Speaker 1: we're both a little hectic today. It is one of those.
Speaker 2: You had, like a kind of a busy morning. I was,
Speaker 2: I was running slightly behind, and then I had this
Speaker 2: really awkward, uh, get out to my driveway moment, because what.
Speaker 1: Do you mean, like like your wife said, get out
Speaker 1: of the house. Gone. No.
Speaker 2: Today in my neighborhood is yardway today, which is not
Speaker 2: not a day that I typically take part in. Like
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of waste that I aside
Speaker 2: from my trash business.
Speaker 1: Down up perfect yard everybody.
Speaker 2: That's definitely not true. But we did some work over
Speaker 2: the weekend because we you know, we had some crazy
Speaker 2: weather last week that took out like some large tree branches,
Speaker 2: so I got to get a chainsaw on my hands,
Speaker 2: you know, like fun stuff.
Speaker 1: My god, I don't have this giant pile of crap
Speaker 1: at the end of my driveway, like I never have
Speaker 1: anything out there, and now I have a gigantic pile.
Speaker 1: And as I'm walking out to my car, they were
Speaker 1: backing it in to load it all, and I that pinned.
Speaker 1: I know it's their job, but now I have to
Speaker 1: actively sit there and watch them do my bidding. Did
Speaker 1: you trash trash? Did you say listen trash people, big
Speaker 1: radio star here on the way to kick off the
Speaker 1: news junkie radio show for a lovely day here, So
Speaker 1: maybe get out of my way, you absolute prs. This
Speaker 1: is the way he talks, not Me's me talk like
Speaker 1: that at all. I felt really bad that I had
Speaker 1: like the biggest pile on the block for them. Sorry, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: Maybe they thought it was impressive. Let's put our ears
Speaker 1: to the ground, our fingers on the pulse, let's see
Speaker 1: what's happening to this great, big, wide world of ours.
Speaker 1: And we go to a baseball game going viral, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you my alarm bells, folks are going
Speaker 1: off on this. My alarm bells are going off in
Speaker 1: a pretty significant way, just because I think, could someone
Speaker 1: be this dumb? However, I always remind myself, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. There's a lot of dumb people we
Speaker 1: see on the internet every day. You see them, I
Speaker 1: see them. We know that they absolutely exist, so maybe
Speaker 1: this is indeed real. Here's what happened at the little
Speaker 1: league game. I'll explain. As the pitch comes in, I
Speaker 1: walk away from it all right. As you might have
Speaker 1: seen if you're watching over on YouTube dot com Slash
Speaker 1: the news junkie, the catcher for the this litle league game,
Speaker 1: took a shot right to the crotched. Yeah, yeah, right
Speaker 1: right into the crotch, and he doubles over. And some
Speaker 1: of you know exactly what I'm talking about. This is inerts.
Speaker 1: It's tough, and it takes a little while to recover
Speaker 1: from this. I've never taken a baseball, but uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I I you remember, like other times getting hit in
Speaker 1: the nuts, there's like usually just a pregnant pause right
Speaker 1: before the pain hits you. Then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: it just unloads. Yeah, and this guy, the umpire gets
Speaker 1: hit right in the crotch in this first shot that
Speaker 1: comes through. All right. It's a little bit later in
Speaker 1: the game again, right in the crotch, same game, same umpire,
Speaker 1: right there in the in the spot you don't want
Speaker 1: it to happen. We're watching a sterilization on YouTube. Is
Speaker 1: this little kid like, is this guy dating the pitcher's mother?
Speaker 1: The little kid who's pitching at the mound, He's like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to date my mom, Randy. Here's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: That's two. Now to the crotch, all right, doubled over hurting.
Speaker 1: This one really took him out, because the second shot
Speaker 1: to the jewels is gonna take a little while to
Speaker 1: recover from. But we're not done, folks. Now the ump
Speaker 1: even seems a little hesitant behind the plate. They settling
Speaker 1: and why not? Of course? Yeah, he's got his hands
Speaker 1: on his hips. I might have them somewhere else, maybe
Speaker 1: just a little more protectively placed. But here comes another
Speaker 1: pitch right to the crotch again. I've brought count. That's three.
Speaker 1: This time the ump doubles over and the parents have
Speaker 1: to uh to approach home play because this guy got
Speaker 1: hit three times. I don't know, I mean, is that possible?
Speaker 1: Three times you get hit in the in the crowd?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Does that mean his balls are out? I like, you
Speaker 1: mean not? You just have a cup on? Is that
Speaker 1: what you're suggesting? Oh, I'm in free strikes, like I
Speaker 1: don't know. I only know I'm never doing this job.
Speaker 1: I'm never ever taking this gig on I. They wear
Speaker 1: a cup, right, I would expect, unless I would have,
Speaker 1: I mean, after the second shot to the nuts, I
Speaker 1: think I would have like maybe kind of looked around
Speaker 1: and like, does anybody have a cup I can borrow?
Speaker 2: Which is not usually a thing you borrow from another man,
Speaker 2: but in this, in this case, it seems like he's
Speaker 2: got a target between his.
Speaker 1: Legs after the second shot. I would absolutely entertain even
Speaker 1: borrowing an athletic supporter from another person. At some point,
Speaker 1: you got to do something about this. Although it is funny,
Speaker 1: it brings me back to when you would play these
Speaker 1: sports in your youth, and there was something at that time,
Speaker 1: a really toxic thing actually, where young guys would be like,
Speaker 1: I'm not wearing a cup. That's lame, man, I'm not
Speaker 1: wearing a cup. And he'd be like, oh, you're well,
Speaker 1: hold on, you're too cool to wear a cup. Wearing
Speaker 1: a cup is cool? Was it because it was lame
Speaker 1: or because it was uncomfortable? Both? It was a combo
Speaker 1: with it. Both you're like, it's not stupid.
Speaker 2: I never found it to be that lame, but there
Speaker 2: was definitely like an adjustment period, and then there was
Speaker 2: a couple There was a couple of times in the
Speaker 2: getting used to wearing a cup adjustment period that I
Speaker 2: would be doing the karate.
Speaker 1: I mean, you'd be doing the sidekicks and then.
Speaker 2: The punch, and then all of a sudden, I feel
Speaker 2: my cup is has come loose of the jockstrap and
Speaker 2: is trying to make its way down my pant leg.
Speaker 1: It's dangerous. Like we're on I need to go somewhere,
Speaker 1: so we're not like I'm taking a lap and my
Speaker 1: cup just drops out of the leg. To our umpires
Speaker 1: and referees listening to the show today, we invite you
Speaker 1: in is this a common occurrence? Are you wearing a cup?
Speaker 1: What is the you know, what is the situation that
Speaker 1: you're facing If you're this guy, poor gentleman is going
Speaker 1: very viral today, but I don't envy him in that moment.
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. Send a dispatch over
Speaker 1: at the Newsjunkie dot com or an email tips at
Speaker 1: the Neewsjunkie dot com. Right now, we find ourselves in
Speaker 1: a really interesting situation with this Mitch McConnell's story that
Speaker 1: I just I want to ask you a little twist
Speaker 1: on this folks today, you in particular, I want to
Speaker 1: ask you what you think about this, because Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: has been mi IA for like a month in Washington, right,
Speaker 1: and he's totally off the grid. There's these emergency calls
Speaker 1: from his house. Mitch McConnell says, I'm fine, And at
Speaker 1: first he reaches out to somebody who was an employee
Speaker 1: over at CNN, to the on air talents at CNN,
Speaker 1: and he says they had a conversation, He's good to go.
Speaker 1: And then he talked to another elected official as well,
Speaker 1: John Thune. I think he talked too, but he didn't do.
Speaker 1: What I said was just like, hey, why don't you
Speaker 1: just call the TV station live and prove that you're
Speaker 1: breathing right now, that you're alive. It's been a month,
Speaker 1: there's like all this speculation that you're dying. And then,
Speaker 1: like we mentioned yesterday, CNN further clarified that that was
Speaker 1: in fact just a story that their guy told and
Speaker 1: not official CNN reporting. They wouldn't even stand by that. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what a piece of s move that they didn't like
Speaker 1: their own reporting, I guess on the topic. But then
Speaker 1: I see this is the Washington Post today and it
Speaker 1: says Mitch McConnell took a photo with that day's newspaper.
Speaker 1: The internet has questions and it shows the proof of
Speaker 1: life photo from Mitch McConnell and his wife in the
Speaker 1: hospital and he's got like sort of casually laid over
Speaker 1: his leg the newspaper from that morning, and it's sort
Speaker 1: of a proof of life thing. And the question I
Speaker 1: started to ask myself is is there any one hundred
Speaker 1: percent legitimate way to prove that you are real and
Speaker 1: live and alive in twenty twenty six? Is there any way,
Speaker 1: like if there was somebody, let's say, there was something
Speaker 1: crazy somebody who was in the past reported dead, Elvis Presley,
Speaker 1: if you will, and Elvis Presley pops up and goes,
Speaker 1: folks a lot about my death and he says, I've
Speaker 1: been alive the whole time. How in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: is there a way you can undeniably prove that you
Speaker 1: are alive in breathing in that moment Because the newspaper
Speaker 1: didn't cut it, he put out the newspaper picture and
Speaker 1: people were like, no, uh huh. See Anon, a mouse
Speaker 1: on TJ Chat says you could totally make that pick
Speaker 1: with AI, and that's what they said. That's what these
Speaker 1: people ended up saying, It says. On Monday night, The
Speaker 1: Post review to copy of the original foot provided by
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell's office at the Post request and found that
Speaker 1: its metadata appears the show it was taken. Sunday, an
Speaker 1: independent digital forends it's expert says, there appear to be
Speaker 1: no evidence that the image is fake. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because people saw it and they go,
Speaker 1: did they think this shows that Mitch McConnell is alive
Speaker 1: right now? No, they thought, I can't believe things that
Speaker 1: my I see anymore. AI could easily recreate that photograph.
Speaker 1: AI could easily say and Washington Post put the paper
Speaker 1: in my hand, and that doesn't prove you're really alive.
Speaker 2: And it's actually getting easier by the minute for AI
Speaker 2: to recreate it because so many people are loading it
Speaker 2: into AI and having Mitch McConnell hop out of the
Speaker 2: bed and do jumping jacks or or any number of
Speaker 2: break dancing moves. Just some shoot really great, Oh come
Speaker 2: on when don't show that, but do show this? Hang on,
Speaker 2: this is what Sealan's talking about. Here's an example.
Speaker 1: Time to get back in shape. Okay, for those of
Speaker 1: you listening along, Mitch McConnell. In this video, the photo
Speaker 1: comes to life. He gets right out of the chair
Speaker 1: in the hospital. He's got a six pack. He picks
Speaker 1: up some dumbbells and starts lifting and there you go.
Speaker 1: But Bootsy says over on Twitch, I think it's a
Speaker 1: real photo. People are still very split on whether they
Speaker 1: believe it or not. So I ask you this question
Speaker 1: today on the show. Is there a way you can absolutely,
Speaker 1: without doubt, prove that you're alive in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: something that people wouldn't react to and say, Nope, that's
Speaker 1: a photograph, it's fake. Well, but he's got the newspaper
Speaker 1: from today. It doesn't matter. AI could put the newspaper
Speaker 1: from today in my hands to prove that I'm alive. Well,
Speaker 1: what if I start a stream? If I'm in the
Speaker 1: studio and I start a stream and I say the date,
Speaker 1: does that really prove that I'm alive in that moment?
Speaker 1: I Mean, the only thing I can think of is
Speaker 1: if I was to start a broadcast at a live
Speaker 1: baseball game, and you could see that the live baseball
Speaker 1: game was also going onto the background, and you could
Speaker 1: confirm by watching the broadcast of the live baseball game
Speaker 1: and me and my live broadcast to see the people
Speaker 1: on band. Dude, you could still fake that. How do
Speaker 1: you prove that you're absolutely alive in twenty six I
Speaker 1: think you.
Speaker 2: Know it's hard to prove to the broader audience. But
Speaker 2: if I just needed to prove to you the mission
Speaker 2: McConnell was alive, I could just bring him into your
Speaker 2: studio and have him smack you in the face.
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna be well, yeah, that I would believe that.
Speaker 1: I would believe he came in my studio and slap
Speaker 1: me in the face. I'd be like, that's Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 1: The technology is not good enough that he could be
Speaker 1: a robot and pass off as a human. Right yet?
Speaker 1: Mind you yet see already people on YouTube. Jego says,
Speaker 1: Sean is not real? I am, though, but how do
Speaker 1: I prove it? Right now? How do here? My phone
Speaker 1: says the date and the day and the time. But
Speaker 1: does that good?
Speaker 2: You could do something in real time? It would it
Speaker 2: would have to be something really drastic, like that couple
Speaker 2: that climbed up the Empire State Building right there. It's
Speaker 2: like seven TV channels, there was helicopters, there was everything
Speaker 2: pointed cameras at these people.
Speaker 1: They were no doubt alive. That was sure. But that's
Speaker 1: so much effort. I can't do that. I can't pull
Speaker 1: it off. Like a couple that. I don't say you
Speaker 1: can climb anything. I can't. I just can't pull it
Speaker 1: off if if I have to do something that elaborate.
Speaker 1: But here's another example. Media Ie has this headline Nobody's
Speaker 1: buying this, TMZ joins critics casting doubt on the Mitch
Speaker 1: McConnell photo. So TMZ wants clicks. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: that I would see them as respectable in this at all.
Speaker 1: But I will absolutely tell you, like, this is an
Speaker 1: outlet coming out and they're going nobody's buying this, nobody
Speaker 1: thinks this is real. So I said, well, he put
Speaker 1: a photo out there. I said that he should just
Speaker 1: call into Fox News because we would identify his voice
Speaker 1: and we would see him having a real interaction with
Speaker 1: the anchor or hear it at least, and maybe that
Speaker 1: would prove. But that's what I want to ask you today.
Speaker 1: How do you do it? What's the absolutely rock solid
Speaker 1: way to prove with all the AI out there that
Speaker 1: you're alive in twenty twenty six. Let us know what
Speaker 1: you think. Over on thenewsjunkie dot com a couple of
Speaker 1: emails to get us started here today, Eric emails the show.
Speaker 1: He says, good afternoon, junkies, Hello, Eric, how are you Sean?
Speaker 1: I got to say, when it comes to team politics,
Speaker 1: you are one hundred percent right. Somebody wanted somebody once said,
Speaker 1: if you want fair elections, get rid of the R
Speaker 1: and D next of people's names on the ballot and
Speaker 1: people will know the individual. And I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 1: Team politics is the problem with your solution of paying
Speaker 1: through the nose for senators and congressman. They're already paid
Speaker 1: much better than the national average, so it's a good
Speaker 1: paying job. And can you name me a senator that
Speaker 1: doesn't come out as a millionaire no matter how much
Speaker 1: money they had going in. Well, a lot of the
Speaker 1: people who become rich through politics become rich through politics
Speaker 1: because they stay around for decades and decades and decades
Speaker 1: and on and on. They go so that kind of
Speaker 1: goes to my point. But the problem is the team
Speaker 1: sports that choose the next candidate. It's nearly impossible to
Speaker 1: be an upstart out of nowhere and get anywhere in
Speaker 1: American politics because of all the campaign finance issues. You
Speaker 1: have to choose a side anyhow, That's my take. Have
Speaker 1: a great day, says Eric. Thank you. Eric. Lindsey emails
Speaker 1: the show. Hey, guys, listening to Monday's podcast, and you
Speaker 1: guys were talking about how Lindsey Graham died and all
Speaker 1: the conspiracies around Aron in Russia maybe being responsible for this.
Speaker 1: Well everybody was saying that made my mind go the
Speaker 1: other way. I think, and hear me out on this.
Speaker 1: I think that it was Israel, says the emailer who
Speaker 1: took out Lindsey Graham. Now keep in mind the doctors
Speaker 1: say he had some sort of heart issue and that's
Speaker 1: what they claim took them out. I just think the
Speaker 1: health of these senator is a strange coincidence, very very
Speaker 1: close in time. Who knows what's going on here. The
Speaker 1: one thing they want is to have the US long
Speaker 1: term involved in this Iran conflict. The best way to
Speaker 1: do that is to pull it. Trump's heart strings. You
Speaker 1: kill his friend and make it look like it was
Speaker 1: the Iranians that did it. That'll keep them engaged. Love
Speaker 1: the show, says Andre, Thank you Andre, And finally talking
Speaker 1: about Key Wes, Jeremy says, there are two Key West
Speaker 1: experiences walking around kind of sucks. However, it's a ten
Speaker 1: out of ten on a scooter. Choose that experience. Deep
Speaker 1: fried key lime Pie, by the way, is way better
Speaker 1: than actual key Lime Pie. I enjoyed hanging out with
Speaker 1: the polydactyl six toad cats at the Hemingway House. You
Speaker 1: could just hang out there like you own the joint.
Speaker 1: Keep up the work, JJ, thank you for the email
Speaker 1: that opens the door for you to join us on
Speaker 1: the show today. Tips tips at the newsjunki dot com.
Speaker 1: You can email the show if you want to be anonymous.
Speaker 1: Put that right on top. Get the emails, the dispatches,
Speaker 1: and so much more. Fired Up, We got a couple
Speaker 1: of pick asides for you. We got a lot of
Speaker 1: big news to get into over the course of the show.
Speaker 1: Freddie is back. He really enthralled the United States by
Speaker 1: being enthralled by the United States as he was touring
Speaker 1: the country and just so excited about everything here in America.
Speaker 1: Then he got canceled. The stuck him. They tried to
Speaker 1: get rid of him. They tried to say, look what
Speaker 1: Freddie said. It's controversial, and they're whining about this online,
Speaker 1: and I said, screw this. This guy seems like a
Speaker 1: nice dude. But he's back. We'll tell you what's happening
Speaker 1: with him now. And the theory I have about Freddie,
Speaker 1: the viral World Cup guy that's coming up next on
Speaker 1: the news Chunky, I know some of you are still
Speaker 1: not won over by the World Cup people. I think
Speaker 1: people getting to know more about the world and the
Speaker 1: world getting to know more about the United States of
Speaker 1: America is a good thing. Why Because we're good, you know,
Speaker 1: we're good people. We're doing a good job. We're not perfect.
