.
Speaker 5: Almost a month later, right, it was the beginning of beginning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, somewhere around that.
Speaker 5: According to Rock Nation, who co produced the halftime show,
Speaker 5: Bad Bunnies Halftime Show said a new viewership record. They
Speaker 5: say it generated four point one five seven billion views worldwide,
Speaker 5: wide wide, within the first twenty four hours, across multiple platforms.
Speaker 5: That's the US broadcast, international broadcast, YouTube, and other digital platforms.
Speaker 5: A breakdown of the calculation not released, surprise surprise, and
Speaker 5: it hasn't been independently verified, but we'll just take your
Speaker 5: word for it, huh. It's also worth mentioning that the
Speaker 5: world population is about eight point two billion, so considering
Speaker 5: the mass, half the world watched it, so but it
Speaker 5: could include multiple views. I'm just gonna go with half
Speaker 5: the world why not? And half the world was wondering
Speaker 5: is Jim Carrey a clone or did he get plastic surgery?
Speaker 5: Or was it that Alexis Stone person and now a
Speaker 5: plastic surgeon that absolutely did not work on Jim Carrey's
Speaker 5: face is weighing in on Jim Carrey's face, okay, calling
Speaker 5: it a major surgical transformation and giving us a bit
Speaker 5: of a dollar to it a price.
Speaker 1: Is it possible that you just got a facelift? People
Speaker 1: get facelifts.
Speaker 3: Lift if you think so fillers different nose. Let's see
Speaker 3: what this guy says.
Speaker 2: Is it one of those things where you go in
Speaker 2: and you go give me the whole thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, me, mom, the mom one.
Speaker 1: The beautiful, the mommy takeover is multiple things.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So that could be the same.
Speaker 1: Little little fat sucked away here and there, that kind
Speaker 1: of thing.
Speaker 5: So, according to this plastic surgeon that did not work
Speaker 5: on him but knows so much about plastic surgery, Jim
Speaker 5: Carrey got the following row lift upper eyelid surgery, a facelift,
Speaker 5: possibly fat transfer into the cheeks, and laser resurfacing for
Speaker 5: smoother skin.
Speaker 1: It added fat to the cheeks.
Speaker 3: I love fat cheeks.
Speaker 5: If that's what he had done, the total cost would
Speaker 5: be somewhere around how much money, Jenny, Oh.
Speaker 1: My god, that's got to be pretty expensive, right, I
Speaker 1: think this kind of plastic surgery is costly.
Speaker 3: Rowlift surgery, facelift at the cheeks.
Speaker 1: But you might get a deal. Maybe me your package deal.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say eighty five thousand dollars. I'm going
Speaker 1: to go one hundred and ten k.
Speaker 5: Well bargain for you two up to sixty thousand dollars, depending.
Speaker 3: On the type of.
Speaker 1: Trace Ventura.
Speaker 5: Not the quick recovery either. They say swelling can last
Speaker 5: for months and the final results can take up to
Speaker 5: a full year to settle. So maybe that's why he
Speaker 5: looked crazy, but not a question.
Speaker 1: I was feel kind of bad for him. Did he
Speaker 1: have that crazy thing with his ex girlfriend Jim Carrey
Speaker 1: and he killed herself. Yeah, But it wasn't just that
Speaker 1: she took her own life. I thought I could be
Speaker 1: wrong about this. I hope I'm not. I thought that
Speaker 1: she not only took her own life, but she like
Speaker 1: mentioned him in her note that she left behind.
Speaker 12: And.
Speaker 1: That's tough. That's tough stuff.
Speaker 5: Also kind of tough, but in a completely different way.
Speaker 5: I want to be very clear. We had this story
Speaker 5: from Christina Applegate. She has a new memoir that's come
Speaker 5: out called You with the Sad Eyes, and it contains
Speaker 5: a very interesting admission. At one point in nineteen eighty
Speaker 5: nine the VMA's to be exact, she went with Brad Pitt.
Speaker 5: Then Brad Pitt was ditch for Sebastian.
Speaker 1: Bach rejected love.
Speaker 3: They were both still in their teens. She was the
Speaker 3: bigger star at the time.
Speaker 5: Apparently, she said I had spent all night staring at Bach,
Speaker 5: who was then a long haired hunk fronting the band
Speaker 5: skid Row. I had to put it like this, but
Speaker 5: Brad back then was still making his way as an actor.
Speaker 5: He wasn't yet the Brad Pitt.
Speaker 3: So I ditched him and got with Sebastian.
Speaker 5: Damn if you can do me a solid nineteen eighty
Speaker 5: nine Sebastian Bach.
Speaker 3: Picture was her look?
Speaker 1: Eighties? Yeah, he was lead singer of He was a
Speaker 1: lead singer of skid Row. Yes, so like a lot
Speaker 1: of people, my sister liked him. You know, this is
Speaker 1: what he looked like then. Long hair. Yeah, this was
Speaker 1: back when they were like kind of looking feminine in
Speaker 1: the eighties rockers. They had the shorter shirts on in
Speaker 1: tight pants and damn rock and roll. Second row, fourth picture,
Speaker 1: that's got hair that is soon takes man. Very blown
Speaker 1: out listeners, very very blown out, look all over the place,
Speaker 1: sort of something about Mary all over kind kind of
Speaker 1: look while.
Speaker 5: You're there, Sebastian Sebastian Bock twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Please okay, Sebastian, Oh what was it like now?
Speaker 8: Sebastian Bach today because full circle, Wow, you're going to
Speaker 8: be seeing him because he has replaced d Snyder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean he.
Speaker 10: Looks like an older version of himself, but Radbitt has
Speaker 10: got it.
Speaker 17: Now, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looks like a guy who tells me Iraq
Speaker 1: and does the little thing, you know, like the Devil's
Speaker 1: horn with his.
Speaker 2: Hand, and then I go, okay, people, all right.
Speaker 1: Settle down.
Speaker 5: Oh he's not settling down as a matter of fact,
Speaker 5: going on tour with Twisted Sister. Several shows released this year,
Speaker 5: and he's on vocals because de Snyder called it quits
Speaker 5: several weeks ago due to health issues.
Speaker 3: Looks like he had to take it all right.
Speaker 5: On the boob Tube, We've got three hour Chicago crossover event.
Speaker 5: Also the first season finale of The Beauty on Fax series,
Speaker 5: premiere of America's Culinary Cup on CBS, Shark Tags, Young
Speaker 5: Sherlock on Amazon, and catch Steve grow on Colbert. Follow
Speaker 5: Your Dreams of You on Instagram at Sabrina and Broba
Speaker 5: most importantly say with me.
Speaker 1: America smoke weed every day. Thank you, Sabrina. Let me
Speaker 1: hear that song to hear it?
Speaker 7: Yeah, let's go here, do a little clicking there, all right.
Speaker 17: Gold Back, how did it make that noise.
Speaker 1: Than robots Man. Go back to the beginning.
Speaker 6: Hag uh.
Speaker 17: I love it.
Speaker 6: All.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you missed the beginning of the show. That
Speaker 1: that is my voice singing opera that was turned into
Speaker 1: a certified banger, now dumbstep banger. The original is is raw.
Speaker 1: It needed work. It doesn't work, doesn't it doesn't. It
Speaker 1: kind of blow your mind, like when you hear a
Speaker 1: pop star singing and you used to be impressed, and
Speaker 1: now you hear my opera sound play the Ridge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that that turned into the.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It takes away the magic of the music industry. I
Speaker 1: think a little bit back with more in a second.
Speaker 1: All that so much more coming up next on the
Speaker 1: News Junkie. You can learn more about the show by
Speaker 1: going to the website, and there's lots of info there.
Speaker 1: I think after the show we'll put the brand new
Speaker 1: banger song, the Sean Opera remixed.
Speaker 3: Entire commercial break. It was in my head loop.
Speaker 1: It's catchy. People ask for it, so we'll put it
Speaker 1: up on the website after the show. Here at some
Speaker 1: point in time before the day is over. There was
Speaker 1: an election last night. I don't know how many people
Speaker 1: watched it. I do You couldn't it was in Texas.
Speaker 1: I do that was plenty of text messages about it.
Speaker 1: I randomly get text messages from candidates in Texas. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I got think maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they there's somebody in Texas who's
Speaker 1: a fan of the show, who's putting your number out.
Speaker 1: There could be the case. We got a lot of
Speaker 1: fans in Texas, Dallas in particular, or we've been on
Speaker 1: a station there in the past.
Speaker 2: But they had an election and it was the big one.
Speaker 1: Was Jasmine Crockett versus this tell Errico guy. Now you
Speaker 1: might not know those names, but I'll make it make
Speaker 1: sense for you and the election HQ as you just
Speaker 1: heard our election HQ song playing here in the background.
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett, you probably know she's a House of Representative members.
Speaker 1: She was trying to go for the Senate like an upgrade.
Speaker 1: She was trying to, you know, on up herself and
Speaker 1: power up to Senate level. She did not win.
Speaker 2: She was favored to win, big time, big time. She
Speaker 2: was favored to win.
Speaker 1: And then this tall Rico guy came up and he's
Speaker 1: sort of like a religious Woki type. I don't know
Speaker 1: he said Jesus was non binary one time, and then
Speaker 1: he got the attention of Stephen Colbert. He's the one
Speaker 1: who Stephen Colbert did the whole thing where he was like,
Speaker 1: the FCC won't let me interview this guy, and then
Speaker 1: he posted it on YouTube and then the Tall Rico
Speaker 1: campaign raised millions and millions of dollars off this whole thing,
Speaker 1: and Tall Rico went around and was like, they're censoring me,
Speaker 1: they don't want to. I want you to hear me
Speaker 1: and being interviewed, when the only point there was that, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe Jasmin Crockett should get some time too, but she
Speaker 1: went for being in the lead before a lot of
Speaker 1: that stuff in the latest polls to tall Rico winning
Speaker 1: by almost ten points and what I'm looking at here
Speaker 1: and then swade it at all. I think it doesn't
Speaker 1: hurt controversy. I think it doesn't hurt. I think it
Speaker 1: brings more eyeballs to it and get more attention. And
Speaker 1: then right now people want people want a couple of things.
