Speaker 1: be the problem. I'm nervous. I text my wife this morning.
Speaker 1: I said, babe, this this is how, this is how
Speaker 1: it ends. Here's the deal.
Speaker 2: You're going to have to do the show from the
Speaker 2: bathroom if you get the cyclo, if you guess the thing.
Speaker 4: Any other time, I would say, that's cool. Let's run
Speaker 4: a really long cord. I won't put the way came
Speaker 4: in there. We can just have like a little picture
Speaker 4: of cam.
Speaker 1: What the hell?
Speaker 4: But there is a party at iHeart today?
Speaker 1: Yeah they what are they celebrating Christmas in July? Oh? Great? Perfect?
Speaker 2: And so are you worried about the bathroom being full
Speaker 2: of these people?
Speaker 4: Yes, you can't do a bathroom radio show when stuff
Speaker 4: like that's going on. Okay, I'm going to change it.
Speaker 4: Then I'm changing it. The title is going to be.
Speaker 4: I think we have the cyclose.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what's going on here
Speaker 1: spreading around.
Speaker 2: We'll get into the latest on that in just a
Speaker 2: little bit here on the show, obviously. Right now, let's
Speaker 2: start by putting our ears at the ground, our fingers
Speaker 2: on the pulse. Let's see what's happening to this great, big,
Speaker 2: wide world of ours.
Speaker 1: And we're getting ready for the World.
Speaker 2: Cup finals, right, so some of you folks can party
Speaker 2: as hard as you possibly want to, and some of
Speaker 2: you folks can get done with people talking about soccer
Speaker 2: for the entirety.
Speaker 1: Of the year.
Speaker 2: Those are the two goals, right you want that kind
Speaker 2: of goal? How you want soccer to just go away?
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of where you're at right now. Let's
Speaker 2: see what's happening on Sky News as England loss. They
Speaker 2: lost to Argentina two to one in the World Cup
Speaker 2: semi final. The English fans were very angry. The Brits
Speaker 2: were not happy about losing, obviously, and Argentina is going
Speaker 2: to go on to play Spain in the World Cup finals,
Speaker 2: so that should be exciting. But the Brits were angry
Speaker 2: and and some of them were really drunk. The reporters
Speaker 2: were out there trying to cover this. Here's one of
Speaker 2: the interactions that went a little south. It's anything any.
Speaker 1: They have, don't Troy for them.
Speaker 2: Argentina, I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 5: Had a lot of alcohol today and spent an awful
Speaker 5: lot of their money.
Speaker 1: I like I should get said to that.
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of fans that have had a
Speaker 2: lot of alcohol today.
Speaker 1: Talk about the Falklands.
Speaker 2: He brought up the Falkland Islands, which, for those of
Speaker 2: you missed it yesterday, I briefly told people what's going
Speaker 2: on here. The Falkland Islands are a little chain of
Speaker 2: islands off the coast of Argentina, which is to the
Speaker 2: very south of South America. Long strip on the the
Speaker 2: east coast of South America, the long skinny part on
Speaker 2: the right right off the coast of that. Argentina has
Speaker 2: these little islands called the Falkland Islands, and Argentina says
Speaker 2: those are our islands, and England says those are our islands.
Speaker 2: And there's been a battle going on, so that's why
Speaker 2: he brought up the Falkland Islands. At the beginning, some
Speaker 2: of the Argentinian fans had signs out there that were like,
Speaker 2: we're taking back the Falkland Islands and it's it's a
Speaker 2: whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's a whole thing.
Speaker 2: Sounds like something you can't say, Yes, it does, but
Speaker 2: you're allowed to.
Speaker 6: Have Don croy for then Argent's true.
Speaker 3: A lot of alcohol.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of alcohol.
Speaker 2: Indeed, that's what she says the lady over on Sky
Speaker 2: News having to deal with the drunks after the World
Speaker 2: Cup game. I was going to open up with another
Speaker 2: clip for you guys, but I just I couldn't bring
Speaker 2: myself to do it. I'll play it here, I'll try
Speaker 2: to keep it around for a bit. But the Argentinian
Speaker 2: broadcast was literally so intense that I thought it would
Speaker 2: be too much for you guys to start the show.
Speaker 4: With, like the guy, that it would be too much,
Speaker 4: Like what would you mean, what's too much? I feel
Speaker 4: like the guy almost had a heart attack, and it's
Speaker 4: just it was so much that when you watch it,
Speaker 4: I go, I think it's too much. It's going to
Speaker 4: be an assault on the ear drums of you the
Speaker 4: listener today. I'll give you an example of what I'm
Speaker 4: talking about here, because this is why I had to
Speaker 4: switch to the other drunk guy clip at the beginning
Speaker 4: to start the show. This is the ur Argentinian World
Speaker 4: Cup broadcast what it is? And saw okay, so far he's
Speaker 4: just doing a play by play in another language, and
Speaker 4: he's really a tense about it.
Speaker 1: But you know, gets more nicking on, said, come messing,
Speaker 1: I heard messy. I did send me a messy messy again.
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: This guy's gonna die, right, that's gonna be what I
Speaker 4: look like broadcasting from the toilet. Later they will have
Speaker 4: the score on the bottom cyclo sport one zero.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not doing so well. So there they go. The
Speaker 2: congratulations to the final teams, which is Argentina and Spain.
Speaker 2: They're now headed for the World Cup finals and the
Speaker 2: rest of you can get past all this World Cup stuff, right,
Speaker 2: So that's going on. The Other thing that's super interesting
Speaker 2: is we started the show yesterday with this clip of
Speaker 2: these Canadians driving a train through an inferno, and I
Speaker 2: mean an inferno because California is on fire, fire in
Speaker 2: every direction.
Speaker 1: Canada is on fire right now.
Speaker 2: California is probably on fire somewhere too, but Canada is
Speaker 2: on fire right and Canada whipped up by all these
Speaker 2: flames is causing this massive smoke plume today and through
Speaker 2: maybe the whole weekend, and the massive smoke plume is
Speaker 2: just covering it looks like apocalyptic in New York today,
Speaker 2: New Jersey, Pennsylvania. This smoke cloud from Canada is covering
Speaker 2: that area. Now here's the kicker. As far as I know,
Speaker 2: I'm not a big sports guy, but as far as
Speaker 2: I know it, the World Cup Finals are being held
Speaker 2: in New Jersey, and so it could well be that
Speaker 2: the situation with the World Cup Finals would be these
Speaker 2: two teams playing each other, Argentina on one side, Spain
Speaker 2: on the other side, everybody all riled up, and then
Speaker 2: the background will be the sky will be looking like
Speaker 2: the apocalypse is taking place. That would be ridiculous, yes,
Speaker 2: also very fascinating to watch. And I don't know what
Speaker 2: they would do about it, because all of that smoke
Speaker 2: has to be, without a shadow of a doubt, bad
Speaker 2: for the lungs of the athletes be performing. Right.
Speaker 4: It is a couple of years ago when I was
Speaker 4: flying up to New York to go with my wife
Speaker 4: and my mother.
Speaker 1: We were going to see Dave Matthews, benn and Queens.
Speaker 4: And at like that it was an old out door
Speaker 4: stadium where they used to have the US Open. I
Speaker 4: think it was like like they did big tennis matches
Speaker 4: there and that. Remember when we had all those videos
Speaker 4: of New York when it looked orange outside. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that was just clearing up and we were not sure
Speaker 4: if like we were going to fly into this and
Speaker 4: have to like I don't know. Ashley was pregnant at
Speaker 4: the time, so her mom was super worried and like
Speaker 4: telling her about it.
Speaker 2: Was doomsday looking. I remember that right, people were taking
Speaker 2: pictures and stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, her mom was telling her to like get an
Speaker 4: N ninety five mask and bring it with us just
Speaker 4: in case, like COVID style, just because we didn't know
Speaker 4: how the air quality was gonna be. Unluckily, it cleared
Speaker 4: up and it didn't even really smell once we got there,
Speaker 4: but the couple days leading up to us going there,
Speaker 4: it was a big concern.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to tell you, hold on, let me
Speaker 2: see if I can bring this up. Here's Yahoo News
Speaker 2: with a story about what's happening here. They say wildfire,
Speaker 2: smoke and bad air quality threatened sports, Yankees, Blue Jays,
Speaker 2: World CU Finals, Phillies, Mets, and more games to watch closely,
Speaker 2: and they're saying that like this, this is so bad,
Speaker 2: all of this smoke. Oh, there's some people already posting
Speaker 2: the photos of it. Over on chat. There's people posting
Speaker 2: photos of the sky is just dark with smoke. I mean,
Speaker 2: it looks like nighttime in some places, and it's only.
Speaker 1: Gonna get worse.
Speaker 2: So the World Cup Final could be playing out with
Speaker 2: this sort of in the back draw.
Speaker 4: The crazy thing is everything that you just mentioned, Yankees,
Speaker 4: Blue Jays, Phillies, Mets, everything you mentioned that's not the
Speaker 4: World Cup Final is easily able to be rescheduled. I
Speaker 4: mean Baseball, there's so many games, like how would they
Speaker 4: even notice one was missing? But the World Cup Final,
Speaker 4: people traveling in from all over the world, people paying
Speaker 4: huge money, huge monies for tickets, for hotel, rooms, for trains.
Speaker 4: I mean, that would be disastrous to have to try
Speaker 4: and call that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy, but possibly what we're gonna be looking at.
Speaker 2: So we'll keep an eye on the apocalypse World Cup
Speaker 2: watch while we look at our emails and get into
Speaker 2: everything else. Here on the News Junkie Today, Chris emails
Speaker 2: the show and he says, hello, you brought up an
Speaker 2: email about a girl sleeping at a wah wah. They
Speaker 2: aren't marketed as rest stops. A decent amount of wahwahs
Speaker 2: even went so far as to take out their tables
Speaker 2: and chairs and installed tables where you can stand, or
Speaker 2: didn't even replace them at all. The problem is at
Speaker 2: wahwah they just don't want people hanging out there all day.
Speaker 2: The woman who emailed said she was tired, but if
Speaker 2: she keeps it up, she's going to get trespassed from
Speaker 2: that store. She said she was struggling to find a
Speaker 2: job out there doing delivery, and she would nod off
Speaker 2: every once in a while. She wanted to be safe,
Speaker 2: so she would go sleep at the wahwah after getting gas.
Speaker 2: She was a customer, but that person saying she could
Speaker 2: get in even more trouble. The battle over daylight saving time,
Speaker 2: Todd emails and says the tips of the neewsjunki dot com.
Speaker 1: Our Congress is so dumb.
Speaker 2: I agree that changing the clocks twice a year is
Speaker 2: silliness and should be changed, but why would they pass
Speaker 2: a law to stay on daylight saving time when the
Speaker 2: rest of the world is on standard? Sir, I introduce
Speaker 2: you to the metric system.
Speaker 1: The rest of the.
Speaker 2: World uses it. The United States of America has.
Speaker 1: Said, no, no, no, too simple.
Speaker 2: So when everybody else gets the United States of America,
Speaker 2: they see signs that say miles per hour, and we
Speaker 2: measure things in things and inches and all sorts of
Speaker 2: other stuff, and they go, what what is this? So
Speaker 2: this is par for the course for the United States
Speaker 2: of America to go a different direction than everybody else
Speaker 2: time wise, and over the time the world observes some
Speaker 2: sort of daylight savings. Uh, he says, the rest of
Speaker 2: the world is on standard time. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's true or not. I don't know enough about that.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look at up. Okay, I guess the same
Speaker 2: reason we don't use the metric system, he said, Oh,
Speaker 2: you mentioned too. By staying on daylight saving time, the
Speaker 2: Eastern time zone will permanently match the Atlantic time zone, creating.
Speaker 1: One giant time zone instead of two.
Speaker 2: He says, enough of this, and finally, this person emails
Speaker 2: tips to the news Junkie dot com. Hello, Sean, I'm
Speaker 2: a listener to your podcast and a former police officer.
Speaker 2: I'm writing to share a personal experience that supports your
Speaker 2: point about how the media can misrepresent the actual facts
Speaker 2: of a story and the linked Orlando Sentinel article A
Speaker 2: doctor I arrested was found under the influence of alcohol
Speaker 2: with two hundred and fifty illegal pills. As a former
Speaker 2: licensed pharmacy technician, I knew the pills she possessed were
Speaker 2: completely legal, or if were completely illegal. However, the article
Speaker 2: says the felony charges were dropped to a poor investigation
Speaker 2: on my part. In reality, my investigation was solid. The
Speaker 2: charges were dropped by the state's attorney's office with my agreement,
Speaker 2: so that the states of Virginia, Florida and another state
Speaker 2: could pursue a larger case against this person for Medicare fraud.
Speaker 2: The media mischaracterized the situation, making me look like an
Speaker 2: incompetent police officer when the decision was actually a strategic
Speaker 2: legal move. I thought this was relevant as an example
Speaker 2: of the spin you discussed.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you for the email. Appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, all I'm saying is you won't realize
Speaker 2: how incompetent most of your media outlets are, especially like
Speaker 2: your local media outlets and your local newspaper, and stuff
Speaker 2: that you largely ignore.
Speaker 1: At this point in the timeline.
Speaker 2: But you won't realize just how bad they are until
Speaker 2: there's a story about you or something that you have
Speaker 2: a level of expertise in. So like, if they write
Speaker 2: about the radio industry, trust me, I read it like
Speaker 2: a fifth grader wrote the thing. I'm like, they have
Speaker 2: no idea what they're talking about. They don't understand this
Speaker 2: at all. If they write about something that you know
Speaker 2: about that you're an expert on, you go, you'll start
Speaker 2: shaking your head because these people don't know what they're doing,
Speaker 2: and that's what ends up being the problem.
Speaker 1: All right, So.
Speaker 2: We're gonna swap out the thumb now, I think we
Speaker 2: go for the cyclo. I think we go with Sea Lane.
Speaker 2: Sea Lane has cyclo and question Mark. Yeah, we'll go
Speaker 2: with that. Maybe they'll think we're dying over here. You
Speaker 2: can watch the show on YouTube YouTube dot com slash
Speaker 2: the News Junkier tw which TV Slash the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: When we come back, another one of these low flyovers
Speaker 2: happen and it's getting a bunch of attention and people
Speaker 2: are saying, like, we should.
Speaker 1: Investigate YadA, YadA YadA.
Speaker 2: This does seem kind of crazy to me, but legitimately,
Speaker 2: and I think it will to you. I'll tell you
Speaker 2: what actually happened here this time, I believe with the
Speaker 2: Blue Angels, and then I'll tell you what the response
Speaker 2: to it has been. It's pretty crazy if you haven't
Speaker 2: heard any of this, and it's coming up next on
Speaker 2: the news Junkie.
Speaker 1: I have to start this off with I need your help.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's the only way I could do this.
Speaker 2: I need your help because I know it's beautiful doing
Speaker 2: this show. When there's things that I'm not necessarily that
Speaker 2: well versed on that I don't have a good knowledge
Speaker 2: base on. I can say, like, hey, who else knows
Speaker 2: about this? And you can chime in and you can
Speaker 2: help out. Now, in the world of going to air
Speaker 2: shows and watching like, let's say, the Blue Angels do
Speaker 2: their thing, I've never really done this. I'm not really
Speaker 2: deep into that world at all save for the stuff
Speaker 2: that makes it into the headlines. So for somebody who is,
Speaker 2: I could really use your help right now, follow me
Speaker 2: on this journey, because I do think there's something kind
Speaker 2: of concerning happening here. But maybe I'm just ignorant to this,
Speaker 2: and if so, I want to be brought into the
Speaker 2: correct space here and into the world of reason. So
Speaker 2: there has been a bunch of these stories about the
Speaker 2: US military or the you know, the choppers, or the
Speaker 2: different flyovers that have happened in the last several months,
Speaker 2: and they fly over the beaches and stuff, and they
Speaker 2: get really, really really low, And I know that that's
Speaker 2: kind of something that they do, but I feel like
Speaker 2: they're getting even.
Speaker 1: Lower right now, and.
Speaker 2: Deal maybe maybe, and again I could be one hundred
Speaker 2: percent wrong. Like Dosfe says, they are cool. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: just cool. Maybe this is a normal thing. Maybe this
Speaker 2: is not anything that anybody out there in the real
Speaker 2: world is worried about. But they are literally when they're
Speaker 2: doing some of these flyers getting lower and lower and lower.
