Speaker 1: people in Jamaica, which we'll get toward Jamaican friends here
Speaker 1: in just a moment. But right now, let's put our
Speaker 1: ears to the ground, our fingers on the pulse. Unless
Speaker 1: he was happening in this great, big, wide world of ours,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's been listening to the show
Speaker 1: or what's going on, but as of yesterday, it's the
Speaker 1: first time that Trump out on the road has personally
Speaker 1: targeted me. Personally targeted me. I mean, you might as
Speaker 1: well have. Like he made it clear that he doesn't
Speaker 1: he doesn't like me. I don't know why. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'll play this. We'll just go to the clip here
Speaker 1: and we'll start off the show requiteed love. I mean
Speaker 1: this is in Japan. Oh no, oh god no, So
Speaker 1: it's in Japan. Japan, that's where Trump is and he
Speaker 1: directly goes full force against me. Oh hang on, I
Speaker 1: have to turn this up. I want to make sure
Speaker 1: everybody can hear this loud and clear. It's this important stuff.
Speaker 1: Now we're good here. We are from the men and
Speaker 1: women of the rank and file. That's true.
Speaker 3: It comes from you people, incredible people, good looking people.
Speaker 3: Too many good looking people. I don't like good looking people.
Speaker 3: Good looking people. I'll be honest with you. I've never
Speaker 3: admitted that before. But see I'm allowed to see. You
Speaker 3: know we wanted the Supreme Court a thing based on merit.
Speaker 3: You know about that, right merit.
Speaker 1: I don't understand the segue afterwards, but full on shot
Speaker 1: at me.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: You heard it in all of the four K audio
Speaker 1: versions that you possibly could have. He says, I don't
Speaker 1: like good looking people. He is clearly talking about me
Speaker 1: at this Yokosuka Naval base and and this is the
Speaker 1: same speech as the mosquitos. This is the same mosquitoes.
Speaker 1: Good looking people. I never did. It was a whole
Speaker 1: I'll play here from the men and women of the
Speaker 1: rank and file. That's true. It comes from you people.
Speaker 3: Incredible people, good looking people, too many good looking people.
Speaker 3: I don't like good looking people, and I liked good
Speaker 3: looking people. I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I never liked good looking people. Let's go back to
Speaker 1: Trump on Mosquito, and here he is. Remember what you
Speaker 1: just heard, Uh, this is Trump. I don't like mosquitoes.
Speaker 1: I don't like those mosquitoes. I never did any very close.
Speaker 4: I say, how awkward will it be with his current
Speaker 4: wife lady?
Speaker 5: Who is I believe a former model before they go there?
Speaker 1: Too bad?
Speaker 5: That would be defined as good looking person.
Speaker 1: It's right behind the scenes. Yeah, I mean, I personally
Speaker 1: am just going to try to work through this myself
Speaker 1: and see how I handle it today. I know that
Speaker 1: you guys don't feel very targeted by this. I understand that,
Speaker 1: I get it. It's just, you know, it's quite quite
Speaker 1: obvious that this was directed at me. Actually, I'm not
Speaker 1: feeling I'm not feeling very I'm not feeling very good
Speaker 1: looking today. No I don't need that. I don't need
Speaker 1: Remember what I told you. I was trying to get
Speaker 1: to two hundred by the roast and uh and it's
Speaker 1: been raining, so I want to here five hundred pounds
Speaker 1: if I'm ten twenty. We got a whole got a
Speaker 1: whole other problem.
Speaker 5: We would have to roll you in.
Speaker 1: We might. I don't even know if I'll get through the.
Speaker 4: Entrance of the place after all that email to Judson's like,
Speaker 4: don't worry about the you know, furniture and decorations. We
Speaker 4: do have to wheel in a one thousand pounds person.
Speaker 1: Can we the piano and scoop Sean's lard ass into
Speaker 1: the piano? He's ten twenty. No, I was trying to
Speaker 1: get down. I was going from two fourteen all the
Speaker 1: way down to like two oh eight, back up the
Speaker 1: two ten, and I was like, what, how brutal is
Speaker 1: this going to be here? For me? Your boss?
Speaker 5: Getting ready for winter?
Speaker 1: It must be. I'm like a bear hibernation is near.
Speaker 1: I've gotta absolutely prepare for this, but it feels like
Speaker 1: a personal shot. We will take your comments today. Of course,
Speaker 1: you can join us on the show. Senters what we
Speaker 1: call a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com and you
Speaker 1: can also email the show at any time to get
Speaker 1: your opinion on in front of us. If it's interesting,
Speaker 1: I'll read it to tips at thenewsjunkie dot com. Obviously,
Speaker 1: what's happening in Jamaica is a tough one today.
Speaker 5: Thanks they hit last night, so it's slowed down.
Speaker 1: It is going so slow that between yesterday's show and
Speaker 1: today it has hardly moved. This is a category five
Speaker 1: storm just spinning at Jamaica like a buzzsaw right now
Speaker 1: at one hundred and seventy five mile an hour winds ish.
Speaker 1: And the only good news is this. I don't know
Speaker 1: how much he knows about Jamaica.
Speaker 4: The last time I've seen a radar where it's mean whack,
Speaker 4: it's it's.
Speaker 1: Mean the on account of Jamaica. How dare you? Uh?
Speaker 1: The good news is? The only good news is you
Speaker 1: said it? Dar? The western part, the western part of
Speaker 1: Jamaica is not where a lot of the people live.
Speaker 1: It's only like twenty percent of the population. And that's
Speaker 1: the part where it's a lot of people. Of course
Speaker 1: it is, but it's a it's a small piece of
Speaker 1: good news. And what could you know only be a
Speaker 1: bad news soup here if we wanted it to be.
Speaker 1: But I know right now it's really gross there. A
Speaker 1: lot of the power is going out, as you can
Speaker 1: imagine in these places, and we don't really know exactly
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with the storm afterwards because it has
Speaker 1: gone so slow. I mean, it's just crawling along.
Speaker 4: So it has been determined for sure the biggest hurricane
Speaker 4: to hit Jamaica and its history. But I saw a
Speaker 4: headline yesterday like on Earth is that now pushed us all?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know about that, but it's definitely
Speaker 1: the strongest hurricane to make landfall in Jamaica. Hurricane Melissa
Speaker 1: is without a down one hundred and seventy five mile
Speaker 1: an hour.
Speaker 5: Winsay to Gomel.
Speaker 1: You guys will remember, Look, we went to Jamaica. We
Speaker 1: did the show live from Jamaica one time years ago.
Speaker 1: I don't know how long ago, five years ago, six
Speaker 1: years ago, it was twenty twenty one, I think was it.
Speaker 1: We did the show live from Jamaica for half a
Speaker 1: week or something. And when we did this, we landed
Speaker 1: at the airport and they put us on a bus
Speaker 1: and we drove this crazy bus all the way over
Speaker 1: to I think it was was a white house Jamaica
Speaker 1: where we ended up going. And along the way, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of glad that we had to drive from the
Speaker 1: airport to there because along the way we got to see,
Speaker 1: you know, actual Jamaica. Yeah, and I'll tell you the
Speaker 1: thing that is most concerning is in Jamaica, a lot
Speaker 1: of these houses don't look like they're built up to
Speaker 1: the code you might see and let's say Florida or something.
Speaker 1: A lot of the houses are a little bit more
Speaker 1: ramshackle in some cases than you would expect. And one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five mile in our winds might just
Speaker 1: tear through some of these. That's the trouble. But it's
Speaker 1: going so slow that even at the end of the
Speaker 1: show today, it'll still be hovering right over the top
Speaker 1: of Jamaica and out there churning out in the ocean.
Speaker 1: It says extremely dangerous and life threatening situation. Take cover now.
Speaker 1: That's all caps from the National Weather Service. Failure to
Speaker 1: adequately shelter may result in serious injury and loss of life.
Speaker 1: Residents in Jamaica that experienced the eye should not leave
Speaker 1: their shelter as winds will rapidly increase within the backside
Speaker 1: of the eyewall of Melissa. And they said to protect yourself,
Speaker 1: the best thing you could do is put as many
Speaker 1: walls as possible between yourself and the outside. Go inside
Speaker 1: with the room without windows, and just kind of hunker down,
Speaker 1: as they say over and over and over. Around this time,
Speaker 1: they're talking about explosion sounds, trees bending over, pressure in
Speaker 1: their ears, like they could feel the pressure, and.
Speaker 5: Just walking around started.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's gonna rain and it's gonna storm for
Speaker 1: quite a long time.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: Let's just peek in with the Weather channel. Let's see
Speaker 1: what they say about this.
Speaker 6: All right, guys, some brand information. As the hurricane hunters
Speaker 6: have made the first pass of their morning travels, the
Speaker 6: first of courses. The Air Force plane that left Kirosl.
Speaker 6: The plane that's coming from the north is the Noah
Speaker 6: plane from Lakeland.
Speaker 1: Hurricane there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the news from the United States Air Force as
Speaker 6: they went through this thing. Eight hundred and ninety three
Speaker 6: point five milli bars.
Speaker 1: All right, that's the drop. Okay.
Speaker 6: Remember we started with a nine oh one from the
Speaker 6: five AM Advisor. We didn't change in eight because we
Speaker 6: didn't have a plane out there.
Speaker 1: Now we do.
Speaker 6: Now we've gotten a drop to eight hundred ninety three
Speaker 6: millibars slowed a little bit. That is the fourth the
Speaker 6: pressure on record in the Atlantic basin right now as
Speaker 6: I'm telling you about it, and you saw the wind
Speaker 6: from the hurricane.
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's the fourth lowest pressure wise
Speaker 1: in the Atlantic that's recorded.
Speaker 6: He said, up around two hundred miles an hour. There
Speaker 6: it is right there. It's actually off the scale.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 6: Our chart here so absolutely incredible. All right, So now
Speaker 6: they go out the east side of it getting you know,
Speaker 6: obviously they're going to measure the length of those hurricane
Speaker 6: force winds. How far out did they extend from the center,
Speaker 6: and likely that eye is crazy to me, part of
Speaker 6: this kind of inner not the most inner eye wall,
Speaker 6: but the kind of this outer eye wall.
Speaker 1: Is coming on shore right now.
Speaker 6: Those are going to be sustained hurricane force winds down
Speaker 6: near the Black River area and down in toward Jamaica.
Speaker 1: Damn man, that's going to be a rough day. So
Speaker 1: we'll thak in and see what's going on throughout the
Speaker 1: day there.
Speaker 7: To compare what he just said, he said, what was
Speaker 7: it eight hundred and ninety sixty six. The strongest Atlanta
Speaker 7: hurricane on record by intensity is Hurricane Wilma, which reached
Speaker 7: a record low central pressure pressure of eight hundred and
Speaker 7: eighty two millibars.
Speaker 1: Jesus, that's that's about as close as you get there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety six mb and one of the
Speaker 1: strongest Atlantic hurricanes. So good luck to everybody in Jamaica.
Speaker 1: About one point five million people in the in the area,
Speaker 1: and the Red Cross is saying this could be like
Speaker 1: the storm of the century. So we will watch what's
Speaker 1: going on and keep an eye on these folks. And
Speaker 1: if you're around there, you know somebody around there, let
Speaker 1: us know what's going on and we'll keep you updated.
Speaker 1: So we have a lot to get into today. That's
Speaker 1: just one of the many things. We will also see
Speaker 1: what you have for us on the emails and dispatch
Speaker 1: your side, and you can email the show as I
Speaker 1: always tell you at tips tips at the Newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: We have another another performance at a sports game that
Speaker 1: has become a controversy. I thought the Bad Bunny one
Speaker 1: was enough for everybody, but no, no, no, well this
Speaker 1: was just too far. Who performed and who's apologizing right now.
Speaker 1: We'll get into it because that is coming up next
Speaker 1: on the News Junkie elsewhere on Planet Earth. I almost
Speaker 1: can tell you that it was early this morning when
Speaker 1: the World Series Game three finally ended, because that damn
Speaker 1: game went on for so long. For those of you
Speaker 1: who didn't watch, which is probably a decent amount of you,
Speaker 1: the baseball game went on for eighteen innings.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, fans in the standstill.
Speaker 1: Oh, I would like to know, like, who's still left?
Speaker 1: It's just as night. No, no, it's almost midnight. It
Speaker 1: with three three in the morning for Toronto fans who
Speaker 1: were watching. I guess it says the clock with ten
Speaker 1: minutes shy of midnight in Los Angeles and three in
Speaker 1: the morning back in Toronto. How does yeah? That works?
Speaker 1: That works? That makes sense. The warm game time temperatures
Speaker 1: had given away to nighttime cold, so it was like
Speaker 1: completely and totally different tempts than the game started out
Speaker 1: because it got dark outside. They were in the eighteenth inning.
Speaker 1: The game tied the record for the longest World Series
Speaker 1: game in history, and they said it was a thriller
Speaker 1: from start to finish, and I can I can disagree
Speaker 1: it was. It was a thriller from start to finish.
Speaker 1: Why do you disagree? How could it be?
Speaker 7: How could you go so many innings with no score?
