Speaker 2: How's everybody doing on a Friday? Good? How are you good? Good?
Speaker 2: All is well in my world? And you know it's
Speaker 2: just I woke up today. Done this before in my life,
Speaker 2: I don't think. And I was like, I should be
Speaker 2: appreciative of the things that I have. Life is good music.
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe a secret show's set me a
Speaker 2: little bit more last night than it should have, but yeah,
Speaker 2: well come, I was like, I'm a fortunate man. I've
Speaker 2: got a beautiful partner. Like I was like, just like
Speaker 2: things are going well, you know, And I don't know
Speaker 2: why that means things are gonna go terrible today, though,
Speaker 2: doesn't it. It's like this could be a bad thing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not. It's a bad omen for the show, I think.
Speaker 2: So let's see what happens. Let's put her ears to
Speaker 2: the ground, our fingers in the pulse list. See what's
Speaker 2: going on to this great, big, wide world of ours.
Speaker 2: We go to a man eating in his car. Everybody,
Speaker 2: that's right. This particular gentleman is deciding to try out something.
Speaker 2: He's a food reviewer, I guess, and he wants to
Speaker 2: try the new Rby's offering, the Angus cheese steak. So
Speaker 2: you know it's the can Josh, maybe we should treat
Speaker 2: ourselves with something here. Maybe this is good. Let's see
Speaker 2: what he says. This is a guy in his car
Speaker 2: trying out the RB sandwich. Let's was it in?
Speaker 4: I'm here at my local Arby's to try their brand
Speaker 4: new Philly cheese steaks.
Speaker 2: This is what it looks like. Let's take a bike
Speaker 2: for the record. I love Arby's. Army's never had a
Speaker 2: cheese I don't know, big bite?
Speaker 5: Oh no, nope, nope.
Speaker 2: Well why don't you like it? Tell us mann't buy that?
Speaker 2: That's it, we can't. I saw this guy who's been
Speaker 2: going viral for his food reviews. It's this old man
Speaker 2: and he has like seventy six cameras in his car,
Speaker 2: and he cruises through the drive through and he's like,
Speaker 2: really nice, and he makes his order for what he's
Speaker 2: gonna get, and the you know, the piping hot food
Speaker 2: comes in and he puts a thermometer in it, and
Speaker 2: he's looking at seven different cameras and he goes, WHOA,
Speaker 2: this one's hot and served and ready to go. And
Speaker 2: then this guy just goes, don't do it, don't do it,
Speaker 2: don't try it out if you've tried it. And maybe
Speaker 2: this guy's wrong. And RB's is onto something, let us know.
Speaker 2: But he says, no, good two point three million views
Speaker 2: on his review. Not great for RB. He's not a
Speaker 2: swell day for the Rby's folks. Yeah, yeah, that's even
Speaker 2: worse than than what I've got going on over here.
Speaker 2: Somebody says Sean Fields extra good because he shipped off
Speaker 2: the spider curse. Maybe that's it. Maybe it's because of
Speaker 2: the spider curse. Magnet I had a curse in my studio.
Speaker 2: I transferred it over to the magnets and shipped it
Speaker 2: off to you lovely listeners, so we're able to grab those.
Speaker 6: I just remembered I have one of them in my bag.
Speaker 6: I need to I need to get shipped off the
Speaker 6: Bradshaw's office asap.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can send it away. It's got a piece
Speaker 2: of the curse with it, each one of them. I
Speaker 2: rubbed it in the spot on the desk where I
Speaker 2: killed the spider. It just transfers right over. Whether you
Speaker 2: like it or not, that's just how it shows. Sucks
Speaker 2: because it's a really great magnet. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 2: a good design and I look at that. That's a
Speaker 2: fun magnet right there. But cursed. That is cursed. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's curse. Yeah, we have to remember that at the
Speaker 2: end of the day. I want to talk about this
Speaker 2: because it's not getting a lot of discussion yet, but
Speaker 2: I really think it needs to. And the first thing
Speaker 2: I saw was somebody sent me in an email at
Speaker 2: the tips at the News Junkie dot com that their
Speaker 2: local liquor store was sending out emails and they were saying, hey,
Speaker 2: we knew it was coming. Eventually, the deadline is approaching.
Speaker 2: The THC Drinks if you don't do anything about it.
Speaker 2: They're going to be illegal, They're going to be removed
Speaker 2: from the shelves. This thing that that I think, you know,
Speaker 2: this is so crazy to me, actually, like just just
Speaker 2: on the reel here. The way I see this is
Speaker 2: THHC drinks have angered the alcohol companies because a lot
Speaker 2: of people have lowered their intake of alcohol and switched
Speaker 2: over to THCHC. I see THHD drinks as far less
Speaker 2: harmless to your health and to other humans than any
Speaker 2: alcoholic beverage could possibly be. I see THHD companies as
Speaker 2: new upstarts, most of them who don't have the lobbying
Speaker 2: money that the liquor companies have and the politicians in
Speaker 2: Washington and all of their wisdom. These losers decided to
Speaker 2: sneak through in another bill something that would make it
Speaker 2: so the THHD drinks would be illegal. And to me,
Speaker 2: that clearly comes because of a pressure campaign from the
Speaker 2: liquor companies. I think the THHD drinks are good. It's
Speaker 2: a good product, and I think it's good for the
Speaker 2: health of Americans. You might think I'm crazy for saying that.
Speaker 5: You're crazy for saying that you're crazy for other reasons,
Speaker 5: but not for saying that.
Speaker 2: I believe it. I think that's absolutely the truth. I
Speaker 2: think it gets people to go another direction other than alcohol.
Speaker 2: And alcohol even though I like it, even though you
Speaker 2: deserve it sometimes and you know you do you, I
Speaker 2: think that alcohol is worse for you physically in every
Speaker 2: measurable way than one of these THHD drinks. But now
Speaker 2: here's one of the stories attached to this. People are
Speaker 2: getting emails like crazy, But THHD drinks face a federal
Speaker 2: deadline that could upend the market. They reached two hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty nine million dollars in retail sales, but a
Speaker 2: federal rule taking effect November twelfth could push most hemp
Speaker 2: derived drinks outside the legal hemp market, making your favorite
Speaker 2: THC drink illegal with a capital I why? Why? Because it?
Speaker 2: Am I crazy? Am I making this up? Didn't we
Speaker 2: see stories that said one hundred percent the liquor industry
Speaker 2: saw an impact of the sales of this, like a
Speaker 2: reduction in sales of alcohol, right, sir. That's why the
Speaker 2: distributors are in the THC drink business. Now, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: why you buy them from the liquor store and they
Speaker 2: make a ton of money, a ton of money off
Speaker 2: of it. But this just doesn't make any sense. This
Speaker 2: isn't hurting anybody, as best I can tell, this is
Speaker 2: only helping people. For me if I have a night
Speaker 2: where I'm not drinking that much. I know this is
Speaker 2: a personal thing for me, but they help me sleep.
Speaker 2: They help me get a good night sleep. I don't
Speaker 2: want to take sleeping pills. I don't like taking medication
Speaker 2: that I don't need. In the THD drinks I think
Speaker 2: are a godsend for this. I get a nice night
Speaker 2: sleep from these things. I'm not cheating chong in it
Speaker 2: over here. I'm just kind of I have a reasonable
Speaker 2: about Here's the thing I would say, I'm not cheating
Speaker 2: chonging it, but literally one of the brands of THHC
Speaker 2: drink that I purchase on occasion is the cheating Shong brand.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, so you are cheating Chong, but this
Speaker 2: is I'm not high as a kite, you know, I'm
Speaker 2: not Bongo the stone Crab over here. I'm not getting high.
Speaker 2: I'm just like, I'm relaxing on this drink in These
Speaker 2: stupid politicians bought off by allegedly liquor companies on K Street,
Speaker 2: lobbyists they are now going to remove this option that
Speaker 2: a lot of people I think enjoy. And tell me
Speaker 2: what you think about this, but it says what happens
Speaker 2: to a two hundred and thirty nine million dollar drink
Speaker 2: category when federal law threatens the dose in nearly every
Speaker 2: cam hemp derived THHD beverages that move quickly from cannabis
Speaker 2: shops into liquor stores, grocery owls, and convenience store coolers.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine if this goes through in November? They
Speaker 2: make it illegal On November twelfth, you can no longer
Speaker 2: buy THHC. And you're buying THHC from some drug dealer
Speaker 2: on the streets or something like I'm old.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like we used to do in high schools.
Speaker 2: We're bringing it back, baby. I'm slipping a fiver to
Speaker 2: a nefarious character on the the worst street in town. Bucks.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna get you anywhere. We're not bring it
Speaker 2: that far back. I'm slipping a hundo to get a
Speaker 2: you know, a twelve pack of the illegal stuff so
Speaker 2: I can get a nice night's sleep. What the hell, man,
Speaker 2: what's going on here? Four packs look familiar. The flavors
Speaker 2: sound like modern sparkling. Water blah blah blah. The commercial
Speaker 2: run now has an expiration data attached to it. Cyanara
Speaker 2: Slater Audios Muchacho. Of federal law scheduled to take effect
Speaker 2: on November twelve, twenty twenty six, changes the definition of
Speaker 2: hemp final. Consumer products containing more than point four milligrams
Speaker 2: of total THHC and similar intoxicating cannabinoids per container will
Speaker 2: no longer qualify as hemp. The Congressional Research Services says
Speaker 2: products excluded from definition would instead become subject to the
Speaker 2: Federal Control Substances Act, as marijuana is currently so point
Speaker 2: four milligrams, isn't that like everything on the shelves at
Speaker 2: the store, all of the THC drinks is are any
Speaker 2: under that?
Speaker 5: No, it doesn't even do anything at point four milligrams. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's like a non alcoholic beer. That's like you might
Speaker 5: have point five million. You know, abv.
Speaker 2: This is insane, and you should you should vote out
Speaker 2: every politician that does nothing about this. If they don't
Speaker 2: do anything, all of these losers that sit there and
Speaker 2: get obsessed, set obsessed about a bunch of stuff that
Speaker 2: nobody cares about all day long, trying to make viral
Speaker 2: clips online and then there's stuff like this where it's like,
Speaker 2: who is this hurting nobody? Nobody accept the liquor industry, right,
Speaker 2: But clearly it's not hurting anybody except the liquor industry
Speaker 2: for you to get a reasonable THHC drink At the
Speaker 2: end of the day, I haven't heard of one story,
Speaker 2: not one, And I follow this stuff to somebody has
Speaker 2: been out of control because they drank a THC drink.
Speaker 6: Do you think that the liquor industry is the biggest
Speaker 6: opponent to UH or like the biggest supporter of this
Speaker 6: being illegal or do you think that they're still like
Speaker 6: enough old oose in Washington in that.
Speaker 2: Here marijuana and go oh.
Speaker 6: No, it's bad. We gotta gotta do the kids. It's
Speaker 6: going to be marketed to the kids. Maybe, But think
Speaker 6: about it. Who else would be against this?
Speaker 2: Like the country has actually turned the tide on marijuana
Speaker 2: sea land as you've seen. Like, I think a lot
Speaker 2: of politicians are are for a lot of legalization or
Speaker 2: you know, legalization light type stuff. I think that's usually
Speaker 2: supported by both parties, you know, Republicans and Democrats alike.
Speaker 2: I think I think the only people against this are
Speaker 2: the people who are being impacted and Josh, can you
Speaker 2: look that up real quick? Like, I know I've seen
Speaker 2: something about liquor sales impacted by THHC drink offerings. I
Speaker 2: know I've seen that the sales have been down for
Speaker 2: this stuff because so many people have different options. Now,
Speaker 2: let me know if you could find something on that.
Speaker 2: But that's happening. Federal deadline in place. Not good. We
Speaker 2: have to fight for this U and Courtney just texted
Speaker 2: me and she says, the Harry Potter Room is going
Speaker 2: to turn into our THHC bunker. We're gonna hit though,
Speaker 2: We're gonna hit the store before November when they shut
Speaker 2: all this down. So I'm gonna I'm gonna get as
Speaker 2: much as I can.
Speaker 6: I've already thought of that, and it's like, what am I?
Speaker 6: What am I really gonna do? Am I gonna ration it?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 6: Am I gonna uh get a get a big storage
Speaker 6: container of th HC drinks and then yeah, eventually just
Speaker 6: run out?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? Or should I just go cold turkey? No?
Speaker 2: I mean how many? I'm gonna figure out how many
Speaker 2: I need for the rest of my life. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go three hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty five days a year. I got about, you know,
Speaker 2: a couple of years left to me. Here's how many
Speaker 2: I need. Don't say three, Josh Gez saying, I mean,
Speaker 2: I know, I said I could might aspire if you
Speaker 2: left any longer. I'm gonna store up as much of
Speaker 2: these things as I possibly can. Did you find any
Speaker 2: stories about the decline in liquor sales. I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 2: try and Okay, no worries. If there's not, just say
Speaker 2: you're wrong, Sean. But I'm almost positive to Oh, here
Speaker 2: we go. The category made small beside the one hundred
Speaker 2: and ten billion dollar off premise alcohol market. Its growth
Speaker 2: stands out because total alcohol dollars declined three point three
Speaker 2: percent during the same period, so the money shifted over
Speaker 2: to the THC, the new THHC drinks market, and shifted
Speaker 2: away from alcohol. Nothing in beer winer spirits is putting
Speaker 2: up numbers like that right now. So instead of competing,
Speaker 2: the liquor companies and the lobbyists for these companies, instead
Speaker 2: of competing with them, they've said, we are literally just
Speaker 2: gonna shut down our new competition and if nothing happens
Speaker 2: before November. That's just how it is. So let me know.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm alone, maybe you don't care about this at all.
Speaker 2: But if I'm not, send a dispatcher an email over
Speaker 2: on thenewsjunkie dot com. Right now, speaking of emails, let's
Speaker 2: get started. Ed emails the show about the Powerball story
Speaker 2: we discussed yesterday, the Powerball opening up internationally. I am
Speaker 2: firmly against this. I am boycotting the Powerball being an
Speaker 2: international thing. I think that the Powerball basically allows one
Speaker 2: person to steal money from all the other poor people
Speaker 2: who throw their money at the Powerball. So if somebody's
Speaker 2: going to steal from all the poor people who play
Speaker 2: the power Ball, then I think it should be an
Speaker 2: American I don't think we should have some brit who's like, oh,
Speaker 2: all the poor people in America threw their money in
Speaker 2: a pot and I ended up winning it. I don't
Speaker 2: like it. Neither does good English accent. You just did.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate that. Think I knew it was
Speaker 2: going to be a good day today. I knew it.
Speaker 2: I will not be playing the power Ball anymore. Ed
Speaker 2: says it's absolutely insane to have people in the United
Speaker 2: Kingdom playing for a chance to win. I feel like
Speaker 2: it's a scam. It's already sad that Jeffrey Epstein won
Speaker 2: the Mega Millions twice. It's also said that the suicide
Speaker 2: is suspect. How do I know if Jeffrey Epstein got
Speaker 2: away with what he did, fake his death and then
Speaker 2: moved to the United Kingdom, that's a definition of power ball,
Speaker 2: he segued, segued in the email. No, he segued at
Speaker 2: the beginning of the email. Wait, he started with on
Speaker 2: the I'll be playing the Powerball and Sean about this
Speaker 2: powerballty depty, He's like, how do I get them to
Speaker 2: talk about it on the show. There's not enough coverage
Speaker 2: of this. Here is Gustavo with an email to tips
Speaker 2: at the Newsyunkie dot com. This was about the freak
Speaker 2: guy saying he was going to kill these people on
Speaker 2: their doorbell cam yesterday. Gustavo says, I've never locked my
Speaker 2: front door, not growing up with my parents, nor as
Speaker 2: an adult. The only person who ever broke into my
Speaker 2: home was a cocaine dealer across the street from me
Speaker 2: when I lived in Miami. That was about thirty years ago.
Speaker 2: Now I live in a Lakeland complic a complex with
Speaker 2: more than one thousand nearly identical apartments. I'm currently traveling
Speaker 2: for sales at Alabama, and my front door is still unlocked,
Speaker 2: so trusted neighbors can care for my bird.
Speaker 6: Why does a cocaine dealer need to break into somebody's
Speaker 6: house to get more, yeah, more coin?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, that's that's how they got a really
Speaker 2: interesting business model. He's he's in Alabama traveling to sell stuff,
Speaker 2: and his front door of his house is not locked
Speaker 2: right now, so his neighbors could care for his bird.
Speaker 5: Say not, just give your neighbor a key to your house?
Speaker 2: Why not just give your neighbor the bird, whole bird
Speaker 2: over to the neighbor. Then you know you could do that.
Speaker 2: I have a camera of very little worse stealing, and
Speaker 2: I doubt anybody's walking past all my neighbors carrying my
Speaker 2: sixty five inch TV. I don't worship rocks or metal,
Speaker 2: so there's no expensive jewelry either. The one door I
Speaker 2: always lock is my backsliding glass door, because it opens
Speaker 2: to a common area where anyone can walk directly into
Speaker 2: my yard, he says. And one more here from another
Speaker 2: ed who says about food and the resurgence of these
Speaker 2: Emerald viral clips with the Emerald doing this thing. He says,
Speaker 2: I'm really glad that food is not fun anymore because
Speaker 2: I grew up with Julia Child Justin Wilson. I don't
Speaker 2: know who that is Emerald and my mom. Needless to say,
Speaker 2: I'm now two hundred and seventy pounds Sean, and it's
Speaker 2: all their fault. But I did enjoy myself getting to
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy pounds. Yuma says. Ed there he goes,
Speaker 2: You too can have a voice on the show email
Speaker 2: if you want to be anonymous, put that right up
Speaker 2: on top to tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. Real quick,
Speaker 2: I want to tell you that when we come back,
Speaker 2: we've got a pretty big bombshell update and a story
Speaker 2: I thought was just quiet in the Nancy Guthrie case.
Speaker 2: You know Savannah Guthrie from the Today Show that that person,
Speaker 2: the masked person, kidnapped her old mom and we hadn't
Speaker 2: heard much anything. But there's new info for once and
Speaker 2: it's pretty crazy. So I'll give you this bombshell update
Speaker 2: on that story. It's coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: I thought we were not going to hear anything else
Speaker 2: about the Nancy Guthrie case. And you might already be
Speaker 2: rolling your eyes in the back of your head, but
Speaker 2: bear with me on this because I think this is
Speaker 2: bombshell news. Like I think this was a big, big
Speaker 2: update on the story. If you're not familiar, Seelan, I'll
Speaker 2: explain this to you, Okay, I know you haven't heard
Speaker 2: much about this little tiny story whatever. There's a woman
Speaker 2: named Nancy Guthrie, and she's a old she related to
Speaker 2: Woody Guthrie. She's related to Savannah Guthrie. Yeah, from the Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 2: from the Today Show. Yeah. I mean you guys should
Speaker 2: know this, Josh, you should know this too. And Nancy
Speaker 2: Guthrie was kidnapped by some bizarre masked man who busted
Speaker 2: into her house in the middle of the night and
Speaker 2: took her. And then we knew there was some demand
Speaker 2: for money in bitcoin as a ransom to get the
Speaker 2: mother back, right, we knew that that was the case,
Speaker 2: And then we all knew that TMZ was straight up
Speaker 2: lying and being weird for like a year basically where
Speaker 2: they were like we got another we got another note
Speaker 2: from the kidnapper, and you go, this is definitely some
Speaker 2: crazy guy in his mother's basement. What are you doing here?
