Speaker 1: How is everybody doing on odesday? Yeah, we got the
Speaker 1: big event tomorrow. Oh my god, man, yep, yep to
Speaker 1: the roast event. Sold out roast coming up tomorrow. So
Speaker 1: we're excited about that. Lots of stuff going on today,
Speaker 1: and we'll just start out as we always do. Let's
Speaker 1: put our ears to the ground, our fingers on the
Speaker 1: pulse list, see what was happening to this great, big,
Speaker 1: wide world of ours, and let's go to the world
Speaker 1: of sports. Everybody else where we along. We belong in
Speaker 1: the world of sports. In fact, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys knew that, but ESPN called us the other
Speaker 1: day and they were like, we don't like to.
Speaker 2: Talk about it a lot.
Speaker 1: We know you are the best of the best at
Speaker 1: this and we we will forever have to be enemies
Speaker 1: because of it.
Speaker 3: And we're my god, you guys call us every week
Speaker 3: to say the same thing.
Speaker 1: We know, we know we have us alone, all right, enough,
Speaker 1: stad up, we go to a man on NBC Sports
Speaker 1: who he's very unsure of when he should start talking
Speaker 1: on live television.
Speaker 2: So that happens.
Speaker 1: He stares directly at the camera awkwardly, until, of all things,
Speaker 1: the ref does that what to call him in basketball,
Speaker 1: so's the referee at The referee in basketball hits him
Speaker 1: on the acid, tells him to get the hell off
Speaker 1: the court.
Speaker 2: Here we go staring at the camera, just looking. Tonight's
Speaker 2: game marks.
Speaker 3: The sixty first time that hurry is played against Oh.
Speaker 2: Hold on, I'll go back.
Speaker 1: I want to pump up the volume a little bit here.
Speaker 1: Grant Liftman is the guy's name. And the ref comes
Speaker 1: over to Grant Lyftman, who is just staring at the camera,
Speaker 1: and the ref hits him on the ass and goes,
Speaker 1: get get off, get off the court.
Speaker 3: Tonight's game marks the sixty first time.
Speaker 2: He slaps him on the ass. Get out of here, Greg.
Speaker 3: And is there a difference between like, hey, you did
Speaker 3: a great job during the sport, like smack on the
Speaker 3: butt versus get out of the shot? Well, is there
Speaker 3: a bit of a grab when you're doing well as
Speaker 3: an athlete.
Speaker 1: I'll have to tell you personally, I'm a bad person asked.
Speaker 3: This question because you're grabbing everyone to ask.
Speaker 1: Us that happens in the sports world. And I haven't
Speaker 1: had many as laps in my time.
Speaker 4: I have not had like most of mine have been
Speaker 4: outside of the sports world just extra sport.
Speaker 1: Yeah you care to expand on that anymore? You just
Speaker 1: want to leave it right there?
Speaker 2: A few Tom all right, hot.
Speaker 1: I only regret that I talked over that a little bit.
Speaker 1: That's the truth. Sent in the morning.
Speaker 2: Grant liked it.
Speaker 1: I think you know it comes up for him a
Speaker 1: little bit there. Get off the court, sir. We're playing
Speaker 1: a basketball game. What's this weird like blowback? I'm sure
Speaker 1: this is going to be part of it. But there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of people complaining about this return of the
Speaker 1: NBA on NBC, and they're like, the team games are
Speaker 1: messing up.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm screwing up left and right.
Speaker 1: God forbid a new broadcast team. Have a couple of
Speaker 1: bumps here and there, it's gonna happen, everybody.
Speaker 3: What kind of bumps?
Speaker 1: I guess there was some mics cutting out, and there's
Speaker 1: been more little issues here and there.
Speaker 4: They got a bunch of brand new, you know, nice
Speaker 4: looking trucks that they're sending all over the country.
Speaker 3: So clearly the budget was used for the trucks and
Speaker 3: the overall purchase, and they only had a little bit
Speaker 3: for the talent.
Speaker 1: They still don't have as much as Amazon does for
Speaker 1: the Prime games.
Speaker 2: Have you seen the setup that they have? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: it's crazy.
Speaker 1: This is for real. This is for you folks watching.
Speaker 1: I'll describe it for everybody else when the NBA games
Speaker 1: are on Amazon Primes, right, you got those.
Speaker 2: The people up there got it like the target on
Speaker 2: the other end the NBA. We call this the pre switch.
Speaker 1: This is some defenses that try to target so so
Speaker 1: far just looks like a regular broadcast. This is a
Speaker 1: massive screen that they're standing.
Speaker 2: We did the basketball. This is bridges ready.
Speaker 3: Sts out, whoa are you serious?
Speaker 2: Guys? Is going on here?
Speaker 1: They're walking around on a virtual basketball courts and it
Speaker 1: puts circles underneath them like their players in a video game.
Speaker 1: And they're walking around like showing how these plays.
Speaker 4: This is showing off and they're not showing anything but off.
Speaker 3: And you know what, they got that l ed floor
Speaker 3: because of all the Amazon purchases.
Speaker 1: Folks like us probably we paid for a good portion
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: It turns everything into a massive video game or something.
Speaker 1: And then he's got an iPad that he's like connected
Speaker 1: to this giant screen wheel Like so I would imagine
Speaker 1: if you're a NBC youre going, how come we don't have.
Speaker 2: One of those? Yeah, where's our thing?
Speaker 3: We were like one a Are they going to just
Speaker 3: throw run an invisible ball?
Speaker 2: Does he have a ball?
Speaker 4: I don't know if they there's a ball denoted on
Speaker 4: the floor somewhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah there is.
Speaker 1: With what he's here, I don't know, you know, And
Speaker 1: honestly I didn't watch. I don't know where it goes,
Speaker 1: but yeah, they go out there. It's just a giant screen.
Speaker 1: It's it's been pretty common that in these sporting broadcast areas,
Speaker 1: as they call them, the background is a massive screen.
Speaker 1: It's massive on you know, cable news and all these
Speaker 1: other words. But the floor, the entire floor of this
Speaker 1: place is like an incredible.
Speaker 2: Screen that they're all walking on. Cool.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's just like a green screen on
Speaker 1: the ground or something.
Speaker 3: We're getting to buy that it's led like they could.
Speaker 2: See it, like they're walking on top of it.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how it's working, but it's pretty crazy
Speaker 1: over there, so maybe they're mad about that.
Speaker 3: The runner up.
Speaker 1: By the way, I should at least show you guys
Speaker 1: this if you haven't seen it going mega viral already.
Speaker 1: This is allegedly from a drone show in Atlanta. Have
Speaker 1: you seen this? Have you seen the Atlanta? All right,
Speaker 1: I put this up on see it now. So since
Speaker 1: we're visual heavy, here, take a look at this when
Speaker 1: you get a chance.
Speaker 2: Okay, a drone show in Atlanta. Here you go.
Speaker 1: All right, it's coming together. Yeah, you see the drones
Speaker 1: lining up in formation, and.
Speaker 3: So much joy of drones.
Speaker 1: Like a twirking lady with a big ass doing a
Speaker 1: handstand and she's.
Speaker 2: Made out of drones.
Speaker 1: We have peaked, we have peaked, We got basketball courts, screens.
Speaker 3: Does she shake your ass or is just like that?
Speaker 2: It just kind of moves around.
Speaker 3: Let's drone engineers and let's get that booty clapping please
Speaker 3: right next leup.
Speaker 1: But the problem is the height of this world, I
Speaker 1: think is at like the theme.
Speaker 2: Parks, and they don't really have the balls to do this.
Speaker 1: They this is it not in their terrortory, not family friendly.
Speaker 1: All right. We have so many things to talk about.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about these escape lab monkeys. We'll get to
Speaker 1: that in a bit here, and everything else in the
Speaker 1: the intro, and so many more things today on the show.
Speaker 1: But one of the biggest things making waves online that
Speaker 1: it's going viral basically everywhere you might look.
Speaker 2: Over the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: It's something you could buy if you want, but I
Speaker 1: want to see how everybody feels about this. Okay, so

Speaker 5: Safe doesn't mean limited. Neo's hardware comes packed with features.
Speaker 5: Let's get the level nexsterity and a fifty five pound
Speaker 5: caring capacity so they can handle any of your chores reliably.
Speaker 5: We also worked really hard to make Neo's design friendly
Speaker 5: and comfortable to be around. Each Neo comes with the
Speaker 5: machine washable knit suit ahead.
Speaker 3: And it's gonna wash.
Speaker 2: Its own clothes. I'm saying, yeah yeah. And you're going
Speaker 2: to do its own laundry, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's got washable clothes and he can
Speaker 1: wash clothes, I would expect Neo to be doing this work.
Speaker 1: They're saying it looks amazing. I would buy one. The
Speaker 1: reasons one point two million.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 1: It's not one point two million. I'll tell you the
Speaker 1: price on this in a second. So this thing, could,
Speaker 1: you know, pick up your your deliveries. So let's say
Speaker 1: that you order a bunch of stuff. You order a
Speaker 1: big bag of rice, cat litter, a couple of car batteries,
Speaker 1: as one does.
Speaker 3: Do you recent order from Amazon?
Speaker 1: I had to get it from somewhere, so I figured
Speaker 1: that was a good And the door, you know, somebody
Speaker 1: shows up the door. It's the Amazon delivery driver and you, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not home. Your little Neo robot guy to the
Speaker 1: front door. I don't know if it can yet, but
Speaker 1: it can open the front door. It can pick up
Speaker 1: all your packages, bring it inside, stack your packages up
Speaker 1: wherever you instruct it to, and get ready for the day.
Speaker 4: It said it has a fifty five pound capacity for lift. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that thing could pick up Jackson, yes.
Speaker 1: Right now, Yeah, yeah, Neo the Robot babysitter.
Speaker 2: But potentially let's see.
Speaker 3: If they in the room shaking Jackson.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a little really.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've hired out all the kinks
Speaker 1: in the software just yet.
Speaker 4: My guess is that the for insurance purposes, the folks
Speaker 4: that are designing Neo the Robot specifically programmed it not
Speaker 4: to pick up human babies.
Speaker 1: This is crazy, though, it's absolutely we all get this
Speaker 1: up on c it now too. But this is a
Speaker 1: real human size robot that has gone on sale right.
Speaker 2: Now called the Customized to fit your style.
Speaker 5: As for using your Neo, we made the experience simple
Speaker 5: all right out of the box. The core of your
Speaker 5: experience is fully autonomous.
Speaker 1: Oh dude, it's like born in a little egg. There's
Speaker 1: like a robosird.
Speaker 3: What are you supposed to do with that? Leave it
Speaker 3: on the curb.
Speaker 1: Just I want you guys to play a log here,
Speaker 1: hold on, go the website after like John Hammond style,
Speaker 1: push push, yeah, any break open the egg. Go to
Speaker 1: the websites. You guys can see this thing. It's legitimately real.
Speaker 1: Go to onex dot tech, one x dot t e
Speaker 1: h slash. Well, I guess if you just go to
Speaker 1: the site, you'll see the order or form and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. You can pick the color. I'll go back
Speaker 1: to the promo video in a second. But you could
Speaker 1: you could get it for five hundred dollars a month
Speaker 1: or twenty thousand dollars and deliver it.
Speaker 2: To your house.
Speaker 3: Seems low?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah?
Speaker 3: Or is a subscription so.
Speaker 1: Well, you could do twenty k if you want to
Speaker 1: buy it, or you could do the monthly plan. But
Speaker 1: does that plan do you own it at the end
Speaker 1: of you know, the right amount of great question?
Speaker 2: Forty months.
Speaker 3: I mean they're saying just three bullet points attached to
Speaker 3: a twenty thousand dollars bill is ownership with three year warranty,
Speaker 3: premium support, priority delivery.
Speaker 1: That's okay, Well, it is new, it's brand new. They
Speaker 1: just launched this. I want to know more about what
Speaker 1: this thing's going to do for us, because everybody's saying
Speaker 1: they want it. I want it, says Tony. Everybody sying
Speaker 1: they're wanting it.
Speaker 3: Creepy.
Speaker 2: They just dropped the Honestly, well, this.
Speaker 4: Is if you look at on the website onex dot
Speaker 4: tech slash Neo, and that the first thing of the
Speaker 4: guy with his arm around it. It is one of
Speaker 4: I think the lesser creepy of the robots that I've
Speaker 4: seen is.
Speaker 2: It because it doesn't have a mouth. It only has
Speaker 2: has two eyes on it.
Speaker 1: So this you can get in three different colors gray, white,
Speaker 1: and black, I believe, And it's five 't six.
Speaker 2: It's human like.
Speaker 1: The face is kind of sweet looking because it only
Speaker 1: has like two button eyes.
Speaker 3: The button eyes are kind of creepy.
Speaker 1: And then big blowing circles for ears. It's like ahead
Speaker 1: of a smart speaker or something kind of thing. And
Speaker 1: now you get it at your house and look, oh,
Speaker 1: it's got accessories.
Speaker 2: It's got its own room.
Speaker 1: It's got Neo's got his own room with his own
Speaker 1: like accessories and boots and extra clothes.
Speaker 3: And getting the vibe that their demo at least off
Speaker 3: the bat is older people.
Speaker 6: Uh huh?
Speaker 3: Is it only a three year warranty because they're not
Speaker 3: being around five years?
Speaker 2: Could an old person do this?
Speaker 1: I think the old person would get the egg delivery
Speaker 1: and be like, my neo humanoid robot, what do I
Speaker 1: do now?
Speaker 2: What does it do for me? Well, let's see.
Speaker 5: Out of the box, the core of your experience is
Speaker 5: fully autonomous. The chorice feature, let's your schedule a time
Speaker 5: for your neo to do all of your chores so
Speaker 5: you can come back to a cleaner vacuuming. With the
Speaker 5: AI Companion feature, you can talk to your neo to
Speaker 5: get as system.
Speaker 1: Oh dude, it shows it with the old guy and
Speaker 1: it's getting his medicine.
Speaker 2: It's no.
Speaker 3: Now real question though they're rolling it out. They say,
Speaker 3: you know, early twenty twenty six. But these commercials so
Speaker 3: are human and robot costume?
Speaker 1: Uh right, Yeah, they're suggesting that this is really Neo,
Speaker 1: the five foot six or whatever robot, that this is
Speaker 1: not like some sort of some sort of a person
Speaker 1: in the costume pretending to you know, move around like
Speaker 1: a robot.
Speaker 2: There's more on what this thing does. Well, here's what
Speaker 2: we'll do.
Speaker 1: We'll take a little break and when we come back,
Speaker 1: I'll give you the full rundown of the features of
Speaker 1: this thing, and we'll talk about if you would ever
Speaker 1: get one of these in your house. It's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: It just like pops out. Hey, By the way, you
Speaker 1: can buy a humanoid robot now there's a controversy over
Speaker 1: something at sea Lane watched recently that we've got to
Speaker 1: talk about some emails, rolling in a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: to get to today.
Speaker 2: Honest, a very busy day on the show.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have some fun, so do come along with
Speaker 1: all of that is coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 1: This could be just nothing, just a blip out there,
Speaker 1: or it could be the introduction to the inevitable future
Speaker 1: where robots are absolutely everywhere. And I'm talking about this
Speaker 1: product that they just kind of dropped.
Speaker 2: On us this week. They're like, hey, you know, nothing
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 1: To the news cycle other than some hurricanes smacking Jamaica.
Speaker 2: Let's pop something out there. Oh here you go, by the.
Speaker 1: Way, you could buy a robot and the robot will
Speaker 1: go around and do your chores at home. And you
Speaker 1: just go to a website and you're like, okay, I
Speaker 1: want either the white one or the I don't even
Speaker 1: know if this is like a gray one or a
Speaker 1: black one.
Speaker 3: And it's just so interesting because something technology like this,
Speaker 3: you think a teaser and it'll be available if you
Speaker 3: put down a deposit in twenty thirty and they are
Speaker 3: prepared to do this in less than six months have
Speaker 3: them led out?
Speaker 1: They say twenty twenty six. US delivery start in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. And the question that's been firing up chat
Speaker 1: is would you have a robot like this in your house?
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you when I saw this and I'm
Speaker 1: looking at this neo robot for twenty thousand dollars, Courtney's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't want a robot in our house.
Speaker 1: I don't want a robot one wrench. She goes to
Speaker 1: staying in the studio.
Speaker 3: What about for months?
Speaker 1: She goes, I go, but it can do like the
Speaker 1: dishes and the chores, and it could. And She's like, now,
Speaker 1: I don't want that thing around here. And it's twenty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and I could find better ways to spend
Speaker 1: that money.
Speaker 4: She said, I have I think a different take on this.
Speaker 4: You and Courtney are home more than I am. Probably yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: so I would think this would be awesome to go
Speaker 4: all right, I h you know, I get get the
Speaker 4: baby ready and uh hop in the car, leave. Robot
Speaker 4: does all the dishes, vacuums, right, you know, does a
Speaker 4: bunch of cool stuff. And then after work, I have
Speaker 4: a great looking home to come home too, and I
Speaker 4: can focus more on getting doing stuff that I want
Speaker 4: to do, hanging out with the baby. I don't have
Speaker 4: to like quarantine him in the living room while I'm
Speaker 4: doing dishes.
Speaker 1: That's that I mean, as anti robot as I am,
Speaker 1: that's how I kind of feel about it.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean when I would by.
Speaker 2: This guy away like I would, I would walk him
Speaker 2: in a room.
Speaker 1: When I'm not there like a roomba, and then when
Speaker 1: I'm when I'm gone, I.
Speaker 4: Have a guest room that's not being used. As long
Speaker 4: as this robot can go up and downstairs, it can
Speaker 4: just walk in there.
Speaker 2: And plug itself into a charger for the night. I
Speaker 2: would never have to see it.
Speaker 3: It is looking out your front window and you see
Speaker 3: a robot walking car picking up this poop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right right, totally possible. I mean for real. And
Speaker 2: see if this is a what about called neo that
Speaker 2: is real?
Speaker 1: You can order it and it's about five foot six
Speaker 1: would they say fifty five or sixty pounds and.
Speaker 4: Weighs sixty six pounds and it can hold up to
Speaker 4: fifty five.
Speaker 1: So it could pick up bags of stuff from your groceries.
Speaker 1: Cat litter, you know, whatever it is, pick up your
Speaker 1: stuff and bring it inside, and it's just very weird.
Speaker 1: I want to go to the promo video for this because.
Speaker 3: I want to know more of the season questions.