Speaker 7: And that'd be thrilling because it was.
Speaker 1: So close to being a score, And it's like, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: You guys just don't like baseball. You don't understand it.
Speaker 5: Your baseball baseball. But after a certain amount of time,
Speaker 5: it seems like a lot.
Speaker 1: All right, who's your favorite player on the Dodgers?
Speaker 4: On the Dodgers. I'm not a fan of the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: I'm a Miami Marlins fan.
Speaker 1: Till I doubt you should know at least one player
Speaker 1: on the Dodgers. He's kind of a big deal. Oh yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I forgot exactly how much he makes. But it's close
Speaker 1: to a jillion dollars. It's very it's it's up there
Speaker 1: a little bit. So yeah. The game ended in the
Speaker 1: eighteenth inning. The Dodgers take a two to one series
Speaker 1: lead on the Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 7: My recap on Google here only shows it doesn't even
Speaker 7: show the first eight innings because it doesn't have the
Speaker 7: room for it. I can't do it as a start
Speaker 7: like it it starts at inning nine zero. There's a
Speaker 7: until we get to enning eighteen up Dodgers score games ze.
Speaker 1: I feel like this. When they were programming the scoreboards,
Speaker 1: they go, don't worry, we'll never have to get to
Speaker 1: eighteenth inning. We won't need this information. But they did.
Speaker 1: It went on for a very long time last night,
Speaker 1: and there were some people who have been a little upset.
Speaker 1: They've been a little bit upset during the World Series.
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure how long they've been doing this for,
Speaker 1: but during the World Series they had a mini equivalent
Speaker 1: of a halftime performance, if you will. You know, in
Speaker 1: the middle of the game, they stopped for a second
Speaker 1: and they introduced a musical act, and people got mad.
Speaker 1: They got really mad, and it wasn't bad bunny, all right,
Speaker 1: This wasn't a bad bunny thing. It just kind of
Speaker 1: shows me that people get mad at whatever. People get
Speaker 1: mad at free a lot in twenty twenty five, because
Speaker 1: you didn't pay for this. This wasn't a big deal
Speaker 1: here for you financially. But they got mad because in
Speaker 1: the middle of the game they said, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: we'll be back to the Dodgers Blue Jays game very soon.
Speaker 1: I'd like you to welcome the Jonas Brothers. AH, and
Speaker 1: the Jonas Brothers came out on stage. Oh wait, they
Speaker 1: must have flown in for this. They were just here,
Speaker 1: were they? I guess they did that? Yeah? Could they
Speaker 1: went out there? They played over the weekend during the
Speaker 1: World Series, and they did. Of all the people doing
Speaker 1: you monsters, you monsters, you whiners, a world full of whiners,
Speaker 1: free things. You're like, just change the channel and go back.
Speaker 1: The band goes up there, the Jonas Brothers, and they
Speaker 1: played a tribute to cancer survivors. Okay, what a bunch
Speaker 1: of dicks. Wow, how unbelievably rude. People said, you stopped
Speaker 1: the game for a performance. I'm sorry, this isn't the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Somebody said there's no halftime show, so ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Somebody else said why these guys? Why now? And whenever
Speaker 1: I hear this kind stuff, I'm like, imagine being this person, like,
Speaker 1: imagine this is your life. The game will be back
Speaker 1: on after two Jonas Brothers songs. Chill out and listen
Speaker 1: to sos or whatever it is.
Speaker 7: Was this like the seventh inning stretch? I think, I
Speaker 7: think probably stretch for this game last night? Did they
Speaker 7: get another stretch when you go eighteen innings, which is
Speaker 7: two regular sized baseball games.
Speaker 5: Calls for a second stretch.
Speaker 1: See fourteenth inning stretch and Peela, take me to the
Speaker 1: tell me out of the ball game. Take me out
Speaker 1: of the ball game.
Speaker 5: You're a diehard fan.
Speaker 4: You pregamed and you're gonna stay until the end of it.
Speaker 5: How hammered are you?
Speaker 1: TMZ Sport.
Speaker 7: TMZ Sports has like some story about how Jerry O'Connell
Speaker 7: was like tweeting and stuff from the stands and was
Speaker 7: like I'm not leaving, but he's but really had to poop,
Speaker 7: but he thought that if he went to the bathroom
Speaker 7: that's when somebody would score and he would miss the game.
Speaker 1: And then there's another tweet that just has like Jason,
Speaker 1: please tell me, Please tell me Jerry O'Connell crapped his
Speaker 1: pants at the game and make it back.
Speaker 7: There's there's one tweet that's funny because Jason Bateman, I guess,
Speaker 7: has like you know, he's got Jason Bateman seating. Of course, yeah,
Speaker 7: he's got them SmartLess mobile seats. And it's like, I
Speaker 7: think Jason has had enough of this game and it's just.
Speaker 1: His hats kind of pulled a little bit and just
Speaker 1: like slunk down in his seat in the eighteenth inning
Speaker 1: of the game a bit much. Well, this tweet was
Speaker 1: at two to eleven AM. So jeesus, man, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: Anybody who watched that let us know. Was it really
Speaker 1: a gripping, enthralling game? You tell us. Somebody says, I
Speaker 1: love the Jonahs Brothers. Their song bye Bye Bye is great. No,
Speaker 1: you guys are missing all of their songs. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no no. I mean, I will tell you. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna get stuck in a ballpark for eighteen innings,
Speaker 1: there's probably never been a better time for it. The
Speaker 1: stadiums are so much nicer now, the food is so
Speaker 1: much better than it used to be. It's just gonna
Speaker 1: cost you eight billion dollars on credit card.
Speaker 5: I'm sure the World Series ticket anyway.
Speaker 1: I don't know, though, like I don't.
Speaker 7: They might shut those outlets down because those people probably
Speaker 7: assuming by a certain inning that's time to cut off
Speaker 7: alcohol sales.
Speaker 1: They have time to it's time to stop serving food.
Speaker 1: You think the peanuts guy is just angering who've just
Speaker 1: tossed here?
Speaker 7: They might have dispatched out some extra beer tub dudes.
Speaker 7: But at some point, like during a normal game, you know,
Speaker 7: like if this is an NBA game, you're in the
Speaker 7: fourth quarter, there's so many minutes left, these restaurants are closing.
Speaker 1: Somebody says, is this true? Somebody says. Oh Tani's comment
Speaker 1: after the game was, I want to go home and
Speaker 1: go to sleep. If I sit the press or afterwards,
Speaker 1: I am totally done. I'm done for oh Man, you
Speaker 1: have to be a big baseball fan. You'd have to
Speaker 1: be a big bag, even bigger than Sea Liane pretends
Speaker 1: to be every once in a while with the Cubs.
Speaker 1: You'd have to never pretended that hard. That eighteen innings
Speaker 1: is a big that's a lot. Meanwhile, talking about these performers,
Speaker 1: the numbers are in and when we go back to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl plans and Bad Bunny, here's what the
Speaker 1: latest polling data says. It says nearly half of Americans
Speaker 1: forty eight percent approve of the NFL's decision to have
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny perform at the Super Bowl, twenty nine percent disapprove,
Speaker 1: and twenty four percent didn't offer an opinion. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you, the twenty four percent just doesn't want to
Speaker 1: be mean. They are siding with the disapproved people, and
Speaker 1: they're like, no.
Speaker 5: I not an opinion.
Speaker 1: I got a non opinion on that.
Speaker 5: I don't like to see what that bad bunny does.
Speaker 1: There are big gaps when considering political party, race and age.
Speaker 1: It says Democrats want to see bad Bunny seventy four
Speaker 1: to ten percent. It's so weird that this would be
Speaker 1: political at all, Like that makes zero sense.
Speaker 5: At all, and twenty five it absolutely does.
Speaker 1: The idea that it's like, we must support bad Bunny,
Speaker 1: everybody on the party, we must support bad Bunny's performance.
Speaker 1: Independents are fifty two to twenty two and Republicans are
Speaker 1: sixty three to sixteen percent against disapproving of the pick
Speaker 1: of bad Bunny. Of Black Americans, sixty one percent are approving.
Speaker 1: Hispanic Americans sixty five percent of approving, who are the
Speaker 1: twenty percent of Hispanic so like, I hate him, No, man, no,
Speaker 1: I don't like bad Bunny. And white people forty one
Speaker 1: percent approved to thirty four percent disapprove. So now we
Speaker 1: know the biggest gap is eighteen to thirty four year
Speaker 1: olds sixty four percent approval over there and people sixty
Speaker 1: five and over thirty six percent approval the old those
Speaker 1: aren't super happy about it, but we shall see. Sean says,
Speaker 1: I don't Oh my god, I don't care about Bad Bunny.
Speaker 1: I just won't watch. Well, that's that should be the move,
Speaker 1: you know. It's like, I would never say I disapprove
Speaker 1: of Bad Bunny or anybody else that I didn't want
Speaker 1: to see performing. I would just say, that's not for me.
Speaker 1: I don't really care to watch that. And if there's
Speaker 1: something else, if there's another option, I would rather watch
Speaker 1: that on account of, like, you know English, but and
Speaker 1: I just am not a Bad Bunny fan, on account
Speaker 1: of like I don't understand what's going into songs, going
Speaker 1: on to the songs, but I wouldn't be like I
Speaker 1: disapprove of it. I don't care enough on that level,
Speaker 1: I don't think. But let us know what you think.
Speaker 1: I would rather see the Jonas brothers. I would rather
Speaker 1: see their cancer tour continue. I used to teach Dylan
Speaker 1: how to play guitar play sos by the Jonas Brothers.
Speaker 1: That's how I remembered that one. So I was into
Speaker 1: them for five or six seconds. I shouldn't say it
Speaker 1: that way. I know a Joe bro or whatever. I'm
Speaker 1: not a Joe Bro. No, No, I can't total Joe
Speaker 1: bro tips of the news Junkie dot Com. Anonymous emails
Speaker 1: the show this is about the end of the show yesterday,
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Anonymous says, I grew up in New Hampshire
Speaker 1: and I graduated high school in nineteen seventy nine. My
Speaker 1: senior year, I played the donkey basketball game you talked
Speaker 1: about at my high school. The teams were made up
Speaker 1: of varsity girls and boys basketball player against the high
Speaker 1: school teachers. It was in the school gym and everybody
Speaker 1: was riding donkeys playing basketball. This type of game was
Speaker 1: very popular in the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 4: I'm in let's bring it back for the wh God,
Speaker 4: that sounds like a good time.
Speaker 1: Oh did they stop because it's mean to the donkeys
Speaker 1: or something can be putting on who's playing it. I
Speaker 1: don't want to whip the donkeys. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hurt the donkeys.
Speaker 4: If the donkeys do whatever they want, and that would
Speaker 4: be like even more challenging for the athletes.
Speaker 1: If we could put little like comfy shoes on them
Speaker 1: so like the court doesn't hurt them and they're good,
Speaker 1: that could be funny. I would be interested in it.
Speaker 1: I would be interested in to tryump. That's squeaky, you know,
Speaker 1: got the point across. But we'll take your email to

Speaker 1: Andrews says, Sean donkey basketball was very popular in the
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties when I was in high school. It was
Speaker 1: generally high school teachers versus middle school teachers, or occasionally
Speaker 1: teachers versus students. To protect the basketball court. There were
Speaker 1: sheets of plywood laid down on the court with lion's
Speaker 1: painted on the plywood. The donkeys rarely cooperated and the
Speaker 1: teachers would have to drag the donkeys up and down
Speaker 1: the court. The games were pure comedy. They ultimately stopped
Speaker 1: the games because of too many teachers getting injured, says Andrew,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Andrew. In Pennsylvania they find all these donkeys.
Speaker 1: I don't know they're a donkey guy? No, maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, does a mule count too? Or
Speaker 1: is that that's a different category. I guess right, that's
Speaker 1: half horse? Or is a honky you're a honky?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of those like hybrids and they
Speaker 1: should all be welcomed if they do want to play,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if they do. Mark says, damn, Sean,
Speaker 1: I'm offended for you. That Trump attack was totally uncalled for.
Speaker 1: I'm done, final straw, I'm leaving. I can't believe you
Speaker 1: would say this about you. Thank you, Mark, I appreciate
Speaker 1: you backing me up. Friend. And this person's a Hey
Speaker 1: Junkies professional pilot. Here. The reason why the eight hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety three mega what is it? Millibars? Millibar reading?
