Speaker 2: My oh my, it's one of those days.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a lot to go through today, so
Speaker 1: let's do exactly that I did see. And I'm just
Speaker 1: it's the only review so far that I've been interested in,
Speaker 1: so I just I did want to just get a
Speaker 1: little little bit of an update. But I saw from
Speaker 1: your Instagram Sea Lane that Jackson made his way to
Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel. Yeah, post post all these controversial changes at
Speaker 1: the Rackerberre. Did Jackson? Did Jackson way in on this?
Speaker 1: He was like, I can't believe it. This place used
Speaker 1: to be the Country Store. What is this? Woke? Where's
Speaker 1: my uncle Hershel? Where's he at?
Speaker 3: The uncle Herschel favorite came back, I have a catfish,
Speaker 3: got a cat fish and eggs on over the weekend.
Speaker 3: I kind of forgot because of the whole Cracker Barrel thing,
Speaker 3: Like when we were talking about it, everybody's big deal
Speaker 3: was the logo and then they rolled back the logo thing,
Speaker 3: but they still did the inside. So you can't really
Speaker 3: see it in this picture though. I'll send you the
Speaker 3: other picture that I have, and you can see, like
Speaker 3: it's a lot more opened in there now.
Speaker 4: Just like what they did with our offices here at HQ.
Speaker 1: People will socialize more. It's because there's people socializing always
Speaker 1: around there. I do like this photo of him, though,
Speaker 1: and I noticed it's hard to tell from Sea Lane's
Speaker 1: Instagram photo of Jackson at Cracker Barrel for the first time,
Speaker 1: but Jackson is wearing a grateful dead shirt. He's wearing
Speaker 1: he is a dead head. He's the littlest dead head
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, not his first time at Cracker Barrel. He
Speaker 3: has been to the old Cracker Barrel.
Speaker 1: Oh good, yeah he did. He did. He make a decision.
Speaker 1: Then well, my wife.
Speaker 3: Weighed in on and she's like, they even changed the
Speaker 3: high chair for the baby, and I go, how do
Speaker 3: you know that? She goes the old high chairs looked
Speaker 3: like big old rocking chairs, but in high chair form,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, no, they didn't know, what are you
Speaker 3: talking about? And she pulled up other pictures from the
Speaker 3: last time we.
Speaker 5: Were going with a rocking chair for babies. That's impossible
Speaker 5: to feed that.
Speaker 2: It looked like a rocking chair.
Speaker 3: It just had it had like the the wood.
Speaker 1: On the sides and the top. And this is just
Speaker 1: a regular old high chair. I gotta tell you a
Speaker 1: little bit awesome if it literally was rocking. So the
Speaker 1: kid had to like work for his.
Speaker 4: High chair, sounds very dangerous.
Speaker 1: Well, he seems to have enjoyed him. So the other
Speaker 1: picture that I just sent you, all right, hang on,
Speaker 1: is this okay? This is Jackson? Oh there you can
Speaker 1: see more of the restaurant there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look look at him.
Speaker 1: But then like it's cute you see, like between the
Speaker 1: little separators that used to be just covered in crap,
Speaker 1: you covered in the knickknacks and Patty white wax. It's
Speaker 1: going to sound like you.
Speaker 2: And then they've kind of they went they took it
Speaker 2: back a bunch.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I like it. You know, it's a Russ rusty.
Speaker 1: It feels brighter, feels bright something. This kid looks like
Speaker 1: trouble he does. I can see exactly like he looks like, uh,
Speaker 1: he's he looks like he's got someone's mind. I don't
Speaker 1: know what he's got going on, but he looks like
Speaker 1: he's up to something. There's gonna be the before photo.
Speaker 1: They're like usually local kid burns down seventy six cracker barrels.
Speaker 2: Who could have seen it coming?
Speaker 4: And you's a nice guy. Didn't really do anything neighborhood, just.
Speaker 1: Like to listen to his grateful dad. He would turn
Speaker 1: it up, you know, to sing along to that. All right.
Speaker 1: There he goes a little Jackson at Cracker Barrel this weekend.
Speaker 1: Let's start off as we always do. Let's put our
Speaker 1: ears to the ground, our fingers in the pols as
Speaker 1: he was having to this great, big, wide.
Speaker 2: World of ours. And we go to a bar and
Speaker 2: oh hi, oh.
Speaker 1: Who this was the bar as team USA secured a
Speaker 1: victory in the Olympic gold medal game to wrap up
Speaker 1: the Olympics. I want to get your first thoughts on
Speaker 1: this after I play our opening clip here listening everybody here,
Speaker 1: We go to a bar in Ohio as the US
Speaker 1: scored pandemonium. My okay, initial thought when you see.
Speaker 4: This party time.
Speaker 1: Shop love to be there. Yeah, nightmare is what I think.
Speaker 1: It's like eight billion people crammed into this bar. People
Speaker 1: are swinging around American flags. They're just shoulder not even
Speaker 1: shouldered as shoulder, that's not even close enough. That literally
Speaker 1: on top of each other. Ohio at this bar, is.
Speaker 5: There a lot of like Ohio hockey players on the
Speaker 5: US team.
Speaker 2: Ohio is big into hockey.
Speaker 1: It's a big hockey state, I think, and it seems
Speaker 1: like they were real focused on what was going on here.
Speaker 2: But this is a no from me.
Speaker 1: I mean, I I love America. I want America to win.
Speaker 1: I'm glad we beat the Dan Canadians. Send it back
Speaker 1: with their little stuffed animals or whatever.
Speaker 2: But oh my god, people.
Speaker 1: Are throwing stuff up in the air, Beers are flying everywhere.
Speaker 1: They're saying, that's a party over on chat. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a party, but it's a nightmare par party.
Speaker 5: I'm going to I'll tell you that I have anxiety
Speaker 5: just looking at this clip.
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that. I don't want to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: We'll get into more of what happened with the wrap
Speaker 1: up the Olympics and all the US men's hockey stuff
Speaker 1: and everything else. I did have one backup opening clip
Speaker 1: that I figured I'll just share with you guys, as
Speaker 1: I always do. Anyways, this was an interview in del
Speaker 1: Ray Beach, beautiful del Ray. It's nice down there, nice
Speaker 1: spot there in Florida and South Florida, and an interviewer
Speaker 1: was talking to a tennis player.
Speaker 2: Made a little bit of a.
Speaker 1: Mistake in her question that she asked, let's listening to
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 6: You've played Flavio three times and you've had sex success with.
Speaker 4: Him all three times.
Speaker 1: Why is it that you have had such success against Sebastian.
Speaker 1: He's a good looking guys. Well done, sir, she says,
Speaker 1: you've played for Sebastian six times. You have you've had
Speaker 1: sex with him, which I mean news to this guy probably.
Speaker 5: Unless which is we don't know what's going on here sex.
Speaker 2: What is that implying.
Speaker 6: You've played Flavio three times and you've had sex success
Speaker 6: with him all three times. Why is it such success
Speaker 6: against fashioned.
Speaker 1: Is a good looking guys. So you know there's no
Speaker 1: getting around that once you've said it.
Speaker 5: But rivalry author is just like, all right, we've got
Speaker 5: our fourth seasons.
Speaker 1: I like how this guy was just like, well, it's
Speaker 1: out there. She said it. There's no she muscled through too.
Speaker 1: I have to give it to her. There they go.
Speaker 1: That's the tennis where that gets. I started on a
Speaker 1: lovely Monday here on the show, where as I said,
Speaker 1: it's a fire and ice kind of monday. Here, I
Speaker 1: got dueling alerts from my next door that say there's
Speaker 1: gonna be fires because it's it's dry outside, and then
Speaker 1: I got alerts saying cold freeze. That is going to
Speaker 1: get freezing cold in the next twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: I'm viewing this like.
Speaker 1: A movie where on one side there's you know, the
Speaker 1: people with the blue ice gun, and on the other
Speaker 1: side there's people with a big flame throwing gun and
Speaker 1: they're they're warring at each other, or like Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones with the fire and ice dragons having at each other.
Speaker 2: It looks like this is gonna be.
Speaker 1: A weird one, and it's really really strange for those
Speaker 1: of you in New York. I mean lockdown, lock down
Speaker 1: all over New York. Whenever there's a blizzard like this,
Speaker 1: they will tell you stay at home, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1: Only people who should travel and who are like necessary
Speaker 1: i e. Radio hosts. Ah, yes, yeah, we do indeed
Speaker 1: have permission to drive around in moments like these, but
Speaker 1: most people are not supposed to do that, so there's
Speaker 1: like travel bands. Everybody's stuck at home. Hopefully you're hanging
Speaker 1: out with us. If you're in one of these places
Speaker 1: locked into the snow a cane up there in New
Speaker 1: York City, not a good time, but yeah, just wild
Speaker 1: to see this is Massachusetts. This is this morning, six am, Plymouth, Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: when the snow acane was hitting. Let's just listen in here.
Speaker 1: Oh oh gosh, it's getting strong here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: I'd rather be at that bar in Ohio. True, damn
Speaker 1: month and that's a six hour winds Yeah wow, yeah
Speaker 1: wow is right. Yeah, this is really pounding down there
Speaker 1: is this major winter storm hits the Northeast with blizzard
Speaker 1: warnings in effect the National Weather Service services. It's bringing
Speaker 1: heavy snow, high winds, blizzard conditions, and coastal flooding across
Speaker 1: the mid Atlantic and Northeast. They're predicting eighteen inches to
Speaker 1: two feet of snow along the East Coast. That ain't
Speaker 1: nothing to sneeze at. New Jersey lockdown, don't go anywhere Jersey,
Speaker 1: Long Island, lock down, don't.
Speaker 2: Go anywhere Long Island.
Speaker 1: They tell everybody to stay home because wind gusts are
Speaker 1: going from forty to seventy miles per hour.
Speaker 2: In some of these areas.
Speaker 1: It is a damn snow a cane and we'll see
Speaker 1: check in with us if you're in one of these
Speaker 1: places watching the show in the world's most viral newsroom
Speaker 1: here today I'd love to hear from you. What a
Speaker 1: time to be freezing cold at least for the next
Speaker 1: little bit. Is this the end though? Is it?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Courdy was like, this is gonna be the last blast
Speaker 1: of cold, I hope.
Speaker 4: So that's what I said two blasts ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe, yeah, I mean, I never know. This is
Speaker 1: around the time every year that we started doing this,
Speaker 1: So is this it?
Speaker 7: This is it?
Speaker 1: We don't know. I did.
Speaker 3: I ran into a friend on the way uh, you know,
Speaker 3: at the wall wall, and we were talking about the
Speaker 3: weather and I was like, it was very weird that
Speaker 3: Saturday I was in the pool and now to this morning,
Speaker 3: my heat is on. Yeah, there was a quick, little
Speaker 3: hot snap.
Speaker 2: There was a moment where Courtney.
Speaker 1: Yesterday she was like, oh, I'm exhausted because I made
Speaker 1: her watch this this TV show and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's good.
Speaker 2: You got to check this out.
Speaker 4: Exhausted her.
Speaker 1: It was the movie in the nineties. You're gonna love it.
Speaker 1: You're gonna love It's called Lord of the Flies. And
Speaker 1: I said, the BBC did a new version of Lord
Speaker 1: of the Flies is from the adolescents guy and oh
Speaker 1: my nor fat, How did the mates so why can't
Speaker 1: what do you make Lord of the Flies good? I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: I tried watching one of the old ones that was
Speaker 3: Forever Ago, and I was because I liked the book
Speaker 3: was interesting when we I think I there was two
Speaker 3: different times in grade school where we had to read
Speaker 3: Lord of the Flies. I think that was a lot
Speaker 3: more descriptive when we did it in high school than
Speaker 3: middle school. There were some things they brought up in
Speaker 3: high school that I was like, I don't remember them
Speaker 3: talking about this last time around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a fun story. The book is good. It's
Speaker 1: about these kids who are flying around in the fifties.
Speaker 2: They're going to escape nuclear war.
Speaker 1: They get on a plane, the plane crashes, only the
Speaker 1: little kids survive. It's like a choir group and some
Speaker 1: other kids, and they're all different, varying ages. And the
Speaker 1: idea was is asthmar? Yeah, And the idea was is
Speaker 1: is violence sort of inherent in young boys in young
Speaker 1: culture no matter where you come from, or was like
Speaker 1: Western in European culture somehow civilized and they wouldn't have
Speaker 1: any problems if they were stranded working with each other
Speaker 1: as young kids. Like this, it's about young boys working
Speaker 1: with each other. It's about a million different things like that.
Speaker 1: Oh my bar fast, and Courtney goes, I think I
Speaker 1: need to tick anap. I'm getting I'm really tired, and
Speaker 1: I go, all right, listen to let's turn Piggy TV
Speaker 1: off here, and I turn it off. And when we
Speaker 1: go to lay down, it was seventy seven degrees and
Speaker 1: by the time we went to walk, lady, I think
Speaker 1: it had dropped almost twenty. Oh, I think it's fast, fast.
Speaker 4: To just I didn't dive down.
Speaker 5: Turned my heat on last night and the house was
Speaker 5: sixty three degrees. Outside was a good forty nine. But
Speaker 5: every single animal was at the bed shivering.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I messed up as a pet mom.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's cold cold for all involved.
Speaker 1: And in New York City, New York Jersey, everybody down
Speaker 1: the East Coast, we feel for you today. We know
Speaker 1: that the travel band was extended down all along the
Speaker 1: tri state.
Speaker 4: AREASA so pissed pre.
Speaker 1: TSA was shut down for a little while, and then
Speaker 1: they said, maybe it's back up. We'll get into that
Speaker 1: hole back and forth in a bit real quick. Let's
Speaker 1: start off with a couple of emails. Steven emails tips
Speaker 1: at the Newsjunkie dot com. Hey Sean, he says, Just
Speaker 1: to show you, I attached the screenshot. This is about
Speaker 1: the podcast. The last two podcasts are a lot better

Speaker 1: Michelle there and as Steve emails and he says, hello, all,
Speaker 1: I'm a podcast listener. I wanted to comment about poker
Speaker 1: being a sport. The one thing that most people don't
Speaker 1: realize is you're playing against almost ten thousand players.
Speaker 2: You have to go through before the final table.
Speaker 1: He says. Well, I used to play in college for
Speaker 1: extra money, and sometimes you have to be in on
Speaker 1: a game for ten to twelve hours. It takes a
Speaker 1: lot of mental toughness. Also, when's the next merch drop?
Speaker 1: He says, And then he asked about Fritz on the street.
Speaker 1: Thank you appstely loved the show, says Steven. All right, Steven,
Speaker 1: all right, everybody, let's get fired up. We got a
Speaker 1: big day at a big show ahead of us. We'll
Speaker 1: try to stay warm together when we come back. There
Speaker 1: was a man with a gun and a can of
Speaker 1: gas at mar A Lago. Epstein brought him there. He says,
Speaker 1: What the hell went down this weekend? I got the
Speaker 1: press conference, I got all the juicy stuff.
Speaker 2: We'll find out together.
Speaker 1: What was happening here and that is coming up next
Speaker 1: on the News Junkie. We'll get into this mar A
Speaker 1: Lago incident over the weekend, which was crazy. Another finding
Speaker 1: out some text messages that this guy who ended up
Speaker 1: getting shot by authorities as he approached mar A Lago
Speaker 1: with a shotgun and in a gas can. I've got
Speaker 1: the press conference and all of that stuff here in
Speaker 1: just a moment. I wanted to share something with you though,
Speaker 1: because I was talking about this this weekend Courtney's parents
Speaker 1: and Courtney and I went out to dinner and we're
Speaker 1: hanging out, and I said, you know, of all the
Speaker 1: things that have made me feel old, there was one
Speaker 1: thing in the last week or so that has made
Speaker 1: me feel old. And this was bdmp over on Twitter
Speaker 1: slash x, who sent over what's going on in schools
Speaker 1: right now? For the social studies fairy right? Social Studies Fair? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess they have a science fair and then a
Speaker 1: social studies fair. Now never heard of the second thing? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this one you have to pick like you had to
Speaker 1: pick some sort of historic event and then you have
Speaker 1: to make a presentation about the historic event. And it
Speaker 1: makes me feel so old that all the kids just
Speaker 1: do nine to eleven and tell you this. This is
Speaker 1: inside one of these Uh, this is in Vlusha County, Florida.
Speaker 1: All the kids do like twin towers that are all
Speaker 1: like full of smoke. There's another one here. There's a
Speaker 1: plane in the building.
Speaker 5: An impressive structure. Yeah, that's not where the plane hit, though.
Speaker 1: The plane looks a lot better than the building. Every
Speaker 1: every single child who was doing this social studies product project,
Speaker 1: they all because nine to eleven is now so many
Speaker 1: years ago. They all chose nine to eleven and all
Speaker 1: the kids are like, way back in two thousand and
Speaker 1: one was the year just barely into two thousands, and
Speaker 1: then this attack happened where planes hit a building. And
Speaker 1: not only has this happened, Courtney's mom goes, yeah, when
Speaker 1: when when Courtney's niece had this happen at her school?
Speaker 1: They had to interview somebody who quote lived.
Speaker 2: Through nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: They go, hold on, that sounds like it's a very
Speaker 1: low barrier to entry. Is it an interview somebody who
Speaker 1: was alive on September eleventh, two thousand and one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, not somebody who was in New York, Not
Speaker 3: somebody who was in Washington, d.
Speaker 1: C just existed on the same planet at that time.
Speaker 2: It's just like you remember this.
Speaker 1: And when I heard about this, I thought, oh god,
Speaker 1: that's so weird because I've listened to so many interviews
Speaker 1: of older people telling stories of historical events. For instance,
Speaker 1: be like, you know, the Great Depression, and they bring
Speaker 1: them into a college class and they say, these two
Speaker 1: women here lived through the Great Depression. Now we're gonna
Speaker 1: have them give a little opening statement, and then you
Speaker 1: guys can ask any question to somebody who lived through
Speaker 1: the Great Depression. And the women were so kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys really want want to know about this, you
Speaker 1: really want to Okay, and they and it was it
Speaker 1: was interesting listening to their answers, and I wasn't thralled
Speaker 1: by but they seemed so bored by it. And I thought,
Speaker 1: so funny, because is that how it's going to be
Speaker 1: for us now?