Speaker 2: And one of the examples was the US Navy's Blue Angels,
Speaker 2: their flight demonstration squadron, immensely talented pilots.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they were doing a.
Speaker 2: Flyover over Pensacola Beach, Florida on Wednesday morning, and they
Speaker 2: said during an aerial maneuver, an aircraft flew lower than
Speaker 2: standard profiles, resulting in a disturbance on the beach that
Speaker 2: affected civilian chairs and umbrellas.
Speaker 1: Right, standard profiles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like there's those certain level like a you know,
Speaker 2: there's a certain altitude that they're not supposed to go below.
Speaker 2: And here's the actual clip. For those of you are
Speaker 2: watching on YouTube, I'll describe it. For everybody else, it
Speaker 2: is suffice to say an incredibly low fly.
Speaker 1: Right right right there.
Speaker 2: The blowback is astonishing after this jet goes over And
Speaker 2: I am not kidding.
Speaker 1: Maybe a.
Speaker 4: See I would be worried about it. Yeah, getting fan
Speaker 4: blasted in my eye.
Speaker 2: The plane flows fly so close over the top of
Speaker 2: these folks. Somebody got a screenshot of the actual moment
Speaker 2: that the Blue Angels did this. Now the Blue Angels
Speaker 2: have said they're investigating the pilot who did this to me.
Speaker 2: I do not want to exaggerate. I feel like the
Speaker 2: Blue Angels plane in this photograph may be as low
Speaker 2: as like one hundred feet over the ground, maybe lower
Speaker 2: than that. Like I think it's really just unbelievably low.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say somebody could have touched it,
Speaker 2: but it's hard to tell in a photograph if you're
Speaker 2: being deceived by the distance that something is away from you.
Speaker 2: But I think saying one hundred feet would be I
Speaker 2: may even be exaggerating how high the plane is. It's
Speaker 2: that low towards the ground. So when I saw this,
Speaker 2: I go, Okay, that seems bad. They probably shouldn't be
Speaker 2: doing this. I get it, this is what people come
Speaker 2: to the beach for. But is there a level where
Speaker 2: this becomes actually dangerous? Because then Pete Hegseth came online
Speaker 2: and started talking about he says the flyovers will continue
Speaker 2: until morale improves. And he's talking about these these flyovers
Speaker 2: where people have buzzed all of these folks.
Speaker 1: Until morale improved.
Speaker 2: Until morale every kind of threat is that you're going
Speaker 2: to celebrate the fourth of July on the fifth of July,
Speaker 2: the sixth, We'll keep going, We'll keep going. Hey, listen here, mister,
Speaker 2: We're gonna keep doing these flyovers. So you change your attitude, Okay.
Speaker 2: Tdgs as on TNJ Chad he was under one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty feet. I mean like it was really low,
Speaker 2: Like it was incredibly low. Some people are saying fifty feet,
Speaker 2: thirty forty feet. The bottom line is I'm being conservative
Speaker 2: and saying, let's say this thing was one hundred feet
Speaker 2: over the beach. There's got to be a place where
Speaker 2: this does become a little bit dangerous.
Speaker 4: Dangerous, I mean that we were already kind of tiptoeing
Speaker 4: into that territory. Seeing that the flyover caused stuff on
Speaker 4: the ground to move, like people's tents. You start like
Speaker 4: whipping up everybody's tents and chairs. It's gonna start hitting
Speaker 4: people and hurting people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't want to and you're gonna have
Speaker 2: to deal with it until you were morale improves. I've
Speaker 2: not tried to Karen complain because look, I love this stuff.
Speaker 1: I love the blue Angels. I think it's super cool.
Speaker 2: But I have to say, like, is there some truth
Speaker 2: to maybe they're going a little bit hard on the
Speaker 2: hot dog and in showboating here is is this indeed
Speaker 2: a little bit too low? I mean, these people got buzzed,
Speaker 2: they're celebrating. They were they were celebrating until the wind
Speaker 2: kick back on them. So some of it has them
Speaker 2: going over the water, which okay, that I can make
Speaker 2: sense of. That, that's that's cool. Usually at an air
Speaker 2: show that's where they would stay. But when they're going
Speaker 2: over the beach and they're that low, it seems a
Speaker 2: little bit like maybe maybe we shouldn't be doing this,
Speaker 2: maybe we should kick it up.
Speaker 1: And so that's why I wanted to throw this out
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 2: If you folks are more familiar, maybe you've been to
Speaker 2: some of these air shows.
Speaker 1: Is this more normal?
Speaker 2: Is this just people complaining because anything that gets attached
Speaker 2: to like political stuff, now everybody complains about it. What
Speaker 2: is what is the actual situation that we're looking at here? Yeah,
Speaker 2: ABC News, If you look at ABC News, Blue Angels
Speaker 2: has another picture that was similar to the one you
Speaker 2: were showing just a second ago, where it's a still
Speaker 2: shot and the plane is kind of it's tilted to
Speaker 2: the side.
Speaker 3: This morning's stunning.
Speaker 2: This one here where it's like this the underside. Uh,
Speaker 2: that's not the one I was thinking of.
Speaker 1: That one. I mean just the same.
Speaker 2: I mean so low, like it's I know you guys
Speaker 2: can't see this, but it is incredibly low the plane is.
Speaker 2: If you okay, I will say this with confidence, with confidence,
Speaker 2: and I'm not trying to Uncle Rico this situation. If
Speaker 2: I was on the beach plane and I had a
Speaker 2: football and I had a laser fast throw, I feel
Speaker 2: like I could hit the Blue Angels plane with a football. Again,
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to concern trol here. I just I
Speaker 2: feel like it was that low and that maybe that
Speaker 2: that is too low for them to be flying these things.
Speaker 2: Like keep flying them, they're super cool, but maybe a
Speaker 2: little bit further away from the beach and maybe not
Speaker 2: buzzing over all the time, and maybe not thinking that
Speaker 2: this is totally cool every time we do this.
Speaker 1: I'd be curious if you did throw a football at
Speaker 1: a plane. You want to say it now? Is that
Speaker 1: on you? Or is that on the person flying the plane.
Speaker 2: I think it would be on the person flying the plane.
Speaker 2: They shouldn't be low enough so I could throw a
Speaker 2: football at them.
Speaker 1: That's now.
Speaker 4: I mean, like I het, people shoot lasers and planes
Speaker 4: all the time, and it's.
Speaker 1: A it's a huge.
Speaker 4: It's a huge presence of danger when they hit that
Speaker 4: when it hits that like window of the cockpit, and
Speaker 4: and it's really bad and people get arrested for it
Speaker 4: all the time. That's very bad. Shouldn't do it. That's
Speaker 4: on the people shooting the lasers.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't you be close enough that I throw a football
Speaker 1: at you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I don't want the headline radio hosts throws football
Speaker 2: DJ Yeah, Blue Angels pilot distracted crashes into beach full
Speaker 2: of patriotic onlookers like I don't want I don't want
Speaker 2: to be that person point blank. Mad On Twitch says
Speaker 2: it's super illegal to throw stuff at aircraft, even drones.
Speaker 1: Well, I know, I know that.
Speaker 2: I mean I think that, I think that this thing
Speaker 2: was literally that low, and that to me, I could
Speaker 2: see some room for concern there. I could be some
Speaker 2: I could see some room for people to go, hey,
Speaker 2: let's let's dial it back a little bit. Let's showcase
Speaker 2: our planes, let's showcase our talents. But then one little mistake,
Speaker 2: if you're doing something like this that's so cool in
Speaker 2: the moment, could lead to something really bad.
Speaker 1: And that's another thing I was just thinking of.
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, I know, you know, you don't like
Speaker 4: to talk about this, but they do make mistakes sometimes.
Speaker 4: Every once in a while, we have like a video,
Speaker 4: a bunch of videos come in because some air show
Speaker 4: had a tragedy happen and everybody got to see some
Speaker 4: explosion or big fire because two of the planes hit
Speaker 4: each other. Those are mistakes. Those are mistakes that happen.
Speaker 4: And if that mistake were during this flyover where there
Speaker 4: were one hundred and fifty feet one hundred feet above
Speaker 4: the people on the each uh huh, and they zigged
Speaker 4: when they should have zagged. That's a bad zig.
Speaker 2: That's it though. I mean, look here, here's an example.
Speaker 2: CNN has this headline from a month or two ago.
Speaker 2: The US Navy lost one hundred and thirty six million
Speaker 2: dollars worth of jets in an air show crash.
Speaker 1: Why risk it? Now?
Speaker 2: This is trying CNN's like trying to get them to
Speaker 2: get rid of the the air shows and bringing the
Speaker 2: cool planes out there and stuff. I said, why risk it?
Speaker 2: Don't go out here at all. I'm saying, isn't there
Speaker 2: a way we could do this? But maybe not do
Speaker 2: that really really really close buzz over top of the
Speaker 2: people at the beach, or maybe if you guys love this,
Speaker 2: like if everybody's going into it and they're like, that's what.
Speaker 4: We want on I'm telling you right now, the Pete
Speaker 4: Hegseth saying when morale improves, the morale of the people
Speaker 4: on that beach was probably high as hell.
Speaker 1: I mean just.
Speaker 4: Really, I mean, well, that's that is exciting to see.
Speaker 2: You know. It's like the people at day morning quarterbacking
Speaker 2: this they only had the time of their lives. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we know that one airport where the planes land so low, Yes,
Speaker 2: and the people line up by the fence, and when
Speaker 2: the planes land that there are engines like blow the
Speaker 2: people back. I don't know if going to an air
Speaker 2: show is like being there. So you expect that these
Speaker 2: sorts of things are going to happen, and this is
Speaker 2: just part of it. So that's why I want to
Speaker 2: hear from you. If you folks have been to a
Speaker 2: bunch of these, how would you feel about this? Let
Speaker 2: us know what you think. Send a dispatch over at
Speaker 2: the Newsjunki dot com or email the show which is
Speaker 2: tips tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. Just so you
Speaker 2: know where we're coming from. I'll put the actual video
Speaker 2: of the flyover. I'll put that up on see it now.
Speaker 2: So if you are familiar with going to these events,
Speaker 2: if you could tell me if this is crazy, if
Speaker 2: this is different than you normally see. So that'll get
Speaker 2: that conversation going. Have we gone too far with the flyovers?
Speaker 2: Or am I just being a little whiny baby. One
Speaker 2: of the people at the beach said, I've been coming
Speaker 2: for ten years. I've never seen a pass like that
Speaker 2: in my life. Literally thought we were going to be
Speaker 2: taken out by the Blue Angels.
Speaker 1: But it was amazing. But it was amazing.
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, Yeah. So that's what I don't wanna. I
Speaker 2: don't want to sort of yum I don't know somewhere.
Speaker 2: I don't want to yuck the yum of the people
Speaker 2: who really are into that. So go take a look
Speaker 2: and let me know if I'm wrong about this. Send
Speaker 2: a dispatcher an email over at the Newsjunkie dot com
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: Quick break. When we come back, we'll get into that.
Speaker 2: We'll get into more of the smoke blanketing the East
Speaker 2: Coast and what's it going to look like for some
Speaker 2: of the big games coming up later on this week.
Speaker 2: We've got somebody chasing down a Heckler and that's just
Speaker 2: the beginning of things. And that is coming up next
Speaker 2: on the New Use Junkie.
Speaker 1: A guy got a d w I.
Speaker 2: Some states it's called the du there's different ways to say,
Speaker 2: but it's drinking and driving.
Speaker 1: We all know that a guy Sea Lane in.
Speaker 2: Texas and this guy, this guy in Texas, Sea Lane
Speaker 2: got a d w I and he was sentenced. And
Speaker 2: I know people that have gotten DUI s or been
Speaker 2: you know, busted drinking and driving in the first time,
Speaker 2: and they give you a little bit of a slap
Speaker 2: on the wrist and you pay some fines and some
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's an issue. The second time, they
Speaker 2: get a little more serious. This guy just got sentenced
Speaker 2: for a d w I and he got life in prison.
Speaker 2: This guy is going to be spending the rest of
Speaker 2: his life in prison.
Speaker 1: His twenty second d w I all right, that that matters.
Speaker 2: Right to me, that matters, But to some people, I
Speaker 2: guess it doesn't. Because I saw a lot of people
Speaker 2: freaking out and they go drinking and driving, and this
Speaker 2: man is going to spend the rest of his life
Speaker 2: behind bars.
Speaker 1: And I say, no recidivism.
Speaker 2: Continually he's committing the same crime over and over and
Speaker 2: over and over again. They're this guy is going to
Speaker 2: spend the rest of his.
Speaker 1: Life behind bar. There's no chance.
Speaker 4: I could see the number now, so I know, like,
Speaker 4: there's no chance this dude has a license. He's just
Speaker 4: he's driving intoxicated and illegally, Like even if he was sober,
Speaker 4: he shouldn't be behind the wheel.
Speaker 2: What do we think, folks, Do we think this is
Speaker 2: too much, because here's the story. Man convicted of his
Speaker 2: twelfth DWI, that's drinking and driving, busted twelve times.
Speaker 1: He says he was simple, he was free.
Speaker 2: He says he was simply unlucky before being sentenced, and
Speaker 2: when the sentence came down, they said, this guy for
Speaker 2: drinking and driving. As far as I know, he didn't
Speaker 2: hit anybody with his vehicle. Nobody was injured. There is
Speaker 2: some sort of like vehicular manslaughter twist of this. He
Speaker 2: got a DUI and he's being sentenced to life in prison,
Speaker 2: but the twist is that it's his twelfth dui.
Speaker 1: Is that fair?
Speaker 2: Is it like after some point time you just go
Speaker 2: do it again and you're getting life in prison. And
Speaker 2: then they do it and you go here, you go,
Speaker 2: see you later, pal, You're a danger.
Speaker 1: That's what prisons are for.
Speaker 2: There are some people who are a danger to the
Speaker 2: rest of us, so we can live our nice little
Speaker 2: lives while they rot away.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that legally life in prison is an option
Speaker 4: for a DWI. And now I understand that they are
Speaker 4: trying to make this really harsh because it seems it
Speaker 4: seems that the narrative is like this man does not
Speaker 4: care what happens to him legally, he will continue to
Speaker 4: drive a car. I know he doesn't have a license.
Speaker 4: He will continue to drive a car anyway without a license,
Speaker 4: and he will continue to get drunk before he drives
Speaker 4: that car. And if he's had twelve dwi's, he has
Speaker 4: probably had multiple occasions where he hasn't been caught drunk driving.
Speaker 2: Yes, there are people though saying, like on YouTube saying
Speaker 2: that life in prison for a nonviolent crime is nuts.
Speaker 1: Is non kind of nuts.
Speaker 4: Though, because and that that's what I'm saying, Like, I'm
Speaker 4: surprised that, you know, when you so kind of look
Speaker 4: through the law books and go all right, here is
Speaker 4: you know, the news does this. They say, Hey, this
Speaker 4: person committed this crime. He's facing this many years in
Speaker 4: prison based on his charges. Right, they look up what
Speaker 4: the penalty is, what the maximum penalty is for all
Speaker 4: the chargers, and they add him up and they say,
Speaker 4: this person could face this time in jail or prison
Speaker 4: for what they've done. I'm surprised that there's a law
Speaker 4: somewhere that says, hey, for a DWI enough times, life
Speaker 4: in prison it's crazy.
Speaker 2: I'll give you the other details of his story in
Speaker 2: just second here, But where does this stop? Not that
Speaker 2: I disagree with it, because legitimately, legitimately I think that
Speaker 2: we need to increase punishments over time for people.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So like if you steal from the target one time
Speaker 2: and they let you go fine, the second time, they
Speaker 2: throw you in jail for a little while, the third
Speaker 2: time maybe a little longer. But if you steal from
Speaker 2: the tar get twelve times and they give you life
Speaker 2: in prison, I think people would go, whoa hold on?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: So at some point the crime becomes enough that if
Speaker 2: you've done it twelve times, then people will be okay
Speaker 2: with spending the rest of your life in prison. I
Speaker 2: do not think people think if you get busted shoplifting
Speaker 2: twelve times.
Speaker 1: You should get life in prison.
Speaker 7: I know people would, But people will do it with
Speaker 7: this with DWI, They'll go, d WI bro got arrested
Speaker 7: twelve times, of course you're going to get life in
Speaker 7: prison eventually.
Speaker 2: That's what he got. Here's what happened to this guy.
