Speaker 2: fat kid on a scooter. Everybody, that's right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: this little kid.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you were ever like this at
Speaker 1: any point in your life. No, I'm not.

Speaker 2: It's not a you sound like a pretentious white guy
Speaker 2: that doesn't see color.
Speaker 1: Not about that, all right.
Speaker 2: This little kid found that somebody was talking to his grandma,
Speaker 2: and the person was like a salesperson talking to his grandma.
Speaker 2: And the little kid rolled up on his scooter, big
Speaker 2: mad to defend grandma from who he thought was a
Speaker 2: bad guy salesman.
Speaker 1: And I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2: He's so little, this kid riding up on his scooter,
Speaker 2: no shirt on a little fat belly hanging out.
Speaker 1: Let's watch what happened? He can he say that again?
Speaker 1: I said, you can sell that to neighbor, sell you.
Speaker 2: A fortunately good yeah, right, hot little guy, he said,
Speaker 2: I says, I says, I says. At first, he's a
Speaker 2: little he's like a tiny little fog horn leghorn coming
Speaker 2: in hot, right, you know, I said, I said. And
Speaker 2: he must have already yelled something at this salesman guy
Speaker 2: who's filming this, because the the salesman guy goes, look,
Speaker 2: here's the deal.
Speaker 1: Do it. Do it again. I want you to do
Speaker 1: it again because I'm filming now.
Speaker 2: And the fat kid comes in and throws his scooter down,
Speaker 2: and he said, you can try to sell that to me,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna sell you a punch in the stomach,
Speaker 2: punching the gut, a punch of the gut.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well I don't even really.
Speaker 2: Understand the It's kind of like you're gonna sell me
Speaker 2: a punch in the gut. Okay, all right, Well he's
Speaker 2: got more. He's upset here, right, Can.
Speaker 1: He say that again? I said, you can sell that
Speaker 1: to neighbor, out, sell you a really why.
Speaker 2: Your granny, we're doing her house for pest control.
Speaker 1: He comes right up in the guy's face.
Speaker 2: Man, this little kid, he's like big protective over grandma.
Speaker 2: He's like, this little kid's like they're trying to take
Speaker 2: advantage of her. Maybe I feel like dad or mom
Speaker 2: might just say down at some point in time it said, look,
Speaker 2: these salespeople are predatory. You come around these neighborhoods, they
Speaker 2: take advantage of old people. You don't let them do
Speaker 2: that to your grandma. Right, you see one of these
Speaker 2: salespeople out there, you offer them, You'll sell them a
Speaker 2: punch in the in the gut, all right, that's what
Speaker 2: that's what you'll sell them. He's gotten me right up
Speaker 2: in his groat ass man's face.
Speaker 3: This kid sounds like his dad uses very old phrases,
Speaker 3: like very dated, dated phrases.
Speaker 1: I'll sell you a punch in the gut.
Speaker 2: Like hair lip the governor, like uh, you know stuff
Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, stuff that dads say. Were you just
Speaker 2: kind of nod along and you're like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's like the one my mom used to say, Well,
Speaker 2: I told you about started a whole conversation on the
Speaker 2: show because I'd be like my mom would always be like, oh,
Speaker 2: that thing's had the radish, and I go, what all
Speaker 2: Right've like had the radish meant like it's done for
Speaker 2: you gotta throw.
Speaker 1: It away, you can gotta get rid of it.
Speaker 2: This little kid's dad says some stuff like that, because
Speaker 2: I'll sell you a punch in the gut.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're doing control.
Speaker 2: This little Bobby Hill looking kid like he looks at
Speaker 2: the mini Bobby Hill from King of the Hill like, actually,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be I'm gonna take care of a spider
Speaker 2: wise for your brain?
Speaker 1: Is that not that he just runs away at the end,
Speaker 1: he just runs away. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Have you ever had a moment where you protective over
Speaker 2: anybody when you were a little kid like that or No?
Speaker 3: I don't think I ever felt the need to like
Speaker 3: exert that or assert that on somebody. I was protective,
Speaker 3: but I never felt like I had to bow up
Speaker 3: to a salesperson or anything like that.
Speaker 1: I would have been.
Speaker 2: I think at that age, what's that kid, three or
Speaker 2: four or so? We probably five four or five, five
Speaker 2: five years old, let's say five years old. I don't
Speaker 2: think I would have the chutzpah to use an old
Speaker 2: person phrase.
Speaker 1: I don't think I would have the balls to go
Speaker 1: up to.
Speaker 2: Punch you in the gut, grown ass, grown ass man,
Speaker 2: to be like I'm gonna you a punch in the gut.
Speaker 3: And I'm almost certain if I had spoken like that
Speaker 3: to somebody, I would have been in trouble.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably.
Speaker 2: Yeah, All right, well those are trickling in these rate
Speaker 2: my blank. Now I want to see your home screen
Speaker 2: on your phone. We're gonna see what we can read
Speaker 2: through with that. We've got a lot of stuff to
Speaker 2: dive into before we get into the America two hundred
Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary stuff which I don't even know is
Speaker 2: gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: This is a lot, folks. This is our two hundred
Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary. It's kind of a big deal, and
Speaker 2: it looks like it might be canceled.
Speaker 3: So when I last was here on Thursday, we had
Speaker 3: lost Morris Day in the time, Yeah, and we had
Speaker 3: lost young mc. He he's not gonna come sing that
Speaker 3: one song, but he's busting a move out of there, right,
Speaker 3: And I think maybe there was one or two others
Speaker 3: that were sort of on the fence, and now they're
Speaker 3: just dropping like flies.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Martina McBride hit the second tower shortly after that,
Speaker 2: and then just one after another after another, and then
Speaker 2: all we had was CNC Music Factory.
Speaker 1: That was it.
Speaker 2: CNC Music Factory, which I learned on Friday was formerly
Speaker 2: called like two Puerto Ricans, A black and a and
Speaker 2: a Spanish guy or something like that. I'm not making
Speaker 2: this up. That was the name of the group before
Speaker 2: they like Sean Dat explaining why they moved out.
Speaker 1: Of the acreage.
Speaker 2: My dad didn't care about that though. But but I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't let you be smirches this legacy. Okay, Russell
Speaker 2: Wilson doesn't have that much of a legacy.
Speaker 1: On this earth globally speaking.
Speaker 2: But so the two undred vitea, the anniversary that they have,
Speaker 2: all they're they're fleeing. You know, all we have is
Speaker 2: CNC Music Factory, and that ain't gonna cut it all right.
Speaker 3: When and last I heard they were still a maybe
Speaker 3: they had not decided yet.
Speaker 2: We got It's like we sent out an evite and
Speaker 2: all we got was one maybe from CNC Music Factory.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, Do I have to remind you I
Speaker 2: hated If I do, I hate it. If I have
Speaker 2: to remind you before the fourth of July, this is
Speaker 2: the United States of America. We are the greatest country
Speaker 2: on the Planet, the Red, White, and Blue, the Stars
Speaker 2: and stripes. Baby, we do it the right way. Okay,
Speaker 2: we make mistakes. Sure, we're not perfect, I understand that,
Speaker 2: but we're pretty damn good, and we're pretty hard on
Speaker 2: ourselves to try to be even better all the time. Okay,
Speaker 2: we deserve the best performers you could ever ask for.
Speaker 3: Ryan on YouTube says, the music factory backed out C
Speaker 3: and C will just be performing.
Speaker 2: Our Willie says, Milli Vanilly dropped out too. The funny
Speaker 2: thing was, Alejandro said, pointed out on the show, He's like,
Speaker 2: Milli Vanilli is not going to be playing, and they
Speaker 2: didn't even sing the songs.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't even they were going there to like little
Speaker 1: one of them is dead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, the whole thing is just it's unbelievable. We
Speaker 2: deserve better than this for the United States of America's
Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth birthday. So we'll get into the
Speaker 2: drama behind that going on in just a bit here
Speaker 2: on the show. Right now, let's do what we do.
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the box office over the weekend.
Speaker 2: How did everything do? How did we do at the
Speaker 2: box office?
Speaker 1: Friends?
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what happened the little guy, well
Speaker 2: kind of you know, the young upstart one again. The
Speaker 2: number one movie in the United States of America, that
Speaker 2: great country I was just telling you about. Is a
Speaker 2: little movie from A twenty four, the biggest hit in
Speaker 2: the history of A twenty four called back Rooms with
Speaker 2: eighty one million dollars this weekend at the box office.
Speaker 2: Eighty one million dollars. This is a movie made by
Speaker 2: a young guy who did his first movie on YouTube.
Speaker 2: He's twenty something years old. Twenty he's twenty. He's twenty
Speaker 2: years old. He's now seven years younger than the record
Speaker 2: holder to have a number one box office movie.
Speaker 1: He looks like a kid, he does.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's got like that curly short hair, babyface.
Speaker 1: Him YouTube movie.
Speaker 2: They said, let's take this back Room, which was the
Speaker 2: YouTube video that he made. Let's take Backroom and make
Speaker 2: it into a movie called back Rooms. And he made
Speaker 2: eighty one point four million dollars.
Speaker 1: It's a crazy story.
Speaker 2: I'll give you more the background on him and how
Speaker 2: this all came about in a little bit here on
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 3: Big Kid that has the number one movie in the
Speaker 3: box office was born after I graduated high school.
Speaker 1: Check this out.
Speaker 2: What about Obsession the number two movie at the box office.
Speaker 2: How old is the guy behind that one? See Obsession
Speaker 2: pretty young too? Yeah, Obsession and back Rooms brought out
Speaker 2: a lot of guys. Sixty two percent. Mail was the
Speaker 2: audience Big gen Z. Gen Z's showing you they don't
Speaker 2: care about the Star War, all right, They're not interested
Speaker 2: in the Star War. John's John Schwartz says on YouTube,
Speaker 2: what's the plot? The plot is literally just about you're
Speaker 2: they're in some some office and they find that there's
Speaker 2: a mystery door and then it just keeps leading into
Speaker 2: more and more and more and more rooms, back rooms,
Speaker 2: and that's it.
Speaker 1: That's Curry Baker.
Speaker 3: Curry Baker is the guy that did Obsession twenty six
Speaker 3: years old, twenty six the number two movie in the country,
Speaker 3: twenty six million dollars for the twenty six year old
Speaker 3: guy behind it also came from YouTube, much like Mark
Speaker 3: a Plier before then with that, you know, the other movie,
Speaker 3: The Whole Iron Lung.
Speaker 1: Was market Plier's movie.
Speaker 2: By the way, the whole genre of horror is being
Speaker 2: taken over by young people and I love it. It's
Speaker 2: being taken over by low budget movies that are making
Speaker 2: big money because kids don't care about the Star War,
Speaker 2: the eighty fifth Star War. Okay, it's over all right,
Speaker 2: he says, he cares about the Star Wars.
Speaker 1: You're the last one, Eddie.
Speaker 3: Okay, why aren't you calling it a star War and
Speaker 3: not Star Wars? Are you going arrested development on us?
Speaker 2: It's a star War, okay, go see a Star War,
Speaker 2: Mandalorian and grogu Who. The Star War update is number
Speaker 2: three at the box office with twenty five million dollars.
Speaker 2: That's down seventy percent first weekend to second weekend. The
Speaker 2: Star War is down seventy percent. We're just being obtuse now,
Speaker 2: you're just doing it to be obnoxious. It was front
Speaker 2: loaded with all the final lines of Star War fans.
Speaker 2: They all went out there together to see it the
Speaker 2: first weekend, and then it fell all the way to
Speaker 2: third place, just barely above Michael and then the breadwinner
Speaker 2: in fifth place. That's that, I mean, it just shows
Speaker 2: you what people want. Young people are over it. They're
Speaker 2: done with your big, fat, bloated budget movies. They're done
Speaker 2: with the traditional Hollywood nonsense. It's time that they take
Speaker 2: the baton, and they're doing it at the box office,
Speaker 2: and I could speak for obsession. The second movie in
Speaker 2: the country. It is a pretty damn good movie.
Speaker 1: All right. It's a good ride, a good time, and
Speaker 1: I liked it.
Speaker 2: But tell us what you thought if you went to
Speaker 2: see it, and when you think of these young folks
Speaker 2: sort of taking over in the Hollywood grind. Also a
Speaker 2: couple of emails to get it started real quick. Here
Speaker 2: is Amy who says to Tips at the Newsjunkie dot Com,
Speaker 2: I have never felt more connected to anyone. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: I've never felt more connected anyone than with Sean Hi.
Speaker 2: Sean Hey, Seelane was talking about graduation ceremonies.
Speaker 1: I agree with every word. Sean said, that's it.
Speaker 2: His head's nodding out there, all right, Seelan, And I'm
Speaker 2: talking about these things people are yep.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: What did you say about graduation ceremonies. Uh, it's called balance,
Speaker 2: parent learn it. They need to be self motivated, not
Speaker 2: rewarded or motivated. Oh, I said, there's too many. This
Speaker 2: is just true. There's too many graduations. I've seen on
Speaker 2: social media over the last couple of days. In graduation,
Speaker 2: I've seen kids graduating from third grade to fourth grade.
Speaker 2: I also bet graduation. It's not right, it's not I
Speaker 2: also brought up a point about like little kids' birthday parties,
Speaker 2: Like there's somebody I know that had a themed birthday
Speaker 2: party for their two year old kid, Like it's over
Speaker 2: the top, it's lost.
Speaker 3: I thought it was a brilliant time. Everybody loved it,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 2: I was no, not you, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: This guy goes to a different school. This is yeah,
Speaker 2: this is a totally totally different That's how they learned
Speaker 2: to regulate their emotions and actions, says Amy.
Speaker 1: Anyway, loving the show.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the work you're doing to create great
Speaker 2: slash good content. Always looking for that great slash good content.
Speaker 2: Amy in Texas, Thank you, Amy. Graduating from third to
Speaker 2: fourth grade? It's that's fake, are Thereilly Madison Way School's
Speaker 2: doing that? Yeah, yeah, they're loading parents are doing that.
Speaker 2: More so, wait, what are the ones that we have now?
Speaker 3: If you graduate from kindergarten, which I thought I think
Speaker 3: that one is st yeah.
Speaker 2: Pre k fifth grade. If you graduate out of elementary school,
Speaker 2: that's the first thing I'll give you, right, congratulations you
Speaker 2: made out of elementary school.
Speaker 3: You're legally required to do that. I don't remember if
Speaker 3: we had a middle school graduation ceremony. I'm assuming we did,
Speaker 3: because you're switching schools, like you graduate from that school,
Speaker 3: but I don't remember. I know, of course, I remember
Speaker 3: high school, but kindergarten. Yeah, I just want to dress
Speaker 3: the kid up in a cute cap and gown. That
Speaker 3: is too much, she agrees. She thinks it's too much.
Speaker 2: We'll see what you think about this, and we'll get
Speaker 2: into the details on what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: Is America's two hundred and fiftieth celebration is kind of
Speaker 2: crumbling over here. I want to eventually, at some point
Speaker 2: today get to this massive Lego drama that exploded online.
Speaker 2: If you haven't heard this story, it's gonna be a movie, man,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's gonna I know I'm telling you
Speaker 2: about stolen legos, but it's gonna be a movie.
Speaker 1: Like back Room are any of these other ones.
Speaker 3: I didn't watch the last Lego movie, so we'll see
Speaker 3: if this one piques my interest.
Speaker 2: This one will captivate you, I promise. Also when we
Speaker 2: come back. There was a big boom over the weekend,
Speaker 2: A mystery boom heard in Boston, Massachusetts, what was going on.
Speaker 2: I'll play the audio for you and explain what happened,
Speaker 2: because that is coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: I added the app links as people start to download
Speaker 2: the app and then check it out and stuff. I
Speaker 2: added the app links over at the Neewsjunkie dot com
Speaker 2: so you could see it for iPhone or Android devices.
Speaker 2: Jump on board with that. I got an update headed
Speaker 2: for iPhone users. It's already out on Android. That will
Speaker 2: probably be out today or tomorrow for I Phone and Android,
Speaker 2: and then I'm pretty sure we're in a stable spot
Speaker 2: with the app. We can kind of just leave it there.
Speaker 2: It's fantastic, it's it's awesome. I think it's a game changer,
Speaker 2: and I encourage you to go get it. Okay, before
Speaker 2: we talk about America's two hundred and fiftieth concert, that's
Speaker 2: kind of falling apart here and the statements about this
Speaker 2: and you know the concert question mark, Ye, concert question mark.
Speaker 2: I mean, like we literally don't know it's falling apart
Speaker 2: right now. In my argument that stands is America is
Speaker 2: a great, great country. I'm proud to be an American
Speaker 2: as always, and I think that a two hundred and
Speaker 2: fiftieth celebration is important, so we should celebrate it. But
Speaker 2: this seems like it's not going well, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, Like we can't ruin our two hundred and
Speaker 2: fiftieth birthday as the United States of America.
Speaker 1: That seems like a bad thing.
Speaker 3: I just don't get, like how they can't find people
Speaker 3: that would say yes to this. There's got to be
Speaker 3: people that would say yes to this.
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's because there's some people
Speaker 2: who are scared. It's kind of like how you speak
Speaker 2: if you if you were going to say that you
Speaker 2: played at SeaWorld, and then all these like little fringe
Speaker 2: groups on the internet would bully your band or your
Speaker 2: your you know, rap group or whatever. And then people
Speaker 2: who are in these groups will be like, who, well,
Speaker 2: we didn't know about this whole blackfish thing.
Speaker 1: We're no longer performing at sea World.
Speaker 2: And then finally bands got tired of that nonsense and
Speaker 2: told this loud, squeaky, annoying part of their audience to
Speaker 2: piss off, and that they.
Speaker 1: Did now have videos like the Ying Yang Twins torking
Speaker 1: up a SeaWorld and it was real, Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 2: Now it's a party over there, people are like, all right,
Speaker 2: we're over all this stupid stuff where these loud, squeaky
Speaker 2: losers complain about everything and bully everybody. No, I mean
Speaker 2: that happens because this is like it's been turned into
Speaker 2: a political thing.