Speaker 2: We're like, no, is it like living through nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: Mister Lane?
Speaker 3: No, you think even more recently, like sometime sometime in
Speaker 3: the future, they could ask us like, hey, we want
Speaker 3: you to go talk to these kids about what it
Speaker 3: was like living through COVID, and they're gonna want like
Speaker 3: a certain version of what they think that the story
Speaker 3: we're going to tell and you can't.
Speaker 1: Invite Uncle Randy to that. It's well, it's like I'll
Speaker 1: tell you the scam demic. I'll tell you the truth.
Speaker 3: There's that, I mean, I mean we got to get
Speaker 3: back to the nine eleven think and a second.
Speaker 2: But uh, there's that.
Speaker 1: There's the you want to hear you know what what
Speaker 1: was hard about COVID? You know what was you know? Uh,
Speaker 1: did you guys lose jobs? Did you go this? Did
Speaker 1: you have to go? And for me, I don't think.
Speaker 3: They want to hear that, like, oh, I had a
Speaker 3: job the whole time.
Speaker 1: Traffic was really good, drank a bunch, didn't get to
Speaker 1: see didn't get to go to bars as much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but we were friends with some bars that would
Speaker 5: sneak us in.
Speaker 4: So I was like legal, but so weird.
Speaker 1: Do you guys have listened to things now that kids
Speaker 1: would want to interview you about, Like, Hey, Sabrina, do
Speaker 1: you remember what it was like on nine to eleven?
Speaker 2: Where were you and what was going on?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: You you can.
Speaker 5: Tell you When I was their age, I was interviewing
Speaker 5: very old man who was in World War two, and
Speaker 5: if I were to share that to a kid who's
Speaker 5: interviewing me, they're like, we're not covering that. Can you
Speaker 5: do the COVID and nine eleven stuff?
Speaker 4: Please?
Speaker 1: Wow? I went what year do you think that was
Speaker 1: when you were interviewing somebody who was like a old
Speaker 1: man from World War Two?
Speaker 5: Let's say sixth grade, which came two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: So two thousand and what we talking about twenty five
Speaker 1: years ago?
Speaker 2: A quarter century.
Speaker 1: He's dead, So that would have been like that would
Speaker 1: have been the equivalent of you interviewing somebody from like
Speaker 1: I guess the Vietnam War would be the closest one.
Speaker 1: Like at that point, that's where we're at, where at
Speaker 1: that point now lives They'll be like you were alive
Speaker 1: when the planes hit the towers at the country song
Speaker 1: Social Yeah, at this social studies fair. Are any of
Speaker 1: these kids presenting a different version of the facts than
Speaker 1: than the norm?
Speaker 4: Are there?
Speaker 1: Is there a trifle board with big you know the
Speaker 1: jet fuel doesn't melt steel beans? Oh? I hope, So
Speaker 1: I hope. There's one kid who talked to Uncle Randy
Speaker 1: and he's like, look, I can tell you right here
Speaker 1: on building seven was where there was.
Speaker 2: A controlled demolition that took place.
Speaker 3: For example, I think I told you before that somebody
Speaker 3: came and talked to my Uh it was my private school,
Speaker 3: so I was in elementary school and they came to
Speaker 3: tell us about the Civil War. And the very first
Speaker 3: thing this man said was it wasn't a real civil
Speaker 3: war because we broke a part of the country. We
Speaker 3: became and the South became its own country, so it's
Speaker 3: technically not a civil war. And I was like, uh
Speaker 3: huh I At the time, I go wow, And now
Speaker 3: looking back, I go, whoa.
Speaker 1: He was like one step away from heritage, not hate.
Speaker 1: He's like, look, the rebel flag means different things to
Speaker 1: different people. They must have to deal with this stuff.
Speaker 1: There must be one kid who goes in with his
Speaker 1: nine of lines. This was an invited speaker.
Speaker 3: It wasn't even like it was some kid who's got
Speaker 3: the uncle Randy. This was a guy that just came
Speaker 3: to teach us about the war and that was his
Speaker 3: first lesson.
Speaker 2: That makes me feel so old though.
Speaker 1: It literally one of the first things where I go,
Speaker 1: I'm I've reached historic age, Like I've reached an age
Speaker 1: now where little kids in a class would be like,
Speaker 1: tell us about the planes hitting the building. There's a
Speaker 1: level now that we've gotten to, and I guess there's
Speaker 1: no way to deal with this other than just hit
Speaker 1: it head on.
Speaker 5: Now, if you get this interview, are you gonna fluff

Speaker 1: grabbed his shotgun and a gas can and started walking
Speaker 1: up towards mar A Lago.
Speaker 2: Trump's not even there.
Speaker 1: Trump was at the White House at the time in Washington, DC.

Speaker 1: I was watching TV with Courtney and we were watching

Speaker 1: See bad? I am't the but I'm Batman and what

Speaker 1: guy's mind? I got the police press conference. We'll listen
Speaker 1: to that and a whole lot more on the way,
Speaker 1: and it's all coming up next in the News Junkie.
Speaker 1: Many things happening today as per usual on planet Earth,
Speaker 1: from the freezing cold, to the cartel chaos in Mexico
Speaker 1: to this thing that we're gonna get to later at
Speaker 1: the BAFTA Award show with the taret Stude, and all kinds.
Speaker 2: Of things to get into.
Speaker 1: But one of the big stories over the weekend was
Speaker 1: out of mar A Lago and the President wasn't even there.
Speaker 1: President Trump wasn't even at mar A Lago, but somebody
Speaker 1: showed up and had a shotgun and a gas can
Speaker 1: and was approaching mar A Lago when this twenty one
Speaker 1: year old who had been reported missing his family reported
Speaker 1: and missing from North Carolina. When this twenty one year
Speaker 1: old started to approach the officers, who of course have
Speaker 1: a significant presence at marra A Lago, the President's home
Speaker 1: in South Florida, they said, put it down, put the
Speaker 1: gun down, and he put the gas can down, which
Speaker 1: are ain't gonna do it. I had a gun, sw dragon,
Speaker 1: put the gun down, put the gas can down, put
Speaker 1: the shotgun up to shooting height, and they obviously opened
Speaker 1: fire on this guy and shot him at a Swiss
Speaker 1: cheese and the twenty one year old was killed this
Speaker 1: weekend at mar A Lago, possibly trying to kill the
Speaker 1: President who wasn't there. The motivation on this we'll get
Speaker 1: to in a moment, but I have the press conference
Speaker 1: real quick, so let's see what we get out of that.
Speaker 7: There's a Sheriff Bradshaw. I'm the sheriff of pop Beach County.
Speaker 7: I have with b from the FBI, Special Agent in
Speaker 7: Charge Brett Skiles, Special Agent in Charge Rafael Burials from
Speaker 7: the Secret Service. Also, I have Resident Agent Charge David
Speaker 7: Clancy at one this morning right to it. I like
Speaker 7: Jill detected a individual.
Speaker 1: By the way, just a quick note, told what Nino
Speaker 1: or whatever his name is, nanos and Nanos over in
Speaker 1: Arizona with the gut three ks.
Speaker 2: This is how you do a press conference.
Speaker 1: This is Sheriff Bradshaw, who walks up to the microphone.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, here's who I I am, Here's who's with me,
Speaker 1: Here's what's going on.
Speaker 7: And made his way into the inner perimeter of Barlago.
Speaker 7: A deputy and two Secret Service agents from the detail
Speaker 7: went to that area to investigate. They confronted a white
Speaker 7: male that was carried a gas can and a shotgun.
Speaker 7: He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment
Speaker 7: that he had with them, at which time he put
Speaker 7: down the gas can raised the shotgun to a shooting position.
Speaker 1: At that point in.
Speaker 7: Time, the deputy and the two Secret Service agents fired
Speaker 7: their weapons and neutralized the threat.
Speaker 1: Neutralized the threat, which was a twenty one year old
Speaker 1: named Austin Tucker Martin from North Carolina, twenty one years old,
Speaker 1: allegedly revved up by the Epstein drama and saying that
Speaker 1: you gotta do something about this. We can't just back
Speaker 1: and let this happen. A big shocker. There's all of
Speaker 1: these things that keep happening in life and in politics,
Speaker 1: and when I watch them, I go, it's so obvious
Speaker 1: to me what the reaction is going to be like
Speaker 1: when you tell everybody that an election was stolen and
Speaker 1: then they make a run on the Capitol Building on
Speaker 1: January sixth, you know, very little surprise when you tell
Speaker 1: people that democracy is being stolen from them.
Speaker 2: That's how they react.
Speaker 1: When you tell people that there is a global cabal
Speaker 1: of child sex predators who are using pizza language to
Speaker 1: hide what they got going on with these young girls,
Speaker 1: and President Trump was doing it like Ted lu I
Speaker 1: think who last week was out there saying things as
Speaker 1: irresponsible as like Trump had sex with little girls, say
Speaker 1: something like that he said at this press conference. Then
Speaker 1: you get people all fired up about this. And of course,
Speaker 1: if they think there's a satanic pedophilic cult running the
Speaker 1: United States of America, of course some crazies are gonna
Speaker 1: grab guns and do this stuff. It's the inevitable outcome
Speaker 1: of these weirdos and grifters who know better. They know better,
Speaker 1: but they don't care. They don't care, and they fire
Speaker 1: things up like this. And this guy, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I know
Speaker 1: he was targeting mar A Lago. Obviously he had a gun,
Speaker 1: he had the gas can. And some people will be like, well,
Speaker 1: maybe he was going for a suicide by cop thing,
Speaker 1: but you don't need a gas can for that, and
Speaker 1: you don't need to drive to mar A Lago from
Speaker 1: from North Carolina for that. But that's what the guy did,
Speaker 1: and he may have even purchased the gun. On the
Speaker 1: way there.
Speaker 2: They found the gun in a they found.
Speaker 1: A box like a like like he had purchased the
Speaker 1: gun and removed it from the box and then you know,
Speaker 1: walked out onto the lawn of mar A Lago and
Speaker 1: tried to do this. Yeah, I guess so. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: just shotgun. It's the traditional shotgun. You know, you said
Speaker 1: you didn't need a gas can for suicide by secret
Speaker 1: service or cop or whatever. But I'll so a lot
Speaker 1: of the times that people go that route, not everything
Speaker 1: is on the up and up mental wise. Yeah, that's well,
Speaker 1: I mean that's true, and I think that's part of
Speaker 1: this for sure. See which on YouTube says, why isn't
Speaker 1: irresponsible to report the truth? Do you think the truth
Speaker 1: is what Ted lu said that Trump was having sex
Speaker 1: with little kids? I'll wait, oh yeah, I'll wait for
Speaker 1: your response. Do you think that that is the truth.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's responsible to platform that and to
Speaker 1: say that. Do you think that the inevitable outcome of
Speaker 1: that isn't that somebody's going to go, well, if these
Speaker 1: people are being protected and this is what's actually happening.
Speaker 1: If you think that's the truth, you are gone. Your
Speaker 1: brain has melted, You've been lost in the sauce. You're
Speaker 1: part of the political people if that's what you believe.
Speaker 1: But that's I think what this guy believes. I think
Speaker 1: he was deep, deep into it. I'll get to his
Speaker 1: text messages in just a moment.
Speaker 7: He is deceased at the Saint I'll give you a
Speaker 7: picture of the shotgun in the gas can to have
Speaker 7: with you. So that's what we know now. The investigation continues.
Speaker 7: The FBI is the lead investigation agency on this case,
Speaker 7: and we will be assisting them in whatever manner they
Speaker 7: would like, and they will be responsible for answering any
Speaker 7: other questions at an appropriate time.
Speaker 2: Are there's the sheriff, I bet good.
Speaker 8: Morning getting My name is Brett scoles On, the specially
Speaker 8: in charge for the FBI's Miami Field Office. First of all,
Speaker 8: have to thank the Secret Service and published Sheriff's office
Speaker 8: for their quick response in this matter and a close
Speaker 8: collaboration since this area of the shooting was under Secret
Speaker 8: Service protection at the time. The FBI is assaising the investigation.
Speaker 1: Currently, our evers response.
Speaker 8: Team is processing the scene, collecting evidence, and we'll continue
Speaker 8: to work the scene for as long as it takes.
Speaker 8: One thing I would ask the public is if you
Speaker 8: live in the area of the shooting, please check your exterior.
Speaker 1: Cameras last night early this morning.
Speaker 8: If you see saying that look suspicious are out of place,
Speaker 8: please contact us at one eight hundred, call FBI or
Speaker 8: contact the West Palm Beach Sheriff's office.
Speaker 1: All right, there they are. That's the FEDS in the
Speaker 1: locals out there. They eventually showed a photograph I believe.
Speaker 1: Oh here it is of the shotgun. It's like the
Speaker 1: worst photo. Look at this looks like, you know what
Speaker 1: my printer gets into that spot where the guys make
Speaker 1: fun of me.
Speaker 4: What is that? It looks like an old facts.
Speaker 1: It's a photo that they printed out of the shotgun.
Speaker 1: I can barely make out the shotgun on the ground here,
Speaker 1: and it's just mostly just a black photo. But that's
Speaker 1: the gun. Still no word on whether or not the
Speaker 1: gun was loaded. I don't know if he had it
Speaker 1: loaded or what. You know, what was going on beyond
Speaker 1: this guy's obvious intent to walk up there with a
Speaker 1: gun and a gas can. But they showed this photograph
Speaker 1: didn't really reveal all that much from the scene, and
Speaker 1: the details that came in afterwards were much more interesting.
Speaker 1: I think who was a twenty one year old North
Speaker 1: Carolina man who has killed at mar A Lago after
Speaker 1: raising a shotgun at officers. Austin Tucker Martin was his name.
Speaker 1: That's what's going to happen. Every time you raise a
Speaker 1: shotgun coming up on mar A Lago. They're going to
Speaker 1: do exactly that. A couple of twists and turns in this.
Speaker 1: Here's some of the family members speaking out. Family member
Speaker 1: of armed man who breached mar A Lago perimeter describes
Speaker 1: personality and politics. They said the twenty one year old
Speaker 1: was from a family of quote big Trump supporters and
Speaker 1: quote wouldn't even hurt an aunt. This is according to
Speaker 1: one of the family members. Brendan Field is a cousin,
Speaker 1: who described the man with the gun as quiet, afraid
Speaker 1: of guns, and from a family of avid Trump supporters.
Speaker 1: All right. They said. They described him as generous, saying,
Speaker 1: you would regularly donate money he earned from work at
Speaker 1: a local golf course to charity. He wouldn't even hurt
Speaker 1: an aunt. He doesn't even know how to use a gun,
Speaker 1: he says. And that's what that family member says about this. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: we learned from some text message, and this is from TMZ,
Speaker 1: that the mar Alago arm gunman was fixated on the
Speaker 1: Epstein files all right, a week before the shooting was
Speaker 1: fixated on the Epstein files. Here is one of the
Speaker 1: text messages or I don't know if this is a
Speaker 1: text or from another service. RCS, Yeah, that's a text.
Speaker 1: RCS is that's what your text messages are now. SMS
Speaker 1: is kind of going the way of the dodo. Is
Speaker 1: this on a like an Android phone or something?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 1: Because the interface looks unfamiliar to me. The person said,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're benefiting. And the guy who went to
Speaker 1: mar A Lago with the gun and the gas said,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've read up on the Epstein files,
Speaker 1: but evil is real and unmistakable.
Speaker 2: The best people like you and I.
Speaker 1: Can do is use what little influence we have tell
Speaker 1: other people about what you hear about the Epstein files
Speaker 1: and what the government is doing about it. Raise awareness.
Speaker 1: He said in this particular text message that TMZ is
Speaker 1: posting sources who worked with Austin at the Pine Needles
Speaker 1: Lodge and Golf Club in North Carolina. Tel TMZ became
Speaker 1: fixated on the Epstein case following the latest release of
Speaker 1: information tied to the files. He said he was deeply
Speaker 1: disturbed by what he believed was a government cover up
Speaker 1: and talked about powerful people quote getting away with it
Speaker 1: is the quote that the fellow coworker has used. At
Speaker 1: the same time, he was outspoken about his Christian faith
Speaker 1: and political views were told he regularly expressed support for Trump,
Speaker 1: telling colleagues as recently as late last year he believed
Speaker 1: Trump was a strong leader. I guess he changed his
Speaker 1: mind on that huh gone account of the files. People
Speaker 1: close to Martin described him as well meaning but increasingly frustrated,
Speaker 1: particularly about the economy, where total he often complained that
Speaker 1: young people need two jobs or roommates to afford moving out.
Speaker 1: He still lived with his parents. Austin tried to start
Speaker 1: a union at work to push for higher rate wages,
Speaker 1: but no one signed on. Oh boy. Outside of his job,
Speaker 1: he was a sketch artist attempting to sell drawings of
Speaker 1: local scenery and people around town, and he was shot
Speaker 1: and killed after breaching the secure perimeter at mar Lago
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He was near the north gate carrying a
Speaker 1: shotgun in a fuel can. The investigation remains ongoing. So
Speaker 1: there you go. That's what we know about this guy.
Speaker 1: Austin was his name. I believe who Austin Tucker Martin
Speaker 1: who showed up at mar a Lago. I guess former
Speaker 1: fan of the president, not so much anymore.
Speaker 3: But I've seen other people, you know, change their mind
Speaker 3: on stuff like this. I've seen some people who are
Speaker 3: like very check it on Facebook and then they're They're like, no.
Speaker 1: Now he needs to be arrested. Yeah, no, this this
Speaker 1: guy's went to the gas cannon shotgun routes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I won't be able to vote.
Speaker 1: Uh. And he is dead, Yes, he is indeed dead
Speaker 1: as a result of all of this. But let us
Speaker 1: know what you've heard, what you're thinking, your thoughts on
Speaker 1: all of this. As per usual, send a dispatch over
Speaker 1: at the news Junkie dot com thenewsjunkie dot com. Very
Speaker 1: easy for you to do. A lot of people are
Speaker 1: emailing the show. This is Mike to tips the Newsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com. Mike says, I work at a property that's
Speaker 1: a little north of mar A Lago on Palm Beach.