Speaker 2: A Texas man will spend the rest of his life
Speaker 2: behind bars after being convicted of driving well intoxicated for
Speaker 2: the twelfth time. According to law enforcement Raymundo Ayala seventy four,
Speaker 2: was convicted by a jury in Randall County on one
Speaker 2: count of driving well intoxicated d WI, being a third
Speaker 2: or more offense. According to a press release, The jury
Speaker 2: later sentenced to defend it to life in prison. Driving
Speaker 2: well intoxicated continues to endanger our community sends a clear
Speaker 2: message those who repeatedly choose a drink and drive will
Speaker 2: be held accountable, said the district attorney. The underlying incident
Speaker 2: occurred on August ninth, twenty twenty five, when a state
Speaker 2: trooper observed the defendant committing multiple traffic violations. The trooper
Speaker 2: recognized signs of intoxication. He made them do the breathalyzer test,
Speaker 2: and the guy blew up point two one three, which
Speaker 2: is obviously very drunk.
Speaker 1: Point oh is the limit in a lot of states.
Speaker 2: He was well over two and a half times the
Speaker 2: legal limit in the state of Texas. They heard about
Speaker 2: at least two prior DWI convictions, which would make his
Speaker 2: offense a felony typical punished by two to ten years
Speaker 2: in state prison, but this time was different.
Speaker 4: When you get to twelve DUIs the likelihood that one
Speaker 4: cop has arrested you twice is so high.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna be you again. Oh my god, you
Speaker 2: know here he goes. During the guilt phase of the trial,
Speaker 2: the jury quickly returned a guilty verdict, the District Attorney's
Speaker 2: office said. Then jurors were asked to listen in and
Speaker 2: weigh in on the punishment phase. This time around, the
Speaker 2: state's presentation focused on obtaining a sentencing enhancement by showing
Speaker 2: he had eleven prior DWY convictions, had been sentenced to
Speaker 2: prison on six such offenses, but continued to do this,
Speaker 2: so he was an habitual offender. Then they gave them
Speaker 2: the option the jury to sentence demand for this twelfth
Speaker 2: DWI anywhere from twenty five years to life in prison.
Speaker 2: During the punishment phase, they said why did you get
Speaker 2: so many dwys. And the man stepped up and he said,
Speaker 2: I was unlucky. That's why this happened to me. So
Speaker 2: they said, you think you're unlucky, bro, No you're not. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is not lucky or unlucky. This is you making
Speaker 2: a choice to drink and drive and you made that
Speaker 2: choice so many times that you were arrested twelve times
Speaker 2: for DWI. And the jury came back and said life
Speaker 2: in prison for this for a nonviolent crime, which is interesting.
Speaker 2: Maybe people are turning the corner a little bit and
Speaker 2: they're tired of seeing criminals slapped on the wrist, and
Speaker 2: they're tired of seeing people commit the same offense over
Speaker 2: and over and over. I'm tired of seeing a tiny
Speaker 2: amount of people dragged down the quality of life for
Speaker 2: the rest of us. Like I said, that's what prisons
Speaker 2: are for. They're to keep us safe from the other people,
Speaker 2: the antisocial goons who get arrested for crimes over and
Speaker 2: over and over again, the people with no impulse control
Speaker 2: that get roped in and talk about no impulse control.
Speaker 2: You got your twelfth DWI. But is it is it
Speaker 2: fair or is this not fair? Because it's not a
Speaker 2: violent crime? Life in prison? Let us know what you
Speaker 2: think send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 4: I think, do you think that you would look like
Speaker 4: such a bitch in prison if they were like, hey,
Speaker 4: what are you in for? And he's like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: twelve duus, like you serious? I murdered I murdered somebody,
Speaker 4: I killed somebody, I strangled them to death, and you
Speaker 4: drove drunk twelve times.
Speaker 1: I think about it.
Speaker 2: Somebody could have committed a horrific mass attack on this country.
Speaker 2: Does he get they would get the same punishment? Does
Speaker 2: he get put in the same place as all of
Speaker 2: the other violent lifers, Like that's a that's a decent
Speaker 2: thing to think about too, Like this guy who has
Speaker 2: not Were you just gonna say that's a good question
Speaker 2: to your own question, yes.
Speaker 1: Masbratory of me.
Speaker 2: Yes, I asked a question ago. That's a really good question.
Speaker 2: But also, do you do you think this is fair?
Speaker 4: Just I think the twenty five years would have been fair.
Speaker 4: But I mean it just seems like he what he said,
Speaker 4: he'd done six prison sentences before.
Speaker 1: It seems like he would learn, right, he was not
Speaker 1: gonna learn.
Speaker 4: He's gonna do the twenty five years and get out
Speaker 4: and have a couple of drinks and make it a
Speaker 4: Baker's Dozen't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just think why did they Why twelve?
Speaker 2: Why why not ten or nine? And then when you
Speaker 2: when you do this, you would stop drinking and driving
Speaker 2: probably if you had, If you told everybody three strikes
Speaker 2: you're out on dwi's, you're going to go to jail
Speaker 2: for the rest of your life. I think that would
Speaker 2: probably change the way people behaved, save for some folks
Speaker 2: who we probably want behind bars to begin with. But
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you. Tips tips at the
Speaker 2: neewsyunky dot com. If you want to be anonymous, let
Speaker 2: us know. I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: I used to DJ.
Speaker 2: I've told a lot of stories about this. I was
Speaker 2: a DJ for a while. I worked with a blind man,
Speaker 2: very very nice guy, very talented guy, but he was
Speaker 2: blind and he couldn't do the DJ side of things.
Speaker 2: So I did the DJ side of things, and then
Speaker 2: I sort of pointed him in the right direction and
Speaker 2: he gave him the microphone and he did the microphone stuff.
Speaker 2: Because strangely, at that time, they were like, sean, you're
Speaker 2: not qualified to talk into a microphone. Push the buttons.
Speaker 2: Push the button. Still hear when some people say that,
Speaker 2: So look at me, now, I have a microphone. So
Speaker 2: I would work with this guy and we would, you know,
Speaker 2: we would go out to all these different venues and
Speaker 2: we would DJ and stuff. And there was a lot
Speaker 2: of other people who worked for these DJ companies in
Speaker 2: the area. And I learned of another D in the
Speaker 2: area working for the blind DJ, and I was told
Speaker 2: about this guy and The story that I got was
Speaker 2: that this guy's a drinker, a real bad drinker, and
Speaker 2: he has so many DUIs that he has lost his
Speaker 2: license forever. And he's a DJ, so he has to
Speaker 2: get somebody, another adult, to drive him to his gigs
Speaker 2: and drop him off and with his trailer and DJ equipment,
Speaker 2: and then they have to pick him up afterwards. And
Speaker 2: he moved to the state of Texas, strangely enough so
Speaker 2: that he could get a driver's license, because in Florida,
Speaker 2: where he was at the time, you could only get
Speaker 2: so many duys and you could never get a driver's
Speaker 2: license again. But he was allowed to get a driver's
Speaker 2: license in Texas, so he went there.
Speaker 1: And now I hear.
Speaker 2: Texas is taking somebody like this and going, hey, twelve strikes,
Speaker 2: you're out. Here is a lot of emails coming in

Speaker 2: When I was sixteen, I was the front passenger of
Speaker 2: a car that was struck head on by a drunk
Speaker 2: driver at seventy.
Speaker 1: Miles per hour. Damn.
Speaker 2: I was unconscious for days, and at fifty six years old,
Speaker 2: injuries and memories from that accident still affect me daily.
Speaker 2: The driver that hit us ran into a local bar
Speaker 2: and immediately started drowning downing drinks, so they couldn't prove
Speaker 2: he was drunk when he hit heart about that one before,
Speaker 2: despite his own passenger testimony that he was wasted, and
Speaker 2: he himself answered Budweiser when asked what medication he was on.
Speaker 2: It was obviously not his first time, and he got
Speaker 2: away with it. Nothing was done to him. More people
Speaker 2: should be locked up for extended periods of times for this,
Speaker 2: and maybe it will stop. Life is fine with me.

Speaker 2: We might even have it over here for God's sake,
Speaker 2: So I'll give you the latest and everything you need
Speaker 2: to know to protect yourself that is coming up next.
Speaker 1: In the News Junkie, we were.
Speaker 2: Talking about how low those blue Angels were flying in
Speaker 2: some of these videos, and there was a lot of
Speaker 2: people who had things to say about this, and somebody says,
Speaker 2: Ed says the tips of the Newsjunkie dot com. I
Speaker 2: don't know who goes to air shows and I don't want.
Speaker 2: I don't know who goes air shows and doesn't want
Speaker 2: the low flyovers. I'm telling you right now, I've been
Speaker 2: to air shows over the beach and it was an
Speaker 2: amazing experience to feel the power of those jets. If
Speaker 2: people are complaining, they need to remember they do that
Speaker 2: for the people to have the experience of a lifetime.
Speaker 1: Says this particular person.
Speaker 4: You look like you just got a low flyover right now.
Speaker 4: The jets were pushing down on.
Speaker 1: You and everything.
Speaker 2: The doors opening around here is whenever the camera shakes,
Speaker 2: it just means that one of the doors are closely
Speaker 2: around here has shut somewhere. But somebody says, I thought
Speaker 2: this was AI until your story today, and they send
Speaker 2: over a link to another flyover.
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's it. That's the one we talked about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of these could be a I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's like a compilation of flyover videos. I just had
Speaker 2: no idea they would get as low as they do
Speaker 2: in some of these videos, including the one that has
Speaker 2: an investigation going on right now related to it, that
Speaker 2: was on a beach in Florida, Pensacola.
Speaker 1: I think it was.
Speaker 2: I think it was a petacle of beach that they
Speaker 2: said that this had happened at. So there's some feedback
Speaker 2: on that. There's some more coming in as well that
Speaker 2: we'll get to. But it does, it does if you're
Speaker 2: not there for the air show. It does have some
Speaker 2: kind of annoying side effects to it, mostly the noise. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I'll never forget when I forget who was the
Speaker 2: client that I was meeting with. I had like a
Speaker 2: zoom meeting and they were down south, and forget that
Speaker 2: part of it. Huh.
Speaker 1: I'll never forget the story. But he doesn't know who
Speaker 1: he was with. I think I know who it was.
Speaker 1: But they're not a client anymore, so okay, good, they
Speaker 1: can crap all over now. They're fine.
Speaker 4: But I met with their their agency and it was
Speaker 4: a Zoom meeting and they were like, sorry, man, it's
Speaker 4: really loud here because the air show is practicing, like
Speaker 4: not even doing the air show, they're just doing the
Speaker 4: rehearsals for it. And this guy's trying to tell me
Speaker 4: about their business, like you know, home improvement or something
Speaker 4: like that, and all here.
Speaker 2: People love them, though, man, I feel like it's a
Speaker 2: big crossover crowd with NASCAR or something. Somebody says those
Speaker 2: air shows are a waste of tax money and just
Speaker 2: adds to noise and air pollution. Total waste is alien
Speaker 2: on TNJ Chad. I think people do love them. There's
Speaker 2: a category of people who really really enjoy that kind
Speaker 2: of event. I've not been to one, so I was
Speaker 2: simply bringing it up because I was wondering some of
Speaker 2: these flyovers that are now being investigated. They do seem crazy,
Speaker 2: dangerously low to me. But if that's sort of the
Speaker 2: draw to the whole thing, then that would be like
Speaker 2: watching a UFC fight where there was a little bit
Speaker 2: too much blood and going these.
Speaker 1: Guys are hurting each other.
Speaker 2: So I don't know what the case is, but that's
Speaker 2: what some of the feedback is so far.
Speaker 1: Now, somebody else says medium take.
Speaker 2: But I think the cyclo stuff is completely overblown in hype.
Speaker 2: The cyclo sporiasis cyclospora cyclospora isrobably the easiest way to say,
Speaker 2: it is a legit thing, just so you know, it
Speaker 2: spreads around basically every year. But the outbreak from this year,
Speaker 2: I think has already surpassed what the total was for
Speaker 2: last year. So the parasitic stomach illness is not new.
Speaker 2: It's not a special thing. Cyclospora is something that is,
Speaker 2: you know, it happens each year, an outbreak of this
Speaker 2: to a certain extent, and it happens through produce that
Speaker 2: you get from food that you're eating from a restaurant,
Speaker 2: from a grocery store, could be any any place. A
Speaker 2: lot of times it's lettuce or something like that. That's
Speaker 2: the culprit, and you have to be careful or wash
Speaker 2: your veggies and your produce really really carefully.
Speaker 1: But it is real. It's definitely real.
Speaker 2: And I saw there's now over sixty cases in Florida.
Speaker 2: Let me see if I could bring up they had
Speaker 2: the whole map that was showing just how bad this
Speaker 2: was getting. Because the outbreak has spread quite a bit
Speaker 2: from Michigan, where it was at first, and the here's
Speaker 2: the story cyclospora outbreak. In this case, it says hits
Speaker 2: Florida with more than one hundred cases, and the county
Speaker 2: by county breakdown shows it's basically in all the counties.
Speaker 1: My theory on cyclospora is sure the.
Speaker 2: Media is very Orange. No, why what do you mean
Speaker 2: Orange County? Yes, it does.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 2: My theory on this is not that it doesn't exist.
Speaker 2: I do think it exists. It's not that the media
Speaker 2: isn't hyping it, because I'm sure the media will hype it.
Speaker 1: There's it's kind of a.
Speaker 2: Load of boring news cycle right now, so they're looking
Speaker 2: for any story they can to ramp things up. And
Speaker 2: I also think the numbers are incredibly unreported, or the
Speaker 2: reporting of the numbers is is.
Speaker 1: Deflated much more than it should be.
Speaker 2: And my theory on that is because this is kind
Speaker 2: of an embarrassing thing to have Sea Lane things.
Speaker 1: He might have it right now. I said, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't feel that.
Speaker 2: Great this morning, and even saying that out loud, like oh,
Speaker 2: we might have cyclospora. Even saying it out loud is
Speaker 2: like people are gonna be like, you have explosive diarrhea.
Speaker 4: I'm also worried that my body's just gonna manifest it
Speaker 4: like this is something completely unrelated and just indicative of
Speaker 4: my normal lifestyle, that I would get this every once
Speaker 4: in a while, But now that it's happening during this
Speaker 4: cyclospora scare that I'm going to get so worried about
Speaker 4: it that this is just going to churn down there
Speaker 4: and I might not even have cyclospora at all, but
Speaker 4: my body is just like.
Speaker 2: Make it so you're manifesting it, and in so many
Speaker 2: ways cyclospora I'm clicking this here on a kind of
Speaker 2: makes you fill in so many things.
Speaker 1: It's so annoying.
Speaker 2: So it's in basically every county in the state of Florida,
Speaker 2: it's in a lot of the Midwest. There's at least
Speaker 2: seven thousand confirm cases of this. But I again think
Speaker 2: it's worse since I think so many people don't necessarily
Speaker 2: want to go to the doctors or admit that they
Speaker 2: have this.
Speaker 1: Here's what Good Morning America was saying this Good Morning, Robin.
Speaker 9: Hospitals across the country are treating an inflap patients with
Speaker 9: that severe stomach blog the intestinal illness called cyclist biasis
Speaker 9: that causes fatigue, fever, and an explosive upset. Stomach is
Speaker 9: now on the rise top of the exploiser states, with
Speaker 9: the CDC reporting nearly seven thousand confirmed or probable cases.
Speaker 9: The epicenter is in Michigan, where doctors tell us they
Speaker 9: typically see less than fifty cases per year. Now it's
Speaker 9: up to six hundred per day. Health officials there say
Speaker 9: the outbreak could be tied to lettuce or salad greens,
Speaker 9: but nationwide, federal officials still have not identified a cause,
Speaker 9: and right now there are vacancies at the top of
Speaker 9: the FDA, CDC, and Surgeon General's office.
Speaker 2: They're trying to hype it up that it's like, this
Speaker 2: is why it's spreading so quickly. It's spreading so quickly
Speaker 2: because people don't wash their produce a lot.
Speaker 1: That's one problem.
Speaker 2: And if you go to restaurants and stuff, if a
Speaker 2: restaurant gets slammed, if they get super busy, they're less
Speaker 2: likely to do a thorough rinsing of the produce in
Speaker 2: many cases, And every time, like Courty and I have
Speaker 2: gotten an issue with eating at a restaurant, it was
Speaker 2: always a busy restaurant. It was always a busy restaurant
Speaker 2: and you eat something with lettuce in it, you go.