Speaker 1: Like it or not, It's just been turned into a
Speaker 1: political thing when I don't think it should be.
Speaker 2: I think it'd just be a celebration of America two
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty years in fireworks, red white, and blue,
Speaker 2: you know, little kids waving a little flags, veterans, all
Speaker 2: that stuff. I think that that would be a perfectly
Speaker 2: good thing for all of us to celebrate together.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to tell you at at the top
Speaker 1: of the hour.
Speaker 2: At the top of the hour today, I'll give you
Speaker 2: an update on the latest time my contract situation. I
Speaker 2: got less than thirty days on my contract here at iHeartRadio,
Speaker 2: and information has come through and the last I will
Speaker 2: say week or so. That has led me to believe
Speaker 2: that there are some other problems on the horizon. And
Speaker 2: we'll talk about this because I think we need to
Speaker 2: talk about it. We'll talk about it at the top
Speaker 2: of the hour. All right, we'll talk about it at
Speaker 2: the top of the hour, that's thirty minutes from right now.
Speaker 2: I think this, if what I'm hearing is true, all right,
Speaker 2: and I hear a lot of things. I've been in
Speaker 2: this industry for a while, a lot of people listen
Speaker 2: to this show in the industry, A lot of them,
Speaker 2: a lot of program directors listening right now in this moment.
Speaker 2: If what I hear is true, I honestly believe it
Speaker 2: will change radio forever, all right. Like I don't think
Speaker 2: that's too fine of a point to put on it.
Speaker 2: But we'll discuss that. We'll we'll talk about what's happening
Speaker 2: with the contract about thirty minutes here on the show.
Speaker 2: Right now, let's talk about the America two fifty concert.
Speaker 2: I think the concert part might be over. I think
Speaker 2: that one might be over because I see this. This
Speaker 2: was the first post we should talk about. The President said,
Speaker 2: I understand artists are getting quote the yips having to
Speaker 2: do with their performance on Wednesday. That's what the concert
Speaker 2: is Wednesday. It can't be right. He did say wednesday,
Speaker 2: though he said wednesday. Does he mean like, is it
Speaker 2: this coming Wednesday? I thought it would be fourth of July?
Speaker 1: No? Maybe, well is it not? No?
Speaker 3: America is back rally on Wednesday, he says, towards the
Speaker 3: end of that, yeah, yeah, yeah, So I think I
Speaker 3: think it's not like aligned with the fourth of July obviously,
Speaker 3: but Trump says, I understand artists are getting the yips,
Speaker 3: which I've believe leave me alone on this one. I
Speaker 3: believe that the yips is a thing you get in
Speaker 3: baseball where all of a sudden, your pitching kind of
Speaker 3: just goes a little wonky, and they call it the
Speaker 3: yips when a pitcher gets this. And I've heard about
Speaker 3: it in golf. A lot of people talk about the yips,
Speaker 3: golfers getting the yips.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe it's a golf thing and not a baseball thing.
Speaker 2: I understand artists are getting the yips having to do
Speaker 2: with their performance on Wednesday. So I'm thinking about bringing
Speaker 2: the number one attraction anywhere in the world. The man
Speaker 2: who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime,
Speaker 2: and he does so without a guitar, the man who
Speaker 2: loves our country more than anyone else, and the man
Speaker 2: who some say is the greatest president in history. The goat,
Speaker 2: he says in all caps, Donald J. Trump, he says,
Speaker 2: of himself, to take the place of these highly paid
Speaker 2: third rate artists and give a major speech rallying the
Speaker 2: country forward, like I have done ever since becoming president.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna stop there.
Speaker 2: It's a weird move to choose people and invite them
Speaker 2: to perform at an event, and then when they get
Speaker 2: the yips or whatever, when they bow out, You're like,
Speaker 2: these are third rate losers. Well, you selected them. What
Speaker 2: gives I don't understand. You can't say that they're third
Speaker 2: rate losers. These are the people that you picked for
Speaker 2: the event. That doesn't make sense. I'm the so called
Speaker 2: artists and quotes that get paid far too much money.
Speaker 2: I never really like young Mick who aren't happy? He says, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're not happy. Man, all right, you're not happy. Man,
Speaker 2: You're not You're not he says, And Sir Trump says,
Speaker 2: he continues here, two years ago the United States was dead.
Speaker 2: Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.
Speaker 2: I don't want so called artists that get paid far
Speaker 2: too much money who aren't happy.
Speaker 1: I want only people.
Speaker 2: I want to want to be surroirded about happy people,
Speaker 2: smart people, successful people, and people that know how to
Speaker 2: min win. So by copy of this truth, I am
Speaker 2: ordering my representatives to look at feasibly doing an America
Speaker 2: his Back rally on Wednesday in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Same time, the same location.
Speaker 2: Only great Patriots invited, so Sea Lane's not allowed to go.
Speaker 1: Oh, it will.
Speaker 2: Be a wild and beautiful celebration of America. But then
Speaker 2: I believe there was another post. Let me see truth.
Speaker 2: I thought there was another post where he was like,
Speaker 2: cancel it.
Speaker 1: We're done. We're canceling the whole thing.
Speaker 2: So that's why I'm unclear as to what's really gonna
Speaker 2: happen here. I mean, I really think maybe maybe this
Speaker 2: will just be whatever the hell is happening on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: and then everybody can have a really big deal for
Speaker 2: the fourth of July.
Speaker 3: He said, like a cancel it thing really quick, before
Speaker 3: pivoting to talking about the Kennedy Center. Okay, I have
Speaker 3: one quote that says cancel it, just like I canceled
Speaker 3: my involvement with the failing and unsafe to be in
Speaker 3: Kennedy Center.
Speaker 1: Where did he post.
Speaker 2: That, don't I don't see that one. I'll have to
Speaker 2: find it. Yeah, that's all. But he did say cancer.
Speaker 2: So now I don't know if we're doing it or not.
Speaker 2: And I still tell you this, this is sad. It's
Speaker 2: America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. We need to get
Speaker 2: it together. We need to get everybody to come together
Speaker 2: and say that. You know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: we're all Americans. We were lucky enough many of us
Speaker 2: to spawn here, and our spawn point is a good one.
Speaker 1: And let's let's.
Speaker 2: Look out for the red, white, and Blue for the
Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America. Now, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2: here is Metallica. Yeah, you know, I'm really surprised, Like
Speaker 2: what nobody's called Lee Greenwood yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Lee, he's tired.
Speaker 2: He's old, and he's tired and he just can't do
Speaker 2: it anymore. But America's two fifty seems to be in shambles.
Speaker 2: It's not going well. I don't know why, but it
Speaker 2: just seems like that's the case right now. Let us
Speaker 2: know what you think and if you plan to celebrate
Speaker 2: in some way. I didn't know it was this Wednesday,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, if I were in any way involved with
Speaker 3: this event and all my people are dropping out a
Speaker 3: week before it, I would not be It would be
Speaker 3: a very stressful situation For me, I would think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would think so too. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I was thinking what could it be when
Speaker 2: they signed the declaration of independence? But that wasn't until
Speaker 2: August second, So I mean, why June? Why June third?
Speaker 2: What what's the June third tie in? Then I'm missing
Speaker 2: there is there something else? Was that maybe when it
Speaker 2: was drafted or something. There must be some some day
Speaker 2: that this ties into in June fourth, eleventh of June
Speaker 2: to the fourth of July was when the independence was drafted.
Speaker 2: Fourth of July seventeen seventy six, obviously two hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty years ago. But yeah, I mean, this seems like
Speaker 2: something we got to get into order here. We got
Speaker 2: to let the non political people take the reins and
Speaker 2: get moving here. I think we need to fix this
Speaker 2: damn thing. Speaking to fix this damn thing, I will
Speaker 2: tell you that right now. Because it is June first,
Speaker 2: it's a free, clean scoreboard for gifters over in the
Speaker 2: neewschunky dot com.
Speaker 1: I saw that. I saw that during the break and
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, what happened to our score?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a new month, so it says no
Speaker 2: gifts yet this month. Nobody has gifted subs just yet,
Speaker 2: so you can get your name on that leaderboard as
Speaker 2: we kick off the month of June. I hope you
Speaker 2: do over there on the neewschunky dot com. Speaking of that,
Speaker 2: Oh god, dude, we have a lot of people respond
Speaker 2: so far to the show us.
Speaker 1: Your your home screen.
Speaker 2: Oh so we're gonna have to do some rounds of
Speaker 2: that here. Oh boy, yeah, there's there's a lot of
Speaker 2: all right, I got a seemingly endless scroll of these,
Speaker 2: but well we will start sorting through these with's the.
Speaker 1: Very rout of them in neck.
Speaker 3: Very easy one to participate in because anybody who has
Speaker 3: the app clearly has a home screen, so it's right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So if you have ween, we better see it on
Speaker 2: your home screen too. That'll be something that we read
Speaker 2: into here. I think, oh yeah, you're.
Speaker 3: Going to get shamed if you show us your home
Speaker 3: screen in the news Junkie app is not on it.
Speaker 1: Let us know.
Speaker 2: We'll get to the first round of those and just
Speaker 2: a bit here. There was a sonic boom in the
Speaker 2: Boston area this weekend. Here was the rapport when it
Speaker 2: first came through. This event is a widely felt sonic
Speaker 2: boom from a suspected bowlide.
Speaker 1: I never heard of a bowl oide, know.
Speaker 2: I think it's like a little asteroid or something from
Speaker 2: a suspected bowlide. There was a widely felt sonic boom
Speaker 2: scaring everybody in Boston this weekend. A bowlide is an
Speaker 2: exceptionally I don't even know if we're saying that, right,
Speaker 2: is a bowlide a bolide, exceptionally bright medior that often
Speaker 2: explodes in the atmosphere. Okay, so it's a meteor and
Speaker 2: it causes sonic boom. Nobody knew what was happening. They
Speaker 2: thought there was some freaky going on. People are saying
Speaker 2: the ground was shaken in Boston. Unlike earthquake, which occur
Speaker 2: at a discrete location in the earth, sonic boom events
Speaker 2: occur along a linear path in the atmosphere. Therefore, the
Speaker 2: location provided is an approximation. While recorded on seismic sensors,
Speaker 2: traditional earthquake magnitudes are not appropriate for measuring atmospheric events.
Speaker 2: So they don't they don't tell you how how much
Speaker 2: of a shocker there was from the sonic boom in
Speaker 2: Boston this weekend. But people caught this on their cameras.
Speaker 2: This is inside somebody's house when their dog got scared
Speaker 2: because their blink camera recorded the moment this, this boom
Speaker 2: that rocked Boston took place. All right, that's actually pretty significant.
Speaker 2: This is just the security camera and you hear a
Speaker 2: rumble and then you hear a big boom, rumble.
Speaker 1: Shake, dog freaks out.
Speaker 2: That happened all over the city of Boston this weekend.
Speaker 2: And as I've told you many many times on this show,
Speaker 2: it's from a bowlid. I'm always telling you about the
Speaker 2: bow lides. Uh, gotta be careful. How is it that
Speaker 2: we've gone our whole lives and not heard this word. Oh,
Speaker 2: we're not smart, That's what it is. We are dummies.
Speaker 2: Once more, I did not know what a bowlide was,
Speaker 2: but it happened. A meteor exploded off the coast of Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: Footage captured from this home featured a dog being startled
Speaker 2: to buy the noise. Everybody is okay as far as
Speaker 2: I can tell. But if you were in the Boston area,
Speaker 2: tell us about your experience.
Speaker 1: If you had heard that at your house, what would
Speaker 1: you think it is? What would you.
Speaker 2: Think it was an earthquake? That's what I would think
Speaker 2: I would think that it was an earthquake if I like,
Speaker 2: rumbles and shakes are always earthquake to me, I might
Speaker 2: be wrong, but do earthquakes make noise? Just the rumble?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 1: I feel like, are just experience an earthquake. You don't
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. You never heard like the
Speaker 1: hum of an earthquake. I've never been in an earthquake.
Speaker 3: And then like, I feel like any of the footage
Speaker 3: I see is just stuff shaking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's well, it's shaking, but it's like shaking the
Speaker 2: foundation of your house. It's like it sounds like a didgeridoo. Honestly,
Speaker 2: an earthquake sounds like a Digiti dude one hundred Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: experts will agree. I'm sure our quick break when we
Speaker 2: come back, we'll get into the first rate, my blanks.
Speaker 1: We'll take a look at your home screens.
Speaker 2: You can watch the show on YouTube and twitch dot
Speaker 2: tv Slash the news Junkie. We got to get in
Speaker 2: one of the weirdest stories of the weekend. We got
Speaker 2: hookers in Hopetown, updates my God, and I'll give you
Speaker 2: the reason at the top of the hour why I
Speaker 2: think radio could be on the verge of changing forever.
Speaker 2: As I have less than thirty days on my contract,
Speaker 2: timing just couldn't be better. That's coming up next on
Speaker 2: the news, Chunkie. All right, we have a little bit
Speaker 2: time here before the top of the hour. At the
Speaker 2: top of the hour, I'll tell you the latest on
Speaker 2: the contract. I've got less than thirty days in my contract.
Speaker 2: I ran into like three people last night and they're like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: did you sign a deal or what? Man, I'm freaking out,
Speaker 2: And I said, uh, I'll talk about it on Monday
Speaker 2: a little bit because a lot of people are asking.
Speaker 2: So I'll talk about that, and I'll talk about the
Speaker 2: thing that I heard. And of all the people in
Speaker 2: this industry, I probably got the most what do they
Speaker 2: call them, doves, ravens, little birdies in the most places.
Speaker 2: I've never heard it, ravens, crows, birds, I've got them
Speaker 2: in the right places. All right, So I will tell
Speaker 2: you something that I heard could be on the way,
Speaker 2: and the something that I heard that could be on
Speaker 2: the way will change radio forever. If this is absolutely
Speaker 2: truly going to happen, and I think it is. I
Speaker 2: think I think it possibly is. So that is one
Speaker 2: of the other things weighing on me as we have
Speaker 2: less than thirty days on a contract here at Iheartradium. Okay,
Speaker 2: I want to mention one thing real quick. This is
Speaker 2: an important thing without the without a shadow of a doubt,
Speaker 2: and I want to say thank you without she Missy,
Speaker 2: thank you for the five gifted subs, the five gifted
Speaker 2: Secret Shows subscriptions. To be clear, you can nab one
Speaker 2: of those, because there's only one of the five left
Speaker 2: at this very moment that I uttered these words. On
Speaker 2: the news junkie dot com or in the news Junkie app,
Speaker 2: you can claim your Secret Show subscription courtesy of Missy
Speaker 2: thank you for gifting those. You also can get on
Speaker 2: the clean scoreboard for June.
Speaker 3: I saw her on the scoreboard during the break and
Speaker 3: I was like, that looks like the loneliest little scoreboard
Speaker 3: is just Missy.
Speaker 1: Just a mile of one.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna tell you folks the same thing I
Speaker 2: told the the folks listening during the break on school mic.
Speaker 2: You know, you can watch when the commercials are going
Speaker 2: on on YouTube and twitch dot tv. And if you're
Speaker 2: a Secret Show subscriber ad free, you can watch the
Speaker 2: completely ad free stream. If you're logged in on the
Speaker 2: news Junkie dot com. It's right there on the top
Speaker 2: when you're logged in. But I said, somebody pointed out
Speaker 2: the gifted subs thing, and I said, look, this is
Speaker 2: the most important thing for the future of this show,
Speaker 2: for the future of the news Junkie one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: It's two things.
Speaker 2: It's people who support the show by subscribing Secret Show subscribers.
Speaker 2: I made it easier than ever to sign up on
Speaker 2: the newsjunky dot com and easier than ever to sign
Speaker 2: up for Secret Shows this weekend. I put a lot
Speaker 2: of hours into making it a simple, steamless process because
Speaker 2: that's the future of the show. Those are the people
Speaker 2: that support us. So become a Secret Show subscriber, become
Speaker 2: a supporter, go premium over on the Newsjunki dot com.
Speaker 2: Those people are the future of this show, no matter what.
Speaker 2: Number two, all right, Number two is the the people
Speaker 2: who gift subs are incredibly important to the future of
Speaker 2: the show. Those gifted subscriptions get more people in the funnel,
Speaker 2: They get to check out Secret shows and all the
Speaker 2: access you get with it. When they get that access
Speaker 2: and started enjoying that, they go, hey, I think I
Speaker 2: might want to subscribe, and on and on eCos and
Speaker 2: that is how you, from within the bounds of corporate radio,
Speaker 2: set yourself up for the grand future and the great beyond. Okay,
Speaker 2: more about the great beyond at the top of the hour.
Speaker 2: As I said, okay, a couple of things I wanted
Speaker 2: to work in.
Speaker 1: One.
Speaker 2: This is a weird one from this weekend. I've never
Speaker 2: seen this happen, and I would be freaked out, but
Speaker 2: it's also unbelievably adorable. I saw this video go megaviral
Speaker 2: of skunks wandering around these people's neighborhood and they started
Speaker 2: filming it, and I was like, I was with, this
Speaker 2: was my house, What do you do here? What do
Speaker 2: you even do? Let's take a peek at this. You
Speaker 2: can watch over on YouTube and twitch. Of course, I'll
Speaker 2: describe it for everybody else. These skunks are making a move.
Speaker 1: Five No, they can't. They can't sit up, they can't go.
Speaker 2: First of all, so adorable, and second of all, they
Speaker 2: were trying to count them four or five. I think
Speaker 2: there's like six or seven of these things. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to I'm trying to look for tails a lot of them,
Speaker 2: Like there's a whole bunch of them all in a line.
Speaker 2: They're all the whole family of skunks is in a line.
Speaker 2: Have you ever had a skunk at your house? Sea Lion,
Speaker 2: I've never seen a skunk at my house. I think
Speaker 2: I've only seen a skunk in the wild one time
Speaker 2: I was at Martha's vineyard. I've ever seen one. Like,
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to do if I was
Speaker 2: coming up to your garages. There's something you should do. Well,
Speaker 2: don't piss it off?
