Speaker 3: Let's get started. Lit's pen our ears the ground, our
Speaker 3: fingers of the pulse. Let's see what's happening in this great, big,
Speaker 3: wide world of ours. And we go to well, you
Speaker 3: know where we're going. We're having fun with the World
Speaker 3: Cup stuff. Still this time it's not the the Tartan Army.
Speaker 3: It's the Japanese folks. Folks. Indeed, yes, I said it
Speaker 3: like there if this were automobile racing. The Scottish and
Speaker 3: the Japanese are kind of one takes the lead, then
Speaker 3: the other takes the lead, and then they're back and
Speaker 3: forth and back.
Speaker 2: They're both fun. Man, they're fun. They're both having a
Speaker 2: big top. I've been drinking all day. They're like drinking
Speaker 2: some more. This is the best count we ever.
Speaker 3: You know what all that means, he lad, is they
Speaker 3: both know their strengths. Okay, that's what they know. They
Speaker 3: both know their strengths absolutely. And in this case we're
Speaker 3: talking about our friends in Japan. So let's go over
Speaker 3: and see what happened. There was a Japan in Dallas.
Speaker 3: Over in Dallas's a Japan in Dallas. Well, there was
Speaker 3: a japan fan in Dallas. I should just call the
Speaker 3: person just fit a whole Japan right there in Dallas.
Speaker 3: That's how big Dallas is. Everything's bigger in Japan, aren't you. No,
Speaker 3: I shouldn't call him that. You're a Japanese fan, a
Speaker 3: Japanese World Cup fan is in Dallas, Texas. And he's
Speaker 3: talking about how he's out of money, he doesn't have
Speaker 3: any more paid time off or PTO left. Oh god,
Speaker 3: but he's still not willing to miss any games. All right,
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to miss any games. Let's go to
Speaker 3: him to start the show.
Speaker 2: Here we go. I want to look at you sign.
Speaker 2: You're from Tokyo, a lot of money, having money, you
Speaker 2: got any pto? Oh my god pg O. First of all,
Speaker 2: everything's so dramatic. Oh my god, pd O. All that's
Speaker 2: over the top, great dramatic. And and he's got this
Speaker 2: little sign that says money left zero. P t O
Speaker 2: left zero, Japan game, miss zero. You haven't missed any
Speaker 2: Japan games? And so yes, oh guys, oh Japan match.
Speaker 2: What about your memories?
Speaker 1: Memory is infinity.
Speaker 4: It's not you pas pt oh, p t O pto.
Speaker 3: He's chanting p t O out there, so maybe he
Speaker 3: could say a little longer for the World Cup, and
Speaker 3: this guy is just having a good time in America.
Speaker 3: You can do that, apparently, even when you have no PTO. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're able to pull those things off.
Speaker 5: P t O.
Speaker 3: I haven't heard that chanted before, but that's what he is.
Speaker 2: And of course he doesn't want to go back to work.
Speaker 3: This is life now that people have now realized, Hey,
Speaker 3: is it possible that we accelerate the AI takeover? You
Speaker 3: take all of our jobs very quickly, and then you
Speaker 3: just give us all the AI money and we all
Speaker 3: become rich from the robots work until they take us over.
Speaker 3: And if we could just start that right now, that'd
Speaker 3: be great. That's what this guy's saying. It's just gonna
Speaker 3: be a good time. So there they are, the Japanese
Speaker 3: fans out in Dallas for the World Cup, still having fun.
Speaker 3: The Scottish fans, though, we got to give them their
Speaker 3: say as we start out here, and of course I
Speaker 3: am going to get to the absolute horror movie that
Speaker 3: is playing.
Speaker 2: Out in Venezuela.
Speaker 3: For those of you not following, it's very interesting details
Speaker 3: on this coming up in the second segment of the show.
Speaker 3: But let's start off with a little more fun stuff because
Speaker 3: Scotland is still loose in South Florida. They're all over
Speaker 3: the place running one Polka mania running wild out there.
Speaker 3: More than forty million people worldwide claim Scottish ancestry.
Speaker 2: I am among them, Well.
Speaker 3: Not really, I'm French and Irish actually, But forty million
Speaker 3: people out there are Scottish, and many are in South
Speaker 3: Florida right now. I don't know how many, but it
Speaker 3: seems like all of them seem like Scottish. Maybe I
Speaker 3: should refer back to that t mood DNA test. You
Speaker 3: bought me that one time.
Speaker 2: It was a nice gift, Felane.
Speaker 3: It was a nice gift that I gave you to
Speaker 3: tell you your ancestry. And it said, basically, he's.
Speaker 2: Just like a little British British boy. He's an a Or
Speaker 2: were you Swedish? There's a lot of Swedish. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of the Scandinavian, then the Viking kind of blood.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, these folks, they call them the Tartan Army. They're
Speaker 3: out there in force. They formed the Society, the Scottish
Speaker 3: American Society South QUARTERDA back in nineteen eighty three to
Speaker 3: welcome these folks in. In moments like this, they've got
Speaker 3: their pipe band out there, They've got all of that stuff.
Speaker 3: But one of my favorite things is they just can't
Speaker 3: get enough of all of the different fun American things
Speaker 3: that you can do.
Speaker 2: And they're out there.
Speaker 3: It's kind of funny because they think a lot of
Speaker 3: us are cowboys, which is you know, most of us
Speaker 3: just say, you know, if you're watching from Scotland or
Speaker 3: Europe or anywhere out there, most of us are not
Speaker 3: actually cowboys, right, we are not we are we do,
Speaker 3: we are not cowboys. Most we don't have cowboy hats.
Speaker 3: I don't even own a cowboy hat. For God's sake,
Speaker 3: I can't own a cowboy hat. They don't make them
Speaker 3: that big folkus. I've tried.
Speaker 2: I've tried to look for one. I mean, I if
Speaker 2: you own a cowboy hat store, I challenge you to
Speaker 2: find a big enough cowboy hat for me. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: not gonna work for him.
Speaker 3: But for these Scottish folks, they are now play acting
Speaker 3: and LARPing as rednecks, which is even more fun. I mean,
Speaker 3: they come in they're like, what do we do when
Speaker 3: they go, well, we're American, Let's put on some cowboy
Speaker 3: hats and let's go mutting. So they're literally going mudding
Speaker 3: in the United States of America, falling in love with America,
Speaker 3: one mudding truck at a time, four wheeling through.
Speaker 6: The muck of south central Texas.
Speaker 2: They're in Texas here Drew.
Speaker 6: Has invited two couples from Poland and France to his
Speaker 6: thirty acre spread for a two day taste of Texas.
Speaker 3: All right, these particular people trying it out this time
Speaker 3: are from Poland and France, right, but people from all
Speaker 3: over the world have been flooding to things like this,
Speaker 3: and they are out there like play acting, like they
Speaker 3: think Americans play act, which is kind of funny because
Speaker 3: I've never done half the things that they're doing. This
Speaker 3: farmer that invited them out, did you hear his name?
Speaker 2: What's his name? Drew Has Drew Huss, Drew tru has
Speaker 2: he He would never want to be friends with me
Speaker 2: because every time I see him and be like Drew.
Speaker 3: If it was German tourists, then they're like, what's your name?
Speaker 3: Drew has?
Speaker 2: Okay, Drew Han from Rigsteime.
Speaker 7: And get them to experience that wanted to open the
Speaker 7: world up to my home. My soul's been lit on fire.
Speaker 6: Your soul's.
Speaker 2: The CBS news guy is like, sir, I'm sorry, hold on,
Speaker 2: your soul's been lit on fire. Seems so surprised by that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, what's.
Speaker 3: Happening here, which is great, is like this reinvigoration in
Speaker 3: America where people are like, oh, okay, you know, like
Speaker 3: we don't have a beater, Like our country has got
Speaker 3: a lot of cool stuff. Still it's just idiots fighting
Speaker 3: over politics and like stuff you don't like in the
Speaker 3: political world.
Speaker 2: But our stuff is pretty cool, you know, and we
Speaker 2: got some cool stuff.
Speaker 3: And and this guy goes, it's reinvigorated my soul, And
Speaker 3: the CBS guy's like, whoa.
Speaker 7: I want to show them my Texas and get them
Speaker 7: to experience that because I wanted to open the world
Speaker 7: up to my home. My soul's been lit on fire.
Speaker 7: Your soul's been little on fighting, lit on fire.
Speaker 2: Just all these people enjoy themselves. Here is this on
Speaker 2: cowboy stuff.
Speaker 6: David Massour and mark A Bijinska live inside Lesia, southwestern Poland.
Speaker 3: All right, so this is this is very different for them, Right,
Speaker 3: they're from Poland.
Speaker 2: They've come all the way over here, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: we're gonna do line dancing. We're gonna put on our
Speaker 2: cowboy hats, like every American does. They kind of think,
Speaker 2: they kind of think it's a bit like when you
Speaker 2: arrive into Hawaii and they put the lay on you.
Speaker 2: Some of these tourists are thinking, like you get to America,
Speaker 2: they go, well, here's your cowboy hat, partner.
Speaker 3: Here you go, get in your mudd and truck and
Speaker 3: let's do a little bit of this again, just you know,
Speaker 3: to the Polish people, to the French people. I do
Speaker 3: not know how to line dance. I'm an American, right, Okay,
Speaker 3: born in America, raised in America.
Speaker 2: Can you do the ones where they tell you what
Speaker 2: to do? Which one? What do you mean? What one
Speaker 2: hop this time? Yeah? Yeah, I'm not Yeah, I'm a
Speaker 2: compet in your songs that tell you what the dance
Speaker 2: moves are. I don't remember what they are right now,
Speaker 2: but I remember, like if I went to the Lime
Speaker 2: Dancing Bar back in the day, I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's one of the songs that tells you what to do.
Speaker 2: I'm in let's go yeah, Watermellon Crawl right yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: I Copperhead Road Okay, I remember that one too, Yeah,
Speaker 3: so they think we all do this. They think we
Speaker 3: wake up and have breakfast and do this, like we
Speaker 3: have an American breakfast and then we go all there.
Speaker 7: We go, and then you're gonna grab my hand right here.
Speaker 6: Just taught them to dance the two steps.
Speaker 2: I would say, it's all new to us. My dad
Speaker 2: grew up watching like John Wayne Westerns. You want to
Speaker 2: see it for yourself. I was a bit skeptical about it,
Speaker 2: but then I just feel like, yes, some cowboys. Yeah right, okay,
Speaker 2: let me tell you something.
Speaker 3: Polish guy, don't ever don't ever let your imagine they're together.
Speaker 3: Don't ever let your girlfriend or your wife dance with
Speaker 3: some strangely polished cowboy. Yeah, chiseled jaw and like you know,
Speaker 3: a little bit of careers land.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because every movie I've seen doesn't end well when
Speaker 3: the cowboy gets his impression on your lady friend. I
Speaker 3: don't think that's gonna work out here. There are BUCkies,
Speaker 3: of course. This one has ninety eight pumps and ales
Speaker 3: of Americana. It's so funny because it's almost like I'm
Speaker 3: now picturing it, like if you go to Africa and
Speaker 3: you go on like a safari and They're.
Speaker 5: Like, well, you know, here is the lion, mister Watson,
Speaker 5: and over here is the water buffalo.
Speaker 3: And they you know, they're showing you all the cheetah.
Speaker 3: You know, they're showing you all the animals that you
Speaker 3: know from like the the African Safari world.
Speaker 2: In our world, it's like here it here is the
Speaker 2: watermelon crawl.
Speaker 3: You know, here here is like they're giving him. Here's BUCkies.
Speaker 3: It's part of the tour. The World Cup has been
Speaker 3: huge for BUCkies. Freddy went to BUCkies.
Speaker 2: Now these Polish people are going to BUCkies and and
Speaker 2: I think BUCkies is just sitting there going all right,
Speaker 2: let's bring in the money. You know what's funny about
Speaker 2: that sea land. When I think about that, I go
Speaker 2: All I know is the companies that haven't advertised during
Speaker 2: the World Cup. The Colgate company that like they tried
Speaker 2: to get them to remove they're advertising because it was
Speaker 2: on the arena where they're performing. Oh, Gillette that had
Speaker 2: to cover sixty seats Gillette, Yeah, Giletta had to put
Speaker 2: a little marker over sixty one thousand seats in the stadium.
Speaker 2: All I know is the companies that aren't actually advertised.
Speaker 2: Levi's which you can see right through the covering on that,
Speaker 2: like you can almost still see it, say Levi's and
Speaker 2: it's definitely the shape of it. But I just think
Speaker 2: it's so funny that BUCkies has turned into this thing
Speaker 2: because I find BUCkies to be a relatively young company.
Speaker 2: They're not. They're just a little older than myself, and
Speaker 2: they've only really ramped up in the past ten fifteen
Speaker 2: years or so and become this household name. And now
Speaker 2: that the World Cup is back in America, it's turned
Speaker 2: into like a quint essential American thing over now, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: are you're right?
Speaker 3: I mean not to bring too much a stupid history
Speaker 3: into it, but if you go back to my childhood,
Speaker 3: it was pretty similar to I think a lot of
Speaker 3: people who grew up in the southeastern United States. Then
Speaker 3: you had a handful of gas stations that you were
Speaker 3: familiar with. So you had like Shell and Mobile and BP,
Speaker 3: and you know, you had.
Speaker 2: Most of those.
Speaker 3: You might have a couple of little like Local Change Amaco.
Speaker 3: You know Doaamco?
Speaker 2: Is that it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Damn it you. I'm sure they have a song too
Speaker 3: now they're doing. Those two were different. I used to
Speaker 3: get them confused when I was a kid, you would
Speaker 3: go to all of these predictable gas stations that you
Speaker 3: grew up with, and then all of a sudden, there
Speaker 3: was a big breakthrough. The breakthrough started with a couple
Speaker 3: of different places, but one.
Speaker 2: Of them was wah Wah. Right.
Speaker 3: Wah Wah was a regional gas station in the northeast,
Speaker 3: heavily in Pennsylvania, I believe, and it started to spread out.
Speaker 3: And then all of a suddenhuah Wahs were everywhere and
Speaker 3: it changed the gas station experience. And then Bucky started
Speaker 3: spreading out. For what Texas was, I think that's where
Speaker 3: it came from, that started spreading out. But now it's
Speaker 3: like Buckis is just seen as America, at least by
Speaker 3: these World Cup folks for sure.
Speaker 2: Right May began expanding outside of Texas in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: Oh really, that's it.
Speaker 3: From nineteen eighty four to twenty eighteen, Yeah, they were
Speaker 3: only in Texas.
Speaker 2: It was only a thing you could find in Texas. Wow.
Speaker 3: By the way, my African accent was a huge hit
Speaker 3: in chat to say.
Speaker 2: Shouts out to you folks nailed that.