Speaker 1: Nobody's perfect, no culture is perfect, but we're trying and
Speaker 1: we're doing a good job I think in the United
Speaker 1: States of America. So the world seeing that could be
Speaker 1: a very positive thing. They don't always see that reflected
Speaker 1: in the media that they take in, and it's been
Speaker 1: really cool to see some people react to that, like
Speaker 1: that guy Freddie from x dot Com, slash Twitter, whatever
Speaker 1: you'd like to call it. These days and Freddie, if
Speaker 1: you didn't catch on, was this German guy and nobody
Speaker 1: knew what he looked like or anything. But he was
Speaker 1: touring the United States and posting about his experience, and
Speaker 1: he was so won over by America. Not big cities
Speaker 1: in Times Square, but like small town America, going through
Speaker 1: these smaller towns, meeting the people that he said were
Speaker 1: so friendly, having the food that they are all bowled
Speaker 1: over by all these World Cup people bowled over by
Speaker 1: and spending their money in the United States of America
Speaker 1: until Freddie got canceled. And you know, now Freddie's back
Speaker 1: quote unquote, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well we'll get into that
Speaker 1: whole drama a second, but just so you guys know,
Speaker 1: people like this Freddie guy who's gone very viral and
Speaker 1: all these other tourists that come over to the United States,
Speaker 1: they're spending a lot of money, a lot of money
Speaker 1: in our country. Here's an example of this. Let me see,
Speaker 1: I hope I could play this. He let's stay by
Speaker 1: the dump button just in case the Calshey people went
Speaker 1: around and asked the tourists how much money did you
Speaker 1: spend for your World Cup vacation in the United States?
Speaker 1: It was way more than I thought. You have any
Speaker 1: guesses on your side sea land, but there were one
Speaker 1: big vacation. They're big long vacation. We know that a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks at least three grand okay, three thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: that's about what the keys is going to cost. Just
Speaker 1: for the record. But let's see how much Calshi finds
Speaker 1: these people are spend much if you spend on your

Speaker 2: this one says it's averaging nineteen hundred to night right now.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, that is expensive and they are staying for
Speaker 1: a long time. MFQ on YouTube says, this sounds like
Speaker 1: too much. Well, hell yeah, it does. Of course, it
Speaker 1: sounds like too much. Even the guy who's like twenty
Speaker 1: five thirty thousand dollars, that's so much money, my god.
Speaker 1: So there they are. They're spending a lot of cash
Speaker 1: over here. And this guy, Freddy came over from Germany
Speaker 1: and he was just amazed at how things were in
Speaker 1: small town Georgia, going through Alabama into Mississippi. He was
Speaker 1: having a blast. And then people on the internet that
Speaker 1: are super political losers again, rig yourself of the most
Speaker 1: annoying people on the planet. By just ignoring the super
Speaker 1: political people, you'll feel a whole lot better afterwards, I
Speaker 1: guarantee it. Freddie comes to the United States, chronicles his
Speaker 1: whole plan, and these losers start combing through all of
Speaker 1: his posts. They find a post that they find to
Speaker 1: be controversial. It wasn't controversial at all. It was something
Speaker 1: like being judging somebody on the basis of the color
Speaker 1: of their skin is discriminatory by nature. So discriminating somebody
Speaker 1: who's white based on the color of their white skin
Speaker 1: is also discriminatory by nature. Something like that. That was
Speaker 1: the essence of the post, which is just plainly true,
Speaker 1: and everybody with the brain knows it. But people tried
Speaker 1: to do the cancel thing forgetting its twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: and we're kind of over some of that. But Freddie
Speaker 1: is back. He shut down all his accounts. Now he's back,
Speaker 1: and I have a theory. Freddie says, hello again. We're
Speaker 1: currently in Clemson, South Carolina. I've just to come back
Speaker 1: here to document the final part of our road trip.
Speaker 1: The mean reason, the main reason I deactivated my account
Speaker 1: two weeks ago is that things became increasingly toxic for
Speaker 1: some people. It's unfortunately unfathomable that a good story can
Speaker 1: exist without some kind of hidden agenda behind it. There
Speaker 1: was even a Reddit group going through my entire account
Speaker 1: trying to find anything they could to reveal my identity.
Speaker 1: Typical Reddit behavior, You Reddit folks, not all of you,
Speaker 1: not all of you, but you know who I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Some of you over there, They go, Oh, is somebody
Speaker 1: having a good time here? Let's fire up the good
Speaker 1: time siren and put a stop to this right now, please,
Speaker 1: For God's sake, I decided to continue, Freddy says because
Speaker 1: I realized the overwhelming majority of people loved following along.
Speaker 1: A small group of very loud people shouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to ruin something that brought so many others joy pause, clap, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: a small group of people should not be able to
Speaker 1: ruin everybody else's time. Oh my god, just take that
Speaker 1: in for a second, like this is this can explain
Speaker 1: so many things that happen in our society right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a small group of very loud people shouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to ruin something that brought so many others Joyce. So
Speaker 1: he's back. But I also want to clear something up
Speaker 1: as people who follow me on Instagram already know I've
Speaker 1: been to the United States before. This is not my
Speaker 1: first visit, and I never claimed that it was. The
Speaker 1: last time I was here was in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: when I visited New York and Philadelphia. A lot of
Speaker 1: people shared my raising canes posts from November twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five to make it look like I was secretly an American.
Speaker 1: That post wasn't from the United States. It was from
Speaker 1: my trip to Saudi Arabia. So they're trying to raising
Speaker 1: canes in Saudi Arabia. I guess I didn't know that
Speaker 1: until right now. They said, let me tell you, Ohio
Speaker 1: and Alabama are very different from New York City or
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. True, Freddy, if you have any questions, feel
Speaker 1: free to ask. Thanks for reading, and he's back in
Speaker 1: the United States for the last bit of the World Cup.
Speaker 1: My theory, I don't know if this is true. I
Speaker 1: think Freddye of World Cup tweeting fame might have a
Speaker 1: camera crew with him. He has not revealed his face
Speaker 1: in any of these photographs. Yet He's been treated like
Speaker 1: a king. He's been offered flights to make it to
Speaker 1: games by every major corporation possible. He got to tour
Speaker 1: the spacecraft that just went around the Moon. He got
Speaker 1: to get inside it. They gave him a phone and
Speaker 1: he got to FaceTime that astronauts on the space station live.
Speaker 1: The guy has been VIP but anonymous at the same time.
Speaker 1: I think somebody might be filming him for a documentary.
Speaker 1: That's my guess. I think he's back and I think
Speaker 1: he might have cameras with him this time. That's what
Speaker 1: my guess is as to what's happening here. But Freddy's
Speaker 1: bad to him with him before. I don't know because
Speaker 1: he has never showed his face. He has never showed
Speaker 1: his face in this mix.
Speaker 6: It.
Speaker 2: Even in the clip where he was facetiming the astronaut,
Speaker 2: we didn't see his face.
Speaker 1: No, no, they like they framed everything around that and
Speaker 1: did not reveal where he was boots. He agrees Freddy's
Speaker 1: in audi he's filming a documentary. I think that's what's
Speaker 1: happening here. I think he's like, let me really strike
Speaker 1: while the iron is hot, and let me do a
Speaker 1: documentary about loving America, getting to discover the real America,
Speaker 1: getting to discover small town America, and people will eat
Speaker 1: that up. I think that's my guest. That's what I
Speaker 1: think is going on here. But you can tell us
Speaker 1: what you think. Send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com, by.
Speaker 2: The way to kind of recap one of the things
Speaker 2: we were talking about just a second ago. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: looking at the rates at the Four Seasons Hotel in
Speaker 2: New York. Yeah, and Saturday night and Sunday night. I
Speaker 2: think maybe possibly World Cup related. They are completely sold out.
Speaker 2: But if I wanted to just stay there, if I
Speaker 2: wanted to stay there Friday night, there are two sweets available.
Speaker 1: How much are the sweets? They're more than two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: One of them is one of the junior suites Sweet.
Speaker 1: The Sweet rate is forty nine to ninety five for
Speaker 1: the night, or two hundred extra dollars if I want
Speaker 1: breakfast in bed. I've got to pay for breakfast in
Speaker 1: bed after paying five grand for the night.
Speaker 2: They want two hundred extra dollars for room service for
Speaker 2: the Now here's the other suite. Now, tell me, tell
Speaker 2: me what you think. Right, this is the not so
Speaker 2: junior Sweet ceiling right, this is the Taie Warner Penthouse.
Speaker 1: All right, it's forty three hundred square feet. It is
Speaker 1: on the fifty second floor, which means three hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty degree view of the city uptown, downtown, Midtown. Your
Speaker 1: Castle in the clouds four glass balconies set on a
Speaker 1: diagonal to the north south east west grid of Manhattan,
Speaker 1: capturing distinctive views. Oversized single pane windows, glass railings ensure
Speaker 1: your sight line is uninterrupted. Oh my god, this sounds nice.
Speaker 1: That would pay that would take you just for to
Speaker 1: stay there one night this Friday, eighty thousand dollars. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, do they still charge you for the breakfast bride?
Speaker 1: I hope not. That would be preposterous. It would be,
Speaker 1: but I don't think I'd put it past them.
Speaker 2: I would if I would leave so many one star
Speaker 2: reviews on every website that I could find, and then
Speaker 2: I would make a new website that reviews stuff just
Speaker 2: to give them more one star reviews.

Speaker 1: to see big support for the show today quick break
Speaker 1: when we come back, I have an update on a
Speaker 1: story we've been talking about. I did not expect that
Speaker 1: we would get this update, but we have it for you.
Speaker 1: We also have an announcement in the Power Hour coming
Speaker 1: up later on today, an announcement about the show that's
Speaker 1: coming up in a bit and a whole lot more,
Speaker 1: and Saul coming up next on the News Junkie. I
Speaker 1: have a question for you. It's an update on a
Speaker 1: story we talked about and I wasn't expecting to see
Speaker 1: this today, but I'm interested in your take on this. Seelan.
Speaker 1: If you're on a flight when you're sitting usually said,
Speaker 1: I would imagine next to your wife, right, I would imagine, yeah,
Speaker 1: sit next to each other, unless there's some bizarre reason
Speaker 1: why you should be separated from one another on this flight.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we've ever been separated on a flight.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, we usually booked together once in a while.
Speaker 2: If there has been times where we've gotten a whole
Speaker 2: row and we've left like the middle seat empty, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: because either she'll put up her legs or she just
Speaker 2: wants the space for stuff.
Speaker 1: Does she have a lockdown on one seat or another?
Speaker 1: From my experience, courtey is going to sit on the
Speaker 1: aisle seat. I am No matter what I'm I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna get the aisle seat. I'm I'm probably not gonna
Speaker 1: get the window seat either. She's one hundred percent not
Speaker 1: sitting in the middle, So I have to sit in
Speaker 1: the middle. I have to sit in the middle. Every
Speaker 1: single time, she'll go, I want to send in the aisle.
Speaker 1: What if I have to use the restroom and it's convenient.
Speaker 1: You don't want to interact with the flight attendant anyway.
Speaker 1: She'll she'll make it sound like it's something I want,
Speaker 1: But she always wants to sit on one seat or
Speaker 1: the other.
Speaker 2: I think she usually like actually usually defers to me
Speaker 2: if the aisle seat is available, mostly because I'm more
Speaker 2: likely to get up and go to the bathroom. I
Speaker 2: have the longer legs, you know, if I need to
Speaker 2: stretch or something, it's just a little bit easier me.
Speaker 2: Climbing over people, especially if they're strangers involved, is not
Speaker 2: a pleasant experience for anybody.
Speaker 1: So I just kind of it.
Speaker 2: It's like I kind of have default shotgun in a
Speaker 2: lot of cars. Like nobody just nobody will even talk
Speaker 2: about it. They're just like, you go up, you're up front,
Speaker 2: You're the.
Speaker 1: Up I mean, let's be real here, and when I
Speaker 1: say that, you are a man who needs some leg room,
Speaker 1: I mean. Seiland's a very tall guy. For those you
Speaker 1: knew to the show, Yeah, Sea lands six foot five
Speaker 1: or something. He's like a six foot four. He's massively tall.
Speaker 1: Guys four inches taller than me, but no one would
Speaker 1: ever notice. People generally think after meeting the both of us,
Speaker 1: I thought Sean was taller. I thought he was a
Speaker 1: more intimidating force to reckon with.
Speaker 2: Actually, now most of the people who have met us
Speaker 2: are going only four. I could have sorn it with five.
Speaker 2: He seems like a five inch taller.
Speaker 1: I'm not five to eleven. I ever ready six foot.
Speaker 1: So the story that we talked about was this Ryanair
Speaker 1: flight to get to the point here. And on this
Speaker 1: Ryanair flight, this guy, the Serbian dude was cruising along
Speaker 1: just like you are. Most times, you got that little
Speaker 1: window slide up and then as you know, and I know,
Speaker 1: there's the outside window glass and then the inside window glass.
Speaker 1: And on this flight, both of them broke right through.
Speaker 1: Both of them blasted right through at like thirty five
Speaker 1: thousand feet or whatever. And what it sounds like, do
Speaker 1: you have you heard it? To check your surprise. It's
Speaker 1: a t story as long as it flies.
Speaker 8: Wilde and as you find a guess, we're back on
Speaker 8: a plane.
Speaker 1: I thought we were gonna get some content instead of
Speaker 1: the thing that makes fun of me for talking about
Speaker 1: plane stories all the time. I thought we were gonna
Speaker 1: get some actual content of the guy getting sucked out
Speaker 1: of the plane. Then I thought, is he going to
Speaker 1: use the text to speech feature that we've been talking about.
Speaker 1: He's gonna do it as the Italian mobster getting pulled
Speaker 1: out of the plane or the sexy lady boys. I
Speaker 1: thought all the things were gonna happen except for say,
Speaker 1: for that, but this was a Ryanair flight. The guy
Speaker 1: his window blasts out and he gets sucked through all
Speaker 1: the way up to like the center point of his body.
Speaker 1: And his wife starts speaking with him, which you know,
Speaker 1: seems difficult to begin with, boom, because I am imagining
Speaker 1: to hear me, he's like stuck in the plane window.
Speaker 1: The plane windows around his mid section and his head's outside.
Speaker 1: And she says afterwards, here was a quote from this story.
Speaker 1: If we die, we died together, she said, which is
Speaker 1: so sweet sounding. Wife of ryanair passenger almost sucked through
Speaker 1: windows speaks, this is Milana. This is the guy that
Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday, yeah, or the other when the
Speaker 1: story broke originally. Now his wife is speaking out. She says,
Speaker 1: she grabbed her husband's legs while he was outside up
Speaker 1: to his chest for two minutes. Two minutes, yeah, two
Speaker 1: minutes time he was out there, like think about the
Speaker 1: plane at cruising altitude, the windows blast out and you're
Speaker 1: stuck at your waist for two minutes. A woman who
Speaker 1: saved her husband from being completely sucked out of a
Speaker 1: plane said, she thought, as she held undo his legs,
Speaker 1: if we die, we died together. Half of his body
Speaker 1: was sticking out of the plane. I immediately reacted and
Speaker 1: grabbed his legs. He was outside up to his chest
Speaker 1: for about two minutes. She said, with the help of
Speaker 1: two passengers, she was able to pull her husband, who
Speaker 1: had lost consciousness three times, back inside the aircraft. She
Speaker 1: said many people had fled their seats to other parts
Speaker 1: of the plane for safety as the cabin decompressed. The
Speaker 1: couple were on the flight operated by Ryan Ayir when
Speaker 1: this all occurred. The passengers have told the local media
Speaker 1: that he had kept his seatbelt on and those on
Speaker 1: board I kept hold of him while his upper torso
Speaker 1: was in the plane's slipstream outside. He's still in the
Speaker 1: hospital seriously injured. But his wife said, I was telling
Speaker 1: him I loved him and I was going to try
Speaker 1: to do our best. If we die, we died together.
Speaker 1: Now here's one thing I want to just throw out there.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a jerk about this, but
Speaker 1: there's no way he heard any of this. So afterwards
Speaker 1: she could have totally made up everything. She said, I
Speaker 1: see what you're saying. Afterwards she could be like, oh, honey,
Speaker 1: I was saying, please please, if we die, we died together.
Speaker 1: And during the moment she could have been like I
Speaker 1: don't know, just push him out like nobody knows what
Speaker 1: the hell really happened, and they'll never know. He couldn't
Speaker 1: hear anything. Imagine being out there in the air.
Speaker 2: He lost consciousness three times and right now I think
Speaker 2: they said he still can't communicate or something like. He's
Speaker 2: a hospital in Greece. Damn, it's in that what you
Speaker 2: just scrolled through?
Speaker 1: Oh was that? Okay? I was just going back to
Speaker 1: the window shot here because that's so crazy. The decompression
Speaker 1: was extreme. I must have passed it there. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: important to me that he's alive. Yeah, Okay, the sixty
Speaker 1: one year old is still in the hospital in Grease,
Speaker 1: remained seriously injured and in shock. It's important to me
Speaker 1: that he's alive. She said. His hand is particularly badly injured,
Speaker 1: and he's got burns. He's not able to communicate. He
Speaker 1: doesn't remember the whole event. Wow. Some people came to
Speaker 1: my aid. I remember one man, one woman. That man
Speaker 1: helped me a lot, and I think he was an
Speaker 1: Albanian man. Thank you very much. I don't remember his name.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he told me. I would
Speaker 1: like to meet him and thank him personally. Again. She said, Now,
Speaker 1: the thing that comes to mind is you and your wife, Ashley,
Speaker 1: are on one of these flights, window gets busted out
Speaker 1: like this, She's being sucked out of the plane. Do
Speaker 1: you risk your life to try to pull her back in? Yes?
Speaker 1: Or do you say, like, well, you know, Jackson's gonna
Speaker 1: need one parent to get us through this. We can't
Speaker 1: have both parents getting sucked out of the window of
Speaker 1: the plane. He's only his little kid, A little kid, right,
Speaker 1: I was two years old, all right, on the way
Speaker 1: to three. But he's got to have one part. You
Speaker 1: would still try to pull her back into the plane, Okay, Courtney,
Speaker 1: wouldn't try to pull me back into the plane. I'm
Speaker 1: not getting sucked out of the plane. We talked about this.
Speaker 1: If you were getting sucked out of the plane, would
Speaker 1: your wife grab you and try to pull you back
Speaker 1: into the plane? To you, I would hope. So you're
Speaker 1: less confident about that, though, I think she would.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it would be very difficult, but uh,
Speaker 2: I think I would like to think, you know till
Speaker 2: death do est part.
Speaker 1: I'll ask Courtney during the break. But here's my guess.