Speaker 1: One is if you're a Democrat. If somebody is a
Speaker 1: Democrat and they aren't completely and totally against ice that
Speaker 1: those people are getting voted out because Democrats hate ice
Speaker 1: at the moment. And the other one is if you're
Speaker 1: a Democrat and you can, you can run on under
Speaker 1: this theme that like the Trump administration is trying to
Speaker 1: censor you, it does bring in attention and possibly even votes.
Speaker 1: What do you have want otherwise?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll never know. I have no idea what well, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think we do know that the the controversy h
Speaker 1: got a lot of money headed towards his campaign. He
Speaker 1: made money off of it, for sure, right because after
Speaker 1: that aired and and I also not aired because he
Speaker 1: posted it on YouTube. Stephen Colbert did the interview with
Speaker 1: this tall rico guy, but afterwards it also got a
Speaker 1: ton of views on YouTube. I don't know what that
Speaker 1: went up to, but I think it was a lot.
Speaker 1: Millions and millions and millions of people ended up watching it,
Speaker 1: and many of them were probably made aware of his
Speaker 1: campaign for the first time from that whole big explosive thing.
Speaker 1: So then comes in the thing I want to play
Speaker 1: for you, because I always find this to be interesting.
Speaker 1: When there's an election, you have the winner and the loser, obviously,
Speaker 1: and they both usually have events. They both have an
Speaker 1: event with a podium and a crowd and they have
Speaker 1: snacks that they put out, and they might have some
Speaker 1: drinks and it's a party, you know, DJ playing music
Speaker 1: and they're watching the returns come in. And on one side,
Speaker 1: the party at the beginning stays a party. It's a party.
Speaker 1: When you're walking in, you're like, yeah, let's see those results.
Speaker 1: Let's go and you start partying. And then the results
Speaker 1: come in and you're like, yeah, we won the election.
Speaker 1: You know you're partying, right, But there has to be
Speaker 1: an other side. Somebody has to lose. The other side
Speaker 1: has to lose. So I always like to hear the
Speaker 1: losing side when they come up and address their crowd
Speaker 1: because it's usually a little awkward and strange. Which party
Speaker 1: do you think burns through more alcohol? Probably the losers,
Speaker 1: I depend on how long they stay there. But these
Speaker 1: people will support these candidates. Obviously, they show up. They
Speaker 1: want them to win. And you're like, damn it, man,
Speaker 1: And did all those phone calls in the election phone
Speaker 1: bank and it was for nothing?
Speaker 2: And Jasmine Crockett came out and she was not happy.
Speaker 2: She was not thrilled.
Speaker 1: Here she is So.
Speaker 18: So that's my news is that we're not going to
Speaker 18: have election results tonight, in my opinion, based upon what
Speaker 18: specifically has taken place in Dallas County. Huh, this is
Speaker 18: what Republicans like to do, and so they specifically targeted
Speaker 18: Dallas County and I think we all know why.
Speaker 1: So what she's saying, she's blaming Republicans for her winning
Speaker 1: against the or losing against the tall Rico guy. There
Speaker 1: was some voting laws that changed in the Dallas area,
Speaker 1: I guess, which required people to go to the chosen precinct.
Speaker 1: So everybody has like a particular chosen precinct and you
Speaker 1: have to go to that place to vote, and she
Speaker 1: is claiming that that is what affected her vote totals
Speaker 1: like people were going to the wrong place, they couldn't vote. No,
Speaker 1: a lot of places, some places will do open precincts
Speaker 1: and some places will do you got to go to
Speaker 1: your local precinct. And people are like, why can't you
Speaker 1: just vote anywhere? Well, the reason why they don't do
Speaker 1: that in a lot of places is because you don't
Speaker 1: want one place where there's a line that's six hours
Speaker 1: long in another place where there's a line that's five
Speaker 1: minutes long. You want to spread the load of people
Speaker 1: who are going to be voting on election day, which
Speaker 1: is hopefully a lot of people who want to spread
Speaker 1: them evenly across these locations. They say, you live here,
Speaker 1: you go to this precinct, you live here, you go
Speaker 1: to this precinct, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, And
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy.
Speaker 2: Most people operate under these circumstances right now.
Speaker 1: That's what she's blaming for this, But she doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like she's conceding. She's even though they can show the
Speaker 1: votes next to their pictures and it says that she's
Speaker 1: got forty four point eight percent of the vote and
Speaker 1: the Tallerico guy who Stephen Colbert likes, has fifty three
Speaker 1: point nine percent.
Speaker 2: She's not conceding.
Speaker 19: I want you to enjoy yourselves, but I won't be
Speaker 19: back tonight because I have no idea of when we're
Speaker 19: going to get results, and I fully anticipate it won't
Speaker 19: be until tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So I love y'all too. A lot of people there
Speaker 1: weird to see her say all that with all those
Speaker 1: losing scores on the screen. Huh, I love you down Dallas,
Speaker 1: all right, So she comes out, she blames the Republicans
Speaker 1: for her loss. She says, I'm not like conceding. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna wait until tomorrow to count the votes. The vote
Speaker 1: total here, I don't know what it ended up at.
Speaker 1: It was fifty nine percent in and it's less than
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand between the two, so things could shift.
Speaker 1: But at some point in time they did call it
Speaker 1: for the Tallarico guy and said that he handily won
Speaker 1: the election against Jasmine Crockett. That doesn't even mean, by
Speaker 1: the way that she disappears, because she's still a member
Speaker 1: of the House of Representatives. She was just trying to
Speaker 1: bump up her status a little bit and be in
Speaker 1: the United States Senate for Texas, and that didn't work
Speaker 1: out for her. On the other side of the coin,
Speaker 1: there was another election for the Republicans and Dan Crenshaw lost.
Speaker 1: He lost the Texas House primary vote. Dan Crenshaw, you
Speaker 1: might know he's the guy with the eyepatch. He's the
Speaker 1: only congressman that I think that I'm aware of that
Speaker 1: has an eyepatch right as you might know him from that.
Speaker 1: He was a veteran, I believe, and he is not
Speaker 1: closely aligned with Trump and maga of stuff. And he
Speaker 1: lost to a guy who was he lost to one
Speaker 1: of Trump's people, one of the more maga people. So
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure what you take from reading the
Speaker 1: tea leaves of these elections. It's a primary and there's
Speaker 1: probably not much to read from them, but that's what
Speaker 1: came out. Dan Crenshaw is out, he lost, and Steve
Speaker 1: Toth is in tok goes in. Crenshaw out. Crockett loses
Speaker 1: to Tyler Rico, and everybody can do with the results
Speaker 1: what they'd like. If you have any thoughts, send them
Speaker 1: over to tips at the news Junkie dot com. There
Speaker 1: was another person that we were paying attention to that
Speaker 1: participated in this election who was running. Vince Offer was
Speaker 1: in this election. That's right, the sham Wow guy. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And he was mad because he wanted his
Speaker 1: name on the ballot. I think he's suing over there.
Speaker 1: He's suing the GOP. Yeah, he's suing the Republicans because
Speaker 1: he wanted his name on the ballot to be Vince
Speaker 1: sham Wow whatever his last name is.
Speaker 2: Offer.
Speaker 1: He wanted that to be on the ballot so that
Speaker 1: the name recognition would be, oh, who will go We're
Speaker 1: gonna vote for that? And he didn't get that he.
Speaker 4: He tweeted his Twitter like name or excuse me, the
Speaker 4: handle like the at is a real sham wow guy,
Speaker 4: but the name that's above it is sham Wow shlow me,
Speaker 4: which it's so weird. And he said suing the GOP
Speaker 4: Texas for deleting my nickname sham Wou in the primaries,
Speaker 4: so they helped the incumbent John Carter. So the voters
Speaker 4: don't recognize me. Rigged election by these rhinos.
Speaker 1: Bro. The people who would vote based on sham Wou
Speaker 1: are not sham Wow, are not people I want to
Speaker 1: have the right to vote to begin with. They like
Speaker 1: the people who vote, and they do things and you go,
Speaker 1: that's that's what swayed your vote. Like some of these people,
Speaker 1: I want to fully rescind the voting. I want to
Speaker 1: reel them back in.
Speaker 4: Do you call them rhinos as in the animal because
Speaker 4: he rhino he's not spelling it r I n o
Speaker 4: like a Republican in name only he put r h
Speaker 4: I n O.
Speaker 1: S Oh, really did he he spelled it correctly.
Speaker 7: Like the animal?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, Rhino is what they used to talk down
Speaker 1: to people who aren't Republican enough. It's republican in name
Speaker 1: only are I n O instead of how he posted it,
Speaker 1: which he let us say is r H I n
Speaker 1: O like short for rhinoceros, Like the thing that's up
Speaker 1: for auction that Jim Carrey crawled out of the butt
Speaker 1: of Ye, yes, yes, that's I've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: people posting about that. It wasn't I fetch some money
Speaker 1: with that? A hippo or a rhino rhino?
Speaker 7: I think?
Speaker 1: And my favorite part is all of the posts that
Speaker 1: I see going viral on that prop that Sabrina talked
Speaker 1: about this Hollywood auction, and there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: that are up there. And one of the things that
Speaker 1: I found in the auction was the rhino that Jim
Speaker 1: Carrey crawls out of it like he crawls out of
Speaker 1: the butt of the rhino and ace ventura. And people
Speaker 1: keep posting this and they're like, need need convincing my
Speaker 1: financial advisor that this is a smart purchase for me,
Speaker 1: and guys, is this too big for my living room?