Speaker 3: You know, it's because of my time spent in a
Speaker 3: couple hours on the oldest on the oldest continent there.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's see what else they haveten by a mega
Speaker 2: gas station.
Speaker 7: This is the America that I want to live in.
Speaker 7: This is the America that I know it can be.
Speaker 6: Bucky, America is your own best ambassador.
Speaker 2: We really love this lifestyle. We enjoy every second of it.
Speaker 2: We just want to like soak it in. So funny
Speaker 2: because they're mudding in a truck, the wheels are spinning,
Speaker 2: they're doing all of this stuff, and you go, you
Speaker 2: know what, let's just let them think that's totally what
Speaker 2: we all do. Yeah, that's that's it. That's it.
Speaker 3: And in a way it's right, isn't it because it
Speaker 3: is regionally correct.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it is an American experience. Right.
Speaker 3: If you were a kid growing up in Brooklyn, you're
Speaker 3: gonna have a different American experience. If you were a
Speaker 3: kid growing up in Los Angeles, California, you're gonna have
Speaker 3: a different American experience. Or Miami, Florida. Right, That's that's
Speaker 3: kind of the glory of it all. I think it's
Speaker 3: pretty damn cool to me. So there was Poland in France,
Speaker 3: the Torris having fun at Texas.
Speaker 2: It's very funny to me that the they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: let's bring you over here and go mudding in a truck,
Speaker 2: like one of the simplest pleasures you could offer somebody.
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, there's like a six Flags over Texas, go.
Speaker 3: We have rollercoasters here. We have spent millions, We have
Speaker 3: invested so much money. Please come hang out over here.
Speaker 2: Very talented engineers have put together an experience for you.
Speaker 2: And you are in a pickup truck that looks like
Speaker 2: it's been it's got two hundred thousand miles on it
Speaker 2: at least going through mud. But that's not how it works.
Speaker 3: How it works is what people want to do, and
Speaker 3: that's what they want to have some fun. They want
Speaker 3: to go get that American experience. MFQ says, it's very
Speaker 3: much part of American culture.
Speaker 2: It all is.
Speaker 3: This is my point, like all of it together is.
Speaker 3: And then when they see how much variety there is here,
Speaker 3: these World Cup fans are going, oh, that's cool.
Speaker 2: What the hell? We don't have that much variety where
Speaker 2: we come from, for god's sake.
Speaker 3: A couple of emails real quick, Matthew emails tips at
Speaker 3: the news chunky dot com.
Speaker 2: He says, Sean.
Speaker 3: Florida, Nevada and other tourist states have a rule that
Speaker 3: if a tourist does an arrestable offense, they get arrested
Speaker 3: one hundred percent of the time because they will never
Speaker 3: come back to court. They'll just choose to not visit
Speaker 3: the state again. So they had no choice but to
Speaker 3: arrest the parents on that Florida beach as opposed to
Speaker 3: giving them a ticket just because they're from Texas. This
Speaker 3: happened to me right when I first moved to Florida.
Speaker 3: I had my Colorado license still, all I had was
Speaker 3: a broken marijuana pipe. Why do you why don't you
Speaker 3: just throw it away? That's it, nothing else.
Speaker 2: I was arrested. I've seen people not throw a broken
Speaker 2: marijuana pipes. It really comes off as kind of frashy.
Speaker 3: I was arrested, and they made it clear, and it's
Speaker 3: because I had a Colorado ID or they would have
Speaker 3: given me a ticket.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the email, Matthew.
Speaker 3: I don't know how true or not true that is
Speaker 3: that they just arrested a couple like the couple that
Speaker 3: ditched their baby on the beach that we talked about
Speaker 3: a few days ago, because they're not local residents, and
Speaker 3: they don't think they'll come back.
Speaker 2: I've heard of friends of mine going.
Speaker 3: To other states and getting tickets and stuff, for sure,
Speaker 3: not getting arrest tickets though.
Speaker 2: But getting arrested is different. I mean, you have to
Speaker 2: come back. You'll be held in contempt of court, and
Speaker 2: they don't come rope your ass up and bring you back. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean that's what I would think. But maybe Matthew's right.
Speaker 2: We'll see what people say. Another Matthew says, Sean, watch
Speaker 2: the whole video about those parents walking away from the
Speaker 2: baby on the beach. I think you'll feel less sympathy
Speaker 2: for the parents, although I do agree they shouldn't have
Speaker 2: been arrested because they do seem like straight edged parents
Speaker 2: that made a mistake. But they went all the way
Speaker 2: down the beach, like as far as you could walk
Speaker 2: for thirty minutes and walk back for thirty minutes. They
Speaker 2: definitely abandoned the baby for that hour. They didn't keep
Speaker 2: an eye on it from afar.
Speaker 3: They could have told their beach neighbor, if anything goes wrong,
Speaker 3: will be a half mile that way, but they didn't
Speaker 3: do it, says Matthew. To be clear, Matthew's a strange
Speaker 3: when this happens to me. I think we're absolutely in
Speaker 3: agreement on this, okay, because I don't really have a
Speaker 3: lot of sympathy for the parents. I don't care about
Speaker 3: the parents. I never express sympathy for the parents. I
Speaker 3: have sympathy for the kids. And when you said I
Speaker 3: do agree they shouldn't have been arrested, well, I was
Speaker 3: just saying it would have been better if they weren't
Speaker 3: physically arrested, because that separated them.
Speaker 2: Even more from the kids. Better for the children to
Speaker 2: not further separate them physically arrest them or yeah, who
Speaker 2: do the kids go to DCF? You know, any of
Speaker 2: that stuff. Better for the children for that. But still
Speaker 2: like the alternative, you know, in our minds is not
Speaker 2: let the parents off scott free, like they should see
Speaker 2: some repercussion for this.
Speaker 3: Definitely, Yeah, I don't have any sympthy sympathy for him.
Speaker 3: And in terms of what they did was wrong and
Speaker 3: they should maybe learn a lesson and stuff, I just
Speaker 3: sometimes think we do like a two wrongs make a
Speaker 3: right thing, where I think, you know, two wrongs don't
Speaker 3: make a right. We could have done this so that
Speaker 3: they paid a punishment, but maybe one of them was
Speaker 3: put in jail, not the other ones, so they could
Speaker 3: take care of the kids. That's what I was looking
Speaker 3: for there. Sorry if that didn't get across. Anonymous says Sean,
Speaker 3: I work at a bank. I'm wondering if you can
Speaker 3: do a bill pay with your your current situation, like
Speaker 3: go into online banking, put in the electric company as
Speaker 3: a bill to be paid. Sometimes done electronically, sometimes the
Speaker 3: bill pay system mails a check. Either way, you have
Speaker 3: to have the fun for them to do what the
Speaker 3: electric company may put it through.
Speaker 2: That's a good idea. That's not bad. That's a good idea.
Speaker 3: For I was talking about the spider curse got me
Speaker 3: here in the studio and now I cannot pay my
Speaker 3: power bill unless I paid in person for a year
Speaker 3: long story. Talked about it at the at the beginning
Speaker 3: of the show yesterday, and finally Katie says, Hi, guys,
Speaker 3: Obama and Biden spent three hundred to four hundred million
Speaker 3: dollars on that reflecting pool, and it still looked like
Speaker 3: crap and it's stunk. Trump fixed it in the haters
Speaker 3: vandalize it. Bitch at those people, tell them you want
Speaker 3: your money back. Love to all from Katie, I do
Speaker 3: not know. Can we very very very quickly? Did Obama
Speaker 3: and Biden spend three hundred four hundred million dollars on
Speaker 3: the reflecting pool.
Speaker 2: When who was president in two thousand and nine? Two
Speaker 2: thousand and nine would have been Obama think, but I'm
Speaker 2: not positive. Using funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Speaker 2: Act of two thousand and nine, the National Park Service
Speaker 2: reconstructed the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Thirty point seven to
Speaker 2: four million dollar project began in November twenty ten. Then
Speaker 2: it sounds like they just rebuilt the pool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I went by ten years ago, maybe it
Speaker 3: was still nice.
Speaker 2: It wasn't didn't stand click, she was saying, But all right, there,
Speaker 2: we got a quick break. When we come back, we're
Speaker 2: get into it.
Speaker 3: We got to get into the situation obviously happening in
Speaker 3: Venezuela at some point here.
Speaker 2: I might need a little more time to do that.
Speaker 3: When we come back, it's summer, it's hot, and I
Speaker 3: just heard and this is going viral, so we have
Speaker 3: to address it. The most unhinged advice from a veteran
Speaker 3: area about what we should be doing with our pets
Speaker 3: during the summer is this true. We'll go over and
Speaker 3: it's coming up next in the news. Chunk kye. I
Speaker 3: want to put this out there because it's one of
Speaker 3: those things that makes me feel a little bit crazy.
Speaker 3: And this is a person who says they're an expert. Now,
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you. When I was little, I
Speaker 3: had a lot of respect for experts. But the older
Speaker 3: I get, the more I'm like, this.
Speaker 2: Person is an expert. What the hell is going on here?
Speaker 2: And it's hot.
Speaker 3: We all know that eighty eight degrees As I speaking
Speaker 3: to this microphone right now, many of you are outside
Speaker 3: in the middle of it. And I feel terrible that
Speaker 3: that's the situation you find yourself in in the heat
Speaker 3: of the summer.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 3: They got people over in Europe just melting, melting because
Speaker 3: these idiots won't put air conditioners in their houses. But
Speaker 3: there's a veterinarian who's going megaviral today and he is
Speaker 3: he's legit, Doctor Scott, he says, doctor Scott, the vet
Speaker 3: And he suggests that when it's hot like this, we're
Speaker 3: supposed to be putting sunscreen on our dogs. And I
Speaker 3: have to tell you of all the things that I've
Speaker 3: heard in my life I've never heard anybody say this,
Speaker 3: and it doesn't make any sense to me at all.
Speaker 3: Maybe this is some sort of joke he's trying to
Speaker 3: pull on people. But like when I think about Lady,
Speaker 3: I don't want Lady to get sun cancer, but it
Speaker 3: doesn't seem like a big deal for a dog who's
Speaker 3: got fur all over their bodies.
Speaker 2: Do dogs get skin cancer?
Speaker 3: I've never heard of it, But this guy's trying to
Speaker 3: convince us that we need to do this. A doctor
Speaker 3: Scott is his name here is.
Speaker 8: Animal's pets and skin cancers. Okay, Bubble que have been
Speaker 8: treated by a lovely vet Katie. Unfortunately, Bubble was a
Speaker 8: street cat astray who when she came into the practice,
Speaker 8: Keddy noticed that there was some sort of halofs on
Speaker 8: the tips of the ears.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is a cat that he's talking about, somebody's
Speaker 2: cat that they brought in and they said they noticed
Speaker 2: a little hair loss on the tips of the ears,
Speaker 2: And so I mean, I guess they're I guess they're
Speaker 2: suggesting that you put sunscreen or sunlotion on your cat's
Speaker 2: ears because they're at risk of getting skin cancer. Again,
Speaker 2: this is all new to me, but let's see maybe
Speaker 2: we're convinced.
Speaker 8: Scabbing and some curling of the ears, and actually, with
Speaker 8: a little bit of investigation found her to be suffering
Speaker 8: with square mussel carcinomus.
Speaker 2: That is one of the skin cancers that we see
Speaker 2: in pets.
Speaker 8: The other one is melanoma, which is to be nasty
Speaker 8: disease we can spread to by logans.
Speaker 2: And cause death quite quickly.
Speaker 8: So it's really important that as pet owners we are
Speaker 8: vigilant about changes to the skin, and particular the pigmentation
Speaker 8: of more lightly skinned pale animals or so where they
Speaker 8: have a lot of ball patches or in balled cats
Speaker 8: like a sphinx. You do need to apply sunscreen, now, that's.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, okay, So to stop right this.
Speaker 3: So he's saying you need to apply sunscreen to your pets,
Speaker 3: to your dogs, to your cats.
Speaker 2: Never heard of this in my life. Number one.
Speaker 3: Then he says, a sphinx, Okay, a sphinx is a
Speaker 3: hairless cat. For those of you who don't know, if
Speaker 3: I had a hairless cat, where is it even encountering
Speaker 3: the sun?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What am I doing?
Speaker 3: Am I letting a sphinx hairless cat just wander around
Speaker 3: my neighborhood. That seems like a death wish for the sphinx.
Speaker 3: So I mean, I just maybe it makes some sense.
Speaker 3: And I want to open this up. If you're a
Speaker 3: vet or vet tech or you've heard something like this
Speaker 3: before somebody says he lost all credibility with his haircut,
Speaker 3: don't judge based on the haircut, all right. I have
Speaker 3: never heard of this before in my life. If you
Speaker 3: have a cat, I mean, most cats that we have
Speaker 3: hopefully stay inside of our house or it's a you know,
Speaker 3: an outside cat. And as far as I'm aware, you know,
Speaker 3: animals know. I've seen this a million times in my
Speaker 3: own eyes. Animals know very well how to regulate how
Speaker 3: much sunshine they need. Like they're really good at this.
Speaker 3: You might see your dog in the morning or your
Speaker 3: your cat find a little space where the sun is
Speaker 3: coming in.
Speaker 2: Lexi loves a good little layout. You know, she goes
Speaker 2: right out the doggy door. I'll have let her out,
Speaker 2: and usually she comes back and scratches at the window
Speaker 2: to say, hey, I want back in. I'll be like,
Speaker 2: she hasn't done this, and you know she's been out
Speaker 2: there for a while, and I look out, she's just
Speaker 2: a yeah, get in the sun.
Speaker 3: They love it, right, they do this, they know how
Speaker 3: to regulate this. I don't know if I've ever heard
Speaker 3: of anybody because it's hot outside, going, well, let's let's
Speaker 3: get that suntan.
Speaker 2: Lotion all over my dog. He mentioned, let's see the melanoma,
Speaker 2: dark pigmented tumors or flesh colored growths often found in
Speaker 2: the mouth. Nail beds are on haired skin, even hairskin.
Speaker 2: And this is talking about canine skin. Cans are not cats. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he also mentioned they talk about it here. The
Speaker 2: squamous cell carcinoma, right, that's what he said, Yeah, often
Speaker 2: linked to sun exposure. These appears raised firm water not
Speaker 2: excuse me, not watery warty okay, as in covered in wartz,
Speaker 2: raised firm warty or ulcerated plaques that's disgusting. Commonly found
Speaker 2: in areas with sparse hair, like the belly, nose, and
Speaker 2: ear tips.
Speaker 3: I know that there's areas on any animal where they
Speaker 3: have a little less fur, But I just not ever
Speaker 3: heard of this. And I feel like I'm not some
Speaker 3: crazy hippie, but I feel like I don't know enough
Speaker 3: about what's in all these suntan lotions to know if
Speaker 3: they're good just to be rubbing.
