Speaker 1: this week, so that should be an absolute blast. We're
Speaker 1: filming this for a special that we're gonna release at
Speaker 1: some point in time, and it's gonna be absolute chaos.
Speaker 1: So if you want to have some fun, it is
Speaker 1: an adult you better be there. And the details are
Speaker 1: still up last minute here at the news Chunky dot
Speaker 1: Com slash Roast. But my weekend was good. I'm glad
Speaker 1: to be back. We're gonna have a fun week show
Speaker 1: no show on Friday.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3: We were fired after what happened.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, I mean we could do that, but.
Speaker 3: Very well could happen what happened?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 1: Uh, it's it's going to be a fun week on
Speaker 1: the show. So we hope you'll hang out with us
Speaker 1: here for the next couple of days and then some
Speaker 1: Right now, let's put her ears to the ground, her
Speaker 1: fingers on the pulse list. He was happening to this great,
Speaker 1: big wide world of ours. Somebody who had a very
Speaker 1: different weekend than well all of us, I would imagine.
Speaker 1: Is a guy at Howard University, famed college, Howard University.
Speaker 1: He was busy hitting on two women when he was
Speaker 1: rudely interrupted, just trying to have a little street convo
Speaker 1: with two ladies, and he was rudely interrupted by gunfire
Speaker 1: that broke out. There was a shooting. I guess they
Speaker 1: arrested at least two people. Five people shot on Howard
Speaker 1: University for their homecoming stuff. And this guy was right
Speaker 1: in the middle of flirting with some women when the
Speaker 1: shots rang out, and he said, nope.
Speaker 2: They got a question mark with are you feeling this
Speaker 2: for net? Nope?
Speaker 3: That flirting quickly?
Speaker 1: Yeah. She immediately gets on his bike. He hears the
Speaker 1: gunshots and goes, nope, I'm out of here. He's flirting
Speaker 1: with all of these I got a question for you.
Speaker 1: You know, you want to stay over and you're connecting
Speaker 1: flight and like he's just he's shooting his shot with
Speaker 1: these ladies. You're here, and then listen for the pops
Speaker 1: in the background. How you feeling connected?
Speaker 3: So I'm gone, I'm not shooting. Watch how fast you
Speaker 3: hear the emergency vehicles?
Speaker 2: Ready? I mean that was just shot fired.
Speaker 3: I'm out, he says, I'm out already. Was he on
Speaker 3: a bible running?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: He must be.
Speaker 1: He must be moving on foot because he's weaving between
Speaker 1: people in a way that look strange.
Speaker 3: That man can run.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right off the jump, there as not even a
Speaker 1: care in the world.
Speaker 2: What happened to those two ladies.
Speaker 3: No, no, he was could have been your future wife.
Speaker 5: But she was.
Speaker 4: Engaging with them, maybe doing a little flirting. It was
Speaker 4: hard to tell what he was going to say because
Speaker 4: it happened so quickly and all of a sudden, it's
Speaker 4: like they never existed.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it was a scooter. He can't run
Speaker 1: that fast, can't he?
Speaker 3: And then there was like a moment it looked like
Speaker 3: he was stepping.
Speaker 2: I don't let me bring this back one last time.
Speaker 4: Here, let's see here talking talking on.
Speaker 2: The connected shots. Are you right here?
Speaker 3: Sit out there? That's it, that's wheels.
Speaker 2: He just moving too much.
Speaker 1: If not, he's like the most you know, elaborate walker.
Speaker 2: I've ever seen a runner.
Speaker 3: I've ever seen in my life a wheelchair. I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know he is.
Speaker 2: He's out.
Speaker 4: I think the camera is on some sort of gimbal,
Speaker 4: which is kind of making it a little confusing to see.
Speaker 4: You know, there's too much stabilization going on.
Speaker 6: Here, which begs the question, like, do you go on
Speaker 6: a date with that one dude who hits on you
Speaker 6: in the streets that's holding a gimble in your face.
Speaker 1: That's going to be one letdown, and the just running
Speaker 1: away from any sort of danger might be another one.
Speaker 3: But I would have done it too. Get out of
Speaker 3: there in red.
Speaker 1: Flag, yeah yeah, save save your own life, save your
Speaker 1: own back. Went this weekend and it was the first
Speaker 1: time in a very long time that I have been
Speaker 1: to the mall because I.
Speaker 3: Had to get stuff.
Speaker 1: I had to get my outfit ready, get a little
Speaker 1: fancified for the roast event. And I have to tell
Speaker 1: you one thing, walking into the mall, after like years
Speaker 1: and years and years and years, I go in there
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 2: Immediately feel old.
Speaker 1: I felt old everywhere I went in the mall because
Speaker 1: the people who were wandering around were just like younger people.
Speaker 1: People in every single store I went in together about
Speaker 1: that age. You know, I'm trying to get the shoes
Speaker 1: or a suit or whatever. Everybody that helps me, young, young, young, young, young,
Speaker 1: All of these people, and then I why I don't
Speaker 1: go to the mall anymore.
Speaker 2: It is just the worst.
Speaker 1: No way is the worst experience. Man, Oh god, you
Speaker 1: go and now and I watch so many people when
Speaker 1: I go to the mall, I watch all these people
Speaker 1: who are like in line to be replaced by AI.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have done this now,
Speaker 1: but you go to the shoe store. And when you
Speaker 1: go to the shoe store, obviously they have everything on
Speaker 1: the wall and stuff, and then you go, hey, can
Speaker 1: I see these shoes and this size? And they pop
Speaker 1: up their phone real quick and they hit a button
Speaker 1: and then there's a screen and it shows the shoe
Speaker 1: you're asking for, and there's a progress bar, and the
Speaker 1: progress bar is like filling up as somebody in the
Speaker 1: back is like, you know, it's like a pizza tracker
Speaker 1: for your shoes inside the shoe.
Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of the pizza tracker. I've tracked
Speaker 4: many a pizza track. Everything all right, everything to be tracked, fine.
Speaker 4: I like to see the visuals and know what to expect.
Speaker 4: But tell me, we're not like five seconds away from
Speaker 4: all of those shoe sales people out Bundy style being
Speaker 4: completely eliminated because all you have to do is put
Speaker 4: an iPad out the chicks then and when you when
Speaker 4: do you have an iPad out there and you're like,
Speaker 4: these shoes this size, Oh there is some, I'll take them.
Speaker 2: Now. You just watch the screen.
Speaker 4: You never even see a human and the beauty of
Speaker 4: this there's only one good thing.
Speaker 2: For a little while.
Speaker 1: It's been hard as an ugly person to get a job.
Speaker 2: It has, it has.
Speaker 1: If you're like a public facing person, it's been hard.
Speaker 1: Ugly people struggle to get work. It's been harder for
Speaker 1: them to get jobs. But I think for at least
Speaker 1: a little while here, because nobody needs to be public
Speaker 1: facing anymore. You just have an iPad out there, they
Speaker 1: can hire all the uggos to work in the back.
Speaker 1: The job market for uglies on fire right now.
Speaker 2: Just on fire.
Speaker 1: It's a world that we're heading into that I want
Speaker 1: you to brace yourself for. But I saw a glimpse
Speaker 1: of it this weekend and I absolutely hated it. I
Speaker 1: just there was, I was buying something and I go,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna do instead.
Speaker 2: Of go with you? Yeah, okay, yeah, she hate it.
Speaker 1: She hated the sub of it too, But like I
Speaker 1: went to I went to look at some jeans while
Speaker 1: I was there, and they don't sell a lot of
Speaker 1: jeans anymore like they used to, where you would get
Speaker 1: like your width and your you know, your waist and
Speaker 1: your length. Yeah, now it's it's just whatever waist size
Speaker 1: you wear and then go kiss my ass. You have
Speaker 1: to go get them like fitted somewhere.
Speaker 6: Or if you don't have an ass, then you It's
Speaker 6: very clear because they just make it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well frumpy. For me, I wear like a thirty
Speaker 1: three thirty right, and.
Speaker 6: So men's are way different. I've never heard of that
Speaker 6: portion of it.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's a little different, but they change it
Speaker 1: on us too, because like I wear thirty three thirty
Speaker 1: and those are perfect on me. And if I get
Speaker 1: like if a regular size thirty three doesn't have a
Speaker 1: specialized length to it, it'll be so long that it'll
Speaker 1: be like bunched up and I'll look like a little
Speaker 1: kid with bunched up pants, or it's all through, it's all.
Speaker 6: Dumb gene section look like fellas, Like, was it much
Speaker 6: bigger because we I mean, you have your stores as
Speaker 6: far as women go, that it's like size twenty eight,
Speaker 6: which is uh, you know, size two for another store,
Speaker 6: but it was never based on end seam or something
Speaker 6: like that, so you yours must be doubled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, any other options? No?
Speaker 1: No, there are five brands of jeans in the we
Speaker 1: went to Bloomingdale's or something. Five brands of jeans total,
Speaker 1: and every single pair is over two hundred dollars and
Speaker 1: you and they're not fitted to your your length. And
Speaker 1: I'm I mean, it needs to work. The whole system
Speaker 1: needs to work, folks.
Speaker 4: Now, So you said Courtney was with you at the
Speaker 4: mall and you hated it.
Speaker 2: You hated the mall.
Speaker 4: How did this affects everybody's overall time at the mall?
Speaker 4: Was Courtney like done with you by the end of
Speaker 4: this because you were just him and Han and.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, did just so you guys know how
Speaker 1: I operate like, I don't complain the whole time. I
Speaker 1: just do all the things that I absolutely have to do.
Speaker 1: And then afterwards we get in the car and go, oh,
Speaker 1: the moth sucks, and she's like, yeah, it's crazy in there.
Speaker 1: So I don't bitch and moan the whole time.
Speaker 4: I just I act like I when I was younger,
Speaker 4: I did Okay, I hated. I hated trying on clothes.
Speaker 4: I thought it was so boring and stupid. There's anything
Speaker 4: I'd rather be doing.
Speaker 6: Even bring your self confidence down very quickly.
Speaker 4: Well, I didn't care about that. I already that was
Speaker 4: already pretty low those years.
Speaker 1: This is this is one of the biggest like gender
Speaker 1: divides on things. Okay, guys generally speaking, don't care about
Speaker 1: trying on clothes and hate trying on clothes and women
Speaker 1: because women women's clothes are so different and fitted so
Speaker 1: different and fit so different by stores.
Speaker 3: And all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Women are like how how could you buy something without
Speaker 1: trying It's like a divide where we don't even understand
Speaker 1: each other's experiences. It's very difference.
Speaker 6: But in my age now I'm overwhelmed, like, I'll do
Speaker 6: one story. I hate this and I will order everything
Speaker 6: online please.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the.
Speaker 6: Crowd and the mess of the clothes, there's no way.
Speaker 6: Bless your soul for trying them all out for the
Speaker 6: first time in years.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean I'm never doing it again.
Speaker 3: But the although I did have the suit I.
Speaker 1: Got, I did have the sweetest guy, And even though
Speaker 1: I did a thing where I look like an absolute
Speaker 1: idiot in public. He rolled with me because I was
Speaker 1: trying on this sport code and I said, does this
Speaker 1: fit me?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: And the guy comes over and he's like all right,
Speaker 1: he's looking at it, and he was holding the tape
Speaker 1: measure in his hands, so I thought he wanted to
Speaker 1: measure me. So I took off the sport code and
Speaker 1: started like spinning around with my arms out and he's like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't need to measure you. I don't know switches.
Speaker 7: Why holding it?
Speaker 1: He just does it. You could tell that what his
Speaker 1: job is. But it's like I act like you belong thing.
Speaker 1: It's his clipboard style thing. Anyhow, What a mess, What
Speaker 1: a mess. But I've got my outfit ninety nine percent
Speaker 1: gathered for the roast event.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a blast.
Speaker 1: Go check us out details at the newsjunkie dot com
Speaker 1: slash the Roast if we don't get knocked out hurricanealissam
Speaker 1: oh I said, you said the roast, No, no, Thenewsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot Com slash roast, that's the correct one.
Speaker 3: And you said, what about Hurricane Melissa knocking us out?
Speaker 1: If we don't get knocked out by Hurricanealism, Yeah, I mean, we're.
Speaker 3: Ilay got a big old shield. John Watson, I'm positive
Speaker 3: we're good.
Speaker 1: But just in case, we got to peek into what's
Speaker 1: happening with the hurricane. This sucker is big and gonna
Speaker 1: pose a lot of problems for Jamaica. Our friends in Jamaica, man,
Speaker 1: I think they said most areas get this of Jamaica,
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty inches of rain we're expecting.
Speaker 6: I mean Central Florida got fourteen inches, and surprise for
Speaker 6: everybody was like not in the weather. So I can't
Speaker 6: imagine that Jamaica, knowing what is to come, it's probably
Speaker 6: gonna end up being a little bit more knock on
Speaker 6: what I.
Speaker 3: Hope it's not.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a lot, man, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: And we will talk about a little bit about the
Speaker 1: weather here locally last night. We got a bunch to
Speaker 1: get to on a Monday, we'll dive into all of
Speaker 1: it headfirst and kick off the show and we come back.
Speaker 8: That's coming up next on the news, Chunkie.
Speaker 1: That weather last night, I mean, I don't want to
Speaker 1: say it came out of nowhere, but some of you
Speaker 1: listening right now, we're definitely probably taking aback at the
Speaker 1: amount of rain that a lot of you saw, and
Speaker 1: the amount of time that it took to flood as
Speaker 1: much as it did, because it was crazy, man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean mere hours.
Speaker 6: And there were there was footage I'm seeing this morning
Speaker 6: on the news there's cars underwater.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just do you.
Speaker 1: See the publics video because a lot of people tagged
Speaker 1: me in this public video where they were out back,
Speaker 1: you know where, like they back up the big semi
Speaker 1: trucks f and the area back there was like several
Speaker 1: feet high with rain and they were kind of stuck
Speaker 1: back in the back of.
Speaker 6: The because that was not a hurricane, and that was
Speaker 6: hurricane style flooding.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I heard somebody on the news saying, like we had
Speaker 4: to wait to the general store, and I went this
Speaker 4: this general store anymore. Hated it, but I just thought
Speaker 4: it was kind of funny, like, oh, going to the
Speaker 4: general store, had to bring a boat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really bad for a lot of you.
Speaker 1: And many people were on chat during the break, chiming
Speaker 1: in saying hey, we got fourteen inches in just a
Speaker 1: couple of hours, and people saying they just absolutely got
Speaker 1: flooded out.
Speaker 4: I kept driving by like power lines that have I
Speaker 4: don't know exactly what the thing is.
Speaker 2: I think I know what a transformer is.
Speaker 4: Those are white, right usually yeah, yeah, yeah, But the
Speaker 4: there's another piece that's like black and cylindrical. And there
Speaker 4: were a bunch of those on the ground, like all
Speaker 4: over last night.
Speaker 1: Or keep showing me, keep showing me what that black
Speaker 1: cylindrical thing.
Speaker 2: Looks like with their hands. I'm going to get too.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Another has come into the room a towel.
Speaker 1: The man is surrounded over there, big cylindrical things, all
Speaker 1: in his faith. It was not only nasty, uh, there
Speaker 1: were people who I saw posting all kinds of footage
Speaker 1: that really looked like we got.
Speaker 2: Hit by a hurricane. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It looked like worse than a lot of the more
Speaker 1: recent hurricanes that we went through. So it was I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm talking all the way down to almost the end
Speaker 1: of South Fortima is the tip of the most southern
Speaker 1: most part.
Speaker 2: Of the state.
Speaker 1: For those you'll you know elsewhere, you probably see this,
Speaker 1: but you got your own weather to deal with. We
Speaker 1: got drilled. The National Weather Services tightest Pille for example, Titusville, Florida.
Speaker 1: Guy was fifteen point five inches of rain and again,
Speaker 1: like a lot of the day was nice like a
Speaker 1: lot of the day was a decent day and then
Speaker 1: all of that fifteen point five inches of rain was
Speaker 1: smashed into just a few hours.
Speaker 6: I mean a lot of it were There were some
Speaker 6: schools that said, hey, we're still open and live on
Speaker 6: the news. Was this poor kid trying to get through
Speaker 6: said floodwaters on a bike. Oh no, maybe the newscaster
Speaker 6: was like, just want to remind you, it's an excused
Speaker 6: absence if you can't make it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, turn around, d turn around. That's that's the parent.
Speaker 1: That would be my parents too. I'd be like, it's
Speaker 1: an excuse absence day, and they go get on your bike, Yeah,
Speaker 1: get on. You got to learn some hard lessons in life.
Speaker 1: And they would tell me the whole like I used
Speaker 1: to walk to school in the snow both ways thing.
Speaker 2: And uphill both ways.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't even know if they threw
Speaker 1: in the uphill, but they probably did to make it
Speaker 1: sound worse like they generally do. But I think they
Speaker 1: were lying. I think they were lying about that whole thing.
Speaker 1: But if you had an experience yesterday with those storms,
Speaker 1: please let us know what happened on your ends. And
Speaker 1: a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. We're watching Melissa.
Speaker 1: Hurricane Melissa. It's big, it's angry. It's category five baby.
Speaker 1: It is ready to do some, I'm sure, pretty severe
Speaker 1: damage to Jamaica, which is right in the pack. Jamaica
Speaker 1: gonna get twenty to thirty inches of rain and just
Speaker 1: as short time as the storm goes over them. Let's
Speaker 1: see what they were talking about on ABC.
Speaker 10: This morning, bearing down on Jamaica. Let's look at those images.
Speaker 10: They're coming from space right now. The storm is straight
Speaker 10: there to Category five could be the largest ever hit Jamaica.
Speaker 1: When it makes landfall.
Speaker 10: Many people are stand They're including American tourists.
Speaker 2: Airports are closed.
Speaker 10: Storm has already left a trail of destruction across the Caribbean.
Speaker 10: Ginger is standing by with the you and the chiming.
Speaker 3: I guess the good news is it looks like a boob.
Speaker 1: It stayed off the coast of Jamaica as far as
Speaker 1: the eye, and I mean the strongest wins. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of them, you know a little further out
Speaker 1: definitely hit Jamaica, but it could have been more of
Speaker 1: a direct hit, which would have really rocked this island
Speaker 1: and a lot of these.
Speaker 3: If you've never been to.
Speaker 1: The Bahamas or anything in Cocomo that's mentioned any of
Speaker 1: those places, the real tough truth about it is, and
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico is including this. They usually have really bad
Speaker 1: power grids. They usually have garbage power grids. They need
Speaker 1: billions and billions of dollars of infrastructure upgrades, and for
Speaker 1: some reason, especially in places like Puerto Rico, they don't
Speaker 1: generally get that done.
Speaker 4: Oh, Jamaica, it takes them like fifteen years to build
Speaker 4: a house.
Speaker 3: They do have real struma journy.
Speaker 6: You are like just months away from finishing that house
Speaker 6: after fifteen years and comes right.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'd be so mad. I'd be so mad.
Speaker 1: But a lot of these these island nations or you know,
Speaker 1: territories like Puerto Rico, they have pretty bad electric rids.
