Speaker 1: I did? What you do? We last week? We took
Speaker 1: the kid to the science center on Saturday, which is right?
Speaker 1: Did he question all the science and the science center again?
Speaker 1: Because you mean like last time when he told some
Speaker 1: told some other kids the dinosaurs weren't real. Yeah, Seiland's
Speaker 1: son goes around the science center and informs the other
Speaker 1: kids that all this is fake news, very very much.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 1: Really? You think those big dinosaurs walked around. He did
Speaker 1: hug a kid that we didn't even know, and that
Speaker 1: was it was both sweet and also a little weird.
Speaker 1: It's alarming. Okay, you know he's a sweet guy and
Speaker 1: he is, yeah, big heart. We did that, and then
Speaker 1: it mostly was just like hanging around the house, getting
Speaker 1: in the pool, lounging around. I do like I did
Speaker 1: make a move last night where I was like, at
Speaker 1: some point I need to read the writing on the
Speaker 1: wall and then and cut the festivities off because every
Speaker 1: once in a while I have a really like rough Monday.
Speaker 1: Oh I've seen it. This is a pretty good one.
Speaker 1: Oh really, this is how it can be. All you
Speaker 1: have to do is control yourself and this every Monday
Speaker 1: can be this sure, so you could be sensible like
Speaker 1: me and I only had like five shots last night.
Speaker 1: So the world is fine the right way. That's the normal,
Speaker 1: normal Sunday. Or let's start off as we always do.
Speaker 1: Let's put our ears the ground, our fingers on the
Speaker 1: posseline that a family member just died, because forty seven
Speaker 1: is probably what the answer to that question is. Let's
Speaker 1: put our ears with the ground, our figures in the pulse.
Speaker 1: Unletss s, what's happened to this great, big, wide world
Speaker 1: of ours and we go to Chicago. Everybody where they
Speaker 1: have gathered this morning to do something that I guess
Speaker 1: there's a group that does this. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's a Monday thing, because it feels kind of like
Speaker 1: a Monday thing.
Speaker 3: I want to do it as a Monday thing.
Speaker 1: But they gather on the shores of Lake Michigan and
Speaker 1: they just scream. This is what they do to start
Speaker 1: their week. This is a little weird, but here it is. Okay,
Speaker 1: go right, that's it. Yeah, I guess so. I guess
Speaker 1: they go out there on Mondays. I don't know what
Speaker 1: they have to complain about. It summer in Chicago. Go
Speaker 1: out there in the middle of the winter. That's when
Speaker 1: you should be screaming at Lake Michigan sucks. Now you
Speaker 1: go out there and it's miserable. That's not what I do, though,
Speaker 1: Just for the record, it's not how I it's not
Speaker 1: how I start my Monday off.
Speaker 3: I have a very different thing.
Speaker 1: I wake up, I stare into the mirror, I look
Speaker 1: directly in my own eyes.
Speaker 5: No no, what, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: It's better than screaming. It's much better than screaming. If
Speaker 1: you want to start your Monday off that way from
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he doesn't know, folks, don't tell him.
Speaker 1: Nobody tell him. Nobody tells se Lane. Only fake answers
Speaker 1: are acceptable. What is that from? You don't know this?
Speaker 1: This is how you start off. You're ringing a bell?