Speaker 1: And the reading, yeah, is important has to do with
Speaker 1: the winds. Winds come from differentials and pressure over a
Speaker 1: certain distance, kind of like a slide. This deeper the drop,
Speaker 1: the faster the slide. The same applies here. Standard pressure
Speaker 1: is one thy and thirteen millibars, so a differential of
Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety three over a few dozen miles
Speaker 1: is huge. I'll take your word for it. Eight hundreds,
Speaker 1: he says, are unheard of. Have a good day, Wiggles
Speaker 1: and Pops, so thank you for that. Keep yours coming in,
Speaker 1: join the show, tell us what you got on your
Speaker 1: mind or add to it just like that. Tips tips
Speaker 1: at Thenewsjunki dot Com. I have to unveil the spookiest
Speaker 1: thing about Halloween this year. It's going to get very
Speaker 1: spooky when we come back. That is coming up next
Speaker 1: on the news, Chunkie. We'll get to your feedback, dispatches, emails,
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. But I think one thing that's
Speaker 1: been lost in America besides shame, the shame factor, which
Speaker 1: really needs to be brought back in the United States
Speaker 1: of America. Shame in your culture, having like a healthy
Speaker 1: amount of shame for looking like a fool in public,
Speaker 1: or being wrong about something, or you know, you know,
Speaker 1: needing to engage in some sort of violence to make
Speaker 1: yourself feel like a fulfilled person with zero impulse control.
Speaker 1: All these things separate like better societies from worse societies.
Speaker 1: And I think at the end of the day, another
Speaker 1: thing that we're missing out on is we've forgot and
Speaker 1: when to shut up. Sometimes just shutting up is a
Speaker 1: good idea. All right, And I'll explain to you what's
Speaker 1: going on. Utilizing the situation in Jamaica where a historically
Speaker 1: powerful Category five storm. I believe that the expert we
Speaker 1: heard earlier, the meteorologists said there were gusts over two
Speaker 1: hundred miles per hour. Okay, in this Hurricane Melissa that
Speaker 1: is hitting Jamaica today. And when I say that there's
Speaker 1: times when you should shut your mouth, I'm referring specifically
Speaker 1: to some of the American tourists that are in Jamaica
Speaker 1: right now loudly complaining on social media that their vacations
Speaker 1: have been ruined. And I'm thinking you maybe maybe just
Speaker 1: find a safe spot and chill maybe just chill out,
Speaker 1: because could you imagine the inverse of that happening where
Speaker 1: a bunch of people who are like vacationing in let's
Speaker 1: say Florida or something, and a catastrophic storm comes in,
Speaker 1: Like we were trying to go to Disney World.
Speaker 5: And we're like, we waned it money back.
Speaker 1: Oh, We're trying to protect our homes and keep our
Speaker 1: family safe. And you know, we'll find find a different
Speaker 1: time to complain about that.
Speaker 4: I told you about that girl that popped up on
Speaker 4: my TikTok was like, there's no more commercial flights out,
Speaker 4: So is there anyone that can come pick us on?
Speaker 5: Please please common below?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Okay, what a normal ask? Yeah, it's very very normal.
Speaker 1: Ass You might want to if you're you're in somebody
Speaker 1: else's country and there's a catastrophic event taking place, just
Speaker 1: chill out, like take take a little bit of a backseat,
Speaker 1: not center yourself and be like, oh man, frownie face,
Speaker 1: Hurricane Melissa, I'm not able to go out and drink
Speaker 1: at the bars today. Well, this is why. This is
Speaker 1: some footage from moments ago. She's got trees down, big
Speaker 1: winds whipping up in Jamaica. And this is not even
Speaker 1: the worst. Yeah, it's for a little while ago. It's
Speaker 1: very very low visibility. I'll put this up on see
Speaker 1: it now here in just a moment. Oh boy.
Speaker 4: The experts said, like they're also at risk for like
Speaker 4: storm surge or it's just going to be wind and
Speaker 4: rain damage. I mean, with the amount of rain coming through,
Speaker 4: obviously there will be some flooding. But are we now
Speaker 4: going to see, you know, the ocean at your second
Speaker 4: story window like with other hurricanes.
Speaker 1: The only thing I would say about that because I'm
Speaker 1: just like, that's zero depth there. But I would say
Speaker 1: that from our experience going there, I do remember Jamaica
Speaker 1: having pretty decent elevation, right, Like I think in spots places, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it like has some pretty decent elevation, which
Speaker 1: may help them, I would guess when things get really.
Speaker 7: Really bad out there. But it's whipping up pretty bad.
Speaker 7: It does say catastrophic winds, rain, flooding, and storm surge.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's really Yeah, So this footage is up now,
Speaker 1: check it out on See It Now over on the
Speaker 1: news junkie dot com and the menu you'll see see
Speaker 1: it Now and you can see the visuals that we
Speaker 1: talk about on the show. There goes that pretty wild
Speaker 1: to see somebody's saying I miss hurricane days. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean not like this. Yeah, I want that. It's not
Speaker 1: a good time. And I know sometimes you guys are like, oh,
Speaker 1: you guys will do a hurricane broadcast. It's not that
Speaker 1: it's not fun or anything, but they're only fun when
Speaker 1: it's not really really doing some catastrophic damage. So that's
Speaker 1: why we're keeping an eye on this Hurricane Melissa today
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to do so. All right, let's see
Speaker 1: here there is a spooky revelation about Halloween this year.
Speaker 1: And this is on top of a couple of things
Speaker 1: I've seen out then. And one thing I've seen is
Speaker 1: there's a new batch of stories that have come out
Speaker 1: this year that are suggesting that Halloween can have like
Speaker 1: a negative mental impact on a bunch of people. I
Speaker 1: was like, who what it like? What did you see?
Speaker 5: Family was murdered on Halloween?
Speaker 1: All right, sixty I would get that. I would get that,
Speaker 1: But what is it the costumes or just the spooky holiday.
Speaker 1: The scariest thing for a lot of Americans is the
Speaker 1: increase in the price of candy. It's more expensive, they
Speaker 1: say than previously. Families will be spending three point nine
Speaker 1: billion dollars on Halloween candy in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5: That's so much money.
Speaker 1: Kind of astonishing. It's kind of astonishing. And I don't
Speaker 1: know what percentage of the overall candy companies like profits
Speaker 1: and revenue come in from Halloween, but I imagine it's
Speaker 1: a decent chunk. It's a huge thing for them. And
Speaker 1: that's why you have all these other companies, like even
Speaker 1: Mister Beasts and other competing companies trying to get their
Speaker 1: candy out there. I know Ryan Trehan, the YouTuber, he's
Speaker 1: got his like, uh sugar like sugar free candy or
Speaker 1: whatever it is that he has, like, uh these sour
Speaker 1: things and they're pushing really big to get those out
Speaker 1: there for Halloween. It's a lot of money, man, But
Speaker 1: with this story in mind, I can tell you that
Speaker 1: wasn't bad for us. What we got. They had these
Speaker 1: big bags of candy with like all the different mini bars,
Speaker 1: all the different mains like kit Kat, many, Snickers, many whatever.
Speaker 1: They had big bags of those for buy one, get one,
Speaker 1: And we just snagged a whole bunch of those. And
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty bucks or so, twenty sabby
Speaker 1: thirty bucks tops, I would guess thirty bucks tops to
Speaker 1: get enough candy for everybody that comes in the neighborhood. Now,
Speaker 1: we're fortunate enough that we don't get the absolute hailstorm
Speaker 1: of people that a lot of you do, where you're like, no,
Speaker 1: that would never make it.
Speaker 5: For that man, it's wild.
Speaker 4: And then this morning I had a neighbor ask if
Speaker 4: they could give me bags of candy so long as
Speaker 4: I tell the kids coming up that it's from the
Speaker 4: neighbors who are not going to be at.
Speaker 5: Their house, right yeah, yeah, So yeah, I said, yeah,
Speaker 5: of course, you did you already?
Speaker 1: Bud? Here was did you already? Did you already buy
Speaker 1: candy for Halloween?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 5: Not yet, No, not yet.
Speaker 4: We're gonna just yeah, last minute dollar store it. I'm
Speaker 4: going to see what I have in my like prize
Speaker 4: luggage that I usually bring with me for karaoke gigs.
Speaker 4: Oh well, boy full of peanuts and kids.
Speaker 1: If experience is to you might be getting well. Sunscreen
Speaker 1: used to be a big thing that we had in
Speaker 1: the promotion closet. I think that was what we have,
Speaker 1: Bottles of Sun's great, little kid, You're going to need
Speaker 1: it eventually, so just stack up on those Okay.
Speaker 5: Flat bracelets. We have those weird like gummy hands.
Speaker 1: She's big on the slap bracelets this year. The slap
Speaker 1: racelets are.
Speaker 5: Why am I big on it? Because I bought them
Speaker 5: in bulk.
Speaker 7: Real radio fidget spinners. What is flap bracelets?
Speaker 1: What? What is it?
Speaker 4: We've been hosting karaoke before sports started football style. That
Speaker 4: was like after you sang and go in the prize
Speaker 4: box and people loved the slap bracelets.
Speaker 1: How many slap racelets did you purchase?
Speaker 5: Oh it was. It came in a big kit I've
Speaker 5: probably gotten rid.
Speaker 1: Of at least I didn't say that. How many did
Speaker 1: you buy? How many did you purchase? Overall? One hundred,
Speaker 1: about a hundred, You about a hundred.
Speaker 5: A giant pack.
Speaker 1: Well, they often do. You bought a hundred slap bracelets.
Speaker 1: And now this is what kids in your neighborhood going
Speaker 1: to get for Halloween.
Speaker 4: They're also going to get some savvyes, little helper, ash
Speaker 4: trays and lighters that.
Speaker 10: I can't.
Speaker 1: You can't give them as.
Speaker 5: A little blame.
Speaker 1: There's no non bad use for it. Actual the kids
Speaker 1: can't have rolling papers.
Speaker 5: We'll give it to the adults.
Speaker 1: Then that is more from mommy and Daddy, more fine
Speaker 1: than the other option. Vanny emails the show tips at
Speaker 1: the newsjunkie dot com. He says, hello junkies, Sean, I
Speaker 1: agree with you. Oh what does he agree with me on?
Speaker 1: I used to be on the side of the Democrats
Speaker 1: keeping the government closed until they get funding for Obamacare.
Speaker 1: Once you said the Republicans won and we need to
Speaker 1: deal with it, the light bulb went on. Open the
Speaker 1: government and increase the insurance rates so Americans can see
Speaker 1: what they voted for. Maybe this will encourage people to
Speaker 1: vote in the midterms. Well maybe I see your sarcasm.
Speaker 1: Maybe it will. I mean, that's the truth of the matter.
Speaker 1: Is the American people will see somebody to blame, and
Speaker 1: whoever wins the blame game will probably have some minor advantage,
Speaker 1: even though it's a lot of time from now in
Speaker 1: the midterm elections. Everything else I said on this ice
Speaker 1: by one thousand percent, because it's just true. You know,
Speaker 1: you can't get more than one hundred percent of the
Speaker 1: Republicans to vote on extending the budget. They all have
Speaker 1: voted on it. You can't get any more than that.
Speaker 1: So if you want the Democrats to fight here, and
Speaker 1: you're okay with squeezing forty million Americans in the middle
Speaker 1: of that political fight, okay, because that's what you're doing.
Speaker 1: If you're okay with squeezing forty million Americans who will
Speaker 1: lose access to money to buy food for their kids,
Speaker 1: these are poor people. If doing a performative stunt in
Speaker 1: this moment is worth those people hurting, then do it.
Speaker 1: Do it, and then take it as far as you
Speaker 1: want to. That's the calculated move that you're going to
Speaker 1: have to make and is being made here. And we'll
Speaker 1: see in the long run if that pays off for you.
Speaker 1: But I want these folks because I don't happen to
Speaker 1: think even though I think forty million people is way
Speaker 1: too many to be on snap. We should make sure
Speaker 1: people are trying to get jobs and stuff. I think
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there that greatly
Speaker 1: benefit from this, and many of US Americans benefit from
Speaker 1: them getting some assistance too, right. They got to get
Speaker 1: it from from somewhere. It's just a fact of life.
Speaker 1: You need the safety net. I really believe in that, truly. Also,
Speaker 1: we've got more of these, Jesus. The amount of lightning
Speaker 1: coming out of Hurricane Melissa is pretty astonishing, and I
Speaker 1: don't know that I've ever seen so when I'm looking
Speaker 1: at something like a radar of a hurricane like this
Speaker 1: and they show me that wall, you know, the wall
Speaker 1: of the eye of the storm. Is this like when
Speaker 1: they show me photos of outer space and there's some
Speaker 1: sort of they're altering it in some way or is
Speaker 1: the Is the eye wall literally that perfect on this
Speaker 1: storm because it looks like.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you look at the the hurricane plane
Speaker 4: what's the name of it again, Hurricane hunter, Hurricane hunter plane,
Speaker 4: when they hit that, like I will, it looks like
Speaker 4: heaven sec Yeah, I completely and almost chillingly relaxed and beautiful.
Speaker 1: I just saw this. Is this it?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Here it does. This is crazy.
Speaker 5: I'll put this up on seatle it tell us a
Speaker 5: perfect circle, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It really is. I mean that's just an effect
Speaker 1: of the weather and the wind in that area. It
Speaker 1: literally looks like a perfect circle in the middle of
Speaker 1: Hurricane Melissa. And this is the hurricane Hunter cruising over.