Speaker 2: But for real, there are new details from the Nancy
Speaker 2: Guthrie ransom note that are pretty wild, actually, and I
Speaker 2: think that we need to go over these because there
Speaker 2: was some stuff in here where I said, oh, I
Speaker 2: have no idea that that was the case. There is
Speaker 2: a podcast that got a hold of the ransom note,
Speaker 2: the one that they really do believe was from the
Speaker 2: kidnappers here, and this kind of changes my mind on
Speaker 2: how I feel about this entire case. Here we go.
Speaker 2: The latest revelations about the purported first ransom note and
Speaker 2: the Nancy Guthrie case appear inconsistent with the kidnapping for ransom.
Speaker 2: According to a retired FBI negotiator, if the fact that
Speaker 2: they wanted to cut off communication quickly suggest anything, it
Speaker 2: is that they may not have had kidnapping for ransom
Speaker 2: as a primary motive. Right this was one of the
Speaker 2: FBI people weighing in on this. When was this July
Speaker 2: twenty fourth? This is also today. Hold on, here's what
Speaker 2: I'm looking for right here. This is the actual new info.
Speaker 2: New details from Nancy Guthrie ransom demand revealed. Her life
Speaker 2: is in your hands. So here we go. New portions
Speaker 2: of the first purported ransom note received in the Nancy
Speaker 2: Guthrie investigation have been made public, and a former Arizona
Speaker 2: reporter read them on a major true crime podcast on Wednesday. Remember,
Speaker 2: this whole thing went down in Arizona, So the FBI
Speaker 2: didn't think that this was the case. That was the
Speaker 2: other story that came out. But here's the juicy stuff.
Speaker 2: Brianna Whitney, who was working for Phoenix based Asy Family
Speaker 2: News when the case broke, joined the Crime Junkie not
Speaker 2: related to the News Junkie. Just for the record, it's
Speaker 2: not your brother crime. Joined the Crime Junkie host Ashley Flowers.
Speaker 2: They're way more successful than we are. Unfortunately, to discuss
Speaker 2: the note and a wrench attack theory that emerged in May,
Speaker 2: a Crime Junkie spokesperson said the podcasters would not share
Speaker 2: copies of the text, which has not been independently verified,
Speaker 2: but they believe that they are true. Here is the
Speaker 2: note that the kidnapper allegedly sent. Hello Savannah, talking to
Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie, we have your mother, Nancy. She began reading
Speaker 2: from what she said was the first note sent to
Speaker 2: local media she is safe but scared. She will be
Speaker 2: held for ransom and once payment is received, she will
Speaker 2: be released unharmed. We will be holding her for a
Speaker 2: maximum of seven days as previously conveyed by authorities. The
Speaker 2: sender gave two deadlines, with increased money demands the longer
Speaker 2: it took. Once payment is received to the bitcoin address below,
Speaker 2: she will be released within twelve hours of deposit to
Speaker 2: a safe drop off location back in Tucson. If the
Speaker 2: payment is not received by the last deadline on Monday
Speaker 2: the ninth at five pm, she will be killed. Your
Speaker 2: mother is aware of this. Her life is in your hands. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's it. Then they said it's in the best interest
Speaker 2: of everyone to have this completed as soon as possible.
Speaker 2: You will not be able to contact me from here
Speaker 2: on out. There will be no negotiation. Do not play games.
Speaker 2: Law enforcement will not be able to help you. The
Speaker 2: note also included details that may have only been available
Speaker 2: to investigators and the suspect at the time, including the
Speaker 2: location of Guthrie's Apple watch and details about a smashed
Speaker 2: floodlight in her backyard. There was a second note that
Speaker 2: they read that also had an apology, which was like,
Speaker 2: you know after the mother had died because of her
Speaker 2: failing health. The thing that is shocking to me if
Speaker 2: this is the first note that Nancy Guthrie got, and
Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie got and her family got, and it's like
Speaker 2: her life is in your hands. We want, we want
Speaker 2: a deposit into this bitcoin account. Here's how much money
Speaker 2: we want, or we're going to kill your mom by
Speaker 2: this day. Why didn't Savannah Guthrie just send them money?
Speaker 2: But you know your mom has actually been kidnapped. Maybe
Speaker 2: this is me saying this because I'm I wasn't actually
Speaker 2: in this position, but I would have won one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Sent the money. I would have won one hundred percent,
Speaker 2: sent the money. Oh, this sounds to me like the
Speaker 2: person was kidnapping her. They sent this this letter over
Speaker 2: this note to the family, and then the family made
Speaker 2: the decision to not make a payment. Is it like
Speaker 2: we don't negotiate with terrorist kind of thing, you know?
Speaker 6: Is it possible that somebody in law enforcement looked at
Speaker 6: this note and decided for whatever reason, that it was
Speaker 6: not credible and like advised the Guthrie family that this
Speaker 6: is not worth our time.
Speaker 2: Very possible, I think.
Speaker 6: And so there was the story that they did a
Speaker 6: test run, like they sent like two hundred bucks or something,
Speaker 6: and just to see if they could see where the
Speaker 6: money was whisked off to, and that somehow screwed up
Speaker 6: the whole timelineer screwed up the process.
Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie has the fund. She one hundred percent could
Speaker 2: have done this, and I would take it seriously. We
Speaker 2: have the video of the person actually taking your mother,
Speaker 2: and we have a note that they left behind that
Speaker 2: they sent, and they're demanding this, and I know there's
Speaker 2: some of you people saying it sets a precedent. Never
Speaker 2: pay the ransom. Never. Fang freaking Tastic says, if I'm
Speaker 2: old as hell and not in great health, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: want my family wasting money on a ransom. That's fine,
Speaker 2: that's fine for you to think about that in that position.
Speaker 2: But I'm saying, if I were Savannah Guthrie, I would
Speaker 2: have paid eleven times. I would have paid. I would
Speaker 2: have said, I want more time with my mom and
Speaker 2: it's worth more money to me than anything else. Right,
Speaker 2: That's just how I am about it. Like, if I
Speaker 2: could pay all of my money right now to get
Speaker 2: my mother back alive for a year I would do
Speaker 2: it in a second, because that's more valuable than anything
Speaker 2: else that I could ever have, and it's the thing
Speaker 2: that you can't get right. But I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2: That seems crazy to me. This is definitely a big
Speaker 2: revelation of the case. It says, once payment is received
Speaker 2: at the bitcoin address, she'll be released in twelve hours
Speaker 2: of a deposit to a safe drop off location back
Speaker 2: in Tucson. If we don't get it by Monday the
Speaker 2: ninth at five pm, she will be killed. Your mother's
Speaker 2: aware of this in her life is in your hands.
Speaker 2: Once payments received, will release her unharmed. But we're holding
Speaker 2: her for a maximum of seven days, like I would
Speaker 2: have done it. I don't know how you don't do it.
Speaker 2: That seems different to me, Alien says Seilions.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 2: Cops probably said it wasn't credible, but why would cops
Speaker 2: ever think it was incredible? The mother is indeed missing.
Speaker 2: There is a note left behind. There is a demand
Speaker 2: for the note, like why would the cops not think
Speaker 2: anything is credible? Everything points to that it is credible.
Speaker 2: Everything that we've ever seen points to the idea that
Speaker 2: this person actually was kidnapped. But I want to know,
Speaker 2: would does this has change your mind on how you
Speaker 2: feel about the case number one? But what would you
Speaker 2: have done in that circumstance, Because I one thousand percent
Speaker 2: would have paid. I don't understand why she didn't. I
Speaker 2: don't get that. I don't get that, And don't make
Speaker 2: the argument to me from the old person whose kidnaps perspective.
Speaker 2: Make it from the children's perspective. That's the argument that
Speaker 2: I want to hear. Why on earth wouldn't the kids,
Speaker 2: if they loved their mother, why wouldn't they pull this
Speaker 2: money together? That Savannah Guthrie definitely has. I forgot what
Speaker 2: the demand was for. But she's a very wealthy woman,
Speaker 2: so she could have done it. And I'm not saying
Speaker 2: this that's a great president. I'm not saying anything, but
Speaker 2: I'm saying, if that was a chance to get your
Speaker 2: mom back alive, I would have done it personally. Let
Speaker 2: us know what you think. Send a dispatch over at
Speaker 2: thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 6: Okay, good luck out there, Dylan, I really have I'm
Speaker 6: I'm praying for you, buddy. What are you telling you
Speaker 6: your dad is really screwing this up for you?
Speaker 7: Why?
Speaker 2: What are you talking about What do you mean.
Speaker 5: What if you're the kidnapped, you're expecting Dylan to give
Speaker 5: up everything to get you back.
Speaker 2: I think he would, I legit think he would. You
Speaker 2: want me to call him and see if he would pay?
Speaker 6: No, No, that's not where I was going with that.
Speaker 6: But you know it's sure, Sure, that's that's.
Speaker 2: Definitely my point.
Speaker 6: It's not that you know, good luck when you're kidnapped,
Speaker 6: because Sean will just pay pay pay.
Speaker 2: No. I know that too. I mean I'm making him
Speaker 2: kidnappable right now. I stand that, but I just have
Speaker 2: to be real about it. Right. Do you think he
Speaker 2: would do it for me?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 2: Sure? I think he would write a very very big
Speaker 2: check that would bounce.
Speaker 5: Wait three days to cash.
Speaker 2: I did a little post date, just a little post date. Okay,
Speaker 2: let me let me call him real quick and see
Speaker 2: if he would pay this. Ready, let's see all right?
Speaker 2: Hang on? Stand by? Oh is it? Wait? Hang on? What?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: When were you showing the screen? You? I have no
Speaker 2: control over that. What do you mean? What do you
Speaker 2: up on the stream? Oh? Great number does yes? Oh?
Speaker 2: Why was he set up that way? That's a terrible idea.
Speaker 2: It's a terrible code arena. All right, I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 2: text him. I guess would you up pay ransom to
Speaker 2: save me? Okay, I'll text him. I'll let you know
Speaker 2: because I'm I'm pretty convinced that he would do this.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty convinced I dial the wrong number. Folks, all right,
Speaker 2: So don't don't try to call him because Hee Lane
Speaker 2: showed you something he wasn't supposed to. Don't do it.
Speaker 2: You just told me you showed him. No, I didn't
Speaker 2: show them. Where did it show? Did it show in
Speaker 2: the stream? Where? Why? You mean on the on the
Speaker 2: graphics on the stream? Yes, it shows the phone number. Yes,
Speaker 2: that's bad code. A Reno worker that was on me
Speaker 2: gonna kidnap the bad all right, don't know everybody, leave
Speaker 2: that person alone. This is unrelated person. I'll tell you
Speaker 2: what Dylan says when he responds at some point in time.
Speaker 2: But I I truly believe that he would he would
Speaker 2: pay the money for me. I don't know what was
Speaker 2: going on with the Savannah Guthrie in this case, but
Speaker 2: we'll figure it all out, and you give us your thoughts.
Speaker 2: Your dispatches are accepted in your emails as well. Do
Speaker 2: those over at thenewsjunkie dot com right now. Somebody said,
Speaker 2: you just doc Stylan. I didn't do it. I didn't
Speaker 2: know that showed up on the screen. So like, if
Speaker 2: I call Sea Lane right now, I'll call you Shan Sean. Wait,
Speaker 2: you say, if I hit call right now, we'll put
Speaker 2: your phone on the stream. Yes, it would. I don't believe, honey,
Speaker 2: I docs the kids. I don't believe that that's true.
Speaker 2: It just shows the entire phone number. It did. Yes,
Speaker 2: on on the stream. Yes, not on my screen, not
Speaker 2: on your screen, on the stream, on the stream. So
Speaker 2: I hit call right now on your phone? Will dare
Speaker 2: all right?
Speaker 9: Fine?
Speaker 2: I won't, but I just I that seems hard to believe.
Speaker 2: Somebody said, I didn't see it. You see, Look it's fine,
Speaker 2: it's fringy. Shut it, she said, She said, you didn't
Speaker 2: see it at all. That's all right. We're gonna take
Speaker 2: a quick break. When we come back, we'll see what
Speaker 2: kind of damage I just did, and I'll dox more
Speaker 2: people as the day goes on. That's on the way.
Speaker 2: Plus something that a man did in a restaurant. And
Speaker 2: I want you guys to tell me if you think
Speaker 2: that this is okay. Or if if this is really
Speaker 2: really bad behavior, you let me know what you think
Speaker 2: and we'll get to that because it's coming up next
Speaker 2: on the News Junkie. I've accidentally doxed my son on
Speaker 2: the show, I did, Yeah, I did that. I made
Speaker 2: a mistake and uh and I thought. Celan was like,
Speaker 2: you put your son's number out there, and I said, no,
Speaker 2: I don't think it could have been that bad. And
Speaker 2: then I looked and he sent me a screenshot and
Speaker 2: I did, I just have to I have to confess that, yeah,
Speaker 2: that that was an issue. But I wanted to call
Speaker 2: him to see if he would pay a you know,
Speaker 2: a ransom for me because we were talking about the
Speaker 2: Nancy Guthrie situation. If I call him again, it's just
Speaker 2: going to dox him again. But my theory on this
Speaker 2: is I've already put his information out once. Why does
Speaker 2: it even matter if you do it again? Is that
Speaker 2: it doesn't. You can't be double docks by releasing your
Speaker 2: son's phone number twice. The one time is the time,
Speaker 2: and then after that it's just like okay.
Speaker 6: Right, I mean I would disagree why just because now,
Speaker 6: like you know, even if you're putting even more spotlight
Speaker 6: on it.
Speaker 2: I'm not putting anywhere spotlight on an opposite and forget
Speaker 2: about that. Here's how here's what I'm doing. I put
Speaker 2: the spotlight on something totally different. I got a story
Speaker 2: coming up that's gonna knock your socks off, and it'll
Speaker 2: make you forget all about the stuff that happened previously.
Speaker 2: I got that going on, and we're gonna work that
Speaker 2: into the show here. But let's just be real. It's
Speaker 2: already happened. We might as well just do it again, right, sure?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Can you can? You mute the box real quick? Just
Speaker 2: hit the mute on obs for the box and you
Speaker 2: do that. You hang on one second here. I don't
Speaker 2: never go in this because I don't mean to be
Speaker 2: ruining your weekend.
Speaker 10: Here.
Speaker 2: Every once in a while, the great code a Reno
Speaker 2: makes a mistake. Areno, that's what they said. That's what
Speaker 2: we're calling. Today is one of those days. Unfortunately, but
Speaker 2: I wanted longing in the it's called the box. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: the box is off. It's off, okay, just for now,
Speaker 2: just for now, so let me see this. I think
Speaker 2: this is now. I'm just doing it in a different way. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, just call him. Does he know that you
Speaker 2: did the thing? What thing?
Speaker 11: No, we're not gonna tell him about that. Oh okay, cool? Yeah, hello,
Speaker 11: hey hey uh are you there?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, you're on the air, So don't say anything bad.
Speaker 2: Just just for the record, Okay. I just want you
Speaker 2: to know I love you, and I would never do
Speaker 2: anything to show the audience any private information about you
Speaker 2: or like dox you or put your phone number out
Speaker 2: there or I just want you to know I would
Speaker 2: never do anything like that, is all right? Why are
Speaker 2: you saying that? I here's the thing. See Lane puts
Speaker 2: your phone number on the screen. I didn't know. I
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with this, and I just wanted
Speaker 2: to apologize for what Sea Lane has done. And if
Speaker 2: anybody as me or bothers you, I apologize profusely. If
Speaker 2: we have to get you a new phone number, I
Speaker 2: will get you a new phone number. But I just
Speaker 2: wanted to put that out there. Okay, I apologize. Well,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't se Lane apologize. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 2: know because Selane didn't do anything. I think that's a
Speaker 2: really good question. Actually, I think I think somebody wrote
Speaker 2: some software that he was so proud of his little
Speaker 2: phone line. And Uh, one of the unfortunate bugs in
Speaker 2: the software feature was that it was a feature show
Speaker 2: the feature has the phone revealed feature that had yeah,
Speaker 2: having revealed Dylan's phone number, my son's phone number on
Speaker 2: the actual stream. But I've told the.
Speaker 12: Program that feature if if I hadn't broken so many.
Speaker 2: Phones, Uh, revenge was not in mind. I was, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was not. I was not at all try to
Speaker 2: get any revenge on you in the slightest But again,
Speaker 2: let me let me go back to I love you.
Speaker 2: You're awesome. And I just wanted to say we were
Speaker 2: talking about the case. This new note came out in
Speaker 2: the Savannah Guthrie situation with her mom, and it looks like,
Speaker 2: you know, they knew that they had her mother and
Speaker 2: that they were going to kill her mother if they
Speaker 2: didn't pay up. And I wanted to know if somebody
Speaker 2: stole me, kidnapped me, adult napped me as it were,
Speaker 2: and that person said, Dylan, you have to pay this
Speaker 2: amount of money or we're going to kill your dad.
Speaker 2: Would you pay that amount of money? I would.
Speaker 9: I'd probably need access to your assets, but I mean
Speaker 9: I would.
Speaker 2: I would get them whatever they asked for. Okay, I
Speaker 2: really appreciate that. And this is like, this is nice, right, like,
Speaker 2: you know, we we love each other here things are
Speaker 2: going well, and we know when we look back on.
Speaker 12: Like, right now, why are you asking me they have
Speaker 12: my phone number?
Speaker 2: Isn't I'm I'm not I'm kidnapped right now? I'm not
Speaker 2: kidnapped right now?
Speaker 6: Out of context, you know, Dylan just gets this random
Speaker 6: call from a toll free hotline and and uh, and
Speaker 6: here's all this stuff from you.
Speaker 2: Maybe I would think like, hey, is this now? Are
Speaker 2: you kidnapped?
Speaker 13: Now?
Speaker 2: I'm not kidnapped by all right, my due diligence, okay,
Speaker 2: And if you are kidnapped, why is Sea laying there?
Speaker 5: And Josh, I.
Speaker 2: Want to be as clear as possible. I'm not currently kidnapped.
Speaker 2: But you would pay the money to try to save
Speaker 2: my life, right theoretically we need money? Why? Why? Why not?
Speaker 2: Just yes, I would pay the money to save your
Speaker 2: life too.
Speaker 14: In a perfect world, I would, but in practice it
Speaker 14: doesn't always happen.
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing. I also just said I would
Speaker 2: pay any amount of money to get you back, and
Speaker 2: then gave out your phone number. So I do want
Speaker 2: to point out that that's probably bad. That is probably
Speaker 2: a bad thing that those things happen in that order. So, uh,
Speaker 2: let's just let's just go back to what we're gonna
Speaker 2: remember about this. I love you and I hope you
Speaker 2: have a great debt. All right, love you too, Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, there it goes. Boy. Well, uh, he said
Speaker 2: he would pay the money, So I mean that shows
Speaker 2: I told you he said he would tell you your money. Well, oh, actually, yeah,
Speaker 2: I should have asked his money. He's like, I would
Speaker 2: be very generous with your money. That's all right. You
Speaker 2: can put the box back on. You can put the
Speaker 2: box back on, Oh philose numbers on? No, Now, I
Speaker 2: want to see because the Great Codino is put through
Speaker 2: a fix, I want to test that the fix worked.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna call you to see if it displays
Speaker 2: your number? Are you okay with that?
Speaker 5: Sures called nine one one?