Speaker 1: With more of a modern vibe going on right now,
Speaker 1: they're calling it the butt birth rhino. That's great. Rock
Speaker 1: on YouTube says, didn't this shamlock guy do something weird
Speaker 1: like with hookers. I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, or not
Speaker 1: says he'd been a hooker. Yeah he did. He got
Speaker 1: into a fight with a hooker at his hotel room.
Speaker 1: And he seems like not a great dude, honestly. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know why I should be surprised necessarily. But
Speaker 1: the Shamwock guy's mad because he couldn't put Shamwell on
Speaker 1: the actual ballot, and he thinks that's what would have swayed.
Speaker 3: So let's say they did let him do it.
Speaker 5: Could he have shot them because it's a trademark that
Speaker 5: he owns or copyright the trademark.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wanted that.
Speaker 1: He wanted that on the ballot, but they said, we're
Speaker 1: not doing it because it's not your official name. Now
Speaker 1: neither is Vince Offer. His name is Offer, Vince Well,
Speaker 1: hold on, I think if you're if you change your
Speaker 1: legal name. Did he change his legal name just because
Speaker 1: if he changed his legal name to Vince ShamWow, whatever,
Speaker 1: I think they would have to put that on the ballot,
Speaker 1: I might believe is what BUBBAA love sponge did, right.
Speaker 1: I think I think that you could do that. But
Speaker 1: can you interview him? Oh God, what of what interest?
Speaker 7: Is that.
Speaker 1: God. Politicians do it. Politicians are dumb and scummy enough
Speaker 1: to begin with, like I want to bring no, what
Speaker 1: am I going to wear?
Speaker 3: A lot of sham Wow?
Speaker 2: I don't think shamwais are big anymore?
Speaker 14: Are they?
Speaker 9: Do?
Speaker 2: People still use them?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was just a shammi cloth, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: people bought a lot of them back in the day.
Speaker 4: That would be hilarious if he made this big sting
Speaker 4: about wanting, you know, to be able to be recognized
Speaker 4: for his previous work on the ballot and he's like, no,
Speaker 4: I have to have this on the ballot, and then
Speaker 4: he opens the ballot that says, Vince slap chop offer, good.
Speaker 1: Enough, good enough, We'll put it in there. Here's the
Speaker 1: thing I teased earlier. I said, California math teacher is
Speaker 1: in trouble, and I'm going to read you the questions
Speaker 1: that this California math teacher had on his quiz. Now
Speaker 1: that's California, So maybe they're just freaking out about nothing
Speaker 1: over there. They're weird. You go to California and it
Speaker 1: makes you weird, all right. It happens to people. They
Speaker 1: go to Los Angeles, phil they change and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, they speak differently and stuff, and they have
Speaker 1: like a different accent.
Speaker 2: It happens.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's happening here, or maybe this teacher went too far.
Speaker 1: We will judge everybody, get your judging hats on. Let's
Speaker 1: go through it here it is KTLA has the story
Speaker 1: a teacher at an elite high school in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: So this guy's in San Francisco has been placed on
Speaker 1: indefinite leave.
Speaker 2: What did he do after allegations.
Speaker 1: Of sexists and fat shaming. Questions included on ninth grade
Speaker 1: algebra one quizzes fat shaming in algebra? Don't how are
Speaker 1: you like? I'm seem more of a geometry.
Speaker 17: Kind of thing.
Speaker 5: No, I could see it like Stacey eight thirteen Little vies.
Speaker 1: But no, all right, I got the questions here. Let's
Speaker 1: see it'sa His parents were informed of the allegations on
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon by the principal of Lowell High School, A
Speaker 1: John Bautista, whose message stated that teacher Tom Chan, oh
Speaker 1: it's an Asian guy. Tom Chan, a veteran educator that's
Speaker 1: worked at the school for more than twenty years quote
Speaker 1: needed to go on leave unquote for an unknown amount
Speaker 1: of time. According to the outlet, some of the questions
Speaker 1: on the class quiz last month were framed around taking
Speaker 1: somebody out on a Valentine's Day date. That's not so bad,
Speaker 1: I could see that. It's like maybe Valentine's Day is
Speaker 1: coming up and you go past or whatever. Then you
Speaker 1: go are questions going to be around that? On our
Speaker 1: on our math quiz? Here's one of the questions that
Speaker 1: got him in trouble. The amount of money you spend
Speaker 1: on a date varies inversely to how much they weigh.
Speaker 1: A typical girl that weighs one hundred and twenty pounds
Speaker 1: will cost you fifty five dollars the math math problem
Speaker 1: before did they read? Students were then directed to first
Speaker 1: derive the variation equation and then asked how much they
Speaker 1: could expect on a date with Ashley, who's two hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty pounds. So basically like, if you're with a
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty pound woman, it costs fifty five dollars.
Speaker 1: So if a woman weighs two hundred and twenty five pounds,
Speaker 1: how much does this b flow cost you for the
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day day? A third prompt asked students to calculate
Speaker 1: how much their date would need to weigh if they
Speaker 1: could only afford to spend five dollars.
Speaker 3: This is a very hard math problem.
Speaker 15: No, it's not.
Speaker 4: Let's see, typical girl that weighs one hundred and twenty
Speaker 4: pounds will cost you fifty five dollars.
Speaker 1: So is that all right? One hundred and twenty divided
Speaker 1: by fifty five?
Speaker 3: Also, typical girl.
Speaker 1: That's tent, he's pretty thin. What is that? Two point eighteen?
Speaker 7: All right? So that we do that?
Speaker 1: What times to twenty five? Yeah? Yeah, all right, twenty
Speaker 1: The two twenty pound girl costs you more, obviously, But
Speaker 1: how much is the question? I think I know it wrong.
Speaker 1: If I have all that are, if eyeball that, I'd
Speaker 1: say one hundred bucks. Yeah I heard something wrong. Wow,
Speaker 1: he's using a calculator. If I got it right without
Speaker 1: the calculator, I say it one hundred dollars in change.
Speaker 1: That's what I think it is. But maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see. We'll bring that up. And also
Speaker 1: there was another. The other one said, uh, you can
Speaker 1: only afford to spend five dollars, so wouldn't that girl
Speaker 1: only be two pounds?
Speaker 7: What do you say?
Speaker 1: You said one dollars. Yeah, I have ninety nine. You
Speaker 1: were a real buck off. Look not bad.
Speaker 2: The brain comes through. Oh god, it gets worse.
Speaker 1: Actually hold on, worse than the two pound girl that
Speaker 1: you would need for the Valentine's Day day. And another
Speaker 1: question allegedly titled mister chan versus the Fat Kid Part two,
Speaker 1: The math teacher wrote, the fat kid from last time
Speaker 1: wouldn't be quiet about the candy I was eating in
Speaker 1: front of him, so I punted him into the air.
Speaker 2: This is the question on the quick teacher.
Speaker 1: The ninth graders were then instructed to solve equations for
Speaker 1: height and time, along with a seemingly unrelated question asking
Speaker 1: them when the last time was that they gave candy
Speaker 1: to a fat kid.
Speaker 4: All right, I might be messing this up, but if
Speaker 4: you only had five bucks, you better have an eleven
Speaker 4: pound date.
Speaker 1: That's just a pretty skinny person right there. Other questions
Speaker 1: were how tall are you? And how much dowey, followed
Speaker 1: by pretty or smart? And why apparent? One of the
Speaker 1: students was upset about this because you know, of course
Speaker 1: they were.
Speaker 2: Let us know what you think. Should the teacher be
Speaker 2: fired for the questions?
Speaker 1: Sending an email or dispatch tips at the news Junkie
Speaker 1: dot com or record your dispatch at the news Junkie
Speaker 1: dot com.
Speaker 2: Right now, quick break, we're back in a moment.
Speaker 1: We got a lot more to get to, updates on
Speaker 1: the big story, what's happening in Iran and the response
Speaker 1: to all of that, and then in jury duty mister
Speaker 1: Roberts returns to the show. What's happened in her court case?
Speaker 1: Right now, I want you to hear this is coming
Speaker 1: up next on the News Junkie. Find out what's going
Speaker 1: on to the show over on the website thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: I got some pretty interesting stuff I think we can
Speaker 1: get into on the Iran front.
Speaker 2: If you're not tuned into that, don't freak out.
Speaker 1: I'm always going to try to hit you from a
Speaker 1: different perspective or viral angle on this. But before we
Speaker 1: talk about that, I have to share with you one
Speaker 1: of those stories that's just like an unbelievable story, like
Speaker 1: it seems so crazy that it it couldn't be real,
Speaker 1: but it is. Like, this is a legitimate, one real story,
Speaker 1: and it's about a guy by the name of Jerry
Speaker 1: or Gary. I think it's probably Gary G. E. R
Speaker 1: r Y would be a Gary, right, g e r
Speaker 1: Y Yeah? Okay, Gary, I mean Jerry I would think
Speaker 1: would be either jay e er or you know, some
Speaker 1: of like that. But maybe I knew a Gary that
Speaker 1: had er r y. Okay. Gary Goldberg is what we're
Speaker 1: gonna call him for now. And Gary Goldberg is eighty
Speaker 1: two years old. Eighty two years old. This guy fell
Speaker 1: in love with this woman and Andy what's her name?
Speaker 1: And they were together for a very long time, like
Speaker 1: the perfect example of a couple and how two people
Speaker 1: can really grow with each other over a long period
Speaker 1: of time. As you can tell from the way I'm talking,
Speaker 1: this doesn't stay this way. There are some twists and
Speaker 1: turns in the story of Gary Goldberg's life. So Gary
Speaker 1: Goldberg is hanging out one day and his wife leaves
Speaker 1: and she she drives to go get something done. And
Speaker 1: when his wife leaves, he doesn't hear back from her,
Speaker 1: and Gary goes, what the hell? Uh? She left a
Speaker 1: long time ago, she wasn't going that far. Where is she?
Speaker 1: And it turns out that there was a very dangerous
Speaker 1: intersection in town. And eventually Gary got the call that
Speaker 1: his wife, the love of his life, had died in
Speaker 1: a car accident, and they told him, you got to
Speaker 1: get over here, and we need to make sure.