Speaker 1: My guess is Courtney would say I would not try
Speaker 1: to grab you and, like, you know, pull you back
Speaker 1: into the plane, because I would be too freaked out,
Speaker 1: and it would be better I would it would be
Speaker 1: better for somebody else to do it. I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: good at helping you do that. This is what she
Speaker 1: said in the past. Like one time we were walking
Speaker 1: along I told you this story, and lightning struck right
Speaker 1: next to us. She threw ladies leash and wholed ass
Speaker 1: away from me, lady and just left us. I had
Speaker 1: to get the leash off the ground. And one time
Speaker 1: a giant snake went after us when we were in
Speaker 1: the park, she threw ladies leash and ran away from
Speaker 1: both of us. I know what to expect in these scenarios. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's gonna throw the dog's leash and she's going to
Speaker 1: leave me behind. I'm she'll just go Like you look
Speaker 1: like you were firmly stuck in the window, and I
Speaker 1: didn't think that I should risk my life to help
Speaker 1: rescue yours. So I ask those of you who are
Speaker 1: in relationships, if you were with your partner and they
Speaker 1: got they're stuck halfway out the window on the plane,
Speaker 1: are you going to actively try to pull them back?
Speaker 1: Into the plane, or you're gonna be like, well, we
Speaker 1: can't risk both of us being injured or god forbid killed.
Speaker 1: You can't have that.
Speaker 2: I don't think, mar I don't think I would be
Speaker 2: risking both of us. No, I'm not going to fit
Speaker 2: through the window.
Speaker 1: I know, but you could still be injured, maybe even
Speaker 1: fatally just your head popping through it. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna be injured at some point. Your wife's
Speaker 1: not very big. She would fit right through the window,
Speaker 1: all right, right out. So you're holding onto her. Let's
Speaker 1: say you're holding onto her, she slips because you don't
Speaker 1: you're not strong enough to hold onto her. But why
Speaker 1: would I not be strong enough hold onto her? Your wife,
Speaker 1: she gets sucked out of the plane and flies down
Speaker 1: to Earth, and then your head pops through there. There's
Speaker 1: a huge risk that you're gravely injured or possibly even killed,
Speaker 1: flies down to Earth when she buzz Lightyear. Well, she's
Speaker 1: you might as well do it fun if you're gonna
Speaker 1: do it. Let's let's be real. If if you get
Speaker 1: yoked out of the window of a plane and you
Speaker 1: don't hold your hands out like Superman.
Speaker 2: What are you even doing like you're gonna have the
Speaker 2: forethought getting yoked out of the window of a plane
Speaker 2: to hold your hands out like Superman.
Speaker 1: The only thing that I would remember would be, oh, damn,
Speaker 1: I'm going to die. I would need a clean pants,
Speaker 1: and then I would go. If Sea Lane was here
Speaker 1: right now, he'd just be playing that back on a
Speaker 1: Plane song. Those were the things that would go through
Speaker 1: my head. Yeah, now, those would be the things that Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would roll through my head in that very moment.
Speaker 1: But let us know what you wish I was back
Speaker 1: on a plane? Would be your last thought? What if
Speaker 1: it was not your wife and just some stranger that
Speaker 1: you were sitting next to. I would probably help. I
Speaker 1: don't think you wouldn't people would if it was a stranger.
Speaker 1: It depends on if they were nice to me previously.
Speaker 1: I judge based in the moment. I judge based on
Speaker 1: the very very moment that I'm in. If they were
Speaker 1: rude to me on the plane and they were stuck
Speaker 1: on the winter and be like, suit your right there,
Speaker 1: you can go jerk deal with it. If they were
Speaker 1: really sweet to me and they were like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: are you the news junkie, big fan of the show, well,
Speaker 1: I need to keep all those people alive, so I'm
Speaker 1: going to you know, I'm going to help them out,
Speaker 1: but let us know what you would do in that circumstance.
Speaker 1: There's your update on the guy who got sucked out
Speaker 1: of the plane window and the Ryanair flight. Thoughts are
Speaker 1: on the way on the show when we come back.
Speaker 1: We got to pick a side for you. We'll hopefully
Speaker 1: get into that. I got a couple of them actually
Speaker 1: for you today. A couple of big updates and stories
Speaker 1: we've been following as well, some of the baseball world
Speaker 1: that people hated, and so much more. It's coming up
Speaker 1: next on the News, Chunkie. We'll get to your dispatches,
Speaker 1: your emails, and all the rest here in just a moment.
Speaker 1: But it's time to get a little fiery, all right.
Speaker 1: I think this one is going to bring it out
Speaker 1: of some of you, and I'm ready for this, all right.
Speaker 1: And I want to see what Chili has to say.
Speaker 1: I want to see what all of you and Chad
Speaker 1: have to say. I want to see what you have
Speaker 1: to say about this. Listening to the show right now,
Speaker 1: I want to see what everybody has to say about this.
Speaker 1: This is potentially the most explosive pick Aside, So far
Speaker 1: seland are you ready for this? I'm ready? All right?
Speaker 1: It all starts right here with this this porta potty. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: people rejected that song. I hate to say, somebody at
Speaker 1: chats that. I hope, I hope pick Aside got a
Speaker 1: better song? Do you have it over there? We can
Speaker 1: still play. I'll make a better one, but uh for now. Okay,
Speaker 1: at least at least your thoughts and takes won't beating
Speaker 1: when we tell you you'll take aside. That's your old school.
Speaker 1: I like that. It all starts right here, Sea Lan,
Speaker 1: in this porta potty. This is where our entire debate
Speaker 1: is going to begin. A woman is filming. I'm going
Speaker 1: to let this run a little bit before we get
Speaker 1: into the actual back and forth of who is right
Speaker 1: and who is wrong. Here we go, she's filming him
Speaker 1: this guy.
Speaker 8: Are you serious?
Speaker 9: Right now?
Speaker 1: If he leaves the porta party?
Speaker 9: Are you serious?
Speaker 3: This is our house and it's under construction. Say let's
Speaker 3: use it.
Speaker 1: Let's use it.
Speaker 7: Our house is under construction.
Speaker 3: That's not your porta potty for you to just use.
Speaker 1: Okay, I pause this right here. Now, there's a lot
Speaker 1: more to this and it gets a lot juice here,
Speaker 1: but I want you guys to pick a side. Now.
Speaker 1: This is all about the porta potty itself. This woman
Speaker 1: has decided to film this guy just as he came
Speaker 1: out of the porta potty, and she's confronting him, and
Speaker 1: then also thought she was right enough to post this
Speaker 1: on social media because she posted this online as well.
Speaker 1: The whole thing comes out of this. If you're out
Speaker 1: in public. This guy looks to be an Amazon driver,
Speaker 1: right I think he got Yeah, it looks like the
Speaker 1: usual get up the red color. And he's saying it
Speaker 1: doesn't speak English, but he's an Amazon driver. He has
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom really bad while he's out
Speaker 1: on his ride, and he sees a porta potty and
Speaker 1: he goes and uses the porta potty. She goes, is
Speaker 1: he using our portaty? That's our porta potty? And he goes, well,
Speaker 1: I didn't know, you know, I just he viewed the
Speaker 1: porta potty as sort of like a public bathroom. And
Speaker 1: I ask you this question. If you were walking around
Speaker 1: your neighborhood right now and it struck you that you
Speaker 1: really had to go to the bathroom, would you use
Speaker 1: a porta potty on a construction site. I not only would,
Speaker 1: but I have same sea lan, same same one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: And I thought I was gonna get in like real
Speaker 2: trouble for it because I was told that I couldn't
Speaker 2: use it by actual police officers.
Speaker 1: But I had to go. I had like it.
Speaker 2: This was this was emergency kind of situation here, you
Speaker 2: had to go.
Speaker 1: Young Columbian says he's an Amazon driver. I've been there,
Speaker 1: but there are bathrooms that aren't always available. Okay, but
Speaker 1: this is this is a porta potty on in somebody's
Speaker 1: front yard. She's arguing, like, this is basically our bathroom,
Speaker 1: and he's He's like, this is a porta potty. We
Speaker 1: generally just kind of treat porta potties like they're kind
Speaker 1: of a public bathroom that anybody can use. So who's right,
Speaker 1: Let's go back to it now. He's trying to speak
Speaker 1: with her, but he doesn't speak English, so he's typing
Speaker 1: into his phone what he wants to say to this
Speaker 1: woman because he's very confused.
Speaker 3: This is our house, This is not your porta potty.
Speaker 3: Why would you just use that it's on our property?
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what she's saying. He has no clue.
Speaker 1: She's just filming him and sure that like, hey, how
Speaker 1: rude is this?
Speaker 3: I don't even know how to do that.
Speaker 1: So now the Amazon guy is he's a decent dude.
Speaker 1: He seems like a nice guy. He's trying to speak
Speaker 1: with her. So he's using the app where you could
Speaker 1: talk to somebody in a different language back and forth,
Speaker 1: and when he gives it to her, she's like, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't even know how to do this. It's
Speaker 1: actually kind of a genius move.
Speaker 2: If he's actually speak English, like he does speak English,
Speaker 2: he could just be like, uh, letting her like like
Speaker 2: kind of kind of playing a waiting game with her
Speaker 2: to see if you know, if she just kind of
Speaker 2: gets frustrated and gives up because she doesn't know how
Speaker 2: to use the translate app.
Speaker 1: Maybe that that is a good way out. But somebody says, legally, illegally,
Speaker 1: he's in the wrong. That's what Heroin Bob says, and
Speaker 1: what Heroin Bob wouldn't be wrong about this. But now
Speaker 1: she's trying to explain to the translator app, this.
Speaker 3: Is our house that's under construction. We rent that bard
Speaker 3: a potty he just came on our property and went
Speaker 3: in our bathroom.
Speaker 1: He's looking at the translation, obviously, I think so he's
Speaker 1: he now said panto price. He's like, I'll pay you.
Speaker 1: I'll pay you. I had to use the bathroom. I'll
Speaker 1: give you some money for doing it. He does not
Speaker 1: understand what she's really upset about. He is not understanding
Speaker 1: what the hell she's upset about here, because she's like,
Speaker 1: you essentially used our bathroom. And he's like, oh, is
Speaker 1: it about money? Do you want some money?
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't want anything from you.
Speaker 1: Don't do that. I had to go. He said.
Speaker 7: That's like me.
Speaker 3: Going to your house and using your bathroom. It's our
Speaker 3: house is under construction, and we personally are using that bathroom.
Speaker 3: You just came to our house and went in our bathroom.
Speaker 1: He's seeing the message because he's getting the translation. I'm sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: don't do that again. Okay, go go go, don't go.
Speaker 1: You're dismissed. Get out of here, don't go. Who is
Speaker 1: in the right here? The homeowner who says, there's construction
Speaker 1: happening at our house right now, and this is our bathroom,
Speaker 1: albeit a portable bathroom, and outside of our house. You
Speaker 1: cannot just stop and use it. Or the guy who
Speaker 1: is Amazon driving around and he goes, I have to
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom. There's a porta potty right here.
Speaker 1: We all kind of just do this, don't we? So
Speaker 1: who is in the right here? Pick aside? That's my
Speaker 1: question for you. But really I want to go back
Speaker 1: to the end just for a second, because it's easy
Speaker 1: to miss just how rude she was to him. No, no,
Speaker 1: I don't want anything from you. Don't do that. She's
Speaker 1: so disgusted by it.
Speaker 3: That's like me going to your house and using your bathroom.
Speaker 3: Our house is under construction and we personally are using
Speaker 3: that bathroom. You just came to our house and went
Speaker 3: in our bathroom.
Speaker 1: I want to remind you something here because a lot
Speaker 1: of people find by and chat with thoughts. What's the
Speaker 1: point of this? Aj says? Is that is that all
Speaker 1: she wanted to humiliate him and get an apology? What
Speaker 1: a s word. The thing is, not only did she
Speaker 1: confront this guy for using a porta potty when he
Speaker 1: had to go to the bathroom for God's sake, but
Speaker 1: she videotaped it when she recorded it with her phone.
Speaker 1: That's one thing she confronted him and recorded with her phone.
Speaker 1: The third piece of the puzzle is she then posted
Speaker 1: it online, right, And what is the point of that
Speaker 1: if not to solely just be like, can you believe this? Dude?
Speaker 1: He used our porta potty, This is our port to partty,
Speaker 1: for God's sake? What a less then he is? You peasant?
Speaker 1: So he says, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There, Yeah, don't
Speaker 1: do that again. Okay, go go go, please leave. You're dismissed,
Speaker 1: Get out of here. What do you think, folks, who
Speaker 1: is in the right who's in the wrong? Here? You
Speaker 1: have to pick aside the Amazon worker who just tried
Speaker 1: to use the bathroom that he thought was just a
Speaker 1: porta potty out in front of a construction site, or
Speaker 1: the woman who says, this is our bathroom. You're just
Speaker 1: like using our bathroom in our house. What if I
Speaker 1: went to your house and use your bathroom? What do
Speaker 1: you think? When I watched this, I think I one
Speaker 1: hundred percent would have done what he did. I have
Speaker 1: done it, and I have done it same same, And like,
Speaker 1: I get it. The thing I did was wrong, it
Speaker 1: was illegal. The thing he did was illegal. But I mean,
Speaker 1: he's right in this situation, though, do you think she
Speaker 1: has a point at least?
Speaker 2: I mean she has a mild point because, like, like
Speaker 2: other people have pointed out in chat, legally medium X
Speaker 2: con put it, nailed it. She's morally wrong, but he's
Speaker 2: legally wrong right, technically he's going on to her property. Sure,
Speaker 2: but but but would any cop do anything about that? Like,
Speaker 2: would cops chime in on this? And they might have to?
Speaker 1: You think so if a cop said, if you said, hey,
Speaker 1: I was driving by my Amazon vehicle, I had to
Speaker 1: use the restroom, say used the porta partty at this
Speaker 1: construction site. These people are like so upset by this,
Speaker 1: now you're gonna be I don't think they would arrest you.
Speaker 1: Maybe not arrest, but they might, Uh, they might do
Speaker 1: the minimum that they have to do, you know, to
Speaker 1: appease this lady, which might be like writing up a
Speaker 1: criminal trespass something like that. You know, maybe not arresting
Speaker 1: him for trespassing then and there. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: maybe like some sort of notice that says he can't
Speaker 1: return to that property for a year or something like that.
Speaker 1: Can I ask the big question here? The big question
Speaker 1: to me is this, what on earth are you so
Speaker 1: worried about lady, Are you worried he's going to make
Speaker 1: your porta potty? Gross? I have some news for you.
Speaker 1: Many other people before you have gone into your plastic
Speaker 1: bathroom and utilized it many times. And I hate to
Speaker 1: say it, but if you're living in a house that's
Speaker 1: so under construction that you don't even have a functioning
Speaker 1: inside bathroom, maybe your home is not livable all right.
Speaker 1: Nobody on the planet goes to a construction site, sees
Speaker 1: a porta potty and thinks this is now the homeowner's
Speaker 1: private bathroom. Nobody thinks that way. Nobody that I've ever
Speaker 1: met in my life thinks the workers. They think it's
Speaker 1: for the workers. They think there's something inside for the
Speaker 1: homeowners to use, or the homeowners just wouldn't be there,
Speaker 1: or if this is such a gd big deal to you,
Speaker 1: I don't. Don't the porta potties have a thing you
Speaker 1: could lock it? Imagine there's a lock on there, well,
Speaker 1: like going to put a pad lock on it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess something that you would be able to lock
Speaker 1: it up. I just don't get it. I think if
Speaker 1: your house is so under construction that you don't even
Speaker 1: have a functioning bathroom. Your house is not livable, it's
Speaker 1: time for you, while you funded the construction, to fund
Speaker 1: yourself for a cheap little hotel for a week or so. Yeah,
Speaker 1: until you end up getting that place. No badger says
Speaker 1: she's one hundred percent not living there. It could be
Speaker 1: that she's not even living there. And then still just
Speaker 1: like mad that this guy would use the porta potty
Speaker 1: because it wasn't his, and he even wanted to pay,
Speaker 1: He was like offering all these things. Yeah, she was
Speaker 1: so rude to him, but she thought he was so
Speaker 1: rude to her. That's that's the real dilemma.
Speaker 2: And the thing about this is it's funny because this
Speaker 2: is like the second pick aside in a row that's
Speaker 2: had to deal with whether or not you should be
Speaker 2: allowed to use the bathroom at a place. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: in the previous one, I was siding with the store
Speaker 2: owner or the store clerk or whatever, just because it's
Speaker 2: a very common practice to have a sign on your
Speaker 2: store that says you must be a customer to use
Speaker 2: the restroom here. Sure, and I do have a like
Speaker 2: a I have a room, in my opinion, to have
Speaker 2: sympathy for somebody who just really has to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you too, but I did too. But I mean,
Speaker 1: if I had to go that bad and I was
Speaker 1: at a gas station, I'll buy a coke, man, because
Speaker 1: then I could go to the bathroom and then I
Speaker 1: get a coke one hundred percent right, that problem kind
Speaker 1: of solves itself. I would go, I have an emergency.
Speaker 1: I promise you, I'm going to spend twenty bucks in
Speaker 1: here on a way out.
Speaker 2: And the problem with the previous video is the guy
Speaker 2: was being a total dick about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was rude. The other person was. But this
Speaker 1: this person was not rude at all. They don't even
Speaker 1: know English. Maybe she was not about that. He was
Speaker 1: being so nice. Dispatch dances. I'll say it again. This
Speaker 1: is the entitled rich people mentality. She didn't want them
Speaker 1: getting in their portagoon. Here's ks with the dispatch about
Speaker 1: this is what I said.
Speaker 7: I take it this woman is white.
Speaker 10: She is yeah, lady, white women.
Speaker 1: Karens lead the man alone. He had to go.
Speaker 7: He had to take the number two.
Speaker 1: It's house. I hope that's not what he did. If
Speaker 1: he left one of those behind, well.
Speaker 2: Does that does that change your opinion of how everything
Speaker 2: went down? If he uh, there were one ZIRATUZI.
Speaker 1: It could. Yeah, it's potential. There's potential that it could.
Speaker 2: Now it's funny because you watch this and you go, well,
Speaker 2: I would hope the guy was just just doing a
Speaker 2: pee in there, you know, and then after watching the
Speaker 2: way the woman him, now, I kind of like you
Speaker 2: would rewrite history and hope he wasn't.
Speaker 1: You know, I hope he was going for the full
Speaker 1: the full trip. I don't know whether he went number one,
Speaker 1: number two. He did touch his stomach. He was like,
Speaker 1: oh my, you know, like my stomach is yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he like was rubbing his stomach, going, oh, it was bad.
Speaker 1: I had to go. It was an emergency. I like,
Speaker 1: like Selan, I agree on that front. I one hundred
Speaker 1: percent have to consider that I've been in those emergency
Speaker 1: situations too. I think that this lady could have had
Speaker 1: a point, and she could have been like, hey, I
Speaker 1: get what's going on here. Next time, just for the record,
Speaker 1: this is our personal porta potty. We actually use it
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, you know, don't don't leave anything behind. Right.
Speaker 1: She could have said that, but she didn't say that.
Speaker 1: She engaged with him. She was rude to him, She
Speaker 1: videotaped him, and then she post posted it up on
Speaker 1: social media to make him look back. It's the grip. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I think while she has a point, I picked the guy.