Speaker 1: But they show it with like an old dude, which
Speaker 1: is such a dystopian, weirdo future. It's like the old
Speaker 1: guy has a robot best friend, and the old guy's like, uh.
Speaker 3: These the pills I take today. Yeah, that old guy
Speaker 3: was around for the invention of color television. Now it's
Speaker 3: never interacting with a robot.
Speaker 2: I also want to see in this.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard from Neo, so I want to know
Speaker 1: what NEO sounds like too. So we'll get through this
Speaker 1: and then we'll make our decisions. Do we want one
Speaker 1: of these twenty thousand dollars robots in our house?
Speaker 5: Here we go with anything from a hard question to
Speaker 5: a household task with neot access to all its features
Speaker 5: to get help with tasks on demand, and the Neo
Speaker 5: app lets you interact with your Neo from anywhere. But
Speaker 5: all you have to do to get started is turn
Speaker 5: on your Neo and introduce yourself.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, he shows up in an egg, so
Speaker 1: the robot comes to life.
Speaker 2: I'm Neo. I'm here to help around the hell that guy,
Speaker 2: guess what's your name? A nice to meet you, Harry
Speaker 2: when you have a question or want something done.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, he wants to bang the robot real quick.
Speaker 1: Just just so you know, this guy is looking dead
Speaker 1: in the eyes of his brand new robot Neo that's
Speaker 1: five foot six and he is about what you say,
Speaker 1: eight inches ten inches from his face.
Speaker 3: Is And then he's sizing it up like a little
Speaker 3: drool is about to come out of his mouth.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's trying to intimidate the robot. He's like, look,
Speaker 1: just so you know, I still run this place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, romo, bitch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you ever get hacked or do something stupid, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna really smash it to bits, buddy. So he's meeting
Speaker 1: the robot. He's meeting the robot, let me know. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the wife meeting it, she's trying to hide from it.
Speaker 1: It follows her around even if she's as close as
Speaker 1: you got. All Right, chores, what kind of chores could
Speaker 1: this thing do?
Speaker 5: We built the chorest feature to give you your time back.
Speaker 5: You give your Neo a list of chores, you schedule
Speaker 5: a time that you want them done so that you
Speaker 5: can focus on what matters to you while your neo
Speaker 5: doesn't see.
Speaker 2: This is exactly what Celin was saying.
Speaker 1: Like you say, hey, I'll be doing the news junkie
Speaker 1: radio show from this time to this time. While I'm
Speaker 1: doing that, I have a huge pile of laundry right here,
Speaker 1: and the trash.
Speaker 2: Needs to be taken out.
Speaker 1: And then the robot goes mess address eved and does
Speaker 1: the all the work and then thetelene comes back.
Speaker 2: It's just done.
Speaker 3: Now do they have some fun options? I hope maybe
Speaker 3: some people need companionship, or they just bought a ping
Speaker 3: pong table. I need actually use it.
Speaker 2: Well do you think? What do you think the chances
Speaker 2: you trying to hear about your ping pong table?
Speaker 3: It's very sad. I was so excited once I got
Speaker 3: in and realized after in boxing, I had no one
Speaker 3: to play with.
Speaker 2: You need a neo.
Speaker 1: Now you're just twenty thousand dollars away from a partner
Speaker 1: to this ping pong with you.
Speaker 2: What do you want to bet? Shoot? I wonder if
Speaker 2: they do show up playing ping pong.
Speaker 1: I think at least they'll show up playing like chess
Speaker 1: with an old man.
Speaker 2: I think they'll be like.
Speaker 3: Companionship and kicking his ass in chess.
Speaker 1: And they'll have the neo sitting there, and then you
Speaker 1: could probably like set it to beginner, intermediate or advanced
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 2: Let's see what they do.
Speaker 5: You can schedule chores, but by either talking to your
Speaker 5: neo or using the app. The way it works is
Speaker 5: you schedule a time that works best for you, and
Speaker 5: then you create a list of chorices. Whether it's something
Speaker 5: more specific, what do I want to plants on Tuesdays,
Speaker 5: there's something more general like tidying the house, NIL will
Speaker 5: get it done at the scheduled time. If there any
Speaker 5: chores that your neo hasn't learned how to do autonomously,
Speaker 5: you can use expert mode to have an expert from
Speaker 5: one X supervise the session and provide corrective internment.
Speaker 1: Okay, great, So somebody at HQ watches the robot through
Speaker 1: its camera eyes and watches it move around the house
Speaker 1: and do whatever your chores is.
Speaker 2: This is where I'm feeling people fall off.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's so weird. The house is a mess, but
Speaker 3: my underwear is perfectly folded.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a little invasive. I think you got this
Speaker 1: thing spying on you and at HQ they're robo controlling a.
Speaker 2: Task all right.
Speaker 1: It's doing laundry, tiding it up, picking up stuff from
Speaker 1: around the house. It's all useful stuff, time savers, arranging
Speaker 1: the shoes, cleaning the bedroom.
Speaker 2: How is it picking up toys? It's vacuuming with the
Speaker 2: dice and vacuum.
Speaker 5: Anytime you're away from home and you want to see
Speaker 5: what your neo is up to, you can open the
Speaker 5: app and see directly from neo's point of view.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, you can check in on it. That's cool.
Speaker 3: That loves school. But then you open up your phone
Speaker 3: and it's staring into the mirror right at you.
Speaker 2: Sad neck.
Speaker 1: It's now come to life that this could happen. So
Speaker 1: these are just half on it.
Speaker 3: We'll do the monthly. No, we'll get it for like.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah months, and then we'll abandon it.
Speaker 3: Up, go away in your pod.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I think it's interesting. I want to
Speaker 1: know if people would allow it to these into their house.
Speaker 1: They show it washing dishes, you know, they show it
Speaker 1: like cleaning the bathroom and all that stuff that you
Speaker 1: can ask it questions like hey, this this old man
Speaker 1: saying I can't seem to find my glasses, and.
Speaker 2: He was like, your glasses were dis covered and that
Speaker 2: you know. Uh. Then the old guy goes Africa.
Speaker 1: No, it's cayenne pepper, and your glasses are on your shirt.
Speaker 1: Can we hear this? I wonder if they actually show this.
Speaker 1: Here's some interactions. They don't have to do any work now,
Speaker 1: so they're just chilling. They're just hanging out on the couch.
Speaker 3: Healthy rich.
Speaker 4: My companion, they got a twenty thousand dollars robot, whole thousands.
Speaker 2: Now I can't see to find my glasses. Is this paprika? No,
Speaker 2: that's cayenne pepper. Also, your glasses are on your shirt.
Speaker 1: That's weird, man, that is weird. Oh, let's see if
Speaker 1: there's anything else. Artificial intelligence. Oh this, this shows it
Speaker 1: playing cards, I think, which it.
Speaker 2: Says on the companion section.
Speaker 4: Ask neo questions and get instant access to knowledge, personalized intelligence,
Speaker 4: or even a joke.
Speaker 3: Oh you can.
Speaker 4: You can ask it anything, history, recipes, advice and get
Speaker 4: real time answers.
Speaker 2: That's probably more of an AI. Thing.
Speaker 4: Pairs visual and spatial awareness with memory to personalized interactions, shares, joke, stories,
Speaker 4: and games.
Speaker 2: That does say games.
Speaker 4: I don't know what kind of games for lively natural conversations.
Speaker 2: I'm curious.
Speaker 4: I've only seen holding stuff a couple times in this video.
Speaker 4: Does it seem to have five digits as far as fingers?
Speaker 4: I know, I saw a thumb in there, but are
Speaker 4: the rest of the fingers like fully kind of?
Speaker 2: I think?
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 1: This is an actual product that you could buy right now,
Speaker 1: five foot six robot that does chores in your house.
Speaker 2: And in this case, they have it opened the door.
Speaker 2: So let's see if they show the.
Speaker 8: Hand get the door here he goes, walks over. It's
Speaker 8: not super fast, but it's not and he gets the door.
Speaker 8: He opens the door for the guests too.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, he's got a gun. Neo's autonomy works
Speaker 3: by taking requests like a.
Speaker 2: New can you take this cup to the sink?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, people are gonna be so fat and
Speaker 1: lazy as already the memes are rolling in, by the way,
Speaker 1: people are saying, how long until we get to this
Speaker 1: and Neo has made a move on the guy's wife
Speaker 1: and Neo in bed with men.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I can his fingers or not. That's
Speaker 3: very important. If that's the case.
Speaker 1: That true. Yeah, gotta see how equipped this neo is
Speaker 1: right now. I mean for twenty grand, really, twenty grand
Speaker 1: doesn't seem that bad. But folks, there you go. That's
Speaker 1: kind of the rundown on this. A few people talking
Speaker 1: about it. Marquis Brownlee, the tech guy, says, so to
Speaker 1: be clear, this is a pre order for a humanoid
Speaker 1: home robot that will cost twenty thousand dollars or five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month when it may be ships next year,
Speaker 1: and currently is not finished. Johannastern got to do a
Speaker 1: demo and its current state and one hundred percent of
Speaker 1: his actions are tele operated. I say that I see
Speaker 1: this as more of a hype real for a thing
Speaker 1: that they're hoping to be able to make some day,
Speaker 1: which is becoming so common with products these days. So
Speaker 1: he's saying that it's not yet there. That's what his
Speaker 1: kind is one of the tech guys.
Speaker 4: Tell operated means one hundred percent of the things that's
Speaker 4: doing are somebody's controlling it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this person was at the launch. I was at
Speaker 1: the Neeo Neo launch last night Palo Alto. For this
Speaker 1: real it was the first time a humanoid felt actually
Speaker 1: safe to be around, lightweight, soft, padded body compliant movements.
Speaker 1: It felt like something I could actually live in a home.
Speaker 1: She said, So all right, there you go. Now you
Speaker 1: know you could buy one if you want. Will you
Speaker 1: have a robot roaming your house and doing your chores?
Speaker 2: Or is this a big fat no for you? Let
Speaker 2: us know what you think.
Speaker 1: Join the show today, record a dispatch at the Newsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com, or email the show tips at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: There you go. When we come back, we'll get into
Speaker 1: some drama over something at Sea Lane just watched. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is high level drama and somebody was injured at
Speaker 1: a theme park again in the most bizarre way you
Speaker 1: could ever think of. In fact, you probably wouldn't think
Speaker 1: of this, But that is coming up next on the
Speaker 1: News junk Key. Sea Lane recently watched this movie. Seems
Speaker 1: like it's a stinker. He doesn't seem to be a
Speaker 1: fan of it.
Speaker 2: It was still number one.
Speaker 4: On Netflix like yesterday or the day before, like after
Speaker 4: after my review of it.
Speaker 1: I didn't take it down. You didn't take it down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this, trust me. It's called The House of Dynamite.
Speaker 1: I guess which is Idris Elba, who's it's strange because
Speaker 1: he's a fantastic actor, but he has been picking some stinkers.
Speaker 3: Man face.
Speaker 2: That was a great paradise, was a good show.
Speaker 1: But as far as movies, he was in that movie
Speaker 1: with uh with uh. Yeah, that was a different guy,
Speaker 1: a different black dudes robots black as you can say that. See,
Speaker 1: I thought it was wrong to pick the black robot.
Speaker 1: I thought that, well, that felt like a bad thing.
Speaker 1: But John Cena and Idris Albat were in that movie
Speaker 1: I think on Netflix perhaps or maybe another service, and
Speaker 1: that was a bomb. It was bad, bad And now
Speaker 1: Eadress Alba picks this movie that is a house of
Speaker 1: dynamite and Selan says, you know, it's not good. It's
Speaker 1: not a good movie. But you're not the only one
Speaker 1: that didn't appreciate this. The US Pentagon is pissed off.
Speaker 2: About this movie.
Speaker 1: The Pentagon is mad about this. A house of dynamite
Speaker 1: movie that is isn't on Netflix. Yes, and hold on,
Speaker 1: they bring this up houses Dynamite.
Speaker 4: Now, the is the Pentagon mad because it would imply
Speaker 4: in the movie that the US is less capable of
Speaker 4: handling something like this than the movie. Because it's not
Speaker 4: like they can reveal any secrets. They would have to
Speaker 4: be told the secrets to reveal them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, This is just a
Speaker 2: it's a work of fiction.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they say the fictional the fictional interceptors
Speaker 1: in the movie miss their target. And we understand this
Speaker 1: is intended to be a compelling part of the drama,
Speaker 1: intended for the entertainment of the audience. This is a
Speaker 1: memo from the Pentagon about this this movie. It goes
Speaker 1: on to note that interceptors have been shown to be
Speaker 1: one hundred percent accurate and tests for several years, and
Speaker 1: also disputes the fifty billion dollars price tag given in
Speaker 1: the movie for their costs. So they're mad because, like
Speaker 1: you just said, Zeelane, like it makes the United States
Speaker 1: seem inept at defending a missile attack on the homeland.
Speaker 1: And the Pentagon was like, hey, not only do we
Speaker 1: think this movie is crap, but it's fake and we're
Speaker 1: mad about it right now.
Speaker 4: I mean, they didn't really have to be all technical
Speaker 4: about it. All they had to say was, listen, we
Speaker 4: watched the movie. It's very unlikely that the technology we
Speaker 4: have would not you know, keep us safe from one missile.
Speaker 4: That's which is the plot of the movie, is that
Speaker 4: there is a whistle inbound that looks like it's going
Speaker 4: to hit Chicago and they're not totally sure where it
Speaker 4: came from. And like they said in the memo, uh,
Speaker 4: they they're kind of spoiling a little bit. But ueah uh,
Speaker 4: there's there's even bigger spoilers and they're they're very disappointing.
Speaker 2: The whole thing. The whole thing.
Speaker 4: What they what they sort of spoil a little bit
Speaker 4: in this memo is that there are I think two
Speaker 4: failed attempts to launch something to intercept this missile in
Speaker 4: the air before it could be in a dangerous spot.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, I've got the response from the people who
Speaker 1: created this in just a moment. But A Penny on
Speaker 1: YouTube says House of Dynamite was absolutely horrible. Not not
Speaker 1: a great reviews coming in so far. Simply Jeremy on
Speaker 1: YouTube says, yeah, I don't agree with Sean.
Speaker 2: The movie was good until the ending.
Speaker 1: The ending sucked, but the movie itself was pretty good.
Speaker 1: To be clear, I haven't seen this movie, so you
Speaker 1: can't disagree with me.
Speaker 2: You disagree with me.
Speaker 4: Simply Jeremy And that's fine, that's totally fine. But in
Speaker 4: my opinion, uh an ending can be so bad that
Speaker 4: it invalidates decent parts of the movie, Like was it
Speaker 4: well acted?
Speaker 2: Yes? Like is Interest Elba good in it? Sure?
Speaker 4: But like you can have like, you know, Interest Elba
Speaker 4: as this really great tool which is his acting ability,
Speaker 4: by having a really nice car, and you can be
Speaker 4: really terrible at driving it.
Speaker 2: True. Yeah, compare fact, drive it off a cliff.
Speaker 1: And this was the equivalent of Netflix driving a car
Speaker 1: off a cliff is what.
Speaker 2: You're really really nice expensive one?
Speaker 3: You know what that means a monthly subscription price will
Speaker 3: go up?
Speaker 1: And just probably ran on YouTube says, maybe Trump will
Speaker 1: shut down Netflix. Well, here's the people who created this
Speaker 1: series House of Dynamite that the Pentagon is mad over
Speaker 1: because it makes the US look like we would lose
Speaker 1: or that we wouldn't shoot down missiles. Catherine Bigelow, She responds,
Speaker 1: and she says, I just state the truth. Here's her comment.
Speaker 1: I just state the truth in this piece. It's all
Speaker 1: about realism and authenticity. Same with Zero Dark thirty and
Speaker 1: same with hurt Locker, even though hert Locker was obviously
Speaker 1: a work of fiction, and this is a work of
Speaker 1: fiction for me. These are pieces that lean in hard
Speaker 1: on realism. You're inviting an audience into, say the battle
Speaker 1: deck of Stratcom. That's a place that's not easily accessible.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to feel authentic. That's my goal, and
Speaker 1: I think we achieved it. That's what she says of
Speaker 1: the Pentagon's criticism of a House of Dynamite, which kind
Speaker 1: of like was a deflection.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like saying, Hey, I'm just making a movie
Speaker 4: about us failing. This is how real it would be
Speaker 4: if we were big fat, stupid failure.
Speaker 2: Yes, whole lot. I haven't seen this heelan.
Speaker 1: Did it make the United States look an ept or
Speaker 1: like we were we were useless in the face of
Speaker 1: anybody bombing us?
Speaker 2: I didn't really.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess if you take the if you
Speaker 4: look at the Pentagon's take on it, it kind of
Speaker 4: but it just it says that we had we had
Speaker 4: preventive measures and they failed. Yeah, and it did not
Speaker 4: explore any other preventative measures, one of which was kind
Speaker 4: of a little bit obvious in my head. But you know,
Speaker 4: it's it's also like it's kind of weird.
Speaker 1: Though because it's a movie, Like, of course there's the
Speaker 1: potential that we wouldn't be able to shoot something down,
Speaker 1: and that's what they're exploring.
Speaker 2: If they're not like the.
Speaker 1: United States is the worst country in the world and
Speaker 1: all of our military as losers, they're not doing that.
Speaker 4: We missed one of those Chinese balloons with a pretty
Speaker 4: expensive missile.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was more than once did. This
Speaker 3: is a work of fiction, and if the authorities that
Speaker 3: are the US Pentagon can't wrap their heads around it,
Speaker 3: that is kind of scary.
Speaker 1: I'm just interested in why they were so offended. And
Speaker 1: I didn't see the movie, so if it's not just
Speaker 1: slamming them and they're just kind of nitpicking that like
Speaker 1: will they be mad if we had a top gun
Speaker 1: and then in top gun like the US didn't win
Speaker 1: or something like, I don't know that you could do
Speaker 1: that way you can. It just seems weird. Let us
Speaker 1: know if you've seen this a house of dynamite. The
Speaker 1: Pentagon is is upset over it. Are you did you
Speaker 1: like it? Maybe you liked it. Somebody's got to like
Speaker 1: this stuff. Let us know what you think. Send a
Speaker 1: dispatch over at THENEWSCHUNKI dot com right now, real quick.
Speaker 4: Body's got to like it because it's got a seventy
Speaker 4: seven percent popcorn Meter, And I find that really crazy.