Speaker 1: Jesus Man. That's so absolutely strange. We'll get this up
Speaker 1: on see It now as well, and I'll put that
Speaker 1: up during the break here. You can join us on
Speaker 1: the show with your dispatches. Let us know what you
Speaker 1: think about all of this. Fire off a comment to
Speaker 1: tips at the news junki dot com if you want
Speaker 1: to be anonymous. Put that up on top. When we
Speaker 1: come back at some point here, we'll get into the
Speaker 1: update because they cracked the case of these scary clowns
Speaker 1: at the people's front door that were threatening them. They
Speaker 1: cracked the case. I got the info and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that in just a little bit. More about influencers
Speaker 1: in Jamaica really making some dumb decisions, and a bunch
Speaker 1: more when we come back that we'll get to, including
Speaker 1: right off the jump, a massive house party that spiraled
Speaker 1: out of control. What happened? Wait till you hear this.
Speaker 1: It's coming up next. And then to use junk kie
Speaker 1: fun moment, I imagine. But if you imagine that you're
Speaker 1: having a bad day, I want you to picture this.
Speaker 1: There is a Delta flight attendant, Delta Airlines flight attendant
Speaker 1: that was at the Pittsburgh International Airport and was working
Speaker 1: on some things and accidentally hit a button and that
Speaker 1: button deployed the emergency slide at the airport, which was
Speaker 1: obviously they were not supposed to do that. And when
Speaker 1: you do that.
Speaker 4: Accidentally hit that, I imagine that the button says slide.
Speaker 1: There's there's like a there's an area that is close
Speaker 1: to the side of the plane where the door is,
Speaker 1: and I guess there's some sort of button there that
Speaker 1: they can accidentally hit. And in twenty six years of
Speaker 1: flying experience, this person had never done this, but he
Speaker 1: accidentally raised this handle up. When you raise the handle up,
Speaker 1: it deploys this emergency slide. And then not only are
Speaker 1: you in trouble from Delta your employer, but it costs
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars. They say, Tom, what, I think
Speaker 1: that sounds crazy too, But that's what it says. It
Speaker 1: says costing the airline two hundred thousand dollars. I think
Speaker 1: they might be including in what I'm looking at sea
Speaker 1: lane and like the cost to rebook passengers and stuff,
Speaker 1: so not just the slide or whatever, or but some
Speaker 1: things that are maybe associated with it.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this says the expensive error could cost the airline
Speaker 1: as much as two hundred thousand dollars for passengers, hotel, accommodations,
Speaker 1: and repacking the slide back into the airplane, which could
Speaker 1: cost twelve thousand dollars on its own. The other other
Speaker 1: industry sources put the cost to repack an emergency slide
Speaker 1: on an Airbus A two twenty model between fifty thousand
Speaker 1: and one hundred thousand dollars. How do we get in
Speaker 1: that business?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Also want to be in the slide repacking business.
Speaker 4: That employee gets fired or they're going to take it
Speaker 4: out of his paycheck for the next forty years.
Speaker 1: They got it just they're they're going to just make
Speaker 1: him bleed over a long period of time, I would guess,
Speaker 1: or they.
Speaker 7: Just they get to take all the bad shifts. Yeah,
Speaker 7: they get put on the flights that have the drunkest people.
Speaker 1: You're in. You're you're like the point person.
Speaker 7: Like just find all of the bachelorette party or bachelor
Speaker 7: party destinations and just make this person fly in and
Speaker 7: out of there all the time.
Speaker 1: Exactly. So, if you think you're having a bad day
Speaker 1: at work today, it could be worse. You could make
Speaker 1: a two hundred thousand dollars mistake. I would encourage you
Speaker 1: not to, but I'm just telling you that you you could,
Speaker 1: speaking of work, one thing going megaviral today on a
Speaker 1: social media's and being passed around here, there.
Speaker 8: And everywhere seventeen million views.
Speaker 1: I'll put this up on see it now. They debuted
Speaker 1: JP Morgan's new office and it looks like the most
Speaker 1: dystopian healthscape you have ever seen in your entire life.
Speaker 5: You have a pink pong table or a.
Speaker 1: Grad welcome to work, Take a seat, here you go.
Speaker 1: It's right here, and oh just real, this is real.
Speaker 1: This is inside their office of this new JP Morgan facility,
Speaker 1: and everybody is in this big ass row.
Speaker 5: It looks like a nightmare.
Speaker 1: It's like a stadium of like it's not cubicles, but
Speaker 1: it's just like workstation after workstation after work open.
Speaker 5: Space, but it seems like everyone's going to be sad.
Speaker 1: It's it's terrible. I would not want to work in
Speaker 1: the middle of this. But this is what it looks
Speaker 1: like at JP Morgan's HQ, which is part of a
Speaker 1: sixty story Skyscap scraper with desks for ten thousand employees.
Speaker 1: And I loved one of the comments I saw, which was, like,
Speaker 1: imagine ripping the email nothing new from my end from
Speaker 1: row six, seat twenty three in the middle of this
Speaker 1: JP Morgan people fat Do.
Speaker 5: They all stand up at the same time and go
Speaker 5: to lunch. I guess I go to sit down and
Speaker 5: just like robots.
Speaker 1: Like everybody has to have and I know Selim will
Speaker 1: like this. Actually everybody has to have four monitors. It's
Speaker 1: like a quad monitor thing. And I'm grabbing this right
Speaker 1: now as I'm talking, so you could see this money.
Speaker 7: If they're going to build an office that looks like that,
Speaker 7: why give them all four monitors? Why not just give
Speaker 7: them all one big monitor each?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, you could do that, right, I'm sure JP
Speaker 1: Morgan putting this up over on c It nowt new offices.
Speaker 1: It's incredibly dystopient. But maybe you this is a dream
Speaker 1: job for you, Like, Yes, that's what I want to be.
Speaker 1: I want to be Like what are the Bees and
Speaker 1: the b movie? That's what I want my job to be.
Speaker 1: Take a look at that. It's over on see it
Speaker 1: now right now at thenews junkie dot com. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into some of your dispatches. You can easily
Speaker 1: join us on the show. Record yours over on the
Speaker 1: website thenewsjunkie dot com and we'll pull some of those in.
Speaker 1: But I saw a story about a party gone wrong,
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure how people are still getting caught
Speaker 1: up in this. But if you're an airbnb host, I
Speaker 1: want to hear from you on this, because somebody rented
Speaker 1: in Airbnb, this time in DeLand, Florida, and they had
Speaker 1: a rager party, a rager party with well over one
Speaker 1: hundred people, alcohol everywhere, fights breaking out everywhere. It was
Speaker 1: probably with an Airbnb that they were using at the
Speaker 1: center of all of this.
Speaker 4: I could not find one Airbnb within many, many miles.
Speaker 5: That would allow parties, so I did this without permission.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that they're breaking the rules to do this.
Speaker 1: The people who threw this promised for Halloween. Of course,
Speaker 1: a killer party. Right, that's how they advertise it all
Speaker 1: over social media and stuff. It's a killer party, show
Speaker 1: up at this place. The two alleged promoters are facing
Speaker 1: twenty eight charges each after a fight broke out. The
Speaker 1: homeowner says the chaos has made him rethink ever renting
Speaker 1: out his property again because of what happened here. The
Speaker 1: bond said, on these folks at two thousand dollars. Two
Speaker 1: people organized and promoted the event, and this kind of
Speaker 1: stuff happens all over it, says murder house. This is
Speaker 1: the flyer. Let's have a killer party. Eighteen plus. According
Speaker 1: to the Sheriff's office, one hundred and eleven people were
Speaker 1: found inside the home.
Speaker 11: The rent a venue man, They well, you might, I
Speaker 11: don't know what would would You'd have to have like
Speaker 11: alcohol permits and stuff like you have to have license
Speaker 11: if you want to do that side of things.
Speaker 5: That but that kind of comes in the package of it.
Speaker 1: All this. In warehouses, they would just they would have
Speaker 1: like a.
Speaker 5: Warehouse airplane hangars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some big open space and they would slightly decorate
Speaker 1: it and you'd pay money to go in.
Speaker 4: Do they charge people, yes, Yeah, So they were charging
Speaker 4: that could have been avoided gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a two am and they got all
Speaker 1: sorts of calls about this and they received noise complaints
Speaker 1: like crazy, We've all kind of gone through something like this.
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember when I was younger. I don't
Speaker 1: know whose house it was, but there was a party.
Speaker 1: It was kind of It was one of the craziest
Speaker 1: parties I went to. They had every buddy park at
Speaker 1: the elementary school where I went to school. I went
Speaker 1: to HL Johnson Elementary School and roll Upon Beach, Florida,
Speaker 1: and they had us park in their parking lot. Then
Speaker 1: they had a shuttle bus that came over. We were
Speaker 1: all underage drinking. They had a shuttle bus that came
Speaker 1: over and picked us up from the parking lot.
Speaker 7: Who was operating the shuttle bus this eight year old,
Speaker 7: the young people, the twenty something people that were throwing
Speaker 7: this rager party, and the shuttle bus would quietly.
Speaker 1: They tell everybody on the bus to be quiet, to
Speaker 1: be quiet. They'd pull up to this house, they'd unload.
Speaker 1: You weren't allowed to say anything as you went in
Speaker 1: the line and you paid, and then they would let
Speaker 1: you into the house and the house was like completely
Speaker 1: sound proofd you went into the house and it sounded
Speaker 1: like there was a crazy ass rave going on outside
Speaker 1: of the house, almost nothing to be heard. Secretly this
Speaker 1: huge party going on, and there wasn't cars all over
Speaker 1: the place because there wasn't shuttle in. Crazy man, Actually
Speaker 1: a wild done.
Speaker 7: I threw a party where everybody had to park at
Speaker 7: the YMCA that was just a short walk from my apartment.
Speaker 5: I had day at the park of the church.
Speaker 1: Okay, look at.
Speaker 5: Using people that weren't invited to them.
Speaker 1: Now all you need is that Airbnb and it's somebody
Speaker 1: else's problem afterwards. So airbnb hosts, let us know it's
Speaker 1: true that could be done. I've seen it. If you've
Speaker 1: tried this out, or if you had this happen to you,
Speaker 1: let us know. Send us a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com. Let's see here a couple of emails coming in.
Speaker 1: This is a podcaster from fort Worth, Texas, Dina Deanna.
Speaker 1: I hope I didn't get your name wrong. Dnah. Hey guys,
Speaker 1: I'm a podcaster, so I'm a day or so behind. Normally.
Speaker 1: You talked about haunted car washes and we love going
Speaker 1: to ours, mainly because we have young kids. That are
Speaker 1: too young for real houses. And also I'm a big
Speaker 1: weenie for things that are scary. Ours is twenty dollars
Speaker 1: a car. We load up the suv with everybody. The
Speaker 1: line is always about twenty minutes or so to get in,
Speaker 1: and the kids love it because nobody puts their hands
Speaker 1: on them or anything. But there's mys and stuff at
Speaker 1: the car wash and they said they absolutely love it.
Speaker 1: Happy Halloween and keep up the good work, guys. We
Speaker 1: got a good work, not just a work from Deanna
Speaker 1: from Fort Worth, Texas. Thank you for the email.
Speaker 7: I think a haunted car washer is a fantastic idea,
Speaker 7: except that car washes generally aren't that huge.
Speaker 1: You're paying twenty bucks.
Speaker 7: To go very quick from one side of the car
Speaker 7: wash to the other side of the car wash.
Speaker 1: It's it smart money for them. Sure, everything about a
Speaker 1: car washer smart money. No, I've better or don't break it?
Speaker 1: Was breaking bad? Was breaking bad when he had that?
Speaker 1: Well one more for now, here's Steve who says, hey, Sean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he saw this story, but a
Speaker 1: guy grew a one thousand, nine hundred and twelve pound
Speaker 1: pumpkin and he smashed his car with it. Look this
Speaker 1: up ceiling to see if there's anything about this on
Speaker 1: nine and twelve pound pumpkin. He smashed his car with
Speaker 1: it because he said if he grew a pumpkin that
Speaker 1: weighed more than his car, he would smash the car
Speaker 1: with the pump Wow. Anyway, there's cool video of it
Speaker 1: out there. Sorry I don't have a link. Thanks a lot,
Speaker 1: Steve love the show, says Steve. Thank you. Steve appreciate
Speaker 1: the feedback.
Speaker 4: And the email has a whopping eight hundred and fifty views.
Speaker 5: That'll take care of a car and no time.
Speaker 1: Uh no, you found this this is or you didn't
Speaker 1: find it. I'm looking for it. Nineteen hundred and twelve
Speaker 1: pound pumpkin. Oh, see if I can find it. But
Speaker 1: that sounds like, I guess an interesting thing. Aurora firefighter.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the same person. We'll
Speaker 1: dig it up. We'll try to see if we can
Speaker 1: surface that and bring it forward for everybody. We're going
Speaker 1: to take quick break when we come back. We've got
Speaker 1: a crazy rescue caught on tape that we got to
Speaker 1: get to at some point in time. We have to
Speaker 1: talk about a shocking new piece of information from the
Speaker 1: world's top scientist, and we'll keep an eye on everything
Speaker 1: happening in Jamaica. It's a wild day there right now,
Speaker 1: two hundred mile per hour wind. Gus. We'll peek back in.