Speaker 1: Oh god. This is why.
Speaker 3: Okay, but I just realized something.
Speaker 1: This is why sometimes gives me no response to what
Speaker 1: is undoubtedly an absolutely banger text message. And I now
Speaker 1: I know why he didn't respond to one that I
Speaker 1: sent this weekend, which one now I am. I try
Speaker 1: to be good about it this time. Here here, this
Speaker 1: is this is great. For those of you who have
Speaker 1: actually seen this movie. This is fantastic. Hang on here
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 3: Kimi guy. Can I come on?
Speaker 1: It's actually from Obsession for those of you who don't know,
Speaker 1: the runaway hit of the year Obsession, and this is Obsession.
Speaker 1: Somebody dubbed it in Japanese.
Speaker 3: Kimmi guy.
Speaker 1: Can I come on? You still haven't seen this? Yes?
Speaker 8: I have.
Speaker 1: You don't know the most famous scene in the movie.
Speaker 1: I said earlier, I've seen Obsession.
Speaker 3: Yes, more than anyone, She says.
Speaker 1: Nikki Nikki, So this is one of the most intense
Speaker 1: parts of the movie if you haven't seen it, where
Speaker 1: the guy that's like the star of it says, Nikki,
Speaker 1: does your dad really have cancer? She spins, but in
Speaker 1: Japanese this time.
Speaker 9: Oh gosh different wait wait wait, told me know in
Speaker 9: Japanese is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yea, so much better, Jevine. No idea what they're saying,
Speaker 1: No idea what they're saying, but still a good time.
Speaker 1: Somebody tuned in right in the middle of that was like,
Speaker 1: what the hell the hell happened? Let's going on stage now?
Speaker 1: God only knows truly. Okay, we have many things to discuss,
Speaker 1: but as always when we start off the week, we
Speaker 1: usually go to the box office. And it was a
Speaker 1: big banger of a weekend at the box office. A
Speaker 1: lot of money's coming in the movies having their biggest
Speaker 1: year since the year twenty twenty. All right, says, everything
Speaker 1: crashed and burned, and people said, movies are over. Ain't
Speaker 1: nobody gonna be going to the movie theater anymore, Sean,
Speaker 1: But here they are. And they went to the Odyssey.
Speaker 1: Despite the haters and some critics and some people who
Speaker 1: are upset about x or Ys. Whatever it was, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of people who bought tickets to go
Speaker 1: see The Odyssey for one hundred and twenty four million
Speaker 1: dollar weekend. Yes, one hundred and twenty four million dollars,
Speaker 1: Number one, Mawana number two with nineteen toy Story five,
Speaker 1: number three with fourteen point eight million dollars. That's how
Speaker 1: it shaped up over there. The interesting thing about that
Speaker 1: was there was people who were coming at the Odyssey,
Speaker 1: which I had never quite understood the campaign they had
Speaker 1: going on where they thought it was woke because I
Speaker 1: think there's like a black actress in some role that
Speaker 1: was supposed to be They're all supposed to be Greeks.
Speaker 1: There's no Greeks in the whole thing, all right, and
Speaker 1: there's a black actress that plays Helen of Troy, right yeah,
Speaker 1: and like all the the people aren't the correct races,
Speaker 1: but everybody's supposed to be Greek, I believe, in the
Speaker 1: entire thing.
Speaker 3: And so that was that was off of people who
Speaker 3: upset about that.
Speaker 1: And then you have Ellen Page now Elliott Page or
Speaker 1: whatever is some roll in it. And when I was
Speaker 1: watching this, I go, I feel like, if you watch
Speaker 1: this movie in the theaters and do tell me, because
Speaker 1: I didn't see The Odyssey this weekend. Do tell me
Speaker 1: if you did see it. I feel like those things
Speaker 1: are like like this, like a flash in this movie
Speaker 1: that's two and a half hours long, and so everybody's
Speaker 1: talking about drama that is like flies by on the
Speaker 1: screen like that and isn't really you know, worth even
Speaker 1: blabbing about. Does Helen of Troy not have a significant
Speaker 1: role in the Odyssey. I mean, maybe she does. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's bigger than I thought, But I thought, like I
Speaker 1: thought that the the whatever they were being dramatic about
Speaker 1: wasn't big enough as part of the movie for everybody
Speaker 1: to freak out. And clearly this was one of those
Speaker 1: things where it's like most people just want to see
Speaker 1: a cool movie. Yeah, they want to see a cool, big,
Speaker 1: blockbuster type movie. I don't typically, you know this about
Speaker 1: me like movies that are based in this timeframe. But
Speaker 1: I think I will see the Odyssey because I like
Speaker 1: the story. It's an epic, right, Yeah, there's something about
Speaker 1: the Odyssey that I've always thought was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: I also I remember like learning about the Odyssey in school.
Speaker 1: This is this is so nerdy. I can't believe we're
Speaker 1: starting to like this on a Monday. I was learning
Speaker 1: about the Odyssey in school, but I already knew what
Speaker 1: a trojan horse virus was, but I didn't know why
Speaker 1: it was called that. And then when we learned about it,
Speaker 1: I was like, huh, all right, but it's a lot
Speaker 1: of sense. I thought the trojan horse story was history.
Speaker 1: I thought it was actually true. I thought. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't there a moment when the soldiers wanted to
Speaker 1: get to invade this place and they built a horse
Speaker 1: as a present, and then they all got inside the horse,
Speaker 1: and then when they opened up, they they started launching
Speaker 1: a war on them. And I was like, that was
Speaker 1: part of history, right, The trojan horse was history. You
Speaker 1: would have to look back on that and go, well,
Speaker 1: that is the silliest thing to fall for, but for
Speaker 1: the for the victor, the smartest thing that will only
Speaker 1: work one time, right, Yeah, next time you send a
Speaker 1: big gift, people are gonna be real curious. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, and I legitimately, Bootsie says, I thought the
Speaker 1: same thing hundred percent when I was younger. I thought.
Speaker 1: When I when I say younger, I mean maybe not
Speaker 1: even that long ago. I thought that was a real
Speaker 1: thing that happened in history, Like remember when they loaded
Speaker 1: up in the Trojan Horse Friday? Yeah, yeah, when you
Speaker 1: learn Well, you know, I did see a video that
Speaker 1: reminded me of this weekend because this young dude, he's
Speaker 1: filming himself. He shows up to watch the Odyssey and
Speaker 1: he buys his ticket and he's pulling behind him a
Speaker 1: giant Trojan Horse, which very clearly has his friends in it.
Speaker 1: They would have not purchased tickets to go see the Odyssey,
Speaker 1: and they're like, what is that. He's like, it's just
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. I'm really into the movie. And
Speaker 1: they go, we need to see what's in that. He's like,
Speaker 1: it's just a gift. It's a gift that I've brought
Speaker 1: for my Gosh. If I were the theater manager, I
Speaker 1: think I would let him in. I like, for you win,
Speaker 1: you win this round, We'll let it happen. We'll allow
Speaker 1: for it to occur here. I do have an amazing
Speaker 1: story about the Odyssey that I want to tell everybody
Speaker 1: when we come back. We've got a big, giant hero
Speaker 1: moment for everybody as well that will share with you
Speaker 1: what's going on with this tropical depression that's going to
Speaker 1: be tropical storm Bertha.
Speaker 3: What should we all expect?
Speaker 1: No matter where you're listening right now, we'll tell you
Speaker 1: about that as well, and a whole lot more. And
Speaker 1: it's coming up next in the news junkie. Some of
Speaker 1: you are deranged, all right, you are deranged. You fans
Speaker 1: of this movie. You went and saw this this week
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five million dollars at the box office.
Speaker 1: One of them Amberg Conahan. Now, if you're wondering why
Speaker 1: I would call somebody who likes the movie The Odyssey deranged,
Speaker 1: stick with me. Just trust me a little bit. Don't
Speaker 1: you trust me? After all these years? Amber Conahan, a
Speaker 1: twenty nine year old tech editor living in the California Desert,
Speaker 1: bought her ticket to The Odyssey over a year in advance.
Speaker 1: Let's stop at that. Have any of you ever, for
Speaker 1: a single moment in your life, ever bought a ticket
Speaker 1: for a movie a year in advance.
Speaker 3: It's usually not even possible.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, number one, I know that I've seen
Speaker 1: that possibility before. We just had a story last week
Speaker 1: in the Hot sheet where they were pre selling tickets
Speaker 1: to I want to say, one of the new Marvel
Speaker 1: on maybe Avengers kind of deal, they're pre selling it,
Speaker 1: and they were like, okay, if they're pre selling the tickets,
Speaker 1: that means if you buy a ticket, you clearly have
Speaker 1: to have a time and a date to watch the movie.
Speaker 1: And if they're scheduling the movie, they need to have
Speaker 1: a rough estimate of the run time of the movie.
Speaker 1: That was the point of the story was that it
Speaker 1: was going to be long, another long run time movie
Speaker 1: like a lot of these popular movies have been.
Speaker 3: The Odyssey is two and a half hours or something, right.
Speaker 10: So.
Speaker 1: If she bought a ticket for this over a year
Speaker 1: in advance, it would mean that they knew the runtime
Speaker 1: and they were actually scheduling the movie over a year
Speaker 1: in advance, or did she just buy like some sort
Speaker 1: of voucher or guarantee. I think they really did start
Speaker 1: the promotional campaign for The Odyssey with not Ben Affleckt,
Speaker 1: Matt Damon and all the other people that are in
Speaker 1: it as well. It's a huge movie. I think they
Speaker 1: started it really, really really early. They spent a lot
Speaker 1: of money promoting the hell out of this, but it
Speaker 1: worked one hundred and twenty five million dollars to fifty
Speaker 1: globally two hundred and fifty million dollars, which was the
Speaker 1: budget of the movie. So that doesn't mean for those
Speaker 1: of you who don't understand how the business works, that
Speaker 1: does not mean that they've made all the money back
Speaker 1: from the movie. The theaters in some wild plan to
Speaker 1: squeak out a profit. Do get to keep some of
Speaker 1: the box office money about tof of it, right, so
Speaker 1: half of it goes to the movie theaters.
Speaker 3: And then also you have a budget every.
Speaker 1: Money on concessions too. Sean, Yeah, but they make at
Speaker 1: the beginning especially and then you know, further in depends
Speaker 1: on what the deal is with the movie. But they
Speaker 1: make a lot of money off of the movies being
Speaker 1: in the theaters, or at least a portion of the
Speaker 1: box office.
Speaker 3: So it made a bunch of money.
Speaker 1: But they were pushing this so early that this woman
Speaker 1: bought a ticket to see the movie The Odyssey one
Speaker 1: year before it came out. The only thing I've ever
Speaker 1: heard like this is I know some people who pre
Speaker 1: ordered Duke newcom before it was released, and I think
Speaker 1: it took a decade for the Duke nukeomb follow up
Speaker 1: to be released, So that's the longest run of money.
Speaker 1: Get their money back in that amount of time. I
Speaker 1: think it came out eventually, maybe not. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But Amber Conahan, twenty nine year old tech editor living
Speaker 1: in California, bought her ticket to The Odyssey over a
Speaker 1: year in advance and is prepared to drive three hours
Speaker 1: to reach the nearest theaters showing the film in the
Speaker 1: format because she wants to see it on the.
Speaker 3: Big screen seventy millimeter IMAX.
Speaker 1: She said a pregnant friend had recently urged her to
Speaker 1: start trying for a second baby, but she wasn't ready
Speaker 1: to risk the timing clashing.
Speaker 3: With the movie's release.
Speaker 1: So this woman buys a ticket to see The Odyssey
Speaker 1: a year ahead of time. Right then, the woman was
Speaker 1: gonna have a second baby, but didn't want to risk
Speaker 1: having a second baby because she didn't want it to
Speaker 1: interrupt her availability when it came to go watch the
Speaker 1: movie The Odyssey at the theater. How do you even
Speaker 1: know it's going to be any good? You know? Are
Speaker 1: you that big of a Chris Nolan fan? Are you
Speaker 1: that big of aamer fan? Yeah? People like Chris Nolan, right,
Speaker 1: did the Batman movie? Yeah, so like he's got a
Speaker 1: big following. Maybe she just thought this is gonna be great.
Speaker 1: She said, No, I have to wait a few months
Speaker 1: otherwise it's going to be too close to have a
Speaker 1: baby to the odyssey. And she just did all of
Speaker 1: this stuff, like went so far to go watch this movie.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm hoping she was thrilled with seeing
Speaker 1: the movie over the weekend. I'm sure she and d
Speaker 1: But I have never done that in my life, Like
Speaker 1: I've never thought, oh, there's a movie coming out, it's
Speaker 1: a year from now. I don't know how to do
Speaker 1: that with concerts. I don't do that with anything at all.
Speaker 1: Concerts would be months in advance, like maybe when they
Speaker 1: announced the tour when I mean tickets don't go on
Speaker 1: sale for a concert more than a year in advance.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll hear the concert dates and it'll say December
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, and I'll think, cheese, Holy cows. I
Speaker 1: don't do anything that far in advance. Maybe some of
Speaker 1: you do, maybe some of you are really into it.
Speaker 1: But let us know and give us your reviews. If
Speaker 1: you went and saw the movie, or if you think
Speaker 1: it sucked and it was woke, or I don't know,
Speaker 1: whatever you thought, let us know. Give us your thoughts
Speaker 1: over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Quick hero moment here that
Speaker 1: went viral over the weekend over a million views. This
Speaker 1: police officer is cruising along when he encounters a vehicle
Speaker 1: on fire and the vehicle is like fully engulfed in flames.
Speaker 1: I don't know for what reason. The guy behind the
Speaker 1: wheel or something must have been stunned because he wasn't
Speaker 1: getting out of the vehicle. Here's how this went down.
Speaker 1: Listen him, get out, get.
Speaker 11: Out, get out, get out, Get out of the car,
Speaker 11: Get out of the car.
Speaker 1: I don't know, most people probably won't have noticed that.
Speaker 1: Most of you are just listening. But either way, the
Speaker 1: craziest thing to me is he comes up to this car,
Speaker 1: it's totally on fire, and when he goes to try
Speaker 1: to open the door, the cop grabs the door handle.
Speaker 1: You see here, Ready watch this sea lan and the
Speaker 1: door handle pulls right off of the car. And I said,
Speaker 1: was this because of the ferocity that the officer was
Speaker 1: trying to open the door with him or was this
Speaker 1: because the car gets so hot.
Speaker 3: And all that stuff is just melting in there?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, Like I wonder if the heat from the
Speaker 1: fire had loosened the glue that holds that door handle on.
Speaker 1: You would think it would be probable a little more,
Speaker 1: I don't know, secure than that, it's a cheaper car.
Speaker 1: And then so the guy has his yea open open,
Speaker 1: open it, get out. I mean, the smoke is just
Speaker 1: pummeling out window. They him out to the window. Sure,
Speaker 1: come out, breaks the.
Speaker 4: Window, Give me a head, give me a head, give
Speaker 4: me your hand out, I got your give me out.
Speaker 1: Pulls them out the window.
Speaker 12: All right, okay, anybody else in the car, no one
Speaker 12: else in the car, and you no one else in
Speaker 12: the car?
Speaker 1: Come minute?
Speaker 13: Here, got here?
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 1: Here?
Speaker 7: Here?
Speaker 1: Is there anyone else in the car? No one else
Speaker 1: in the car? All right? In the car is just
Speaker 1: it's completely inflaves the guy maybe he was stunned, maybe
Speaker 1: something medically is going on. I don't know exactly what
Speaker 1: was happening here, but the guy was in the driver's
Speaker 1: seat of his vehicle and he wouldn't get out. The
Speaker 1: cop had has smashed the window and start pulling him
Speaker 1: out of the car. And it was just sort of
Speaker 1: like stunned in this moment and unbelievable to see the
Speaker 1: heroic movement to the police officer.
Speaker 3: Do we even know this guy out of the vehicle.
Speaker 1: Do we know what caused a fire or anything else
Speaker 1: about how like what may have stunned him? Yeah, hang on,
Speaker 1: I have some details on this. I'll put this up
Speaker 1: on see it now as well, because it's a visual.
Speaker 1: I want you guys to be able to see it
Speaker 1: if you're listening right now. But the cop came up
Speaker 1: to the vehicle and he says, give me your hand,
Speaker 1: pulls this.
Speaker 3: Man out from this car.
Speaker 1: The details A routine traffic stop on Saturday turned into
Speaker 1: a heroic moment when a Texas cop pulled a man
Speaker 1: out of his car right before it burst into flames.
Speaker 1: Get out, get out, get out, Get out of the car,
Speaker 1: the officer says. The officer was Corporal Joshua Swisher from
Speaker 1: the South Lake Police Department. Swisher was seen on his
Speaker 1: dash cam rushing up to the burning Nissan and urging
Speaker 1: the mail driver to get out asap. The cop tossed
Speaker 1: a glove on his hand and smashed the window to
Speaker 1: give the driver more space to exit. He then reached
Speaker 1: in and helped the man get out of the vehicle,
Speaker 1: they said. Fox Foard Dallas reported Swisher was pulling over
Speaker 1: a Mercedes for speeding. When the smoking Nissan pulled ahead
Speaker 1: of them and parked, he quickly pivoted into helping the
Speaker 1: Nissan driver who was suffering from shock because his.
Speaker 3: Door wouldn't open.
Speaker 1: So I guess he panicked because you know, the car,
Speaker 1: the door is not opening and he's stuck in there
Speaker 1: and it's engulfed in smoke.
Speaker 3: Somebody says maybe he was a monk protesting the war.
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't. It wasn't self immolation. His car was
Speaker 1: on fire and he got stuck inside there and then
Speaker 1: the police officer let him out. He said, he grabbed
