Speaker 4: at the script and you think I'm you know, I'm

Speaker 4: Let's start off as we always do. Let's put our
Speaker 4: ears to the ground, our fingers on the pulse, let
Speaker 4: see what's happened to this great, big wide world of ours.
Speaker 4: And we go to the Toronto Blue Jays in the

Speaker 3: Did I get that right? Just out of curiosity?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Those are Yeah. No, I just saw t O R
Speaker 3: at h o U.
Speaker 6: Oh, good job.
Speaker 4: And then I saw Bieber, but I was pretty sure
Speaker 4: that's not justin Bieber, So you did not go that far.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: There's somebody uh on the mound here pitching and uh
Speaker 4: and a ball comes in the batter as they say,
Speaker 4: wallaps it and hits himself a home run, or so
Speaker 4: he thinks.
Speaker 8: Here we go, swinging a fly ball deep right center,
Speaker 8: Miles Straws sprinting.
Speaker 3: Back at the wall.
Speaker 4: He got him, He got him. There's just one minor problem.
Speaker 4: The guy who hit it still thinks he got a
Speaker 4: home run.
Speaker 3: And he's got it. Tremell is running all the way around.
Speaker 8: I don't know if I've seen that though a guy
Speaker 8: I under celebrating he caught. Maybe he thought it disappeared
Speaker 8: behind the glove, over the fence and you're so locked
Speaker 8: in you're not paying attention to you.
Speaker 3: Oh he do.
Speaker 4: That is tough, that that is. He goes all the
Speaker 4: way around, gets to home base, jumps on it with
Speaker 4: two feet, celebrating his home run, and then he looks
Speaker 4: up and goes, oh, son of a bitch, I wish
Speaker 4: that the shadow cast by his hat wasn't so dark,
Speaker 4: and like you could see his eyes a little better,
Speaker 4: because there's there is definite.
Speaker 3: Like what it's a deer at headlines.
Speaker 4: But he's like, oh God, I ran around, I did
Speaker 4: a shimmy, I did a couple of plis, prayed to God,
Speaker 4: you know, up up to the heavens. The he did
Speaker 4: all of the things, and then he realized right when
Speaker 4: he crossed home plate that he didn't actually hit home run,
Speaker 4: and then he just gets mike.
Speaker 3: Or horns or music.
Speaker 4: He went all the way around the pat like, oh
Speaker 4: the man, did you see him go through all of
Speaker 4: the phases of grief. You know, he's at first he's like, wait,
Speaker 4: he's questioning things.
Speaker 6: I like the announcer kind of calling him dumb, where
Speaker 6: he's like there was no smoke or horns or music,
Speaker 6: and he just kept going.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you, if I caught a ball that
Speaker 4: good and hit it over the wall and I thought
Speaker 4: I got a home run, I could be caught. In
Speaker 4: this case, I would have been just as excited as.
Speaker 8: This thing before home player and then said, hey, why
Speaker 8: is no one I was getting mad and standing there
Speaker 8: in the dug out.
Speaker 3: To pick up certain bases. You know, it's just like, God,
Speaker 3: that's embarrassing. I don't know. I think he's going to
Speaker 3: just swap bargaining for some extra anger.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but that you shouldn't be embarrassed. You really
Speaker 4: hit the ball very far. That's the thing about this.
Speaker 5: In sports, baseball players they're supposed to hit the ball
Speaker 5: very far. They're on Major League teams. That's true. That
Speaker 5: is true, Sea Lane. But here's the deal.
Speaker 4: Like when I see someone of this, I go, you
Speaker 4: still did something very impressive. I want to patch you
Speaker 4: on the back. Congratulates what you say to me if
Speaker 4: I hit the ball that far, No, even him, that's
Speaker 4: still a great feed. I say, you know, congratulations, this
Speaker 4: is an amazing feed.
Speaker 3: I'm so happy that you did this. Good feed baseball player. Yeah, indeed,
Speaker 3: there we go.
Speaker 4: Taylor tram touched every base before realizing he did not
Speaker 4: hit a home run.
Speaker 3: Kind of sad in a.
Speaker 4: Way, that's upside down. Aaron says, you guys just booted
Speaker 4: the penthouse straight off Real Radio ninety two to one
Speaker 4: oh West bomb Beach. I mean, we don't have any
Speaker 4: control over that. I don't know what's going on down there.
Speaker 4: Maybe they're like moving things around or something.
Speaker 3: Are you listening on the station station?
Speaker 5: You're listening on iHeart because sometimes when our iheartstreams go down,
Speaker 5: they cross wires.
Speaker 4: They yeah, something flips and flops and they put different
Speaker 4: shows on, or they're about to do to us what
Speaker 4: I said. They did it at California radio station yesterday.

Speaker 4: Steel And you're not yet to the point where a
Speaker 4: little Jackson has to be buttoned up and sent off
Speaker 4: to school just yet. All right, he is not not
Speaker 4: being pushed off to school just yet.
Speaker 3: I'm about a fortnight away from that.
Speaker 5: No, for real, he's going to like a day school, Okay, oh,
Speaker 5: really like a couple days a week, just like a
Speaker 5: little bit of a you know, make some friends, you know.
Speaker 3: Socialize them, socialize.
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, learn to be in a classroom situation.
Speaker 5: We're terrified because he does not listen very well. Well,
Speaker 5: but it's good.
Speaker 4: And it's needed like here, I'm what happens when you
Speaker 4: don't socialize a little boy, and you're what happens when
Speaker 4: you socialize a little boy. So, because you can understand
Speaker 4: the lessons here, hugging, big, lovable guy, everybody likes some
Speaker 4: you know, So that's what you want Jackson to be.
Speaker 4: Probably Jackson's gonna tower over them hit Lands. Yeah, it's true. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's big. He's a big boy. He's gonna knock him
Speaker 4: all down. He might have to boost him up a
Speaker 4: grade or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, some some parent you know at the the playground
Speaker 5: was like, oh is he in vp K already?
Speaker 3: And she's like he's two And she's.
Speaker 5: Like, oh, oh, oh, I thought he was an adult.
Speaker 3: I already brought him an ebike.
Speaker 4: So, very very soon you'll be sending him off to
Speaker 4: the big house.
Speaker 3: That's not what they call school.
Speaker 6: Why did I say, that's what they called jail.
Speaker 5: Hopefully you will not be setting him up to this.
Speaker 5: He's a little too young to think of school as jail.
Speaker 5: That was more of a middle school or high school
Speaker 5: joke that we all told. And less Things Phillips Federal Penitentiary.
Speaker 4: And less Things go really poorly for his first couple
Speaker 4: of weeks in school then and then true, but he
Speaker 4: will be going off to this preschool thing, and eventually
Speaker 4: we headed off to school. And right now we've got
Speaker 4: a lot of parents who are listening to the show.
Speaker 3: And when I saw this this morning.
Speaker 4: I go, oh god, I know that was nowhere close,
Speaker 4: nowhere close to what my parents had to go to.
Speaker 3: Ohy said, there.
Speaker 5: Are all the parents right now are planning their first
Speaker 5: day of school.
Speaker 3: Social media posts, their drinks, they're there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there, Margaret is setting up the camping chairs. Uh
Speaker 5: so you could watch the bus drive away with your
Speaker 5: child and yeah, toasts.
Speaker 4: All us families expect to spend nearly one thousand dollars
Speaker 4: on average to ship their kids back to school this year.
Speaker 3: Is that regardless of grade? It doesn't.
Speaker 4: I think it's just generally on average, the national average
Speaker 4: family families across the country, Our families across the country.
Speaker 3: It's early across America.
Speaker 4: Okay, families across the country are plenty to outspend the
Speaker 4: national average of nine hundred and twenty two dollars last year,
Speaker 4: which includes buying clothes, tech equipment for after school activities, books,
Speaker 4: school supplies, and one time purchases to get your kids
Speaker 4: back to school, and it's so crazy to think about it.
Speaker 4: One thousand dollars, I know, for me, getting back to
Speaker 4: school the next year was sort of this exciting thing.
Speaker 4: But one thousand dollars would be like out of the question,
Speaker 4: Like we wouldn't be anywhere near that. My shoes couldn't
Speaker 4: be anywhere near what everybody else was. I think I
Speaker 4: got like thirty five or forty dollars as my budget
Speaker 4: for my shoes. You couldn't get like the expensive Nikes
Speaker 4: or something, because they just kept them. Now they're outrageous
Speaker 4: now they're like two hundred, three hundred dollars for some
Speaker 4: of them. But then I would have to get like,
Speaker 4: here's a one hundred dollars We're going to Target or
Speaker 4: at the time maybe Kmart, and we're loading up on
Speaker 4: all of the things, and then my parent and would
Speaker 4: be like, Okay, well you don't need a backpack. And
Speaker 4: this was the curse of the Jan sport. People wonder
Speaker 4: why everybody still has jaan sports. Somebody mentioned Jan sports
Speaker 4: or backpacks that are in chat. The curse of the
Speaker 4: Jan sport is that those sons of bitches last so long.
Speaker 4: You can literally hand them down to your kids. They
Speaker 4: also have a lifetime warranty.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 5: I know if you have a Jam sport and it
Speaker 5: like rips for whatever reason, they're made so big that yeah,
Speaker 5: they will. My roommate when we used to play gigs together,
Speaker 5: he kept a lot of his gear in a Jan
Speaker 5: Sport backpack, and his backpack finally gave out, like it
Speaker 5: was he just used the hell out of it, and
Speaker 5: he's like, I think they have a lifetime warranty on these,
Speaker 5: and he looked it up and he reached out to them,
Speaker 5: and the backpack that he had they didn't make anymore.
Speaker 5: So they just sent him like a brand new ball
Speaker 5: and ass backpack and he probably still sporting that thing.
Speaker 4: And trust me, my dad back in the day would
Speaker 4: save every lifetime warranty he ever got, so that would
Speaker 4: have happened.
Speaker 5: But it was like, you don't need this about time
Speaker 5: quaranty drawer. We got you a Jan Sport.
Speaker 4: You know, I got like the kids version of a
Speaker 4: Jan Sport in eleventh grade or something.
Speaker 3: Still going with that thing.
Speaker 4: It's quite a situation, but it's one thousand dollars for
Speaker 4: a lot of you parents. Now that's what the story
Speaker 4: says at least, but I want to hear from you
Speaker 4: parents today. Let us know is that above or below
Speaker 4: what you're expecting to spend? And what are the things
Speaker 4: that are mega expensive? What are the things that kids
Speaker 4: bitch about these days? Just bring us in as we
Speaker 4: get into some of the other drama and stuff that's
Speaker 4: going on in the world today.
Speaker 3: Speaking of that, people are angry at.
Speaker 4: Me about yesterday's show. I don't know why. I'm surprised,
Speaker 4: but some people are angry. Allow me to read their
Speaker 4: complaints very quickly. Bonnie says two tips at Thenewsjunkie dot com. Hi,
Speaker 4: sean podcast listener here. I was listening to Monday show
Speaker 4: about an ambulatory person using a wheelchair. I'm an ambulatory
Speaker 4: person who uses a walker daily in a wheelchair when
Speaker 4: I need to stand or walk for long periods. I
Speaker 4: have multiple sclerosis. Some good and some are really bad.
Speaker 4: I'm not lazy, and I'm not working the system as
Speaker 4: somebody who was once very active. I'm grateful eighty AA
Speaker 4: accommodations allowed me to remain an active member of society
Speaker 4: instead of staying home. I still work out in stretch
Speaker 4: every day. I'm learning how to swim again, and I'm
Speaker 4: probably more flexible than the average person. Before MS, my
Speaker 4: normal routine was swimming a mile before work, teaching all day,
Speaker 4: and then heading to a spin class. I'm currently on
Speaker 4: year twenty three. Jesus of my diagnosis. I'll stop here,
Speaker 4: Bonnie for just a second. I have a strangely enough
Speaker 4: your name is Bonnie. My mother's name is Bonnie. I
Speaker 4: grew up with my mother's best friend in Plattsburgh, New York,
Speaker 4: visiting her once a year, and we would always stop
Speaker 4: by and hang out with her.
Speaker 3: And she had multiple sclerosis.
Speaker 4: And on the first time or two that I can
Speaker 4: remember visiting her, there was nothing wrong with her at all.
Speaker 4: And by the last time I remember visiting her, she
Speaker 4: was like immovable a in a wheelchair. And I know
Speaker 4: what the cur looks like. I've seen it, you know,
Speaker 4: I understand it from that perspective. Just in case you
Speaker 4: think that I don't all right, she said, I love
Speaker 4: your show, but Monday's podcast really pissed me off. I
Speaker 4: don't think you're ignorant, just uninformed about the wide range
Speaker 4: of legitimate disabilities. Disabilities aren't always visible, and comments like
Speaker 4: yours are exactly why I was embarrassed to use mobility
Speaker 4: aids I needed for years. I hope you'll reconsider how
Speaker 4: you talk to people whose disabilities don't fit this stereotype.
Speaker 4: Thanks for reading, says Bonnie. Dustin says along the same lines,
Speaker 4: I was watching the stream when you talked about the
Speaker 4: lady in the wheelchair. I don't know her condition, but
Speaker 4: as somebody with MS and severe spinal trauma, it's hard
Speaker 4: to call out someone without knowing what they were dealing with.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll tell you both.
Speaker 4: And I'll tell anybody else who was listening to that
Speaker 4: some of you might not have seen the stream side
Speaker 4: of things. This woman does not have multiple sclerosis. She
Speaker 4: is not claiming to have multiple sclerosis. She is claiming
Speaker 4: to have a variety of untested and unseen diseases or issues,
Speaker 4: and she is She is in most of her photos
Speaker 4: not using in most of her videos, not using any
Speaker 4: sort of wheelchair. You have to understand that while I
Speaker 4: sympathize with you in your situation, there are legitimately a
Speaker 4: non insignificant number of people who will put themselves in
Speaker 4: wheelchairs when they do not physically need them. And just
Speaker 4: as I think you should be supported in every way,
Speaker 4: possible in actually needing a wheelchair at assistance through things.
Speaker 4: People who do this with stolen valor should be one
Speaker 4: billion percent called out. Trust me, there was enough information
Speaker 4: on that woman that she appears to be like a
Speaker 4: self diagnosed weirdo freak, and she was trying to get
Speaker 4: attention with a video of her in a wheelchair.
Speaker 3: I just yeah, I just don't. I don't think it's
Speaker 3: the same thing.
Speaker 4: I think there's a misconnection going on there somewhere.
Speaker 3: But you have to.
Speaker 4: Understand, with what I saw about this woman, she was faking.
Speaker 4: So that's why I called it out as it was.
Speaker 4: Thank you for your emails. Feel free to email always
Speaker 4: tips at the news junky dot com. It's like, where
Speaker 4: did that happen?
Speaker 3: Again?
Speaker 5: I know it was somewhere in England. I want to
Speaker 5: say Manchester, but I'm having a hard time finding the
Speaker 5: original video.
Speaker 3: It was like the Manchester.
Speaker 4: It was like the Manchester a subway station or something,
Speaker 4: so it was somewhere around there. Hailfire says, no, Sean,
Speaker 4: You're oh good, went by fast. Your response should be
Speaker 4: I am sorry for making assumptions.
Speaker 3: This is foolish.
Speaker 4: This is a foolish thing we utilize what's called information
Speaker 4: that we have in front of us. And when you
Speaker 4: see something like this and then look enough into somebody's
Speaker 4: background and look at what their footprint shows online, you
Speaker 4: can oftentimes come to a conclusion that's beyond just an assumption.
Speaker 4: And what you're doing is continuing decide on like I
Speaker 4: just believe her. I think she tried despite mounting evidence
Speaker 4: that you may or may not know about. So no,
Speaker 4: I think that this was nonsense. I don't think she
Speaker 4: needed to be in a wheelchair. I think she was in
Speaker 4: a wheelchair for attention. Think that's what she was doing.
Speaker 4: You'll see this at the airport a lot of times.
Speaker 4: You'll see it at you see the theme parks. You'll
Speaker 4: see people utilizing this, wearing it as an aesthetic, sometimes
Speaker 4: as weird as that sounds, or simply trying to get
Speaker 4: the benefits that people who are actually disabled to deserve.
Speaker 4: But that shouldn't be surprising to any of us, right.
Speaker 4: We see this with handicapped parking spots. Anything like this
Speaker 4: that's designed to help out people who need actual assistance
Speaker 4: in our life is taken advantage of by people who don't.
Speaker 4: So that's what's going on here anyhow, Kevin emails tips
Speaker 4: at the news junky dot com.
Speaker 3: Good morning Junkies.
Speaker 4: Last week you spoke about THCHC drinks getting pulled from
Speaker 4: the shelves on seven point thirty one here in Texas. However,
Speaker 4: only Delta eight and Delta ten products have been banned.
Speaker 4: Those are mainly gummies sold at vape stores. THHCA drinks
Speaker 4: are Delta nine. God, this is so confusing.
Speaker 6: That's true.
Speaker 5: So yeah, but there's no way that everybody would just
Speaker 5: be missing this mundane detail, like the actual liquor store
Speaker 5: are reaching out to their customers and going, hey, just
Speaker 5: so you know, coming soon or the opposite of comings
Speaker 5: leaving soon?
Speaker 3: Are these THHC drinks? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I did not know that Delta eight, Delta nine, Delta ten.