Speaker 1: I signed up for notifications from the town so I
Speaker 1: know when the roads are closed for Trump coming in
Speaker 1: or roadwork. On Sunday, I received a notification that's Southern Boulevard,
Speaker 1: big road for those of you who don't know, was
Speaker 1: closed around mar A Lago. I found this odd because
Speaker 1: Trump usually comes in on Fridays. Then I saw the news. Boy,
Speaker 1: this neighborhood has degraded into crazy town. Since that, says Mike,
Speaker 1: I would imagine, you know, it's going to bring in
Speaker 1: all of the a flock of people. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I'm squeezed half of an F word out there.
Speaker 1: I don't know you squeeze there.
Speaker 5: It's a five phrase another country song for today's show.
Speaker 1: I didn't get to the K, all right, And my
Speaker 1: defence I was soft sea territory, that F word that
Speaker 1: I was tossing out there a little little bit, little
Speaker 1: dear FCC, I am innocent because I didn't say the K.
Speaker 5: And also see attached photo and tell me it's not
Speaker 5: a flock of fing people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there there was chaos there. I'm sure
Speaker 1: afterwards chaos. All right, all right, quick break.
Speaker 2: When we come.
Speaker 1: Back, we'll see what you have on your mind. Email
Speaker 1: the show, tips at the news Junki dot com, t
Speaker 1: I p s at the News Junkie dot Com. Don't
Speaker 1: try to get me to say it again over on chat. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I got to move past this. We got
Speaker 1: enough trouble around here. Right now. We are going to
Speaker 1: take a quick break when we come back. My favorite
Speaker 1: funny clip of the weekend that we have to get into,
Speaker 1: A shocking email from one of you. Just unbelievable. What
Speaker 1: was sent to me this weekend in my inbox and
Speaker 1: I'll bring it to you that's coming up next in
Speaker 1: the News Junkie. Don't forget you could always watch us
Speaker 1: when this show is live a full production.
Speaker 2: I'd encourage you to do it.
Speaker 1: Check it out today watch us YouTube dot com Slash
Speaker 1: the Newsjunkie YouTube dot com Slash the News Junkie got
Speaker 1: an email.
Speaker 2: Over the weekend.
Speaker 1: It was pretty crazy that I want to get into
Speaker 1: in just a moment, but I play here at this
Speaker 1: point in the show. What was my favorite clip of
Speaker 1: the weekend? Just because I thought it was kind of
Speaker 1: a fun debate. I thought it was an interesting debate,
Speaker 1: but more of a fun debate than a lot of
Speaker 1: the other stuff that was going on, like the turetts
Speaker 1: at the Awards show clip and some of that that
Speaker 1: we'll get into a little bit later on, like the
Speaker 1: Mexican cartel violence, which we'll also get to. But this
Speaker 1: popped up this weekend and it's a clip from c
Speaker 1: Span and I don't know if either of you saw this,
Speaker 1: but on c SPAN, after the Supreme Court had shot
Speaker 1: down Trump's legal justification for the tariffs kind of up
Speaker 1: ended his tariff plans and make them go back to
Speaker 1: the drawing board to redo the justification for the tariffs
Speaker 1: that the United States is putting on these other countries.
Speaker 1: Somebody called in to se Span. Now over on Sea Span,
Speaker 1: this is a tough gig. It is a tough gig.
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I mean it. There are shows where
Speaker 1: they have a Republican line, a Democrat line, and then
Speaker 1: like an independent line, and the host just has to
Speaker 1: sit there and take phone calls from these old o's,
Speaker 1: and the old o's are like, I was watching this
Speaker 1: and no, no, and they're angry. Oh are they angry?
Speaker 1: And for whatever they're focused on for the moment, they're very,
Speaker 1: very pissed off. And one of them called that was
Speaker 1: mad about this whole situation with the Supreme Court ruling.
Speaker 1: Was a person named John Baron, which if you know
Speaker 1: the history in the eighties and nineties, and this is true,
Speaker 1: this part is true. In the eighties and nineties, President
Speaker 1: Trump and Donald Trump, the businessman at the time, had
Speaker 1: found that a lot of his publicists weren't doing good
Speaker 1: work for him, and so he pretended to be his
Speaker 1: own publicist, a guy named John Baron. Oh and there's
Speaker 1: President's here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He would get on the phone and he would call
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal and he'd be like, look, Trump
Speaker 1: is the best, you know.
Speaker 2: He would go out and he.
Speaker 1: Would be his own spokesperson, because nobody's a better spokesperson
Speaker 1: for himself than himself. And so this call comes in
Speaker 1: to c SPAN. C SPAN has only confirmed that it
Speaker 1: was a real call and that it was not AI,
Speaker 1: and the call was from somebody identifying themselves as John Baron.
Speaker 1: You decide, well, this is.
Speaker 9: John Baron, and you have look you have. This is
Speaker 9: the worst decision you ever have any life. Practically, Jack
Speaker 9: and Jexicano agree with me, right, but this is a
Speaker 9: terrible decision. You have Hakeem Jeffries.
Speaker 1: Who he's a dope, and you have Chuck.
Speaker 9: Schumer, who can't cooka cheeseburger. Of course these people are happy,
Speaker 9: of course these people are happy, but true Americans will
Speaker 9: not be happy.
Speaker 1: And you have the woman earlier.
Speaker 9: I assume she's a woman, she's a Democrat, but she
Speaker 9: said she's she's a disgraced she's devastated, all.
Speaker 4: Right by this? Out of the next call and it's
Speaker 4: I mean his nose, right, do you hear it?
Speaker 1: Like? There are two possibilities. It could be Trump himself
Speaker 1: calling in his John Baron plugging his nose, or it's
Speaker 1: a Trump impersonator who knows this this tidbit of history
Speaker 1: and is calling it is John Baron, And it's a
Speaker 1: good impersonation, right, no matter what if it's If it's
Speaker 1: not him, it sounds a lot like Trump, at least
Speaker 1: to me. I think it fell off a little bit
Speaker 1: after the cheeseburger part. But at the beginning, He's like,
Speaker 1: worst decision ever.
Speaker 9: Well, this is John there, and you have look, this
Speaker 9: is the worst decision you ever have in your life, practically, Jack,
Speaker 9: and Jack's canna agree with me, right, but this is
Speaker 9: a terrible decision. And you have Hakeem Jeffries, who he's
Speaker 9: a dope, and you have Chuck Schumer, who can't cook
Speaker 9: a cheeseburger.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that linees about, by the way,
Speaker 1: who can't cook a cheeseburger. That's that's why I think
Speaker 1: this is an impersonator. There's a couple of the words
Speaker 1: that I think he falls off on, and then.
Speaker 3: The I think some of this is just a bit.
Speaker 3: So he's like, what can I say about Chuck Schumer?
Speaker 3: Let me mad libs this thing real quick.
Speaker 1: Can't cook it. You could like shuffle a.
Speaker 3: Deck of cards against humanity cards and read them in
Speaker 3: Trump's voice, and they would they would plug in.
Speaker 1: There blank and blank can't blank a blank, right, Chuck
Speaker 1: can't cook a cheeseburger. That's what you plot in there.
Speaker 1: And then a lot of people run with it. Somebody
Speaker 1: says the President, and jeffrees it can't operate an elevator.
Speaker 1: You know. Jamie says on on X the President that
Speaker 1: I say, it's called into a cable news show and
Speaker 1: her a fake name to complain about how unfair everybody's
Speaker 1: to him.
Speaker 2: You can't make this s up.
Speaker 1: He is unwell that people either like completely bought it
Speaker 1: or didn't. I think it's just an impersonator. But it
Speaker 1: was a good it was a good gag. It was
Speaker 1: a good it was a good bit, and they did
Speaker 1: a good job like rolling through the character and that
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. So let us know, maybe you think
Speaker 1: it really was Trump tell us what your thoughts are.
Speaker 1: The story says was it actually the US President? Some
Speaker 1: believe it was a talented personator calling into the show.
Speaker 1: C Span confirms the call was real and live, not
Speaker 1: AI generated. However, the caller's identity remains unknown. They say,
Speaker 1: so there you go, that was a fun little tidbit
Speaker 1: over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Then call him back.
Speaker 1: On those systems, don't you. They must, right, they would
Speaker 1: have to. I think, all right, we got some emails
Speaker 1: to get into here. But I was talking about how
Speaker 1: over the weekend I got an email. I'm not even
Speaker 1: sure how much of this I can play, and I
Speaker 1: risk screwing up as I did earlier and just tossing
Speaker 1: out some some bad words. But someone sent me an
Speaker 1: email over the weekend, and it says, good afternoon, junkies.
Speaker 1: My sister and brother in law were in Walmart yesterday
Speaker 1: when a shooting occurred. Oh they said they were in
Speaker 1: a pint Pointsianna Walmart and they said a shooting occurred.
Speaker 1: Not sure if you guys covered it today as a
Speaker 1: podcast listener. I attached the video of them barricaded in
Speaker 1: the office of the Automotive Center. My one year old
Speaker 1: nephew is the one singing in the background. And my
Speaker 1: brother in law works private security. He's the one speaking
Speaker 1: with the cops in the video, and he sends in
Speaker 1: a video they were at a walmart when a shooting
Speaker 1: took place, and you get, oh, that's so crazy. You
Speaker 1: hear the little kid that because there's alarm bells going
Speaker 1: off everywhere inside this walmart and this person filmed this
Speaker 1: and sentiment thank you for sending it to tips at
Speaker 1: the news junker dot com. There's alarm bells going off,
Speaker 1: but kids don't understand this stuff obviously, so the little
Speaker 1: kids just singing along. You hear the historal arms going off.
Speaker 1: He's just singing in all reality, Yeah, go on, in
Speaker 1: all reality, he's making a giant target out of the
Speaker 1: family that's trying to hide in this. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: not great. They're hiding behind the car batteries at this walmart,
Speaker 1: filming themselves and then eventually they end up getting out
Speaker 1: of there. Let me see, can I fast forward? They
Speaker 1: won't let me be fast forward for some reason. Okay, at
Speaker 1: some point here the police come out. Hang on, let
Speaker 1: me grab this sel and so I can play it
Speaker 1: a different way.
Speaker 2: Uh, And then I'll see if I can.
Speaker 1: Fast forward a little bit, because at some point a
Speaker 1: police officer gun drawn, pops in so real.
Speaker 3: Quick while you're while you're pulling that up, are we
Speaker 3: too assume? I mean, Walmart doesn't have like a an
Speaker 3: alarm first situations like this. Do you think somebody just
Speaker 3: pulled the fire alarm?
Speaker 1: It could be that maybe they do have an emergency
Speaker 1: alarm for such cases like this. Somebody w works at Walmart.
Speaker 1: Let us know here they are now when the the
Speaker 1: police are coming in, stay by the dumb button. J
Speaker 1: Just a kid, keep your hands up, everybody, keep your
Speaker 1: hands up. Let's go.
Speaker 2: All right, he's heading out there.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that wet cop of the gun drawn pointing
Speaker 1: a gun right at him as he's walking out of
Speaker 1: this wall Automotive center. Sit right over here, right by
Speaker 1: the car. All right.
Speaker 2: Then they clear out the Walmart.
Speaker 1: Just crazy. Thank you for sending that over. Must be Friday,
Speaker 1: thank god. The little child is kid's too young to remember.
Speaker 1: He's not going to remember what was going on here
Speaker 1: in this case, thankfully. That's probably the best part I
Speaker 1: could take away from this. It was like a sixteen
Speaker 1: year old shoplifting suspect got shot and killed, and who
Speaker 1: shot up security or the police. I'm looking through. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me know if there's any update on that, because
Speaker 1: I did see that the story was out there, but
Speaker 1: I and I did see that it was somebody was
Speaker 1: shot for trying to steal something, but I didn't know.
Speaker 3: Osfield County Sheriff's Office identified the person shot and killed
Speaker 3: by a deputy inside of Point Stanna Walmart as a
Speaker 3: sixteen year old boy who was armed with a handgun
Speaker 3: and was approaching other customers while running away from deputies.
Speaker 2: God almighty man, what that You.
Speaker 1: Threw your whole life away?
Speaker 7: Dude?
Speaker 1: Steal something in a Walmart? Stop? Please?
Speaker 2: Good God.
Speaker 1: DC emails tips at the News Junkie dot Com. DC says, Hey,
Speaker 1: news junk you love the show. My brother said something
Speaker 1: to me that made me think, what if Savannah Guthrie's
Speaker 1: mom talking about the Nancy Guthrie case. What if savannahs
Speaker 1: Guthrie's mom was a message for anybody talking about the
Speaker 1: Epstein files. Wasn't she the one that gave the first
Speaker 1: interview to the victim that committed suicide?
Speaker 2: Just the thought, love you guys.
Speaker 1: DC. People are conspiracy crazy with this stuff. There's no
Speaker 1: evidence whatsoever to suggest there's any tie between those two things,
Speaker 1: but you know, it is what it is. Ken says
Speaker 1: to tips in the news Junki dot Com, Sean, if
Speaker 1: you try to sound out the letters for the FCC,
Speaker 1: you'll get something that sounds like that word you said
Speaker 1: that they had to dump earlier. Yeah, that's true. That's
Speaker 1: their fault. Really, I could blame it on them. I
Speaker 1: was saying, FCC, you know how you say words like that.
Speaker 1: You know that's my excuse, and I am sticking to
Speaker 1: It's okay, other insane ramblings coming in. We'll get some
Speaker 1: of these at some point in time. I think right
Speaker 1: now we're going to take a quick break. When we
Speaker 1: come back, we still got to talk about this big
Speaker 1: award show kerfuffle over Turet. Somebody with Turett's at the event.
Speaker 1: What's happening at the airport with TSA pre check. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of confusion about that. And if you are
Speaker 1: somebody who is trying to travel this week, you're gonna
Speaker 1: want to know about this. And if you're trying to
Speaker 1: travel to Mexico, boy, oh boy, boy oh boy, are.
Speaker 2: There some things you should know?
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about what happened with the cartel situation
Speaker 1: this weekend, all of that coming up next, and then
Speaker 1: to use junk Kie an update on the story God
Speaker 1: was a This was a frustrating one and one that
Speaker 1: really made me kind of angry in a way about
Speaker 1: this woman who abandoned the dog at Harry Reid Airport
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, Nevada. The dog which was since dubbed
Speaker 1: the Jet Blue still not a great name, not a
Speaker 1: great name, but this dog was abandoned by this woman
Speaker 1: who showed up Jemiron Bryce in twenty six years old.
Speaker 1: And she didn't do any of the paperwork, but she
Speaker 1: was like, this is my service animal. And they said, ma'am,
Speaker 1: you can't bring that animal in a fight with you,
Speaker 1: and she just abandoned the dog. And then the most obnoxious, insane, unhinged,
Speaker 1: antisocial thing that this woman did afterwards was there was
Speaker 1: a ten day hold on the dog and she never
Speaker 1: went to get it. She never attempted to contact them.
Speaker 1: She just gave up the dog. And it was a
Speaker 1: cute thing, a golden doodle or something something something, Yeah,
Speaker 1: some poofy little fluf dog, a cute one. And when
Speaker 1: the people from TSA or security at the airport came
Speaker 1: over in Las Vegas to this abandoned dog. It immediately
Speaker 1: was being sweet with them and they were patting the dog.
Speaker 1: And now they were hoping that they could find someplace
Speaker 1: that this dog could stay.
Speaker 2: And the update is a good one.
Speaker 1: A dog abandoned at read Airport this month has officially
Speaker 1: found his forever home. You'll love to hear it. This
Speaker 1: woman was booked on charges of animal abandonment, resisting arrest,
Speaker 1: and providing a false statement to or obstructing a police officer.
Speaker 1: At the time the dog was deserted, several airport employees
Speaker 1: at the Jet Blue counter were seen on video stepping
Speaker 1: in to help the animal and name the dog Jet Blue.
Speaker 1: As a result, I would change that new dog owner. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna change that up. But confusing the dog. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Jet Blue Airlines also donated six thousand dollars to retrieve
Speaker 1: a rescue of Las Vegas where the dog was taken.
Speaker 1: Following rescue, dog is named Yeah. The dog's new owner, though,
Speaker 1: is a Las Vegas police officer who responded the scene
Speaker 1: that day and immediately reached out to make sure the
Speaker 1: dog was getting helped. The officer and his family were
Speaker 1: also approved for adoptions through retriever rescue. So now the
Speaker 1: police officer who met the dog that day has taken
Speaker 1: in the dog and Jet Blue as a forever home.
Speaker 1: That's sweet. You love to hear it.
Speaker 2: You love to hear it.
Speaker 5: And I'm glad that lady got a bunch of charges too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope that other lady gets all sorts of
Speaker 1: bad things happening to her.
Speaker 2: STDs something that.
Speaker 1: Itches for a long time. Oh maybe one on the
Speaker 1: eyeball itself, the surface of the of the eye right
Speaker 1: with the That's the kind of thing that somebody who
Speaker 1: does that stuff deserves. It's one of the greatest barometers
Speaker 1: to testing metrics that you could ever use. Does a
Speaker 1: person do something mean, selfish, or abusive to a dog?
Speaker 1: If the answer is yes, that person is almost one
Speaker 1: hundred percent worthless, one hundred percent of the time more
Speaker 1: accurate than sex panther one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 1: Somebody who treats an animal like that is a bad,
Speaker 1: nasty human being. And I'm glad at least the dog
Speaker 1: has a good place to stay moving forward.
Speaker 2: It would appear meanwhile, staying.
Speaker 1: At the airport, because that's where we stay many times
Speaker 1: on this show a lot of viral stuff happens at
Speaker 1: the airport. The TSA said Sunday this weekend that pre
Speaker 1: check and Global Entry programs were being shut down because
Speaker 1: there's like a partial government shutdown underway that nobody's really
Speaker 1: talking about. I said, you can't get in. You can't
Speaker 1: get in the Washington Post saying shutdowns have serious real
Speaker 1: world consequences, not just for the men and women of
Speaker 1: DHS and their families that go without a paycheck. It
Speaker 1: endangers are national security. That is the DHS Secretary Christy Nome.
Speaker 1: They shut down pre check last government shutdown, I don't know,
Speaker 1: and then they very quickly reversed on this sea lane.
Speaker 2: So let me bring up.
Speaker 1: The update on that, because after I saw that they
Speaker 1: had shut down pre check, and then I saw that
Speaker 1: they reversed it.