Speaker 2: All over your dog an a bunch of the suntan
Speaker 2: lotions you have. Like, this was not tested on animals,
Speaker 2: but now I'm supposed to do it.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like we cannot test this on animals, but however,
Speaker 3: make sure you lub up your German shepherd.
Speaker 2: Sign is getting checks from big sunscreen. There's no way, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've never heard this before in my life.
Speaker 3: I've not heard this. We need some people to weigh
Speaker 3: in on this. Perhaps you've heard it before, but putting
Speaker 3: sunscreen on your dog or your cat does not make
Speaker 3: any sense to me.
Speaker 2: It seems stupid. This person says, my white dog wears
Speaker 2: a doggy SPF sun shirt. That's fine, that can make
Speaker 2: sense during summer walks. She loves lying in the sun
Speaker 2: by the window of her Freckles have doubled in size,
Speaker 2: and she's had to have some skin removed. I had
Speaker 2: a previous rescue white dog that had skin cancer and
Speaker 2: ultimately died from its bring to her body. Well, that
Speaker 2: that is terrible, and I'm sorry to hear that. I
Speaker 2: think she was saying yes to dogs get skin cancer,
Speaker 2: not yes to sunscreen.
Speaker 3: It's got to be pretty rare though, right, Like, in humans,
Speaker 3: skin cancer is pretty common actually, I mean most people.
Speaker 2: Sure, it's guys who die.
Speaker 3: If you're a man and you die, you're dying with
Speaker 3: prostate cancer. All right, I'm not saying you're dying from
Speaker 3: prostate cancer, but it's very frequent the case that older men,
Speaker 3: when you die, you have some form of prostate cancer.
Speaker 3: Whether it's advanced or not advanced is a different question, right,
Speaker 3: tell this function, call my bonus. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: people who end up dying with that.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: But in humans, skin cancer huge, you know, melanoa huge.
Speaker 3: But in pets this has got to be so rare
Speaker 3: that I can't see that this would make any sense
Speaker 3: to do this, But that's what this vet is saying.
Speaker 2: To do.
Speaker 8: Does need to be specific to pets because many have
Speaker 8: the syncoxide, which is toxic to animals. Would make sure
Speaker 8: that you apply that to the tipsies, to the nose,
Speaker 8: just any areas.
Speaker 1: Which are hairless.
Speaker 8: And as we're moving into the hotter months, just do
Speaker 8: remember about heat stroke, particularly with flat faced dogs. They
Speaker 8: struggle to breathe the best of times, and when they're
Speaker 8: hot even more so so.
Speaker 2: Keeping us and cool what's a cooling mat? Yeah, I mean, look, look, buddy,
Speaker 2: I do all this stuff.
Speaker 3: I make sure when we take Lady out, I put
Speaker 3: my hand on the asphalt to see how hot it's
Speaker 3: going to be on her. Stupid little dog pause. Even
Speaker 3: though I think they're pretty tough. I go out there
Speaker 3: and I'm like, okay, it's hot. We bring a water
Speaker 3: so she can have a water to drink from, not
Speaker 3: even the public water because it made her sick one time.
Speaker 3: I do all of these things where I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 3: this seems like the right thing to do. I'm not
Speaker 3: putting sunscreen on the dog.
Speaker 2: Unless an expert comes at me that's more expert than
Speaker 2: this guy. When you say public water, do you mean
Speaker 2: like when you're walking down like the street in like
Speaker 2: a smaller area, like a neighborhood or something, and some
Speaker 2: shop has a water bowl out. Yes, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Lady did that one time, and I always think that
Speaker 2: seems like the nicest thing for the shop to do,
Speaker 2: Like we're gonna put a water bowl out for the
Speaker 2: dogs and every dog owners like I would never let
Speaker 2: my dog drink out of that water bowl. No no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no no no. I get the feeling. You might be
Speaker 2: right about this.
Speaker 3: I get the feeling that is put out there by
Speaker 3: people who don't have dogs, But they're just like so
Speaker 3: many other things in our society right now. They're they're
Speaker 3: driven by empathy. So they're like, look at all the dogs,
Speaker 3: it's so hot outside. Put the bowl out there. But
Speaker 3: if you have a dog and you use one of
Speaker 3: those public bowls, they can get sick really easy, and
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, your dog's got a massive diarrhea issue.
Speaker 3: You know, like, you don't want that.
Speaker 2: Stuff, but let's toss it out. I can see where
Speaker 2: that dog's been. Yeah, you can't. Let's taws it out
Speaker 2: to the experts here. Maybe I'm completely wrong about this.
Speaker 2: Let us know if there's anything to this. Should we
Speaker 2: be putting sunscreen on our dogs and cats? Let us know.
Speaker 3: Tips at the news Junkie dot com will record your
Speaker 3: dispatch on the website or wrap. Right now, we still
Speaker 3: got the Venezuela story about the earthquakes there. I'm going
Speaker 3: to get into that. It is wild and that's going
Speaker 3: to be a wild ride to go on. I think
Speaker 3: we need a little more space for that. So when
Speaker 3: we come back, we'll get into a story that's getting
Speaker 3: a lot of attention right now. I want to see
Speaker 3: what we have in your mind when I throw this
Speaker 3: one out there. Plus, also there's an update on a
Speaker 3: story we've been talking about, believe it or not, on
Speaker 3: the New York Knicks trash can thing. We've got yet
Speaker 3: another update, So we'll talk about both those before we
Speaker 3: get into the Venezuela thing and your comments and confessions.
Speaker 2: So I'll come it up next on the news Junkie.
Speaker 2: We have oil prices now at a lower price per
Speaker 2: barrel than they were before the war in Iran.
Speaker 3: Started, right, Okay, So oil is now cheaper per barrel
Speaker 3: than it was before the war and Iran. And when
Speaker 3: remember when those the oil prices went up, when the
Speaker 3: oil prices were skyrocketing Sea Lane, the gas prices seemed
Speaker 3: like almost directly connected to them, right.
Speaker 2: And I hate to say that you predicted this, like
Speaker 2: you said, this is gonna go down the same way
Speaker 2: it always goes down. Is when the oil prices go up,
Speaker 2: the gas prices will quickly go up. And when the
Speaker 2: oil prices go down, the gas prices will take their time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: why is that the case? Why is it that it
Speaker 2: works that way when all of a sudden you're sitting
Speaker 2: there watching you go, Okay, oil is going up. Oil
Speaker 2: costs more, you have to refine the oil.
Speaker 3: Seems like it takes a while for this expensive oil
Speaker 3: to get into the pipeline and end up being pumped
Speaker 3: into your car. But well, you know, very quickly those
Speaker 3: prices climb and climb.
Speaker 2: And climb and climb and climb.
Speaker 3: And now we see the oil going down dramatically, and
Speaker 3: it's pretty cheap as compared to what it was when
Speaker 3: the war was raged and Iran, and the price that
Speaker 3: the pump doesn't go down as fast. So that just
Speaker 3: brings you to so many different things that happen. And
Speaker 3: one of the problems that we have behind the scenes
Speaker 3: with inflation in the United States of America is the
Speaker 3: level of corporate greed. Is there a lot of people
Speaker 3: overstate the level of corporate greed. They go after the
Speaker 3: wrong targets when it comes to corporate greed. They always
Speaker 3: tend to go after grocery stores and stuff that they
Speaker 3: get so mad about. Grocery stores have like the lowest
Speaker 3: markup of almost any business you could think of. But
Speaker 3: the truth is, once any business raises their prices. It
Speaker 3: is so easy for them to raise their prices and
Speaker 3: so incredibly different unless there's huge market forces against them
Speaker 3: to get them to lower their prices. However, I mean,
Speaker 3: somebody just said the gas prices are actually going up.
Speaker 3: They've seen the gas prices going up since all of
Speaker 3: this has happened. So I think for a lot of people,
Speaker 3: you go, it just doesn't make a lot of sense
Speaker 3: to me. In twenty twenty four, gas was around three
Speaker 3: dollars and thirty cents a gallon, all right, I mean
Speaker 3: sometime around the last five or six years, I've seen
Speaker 3: it cheaper than that.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the low was.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the lowest average gas price we
Speaker 3: were seeing was, but it was around three bucks, maybe
Speaker 3: a little less than three dollars at some points in time.
Speaker 3: Then it's skyrocketed and I went and filled up on
Speaker 3: gas in my car, I think like three or four
Speaker 3: days ago.
Speaker 2: And it hasn't come down. It has not come down.
Speaker 3: It seems like stuck at that point on your fuel
Speaker 3: level because you never drive. No, my fuel level is
Speaker 3: going down drastically because we're only driving my car right now,
Speaker 3: and in Courtney's car needs to go back into the
Speaker 3: damn dealership once again. But we're we're burning through gas
Speaker 3: and I can see how much it costs every time
Speaker 3: we do it. And then I like, there is no connection.
Speaker 3: It seems to the oil prices when it goes down,
Speaker 3: only when it goes up, right, because we've got a
Speaker 3: profit off the peasants. Maybe Yeah, I mean, I think
Speaker 3: it's pretty crazy to look at this. You're full of crap.
Speaker 3: Oil in January is fifty five dollars now seventy two dollars.
Speaker 3: I'll almost guarantee you you're comparing two different things. I'm
Speaker 3: talking about Brent crude, which is in the low seventies
Speaker 3: right now, which is lower than it was before the
Speaker 3: war in Iran started. All right, that's what I said.
Speaker 3: This is the claim I made, and that's absolutely accurate.
Speaker 3: Gas prices, though, have not followed in that same way.
Speaker 3: And we heard from a guy to gas station once
Speaker 3: to kind of explain the you know, the financial situation
Speaker 3: and how they operated. He did a good job of
Speaker 3: making it seem like it wasn't his faults at the time.
Speaker 2: But you know, maybe they're just good at that and
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, you know, we can't bring it down
Speaker 2: too fast, because it's there's uncertainty. So if we bring
Speaker 2: the prices down too fast, and that's the kind of
Speaker 2: stuff they'll tell you. Well, I don't think it's the
Speaker 2: gas stations themselves. It's probably just whoever's supplying them the gas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in many cases, right, yeah, that's they don't have
Speaker 3: so much control over it. But yeah, Brent Brent oil
Speaker 3: has dropped to below seventy five dollars, the lowest level
Speaker 3: since the day before the US Iran War. Commercial vessels
Speaker 3: and oil tankers preparing to transit through the straight Up Hormus,
Speaker 3: one of the most critical strategic waterways, have been able
Speaker 3: to lower these prices. Oil prices fell another four percent
Speaker 3: on Wednesday alone, about seventy dollars and thirty four cents
Speaker 3: per barrel, after hitting a session low of sixty nine
Speaker 3: dollars and sixty three cents per barrel. It was the
Speaker 3: first time the contract has fallen below seventy dollars since March.
Speaker 2: Second.
Speaker 3: Brent crewed futures also dropped to seventy three dollars to
Speaker 3: seventy four cents.
Speaker 2: So all of this has gone down, down, down, down.
Speaker 3: US President Donald Trump criticized oil companies for not lowering
Speaker 3: gasoline prices. The big oil companies are not dropping their
Speaker 3: price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices
Speaker 3: they're paying for oil. Those prices are dropping like a rock.
Speaker 2: He says.
Speaker 3: He thinks the customers are being gouged. Now, you know,
Speaker 3: I think they are very very very quick. When the
Speaker 3: oil prices go up to increase our gas prices, it
Speaker 3: should be somewhat equal in the dropping of that same
Speaker 3: price that you would see the price of the pump
Speaker 3: on gas drop.
Speaker 2: But we certainly haven't seen that yet. Getting a couple
Speaker 2: of emails, by the way, for those of you who
Speaker 2: have the news Junkie app, if you don't have it,
Speaker 2: get it for Android or iPhone over at the news
Speaker 2: Junkie dot com saying that in the latest update, it's
Speaker 2: made it so when they're listening to the podcast, if
Speaker 2: their screen goes to sleep, it stops the podcast and
Speaker 2: then starts it over.
Speaker 3: That sounds annoying. Sorry about that. I will push out
Speaker 3: an update in the next day or so. That is
Speaker 3: a bad code to read on me. I don't know
Speaker 3: why that happened. It was probably to fix something on
Speaker 3: the Android side that came along with it on the
Speaker 3: iPhone tipe.
Speaker 2: But I will push out a fix for that. Please
Speaker 2: be patient. Anonymous has a confession for us.
Speaker 3: To tips to the newsjunkie dot com soon back around
Speaker 3: twenty eleven. Reminderer best confession gets a prized here today.
Speaker 3: I was twenty nine years old and I decided to
Speaker 3: place my name to be a candidate for an advisory
Speaker 3: board in one of the north central Florida counties. I
Speaker 3: figured there'd be at least four or five of us running,
Speaker 3: and everybody would pick their favorite name. I, however, had
Speaker 3: plans to take slash steal the ballot with my name
Speaker 3: on election day to keep in a scrap book to
Speaker 3: tell the grandkids, Oh yeah, I once ran for office.
Speaker 3: A few weeks before the election, this sample ballot came
Speaker 3: out in the mail.
Speaker 2: My name wasn't on there.
Speaker 3: I took the sample ballot to the next advisory board
Speaker 3: meeting and asked them what was up. The whole board
Speaker 3: looked at each other and said, nobody else ran against me.
Speaker 3: Therefore I automatically won the seat.
Speaker 2: After two years, I moved up to the chairman of
Speaker 2: that board and I served a total of eleven years,
Speaker 2: all stemming from a dumb crime.
Speaker 3: That I thought I could have got away with. I
Speaker 3: would totally love some absolution. But that's on all y'all.
Speaker 3: Love the show, Anonymous.
Speaker 2: Thank you Anonymous. But look at you, know, your little prank,
Speaker 2: your trick to get a little piece of memorabilia to
Speaker 2: show your kids you ran for ended up with you
Speaker 2: offering eleven years of service. So that's absolution of itself.
Speaker 2: That's barely a confession. Yeah, yeah, you didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 2: That's fine, You're fine, You're fine. Did you do a
Speaker 2: good job? Did you take the paycheck and not really
Speaker 2: do anything? That would be you know, something to confess.
Speaker 2: They moved up the chairman of the boards. That must
Speaker 2: be something.
Speaker 3: Let us know your confessions here on the show today
Speaker 3: we offer free absolution as always, tips at the news
Speaker 3: Junkie dot com or send a dispatch at the Newsjunkie
Speaker 3: dot com. Right now, quick break back with more coming
Speaker 3: up next. We've got details about the live show, our
Speaker 3: live show, first one in a long time, coming up
Speaker 3: next Friday. Oh boy, do you want to hear this?