Speaker 2: That everything's taken care of.
Speaker 1: And he said okay and put everything down, and Gary
Speaker 1: went over there, went to the scene, and he immediately realized, geez,
Speaker 1: and it's amazing this hasn't happened many, many more times.
Speaker 2: This is an incredibly dangerous intersection.
Speaker 1: He said. All I want is for my local officials,
Speaker 1: the politicians who pretend to do stuff for the people.
Speaker 1: All I want is for them to step up and
Speaker 1: do something in my wife's memory. Put a traffic light
Speaker 1: at this very dangerous intersection.
Speaker 2: That's what he wanted out of this.
Speaker 1: Honor my wife, Honor her memory, make it so this
Speaker 1: doesn't happen to anybody else in the future by taking
Speaker 1: this dangerous intersection where my wife died in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four and making it safer for everybody else. Now, I'll
Speaker 1: bring to you the update on this story after telling
Speaker 1: you the narrative and the background of this, because otherwise
Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't have believed it. Here's the story from
Speaker 1: nine News. It says man dies and crash at intersection
Speaker 1: where he petitioned for traffic light after his wife's death.
Speaker 2: Gary or Jerry, We'll never know who fought?
Speaker 1: Well know when I played the story in a second
Speaker 1: who fought to get a traffic light and sawd it
Speaker 1: the intersection where his wife was killed in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: died on Monday in a car clash at the car
Speaker 1: crash at the same place.
Speaker 17: And then the.
Speaker 1: Same play the guy all he wanted when his wife died.
Speaker 1: All he wanted was a traffic light. This is how
Speaker 1: demonic and evil politicians are. This is how bad they are.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't give the eighty year old guy a traffic
Speaker 1: light at the intersection where his wife died, which was
Speaker 1: obviously dangerous. This is how demonic and evil. Wasn't just
Speaker 1: politicians was.
Speaker 4: Neighbors argued against it, contending it's not needed and adding
Speaker 4: a light would lead to increased traffic on residential streets.
Speaker 1: How they're feeling right now, Selen, How how the neighbor
Speaker 1: is feeling about this? All this guy wanted was a
Speaker 1: stop light. And there's so many beautiful photos of him
Speaker 1: in his wife. Let's let's watch the story from Channel
Speaker 1: nine news here and went to the restaurant.
Speaker 12: And he wasn't there.
Speaker 3: I tried to call him, I tried to text him.
Speaker 1: This is somebody who noticed he was gone.
Speaker 3: No answer at all, and he never showed.
Speaker 12: And I went home with a very empty feeling that
Speaker 12: something was askew, because that was not like him.
Speaker 20: Gloria was waiting for her cousin, Jerry Goldberg. If you
Speaker 20: look familiar, it may be because of his fight to
Speaker 20: get a traffic light erected at the intersection of East
Speaker 20: Bellevue in South Frank Jesus.
Speaker 1: They interviewed this guy before he was on TV. He
Speaker 1: was begging the politicians please focus on something other than
Speaker 1: viral clips for a second, U politicians, can we please
Speaker 1: make everybody a little safer? My wife died at this intersection.
Speaker 1: Do you care even a little bit? And they didn't
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 20: No, the intersection where his wife, Andy was hit by
Speaker 20: a car and killed in May twenty twenty four.
Speaker 21: Due to the death of Andy, I've been thinking of
Speaker 21: how much it means to me going forward here is
Speaker 21: that nothing like this ever happens again.
Speaker 1: By the way, Fish bulb Over on YouTube says he
Speaker 1: wanted to prove a point. Are we sure it was
Speaker 1: an accident? I mean, you think he just pulled his
Speaker 1: car out and waited for somebody to hit him, and
Speaker 1: so it would happen again.
Speaker 3: You know, a traffic light with a camera, and it
Speaker 3: would determine Yeah.
Speaker 1: Probably.
Speaker 2: Let's see what else they said.
Speaker 20: Gerry spoke to us last fall about a petition drive.
Speaker 20: He started hoping to get a traffic light installed.
Speaker 21: And it would give me a great deal of resolve
Speaker 21: for closure in the loss of my wife.
Speaker 20: Mondays, he drove to meet Gloria for lunch. Jerry was
Speaker 20: in a car crash at Bellevue.
Speaker 1: And they show the car. The entire side of the
Speaker 1: car is completely smashed in this intersection. He's right at
Speaker 1: this very same intersection where his wife died, right here,
Speaker 1: and now it's him. Now he's the person.
Speaker 20: The very same intersection where his wife was killed.
Speaker 1: Jerry died.
Speaker 12: It's almost like science fiction.
Speaker 1: It was Monday evening.
Speaker 20: Gloria got the car all from Jerry's sister telling her
Speaker 20: what had happened.
Speaker 3: I was shot, of course.
Speaker 12: I couldn't sleep all night because it was just unimaginable.
Speaker 1: My God, I can't believe this. And now I want
Speaker 1: to say justice for Jerry. I want to say, for
Speaker 1: God's sake, can we do it now. But I think
Speaker 1: some of these people will still be too stubborn now.
Speaker 1: They'll feel like they're admitting guilt that they didn't do
Speaker 1: something beforehand, or they'll be like, it's not going to
Speaker 1: happen three times, all right, it's not going to happen again.
Speaker 1: Remember these stories, These are the things that that politics
Speaker 1: was really created to fix. This is the kind of
Speaker 1: thing where we have people dealing with people. We have
Speaker 1: to interact with each other. We have to have rules
Speaker 1: and laws, we have to have order, and we have
Speaker 1: to have safety for people. Those are sort of the
Speaker 1: prerequisites of an actual society. Pretend it's a SimCity game
Speaker 1: and you're the boss in charge, and when it's used
Speaker 1: to traffic lights in some city, I just kit the button.
Speaker 1: No one hit the button here, Seelane, nobody did it.
Speaker 1: And this guy died at the very same intersection as
Speaker 1: his wife did in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: I can't help offend a little bit about what that
Speaker 4: chatter said he just waited.
Speaker 2: There nothing to suggest that from the stories I'm seeing.
Speaker 4: I feel like, unless unless it was unavoidable, if I
Speaker 4: lost my wife at an intersection, I probably wouldn't go
Speaker 4: through that intersection very often.
Speaker 1: Probably well, yeah, it's true, I probably would try to
Speaker 1: stay away. He launched a petition aimed at having lights
Speaker 1: erected at the intersection. He was on his way to
Speaker 1: meet his cousin for lunch. He was involved in a
Speaker 1: two vehicle collision, and his wife died in that very
Speaker 1: same intersection. And they even have the story about like
Speaker 1: the petition, like the original story where this guy was like, hey,
Speaker 1: hold on, oh my god, are they gonna have Jesus?
Speaker 1: They have the actual this morning, a man in color,
Speaker 1: this was the original report.
Speaker 3: If she was hit and killed by a car wall
Speaker 3: jogging near their home.
Speaker 22: Now he is turning his grief into action and demanding
Speaker 22: safety changes at the intersection of Bellevue and Franklin.
Speaker 15: No one listen Fernandez talk to neighbors about what changes
Speaker 15: they want to see.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's a neighbor We're gonna come on and
Speaker 1: be like, no, hell no, it'll never happen again.
Speaker 2: How are the neighbors going to?
Speaker 1: Look here?
Speaker 23: Some people who live in this neighborhood, they've been asking
Speaker 23: for years for a traffic light. But you can see
Speaker 23: that those requests have gone nowhere. If you take a
Speaker 23: look at your screen you can get a better idea
Speaker 23: of where Bellevue and Franklin is located. This is just
Speaker 23: west of I twenty five, in between two busy intersections
Speaker 23: lanes on either side Broadway. Back in May of twenty
Speaker 23: twenty four, Jerry Goldberg and his wife Andy left the
Speaker 23: house for their usual morning workout. Jerry rode his bike
Speaker 23: and at the time, Andy was training for a half marathon.
Speaker 23: They took two different routes that morning. As Jerry was
Speaker 23: wrapping up his workout for the morning, he noticed police
Speaker 23: activity near their home after not hearing from Jesus agrophone
Speaker 23: and it pinged right here at this inner section, Andy
Speaker 23: was hit and killed by Oh.
Speaker 1: My god, it shows her jeep and it's just absolutely
Speaker 1: and totally mangled. Or maybe this was the jeep that
Speaker 1: I hit her or something very.
Speaker 3: Bad car accidents.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I way more like that until somebody does make
Speaker 5: a move about the lights. Isn't that obvious at this
Speaker 5: point taking a petition.
Speaker 1: It's not like there was a little tiny fender bender
Speaker 1: and they were old and they died. It was like
Speaker 1: a really bad accident, like a really bad car accident
Speaker 1: that happened to start this all out. Let us know
Speaker 1: what you think, give us your thoughts and a dispatch.

Speaker 1: Misty Roberts case. For those of you who didn't tune
Speaker 1: in yesterday, Misty Roberts is the woman who she was
Speaker 1: the mayor for a little while and then she was
Speaker 1: caught having sex with her son's friend in a pool.
Speaker 1: And the most amazing thing about a story like this
Speaker 1: is I can still go to you guys and all
Speaker 1: you got. Some of you guys are just warped. Other
Speaker 1: than DJ Rage, DJ Rage not warped, but all the
Speaker 1: rest of you are just warped. Because I'll say, if
Speaker 1: Misty Roberts came up to you tonight and said you
Speaker 1: want to go home with me, would you say yes
Speaker 1: or no? And like seventy percent of you guys are
Speaker 1: like yep, yep, yep, yep, pep yep pep. Will Wood
Speaker 1: would would would would would?
Speaker 2: I can fix her. I can fix her. I can
Speaker 2: fix her.