Speaker 3: If the if the partial government is shut down, does
Speaker 3: that mean all their dot gov websites have banners up
Speaker 3: top that say this is a shutdown because of the
Speaker 3: Democrats and the las Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Radical might have that back up again.
Speaker 1: DHS abruptly versus suspension of TSA pre check. This story
Speaker 1: says from CNBC, the Transportation Security Administration said pre check
Speaker 1: airport security lanes are operating normally, DHS said. Global Entry, however,
Speaker 1: is suspended. What's global Entry is that like pre check
Speaker 1: for people in the around the world. It's a customs
Speaker 1: related thing.
Speaker 5: But you can essentially, I've used it before, you're on
Speaker 5: the plane and you can take a selfie, fill out
Speaker 5: the forums and go into a separate line.
Speaker 4: That's much quicker when it comes, so you.
Speaker 1: You get like a VIP rush through customs basically.
Speaker 4: Now PRETSA I paid seventy five dollars for.
Speaker 2: Why is the other one that costs money?
Speaker 5: Oh, it's just an app that I used, maybe, or
Speaker 5: unless I'm mixing it up with something else.
Speaker 1: I think you are.
Speaker 4: Oh, man, what pre check is one of them?
Speaker 1: The other one is global Entry whatever that is. If
Speaker 1: what you're talking about is global Entry, that's what it is,
Speaker 1: then I don't know. That's something different. But it says
Speaker 1: pre check is operational with no change for the traveling public.
Speaker 1: As staffing constraints arise, TSA will evaluate on a case
Speaker 1: by case basis, they said. DHS early Sunday said pre
Speaker 1: checking Global Entry program We're scheduled to take effect at
Speaker 1: six am on Sunday, but I guess that did not happen.
Speaker 1: They ended up shutting that whole thing down. I don't
Speaker 1: even know how all this works. I know that I
Speaker 1: keep saying I'm gonna get pre check and then I
Speaker 1: never get it, and I really, honestly should I got
Speaker 1: it it yet? How much was it again?
Speaker 5: Seventy five bucks for five years.
Speaker 2: That's a good deal. Yeah.
Speaker 5: And when I went and got it, I had to
Speaker 5: go to the airport for my appointment.
Speaker 4: Where are they?
Speaker 5: Essentially, and I've scheduled an appointment, asked me the same
Speaker 5: questions in the form I filled out, And since then
Speaker 5: they've opened up offices that you can go to.
Speaker 4: One that's very close.
Speaker 1: I didn't mine at a what's the office supply store stables? Yeah,
Speaker 1: something like that, and you just go in there, easy pasy.
Speaker 1: So out of fat there's a lady with a little
Speaker 1: kiosk and uh, she was about to shut down for
Speaker 1: the day, but I had the baby, so she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: cute baby here, I'll turn it back on. That baby
Speaker 1: is useful for things like that. Yeah, little Jackson is
Speaker 1: a key to get through some of those gates. Sometimes
Speaker 1: there is a difference between global entry and pre check
Speaker 1: globals best for international travelers. It's expedited customs entry and
Speaker 1: full pre check benefits. Global entry comes with pre check,
Speaker 1: so global entry costs a little more. But there is
Speaker 1: what I was where I was confused with what Sabrina
Speaker 1: was saying.
Speaker 3: There is a thing that you could do on an
Speaker 3: app if you are like returning to the United States
Speaker 3: going through cust was coming from another country, and you
Speaker 3: can do it all up on the app.
Speaker 2: You take a selfie, it.
Speaker 3: Has your passport on it, and then you get a
Speaker 3: shorter line, you know, coming back through customs and it's free.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Going into Europe, I was kind of blown away
Speaker 1: by the airport and how customs work there and maybe
Speaker 1: this is a little different. Well, and actually wasn't. It
Speaker 1: was the same for almost everybody. I think almost everybody
Speaker 1: went into a big pen like a corral, and then
Speaker 1: you answered the questions on that like digital form, and
Speaker 1: then there wasn't.
Speaker 2: Even a person.
Speaker 1: It was just like a like an iPad, took a
Speaker 1: picture of your face and they like enter the country.
Speaker 2: All right, see what here we go.
Speaker 1: You're now a free to move about the country. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I did, and I thought that was it seemed
Speaker 1: easy and maybe maybe too easy, but uh yeah, that
Speaker 1: was the way that worked there. But pre check TSA
Speaker 1: pre check is still open despite this partial shutdown that's
Speaker 1: been dragging on in case you're going to the airports now,
Speaker 1: you know. All right, let me refresh the dispatches and
Speaker 1: work in a couple of these. Oh god, I hesitate
Speaker 1: to play any of these rate by blank entries for
Speaker 1: the Batman voice thing. But why would you never see
Speaker 1: Batman on a date in the daytime? He only comes
Speaker 1: at night. Mm okay, at least we got left in
Speaker 1: his own laugh track. We cuts nice.
Speaker 2: We like that coming in Ryan.
Speaker 1: Hello, junkies. Oh how do you like my Batman voice?
Speaker 2: That's pretty deep?
Speaker 1: Wiggle wiggle pop pop man kicking, I'm Batman and I'm robing. Okay, uh,
Speaker 1: these are all stupid, just just spoiler alert, Good morning news, chunkie.
Speaker 4: Nope, I am creating.
Speaker 1: You don't sound like Batman. You just sell like a
Speaker 1: sex predator.
Speaker 5: Like the calls coming from inside the house and under
Speaker 5: the bed.
Speaker 1: That's creepy, man, What is that? All right? Okay, there
Speaker 1: you go. That's that's that's enough. That is enough. Our
Speaker 1: last one know is hi, I'm Batman. Okay, you should
Speaker 1: stop doing crime. Stab it. I kind of like that one.
Speaker 4: Actually that.
Speaker 1: Was danger, yeah, danger, all right, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: put danger on the list because of his stop it
Speaker 1: all right, there you go. Lots of other dispatches are
Speaker 1: coming in and we will get to them momentarily here
Speaker 1: on the show. Uh and rate my blank is for
Speaker 1: some stupid reason, rate my Batman voice. So record yours
Speaker 1: and send it over today. Win yourself a sweet little
Speaker 1: prize if you're a fan of the show. Okay, I
Speaker 1: wanted to get into the cartel stuff. We only have
Speaker 1: a little bit of time, so let me just give
Speaker 1: you a couple of details before we find out what's
Speaker 1: coming up on the next episode. They killed a cartel boss.
Speaker 2: They did.
Speaker 1: Mexican authorities killed a Mexican drug cartel boss named El Menchomo. Mean,
Speaker 1: let's see, can we get a can we get some information?
Speaker 1: Does Almnho rise to the point where he has a
Speaker 1: Wikipedia page? I don't know if I've seen that before.
Speaker 1: I don't know much about Elmento, so learn does he really? Okay?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why. I'm surprised. He's like
Speaker 1: a big time that's his name. What was that say?
Speaker 1: One more time?
Speaker 4: Nemicio n E M E s I.
Speaker 1: And all right, okay, servantes, this guy is dead now
Speaker 1: elmnhow they said he was a real bad dude. Whole
Speaker 1: areas of western Mexico have been shut down after a
Speaker 1: surgeon cartel violence sparked by a military raid that killed
Speaker 1: one of the world's most wanted drug traffickers, known as Elementcho.
Speaker 1: Schools were closed in several Mexican states. Foreign governments warned
Speaker 1: their cities to stay inside after the drug lord was
Speaker 1: declared dead on Sunday. The fifty nine year old cartel
Speaker 1: leader was killed during a shootout after the Mexican military
Speaker 1: attempted to capture him in a raid supported by intelligence
Speaker 1: from Washington. The US has been pushing its southern neighbor
Speaker 1: to take more aggressive action against groups trafficking fentanyl, methamphetamine,
Speaker 1: and cocaine. And yeah, the drugs are bad, and yeah,
Speaker 1: the drugs are a reason to do this, but it's
Speaker 1: not the only or even the biggest reason. It is
Speaker 1: an absolute stain on humanity that Mexico, Central American countries
Speaker 1: and South American countries have let sometimes entire cities or
Speaker 1: areas of their country go under the power of cartels
Speaker 1: that brutalize the locals. And beyond the drugs, is the
Speaker 1: violence enacted on those locals every day and the fact
Speaker 1: that these countries don't have control over their own borders.
Speaker 1: Now I'm seeing the area where this took place. It's
Speaker 1: west of Mexico City by quite a bit. Jalisco is
Speaker 1: where Guadalajara is on the west. Jalisco Falisco on the
Speaker 1: west coast of Mexico, and that's where this all went down.
Speaker 1: Lahor Nada, a Mexican newspaper, report at least twenty six
Speaker 1: people have been killed in the unrest that followed. And
Speaker 1: I think I had this is at the airport there
Speaker 1: was this. This was people just freaking out, panicking at
Speaker 1: the airport, running.
Speaker 10: Hiding behind the counter, No moms, People are running every direction.
Speaker 1: Now, there was no attack on this airport from what
Speaker 1: I could tell. The airport said it was just a
Speaker 1: panic that struck out and there was huge responses from
Speaker 1: the cartels. Here's something I'll show you for those of
Speaker 1: you on YouTube, I'll put it up on see it now.
Speaker 2: During the break, they.
Speaker 1: Started blowing up stuff across the city. They yes cars
Speaker 1: lit on fire car bombs. This is a Costco parking
Speaker 1: lot where they lit multiple cars on fire, her gunshots
Speaker 1: ringing out all across this city as a response to
Speaker 1: the cartel leader being killed. Crazy man, geez crazy and
Speaker 1: this them lashing out doing this shows you just how
Speaker 1: big the problem actually is. They need to get control
Speaker 1: of these places and save these people from living under
Speaker 1: the thumbs of the violent lunatics who run these cartels
Speaker 1: and lord over their lives in the worst kind of way.
Speaker 1: We'll get into more of how that operation went down
Speaker 1: and what's happening in Mexico as the show rolls on
Speaker 1: when we come back the next episode with Sabrina. What's
Speaker 1: coming up on the next episode?
Speaker 4: What's coming next episode?
Speaker 5: Oh, the bath does got weird? And so did whisk Leafs.
Speaker 5: On thirteenth birthday, Rag Jay's back in the news and
Speaker 5: not for his months to live or his bleeding eyes,
Speaker 5: but apparently for his uncontrollable fists. Plus am I Sabrina

Speaker 5: sure thinks so all that and maybe the last next
Speaker 5: episode coming soon?
Speaker 4: Sorry usually yeah soon going on the kid Rock drama.
Speaker 1: And that is coming soon On the news junkie. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if we're going to get any news this
Speaker 1: week on the Nancy Guthrie front. It kind of seems
Speaker 1: like we're treading the same ground over and over there,
Speaker 1: and they're starting to talk about, like the sheriff in
Speaker 1: Pima County, Arizona, they started to talk about He's like, well,
Speaker 1: some of this stuff may take years. We may be
Speaker 1: looking for months and months at the DNA profiles. And
Speaker 1: you go, damn. I mean, if I'm one of the
Speaker 1: family members and I hear that, you're talking years and months,
Speaker 1: and I started to think at some point that maybe
Speaker 1: you think.
Speaker 2: That my mom is not with us anymore.
Speaker 3: Well, the evolution of interest in this has happened very fast.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean we were all into it, everybody
Speaker 3: Internet sluice were picking apart the video and looking for
Speaker 3: the Walmart backpack, and then it was like, oh, it's
Speaker 3: an inside job. And then all of a sudden, it
Speaker 3: was like shoot hun boom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now it's just it's all quiet, but we'll watch
Speaker 1: anything happens brought to you just like that.
Speaker 2: Right now, let's get into it.

Speaker 2: Nobody even writes a song about the weekdays.
Speaker 4: Being great, Monday, the weekend and stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll work on it, and let's work on how
Speaker 5: we're going to address the bath.
Speaker 4: Does the British Academy Film Awards.
Speaker 5: They went down, yes, and I didn't know that they
Speaker 5: were going down. A lot of award winners and then
Speaker 5: one particular moment that's going viral. A lot of comments,
Speaker 5: some outcry, some understanding, and here we go.
Speaker 1: A lot of not understanding, not at all.
Speaker 4: Michael B.
Speaker 5: Jordan and Delroy Lindo on stage to present the best
Speaker 5: visual Effects to Avatar, Fire and Ash, much like Florida recently,
Speaker 5: when someone shouted the.
Speaker 1: N word, all right, you want to pay this.
Speaker 4: Yes videos a new censored yep.
Speaker 1: Jo and I are delighted to be presenting the first
Speaker 1: BAFT of the night for a vital part. On the first.
Speaker 3: One, we're here to us all there's somebody in the
Speaker 3: background say the nword.
Speaker 1: Be presenting the first was the first one for a
Speaker 1: vital part of movie making.
Speaker 5: I mean worse but perfectly time pregnant pause in all
Speaker 5: Award show history. It turns out the shouter was John Davidson,
Speaker 5: who has treet syndrome. He was invited because he was
Speaker 5: the inspiration for the nominated movie I swear there was
Speaker 5: a couple other moments that he had yelled other obscenities
Speaker 5: throughout the night, shut the F up during an introductory speech,
Speaker 5: F you.
Speaker 4: During the director's speech after.
Speaker 5: They won for Boom Best Children and Family Film, hosts
Speaker 5: Alan Cumming told the audience, you may have noticed some
Speaker 5: strong language in the background. This can be part of
Speaker 5: how Tourette syndrome shows up for some people, as the
Speaker 5: film explores that experience ticks voluntary.
Speaker 2: You want you want him addressing this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's Alan Cumming talking about the Turetts guys a
Speaker 1: few moments.
Speaker 11: I'm yes, an artist who let us leave behind the
Speaker 11: daily litany of problems. This hurley burning world flings at
Speaker 11: us for just a few moments, and yes, with an
Speaker 11: incredible cinematic sourcery, allow us to believe that maybe, just
Speaker 11: maybe everything's going to be okay.
Speaker 1: That's just him being adult, dealing with us in real time.
Speaker 1: I hear different. Yes, Yeah, so.
Speaker 4: That's his big tick.
Speaker 5: And then I went down a wormhole of the movie
Speaker 5: that he was there for.
Speaker 4: I swear, which looks incredible.
Speaker 5: And it turns out the star of that movie one
Speaker 5: best leading actor, which is pretty incredible.
Speaker 4: The Torrette's guy did the man who portrayed him.
Speaker 2: The guy who was the actor Okay, Yes.
Speaker 5: The guy who was screaming and having his tics is
Speaker 5: who the movie is based on. Okay, the uh yeah
Speaker 5: so he won Best Leading Actor was very exciting moment,
Speaker 5: obviously worth mentioning. Again, ticks are involuntary and though sometimes
Speaker 5: they can be met with laughter and levity, this uh
Speaker 5: was also could be a horrific moment for the guy.
Speaker 5: So in comes in Jamie Fox, who immediately commented on
Speaker 5: an Instagram post discussing the controversial moment, saying, nah, he
Speaker 5: meant that ass. Out of all the words you could
Speaker 5: have said, Tourette makes you.
Speaker 1: Say that, Yeah, Jamie, That's that's how Tourett's works, you idiot,
Speaker 1: different comments. Yeah, he said, nah, he meant that ass
Speaker 1: unacceptable and out of all the words you could have said,
Speaker 1: tourets makes you say that. Yeah. That's literally the point correct.
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert on Turett's, but from what I
Speaker 1: hear it, literally there's a certain type of turetsa you
Speaker 1: can have that pushes you. Well, you're you're scared of
Speaker 1: saying the most offensive thing in that moment. So that's
Speaker 1: the word that sometimes is said. It's actually part of it, but.
Speaker 5: The timing was wild, but congratulations the lead actor in
Speaker 5: his award, and congratulations to this guy's thirteen year old son.
Speaker 4: It rhymes with bizbelieva.
Speaker 5: That is correct and a very interesting birthday tradition, and
Speaker 5: it evolves violence.
Speaker 1: So here we go. Nice.
Speaker 5: His son, Sebastian turned thirteen and was posted the video
Speaker 5: where he administered thirteen punches right to his guts.
Speaker 4: And that's the other video that I sent you.
Speaker 5: They weren't too bad, but boxing gloves were involved, and
Speaker 5: he doesn't go full out. But Duke and Hear's about
Speaker 5: doesn't necessarily want them curious about it.
Speaker 4: For one's take?
Speaker 2: Is audio safe on this?
Speaker 1: Yes? So this is like his birthday present to his
Speaker 1: kid is to punch him.
Speaker 4: I think other wrapped gifts.
Speaker 1: All right. He taps his chest, his abs fifteen one,
Speaker 1: he's got a glove on. He's got boxing glove on.
Speaker 1: D it sounds hard. It's up take thirteen years old,
Speaker 1: take it like good.
Speaker 2: G Yeah, Oh he got him.
Speaker 1: He just don't cool, lad, he's only on four six seven.
Speaker 1: Everybody gives a readouts. Here we go all right, there
Speaker 1: he goes awkward, too violent? Oh god, I thought he
Speaker 1: was really going to hit him.
Speaker 5: That hard Jackson's birthday and any taking two punches to
Speaker 5: his guts.
Speaker 1: Well his next birthday he'll get three.
Speaker 4: Oh oh my god, Jackson.
Speaker 3: I totally forgot about birthday punches. But we used to
Speaker 3: do that as kids, and it was like he was
Speaker 3: usually just a bunch in a row and then one
Speaker 3: for good luck, and you would hit the good luck
Speaker 3: one a little harder than baby.
Speaker 1: Would your dad ever hit you for your birthday?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 1: I don't think my dad did that.
Speaker 4: Well it's never too late.
Speaker 3: Certainly lined me up, you know, against a wall and
Speaker 3: told me to tighten my my my chest.
Speaker 4: Take it like, yeah, Well my dad has never said
Speaker 4: ticket like, not yet.
Speaker 1: I kind of want him to now.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, I've run out of time, so I'm just going
Speaker 5: to read the headline and maybe we dive in later on.
Speaker 5: But Kid Rock says that God will cut down journalists
Speaker 5: from the fake liberal media for reporting on his five
Speaker 5: thousand dollars tour tickets. I did technically report on that.