Speaker 1: onto me. We got him out of the car shortly
Speaker 1: before the entire interior of the vehicle went up in flames.
Speaker 1: And then the craziest thing is the guy was okay,
Speaker 1: he was alright. He survived this whole thing. And the
Speaker 1: speeding Mercedes driver got a warning that, you know, the
Speaker 1: brutal thing. Did he go back to the Mercedes vehicle
Speaker 1: and go I'm sorry, I'm sorry warning? Did he? Because
Speaker 1: that would have been the move, Like, I'm a serious
Speaker 1: police officer. You're not getting off just because I saved
Speaker 1: somebody else's life. But it's wild and I'll put that
Speaker 1: up over on see it now right now. In fact,
Speaker 1: I'm getting a screenshot for it so you can see
Speaker 1: what's going on.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 1: Look, I like highlighting when when good things happen with
Speaker 1: police officers, bad things often pop up into the news.
Speaker 1: I'm very critical of police officers, as many of you
Speaker 1: have heard over the years, but I think it's important
Speaker 1: to showcase all of the sides of this that you
Speaker 1: possibly could. So cop saves man from burning car. That
Speaker 1: will do it. It's up on see it now over
Speaker 1: on the Neewsjunkie dot com and you can take a
Speaker 1: look at that when you get a chance. And also
Speaker 1: if you miss anything on the show that's say a visual.
Speaker 1: If I don't put it up, please let me know
Speaker 1: and I'll do it afterwards if you want. You know,
Speaker 1: if you miss something, I want to make sure everybody's
Speaker 1: able to see what we're talking about. There you go,
Speaker 1: that's up on See it now over at the Neewsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com. Lots of rate my blanks coming in. It's
Speaker 1: good to see these. I'm seeing a lot of people
Speaker 1: sitting in their magnet collections. This one is somebody saying,
Speaker 1: here's my magnet.
Speaker 3: An amazing location. It is just on the side of
Speaker 3: their dog.
Speaker 1: They've just taken the magnet, the news junkie magnet now
Speaker 1: just on their dog's belly. If this were a video
Speaker 1: dispatch and the dog got up and started walking and
Speaker 1: the magnet stayed on, I'd be very impressed. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you would want to, like, maybe you're such a fan
Speaker 1: that you went to the links of installing magnets in
Speaker 1: the side of your dog so or metal I guess
Speaker 1: you're like a metal plate so that your dog could
Speaker 1: be fixed with the news junkie magnet.
Speaker 3: That would be impressive.
Speaker 1: Maybe probably bad actually for the dog, But I want
Speaker 1: to see more of these. This is the news junkie
Speaker 1: at the Grand Canyon Grand Canyon National Park. Look, somebody
Speaker 1: over the weekend goes, hey, I saw this in Chicago.
Speaker 1: Did you leave this here? And it was the news
Speaker 1: junkie sticker in the middle of downtown Chicago outside of
Speaker 1: a bar on the door, and I was like, no idea,
Speaker 1: no idea, who put that out there? Whoever did, shouts
Speaker 1: out to you for spreading the word. And that's what
Speaker 1: I want to see pictures of for rate my blank
Speaker 1: your magnet collections. I want to see your magnets in
Speaker 1: the most amazing places. We'll keep that going on throughout
Speaker 1: the week. We'll showcase them and we'll see, uh, just
Speaker 1: what you have for us.
Speaker 3: So send those as a.
Speaker 1: Dispatch of photo dispatch over at thenewschunki dot com. Right now,
Speaker 1: we got to talk about what's happening with the tropical
Speaker 1: storm potentially out there. But did you watch the World
Speaker 1: Cup Final game? Yeah, we had it on while they
Speaker 1: were doing other stuff. We had it on. I watched
Speaker 1: the halftime show from the pool, just kind of like
Speaker 1: floating around. We'll seeing all the Shakiro and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Let's start there, because is this the first time they've
Speaker 1: ever had a halftime show.
Speaker 3: At a World Cup final?
Speaker 1: I think they're really this is so big for the
Speaker 1: super Bowl and we have way more people watching than
Speaker 1: the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get twenty six.
Speaker 1: FIFA World Cup Final made history by hosting the tournament's
Speaker 1: first ever super Bowl style halftime show. Okay, yeah, so
Speaker 1: they had justin Bieber. They had Shakira doing her Waka
Speaker 1: Waka song, which they really missed the boat on that.
Speaker 1: Why because they also had the Muppets out there. Oh
Speaker 1: and they could have had the Muppets. They could have
Speaker 1: had Fozzy Bear do the Waka Waka song with Shakira.
Speaker 1: Like what a I can't believe this. I saw somebody
Speaker 1: point that out. I'm like, what a missed opportunity? Are
Speaker 1: you sure they didn't they didn't know that they had
Speaker 1: The Muppets were out there. I forgot what song they played.
Speaker 1: Was it's not song too? Oh it was White Stripes
Speaker 1: seven Nation. Yeah, yeah, they had them doing that. I
Speaker 1: saw them getting ready. There was a lot of very
Speaker 1: strange things. Just for those of you watching, you could
Speaker 1: watch the show on YouTube dot com, slash and the
Speaker 1: news junk. They were filling up this World Cup trophy
Speaker 1: with air. Check this out very very very very sexual looking.
Speaker 1: I have to be honest with you. As they very
Speaker 1: quickly fill up the World Cup Trophy to be one
Speaker 1: of these stage props around the stage for the halftime.
Speaker 1: That's actually pretty impressive. Like how much air do you
Speaker 1: think they just unloaded into that so fast?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 1: Like this thing is massive and they go it rises
Speaker 1: like a morning excitement, all right, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: it very quickly goes up as everybody's standing around, and
Speaker 1: then they had justin Bieber out there, he was introduced
Speaker 1: by what's his name, Ted Lasso and crew. It was
Speaker 1: all very strange. I mean, I don't understand why they
Speaker 1: did anything that they did. Honestly, it wasn't that great,
Speaker 1: if I'm totally honest with you. The headline on New
Speaker 1: York Times says, first World Cup halftime show of stars,
Speaker 1: little purpose. Yeah what, I don't know what was going on?
Speaker 1: So why is my question for the World Cup halftime show?
Speaker 3: I think that's a lot of people's questions.
Speaker 1: The performers valiantly attempted to justify the existence of the show,
Speaker 1: which was impeccably choreographed and thematically jumbled. It was you
Speaker 1: had to that.
Speaker 3: Like I said, you had the Muppets out there.
Speaker 1: Why why are the Muppets doing Seven Nation Army? And
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not saying it's not cool. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: why are the Muppets doing it? Shakira did like a
Speaker 1: World Cup song, so I know why she would probably
Speaker 1: be out there.
Speaker 3: I can make sense of that.
Speaker 1: I've I mean, seven Nation Army, I think is an
Speaker 1: easy pick for stuff like this because it is such
Speaker 1: a common soccer chant. It's a common chant at these
Speaker 1: big games. No matter who the team. Yeah, it's huge, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I get that kind of but why why the Muppets,
Speaker 1: Why is Tom Cruise out there? Why is Justine? Justin
Speaker 1: Bieber did like a Hallelujah song and it's just him
Speaker 1: and an acoustic guitar, And I thought, brother, like, you
Speaker 1: got to come out with a banger. This is the
Speaker 1: World Cup. This isn't that like intimate concert you were
Speaker 1: doing that. People were like semi divided over. This is
Speaker 1: your your performing at the World Cup. Just do Baby,
Speaker 1: do the slipknot version of Baby, like any other great
Speaker 1: American hero would do. Get out there and do that.
Speaker 1: But it was kind of weird, honestly, And it wasn't
Speaker 1: that it was bad. It was just strange. Some of
Speaker 1: the people didn't like it. Wayne Rooney here, he iss
Speaker 1: mom was wrying to finish. I like, it's so hard
Speaker 1: to understand him. But he said, I like a lot
Speaker 1: of the performance, but I thought it was crap, said
Speaker 1: Wayne Rooney right afterwards. He's the one of the announcers
Speaker 1: out there and he's like, I thought it was crap.
Speaker 1: I can see how people from other countries were would
Speaker 1: put poo on the idea of a World Cup halftime show, like,
Speaker 1: oh great, the World Cup is in America again, first
Speaker 1: time in I don't know what twenty six, twenty four
Speaker 1: years something whatever. Ninety two ninety four was the last
Speaker 1: time we had it in America. And of course now
Speaker 1: that it's back in America, they got a USAFI everything,
Speaker 1: we got commercial breaks, we've got ninety shows, you know,
Speaker 1: We've got we've got you know, so I can see
Speaker 1: why they're breaking with tradition in their heads and it's
Speaker 1: all our fault. So they're like, ah, that's cop. I'll
Speaker 1: give you my favorite one two punch. The best performer
Speaker 1: as far as people's reaction that I saw was Shakira,
Speaker 1: who did one of the performances for this halftime thing
Speaker 1: that they were doing. Somebody's saying post Malone was good
Speaker 1: in the pregame thing, but Shakira got the most kudos
Speaker 1: out thought. And you see her, she's doing her Shakira thing.
Speaker 1: You get her right, you know, very Shakira. And then
Speaker 1: my favorite post afterwards was one point eight million views.
Speaker 1: Barry says, my my son got so upset at Shakira's
Speaker 1: outfit he stormed into his room and locked the door.
Speaker 3: Pretty good, actually, not bad.
Speaker 1: My son got so upset at Shakira's outfit he stormed
Speaker 1: into his room and locked the door. It's like, did
Speaker 1: you watch the halftime show. I mean you always saw clips,
Speaker 1: at least saw that clip right there. It just me
Speaker 1: or to Shakira look different. I think it was the
Speaker 1: tax trial that was It really did a number on her.
Speaker 1: Something about the tax trial. We were all talking about it.
Speaker 1: We were all talking about it in the pool and
Speaker 1: like what's different about her? And then people like did
Speaker 1: she have work done? And then and then somebody's googling
Speaker 1: and says, Shakira said famously at one point that she's
Speaker 1: never had work done, and I was like, she's still
Speaker 1: saying it. We're still sticking with that. It feels like
Speaker 1: she's had something done. Somebody says, Justin's gonna be the
Speaker 1: one that one of these artists that plays new stuff
Speaker 1: and refuses to play the hits.
Speaker 3: Shaking my head.
Speaker 1: It was not that it was a hitter or not
Speaker 1: a hit. It was just like a slow jam. And
Speaker 1: I think, like you have to realize people want energy
Speaker 1: in those moments, be like doing the Super Bowl halftime
Speaker 1: show and doing slow jams. It just it doesn't work
Speaker 1: with the vibe. People are saying, let's go, let's party,
Speaker 1: let's do it. And I don't know if that one worked.
Speaker 1: But you can tell you love yourself.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 1: No, well that was yeah, yeah, there's some language and
Speaker 1: you have to you have to do the love yourself version, right.
Speaker 1: The other one is after yourself. No, they're not getting
Speaker 1: that right. That's it's it's never been released that way.
Speaker 1: It wasn't. Oh, I thought for sure that was the
Speaker 1: first version. Was like you think it's I think it's
Speaker 1: just kind of one of those things where you, uh,
Speaker 1: you hear the song on the radio, it probably sounds
Speaker 1: the same way on the album. But if you see
Speaker 1: him in concert, he throw the last chorus, he throws
Speaker 1: a little left bomb and everybody goes nuts. Why he
Speaker 1: said the thing, But he just brought out some clunky
Speaker 1: acoustic Katar and you see Justin Bieber and he's like, oh, hellujah,
Speaker 1: Jesus is great and Jesus is really good and he's
Speaker 1: number one. We all love Jesus and I'm Justin Bieber
Speaker 1: right now. And as there was no punch to it
Speaker 1: at all, that was actually the lyric for lyric, just
Speaker 1: for the record. Right now, let's take a look at
Speaker 1: what's going on with this tropical storm Bertha. What do
Speaker 1: we need to know right now? It's tropical depression too
Speaker 1: turning into tropical storm Bertha. Lots of different past this
Speaker 1: thing could go. One is directly over your mother's house,
Speaker 1: depending on where she lives. Another is potentially over to
Speaker 1: our new friends in Louisiana. So you are on the
Speaker 1: radar here literally if you're in Texas. We've got a
Speaker 1: lot of people who hang out with us in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi.
Speaker 1: You're all sort of in the ConA death of this
Speaker 1: tropical depression too that is soon to be a tropical
Speaker 1: storm Bertha. So interest in Mississippi, Louisiana tech should monitor
Speaker 1: the progress of this system as additional storm watches could
Speaker 1: be required for portions of that area over the next
Speaker 1: day or two. Could be wins, flash flooding, all of
Speaker 1: that good stuff that occurs over the next twenty four
Speaker 1: to forty eight hours. And that's not the only storm
Speaker 1: out there. There's actually a couple more that we have
Speaker 1: to address at some point, and some that could lead
Speaker 1: to possibly an impact on Florida that they're just starting
Speaker 1: to watch now, but it's like it's hanging out right
Speaker 1: off the coast, right off the west coast of Florida,
Speaker 1: and it's trying to pull together. It's like trying to
Speaker 1: turn itself in a little bit of spinning. It kind
Speaker 1: of looks like a really weak hurricane is hitting Tallahassee
Speaker 1: in Port Saint Joe right there on the nipple of
Speaker 1: Florida as they call it, lower than the Panhandle, and
Speaker 1: that area is getting some pretty bad weather as the
Speaker 1: storm just rotates over and over and over again. Eventually,
Speaker 1: we're going to see what happens. Is this thing going
Speaker 1: to get strong enough to become a tropical storm?
Speaker 3: It looks like it will.
Speaker 1: It be a hurricane less likely, but we'll see what
Speaker 1: all the experts say about this as it develops over
Speaker 1: the next little bit here, and let's see is this
Speaker 1: a This is the g R A F model. This
Speaker 1: is showing this come together and then head over if
Speaker 1: this model is correct for that outer edge of Louisiana
Speaker 1: and then sort of buzzsaw against Louisiana there in the
Speaker 1: Gulf of America. Is this the first one the tropical
Speaker 1: depression two? Yeah? This this is this is the first one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that will be Bertha, and then there's one. There's another
Speaker 1: one in off the Pacific side of Mexico. Tropical Storm
Speaker 1: Fausto is out there that's doing it. That's thing, And
Speaker 1: there's a couple other storms that are starting to form up.
Speaker 1: Because it's been quiet. Corny's like, oh, it's been so quiet.
Speaker 1: We be cool to have a hurricane. Every time she
Speaker 1: says it, I slap her in the faith. I just
Speaker 1: backhand her. Every recent time that she does this, I
Speaker 1: have to remind her, like, what are I said, why
Speaker 1: do you want a hurricane? I said, it does damage
Speaker 1: to the house when it goes over our house, for
Speaker 1: God's sake. And she's like, it's just been a long time.
Speaker 1: She goes back to her old lady things. She's like, Sean,
Speaker 1: we really need the rain. We really need the rain
Speaker 1: from this dude gotten plenty of rain. She wants so
Speaker 1: much rain last week, no one follows the local lakes
Speaker 1: and their levels closer than she does. Okay, all weekend long.
Speaker 1: I think we need it. I think we need a hurricane.
Speaker 1: So if we get one, how old is Courtney mentally?
Speaker 1: Because I know she's much younger than you. I know
Speaker 1: she's much younger than you, But she's ten years younger
Speaker 1: than me. But she has her priorities aligned with somebody
Speaker 1: much older than you, Like she wants a speed bump
Speaker 1: in the in the neighborhood. She got it. She's worried
Speaker 1: about the lakes and what their levels are. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's for people in years beyond us. Do you know
Speaker 1: what she does to me? Does this happen to you?
Speaker 1: Seelane real quickly before we take a quick break and
Speaker 1: get our friend Amy Kawfeld on the line. We've gotten
Speaker 1: into some little skirmishes over this, and and she thinks
Speaker 1: that I'm crazy, But I want to throw it out
Speaker 1: there to you folks, especially who have been in a
Speaker 1: relationship for a long time, when your partner calls you
Speaker 1: by your name, does it weird you as? And it's
Speaker 1: happened a couple of times recently, and I don't know why, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know why it's I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: that that Ashley has tried to say something to me
Speaker 1: and I haven't responded, so instead she calls me by
Speaker 1: name instead of babe. That's we kin, We're usually we're babe.
Speaker 1: We're babe, babe. Yeah, yeah, Courtney the other day, like
Speaker 1: a couple of times she like she's like, oh, Sean,
Speaker 1: stop with it. And I'm like why what She goes,
Speaker 1: what that's your name? And I said, I don't know
Speaker 1: for for for some reason, there's something about that that
Speaker 1: gets me. I don't know if that gets you or not.
Speaker 1: But let us know, Chris, who's that is my dad
Speaker 1: here or something?
Speaker 4: What do you?
Speaker 1: Usually it's like babe or hun or whatever. But she
Speaker 1: has been saying my name. She's like, oh Sean, Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness. And if there's something about that, I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is. It's very very strange to me.
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be, but it is. Let me know what
Speaker 1: you think. Send a dispatch over the news Junkie dot
Speaker 1: Com quick Break, we'll keep an eye on the tropical Depression.
Speaker 1: We'll have some more updates on that with our friend
Speaker 1: Amy Kaufelt and see what she's got going on. We
Speaker 1: have a lot to run through and we're gonna kick
Speaker 1: off the second hour of the show with that. Our
Speaker 1: friend Amy Kaufelt is coming up next on the News Junkie.