Speaker 1: I picked the guy in the emergency bathroom situation. We
Speaker 1: want to see what you think.
Speaker 2: As a person who has exited a porta potty and
Speaker 2: been met with angry people outside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I picked the guy. I feel for him a
Speaker 1: little bit or not. Says it's dumb to think trespassing
Speaker 1: is okay, and that color making it about Ray sucks.
Speaker 1: I think he's just saying that about the Karen front
Speaker 1: or whatever. I care less about that. I just care
Speaker 1: more about like, who is in the right here? Fresh
Speaker 1: boy says, question, where are the construction workers supposed to
Speaker 1: use the bathroom? She won't let anyone else use the
Speaker 1: port to potty? I don't know. Good question. Yeah, let
Speaker 1: us know. Yeah. Dan says, Yeah, this isn't something he
Speaker 1: deserves to lose his job or payover. I hope his
Speaker 1: company's more understanding. Dude did offer to pay and fix it.
Speaker 1: His company is Amazon, So Amazon is like Amazon is
Speaker 1: so big that this woman could go this man used
Speaker 1: our private bathroom and he had no permission to do so,
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't even know what was going on, so
Speaker 1: that could be another problem. So let us know what
Speaker 1: you think. Send your dispatch over the news junkie dot
Speaker 1: com or an email tips tips on thenewsjunkie dot com. Okay,
Speaker 1: quick break. When we come back, we'll get to more
Speaker 1: of your responses, including to the question we started the
Speaker 1: show off with, is it possible with Mitch McConnell in
Speaker 1: mind to prove in twenty twenty six that you're actually alive?
Speaker 1: The newspaper could be AI, the video could be AI.
Speaker 1: Everything could be a how do you approve that you're live?
Speaker 1: We'll get into your responses on that one as well.
Speaker 1: It's coming up next on the News Junkie. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much to everybody for the support here on the
Speaker 1: show today, including Tom Tom with the gifted subscription over
Speaker 1: on thenewsjunkie dot com that was claimed very quickly. Appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Appreciate Brad for the fourteen earlier You go next show.
Speaker 1: Some sport to the show over on the news junky
Speaker 1: dot com by subscribing or gifting as some subscriptions for
Speaker 1: other very greedy, very wanting listeners of the show. This
Speaker 1: is funny to me. In San Francisco, Selene, they've been
Speaker 1: trying to finally turn things around. And in San Francisco
Speaker 1: there are people who had enough finally of them being
Speaker 1: known as a city with human feces on the sidewalk,
Speaker 1: the hobo encampments everywhere, the tent cities, the sidewalks covered
Speaker 1: in tents, all that stuff. Finally, a couple of these
Speaker 1: San Franciscans got upset by that and they wanted to
Speaker 1: make some moves. The new mayor of San Francisco, from
Speaker 1: what I could tell, has actually been doing some stuff
Speaker 1: that was a little bit smarter than you might expect,
Speaker 1: you know, given the history of the city with the
Speaker 1: homeless issues, and I guess San Franciscans have been taken
Speaker 1: kindly to it. They've been liking that he's been changing
Speaker 1: things up and cleaning things up a little bit. They
Speaker 1: have a new policy treat every day like China is coming.
Speaker 1: Treat every Yeah. I was trying to spell that out, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, literally just treat it like the premiere or
Speaker 1: the president of China's coming. I was like, what is that.
Speaker 1: I thought you were trying to spell like t U R. D.
Speaker 1: We're going in that direction, but this is different here.
Speaker 1: So these folks in San Francisco started freaking out. Let
Speaker 1: me bring up this story from KTLA in front of me.
Speaker 1: And these folks started freaking out because a homeless encampment
Speaker 1: was popping up in front of their place, and they
Speaker 1: obviously did not like this. Here is what the homeless
Speaker 1: encampment looked like on the sidewalk. And so I thought
Speaker 1: we were stopping this. I thought we were shutting down
Speaker 1: these homeless takeovers of the public sidewalk and living in
Speaker 1: little tents like this. And so they started to complain.
Speaker 1: They started to register the calls with the police and
Speaker 1: with the you know, three one ones and all of that,
Speaker 1: and when the information came back, they said, oh no,
Speaker 1: we can't actually get rid of this. We can't get
Speaker 1: rid of this homeless encampment. Any guesses as to why
Speaker 1: Sea Landard? Do you already know? Sure? I know, I
Speaker 1: don't already know.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, they can't get rid of it because
Speaker 2: it is part of a movie shoot.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. Actually, ye, this is not a real
Speaker 1: homeless camp of tents. This is legitimately they found out
Speaker 1: the set for a new Netflix movie called twenty thirty four,
Speaker 1: and in the movie about twenty thirty four San Francisco,
Speaker 1: they want to show the sidewalks with hobos and tents
Speaker 1: all over the place, So they show it that way
Speaker 1: by putting up a tent city on the telliewalk for filming.
Speaker 1: And then when the residents thin gets an actual tent
Speaker 1: city and try to get it shut down, well, they
Speaker 1: say we can't. It's kind of interesting to me because
Speaker 1: my first thought when I say this is that some
Speaker 1: of those tents are kind of nice looking, Like as
Speaker 1: far as tents goes, too clean, yeah, yeah, very much
Speaker 1: too clean for a homeless encampment. But you know, I
Speaker 1: know that sometimes some of these things get stolen or
Speaker 1: donated or whatever.
Speaker 2: So the fact that they might get access to nicer materials,
Speaker 2: nicer things like that is not crazy. But now that
Speaker 2: I know it's for a movie set, I think it
Speaker 2: looks even more too nice, because how's it going to
Speaker 2: be believable in twenty thirty four or twenty thirty whatever
Speaker 2: the film is called.
Speaker 1: When all the stuff is too cleaned up? They'll add
Speaker 1: that in post. I guess here's kat c La. I
Speaker 1: want to hear them talk about this. This is the
Speaker 1: story of this homeless camp that popped up, and people
Speaker 1: complain this It was fair.
Speaker 11: Quite a shock when a massive homeless encampment popped up
Speaker 11: in their neighborhood. Fortunately for those residents, it turned out
Speaker 11: to be fake.
Speaker 1: Quiet on the Sea.
Speaker 11: This encampment in the city's financial district is actually the
Speaker 11: set for new Netflix thriller twenty thirty four. The AI
Speaker 11: themed film stars Rachel McAdams and Jeff Daniels. Cruz equipment,
Speaker 11: trucks and traffic control officers our working meet, working in
Speaker 11: the area.
Speaker 1: Imagine that you go, oh, no, there's more hobos and
Speaker 1: the tents. Actually, this one's going to stay. This one's
Speaker 1: going to stay here for right now. Somebody says, I'm
Speaker 1: surprised actual homeless people didn't try to move in. Not yet,
Speaker 1: not yet, But that's what happens. Always a chance though. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The headline says, a massive homeless encampment popped up in
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Turns out it's fake, so they can't get
Speaker 1: rid of it because they have a permit for this
Speaker 1: particular homeless encampment. Let us know you think. Send a
Speaker 1: dispatch over at the news Junkie Dot com let's see
Speaker 1: what we got. I'm sure some people were chiming in
Speaker 1: on our pick a side, which was the homeowner who
Speaker 1: said to the Amazon where who went up? And she
Speaker 1: caught him using her porta potty on her property? She said,
Speaker 1: that's our porta potty. It's like using our bathroom. Our
Speaker 1: house is under construction and we used that porta potty.
Speaker 1: How could you do this? So many people had thoughts
Speaker 1: and let's see, here's a tts from the elder. I
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have said anything if the guy was an
Speaker 1: obvious Amazon driver, But if the guy maybe look like
Speaker 1: a hobo, I would maybe say something. I know you
Speaker 1: may not be right, but that's what I would do,
Speaker 1: all right? Thank you? Is Flip talking about this thing
Speaker 1: happening in his neighborhood. Really this has happened to him.
Speaker 12: So a similar thing like this happened in our neighborhood.
Speaker 12: I happen to be on the homeowners association because I
Speaker 12: hate homeowners associations, so I wanted to keep everybody in check.
Speaker 12: And we had a house under construction that had a
Speaker 12: portajohn that the landscape folks that were mowing our common
Speaker 12: areas would use all the time, and the homeowner was
Speaker 12: getting upset because he has to pay to.
Speaker 1: You know, get it emptied and cleaned and all that.
Speaker 12: So the first instance where somebody's caught, you're not going
Speaker 12: to get a ticket or get in trouble.
Speaker 1: You get a warning.
Speaker 12: And then and this is in Virginia with Virginia cops
Speaker 12: and all that sort of thing. Sure, the second time,
Speaker 12: if you're caught doing the same thing after you've been warned,
Speaker 12: then you can get a citation. But the simple answer
Speaker 12: to that was, hey, homeowner, put a pad lock on it,
Speaker 12: give the key or the combination to the contractors who
Speaker 12: use it, and tell them to lock it up when
Speaker 12: you're done.
Speaker 1: You won't have this situation. Yeah, that's what I was saying.
Speaker 1: I was like, you could put a lock on these
Speaker 1: things if you're so territorial about it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's weird because he's saying, hey, homeowner, put
Speaker 2: a put a lock on it. But a lot of
Speaker 2: times it's the construction companies themselves that set up these
Speaker 2: porta potties. Now, if she was really telling the truth,
Speaker 2: inas much as they are living in the house but
Speaker 2: don't have a bathroom, so that's the bathroom they use,
Speaker 2: and maybe they did hire the porta potty themselves, but
Speaker 2: it just seems like something that the construction company already
Speaker 2: has to deal with, so they would be the ones
Speaker 2: like in charge of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think that that makes sense
Speaker 1: to me. I don't know. I don't know if that
Speaker 1: lady will find it to be sensible though. I think
Speaker 1: that lady was very serious about what she was doing
Speaker 1: and very rude to the guy here's big al So,
Speaker 1: this lady with a porta potty, that's just definitely morally wrong.
Speaker 1: But I've stopped to use porta potties at job sites
Speaker 1: before ever to get me twice. I'm in construction, but
Speaker 1: I drive around a lot. I mean, you gotta go,
Speaker 1: you gotta go.
Speaker 2: If that was my house, I could give two shakes
Speaker 2: less and yes, you kind of a pad on the outside.
Speaker 13: Some of the dich characters will lock their personal porn
Speaker 13: potties on a job site.
Speaker 1: Or the ones for women on a job site. They
Speaker 1: will have their own key so the men can't use it.
Speaker 1: But this lady's just being a pain in the ass,
Speaker 1: silly way to say it. I hope that's allowed. Have
Speaker 1: a good one, guys, Thank you big al appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Thanks for your feedback. You could be next record your
Speaker 1: message over at the Newsjunkie dot com. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think like you just have to Ceelian and hit the
Speaker 1: nail on the head for me. You just have to
Speaker 1: understand this. Sometimes people have emergencies and it's not like
Speaker 1: something they're doing because they're angry at you or to
Speaker 1: get back at you, or you know, anything like that.
Speaker 1: When I was like younger, like a kid, elementary age, daycare,
Speaker 1: I still remember one of the only times my mom
Speaker 1: told me that I could disobey an adult was that
Speaker 1: if that adult was telling me that I couldn't go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom and I really had to right, like,
Speaker 1: you know, the only time that it was like acceptable
Speaker 1: for me to just deliberately go against somebody's wishes an adult.
Speaker 1: Witch is like that somebody in a position of authority
Speaker 1: was like, hey, you have to go to the bathroom,
Speaker 1: and you know, and they have a problem with it.
Speaker 1: They could talk to me, Yeah, what are you supposed
Speaker 1: to do about this? Here's the last word on this
Speaker 1: one final dispatch from Daddy.
Speaker 14: Two times so with this porta potty situation, I know,
Speaker 14: if we were asked to raise our hand. If we
Speaker 14: taken a random dump and a random porta party before,
Speaker 14: a whole lot of hands would go up. Now to
Speaker 14: ask how many of us took that dump at a
Speaker 14: residential property while people were living in the home and
Speaker 14: we weren't a contractor working there or one of their guests,
Speaker 14: the amount of hands would go down to damn near zero.
Speaker 14: So I understand the importance and the urgency in the
Speaker 14: matter at hand. This is Florida, man, You might get
Speaker 14: shot taking a dump in someone's property, on their property.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be with somebody over the too. Probably he wasn't saying
Speaker 1: it's a good idea to shoot people for this, But
Speaker 1: you know how many times have we had a story
Speaker 1: about somebody getting shot for turning around in the wrong driveway? True, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's absolutely happened. All right, we'll take more of your
Speaker 1: responses on anything we're talking about here today. We will
Speaker 1: take emails as well. Tips at the News Junkie when
Speaker 1: we come back. We got the hot sheet that's all
Speaker 1: geared up and ready to go. We got an announcement
Speaker 1: for you at the start of the Power Hour and
Speaker 1: so much more on the way, and I shared the
Speaker 1: show Tuesday, and that's coming up next on the News
Speaker 1: Junkie from just moments ago. I guess Trump was asked
Speaker 1: why the FBI was at Lindsay Graham's house? What are
Speaker 1: they doing there? If this is just some health issue?
Speaker 1: And Lindsay Graham wasn't killed by the Russians or the
Speaker 1: Iranians or whoever, or the Jews. I don't know. Somebody
Speaker 1: sent any email center. I think it might have been
Speaker 1: the Israelis, whatever you think, whatever your pet conspiracy is,
Speaker 1: why was the FBI at Lindsay Graham's house? And I
Speaker 1: guess this was just asked in the White House, let's
Speaker 1: listen to it.
Speaker 9: I could also ask, are you aware of why the
Speaker 9: FBI is looking into Senator Graham's have done?
Speaker 1: In the updates on why they.
Speaker 15: Ran some Well, I don't know why, because I think
Speaker 15: you know, he had a problem. His father had a
Speaker 15: very similar problem, as you know, it's very unique. At
Speaker 15: first I heard it was clog daughter is because he
Speaker 15: did have clog daughters. He had a problem with that
Speaker 15: he was I wish he took better care of himself.
Speaker 15: I say, you could see, you know you can solve
Speaker 15: that problem. But what happened is actually something that's very
Speaker 15: hard to detect.
Speaker 6: It was not related to the A blockage. It was
Speaker 6: a totally different thing.
Speaker 15: And supposedly, and I've watched all the medical reports. I've
Speaker 15: had the doctors from the White House come in and
Speaker 15: explain what happened. And this is something that is very
Speaker 15: almost undetectable, and yeah, it happens.
Speaker 6: There's not much you can do about ec.
Speaker 1: Yeah, were you we heard you kind of crying a
Speaker 1: little bit. Were those tears? Also talk about Lindsay Graham's
Speaker 1: clogged guarteries and the glasshouse is trump right, I mean
Speaker 1: a bit of a your fast food animal yourself. I
Speaker 1: know that, I've seen that my son.
Speaker 2: I think Lindsay Graham has been photographed as much as
Speaker 2: McDonald's as you have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's maybe a little out of his
Speaker 1: lane there, unfortunately.
Speaker 6: But there's not much you can do about it.
Speaker 15: If you look at his his father died of the
Speaker 15: same thing at about the same age, Jesus, so.
Speaker 6: There was not much. They say, it's almost undetected. So
Speaker 6: my fat behind detected by.
Speaker 15: If you have a very bad back, that's a sign
Speaker 15: that's a bad sign. So if anybody has a bad back,
Speaker 15: it's a pretty.
Speaker 6: Rough thing to think about it.
Speaker 15: But the fact that's one of the primary sons, and
Speaker 15: he would tell me he had a bad back, but
Speaker 15: little did anyone realized it was so there so and
Speaker 15: when that bursts, which it did bursts, there's.
Speaker 6: Not much show. I don't see a lot of people there.
Speaker 1: If you have a bad back, you've been warned. Number one.
Speaker 1: Number two. I don't know how that answers the question
Speaker 1: of the FBI at his house following his sudden death.
Speaker 1: Maybe just making sure, I don't know you let us
Speaker 1: know what you think. Send a dispatch right now, let's
Speaker 1: do the hot sheet, my god sheet. It's in new
Speaker 1: but not like important news.
Speaker 2: That's that'st again of reporting on the planet from the
Speaker 2: people on your screen.
Speaker 1: And then speakers are on the hot sheet with Sea Lane.
Speaker 2: That's right, the top five stories right here in the
Speaker 2: nonsense news, brought to you by that mortgage guide down
Speaker 2: and Sean. Where do you land on movie lengths these days?
Speaker 2: I know there's been a bunch of talk about it.
Speaker 2: There was a new report last week or something about
Speaker 2: when the how long they.
Speaker 1: Think movies should be oh oh god. I think a
Speaker 1: movie should be every second that it needs to be
Speaker 1: a not one second more personally, but two hours is
Speaker 1: about around what I tend to like. I think you
Speaker 1: like you like two hours? Yeah, two hours. I think
Speaker 1: you need to take a little chum maybe an hour
Speaker 1: forty two hours something. It takes about two hours out
Speaker 1: of your day. I like that.
Speaker 2: Well, they're talking a lot about some of the movies
Speaker 2: that have come out recently. I think Oppenheimer. But Oppenheimer
Speaker 2: was pretty long. The new Christopher Nolan The Odyssey is
Speaker 2: supposed to be pretty long. The story itself is pretty long,
Speaker 2: so it's hard to kind of trunkate Homer's Odyssey. And
Speaker 2: now Disney is saying they're putting premium format tickets on
Speaker 2: sale months in advance for Avengers Doom Day Doomsday. The
Speaker 2: studio plans to announced the domestic tickets for the eagerly
Speaker 2: anticipated franchise sequel will go on sale July twentieth. The
Speaker 2: studio will open the ticket sales five months early for
Speaker 2: these Infinity Vision theaters, which is the large format designation
Speaker 2: the studio announced for select Doomsday theater screens. They created
Speaker 2: that brand in the wake of Warner Brothers locking down
Speaker 2: Imax for Doune Part three for three weeks after both
Speaker 2: films are released on December eighteenth, So it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a big box office battle later this year. But now
Speaker 2: that they have they're starting to sell tickets. They have
Speaker 2: to schedule.
Speaker 1: These, and they have an early run time for the
Speaker 1: film of one hundred and sixty five minutes. That is
Speaker 1: two hours and forty five minutes. That's literally on the
Speaker 1: wrong side. But again, it doesn't matter to me personally
Speaker 1: as long as I'm not watching the movie thinking you
Speaker 1: could have edited this out or that out, or this out.
Speaker 1: If it's like like Obsession was a pretty longish movie.