Speaker 2: That's coming up next in the News Junkie. It's been
Speaker 2: a while.
Speaker 3: In the words of stain and it has been it's
Speaker 3: been quite a while Sea and since we've done a
Speaker 3: live show, and our live shows are legendary, there's been
Speaker 3: many of them that have been so wild and out
Speaker 3: of control that people have been over the years built
Speaker 3: up some affinity for enjoying when we do a live show.
Speaker 2: Every community well community too. It's there's there are many
Speaker 2: diseases that only exists in the crowd of people that
Speaker 2: goes to a live show.
Speaker 3: For the news Junkie now, there have not been that
Speaker 3: many live shows in the last couple of years, and
Speaker 3: there are so many weird reasons for that. The biggest
Speaker 3: reason is I don't want to do a lot of
Speaker 3: live shows because I think live shows generally sound like crap.
Speaker 3: I'm just being a real They don't sound good. The
Speaker 3: audio sounds like garbage. The vast majority of our audience
Speaker 3: wants to hear a Crystal Clear show. They want to
Speaker 3: have fun. They want us to get them through their days.
Speaker 3: And that is what my job is, and that's what
Speaker 3: I focus on the audience who listens that way every day,
Speaker 3: focused on content, focused on providing it to you in
Speaker 3: a fun way.
Speaker 2: However, you know.
Speaker 3: Every four months six months whatever. It's kind of fun
Speaker 3: to do a live show, and if you do them
Speaker 3: that infrequently, I think you can make them events where
Speaker 3: it's like, oh my god, you're really gonna want to
Speaker 3: be here for this.
Speaker 2: That's sort of the goal moving forward.
Speaker 3: Now, here's a couple of other things before I tell
Speaker 3: you what's happening with this first live event in a
Speaker 3: very very long time.
Speaker 1: How long?
Speaker 2: How long is the event? Do we know the year? Well? No,
Speaker 2: because we did one for the Bike Drive. That doesn't
Speaker 2: count though. I mean that wasn't like people hanging out
Speaker 2: with us and partying. It's not planned out to be
Speaker 2: the rager, even though you know, people do show up
Speaker 2: to the Bike Drive and get a nice little a
Speaker 2: nice little buzz on. Yeah, there was a fully stocked
Speaker 2: and open eye open like free. But there was a
Speaker 2: fully stocked bar for the patrons of the Bike Drive
Speaker 2: this year, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we are going to bring back the
Speaker 3: old fashioned live wild show. The roast was kind of
Speaker 3: a live event, not really. It was just more of ah,
Speaker 3: that's different. We don't care about quality and a live show.
Speaker 3: I'm not talking to you like I'm one hundred percent
Speaker 3: not talking to you. If you're somebody who has ever
Speaker 3: been to a live show or would go to a
Speaker 3: live show.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking to you.
Speaker 3: I'm talking to the people who will tune in like
Speaker 3: it's a regular show and go, oh, what's this?
Speaker 2: They trust me.
Speaker 3: Most people in the audience want the higher quality broadcast.
Speaker 2: They don't want the live show most days. That's just
Speaker 2: the truth of it all.
Speaker 3: But we've had a couple of things over the years
Speaker 3: that have stopped us from doing some of these live broadcasts.
Speaker 3: The year before that, there was a crazy stalker situation
Speaker 3: going on. It was hilarious for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 3: Not so hilarious for another. I had to have so
Speaker 3: many me with the suits over this stupid stalker situation.
Speaker 3: Seemed like it would never end, and then every time
Speaker 3: it did end, well, then it started right back up again,
Speaker 3: And so we didn't necessarily want to be out doing
Speaker 3: the live show when there was a crazy stalker involved
Speaker 3: in some of the behind the scenes stuff. And that
Speaker 3: was literally i'd talk about how that is dead Lord Willing.
Speaker 3: I don't talk about it much, but that was one
Speaker 3: of the early reasons why for about a year plus
Speaker 3: there wasn't a lot of live shows. There was a
Speaker 3: crazy lunatic stalker and it kept becoming an issue with
Speaker 3: the suits and the company.
Speaker 2: And then there was about a year where we were
Speaker 2: trying to work some stuff in but we had some
Speaker 2: bad blood going on. We did a live show a
Speaker 2: year ago at the Whiskey and I'll get back to
Speaker 2: that in just a moment.
Speaker 5: Moment.
Speaker 2: Here the Whiskey Kitchen and at the Whiskey Kitchen location,
Speaker 2: the management there was great, everybody had a good time,
Speaker 2: but the salesperson who was attached to it was an
Speaker 2: absolute lunatic. And this is a person who is just
Speaker 2: so clueless and so out of their depth and their
Speaker 2: job that it's, you know, it's.
Speaker 3: Unbelievable that they were in the position to begin with.
Speaker 3: And we had set up for this live show. All right,
Speaker 3: Everything that I say right now is my opinion, and
Speaker 3: my opinion only. I'm not trying to put any of
Speaker 3: this on sea line. We had set up for this
Speaker 3: live show. Sea Lane was there I think maybe two
Speaker 3: hours early, maybe longer. Maybe before that. I was there
Speaker 3: over an hour beforehand. We had we have such a
Speaker 3: very limited team that helps us out with these stuff nowadays,
Speaker 3: because iHeart cannot help themselves. They've fired even more people
Speaker 3: in the last forty eight hours. I think we're currently
Speaker 3: in the middle of one of the biggest rounds of
Speaker 3: layoffs again right now. Right now, folks not talking about
Speaker 3: it yet, but we'll talk about it later. We're in
Speaker 3: the middle of another giant r the layoffs, so we
Speaker 3: don't have a huge support staff for this. So Ceiling
Speaker 3: goes out there two hours early. He's sometimes and I
Speaker 3: think he's doing it this time that we're gonna be
Speaker 3: talking about our live event coming.
Speaker 2: Up next Friday. Ceilings stays out there so that he
Speaker 2: can be by the venue because he has to act
Speaker 2: as the engineer. He has a whole setup audio video.
Speaker 2: We just bought our some more cameras and some equipment
Speaker 2: and stuff for this. But we got out there so
Speaker 2: early fans and the salesperson goes, do you think it's
Speaker 2: going to rain or not? And I said, I know,
Speaker 2: it looks like it's going to rain, but I have
Speaker 2: confidence that will be okay. And in the vent of
Speaker 2: an emergency, we can immediately drag this tent over the
Speaker 2: top of the equipment and then we can move everybody
Speaker 2: inside during a break And this bitch wouldn't listen to
Speaker 2: no all right. She was like, Nope, nope, We're going inside.
Speaker 2: We're going inside.
Speaker 3: And it was about ten minutes before the show starts,
Speaker 3: and it took us probably every bit of an hour.
Speaker 3: Seeland and I putting tables of setting up equipment and mixers,
Speaker 3: wiring headphones, Ceelen and I were working on this four let.
Speaker 2: He was working on for well more than an hour.
Speaker 2: I was working on for an hour. We had special
Speaker 2: equipment we bought for and all this stuff, and this
Speaker 2: bitch goes, nope, we have to bring it inside right now.
Speaker 3: And she tried to make a whole issue. So we
Speaker 3: ended up losing I think three segments on the show.
Speaker 3: And afterwards I sent her a I thought professionally worded
Speaker 3: email telling her how unbelievably unprofessional she was, how she
Speaker 3: did her best to ruin the broadcast, and how I'm
Speaker 3: not going to be working with her at any event
Speaker 3: like that moving forward.
Speaker 2: She then took that to management and said that I
Speaker 2: was threatening her and threatening her job. And I said,
Speaker 2: you know what I love about me, I tell the
Speaker 2: truth all the time, So let's bring the emails forward.
Speaker 2: I am only somebody who is going to contact you
Speaker 2: in a way where there's been some sort of like
Speaker 2: record or trace of what I said. Show all the
Speaker 2: emails I got called into the suits offices, They're like,
Speaker 2: did you do this? This is a really big deal.
Speaker 2: And I go, I didn't do any of that, any
Speaker 2: of the almost just said the yes word, you do
Speaker 2: any of that. Wasn't that your second time meeting the
Speaker 2: new boss? It was, yeah, she brings me in and
Speaker 2: I go, I go, this bitch is crazy, respect boss.
Speaker 2: I said, she's out of her mind. I said, this
Speaker 2: person is so unbelievably unqualified for their job. They have
Speaker 2: no idea what they're doing. They want to be an
Speaker 2: event planner, not a salesperson, I guess. And I said,
Speaker 2: they ruined the broadcast, and so I had told them
Speaker 2: that I was not happy with that. Why Because I
Speaker 2: take this seriously, because I put a lot of effort
Speaker 2: into it, a lot of work into it, and I
Speaker 2: want people ruining this kind of stuff when they shouldn't
Speaker 2: have any power over any broadcast that I do ever
Speaker 2: in the history of ever. And I said, I'll never
Speaker 2: work with you again on anything like that.
Speaker 3: That person lasted about four more weeks at the company
Speaker 3: before obviously being fired because they.
Speaker 2: Looked because they lied, because they all one hundred percent
Speaker 2: lied about how the interaction was. And I will stand
Speaker 2: up for myself, and I will stand up for the show,
Speaker 2: and I will stand up for what is right, and
Speaker 2: I will stand up against crazy people. And so after
Speaker 2: that there was a little bit of a hesitation with
Speaker 2: the suits to get back into doing live events. So
Speaker 2: now you know, right, last two years we had stalker
Speaker 2: issue that we didn't really talk about, major stalker issue.
Speaker 3: Then we had a big blowout with the salespeople. Now
Speaker 3: it's time to bring back some live shows. You guys
Speaker 3: demand it, you love it. I love it too.
Speaker 2: It's fun to do.
Speaker 3: So next Friday, July third, we're going to be at
Speaker 3: Whiskey Kitchen.
Speaker 2: It's a great venue. It's in a place called Mount Dora, Florida.
Speaker 2: I know we're in Mount Dora all the time. We're
Speaker 2: going to try to go to some other places, maybe
Speaker 2: another one like around Halloween time or something somewhere we've
Speaker 2: never gone before.
Speaker 3: But it is a beautiful area. I'm in a great
Speaker 3: venue with great food and all that stuff. And we're
Speaker 3: going to be live next Friday, July the third, doing

Speaker 3: That update on the story that I wanted to talk about.
Speaker 3: We'll get geared up for the Hot sheet. Right after
Speaker 3: the Hot Sheet, we have Fritz on the street. All right,
Speaker 3: I still have to do the Venezuela story. I promise
Speaker 3: you I'm going to. It's absolutely crazy. We just have
Speaker 3: to have enough time to work that in. I don't
Speaker 3: know that we have that in the next segment.
Speaker 2: Do we have like twelve minutes in the next segment
Speaker 2: or now we'll see you're go to break it on.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll go right, we take a break. Now we'll
Speaker 2: figure it out. We have a lot on the way
Speaker 2: on a Thursday show.
Speaker 3: It's coming up next on the news chunk Key, I'm
Speaker 3: about to show you some pretty wild stuff. So if
Speaker 3: you want to hop on over to YouTube dot com
Speaker 3: slash the news Junkie, now would be a good time
Speaker 3: to do it. There has been a story in the
Speaker 3: headlines over the past twenty four hours or so that
Speaker 3: to me just keeps grabbing my attention over and over
Speaker 3: and over, and that is there were twin earthquakes, two
Speaker 3: of them within a couple of minutes, I believe, back
Speaker 3: to back in Venezuela. And one was a seven point
Speaker 3: two and one was a seven point five, and they
Speaker 3: went up in intensity.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the order was, but I know
Speaker 2: there was two of them.
Speaker 3: It says the first, oh, here it is the first
Speaker 3: earthquake stuck Moron on Venezuela, It's Caribbean coast at a
Speaker 3: depth of three point six miles. The second quake struck
Speaker 3: seconds later in the same area at a depth of
Speaker 3: six point two miles.
Speaker 2: So it you know, it was really really bad. And
Speaker 2: I want to share a couple of things here.
Speaker 3: Venezuela after these earthquakes was like a horror movie.
Speaker 2: I mean, even during the earthquakes, it was like a
Speaker 2: horror movie. Watch this.
Speaker 3: Here's one of the examples I want to show you here,
Speaker 3: But there's so much more like stuff you're not gonna
Speaker 3: see anywhere else. But this is wild in the real
Speaker 3: life experience of somebody who is in Venezuela when these
Speaker 3: dual earthquakes hit.
Speaker 2: Right here goes this guy's killing himself, all right.
Speaker 3: He's in a high rise here as you can see,
Speaker 3: you know, I let's say ten stories up or something.
Speaker 3: He's up this high rise and he feels the earthquake hitting,
Speaker 3: so he's got to run down. But as he runs
Speaker 3: down the stairwell at this building he's living in, it
Speaker 3: gets worse and worse.
Speaker 2: So here he goes, he's all an ass all right.
Speaker 2: Now you can start to see a little debris, so
Speaker 2: just saying on the walls, Yeah, there's cracks showing in
Speaker 2: the walls.
Speaker 3: The further he gets down the stairwall the worse this gets.
Speaker 3: And that's why it's.
Speaker 2: Really like a horror movie. There's stuffs starting to pile up.
Speaker 2: There we go, it's getting a little worse. He's hauling
Speaker 2: ass down the stairwell, bigger pieces of the wall, I
Speaker 2: mean huge right there. Look this, now that he's getting
Speaker 2: down to like the third or fourth floor. The amount
Speaker 2: of damage from the earthquake in Venezuela is just unbelievable.
Speaker 2: And it just keeps getting worse. Okay, here the building yeah,
Speaker 2: oh god, oh all right, now I don't even know
Speaker 2: if I would feel comfortable at this point. Now the
Speaker 2: walls are completely busted out, the stairwells are completely falling apart,
Speaker 2: and you could see right through the walls like that's
Speaker 2: how much damage was done. Olcohol could barely be true. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now you're climbing over debris just to get down the stairs,
Speaker 2: still trying to get down to the bottom floor.
Speaker 3: How many floors up does this guy live? I mean,
Speaker 3: look at this, And this is also something important to
Speaker 3: note here. It's tough to run down that many flights
Speaker 3: of stairs if you're not in really good shape. So
Speaker 3: this guy's pushing himself all the way through and now
Speaker 3: he's got to jump over.
Speaker 2: All the debris. Wow, dangerous too. I mean, look at it.
Speaker 3: It just it looks like backrooms, the movie back Rooms.
Speaker 3: It looks like that, but with debris everywhere. It just
Speaker 3: gets worse the further in you go. This guy, luckily
Speaker 3: was okay.
Speaker 2: But these buildings were absolutely devastated by this twin earthquake.