Speaker 1: I spray right?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And now so I guess I know the answer
Speaker 3: to my first question. You've never been sprayed by a
Speaker 3: skunk because you never seen one? You know what.
Speaker 2: To do if you get sprayed by a skunk. I
Speaker 2: think you're supposed to. You got to clean up, obviously,
Speaker 2: get the skunk smell off you. But I don't I
Speaker 2: is it tomatoes or something? Is one thing I've heard.
Speaker 3: Like the old like the remedy that people knew, like
Speaker 3: that you you heard as a kid, was you're supposed
Speaker 3: to take a bath and tomato juice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I would want to stay away from these things,
Speaker 2: but they're so cute, these old guys.
Speaker 1: No, they can't they can't sit up.
Speaker 6: They can't you taking this?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, shut it. You're gonna shut the gruage.
Speaker 1: Shut the garage, Shut the garage. She Oh my god,
Speaker 1: no way. They went it to some person's garage. I
Speaker 1: think it might be their garage. You do, now, you
Speaker 1: got to eight skunks in the garage.
Speaker 2: Somebody says, that's a big myths propagated by big Tomato.
Speaker 1: Maybe it is tomatoes.
Speaker 2: I thought I thought it was a tomato soup thing
Speaker 2: or something. I don't know what you're supposed to do,
Speaker 2: but it was so freaking adorable. I'm gonna put this
Speaker 2: up on see it now. Let me try to get
Speaker 2: a good shot here of the whole little skunk fan.
Speaker 1: Oh god. What to do immediately?
Speaker 3: If you are a petter unluckily targeted, do not panic,
Speaker 3: but follow these rapid decontamination steps. First of all, stay outside.
Speaker 3: Don't walk into your house, or the oily odor will
Speaker 3: permanently transfer to your furniture, rugs and air vents. I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: did you say permanently?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is something that could be a permanent
Speaker 2: problem for you, all right, that's kind of shocking.
Speaker 3: If your eyes are burning, flush them immediately. With large
Speaker 3: amounts of cool, clean water. Mix an oxidation solution according
Speaker 3: to the Humane Society formula hosted on Terminix, combined one
Speaker 3: quart of three percent hydrogen peroxide, a quarter cup of
Speaker 3: baking soda, and one teaspoon of liquid dish soap. Okay,
Speaker 3: wash and rinse. Lather this fresh solution generously over your
Speaker 3: skin and hair. Skip the tomato juice. Banish the urban
Speaker 3: legend tomato juice or sauce only temporarily masks the odor
Speaker 3: rather than breaking down the oil.
Speaker 1: Oh so it is a myth, Yeah, it actually is.
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm gonna put this up on see it
Speaker 2: now so you guys can take a peek at that
Speaker 2: secret shows. Subscribers, by the way, see the endless archive.
Speaker 2: Every single post. There's no window for you where you
Speaker 2: can to see it now in trees for everybody else,
Speaker 2: you get like twenty four hours or whatever, forty eight
Speaker 2: hours or something before the window shuts and then you
Speaker 2: can't see those anymore. But yeah, it's crazy. Go look
Speaker 2: at that video. Tell us if you've ever encountered these
Speaker 2: skunks like this, and what you do.
Speaker 1: If that's the case.
Speaker 2: That's not even the weird story I wanted to get
Speaker 2: to there's a story that's absolutely bizarre that we have
Speaker 2: to touch on here at some point. Hookers in Hopetown,
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan to sixty minutes. What the hell, There's a
Speaker 2: lot coming up, but first, let's talk about Amy Kay's
Speaker 2: pulling triple duty this morning. They took her right off
Speaker 2: of returning from vacation. Uh huh and work more. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're making her pull a double today, so she'll maybe
Speaker 2: join us at another time. But when we come back,
Speaker 2: we'll talk about I've got thirty days left in the contract,
Speaker 2: so I have an update for you, and also the
Speaker 2: thing that I'm hearing through the grapevine that could change
Speaker 2: radio forever. I'll explain, We'll see what you think about it.
Speaker 2: We'll all kind of digest it together, because that is
Speaker 2: coming up next on the news junk key. All right,
Speaker 2: here we are feeling I'm staring down the barrel of
Speaker 2: a gun.
Speaker 1: For God's sake, you know, it's a little dramatic.
Speaker 2: My contract ends on June thirtieth, and that will be
Speaker 2: the end of my contractual obligations with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: We are in an.
Speaker 2: Unbelievably strange and interesting time in this industry and I've
Speaker 2: been lucky enough to be consistently employed in this industry
Speaker 2: for going on well, how like twenty five years now,
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, the twenty five years quarter of a century, baby.
Speaker 2: People have been paying me at least a couple of
Speaker 2: shekels to stand behind one of these microphones and talking
Speaker 2: to it a little bit. And I've worked at stations
Speaker 2: all over the place, and you've heard the stories about that.
Speaker 2: Over the years. I've met a lot of people in radio.
Speaker 2: I've met a lot of people on the high end
Speaker 2: of radio. I was taught by a lot of people
Speaker 2: on the high end of radio. I was taught by
Speaker 2: people like Kevin Metheni, who some of you might know
Speaker 2: or you've heard of, or you've seen him portrayed in
Speaker 2: a movie, A very very interesting cat man who was
Speaker 2: a worker through and through, died at his desk working
Speaker 2: at KGEO in San Francisco, California, talk radio Titan. The
Speaker 2: world have spoken word broadcasting. And it's not just because
Speaker 2: he had nice things to say about me, right, not
Speaker 2: just because Kevin Methani had nice things to say about me.
Speaker 2: Something about Sean is the future of the spoken word format.
Speaker 2: You know, these sorts of things. It's not it's weird
Speaker 2: that we can't.
Speaker 3: We can't go back to him and confirm that he did,
Speaker 3: in fact say that you're convenient for you. That we
Speaker 3: can't confirm with Kevin Matheeni because he's no longer with us,
Speaker 3: that he said you're the future of spoken word.
Speaker 2: You know why he said that about me? You know,
Speaker 2: I respected me because he was a mentor.
Speaker 1: Kicked in.
Speaker 2: He tried to get me to say w NBC, and
Speaker 2: then I refused. I said no, no, I won't do
Speaker 2: I should have tried that method.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not imagine the level of success I would
Speaker 1: have had, so I suppose it myself.
Speaker 2: Long story short, I know I know a lot of
Speaker 2: people in the industry, and I'm you know, thankful that
Speaker 2: I've been able to have a pretty fun career so far.
Speaker 2: But now I feel like I'm on the precipice of
Speaker 2: where I can break it full speed ahead, or I
Speaker 2: have to go in another direction, or I need another
Speaker 2: company that's going to show me more support than iHeartRadio
Speaker 2: has shown me over the last ten years or so.
Speaker 2: And it's not to say they've shown me none, because
Speaker 2: they've certainly put a lot of faith in the show.
Speaker 2: They say nice things to see Landing myself all the
Speaker 2: time about the show.
Speaker 1: They're very very they're very very supportive.
Speaker 2: In fact, some of the most flattering things that we've
Speaker 2: been told about this show are things from people who
Speaker 2: are in the industry. There's a guy one time who
Speaker 2: they aired the show in a great time slot, but
Speaker 2: they also put the show on another time slot, and
Speaker 2: we're like, why are you doing this in two timeslots?
Speaker 2: And the guy was like, because that's when I drive
Speaker 2: home and I want to make sure I can hear
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 1: Flex. I'm like a lot of flex. I loved that, dude.
Speaker 2: This is like in the industry, a program director keeping
Speaker 2: some kind of praise on you like that. Those are
Speaker 2: the reasons why I wake up in the morning, you know,
Speaker 2: that is what I'm doing all of this for. I
Speaker 2: love the stuff. Sometimes I feel like I'm the last
Speaker 2: one who does who who wakes up and just eats
Speaker 2: and breathes this stuff. But I love it and I
Speaker 2: want to I want to see if I can take
Speaker 2: this as far as I possibly can. So Usually, in radio,
Speaker 2: as you've probably heard me say before, at least at iHeartRadio,
Speaker 2: you have a deal where with one year left on
Speaker 2: your contract, they make your next deal. They do not
Speaker 2: let people go to the finish line like this. It
Speaker 2: doesn't happen. They generally speaking, are signing deals or extending deals,
Speaker 2: as you may have noticed Sea Led, when people have
Speaker 2: one year left, they're like, oh, we're kicking in the
Speaker 2: contractual extension, you know, bob blah blah blah blah. And
Speaker 2: then they run it, run it down the line as
Speaker 2: far as they can. And in this case, I have
Speaker 2: less than thirty days on my contract, and I will
Speaker 2: not work without a contract. They asked me to do
Speaker 2: this before, when I was at another time slot. They've
Speaker 2: asked me to do this previously in my history. I
Speaker 2: don't care. I mean, at this point, I've got enough
Speaker 2: money in the bank that if I didn't work for
Speaker 2: a little while and I was waiting for a deal
Speaker 2: to wrap up with one of the competitors, that would
Speaker 2: be a okay.
Speaker 1: I'd be doing just fine.
Speaker 2: But by the way, Live Trivia ain't coming back, all right,
Speaker 2: Live Trivia ain't coming back for any Just stop that, please.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm an old code a reno here, that's what he
Speaker 3: calls himself. Guys, he calls himself cod reno.
Speaker 1: I said.
Speaker 2: I said, I said, maybe Apple knows a good cod reino.
Speaker 2: When they say that, I didn't say, I when they
Speaker 2: see them. And I said, I'm I'm the top coderino,
Speaker 2: but I am the top coderina just for the record.
Speaker 1: All right, So fair enough.
Speaker 2: So I have less than thirty days on the contract.
Speaker 2: And I told you that they had asked me to
Speaker 2: do a call last week, which they did, and I said, okay,
Speaker 2: I agree, and I was on the phone with the
Speaker 2: suits and all of a sudden, the whole deal fell apart.
Speaker 2: The whole deal seemed to start crumbling. I was like,
Speaker 2: I thought we were at the finish line. They literally
Speaker 2: told me, Sean, we're at the finish line. The duits
Speaker 2: literally told me, Sean, we've got it there, We're at
Speaker 2: the finish line.
Speaker 1: I said, okay, well that sounds sort of promising.
Speaker 2: And then during the phone call, was like, well, we
Speaker 2: actually aren't doing this, this, this, and this, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is everything I'm asking for. So I told you
Speaker 2: last week, if you were paying any attention, that I
Speaker 2: was going to respond to the suit's email with one
Speaker 2: final email. And if they want to agree to what
Speaker 2: I'm asking for, Fine, we have a deal. If not,
Speaker 2: the pirate ship sales out into the bay and we
Speaker 2: find out what's next.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: And I did hear back, Actually I did hear back
Speaker 2: from the suits at iHeartRadio this weekend, and they said, I,
Speaker 2: you know, they gave me a promising update. All right,
Speaker 2: they gave me a promising update. I have not responded
Speaker 2: because I'm not responding anymore. Hit me when you agree
Speaker 2: to the things that I've asked for in this email,
Speaker 2: and those things are that you show this show the
Speaker 2: respect that I think it deserves, and that you go
Speaker 2: with my plan to move things forward and blow this
Speaker 2: up as big as we possibly can. And it looks
Speaker 2: like there may be some movement on that I expect
Speaker 2: to hear within the next two weeks whether they're going
Speaker 2: to give the thumbs up or thumbs down on this
Speaker 2: ultimatum that I've given the suits at iHeartRadio. And if
Speaker 2: they do it, then it's going to be a huge,
Speaker 2: explosive final run for the show on traditional broadcast. And
Speaker 2: if they well, I'm not doing this for a giant
Speaker 2: corporation forever. Like I said, the future of this show
Speaker 2: is our secret show subscribers, the people who support us
Speaker 2: Selane through these other elements and ways like gifting, subscriptions
Speaker 2: and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: That's the future of the show.
Speaker 2: That's how you get the most independence and you create
Speaker 2: the best product in the long term. But but you know,
Speaker 2: you gotta if you really want to grab it, if
Speaker 2: you really want to grab the crown and hold on
Speaker 2: to it, you got to utilize the existing infrastructure before
Speaker 2: it all crumbles, and you have to get in front
Speaker 2: of as many ears and eyes as you can. And
Speaker 2: that to me right now means with radio where it is,
Speaker 2: getting in front of it as many people out on
Speaker 2: as many stations as we possibly can in the great
Speaker 2: final Hurrah, you know, the big run up to the
Speaker 2: finish line before we explode and kind of do this
Speaker 2: on our own somewhere. So that's what the questions are
Speaker 2: all about. I've given them the ultimatum I expect to
Speaker 2: possibly I would expect to hear back from them in
Speaker 2: the next two weeks, and at that point in time,
Speaker 2: I'll do a last announcement of either we have a
Speaker 2: deal and here's what the deal is, and here's what
Speaker 2: the plans are, and I'll just give you guys, a
Speaker 2: state of the Union sort of for the news junkies.
Speaker 1: Just read the whole thing. Just read boss, go No,
Speaker 1: that's not the state of the Unit, all right, I
Speaker 1: know it's Stattysburg. I guess this is why it's true. Man,
Speaker 1: that's true. It's true.
Speaker 2: So here's here's the other thing that's got me, that's
Speaker 2: got me swinging a little bit. I, as I said,
Speaker 2: have a lot of birdies in the radio industry, and
Speaker 2: I have heard something that I think it could happen,
Speaker 2: could could has a decent chance of happening and will
Speaker 2: forever impact not just talk radio, but radio as a whole.
Speaker 2: And if you care about radio at all, this is
Speaker 2: going to impact you in some way.
Speaker 1: All Right.
Speaker 2: The thing that I'm hearing is that there's kind of
Speaker 2: a lot to the conversations that are going on between
Speaker 2: this very big it's the biggest, it's the biggest name
Speaker 2: in podcasting and radio. iHeart Radio aka iHeart Media. There
Speaker 2: are some really really big discussions legitimately going on between
Speaker 2: iHeartMedia and Serious XM. All right, we knew that that
Speaker 2: was kind of happening. There was some rumors, we got
Speaker 2: some emails internally about like, hey, guys, everything's doing okay,
Speaker 2: everything's fun. But even though there's there's talks of this
Speaker 2: stalling a little bit. In the past couple of weeks,
Speaker 2: I have heard that these conversations are very much serious. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Serious.
Speaker 2: Second, and here is what I have heard that really
Speaker 2: makes me wary about the suits. That makes me wary
Speaker 2: about the industry and the future of radio in general.
Speaker 2: What I hear is there's an issue with this deal
Speaker 2: and if SERRIOUSXM closes on what they're looking to do
Speaker 2: and merges with iHeartRadio, they immediately want.
Speaker 1: To sell off all the radio stations, all right.
Speaker 2: That is the big talk of town is that Serious
Speaker 2: wants the podcast side of iHeart Radio slash iHeart Media,
Speaker 2: and isn't really that much interested in these sticks as
Speaker 2: they call them in the industry, these stations, these radio
Speaker 2: stations that you know and love and that you that
Speaker 2: you've you've grown up with and listened to maybe your
Speaker 2: whole life, like this fine radio station referring to the
Speaker 2: tower of the broadcast, the signal.
Speaker 1: I think when people say sticks, yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 2: So the rumor that's floating around is that if there
Speaker 2: was a merger between these two companies, they would want
Speaker 2: to immediately sell off all of the radio stations.
Speaker 1: Which could be good and it could be bad.
Speaker 2: It could be good because that would allow for a
Speaker 2: lot more competition in the radio landscape.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: That would allow for the companies to gobble up a
Speaker 2: couple here and a couple there, and then more companies
Speaker 2: pop in. And it's not just you know, iHeartRadio and
Speaker 2: Cox and the big companies that are out there that
Speaker 2: that throw these deals at people. It would mean that
Speaker 2: there are more options and more opportunities, but it could
Speaker 2: also mean a little bit of chaos. So if your
Speaker 2: plan is like, hey, here's the stations that I'm on,
Speaker 2: here's the future that I'm relying on, here's what I'm
Speaker 2: depending on for the next X amount of years, and
Speaker 2: then you don't even know if all these stations are
Speaker 2: going to be sold off, there's the kicker. All right,
Speaker 2: that's the thing. Now, I'll tell you I'm not being
Speaker 2: secretive about this. My plan is to ride the wave
Speaker 2: like the Humunga calabunga from down und all right, A
Speaker 2: couple of you will know what that is. There's a
Speaker 2: cheesy surfing movie where the guy surfs the biggest wave
Speaker 2: in the world and he calls it the Humonga Calabunga
Speaker 2: from So Bad So so I on his surfout on
Speaker 2: the biggest wave possible, getting in front of as many
Speaker 2: people on as many iHeartRadio stations as we possibly can.
Speaker 1: And that way, when we moved.
Speaker 2: To a more independent forum of this, then we can
Speaker 2: have the most people coming along with us. You can't
Speaker 2: just start a podcast out of nowhere and get a
Speaker 2: huge audience. You have to build them up and you
Speaker 2: have to have a way to get to those people.
Speaker 2: So you've seen me working at that. You know, we
Speaker 2: haven't talked much about it, you and I, but we've
Speaker 2: seen You've seen me working at that over the last ten, twelve,
Speaker 2: fourteen years.
Speaker 1: And now we're at this precipice.
Speaker 2: We're at this moment where we have a lot of
Speaker 2: uncertainty in the industry, a lot of uncertainty about the
Speaker 2: future of radio, a lot of uncertainty about the future
Speaker 2: of the format, a lot of uncertainty about the company,
Speaker 2: a lot of uncertainty about where all of this goes.
Speaker 2: But I don't know, it's kind of exciting in a way.
Speaker 2: It would be for you, It would be for you, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I mean, there's so much that
Speaker 2: is up in the air right now, and I just
Speaker 2: wanted to let you know where this was all sort
Speaker 2: of heading, and that's the direction that it's heading in.