Speaker 1: Amy Coffee out there.
Speaker 15: She is guy there go Monday.
Speaker 1: Happy Monday. How are you. How was your weekend?
Speaker 3: Amy Kauf?
Speaker 1: Though good, I'm good.
Speaker 16: I actually spent like my afternoons watching soccer on a weekend,
Speaker 16: and I've like never spent a whole weekend watching soccer.
Speaker 1: Really, what'd you think of that? The halftime show that
Speaker 1: they did during the World Cup?
Speaker 7: Sign loved it. I actually thought it was really good.
Speaker 16: I wish that the NFL would take a little like
Speaker 16: page out of the playbook of how they did it,
Speaker 16: because I liked how they captured something for every audience.
Speaker 16: And I'll be honest with you, guys, my favorite was
Speaker 16: the mompt I knew it.
Speaker 1: I know it. I know you were gonna say this
Speaker 1: for me. You didn't think it was like scatterbrained. It
Speaker 1: was like all over the place.
Speaker 7: No, it was fun.
Speaker 16: It was like super energetic, and I'm like, oh, like,
Speaker 16: it was just exciting.
Speaker 1: Exciting until it got to Justin Bieber and his acoustic guitar.
Speaker 1: It felt like it felt like you to the party
Speaker 1: where your friend just got like an acoustic guitar and
Speaker 1: learned how to play for six months and just wouldn't
Speaker 1: put it down, like here, listen, guys gonna play this song.
Speaker 1: I've been that guy. That's all I know exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you played the freshman by.
Speaker 7: The version that your favorite part? Did you have a
Speaker 7: favorite part? I?
Speaker 1: You know, I thought everybody did a good job ish,
Speaker 1: but I just thought it was like all kind of
Speaker 1: it was all over the plays to like haphazard for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't. Wasn't like maybe they were trying to win
Speaker 1: over everybody. I was very surprised that the Muppets were there.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you that I was. I didn't
Speaker 1: know that that was going to be a thing, but
Speaker 1: they do. We know why they were there.
Speaker 16: There were lots of little kids watching, so like for
Speaker 16: the little kids, they're like, they don't know who Madonna is,
Speaker 16: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, Madonna's like a year. Madonna was there
Speaker 1: for a second thing. Yeah, she came out and she
Speaker 1: was doing music or something, one of her songs. And
Speaker 1: then you had Shakira out there her in her thing.
Speaker 3: You had everybody performing that was with her.
Speaker 7: It was one.
Speaker 16: It was one of the Marley's, but I can't remember
Speaker 16: which Bob Marley remember this morning.
Speaker 1: No, I have no idea. Sure, who knows all the
Speaker 1: people that they brought out there. They really had a
Speaker 1: you know, they had a really really big panel of
Speaker 1: celebrities to target every single person that could be watching,
Speaker 1: which is fine.
Speaker 3: It was fine.
Speaker 16: I see that the announcer saw Matt Damon in the audience,
Speaker 16: but he thought he was Brad Pitt.
Speaker 3: Oh no, did they get mixed up?
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, it says Shakira and burna Boy, burn
Speaker 1: a Boy. Yeah, yeah, I think I think burna Boy
Speaker 1: has done something with Rihanna, if I'm if I'm correct
Speaker 1: on that. I don't know if that's right, but I
Speaker 1: feel like that might be right, and I know him
Speaker 1: from that. But it was fun to watch. The whole
Speaker 1: World Cup thing is done. Now we got to find
Speaker 1: whatever the next thing is to keep us entertained here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess so.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think only I saw about baseball this weekend. I
Speaker 1: don't know if this was new or not, but somebody
Speaker 1: had sent this over. There was a Cubs game and
Speaker 1: Steel pull this up just real quick. I'll mute this
Speaker 1: because I don't know if they're going to curse each other.
Speaker 1: In fact, they're probably going too. But there was some
Speaker 1: young guy at the Cubs game who wasn't standing up
Speaker 1: for the national anthem, and the old dude's like, stand up,
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna smack the hell out of you, and
Speaker 1: he smacked them. And the young guy got up for
Speaker 1: the national anthem, and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: what it like. You could go to jail for that, right. Wow.
Speaker 1: He goes behind this young dude, He's like, get up,
Speaker 1: get your ass up for the national anthem. Stand up,
Speaker 1: and the young guy's like what and then he slaps him.
Speaker 1: He hit him at the Cubs game, and some of
Speaker 1: the other people were like, whoa, what the hell's going
Speaker 1: on here? So baseball will have to be our new
Speaker 1: source of drama. And this is the first thing that
Speaker 1: I have for us here at the very least. So
Speaker 1: we'll see where that goes. Anything else during your weekend
Speaker 1: that stood out to you me call him.
Speaker 16: I'm just so fascinated by that video that the kid
Speaker 16: did it right and I did it. It will be
Speaker 16: interesting to see what comes of that because I didn't
Speaker 16: look like much of a kid. He looked like he
Speaker 16: was in his twenties, right, But I'm just wondering like
Speaker 16: do you talk publicly about it and maybe file charges
Speaker 16: and then make a bigger spectacle out of it and
Speaker 16: then bring attention on yourself, because then people are going
Speaker 16: to be like.
Speaker 7: Well, why weren't you standing? You know what I mean?
Speaker 7: I mean I feel like it's a catch twenty two.
Speaker 16: Like I feel like if he were to do something
Speaker 16: that that it could like come back.
Speaker 1: To I just think he I think he could if
Speaker 1: he wanted to. Have you ever slapped anybody.
Speaker 10: Me?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Oh, I mean I've smacked my kid on the butt.
Speaker 1: No, I mean somebody in the face, have you? No?
Speaker 14: You?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think you need to.
Speaker 1: I think everybody needs to at least once in their lifetime. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like because there is something to it. I've never done it.
Speaker 1: I done to me, not fun back of the head.
Speaker 16: It was more of like a it was like something
Speaker 16: a grandpa would do to their grandkid.
Speaker 1: Come on, no, I mean like in a movie, like
Speaker 1: you lean back and you open hand slab Like there's
Speaker 1: there's got to be I'm sure that there's been some
Speaker 1: people who have come up to you in public and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I'd like to just swing one at
Speaker 1: one of these people, right, now she's too nice for
Speaker 1: this though.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately folks, Yes.
Speaker 7: Sean, but that day has that day has probably come up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably, I would think, so, well, should be
Speaker 1: we be worried? What are your experts saying over there
Speaker 1: at Fox thirty five, Amy call Fell, what's going on
Speaker 1: with this tropical storm? Maybe Bertha?
Speaker 7: Bertha?
Speaker 16: I think, well, no, there's nothing for us to worry
Speaker 16: about here, And in fact, I feel bad for Texas
Speaker 16: because you guys know that Texas has been inundated with
Speaker 16: rain over.
Speaker 7: The last several days.
Speaker 16: We've been sent people from central Florida are heading over
Speaker 16: there to try to help with swift water rescues.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a couple of people have sadly died, so yeah,
Speaker 7: so but yeah, so this storm looks.
Speaker 16: Like right now it's heading for Louisiana Tech and we
Speaker 16: do think it will probably be upgraded and get a
Speaker 16: name at some point today, which would be Bertha. But no,
Speaker 16: as far as we're concerned here in Florida, we were
Speaker 16: we should be fine.
Speaker 1: I know, we're getting quite a ways into hurricane season
Speaker 1: here and we haven't even named a bee storm yet,
Speaker 1: which is crazy, Like, when was the last time we
Speaker 1: got to July twentieth, and we hadn't had two named
Speaker 1: storms been like.
Speaker 7: Over a month since Arthur.
Speaker 16: But they've been predicting that this isn't going to be
Speaker 16: much of a season. One it's El Nino, and then
Speaker 16: two on top of that, we keep having these Saharan
Speaker 16: dust that keeps for our way. So every time that
Speaker 16: happens out also downtaps, you know, the chances that something
Speaker 16: will just.
Speaker 1: Isn't there just a way for us to tap into that? Like,
Speaker 1: can we make it so each year we do something
Speaker 1: so the Saharan dust flies over, and then the Saharan
Speaker 1: dust soaks up all the moisture, and then we don't
Speaker 1: get the hurricane, and then Florida never gets.
Speaker 3: A hurricane again.
Speaker 7: Right, That'd be nice, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3: There's got to be a way.
Speaker 16: People up North Sean dealing with the Canadian smoke I
Speaker 16: know actually concern about yesterday's game because they played that
Speaker 16: game in New York that the Canadian smoke might impact
Speaker 16: the game, and they were trying to figure out should
Speaker 16: they move it.
Speaker 7: Can you imagine if they'd had to move that game?
Speaker 7: That would have been insane?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that there were some storms that came
Speaker 1: up and then it like sort of absorbed a lot
Speaker 1: of that stuff that was going on and it cleared
Speaker 1: it up, thankfully. But yeah, I had some friends in
Speaker 1: New Jersey and New York that I was talking to
Speaker 1: and they said, you go outside right now, and it's
Speaker 1: it's pretty bad. And they thought that it might be
Speaker 1: that bad for Saturday or Sunday's game, especially Sunday's.
Speaker 3: Game, because that was obviously going to be bad.
Speaker 16: The President was saying that Canada needs to like own
Speaker 16: up to this smoke issue because this is to become
Speaker 16: like a recurring thing in the summertime. But then I
Speaker 16: thought it was interesting. So at the game yesterday, you
Speaker 16: had all these dignitaries lined up. You know, they had
Speaker 16: president of FIFA, and then you had President Trump, and
Speaker 16: then you had the President of Mexico.
Speaker 7: I had the Prime Minister of Canada, and.
Speaker 16: I'm like, I wonder, can you imagine if it had
Speaker 16: been like super smoke, he President would have been like, U.
Speaker 1: This is you fault? Yeah, why are your trees burning?
Speaker 3: Why is this happening right now?
Speaker 1: Just gonna put some more tariffs. If we can fix
Speaker 1: that too, we can fix the world. Here. We got
Speaker 1: the Saharan dust. We're gonna put out the fires on
Speaker 1: one thing.
Speaker 3: At a time.
Speaker 1: All right, what's grabbing your attention in the news world today,
Speaker 1: you guys, We have just this.
Speaker 7: Is probably the story that a lot of people are
Speaker 7: talking about.
Speaker 16: A heartbreaking story, as is a mother who was out
Speaker 16: along the Saint John's River in Lusia County over the
Speaker 16: weekend on Saturday.
Speaker 7: Her four year old dropped a toy.
Speaker 16: Or something into the river and then ended up going
Speaker 16: over like a kind of like a wooden barrier and
Speaker 16: fell into the water. And so the mother immediately gets
Speaker 16: into the water to save him. And you know, the
Speaker 16: Saint John's River is this is a significant body of water, right,
Speaker 16: So then the somebody called the attention of a nearby boater.
Speaker 16: The boater came over and threw some life preservers. The
Speaker 16: mother was meanwhile holding the four year old over her
Speaker 16: head and she was taking in water but trying to
Speaker 16: keep the four year old above the water the rescue
Speaker 16: boat could come over. They did come over and manage
Speaker 16: to get both of them. However, the mom did not
Speaker 16: survive six So we're doing a follow up story on
Speaker 16: that today. They've started to GoFundMe so that the children
Speaker 16: can be taken care of. She thankfully does have an
Speaker 16: older daughter who is able to take care of the
Speaker 16: younger siblings.
Speaker 1: Six kids.
Speaker 7: You said six, geez was fours. It's just one of
Speaker 7: those stories that just is absolutely heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, a little heroic moment on her part
Speaker 1: to jump in obviously after her kid, and then you know,
Speaker 1: unfortunately she doesn't make it out. But it's a tough one.
Speaker 1: A lot of people were saying that they saw that
Speaker 1: story this morning. Uh, and uh, you know, you got
Speaker 1: to feel for the family obviously.
Speaker 3: What else is on your radar today?
Speaker 16: Amy, We've got another launch tomorrow because this storm is
Speaker 16: moving the other direction, that launch should go up, okay,
Speaker 16: and then Starship will be trying.
Speaker 7: Again this week.
Speaker 16: And you guys, there's a lot of talk about Starship
Speaker 16: because Starship right now is launching in Bocachica, Texas. But
Speaker 16: this will eventually be coming to the Space Coast. In fact,
Speaker 16: they think maybe by the end of this year. So
Speaker 16: a lot of people who live in Brevard County have concerns.
Speaker 16: Right this is a massive rocket, is the largest rocket ever.
Speaker 7: Made, and so you know, people.
Speaker 16: Just I think just naturally, you know, people are wanting
Speaker 16: to make sure that it's safe and that they feel
Speaker 16: safe living there having a rocket of this magnitude, you know,
Speaker 16: blasting off. It's not going to be blasting off like
Speaker 16: these Falcon Nines are all the time, you know what
Speaker 16: I mean.
Speaker 1: But are worried about rockets going off, like we've been
Speaker 1: living with this for a little a while now.
Speaker 16: Well, no, so in Boca Chica where this rocket is
Speaker 16: currently taking off in Texas, it's in a very isolated place.
Speaker 16: But you know, over on the Space Coast it's very populated.
Speaker 16: So when they eventually move the starship from Texas to Florida,
Speaker 16: there are people on the Space Coaster who, you know,
Speaker 16: are concerned about the massive size of this rocket because
Speaker 16: it's the biggest, biggest ever.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, so we'll see, We'll see what happens.
Speaker 16: I think that by the time it gets here, hopefully
Speaker 16: they have checked off all the safety. But shoot, you guys,
Speaker 16: we just saw that new Glen rocket explode during a
Speaker 16: test fire and that was just a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Really stupid question. How would they get it here? But
Speaker 1: they have to just to dissemble the whole thing.
Speaker 16: No, so they have multiple so they are Basically, the
Speaker 16: infrastructure is already here in Florida, and so basically they
Speaker 16: have you know, the way they structure these rockets or
Speaker 16: build these rockets, they already have multiple parts and pieces,
Speaker 16: you guys, have you guys remember this starship has actually
Speaker 16: blown up multiple times over the Caribbean.
Speaker 1: Back when it was Jefferson starship.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's you feeling back when it was Jefferson. That
Speaker 7: was a classic.
Speaker 1: By the way, No, don't Amy, don't go along with
Speaker 1: him on these things. Please just leave people do this
Speaker 1: to me all the time. Just please just leave them
Speaker 1: in my life. Both actively campaigned for people not to
Speaker 1: laugh at me. He made a John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
Speaker 1: joke last week and it's still I have not gotten hasted.
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 7: Made a really corny dad joke.
Speaker 16: This morning, I said, let us talk about the this, this,
Speaker 16: let us Oh my gosh, you guys look about you.
Speaker 7: But I am so scared to buy let us right now,
Speaker 7: and it's terrible. I have let us fear.
Speaker 1: Let us.
Speaker 7: This morning, I was like, let us talk more about
Speaker 7: it means going around.
Speaker 1: You know what the brutal thing is, here's the brutal thing.
Speaker 1: So the FDA comes out, all right, I'll get you,
Speaker 1: I'll get you some conspiracy fodder here for just a moment.
Speaker 3: The FDA comes.
Speaker 1: Out and they say, we found the source of this
Speaker 1: cyclospora that's causing excuse me, but explosive diarrhea and a
Speaker 1: big portion of Americans lives, right, And the FDA goes,
Speaker 1: it's coming from Taco Bell, which poor Taco Bell has
Speaker 1: led to like eight billion jokes for for the Taco
Speaker 1: Bell world to do. No, no, no, no, there's about
Speaker 1: three jokes. They're just totally billion times. You're right, you're right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the same joke over and over and over and over
Speaker 1: and over for the for the Taco Bell folks, right,
Speaker 1: And the FDA is like, yep, Taco Bell. Well, and
Speaker 1: something called Tailor Farms is responsible for this unbelievable you're
Speaker 1: making everybody sick.
Speaker 3: How could you do this?
Speaker 1: And then today I see Tailor Farms, the group that
Speaker 1: the FDA blamed for this whole outbreak of cyclospora, and
Speaker 1: the Tailor Farms people said today the FDA apologized to us. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: FDA informed Tailor Fresh Foods that one of its iceberg
Speaker 1: lettuce products from Central Mexico had to confirm positive tests
Speaker 1: for this cyclospora. Today we were informed that the FDA
Speaker 1: made a mistake, that it was a false positive. To
Speaker 1: be clear, at this moment, the FDA has not identified
Speaker 1: a single positive product test result for cyclospora. Acting on
Speaker 1: initial information provided by health officials and an abundance of caution,
Speaker 1: we completed a voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce from Central Mexico.
Speaker 1: And so they said, the FDA goes, whoops, sorry, our
Speaker 1: test was wrong. We got that one wrong. We didn't
Speaker 1: actually test positive. Now think about this for a second.
Speaker 1: This tailor Fresh Foods was accused of surveying up lettuce
Speaker 1: that had cyclospore and it was giving people explosive diarrhea.
Speaker 1: Taco Bell was accused of serving up this stuff. They
Speaker 1: started to interview the people and most of them were like, no,
Speaker 1: we never ate a Taco Bell. And they said, now
Speaker 1: we're pretty sure, no, no, we didn't. We never ate
Speaker 1: a Taco Bell. The people were saying, we didn't need there,
Speaker 1: so we don't know if it was Taco Bell. We
Speaker 1: don't know if it was Taylor Farms. And then the
Speaker 1: conspiracy twist on this apparently is the CEO of Taylor
Speaker 1: Farms was a big donor at one point in time,
Speaker 1: donating over a million dollars to the Trump administration, And
Speaker 1: now it's like, did the money that was paid over
Speaker 1: get paid back in the form of Oh, no, it
Speaker 1: definitely didn't come from them.
Speaker 3: I don't know what to believe anymore.
Speaker 7: No, it's a mess.
Speaker 16: And you guys and I think that this is a problem.
Speaker 16: Like it's good and bad. Right, it's like, okay, oh,
Speaker 16: we finally know what's going on. Okay, great. So if
Speaker 16: it wasn't Taylor Farms, it wasn't coming from Taco Bell,
Speaker 16: where was it coming from? And if we still don't know,
Speaker 16: that is why people are like, uh, And it made
Speaker 16: me not just paranoid about buying lettuce of any kind, now,
Speaker 16: it's made me paranoid about like, like everything in my
Speaker 16: fridge that's like producing, yeah, washing my blueberries.
Speaker 7: To the point that there was like no skin left on.
Speaker 1: Them, right, same, yeah, yeah. And it's weird that you go, Okay,
Speaker 1: so people all over the place are getting sick.
Speaker 3: It's not good.
Speaker 1: It like really really affects you and and feels bad.
Speaker 1: This is not like, oh, there's some virus spreading. This
Speaker 1: is like, Hey, you're gonna have cramps and you're not
Speaker 1: gonna be able to move for a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Some people go to the hospital because they feel so bad.
Speaker 1: But we have no idea at this point in time
Speaker 1: where it's coming from. What farm led to this people
Speaker 1: getting this round of cyclists or up, We don't know.
Speaker 1: You don't know at all. And then last week, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm we're talking about it so much that I just
Speaker 1: get a little bit of rumble in the tummy. And
Speaker 1: now I'm just worried. Now I'm paranoid. I know, paranoid
Speaker 1: that my body is going to manifest.
Speaker 3: The body will manifest.
Speaker 1: It's a very powerful thing, the brain, and they'll just
Speaker 1: create the symptoms out of thin air.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now I'm screwed the.
Speaker 1: Same I've been playing a little game called whiskey or produce. See, like,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what has gotten time.
Speaker 16: I'm not remember the scene from stand by Me the
Speaker 16: pie eating contest, Remember, yeah, remember that scene where the
Speaker 16: one guy starts getting sick from the.
Speaker 1: Hot and then yeah, right, and.
Speaker 16: Some people are like that, they just have to watch
Speaker 16: someone else get sick and they get sick.
Speaker 1: My theory on this amy I don't know if you, uh,
Speaker 1: if you buy into this or not. This is not
Speaker 1: like the conspiracy theory about political donations FDA that My
Speaker 1: theory is. I think you can take the amount of
Speaker 1: people that they believe have gotten this cyclospora and you
Speaker 1: could put at least one zero on the end, because
Speaker 1: I think some people, even if they have it, are
Speaker 1: too embarrassed. Like you wouldn't want to tell your friend, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I've been dealing with cyclospora all week.
Speaker 3: That's kind of embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be me, guys, you would.
Speaker 7: Know, absolutely right, I would tell you. Would you just
Speaker 7: attribute to something else?
Speaker 16: Sean, Like you're just like, oh, it's from the you
Speaker 16: know that burger I had whatever?
Speaker 7: You're so right. I think the numbers are exponentially higher.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think people are a little embarrassed. But there
Speaker 3: you go.
Speaker 1: Anything else on your radar today, Amy, that's all right.
Speaker 1: We're gonna we get to see you in less than
Speaker 1: a month. We do.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 7: I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Amy is playing in the poker tournament this year.
Speaker 7: Oh, I have a chance of winning? Please?
Speaker 1: Yeah? My table would be a good spots over then.
Speaker 1: I'm easy when you're knocking me right out. No, I'm
Speaker 1: terrible at this stuff every single year. I think you out.
Speaker 3: Lasted last year.
Speaker 1: I am that last time. You know, you know what
Speaker 1: happened at my table? Like I come into the poker tournament,
Speaker 1: celebrity poker tournament. I sit down and a couple people
Speaker 1: are like, oh my god, the news junk.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, yeah, here I am.
Speaker 10: Uh.