Speaker 1: That's coming up next on the news, Junke Keye. You
Speaker 1: can check that out the website that is, and every
Speaker 1: piece of information you might want to know about the
Speaker 1: show at thenewsjunkie dot com. People get mad at these stories.
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, I understand why they would
Speaker 1: get mad at these stories. But Kelsey Grammar, I guess
Speaker 1: just had his eighth kid at seventy years old. And well,
Speaker 1: I mean, is he still working like he was? I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's still in stuff. I think he is.
Speaker 1: I think he might still know. He did like some
Speaker 1: Marvel stuff, right, Yeah, and he they rebooted that show,
Speaker 1: didn't they reboot Frasier for a period of time or something.
Speaker 1: He was on a pod Meets World podcast and he said,
Speaker 1: that is why I just gave birth to his new son, Christopher.
Speaker 1: He's seventy years old. This is his eighth child, and
Speaker 1: he now has Faith who's twelve years old, Gabriel ten
Speaker 1: years old, James eight years old. He has the newborn
Speaker 1: then he has a forty one year old son, a
Speaker 1: thirty three year old, a twenty three year old, and
Speaker 1: a twenty year old in his whole family.
Speaker 4: He's got six upcoming listings, baby, a little bit more
Speaker 4: than that to pay for all those children.
Speaker 1: The thing is, you just at that age, you got
Speaker 1: to pay somebody to help you. Seventy years old running
Speaker 1: around after a kid, seventy two years old running around
Speaker 1: after a kid like Jackson's age, Sylano.
Speaker 5: How old is alix?
Speaker 4: Alec is sixty seven? And I've only seen I think
Speaker 4: it was like the first three episodes of the Baldwin's
Speaker 4: reality show. And with seven children, I mean not including
Speaker 4: is oldest who is an adult, it looks.
Speaker 5: Like a nightmare.
Speaker 4: And they had two people helping and said the place
Speaker 4: was just not be enough.
Speaker 1: Having kids is great and you can round out a
Speaker 1: family and really enjoy yourself and you know all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But seventy years old, whoa, that's only for the rich.
Speaker 1: That's only a move for the really rich folks. And
Speaker 1: it's just this weird thing that happens because of how
Speaker 1: humanity works, because of how sex works. Guys can be
Speaker 1: like a million years old and still have a child,
Speaker 1: and you know women obviously at seventy what's the oldest
Speaker 1: woman to ever give birth? Sea line, Let's see world
Speaker 1: search Machine ever if and I'll give you an update
Speaker 1: on some we were talking about moments ago on the show.
Speaker 7: Oldest woman to ever give birth is aramaty Manga Yama.
Speaker 7: I delivered twin girls via C section in India in
Speaker 7: twenty nineteen at the age of seventy four.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, i'd have to music's the vitro okay, all right,
Speaker 1: it would have to be a section. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: crazy man.
Speaker 5: That Jennifer was it.
Speaker 4: One of the actresses just had twins at like fifty
Speaker 4: yeah something. Danna Jackson hood baby at fifty something.
Speaker 1: Fifty is very different than seventy because, I pick, you're
Speaker 1: seventy and your kid is going to be toddling around
Speaker 1: for almost a decade, so you're going to be eighty
Speaker 1: with a little kid, and then now your kid is
Speaker 1: going to school and you're like, you look like the
Speaker 1: great great grandpa. That's the opposite of what I had
Speaker 1: when Dylan was born. I was eighteen when he was born,
Speaker 1: and when he was in elementary school and stuff. All
Speaker 1: the other parents thought I was his brother when I
Speaker 1: would be picking him up from school or dropping him
Speaker 1: off at school, because I was young at the time,
Speaker 1: very young. And this is the opposite end of that spectrum.
Speaker 1: You show up and you're like, I'm hand to pick
Speaker 1: up my and then oh, okay, jeez, well here's a
Speaker 1: great great Gret Gret Gret Greg Greg Greg Greg great grandson.
Speaker 1: He said, no, no, no, this is my kid. I
Speaker 1: had this kid Kelsey Grammer a dad for the eighth time.
Speaker 1: As long as he's got the resources, you know, I guess,
Speaker 1: do your thing. Let us know what you think. Send
Speaker 1: a dispatch at the news junkie dot com update on
Speaker 1: what we were discussing. Somebody vaguely emailed about this. His
Speaker 1: wife is forty six issue. God man, that's a big gap. Uh.
Speaker 1: This was the story somebody emailed about and Celane found
Speaker 1: some more details as a guy who grew a pumpkin.
Speaker 1: The pumpkin got so big that he made a bet,
Speaker 1: and the bet was that if the pumpkin weighs more
Speaker 1: than his car, he'll drop it on his car. And
Speaker 1: whoever said this was right, and the footage is kind
Speaker 1: of good. I put it up on see it now
Speaker 1: all right, I'll put it up on see now. But
Speaker 1: he put his car out there. I'm guessing this wasn't
Speaker 1: his daily driver on account of it's a geometrouh is
Speaker 1: a car he's had for like thirty five years. I
Speaker 1: read it.
Speaker 5: This was the send with the guitar, had for like
Speaker 5: twenty Yeah, it looks.
Speaker 1: A little junked and here you go, Andy, the pumpkins
Speaker 1: flattened the car. Folks, that's insane. That's a splat.
Speaker 5: I loved that.
Speaker 1: This is up I see it now. I've never seen
Speaker 1: that before.
Speaker 7: I wish there was another angle of this where you
Speaker 7: could see the pumpkin waiting to be dropped.
Speaker 5: Because it's just like, yeah, they didn't like set up.
Speaker 1: It's on a crane. The pumpkin's on a crane. It
Speaker 1: was over one thousand pounds the pumpkin was. They dropped
Speaker 1: the pumpkin from the crane on this guy's car because
Speaker 1: that was the bet that he did, and it absolutely
Speaker 1: pancacked this vehicle. That thing isn't Wow. Oh, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: It's up on see it now. Go take a look
Speaker 1: at the at the actual video of this on you
Speaker 1: see it now section of the Neewsjunkie dot com. That's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Can you imagine if that pumpkin went all
Speaker 1: bad inside and gross?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I mean, how many thousands of pounds?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 1: Two thousand?
Speaker 12: I think a nineteen something, nineteen twelve nineteen. It said
Speaker 12: that the guy was doing this for a while. It says,
Speaker 12: what do you do if you have an old, broken
Speaker 12: down car and a pumpkin that weighs more than it?
Speaker 1: You get a crane. You see what happened? One nine
Speaker 1: and seventeen pounds. Man, I want to do that. This
Speaker 1: is like a very particular world where these people grow
Speaker 1: these gigantic pumpkins.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it just completely smashed.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean you can't can you can't
Speaker 1: do anything else with one of those big pumpkins. You
Speaker 1: can't eat that. I wouldn't think.
Speaker 5: Maybe just can't make like a thousand pies.
Speaker 1: Out of that. I just this is probably wrong. So
Speaker 1: it couch this in every way possible. I'm not a
Speaker 1: food expert, but to me, it seems like when things
Speaker 1: get bigger, they don't usually get better food wise, right,
Speaker 1: So like if you have like a.
Speaker 7: Some of it is kind of like what it takes
Speaker 7: to cook it like something. They're like, there is a
Speaker 7: record size shrimp that we just found that weighs twelve
Speaker 7: pounds one shrimp. And you're like, yeah, but if you
Speaker 7: try to cook that, it's going to be very rubbery
Speaker 7: and gross. Yeah, less, maybe tell better. Let's maybe you
Speaker 7: sou eat it for a while, like for hours and hours.
Speaker 1: But I think I think there might be exceptions to
Speaker 1: my theory. But overall, I think like when things get
Speaker 1: too big, some taste is good.
Speaker 7: I have my theory in my head that I that
Speaker 7: I got a while ago was that there is a
Speaker 7: what you're saying, it was before your theory. I came
Speaker 7: up with this theory free theory. Don't don't be surprised
Speaker 7: if it sounds like the exact same theory. So, but
Speaker 7: but I came up with it before you.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 7: Theory in my head is that you have something like
Speaker 7: an avocado, and so there's only so much flavor dedicated
Speaker 7: to that one avocado, and the bigger it gets, the
Speaker 7: flavor just kind of spreads around. And then it's like,
Speaker 7: so like the haws avocados are nice and tiny, they
Speaker 7: are the most delicious ones.
Speaker 1: No, haas avocados are the good ones.
Speaker 5: Then I got four for you because I worda avocados
Speaker 5: not so much.
Speaker 7: They're not good, like they're like, oh, but it's the
Speaker 7: size of a football, and I'm like, and the whole
Speaker 7: thing taste gross, not great.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever ever told you about
Speaker 1: the second addendum to my food theory, which is that
Speaker 1: each food only has so much flavor for the size
Speaker 1: of the food, and if the food gets bigger, the
Speaker 1: flavor gets weaker. It's a new theory that's part of
Speaker 1: my theory.
Speaker 4: It's funny bringing that up because I had a food
Speaker 4: theory as well, and this is completely original, and I've
Speaker 4: been working on it for I think.
Speaker 5: Two and a half years. What we're talking about completely unrelated.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: But I've done the research and I put the money
Speaker 4: into it, and you get yourself anything like a pumpkin
Speaker 4: or an avocado, and the bigger that it gets, it's
Speaker 4: starting to lack enough flavor despite it looking just like
Speaker 4: the miniature version that's full of flames.
Speaker 1: Your problem is that you did any research that I
Speaker 1: didn't do any Like.
Speaker 5: My theory is just God gave it to you.
Speaker 1: Sound on its own. All the side things eating. We
Speaker 1: have a large audience right now. Is there anybody that
Speaker 1: can combat this theory? When food gets larger, it doesn't
Speaker 1: get better. Is there something that breaks this theory for us?
Speaker 4: You go, no, actually, Sewan, and if you make the
Speaker 4: world's biggest pizza, every slice is gonna taste like.
Speaker 5: Pizza, is it not?
Speaker 1: That's not the same thing.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: That was part of my study. So why don't you
Speaker 4: guys get some better food that one's bunk?
Speaker 1: Then in this in the theory that Sealan and I
Speaker 1: are coming up with here, and then I am definitely
Speaker 1: taking ownership of the like it's like a water melon
Speaker 1: or a potato, or even like a cow or you know,
Speaker 1: anything that's like an organic, alive thing. And if it
Speaker 1: gets bigger, I don't think it necessarily gets better. Like
Speaker 1: if you could eat a human and one was totally
Speaker 1: average sized human and one was astronomically big human.
Speaker 7: Well no, well I don't know, because you know, when
Speaker 7: you think of which one of us you'd like to eat, yeah,
Speaker 7: it's probably me.
Speaker 1: Uh that is flavor baby, Like, no, this is awkward
Speaker 1: for me. But I don't know if you would taste
Speaker 1: the best. I mean, I guess.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's only one way to find out nothing. No, no,
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead, where are you going with it?
Speaker 5: I would like put my theory to all right.
Speaker 1: Okay, if you could break the theory. Uh and they
Speaker 1: say doctor Watson's food there is yep, came up with
Speaker 1: it original. Anything that says it predates this neglect that
Speaker 1: just dismiss it, stiff arm it, including this potential sea
Speaker 1: land food theory. I think that this probably holds true.
Speaker 1: But we'll we'll have to have as.
Speaker 5: As a giant pumpkin we can have, right, I.
Speaker 1: Have somebody out there for sure. They make these things
Speaker 1: massive and not I mean, the two thousand pound one
Speaker 1: is just unbelievable. And I don't know is there some
Speaker 1: strategy to that? Like how do you make a pumpkin
Speaker 1: get two pounds?
Speaker 5: You just pump it up with steroids?
Speaker 1: Maybe? I know there's certain stuff you could do, like
Speaker 1: sometimes you can put if you put something in like
Speaker 1: a box, you can make it the shape of the
Speaker 1: you understand. It's talking about if you take a watermelon,
Speaker 1: you can make it a square, you know. Like, so
Speaker 1: some of those things happen, But how do you make
Speaker 1: a pumpkin two thousand pounds? That's the question.
Speaker 7: People grow giant pumpkins by starting with specialized seeds, giving
Speaker 7: the plant lots of space, which you were saying, like
Speaker 7: the box kind of thing, all right, and providing consistent
Speaker 7: water and a special fertilizer mix. This is starting to
Speaker 7: sound expensive. Oh they also it's it sounded to me
Speaker 7: like the opposite of bonds eye, you know. Okay, prune
Speaker 7: the vines to focus the plant's energy on a single pumpkin.
Speaker 7: So like I guess when you would normally grow pumpkins,
Speaker 7: there would be a bunch on.
Speaker 1: One vine, okay, and you just get warm.
Speaker 7: Just cut it off from doing that, so that all
Speaker 7: of the focus goes into the wood that make it
Speaker 7: a big, big pumpkin and protect it from pests and
Speaker 7: sun to allow it to reach its full size, sometimes
Speaker 7: gaining over thirty pounds a day.