Speaker 4: I don't really know the difference between them. I'm not
Speaker 4: going to pretend to. But when you say he says
Speaker 4: they will remain legal after the November law, I don't
Speaker 4: know if that's true. I don't believe that that's true.
Speaker 4: Sea Line's talking about the liquor companies. They're well, not
Speaker 4: the liquor stores, the retail cliquer stores. The retailers who
Speaker 4: are going to be hit by this they're absolutely suggesting
Speaker 4: that the supply of their THHD drinks are going to
Speaker 4: dry up. So I don't know if you're right, Kevin.
Speaker 4: I mean, I could be wrong, but I'd like you
Speaker 4: to be right. I would love if I was just
Speaker 4: so wrong about this one. I'm a disabled veterans serving
Speaker 4: twenty years in the army, and I don't sleep much,
Speaker 4: but these drinks have been a godsend for me. True,
Speaker 4: I sleep well now with their help. I've always refused
Speaker 4: to take prescription medicines and medications and still won't. But Sean,
Speaker 4: you're wasting money with those celebrity endorsed and big name drinks.
Speaker 4: Be like Selane, I buy the Buddies nine to ninety
Speaker 4: nine for a four path. They have ten milligrams, taste
Speaker 4: good and get me way too high. He says, Still
Speaker 4: here every day. Love the show, Kevin in Texas. Thank you, Kevin.
Speaker 4: Appreciate that the windows wide open for you. Tips at
Speaker 4: thenewsjunkie dot com or record your comments as a dispatch
Speaker 4: over on the website when we come back. We got
Speaker 4: some big drama in elections today. I'll explain to you
Speaker 4: what's happening with that. More flock camera stuff. There's a
Speaker 4: weird one that I want to address when we come back,
Speaker 4: that somebody found a flock camera in the most bizarre place,
Speaker 4: And I want to ask you if you think this
Speaker 4: is a good place or a very very bad place
Speaker 4: to have one of these flock security cameras. So we'll
Speaker 4: get that into your world and see what you think
Speaker 4: about it is coming up next in the News Junkie.
Speaker 4: Learn more about the News Junkie go over to the website,
Speaker 4: which is Thenewsjunkie dot com. Got something to show off
Speaker 4: for you a little bit later on in the show.
Speaker 4: But uh, people do get mad. It's been kind of
Speaker 4: an interesting thing to watch people do get mad about
Speaker 4: these flock cameras. Right the cameras, if you don't know,
Speaker 4: they're stationed all over the place. I've seen now Sela
Speaker 4: and I saw a second person who was camped out
Speaker 4: in a little chair next to a flock camera like
Speaker 4: the other guy with a pole.
Speaker 3: You got that pieces up there.
Speaker 5: What did the other guy have blocking the flock camera
Speaker 5: When we pulled the video, it was hard to tell,
Speaker 5: but somebody had claimed that it was their pool skimmer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not the guy's pool skimmer.
Speaker 5: That he was just like in a camping chair holding
Speaker 5: this pool skimmer to block the thing.
Speaker 4: Like this guy was at home and he just got
Speaker 4: so mad about flock cameras. He grabbed his pool skimmer,
Speaker 4: headed over to the nearest flock camera and held it
Speaker 4: up to block it for a while.
Speaker 3: And then it's like, hey, what's your name. I'll bail
Speaker 3: you out if you end up been counting. Some guy
Speaker 3: drove by was feeling for that guy.
Speaker 4: And then I saw another situation, which is another guy
Speaker 4: sitting down in a chair and he's holding a big
Speaker 4: poll up that was blocking the flock camera. People are
Speaker 4: really really growing into a ball of hate over the
Speaker 4: flock cameras. The flock cameras are becoming the new data centers.
Speaker 4: There's rage here, all right. There's rage that is being
Speaker 4: channeled in different directions. Anti data center anti flock camera
Speaker 4: are two of the big channels.
Speaker 5: Right As far as the target of your rage, I
Speaker 5: would agree with that, But if we're staying in the
Speaker 5: respective lanes, I think the flock cameras, I mean, just
Speaker 5: kind of by virtue of what they do, are becoming
Speaker 5: the new facial recognition software. I don't want to go
Speaker 5: down there because they have facial recognition software. I don't
Speaker 5: know software recognizing my face right. There is some there's
Speaker 5: a couple of weird things about this. Now, just keep
Speaker 5: in mind before you go crazy. Sometimes people misunderstand where
Speaker 5: I'm coming from or something. I don't support flock cameras
Speaker 5: generally speaking. I think they could be useful for some stuff.
Speaker 4: I don't know that they should be webbed and networked
Speaker 4: like they are now in some situations. Let's say you
Speaker 4: have a lows that you're running and you keep getting robbed,
Speaker 4: and all you need to do is stop the thefts,
Speaker 4: and you know, it's like one or two people ruining everything,
Speaker 4: and you install a camera that keeps an eye on
Speaker 4: all the cars that come in and out of your
Speaker 4: parking lot. I think that's well within your rights to
Speaker 4: do as a business owner to try to stop people
Speaker 4: from stealing from you, And it's one step above shooting them,
Speaker 4: which would be, you know, the ultimate release in these situations,
Speaker 4: so nobody dies, you know, that's that's fine. The problem
Speaker 4: I have is when police abuse these situations, which has
Speaker 4: happened in multiple occasions already, where cops have been searching
Speaker 4: the flock system try to find hot girls that they
Speaker 4: saw in cars driving by, or you know, track their
Speaker 4: their ex husband's or their their new new husband's x
Speaker 4: YU for Various stories like that have popped up, and
Speaker 4: one hundred percent disagree with that.
Speaker 3: I don't think they should be doing that.
Speaker 4: But then sometimes I see things where people just are
Speaker 4: freaking out and I go, I don't know, this seems
Speaker 4: okay to me. Tell me how you feel about this.
Speaker 4: Here's a woman, she found a flock camera. She says
Speaker 4: it's in a very inappropriate place. Let's listen to her.
Speaker 9: So I decided to go to the gun range today,
Speaker 9: you know, like an American. And why there are block
Speaker 9: cameras pointing into the entrance of the parking lot, not
Speaker 9: the streets, not the street, into the entrance so they
Speaker 9: can read every license plate that comes in here.
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, I love this. I love this. I'm sure
Speaker 10: there's no ulterior motive behind this.
Speaker 4: All right, she screwed up aulterior, but you know what
Speaker 4: she meant, right, she goes into the gun range because
Speaker 4: she was what she said, I'm just American.
Speaker 3: She's trying to do the American bank.
Speaker 9: So I decided to go to the gun range today,
Speaker 9: you know, like an American.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so she just go to the gun range like
Speaker 3: an American.
Speaker 4: And when she pulls up the gun range, she notices
Speaker 4: these flock cameras on poles inside the parking lot of
Speaker 4: the gun range, and she goes, well.
Speaker 3: This doesn't seem right.
Speaker 4: There's no ulterior motives to this, I'm sure, she says sarcastically.
Speaker 3: And I start to moll over that a little bit. Again.
Speaker 4: I happen to think that we have to do this
Speaker 4: very careful balancing act of security versus privacy, right Like,
Speaker 4: there's a very very careful balancing act that we can
Speaker 4: do there. And you think that too, I may you know,
Speaker 4: maybe you don't understand that you do, but I bet
Speaker 4: you do, because you go, hey, what is the level
Speaker 4: of crime I'm willing to accept in my neighborhood. I
Speaker 4: guarantee you it's not one hundred percent crime in your neighborhood. Right.
Speaker 4: So then if you said, if you added a bunch
Speaker 4: of flock cameras and security cameras and that brought it
Speaker 4: down to zero, would you be okay with that?
Speaker 3: Maybe you might be. So there's a dance.
Speaker 4: Back and forth between privacy and security that people tend
Speaker 4: to do all the time. If you were going to
Speaker 4: put a flock camera out of place, wouldn't a gun
Speaker 4: range slash gun store be a decent.
Speaker 5: Location to So yeah, I mean not for nothing, but
Speaker 5: this also could be the gun range themselves making the
Speaker 5: decision that like, hey, we think it would be a
Speaker 5: smart idea for us as a facility to have these cameras.
Speaker 5: And like we've said before, just because you get the
Speaker 5: cameras doesn't mean you much like having a ring camera doesn't,
Speaker 5: you know, it doesn't mean you have to opt into
Speaker 5: letting the police department access all that data or letting
Speaker 5: you know, any other number of you know places that
Speaker 5: would have access to flock camera data.
Speaker 3: You could use it just for your own yes, this
Speaker 3: is you can use it for your your own business.
Speaker 5: And then it's important and if and you can, you
Speaker 5: can keep the data and you can keep the data
Speaker 5: to yourself. And then if there's an incident at the
Speaker 5: gun range, or if there's an incident involving guns in
Speaker 5: the community, the gun range can then go hey, listen,
Speaker 5: we want to help. Here is a window of our
Speaker 5: data that these flock cameras took and here are the
Speaker 5: people that have been going you know, here are the
Speaker 5: license plate, right, have been showing up this thing, and
Speaker 5: that's up to the gun range.
Speaker 3: We have to understand that some or the gun range
Speaker 3: just said screw it. Tell the cops everybody, everybody.
Speaker 4: We don't know, but some amount of security is good, right, Like,
Speaker 4: I don't think there's any of you because I see
Speaker 4: like Florida Scratcher on YouTube says, now I'll protect my
Speaker 4: own property.
Speaker 3: That's nuts. I don't think you believe that. I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't believe you believe that.
Speaker 4: So if they said we'll take every security camera, every
Speaker 4: like body cam, every everything away and there's no security
Speaker 4: apparatus in the United States of America anymore.
Speaker 3: That and you just protect your own property.
Speaker 4: With your own gun and your own security apparatus that
Speaker 4: you have on your property, you would think that is superior.
Speaker 4: Because I don't think many people would agree with that.
Speaker 4: I think we want some element of security, you know,
Speaker 4: we want We agree that cameras at banks make sense. Right,
Speaker 4: We're okay with a camera at the atm right, right,
Speaker 4: I think most people are you okay with cameras in
Speaker 4: certain places so you could keep an eye on things
Speaker 4: and things could be more secure. So I don't think
Speaker 4: that many people want them to completely be annihilated. I
Speaker 4: just think it's like, hey, we shouldn't be spying on
Speaker 4: people who aren't engaged in any sort of criminal activity
Speaker 4: and just catching them in a wider net if at
Speaker 4: all possible.
Speaker 3: I think that's the bigger struggle that people have.
Speaker 4: But if you're going to put a camera up in
Speaker 4: the gun stores that they want good security, They want
Speaker 4: to make sure they know what's going on. They could see, Oh,
Speaker 4: the person who stole the gun was in this color car,
Speaker 4: this license plate here is what they look like when
Speaker 4: they were driving out of the parking lot, and we
Speaker 4: could send that over to try to get somebody to
Speaker 4: get arrested out of that. But she was not happy
Speaker 4: with this. She's like, there's an ulterior motives or alternative.
Speaker 9: And tell me why there are Yeah, cameras pointing into
Speaker 9: the entrance of the parking lot, not the streets, not
Speaker 9: the street, into the entrance, so they can read every
Speaker 9: license plate that comes in here.
Speaker 10: Yeah, No, I love this. I love this. I'm sure
Speaker 10: there's no ulteria motive behind this either.
Speaker 3: All right, no alteria motive behind any of it.
Speaker 4: Let us know you think, is that a normal place
Speaker 4: to have a camera like this a smart place?
Speaker 3: Are you against it? Are you for it?
Speaker 4: Give us your thoughts, send it a dispatcher and an
Speaker 4: email over it tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. I'm
Speaker 4: sure these are more places. Have you, guys, seen any
Speaker 4: of these around your house? I haven't actually seen one
Speaker 4: in purpose and in person.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: I I know where some of the ones are, and
Speaker 5: so I've kind of looked for him and I've seen them,
Speaker 5: but I had not in the normal everyday habit of
Speaker 5: just noticing them, like, oh, there's a flock camera. I'm
Speaker 5: paying attention to the road.
Speaker 6: Have you seen these, Josh, only in like a home
Speaker 6: depot parking lot?
Speaker 3: Okay, I seen them on the road.
Speaker 4: If I go to most home depots, I will see
Speaker 4: one then.
Speaker 6: I think mainly lows, but a lot of home depots
Speaker 6: I'm sure have them now too.
Speaker 4: We know why, Like why home depots because they get
Speaker 4: stolen from a lot. That's why they started to have
Speaker 4: these things. That's the issue. Young Colombian I think is
Speaker 4: right on this. Over on TJ Chat, he says, I
Speaker 4: feel like it really comes down to how all the
Speaker 4: data is being used if flock cameras were simply cameras
Speaker 4: that only worked for the business owner to protect their
Speaker 4: property and their merchandise, and they kept all the information
Speaker 4: to themselves unless they wanted to hand.
Speaker 3: It over to police.
Speaker 4: I don't really think there'd be much of a backlash
Speaker 4: at all. I don't think people would get upset about that.
Speaker 3: But you know, we'll see what you think.
Speaker 4: Send us your feedback over on the website right now.
Speaker 5: See which brought up that John Oliver did a thing
Speaker 5: about these, I guess this week, last week tonight, something
Speaker 5: like that. I look forward to watching it because I
Speaker 5: think they do a good job on that show. And
Speaker 5: Pisenberg was texting me about it too, And maybe I'm
Speaker 5: not as right about the keeping your data from the
Speaker 5: cops as I'd like to be.
Speaker 3: But we'll see.
Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, we'll have to look into that. And
Speaker 4: if you've seen it and give us like a synopsis
Speaker 4: of it, let us know. I'm not gonna see it
Speaker 4: playing John Oliver's whole show or something. I didn't catch
Speaker 4: that just yet. I've watched a lot of people talking
Speaker 4: about I've seen a lot of the stories as this
Speaker 4: breaks through. But we'll see what your thoughts are when
Speaker 4: we come back, this is incredibly inappropriate. There are a
Speaker 4: lot of places where you don't need to be naked.
Speaker 4: And I'm going to put this up on the top
Speaker 4: of the list, number one with a bullet please don't
Speaker 4: do that.
Speaker 3: Why is this? Why is this the thing?
Speaker 4: I'll read the story for you that is going viral
Speaker 4: right now that is coming up next on the news Chunky,
Speaker 4: there are a lot of places where I just don't
Speaker 4: want to be naked. I'm just gonna I'm gonna put
Speaker 4: that out there. I'm gonna say that. And I was
Speaker 4: asking the chat during the break, Josh Sea Land. I
Speaker 4: was asking chat the folks who are watching the show live.
Speaker 4: I said, what's the most inappropriate place to be naked?
Speaker 4: And only one or two people got the place that's
Speaker 4: in this next viral story that we're going to talk about.
Speaker 4: But they proceeded to say some things that I was like, yep,
Speaker 4: that that isn't an appropriate place to be naked. That
Speaker 4: is Yes, we'll go through some of those, but first,
Speaker 4: this is a new place that is launched. What they
Speaker 4: say is an offering that people are really going to love.
Speaker 4: And it's a South Florida steakhouse that has announced their
Speaker 4: doing nude dining. They don't need that. They're doing nude
Speaker 4: dining at the South Florida steakhouse. It's called Hollywood Steakhouse.
Speaker 4: They're offering a nude dining experience. So I mean, there's
Speaker 4: got to be more to it than just being naked,
Speaker 4: if you're gonna call it an experience. I guess Class
Speaker 4: sua Rey steakhouse, which sounds like it's terrible that, you know,
Speaker 4: like a strip club, Josh. Every great steakhouse has a
Speaker 4: simple name. It doesn't have a name like Class sUAS
Speaker 4: Re steakhouse.
Speaker 3: Classes in all caps.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like Jimbo's or Morton's or you know outback
Speaker 4: right bur Burns, Yeah, Lindas Yeah, simple right, you know
Speaker 4: what you say, the Class Steakhouse. Now you've lost me,
Speaker 4: and now they want people to eat a delicious steak
Speaker 4: meal completely naked.
Speaker 3: I do not know why anybody would want to do this.
Speaker 4: If you do want to do this, I'm all ears,
Speaker 4: it's okay, So email dispatch sending your audio dispatches so
Speaker 4: we can hear what your thoughts are over at the
Speaker 4: news junkie dot com. Why on earth would anybody be
Speaker 4: in the audience of people that want to do this.
Speaker 3: Here's local tims around experiences, stripping away. Emphasis on stripping
Speaker 3: away the traditional meaning.
Speaker 10: Fine horsemeal is on the menu, but clothes are not.
Speaker 3: Local times Jeff to Darien is live in Hollywood.
Speaker 7: Was an exclusive look inside Jack give us the naked.
Speaker 11: Truth another pardon, Hey there, guys, I guess this gives
Speaker 11: new meaning to I just don't know what he quit
Speaker 11: sugar out Tonight, in about ninety minutes from now, customers
Speaker 11: will go inside this front door right here, into this
Speaker 11: steakhouse for a unique dining experience, naked dining.
Speaker 3: And it's legal.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I hope so.
Speaker 3: It's not legal.
Speaker 4: They will all be arrested and auled off to jail today.
Speaker 3: They will be leaving wearing handcuffs right Like. We know
Speaker 3: it's legal, we get that part of things.
Speaker 4: But the class private soire steakhouse is offering up a
Speaker 4: nude steak knife, and everything about this just seems gross
Speaker 4: to me. I don't want to sit in a seat naked.