Speaker 2: So I don't know what we'll hear from iHeart in
Speaker 2: the next two weeks, but if we do hear something,
Speaker 2: I'll let you know. If independent is the route, I'll
Speaker 2: let you know. We'll see. And I appreciate all the support.
Speaker 2: I appreciate all of you who are going to the
Speaker 2: next level of being a Secret Show subscriber. I appreciate
Speaker 2: all of that, and the gifted subs and all just
Speaker 2: drastically has changed the game around here. I've had a
Speaker 2: lot of fun in the last couple of months in particular,
Speaker 2: and I think we're doing some pretty good radio. I
Speaker 2: think we're putting out some pretty good content. And the
Speaker 2: numbers certainly suggests to iHeartMedia that or iHeartRadio that that
Speaker 2: is happening.
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's sort of what's going on.
Speaker 2: That's the industry buzz, that's the talk out there that
Speaker 2: nobody else is going to tell you about. That's the
Speaker 2: uncertainty in which we find ours And we'll see what
Speaker 2: happens over the next two weeks. Hang out with us
Speaker 2: if you don't mind quick break. By the way, Amy
Speaker 2: Kaufel will be back with us next Monday. She is
Speaker 2: pulling double duty today and just working her ass off.
Speaker 2: Just got back from vacation and they go straight back
Speaker 2: in get into it when we come back.
Speaker 1: We have so much more to get through.
Speaker 2: There is a new technology that is the worst idea
Speaker 2: in the world, that's dangerous.
Speaker 1: For all of us.
Speaker 2: We have to talk about We have to talk about this,
Speaker 2: this huge lego drama that's exploding online. And the weirdest
Speaker 2: story of the week, I swear to you, the weirdest
Speaker 2: story of the.
Speaker 1: Week that is coming up next in the news.
Speaker 7: Chunky.
Speaker 2: Somebody is saying, and I've gotten a emails suggesting this too, Like, Hey, Sean,
Speaker 2: you should buy one of these radio stations. Yes, if
Speaker 2: this big rumor is true that you're talking about, you
Speaker 2: should buy one of these radio stations. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 2: let me tell you a little some if they sell
Speaker 2: off any any radio station that we're on. Okay, these
Speaker 2: radio stations are probably worth twenty five to fifty million dollars,
Speaker 2: at least many of them.
Speaker 1: Are worth even more than that.
Speaker 2: These are very expensive one hundred thousand watt clear channel
Speaker 2: radio stations. Not clear channel as in the company, clear
Speaker 2: channel as in the technology. These are big sticks, as
Speaker 2: they say in the radio industry. I am buying a
Speaker 2: radio station in twenty twenty six, all right, not happening,
Speaker 2: not going to be a thing. Not no, Not on
Speaker 2: the horred there's twenty five to fifty to more million dollars.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people out there that have
Speaker 2: that money to throw out around, that will do it.
Speaker 2: That that would gobble up a bunch of these stations
Speaker 2: if every single one of them went on the market
Speaker 2: real quickly. A lot of geniuses out there, a lot
Speaker 2: a lot of people with some some bankroll, a lot
Speaker 2: of Randy Michaels type characters out there, love that guy,
Speaker 2: A lot of those people out in the mix.
Speaker 1: But that ain't me. That ain't that ain't That's not
Speaker 1: my path forward.
Speaker 2: I've already laid out a little bit of what my
Speaker 2: strategy is, I think, and if you missed that, go
Speaker 2: back on the podcast available after the show at the
Speaker 2: newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 3: Okay, so think in your head of the the poster
Speaker 3: board that Kevin McAllister draws all of his plans on
Speaker 3: that's that's that's a lot like what Sean strategy looks like.
Speaker 2: It's all in kram like we do this and then
Speaker 2: we do this, and then we take over the world.
Speaker 1: All rightfen gifted subject backwards.
Speaker 2: I wanted to share this story with you because it's
Speaker 2: absolutely utely crazy. But and I have so many theories
Speaker 2: on what's going on here, but I have to tell
Speaker 2: you first, really quickly. Janine with a five gifted subscriptions
Speaker 2: at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Thank you to Janine.
Speaker 2: Also thinking to Ardnis with five gifted subscriptions to secret
Speaker 2: shows and Lovely Lolita with five gifted subscriptions. All of
Speaker 2: them gone gobblegobblegobble. They ate them all up just like that.
Speaker 2: And hopefully your next we'll see what's going on now
Speaker 2: to the question to the video that I don't know
Speaker 2: what to make of, I don't know what's going on here,
Speaker 2: and I'm interested in your theories. In New York City
Speaker 2: over the weekend you might have heard of it New Yoshity,
Speaker 2: there was multiple videos of people climbing out of the
Speaker 2: sewers like the Ninja Turtles, or something. And these people
Speaker 2: they went in and they had like headlamps on and
Speaker 2: they were like a whole crew of them and then
Speaker 2: they went out. Then they got out of the sewers.
Speaker 2: Here's some example footage for those of you watching on YouTube.
Speaker 2: I'll put it up on see it now as well
Speaker 2: on the website of the app. Here they are climbing
Speaker 2: out center of the road. This guy just pops up
Speaker 2: and the center of the road pushes the manhold to
Speaker 2: the side and people are just climbing out of the ground.
Speaker 2: No big whoop. Here we go. They're carrying a couple
Speaker 2: of things with him. There's a third person climbing out.
Speaker 1: That's a shoful.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. It got some like some minor equipment
Speaker 2: with them. But they're not construction workers. They're not like
Speaker 2: some kind of official workers.
Speaker 1: Okay, they crowd out. This guy crawled that when a
Speaker 1: car was almost driving over his head that was got
Speaker 1: extremely close to his head. There's another person. Five.
Speaker 2: Now we got five people that are are crawling out
Speaker 2: of this barbecue. Baby on YouTube says people have been
Speaker 2: living in the underground network of New York City for
Speaker 2: a long time. These people aren't living in there they
Speaker 2: have headlamps on and stuff. They must have been in
Speaker 2: there for a reason. There's something going on.
Speaker 3: They're going exploring some people, I think some of the
Speaker 3: subway enthusiasts, you know, people that are big fans of
Speaker 3: the Metro subway system and how it works and how
Speaker 3: it was built. It's a fascinating thing. It is a
Speaker 3: deep dive that I could go on and waste a
Speaker 3: lot of time on because I just find the whole
Speaker 3: thing very, very fascinating. There are people who are that
Speaker 3: much into it that they try to go find abandoned
Speaker 3: subway stations, like old stations that were either never finished
Speaker 3: or closed off because they change routes and stuff. And
Speaker 3: I've seen YouTube videos where guys like, I think it's
Speaker 3: right down here if I just open this manhole and
Speaker 3: go down this way.
Speaker 1: But what do you do.
Speaker 2: They're looking for treasure down there. They're going to take pictures.
Speaker 2: They're looking to you think of like like urbex you know,
Speaker 2: like urban exploring. Somebody said, did they put the manhole back?
Speaker 2: I think they did slide the manhole back at the
Speaker 2: last moment so nobody else falls down to like that
Speaker 2: lady last.
Speaker 3: Week, Well that's what I was worried about because I
Speaker 3: thought only like three people had climbed out of this thing.
Speaker 3: And they're like, they just left the manhole off and
Speaker 3: another person's gonna fall and die. And I didn't know
Speaker 3: there were six more people crawling out of the sewer here. No, no,
Speaker 3: it's crazy. And I also have to tell you, hold on,
Speaker 3: where is the moment. I'm gonna get a screenshot here
Speaker 3: of this moment here, and this is when a guy
Speaker 3: almost gets hit by a car as he's popping out
Speaker 3: of the manhole.
Speaker 2: I'm going to put this video up on see it now.
Speaker 2: But it's not just one video. It happened all over
Speaker 2: New York City this weekend.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: Here's another example, and this is Brooklyn manhole mystery. Brooklyn
Speaker 2: sewer mystery. The New York Police Department NYPD is investigating
Speaker 2: after several people were filmed emerging from sewers in Brooklyn
Speaker 2: and Williamsburg. They changed out of dirty, dirty clothing and
Speaker 2: they left in waiting vehicles.
Speaker 1: No arrests have been made.
Speaker 2: And here's the second video here, and it's a different
Speaker 2: manhole here in the street. And like again, like the
Speaker 2: Ninja Turtles, the light pops up you know, they got
Speaker 2: like a headlamp pops up and like little cartoon characters,
Speaker 2: they come out of the ground through the manhole and
Speaker 2: then one by one they make their way wherever. This
Speaker 2: is a different intersection than the last one. These This
Speaker 2: was happening all over this city of New York. New
Speaker 2: York City had people just pop it out of the ground.
Speaker 1: Kurt says, just a little metro splunking. Mind your business.
Speaker 1: It's very weird.
Speaker 2: Somebody say, are they looking for treasure? What are they
Speaker 2: looking for? It's almost as good as you remember the
Speaker 2: video of the Jewish guy coming out of the ground.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, coming out of ground. I don't know
Speaker 2: if I'll be able to find this. This happened during
Speaker 2: the pandemic or something. There was this like Jewish dude
Speaker 2: with like the locks, the curls, you know, Hasidic style.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: I was like, how do you know he's Jewish? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I'll be able to find it.
Speaker 3: But like he just was popping out of the I
Speaker 3: wanted to sign to be a little more comical than that,
Speaker 3: Like I like, he pops out of the sewer.
Speaker 1: O may I found it? I about it? Okay? I
Speaker 1: remember this guy.
Speaker 3: Oh and they used the uh was that among us sound?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And he pops out of the sewer and he's like
Speaker 2: behind a paper box. I don't know what all these
Speaker 2: people are doing under there? What's going on New York City?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 2: What is happening? Some people are saying illegal immigrants. I
Speaker 2: don't think so. I think that there's people. I think
Speaker 2: they're looking for something. I think they're wandering around down
Speaker 2: there looking for something. That's why they got those little
Speaker 2: minor lights on their heads, like strapped around their foreheads.
Speaker 2: Eighteen No, my minor M I N E R. I
Speaker 2: think is what I'm looking for. But so there you go.
Speaker 2: I'm putting that up on See It Now so you
Speaker 2: could take a peek and tell us what think about this,
Speaker 2: give us your thoughts all the rest. I was very
Speaker 2: very interested to see these videos, and I want to
Speaker 2: know what the story is. But people popping up in
Speaker 2: New York City manholes is what I'll put for a title.
Speaker 2: And we'll get that up for you and See it Now.

Speaker 2: I want to see what Bart versus Bill Gates Gates
Speaker 2: has to say, but that's still coming in. Here is
Speaker 2: John the Exterminator talking about why the two hundred fiftieth
Speaker 2: anniversary is scheduled for Wednesday this week in June.
Speaker 8: Hello, as crazy as it sounds, the reason why the
Speaker 8: two hundred and fiftieth Anniversary of America is happening in
Speaker 8: June coincidentally, that's when Trump's birthday is happening. And last
Speaker 8: time Trump held a parade on his birthday saying it
Speaker 8: was for America, it was a big nothing burger.
Speaker 1: Nothing weird going on. No, I'm not saying anything weird's
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, if we're going to do the two undred
Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary of the United States of America, I
Speaker 2: would have thought we would do a big, giant event
Speaker 2: on the fourth of July, and then on the fourth
Speaker 2: of July, everybody would come together and it wouldn't be
Speaker 2: political or anything, and we'd celebrate with great American musicians
Speaker 2: and just a good American nationwide cookout and something to
Speaker 2: bring us all together. I think that would be fantastic,
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Here's Bart versus Bill Gates on
Speaker 2: the tunnel situation.
Speaker 9: Hey guys talking about the manhole cave dwelling people. It's
Speaker 9: like what Seelane said, it's probably just Herbex explorers going
Speaker 9: under the tunnels in New York's case, probably viewing a
Speaker 9: bunch of like abandoned subway tunnels. But I watch a
Speaker 9: bunch of people on YouTube that do this in England
Speaker 9: and they always find like old bomb shelters or just
Speaker 9: old unused tunnels. They even take their boats sometimes there's
Speaker 9: like all these like river systems that run underneath the city,
Speaker 9: and they take their boat underneath through the tunnels and
Speaker 9: it's pretty cool. They even We'll get out, crawl up
Speaker 9: the manholes and then go grab something to eat, then
Speaker 9: crawl back down and there continue exploring healthy Anyways, have
Speaker 9: a good show, guys.
Speaker 2: Manhole body and your man hold dirty hands, and then
Speaker 2: you're going back out to eat a little disgusting in
Speaker 2: my opinion. But here's what we're gonna do quick break.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we got the hot sheet on
Speaker 2: the way. We'll see what's going on there. We got
Speaker 2: more of your dispatches. We will queue up in the
Speaker 2: second half of the show. Rate my blank and see
Speaker 2: what our submissions look like. So far, we got a
Speaker 2: lot for you. It's a busy Monday, and we roll on.
Speaker 2: That's coming up next on the news Chunkie. We'll get
Speaker 2: to the hot sheet here in just a moment on
Speaker 2: the show. I have a story, but I'm now becoming smarter.
Speaker 2: I'm evolving. I'm becoming smarter because I saw that the
Speaker 2: story was about something that happened on a plane, and
Speaker 2: then I was that. My brain started to go and
Speaker 2: I go, well, how do I I just won't do
Speaker 2: the story. I was like, I'll take away all the
Speaker 2: plane related stories from people. If you guys want to
Speaker 2: start spamming the plane emote and emoji to play the song, yeah,
Speaker 2: that would stop that from happening. To cut it away
Speaker 2: and take it from people. There they go, all right,
Speaker 2: the plane emojis are firing up in chat. I didn't
Speaker 2: even talk about the story. But I'm talking about talking
Speaker 2: about the story. I'm not even to it. I'm not
Speaker 2: even at that spot right now, So I don't think
Speaker 2: that counts. But a United flight headed into.
Speaker 1: Story. As long as it flies as you, I guess
Speaker 1: we're back on the land. Here we go.
Speaker 2: United flight heading to Spain turned around and returned to Newark,
Speaker 2: New Jersey due to a potential security concern, the airline, said.
Speaker 2: A TikTok user a board flight two thirty six said
Speaker 2: the crew was alerted to a Bluetooth network labeled as bomb.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: Once again, another Bluetooth network labeled as bomb turned this
Speaker 2: flight around. It had departed from Newark Liberty International Airport
Speaker 2: en route to Spain, and then mid flight it turns back.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. If I'm on a let's
Speaker 2: say seven hour flight. If I'm on a seven hour
Speaker 2: flight to Spain from the United States of America, and
Speaker 2: on my seven or eight hour flight four hours in,
Speaker 2: if your little monster demon spawn thinks it's funny to
Speaker 2: name his Wi Fi or blue tooth bomb and then
Speaker 2: bomb bomb bomb bomb bomba bomb, the plane turns around
Speaker 2: because of the Bluetooth network name, and we drive all
Speaker 2: the way, fly all the way back. Here's the United
Speaker 2: States of America eight hours for nothing. I'm strangling with
Speaker 2: your kid. Where were they when they found this Bluetooth device?
Speaker 2: Because I read the way there so over the ocean?
Speaker 3: Then yeah, yeah, because I read a comment that was like,
Speaker 3: and maybe I don't have the map right in my head,
Speaker 3: but it was like, why if you thought that this
Speaker 3: could be a bomb, would you not just emergency land
Speaker 3: at the nearest airport. Why would you turn around and
Speaker 3: go all the way back to Jersey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I guess, especially if you're halfway there, you're like,
Speaker 2: you're just as either way, you're just as dangerous. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I would be making logical arguments on this plane ceiling.
Speaker 2: I would be standing up to be like, technically, ladies
Speaker 2: and gentlemen, we are in just as much danger if
Speaker 2: we keep going to our destination as if we head back.
Speaker 1: To where we came from. So we should keep going.
Speaker 7: And the people will be like, yes, right, this.
Speaker 1: Is your brave heart moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that guy's right, whatever his name, The ugly
Speaker 2: guy's right way, Hey, wait, what the hell something like that.
Speaker 2: All right, here we go. Let's do it. Let's do
Speaker 2: the hot sheets.
Speaker 1: News, but not like important news. That's again reporting on
Speaker 1: the planet.
Speaker 10: The top stories from the people on your screens and
Speaker 10: speakers are on the Hot sheet with sea La.
Speaker 2: That's right, the top five stories in heaven and Earth.
Speaker 1: The nonsense news is here. Thank you to.
Speaker 3: Everybody who listened or who watched the Hot Sheet on
Speaker 3: Friday and noticed me screwing.
Speaker 1: With Josh in the background.
Speaker 3: I couldn't tell if Josh was just being professional or
Speaker 3: if he just didn't realize anything was happening.
Speaker 2: You Adam until I think, like the close to the
Speaker 2: last hour of the show, he's like, Oh, what the
Speaker 2: heck's going on here? I noticed that the sign behind
Speaker 2: him on the live stream was being surreptitiously changed by Selane.
Speaker 3: My mother was sitting next to me on the train
Speaker 3: when I was doing that, and she thought it was
Speaker 3: the most hilarious thing. Just all of a sudden, it
Speaker 3: switches to Josh as a tool good times, get them sane,
Speaker 3: not so good times. Over the weekend, though, a couple
Speaker 3: of deaths in the news, like like at least three.
Speaker 3: One of them was from this band, Oh Oh, Casey
Speaker 3: and the sun Shoe. This is brick House by the
Speaker 3: commodore That's right. One of the founding members and basis
Speaker 3: for the sole band, the Commodorees has died. His daughter,
Speaker 3: who is a music producer named Soriah Lapride, shared the
Speaker 3: sad news on social media Saturday, said, our father, Ronald
Speaker 3: Laprede has passed away. He was the basis for the
Speaker 3: Commodore's So and I liked the headline that somebody wrote.
Speaker 3: They said, this guy will definitely not be playing at
Speaker 3: the America two fifty concert.
Speaker 1: True.