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm not. I'm not confident. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to do I don't do it, not to get rid
Speaker 2: of it. No, because it's going to show your number.
Speaker 2: It will not.
Speaker 11: It's on you.
Speaker 2: That's you, nothing showing up. Okay, good, all right, good?
Speaker 2: So did you fix it or below you've reached the
Speaker 2: Sea Lane and is that what your phone does voicemail?
Speaker 2: Why does this sound like that? I don't know you
Speaker 2: changed your number in the system. No, I didn't. You
Speaker 2: didn't what what was that person?
Speaker 9: It was me?
Speaker 2: It said you've reached Ceilane.
Speaker 15: What do you do?
Speaker 2: You think that did not sound like you? Okay, hold on,
Speaker 2: we got to take a quick break. When we come back,
Speaker 2: we'll get to you. Your feedback is coming in. Send
Speaker 2: your dispatches over on the news junkie dot com. Did
Speaker 2: you guys think that sounded weird? You didn't think that?
Speaker 2: What was weird about it? Tell me this doesn't sound
Speaker 2: like Sea Lan and it sounds Sea Lion has been kidnapped.
Speaker 2: If anyone, Well, you've reached Sea Lane and either I
Speaker 2: cannot come to the phone, or I'm enjoying the wonders
Speaker 2: of caller ID. One step away from George Costanza's outgoing message.
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, George isn't at home. Leave a
Speaker 2: message jet the beep. All right, I don't know what's
Speaker 2: happening around here. We're gonna take a quick break and
Speaker 2: get back to the professional broadcasting when we return. We
Speaker 2: got to pick a side on the way, we have
Speaker 2: a lot coming up, don't miss anything. All of that
Speaker 2: coming up next, and then you use Junkie, we'll get
Speaker 2: into your feedback, your dispatches, that's what we call and
Speaker 2: that's how you can send some thoughts into the show,
Speaker 2: video audio dispatches played back on the show, or your
Speaker 2: emails tips at the newsjunkie dot com. Very quickly, though,
Speaker 2: I want to get your thoughts on this. I wouldn't
Speaker 2: call this a pick a side, which is a feature
Speaker 2: that we do on the show, but I just I
Speaker 2: want to see if this is normal behavior, if we
Speaker 2: approve of this or not. There's a post that's going
Speaker 2: viral online. This is not really news related. I just
Speaker 2: I was confused by it, so I wanted to bring
Speaker 2: it up before we do get into the next story.
Speaker 2: This woman said today I went out to lunch with
Speaker 2: my dad and his friends. Before ordering, they walked around
Speaker 2: looking at what everyone else in the restaurant was eating
Speaker 2: so that they could make an informed decision. And she
Speaker 2: shows her father and his friends as they went out
Speaker 2: to lunch. That is so old guy, and I thought,
Speaker 2: I've never heard of this. Sea lane is food browsing, okay,
Speaker 2: Like you know, most places don't have any pictures on
Speaker 2: the menu. If you go into a restaurant, is it
Speaker 2: okay to walk around to the other tables and take
Speaker 2: a look at what people are eating?
Speaker 6: I mean, I think people do a version of this
Speaker 6: without walking around, Like you can sort of just scan
Speaker 6: and maybe once in a while.
Speaker 2: If you see something go by, maybe you can go, oh,
Speaker 2: what's that? What was that thing that they just got?
Speaker 6: I think it's more it's it's it's probably more acceptable
Speaker 6: to ask the server like, Hey, that that thing over
Speaker 6: there looks good? What what is that they're eating? But
Speaker 6: when you're walking around and you're like, it's almost like
Speaker 6: you're getting in people's business.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean a little bit. But what if you
Speaker 2: want to see what the food looks like. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that you just take a glance as it goes by.
Speaker 2: Everybody does that. That's what feitas are based on. Basically.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 2: That's true. You guys both know this. But the deal is,
Speaker 2: if I go into a restaurant, I've never done this before,
Speaker 2: but I'm kind of tempted to now. If I get
Speaker 2: up and walk around the busy restaurant and just take
Speaker 2: a look at what everybody else has on their plates.
Speaker 2: Now I know what looks the best. Some of you
Speaker 2: are saying this is kind of rude, though, is it really?
Speaker 2: How is it really?
Speaker 5: People are gonna feel judged immediately if you're standing there
Speaker 5: going hmm.
Speaker 2: It seems snoopy. Well, Josh, I didn't say that I
Speaker 2: was going to be rude about it. I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: look at each table and go all right, yeah.
Speaker 5: But if you're silently walking around and going all right,
Speaker 5: that's what the ruben looks like that it feels weird
Speaker 5: if you're the person eating the ruben.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't take offense to it. People do this kind
Speaker 2: of stuff all the time. I see it all the time.
Speaker 2: When you get up. This guy goes out with his buds.
Speaker 2: They're all old dudes, and they look at everybody else's food.
Speaker 2: And that's how you get the qualified intel to know
Speaker 2: what to order on the menu.
Speaker 6: If I went out to dinner with my dad and
Speaker 6: my dad and we sat down at the table and
Speaker 6: then ordered drinks, and then they're like, all right, well,
Speaker 6: you know, I'll give you a minute to peruse the menu,
Speaker 6: And my dad got up and walked around the entire
Speaker 6: restaurant to see what people we're eating.
Speaker 2: I would be embarrassed. That's weird, says X swimmer. Just
Speaker 2: walk around and look, but don't walk up to somebody's table.
Speaker 2: You got to get a good look at the food though.
Speaker 2: It's like, I agree with TDG who says, nobody has
Speaker 2: any idea what you're doing. You're just doing reconnaissance.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're just you're like, people don't do reconnaissance in
Speaker 6: restaurants unless they're weirdos or they're Jason Bourne.
Speaker 2: But shouldn't they that that is the literal we eat
Speaker 2: with our eyes. It's a literal thing that we do.
Speaker 13: Well.
Speaker 2: Then don't eat other people's food with your eyes. I
Speaker 2: think you go around, you take a little peek, and
Speaker 2: you go damn. I wasn't gonna get the pancakes, but
Speaker 2: the pancakes look really good. They don't have any pictures
Speaker 2: on the menu, And like, I like what you ordered there.
Speaker 2: I think that that is a fair thing to do.
Speaker 2: Let us know if you do this or if you
Speaker 2: think that it's it's a rude thing to do. But
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of genius in a way. It's
Speaker 2: it's a smart idea. Actually, if you're not familiar with
Speaker 2: what a place had give us your thoughts on food
Speaker 2: browsing over at least dot com riveting contest set as
Speaker 2: a dispatch about line about your food browsing dispatches. I'll
Speaker 2: get into this serious stuff now. We've got all kinds
Speaker 2: of real news, but I did want to put that
Speaker 2: out there. At least I wanted people to know what
Speaker 2: was going on. We've been talking about on a serious note,
Speaker 2: the flock cameras that are all around the country. And see,
Speaker 2: how would you sum up what a flock camera is
Speaker 2: to somebody who hasn't heard any of our discussion. It's
Speaker 2: a camera that sits in a stationary location and it
Speaker 2: records mostly your license plate when you go by, and
Speaker 2: what time you went by, what time of the day,
Speaker 2: what day you know, that kind of stuff. And it
Speaker 2: also seems to we've just learned, also kind of record
Speaker 2: some identifying features of your car, like if you have
Speaker 2: certain bumper stickers, if you have if you're a Steelers fan,
Speaker 2: you got your Steelers bumper sticker. It puts that stuff
Speaker 2: on there too. But it's basically just a stationary recording
Speaker 2: of all of the cars that go buy this camera
Speaker 2: and when yeah, and and I think that's a pretty
Speaker 2: accurate description.
Speaker 6: When you take thousands of these flock cameras and put
Speaker 6: them because they're over the place, it's now a way
Speaker 6: to mine all that data and follow you around.
Speaker 2: Well, so, Josh, you weren't here, but we went to
Speaker 2: this what was the website sealine that we were looking at,
Speaker 2: dflock dot org. Dflock dot org, and we went to
Speaker 2: the website and it shows you there's like over a
Speaker 2: hundred thousand of these flock cameras. They're owned by companies
Speaker 2: like maybe like a Lows or in different different stores
Speaker 2: and stuff to track what's going on in there parking
Speaker 2: lot in their stores. And this one website tracks all
Speaker 2: of them. And they said, you know, people could get
Speaker 2: upset because the police could use this technology in the
Speaker 2: wrong way.
Speaker 6: Now, companies are able to buy these flock cameras, like
Speaker 6: for their own use, Like you mentioned Lows. My Low's
Speaker 6: has like four flock cameras in the parking lot. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but it's up to the company that buys the camera
Speaker 6: whether or not they want to always share this data
Speaker 6: with the police or only when something goes wrong they
Speaker 6: can go, hey, we had some big things get stolen
Speaker 6: around this time.
Speaker 2: Here's a window of.
Speaker 6: Access to our flock cameras, so you can see everybody
Speaker 6: that's been around there.
Speaker 2: So I had some issues with this, and then I
Speaker 2: thought there were some people saying, hey, the website maps
Speaker 2: out where these are, and Seili and even said the
Speaker 2: website will tell you how to get to your destination
Speaker 2: avoiding all of the flock cameras. Yes, we will give
Speaker 2: you a GPS route that makes sure no cameras capture
Speaker 2: where you're going, which I said that also could be
Speaker 2: used for nefarious purposes, but at no pointfarious purposes. At
Speaker 2: no point during this discussion did I think I was Antifa,
Speaker 2: all right, I've I did not. I did not think
Speaker 2: that that was the case. But here's the CEO of
Speaker 2: the Flock company talking about all of this, the discussion
Speaker 2: that we had about this, the website that chronicles is
Speaker 2: where all the cameras are and put them on the
Speaker 2: map and stuff. Here's the CEO of FLAW.
Speaker 8: You've got organizations like the ACLU and the FF who
Speaker 8: take an above a board approach to fight for their
Speaker 8: point of view. And thankfully we live in a beautifully democratic,
Speaker 8: capitalistic country where we can fight in court and I
Speaker 8: have a lot of respect for those groups because they
Speaker 8: have reasonable debates and we followed the lag and then
Speaker 8: unfortunately there's terroristic organizations like dflock. His primary motivation is chaos.
Speaker 8: They are closer to Antifa than they are anything else,
Speaker 8: And now I think is unfortunate because.
Speaker 2: That's true. He said, the website that we're viewing is
Speaker 2: a terror Do you call them terrorist?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Terrorizing his bottom line, yeah, terrorizing, your buddy, he.
Speaker 2: Called them terrorists, and he said that they're closer to
Speaker 2: Antifa than anything else. I don't like Antifa, but I
Speaker 2: don't think these people are terrorists For having a website
Speaker 2: that shows where all the flock security cameras are. He's
Speaker 2: saying they don't want chaos. I like, I think if
Speaker 2: you do a fair reading into what they're doing, it
Speaker 2: seems like they want to protect people's privacy more than
Speaker 2: anything else. That's at least what I'm taking from this.
Speaker 2: But I'll go back. I mean, he pretty clearly said
Speaker 2: he's like they're terroristic.
Speaker 8: I think they have reasonable debates and we've we followed
Speaker 8: the law, and then unfortunately there's terroristic organizations. Terrorists like
Speaker 8: primary motivation is chaos. They are closer to Antifa than
Speaker 8: they are anything else. And now I think is unfortunate
Speaker 8: because we don't want chaos or I don't want chaos.
Speaker 8: I like law and order.
Speaker 2: States. You can't do that if you are if you're
Speaker 2: putting yourself out there and you're like I like law
Speaker 2: and order, and I like this and that, and the
Speaker 2: other people are terrorists, Like no, maybe they just disagree
Speaker 2: with utilizing these cameras and all the information out there.
Speaker 2: Maybe they see like I mean. In fact, in one county,
Speaker 2: Central Florida County Sumter County, Florida, a sheriff's office detective
Speaker 2: has been arrested and terminated after investigators say she improperly
Speaker 2: accessed multiple law enforcement databases for personal reasons. In a
Speaker 2: statement released Thursday of this week, sheriff's officials said an
Speaker 2: internal audit found in proper and unlawful use of agency
Speaker 2: database systems to monitor an individual. It was some guy
Speaker 2: she was with her husband, her husband's ex wife. Right
Speaker 2: her husband's ex wife she's looking into using the flock system.
Speaker 2: So the cop was using the flock system to track
Speaker 2: his husband's ex wife and get into what was going
Speaker 2: on in her life where she was tracking all this thing.
Speaker 2: That is improper use of this system. That is something
Speaker 2: that people are rightfully upset about, and that entire county
Speaker 2: has suspended the use of Flock cameras as a result
Speaker 2: of it. That's not terrorism, that's not Antifa. That's just
Speaker 2: like somebody has a different view of the Fourth Amendment
Speaker 2: than you do. That's what it looks like to me,
Speaker 2: at least, I don't know that seems weird. This is
Speaker 2: the CEO, though, of this company. Because society has a
Speaker 2: better rock of safety.
Speaker 8: So for those groups, I think it's just disappointing that
Speaker 8: they haven't chosen a more constructive mennerism try to get
Speaker 8: what they want, which they have a right to have.
Speaker 8: But that's why we have a democratically elected process, right, Like,
Speaker 8: we're not forcing flock on anyone, Yeah, officials, Yeah, but
Speaker 8: as a creat Yeah, but.
Speaker 2: You literally can't say that I'm not forcing flock on anyone.
Speaker 2: Yeah you are. The flock technology, by its own nature,
Speaker 2: takes information from people who have done nothing wrong. Ninety
Speaker 2: nine point nine nine nine of them have done nothing wrong.
Speaker 2: You are forcing their participation by chronicling their information.
Speaker 6: And if you really are saying you're not forcing flock
Speaker 6: on anybody. Well, then to avoid flock, you have to
Speaker 6: use this so called terrorist organization d flock, these antifa
Speaker 6: websites right to avoid your product.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that. We
Speaker 2: as a loon, we motivated. If I take this caller,
Speaker 2: will we dox them? I don't want to know their name?
Speaker 2: It says their name dabas are there? Yes, I'm here?
Speaker 2: What do you what do you want? What's going on?
Speaker 12: I just wanted to tell you more about the block cameras.
Speaker 3: And stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, tell me what's up.
Speaker 12: So the CEO actually has come out and said that
Speaker 12: they don't date people that have block cameras. Don't even
Speaker 12: know what generation they're on. Some of them now also
Speaker 12: have Bluetooth readers that will bluetooth and net all of
Speaker 12: your phones and stuff to track people as they go
Speaker 12: through them as well as there's also other cases with
Speaker 12: these flock cameras. I believe it was down in Miami
Speaker 12: Beach where she was working on a film set and
Speaker 12: officer pulled her over and like basically was trying.
Speaker 2: To is this this is like the hot woman? Yeah,
Speaker 2: like the cops saw someone he thought she was pretty
Speaker 2: and then he was like trying to kind of stalk
Speaker 2: her with the with the flock system. Yes.
Speaker 12: Yeah, And there was also another woman that had been
Speaker 12: arrested for I believe a murder or that she was
Speaker 12: like they thought she was in a murder, but she
Speaker 12: had nothing to do with its something similar to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I look, I think there's a lot
Speaker 2: of legit concerns here that don't to me. It seemed
Speaker 2: like terrorism or you know, some sort of uh Antifa
Speaker 2: type thing, So I don't I don't get that at all.
Speaker 2: That just seems like a way to dismiss your critic
Speaker 2: by calling them terrorists. But let us know what you think.
Speaker 2: Send a dispatch. A lot of them are coming through
Speaker 2: over on the website at the Newsjunkie dot com. In fact,
Speaker 2: we'll work in why like an update on what terrorism is?
Speaker 16: Like?
Speaker 2: What is terror?
Speaker 16: Like?
Speaker 2: How terrorism is disagreeing with my company?
Speaker 14: Right?
Speaker 2: Like what deflock dot org just seems like a website
Speaker 2: where people are able to show where all these cameras are.
Speaker 2: It doesn't shut down the cameras, it doesn't do anything
Speaker 2: else that that.
Speaker 6: Seems that it's the closest thing to Antifa than it
Speaker 6: is anything else, I guess.
Speaker 9: So let's do one more thing. Here's insecure wall Risk.
Speaker 9: There's a YouTuber name Ben Jordan. He's kind of a
Speaker 9: I don't know what you call him. He does some
Speaker 9: hacking stuff, he does some like documentary stuff. He's had
Speaker 9: a pretty good campaign for the last year looking at
Speaker 9: these flock cameras and it's amazing how terrible they are
Speaker 9: from an IT perspective. They are not encrypted, most of
Speaker 9: them have like default passwords set up. If you can
Speaker 9: just find IP addresses, you can do like Mac address
Speaker 9: searches all this kind of stuff. And they're not just
Speaker 9: LPRs out on streets. They're in buildings, they're in businesses.
Speaker 9: He found one in like a kid's gymnastics, a facility
Speaker 9: that was owned by a city government that almost anybody
Speaker 9: could log into if they were just had a little
Speaker 9: bit of hacking skills. It's it's real weird how ter
Speaker 9: concern and who has access to them. It's not just police.
Speaker 9: It's a lot of times people in city government and
Speaker 9: they do facial tracking and things like that. It's not
Speaker 9: just LPRs, and so it's really kind of strange. All right,
Speaker 9: thank you for your input. Appreciate that. You can join
Speaker 9: us with the dispatch on the show. Go over to
Speaker 9: the news junkie dot com to send yours now.
Speaker 2: And if you want away in on the food browsing,
Speaker 2: we were allowing that too. I just want to put
Speaker 2: that out there front of the line. And if you
Speaker 2: agree with food browsing, you're a terrorist. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean I I well, no, I don't. I don't think that.
Speaker 2: I think if you if you agree with terrorism, you're
Speaker 2: a terrorist. That's where I'm at on the on that
Speaker 2: topic for now.
Speaker 6: If you're walking around looking at everybody's food, you're the
Speaker 6: closest thing to antipasta. Then one morning, if somebody's mad
Speaker 6: about the Powerball stuff, here's Staten island Roth.
Speaker 17: Hey, Sean shee Lane, thank you for informing about Powerball
Speaker 17: going internationally. I don't know why there wasn't any advertisements
Speaker 17: about this anywhere. I didn't find out about it till
Speaker 17: you spoke about it on the radio showing, and it
Speaker 17: makes me livid and I would like to start a
Speaker 17: lawsuit against the power Ball because there was over five
Speaker 17: hundred million dollars in that account and now as of
Speaker 17: the twenty second, like you said, they're letting Great Britain
Speaker 17: residents participate in our power Ball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they shouldn't be allowed to agree. And I
Speaker 2: am livid about it.
Speaker 17: And I'm sure there's lots of other Americans that feel
Speaker 17: the same exact way, because I feel it's hard by
Speaker 17: not advertising it, because I would have stopped.
Speaker 2: Playing power Ball. Immedia me too. I'd like to know
Speaker 2: what you think, Sean. Please let me know. Other listeners,
Speaker 2: let me know, speak up, love the show. Wiggle Wiggle,
Speaker 2: pop pop. I'm not gonna take it anymore. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna take it anymore. I've had enough of this nonsense.
Speaker 2: Between this and the anti food browsing people in restaurants,
Speaker 2: we have a serious problem on our hands. And if
Speaker 2: we don't shut down the terrorists, the terrorists will win.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying about this. Okay, that's all I'm
Speaker 2: saying about this. You're welcome to join us on the
Speaker 2: show today. We hope we hear from you at some point.