Speaker 2: They were too busy and they didn't clean things up,
Speaker 2: and now here people got the stomach bug, in this
Speaker 2: case cyclospora. But keep up, keep yourself aware of this,
Speaker 2: make sure you're washing your vegetables and all that good stuff.
Speaker 2: Let us know if it's hit you and you want
Speaker 2: to admit it. Tips at the news Junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: T I p. S at the news Junkie dot com
Speaker 1: real quick before before you close that tab. Yeah, screen.
Speaker 2: Going on?
Speaker 1: Uh right here? You mean like a herb, like a herpie.
Speaker 4: I couldn't tell if it was like glare off of
Speaker 4: the lights or something.
Speaker 2: It was the very beginning. I mean maybe she has cyclospora. No,
Speaker 2: I think it's just a little blurry. Yeah. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: just like a defect in these these low, bad bad place.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So all right, here there's the story that I was
Speaker 2: leading in with, and then I have a rant for
Speaker 2: the Ages about Calchi and some of these prediction markets.
Speaker 2: At a second, trust me, come along with me on
Speaker 2: this one. Your head is going to explode when you
Speaker 2: hear some of the things I'm about to say. But
Speaker 2: first I wanted to get this out there and see
Speaker 2: if anybody had any feedback on this. There was a
Speaker 2: story about this lady in Texas and she said, it's
Speaker 2: time to go on a vacation.
Speaker 1: Let's head over to California.
Speaker 2: So she goes to California and she's doing like a
Speaker 2: brewery tour, because sometimes people will do this, they'll go
Speaker 2: to these different places and drink and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 1: She says, her name's Destiny.
Speaker 2: And as she's sitting at this brewery in California, she goes, does.
Speaker 1: This happen here?
Speaker 2: I've never heard of this before, And there were officers
Speaker 2: who came in to the brewery.
Speaker 1: The cops came into the brewery.
Speaker 2: And the cops started going around the brewery and breathalyzing
Speaker 2: all the people who are I'm sorry what who were drinking?
Speaker 2: And I thought, I have never heard of this happening before.
Speaker 1: A minent a thest.
Speaker 4: People volunteering to be breathalyzed because that sounds like a
Speaker 4: little bit of Fourth Amendment violation, that's.
Speaker 1: What they said.
Speaker 2: They said, this is a routine thing that the police
Speaker 2: do where they go to these places and then they
Speaker 2: go hey, they offer up breathalyzers. So it's part of
Speaker 2: like some training for the officers. But who would do that.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do that to begin with. I don't want
Speaker 2: to be part of whatever weird thing you're working on
Speaker 2: to train other police officers to bust people at breweries.
Speaker 2: They walked in the cops dated this brewery and they
Speaker 2: started doing breathalyzer tests on the different people there. And
Speaker 2: I guess they said this was more common in California,
Speaker 2: but they do this in other states as sort of
Speaker 2: a training thing, and they test you and then tell
Speaker 2: you what your breath uh alcohol level is.
Speaker 4: But the training thing seems like something they should be
Speaker 4: doing like on their own you know, at their own facility,
Speaker 4: on their own time, scheduled with people that they've either
Speaker 4: asked to or compensated to be there or something. Would
Speaker 4: they just show up at a place? I mean, I
Speaker 4: guess if you're at a bar and then and they
Speaker 4: they weren't it just right?
Speaker 1: Like, hey, you want to.
Speaker 2: See how drunk you are, come over and try to
Speaker 2: try to baze it before I got one.
Speaker 1: We're not doing anything crazy here, nobody's getting arrested.
Speaker 2: I understand that they have to teach officers stuff like this,
Speaker 2: but it just seems weird to load into a brewery
Speaker 2: and go, hey, everybody, we're we're doing breathalyzer tests.
Speaker 4: Right now, you've been to a bar that has a
Speaker 4: novelty breathalyzer machine that you can pay to use before,
Speaker 4: right right, yeah, And then like they like they dispense
Speaker 4: a little straw that's that's like wrapped up and stuff,
Speaker 4: and you stick the straw and then you blow into
Speaker 4: it and it's supposed to I mean, I don't know
Speaker 4: how accurate those things are because they're just, you know,
Speaker 4: for entertainment purposes. I don't know if people are sitting
Speaker 4: there going like, oh point zero seven, all right, I'm
Speaker 4: good to see you guys later.
Speaker 2: My I don't know if I'd hang my hat on
Speaker 2: that in terms of no DUI, especially now that we
Speaker 2: know a dozen of those d uys will put you
Speaker 2: in jail for life and at least in the state
Speaker 2: of Texas.
Speaker 4: That also, I mean, I wonder My roommates and I
Speaker 4: had a breathalyzer that we bought one time, like on Amazon,
Speaker 4: We're like, we've got a It was a couple hundred
Speaker 4: dollars bathlizer, and it came with a bunch of little
Speaker 4: plastic tips that it's got like a nice one. Then yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: we were pretty drunk when we bought it. So that's
Speaker 4: how they make their money. Kind of makes sense, that's
Speaker 4: how it works. But in the you know, in the
Speaker 4: the terms or in the manual and stuff, it says like, hey,
Speaker 4: you have to wait fifteen to twenty minutes between your
Speaker 4: last drink and doing this breathalyzer. Because if you were
Speaker 4: just to like take a shot and then blow straight
Speaker 4: into the breathalyzer, whoa world record numbers right there? Like
Speaker 4: like the breathalyzer would be like that weatherman that said,
Speaker 4: like everyone in Madison is dead, you know the breath right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that would that would spike your numbers, and so you
Speaker 4: have to wait a while. So it would also be
Speaker 4: kind of weird to be the cops and go to
Speaker 4: these breweries and go, hey, you guys want to try
Speaker 4: out a breathalyzer. You just got to sit here for
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes, yeah, and sit down, relax.
Speaker 2: And we assuredly, and this is one of my problems
Speaker 2: with the testing that they were doing in California, we
Speaker 2: assuredly will not be across the street just waiting for
Speaker 2: you to leave now that we know which ones of
Speaker 2: you have had a little too much over the legal limit, right,
Speaker 2: there's there's no shot that they don't do that and
Speaker 2: then end up pulling people over and whatnot. So let
Speaker 2: us know what you think. Send a dispatch on that when.
Speaker 1: We come back. I have to vent.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go on a little bit of a
Speaker 2: rant here because the prediction markets have been exploding. People
Speaker 2: spend billions of dollars on them. It is a new
Speaker 2: way to bet, to gamble away a lot of money.
Speaker 2: And the stories of people either a cheating at these
Speaker 2: these prediction markets have been piling up. I just heard
Speaker 2: one of the most unbelievable stories about somebody cheating in
Speaker 2: one of these prediction markets and making a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of money. But it's something else that they've decided to
Speaker 2: allow betting on that really has me fuming.
Speaker 10: Here.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: It's coming up next on the news Junkie. I am
Speaker 2: somebody who believes in freedom. I think it's one of
Speaker 2: the most important parts about America. I look at the
Speaker 2: other countries and when I say that, I think America
Speaker 2: is superior. One of the things is because we still
Speaker 2: have the freedom to do a lot of things. They
Speaker 2: don't have these freedoms. They don't have freedom of speech,
Speaker 2: and in places like Canada or England, they don't have
Speaker 2: a lot of the freedoms that we take for granted.
Speaker 1: Every day in the United States of America.
Speaker 2: So freedom to me is really super important and it
Speaker 2: should be to everybody as well. The other thing, though,
Speaker 2: that is core to my belief system is fairness. I
Speaker 2: think things should be fair for everybody. I think that
Speaker 2: poor person growing up in a holler in South Carolina
Speaker 2: should have a fair enough shot at achieving success as
Speaker 2: anybody whose parents went to Harvard and had fancy jobs
Speaker 2: their whole lives, or somebody who's like the son of
Speaker 2: the President of the United States. I think fairness is
Speaker 2: an important thing, and I think we should strive for
Speaker 2: those two things to be as good as possible. That
Speaker 2: somehow brings me to gambling, then all explain, because we
Speaker 2: have these prediction markets out there, and I want people
Speaker 2: to have the freedom to go and bet on really
Speaker 2: weird things like bet on football games that makes some
Speaker 2: fun to watch, bet on UFC fights that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2: Your World Cup game that you don't really want to watch,
Speaker 2: to begin with, has made more exciting of you put
Speaker 2: a couple of dollars on it. I want you to
Speaker 2: do that, but I do want things to be fair.
Speaker 2: And people forever have complained that the sports betting isn't fair,
Speaker 2: but this other stuff was definitely not fair. Here's the
Speaker 2: example story I was talking about. There was somebody who
Speaker 2: was making big money on Calshie, one of the prediction
Speaker 2: markets where you can bet on stuff, and they were
Speaker 2: betting on President Trump's speeches. They were putting a bunch
Speaker 2: of money on these speeches that Trump was giving. And
Speaker 2: Calshie started to look into this person because they made
Speaker 2: more than one hundred thousand dollars off of these bets.
Speaker 1: That they have placed.
Speaker 2: And ABC News, which you just heard there kicking off
Speaker 2: in the background, ABC News has reported that White House
Speaker 2: teleprompter operator Gabriel Perez was the person who made more
Speaker 2: than one hundred thousand dollar betting on Trump's speeches. So
Speaker 2: the guy who was betting on these speeches on this
Speaker 2: prediction market that maybe somebody else was betting against, was
Speaker 2: the person who was Trump's longstanding teleprompter operator, which he
Speaker 2: knew what was about to be in the speech. So
Speaker 2: if they're betting, Hey, will Trump mentioned Iran? Will Trump
Speaker 2: talk about oil prices? Will Trump mentioned this or that?
Speaker 2: Guess who's gonna know. The teleprompter guy, he would know
Speaker 2: because he would have the information and the teleprompter. And
Speaker 2: he might say, well, Trump, that goes off teleprompter and
Speaker 2: offscript all the time. True, but he's almost guaranteed to
Speaker 2: at least get through the prepared remarks before he goes
Speaker 2: and riffs on other things. So if the prepared remarks
Speaker 2: had something, it would be a slam dunk for this guy.
Speaker 2: And he was betting a bunch of money on it.
Speaker 2: And I say that that's not fair. Just quite obviously
Speaker 2: it's not fair. This is when President Donald Trump approached
Speaker 2: the podium to deliver a State of the Union address
Speaker 2: in February, one of the few people who knew what
Speaker 2: he was about to say was allegedly setting himself up
Speaker 2: to profit from the president's words. Trump's longtime teleprompter operator
Speaker 2: is believed to have made tens of thousands of dollars
Speaker 2: by placing bets on that speech and more than a
Speaker 2: dozen others in the prediction market. Caushie Federal investigators with
Speaker 2: the Community Futures Trading Commission found Gabriel Perez, a technical
Speaker 2: assistant to the president who's been operating Trump's teleprompter since
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, is in talks with federal regulators to settle
Speaker 2: allegations he used his inside knowledge of the president's speeches
Speaker 2: to win more than one hundred thousand dollars. So while
Speaker 2: you're out there betting on this weird stuff, there's people
Speaker 2: who literally have the answers to the questions who are
Speaker 2: betting and making a bunch of money off of it.
Speaker 2: One of the other things I heard about this was
Speaker 2: that I think one of the people involved in the
Speaker 2: raid to grab Maduro, the leader of Venezuela and the
Speaker 2: darknt Knight, yanked him out of his house and pulled
Speaker 2: him into prison. Warry now sits in the United States
Speaker 2: of America. One of the people that made a bet
Speaker 2: on that was part of the armed forces operations to
Speaker 2: go and remove Maduro. And they're like, hey, I've got
Speaker 2: the information, I might as well go with it. And
Speaker 2: you might say, well, Sean, I mean, this happens with stocks,
Speaker 2: it happens with insider trading with stocks, It's happened with
Speaker 2: sports forever and now it's just happening in the prediction
Speaker 2: world where people have information and they can make money
Speaker 2: off of it.
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right, But I ask you is that fair?
Speaker 2: Because these people, I think are just flat out cheating
Speaker 2: in these worlds. The regulation for this needs to be
Speaker 2: kicked up a notch in my opinion. I think we
Speaker 2: need to make sure it's fair and as safe as possible.
Speaker 2: If you are somebody who wants to bet your money
Speaker 2: on this stuff, but I shouldn't being regulated if they
Speaker 2: caught this guy. Calshi was the one who started to
Speaker 2: notice and investigate this. On their end, they were like,
Speaker 2: wh wha, wha, who whoa Why is somebody coming out
Speaker 2: six figures ahead on the Trump bets on what will
Speaker 2: be in his speech? Do they happen to know? And
Speaker 2: then they found out that they do. And this this
Speaker 2: is happening time and time again. But there's other things too.
Speaker 2: Sela like this story says that a bunch of the platforms,
Speaker 2: including Calshi, which I mentioned previously, the prediction market, they're
Speaker 2: now about to allow people to bet on airport delays,
Speaker 2: So whether or not a flight will be delayed, you
Speaker 2: can bet on that. And I said, oh, great, even better.
Speaker 2: How does that not end up with? You know, you're
Speaker 2: trying to get to your grandmother's funeral in Sheboygan and
Speaker 2: there's some absolute deranged lunatic who is betting his rent
Speaker 2: money on whether or not your Southwest Airlines flight is
Speaker 2: going to be delayed and then maybe even calling in
Speaker 2: a bomb threat to ensure he gets his payout, right, like,
Speaker 2: how could this possibly go wrong? This is what we're seeing.
Speaker 2: We're seeing cheating. We're seeing stuff where it's like, uh
Speaker 2: oh that that could be messed with. And in case
Speaker 2: you think you're going to go that, they're not going
Speaker 2: to screw with this stuff, Sean. They were betting in
Speaker 2: the UK on temperature readings, Yeah, in different cities what
Speaker 2: the temperature would get to, what the high temperature would
Speaker 2: be for the day. And there was a guy who
Speaker 2: is betting money and he found out that the temperature
Speaker 2: mechanism that they were using was by the airport and
Speaker 2: like Gatwick or something, and he climbed over the fence
Speaker 2: and he had a heating device that he put up
Speaker 2: to the temperature measurement like a blow dryer, right, like
Speaker 2: a blow dryer type thing, and he drove the temperature
Speaker 2: up to the number that he bet on and rigged
Speaker 2: the whole thing. I mean, just be careful with your money.
Speaker 2: I mean the market that this teleprompter operator was betting
Speaker 2: in this mentions column is kind of crazy because it's like,
Speaker 2: will somebody say this yes or no? And there's like,
Speaker 2: right now, there are when did it say? Thirteen nineteen
Speaker 2: different markets, so things you can bet on. They call
Speaker 2: them markets on. What will the announcers say during the
Speaker 2: Mets Phillies professional baseball game? Now, not a one of
Speaker 2: these says smoke, which would be a pretty good one
Speaker 2: to bet on right now.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they say, what are the options?
Speaker 4: Ninety seven percent chance on Citizens Bank Park, like they'll
Speaker 4: name the park. Okay, that's a pretty easy one. Trade
Speaker 4: or traded, pinch hitter or pinch hit, bunt or bunted, error,
Speaker 4: sweep or swept, MVP, bases, loaded, rob or robbed, walk off,
Speaker 4: wild pitch, shut out, pitch clock grand slam Otani is
Speaker 4: only a twenty six percent extra inning no hitter or
Speaker 4: what a catch And the only.
Speaker 2: People in that case that know whether that's going to
Speaker 2: be said or not would very likely be just the broadcasters, right,
Speaker 2: they know whether or not they're going to say this,
Speaker 2: or they have the ones you have control over saying this.
Speaker 2: But if I'm the broadcast, or can I just go.
Speaker 1: Hey, selight, I'm gonna say Otani.
Speaker 2: So put, like, put some money on Otani so you
Speaker 2: and your family can win some money. I go, yes
Speaker 2: on Otani, fifty thousand dollars on Otani, and then during
Speaker 2: the game, I'll go, oh, Tonie, and then everybody else
Speaker 2: thinks there's something fair going on.
Speaker 11: No.
Speaker 2: Simply Jeremy on YouTube says, that's actually pretty smart. Well,
Speaker 2: it's not that it's not smart. It is absolutely smart.