Speaker 3: Comodor has had recently pulled out of that event. The musician,
Speaker 3: originally from Alabama, played on eleven of the group's album
Speaker 3: and contributed to hits such as Brick House, which just
Speaker 3: heard three Times a Lady and Easy also dead. Matt
Speaker 3: Brown of Alaskan Bush People, Now, I have not seen
Speaker 3: Alaskan Bush People, But have you perused that show?
Speaker 2: I've heard of it, but I'm with you, I have
Speaker 2: not actually seen it at all.
Speaker 1: The Star, it says star, I never know. I can't.
Speaker 3: I can never tell if people are being serious when
Speaker 3: they use the word star anymore because it's so overused.
Speaker 3: The Star was found dead at forty two. His brother
Speaker 3: said Matt had a history of addiction had become estranged
Speaker 3: from his family. He appeared on early seasons of the
Speaker 3: reality show, but stepped away to enter rehab. They had
Speaker 3: to pull them out of a river and also rip
Speaker 3: in this one.
Speaker 8: Sad.
Speaker 1: I hate to hear it.
Speaker 3: I hate to hear when they do this, because they
Speaker 3: said just days shy of his one hundredth birthday.
Speaker 2: Joe Negree Negree Yeah, known to many with in Pittsburgh
Speaker 2: as Handyman Negree on Mister Rogers neighborhood. Mister Rogers Handyman
Speaker 2: dead at ninety nine. He almost made it right there,
Speaker 2: up to the finish line, almost.
Speaker 3: To his hundredth birthday. But rest in peace, Rappy, it's
Speaker 3: your birthday friend. How are you doing? Rapper Boozy Badass
Speaker 3: is in a bit of trouble. He's been hit with
Speaker 3: a felony assault charge. They said he hit a bouncer
Speaker 3: at a club with the base of a hookah, which
Speaker 3: sounds like it would absolutely hurt. Badass is a lawyer,
Speaker 3: Carl Carl Mortels TMC. We planned vigorously investigate and defend
Speaker 3: mister Hatch, the real name of mister Boozy Badass. We
Speaker 3: wish everyone would reserve any judgment and allow the case
Speaker 3: to play out in court. The Houston Police Department says
Speaker 3: security guard Edward Eigelheart was clearing out the club at
Speaker 3: closing time on May twenty fourth when he got into
Speaker 3: it with a female patron who wanted to use the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Iigohart claims the patron elbowed him in the face when
Speaker 3: he told her she couldn't use the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then they said he turned around and saw Boozy
Speaker 3: holding a broken glass Guoka Bass and believe the rapper
Speaker 3: smashed it over his head. Damn Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 1: Damn it.
Speaker 2: I meant to play her song. Oh okay, I know one.
Speaker 2: It's cappuccino or something. It's espresso, espressoh yeah, okay, yeah, she's.
Speaker 1: A little girl. Oh gosh, it's the one stupid. He's
Speaker 1: got the iHeart provo on it.
Speaker 2: Hey, what's up as Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what she sounds like us, except she's been
Speaker 3: saying that to a judge because she's seeking court ordered
Speaker 3: protection from a man she says showed up to her
Speaker 3: home less than twenty four hours after being arrested for
Speaker 3: allegedly trying to enter her front door. How is this
Speaker 3: man not already under some sort of court order protection?
Speaker 3: If you were trying to enter Sabrina Carpenter's front door,
Speaker 3: you got arrested for doing that, I don't know.
Speaker 2: She has to fight for the like clearly, everybody with
Speaker 2: a brain knows that there's a massive problem here.
Speaker 3: The Singers legal team b lined it to court Friday
Speaker 3: and filed a petition for a restraining order against the
Speaker 3: thirty one year old man named William Applegate. Sabrina claims
Speaker 3: Applegate showed up to her La home on May twenty third,
Speaker 3: unannounced and uninvited. She said it was clear to her
Speaker 3: that his approach was deliberate, calculated, and aggressive, which is
Speaker 3: deeply alarming. The filing includes photos from Sabrina Carpenter's ring
Speaker 3: doorbell camera showing the man at her front door.
Speaker 2: Look at that, just like you and I. Yeah, she's
Speaker 2: got the same kind of celebrities. You know, they're just
Speaker 2: like us ring doorbell cameras. It is kind of weird
Speaker 2: that Sabrina Carpenter would have the same doorbell camera that
Speaker 2: I had.
Speaker 1: That's how it is for cell phones too.
Speaker 2: Even the most famous, richest people, Bezos has like the
Speaker 2: same cell phone as Hobo's.
Speaker 1: That's craziness. And then this guy right.
Speaker 3: Here, you're probably the Upstammit, the Sabrina Carpenter got this
Speaker 3: guy right here, You're not going to get this. So
Speaker 3: it's Morgan Wallen. Wallen, country singer. He had a little
Speaker 3: bit of a breakdown on stage Friday night at his concert.
Speaker 1: He he did what.
Speaker 2: Some people in the business like to call.
Speaker 1: Pulling a Billy Joel.
Speaker 3: Video shows Wallen singing his songs sand in My Boots
Speaker 3: on the piano during his concert in Denver, Colorado, when
Speaker 3: he appears to become frustrated with some technical difficulties, he
Speaker 3: takes the microphone and tells the crowd he's just gonna
Speaker 3: sing a cappella. The crowd erupts in cheers as Wallen
Speaker 3: finishes the song, and when it's over, he flipped the
Speaker 3: piano over on stage, just like flipped it over. We
Speaker 3: call that a billy joel sometimes he did that. He
Speaker 3: did that in Russia. He got really pissed off that
Speaker 3: they were broke piano lighting the crowd.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 3: Somebody on the comment section said, well, at least he
Speaker 3: didn't follow throw it off of a roof so well,
Speaker 3: which Morgan Wallen has been known to do.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's new music Monday.
Speaker 3: Let's check out what's happening on your various streaming apps.
Speaker 3: We like iHeartRadio if you you particularly have that one
Speaker 3: for your streaming.
Speaker 1: And the new album's coming out.
Speaker 3: Paul McCartney's got this one that he's been doing the
Speaker 3: whole press store for the Boys of Dungeon Lane, his
Speaker 3: first solo studio released in over five years, with a
Speaker 3: guest appearance from Mister Ringo Starr Kurt Vile, Philadelphia has
Speaker 3: been good to Me. Violetrole Yes, oh, Dave Grohl's daughter,
Speaker 3: Dave Girl's daughter. Her debut full length project produced by
Speaker 3: Justin Raisin Be Sweet to Me, released by Violet Role. Hey,

Speaker 3: A lot of times he can follow him on social
Speaker 3: media and visit him at that mortgage guy Don dot.
Speaker 2: Com dot com. Thank you, Sea Lane quick break. When
Speaker 2: we come back, we'll take a look. We have so
Speaker 2: many of these rate my blanks for a Monday today,
Speaker 2: it's rate my home screen. We want to see what
Speaker 2: we can learn about you from your smartphone home screens,
Speaker 2: and I've got so many of these. We'll try to
Speaker 2: read into these people's brains, in their worlds and see
Speaker 2: what we.
Speaker 1: Can learn about them.
Speaker 2: Plus, there's somebody who wants to get into your home,
Speaker 2: and I am telling you this company, do not let
Speaker 2: them in.
Speaker 1: This is insanity.
Speaker 2: People are so they're so worried about trying to get
Speaker 2: the best free thing they possibly can, they don't even
Speaker 2: consider who they're letting into.
Speaker 1: Their home for free.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's going on and protect you from
Speaker 2: this a little bit because that is coming up next
Speaker 2: on the news Junkie. Okay, I have a huge question
Speaker 2: for you. Then I want to get in to rate
Speaker 2: my blank what we're doing for today. The question is
Speaker 2: would you let these people in your house? This is
Speaker 2: a crazy, crazy thing, but it's real, all right. A
Speaker 2: company just launched in New York City and it's going
Speaker 2: to be spreading hopefully across the country. This company wants
Speaker 2: to go into your house. Now, the only question I
Speaker 2: have for you is are you going to let them
Speaker 2: in your house?
Speaker 1: Why do they want to go in my house? Sean?
Speaker 2: All right, I'll answer your question now that you've asked it.
Speaker 2: This company wants to go in your house and clean.
Speaker 2: They want to clean your house, They want to clean
Speaker 2: your dishes. They want to clean all right, they want
Speaker 2: to clean things up. They want to do some other
Speaker 2: stuff as well. But here's the kicker. When you let
Speaker 2: this company in and they clean your house or do
Speaker 2: your dishes or do whatever around the house, it's free.
Speaker 1: You don't have to pay them a dime, not a thing,
Speaker 1: not even a red scent at all. What's the catch.
Speaker 2: The catch is, well, I believe they're using it to
Speaker 2: teach Ai. They're using it to teach Ai how to
Speaker 2: do these chores, how to clean houses, how to do
Speaker 2: the dishes. They have to learn it somewhere. They want
Speaker 2: to go to different environments. So they want to go
Speaker 2: to your house and learn through somebody doing the work
Speaker 2: of cleaning your dishes or cleaning your house. They want
Speaker 2: to teach the Ai that, which is the value that
Speaker 2: they're getting out of it. But you'll be letting them
Speaker 2: in your house and you don't have to pay anything.
Speaker 1: Are you letting them in? Sea Leang? No? No? See
Speaker 1: this is crazy to me, But everybody said no, eving way,
Speaker 1: no way.
Speaker 2: I'm like you, guys, someone will clean your house for free,
Speaker 2: and you're saying that. They're all saying no, they're all saying, no,
Speaker 2: here's the company.
Speaker 1: How good a job are we talking? Well, let's find out.
Speaker 2: I've got to I'll play the ad for them in
Speaker 2: a second so we can all listen to it together.
Speaker 2: It's a company called Shift, and here's their launch today.
Speaker 2: We're launching Shift. It says, we start by cleaning your
Speaker 2: apartment in New York City for free.
Speaker 1: And here's how it works. You book a shift cleaning.
Speaker 2: A vetted Shift operator comes to your home wearing one
Speaker 2: of our devices, They clean, they leave, You pay nothing.
Speaker 1: That's it simple as that.
Speaker 2: You invite this person to come to your house, they
Speaker 2: clean your house, and you don't pay a dime. The
Speaker 2: only toss up is that they're teaching AI while they're
Speaker 2: doing it.
Speaker 1: In exchange, they say, we record the cleaning.
Speaker 2: Robotics is being built on data and how people do
Speaker 2: daily tasks, and the value of that recording is what
Speaker 2: funds the service. Anything personal in it is anonymized before
Speaker 2: the recording is processed.
Speaker 3: By now you have a family portrait on the wall,
Speaker 3: it's gonna draw happy faces over it.
Speaker 1: Or if you believe them, that's what they're claiming.
Speaker 2: By now, now you've heard about the Shift to AI more
Speaker 2: times than you can count about the shift toward you,
Speaker 2: the part where you actually feel it. You have heard
Speaker 2: almost nothing. They say this company Shift continues. They say,
Speaker 2: Shift is what starts to make it concrete in specific
Speaker 2: cities with specific services. Now here's the game changer for
Speaker 2: all of us. Today we're cleaning in New York. Soon
Speaker 2: we're offering handymen, repairs and errands across the country. This
Speaker 2: is just one side of SHIFT, with more on the way.
Speaker 2: And they launched this to eight point two million views
Speaker 2: with the video showing how they're going to do all
Speaker 2: of these things. You got a TV that needs to
Speaker 2: be hung, They're going to send somebody who's going to
Speaker 2: do it for free.
Speaker 1: You got a pressure.
Speaker 2: Clean that needs to be done on your driveway, They're
Speaker 2: going to send somebody out. They're going to pressure clean
Speaker 2: your driveway and it's free. The only hitch is that
Speaker 2: they will be teaching AI.
Speaker 1: How to do this job moving forward.
Speaker 3: I'll go for that, the pressure cleaning my driveway, so
Speaker 3: don't go inside. Rather it not be inside my house?
Speaker 3: All right, I want to see it. That's pretty attractive. Listen,
Speaker 3: I have you know, I have a kid. He has kid, friends,
Speaker 3: they make messes. He has a ballpit that you know,
Speaker 3: the balls never stay in the pit, so yeah, weird.
Speaker 3: Then come clean my kids balls.
Speaker 2: The heavy metal Cowboy on YouTube says, contributing to job
Speaker 2: Replacement Capital, Hell no, he's saying he's not going to
Speaker 2: do it. Here's their ad that has gotten eight million views.
Speaker 2: Right show, Somebody knocking on door.
Speaker 10: Is launching three house cleaning services in New York City.
Speaker 10: You might be asking, how is this possible?
Speaker 2: How is this possible? How is it possible? Do you
Speaker 2: put Alicia Keys in the background. That's one of the
Speaker 2: questions I have. If the robot damages stuff, Craig says,
Speaker 2: will the company be held liable? Good question? That is
Speaker 2: an excellent question. Well, I don't know what the answer.
Speaker 2: They're not the ones doing the robots. They like they're
Speaker 2: trying to be transparent about this, but I wonder, like
Speaker 2: how much of this is just them selling these videos
Speaker 2: to people to train the robots.
Speaker 1: Do they have to shift have robots?
Speaker 2: They are the workers are using robots, And there's other
Speaker 2: companies that are doing this too. Door Dash is testing
Speaker 2: it right now, Micro a company called Encord. They're all
Speaker 2: testing this. All they want to do is do a
Speaker 2: free task in your house, and all you have to
Speaker 2: do is sell out all of humanity because you're teaching
Speaker 2: them how to do it with robots, and all the
Speaker 2: humans will be fired as a result of this. But
Speaker 2: it's free. Hey, it's free. Let's see.
Speaker 10: This moment has been a long time coming and it's
Speaker 10: something we're really proud of. The future has always started
Speaker 10: in New York. Time it will start.
Speaker 2: I've they show these people. They're all wearing these white
Speaker 2: uniforms to say SHIFT. They're cleaning up like the counters.
Speaker 2: They're cleaning these houses. They're doing it for.
Speaker 10: Free across fifteen countries. Shift already pays tens of thousands
Speaker 10: of people through one app to record their everyday work
Speaker 10: in chores. Our users wear a small camera while.
Speaker 1: This is so crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they wear this hat with a camera on the
Speaker 2: front of it and that's all. That's all that's going
Speaker 2: to record them doing the task. That's what makes it free.
Speaker 2: But I haven't seen a single person and Chat so
Speaker 2: far say yes.
Speaker 1: That they would be interested in doing this. They have.
Speaker 2: I've seen one person who was like, well, I will
Speaker 2: let them in. I want free. Everybody loves free. I thought,
Speaker 2: But they don't want this because the AIF.
Speaker 10: Footage teaches the next generation of robots how to help
Speaker 10: every home clean today, doing dishes for a home that
Speaker 10: cleans itself tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And we're not stopping at cleaning.
Speaker 2: Are there vacuuming, plumbing, cooking, building fixing. They're doing all
Speaker 2: of the work that you could possibly think of at
Speaker 2: this company. So I send it over to you and
Speaker 2: I ask you, would you let them in your house?
Speaker 2: Would you let them welcome you to the shift? Whatever
Speaker 2: the hell that means? Would you? I'm I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna know because I can't. I would feel bad because
Speaker 2: I would rather pay a human to do it. I
Speaker 2: would rather pay a human to come over to my house,
Speaker 2: and then I know when they leave that that human
Speaker 2: took that money and they were able to buy some food,
Speaker 2: or they were able to pay a bill, or you know.
Speaker 7: I like.
Speaker 2: I like that element humans working with humans to do stuff. Now,
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, I'm not anti AI at all. Right,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get my my commencement speech is gonna get booted.
Speaker 1: I am not anti AI at all.
Speaker 2: The way I feel about AI is this, I think
Speaker 2: the AI should have its lanes where we let it
Speaker 2: run free, and then AI should have places where we
Speaker 2: block it entirely. My opinion on this is that things
Speaker 2: and I am as vested as vested could be, and
Speaker 2: things like programming and in digital creation of websites and
Speaker 2: content and these things, I am more than happy to
Speaker 2: utilize AI because these were things that were held by
Speaker 2: a small number of people that were quite expensive and cumbersome,
Speaker 2: and there was a big gap between you and the
Speaker 2: expert that could pull it off.
Speaker 1: That gap is gone. The AI can do a better job.
Speaker 2: Trust me when I say this than your developers and
Speaker 2: programmers could.
Speaker 1: It's just better.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make the errors and mistakes humans make mistakes.
Speaker 2: I think allowing the AI into some of these lanes
Speaker 2: like that. And again I understand that I'm vested. I
Speaker 2: understand that this is some of it. Of course, you
Speaker 2: like that, Sean, that's what you use it for. I
Speaker 2: think we should block AI in the creative world, all right,
Speaker 2: and creating movies and creating music that plays on radio stations,
Speaker 2: and creating images to a certain extent, you know, creating
Speaker 2: art for sure.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 1: You want to stop that, you want to see stop
Speaker 1: that is AI?
Speaker 2: That that is AI. That's a fun little thing, though.
Speaker 2: I think that's like kind of fine. What's not fine
Speaker 2: is replacing bands a three piece rock band with AI
Speaker 2: and thinking that's a good substitute, replacing a movie with
Speaker 2: an AI creation and thinking that's that's just as good.
Speaker 2: Replacing artwork, paintings, all these kind of things with something
Speaker 2: that is done by artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not for that.
Speaker 2: I'm not for that side of it, and I can't
Speaker 2: necessarily be for this, even though I think it's all inevitable.
Speaker 1: We're all screwed to.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things called Shift on the internet. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a browser called Shift, drag and drop, build your
Speaker 2: custom browser, and there's free home cleaning and NYC.
Speaker 3: That's what we just saw. That's Shift app dot NYC.
Speaker 3: Then there's shift app dot com, which is an employee
Speaker 3: schedule in software.
Speaker 2: Really so it's basically like they're going in to do
Speaker 2: their shift their works.
Speaker 3: Then there's Shift your phone block distracting apps on iPhone
Speaker 3: and Android. I just think the that they need a
Speaker 3: better name to stand out because you can't even get
Speaker 3: your own dot com because there's so many shifts.