Speaker 2: Real passionate folks out there today. What's wrong with that?
Speaker 3: Nothing?
Speaker 5: No, listen to that guy all day.
Speaker 2: He should have advertised, Sean, Why didn't they advertise break?
Speaker 2: They should be billboards on every street corner saying that
Speaker 2: the Great Britain residents can buy the power ball. Somebody
Speaker 2: said he sounds better than the TTS New York mobster.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break, let me come back. I don't
Speaker 2: know if we have time for aside here. We might
Speaker 2: have to do it after this week in Florida. But
Speaker 2: I got a really, really good one for today's show,
Speaker 2: and I want to see what everybody thinks about it.
Speaker 2: That's coming up next on the News Junkie. I didn't
Speaker 2: expect this would be like a controversial topic at all
Speaker 2: when we originally brought it up, but it has prompted
Speaker 2: a lot of discussion. Actually, this food browsing thing and
Speaker 2: whether it's right or wrong to do it. And Courtney
Speaker 2: even texted she said, food browsing at a food festival
Speaker 2: or a fair is one hundred percent okay, and it's
Speaker 2: even okay to ask questions like, hey, where did you
Speaker 2: get that from? Yeah, but this is a restaurant. If
Speaker 2: you go to a restaurant, though, it's kind of like
Speaker 2: a food fair, and there's a variety of different items
Speaker 2: on the menu at the restaurant. If you missed our
Speaker 2: discussion on this, actually a stupid question if you say,
Speaker 2: where did you get that from? I, well, that's that's
Speaker 2: a stupid question in that circumstance. But I think it's
Speaker 2: actually kind of genius. Josh thinks it's rude. I think yes,
Speaker 2: Selan thinks it's rude. I think it's weird.
Speaker 6: I don't think it's necessarily rude. I just think you're
Speaker 6: like weirding people out and making them uncomfortable by just
Speaker 6: walking around and looking at everything that everybody's eating.
Speaker 2: They're not gonna be uncomfortable now if you do it right,
Speaker 2: like if you're a weirdo about if you're walking around
Speaker 2: like a predator, or they will be How do you
Speaker 2: do it not like a weirdo? Think you go, you know,
Speaker 2: kind of siddle up to the table and you go, hey, folks,
Speaker 2: I hope you're your dinner's going well. I just want
Speaker 2: to say, some of these dishes look delicious. I'm considering
Speaker 2: a couple of different items, and as I've been food
Speaker 2: browsing in the restaurant looking at what everybody else ordered,
Speaker 2: some of your dishes look the best? Are they good?
Speaker 2: Should I get what you guys got? What do you think? Folks? Huh,
Speaker 2: it's not awkward. I'm food browsing. I'm looking at people's
Speaker 2: action plates. I'm trying to see if I want the
Speaker 2: item that they have. Explaining and losing, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I think explaining is telling people about a brand new thing.
Speaker 2: This is a brand new thing. We introduce people to
Speaker 2: new things all the time. Sometimes people like them, sometimes
Speaker 2: people don't. Like I've got another one for you. You know,
Speaker 2: we'll talk about food browsing, which I do think is
Speaker 2: kind of a genius idea. All right, you browse, look
Speaker 2: what everybody else ordered in the restaurant, and then you
Speaker 2: utilize that as your way of ordering what you think
Speaker 2: you're going to enjoy that day off the menu. Now
Speaker 2: there's something else that I wanted to talk about, and
Speaker 2: this is from the Washington Posts. Let me see if
Speaker 2: I can bring this up here in front of me.
Speaker 2: This is one that I think people are going to
Speaker 2: be a little more divided on. But it looks like
Speaker 2: in the religious world there's a new well tactic. I
Speaker 2: guess I would say, to try to win over people
Speaker 2: and preach the gospel and spread the word of your God.
Speaker 2: And one of the ways they're taking to do this
Speaker 2: in a new world all sorts of distractions. Is now
Speaker 2: people are saying, hey, when I'm on a flight with
Speaker 2: a bunch of strangers, I have a captive audience. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: absolutely not. You guys are not for anything. You are
Speaker 2: not for anything. Leave me alone. They are saying, yeah,
Speaker 2: he says. Here's the headline from the Washington Post. Evangelists
Speaker 2: say they are heating a biblical command to preach on flights.
Speaker 2: In flight, evangelists have preached sermons and busted out guitars
Speaker 2: in recent years. Some travelers do not like this, saying
Speaker 2: they can't even walk away. You would hate this. I
Speaker 2: maybe maybe not. I'm just.
Speaker 8: This.
Speaker 2: You don't like when they let a little girl sing
Speaker 2: frozen on board the airplane. In my defense, that girl sucked.
Speaker 2: She was not good at all. That was the problem
Speaker 2: with that. If she was nailing here again, do you.
Speaker 8: Next, Clil insane and as you've got a guest, we're
Speaker 8: back on a plane.
Speaker 2: There go buy right there?
Speaker 5: That is for you.
Speaker 2: What's that? You're right cute? Yeah, yeah, that's it. That's right. Yes,
Speaker 2: this is a plane related story. On the show, I
Speaker 2: talk about things like that from time to time, but
Speaker 2: this is a brand new thing. This is what needs
Speaker 2: it needs to be an old thing quick. They're standing
Speaker 2: up on flights and spreading the gospel. You know, whatever
Speaker 2: their religion is. There's lots lots of different religions out there,
Speaker 2: and they say, I've got all of these people sitting
Speaker 2: on this plane with me. We're not really doing anything.
Speaker 2: We might as well spread the gospel to them. And
Speaker 2: they'll stand up on the plane and they'll go folks.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: For the next couple of minutes, I'm going to tell
Speaker 2: you about the Word of God, and I want you
Speaker 2: to just take it in. And God has changed my life,
Speaker 2: and I want God to change yours as well. Josh, Josh.
Speaker 6: In your multiple trips in New York City, you ever
Speaker 6: encountered a subway wrapper?
Speaker 16: Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, where they wait till the door's shut.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And they're like, hey, ladies and gentlemen, my name's
Speaker 6: a subw rapper, and what a great name for him.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna spit a couple of bars and if you're
Speaker 6: like what you hear, I'm gonna come around with my hat.
Speaker 6: And you can't do anything about it because you're stuck
Speaker 6: in a subway underground and there's no escape.
Speaker 2: What's better being on a subway with no rapper, or
Speaker 2: being on a subway with a rapper on a subway
Speaker 2: with no rapper, Being on a plane with no evangelist,
Speaker 2: or being on a plane with an evangelist no evangelist.
Speaker 2: You guys, seem like your mind is really made up
Speaker 2: on it. People are saying, I would boo them, You
Speaker 2: guys would boo them. What if somebody gets up and
Speaker 2: they go, ladies and gentlemen of free entertainment on this flight,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna saying, our God is an awesome God on
Speaker 2: my ukulele that I brought along with me.
Speaker 6: And so now not only am I being preached to
Speaker 6: on a plane, but I'll never be able to get
Speaker 6: that song out of my head.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a It is a earworm. Yeah, is what
Speaker 2: they're doing. Now, let us know what you think about that.
Speaker 2: Would you be okay with that on your flight? If
Speaker 2: somebody stood up and they started preaching on the flight,
Speaker 2: because everybody is like a captive audience on your plane.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm on board. Now this is all backfiring
Speaker 2: on me. Allright, let us know what you think. You
Speaker 2: send a dispatch over at thenews junki dot com that
Speaker 2: happens quite a bit. It really does, and a lot
Speaker 2: of people in the religious world are saying it's the
Speaker 2: smartest way to bring in new converts to your religion.
Speaker 2: Bdmx con says, you're allowed, but break out the communion one. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe you could, maybe you could sweeten the
Speaker 2: pot a little bit, and you'd say, folks, I know
Speaker 2: this is annoying, so I'm going to give you all
Speaker 2: a little something like here's a tract. You know, because
Speaker 2: you give them a gift, You give them a gift
Speaker 2: of some sort because you know that you're inconveniencing them
Speaker 2: on the flight that they paid for, but you're also
Speaker 2: trying to in your mind, better their lives. Right, You're
Speaker 2: to try to save somebody's soul is a you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's a nice thing if you actually believe in
Speaker 2: all of that stuff. I don't like being rude to people,
Speaker 2: but I'd make an exception for them. What come on, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't think this is going to go over well
Speaker 2: in most cases, but some of you might be okay
Speaker 2: with it. Maybe it changes somebody's mind. Speaking of flights,
Speaker 2: I might as well get this other airplane story out
Speaker 2: of the way. There was a flight diverted to JFK
Speaker 2: in New York after two flight attendants were injured. The
Speaker 2: turbulence was so bad that they were injured. I think
Speaker 2: I've got the air traffic control audio.
Speaker 15: Here on tventy four.
Speaker 17: Have you so, just when able just the nature of
Speaker 17: the medical emergency, also your gate information and uh the gender.
Speaker 18: Of the passager?
Speaker 2: Okay, offer, and we have a two flight attendants.
Speaker 17: Two flight attendin dedetermined project.
Speaker 2: You fight tenants injured because the turbulence was so bad
Speaker 2: on this flight. They ended up being okay, but out
Speaker 2: of nowhere, the plane just jolted upward and several of
Speaker 2: the people on the plane were actually injured, including two
Speaker 2: of those flight attendants. So not a good time on
Speaker 2: that flight this week. But as do you think, send
Speaker 2: a dispatcher or an email to the show. Email is
Speaker 2: tips tips at the Newsjunkie dot Com quick break when
Speaker 2: we come back. We got the hot sheet with Sea
Speaker 2: Lane after that this week in Florida, and then a
Speaker 2: pick aside that is maybe one of the more interesting
Speaker 2: ones we've done in a couple of weeks. Here wait
Speaker 2: until you hear this clip. That's all coming up next
Speaker 2: in the news junkie. Somebody says, is it just me
Speaker 2: or just Dylan? Your son sound like Josh a bit?
Speaker 2: You think Dylan and Josh sound the same. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I haven't really thought about that and compare to.
Speaker 19: Yeah he did that.
Speaker 2: That was a good he had a good line without it,
Speaker 2: though the rest guy if you miss that. I like
Speaker 2: the John Cena of Fathers. Yeah, Ed emails the show.
Speaker 2: A lot of eds today, a lot of eds emailing.
Speaker 2: Another one does to tips at the news Hunky dot
Speaker 2: com and says, I'm with you Sean on that Nancy
Speaker 2: Guthrie update. I would definitely pay the ransom. Imagine how
Speaker 2: Savannah would feel if the police found Nancy in some
Speaker 2: horrible way with another note saying because you didn't pay,
Speaker 2: this is what happened. Then, as sad as it would be,
Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie would have to report on her show because
Speaker 2: I didn't pay the ransom. They did so and so
Speaker 2: to my mother. So to save yourself unnecessary pain and anguish,
Speaker 2: just pay the money.
Speaker 6: You don't want to make sah Guthrie report that on
Speaker 6: her own showal Like, here you go, breaking news story
Speaker 6: coming in. You don't want to go through the rest
Speaker 6: of your life thinking that because you chill money over

Speaker 2: us rolling around here, and I appreciate that much. Right now,
Speaker 2: let's do the hot sheet sheet. It's in news, but
Speaker 2: not like real important news.
Speaker 16: That's again I'm parting on the planet po top stories
Speaker 16: from the people on your screens.
Speaker 1: Then speakers are on the hot sheet with Sea laying.
Speaker 6: That's right, the top five stories and the nonsense news
Speaker 6: for a weekend. And it's brought to you by that
Speaker 6: mortgage guy, Dawn. And we start with it a so
Speaker 6: long a farewell, a rest in peace to a very
Speaker 6: famous saxophone player. Oh wow, you have one hundred percent
Speaker 6: heard his work I have, but you do not know
Speaker 6: his name. Oh, now that he's dead, I'll tell you
Speaker 6: his name. Plaz Johnson. Plas Johnson, the acclaimed saxophone player,
Speaker 6: died just day short, six days short of his ninety
Speaker 6: fifth birthday. He his saxophone appeared on recordings by the Platters,
Speaker 6: Little Richard Fast, Domino, Nat King, Cole, Sam Cook, Elephantzgerald,
Speaker 6: Marvin Gaye, Doctor John and the Beach Boys, just to
Speaker 6: name a few.
Speaker 2: But you know him from this recording right here? Oh
Speaker 2: is it is a yes?
Speaker 1: Wow? That is legendary.
Speaker 6: His tenor saxophone slides into Henry Mancini's The Pink Panther
Speaker 6: theme with a low, bluesy prow, giving the animated cat
Speaker 6: in the film's opening credits It's cool, it's mischief, and
Speaker 6: it's unmistakable strut. The melody was part of popular culture,
Speaker 6: but the musician behind it spent much of his career
Speaker 6: outside of the spotlight. So rest in peace to Plas Johnson,
Speaker 6: who dies at ninety four.
Speaker 2: Crazy.
Speaker 6: Also in the news, some little shakeups in the prison
Speaker 6: system with this guy.
Speaker 2: Ah oh did uh huh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Diddy was involved in a prison fight. Guys he's
Speaker 6: still getting into a little bit of trouble. He got
Speaker 6: into a fight with a fellow inmate at his federal
Speaker 6: lockup in New Jersey, and after all the dust settled,
Speaker 6: found himself in solitary confinement. Multiple sources say Sean Diddy
Speaker 6: comes went toe to toe with another inmate at FCI
Speaker 6: for Dix. Things got heated after the inmate disc Diddy,
Speaker 6: who then decided to take matters into his own hands.
Speaker 6: The two got into a scuffle, started pushing each other
Speaker 6: and throwing jabs. They're told Diddy held his own during
Speaker 6: the brawl, which was quickly squashed by prison staff who
Speaker 6: separated both men.
Speaker 2: He was immediately this did he like the news?
Speaker 11: Did?
Speaker 2: He did very well with a solid left jab and
Speaker 2: two right hooks that really did the other inmate in
Speaker 2: and he looked cool throwing them. He says.
Speaker 6: He was immediately tossed into solitary at Fort Dix. It's
Speaker 6: unclear if he's still there as of this morning, but
Speaker 6: he could be facing more long term consequences. You see,
Speaker 6: he's slated to get out of prison in February of
Speaker 6: twenty twenty eight. That assumes he earns credits for good behavior. However,
Speaker 6: if prison officials feel that this was bad behavior and
Speaker 6: he was in the wrong, he could be extending his
Speaker 6: stay in the pen. No actual official word from any
Speaker 6: reps at Fort Dix because the Federal Bureau of Prisons
Speaker 6: doesn't comment on disciplinary matters or other information regarding individual
Speaker 6: inmates due to privacy, safety, and security concerns. Now over
Speaker 6: to good guys in the music industry because there are
Speaker 6: a few of them, and one of them that just
Speaker 6: stands out all the time is weird Al Yankovic.
Speaker 2: I just think all around weird Al a.
Speaker 6: Decent dude, and weird now made headlines this month for
Speaker 6: backing out of an ad for AI software, which he
Speaker 6: was getting a little bit of applause for. But now
Speaker 6: it turns out the musical satirists also turned down and
Speaker 6: offer worth at least a million dollars to perform at
Speaker 6: the Riyad Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia last year.
Speaker 2: He was invited to that controversial thing too.
Speaker 6: They tried to get Weird out. Yankovic told the Pennsylvania
Speaker 6: publication trib Live. I wish people would offer me things
Speaker 6: I didn't feel bad about accepting. I don't think I've
Speaker 6: mentioned this anywhere.
Speaker 2: What I'm just pictured a bunch of Saudi Arabian guys
Speaker 2: in there, like sheets, like sitting around, like we need
Speaker 2: to get to a weird oled, yank because like I
Speaker 2: just seem so Eric's yeah, like all of the things
Speaker 2: that I can think of them enjoying, I wouldn't have
Speaker 2: put it's very funny, you know, very funny we had.
Speaker 2: He mentioned the costumes, he wears them. He's good.
Speaker 6: I don't think I've mentioned this anywhere, but I was
Speaker 6: invited to the Riad Comedy Festival, says Yankovic, which is
Speaker 6: something I obviously did not want to do.
Speaker 2: They offered me.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say how much, but it was
Speaker 6: seven figures to do one show, which is way more
Speaker 6: than I've ever been offered in my life to do
Speaker 6: a show.
Speaker 2: But I just couldn't be part of that.
Speaker 6: He said, I'm not dizzing anybody that took the money,
Speaker 6: because I'm sure everybody that went there got a lot
Speaker 6: of money. I'm sure they had their own reasons and
Speaker 6: justification for doing it. But I'm doing enough that I
Speaker 6: don't need to take any amount of money if it
Speaker 6: makes me feel icky.
Speaker 2: And he said that kind of did like Shane Gillis
Speaker 2: and Weirdow. It's very strange. Did you imagine them hanging
Speaker 2: out back? The voice is terrible?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Is that part of why I didn't even think of that?
Speaker 2: Forgot he was there? Yeah.
Speaker 6: Apple TV is saying goodbye to The Morning Show after
Speaker 6: season five. Variety has learned the it was like the
Speaker 6: very first show like that was an Apple TV original.
Speaker 6: It's an end of an era for them. That was
Speaker 6: one of the very first scripted original series for the platform.
Speaker 6: Apple initially gave it a two season order in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 6: two years before the streaming service officially launched, with Jennifer
Speaker 6: Andison and Reese Witherspoon attached in the lead roles, and
Speaker 6: of course, you know the little Steve Carell action there
Speaker 6: before there wasn't any. But the sun is setting on
Speaker 6: The Morning Show. The fifth season and last season slated
Speaker 6: to debut in twenty twenty seven, and last but not least,
Speaker 6: you guys watch hot Ones at all. I go throughes
Speaker 6: where I'll watch a bunch of hot Ones and then,
Speaker 6: you know, just kind of to kill time, have something on,
Speaker 6: and then I can't believe this has never happened before.
Speaker 6: But Tom Holland is considering it a badge of honor
Speaker 6: to be the first person to puke on hot Ones.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I'm kind of surprised that hasn't happened before.
Speaker 6: How do you think about it? Like nobody has blown
Speaker 6: chunks on hot ones? But Tom Holland's made hot Ones
Speaker 6: history by becoming the first guest to do exactly that
Speaker 6: after completing the infamous hot Wing challenge alongside The Odyssey
Speaker 6: and Spider Man Brand New Day co star John Burnhal.
Speaker 6: After host Shawn Evans revealed Holland was the first to
Speaker 6: get sick on the show, he embraced the milestone by declaring,
Speaker 6: I love being the first, and Burnhal cheered him on
Speaker 6: with a let's go. So, I mean good for him
Speaker 6: to tell you something, boot and Rally. Is that what
Speaker 6: Tom Holland SAIDs That's.
Speaker 5: What John Burnhal says all the time?
Speaker 6: Sounds like, Yeah, I don't really know where would I
Speaker 6: know John Berenthal from besides the things.
Speaker 2: That I just mentioned dead Shane, I know that guy.
Speaker 20: Yeah.

Speaker 6: off called Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, which follows
Speaker 6: the down and out comic bookstore owner from the original show.

Speaker 2: don't know if it's one off or what it is,
Speaker 2: but a Toxic love Story, which is is out there.
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna watch that this weekend. There's a
Speaker 6: lot of that content on Netflix right now. They must
Speaker 6: have gotten some sort of jump in numbers for these
Speaker 6: like uh, I'm dating the worst, the worst person, the
Speaker 6: worst divorce ever, the worst ex girlfriend ever.