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting it's not smart. What I think it
Speaker 2: is is unfair. It's one thousand percent unfair, And we
Speaker 2: have to say do we just embrace that and say
Speaker 2: the people who gamble on this stuff deserve for it
Speaker 2: to be unfair. How do we say that it should
Speaker 2: be fair? I wonder how.
Speaker 4: Much you can do without violating the law on something
Speaker 4: like this. So say I put fifty thousand dollars that
Speaker 4: says they will say it Otani during your broadcast. If
Speaker 4: they say it, I stay to win one hundred and
Speaker 4: seventy thousand dollars. If they just say the word otani.
Speaker 4: They say the word Otani, and I put down fifty
Speaker 4: grand I will more than triple my money. But I
Speaker 4: need a little insurance. Yeah, So I buy a ticket
Speaker 4: to the game and then I just write I just
Speaker 4: have a sign that says Otani or something.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm very not.
Speaker 4: Just remember the guy that was watching the World Cup
Speaker 4: while he was at the baseball game and screaming goal
Speaker 4: every time they.
Speaker 1: Got a goal.
Speaker 2: If I just if I just sat there and I
Speaker 2: got a seat close to the broadcasters booth, and I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, Tony, Tony, some guy down there seems
Speaker 2: to be screaming O tani.
Speaker 1: Bit seventy thousand.
Speaker 2: Yes. How is this not going to have an impact
Speaker 2: on all of our lives in some ways? Is that
Speaker 2: people will rig the system anytime you give them the opportunity,
Speaker 2: they will rig the system. They're going to rig the
Speaker 2: temperature voting. They're going to rig the airports and the
Speaker 2: delays on the planes. They're going to rig every every
Speaker 2: single thing that they possibly can, the teleprompter, bets, all
Speaker 2: of those things. And they're going to continue doing that
Speaker 2: for I think a very long time. But you let
Speaker 2: us know what you think, send a dispatch over on
Speaker 2: the website at thenewschunkie dot com right now.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here.
Speaker 2: We got a couple of people with dispatches and we
Speaker 2: haven't played one yet.
Speaker 1: Here's Lil's sister with a dispatch. Go ahead, Hello.
Speaker 8: So I was a bartender about twenty five years ago.
Speaker 8: When my shift and the other bartender shift ended, we
Speaker 8: went to another bar and with a couple of our
Speaker 8: customers and the manager.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there was one of.
Speaker 8: Those blow tests for alcohol, and we all went ahead
Speaker 8: and did it, and the other bartender was higher than
Speaker 8: the customers we were serving the entire night. So that
Speaker 8: was crazy because he looked perfectly normal.
Speaker 1: That happens more than you think.
Speaker 8: Anyhow, don't do the blow test.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, a little sister. That's a
Speaker 1: weird sentence for me to say. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2: There is absolutely a solid chance at most bars that
Speaker 2: if you did an impromptu test on the bartenders, they
Speaker 2: would not be blowing as zero point zero. I've seen
Speaker 2: that man, he may minillion times in my lifeticipated.
Speaker 1: They want to.
Speaker 2: Bet on how many stories I say each day that
Speaker 2: involve airplanes. They want to bet on who's going to
Speaker 2: bring the last minute message on Friday.
Speaker 1: Oh, there's always a lot of talk about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like there's a lot of stuff that you
Speaker 2: can do that you do to impact this, Kurt says
Speaker 2: on JCS yesterday the Jim Colbert Show, they reported that
Speaker 2: there was a guy who yelled at a golf golfer
Speaker 2: putting so that he didn't lose a forty million dollar bet.
Speaker 2: I mean this, I don't know if that's true, orenough,
Speaker 2: but that's that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Like you put money on something and then and you
Speaker 2: try to change the outcome, or you put money on
Speaker 2: things when you're cheating and you have an unfair advantage.
Speaker 1: That's just kind of inevitable.
Speaker 2: I think, I really think it is because of the
Speaker 2: money involved in these stories. But give us your thoughts
Speaker 2: over at thenewsjunkie dot com right now. When we come back,
Speaker 2: we will get to of course, the hot sheet. I've
Speaker 2: got a great pick aside. I got a bomb pick
Speaker 2: aside for you that somebody tagged me in yesterday.
Speaker 1: Let me move that down the front of the line.
Speaker 2: I don't have a bomb, like I have an explosive
Speaker 2: device but I have a top notch, very very good
Speaker 2: pick aside that's coming up at the top of the hours.
Speaker 2: Don't miss that. The hot sheet coming up next on
Speaker 2: the News Junkie. Fritz in the Street is the next segment.
Speaker 2: It's happening after the hot sheet. You are going to

Speaker 2: mortgage guy don because he will be back next week.
Speaker 2: He has a sweet vacation going on right now. He'll
Speaker 2: tell us all about what's happening, but he needs somebody
Speaker 2: to stand in from. We had somebody last week and
Speaker 2: it was awesome, all right, it was fun. We got
Speaker 2: to hang out with this guy and he showed us
Speaker 2: the hotel that he worked out and stuff.
Speaker 1: And now it's your turn.
Speaker 2: And this is probably once in a lifetime opportunity because
Speaker 2: we don't usually have that many opportunities to do this,
Speaker 2: so this might be it. If you want to play
Speaker 2: Fritz on the Street, you gotta be able to do
Speaker 2: zoom and I need you to email me tips at
Speaker 2: the news Junki dot com, tips at the news junky
Speaker 2: dot com. If you're gonna do this, I need somebody's
Speaker 2: gonna be watching their email because as Sea Lane's doing
Speaker 2: his segment, I'm gonna send you a zoom link. You
Speaker 2: launch it, and then you're gonna be playing Fritz on
Speaker 2: the Street with us in a matter of minutes. Right now,
Speaker 2: let's do the hot sheets sheet.
Speaker 1: It's in new but not like real important news. That's
Speaker 1: again to be parting on the planet.
Speaker 2: The top stories from the people on your screens and
Speaker 2: speakers are on a hotsheet with Sea Lane. That's right,
Speaker 2: The top five stories of the nonsense news that have
Speaker 2: brought to you by that mortgage guy down and we
Speaker 2: start with one. You know, a lot of times when
Speaker 2: you see stuff like go super viral, it happens like overnight,
Speaker 2: right like a video, something stupid happening, something fun happens overnight.
Speaker 2: It happens very quickly. Sometimes not so much. Because this
Speaker 2: thing that's going around the internet right now that I
Speaker 2: saw today is hilarious, but it happened back in twenty twelve,
Speaker 2: and the reason we're only finding out about it this
Speaker 2: year is because it happened in Iceland, and so Americans,
Speaker 2: white people in general, they if they can't understand what they're.
Speaker 1: Reading, they flip to the next thing.
Speaker 4: You know, you flip to the next thing if something's
Speaker 4: in Icelandic however, and I sent you this Instagram link,
Speaker 4: so to pull it up real quick.
Speaker 1: All right, hang on, let me see.
Speaker 4: So this Icelandic TV channel STU two was airing an
Speaker 4: episode of the Teletubbies. And I don't know how this
Speaker 4: gets crossed, right, I don't know how things like this happen.
Speaker 4: Is this real air the Teletubbies and the subtitles were
Speaker 4: from an episode of the Sopranos. Now that's hilarious and
Speaker 4: probably made some moves in Iceland, but nobody thought to
Speaker 4: translate them and send them to America until I don't know,
Speaker 4: fourteen years later. So now somebody has done the translation
Speaker 4: and edited in the American subtitles of this Teletubbies episode
Speaker 4: with Sopranos subtitles. You're nothing but a failure of a man,
Speaker 4: says the one. The first one has one of the
Speaker 4: Teletubbies looking at the other and says, I know you
Speaker 4: were high at my mother in law's funeral. Just hilarious.
Speaker 4: At the time of viewer photographed the screen posted the
Speaker 4: images on Facebook, where the mistake became a local viral
Speaker 4: story in Iceland, but just Iceland because nobody did the translation,
Speaker 4: and so I don't know how a mix up like
Speaker 4: that happens. But I did find that very funny when
Speaker 4: I scrolled past it this morning. I meant to do
Speaker 4: this story yesterday because we started with that video of
Speaker 4: the Canadians on the train with the flames all around him. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and you could definitely tell, like from their accents, right,
Speaker 4: they were Canadian and sound, they had that Canadian sound
Speaker 4: to them. But there was a survey done by the
Speaker 4: Writers Guild of Canada and they said, we don't really
Speaker 4: love the funny accents that were portrayed as the Canadians
Speaker 4: are saying this uh huh. Seventy one percent of those
Speaker 4: surveys said Canucks on TV speak with a funny accent
Speaker 4: and overuse the word a and pronouncing about as a
Speaker 4: boot and that's what they do.
Speaker 2: That's it's not all of Canada this speaks like that,
Speaker 2: but there's some parts of Canada where they definitely do that.
Speaker 4: Respondents also took issue with characters that were overly dull
Speaker 4: and apologetic. That sixty two point three percent sixty point eight.
Speaker 2: Percent of respondents were took issue with the fact that
Speaker 2: they portray Canadians as hockey obsessed and.
Speaker 1: Only living in rural areas of the north. That was
Speaker 1: forty three point seven. This is literally what you do,
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 8: Though?
Speaker 1: Yes, what do you think they do with Americans?
Speaker 2: The Americans are usually loud, fat, cowboy whatever, beer drinking
Speaker 2: and the same thing.
Speaker 4: The hilarious part to me that made this article seem
Speaker 4: slightly out of touch or just behind the times is
Speaker 4: that the president of the Writers Guild of Canada, Bruce Smith,
Speaker 4: sites as an example of this kind of activity.
Speaker 1: That they don't like.
Speaker 4: Robin Sparkles, the Canadian pop star alter ego of Robin
Speaker 4: Scherbotsky on the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother,
Speaker 4: which has been over for years, as played by the
Speaker 4: Vancouver born Kobe Smolders. She sang about going to them
Speaker 4: and building sand castles in the sand and they were like, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's one of the that's one of the examples. Robin
Speaker 4: Sparkle's is is not an accurate representation of cana Those.
Speaker 1: You don't know.
Speaker 2: It was one of the characters Colby's Smolders or whatever
Speaker 2: her name is, Kobe. She was a pop star and
Speaker 2: it was like they wanted to unearth the music video
Speaker 2: that she appeared in.
Speaker 4: And they found her secret life as a Canadian pop
Speaker 4: star before she moved to America. An iconic piece of
Speaker 4: memorabilia has gone for huge amounts of dollars, smashing predictions
Speaker 4: and selling for a record setting sum. It is, of course,
Speaker 4: a piece of memorabilia from Star Wars. Heritage Auctions confirmed
Speaker 4: late Wednesday that Mark Hamil's aka Luke Skywalker original screen
Speaker 4: used lightsaber has been sold at auction. It was the
Speaker 4: one he wielded during the climactic face off with Darth
Speaker 4: Vader in nineteen eighty Star Wars episode five, The Empire
Speaker 4: strikes back until the Sith Lord cut off his hand
Speaker 4: and delivered the infamous eye I'm your father line. How
Speaker 4: much do you think that screen used lightsaber went for
Speaker 4: at auction? I'd have to say a lot.
Speaker 2: But I would also suggest that I've heard this so
Speaker 2: many times, like I've heard screen used lightsaber. I don't
Speaker 2: know how many they have. It seems like there's a
Speaker 2: lot of them. But I still want to say, well, there's.
Speaker 4: A lot of people that wheeled lightsabers and Star Wars
Speaker 4: that would be used on screen, but the one that
Speaker 4: was the key one. This is the one, this is
Speaker 4: the scene. This is the only quote that people know
Speaker 4: from Star Wars, some of them.
Speaker 1: Five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: It was originally offered for one million dollars, oh my god,
Speaker 4: and expected to fetch in that range up to two
Speaker 4: million dollars. However, a new world record, a new world
Speaker 4: auction record for the screen new Star Wars prop was
Speaker 4: reached at three point seven five million dollars just for
Speaker 4: a lightsaber that doesn't even cut through things. But congratulations
Speaker 4: to whoever has that in their collection. Now, I'm sure
Speaker 4: it is a good one.
Speaker 2: This guy over here, there's a a bunch of talk
Speaker 2: about him wanting a pardon from President Trump. Now Mark Kelly,
Speaker 2: R Kelly, people are really fishing for these pardons. Huh yeah,
Speaker 2: they're like, hey, you know, you might as well shoot
Speaker 2: your shot.
Speaker 1: I guess R.
Speaker 4: Kelly has a lot of free time in prison. And
Speaker 4: now there's a group of his lawyers that are kind
Speaker 4: of fighting over this that they're calling it a splinter.
Speaker 1: Group, which sounds a lot cooler than it is.
Speaker 4: That says they're officially charged, excuse me, in charge of
Speaker 4: the imprisoned Singer's bid for clemency, but Kelly's attorney of
Speaker 4: record tells TMZ the claims are totally unsubstantiated. The infight
Speaker 4: between the Kelly factions kicked off Tuesday after Kelly filed
Speaker 4: a petition to commute his thirty year sentence for sexual
Speaker 4: misconduct convictions. In one corner, you have Kelly's Chicago based
Speaker 4: attorney of record bo Brindley. Bo is such an attorney name, yeah,
Speaker 4: b e Au. And then the other you have Atlanta
Speaker 4: based attorney Leah Schmidt. Schmid tells TMZ, I have formally
Speaker 4: submitted a passionate clemency petition graciously asking President Trump for
Speaker 4: mercy on mister Kelly's behalf.
Speaker 1: That's what I think. Good luck.
Speaker 4: And right now we are going to the box office
Speaker 4: and there's not a whole lot coming out. There is
Speaker 4: a movie called cut Off, a comedy driver with Kristin Wig,
Speaker 4: Jonah Hill, Nathan Lane, and Chelsea Peretti. That roster alone,
Speaker 4: I think for me worth checking out. But the big
Speaker 4: thing at the box office this week is obviously The
Speaker 4: Odissey The Odyssey with Elliott Page, Ann Hathaway, Zendia and
Speaker 4: Tom Holland, who as we learned earlier this week thought
Speaker 4: that his performances were just really bad and that's why
Speaker 4: the director kept cutting. But it was the fact that
Speaker 4: the Imax film only does like three minutes at a time. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and now Christopher Nolan has officially scored his highest Rotten
Speaker 4: Tomatoes score of all time for The Odyssey. It opens
Speaker 4: in theaters this weekend. Reviews are pouring in like Greek
Speaker 4: soldiers out of a big wooden horse is exactly what
Speaker 4: it says here, and it says I think he said
Speaker 4: ninety eight percent. He's looking at on the reviewer score
Speaker 4: for The Odyssey. So if you got three ish hours
Speaker 4: to kill, I believe this weekend The Odyssey might be
Speaker 4: a fun watch for you. And if you have a
Speaker 4: mortgage rate with a seven or eight in front of it,
Speaker 4: you are probably paying too much money. You are definitely
Speaker 4: paying too much money, and it's time to look to
Speaker 4: that mortgage guy Don for a refile.
Speaker 1: He wants to help you.
Speaker 4: He is a member of the real radio family and
Speaker 4: he wants to help you save that money, and he
Speaker 4: does it very well. So you would do yourself a
Speaker 4: service to bring that quote over to that mortgage guy

Speaker 2: on the way. It's coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: One of the things we do on the show is
Speaker 2: a pick aside. That means we present you a story
Speaker 2: and you have to pick the side.
Speaker 1: Who was right who was wrong.
Speaker 2: This involves a lot of things, critical thinking, using your
Speaker 2: moral structure, your lens for viewing the world what truly
Speaker 2: is right and wrong.
Speaker 1: But we don't have to get all deep about it.
Speaker 1: Let's just dive in.
Speaker 2: Because this one happened in a neighborhood in the Sunshine
Speaker 2: state of Florida.
Speaker 1: And here goes nothing. This is a pick a sidehere.
Speaker 2: We have to choose between the neighbor who doesn't want
Speaker 2: the kids on his yard and the other neighbor who
Speaker 2: plays basketball.
Speaker 1: Here we go, Seelander, your right, we're going, doll. Here
Speaker 1: we go this new christ they did every day. See
Speaker 1: basketball's right here all right as police body camp.
Speaker 2: No. So this guy, now he's got some basketballs in
Speaker 2: his front yard, and this neighbor says, these kids are
Speaker 2: playing basketball, and the basketball keeps going in my front yard.
Speaker 2: And when the basketball comes over here, they run over
Speaker 2: into my front yard, trespassing in my front yard.