Speaker 6: Got there's kind of situated. I know, there's a lot
Speaker 6: of houseboats that still.
Speaker 1: Every time that I've been there, it has been terrible.
Speaker 1: And since I haven't seen a lot that said, they've
Speaker 1: improved drastically.
Speaker 2: One of the reasons is almost like everybody in.
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico lives in like a handful of cities, right,
Speaker 1: and and they're great and beautiful and you should go
Speaker 1: there and check it out. But the rest of Puerto
Speaker 1: Rico is very mountainous. There's a lot of like rainforest area,
Speaker 1: and running power between those places is hard to do anyways,
Speaker 1: So you're not exactly going to underground that power.
Speaker 2: And so imagine that.
Speaker 1: And copy paste it over a lot of these other
Speaker 1: islands in similar circumstances. So Jamaica is going to get
Speaker 1: absolutely smacked with this throughout the day.
Speaker 10: Joshi and Jamaica.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Hike Ikes in Jamaica, Morning, George.
Speaker 11: Hurricane Melissa finally bearing down on Kingston's traffic, flooding and
Speaker 11: upheaval for hundreds and thousands of Jamaicans. Now right now,
Speaker 11: it is a little light, The rain is coming down intermittently,
Speaker 11: the wind is a little light.
Speaker 2: Starting to pick up.
Speaker 11: That's expected to get really, really intense in just a
Speaker 11: few hours.
Speaker 1: What time was it, This was like seven o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning and it was pretty dead during his live
Speaker 1: shot here, like they've.
Speaker 2: Been ready for days.
Speaker 11: Take a look, windows, boarded up, sand bags all around
Speaker 11: this building, something that we're seeing in Jamaica all across
Speaker 11: the city. Listen, this storm has forced airport shutdowns island wide,
Speaker 11: sending residents here in eyes and what could be the
Speaker 11: strongest storm to hit Jamaica ever.
Speaker 2: That was good.
Speaker 1: He did a good job. He did, but he doesn't
Speaker 1: have a lot of exciting wind and stuff going on
Speaker 1: in the background.
Speaker 2: It was an exciting a couple of days ahead of him.
Speaker 6: Some girl posting on TikTok was like, so they've shut
Speaker 6: down all the commercial flights. Is there anyone and just
Speaker 6: posted publicly on TikTok that could just come pick us
Speaker 6: up before the stormheads.
Speaker 3: I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the hurricane, the hurricane hunters will just toss down
Speaker 1: like a real long ladder and you you grab the
Speaker 1: end wrong.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good luck, best of luck to you. What is she?
Speaker 4: Oh, a person who comes to pick her up, like
Speaker 4: you know, you know, if it's a boat because of
Speaker 4: the implication thing that not like that. I'm just saying,
Speaker 4: like monetarily, Yeah, there's gotta be something. You have a
Speaker 4: big debt to fill, either favor wise or just straight
Speaker 4: up monetarily or the implication.
Speaker 1: I've seen something in this world of weather that I've
Speaker 1: been watching. As I watched the hurricane Alyssa bear down
Speaker 1: on Jamaica and then we'll watch what happens next.
Speaker 2: Hopefully we're good. Hopefully the shield holds.
Speaker 1: But I've been watching a lot of the new fangled
Speaker 1: weather people, and what's crazy is with the amount of
Speaker 1: technology they have now, they are just like running all
Speaker 1: around the whole studio, Like one guy in particular is
Speaker 1: like showing you something on this, and then move in
Speaker 1: to this, and then go into this. And these weather
Speaker 1: people have so many tools now. I think they have
Speaker 1: this over at Fox with their latest upgrade too, Like
Speaker 1: they have so many tools to show us all this
Speaker 1: cool stuff, but they got to run all.
Speaker 2: Over the studio to deal with this.
Speaker 1: And this is going to be a storm that is
Speaker 1: worth watching for absolutely everybody, so make sure you're tuned
Speaker 1: into what's going on.
Speaker 2: It's a strong storm.
Speaker 1: I'm looking right now at Hurricane a Less strengthening to
Speaker 1: Category five major hurricane one hundred and sixty mile an
Speaker 1: hour sustain wins, maximum pressure nine hundred and thirteen and
Speaker 1: be expected to make landfall later tonight in Jamaica and
Speaker 1: then some of the pass after this have the wall.
Speaker 1: The shield is supposedly gonna hold, and this thing is
Speaker 1: going to just fire back out into the Atlantic Ocean,
Speaker 1: which would be ideal.
Speaker 2: So I wish.
Speaker 1: Everybody in the path the best of luck. Hopefully all
Speaker 1: goes well, Hopefully everybody's safe, and hopefully this storm goes
Speaker 1: off there into the Atlantic like it's supposed to. Melissa
Speaker 1: is expected to bring a total rainfall of fifteen to
Speaker 1: thirty inches to portions of southern Hispaniola and Jamaica. If
Speaker 1: you don't know what Hispaniola is, that is Haiti slash
Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic. And it's gonna be maybe even forty
Speaker 1: inches possible in some areas.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That's a lot of rain.
Speaker 3: We need a boat, monk.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to be a little rough for some
Speaker 4: of you folks. So liquid sunset, Yeah, a.
Speaker 3: Lot, way too much liquid sunshine.
Speaker 2: Drop it on Jamaica.
Speaker 1: Let's look at the box office this weekend because the
Speaker 1: anime kids, the anime fans have done it again. Man,
Speaker 1: you guys, they are a force to be reckoned with.
Speaker 1: The number one movie in the country is Chainsaw Man,
Speaker 1: an anime move from Sony, making seventeen million dollars. You
Speaker 1: laugh at him online, You mock all the weeds. You say,
Speaker 1: what are you doing watching this stuff? It's for Kids
Speaker 1: and Chainsawman number one with a bullet at the box office.
Speaker 1: Black Phone two was number two, Regretting you number three
Speaker 1: of the box office that Bruce Springsteen movie with is
Speaker 1: that Shallow Bay Show.
Speaker 2: Jeremy Allen White's who it is?
Speaker 1: Yes, Jeremy Allen White from The Bear. Yes, he he
Speaker 1: was in this and that dropped it at fourth place,
Speaker 1: didn't even make ten million.
Speaker 2: I think there's one.
Speaker 4: There's one person in the building who said it was fantastic.
Speaker 1: You know what, I bet it was good be well
Speaker 1: Jack Bradshaw, but I bet it was, like I bet
Speaker 1: it was well done. I don't think Jeremy Allen White
Speaker 1: is going to be garbage actor in this movie. I
Speaker 1: just think it's so specifically for mega fans like Jack Bradshaw.
Speaker 1: It's not for like average movie watchers and somebody.
Speaker 6: Elton John and Freddie Mercury or Queen and those movies
Speaker 6: ended up being very good.
Speaker 1: Uh those well, the Queen one in particular was like
Speaker 1: a standout hit that was much bigger than a lot
Speaker 1: of these kind of movies are. But I think the
Speaker 1: thing to did you see the Bob Dylan one that
Speaker 1: actually had no Yeah, and it's like, Okay, you watch it,
Speaker 1: and you learn a little bit about Bob Dylan's life,
Speaker 1: and and you see that Bob Dylan's not, you know,
Speaker 1: even though I think he's cool, not.
Speaker 2: The most interesting person.
Speaker 1: He just grabs his guitar, straps it around his back
Speaker 1: and you know, gets on his motorcycle or whatever is
Speaker 1: The movie is not necessarily the most exciting thing. I
Speaker 1: feel like Springsteen is like that. I feel like the
Speaker 1: fans are gonna want it, and then just average people
Speaker 1: are gonna go, what's this chainsaw man thing?
Speaker 2: Oh man, it's a cartoon.
Speaker 1: Tron aers in at number five, and then on down
Speaker 1: the line from there. That Shelby Oaks movie bombed miserably
Speaker 1: from Neon, making two point three five million dollars. That's
Speaker 1: the bad news. The good news is it was mostly crowdfunded.
Speaker 2: Anyways, there you go.
Speaker 6: Yeah, now I did a lot of at home watching.
Speaker 6: Started the it Welcome to.
Speaker 3: Dari were to watch that tonight, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Brace yourself because within the first three minutes is something
Speaker 6: that really sets the foundation we'll call it.
Speaker 3: Are the kids supposed to be the kid the adults?
Speaker 3: Are you still trying to figure that out?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I don't know for sure it is quite graphic though.
Speaker 6: Oh really, that's all I will tell you.
Speaker 1: I'm interested. I like the hit movies. I thought they
Speaker 1: were good, so I'm interested in watching this too.
Speaker 4: We wanted a movie last night, and you know, just
Speaker 4: to kind of finish off the weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Happy birthday Jackson.
Speaker 4: Ah yeah, he's two now and he We're like, all right,
Speaker 4: let's watch this. There's a movie that's number one on
Speaker 4: Netflix right now. It's got Idris Elba. He's great, you know,
Speaker 4: of Dynamite, He's the president. What could go wrong?
Speaker 2: A lot? Dog Sally just it was just boring.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I guess, you know, you can still have
Speaker 4: the number one movie on Netflix if everybody has to
Speaker 4: figure out that it sucks. You know, everybody else is
Speaker 4: just currently right now figuring out in real time.
Speaker 6: But just the first ten minutes makes that part of
Speaker 6: the account of how many people are viewing.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know what their requirement is for
Speaker 4: a full watch, or or what they what they take
Speaker 4: into COG. We did because I was I was curious
Speaker 4: as to what happens.
Speaker 2: Still don't know spoiler alert.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, because it was so nasty yesterday for
Speaker 1: a while, we watched.
Speaker 2: I think it's not Hulu. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: We watched that remake of the Hand that Rocks the Cradle,
Speaker 1: which is a nineties thriller, you know, psychological thriller type movie.
Speaker 1: And as we're watching, we're kind of excited because the
Speaker 1: original was decent. As we're watching this, about halfway through,
Speaker 1: Corney are like, this is.
Speaker 3: One of the worst movies we've seen in a long
Speaker 3: long time.
Speaker 2: It was the same.
Speaker 1: I wonder if head to head, let's look up the
Speaker 1: movie you saw Sea Len and compare the Hand that
Speaker 1: Rocks the Cradle.
Speaker 2: All right, what were we doing rotten tomatoes here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, rotten tomatoes audience, audience, all right, I don't.
Speaker 2: Care what the stupid reviewers say.
Speaker 4: But I mean, because there's plenty of reviews that are like,
Speaker 4: it was, you know, captivating and thrilling, and one person
Speaker 4: said it was just as scary as a as a
Speaker 4: Halloween thriller.
Speaker 3: About yours or Shawn's.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Shawn's not doing well on the let me tell you.
Speaker 1: And here's one of the things, okay, is not just
Speaker 1: it was a remake or whatever, but you ever watch
Speaker 1: a movie where they put all these little Easter eggs
Speaker 1: in it, and you're like, all right, and then none
Speaker 1: of the Easter eggs mean anything. Yeah, the movie routinely
Speaker 1: does that. Like you're watching the movie, you're like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's going to come back, that's going to come back,
Speaker 1: pay attention to that, and then they never address it again.
Speaker 1: It never comes to You're like, what the hell, what's
Speaker 1: happening here?
Speaker 2: It was so bad?
Speaker 4: As a seventy seven percent on the popcorn Meter? What
Speaker 4: does well the House of Dynamite, which is what I
Speaker 4: watched last night.
Speaker 3: It's doing very well.
Speaker 6: The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, the remake is forty four.
Speaker 1: Percent on the Pig doesn't even deserve that, I don't think.
Speaker 3: I mean it's on the popcorn meter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like they got together and they made
Speaker 1: a movie. But that's about all you could say of it.
Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to mention was, as far
Speaker 1: as movies go, there's a movie coming out soon, Emma
Speaker 1: Stone Bogonia I want to se bad And the idea
Speaker 1: is that she's a very high power ceo Emmistone's character.
Speaker 2: Now, is she.
Speaker 4: Gonna have more sex than her last movie or shaved? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: She is kidnapped or or ceo napped if you will,
Speaker 1: in this movie. Butgonia that she's gonna be in and
Speaker 1: then they shave her head as she's a captive, and
Speaker 1: it's like the basic premise of this movie that's going
Speaker 1: to be coming out, So I think it might already
Speaker 1: be out limited release. Butgonia with Emmastone in the special
Speaker 1: screening that they had in Los Angeles, if you wanted
Speaker 1: to go, you had to shave your head like her
Speaker 1: character in the movie.
Speaker 2: So they were like such.
Speaker 6: A bigger decision to make, as a god, are.
Speaker 2: They Are they donating this hair?
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even know if they donated. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you know it's even worse. Here's what I heard, so stupid.
Speaker 1: So I heard the Focus Features puts together this big
Speaker 1: premiere thing for m Stone's new movie Pegunia, and because
Speaker 1: her character has their head shaved in it, everybody they
Speaker 1: want them to shave their head at the premiere. But
Speaker 1: then the line of people to get their head shaved
Speaker 1: is taking too long. They didn't have enough hair stylists,
Speaker 1: so the line was taking too long. So somebody grabbed
Speaker 1: like a massive stack of bald bald caps, and they
Speaker 1: just had all the people in line try to force
Speaker 1: on the bald caps so that they could get like
Speaker 1: the photo that they were looking for, because they couldn't
Speaker 1: cut everybody's hair, and it just turned out like a catastrophe.
Speaker 3: There's hair like.
Speaker 6: Poke everywhere also that you like are looking or a
Speaker 6: gust of wind comes through and now you have shavings
Speaker 6: in your eyeballs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was not good. It was It was not
Speaker 1: great for them. All Right, we're gonna take quick break
Speaker 1: when we come back. We got to talk at some
Speaker 1: point here. The third person in ten days has died
Speaker 1: at Walt Disney World Resort. If you're not keeping track,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't blame you, but it's an interesting
Speaker 1: trend that's developing here. How did this happen? Especially this
Speaker 1: latest one. We'll discuss that. We'll get geared up for
Speaker 1: Amy Caufell, our friend from Fox thirty five. She'll be
Speaker 1: joining us in just a bit and a whole lot
Speaker 1: more coming up next than the news, Chunkie. Well, my
Speaker 1: neighborhood is getting all ready for the Halloween season. I know,
Speaker 1: we've got a bunch of new people, a lot of
Speaker 1: new houses on the street, and some nice houses in
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. So in the last couple of years we've
Speaker 1: gotten an influx of kids finally trick or treating here
Speaker 1: and so last have the upgrade.
Speaker 2: You're offering no more ramen.
Speaker 1: Well we were talking about that, well, but Courtney dropped
Speaker 1: a hand down on it, and we went to the
Speaker 1: store to get like candy for the kids that aren't
Speaker 1: down come by on Halloween. She goes, are we going
Speaker 1: to stay there for Halloween? I go, I think we
Speaker 1: have to. Now, when you got a bunch of people
Speaker 1: come in to your house, you just kind of.
Speaker 3: Have to you do.
Speaker 6: But I mean, I'm in the same kind of position.
Speaker 6: The last couple of years. We've stayed until the candy's gone.
Speaker 6: And even when that was done, you saw a trailer.
Speaker 6: I mean there was one truck that had a trailer
Speaker 6: of children that just dropped everyone off.
Speaker 2: But I'm all at once.
Speaker 6: I would like to go to Fritz's show. He's doing
Speaker 6: the Aussie Tubu concert. Yeah, So I don't know, do
Speaker 6: I leave signage or just turn everything off?
Speaker 3: Well, you down, what time is?
Speaker 2: What time does Fritz's show start on Halloween?
Speaker 3: I man, I'd like to get there by like nine.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think doesn't trigger treating shut down it like
Speaker 1: does my kids.
Speaker 3: Still coming up and they're like, I don't know.
Speaker 6: And that's when I left saltines out and they didn't
Speaker 6: pick them up.
Speaker 1: For somebody, that's too late in my opinion. I think, well,
Speaker 1: maybe nine is not like that's on the cusp though
Speaker 1: usually be coming by between six and nine signage. Maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know. They might still get Maddie. You know
Speaker 1: how it goes. Sometimes yeah, yeah, that's no good.
Speaker 2: That's no good.
Speaker 1: But we were getting ready for the trigger treats and
Speaker 1: I go, I I'd rather have more than less, like
Speaker 1: I don't want to run out.
Speaker 2: Last year we started.
Speaker 1: To get stressed because we didn't get enough and we
Speaker 1: thought we're going to completely run out. And we went
Speaker 1: to get the Halloween candy and she goes, we're not
Speaker 1: going to be a full bar's household.
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 2: And I said what?
Speaker 1: And she's like no, And I don't know if they
Speaker 1: deserve it, and we can't set those kind of expectations
Speaker 1: of course, And I said, you know what, I said,
Speaker 1: you're right. I said, you're absolutely right. I said, you
Speaker 1: know what happens. This is how spoiled and you know
Speaker 1: rich we are as a country, and just how few
Speaker 1: problems we actually have. I said, I think and parents
Speaker 1: up on this if I'm right. I think we have
Speaker 1: an unheard of problem in the United States of America
Speaker 1: for Halloween. I think when kids go out, they bring
Speaker 1: back their whole hall of candy. I think parents throw away.
Speaker 2: A bunch of it. I think they get so much
Speaker 2: to care for themselves.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like if they funnel it away into a secret
Speaker 4: stash or something.
Speaker 1: But you get so much that your parents can't give
Speaker 1: it all to you. Otherwise you'll get diabetes and die
Speaker 1: out in your teenage years.
Speaker 2: And nobody wants that. Your parents don't want that.
Speaker 1: But I was like, I think we are too spoiled
Speaker 1: for the Halloween season, and maybe too many people started
Speaker 1: giving out full bars and then to kick it back
Speaker 1: fun size again.
Speaker 6: Plan was like a couple like a like a small
Speaker 6: bag of full bars. And then when I see a
Speaker 6: cute kid that deserves it, maybe kids first Halloween, and
Speaker 6: you can just see it in their eyes up there
Speaker 6: they have manners.
Speaker 3: Then I'm gonna be like, don't tell anybody, here's the
Speaker 3: full bar.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I wanted to do this same thing. But I have
Speaker 1: seen people saying that you shouldn't do that, that that
Speaker 1: is somehow like mean, or you shouldn't do it. I
Speaker 1: wanted to reward the best costumes that show up interesting
Speaker 1: a little something extra, so you're like, oh, kick ass kid,
Speaker 1: you have a really great costume. You look just like Pokemon,
Speaker 1: and then a little extra for you, and then the
Speaker 1: other kid got okay, you get a couple of fun
Speaker 1: sized because your costume sucks. But then I saw a
Speaker 1: huge argument about this, and people were saying it's not
Speaker 1: their fault if the kid's costumes suck, and they're you know,
Speaker 1: they don't punish them because their parents suck and they didn't.
Speaker 3: But I still want to.
Speaker 4: I want to reward the ones that are the best costumes.
Speaker 2: I like that there's an idea, and.
Speaker 6: I think people put aside the idea of instead of
Speaker 6: just candy, you can give them an item.
Speaker 2: You know, like, what are we gonna get?