Speaker 2: There's the worst neighbor ever.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I mean the worst neighbor everthing's happening, like
Speaker 6: the Neighbors show on HBO was really good. But something
Speaker 6: about netfl Flix and these really bad relationship dramas like
Speaker 6: married to a Murderer or something like that, where it's
Speaker 6: like they have seen a little bit of success here
Speaker 6: and they are running with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like that's the case. All right, quick
Speaker 2: break when we come back, we got this week in Florida,
Speaker 2: followed by a pick aside that is pretty explosive. Actually,
Speaker 2: we've got two different pick asides for you before the
Speaker 2: end of Friday's show, and both of them are good.
Speaker 2: But one of them in particular is coming up with
Speaker 2: just a bit so all that's on the way and
Speaker 2: it's coming up next on the News Junkie. Learn more
Speaker 2: about the show on the website, which is the news
Speaker 2: Junkie dot com BIC. Thanks to everybody who is subscribing
Speaker 2: today or gifting subscriptions premium subscriptions the News Jukie dot com.
Speaker 2: God bless you, thank you, thank you so much. I
Speaker 2: love you. I appreciate you real quick. I didn't know this,
Speaker 2: and a bunch of people in chat were trying to
Speaker 2: be like, how did you not know this? Sean? I
Speaker 2: would guess most people don't know this. Josh probably knows this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Selane might know this, but uh huh, you guys, are
Speaker 2: you guys prime subscribers, both of you? Yes? Are you okay?
Speaker 2: I saw this story from The Morning Brew today that
Speaker 2: says Amazon wants your idle hands. The company has now
Speaker 2: fused its cloud gaming platform, Luna, with its streaming TV service,
Speaker 2: meaning if you have the Amazon Prime Video app, which
Speaker 2: you get access to with your subscription in the United States,
Speaker 2: you can now play Harry Potter, Hogwarts, Legacy, EA Sports
Speaker 2: FC twenty six, and other video games right through your
Speaker 2: Prime Video app on your television. And sure, somebody said,
Speaker 2: like you can use your phone as a controller. I've
Speaker 2: been doing that with some of the Netflix games. They're
Speaker 2: actually kind of fun. Like there, I've never done any
Speaker 2: of these. I've never played any games at all.
Speaker 6: Is like, I've been a fan for a while of
Speaker 6: the Jackbox games, like with the Trivia Murder party and stuff.
Speaker 6: But we're having a bunch of people over. It's fun
Speaker 6: to like it's something everybody can do and you play
Speaker 6: along on your phone and stuff. And then I've been
Speaker 6: trying out because I saw the Netflix ones. I was like,
Speaker 6: let me see how good or bad is this? And
Speaker 6: there's some fun like party esque games that you know,
Speaker 6: all you have to do is you have the game
Speaker 6: up on your big screen and you play with your
Speaker 6: phone as a controller, or you know, various other ways.
Speaker 6: I've heard a lot of people like that pictionary game
Speaker 6: they have because you're doing the drawing on your phone.
Speaker 2: That's fun. Yeah, it is cool. I didn't know you
Speaker 2: do you play like that? Like Harry Potter is a
Speaker 2: real full on video game that somebody would buy and everything.
Speaker 2: You just play them through the Amazon Prime subscription you
Speaker 2: already have on their app. I wasn't aware. Maybe some
Speaker 2: of you are.
Speaker 5: They got good games on here too. They have Fallout
Speaker 5: three and four. Oh, do they have New Vegas with Crane?
Speaker 5: Then no, unfortunately they have New Vegas.
Speaker 2: So maybe are you going to be disadvantage Josh if
Speaker 2: you don't have like an actual controller versus using your phone.
Speaker 5: As I would not play probably any of these games
Speaker 5: with my phone as a controller.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but you could probably get one, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you could get.
Speaker 5: Just like a Bluetooth controller on Amazon. It would probably
Speaker 5: work fine.
Speaker 6: If you have a firestick probably. I don't know about
Speaker 6: the other like like if you have a TV with
Speaker 6: that stuff built in. I don't know how that would
Speaker 6: work or not work. But I think a controller would
Speaker 6: would be a better gaming situation for sure. I'm sure
Speaker 6: some of you already knew this. I didn't know that
Speaker 6: I think it's pretty interesting. I think a lot of
Speaker 6: people are probably hearing it for the first time. Might
Speaker 6: as well make the most out of all that money
Speaker 6: you spend on Prime. Okay, are you ready to do this?
Speaker 2: Sea Lane? Ready, Sean, let's do This Week in Florida's
Speaker 2: giving you.
Speaker 1: A recap of the most grown worthy story in the state.
Speaker 1: It's this Week in Florida.
Speaker 2: That's right, the weekend is here.
Speaker 6: It's time to take a trip around the Sunshine State
Speaker 6: and to see some of the craziness that's gone on
Speaker 6: in the past seven days or so. And we start
Speaker 6: with a sports related story because it's and it's very
Speaker 6: it's very important that I tell you the date this
Speaker 6: was published, because this is the story that did not
Speaker 6: age well. But on July twenty second of this week, Yeah,
Speaker 6: the platform Calshi, their news article section of the website
Speaker 6: said odd swing towards Miami and Lebron James next team market.
Speaker 6: We learned earlier this week that the Miami Heat, somebody
Speaker 6: on their social media team accidentally posted a link Tuesday
Speaker 6: to a scheduled live stream called Lebron James Introductory Press Conference.
Speaker 6: It was dated for July twenty seventh, on the team's
Speaker 6: YouTube channel. A spokesperson explained that the Heat social team
Speaker 6: was just preparing for the possibility of James signing and
Speaker 6: mistakenly posted the link to the team YouTube page and
Speaker 6: later deleted it. Damn that shifted things in Calsh's where
Speaker 6: is Lebron James going to end up?
Speaker 2: In the NBA market?
Speaker 6: Miami led the market for James's next team at forty
Speaker 6: nine percent, followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers at twenty seven
Speaker 6: and the Golden State Warriors at fourteen. It jumped huge
Speaker 6: for the three h five area of Florida after that
Speaker 6: little mistake by the quote unquote mistake we're saying by
Speaker 6: the Miami Heat social media team, and if you bet
Speaker 6: on Miami, I am very sorry to tell you that
Speaker 6: Lebron James is indeed going to the Philadelphia seventy six.
Speaker 2: Man. Now, I don't know if this is just me,
Speaker 2: but now I'm thinking everything is an inside job on
Speaker 2: these betting sites. Like hearing all the people with inside
Speaker 2: info that trade on this stuff. I feel like people
Speaker 2: may have tried to I don't know if they could
Speaker 2: benefit from throwing people off onto the Miami side of things.
Speaker 2: And then goes to a different team.
Speaker 6: See, I haven't had enough experience with kall sheet to
Speaker 6: like go in and see past things and like see
Speaker 6: how how people shifted their bets and stuff. Like I
Speaker 6: did look a little bit at the Lebron thing, and
Speaker 6: and Miami had a huge spike. I don't know that
Speaker 6: the seventy six ers were even that big of a contender,
Speaker 6: at least not in the call Shee market. They had Cleveland,
Speaker 6: they had Golden State, and Miami jumped to forty nine
Speaker 6: percent on July twenty second before news came out the
Speaker 6: Lebron had indeed picked Philadelphia up. But I made good
Speaker 6: money on that one. Someone also lost good money on
Speaker 6: that one. A couple more things are going to be
Speaker 6: lost because for the first time in sixty years, Florida
Speaker 6: is having the two fer guys on July twenty eighth.
Speaker 6: I believe it says two people will be executed in
Speaker 6: the Florida prison system well the same day, first time
Speaker 6: in sixty years. James Aaron Duckett sixty eight to schedule
Speaker 6: the diet noon at Florida State is near Stark. According
Speaker 6: to a death warrant signed Tuesday by Governor Ron de
Speaker 6: Santis and then we talked last week about how they were.
Speaker 6: There was a couple older people on the docket, and
Speaker 6: I think the second person that scheduled for execution on
Speaker 6: July twenty eighth is this is the oldest one, the
Speaker 6: first eighty year old inmate. He was previously douled for
Speaker 6: six PM that same day. He was convicted of killing
Speaker 6: his ex girlfriend's parents in nineteen eighty six, forty years.
Speaker 6: It took hold get that now. You know how I
Speaker 6: know because I was born in nineteen eighty six. It's
Speaker 6: very very easy math for me over to Orange County,
Speaker 6: the Orlando area. An Orange County judge has granted rapper
Speaker 6: Kodak Black's motion releasing him from all bail and pre
Speaker 6: trial release conditions after prosecutors failed to file former charges
Speaker 6: within a legal deadline. You see, remember they arrested him
Speaker 6: for trafficking MDMA following that month's long investigation. Bill Renown
Speaker 6: professionally as Kodak Black was relested, was arrested. That's when
Speaker 6: you get arrested and felt up at the same time.
Speaker 6: It all hands off my Kodak Black was arrested May
Speaker 6: sixth on a felony charge of trafficking MDMA. Following the investigation.
Speaker 6: Under Florida law, prosecutors had sixty days from the date
Speaker 6: of arrest to file the formal charges. The legal team
Speaker 6: filed the sixty three day motion, giving the state formal notice.
Speaker 6: The state did not respond, so Kodak Black gets to
Speaker 6: go free, at least for now. Not going free though.
Speaker 6: In Lakeland, Gerald Cobbs, forty seven, a man arrested yet again,
Speaker 6: they say after body wash heist was reported late last month.
Speaker 6: They said three suspects had entered a store of Walgreens
Speaker 6: in Lakeland, one distracting the store clerk.
Speaker 2: This was this was planned out.
Speaker 6: Three people took part in this one distracting the store clerk,
Speaker 6: while the other filled bags was set several containers of
Speaker 6: body wash.
Speaker 2: How good is this body wash?
Speaker 6: The trio left the store together without paying for the
Speaker 6: stolen items, which were valued at nearly six hundred and
Speaker 6: fifty dollars. Damn investigators say they recognize one of the
Speaker 6: female suspects as forty seven year old Gerald Cobbs. They
Speaker 6: put female in quotes because Cobbs is known to dress
Speaker 6: as a female. Further investigation revealed he had recently been
Speaker 6: arrested by the Lakeland Police Department on an active warrant
Speaker 6: and was already being held in Polk County Jail, so
Speaker 6: he was arrested for something else and they just added
Speaker 6: on charges because they were like, hey, you you were
Speaker 6: that guy that put on a wig and still six
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty dollars worth of body wash. I don't
Speaker 6: know if it's very good body wash or they just
Speaker 6: grabbed it because it was expensive and we're hoping to
Speaker 6: flip it. But they did not get away with it.
Speaker 6: Also in Orange County, a woman faces over one hundred
Speaker 6: and thirteen felony charges. You see Crystal laws in thirty
Speaker 6: two years old. Is a juvenile probation officer with the
Speaker 6: Forida Department of Juvenile Justice, and they say the Sheriff's
Speaker 6: office reported that she accessed the Comprehensive Case Information System
Speaker 6: or CCIS to look up ongoing criminal cases involving a
Speaker 6: drug trafficking group under investigation and then leaked all that
Speaker 6: information to the drug trafficking group.
Speaker 2: Oh Man.
Speaker 6: She's facing over one hundred felony charges for leaking that
Speaker 6: court info to drug traffickers between January and May of
Speaker 6: twenty twenty six. He reportedly accessed the database one hundred
Speaker 6: and six times without permission. They alleged that she searched
Speaker 6: for active arrest warrants, identified codefendants, and leaked details about
Speaker 6: upcoming arrest to organization members and associates. She has magically
Speaker 6: come up with a million dollar bond that the judge
Speaker 6: set for her and has been relief from jail on bail.
Speaker 2: And that suspicious as hell said. They put a million
Speaker 2: dollar bond on somebody who shouldn't be able to put
Speaker 2: that much money up, and then what it just so happens.
Speaker 6: I've got the girl who was arrested for one hundred
Speaker 6: and thirteen felonies for leaking information to drug traffic just
Speaker 6: so happened to come up with that million dollar bail.
Speaker 2: So she's going to, you know, just be.
Speaker 6: Waiting for her court date outside of the jail system. Wow,
Speaker 6: we'll see what happens there. Probably going to Mexico.
Speaker 2: And Howie in the Hills.
Speaker 6: An internal investigation report by town officials provides new details
Speaker 6: about circumstances leading to the resignation of their former police chief,
Speaker 6: Michael Giddons. Giddons resigned on June third. He was under
Speaker 6: investigations following allegations that while on duty, he had sexual
Speaker 6: encounters with the wife of a man his department was
Speaker 6: investigating for a felony crime. Now, I think one could
Speaker 6: argue he was going above and beyond as an investigator here.
Speaker 6: He needed to get the details. And if I have
Speaker 6: to bang this guy's wife to do my job, it's
Speaker 6: part of the job. That's dedication, is what it is.
Speaker 6: I would say so. The nearly eighty page report states
Speaker 6: that the investigation began after complaint was filed with FDL
Speaker 6: and November of two twenty five, a Pasco County Corrections
Speaker 6: officer told FDL his girlfriend had been inappropriately involved with
Speaker 6: Giddons in the past. He contacted the woman in March
Speaker 6: of that year while investigating her husband in connection with
Speaker 6: a complaint allegend contractor fraud. He's trying to find out
Speaker 6: the good contractor fraud information man. Let the guy off, Yeah,
Speaker 6: says the Giddins of the woman exchanged text messages before
Speaker 6: meeting at a hotel where they had sex while Giddons
Speaker 6: was on duty allegedly conducting surveillance on her home. Well,
Speaker 6: I think he did a pretty good job conducting that surveillance.
Speaker 2: That's all. I mean, what else am I going to say?
Speaker 8: Here?
Speaker 12: What a hero?
Speaker 6: And last, but not least, there's an Orlando resident shaking
Speaker 6: his head saying this doesn't sound right. A broken garage
Speaker 6: door spring at his home. And I've had this. I've
Speaker 6: had garage door springs replaced before. They did not cost
Speaker 6: this much money. No, but a broken garage door spring
Speaker 6: in his home led to a charge of more than
Speaker 6: twelve thousand dollars by the repair company Barry needed to
Speaker 6: get his car out of the Scott Berry Is the
Speaker 6: guy's name, needed to get his car out of the
Speaker 6: garage the next morning. So what he paid is what
Speaker 6: experts consider an outrageous price for the repairs. He just
Speaker 6: needed to get out of the garage so bad that
Speaker 6: he just gave over the credit card and said, fix
Speaker 6: my garage twelve thousand dollars. And so he's brought his
Speaker 6: case to Action nine for some like they do the
Speaker 6: news investigations. Then on your side, we're going to get
Speaker 6: Action nine investigates. Doug Berlin with Above the Rest garage
Speaker 6: door said, those are pretty standard springs, but they should
Speaker 6: cost about three hundred and nine dollars. That's labor and parts.
Speaker 6: The two thousand dollars price tag is a fraction of
Speaker 6: what Scott Berry was charged last month, but I.
Speaker 2: Don't know if he's going to be getting that money back. Guys,
Speaker 2: that's it for this week in Florida. All right, thank you,
Speaker 2: Sea Lane. Quick break, and when we come back, it's
Speaker 2: time for this pick aside. The ceiling is a cent
Speaker 2: This all up we've got. I got a couple of them, honestly,
Speaker 2: but I think this one's pretty good and I want
Speaker 2: to see what you say about it. So we'll get
Speaker 2: into this pick a side. Get yourself ready. That's coming
Speaker 2: up next on the news Junkie. It's time for a
Speaker 2: pick aside. Oh no, I told Celan I would take
Speaker 2: the theme song and download it and get it all ready.
Speaker 2: I plan for this. Thank you for planning on me
Speaker 2: screwing things up, see Lane, I appreciate that. Let's do
Speaker 2: a pick aside. This one's crazy. Seelane censored this. These
Speaker 2: folks are very angry. I'm warning you ahead of time.
Speaker 2: But here's what happened here. I want you to me
Speaker 2: who's right and who's wrong. In this scenario. This is
Speaker 2: a door dash delivery guy who gets upset because he
Speaker 2: delivered the food to the wrong house and then the
Speaker 2: house took the food and then they we wouldn't give
Speaker 2: it back to him, so we could deliver it to
Speaker 2: the right house. And I mean, in my mind, if
Speaker 2: you deliver the food to the wrong house, like you
Speaker 2: can't go bringing it to somebody else once it's been inside.
Speaker 6: I mean, food service rules would tell you that that's
Speaker 6: a no no. Like if yeah, if you deliver a
Speaker 6: meal to a wrong table, I don't think you're allowed
Speaker 6: to just go oh oh, just kidding. I think once
Speaker 6: it's placed on the table, and correct me if i'm
Speaker 6: wrong service industry people, once it's placed on the table,
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure it's like against food safety rules to
Speaker 6: pick it back up and bring it to somebody else.
Speaker 6: It's considered tainted, right, Like you don't know it's in
Speaker 6: this Maybe the customer has to have touched it. I
Speaker 6: don't totally.
Speaker 2: Let's see what happens to see what we think. Here's
Speaker 2: the video. This is the DoorDash driver. It got very upset,
Speaker 2: delivered the food to the wrong house and then the
Speaker 2: guy wouldn't give it back to him, so door took
Speaker 2: me to the wrong house.
Speaker 5: And these people won't give me my food back. No one,
Speaker 5: damn well they didn't orders.
Speaker 2: He's ringing the doorbell.
Speaker 20: Seconds come bringing my food back before I break holders.
Speaker 4: No, I need my food.
Speaker 2: I need my food. I deliver food.
Speaker 20: I deliver food to the wrong house. I just need
Speaker 20: my food back. You go, why are you taking my
Speaker 20: food from a nineteen year old? Kids get college money.
Speaker 2: Oh, now you're gonna bring your age and yeah, you
Speaker 2: don't want to think about your age when you were
Speaker 2: ringing that doorbell real fast, like, well, I'm just a
Speaker 2: nineteen year old kid. I mean the guy you delivered
Speaker 2: it to the wrong address. People get curious as to
Speaker 2: what you left behind. They bring the food into their
Speaker 2: house and then they with the look out it like
Speaker 2: what is this? And then at that point in time,
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a grand sin to eat the
Speaker 2: food that was wrongly delivered to you might as well,
Speaker 2: right sure, I'm I guess you could call the door
Speaker 2: dash company in the suits over there and say what
Speaker 2: am I supposed to do with this? But wouldn't you
Speaker 2: think those people would be like, well, keep the food,
Speaker 2: We'll get our driver to bring another order out. That's
Speaker 2: what I would think, but he got heated. The guy
Speaker 2: popped out the front door something fierce, and then he
Speaker 2: tells this kid like you, you made a mistake. I delivered.
Speaker 20: I deliver food to the wrong house. I just need
Speaker 20: my food back.
Speaker 2: You you go, Why are you taking my.
Speaker 20: Food from a nineteen year old kids trying to get
Speaker 20: college money. I'm trying to get college money. No, I
Speaker 20: will call the police right now. I'm not trying to
Speaker 20: get I'm not trying to be disrespected. I'm trying to
Speaker 20: get my food. I'm just trying to get asked nicely
Speaker 20: five times. Can I just get my food back? And yeah,
Speaker 20: I promise you I will if I do not get
Speaker 20: my food back.