Speaker 1: What the hell, that's insane. Thirty pounds a day is wild? Well,
Speaker 1: there you go. Take on our food theory. Prove us
Speaker 1: wrong here today, my food theory. This was a food
Speaker 1: theory that I've come up with on my own, and
Speaker 1: no outside influences have led me to these decisions. It
Speaker 1: doesn't have a name.
Speaker 5: Take to whose food theory do you go with, I'm
Speaker 5: out of the race. I just want to Gian pizza
Speaker 5: and that doesn't count.
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, that's not that's not exactly connected, because
Speaker 1: you're saying if you take cooked and prepared foods and
Speaker 1: make them larger, although I would also something less good,
Speaker 1: I would argue that that makes them less good too,
Speaker 1: like the world's largest burger is not going to be.
Speaker 5: Good, probably not even cooked all the way.
Speaker 1: Let's go honest, disgusting. It's anyhow, there's your theory poke
Speaker 1: holes in that. If you can look at us dispatch
Speaker 1: already theorybuster dispatches rolling in. People shut up incredibly eager
Speaker 1: to say what this is a problem right here? Let
Speaker 1: us know. Send your dispatch over to thenews junkie dot

Speaker 1: mom's name was Bonnie, they would.
Speaker 5: Pay as a song too.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's a good song.
Speaker 7: Run around, Sue. But it's about a whoror so my mom.
Speaker 7: They really loved that song very much.
Speaker 4: Well, I have so many inappropriate comments mother Lane shout
Speaker 4: out love your girl from It was an obscure group
Speaker 4: at the time called the let me try to read
Speaker 4: this write Beatles.
Speaker 1: The Beatles. I've heard of us, Oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he had not Brian Epstein never heard of
Speaker 4: them as a matter of fact, but he soon became
Speaker 4: they're what twelve points?
Speaker 5: That is correct?
Speaker 1: All right? Okay?
Speaker 5: What other options would there have been?
Speaker 1: I do not know, Rody Yeah, if all the all
Speaker 1: the spots in the band are filled, you know, rock
Speaker 1: and roll? Baby.
Speaker 4: Speaking of rock and roll, one of the bands that
Speaker 4: is considered one of the heavier legends of our generation,
Speaker 4: maybe even the generation behind us, is a band called
Speaker 4: Slippy Natty.
Speaker 1: I've heard of him, Yeah, I've heard of the slip knots.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and nothing is more metal than the Witney used.
Speaker 7: He used in challenge? Is what I think it is
Speaker 7: from some of the videos I've seen.
Speaker 1: I I really like it. It's a it's a lot
Speaker 1: of fun.
Speaker 5: I never heard this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sunny.
Speaker 4: The article the video should be there of Slipknot participating
Speaker 4: in the Whitney Houston challenge.
Speaker 1: Is this actual Slipnot or slip Knot tribute ban or
Speaker 1: which one is? It's actual slip It's real slip now. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, here they are. Do you know what the challenges?
Speaker 13: Pause?
Speaker 7: No, I don't know anything about it. Do you know
Speaker 7: this part of the song, it's the ah, I wish
Speaker 7: you love and then there's a big pause and you
Speaker 7: have to actually time of the drum.
Speaker 5: Yeah, now, Celia and I could do it because.
Speaker 1: We're I don't know, the counting is weird on it,
Speaker 1: but I don't take Sean.
Speaker 4: Could Sean is like a little bit more delayed, just
Speaker 4: a little bit listeners back down.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. I don't. I mean, I could
Speaker 1: count it out and then I would probably know you're
Speaker 1: talking about the technical delays, but.
Speaker 5: I mean ceiling. If you want to cue it.
Speaker 1: Up, well you don't even have to sing, you just
Speaker 1: have to hit the drums.
Speaker 4: To hit the drum because you don't have a drum,
Speaker 4: you have to say, but this is not being it
Speaker 4: and they nailed it.
Speaker 1: Let's see how well they're doing okay as getting ready?
Speaker 1: Oh oh, there's another part.
Speaker 5: I didn't realize. I want to people were in the band.
Speaker 1: You got it, buddy. They score them on how close
Speaker 1: they're getting.
Speaker 4: So maybe uh, one of these days I can try,
Speaker 4: because I do think Sean would.
Speaker 14: Be a good.
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you, I think that seems so
Speaker 1: much easier than doing what Whitney Houston does. After that part, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is hard to write there. You don't look like
Speaker 1: you're shivering.
Speaker 7: That's the thing I always noticed crack watching watching the
Speaker 7: music video for that, I was like, why is she shivering?
Speaker 1: Is she cold?
Speaker 4: Just like that guy is taking a small nap on
Speaker 4: the sidewalk by the seven eleven, he's tired. Congratulations to
Speaker 4: slip Knot, and congratulations to Janelle Monet, who has apparently
Speaker 4: gone back in time very god non chalantly. It was
Speaker 4: at this point I would have played the Back to
Speaker 4: the Future theme song, but unfortunately that did not pop
Speaker 4: up in time, so we're gonna have to sing it
Speaker 4: three to two one.
Speaker 5: Back into the future. You ome. Janelle Monee she cray
Speaker 5: or she legitimately a time traveler.
Speaker 4: She had discussed in an interview with singer Lucy Dakas
Speaker 4: Dakas Dakis for.
Speaker 5: The Rolling Stone. She revealed that she has the power
Speaker 5: of time travel.
Speaker 4: I don't believe her necessarily, but all right, I will
Speaker 4: believe this. She traveled back to the nineteen seventies and
Speaker 4: she saw, of.
Speaker 1: All people, this person, David Bowie.
Speaker 5: David Bowie is right, five more points on sea lanes.
Speaker 1: Bucket, bucket.
Speaker 5: It's a point bucket.
Speaker 1: Everybody keeps the point bucket show. What the hell I
Speaker 1: didn't know. I was just keeping them around. I didn't
Speaker 1: have any place to put them in.
Speaker 4: Said she saw David Bowie do the Rise in the
Speaker 4: Fall of Ziggy start Us and Uh the Spiders.
Speaker 5: From Mars and it was incredible. I was backstage.
Speaker 4: I was like, this is what I want to do,
Speaker 4: And so I jetted back to the two thousands and
Speaker 4: I was like, I can have the musical, make the music,
Speaker 4: create the lyrics, create the community around the transformation and
Speaker 4: being queer, and not even just in sexuality, but in
Speaker 4: how we see the world end quote.
Speaker 5: I would love to be a fly on the wall.
Speaker 4: With that interviewer, it was like, okay, so what do
Speaker 4: we have to look forward to in your upcoming tour.
Speaker 4: This was a video interview and you could see Lucy
Speaker 4: trying to decide how to handle it.
Speaker 5: But I guess you have to watch the rest of
Speaker 5: the video to see how she does. Or maybe Janew's
Speaker 5: back in time somewhere And.
Speaker 4: Speaking of Back to the Future, Gibson is celebrating the
Speaker 4: fortieth anniversary of Back to the Future with a pair
Speaker 4: of new Brace Yourselves, Get on the edge of your seat,

Speaker 1: Here's the thing, all right, more updates on the hurricane
Speaker 1: lashing Jamaica. Some pretty crazy updates coming in. And the
Speaker 1: case of those characters, those clowns, those freaky people that
Speaker 1: came up and made threats through a doorbell camp it
Speaker 1: has been cracked. They had a press conference. I've got that.
Speaker 1: The press conference. They've uncovered what was really going on here.
Speaker 1: So this happens from time to time on the show.
Speaker 1: But we'll know the entirety of this story. For those
Speaker 1: of you who missed this, I'll give you the recap
Speaker 1: before the press conference is coming up next on the
Speaker 1: news junk Kie. Let me bring it back. Here's the
Speaker 1: best way to do this. I'll bring up the original
Speaker 1: footage that started this because some of you don't remember
Speaker 1: this story. And there was a house where their door rang.
Speaker 1: They went to the doorbell and there were these incredibly spooky,
Speaker 1: creepy characters that showed up at the door. Here it
Speaker 1: is right here. They rang the doorbell and then they
Speaker 1: started with all sorts of threats from the front yard.
Speaker 1: And they're dressed up in these really really spooky costumes.
Speaker 1: The people at the house said, oh my god. And
Speaker 1: they called the police and talk to them or they're
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, yeah, they were threatening through the door.
Speaker 1: They were like, then here's one of the creepy costumes
Speaker 1: right here, very very weird clown costume. So they were
Speaker 1: saying we're gonna get you, We're gonna get you, stuff
Speaker 1: like this, and the cops started investigating because eventually they
Speaker 1: called the police. Then they got the footage on TMZ.
Speaker 1: Did they get paid for it, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: they got the footage on TMZ and the story was
Speaker 1: out there. We talked about it. We said, this is
Speaker 1: really weird. I think we made some mention on how
Speaker 1: something seemed off, something seemed a little strange. But let's
Speaker 1: go to the police investigation. After one hundred hours of
Speaker 1: police work they had to put into this case, they
Speaker 1: finally determined who these spooky scary clowns were that were
Speaker 1: threatening this family at their door. Let's listen in.
Speaker 2: This investigative scene was dedicated over one hundred hours.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, is that domination a little.
Speaker 1: Bit like them?
Speaker 2: I also want to clarify the timeline of notes.
Speaker 10: On October the fourteenth, we received a nine one one call,
Speaker 10: initially reported as a suspicious event. Later this was upgraded
Speaker 10: to a burglar in progress.
Speaker 1: All right, So it was a first The call came
Speaker 1: in first as a suspicious event. Then they said it
Speaker 1: was a burglary progress, and they thought this was a crime.
Speaker 1: They thought this was a legitimate crime, and they wanted
Speaker 1: to chase down the people who were in these costumes
Speaker 1: frightening this family that called nine one one.
Speaker 10: As arrived on scene within two minutes, so being dispatched.
Speaker 10: Through interviews with this family, investigators have learned the initial
Speaker 10: victim first contacted her brother instead of calling the police,
Speaker 10: and once we were called again, we immediately responded. A
Speaker 10: significant break came after our first press conference, all right.
Speaker 1: So they had a press conference and they talked about
Speaker 1: the basic details and they put the footage out there.
Speaker 1: That's how we had the footage initially, and that's what
Speaker 1: brings us to them now going we learned something. We
Speaker 1: got a bunch of tips after this press.
Speaker 10: Conference, we received multiple tips that created valuable leads. Following
Speaker 10: those leads, investigators discovered that the three mass individuals were
Speaker 10: related to the victim and adult female suspect later confessed
Speaker 10: that her and her two sons and her nephew early
Speaker 10: in their teens.
Speaker 2: Were responsible for approaching the home.
Speaker 10: In addition, there were two adults and a child in
Speaker 10: the Meedate area filming or standing by for the conclusion
Speaker 10: of this event, and total, there were three adults and
Speaker 10: four children involved. What we now know was a prank.
Speaker 8: Oh, the whole thing was a prankically, and that's fine
Speaker 8: until you call the police and pretend like a crime
Speaker 8: has happened to really start to ramp things up.
Speaker 7: Well, were that person really pretending they didn't know whether
Speaker 7: people were related to them?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, they knew, they knew the
Speaker 1: people at the house were in on it. They said
Speaker 1: there were relatives of those people. Because he said it
Speaker 1: was ad you call the cops. Hold on, let me
Speaker 1: let me go back to his last piece there, because
Speaker 1: I thought he was suggesting that the homeowners were involved
Speaker 1: in this. I think they just kind of wanted to
Speaker 1: go viral.
Speaker 10: And the Meedate area filming or standing by for the
Speaker 10: conclusion of this event, and total there were three adults
Speaker 10: and four children involved what we now know was a prank.
Speaker 2: Did the homeowner not to specify the victim had no knowledge?
Speaker 1: Oh, the victim didn't know. Okay.
Speaker 10: Because the family has chosen not to press charges, the
Speaker 10: suspects will not be publicly identified. While this incident may
Speaker 10: not result in a criminal prosecution, for me, my team,
Speaker 10: and for this community, it represents a moral failure, a
Speaker 10: moral failure where consequences could result in badly consequences. I
Speaker 10: want to specify this because we have saw this type
Speaker 10: behavior around the countrentt where people have done pranks.
Speaker 1: He's saying that this was a prank done by three
Speaker 1: kids that were family members of this person and two adults,
Speaker 1: I believe is what he said.
Speaker 5: And you do a prank, why would you involve the cops?
Speaker 5: You can still do the viral video.
Speaker 1: That's the part I missed there. The homeowner's Sealime is right.
Speaker 1: The homeowner did not know, That's what he said. The
Speaker 1: homeowner was not aware of this. And then when the
Speaker 1: homeowner first called her brother, the brother goes, you kidding me,
Speaker 1: that's freaky called the cops. They call the the cops,
Speaker 1: get out there, and then I think that the family
Speaker 1: members pranking her are like, oh no, we're in pretty
Speaker 1: deep right now.
Speaker 4: We'll let this be a lesson everybody. Make sure everyone involved.
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 5: The brother was like, no, it's a prank, don't call
Speaker 5: the cops.
Speaker 1: No, the brother was in on it. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know if the brother was on a mess maybe said
Speaker 1: something else here.