Speaker 6: Give it like a slap bracelet or a where you
Speaker 6: get that a pack of staples?
Speaker 2: Staples?
Speaker 3: How about post?
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a little confused, aren't they if you
Speaker 1: give them posted?
Speaker 6: Some Basically, I have a box of stuff that I
Speaker 6: buy in bulk, and I'm like, if it runs down
Speaker 6: to it, then why why wouldn't they want perhaps.
Speaker 1: A total You're better off just locking the door and
Speaker 1: shutting off the lights than handing out.
Speaker 12: Posted notes and stables. That's how you really there, you
Speaker 12: go solve problems. Can't see Carlo, you hand out sharpies.
Speaker 12: That's that's how you get your stuff written on.
Speaker 3: In my house though, right on the neighbors.
Speaker 1: Donnie says, it's your house show. You can play by
Speaker 1: your own rules. You can't know the social rules rule
Speaker 1: over that. Like, I don't want the kids to rebel
Speaker 1: and and attack us. I don't want them. Corney has
Speaker 1: done up some stuff in the front yard.
Speaker 4: You did a little tree up and stuff, spooky tree,
Speaker 4: and I don't want.
Speaker 1: Them to destroy her work that she's I want to.
Speaker 1: I want to be the cool people in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: How are pumpkins doing well?
Speaker 3: I think we have That is a very rude question.
Speaker 4: We had a pumpkin catastrophe this weekend. Oh really, yeah,
Speaker 4: we had some out front, but we how that could
Speaker 4: it be?
Speaker 2: That thing was.
Speaker 6: Almost rotten the one you had, oh carve it until
Speaker 6: the day of right, No, no, no, it wasn't about
Speaker 6: carving it.
Speaker 4: These are outside pumpkins. These are just for show. But
Speaker 4: they had gotten a lot of sun. So I went
Speaker 4: to rotate one of them.
Speaker 3: Oh, and it just broke up in your hands.
Speaker 4: No, it kind of caved a little bit, and that's
Speaker 4: when the fluid got out, and.
Speaker 2: It was disgusting.
Speaker 1: That's daddy, Yeah, yeah, oh god. They have a rough
Speaker 1: week ahead of them. Actually, those folks certainly do. All right,
Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break when we come back.
Speaker 1: Somebody says savvy is the type to give out apples
Speaker 1: or pennies.
Speaker 6: Apples are mine and Patty's will make a real big comeback.
Speaker 3: I'm sure.
Speaker 6: But last year I ran out of candy and I
Speaker 6: had I'm not kidding, like thirty individual two saltine cracker
Speaker 6: and so I just put that in the bowl, and
Speaker 6: to my surprise when I got back, only two had
Speaker 6: been taken.
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm just astonished.
Speaker 6: I have slap bracelets, I have those sticky hands, I
Speaker 6: have stickers.
Speaker 3: What year is it? Give me slap bracelets and sticky hands?
Speaker 3: Adults love slap bracelets? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: The adults don't even really come up to our house
Speaker 1: over here.
Speaker 2: They usually stay on the street.
Speaker 6: Asy way, we live close enough that it's going to
Speaker 6: start going over there to your street, and you'll see
Speaker 6: how many adults come up.
Speaker 1: I have seen the adults on Halloween, and by the way,
Speaker 1: calm down with this. I've seen the adults getting a
Speaker 1: little ask you where they'll be like, oh no, nobody
Speaker 1: on this block was offering free white claws.
Speaker 2: It was like, okay, all right, this.
Speaker 1: Is a fairly we coming on that's going on here.

Speaker 1: you doing some, including Casey, who emails tips at the

Speaker 1: my neighborhood. And oh my no.
Speaker 2: It's not. This is fake, you liar.
Speaker 3: Want to see this is over road bridge.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was somebody on the news this morning that
Speaker 4: was like live broadcasting from in front of a road
Speaker 4: that looked like that.
Speaker 1: A complete collapse on this road. Yep, oh my god,
Speaker 1: all right, let me see there another one. Oh the
Speaker 1: car fell off.
Speaker 13: This is.
Speaker 1: So wow, Okay, well, I apologize. It looks it just looks.
Speaker 1: This looks like a horror movie. The road has opened
Speaker 1: up like a horror movie where you're walking down the road.
Speaker 1: Do you think you just fall into Planet Earth?
Speaker 2: Wow? Thank you for the photos.
Speaker 1: Appreciate that, Casey, and I apologize for calling you a
Speaker 1: liar because clearly you were not lying.
Speaker 2: That is how bad things were.
Speaker 1: When we come back, things will go into another direction
Speaker 1: because our friend Amy Kawfelt of Fox thirty five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll be hanging out with us.
Speaker 2: That's on the way.
Speaker 1: Momentarily after that, we've got another person in trouble for
Speaker 1: their Halloween display. What did they try? Third person in
Speaker 1: ten Days Dead at Walt Disney World.
Speaker 2: What happened there?
Speaker 1: That's just the beginning of it, because we are loaded
Speaker 1: up on a Monday, and that's coming up next. Done
Speaker 1: the news Junkie our favorite part of the week, many
Speaker 1: of us say, for Sea Lane not his favorite part.
Speaker 2: Of the week. Really stunning, what a liar.
Speaker 1: Everybody else wants to welcome Amy Coffel. Everybody, everybody but Sealane,
Speaker 1: because you know, I just heard the most rude interaction.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Amy coff just dragging some more commercials.
Speaker 2: It's cool.
Speaker 1: I'll just dragon, we have a star on the line.
Speaker 2: Sea Lane. Just let the dead air roll.
Speaker 1: If she's talking to you, don't go, I gotta cut
Speaker 1: you off, Amy.
Speaker 3: So then I just remember this moment when you're finalizing
Speaker 3: the roast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Amy Kaffett was telling Sea Lane about how
Speaker 1: all this flooding has affected her, and she was sharing
Speaker 1: a nice personal story with him because she cares about
Speaker 1: things like that, and goes, I gotta cut you off.
Speaker 1: We're coming back, Jesus.
Speaker 4: But I was trying to look from the other side
Speaker 4: of this glass.
Speaker 3: Oh, I just want to make sure on the air, look,
Speaker 3: look how quickly you threw you under the bus.
Speaker 6: All rights also noted.
Speaker 3: For the roast.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I guess so, Amy.
Speaker 1: You did see obviously just how bad things got from
Speaker 1: this little flash flood, the crazy storm.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, you guys.
Speaker 14: And this is what's so crazy is that that this
Speaker 14: emergency warning that went out last night, this flash flood
Speaker 14: warning they were seeing this is only like the second
Speaker 14: time that we've experienced that in Central Florida in recent memory,
Speaker 14: so it's a very rare occurrence.
Speaker 9: But the amount of rain that we.
Speaker 14: Got in Central Florida yesterday was insane, insane. So did
Speaker 14: we read off some of the numbers to you, because
Speaker 14: I was floored when I saw them this morning. So Eustace,
Speaker 14: which is located in Lake County, for those of your
Speaker 14: listeners who are outside of Florida, almost twenty inches of
Speaker 14: rain last night, nineteen.
Speaker 9: Point seven inches.
Speaker 14: Mount Dora, which is a beautiful little town, also in
Speaker 14: Lake County, sixteen point two inches. Port Saint John fifteen
Speaker 14: and a half inches of rain yesterday. Port Canaveral a
Speaker 14: little over fourteen inch of rain. Titus Fillet was also
Speaker 14: really badly hurt. So for those of your listeners, again
Speaker 14: who were outside of central Florida, the Space coast was
Speaker 14: hit really hard.
Speaker 9: So basically Titusville would.
Speaker 14: Be, you know where a lot of you know that
Speaker 14: we have space headquarters from Major Corpora.
Speaker 1: We had people checking in from Boynton Beach, West Palm,
Speaker 1: all the way up Zero, all the way up the
Speaker 1: coast saying it was pretty bad. There was a lot
Speaker 1: of rain, and you're.
Speaker 3: Talking when you say fourteen fifteen inches of rain.
Speaker 2: It wasn't even that.
Speaker 1: It was just spread out through the entirety of a
Speaker 1: twenty four hour span in the day.
Speaker 2: It was like the in a hands hour months.
Speaker 14: Like yeah, within all within like a couple hour time span.
Speaker 14: And then you know, then on top of that, of course,
Speaker 14: we haven't had any thunderstorms in a while, so I
Speaker 14: mean you could hear the thunder and the lightning and
Speaker 14: it was a little crazy, but these rain totals were shocking.
Speaker 14: We were talking to Brooks Garner about it this morning,
Speaker 14: our meteorologist, and he said, can you imagine if on Friday,
Speaker 14: if we knew this was going to happen, which we didn't,
Speaker 14: but we weren't the only ones.
Speaker 9: I mean, nobody was predicting this was going to happen.
Speaker 14: That if we had no and that was going to
Speaker 14: happen it can you imagine if we were telling viewers
Speaker 14: that they were going to get anywhere between fifteen and
Speaker 14: twenty inches of rain on Sunday, people would have been
Speaker 14: a full on pan.
Speaker 3: It would have been bonkers.
Speaker 6: And then just seeing the aftermath of it, and we
Speaker 6: were watching, I was ceiling and I both watching this morning.
Speaker 3: Sean was not by the way, I was getting ready
Speaker 3: for the show and.
Speaker 6: One of your field reporters and I'm sorry for blanking
Speaker 6: on her name right now? Was at that at the
Speaker 6: bridge that just or the road completely crumbled?
Speaker 3: Where was that.
Speaker 2: One right there?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 14: What was crazy about that? Sabrina And you guys are
Speaker 14: showing the picture. Thanks for pulling that up. There was
Speaker 14: a car flipped upside down right in the middle of that,
Speaker 14: you know, all you could like there it is. And
Speaker 14: I asked Marley, I was like, do they know whoever
Speaker 14: was in that car?
Speaker 9: Are they okay? Did they get out? She's like, yeah,
Speaker 9: I think so. And I'm like, oh my, can you
Speaker 9: imagine like that being you.
Speaker 2: I hope somebody checked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there's not somebody star.
Speaker 14: Flashers were on shwan, she said, asked that somebody did
Speaker 14: check that. Apparently there were some paramedics on the other
Speaker 14: side of the road and they.
Speaker 3: Went they put their hazards. She didn't that's crazy. It
Speaker 3: was a great joke, trust me.
Speaker 14: She didn't here and I just heard something about the
Speaker 14: carving up.
Speaker 2: She said.
Speaker 1: I love that they had the hazards on even though
Speaker 1: the car was upset.
Speaker 15: That.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So Hurricane Ian was the last one I remember
Speaker 6: to have, like at least in my area, which is
Speaker 6: very close to Lake Davis and Kaylee Wade View Park
Speaker 6: all that stuff that was like significant flooding.
Speaker 3: Was this more rain than that?
Speaker 14: So yeah, so this was more rain than Hurricane Milton,
Speaker 14: which would have been the last hurricane to wash out
Speaker 14: roads in that same area, both branch roads. So people
Speaker 14: who live in Lake County and are familiar were sort
Speaker 14: of this area where where that road was washed out.
Speaker 14: So yes, they are very familiar with the roads in
Speaker 14: that area. It's always the same roads, it seems like
Speaker 14: that they have issues with, and so yes, Hurricane Milton
Speaker 14: would have washed washed out some of these same roads,
Speaker 14: so they will quite literally be rebuilding rose they just fixed.
Speaker 2: Damn terrible.
Speaker 1: Somebody else says, we played a gig last night at
Speaker 1: Singer Island, you know where that's ad Sean. We saw
Speaker 1: this weather heading towards us and got everything undercover and
Speaker 1: for about two hours the rain was sideways. There were
Speaker 1: tables and chairs flying everywhere. It was like a mini hurricane.
Speaker 1: It was nuts. So yeah, it was pretty bad last night,
Speaker 1: which is is just crazy.
Speaker 2: A lot of people didn't really think that.
Speaker 1: They were going to have to prepare for this over
Speaker 1: the weekend, but now.
Speaker 9: Well we can't. Here's what we knew.
Speaker 14: So we knew that we have Hurricane Melissa to the
Speaker 14: south of US, and that we had this dry air
Speaker 14: from the north of US, and basically what happens is
Speaker 14: they were butting up against each other, which creates, you know,
Speaker 14: the phenomenon that we saw last night. But not to
Speaker 14: that extent did they realize that it would create that
Speaker 14: much of an issue. So we knew this cold front's
Speaker 14: coming in. That's why it's going to be so much
Speaker 14: cooler for Central Florida later this week. It's going to
Speaker 14: be amazing, by the way, Like I think the high
Speaker 14: on Thursday is gonna be like seventy one, which is
Speaker 14: crazy like Halloween, Like the kids aren't going to be
Speaker 14: all sweaty and their costumes is going to be beautiful.
Speaker 14: But unfortunately, in order to get to that great weather,
Speaker 14: we had to go through what we went through last night,
Speaker 14: and it's bad for a lot of people.
Speaker 9: So I feel bad for the folks who are dealing
Speaker 9: with the flooding.
Speaker 2: And now we got this storm.
Speaker 1: It's over like the islands, it's over Jamaica today. Hurricane Melissa,
Speaker 1: which is category five status I believe, and.
Speaker 9: Growing Sean getting stronger.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like it's maxed out hurricane basically headed for
Speaker 1: Jamaica at the moment, you know, right now that we're
Speaker 1: doing this show live, and obviously that's gonna be tough,
Speaker 1: you know What's kind of crazy though, They said Jamaica
Speaker 1: should prepare for twenty to thirty inches of rain, which
Speaker 1: is only a little bit more than we got in
Speaker 1: you know, just a.
Speaker 2: Couple of hours last night.
Speaker 1: But that storm afterwards, the meteorology team over at Fox
Speaker 1: thirty five, what are they suggesting we're looking at we're
Speaker 1: gonna have any impact Hurricane Alyssa.
Speaker 14: The only thing that we'll experience other than what we
Speaker 14: saw last night, just from it being close to us
Speaker 14: and butting up with that that the cool front from
Speaker 14: the north, well, we'll have more beach erosion, which we
Speaker 14: already have a lot, so that is not going to
Speaker 14: help with the beach erosion we already see. And and
Speaker 14: just like strong choppy waves, so you're don't want to
Speaker 14: stay out of the water, although at this point, you know,
Speaker 14: not a lot of people are still you know, hopping
Speaker 14: in the water at the beach.
Speaker 9: Maybe the surfers. That's about it.
Speaker 2: H Yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 1: The big question everybody's asking is who you're going to
Speaker 1: be for Halloween, Amy Cofell, I'm.
Speaker 9: Not dressing up. So it's like it's always the same.
Speaker 14: Like, so Colton's birthday is on the thirtieth and then
Speaker 14: Halloween's the next day, so he's gonna be fifteen this year,
Speaker 14: which this is actually a great debate, so I know
Speaker 14: it's crazy. So he's going to get his permit on
Speaker 14: Thursday or driving very single digits like so they well yeah, like,
Speaker 14: well so you guys, I've with you for what thirteen years?
Speaker 14: So that means like he would have been like like
Speaker 14: a baby baby. Yeah, brazy that was, but so so
Speaker 14: they changed the rules. So now in Florida, in order
Speaker 14: to get your permit, you have to take a six
Speaker 14: hour online class. Nick used to be I think it
Speaker 14: used to be four. I don't know what was it
Speaker 14: when you guys, do you remember.
Speaker 3: I just remember having to.
Speaker 1: Read the little booklet and then we would go and
Speaker 1: take the test.
Speaker 6: I don't remember if there was Sean was driving, he
Speaker 6: had to like wind it up right in the front
Speaker 6: with a crown.
Speaker 3: You need to move mine.
Speaker 1: It sounds old that I was born in the nineteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't that far in the Jesus I had.
Speaker 14: People say back in the nineteen hundred, I know it
Speaker 14: sounds terrible.
Speaker 4: I had for my permit was a test on the computer,
Speaker 4: but no driving. The license had the driving part right,
Speaker 4: I don't remember if I had to. I know I
Speaker 4: did a traffic class into the one where they it's
Speaker 4: like the improv comedy traffic class, which.
Speaker 3: I still have to use my tickets for that.
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know how much how much you're learning
Speaker 4: versus you know, just uh, just there to kind of
Speaker 4: get that that endorsement, get whatever signed off on while
Speaker 4: they tell.
Speaker 2: Jokes the whole time.
Speaker 3: The jokes really bad, by the way.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I should use that money to get some better
Speaker 6: old on.
Speaker 1: Are you here to tell me that they don't have
Speaker 1: high caliber comedians?
Speaker 2: A son of a bitch? Ain't that something?
Speaker 9: We had to take?
Speaker 14: It a full on class, like a driver's ed class.
Speaker 14: It was like mandatory. I grew up in Ohio, so
Speaker 14: like it was a full semester. And mister Brown, who
Speaker 14: was also the football coach, was the one who was
Speaker 14: about the class. Yeah that, but like I just feel like,
Speaker 14: I don't know, I don't feel like we do enough.
Speaker 14: And now there's like all these you know, distractions and
Speaker 14: kids are distracted by their phones and.
Speaker 9: The radio, and I don't know, it just like makes me.
Speaker 9: It makes me nervous.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I'm interested to hear that your son is even like
Speaker 1: eager to get the license because of some of the
Speaker 1: stuff we talked about last week where.
Speaker 2: They said so few of these people who are.
Speaker 1: Coming of age are actually making the effort to go
Speaker 1: try to do this to get their license.
Speaker 2: But it seems like he is.
Speaker 14: He'sazz but part of it is because he's been begging
Speaker 14: for an e bike or like a like an electric
Speaker 14: scooter for a while.
Speaker 9: And I'm like, because.
Speaker 14: I do the news and you guys know this, I'm
Speaker 14: adamant about not doing it because I mean, we do
Speaker 14: way too many stories, some of the worst dangerous they are. Yeah,
Speaker 14: so I'm like, now I'm like jaded. So he's really
Speaker 14: upset that he is not able to get one of those.
Speaker 14: So so then.
Speaker 4: You want to tell us some good news about electric
Speaker 4: scooter's mom, what's the good news?
Speaker 6: Or you can prank them and just buy him a
Speaker 6: helmet and then nothing, which.
Speaker 14: Like you know, Sabrina, would he keep the helmet?
Speaker 12: On.
Speaker 9: No, so that's why he's not getting one.
Speaker 1: I'm like, is he going to get a new car
Speaker 1: when he's sold out?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: No, it's all right, it'll still close.
Speaker 14: I told you very what happened when so Kate, my oldest,
Speaker 14: when she got her license, she totaled the car within
Speaker 14: one month of getting her turning sixteen. So she turned sixteen,
Speaker 14: she passed her she passed her driving test like it
Speaker 14: with one hundred percent flying colors, and then one month
Speaker 14: later the car was totaled. So so then so we bought
Speaker 14: her like a crappy car, which I don't know if
Speaker 14: I told you guys, this was so funny. She she's
Speaker 14: driving to school one day and she calls me and
Speaker 14: she's like all into tizzy and she's like, did you
Speaker 14: know that.
Speaker 16: The hubcaps on this car are made out of plastic?