Speaker 1: Good looking lady, she was, she's an attractive lady. She
Speaker 1: has no need to find her son's sixteen year old
Speaker 1: friend to sleep with him. She could find somebody on
Speaker 1: her own with ease a Courtney. After the show, the
Speaker 1: other it was like, she's like she looks like the
Speaker 1: horn version of a woman. Next door, like, she's a
Speaker 1: pretty blonde lady who could get a guy exactly so many,
Speaker 1: so many times. The guy that they go for is
Speaker 1: the sixteen year old friend of the sun. What the
Speaker 1: hell's going on here? And you guys would still.
Speaker 7: Do her?
Speaker 1: I I don't know, that's very weird to me. Let's
Speaker 1: instead see what happened in the courtroom for this case
Speaker 1: when she was the mayor of DeRidder, the ritter where
Speaker 1: this went down in Louisiana, and let's see what happened
Speaker 1: here we go.
Speaker 22: Breaking news tonight, A jury just found former DeRidder mayor
Speaker 22: Misty Roberts guilty on both charges. Good evening, I'm so
Speaker 22: the jury deliberated for around an hour before finding Roberts
Speaker 22: guilty of indecent behavior with a juvenile and carnal knowledge
Speaker 22: of a juvenile.
Speaker 1: Carnal knowledge that is an old alphole. What does that
Speaker 1: even entail cardinal knowledge of? Is this sex offender list stuff?
Speaker 1: Because it sure sounds like it.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is the first time I've heard her
Speaker 4: charges described as such.
Speaker 1: I read third degree rape.
Speaker 3: Uh so it's an archaic legal term.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sexual intercourse, specifically referring to unlawful x sexual assault.
Speaker 3: That's the one.
Speaker 5: Yes, But the first word after is n When it
Speaker 5: says archaic, doesn't that mean we've retired it already or
Speaker 5: is that just that's all the town?
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just implying that this is like old law.
Speaker 1: I guess, like it's like the nineteen hundreds, eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: You would have this and they'd be like, you're on
Speaker 1: trial for connal law with a minor, and you know,
Speaker 1: they do the whole pomp and circumstance thing. And now
Speaker 1: this lady got charged with it here in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: But I mean, obviously what she did was wrong. I
Speaker 1: can't why isn't it just didn't they just used to
Speaker 1: call this like, uh, statutory rape? Yeah, I guess story
Speaker 1: rate would. I think this term predates that really, And
Speaker 1: like I said, where I've read it, like.
Speaker 4: Let me go back to the New York Post here,
Speaker 4: because I'm pretty sure that the New York Post has
Speaker 4: like eight different stories about this woman.
Speaker 1: I know they've been going with when there's only really three.
Speaker 4: They have really tried to juice this thing for as
Speaker 4: much as possible.
Speaker 1: But the I didn't read carnal knowledge in any of
Speaker 1: these Okay, let's see what else they say here, because
Speaker 1: they're getting into the jury in the case. Curtis has
Speaker 1: been following the trial for us and joins us now
Speaker 1: from the courthouse generator the falling Hole over on, Chad says,
Speaker 1: does it matter what the pedo looks like? Yeah? It
Speaker 1: does for that point, because there are there are a
Speaker 1: lot of guys. If it's a good looking woman, they
Speaker 1: will look past this stuff. And I always find that
Speaker 1: so weird. I'm like, this is why, guys, if you're
Speaker 1: a young man listening to this show. One key piece
Speaker 1: of advice that I will tell you that I tell
Speaker 1: my son that I would tell anybody who's a young
Speaker 1: man in the dating world with an ear, stay away
Speaker 1: from BPD women, from BPD girls, the women young women
Speaker 1: with borderline personality sort run in the other direction as
Speaker 1: fast as you possibly can. Don't say I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: it a chance. Don't say I'm excited. It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes when I'm around here, there's fireworks. BPD girls, run
Speaker 1: the other way from them, Run the other way because
Speaker 1: it's always going to explode like this. But so many guys,
Speaker 1: if they're attractive, we'll be like, wow, I mean I
Speaker 1: can fix her. I'll give her another chance here every time,
Speaker 1: every time, it's gonna end in failure. Don't tell me,
Speaker 1: but the sex is so good? You weirdos in chat,
Speaker 1: don't I don't don't yet, gues never stick it in crazy. Yes,
Speaker 1: that is that is a better idea.
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm wrong.
Speaker 4: I did say two charges of cardinal knowledge of a
Speaker 4: juvenile and indecent behavior with a juvenile.
Speaker 1: I thought my original a lot.
Speaker 4: I saw a third degree rape somewhere, but honestly, that
Speaker 4: could be just a different teacher story.
Speaker 1: It could be anything. I'll play a little more of this.
Speaker 1: Let's see what I say about.
Speaker 9: That's right, Cynthio. We did here today too. Guilty verdicts
Speaker 9: come out of the jury. Felny conal knowledge and felony
Speaker 9: indecent behavior with the juvenile. After that verdict was read,
Speaker 9: it was emotions came out in the coreum. The victim's
Speaker 9: mother began crying. She was asked to leave, and then
Speaker 9: Misty Roberts.
Speaker 1: The victim's mother, began crying, Yeah, let's get out of here, bitch.
Speaker 1: What are you crying about? Is going to die of
Speaker 1: high fives? After this? The mom of the sixteen year
Speaker 1: old started crying. The mom who said, did you get pregnant?
Speaker 1: And the woman, Misty Roberts, at the center of all
Speaker 1: this door dashed a plan B so that she could
Speaker 1: take it and make sure she wasn't going to get
Speaker 1: pregnant with this sixteen year old. That woman started crying
Speaker 1: in the courtroom and as a result, they booted her out.
Speaker 1: I'm going to save the rest of this for the
Speaker 1: final hour of the show. I do have updates on
Speaker 1: the war in Iran and some reaction to it, especially
Speaker 1: what happened behind closed Doors yesterday, some interesting stuff there,
Speaker 1: and a bunch of clips I got to play. So
Speaker 1: all of that is coming up the Power Hour, the
Speaker 1: final hour of the show, and that is coming up
Speaker 1: next on the News Junkie. We've been talking the last
Speaker 1: couple of days about this Misty Roberts story, and Seilan
Speaker 1: is very right about this story because some of the
Speaker 1: outlets covering it. The New York Post was definitely one
Speaker 1: of them where they just went kind of wall to wall.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm really surprised that I didn't read in
Speaker 4: the New York Post what I just read from KPLC.
Speaker 1: The TV station is that the one we're just you're
Speaker 1: watching right now. Seven uh yes, seven KPLC. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm looking at. They did a whole report about
Speaker 1: the victims testimony in court. The victim took the stand.
Speaker 1: This is the sixteen year old, this woman who was
Speaker 1: the ma of this town in Louisiana was busted by
Speaker 1: her son having sex with his sixteen year old friend
Speaker 1: in the pool. And that's the victim that was, I
Speaker 1: guess speaking in court here.
Speaker 4: Now he had already done one of those interviews with
Speaker 4: the Children's Advocate Advocacy Center. Not even that hard of
Speaker 4: a word, but he told Jurorsy was truthful during the
Speaker 4: c AC interview which they played for.
Speaker 1: The jury, and then they kind of went through the whole.
Speaker 4: Night with him, okay, and said, you know, he showed
Speaker 4: up to the party, they told him he could get
Speaker 4: drinks from the fridge. They're like yeats for all, for
Speaker 4: all of us, you know, as a party that I
Speaker 4: think they said in earlier testimony that Misty Roberts had
Speaker 4: like kind of asked her kids or you know what
Speaker 4: alcohol they want to get for this party, and she
Speaker 4: was pretty drunk.
Speaker 1: By the time.
Speaker 4: The victim arrived and he was trying to catch up
Speaker 4: and that's why he ended up throwing up from from drinking,
Speaker 4: all right, And then he goes through the flirting and
Speaker 4: stuff and they were kissing by the pool.
Speaker 2: No, they haven't named it. I don't name the victims
Speaker 2: sixteen right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's just all the details and right about the name.
Speaker 1: And that everybody locally knows, though you would imagine it
Speaker 1: gets into that. So he asked if they could go upstairs,
Speaker 1: and she agreed, and then they'd go through the sex part,
Speaker 1: and he said he was like dizzy because he was drunk.
Speaker 1: And there was like an alleged that one of the
Speaker 1: kids at the party might have gotten some video of it,
Speaker 1: but nobody has come forward with the video. But they
Speaker 1: like said they saw a phone like in a window
Speaker 1: or something like that. No, they were recording the this mom,
Speaker 1: the mayor of the town. They were recording her having
Speaker 1: sex with the son's six men year old.
Speaker 3: Friends on Snapchat.
Speaker 1: For sure.
Speaker 4: May have been may not have been the I think
Speaker 4: that one of the kids said, I put my phone up.
Speaker 4: I held my phone up to the window, but I
Speaker 4: don't know if I hit record. And the cops never
Speaker 4: got any video of it, but they were like, you know,
Speaker 4: planning on not telling anybody. And the next day, the
Speaker 4: victim sister called him and said, hey, it's getting out there, right,
Speaker 4: So he told his parents, who told him the only
Speaker 4: part that was his fault was getting that drunk, which
Speaker 4: makes sense. He also called his girlfriend, who broke up
Speaker 4: with him because he cheated, oh damn.
Speaker 1: And then going through it, and so then.
Speaker 4: This is where this is where I was like, oh gosh,
Speaker 4: this is getting crazy. The girlfriend immediately gets a new
Speaker 4: boyfriend who was her old boyfriend, her ex before him.
Speaker 4: She goes back to her ex, and now the victim
Speaker 4: thinks that her ex is the one that told everybody
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 1: Really, oh so okay, So the sixteen year old who
Speaker 1: this mayor mom was having sex with in the pool
Speaker 1: thinks that his girlfriend's ex is the one that blew
Speaker 1: the whistle on the relationship. Yeah, so he could get
Speaker 1: back with his ex girlfriend, which was actually successfully. He
Speaker 1: said that.