Speaker 4: How many review I get seventy? Wait, which if popcorn.
Speaker 1: Meters the viewers, right, I always say audience and critics,
Speaker 1: But I.
Speaker 3: Don't know what the I thought it was too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say audience score is the one usually on
Speaker 1: the right where like just people vote.
Speaker 4: In the critics, it says one hundred plus verified, which
Speaker 4: is not a lot.
Speaker 2: I guess is two hundred and five reviews. Uh huh, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that that's low reviews.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times these productions will review
Speaker 1: bomb new stuff, and they'll go in there and like
Speaker 1: kind of set it up so it's so great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is fantastic. I've seen it happen. Cordy found movies.
Speaker 1: A horror movie. She found a horror movie. I think
Speaker 1: I talked about it afterwards, and it had one hundred
Speaker 1: percent Rotten Tomatoes, well over one hundred reviews. She goes,
Speaker 1: we got to watch this. It's like a low budget movie,
Speaker 1: but it's so highly rated. And when we watched it,
Speaker 1: I go, something's not right, and she goes, yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: And we realized that what they did was they filmed
Speaker 1: the entire movie and then they went back and re
Speaker 1: recorded the script with microphones because the audio didn't sound good.
Speaker 3: I feel exactly what movie you're talking about.
Speaker 2: They were like pantomiming on the.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but in the twenties.
Speaker 3: Enough for the entire film, like an outside shot.
Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah it was.
Speaker 4: I just don't trust it. But I'm on Netflix right
Speaker 4: now because I want to. I want to find the
Speaker 4: actual thing that I read before I watched this. Now
Speaker 4: now it's just showing it to me and I don't
Speaker 4: want to watch it. I'm trying to find the page
Speaker 4: for it. And has to dynamite more info that a
Speaker 4: missile on an origin has launched the United States and
Speaker 4: Catherine Bigelow's exceptionally powerful and brilliantly directed thriller. I think
Speaker 4: there was another another quote that was like basically saying
Speaker 4: this is just as thrilling as a horror movie or.
Speaker 1: Something that I was like, all right, uh, nope, uh.
Speaker 2: Well, some people liked it.
Speaker 1: They might have been attached to the film, they might
Speaker 1: have been lighting in sound, but they liked it. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: we'll hear your emails. I got one all cute up here,
Speaker 1: ready to go. We'll get to that in a bit.
Speaker 1: We'll also get to this accident in a theme park.
Speaker 1: You would never guess that somebody would be really badly
Speaker 1: injured like this, but this happened for real, So let's
Speaker 1: talk about it. That's coming up next New US Junkie.
Speaker 1: This time it's SeaWorld where there was an incident. And
Speaker 1: you've had different incidents at these theme parks across the
Speaker 1: span of the year. Here the person who died on
Speaker 1: the Stardust Racers ride at Epic Universe. You had several
Speaker 1: people now that have died in the last two weeks
Speaker 1: on Disney property and perhaps some other things going on there.
Speaker 1: And in this case SeaWorld where there's a roller coaster
Speaker 1: and I've never been on this, but have you guys
Speaker 1: been on the Maco roller coaster?
Speaker 3: Yeah, is a signature coaster with the giant Manta ray, Right,
Speaker 3: is it the.
Speaker 1: One where you're like standing up or something? Isn't there
Speaker 1: something different about it?
Speaker 3: So it was years ago, but I do remember standing
Speaker 3: up almost like you're you're strapped in but you didn't
Speaker 3: have to like hold your legs up. It was just
Speaker 3: the way the seats were that you were kind of standing.
Speaker 2: Let me see bring this up. I thought you were up.
Speaker 2: In Google images you can see how the seating is arranged.
Speaker 1: Okay, did I nail it? It's I don't know. It
Speaker 1: looks like you're kind of riding on a giant Manta ray.
Speaker 1: Is that the point is that? What's going on?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And your feet are hanging loose and you're moving around
Speaker 1: to this large coaster. Says this Manta Ray brings you
Speaker 1: across this roller coaster. Somebody was on this sucker. Her
Speaker 1: name is Hillary Martin. Hillary, I'm so sorry. I am
Speaker 1: so sorry. This is brutal. She visited SeaWorld back in March.
Speaker 1: She goes, let's go on the Maco roller coaster. They said, Hillary,
Speaker 1: are you sure the Maco roller coaster? This is an
Speaker 1: extreme thing, and she goes, I want to do it.
Speaker 1: I want to do it. And they said, Hillary, if
Speaker 1: you're going to get all on the Mako roller coaster,
Speaker 1: you must take everything, and I mean everything out of
Speaker 1: your pockets and put it in the lockers. Take it
Speaker 1: all out because you could cause danger and destruction with it.
Speaker 1: And she said okay, and she emptied her pockets that
Speaker 1: she got on this ride and as she was cruising
Speaker 1: around and if she was flying through the roller coaster
Speaker 1: track on Mako at Sea World, she was hit in
Speaker 1: the face with a duck. A duck flew into her
Speaker 1: face full speed ahead, and it knocked her out cold.
Speaker 1: She completely knocked her out cold.
Speaker 3: Pockets prior to that, no.
Speaker 1: No, nothing, I was just making it dramatic. I was
Speaker 1: just just going through the whole thing.
Speaker 3: And this is not the first time, but it's been
Speaker 3: many years. Of course, the one that comes up is
Speaker 3: can't believe it's not butter guy Fabio, Yeah and destroid that.
Speaker 1: He took a goose to the face. She took a
Speaker 1: duck to the face. And she says See World created
Speaker 1: a zone of danger.
Speaker 2: And it's because of the tilemed.
Speaker 1: And placement near a body of water, which allegedly increases
Speaker 1: the risk of ducks hitting you in the face when
Speaker 1: you're on a roller coaster. She said she suffered permanent
Speaker 1: injury to her body, as well as hospital expenses and
Speaker 1: mental suffering.
Speaker 3: That's a big ass duck.
Speaker 1: So she's going for some money in this lawsuit, and
Speaker 1: she said she is very upset that all of this happened.
Speaker 2: To her on the make O Right.
Speaker 3: She already did. The lawsuit is uncurious wild. An attorney
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, you've got your rights, duck face lady.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I figured that part of the ticket has that tiny, little,
Speaker 3: very fine print of if an animal or an act
Speaker 3: of God happens, that's responsible.
Speaker 4: This is what I think insurance companies would at least
Speaker 4: refer to as an act of God. Yeah, you're outside
Speaker 4: surrounded the Makeo roller coaster with duck food.
Speaker 2: Yeah right.
Speaker 1: They were like, we want to make it more like
Speaker 1: you're out in nature, so we want to encourage some
Speaker 1: ducks to fly by while you're riding on the roller coaster.
Speaker 4: The pipeline surf coaster is I think what Sabrina was
Speaker 4: thinking more about where you're standing up and it looks
Speaker 4: like you're on a giant surfboard.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. Yeah, see that one. I can't remember if
Speaker 2: I rode that one or not.
Speaker 1: Well, this was a full speed duck attack to the face.
Speaker 1: Should she get paid out? Let us know what you think.
Speaker 1: Send a dispatch over at the newsjunkie dot com. Leheva
Speaker 1: Rosta on Twitch watching the show says Plania signage saying
Speaker 1: you ride at your own risk there, right, they're trying.
Speaker 2: To get SeaWorld to foot the bill. Of course.
Speaker 1: Richard on YouTube says, the Makeo Ride is a high
Speaker 1: speed roller coaster that is over a body of water.
Speaker 1: The Manta is a much slower roller coaster where you
Speaker 1: lay down. He is saying, but this lady is not
Speaker 1: happy with her experience. Let us know what you think.
Speaker 1: Send a dispatch over at the newsjunkie dot com. Somebody
Speaker 1: sent in me because we were talking about with Amazon
Speaker 1: Primes NBA basketball cover. They have this this new place
Speaker 1: where they broadcast from and the whole floor is a
Speaker 1: giant screen and they're playing basketball and they're like, they
Speaker 1: look like video game players. They have circles around them,
Speaker 1: and the entire floor.
Speaker 2: Turned into a video game.
Speaker 1: And somebody said, the UCF team played around with this
Speaker 1: not long ago, and they sent over a couple of clips.
Speaker 1: So thank you to whoever sent that.
Speaker 2: This is all right, this is the okay.
Speaker 1: The whole floor is a screen, it's a whole basketball court,
Speaker 1: and it shows it like changing the graphics, updating, and
Speaker 1: it says the UCF logo in this particular case asb
Speaker 1: glass floor.
Speaker 2: There's one more.
Speaker 1: Video them interacting with it again, this is the University
Speaker 1: of Central floor, I guess, all right, And so she's writing,
Speaker 1: actually you could you could use the tablet and like
Speaker 1: write messages actually on the court that you're talking on.
Speaker 2: The whole thing is a giant screen. Bad ass that
Speaker 2: must be so expensive.
Speaker 4: You know what I noticed about the first video you played,
Speaker 4: So the the floor changed and the UCF logo changed,
Speaker 4: and it did an effect, and for a second it
Speaker 4: looked like there was moving lighting across the UCF logo
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh no, there was no lighting,
Speaker 4: that was just the video glass like glass floor video playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it looks.
Speaker 1: Like there's a screen underneath, like a clear basketball court.
Speaker 4: Maybe is that so it's probably just a clear scoring
Speaker 4: like it was. Probably it's probably just like something that's
Speaker 4: clear enough but also sturdy enough that you could stand
Speaker 4: on it and you know, like bounce basketballs on it
Speaker 4: and jump up it down and not hurt the screen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but at what point, like are you dropping a
Speaker 3: fifty pound weight and then.
Speaker 2: Repair it would have to take a lot more than that.
Speaker 1: You have big ass basketball players three hundred poun and
Speaker 1: stuff walking around on this court.
Speaker 2: It's pretty insane.
Speaker 1: I'll put this up right now, crazy basketball court over
Speaker 1: on See It Now go to the news Junkie dot
Speaker 1: com hit to see it Now menu, and you'll see
Speaker 1: exactly what we're talking about here, as well as any
Speaker 1: other visuals that we talk about on the show. Since
Speaker 1: most of you are just listening, we understand that you
Speaker 1: could always watch the show by going over to the
Speaker 1: website thenewsjunkie dot com. More people chiming in about the
Speaker 1: Neo Robot. This robot we talked about on the show,
Speaker 1: and we were saying, it's twenty thousand dollars. It can
Speaker 1: do laundry and dishes and vacuum, and you could schedule
Speaker 1: it to do all your chores while you're gone. It
Speaker 1: could keep your company and hang out with you. And
Speaker 1: back to this woman who attended the launch. She said,
Speaker 1: after attending the Neo Robot launch in Palo Alto, that's
Speaker 1: in California. For me, this was the first time a
Speaker 1: humanoid actually felt safe to be around. Here are my takeaways,
Speaker 1: she says. The price point is the biggest shocker. Twenty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars or four hundred ninety nine dollars a month
Speaker 1: for a general purpose home robot. That's an insanely almost
Speaker 1: unbelievably low. It's the first time a humanoid labor in
Speaker 1: the home feels economically inevitable. The buy button is now live,
Speaker 1: with delivery of these robots supposedly starting in two twenty
Speaker 1: six or twenty twenty six. But if there's one thing
Speaker 1: they have in abundance, it's taste. The design is deliberate,
Speaker 1: cushion body panels on this robot, a nit skin exterior,
Speaker 1: a structure that allows cooling without looking industrial, and it
Speaker 1: feels inviting when you look at it. It's sixty six pounds,
Speaker 1: yet still able to lift around one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: and carry fifty five. Watching the hand dexterity as it
Speaker 1: picked up a drink and handed it to guests was
Speaker 1: especially impressive. Jesus, you just want Neo the robot to
Speaker 1: hand you drinks? Is that what you're looking for? I
Speaker 1: wonder if Neo will make me drinks?
Speaker 2: Maybe? Why not?
Speaker 4: There is on the faq can my Neo cook? And
Speaker 4: it says initially neo cooking capabilities will be restricted from use.
Speaker 4: Plan on having it be able to cook at some
Speaker 4: point it's to save Yeah, Neo can provide you with
Speaker 4: great recipes or help with the cleanup instead.
Speaker 1: Really all right, well we'll take more feedback on this.
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. It's pretty unbelievable. But
Speaker 1: that's somebody who is actually at the event with this
Speaker 1: new robot that they wanted to wander your house. They
Speaker 1: want you to buy one of these, like a roomba,
Speaker 1: but it's five foot six. It's the adorable little thing. Spooky, spooky.
Speaker 1: I agree on the price things, twenty thousand dollars doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like enough. How much is the Boston Dynamics robot.
Speaker 3: Dogred way more hundreds?
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly how there.
Speaker 1: Somebody shoot a search to that and see if we
Speaker 1: can find out how much the Boston Dynamics robot.
Speaker 3: Dogs now cause twenty thousand kind of screams to me.
Speaker 3: We're going to sell your data.
Speaker 2: M h.
Speaker 3: And that's part conditions.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of data. They said, how will it
Speaker 2: use my data?
Speaker 4: Data collected from real world tasks refines Neo's based intelligence
Speaker 4: and performance, advancing Neo's autonomous capabilities and safety. Says, we
Speaker 4: do not use this data to build a profile of you,
Speaker 4: nor do we sell it if you don't want to
Speaker 4: participate in helping improve NEO further.
Speaker 2: You can always opt out.
Speaker 1: So when I look at the Boston Dynamics robot dog
Speaker 1: spot it was around seventy four thousand when it went
Speaker 1: on sale.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty. People can go all these, you can.
Speaker 1: It can go a lot higher if you get it
Speaker 1: with a bunch of sensors and cameras and stuff, it
Speaker 1: could go up to one hundred and fifty thousand. So
Speaker 1: and now that there's a lot of to be fair,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of like knockoffs.
Speaker 2: This is Walmart selling one. It's like unitree go to
Speaker 2: robot Quadrigation.
Speaker 3: I mean, it looks like a great doorstop.
Speaker 1: It's not as sophisticated, but it's twenty two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Pretty low reviews.
Speaker 1: On this thing, but the actual Boston Dynamic ones are
Speaker 1: much more expensive. You go with a traditional robot dog
Speaker 1: for twenty nine dollars, but that ain't gonna do much
Speaker 1: for you, certainly not going to do the laundry. This
Speaker 1: thing though, for twenty thousand dollars. I just wonder if
Speaker 1: it even financially would make any sense.
Speaker 2: I don't know that it would.
Speaker 4: One of the things, so this robot self charges, which
Speaker 4: I think is hilarious. It like, when it gets low
Speaker 4: on battery, it knows where its charger is and it
Speaker 4: goes and plugs itself in and then when it's all
Speaker 4: charged up, I do that too. I'm guessing it just
Speaker 4: pulls the plug and it's like okay. By One of
Speaker 4: the other things that says is like boom box, use
Speaker 4: Neo as a mobile Bluetooth speaker anywhere in your home.
Speaker 4: That seems like the most basic bitch feature this thing has.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine going to the beach or something, got
Speaker 1: a robot Bluetooth speaker sitting next to you on a
Speaker 1: blanket on this Oh and I can't imagine that. Go
Speaker 1: into the park with Neo the robot. Oh god, it's
Speaker 1: all bad, but it's reality.
Speaker 2: So let's know what you think.
Speaker 1: Senaty dispatch at the news Junkie dot com Right now,
Speaker 1: quick break when we come back, I don't want you
Speaker 1: to panic r thing, but lab monkeys have escaped, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, escaped lab monkeys on the loose. What's the
Speaker 1: story here? Why are people freaking out about this? And
Speaker 1: what's really happening?
Speaker 9: Is coming up next on the News junkie.
Speaker 1: Jamaica waking up to not the greatest situation obviously, after
Speaker 1: this hurricane walloped them this week and kind of just
Speaker 1: sat on top of Jamaica and spun over and over
Speaker 1: and over and over again. It was pretty bad and
Speaker 1: some of the stories look a bit dire in terms
Speaker 1: of what it looks like after this Category five Hurricane
Speaker 1: Melissa made landfall in Jamaica. Already, a lot of their
Speaker 1: homes aren't really built to a code that many of
Speaker 1: us would consider to be significant. And you know, being
Speaker 1: somebody who's gone to Jamaica before, I can tell you, like,
Speaker 1: you look at the houses and they're not ramshackle huts
Speaker 1: that we drove by when we were broadcasting live from Jamaica.
Speaker 2: But they're also not houses that would be up to code.
Speaker 1: And let's say Florida, it's just a different standard that
Speaker 1: they have for construction there. And a category five hurricane
Speaker 1: is bad, obviously.
Speaker 4: But they have I saw some of the footage that
Speaker 4: they were showing on Fox thirty five this morning, and
Speaker 4: a lot of it coming from the Fox like overall
Speaker 4: Fox Weather team and some of them out in Jamaica,
Speaker 4: and they were like some of these guys. They picked
Speaker 4: specifically this concrete house because they knew that the house
Speaker 4: would be like a nice and safe. But all of
Speaker 4: the windows just like we're crashing, and they had like
Speaker 4: to them like running through the house because some of
Speaker 4: the big sliding glass doors are just kind.
Speaker 1: Of toppled over and shadowed everywhere. That's scary, man, And
Speaker 1: that's what was happening. This is the article from the
Speaker 1: BBC says Jamaicans start to reveal devastation as hurricane causes floods,
Speaker 1: power cuts and splits the city in two. According to this,
Speaker 1: a lot of devastation in the wake of this.
Speaker 2: Hang on, let me knock that down sea lane. There
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 1: The true extent of Hurricane Melissa is still being revealed
Speaker 1: in Jamaica. Without power or phone coverage, much of the
Speaker 1: country is isolated and so information is trickling through.
Speaker 3: Oh hello, starlink can help you for a second here please.
Speaker 2: Now's the time.