Speaker 16: And I'm like, yeah, I just hit a curb really
Speaker 16: hard and the hubcap came up and it shouted into
Speaker 16: a million pieces, and.
Speaker 9: So she was like all upset, and I was like, well,
Speaker 9: I was like, if you want to get.
Speaker 14: A new hubcap, you're gonna pay for that yourself.
Speaker 4: By just just calling you and immediately going did you
Speaker 4: know these hubcaps were plastic.
Speaker 3: And here's the thing that's not her first last.
Speaker 9: Her kids are spoiled.
Speaker 14: So that's why now they get crappy cars, and everybody
Speaker 14: gets a crappy car. And so she's she's had a
Speaker 14: crappy car for the last two years.
Speaker 6: And the car easily replaceable. You know that's an Amazon
Speaker 6: two day shipping.
Speaker 14: Yeah, but she was gonna have to pay for itself,
Speaker 14: so she never did. So all of her friends knew
Speaker 14: her car because it was the one with three.
Speaker 3: That's good, what's not either?
Speaker 1: So what said the budget your son gets for his car?
Speaker 1: Do you like to give him a budget he has
Speaker 1: to sail in?
Speaker 14: Well, no, I mean we're just gonna buy him a
Speaker 14: crappy car. Like you know, I love you get something, but.
Speaker 9: I mean safe.
Speaker 14: When I say crappy, I just mean it's not going
Speaker 14: to be like.
Speaker 9: Nice, it's not going to be new. Not one of
Speaker 9: those parents. It's going to like put a big on the.
Speaker 14: Car, showed like posted look at your sixteen video, Like
Speaker 14: that's not me.
Speaker 9: I'm not going to be doing that.
Speaker 1: Sabrina's got a Mazda. She's ready to retire and just
Speaker 1: send it out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, after I think it'll last all of three to
Speaker 6: five maybe seven more years, perfect and unless Kate drives
Speaker 6: it not plastic cub caps. You can see actually all
Speaker 6: the curves that I did hit because they yeah, you'll
Speaker 6: see it and anything.
Speaker 3: I was grabbing your attention out there.
Speaker 2: We need to know. Amy Coffel, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 14: You guys well the MCO we were having some again.
Speaker 14: This is for local listeners. The airport had a power
Speaker 14: outage this morning that affected the tram terminals A and B.
Speaker 9: I don't know if you guys are following that.
Speaker 14: I have a checked to see if it's back online.
Speaker 9: Hold on, I'll tell you.
Speaker 14: Let me see if they've updated it.
Speaker 9: And the answer is, let's see.
Speaker 1: Is this because of the government shutdown restored?
Speaker 9: Has now been restored.
Speaker 14: The baggage system and gate links have returned to normal operations.
Speaker 9: Thank you for your patients.
Speaker 14: So if you are heading to the airport today out
Speaker 14: of Orlando, just make sure you call ahead because it
Speaker 14: could have disrupted travel at least for a little bit
Speaker 14: while they try to get things back.
Speaker 9: Online and back together.
Speaker 14: Just one of those crazy days power outages at the airport.
Speaker 9: The flooding was significant.

Speaker 14: me I had breast cancer. Her name is Erica. She
Speaker 14: called from my doctor's office while I was at work.
Speaker 14: I stepped off the set. I told Danielle at the time,
Speaker 14: I said, if I don't come back to the set,
Speaker 14: it's because I have cancer.
Speaker 9: And so Erica was the one who told me.
Speaker 14: And she was amazing and she was all the things
Speaker 14: that you should be when you're telling somebody terrible news,
Speaker 14: and she was just empathetic and sweet and kind. She
Speaker 14: walked up to me on Saturday morning and she was
Speaker 14: wearing a survivor sash, and I said, oh my gosh,
Speaker 14: and she's yeah, I was diagnosed.

Speaker 3: People have up.

Speaker 1: gotten in trouble over their displays a dispatch. Let me see,
Speaker 1: we're gonna find this a photo dispatch over the weekend,
Speaker 1: and they said this one got the cops called on us,
Speaker 1: and we did not take it down.
Speaker 2: We kept it up.
Speaker 1: And it's what looks like a body that has been
Speaker 1: beheaded on their properties, surrounded by caution tape. Oh, you
Speaker 1: can see this over on the news junky dot com.
Speaker 1: Click of the dispatches section. You'll see this person's.
Speaker 3: Photot hear that nine one?
Speaker 6: I mean, will they go after one or they had
Speaker 6: like four calls?
Speaker 1: I think this is going to Yeah, this is going
Speaker 1: to cause a lot of people to call it. It
Speaker 1: looks like a person's head has exploded on a picture, now, right,
Speaker 1: ken Ye?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt so.
Speaker 1: I mean it it's pretty it's pretty good. Like it's
Speaker 1: a pretty scary, spooky thing. And I get why people
Speaker 1: would call the cops or whatever.
Speaker 2: But he says he kept it up.
Speaker 1: He wasn't going to let them spook him into taking
Speaker 1: it down for Halloween.
Speaker 2: And he's not alone.
Speaker 1: There's other people getting pressured out there. There's one from
Speaker 1: CBS twelve and they said, these folks put up a
Speaker 1: Halloween display. The neighbors are upset, and it's because it's
Speaker 1: strip club themed. They have, like the skeletons out there.
Speaker 3: On the program before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but the neighbors do not. They did not
Speaker 1: like it. They were upset about this.
Speaker 4: I don't know if just skeletons have gotten cheaper or
Speaker 4: what like, maybe not the the twelve foot one that
Speaker 4: I have. I've driven by some houses where people have
Speaker 4: like double digit amounts of skeletons in all different kinds
Speaker 4: of different poses and parties. And uh, somebody that's kind
Speaker 4: of near Sabrina has a whole Taylor Swift setup. It's
Speaker 4: been big. They keep adding on to it. Now. Now
Speaker 4: the Kelsey brothers are part of it too.
Speaker 3: Oh correct, I mean I was.
Speaker 2: They're hosted.
Speaker 4: They're hosting the Dead podcast in the Frights or whatever.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: It's so people go to elaborate lengths. Now they want
Speaker 1: to have fun little displays.
Speaker 3: In their yard.
Speaker 2: I think that's fun. I think.
Speaker 1: And are you going to say, because there's like a
Speaker 1: skeleton going around a stripper pole, that's going to corrupt
Speaker 1: the whole neighborhood. These are not our actual problems, folks.
Speaker 3: Asking about it. It's like they can only do that
Speaker 3: because they're dead.
Speaker 4: Skeletons don't have boobies. This is the email I guess
Speaker 4: that started.
Speaker 1: It says, Hello, I wanted to bring something to your
Speaker 1: attention that's become a major concern in our Miniola neighborhood.
Speaker 1: A house in the Hills of Minneola Subdivision has a
Speaker 1: Halloween display that depicts skeletons in a strip club style scene,
Speaker 1: complete with a pole and suggestive poses.
Speaker 3: Suggestive poses. There's skeletons.
Speaker 1: It's not like there's boobs hanging out or too much
Speaker 1: ass showing. There are skeletons. This is not your average
Speaker 1: spooky decor. It's clearly adult themed, and it's located on
Speaker 1: a front porch in full view of families and school
Speaker 1: aged children who walk by every day on their way
Speaker 1: to and from school.
Speaker 6: Well, don't worry, they're not looking at the skeletons. They're
Speaker 6: looking at their phone that has far more graphic material
Speaker 6: on it.
Speaker 1: Certainly many of us in the neighborhood field this crosses
Speaker 1: the line of what's appropriate.
Speaker 2: Let's see. I want to see some more details on
Speaker 2: this such she said.
Speaker 7: It's not your typical spooky decor. This one's got skeletons
Speaker 7: and suggestive poses a poll and it's all out in
Speaker 7: the open where kids walk to school. Ooh, we had
Speaker 7: to come see it for ourselves. Now I'm here to
Speaker 7: figure out what this means for this family focused community
Speaker 7: and where the line gets drawn between Halloween fun and
Speaker 7: what's appropriate in neighborhoods like this. Gabriella, who lives right
Speaker 7: across the street, says she sees it is all in
Speaker 7: good fun.
Speaker 2: Well, she's going way up there.
Speaker 1: Okay, this this lady runs up on the people's patio.
Speaker 1: I guess she's friends with them, and she's like, I'm
Speaker 1: supportive of it. I'm fine, and she starts dancing around
Speaker 1: this tripper pole herself. I don't know she's been wine
Speaker 1: drinking during the day. I'll kick this back a second.
Speaker 1: Hang on, just in case you're missing.
Speaker 7: Unity and where the line gets drawn between Halloween fun
Speaker 7: and what's appropriate in neighborhoods like this.
Speaker 2: Here she goes.
Speaker 7: Gabriella, who lives right across the street, says she sees
Speaker 7: it is all in good fun.
Speaker 18: And they caught her in, she said to kids, and
Speaker 18: she does exactly that.
Speaker 1: She's got kids, and she says even her kids are
Speaker 1: excited about this strip club skeleton set up this.
Speaker 7: Lady no problem for us, But not everyone in the
Speaker 7: neighborhood agrees.
Speaker 3: In the anonymous tip.
Speaker 7: We found heated debates on the neighborhood's social media page.
Speaker 7: One poster said, I don't see stripping as art, whether
Speaker 7: it's skeletons or cartoons. I wouldn't want my kids exposed
Speaker 7: as sexual innuendos. Another responded, if you want to see
Speaker 7: it as sexual, that's your take. Does it show the
Speaker 7: skeleton removing clothes?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's literally a skeleton.
Speaker 1: Everybody like, you can't really do much with them that
Speaker 1: would be out of line unless they're.
Speaker 4: You know, they're set up like a mop mop scenario
Speaker 4: between two skeletons or full human centipede or something like.
Speaker 3: Also just bones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just not offensive to me, per but people
Speaker 1: will go, this is a family neighborhood, Okay, calm down.
Speaker 1: You take yourself so seriously, for God's sake.
Speaker 7: How do you know if it's a female or male skeleton.
Speaker 7: Another neighbor said, we live here too, this is very inappropriate.
Speaker 7: One resident even contacted the homeowners association, which replied, unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Fire can anything about it.
Speaker 1: I like how the HOA says, Unfortunately, we can't do
Speaker 1: anything about this unless you'd like to give us more
Speaker 1: power in your neighborhood, and then we can slam these
Speaker 1: folks down and shut down all these spooky strip club
Speaker 1: skeleton displays.
Speaker 7: Halloween decorations are allowed, and residents can put up whatever
Speaker 7: holiday decorations they prefer. The HOA advised that the offended
Speaker 7: neighbors should wait until Halloween is over next weekend, when
Speaker 7: the display will come down will While Gabriella says she's
Speaker 7: more worried about the scary, gory displays than this one.
Speaker 10: I'm afraid the one they put a lot of some
Speaker 10: scared things with no head.
Speaker 2: But this is so fun, Gabriella. Gabriella is fun, the
Speaker 2: hidden star of this, this entire ordeal.
Speaker 1: She's fine, she's good, you know, she's saying, like, guys,
Speaker 1: what are you being so serious about? And I agree
Speaker 1: with her. I agree. This is sort of like next
Speaker 1: door material, where people post on next door and they.
Speaker 4: Go, we can't take this in our neighborhood, and you go, god,
Speaker 4: what like there are problems in every neighborhood. There are
Speaker 4: major issues. This is not one of them. This is
Speaker 4: not one of them.
Speaker 1: People get upset about the dumbest things.
Speaker 4: What pun do you think the news station used to
Speaker 4: headline this story? The skeletons are involved, seeming like the
Speaker 4: neighbors have a little bit of a problem.
Speaker 1: Maybe skeletons in their closet.
Speaker 2: No bone bone man, Well there you go. It's what's
Speaker 2: happening in those neighborhoods.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that when the skeletons come down for Halloween,
Speaker 4: they just put up a nice busty Missus claw.
Speaker 2: Just grinding on.
Speaker 4: Santa's lap or something.
Speaker 1: But there are so many we have real problems. These
Speaker 1: are not real problems a skeleton and on a strip
Speaker 1: club setup. I have not not problems in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: But I just have curiosities in my neighborhood. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I got there's a thing going on in my neighborhood.
Speaker 2: I'll be quick.
Speaker 1: We keep seeing it every weekend.
Speaker 2: Maybe you guys know what the hell this is.
Speaker 1: They rent out one pavilion at the park near us
Speaker 1: and I think they're all adults and they just rave,
Speaker 1: They spin around and park.
Speaker 2: Graves are a thing.
Speaker 3: Nobody told their music.
Speaker 1: There's music, but it's like, at such a reasonable level, I.
Speaker 3: Can afford to rent out a club.
Speaker 6: So it's like, we have this for one hour, and
Speaker 6: it's just fifty dollars towards the city and the upkeep
Speaker 6: of said park.
Speaker 3: So let's do a kind of silent ish rave.
Speaker 1: Everybody's like keeping things clean, but they're out there spinning
Speaker 1: things around.
Speaker 4: I mean, I thought you couldn't even rent out that
Speaker 4: kind of stuff. Isn't all the park stuff shut down?
Speaker 4: Because it was, but it's not at night.
Speaker 1: No, this park is like a local park, so I
Speaker 1: think it's not affected by that. But it's not even
Speaker 1: at nice during the day on weekends, and they're just
Speaker 1: very quietly sitting in there one thing, and but the
Speaker 1: music is not really loud.
Speaker 3: You guys ready for the base to drop.
Speaker 1: And they're all out there kind of like it's like
Speaker 1: a little electric daisy carnival, like an acoustic daisy carnival,
Speaker 1: and there. I don't if you know what's going on
Speaker 1: with that, Please tell me. I'm very curious. I know
Speaker 1: probably would have I'm not invited.
Speaker 3: Have you considered putting our next door?
Speaker 1: No, because then I don't know what is the thing
Speaker 1: that's going on I.
Speaker 4: Don't want to be that guy. I'm I don't even
Speaker 4: chime in on these things.
Speaker 1: Okay, when we come back to the next episode, wins Now,
Speaker 1: what's coming up on the next episode?

Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, he ran into that whole tree thing.
Speaker 2: That was not good.
Speaker 3: Not for seventy eight and.
Speaker 6: Then, oddly enough, also on this day, the anniversary of

Speaker 1: Like they make sense together. I guess a little bit.
Speaker 1: He looks like, oh god, he looks a bit like
Speaker 1: the food Fighters guy.
Speaker 3: No, Dave grows older brother.
Speaker 1: He looks like Dave GROW's other older brother a little.

Speaker 6: Now play the footage of him singing at that weird
Speaker 6: Trump rally.
Speaker 2: No, that wasn't good. He was he was not on
Speaker 2: key there.
Speaker 6: According to reports and the hashtag for you Wendy continues,
Speaker 6: Wendy Williams the Guardian is now being accused of draining
Speaker 6: her as she reportedly never knew she was paying twenty
Speaker 6: five thousand dollars a month in rent at the assisted
Speaker 6: living facility all right, which is bunkers she publicly deemed
Speaker 6: a luxury luxury dump, which I believe I had one
Speaker 6: of those this weekend. Instead, she reportedly thought the rent
Speaker 6: was just eighteen thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 2: It's still quite expensive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, some people don't make that.
Speaker 6: In several months, but according to page six, the former
Speaker 6: TUK show host found out how much she was actually
Speaker 6: paying for assisted living facility apartment through her own press
Speaker 6: coverage so still gets access to the news, and told
Speaker 6: the publication that she has so far removed from the
Speaker 6: details about her own finances, that she thought this luxury
Speaker 6: dump was eighteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: You know, I never watched that documentary that she put
Speaker 1: out set.
Speaker 3: It's on the queue, in the queue.
Speaker 1: I don't have enough, Like I don't have a solid
Speaker 1: idea of where she at and where she's at and
Speaker 1: what's wrong with her and you know what's going on there.
Speaker 6: There've been like a couple of interviews where some people
Speaker 6: that are not use her show because I watched a
Speaker 6: lot of it during COVID that was the go to
Speaker 6: at ten AM, and I would at least see the
Speaker 6: first two segments. And her crazy eyes have always been there.
Speaker 6: You know that she's always been a little bit different.
Speaker 6: Then you get the interviews with her and they're like,
Speaker 6: clearly she needs to be an assisted living like Wendy
Speaker 6: has been this way the whole time.
Speaker 3: And twenty five thousand dollars a month is bunkers.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know enough about it, but I know they
Speaker 1: tried to free Brittany and that doesn't seem to have
Speaker 1: played out well.
Speaker 3: So it's fine.
Speaker 2: Fred tread lightly is what I would suggest.
Speaker 6: From this time to be a flying So let's just
Speaker 6: get this out of the way. A lot of Halloween
Speaker 6: themed stuff come in our way and just let you
Speaker 6: know if you find yourself in Simi.
Speaker 3: Valley, Simmy, Simmy, that's how am I?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Simmi Valley, California. To be exact, the actor who
Speaker 6: plays the Sun in Poltergeist is gonna be handing out
Speaker 6: candy dude trick or treet does at the actual house
Speaker 6: of the Poltergeist, which is all that's kind. His name
Speaker 6: is Oliver Robbins. He played Robbie Freeling. He's the kid
Speaker 6: that gets attacked by his own clown doll.
Speaker 2: You remember that, right, I have not seen Poltergeist.
Speaker 4: Oh I don't know if I've seen it a long
Speaker 4: time ago.

Speaker 6: What a great opportunity to just allow it to be
Speaker 6: the spot for other perhaps films or done to the
Speaker 6: Dead fourteen, but instead it has been announced that they
Speaker 6: are completely destroying it.
Speaker 4: They should keep around one mall in like Hollywood, that
Speaker 4: is just for doing these kind of come to Central Florida.
Speaker 6: We got four of them that no one goes to.
Speaker 6: Sure fifty years ago, George A. Romero forever immortalized Pennsylvania's
Speaker 6: Monroeville Mall as a piece of horror history. And Walmart's like,
Speaker 6: we'll take it, and they're going to demolish it. It
Speaker 6: is part of a thirty four million dollar deal. And

Speaker 1: call me William. I just did to tips of the
Speaker 1: news Chunky does okay. I'm a Titus Phlle resident. This
Speaker 1: was like Hurricane Heleen and Milton in three hours. There's
Speaker 1: some tree downs in my yard, or trees down rather
Speaker 1: in my yard. I help my neighbor to cut the
Speaker 1: tree and remove it from the road. The second photo
Speaker 1: is where water got near my front door.
Speaker 2: Many in the neighborhood were fully flooded.
Speaker 1: This was the most insane thing I've seen, and I
Speaker 1: lived in Florida since I was born in nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1: This could be described as biblical, but I'm not religious,
Speaker 1: says William. Final note, I love all you do my
Speaker 1: best to listen every day. Join the news junkie discord.
Speaker 4: I yell, it is the best discord, he says William
Speaker 4: in Titusville.
Speaker 2: Thank you, William. Let's see how close this water got.
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't look very dramatic in this photo,
Speaker 1: but I could see yeah, I could see where the
Speaker 1: water was up here, closer to your house.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 1: The other photo was way more shocking of the road
Speaker 1: opening up and eating cars.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that guy may have won your inbox for
Speaker 4: the day. Yeah, yeah, this.