Speaker 5: I don't know if we are considered fake liberal media. Thoughts,
Speaker 5: yes you are, yes, yes, and fake liberal media, and
Speaker 5: therefore goodbye to all of you, because God will be
Speaker 5: cutting me down any minute now, I just I was
Speaker 5: trying to share entertainment wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just to be clear, he is selling five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars seats it, yes.
Speaker 5: Instead of reporting facts or that lawn seats are only
Speaker 5: fifty dollars sean, you did report that, so you're safe.
Speaker 5: And how we're cutting out the scalpers they twisted for
Speaker 5: headlines and clicks to attack me.
Speaker 4: Nothing new year, God will cut me down dollar tickets.
Speaker 4: God's gonna cut me down, goodbye.
Speaker 1: You're you're mad that people you could call them like
Speaker 1: whatever you want politically, but you're mad that people said
Speaker 1: you were selling five thousand dollar tickets. That's a tough
Speaker 1: stance to take when you're selling five thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: Tickets but the lawn seats the dow.
Speaker 1: You could say, yes, but yeah, but I'm also selling
Speaker 1: lawn seats for cheaper. But nobody from his campus said
Speaker 1: that it's not real, that he's not actually selling the
Speaker 1: tickets for five grand.
Speaker 5: He is thousand percent real. So it was nice knowing
Speaker 5: everyone here. Thank you so much for listening and following
Speaker 5: me on Instagram and TikTok, and I'll see you in
Speaker 5: the next life, I suppose. Until then, one last Boobtube.
Speaker 5: Maybe we've got the Peacock NBA Monday with the Pistons,
Speaker 5: Rocket Spurs and Jazz.
Speaker 4: Good luck, have fun, guys.
Speaker 5: American Idol on ABC, twenty nine season premiere of the
Speaker 5: Voice on NBC, series premiere of CIA on CBS, second
Speaker 5: season premiere, Sea Line So excited, Uh huh, Paradise Hell yeah.
Speaker 3: Rashly text me this morning that it was coming back,
Speaker 3: and I just texted, f yeah in all caps.
Speaker 4: It's happening.
Speaker 5: And maybe someone gets pregnant on fallon because Tracy Morgan
Speaker 5: will be there.
Speaker 4: Follow your dreams me on Instagram and theay with me America.
Speaker 1: Smopy, thank you, Sabrina. By the way, underrated tweet, Absolutely
Speaker 1: underrated tweet that I want to highlight when TMZ sent
Speaker 1: out the post that said turette synd Then after this,
Speaker 1: John Davidson was heard shouting the N word during Michael B.
Speaker 1: Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation at the BAFT of Film
Speaker 1: Awards on Sunday. Matt Rife responded, just one big on cals.
Speaker 12: Like he.
Speaker 1: Will, will somebody shout the N word when.
Speaker 2: He goes abo stage?
Speaker 1: Somebody. I don't know if that was a real bet
Speaker 1: on there. I'm thinking it wasn't, but we'll see what
Speaker 1: you think about all of this. Set us a dispatch
Speaker 1: over at thenewsjunkie dot com more on the cartel killing
Speaker 1: in Mexico in the response to all of that when
Speaker 1: we come back, and a lot more on the way
Speaker 1: in a very busy Monday, including your dispatches.
Speaker 2: That's all coming up next in the News Junkie.
Speaker 1: Honest to god, Jamie Foxx should be absolutely embarrassed for
Speaker 1: the take that he had after this award show thing.
Speaker 2: And to me, it's it's so unbelievable.
Speaker 1: To consider that you have this guy who is in
Speaker 1: England who has turets and the Tourette syndrome. God, I
Speaker 1: can't even imagine how difficult it must be to live
Speaker 1: life with turetts. You can't control this, and it's just
Speaker 1: socially just terrible.
Speaker 3: You think about this, Like this guy who he was
Speaker 3: there because he was the inspiration for this movie which
Speaker 3: invited him there, did well at the awards ceremony. It's
Speaker 3: called I Swear, which is a great name for a
Speaker 3: movie about somebody with turetts, it is, and he had
Speaker 3: a couple outbursts. But because of that one, he left.
Speaker 3: He left the award show after that because he was
Speaker 3: so embarrassed and like, that's just something he always has
Speaker 3: to deal with.
Speaker 5: Mind you, This man also dealt with being invited to
Speaker 5: a ceremony with the royal family and in the middle
Speaker 5: of it said, f the Queen.
Speaker 4: So not his first rodeo.
Speaker 5: And this movie tells these struggles and explains in a
Speaker 5: beautiful way what it is to live with Tourette syndrome. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and that Jamie Foxx just goes immediately and says, Tourette's
Speaker 5: that's the.
Speaker 1: Word you pick. Well, there's a lot of people are
Speaker 1: saying that that means he was thinking it. Well, there's
Speaker 1: only two of course, heways, because that's what the Tourette
Speaker 1: syndrome does.
Speaker 2: In these moments. You go to the worst thing.
Speaker 1: If I'm hanging out with a fat person, the turetts
Speaker 1: is gonna go, okay, say something about them being fat
Speaker 1: or fat fat fat. You know it's going to come out.
Speaker 1: If if all of a sudden, I've got Tourettes in
Speaker 1: the ten black people walk into the room, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be like, all right, folks, I'm I better get out
Speaker 1: of here. That's what your brain does. They can't help it.
Speaker 1: There are only two possible takes, all right, we have
Speaker 1: arrived at a fork in the road.
Speaker 2: There are only two possible takes.
Speaker 1: One this person had an elaborate plan to pretend like
Speaker 1: they have turets and then pretend like they have vocal
Speaker 1: tick outbursts at these award shows, Eric like Eric Cartman,
Speaker 1: pretend that they couldn't help but say the N word
Speaker 1: when these two folks, including Michael B. Jordan, were up
Speaker 1: on stage at the beginning of the event. That's one
Speaker 1: that this person just totally pretended all of this. It
Speaker 1: was all a big pretend thing, and they think they
Speaker 1: can get away with it because they have turets. It's
Speaker 1: like a five year old's argument. Or there's the idea
Speaker 1: that maybe this guy's whole life isn't fake, maybe he
Speaker 1: does have turets, and maybe this is how turets work works.
Speaker 3: I should say that the whole army of turets and
Speaker 3: they all work like that. That to me is the
Speaker 3: only possible thing.
Speaker 1: Like the fork in the road is either this is
Speaker 1: like Stevie Wonder and you want to throw a baseball
Speaker 1: at him, and Seevie's really blind, or you go, maybe
Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder is definitely blind. Maybe he's blind like he
Speaker 1: says he is, and like he's been in his whole life.
Speaker 1: That's the fork that you arrive at in the road.
Speaker 1: And there are so many people that were overly sensitive
Speaker 1: about this. I truly believe it. The Associated Press says BBC,
Speaker 1: and the host apologized after a racial slur was shouted
Speaker 1: during the bath towards Now, I don't have a problem
Speaker 1: with them going like, hey, folks, just so you know
Speaker 1: there's somebody here who has turets. If you hear something
Speaker 1: being screamed out in the audience, we're all adults. We
Speaker 1: just have to understand that these kind of things happen
Speaker 1: and it's unfortunate.
Speaker 2: And Alan Cumming tried to do that.
Speaker 1: He told the audience had a guest at the ceremony
Speaker 1: with John Davidson, this guy who was a campaigner for
Speaker 1: people with turets, who inspired the movie that Sabrina was
Speaker 1: talking about, called I Swear. Tourette syndrome is a neurological
Speaker 1: disorder characterized by involuntary, repetitive movements and vocalations, including the
Speaker 1: uttering of inappropriate words. I've told the story very very
Speaker 1: very long ago on the show. I knew a guy
Speaker 1: who was a firefighter and when he was going through
Speaker 1: firefighters school, Mike told me about they made a friend
Speaker 1: in their class and their friend, nice guy, same age, firefighter,
Speaker 1: all of that, but he had tourettes. And they said,
Speaker 1: as they're sitting in this class, they're learning about all
Speaker 1: the things, they're trying to become firefighters, they think about
Speaker 1: their future. This kid keeps having problems in the classroom
Speaker 1: because stuff like this is happening. He's saying the N word,
Speaker 1: or he's saying to this fat lady in class. He
Speaker 1: keeps saying fat horror, fat horror, fat horror, and they
Speaker 1: take offense to it, and you go, Guys, at some point,
Speaker 1: you have to be adults with a brain big enough
Speaker 1: to understand that stuff like this happens, that stuff like
Speaker 1: this happens, and maybe you can like calm down with
Speaker 1: outrage for five seconds and move on to the next thing. Again,
Speaker 1: I'm a problem with him a dress that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Address it because it's it's not great and it could
Speaker 1: be uncomfortable for people around it. But are we past
Speaker 1: the point of being able to be uncomfortable. Now we
Speaker 1: must be like get him out of here. There are
Speaker 1: again fork in the road. There are only two options.
Speaker 1: One you say, sometimes you're going to be around somebody
Speaker 1: who has turets and you need to understand what could
Speaker 1: happen if that's the case. Or two, people with turets
Speaker 1: aren't allowed to be in polite society. They're not allowed
Speaker 1: to go to award shows, which is ridiculous, Like, obviously
Speaker 1: this guy deserves to live. I saw another one of
Speaker 1: another British guy. I think he was British. You guys
Speaker 1: might remember that, Like he's a TikToker, I think, younger guy,
Speaker 1: and he films himself living his life and he has
Speaker 1: very very severe turets. Uncle tick, I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's a younger guy. Black hair, he's got dark black hair,
Speaker 1: the younger guy. And when he went on the plane
Speaker 1: one time he goes on the plane, he's like, bomb,
Speaker 1: I have a bomb, A bomb, Obama the plane bomb.
Speaker 1: I have a bomb, and I'm and they're starting to
Speaker 1: gather around him. The other passagers are freaking out. The
Speaker 1: flight attendants, you know, stewardess' is whatever, are all starting
Speaker 1: to react to this and the guy, I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: have turettes.
Speaker 2: I don't really have a bomb.
Speaker 1: He has to explain it, and I understand needing the explanation,
Speaker 1: but it would be the same thing as saying this
Speaker 1: guy's never allowed to fly because he has turettes. I
Speaker 1: care about fairness. Fairness and outcomes are my two things
Speaker 1: that I care about. And I think that is unfair
Speaker 1: to tell these people that they should live in some
Speaker 1: sort of closet, hidden away somewhere from polite public, because
Speaker 1: you can't take it if somebody says an offensive word,
Speaker 1: get over it, for God's sake.
Speaker 2: And they wanted more too. I said, what if that
Speaker 2: guy really does bomb a plane?
Speaker 1: Though? I mean the ultimate I thought you, I thought
Speaker 1: the ultimate kind of loophole. There, here's the tourets guy.
Speaker 1: John Davidson's his name. Here's the actual guy.
Speaker 13: He sounded like me even the text, you know, the
Speaker 13: tacking in the film, and it's like unbelievably. Initially before
Speaker 13: the documentary, I would gip to house people, would you know,
Speaker 13: well cross the road to avoid me if I was
Speaker 13: walking down the street and you know I was bullied altt.
Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, like I can't think of too many
Speaker 1: things that seem as exhausting as being one of these
Speaker 1: people who has to brave through life with turets. It
Speaker 1: doesn't seem fun. I think it seems exhausting. I think
Speaker 1: it seems torturous, and I can't help but just feel
Speaker 1: for you. And then the idea that afterwards Jamie Fox
Speaker 1: and these legion of losers online or like, nah he
Speaker 1: did that on purpose?
Speaker 4: Another yourself, please because another is there for it?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, and I don't even know that much
Speaker 1: about tourets, but I know, like, I know that that's
Speaker 1: what happens. Yeah, it's literally involuntary. Another underrated tweet or
Speaker 1: expost whatever you'd like to called Wemby Central says Tourette's
Speaker 1: is not an excuse to say bad things. That's in
Speaker 1: quotes like, Tourett's not an excuse to say bad things.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's actually a pretty solid excuse. THEA
Speaker 1: said like that is the excuse, hence why Cartman wanted
Speaker 1: to go that way. A spokesperson for a charity, the
Speaker 1: Tourette's Action Group, says, we also want to address the
Speaker 1: negative comments that have surfaced following John's involuntary vocal ticks
Speaker 1: during the ceremony. We deeply understand that these words can
Speaker 1: cause hurt, but at the same time, it's vital that
Speaker 1: the public understands a fundamental truth about Tourette syndrome. Ticks
Speaker 1: are involuntary. They are not a reflection of a person's beliefs, intentions,
Speaker 1: or character. Thank you, Thank you very much. And people
Speaker 1: with brains believe this. But they wanted so much. One
Speaker 1: of the guys who was on stage, and I get
Speaker 1: that he'd be affected by it more. He's on stage
Speaker 1: when the dude screens out the N word. Delroy Lindo
Speaker 1: wishes quote. Somebody from Baptist spoke to us after the
Speaker 1: N word was shouted as he and Michael B. Jordan
Speaker 1: were presenting the award. He told Vanity Fair he did
Speaker 1: what he had to do in that moment when the
Speaker 1: racial slur was said by John Davidson, who's diagnosed with
Speaker 1: threat syndrome. Sources told Variety that after the ceremony that
Speaker 1: for managers informed guests and attendees sitting around Davidson of
Speaker 1: his condition.
Speaker 2: According to multiple sources.
Speaker 1: None of the nominees or attendees were contacted by BAFT
Speaker 1: or BBC aead of the show to notify it. So
Speaker 1: they're saying some of the people on the stage might
Speaker 1: not have known, but they went around and told every
Speaker 1: single person, the people who are responding to this as
Speaker 1: if it's just abject to racism and that we should
Speaker 1: just coddle everybody around it instead of saying, hey, this
Speaker 1: is a moment where we can learn about things. Those
Speaker 1: people are unhinged, weirdos, they don't understand actual life.
Speaker 3: And then this production designer, I don't know what she
Speaker 3: wanted out of this, maybe in her eyes saying nothing
Speaker 3: would have been better, but had like a three posts
Speaker 3: tweet thread whatever about the apology, calling it a throwaway
Speaker 3: apology and saying that it made the situation worse.
Speaker 1: What do you want? You know, what? What do you want?
Speaker 1: Your hypersensitivity to words in general and in particular racial
Speaker 1: epithets has led you to the place where you justify
Speaker 1: any and all responses to somebody saying these things to
Speaker 1: begin with, even when in some cases like this, it's
Speaker 1: a person with a medical condition that cannot stop what's
Speaker 1: going on. Well, because your brain's not big enough to
Speaker 1: understand that other brains aren't like yours, You are the
Speaker 1: equivalent Jamie Fox. In particular, you are the equivalent of
Speaker 1: the weird redneck dad who is slapping his autistic son
Speaker 1: to try to get him to not be weird anymore.
Speaker 1: That's literally what you're doing. That's the equivalent of what
Speaker 1: you're doing. And for some reason, you could just say
Speaker 1: this stuff and not get shamed out of Hollywood. You
Speaker 1: can say this and just like, Eh, no big deal,
Speaker 1: no problem. You could be that publicly ignorant about things
Speaker 1: like this and no issue whatsoever. Somebody says, make a
Speaker 1: movie about a disabled inclusivity, get a real life disabled
Speaker 1: person to play the part. Complain is it when it
Speaker 1: is disabled disability plays out in public? Absolute Kenome says
Speaker 1: this particular person. Tourette syndrome, says queer Latifa. All right,
Speaker 1: Turette syndrome doesn't make you just call black actors winning
Speaker 1: awards the N word.
Speaker 2: This is just overt racism. Call it what it is.
Speaker 1: Yes, it does, miss queer Latifa, that's literally what it does.
Speaker 1: That's literally the thing. And even Variety was jumping on this, saying,
Speaker 1: bafta in the BBC, let.
Speaker 2: The N word air on tape delay. Michael B.
Speaker 1: Jordan Delroy Lindo in the Turet's community and viewers deserve
Speaker 1: an apology like this whining, groveling article that they didn't
Speaker 1: dump this and have a delay that dumped the button
Speaker 1: or whatever she is.
Speaker 3: Part of the argument was that there was something else
Speaker 3: that they did day right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But like if you're just dumping everything, this guy says,
Speaker 1: now again, you can't even have them on the broadcast.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 1: You you can technically get away with it if the
Speaker 1: person has turettes, if you interview them a little, you can.
Speaker 2: You could do that.
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from somebody who has tourettes, who
Speaker 1: has an opinion on this, an opinion on the reaction
Speaker 1: with these these hyper sensitive pussies, honestly, who get up
Speaker 1: in arms about this without fully caring about the person involved.
Speaker 1: Like this sucks, dude, This sucks for the guy who
Speaker 1: did this.
Speaker 2: That's the whole point.
Speaker 1: That's why they have to hide out and stuff and
Speaker 1: not participate in polite society. All right, quick break, let's
Speaker 1: see here when we come back. Oh, Anonymous is talking
Speaker 1: about this, so I'll work this in real quick to
Speaker 1: tips at.
Speaker 2: The news junky dot com.
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, junkies. I hear you speaking about Tourette syndrome today.
Speaker 1: I've only ever met one person with Tourette syndrome. I
Speaker 1: did watch the TV series called Balling Out Balling Out Loud, which.
Speaker 5: Is that's the girl we've spoken about before that she
Speaker 5: was on with CMO. Yeah, okay, very big personality on TikTok.
Speaker 5: I've watched a couple of her episodes where it kind
Speaker 5: of gives you insight on her life and how it's
Speaker 5: not all funny and getting very tough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the truth of the matter.
Speaker 1: Really, So Bailey out Loud, you said, is what it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be asking, is okay? Bailey out Loud, which
Speaker 1: follows a teenage girl wes Tourette syndrome, and it shows
Speaker 1: the struggles that she personally goes through and her family
Speaker 1: and her friends go through while being out of public,
Speaker 1: and it definitely gives you a whole new outlook on
Speaker 1: them and the struggles they actually go through. I highly
Speaker 1: recommend checking it out. Not only is it educational, she's
Speaker 1: effing hilarious.
Speaker 2: Have a great day. Wiggle Wiggle Pop.
Speaker 1: Balen b a y l E n Dupree, twenty one
Speaker 1: year old social media influencer. Let's find her. She's issue
Speaker 1: the one on the.