Speaker 1: Three quarters of the country had no electricity overnight, three
Speaker 1: quarters of Jamaica. Seventy five percent of Jamaica had no electricity,
Speaker 1: while the numbers of people injured or perhaps dead haven't
Speaker 1: even begun to be counted. Many parts of Jamaica's western
Speaker 1: side are underwater and homes have been destroyed by strong
Speaker 1: winds after the hurricane tour across the island with strophic
Speaker 1: force as wind and rain lashed throughout the night. One
Speaker 1: local official said the destruction resembled the scene of an
Speaker 1: apocalypse movie, with communications crippled. The BBC says the true
Speaker 1: scale of the disaster remains unknown. They said, there is
Speaker 1: significant damage to hospitals, homes, businesses and obviously you got
Speaker 1: you know, trees uprooted all over the place. Winds were
Speaker 1: at one hundred and eighty five mile an hour miles
Speaker 1: per hour, so it was really really bad. You don't
Speaker 1: have a connection. You can't speak to the people you
Speaker 1: normally speak to. One woman said, there is water coming
Speaker 1: in through the roof of my house. I am not okay, So,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously not a good situation there after this
Speaker 1: Category five storm. Taking a look around at some of
Speaker 1: the footage that is eking its way through, this is
Speaker 1: just devastation in this part. Some of these uh just
Speaker 1: completely crashed the video for some reason right as I
Speaker 1: played it. Oh, hang on, I know I did that.
Speaker 1: I'll pop it back up. For those of you watching,
Speaker 1: you watch the show, by the way on YouTube and
Speaker 1: twitch dot.
Speaker 2: Tv slashing the news Junkie.
Speaker 1: There's some smaller houses that appear to be not very
Speaker 1: well made, as you can tell by just absolute debris
Speaker 1: left behind when a hurricane knocks them over. Like this,
Speaker 1: Flooding is everywhere in this particular neighborhood that we're looking at.
Speaker 1: It looks like a lot of power poles and stuff
Speaker 1: are down in this area too.
Speaker 2: Then somebody sent over.
Speaker 1: This is inside Cornwall Regional the hospital in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Speaker 2: And this just ain't good.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is like the hospital is underwater. This
Speaker 1: gotta be a float all through, like the waiting rooms
Speaker 1: and stuff. The chairs are just surrounded in water. There's
Speaker 1: like a river rolling through the hospital itself.
Speaker 3: It's moments like these though, that you think the last
Speaker 3: hurricane with Tampa, remember, and the hospital had that giant
Speaker 3: barrier already set up, which essentially saved it from flooding
Speaker 3: like this, right. I don't know all the hospitals have
Speaker 3: something like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't think it happens enough to make it worthwhile,
Speaker 1: but I bet they wish they had one now.
Speaker 2: I mean, like this place is just there's a.
Speaker 1: River running through this hospital in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you can't keep a hospital or even running like this.
Speaker 1: Although the lights are on, I'll tell you the power
Speaker 1: is on in the room. They could probably might have
Speaker 1: some generators. Hospitals tend to keep those around. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess so, yeah, I guess so. It's quite bad as
Speaker 1: you could see from Montego Bay. I'll put this up
Speaker 1: on See It Now so everybody could take a peek
Speaker 1: since it's a visual Whenever you get a chance, go
Speaker 1: over to the website as per usual, and in the
Speaker 1: menu you'll see see it Now, and then you'll see
Speaker 1: some of the footage of just how bad this was
Speaker 1: out there in Jamaica, in Montego Bay. But it's still
Speaker 1: a situation where they don't necessarily have a full grasp,
Speaker 1: even a couple of days later, just how bad everything went,
Speaker 1: because it's that everybody's phones are down, the whole cell
Speaker 1: towers are down.
Speaker 2: To make a hospital flooded is.
Speaker 1: What I'm going to put here over on See It
Speaker 1: Now check it out on the Neewsjunkie dot com. That
Speaker 1: video is now up and available for you to take
Speaker 1: a peek at and it's something else. Go check that
Speaker 1: out the news Junkie dot Com in the see it
Speaker 1: Now section. All right, let's go to you. Let's work
Speaker 1: in some of your comments. You've got some things that
Speaker 1: you're saying to us. I did want to say real quick,
Speaker 1: there are more and more stories, and I guess this
Speaker 1: is just the news in America trying to do things
Speaker 1: with an American angle. But there's so many stories like
Speaker 1: Texas newlywed stranded in Jamaica, and like they're trying to
Speaker 1: make this about people from America that are over there
Speaker 1: instead of you know, who knows what's going on with
Speaker 1: all these people in Jamaica. The people in America are
Speaker 1: mostly at very very well built resorts that are going
Speaker 1: to hold up to this kind of weather. Thankfully, they're
Speaker 1: going to be okay. But it's like we can't tell
Speaker 1: the Jamaican people stories because you know, they're not American,
Speaker 1: and the Americans just won't understand their problems, I think.
Speaker 4: And another thing that I thought was kind of odd,
Speaker 4: and I just as I was walking through the hallway
Speaker 4: and one of the TVs is on and they had
Speaker 4: this guy on again, and I saw him on this morning,
Speaker 4: because the next place that Hurricane Melissa is set to
Speaker 4: hit is Bermuda. But by the time it gets to Bermuda,
Speaker 4: it has actually downgraded quicker than forecasted, and so when
Speaker 4: it gets to Bermuda, it's gonna be like Cat two.
Speaker 2: Or Cat one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they have a weather reporter ready in Bermuda
Speaker 4: talking about how Bermuda is preparing and the shot they
Speaker 4: got of this guy. Could we have picked a different location,
Speaker 4: a more appropriate location, wepriate He was on the most
Speaker 4: beautiful beach. It's like, it's like, we're gonna go from
Speaker 4: Jamaica to Bermuda and then right in front of crystal
Speaker 4: blue waters on a nice, calm, sunny Bermuda day.
Speaker 3: And then showing off to Jamaica. Once they see it,
Speaker 3: it is going to be so quick and so much
Speaker 3: easier than it was when it was slow and giant for.
Speaker 1: You tilt his head down and say I'm sorry at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the report you the juxtaposition was.
Speaker 2: A little awkward in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Beautiful over here Mike on YouTube says you're not in
Speaker 1: Rochester anymore.
Speaker 2: That station got blown up. But I love you all,
Speaker 2: I love the show.
Speaker 1: I listened on the iHeart app now and tip of
Speaker 1: the cap whoever chose that last rejoin by Ghosts, thank you,
Speaker 1: appreciate you, thank you for sticking with this, Mike, and
Speaker 1: if you are listening anywhere, it's always good for this
Speaker 1: exact reason to either subscribe on YouTube or to the podcast.
Speaker 2: You never know.
Speaker 1: Stations that were on all over the place. Sometimes they come,
Speaker 1: sometimes they go. It was a great station. We'd love
Speaker 1: all the people there. It was an awesome ride on Rochester.
Speaker 1: You could still check us out in Albany if you're
Speaker 1: in New York. I don't imagine your post always up
Speaker 1: to brother just retired. I guess, yeah, yeah, just retired
Speaker 1: at the beach.
Speaker 2: We's in there. It might be. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was the legend at that station, was at that
Speaker 1: station for decades and decades and decades, this gap and
Speaker 1: then they just said, we you know what people want,
Speaker 1: rock music. They can't give that anywhere else. Technology is
Speaker 1: not going to stop that. I say to all of
Speaker 1: you program directors, and I know how many of you
Speaker 1: listen to this show. I don't say that to blow
Speaker 1: up my own ego. I say that because literally a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the industry listen to the show
Speaker 1: and have over the years, and I say to you,
Speaker 1: the only thing that is far enough from replaceable right
Speaker 1: now to be comfortable with is the spoken word format
Speaker 1: that you are listening to right now, Real human beings
Speaker 1: talking into microphone, building friendships through the airwaves and other ways,
Speaker 1: with people who are listening and working every single day.
Speaker 2: That's the thing that can't be replaced.
Speaker 1: The music they can get anywhere, They can literally get
Speaker 1: it anywhere.
Speaker 2: This not your robot can play it for you?
Speaker 1: Your robot can? We can your robot play this? I
Speaker 1: don't know if the robot could play the news junkie.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I would like for twenty thousand dollars better.
Speaker 3: I mean, you have any three robots to represent each
Speaker 3: of us.
Speaker 2: Come on, Neo the robot cut iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: You really should. Let's see we got to diver Steve
Speaker 1: talking about Neo the robot. Let's see what he says
Speaker 1: with his audio dispatch.
Speaker 10: Hey, good afternoon, news jackies. I just want to weigh
Speaker 10: in on that robot. Yeah, that's really cheap. But anybody
Speaker 10: remember when phones were real cheap? Sign up for line.
Speaker 10: We'll give you a free phone because the government and
Speaker 10: big business want to know where you're at and what
Speaker 10: you're thinking about buying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds fishy to me.
Speaker 3: Any rate just want to say, wiggle wiggle, pop.
Speaker 2: Up, you know what it could be. And I don't
Speaker 2: know this. I don't know this. I'm just full on
Speaker 2: speculating here.
Speaker 1: But what I've seen happen before is sometimes they put
Speaker 1: things in the marketplace, and they'll put them for a
Speaker 1: cheap price, and then when the interest arrives people really
Speaker 1: really want to get it, they'll go back and change
Speaker 1: the price. So in this case, they'd go twenty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars for the robot or five nine to nine a month,
Speaker 1: and then either that is a featureless one that you
Speaker 1: don't really want. You want the fifty thousand dollars model,
Speaker 1: or they just simply raised the price, like it costs
Speaker 1: a little more for production, so it's going to cost
Speaker 1: more to buy it.
Speaker 4: Or they say, you know, we have sold out of
Speaker 4: twenty thousand dollars robots, and now what we have left
Speaker 4: is forty thousand dollars robots.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, you got more expensive one.
Speaker 1: I don't recall if they did that with the cyber truck,
Speaker 1: but it might have been the case that they did
Speaker 1: that with the pricing of.
Speaker 2: The cyber truck when interest spiked.
Speaker 1: I know that they did this with when I was younger,
Speaker 1: the PT Cruiser they revealed and people raking a PT Cruiser.
Speaker 1: Look how cool this thing is. It's got a you
Speaker 1: can put a tent in the back of it and
Speaker 1: go camping.
Speaker 2: You can put your sturfboard on top. It's astounding.
Speaker 1: And then when they release it, everybody bought them all
Speaker 1: and they go, we are going to raised the price
Speaker 1: dramatically of this thing because people want it right.
Speaker 3: Now and everyone makes fun of it today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now it didn't stand the test of time.
Speaker 1: I don't think now it really didn't stick with us.
Speaker 2: Let us know what you think. Send us a dispatch.
Speaker 1: Go over to thenewsjunkie dot com and hit record on
Speaker 1: your dispatch right now. Thank you, diver Steve. And one
Speaker 1: more real quick. Somebody's comparing the robot to Big Hero.
Speaker 11: Six, So to me, I haven't seen it yet. I'll
Speaker 11: check it out when I stopped driving. But the good
Speaker 11: for you the robot, it sounds better, the voice sounds
Speaker 11: like and also the description of it and how it
Speaker 11: works and all that sort of thing. It sounds exactly
Speaker 11: like Bamax from Big Hero six. Kind of does, so,
Speaker 11: I mean, check that out and compare the two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of does.
Speaker 1: He's like a big, lovable, soft robot character.
Speaker 2: Looks like if the State Puff marshmallw Man was a robot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that. A lot of people emailing
Speaker 1: about this. Will work some of those in.
Speaker 2: And we'll get to these escaped lab monkeys.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be doing that shortly on the show when
Speaker 1: we come back the next episode with Sabrina. What's coming
Speaker 1: up on the next episode?

Speaker 1: I can't wait to see people in costumes are dressed up.
Speaker 4: I had to force myself to go to bed last
Speaker 4: night because I was like just up honing in the material.
Speaker 2: I was typing away at the at the notes app, and.
Speaker 4: Then I got in bed and I was like, oooh,
Speaker 4: no thing all right.
Speaker 3: And if you're typing away and very confused when it
Speaker 3: comes to refinancing or buying your first dream home, stop
Speaker 3: doing that. Just type that mortgage guy don dot com.
Speaker 3: Do miss the mortgage guy.
Speaker 2: Dot com.
Speaker 3: Twenty seven years ago, nineteen ninety eight, Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 2: And this Tom Cruise Tom Clubruse.
Speaker 3: Tom Cruise is right two points for Sean and twenty
Speaker 3: seven years ago on this day, they got a settlement
Speaker 3: five hundred thousand dollars to be exact from London's Express
Speaker 3: now spipeer for an article that claimed both of them were.
Speaker 1: Yay.
Speaker 4: I thought it just claimed Tom was gay.
Speaker 3: Both gay and their marriage was a cover up.
Speaker 2: Wait, so there's a beard. A beard is what a
Speaker 2: beard is.
Speaker 1: When you're a guy, you're you're with a woman to
Speaker 1: pretend like you're not gay, that's a beard.
Speaker 2: Woman is the beard?
Speaker 3: Rightman, is the beard?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is there another version of that where if you're a
Speaker 1: woman who is gay and you're with a man to
Speaker 1: pretend like you're not, is that guy a beard too?
Speaker 2: Is that guy Amercan? I don't know. Okay, I have not.
Speaker 3: Heard of the official praising, but by all means, give
Speaker 3: it a googs and while you're there, also google lollipops
Speaker 3: for your vagina. Okay, there I said.
Speaker 2: It, and I have to incot meto of this.
Speaker 3: One, or do you? Because it's supposed to be for
Speaker 3: your health of the downstairs mix up, Corney Kardashian is
Speaker 3: behind it. Now you do have to ingest these orally.
Speaker 3: The lollipops also come in gummy form.
Speaker 2: Can fact that really needs to be specified?
Speaker 3: I think yes it does. Yes, it does.
Speaker 1: Record I guess when a man or when a woman
Speaker 1: is with a man who's gay to pretend they're not,
Speaker 1: it's a beard. And the opposite of that is called
Speaker 1: a purse.
Speaker 3: That makes sense because I use a backpack. Now I
Speaker 3: do have a lot of stuff. The lollipops also come
Speaker 3: in gummy form, contain a probiotic that helps combat things
Speaker 3: like bacterial vaginosis, the b the East infections, and aerobic vaginitis.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, Arabic.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's not Arabic. The lallies are called
Speaker 3: very specific. You can grab that for me. Great, let me.
Speaker 3: Purr is the lollipop's name, and Courtney says, I love
Speaker 3: that these can turn daily self care into something sweet
Speaker 3: and simple. Wow, Courtney Carnanni.
Speaker 2: We also have.
Speaker 3: War that is over. We did it, guys, the war
Speaker 3: right you say condragulations.
Speaker 2: I stopped in the middle because the word exploded on me.
Speaker 3: Uh, the official White House execunts.
Speaker 2: You were saying country, that's my doing.
Speaker 3: The account is celebrated the end of the rivalry of.
Speaker 2: Mortal Combat Console.
Speaker 3: War Yeah, Expox with PlayStation Okay, so who won? I'm
Speaker 3: not completely sure. They just shared a strange AI image
Speaker 3: of Trump Ooh, never mind. They decided who they're gonna be, Like,
Speaker 3: what side it is? It was Trump as Halo's master
Speaker 3: chief and.
Speaker 2: Halo is Xbox Oh is it on?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I won?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They announced Microsoft being the remake of the original Halo
Speaker 3: game Combat Evolution. It's gonna launch around the time of
Speaker 3: those weird robots we talked about earlier in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: six for the Xbox series x slash S and PC
Speaker 3: no PlayStation, but they also confirmed the game would be
Speaker 3: coming to PlayStation for the first time in the franchise's
Speaker 3: twenty four year history. Many a months later, but things
Speaker 3: are coming together. I also want to throw this. It's
Speaker 3: not a flag on the field, but a flag. Nonetheless,
Speaker 3: Fortnite brought those consoles together years ago because that's the
Speaker 3: one place that I could Fortnite and be on the
Speaker 3: same team. Talk to my nubs in the lobby and
Speaker 3: they have Xbox, I have PlayStation.
Speaker 2: Can you do that? Also if you're just playing Fortnite
Speaker 2: on a cell phone?
Speaker 3: I believe so who does that?
Speaker 4: There's Fortnite on my television and I tried it all
Speaker 4: of for twenty minutes and I not like an old person.
Speaker 2: There's Fortnite on my television.
Speaker 3: App connected to the interwet.
Speaker 4: There's a rebos app or whatever my television has, and
Speaker 4: there's a Fortnite for it.
Speaker 2: Played it one time, goodbye, welcome.
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: Why I play games where we can just watch movies
Speaker 3: and this one I am curious about because Hollywood tends
Speaker 3: to as of late, not come up with any original ideas,
Speaker 3: just reboot and remake and redo the things that we
Speaker 3: grew up loving. But this one I think might be
Speaker 3: good as long as everyone's not pissed off that it's
Speaker 3: a woman. According to reports, Margot Robbie isn't talks to
Speaker 3: star in the remake. Oh, American Psycho. No, it's been
Speaker 3: a minute, according to this son.
Speaker 2: But I saw that this was fake news.

Speaker 1: weren't going.
Speaker 2: To do a gender swap. That's what I saw. Oh, so,

Speaker 3: But can we dump that mold?
Speaker 1: No, it's out there.

Speaker 3: not make those jokes anymore? And everyone just is.
Speaker 2: That against how buy here as we go I have.
Speaker 3: Personally, Instead of roasting me, just give me math problems
Speaker 3: that entirely okay. Maxwell Smart's shoe phone shot thirty five
Speaker 3: thousand dollars on the boob Tube.
Speaker 1: If anybody plants a bomb somewhere and there's like a
Speaker 1: secret way to code it, just give Sabrina.
Speaker 3: A It's gonna cut all the wires. Obviously it's gonna
Speaker 3: blow up. Do you think that decoding a bomb includes
Speaker 3: a math problem?
Speaker 2: It could? It does depend what you mean if the
Speaker 2: bomb is placed at your house.
Speaker 3: I dropped two bombs this morning. I'm not talking about
Speaker 3: poop on the boob Tube. We got Game five series,
Speaker 3: I don't know. It could have been an actual Bombo
Speaker 3: fifth season finale. If Slow Horses on Apple TV, Star
Speaker 3: Wars Visions on Disney Plus, and you can catch Keegan
Speaker 3: Michael Key on KIM will follow your dreams of on
Speaker 3: Instagram at Sabrina, and but most importantly, they with me America, SMA.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: You ever have a show where just the name you go,
Speaker 1: the name is not drawing me? In slow slow Horses,
Speaker 1: I mean it could be great.
Speaker 2: I don't have no idea.
Speaker 3: What's about five seasons and it's not series finale.
Speaker 2: That's something think about.
Speaker 4: If Mick Jaggers saying about those slow slow horses.
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3: That was good.
Speaker 2: I don't know it sounds boring, it does.
Speaker 1: I hate to say when we come back, it won't
Speaker 1: be boring because we're gonna be talking about escape lab monkeys.