Speaker 2: Some of the people inside, you know, you think like,
Speaker 2: all right, where do I want to be? And from
Speaker 2: what I can tell, you're supposed to be outside. You're
Speaker 2: supposed to be in like an open air space as
Speaker 2: best you can. Did you see the baseball game that Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll show you. That was so interesting for those who
Speaker 2: haven't seen this.
Speaker 3: This was inside and this was where these folks were
Speaker 3: just kind of hanging out and they noticed that the
Speaker 3: ground was shaken and that these earthquakes were rolling through.
Speaker 3: In Venezuela. There was one hundred and sixty four people
Speaker 3: at least who died, nine and seventy one or more injured,
Speaker 3: widespread damage.
Speaker 2: Here's what it looked inside.
Speaker 4: It looked like.
Speaker 2: Outside, people are running, power goes out, the roof is
Speaker 2: just caving in. Oh my gosh, yeah, tell me it
Speaker 2: does look like a horror movie. Yeah, nobody knows what
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 3: This guy's on top of somebody trying to cover their
Speaker 3: body with his body.
Speaker 2: We're now seen in both directions, like opposite directions. The
Speaker 2: area is just being covered in dust.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 3: And it's like, which direction are you supposed to run in? Yeah,
Speaker 3: somebody says the cameraman, understanding the assignment. I'm wondering why
Speaker 3: the cameraman didn't just run like Seelan saying, pick a
Speaker 3: direction and just go.
Speaker 2: But you're right, there's no good direction to go in. Right,
Speaker 2: There's there's no place you can actually head here, at
Speaker 2: least not when it's safe. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now this looks like an airport or something. Wow, airport
Speaker 3: nailed it all, right. So there's another example of what
Speaker 3: this looked like. I don't know how these people even thought.
Speaker 2: To film all of this. But buildings run of all
Speaker 2: horizontally vertical. Yeah, you're right, they're all vertical videos. But
Speaker 2: here's another one. Buildings just following some of these older buildings.
Speaker 2: The twin earthquakes doing enough structural damage here, why do
Speaker 2: you go? This guy's still smoking, He's got a cigarette.
Speaker 2: He's not even putting his cigarette out might be his
Speaker 2: last one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he figures right, nine to eleven vibes in some
Speaker 3: of these moments here, I'll put these up on see
Speaker 3: it now for those of you who are listening. Multiple
Speaker 3: buildings completely destroyed, people stuck underneath the debris, as you
Speaker 3: could imagine this all after these twin earthquakes. A couple
Speaker 3: of more examples that I wanted to give you here. Oh,
Speaker 3: this one's kind of interesting. This was some woman in Venezuela.
Speaker 3: She's a gamer, she's streaming herself playing Minecraft Sea Lane,
Speaker 3: and I think her friends that she was streaming with
Speaker 3: didn't necessarily believe her that there was an earthquake going on.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, yeah, an earthquake. Yeah, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: this is for real, like this, this is a real panic.
Speaker 1: Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Speaker 1: woa E quick, I'm not quicking.
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. Hold on, hold on, I'll mute it.
Speaker 2: I'll mean it. Did you dump that? Yeah? Uh? What's
Speaker 2: that particular pass word?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 4: Is that what it is?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't blame her for saying it. I don't
Speaker 2: blame her for saying.
Speaker 3: I don't know all the Spanish curse words, but that
Speaker 3: one was over and over and over again. She did
Speaker 3: say it a bunch of times in a row. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So this oneman here, I'll mute this so we can
Speaker 3: get back to it. She's doing her broadcast and everything
Speaker 3: starts shaking, and I think I could turn it back
Speaker 3: on here because that's just the room.
Speaker 2: That's just the room. I mean, this thing is rocking
Speaker 2: and rolling. I feel like, unless you've been through a
Speaker 2: couple of earthquakes, you don't automatic know that that's what's happening.
Speaker 3: No, I think you don't even know what it's done too.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I don't even know if there's a way
Speaker 3: of knowing. I'm going to ask somebody who's just recently
Speaker 3: been through an earthquake, Sea Lane, how do you know
Speaker 3: when the earthquake's done? Because you just recently went through
Speaker 3: an earthquake, when you're no longer shaking, when you're just
Speaker 3: walking around looking at people, going, hey, was that what
Speaker 3: I think it was? Now, if we were at a
Speaker 3: seven point two, you know, things that have been a
Speaker 3: little different, I presume, I would hope. So over to
Speaker 3: a horizontal video. Finally, you were talking about the baseball one.
Speaker 3: I think it's probably this. There was a baseball game
Speaker 3: going on, not too many people in the stands, thank god.
Speaker 3: Now they're doing their broadcast. Everything seems relatively normal. The
Speaker 3: interesting thing is the camera is shaking first, and you
Speaker 3: could see that the camera is shaking first from the earthquake,
Speaker 3: but the people don't notice that anything's wrong for a
Speaker 3: bit longer. The players in particular, like the players are
Speaker 3: just kind of out there throwing the ball all they're
Speaker 3: they're doing their thing. They're reacting as you would react,
Speaker 3: but they don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: Finally, the ump pauses the game all right, and they
Speaker 2: all rush out to the center of the field. You
Speaker 2: could see the power lines. Yeah, power lines rocking and rolling,
Speaker 2: shaking back and forth. I mean, it would have freaked
Speaker 2: me out. Is that what that is?
Speaker 3: A power line is kind of a loose There's there's
Speaker 3: some sort of power wire or or line just maybe
Speaker 3: it's a save the cable, some sort of line that's moving.
Speaker 2: It's that bad.
Speaker 3: That's how much the earth is moving as these twin
Speaker 3: earthquakes went off. A couple more here and then we'll
Speaker 3: bring it back full circle. But here's another survey of
Speaker 3: sort of the damage done. Is somebody showing that the
Speaker 3: building just completely obliterated, gone, I mean gone, and the
Speaker 3: buildings that aren't gone on just completely gutted.
Speaker 2: And this guy is still up in a building.
Speaker 3: The person who is filming this, this dude is still
Speaker 3: up in the building looking down like, hey, how do
Speaker 3: I get down considering my building is completely ruined right now?
Speaker 3: And it's just like the guy on the stairs. Last
Speaker 3: one is sort of a compilation here again. I'll put
Speaker 3: I'll put this compilation one up on see it now
Speaker 3: so those you can see the visual who aren't watching, but.
Speaker 2: Buildings are crumbling. These people are doing much better job
Speaker 2: at filming. My god, I.
Speaker 3: Mean it's just absolute toe right, like there's nothing. I
Speaker 3: don't even know if you'd be able to recover this building.
Speaker 3: So a lot of them were in these positions throughout Venezuela,
Speaker 3: and thankfully it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Speaker 3: But the numbers were pretty big. Nine hundred and seventy
Speaker 3: one people injured in Venezuela in these twin earthquakes and
Speaker 3: at least one hundred and sixty four dead.
Speaker 2: I'm sure those numbers will go up. If you were
Speaker 2: affected by this, if you've been through an earthquake, if
Speaker 2: you've seen something similar to this, let us know.
Speaker 3: Your experience right now. All right, we're gonna take quick break.
Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll get to the hot sheet.
Speaker 3: We got Fritz on the street, the greatest game at
Speaker 3: all of radio on the horizon just moments from now.
Speaker 3: Got a ton of dispatches and confessions coming in, and
Speaker 3: a whole lot more, and it's coming up next in
Speaker 3: the news Junkie.
Speaker 2: Before the hot sheet very quickly.
Speaker 3: I can't believe they posted this, but they not only
Speaker 3: have an update on the woman who stole that New
Speaker 3: York Knicks celebratory trash can after the parade, she dumped
Speaker 3: all the trash out on the streets in New York
Speaker 3: and then she stole the trash can, which we knew
Speaker 3: was going to happen, even though it' said one hundred
Speaker 3: dollars fine on the side.
Speaker 2: She has been fined. She's gotten multiple fines from the city.
Speaker 2: All right, and New York City Sanitation has posted welcome back,
Speaker 2: we missed you, home, Sweet Home, with the trash can
Speaker 2: having been read the same trash can. That's what they're
Speaker 2: claiming they said she had to return the trash can,
Speaker 2: and the trash can is back, and also that she
Speaker 2: has been fined, so she lost her job at JP Morgan.
Speaker 2: The one hundred dollars fine was for throwing household trash
Speaker 2: or business trash in there, which I think this is
Speaker 2: kind of crazy, but all right, I guess they have
Speaker 2: their reasons. They hit her with some different fines. I
Speaker 2: forgot what they were they were for exactly, but yeah,
Speaker 2: they hit her with a couple of fines and now
Speaker 2: they have the trash can back. To finalize this story
Speaker 2: here and close the book on that lady. She's looking
Speaker 2: for work if you're in the market or have any
Speaker 2: open positions new DEI executive. Yeah, she needs a new gig. Please.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into it. Let's do the hot sheets.
Speaker 1: News, but not like real important news.
Speaker 2: That's again reporting on the planet.
Speaker 1: The top stories from the people on your screens and
Speaker 1: speakers are on the hot sheet with Sea Lane.
Speaker 2: That's right, the top five stories of the nonsense news
Speaker 2: brought to you by that mortgage guy down and it's

Speaker 2: the forbidden season of The Bachelorette featuring Taylor Frankie Paul
Speaker 2: No for real, that's what production sources are telling TMZ
Speaker 2: the current discussion a good move on their part here.
Speaker 2: The current discussion behind the scenes is for the season
Speaker 2: to premiere in mid July. The final plans are not
Speaker 2: yet locked in. They say when ABC pulled the season
Speaker 2: from its schedule, they didn't stop the editors from working
Speaker 2: on the series. They never stopped cutting the episodes together
Speaker 2: or working on them, which was assigned to many that
Speaker 2: the network was keeping the door open to actually air
Speaker 2: this thing and just going, hey, you know, we're going
Speaker 2: to pull it off the airwaves until this whole thing
Speaker 2: blows over and they forget that this lady from the
Speaker 2: Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was terrible to her spouse
Speaker 2: and all that. Taylor and Dakota I don't know what
Speaker 2: his first name is. They have restraining orders against one
Speaker 2: another and have been ordered by a Utah judge to
Speaker 2: hash out their custody dispute, but it looks like roses
Speaker 2: may be handed out for this.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 3: It was about to be a new season of The Bachelorette,
Speaker 3: and then the Bachelorette woman was in this video of
Speaker 3: her going absolutely apess on this guy she was with
Speaker 3: at the time in front of her kid. And then
Speaker 3: they said, we're just gonna can the whole thing, And
Speaker 3: I said, you've already filmed it.
Speaker 2: What are you allergic to? Extra drama? Just a dress
Speaker 2: a dramatic season?
Speaker 3: Ever gonna make it actually dramatic for once, you know,
Speaker 3: over once in the first last five years or so.
Speaker 2: Well, there's another drama going on. And I didn't, wouldn't,
Speaker 2: would never have had this on any Bengo cards because
Speaker 2: there's arguments now over something involving Whitney Houston, which seems
Speaker 2: like it should have been quite a bit of quite
Speaker 2: a deal behind us. But they're saying Oprah gave this
Speaker 2: interview that said she was really trying to help Whitney
Speaker 2: Houston out when she, like Whitney Houston like fell off
Speaker 2: the stage doing the Oprah Show. Yeah, and Oprah pleaded
Speaker 2: with everybody to like don't show anybody pictures. Let's keep
Speaker 2: this on us because Oprah said Whitney Houston was high
Speaker 2: as hell. And Whitney Houston's family is pissed at Oprah
Speaker 2: right now. They said she wasn't high when she fell
Speaker 2: off the stage. She couldn't see the edge of the stage.
Speaker 2: She was coming towards the front. That's why she went down.
Speaker 2: Her former bodyguard said the edge of the stage was
Speaker 2: in a dark spot, and someone tried to call out
Speaker 2: for her to be careful, but no luck. And Whitney
Speaker 2: wasn't embarrassed. She just kind of laughed it off. Ray Watson,
Speaker 2: was Whitney's personal party guard for more than a dozen years,
Speaker 2: said Nope, nope, she wasn't high. That was not the case.
Speaker 2: But and Ray was also the first person to discover
Speaker 2: her body after she passed. Oh god, very very dark.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Whitney's estate is pissed about the narrative Oprah
Speaker 2: is running with and blame the fall on her poorly
Speaker 2: lit stage, which is it said, weird for someone with
Speaker 2: the reputation of Whitney Houston to have the family go No,
Speaker 2: she wasn't high that time. At that time, she wasn't
Speaker 2: I assure you now over in current times. Although this
Speaker 2: this person is a little on the older side, not
Speaker 2: the oldest person performing these days. But Lionel Richie had
Speaker 2: a bit of a rough night and had to cut
Speaker 2: his concert short in Minnesota after falling ill on stage
Speaker 2: in front of a packed crowd. He he got a
Speaker 2: little dizzy and then he did dancing on the ceiling,
Speaker 2: sitting down, and then after a bit he just kind
Speaker 2: of left and they had to famous song to perform.
Speaker 2: This is what he This is what he said about
Speaker 2: after the fact. Was this him?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, what a word about my years beating the business? Wait,
Speaker 4: you are feeling busy?
Speaker 2: Sit harreste? Is he vaping?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 2: I think they gave him a water bottle. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: he did dancing on the ceiling sitting down, and then
Speaker 2: said that was the first time in however many years
Speaker 2: of that song that he did it without doing any
Speaker 2: amount of dancing. It's not the song that you sit
Speaker 2: down for, really, But Lionel Richie ended up having to leave,
Speaker 2: and then later the saxophone player came on stage and
Speaker 2: read a statement saying they would have to postpone, or
Speaker 2: not postpone, just cancel the rest of the concert for
Speaker 2: the night. Speaking of canceled, if you were one of
Speaker 2: the two people who was a fan of Ponies on Peacock,
Speaker 2: they're not getting a season two Ponies, which stood for
Speaker 2: persons of no interest, turned out to live up to
Speaker 2: its name.
Speaker 3: Wow, though nobody was interested in the person. I haven't
Speaker 3: even heard of this damn thing until this moment in time.
Speaker 2: P O, N, I E. S and all caps is
Speaker 2: how it's I think how it said. But yeah, that's
Speaker 2: what it stands for, persons of no interest, and it's
Speaker 2: it's the bold thing to name your show. But in
Speaker 2: this case, at least it turned out to be the
Speaker 2: truth and the streaming taketh away and the streaming giveth

Speaker 11: Yes, I would call it my childhood, like all of
Speaker 11: high school, ninth, tenth, eleven, twelfth grade, I lived in
Speaker 11: a house in Florida, in Orlando that had zero air
Speaker 11: conditioning in it.
Speaker 2: Really, Oh my god, even at that point, that's crazy.