Speaker 2: Do you have any idea what This guy is?
Speaker 5: Very calm and kind of a scary way. I would
Speaker 5: leave this guy.
Speaker 2: I mean he doesn't have does he have a gun?
Speaker 2: I don't see a gun or anything, but he's up
Speaker 2: in the young kid looks like he needs no. Yeah,
Speaker 2: somebody says fake. Now it's not fake, it's legit. This
Speaker 2: is a real interaction. And he was trying to get
Speaker 2: his door dash food back from the homeowner. The homeowners
Speaker 2: saying get the hell out of here. You made a mistake.
Speaker 2: And he's saying, well, I'm a kid. What did I
Speaker 2: give me the food back so I can get it
Speaker 2: to the right location. Who's in the right who's in
Speaker 2: the wrong? List? Pick aside, no hits.
Speaker 20: The road's gonna stay right here.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's either I.
Speaker 20: Promise you. If I do not get my food back,
Speaker 20: I'm calling the cops. Do you understand that you are
Speaker 20: stealing food?
Speaker 11: Are you?
Speaker 13: Are you?
Speaker 20: You live in a nice ass house. Why are you
Speaker 20: stealing food?
Speaker 1: Look at this?
Speaker 2: You have pillars. You have pillars? Okay, kind of like that.
Speaker 2: You have pillars? Clearly his pillars the uh the sign
Speaker 2: of opulence, the hallmark of decadence. It's like where I
Speaker 2: come from, I have any pillars. Okay, you got a
Speaker 2: pillar on this house. But he's saying, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: You got give it back? You have pillars? You doing?
Speaker 2: Do you think he stole the food? If if he
Speaker 2: took the food inside, he was curious, He's like, what
Speaker 2: is this? He opens it up and and then he goes, ah,
Speaker 2: they may have taken eats of food. Have you stolen
Speaker 2: the food? No, I don't feel like that's stealing. I
Speaker 2: don't feel like that stealing. I feel like you're you're confused.
Speaker 2: You said, did you order something? I didn't order anything.
Speaker 2: By this time, you got your hands sort of in
Speaker 2: it a little bit. They're never gonna, like Ceiling said
Speaker 2: at the jump, you're they're never gonna take this and
Speaker 2: give the same food to the next people. DoorDash would
Speaker 2: not want him to do that after his mistake.
Speaker 6: Now, if it were like food that I ordered and
Speaker 6: the DoorDash driver dropped it at my neighbor's house and
Speaker 6: my neighbor hate it, I would kind of be a
Speaker 6: little pissed about that because you know, like it happens
Speaker 6: in a neighborhood and you should see the name on
Speaker 6: it and and go all right, this is this is
Speaker 6: not for me. But you know, I would be pissed
Speaker 6: as the person who ordered the food, but as the
Speaker 6: door dash driver that was you mess.
Speaker 2: Up, man. The mistake has already been made, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the mistake is done. Once the mistake is done and
Speaker 2: the people bring the food into their house, that's that
Speaker 2: You're not You're not getting it back. But I do
Speaker 2: love you have pillars. This guy has pillars. You are
Speaker 2: stealing food?
Speaker 13: Are you?
Speaker 9: Are you?
Speaker 20: You live in a nice ass house. Why are you
Speaker 20: stealing food?
Speaker 2: Look at this? You have pillars?
Speaker 20: Why are you stealing food from a nineteen year old
Speaker 20: trying to make money? Are you that much of a
Speaker 20: fucking loser?
Speaker 2: Why can't you know the liver food is the right house.
Speaker 2: It's a simple mistake. Wife waited for the ninja like
Speaker 2: moment to jump into this and look at this guy
Speaker 2: though he's just sitting there. He's like, yes, he's viling.
Speaker 2: He's got a really creepy grin on his face. This
Speaker 2: homeowner here, Why didn't you just do a good job
Speaker 2: at your job. It's a simple mistake.
Speaker 20: Everybody makes mistakes. I'm a nineteen year old kid.
Speaker 2: You can't you can't, you kid, how old are you?
Speaker 2: How old are you? How old are you? You're a
Speaker 2: freaking loser, a loser? Yeah, true pillars? All right?
Speaker 6: You just kind of like negated your loser point by
Speaker 6: telling him what a nice set of pillars he's rocking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't do that, And the kid is like
Speaker 2: gets quiet when the guy gets up into his face,
Speaker 2: and then gets loud again when he goes back into
Speaker 2: you commit in the crime, dumb ass.
Speaker 20: Come on, I'm just trying to be nice.
Speaker 2: To deliver food.
Speaker 20: It took me to the wrong house, sling did.
Speaker 2: I don't give him. I just have your old day,
Speaker 2: I promise.
Speaker 20: I don't care. I'm gonna call the car.
Speaker 2: I don't give him as old day, she says, God,
Speaker 2: All right, what do we think? Who is in the right?
Speaker 2: Who is in the wrong here? Do you side with
Speaker 2: the homeowner who got the mistake delivery and then clearly
Speaker 2: ate the delivery or the door dash driver who's trying
Speaker 2: to fix his mistake and he's trying to deliver the
Speaker 2: food to the right house. Who's in the right, who's
Speaker 2: in the wrong. It's time for you to pick a
Speaker 2: side right now? A lot of people, I think, I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I think that's where I feel like people
Speaker 2: are going. I think a lot of people are going
Speaker 2: to side with the homeowner because it's, you know, a
Speaker 2: mistake that you get to reap the reward from, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: And it's a mistake in this kid's case, you know,
Speaker 2: is he does he have to eat the cost on this?
Speaker 2: I don't know how DoorDash works.
Speaker 6: I don't even know if that's legal for some uh,
Speaker 6: for some businesses to make your employee eat the cost
Speaker 6: of a mistake like that. But I do know that
Speaker 6: there has to be some sort of protocol where you
Speaker 6: go this was delivered to the wrong house. Usually it's like, hey,
Speaker 6: you you have finished your job, even though you delivered
Speaker 6: it to the wrong house.
Speaker 2: You gotta go.
Speaker 6: And then the person who ordered the food, it's up
Speaker 6: to them to contact DoorDash and be like, I never
Speaker 6: got my food, it went to the wrong house, cancel
Speaker 6: my order. And I have had this happen where I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 6: I got the food from the restaurant I ordered from,
Speaker 6: but it was somebody else's order. Mm hmmm, so they
Speaker 6: gave somebody else my order. I had that, and I
Speaker 6: got Cindy's order right. And Cindy also wanted Jeff's Bagel Run,
Speaker 6: which was which was good for me, and and her
Speaker 6: order was I mean, there's not a lot of variety
Speaker 6: in jeff Bagel Run. Everything's really good there. But her
Speaker 6: order was weirdly similar to mine.
Speaker 2: So just you keep it right.
Speaker 6: I kept it and ate it, and then I contacted
Speaker 6: Uber Eats and I send a picture and I said,
Speaker 6: this is not my order. I am not Cindy, and
Speaker 6: I got a refund and free breakfast.
Speaker 2: Nice. Nothing wrong with that, in my opinion, nothing wrong.
Speaker 2: There's some people saying the homeowners were really rude. It
Speaker 2: depends it was coming out I'm hot, though. Somebody says
Speaker 2: it depends on how long the food was at the
Speaker 2: house for. Does it so like if the food is
Speaker 2: only in the house for thirty seconds, then then I
Speaker 2: feel like if the moment it crosses the barrier of
Speaker 2: the door, you're not going to give it to the
Speaker 2: other people.
Speaker 6: I would say the moment that somebody breaks open that
Speaker 6: little sticker that they put on all the orders, now,
Speaker 6: mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you you also could have said, though,
Speaker 2: you could have said, well, you should have noticed that
Speaker 2: it wasn't yours and seeing if it was your neighbors
Speaker 2: or something. But that's not on the homeowner to do that,
Speaker 2: you know, the homeowner. It is for my neighbors to
Speaker 2: make sure that I get right over here. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm doing. There you go, nineteen year old door
Speaker 2: dash driver delivers order to the wrong house in Indiana.
Speaker 2: The homeowners refuse to return it, and there's our pick
Speaker 2: aside for right now. We do have another one in
Speaker 2: a little bit on the show, So we'll we'll get
Speaker 2: to that. Jimithy making another appearance on the news. I
Speaker 2: see Jimothy the Raccoon. Some more footage of the famous
Speaker 2: now viral raccoon who's got this weird shortened body who's
Speaker 2: taken the Internet by storm. New footage shows Jimithy Seattle's
Speaker 2: viral raccoon sensation back in May, a couple months before
Speaker 2: he found fame. Is this him? That's him? All right there?
Speaker 2: He is a little shortened little raccoon.
Speaker 11: Dude.
Speaker 2: We've got a sticker that says Jimothy says, Relax for
Speaker 2: you if you want that as your merch item, if
Speaker 2: you sign up for premium accounts secret shows access over
Speaker 2: at the news junkie dot com, or if you're already
Speaker 2: a subscriber, you can give there he is. He's so
Speaker 2: funny looking. Yeah, everybody loves this little Jimothy the Raccoon.
Speaker 2: The sticker is pretty great. If you looked out your
Speaker 2: back window and Jimithy was there, oh, I'd be thrilled.
Speaker 2: I'd be thrilled. This is going everywhere here. Somebody says,
Speaker 2: Jimothy fever has reached My grandfather and grandma said a text.
Speaker 2: He says, we finally set your grandpa up on Facebook
Speaker 2: so we could see photos of that raccoon. And then
Speaker 2: Grandpa texted the grandson, you've seen that raccoon, Jimothy. You
Speaker 2: see that rancon jimmoth Acon. That's when he wakes up.
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, it was an early grandpa tech that.
Speaker 5: Rancoon Jimothy running around there.
Speaker 2: See the viral grand politics there. It is Jimothy, very
Speaker 2: very famous these days. So now you know. And the
Speaker 2: last thing I saw that the Orlando Police Department had
Speaker 2: posted this, and this is a problem in a lot
Speaker 2: of different cities. The Orlando Police Department posted this and says,
Speaker 2: downtown Orlando is for everybody to enjoy, including kids and families.
Speaker 2: Come out, have fun and make good memories. But not
Speaker 2: like this. Well, they haven't been downtown in a while.
Speaker 2: Reckless riding, running red lights, blocking traffic, and blocking an
Speaker 2: ambulance and other emergency vehicles from responding puts everybody at risk,
Speaker 2: including the riders themselves. This type of dangerous behavior will
Speaker 2: not be tolerated. And they show this group of these
Speaker 2: these dudes on e bikes and stuff, these young kids
Speaker 2: that have swarmed the downtown area biker gang. Well they
Speaker 2: put some nefarious music to it too, grandsons of anarchy.
Speaker 2: Why isn't it illegal? Just arrest them if it illegal? Right, illegal?
Speaker 2: I don't know there's a booking ambulances. Yeah, they're they're
Speaker 2: just swarming the streets, all the e biker kids and
Speaker 2: rather they're running a red light. They show that they're
Speaker 2: running a red light as they all go through the
Speaker 2: intersection of them. Yeah, running a red light and blocking
Speaker 2: an ambulance this time with doing wheelies like this. This
Speaker 2: ends in five seconds. If the cops instead of posting
Speaker 2: this just start arresting some of the kids, that's it,
Speaker 2: you know that, like do we do this trick where
Speaker 2: people go, oh, don't know what this new phenomenon or
Speaker 2: trend is happening. It's unbelievable that people are doing this,
Speaker 2: And then you go, well, are you arresting them for it? No,
Speaker 2: we've been really just asking them not to do it. Well,
Speaker 2: guess what, I was a kid. Once you did the
Speaker 2: things you thought you could get away with. If you
Speaker 2: thought you could get away with it, you did it.
Speaker 2: And when you can get away with it, you're like,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna do it. So in the moment
Speaker 2: a couple of kids get arrested, parents start having some
Speaker 2: conversations and kids are like, I ain't worth it for me, man,
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that. Then this stops. That's it.
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously they're like they're in like a big
Speaker 2: grouping of kids on these e bikes, and you might say, well,
Speaker 2: who were they hurting? I mean, you can't have one
Speaker 2: hundred kids on e bikes swarming the red lights and
Speaker 2: blocking ambulances. The cop bike tried to get them. Oh
Speaker 2: he got one. He got one of them. Freeze, scumbag,
Speaker 2: He's got them. The kid was in the middle of
Speaker 2: doing a wheel and the cop pulled them off. The
Speaker 2: cops added whoop, whoop. That's the sound of the police
Speaker 2: to their own video. That's fantastic. This was them adding
Speaker 2: the music to this. Two of them got dragged down
Speaker 2: by one of the bike cops in downtown. All right.
Speaker 2: At least they got a couple of them bodycam footage,
Speaker 2: and there'll be people that are like, they're just kids,
Speaker 2: they're just doing the I want kids to be off
Speaker 2: the internet and out enjoying things, but they can't all
Speaker 2: be together not following the rules of the road and
Speaker 2: stuff like still a crime. They can't do this, but
Speaker 2: let us know what you think. This is just one
Speaker 2: example of this happening. It's probably happened in your city
Speaker 2: as well, no matter where you are today quick Break,
Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll do jury duty, including a
Speaker 2: story about this guy battling the irs and it's so crazy.
Speaker 2: What has happened to this guy. We'll give you the
Speaker 2: details on this man's situation that's coming up next on
Speaker 2: the News Junkie. A couple of emails rolling into the studio.
Speaker 2: Let's see what we got here at tips at thenewsjunkie
Speaker 2: dot com. This person says they're surprised at you on
Speaker 2: that pick a side Sea Lane. I'm surprised at you, Silane.
Speaker 2: I remember when that guy refused to give the million
Speaker 2: dollars back to the bank that actually deposited into his account.
Speaker 2: You said he should give the money back, but now
Speaker 2: you said the guy should keep the food that was
Speaker 2: accidentally dropped off at his house. I'm on the guy's side,
Speaker 2: though I would have been chewing while opening the door.
Speaker 2: Deep down, you're just like me, says this email or
Speaker 2: to Celan.
Speaker 6: I don't remember exactly the guy that got a million
Speaker 6: dollars from the bank. But a million dollars and a
Speaker 6: bag of taco bell are two vastly different things.
Speaker 2: Yes, they are very very different. Yes, m Ik says,
Speaker 2: or this is Mike actually, I see, I was just
Speaker 2: looking at the email address, m Ike actually, says the
Speaker 2: tips of the news Junki dot com. The homeowner is
Speaker 2: a douche in that story. The kids should wait a
Speaker 2: few months and accidentally deliver food again with some x
Speaker 2: lax in it. That'll get him, says Mike. Sure recovered,
Speaker 2: Let's see Sport says what's up junkies. The that the
Speaker 2: DoorDash kid wanted the food back so bad tells me
Speaker 2: he's the one who realized his mistake before the customer
Speaker 2: DoorDash found out. And if that angry homeowner would have
Speaker 2: given him the food back, there's no doubt in my
Speaker 2: mind that little bastard would have delivered it to the
Speaker 2: correct address like nothing happened. Thank you for your emails.
Speaker 2: Right now, let's get into it. Let's do jury duty.
Speaker 1: Court is now in session, so put your phone down
Speaker 1: and pay attention before we call the bailiff over to
Speaker 1: whip your ass. You're knowing Jury Duty with the news Junkie.

Speaker 13: So?
Speaker 10: I went to Athens, then we went to Crete, then
Speaker 10: we went to Naxos and Santorini.
Speaker 6: Uh, Santorini is like the bucket list one for my wife.
Speaker 6: She wants to go there real bad. And I have
Speaker 6: a feeling we're going next year. I haven't even heard
Speaker 6: of Santorini. What I guess so, yeah, pillars, Yeah, you
Speaker 6: got pillars.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 10: Santuri is the one that if you ever see like
Speaker 10: a picture of grease with all the nice like blue
Speaker 10: and white roofs and like they.
Speaker 6: Have all of the like really pretty houses on the
Speaker 6: side of a cliff that ever looks like every every
Speaker 6: plot there is on the side of a cliff that
Speaker 6: just overlooks beautiful ocean.
Speaker 2: Is this because like social media influencers have taken photos
Speaker 2: and made that like a hotspot for people to go
Speaker 2: to pretty much? Okay, I mean it sounds like a
Speaker 2: good time. But Moses is with us. If you need
Speaker 2: an attorney, he's your guy. Just call MO dot com.
Speaker 2: Just call MO dot com eight hundred call MO. All right,
Speaker 2: let's see what we have for you. I want to do.
Speaker 2: We have questions that we should work in. Maybe we
Speaker 2: do it. We can work them in a bit though too, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: we do. Some of them are pretty old.
Speaker 6: And then I have we have some that were from
Speaker 6: this week about the couple that was busted having sex
Speaker 6: in the car.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, okay, let me let me play this
Speaker 2: because I teased it MO, the I R S is
Speaker 2: threatening to seize this guy's farm. Here the details of
Speaker 2: what happened from this Channel five report. And this guy
Speaker 2: is in a really rough situation. Here's what happened, and
Speaker 2: listen to this. You can't get you to computer. I'll
Speaker 2: go back to that the volume. When you need help,
Speaker 2: you can't get a hold of nobody. You gotta talk
Speaker 2: to the dying computer. But when you need the help,
Speaker 2: you can't get ahold nobody.
Speaker 1: You have to talk to it.
Speaker 2: They ain't computer trul Well.
Speaker 4: They call me right before I went on television this
Speaker 4: last time and said it was settled from Marshall Bagman Dolphins.
Speaker 18: This notice sent in early July, demands he paid thousands
Speaker 18: of dollars in interest on that money. He says he
Speaker 18: never spent or risk having his property seized.
Speaker 4: I wish you'd get it straightened out and get one
Speaker 4: person to work on his students stand league letters all
Speaker 4: over the United States.
Speaker 10: I'm crying and.
Speaker 2: Preached the people to pray for me.
Speaker 18: The seventy six year old says he's done everything he
Speaker 18: can to make it run, including meeting with the IRS
Speaker 18: Taxpayer Advocate Service in downtown Nashville, an effort, he says,
Speaker 18: got him nowhere.
Speaker 2: We'll put the sound effects any louder on this report.
Speaker 2: Jesus right, you could barely hear the reporter the bus
Speaker 2: driving by. But what happened to this guy, I guess
Speaker 2: is they put some money in his account, so they
Speaker 2: put they accidentally sent him a refund, and he immediately said,
Speaker 2: this refund is not correct. I don't want this. Take
Speaker 2: it back from me. And then finally when they took
Speaker 2: the refront back from him, they said, now we want
Speaker 2: interest on the refund, and you owe us money or
Speaker 2: we're gonna seize your farm. And he's like, so you
Speaker 2: made a mistake. I didn't touch the money, and now
Speaker 2: you want me to pay the interest on the money
Speaker 2: you accidentally put in my account. That's nonsense. That's what's
Speaker 2: happened doing him. Let me me it might spell this
Speaker 2: out here. I said, what are you doing? He said, Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm playing my barking Bayle on my telephone. I said,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I said, I got a little low
Speaker 2: flip phone. I don't know how to do that.
Speaker 1: It's simple.
Speaker 18: What he wants for the iris to stop coming after him.
Speaker 1: That little one.
Speaker 20: Yeah, he gets called in advance.
Speaker 2: He takes the old ones in there and can't get
Speaker 2: out more than just this reporter had no idea what
Speaker 2: she was in for with this guy. Huh. He's talking
Speaker 2: about his goats and stuff. He's like little one gets
Speaker 2: caught in the fans out there exposition. This guy hasn't
Speaker 2: had a visitor in a while. Josh, Okay, he's excited
Speaker 2: to have somebody.