Speaker 2: And apparently these were all fast monkeys.
Speaker 1: Imagine these monkeys were laced up with all sorts of
Speaker 1: problems unless you ask their handlers, who say, no, don't worry,
Speaker 1: nothing wrong here, totally fine. The escape lab monkey story
Speaker 1: coming up next in the News Junkie. Join us on
Speaker 1: the show with your dispatches, video or audio dispatches. Fire
Speaker 1: them our way over at the newsjunkie dot Com.
Speaker 2: As we talk about lab monkeys have escaped.
Speaker 1: I feel like I should be very scared about this,
Speaker 1: but for some reason, they're telling us that there's nothing
Speaker 1: to fear, no real problem here. Yeah, it's just lab
Speaker 1: monkeys escaping. Don't panic everybody. And I see the lab
Speaker 1: monkey getting out. It's a crash, an auto crash. And
Speaker 1: one of the lab monkeys was even captured escaping the wreckage.
Speaker 1: And these animals were initially reported to have been infected
Speaker 1: with some stuff.
Speaker 3: But they are sure us the plot of so many movies.
Speaker 1: They're assure us that there's nothing to be scared of, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: There is nothing to be scared of, just some monkeys
Speaker 1: on the loose that escaped from this lab vehicle any highway.
Speaker 3: What they were testing on them? Like, are we looking
Speaker 3: for fully made up, high end makeup monkeys or monkey
Speaker 3: with an arm coming out of its bag?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't like so many things about this story,
Speaker 1: but one of the things that's brutal to read is
Speaker 1: that these Reeseis monkeys. That's what kind of monkeys they were.
Speaker 1: That is still the lab. These Reeseis maccoq monkeys. They
Speaker 1: are the most studied, medically studied animals on the planet.
Speaker 1: These little monkeys really not miser rats, that's it says.
Speaker 1: The truck was carrying Raesis monkeys, which typically right way
Speaker 1: around sixteen pounds and are among the most medically studied
Speaker 1: animals on the planet. The video shows the monkeys crawling
Speaker 1: through tall grass on the side of I ninety five
Speaker 1: in Mississippi. The wooden Crates said, live animals. They're all
Speaker 1: over the place, the monkeys wandering around the local The
Speaker 1: Sheriff's department initially came out said, hey, folks, these escape
Speaker 1: lab monkeys. Here's what you need to know. First of all,
Speaker 1: they all have herpes and freak out everybody. Then they
Speaker 1: quickly said, sorry, sorry, we got it wrong.
Speaker 12: I swear.
Speaker 4: Is that because of the research or is that just
Speaker 4: like just generally speaking.
Speaker 2: Something that us up.
Speaker 3: If you run into one of those monkeys, please don't
Speaker 3: make love to it.
Speaker 1: No, don't do not do this. This this is an
Speaker 1: area where just in case test these monkeys out.
Speaker 2: I guess, and let me see it.
Speaker 1: There's a group of monkeys being transported on a mississippihighway
Speaker 1: to escape captivity after the truck carrying them overturned did
Speaker 1: not carry a dangerous infectious disease.
Speaker 2: At University has said, right totally.
Speaker 1: Video shows monkeys through the didn't carry a dangerous disease,
Speaker 1: just herpes.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't even believe this.
Speaker 1: I think it was more to it because you know
Speaker 1: what they did. Don't like this either, not a big fan.
Speaker 1: The local sheriff's department initially said the monkeys were carrying diseases,
Speaker 1: including herpes, but they went back on that and said
Speaker 1: the monkeys had not been exposed to any infectious agent.
Speaker 1: Right totally. All but one of the escape monkeys were killed. Oh,
Speaker 1: the sheriff's department said in a post on.
Speaker 3: Catch them put a bat.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. They said the monkeys were aggressive.
Speaker 1: Maybe the monkeys were aggressive because they escaped the lab
Speaker 1: where you were poking and prodden and studying them. Yep,
Speaker 1: you gave the monkeys herpes question mark allegedly.
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I believe what's going on here.
Speaker 1: They were being housed at the Tulane University National Biomedical
Speaker 1: Research Center in New Orleans, which routinely provides primates to
Speaker 1: scientific research organizations. They said, And see we could find
Speaker 1: the Facebook page to see if Jasper County Sheriff's Department
Speaker 1: has posted more about this. Because they're going back and
Speaker 1: forth from they got herpes, they got coved, they're infected
Speaker 1: ass monkeys to no worries they're all good and we've
Speaker 1: just we just.
Speaker 2: Decided to annihilate them.
Speaker 4: Okay, Now, which Jasper County we're talking about?
Speaker 2: What state?
Speaker 1: Jasper County, Mississippi. I believe that's the list, third on
Speaker 1: the list of Jasper counties. That's the best they can do.
Speaker 2: A bunch of yeah, and you're new.
Speaker 1: Oh, hold on, they were being no, they were being
Speaker 1: housed at the Tulane University of New Orleans. They sent
Speaker 1: them to this other place in Mississippi. So Jasper County, Mississippi.
Speaker 4: Yeah, says non human primates at the Tulane National Biomedical
Speaker 4: Research Center are provided to other research organizations to advanced
Speaker 4: scientific discovery. The primemates in question belong to another entity
Speaker 4: and are not infectious. We are actively with local authorities
Speaker 4: and will send a team of animal care experts to
Speaker 4: assist as needed.
Speaker 1: That is the statement released by Tulane. All right, that's
Speaker 1: twu Lane. I wonder if they deleted it, because I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I don't even see anything about the monkeys on Jasper
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's office. And you know what, you I think
Speaker 1: you're right ceiling. There's a problem because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of Jasper County.
Speaker 3: I actually one Facebook post from a Jasper County police
Speaker 3: department that says, oo e oo ah oh, I don't
Speaker 3: want to bring that.
Speaker 2: Could be it that this?
Speaker 1: I think this is the same statement se Lane just released.
Speaker 1: This is Tulane has released the statement below. The driver
Speaker 1: the truck told law enforcement the monkeys were dangerous and
Speaker 1: posed the threat to humans. So the driver of the truck.
Speaker 1: It sounds like like in a movie. The driver's like
Speaker 1: the lab monkeys, they're dangerous. Make sure everybody's as safe
Speaker 1: as possible. And then afterwards they go, no, everything's fun.
Speaker 2: It was fine.
Speaker 3: Come on, just don't touch them please.
Speaker 1: They said, no big deal at all. Do they have
Speaker 1: their initial statement? This is an update. Three monkeys are
Speaker 1: still on the loose after being able to get inside
Speaker 1: the truck and get a correct count. All but one
Speaker 1: of these eight monkeys have been destroyed.
Speaker 2: Destroyed is the word that you use. I don't know why.
Speaker 2: I think that's better than killed.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Here's the actual original post. A rec occurred on I
Speaker 1: fifty nine. The monkeys carry hepatitis, sea herpes, and COVID.
Speaker 1: The trifecta baby hepsy, herpes and COVID. Tu Leane University
Speaker 1: has been notified. We'll send a team to pick up
Speaker 1: the mounkey tomorrow.
Speaker 2: So we don't know.
Speaker 3: Four monkeys, that's a lot to have in one body.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they said nothing is in them.
Speaker 1: They're totally fine. They don't have any of these problems.
Speaker 1: I don't know who to believe here. Nancy on Facebook says,
Speaker 1: run monkeys, run, rooting for the monkeys as I am too,
Speaker 1: Like only one is left and maybe they got to
Speaker 1: that one too.
Speaker 3: I hope they are actually clean though. Now we're going
Speaker 3: to have a monkey animal wild animal epidemic of hepsy
Speaker 3: and herpies.
Speaker 2: That sounds bad, all right.
Speaker 1: I'm no scientists, but that sounds like a bad thing
Speaker 1: to have out there.
Speaker 2: The lab monkeys.
Speaker 1: You either have to be incredibly worried about them or
Speaker 1: it's no big deal. I'm sorry, I just don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the truth is in the story.
Speaker 1: You can tell us what you think. Send us a
Speaker 1: dispatch over at thenewschunky dot com. Right now. An email
Speaker 1: coming in from David who says, my dad is a
Speaker 1: retired research scientist and actually worked a long time ago
Speaker 1: with the monkeys at Tulane University. I used to see
Speaker 1: them all the time. Around the facility. Things were cool,
Speaker 1: but we definitely never knew. We definitely knew to never
Speaker 1: go near the cages or mess with the safety equipment
Speaker 1: when my brother and I were screwing around when nobody
Speaker 1: was looking. Have a great roast, much love and thanks
Speaker 1: for keeping us entertained, says David.
Speaker 2: Thank you David for the email.
Speaker 1: You too can join us on the show with an
Speaker 1: email dispatch whatever. If you want to be anonymous, put
Speaker 1: that up on top and fire off whatever your thoughts
Speaker 1: are to tips. That's tips tips at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, quick break and back with more in just
Speaker 1: a moment on the show. When we return, we'll get
Speaker 1: geared up for the next episode we are. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: the next episode Jury Duty. I apologize forgot what hour
Speaker 1: it was. I'm distracted and I do have a story
Speaker 1: that we need to get into. Everybody loves to rib
Speaker 1: Sabrina with the movie past stories. Because she's not very
Speaker 1: fond of the company.
Speaker 3: I'd like to be a complete Nutter rip off and scam.
Speaker 1: She was a founding subscriber. I think one of the
Speaker 1: early adapters certainly.
Speaker 3: An investor because they took all my money and I
Speaker 3: saw one movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, movie Pass pulled the rugout on everybody. And then
Speaker 1: we heard the other day like, hey, movie Pass is
Speaker 1: making a comeback and you can invest in movie Pass.
Speaker 1: And I thought the website was fake. I literally thought
Speaker 1: it was fake because when you go to the website,
Speaker 1: there was like eight million dollars that had been donated
Speaker 1: to movie Pass, and all of the things that they
Speaker 1: were giving, as you know, prizes or whatever for people
Speaker 1: who had big donations, were.
Speaker 2: Dumb, like lunch with the CEO.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm supposed to be impressed with that,
Speaker 1: but I.
Speaker 2: Really don't care that much.
Speaker 1: And there was a couple other things like you could
Speaker 1: go to this event with the CEO. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff with the CEO when they had raised millions
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars. And now we're hearing i'll just
Speaker 1: work this in here so we could talk about it
Speaker 1: a bit. Now we're hearing that the company that has
Speaker 1: by the bought this movie Pass or the remainders of it,
Speaker 1: has decided what they're going to do. And I don't
Speaker 1: know what to make of this, but they've now opened
Speaker 1: this up for everybody, It says, movie Pass opens fantasy
Speaker 1: league game Mogel. All right, that's what movie passes like.
Speaker 1: Moving forward, it's a fantasy league game called Mogul, it
Speaker 1: says Mogal. The new fantasy film studio platform created by
Speaker 1: movie Pass launched out of private beta. According to the company,
Speaker 1: the platform is now available as public beta for everybody.
Speaker 1: Designed specifically for the Hollywood industry. Players own their own
Speaker 1: film studio and draft the team of actors, directors, and
Speaker 1: movies to earn points based on their performance.
Speaker 4: Oh see, that's interesting, But I'm initially hesitant because it's
Speaker 4: tied to the name movie Pass exactly.
Speaker 3: And how are they allowed to have anything tied to
Speaker 3: their name, just like Billy McFarlane, like totally cool after
Speaker 3: spending time in prison to launch Firefest too.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I thought there was something in a place
Speaker 3: in our laws that if they scam to people, let's
Speaker 3: stop them from doing that again.
Speaker 2: Well, they're not calling anything movie Pass. It looks like
Speaker 2: it's called Mogul. It just looks like the thing is
Speaker 2: called Mogul. But that's what they've.
Speaker 1: Launched, where it's like fantasy football, but for Hollywood directors.
Speaker 2: Actors, all of that stuff.
Speaker 1: They said it's open for about four hundred thousand users
Speaker 1: on the waiting list. About five thousand have tested this out.
Speaker 1: After you create a name for your studio, you get
Speaker 1: a budget of one million Mogul coin, the virtual cut
Speaker 1: currency that they use. You then assemble your team. For example,
Speaker 1: sequel Wicked for Good is one hundred thousand dollars and
Speaker 1: the actresses Cynthia Arivo and Ariana Grande are twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars each. Director John m che is twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. You have a week to finalize your choices,
Speaker 1: and you can make two free swaps each week, so
Speaker 1: you just like buy the movies with your budget, you
Speaker 1: buy the actors with your budget, and it's fantasy football
Speaker 1: for movies.
Speaker 4: Like I said, it's kind of an interesting, even sort
Speaker 4: of cool idea.
Speaker 2: It's just like, oh, it's movie pats. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And they said they have a new fantasy millionaire every week.
Speaker 2: But what does that mean. Is a fantasy millionaire an
Speaker 2: actual millionaire by virtue of the name.
Speaker 4: I'm a fantasy millionaire time, I'd like to sound up
Speaker 4: to be a real million Every morning I wake up
Speaker 4: and I'm a fantasy millionaire. It's just I fantasize about it,
Speaker 4: uh for just lee little bit, and then I have
Speaker 4: to get on with my actual, not millionaire life.
Speaker 1: Congratulations everybody who is talking about this, you can go
Speaker 1: check it out. Mogul is the name of this, launched
Speaker 1: by what used to be Movie Pass.
Speaker 2: Is it going to be a big hit? Let us
Speaker 2: know what you think. I don't know it is. It's
Speaker 2: not the worst idea I've ever heard.
Speaker 3: Someone else should do it. They don't deserve it.
Speaker 1: It feels a little targeted at me, honestly, because I'm like,
Speaker 1: it feels like they said, hey, do you feel incredibly
Speaker 1: left out of everybody playing fantasy sports because you don't
Speaker 1: really watch sports, but you'd still like to do some
Speaker 1: kind of fantasy sports type thing, introducing Mogul where the
Speaker 1: fantasy sport is movies at the theaters, and the actors
Speaker 1: and actresses are the players on your team.
Speaker 2: Can you already?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: It doesn't it's not clear whether they've indicated that there's
Speaker 4: going to be any way to put your own money
Speaker 4: into this and like bet on who's winning the Fantasy
Speaker 4: Mogul League or whatever. But just like outside of this story.
Speaker 4: Can you already bet on box office scores like in
Speaker 4: Calshi or Polymarket, I don't know that you You probably.
Speaker 1: Can't, but I don't know. You'd have to look that up.
Speaker 1: It does if this changes your mind or anything. It
Speaker 1: does exist at Mogul dot Moviepass dot com.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 3: Gaslip by an entire company.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they still are kind of rocking the name one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars prize pool.
Speaker 2: The season is beginning.

Speaker 1: actors five thousand dollars. They might not just have every
Speaker 1: everybody you might have to pick like main stars or something.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it looks pretty basic. Pick from the studio,
Speaker 1: view the calendar.
Speaker 2: Well, check it out.

Speaker 1: is what we're shooting for, which is an hour before
Speaker 1: the roast actually starts. And the reason why we wanted
Speaker 1: to do that was because, and we're not blowing smoke
Speaker 1: up your ass here.

Speaker 1: Who we know who are funny enough to be part
Speaker 1: of something like this, and it's sort of like we
Speaker 1: haven't been able to do this before in a way
Speaker 1: when we get to flex how talented all these people
Speaker 1: are that are attached to the show, and I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun, fun time. Will will have
Speaker 1: a good time. And people are going like, why do
Speaker 1: you look calm? Why aren't you really nervous? If you
Speaker 1: think I'm very sensitive about things like this, you're not
Speaker 1: really connecting with me because I'm not. I don't get
Speaker 1: bothered by I love stuff that's funny.
Speaker 2: I love jokes that are are dark.
Speaker 1: I like taking shots at people, like when people take
Speaker 1: shots at me. For the most part, I like that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And I also am super excited for
Speaker 1: us all to create this special together.
Speaker 2: And if I have to be the dummy who takes
Speaker 2: the shots first, that's fine. If it's successful. On the
Speaker 2: other side of it, there'll be other people.
Speaker 3: You're taking some shots. There's a lot of animation.
Speaker 2: Oh me, Yeah, of course, of course.
Speaker 1: And and I would be a fool if I wasn't
Speaker 1: ready to fire back a little bit, but I'm there
Speaker 1: to have fun. I'm there to laugh, and I think
Speaker 1: that you are gonna have a blast and.
Speaker 2: You'll be able to.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, guys, I'm pretty sure you're
Speaker 1: on board with this, but I want to speak for
Speaker 1: you Suburn and Zealand. I love when we do events
Speaker 1: which we don't do as many as we used to,
Speaker 1: seeing everybody interact with each other and seeing the communities
Speaker 1: on communities on communities that have built around this show.
Speaker 1: For sure, it's so awesome and this will be a
Speaker 1: great opportunity. Some of you have never been to an
Speaker 1: event before. Our going to be out there tomorrow night
Speaker 1: for this event. It's gonna be a blast. Tracy on
Speaker 1: Twitch says Tom van Is, madd you didn't ask him
Speaker 1: to do a roast.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: I I wanted to reach out to Tom and Dan
Speaker 1: and asked them if they wanted to do the roast,
Speaker 1: but I didn't think that they were going to be
Speaker 1: available for this, and then I just end up.
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't end up reaching out. I should have.
Speaker 1: I should have because they would be They're both hilarious.
Speaker 1: Maybe next time, Maybe next time. If they're not also space. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not.
Speaker 2: It's not the biggest venue. It's a very exclusive event.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome about one hundred and fifty of
Speaker 1: our closest friends, and it is going to be something
Speaker 1: that I think is part of the show's history. And
Speaker 1: I'm excited for that and I'm ready, well not really ready,
Speaker 1: but I'll be ready soon. Chris, No, but I mean
Speaker 1: jokes lies my rebuttal. Why making sure everything's in line wise?
Speaker 1: But are you going to take notes there?
Speaker 3: I'm sure you you can't. That's a surprise, Okay, bitch.
Speaker 2: Is it like weirdly sized or saying nothing?
Speaker 3: It is a surprise. It's part of the Rose bro Please,
Speaker 3: I am not a part of the road.
Speaker 1: Actually allowed, Please tell me this isn't like all the
Speaker 1: furniture I've ordered in the past where it arrives and
Speaker 1: you're like, wait, hold.
Speaker 3: On, it's a great throne. A king has sat upon it.
Speaker 3: For sure.
Speaker 2: I sat on it, and it is comfortable. I did.