Speaker 11: It was one of these like nineteen sixties, you know,
Speaker 11: Florida houses.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Now, the parents had a window unit in their room
Speaker 11: that they I had a face nice. Yeah, right, it
Speaker 11: puts a lot of character.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody's building character anymore. Nobody's in the business of
Speaker 2: building character.
Speaker 3: I watch what's happening here, and I go there are
Speaker 3: like two things that I get struck by, all right.
Speaker 3: One is I do not and I will never understand
Speaker 3: the weird sort of resistance against getting air conditioners in
Speaker 3: certain places, like in England, they literally won't.
Speaker 2: Get air conditioning. They like they're against it politically.
Speaker 3: In some cases, I've seen some things like Okay, this
Speaker 3: is a story I saw related to this Britons were
Speaker 3: ordered to remove air conditioning from their homes under some
Speaker 3: net zero crackdown they had it, says one Londoner received
Speaker 3: orders to permanently remove two cooling units from the rear
Speaker 3: of their property. They said there's no justification for the
Speaker 3: equipment ruling it breach the authorities cooling hierarchy policy, whatever
Speaker 3: that is. During an appeal to homeowner was advised to
Speaker 3: open windows and balcony doors in their first floor flat
Speaker 3: to achieve ventilation by natural means. So in London, in
Speaker 3: certain areas they're telling them not to have an AC.
Speaker 3: In France, there's a newspaper that was saying why air
Speaker 3: condition being must relay remain a last resort. The use
Speaker 3: of air conditioners is a consensus once all other mitigation
Speaker 3: techniques have been deployed. It's use calls for a change
Speaker 3: in behavior, for more sobriety or whatever, more than a change.
Speaker 2: It's really weird. And then not having an air condition
Speaker 2: wouldn't want me to be sober, would want to be
Speaker 2: Here's the thing that I know, like in only the
Speaker 2: most political of worlds, is an air conditioner a political choice?
Speaker 2: Like to normal people, you're just like, is it hot.
Speaker 2: I would like an air conditioner. That's that's it. That's
Speaker 2: as far as it goes.
Speaker 3: But this says as an intense heat wave sent temperatures
Speaker 3: above forty degrees celsius this week in cities from Bordeaux Nantes,
Speaker 3: far right presidential hopeful Marie La Penn accused leftist parties
Speaker 3: and green activists of ideologically opposing air conditioning at the
Speaker 3: expense of public health. It's absurd to have people die
Speaker 3: because of the heat, said the leader of the Resemblement
Speaker 3: National Party. If I'm elected president, I will put into
Speaker 3: place of massive air conditioning plan, starting in places with
Speaker 3: the most vulnerable populations, hospitals, care homes, in school.
Speaker 2: You don't even have a hospitals. No far left leader
Speaker 2: in rival candidate hit back. Absolutely not installing air conditioning
Speaker 2: everywhere would only mean increasing the damage, he said, alluding
Speaker 2: to the risk of increased carbon emissions.
Speaker 3: Like this seems like a weird, dumb thing to argue over.
Speaker 3: I think, in particular, this should be something that they
Speaker 3: put in place for all old people. Like old people
Speaker 3: are the ones who are at risk here, like Donna
Speaker 3: saying you grow up without air conditioning your house, it
Speaker 3: might make you tougher, you might not be so comfortable,
Speaker 3: but you're probably gonna be fine. If you're younger and
Speaker 3: it's hot outside, go play with your friends, run around
Speaker 3: in the hose or something. But the idea that you're
Speaker 3: like making it a political thing for old people to
Speaker 3: have or to not have air conditioners, I don't understand that.
Speaker 2: I like, I think a lot of us are just
Speaker 2: kind of spoiled.
Speaker 3: And I know there are a lot of places where,
Speaker 3: like I think in the Northeast it's still maybe fifty
Speaker 3: to fifty or something that you would have an air conditioner.
Speaker 3: Maybe more than that, I don't know, but a lot
Speaker 3: of places in the Northeast still don't have AC's because
Speaker 3: there's only a couple of months a year that things
Speaker 3: get that hot.
Speaker 2: But if, like in areas like that where they're so
Speaker 2: like against air conditioning, if you do have one and
Speaker 2: it breaks, I don't think the amount of like AC
Speaker 2: repair people like we have here would be over there,
Speaker 2: because why would you open that business if you're fixing
Speaker 2: something next to nobody has. Yeah, or if you do
Speaker 2: have it, you're gonna be shamed or something. Yes, I
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 11: I like that move they made in France, which was
Speaker 11: another move. They thought, let's say that nobody's allowed to
Speaker 11: drink outside right now because alcohol outside because it's too hot.
Speaker 2: I saw that. Yeah, how does that help? They had said,
Speaker 2: Look at no public events, no gatherings, no nothing, can
Speaker 2: you drink alcohol because somehow that's going to be worse.
Speaker 2: It's uh when it's this hot outside. Hold on, are
Speaker 2: people dying because they're drinking and it's hot, or are
Speaker 2: people dying because they're just hot? I think most of
Speaker 2: the people who die in these situations are old people
Speaker 2: who live in places where there's not proper cooling mechanisms.
Speaker 11: They've had a bunch of people die from drowning Sean
Speaker 11: because people swimming in places where they shouldn't swim. Like
Speaker 11: more than two or three dozen people have died from drowning.
Speaker 2: I didn't even think about that. It's crazy. So they're
Speaker 2: like seeking out something to cool them down, and.
Speaker 11: Like they're jumping into the ocean or somewhere where it's
Speaker 11: not safe or signed off to swim.
Speaker 2: Channel that is that hot outside. I can't swim, but
Speaker 2: f it just jumping into the SAYE are not says
Speaker 2: two hundred thousand people have died in the past four
Speaker 2: years in Europe due to heat. I don't know what
Speaker 2: the exact numbers are.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's correct or not, but I
Speaker 3: know that this is weird, like very political person stuff.
Speaker 3: Most people would never go, well, you know, I can't
Speaker 3: have an air conditioning for my mema because of climate change.
Speaker 3: I think that most people would just go the person
Speaker 3: either needs it or doesn't need it. And you're like,
Speaker 3: you're hobbling yourself in the name of saving people from
Speaker 3: climate change, and in doing that and trying to be
Speaker 3: like sort of I don't know, forward thinking in that way,
Speaker 3: you're watching people actually die in the moment from other things,
Speaker 3: so that I just it doesn't add up to me.
Speaker 3: It doesn't make a lot of sense. But Europe has
Speaker 3: been dealing with this seemingly forever. The southeastern the United States,
Speaker 3: shortly after Don's parents denied him an air conditioner, decided
Speaker 3: to make a turn here and buy acs and they
Speaker 3: started to do more and more of this and building
Speaker 3: of new homes that had places that had air conditioners,
Speaker 3: and we are better off for it. It's a great
Speaker 3: human invention.
Speaker 2: Should we try to do things to help the world
Speaker 2: out and to help the planet and keep the planet nice. Sure, sure, great, great, great,
Speaker 2: But I'm not cutting corners at the air conditioner for
Speaker 2: God's sake. That is that is not where I'm trying
Speaker 2: to do this. Maybe you are.
Speaker 11: You're bringing up some bad memories for me, Sean. My
Speaker 11: parents put it in air conditioning within two months after
Speaker 11: I left to join the army. They said they could
Speaker 11: afford it now that I quit eat more.
Speaker 2: That seems rude. Do you ever have a word with
Speaker 2: them about this at some point in time, don I've
Speaker 2: mentioned it, Yeah, adds up. I'll let us know what
Speaker 2: you think.
Speaker 3: Set us a dispatch over at thenewsjunkieat dot com. He
Speaker 3: will be harboring some of that anger over not having
Speaker 3: AC in his youth when he comes back for the
Speaker 3: next poker tournaments the real radio and those.
Speaker 2: Are selling out quick, those tickets, I think. I think
Speaker 2: this morning they told us like eighty five percent ish.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're making it to the weekend. If
Speaker 2: you want to participate in the poker tournament and hang
Speaker 2: out with Don in the that mortgage guy Don Casino.
Speaker 11: Well, the official title is former Champion that mortgage guy Done.
Speaker 11: I won in twenty nineteen, and then I held the
Speaker 11: title for two more years because they didn't have the
Speaker 11: tournament again because of COVID. So I have the longest
Speaker 11: holding a champ, you know, from twenty nineteen to twenty
Speaker 11: twenty two.
Speaker 2: If my perfect soccer record counts, then your longest title
Speaker 2: holding thing, I think that counts as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I look, I know that you're pretty
Speaker 3: darn good at this poker thing. I don't know that
Speaker 3: I've ever been at your table, and I'm probably better
Speaker 3: off for that. They usually stick me somewhere with, you know,
Speaker 3: like they stick me to the rejects. Honestly, we go
Speaker 3: there like the reject poker table. They go, we don't
Speaker 3: want these guys messing up the hands of the people
Speaker 3: who are actually going to play some good poker. So
Speaker 3: remember that if you're at my table, as you look around,
Speaker 3: you know, you go, okay, that's where yeah, go all
Speaker 3: in right away. I don't have a tell because I
Speaker 3: just don't know what I'm doing. But if you're around
Speaker 3: that mortgage guy, don be a little more careful.
Speaker 2: Well, if you want to play in it, if you
Speaker 2: want to go up against that mortgage guy, don who
Speaker 2: will be a little more challenging than that not mortgage
Speaker 2: Guy shown true that not poker guy either, Real Radio
Speaker 2: dot FM slash Poker. Yeah, thank you so much. Don.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a fun event. It always is. Grab
Speaker 2: those way you can't. Maybe you'll be at Don's table,
Speaker 2: maybe you'll be at sea Land's table, maybe you'll be
Speaker 2: with me and the rest of the misfits. But it's
Speaker 2: a fun time regardless. We appreciate you. There he goes
Speaker 2: that mortgage Thank you, Sean.

Speaker 3: to that mortgage guy Don's radio show, but afterwards you
Speaker 3: can binge all you want. You can learn more about
Speaker 3: getting help with a mortgage, with your with your house.
Speaker 3: It's the first time, second time, third time you've done it.
Speaker 3: You still need to make sure you have an expert
Speaker 3: to bring you along and drag you through it. Do
Speaker 3: not waste money talk. I'm talking tens of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 3: Sometimes people waste because they aren't smart enough to go
Speaker 3: over to a simple website that mortgage guy Don dot com.
Speaker 2: Don, We'll see you next week man, Thank you, Sean,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 3: See le let everybody goes what a good guy and
Speaker 3: an excellent player at both Frits on the Street and poker.
Speaker 3: But we'll leave that aside and when we come back,
Speaker 3: we'll do jury duty. We'll see what's on your mind.
Speaker 3: I got dispatches, we got confessions, we have a lot.
Speaker 3: As Thursday rolls on and it's coming up next on
Speaker 3: the news Junkie, there is a story that I want
Speaker 3: to get to right before Jerry Dude, just because it's
Speaker 3: so crazy. I'll bring this up so you can see
Speaker 3: that it's real. I kind of do this over on
Speaker 3: on the video side of things so people can see
Speaker 3: him not just making up a story.
Speaker 2: But this is a real No, I'm not making Sean
Speaker 2: makes up stories. The truth is real enough, all right,
Speaker 2: it's crazy enough for everybody to be amazed by it.
Speaker 2: But he says he's got a four story house. He
Speaker 2: literally makes up stories. It's not police declare war on
Speaker 2: a hoax that has been spreading throughout Mombasa. Okay, which
Speaker 2: is I believe in Kenya.
Speaker 3: It's in Kenya. There's a hoax that has been causing
Speaker 3: chaos in Kenya. And you could see from this press
Speaker 3: conference here, hold on, will this read the story to us?
Speaker 2: That's very nice. If so, No, it doesn't. It doesn't
Speaker 2: seem to want to work.
Speaker 3: The Mombasa County security and intelligence community has issued a
Speaker 3: stern warning against a growing wave of mob justice.
Speaker 2: What's causing this mob justice?
Speaker 3: Well, it's triggered by false claims of disappearing male Genitalia,
Speaker 3: declaring that anybody involved in assaults or spreading the hoax
Speaker 3: will face prosecution. The committee, which was led by Mohammed Nor,
Speaker 3: said the alarming claims are malicious fabrications orchestrated by organized
Speaker 3: Khan men to exploit public fear, to create confusion, rob
Speaker 3: people and loot businesses. The bizarre scam has sparked widespread
Speaker 3: panic and disrupted business activities in the coastal city. Within
Speaker 3: the last forty eight hours, rowdy mobs incited by the
Speaker 3: false allegations descended on unsuspecting individuals, leaving several people injured.
Speaker 3: So I guess somebody said that there's a problem and
Speaker 3: people's genitals are disappearing, So this is what caused them
Speaker 3: to freak out, says The hoax reportedly began nearby. Similar
Speaker 3: cases were referred to it some different markets and they
Speaker 3: were falsely accused of causing the disappearance of other people's
Speaker 3: genitals through touch. So they said that there is people
Speaker 3: walking through these cities in Kenya, and if the people
Speaker 3: touched you, if they put their hands on you, if
Speaker 3: they brushed up against you, then your genitals would disappear.
Speaker 3: So they would tell the guys like you, your genitals
Speaker 3: will disappear if one of these you, if anybody whoever
Speaker 3: has this, if they touch you, your genitals will disappear.
Speaker 2: It sounds like something your parents tell you to get
Speaker 2: you to abstain from a sexual intercourse, like, hey, you know,
Speaker 2: if if somebody touches it, it goes away. You want
Speaker 2: to keep that thing. That's what they said is that
Speaker 2: if you, uh and so, the people would be in
Speaker 2: these markets and somebody would brush up against them or
Speaker 2: touch them, and they would just start beating people like
Speaker 2: don't touch me, my genitals are going to disappear. Like
Speaker 2: get off me. You're gonna make my genitals disappear. Give
Speaker 2: me some space, make room, all right, And anybody who
Speaker 2: hits anybody else is liable to get punched. And it's
Speaker 2: caused chaos and Kenya because all these dudes actually believe
Speaker 2: it's this is guys, right, I don't think there's a
Speaker 2: woman who's like, oh, no, I'm gonna lose my vagina.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's happening. I think I've just given
Speaker 2: you so many things, haven't I read before? A couple
Speaker 2: of times before the power that one's been locked in,
Speaker 2: you know, pretty much all day. We used to do
Speaker 2: this when I was young. By the way, it used
Speaker 2: to be a thing, but it would be with your nose,
Speaker 2: you know, like you can got your nose. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is like the gotcha nose game, but you like, oh,
Speaker 2: if somebody touches you, you will lose your penis.
Speaker 3: That's what's happening. It's dangerous out there, and Kenya, it's
Speaker 3: a hoax. Don't fall for it. Okay, right now, let's
Speaker 3: do jury duty.