Speaker 4: He said that, he said, but he couldn't be sure
Speaker 4: that that was the case, And the defense asked, you
Speaker 4: were becoming kind of famous. The victim replied, unfortunately correct.
Speaker 4: The defense pressed him on the breakup with his girlfriend,
Speaker 4: and he clarified that she had broken up with him.
Speaker 4: He also confirmed he told both his parents and prosecutors
Speaker 4: that that things came what the plan B might have
Speaker 4: been needed.
Speaker 1: He crossed the finish line in correct, Yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and the.
Speaker 4: Jury was shown text messages from the victim's phone. This
Speaker 4: is where I went, Oh my okay.
Speaker 1: Text messages on YouTube, says Ryan on YouTube says this
Speaker 1: town is exhausting and.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: The jury was shown text messages from the victim's phone,
Speaker 4: verified by the same technical forensic investigator. The state called that, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, to prove other text messages were real and
Speaker 4: these text matches. The new boyfriend wrote that he knew everything.
Speaker 4: He used an expletive and a racial slur. Doesn't say
Speaker 4: which ones, and then he he wrote this. This is
Speaker 4: what he wrote to the victim. Couldn't tap that ex
Speaker 4: girlfriend name redacted, so you got to tap the mayor,
Speaker 4: right the victim. The victim replied, low key, kind of disrespectful,
Speaker 4: but I tapped that.
Speaker 3: Too, a little insign to ban tikteen in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Six, let me somebody in Chad, says victim in quotes,
Speaker 1: and I mean it's It's such a weird, interesting dynamic
Speaker 1: in these kind of stories because I don't know how
Speaker 1: he was portraying himself in the stand, but he says
Speaker 1: that it was his idea to go upstairs. He was like,
Speaker 1: all right, you know, let's stop making out of the pool.
Speaker 1: Let's bring this somewhere else. This doesn't make her not
Speaker 1: in the wrong, She's one hundred percent in the wrong.
Speaker 1: She's a predator. That's disgusting that he's sixteen. He's a kid,
Speaker 1: for god's sake. You're an attractive woman. You could get
Speaker 1: a guy on your own. Not that that should matter.
Speaker 1: You just can't be with kids, okay, it's an easy
Speaker 1: thing to avoid your whole life. Don't have sex with kids, okay,
Speaker 1: And yet she does it. So she's a monster. But
Speaker 1: for him, like he knew exactly what he was doing,
Speaker 1: I think you knew exactly what he was doing. His
Speaker 1: mother started crying in the courtroom, and then yeah, they
Speaker 1: kicked her out of the courtroom. Sorry, if you're just
Speaker 1: tuning in, he didn't hear any of this. This is
Speaker 1: like a whiplage, juicy, guys. The story, I know is
Speaker 1: like a whiplage. But here's some more from this report
Speaker 1: from KPOC.
Speaker 9: That's right, Canthio.
Speaker 1: We did here.
Speaker 9: Today two guilty verdicts come out of the jury for
Speaker 9: felony knal knowledge and felony indecent behavior.
Speaker 1: With the juvenile.
Speaker 9: After that verdict was read, it was emotions came out
Speaker 9: in the coortum. The victim's mother began crying, she was
Speaker 9: asked to leave, and then Misty Roberts began sobbing. Ultimately,
Speaker 9: I'm sure that happened, began discussing what was going to
Speaker 9: happen with her sensing we know that sentencing date is April.
Speaker 1: Seventh, so she got to walk away. She just got
Speaker 1: to walk away from the courtroom after being found guilty
Speaker 1: out on bond. I'm sure.
Speaker 24: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They're waiting for her sentencing, so she's free right now.
Speaker 20: Eighth of this year.
Speaker 9: We also know that Roberts was accused of having sex
Speaker 9: with a teen at a twenty twenty four pool party
Speaker 9: while she was mayor, and today there was more shocking
Speaker 9: testimony from the team at the center of the trial.
Speaker 9: He took the stand today and described in detail what
Speaker 9: he says happened the night of the alleged incident. He
Speaker 9: testified Roberts was really drunk, and he'd also been drinking heavily.
Speaker 9: He then told Juris they had sex. He testified that
Speaker 9: afterwards he realized what was happening. He claims Roberts and
Speaker 9: her son got into a fight, in which she allegenate,
Speaker 9: go fight your friend.
Speaker 1: He's the one who did it, right, God, So the
Speaker 1: son and the mom get in a fight because the
Speaker 1: mom had sex with his sixteen year old friend is
Speaker 1: the one that banged me, and she don't fight with me,
Speaker 1: fight with him. He is the one who banged me.
Speaker 3: Baby, my god.
Speaker 1: Chusing arguments, the jerry deliberated for under.
Speaker 9: An hour now just as we wrapped up court today
Speaker 9: and we got that date for that hearing April seventeenth
Speaker 9: at nine am. There was issues that came up in court. Ultimately,
Speaker 9: the judge first at first said that she was going
Speaker 9: to be taken back in the custody and said at
Speaker 9: a one hundred thousand dollars bond, But the defense team
Speaker 9: argued that there's some sort of stipulation with her original
Speaker 9: bond that may make it to where she does.
Speaker 1: Not have to be taken into cargel budd court right
Speaker 1: now discussality.
Speaker 9: Came outside just to tell you guys about this alter.
Speaker 1: That she got out on a technicality because of an
Speaker 1: earlier deal that they made, and she was released. For
Speaker 1: those of you asking questions, is she still the mayor?
Speaker 1: Says Ted, No, she is not the mayor of Deridter
Speaker 1: of Louisiana anymore mayor of Poundtown. She was the mayor
Speaker 1: of Poundtown for that particular night. She is currently a
Speaker 1: free woman until at least her April seventeenth sentencing date,
Speaker 1: and says cardinal knowledge carries a sentence of up to
Speaker 1: ten years in prison, while in decent behavior carries a
Speaker 1: sentence of up to seven years. And sex offender, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she'll be required to register as a Tier one sex offender.
Speaker 5: Now the you know part of being a registered sex
Speaker 5: offender you cannot be around children.
Speaker 3: Does that change if you're if you have children.
Speaker 1: I believe it does.
Speaker 3: What do you mean, like like her son lives with her,
Speaker 3: right or no?
Speaker 2: She would be able to see her own kids still.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if she, I mean, she carries up to
Speaker 1: seventeen years in prison. So if her son, sorry, sorry
Speaker 1: trying to thank you.
Speaker 4: If her you know, if she does do a couple
Speaker 4: of years in prison. Likely her kid will be of age.
Speaker 4: Now she has multiple kids, but you know by the
Speaker 4: time she gets out of prison that that might not
Speaker 4: be an issue.
Speaker 1: Roberts, I'm so sorry. I know I what he said.
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff. It was all it was important,
Speaker 1: it was good. I two videos started playing at the
Speaker 1: same time. I don't know where it came from.
Speaker 3: I'm crazy to take away, has drop. Slinger privileges no.
Speaker 1: No, don't take away, and he drops, like going to
Speaker 1: play the audio for the show. I need that now.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of relying on it. All right, there we go,
Speaker 2: give us your comments.
Speaker 3: Take for your commentary, Celan, I appreciated your take.
Speaker 1: Mister Roberts. What do we think is an appropriate sentence
Speaker 1: for Misty Roberts? What do we think time behind bars?
Speaker 1: We know she's going to be registered as a sex offender.
Speaker 1: With everything considered, this woman is a mother who had
Speaker 1: a party and got all her son's sixteen year old
Speaker 1: friends drunk, had sex with one of them at the party.
Speaker 1: People were aware of it and like filming it through
Speaker 1: the window and all of that stuff. And she has
Speaker 1: been found guilty of this cardinal knowledge and whatever the
Speaker 1: other charge was how long?
Speaker 9: What? What?
Speaker 1: What would be a sentence that was fair in this situation,
Speaker 1: because I mean it's one of these stories where I mean,
Speaker 1: she could face a long time behind bars, she could
Speaker 1: get a slap on the wrist, you never know.
Speaker 5: But what would have to compare because we've seen teachers
Speaker 5: who don't get any jail time. We've seen teachers who
Speaker 5: have gone multiple years, even a decade.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: It depends ten years, ten years. I was gonna say three.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll go with five.
Speaker 1: No, you can go with whatever you want. No answer,
Speaker 1: there's no there's no right or wrong answer. It's just
Speaker 1: what you think is a fair punishment for somebody. MFQ says,
Speaker 1: I know somebody who got ten years, but for her,
Speaker 1: I think it should be more.
Speaker 3: Fifteen years knowingly did it.
Speaker 5: And then even the back and forth that we've heard
Speaker 5: about the text messages and yeah, conversations like I'm not
Speaker 5: hearing any remorse.
Speaker 1: One week in the boys prison. Come on, you guys,
Speaker 1: it's definitely gonna be a movie about this. Three to
Speaker 1: five years. I think that this is what those things
Speaker 1: where if it wasn't an attractive blonde woman and it was.
Speaker 2: Some like gnarly looking troll.
Speaker 1: Okay, guy roles on his face with hair coming out.
Speaker 4: We we did have a story yesterday where the person
Speaker 4: in question was a little less attractive than than the
Speaker 4: person we're talking about now. And and the person the
Speaker 4: student in question, maybe that was the one that was
Speaker 4: third degree rape. The student in question actually told her
Speaker 4: to get off at one point, not in the fun way, not.
Speaker 3: In the you know, you know, flirting.
Speaker 5: Back admitted that he was the one that came up
Speaker 5: with the idea versus other cases in which there's grooming
Speaker 5: and it's not the other party though underage and cannot
Speaker 5: technically consent.
Speaker 2: I think that should be factored in now.