Speaker 3: Is everything that everything come.
Speaker 2: With the fire.
Speaker 3: If you're going after say, close fourteenth place.
Speaker 1: You yawn, sir, yawn, this is the get a broom
Speaker 1: in five minutes and we can clean this up here.
Speaker 2: But you're not very difficult.
Speaker 4: No, I'm sure you could call stuff biblical, even if
Speaker 4: you're not very religious. I think people would know what
Speaker 4: you're talking about. They're not gonna go what Lol, Sir,
Speaker 4: you said biblical includes you on your Jesus knowledge.
Speaker 6: Unless you're referring to Noah's arc. I mean, that's a
Speaker 6: significant difference between a little dirt on the porch.
Speaker 2: Somebody else says they want to stay anonymous.
Speaker 3: Am I right? Catholics?
Speaker 2: And they sent this over? Is this real? It seems fake.
Speaker 1: It says for Sabrina and it's a funding website and
Speaker 1: it says bring movie people closer to the movies they love.
Speaker 1: It's a movie Pass company funding thing.
Speaker 2: But this must go fund me for movie Pass.
Speaker 3: Yeah enough, thank you. It says now, it says it
Speaker 3: started here.
Speaker 1: This must be fake though it says this raised nine
Speaker 1: point one million dollars of ten million dollars, there's no way.
Speaker 3: There's no Movie Pass.
Speaker 1: Original co founders Stacy Spikes bought Movie Pass back from
Speaker 1: private equi ownership. Epic turnaround story featured in the HBO
Speaker 1: original documentary produced by Mark Wohlberg. Thirteen million dollars an
Speaker 1: annual recurring revenue, a two point eight million movie visits,
Speaker 1: books and three launch and oh, I guess you could
Speaker 1: just like invest in the company or something.
Speaker 3: This seems weird. That's weird.
Speaker 1: I mean nine point one million people or nine one
Speaker 1: one million dollars that people have given for this?
Speaker 2: What do I get? What's an investor per.
Speaker 6: I don't know, because when that first thing came out,
Speaker 6: though it screwed everybody over, why would anyone invest in this?
Speaker 1: Well, this is somebody new who's bought it over, and
Speaker 1: now they want to get people back into the company,
Speaker 1: which no, the.
Speaker 2: First time around was quite bad. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's for that to spand please, I'll.
Speaker 1: Try to see what you get if you put some
Speaker 1: money forward. And it's like very very long this whole thing,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't tell me what I go. Okay, invest
Speaker 1: in Movie Pass. If you spend more than a quarter
Speaker 1: million dollars, you get the CEOs as a featured guest
Speaker 1: speaker at your company conference or private event in the studio.
Speaker 1: Team Perks, which is dinner in a movie with the
Speaker 1: CEO in New York City or LA and executive producer
Speaker 1: per which is an invitation to Urban World twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six is a VIP.
Speaker 4: Guests donate one hundred thousand dollars and they won't even
Speaker 4: give you the transportation to have the dinner in a movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these suck. I guess people are donating. All right,
Speaker 1: check it out. Wefunder dot com is the website.
Speaker 3: Check it out.
Speaker 1: Do you know when we come back, we got to
Speaker 1: get to the Disney World drama. The deaths are piling
Speaker 1: up all of a sudden. What's happening there? Is this
Speaker 1: actually their fault in any way? And also the food
Speaker 1: stabs drama that's building up as we approach November. First,
Speaker 1: how many people are going to be affected by this?
Speaker 1: What's really going to happen? All of that on the
Speaker 1: way and the drama around it is coming up next
Speaker 1: on the News Chunkie and no, I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: the roast. That will be uh fun news for a
Speaker 1: small amount of people. Our exclusive event is coming up
Speaker 1: with a bit. Lexi emails about this. Hey, junkies, so
Speaker 1: excited for the roast. October thirtieth is our wedding anniversary
Speaker 1: and there's no other way we'd want to celebrate sweet.
Speaker 1: This will also be our first News Junkie event. We've

Speaker 1: show I love you guys, can't wait for hilarious evening
Speaker 1: and to finally experience the community in person. You're the
Speaker 1: best and a genuine light of enjoyment every day, says Lexi.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, LEXI appreciate that.
Speaker 1: A different angle here with a doubt who emails tips
Speaker 1: through the show, so I would never go to that
Speaker 1: rose this versus says, Hey, Jean, I just wanted to
Speaker 1: share my flowney story.
Speaker 3: Okay, I already know where those are, folks.
Speaker 2: I already know.
Speaker 1: I broke my nose twenty five years ago, and after
Speaker 1: a botch surgery to fix it, I was always congested,
Speaker 1: so I use nasal spray every day for a few years.
Speaker 1: Now I have permanent nerve. Dam I'm jim My nose track.
Speaker 1: I have lost just about all of my sense of smell,
Speaker 1: and I could barely taste food flavors. It blows no
Speaker 1: pun intended, So be careful with that stuff, he says,
Speaker 1: all right, I will, I will try. I mean, I
Speaker 1: just I got the allergies, no matter what I got them.
Speaker 2: It's bad. It's bad, and I got.
Speaker 1: To fight them off and that helps me get through
Speaker 1: the show without like every three seconds or so. But
Speaker 1: I appreciate the email. I appreciate the thoughts. So we
Speaker 1: were talking about this, and this is kind of crazy
Speaker 1: to me, especially said somebody just posted in chat. I
Speaker 1: made twenty four thousand dollars last year and I didn't
Speaker 1: get any of these snap food stamps. How to that person,
Speaker 1: how is it because somebody else in your house made
Speaker 1: a bunch of money, Because it seems like that would
Speaker 1: be the qualification.
Speaker 2: For you, see like look at look up, let's go Florida, just.
Speaker 1: To be particular, because it's gonna be I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna vary a little bit, or it's.
Speaker 2: A National Plan.
Speaker 1: Look up SNAP requirements, Snap food stamp requirements.
Speaker 2: And we'll get to that at a moment.
Speaker 1: Because the government shutdown is going to have its first
Speaker 1: big impact here really, and that is that people will
Speaker 1: stop getting their food stamps on November first. And if
Speaker 1: you go to the USDA website, they got another one
Speaker 1: of these alerts up to talk about the government shutdown,
Speaker 1: and this says Senate Democrats have now voted twelve times
Speaker 1: to not fund the food stamp program, also known as
Speaker 1: the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP.
Speaker 3: Bottom line, the well is what run dry.
Speaker 1: At this time. There will be no benefits issued November first.
Speaker 1: We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats, this
Speaker 1: message says. Obviously, this is from the Trump White House.
Speaker 1: They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal
Speaker 1: aliens and gender mutilation procedures, or reopen the government so mothers, babies,
Speaker 1: and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance.
Speaker 1: Says this message from the USDA, which is obviously you
Speaker 1: know that polytical in nature, and from the Trump's White House.
Speaker 1: We're going to see who everybody blames for this. I
Speaker 1: know that there was another attempt to get the funding
Speaker 1: to stretch out a little bit to make sure that
Speaker 1: federal employees were paid and that they were getting their paychecks.
Speaker 1: But they just couldn't get the votes for it. And
Speaker 1: it's not the Republicans who aren't voting for this. The
Speaker 1: argument comes down to two things, all right, If you
Speaker 1: want to know who to blame in these situations, the
Speaker 1: argument comes down to do you think that the minority party,
Speaker 1: which in Congress at the moment is the Democrats. Do
Speaker 1: you think that they should utilize this moment to try
Speaker 1: to work through things that they want changed, that they
Speaker 1: should utilize this to try to fight for the people
Speaker 1: that voted for them, or do you think it's more
Speaker 1: important that they keep the funding going for the government
Speaker 1: and for people on these plans. And your decision on
Speaker 1: how you feel about that is going to judge how
Speaker 1: this whole thing is is treated, because now you'll have
Speaker 1: a lot of people who won't get these food stamps,
Speaker 1: and the numbers are insane. Most people don't know this,
Speaker 1: but food stamps in Snap it's it's.
Speaker 2: Forty million Americans.
Speaker 1: Forty million, right, that's about twelve percent of Americans get
Speaker 1: these SNAP benefits, these food stamps money and other things
Speaker 1: that they are able to get payments and such to
Speaker 1: buy groceries and food for their families. So that's a
Speaker 1: lot of people. Forty million people or twelve percent of
Speaker 1: the public. It helps. This is about one in every
Speaker 1: eight Americans. It helps them buy groceries.
Speaker 3: I mean that's a lot.
Speaker 6: And then even if they use every single dollar that
Speaker 6: they have left this next round, I mean, what does
Speaker 6: that even mean? You can't even stock up for the
Speaker 6: time that you don't have snap benefits.
Speaker 1: Well, they don't know when they're going to solve this.
Speaker 1: You have no idea when they're going to solve this.
Speaker 1: And this is some people get like a small amount
Speaker 1: of money. Some people heavily rely on it. To get
Speaker 1: all the arguments in here so everybody feels represented. There
Speaker 1: are many people who think there are way too many
Speaker 1: people on these food stamp programs, and with forty million
Speaker 1: people on these programs, you're probably right. You're probably right
Speaker 1: that there's some people who should be further looked at
Speaker 1: and find out if they're the best people to be
Speaker 1: in these programs or if they're taking advantage of it.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you a lot of these people are young, poor, families. Okay,
Speaker 1: And even when we first had Dylan, I have a
Speaker 1: job barely at the time, I think I was just
Speaker 1: like interning at the rock radio station. And for Dylan,
Speaker 1: his mother was on food stamp benefits for like six
Speaker 1: months or a year or something like that.
Speaker 2: So a lot of people who are.
Speaker 1: Young end up with kids they need help getting money.
Speaker 1: I personally think that all of these things should be
Speaker 1: regulated in such a way that you make sure you
Speaker 1: know the amount of income these people are making. You
Speaker 1: make sure that they're actively searching for employment if they
Speaker 1: are employable people. You make sure that there aren't people
Speaker 1: just taking advantage and squeezing off the government teat to
Speaker 1: try to get as much as they can. But on
Speaker 1: the other hand, it's an important resource for a whole
Speaker 1: lot of people, people who aren't as fortunate as you
Speaker 1: or I, who legitimately are trying their best, some of
Speaker 1: them and they end up needing a little bit more assistance.
Speaker 1: But it says, bottom line, the well has run dry.
Speaker 1: So did you find out what the requirements are for that?
Speaker 4: So there's some work rules you must meet general work
Speaker 4: requirements for snap unless exempt such as being unable to work,
Speaker 4: caring for young children or incapacitated persons, or being a student.
Speaker 4: You have to have all this training program blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: But the biggest thing is the income. Right, most households
Speaker 4: must pass a gross income limit less than or equal
Speaker 4: to two hundred percent of the federal poverty level. The
Speaker 4: special poverty level is currently fifteen six hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: So okay, so it's about thirty grand household revenue. I
Speaker 1: mean that for an entire household. That's not that much money.
Speaker 1: It's it's really not thirty grand for a household. Now
Speaker 1: do you have some people who cheat on this and
Speaker 1: then they take more than they should? Yes, I unfortunately
Speaker 1: think those people become a representation of other folks who
Speaker 1: I care about that end up losing money in situations
Speaker 1: like this, like we always take the person who pulls
Speaker 1: up to the food bank and the Mercedes and you know,
Speaker 1: is fully capable of getting a job if they weren't
Speaker 1: pretending to have lime disease or whatever. That person always
Speaker 1: becomes the representation of these things. And then when you
Speaker 1: go through poor neighborhoods, you see sometimes that there are
Speaker 1: people that are like, oh, shoot, this is where this
Speaker 1: money actually goes a.
Speaker 6: Lot of time, and are the kids at school that
Speaker 6: they can barely afford lunch and even with the programs,
Speaker 6: it's the only meal of the day, and that that
Speaker 6: should be the representation of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just just most people end up
Speaker 1: going like, there's two forty million people is a lot
Speaker 1: of people, right, So people go, there's too many people
Speaker 1: taking this money and it's not the social safety net
Speaker 1: that it's intended to be, and that that isn't fair
Speaker 1: to the people who actually need this. But we also
Speaker 1: shouldn't just say like all of these people are money
Speaker 1: grubbing losers who just can't get a job or aren't
Speaker 1: trying hard.
Speaker 5: Up.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of people, forty million people. What do
Speaker 1: you think is going to happen here? And if you're
Speaker 1: in one of these situations where this affects you, let
Speaker 1: us know. I know they're trying to prepare a lot
Speaker 1: of the food banks and stuff in different areas where
Speaker 1: people go and lean on these more private programs when
Speaker 1: they're not getting these checks. Will the Senate Democrats hold out?
Speaker 1: Will they feel some pressure and collapse? I literally have
Speaker 1: no idea how long this government shutdown is going to
Speaker 1: last for as long as these people think it's politically feasible.
Speaker 1: I think it could go on for a while, but
Speaker 1: as of November one, now, those food stamp funds will
Speaker 1: dry up. So let us know if you're impacted by this.
Speaker 1: Tips at the Newsjunkie dot Com. Over in Jamaica, Hurricane
Speaker 1: Melissa beginning to show some impact.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, winds a whip it up.
Speaker 2: A nice resort right here.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm looking at, but it's quite nice,
Speaker 1: huge huge pool, but they're palm trees are starting to
Speaker 1: get some wind and rain from Hurricane Melissa.
Speaker 3: Category Rye, It's take it a long time.
Speaker 1: It looks like it's you can't really tell too much
Speaker 1: because there's a building in the way, but from what
Speaker 1: I'm looking at, it looks like there's some real bad
Speaker 1: weather starting to kick through. All bring up some more
Speaker 1: clips and whatnot throughout the show and put the real
Speaker 1: good stuff over on see it now.
Speaker 4: We were talking about this last night and because Ashley
Speaker 4: had seen some some tiktoks and stuff from people that
Speaker 4: were at sandals locations in Jamaica and those are getting
Speaker 4: ready to like shut down and have to ride out
Speaker 4: this storm. And stuff, and somebody goes, well, I bet.
Speaker 4: I mean it might not be the worst thing in
Speaker 4: the world to be at an all inclusive during the hurricane.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm pretty sure they stop including stuff. No,
Speaker 4: when they stop including the stuff, you know, they're not
Speaker 4: stacking the empty shot glasses on their heads and dancing
Speaker 4: to reggae when the hurricane is coming through. I think
Speaker 4: you're just getting cold sandwiches with a ride out crew
Speaker 4: if you're stuck there.
Speaker 1: I want to go to that barbecue place that they
Speaker 1: had in Sandals, Jamaica, the jerk Shack. Baby, don't shut
Speaker 1: down the jerk Shack just because it's getting a little
Speaker 1: windy or rainy.
Speaker 2: I cannot deal with that. Fred.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are chiming in over on chat.
Speaker 1: Jeffrey says, I hope the Democrats hold out. A line
Speaker 1: needs to be drawn of the Republicans need to be
Speaker 1: held accountable for this nonsense. I don't know what he
Speaker 1: means by this nonsense, but that's what he says. Buzz
Speaker 1: says they're going to get rid of the benefits whether
Speaker 1: the Democrats hold out or not, So they better hold
Speaker 1: out or they don't have a spine. Boy I think
Speaker 1: a lot of these things are definitely said from the
Speaker 1: position of somebody who's not probably relying on these benefits.
Speaker 1: If you are, like, if you have so little extra
Speaker 1: money coming into your household and some kids to feed
Speaker 1: and stuff, and I got it, you could say like,
Speaker 1: well you shouldn't had kids, shouldn't I know, I know
Speaker 1: you could do all those things. But this is where
Speaker 1: we find ourselves. So we have to work within these
Speaker 1: you know, these the scenario that we call reality. And
Speaker 1: if you think that's the case, I think playing politics
Speaker 1: with those people in their situation is not super It's
Speaker 1: not fair to them. But yeah, I mean a lot
Speaker 1: of very political people be like, hell yeah, we got
Speaker 1: to hold them accountable.
Speaker 2: Somebody.
Speaker 3: Uh, we'll see how it plays out for you.
Speaker 4: Somebody on the texting service says, in all caps, every
Speaker 4: other shutdown in history of food stamps were funded.
Speaker 2: Is that true? I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I know we have had other shutdowns in history. In
Speaker 1: this case, all of the Republicans are voting to continue
Speaker 1: funding the government and three, I don't know if any
Speaker 1: more than three in Senate. Three of the Senate Democrats
Speaker 1: have decided to vote with Republicans. They can't get any
Speaker 1: more Republicans, So either they push this through and get
Speaker 1: a couple more votes to push the funding through and
Speaker 1: then this whole thing is alleviated, or they keep going
Speaker 1: and these Democrats hold out, so we gotta take it
Speaker 1: to them. I say, you lost the election.
Speaker 4: Okay, there are consequences to losing elections. You could say
Speaker 4: hold on, stay strong, and all of that stuff. I
Speaker 4: would say, probably it would be best just to keep
Speaker 4: funding going for poor people in the meantime and then
Speaker 4: try to see what you could do in the midterm elections.
Speaker 2: This is just a very I don't know.
Speaker 1: It seems like stage kids at work. It seems like
Speaker 1: a very performative move, which I don't like because people
Speaker 1: actually get impacted by it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're I'm saying that during the twenty thirteen shutdown
Speaker 6: that the USDA was able to use contingency funds to
Speaker 6: keep snap benefits flowing. This was not guaranteed for the
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five shutdown that threatened the November benefits. Obviously,
Speaker 6: pressure was put on states. Benefits were not reduced, but
Speaker 6: were delayed, and states had to scrambled to cover costs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, certain states are saying that they're going to try
Speaker 1: to abridge the gap, and certain states aren't talking about that.
Speaker 1: We're not even there yet. We've still got just short
Speaker 1: of a week or so before this actually hits, so
Speaker 1: maybe somebody will cave before that. It all seems kind
Speaker 1: of dumb. Poor people exist, no matter what some folks
Speaker 1: want to think. On the other hand, taking those poor
Speaker 1: people and going we're going to take a stand right now,
Speaker 1: we just make a deal.
Speaker 2: For God's sake. You're not going to get the world.
Speaker 1: You're not going to get a Christmas list of your
Speaker 1: political wishes. You didn't win the election. So the folks
Speaker 1: that are pushing that line and using these people as
Speaker 1: your collateral in the middle as kind of grows honestly.
Speaker 1: But we'll see what you have to say. Hit us
Speaker 1: with the dispatch. Tips at the news Junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Tips at the news Junkie dot com. All right, we
Speaker 1: got the Disney story coming up next. The third person
Speaker 1: in ten days has died at Disney World.
Speaker 2: How is this happening? What's going on?
Speaker 1: Will dive into these very very interesting stories and tell
Speaker 1: you what the details of this last one are that
Speaker 1: is coming up next to the news junkie. There is
Speaker 1: a bit of a mystery unfurling here, and it's now
Speaker 1: making notional and even international headlines because a third person
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks has died at Walt disney World,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: Which used to not be allowed.