Speaker 4: I don't want to sit in a seat where somebody
Speaker 4: else is sat naked. I don't want to sit near
Speaker 4: a steak knife naked. I like nothing about this draws
Speaker 4: me in like I was only a handful of things
Speaker 4: I actually want to.
Speaker 5: Do naked seal. I've never eaten a steak naked. I
Speaker 5: don't think I've eaten much naked. And I think if
Speaker 5: I suggested to my wife, like, hey, you know, kids
Speaker 5: going to bed early, what do you say we have
Speaker 5: our steaks naked, she'd be like, what the hell are.
Speaker 3: You talking about? Get out of here with that. It's stupid.
Speaker 4: It doesn't even it's not even an exciting thing. Like
Speaker 4: if you want to be naked, there's things to do naked,
Speaker 4: but eating steak is not one of them. And here's
Speaker 4: the kicker. All right, First of all, inter sexism. It's
Speaker 4: like inter sandman, but a little bit different. Tickets are
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty dollars for men and one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty dollars for women.
Speaker 3: All right, okay, two hundred and fifty dollars for men.
Speaker 3: Hold the phone here.
Speaker 5: Different pricing for men and women is something you do
Speaker 5: at a club where you're trying to meet people.
Speaker 3: So are you saying that now during naked steak night?
Speaker 5: This is also like some sort of it's supposed to
Speaker 5: be private, but they're making it sound much more social.
Speaker 3: But listen to this.
Speaker 4: It's two hundred and fifty dollars for men, one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty dollars for women, and three hundred dollars for couples.
Speaker 4: Why do you think that is because they want single
Speaker 4: women to be there, yes, Or they want a couple
Speaker 4: if there's a If there's a man and a woman
Speaker 4: in a couple, you pay three hundred dollars, so that's
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty apiece.
Speaker 5: Or they want to curb the amount of single men.
Speaker 4: Yes, because otherwise it's going to be a bunch of
Speaker 4: naked single men with their steak knives sitting there waiting
Speaker 4: for you know, their food to be served in front
Speaker 4: of them. That's probably gonna be the outcome. So they say,
Speaker 4: men pay two hundred fifty dollars, women pay one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty dollars. A couple pay the couple's pay three
Speaker 4: hundred dollars. So that's that's what they do.
Speaker 6: Where is it.
Speaker 3: They're gonna sit on those chairs fully dressed. Let's do
Speaker 3: a new dinner. The diners not so much. They disrobed
Speaker 3: pretty much here, class pretty much here. That I mean,
Speaker 3: you don't know you're the you're the guy running.
Speaker 6: One guy he took his pants off on the sidewalk.
Speaker 3: It's like some people got a little exciting. House is the.
Speaker 12: Talk of the town and social media, not just because
Speaker 12: of the menu, but for what's not on it.
Speaker 3: The customers that is closed none. Is it choosing socks
Speaker 3: off first? Or how does it work? Well, we have
Speaker 3: a bathroom here. Murrat Ali is the chef and owner.
Speaker 12: He came up with the once a month concept to
Speaker 12: get new business, to generate some buzz and Chef Ali says,
Speaker 12: there is a market for this.
Speaker 3: And if you're saying is there, what are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: What do you want to say to those people who
Speaker 3: say that, please allow people to express themselves at our place.
Speaker 4: I had no idea where he was going with that,
Speaker 4: please allow people to express themselves that. I don't want
Speaker 4: to stop it. I just think it's not for me.
Speaker 4: I would never have any interest in doing this. If
Speaker 4: you would let us know why, Please explain to me
Speaker 4: the draw of this. What I can seem to find
Speaker 4: from any of their websites is why class is not
Speaker 4: only in all caps, but there's like there's periods after it.
Speaker 4: So they're like it stands for something. Okay, ladies and
Speaker 4: sexy studs.
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 4: Let's let's take let's take that in for a second. Josh,
Speaker 4: do you think the people who actually would show up
Speaker 4: for nude dining at a steakhouse are going to be
Speaker 4: attractive human beings?
Speaker 6: Or now I'm sure they're attractive to someone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 4: I think that if you stumbled in to the nude
Speaker 4: steak night, it would be exactly what you're expecting. Just picture,
Speaker 4: close your eyes. Picture That's exactly what it is, unless
Speaker 4: you're expecting a bunch of tens.
Speaker 3: Will that's not there? Before we're done here, do you
Speaker 3: find yourself staring at people? No, not at all. Yeah.
Speaker 12: Today the chef expects about twenty people men, women, some single,
Speaker 12: some not all of them nude.
Speaker 3: Dashiba Hart is your hostess.
Speaker 4: It's more so of a gathering to get to know people,
Speaker 4: new people in the city.
Speaker 3: I guess. So, were you cooking the nude ever or what? No?
Speaker 3: I love the Were you cooking? No, I'm not going
Speaker 3: to be naked? Pretty ridiculous, is.
Speaker 4: The professional establishment? Will all the people here be naked?
Speaker 3: Yes? Absolutely?
Speaker 4: Eating their steak with their steak knives and a bunch
Speaker 4: of single guys paying two hundred fifty dollars.
Speaker 3: Would you try it? Let us know what you think.
Speaker 3: Why would this be a thing.
Speaker 4: Go to the news junkie dive and send us your
Speaker 4: dispatch right now?
Speaker 3: Would you guys do it?

Speaker 4: What if your wife was like, this is really important
Speaker 4: to me, No, I think you would.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: They're going to be really important to her, I know,
Speaker 4: but if it was, if it was and she sat
Speaker 4: you down, she's like, look, I really want to do
Speaker 4: this is really important to me.
Speaker 3: I really want to do nudes take night.
Speaker 4: And and you don't you know, you don't give me
Speaker 4: a lot, give me this one thing.
Speaker 5: Here you go, I'll do it. What do you think
Speaker 5: would happen if I gave her that speech?
Speaker 3: She would say no?
Speaker 4: Obviously, yeah exactly, yeah, yeah, Because if she wants to
Speaker 4: do it, then that's fine. But if you want to
Speaker 4: do it, you want her to go along with it's
Speaker 4: totally different.
Speaker 3: We all understand that, right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Sure, for a guy to be there, it's not that
Speaker 4: big of a deal. But if a woman's going to
Speaker 4: be there, all the guys are going to be looking
Speaker 4: at that woman much more so that they're gonna be
Speaker 4: then they're go'n be looking at you if you're.
Speaker 3: Just a guy there. That's at least how I.
Speaker 4: Think this would go. Maybe you've been to one of
Speaker 4: these and you could give us your experience. You could
Speaker 4: tell us about that too. Tips tips at the news

Speaker 4: you and you can tell me if you think I'm
Speaker 4: crazy here, it's fine. I want you to be honest.
Speaker 4: I want you to be dead honest. After hearing this clip,
Speaker 4: all right, here we go. This is from a recent
Speaker 4: I think as SmartLess was doing one of their podcasts
Speaker 4: and they had Jonah Hill on stage, and this, to
Speaker 4: me was an example of absolute deluge usion that people
Speaker 4: get in Hollywood, just complete delusion. And here's Jonah Hill
Speaker 4: talking in the latest episode of smartlest.
Speaker 13: I love Brazilian jiu Jitsu, I love except my body
Speaker 13: is begging me to not love it. Forty two isn't
Speaker 13: My wife is often like, you're not going to become
Speaker 13: like a professional fighter.
Speaker 3: You know that, right, Like you're a comedian. Like, but
Speaker 3: let me ask you something. If we got into it,
Speaker 3: I fuck you up. Yeah I would. Yeah. And that's
Speaker 3: the best part. My favorite thing is people are.
Speaker 13: Like, oh, Jonah Hill, that guy from super bell and
Speaker 13: I'm like, I would annihilate that.
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding. Every fight riot, if you see me.
Speaker 4: Try it, fight ends up on the ground. Who's got
Speaker 4: it right right? All right here? Now you understand what's
Speaker 4: going on. So Jonah Hill has decided that now that
Speaker 4: he's been participating in I don't know for how long
Speaker 4: Brazilian jiu jitsu, that he can defeat all comers, that
Speaker 4: he would just annihilate all of these guys on the stage, which,
Speaker 4: by the way, Will Arnett's a pretty decent sized guy. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Will Will Arnett is like in decent shape. And Will Arnett,
Speaker 4: I know, people don't give him credit for it. If
Speaker 4: you job from Arrested Development, Will Arnett is a pretty
Speaker 4: big guy. And Jonah Hill thinks this is very much
Speaker 4: Hollywood mine. I've done Brazilian jiu jitsu, and of course
Speaker 4: none of these people are being easy on me at
Speaker 4: all because I'm a famous person, right, I've done Brazilian
Speaker 4: jiu jitsu, so I can kick all of your asses
Speaker 4: right now, I think, tell me if I'm crazy, I
Speaker 4: think I could kick Jonah Hill's ass.
Speaker 3: I think I could. Aren't you just doing what he's doing?
Speaker 4: No, I'm looking at Jonah Hill or it's different for
Speaker 4: you because you're not in Brazilian jiu jitsu. I don't
Speaker 4: think Jonah Hill's version of Brazilian jiu jitsu ever many
Speaker 4: months he's into it, is going to do for him
Speaker 4: what he thinks it is. I don't know that Jonah Hill,
Speaker 4: and here's the kicker to the Brazilians, even like super Bad.
Speaker 3: Why are they going easy on me because he's famous.
Speaker 3: I don't even think I might be wrong.
Speaker 4: I'm doing a little bit of assuming here, but I
Speaker 4: don't think a person like Jonah Hill has ever been
Speaker 4: in a fight. He doesn't strike me as a guy
Speaker 4: who's like, ever been in a real fight in his life.
Speaker 3: And then you go to some Brazilian.
Speaker 4: Jiu jitsu classes you're like, I could kick everyone's ass.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the case. Now, Just in case
Speaker 4: you start running wild here with this, I want you
Speaker 4: to know something about me. If you are a Brazilian
Speaker 4: jiu jitsu star and you have been doing Brazilian jiu
Speaker 4: jitsu for like five years, and you like you actually
Speaker 4: fight and spa other people and you're not jonah Hill,
Speaker 4: I'm not saying I could beat you up.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that.
Speaker 4: There's no skill in Brazilian jiu jitsu. I see the
Speaker 4: MMA guys. All those UFC guys could kick my ass.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying they can't. The only thing I'm saying
Speaker 4: is I still think I can beat up Jonahill. I
Speaker 4: still think I would win in a fight against Jonahill
Speaker 4: because I don't think he's actually learning any of this stuff.
Speaker 4: I think he's learning as much as your little kid
Speaker 4: when you drop him off to karate class.
Speaker 5: Whoa, whoa, I learned plenty of karate. I did not
Speaker 5: mean to hit you with astray there. No, it's funerable.
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't mean that.
Speaker 4: I'm saying I don't believe that this guy is some
Speaker 4: sort of threat that the people around him. I think
Speaker 4: Will Arnett is way bigger than him, and if I
Speaker 4: had to put money on one of them in a fight,
Speaker 4: I would say that Will Arnett would kick his out.
Speaker 6: Jiu jitsu people would tell you it's not about size,
Speaker 6: it's about how you maneuver.
Speaker 4: It's about how you maneuver. And don't they they like
Speaker 4: do the grappling right exactly.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they go to the floor and they roll around
Speaker 6: and do arm bars and whatnot.
Speaker 4: And they will get me and they'll get me an
Speaker 4: arm bar. Do you think Jonah Hill could beat you up?
Speaker 3: Josh uh.
Speaker 6: He has a lower center of gravity than me.
Speaker 3: He could take me to the ground. Probably.
Speaker 4: I would bet a hundred dollars that you would win
Speaker 4: in the outcub of you.
Speaker 3: Versus Jonah Hill.
Speaker 6: That's very nice of you.
Speaker 4: I don't think I'm being nice really, I mean, I know,
Speaker 4: hold on, why am I refusing that? I'll take that. Yes,
Speaker 4: I am being nice. I'm a generous and nice man.
Speaker 4: But I just think this is reality slapping people in
Speaker 4: the face. Now, all you bragilion are a Brazilian like
Speaker 4: a brigilion, All you Brazilian jiu jitsu. And then the
Speaker 4: blond said, how many is a Brazilian? All you Brazilian
Speaker 4: jiu jitsu people come at me.
Speaker 5: But just somewhere somewhere, somebody just hit cancel on their
Speaker 5: dad joke said.
Speaker 4: That all of you come at me, but please understand,
Speaker 4: don't be like the wheelchair emails or anything that happened
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the show. Understand the entirety of
Speaker 4: my point is not that I can beat up Brazilllion
Speaker 4: jiu jitsu people, not that somebody very skilled that it
Speaker 4: couldn't take me out in a fight or pin me
Speaker 4: or get me in an arm bar or whatever. My
Speaker 4: sole and only point is that Jonah Hill is a
Speaker 4: Hollywood celebrity who is having a fever dream that he's
Speaker 4: actually good at Brazilian jiu jitsu. And I with my
Speaker 4: fight history, my history as a kickboxer, just in case
Speaker 4: you're new around here as a boxer, all the fights
Speaker 4: that I've been into in my actual life, and keep
Speaker 4: in mind, fought fought Florida State Golden Gloves, fought boxing
Speaker 4: for about six years or something.
Speaker 3: Half of Oasis beat up one of the guys from Oasis.
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, you be true, did you beat him?
Speaker 8: Beat him?
Speaker 4: Not technically, but I was young and it was a
Speaker 4: It was more of a roll around fight, which technically
Speaker 4: would be like Brazilian jiu jitsu actually, but uh.
Speaker 3: I was uh.
Speaker 4: We rolled around. He tackled me. Noel Gallagher tackled me.
Speaker 4: We rolled around, and then I shoved him and he
Speaker 4: shoved me.
Speaker 3: I was fifteen years old.
Speaker 4: And then his bodyguard definitely got the best of me,
Speaker 4: so that that side of it, I did not win.
Speaker 3: So we'll see what you think about this.
Speaker 4: Do feel free to reach out tell me how wrong
Speaker 4: I am, or maybe you think I'm right. I think
Speaker 4: some of you Brazilian jiu jitsu people will be like, no,
Speaker 4: he's right. He like, if you're truly trained and very
Speaker 4: good at this, that's one thing. But if you're like
Speaker 4: a Hollywood star and they're blowing smoke up your ass,
Speaker 4: that's a completely and totally different thing. All Right, there's
Speaker 4: lots of dad jokes coming in for our rate my blank.
Speaker 4: Should we give a couple of them a shot? Here?
Speaker 5: Yeah, for him and then not play him?
Speaker 4: I know I want to. Here's finn Fan with a

Speaker 4: big elections going down today. I'll give you the viral
Speaker 4: stuff that's coming out of that, some of the clips
Speaker 4: of the folks involved saying things that maybe they wish

Speaker 4: on the news junkie dot com. The elections are going
Speaker 4: on today and like four or five people in chat
Speaker 4: seem to be following this. Are you guys following these
Speaker 4: elections at all? You know, competing?
Speaker 6: The only one I know off the top of my
Speaker 6: head is the Michigan one with what is it Haley
Speaker 6: Stevens and Abdul.
Speaker 4: That's the big one, Josh, that's the one that's been
Speaker 4: getting the most attention, because Hailey Stevens is a deliverer
Speaker 4: of pretty awesome viral clips, and she kind of was like, well,
Speaker 4: the living a van down by the river is kind
Speaker 4: of like Chris Farley and one of her clips it's
Speaker 4: Matt Foley. Matt Foley is whatever. You get the point
Speaker 4: the clip that went viral of her, this is it.
Speaker 4: I thought it was kind of endearing. People were making
Speaker 4: fun of her. I thought, this is what I want.
Speaker 4: I don't want politicians are where. She's like, we got
Speaker 4: a little.
Speaker 15: Jamie working on our behalf. I am going to be
Speaker 15: telling the stories on our behalf, and you better believe
Speaker 15: I'm gonna be doing it with a little bit of joy,
Speaker 15: a little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy,
Speaker 15: and a little bit of sicket to them.
Speaker 3: A little bit of ticket to them.
Speaker 4: You know, she holds her hands with her thumbs out
Speaker 4: and like a permanent thumbs up, and she's got those
Speaker 4: pushed out. I love it. I thought that was endearing.
Speaker 4: I think she's kind of corny. This is kind of
Speaker 4: what you want to be your your elected officials. Now
Speaker 4: you might disagree with her politics or whatever, but she's
Speaker 4: like a nerdy person. That's that's good. I don't want
Speaker 4: somebody to slick. Those are the people who want to
Speaker 4: take over the world. Those are the weirdos. Those are
Speaker 4: the people who have pretty radical politics. But Hailey Stevens
Speaker 4: is one of the people running for office.
Speaker 3: She's gone pretty viral.
Speaker 4: She's going against Abdul al Sayed, who's like Democratic Socialist aligned,
Speaker 4: But I don't think he has identified as being DSA
Speaker 4: or I don't think he's been.
Speaker 3: What's it called. I don't think they like.
Speaker 4: When they choose him to be their choice in the
Speaker 4: election with the name I'm missing, no no, no, not
Speaker 4: nominated endorsed. I don't think he's by the Democratic Socialist
Speaker 4: but he's like he's seen as the far left position
Speaker 4: and she's seen as like the centrist dem position in
Speaker 4: that race.
Speaker 3: Now let's pull these up.