Speaker 2: Show, and real quick.
Speaker 1: Just for the record, I'm not suggesting that there aren't
Speaker 1: people who exaggerate this or overdo it or literally there
Speaker 1: was a social contagion on TikTok where women, women, young
Speaker 1: girls in the Northeastern United States in particular, we're going
Speaker 1: to doctors in droves because they all thought, after watching
Speaker 1: TikTok videos that they had tourets themselves.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: I get that people take advantage of this. I get
Speaker 1: that some people will be doing things that are dishonest
Speaker 1: around this too, or get caught up in some kind
Speaker 1: of social contagion. But this guy appears to be legit.
Speaker 1: It appears to be a legit situation. Okay, adults for nancaying.
Speaker 1: Before we move on from this, just a nice little
Speaker 1: fun hypothetical question. All right, let's move over to a
Speaker 1: pretend universe where the both of you are single and
Speaker 1: you have to make a choice either you date bailing
Speaker 1: out loud Baylor dupre with the turets and has the tics,
Speaker 1: and she might, you know, yell some not so savory
Speaker 1: words when people are of color around anymore, or the
Speaker 1: other reality TV one that looks like she's constantly twelve
Speaker 1: years old all the time, which, yeah, I think the
Speaker 1: threat I.
Speaker 4: Think against that person in their condition, Uh huh.
Speaker 1: But I don't want people showing up with shotguns and
Speaker 1: gas cans, don't. I don't need that in my life.
Speaker 1: I got enough problems. I think. Flats Fisherman says, if
Speaker 1: you have turets and say the N word, is it
Speaker 1: because that is the way you actually feel or is
Speaker 1: it random? The way I've heard it explained is imagine
Speaker 1: you have no control over the words that come out
Speaker 1: of your mouth. And I'll state very quickly, although I
Speaker 1: am by no means some sort of spokesperson for the
Speaker 1: world of people who have turets, I will say that
Speaker 1: Touret's is a is a pretty big spectrum of people
Speaker 1: who have small physical ticks. You might just move around
Speaker 1: a little bit, you might your body might wiggle. People
Speaker 1: who have verbal ticks, people who have more aggressive verbal ticks,
Speaker 1: and people who say these things. It's like a particular
Speaker 1: type of turets where you say the worst thing in
Speaker 1: that moment, and imagine that you're going into a situation
Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of one armed people are in
Speaker 1: the room with you, and they all walk in at once,
Speaker 1: and your brain is telling you, okay, I have duretts.
Speaker 1: Don't say anything about the fact that all these people
Speaker 1: have one armed. Don't say anything about the fact that
Speaker 1: all these people have one arm. That's the thing that
Speaker 1: escapes you. You naturally are worried about the worst thing,
Speaker 1: and that's what comes forth from it. That's the best
Speaker 1: I know of it. Anybody with more experience certainly jump in,
Speaker 1: send a dispatch, tips at the news Junki dot com
Speaker 1: with an email or anything else you'd like to throw
Speaker 1: our way.
Speaker 2: More on Team USA and the.
Speaker 1: Big victories is the Olympics ends, more on the Mexican cartels,
Speaker 1: and plus I think I might go Jeffing later. I
Speaker 1: think I might. I might Jeff, I might after the show.
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about Jeffing and I'll explain what this
Speaker 1: phenomenon is that is coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 1: Thinking about Jeffin after the show. Probably gonna Jeff.
Speaker 2: I don't know how long.
Speaker 1: I'm no, you're gonna turn it down. Well, this is
Speaker 1: a it's a big thing that's spreading around now. And
Speaker 1: the funny thing is Sabrina. There's actually a guy named
Speaker 1: Jeff who's at the center of all of this, And
Speaker 1: I mean, that must be weird when you're Jeff and
Speaker 1: people are like, I'm gonna be jeffin later today. This
Speaker 1: is a real thing. This is a legit thing, and
Speaker 1: it's the walk run technique called Jeffing that is going
Speaker 1: viral right now. People are taking to this. It's well
Speaker 1: known among runners.
Speaker 2: Runners.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys speak. I don't know
Speaker 1: your your lingos, so I guess you've been talking about
Speaker 1: jeffing for a long time. I'm not in on it.
Speaker 1: Jeff Galloway is the Olympian who is at the center
Speaker 1: of all of this. Maybe we'll see some Jeffing at
Speaker 1: the Summer Olympics when that comes up just a bit.
Speaker 2: But it's supposed to.
Speaker 1: Be pretty great for you. What is jeffing? Simply put,
Speaker 1: it's a technique that interspersus walk breaks with running bouts
Speaker 1: to help ward off fatigue and boost endurance.
Speaker 2: That sounds good to me. I don't have to run
Speaker 2: the whole time.
Speaker 1: This is Jeff Galloway, who started in nineteen seventy three
Speaker 1: while instructing a beginner running class at university. Jeffing was
Speaker 1: what Galloway came up with. They ran into a couple
Speaker 1: of groups here and they said, the best way to
Speaker 1: tackle these kind of runs is the thirty thirty method.
Speaker 1: Thirty second run, thirty second walk. That's how you know
Speaker 1: you're jeffing. That's when you hit peak jeffing if you
Speaker 1: do it down. Can I just do the walk half?
Speaker 2: That is not jeffs yeah, that is.
Speaker 1: Just walking Basically, I've jeffed.
Speaker 5: But it was like crossing a street in which I
Speaker 5: start with a bit of a run. Need to do
Speaker 5: this right now, so I walk the rest, but I
Speaker 5: think total that's ten seconds.
Speaker 1: I usually do it the other way around, Sabrina, I
Speaker 1: usually get embarrassed. You ever like you're crossing the road
Speaker 1: and then you see a couple of people are waiting
Speaker 1: for you and you started walking out.
Speaker 5: Is just upper half that I jeff yeah, which like
Speaker 5: my arms look like they're running, But bottom half.
Speaker 3: Is not the street cross We used to do the
Speaker 3: move where it was like, uh, let's say you like
Speaker 3: clap it to the all right, but you're really not
Speaker 3: moving any faster.
Speaker 1: You're just kind of you're just kind of the torsos.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, you're you're moving the top half of your
Speaker 1: body around as if more movement is going to get.
Speaker 3: The drivers who are waiting on you the illusion that
Speaker 3: you are that you care enough to at least look
Speaker 3: like you're making faster.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, if you're jeffing though, you will be doing
Speaker 1: this all the time. Thirty on, thirty off. It is
Speaker 1: just taking off out there, according to MSN, Jeffer is
Speaker 1: checking with us over on thenewsjunkie dot com. I can't
Speaker 1: believe I didn't even think about this, but somebody on
Speaker 1: the texting service was trying to guess what you meant
Speaker 1: by you were going jeffing later, and maybe said that
Speaker 1: you were going off to an island somewhere. No God again,
Speaker 1: the shotgun, the gas can. I don't want. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not getting any attachment to any of these weirdo
Speaker 1: predators on any sort of list. I'm staying away from
Speaker 1: everybody who's associated with the Epstein list, just just to
Speaker 1: try to limit any damage.
Speaker 2: I don't want to get involved.
Speaker 1: In this move. I think it's a safe pr move
Speaker 1: for me to do it this way. Can I bring
Speaker 1: something to you guys real quick? I know this is
Speaker 1: like it's gone megaviral, so at least it's in our
Speaker 1: wheelhouse for that reason. But I wouldn't say it's newsworthy.
Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes there's little distractions on the show.
Speaker 1: There is a video that has gotten twenty million views
Speaker 1: and it's People have very different takes on this, and
Speaker 1: my take has been different than most of them. I
Speaker 1: think this video makes me so uncomfortable, more uncomfortable than Jeffing,
Speaker 1: more uncomfortable than running full speed. That that's very, very
Speaker 1: uncomfortable all the time. And here here's the video. It's
Speaker 1: got Matthew McConaughey in it, all right, have you guys
Speaker 1: seen this? I've seen that, all right. Matthew McConaughey and
Speaker 1: Austin Butler and everybody sort of digested this a weird way.
Speaker 1: Some people were saying, these guys hate each other and
Speaker 1: that's what was going on here. But the close talking
Speaker 1: that they're doing and the level of like, I have
Speaker 1: no social anxiety whatsoever. Look how close I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: to you that they're both doing is so uncomfortable to me.
Speaker 1: So have you never met a close talker not like this?
Speaker 4: Look at the distance that they're both down to do it.
Speaker 1: See they're both like good looking guys who have all
Speaker 1: the confidence in the world. They're having a conversation about
Speaker 1: five to six inches away from each other's face, so bad,
Speaker 1: and it's like so close to am I supposed to
Speaker 1: go in?
Speaker 2: Is this like a double dutch kiss situation?
Speaker 4: They're actors, They're used to being this close.
Speaker 5: Consider the angles that you will see sometimes in films
Speaker 5: where they have to be close because of where.
Speaker 4: The camera's at. So they're ready, they're ready to kiss
Speaker 4: in the mouth. I'm excited to see it.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that that?
Speaker 4: Like somebody talking?
Speaker 1: Have you had somebody talk to you that close before
Speaker 1: staring you in your eyes? I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: that close.
Speaker 3: But I knew a guy who was a bit of
Speaker 3: a close talker, and and everybody knew he was a
Speaker 3: close talker. In fact, another friend of mine called him.
Speaker 3: He's like, I have a I have a term for
Speaker 3: these type of people. He's a CZI. He's a comfort
Speaker 3: comfort zone invader. Rew and that that's just the way
Speaker 3: the guy would talk to people. And you kind of
Speaker 3: had to figure out a way to back off without
Speaker 3: letting him, you know, get closer.
Speaker 4: I want to hear how.
Speaker 5: Loud that place is, because I've had people that I
Speaker 5: have to get that close to you, but I am
Speaker 5: not staring them directly in the eyes. Yeah, I'm just
Speaker 5: my good ear is towards their mouth.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I wish you hadn't given the hypothesis that some
Speaker 3: people are coming to that that they hate each other.
Speaker 3: I wish I would have watched this first once and
Speaker 3: then you would have said that and then watched it again,
Speaker 3: because I can't help but like now try to reanalyze everything.
Speaker 4: I'm not getting a hating vibe beer. I think that
Speaker 4: they flow.
Speaker 1: I feel like what's happening is a dance where Matthew
Speaker 1: McConaughey and Austin Butler are both people that will get
Speaker 1: right up near you and have all of the confidence
Speaker 1: in the world about the way they're looking and presenting
Speaker 1: themselves in that moment, and then they'll deadlock eyes with you,
Speaker 1: and I, like, I would be so uncomfortable. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be that close to you. Please, if you
Speaker 1: meet me in public, stay at least six feet away.
Speaker 2: It's just I would need a little bit of room.
Speaker 4: A handful of people saying and accepted right.
Speaker 1: I don't want that. I don't want somebody talking that
Speaker 1: close to my face. It's weird. You know this person's
Speaker 1: ceilian says so many women? What they censored women? Is
Speaker 1: there a reason for censoring women? So many women? Oh,
Speaker 1: this is getting out of control.
Speaker 4: You can't say women anymore.
Speaker 2: I saw war was censored the other day.
Speaker 1: I've seen you know, the R word, not not that one,
Speaker 1: the other one censored so many women in its censored
Speaker 1: discussing this video of Matthew McConaughey and Austin Butler in
Speaker 1: complete ignorance of male dynamics. This is not sexual tension,
Speaker 1: but two men who semi openly hate each other. That's
Speaker 1: what their excuse for this is. I don't know that
Speaker 1: I see that. I think I just see like two
Speaker 1: very low anxiety confident guys Actorsyes, that are actors, and
Speaker 1: that like are so comfortable in these kind of moments,
Speaker 1: whereas I would just be like, can you stop, please?
Speaker 1: This is I don't like this in the slightest there
Speaker 1: we are. Tell us what you think or if you've
Speaker 1: had that happen to you in the past, let us know.

Speaker 1: turned down the sound and a vehicle pulls up at
Speaker 1: the gas station. They got guns. These cartel guys come
Speaker 1: out with guns, chasing everybody away from the gas station,
Speaker 1: yelling at them all around the pumps, and now they
Speaker 1: take the gas pump and they're just pouring it on
Speaker 1: one of them on the ground. They set the whole
Speaker 1: damn place on fire. This is some of the stuff
Speaker 1: that they were doing. They were setting a lot of
Speaker 1: fires around Mexico. Buddy, you don't want to get a
Speaker 1: little bit further from that. He lit this sucker up.
Speaker 1: This was one of the gas stations that was targeted.
Speaker 1: There are many others that were targeted in the wake
Speaker 1: of this cartel leader being killed. They want to make
Speaker 1: Mexico afraid to do this stuff, so they respond with
Speaker 1: violence afterwards. Some of these areas look like war zones.
Speaker 1: Cars on fire and blowing out, so everybody is being
Speaker 1: told to leave the area right now.
Speaker 2: This guy's way calm being cleared out. This is one
Speaker 2: of the resorts.

Speaker 1: Olisco Hallisco is the spot where a lot of this
Speaker 1: was kind of centered. Two point four million views on
Speaker 1: x dot com. The cartel kind of gave for caring
Speaker 1: about a man this much, says this particular tweet. Okay
Speaker 1: response to their reaction afterwards, I hope that guy's in
Speaker 1: like China or something. Where are you posting this from
Speaker 1: Incognito tab number three, the founder of Cryptic Industries and gambler, Ah, sir,
Speaker 1: where are you.
Speaker 2: Posting this from?
Speaker 1: This seems like a bad idea, but it's out there.
Speaker 1: So now we know, all right, calling the cartel gay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they're in this street. It's just trying to cause chaos.
Speaker 1: You don't want to get mixed up in that is.

Speaker 1: work that in.
Speaker 2: Here's angjawa Hey, y'all.
Speaker 15: Jeff Galloway has worked with run Disney for years. They
Speaker 15: actually during all their runs have a pacer that, depending
Speaker 15: on when you're going to finish and what time length,
Speaker 15: that will call out run walk during the intervals. It's
Speaker 15: really helpful. Really, have she run for longer, gives your
Speaker 15: muscles a little arrest. Highly recommend it. We go wigg
Speaker 15: pop up.
Speaker 1: All right, cool, good to hear. We're learning about Jeffing today.
Speaker 1: We're also there's nothing that runs all those I wonder
Speaker 1: if she jeffs yeah, she might ask her you, Jeffers.
Speaker 1: It seems easier than just being a flat out runner
Speaker 1: if you do thirty of each thirty thirty seconds running
Speaker 1: or thirty minutes no thirty seconds.
Speaker 5: Friend of the show and a friend of Celin and
Speaker 5: myself just text both of us saying like Oh, that's
Speaker 5: what I use for marathons as well, so I was
Speaker 5: able to compete. There's a book about it, and I
Speaker 5: spoke for both of us when we can't say same
Speaker 5: on either of those things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've honestly never even heard of it until now,
Speaker 1: but it's same when it makes sense. Today is rate
Speaker 1: my blank and rate my Batman voice is the challenge
Speaker 1: of the day.
Speaker 2: Shark bait is jumping on board.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, what makes you any different? We'll go wearing occupants.
Speaker 2: Okay, she gave it a shot, she tried her best.
Speaker 1: Is that an actual Batman quote?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not sure I got one more?
Speaker 12: Is it?
Speaker 1: John Bannon? I just want everybody to know that I'm
Speaker 1: the real Batman. I'm doing everything I can.
Speaker 2: Broken by the Joker, or.
Speaker 1: He said John Bannon. O.
Speaker 2: John Bannon a bad guy.
Speaker 1: He might appear on mister Freeze's Island, he might be
Speaker 1: on some list, but he's not a bad guy.
Speaker 2: The Penguin some.
Speaker 1: Great things for Gotham, unlike that Superman. That Superman. He
Speaker 1: cannot cook a cheese. All right, thank you? I think
Speaker 1: BDMP one more. Here is somebody whose family is stuck
Speaker 1: in Mexico and.
Speaker 14: He's Yunkies big fan here, So if you want to
Speaker 14: hear more about this cartel thing.
Speaker 1: My mom's actually stuck in Porta Vadererta.
Speaker 14: Or however you say it, and one of the main
Speaker 14: resorts there, and so I've been talking to her all
Speaker 14: night and this morning, and I'm surprised they don't have
Speaker 14: military around her resort, but she said they have it
Speaker 14: roped off pretty well and just local security there, and
Speaker 14: there's just a lot of burnt cars and roadblocks around there,
Speaker 14: but they're on lockdown.
Speaker 1: They're not allowed to leave.
Speaker 14: She seems to think that everything is getting a little
Speaker 14: bit better. However, they're still not allowed to leave the resort,
Speaker 14: and they are unsure when they'll be able to.
Speaker 1: Leave the resorts. Damn, that's brutal. So I'm getting footage and.
Speaker 14: Pictures from her of what's going on, but it sounds
Speaker 14: like maybe the worst of it it's over, so let's hope.
Speaker 1: So I'd like to get my mom back in life.
Speaker 1: What happens if you're at one of those resorts and
Speaker 1: then you're stuck there? Do they just automatically charge you
Speaker 1: for the additional days?
Speaker 4: Great question?
Speaker 1: I don't know. They might have to. I mean, you
Speaker 1: got to do something well, so you'd say, hey, I
Speaker 1: can't travel. There's like a travel advisory. I'm not even
Speaker 1: allowed to go to the airport, and the airport's not
Speaker 1: flying anybody out of here.
Speaker 4: That means no one's coming in.
Speaker 5: Therefore, rooms will remain open because they don't have no guests.
Speaker 3: That was one of the arguments for the person who
Speaker 3: was not allowed to do the late checkout. It was like,
Speaker 3: it's not like anybody's gonna be able to come here
Speaker 3: and check in, so they might.
Speaker 1: As well let me do the late checkout.
Speaker 10: True.
Speaker 1: All right, we got a quick break here, and then
Speaker 1: we'll get to some of the team usay a hockey reaction,
Speaker 1: including the Canadians who are just maulding, just Maulding, melting
Speaker 1: down over their Olympic hockey loss to the Americans down south.
Speaker 1: They're taking chainsaws to their TVs. Folks, we'll bring it
Speaker 1: all to you. That's coming up neck. The US men's
Speaker 1: hockey team, one, the US women's hockey team, I think one.