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, that's like the biggest rumor ever,
Speaker 1: Like all I think all three of us have heard
Speaker 1: this when we were kids, right, nobody can die at
Speaker 1: Disney World, which I don't think was ever true.
Speaker 3: I think it's just like as ever died there.
Speaker 1: Like to me, I look at this and I go,
Speaker 1: three people have died in two weeks at disney World. Tragic, bad, right,
Speaker 1: But is it kind of inevitable? There's so many people
Speaker 1: at Disney World. There's a lot of people that are there.
Speaker 4: In one case, you have, you know, you have a
Speaker 4: death at like a music festival or something, and you go, well,
Speaker 4: the influx of people has taken this small farmland and
Speaker 4: just exponentially multiplied the number of people that are there.
Speaker 2: With that many people, it's found to be an accident.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's how many millions of people are on
Speaker 1: some Disney property every day. It has to be just
Speaker 1: absolute boatloads of human beings bigger than most cities every day.
Speaker 1: So like in any city, you're gonna have people who die,
Speaker 1: people who you know, unfortunately take their lives. And it's
Speaker 1: just the juxtaposition of Walt Disney World and bad That's
Speaker 1: that's what makes things newsworthy to people. The first story
Speaker 1: was about this woman who flew to Orlando and went
Speaker 1: to this hotel and then took our own life, which
Speaker 1: I said, is like, what are you thinking. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you want to off yourself, that's one thing, but.
Speaker 3: Like if you want to dumpy right or something.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: And in a place that's like known to be full
Speaker 1: of kids, you know, like people are complaining about skeletons
Speaker 1: doing strip teas dances for your Halloween display. This is
Speaker 1: the thing that is going to have an effect on
Speaker 1: anybody who happens to, God forbid see it. But that
Speaker 1: woman took her own life at Disney about a week
Speaker 1: ago plus.
Speaker 2: Then a man died who was at Oh, what's.
Speaker 1: What's the place called have all the like the camping
Speaker 1: and the cabins and stuff wilderness for Fort Wilderness. Yes,
Speaker 1: some guy was there and he just died. It was,
Speaker 1: you know, a terrible accident. He just died and Fort Wilderness,
Speaker 1: and now there's a third person that has died at
Speaker 1: Walt Disney World, the third in less than two weeks,
Speaker 1: and a chilling string of what they call fatalities.
Speaker 6: Is it we found out the actual numbers of people
Speaker 6: that died and mostly I imagine natural causes happenstance? Would it
Speaker 6: be a chilling string or technically statistically three possible?
Speaker 5: Guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think once in a while, I think it's like,
Speaker 1: look if old people, young people, you have sick people.
Speaker 1: There's so many people that go to this, it's going
Speaker 1: to happen.
Speaker 2: Fortunately.
Speaker 1: The thing is, there's rumors and I do not know
Speaker 1: if there's any truth to this that this also is
Speaker 1: a person taking their life at the contemporary resort on.
Speaker 2: Disney profit or property.
Speaker 1: They said something happened in the back of the building
Speaker 1: with crime scene tapes surrounding the water fountain.
Speaker 2: This is one of the people.
Speaker 3: Why are you choosing that as a ghost to spot.
Speaker 1: I don't know if somebody jumped or accidentally fell to
Speaker 1: their death, but something happened, and they have an employee
Speaker 1: at every single window to shield you from looking out
Speaker 1: in the back so you can't view said somebody on
Speaker 1: social media reacting to this. So I really think it's
Speaker 1: in many ways the media taking this story and turning
Speaker 1: it into a bit more of a fantasy that it
Speaker 1: needs to be on account of Disney's Attachment.
Speaker 6: Two airplane that was in January, February March, the quarter
Speaker 6: four hype.
Speaker 1: And I also I hesitate for anything like this to
Speaker 1: get attention because if it is people taking their lives,
Speaker 1: that really social contagion does exist. It's a real thing.
Speaker 1: And the more air those stories get, the more people
Speaker 1: who are like, Okay, I'm going to do that too.
Speaker 1: But I this happens all the time. It happens with
Speaker 1: anything tied to the theme parks like the beauty fun
Speaker 1: family thing going on in this dark other side death
Speaker 1: and suicide that we're going to try to attach to
Speaker 1: it some way.
Speaker 2: So I think it's overblown, But we'll see.
Speaker 1: If you know anything about this, let us know the
Speaker 1: additional details over at tips tips at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: In fact, let's see we can work in a couple
Speaker 1: of emails real quick. Tom says, uh weather main Lane,
Speaker 1: Will weather main Lane be giving an update on the hurricane?
Speaker 1: Oh wait, there's a I don't know if I should
Speaker 1: touch this attachment here. Hang on, wait is this did
Speaker 1: you have a character that you made when you did
Speaker 1: your hurricane broadcast?
Speaker 2: Not that I remember, No, I don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh okay, this is them filming their radio.
Speaker 2: So let's listen and let's see what I said. The
Speaker 2: stuff that's going to get.
Speaker 13: More serious is probably going to get more serious in
Speaker 13: the next few hours. Slaine with US, Chris, we appreciate
Speaker 13: the O and please stay safe.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Who is this you're talking about around? Yeah?
Speaker 2: That was they had me as like the calling.
Speaker 4: Guys are going to get more serious serious something like that.
Speaker 2: Let me go back. Yeah, the stuff that's going.
Speaker 13: To get more serious is probably going to get more
Speaker 13: serious in the next few hours of Chris Slane with US, Chris.
Speaker 2: That's him. That's him. I sounded weirdly clear on that,
Speaker 2: like that was a phone call.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is not somebody's like old ass
Speaker 1: radio with an antendants.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That was one of our Tampa guys. That's on the
Speaker 4: sister station that we're on over there. I was hosting
Speaker 4: like all night coverage. Gorman.
Speaker 3: I like that nickname though, Weather main Land.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if we'll have an opportunity, because
Speaker 1: this storm looks like it's gonna hit Jamaica and Hispaniola, Haiti,
Speaker 1: Dominican Republic and then zoom out. But if it comes near.
Speaker 4: I don't know that there's going to be another resurgence
Speaker 4: this year of tropic like a top.
Speaker 1: But we'll see sometime. Yeah, at some time. Here's Megan
Speaker 1: emailing Good Afternoon Junkies. So my husband just had a
Speaker 1: quadruple bypass surgery almost three months ago.
Speaker 3: Jeeze.
Speaker 1: So obviously he's been out of work, says Megan. He's
Speaker 1: the main breadwinner in our home as I work part time.
Speaker 1: I thought for sure we would be a shoe in
Speaker 1: to get approved for benefits while he's out of work,
Speaker 1: but I was actually denied the benefits. And now I
Speaker 1: can't even get a hold of anybody to find out
Speaker 1: why we are not that rich and we're not trying
Speaker 1: to milk the government for assistance. We know there are
Speaker 1: people out there that do that, but we don't. She's
Speaker 1: saying there are people who have it way worse than
Speaker 1: we do. That's really surprising, And I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're basing that off like previous income brought in by
Speaker 1: your husband or whatever. But I think we need social
Speaker 1: safety nets. We need them for a lot of reasons.
Speaker 1: Number one, it helps lower the crime rate. When you
Speaker 1: have social safety nets like this, it lowers desperation crimes,
Speaker 1: and that's a good thing that's actually worth the tax
Speaker 1: dollars that goes into all this. You just need to
Speaker 1: make sure people aren't cheating the system, and then people
Speaker 1: like this do get some benefits, because I don't think
Speaker 1: many folks are against that. So Mike says, so some
Speaker 1: people will lose food stamps, but if the Affordable Care
Speaker 1: accepts that these aren't extended, some people will not be
Speaker 1: able to afford healthcare. This is not about giving insurance
Speaker 1: to illegals.
Speaker 2: Mike.
Speaker 1: I would encourage you, if you are in support of this,
Speaker 1: to find people that win elections, because if you win elections,
Speaker 1: then you can pass things. You can get a majority
Speaker 1: in these chambers and pass things that you want. If
Speaker 1: you don't like the way things are going, you can
Speaker 1: send them in a different direction. But you have to
Speaker 1: ask yourself, is this going to be smart? Is this
Speaker 1: going to be something that wins people over? Who are
Speaker 1: people going to blame for this? That is the biggest question.
Speaker 1: Scott says four hundred thousand kids in foster care won't
Speaker 1: receive their food benefits and the families taking care of
Speaker 1: them won't receive their funds for housing if the government
Speaker 1: stays close.
Speaker 2: If we get to this point.
Speaker 1: There could be I have really I have my doubts
Speaker 1: about this. They could come to an agreement before November
Speaker 1: and then this wouldn't happen and they would resolve the situation.
Speaker 1: They could say hey, and I imagine Republicans will do
Speaker 1: something like this. I imagine Republicans will do something like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's vote on extending the snap benefits for people and
Speaker 1: then pass a temporary budget so we can continue to
Speaker 1: fund things. And then we'll hash this out down the road.
Speaker 1: But then it'll come down to vote again. So we
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen in the next couple
Speaker 1: of days. But I know people who genuinely need stuff
Speaker 1: like that are probably not happy about it, and they
Speaker 1: shouldn't be. This is politics getting the way of their
Speaker 1: lives in a lot of cases. All Right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take a quick break. When we come back, Jerry Doody
Speaker 1: is on the way. Let's see we got a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff coming up that we have to get to.
Speaker 1: A Halloween story that I can't even believe. We have
Speaker 1: the first Lady of France back in the news over
Speaker 1: her gender or sex that's on trial in France this week,
Speaker 1: I'll explain.
Speaker 2: And a woman very very.
Speaker 1: Upset because she got a letter from the dentist's office.
Speaker 2: What did it say?
Speaker 1: I'll read it for you and you could tell me
Speaker 1: what you think about this that in fact is coming
Speaker 1: up next on the news Chunk Key.
Speaker 2: We'll get into more of your feedback.
Speaker 1: A lot of people talking about many different things we've
Speaker 1: hit on over the course of the show. But right
Speaker 1: now here we go. Let's do jury duty. Cod is
Speaker 1: no in session to put your phone down and pay
Speaker 1: attention before we call the bailiff over to whip your ass.
Speaker 1: Your knowing jury duty with the News Junkie. Jury Duty
Speaker 1: brought to you by the one the only Moduitt of
Speaker 1: the DeWitt Law Firm. Injured on the go, just call
Speaker 1: MO eight hundred, CALLMO eight hundred, CALLMO, or go to
Speaker 1: just CALLMO dot com after an accident. There is all
Speaker 1: sorts of places you can turn to a lot of
Speaker 1: different attorneys out there. Who say they're going to help
Speaker 1: you out, but are they really. Some of them will
Speaker 1: take advantage of you. Some of them will give you
Speaker 1: no attention. Some of them don't they they'll just fail you.
Speaker 1: But I think you're in good hands with Modwit and
Speaker 1: the DeWitt Law Firm. Eight hundred, CALLMO eight hundred, CALLMO,
Speaker 1: or go to just CALLMO dot com. Let's see we're
Speaker 1: talking a little bit during the break. The company that
Speaker 1: made the lift that was used as an escape from
Speaker 1: the Louver Museum after the heist went down.
Speaker 4: The company that made it or the company that rented
Speaker 4: it out. The company that rented it out.
Speaker 1: I guess the story says made from ABC News, but
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, it says the company is Becker Agilo Furniture Lift.
Speaker 2: I think they made it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they might be the people who actually
Speaker 1: make the thing and not rent it out. They've started
Speaker 1: to use it in some advertising on social media. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like, you know, when you really want to get
Speaker 1: out of there fast.
Speaker 3: Use R lifts.
Speaker 2: I like to escape the scene. And they've leaned into
Speaker 2: this quite a bit.
Speaker 4: And I remember that successful, highly successful Louver heist, hard
Speaker 4: as those.
Speaker 2: Are are lifts.
Speaker 1: They did get out of their fast well actually.
Speaker 3: It wasn't that fast. The just weren't there or anywhere inside.
Speaker 1: However, let me bring up the update on this story
Speaker 1: since it's been kind of an interesting one to follow
Speaker 1: because we had some people who are arrested in the
Speaker 1: Paris museum theft story over the weekend and this story
Speaker 1: from the Associated presses. Two suspects were arrested in connection
Speaker 1: with the theft of the Crown Jewels from the Louver
Speaker 1: Museum in Paris, a justice and police officials said yesterday,
Speaker 1: and there was a massive man hunt going down. The
Speaker 1: Paris prosecutor said investigators made the arrest on Saturday evening.
Speaker 1: One of the men who was taken into custody was
Speaker 1: preparing to leave the country from Paris's airport. And some
Speaker 1: of the stories give a few extra details on this.
Speaker 1: The two people that they arrested, one of them was
Speaker 1: identified through DNA tracing, and I think they believe they
Speaker 1: have the other one on security footage. But one of
Speaker 1: them was at the airport and trying to get to Mollie,
Speaker 1: which is in Africa, obviously, and the other one was
Speaker 1: trying to get to a lot of the stories aren't
Speaker 1: mentioning this. The other one was trying to get to Algeria,
Speaker 1: I believe, which is also in Africa.
Speaker 2: So they do appear to both be.
Speaker 1: As I told you off the jump, these African migrants
Speaker 1: who are all.
Speaker 6: Over Paris and plated news Africa's about to open a
Speaker 6: really awesome museum that has very rare jewels.
Speaker 1: Well, that doesn't mean these people still have these jewels
Speaker 1: on them. That's another thing, Like they might have already
Speaker 1: ditched this stuff. They might have gotten rid of it
Speaker 1: really fast. That just means they got the two people
Speaker 1: that they think were involved in the robbery. And there
Speaker 1: was some reporting over the weekend that said they were
Speaker 1: working with an insider.
Speaker 3: I mean that makes.
Speaker 1: Sense at the museum, which which adds up somebody had to, like.
Speaker 6: Someone funded this at the very least of the best.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that's super expensive when you're
Speaker 1: funding the rob of one hundred million dollars worth of stuff.
Speaker 1: But I do think they probably couldn't have pulled this
Speaker 1: off if they just had like basic knowledge from a
Speaker 1: visitor to the museum.
Speaker 3: I really think I.
Speaker 1: Think I think they most must have known more and
Speaker 1: that's what they were suggesting. So let me see if
Speaker 1: I can bring that up. Love insider. Yeah, there was
Speaker 1: somebody that they or that they said possibly was working
Speaker 1: with them. Louver hest being investigated as an inside job,
Speaker 1: with a security guard in particular being eyed for this.
Speaker 2: This says sources close to the.
Speaker 1: Investigation claim digital forensic evidence shows a member of security
Speaker 1: was in contact with these people before the heist, with
Speaker 1: the individuals they think were responsible. There's digital forensic evidence
Speaker 1: that shows there was cooperation with one of the museum's
Speaker 1: security guards and the thieves.
Speaker 3: Look at this, look at this.
Speaker 1: So that's what was going on with the Louver robbery story,
Speaker 1: and now they have at least two people in custody
Speaker 1: so far.
Speaker 4: Do you think this, this correspondence with the security guard
Speaker 4: was just that or did the security guard like leave
Speaker 4: something unlocked or do anything because they threatened For all
Speaker 4: we yeah, that's another thing, but for all we know,
Speaker 4: it seemed like this was very easy for them to do. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that was what was aiming, a very irresponsible, embarrassing picture
Speaker 4: for the people.
Speaker 2: Of the Louver.
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know, they literally went
Speaker 1: to the world's most famous museum with some of the
Speaker 1: most valuable things in the world. They went up on
Speaker 1: what they call a scissor lift to get them to
Speaker 1: the second floor or so. They went into a window,
Speaker 1: and then they went directly to where these jewels were.
Speaker 4: And then cut open the display cases with angle grinders.
Speaker 1: They used an angle grinder to cut them open and
Speaker 1: remove these jewels, and then they very slowly went back
Speaker 1: down on the thing that they used to get up
Speaker 1: to the second floor. No cops anywhere in sight. We
Speaker 1: started this show. Compare this. We started this show with
Speaker 1: this guy who was on the streets flirting with some women,
Speaker 1: recording himself, and then gunshots rang out in the background,
Speaker 1: and within I don't think I'm exaggerating if I say
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty seconds you heard sirens, sirens, He saw
Speaker 1: the emergency vehicles going to the scene just within thirty
Speaker 1: seconds of when the gunshots happened. In this case, there
Speaker 1: were minutes and minutes and minutes that I think it
Speaker 1: was like five minutes or something that passed in total.
Speaker 1: And when they went down the scissor lift to escape
Speaker 1: with one hundred million dollars in jewels, there were no cop.
Speaker 3: Now, I mean this has been covered.
Speaker 6: Probably a handful of times in film of Robbing that
Speaker 6: museum in particular, and the lengths and the meetings ahead
Speaker 6: of time, and the practice or the super awesome spy
Speaker 6: equipment that was used.
Speaker 3: And it turns out was the seas the whole time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot easier than in the movies. Finally, in
Speaker 4: Jury Duty time, the movie Long Enough Man.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Paris, ten people are going on trial in
Speaker 1: Paris as of today for sexist cyber harassment of Bridget Macrone,
Speaker 1: the first Lady of France. This is the whole movement
Speaker 1: where they try to say that she's well, do they
Speaker 1: say she's trans or a man? I think they should
Speaker 1: just say she's a man. I think they're claiming that
Speaker 1: they the first lady of France.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in America she's the most prominent person. These are
Speaker 1: people who are from France. Ten of them, eight men
Speaker 1: and two women, aged forty one to sixty.
Speaker 3: For they're all adults, they're grown ass people. They're in
Speaker 3: their forties forties. This is where we like to spend
Speaker 3: our money.
Speaker 2: All.
Speaker 1: They will be tried in a Paris criminal court accused
Speaker 1: of cyber harassment targeting Bridge of a crone. They face
Speaker 1: up to two years in prison. Here's the crazy part. Okay,
Speaker 1: they said in this courtroom that they plan to present
Speaker 1: all sorts of evidence that she is a woman, a
Speaker 1: biological woman.
Speaker 3: So bad for her at this point, it's like, let
Speaker 3: it go.
Speaker 2: Well, she's finally just over it and suing them.
Speaker 1: Like the equivalent of this would be there's stuff like
Speaker 1: this about Michelle Obama that's always tossed around.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to see what they said there.
Speaker 1: They talk about the US lawsuit against Candice Owens, which
Speaker 1: I still believe they're definitely gonna win. But they were
Speaker 1: saying she was going to prove scientifically in the courtroom
Speaker 1: that she's a woman.
Speaker 4: I guess it would be a real, real record scratch
Speaker 4: moment if she did get in the courtroom and said, guys,
Speaker 4: enough is enough and took out her penis.
Speaker 1: It would really backfire against the case if that happened.