Speaker 4: Can we start on the prediction markets with that race,
Speaker 4: and that's the big one. Let's see what they say
Speaker 4: is going to win, because I think Hailey Stevens, with
Speaker 4: her adorability and thumbs up, is probably going to thumbs
Speaker 4: up her way into a loss in this election because
Speaker 4: she's not crazy enough for the folks who are voting
Speaker 4: in the primaries. But let's see what she's doing on
Speaker 4: the prediction markets. It's not good, not looking like a
Speaker 4: in for her. It looks like Abdul el Sayed is up.
Speaker 4: All right, what's the percentage where we.
Speaker 5: At it's just three abdul oh, this is there.
Speaker 3: It's the margin of victory. They're not even letting her win.
Speaker 5: They're they're they're voting on the margin or they're predicting
Speaker 5: the margin of victory that Abdul el Sayed will win by. Okay,
Speaker 5: what do they think he's gonna win by? There's over
Speaker 5: fifteen percent? Fifty eight percent of people say over or
Speaker 5: equal to fifteen percent, eighteen percent say twelve to fifteen,
Speaker 5: and fourteen percent say nine to twelve.
Speaker 4: Nobody's favoring her. Then, yeah, it seems what set are
Speaker 4: you looking on right now? Cale she okay, go on
Speaker 4: the other one. What's the other one, market poly Market. Yeah,
Speaker 4: look on Polymarket, because I think they'll do more of
Speaker 4: a like fifty one forty nine kind of split. This
Speaker 4: is the big race that everybody's been paying attention to,
Speaker 4: and this is for the Senate seat in Michigan where
Speaker 4: Democrats are washing the contentious contest between Abdul Lsied, who's
Speaker 4: like a populist left wing guy, and then the moderate
Speaker 4: Haley Stevens. And as I said, I think like he's
Speaker 4: mopping the floor with our poles.
Speaker 6: Poly Market has him at ninety eight percent winning the
Speaker 6: primary and her at two percent.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, chance when I go to actual nominee
Speaker 5: and not like the margin of victory ninety eight to
Speaker 5: one is the same on call she So we are.
Speaker 4: To say, then if this guy, the more radical of
Speaker 4: the candidates, doesn't win, it would be a very very
Speaker 4: very surprising outcome. Yes, they're suggesting that they think he
Speaker 4: is going to win that election. Let's talk about one
Speaker 4: of the other ones here, which is of no, and
Speaker 4: it's the woman who's running for the governor. I believe
Speaker 4: Francesca Hong is her name. She's running for governor in Wisconsin,
Speaker 4: and I believe she is one of the Democratic Socialist people,
Speaker 4: and she I think was doing a little better. But
Speaker 4: I want you guys to bring up the numbers on
Speaker 4: f and Sesca Hong, who's running for governor in Wisconsin,
Speaker 4: because she just did some interviews that did not land well,
Speaker 4: like this one. Here she is talking about her views
Speaker 4: on CNN and they asked her, would you cancel Thanksgiving?
Speaker 19: You know, you've talked about your past positions that he
Speaker 19: keeps highlighting, and you know obviously likely would continue to
Speaker 19: do so before November.
Speaker 10: Should you win.
Speaker 19: One thing that they brought up as well was a
Speaker 19: post from you in twenty twenty one where you said
Speaker 19: Americans should cancel Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: Here's her post. This is the woman who's running for
Speaker 4: the governor. We'll see if she's gonna win or not
Speaker 4: in a second. She's running for governor in Wisconsin. Her
Speaker 4: post that got attention was from November twenty twenty, sort
Speaker 4: of the height of the woke wave. There she said
Speaker 4: canceled Thanksgiving. Should have done this in sixteen twenty one.
Speaker 4: If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize
Speaker 4: we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original super spreader
Speaker 4: event that killed Indigenous folks, fox and women, and so
Speaker 4: be it, so cancel Thanksgiving was heard.
Speaker 19: Take this In sixteen twenty one, the post has been deleted.
Speaker 19: Republicans have been highlighting it. They still believe that Thanksgiving
Speaker 19: should be canceled.
Speaker 20: I'm a chef and one of the first meals.
Speaker 4: If you don't start with no, you just say no.
Speaker 4: Like these people don't. They're winning a bunch of these elections,
Speaker 4: but they don't seem to care if normal people are watching.
Speaker 4: When somebody says you want to cancel Thanksgiving, just say no. No,
Speaker 4: I don't want to cancel Thanksgiving.
Speaker 7: That was for the community when I was sixteen, was
Speaker 7: a Thanksgiving meal.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 7: I always think my hospitality background and owning a restaurant
Speaker 7: for seven eight years that bring you books around the
Speaker 7: table to share conversation and build community is always a
Speaker 7: good thing. But Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly
Speaker 7: painful for many people in our community.
Speaker 3: No, it's not okay, let me just stop there.
Speaker 5: Thanksgiving is not if you think of Thanksgiving as a
Speaker 5: time where you just fight with your family the whole time,
Speaker 5: and it can be very painful for members of the
Speaker 5: communitee stupid.
Speaker 4: She said, Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful
Speaker 4: for many people in our communities.
Speaker 3: No, it's not, No, it's not. Thanksgiving is generally a.
Speaker 4: Great experience for most people involved. And even the people
Speaker 4: who will say like oh it's not the greatest or
Speaker 4: the conversation, the political they still don't believe that they
Speaker 4: wouldn't want you to cancel Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Well, she is the front runner on Kyle. She to
Speaker 5: get this Democratic governor nomination market.
Speaker 6: No, what's what's she up on polymok.
Speaker 3: No that she'll be the governor.
Speaker 5: No, No, that she'll be the Democratic nominee for the governor.
Speaker 5: So she'll be These people aren't winning the election. The
Speaker 5: election is to be. It's the primary.
Speaker 4: They will go up against a Republican and then we'll
Speaker 4: see if the general electorate wants the woman who can't
Speaker 4: say that Thanksgiving shouldn't be canceled or There was another
Speaker 4: clip of her talking about like how she has a
Speaker 4: white son, so it makes her aware of the proxy
Speaker 4: to whiteness, and she's she's.
Speaker 3: Got a lot, a lot of problems with white people.
Speaker 3: There's a lot.
Speaker 4: She made a lot of posts about being scared off
Speaker 4: by white people and not liking white people, which is
Speaker 4: always hilarious for Asians to do, because you Asians are
Speaker 4: whiter than any of the white people you're talking about. Generally,
Speaker 4: I put you in the white people category myself, But
Speaker 4: what do I know? So she she said a lot
Speaker 4: of stuff about that kind of stuff. She can't say
Speaker 4: that she doesn't believe Thanksgiving should be canceled. And she
Speaker 4: is the favorite, according to the betting markets right now,
Speaker 4: to be the next governor of one of our great
Speaker 4: states in the United States of America. She might win
Speaker 4: this primary and then she'll battle against a Republican and
Speaker 4: we'll see if that the anti Thanksgiving thing works in
Speaker 4: the general election. But there's more than those hold on,
Speaker 4: am I missing any? Is there any other big ones
Speaker 4: going on? Let's see. Here's here's one of the this
Speaker 4: is the showdowns. This is all the showdowns today because.
Speaker 21: Some history shot presidential race. Excuse me a moment here.
Speaker 21: So this is Donald Trump win in two years ago
Speaker 21: and winning in Michigan too. We know that one three
Speaker 21: different races he had win Michigan twice, all right, twenty
Speaker 21: sixteen and one in twenty twenty four. It's close, but
Speaker 21: about eighty thousand votes over Kamala Harris. Where do you
Speaker 21: look tonight now as these primary votes come in, You
Speaker 21: got to start down here with Detroit.
Speaker 3: This is Wayne County.
Speaker 21: That's where Dearborn, Michigan is highest Arab American population in America.
Speaker 21: More than a third of the population in Wayne County
Speaker 21: is African American. The Democrat, the so called moderate Haley Stevens,
Speaker 21: needs African Americans to vote for her. So I would
Speaker 21: look down here in Wayne think she needs everybody to
Speaker 21: vote for her.
Speaker 4: Judging by what I heard from that the prediction markets,
Speaker 4: I think she needs everything.
Speaker 21: Would continue to see, like Kent County, I get more
Speaker 21: democratic over the years, and she's hoping to do really
Speaker 21: well out here, and we'll see whether or not that's
Speaker 21: the case. He Meanwhile, down here, this is Washington Aw County.
Speaker 21: The reason I point this out is that when burd.
Speaker 4: He's doing the thing where you go from county to
Speaker 4: county to county, Okay, you have Slotkin versus Rogers.
Speaker 3: So that's twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: This is going back to the historical data to see
Speaker 4: who's going to win this. Yeah, these are just primary
Speaker 4: races that are happening in a couple of states. But
Speaker 4: this is what people want to watch to see, like
Speaker 4: where folks are at, who are they going to vote for,
Speaker 4: what kind of candidates are going to be successful, And
Speaker 4: we'll see what happens with these elections tonight. That would
Speaker 4: be crazy if that lady who hates Thanksgiving would be
Speaker 4: the next governor of a state. But we'll see how
Speaker 4: it all goes. Okay, election tonight, Yeah, tonight, tonight. Yeah,
Speaker 4: tonight is the primary in.
Speaker 3: Michigan.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, just a couple of those states, yeah, Orizon
Speaker 5: for another couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: I think no, no, no, this one is tonight, and it's there.
Speaker 4: They're watching all this stuff to see if it's like
Speaker 4: a symptom of where things are going to go in
Speaker 4: the future.
Speaker 3: Well, you can give us your thoughts on that.
Speaker 4: I don't think that kind of messaging is going to
Speaker 4: win any kind of general election because most people are
Speaker 4: normal and they don't want to hear somebody that can't
Speaker 4: say Thanksgivings a good time.
Speaker 3: That's weird as hell.
Speaker 4: But we'll see if the primary wind comes her way
Speaker 4: and this other or the folksy lady, maybe she pulls
Speaker 4: off a real big surprise when we come back. We
Speaker 4: got the hot sheet on the way. We've got a
Speaker 4: woman who's very upset in a department store. I'll play
Speaker 4: that for you. It's coming up next in the news. Junkie,
Speaker 4: I just saw the story that see Lane has texted
Speaker 4: me that's going to be apparently in the hot sheet,
Speaker 4: So I now it makes me want to get into
Speaker 4: the hot sheet more. So, Yeah, let's let's let's do
Speaker 4: the hot sheets news.
Speaker 3: But not like that's again reporting on the planet.
Speaker 1: Stories from the people on your springs and speakers are
Speaker 1: on the hot sheet with Sea La.
Speaker 5: That's right, the top five stories and the nonsense news
Speaker 5: brought to you by that mortgage guy down and we start, obviously,
Speaker 5: you know, with this little situation right here, beautiful. Some
Speaker 5: of the comments were like, hey, if you really want
Speaker 5: to like have a bad time, watch this at half speed.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, I didn't even think about that ready, Yeah.
Speaker 3: What so toast? No, oh my god.
Speaker 4: And then many of the time, I'm going to hack
Speaker 4: everybody in America and make that the sound that your
Speaker 4: dryer makes when you're closing.
Speaker 3: You mean, bing mag I'm gonna put that in there.
Speaker 3: So yeah, a lot of the comments also said, was
Speaker 3: there not a rehearsal for this particular performance?
Speaker 10: Why?
Speaker 3: Why did they not try to get ahead of this?
Speaker 3: And apparently they did.
Speaker 5: TMZ obtained video of the Motown legend Martha Reeves practicing
Speaker 5: the Star Spangled Banner, or as many called it, the
Speaker 5: star Mangled Banner before the woman's Pro Baseball League debut,
Speaker 5: and the rehearsal was nearly as rocky as the rendition
Speaker 5: that later had people piling on if you go, if
Speaker 5: you go, They do it a couple of times in
Speaker 5: this video. The TMZ got, yeah, if you go to
Speaker 5: one thirty three timestamp, she does stop and like start
Speaker 5: to try and give critiques here.
Speaker 3: Well, see, yeah, I kind of don't think it goes well.
Speaker 3: I hear it is.
Speaker 20: Just singing with me. Who'll singing the same note I'm singing.
Speaker 9: I don't think.
Speaker 3: I don't think I need them. She should have gone
Speaker 3: with that. She's saying it to her backup singers.
Speaker 4: She's right here, she's sitting down in the scenats with
Speaker 4: a microphone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't want to have.
Speaker 3: Oh I don't know they did. Would have been that
Speaker 3: much better with other backups.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I still would have been bad, it wouldn't have
Speaker 4: been much batter.
Speaker 5: It may not have been the worst Star Spangled banner
Speaker 5: I've ever heard if they had no backup singers, only
Speaker 5: because it seemed like one camp was singing in one
Speaker 5: key and one camp was singing in a different key
Speaker 5: and switching keys, and they were not together rhythmically in
Speaker 5: many parts. But Martha Reeves called out her backup singers
Speaker 5: during the anthem rehearsal, even though the game time brought
Speaker 5: no pitch perfect turnaround. At one point, she stops the
Speaker 5: singers and players that's out of tune before asking who's
Speaker 5: singing the same note, saying I don't think I need them.
Speaker 5: I don't need them, and says they could definitely carry
Speaker 5: a tune. TMZ also got video the backup singers performing
Speaker 5: the anthem at a hockey game, and they actually sounded
Speaker 5: really good. In other words, they might not exactly have
Speaker 5: been the problem. Martha said the wet and windy conditions
Speaker 5: contributed to the performance, along with the.
Speaker 4: Wait, what it was, they're not playing the baseball game.
Speaker 3: The baseball players could blame it on the rain and
Speaker 3: the wind.
Speaker 5: No, though the wet and windy conditions, she said, contributed
Speaker 5: to it, along with a lack of stage monitors preventing
Speaker 5: her from hearing herself properly during the WPBL debut. And
Speaker 5: I will say that it does suck not to be
Speaker 5: able to hear yourself when you're doing an anthem like that,
Speaker 5: especially at a big open stadium. A lot of times
Speaker 5: there's like echo and that's what trips some people up.
Speaker 5: But if she would have had like an inn ear
Speaker 5: or something, who knows if that would have been good
Speaker 5: for her, not good for her. The eighty five year
Speaker 5: old acknowledged it wasn't the performance she wanted, but was
Speaker 5: grateful to port the athletes at the groundbreaking new league.
Speaker 5: Phil Collins has opened up about his alcoholism and the
Speaker 5: fact that it almost killed him. He said, I've been
Speaker 5: very sick last year in an interview with Mojo magazine,
Speaker 5: and now the Grammy winner is offering details about that illness.
Speaker 5: He was open about his medical struggles in recent years,
Speaker 5: previously revealing he suffers from type two diabetes and complications
Speaker 5: from a spinal surgery, but in January, the former Genesis
Speaker 5: drummer noted he was under twenty four hour care. You
Speaker 5: remember those pictures of him when he was kind of
Speaker 5: wheelchair bound. I thought he was going to die at
Speaker 5: any moment. A lot of people thought he was going
Speaker 5: to die. There were people coming to say goodbye to
Speaker 5: him in his hospital room that he doesn't remember. He
Speaker 5: also said that at some later gigs he could no
Speaker 5: longer hold his drumsticks properly without feeling pain, even taping
Speaker 5: them to his hands to get through some of the shows.
Speaker 5: He said he experienced kidney issues and underwent five operations
Speaker 5: on his knee. The kidney issues were to his abuse
Speaker 5: of alcohol. He said, my kidneys were packing up, my
Speaker 5: organs were just seizing up, and then it's weird. I
Speaker 5: printed this out last night. This morning, I see a
Speaker 5: post on Facebook where some guy who did an interview
Speaker 5: with Phil Collins ten years ago said, ten years ago,
Speaker 5: I met with Phil Collins at eleven in the morning
Speaker 5: at a restaurant to interview him about his new book
Speaker 5: and him being three years sober. And the dude was
Speaker 5: downing white wine the entire time, like just glasses and glasses.
Speaker 5: He was on his second glass before they started the interview,
Speaker 5: and they just kept bringing Phil Collins wine and the
Speaker 5: dude was just pounding him at eleven in the morning,
Speaker 5: so you know it was a little bit of an
Speaker 5: issue for him. Yeah, I'm surprised, Like, dude, you're a
Speaker 5: journalist interviewing Phil Collins, did you agree to some things
Speaker 5: that you didn't reveal? They're in your interview about his
Speaker 5: sobriety that he was drinking the whole time.
Speaker 3: Seems like something that.
Speaker 5: Like an actual journalist would have gone like, this is
Speaker 5: the bombshell here, like, hey, Phil Collins is dying and
Speaker 5: here's why.
Speaker 3: Yes, I've got the exclusive.
Speaker 5: Ariana Grande is taking a step back from public life.
Speaker 3: Guys. I'm sorry. I know that you really wanted to
Speaker 3: see her.
Speaker 5: She she's finishing up the tour that she's on, but
Speaker 5: and she even like kind of addressed some of these
Speaker 5: things at one of her recent stops. But she's pulling
Speaker 5: out of the upcoming London revival of Sunday in the
Speaker 5: Park with George, which was a musical she was supposed
Speaker 5: to start. I know, she was supposed to appear opposite
Speaker 5: her Wicked co star Jonathan Bailey in a new production
Speaker 5: of the Stephen sondheim critically acclaimed musical in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 5: But she wants some time off, she wants, she wants
Speaker 5: to be out of the public light. The announcement came
Speaker 5: days after she released the music video for Pedal, the
Speaker 5: title singer from a single from her newly released eight
Speaker 5: studio album, the one that sparked speculation about her weight
Speaker 5: loss and her health.