Speaker 1: Court is now in session, so put your phone down
Speaker 1: and pay attention before we call the bailiff over to
Speaker 1: with your ass. You're knowing jury duty with the noose junkie.
Speaker 2: Jury duty brought to you by the one the only
Speaker 2: Modwitt of the DeWit Law Firm. Injured on the go,
Speaker 2: just Calmo eight hundred Camo eight hundred camo. We're going
Speaker 2: to just Callmo dot com. You gotta get the attorney
Speaker 2: that's going to treat you the right way, the attorney
Speaker 2: that's going to focus on you, hear your story out
Speaker 2: and fight hard, fight like hell against those greedy insurance companies,
Speaker 2: these billion dollar insurance companies, so that you, the little guy,
Speaker 2: can get what you deserve for once eight hundred Calmo
Speaker 2: and Andred Callmo or just callmo dot com.
Speaker 3: Just one story, real quick and Jerry Duty, a YouTube
Speaker 3: channel that once featured motorcycles appearing to weave dangerously through
Speaker 3: Central Florida traffic at speeds exceeding one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: miles per hour, maybe coming to an end, and the
Speaker 3: creator is blaming the super speeder law as the reason.
Speaker 3: Dallas Ashley, the great grandson of NASCAR founder Bill Frantz
Speaker 3: Senior and grandson of NASCAR's former CEO Jim Franz, suggested
Speaker 3: that he may discontinue his speed Demon four oh seven
Speaker 3: YouTube channel.
Speaker 2: He said, the super speeder law has ruined this for.
Speaker 3: Him in his channel, it's just a matter of time,
Speaker 3: illegal Dallas, Surely just a matter of time before my
Speaker 3: eyes gets taken to effing jail, he said.
Speaker 2: And he said because of this excessive speeding law. It's
Speaker 2: made it so he cannot get content for his YouTube channel,
Speaker 2: which would feature all the people weaving in and out
Speaker 2: of traffic. This is just like that story about how
Speaker 2: in Oakland the car robberies had been declining, right, and
Speaker 2: then the news station in Oakland, California went out and said,
Speaker 2: can you believe these businesses who replaced the windows of
Speaker 2: the cars that were robbed? Their business is down. This
Speaker 2: is a negative impact of this, buddy. I don't care
Speaker 2: that your YouTube channel doesn't have content because there's a
Speaker 2: super speeder law anymore. I could care less if you're
Speaker 2: not getting one hundred and fifty mile an hour people
Speaker 2: flying on their motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic
Speaker 2: because they're scared. Now, oh no, what did you do
Speaker 2: in life that your grandfather and your great grandfather or
Speaker 2: whatever ran Nascar and you have the speed Demon four
Speaker 2: oh seven YouTube channel Speed Demon four oh seven. Do
Speaker 2: we feel sorry for him? Folks?
Speaker 3: He might have to shut down his YouTube channel because
Speaker 3: of the superspeeder law. Now, we're all benefiting from increased
Speaker 3: safety on the roads, but have you thought about the
Speaker 3: YouTube super speeder guy, if even for a moment back.
Speaker 2: In one of those. In just a second here or
Speaker 2: a moment, whatever, you're the one. We'll be back with
Speaker 2: the Power Hour.
Speaker 3: And I've got all of our confessions lined up, locked,
Speaker 3: loaded and ready to go. Those are coming up next
Speaker 3: on the News Junkie. It's a tough decision, but here
Speaker 3: you are, regardless, hang out with us and learn more
Speaker 3: at thenewsjunkie dot com. Okay, we're gonna get into the
Speaker 3: Power Hour here in a second. I saw yesterday and
Speaker 3: I was talking with Courtney about this a little bit.
Speaker 3: I was like, Uh, how strange is it iHeart with
Speaker 3: another round of layoffs going on now that some of
Speaker 3: the industry outlets are saying is one of the biggest
Speaker 3: ones they've ever done. They do these things where they
Speaker 3: just like list all of the people in every single
Speaker 3: market that's being canned and people who are being replaced,
Speaker 3: and oh god, it's just like an ongoing massive list.
Speaker 3: I guess in this latest round of iHeart layoffs that's
Speaker 3: happening today happened yesterday as well. I Mean, I hate
Speaker 3: to say this, but I think there was legitimately somebody
Speaker 3: who was at the event we went to where we
Speaker 3: told you that they asked you what you would do
Speaker 3: if you weren't in radio, And I think that person
Speaker 3: is no longer in radio, you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean, Like they're like, hey, what would you
Speaker 2: do if you weren't in radio, and be like, I
Speaker 2: would do this.
Speaker 3: And now I think that person is getting to explore
Speaker 3: that I think that that person has been eliminated from
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 7: That is.
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio employment here on the show.
Speaker 3: So I want to say that to say this, there
Speaker 3: is no better way to support this show, no better
Speaker 3: way possible in the world than to make a move
Speaker 3: and go over to be a premium subscriber on the
Speaker 3: Neewsjunkie dot com and unlock secret shows all right. It
Speaker 3: is a huge, huge way to support us and what
Speaker 3: we're doing here every day. And it is a way
Speaker 3: to bulletproof this show from the suits and anything that
Speaker 3: could possibly happen moving forward. You never know what's going
Speaker 3: to happen in this industry. You never know what's going
Speaker 3: to happen with this company is just constantly this kind
Speaker 3: of nonsense. The Suit's just their favorite thing to do
Speaker 3: is fire people.
Speaker 2: That's what they do.
Speaker 3: That's what they get off on the exit ramp for
Speaker 3: this is to make the show bulletproof and to get
Speaker 3: as many people who say, you know what I don't
Speaker 3: care about the connection to these particular stations is as
Speaker 3: much as I care about my connection to the show,

Speaker 3: We have people who have been so so generous like
Speaker 3: Sun say John earlier with forty one gifted subscriptions. That
Speaker 3: is what helps because eventually that makes it so you

Speaker 3: need any kind of signals and stations and anywhere on
Speaker 3: the dial. We could be everywhere. We can keep going
Speaker 3: no matter what happens around here. So if you want
Speaker 3: to throw some support that way, do that over at

Speaker 5: Then they said, here is the lion, mister Watson, and
Speaker 5: over here is the water Buffalo, the cheetah.
Speaker 1: Time for the Power Hour on the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: Nonsense. Give me like a can you find a copyright
Speaker 2: free like jungle sound? I want like some some sort
Speaker 2: of like the music that you might hear on a
Speaker 2: safari right, like a safari type song that you might hear,
Speaker 2: because you're not giving me enough of the soundscape to
Speaker 2: make it real, because it did sound like an African dude,
Speaker 2: I think, okay, all right, let's see does this sound
Speaker 2: like a perfect now?
Speaker 12: And let me just find that clip of you again,
Speaker 12: because I take that clip because if I think, if
Speaker 12: we combine the clip with the sort of soundscaping bringing
Speaker 12: people to the beautiful African reserve where I was trying
Speaker 12: to transport myself I think that people will go, oh yeah,
Speaker 12: that does sound like an African Safari tour guide.
Speaker 2: I think so. I think we could make that happen.
Speaker 3: I got I'm finding all right, get that, get that done,
Speaker 3: make that happen on your end, and then we'll see.
Speaker 2: Okay. Uh. CF says it's getting old. He sounds like
Speaker 2: he hates his job. You have talent, do your own thing, man,
Speaker 2: mod's banned. CF.
Speaker 3: That is that that kind of stuff is annoying, It's
Speaker 3: not helpful. You're obnoxious. You're trying to get my attention. Congratulations,
Speaker 3: you just got it for five seconds.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Whoever's over there ban CF forty five is constantly trying
Speaker 3: to do this, constantly trying to get a little attention
Speaker 3: from this.
Speaker 2: What I'm telling you is what my plans.
Speaker 1: Are on this show.
Speaker 3: I've been so unbelievably forthcoming with all of this in
Speaker 3: a way I probably shouldn't be necessarily. I've said that
Speaker 3: I have signed a deal with this company to ride
Speaker 3: it out, get in front of as many people as possible,
Speaker 3: and try to build the foundation for what is next
Speaker 3: after this. You sang like, oh my god, I'm over
Speaker 3: You're obnoxious, You're getting old. I want you to be
Speaker 3: out of the audience. Gone, please leave bye. I don't
Speaker 3: want you to be here anymore. I don't need you,
Speaker 3: I don't care about you. Go goodbye, see you later,
Speaker 3: bye guy, Yes bye, thank you bye. Okay, now now,
Speaker 3: and just just for the record, you can go to
Speaker 3: the website right now and cross reference all of the
Speaker 3: things that I'm saying, all the things that we're going
Speaker 3: to be doing.
Speaker 2: And also support the show by doing everything I said.
Speaker 2: Don't let these annoying people bother you. NAT's all right,
Speaker 2: now here we go. Well, I I want to bring
Speaker 2: you back to Africa. And then now my impersonation I
Speaker 2: think will ring threat.
Speaker 5: Okay, right here is the lion, mister Watson, and over
Speaker 5: here is the water buffalo, the cheetah.
Speaker 2: That's good. Are you gonna tell me that doesn't sound
Speaker 2: like an actual African safari guide right there? A little
Speaker 2: bit one hundred percent water buffalo sounded like it was
Speaker 2: kind of edging towards something different, But sure.
Speaker 3: Guy, know that was legitimately an African Safari guy.
Speaker 2: And over here is the water buffalo, the cheetah. That's good.
Speaker 3: I think it's good. I think people are gonna turn
Speaker 3: the corner. On this one, they were saying it sounded
Speaker 3: Asian before the water buffalo part sounded Atlasian.
Speaker 2: It definitely sounded Asian. I don't know I said it
Speaker 2: that way, but it did make it more legit. Cheetah,
Speaker 2: did you do there? You go?
Speaker 10: All right?
Speaker 3: I want to get to a couple of your emails here,
Speaker 3: because we haven't worked in enough of them. Here is
Speaker 3: some some anonymous confessions like this one. I said, best
Speaker 3: confession today. We'll get a prize. This person says, I
Speaker 3: have a serious problem. I would like to remain anonymous.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I have a serious problem with my wife.
Speaker 2: It's so bad I think I'm gonna divorce her. She
Speaker 2: watches TV as she's on her phone scrolling, which is annoying,
Speaker 2: and then she sits through the whole movie and ask
Speaker 2: what's going on. I can't watch a whole movie without
Speaker 2: having to stop in the middle of the movie and
Speaker 2: explain what happened ten minutes ago.
Speaker 3: And I'm really getting frustrated. It's like I shouldn't even
Speaker 3: be watching that movie. I don't know how to fix it,
Speaker 3: and I'm so so over it. Please help, says anonymous.
Speaker 3: That's their confession. I think what you're describing is incredibly normal.
Speaker 3: Just for the record, I think for me for a second.
Speaker 2: But the thing, Yeah, the problem is when I think
Speaker 2: that my wife has just been playing New York Times crosswords,
Speaker 2: the whole thing and not paying attention. About eight times
Speaker 2: out of ten. She knows what's going on sometimes better
Speaker 2: than I do. So I don't really have a leg
Speaker 2: to stand on there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will tell you there's one move that I've
Speaker 3: tried that is good that fixed this for me, and
Speaker 3: that is Courtney and I we watch a movie most nights,
Speaker 3: or we watch like some episodes of a series of
Speaker 3: TV shows or whatever, and before the movie starts, we
Speaker 3: both take our phones. We go into the room, we
Speaker 3: plug our phones into the chargers and we leave them there.
Speaker 2: We don't have them within.
Speaker 3: Reach, we don't have them a stand up comedian kind
Speaker 3: of yeah, we're putting them, we're locking them away. And
Speaker 3: that way the movie comes on and where our attention
Speaker 3: is on the movie or the show that we're watching,
Speaker 3: and we're not even slightly distracted by that. And for us,
Speaker 3: that's been pretty successful actually, So I think that you
Speaker 3: might benefit from that.
Speaker 2: It could help out.
Speaker 3: Quite a bit. Let me know how it works. Uh,
Speaker 3: let's see, uh, Nick says to tips in the news
Speaker 3: junky dot com.
Speaker 2: I've had dogs forever and I never put on any
Speaker 2: damn sunscreen on my dog. However, we do have a
Speaker 2: white horse that we have to put kids save sunscreen
Speaker 2: on because the horse will get burned up on its
Speaker 2: nose and ears. Love the show, you guys, Rock says Nick.
Speaker 2: Never heard of that, but that's it. It's the thing.
Speaker 2: I guess when we talked about that before, that was
Speaker 2: about the veterinarian that said we should be sunscreening our dogs. Evil.
Speaker 2: I brought up a good point and said, foxes and
Speaker 2: wolves have survived in the wild for how long without ever,
Speaker 2: without a drop of sunscreen? No sunscreen for the foxes
Speaker 2: and wolves. Yeah, and everybody's been okay, all of the animals.
Speaker 3: The animals have never had this as far as I know,
Speaker 3: or though I guess you could say, and somebody might
Speaker 3: have said this already. I think some animals do self
Speaker 3: regulate with this, Like isn't that why pigs are filthy?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 3: Maybe I do know one animal that self regulates. What
Speaker 3: I heard, and I might be wrong, Oh God, the cheetah.
Speaker 3: What I heard, and I might be wrong. Was I
Speaker 3: heard that pigs are filthy, not because they like to
Speaker 3: be filthy, but because they can't sweat, and so they
Speaker 3: cover themselves in mud when it's really hot outside to
Speaker 3: make them more comfortable. So I don't know if that's true,
Speaker 3: but maybe that's like their version of sunscreen, and they
Speaker 3: roll around it because of that. Elephants too, I think,
Speaker 3: I don't know type.
Speaker 2: So why do pigs get And I have nose rings,
Speaker 2: which I know the answer to fastrated hairy in the wild,
Speaker 2: so big stunned diarrhea that sounds like a terrible thing,
Speaker 2: and hair in their guns. It said nothing about that,
Speaker 2: but I've heard that's a thing. I could be wrong.
Speaker 2: I don't know much about these kind of fun No.
Speaker 2: It says pigs roll in the mud and get dirty
Speaker 2: for three essential survival reasons. They lack functional sweat glands
Speaker 2: points sean, so they cannot cool off by perspiring. Wallowing
Speaker 2: the mud provide the central temperature regulation. It also protects
Speaker 2: from the sun. It's a natural sunscreen and a little
Speaker 2: bit of pest control, okay, a bit of pest control
Speaker 2: for the me, so it's useful. It does something for him.
Speaker 2: Earlier when I googled, uh, do dogs get skin cancer?
Speaker 2: Before I type skin cancer, was like do dogs get
Speaker 2: And there was a whole bunch of things dementia, do
Speaker 2: dogs get bored? But my favorite was they do? My
Speaker 2: favorite wasn't. I'm like, oh, there's a lot of angry
Speaker 2: neighbors who have contributed to the algorithm bumping up this search.