Speaker 1: But I think she just slides over a couple. Hey,
Speaker 1: here's the XX chromosomes. Hey, you could do an X
Speaker 1: ray of somebody's body and tell if that person is
Speaker 1: a man or a woman and did this stuff should
Speaker 1: be pretty easy. I think she's got I don't know
Speaker 1: about the criminality of it, but like certainly in the US,
Speaker 1: I think she's got a good civil case. We'll see
Speaker 1: what happens on both those fronts. We'll keep an eye
Speaker 1: on it when we return that you. I got more
Speaker 1: of your feedback. Your dispatch is queued up and ready
Speaker 1: to go. This mother that got a letter from the
Speaker 1: dentist's office that she's freaking out about should she be well,
Speaker 1: we'll find out together.
Speaker 4: And a young man with a stunning invention. But is
Speaker 4: it really all it's cracked up to be.
Speaker 1: We'll find out together, because that's all coming up next
Speaker 1: in the news, chunk Keye. I love to hear from
Speaker 1: you if you said an email, even off hours, you know,
Speaker 1: say like where you're from, and how long you've been
Speaker 1: listening to the show. All those things are very very
Speaker 1: nice to hear, and I love when you check in
Speaker 1: with us. So we'll get to a few more dispatches
Speaker 1: here momentarily. But I wanted to share this to tell
Speaker 1: everybody this story, and you could tell me if you
Speaker 1: think this is fair or not.
Speaker 4: There's a woman who is getting a ton of attention
Speaker 4: in the news so far this week.
Speaker 1: And she has said that she got a very mean
Speaker 1: letter from her dentists. The dentist wrote a bit of
Speaker 1: a mean letter to her. I'm going to pull up
Speaker 1: the letter here so we can read it together, and
Speaker 1: then you guys can tell me what you think about it.
Speaker 6: Not something like you know this is going out to
Speaker 6: all of our notes.
Speaker 1: No, like it literally starts out with dear Taylor. This
Speaker 1: is specifically for this one person here who the dentist's
Speaker 1: office wrote this to, and it says, Dear Taylor, we
Speaker 1: truly enjoy having you as part of our dental family,
Speaker 1: and we are committed to making your visits as comfortable
Speaker 1: and positive as possible. Good start, I feel like there's
Speaker 1: a butt coming. Well, there is. We understand it could
Speaker 1: be challenging to arrange child's care, and we appreciate that
Speaker 1: you bring your children with you when you need to.
Speaker 1: All right, you can see where this is starting to go.
Speaker 4: However, we've noticed that during some recent visits, the noise
Speaker 4: and activity and the reception and treatment areas have made
Speaker 4: it difficult for our team to provide the best care,
Speaker 4: not only for you, but also for other patients who
Speaker 4: may be feeling anxious or undergoing procedures that require quiet concentration.
Speaker 2: Now I have a question here.
Speaker 1: Is this always the way it's been, because I do
Speaker 1: feel that, like in the dentist's office, I feel like
Speaker 1: it's not appropriate for your kids to be screaming and
Speaker 1: screwing around because some people are really like on edge
Speaker 1: about their appointment. It's kind of a quiet place. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like a chill, quiet place, more so than
Speaker 1: any other doctor waiting room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the most part, you just hear the drills.
Speaker 2: M M. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was you, and on the other side of the wall,
Speaker 1: I guess they're hearing this lady's kids who are screaming.
Speaker 1: So they said, we want the people to be comfortable
Speaker 1: who may be feeling anxious or undergoing procedures that require
Speaker 1: quiet concentration.
Speaker 2: Also the dentists doing the work.
Speaker 1: To ensure the best experience for you and everyone in
Speaker 1: our office, we kindly ask that future appointments be scheduled
Speaker 1: at times when your children can be supervised elsewhere, or
Speaker 1: that another responsible adult accompany them. This will help us
Speaker 1: focus fully on your treatment and maintain a calm, safe
Speaker 1: environment for all of our patients. We appreciate you understanding,
Speaker 1: and we appreciate your cooperation. We truly value your continued
Speaker 1: trust in our care. If you need help finding an
Speaker 1: appointment time that works with your schedule, we're happy to
Speaker 1: resist assist warm regard, says the dentist's office to this mother.
Speaker 4: But I blurred the dentist office then, yeah, they blurred
Speaker 4: that part. We really just want to start a discussion.
Speaker 4: They're not really trying to shame the dentist's office at
Speaker 4: the moment.
Speaker 2: It seems the.
Speaker 4: Dentist's office said this as kindly as they possibly could have. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't like, I don't think that they
Speaker 4: were really aggressive.
Speaker 1: She says, I'm so embarrassed. But for what, Like you're embarrassed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they sent it to you in particular. They also, you know,
Speaker 1: they did, like, with all due respect, as many times
Speaker 1: as they possibly could in that is.
Speaker 6: The one time thing, or argue me for the if
Speaker 6: I missed the part in the letter that's like this
Speaker 6: is the third or fourth time you've needed work.
Speaker 3: They made it clear that this is not a one off.
Speaker 2: I believe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me see if I can find that particular part.
Speaker 1: It says we've noticed that during some recent visits, so
Speaker 1: it's like applying, you know, more than one time. The
Speaker 1: noise and activity both in the reception room and the
Speaker 1: treatment areas have made it difficult for our team to
Speaker 1: provide the best care. And I guess she was really
Speaker 1: upset about this. She's like, they embarrassed me. I don't
Speaker 1: think I can go back.
Speaker 3: I mean I I'd be like this.
Speaker 1: This is how it goes if you have a lot
Speaker 1: of kids, and she does the kids?
Speaker 2: Get this ready? Where was this hang on? Okay?
Speaker 4: Her kids are seven, five, four, and three, which yucks. Wow,
Speaker 4: that's a lot.
Speaker 1: Of juggling you got going on there. Seven five, four,
Speaker 1: and three are her kids. She's thirty two years old.
Speaker 1: She's got four children, and she said they're like energetic,
Speaker 1: and you know they they get into some trouble when
Speaker 1: they go to this place.
Speaker 2: I can understand why you might feel that way.
Speaker 1: You might feel a little upset, but I really do
Speaker 1: think that was a nice letter from the dentist office.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, like most issues,
Speaker 1: you have to realize that just like you can feel
Speaker 1: free to go to another dentist office where maybe they
Speaker 1: will accept this kind of behavior, you should also understand
Speaker 1: that you know your dentist's office has the right to
Speaker 1: be more a particular in who they want to go
Speaker 1: there for their services and care. Yeah, there's more than
Speaker 1: just you. They're not a daycare, and there's more people
Speaker 1: than just you. And and if somebody's like anxious and
Speaker 1: going in there to get their molders removed, there's something
Speaker 1: or whatever. I would understand that they were bothered by
Speaker 1: your kids screaming at the top of their lungs.
Speaker 2: It's not professional, especially.
Speaker 4: Since I would assume that this is a dentist office
Speaker 4: that is for adults. I mean, I might think a
Speaker 4: little bit differently. I still think they were as nice
Speaker 4: as possible about this, and they're not in the wrong here,
Speaker 4: but I might feel a little bit differently about the
Speaker 4: mother's actions if this were like she's taking the seven
Speaker 4: year old to the dentists and the six, five, three whatever,
Speaker 4: the other three were up a little bit, but there's
Speaker 4: other children around. Yeah, like it's a kid's dentist's office.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I remember going to that.
Speaker 1: Kind of place, and it would be a little louder,
Speaker 1: and they have toys and stuff.
Speaker 2: Somebody says man kicking on twitches.
Speaker 1: She sounds like a normal, self absorbed millennial four kids,
Speaker 1: says Zach. She probably just got her snap cut off
Speaker 1: and the kids are starving. Now weaving two together. The
Speaker 1: coming from Barbara on YouTube says the dentists took the
Speaker 1: high road. People let their children recavoc without any regard
Speaker 1: to anybody around them.
Speaker 3: Barbara is hitting the nail on the head for me.
Speaker 1: And the idea is, while I think it's great that
Speaker 1: you have kids and you bring them around with you,
Speaker 1: every environment is not.
Speaker 2: Going to be accommodating for you.
Speaker 1: There are some places where it's going to be inappropriate,
Speaker 1: and I know that childcare is expensive and there are
Speaker 1: other issues. But you can't just be like, I'm chaos
Speaker 1: in the world and you the world have to deal
Speaker 1: with all of my chaos no matter what. And there
Speaker 1: are a lot of really entitled people who do this.
Speaker 1: They just go, yeah, so what deal with it? You know,
Speaker 1: like life is hard. No, there are rules, and if
Speaker 1: a dentist's office has these rules, then you can either
Speaker 1: listen to them or find another dentist office that has
Speaker 1: different rules. It's pretty cut and dry to me, But
Speaker 1: tell us what you think. Send your dispatches over at
Speaker 1: thenewsjunkie dot com. Right now, let's see what we got.
Speaker 1: We got time for one or two of these. Here's
Speaker 1: the Lovely Lolita with a tip for Halloween. All right,
Speaker 1: I will take some Halloween tips here. Just listen in junkies.
Speaker 15: Just wanted to give you a little tip on something
Speaker 15: I like to do on Halloween. I always keep little packets,
Speaker 15: individual packets of goldfish crackers for the little little ones,
Speaker 15: for the ones in strollers toddlers that are barely walking
Speaker 15: and shouldn't be eating things like Skittles or snicker bars.
Speaker 15: So always keep something on hand for the little babies.
Speaker 2: Thinks that's a good idea. Actually, I don't even think
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 3: Those mini bottles of dymism.
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be good. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 4: The size makes sense, I agree with you, size wise.
Speaker 4: It's like a little kid's shoe, a little kid's bottle.
Speaker 1: It makes sense. But parents are not forgiving on that front.
Speaker 1: The alcohol with the babies.
Speaker 4: Although I would like to have slipped a little Jackson
Speaker 4: a little bit of alcohol for his birthday and he's
Speaker 4: running around causing chaos in the world.
Speaker 2: But I mean, if there was access to alcohol at his.
Speaker 1: Birthday, Yeah, I can't get enough.
Speaker 2: I love watching This.
Speaker 1: Is gonna sound so weird. Give me a second, folks,
Speaker 1: all right, give me a second before you like clip
Speaker 1: me out of context and make me sound weird. I
Speaker 1: find watching kids around Jackson's age to be thoroughly interesting
Speaker 1: because you get to see them and I watched Jackson
Speaker 1: do this a bunch on Saturday. You get to watch
Speaker 1: them interacting with the world through a brain that's just developing.
Speaker 1: And he was so smart about certain stuff. I was
Speaker 1: sitting there, I was telling the sea Land. I'm just
Speaker 1: watching him go up to the cooler, understand how the
Speaker 1: cooler works, understand how he can open it, reach in,
Speaker 1: understand that there's a juice box in there, grab the
Speaker 1: juice box, and try to drink out of the juice box.
Speaker 1: Like they're putting so much stuff together. I find it,
Speaker 1: like it's incredible, and it's still a little frustrating.
Speaker 4: You would probably say, he's a really big fan of
Speaker 4: your Mickey Mouse tattoo.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily a Maiking bounce tattoo, but he thought
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 2: He pointed at my tattoo.
Speaker 3: He's like, make him out, make him me mac. I
Speaker 3: thought about popping his his what's it called, what's the
Speaker 3: jump room?
Speaker 2: The bounce house? Is bounce house.
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought about it.
Speaker 4: It actually did start to somebody unplugged it or something
Speaker 4: before you got there, and it started to go a
Speaker 4: little limp at one point.
Speaker 2: A bounce house in the backyard.
Speaker 3: Adults, which is also terrifying.
Speaker 6: I've been to many of bounce house parties growing up,
Speaker 6: and when that thing goes down and you're not outside
Speaker 6: of it, you get trapped in what you think is
Speaker 6: your death of Yeah, and it's not until someone plugs
Speaker 6: it back in.
Speaker 3: But you'll never get into a bounce house again. If
Speaker 3: you're in that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll get you out.
Speaker 4: I think I'll never get into abounds house a getting period.
Speaker 3: I'm allowed, I'm not allowed. I mean I saw some
Speaker 3: things at your house.
Speaker 1: I was like, I want, I want to try to
Speaker 1: do this tree swing, but I don't think that's a
Speaker 1: good idea tree swing.
Speaker 4: It's I've been on it. It's rated for a lot
Speaker 4: of pounded, so that's that sounds weird.
Speaker 2: It's rating for a lot of weight.
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand what you were saying either way,
Speaker 1: but let's see here. What do we got Here is
Speaker 1: another dispatch from Megan.
Speaker 2: She's talking about driving.
Speaker 3: Hey, junkies, you want to hear something crazy.
Speaker 5: I attended elementary school, middle school, and high school, all
Speaker 5: in Seminal County. My kindergarten year, my teacher was pregnant.
Speaker 5: She had stuck on the railroad tracks in Altamont. Unfortunately,
Speaker 5: she wasn't able to get out of the way in
Speaker 5: time and heard her on born baby.
Speaker 9: Lost their lives.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, aask for how.
Speaker 5: Many years till my senior year of high school when
Speaker 5: I decided I needed a half a c. So why
Speaker 5: not take the easiest course out there, which is driver's head.
Speaker 3: Well, they're teaching us about the importance of not on
Speaker 3: railroad tracks.
Speaker 5: Am Ironically, the teacher I had finds the news clipping
Speaker 5: that aired on TV that happened to be about my
Speaker 5: kindergarten teacher losing her life on the trade.
Speaker 3: Oh god, what.
Speaker 9: Are the odds?
Speaker 4: Right, have a great Monday.
Speaker 3: Wigglego pop pop gez wow.
Speaker 1: So the example they were giving on why you should
Speaker 1: pay attention to.
Speaker 3: The train trails was the examples.
Speaker 1: Yeah, happened to be the person that she knew that
Speaker 1: died that way. Unbelievable. I don't even remember learning about
Speaker 1: that side of things. I literally just remember getting a
Speaker 1: little green book, and the book had everything that I
Speaker 1: was supposed to learn for the test, and then I
Speaker 1: would go and take the test.
Speaker 2: And I failed the.
Speaker 4: Test the first time, and I was so mad because
Speaker 4: I wanted to get my driver's license the.
Speaker 2: Same day and I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I was using my mom's eighty nine Dodge Caravan, and
Speaker 1: I'd never driven a vehicle that large, and I couldn't
Speaker 1: pass the driving test with it.
Speaker 2: It was not a good time. I guess I must have.
Speaker 1: I think I must have passed the learner's permit first,
Speaker 1: and that, like the second one was the one where
Speaker 1: I had to drive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, learner's permit was all well, they say written, but
Speaker 4: it was all on the computer.
Speaker 2: And then the one where you actually drove.
Speaker 4: That was the one where we thought it would be
Speaker 4: a better idea to use my dad's car because it
Speaker 4: was a little nicer and it was an automatic. My
Speaker 4: mom had a stick shift, and it was like, you know,
Speaker 4: what's that's one more hurdle if I if I happen
Speaker 4: to stall out on the driving test, would be quite embarrassing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: But then she started asking me stuff that I didn't
Speaker 4: really know because I hadn't driven my dad's car that
Speaker 4: many times.
Speaker 2: So it was like, I'm not sure where the wipe person.
Speaker 2: You gotta figure that out before man.
Speaker 1: But the thing that's kinda wild to me is I
Speaker 1: always watching TV and movies that you went out on
Speaker 1: the actual roads for that. But I know that they really,
Speaker 1: Oh you did, I went on actual roads.
Speaker 4: I think there were there were really there were pieces
Speaker 4: of the driving test, like parallel parking. I don't even
Speaker 4: know if we did parallel parking. There were pieces of
Speaker 4: the driving tests that were on a closed course. But
Speaker 4: then there are also parts of it where she's like,
Speaker 4: all right, pull out of this parking lot and take
Speaker 4: a left at the corner.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: We drove around a little bit and then came back
Speaker 4: into the other stuff.
Speaker 1: We had a little course, like a course out behind
Speaker 1: the DMV plays and there was like a cone set
Speaker 1: up and all of that stuff. We used to do
Speaker 1: it out there. But I never had the story about
Speaker 1: the train crash thing. Unfortunately, Sorry that happened to you.
Speaker 4: I think I think they do the course because it's like, hey,
Speaker 4: if you screw up the parallel parking, we need you
Speaker 4: to hit a cone and not a car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably better.
Speaker 1: I could see that adding up. Let's see what else
Speaker 1: we have here, A couple of things to get through.
Speaker 1: I want to show you this hang on and over
Speaker 1: here here is goes in. You talking about water, we'll
Speaker 1: listen in.
Speaker 2: Hello, hey, junkies.
Speaker 19: Hey, let's just put it out there in construction all
Speaker 19: over central Florida. And it wasn't amount the amount of
Speaker 19: the rain. Again, we have to think about all these
Speaker 19: new communities that are going in. They're tying into existing
Speaker 19: sewer lines, and the infrastructure does not hold.
Speaker 1: Up you saying it wasn't the rain that so, yeah,
Speaker 1: it rained a little bit, I get it. But it
Speaker 1: has to do with the infrastructure, because, like I said,
Speaker 1: they're trying in all these branded communities to go into
Speaker 1: existing sewers.
Speaker 2: So that's the main culprit on this whole thing. Maybe that.
Speaker 1: The bigger issue I think is just when you get
Speaker 1: two feet of rain or close to it in a
Speaker 1: couple of hours, most places are gonna flood. It's just
Speaker 1: it almost doesn't matter where you are, it's the system
Speaker 1: can't handle that. In general, if that happened in New
Speaker 1: York City, chaos, gridlock. If there was two feet of
Speaker 1: rain in a matter of hours, And I don't know,
Speaker 1: like sometimes there was minor flooding issues like local eyes
Speaker 1: to neighborhoods where there's houses that were built up and
Speaker 1: the infrastructure isn't ready for it around it. But I
Speaker 1: think more so the caser would probably just be that
Speaker 1: so much rain so fast, like most places just aren't
Speaker 1: going to handle that well. But let us know what
Speaker 1: you think. Send us a dispatch over on the news
Speaker 1: junkie dot com. All right, there's a young kid who
Speaker 1: just got an award. Twenty five thousand dollars is what
Speaker 1: he got. They called him America's top young scientists. This
Speaker 1: California eighth grader got the twenty five thousand dollar prize
Speaker 1: and he developed something called fall Guard. That's what he
Speaker 1: calls this, and he says it's a camera based monitoring
Speaker 1: system that uses an algorithm he programmed himself, this eighth grader,
Speaker 1: to spot falls and alert caregivers after his own grandmother
Speaker 1: suffered a fall that went unnoticed, causing permanent brain damage.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like this kid invented a life alert,
Speaker 1: but he invented his own. And you don't have to
Speaker 1: wear anything. I thought, doesn't Alexa have something like that
Speaker 1: built in, isn't there?
Speaker 6: Like aid, did you get the update? Because if not,
Speaker 6: I don't quite understand that. Did you need the weather?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't even talk about that.
Speaker 4: Okay, she's talking about the Alexa Plus or whatever the
Speaker 4: new I know that the Apple Watch has that, but
Speaker 4: I guess he's trying to avoid something you have to
Speaker 4: wear Apple makes sense.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of who was it?