Speaker 4: I did sort of joke internally here that I hope
Speaker 4: it's uncomfortable just because you have to sit.
Speaker 2: There all night. I know I thought about it, but
Speaker 2: it is. It is very cushy.
Speaker 1: This is important the question I'm about to ask you,
Speaker 1: and I want you to.
Speaker 3: Be honest with me, and I don't know if I
Speaker 3: can answer, but go ahead.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be on video and it'll be something
Speaker 1: that hopefully people watch for a long time to come,
Speaker 1: very high quality.
Speaker 2: Probably are my feet going to touch the ground? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, because if this was some oversized chair and you
Speaker 1: make me look like a little puppet on it, in
Speaker 1: my feet are dangling above the ground for the entire
Speaker 1: like a kid in a restaurant or or something.
Speaker 3: Five eleven on me.
Speaker 2: I'm not five eleven. I'm six foot.
Speaker 1: I'm not and I'm not measuring myself because I don't
Speaker 1: want to see if that's gone down over the years.
Speaker 2: It's just too sad for me to imagine.
Speaker 3: Here. Am I going to bring measuring set to tomorrow?
Speaker 2: No, not doing that.
Speaker 1: There's no interactive elements here, prank monkey stuff.
Speaker 2: Ain't having what's wrong with this chair? Tell me?
Speaker 3: Chair is straight? And you're welcome because you see you
Speaker 3: a damn throne. You want a throne. I found your throne.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of thrones out there. I could
Speaker 1: have gotten the throne too. This was a good deal
Speaker 1: on a throne.
Speaker 3: And it's a great throne.
Speaker 2: I saw a picture of it. Though. Yes it's tiny,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 3: It's really you're gonna have to find out tomorrow.
Speaker 1: At the time, still looks like Will Ferrell at elf
Speaker 1: on this thing, aren't I it's gonna be big man
Speaker 1: man on a little chair, fat man on a little throwne.
Speaker 4: Jesus, fat man on a little thrown God.
Speaker 1: Damn it, man, I don't want this river all right
Speaker 1: here we got. Let's talk about this woman left behind
Speaker 1: by a cruise ship. Believe it or not, the details
Speaker 1: on this are as true as they are unhinged. And
Speaker 1: this was a woman who was on a cruise ship,
Speaker 1: on the Coral Adventurer, and she was on the Great
Speaker 1: Barrier reef.
Speaker 2: The woman is eighty years old.
Speaker 1: So they go on this island, I guess, and there's
Speaker 1: a resort there in various other things. The ship left
Speaker 1: the island, which is called Lizard Island. Let's see what
Speaker 1: we could find out about Lizard Island if that's out there.
Speaker 1: And they didn't notice that the woman wasn't with him.
Speaker 2: They just left and they didn't notice.
Speaker 3: That the woman was was she a lizard for a
Speaker 3: small woman there and oh.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll have to find out together. The crew thought
Speaker 1: she had fallen overboard a helicopter jumped in and then
Speaker 1: finally they found her body on Lizard Island.
Speaker 2: They had left her behind. It was the.
Speaker 1: It was the first stop of an eighty thousand dollars cruise.
Speaker 3: It like a little AirTag.
Speaker 1: You can get no no, no left to die by
Speaker 1: this cruise. An eighty year old Australian one was found
Speaker 1: dead on a Great Barrier Reef Island. She had been
Speaker 1: hiking Lizard Island, north of Cairns. I hope I'm saying
Speaker 1: that right. The ship left the island around sunset or
Speaker 1: returned several hours later. After the crew realized the woman
Speaker 1: was missing, a major search operation found her body on
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, though details have been released, This does happen.
Speaker 1: They tell you, guys have been on cruises. Right, you
Speaker 1: go on a cruise, they'll tell you you need to
Speaker 1: be back on the ship at this time.
Speaker 3: We're leaving your ass.
Speaker 2: It ain't a joke.
Speaker 1: There are compilations of people running down the dock after
Speaker 1: the cruise ship, and there are more people in the
Speaker 1: world than you.
Speaker 2: Despite your main character syndrome.
Speaker 1: In some cases, there are more people in the world
Speaker 1: than you, and the whole ship is not waiting because
Speaker 1: you wanted to stay at Buffalo Pize's a little bit longer.
Speaker 3: Now, riddle this, will the whole boat wait? If it's
Speaker 3: you a group before, you haven't gotten there in time?
Speaker 4: I think they wait if you book an excursion through
Speaker 4: the cruise line. I think that's usually one of the
Speaker 4: things that they guarantee to sort of entice you to
Speaker 4: spend your money with them even further and not book
Speaker 4: some sort of two bit excursion. Also, more than enticing you,
Speaker 4: it's to scare you away from the other hand, like
Speaker 4: go you go scuba diving with them?
Speaker 2: Sure, have fun, enjoy your Steve Scuba Steve is going
Speaker 2: to be a great time.
Speaker 1: What was the name of the restaurant, I just said,
Speaker 1: Buffalo Buffalozza or.
Speaker 2: Senior Frogs. Yeah, that's what I was going for. Senior Frogs. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Buffalo Pizza is.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: You can have that idea though, if you're if you're
Speaker 1: out there and you're an entrepreneur. Buffalo trademark, Buffalo Chicken
Speaker 1: Wings all Buffalo themed. All of the servers dress up
Speaker 1: with head dresses and stuff like Buffalo Bill.
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, that's different.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's different that I tucked in and did that dance?
Speaker 1: Would you do me? I do me that? Yeah? That
Speaker 1: that gun?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 4: Uh so this woman that pizza is even better coconut
Speaker 4: h He is the guy who wrote plag.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's Jimmy Buffett's.
Speaker 2: Number one enemy. Yeah, could move.
Speaker 3: This radio thing doesn't work. Restaurants name in restaurants.
Speaker 2: Okay. This woman is is no longer with us.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, she ended up dying on this island and now
Speaker 1: there's a huge investigation underway to figure out exactly what
Speaker 1: happened to her.
Speaker 2: They knew she was dead when they saw her.
Speaker 1: Because she wasn't moving and she was just clearly like
Speaker 1: a face down on the island, and they said, everybody,
Speaker 1: come back from the search. They found her with a
Speaker 1: chopper and they sent the experts in there to get
Speaker 1: the eighty year old woman on the first stop of
Speaker 1: her eighty thousand dollars. Crews, we're at the quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we have jury duty for you.
Speaker 1: In Jury duty. They blew some more drug boats up allegedly,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: In jury duty.
Speaker 1: We've also got some other big updates on stories we've
Speaker 1: been following for quite some time. Before too long, we
Speaker 1: have to get to what's going to happen with these benefits.
Speaker 1: And the worst idea I have ever heard in my
Speaker 1: life is before jury duty.
Speaker 9: Coming up next on the news, Chunkie.
Speaker 1: More feedback coming in a moment, dispatches and emails.
Speaker 2: Little tidbit for you though.
Speaker 1: First, you know that game we talked about the other night,
Speaker 1: this game at Dodger Stadium that went on for eighteen innings,
Speaker 1: all right, eighteen innings, you know, the World Series game
Speaker 1: went on for eighteen innings, And they said the strange
Speaker 1: thing was the national anthem was done by Brad Paisley,
Speaker 1: the country singer, and he has done the national anthem
Speaker 1: for the two longest games of all time.
Speaker 2: I think they were both eighteen innings, right, yeah, I
Speaker 2: think so. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And he also says it was Paisley who performed the
Speaker 1: anthem for three memorable and long World.
Speaker 2: Series contests in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: A game in twenty seventeen that went eleven innings, a
Speaker 1: game in twenty eighteen that went eighteen innings, A game
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four that went ten innings and now
Speaker 1: another eighteen inning game. So if Brad Paisley rips the
Speaker 1: lead to Star Spangled banner on the guitar, chances are
Speaker 1: that game is going to be going for a very
Speaker 1: long time.
Speaker 2: A very strange stat for him to be the proud
Speaker 2: owner of.
Speaker 1: The latest game was the Toronto Blue Jays beating the
Speaker 1: LA Dodgers six to two. The series is now tied
Speaker 1: at two to two. In the sports world, and I
Speaker 1: am just glued in. I've never been more excited about
Speaker 1: baseball self. No, it's a call him, mister Moore, baseball
Speaker 1: hill name. I mean, there's too much baseball, though, isn't there.
Speaker 2: It's like there's a.
Speaker 3: Game that goes on to three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3: Is too much baseball?
Speaker 2: Yeah? That's baseball?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I think it's okay. You know, I
Speaker 1: can't really say I haven't been to a baseball game
Speaker 1: in a long time. Maybe it's a blast now, Maybe
Speaker 1: I just totally missing out here. I do know this before,
Speaker 1: Jerry Didy, there are bad ideas, and then and there
Speaker 1: are really really really really really bad ideas. And this
Speaker 1: is what I would call a really really really bad
Speaker 1: idea that they're working on in Saudi Arabia. They are
Speaker 1: about to unveil, well, they have unveiled the designs for it.
Speaker 1: The first ever in the world sky stadium that they
Speaker 1: want to have together for the twenty thirty four World
Speaker 1: Cup game. No thank you, no thank you, the first
Speaker 1: ever sky stadium. The stadium is on the top of
Speaker 1: a skyscraper.
Speaker 3: And also has one end of said stadium sticking out.
Speaker 1: One end of the stadium is like jutted out, because
Speaker 1: you know, the stadium is wider than the top of
Speaker 1: the building.
Speaker 2: The stadium is on top of this building.
Speaker 1: Forty six thousand is the capacity forty six thousand people
Speaker 1: in a stadium on the top of a skyscreen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and will survive.
Speaker 1: And and like if somebody hits let's say it's baseball.
Speaker 1: I know they're going to do soccer stuff. But if
Speaker 1: somebody hits a home run right out of there and
Speaker 1: down onto the ground, I guess it will be a
Speaker 1: top a skyscraper. Some people saying that's badass. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I could do it. Can you imagine those
Speaker 1: bleed seats in the stadium on top of a skyscraper.
Speaker 2: No, I wonder if.
Speaker 4: There'd be a difference in price between the seats that
Speaker 4: are jutted out away from the building versus the ones
Speaker 4: that seem to be more in the building.
Speaker 1: I would want there to be pay a premium to
Speaker 1: be over the building. I think it would be freaky
Speaker 1: to not be. Somebody says, so are we good with
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia? Now, well, I don't know. This is not
Speaker 1: a comedian thing. This is a soccer hilarious and it
Speaker 1: is very bizarre to even look at. This is where
Speaker 1: we're at the I building a stadium on top of
Speaker 1: a sky scraper.
Speaker 2: Would you go?
Speaker 1: Would you attend an event in one of these? The
Speaker 1: first sky stadium let us know that seems like a
Speaker 1: bad idea.
Speaker 4: It is above the desert, so you wouldn't have to
Speaker 4: worry about it filling up with rain. There's one small
Speaker 4: I guess silver lining.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a fair point. I didn't think about that yet.
Speaker 3: Underneath the stadium, is that just your nine to five?
Speaker 1: Yep? Yep, Yeah, there's there's just a regular gigs up
Speaker 1: underneath that. There's a roof over part of it, but
Speaker 1: it's not fully covered. It's still open to the air,
Speaker 1: and it is freaky to consider, but there it is.
Speaker 1: Check it out. Actually, I'll put this up.
Speaker 2: On see it now. Give me a moment to screenshot
Speaker 2: this and put this up on the website.
Speaker 3: Hell no, image.
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. I would be very uncomfortable. I
Speaker 1: think it just seems like I'd be thinking about the
Speaker 1: whole time. Hey, I'm floating up in the air right
Speaker 1: now on top of a building in a stadium. I
Speaker 1: might give it a couple of years, you know, see
Speaker 1: see that it survives for a little bit before going
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 2: Read some of the reviews. You know, is it rickety?
Speaker 3: That height, the oxygen is different, is it not.
Speaker 2: It's at least a little different.
Speaker 4: I mean it might make whatever sports you're playing up
Speaker 4: there a little harder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the thing that stands out to me
Speaker 1: is just the idea that what if they play we
Speaker 1: will rock you or something, and everybody's like, I would
Speaker 1: actively encourage people not to do that.
Speaker 3: Where I on top of this thing, this is a
Speaker 3: gust of wind and the whole place will do that
Speaker 3: weird sway thing they ensure is only because they don't
Speaker 3: want the building to crumble.
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you do it? Let us know send us
Speaker 1: a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 2: The ESPN says it's not happening. They said it's not open.
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia says this is our first skuy stadium.
Speaker 1: The neom em. Now they might it's not real now
Speaker 1: just for the record.
Speaker 4: No, they might be referring to the fact that they're
Speaker 4: calling it a World Cup stadium.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's so.
Speaker 1: They are working on stadium's plan for construction because they're
Speaker 1: going to be hosting the twenty thirty four World Cup
Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia, and this is one of the concept
Speaker 1: videos for the potential designs as far as I can tell.
Speaker 2: That they're going to do.
Speaker 1: But it could never come to fruition, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: it might be impossible to build to begin with. But
Speaker 1: we'll see. All right, here we go. Let's do jury duty.
Speaker 1: Uh oh hang on now, court.
Speaker 5: Is now in session, so pret your phone down and
Speaker 5: paid attention before we call the bailiff over to whip

Speaker 2: So you guys, I don't know if you are for this.
Speaker 1: I really don't know if you have is This story
Speaker 1: kind of bothered me a little bit this morning because
Speaker 1: I started thinking about it a lot. So there's a
Speaker 1: California guys grandfather right seventy two years old and he
Speaker 1: ended up dying at a hotel and family went to
Speaker 1: check in on him. What's going on with this guy?
Speaker 1: Everything's going and waiting? Do you hear the scene waiting.
Speaker 1: Do you hear what went down? There's a lawsuit now,
Speaker 1: that's why I'm talking about it. In jury duty, It
Speaker 1: says a lawsuit filed earlier this month and Santa Clara
Speaker 1: County Superior Court was filed by family members of Los
Speaker 1: Angeles resident Terrell Johnson, seventy two years old. They alleged
Speaker 1: that there was a scalding hot shower at this hotel
Speaker 1: he was at in San Jose that led to his death.
Speaker 2: Here we go, buckle up.
Speaker 1: A veteran of the US Marine Corps or Marine Corps,
Speaker 1: Johnson made the six hour drive to San Jose with
Speaker 1: his family to see his gymnast granddaughter graduate from San
Speaker 1: Jose State University. After arriving at the Fairfield, that's the
Speaker 1: hotel where they were staying, the seventy two year old
Speaker 1: opted for a shower that was a bit hot, you
Speaker 1: might say. Johnson's grandson went to check on Grandpa, going on,
Speaker 1: how are you doing. He was found unresponsive, partially submerged
Speaker 1: in a bathtub and water so hot family members were
Speaker 1: unable to immediately pull him out.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, full broiled.
Speaker 1: They couldn't give him CPR because the water on his
Speaker 1: body was so hot it.
Speaker 2: Was burning them. What that's what was happening to them?
Speaker 1: They?
Speaker 3: I mean absolutely nutsman, And forgive me. Did you say
Speaker 3: he was taking a shower. He was taking to shut
Speaker 3: himself for a bath, and as soon as he dipped
Speaker 3: in dead.
Speaker 1: He was going into the shower to you know, wash
Speaker 1: himself up to get ready for this event. The scalding
Speaker 1: shower water was as hot as one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: six degrees. Right, one hundred and thirty six degrees. And
Speaker 1: here's one of the brutal lines.
Speaker 2: That's rare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, struggling to render life saving measures. Court documents claim
Speaker 1: family members quote were forced to watch in horror, has his.
Speaker 2: Skin peeled away from his right. I'm just telling you
Speaker 2: what the truth is. That's what it is.
Speaker 3: What's the method called learning that you suv.
Speaker 1: Souvetum sovetom at one hundred and thirty eight degrees. Plumbing
Speaker 1: code for California says it shouldn't be any hotter than
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty degrees. They said this was one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty six degrees. And they're suing the hospital or
Speaker 1: the hotel. I should say that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: That's going to change super forever for that family.
Speaker 2: How would you just let's fall down?
Speaker 3: Though we're no person, That's what happens.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: If I'm in this shower and I get hit with
Speaker 1: the scalding hot water, I feel like I would just
Speaker 1: jump out of the shower.
Speaker 3: But you do that and then you slip knock your
Speaker 3: head and you're now filling up.
Speaker 2: The tub with yeah.
Speaker 4: Or maybe he was rushing to the shower controls to
Speaker 4: turn it off and then slipped and he's just melting
Speaker 4: and they said shock man, any number of things.
Speaker 1: It's like the McDonald's coffee lawsuit kind of h he's cooked.
Speaker 1: How dare you guys?
Speaker 2: How he was cooked?
Speaker 1: He was literally Terrell Johnson seventy two years old, the
Speaker 1: family suing.

Speaker 1: breaking and entering, ma'ams, and you find yourself under risk. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to pay off for them,
Speaker 1: but they certainly they gave it a shot there.
Speaker 4: And my news video just dropped. I just do a
Speaker 4: bunch of B and e's. This little b and E video,
Speaker 4: it's the native TikTok prank.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't don't do that.
Speaker 1: Please, don't don't.
Speaker 3: Engage some murder for you, Part three brutal.
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back with a whole another
Speaker 1: hour for you on the show. The New York Times
Speaker 1: with a very strange article that I really want to
Speaker 1: dive into. On Halloween, Houston is freaking out because they
Speaker 1: think they might have a by you creature monster wandering
Speaker 1: around the city of Houston, Texas right now. It's the
Speaker 1: next generation of bigfoot folks. The buy You creature wandering
Speaker 1: around Houston, what's happening with that? And the latest on
Speaker 1: the battle over these food stamps.
Speaker 2: Some interesting developments there. It's all but up.
Speaker 1: Next in the news Junkie join the show with a
Speaker 1: dispatch that you record video or audio dispatches. Keep those
Speaker 1: video dispatches coming so we can test things out over
Speaker 1: at thenewsjunkie dot com. This is one of the most
Speaker 1: shared stories today. I am not making this up, just
Speaker 1: in case you were wondering, and it is absolutely one
Speaker 1: of the more popular stories, I would say, in fact,
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. And it's on the
Speaker 1: New York Times website right, and it says, literally, have
Speaker 1: Halloween decorations become too scary? And they're taking some shots
Speaker 1: here at Sea Lane. Even it says the skeletons are taller.