Speaker 1: And then the one guy right next to me goes, oh,
Speaker 1: that would have been awesome to be at Amy Kawfeld's table.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, we were right next to me.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, it's so awesome to even just be
Speaker 1: anywhere near Amy Cawfeelt's table.
Speaker 16: Jesus, buddy, that's what the people in mind table we're
Speaker 16: saying about you.
Speaker 7: God, your table, you definitely beat me out.
Speaker 1: I well, be careful avoid all that produce and the
Speaker 1: lettuce and all of that good stuff. And if you
Speaker 1: if somebody, if somebody encounters you, and that person that
Speaker 1: encounters you gets a little rude this week, just one slap,
Speaker 1: just one big slap like that, you'll feel good. I
Speaker 1: think I think it'll help out all right. There she
Speaker 1: is Amy Kufel Yes, she is unbelievable. She's the best,
Speaker 1: and you need to follow her on every social platform
Speaker 1: you could possibly dream up. Search for Amy Kufeld, search
Speaker 1: for Fox thirty five. Make sure you're watching every single

Speaker 1: Amy kauf Felt and She's and me and Sea Lan
Speaker 1: are all wishing that nobody gets sick with that cyclosport
Speaker 1: this week. It does not seem fun quick break when
Speaker 1: we come back. There's been a massive argument playing out
Speaker 1: online that I want to tap into. We got to
Speaker 1: pick a side on the way at some point in time.
Speaker 1: More about Bertha and a whole lot more. It's coming
Speaker 1: up next in the news.
Speaker 17: Junkie Till and how I changed my feet?
Speaker 18: Was it here?
Speaker 3: But dah there we go?
Speaker 1: No? No, all right, yeah, I want to see you
Speaker 1: on my feet. I want to see you see like
Speaker 1: I can't see your beautiful fat I'm hiding. Oh there
Speaker 1: you are. I wasn't hiding on is it the cyclospora?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're hiding A little bit that does happen.
Speaker 1: I'll get into that just a moment, but I had
Speaker 1: a couple of things I wanted to run by you.
Speaker 1: After Spain won the World Cup. Spain wins, beats Argentina,
Speaker 1: The World Cup huge success. They compared it to like
Speaker 1: twenty three Super Bowls, a lot of balls. Super Bowls
Speaker 1: made money. People were excited. It made people realize America
Speaker 1: isn't this crap fest that their media tells them it is,
Speaker 1: and that we're just a country full of people doing
Speaker 1: some pretty cool stuff over here. Forgive us for shoehorning
Speaker 1: a super Bowl halftime show into their World Cup. They
Speaker 1: they maybe I don't know if they liked it or not.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that went over well, but we'll
Speaker 1: find out. They did make a ton of money. FIFA
Speaker 1: is announcing that they made fifteen billion dollars with a
Speaker 1: bee a capital B fifteen billion dollars in revenues this
Speaker 1: summer's a World Cup, significantly exceeding the targets set before
Speaker 1: the tournament. The FIFA member associations were informed of the
Speaker 1: boost and income by Gianni Inventino on Saturday. They projected
Speaker 1: a lot wasted, no time wasted, no time in celebrating
Speaker 1: that by paycheck.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're all making money.
Speaker 1: You know what. I even heard the Women's World Cup
Speaker 1: Soccer team makes money off of the men's World Cup
Speaker 1: Soccer team winning their piece of the prize pool, which
Speaker 1: is crazy, but that like, that's whatever arrangement they have
Speaker 1: going on. There's a lot of money to go around.
Speaker 1: Fifteen billion dollars. They expected about eleven billion or so,
Speaker 1: but they're just printing money over there. And the craziest
Speaker 1: thing that I heard was Calshi. This is one of
Speaker 1: the prediction markets things. I'm always talking about people who
Speaker 1: are cheating on these prediction markets, and Calshi's one of
Speaker 1: the big ones out there. They said one point two
Speaker 1: billion dollars was bet on the World Cup final. One
Speaker 1: point two billion dollars. That's unbelievable. This is not even
Speaker 1: like a real betting house. It's like a predictions market
Speaker 1: in this weird loophole territory and a billion dollars was
Speaker 1: bet on the outcome of the World Cup game. They
Speaker 1: brought in over a three million new users over the
Speaker 1: core course of the World Cup tournament. And they're they're
Speaker 1: investigating some of the bets that were put on the
Speaker 1: halftime show. They said, Fozzy Bear and just Cash cashed
Speaker 1: in this millions betting on some of the things that
Speaker 1: would happen. Did you did you notice the the children's
Speaker 1: choir in the in the halftime show? No, I don't
Speaker 1: think I saw them. I saw him. I was looking
Speaker 1: and I was like, I saw their jerseys. I looked
Speaker 1: close at it, and I was like, oh, that's that
Speaker 1: Elementary Schools two in Staten Island that has been like
Speaker 1: their chorus has routinely been viral over the last I
Speaker 1: don't know, decade or more.
Speaker 3: These little kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're allbviously because it's an elementary school choir.
Speaker 1: The kids have you know, rotated out of grown out
Speaker 1: of being in it. But that particular choir, for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: has held onto this small amount of fame in the
Speaker 1: music world. You will you will recognize them from being
Speaker 1: the kids singing in the background of Little Secrets by
Speaker 1: Passion Pit. Oh, no way, that's w he did that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's like, it's it's that they've
Speaker 1: been we gotta get.
Speaker 3: Them to sing in the background or something for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stevie Nicks had them sing with with her at
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden. They've done stories about them on Nightline.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just they have a Wikipedia page that
Speaker 1: is long. It's very long. Are they making any money
Speaker 1: off of this or is this just some adult that's
Speaker 1: pulling in all the fun. It probably goes to the school,
Speaker 1: you know, it probably, I'm sure the I mean the
Speaker 1: school in Staten Island. It probably goes to you know,
Speaker 1: funding their trips to other places and for other years.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, yeah, yeah, all right, well
Speaker 1: we'll see. I also got somebody had sent me in.
Speaker 1: A couple of people actually sent in the email of
Speaker 1: Robbie Williams, who was on during some of the will
Speaker 1: Us stuff. He was in the opening ceremonies. He was
Speaker 1: he did one of the first songs and he looked different,
Speaker 1: like I didn't know who was on the screen until
Speaker 1: the Chiron came on and said Robbie and I was like, what, yeah,
Speaker 1: he does. And then people said that cocaine fell out
Speaker 1: of his nose and then landed on the mic and
Speaker 1: he picked it up. Okay, there's no way that. I
Speaker 1: think if you watch closely you could see it spit
Speaker 1: out of his mouth, but it did look like a
Speaker 1: just a drop of cocaine his nose and ended up
Speaker 1: on the microphone.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to see is it there, No, it's not
Speaker 3: there yet. Mouth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it came from his mouth, but everybody
Speaker 1: thought it just dropped out of his nose hole and
Speaker 1: then popped onto the microphone and he's like oh, and
Speaker 1: he throws it away really quickly, and people noticed that
Speaker 1: on live TV as well. Then there was talk of
Speaker 1: whether or not Trump was booed when he came out,
Speaker 1: because Trump was at the World Cup Final two. Let's see,
Speaker 1: we'll listen to that and see if this was some
Speaker 1: heavy booing or not. All right, the presidents of.
Speaker 7: The United States on the field.
Speaker 1: Hard to tell.
Speaker 18: Longside Jenny and Fantino Olfa.
Speaker 1: This sounds very split. Yeah, I mean there's definitely boos
Speaker 1: in there. It's noise, so, I mean, I'm sure there's
Speaker 1: like a little bit of each. Maybe this other clip
Speaker 1: is a little easier to hear. I'm not sure. Here's
Speaker 1: another one. This is oh, this is the anthem right. Oh.
Speaker 1: That barrier they put in front of the president too,
Speaker 1: was very very hard for television. Bulletproof like bulletproof glass
Speaker 1: they put up in front of them. I'm sure that's
Speaker 1: what it was, but it just did not gel well
Speaker 1: with the cameras at all. This stuff is so thick.
Speaker 1: You compare see the Trump family through it and some
Speaker 1: of the other folks who are watching this VIP section
Speaker 1: of the World Cup. They got that stuff because everybody's
Speaker 1: been popping off shots at him. But it does it
Speaker 1: kind of messes up the visual.
Speaker 3: A little bit. I guess you have to sacrifice. That's
Speaker 3: how it goes.
Speaker 1: Eighty thousand fans out there for the World Cup and
Speaker 1: made a lot of money. Spain wasn't the only winner.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of people making money off that.
Speaker 1: The biggest winner they seem to do quite well. And
Speaker 1: what's his name? Who's the biggest soccer player? Dude, I'm
Speaker 1: so bad at this. I apologize. Messy, MESSI I saw.
Speaker 1: I was watching the commercials right after the game, and
Speaker 1: I kid you not, this really happened. There was a
Speaker 1: commercial that popped up and I think it was Low's
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh my god, you're messy, and
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, yes.
Speaker 3: I am messy. I am the sucker player. Everybody loves me.
Speaker 1: World Cup and he's walking through the aisles of a
Speaker 1: Low's and he's hanging out there and oh my god,
Speaker 1: I got the commercial ends in the go go to
Speaker 1: Low's for great deals to fix your house. Next commercial
Speaker 1: pops off and it's michelob Light and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm messy here from michelob Light and he's taking a
Speaker 1: sip of the beer and MESSI he's very good at soccer.
Speaker 1: I'm drinking the michelob Light. And the next commercial came up.
Speaker 1: Three commercials in a row all right here at the
Speaker 1: radio station. They won't let us put commercials together generally
Speaker 1: that are voiced by the same talent. Not to MESSI
Speaker 1: had three commercials in a row in a row that
Speaker 1: he had. Was it not MESSI? Was it the other guy?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Somebody's saying he refuses to do so.
Speaker 1: Oh he refused to speak English and commercials he might
Speaker 1: not have spoke.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just saw him three times in a row up
Speaker 1: on the commercial. And this guy is raking in the money.
Speaker 1: Everybody was apparently at the World Cup except for me
Speaker 1: and seland we didn't get anything. We didn't get paid out. Fortunately,
Speaker 1: it's brutal. It's absolutely brutal. I want to do this
Speaker 1: story out of Chicago about the guy the only man
Speaker 1: brave enough to admit that he had cyclospora, and this
Speaker 1: guy like went on television in Chicago and explained all
Speaker 1: that was going on here. We'll do it in a
Speaker 1: little bit because it's a really interesting story and boy
Speaker 1: did he have a time.
Speaker 3: We're going to take a quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we will obviously get to the
Speaker 1: hot sheet. We'll get to your feedback. Lots of dispatches
Speaker 1: coming in. I told people to do rate my blank
Speaker 1: or to keep this going for the whole week. I
Speaker 1: want to see your magnet collection, your magnets from the
Speaker 1: news Junkie. I want to see you with a news
Speaker 1: junkie magnet in the most amazing place. And whatever one
Speaker 1: we think is the best out of all the photos
Speaker 1: that come in this week, we will make that person
Speaker 1: a winner of Rate by a blank. Right, So we
Speaker 1: have that and so much more. It's coming up next
Speaker 1: than the News Junkie. At the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: I've got to pick a side from my own neighborhood, okay,
Speaker 1: and I cannot wait to share this story with you. Guys,
Speaker 1: this is maybe one of the most explosive things I've
Speaker 1: seen in a while. And I've been trying to get
Speaker 1: all the different people involved in this, possibly even on
Speaker 1: the show. I don't know how this is gonna go,
Speaker 1: but we'll see how it works out. We'll get into
Speaker 1: that just a bit. Right now, let's do the Hot
Speaker 1: Sheets sheet. It's in new news, but not like real
Speaker 1: important news. That's again Ay parting on the Planet book.
Speaker 3: Top stories from the people on your screens.
Speaker 1: Men's speakers are.
Speaker 3: On the Hot Sheet with Sea Lane.
Speaker 1: That's right, the top five stories of the nonsense news,
Speaker 1: brought to you by that mortgage guy Don And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we saw during the FIFA World Cup there
Speaker 1: was an there was a question on a lot of
Speaker 1: people's minds that was kind of awkward and kind of weird,
Speaker 1: and that was is Tom Cruise there?
Speaker 10: Ye?
Speaker 1: Why does he have a movie coming out? He does?
Speaker 1: He has, and I I've seen the trailer for it.
Speaker 1: It looks like it actually could be pretty interesting, and
Speaker 1: I think it's more of like a comedy action than
Speaker 1: your normal Tom Cruise action drama. But he's he's been
Speaker 1: plugging his movie Digger, so he was all over the
Speaker 1: FIFA World Cup coverage, but like whenever Tom Cruise shows
Speaker 1: up like that, and they gave him a mic and
Speaker 1: he made a little speech. I didn't listen to it,
Speaker 1: but I saw it. I saw it going down, and
Speaker 1: I thought, this reminds me of going back to the
Speaker 1: movie theater to watch The Top Gun Maverick. And then
Speaker 1: they had this weird address from Tom Cruise at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the movie before they start the movie. It
Speaker 1: was just him sitting in a chair going, Hey, it's
Speaker 1: me Tom Cruise, thank you for coming back to the movie.
Speaker 1: And he's just like, okay, like we need you know,
Speaker 1: cinema goers like you, or what fuel this industry and.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: A lot of times, Mom, Cruise does these things, and
Speaker 1: you go, I don't know why I hate this, but
Speaker 1: I for some reason hate this, Like there's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with him doing that little message, but there's also something
Speaker 1: slightly annoying about it for some reason. And then you're
Speaker 1: worried he's talking to Elmo and you're worried that he's
Speaker 1: gonna win him over to the world of scientology or something.
Speaker 3: I never know what's going to happen well.
Speaker 1: In other news of somewhat awkward but interesting shoehorned movie advertising,
Speaker 1: Limp Biscuit were joined on stage by various members of
Speaker 1: the cast of Supertroopers over the weekend. All Right, the
Speaker 1: New Metal Icon set was invaded by members of the
Speaker 1: Broken Lizard comedy troop, all appearing in character for a
Speaker 1: set closing performance of Break Stuff. Both the band and
Speaker 1: the cast played up the pairings. The Supertroopers barged on
Speaker 1: stage too, initially enforce a noise complaint against Limb Biscuit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the guys just showed up in their cop gear
Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, hey, it's getting too loud here now.
Speaker 1: And then it was just doing super Trooper stuff. And
Speaker 1: it was because on August seventh, they're opening the third
Speaker 1: film and the Supertroopers franchise and Biscuits participation. I love
Speaker 1: that they keep calling him Biscuit, like you know when
Speaker 1: you refer to somebody by their last name. They're like,
Speaker 1: Biscuits participation in the aforementioned festival has a story of
Speaker 1: its own, and then they go into the few that
Speaker 1: they had with Creed and all that. But yeah, if
Speaker 1: you were watching Limp biscuit at a festival over the weekend,
Speaker 1: you may have been treated to a viral slash not
Speaker 1: so viral shoehorned. I mean, yeah, it is kind of
Speaker 1: fun if you're a fan of Supertroopers, which I had
Speaker 1: a lot of friends in school that loved those movies.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I thought they were good. Jim Parsons of
Speaker 1: Big Bang Theory fame said he would never do that again.
Speaker 1: You mean make one hundred million dollars whatever people made
Speaker 1: on that show. Yeah, it does sound weird, but Jim
Speaker 1: Jim Parsons are recently told All Out with John that
Speaker 1: he was miserable during the height of his long running
Speaker 1: TBS sitcom. So was my roommate because he hated that
Speaker 1: guy's voice. If we were watching something and Big Bang
Speaker 1: came out afterwards, he's like, turn it off. I can't
Speaker 1: see this guy. He's right, he does have an annoying voice.
Speaker 1: There is something about that. But those people made, they
Speaker 1: may have made more money than the friends people. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's possible, but they tried. He said,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that again, and for any amount of money.
Speaker 1: I look back now and we realized there were many
Speaker 1: ways at some of the best moments of my life.
Speaker 1: I was miserable. I was not happy. I was stressed.
Speaker 1: I felt there were so many plates I was supposed
Speaker 1: to be keeping in the air, and the success and
Speaker 1: the good things of life were happening only to this
Speaker 1: overworking discipline whatever. Maybe to a degree that was true,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't say, because that's how I was.
Speaker 1: He says he would never return and do The Big
Speaker 1: Bang Theory over again, even for lots of lots of money,
Speaker 1: which I'm pretty sure he got anyway, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: those guys cleaned up in The Big Bang Theory. I
Speaker 1: never watched that show even one time, but it was
Speaker 1: so crazy to me how much of a runaway hit
Speaker 1: that was. Like there was a lot of people watching,
Speaker 1: so they all printed money. But I mean it kind
Speaker 1: of missed me with afterwards being like, I would have
Speaker 1: never done it if I have given the opportunity to
Speaker 1: come on. I think I've only watched it by accident.
Speaker 1: And I'm definitely definitely don't have any interest in Young Sheldon.
Speaker 1: Disney is not learning their lesson. It seems. It seems
Speaker 1: like they're like no, no, no, no, no, Everything's going great.
Speaker 1: We'll just keep doing this this being what do you
Speaker 1: think shown?
Speaker 3: Everything's going great, We'll keep doing this.
Speaker 1: We'll keep doing this thing that we've been doing live
Speaker 1: action remakes Bingo Bingo because m O White and Moana
Speaker 1: were such big hits. Emmy winner and Oscar Nomini Coleman
Speaker 1: Domingo and director Robert O'Hara are in talks to write
Speaker 1: a live action film about Princess Tiana from Disney's The
Speaker 1: Princess and the Frog. Now, I think they did say
Speaker 1: for this one, it's not going to be Princess and
Speaker 1: the Frog specifically, like exactly, but they're still going with
Speaker 1: the live action thing again on the heels of Moana
Speaker 1: just kind of yeah, flopping at the box office. You
Speaker 1: know why. That's always funny to me because this is
Speaker 1: dumb Disney stuff. But the Princess Tiana thing is kind
Speaker 1: of funny because if you watch that movie, Princess Tiana
Speaker 1: is only in the movie for like a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: She's a frog the whole time. So this is basically
Speaker 1: a spinoff, right, yeah, Like she's an animal, Like they're
Speaker 1: not focusing on that character, so this probably is an
Speaker 1: attempt to like build that character out more well. The project,
Speaker 1: which is in the very early stages at the studio,
Speaker 1: is an original idea inspired by two thousand and nine
Speaker 1: animated classic The musical fairy Tale, set in nineteen twenties
Speaker 1: New Orleans, centers on Tiana, the waitress with dreams to
Speaker 1: become a restaurant owner who is set on a jury
Speaker 1: journey to turn a frog back into a human, only
Speaker 1: to face the same problem after she kisses him. And yep,
Speaker 1: they're going to do another live action thing and probably
Speaker 1: keep throwing that out there, maybe in Conto's next We'll see.
Speaker 3: There was a there was a lot of talk.
Speaker 1: Do you remember watching the old first live action speaking
Speaker 1: of live action movies, the Scooby Doo movie. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was with Matthew Lillard. Yes, Matthew Lillard played Shaggy. They
Speaker 1: famously said he to try and do the Shaggy voice.
Speaker 1: He would just scream before takes to get that kind
Speaker 1: of weird thing, and he just gave himself laryngitis, like
Speaker 1: trying to make this movie. But Matthew Lillard, this was
Speaker 1: such a time capsule. Freddy Prince Junior, Sarah Michelle Geller,
Speaker 1: and Linda Cardelini back in the live action Scooby movie,
Speaker 1: and I guess there was a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: they cut out of that movie, like now we're getting
Speaker 1: more scenes making out There was really confirmed during a
Speaker 1: recent visit on Watch What Happens Live. The two thousand
Speaker 1: and two is live action Scooby Doo movie shot and
Speaker 1: cut a steamy kiss between Daphney played by Sarah Michelle Geller,
Speaker 1: and Linda Cardolini's Velma. Now, there's been talked about Velma
Speaker 1: being gay for a long time, and I think in
Speaker 1: the new series Velma is gay. But there was a
Speaker 1: lot more stuff that got cut out of this movie.
Speaker 1: And I think the funniest thing I read. Sarah Michelle
Speaker 1: Geller said there was a great line too that I'll
Speaker 1: never forget. Daphne and Fred were having a fight and
Speaker 1: I yell at him that ascot makes you look gay,
Speaker 1: and then I slammed the door at him, and they
Speaker 1: cut that too. She said they should have kept that
Speaker 1: in there. She said, I think that was the reason
Speaker 1: I signed on to the movie, and it's something everyone's
Speaker 1: thought for a long time. There's always been an implication
Speaker 1: about Fred being a little interested in both parties. But
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and two, they were cutting a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff like that. And finally, this is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite story. Fred is interested in traps really,
Speaker 1: but real quick, TJ chat E Freshrock says, a live
Speaker 1: action toy story is in the works for sure. Could
Speaker 1: you imagine that's ridiculous? A live action toy story would
Speaker 1: only be good if it were a horror film, if
Speaker 1: it were reimagined as some sort of actual scary, thrilling
Speaker 1: horror film. The only way I could see that going down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But my favorite story from over the weekend, because everybody's
Speaker 1: talking about the Christopher Nolan. They're talking about The Odyssey
Speaker 1: making a quarter of a billion dollars in the first
Speaker 1: weekend globally, and Christopher Nolan told this story about it.
Speaker 1: I guess he was writing The Odyssey and he did
Speaker 1: this weird thing where he doesn't want to be distracted
Speaker 1: or intimidated by his own oscars, so he puts them away. Okay,
Speaker 1: be like, oh, you know, I'm just working on my masterpiece.
Speaker 1: Let me put all my awards away so I'm not
Speaker 1: a problem to have, so I'm not pressured, right, And
Speaker 1: so he's talking about this and he said, well, my
Speaker 1: son walked into the office and he's got he's got
Speaker 1: a couple of sons. I didn't say which one, so
Speaker 1: I don't know how old this kid is, but but
Speaker 1: you know, young adult age here. We're talking eighteen to twenties, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my son walked into my office while I was writing
Speaker 1: on The Odyssey and said, where are your oscars, explaining
Speaker 1: his son had been away during the Academy award wins
Speaker 1: for Oppenheimer, so he wanted to see them, and he said.
Speaker 1: I told my son I kept the awards out of
Speaker 1: my view to minimize the pressure while writing, you know,
Speaker 1: the Odyssey and adapting this epic poem for the big screen.
Speaker 1: I said, I'm trying to write a new project and
Speaker 1: if I've got of oscars sitting there on the shelf,
Speaker 1: think about how daunting that'd be. And the kid immediately
Speaker 1: piped back, but you didn't win for writing so but
Speaker 1: hilarious and I mean, quick, quick, comeback from the kid.
Speaker 1: But Christopher Nolan having a big weekend with The Odyssey
Speaker 1: at the box office. Hey, if you have a mortgage
Speaker 1: rate with a seven or eight in front of it,
Speaker 1: it's time to start checking into a refinance immediately or
Speaker 1: you're paying too much, and that mortgage guy Don is
Speaker 1: back this week not only to save you money, but
Speaker 1: to whoop our asses and Fritz on the street once more.
Speaker 1: When we figure out, I'll find out how his trip went.
Speaker 1: The guy was in Alaska, he went on his first cruise.
Speaker 1: We'll hear from him later this week. But if you
Speaker 1: need to save some money on that mortgage, you should
Speaker 1: hear from him today and you could reach out to
Speaker 1: him at that mortgage Guy Dawn dot com. Thank you, Selin.
Speaker 1: What'll we come back? I have a pick aside from
Speaker 1: my very own neighborhood and this is insane. Okay, good