Speaker 1: I do the fact that he yes escalated, the fact
Speaker 1: that not only did he escalate it, but he's like
Speaker 1: dropping jokes on text messages with his afterwards. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that it shows the state of mind that
Speaker 1: he has. And his mom might be crying, and I
Speaker 1: could see why his mom would be upset and all
Speaker 1: of those things. But I can tell you being somebody
Speaker 1: who was a sixteen year old boy, and if I was,
Speaker 1: if I lived through exactly these same circumstances, I would
Speaker 1: have come out on the other side, and most sixteen
Speaker 1: year old boys would fine. I wouldn't come out like
Speaker 1: he's ruined and mentally damaged for the rest of his life. No,
Speaker 1: he got drunk at a party like so many sixteen
Speaker 1: year olds do. He banged him along, he banged a mom.
Speaker 2: He'd gotten involved in a legendary story.
Speaker 1: He'll probably be the equivalent of who's the guy who
Speaker 1: takes his shirt off all the time and tells this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll probably be like a Bert Kreischer in fifteen years
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Are you referring to the recent.
Speaker 2: News of Burt No, I have what's recent?
Speaker 3: I don't know, sorrying to.
Speaker 5: Make the rounds on social media, but a parent at
Speaker 5: one point there was a joke or a discussion, either
Speaker 5: in the new show that he does or on the
Speaker 5: podcast that was it weird that he became aroused when
Speaker 5: his kid was sitting.
Speaker 1: On his lap. That is pretty weird. That's curb your
Speaker 1: enthusiasm levels of weird, and only Larry David can usually
Speaker 1: get away with that stuff.
Speaker 3: Sorry to deter, but that's now all I can think
Speaker 3: of with the shirt off as well.
Speaker 2: I have not seen his his show. It's not really
Speaker 2: my cup of.
Speaker 1: Tea necessarily, but yeah, all right, let's tell me you
Speaker 1: think what's the fair punishment.
Speaker 2: We want to hear from you before The Power Hour
Speaker 2: wraps up on the show.
Speaker 1: Give us your thoughts with a dispatch at thenewsjunkie dot
Speaker 1: com or tips tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. We'll
Speaker 1: get into some of that feedback that's coming up next. Also,
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about a bus driver from
Speaker 1: Hell and those Iran updates will be next. Everything going
Speaker 1: on there, including there was a closed door meeting and
Speaker 1: I've got the reaction from people up there. They came
Speaker 1: out of this closed door meeting. I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about whether you believe them or not and what we
Speaker 1: think about this. I'll play those and we'll get into
Speaker 1: everything else as The Power Hour rolls on. Its coming
Speaker 1: up next on the News Junkie. All right, we're back.
Speaker 1: We've got more things to get into in the Power Hour.
Speaker 1: Gas prices I'm sure just soaring as we're speaking today.
Speaker 1: Let's see how things are going on the stock market
Speaker 1: with this whole war in Iran thing going on out there. Well,
Speaker 1: the Dow doesn't seem to be reacting in too negatively
Speaker 1: a way.
Speaker 2: It's up today at least to bend down.
Speaker 1: The Tao is up two hundred and fifty five points
Speaker 1: at forty eight seven fifty six. It's kind of funny
Speaker 1: that that one lady said the Tao is in fifty thousand,
Speaker 1: and so now when the doaw isn't at fifty thousand,
Speaker 1: it's like, I always think of that woman's sad.
Speaker 5: We followed up on the Epstein question that she was
Speaker 5: supposed to answer, why don't you scream about the deck?
Speaker 1: Not sure, but it seems to matter now because the
Speaker 1: dow isn't at fifty thousand, We're at forty eight seven
Speaker 1: fifty six at least for the moment. Let's get into
Speaker 1: some updates on the Iran situation. Here's what's happening. There's
Speaker 1: a war going on. We're bombing the hell out of Iran.
Speaker 1: I think they talked about it press conferentarily. Let me
Speaker 1: see if I can bring up that clip where the
Speaker 1: White House Press secretary was like, we are annihilating them,
Speaker 1: we are just blowing them away, which is probably true.
Speaker 1: And it looks like Iran was one of those paper
Speaker 1: tigers you hear about where they talked tough I mean
Speaker 1: not long before this, the leader, the Supreme leader of Iran,
Speaker 1: when talking about negotiating with the United States of America,
Speaker 1: was like death to America.
Speaker 2: If you come at us, we will stump you out.
Speaker 1: We will kill you all like cockroaches. And he was
Speaker 1: over the top and saying if you mess with Iran,
Speaker 1: you will get the heat of a thous fires, you know,
Speaker 1: the end of a million blades at your neck. And
Speaker 1: after all of that, it's like, well, maybe not.
Speaker 4: Well after that, the woman who was reporting on the
Speaker 4: Ayatola's death on like the state run television channel that
Speaker 4: was threatening the president of the United States saying how
Speaker 4: he was going to pay for it. She said, specifically,
Speaker 4: he was going to pay for it in a way
Speaker 4: that no president has ever paid before.
Speaker 1: I was like, presidents have gotten shot to death. What
Speaker 1: is the way that he's going to pay like no
Speaker 1: other president has paid before? Double shot. Here here it is,
Speaker 1: here's the press secretary at the White House talking about
Speaker 1: how things are going in Iran. Here, and they'll bring
Speaker 1: you behind closed doors.
Speaker 25: Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, the rogue
Speaker 25: Iranian terrorist regime is being absolutely crushed. Forty seven years
Speaker 25: of tolerating and enabling the world's leading states sponsor of
Speaker 25: terrorism are over. Iran's murderous terrorist leaders are paying for
Speaker 25: their crimes against America, and they are paying in blood.
Speaker 1: Message going in, They're paying in blood, she said at
Speaker 1: the White House. And what did she say? Absolutely hold on,
Speaker 1: let me.
Speaker 25: Bring it back, President Donald J.
Speaker 1: Trump.
Speaker 25: The rogue Iraqian terrorist regime is being absolutely crushed.
Speaker 1: Absolutely crushed. That's what's happening over there. Now. There was
Speaker 1: a big doug There was a big meeting, and I'll
Speaker 1: bring you into the response after that big meeting. But
Speaker 1: a couple other clips I have on Iran. One this
Speaker 1: was a wacky one, very weird. A mysterious shortwave radio
Speaker 1: station has popped up over time. These have been used
Speaker 1: to send secret messages around seeing find the Wikipedia on
Speaker 1: these What are the short wave like secret radio stations
Speaker 1: called him no no, look up shortwave secret military radio station,
Speaker 1: find the Wikipedia. It's some there's a name for them,
Speaker 1: but I can't think of it right now. Code station,
Speaker 1: something like that. And they they you go to these
Speaker 1: short wave stations and you hear this mystery message. No no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no number stations, number stations that's it. Hold
Speaker 1: that hold the number stations wiki up if you have that,
Speaker 1: and here's one of them, because this just popped up
Speaker 1: coming out of wrong.
Speaker 8: This is it.
Speaker 6: That's weird, all right.
Speaker 1: So there's this long string of letters. Those are letters
Speaker 1: in Arabic or whatever. I guess Arabic might be the
Speaker 1: written language Farci maybe that they're giving out here on
Speaker 1: this frequency. And it's either a message being beamed in
Speaker 1: to Iran for like people in the government who are
Speaker 1: going to try to topple the government, or out of
Speaker 1: Iran for a message for like you know, for their
Speaker 1: secret ops who are all over the world. You never
Speaker 1: know what these are. You have no idea what these
Speaker 1: actually are. They're called what are they called again? Number
Speaker 1: of stations? Number station? What's the wiki say on that?
Speaker 1: Because they're kind of interesting. The shortwave radio station and
Speaker 1: it's shortwave shortwave radio station.
Speaker 7: He said radio.
Speaker 1: But that's okay.
Speaker 2: You just trying to listen to him.
Speaker 4: Characterized by broadcasts of formatted numbers, which are believed to
Speaker 4: be addressed to intelligence officers operating in foreign countries.
Speaker 3: In countries.
Speaker 4: Most identified, the stations use speech synthesis to vocalize the numbers.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what we heard.
Speaker 4: Although digital modes such as face shifting, king of frequency
Speaker 4: gifting shifting, as well as morse code transmissions are not uncommon.
Speaker 1: The one that I was reading about yesterday, I may
Speaker 1: or may not have been to the bathroom. This is
Speaker 1: what I take into the bathroom. Attention On is the
Speaker 1: one that I was reading about where they talk about
Speaker 1: the station in Cuba that became the world's first number
Speaker 1: station to be officially and publicly accused of transmitting to spies.
Speaker 1: It was the centerpiece of the United States Federal Court
Speaker 1: espionage trial following the rest of the WASP network of
Speaker 1: Cuban spies in nineteen ninety eight. The US prosecutors claimed
Speaker 1: they were using this shortwave radio station it was just
Speaker 1: like the one you just heard coming out of Iran.
Speaker 1: Now with this war going on, and they were writing
Speaker 1: down number CODs received from Attention On using Sony handheld
Speaker 1: shortwave receivers and typing the numbers into laptop computers that
Speaker 1: would decode the spying instructions. Some of the messages that
Speaker 1: were gathered were like prioritize and continue to strengthen for
Speaker 1: the friendship with Joe and Dennis under no circumstances should
Speaker 1: agents German or Castro fly with BTTR or any other
Speaker 1: organizations on Day's twenty four, twenty six, and twenty seven.
Speaker 1: That's a CIA affiliated group, the BTTR congratulate all the
Speaker 1: female comrades for International Day of the Woman. They would
Speaker 1: they would give them all these names, and they would
Speaker 1: give them instructions and stuff. And that's what happens on
Speaker 1: these number stations. And now there's one just blasting in Iran.
Speaker 5: After all of this sounds so creepy. Immediately reminded me
Speaker 5: of long legs. Yeah, does that scratchy?