Speaker 1: I think it was around two hours, wasn't the ninety
Speaker 1: It went by pretty quickly for me, And that goes
Speaker 1: to tell you, hold on Obsession runtime one hundred and
Speaker 1: eight minutes. I guess, okay, so just short of two
Speaker 1: hours Obsession was. But to me, that was the perfect
Speaker 1: link that movie should have been because there was nothing
Speaker 1: that I thought could have been cut out. So that's
Speaker 1: what I always think.
Speaker 2: To well, they say the final cut is unlikely to
Speaker 2: be locked in this far in advance. Selling tickets on
Speaker 2: a set schedule like this means they can only change
Speaker 2: the run the runtime by a small margin, because now
Speaker 2: they're selling things on a schedule at one hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty five minutes will be longer than twenty eighteen's Infinity War,
Speaker 2: but shorter than Endgame, which were in one hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty one minutes. Brad Pitt used to be, you know,
Speaker 2: the it guy man. He was the most desirable name
Speaker 2: in Hollywood at times, unless, of course, you're his daughter.
Speaker 2: Because another kid of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's is
Speaker 2: getting closer to closing the book on the family name,
Speaker 2: Zahara Jolie Pitt, has taken legal steps to just be
Speaker 2: Zahara Jolie. A court document show she's completed one of
Speaker 2: California's required hurdles for a legal name change by publishing
Speaker 2: I didn't know you had to do this to change
Speaker 2: your name, publishing notice of her petition in the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Daily Journal once a week for four consecutive weeks.
Speaker 1: I saw this in Nathan for you believe it or not,
Speaker 1: Changing your name requires a lot of steps like this,
Speaker 1: and I find it to be weird. But what happened,
Speaker 1: like what is Brad Pitt supposed to see it in
Speaker 1: that publication.
Speaker 2: And hang on, I mean, I think you could just
Speaker 2: see it on his phone or I'm sure somebody's gonna
Speaker 2: tell me about it.
Speaker 1: But is that like a blue law?
Speaker 2: Is that like an older thing, like publish it in
Speaker 2: the newspaper once a week for four consecutive weeks to
Speaker 2: tell the.
Speaker 1: World you have a different name. Or I guess it
Speaker 1: says you can call for anyone opposing the change to
Speaker 1: submit a written opposition before the final hearing. I bet
Speaker 1: it goes back to like marriage somehow, like a woman
Speaker 1: trying to change her name toget.
Speaker 2: I bet it goes back to that, But I'll check
Speaker 2: find out where to find out the divorcees. The twenty
Speaker 2: one year old filed her petition in June asking to
Speaker 2: legally change her name from Zahara Marley Jolie Pitt to
Speaker 2: just Zahara Marlee Jolie.
Speaker 1: Dropping the pit name.
Speaker 2: Apparently there's a little bit of trouble in Paradise when
Speaker 2: it comes to Brad Pitt and his children with Angelina Jolie.
Speaker 2: Over in the Kanye world, an ex employee of Kanye
Speaker 2: West is seeking a lot of money in legal fees
Speaker 2: after winning a court case against Kanye. This guy, Anthony
Speaker 2: Saxon Nettlecoas, a former employee who won a civil case
Speaker 2: against the rapper earlier this year, is now asking the
Speaker 2: judge to make Kanye cough up one point two million
Speaker 2: dollars in attorney's fees, which seems like a lot of
Speaker 2: money in attorney's fees when the jury only awarded the
Speaker 2: man one hundred and forty thousand dollars in damages after
Speaker 2: finding yea libel under California his labor code for failing
Speaker 2: to provide workers compensation insurance, so he gets one hundred
Speaker 2: and forty grand. His lawyers say, we logged seven hundred
Speaker 2: and forty attorney hours over the three year fight. That's
Speaker 2: worth to us a lot more than one hundred and
Speaker 2: forty grand. We're going to need one point two million
Speaker 2: dollars Jesus, So they're asking the judge to make Kanye
Speaker 2: pay up even more. The filing also takes aim at
Speaker 2: Kanye's litigation taxic tactics. It says that Kanye's people made
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars settlement for just before trial, then
Speaker 2: later demanded Saxon pay two hundred thousand dollars himself and
Speaker 2: issue a public apology, which is attorneys say they rejected
Speaker 2: both and pressed onto a trial that they ended up winning.
Speaker 1: Real quick, go ahead, I'm sorry, I tell you were
Speaker 1: two hundred grand in an apology when you're the one suing.
Speaker 1: Is a wild ask real quick. On the name change thing,
Speaker 1: the main historical reasons were to prevent people from getting
Speaker 1: away from debt, so if they owed a debt and
Speaker 1: they wanted to change their name, preventing criminal evasions. So
Speaker 1: if you were like a wanted person and you changed
Speaker 1: your name, protecting inheritance and property rights and sometimes for
Speaker 1: like divorce notices and stuff as well. And it was
Speaker 1: it's weird that they still do that now, like in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Does that make sense to still have
Speaker 1: to do this seems very town crier like. Here here
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt's daughter, the Lord Christopher Lane wishes to change
Speaker 1: his name. He made himself a lord, folks.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean in the old days I would
Speaker 2: probably be a lord, at least a lord over in Italy.
Speaker 2: The iconic tenor Andrea Bocelli has his name attached to
Speaker 2: this really weird story, only because I guess he owns
Speaker 2: this piece of property that somebody rented out for their wedding.
Speaker 2: But a couple from the United States was a victim
Speaker 2: of a robbery at a swanky Butchelly family estate in
Speaker 2: Foot de dem Me, an upscale seaside town on the
Speaker 2: Tuscan coast, whereas intruders made their way in and helped
Speaker 2: themselves to watch his cash and find jewelry among other
Speaker 2: high end brand valuables while everyone was at dinner. A
Speaker 2: couple of feelds they were done dirty on the eve
Speaker 2: of their wedding. No less, there was no forced entrance
Speaker 2: into the locked and alarm set villa. A wall safe
Speaker 2: which they were unaware of in the home was even cracked,
Speaker 2: and local authorities responded, but the couple says they did
Speaker 2: a half assed job investigating. In their final report had
Speaker 2: glaring inaccuracies and weirdly enough, Andrea Bocelli it was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I have very little to do with this except my
Speaker 2: name's on the deed, but it just it landed him
Speaker 2: in the news. Nonetheless, and last but not least, it
Speaker 2: is expensive to get a pardon from the president, and
Speaker 2: especially when you don't actually get it. Boozy Badass is
Speaker 2: suing after paying six hundred thousand dollars to lobbyists for
Speaker 2: a Trump pardon that never materialized. He had to pay
Speaker 2: three hundred up front, and he claims that since they
Speaker 2: didn't do it, they should give him money back. But
Speaker 2: that may or may not have been omitted from their contract,
Speaker 2: so he might be out six hundred k and not
Speaker 2: pardon for that possession of a gun by a Fellon
Speaker 2: kind of deal he was in trouble for. So Boozy
Speaker 2: Badass has got some troubles in his foregram. Hey, if
Speaker 2: you have a mortgage with a seven or eight in
Speaker 2: front of the rate, it's time to call that mortgage
Speaker 2: guy down. You're paying too much money. The rates have
Speaker 2: been headed down there at nearly three year lows, and
Speaker 2: so if you want to pay less money, you want
Speaker 2: to save a little bit of that, call our friend down.
Speaker 1: He'll help you out. Here is the website. All right, folks,
Speaker 1: when we come back, I got another pick aside for
Speaker 1: us to get into. We have a bunch of other
Speaker 1: stories that we haven't even begun to broach yet, but
Speaker 1: we'll continue with the updates. We have an announcement at
Speaker 1: the start of the Power Hour as well, and that's
Speaker 1: all coming up next on The News Junkie. We got
Speaker 1: an announcement at the top of the hour when we
Speaker 1: kick off the Power Hour, I got to pick a
Speaker 1: side for you here in just a moment. People have
Speaker 1: been loving those. My favorite part is sometimes people might
Speaker 1: they try to really hold me to the news part
Speaker 1: of the news junkie stuff. Sometimes I thought this was
Speaker 1: a news junkie. I said, this is not news. I say, wait,
Speaker 1: wait and watch. We just had a pick a side
Speaker 1: that we did like a week or two ago that
Speaker 1: when I woke up this morning, I saw in like
Speaker 1: three or four news stories. We take the story when
Speaker 1: it's just starting to pop off in the viral world.
Speaker 1: We talk about it as a pick aside. It's sort
Speaker 1: of a distraction here on the News Junkie, and then
Speaker 1: it legitimately becomes a news story like a week or
Speaker 1: two afterwards. That's how it goes. So just hit the
Speaker 1: brakes on that if you don't mind, I do. I
Speaker 1: do have that pick aside for you, and I want
Speaker 1: to get into that. But first I hope everybody's being
Speaker 1: careful out there because this this parasite that's making so
Speaker 1: many people sick. Is really starting to spread. And I
Speaker 1: keep hearing California finds its first case. There are cases
Speaker 1: in Florida. It's spreading across New York, this parasite that
Speaker 1: they think maybe is coming from the produce at someplace.
Speaker 1: People are blaming Taco Bell, and I really.
Speaker 2: Blaming Taco Bell, like they're talking about investigating Taco Bell and.
Speaker 1: All of that. I think se Lane is because of
Speaker 1: insert diarrhea joke. That's literally what it is. There has
Speaker 1: been a lot of that. All of these people are
Speaker 1: posting on social media. There's a parasite causing everybody to
Speaker 1: have diarrhea. And Taco Bell, what what what are you
Speaker 1: doing here? Taco Bell simply saw that this was spreading
Speaker 1: from I think Michigan, and in their Michigan state, Taco
Speaker 1: Bell restaurants took a bunch of items off the menu.
Speaker 1: Poor Taco Bell gets it hard. Like the headlines I saw,
Speaker 1: let me see Taco Bell.
Speaker 2: Do you think Taco Bell like, I don't think they
Speaker 2: are really worried about that stigma. It doesn't seem to
Speaker 2: affect their bottom line. It doesn't seem to affect It
Speaker 2: doesn't look like they've ever tried to go out on
Speaker 2: the offensive or on the defense.
Speaker 1: Maybe of of this whole. You know, Taco Bell gives
Speaker 1: you a stomach troubles kind of idea. They just go,
Speaker 1: all right, you guys haven't stopped coming to get the cheloupas,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna keep serving them to you. You know
Speaker 1: what those sea lane It's that would be like trying
Speaker 1: to save beans right now. Beans are forever tied to farts.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just the way of the world that
Speaker 1: beings rhyme. Yes, that's literally that rhyme beans. Beans are
Speaker 1: good for your heart. That that has done being the
Speaker 1: bean industry and big bean conglomerate in for all of
Speaker 1: these years. But what I think is really happening here
Speaker 1: is Taco Bell is being proactive and in their Michigan
Speaker 1: restaurants they stop selling lettuce and cilantro and a couple
Speaker 1: of other issues or aup of the other items. And
Speaker 1: in these Taco Bell Michigan locations, they were trying to
Speaker 1: be decent about this so they didn't get more people sick.
Speaker 1: And the headlines are like Taco Bell investigated is let
Speaker 1: us emerges as possible source of this size cyclospariasis. The
Speaker 1: cyclospariasis outbreak. Is it tied to Taco Bell? Taco Bell,
Speaker 1: we all knew they gave you diarrhea, but we didn't
Speaker 1: know it was dispatch calling it explosive, too explosive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here's one right here, Taco Bell eyed an explosive diarrheal outbreak.
Speaker 1: Leafy Green suspected, but as far as I can tell,
Speaker 1: it's just something that started in Michigan, and Taco Bell
Speaker 1: was like, we don't want to be causing more problems,
Speaker 1: so let's stop selling this stuff at our locations. And
Speaker 1: they just blamed that.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this was something that somebody dispatched
Speaker 1: in or I read it somewhere, but they were saying
Speaker 1: Michigan was kind of an important factor in that, because
Speaker 1: I guess there are some food service companies or something
Speaker 1: that have like a hub in Michigan that ships a
Speaker 1: lot of their product out to a different states. So
Speaker 1: they were worried, like, Okay, if this is it in Michigan,
Speaker 1: that would be ground zero for some sort of like
Speaker 1: this and then spreads, and so that's why we were
Speaker 1: seeing it in Florida, we're seeing it in California. I
Speaker 1: think it's even further than that. Sea Lane, because I
Speaker 1: think this is one of those things that people are
Speaker 1: embarrassed to say they got. It was kind of embarrassing
Speaker 1: to say you had COVID for a little bit of
Speaker 1: a time, but more so, it's super embarrassing to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I got that parasite that gives you absolutely explosive diarrhea.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to admit to that. I think the amount
Speaker 1: of people who have this is zeros and zeros and
Speaker 1: zeros behind whatever they tell you it is I do.
Speaker 1: But they're having fun with this. Here's TMZ. Taco Bell
Speaker 1: probed all right, that's purposeful in explosive diarrhea outbreak and
Speaker 1: says might have to put a longer pause on those
Speaker 1: drunk late night Taco Bell visits. Because the explosive diarrhea
Speaker 1: parasite is starting to go national, and the fast food
Speaker 1: chain is under investigation for a possible connection to the outbreak.
Speaker 1: According to The Washington Post, the investigation is ongoing with
Speaker 1: leafy lettuce is the leading suspect and what's causing the
Speaker 1: outu break, but that doesn't mean other food items can't
Speaker 1: be ruled out. To be clear, investigation extends beyond Taco
Speaker 1: Bell locations with officials looking at various potential sources of
Speaker 1: the outbreak. As far as I know, the only connection
Speaker 1: is that Taco Bell said, we're going to stop serving
Speaker 1: up the lettuce because we think the lettuce is the
Speaker 1: source for the outbreak. Everybody else has lettuce too. Taco
Speaker 1: Bell was just kind of like being proactive and saying
Speaker 1: we're gonna pull it off. And for being proactive, everybody's
Speaker 1: like Taco Bell is doing this because all these outlets,
Speaker 1: TMZ is just one of them, but serious news outlets too.
Speaker 1: All they want to do is get clicks, so they
Speaker 1: will do this and do the direction target. Taco Bell
Speaker 1: is a second target for this. Yeah, it is kind of.
Speaker 2: Funny to me that the culprit right now, like the
Speaker 2: lead suspect in all this is leafy greens or specifically lettuce,
Speaker 2: like because you just think of like the no carb
Speaker 2: crowd or like the the I'm a man, I eat
Speaker 2: steak and drink stolely and that's my day, you know,
Speaker 2: and you're like, ah see, the salad is taking you down.
Speaker 1: This is what's responsible, you know, because that is bad.
Speaker 1: It's bad, it hurts, it's not good, but it's coming
Speaker 1: from produce. Like I said, I said this the moment
Speaker 1: the story popped out. I said, when people get sick,
Speaker 1: they get from They get sick from the produce because
Speaker 1: the produce is grown in places where a lot of
Speaker 1: times the feces from the animals, cows and pigs, it
Speaker 1: farms upstream, comes down into the water. If you've read
Speaker 1: Sinclair's The Jungle, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: But this is a long held thing that's actually true
Speaker 1: where the livestock uses the you know, they go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom. They don't actually go to the bathroom because
Speaker 1: they're cows. They just poop, poop and peep and it
Speaker 1: tumbles around and then it washes off into the water,
Speaker 1: and then the water ends up contacting the places that
Speaker 1: are growing the fruits and vegetables that you eat, and
Speaker 1: then that's how these things can get into the food,
Speaker 1: and so it ends up on this lettuce or whatever
Speaker 1: else that you're eating. And then the one company that goes,
Speaker 1: all right, we don't want more people to get sick
Speaker 1: than have to in Michigan is Taco Bell, and they
Speaker 1: just get drilled for it. Here's an email coming in.
Speaker 1: Let's get some of your feedback. Barry emails the show
Speaker 1: tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. As a doctor that
Speaker 1: treats almost exclusively bad backs, the info that you played
Speaker 1: that Trump gave out is misleading. Trump will talk about
Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham dying and saying the heart thing that killed him.
Speaker 1: Oftentimes the only symptom that you see is that your
Speaker 1: back hurts, and this Bury the doctor says that's misleading.
Speaker 1: Dissecting aortic aneurysms cause severe tearing back pain as it
Speaker 1: tears and ruptures right before death. But simply having a
Speaker 1: bad back does not at all indicate that you could
Speaker 1: have this problem. I've treated thousands of patients with bad
Speaker 1: backs over twenty five plus years, and absolutely zero of
Speaker 1: them have had this rare problem. Just don't want people
Speaker 1: out there with bad backs, which is more than half
Speaker 1: of us freaking out. Thank you Berry, good information. Thank
Speaker 1: you for the email. Collective sigh of relief from the
Speaker 1: bad back for me too, right out where many of
Speaker 1: us are in that mix. Let's do another dispatch here.
Speaker 1: This is Bland talking about the name change situation for
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt's daughterkies Hey.
Speaker 4: Name change stuff. First, I've been a family law paralegal
Speaker 4: for twelve years. Way too long, I know. But in divorce,
Speaker 4: the paperwork is already established for restoring former names and
Speaker 4: getting a marriage license has ways to do hyphenating your
Speaker 4: last name or taking other person's last name, or both
Speaker 4: of you making up a new last name we've go
Speaker 4: on together, or whatever. So that's family law related. What
Speaker 4: the Jolie Pit thing is doing is not. And it's
Speaker 4: different paperwork. Especially in California, which is where I do
Speaker 4: a lot of my paralegal work. It's separating you.
Speaker 10: Usually.
Speaker 1: Hey, by the way, let me just stop Bland for
Speaker 1: a moment here. These last two pieces of feedback on
Speaker 1: the show. This is is it man, This is what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. When you have some specialized knowledge on
Speaker 1: what we're talking about and you can add to the conversation,
Speaker 1: clarify things, and help people. These are the kinds of
Speaker 1: emails and dispatches I'm really looking for.
Speaker 4: Okay, use a different attorney. But the reason you post
Speaker 4: in the paper is kind of old school. It has
Speaker 4: to do with, say, she wants to be called John
Speaker 4: Jacob instead, and this four weeks is so any other
Speaker 4: John Jacobs in the area can come forth and give
Speaker 4: a reason for why it's not okay, and I have
Speaker 4: a bakery and everybody knows me this way, and she's
Speaker 4: going to take advantage or whatever. It's dumb excuse, but
Speaker 4: it's it's one of them anyways. That's why they do it.
Speaker 1: Okoy bye. That is the dumbest joke you're told in
Speaker 1: a while, but it got me. Don't be mad. Don't
Speaker 1: be mad. Thank you so much, Bland. That is good information.
Speaker 1: This is what I had in mind originally with the
Speaker 1: dispatch we can't miss again. In the past twenty years,
Speaker 1: I've been looking for good dispatches. I've finally found one.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bland. Appreciate that, all right, I appreciate anything.