Speaker 1: He's got a big a skeleton in his front yard.
Speaker 1: But being tall alone doesn't make it scary. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is an eye of the beholder kind of thing.
Speaker 1: It depends on what you think is scary. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean a lot of this stuff is pretty scary.
Speaker 4: You think, like Gore is scary, that you know then
Speaker 4: you're that you're and you're writing this article, you're more
Speaker 4: likely to reference stuff like this. But just because something's
Speaker 4: twelve feet tall doesn't make it's scary.
Speaker 3: When I saw a twelve foot tall skeleton with a
Speaker 3: pilgrimsat on hold a turkey, that's not that scary.
Speaker 2: Let's see if we can agree on this.
Speaker 1: Do we all agree that it seems that things have
Speaker 1: gotten more aggressive with Halloween decorations and stuff.
Speaker 2: Over the last ten years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I think it's so you don't think it's
Speaker 1: like you don't think it's more like shocking stuff. There's
Speaker 1: just more stuff that you can buy overall.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's the because growing up and I don't know,
Speaker 3: I guess maybe I speak for myself, but I saw
Speaker 3: a lot of very gruesome scary setups as far as
Speaker 3: Halloween decorations, But that wasn't something you can just go by.
Speaker 3: Greativity was involved. Oh my gosh. There was one house
Speaker 3: we always went to where it was like the strobes
Speaker 3: and fog, but also a witch holding someone's head and
Speaker 3: the guts were falling out and people were hanging from
Speaker 3: the tree and whatever else. That I was truly frightened
Speaker 3: as a child, But that took creativity on the person's part.
Speaker 1: I don't like it's hard for me to remember exactly
Speaker 1: what the decorations were like when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: But I really don't think they were as aggressive as bloody,
Speaker 1: as much like crime scenes as But like, for instance,
Speaker 1: Courtney was out earlier and she sent U, hang on,
Speaker 1: I'll bring it up. The neighbors have some display and
Speaker 1: this is just like a simple one. They got the
Speaker 1: terrifire out there on the porch, and they got you know,
Speaker 1: penny wise from it, and they got like some spooky
Speaker 1: clowns on their front porch. There there's another neighbor that
Speaker 1: has And this is a trend I see all over
Speaker 1: the place.
Speaker 2: The garage doors scary things. Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get a big print on your garage door,
Speaker 1: and it's like a murder happening, or somebody being squished
Speaker 1: by the garage door, or.
Speaker 4: Just like the the clown like looking peering up from it.
Speaker 4: It looks like the garage half open.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like looking out.
Speaker 1: And now the New York Times says, have Halloween decorations
Speaker 1: become too scary. The skeletons are taller, the witches seem
Speaker 1: to be more lifelike. And the blood and gore is
Speaker 1: more plentiful. And I'll get into this in a second,
Speaker 1: but I will tell you if you look up old
Speaker 1: Halloween costumes, they were spooky. But I think they maybe
Speaker 1: were spooky because you had to make them yourself. Oh
Speaker 1: that handmade ones look creepier, the old school ones like that,
Speaker 1: The New York Times says. On a recent Sunday evening,
Speaker 1: Melody Parker took her two year old to Brooklyn to
Speaker 1: see a house in the area known for its elaborate
Speaker 1: Halloween displays.
Speaker 2: He loves classic.
Speaker 1: Halloween imagery, pumpkins, witches, ghost, spiders, and skeletons, says miss
Speaker 1: Parker thirty eight. During the home, though, was a ton
Speaker 1: of blood as well as dis membered bodies like a
Speaker 1: child's head. They were all moving and speaking and gesturing
Speaker 1: and making noises, they say. The decorations were illuminated in
Speaker 1: a way that made many of the figures and wounds
Speaker 1: appear more lifelike.
Speaker 4: You know, the technology behind some of these things also
Speaker 4: has gotten cheaper and smaller, and like, so the.
Speaker 2: Things like the visual effects.
Speaker 4: Visual effects are just like motorized things like that thing
Speaker 4: that I showed you guys, the video where.
Speaker 3: I launches itself like eight feet high.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that the head pops out, and my two year
Speaker 4: old got super scared or just started crying because it's
Speaker 4: just the jump scare. Those are a lot cheaper than
Speaker 4: they used to be.
Speaker 3: I have a giant blow up cat that's the Halloween cat,
Speaker 3: and I cannot tell you it comes off very fun
Speaker 3: and cute. I mean it's fluffy, filled with air. And
Speaker 3: how many children were absolutely terrified of it. Wow, would
Speaker 3: not even walk to get the candy because they hated
Speaker 3: the cat so much.
Speaker 2: The question is why?
Speaker 1: Because they're kitten Pharaoh Kitten on Twitch says, I feel
Speaker 1: like everybody's just becoming bigger whims? Are people becoming bigger
Speaker 1: whims about thisification of America? Being a little spooked is
Speaker 1: part of the delight of Halloween, But lately, some say
Speaker 1: genuine jump scares are abundant on stoops in front lawns,
Speaker 1: looming in doorways, and hanging from rafters as household decorations
Speaker 1: seem to have become more gory, more violent and unsettlingly realistic.
Speaker 1: I agree, I think that it has. I just don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't care, maybe because I'm an adult or something.
Speaker 1: But I do think it's become more gory, more violent,
Speaker 1: and more realistic, and I personally would say that could
Speaker 1: probably be directly attached to horror films. The latest horror
Speaker 1: films are generally speaking, more graphic, more violent than they were,
Speaker 1: and more mainstream. Horror films back in the seventies were
Speaker 1: not nearly as mainstream, and they weren't brought into polite society.
Speaker 1: And I think everything in Halloween and the spooky world
Speaker 1: really is very very downstream and derivative of things that happen.
Speaker 2: In these horror movies.
Speaker 1: Some of the most famous horror franchises of the moment
Speaker 1: are things like Terrifier or things like Long Legs, the
Speaker 1: Long Legs movie, things that are genuinely over the top, scary, gory,
Speaker 1: violent movies. I think it's downstream of that, and I
Speaker 1: think that for me, I don't really care, but probably
Speaker 1: if you're a parent, you might take this differently. So
Speaker 1: let us know what you think. Have Halloween decorations gotten
Speaker 1: too scary or people just whimps? Let us know over
Speaker 1: at thenewschunkie dot com. Okay, I wanted to get this
Speaker 1: because I mentioned it, so let me pay this off
Speaker 1: there's people freaking out online. They're suggesting that Houston may
Speaker 1: have a by you creature. There's a monster. It was
Speaker 1: right there, buddy. Problem.
Speaker 2: Houston may have a problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't go back. I can't go back.
Speaker 1: Now Houston has a by you creature now, they suggest.
Speaker 1: Paranormal and spooky stories have been making the rounds all
Speaker 1: over the internet. One that was posted by a TikTok
Speaker 1: user shows several helicopters flying over the city of Houston.
Speaker 1: It was a training exercise, or that's what they tell you,
Speaker 1: and part of the video, a shadow can be seen
Speaker 1: flying across the screen. Some people thought it was a
Speaker 1: shadow of a helicopter, or that's what they want you
Speaker 1: to believe. Others think that this is a by you
Speaker 1: creature on the loose in Houston, Texas. And they said
Speaker 1: there have been over twenty bodies pulled out of bayous
Speaker 1: around Houston in recent months. I don't think that's true.
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's true. That seems more like
Speaker 1: a TikTok thing.
Speaker 2: But all these.
Speaker 3: Years, you're now just coming out with their scary creature.
Speaker 1: Just now, yeah, yeah, just now. I've always seen it all,
Speaker 1: and there's stuff every once in a while that pops up.
Speaker 1: It's in the news and I'm like, oh, I guess man,
Speaker 1: I've seen this before. There's a video that's been getting
Speaker 1: some attention this week of this photographer in Spain captured
Speaker 1: what is believed to be the first ever white Iberian lynx,
Speaker 1: and they videotaped it and it's real, Like, this is real.
Speaker 1: So you captured things after all these years that are
Speaker 1: still real and very rare, like rare pokemon that you
Speaker 1: just haven't filmed or anything yet. This is legitimate and
Speaker 1: actually real. The Bayou Monster in Houston probably not. So
Speaker 1: this thing is crazy looking though, by the way, this
Speaker 1: lynx is, it's kind of stunning to look at. But
Speaker 1: first time ever spotted in the wild. I'll put this
Speaker 1: up on see it now, the.
Speaker 3: Same neck as Donald Trump. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: I can't tell how big it is because there's nothing
Speaker 1: by it, but it's a lynx and it's the first ever,
Speaker 1: like I know one that they've ever filmed. And so
Speaker 1: am I saying this right lucistic lucistic cat, which means
Speaker 1: I think that it doesn't have pigment. I'm not positive
Speaker 1: on that, but they said it's it's mythical and but
Speaker 1: but real at the same time. Already one of the
Speaker 1: world's rarest cats, the Iberian lynx was pulled back from
Speaker 1: the brink of extinction after its population fell well below
Speaker 1: one hundred.
Speaker 2: And two decades ago.
Speaker 1: So I'll put this up so you can take a
Speaker 1: peek at it on See It Now in just a
Speaker 1: moment here, and then we'll go to you your dispatches.
Speaker 1: We'll keep those rolling on the show. I'm actively trying
Speaker 1: to put this up so you could take a peek
Speaker 1: if you're listening to the show today. This is a
Speaker 1: lynx caught in the wild and it's over on thenewsjunki
Speaker 1: dot com in to See it Now section and never
Speaker 1: been before videotaped, and does not have herpes as far
Speaker 1: as we know, So I don't know. It's the information
Speaker 1: say for all the animals we've talked about today, No.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, some of these animals definitely got it. All right.
Speaker 1: We'll take a quick break and then we'll get back
Speaker 1: with this feedback, these dispatches and more info on the
Speaker 1: upcoming roast event that's.
Speaker 2: Going down tomorrow.
Speaker 1: A whole bunch more A short time to get it done.
Speaker 2: Stick with us.
Speaker 9: That's coming up next in the news Junkie.
Speaker 1: Your reactions, emails, and dispatches are on the horizon. I
Speaker 1: saw this story today. It seems like an onion story,
Speaker 1: but it's real. There's a story about Wolfgang van Halen
Speaker 1: and it says Wolfgang van Halen reacts to the term
Speaker 1: NEPO baby and he's not a bigger fan as you
Speaker 1: might imagine if the word neo baby, and he says,
Speaker 1: he says, I think the term nepo baby is a
Speaker 1: bit unfair. I think it takes the individuality of the
Speaker 1: person away. People say Jack Quaid is one of the
Speaker 1: good ones, and it's like, who decides that.
Speaker 2: So to address this real quick.
Speaker 1: First of all, Jack Quaid, who's Randy Quaid's son, and
Speaker 1: he's in a lot of new movies, Dennis Quaid, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Dennis Quaid's son, Jack Quaid, is want to be necessarily
Speaker 1: the nepo baby of Randy Quaid. He's a different Quaid altogether.
Speaker 1: He's the son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid is
Speaker 1: Jack Quaid, and.
Speaker 2: He was in the Boys and he's been in a
Speaker 2: lot of other stuff since that.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of other people in Hollywood right now,
Speaker 1: in this very moment that are like that, that their
Speaker 1: parents are famous and they're just now sort of making
Speaker 1: names for themselves.
Speaker 2: And nepotism has.
Speaker 1: Always been a thing that people have talked about, but
Speaker 1: the nepo baby insult thing is a little bit newer,
Speaker 1: just in terms of like social circles using this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff.
Speaker 2: So he says this is unfair.
Speaker 3: It's also not the first time he's had this rant.
Speaker 2: Oh he's done this before.
Speaker 3: Yes, And as soon as you brought it up, I'm like,
Speaker 3: I covered this because somebody was another musician called him
Speaker 3: out for that and he did not like it. And
Speaker 3: I only remember that because your name is Wolfgang van Halen. True,
Speaker 3: it screams nepo baby.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you really hated that kind of thing
Speaker 1: you maybe you should have dropped the van Halen part.
Speaker 2: Maybe Eddie van Halen could be his own thing.
Speaker 3: In your band and make all that money and going
Speaker 3: world towards well.
Speaker 1: His mom is also famous too. His mom's the actress
Speaker 1: of Valerie Bertinelli. But it's not always the case. And
Speaker 1: I agree with him on this front. It's not always
Speaker 1: the case that these people are like untalented or undeserving.
Speaker 4: I think it's a combination that the nepotism complained is
Speaker 4: a combination of well, yeah, especially if they're untalented, but
Speaker 4: also just the fast track to I mean, even if
Speaker 4: you are talented, the fast track to the job, the
Speaker 4: fast track to you know, getting the fame. Like Wolfgang
Speaker 4: van Halen was pulled out of high school to join
Speaker 4: van Halen.
Speaker 2: That there's some levels of privilege is at work there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And he took Wolfgang out of school for the tour.
Speaker 4: He missed eleventh grade, but he put plans for a
Speaker 4: new album on hold so that Wolfgang could graduate, and
Speaker 4: then a couple of years later they announced that they
Speaker 4: would record a new album with Wolfgang playing bass.
Speaker 2: That was back in twenty ten. So of course he
Speaker 2: doesn't like this.
Speaker 1: If you're if you had famous parents and people were
Speaker 1: calling you a neppo baby, you would hate it too.
Speaker 2: Everybody would hate it if you were in that position.
Speaker 1: I do beek good like I do that sometimes you're
Speaker 1: I think sometimes these people are good enough that it's
Speaker 1: like we shouldn't just look at him like.
Speaker 3: That, Like tomnks Kid, that's not Jet Colin Hanks, fantastic actor,
Speaker 3: great director, Jen Hanks not so good.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't be anybody if he wasn't related to Tom Hanks.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you think of like Wolfgang van Halen.
Speaker 4: Let's say I don't know what his skill level is,
Speaker 4: but let's say he's a really, really talented, stupid talented.
Speaker 4: If there was a kid at his school that played
Speaker 4: the bass guitar that was just as talented or more talented,
Speaker 4: would that.
Speaker 2: Kid have been picked for Van Halen?
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, would no, it would be no shot
Speaker 1: night nurse, says wolf He has his own band, Mammoth.
Speaker 1: He played all the instruments on his album. He is
Speaker 1: amazing life. I'm sure he is, and I'm sure he's very,
Speaker 1: very talented. The question is does he have a level
Speaker 1: of talent that would give him stardom without the attachment
Speaker 1: to his family, And in those cases, I think I
Speaker 1: would agree that the NEPO baby stuff is not fair.
Speaker 1: It's not like you just this is the only reason
Speaker 1: you're famous. There's so many of these people in Hollywood
Speaker 1: right now. You have Maud Apatow, who's Judd Apatow, the filmmaker,
Speaker 1: and Leslie Mann's child, Mad Appatoo. You have Lily Rose Depp,
Speaker 1: who's Johnny Depp's daughter, who's been like a model and
Speaker 1: popped up a whole bunch of stuff, Maya Hawk, Uma
Speaker 1: Thurman and Ethan Hawk's kid, Maya Hawk, who has been
Speaker 1: in stranger things.
Speaker 3: All of the pit, well, a good portion of the pit. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the show had a bunch.
Speaker 1: Of Dakota Johnson Don Johnson from some of you older
Speaker 1: folks know who Don Johnson is in Melody Griffith or
Speaker 1: Dakota Johnson's parents, Margaret qually who I don't know who
Speaker 1: Andy McDowell is, but.
Speaker 2: That's how you do from ground on a bed.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, all right, Well, Zoey Kravitz because Lenny Kravitz
Speaker 1: and parent Jack Quaid, Emma Roberts. A lot of these
Speaker 1: people they have famous parents, but sometimes you don't even know.
Speaker 1: It's like, I think, a good person to fight around
Speaker 1: this has been Rashida Jones because I only think of
Speaker 1: Rasheena Jones on her own. I don't think of Rashida
Speaker 1: Jones having famous parents. I don't think of Quincy Jones.
Speaker 1: I don't connect her with that at all, Rightly, I
Speaker 1: just think of her as somebody who's you know, famous
Speaker 1: in their own right. But yeah, he's one of many
Speaker 1: people who are fighting this and it kind of just
Speaker 1: seems like an onion story when they said that he's
Speaker 1: fighting the term nepos.
Speaker 4: I think it's just because he seems a little more
Speaker 4: nepo baby than some of the others do. Like, you know,
Speaker 4: you were on the cover of Guitar World with your dad.
Speaker 4: They called it the magazine's first father son issue in
Speaker 4: early two thousand and eight, when you weren't even done
Speaker 4: with high school yet you seem a little more nepo
Speaker 4: baby than some of the others.
Speaker 2: You don't, bassist, I don't disagree with that, sorry, bassist.
Speaker 1: What about if you were the parent in your mega
Speaker 1: famous would you do that for your kids or would
Speaker 1: you be like, no, oh, I don't want to do this,
Speaker 1: or you'll be a nepo baby.
Speaker 2: I feel like any.
Speaker 1: Good parent is going to try to help their kid along.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like Lil.
Speaker 1: Wayne when he came to town, He's like, oh, here's
Speaker 1: my son, and like his son came out and sang
Speaker 1: a couple of songs.
Speaker 2: How was decent.
Speaker 3: Talent and your child or give him the expertise that
Speaker 3: you have you know, acquired being a famous actor or a musician,
Speaker 3: then why not? Now are those same parents going to
Speaker 3: acknowledge their kid is really bad and talentless and probably
Speaker 3: just gonna trust fund it when they're dead?
Speaker 2: Maybe? I don't know.
Speaker 3: Are they willing to be that honest? Are they going
Speaker 3: to talk to all their exacts like you gotta make
Speaker 3: sure he's in this movie or I'm done?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Let us know what you think.
Speaker 1: Is this unfair sometimes for these younger people where their
Speaker 1: parents are famous or do they deserve it?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: The weird part about Wolfgang is that he said in
Speaker 4: an interview once he didn't know his dad was a
Speaker 4: famous musician, he claims, come on, until he started picking
Speaker 4: up CDs and seeing his father's picture on them.
Speaker 2: So like, so, what was the deal?
Speaker 4: Did they shield Wolfgang young Wolfgang Wolfy.
Speaker 2: Until high school?
Speaker 4: Until high school when they had a perfectly good bass
Speaker 4: player for Van Halen?
Speaker 2: Did you fire.
Speaker 3: Him any curiosity when you were living in a giant
Speaker 3: mansion and had houses elsewhere and platinum records on the water.