Speaker 1: I can't allow that.
Speaker 2: And then when they go to get the ball back,
Speaker 2: like the cops trying to get the ball back, he goes,
Speaker 2: they got any identifying marks on that? So that's that's
Speaker 2: just to be in a jerk right there, like you know,
Speaker 2: it's their basketball. But the guy doesn't want to give
Speaker 2: the basketball back that's come from the next door neighbor's
Speaker 2: house where they're playing basketball.
Speaker 1: Because it doesn't have any identifying remarks.
Speaker 2: This is just the beginning of things going a bit
Speaker 2: sour here.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I know he played.
Speaker 1: They just potentially throw it over here.
Speaker 12: I don't know he played basketball. He comes over here,
Speaker 12: they might be that he's playing with him. They may
Speaker 12: not be his.
Speaker 2: He's being pedantic. The cop is saying, who else is basketball's?
Speaker 1: Would they be?
Speaker 2: The basketball is from your neighbor's house right there, there's
Speaker 2: the basketball hoop. When you're playing basketball, sometimes it's sort
Speaker 2: of you know.
Speaker 1: You lose the ball.
Speaker 2: You've done this before, h even you see absolutely, hey,
Speaker 2: screw you basketball.
Speaker 4: The things that you could play where something ends up
Speaker 4: in a neighbor's yard, like if you're throwing a frisbee
Speaker 4: around in the backyard, plenty of.
Speaker 2: Guess what neighbors usually do about that. They're just kind
Speaker 2: of chill and they go get the basketball and go back.
Speaker 2: It's not the end of the world. This guy, he
Speaker 2: thinks it's the end of the world.
Speaker 12: So if you're gonna say they are, he is, and
Speaker 12: he is trespassed in my property. The keyan which they
Speaker 12: do every single.
Speaker 1: Day, not necessarily very much necessary.
Speaker 5: We've got video it do you have a video with
Speaker 5: him walking and putting those there? No a video of
Speaker 5: the playing basketball.
Speaker 12: The ball's coming over here, okay if you say that's
Speaker 12: his property, but his brother.
Speaker 1: The cop says, you want me to arrest the ball.
Speaker 2: This guy wants everyone arrested just for the record, and
Speaker 2: trespass the little kid who lives next door. One of
Speaker 2: them is three years old and the other one's like
Speaker 2: seven or something.
Speaker 1: He wants them both trespassed. It's hard to see.
Speaker 4: Right now because of the angle of the camera, but
Speaker 4: if if the police officer turns to his left, I
Speaker 4: think there's a giant net for that basketball hoop in
Speaker 4: the driveway of the offending person here, which leads me
Speaker 4: to believe that this guy has been such a problem
Speaker 4: that they put up a giant net yep, to try
Speaker 4: and avoid having this issue and going on. This guy's long.
Speaker 4: What an annoying old dude.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 1: It's so bad.
Speaker 2: So there the houses are right next to each other
Speaker 2: in this suburban neighborhood, and then the basketball hoop is
Speaker 2: between them, and it, like Celian said, they have a.
Speaker 1: Huge net that is meant to be up.
Speaker 2: To catch the basketball so it doesn't dare go over
Speaker 2: onto their neighbor's property. But it does every once in
Speaker 2: a while, and this guy is just absolutely angry about it.
Speaker 1: He does not like that they're coming on his property.
Speaker 3: Do you have a video with.
Speaker 13: Him walking and putting those there?
Speaker 12: No, the video.
Speaker 1: They're playing basketball, the balls.
Speaker 12: Coming over here, Okay, coming over you if you say this, brother.
Speaker 1: He says, is over because y'all.
Speaker 2: Won't like he did him.
Speaker 12: So he says his eleven year old brother and his
Speaker 12: three year old brother to retrieve the balls every night.
Speaker 8: I'm not even three year old.
Speaker 12: Well, y'all, I haven't trust past the eleven year old,
Speaker 12: which you can. Ste clearly says you can't even so.
Speaker 2: He says, I want the eleven year old trespass, and
Speaker 2: he she won't trespass the three year old. I mean,
Speaker 2: because obviously this is just insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Same, Like this guy is acting as if he has
Speaker 2: the worst neighbors in the world. This is just kids
Speaker 2: playing basketball. Bro, don't live in shared society if you
Speaker 2: can't deal with shared society. One of the elements of
Speaker 2: shared society is families and kids. And I don't want
Speaker 2: the kids to spray paint your garage or to mess
Speaker 2: with you or to flatten your tires. Those things are
Speaker 2: all wrong. But they're gonna play basketball. Dude, It's not
Speaker 2: that big of a deal.
Speaker 1: That's too clear. Let's say you can, you can, and
Speaker 1: we want to trespassed.
Speaker 7: I mean, well, I just.
Speaker 3: Want to get here.
Speaker 12: Y'all say you're not going to serve a trust this
Speaker 12: morning once again before illegally.
Speaker 2: If it gets involved, fine, but I'm not just half
Speaker 2: an eleven year old or three old. Okay, are you
Speaker 2: want to take them off your property?
Speaker 1: I don't want you to do anything with the basketball.
Speaker 12: You can't seem to tell me whether they are aren't his.
Speaker 12: That's why I'm asking you. You're a legal authority, right, so.
Speaker 3: You don't want us to get those obvious.
Speaker 1: Who they are. But we'll go ahead. We're going to
Speaker 1: do a report on it. Okay, you said, do you
Speaker 1: have video of them?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 12: We got Okay, so I got video eleven year old
Speaker 12: twice yesterday year old video?
Speaker 1: Then you know whose false they are?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 5: I know he was playing with him. There's no names there.
Speaker 1: What an idiot? This guys?
Speaker 2: Why do we why do we let people like this
Speaker 2: talk to us this way? I don't know what I know.
Speaker 2: You know it's their basketball then, right? No, I know
Speaker 2: he was playing with the basketball. Well, there's no names
Speaker 2: in the basketball. What's the point of his argument there?
Speaker 1: His point is?
Speaker 2: His point of his argument there is he doesn't want
Speaker 2: them to retrieve the basketball because he doesn't want them
Speaker 2: to go back to playing the basketball game again. So
Speaker 2: he says, how do I know it's their basketball? And
Speaker 2: she goes, it's just obvious. It's common sense that it's
Speaker 2: their basketball, you dummy. And he goes, well, it doesn't
Speaker 2: have anybody's name on it, like writing a name on
Speaker 2: something is the greatest legal bond to that item or
Speaker 2: that kid.
Speaker 1: I would write my name on that basketball right right now, immediately,
Speaker 1: because nobody's name on it. You know it's from the
Speaker 1: basketball hoop.
Speaker 2: It's four feet away its property.
Speaker 6: But you saw them playing with the basketballs and there's
Speaker 6: two basketball.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get your information.
Speaker 3: I'm going to go over there and talk to them.
Speaker 5: I don't think information you can the.
Speaker 12: Times.
Speaker 2: So you don't want to cooperate with us at all.
Speaker 9: When it comes to your on our report for you.
Speaker 12: He said, you're not gonna help me once again in
Speaker 12: any Christmas morning.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm not doing a chest that on a three
Speaker 1: year older or letting out all right, there we go.
Speaker 2: This is the the shakedown in this neighborhood. Pick a side.
Speaker 2: Do you pick the old man who says, this is
Speaker 2: my property. These kids should not be throwing their basketballs
Speaker 2: over on my property and running to get them and
Speaker 2: running on my grass and coming up on my property
Speaker 2: to get their basketballs. And the kids next door of
Speaker 2: the family says their kids, they're playing basketball. Let them
Speaker 2: enjoy their lives. Pick a side. Who is right? Who
Speaker 2: is wrong? Let us know tips at the newsjunkie dot
Speaker 2: com or send a dispatch at the Newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Right now, okay, what do you think Zeland? I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm team kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, come on, right, Like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: Are you young to be.
Speaker 4: A dick? But you could, I mean, you could be
Speaker 4: a dick at eleven and you could write the name
Speaker 4: on the ball kid? You would run over the time.
Speaker 4: This is like, what a waste of time? What a
Speaker 4: waste of anger? The world is full of people wasting
Speaker 4: their anger. This guy is right up there with him,
Speaker 4: right up there with him. I know that you might
Speaker 4: be like, this is my grass. I take care of
Speaker 4: my property.
Speaker 2: The kids coming over to retrieve their basketball every once
Speaker 2: in a while is not worthy of you going nuclear
Speaker 2: and involving the cops in this. When you say that
Speaker 2: the neighbors have called the cops, they've probably called the
Speaker 2: cops because you're a lunatic yelling at children for playing basketball.
Speaker 2: Somebody says, I'm on the kid's side. Is there anybody
Speaker 2: who's not on the kid's side? That's That's what I
Speaker 2: want to know. Is there anybody who looks at this
Speaker 2: and goes, now, that guy's right, that's his property and
Speaker 2: the kids shouldn't be trouncing all over his grass.
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll get to your response.
Speaker 2: It's coming up next on the news Junkie.
Speaker 1: Jury Duty is on the way.
Speaker 2: And before we get to that, an update on the
Speaker 2: story we talked about yesterday. Most everybody seemed to be
Speaker 2: in an agreement on these data centers and the drama
Speaker 2: from that, and they had a big vote about another
Speaker 2: proposed one where we have a station in West Palm
Speaker 2: Beach and Project Tango, the AI data center that they
Speaker 2: were going to be building there, got rejected by the
Speaker 2: folks that were listening to, Like I think there was
Speaker 2: like nine or ten hours of testimony about this AI
Speaker 2: data center, and they just flat out said, nope, we
Speaker 2: reject your proposal. We're not going to build this data
Speaker 2: center here right now. It was supposed to be this
Speaker 2: pretty huge facility. I don't have the square footage.
Speaker 1: Oh now, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Do two million square feet right, that's huge. This place
Speaker 2: is supposed to be and it was going to be loud.
Speaker 2: They were worried about that some noise levels, we were
Speaker 2: going to ruin the community, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: So they voted that thing down.
Speaker 2: Now, I do continue to hear a lot of the
Speaker 2: anti data center people go nuts because everybody watched the
Speaker 2: TikTok video, and TikTok videos can just absolutely cause brain
Speaker 2: rot in the populace. And everybody watched the TikTok video,
Speaker 2: where why were there bars popping up on your camera?
Speaker 2: That wasn't the camera, that was the just yeah that
Speaker 2: it was a safe zone.
Speaker 1: It was like Sea Lan's in prison. I don't even
Speaker 1: know if we can show that. I can't.
Speaker 2: The screen that I watched Selan on all of a
Speaker 2: sudden he had bars in front of him Okay, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 2: heard the distraction there, but they said, we don't want
Speaker 2: to have this place here. And the TikTok rot happens
Speaker 2: when somebody watches a video and they go, did you
Speaker 2: hear how much water these facilities use? And they were
Speaker 2: doing that with this too. There were like six hundred
Speaker 2: thousand gallons of water. And the water thing is mostly dumb, folks,
Speaker 2: Just so you know, when you hear people talking about
Speaker 2: the AI centers, like how much water did it take
Speaker 2: to make this video, that's mostly dumb. The water that
Speaker 2: they utilize is obviously circulated throughout the premises, so it's
Speaker 2: not constantly taking from the local water supply. Sometimes they
Speaker 2: have to replenish, but it's really not that big of
Speaker 2: a deal. The problems are with your power system, with
Speaker 2: them forcing things like eminent domain, with the noise that
Speaker 2: it causes in your community. The lack of actual long term,
Speaker 2: high paying jobs because it's a two million square foot facility,
Speaker 2: but they really don't have that many people who work
Speaker 2: in these places, right. The jobs are all in building them,
Speaker 2: and how long does that last for? So you build it,
Speaker 2: you get some jobs there, then not that many people
Speaker 2: work in the two million square foot place, and then
Speaker 2: the data center is part of the network of data
Speaker 2: centers that is ridding jobs from everybody else out there.
Speaker 4: I thought the water thing was a little ridiculous, but
Speaker 4: one of the times that somebody was telling me about this,
Speaker 4: they were like, oh, it's killing a lot of trees too,
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I could see people being a lot
Speaker 4: more upset if that were the case. I don't know
Speaker 4: if it is, yeah, but like get that part being.
Speaker 4: You know, trees are good, but water comes back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have no shortage of water our planet, just
Speaker 2: for those you haven't seen, it is made of water.
Speaker 2: It's the biggest thing we have supply of around around
Speaker 2: these parts.
Speaker 1: And we can get the salt out of the water
Speaker 1: if we need to.
Speaker 2: But the point is these facilities that utilize water, they
Speaker 2: recirculate it. And this is if you know anything about
Speaker 2: computers and cooling computers. They that's what they're doing there, right,
Speaker 2: That's that's how all of this works. So the water
Speaker 2: thing is done, But the other concerns are legit and
Speaker 2: I don't blame people for having them. And they shot
Speaker 2: down this Project Tango thing to twelve hours of debate.
Speaker 1: It says actually do you think, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Because yesterday you had me check on it and I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, this meeting started at nine to thirty. Yeah,
Speaker 4: in the morning. You asked me to check on it
Speaker 4: around twelve thirty ish, and I was like, they weren't
Speaker 4: done at all.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 4: No, they had taken a recess or like a lunch
Speaker 4: break or something, and they wanted to move into a
Speaker 4: different facility because everybody outside was too hot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you probably got to heat it up there, but
Speaker 2: down there they're all screaming at each other.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 4: Do you think that the idea of the AI data
Speaker 4: center or just a data center in general, is lucrative
Speaker 4: enough to do it offshore?
Speaker 2: Geez, you know, I don't see why not. There's got
Speaker 2: to be the ability to do that. And if they
Speaker 2: could do that, it seems like they might be able
Speaker 2: to power it out there, right, You wouldn't if you
Speaker 2: could put the data center somewhere like that where it
Speaker 2: wasn't as cumbersome to any kind of neighborhood or population
Speaker 2: of people, and then you could power it off hydro electricity,
Speaker 2: because the ocean's the only thing that never gives up,
Speaker 2: never ever gives up. Then I think you would be
Speaker 2: in a much better position, but people don't want it
Speaker 2: in their neighborhoods for a lot of reason. I think
Speaker 2: they're right to feel that way. Big Digits says, we
Speaker 2: don't have an endless supply of water. If you're worried
Speaker 2: about water running out, I mean, I don't know what
Speaker 2: to tell you, buddy, Like this is not a genuine concern.
Speaker 2: It's not a genuine concern. The job situation is something
Speaker 2: to worry about, absolutely positively. That's a huge issue. The noise,
Speaker 2: the there's a lot of things to be upset about
Speaker 2: with these facilities, but the water one is really not
Speaker 2: not a big issue as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: Real quick, Deell LIS's to jury duty Court.
Speaker 10: Is now in session, So put your phone down and
Speaker 10: pay attention before we call the bailiff over to with
Speaker 10: your ass you're no injury duty with the News Junkie.

Speaker 2: call MOO or go to JUSTCALLMO dot com. After an accident,
Speaker 2: make sure you are using the attorney that's going to
Speaker 2: give you the attention that you deserve. That's MO to
Speaker 2: wit and go to just CALLMO dot com. Okay quickly
Speaker 2: Injury Duty. An update on this Nolan Wells, this teenager
Speaker 2: that went missing during the fourth of July on a
Speaker 2: boat trip to this island off the coast of Mississippi.
Speaker 2: They said they are now inspecting the cell phone of
Speaker 2: this teenager, Nolan Wells, with the district attorney. The district
Speaker 2: attorney said they're going over all the details in the phone.
Speaker 2: The family was concerned because his friends had the phone
Speaker 2: and they thought they were like the leading stuff and
Speaker 2: covering up their tracks.
Speaker 1: The family of.
Speaker 2: Nolan Wells, this young kid who's eighteen years old, who
Speaker 2: was black, and his family seems to believe that the friends,
Speaker 2: who are mostly white, had done something nefarious. But there's
Speaker 2: no real evidence of that just yet. And I like
Speaker 2: how at least the locals and the investigators are being
Speaker 2: very open and they're saying, let's look at the cell phone.
Speaker 2: You guys deserve to have questions. You deserve to have
Speaker 2: questions about this. Your son is dead. That sucks. It's
Speaker 2: unbelievably tough to deal with it. I couldn't even imagine.