Speaker 6: Maybe it was my own grandmother, but falling in the
Speaker 6: bat it was my grandma fell in the bathroom, like
Speaker 6: and that was her preparing to get in the shower,
Speaker 6: not and it wasn't an Apple Watch, but it was
Speaker 6: the clicker that she would wear everywhere else around the
Speaker 6: house life alert thing, but didn't have it then and
Speaker 6: was on the ground for like four hours until somebody
Speaker 6: went to check on hers.
Speaker 1: What can you if you have a smart speaker, if
Speaker 1: you said, if you screamed out, like let's say you
Speaker 1: fell in your house and you broke your leg, if
Speaker 1: you screamed out, hey, blank device, I'm on the floor,
Speaker 1: call the emergency authorities right now.
Speaker 2: I need help. It would do that, right.
Speaker 4: I think they're they have the option. I don't know
Speaker 4: if it's all enabled by default, it should be I.
Speaker 1: Think, but I have to sit on the ground and
Speaker 1: like negotiate with my smart speaker to set this.
Speaker 4: Up, Like please just help me out, God, I mean,
Speaker 4: take the smart speaker out of it. If you just
Speaker 4: have like your phone, you should be able to call
Speaker 4: out to whatever the entity is on your phone that
Speaker 4: does stuff for you. And in the case of our phones,
Speaker 4: it would be a serie and say, hey, call him.
Speaker 2: Nine to one one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you can do that, or you can get
Speaker 1: this kid's fall guard. He got twenty five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for the invention. And this is the perfect like snapshot
Speaker 1: of a thirteen year old's mind. He's working to keep
Speaker 1: his device free or at least on the cheaper side
Speaker 1: for anyone who needs its.
Speaker 3: Eighteen and that'll be three ninety nine. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wait, wait till you put a couple more years work
Speaker 1: into this. Oh is this him real quick?
Speaker 2: I won't.
Speaker 1: I want to take long of this, I see because
Speaker 1: I think this is him.
Speaker 3: Like my grandma fell in his kitchen, all right, we
Speaker 3: still haven't ready to which left her with permanent brain damages.
Speaker 2: Brain damages.
Speaker 3: After doing some research, I found that over six hundred
Speaker 3: thousand people die each year from these faults. So many
Speaker 3: of those lives could have been saved if help came
Speaker 3: a little sooner. That's why I invented val Guard, which
Speaker 3: is a real time for At the heart of Voguard
Speaker 3: is a custom algorithm using AI and computers.
Speaker 1: Did you actually build this, little guy? These are just
Speaker 1: like pictures and stuff I want to see. There is
Speaker 1: a shark tank, buddy, This.
Speaker 3: Is a science fair. Okay, it looks like it actually.
Speaker 4: Does detect people and then can tell if they're like
Speaker 4: in a position where they're.
Speaker 3: On the ground or not.
Speaker 1: This is pretty smart. Yeah, I mean that's fairly impressive.
Speaker 1: So it's any by. Yeah, and the camera set up
Speaker 1: that he's working on, all right, let us know what
Speaker 1: you think.
Speaker 2: We'll uh, we'll.
Speaker 1: Send that through over on the news Junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: If you have any issues when we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: get to you and your feedback. We'll get to some
Speaker 1: crying during sports, and we'll get to the most shocking
Speaker 1: thing I've.
Speaker 2: Seen about Halloween so far?
Speaker 1: What is it that is coming up next on the
Speaker 1: News Chunkie. Everything that goes viral and it turns into
Speaker 1: a thing in the overall culture, it has a start
Speaker 1: point and an end point, and the end point is
Speaker 1: usually in my experience, when parents start saying stuff, or like,
Speaker 1: your aunt starts doing whatever the trend is, and I.
Speaker 2: See it on your laptop, but I already knew what
Speaker 2: this was about. Yeah, you knew what was coming.
Speaker 1: Parents dressing up as six seven for Halloween costumes, and
Speaker 1: all of the kids who have been doing this stupid
Speaker 1: thing where they just say six seven sixty seven, six
Speaker 1: seven sixty seven, probably understanding that it's about over, that
Speaker 1: it's the.
Speaker 3: VI we know what I think, we're looking at two
Speaker 3: heroes right now.
Speaker 1: Really, they were willing to step up and sacrifice to
Speaker 1: make sure that enough.
Speaker 3: Kids were like, ah, now, mind you.
Speaker 6: It's still gonna be very annoying for the teenagers that
Speaker 6: were using the lingo, and then the small amount of
Speaker 6: I don't know, elder millennials and adults who know what
Speaker 6: it actually means, because all I'm seeing is we don't
Speaker 6: know what it means.
Speaker 3: But the kids were saying it, yeah, six, what do
Speaker 3: you mean six or seven? White claws?
Speaker 6: And then it's over. It's dying, a very slow death,
Speaker 6: but a death. Nonetheless, this is the death.
Speaker 2: This is what we're seeing right here, parents dressing up?
Speaker 12: Is this?
Speaker 1: I saw another story where I was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is getting so cringe. It's going to kill it for
Speaker 1: the kids. I'll bring up the story that I was
Speaker 1: looking at you.
Speaker 4: I just sent you a video that I saw had
Speaker 4: been getting some traction over the weekend. Uh, And it
Speaker 4: was Jimmy Fallon did a bit in his monologue where
Speaker 4: they were highlight he no, no, no, he highlighted a
Speaker 4: bunch of news anchors and different like variety show programs
Speaker 4: where the adults we're trying to get on the six
Speaker 4: seven thing.
Speaker 2: And at the end he's just like, it's over, it's done.
Speaker 2: This is dead. Yeah, it's in your Gmail if you
Speaker 2: want to take a look.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll check it out a second. The story I
Speaker 1: was talking about says.
Speaker 4: Why are kids in California having the best time screaming
Speaker 4: six to seven? And there's they did you guys a
Speaker 4: nine minute and forty eight second report on local news nine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is like kids are having the best time
Speaker 1: screaming six to seven. You're like, okay, this is about dead.
Speaker 1: We're killing it for the kids. What I sent you
Speaker 1: will just confirm that it is in fact deceased. Here
Speaker 1: it is let me see here.
Speaker 3: Six to seven trend.
Speaker 1: That's everywhere right now, And it looks like even news
Speaker 1: anchors are starting to get in on the action.
Speaker 2: Watch this.
Speaker 3: You know, all the kids are doing the six seven.
Speaker 7: Six seven six seven.
Speaker 1: It's over seven six seven six seven six seven.
Speaker 3: I still don't understand seven and it's over. Yeah, right,
Speaker 3: I think it's right. When do you see that?
Speaker 1: Like you were doing this fun bit in your school
Speaker 1: and your teacher was getting mad about it, and well
Speaker 1: that's what.
Speaker 6: You get for having so many phrases. Okay, for their age,
Speaker 6: it was a handful of stuff. But it's like every
Speaker 6: two to three weeks there's a new thing that we
Speaker 6: don't know what it's about.
Speaker 3: It to the face.
Speaker 4: And I saw a lot of posts over the weekend
Speaker 4: that we're coming sort of to the defense not completely
Speaker 4: of six seven, but just saying like, hey, our thing
Speaker 4: was possibly worse. You just don't remember it because you
Speaker 4: were into it when we did it, like we used
Speaker 4: to say boo yah.
Speaker 3: We said yah for like four years.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, guess what if you went home and your
Speaker 2: your dad was like boo yeah.
Speaker 3: Seeland did you have a good day?
Speaker 1: You probably stop doing it immediately. Yeah, go, I can't
Speaker 1: do that anymore.
Speaker 2: That's bad.
Speaker 1: I can't be a part of this, and I wouldn't
Speaker 1: blame you. It's cringe and I think Jimmy Fallop is
Speaker 1: right on top of it there. At least that's what
Speaker 1: it looks like. Let's see what else do we have
Speaker 1: here before we start to wrap everything up for the
Speaker 1: day we got. We're gonna fall back on our clocks
Speaker 1: very soon, which is kind of a weird time because
Speaker 1: I think Europe just did it.
Speaker 2: So now we have like a weird time where we're.
Speaker 1: Out of sink with a bunch of Europe because they
Speaker 1: were falling back earlier than we are, and we don't
Speaker 1: fall back into what November is something I don't know
Speaker 1: exactly what the day is. It's a Sunday. On Sunday,
Speaker 1: we fall back on o'clock. So if you are planning
Speaker 1: on like flying over to Europe at all in the
Speaker 1: next couple of days, just know that's gonna throw off
Speaker 1: a lot of weird scheduling things. It's just a strange
Speaker 1: little thing that happens this time of year. Also, and
Speaker 1: the last thing order to mention. Right now, they are
Speaker 1: talking about a big change and it would affect a
Speaker 1: lot of us, a lot of us, and I want
Speaker 1: to know if people would hate this or not. Because
Speaker 1: Apple has made it official, they are suggesting that they're
Speaker 1: going to start with ads and Apple Maps as of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six define ads.
Speaker 2: Though there's one way.
Speaker 3: That this can be done where it's moving to turn
Speaker 3: right unless you watch this thirty second ad.
Speaker 1: That would restaurants and businesses will be able to pay
Speaker 1: Apple to have their locations featured more prominently in maps.
Speaker 1: The company company will also leverage AI to make sure
Speaker 1: the results remain relevant. So you're cruising along and looking
Speaker 1: at the map on your dashboard or your car, and
Speaker 1: you'll see like a big version of a restaurant or
Speaker 1: a business that will be popped out because that business
Speaker 1: has paid to advertise on Apple Maps. Uh and Google
Speaker 1: has talked about doing this as well, in an effort
Speaker 1: to monetize the iOS that they both spent so much
Speaker 1: money making.
Speaker 2: But I think they have to.
Speaker 1: They do on Google Search, they'll tell you, like you know,
Speaker 1: this is a sponsored section here, even though they try
Speaker 1: to get tricky with you, but in this case they're
Speaker 1: going to put it right on the maps, and these
Speaker 1: companies and restaurants businesses all will have ads on your display,
Speaker 1: which is probably just the inevitable. Anyhow, we'll see what
Speaker 1: you think about that. Send us a dispatch as we
Speaker 1: wrap things up with the final dispatches stories that didn't
Speaker 1: make the cut. Yes, that's right, friends, the stories that
Speaker 1: didn't make the cut, and today learned to wrap everything
Speaker 1: up for a Monday.
Speaker 2: All of that is coming up next on the news Chunkie.
Speaker 4: The roast of Sean Watson hate saying that because that's
Speaker 4: my name, but it is going to be a blast.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be hilarious. Event.
Speaker 3: Got everything ready to go for you.
Speaker 1: Now We've got a couple of days and I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be doing any of the side videos that
Speaker 1: I do this week because I got a solely just
Speaker 1: right right right right, right right right.
Speaker 2: I mean, I got like a good start.
Speaker 1: But starting today, after this is all wrapped up, I
Speaker 1: really got to get intents on that because the clock
Speaker 1: is ticking. Man, it's happening already. Josh is like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm all set. I got like ten minutes ready to go,
Speaker 1: polished ready. He did leave like his Google docs page
Speaker 1: up the other day.
Speaker 2: I didn't read anything.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to you know, cheat or do anything nefarious.
Speaker 4: I just was a little blown away by how much
Speaker 4: content was there.
Speaker 3: Oh no, did you see anything?
Speaker 2: Because you see names?
Speaker 3: What did you what did you notice?
Speaker 4: It was like sectioned off and they were you know, headers,
Speaker 4: but it was like for one page there was only
Speaker 4: two headers, and I'm assuming those were names. I'm like,
Speaker 4: and then he's just got you know, bullet points of
Speaker 4: jokes that he's written, and I'm like, oh, so.
Speaker 1: Noted, noted Abraham Dragon Francis. Somebody's gonna cry at the roast.
Speaker 1: I can feel it. How long is the roasting set
Speaker 1: for everybody? Well, it's it's like ten twelve minutes for
Speaker 1: the main people, and then there's other people who are
Speaker 1: like intro people, and then there's like featured guests, and
Speaker 1: there's like there's gonna be a lot of surprises in
Speaker 1: twists and turns throughout the night, which is gonna make
Speaker 1: everything really really fun. But it'll go as long as
Speaker 1: it needs to. If somebody's falling flat, then you know
Speaker 1: you'll hook them. But I don't think that anybody's going
Speaker 1: to I think this is gonna be tuned in and
Speaker 1: really really funny. So it's gonna be doing We.
Speaker 2: Don't do that.
Speaker 1: Phil's got his stuff. He doesn't have to do too
Speaker 1: much time, he's got his stuff written. He's ready to go.
Speaker 1: I think I'll have to check. He's just now able
Speaker 1: to eat solid foods again.
Speaker 3: So bring the teeth with you, Dylan. If things start
Speaker 3: to fall flat, just throw the teeth. It wants the price.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just shake them around in a baggie or something,
Speaker 1: get a magnet or something. If you just take your
Speaker 1: teeth and start grenading them raw dog out into the audience.
Speaker 3: You'll that it was my plan and I didn't give
Speaker 3: them a wiz tee though.
Speaker 2: You'll get some attention that way.
Speaker 3: Gonna smile to that bad boy.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see what we got here. Emails, We've
Speaker 1: got to do enough of those today. Let's do our
Speaker 1: final dispatches. In fact, there's even a song for this.
Speaker 2: It's right here.
Speaker 1: These are the final dispatches, but Sean will probably only
Speaker 1: play one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's see what we got.
Speaker 1: Many of you joining us today with passionate thoughts and
Speaker 1: some good some bad. This is somebody talking about the
Speaker 1: teacher that got hit by the train.
Speaker 3: I guess, hey, junkies is etchy.
Speaker 7: I was just calling because I absolutely had to mention
Speaker 7: I not only had that same teacher, but I actually
Speaker 7: know exactly who it is that called in.
Speaker 3: She used to kick me under the table in kindergarten.
Speaker 2: It really made me mad.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, it took you a long time to
Speaker 4: reconnect here, but nobody else had that teacher too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's I mean, that's something you would remember.
Speaker 1: I guess here's Tuck Frump talking about food stamps.
Speaker 20: The first job I ever had when I was in
Speaker 20: high school was working at a Northeastern grocery chain called Seatown.
Speaker 20: Far cry from public. Seatown made food line look like
Speaker 20: a Publix, if I'm being honest with you. Anyway, We'd
Speaker 20: have crackheads who would hang out at the end of
Speaker 20: each register. Groceries were packed, and they would offer to
Speaker 20: use their food stamps to pay for people's groceries and
Speaker 20: then take cash as a discount. So, for example, they'd say,
Speaker 20: I'll buy fifty dollars worth of your groceries if you
Speaker 20: give me thirty dollars in cash, and sure, then go
Speaker 20: out and buy crap and smoke crap.
Speaker 2: Sure, I think so. I think.
Speaker 1: The thing that I will reiterate that most people don't
Speaker 1: know is that there are forty million people get these
Speaker 1: benefits of some type. Whether it's a couple hundred dollars
Speaker 1: a month, one hundred and fifty dollars a month, or
Speaker 1: whether it's like with the Max Benefit, whatever that is.
Speaker 1: There are forty million people in the United States who
Speaker 1: get these kind of snap benefits that won't as of
Speaker 1: November first, until the folks in Washington can sort this out.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how long that'll go on for.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to argue with you over who
Speaker 1: they're gonna blame. We'll see, we'll see who this works
Speaker 1: out for.
Speaker 4: It sounds like what kids used to do with if
Speaker 4: their parents gave them a gas card. We're not going
Speaker 4: to give you a credit card or anything, but we're
Speaker 4: gonna give you a gas card just so you can.
Speaker 2: Pay for gas.
Speaker 6: Yeah, who wants an Arizona iced tea? All fifteen of you,
Speaker 6: let's go because you.
Speaker 3: Can use it inside. And I well, thank you, Tuck,
Speaker 3: appreciate that we've got time for one more. Let's work in.
Speaker 2: This one is.
Speaker 17: Laying down the law who News Junkie Happy Monday Tuesday,
Speaker 17: you too, to task Sea Lane. Where do you put
Speaker 17: your pumpkins outside? Because every time we put pumpkins outside,
Speaker 17: the squirrels start to gnaw on them and then they
Speaker 17: rat faster because the rhine's been breached, but squirrels like them.
Speaker 17: Happy Halloween to all those.
Speaker 4: We had a variety of pumpkins on our front porch,
Speaker 4: just kind of decorative. There's a little bay of hail
Speaker 4: that some of them were sitting on, and uh, we
Speaker 4: have plenty of squirrels, but I hadn't had that be
Speaker 4: a problem yet.
Speaker 2: Oh it smelled so bad.
Speaker 1: It's weird because when you get into a pumpkin, there's
Speaker 1: not like, it doesn't seem like something that would smell
Speaker 1: that bad when it goes rotten. But it does when
Speaker 1: it goes When we had somebody drop off, they made
Speaker 1: a news junkie pumpkin. A couple of people have done
Speaker 1: this over the years, and we set it up by
Speaker 1: ce Lane's desk, and we've talked about this previously, but
Speaker 1: for those of you who are new, it was just
Speaker 1: up there and everybody's like, oh cool, the news junkie
Speaker 1: pumpkin would stop by, and we didn't take it down
Speaker 1: until some point in November, and it was possibly December.
Speaker 3: You get you could punch through it like you could
Speaker 3: have just it was if they were not like, hey
Speaker 3: we got some you know, we got to clean up.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think there was like a boss visiting or something,
Speaker 3: and there was some reason to do that.
Speaker 1: It used to be that the bosses would come into town,
Speaker 1: like people from New York City would come in from
Speaker 1: my Heart Media and they go, cee ln, we need
Speaker 1: to get rid of this, and you need to hide
Speaker 1: the bar that's on your desk, and we need to get.
Speaker 2: Rid of this, and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, those those days are gone. Okay, all the stories
Speaker 4: made the cut. Some guy cried on ESPN, we don't
Speaker 4: really care about I say.
Speaker 3: Bay of Hail, and we understood the weather was so
Speaker 3: bad last night though that it could have been either.
Speaker 2: You never know, but I do know this. It's time
Speaker 2: to get the hell out of here. Let's do today.
Speaker 4: I learned the following information may make you feel smarter,
Speaker 4: but will not actually really increase your IQ.

Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 2: This show right here, Rott Terry Show.
Speaker 1: That's right Drew Carrey's show from way back in the day,
Speaker 1: which I only slightly remember, but I do remember it
Speaker 1: a bit. Drew Carey was fired from his role as
Speaker 1: a spokesperson from an W Canada and he worked for
Speaker 1: them back in nineteen ninety eight. Why an episode of
Speaker 1: The Drew Carey Show depicting him eating out at a
Speaker 1: McDonald's and that was in violation of his contract even
Speaker 1: though it was his fictional character that was eating in
Speaker 1: the thing, he wasn't allowed to do that. He ended
Speaker 1: up getting fired today, and donkey basketball ever played?
Speaker 17: This?
Speaker 1: Donkey basketball is a variation of the standard basketball game
Speaker 1: play on a standard basketball court, but in which the
Speaker 1: players ride donkeys, as you might imagine.
Speaker 3: I'm in now.
Speaker 2: How do you find a basketball court?
Speaker 1: Will they where they will allow you to play donkey basketball?

Speaker 4: be able to figure it out today.