Speaker 1: there's extra stories and it's just rolling on all the time.
Speaker 1: But you can watch what I'm about to tell you,
Speaker 1: and this is a story from my own neighborhood, a
Speaker 1: pick aside, and it's insane. Okay, stand by that's coming
Speaker 1: up next on the News Junkie. I've got some very
Speaker 1: juicy drama from my own neighborhood to spill with you
Speaker 1: folks in a second. But I do want to remind
Speaker 1: you quick reminder, keep your ears peeled for those keywords.
Speaker 1: You hear those keywords during the show, even if you're
Speaker 1: watching over on YouTube. You hear the keyword, you can
Speaker 1: participate and win a thousand dollars. It's really easy. And
Speaker 1: the more time that goes by, the less people think

Speaker 1: it's like a really good shot for you to make
Speaker 1: some money. Just listen for the keywords and participate. Are
Speaker 1: here we go a ceiling. Embrace yourself for this. I
Speaker 1: don't think I sent this to you this weekend, did I?
Speaker 1: Oh god? Okay, all right, we have a pick a
Speaker 1: side I need to I need you to send that
Speaker 1: to me at some point in time.
Speaker 3: I keep taking about.
Speaker 6: Wants to pick aside who are going on a rid?
Speaker 1: This is unbelievable. I saw this in my very own neighborhood.
Speaker 1: We have to walk through this together, all right. There's
Speaker 1: a woman who has a neighbor who is full on
Speaker 1: going to war with her in my neighborhood. And I'll
Speaker 1: give you an example. Here's one of the signs outside
Speaker 1: of her outside of the neighbor's house show this, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: It says warning, I shoot first, ask questions later. That's
Speaker 1: a sign you could just buy from the store, right.
Speaker 1: But on the bottom of it it says lying bitch.
Speaker 1: Like the person printed out a piece of paper and
Speaker 1: it just says lying bitch below this. Does this mean
Speaker 1: they're lying about shooting first and asking questions later, or
Speaker 1: they're just calling the person who shoots first and ask
Speaker 1: questions later a lying bitch?
Speaker 3: Overall, the second option sea line.
Speaker 1: The second option this and I'll give you the story
Speaker 1: of what's going on behind the scenes. This is wild,
Speaker 1: the drama going on in this neighborhood. I was messaging
Speaker 1: with the lady last night. In fact, I'll try to
Speaker 1: drum up a call with her. I'll message her and say, hey,
Speaker 1: give me your number. I'll give you a call so
Speaker 1: we could hear her story, because she said this has
Speaker 1: been really, really rough for her. I'll give you the
Speaker 1: first paragraph before I show you the unbelievable footage from
Speaker 1: her neighbor's yard. But Powella says, for months, my family
Speaker 1: has experienced ongoing harassment from a neighbor. This all began
Speaker 1: after I installed a fence on my own property. What
Speaker 1: started as a disagreement has continued to escalate into repeated
Speaker 1: incidents that have affected my family's safety, privacy, and ability
Speaker 1: to peacefully enjoy our home. Here we go. So here
Speaker 1: is here's some of the footage. I'll mute this just
Speaker 1: in case, I know, maybe it's fine to play the
Speaker 1: audio will say, all right.
Speaker 3: So this is the neighbor's house.
Speaker 1: You can see the neighbor has massive signs all over
Speaker 1: the front yard and it says the Karen of the
Speaker 1: century or something probably yeah, neighborhood.
Speaker 3: Karen of the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Then there's another big sign that says, revenge is not
Speaker 1: my plans. You will f word yourselves all on your
Speaker 1: own on this sign. Worst neighbors ever, but damn good
Speaker 1: liars on this sign. Then they made a sign that's
Speaker 1: a giant arrow that says the Karen literally pointing to
Speaker 1: their neighbor's house that lives next door. This is the
Speaker 1: woman who's writing all of this right. Then here's some
Speaker 1: more signs. They are terrible examples for the Latino culture,
Speaker 1: says this son sign. Then here's the kicker, the big
Speaker 1: sign in the front yard says she took me to
Speaker 1: court seven nine twenty six and lost. Stupid line, b
Speaker 1: Is it because I didn't want to f you? And
Speaker 1: it says the F word on the on the sign.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you sensor, bitch?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 1: The craziest thing is this person doesn't just have massive,
Speaker 1: super offensive, over the top angry signs in the front yard.
Speaker 1: They have literal, massive arrows pointing toward the neighbor's house
Speaker 1: that they're in a fight with. Wow. Okay, so these
Speaker 1: people need a new hobby. This is an intense neighbor
Speaker 1: neighborhood fight, so terrible examples for Latino culture, worst neighbors ever.
Speaker 1: But damn good liars, she took me to court and loss?
Speaker 1: Stupid lying b Is it because I didn't want to fu?
Speaker 10: So?
Speaker 1: Like, I don't even know now now we're entering that
Speaker 1: into the equation. Revenge is none of my plans. And
Speaker 1: then the neighbor has just this regular little fence. There's
Speaker 1: nothing shocking about the neighbor's fence. The woman that was
Speaker 1: saying that all this is happening next to her, it
Speaker 1: all looks fairly normal, right, But the person living next
Speaker 1: to her one hundred percent hates her.
Speaker 3: Here's the story that she posted.
Speaker 1: She said, the incidents have included public signs directed towards us,
Speaker 1: offensive and degrading language, intimidation, and actions that have made
Speaker 1: my family feel targeted. I have documented these events with photographs, videos,
Speaker 1: and police reports. The neighbor has also installed a mirror
Speaker 1: behind his property that faces toward the era of my
Speaker 1: area of my back bedroom, which has caused me concern
Speaker 1: about my privacy, so he puts He put a mirror
Speaker 1: up showing into her room on one side of the house.
Speaker 1: On the side of his property facing my homie played
Speaker 1: a sign saying I shoot first and asked questions later,
Speaker 1: lying bitch, which I perceived as directed towards me and intimidating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say it's directed at you. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: say it's directed to you. Somebody says, where is code enforcement?
Speaker 1: Code enforcement?
Speaker 3: Be damned.
Speaker 1: Is any of this illegal or is it just free speech.
Speaker 1: Some of the language might be considered extreme, like because
Speaker 1: you could you could say that one of the ways
Speaker 1: they used the F word as sexual, there might be
Speaker 1: an argument for obscenity. However, just having the the the
Speaker 1: signs if you don't have an hoa in this neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Just having the signs out there with writing on them,
Speaker 1: be it crazy. I mean, that's the that's a first sign.
Speaker 1: Like if you have a sign in your yard that
Speaker 1: you hand wrote, it's crazy. And it always goes takes
Speaker 1: me back to my old neighbor that lived across from
Speaker 1: the house that you first went to, uh when we
Speaker 1: started the show, when we were doing fireworks in the backyard.
Speaker 1: That neighbor across the street is super anti Trump and
Speaker 1: has over the years had many many handmaiden signs in
Speaker 1: his front yard that were anti Trump, and it was
Speaker 1: just like, man, like I didn't vote for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: So it's like weird that like, like, but I don't
Speaker 1: want to be on your side. I got it. I
Speaker 1: don't want to like I don't want to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm with you.
Speaker 17: No.
Speaker 1: Oh no. The crazy thing is sea LED's all right
Speaker 1: about this. I'll bring it to a personal thing for us.
Speaker 1: Whenever we get feedback to the radio station, if somebody says, well,
Speaker 1: somebody sent you a gift, somebody sent you this. If
Speaker 1: somebody says, oh, someone mailed in a handwritten letter, everybody
Speaker 1: cracks their knuckles and go all right, here we go,
Speaker 1: like when you're handwriting notes on the front of your
Speaker 1: yard like this, the karen right here, the arrow says
Speaker 1: this is nasty. This as There are also incidents where
Speaker 1: I felt threatened. I was told to quote watch my
Speaker 1: baby very closely, which I perceived as a threat. On
Speaker 1: other occasions, threatening comments were made while a firearm was
Speaker 1: visibly present. Although law enforcement advised me that openly carrying
Speaker 1: a firearm may be legal, the combination of threatening comments
Speaker 1: and a visible firearm caused my family and me to
Speaker 1: fear for our safety. My family sought help through the
Speaker 1: law enforcement in the court system and code enforcement. Based
Speaker 1: on my experience, I've been told that some of the
Speaker 1: conduct is considered protected by free speech. So we have
Speaker 1: the freeze each neighbor with all the signs and the
Speaker 1: neighbor who apparently pissed this guy off with building a
Speaker 1: small little fence. Those are our two sides here. Despite
Speaker 1: reporting these incidents and providing documentation, the situation has continued
Speaker 1: and I've not received a resolution that allows my family
Speaker 1: to feel safe and peacefully enjoy our home. I'm sharing
Speaker 1: my experience not to attack anybody, but to raise awareness
Speaker 1: about the impact of ongoing neighbor harassment, intimidation, and bullying.
Speaker 3: I'll ask that to you.
Speaker 1: Do you agree that this is either harassment, intimidation, or bullying.
Speaker 1: I think this is definitely bullying. Harassment maybe, I think
Speaker 1: that the if it's true that they said you need
Speaker 1: to watch out for your baby, and they're saying things
Speaker 1: while displaying a gun, that would be intimidation for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would think pro I mean, I would think at
Speaker 1: the very least bullying. You know, you could say pulling
Speaker 1: is protected speech, that's fine. But I'm looking for an
Speaker 1: attorney who handles civil cases involving possible defamation, harassment, intimidation,
Speaker 1: emotional distress, interference with the peaceful enjoyment of my property.
Speaker 1: I have documentation, including photos, videos, police report in the
Speaker 1: timeline of events. So this person is reaching out and
Speaker 1: trying to get some feedback. So before we go further,
Speaker 1: because I'm going to try to get this lady on
Speaker 1: the show, I was messaging with her a bit. I'll
Speaker 1: try to ring her up at some point, either today
Speaker 1: or tomorrow or whatever.
Speaker 3: But what do we think is.
Speaker 1: It that neighbor is fine for them to do this
Speaker 1: because this is free speech. You're allowed to put these
Speaker 1: kind of messages even with because I don't want to
Speaker 1: f you and curse words on them in the yard.
Speaker 1: Or do you side with the neighbor who's dealing with
Speaker 1: all these signs pointing at them. Alien says physical threats
Speaker 1: are a crime. Let's see, could we take any of
Speaker 1: these as actually physical threats?
Speaker 17: Uh?
Speaker 1: Is it because I don't want f you? Damn good liars? Bad?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: Okay, revenge is not my in my plans.
Speaker 1: This says you will f yourselves all on your own,
Speaker 1: So that's not really a threat. Now to the side
Speaker 1: of the house. That one sign that first and asked
Speaker 1: questions later. Yeah, I shoot first and asked questions later,
Speaker 1: lying bitch that maybe that wouldn't be seen as a
Speaker 1: threat either. Otherwise there had been some lawsuits over that,
Speaker 1: I would imagine or just like police, the police probably
Speaker 1: would have had something to say about that particular sign.
Speaker 1: I think, like, once again, the threats that we've heard
Speaker 1: about are only described and not shown. I think the
Speaker 1: thing about their kid or if you kind of combine
Speaker 1: a threat like that with having the weapon there, if
Speaker 1: we're to believe what she says, then law enforcement would
Speaker 1: have something to say about that if what she's saying
Speaker 1: is true. Yeah, and also see aj Soup with a
Speaker 1: good point on twitch. Just because it's not illegal doesn't
Speaker 1: mean it's not wrong. Yeah. Pick a side is not
Speaker 1: solely about what you can do legally or not do legally.
Speaker 1: Who do you think is We've definitely picked a side
Speaker 1: of somebody who was breaking the law, yes, in the past,
Speaker 1: and in this case, I'm gonna say, I don't care
Speaker 1: what's going on, what beef you have with your neighbors,
Speaker 1: it's not worth this. Whatever beef you have with your
Speaker 1: neighbors is not worth this. It's not worth putting all
Speaker 1: these signs up, making your neighborhood look gross, showcasing whatever
Speaker 1: stupid drama you have between the two of you. It's tacky,
Speaker 1: and I don't know the whole story, but with knowing
Speaker 1: what I have here, I'm gonna have to side with
Speaker 1: the neighbor who doesn't have the aggressive, crazy signs up
Speaker 1: personally exactly. I've got the number one like that. You
Speaker 1: see something like that and it's not a birthday party,
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, something that's staying up there long term.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yeah, here's some of the comments makes you
Speaker 1: wonder what his side of the story is. We're getting
Speaker 1: your side of the story. Is always more than meets
Speaker 1: the eye, she said. I understand there are always different perspectives.
Speaker 1: That's why I've documented the incidents with dates, photos, videos,
Speaker 1: and reports. My goal is not to attack anybody, but
Speaker 1: find help and share what my family has experienced. I
Speaker 1: love this. Somebody chimes in and says, just my opinion,
Speaker 1: but have you considered selling or moving to another neighborhood?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 1: Because he sucks? I've have you considered selling your house
Speaker 1: and uprooting your entire family and leaving the house that
Speaker 1: you like. I'm not gonna change my name because he's
Speaker 1: the one that sucks, exactly. I'm not gonna move. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna move because you know in that case, uh
Speaker 1: office space. But I'm not gonna move because the person
Speaker 1: is very real and lives next to me with all
Speaker 1: these signs is trying to ruin my life. Doesn't that
Speaker 1: mean the person with all the mean and offensive signs wins?
Speaker 1: Doesn't that person win if you move? I would think so.
Speaker 1: And it's got to be affecting everybody's property values in
Speaker 1: the area. This is the kind of thing to happens
Speaker 1: you walk into this situation and you go to buy
Speaker 1: a house, you go, I don't want to live next
Speaker 1: to this person got a freaking blog in their front yard.
Speaker 1: Could you under Can you imagine if the neighbor on
Speaker 1: the other side tried to sell their house right now,
Speaker 1: they'd be absolutely screwed. Oh my god, you try to
Speaker 1: block it off when you bring people in to tour
Speaker 1: the place. I understand why somebody might suggest moving, she said,
Speaker 1: But it's not that simple. If I decide to sell
Speaker 1: my home, I may have disclosure obligations regarding issues that
Speaker 1: could affect the property or buyer's decision. It would be
Speaker 1: difficult to find a buyer who would be comfortable purchasing
Speaker 1: a home where they're ongoing signs in public displays, creating
Speaker 1: this type of situation. She sounds in the comments. Pretty
Speaker 1: level headed, This lady correct, and her neighbor does not
Speaker 1: seem level headed with the signs. Can she become super
Speaker 1: caring and call code enforcement for all those signs? Don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm just asking those are the signs the neighbor are erected.
Speaker 3: And then I love people like this.
Speaker 1: There's always people like have you given a piece of chance?
Speaker 1: Have you tried to give piece of chance. And by
Speaker 1: the way, Abraham Dragon friend, totally right. This is the
Speaker 1: level of crazy that often ends in violence. It's totally right,
Speaker 1: totally true. These are the episodes of evil neighbors next
Speaker 1: door that end with one person I a little bit crazier,
Speaker 1: somebody resorting to violence at some point in time. But
Speaker 1: Nancy give piece a chance, lady says, I would just
Speaker 1: ignore them. If they come out and approach you, you
Speaker 1: can film that. Otherwise ignore them. They have the problem,
Speaker 1: not you. Is it because they were invading your property
Speaker 1: and you decided to put a fence where it goes?
Speaker 1: So there's other stuff we don't know. I've got to
Speaker 1: get this lady on the line so we could see
Speaker 1: what's happening. And then even this part where the person
Speaker 1: who lives there put she took me to court seven nine,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six and lost. Stupid lyne b Is it
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to f you? Was there a
Speaker 1: relationship here? First?
Speaker 3: Like what happened to start all of this?
Speaker 1: So many questions, so many questions that I have, And
Speaker 1: we're going to try to dig a little bit deeper.
Speaker 1: We shall see. Let us know what you think, whose
Speaker 1: side do you choose? Do you think it's free speech
Speaker 1: and the neighbor, if he hates his person living next door,
Speaker 1: can put up all these offensive signs with the F
Speaker 1: word on him and that's fine. Or do you think
Speaker 1: that you side with the lady? Give us, give us
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this. Set a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com right now. Okay, I thought that was crazy,
Speaker 1: that was absolutely unhitched. I want to know if we
Speaker 1: can find this lawsuit. Yeah, oh, you might be able
Speaker 1: to find that's a good point. I can't find the
Speaker 1: property right at the moment because the name that's on
Speaker 1: the uh post is not the name that's on the house. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it's not okay, so she must live there with somebody else,
Speaker 1: you're saying, or all right, I'm gonna message her. Can
Speaker 1: I call you on the show? This is right on
Speaker 1: next door? What is your number?
Speaker 3: Okay? Because I need to get more from this lady's side.
Speaker 1: This is not something that's probably just as simple as
Speaker 1: we might think. As with so many other things, there's
Speaker 1: loaded up stuff in here. There's a lot of baggage
Speaker 1: packed along with this. But I want to know what
Speaker 1: that baggage is and I think you might too, So
Speaker 1: we'll take you along with and I'll save this story
Speaker 1: as we move along through the week. Let us know
Speaker 1: what you think. Send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, we have so many dispatches rolling in
Speaker 1: our rate. My blank for the week is show us
Speaker 1: your magnets. Rate my magnets. And it can either be
Speaker 1: your magnet collection like this one right here from Nerve
Speaker 1: coatsa with all of their lovely magnets on their refrigerator.
Speaker 1: Not very Game of Magnets friendly, but still we appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Couch Spider with his magnets here, I said. Or and
Speaker 1: this might be the one that wins the whole damn thing.
Speaker 1: If you have magnets in like a clever place, if
Speaker 1: you took the news junkie magnets and you brought them
Speaker 1: somewhere and put them on display. Maybe somebody took them
Speaker 1: to the Grand Canyon earlier. Lots of different opportunities. We're
Speaker 1: gonna find the best. Here's Amy with her collection. Look
Speaker 1: at this, damn Amy. I think Amy's got more than
Speaker 1: I do, for God's sake. Pretty good, it's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Huge collection of the News Junkie magnets.
Speaker 1: So send us yours or your magnets in the weirdest, funniest,
Speaker 1: excuse me, most interesting places over at Thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, we'll see if we
Speaker 1: get an update from this lovely lady who's in the
Speaker 1: midst of a really tough neighbors battle. We'll also get
Speaker 1: to the guy who came to a local media outlet
Speaker 1: and wanted to finally give his story about what it's
Speaker 1: like to have cyclospora. He sat down and talked to
Speaker 1: a local media outlet. I'll play you his story that's
Speaker 1: coming up next to the News Junkie. Some surprises on
Speaker 1: the way for you this week, and one will be
Speaker 1: either today or tomorrow. The other is and I think
Speaker 1: we might even try this out a little bit in
Speaker 1: the Power Hour today possibly or certainly this week.
Speaker 3: We'll try it out at some point in time.
Speaker 1: For me, the last bastion of tech things that need
Speaker 1: to be solidified on this show to bring us to
Speaker 1: one hundred percent is the live interactions. And I've wanted
Speaker 1: to do live interactions on the show for a very
Speaker 1: very long time. I couldn't get anybody to screen calls.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get phone calls set up. I couldn't get
Speaker 1: any of that stuff done, So we did a lot
Speaker 1: of dispatches, and dispatches are a very important part of
Speaker 1: where the show is and you can, no matter where
Speaker 1: you're listening, send those all the time. But the excitement
Speaker 1: of the live calls is something that I've always missed
Speaker 1: and it's a place that I thrive, and so over
Speaker 1: the weekend I built out a autoscreen line with a
Speaker 1: toll free number where people can call up. We have
Speaker 1: a bunch of lines that will open up. We could
Speaker 1: turn them on and off when we want to, and
Speaker 1: when we turn them on, you can call you say
Speaker 1: what your name is, what you're talking about, and then
Speaker 1: we can go to you live on.
Speaker 3: The show with a phone call.
Speaker 1: And it should work out really, really well because I
Speaker 1: can see it on my studio screen in front of me,
Speaker 1: mixing technology with technology. We can show you on the
Speaker 1: screen if you're watching over on YouTube. There's just a
Speaker 1: lot of different options about this, and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: just build all this stuff out so we have all
Speaker 1: the coolest features and all the fun stuff that we
Speaker 1: could possibly have in fact, I work a lot on
Speaker 1: this and I can show you. Let's ask a question
Speaker 1: to Tji and I'll show you something else I worked
Speaker 1: up over the weekend. Hopefully this doesn't fail miserably see
Speaker 1: land or I'm gonna look stupid, but there's a chance
Speaker 1: of that happening either way really works for me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna hurt you in any way. Will Let's
Speaker 1: ask about that drama that we just talked about, Tjai.
Speaker 1: If there's two neighbors that are fighting back and forth
Speaker 1: and another neighbor puts a bunch of mean signs in
Speaker 1: their front yard, especially signs that might even use the
Speaker 1: F word or curse words on them, is that any
Speaker 1: kind of crime or is that just free speech? Hey?
Speaker 5: Great question. It can be a bit of a gray area.
Speaker 5: In most places, putting up signs on your own property
Speaker 5: is generally considered free speech, even if they use foul language,
Speaker 5: But there are exceptions if the signs are threatening or harassing,
Speaker 5: or if they target someone specific in a defamatory way
Speaker 5: that could cross the line into harassment or even a crime.
Speaker 5: A local ordinances might also restrict certain language or signs,
Speaker 5: so it really depends on the content and local laws.
Speaker 1: All right, So that's about where we thought we were
Speaker 1: at on this. By the way, there should be like
Speaker 1: visuals going on in the stream for those of you watching.
Speaker 3: Let me know if that works.
Speaker 1: It can't go Yeah, the futuristic visuals when we use
Speaker 1: tnji and and correct hopefully correct information out there, don't
Speaker 1: say who is this hussy?
Speaker 3: This is the voice of Tnjai.
Speaker 1: Can't you can't call Tnjai a Hussey when that text
Speaker 1: to speech lady was just way too parno. Oh you
Speaker 1: mean the TTS lady on the dispatch. Yes, I can't
Speaker 1: have heard no every question I asked to be a
Speaker 1: little too necessarily broken law this that it looks like
Speaker 1: how Yeah, yeah, I mean that's what it is. Futuristic.
Speaker 1: So we can ask any questions to TJI and if
Speaker 1: you're watching over on or the stream at YouTube dot com,
Speaker 1: slash the news junkie. Okay, let's see what we got here. Oh,
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up the story there's been one guy,
Speaker 1: only one guy who has been brave enough to get
Speaker 1: the cyclospora thing which gives you explosive diarrhea, which is
Speaker 1: maybe now not from Taco Bell, maybe now not from
Speaker 1: the farm that the FDA blamed it on. We don't know,
Speaker 1: we don't know what the hell is going on. But
Speaker 1: the guy who got the cyclospora went to a media outlet,
Speaker 1: NBC five in Chicago and was willing to talk to them,
Speaker 1: which is brave. I will say that's brave. It could
Speaker 1: be very, very embarrassing. So let's see how it went
Speaker 1: for this discuss disease controlling Prevention says nearly seven thousand
Speaker 1: people have gotten sick from cyclosporiasis across way more than
Speaker 1: four states. Those are new numbers in all of it
Speaker 1: since May.
Speaker 12: A Chicago man says he caught this stomach bug and
Speaker 12: ended up in.
Speaker 1: The emergency room. Here's NBC five's v Win the emergency
Speaker 1: room too, Alonzo zero goo. Oh this guy, he's sitting
Speaker 1: here drinking a like an electrolyte drink. He's drinking like
Speaker 1: a pedia light as he's doing the interview from Chicago's
Speaker 1: Look at this guy. He's sitting on a toilet that
Speaker 1: he brought outside. Hed got. It does look like that
Speaker 1: he was like the only way to get the interview
Speaker 1: done was to have him on an outside toilet.
Speaker 19: Says he's been trying to recover from cycle spariasis.
Speaker 12: I'm probably like an eighty percent, but you know that's
Speaker 12: that's still better than right now.
Speaker 19: The forty six year old told NBC five he started
Speaker 19: showing symptoms last weekend, including severe diarrhea.
Speaker 1: This is so ballsy of him to go and speak
Speaker 1: to local media outlets after having explosive diarrhea and then
Speaker 1: there might be conditions here, Sean, you might be like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'll do the interview, but we need to have a
Speaker 1: pre tape. Yeah, I could, you know, at any point
Speaker 1: to stand up and excuse myself and very quickly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's brave, though.
Speaker 12: I think it was just every hour and a half
Speaker 12: going to the blushroom. I don't think I've spent more
Speaker 12: than an hour and a half continuously in the last
Speaker 12: week on show.
Speaker 19: Things took a turn when he noticed blood in his stool.
Speaker 12: My family was like, that's not normal, and we went
Speaker 12: to the er and had it checked.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is why I'm telling you there's so many
Speaker 1: more people than this that have had this cyclospora. The
Speaker 1: guy is talking about his bloody stools, he's talking about
Speaker 1: his family's going that's not normal, that that's happening. This
Speaker 1: guy is over sharing. Most people will never tell you
Speaker 1: that this has happened.
Speaker 18: Took blood simple, the school simple, and it just.
Speaker 1: Went to the same place. Zara Goza says.
Speaker 19: Doctors at Northwestern Hospital told him they believe he came
Speaker 19: down with the intestinal illness. He looked back on his
Speaker 19: history to see where he may have caught it, a.
Speaker 12: Look through everything. There was nothing that I ate that
Speaker 12: contained lettuce. Taco bells set for Chiloupa from the.
Speaker 6: Luxe No Heaven Shulopa.
Speaker 1: He got a luxe box.
Speaker 12: I looked at the app. I googled the ingredients that
Speaker 12: says Iceberg lettuce.
Speaker 19: The FDA is investigating the cycle sprice and child breaking
Speaker 19: five states.
Speaker 7: Iceberg lettuce.
Speaker 19: Taylor Farms issued a voluntary recall of all Iceberg lettuce
Speaker 19: source from Mexico.
Speaker 1: Here's for the record if you missed it earlier today,
Speaker 1: the FDA has apologized to Taylor Farms and said that
Speaker 1: their second test showed that it was an errant test
Speaker 1: that it didn't actually test positive. So we don't even
Speaker 1: know if that farm is the center of this. But
Speaker 1: this guy's now blooming on a chiloop.
Speaker 19: Taco bell said it also removed affected lettuce from its restaurants.
Speaker 19: Federal health investigators have in said of produce from that
Speaker 19: supply is linked to cases in other states like Illinois.
Speaker 19: As for a Zerigoza, he's warning neighbors to be careful.
Speaker 12: Stay hydrated, be careful about where you're eating, make sure
Speaker 12: you wash clean and cook any any greens that you're eating.
Speaker 19: The Illinois Department of Public Health says at least three
Speaker 19: hundred and ninety because they have a go fund in
Speaker 19: the state, around sixty here in Chicago reporting from the news, I'm.
Speaker 1: Telling you, there's so many more people that have had this.
Speaker 1: This is embarrassing to go on the media and be like,
Speaker 1: it's been just absolutely disgusting. In my house, i haven't
Speaker 1: been able to sleep for more than an hour and
Speaker 1: a half straight for a week. I've just been blowing
Speaker 1: it out all over the place. But that's literally what
Speaker 1: the guy is saying. And then I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people are trolling like people are freaking out about this.
Speaker 1: One video going how dumb could folks be? And it
Speaker 1: shows somebody taking their their produce, their lettuce or their
Speaker 1: greens and they're pouring clorox bleach on it.
Speaker 3: They're taking a.
Speaker 1: Spring mix and they're like washing it all out, sprang
Speaker 1: the different disinfectant sprays. This is meant to make you angry,
Speaker 1: that's what this what This person was gonna throw this
Speaker 1: away anyways, and they just film themselves doing that. They're
Speaker 1: not really eating this after words, They're they're just trolling
Speaker 1: you into getting angry. This sort of outrage content works.
Speaker 1: They didn't actually eat this lettuce afterwards, at least I
Speaker 1: hope not good God. But it shows them in the
Speaker 1: sink using chlorox and all the sprays, and then what
Speaker 1: does it show them afterwards eating something? I think it is. Yeah, Oh,
Speaker 1: they put a little cheese on top some shrimp and
Speaker 1: made themselves a lettuce afterwards. Just for the record, if
Speaker 1: you're watching this, valve, yeah they could call it. Some
Speaker 1: call it that. I believe that this is fake. I
Speaker 1: don't believe this person actually ate this. I think they're
Speaker 1: trolling and trying to make you angry and outrage bait here.
Speaker 1: But just in case you do buy into this, don't
Speaker 1: do this. Just just avoid eating produce for a little
Speaker 1: while if you don't mind, or if you want your
Speaker 1: stomach to serve and not do an embarrassing interview let
Speaker 1: us know what you think. Send a dispatch over at
Speaker 1: thenewsjunkie dot com right now. All right, we will take
Speaker 1: a quick break. When we come back, we've got jury duty.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this woman who's been going viral.
Speaker 1: Her name's Bethany Michael. We're going to try to reach
Speaker 1: out to her as well. And she has her father
Speaker 1: who died and left her this house in a neighborhood
Speaker 1: and the neighborhood's like a fifty five and up neighborhood,
Speaker 1: and the neighborhood is saying that even though her father
Speaker 1: left her this house, she can't live there. She's too
Speaker 1: young to live there. And she's like, I want to
Speaker 1: live here. My father left me this house, and they said, no,
Speaker 1: we want you out of here. And they're trying to
Speaker 1: get this woman out of the neighborhood. It's interesting back
Speaker 1: and forth legally, so we'll get into that. We'll figure
Speaker 1: out more about this neighborhood drama that I was stirring
Speaker 1: up and see what's happening there. We've got a bunch
Speaker 1: more on the way. It's all coming up next on
Speaker 1: the News junk Key. Another pick aside at the top
Speaker 1: of the hour in well, the Power Hour, the power
Speaker 1: hour of the show. We've got a lot for you,
Speaker 1: so let's just start it off. Here we go, let's

Speaker 1: be back on the show this week as far as
Speaker 1: I know. We'll see what's happening with him later on

Speaker 1: of that good stuff that will be coming up as
Speaker 1: the week rolls on.