Speaker 4: Question, is there any reason why somebody would be as
Speaker 4: skinny as Ariana Grande appears to be? And and everything
Speaker 4: is fine? Yeause you're like, well, no, this is just
Speaker 4: her her, you know, her body produces more of this
Speaker 4: or that and or is it literally just like this
Speaker 4: person obviously has body issues and they've they're way too thin.
Speaker 3: She's like bone thin. It could be a little both.
Speaker 3: She has seemed really thin lately, but you know, we
Speaker 3: have to take her word for it.
Speaker 4: I wonder I always wonder who's releasing the photos because
Speaker 4: the promo and the photos that they released seem to
Speaker 4: be like the worst ones that really show her ribs.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, are they using this as a promotional tool?
Speaker 4: So that's not good.
Speaker 5: One of her new songs on the album, Like I Do,
Speaker 5: includes a possible dig at years of headlines about her weight,
Speaker 5: saying I've got s to talk keeps me well fed.
Speaker 5: All right, okay, okay, I know you guys are on
Speaker 5: pins and needles, so I'll just say it. The theme
Speaker 5: for the twenty twenty seven met Gala has been revealed
Speaker 5: Nassian's biggest night to honor controversial designer John Galliano, and
Speaker 5: controversial is picking up a lot of weight there in
Speaker 5: that sentence, because the theme is called John Galliano Horizons,
Speaker 5: tribute to the scandalous and pioneering fashion designer. Galiana sixty
Speaker 5: five catapulted to start him as a dazzling nineteen nineties designer.
Speaker 3: At Dior DaVinci.
Speaker 5: He was championed by Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who also
Speaker 5: runs the Matt galap but his career went up in
Speaker 5: flames after he was filmed in December of twenty ten
Speaker 5: drunkenly ranting at two women he mistakenly believed were Jewish,
Speaker 5: that he loves Hitler and that their forefathers would be
Speaker 5: effing gast and effing dead.
Speaker 6: Wow. Kanye before Kanye he was?
Speaker 20: He was?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was Kanye before Kanye was at the METGA.
Speaker 4: Hold On, is there any contexts that would make us
Speaker 4: think differently about this.
Speaker 3: Jewey or something she didn't.
Speaker 6: Say Jonahill said that he would kick his ass.
Speaker 3: Oh okay.
Speaker 5: He was gradually able to navigate a return of the
Speaker 5: spotlight after his longtime close friend Kate Moss enlisted him
Speaker 5: to design her a wedding dress that was his ticket
Speaker 5: back into stardom. Win Tour announced that the met gala
Speaker 5: this Friday, insisting his career isn't defined by a moment. Well,
Speaker 5: that's good for him, because that was a pretty bad moment,
Speaker 5: and that the darkness in John's past would be addressed
Speaker 5: by the exhibition accompanying the event. Does that mean there's
Speaker 5: gonna be some people that are like praising his good
Speaker 5: work and then some people sort of spotlighting his.
Speaker 6: Dress, like that we're going to have a boy in
Speaker 6: the striped pajamas there.
Speaker 4: You got to look close to the people who are
Speaker 4: too big of fans, right if it was like if
Speaker 4: they like it a little too much?
Speaker 3: Quick? How many Fast and the Furious movies are there?
Speaker 22: Go?
Speaker 5: Josh go eleven? Sean, No, somebody you get one one
Speaker 5: of using the other's act. It's actually ten. Ten is
Speaker 5: the number, but eleven is coming. And Vin Diesel is
Speaker 5: very pleased with the script, saying I just read the
Speaker 5: Fast Forever script and it's the best script I ever
Speaker 5: I have read in decades.
Speaker 6: I am still crying because he's only been reading Fast
Speaker 6: and Furious script.
Speaker 4: True.
Speaker 5: I think the fark headline said Vin Diesel has only
Speaker 5: read two scripts. He also teased the reunion between Dom
Speaker 5: and the late Paul Walker character Brian O'Connor.
Speaker 3: Does that mean are they.
Speaker 4: Gonna bring him back with AI or something? Because I
Speaker 4: just gonna kill off Dom. Oh could take that, I can.
Speaker 4: It could be a weird spoiler. And I did want to,
Speaker 4: you know, just kind of shoehorn this in here before
Speaker 4: we finish up, because we forgot to get to it yesterday.
Speaker 4: And I know Josh has been mourning the passing of
Speaker 4: soprano star Vincent Pastor aka Big Pussy Rip Big Pussy
Speaker 4: dead at eighty, the veteran actor best known for playing
Speaker 4: Salvator bon Benzia.
Speaker 3: Oh nailed it, Did I get it right? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Big Pussy is just easier to say. That's why they
Speaker 5: called him that. He's survived by his daughter, Little Pussy.
Speaker 3: So if you have a quote for a mortgage, Oh,
Speaker 3: he's gonna love this. Yeah. If you have a quote
Speaker 3: for a mortgage and you have not shopped it around?
Speaker 3: What are you doing? It's the number one mistake people make.
Speaker 3: You got to shop around. You would do it for
Speaker 3: a car, you do it for the house itself. Why
Speaker 3: not do it for the mortgage. That mortgage guy Don
Speaker 3: wants to help you. He says, you know, he's.
Speaker 5: Been able to get so many of our listeners and
Speaker 5: so many of our friends really great deals on their
Speaker 5: mortgage and he wants to help you too. So hit
Speaker 5: him up today at that mortgage Guy Don dot com.
Speaker 4: All right, quick break, we have an interview and just
Speaker 4: a bit, we're gonna get into a big, big, big
Speaker 4: drama that's been floating around out there, and we'll do
Speaker 4: that through a chat that's coming up next on the news.
Speaker 4: Chunk Y guys, we've been talking about this a lot,
Speaker 4: but we need to go to an expert.
Speaker 3: We need to figure some things out. Seelane, Josh.
Speaker 4: We've been talking a lot about the blue dot fever thing,
Speaker 4: and now we go to the source, to the expert,
Speaker 4: to the guy who knows about the concerts out there
Speaker 4: that are failing, why they're failing, all the rest of it,
Speaker 4: Ticket data, Keith, are you with.
Speaker 3: Us, friend?
Speaker 20: I'm here? How you doing all right?
Speaker 22: There?
Speaker 3: He is ticket data, Keith.
Speaker 4: You run this website ticket data dot com where you
Speaker 4: show what concerts are flopping miserably, what concerts are like
Speaker 4: pacing in the right direction. You know what cities are
Speaker 4: bands doing better than others? Or you know, is somebody
Speaker 4: completely flopping.
Speaker 3: All of that.
Speaker 4: Stuff is on ticket ticket data dot com. And I
Speaker 4: saw one of the posts that you put out which
Speaker 4: got over a million views, and you said, is this
Speaker 4: a new record for the most blue dots? And it
Speaker 4: is a concert for Ludacris, T, I, No, Rick Cross,
Speaker 4: Big X the Plug and it's in Louisville, coming up
Speaker 4: on ten thirty one. And I got to be honest
Speaker 4: with you, Keith, there is a lot of blue.
Speaker 6: Whoa, there's a lot.
Speaker 20: Of blue there. That's like a blue ocean.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of blue.
Speaker 23: I love Ludacris, TI and Rick Cross. I don't I
Speaker 23: don't know much about the The last time.
Speaker 3: This was a big break. It was his big break
Speaker 3: to open Chris. Yeah.
Speaker 23: Well, I don't know if he's going to get that opportunity.
Speaker 3: What happens in these kind of cases.
Speaker 4: You look at this and you say, these people are
Speaker 4: throwing a big show and nobody is buying the tickets
Speaker 4: to their show.
Speaker 3: Do we know why?
Speaker 4: Is it because they just aren't as popular or is
Speaker 4: it because the tickets are too expensive?
Speaker 3: What do we know?
Speaker 23: Sure, so this is kind of a this is an
Speaker 23: interesting one since that show is like a one off.
Speaker 23: It's not like the four of these guys are going
Speaker 23: intoing a big tour with each other, which is a
Speaker 23: lot of these other you know, blue dot flu, blue
Speaker 23: dot fever, I'll call it what you want.
Speaker 20: A lot of those are kind of.
Speaker 23: Like tour related, you know, and you look at a
Speaker 23: certain artists and you know, all their shows are kind
Speaker 23: of look like this. But this is kind of a
Speaker 23: one off event that's probably just being done by like
Speaker 23: a promoter.
Speaker 20: That's you know, focus on that one show.
Speaker 23: But yeah, as as you can see there, I mean
Speaker 23: it's like, uh, you know, to the people who are
Speaker 23: on audio and not you know, don't see the visual,
Speaker 23: it's like, uh, you know, I'm gonna say like ninety
Speaker 23: let's say ninety seven percent the tickets are available, and yeah,
Speaker 23: it's kind of there for everyone to see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for those of you who don't know, they call
Speaker 4: it blue dot fever flu or whatever, because an artists
Speaker 4: will sit there and look at the venues they're playing,
Speaker 4: and the blue dots represent seats that are not sold.
Speaker 4: They're available, you can click them and buy a seat,
Speaker 4: but the other ones it turns kind of gray or
Speaker 4: whatever when you've purchased, when somebody has purchased those seats,
Speaker 4: and you feel like you're immensely sick when you look
Speaker 4: at the map and ninety something percent of the tickets
Speaker 4: are for sale, and then you start thinking about yourself
Speaker 4: performing in that arena with a tiny, tiny little crowd
Speaker 4: of people who are watching.
Speaker 3: When you see this, though, Keith, do you.
Speaker 4: Think, like, is that concert more likely to be canceled?
Speaker 4: There's gonna go. We can't do it in front of fifty.
Speaker 23: I would say yeah, I'd say that the chances of
Speaker 23: that of this show happening in this stadium or I'll
Speaker 23: give it ten percent. You know, it's certainly possible to
Speaker 23: move to a to a smaller venue. So that's wrappens
Speaker 23: a lot of times in cases like this, where they
Speaker 23: just decide, you know, let's just scrap all together.
Speaker 20: This wasn't meant to be.
Speaker 23: You know, this is an interesting one, especially given that
Speaker 23: you know the cheapest tickets the cheapest face value for
Speaker 23: the show at one hundred and ten bucks. So you know,
Speaker 23: it's it's one thing that's it's like, oh okay, you know,
Speaker 23: there's thirty other tickets that they're not selling, but it's
Speaker 23: you know, it's not like it's not like there's any
Speaker 23: cheap tickets to the team and you had here.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 4: You look at the charts and the changes over time
Speaker 4: of some of these artists and then the average price
Speaker 4: that people are paying, and sometimes it'll be for somebody
Speaker 4: who I don't even recognize.
Speaker 5: Have there been any tours or any any shows recently
Speaker 5: where you can get in the door for thirty bucks?
Speaker 3: That seems like a past.
Speaker 23: You know, it's it's definitely sure, it's not you know,
Speaker 23: in this day and age, that's that's not the norm.
Speaker 23: But yeah, you know, you've got to be selective. You know,
Speaker 23: if you're talking about like a you know, a top
Speaker 23: twenty artist that's doing a big arena tour, sure, you know,
Speaker 23: tickets are usually starting closer to one hundred bucks, but
Speaker 23: you know, at a lot of times too on resale,
Speaker 23: just as as often as there's a lot of stuff,
Speaker 23: you know, over face value on REA. A lot of
Speaker 23: these shows, you know, resellers buy up and they think prices,
Speaker 23: you know, they think they're going to make money, and
Speaker 23: then you know day of the show that that ticket
Speaker 23: that somebody paid hundred bucks for is, you know, is
Speaker 23: available for thirty bucks on on resale.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about something with a little bit of controversy
Speaker 4: attached to it. I see that Modest Mouse they're tour
Speaker 4: right now, and we we were talking about on the
Speaker 4: show yesterday. See like who wasn't in Modest Mouse, Like
Speaker 4: some guy was going to the.
Speaker 5: The guitarists slid into some teens DMS or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he was saying she looked sexy in a
Speaker 4: bikini or he was looking at his bikini photos and
Speaker 4: he sends.
Speaker 5: Her the picture of the big, giant black dude with
Speaker 5: the big with big wiener.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was like there was a porn photo that
Speaker 4: he sent to her. And then she goes, oh, I
Speaker 4: think he must have been hacked, and he goes, uh, no,
Speaker 4: I just partied all night long and I'm looking at
Speaker 4: of one eye, but still I still see you in
Speaker 4: these bikini photos.
Speaker 3: So controversy for them.
Speaker 4: And I look at modest Mouse and their ticket prices
Speaker 4: have declined twenty nine cent or twenty nine percent over
Speaker 4: the last three days. So do you see that like
Speaker 4: a lot of times, if there is some sort of
Speaker 4: scandal that's what the price drops are attached to.
Speaker 20: I don't, I don't, you know, I would say a lot.
Speaker 20: I'd say the average price drop.
Speaker 23: Is not related to, you know, a porn scandal or
Speaker 23: something like that.
Speaker 20: This is definitely interesting.
Speaker 23: You're sometimes you're, you know, any news as good news,
Speaker 23: but that certainly does not seem like that that's panning
Speaker 23: out for Office Mouse here. But yeah, that that is
Speaker 23: quite interesting, and you know, yeah, you know, something like that,
Speaker 23: maybe a lot of a lot of people are I
Speaker 23: guess offended by that. I don't know the the nitty
Speaker 23: gritty details of that situation, but yeah, you know that
Speaker 23: that's certainly interesting if you are seeing, you know, if
Speaker 23: ticket data is showing that there is a price declined,
Speaker 23: and it seems pretty much the timeline matches.
Speaker 20: Up with what's going on there.
Speaker 3: Real quick with ticket data.
Speaker 5: When I'm looking at these three day changes, I'm guessing
Speaker 5: those aren't face value prices going up and down.
Speaker 3: Is that the it's looking.
Speaker 23: At all everything is on ticket data buying large just
Speaker 23: looking at you know, resale prices and then you know,
Speaker 23: three day three day changes is good if you're kind
Speaker 23: of close to the event.
Speaker 20: But sometimes you get a better picture if.
Speaker 23: You you know, if you change that like the you know,
Speaker 23: you can see the two days or the two week
Speaker 23: change of the or the one month change will sometimes
Speaker 23: give you a better idea of you know, how things
Speaker 23: are trending, especially if you then is not you know,
Speaker 23: like this week.
Speaker 4: Who is on tour right now as far as the
Speaker 4: concert side of things that is selling way better than
Speaker 4: everybody else, Like who are the people who are really
Speaker 4: taking off?
Speaker 23: Probably you know, Ariana Grande had you know, had this
Speaker 23: mega tour and they get in price. That's you know,
Speaker 23: the cheapest ticket to get into any of the shows
Speaker 23: was for many of these shows was around seven hundred
Speaker 23: bucks for for.
Speaker 20: A long time. She's doing arenas.
Speaker 23: But you know we've seen that, uh you know, in
Speaker 23: the in the days leading up to these shows, a
Speaker 23: lot of the prices are coming down. There's being some
Speaker 23: tickets released uh you know, not on reseal, just like
Speaker 23: front of the box office last minute, and that is
Speaker 23: you know, causing the market.
Speaker 20: I don't want to say flood of it because that's
Speaker 20: that's a little bit extreme, but you know, putting it.
Speaker 23: But once you know, if an artist releases a lot
Speaker 23: more tickets last minute, that tends to cause prices on
Speaker 23: resale to come.
Speaker 3: Down, and probably another another another.
Speaker 23: You know that cumest to mind is, you know, Harry Styles,
Speaker 23: he's got that that big residency coming up at at
Speaker 23: m S she's doing. She's doing thirty nights there, which
Speaker 23: is you know, such a such a big number, you know,
Speaker 23: especially U you know at a big venue, like.
Speaker 4: There's people who could still sell like crazy, Like I
Speaker 4: know in a particular venue like the Sphere in Vegas,
Speaker 4: those Backstreet Boys shows and all these different things, they
Speaker 4: still sell like crazy. People feel like they're getting their
Speaker 4: money worth, but sometimes they don't see.
Speaker 3: Like what were you reacting to?
Speaker 5: I was looking at like a week out and the
Speaker 5: get in price, which I think this is a really
Speaker 5: cool website Keith ticket data dot com, by the way,
Speaker 5: and I sorted by the most expensive get in price
Speaker 5: and Sarah torga Saratoga horse racing. The get in price
Speaker 5: it's ten and eighty one dollars. Do I get to
Speaker 5: race a horse.
Speaker 23: If you get to race a horse, so you get
Speaker 23: to her, you get three races.
Speaker 20: You know, you get to be the jockey, whether.
Speaker 3: You're you know, a jockey, that would be hilarious.
Speaker 4: I would think about and if we could get Sea
Speaker 4: Lane on top of one.
Speaker 3: Of those horses, that would be something. Man, that's right.
Speaker 20: So what's what's going on there? Is?
Speaker 23: Uh, you know, that's just there's a there's some events
Speaker 23: like that that have so few tickets listed on resale
Speaker 23: that there's maybe just one seller out there who listed
Speaker 23: a ticket and he's the only guy out there with
Speaker 23: any tickets, and nobody's gonna buy it unless one of
Speaker 23: the three of you want it, you know, want to
Speaker 23: buy it for ten thousand dollars. I probably wouldn't suggest that,
Speaker 23: you know, that's that's what's going on there. So it does,
Speaker 23: you know, you can sort by descending price, but just
Speaker 23: you know, add that context in there that you might
Speaker 23: have some of these junk events that you know, nobody's
Speaker 23: really paying that for that for for horse reasons.