Speaker 1: But yeah, let's see. Uh, I can't follow that up
Speaker 1: with one this bad I I Now, let's go to
Speaker 1: some TTS dispatches. Here's Shane with a TTS disc. We're
Speaker 1: back a plane to nowhere. Oh damn, I'm falling out
Speaker 1: of the window. Someone save me. He left out words
Speaker 1: in a script. He didn't even have all the right words.
Speaker 1: And maybe this one doesn't damn it. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: you can't preview the TTS dispatches. Whatever you do, don't
Speaker 1: play mine. Well, me and that flirty girl are going
Speaker 1: on a date, all right, thank you, Shane. So you
Speaker 1: get both sides of it with dispatches, get you get both.
Speaker 1: You get the helpful, you take the badge you do, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you get the good do you get the bad and
Speaker 1: then you you try to work them all in together,
Speaker 1: and some of them are just really bad. You know.
Speaker 2: It's been a fun watch today. As I scrolled through
Speaker 2: social this morning.
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 2: We talked briefly about that jay Z concert yesterday, the
Speaker 2: one that was supposed to be Sunday night but it
Speaker 2: turned out just being revery early Monday morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And now three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2: Now that all of the people who have attended it
Speaker 2: have slept it off, the videos are starting to hit social.
Speaker 2: I didn't see many of them yesterday because all the
Speaker 2: people that went to the show got home at four.
Speaker 1: Am and went to bed. Yeah, and our old friend
Speaker 1: de roy Al was there, Oh was he?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: He had he had some good videos to post. I
Speaker 2: saw the one where Eminem came out. That one was
Speaker 2: giving me the chills a little bit. I mean, he
Speaker 2: had a big show.
Speaker 1: The last one looked like the coolest one for jay Z,
Speaker 1: and it's prompted people to say that jay Z is
Speaker 1: being courted by the NFL to be the next super
Speaker 1: Bowl halftime performer, which is hilarious because he picked. Forward
Speaker 1: of people that has involved in picking the super Bowl
Speaker 1: halftime performer is led by jay Z. Be a real
Speaker 1: jeopardy situation if jay Z picked himself. This is like
Speaker 1: the cops investigating themselves the super Bowl performer version. But
Speaker 1: believe it or not, I actually think he would be
Speaker 1: He would be good at that and those shows seemed
Speaker 1: like they were probably a good time. Okay, I have
Speaker 1: to get a quick break in and then we'll do
Speaker 1: the pick aside. This one is an explosive video, not
Speaker 1: in the way of that last story, but in a
Speaker 1: totally different way, and it is lighting up the internet
Speaker 1: right now. But I want you to choose who is
Speaker 1: in the right well you pick aside. The clip that's
Speaker 1: going to start that conversation is coming up next on
Speaker 1: the News Junkie. We've had a bunch of pick asides
Speaker 1: as of late. I think they're fun. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: it's an interesting way to break things up during the show.
Speaker 1: And I was talking to some people early this morning
Speaker 1: and when I'm pitching the show or telling people what
Speaker 1: I feel about the news junkie radio show, the podcast,
Speaker 1: the live stream, I say, we'll talk about anything that's happening.
Speaker 1: I always you at like street corner radio. That's my
Speaker 1: my guiding you know, my north star. Since the very
Speaker 1: beginning of doing this show, way back when starting in
Speaker 1: West Palm on w JNO. This was twenty years ago,
Speaker 1: probably around then, starting around that time, my guiding north
Speaker 1: star for the show, for this show has been that
Speaker 1: I would say, if I could go downtown on a
Speaker 1: street corner and start talking about any of the topics
Speaker 1: that I want to talk about, would it build a crowd,
Speaker 1: would it hold the crowd? Would people be interested? And
Speaker 1: sometimes the answer is yeah, like some political stuff can
Speaker 1: do that, but mostly people want to talk about the
Speaker 1: thing that has them going that day, like it could
Speaker 1: be the bison video that the old man getting flung
Speaker 1: up in the air by the bison. Viral is a
Speaker 1: huge part of it. Hence why viral is at the
Speaker 1: center of this show. The world's most viral newsroom and
Speaker 1: all of those things. Nobody else is really trying to
Speaker 1: take that territory anyways. It's solely ours over here, so
Speaker 1: you know it's right for picking and plucking as far
Speaker 1: as I see. But since I've been doing this, I'm like,
Speaker 1: you got to talk about whatever the issues are, the
Speaker 1: things are that people care about in any given day,
Speaker 1: and then give them some stuff to break it up.
Speaker 1: If there's too much Mitch McConnell and you know, all
Speaker 1: these different political things going on, Lindsey Graham, DoD If
Speaker 1: there's too much of that in a row, people will
Speaker 1: start to get turned off. Pick a Side is a
Speaker 1: great way to just kind of throw something out there.
Speaker 1: It's a viral clip and we can all talk about
Speaker 1: who's right and who's wrong. The problem is the first
Speaker 1: pick a side theme song did not go over well.
Speaker 1: It went over as famously was the reasoning for the
Speaker 1: name of the band, like a led Zeppelin, right. It
Speaker 1: did not go over very very well. People thought that
Speaker 1: it was terrible. Those are the words that I heard terrible.
Speaker 1: So when you said them to yourself, I did not
Speaker 1: say them to myself. I wrote them down. Terrible song
Speaker 1: not going to stick to be To be fair, this
Speaker 1: is the first one. Wet and swampy me tell you
Speaker 1: take aside. I hate that it's growing on me now.
Speaker 1: But Seiling has a new pick aside theme. She said,
Speaker 1: to make it like a little more metal. I said, like,
Speaker 1: let's pick it up a little. You wanted like completely opposite.
Speaker 1: You want like a really like more hardcore manly pick
Speaker 1: aside more metal? What do you got for right?
Speaker 6: I like that?
Speaker 1: Who really held at it again? Oh you know it's crazy,
Speaker 1: I don't. They don't tell you why, so you just
Speaker 1: have to guess. And thank god I only wrote four lines.
Speaker 1: I typed that out and I was like, give me
Speaker 1: in lice, little metal thing. Let's make it pretty quick,
Speaker 1: let's have it up.
Speaker 2: And then I go to click make this, you know,
Speaker 2: create and it said it rejected me because there was
Speaker 2: copyrighted material in it.
Speaker 1: What copyright? There's only four lines in it? What you
Speaker 1: said about? I wrote, we're going on a ride. It's
Speaker 1: time to pick a side. Uh, no need to run
Speaker 1: and hide. It's time to pick a side. The no
Speaker 1: need to run and hide? I guess was enough that
Speaker 1: there was a line of a song I've never even
Speaker 1: heard of. All right, well, people, what do you think
Speaker 1: of this? Tell us if you think this is a
Speaker 1: good pick a side theme song for us? One more time.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to one thing. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's pick aside. This video is going mega viral right now.
Speaker 1: This is a guy at Jersey Mike's. Now do you
Speaker 1: support You got to pick a side here. Do you
Speaker 1: pick the side of the birthday girl or the Jersey
Speaker 1: Mike's employee. That is your decision today, friends, all right,
Speaker 1: the birthday girl or the Jersey Mike's employee. Let's watch
Speaker 1: the video in question that's getting some viral love. What
Speaker 1: you said, who are you talking to? Yeah? Who are
Speaker 1: you talking to? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I bet she won't say nothing. Now, Yeah, what you say,
Speaker 7: get the right?
Speaker 1: Please, that's what you say. No, I don't try to
Speaker 1: be nice.
Speaker 7: You said get the right. You said get the right.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on. They bleeped her f
Speaker 1: words very cleanly, and not his quite as much.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 1: Uh, first of all, see Lane, stay by the button.
Speaker 1: All right, stay by the button. I know we have
Speaker 1: like one more opportunity. But he said, uh, he said,
Speaker 1: back to what she was saying. She goes say it,
Speaker 1: say get the f out, say get the f out,
Speaker 1: say get that out. And he goes get the f out.
Speaker 1: He said, what his name was he said, I work
Speaker 1: for Jersey Mikes. He's looking directly into that kind of
Speaker 1: smart thing to do. I think it is all right,
Speaker 1: I think it is. Here's why, Sea Lane, here's why
Speaker 1: I'm already picking this guy's side. I have made the
Speaker 1: claim that we need to be more aware when people
Speaker 1: are filming us of what they're doing and what's happening,
Speaker 1: and we need to no longer talk to the person
Speaker 1: filming us and solely to the potential audience that that
Speaker 1: person is trying to get to. So you explain to
Speaker 1: them what's going on that they're not going to know
Speaker 1: outside of the context of this video. You got to
Speaker 1: go right to it and go, hey, here's the deal,
Speaker 1: here's here's what's happening right now. And you can even
Speaker 1: say click like I don't know, you say subscribe for
Speaker 1: part two, whatever you have to say. You're telling people
Speaker 1: to subscribe to her. Well I don't. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: want them to subscribe to her. Actually I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: But he's directly addressing the controversy in her camera, which
Speaker 1: I think is good. So she said say it now
Speaker 1: that we're going live here or that I'm recording, and
Speaker 1: he said, get the f out. Now, this is all
Speaker 1: about it being her birthday. We're gonna all buckle up
Speaker 1: and hope that there's not too many more curse words. Jersey,
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm gonna have to send this to you.
Speaker 1: I think I think I'm gonna have to send this
Speaker 1: to you. Is that? Okay, Pa, that's my that's my fault.
Speaker 1: That's my fault. Are people are already taking sides here,
Speaker 1: That's fine, I want you to do that. What we're
Speaker 1: going to do here is I'm going to send Celia
Speaker 1: in the video so that he could properly sense it censor.
Speaker 1: I tried to use the AI video but a video
Speaker 1: censorship thing that we have, but that wasn't successful. As
Speaker 1: you can tell, We've already had to hit the dump
Speaker 1: button twice. We don't have much more. Okay, I've got
Speaker 1: this is the full thing. Okay, this is the full thing.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send this to you. Celan. We're gonna censor
Speaker 1: it during this break, and we'll do it without interruption
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the next segment. That gives you
Speaker 1: enough time. Right, I'm sorry to throw this at you.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean too, but I want people to be
Speaker 1: able to hear everything, and I forgot that he was
Speaker 1: cursing so much and it didn't get all picked up.
Speaker 1: I'll share something else with you in the meantime before
Speaker 1: we get ready for that Pick a Side extended version,
Speaker 1: which we'll do next, and also Jury Duty in the
Speaker 1: next segment. I am now fully enthralled with this Senate
Speaker 1: campaign that's underway. I told you about this the other day.
Speaker 1: I told you I listened to the debate between this woman.
Speaker 1: She's like a sort of mainstream Democrat named Hailey Stevens.
Speaker 1: And the guy is like a DSA like democratic socialist.
Speaker 1: He's like a socialist dude. And they're they're very very different,
Speaker 1: you know. One is like a mainstream democrat. One is
Speaker 1: like very far left wing, ver very different ideas for
Speaker 1: what they want to do for the state of Michigan.
Speaker 1: But this woman, Hailey Stevens, there's something about her delivery.
Speaker 1: She seems nice, but she seems like very much like
Speaker 1: a Saturday Night Live character. Okay, okay, I'll give you this.
Speaker 1: I'll give you this. There's a little piece of audio
Speaker 1: for you before we get to the pick aside fully
Speaker 1: censored version. Here she is. This is representative Hailey Stevens.
Speaker 1: She's running for office in Michigan and this is one
Speaker 1: of her rallies.
Speaker 13: I am going to be working on our behalf. I
Speaker 13: am going to be telling the stories on our behalf,
Speaker 13: and you better believe I'm gonna be doing it with
Speaker 13: a little bit of joy, a little bit of enthusiasm,
Speaker 13: a little bit of energy, and a little bit of
Speaker 13: sicket to them.
Speaker 16: What is this accent she has, but it says you
Speaker 16: feel like a Chris Farley character something a little bit.
Speaker 1: I am gonna be representing him, and I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: it with a little bit of MUXI, a little bit
Speaker 1: of enthusiasm, a little bit of excitement. This is this lady,
Speaker 1: Haley Stevens. I kind of like her. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I kind of like her. I'll
Speaker 1: go back here.
Speaker 13: I am gonna be working on our behalf. I am
Speaker 13: gonna be telling the stories on our behalf, and you.
Speaker 1: Better believe I'm gonna be.
Speaker 13: Doing it with a little bit of joy, a little
Speaker 13: bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy, and a
Speaker 13: little bit of sicket to them.
Speaker 1: Because that's a she's even like double the like Chris Brook. Yeah,
Speaker 1: stick a tube, a little bit of sticket tube. Oh god,
Speaker 1: oh it's so great. There's something just so fantastic about this.
Speaker 2: Lady says, it sounds like that you're not happy, man, lady.
Speaker 1: You're not happy.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 1: Let me see. Let me let me do a side
Speaker 1: by side of these if you don't mind. Here's the
Speaker 1: lady who is in a parking lot yelling at somebody
Speaker 1: else saying, you're not happy.
Speaker 7: You're not happy, man.
Speaker 1: All right, you're not happy. You're not happy man. And
Speaker 1: then we have this particular lady, Haley Stevens, who's on
Speaker 1: the campaign trail right now trying to win sentence.
Speaker 13: I am going to be working on our behalf. I
Speaker 13: am going to be telling the stories on our behalf.
Speaker 13: You better believe I'm going to be doing it with
Speaker 13: a little bit of joy, a little bit of enthusiasm,
Speaker 13: a little bit of energy, and a little bit of
Speaker 13: sicket to them, because that's the Michigan way.
Speaker 1: I love this. Sticket to the bell on YouTube says,
Speaker 1: is she a girl's basketball coach on the side? Oh god,
Speaker 1: so there she is. But this is how a real
Speaker 1: person is, right. This is not like some polished character
Speaker 1: who has been put through the political machine and then
Speaker 1: plopped out the other side. That's like, here is what actually, No,
Speaker 1: this lady is I kind of like it a little bit.
Speaker 1: I want to know what you think. A little bit
Speaker 1: of sticking to him never hurt anybody, does it.
Speaker 13: A little bit of energy and a little bit of
Speaker 13: sticket to him because that's the Michigan way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is quick, breaking a character so hard like that,
Speaker 1: stick it to him the Michigan way. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll do the properly censored. I'll stop playing with fire,
Speaker 1: the properly censored pick a side. We'll get back into
Speaker 1: that and we'll do Jerry duty because that's coming up
Speaker 1: next on the news chunk Kie an announcement at the
Speaker 1: top of the hour is on the way when we
Speaker 1: kick off the Power Hour. I try to give you
Speaker 1: a pick aside, but I really gave too much credit
Speaker 1: to the AI censorship tool that we use for the show.
Speaker 1: And there's like random f bombs here and there, and
Speaker 1: so after two dumps, meaning of the censorship variety, like
Speaker 1: we have what do we have twelve seconds or so?
Speaker 1: It's ten we have ten seconds of like censorship dumps
Speaker 1: that we can use on the show and each one
Speaker 1: of them. We could do like we could do half
Speaker 1: or a hole. So usually just dump five seconds when
Speaker 1: the curse word went by, and then there's another one.
Speaker 1: You're like, ah, I dump another one. But when we
Speaker 1: run out then it becomes a major issue. So we
Speaker 1: can't risk the license on this fine radio station. So
Speaker 1: I said, let me just send it over to sea
Speaker 1: line and have him do it. So we'll do that
Speaker 1: in a second. You need some more time. I got
Speaker 1: start jury duty real quick, start jury udy infinite two Now, okay, perfect,
Speaker 1: I'll do jury duty in the meantime, here we go.
Speaker 4: Court is now in session, so put your phone down
Speaker 4: and pay attention before we call the bailiff over to
Speaker 4: with your ass.
Speaker 1: You're knowing jury duty with the news Junkie. Jury Duty
Speaker 1: brought to you by the one the only MO de
Speaker 1: Wit the Wit Law Firm. Injured on the go, just
Speaker 1: call MO eight hundred, Call MO eight hundred, call MO
Speaker 1: or go to Just CALLM dot com after an accident,

Speaker 1: for you, that's going to be on your side, that's
Speaker 1: going to support you and get you on the path
Speaker 1: to that big check that you absolutely positively deserve. That
Speaker 1: is Moses Dwit and just call Moo dot com or
Speaker 1: eight hundred call mo. That's the way to get there.
Speaker 1: So thank you for that. Appreciate you. I'm going to
Speaker 1: have this file from Seeland ready in just a second,
Speaker 1: but in the meantime, I'll give you a jury duty story.
Speaker 1: And this is kind of crazy to me. A same
Speaker 1: sex couple, a gay couple in Canada is suing the
Speaker 1: surrogate mother of their son. Now, the reason for this
Speaker 1: is just unbelievable to me, But this is an ugly
Speaker 1: feud that has broken out that's caused a bit of
Speaker 1: a well a giant legal issue. Really, here's the story.
Speaker 1: A same sex couple in Canada, A gay couple who
Speaker 1: is using a surrogate mother of their son for trying
Speaker 1: to have a child two years later after they were
Speaker 1: going to be doing this. They'ressuing her because she refused
Speaker 1: to abort the fetus. All right, this is crazy. In
Speaker 1: the lawsuit filed in Ontario, Canada, the parents allege the
Speaker 1: Ontario based surrogate failed to keep them apprized about the
Speaker 1: baby's health, put the child at risk, caused emotional distress,
Speaker 1: and violated their confidentiality. I mean, that's a little weird
Speaker 1: because to me, surrogacy is great. It could be a
Speaker 1: valuable thing to help families out. The people who do
Speaker 1: it could be it could be really an amazing thing
Speaker 1: for you to gift to another person. But they weren't parents.
Speaker 1: You're not a parent until you have a kid. She
Speaker 1: was the one who was pregnant with a child, right.
Speaker 1: The woman was pregnant with a child, because that's how
Speaker 1: that works, and she was going to give the child
Speaker 1: away to this couple to make it so they can
Speaker 1: live out their dream of having a baby, which they
Speaker 1: can't do without a woman. And that's all well and good,
Speaker 1: but there's the framing of this. It's like the parents, well,
Speaker 1: you know, these are the people who wanted to be
Speaker 1: the surrogate parents. Maybe the statement of claim does not
Speaker 1: specifically mention the couple's request in June twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: to terminate the pregnancy at twenty two weeks. How many
Speaker 1: months is that? That's pretty far along right there? Right?
Speaker 1: Six almost six months, five months, five and a half months,
Speaker 1: so she was five and a half months along the
Speaker 1: surrogate was and then they said, nah, we want you
Speaker 1: to abort it, and she goes, no, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to abort the child. Is I don't want to do that,
Speaker 1: but that's what they cut what the couple wanted. That's
Speaker 1: when everything changed. They wanted her to get an abortion.