Speaker 10: Hangout, and they have resulted in people being seriously losing
Speaker 10: their lives. And as we approached this Halloween season, I
Speaker 10: want to ensure that everyone knows her within our community
Speaker 10: that we will be taking actions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not all be visible on the streets.
Speaker 10: Secret will be providing safety tips this week to ensure
Speaker 10: that everyone has a holiday experience that is going to
Speaker 10: be well and safe.
Speaker 1: No more of this nonsense, he says. He said, one
Speaker 1: hundred hours went into this. One hundred hours when into
Speaker 1: all of this, and then they found out it was
Speaker 1: a prank from the family members that got out of control.
Speaker 5: Do you consider that a good brank and away?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, in a way because it was effective, but away, yeah,
Speaker 1: it could cause you some problems. I would get it.
Speaker 1: The family's going to talk about this. The family will
Speaker 1: have a chat about this. Meanwhile, just coming in moments ago,
Speaker 1: Hurricane Melissa has officially made landfall in Jamaica. Wins at
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five miles per hour, which sane
Speaker 1: one of the strongest on record to make landfall in
Speaker 1: the Atlantic. That is from CNN. I believe it says
Speaker 1: a destructive storm now landing, and it's already a deadly
Speaker 1: storm too.
Speaker 5: To CNN snapchat maps, Uh huh.
Speaker 4: They still have the you know service out there, but
Speaker 4: typically when you look, you could see just the first
Speaker 4: things they'll post is their house underwater.
Speaker 5: Whatever's going down. I can already see it's going down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 5: Look trying to say something for the next break.
Speaker 1: This is somebody streaming. I don't know if they're gonna
Speaker 1: curse though. Yeah, I hang on, I'm gonna be meete this.
Speaker 1: This is a live stream here from a hurricane chaser
Speaker 1: or a storm chaser in Jamaica, I guess. And the
Speaker 1: flooding is already significant. It's there are some vehicles on
Speaker 1: the street where I'm looking, and these vehicles are almost
Speaker 1: completely underwater. It's up to the side view mirrors on
Speaker 1: the cars. The trees are really really bending in the
Speaker 1: wind because it's snailing this place. But the water is
Speaker 1: just in this one shot in particular, pretty bad. I
Speaker 1: can't see exactly where they are, but this is one
Speaker 1: of the live streams come out of the coming out
Speaker 1: of the area. This must be pretty close to the water,
Speaker 1: I would get. Yes, I'll have to see what else
Speaker 1: we can find out about this. I'll say this one guys. Sorry, apologies.
Speaker 1: What was I supposed to do? I was working out
Speaker 1: with Steads. I couldn't get rid of the button hold
Speaker 1: that I was trying. I was doing the best I
Speaker 1: could for I should never hold it.
Speaker 4: I've heard things that's probably non you, guys, But this
Speaker 4: one person at six forty five this morning, uh huh.
Speaker 4: And what I can only imagine being completely pummeled right
Speaker 4: now is holding a drink and a blunt a fantastic
Speaker 4: ready for this hurricane.
Speaker 1: Mam Jesus, where is this?
Speaker 13: This is a.
Speaker 1: The JPS office in Black River in Jamaica, and the
Speaker 1: roof completely ripped off of this wind still whipping through. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's really bad. JPS Black River office. What's a
Speaker 1: JPS office? JPS office pranks Jamaic. I'll just figure out
Speaker 1: what this is, and we know we we're talking about
Speaker 1: JPS Head Office, Jamaica Public Service, that's what it stands for. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is some some area in Jamaica where the roof
Speaker 1: was completely ripped off of this building. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of flooding and a lot of damage being done right now.
Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty miles per undred and eighty five
Speaker 1: miles per hour is no joke. It's a very significant storm.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna keep watching what's happening there in Jamaica.
Speaker 1: As the show rolls on, let's work in a couple
Speaker 1: of dispatches, somebody says they have a theory buster for
Speaker 1: our food theory. That almost time. We're up on a
Speaker 1: hard break there.
Speaker 5: The Sea line did get the copyright, nows. You could
Speaker 5: see his tiny screen.
Speaker 1: So I don't believe that the food theory copyright two
Speaker 1: thousand and three Sea, Liane, I, that doesn't look official.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 5: That's the sea with the circle around it.
Speaker 1: That's it does have that, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: I trust it just yet. Here's the land man with
Speaker 1: a theory buster.
Speaker 15: Hey, news junkies, Yeah, I think Sea Lane is onto something.
Speaker 15: I have one word for you, marbling. Marbling that is
Speaker 15: always going to make the taste better. Yes, do I
Speaker 15: think see Lane would taste better than Sean? Of course
Speaker 15: he would of cour me a break, It's not even close.
Speaker 15: There's a bitter aftertaste with Sean, which I think would turn.
Speaker 16: Off a lot of people. So that's you know, I'm
Speaker 16: not busting this. Probably I'm just agreeing with Celane. The
Speaker 16: aftertaste is much better. So yeah, that's it a good one.
Speaker 16: Thank you for the dispatch. I could, I could probably
Speaker 16: agree with that. I would think that maybe I have
Speaker 16: an aftertaste. I don't know why, but I'm alway evinced.
Speaker 16: Maybe I just know that it sounded like a good
Speaker 16: argument the land man, so thank you for it.
Speaker 1: Here is a somebody who says I was a lift
Speaker 1: driver for some of the people who were at that party.
Speaker 1: Let's listen in. Hello. Yeah, I was at the.
Speaker 17: Party that got busted at the Airbnb.
Speaker 1: I was a lyft driver that night, and apparently one
Speaker 1: of the kids from the.
Speaker 2: Party ordered a lift.
Speaker 17: As I pulled up, there was helicopters and about twenty
Speaker 17: cop cars around in the streets. The kid that ordered
Speaker 17: to lift, came to my car, jumped in the car
Speaker 17: with three other teenagers and told me to drive.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what the hell to do, but I
Speaker 1: took off anyway, and he gave me a good tip.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was definitely a rager. Seems like a
Speaker 1: congrats on the tip to dub life. Appreciate that. And
Speaker 1: let's see last one for now. Here's fits with the dispatch.
Speaker 18: I think it's pretty good compared to a twenty two
Speaker 18: million dollar mistake my husband's coworker made by drilling into
Speaker 18: a rotor for a turbine at a power plant.
Speaker 1: Oh god, how twenty two million dollar mistake? How does
Speaker 1: one not get fired for that? Geez?
Speaker 7: They care to delta flight attendant, they have to go
Speaker 7: back for retraining.
Speaker 1: Really this this was the person who accidentally pulled the
Speaker 1: handle and the slide came out on this delta flight.
Speaker 1: And they said it could cost with like hotel stays
Speaker 1: and rebooked flights and repacking the slide, as much as
Speaker 1: one hundred to two hundred thousand dollars, which is just crazy.
Speaker 1: It's it's a little bit.
Speaker 5: It's like a pod.
Speaker 4: They can just like a cartridge. Obviously, a giant one
Speaker 4: with the new slide they just placed in. Then you
Speaker 4: can repack them the last cartridge.
Speaker 1: Maybe you did this is better copyright copyright.
Speaker 5: See what the circle around the polease.
Speaker 1: He's only got one.
Speaker 7: It's only available around his Somebody did say that, like
Speaker 7: the door must not have been disarmed, flight of tenants
Speaker 7: or text in. But the door wasn't disarmed. It was
Speaker 7: the action of turning the doorknob on the airplane door
Speaker 7: that opened it. Imagine you did something spaced out because
Speaker 7: you're retired. I could see this totally happening by accident,
Speaker 7: even though they've done it twenty six years with no faults.
Speaker 7: I think there is a clipper. There's a disarming thing
Speaker 7: to do. But one of the articles said that it's
Speaker 7: actually like a feature of the slide, not not a
Speaker 7: bug or not like a like a like a like
Speaker 7: a fallback or set back of it. It's a feature
Speaker 7: of the slide to open so easily, because in the
Speaker 7: event of a real emergency, you wanted to open like door,
Speaker 7: open slide down immediately.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Really it is fault. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it would be like you don't want an air bag
Speaker 1: in your car that opens up slow. You want this
Speaker 1: thing to deploy incredibly fast, even if there is a
Speaker 1: mistake like that which doesn't obviously happen all that much.
Speaker 1: Join us with your comments, send your dispatches in over
Speaker 1: at the news Junkie dot com. We got more of
Speaker 1: these influencers in Jamaica. What's going on with them? Charlie
Speaker 1: Sheen is stealing my ideas. I can't believe it, but
Speaker 1: he's now up to stealing my idea. The first person
Speaker 1: to want to do crack. I am not the first
Speaker 1: person to want to do crack. That person was a
Speaker 1: genius though they were really onto something. In this case,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what he's been saying. As of late,
Speaker 1: we got a jury duty Chuck full of updates on
Speaker 1: some crazy stories, including that Turnpike semi truck crash that
Speaker 1: killed a couple of people that everybody's talking about, and
Speaker 1: a whole bunch more as we continue on and to
Speaker 1: share the show Tuesday that's coming up next on the
Speaker 1: News Chunky. We're gonna get to a couple of big
Speaker 1: updates here in just a moment. But Charlie Sheen is
Speaker 1: ripping me off. He is, He's been ripping me off
Speaker 1: I don't know how he knows this, but but he's
Speaker 1: right about this, and he's been going around and doing
Speaker 1: some interviews where people are liking his idea. But it's
Speaker 1: the same idea that I've said over and over and
Speaker 1: over on this show. I have said that in most
Speaker 1: major cities, it's a small amount of people, most of
Speaker 1: them like most prisoners, anti social people, people with antisocial
Speaker 1: personality disorder. It's a small amount of people who cause
Speaker 1: the vast majority of the crime, who cause the vast
Speaker 1: majority of the chaos, who negatively impact everybody else's peaceful,
Speaker 1: otherwise life. Right, it's a small amount of people in
Speaker 1: most major cities that cause all of this trouble and annoyance.
Speaker 1: And then there's some people who want to ignore that
Speaker 1: for some reason, some people who want to completely upend
Speaker 1: the justice system and just like embrace crime or whatever.
Speaker 1: These are all stupid ideas, it goes without saying, or should.
Speaker 1: But in the case of Charlie Sheen, he's now going around.
Speaker 1: He did an interview with Bill Maher and he said
Speaker 1: exactly what I've been saying here. He goes, it looks
Speaker 1: like there's a small amount of people who commit most
Speaker 1: offenses in major cities in the countries and in the country,
Speaker 1: And he said, why can't we take these six hundred
Speaker 1: people and build a special place for them. Let's call
Speaker 1: it the six hundred video. I'm sorry, the six hundred
Speaker 1: up building, he said, in this video. That's good. That's good,
Speaker 1: the six hundred building, said Bill Maher. And they were
Speaker 1: talking back and forth about why crime is out of
Speaker 1: control in certain cities or just seemingly making life worse
Speaker 1: than it could be. Charlie Sheen, I don't know if
Speaker 1: is he sober nowadays?
Speaker 4: Has he sober according to the new documentary, is he's
Speaker 4: a sober.
Speaker 1: Guy, not doing any of the drugs anymore, not doing
Speaker 1: the drinking and whatnot, and his brain seems to be functioning.
Speaker 1: I'm on the same wave link, Charlie Sheen. I'm on
Speaker 1: the same wavelength as you. I think that's absolutely right.
Speaker 1: I think we let people ruin our towns and our
Speaker 1: cities because for like a bunch of stupid reasons, but
Speaker 1: one of the main ones is like we don't say, hey,
Speaker 1: repeat offenders are causing so many of these problems. These
Speaker 1: people don't look at the world like you or I do.
Speaker 1: They don't care about punishments. Really, they don't care about anything.
Speaker 1: They're gonna end up in prison eventually, and we just
Speaker 1: let them do this stuff over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: Charlie James right, he's right. I didn't think i'd be
Speaker 1: saying that, but he is right about that. We're right
Speaker 1: about this book. The storm that is hitting Jamaica, Hurricane Melissa,
Speaker 1: one hundred eighty five mile per hour winds, it is
Speaker 1: really strong and some of the footage that's coming in
Speaker 1: is mind blowing, to be honest with you, like the
Speaker 1: damage that we see after this storm leaves Jamaica, and
Speaker 1: it's going so slow. It's so slow. The damage that
Speaker 1: we see when this storm ends up leaving Jamaica is
Speaker 1: going to be catastrophic. I'll give you some examples. If
Speaker 1: you're hanging out with us, you can always watch the
Speaker 1: show on YouTube dot com. Slash the news Junkie here
Speaker 1: is listen to the sounds of one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: five mile per hour winds ripping through Treasure Beach, Jamaica.
Speaker 1: Right now. That is just the sound of the winds
Speaker 1: whipping by this camera on Treasure Beach, Jamaica, just unrelenting
Speaker 1: and because the storm is going so slow, it's not
Speaker 1: going to stop anytime soon. It's going to continue to
Speaker 1: wreak havoc on this area as a category five should
Speaker 1: weird question? I don't know. You're going to test out
Speaker 1: another theory here today. It's not a theory. I have
Speaker 1: a question.