Speaker 1: You have an accent, if you have any issues and
Speaker 1: it happens to you, you can reach out. You can
Speaker 1: reach out and con tack the show, or you could
Speaker 1: contact Moses. That's what I would recommend to get your
Speaker 1: case started. Eight sixty six call me. That's the direct number.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred CALLMO or eight sixty six, either one of
Speaker 1: them works. Eight hundred Calmo eight hundred call MOO, or
Speaker 1: go to just CALLMO dot com. After an accident, reach
Speaker 1: out to the attorney that's going to help you out.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred call MO. Wednesday is Josh's birthday. We know,
Speaker 1: we know it's been made very clear that one very
Speaker 1: clear does what's going on with him?
Speaker 3: One hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Here is the woman who is going through a bit
Speaker 1: of an issue right now. She is she inherited a
Speaker 1: house from her father who passed away, and her father
Speaker 1: was living in a community where it's it's only like
Speaker 1: older adults. I think it's fifty five and over in
Speaker 1: the community, and they bar certain people from living there.
Speaker 1: You got to be older right now. She's twenty eight
Speaker 1: years old. She's not fifty five or over. She's twenty
Speaker 1: eight years old. So she goes, I got the house now.
Speaker 1: My dad died. He left the house to me. I
Speaker 1: plan on staying at the house. And they go, no,
Speaker 1: this is old ose only in this community. Get the
Speaker 1: hell out of here. See you later, sucker. And this
Speaker 1: has become a huge drama in her area. So let's
Speaker 1: peek into that world here as we do jury duty.
Speaker 1: This is a dispute in Jackson today.
Speaker 20: This is the Oak Leaf neighborhood where one hundred and
Speaker 20: fifty five homeowners will have to pay a thousand dollars
Speaker 20: special assessment to sue their twenty eight year old neighbor.
Speaker 3: How crazy is that by itself?
Speaker 1: Everybody in the neighbor neighborhood is going to have to
Speaker 1: spend one thousand dollars for a special assessment. You guys
Speaker 1: probably don't even know who they can do this, but
Speaker 1: your hoa can push across a special assessment and then
Speaker 1: you have to pay the money.
Speaker 3: Everybody in the neighborhood has to pay one.
Speaker 1: Thousand dollars of their own money to sue this twenty
Speaker 1: eight year old woman who who's living in the house
Speaker 1: that her dad left her because she's not fifty five.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine if they spend one thousand dollars everybody
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, what do they say, one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty five residents, Yeah, uh huh, they're spending one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty five thousand dollars to sue this woman.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sure, they're not replacing some lights somewhere too. Is there
Speaker 1: some new sad going in? One hundred and fifty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars seems pretty steep. That's crazy if they all
Speaker 1: have to pay this to sue her and she somehow wins.
Speaker 1: She is not going to be very welcome in that neighborhood, no,
Speaker 1: because everybody's gonna be mad. A thousand bucks ain't nothing.
Speaker 15: That's Bethany Michelle.
Speaker 20: She inherited a home after her father passed away, and
Speaker 20: today we are hearing from some neighbors who agree with
Speaker 20: getting her out.
Speaker 14: It's really not about this young lady. It's about enforcing
Speaker 14: the age requirements across the board. They have the right
Speaker 14: to choose to live in a nature way and they
Speaker 14: bought into an hia where it's fifty five and above.
Speaker 14: I mean, yeah, there are some younger folks like me
Speaker 14: that live in here. And that's fine because I live
Speaker 14: with somebody that's over fifty five.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, hold on now, lady, now you have
Speaker 1: a loophole. She's talking to the news and she wants
Speaker 1: her worked out of the neighborhood. This younger woman and
Speaker 1: she's not even fifty five, and she's not even fifty five,
Speaker 1: but she gets to stay there because she's living with
Speaker 1: somebody who's fifty five. Do you think she gets a
Speaker 1: roommate who's fifty five, then she, according to this lady,
Speaker 1: she would be eligible that would fit the loophole unless
Speaker 1: the owner has to be fifty five. I think, do
Speaker 1: you think the news purposely wanted to talk to the
Speaker 1: lady who's not fifty five about this? Or could they
Speaker 1: not get any of the rest of the community on camera.
Speaker 1: I don't know. They talk to more people. I think, here,
Speaker 1: let's see who else they talk.
Speaker 14: Okay, you know, and while her dad was alive, there
Speaker 14: was no problem with the young lady living here. But
Speaker 14: the rules are the rules, and one we can't force
Speaker 14: the rules for all.
Speaker 20: So you're under fifty five living with your mom in
Speaker 20: this neighborhood. And yes, so if the same situation were
Speaker 20: to happen to.
Speaker 10: You, if my mom was to ask, if something was
Speaker 10: to happen to my mom and she was to pass away,
Speaker 10: I would fully be under the understanding that I would
Speaker 10: not live here, like I cannot live here because I'm
Speaker 10: not shifting five.
Speaker 1: Now, that's so easy to say when your parents are
Speaker 1: alive and you don't have to move and you don't
Speaker 1: have to leave, and god knows what else is going on.
Speaker 1: If your mom were to die, you would have to
Speaker 1: I mean inevitably, whether whether you are getting money from
Speaker 1: her or not. There's probably gonna be a lot coming
Speaker 1: out of your pocket, at least initially, to take care
Speaker 1: of her, to take care of her body, to play
Speaker 1: in the funeral, to do all this stuff. It's going
Speaker 1: to be hard to just go all right. Also, I'm
Speaker 1: moving out. Also, let's pack up, let's find a place,
Speaker 1: let's go. It just seems weird to me because this lady,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad they interviewed her, because she's out there.
Speaker 1: She's like, she needs to get out of here. Well,
Speaker 1: you're not fifty five either, and you're living here. Well
Speaker 1: that's because my mom is alive and I live with
Speaker 1: my mom as a grown ass adult. And you go, well,
Speaker 1: what that seems kind of weird. That seems a little
Speaker 1: almost hypocritical yourself pushing this out there. So he says,
Speaker 1: gas like gatekeep. I'm on her side now she is gatekeeping. Literally.
Speaker 20: You feel about the litigation and the thousand dollars you
Speaker 20: all will have to pay.
Speaker 1: No one's excited about the thousand dollars. No one.
Speaker 20: This community is now getting national attention because of this issue,
Speaker 20: and that's bringing up some mixed feelings. So how are
Speaker 20: you feeling about all the national attention it's.
Speaker 7: Been a lot.
Speaker 21: Like me as a person personally, I am.
Speaker 15: Not equipped to deal with this.
Speaker 21: But being that I have been put in a position
Speaker 21: to potentially become an advocate for caregivers, to become maybe
Speaker 21: one of the first to figure out what goes on
Speaker 21: in a situation like this, to potentially even change the
Speaker 21: laws because there are people who have reached out to
Speaker 21: lawmakers on my behalf.
Speaker 15: It's bittersweet, but it's for a good reason.
Speaker 21: Whether that is in my favor or not, this needs
Speaker 21: to be very clear for all homeowners, all fifty five
Speaker 21: plus people with caregivers.
Speaker 15: Personally, I think she should move.
Speaker 14: I think her dad did her a great honor of
Speaker 14: leaving the house to her. But I mean, this is
Speaker 14: an over fifty five community where they've chosen to be
Speaker 14: over fifty five.
Speaker 1: You're not over fifty five. What like, what's the point
Speaker 1: of an over fifty five community if you could be
Speaker 1: like a stay at home kid. This woman Just so
Speaker 1: you know, she's older than the twenty eight year old,
Speaker 1: I guarantee you. I guarantee you. The woman who's going
Speaker 1: like I think she should leave. I think she should
Speaker 1: get the hell out of here. That woman is older
Speaker 1: than the twenty eight year old. But she's like, I
Speaker 1: live with my mommy, and that means I get to
Speaker 1: stay in the neighborhood. Okay, it's crazy to me. So
Speaker 1: they're fifty five and over. It's a private community. Her
Speaker 1: dad died and now her dad, you know, left the
Speaker 1: house behind her, and she's being kicked out, and everybody
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood all what did they say, one hundred
Speaker 1: and something, one hundred and fifty five residents of one
Speaker 1: thousand dollars apiece. They're spending one hundred and fifty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to sue this woman. Which how much does
Speaker 1: it cost to sue somebody? Well, why is that so expensive?
Speaker 1: It's another excellent question. That is crazy. So that's what's
Speaker 1: happening there. I've also reached out to this woman. We'll
Speaker 1: see if the twenty eight year old who's staying in
Speaker 1: the fifty five plus neighborhood responds and see what her
Speaker 1: Her situation is is kind of interesting though, and I

Speaker 1: dispute escalade after a woman says, I'm going to report you.
Speaker 1: There are some sparks flying in this one, folks, there
Speaker 1: are some sparks of flying in this one. I tried,
Speaker 1: I try when I send her these not to watch them,
Speaker 1: to just do the audio and just like listen to
Speaker 1: as little of it as possible. But there is one
Speaker 1: part of this video that I wanted to listen to
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. You'll know it. You'll
Speaker 1: know it was a part for me too that at
Speaker 1: the end, I was like, oh God, Okay, Here's what happens.
Speaker 1: There's a woman who encounters some other person. The story
Speaker 1: behind this from the Daily Dot is the clip begins
Speaker 1: with the camera focused on a middle aged woman you'll
Speaker 1: hear it in just a moment, who tells the woman
Speaker 1: filming that she is part of South Miami. The woman
Speaker 1: behind the camera responds she doesn't know what that means.
Speaker 1: The woman filming then asked what the other woman is
Speaker 1: doing on her property, and she says it's not her property.
Speaker 1: So they go back and forth. Some middle aged woman
Speaker 1: and this lady that she's having it out with. Let's
Speaker 1: listen in on this. Pick a sou for what?
Speaker 4: Because you're part of Okay, I don't know what you're
Speaker 4: part of South Miami means? When I asked you, am
Speaker 4: I on your property?
Speaker 1: Do you want me to leave?
Speaker 4: Extreme?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: So what are you out here saying?
Speaker 20: Then?
Speaker 4: What are you out here bothering me for? Did I bother?
Speaker 7: You know what?
Speaker 4: You're in it?
Speaker 7: And I'm going to report you whenever you are, I
Speaker 7: am going to report you.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, where are you going to report that? Someone
Speaker 4: asked you nicely if they should leave your property? And
Speaker 4: you literally sat in your vocalize and it's not your property,
Speaker 4: so you're harassing someone for no reason. Yeah, this is harassment, lady.
Speaker 4: If this isn't your property and you're coming out here sticking.
Speaker 8: You want to put your hands on me, get the halloway.
Speaker 8: That's literally on camera. You're grabbing at me. Yeah, it's
Speaker 8: on camera. You're grabbing at me. You're grabbing my camera again,
Speaker 8: and I'll hit you again.
Speaker 1: You're just smooth. She's got her dog. She's locking her dog,
Speaker 1: and her dog is like excited that they've been fighting her.
Speaker 1: This old lady. Okay, I didn't know Mohido was a dog.
Speaker 1: When I was centering this, I thought she was calling
Speaker 1: the lady mohido and it was some sort of like
Speaker 1: South of Miami slur or something like they were using, listen,
Speaker 1: mohdo out of my way. This woman comes out to
Speaker 1: me total mohido if you know what I'm talking. Oh,
Speaker 1: that wasn't. That wasn't the part of it that I
Speaker 1: wanted to play over and over again. Do you know
Speaker 1: what it was?
Speaker 21: No?
Speaker 1: Did I not play you played it?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 1: The woman's reaction to getting hit is listen, We've got
Speaker 1: to go back and revisit this because there's a lot
Speaker 1: going on here. I don't understand what it means. She says,
Speaker 1: you're a part of this South Miami thing. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that is. I don't know if that's racist.
Speaker 1: The lady, the old lady's talking to is black. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that has anything to do with this.
Speaker 1: Literally just kind of looking at this trying to pick
Speaker 1: it apart here. But she goes in the South Miami
Speaker 1: for what?
Speaker 4: Because you're part of South Okay, I don't know what
Speaker 4: you're part of South Miami means. When I asked you,
Speaker 4: am I on your property? Do you want me to leave? Extreme? Okay?
Speaker 4: So what are you out here saying? Then? What are
Speaker 4: you out here bothering me for? Did I bother.
Speaker 7: You know what?
Speaker 3: You're in it?
Speaker 1: And I'm going to report you. All right, you're in it,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna report you. I don't know what is
Speaker 1: this lady talking about. She doesn't sound like she's got
Speaker 1: it all together. John says, wake up, babe, new Slurg
Speaker 1: just dropped. Move Mohito, wherever you are, I am going
Speaker 1: to report you. Go ahead.
Speaker 4: What are you going to report that? Someone asked you
Speaker 4: nicely if they should leave your property? And you literally
Speaker 4: sat in your vocalize that it's not your property, so
Speaker 4: you're harassing someone for no reason. Yeah, this is harassment, lady.
Speaker 4: If this isn't your property and you're coming out here
Speaker 4: sticking swung on her, they get the hell away from me.
Speaker 4: That literally on camera.
Speaker 1: Now, I think at this point people would be like
Speaker 1: that woman just hit an old lady, but not me.
Speaker 3: You know me at this point in time.
Speaker 1: All right, you've listened to this show long enough. You
Speaker 1: know me. If an old lady comes up and starts
Speaker 1: swinging on me, I'm gonna try not to do anything.
Speaker 3: I don't want to hit an old lady. I love
Speaker 3: old ladies.
Speaker 1: They're sweet people usually, But if an old lady is
Speaker 1: intent on hitting me, it's gonna hit me over and over.
Speaker 1: Eventually I'm gonna slap the old lead. I'll say move mohito,
Speaker 1: and I'll slap that bitch.
Speaker 13: She uh.
Speaker 1: I think she grabbed at her phone like she was
Speaker 1: trying to grab her phone to stop her from recording. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then she got smacked or maybe punched or something,
Speaker 1: and didn't I didn't hear the actual impact She's gonna make.
Speaker 1: Somebody signs about this, and man, grabbing at me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's on camera.
Speaker 8: You're grabbing at me. You grabbing my camera again, and
Speaker 8: I'll hit you again.
Speaker 1: You're just Mohedo mohdo. The dog is like at one
Speaker 1: point his legs are on the side of this old
Speaker 1: lady like he's gonna attack her. Move Mohito's gonna attack
Speaker 1: old lady. I don't know what the hell's going on. Oh,
Speaker 1: she got arrested. She got arrested. Here old ladies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the old ladies and cuffs at the end here hilarious. So,
Speaker 1: as per usual, you know, these videos are clipped. You
Speaker 1: only get little short portions of this. But we have
Speaker 1: a pick a side here. I'm going to say, the
Speaker 1: lady who's walking her dogs, she swung on the old lady,
Speaker 1: but the old lady reached for her first yep o.
Speaker 1: The old lady escalated this, she made first contact. And
Speaker 1: for that, I am not only on the side of
Speaker 1: the person holding the camera, I am mostly on the
Speaker 1: side of Mohito. Mohito is the Mohito is the best
Speaker 1: individual involved in this at all. Snoop says, I'm on
Speaker 1: Mohito's side too. Mohito is a dog's name, does slap though,
Speaker 1: yeah it does. Yeah, yeah, she's so dramatic. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: hearing that, Like, I want to know how hard she
Speaker 1: got smacked. I want to know how hard she got
Speaker 1: hit to have this just flabbergasted response to her reaching
Speaker 1: for somebody's phone. Yeah, and then I guess, not expecting
Speaker 1: any sort of repercussion, she gets the repercussion. And she's
Speaker 1: so dramatic too, this lady, Like, what are you bothering
Speaker 1: this woman for walking her dog in your neighborhood? Who cares?
Speaker 1: Who cares? So many of these things are started with
Speaker 1: like the smallest indiscretions that people get angry about, and
Speaker 1: you gotta learned it, like a bunch of move moo,
Speaker 1: move for God's sake, Anonymous is insufficient information. I need
Speaker 1: to know what the phone holder is part of. But
Speaker 1: there's nothing she's part of it. Yeah, there's nothing that
Speaker 1: could justify the weirdness with which this woman is approaching
Speaker 1: this dog walking lady. She's walking moheedo. She's enjoying herself,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, and there's nothing that could justify her doing that.
Speaker 1: Otherwise she would have said it in the mix.
Speaker 3: But she didn't. She just said, you're.
Speaker 1: Part of this whole South Miami thing for what?
Speaker 4: Because you're part of South Okay, I don't know what
Speaker 4: you're part of South Miami means? When I asked you,
Speaker 4: am I on your property? Do you want me to leave? Extreme?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: So what are you out here saying? Then? What are
Speaker 4: you out here bothering me for? Did I bother you?
Speaker 1: You know you're in it? Why is she talking like
Speaker 1: the text to speech Italian mafia boss?
Speaker 3: Got something that sounds like you're in it?
Speaker 1: Okay, you're in it.
Speaker 7: I'm going to report you.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, wherever you are, I am going to report you.
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Where are you going to report that? Someone asked you
Speaker 4: nicely if they should leave your property and you literally
Speaker 4: sat in your vocalize and it's not your property, So
Speaker 4: you're harassing someone for no reason. Yeah, this is harassment lady,
Speaker 4: if this isn't your property and you're coming out here.
Speaker 8: Sticking boh, put your hand, get the hell away from me.
Speaker 8: That literally on camera you're grabbing at me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's on camera.
Speaker 8: You're grabbing at me, grabbing my camera again.
Speaker 4: And I'll hit you again.
Speaker 1: You're just move oh so great. And and the more
Speaker 1: you watch it, the more you like notice little things
Speaker 1: like right before she goes to grab for the phone.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she's working out that she's deciding
Speaker 1: to grab the phone, but she does like a weird
Speaker 1: thing with her finger. Yeah, she's like she's she's trying
Speaker 1: to like almost coax herself into grabbing the phone, which
Speaker 1: starts the whole thing. But you grabbing my phone, you
Speaker 1: start grabbing me, you start swatting around. I don't be
Speaker 1: surprised if you get swatted back. Lady. Yeah, well, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to deck an old lady. I'll be real
Speaker 1: with you. I'm not gonna just swing and deck an
Speaker 1: old lady. Hilarious. I'll duck yeah, yeah, I'll duck back
Speaker 1: and I'll popper if I need to. What you know,
Speaker 1: somebody says that lady sounds like taking. I will find
Speaker 1: you and I will report you, no matter where you
Speaker 1: are here. I don't know what started this. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's uh Latina on on black on whatever violence.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. But instant karma is
Speaker 1: Mohitos moving to the neighborhood. There go, there go, move Mohito.