Speaker 4: What about the world of sports, is there any like
Speaker 4: league or any type of sport where the tickets are
Speaker 4: really going down because people are not really buying as
Speaker 4: many tickets to this sport.
Speaker 23: I uh, I mean, you know the I don't know
Speaker 23: how how in tune you guys wrote to like World
Speaker 23: Cup ticket prices and people were people like in the
Speaker 23: weeks leading up to the tournament, prices were coming down,
Speaker 23: and there was like a lot of talk.
Speaker 20: About how you know, the you know, FIFA.
Speaker 23: Was so greedy and there's gonna be all these empty stadiums,
Speaker 23: and then we actually saw the complete opposite was that
Speaker 23: as soon as the tournament started like that we're really
Speaker 23: talking about the World Cup, and every stadium was packed
Speaker 23: and rocking. So that's kind of the opposite of what
Speaker 23: you're asking. You know, there are some there are some
Speaker 23: NFL teams, you know, let's say maybe like you know,
Speaker 23: the Titans probably come to mind. You know, the average
Speaker 23: get in price, you know, the average if you just
Speaker 23: want to get the cheapest nose, we'd take it for
Speaker 23: like a Titans game is something I think the upcoming
Speaker 23: season might be around like the thirty dollars range, which
Speaker 23: is which is pretty cheap for NFL. And then compare
Speaker 23: that to something like say the Buffalo Bills. They've got
Speaker 23: their new their brand new stadium.
Speaker 20: This year.
Speaker 23: Everybody's real hype to go there and see a game.
Speaker 23: And it's the average trace there is over four hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: So wow, you've.
Speaker 5: Got preseason games, preseason, NFL preseason New England Patriots at
Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3: Uh, seven seven months you can get in, guys, nice?
Speaker 3: Which is it? You know?
Speaker 20: Which?
Speaker 23: I think isn't A lot of and a lot of
Speaker 23: NFL preseason games are stinkers. I mean, I live in Cincinnati.
Speaker 23: I have Bengal season tickets to ninety. I love going
Speaker 23: to games. But to me, like a preseason game is
Speaker 23: just kind of.
Speaker 6: Like, you know what, I don't know what's the point.
Speaker 23: It doesn't I don't know about you guys, if your
Speaker 23: big NFL fans, but yeah, it's kind of like, what's
Speaker 23: the point.
Speaker 4: Well, well we're talking to Keith from ticket Data. Let's
Speaker 4: end with this. Keith, what's the secret? You've watched all this,
Speaker 4: You've seen all the data. You're crunching the numbers all
Speaker 4: the time on ticket data dot com. If people want
Speaker 4: to get the best deal, when do they buy? What's
Speaker 4: the strategy they use to get tickets to stuff?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 20: Absolutely?
Speaker 23: So you know the term everybody likes to turn around
Speaker 23: in the ticketing and industry is you know, is that
Speaker 23: it pays to wait, which basically means you know, the
Speaker 23: you know you wait, you kind of wait it out
Speaker 23: and buy and large you know, prices or do you do,
Speaker 23: tend to come down as the event approaches. But you know,
Speaker 23: just understand that that holds true a lot of the time.
Speaker 20: There's certainly you know.
Speaker 23: Vuries my event, but there's a good twenty percent of
Speaker 23: the time we're prices go the other way, like we
Speaker 23: saw with the World Cups. So you know, so many
Speaker 23: people saw a price coming down and you know, thought
Speaker 23: they were going to get these shoot tickets and the
Speaker 23: next you know they were they were priced out of
Speaker 23: the event and didn't.
Speaker 3: Get to go.
Speaker 20: So prices usually come down.
Speaker 3: But you know it's not full perfect. Be careful.
Speaker 5: Does the ticket data website tell you like approximately, hey
Speaker 5: this is the best time to buy or you should
Speaker 5: wait a little bit more like what I'm getting a
Speaker 5: feeling like that the Hopper rapp for buying plane tickets,
Speaker 5: which kind would kind of help you out and be like, hey,
Speaker 5: this might be the best time to try this ticket.
Speaker 3: Are you offering that right now or is it up
Speaker 3: to the.
Speaker 23: Person also you know, you can see the chart, you know,
Speaker 23: and judge yourself. But also for a lot of events,
Speaker 23: there is a forecast there that you know, it's based
Speaker 23: on years and years of data and seeing what stuff
Speaker 23: doesn't it, and it'll say, you know, the price for
Speaker 23: this event is probably going up, but probably going down
Speaker 23: or somewhere in between. But that's you know, it's not
Speaker 23: it's not put out on all events just because I
Speaker 23: have it tuned so that I'd rather not put out
Speaker 23: a forecast that there's not a lot of confidence in.
Speaker 23: So you know, it's kind of like fifty to fifty
Speaker 23: whether an event has that or.
Speaker 4: Here, here's one of the crazy things. So I'm watching
Speaker 4: this is a some group called nine Vicious. I don't
Speaker 4: really know what that is, sure, nine vicious. And if
Speaker 4: you go back to April of this year, the tickets
Speaker 4: were around fifty six dollars. But the show starts in
Speaker 4: six hours. The show is tonight, so it's like skyrocketed. Yeah,
Speaker 4: up at the last minute. A last minute purchase would
Speaker 4: not have saved you any money there at all.
Speaker 20: Sure, yep, totally not. Yeah, what's what's it at right now?
Speaker 3: It's at two hundred and ninety one dollars.
Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, so you know that's like I said, you know,
Speaker 23: usually Francis go down. But if if it's your favorite
Speaker 23: band and you know you must be there and you
Speaker 23: know you can't, you couldn't message for the world, then
Speaker 23: you know, and those are kind of the cases where
Speaker 23: you know it might be safe to buy a little earlier.
Speaker 3: Here's the pro tip for you folks.
Speaker 4: You can get they have a chrome extension so that
Speaker 4: if you're getting a ticket somewhere, you can see the
Speaker 4: historical costs nice of the tickets for that.
Speaker 3: It's that's it. You can do that over on ticket
Speaker 3: data dot com.
Speaker 5: What were you saying, seele, is there anything else in
Speaker 5: the future for ticket data, because you have I think
Speaker 5: you have like a good uh uh spot here where
Speaker 5: you could get a good prediction market, prediction market going
Speaker 5: and and see whether that ludicrous thing actually happens or not,
Speaker 5: Like if you were the cash of concerts and then
Speaker 5: you just everybody predicts whether or not they happen and
Speaker 5: you make some money here, Bud.
Speaker 23: Absolutely, so it's so speaking of Kushi Calshi actually did
Speaker 23: put up some markets for ticket prices. They did it
Speaker 23: for the NBA finals when you know the knicks we're
Speaker 23: you know, had those crazy prices. And then yeah, for
Speaker 23: some of the later World Cup matches as well, and yeah,
Speaker 23: you know there was a on the word the World
Speaker 23: Cup final, there was a million dollars bet on that market.
Speaker 23: You know, it kind of spooks and they're using ticket
Speaker 23: data as the source to you know, decide you know,
Speaker 23: what the outcome is, right, which which spooks me a
Speaker 23: bit because you know, then you have people coming at
Speaker 23: you had pitchforks because you know the price was seven
Speaker 23: thousand one dollars not you know, seven thousand even or
Speaker 23: something like that.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, you know, the tab who cares it is?
Speaker 20: Isn't that the date is guy?
Speaker 23: And you know, no matter what, no matter what, there's
Speaker 23: going to be some losing.
Speaker 3: If who cares about that?
Speaker 4: If Sni's onto something here, if you all of a
Speaker 4: sudden get people going like, hey, they're betting on that
Speaker 4: on on your website, like will the concert be canceled
Speaker 4: or not? And then all of a sudden, the performers
Speaker 4: are getting worried about that because that would be fantastic.
Speaker 23: And then maybe, yeah, maybe Ludacris is putting one hundred
Speaker 23: grand on the you know on Ye. Yes, some perform
Speaker 23: and says we're performing, you know, even even in front
Speaker 23: of thirty people were doing the show.
Speaker 4: Or they start inside trading because they can cancel the show.
Speaker 6: South Washington can do it, so can everyone else? Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 6: Well have you.
Speaker 5: Heard directly or indirectly about any specific artists using your
Speaker 5: website to check out their own concerts?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 20: I know, I know that, you know, I took it.
Speaker 20: I've spoken to people in the industry.
Speaker 23: Yeah, yes, I do know a lot of them, you know,
Speaker 23: like to like to go on there and you know,
Speaker 23: and I guess good better otherwise.
Speaker 20: But yeah, they definitely do check it and you know,
Speaker 20: see it again. And I think that they also use
Speaker 20: it to be.
Speaker 23: Like, oh, you know, if you're maybe another you know,
Speaker 23: rapper and you're looking at like, what what's going on
Speaker 23: with with Ludacris, it might spook you a bit.
Speaker 20: You might you might think twice about what what.
Speaker 3: What you're going to trash talk each other?
Speaker 4: You know, like on ticket data dot com you got
Speaker 4: way more blue dots than I do my ticket data
Speaker 4: bitch right there you goes ticket Data. Keith, thanks for
Speaker 4: hanging out with us today. Go check out the website
Speaker 4: ticket data dot com. I appreciate the time man.
Speaker 20: Thanks guys, this is great.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Ticket out of Keith.
Speaker 4: It's interesting to see all that that that data and
Speaker 4: the extension for Chrome is really cool. It's kind of
Speaker 4: like on Amazon you get an extension, it tells you
Speaker 4: if it's a good price or a.
Speaker 3: Bad per shows up right, So you look up.
Speaker 4: Any show, any sports game, any anything, and you'll see
Speaker 4: what the prices have been going for and the trends
Speaker 4: on that like a kind of like a stock market
Speaker 4: ticker would show our.
Speaker 3: Quick break a little bit behind. When we come back,
Speaker 3: I'll finally.
Speaker 4: Get in that video of the woman at the store
Speaker 4: who freaks out. We got a bunch of dramaa crack
Speaker 4: open and get into and your feedback, even your rate
Speaker 4: my blank entries yes, believe it or not. Those are
Speaker 4: coming up next on the news junk Kie. We got
Speaker 4: Jerry Duty coming up in the next segment, and then
Speaker 4: the Power Hour for sure.
Speaker 3: After that.
Speaker 4: I did see this clip that was starting to go
Speaker 4: viral getting a lot of attention, and a woman filmed herself.
Speaker 4: It looks kind of like she secretly filmed herself. They
Speaker 4: call her a three hundred and fifty pounds plus size model,
Speaker 4: and they said that she's harassing a Target cashier. I'm
Speaker 4: going to dispute that. I don't think she's harassing her necessarily.
Speaker 4: WHOA I'm not going to dispute the three hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty pound part.
Speaker 5: Who's saying that she's harassing because she filmed herself.
Speaker 3: Is she saying she's a.
Speaker 4: Whoever posted this tweet says three hundred fifty pound plus
Speaker 4: size model records herself harassing a Target cashier over a
Speaker 4: triple XL bikini that was that costs more than a
Speaker 4: large bikini, so she considered it like a fat tax
Speaker 4: kind of thing. She said, I'm getting the fat tax
Speaker 4: removed to Target. So she goes up to herself talking
Speaker 4: to the target person and says, hey, my triple XL
Speaker 4: is more expensive. That doesn't make any sense, And the
Speaker 4: lady removes the charge like she makes it cheaper, She
Speaker 4: makes it the same cost as the other sizes for her,
Speaker 4: and she gets her to do it.
Speaker 3: But I disagree. I think you will too. I don't
Speaker 3: know if she harasses her. I think she just goes
Speaker 3: up and asser listen it here.
Speaker 24: And I was also wondering if you could price match
Speaker 24: these because for some reason in the app it was
Speaker 24: showing that the three x was eight.
Speaker 10: Dollars but the large was six dollars. It just seemed
Speaker 10: like a little weird to me. Those happened is because
Speaker 10: of more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I never agree with that.
Speaker 24: It was just like there was no difference between the
Speaker 24: extra small to the extra large.
Speaker 10: But then there's a difference between Okay.
Speaker 4: So first of all, she's not harassing her, no, not
Speaker 4: at all. She's like just talking with her, and the
Speaker 4: lady doesn't want to be me, and so she was
Speaker 4: kind of like, uh, you know, I think sometimes the
Speaker 4: triple xls are a little more expensive, and and she's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't understand why.
Speaker 3: But then she the the logic that she used was
Speaker 3: the extra small and the small the same price.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but it's not using the extra small is
Speaker 4: using less material, right, Like she's saying, because the extra
Speaker 4: small doesn't cost less than a smaller a medium, why
Speaker 4: should the extra extra large cost more? Because traditionally this
Speaker 4: is how this works. You know this because we've sold
Speaker 4: merch We've sold the ja billion dollars or on this
Speaker 4: show charged.
Speaker 3: Extra for shirts that require more materially. You know why,
Speaker 3: because they cost more, Thank you, Josh, they do. They
Speaker 3: cost more.
Speaker 4: It costs more to buy that the blanks that you
Speaker 4: print them on, or the stuff that they get.
Speaker 3: To tell you, what's me is baby's shoes costing seventy bucks.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: I agree, but but in this case, she's like, I
Speaker 4: don't understand. I don't like it's your You're bigger, you
Speaker 4: wear bigger clothes. The bigger clothes costs more. It's not
Speaker 4: rocket science, I don't think. But I don't think she
Speaker 4: harassed the lady at all. She simply asked her, and
Speaker 4: the lady was too scared to say no. The lady
Speaker 4: was like, oh, I think it's crazy too.
Speaker 5: If there's anything that I took from this video and listen,
Speaker 5: I don't know what targets policies are. Every store is
Speaker 5: different as far as what their cashiers are allowed and
Speaker 5: not allowed to do. But the girl goes, yeah, I
Speaker 5: don't agree with that, so I'm going to change the
Speaker 5: price for you. That is not allowed. I don't have
Speaker 5: plenty of stores. You can't just change the price because
Speaker 5: you don't agree with something. I've not heard of that before.
Speaker 4: But this lady did it, and I think it's because
Speaker 4: she didn't want to be seen as like anti fat
Speaker 4: or whatever, Like she didn't want to feel mean in
Speaker 4: the moment, and she don't want to tell lady, look,
Speaker 4: here's the deal. It's like, it's what they did with
Speaker 4: double seats on planes. It's mean you have to be
Speaker 4: mean or another example I didn give. I've told you before.
Speaker 4: I've seen people get refused on the rides at theme
Speaker 4: parks and they're waiting in line, and they're all excited
Speaker 4: and they get up there and then the person who's
Speaker 4: like a little fat, they tell them like, oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: you're too big for this ride. You can't get on
Speaker 4: this ride, and they have to like walk away in shame.
Speaker 4: Nobody wants to do that. Nobody wants to be mean
Speaker 4: to the person, at least most people don't. So when
Speaker 4: the lady goes up, she's like, this is a fat tag.
Speaker 4: Why would this ever be more? Like every one of
Speaker 4: us understands why it would be more. You're fat, you
Speaker 4: take up more clothes room. The clothes have to be bigger.
Speaker 4: If the clothes were the same exact size and they
Speaker 4: charge you more, I'd be with you I'd call that
Speaker 4: a fat tax. The rest of it is just you
Speaker 4: paying more because you're fat, not being tax, but just
Speaker 4: paying more because you're buying more.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not a fat tax. If you pay
Speaker 3: more for an extra large pizza versus a large piez
Speaker 3: just going to bring food in this It is just
Speaker 3: going to do that.
Speaker 6: Damn a fat I'm having to pay more because I'm hungrier.
Speaker 3: No fair, Yes it is.
Speaker 6: Actually yeah, I burn more calories. It's not my fault.
Speaker 5: I do think that's okay. But it would be a
Speaker 5: fat tax if they charged her more at the buffet,
Speaker 5: Yes it would, Yes, that would be a fat tax.
Speaker 5: So if your your comparison is if it's the same
Speaker 5: amount of material, like if she bought an extra large
Speaker 5: and they charged her more because she's fat at the
Speaker 5: fat tax, if you were going to an all you
Speaker 5: can eat buffet where everybody of a certain age pays
Speaker 5: the same amount, and they said no, no, no, no, I'd.
Speaker 3: Fight with her.
Speaker 4: I'd say I'd with a sign a pick a time
Speaker 4: to be like, you know, this is a fat tax.
Speaker 3: We won't take that. This is a fat tax, we
Speaker 3: won't take that. I would be out there with this slate,
Speaker 3: we're gonna workshop that champ.
Speaker 4: But I thought it was pretty good for winging it,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, like my impromptu, my impromptu
Speaker 4: protests statement. But this lady, I think is wrong on
Speaker 4: this front. She's she's right if it was what SELI
Speaker 4: was saying. If you try to go into something and
Speaker 4: everybody's doing the same thing, but it costs more, and
Speaker 4: the buffet costs more or whatever, but you're getting the
Speaker 4: same thing, that that's one thing. But if you are
Speaker 4: like literally, your shirts are bigger, your clothes are bigger,
Speaker 4: your pants are bigger, your shoes are bigger, they cost
Speaker 4: more money. At some point there's a breakof So when
Speaker 4: we sell merch small, medium, large, Excel all costs the
Speaker 4: same because that's how you pay the same for them.