Speaker 2: Now think back to your childhood.
Speaker 1: Is there any way your parents could have been secretly famous?
Speaker 2: No way, I would absolutely know that. I would absolutely
Speaker 2: be aware of that. Boy.
Speaker 1: Dylan, my son is in chat right now. He's a
Speaker 1: chat NEPO baby. I don't have the weight to toss
Speaker 1: you too far, Dylan. Otherwise I would I'd be like, Hey,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to get in radio, I'd be like,
Speaker 1: I will do anything I can to support you. I
Speaker 1: will help you out in every way I can. And
Speaker 1: who cares if people call you an epo baby? By
Speaker 1: the way, why does it matter when you're on the
Speaker 1: cover of all those guitar magazines, when you're traveling the world,
Speaker 1: when you're in fancy hotels, when you're playing beautiful venues?
Speaker 1: Does any of that really matter because at the end
Speaker 1: you're still achieving some level of success.
Speaker 2: I guess it just still hurts. Real quick.
Speaker 1: Let's go over to one of the greatest channels on television.
Speaker 1: It is burned into my TV. I cannot stop watching it.
Speaker 1: It's news Max. It's news Max. My god, is it good.
Speaker 1: I've never watched news Max in my life. I don't
Speaker 1: even know where I would find it. I think it's
Speaker 1: a high one. But they go on rants over there
Speaker 1: that I don't know. I just don't see other people
Speaker 1: talking about them. There's one guy this is going viral today.
Speaker 1: This guy is Rob finner Ty, and he is going
Speaker 1: on a rant about people in modern media pronouncing Spanish
Speaker 1: names and like leaning into the Spanish accent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a new order at an Italian restaurant's muzza.
Speaker 1: Yeah, give me the muzzarella or the uh uh whatever
Speaker 1: it is that would be an Italian version, Or if
Speaker 1: somebody was saying uh like erikaenglicias or something and you
Speaker 1: start to like ramp it up and you really go
Speaker 1: extra on the pronunciation of it.
Speaker 2: And I guess this pissed this guy off. So let's
Speaker 2: listen it here at another night tonight.
Speaker 13: The New York City mayoral debate last night. But I'm
Speaker 13: less interested in what the candidates actually said, and I'm
Speaker 13: more interested how.
Speaker 1: They Well, you work for Newsmax, so you should be
Speaker 1: pretty interested in what they said.
Speaker 14: Senior politics editor at Politico Sally Goldenberg and tell Lemundo
Speaker 14: forty seven anchor Rose.
Speaker 1: Okay, so he wants people to go, We've got Dave Smith,
Speaker 1: John Johnson and Rosalina or whatever, just like a flat
Speaker 1: at baton way to yeah, to pronounce the name. He's
Speaker 1: triggered that the guy leaned into.
Speaker 14: That politico Sally Gold and tell them wundow forty seven
Speaker 14: acre roo our debate.
Speaker 13: Oh all right, so we have talked about this and
Speaker 13: I don't just I just don't get why we do this,
Speaker 13: who started it, when this started? But whenever it is
Speaker 13: a Spanish name, we are all suddenly required and expected
Speaker 13: to shape shift into the perfect Spanish accents.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll stop it here because a couple of points.
Speaker 1: One who's telling anybody to do this?
Speaker 2: This guy does this. I'll tell you I don't do this.
Speaker 1: I try to just pronounce things the best I can
Speaker 1: say a lot of things around here, but.
Speaker 2: I never flare this up. So I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't feel any pressure to like lean in and
Speaker 1: really pronounce things.
Speaker 3: And see something on the news and it's like, obviously
Speaker 3: they have a gun to their head and they have
Speaker 3: to do it. Because the crazy woke left is making you.
Speaker 1: Of all the things that people think we're told to
Speaker 1: do working in media, that is not one of them.
Speaker 1: Nobody's ever who moves pronounce the names like this, never
Speaker 1: heard that before. I've never personally personally felt any social
Speaker 1: pressure to do that at all. I mean, there's huge
Speaker 1: social pressure on political fronts like different you know, things
Speaker 1: you have to have, like the right opinion. But to
Speaker 1: do this, like if he just said her name flat out,
Speaker 1: do we think that people will go.
Speaker 2: Whoa buddy? What in the gringo is that? What are
Speaker 2: you doing right now?
Speaker 3: Also turn those tables? Would he lose his mind if
Speaker 3: his name was completely butchered?
Speaker 1: Oh? What is his nfinnerity something? So I think he
Speaker 1: talks about that.
Speaker 13: Normal everyday news people do it all the time. They
Speaker 13: forget years of training, they forget their non regional addiction
Speaker 13: that Telemundo anchors. By the way, Rose Arena Breton just
Speaker 13: say Rose Arena Breton.
Speaker 2: But for whatever reason, we.
Speaker 13: All feel the need to pronounce it like we're living
Speaker 13: in Mexico, like we're living in a country where Spanish
Speaker 13: is the native tongue.
Speaker 2: That's not the case here in the US. But also
Speaker 2: he not but I taught me up, he said.
Speaker 13: If I couldn't understand what he was saying, as I've
Speaker 13: said before, I am irish. And if I was moderating
Speaker 13: that debate with the host to introduce me as Robert
Speaker 13: James finner ty, don't you know what is happening.
Speaker 3: Sure, don't say, don't you know you're an idiot? What
Speaker 3: an idiot?
Speaker 1: By the way, there's there's a lot of you're an American, buddy,
Speaker 1: are you not?
Speaker 2: Like I don't.
Speaker 1: I never understand why people do that. Like I'm Irish, buddy,
Speaker 1: You're not Irish. You weren't born in Ireland. You're you're
Speaker 1: you're an Irish American at best. At some point you
Speaker 1: just become somebody from the new place, so you're American.
Speaker 1: I don't consider myself French or Irish, even though that's
Speaker 1: my actual makeup. It's all French fifty percent Irish. I
Speaker 1: don't connect with that at all. Maybe I'm the weirdo here.
Speaker 4: My bio doesn't say Swedish American Christopher Lane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't make us pronounce your name in some
Speaker 1: sort of Swedish chef. Kind know that there is one.
Speaker 3: It's on the topic. It is Sabrina from Arena Sabrina.
Speaker 1: If I did that, it would be cringe. If you
Speaker 1: do that. For some people, it is. It's a little cringe.
Speaker 1: It's not when somebody maybe this guy's Spanish. I don't
Speaker 1: even know who this dude is. Maybe he's Hispanic dude.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, and she's also there physically, so why not
Speaker 3: put a little bit more efforts so it's not word
Speaker 3: for the guests that are all there. Huh.
Speaker 2: I just never felt any pressure to do this. Dad,
Speaker 2: that is Robert James.
Speaker 13: If the host was Chinese, would they then do it?
Speaker 2: Pussy? If the host was Chinese, do it.
Speaker 13: Boost that person with a Chinese accent? I don't think so.
Speaker 13: Doing it when they're Spanish just stop it. Also, we
Speaker 13: don't need to say all three names when they are Spanish.
Speaker 13: No one describes me as Robert James Finnerty. I'm just
Speaker 13: Rob Finnerty. We don't need to say kill mar Abregio Garcia.
Speaker 13: It's just killmar Garcia. I don't know who starts.
Speaker 1: This is what happens sometimes when people don't necessarily understand
Speaker 1: how news journalism work, and then they end up in
Speaker 1: news and journalism.
Speaker 2: I don't know this guy's history.
Speaker 3: But his whole thing is like, when do we have
Speaker 3: to do this? So I'm gonna tell you what you
Speaker 3: have to do. It's just a vicious circle. He's like,
Speaker 3: don't don't do that anymore. Stop doing it because you're
Speaker 3: gonna make me, no one did do that with the
Speaker 3: Spanish name, and then he goes on with his Irish accent. Bitch.
Speaker 1: The secondary criticism is particularly dumb because saying that, don't
Speaker 1: say there are three names with their hispanic.
Speaker 2: A lot of times people will use full names in.
Speaker 1: The context of news because it's important to be specific
Speaker 1: about who you're talking about, Especially if somebody has a
Speaker 1: rather generic name. They want to make sure that they
Speaker 1: state a middle name, if at all possible, on that person.
Speaker 1: We've talked about this before on the show, where sometimes
Speaker 1: that keeps you free from lawsuits. Sometimes it's a better
Speaker 1: descriptor again, I've just I have not personally felt any
Speaker 1: pressure on that front.
Speaker 2: But there you go.
Speaker 1: That's what's happening over on Newsmax these days. What a
Speaker 1: time to be a that and we're just blowing up
Speaker 1: these narco terrorists. I guess this was another one of
Speaker 1: these blasts on a boat. All right, boat boat chilling,
Speaker 1: two boats actually two boats chilling, and then no more,
Speaker 1: no more.
Speaker 3: That we're sharing this footage.
Speaker 2: They blew this one up.
Speaker 1: But this is is this the same one or is
Speaker 1: that trying to Oh it's on fire. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: fully engulfed in flames afterwards, and this says, this is
Speaker 1: from Fox News. Four more vessels, oh, four more vessels
Speaker 1: were hit trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific.
Speaker 2: This has to have an impact at some point in time.
Speaker 1: These narco terrorists have killed more Americans in al Qaeda,
Speaker 1: and they will be treated the same. We will attract them,
Speaker 1: we will network them, and then we will hunt and
Speaker 1: kill them. They say, this is from the Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 1: Slash war, it's a newer name. And they keep bombing
Speaker 1: these narco terrorists in uh in the Caribbean and and elsewhere.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see what you.
Speaker 1: Think about that too, because we got to come back.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I apologize, not sorry.
Speaker 4: Was that bigger or smaller than the one I saw
Speaker 4: there making fun of you during the break for they said,
Speaker 4: what a week burp Sean.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, I saw somebody type that,
Speaker 1: and I didn't even remember burping, so I was like, oh, no, am,
Speaker 1: I just like burping and not being aware of it.
Speaker 2: Now, that's bad. I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: That's far worse than putting a couple Tilda's on somebody's
Speaker 1: name or rolling your RS a little bit more, but
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not doing that. All right, We're going
Speaker 1: to take a quick break when we come back. Here's
Speaker 1: what we're doing, the final dispatches, the stories that didn't
Speaker 1: make the cut, they will be squeezed in here. And
Speaker 1: today I learned to wrap everything up for a Wednesday
Speaker 1: that is coming up next on the news.
Speaker 6: Chunk key.
Speaker 1: All right, a couple of clips on the way out
Speaker 1: that I haven't played or gotten due First, I guess
Speaker 1: they were talking about blowing up these drug boats on MSNBC.
Speaker 1: Let's see what they said over there.
Speaker 2: They're not terrorists.
Speaker 15: They may be drug runners, we don't know that for sure.
Speaker 15: But just because you call somebody a terrorist, we call
Speaker 15: lots of people terrorists, doesn't mean that the military is
Speaker 15: authorized to go after them and if no other reason.
Speaker 15: And look, I talked to an awful lot of people who,
Speaker 15: despite the fact that this is illegal, or comfortable with
Speaker 15: lethal action against against purported maybe cartel members.
Speaker 2: Where does it stop?
Speaker 15: Do we now start executing drug dealers on the corners
Speaker 15: of Brooklyn?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 2: Where does it stop? If all of a sudden I.
Speaker 1: Don't know who this dude is, but he's obviously kind
Speaker 1: of sounded off against these boat strikes on on MSNBC.
Speaker 1: That's what he's talking.
Speaker 15: Government, without telling anybody anything, can take this kind of
Speaker 15: lethal action just because they've decided that they've got the
Speaker 15: right to do so. Lindsey Graham and other Republicans want
Speaker 15: to go the route of saying it's okay to kill
Speaker 15: people illegally just so long as the American public supports it.
Speaker 15: The American public needs to really think that through. You know,
Speaker 15: there will be a Democratic president someday, and all my
Speaker 15: MAGA friends who are you know, cheering on these illegal
Speaker 15: killings need to imagine who gets killed when President Alexandria
Speaker 15: Ocasio Cortes says that it doesn't matter what the law says,
Speaker 15: she's going to do what she's going to do.
Speaker 2: So look, all.
Speaker 1: Right, so he's saying, if we keep up this precedent
Speaker 1: on MSNBC, he's saying, well, now, when somebody else takes over,
Speaker 1: a Democrat takes over, they could just blow people like
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham up, because you know, that's what we're going for.
Speaker 1: Sort of bloodthirsty and really I think a great example
Speaker 1: of just how rotten a lot of things have gotten
Speaker 1: in the political world as of late. But let us
Speaker 1: know what you think. I did see this and I
Speaker 1: love this. Somebody shared this clip of Neo the Robot
Speaker 1: that we started off with today, good old Neo the Robot,
Speaker 1: and they said, when I stay out a little too
Speaker 1: late with the boys and try to make it up
Speaker 1: to my wife by doing the dishes before she wakes up,
Speaker 1: and it's Neo.
Speaker 2: No trying not to fall over. Well, it's kind of
Speaker 2: shut the door.
Speaker 1: It's like, I stay up too late and I try
Speaker 1: to do the dishes, make things.
Speaker 3: Up exactly that so many times I.
Speaker 1: Away, Yeah, it was still it's still not perfected to.
Speaker 2: This Neo the Robot. I'll put this up.
Speaker 1: On see it now, because this does look like he's
Speaker 1: absolutely hammered. Hang on, oh, grab this right now.
Speaker 4: Does Neo not like bend over and like put its
Speaker 4: arm on the table to feel.
Speaker 3: Like this is monthly subscription Neo versus just paying all out.
Speaker 1: He's a bit of a discount version. Neo does dishes.
Speaker 1: I'll put that up on see it now. Check out
Speaker 1: the link over there when you get a chance. It's
Speaker 1: definitely funny and a good time. Let's get that up.
Speaker 1: Hold on where to go there she is. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: up on the NEEWS Hunky dot com and to see
Speaker 1: it now section any other clips I didn't get to,
Speaker 1: Let me just double check. Oh, the White House is
Speaker 1: all done up for Halloween. They got shocking amount of
Speaker 1: pumpkins us A lot of pumpkins up there, a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of fall leaves. It says, Halloween twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five looks kind of nice.
Speaker 2: Um and uh, I.
Speaker 1: Think that'll do it for today. Now let's see what
Speaker 1: we got here. It's time to do the final Yes,
Speaker 1: that's right, final dispatch. These are the final dispatches, but Sean.
Speaker 2: Will probably only play We'll see what we got here.
Speaker 1: Let's do some choice dispatches on the way out. And
Speaker 1: we don't have a lot of time, so I probably
Speaker 1: will only play one. But let me refresh just for
Speaker 1: the latest. Here is somebody with a question about tomorrow
Speaker 1: and the roast.
Speaker 7: Hey, what's up, junkies, Hey Jordan, big four day weekend?
Speaker 7: Well deserved time off four days.
Speaker 2: Sean got a question. We're not taking a four day weekend.
Speaker 1: Just for the record, I'm not. We're taking Friday off
Speaker 1: after the Rose, so h three day weekend and back
Speaker 1: on recent four day he did say that about tomorrow.
Speaker 7: Kind of hat you gonna wear and what you're gonna
Speaker 7: be dressed in? You goa dress formal?
Speaker 2: No, your business. I know you're gonna wear a hat.
Speaker 2: You're gonna wear for Dora. You're gonna wear like a
Speaker 2: top hat. No, since you're gonna be sitting in the throne,
Speaker 2: you'll be.
Speaker 7: Wearing like a king's crown. Maybe details Anyway, y'all enjoyed time.
Speaker 7: Wish I could be there.
Speaker 2: You'll see.
Speaker 1: It's a lot on way to find out, sir, you
Speaker 1: will see if you're at the event. Oh shoot, we're
Speaker 1: way behind. Okay, let's get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1: Here we gotta listen to Today.
Speaker 5: I learned the following information may make you feel smarter,
Speaker 5: but will not actually increase your IQ.
Speaker 12: So don't get cocky.
Speaker 2: How it's done.
Speaker 1: What we call today.
Speaker 2: Is today I learned for a.
Speaker 1: Wednesday, October twenty ninth, twenty twenty five. Today I learned
Speaker 1: this television Show'star Trek samn star Trek is correct. When
Speaker 1: the studio behind Star Trek received a letter from a
Speaker 1: builder asking how to make automated sliding doors that opened
Speaker 1: and closed as fast as they did on the Enterprise.
Speaker 1: The reply explained the doors were manually operated by a crewman.
Speaker 1: If too late, the cast would smash into them, so
Speaker 1: they didn't want to do that. It really takes away
Speaker 1: from all the cool Star Trek moments when you know
Speaker 1: that there was somebody physically like sliding those doors open.
Speaker 1: I don't want to think about that, but I guess
Speaker 1: that's how it actually went to Taylor.
Speaker 2: There was a man named Charles Jensen. Let me tell
Speaker 2: you about him.
Speaker 1: Charles Jensen underwent nine one hundred and seventy surgeries between
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty four and nineteen ninety four to remove facial tumors.
Speaker 1: This is the most number of surgeries ever performed on
Speaker 1: a single person.
Speaker 4: After a while, couldn't he just take them off himself?
Speaker 4: Wouldn't he just know the procedure.
Speaker 3: And probably look still?
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's with us any longer, but
Speaker 1: Charles Jensen got nine hundred and seventy total surgeries.
Speaker 2: He went to for Halloween Swiss cheese.
Speaker 1: Probably that's a rough, rough, rough one, but God bless
Speaker 1: about there somewhere. And finally going back to the slow horses,
Speaker 1: whole thing.
Speaker 2: Actually seeing that show.
Speaker 4: You know, somebody was complained about our take on it,
Speaker 4: saying it's a good show.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I should have watched her, and I learned.
Speaker 1: This Dancing Horses, this big Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones is correct.
Speaker 1: Yet the Rolling Stones Wild Horses is the even song.
Speaker 1: Dancing Horses was the remix. It's a couple of years later.
Speaker 1: The Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones had four children before
Speaker 1: he turned twenty two, of them before he was eighteen
Speaker 1: years old. This guy, by the way, when people get
Speaker 1: trigger to that, like this.
Speaker 2: Show's great, what are you talking about show? All I
Speaker 2: said was.
Speaker 1: That the low Horses title isn't really appealing.
Speaker 2: It just doesn't draw me in the Thank you so
Speaker 2: much for hanging out with us. We'll talk tomorrow the
Speaker 2: same time, same place.