Speaker 3: We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be unlocking for the first time, maybe on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking unlocking our new toll free phone lines to
Speaker 1: give those a test and see how that goes.
Speaker 3: It's just there's a lot of interesting twist and turns.
Speaker 1: We'll see if we get anything on this neighborhood drama
Speaker 1: thing that we stirred up earlier. I can't wait for
Speaker 1: that now. That post, by the way, is trending on
Speaker 1: next door, the one that we were talking about with
Speaker 1: the neighbors who absolutely hate each other with some vis signs. Well,
Speaker 1: one side has the signs. The other side is just like,
Speaker 1: please help me. This person's crazy, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, a dream would be that we hear from her,
Speaker 1: the woman that this neighbor is targeting with all these signs.
Speaker 1: I want to hear from the neighbor and then hear
Speaker 1: from him afterwards. The bottom line is, even if we
Speaker 1: don't hear from any of them, which hopefully we do
Speaker 1: this week, we'll probably be able to locate the lawsuit
Speaker 1: and get some more drama out of it that way,
Speaker 1: so we will have some interesting updates for you as
Speaker 1: the week rolls on. Okay, let's see what we got.
Speaker 1: This Tennessee mother is in some trouble. This woman, I guess,
Speaker 1: is this the story here? This woman shot somebody who
Speaker 1: snuck into her daughter's bedroom. But the police are investigating
Speaker 1: this right now, and somebody sent along this story. Let's
Speaker 1: see what's going on. Action five News has.
Speaker 11: This Scott is doing court tomorrow and names Kendrick Scott.
Speaker 11: Man was killed in a shooting in the Walker Homes
Speaker 11: neighborhood early Thursday morning. Office called to the three thousand
Speaker 11: block of Travis Road around one forty five in the morning.
Speaker 11: They found a man in the front yard with a
Speaker 11: gunshot wound to the back of the head. He was
Speaker 11: pronounced dead on scene. We talked with neighbors there police.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so the police got out the car real fast,
Speaker 13: started running up to her and told her to put
Speaker 13: her hands on her back. She was trying to talk.
Speaker 13: Now they you know, putting her in the car. Now
Speaker 13: they you know, putting a yellow tape around. And I
Speaker 13: was like, somebody right.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry that it had to come to that, but
Speaker 8: I would feel bad if I come home and somebody
Speaker 8: will hear with my little girl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 11: Thirty six year old Kendrew Scott, no relation to the company,
Speaker 11: has been charged and arrested with first degree murder and
Speaker 11: employing a firearm.
Speaker 3: Their combination of a dancer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was wonderf they're going to say that Kendra
Speaker 1: Scott is a woman who has a big jewelry company.
Speaker 1: A lot of ladies will recognize that name, Kendra Scott.
Speaker 1: I would have to buy my wife jew to know
Speaker 1: that you might have to soon get some Kendrick Scott action.
Speaker 1: And I when I hear the name, I think the
Speaker 1: same thing. But I was wondering if they were going
Speaker 1: to make mention of that. They said, Mom, they sell
Speaker 1: it at Target. Well, she probably already has something they
Speaker 1: sell it at. I saw it at Disney Springs. I
Speaker 1: think she has a store. A mom at Tennessee was
Speaker 1: arrested for murder when officers found a man dead on
Speaker 1: her front lawn after she claims she caught him hiding
Speaker 1: under her daughter's bed.
Speaker 3: This is the update.
Speaker 1: Kendrick Scott, thirty six, was taken in to custody by
Speaker 1: Memphis police after officers responded to her home just before
Speaker 1: two am. Police made the grim discovery of a twenty
Speaker 1: year old man unresponsive with a gunshot wounded the back
Speaker 1: of the head on Scott's front porch. Scott allegedly told
Speaker 1: officers at the scene that she saw a dude under
Speaker 1: my kid's bed, and I did what I had to do,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 3: Interesting.
Speaker 1: Scott's daughter, who has not been named due to age,
Speaker 1: identified the victim as a man named as Roderius Morton.
Speaker 1: She told police that she invited Morton to the home
Speaker 1: and he came in through the back door at one hour.
Speaker 1: So we don't know how young this daughter is, but
Speaker 1: we know that the daughter is under agent because they're
Speaker 1: not naming her in the story. But she invited him
Speaker 1: over and then she yeah, hid under the bed and
Speaker 1: then mom shot him, so she's question mark age. The
Speaker 1: daughter is. She invites the twenty year old man over,
Speaker 1: and the twenty year old man comes over at one am.
Speaker 1: About twenty minutes later, her mother comes and knocks loudly
Speaker 1: on the door and says, who's at my house. The
Speaker 1: girl told police she was scared because Scott had a
Speaker 1: gun and previously threatened that if a boy was in
Speaker 1: the house she would put a hole in his ass.
Speaker 1: This is the mom, So she said she was scared
Speaker 1: because her mom had a gun and previously threatened if
Speaker 1: a boy was in the house, she put a hole
Speaker 1: in his ass. Kendrick Scott, thirty six, has been charged
Speaker 1: with first degree murdered possession of a firearm during a
Speaker 1: felony for allegedly killing a man after finding him under
Speaker 1: her teen daughter's bedroom or under the bed, I guess,
Speaker 1: she said. When she led her mother into the room,
Speaker 1: Scott allegedly caught mor Than hiding under the bed and
Speaker 1: collecting his belongings before leaving to go home. That Scott
Speaker 1: told Morton to get out of my house. Bitch, and
Speaker 1: she heard one gun shot and when the two went
Speaker 1: out on the front porch. So it's interesting here because
Speaker 1: if she shot this twenty year old man in her
Speaker 1: daughter's bedroom under the bed, she might be in a
Speaker 1: better position. Yeah. The back of the head thing, for
Speaker 1: me is what makes it sound like she might not
Speaker 1: be in such a great position for this. When you
Speaker 1: hear back of the head, typically in the news they
Speaker 1: use the term execution style.
Speaker 3: Yes, I was just thinking that.
Speaker 1: So like, and they used to hear it all the time,
Speaker 1: and like, these really serious violent crimes are like, you know,
Speaker 1: some lady was killed, some man was killed execution style
Speaker 1: in the front yard. Yeah, like if he was able
Speaker 1: to make it out or if there's some other way,
Speaker 1: because this is nothing like the dude in the in
Speaker 1: the young kid like that eighteen year old kid in
Speaker 1: Daytona or something. Who where the dad of the young
Speaker 1: fourteen year old thirteen fourteen year old boy just beat
Speaker 1: the pulp out of his face. Yeah, and they pretty
Speaker 1: much said, well, what he wants to do about it?
Speaker 1: It seems like you took care of the situation and
Speaker 1: we're done here. Yeah, I wanted to know. I think
Speaker 1: we're done here. You know what I was gonna say, Celine,
Speaker 1: I want to know how young the daughter is, But
Speaker 1: how much of a factor is that legally? None Higgins
Speaker 1: on YouTube, saying the daughter is thirteen years old. I'm
Speaker 1: looking under she just appeared in court. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: some of the newest headlines on this. Okay, hold on,
Speaker 1: I take that back, because there is aren't there some
Speaker 1: like Romeo and Juliette Laws where if this daughter was seventeen,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I still think twenty might be a
Speaker 1: little too too much of a gap for that.
Speaker 3: The daughter's thirteen.
Speaker 1: The person was correct on that, Yeah, yeah, but the
Speaker 1: thirteen year old called the twenty year old over. So
Speaker 1: the twenty year old could be like, hey, maybe this
Speaker 1: is not an appropriate relationship, maybe I'm not supposed to
Speaker 1: be having sex with her or whatever, but she invited
Speaker 1: me into the house at one am. Okay, here's another question.
Speaker 1: So the thirteen year old, we know, legally cannot give
Speaker 1: legal consent to have the twenty relations with the.
Speaker 3: Twenty year old, right right, right, right right.
Speaker 1: However, can the thirteen year old legally invite a twenty
Speaker 1: year old over to her house? I think she can
Speaker 1: and if she can, that's a big game changer. However,
Speaker 1: the mom might go, I didn't know who this person was.
Speaker 1: There's a man under my teenage daughter's bet. But that
Speaker 1: was your opportunity. That was your opportunity to be like,
Speaker 1: whoa hold on, you know, and shoot there. Maybe once
Speaker 1: the kid is grabbing all of his stuff and scurrying
Speaker 1: out of the house and on the front porch, and
Speaker 1: you shoot him in the back of the head, it
Speaker 1: looks like like.
Speaker 3: You've murdered this person.
Speaker 1: They found the body on the front porch. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what they said. Not good for the mother. Not good.
Speaker 1: John disagrees. John says the mother did nothing wrong. The
Speaker 1: story from People says the mother in Tennessee has been
Speaker 1: charged of first degree murder. Officers responded to a shooting
Speaker 1: in Memphis, Tennessee about one forty am. They found this
Speaker 1: guy in the front yard. Police then spoke to the resident.
Speaker 1: She said she saw a dude under her kid's bed.
Speaker 1: I did what I needed to do. It confirms that
Speaker 1: the daughter was thirteen years old. Let me see if
Speaker 1: there's anything else in this other report on this that
Speaker 1: we're all caught up on the story. This is another
Speaker 1: report from WREG about this same case. Let's see what
Speaker 1: they said.
Speaker 22: Tonight's Prime Alert. A local mother is charged with shooting
Speaker 22: and killing a man who was found hiding under her
Speaker 22: challeng's bed only yesterday morning. Wrig's Kaitlin Barker is live
Speaker 22: in the neighborhood where the shooting took place with the
Speaker 22: latest on what happened.
Speaker 15: Caitlin, Good afternoon, Stephanie.
Speaker 23: This shooting took place here at around one forty am,
Speaker 23: and it happened at this home right across from me
Speaker 23: on Travis h.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a rough looking neighborhood here, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is a duplex. I think it's
Speaker 1: a duplex because I'm seeing two different addresses on the
Speaker 1: side of this house.
Speaker 3: So it's a duplex, is what it looks like.
Speaker 1: And the daughter who is thirteen, invited over a twenty
Speaker 1: year old at almost two o'clock in the morning. Twenty
Speaker 1: year old comes over. Mom knocks on the door, goes
Speaker 1: what's going on in there. Mom kicks into the room
Speaker 1: and she looks under the bench. She sees this twenty
Speaker 1: year old in her thirteen year old daughter's room and
Speaker 1: she's got a gun. Thirteen year old goes, I was
Speaker 1: scared because mom said if she found anybody like this
Speaker 1: in my room, she might shoot him. Mom chases him
Speaker 1: out and then somewhere around the front yard they have
Speaker 1: an interaction to the mom kills me.
Speaker 23: Now, this all happened after a mother found a man
Speaker 23: in her house. She says he was hiding under a
Speaker 23: child's bed. When police arrived, they found the man dead
Speaker 23: near the front porch. Now, the woman, thirty six year
Speaker 23: old Kindra Scott, now faces multiple charges, including first degree
Speaker 23: murder and employment of a farm.
Speaker 15: During the commission of a dangerous felony.
Speaker 23: The man who was shot has now been identified as
Speaker 23: Rdarius Morton.
Speaker 15: According to police, Morton.
Speaker 23: Was invited by a child to the home and came
Speaker 23: in through the back door at one am.
Speaker 15: The arrest affidavit says.
Speaker 1: There is something to that, like, if you're being invited
Speaker 1: by a thirteen year old girl into her house at
Speaker 1: one am in the back door, you know you're doing
Speaker 1: something wrong. Correct, doesn't mean you should be shot. Doesn't
Speaker 1: mean you should be shot, but you know that you're
Speaker 1: sneaking around and doing something wrong with a teenager with
Speaker 1: a thirteen year old girl barely a teen.
Speaker 23: Kendrascott came home. She was heard banging on the front
Speaker 23: door and yelling, who's at my house? Once the child
Speaker 23: opened the door, Morton was found hiding under the child's bed.
Speaker 23: As Morton was leaving the house, both Scott and Morton
Speaker 23: went out to the front porch, and that's when the
Speaker 23: juvenile says she heard a gun shot. Morton was found
Speaker 23: shot in the back of the head. Now, I spoke
Speaker 23: with one neighbor who says he feels bad for everyone involved.
Speaker 3: So and the boy family sends to steal I'm walking away.
Speaker 1: And I.
Speaker 3: Couldn't really hear what he said, but she should shot.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what he said was something like that,
Speaker 1: what do you guys think? None of this sounds good
Speaker 1: for the mother here, it says. The teen eventually let
Speaker 1: her mother inside, where Scott allegedly found Morton hiding under
Speaker 1: her bed. Get out of my house, bitch, she allegedly screamed,
Speaker 1: and followed Morton out the front door he was leaving. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that sounds like but a lot of you are
Speaker 1: gonna be like, Nope, don't be in the house.
Speaker 3: This is here.
Speaker 1: Somebody says, if you're an adult chasing thirteen year old skirts.
Speaker 1: I hope you get shot. Yeah, well do you think?
Speaker 1: Folks let us know YouTube Twitch, send your dispatches and
Speaker 1: emails on the way out, because when we come back,

Speaker 1: Like how he specified that too? He I thought he
Speaker 1: was gonna say sit down. No, he he went for it.
Speaker 1: He screamed at that dog into.
Speaker 24: A place of intolerance and racial.
Speaker 1: By the way, they're asking him if his party is
Speaker 1: like being too racist or something. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on here right Like, I don't know what's happening on,
Speaker 1: if this guy's cool or racist or based or whatever,

Speaker 1: I wonder did that dog immediately heal when this Barnaby
Speaker 1: Joyce person screamed at them live on camera. New York
Speaker 1: School District is the first in the United States to
Speaker 1: introduce a humanoid robot in the classroom. Sally will have
Speaker 1: a Western New York accent, and we'll teach eleventh and
Speaker 1: twelfth grade students at Salamanca High School. Sally costs less
Speaker 1: than the average teacher salary in New York, with a
Speaker 1: price sec of fifty seven thousand dollars. Is this Sally? Here?
Speaker 5: Do I make emotional connections by learning your preferences, remembering
Speaker 5: past conversations with custom.
Speaker 1: Memory the garbage robot.
Speaker 21: And responding in ways that feel personal and consistent over time.
Speaker 1: Bro, the photograph of the robot teacher in the classroom
Speaker 1: with the real kids is dystopian as hell. This is
Speaker 1: what's that robo teacher? Although the kids don't know how
Speaker 1: to read, so maybe the robot will do better. I
Speaker 1: don't know what to think about this whole thing. This
Speaker 1: can't possibly be good, though it can't. One of those
Speaker 1: kids just drop kicks that robot and then it's the
Speaker 1: kids classroom. Now I'm the captain. Now moment it could
Speaker 1: be the case, and all right, I want to make
Speaker 1: sure because somebody just complained about this. I get some

Speaker 18: against the toe of your left foot.
Speaker 1: Why even do this? Yeah, I mean, why do you
Speaker 1: didn't do the field sobriety exercises with this woman. I
Speaker 1: have a visual breathalyzer and it is pinging right now.
Speaker 1: It is really really I wonder if there's some situation
Speaker 1: in which it would be unsafe to deliver field sobriety
Speaker 1: exercises or to administer them to a person who clearly
Speaker 1: cannot walk. If there was a situation, this would be
Speaker 1: it that you're looking at.

Speaker 1: bit today. All right, Let's get the hell out of here,
Speaker 1: let's do today.
Speaker 11: I learn the following information may make you feel smarter,
Speaker 11: but will not actually increase your IQ, So don't get cocky.
Speaker 1: What we call today today I learned for a Monday,
Speaker 1: July twentieth, twenty twenty six. How's this for an invention
Speaker 1: that didn't catch on? In eighteen eighty two, James Alexander
Speaker 1: Williams patented a mouse trap. At that time, the mouse
Speaker 1: trap killed the animal by firing off a pistol. It
Speaker 1: noted it could also be used to kill any person
Speaker 1: or thing opening the door or window. It was attached
Speaker 1: to gunpowered mouse trap. Well, the gunpowered mouse trap did
Speaker 1: not catch on in one way. To the picture of
Speaker 1: the drawing from the patent is hilarious. It's a little
Speaker 1: bit overkill. And today learned this lady right here some
Speaker 1: shakira right say it twice? The Shakira lady from the
Speaker 1: World Cup halftime show was rejected from her school choir
Speaker 1: because the teacher thought she sounded like a goat. Look
Speaker 1: at her now, teacher, huh, look at her now? She
Speaker 1: think you so sounds like a goat. We appreciate you
Speaker 1: hanging out with us. She might have been right about that,
Speaker 1: very talented goat. We're back tomorrow, same time, same place.
Speaker 1: Listen to the show, get the podcast OVERTHEWS junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow, everybody else.
Speaker 18: I never really knew that she could danced like this.
Speaker 18: She make up the head when its spending. She course
Speaker 18: your money
Speaker 10: Because Shakira, oh baby, when you talk, you made the
Speaker 10: woman come