Speaker 4: Videos all over and done with it. Praise the Lord, Amen,
Speaker 4: because I've cried. I'm about to cry now. I don't
Speaker 4: know one of them.
Speaker 21: I have connected mister Kirby with the Nashville tax attorney
Speaker 21: who deals with IRS disputes. They are planning to talk
Speaker 21: on the phone on Friday to see what other options
Speaker 21: they would still be available to him.
Speaker 2: So I guess this dude got this money and then
Speaker 2: he said, you made a mistake and gave it back.
Speaker 2: The government made the mistake, but then they told him
Speaker 2: that he owed interest on it and that they were
Speaker 2: going to take his farm if you didn't do this.
Speaker 2: Has you ever heard anything like this, Moses or.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's not as uncommon as you think.
Speaker 10: I mean, obviously it's a little bit unique here where
Speaker 10: he got a refund that wasn't correct, But dealing with
Speaker 10: IRS is like dealing with the mafia. I mean, they're
Speaker 10: gonna do whatever they want to do.
Speaker 2: Just charge you interest on it, even though it was
Speaker 2: their mistake.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, because you had the money. So now if
Speaker 10: you went to court, I mean, you could argue that
Speaker 10: you attempted to give it back and that you know,
Speaker 10: there's some some equity arguments that you could certainly make.
Speaker 10: But by the time you get to court, you know,
Speaker 10: now you're the interest is going to own crew. Even more,
Speaker 10: you could potentially have to face attorney's fees. So they
Speaker 10: cut him a check. If would the simple answer just
Speaker 10: be that he didn't deposit the check. Is it because
Speaker 10: he deposited the check that he now owes the interest
Speaker 10: on it? Here the details, So let me give you
Speaker 10: these real quick. This might change your mind. Wilson Perry
Speaker 10: Kirby is his name. You just want to do the
Speaker 10: right thing.
Speaker 2: The seventy six year old Coopertown farmer and retired department
Speaker 2: A highway department worker got a twenty thousand dollars tax
Speaker 2: refund from the IRS a couple of years ago, and
Speaker 2: he said the money was sent to him by mistake.
Speaker 2: He tried to give it back immediately, even enlistening the
Speaker 2: help of his accountant. Years later, he's still fighting the
Speaker 2: consequences they said. Instead of resolving this issue, Kirby says,
Speaker 2: the IRS charged him interest on the mind he tried
Speaker 2: to return and ultimately kept his entire twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: tax refund.
Speaker 6: Okay, quick, I had, he said, add on to my
Speaker 6: last question, because I don't think judging by this guy's
Speaker 6: overall demeanor and his flip phone and his uh disdain
Speaker 6: towards talking to the computer, I don't think that he
Speaker 6: has a direct deposit set up with the IRS. Maybe
Speaker 6: I could be wrong, But if.
Speaker 2: The here gas, if the easy answer is not depositing
Speaker 2: the check in which you never received the money that
Speaker 2: was sent to you by mistake, What if you do
Speaker 2: have a direct deposit where the IRS just wires you
Speaker 2: this refund and now now you didn't you didn't touch anything,
Speaker 2: you didn't lift a finger to receive this money, and
Speaker 2: now they want the interest back on it.
Speaker 1: How does that?
Speaker 2: How is that legal?
Speaker 10: Well, I mean it depends what action you took at
Speaker 10: that time, right, So if you wrote them back a
Speaker 10: letter immediately, you know when it was direct deposited in
Speaker 10: your account? Said, I received this money I believe was
Speaker 10: sent to me an air. Please provide, you know, wiring
Speaker 10: instructions to send it back to you or payment instructions
Speaker 10: to send it back to you immediately. Then you have
Speaker 10: an argument there that you've made an attempt to return
Speaker 10: the funds to them, and you have not benefited from
Speaker 10: those funds. You've kept them in a separate account, so
Speaker 10: that you should not be charged the interest on it.
Speaker 10: But if you just let it sit there and ignore
Speaker 10: it and don't go through the proper channels, don't document
Speaker 10: that you tried to give it back, then potentially they
Speaker 10: can make an argument that you owe interest. I mean, ultimately,
Speaker 10: I think if he gets to the right people here,
Speaker 10: you know, has a lawyer who can negotiate this, they'll
Speaker 10: probably end up waiving the interest, given that it was
Speaker 10: their mistake. But obviously it's very frustrating.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, all right, Mo hit the nail on
Speaker 2: the head there. Obviously at the end, it's somebody, as
Speaker 2: you've seen, an attorney for this stuff, Like I had
Speaker 2: a problem like this one time and MO helped me
Speaker 2: out with it. The State of Florida made a mistake
Speaker 2: with the child support that I was paying for my
Speaker 2: son Dylan, and look how you paid him back and
Speaker 2: gave away his phone number on live stream. And then
Speaker 2: I talked them so and they had made a mistake
Speaker 2: and I was trying to call them like this guy
Speaker 2: was and it's really hard to get a hold of them.
Speaker 2: And they were talking about like enforcement things that they
Speaker 2: were going to do against me, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2: And I told Moses what was going on, and you know,
Speaker 2: I'll just tell you, I'm MO got on the phone
Speaker 2: with the RS and it just it ended like all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, they're not hounding me anymore. Once an
Speaker 2: attorney gets involved, sometimes they know the right things to say.
Speaker 2: I can sit on the phone until I'm read in
Speaker 2: the face. Moses knows what to say sometimes and then
Speaker 2: you can you can help out in these circumstances.
Speaker 10: Well, not only what to say with the right channels
Speaker 10: to go through, right, So they may not be calling
Speaker 10: the phone number. It may be sending them a certified
Speaker 10: letter or in a child support case and maybe filing
Speaker 10: a specific motion to document exactly what's happening. But a
Speaker 10: lot of times people don't know the right channel or
Speaker 10: what to say, and so they don't do the right
Speaker 10: thing to protect themselves, and that's where they get in trouble.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I want to get into some more
Speaker 2: of the questions we have for Moses. We do have
Speaker 2: another pick aside that I think will be perfect to
Speaker 2: have an attorney on in fact, so we'll get into
Speaker 2: that when we come back in a whole lot more
Speaker 2: on the way as we roll into the Power Hour
Speaker 2: that is coming up next. In the news Junkie, we
Speaker 2: got a friend Mode at the Wit law firm finally
Speaker 2: joining us. I thought he hated us, I do. I
Speaker 2: thought he was sailing off into the sunset and just
Speaker 2: like he's like going to hang out with the Tampa people. Now,
Speaker 2: you know, it's like that's pretty cool over there. You
Speaker 2: got this, you got like a comedy show you're doing
Speaker 2: with them already. There's like there's a lot of signs.
Speaker 10: How many comedy shows in mind? Have you shown up to.
Speaker 2: One? I showed up to one with a virtual one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I was there.
Speaker 5: How can we verify that?
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 2: I was there, all right, I know I saw the
Speaker 2: whole thing.
Speaker 6: I have access to the list of email addresses that
Speaker 6: signed up for the virtual comedy Jail I'm sure I
Speaker 6: was there.
Speaker 2: I swear to God. My appearance is definitely down there
Speaker 2: in the documents somewhere if you want to check that out.
Speaker 2: But okay, we got a couple of things to do.
Speaker 2: But let's let Selane play whatever clip he's gathered here
Speaker 2: for today. Let's do the Power Hour.
Speaker 1: They said it couldn't be done.
Speaker 2: Then they said, oh hellujah. Jesus is great and Jesus
Speaker 2: is really good and he's number one. We all love Jesus.
Speaker 2: And I'm justin Bieber right now.
Speaker 16: It's time for the Power Hour on the news. Chunky
Speaker 16: Jesus does sound a little bit like butters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, at least that's better than what Sealan did earlier,
Speaker 2: because people are angry, Like here's here's what are the
Speaker 2: dispatches about this. People are mad that you did this?
Speaker 7: My God?
Speaker 2: It is an awesome.
Speaker 11: From we.
Speaker 2: Love my God.
Speaker 7: It is an awesome got everybody know God so catchy
Speaker 7: stop ear worm is gonna get you all. I love it,
Speaker 7: oh so much, my God, He's an awesome God. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 7: thank you sir. Appreciate you appreciate that. Yeah I did,
Speaker 7: I had I had it coming for sure. Uh you
Speaker 7: could join us on the show if you'd like to.
Speaker 7: If you have any questions from Moses, you can even
Speaker 7: call us up. It's one triple eight four four three
Speaker 7: News if you want to call with any questions for
Speaker 7: Moses to wit one Triple eight four four three News.
Speaker 7: But uh, I do have another pick aside. If you
Speaker 7: guys want to jump into this, we have an intro
Speaker 7: for Thatlana, we do. Sorry God, this weekend. I'll put
Speaker 7: it on my buttons, I swear to God. Will all right,
Speaker 7: here goes with the intro.
Speaker 12: Five.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 2: This went down in Tampa, your where your new friends exist. Moses.
Speaker 2: All right, this is when someone went down in Tampa
Speaker 2: where your new friends. Now this I don't know if
Speaker 2: this is one of your new friends, but weird, we're
Speaker 2: gonna find out. Such a bit man, not bitter. I'm
Speaker 2: I'm only mildly old, but that's fine. Here we go.
Speaker 2: This isn't Tampa, and it's some guys that confronted some
Speaker 2: young men selling in their neighborhood. You got to pick
Speaker 2: a side. Do you side with the old dudes or
Speaker 2: the sales kids? Those are the choices here. Let's go
Speaker 2: to the tape. Moses, you could tell us what's going
Speaker 2: on here legally as well our attorney along with us.
Speaker 2: Here we go. Do you censor this? Yeah, that's crazy
Speaker 2: to know. Shure your business cord. Oh all right, you
Speaker 2: probably can't see exactly what's going on yet. But this
Speaker 2: gentleman who is as now talking to these sales kids,
Speaker 2: he has a gun in his hands. He has a gun,
Speaker 2: a handgun in his hand, pulled out here, and he's
Speaker 2: questioning these sales guys who are wandering around his neighborhood.
Speaker 2: And from what I could tell, I guess these guys
Speaker 2: didn't break any laws. This is Charles Hoffman who approached
Speaker 2: three men canvassing a neighborhood near Gulf Port, and the
Speaker 2: men were looking to wash windows in detailed cars. So
Speaker 2: he goes up with his gun out in his hand,
Speaker 2: moses down by his side here and he says to
Speaker 2: these young guys like, hey, give me some identification, show
Speaker 2: me what business you work with, et cetera.
Speaker 15: So I don't believe this is to be necessary, but
Speaker 15: I don't I don't appreciate you come up to me
Speaker 15: that we look at a handle the WW come you're all.
Speaker 2: Going door to door? Why are you picking in house
Speaker 2: see the gun.
Speaker 13: Because there are some people without cars, some people with cars,
Speaker 13: some people don't have cars, some people do have cars,
Speaker 13: and we're are specific service is cleaning cars mobile detailing
Speaker 13: tickets to them rather than having to.
Speaker 15: Go to a shop.
Speaker 2: Okay, my car's right there. You walk right by me.
Speaker 2: Why did you stop and ask me? Because wait, wait,
Speaker 2: he's mad because they didn't knock on his door. I
Speaker 2: think he's just doing sort of an investigation here, which
Speaker 2: does he even have the right to do that with
Speaker 2: his gun?
Speaker 10: Out Moses No, I mean he's you know, depending what
Speaker 10: he does with that gun. Obviously there could be some
Speaker 10: potential issues here.
Speaker 2: Like pulling a gun in the middle of an interaction
Speaker 2: like this, or like the start of an interaction like this.
Speaker 2: It's obviously a very aggressive move and it's a threat
Speaker 2: to the people that you're doing this on.
Speaker 6: Has he breached the line between open carry and brandishing
Speaker 6: by just holding the gun or what are we thinking
Speaker 6: here as far as potential intimidation or threat Well, so far,
Speaker 6: he hasn't really made any sort of threat that I've heard.
Speaker 6: He hasn't said I could shoot you or I'm going
Speaker 6: to shoot you. Because if he does that while holding
Speaker 6: the gun. He obviously has the ability to carry out
Speaker 6: that threat.
Speaker 10: I haven't. You know, the video is a little grainy here.
Speaker 10: It's hard to see whether he's you know, I kind
Speaker 10: of aimed at him or pointed at him, or brandished
Speaker 10: it towards them, you know, so far it's been aimed down.
Speaker 10: But yeah, it could constitute improper exhibition of a firearm,
Speaker 10: depending what he's doing with it, if he's exhibiting an angry,
Speaker 10: angry or careless or rude or threatening manner. So he's
Speaker 10: really right on the borderline of that.
Speaker 2: He's got it down by his side at this point
Speaker 2: in time, somebody's asking her those bullet holes in his shirt.
Speaker 5: Holes he's got.
Speaker 2: The guy's got a very holy shirt on, folks, and
Speaker 2: he's just out there questioning these sales kids who are
Speaker 2: in this neighborhood, and they seem plenty of nine.
Speaker 14: We're coming around.
Speaker 10: We're just checking it out.
Speaker 15: Only reason why I didn't go up too as I
Speaker 15: was actually just I was just checking out the.
Speaker 2: I can tell you're checking out the homes. I wonder why.
Speaker 22: Yes, I understand, I understand how to be worried, but
Speaker 22: we don't have any bad intentions at all, So we
Speaker 22: just want to do They're very polite. Were college kids
Speaker 22: trying to make money this summer.
Speaker 15: Nothing on our record.
Speaker 2: If you want to look it up, you got idea,
Speaker 2: I want to look it up? All right, well I
Speaker 2: can tell you. Can you please put that away you want?
Speaker 1: We're not doing wrong.
Speaker 2: We're not We're not me. I feel like a lots
Speaker 2: on the street.
Speaker 4: You no, we we're not.
Speaker 15: We're not here for nothing. Like guys wanted to get
Speaker 15: some parts then and just make some money.
Speaker 2: I apologize. Why are you even apologize?
Speaker 20: I do appreciate.
Speaker 2: A chest, I might add fair point, Josh, yeah, one
Speaker 2: hundred percent. Like this guy has a gun out, so
Speaker 2: they're trying to be as as nice a plied as
Speaker 2: they can. But you know, if if he didn't have
Speaker 2: a gun, my argument would be, like, what business is
Speaker 2: it of yours? You're not a police officer. You're demanding
Speaker 2: identification for people. You're doing this. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you could say a gun point, but like it feels
Speaker 2: that way. Under duress, certainly under duress. Kids, you wentn't
Speaker 2: that house?
Speaker 7: Then you walked over there, went to a house over there,
Speaker 7: you walked over Why didn't you go to that house
Speaker 7: and in that house.
Speaker 4: You care.
Speaker 2: A problem with you're going door to door. That's one
Speaker 2: thing that's not right. There's a few that like, bro.
Speaker 7: Why do you care?
Speaker 2: What is the difference if they go to random houses
Speaker 2: or every single house, or like maybe they look at
Speaker 2: some houses. These kids are skipping houses. Yeah, you're not
Speaker 2: doing this sales pitch to everyone, equal opportunities solicitor. All right,
Speaker 2: maybe they look at the house and they go looks
Speaker 2: like nobody's home there. Let's go to the next one.
Speaker 10: I mean, I think he's insinuating their casing houses, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 10: one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: He's saying, you guys are trying to break into these
Speaker 2: houses because you're wandering around the neighborhood. That's why he's
Speaker 2: pulled the gun call.
Speaker 5: Because I'm with something different, I'm hard to hear it.
Speaker 15: Okay, my best said, there's a few that I have
Speaker 15: the which if there is no no car on the
Speaker 15: driveway or if there's a little bit in the front,
Speaker 15: I should not be hitting them first. I know it
Speaker 15: sounds a little bit stupid, but when it comes to
Speaker 15: either people being outside or whatever, they.
Speaker 2: Choose to have me hit the other ones first and
Speaker 2: then loop around.
Speaker 15: So it's like a little it's a little like curve
Speaker 15: that I will go in and out on the certain
Speaker 15: websites of the streets. So if I go and I
Speaker 15: saw you my app certain roads in certain houses, and
Speaker 15: then come back, it's like by number that I'm doing
Speaker 15: it correctly that house I did.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, if you guys are crownrown, I would love.
Speaker 11: Well.
Speaker 2: The kids are being so unbelievably nice. Keeps bringing back
Speaker 2: to Josh's point that because there's a gun there, that's
Speaker 2: it's probably why this happened. But they're being nice and respectful,
Speaker 2: and this guy is such an unhinged individual that they're
Speaker 2: they're like complimenting them, like, please don't shoot us, sir.
Speaker 22: I understand, like you thought were threat, but we don't
Speaker 22: mean any harm. But we don't, I understand, sir.
Speaker 6: Nothing to do with color, all right, buddy, you're protesting
Speaker 6: a little too.
Speaker 2: He just realized I'm a white man with a gun
Speaker 2: out at these young black salespeople who are going around
Speaker 2: this day. Nothing to do with color.
Speaker 17: Uh.
Speaker 2: He just wanted to get that out there.
Speaker 22: But we don't mean any harm, but don't I understand sir.
Speaker 2: Nothing to do with cold color anybody. Everybody starts at
Speaker 2: zero and your attitude makes you go up or down.
Speaker 2: It's real simple. What does that say about? It's always
Speaker 2: ready to shoot, all right, just because you know the
Speaker 2: gun is cocked and ready to shoot. The guys like
Speaker 2: this ready sho has, always ready to shoot, always ready
Speaker 2: to shoot, all right. I believe that people have the
Speaker 2: right to have guns and defend themselves. I don't believe,
Speaker 2: maybe this is a radical position on my part, that
Speaker 2: that authorizes you to go around and enforce your own
Speaker 2: personal wants and wishes on the neighborhood. Hey, who are you?
Speaker 2: What are you doing over here and pull out a
Speaker 2: gun to do this? I don't think you should be
Speaker 2: able to do that. Now, I'm I'm saying that I'm
Speaker 2: on the side of the kids. They seem polite. I
Speaker 2: don't necessarily like people going to sell stuff at my house,
Speaker 2: but you know, so what right, I'm not gonna go
Speaker 2: out there and badger them and certainly do that at gunpoint.
Speaker 2: I'm going to side with the kids who seem polite here.
Speaker 2: See where are you at on the kids? For sure? Yeah?
Speaker 6: You know, it's definitely this guy is obnoxious. He he
Speaker 6: needs a new shirt. You need to definitely need a
Speaker 6: new shirt.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 5: I'm on the kid's side. I'll let mister Lane finish this.
Speaker 5: I was pretty much done. Okay, sorry, I'm sorry, Moses
Speaker 5: to it. From a legal perspective, it appears that this
Speaker 5: guy hasn't done anything wrong. They haven't charged them with anything.
Speaker 10: The gun wielding individual, yes, yeah, I mean, like I said,
Speaker 10: it's on the line. If they wanted to charge him
Speaker 10: with improper exhibition of a firearm, which is a misdemeanor,
Speaker 10: they certainly probably could do that. But I think ultimately,
Speaker 10: given that he kind of holds it down, it would
Speaker 10: maybe not be considered aggressive. But with the way he's
Speaker 10: talking and the things he's asking, I would argue that
Speaker 10: these kids probably did not feel free to leave at
Speaker 10: that point.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So I think there's there's some potential, you know, liability
Speaker 10: on this guy, and some potential criminal charges that could
Speaker 10: be brought if they wanted to bring them. I mean,
Speaker 10: these kids may also not want to press charges and
Speaker 10: just want to get the hell away from this guy.