Speaker 2: But it said do dogs ever get tired of barking? Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's one that I've probably wanted to google myself from
Speaker 2: time to time.
Speaker 3: You get a neighbor that's just doing that. But I like,
Speaker 3: I know they get bored. I know that one is
Speaker 3: absolutely one thousand percent true. We've got John emailing. He says,
Speaker 3: I'm a little behind. I paused the show during meetings earlier.
Speaker 3: But I've been through four or five earthquakes, the biggest
Speaker 3: being the north Ridge earthquake. My wife and I were
Speaker 3: about to move to Japan, so we had nothing in
Speaker 3: the apartment but camping mats to sleep on. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: heard it here first, folks. He indeed did say that
Speaker 3: he was moving to Japan. Japan nailed it, And back
Speaker 3: to where was the dispatch? Did I lose it?
Speaker 2: Son of a bitch. Yes, Oh, it was an email.
Speaker 2: It was an email.
Speaker 3: My wife and I were about to move to Japan,
Speaker 3: so we had nothing in the apartment but camping mats
Speaker 3: to sleep on. I woke up in the middle of
Speaker 3: the night to the sound of my wife screaming in
Speaker 3: my face, and then I realized I was in the air.
Speaker 3: I bounced off the ground a few times before managing
Speaker 3: to stand up, and, being an idiot, immediately started combing
Speaker 3: around in the dark to try to find my video camera.
Speaker 3: I got it turned on, and just after the shaking stopped.
Speaker 3: Of course, we went outside of the sound of all
Speaker 3: the car alarms in the city going off and the
Speaker 3: smell of natural gas around the pool area. My next
Speaker 3: door neighborhood run through his glass table in the dark
Speaker 3: and was bleeding all over his legs. My god, he
Speaker 3: tried to light a cigarette and I stopped him. Then
Speaker 3: spent the next hour trying to make sure that nobody
Speaker 3: lit a cigarette. Into our office building the next day,
Speaker 3: even though it was condemned and in one of the
Speaker 3: ripped apart walls, I could see a twelve to fourteen
Speaker 3: inch dialogue diagonal square two beam was shattered in half
Speaker 3: with a six inch gap between two halves of the beam.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that part's about, but he's saying
Speaker 3: it was pretty jarring obviously to be in that situation.
Speaker 3: And when you're in an earthquake like that, I guess
Speaker 3: it is important. You need to be aware of any
Speaker 3: natural gas lines or natural gas in those places being exposed.
Speaker 3: Somebody trying to let a cigarette cold blow everybody up.
Speaker 2: I guess right.
Speaker 3: We have time for two dispatches. Here is kills true.
Speaker 3: Talking about air conditioning, go Jackie.
Speaker 13: The problem with air conditioners in Europe. My girlfriend listen
Speaker 13: in Scotland. It's hot, but it's only like hot for
Speaker 13: one or two weeks. Then it's like a decent temperature
Speaker 13: with no humidity. It's not like crazy floor to heat,
Speaker 13: so they don't see the point. If anything, they could
Speaker 13: do the window units over there, but reconfiguring all their
Speaker 13: old buildings.
Speaker 10: It's not worth it for like a couple of weeks
Speaker 10: a year.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think they should reconfigure all their old buildings.
Speaker 3: That doesn't make sense. I agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: This is something where Europe needs to get on board. Europe,
Speaker 3: and I'm talking about England, I'm talking about France in particular,
Speaker 3: but a lot of the UK they don't want to
Speaker 3: add air conditioners to places because they literally have been
Speaker 3: told in brainwashed into this idea that it's going to
Speaker 3: harm the environment and harm people, and so that's why
Speaker 3: they won't upgrade to have air conditioners. And in many
Speaker 3: cases there's politicians that will regulate things so they can't
Speaker 3: have air conditioners. So when I say that i'm talking
Speaker 3: about little window units and stuff, especially for older people.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about schools and new builds should.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent make sure that they have really good
Speaker 2: ventilation and really good air conditioner. Old people's homes, those
Speaker 2: kind of things. They need to build all of that
Speaker 2: in over time, but most people would just benefit from
Speaker 2: a window unit, and the idea that they don't is
Speaker 2: kind of crazy. Scotland might be a couple of weeks
Speaker 2: a year.
Speaker 3: That makes sense where they are geographically France, Spain, I
Speaker 3: mean these places it gets it gets much warmer for
Speaker 3: a longer period of time in some of those places,
Speaker 3: and they still don't have that much in terms of
Speaker 3: air conditioners.
Speaker 2: Here's a big ol. So I feel so stupid. You're
Speaker 2: talking about gifted subs, and it just now hit me.
Speaker 2: You're not the first subscriptions, not actual public subs. We
Speaker 2: could do that too, though, freaking idiot. Anyway, I want
Speaker 2: to like it. The site domain is for sale, big O.
Speaker 3: I don't know how much I can do here. The
Speaker 3: website is thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 2: Buy up the the one that's for sale, though.
Speaker 3: You won't have to think of the website if you
Speaker 3: just search for the news Junkie and download the app.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna drop the cleaner. We're not no that that
Speaker 2: that website. I've tried to buy it many times, just
Speaker 2: newsjunkky dot com up. Try to buy it many times.
Speaker 3: They see that I'm associated with iHeart and they want
Speaker 3: to charge just oodles of money. I think one hundred
Speaker 3: thousand dollars or something was one of the last quotes
Speaker 3: that they gave me all that.
Speaker 2: I don't care about that that much. I'd rather just
Speaker 2: have what I have.
Speaker 3: Go to the newsyunky dot com and when the subscriptions
Speaker 3: are available as they were earlier, maybe they will be.
Speaker 2: Before the end of the show. Who knows.
Speaker 3: If somebody hits that gift icon on the website when
Speaker 3: they are you can claim them with one click, So
Speaker 3: do them quick break. When we come back, we'll get
Speaker 3: into the Power Hour rolls on. We gotta talk about
Speaker 3: this pastor that's in the news and the flight from Hell. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we're going on a plane, all right, like it or not,
Speaker 3: it's happening. That's coming up next on the news junk
Speaker 3: Ye Sea Lion says, gun all right. Actually not in
Speaker 3: the neighborhood, really no, No, You've got a safe neighborhood.
Speaker 3: It's a nice place. But there's different stories out there
Speaker 3: like this that lead me to believe that some people
Speaker 3: are living different lives, which you know, obviously just makes sense.
Speaker 2: I want to try to play this. I don't know
Speaker 2: if this is legit or not, but there's been.
Speaker 3: Some stories about how in Chicago there's the murders are up,
Speaker 3: things are more dangerous and blah blah blah. I could
Speaker 3: tell you, as somebody who lived in Chicago for six years,
Speaker 3: that it's not anything new that the murders are up.
Speaker 3: People kill each other, and specifically they kill each other
Speaker 3: in particular neighborhoods in the South of Chicago and neighborhoods
Speaker 3: that are rife with gang violence. It's mostly young black
Speaker 3: men killing each other in Chicago. If you look at
Speaker 3: the statistics, this is what it bears out for you.
Speaker 3: And it always happens the same way. It's in the
Speaker 3: summer when it's hot, they go out, they start to
Speaker 3: get into it. They start with the gang rival stuff
Speaker 3: and they shoot each other over nothing. They're killing each
Speaker 3: other over nothing, and they make it seem each other like, Wow,
Speaker 3: the homicides are up.
Speaker 2: It's just the weather. When it's cold, people kill each
Speaker 2: other less. I don't know why. I mean, they don't
Speaker 2: want to go outside. They're inside, They're less likely to
Speaker 2: shoot each other. It's a good side effect from that.
Speaker 2: But the story I saw said this is from WTTW. Shootings.
Speaker 2: Homicides in Chicago up this year as they continue to
Speaker 2: out pass last year's historic loves. Well that's when they
Speaker 2: happen anyhow, Right, it's still up over last year on
Speaker 2: the same time, So you've got more homicides than you
Speaker 2: did last year at the same time, but this time
Speaker 2: of year that you see way more in terms of
Speaker 2: violence in these areas. And this woman posted a video
Speaker 2: of herself and she said Chicago has gotten so dangerous
Speaker 2: in her neighborhood.
Speaker 3: If we're to believe her that. She says she has
Speaker 3: to carry something around with her. I'm gonna play this
Speaker 3: sea lanes stay by the dump button because I have
Speaker 3: no idea if this woman is going to curse up
Speaker 3: a storm.
Speaker 2: I'm going to try my best to keep this clip going.
Speaker 3: But she says that she has to prepare herself to
Speaker 3: keep herself safe because her neighborhood has gotten more dangerous.
Speaker 9: Here she is a lot of people ask me how
Speaker 9: I feel so safe walking around Chicago alone at night,
Speaker 9: And the answer is that I carry a hammer, just
Speaker 9: a full hammer. And I know you're probably asking yourself,
Speaker 9: but Nora, why don't I just carry like peppers, pry
Speaker 9: or something else.
Speaker 1: It's because that.
Speaker 2: Is that a visual d I thought that was on
Speaker 2: the way you got that, Yeah, okay. She says, it's
Speaker 2: about having a visual deterrent, And she says, if somebody
Speaker 2: sees me with a hammer, do you think they're gonna
Speaker 2: f with me? She's literally walking along the street with
Speaker 2: a hammer in her hand, and she goes, look, it's
Speaker 2: important that you have some kind of visual deterrent with
Speaker 2: yourself to protect yourself.
Speaker 3: And then she goes over Chicago's homicide rate, YadA, YadA, YadA,
Speaker 3: YadA YadA. And I wonder do any of you have
Speaker 3: something that you bring with you in your own neighborhood, Like,
Speaker 3: are you carrying something with you in your own neighborhood.
Speaker 3: I know when Courtney goes out, she protects herself. She's
Speaker 3: got pepper spray and stuff.
Speaker 2: That she has with her. Because hammer, she needs to
Speaker 2: bring a hammer. Apparently, I've never heard of that before.
Speaker 2: I've never I've never heard of walking around with a hammer.
Speaker 2: A lot of people are saying dogs, and I have
Speaker 2: heard of that, and that that does seem to be
Speaker 2: a rather smart thing to do, to have your dog
Speaker 2: with you if you if you can. But also if
Speaker 2: you say it's a physical deterrent, what is that going
Speaker 2: to do if the other people have guns? So the
Speaker 2: people in Chicago that you're scared of have guns, and
Speaker 2: you're like, I've got a hammer right here. I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess that's better than nothing, But it still seems
Speaker 2: like it's not enough. She's got a hammer, She's going
Speaker 2: to fix you. I don't think brandishing a weapon is legal. Well,
Speaker 2: the hammer probably would be, right, the hammer, you're going
Speaker 2: to use it as a weapon. I mean, if you're
Speaker 2: using the hammer as a weapon, I think in this
Speaker 2: girl's case, it's because she's being attacked or or because
Speaker 2: she's not brandishing it as a weapon. She's just holding it.
Speaker 2: She's holding in her hand.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm put anything wrong with that.
Speaker 3: My gut tells me that this is one of those
Speaker 3: things that makes you feel good but doesn't really do anything.
Speaker 3: If there was some gangsters on the corner really really
Speaker 3: dead set on robbing you or attacking you, I seriously
Speaker 3: out there to be like that white woman has a
Speaker 3: hammer right now, so let's fully call it off.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Does it make it more likely that they'll call
Speaker 2: it off, Yes, it's it's definitely a threat and it
Speaker 2: could prove to be an issue. But if they really
Speaker 2: were dead set on it, I don't know that the
Speaker 2: hammer would be like. Actually, she was kind of saying,
Speaker 2: some people bring the pepper spray with him. I will
Speaker 2: tell you pepper spray, bear spray, whatever is literally one
Speaker 2: of the best atturns. It works very well. A one
Speaker 2: is a better deterrent. You're saying deterrent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if somebody goes to mess with you, I mean,
Speaker 3: pepper spray is is a deterrent when some trouble has
Speaker 3: already started. She doesn't want the trouble to start. She
Speaker 3: thinks the hammer is going to do the trick. But
Speaker 3: I think, just like you get, you don't know when
Speaker 3: people have pepper spray on it, So that's it's not
Speaker 3: a deterrent until you start messing with them and then
Speaker 3: they pull out the pepper spray and spray your ass
Speaker 3: and now you're you're down for the count. Yes, she says,
Speaker 3: it works, though she said this is the way to
Speaker 3: do it. This is me protecting myself out on the streets.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I put that out there, lady,
Speaker 3: it sounds like a challenge.
Speaker 2: If you need me, I'll be walking with my hammer
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night alongside the streets. She says.
Speaker 3: You need a physical deterrent. There she is and some
Speaker 3: gangster comes up to her, like they call me nails.
Speaker 3: I ain't afraid of no hammer. Look, it's better than nothing.
Speaker 3: But if you're so worried, I would say, get a gun. Like,
Speaker 3: if you're really worried about your safety, I would say
Speaker 3: get a gun. Take lessons on how to use the gun,
Speaker 3: take lessons on how to defend yourself. I'm aware that
Speaker 3: Chicago has some pretty different, let's say, handgun laws, but
Speaker 3: you could probably get your hands on one legally, and
Speaker 3: if you had one, that would be your best bet
Speaker 3: if you're not going to have a lethal weapon. Although
Speaker 3: maybe you would say that the hammer is a lethal
Speaker 3: weapon to defend yourself. I think the bear spray in
Speaker 3: those things are incredibly effective, way more effective than anybody
Speaker 3: realizes in so many casse cases. But they said carjackings
Speaker 3: ten times in national average, aggravated US all three times
Speaker 3: the national average, and robbery rates six times high. Robbery
Speaker 3: in Chicago is what you have to worry about the most.
Speaker 3: That's just the truth. The robbery rate, because they will
Speaker 3: steal your car. If you leave your car running, these
Speaker 3: people will steal your car. They'll mess with you if
Speaker 3: they see you on the street and they think that
Speaker 3: you have some money, you have a nice watch or
Speaker 3: something that these people will steal from you.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. When it comes to looking at the
Speaker 2: homicide rate, if I look at the homicide rate in Chicago,
Speaker 2: it's not gang members just killing randos. It's gang members
Speaker 2: killing other gang members. It's usually not just some random
Speaker 2: white woman who carries a hammer along with her. But
Speaker 2: I'm sure people have different ways to protect themselves, or
Speaker 2: at least that's what they think they're doing.
Speaker 3: Do you think this will be successful? Do you think
Speaker 3: there's a better way to handle it? Let us know
Speaker 3: how you handle yourself and protect yourself. Send us a
Speaker 3: dispatch at the news Junkie dot com or email tips
Speaker 3: tips at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, we gotta take a quick break. Then we'll