Speaker 4: When you're buying them in bulk, you pay about the
Speaker 4: same for all of those those shirt sizes.
Speaker 3: When you go to double XL or triple XL, they
Speaker 3: have to have new machinery.
Speaker 4: Sometimes they have to have a new piece of software
Speaker 4: to cut it in that size. They have to use
Speaker 4: something totally different to get to the end product.
Speaker 3: Four point. Yeah, this lady was was nice.
Speaker 24: I just wondering if you could price match these, because
Speaker 24: for some reason in the app it was showing that
Speaker 24: the three X was with the large six dollars.
Speaker 10: It just seem like a.
Speaker 20: Little weird to me.
Speaker 4: By the way, they're both just cheap. Why don't you
Speaker 4: just get just still a good deal. Yeah, she says
Speaker 4: more material. It sounds really stupid and ridiculous. No, it
Speaker 4: just makes sense.
Speaker 3: It does. Just be nice. She just just being nice.
Speaker 3: She's being nice.
Speaker 4: But if we all make the target people feel bad
Speaker 4: about us having to pay more. I guess they'll kick
Speaker 4: you a deal on that one. Let us know what
Speaker 4: you think quick break. When we come back Jury Duties
Speaker 4: on the way. I got a bunch of up. It's
Speaker 4: on stories we've been following. We've got to talk about.
Speaker 4: They just arrested this guy who was lighting the fires
Speaker 4: in uh Washington, one of the biggest wildfires, completely decimating areas,
Speaker 4: and there was a dude who lit the fire and
Speaker 4: they've arrested him. We'll see what we can learn about
Speaker 4: that guy. It's coming up next in the news Junkie.
Speaker 4: We need to get into this. I've got another story
Speaker 4: that we need to discuss. But to do any of it,
Speaker 4: we got to get into jury duty.
Speaker 3: So let's do that.
Speaker 1: Or it is now in session, so put your phone
Speaker 1: down and pay attention before we call the bailiff over
Speaker 1: to win your ass. You're knowing jury duty with the
Speaker 1: news junkie.
Speaker 3: The story is wild man.
Speaker 4: I'll get into this in just a moment here, But
Speaker 4: Jerry duty brought to you by the one the only
Speaker 4: moduit of the DeWit Law Firm. Injured on the guy, Well,
Speaker 4: just call MO. Eight hundred Call MO is the number
Speaker 4: for an attorney. Eight hundred CALLMO after an accident. You
Speaker 4: deserve somebody who's going to represent you, get you on
Speaker 4: the path to that big giant check that is for you,
Speaker 4: your family and your future. You can get involved and
Speaker 4: get connected with the DeWit Law Firm at justcllmo dot
Speaker 4: com or eight hundred call MO. Pretty crazy story, but
Speaker 4: true nonetheless. And East Charlotte shooting suspect killed a man
Speaker 4: just an hour after bonding out of jail. All right,
Speaker 4: this guy was in prison, and when he was in prison,
Speaker 4: he was released and within an hour of bonding out,
Speaker 4: he killed a man. He's charged with murder in the
Speaker 4: shooting death. He says, a man, this is a WCNC
Speaker 4: In Charlotte, North Carolina, a man accused of killing one
Speaker 4: person and injuring another in East Charlotte apartment complex shooting
Speaker 4: appeared before a judge Friday after initially a refuse going
Speaker 4: to leave his jail cell. David Simpson, twenty nine, is
Speaker 4: facing charges for the shooting. He's charged with first degree murder,
Speaker 4: attempted first degree murder, assault with the deadly weapon, and
Speaker 4: possession of firearms by a felon. A woman identified as
Speaker 4: his girlfriend was also charged with an accessory after the
Speaker 4: fact charge. So the guy bonded out of jail at
Speaker 4: one at twelve twenty am. All right, twelve twenty am.
Speaker 4: He was released from the local jail in North Carolina
Speaker 4: by one forty five am. He was involved in a
Speaker 4: fatal shooting where he killed somebody outside this housing complex.
Speaker 4: And that's how fast this all occurred. There's surveillance footage
Speaker 4: of all of it, but it says curt court records
Speaker 4: excuse me show. Simpson posted bond Tuesday afternoon after being
Speaker 4: arrested for failing to appear in courner on a separate
Speaker 4: case involving a twenty twenty four charge of possession of
Speaker 4: a weapon by a prisoner. He was released from jail
Speaker 4: een hours later the shooting happened. So out he goes,
Speaker 4: back he comes, and then somebody dies in the meantime.
Speaker 5: So this gun, he was a shooting suspect already, yep. Yeah,
Speaker 5: And so he bonded out.
Speaker 3: Ye be that in with a gun.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, what does that mean he got
Speaker 5: another gun? Yeah, because they would have confiscated the gun
Speaker 5: in the first arrest.
Speaker 4: You would assume here's the killer thing ceiling you ready
Speaker 4: for this. Core records show he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter.
Speaker 4: So another murder in August of twenty fifteen. He was
Speaker 4: charged with first remurder in that case, but they knocked
Speaker 4: down the charges to a voluntary manslaughter charge. In August
Speaker 4: of twenty fifteen, he was sentenced to seventy three to
Speaker 4: one hundred months in prison and was released on parole
Speaker 4: in October twenty twenty. After that, he got caught up
Speaker 4: as having a gun and getting involved in another violent crime.
Speaker 4: And then he was released at just after midnight and
Speaker 4: within ninety minutes had killed somebody else. Maybe we could
Speaker 4: keep him behind bars this time. Maybe we could keep
Speaker 4: them behind bars and keep them walked away so he
Speaker 4: doesn't do this again, because trust me, he will. That
Speaker 4: will happen once more. Let's see what else we have here,
Speaker 4: just a short one in Jerry Duty, Oh, the in
Speaker 4: and out Burger. This is the guy who was one
Speaker 4: of the good guys with the gun who shot at
Speaker 4: the person who was attacking this in and out location
Speaker 4: in Twin Falls, Idaho. Here's the hero civilian as they're
Speaker 4: calling him, talking to ABC.
Speaker 3: And thirty five year old Jordan Salinas fired back.
Speaker 25: I peeked around the right hand side of that sign,
Speaker 25: closest to the road, and that's where I saw the
Speaker 25: individual with his rifle pointed at the vehicles.
Speaker 5: Of those heraldic actions drove the shooter from the scene
Speaker 5: and likely saved lines.
Speaker 25: He seemed unusually comfortable aiming that rifle at those cars,
Speaker 25: and then as soon as some rounds start coming at him,
Speaker 25: everything changed immediately. All that, you know, all that bravado
Speaker 25: he had immediately crumble.
Speaker 3: And so they show him outside. Josh is right. This
Speaker 3: guy's gun.
Speaker 4: I don't know what kind of gun this is, but
Speaker 4: it looks got to be a revolver of some sort.
Speaker 4: It looks at a long barrel. Yeah, he's got a
Speaker 4: long barrel on it. And then he fires off some
Speaker 4: shots of this guy, and then I guess the guy
Speaker 4: started firing back at him, and so he jumped into
Speaker 4: the bushes, which is that's not the most heroic part
Speaker 4: of his own experience.
Speaker 6: But you don't want to get hit.
Speaker 3: I don't either. Yeah, I mean, I guess there was.
Speaker 8: Right here.
Speaker 3: So he's shooting, he's shooting. Ready, he's shooting, and then.
Speaker 4: There are a couple of shots come back, and he
Speaker 4: jumps in the bushes, and so I mean, I probably
Speaker 4: would have done I probably wouldn't even have been brave
Speaker 4: enough to shoot back at the guy, but that's what
Speaker 4: he ended up doing. Jordan Selenis the hero, one of
Speaker 4: the people intervening, and there was another off duty officer.
Speaker 3: I think two good guys with a gun at that
Speaker 3: one in and out.
Speaker 5: I think Jordan Selenis was the one that And this
Speaker 5: might be in the same interview somewhere he said that
Speaker 5: he cited to go get a gun lessons like shooting
Speaker 5: training after a previous mass shooting. Right, yeah, like he is,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do something if this happens around me. I
Speaker 5: don't know if he was like at the mass shooting
Speaker 5: or it was something he saw on TV and he
Speaker 5: was like basically made a decision like I don't want
Speaker 5: him have to be in this situation to be powerless.
Speaker 5: So he got firearm training and now he's the good
Speaker 5: guy with a gun. Unbelievable and very quickly.
Speaker 4: In Spokane, Washington, a man has been arrested believed to
Speaker 4: have been the person who ignited on purpose one of
Speaker 4: three wildfires, the largest of the three in Spokane, Washington.
Speaker 4: For those of you on YouTube dot com slash the
Speaker 4: news junkie, this is what the wildfires did to one
Speaker 4: neighborhood in Washington.
Speaker 3: Gone.
Speaker 4: I mean gone looks worse than a tornado looks. I've
Speaker 4: never seen anything quite like this in my entire life.
Speaker 4: But this guy has been arrested for purposely lighting this fire.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I've never seen this in an area
Speaker 5: where there's a lot of basement, so all the houses
Speaker 5: are just these great big holes holes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just holes underneath the homes because they all
Speaker 4: completely burned up in this neighborhood. And Aaron Fharnnietzsche Farinacci
Speaker 4: thirty seven was taken into custody being held on a
Speaker 4: million dollars bond.
Speaker 3: He'll be out within an hour to do it all
Speaker 3: over again, I guess.
Speaker 4: But he lit this on purpose and somebody saw him
Speaker 4: looking nervous at the scene. Now they have him in custody.
Speaker 4: A right quick break back with the Power Hour. Don't
Speaker 4: miss a lot of great clips for you to kick
Speaker 4: things off. That's coming up next in the news. Junk Key,
Speaker 4: why are you making that face?
Speaker 3: Celent? What is that about? What is that? I?

Speaker 4: saying cool, I mean cool the word cool.
Speaker 3: Oh that's good, Okay, cool?
Speaker 4: Alright, good? Yeah, Thatt you work out then, but it's
Speaker 4: it doesn't make me look bad. You're not trying to
Speaker 4: make me look like a fool. You keep saying that part.
Speaker 13: You know what.
Speaker 4: Let's just do it so we can figure out what's
Speaker 4: happening here and then get past this because I've got
Speaker 4: a couple of clips to get into.
Speaker 3: So let's do the Power Hour. They said it couldn't
Speaker 3: keep done. Then they said, he's like Hitler, only cooler.
Speaker 3: It's time for.
Speaker 1: Them Power Hour on the news chunky.
Speaker 4: See it's not necessarily bad what I said there? What
Speaker 4: I because he's like Hitler but he's cooler, implies that
Speaker 4: Hitler is not that cool, but this other person is.
Speaker 3: And you're like, you know, I I think it's a
Speaker 3: little explaining going on. I mean, losing, but possibly maybe
Speaker 3: I don't know, he's going to beat your ass. No,
Speaker 3: he's not. There's no way, there's no shot that he
Speaker 3: could do that.
Speaker 4: I have. Somebody's very upset and they've posted a video
Speaker 4: online because of course that's what they do. Taxpayers paid
Speaker 4: for a new library in Seattle, Washington, to the tune
Speaker 4: of over one hundred and sixty million dollars woo. And
Speaker 4: then this woman decided to go see how things were
Speaker 4: going at this new one hundred and sixty million dollar
Speaker 4: plus library, and she says it's disgusting, full of hobo
Speaker 4: and she doesn't like it one bit.
Speaker 3: But let's see if she's right, if she got a
Speaker 3: point whatever. Here's the video that she made. Let's go
Speaker 3: check out the state of the art computer base on
Speaker 3: the fifth.
Speaker 26: For Peters All right now again to highlight my point
Speaker 26: about how unfamily friendly this public library is. When I
Speaker 26: first got off the elevator, this homeless dude started staring
Speaker 26: at me and making sexual gestures.
Speaker 10: I immediately made it p.
Speaker 4: I didn't think I was gonna side with this girl
Speaker 4: all I didn't even see it.
Speaker 3: I didn't either. I did not think I was going
Speaker 3: to side with her. Just so you guys know what's
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 4: When she goes in to see the state of the
Speaker 4: art computer library, there's some guy in a hoodie, and
Speaker 4: she says, this homeless guy started staring at me, and
Speaker 4: I thought maybe he was just gonna look back, but
Speaker 4: he's flipping his tongue around like in the most exaggerated
Speaker 4: way I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 5: She's narrating this video and there's music in the background,
Speaker 5: so I don't know that you can hear much of
Speaker 5: what's happening in the library.
Speaker 3: But do you think he's making the notes? I don't know,
Speaker 3: but that was weird.
Speaker 26: I first got off the elevator, this homeless dude started
Speaker 26: staring at me and making sexual gestures. I immediately made
Speaker 26: it pay that I was disgusted and started recording him
Speaker 26: in hopes that it would deter him, but nope, he
Speaker 26: kept going anyway.
Speaker 10: I wish we're gonna do.
Speaker 4: He's all, bliss, what we're gonna do? You're gonna take
Speaker 4: take something else away from him. He is just hanging
Speaker 4: out in this place. I don't know if you think
Speaker 4: that's going to be successful at some point in time,
Speaker 4: but it's weird. So all right, you got the weird
Speaker 4: hobo with the tongue flicking thing, which is derogatory or
Speaker 4: I don't know if I should say that. It's definitely
Speaker 4: like harassment of a sexual variety.
Speaker 26: After you toward the computer base after he left, and
Speaker 26: it was weight dirtier than I was expecting it to be. Now,
Speaker 26: the majority of people sitting here are homeless, and not
Speaker 26: only are they.
Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on, did she say she went back
Speaker 4: to the same computer desk that that guy occupied in
Speaker 4: this dirtier than she expected it?
Speaker 3: She just went to the computer base in general. Oh,
Speaker 3: but she was waiting for that guy to.
Speaker 4: Leave, Okay, because I was like, when when the guy
Speaker 4: who flicked his tongue at you like a total creeper left,
Speaker 4: you were surprised that his work area was dirty.
Speaker 3: I could have told you that, Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 3: could have told you that for sure.
Speaker 26: No peak up going anyway. I went back to you
Speaker 26: toward the computer base after he left, and it was
Speaker 26: weight dirtier than I was expecting it to be. Now,
Speaker 26: the majority of people sitting here are homeless, and not
Speaker 26: only are they bringing in all of belongings, but also
Speaker 26: they often leave a huge mess on the floor, and
Speaker 26: as you can see, there are crumbs everywhere, large black stains.
Speaker 26: That's one thing that did jump out to me about
Speaker 26: this library. A large majority of the fabric chairs are
Speaker 26: straight up stained in black, and they're just a lot
Speaker 26: dirtier than you would.
Speaker 3: Expect by the chair. Okay, it does have wear on it.
Speaker 4: If this is brand new and cost one hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty million dollars, it does have wear on it, and
Speaker 4: it looks a little bit gross. But I'm used to
Speaker 4: crappy libraries. When I grew up, we had libraries that
Speaker 4: were garbage. So I would have been like, this is
Speaker 4: a fancy chair for our library. Here have a chair,
Speaker 4: But this is this is a little dirtier than you
Speaker 4: would want the furniture and a.
Speaker 26: One hundred and twenty five million dollar library to be
Speaker 26: this libry.
Speaker 3: Okay, we could stop before this guy.
Speaker 4: It looks through the libraryes one hundred and sixty five
Speaker 4: point nine million dollars. It was funded through the libraries
Speaker 4: for all bond Measure one hundred and ninety six million dollars.
Speaker 4: Voter approved bond issue. Okay, so what has happened? And
Speaker 4: this is legit an issue. Some of you who have
Speaker 4: kids and stuff have probably seen this and they got
Speaker 4: to work on this for realsies. I don't know how
Speaker 4: bad the marks on the chairs were or you know,
Speaker 4: like I do, know that homeless people, when you let
Speaker 4: them into your spaces, are filthy.
Speaker 3: They are, They tend to be. I'm speaking in generalities.
Speaker 3: Not all of them are, but you know a lot
Speaker 3: of them are.
Speaker 4: If you look at homeless encampments, they will be among
Speaker 4: the filthiest places you can see. Even if there's a
Speaker 4: big giant trash can nearby. Thinky, it's just the way
Speaker 4: that it goes. It turns out, along with their bad
Speaker 4: life decisions that led them there was a bad life
Speaker 4: decision to just throw trash everywhere they want to go.
Speaker 4: But when you allow homeless people to occupy for long
Speaker 4: periods of time in the downtown libraries, it's going to
Speaker 4: turn everybody else off. Number one, and number two, it's
Speaker 4: going to make the whole place a hell of a
Speaker 4: lot worse, especially for kids. Vicky says, they don't allow
Speaker 4: that at the Downtown library in Orlando.
Speaker 3: Is that true?
Speaker 4: Will they chase them out? Like if they have a
Speaker 4: homeless doesn't come in there, will they chase them out?
Speaker 4: Because most libraries let them in. It might be some
Speaker 4: kind of rule against just kind of.
Speaker 3: Loitering.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe you've got like a limited amount of time,
Speaker 4: or libraries weren't for homeless people When I was little.
Speaker 4: You would go to the library to get a book
Speaker 4: that you were going to read, or you would do
Speaker 4: a lot.
Speaker 3: Of research in the library.