Speaker 1: Yeah. The fact that it's like a clear signal makes
Speaker 1: it much more nefarious sounding. Meanwhile, here's another clip. I'm
Speaker 1: working through some of these here. This one was on CNN,
Speaker 1: where I guess all hell broke loose. They thought they
Speaker 1: were gonna get hit with a rocket in the middle
Speaker 1: of a broadcast. Here's CNN things coming in. So we
Speaker 1: are going to just Unmike Daily unlike and then go
Speaker 1: downstairs just running the mic. Pretty ramatic, Yeah, really, just
Speaker 1: that's pretty dramatic. Pull out and run go. We're just
Speaker 1: going to get onto this camera, all right, and we're
Speaker 1: kidding me. Is she going to keep the interview going?
Speaker 1: She's got another mic now, I think she might be
Speaker 1: keeping the interview going, Dan, you can you can just
Speaker 1: air raid sirens going off. Okay, this is in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Speaker 3: All right, guys start breaking down the equipment if you can't, please.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't mind.
Speaker 26: I'm gonna keep going all right, I'm gonna just move
Speaker 26: slowly here while Dan's coming with me.
Speaker 3: Dan, okay, is he about to attend?
Speaker 26: We're gonna move so you hear the sirens now. And
Speaker 26: this is all around the area that we're in in
Speaker 26: Tel Aviv, So that initial warning.
Speaker 3: It was about I think five or six minutes.
Speaker 1: Dan, Okay, they're not freaking out as much as I
Speaker 1: would be keeping all.
Speaker 27: Right, this this could be fire from Lebanon as well
Speaker 27: from the Iranian instructed Hizbollah, which is part of this
Speaker 27: is part of the Iranian regime strategy of voice bloss warfare.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I could keep the interview.
Speaker 5: It's up Barbara walters pace when she does that brow
Speaker 5: and they walk along the lake, but there's bombs headed
Speaker 5: their way.
Speaker 1: But Sean, are you crapping your pants right now? Yeah, yep,
Speaker 1: I am. I'm not going to be able to string
Speaker 1: together any good sentences for you here. Yes, I am.
Speaker 27: No, it's going right now as many as much missiles
Speaker 27: coming from it could be the houties in Yemen, we
Speaker 27: don't know.
Speaker 1: But this is the Iranian regime survival strategy. If you
Speaker 1: wait long enough, you can read the pieces of the
Speaker 1: bomb left over track.
Speaker 27: The world attention away from the Iranian front itself.
Speaker 2: All right, there you go. They're in the middle of
Speaker 2: the live shot.
Speaker 1: They end up doing the interview as they're going away
Speaker 1: to stay in one of these you know, these secure areas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go to the bomb shelter. I guess for the duration
Speaker 1: of that, but they stayed on. Here's another one making
Speaker 1: the rounds five million views. This was Trump being asked
Speaker 1: who should be Iran's new leader? Here he goes, Now,
Speaker 1: as you.
Speaker 24: Said, all the people you did have in mind that
Speaker 24: take it out, Well, most of the people we had
Speaker 24: in mind a dead. So you know we had some
Speaker 24: in mind from that group that is is dead, and
Speaker 24: now we have another group. They may be dead also
Speaker 24: based on reports. So I guess you have a third
Speaker 24: wave coming. And I'm pretty sure we're not.
Speaker 1: Going to know anybody, So he said, who's going to
Speaker 1: be the next leader, Well, we had somebody in mind,
Speaker 1: but all died.
Speaker 4: He doesn't really like to put a big emphasis on
Speaker 4: the word dead dead dead dead.
Speaker 1: And then they said, well then we had a second
Speaker 1: round of people, but now they may be all dead
Speaker 1: because they were going to determine who is going to
Speaker 1: be the next leader of Iran. And then they bombed
Speaker 1: that meeting as well. Things looking pretty dire if you
Speaker 1: look at what Iran is doing output wise. On Saturday
Speaker 1: in Israel, there were one hundred and seventy six warning
Speaker 1: sirens like the one you just heard. On Sunday, it
Speaker 1: went from one hundred and seventy six to one hundred
Speaker 1: and five. On Monday, it dropped to just forty two.
Speaker 1: On Tuesday it was down to thirty seven sirens. That
Speaker 1: means there are less missiles incoming into Israel that's the
Speaker 1: big target here, and less coming from Iran, less coming
Speaker 1: from any of Iran's actual allies, and less in the
Speaker 1: stockpile that Iran actually has. And they've been releasing stuff
Speaker 1: like this two point three million views this video of
Speaker 1: an Iranian missile hitting a US ship all right. The
Speaker 1: problem with this the US ship in question is they
Speaker 1: said the Soyuz missile is the missile that they fired,
Speaker 1: and the Yamatto the Yamato, I guess sank in April
Speaker 1: of nineteen forty five, so that this was not legitimate
Speaker 1: from the Iranians. They did not actually shoot down one
Speaker 1: of our ships. And the name of the missile that
Speaker 1: they used in this video was a space carrier. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think they've they were lying a little bit on
Speaker 1: that particular one. Speaking of lions, I see this, speaking
Speaker 1: of lying, I should say, speaking of lying, I see
Speaker 1: this everywhere today and they're saying, look, the Israelis are
Speaker 1: bombing fake fighter jets that are just etched into the ground,
Speaker 1: like they made a giant fighter jet into the land,
Speaker 1: and they thought that they were bombing an actual fighter jet,
Speaker 1: but instead it was like the equivalent of like going
Speaker 1: into a field and making one of those alien type
Speaker 1: messages or whatever that cross circles. But on the ground,
Speaker 1: you on a planet Earth, they made a gigantic thing
Speaker 1: that looks like it's a plane, and they said the
Speaker 1: Israelis were bombing this. This is old footage, so it's
Speaker 1: it's not new but it's making the rounds right now.
Speaker 1: There's another one where it's like, oh, they thought they
Speaker 1: were bombing a helicopter, but it wasn't really a helicopter.
Speaker 1: It was just they made something on the ground that
Speaker 1: looked like a helicopter if you were flying over with radar.
Speaker 1: These are from I think two thousand, twenty five June sixteenth.
Speaker 1: They're from the Twelve Day War June sixteenth, but they're
Speaker 1: making the rounds, As is the story which was going
Speaker 1: megaviral yesterday where they said the three jets, the three
Speaker 1: F fifteen's that were shot down accidentally in Kuwait were
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars, which is more than Doze saved.
Speaker 2: But that was incorrect.
Speaker 1: Dose shot news. Dose saved a lot more than that,
Speaker 1: but it would have been like kind of a catchy thing.
Speaker 1: That's why I went viral. People were like, all the
Speaker 1: money we saved, the Doge, we just lost because there
Speaker 1: was three US fighters that were accidentally shot down by
Speaker 1: the Kuwaitis, so we wasted more money. That was not true.
Speaker 1: It was not accurate, but it did show up everywhere.
Speaker 1: Just in case you see that, that, my friends, is
Speaker 1: what we call fake news. Yes, indeed, all right, now
Speaker 1: you know, now, you know, back in a moment with
Speaker 1: the closed door clips that I have all so I'll
Speaker 1: try to get to this bus driver story that I
Speaker 1: tease and then everything else to wrap up the show
Speaker 1: for a Wednesday. That is all coming up next on
Speaker 1: the news Junkie. All right, A lot to do in
Speaker 1: a little bit of time on the way out. First
Speaker 1: things first, big thanks to sun State John again, he's
Speaker 1: on top of the gifted scoreboard. He just gifted twenty
Speaker 1: five subs. I know he's out of control. Let somebody

Speaker 17: Laugh.
Speaker 11: But that's what she signed up for. But the reason
Speaker 11: where Iran is blatantly obvious. If they get nuclear missiles
Speaker 11: at any point, they will shoot them at our ships,
Speaker 11: at US, at nearby countries.
Speaker 1: It's obvious.
Speaker 11: Anybody that says, well, I need to know why we're
Speaker 11: over there, you need to get a clue because once
Speaker 11: they get nuclear capabilities, they will use them immediately to
Speaker 11: destroy Israel, US, our troops, our bases, anybody they can attack,
Speaker 11: they will use them.
Speaker 1: All right.

Speaker 1: Over at the Newsjunkie dot com. Click dispatches and you
Speaker 1: can see what everybody said. The story that didn't make
Speaker 1: the cut today The bus driver a Montgomery County bus
Speaker 1: driver in Pennsylvania. Officials have issued in a restaurant for
Speaker 1: the bus driver after they say the person drove a
Speaker 1: bus filled with children while having a blood alcohol level.
Speaker 2: Four times the legal limit.
Speaker 1: Oh wow. Kelly Weber, forty six, charged with driving under
Speaker 1: the influence fifty counts of endangering the welfare of Chiam.
Speaker 1: She had an open seven to fifty of Tito's vodka,
Speaker 1: two empty fifty mill bottles of Tito's vodka, and a
Speaker 1: receipt from Fine Wine and Good Spirits for nine to
Speaker 1: twenty two am on the bus.
Speaker 3: For all her first time driving those kids drunk.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. She had a point three to
Speaker 1: three to one alcohol level. That's a lot. Point three
Speaker 1: to three one is real steep. And then her THHC
Speaker 1: level was a six point six. But I don't know
Speaker 1: what the hell that means. I've yeah, I've never heard
Speaker 1: a measurement for THHD level THCHC level six point six.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? High siltzers my last TJI on
Speaker 1: the way out. If I had a THC level of
Speaker 1: six point six, what does that mean?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 1: How many ounces or grams of weed or whatever?
Speaker 7: Let's see.
Speaker 28: The THHC level of six point six usually refers to
Speaker 28: the concentration of heetohydrocannabinol in your system wow, often measured
Speaker 28: in nanograms per milli leader in a blood test. It
Speaker 28: doesn't translate directly to a specific amount in grams or
Speaker 28: ounces of weed consumed.
Speaker 1: Because it's because of your like size and your weight.
Speaker 3: And the six point seems a lot.
Speaker 1: I guess that's a lot. They were drunk and high
Speaker 1: as hell at the almost crashed the bus. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: that doesn't surprise me at all. All right, let's get