Speaker 2: Well, at least in the moment they wanted to. Here's
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Times that says arm panels. Man demanded
Speaker 2: strangers show him ID. Police say it was legal. Charles
Speaker 2: Hoffman will not face charges after putting a gun on
Speaker 2: three college students canvassing to promote their businesses in June
Speaker 2: of this year. The young entrepreneurs carefully picked their outfits
Speaker 2: a collared shirt, long black pants, blah blah blah. They
Speaker 2: knocked on doors in the neighborhood. They encountered this guy.
Speaker 2: The nineteen year old keeps the van full of equipment
Speaker 2: vacuum extension, cord, pressure washer, and steamer. They're going around
Speaker 2: trying to get gigs to promote their business, which I
Speaker 2: happen to think is a good thing. I like these
Speaker 2: kids being entrepreneurs. I like them trying to offer a
Speaker 2: service to people.
Speaker 6: I feel like the headline here is a don't it's
Speaker 6: not totally misleading, but they're like armed man demands to
Speaker 6: see ID.
Speaker 2: Police say it's legal.
Speaker 6: Well, I think it's legal because he didn't officially like
Speaker 6: brandish the weapon, and Roses said, like, okay, it might
Speaker 6: be a little stretched to do the Uh what did
Speaker 6: you call it? Improper display exhibition? Improper exhibition of a weapon.
Speaker 6: Sure he may not have properly exhibited his weapon. However,
Speaker 6: the legality of demanding the kids' IDs, like, they didn't
Speaker 6: have to show them, show them their ideas.
Speaker 10: No, they didn't. They could have walked away. It said, yeah,
Speaker 10: bugger off, I have no interest in giving that to you.
Speaker 2: Bugger off. Bugger off where London? Yes, indeed yes. Hoffman
Speaker 2: thought they may have been attempting to burglarize residences. The
Speaker 2: report states. The deputies told him to call the police
Speaker 2: next time, and he said he would. His actions appeared
Speaker 2: justified because of the young man's suspicious activity. The deputy
Speaker 2: wrote in the report he did not wish to get
Speaker 2: Charles Hoffman in trouble. Uh, but he threatened us. We
Speaker 2: didn't know our rights and we felt rushed to leave
Speaker 2: the situation. The officers of the scene issued a warning
Speaker 2: to Speaker, Lenhardt and Salinas after for soliciting without a permit.
Speaker 2: They gave a warning to the kids. They're like, you
Speaker 2: guys need to watch it out here. Kimberly. The deputy
Speaker 2: recommended the young men wear branded company clothing while canvass thing.
Speaker 2: In an emailed statement, they called Hoffman's actions inappropriate but
Speaker 2: not illegal. The young men deserve recognition. They acted respectfully
Speaker 2: and calmly, like I feel like the cops even kind
Speaker 2: of talking to the kids like that sends the wrong
Speaker 2: message here because what they're doing, even though it might
Speaker 2: be annoying to somebody or look like they're going to
Speaker 2: rob someplace, what they're doing is actually a good thing.
Speaker 2: They're not doing what a lot of their other friends
Speaker 2: are doing getting in trouble, and what the other guy
Speaker 2: was doing is an aggressive, bad thing. In my opinion,
Speaker 2: I just yeah that one. This one's an easy one
Speaker 2: for me. But let us know what you think. Send
Speaker 2: a dispatch over at the Newsjunkie dot com and or
Speaker 2: it's a quick break, very quick break. When we come back,
Speaker 2: we'll get into some questions with Moses Dewitzeland says, we've
Speaker 2: got the list ready to go, so we'll see what
Speaker 2: happens with that. That's coming up next and the News Chunkie,
Speaker 2: if you have any questions, maybe you think you might
Speaker 2: have a case. Maybe you got into an accident, maybe
Speaker 2: something happened to you. Maybe you're not sure, but you
Speaker 2: got injured and you got questions for an attorney, but
Speaker 2: you haven't been able to ask one one triple eight
Speaker 2: four four to three News if you want to call
Speaker 2: the show and we'll put you on with Moses and
Speaker 2: you can ask your question if you have a question
Speaker 2: one triple eight four four to three news. We got
Speaker 2: the new system up and running. If you have a question,
Speaker 2: we'll get you right on with Moses and you can
Speaker 2: ask them whatever is on your mind. In the meantime,
Speaker 2: we do have questions that we've built up in the
Speaker 2: eighteen years since Moses has been on the show to
Speaker 2: visit us. So I think we can possibly do one
Speaker 2: of those mo one that we talked about Steil and
Speaker 2: I know this is when we planned on getting into.
Speaker 2: There was a pick aside we did this week where
Speaker 2: there was a man and a woman in a car.
Speaker 2: They were having sex with each other in this car,
Speaker 2: like outside the bar, in the parking lot or something,
Speaker 2: and the cop came out there and was questioning them. Now,
Speaker 2: the woman's had the keys in the car, I believe
Speaker 2: in the car might have been on, but they were,
Speaker 2: you know, they were doing their thing on like the backseat.
Speaker 2: You're certainly not driving. They were not driving, no, and
Speaker 2: they were, you know, they were up to other things.
Speaker 2: And the cop comes out and there's a couple of
Speaker 2: things we had questions on. But number one was he
Speaker 2: let the guy go because it wasn't his car. Okay,
Speaker 2: but he arrested the woman for a dui even though
Speaker 2: she wasn't driving it, but her her keys were in it.
Speaker 2: She was in the backseat having sex with this guy.
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 2: Is that how that works? Is how protocol goes? Yeah?
Speaker 10: I mean, if you're intoxicating and you're in your vehicle
Speaker 10: with your keys, you can be arrested for a dui.
Speaker 2: Celian had a twist on this though, Okay, how does it?
Speaker 6: First of all, they let the guy go, but how
Speaker 6: would they not know that he would have been the
Speaker 6: driver if somebody were driving?
Speaker 2: Is it because it's her car?
Speaker 10: Probably her car? Maybe where the keys were? Who was
Speaker 10: a possession of the keys? Who was within the Yeah,
Speaker 10: who was sitting in the driver's see that kind of stuff.
Speaker 10: What if they were both in the drummer's well, then
Speaker 10: who's got the keys shoved?
Speaker 2: So if he like, if he was holding the keys
Speaker 2: or something, then he would have got the dui potentially. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 2: let's see. Hold on one second, let's go over to
Speaker 2: Uhi Eddie, are you whether you got a question from
Speaker 2: out Yeah, Well, I live in.
Speaker 14: A condo downtown and have an issue where over the
Speaker 14: past year so we've had our upstairs neighbor lets their
Speaker 14: dogs heat and poop on their balcony, but then they
Speaker 14: clean it by just stumping either buckets of water out
Speaker 14: on it where it falls down onto our patio, all
Speaker 14: over our plants in patio furniture. And then more recently
Speaker 14: we've had straight don poop and urine falling from the
Speaker 14: upstairs balcony onto our patio. We have pets and plants
Speaker 14: and furniture, Like I said, that are making damage from that,
Speaker 14: and I wondered what kind of legal action we can
Speaker 14: take towards that.
Speaker 2: To get into stuff.
Speaker 14: We have complained to our building management. They say they've
Speaker 14: warned the resident above us and that they keep promising
Speaker 14: to stop. But it's occurred probably four or five times
Speaker 14: up to the past year.
Speaker 10: Damn interesting, and the HOA hasn't done anything about it.
Speaker 14: You haven't contacted the HOA directly, just a property management company, Okay.
Speaker 10: I mean I would probably send a letter to the
Speaker 10: HOA outlining exactly what's going on. I would venture to
Speaker 10: guess that this is somehow a violation of the rules
Speaker 10: and regulations of the condominium association there, and if it's not,
Speaker 10: it certainly should be. I can't imagine that they allow
Speaker 10: FECs just to fly from balcony to balcony. The other
Speaker 10: thing you could try to do, and you may not
Speaker 10: have as many legal teeth here, but you could just
Speaker 10: start invoicing them every time you have to clean it
Speaker 10: up and see if maybe that gets their attention as well.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, Eddie, you hear I appreciate it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you, Eddie, appreciate it. You can dial
Speaker 2: us up if you have a question from oh, Triple
Speaker 2: eight four four to three news, Triple eight four four
Speaker 2: three news. See what we're gonna say.
Speaker 6: Back to the people having sex in the car or
Speaker 6: just this idea that you can get a dui in
Speaker 6: a car without driving it. In general, a lot of
Speaker 6: times it's like because the person had the keys, the
Speaker 6: person was technically able to drive the car. What if
Speaker 6: it was one of those situations And this is very
Speaker 6: like hypothetical, but like you know how sometimes you have
Speaker 6: the keyfob where if it goes too far from the car,
Speaker 6: the car won't let you drive it, right, even if.
Speaker 2: The car is on.
Speaker 6: If you were trying to do your due diligence as
Speaker 6: an intoxicated person and you just left the keys inside,
Speaker 6: but the car was on because you're trying to get
Speaker 6: some AC and there's no physical way you could put
Speaker 6: that car and drive. Would you have like some sort
Speaker 6: of case against this DUI charge if they try to
Speaker 6: give you one.
Speaker 10: Well, potentially the whole the whole thing with the DUI
Speaker 10: is whether you're an actual physical control of the vehicle.
Speaker 10: So if there's no way you can put the vehicle
Speaker 10: and drive, and you could prove that, then they probably
Speaker 10: can't convict you of the d UI. But if you're
Speaker 10: within the vehicle, you're an actual physical control of it,
Speaker 10: meaning basically, at anytime you could put it in drive.
Speaker 10: And if you think about the intent behind behind this law,
Speaker 10: it's basically that. So you know, somebody gets pulled over
Speaker 10: or are they they're getting approached by a cop, they
Speaker 10: pull the keys out and like chuck them into the
Speaker 10: passenger seat and say, oh, I was driving, I was
Speaker 10: about to drive, you know, because you know, police officers
Speaker 10: want to be able to stop people from about to
Speaker 10: you know, uh, commit a to UI. They don't try
Speaker 10: to let them go in that situation. So as long
Speaker 10: as you're not in actual physical control, meaning there's no
Speaker 10: way you could actually operate the vehicle, then you're okay.
Speaker 2: All right, let's let's see. Let's go over to this
Speaker 2: caller from Orlando. Hello, you got to you got a
Speaker 2: question from ol or what are you calling about? I
Speaker 2: do no good question from all good? Good good? Go ahead? Uh,
Speaker 2: going back to that old man.
Speaker 3: In those three solicitors, and didn't those three kids have
Speaker 3: every right to pull out a gun if they had
Speaker 3: one and defend themselves, Like, what would be the scenario
Speaker 3: would what would happen if they did that?
Speaker 10: I mean, this guy pulled a gun out on them. Well,
Speaker 10: I mean you get shot. Yeah, I mean that's a
Speaker 10: very factually specific scenario. So you know, in what we saw,
Speaker 10: at least in that video, the gun was aimed down.
Speaker 10: So theoretically speaking, the kids could also, you know, pull
Speaker 10: out a gun and aim it down in a non
Speaker 10: threatening manner. Now, whether they have the right to utilize
Speaker 10: that gun is going to depend whether they needed it
Speaker 10: for self defense because they reasonably and the key there
Speaker 10: is reasonably believe that they were in danger of great
Speaker 10: bodily harm or death. But at this point, you know,
Speaker 10: based on the video, anything more than just holding a
Speaker 10: gun aimed at the ground probably would not be justified.
Speaker 2: Interesting, Okay, there he goes. Interesting. I mean, I think
Speaker 2: people are confused because it seems wrong what the guy did.
Speaker 2: It seems like aggressive and wrong. It is he was like,
Speaker 2: at least verbally aggressive towards these kids. Yeah, for sure, Selan,
Speaker 2: what else do we have on the list?
Speaker 6: Oh, this was a fun one, but it's it'll be
Speaker 6: obvious very quickly that it was a couple of weeks old.
Speaker 6: We were talking when the fourth of July was rolling around,
Speaker 6: and they said that in Washington, d C. They were
Speaker 6: planning the biggest fireworks display in the history of the world.
Speaker 6: Like that was in the advertising advertisings that ran on
Speaker 6: this very station, and they said, biggest fireworks display in
Speaker 6: the history of the world. If they didn't break the
Speaker 6: Guinness World Record for fireworks, are they under some sort
Speaker 6: of legal scrutiny for false advertising if they don't have
Speaker 6: that many thousands. I forget what the number was that
Speaker 6: they had to beat. These guys are lying, you know,
Speaker 6: I came to see the biggest fireworks display in the
Speaker 6: history of the world. Well, what if they didn't deliver it?
Speaker 6: Would who and who would go after them? Because it
Speaker 6: was the government putting on the display.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean there's probably some some immunity there, but
Speaker 10: you know, typically the Guinness Book of World Records isn't
Speaker 10: every world record, you know, necessarily and so and if
Speaker 10: you have a reasonable belief to say that you're you're
Speaker 10: putting on the largest display of fireworks that's ever been done,
Speaker 10: then maybe you can justify that statement. I mean, we've
Speaker 10: seen some pretty ridiculous false advertising lawsuits at this point,
Speaker 10: so it wouldn't put it past me for somebody to
Speaker 10: try to bring something like that.
Speaker 6: Like when PEPSI didn't give that kid a fighter Jet
Speaker 6: which actually won that one though they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a I think there was like a
Speaker 2: whole documentary it was. They went above and beyond on
Speaker 2: that story. Okay, we got to take a quick break.
Speaker 2: When we come back, I'll pay off that sugar Baby story,
Speaker 2: believe it or not, since I mentioned it, I'll pay
Speaker 2: it off here. Before the end the week, we'll do
Speaker 2: the final dispatches. We'll do the stories that didn't make
Speaker 2: the cut until they learn to wrap everything up for
Speaker 2: a Friday and the week that's coming up next on
Speaker 2: the News Junkie. Secret Shows as always released five pm
Speaker 2: on Friday. We got to get Moses in for Secret

Speaker 2: make that happen. You're invited, You're invited next week. You're

Speaker 2: Look at a mia. Yeah indeed, Nick from Cape Canaveral,
Speaker 2: you're with us? Hey, Nick, Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 19: I wanted to talk about the dui thing. Okay, about
Speaker 19: ten years ago. I got about ten years ago, I
Speaker 19: got a dui.
Speaker 2: Changing a tire.
Speaker 19: I had to tire off, but the keys were in
Speaker 19: the ignition, so that's how they got to.
Speaker 1: Charge me with the dui.
Speaker 2: Oh really, how drunk were you?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 19: Actually I wasn't driving the car. The wife got a
Speaker 19: flat tire three blocks from the house.
Speaker 3: And I went to go change it.
Speaker 2: So I'd been drinking all night. Yeah what were you drinking?
Speaker 13: What? What was it?
Speaker 19: I was just drinking beer.
Speaker 2: But we were drinking all day. So how many are you? Looking?
Speaker 2: Pretty high? How many think that you put down.
Speaker 1: At that time?
Speaker 19: Probably around say more than twelve back?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, there you go? All right. Well,
Speaker 2: every once in a while they get you. Gotta be careful, man,
Speaker 2: that's how it works.
Speaker 19: But yeah, the whole thing was is because the keys
Speaker 19: were in the Inditi.
Speaker 2: There was no tire on the car. I was not
Speaker 2: able to drive. But have you had any today?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: I don't drink anymore? Oh okay, that happened and he's like,
Speaker 2: you have a yeah the d U?
Speaker 19: I yeah, well I got a do you? It was
Speaker 19: just time to change in my life. I've been five years.
Speaker 2: Sober, so yeah you man here. Congratulations Nick, thank you
Speaker 2: for the call. Appreciate that Josh can barely make it
Speaker 2: five days.
Speaker 10: So true.
Speaker 2: Let me pay this off here. This is in the villages.
Speaker 2: A sugar baby arrangement went sour when a young woman
Speaker 2: who apparently wanted nothing to do with the string attached
Speaker 2: of fled the home of a Florida man who gave
Speaker 2: chase and his truck, rammed into her vehicle and pulled
Speaker 2: the gun on her truck. Was not me, it was
Speaker 2: this gentleman. Look at this guy. That's that's the man
Speaker 2: that it was charged with. This David O'Brien, sixty seven
Speaker 2: years old, met the woman this month on Tinder. During
Speaker 2: a subsequent exchange of messages, O'Brien explained he was looking
Speaker 2: for a sugar baby and would pay one thousand dollars
Speaker 2: for each visit dinner and I loved to shop for you,
Speaker 2: he said. O'Brien and the sugar Baby agreed to meet
Speaker 2: for a meal on Tuesday evening the woman, who was
Speaker 2: driven to the date by three of her friends. O'Brien,
Speaker 2: according to the rest report, gave the woman two hundred
Speaker 2: dollars and took her to a lingerie store where she
Speaker 2: purchased three three items. After O'Brien provided the woman with
Speaker 2: another six hundred dollars at the restaurant, the pair went
Speaker 2: back to his residence at the village's retirement community.
Speaker 10: There you go.
Speaker 2: The woman told cops. She began to feel uncomfortable in
Speaker 2: his home and contacted her friends to come pick her
Speaker 2: up with his sugar baby. Fixing her depart, O'Brien told
Speaker 2: her that she quote should give the money back because
Speaker 2: that was not the agreement. Declining the refund request, she
Speaker 2: left the property and got into the car with her friends.
Speaker 2: He jumped in his four f one fifty, began to
Speaker 2: chase the four victims in this case, and rammed into
Speaker 2: them with his with his truck. I guess. While the
Speaker 2: woman and two of her friends fled, a male occupant
Speaker 2: of the car was confronted by O'Brien, who pointed his
Speaker 2: twenty two semi automatic ruger at him and told him
Speaker 2: to get on the ground or he would kill him. Okay,
Speaker 2: well you are that you are going nowhere fast, my friend. Now,
Speaker 2: the woman and her three friends called the cops. I
Speaker 2: guess that they were in fear for their lives. And
Speaker 2: this guy was arrested on five felony charges.
Speaker 6: I really enjoy the ads that smoking gun does for
Speaker 6: their other stories. Yeah, look at the bottom of this
Speaker 6: the fume lover sentenced as coke conspiracy.
Speaker 2: Well, I want to know about ass coke conspiracy. I
Speaker 2: think we need to do the ass coke conspiracy or
Speaker 2: fire down below what we'll never know? What's what's happening
Speaker 2: with these stories? Who needs clothes when your car is
Speaker 2: filled with guns and drugs? True, true, True, Moses, it's

Speaker 2: you always have this instinct feel bad about calling an attorney.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't. You should ditch that. The instinct should be

Speaker 2: smartest idea. Do that by utilizing the skills of somebody
Speaker 2: who goes up against the insurance companies all the time. Right,

Speaker 2: She grabbed her name from many places, but one thing
Speaker 2: was the Madonna horror complex. I had not heard of
Speaker 2: this before. But men with a Madonna horror complex are
Speaker 2: only sexually attracted to slutty women or whores, but cannot
Speaker 2: love such a woman. They have a regular partner a Madonna,
Speaker 2: but they're not sexually attracted to them. That was the
Speaker 2: genesis sexually attractive. I don't know why she did that.