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree, I want to see what people
Speaker 2: have sent in for rate my blank on a Monday
Speaker 2: rate my home screen is the agenda today. Let's look
Speaker 2: at some of these rapid fire sea lane. I see
Speaker 2: you on this person's phone. It's a little bit of
Speaker 2: sea lane here, you're in picture.
Speaker 3: When I saw this much smaller, I thought that it
Speaker 3: was somebody's cat, and then behind them was a giant
Speaker 3: TV with me on it. No, no, no, no, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's their phone. That's a clean home screen if that's there.
Speaker 3: If that's I'm taking this seriously.
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna have a lot of significant others
Speaker 2: and cats, and this home screen is cat related. I
Speaker 2: see that you have the WGN Channel nine app. I'm
Speaker 2: assuming that you are possibly from the Midwest, if that's
Speaker 2: the case, and you have an Android device, so that
Speaker 2: means you're.
Speaker 1: A little weird, a little bit weird.
Speaker 2: But still probably better at technology than a lot of
Speaker 2: people around you.
Speaker 1: Here's somebody else.
Speaker 2: Their home screen shows it's eighty seven degrees outside Wu
Speaker 2: Tang and New York on your home screen here, all right,
Speaker 2: no news junkie app, though the news junk app is
Speaker 2: not in existence on this that's another Android device. Here
Speaker 2: we go The news Junkie app made it on this
Speaker 2: home screen. This person's listening on iheartrate video as well
Speaker 2: on an iPhone I can see, and you got snapchat,
Speaker 2: so I bet that's where the dirty stuff is, that's
Speaker 2: where the good things are. Fiver and you've got no
Speaker 2: real design damn backdrop.
Speaker 3: I wonder we use fiber for that. I could, Actually
Speaker 3: I've never downloaded the Fiver app.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't think I have it because I've used fiber
Speaker 2: for so many projects. Actual human beings there. This is
Speaker 2: somebody with a lighthouse as their their home screen.
Speaker 1: You can see all.
Speaker 2: These in the submitted going minimalistic. Yeah, we didn't make
Speaker 2: the home screen here for these folks. In their app,
Speaker 2: they have chat GPT in the weather bug.
Speaker 1: How do you only have one unread Gmail that? That
Speaker 1: just seems impossible. Does that mean that you don't get
Speaker 1: a lot of emails.
Speaker 2: Or does that mean that you are diligent about staying
Speaker 2: on top of cleaning them. That's gotta be the ladder.
Speaker 2: Here's a little doggie. They got their their pop on
Speaker 2: the home screen a couple of times.
Speaker 1: Many dogs.
Speaker 2: The news Junki app made this person's home screen yeah,
Speaker 2: I can read a lot into you, like this person's
Speaker 2: from Mountain Trace and it's even raining as they sent
Speaker 2: this particular screenshot, send yours for rate my blank and
Speaker 2: look at all of them.
Speaker 1: Oh, this person said this.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming this is your your partner, your wife, could
Speaker 2: be them. I mean, nobody posts a boob shot of
Speaker 2: themselves on their own phone home screen, do they.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Maybe it's possible.
Speaker 2: I think that this person is dating the individual that's
Speaker 2: in their background image with their with their chests displayed
Speaker 2: right over the icons.
Speaker 1: That it would be. My guess some of you.
Speaker 2: I can see that you're like, you're good at technology
Speaker 2: just by looking at your home screens. Look how clean
Speaker 2: this is very clean clean. You got a good looking
Speaker 2: setup going on. We'll take more of these throughout the
Speaker 2: show today. Do it over on thenewsjunkie dot com or
Speaker 2: the news Junkie app. Get a screen sh out of
Speaker 2: your home screen. Tell us what your home screen looks like.
Speaker 2: Here's somebody at Okachilbe where they're sending theirs in. Again,
Speaker 2: we didn't make the homescreen. It feels like one hundred
Speaker 2: and one. Oh my god, they're frying down there. This
Speaker 2: person's listening to real radio. We got Oh, I see
Speaker 2: you and your your partner here on the on the
Speaker 2: home screen.
Speaker 1: It's your wife or you know girlfriend whatever.
Speaker 2: Uh, this isn't really your home screen, is it is
Speaker 2: your home screen?
Speaker 4: Me and the beret from the other day. That's just
Speaker 4: that's so that's a little rude if I'm honest.
Speaker 2: Uh, here's another. There's a lot of couples that have them,
Speaker 2: Like the couple is in the home screen image. There's
Speaker 2: home screen image. Who's on your sea line? Is it
Speaker 2: your wife? Are your rotate kids? I have a rotation
Speaker 2: of pictures that a lot of them are the kid
Speaker 2: and then cities, like uh, pictures of cities. Okay, so
Speaker 2: let's see the baby and the occasional skyline.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: This person has a rocket, like a NASA rocket that
Speaker 2: they have on their home screen. Take a couple of more, person,
Speaker 2: we can tell a little bit about this person with
Speaker 2: the rocket, because go back to the rocket. Person.
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't. They had lovable the app on there?
Speaker 1: Oh did that? Okay, so this is somebody who does
Speaker 1: a little vibe coding. Hell yeah, this is just as.
Speaker 2: We are on the home screen here I see a
Speaker 2: tnj app, the News Junkie app for this person. All right,
Speaker 2: so there you go. You could send those in. We're
Speaker 2: going to pick one of these to be the best.
Speaker 2: Your cat is adorable to this person sending their home
Speaker 2: screen along.
Speaker 1: And the final one for now, this is a.
Speaker 2: Green power range Yes with a dagger and on one
Speaker 2: side YouTube on the other side tnj app.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love all the important things right
Speaker 1: there on the home screen.
Speaker 2: All right, that's round one. We'll get to more of
Speaker 2: those in just a moment when we come back. A
Speaker 2: very awkward moment on television. We got an update on
Speaker 2: the Lady with the pitbulls hookers in Hopetown. Is Joe
Speaker 2: Rogan going to sixty minutes on CBS. We'll get into
Speaker 2: all of it because it's coming up next on The
Speaker 2: News Junkie. A lot to talk about some big changes
Speaker 2: in the media landscape. And now, strangely enough, even though
Speaker 2: you know, on account of The News Junkie being the
Speaker 2: name of the show and all of that good stuff,
Speaker 2: I don't watch a lot of these shows. So when
Speaker 2: somebody talks about what's going on on CNN, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I don't really watch that much CNN. I don't watch
Speaker 2: any Fox News. I do not watch MSNBC. I would
Speaker 2: rather do ms now. I would rather boil my head
Speaker 2: than watch a lot of these cable news outlets because
Speaker 2: it just has become a dumb echo chamber for whatever
Speaker 2: your politics are. Tune in for your hugbox baby, tune
Speaker 2: in so they tell you all the things that you
Speaker 2: think are exactly right, and everybody else is crazy, and
Speaker 2: nobody's ever going to challenge you what I do. That's
Speaker 2: what cable news is, and it is creating an entire
Speaker 2: massive mob of very dumb, very loud, very wrong people.
Speaker 2: I don't watch it. I don't watch it. I do
Speaker 2: watch some stuff, and I do have a modicum of respect,
Speaker 2: meaning a little bit of respect for certain news outlets.
Speaker 2: Still one of them is sixty Minutes. I think sixty
Speaker 2: minutes is still a pretty decent program. Is it partisan, yes?
Speaker 2: Is it in one direction usually politically? Yes, Yes, it's
Speaker 2: going to be. We still have a situation until there's
Speaker 2: a drastic sea change and we'll get somewhere closer to
Speaker 2: the center where most journalists in the United States of
Speaker 2: America are coming from one side. Right, So all of
Speaker 2: this stuff comes out of their mows. All of these
Speaker 2: people that work in these different elements of the media landscape,
Speaker 2: they all vote the same way. They all have the
Speaker 2: same approved opinions that everybody else has. It's boring as hell.
Speaker 2: They have had it forever. So yes, it's gonna come
Speaker 2: from a certain angle. But I think sixty minutes has
Speaker 2: done some good work over the years, and most of it,
Speaker 2: most of it is not political stuff. Most of it
Speaker 2: is stuff outside of the realm of politics that sixty
Speaker 2: minutes gets involved in. Now, the rumor is that they're
Speaker 2: trying to pin down Joe Rogan. Anderson Cooper is gone.
Speaker 2: He has left sixty Minutes and the room, You're already
Speaker 2: gone or is he exited? I I thought he was
Speaker 2: already gone, but maybe he's not. The story says, let
Speaker 2: me pull this up here in front of me so
Speaker 2: I can see if there's any updates to it. This
Speaker 2: says CBS looking to pin down Joe Rogan. Network bosses
Speaker 2: are betting the podcast Powerhouse will strengthen sagging sixty Minutes.
Speaker 2: According to Radar Online, grain of salt this whole thing,
Speaker 2: but it says reeling CBS News is looking to muscle
Speaker 2: up at sixty minutes team. By replacing Silver Fox Anderson
Speaker 2: Cooper with pumped up conservative podcast Powerhouse, Joe Rogan sources
Speaker 2: sem the blockbuster remove first reported in Radar Online dot
Speaker 2: Com is setting off panic and power plays up and
Speaker 2: down the network corridors. They said, this isn't stunt casting.
Speaker 2: Of course it is. It's not stunt casting, they say,
Speaker 2: as they bring in the stunt cast member.
Speaker 1: Of course it is. It's an idea to gin up ratings.
Speaker 1: It's a stunt. It's a stunt the gin up ratings.
Speaker 1: Of course it is, they said. It's strategy.
Speaker 2: Rogan opens up a direct pilot pipeline to the massive
Speaker 2: MAGA audience CBS has struggle to reach for years. Rogan
Speaker 2: fifty eight reportedly BOASA staggering eleven million listeners a day
Speaker 2: in his show that Joe Rogan Experience recently expanded its
Speaker 2: reach by adding the podcast, Apple and other platforms. You
Speaker 2: bring in Rogan, you could get in a core connection
Speaker 2: to fifty percent of the country.
Speaker 1: Somebody said.
Speaker 2: Now, others say it's a risky gamble. He's not traditional
Speaker 2: podcast talent. I love how people use this stuff like
Speaker 2: it's some sort of insult. Is not traditional broadcast talent.
Speaker 2: Or they say it about Spencer Pratt running for mayor
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. Let's say he doesn't have any experience
Speaker 2: as a politician. Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Is that bad?
Speaker 2: Is that supposed to be a bad thing that they
Speaker 2: don't have experience being a politician, or they don't have
Speaker 2: traditional broadcast talent experience.
Speaker 1: Most of the people I know who do.
Speaker 2: This in traditional outlets are bad, terrible at it all.
Speaker 1: Right, But I don't know if this is true or not.
Speaker 1: What do you think? Would you think that this would
Speaker 1: be good for sixty minutes?
Speaker 2: Do you not care? Do you not watch any of
Speaker 2: these shows? Let us know, send a dispatch over the
Speaker 2: news junkie dot com or email tips, tips totthews Junkie
Speaker 2: dot com. I can't remember the last time I have
Speaker 2: watched sixty minutes the one that I watched the most,
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know if you watch this or not.
Speaker 2: Like when people say, well, what do I pay attention to?
Speaker 2: I say, scour the world, look at everything, don't count
Speaker 2: out any source, be skeptical about absolutely everything, skeptical about everything.
Speaker 1: When did this video start? Why did it start here?
Speaker 2: What is this news outlet trying to lead me to
Speaker 2: believe be skeptical of all these things. But personally, I
Speaker 2: love CBS Sunday Mornings.
Speaker 1: I think it is.
Speaker 2: The least partisan news show like that that I've seen.
Speaker 2: I enjoy it, I dig it. I kind of like
Speaker 2: I'm into that of a vibe going is sort of
Speaker 2: laid back and folks see and I'm into it. So
Speaker 2: CBS Sunday Mornings is my thing on some level. Not
Speaker 2: Von Ripperton on YouTube says, Sean is leaving iHeart for
Speaker 2: sixty minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. That's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 2: They're like, what we need to do to reinvigorate sixty
Speaker 2: minutes here at CBS is we need to show.
Speaker 1: The most viral newsroom. Bring them in. He's the guy.
Speaker 2: He's gonna turn it around any ready, sixty minutes, but vertical,
Speaker 2: I don't think. I wouldn't count on that one happening.
Speaker 2: We wouldn't count on xas.
Speaker 3: If CBS gives Joe Rogan the Andy Rooney slot on
Speaker 3: sixty minutes, it would actually revive the grand tradition of
Speaker 3: ending the show with a not even remotely funny segment.
Speaker 2: Oh you know, everybody hates on Andy Rooney. I used
Speaker 2: to get into those. Man, it would be Andy Rooney
Speaker 2: in his office. If you young people won't know what's
Speaker 2: going on here Andy Rooney, they might as well called
Speaker 2: the segment. Andy Rooney complains because sixty minutes with like
Speaker 2: next our in house correspondent, Andy Rooney is going to
Speaker 2: tell you why staplers have gone to hell? And then
Speaker 2: Andy Rooney's like, my stapler in my office has been
Speaker 2: a reliable tool for over forty years. I staple invoices,
Speaker 2: papers and everything I need to staple without any issue.
Speaker 2: But lately this Streamline stapler company has been you know,
Speaker 2: it's just like what Andy Rooney complaining about something in
Speaker 2: his office every time. Man, it was this old dude
Speaker 2: who just complained about mundane thing.
Speaker 1: This is the dumbest thing to correct you about. But
Speaker 1: swim Line is the company.
Speaker 7: The mixed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, streamline is wrong with I streamlined yet Andy
Speaker 2: Rudy Bad. He was the old guy just complained about
Speaker 2: stuff behind his desk. I'm sure that's got to be
Speaker 2: on YouTube somewhere right like it was. Andy Rooney complains
Speaker 2: basically that they would do these segments and he would
Speaker 2: just rant about stuff. Was Andy Rooney the guy that
Speaker 2: would say I like that. I'll give you an example.
Speaker 2: Here's here's here's Andy Rudy angry about sleeping.
Speaker 5: Okay, so I keep reading about the problems people have
Speaker 5: falling asleep and staying asleep nights. An organization called the
Speaker 5: National Sleep Foundation did his study and it says that
Speaker 5: the economy is making people sleepless. I mean, wouldn't they
Speaker 5: just I feel for all those people who aren't sleeping.
Speaker 2: Everybody else on sixty minutes staff had to go out
Speaker 2: for seven months and investigate how some virus is spreading.
Speaker 1: Across the congo or something. And then Andy Rooney's like,
Speaker 1: roll tape. I'm ready, I got the sleeping bit going.
Speaker 1: Wasn't there another journalist who tried heroin, you know.
Speaker 4: Just just and and ran about sleep like this guy
Speaker 4: put his body on the line. He tested out a
Speaker 4: bulletproof vest this week, the new budget bulletproof vest.
Speaker 1: And Andy Rany's like, sleeping is really why?
Speaker 5: Sleeping is not my problem. I can sleep nither day
Speaker 5: sitting standing or lying down.
Speaker 1: I often shots and him sleeping.
Speaker 2: He's like, you faked sleeping, and he's like sitting on
Speaker 2: a couch sleeping.
Speaker 1: Here's Andy Rooney.
Speaker 5: I'm here at this desk. Last week, I took a
Speaker 5: bus Crosstown in New York City and went six blocks
Speaker 5: passed by stop because I fell asleep. Someone took a
Speaker 5: poll several years ago. They're reported on what time Americans
Speaker 5: go to bed every night.
Speaker 1: What this guy our.
Speaker 7: Sleep they get.
Speaker 5: The poll showed that we sleep eight hours a night,
Speaker 5: which was no surprise to me.
Speaker 1: Just I want you to know.
Speaker 2: I just want you to know that Andy Rooney used
Speaker 2: to make millions of dollars doing this.
Speaker 1: I just want you to understand.
Speaker 3: That, as it turns out, and as it turns out,
Speaker 3: he's sleepy enough to miss bus stops because he knotted
Speaker 3: off riding the bus to work.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're all so surprised that the whole guy fell
Speaker 2: asleep on the bus.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, peopall come on.
Speaker 4: So maybe back in this day, I'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 4: out with Rooney, in with Joe Rogan, and I don't
Speaker 4: really know where they're at now.
Speaker 3: Though, to answer the question on YouTube, Andy Rooney is
Speaker 3: in fact that man's name. It's not Sean putting like
Speaker 3: a little twist on things like he likes to do.
Speaker 2: Go to Rooney, you go to Rena Yeah, yeah, yeah, Kelly.
Speaker 2: He says he had such a good sense of humor.
Speaker 2: He was like a nice dude in some way. But
Speaker 2: it was so weird that some people get paid for
Speaker 2: this stuff like this is his gig, this was his
Speaker 2: job on sixty minutes, and they need to do something
Speaker 2: to keep all this stuff alive otherwise it's all going
Speaker 2: to go over to creators on different platforms real quick.
Speaker 2: Before we take a break, and when we come back
Speaker 2: for the break, there's a story that's going around that's
Speaker 2: the most crazy engagement hate bait I've seen in a
Speaker 2: while that I want to explain because too many people
Speaker 2: are getting upset by this and it's just not true.
Speaker 2: I'll talk about that. Plus in jury duty. We're going
Speaker 2: to get into all the prison records from the girl
Speaker 2: from the crash, Mackenzie Shrilla. I'll read to you what
Speaker 2: she's been in trouble for behind bars from the actual
Speaker 2: prison reports. But first Cordy said, did you see this
Speaker 2: clip on the I think it's on the Today Show. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she said, poor Savannah Guthrie is back.
Speaker 1: You know, her mother is probably ripped and horse.
Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie is like trying to muscle through things, and
Speaker 2: they keep putting her in these segments, and they had
Speaker 2: Gwyneth Paltrow with her, and Gwyneth Paltrow is giving like
Speaker 2: food tips in this segment, and Savannah Guthrie is like,
Speaker 2: oh God, I think she'd rather be looking for her
Speaker 2: mother than in some of the segments as she's in.