Speaker 5: Or I wonder if they have some sort of I
Speaker 5: wouldn't call it a loophole, but maybe they have some
Speaker 5: sort of safeguard for themselves where to obtain a library card,
Speaker 5: you have to have some things that homeless people wouldn't have,
Speaker 5: like an addresser.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're talking about doing this at the place in
Speaker 4: New York that they opened up is like a state
Speaker 4: run or city run grocery store, and you've got to
Speaker 4: have some sort of ID and then they'll work them out.
Speaker 4: Dan says, oh God, when you make it illegal for
Speaker 4: homeless people to be and exist anywhere except libraries.
Speaker 3: Guess what. The criminalization of homelessness is a serious problem.
Speaker 3: Not enough now.
Speaker 4: If we just criminalize them from being at the libraries,
Speaker 4: then we'll sweep up the problem. I think that will
Speaker 4: round things out there. And if you make it so
Speaker 4: we have programs in place that push these people into
Speaker 4: actually getting back into integrating in society, I think you
Speaker 4: might maybe solve the problem a little bit more than
Speaker 4: just letting them camp out wherever you want. But somebody
Speaker 4: says there are homeless people all over the library downtown.
Speaker 4: I says that's TPFB says that I don't want to
Speaker 4: say the whole name. TPFB says that I think this
Speaker 4: is the case for most libraries in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4: They become a place where these folks get air conditioning
Speaker 4: and crash.
Speaker 3: And I don't blame them, you know, I don't blame them.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think what it is as a result
Speaker 4: of all the policies that we've had in place for
Speaker 4: the last thirty forty fifty years that have made homelessness
Speaker 4: from bad to mega worse. They've made think about when
Speaker 4: you were a kid, how many home most people there were.
Speaker 4: It's not because we're more poor. It's not because things
Speaker 4: are more expensive. There are more homeless people than when
Speaker 4: you were a child. When you were a little kid,
Speaker 4: there are more homeless people now that you see all
Speaker 4: over the place because the policies to handle homeless people
Speaker 4: are broken. They're fundamentally broken. And the entire industry, which
Speaker 4: is a multi billion dollar industry that makes a lot
Speaker 4: of these people wealthy to keep the hobos on the dime.
Speaker 4: That entire industry has blown up, and it's populated by
Speaker 4: people who all have the same ideas that fail over
Speaker 4: and over and over and over and over again. This
Speaker 4: happens in every single city where they tackle this stuff.
Speaker 4: And if it happens in the libraries, then they go, Okay,
Speaker 4: we've got to move them from the library to somewhere else.
Speaker 4: It's not until you actually address the issues and push
Speaker 4: people to integrate into society that you can fix with
Speaker 4: a capital f these problems in the long run. In
Speaker 4: my opinion, I've been on that front for a very
Speaker 4: long time. I will continue to be on that front.
Speaker 4: I'm probably radicalized on that much more than most people
Speaker 4: are because I've just seen it in my life. I've
Speaker 4: seen it with my family members. I've seen it with
Speaker 4: people who I care about, and I've seen why all
Speaker 4: of that happens, and I've seen the ways that you
Speaker 4: actually can pull people out of that spiral. And it's
Speaker 4: not to let them wander in the library all day,
Speaker 4: or let them openly do drugs in your city, or
Speaker 4: let them sleep wherever they want. It's when you push
Speaker 4: them to integrate with the rest of society. That's just
Speaker 4: how I see it. You could disagree. Tips at the

Speaker 4: On the hero guy with a gun, Jerky Boy says
Speaker 4: his gun was a nine to millimeter with a silencer.
Speaker 3: That's why it seems so can anybody just get a silencer?
Speaker 3: I thought that was like for spies.
Speaker 6: I feel like that depends on what state you live in.
Speaker 5: Sometimes sometimes they're not legal. It's like a suppressor. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: like a yeah.
Speaker 4: And from what I knew, and I've seen videos to
Speaker 4: back this up, whenever you see a silencer, people have
Speaker 4: a very Hollywood idea of how they work, like the
Speaker 4: gun's gonna get boom, and it doesn't do that. It's
Speaker 4: just a little less loud. Yeah, it's so very loud.
Speaker 4: It's like it's when you when you shoot a regular gun.
Speaker 4: Sometimes people will go, I don't know, it could have
Speaker 4: been a gun, could have been fireworks, And I was like,
Speaker 4: probably wasn't a gun.
Speaker 3: Where was the in and out? Idaho? Idaho? Yes, I
Speaker 3: hope or something falls Idaho.
Speaker 5: Suppressors are illegal in eight states, and Idaho is not
Speaker 5: one of them. Okay, God, who got that guy was
Speaker 5: going to get rounded up? Anybody can get a silencer
Speaker 5: in Florida. You just have pay two hundred dollars plus
Speaker 5: the cost of the silencer. Though there's a tax that
Speaker 5: they put on it, interesting murder tax. I don't mind
Speaker 5: the silencer tax. It does seem like you're up to something. Though,
Speaker 5: suppressors are legal in twenty one states if they comply
Speaker 5: with ATF regulations. Nineteen states have no standalone statutes regarding possession,
Speaker 5: but federal loss to.
Speaker 4: The plot a what's up junkie says this person at
Speaker 4: tips at the news Junkie dot com. The lady who
Speaker 4: was buying the triple x large thing that was more
Speaker 4: expensive and calling it a fat tax says she never
Speaker 4: bought sheets before. I don't know if she knows it,
Speaker 4: but a twin sheet costs way less than a king
Speaker 4: size sheet, and you know I there's more material getting used.
Speaker 3: Keep up the work.
Speaker 4: Wiggle wiggle, pop pop, thank you emailer, A bunch of
Speaker 4: other people emailing. I think it to all of these
Speaker 4: right now. I'll do my best to read these throughout
Speaker 4: the show and work more of them in right now though,
Speaker 4: I promise it.
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

Speaker 4: Here goes the cocktail Dawn with an entrigue.
Speaker 3: What is the difference between a hippo and a zippo?
Speaker 3: A hippo is really heavy and a zippo is a
Speaker 3: little lighter.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, cut the straight face. So it's not
Speaker 4: getting a bookmark for that. Here is Did we do

Speaker 4: She said, my butt hurts around the entrance he said, well,
Speaker 4: let's call it an exit, and he's going to continue
Speaker 4: to hurt if you use it as an entrance.
Speaker 6: Okay, here's the thing that women don't go to the proctologists.
Speaker 3: That's true. They don't have a pro they don't have
Speaker 3: a prosta. That part is certainly true.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Wait, is that the only reason you go to a
Speaker 5: proctologist is proprostrated dams?
Speaker 6: Pretty sure?
Speaker 3: I believe them.
Speaker 4: I believest Yeah, time is coming. Here's the real ken
Speaker 4: with another joke. Maybe this one's good.
Speaker 3: Why all baby strawberries always crying because their parents are
Speaker 3: always in the gym? Huh?
Speaker 6: I was wrong about proctologists, by the way, before where
Speaker 6: all the messages come in?
Speaker 3: They do more than that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they do all of the lower intestinal stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so anybody could go to that. Here's two

Speaker 27: So back in the nineties and early thousands, when scientists
Speaker 27: were messing with genetics and trying to clone and all
Speaker 27: that crap, my dad told me about an experiment where
Speaker 27: they tried to splacee a crab's DNA with a cheetah DNA.
Speaker 27: Oh boy, went sideways real fast put drizzle.
Speaker 4: I like it science all right, you guys, you guys
Speaker 4: are hearing these this is what this is what we've
Speaker 4: been delivered so far. So some of these are going
Speaker 4: to be good. Most of them are not. But these
Speaker 4: people have to move on to the finals and we
Speaker 4: have to crown a winner at some point this week.
Speaker 4: That somebody texted in one yesterday that I thought was
Speaker 4: pretty fun. It was, uh, what do you get when
Speaker 4: you introduce human DNA with goat dna? I don't know
Speaker 4: what kicked out.
Speaker 3: Of the zoo. You should have set that one in.
Speaker 3: That doesn't count though.
Speaker 6: That's more like an almost an anti joke than a

Speaker 4: over on the Newsjunkie dot com all right, I have
Speaker 4: some questions about this story.
Speaker 3: I'm going to bring this up here. I did not
Speaker 3: know this was a thing.
Speaker 4: But there is a guy who is trying to go
Speaker 4: to Cabbella's, which I believe is kind of like a
Speaker 4: bass Pro shot.
Speaker 6: That's correct.
Speaker 3: I think it's the same company. Actually, oh, is it right?
Speaker 4: You're right?
Speaker 5: Like you know how like a Panera bread has an
Speaker 5: Atlanta bread company or actually this will make more sense
Speaker 5: checkers and rallies parties than Carl's Junior.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so it's it's like different in different places,
Speaker 4: but it's still hunting stuff, fishing stuff, outdoorsman stuff.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: So this guy wants to go to Cabella's picture bass
Speaker 4: Pro shops if that's your local place, and he's driving
Speaker 4: by with somebody else or somehow he sees that the
Speaker 4: traffic sucks. So this guy says, ah, wait in the traffic.
Speaker 4: There's so much traffic on the way to Cabella's, gonna
Speaker 4: take me forever to get there. So he gets in
Speaker 4: his helicopter and he flies to the Cabellas, right, And
Speaker 4: I think they even have like bodycam footage holdaus of
Speaker 4: the cop walking up to the pilot.
Speaker 3: Who's in this helicopter has a pre roll. I'm stopping them.
Speaker 3: He's booting that out of the way.
Speaker 4: The cop goes up to the helicopter ask the guy
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of questions, Hey, did you really do this?
Speaker 4: Here he goes there's a chopper in an empty parking lot.
Speaker 4: Flew his own helicopter to thee to beat the lines.
Speaker 4: So the cop goes up there, right, and when I
Speaker 4: see this story, I go, Okay, I get it, and
Speaker 4: he's gonna get in trouble, says A man flew his
Speaker 4: helicopter from Rosendale to the Cabella's parking lot in Richfield
Speaker 4: on Saturday this weekend. He decided the drive was too
Speaker 4: long and he wanted to fly to the store instead.
Speaker 4: The Washington County Sheriff's office got a call about that,
Speaker 4: and a deputy responded.
Speaker 3: They met up with a pilot of the helicopter, a.
Speaker 4: Sixty nine year old man, who said he flew to
Speaker 4: Cabella's because the drive was too long.
Speaker 3: Good on this guy for just having a helicopter at sixty.
Speaker 4: Nine and I'm gonna go by, yeah, yeah, I'm going
Speaker 4: to Cabella's and I'm gonna fly out of here he
Speaker 4: said the drive was too long. Here's the kicker. The
Speaker 4: story from Fox six says he was properly licensed, landed safely,
Speaker 4: complied with all applicable FAA regulations, sure, and took the
Speaker 4: time to answer answer the deputies question in regarding helicopter
Speaker 4: landing requirements. The Sheriff's office added there were no violations
Speaker 4: or arrests. It was just a unique way to make
Speaker 4: a shopping trip to avoid all the roundabouts in front
Speaker 4: of the Capella store.
Speaker 3: He didn't even get in trouble. I don't think he
Speaker 3: did anything wrong. So you could just fly to places
Speaker 3: like this. He's just in a parking lot where he's
Speaker 3: landed his helicopter. I mean, as long as he's.
Speaker 5: Followed the rules of the FAA as far as air safety,
Speaker 5: and you don't have any local rules or anything about
Speaker 5: landing your helicopter in a parking lot. I mean people
Speaker 5: used to land helicopters all the time. This is a
Speaker 5: big golf thing, right, You have a big golf tournament.
Speaker 5: I think some of the music festivals do it too,
Speaker 5: for some of the bigger acts. You know, you have
Speaker 5: a big golf tournament and so you fly into like
Speaker 5: an Executive Airport, and then you get on a helicopter
Speaker 5: and they take you to a field close ISHU to
Speaker 5: the golf tournament because you're rich and you're doing rich
Speaker 5: guy stuff, and then somebody picks you up at that field.
Speaker 5: They used to do it at the YMCA by my
Speaker 5: house all the time because it was right by Bayhill,
Speaker 5: so people would fly in for Bayhill. They would land
Speaker 5: helicopters on the soccer field and everything was cool.
Speaker 3: You can't just land a helicopter on his soccer field.
Speaker 3: They clear it up with the YMCA. First.
Speaker 4: All right, let's say Josh is building his house. Unless
Speaker 4: it's an emergency, I mean, then you can really do it.
Speaker 4: Josh is building a new house. He's already got a house,
Speaker 4: but he wants to move away from Palletteman, so he's
Speaker 4: building a new house. And he builds this big, giant house.
Speaker 3: And Josh goes, my house is going to be three
Speaker 3: stories tall, and on the top floor, I'm gonna make
Speaker 3: it flat so I can build a helipad. And then
Speaker 3: I'm going to fly my helicopter around town wherever I
Speaker 3: want and land at places where I'm allowed to.
Speaker 4: And then I would fly back and I'll land on
Speaker 4: my helipad at my house. Are you allowed to do that?
Speaker 3: I think the thing holding you back would be if
Speaker 3: your nameborhood had some sort of hoa that would be like, no,
Speaker 3: you can't build a helipad on your property. I thought
Speaker 3: that was everywhere. I thought, no, the same way you
Speaker 3: can't just build a runway on your property. I think
Speaker 3: you can't.
Speaker 5: Well, dude, I mean remember that video we had the
Speaker 5: guy in Alaska that went to like the not a
Speaker 5: corner store. I think he went to some like store
Speaker 5: like restaurant. I mean, the way I'm describing it out loud,
Speaker 5: it sounds like I'm talking about cracker barrel, but it
Speaker 5: wasn't a cracker barrel. But this is like rural Alaska
Speaker 5: where kids get their pilot's license before they get their
Speaker 5: driver's license because there's nowhere to drive. There the way
Speaker 5: to get around his airplanes. And there was a guy
Speaker 5: that just left this this diner and hopped in his
Speaker 5: small plane and turned onto the road that the diner
Speaker 5: was on, and he had enough space to take off
Speaker 5: and he pieced out this cool. That's very cool, But
Speaker 5: you shouldn't be allowed to do that like they've been
Speaker 5: talking a whole bunch about Orlando International Airport and how
Speaker 5: they're building this vertical takeoff section of the airport that's
Speaker 5: supposed to be ready by like twenty thirty maybe twenty
Speaker 5: thirty five or something, because they're going to start. You know,
Speaker 5: there are these companies that have these basically gigantic drones
Speaker 5: that you ride inside that'll do flights to Tampa. Right
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago, it was all over the news.
Speaker 5: They were talking about at a bunch, and in my head,
Speaker 5: I was like, why do you have to have unless
Speaker 5: it's just as a meeting place, as the pilot to put,
Speaker 5: you know, to take these things back and forth. Why
Speaker 5: do you even have to have the vertical takeoff airport
Speaker 5: when you're just the vehicle that in question is pretty
Speaker 5: small that I just.
Speaker 4: I assumed there were rules on everything flying above us.
Speaker 4: I didn't assume that you could do this. I think
Speaker 4: this is what the person was talking about. Is this
Speaker 4: the chopper, Dude, find a McDonald's.
Speaker 3: I wasn't think of McDonald's, but.
Speaker 4: Somebody a chat so that I try as chopper. You
Speaker 4: can't just land at a McDonald's. Yeah you can't. We
Speaker 4: will maybe it's what he's doing, pull it up to
Speaker 4: a McDonald's. I thought there were way more rules than this.
Speaker 4: So if it's like if I fits, I sits, I
Speaker 4: know what's that from. I don't know the internet, So
Speaker 4: he could fly so weird. So here's the McDonald's drive
Speaker 4: throw over here. He flies into the middle of the field.
Speaker 5: But this isn't his field, this is not right, so
Speaker 5: that that part is up for debate whether or not
Speaker 5: he can land on somebody's field when he doesn't have
Speaker 5: permission to. But landing in a parking lot, I mean again,
Speaker 5: it would be up to the retailer to tell the guy, Hey, listen,
Speaker 5: we don't want your landing helicopters in our parking lots anymore.
Speaker 3: You know that's that's crazy.
Speaker 4: Somebody said they're selling single personal drums on Tamil, like
Speaker 4: you can buy them yourself.
Speaker 6: This sounds like a catastic I've already trusted that.
Speaker 5: I've already seen a YouTube video where somebody puts together
Speaker 5: this TMU drone that you can actually you can not
Speaker 5: only ride in it and fly it like a first person,
Speaker 5: but it's also remote controlled like a traditional drone. And
Speaker 5: these two guys not only put it together. But they
Speaker 5: went out in the field and tested it out, and
Speaker 5: they were they were a little scared of it.
Speaker 3: But also fascinated by it.
Speaker 5: And so at first the guy just went up in
Speaker 5: the air and then went back down and was like, wow,
Speaker 5: that was crazy. I just flew myself inside of a drone.
Speaker 5: That's insane. And then then they went on from there.
Speaker 17: It was.
Speaker 4: It was actually a pretty fascinating video. All right, well,
Speaker 4: there you go. I did not know you could do that.
Speaker 4: But this guy flew to Cabella's because it saved him
Speaker 4: time and just went in, got his stuff and and
Speaker 4: on out. When we come back, final dispatches, stories that
Speaker 4: didn't make the cut, and of course todaylor to wrap
Speaker 4: everything up for a Tuesday that is coming up next
Speaker 4: on the News Junkie. Not a lot of time, but
Speaker 4: I'm gonna try to squeeze in some dispatches and brace yourself.