Speaker 1: The surrogate insisted more tests be conducted, and after specialists
Speaker 1: indicated that the baby was a healthy child with a
Speaker 1: relatively minor birth defect, the couple agreed to let the
Speaker 1: pregnancy continue, but tensions escalated once again after the woman
Speaker 1: insisted on having a home birth as was agreed upon
Speaker 1: in their contract, and later filed a small claims lawsuit
Speaker 1: asking the parents to reimburse out of pocket expenses related
Speaker 1: to the pregnancy. Shortly after she filed the small claim suit,
Speaker 1: which has since gone to arbitration, the woman said she
Speaker 1: found out she was being sued. The Ontario woman told
Speaker 1: the National Post she first became interested in surrogacy after
Speaker 1: seeing two close friends struggle to conceive. I work in
Speaker 1: an awful place, said the surrogate. I see the worst
Speaker 1: humans in the world at the corrections officer job that
Speaker 1: she has, So she said she wanted to do something positive,
Speaker 1: and she said it started out positive, but then there
Speaker 1: was something that said that the fetus has or is
Speaker 1: likely to have a genetic, chromosomal or other abnormality or defect.
Speaker 1: So they wanted her to get an abortion, and she
Speaker 1: was like, no, I don't want to do that. The
Speaker 1: surrogate was in the Dominican Republic at the time officiating
Speaker 1: an international wrestling competition. I did not expect that to
Speaker 1: come along. She was less left devastated in a mess
Speaker 1: after receiving the letter. She ultimately decided she would have
Speaker 1: agreed to have an abortion if the baby had no
Speaker 1: chance of survival after birth, but was not comfortable terminating
Speaker 1: the pregnancy over what she considered largely a cosmetic defect.
Speaker 1: The parents then came to Toronto and they had a
Speaker 1: doctor said the baby will have no problem beyond a
Speaker 1: cleft lip. That was it. That was the reason why
Speaker 1: they wanted to eject this baby over like a cleft palate.
Speaker 1: Cleft lip they said, other than that, that won't be
Speaker 1: an issue. And also, as far as I know, I'm
Speaker 1: certainly no expert on this topic, but I believe the
Speaker 1: surgeries for cleft palates have become amazing and their success.
Speaker 1: It's something that's easily fixable. I think, yeah, that is
Speaker 1: not something that you, I think somebody should ever be
Speaker 1: really considering terminating a pregnancy over.
Speaker 2: It was kind of crazy that the couple was like, whoao,
Speaker 2: we only want a normal one. Let's flush this one
Speaker 2: and try again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll take a normal one. But she said the
Speaker 1: baby had some breathing problems upon delivery, but soon recovered
Speaker 1: when they administered oxygen. Then they She said she asked
Speaker 1: the couple to reimburse her for ten thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: outstanding expenses, including lost income from work during the pregnancy
Speaker 1: and contributions to her pension plan that she missed. She
Speaker 1: didn't hear anything back from them, and so they started
Speaker 1: to go at it. The lawsuit does not claim a
Speaker 1: specific amount of damages, but the surrogate says the plaintiffs
Speaker 1: have been indicated they're seeking about six hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: She says, you know I'm a single mom. You know
Speaker 1: I have a daughter, and you're basically suing me from
Speaker 1: my house. It seems very s word. It's just awful.
Speaker 1: I feel used. So they're suing her after all this,
Speaker 1: She goes, you didn't even want this baby. You guys
Speaker 1: try to get me to get rid of the cleft
Speaker 1: palate baby back and forth, a bioethics professor at the
Speaker 1: University of Calgary. So the case underscore is that surrogates
Speaker 1: are vulnerable under Canadian law, noting that it appears the
Speaker 1: parents in this case, the parents are punishing the woman
Speaker 1: for allegedly contravening their agreement. Moreover, they earlier sought to
Speaker 1: end the fetus's life for a medical condition that can
Speaker 1: be completely overcome by surgery and therapy. That's I would
Speaker 1: think about that. If the surrogate can tell you to
Speaker 1: do that kind of stuff, like the cleft palate baby
Speaker 1: needs to be eliminated, that's crazy that the surrogate would
Speaker 1: have any any say over that to begin with. I
Speaker 1: was wondering when you.
Speaker 2: Brought this up, if they do have any parts of
Speaker 2: the agreement for surrogacy that cover abortion. And I guess
Speaker 2: she did say she would agree to have one if
Speaker 2: the child was unlikely to survive after birth.
Speaker 1: M hm.
Speaker 2: But because this was what she felt to be a
Speaker 2: largely cosmetic birth effect, even though they said there was
Speaker 2: a minor heart condition involved. It was minor heart condition,
Speaker 2: uh huh, that's why she refused.
Speaker 1: So there was some genetic abnormalities, but not enough to
Speaker 1: make it so this child couldn't live like a nice
Speaker 1: rewarding life. Yes, right, Like, sometimes if you find out
Speaker 1: that this child is going to be so disabled that
Speaker 1: it's not going to be able to have the fulfilling
Speaker 1: life and maybe needs the assistance of humans or machines
Speaker 1: for the rest of their life, you have a different
Speaker 1: conversation about that. You have a different conversation based on
Speaker 1: your morals. But in this case, it was like the
Speaker 1: baby could be fine, and so they got into it
Speaker 1: back and forth. Very interesting. They're suing her. They're suing
Speaker 1: the surrogate mom for six hundred thousand dollars in this case.
Speaker 1: We'll see what you think, this says. The unusual sequence
Speaker 1: of events highlights the vulnerable position of Canadian surrogates, who
Speaker 1: are in high demand but legally barred from charging commercial fees.
Speaker 1: Unlike their counterparts in the US, they can only be
Speaker 1: reimbursed for received expenses. Most get pregnant simply to help others,
Speaker 1: but sometimes fail to get their cost paid or literally
Speaker 1: left holding the baby when the parents walk away. About
Speaker 1: one hundred families are looking for for a Segur curroguate
Speaker 1: for every one, willing woman ready to provide the service.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Tell us what you think. Send
Speaker 1: a dispatch over at the news Junkie dot com. I
Speaker 1: have the now censored clip for our pick aside. So
Speaker 1: here's the agenda. We're gonna take a quick break when
Speaker 1: we come back, an announcement for you, all right, an
Speaker 1: announcement about the show, and we'll work that in, and
Speaker 1: then we'll work in the actually censored pick a side
Speaker 1: that Selen has now prepared for us that is going
Speaker 1: to be coming up next. I'm the News junk Keye.
Speaker 1: Before we fire off the Power Hour, Selena has taken
Speaker 1: our next pick aside video and censored it. And we're
Speaker 1: sure this is not going to result in us losing
Speaker 1: our jobs now, right? Pretty sure? Okay? That's good. Andy
Speaker 1: also emails tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. Andy says, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: love the show and really liking the pick a side segments.
Speaker 1: I have a question about watching on YouTube. Has anybody
Speaker 1: else reported how the ads interrupt the show? I understand
Speaker 1: the need for ads, but your show is the only
Speaker 1: one I have this issue with. It's YouTube. It's like
Speaker 1: default stream thing multiple times a day during the show,
Speaker 1: the screen will split and an AD will come up
Speaker 1: on the right hand side. Just wanted to report watch
Speaker 1: some other live shows on YouTube that don't have this problem,
Speaker 1: says Andy. Well, Andy, here's the deal. If you are
Speaker 1: a subscriber over on the website, you can have the
Speaker 1: ad free stream if you're logged in on the news
Speaker 1: junky dot com. Hello to everybody watching that way, Hello,
Speaker 1: no ads, amazing, unbelievable, And the best way to do
Speaker 1: that is to be a secret show subscriber or to
Speaker 1: give some like sun State John just did with seventeen.
Speaker 1: Hell at them youge my gosh, huge seventeen gifted subscriptions.
Speaker 1: Thank god for Sunstate John. Yours could b next. Hopefully
Speaker 1: you support the show and just fire off one of those.
Speaker 1: Everyone counts. It's a huge, huge thing. Each one of
Speaker 1: them helps us to become more and more independent from
Speaker 1: the big radio corporations, So that is a good thing.
Speaker 1: We appreciated suns State John, and we appreciate everybody else
Speaker 1: for hanging out with us. Right now, let's do the
Speaker 1: power hours.
Speaker 6: Done.
Speaker 1: Then they said, yeah, you want to date my mom, Randy,
Speaker 1: here's what's gonna happen. That's two now to the crotch.
Speaker 1: It's time for the Power Hour on the News Chunky.
Speaker 1: I got that. It's like, is this older? Yeah, there
Speaker 1: we go, ran the Randy clip. It's the Randy clip.
Speaker 1: Here we go. Okay, quick announcements for you before we
Speaker 1: do the pick aside here that Selanda is finally properly
Speaker 1: censored in our Power Hour. I was talking a little
Speaker 1: bit today, strangely enough, about the history of this show.
Speaker 1: You know, the news Junkie as that as that product
Speaker 1: under that name started under a program director called Brian
Speaker 1: Mudd on w JNO, and I've been featured back on
Speaker 1: that station I think at some point in time. But
Speaker 1: great people over there gave me a shot. They said
Speaker 1: what can you do? And I said, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a demo. And I gave him a
Speaker 1: demo of what the first show would be. And I
Speaker 1: got into a fight with the mayor in one segment
Speaker 1: and was in a screaming match with her. I had
Speaker 1: interviewed one of Osama Bin Lawden's kids, I believe in
Speaker 1: another segment and we were talking about being Osamavan Lawden's
Speaker 1: child and the other segment have no idea what it
Speaker 1: was that was back when you burn it on a CD.
Speaker 1: So I burned the demo on the CD for the
Speaker 1: program directors, go over your speed dial for Osama bin
Speaker 1: Lund's kids. I don't know how of this happened. I
Speaker 1: have no idea it's true, true story though, And Brian
Speaker 1: Mudd goes, I got your demo. I want you to
Speaker 1: come in and talk about this, and he goes, this
Speaker 1: is you, like you did this and he's like, this
Speaker 1: is crazy. Let's just start. Let's just start you this weekend.
Speaker 1: Let's just do the show. Just say air this this weekend. Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: And that's where the show started on w jannel. And
Speaker 1: obviously I chased my tail around. And I have been
Speaker 1: working in radio for a very very long time, but
Speaker 1: now the goal is clear and focused and has never
Speaker 1: been so clear, and focusing on viral news and trying
Speaker 1: to aspire to do great talk radio every single day
Speaker 1: on the show and bringing that in front of as
Speaker 1: many people as possible. Why because I think you people
Speaker 1: will be super supportive. We have sponsors on the show
Speaker 1: and they're great, but I don't want to chase my
Speaker 1: tale around all day long trying to go after sponsors
Speaker 1: and keeping them happy. I want to be beholden to
Speaker 1: the audience. That's why we go to you for subscriptions
Speaker 1: at the newsjunky dot com. It's the direct way you
Speaker 1: can support us. That's where your money goes. It goes
Speaker 1: to us, you know, to help for all the expensive
Speaker 1: things around here for the show. So my idea is like,
Speaker 1: let's get this show in front of as many people
Speaker 1: as possible. I think people who love radio will love
Speaker 1: the show. And that turned out to be successful for us.
Speaker 1: And you know, about ten years ago, they lit up
Speaker 1: the show in my old market of West Palm Beach,
Speaker 1: put us on the great stations, Real Radio WZZR and
Speaker 1: Real Radio one on one seven WCZR. We've had a long,
Speaker 1: great relationship with them, and we pretty much just took
Speaker 1: over Florida rapid fast. We're our overall net in Florida
Speaker 1: is basically everywhere. And then we started getting traction in
Speaker 1: New York in the state of New York, and we
Speaker 1: were on a couple of stations. I think in Rochester.
Speaker 1: We've been on different stations in Rochester over the years.
Speaker 1: Now I think we're on WHAM, which is an awesome,
Speaker 1: amazing station there. Yes, the program directors and the folks
Speaker 1: in charge in Rochester are some of the biggest supporters
Speaker 1: of the show and have helped us out to spread
Speaker 1: this show more than almost anybody else. I previously had
Speaker 1: a boss who was trying her damnedest not to let
Speaker 1: me spread the show, which was my vision for doing
Speaker 1: all this, and stopping me at every single measure where
Speaker 1: I would make some progress, I would get a program
Speaker 1: director who I built a relationship with and said, hey,
Speaker 1: I would love the show to be on here too,
Speaker 1: and then they would shut it down and not even
Speaker 1: inform me that that happened, which is just unbelievably irritating
Speaker 1: and offensive in so many ways. But I won't go
Speaker 1: on about that too long. So we spread all over
Speaker 1: Florida in New York and had these program directors on
Speaker 1: board who had the same vision of getting the show
Speaker 1: in front of more people. And we've been on most
Speaker 1: of the types of stations that will have a show
Speaker 1: like this News Chunkie. We've been on most of the
Speaker 1: types of stations, you know, whether it be the freaking Dallas,
Speaker 1: Texas or there's only so many stations, there's only one
Speaker 1: other station really like this that we haven't been on,
Speaker 1: and that's the bone in Tampa. Shouts out to your
Speaker 1: friends over there, they should have us on. But it's
Speaker 1: a different company, right, It's not iHeartRadio, It's that's Cox Broadcasting.
Speaker 1: So the plan is to try to get in front
Speaker 1: of other formats, and you've got to have really brave
Speaker 1: program directors to say, let's take this show and let's
Speaker 1: put it on a news talk format. Let's do that,
Speaker 1: Let's let's see if it works. Let's do that. Because
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio is hundreds and hundreds of those radio stations, and
Speaker 1: so I said, if I'm going to sign this deal,
Speaker 1: I want us to be able to be autonomous from
Speaker 1: the company. I want us to be able to be
Speaker 1: beholden to the audience and try to build something brand
Speaker 1: new and broadcasting here, different than what everybody else is doing.
Speaker 1: But I want to know that iHeart really buys into
Speaker 1: the plan as well, and is.
Speaker 6: That we do.
Speaker 1: And we've got some people here. I got off the
Speaker 1: phone with Bob and Jeremy this morning, and they're amazing.
Speaker 1: There are people who love radio, who love broadcasting, and
Speaker 1: they're part of the next steps for the news Junkie,
Speaker 1: which is starting to spread the show. So it's time
Speaker 1: to tackle a new state, folks. What do you say?
Speaker 1: We got Florida and New York on the lockdown pretty much.
Speaker 1: I'd like to welcome in our brand new friends in Louisiana.
Speaker 1: That's right, what better place, everybody, Louisana. Welcome on board
Speaker 1: our friends over at WJBO. That's news Radio eleven fifty
Speaker 1: and ninety eight point seven FM in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Speaker 1: We are welcoming you into the news Junkie family. So
Speaker 1: good to have you on board with us. The bye,
Speaker 1: you junkie, You bet your ass. We are moving into
Speaker 1: Louisiana with a great parastations in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, News
Speaker 1: Radio eleven fifty and ninety eight point seven FM. We're
Speaker 1: so happy to be on with them and starting to
Speaker 1: spread this show even more. And then, you know, if
Speaker 1: that wasn't enough, the Cajun takeover continues with News Talk
Speaker 1: ninety nine to five w rn O in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: You know what that means, folks, that means for everyone.
Speaker 1: Don't you be promising to take us to New Orleans
Speaker 1: anytime soon? Because they're still waiting on those SunFest tickets.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, they'll they'll, they'll take us there. But
Speaker 1: Bama Jeremy believe in the show and they are the
Speaker 1: first of many announcements like this, Louisiana coming on board
Speaker 1: with stations in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana, the
Speaker 1: two big markets in the state who are picking up
Speaker 1: the show. That means that when you send in a dispatch,
Speaker 1: when you give stuff, when you do all of these
Speaker 1: different things. Now it's getting to an even larger audience
Speaker 1: of people. Now the folks in Louisiana are on board
Speaker 1: the Florida takeover. It took a while, but you know,
Speaker 1: we did it. We did it, and we did it
Speaker 1: with bells on and then New York just started to
Speaker 1: welcome us in with ts and the amazing people up
Speaker 1: there from iHeart who supported the show when not a
Speaker 1: lot of other people did. The people who have supported us.
Speaker 1: And by the way, West Palm, that market has stood
Speaker 1: by us so incredibly bravely over the course of this
Speaker 1: show and really went out on a limb to keep
Speaker 1: us there and made sure that they telled us like
Speaker 1: we love the show, we love what you're doing. So
Speaker 1: now we're moving over to Louisiana. With Baton Rouge and
Speaker 1: w RNO News Talk nine in Louisiana jumping on the
Speaker 1: show bandwagon. I think that's awesome. There's a lot lot
Speaker 1: more of this to come, and could we be live
Speaker 1: on Bourbon Street. Yes, I'm not.
Speaker 6: Breakfast.
Speaker 1: Come on, Selian's literally going there in a couple of months,
Speaker 1: so you'll be the first person on the ground in
Speaker 1: New Orleans. I'm going to make my Superdrivers put it on.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait until that spreads number one. But absolutely positively,
Speaker 1: I'm so excited about post. I know I've said this
Speaker 1: about SunFest for a millennia, I know, and when West
Speaker 1: pom Beach, but and going to New York too, But
Speaker 1: I want to do a show from the French Quarter.
Speaker 1: Oh god, we got to do it. Show.
Speaker 2: I have been to all these places independently, none of
Speaker 2: them with you, none of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean I'm going to the Keys. Strangely enough,
Speaker 1: while I'm there, maybe there'll be some other discussions going
Speaker 1: on about the show and the Keys. I know there's
Speaker 1: a lot of talk right now. And the one market
Speaker 1: really outside of Tampa that we haven't worked our way
Speaker 1: into in Florida is Miami, and there are very high
Speaker 1: level Miami conversations going on right now, and that it
Speaker 1: could open the door to the keys. So Seeland and
Speaker 1: I got to get out there a little bit, right
Speaker 1: We gotta press the flesh, start start talking to some
Speaker 1: people and picking up some accents, I guess, to see
Speaker 1: where we can go with this. But that's super exciting.
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled about it. The show continues to spread, and
Speaker 1: the pace of that is going to get a lot
Speaker 1: more rapid, folks. So there you go. Suggestion you should
Speaker 1: add a tab on the news junki dot com with
Speaker 1: all your stations. That's already in the works. I'm waiting
Speaker 1: for some more stuff to line up here, which will
Speaker 1: make sense to you, probably in the next couple of months.
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's pretty cool because I have a
Speaker 1: connection with New Orleans. I've been there a million times.
Speaker 1: I love New Orleans. Love it, love it, love it,
Speaker 1: love it. Almost got a house there at one point
Speaker 1: in time, right before the pandemic, Courtney and I were like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a place the problem. Yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get a second place. And look at you in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: Where we're going to it? Not not now, I mean Maybes.