Speaker 1: Here's one of them. Just a quick clip here, allergen free.
Speaker 11: You can get things soy free, vegan however you want.
Speaker 11: And I'm going to add about a cup of parmesan
Speaker 11: you also if you don't, if you want to avoid dairy,
Speaker 11: one trick that I do is I dice up arugola and.
Speaker 1: I put it in. Really yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 11: It sounds weird, but it kind of adds like a
Speaker 11: nice texture to it.
Speaker 1: Weird.
Speaker 2: You can avoid cheese and you just mix in some
Speaker 2: very fun or rugela and it's like, wait, what you
Speaker 2: that's weird? And thank you. Savannah Guthrie. Even though she's
Speaker 2: distracted by her mom being pulled out of the house
Speaker 2: by this weird midnight bandit, she still knows that trying
Speaker 2: to replace cheese with arugola is a sin. You should
Speaker 2: have to walk the plank for all right, that's absolutely disturbing,
Speaker 2: just disturbing, And Savannah Guthrie knows it so shouts out
Speaker 2: to her. And also, I left, how Gwyneth Paltro look
Speaker 2: at her? Was she eighteen pounds? She's sitting back here
Speaker 2: and she's like, well, if you want to be a
Speaker 2: little bit more careful, you can replace the cheese with
Speaker 2: a rugola.
Speaker 3: You can believe that she's avoiding cheese, but why give
Speaker 3: her the cheese? For God's sake. It's not like when
Speaker 3: you see like a person of her stature. That's like
Speaker 3: loading in Paulladine level butter and going okay, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: you don't ever eat this. Yeah, you might be making
Speaker 3: it on TV right now, but you're not the one
Speaker 3: eating it.
Speaker 1: True, all right, quick break.
Speaker 2: When we come back, I have those prison documents about
Speaker 2: what the girl from the crash, Mackenzie Shrilla.
Speaker 1: If you don't know who she is, I'll explain.
Speaker 2: I'll give you the down low before it's the number
Speaker 2: one documentary series on Netflix right now. I'll tell you
Speaker 2: what's going on with her. And then this story that
Speaker 2: everybody's getting wrong, it's coming up next. Then the news
Speaker 2: junk ye, jury duty all the way in just a moment.
Speaker 2: Let me rant real quick. If you don't mind, I
Speaker 2: won't take long. I won't rant for too long. The
Speaker 2: story is everywhere today, everywhere today. So if I go
Speaker 2: to Google and put in James Vanderbeek, this story is
Speaker 2: absolutely all over the news wires. There are thousands and
Speaker 2: thousands of stories on James Vanderbeek, who you know from
Speaker 2: Dawson's Creek, who sadly died of cancer not too long ago, right,
Speaker 2: And all of the stories that I see are like this.
Speaker 2: One stars X remarries four months after his death, James
Speaker 2: Vanderbeek's ex wife marries three months after his death, and
Speaker 2: on and on it goes. I mean, there are hundreds
Speaker 2: of stories all over the newswires about James Vanderbeek's ex
Speaker 2: wife getting married just three months after he died? How
Speaker 2: could she do this? And I said, wow, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Why are they posting this now? James Vanderbeek died in
Speaker 2: February at forty eight years old. He had stage three
Speaker 2: colorectal cancer.
Speaker 1: That sucks. I feel so much for him and his
Speaker 1: family and all of that good stuff.
Speaker 2: But people judge so fast Avenda Zaus's proof his wife
Speaker 2: is an effing grifter. Yucker says she didn't want to
Speaker 2: wait for her life to be over. You know, people
Speaker 2: are just absolutely hammering this woman.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't believe I'm wrong on this, but let's do
Speaker 2: a little fact check to Rooney if we can't see
Speaker 2: a little fact check here, I believe that James Vanderbeek
Speaker 2: had not been married to this woman for a while.
Speaker 1: No, all right, they weren't married. It was his ex wife.
Speaker 3: Macombe was married to the Dawson's Creek Star from two
Speaker 3: thousand and three to twenty ten.
Speaker 2: She was married to him sixteen years ago. Was when
Speaker 2: they divorced. All right, sixteen years ago they divorced. This
Speaker 2: is what corporate media does. They do things like this.
Speaker 2: They said, oh, stars X remarries four months after death,
Speaker 2: and they know that you're going to get mad star
Speaker 2: James Vanderbeek, his ex wife marries three months after his death.
Speaker 2: What they're doing there is implying his ex wife, meaning
Speaker 2: that they you know, like basically widow is what they're
Speaker 2: trying to get you to think. They're saying, three months
Speaker 2: after he died, she's marrying another man. Yes, but as always,
Speaker 2: they're trying to get you angry by leaving out the details.
Speaker 2: The media landscape is full of stories like this non
Speaker 2: stop that make you mad, and you're mad about nothing.
Speaker 2: They haven't been married. They weren't married for sixteen years.
Speaker 2: She didn't even remarry until after he died, and then
Speaker 2: three months, four months went by. They're like only four
Speaker 2: months after the death. Like there are some cases where
Speaker 2: you could look at this, how long was it ceilint
Speaker 2: after Patton Oswalt's wife died that he ended up getting
Speaker 2: back with somebody.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's married. His wife died. It
Speaker 1: was weird circumstances and stuff.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, it's like Patton Olswald
Speaker 2: in her new relationship. Like, Okay, I get like, it's
Speaker 2: really none of your business, but I get you thinking
Speaker 2: about that a little bit. But this is just made
Speaker 2: to make you angry at this random woman. This random woman,
Speaker 2: you're supposed to get angry. No one's going to read it,
Speaker 2: nobody's going to figure it out. They haven't been married
Speaker 2: in sixteen years. They weren't married when he died, she
Speaker 2: was with somebody else, and then she decided to get
Speaker 2: married after he died. There is literally nothing wrong with
Speaker 2: that nothing. It's not weird, it's not wrong, it's not
Speaker 2: morally repugnant. Zero people would think this, and in fact,
Speaker 2: if they if the headline from the Daily Beast, gross
Speaker 2: Daily Beasts, disgusting Daily Beasts, absolutely shameful, Daily Beasts. James
Speaker 2: Vanderbeek's ex wife marries three months after his death. Now
Speaker 2: let me tell you how this could read, but it
Speaker 2: would get no clicks. James Vanderbeek's former wife, after divorcing
Speaker 2: sixteen years ago, decides to remarry somebody she's been dating
Speaker 2: for a long time, just four months after he passed away.
Speaker 2: No one cares. It's rage bait, as Missy still headlines. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's rage bait. That is exactly what it is. They
Speaker 2: trying to make you mad, and they're leaving out the
Speaker 2: most important information, as they always are. They're no different
Speaker 2: than the person who's clipping a video on social media
Speaker 2: that you watch and then you get mad about it,
Speaker 2: and then you go, why did it start here?
Speaker 1: Why did it end here? What else happened in this
Speaker 1: whole thing?
Speaker 2: The entire media landscape only seems to want to reward
Speaker 2: those people.
Speaker 1: Don't.
Speaker 2: Don't expect more. Come here, you'll get more. Stay here,
Speaker 2: you'll get more. I promise you that you'll get more
Speaker 2: then you'll get from all of these news outlets, And
Speaker 2: this is why people hate them so much, and the
Speaker 2: hate is deserved in so many situations like this. Patton
Speaker 2: Oswalt's wife died in April of twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: He confirmed his engagement to his current wife in July
Speaker 3: of twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: Okay, so over a year, you know. But the thing
Speaker 2: in his case was his wife. I think she was
Speaker 2: like taking some pills or something and he shout her
Speaker 2: dead in bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it says died in her sleep.
Speaker 3: But yeah, a combination of previously undiagnosed heart condition and
Speaker 3: complications from adderall xanax and fentnol.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, so that Look, I can see you're taking
Speaker 2: that a little differently. But this is so so different.
Speaker 2: This is so it's manipulative, as Ryan says, Yes, this
Speaker 2: is manipulative behavior that they do all the time in
Speaker 2: all of these media outlets, and there's almost none of
Speaker 2: them that don't engage in it. So reject them. Hang
Speaker 2: out here you'll figure out what's really going on. So
Speaker 2: there you are. That's that now. I didn't get the
Speaker 2: jury duty, and I'm sorry. I apologize. I do apologize.
Speaker 2: Apologize to me, Apologize to Moses. I apologize to Moses,
Speaker 2: the wit of the Duit law firm. Injured on the go,
Speaker 2: just calm all right, injured on the go, just Calmo.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you sponsored an apology, Moses.
Speaker 2: Mackenzie Sherrilla is that young woman who is in prison
Speaker 2: right now because she crashed a car into a wall
Speaker 2: and killed her boyfriend and his friend. And I said
Speaker 2: when when I watched the Crash, which is tops on
Speaker 2: Netflix right now, I think it's like the number one
Speaker 2: Netflix docuseries right now. It's about her and her relationship
Speaker 2: and her parents. And I told you when watching, I
Speaker 2: was like, her parents may be so angry. Her parents
Speaker 2: were just like they excused every piece of bad behavior
Speaker 2: this girl did. And now she's just a monster of
Speaker 2: a human being because of a lot of the coddling
Speaker 2: that her parents engaged in. She's never wrong, there's always
Speaker 2: somebody else to blame, always somebody else to blame. And
Speaker 2: now we see what kind of person she is because
Speaker 2: I have for you when we come back her prison records.
Speaker 2: She apparently has been in thirty two cases while behind bars.
Speaker 2: She has pled guilty or been found guilty. Oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I apologize. I apologize. Another mistake on my part. She
Speaker 2: has been involved in thirty six cases well behind bars,
Speaker 2: this Mackenzie Shrilla. Thirty two of them she was found guilty,
Speaker 2: not guilty in three and one was not listed. But
Speaker 2: I've looked through these. Some of them are wild. What
Speaker 2: she's up to behind bars. And if you don't know
Speaker 2: who she is, we'll explain everything and I'll read to
Speaker 2: you the prison reports as we enter the Power Hour
Speaker 2: that's coming up next on the news, Chunkie. Lots of
Speaker 2: misinformation floating around in chat, so duck and dive and
Speaker 2: be careful about that.
Speaker 7: What I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I saw somebody posting.
Speaker 2: Trying to say that the there's like a they're bombing
Speaker 2: the Okalla National Forest or something, which I I don't
Speaker 2: know why you would want to put that information out there.
Speaker 1: It's dangerous.
Speaker 3: First of all, it's really kind of irresponsible to say
Speaker 3: it is, and it's like quite obviously it's just not true.
Speaker 3: Well we all know, but these people that would just
Speaker 3: put anything out there and just double triple, quadruple down
Speaker 3: on this stuff. So I hate that that's out there,
Speaker 3: But you know, sometimes that happens from time to time
Speaker 3: when people whisper things like this in chat. I'm requiring
Speaker 3: other people's in chat to step up and tell them,
Speaker 3: enough's enough. We don't want to hear about this, all right,
Speaker 3: we don't want this fake news. Just shout out fake
Speaker 3: news to them, seeling how long have we been doing
Speaker 3: this bit for oh curiosity?
Speaker 1: How long have we How long has the show been on?
Speaker 2: We are we are like fourteen years into this bit,
Speaker 2: and it still works every single time. I used to
Speaker 2: hate it. I used to hate the bit. I'm fine
Speaker 2: with it now.
Speaker 3: I'm fine with it now, But it used to you know,
Speaker 3: it used to get people all riled up, and they
Speaker 3: would call the phones, call the phone line and then
Speaker 3: tell me that we were wrong. And now that I

Speaker 2: Do not believe that people are telling the truth when
Speaker 2: they say this, this is obviously a fake. And then
Speaker 2: people are like it's real and they get so mad,
Speaker 2: they get so unbelievably bad. We've been pretending that that

Speaker 2: Uh uh Literally sometimes I have to spell it out
Speaker 2: because people won't understand what's going on. I get it.
Speaker 2: I know, I've seen this story for a million years.
Speaker 2: But it the troll works every time if you just
Speaker 2: pretend that that particular story is not real, that there
Speaker 2: are no bombs dropping test bombs on the Okawa National
Speaker 2: Forest in the state of Florida, and then you act
Speaker 2: just completely outraged that anybody would suggest this.

Speaker 2: I gotta get to jury duty in the second here.
Speaker 2: But I did see a story today. This is a
Speaker 2: true story, Celan. You got to bring this up for
Speaker 2: me because I've not actually heard it yet. But there's
Speaker 2: a bunch of stories today about people listening to four
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty two hurtz music like, here's an example
Speaker 2: why you're coworker might be listening to music tuned for
Speaker 2: in thirty two herts.
Speaker 1: This is a story from ABC News.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at and it says music recorded in forward
Speaker 2: and thirty two hurts is taking off on social media
Speaker 2: platforms and music streaming services. Joslyn Sanchez there's been in
Speaker 2: chronic pain since she was born with cervical scoliosis. While
Speaker 2: little eases the discomfort, she's found ways to distract herself
Speaker 2: from hurting. She practices yoga, she performs free flow dance,
Speaker 2: and while she works, who frequently listens as to how
Speaker 2: or listens to house music tuned to four and thirty
Speaker 2: two herts, a frequency lower than a typical concert pitch
Speaker 2: music is medicine. Sound is medicine, she says, it's not.
Speaker 2: It helps me focus and be engaged with the patient.
Speaker 2: I'm assisting, it helps me relax. Four hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: two hurts. There's articles like Ziggy Marley and other people
Speaker 2: that are can we hear it? Is it just like
Speaker 2: a tone? Or is it like end the song?
Speaker 1: Could be at it?
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, It's like, Uh, I think they're having
Speaker 2: a tough time explaining this, and it's a sounding like
Speaker 2: I am too.
Speaker 1: But I'll get to the point.
Speaker 3: When you tune an instrument, like last time you were
Speaker 3: at any sort of orchestral concert or some sort of
Speaker 3: Broadway performance theater performance. Before the show, somebody, usually the
Speaker 3: lead violinist or somebody will quiet down the orchestra and
Speaker 3: they will play a note. They will play that note
Speaker 3: of A, and that A is two to four hundred
Speaker 3: and forty hertz, and that's what So everybody they play
Speaker 3: the A, and then everybody tunes to that A so
Speaker 3: that they're all playing, so they're all in.
Speaker 1: Tune with each other.
Speaker 2: In tune, okay, And music recorded at four hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty two hertz just means you tune your A a
Speaker 2: little bit lower, you turn it, you tune it to
Speaker 2: four thirty two instead of four forty, and magic happens
Speaker 2: because it's one with the universe now. But it's supposed
Speaker 2: to make you, like kind of feel better or something,
Speaker 2: saying the thirty two herds, I guess you don't seem
Speaker 2: like a believer.
Speaker 3: Proponents claim this lower frequency is more aligned with the
Speaker 3: natural resonance of the universe, offering deeper relaxation, stress relief,
Speaker 3: and enhanced emotional hearing.
Speaker 1: Let's try it, Let's see if it works. Right. This
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 2: Four hundred and thirty two herds in your ear, drums
Speaker 2: coming out right now?
Speaker 1: I feel nothing? Do you feel anything? Still hungover a
Speaker 1: little bit? Do's not helping? Yeah?
Speaker 2: So you could just take a song and you just
Speaker 2: like kind of kind of tune it up a little bit,
Speaker 2: and then I think it's down four and thirty Yeah,

Speaker 1: Here we go. Let me bring up the prison records
Speaker 1: for this girl.
Speaker 2: One problem is I think she could not be more
Speaker 2: thrilled about this because Mackenzie Sherrilla.
Speaker 1: She is going megaviral.
Speaker 2: Her docuseries about her killing her friends in this car
Speaker 2: crash is exploding on social media. They're playing jailhouse phone
Speaker 2: calls with her talking about how people are flirting with
Speaker 2: her and now these really salacious, steamy jailhouse. They're like
Speaker 2: the cases that she's had behind bars conduct reports. There's
Speaker 2: been thirty six of them total, and in thirty two
Speaker 2: she's pled guilty. Here's Channel three, three.
Speaker 6: Years into her fifteen years to life prison sentence, Mackenzie
Speaker 6: Sharilla's time behind bars has been far from quiet. Newly
Speaker 6: atams the back Girl paint a picture of repeated rule
Speaker 6: violations and trouble with authority.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm so shocked that the young girl whose behavior
Speaker 2: was excused at every opportunity by her parents is still
Speaker 2: acting exactly the same way.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: It's almost as if if you look at these street takeovers,
Speaker 2: you'll see parents who do the exact same thing. They're
Speaker 2: either not presents in the president in their kids' lives,
Speaker 2: or they don't care about them, or they excuse everything
Speaker 2: bad that they do, and you end up with kids
Speaker 2: like this. Don't be surprised by the outcome.
Speaker 6: Hunter Bertram joins us, Now, with a close eye, look
Speaker 6: at what they reveal about Shirrilla's.
Speaker 1: Life behind bars. Hunter Good Evening, Hunter Good Evening.
Speaker 12: Mackenzie, who was convicted of killing Dominic Russo and Davian
Speaker 12: Flanagan and violent twenty twenty two Strongsville crash could be
Speaker 12: eligible for parole as early as twenty thirty seven. But
Speaker 12: when that day comes, the parole board won't just look
Speaker 12: at the crash. It will also look at the choices
Speaker 12: Shrilla has made behind bars.
Speaker 2: All right, so she's gotten in trouble. They show the
Speaker 2: actual documents. Let me bring this up because they have.
Speaker 2: Here's the PDF of all the times that she's gotten
Speaker 2: in trouble. Give me just second sealing, hang on, hang on,
Speaker 2: I got to do a little this and a little this.
Speaker 2: Answer your security questions. I know it's so brutal. It's
Speaker 2: what the stuff that they make you do. I'll just
Speaker 2: do this. I have a workaround, all right. Here's the reports,
Speaker 2: the conduct reports for this Mackenzie Scirilla lady. And there
Speaker 2: are a lot of them, thirty six or so. As
Speaker 2: I said, some of them are kind of simple. On
Speaker 2: the above date, in approximate time of eleven thirty or
Speaker 2: eleven forty pm, inmate Sherrilla was seen in this for
Speaker 2: dayroom talking on her tablet. This is the second incident
Speaker 2: that has occurred while the inmate has been found in
Speaker 2: the day room after wreck has been closed. Inmates Syrilla
Speaker 2: is being charged with five point six being out of place.