Speaker 1: I mean we were just we were killing it out
Speaker 1: there in hockey at the Olympics. It was probably one
Speaker 1: of our real bright spots Canada still wanted curling on
Speaker 1: account of the shooting.
Speaker 4: But hey, you don't know what you're talking about. According
Speaker 4: to the Canada player.
Speaker 1: In the world of hockey, we did real well, Usa, USA, USA.
Speaker 1: I thought Sweden was cheating. Or does Sweden call Canada
Speaker 1: out for treating They called for cheating at curling and
Speaker 1: the stones and again, all you curlers can go back
Speaker 1: into obscurity for another three years and then pop back
Speaker 1: out in due time.
Speaker 2: But that this is how things work in the world.
Speaker 1: But Canada lost to the United States of America in
Speaker 1: men's hockey, and god, oh god, were they melting down
Speaker 1: in a very Canadian way. Here's one of the reactions.
Speaker 1: This guy had a chainsaw. I think it took the
Speaker 1: chainsaw to his television safe buddy, Yeah, not a good idea.
Speaker 1: Is cutting the television with the chainsaw?
Speaker 4: So unnecessary, just really dopey.
Speaker 1: This is TVs are too cheap. You could tell when
Speaker 1: people start doing this. Televisions are just too cheap. He's
Speaker 1: taking a chainsaw to his TV as a result of
Speaker 1: the US men's hockey team beating the damn Canadians. I'll
Speaker 1: get a video of this up on see it now.
Speaker 1: For you in just a moment. In fact, I'm grabbing
Speaker 1: it as I speak because I say something earlier then
Speaker 1: I didn't end up putting it on see it now,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to do that to you. I
Speaker 1: want to make sure you have this and you can
Speaker 1: watch it when you get a chance. But they were
Speaker 1: melting down all over the place, Canada upset over hockey loss.
Speaker 1: Got it, there we go, that's up on see it now,
Speaker 1: take a peek when you get a chance over on
Speaker 1: the newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 2: But there was so many videos of this.
Speaker 1: There was videos of Canadians just kind of crying, upset,
Speaker 1: reeling that they had lost in this hockey match. It's
Speaker 1: very important to them. Hockey one of the only things
Speaker 1: they have going for him over in Canada. So they
Speaker 1: felt hurt at their loss, and I don't blame them.
Speaker 1: There was many videos. Here's another one. I have to
Speaker 1: mute this because they do a whole lot of cursing.
Speaker 1: But they just filmed themselves. As you see the moment
Speaker 1: that the US team solidifies victory. They got a Canadian
Speaker 1: flag behind him, they got a hockey stick, the guy
Speaker 1: broke over his knee. They're all drinking Tim Horton's. They
Speaker 1: couldn't be any more Canadian. These people staged. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is full Canadian tim Horton's, Canadian flags, all of the
Speaker 1: accouterments one might expect, and a whole lot of cursing
Speaker 1: as they realized that their team ended up losing. Tim
Speaker 1: Horton's logo facing the camera. Don't love it seems little
Speaker 1: a little bit that makes me speculate, But I do
Speaker 1: love how I keep seeing these videos of at the
Speaker 1: Olympics when they were giving out the medals, they kept
Speaker 1: giving these stuffed animals to the teams, which was so
Speaker 1: funny to me, Like it seemed like such an embarrassing thing.
Speaker 1: When they go around, they're like, here's your silver metal
Speaker 1: and here you go, here's animal.
Speaker 2: The plushy.
Speaker 1: Make sure you put your plushy on your little metal there. Congratulations.
Speaker 4: Does it stand for something or they're just like, we
Speaker 4: know you're going to be alone and sad.
Speaker 2: So it's a mascot for the Olympic Games.
Speaker 1: I saw one of the Olympians work it into the
Speaker 1: metal necklace, so the like the stuff animal kind of
Speaker 1: fits in there and holds your necklace in place. It
Speaker 1: just looks embarrassing for these folks who are at the
Speaker 1: height of their sports career, as many of them to
Speaker 1: get a little stuffed animal. This guy watch this. One
Speaker 1: guy's face is very visual, but this guy who gets
Speaker 1: the stuffed animal, his reaction is just everything to me.
Speaker 1: The guy goes here, you go, you know, all right,
Speaker 1: what the hell? What am I even dealing with here?
Speaker 1: What is this about?
Speaker 2: This is what they give the the silver medal winners.
Speaker 4: All right, loser.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unfortunate for those folks, but he was silver.
Speaker 1: Still good.
Speaker 4: It's not as good second place, it's still.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's fair.
Speaker 1: I'm still impressed with your silver metal, but we got
Speaker 1: the gold baby, and I guess. Also celebrating was the
Speaker 1: director of the FBI, Cash Betel, one of the more
Speaker 1: viral tweets, approaching a million to people fired up about
Speaker 1: this one. Somebody said they're never finding Nancy Guthrie because
Speaker 1: it's got the head of the FBI and he's in
Speaker 1: the locker room partying with team. One of these guys
Speaker 1: puts his metal on him, Yeah, puts his.
Speaker 2: Gold medal around his neck.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're cursing or not, but it
Speaker 1: looks like they're drinking beer and kind of going nuts,
Speaker 1: and it says they're never finding Nancy Guthrie, the head
Speaker 1: of the FBI, is over in Italy celebrating with these folks.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Let me see if I have
Speaker 1: anything else on that front worth talking about. Oh, there
Speaker 1: was a really sweet moment where they brought out a
Speaker 1: teammate of the US team who was killed by a
Speaker 1: drunk driver.
Speaker 5: Him and his brother were killed in twenty twenty four
Speaker 5: just riding their bicycles. They were both there at home
Speaker 5: for the weekend to go to their sister's wedding and
Speaker 5: they're unfortunately tragically killed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this moment they were about to play, Oh
Speaker 4: it got me good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they bought the little kids. They brought their kids
Speaker 1: that were or obviously still at the event, even though
Speaker 1: their father had been killed by this person in an accident,
Speaker 1: and brought them on the ice to be able to
Speaker 1: celebrate the good metal victory with him, which is a
Speaker 1: sweet thing to do. A lot of these dudes tough dudes,
Speaker 1: but still you don't have hearts for things like that
Speaker 1: out there while they're playing hockey. So that'll do it.
Speaker 1: Give us your feedback on all of that stuff. I
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. Now we can go over to let's
Speaker 1: see a couple of emails coming in. Maybe worth pointing
Speaker 1: out somebody, says, Steve says about the Touret situation, Sean,
Speaker 1: though I am a no expert, I viewed Touret's as
Speaker 1: like that scene from Austin Powers where he tries not
Speaker 1: to say anything about the guy's mole on his face,
Speaker 1: even though that's all he can concentrate on, and eventually
Speaker 1: he says something about the guy's mole on his face. Right,
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, have a great week, says Steve.
Speaker 1: Appreciate that, Steve. I don't know if that's exactly right,
Speaker 1: but I think it's close enough that people will get
Speaker 1: an idea of what's actually happening.
Speaker 2: And we got more Batman and coming in.
Speaker 1: For a rate. Mind, someone needs to put some on
Speaker 1: the list. Right, here's Nathan. Oh, hang on, I think
Speaker 1: I might have Nathan. Let me let me get Nathan's
Speaker 1: it's the news junkie.
Speaker 9: Let's go, Shawn c La Sabrina love you guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope god. Hold on, who's the news jokie? Now, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm Batman.
Speaker 2: I knew this is gonna be a bad idea.
Speaker 1: Immediately after contemplating this, knew it was gonna be a
Speaker 1: bad idea blue.
Speaker 2: Sasshole with a dispatch, My.
Speaker 1: News junkies, it's Batman. I came here to do two things,
Speaker 1: kick butt and have parents, and I'm all it was good.
Speaker 2: It was good.
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to win this as bad as a lot
Speaker 1: of these are. One more here's pilot my Hey, News junkies,
Speaker 1: I know it's rate my Batman voice, but I've decided
Speaker 1: to rate my Robert F. Kennedy junior voice. Not far off.
Speaker 1: I'm coming for your vaccines, joker, I'm coming. We've got
Speaker 1: a couple winners and a whole sea of stinker. That's
Speaker 1: what we have so far in our rate my blank
Speaker 1: for a Monday here on the show. It's what we
Speaker 1: do each Monday, and we've been trying a bunch of
Speaker 1: different things out. This being just the latest of the bunch.
Speaker 1: I've seen this. I haven't played this yet, so stay
Speaker 1: by the dump button just in case the audio is
Speaker 1: no good on this. This says this man has been
Speaker 1: living a total nightmare for months. Door Dash somehow has
Speaker 1: this guy's house listed as a taco bell pick up location.
Speaker 1: Every single day, Confused drivers keep showing up at this
Speaker 1: man's door demanding orders that don't exist. Why do they
Speaker 1: go to the door. Don't you drive up to a
Speaker 1: guy's house and no immediately that you're not out a
Speaker 1: taco bell? Taco bell, there's no taco bell sign, there's
Speaker 1: no drive through. All the obvious taco bell signs are
Speaker 1: not there, but here we are. One of them finally
Speaker 1: took a brown paper bag the homeowner handed him and
Speaker 1: immediately called the cops. When the police arrived, they told
Speaker 1: the homeowner, this driver picked up a taco bell order
Speaker 1: from you, but the bag isn't Taco bell, and he's confused.
Speaker 2: The homeowner deadpan, So am I.
Speaker 1: The cops show the brown paper pack the driver had
Speaker 1: sent them and said what's in the bag. The homeowner
Speaker 1: looks them straight in the eyes and said, cat s.
Speaker 1: He says, I'm trying to solve this problem creatively. He said, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'll bring the audio up. Be careful, I'll
Speaker 1: try to make sure the cat part is censored out.
Speaker 1: But here, oh hey go oh it's so low. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm going to try to boost this as much
Speaker 1: as I can. You can leave in the cat parts
Speaker 1: s part we didn't censor it out. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the part I'll try to try to get. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: all right, oh my god, it's so low.
Speaker 3: Okay, he said he came here and picked up a
Speaker 3: taco bell package, but says a taco bell.
Speaker 1: So he was really confused. Yeah, me too. Hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm here to pick up taco.
Speaker 16: Bell and I'm like, I look like a taco bell?
Speaker 1: He says, Do I look like a taco bell? And
Speaker 1: I guess you had put cat poop in one of
Speaker 1: the brown paper bags he's been handing these people. What
Speaker 1: are the cops doing? There is somebody out? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, actually, you're right, I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: that they've committed an actual crime, but yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that happens to you, But godspeed
Speaker 1: to that guy involved in this whole thing on the
Speaker 1: Moses list.
Speaker 2: Yeah, please, what do you?
Speaker 7: What do you do?
Speaker 1: What are your what are your methods of solving this
Speaker 1: kind of problem? Or otherwise we'll ask Moses and just
Speaker 1: a bit here well later on this week for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, somebody else just sent out this in. These
Speaker 1: people doing this to Mexico are the same people ICE
Speaker 1: agents are trying to deport from the US.
Speaker 2: Be grateful to your government, liberals.
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of that's true, but I
Speaker 1: guess they're just pointing out that it's like crime happening
Speaker 1: because of the cartel thing. And you just see all
Speaker 1: the fire spewing up. I think most of it is
Speaker 1: cars set on fire. That's what it looks like. They
Speaker 1: wanted to get stores, some convenience stores and gas stations
Speaker 1: at the gas station earlier that they had set on fire.
Speaker 1: But the sky was completely full of smoke, and you
Speaker 1: could hear all the alarms ringing out all across Mexico.
Speaker 1: Because the cartel wanted to be known that they were angry,
Speaker 1: very upset about all of this. So there you go,
Speaker 1: and let us know what you think. Send a dispatch
Speaker 1: over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Okay, when we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll get to a bunch of stuff we need to
Speaker 1: work in before Monday is officially over. In cops have
Speaker 1: solved a murder in California in the weirdest way, the
Speaker 1: weirdest way, whatever it takes. I guess how do they
Speaker 1: solve this murder? Wait till you hear this. It is
Speaker 1: coming up next in the news, Junkie, let's work in
Speaker 1: some things here. At the end, somebody just emailed and
Speaker 1: maybe we could find out some more about this. I
Speaker 1: didn't hear anything extra, but Julie emails the show and
Speaker 1: she says, Hi, Junkie, sorry if you brought this up
Speaker 1: already today. Yesterday, while in the Lake La Sona district
Speaker 1: of Orlando, around one pm, we heard what sounded like
Speaker 1: a gunshot. Then what followed afterwards can only be described
Speaker 1: as sounded like a firewar warehouse on fire. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: we thought we were under attack. At one point. Do
Speaker 1: you read this off the next door neighbors app Maybe.
Speaker 2: No, this is email coming in here.
Speaker 3: There was a daytime firework display at like Iola my
Speaker 3: daytime fireworks. There were some actual explosive fireworks, but I
Speaker 3: was told a lot of it was like powder cannons ring.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, blew up, Bob, what's going on? Nicole and
Speaker 5: I had heard it and we were like, this is strange.
Speaker 5: Why is this happened during the day? But fireworks? Daytime
Speaker 5: fireworks doesn't make sense. And then you go and you
Speaker 5: look at the video of it, and I haven't seen
Speaker 5: any video. Hot damn, they made some daytime fireworks. But
Speaker 5: they should have given everyone else heads up because it sounded.
Speaker 4: Like we were being bombed.
Speaker 1: It was so yeah, I heard it because I remember
Speaker 1: that happening, and I was that was right when court
Speaker 1: you wanted to lay down for a nap because I
Speaker 1: border with the Lord of the Flies reboots And as
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there working on some stuff, I'm next to
Speaker 1: with my laptop on the bed, and I hear a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of noise, she goes.
Speaker 2: Is that fireworks?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: I think there's some fireworks going off.
Speaker 3: Well, I get it because this is not a time
Speaker 3: of year where you would expect fireworks. A.
Speaker 1: It's not the time of day where you would expect fireworks. B.
Speaker 1: So it's a weird time to have explosions like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: They said they should have let people know about it.
Speaker 3: How did you want to be informed about it?
Speaker 5: Because ring app apparently because everyone else was, were there gunshots?
Speaker 5: Fireworks or gunshots? Just had a ton of noise in
Speaker 5: Thornton Park?
Speaker 4: What was that noise? Multiple banks?
Speaker 5: What's all this boom coming from Lake Iola. What are
Speaker 5: the fireworks for?
Speaker 1: And it goes on and on and on, and nobody,
Speaker 1: nobody looks to see if ten thousand other people have
Speaker 1: posted the same thing.
Speaker 3: It was done at a time where it was Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3: It was like right around Farmer's market time.
Speaker 1: So I had some friends that were there who said
Speaker 1: they they witnessed some of this, but also they saw
Speaker 1: like a couple of dogs who had gotten off leash
Speaker 1: because of this, just like zooming past them. Oh, not scared.
Speaker 1: And it's like, all right, yeah, I don't know how
Speaker 1: you would have liked to have been informed. I know
Speaker 1: they talked about Immerse on TV. I know it was
Speaker 1: in the news. A lot of people don't watch the news,
Speaker 1: But I don't know what they could have done better.
Speaker 1: Put some signs up, maybe oh yeah, people are so sensitive.
Speaker 5: Let her home to let you know about all the
Speaker 5: road closures for whatever marathon they're doing. But just based
Speaker 5: on that reaction, maybe next year, if they're going to
Speaker 5: do daytime fireworks, they give some folks aheads up.
Speaker 4: Because a little part of me was like, this is strange.
Speaker 5: This sounds like a transformer or fifteen all went off
Speaker 5: at the same time.
Speaker 2: I heard it too.
Speaker 4: Fireworks makes sense.
Speaker 1: Now, let's go over to this Burger King. The I
Speaker 1: don't even know what burger fast food restaurant in the
Speaker 1: United States right now. They have launched something to try
Speaker 1: to bring you back to the Burger King fold, to
Speaker 1: bring it back on with the King himself. Burger King
Speaker 1: is giving customers something that most major corporations never would,
Speaker 1: direct access to the president of Burger King.
Speaker 2: All right, the president of a mother show.
Speaker 1: Let's see we might be able to and a new
Speaker 1: initiative announced this week, Burger King president Tom Curtis shared
Speaker 1: his personal phone number. Don't believe that invited diners to
Speaker 1: call or text him directly with complaints, ideas and feedback.
Speaker 1: Guests are our most important advisors, he said. We're grateful
Speaker 1: that they provide feedback that is shaping our brand today
Speaker 1: and in the future. Curtis as he plans to personally
Speaker 1: respond to as many messages as possible, framing the move
Speaker 1: as an effort to strengthen the brand by listening to
Speaker 1: customers firsthand. And he said, here's my number. Now I'll
Speaker 1: pull up the Instagram post so we can hear it him.
Speaker 1: This is him. This is this is him right here. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm Tom Curtis.
Speaker 17: I'm Curtis, president of Burger King, and here's my number.
Speaker 17: I'd love to hear from as many of you as possible.
Speaker 18: This is it.
Speaker 17: So give me a call, shoot me a text, or
Speaker 17: leave me a voicemail. We want to make Burger King
Speaker 17: better and we do that best when we do it
Speaker 17: with you.
Speaker 1: Let's talk too. Yeah, there's a zero chance this guy
Speaker 1: is actually giving out his phone. No, this zero chance,
Speaker 1: and it's it's sort of like on the neighborhood of
Speaker 1: being alive for him to pitch it the way he
Speaker 1: does where he's like, you could, here's my number.
Speaker 2: This is my phone number.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a number, and it's a number where
Speaker 1: you can collect feedback for sure. But this ain't your
Speaker 1: personal cell phone number. Pal, It's just not it's this
Speaker 1: is you just messaging the Burger King Corporation?
Speaker 2: Or can you call it?
Speaker 1: What did he say?
Speaker 2: What happens if I call it?
Speaker 1: Let me try it a ring.
Speaker 5: People are sending their complaints to our texting service. I
Speaker 5: just want to like, you don't know that that doesn't
Speaker 5: take place. But I've gotten five of them.
Speaker 4: Hey, burger King.
Speaker 5: How about offering hot correctly ordered and made food in
Speaker 5: a reasonable amount of time.
Speaker 4: That'd be great.