Speaker 2: Well they deserve to have questions and get answers to
Speaker 2: those questions. I mean, they absolutely deserve that, yes, but
Speaker 2: I think that the when they find the answers here,
Speaker 2: it might not be the grand conspiracy that they're they're
Speaker 2: thinking it is.
Speaker 1: We'll see how it plays out. Though.
Speaker 2: We're going to come back with the Power Hour on
Speaker 2: the show. I got to get into these prison watch parties.
Speaker 2: I want to see what everybody thinks about that. We'll
Speaker 2: talk a little bit more about the Odyssey movie that's
Speaker 2: coming out this weekend, and a bunch of other clips
Speaker 2: in a grab bag segment. It's all coming up next
Speaker 2: on the News Chunky, I don't know why this AI
Speaker 2: think triggers some of you. PF on YouTube says you
Speaker 2: need to contact all the water districts in Florida and
Speaker 2: tell them the drought is bs per Sean.
Speaker 1: I hate to do this, but I.
Speaker 2: Expect a little more out of you listening to this show.
Speaker 2: This is a pretty simple thing. My claim is this.
Speaker 2: My claim is that I think the AI data centers
Speaker 2: are bad. I don't want one in my neighborhood, but
Speaker 2: I think we should have been putting them in places
Speaker 2: where we make sure that they don't have a negative
Speaker 2: impact on so many people. Because my whole worldview as
Speaker 2: I care about making better outcomes for the most people possible, right,
Speaker 2: so I want the most people to have a good
Speaker 2: and fair and free experience of just being a human
Speaker 2: being and enjoying themselves. I think these data centers could
Speaker 2: be a net negative to so many people, and we
Speaker 2: should make sure it's done the right way, if it's
Speaker 2: done at all, or certainly not in these neighborhoods. So
Speaker 2: then I say, just so you know, when you try
Speaker 2: to make the stupid arguments you see on TikTok or something,
Speaker 2: can you believe the amount of water that there's AI facility? Ways,
Speaker 2: if you do that and you're arguing against the companies
Speaker 2: that are trying to create the data centers, they are
Speaker 2: going to make you look ignorant, all right, because you've
Speaker 2: learned something on TikTok or you saw a post on
Speaker 2: social media, and you now believe that the big concern
Speaker 2: with the AI centers is actually wasteful water. That's not
Speaker 2: the big concern with the data centers. That's not an issue.
Speaker 2: It's not a significan an issue in any way. And
Speaker 2: if you bring it up they're gonna make you seem stupid,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna it's gonna lessen the power of the
Speaker 2: argument against these data centers in some of these communities. Right,
Speaker 2: this is not very difficult to understand. The other thing
Speaker 2: that I'm saying is we have an abundance of water
Speaker 2: on this planet, and whilst we may have droughts in
Speaker 2: particular areas, and you may have a lack of rainfall
Speaker 2: and you may have to wait until we get enough
Speaker 2: whether to come through to build up you know, this
Speaker 2: place or that place with the amount of rainwater it needs.
Speaker 2: Those are all legitimate concerns on a on a local
Speaker 2: and microlocal level. But when you're talking about the AI
Speaker 2: side of things, you're going to sound stupid. And I
Speaker 2: don't want you to sound stupid. I want you to
Speaker 2: be informed. I want you to have good arguments against them,
Speaker 2: because I want you to win.
Speaker 1: Stupid, I'm fine with it. I like company. You don't know, man,
Speaker 1: we've got droughts.
Speaker 2: In our area, and it's like, come on, do you
Speaker 2: not know that those things are not connected like you
Speaker 2: think they are. That's not how it works. That's not
Speaker 2: the problem. The problem is jobs. That's a huge earth
Speaker 2: shatteringly big problem. It's a massive problem. They can't fight
Speaker 2: back on that. It's a problem when they are also
Speaker 2: purchasing power from the same company that you are. Kilowatt
Speaker 2: hours getting more expensive in your area. It's an issue, right,
Speaker 2: That's an issue, a real one, and you're gonna have
Speaker 2: a good argument against the data companies they pop up
Speaker 2: in your neighborhood. But if you don't know what you're
Speaker 2: talking about, it's not gonna work as well. So, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, do your thing. But here we go. Let's
Speaker 2: do the Power Hour.
Speaker 1: They said it done. Then they said.
Speaker 2: I am gonna be representing them, and I'm gonna do
Speaker 2: it with a little bit of musie, a little bit
Speaker 2: of enthusiasm, a little bit of excitement.
Speaker 1: Time for the Power Hour.
Speaker 2: On the news, Chunky Lady is so great, man, Oh god,
Speaker 2: what was her name again? Set candidate If you guys
Speaker 2: didn't hear that this clip, she's running against somebody in
Speaker 2: Michigan and her name's Haley Stevens, and she's just sort
Speaker 2: of like, oh, she's like kind of nerdy, goofy, like
Speaker 2: people in politics used to be, honestly, before everything tried
Speaker 2: to be so polished and we want to make sure
Speaker 2: these people who are just out there trying to turn
Speaker 2: politics into a career. I kind of dig her in
Speaker 2: a way because she's she's just out there. She seems
Speaker 2: to just want to represent the people. Maybe she's dumb,
Speaker 2: maybe she has policies that are bad, but I don't
Speaker 2: hate her for this part. That was the part that
Speaker 2: I was mocking there, because she has a particular way
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 3: I'm going to be working on our behalf. I am
Speaker 3: going to be telling the stories on our behalf.
Speaker 1: And you better believe I'm going to be.
Speaker 3: Doing it with a little bit of joy, a little
Speaker 3: bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy, and a
Speaker 3: little bit of sicket to them.
Speaker 1: A little bit of thicket to them. It's my favorite part.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2: She's gone megaviral this week. That's Haley Stevens. She's running
Speaker 2: for Senate and chagin and we'll see how she does.
Speaker 2: We'll see if if that works, or if people make
Speaker 2: fun of her, or I don't know, we'll get into
Speaker 2: your emails here. In just a moment, Tim says, you
Speaker 2: sound very ignorant when you're talking about data centers and
Speaker 2: water waste. What evidence do you show that supports anything
Speaker 2: you're saying. Tim, You're gonna have to come at me
Speaker 2: with more than that, please, because you can't just say
Speaker 2: you sound ignorant?
Speaker 1: What evidence do you have? I just made a case.
Speaker 2: My case is that the water that people think is
Speaker 2: used that these AI data centers is recycled and recirculated.
Speaker 2: So people will go it takes forty thousand gallons of
Speaker 2: water to do it. It's like, yes, but the water
Speaker 2: for cooling like this is recirculated through facilities.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. That's my claim.
Speaker 2: Now I'm saying, you sound ignorant, Tim, So tell me
Speaker 2: how I got it wrong, because I can tell you
Speaker 2: that I don't have this wrong. But thank you for
Speaker 2: the email. Mark talks about the pick aside. Mark says,
Speaker 2: the tips of the neews Chunky dot com. Good afternoon, Sean,
Speaker 2: and see them. Anybody acts like that in the pick
Speaker 2: a side today proves they were just born old. They
Speaker 2: seem to forget they too were children once. I love
Speaker 2: when kids are playing in my neighborhood. It brings me
Speaker 2: back to when my friends and I used to terrorize
Speaker 2: our neighborhood in good ways. Nothing too bad, Big Mark
Speaker 2: says in an email. Yeah, that was like the most
Speaker 2: one sided pick aside, and in the history of the segment.
Speaker 2: I think like that guy just he didn't look good
Speaker 2: in the scenario. He's angry about the basketballs from his
Speaker 2: neighbor's kids, even though they had a big net up.
Speaker 2: Every once in a while, the basketball goes around and
Speaker 2: then they go onto his grass to pick up the
Speaker 2: basketball to bring it back, and he's like a terrorist
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 1: He just didn't look good in that.
Speaker 4: That was like one of the endearing things about the
Speaker 4: side of our neighborhood when we moved. We moved, you know,
Speaker 4: into the cul de Sac, and they were like kids
Speaker 4: playing out there, people that know each other. I always
Speaker 4: see my neighbors kids shout out Alfredo playing like hockey
Speaker 4: and soccer and all.
Speaker 1: Kinds of stuff.
Speaker 4: That's fun, right, Yeah, Yeah, the kids spending way more
Speaker 4: time outside than I used to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that's Isn't that what we
Speaker 2: want the kids to do anyhow? Aren't we like kind
Speaker 2: of screaming for kids to get off the internet and
Speaker 2: stop looking at the iPad and to go outside and
Speaker 2: do stuff like like we used to do. That's why
Speaker 2: I hear a lot of people saying and then when
Speaker 2: they do, this guy is the neighbor that's just completely
Speaker 2: angry about everything.
Speaker 1: Brian says, this is an easy fix.
Speaker 2: Why don't they just move the net to the other
Speaker 2: side of their property? Well, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 2: maybe it doesn't fit over I don't know. There could
Speaker 2: be some reason for that, but good question. At least
Speaker 2: a lot of other people emailing. We'll get to some
Speaker 2: more of your comments momentarily on the show. And I
Speaker 2: wanted to work in at least a dispatcher too, So
Speaker 2: let's see what we got.
Speaker 1: Somebody says, I also see the bars. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: what I was seeing.
Speaker 2: From Sea Lang's side of things. It looked like he
Speaker 2: was in prison. He was working on something. He was
Speaker 2: telling me about it during the break, as always were
Speaker 2: and proving and proving over here.
Speaker 1: So he's working on a couple of things. Here is
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Anonymous wants to talk about the old man of the basketball. Uh,
Speaker 2: here's Mo Mangi with the dispatch for us.
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, hope you guys are doing well in regards
Speaker 13: to this neighbor complaining about the basketball. Which one would
Speaker 13: you rather have kids playing basketball in your neighborhood or
Speaker 13: shooting up the neighborhood or flipping door handles, Like, I
Speaker 13: don't understand, I'd rather take the basketball right, yeah, thanks by.
Speaker 2: It's not even like they were playing basketball in the
Speaker 2: middle of the night or anything. It's such a tiny
Speaker 2: deal that this neighbor was blowing up so big, you know.
Speaker 2: I just I can't really make sense of it myself.
Speaker 2: I also saw some other kids screwing around the neighborhood
Speaker 2: a video that was going viral. I can't play it
Speaker 2: right now. These kids were going around their neighborhood and
Speaker 2: they had stumbled upon the thing that shows where the
Speaker 2: sex offenders are. Oh okay, what they found the sex
Speaker 2: offender map, And they were going through their neighborhood and
Speaker 2: harassing the sex offenders. And then when the people would
Speaker 2: come outside, they'd be like, stop bothering us, and they'd
Speaker 2: be like, stop touching little kids. It's a hard one
Speaker 2: to get mad at him for, because if you're going
Speaker 2: to bully somebody, bullying the sex offenders in your neighborhood
Speaker 2: is the most widely accepted form of bullying.
Speaker 4: Could you imagine the the attempt if the if the
Speaker 4: sex offenders were to get together and be like, hey,
Speaker 4: we're really being discriminated against in our neighborhood.
Speaker 1: You know, we've did it, We've done our time. Leave
Speaker 1: us alone. Please, Oh god, I would play this. I
Speaker 1: think they might.
Speaker 2: I'll try to play it, Ceilian just quickly, because I
Speaker 2: was talking about this.
Speaker 1: All right here they are.
Speaker 2: The kids are running up to this person's house to
Speaker 2: mess with the door because they're a sex offender. Imagine
Speaker 2: if that guy lived next to these people.
Speaker 1: All right here knocking the door, ringing the doorbell. We
Speaker 1: have a prize to give them. He won a prize.
Speaker 2: All right, They're they're trolling, and we want a prize
Speaker 2: the greatest sex offender in.
Speaker 1: The world for the fairy.
Speaker 2: They're just trolling this guy, right and I gotta stop
Speaker 2: it because the woman starts cursing, I think in the
Speaker 2: second year.
Speaker 1: But she gets mad at him.
Speaker 2: Kids used to do this kind of stuff in neighborhoods,
Speaker 2: and the sex offenders would be very mad about this.
Speaker 2: Maybe some other neighbors would get a little bit upset,
Speaker 2: but this is how kids used to occupy their time
Speaker 2: playing basketball and having the basketball go on your lawn
Speaker 2: probably take issue with them seeking out the sex offenders.
Speaker 1: Like cause I play a little more, I don't know it.
Speaker 2: It is pretty good. It's hard to get mad at him.
Speaker 2: Is the police officer right now? You guys pile the
Speaker 2: kid said your effing husband is a pedophile?
Speaker 3: What is your name?
Speaker 1: You already said? Okay. I knew they were going to
Speaker 1: get to it eventually. I knew it was too good
Speaker 1: to be true.
Speaker 2: Anyhow, they were going around the neighborhood harassing the sex offenders.
Speaker 1: From the sex offender, that's some of the stuff they
Speaker 1: can engage.
Speaker 2: In out there. It's weird, though, if if if somebody
Speaker 2: comes back and they go, your kids have been bullying
Speaker 2: my husband? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: Have they?
Speaker 2: What did they do? They were bullying my husband? Why
Speaker 2: because he's a sex offender. Oh well, okay, all right,
Speaker 2: quick break. When we come back, we'll get into this
Speaker 2: story about something happening with prisoners and World Cup watch parties.
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that, and I've got clips galore, so we'll
Speaker 2: do that grab bag segment I was talking about.
Speaker 1: It's coming up next on the news.
Speaker 2: Junkie to your feedback emails, recorded messages called dispatches that
Speaker 2: we talk about and all the rest in a moment,
Speaker 2: but I saw something that was happening as of this
Speaker 2: week that I was like, should we really be doing that?
Speaker 2: And it's not even really just should we really be
Speaker 2: doing it? But should we be kind of celebrating it
Speaker 2: like we are? I guess that's my bigger issue. And
Speaker 2: they were talking about how at Rikers Island, which, if
Speaker 2: you don't know, Rikers Island is a prison in New
Speaker 2: York City and it's been kind of a.
Speaker 1: Controversial prison from watching Law and Order.
Speaker 2: Law and Order is featured in I'm sure like Rikers
Speaker 2: Island's a famous prison. It's a very famous prison, and
Speaker 2: there's been claims over the years that it doesn't treat
Speaker 2: the prisoners well enough or.
Speaker 1: Different controversies about it.
Speaker 2: But now there was a story about Rikers hosting a
Speaker 2: watch party for their inmates to be able to watch
Speaker 2: the World Cup because the World Cup has been going
Speaker 2: on and they wanted to make sure that the inmates
Speaker 2: for some reason at the prison had a fun time
Speaker 2: were able to watch the World Cup watch party, and
Speaker 2: on its face, I don't really have a huge issue
Speaker 2: with that, but it went a little further, and I'll
Speaker 2: talk about why I did take issue with it at
Speaker 2: some point on its face. If you want to do
Speaker 2: things like this to reward good behavior among inmates, I
Speaker 2: don't have like a big problem with that. I think
Speaker 2: that's the part when you tease this, I was like, well,
Speaker 2: I mean for prisoner morale or just to kind of
Speaker 2: entice them to not be a jerks all the time,
Speaker 2: that not be violent, not you know, break the rules.
Speaker 4: You kind of need things in place, you know, you
Speaker 4: need goals that they can reach, especially the ones that
Speaker 4: are there for either really long stretches or life. And
Speaker 4: like you said, it could be kind of a rough place.
Speaker 4: So if you incentivize some things to keep the prisoners
Speaker 4: in line, I think that's an overall net positive.
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that. And I understand that that the
Speaker 2: prisons need tools to try to encourage good behavior.
Speaker 1: I totally get that. I totally understand that.
Speaker 2: However, the Mayor of New York, Ziorn Mamdani, he then
Speaker 2: took it a step further, and that's why I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't know about this. He visited rikers and was
Speaker 2: hanging out and watching the World Cup with the prisoners,
Speaker 2: and I'm watching this here. Question. We took the balts
Speaker 2: six to six, you have one. The Mayor of New
Speaker 2: York comes there, He's like, smiling, shaking hands with the prisoners.
Speaker 1: I hope that this shares with.
Speaker 10: People were Inclarson, you're on Rankers, that they who are
Speaker 10: part of New York City. The World Cup has been
Speaker 10: a magical moment for the entire city. These are New
Speaker 10: Yorkers and they will be New Yorkers when they get
Speaker 10: out of Rankers. They're New Yorkers today.
Speaker 1: And yeah right, yeah.