Speaker 1: So like in that case, she wasn't supposed to.
Speaker 2: Do this, she did it anyways, and she said inmate statement,
Speaker 2: I just didn't know. I wasn't I wasn't aware, she
Speaker 2: admitted and was found guilty, as she was in thirty
Speaker 2: two of these thirty six cases against her. Here's another one.
Speaker 2: On the above date, I found that Officer Bryce was
Speaker 2: conducting random bed searches. During a search on inmate Shirrilla,
Speaker 2: which is this Mackenzie Shirilla lady, I found two paired
Speaker 2: of altered state pants, a fan with the name and
Speaker 2: number blank crossed out, and Shirilla written on the same
Speaker 2: side in four Newdy magazine.
Speaker 1: Pictures for magazine.
Speaker 2: I guess, so for this, I'll be charging her with
Speaker 2: a twelve point three possession of another ip property and
Speaker 2: a twelve point seven possession of contraband. That's just kind
Speaker 2: of an example of what was going on here. But
Speaker 2: some of them are a little more steamy and a
Speaker 2: little more silacious than these. A lot of them were
Speaker 2: like her, with her shirts on button and her bra
Speaker 2: hanging out over and over again. She is always taking
Speaker 2: her inmate outfits and she's altering them in ways that
Speaker 2: you're not allowed. Again, this is the woman who drove
Speaker 2: her car into the wall and has just been in
Speaker 2: trouble apparently time and time and time again behind bars.
Speaker 2: And then one of them was about her in a
Speaker 2: like a webcam meeting that she had done. That was
Speaker 2: maybe the more silacious of all of these. Oh, she
Speaker 2: had some pills on one. A random bed search was
Speaker 2: conducted on Mackenzie and they found a packet of unknown
Speaker 2: medication with the name of an individual on it. She
Speaker 2: said she was using the meds and they weren't hers,
Speaker 2: and she had a personal photo of herself containing drug use.
Speaker 2: For this reason, she was charged with ten point six
Speaker 2: session of contraband.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Now I got to get to the one where it
Speaker 2: was her on the camera because somebody came in for
Speaker 2: a visit and she started she was messing around with
Speaker 2: the video.
Speaker 1: Visits a lot like Mackenzie.
Speaker 2: Serilla would have somebody on the list for video visits
Speaker 2: and then she would be meeting with somebody else who
Speaker 2: wasn't the person.
Speaker 1: You can't do that.
Speaker 2: You have to meet with the person who's approved in
Speaker 2: the visits. Here's another one. I approached Sherrilla when she
Speaker 2: was in case Manager Jones's office to take her to
Speaker 2: the restroom to see if she was properly dressed. Scherilla
Speaker 2: was previously in mister Rheim's office and he had asked
Speaker 2: for her hoodie as it was altered and considered contraband.
Speaker 2: They said that she couldn't have it because she wasn't
Speaker 2: dressed properly under her hoodie. When I told her I
Speaker 2: was taking her into the restroom to make sure she
Speaker 2: was dressed properly so I could take her hoodie, she said,
Speaker 2: if he got a boner from the way I'm dressed,
Speaker 2: that's his fault. As she got to the door of
Speaker 2: Miss Jones's office, she told Miss Jones to come with
Speaker 2: us to the restroom because she didn't feel comfortable. Again,
Speaker 2: Lots of like interactions like this, lots of her always
Speaker 2: getting into it with somebody. And then the big one
Speaker 2: which I'm coming to here, which is the one where
Speaker 2: she got nude during a video meeting or hearing with
Speaker 2: somebody else like she had a visitor, and it says
Speaker 2: on the above date and time, I was reviewing the
Speaker 2: video visits. I noticed that Mackenzie Sherrilla was not with
Speaker 2: the person she was supposed to be with. I noticed
Speaker 2: at twenty one eight the visitor shows a sex toy.
Speaker 2: This says, and it says. Then at twenty two fifty three,
Speaker 2: the visitor showed her breast. Then on the visit, the
Speaker 2: visitor showed her breast with a sex toy sticking out
Speaker 2: of her pants twice. Then the visitors set up the
Speaker 2: phone and walked into the frame completely undressed. There were
Speaker 2: a total of seven video visits that had taken place
Speaker 2: between Mackenzie Sherilla and this person. So she was constantly
Speaker 2: exposing herself and having like sexual video visits with people
Speaker 2: in and meant it seems in all of these different
Speaker 2: times and things that she got cited.
Speaker 3: For you, if she leaked nudes from prison, that would
Speaker 3: be kind of impressive. Yeah, that doesn't happen much. I
Speaker 3: don't think it goes on and on and on. She's
Speaker 3: done this over and over.
Speaker 2: She's been in charge thirty been in trouble thirty six
Speaker 2: different times, was found guilty in thirty two cases, not
Speaker 2: guilty in three, and in one they did not list
Speaker 2: guilt or not, and all of them. She was like,
Speaker 2: it wasn't me, or I didn't do it, or I'm
Speaker 2: allowed to do whatever I want, you know, just like
Speaker 2: you would expect out of this spoiled, rotten person who
Speaker 2: has never taken any any bit of well, she's never
Speaker 2: taken a responsibility for the things that she's done, including
Speaker 2: killing her friends.
Speaker 1: It would seem.
Speaker 2: And if you haven't seen that docuseries, you probably will
Speaker 2: at some point. It's been pretty popular on the It's
Speaker 2: just one right, Yeah, it's well, you're right, it.
Speaker 1: Is just one, isn't it.
Speaker 2: It's not well, it's just one long one, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a documentary.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean I can see how a different production company
Speaker 3: would have easily tried to stretch that into three or
Speaker 3: four episodes.
Speaker 1: But I'm glad they didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. I don't like when they do that.
Speaker 2: They bring it on too long and too far. But
Speaker 2: she Yeah, she's in the Crash on Netflix. If you
Speaker 2: haven't seen him, Tanya says, y'all are pervs. I didn't
Speaker 2: see what Chat was saying, is are are they doing
Speaker 2: the I Can Fixer thing?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Does she have an only fans
Speaker 2: from prison. Uh, you know all all she's gonna have
Speaker 2: to deal with this when it comes time for her
Speaker 2: to possibly be considered for release.
Speaker 1: She's gonna get in trouble for this. But break when
Speaker 1: we come back.
Speaker 2: Boy, do we have a lot to get to still,
Speaker 2: as the Power Hour rolls on, an update on the
Speaker 2: hookers in Hopetown. More information found that makes the husband
Speaker 2: look like he was up to something.
Speaker 1: What's going down?
Speaker 2: You're gonna find out because that is coming up next
Speaker 2: on the news Junkie. We got a lot to get
Speaker 2: to as we roll along in the Power Hour. Somebody
Speaker 2: says David in Fact on YouTube, what are the suits salaries?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: God, man, that's the place to be.
Speaker 1: Man. I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: I went to New York to interview a long time ago,
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago or something maybe sixteen years ago for
Speaker 2: a job at iHeart to be on in New York City.
Speaker 2: And at the time, a guy named Evan was running
Speaker 2: all of the digital side of the company, and nobody
Speaker 2: knew who this guy was.
Speaker 1: Really he is the person.
Speaker 2: Who had the idea and it was a good one
Speaker 2: to rename the company from first, they were naming the
Speaker 2: app iHeartRadio and then the iHeartRadio thing worked out as
Speaker 2: an app so well that they decided to name the
Speaker 2: whole company after the app rebrand because Clear Channel had
Speaker 2: a lot of baggage with it. Actually, oh yeah, people
Speaker 2: think Clear Channel, and they always think like a bunch
Speaker 2: of dumb things like the nine to eleven do not playlist,
Speaker 2: which is, if you know anything about the company, is
Speaker 2: this really stupid thing for anybody to ever bring up?
Speaker 1: Like, ah, remember Clear Channel band songs after nine to eleven?
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Anyways, I don't need to get lost in that, but
Speaker 2: the point being, I went to this guy's office in
Speaker 2: New York City and he was just running the digital
Speaker 2: side at the company at that point. And Evan's office
Speaker 2: had like four rooms and had a huge like a
Speaker 2: judges chamber. Oh god, yeah, like a judge's chamber, like
Speaker 2: a federal judges chamber, right, like like a member of
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court's chambers, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 2: he had a Florida ceiling window of a view of
Speaker 2: like the Manhattan skyline in his office, like the stuff
Speaker 2: you see out of out of movies. And he had
Speaker 2: like three or four assistants, And I'm like this isn't
Speaker 2: even the CEO. This guy's a suit, but he's just
Speaker 2: like the digital side of the suit. I think at
Speaker 2: that time that guy was just I mean, they all
Speaker 2: have like private jets that they have access to.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just rolling in money.
Speaker 2: They're they're they're in money so far above me that
Speaker 2: you know, I may need may not even get to
Speaker 2: see that at any point in my career, but that
Speaker 2: that's not necessarily what I'm looking for. I'm looking for
Speaker 2: freedom and independence and to be able to do whatever
Speaker 2: we want around here, more so than than anything else.
Speaker 1: In private jets, a little bit, a little bit of private.
Speaker 3: Jet, one round trip ride on the private jet a year, ye,

Speaker 2: But let's talk about your seat. And you went to
Speaker 2: West Palm Beach, I did. I did things go? What
Speaker 2: went down in West Palm for your visit there?
Speaker 1: It was good.
Speaker 3: I took the took the Bright Line down. It was
Speaker 3: my first time riding that train. Super fun experience. I thought,
Speaker 3: uh yeah, we split the Internet on the train.
Speaker 1: It's not bad.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: There were a couple of points where like I had
Speaker 3: the show on for a little bit until I got bored,
Speaker 3: and uh yeah, but it would drop out every now
Speaker 3: and then or something.
Speaker 1: I was a little delayed.
Speaker 3: I felt like when I was trying to screw with
Speaker 3: the screen behind Josh. So you know, I can't have
Speaker 3: those delays. Yeah, yeah, but no, the internet was good.
Speaker 3: I could get some stuff done. I had like company
Speaker 3: required training that I had to do, so I knocked
Speaker 3: some of that out on the way home. And then yeah,
Speaker 3: we just went down to West Palm a couple a
Speaker 3: couple of day Matthews band shows, stayed downtown when you know,
Speaker 3: walked around the farmers Market Saturday, ran.
Speaker 1: Into some listeners while you're down there, I see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I ran into some listeners.
Speaker 3: You know, usually more people stopped me in West Palm,
Speaker 3: but I think, like they go, hey, is that ceiling.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that ceiling.
Speaker 3: Let me check the website, and then they go to
Speaker 3: the news junkie dot com and my picture's not on
Speaker 3: there anymore. So they're like, I don't want to bother him. Reality,
Speaker 3: what we're looking for is a ghost. I ran into
Speaker 3: some listeners down there and some real cool people, and
Speaker 3: then yeah, just kind of hung out. It was like
Speaker 3: it was the first time I had ever ubered to
Speaker 3: and from that venue, the one that's had sixteen different names.
Speaker 3: It's now the I think Financial Amphitheater. Yeah, and the
Speaker 3: ubering their part is pretty painless. Yeah, that whole idea
Speaker 3: is good. Uber needs like a plan for the opposite direction.
Speaker 3: They need some sort of like I think they could
Speaker 3: use this at airports too, but I think for something
Speaker 3: like a concert venue where they have a ride share
Speaker 3: loop like this and everybody's trying to get you know, ubers.
Speaker 3: At this time, there was a lot of people, you know,
Speaker 3: ubering both nights leaving this place.
Speaker 2: But so even though people know that that's a good
Speaker 2: area to pick up people and make a bunch of money.
Speaker 2: There still wasn't enough of them, so it was like
Speaker 2: too slow.
Speaker 1: Oh, there was enough of them.
Speaker 3: The problem is like, you know, they have this crowd
Speaker 3: of people that is just waiting for their uber and
Speaker 3: you know yours might be way down the line somewhere,
Speaker 3: and now you're just waiting around. It would be a
Speaker 3: better situation would be to make some sort of temp
Speaker 3: first come, first serve where there's just a bunch of
Speaker 3: ubers here and you're like, okay, you get the next one.
Speaker 3: You get the next one, and like like you know,
Speaker 3: bump your phones together to activate. Yeah, bump your phones
Speaker 3: together to activate the damn ride. And that's how you
Speaker 3: you know, you know who to charge for where and what.
Speaker 3: But the guy that picked us up Saturday night, I
Speaker 3: could tell I don't think he had picked up from
Speaker 3: the concert venue before, because he kept asking where we were?
Speaker 3: Where are you? We're here? You're going through a loop
Speaker 3: at a concert venue. I mean, this seems pretty obvious.
Speaker 3: And then he wanted us to, you know, walk towards
Speaker 3: the car, and the cops were like, no, everybody, stay
Speaker 3: behind the gate until your uber is here, like right
Speaker 3: here here, not down the line here, because they don't
Speaker 3: want people wandering through vehicles. That makes sense, I think.
Speaker 3: And so my Uber Trevor, got yelled at by the
Speaker 3: cops and I was like, that's against the rules. And
Speaker 3: if you do that, I don't even know if they
Speaker 3: could have force this. If you do this again, you're
Speaker 3: never allowed back here, never allowed back here to pick
Speaker 3: up uber rides.
Speaker 1: That's how it works. Yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 3: We had brunch of Era Bradley's Delicious. I love that place. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a good time. I haven't been there in so long.
Speaker 3: I also, I know we have one of these in Orlando,
Speaker 3: but I've never used it just because of the hours,
Speaker 3: Like I don't. I don't think it's when it's running,
Speaker 3: you know, when I would be using it. They have
Speaker 3: that Circuit app which is like a it's sort of
Speaker 3: like a ride share, but they own a bunch of vehicles.
Speaker 3: They're all electric, and they have some routes that they
Speaker 3: take or you can ask for a specific ride, and
Speaker 3: like it's really cheap, like two bucks, but sometimes you
Speaker 3: have to pick up other people.
Speaker 2: That is that's really cheap compared to an uber from
Speaker 2: a concert.
Speaker 3: So yeah, well no, we didn't do this from a concert.
Speaker 3: This will this only operates downtown, so downtown West boonm
Speaker 3: Beach area. We took the circuit thing, and uh, we
Speaker 3: had just like walked the Farmers Market. We were headed
Speaker 3: back towards actually towards where the train station was, and
Speaker 3: so this guy picks us up and then we have
Speaker 3: to pick up somebody else. So we picked up somebody
Speaker 3: else from the place we just ate at. And he
Speaker 3: looked kind of like a hat a little kid rock
Speaker 3: vibe to him almost. It was definitely not kid rock
Speaker 3: kid rocketing taken the two dollars circuit from bar to bar.
Speaker 2: Well, next time you're there, you'll be able to show
Speaker 2: them the news Junkie dot com and you'll be look
Speaker 2: here it is here because I'm I'm working on the
Speaker 2: photo that includes uh, like at least your arm or
Speaker 2: like cool, yeah, some bit of you. What I think
Speaker 2: is maybe like your arm on my shoulder, you know.
Speaker 2: But and then people will be like, well, there must
Speaker 2: be somebody that's attached.
Speaker 1: To that that's coming soon. We used to take pictures
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, well, you know, I could go on
Speaker 1: for There was a lot of contributing factors.
Speaker 3: It was the first time in a while, like going
Speaker 3: to the concert like that and not having to plan
Speaker 3: on driving home.
Speaker 1: So that's nice. Wide open.
Speaker 2: Somebody sends an email to tips at the Newsjunkie dot Com.
Speaker 2: Ash says you were wrong earlier. Uh oh Ash. Ash says,
Speaker 2: they do, in fact bomb at the o'cala National Forests.
Speaker 2: There's something called the Pinecastle Range complex, and then he
Speaker 2: sends a bunch of links.
Speaker 1: Ash.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ash, this is a thing that people do out there,
Speaker 2: and I think that most of these websites that talk
Speaker 2: about this range and the bombing in the Ocala National
Speaker 2: for US, I think it's part of some sort of hoax.
Speaker 2: They're trying to convince you that people drop bombs in
Speaker 2: the Ocala National for US, but they don't actually do that,
Speaker 2: because that's insane and ridiculous to drop bombs in a
Speaker 2: national for US. So I know that people talk about
Speaker 2: that a lot, but it's not actually true. I appreciate
Speaker 2: the email, though, Ash, the tips at the News Junkie
Speaker 2: dot Com thank.
Speaker 1: You for that. Take long Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2: The hookers in Hopetown update, here's what we have. A
Speaker 2: former federal prosecutor who wrote a book on nobody murder cases,
Speaker 2: and it's no ash body, not like nobody murder, nobody
Speaker 2: cases with nobody, and that are I just feel like
Speaker 2: I'm saying nobody. They've said, a key question in the
Speaker 2: search for the missing American insulting to the dead person.
Speaker 2: That's total nobody body murder.
Speaker 1: They said.
Speaker 2: The key question of the search for the missing American
Speaker 2: woman Lynette Hooker from the Hookers in Hopetown story is
Speaker 2: why her husband's sailboat stopped transmitting location data on the
Speaker 2: night she disappeared. Ryan and Lynette Hooker left the shore
Speaker 2: at Hopetown and the Bahamas around seven point thirty. Brian
Speaker 2: Hooker paddled to shore and arrived in Marsh Harbor at
Speaker 2: about four am. They were headed back to their sailboat,
Speaker 2: the Soulmate, and they said the Automatic Identification System or
Speaker 2: the AIS on the Soulmate did not broadcast any positions
Speaker 2: after nine to twenty nine pm. It did not resume
Speaker 2: until eight forty am the following morning, a blackout of
Speaker 2: more than eleven hours. So it looks like maybe somebody