Speaker 2: Is that too much to ask?
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be, all right, I'm trying one three oh
Speaker 1: five eight three h five. Isn't that Miami?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I believe it, all right, Miami. That's where the hockey
Speaker 1: team is celebrating right now on the streets of Miami
Speaker 1: in a double decker bush. He might not be available,
Speaker 1: then he might be with them, him and Cash Betel
Speaker 1: hockey team.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Three oh five eight seven four o five two. Oh okay, Hey,
Speaker 1: there's Tom burger King.
Speaker 16: I really appreciate you calling to share your thoughts on
Speaker 16: your BK experience or just on DK in general. Your
Speaker 16: feedback is really important to me, and we have tons
Speaker 16: of calls coming in right now, which is awesome.
Speaker 1: I bet, but it also means that I can't.
Speaker 16: Return every single Oh, we'll sell you this. We are
Speaker 16: looking at every single one, every single text and listening
Speaker 16: to everything voicemail. So record your message after the beat,
Speaker 16: or you can text me at this number and we're.
Speaker 1: Gonna get that. Okay. I've seen people in the thread here.
Speaker 1: I don't know how true this is or not. Somebody
Speaker 1: try this out. All right, I'm gonna give out the
Speaker 1: number to everybody, and I want you guys to all
Speaker 1: simultaneously do this. Everybody, get ready. Everybody listen and get
Speaker 1: ready and take this number. You guys put the number
Speaker 1: in chat too, okay, because we're gonna well, we'll bomb
Speaker 1: them right now and see if anybody gets a response.
Speaker 1: This is our ultimate test to see if Burger King
Speaker 1: is actually listening to any of this.
Speaker 2: So here's what they said.
Speaker 1: Is the president of Burger King his phone number three
Speaker 1: oh five eight seven, four oh five two oh three
Speaker 1: oh five eight seven, four oh five two oh If
Speaker 1: we all bomb text this person right now. Some people
Speaker 1: are saying this is actually real. I texted them and
Speaker 1: got a reply. Uh just call the left of voicemail
Speaker 1: very curious. I would call me back, riddle me this.
Speaker 5: Are we also going to get some new deals? And
Speaker 5: if you act now texts in a couple months where.
Speaker 1: Maybe in the Marketingloye you could There is a thing
Speaker 1: about hey, where you should pay attention to afterwards. Why
Speaker 1: is there a lot of people talk about Kazakhstan? What
Speaker 1: what is this about? Half of the comments are about Kazakhstan.
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example, mister Curtis. I'm writing from Kazakhstan.
Speaker 1: Burger King's reputation here is being damaged by his serious
Speaker 1: inclusion and workplace harassment case. A twenty seven year old
Speaker 1: employee with autism. Ab Leck worked at Burger King Kazakhstan
Speaker 1: for four years with no issues. After new regional management arrived,
Speaker 1: he was reportedly bullied and pressured out.
Speaker 2: Oh, this is like the Cracker Barrel thing all over.
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, bet Brad's wife getting fired from
Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel. Now, after the case became public, employees are
Speaker 1: allegedly being pushed to spread a narrative that he was
Speaker 1: aggressive and dangerous justified the decision. This contradicts Burger King's
Speaker 1: global values and is causing major public backlashing Kazakhstan. And
Speaker 1: they said we want an investigation. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: a lot of Kazakhstan. Mister President, please help for Kazakhstan.
Speaker 1: Can you please pay attention to Burger King branch and Kazakhstan.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that in these these comments. But
Speaker 1: everybody sent a text three oh five eight seven four
Speaker 1: five to two oh and we'll run a test on
Speaker 1: this to see if anybody's actually getting a reply. I
Speaker 1: think there's no chance this guy's telling the truth when
Speaker 1: he says this phone number one. Yeah, I'm aware you're
Speaker 1: a liar, Tom King, and here's my number.
Speaker 17: I'd love to hear from as many of you as possible,
Speaker 17: So give me a call, shoot me a text, or
Speaker 17: leave me a voicemail.
Speaker 1: We want to make burger King better. I have a comment, Tom,
Speaker 1: I have a comment about a burger King near me
Speaker 1: that is really concerning. Just say, you know, it's like
Speaker 1: a burger king that they have the lights, they have
Speaker 1: employees and outfits and everything. The one thing they don't
Speaker 1: seem to do is make burger king food. They don't
Speaker 1: seem to actually make any burger King food, making me
Speaker 1: think that it's a front for something.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it is or if.
Speaker 1: It isn't, or if it's a Kazakhstan situation, but I
Speaker 1: get the feeling that this place is doing something else
Speaker 1: other than selling burger King food because every time I've tried,
Speaker 1: which granted hasn't been in about six months or a
Speaker 1: year or so, just that one time a year, you know,
Speaker 1: how it is, you wake up that one time a
Speaker 1: year when you want, I want that burger King chicken sandwich,
Speaker 1: the long one. Now usually for me it's the croissant witch.
Speaker 1: Those are good too, sometimes with a little medallion. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I get it once a year. One time a year
Speaker 1: I get I probably went and had a little too
Speaker 1: much to drink the night before, and I think you
Speaker 1: know what I want, switching it up from your breakfast burritos,
Speaker 1: your McDonald's. Yeah. Yeah, And I'll say I want something
Speaker 1: different for burg King and then it'll be a failure
Speaker 1: every time. The place never makes anything. So there's my
Speaker 1: question to you, Tom. But we'll see everybody. Do you
Speaker 1: send a text over there and maybe he responds, maybe
Speaker 1: he doesn't. I don't think he's actually looking at this
Speaker 1: phone or paying any attention to it at all. I
Speaker 1: think he's doing burger King things.
Speaker 2: But tell us what you get as a reaction.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here, we'll get into some more
Speaker 1: of your your dispatches, stories that didn't make the cut,
Speaker 1: all of that good stuff. To wrap everything up on
Speaker 1: a Monday here on the show. In fact, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll come back with all of that
Speaker 1: and more, and that is coming up next, So then
Speaker 1: to use junk kie. I saw cameo is trying to
Speaker 1: get people to buy camios cameos for the the Hockey
Speaker 1: Olympics wins. And they're like, look, we've got the men's
Speaker 1: hockey team in the in the women's talk team players
Speaker 1: And I don't know if anybody's actually from anything recent,
Speaker 1: because when I brought this up, I was like, well,
Speaker 1: they got the players already on cameo, but they said
Speaker 1: from the nineteen eighties team. Okay, that's like the Miracle
Speaker 1: on Ice team I think. Or this one says Laylah Edwards.
Speaker 1: Is she out there right now? Because this is US
Speaker 1: women's Olympic gold medals? La Ila Edwards and Taylor, he says,
Speaker 1: are female players. I wonder how much these are.
Speaker 5: I mean, she was born in two thousand and four,
Speaker 5: so I can imagine she's part of this, the new
Speaker 5: gold medal women's hockey team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be. I see her on the page's
Speaker 1: she's all dressed up for the gig. I don't know
Speaker 1: if she's on the team this year, but it would seem.
Speaker 4: Like maybe no represented in two thousand and two. I
Speaker 4: didn't get it down twenty two.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Okay, yeah, so it was from the last Olympic.
Speaker 1: That's what I said, because it says Olympic hockey gold medalist,
Speaker 1: get a cameo from an Olympic hockey start to celebrate
Speaker 1: the big win. But none of them are the people
Speaker 1: who just won the game. It's a bunch of older
Speaker 1: things that are out there. The other people are too much,
Speaker 1: the partying too hard. They're in Miami partying and up
Speaker 1: right now. I didn't get any text backs. It says
Speaker 1: she was the first black woman to win gold with
Speaker 1: Team USA Hockey. Yeah, but wait's history. This was a
Speaker 1: day ago.
Speaker 2: Oh really? Okay, so that's she is on the active team.
Speaker 3: And I guess her family at first they weren't going
Speaker 3: to be able to attend the Olympics, and they try
Speaker 3: to go fund me, and then Jason Kelsey, I guess
Speaker 3: put up some money to send him over there.
Speaker 1: Nice. That's cool, all right, I got that's great. Well,
Speaker 1: she's the actual player for fifty bucks on cameo. If
Speaker 1: anybody's getting swept up in that Olympics felt, I think
Speaker 1: that's not bad for a cameo, right, No, it was
Speaker 1: pretty low. Yeah, fifty bucks for somebody when you just
Speaker 1: won a gold medal. There's a lot of attention on you,
Speaker 1: at least at that point. All right, nobody got any
Speaker 1: text back, I don't think from Burger King, at least
Speaker 1: not that I've seen. And seems like scammer Rooney on
Speaker 1: the Burger King part. Really seems like it's not your
Speaker 1: president's actual cell phone number as advertised. Now we get
Speaker 1: into the final dispatches, so there's a song for that
Speaker 1: and everything. These are the final dispatches, but Sean will
Speaker 1: probably only play true. Let's see, let's see, let's clear
Speaker 1: the deck. Here is a rate my blank Monday, and
Speaker 1: I said today we're going full corny, and boy did
Speaker 1: we ever rate my Batman is the challenge for today,
Speaker 1: And so far there's been two good ones and just
Speaker 1: a lot of really really bad ones. But maybe we
Speaker 1: got something good. Here's Lee Road. No, that's quite short,
Speaker 1: Lee Road. That's the shortest dispatch. I think I've ever
Speaker 1: got Batman stuff. Animally just said Batman, that's it, all right,
Speaker 1: that's your intrigue.
Speaker 2: Here's swilly.
Speaker 1: Batman. I live in the shadows. Forgot them. It's not
Speaker 1: like a metal bad Yeah, forgot them. I thought we're
Speaker 1: gonna break out into a song there or maybe you were.
Speaker 1: Here's bone In. We are way up on your face
Speaker 1: bone In for this video dispatch, I am whack Man
Speaker 1: at the pop pop all right by whack Man.
Speaker 4: It was popun idea.
Speaker 1: One more, Here's twin.
Speaker 18: Pro Alford asked me why I do the things I
Speaker 18: do at night to fight Croy and protect this city.
Speaker 18: It's because my parents didn't hug me enough because they're dead.
Speaker 1: Not the worst, Rachel, last one. This is the last
Speaker 1: one for the rate my batman. Oh I got personal.
Speaker 1: It's a bat.
Speaker 18: Is it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be like echo location from a bat.
Speaker 1: I think that is. I think that was the point.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was, but I think that
Speaker 1: was the point. We have to crowd of victory.
Speaker 2: We had real stinkers.
Speaker 1: Danger was the guy that had the batman. Stop it.
Speaker 1: Lewis sasshole, a lot of parents. That was a funny one.
Speaker 3: Pilot Mike with an RFK Batman Lee Road had the
Speaker 3: shortest dispatch ever and Swilly laughed his way through it.
Speaker 4: I like the first one was that that was the
Speaker 4: wait stop it or something like that.
Speaker 2: Wait stop it? Okay, Danger, Danger, let me see.

Speaker 1: On the way out, let's just make sure we've got
Speaker 1: everything worked in. I didn't get to this California murder
Speaker 1: that they I think are working on here, but a
Speaker 1: man was arrested on suspicion of murder after they found
Speaker 1: a missing seventeen year old South California girl. Southern California girl.
Speaker 1: They found her leg in the desert. This woman, Tenaya
Speaker 1: Tovar seventeen was reported missing on December one of last year,
Speaker 1: and they hadn't seen her since. They said, you traveled
Speaker 1: more than seventy miles that day, and she used to
Speaker 1: share her location with her family members, but she stopped
Speaker 1: that on the day she disappeared, and they found a
Speaker 1: human leg out in the middle of the desert and
Speaker 1: got a positive DNA match for this missing girl.
Speaker 3: I got a text back from Burger King, No, thank
Speaker 3: you so much for sharing your feedback with Tom at

Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you just put all caps stop.
Speaker 4: Asked if they know where the rest of that girl
Speaker 4: is After finding the land.
Speaker 1: We've only got a leg. We need more pieces. Also
Speaker 1: over the weekend, a bad news out of the NFL.
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore was found dead, the NFL wide receiver who
Speaker 1: had some injuries at just twenty five years old. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: this happened in New Albany, and they said it was
Speaker 1: a self inflicted gunshot wound. For the former NFL wide receiver,
Speaker 1: poor dude twenty five going through a lot of stuff,
Speaker 1: I guess. He was traded to the Atlanta Falcons in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. He dislocated his right knee during training
Speaker 1: camp and never ended up playing for them. Then he
Speaker 1: signed for the Vikings in twenty twenty five, but blew
Speaker 1: out his left knee while returning a punt in the
Speaker 1: first exhibition game. Spent a whole season on injured reserve.
Speaker 1: He was so distraught after immediately realizing the seriousness of
Speaker 1: that injury, he slammed his hand down on a cart
Speaker 1: so hard the sound was audible throughout the stadium. And
Speaker 1: because of these injuries and maybe some other things, he
Speaker 1: ended up taking his own life. Unfortunately. Jesus, all right,
Speaker 1: we got to get the hell out of here. We
Speaker 1: have done enough damage for the day, and that is
Speaker 1: bringing us to the finish line.
Speaker 2: So let's get out of here. Let's do today.
Speaker 14: I learn following information may make you feel smarter, but
Speaker 14: will not actually increase your IQ.
Speaker 1: So don't get cocky.
Speaker 18: Now it's done.
Speaker 1: What we call today, it is today I learned for
Speaker 1: a Monday, February twenty third, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Today learn on this show right here, Kick.
Speaker 1: Hill kicks correct, Bottle Hill, King of the Hill, propane.
Speaker 1: I would also take it just propane if you just
Speaker 1: shouted that out. But on King of the Hill, something
Speaker 1: that they talked about dead butt syndrome aka diminished gluteal
Speaker 1: syndrome in season five with King of the Hill is
Speaker 1: a real medical condition.
Speaker 2: The lack of butt muscle is also called.
Speaker 1: Sleepy glutes, flabby butt, or long back to the sleepy
Speaker 1: gluten and pancake gas. Come on. There are exercises that
Speaker 1: can address this, and on King of the Hill, turned
Speaker 1: out that Hank Hill had an issue with that. It
Speaker 1: would appear.
Speaker 2: Let's see what else, Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: What do we know Tom Brady from his son in
Speaker 1: the mouth. Both of those things are correct, Yeah, congratulations,
Speaker 1: Both of those things are accurate and correct. But Tom
Speaker 1: Brady is such a phenom. He's better than just being
Speaker 1: good at football, He's also good at baseball. It seems
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was also a skilled baseball player growing up.
Speaker 1: He was drafted by the Montreal Expos in nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: five in the MLB Draft. Upon his retirement in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, he became the last active pro athlete to
Speaker 1: be drafted by the Expos as a bit a publicity stunt,
Speaker 1: if you will, that they wanted to do in the
Speaker 1: baseball world today, learn this guy right here. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys are gonna get this. Yeah, Hell
Speaker 1: l is right, El Louis.
Speaker 2: That's right Luther Vandross.
Speaker 1: I only had to sound really dumb for a second
Speaker 1: or two to get you to get that one right
Speaker 1: Today and during his career, Luther Vandros achieved seven number
Speaker 1: one songs on the Billboard R and B Singles Chart.
Speaker 1: He also secured eight number one albums on the R
Speaker 1: and B Album's chart. Despite this, he never had a
Speaker 1: number one hit in his entire life, and his first
Speaker 1: number one album Wasn't It was achieved after he had died.
Speaker 1: Then Share gave him that Grammy. That's true she was
Speaker 1: trying to say Luther by Kendrick Lamar and Sizza. That's true.
Speaker 1: That was a that was a shocking moment for his
Speaker 1: family for just a bit there. Luther Ronzoni Vandros Junior
Speaker 1: was the guy's actual name. Died back in two thousand
Speaker 1: and five. Just in case you were wondering. He uh
Speaker 1: was an American R and B and soul singer, songwriter,
Speaker 1: and record producer. Sold over forty million records worldwide.
Speaker 2: Not too shabby, pal today.
Speaker 1: I learned three months before nine to eleven, which is
Speaker 1: now a imorialized by kids doing nine to eleven style
Speaker 1: buildings and mockups for their social studies projects and school.
Speaker 1: As we learned earlier, very interesting, but back then was
Speaker 1: more of just a tragedy kind of thing. Three months
Speaker 1: before nine to eleven, there was a band called I
Speaker 1: Am the World Trade Center that released a song called September,
Speaker 1: which was the eleventh track on the album. So weird
Speaker 1: might want to just kind of rally up these guys
Speaker 1: and ask the questions if you haven't done that already.
Speaker 1: Out of the Loop was the first album from American
Speaker 1: synthpop duo I Am the World Trade Center. Less than
Speaker 1: two months later. It gained controversy after the September eleventh
Speaker 1: attacks due to both the band's name and the title
Speaker 1: of their eleventh track on the album, September. I do
Speaker 1: like how people will see something like that and they'll go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this can't be a coincidence.
Speaker 8: They knew.
Speaker 1: They knew, you guys. It's like you think they knew
Speaker 1: there was going to be a terrorist attack on the
Speaker 1: United States of America. And they named their band and
Speaker 1: their album and a song after.
Speaker 5: It, and they tried to tell us, Yeah, had one
Speaker 5: of his lyrics was like blow up like the World Trade, you.
Speaker 4: Know, and you know what happened.
Speaker 1: He knew, and that there was another one too, there's
Speaker 1: another like blow up with It's something that happened before.
Speaker 1: That was the first time that yeah, where they bombed
Speaker 1: that sucker. Second time took the building down though. And finally,
Speaker 1: let's see here today learned this band right here? Good
Speaker 1: luck everybody, that's right. The Temptations lead singer David Ruffin,
Speaker 1: lead singer of the Temptations. I guess they're all kind
Speaker 1: of lead singers in a way, right, Maybe not. He
Speaker 1: died in a West Philadelphia crackhouse born and raised in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. He died in a crack house. This guy,
Speaker 1: his family said he had forty thousand dollars in cash
Speaker 1: on his person at the time, died from an accidental
Speaker 1: overdose of crack cocaine at fifty years old. That's nice
Speaker 1: for the crack house to not take his money, true,
Speaker 1: just left and right on him. It was he was respected.
Speaker 1: He was a member of the Temptation for God's sake.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much hanging with us. We do appreciate it.