Speaker 1: I don't know. The problem is the market there is crazy,
Speaker 1: and they got those shotgun houses. You know, a shotgun house,
Speaker 1: it's like the house has like you can see through
Speaker 1: from the front to the back. Basically it's like one
Speaker 1: hallway right down the middle. It's how a lot of
Speaker 1: houses in New Orleans were built. And uh, even like
Speaker 1: a small one is expensive. Although I'm learning the same
Speaker 1: is true for Key West because I just watched a video.
Speaker 1: These people live in a shotgun house in Key West.
Speaker 1: I think they're rented. They live in a shotgun house
Speaker 1: in Key West, and I said, this is a cool
Speaker 1: neighborhood where they are. And the house that they live
Speaker 1: in in Key West forty eight hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 1: My gosh, it was twelve hundred square feet sea ling
Speaker 1: forty eight hundred dollars a month. Was this something you
Speaker 1: were looking at to like rent for Airbnb? Or we
Speaker 1: were just trying to learn about the keys before we
Speaker 1: go down there, so it don't sound like too much
Speaker 1: of a dummy. That's the goal. You go there a bunch,
Speaker 1: you get to know the people, you make sure you
Speaker 1: don't screw some stuff up. And we were talking to
Speaker 1: him He goes, if you ever need to know how
Speaker 1: to say any of the parishes of the cities, because
Speaker 1: you email me and I said, oh, that's good. I
Speaker 1: said that's good. I said, you know why that's good,
Speaker 1: said Seilan. And I run into this all the time.
Speaker 1: We'll have somebody try to pronounce a road near where
Speaker 1: the show is based in Orlando, and the traffic people
Speaker 1: who aren't necessarily from here, We'll mention one of the
Speaker 1: roads and butcher the name and people will go nuts.
Speaker 1: So I had this happen to me in different markets too.
Speaker 1: I've had this is a big People get mad when
Speaker 1: you sound like a carpetbagger you don't know the places.
Speaker 1: So he said, reach out to me and contact me.
Speaker 1: I go, that's good because I think Seiland told me
Speaker 1: one time the Tampa people who are doing the traffic
Speaker 1: they had looked for a YouTube version of how to
Speaker 1: pronounce one of the things. I think somebody gave them
Speaker 1: a YouTube version.
Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that, like the YouTube version was the
Speaker 2: YouTube version was wrong? Because yeah, the people that put
Speaker 2: out content on YouTube that are all like, how do
Speaker 2: you pronounce this?
Speaker 1: How do you say that?
Speaker 2: They they are trying to flood their channels with so
Speaker 2: much content that that that it's just inevitable that they
Speaker 2: get some sort of pop from it. And sometimes they
Speaker 2: are wrong, But we don't.
Speaker 1: Want to do that. I'd rather say nothing and then
Speaker 1: get in there and say things you don't know. You
Speaker 1: start pronouncing things wrong. That's immediate carpetbaggers, and then they'll
Speaker 1: tell us get out of here, get out of here.
Speaker 1: We don't want you here. So we hope uh, they
Speaker 1: welcome us in. And what we're gonna do now is
Speaker 1: take a quick break. Then we'll finally do that pick
Speaker 1: aside that Seelane censored. It's sitting in front of me.
Speaker 1: It's ready to go. As the Power Hour rolls on,
Speaker 1: we'll do the Jersey Mike's pick aside. Then we'll push
Speaker 1: into the end of the show today. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for all your support. That's coming up next on
Speaker 1: the News Junkie, it's time for pick a side here
Speaker 1: with a brand new theme song. This one went over
Speaker 1: better than the last one. Just to refresh your memory.
Speaker 1: Now that Selane has the video censored and our jobs
Speaker 1: are secure, let's do another pick aside. Yeah, that's right
Speaker 1: back to Jersey Mikes. That's where we go. Jersey Mike's
Speaker 1: a little pricey, by the way, I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why this thing popped off.
Speaker 1: And it is a sub above, so I know I'm
Speaker 1: gonna need to compensate for that. And just recently Celan
Speaker 1: was I think pushed pushed Chick fil A out of
Speaker 1: the top spot for the best reviewed or like, you know,
Speaker 1: the most loved by their fans. Restaurant like Jersey Mike's
Speaker 1: has supporters and fans. Jersey Mikes is a little expensive though.
Speaker 1: We try to get some wraps the other night, and
Speaker 1: I think they were about eighteen dollars for a wrap,
Speaker 1: which was a little you were door dashing this though, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want no No, that was through the Jersey Mikes app.
Speaker 1: Cool he was trying to get. We just ended up
Speaker 1: making them ourselves. But uh, let's go into a Jersey
Speaker 1: Mike's and your pick, aside is choosing between the Jersey
Speaker 1: Mikes employee in the birthday girl, those are the two
Speaker 1: people battling here. Let's dive in finally for a censored adverse.
Speaker 1: Yeah who you talking to?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I bet you won't say nothing. Now, Yeah, what
Speaker 7: you say, get the out right.
Speaker 1: Please, thank you, that's what you. No, don't try to
Speaker 1: be nice.
Speaker 7: You said get the out right. You say, get the
Speaker 7: out right now get okay, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I like to please and thank you. He's
Speaker 1: talking directly to the camera. He's taking my advice. I
Speaker 1: think this is good. I think this is good. He's
Speaker 1: talking directly to the camera. He knows this woman is
Speaker 1: going to try to videotape this and make him look
Speaker 1: dumb or get him fired. He's like, here's my name
Speaker 1: on this employee. Though he might get in trouble for
Speaker 1: saying the curse word, I hope he does.
Speaker 8: Thank you because it's my birthday and I asked.
Speaker 9: You lose your job standing at the door, come on right,
Speaker 9: not saying thank.
Speaker 8: You, and whatch you lose your job? David broke ass's
Speaker 8: on my birthday? This time I get treated on my
Speaker 8: birthday at Jersey Night.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a little brutal to say after your birthday.
Speaker 1: What I'm gathering from this is she tried to go
Speaker 1: in and get a discount for her birthday that they
Speaker 1: couldn't really give her, and then she got mad. She
Speaker 1: was like, it's my birthday. Can I get a discount
Speaker 1: from Jersey Mike's. And then when he was she was
Speaker 1: pushing and pushing for this and he was saying no.
Speaker 1: She then pulls out the camera after he's like, get
Speaker 1: the f out of here because he's had enough of
Speaker 1: this woman.
Speaker 8: Thank you, keep going, and you're gonna have a whole lawsuit.
Speaker 7: You got the right whole.
Speaker 1: Laws, Yeah, lawsuit for what lady. He might he might
Speaker 1: not be looking that great with the cursing behind the
Speaker 1: counter age Jersey Mikes, and somebody might clutch some pearls
Speaker 1: and fire him over that. But what are you going
Speaker 1: to sue him for not giving you a birthday sub?
Speaker 1: Is this the level of entitlement that is spreading around
Speaker 1: right now? Is this the level of entitlement? Not only
Speaker 1: is the customer always right? Birthday girl, double right right?
Speaker 1: I want I want a free ass sub and I
Speaker 1: want it on my birthday. And don't you dare be
Speaker 1: angry about this?
Speaker 2: It looks like if you I mean, I'm assuming that
Speaker 2: she just went into the Jersey mic store and asked
Speaker 2: for her birthday sub without even doing any due diligence.
Speaker 1: Looks like they do have some sort of deal. What's
Speaker 1: the deal that you go to their your my MIC's account. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can start earning Mike's shout out, buy an ad please.
Speaker 2: You can start earning shore points, as in the Jersey Shore,
Speaker 2: so you earn subs with shot points. They got the
Speaker 2: You can use the app. That's probably the app you
Speaker 2: were when you were trying to do it. And it
Speaker 2: says birthday rewards. Celebrate with a sub, join our email
Speaker 2: club and enjoy a free birthday sub with the purchase
Speaker 2: of a regular sub.
Speaker 1: In the past year. All right, It sounds like if
Speaker 1: you purchased the sub of the past year, you can
Speaker 1: get the birthday sub and or free sub with a
Speaker 1: regular sub. Her man was with her, it's not his birthday.
Speaker 1: Maybe she couldn't prove it was her birthday. There's more
Speaker 1: in this. Let's get the end of it and see
Speaker 1: if it changes our mind, and we'll see who's side
Speaker 1: we pick.
Speaker 8: If you don't need no money, yeah, a whole lossuit.
Speaker 6: Thank you? Get again.
Speaker 7: You should know what we order.
Speaker 1: I don't remember facing.
Speaker 7: You don't remember faces?
Speaker 1: What kind of sounds are you? You don't is your
Speaker 1: manager right here? She came back.
Speaker 8: Okay, so you're the manager. So yeah, corporate will be called. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 8: you can give me the.
Speaker 1: Number, give give us.
Speaker 2: You know, she sounds like Sherry Shepherd. She does a
Speaker 2: little bit, Yeah I can, but not like it, not
Speaker 2: like just like regular Sherry Shepherd. I'm talking like Sherry
Speaker 2: Shepherd when she played Tracy Jordan's wife in thirty Rock.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I could hear that. She's think she thinks
Speaker 1: she's right. I think, yeah, I think so, unless you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to apologize and correct yourself. So maybe you're
Speaker 1: down that path. But when I hear this, I hear
Speaker 1: a woman who's so confident that she's in the right,
Speaker 1: and it sounds like, for whatever reason, he didn't want
Speaker 1: to give her the deal. I'm guessing that there was
Speaker 1: much more to this that fired him off. That's always
Speaker 1: the case. But it's still a couple more seconds. You
Speaker 1: very lucky.
Speaker 8: Let me just tell you that, very lucky, very lucky,
Speaker 8: very very.
Speaker 7: You're not going to do anything?
Speaker 1: Yeah you really?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 7: Okay? Thank you?
Speaker 1: Okay. I don't know what we've started this or what
Speaker 1: came before this. We never see her, is that her?
Speaker 1: That's her man? Okay, we see her man at the end,
Speaker 1: or what happens like in between the cuts of this video.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't understand what the big deal is
Speaker 2: at the moment right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she is so upset at this guy for not
Speaker 1: giving her some sort of deal on her birthday. But
Speaker 1: I don't imagine that this guy's in the business of
Speaker 1: just being mean to people on their birthdays and not
Speaker 1: giving them the deal that he's supposed to give them.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna think that this lady, like a lot of
Speaker 1: other crazy bitches that go into these places and freak
Speaker 1: out and have a meltdown, probably freaked out and have
Speaker 1: a meltdown, was rude as hell to this person. And
Speaker 1: she's saying over and over and over again. Then she
Speaker 1: gets him to go back to the cash register and
Speaker 1: he's gonna pretend like he doesn't know her and just
Speaker 1: do the order, and she's still like, well, ying. But
Speaker 1: there's a level of customer bullying that happens in these cases.
Speaker 1: I can smell it from a mile away. I feel
Speaker 1: like this is what happened in this case. I feel
Speaker 1: like this was a customer bullying. The person was like,
Speaker 1: if I complain enough, I'm used to getting my way.
Speaker 1: I'm used to going into Applebee's or Chili's and at
Speaker 1: the end I just say the food sucked, and they
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with me as a pain in
Speaker 1: the ass, so they give me the thing comped. You know,
Speaker 1: this is sort of what's going on. It's the annoying customer.
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry. I'm always going to side with the employee.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I picked the employee, even though I wish
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have cursed. I wish you wouldn't have stooped
Speaker 1: to the level of cursing at her, because he's going
Speaker 1: to have some problems with that, even if he is
Speaker 1: the manager. I choose the employee. How about you, Celing,
Speaker 1: I kind of side with the employee here. You don't
Speaker 1: just get to go in and get the free birthday
Speaker 1: stuff if it's not their thing. Also, somebody on the
Speaker 1: texting service said she doesn't need to be mad at
Speaker 1: the guy. She used to be mad at her man
Speaker 1: for taking her to Jersey Mics for her birthday hoping
Speaker 1: for a discount. That is true. Yeah, so you let
Speaker 1: us know. You pick a side, folks, that's what this
Speaker 1: is about. And do you choose the Jersey, Mike Sky
Speaker 1: or the Birthday Girl. On the way out, we'll get
Speaker 1: to your emails and your dispatches, and then we'll wrap
Speaker 1: everything up with the final dispatches stories that didn't make
Speaker 1: the cut. And today I learned to wrap everything up
Speaker 1: for a say wrap up, to cleose everything down for
Speaker 1: a share of the show Tuesday. That's coming up next
Speaker 1: in the news Chunky, wrap it up. It's been fun,
Speaker 1: it's been a good time. But we only have a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes left before we wrap everything up here
Speaker 1: on the show. Let's see if there's anything that we
Speaker 1: missed worth going over. We'll get into your final dispatch.
Speaker 1: I did see Snopes has now gone to the level
Speaker 1: of tackling the Mitch McConnell thing. Is this Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: photo real? There's no evidence of AI despite claims it
Speaker 1: was the photo of him in the hospital, Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: with his wife, and Snopes is landing on like there's
Speaker 1: no evidence that it's AI. They didn't say it was real,
Speaker 1: because you can't really confirm that something's real so much,
Speaker 1: but they utilized all the different AI tools and showed
Speaker 1: that it didn't look like AI. Still I think, and
Speaker 1: I wish I would have gotten to more of your
Speaker 1: responses on this on ways that you can prove that
Speaker 1: you're still alive in twenty twenty six, but we'll have
Speaker 1: to do that for tomorrow.
Speaker 2: So weird how Snopes is probably one of the older
Speaker 2: websites that a lot of us, you know, still read occasionally.
Speaker 2: But they just started like a fun little thing about
Speaker 2: urban myths and now have somehow morphed that into being
Speaker 2: like a litmus test on what's real and what's fake.
Speaker 2: Like if something is fake, you're gonna believe it, right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think they got a pretty good name for themselves.
Speaker 1: Some people see some bias here and there, but I
Speaker 1: think generally they're pretty well received. Here's another thing it's
Speaker 1: worth mentioning. A fitness influencer is under fire after running
Speaker 1: a five K while at a World Cup game by
Speaker 1: standing in his seat and doing circles over and over
Speaker 1: and over again until he got to the five k mark.
Speaker 1: He completed it before the game ended, but was bumping
Speaker 1: into people around him the entire time. His whole mission
Speaker 1: was running a five K in his own seat at
Speaker 1: the World Cup. These are the people who should be
Speaker 1: publicly executed by the way right, the tickets to the
Speaker 1: World Cup not cheap, and you decided to take that apart.
Speaker 1: You take that opportunity to run a fake ass five
Speaker 1: ko standing on his seat like spinning around everybody around
Speaker 1: you paid for a seat. Stop please stop. Our world
Speaker 1: is better than this. Our world has to be better
Speaker 1: than this. And let's see if there's anything else worth
Speaker 1: mentioning here. Oh, they have revealed the first look at
Speaker 1: the Charlie Kirk monument. I don't know. I don't know this.
Speaker 1: Whoever does these bronze statues is so I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not fantastic. Now you'll see it out there.
Speaker 1: There's a statue going up of Charlie Kirk here, it says,
Speaker 1: handcrafted by renowned Italian sculptor Sergio Fernani. The planned a
Speaker 1: veiling of the Charlie Kirk Marmon Monument of Times Score
Speaker 1: LASO required permit. The sculptor has stated he will not
Speaker 1: seek one. The project has no official endorsement from Turning
Speaker 1: Point USA or Kirk's family. But the guy made the statue,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just kind of kind of ugly. It
Speaker 1: doesn't look great. Let's can't play that. Uh, that'll have
Speaker 1: to do. A new broadcasting guidelines ahead of these next
Speaker 1: summer Olympics say that the Olympics broadcasters can no longer
Speaker 1: show the female competitors from certain angles, and then they
Speaker 1: show the angles that you're supposed to avoid, like from
Speaker 1: behind butt shots in their bikinis, or like track and
Speaker 1: field bending over. I guess the guidelines highlight shots for
Speaker 1: broadcasters to avoid when the Olympics returns next time.
Speaker 2: Does that mean it'll just be easier to be a
Speaker 2: cameraman for the men's one. You know, you don't have to.
Speaker 1: Worry about the rules. Yeah, maybe they don't want the
Speaker 1: cross shots either. I don't know what they're looking for,
Speaker 1: but we'll find out. We have time for a final dispatch,
Speaker 1: No we don't. Unfortunately we don't. It's time to get
Speaker 1: the hell out of here. Let's do today. I learned
Speaker 1: the following information may make you feel smarter, but will
Speaker 1: not actually increase your IQ. So don't get cocky.
Speaker 12: Now it's done.
Speaker 5: What we call today, it is today.
Speaker 1: I learned for a Tuesday, July fourteen to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: An email coming in real quick. I'm a Cajun A
Speaker 1: true Cajun from South Louisiana Baba living from Florida for
Speaker 1: the past five years. I'm original from Huma, which is
Speaker 1: now our south of New Orleans. But I could tell
Speaker 1: you what the Louisiana people in our southern hospitality think.
Speaker 1: They will be very welcoming to you. Let me know
Speaker 1: if you need any advice on what's good to eat,
Speaker 1: says this emailer. All right, thank you for that. Appreciate that.
Speaker 1: A lot of other questions coming in. We don't have
Speaker 1: time to get to them, unfortunately. I mean, just you
Speaker 1: know what I'll do, I'll mark this as unread. Otherwise
Speaker 1: I'll totally forget mark as unread. Isn't that an option?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe not right now, we'll get out of here.
Speaker 1: Here we go today. Learned before the Black Plague, Before
Speaker 1: the Black Plague, everybody remembers that one women brewed as
Speaker 1: you remember it. But yes, I wasn't alive. Women brewed
Speaker 1: the majority of ale and ran the majority of ale
Speaker 1: houses in England. Actually, ale wife was one of the
Speaker 1: first ways they referred to people who made beer. A
Speaker 1: woman that keeps an ale house also some synonymous with
Speaker 1: the word brewster, which I used to call them back then,
Speaker 1: oh like punky brewster. Yeah, ale wife is now commonly used,
Speaker 1: and translations of ancient text to refer to a woman
Speaker 1: who brewed and sold ale, dating back to the beginning
Speaker 1: of recorded history. Antony learned these guys ready.
Speaker 5: Mus, that's right, mused the van Mus one of fifty
Speaker 5: well no at a zero five hundred thousand euro lawsuit
Speaker 5: against Nesley.
Speaker 1: And when they got that sweet sweet Nestley money over
Speaker 1: the lawsuit, they donated one hundred percent of the proceeds
Speaker 1: to a charity. They didn't want to make the Nestley
Speaker 1: cash in a bad way. So there you go. Thank