Speaker 2: So he goes in and any parties the Mayor of
Speaker 2: New York City with the prisoners at Rikers Island, would
Speaker 2: you call it parties? I mean hanging out. I'll try
Speaker 2: to be as friendly as I can. I would say
Speaker 2: he's he's in there meeting and greeting and smiling and
Speaker 2: shaking hands with them, these prisoners at Rikers Islands who
Speaker 2: are watching the World Cup. So while I don't have
Speaker 2: a giant problem with you rewarding really good behaved inmates
Speaker 2: with letting them watch the World Cup or having some
Speaker 2: of that stuff accessible, I do have an issue with
Speaker 2: just sauntering in there and saying, hey, you guys are America,
Speaker 2: so you're you're New Yorkers, just like the rest of us,
Speaker 2: want to make sure you get to enjoy the World Cup.
Speaker 2: Like these people are criminals, these du some of them
Speaker 2: are in for raping people, for murdering people.
Speaker 4: For not for nothing, like I You know, I did
Speaker 4: preface this by saying I think it's a good thing
Speaker 4: to incentivize the prisoners. But it's the caption on this
Speaker 4: tweet that I saw before you played the thing was
Speaker 4: not great from Mamdannie ma'm Donnie watches World Cup with
Speaker 4: guy that strangled his girlfriend of death.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true or not.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they figured out who the people
Speaker 2: are in the video, but literally, Rikers is a prison
Speaker 2: where the prisoners are accused of a variety and convicted
Speaker 2: of a variety of very aggressive crimes. Dave says it's
Speaker 2: a jail, not a prison. Is Rikers technically a jail?
Speaker 1: It might be, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Hold on Rikers Island is the site of one of
Speaker 2: the world's largest correctional institutions, New York City, and I'd
Speaker 2: say it contains New York's largest jail. Okay, so I
Speaker 2: guess technically it's a jail. So there, Yeah, sure, it's
Speaker 2: a jail instead of a prison. What's the actual difference
Speaker 2: between the two is the.
Speaker 1: Prison is you go for more than a year.
Speaker 4: It says the facility primarily houses people awaiting trial or
Speaker 4: serving short sentences of one year or less.
Speaker 2: Okay, so Rikers is almost like an in between facility
Speaker 2: before you would be fully sentenced and then you would
Speaker 2: end up going to the prison where you would spend
Speaker 2: a much longer period of time.
Speaker 1: The halfway house in the wrong direction kind of. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So with that said, these people are many of them convicted,
Speaker 2: some of them on trial for incredibly terrible crimes, things
Speaker 2: that you wouldn't want to see the mayor sitting next
Speaker 2: to that person and saying like, you're a New Yorker
Speaker 2: and you really, you know, you deserve to enjoy the
Speaker 2: World Cup at a party like this. So while I
Speaker 2: think that was a fine thing to do, I think
Speaker 2: all the jails, all the prisons, if they want to
Speaker 2: do these kind of things to reward the people, I
Speaker 2: don't think it should be made into like a big
Speaker 2: thing like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we're doing the watch party.
Speaker 2: Like let's not forget that the people in prison are
Speaker 2: mostly very bad people, right, they're mostly very bad people,
Speaker 2: and I, for one, am taking the radical position of
Speaker 2: not being on the side of the criminals. And I
Speaker 2: see so much stuff like that where I go, wait, what, like,
Speaker 2: what even is going on with some of these people?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 2: There was a woman who went viral this week because
Speaker 2: she's an attorney, and she posted a gift of a
Speaker 2: figure skater celebrating and it said I just got a
Speaker 2: life verdict on a death penalty case. She deleted the tweet.
Speaker 2: Eventually she reposted it without the gift. But this woman,
Speaker 2: Beth Burdon, said I just got a life verdict on
Speaker 2: the death penalty case. Somebody said victim was a ninety
Speaker 2: three year old woman had just finished her birthday party,
Speaker 2: was dropped off at her senior facility.
Speaker 1: The murderer was dating her daughter.
Speaker 2: A five five, two hundred and ninety pound middle aged
Speaker 2: man got into the facility. He had been watching older
Speaker 2: adult porn multiple times a day. He sexually abused and
Speaker 2: strangled a woman. They found her naked and dead on
Speaker 2: the floor, and the lawyer is posting cringe boomer slop
Speaker 2: memes for saving his life. What's happening to our country man?
Speaker 2: There is an element of this where I go like, hey,
Speaker 2: we do need to remember that. While you can do
Speaker 2: some things in there to encourage good behavior, I don't
Speaker 2: think we should act like just a bunch of New Yorkers.
Speaker 4: Remember that, Remember that lawyer post I sent you, like
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. I was like flipping through
Speaker 4: Instagram and there was some lawyer bragging about that he
Speaker 4: just got some guy, uh exonerated or got a not
Speaker 4: guilty verdict, and he was he was accused of like
Speaker 4: some stuff with a twelve year old boy. And You're like, buddy,
Speaker 4: or is this the victory lap you think you should
Speaker 4: be taking right now?
Speaker 2: Was that the viral guy who was like the TikTok
Speaker 2: attorney or whatever?
Speaker 1: Was that the dome?
Speaker 4: I think we talked about it right around the same time,
Speaker 4: because I don't know if it was the same guy,
Speaker 4: but it might have been.
Speaker 2: There's been a couple. I just think there's a better
Speaker 2: way to handle that. But let me know what you think.
Speaker 2: Send a dispatch over at the Newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: A couple of emails coming in.
Speaker 2: Anonymous says Sean about the AIDATA centers. Oh god, please,
Speaker 2: I mean the reaction to this is I guess it's
Speaker 2: as predicted. There's a lot of people who get won
Speaker 2: over by these short clips online and then that just
Speaker 2: becomes part of their belief system and.
Speaker 1: They can't go.
Speaker 2: I don't know why people can't do this, can't go like, hey,
Speaker 2: I don't want data centers in your neighborhood unless you
Speaker 2: want them. I don't want data centers competing for the
Speaker 2: power in the kilowatt hours from the same power station
Speaker 2: to drive up your bills. I don't want any of
Speaker 2: these things going on. I'm fundamentally against that. Made that true.
Speaker 2: I made that clear yesterday.
Speaker 1: But then I.
Speaker 2: Said, hey, by the way, if you're arguing against data centers,
Speaker 2: don't use the trope about the water waste, because it's
Speaker 2: really like on the bottom of the list of concerns.
Speaker 2: Then people just melt down over things like this. Jean,
Speaker 2: you're absolutely correct about the water usage. My company builds
Speaker 2: data centers and are in charge of help help keep
Speaker 2: the facility cool. You're correct that the systems that keep
Speaker 2: these facility cools keep these facilities cool are a closed
Speaker 2: loop system. It transfers the heat to water into closed
Speaker 2: loop and that water is transferred to big equipment that
Speaker 2: uses refrigerant and or air to cool the water down,
Speaker 2: then it sends it back to help cool the facility.
Speaker 2: If people claim it uses forty to fifty thousand gallons
Speaker 2: of water to do so, it's very possible. However, it
Speaker 2: also takes fifty to five hundred thousand gallons to cool
Speaker 2: down hospitals and other critical buildings as well. Does that
Speaker 2: mean people are against hospitals to keep up the good work?
Speaker 2: Says this person anonymous, But Anonymous is vested by the
Speaker 2: data center, so he's going to be a little poisonous
Speaker 2: in some way. In this conversation, I was asking a
Speaker 2: couple of questions during the break, and what's funny is
Speaker 2: when you start poking around at this the biggest usage
Speaker 2: of water in the United States of America is obviously
Speaker 2: you know this, not data centers.
Speaker 1: It's agriculture. It's agriculture.
Speaker 2: And one of the biggest uses, like if you take
Speaker 2: the state of California, well let's get rid of the cows,
Speaker 2: Well it's the crops.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the crops. And in particular it was
Speaker 1: and what are the crops doing people right now? Sean
Speaker 1: explosive diarrhea.
Speaker 2: They are the whole country is turn off the water supply, crime, smoke,
Speaker 2: there's let us trying to get you. Everything out there
Speaker 2: is trying to get you right now. But but yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, when I look at this stuff, I say,
Speaker 2: how big of a problem is? Is what's the real
Speaker 2: issue at the heart of this? And in terms of California,
Speaker 2: they're crops. I think it's like fifteen to twenty percent
Speaker 2: of the water usage or maybe even more in some
Speaker 2: cases is on these crops. Some of it's on what
Speaker 2: was the crop I was saying during the break when
Speaker 2: the almonds are the almond crops are one of the
Speaker 2: biggest users of water in the state of California, for example.
Speaker 2: But nobody's raging against the almond corporations and the almond
Speaker 2: milk industry. And you know, big Almond, big Pistachio is
Speaker 2: coming after them.
Speaker 1: But they've probably used a lot too. So are you
Speaker 1: cash the check?
Speaker 2: So it's fine suggestion now that I'm getting these paychecks
Speaker 2: from the big data centers, My suggestion is that you
Speaker 2: focus your arguments on the things that will hold up
Speaker 2: to scrutiny. And the water that you here used is
Speaker 2: circulated throughout these facilities. So while it seems like a
Speaker 2: big number. It's not actually as bad in the long
Speaker 2: term as many people have been convinced to believe. That's
Speaker 2: a pretty like reasonable stance to have, but you know,
Speaker 2: the reaction is interesting. Uh, okay, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: people emailing. I'll try to get some more of these
Speaker 2: on before the end of the show. So we'll come
Speaker 2: back finally for once in a blue moon with a
Speaker 2: big last segment of the show. We're going to do
Speaker 2: final dispatches, stories that didn't make the cut, and of
Speaker 2: course today I learned to wrap everything up for a
Speaker 2: Thursday that's coming up next on The News Junkie.
Speaker 1: It's been a blast. It's been a good.
Speaker 2: Time, a good ish time, and we're gonna do all
Speaker 2: the rest of this stuff to close up shop here
Speaker 2: on a Thursday. I'm not it's been a real good time.
Speaker 2: It's good good it's been an okay time, great time.
Speaker 2: We have had an okay time, and you can still
Speaker 2: hang out with us.
Speaker 1: Before the end of the show.
Speaker 2: Tips at the news Junkie dot coms where you send
Speaker 2: your emails or send your dispatches over on the website
Speaker 2: of the app, and I promise we get into a
Speaker 2: little bit more of those. Let's see what else we
Speaker 2: can do. Another clip I saw making the rounds today
Speaker 2: was I guess Mike Tyson was at the sb's and
Speaker 2: they were giving some award out. Uh, here he is
Speaker 2: and in sbe goes to check this out show any
Speaker 2: First of all, I know why he said check this
Speaker 2: out because Mike Tyson had been practicing how to say
Speaker 2: show hey, ohay, hey yeah.
Speaker 1: And then then they're like, all right, show hey could
Speaker 1: not be here tonight.
Speaker 8: He sends his gratitude and appreciation at ESPN and everyone
Speaker 8: who voted for him.
Speaker 2: Mike goes, he's a guy I got wait, show is
Speaker 2: a guy he didn't even know.
Speaker 1: Gotta love Mike Tyson. What a character that guy is.
Speaker 1: I had a friend of those things.
Speaker 4: Friend that's overseas, celebrating his birthday and he just went
Speaker 4: out and just dropped a whole crapload of money on
Speaker 4: like expensive stuff. And he went to the store called
Speaker 4: Kith k I t H don't know what they sell
Speaker 4: their probably high end stuff. But every time he took
Speaker 4: a picture of Kith, I just wanted to find that
Speaker 4: gift of Mike Tyson going.
Speaker 2: Now Kith, all right, let's see here on the way out,
Speaker 2: maybe a couple of Emailsobby sends an email and Bobby says,
Speaker 2: she's talking about the AI stuff.
Speaker 1: Because that triggered a bunch of people.
Speaker 2: She says, a single mid to large hyperscale data center
Speaker 2: can consume between one million and five million gallons of
Speaker 2: water a day, the equivalent daily uses of a town
Speaker 2: ten thousand to fifty thousand people. This is exactly what
Speaker 2: I'm talking about, though, This is this is literally what
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. The water is recycled through the process.
Speaker 2: I can't say it any more times than I already have.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to keep repeating myself. But the water
Speaker 2: is recycled through the process to cool things. It's like
Speaker 2: it's like saying you had a giant car engine and
Speaker 2: then you talked about how much water was going through
Speaker 2: there through the radiator. He said, oh my god, it's
Speaker 2: like this much per day through the radiator, and they go, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: the radiator is that large. And then it just circulates
Speaker 2: the water through the system. So it does take water
Speaker 2: out of the system one time to fill up the
Speaker 2: system and you know all that stuff, but then it
Speaker 2: just circulates it through there. That's how most of them
Speaker 2: work at this point in time. And it's also not
Speaker 2: anywhere near one to five million gallons per water.
Speaker 1: For a lot of these data facilities.
Speaker 2: Again, you're making me sound like I'm pro data center
Speaker 2: or something after I see so many people hooked.
Speaker 1: Up on this. But enjoy yourself with that, have fun
Speaker 1: and you know, go for it. That's why you had
Speaker 1: a good ish time. I did have a good ish time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's all I could have today.
Speaker 2: I had a good ish time which was supported by
Speaker 2: all the folks who gifted secret shows today. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much for that. That that made it all good.
Speaker 2: Finish like three dummies. The dummies email all the time.
Speaker 2: That's okay, but I appreciate the other folks, the supporters
Speaker 2: out there, Thank you so much for that. We have
Speaker 2: a secret show tonight at eight pm eight pm Eastern.
Speaker 2: You can watch over on the neewsjunki dot com if
Speaker 2: you're a subscriber. If you're not, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Get involved to go over to
Speaker 2: the Newsjunkie dot com right now.
Speaker 1: All right, that'll do.
Speaker 2: We have time for a dispatcher now, yeah, we dospatches, but.
Speaker 1: Sean, I promise that Odessey movie I think is going
Speaker 1: to do really good. I think so too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the record, people seem to be reviewing that
Speaker 2: thing like it's the greatest movie in the world.
Speaker 1: So we'll see how it works out.
Speaker 2: Here is uh Anonymous with a dispatch about the old man.
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, what's going on this afternoon? Just a quickie
Speaker 11: on the old man and the basketball kids. Quickly, he's
Speaker 11: so proud that he has these videos of the the
Speaker 11: kids playing with the balls and the balls obviously flying
Speaker 11: over his fence, and he wants to show the cops
Speaker 11: and they kind of like they don't care about the videos.
Speaker 11: Sure they should actually care about the videos. Go over
Speaker 11: to the video. Watch it with the man seeing the
Speaker 11: kids playing with the balls, and when the balls go
Speaker 11: on the guys wan freeze it. Take a screenshot, see
Speaker 11: if that's the ball that's in the man's hand. Now,
Speaker 11: if he can't produce a receipt him for Anonymous.
Speaker 2: This this feels like the same kind of debate as
Speaker 2: the Ai Waters thing. It feels like it was obvious
Speaker 2: to everybody in the world that the basketball came from
Speaker 2: the kid's house. Everybody knew where the basketball came from
Speaker 2: the guy was just being annoying, so we could just
Speaker 2: ignore the guy being annoying, I think, and that's what
Speaker 2: his neighbors are probably trying to do.
Speaker 1: Let's do today.
Speaker 2: I learned the following information may make you feel smarter,
Speaker 2: but will not actually increase your IQ.
Speaker 1: So don't get cocky.
Speaker 2: How it's done what.
Speaker 1: We call today.
Speaker 2: It is tailor for a Thursday, July sixteenth, twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2: Learn there's a legal loophole in quotes in Yellowstone where
Speaker 2: you could theoretically get away with murder because there's no jury.
Speaker 2: There's no jury in the Yellowstone area. However, I just
Speaker 2: I don't think it works that way. I can't read
Speaker 2: much more. I just don't think it works that way. Today,
Speaker 2: learn this band right here, the verve. The verb is correct,
Speaker 2: that's right, the verb. They only made about one thousand
Speaker 2: dollars from this song, Bittersweet Symphony because of a big,
Speaker 2: fat copyright issue you may may have heard of with
Speaker 2: the Rolling Stones. The Rolling Stones actually ended up with
Speaker 2: the rights to it after a court battle, but they
Speaker 2: returned them because they felt bad in twenty nineteen, so
Speaker 2: that the people from the verve could make a little
Speaker 2: bit of money. Thank you so much for hanging out