Speaker 7: What's the question the one I asked you during the
Speaker 7: break about Jamaica. It's kind of a yeah, it's kind
Speaker 7: of a morbid question.
Speaker 5: But well, you've warned.
Speaker 7: If there was a storm that absolutely wiped out Jamaica, Okay,
Speaker 7: everybody's gone.
Speaker 1: Who gets the land? I don't know if that's ever happened.
Speaker 1: Has it ever happened that like a whole country? Everybody's
Speaker 1: the city? Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 5: Who's there for recovery because it is going to be
Speaker 5: severely damaged?
Speaker 1: Like, well, what about right now? Is Jamaica technically or
Speaker 1: they were a British territory?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Jamaica is are the independent? Now hang on, let me
Speaker 1: let me see we'll get to the bottom of this ceiling. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll solve this issue for you. Jamaica is a country
Speaker 1: in the Caribbean. We know that, of course, dependent nation.
Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty two, oh Wow, So they've been independent
Speaker 1: for a long time.
Speaker 4: Own government remains a member of the comonwell for obtains
Speaker 4: the British monarch as its head of state.
Speaker 1: Yeah, technically the king is in charge of Jamaica, which
Speaker 1: is like Canada or something.
Speaker 5: Sense relief, everybody saved up.
Speaker 1: Well, the Red Cross is already there. The Red Cross
Speaker 1: is on site because of just how bad this is
Speaker 1: going to get. And they've got a million people plus
Speaker 1: in the mix here. You ever heard their anthem Jamaica
Speaker 1: their nationally Isn't that a thirds? It's not Bob Marley.
Speaker 1: They all kind of sound the same. Jamaica land. We love,
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. Unfortunately, things are looking rough over there. Here's
Speaker 1: another video coming out of Jamaica. Houses just completely flooded.
Speaker 1: It's like they're in the middle of the ocean. I
Speaker 1: mean they're close to it, but the weather in the
Speaker 1: you know, the actual winds just taking over here as
Speaker 1: this category five storm rips these places apart. Still there,
Speaker 1: I don't know they're there. Yeah, they're walking around this area,
Speaker 1: but it's pretty well destroyed and a lot of these
Speaker 1: houses are pretty rough off. They are very close to
Speaker 1: the beach there. Let me see can I get to
Speaker 1: I had one more that I wanted to work in.
Speaker 1: This is it, I believe Let me No, that's not it.
Speaker 1: There was another person who was a storm chaser out
Speaker 1: there that was saying that things were definitely getting worse
Speaker 1: as the storm was approaching landfall. I'll dig up some
Speaker 1: more clips here as the day goes on, and the
Speaker 1: ones that are worthwhile i'll pop up on see it now.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that one was pretty bad. This is inside
Speaker 1: somebody's house. I'm gonna mute it just in case they
Speaker 1: have to be cursing. I wouldn't blame them, considering the circumstances.
Speaker 1: This must have been before sunrise here in this place.
Speaker 1: It wasn't too bad at this moment here, certainly not
Speaker 1: like what we saw. But the oh, that's crazy. The
Speaker 1: hurricane chaser's over the top of the storm just like
Speaker 1: completely looks like AI. It looks like a fake, fake storm.
Speaker 1: But it's a very very strong storm that's hitting Jamaica
Speaker 1: right now. I'll keep my eyes out for more of
Speaker 1: these updates and give them to you also saw this.
Speaker 1: The government shutdown is twenty eight days on right now,
Speaker 1: still going on. No end in site now, no end
Speaker 1: in sight. Now, I haven't seen any willingness for these
Speaker 1: folks to come together and fund the government and pass
Speaker 1: these bills that would stop the shutdown. But it says
Speaker 1: while the Trump administration previously moved money around to fund
Speaker 1: some federal programs until the end of the month, it
Speaker 1: recently said the snap food assistance right on by over
Speaker 1: forty million people won't be funded starting November first. Some
Speaker 1: states are planning to fill that gap with their own coffers,
Speaker 1: so this will be a state by state thing. Also,
Speaker 1: I didn't know they did this. But something else that
Speaker 1: will stop is commercial flights to rural areas. If you
Speaker 1: take a commercial flight in the United States to a
Speaker 1: rural area, a lot of those flights are subsidized. Now
Speaker 1: I did not know that was a thing, but a
Speaker 1: lot of these flights, if you go to like a
Speaker 1: small city, there's a subsidy on this flight that is
Speaker 1: going to be cut off. So airlines will have an
Speaker 1: increase in ticket prices to smaller towns that you might see,
Speaker 1: and many Americans will face some higher health insurance premiums
Speaker 1: due to the lapse of these healthcare subsidies that were
Speaker 1: acted earlier this year in the Republican budget and Democrats
Speaker 1: are refusing to pass any of the government funding without
Speaker 1: extending them, so they're areads stopped.
Speaker 7: So the Essential Air Service Program or EAS, which is
Speaker 7: a little different from the one we're used to. Yeah,
Speaker 7: the one we're used to is an important one.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is too.
Speaker 7: It's a government program designed to ensure small communities have
Speaker 7: access to the national air transportation system. So the federal
Speaker 7: subsidies they go to the airlines that operate out of
Speaker 7: these tiny airports, which would otherwise be unprofitable for them.
Speaker 7: So like, yeah, you have like a small regional airport
Speaker 7: and that's like all your area has. Delta doesn't want
Speaker 7: to be there, but they will go there because the
Speaker 7: government kind of, you know, kicks them a portion of
Speaker 7: that run.
Speaker 1: Now does it say how much that is? Like how
Speaker 1: much is the government putting forward? And let me see,
Speaker 1: it has to be a lot. I didn't even know
Speaker 1: that we're doing that. But that's one of the pieces
Speaker 1: of funding that is going to be drying up as
Speaker 1: a result of this. Some more clips real quick from Jamaica. Jesus,
Speaker 1: this is a neighborhood that's getting smashed pretty good. These
Speaker 1: houses are not that well built, and they're facing one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five mile per hour winds as Melissa
Speaker 1: makes landfall. Quite a few clips like that eeking through.
Speaker 1: So what we're gonna have to do is see what
Speaker 1: happens after this and see just how much damage is done.
Speaker 1: But these folks in Jamaica are definitely going to need
Speaker 1: some help.
Speaker 7: The ES Central Air Service Program provides nearly six hundred
Speaker 7: million per year in subsidies to airlines to ensure air
Speaker 7: service to small communities across the United States, supporting.
Speaker 1: Its one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 7: Over one hundred and seventy small airports, wow are subsidized
Speaker 7: or the airlines that operate there are subsidized by the EAS.
Speaker 1: That's pretty crazy. I wasn't even aware that was part
Speaker 1: of this, but that's part of the government shutdown as well.
Speaker 1: All right, join us with your thoughts when we come back, though.
Speaker 1: Here's what we're doing. Jury duty, A loaded up jury
Speaker 1: duty with a modern day Bonnie and Clyde doing the unthinkable.
Speaker 1: Wait till you hear what happened in this case. An
Speaker 1: update on that semi crash on the turnpike where the
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant who was driving ended up crashing and killing

Speaker 1: The News Junkie tips at the Newsjunkie dot com and
Speaker 1: Sean emails the show. He says, going back to your
Speaker 1: question about Halloween candy, there was a story about how
Speaker 1: it's supposedly more expensive, and I said, we got some
Speaker 1: great deals actually this time around. But says, going to
Speaker 1: your question about Halloween candy and the volume share that
Speaker 1: it represents for manufacturers. The company that I work for
Speaker 1: reps the biggest candy manufacturer in the country, and Halloween
Speaker 1: alone represents twenty two percent of their business. Easter is
Speaker 1: a closed second at eighteen percent, and that is forty
Speaker 1: percent of the total money revenue that's brought in from
Speaker 1: this biggest candy manufacturer through just Halloween and Easter, which
Speaker 1: is kind of wild to think about. But thank you
Speaker 1: for the email. Appreciate that It's time for it, friends,
Speaker 1: So let's do this together. It's time for jury duty.

Speaker 1: gonna be a blast, the most exclusive event we've ever done.
Speaker 1: This is a fancy one and we look forward to
Speaker 1: hanging out with you and having some big laughs on
Speaker 1: Thursday at Judson's Live. Now, let's get into it, because
Speaker 1: they say that modern day Bonnie and Clyde. And for
Speaker 1: those of you who are a little bit younger and
Speaker 1: don't know what Bonnie and Clyde are, Bonnie was a
Speaker 1: woman who was with a guy named Clyde Barrow. Nobody
Speaker 1: really knew them, and nobody really knew them as Bonnie
Speaker 1: and Clyde at the time. It wasn't something that people
Speaker 1: were really aware of, but it was a Clyde Barrow
Speaker 1: and girl where most of the headlines I owned, some
Speaker 1: of the newspapers that didn't like chronicle them, didn't music
Speaker 1: kind of title them Bonnie and Clyde. What do you mean,
Speaker 1: like songs and stuff? Afterwards? It probably it was popular
Speaker 1: culture for sure. Yeah, so it's like they just at
Speaker 1: the time they weren't known as body and Clyde. It
Speaker 1: was like Clyde Barrow, who was this bad dude on
Speaker 1: the run from the law. And then by that was
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. So I think there might have
Speaker 1: been some murders eventually. I don't even have to look
Speaker 1: that on robbery and murder. Yeah, and added in a
Speaker 1: famed shootout. There's even in I've seen in a museum
Speaker 1: of Clyde Barrow's car that they ended up dying in
Speaker 1: and there was a while that they were selling it
Speaker 1: seems like maybe you can check this out, because I
Speaker 1: don't want to just put fit news out there, but
Speaker 1: I believe for a while they were selling collectibles that
Speaker 1: were like the coat that Barrow was wearing, or Clyde
Speaker 1: Barrow from Bonnie and Clyde when he was killed. But
Speaker 1: they cut his clothes off of him, cut him up
Speaker 1: into little squares, and then sold them. I believe at
Speaker 1: some point in time, unless I complained, un totally made
Speaker 1: that up. A lot of it they put away in
Speaker 1: a museum, but I think they just sold this one
Speaker 1: portion of it to this couple though that is based
Speaker 1: off of Bonnie and Clyde. They did the unthinkable. These
Speaker 1: folks were about to rob a place, this popular Arizona restaurant,
Speaker 1: when something else kind of surprising happened. What went down, Well,
Speaker 1: let's tune in. Here we go, let's see what they did.
Speaker 5: I had a little romantic time together. Okay, I guess
Speaker 5: as they're allegedly breaking the law.
Speaker 20: Taylor Works joins us Live after talking with the owner
Speaker 20: Taylor What.
Speaker 21: Went down here?
Speaker 20: Security footage Ashley and Brian Monturie is one of the
Speaker 20: most beautiful restaurants in Scottsdale with instagram worthy moments like
Speaker 20: this around every corner. But unfortunately, it seems like this
Speaker 20: particular couple was just overwhelmed by how beautiful these red
Speaker 20: roses are as. The owner says, they broke into this
Speaker 20: restaurant early this morning. They started by wearing masks, but
Speaker 20: eventually took them off.
Speaker 4: Why they were wearing masks, that's what are you talking about.
Speaker 1: Come on, They're like on security camera everywhere, and in
Speaker 1: the middle of it, they start having sex. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: at this restaurant that they're robbing. In the middle of it,
Speaker 1: they're like, this place is beautiful, let's get into it.
Speaker 20: You can see them in this security camera video. Staff
Speaker 20: say they took about four hundred and fifty dollars in cash,
Speaker 20: the restaurant, iPhone, and the bottle upper CARDI.
Speaker 15: The owner says.
Speaker 20: The most disturbing part though, was not what they took,
Speaker 20: but what they did in the restaurant's photogenic rose display.
Speaker 1: Call it a modern day Bonnie.
Speaker 20: And Clyde, as the cameras captured them having sex in
Speaker 20: the middle of their crime spree.
Speaker 14: I think it's they definitely had some romantic time upfront
Speaker 14: on the property and.
Speaker 1: Actually right before there's like a huge heart that's made
Speaker 1: out of roses, and you can go in the middle
Speaker 1: of the heart with all the roses around you and
Speaker 1: take a picture. And they went into the middle of
Speaker 1: the heart, and instead she hit the floor and they
Speaker 1: started to have sex in the middle of this robbery
Speaker 1: that they were all participating even on YouTube. Says kind
Speaker 1: of freaking hot. Uh, he's got a particular fetish, like
Speaker 1: the mid robbery sex is I guess.
Speaker 5: Robbers you're supposed to be like in and out. That
Speaker 5: was a particular Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean the other thing is if they would
Speaker 1: have just kept their masks on and then grabbed the
Speaker 1: stuff and went, it probably would have not been caught.
Speaker 1: But now they're having sex on camera, for God's sake,
Speaker 1: Kevin says, show the full video, Come on, Kevin, Yeah,
Speaker 1: here you go. I doubt it did that long. My
Speaker 1: guess maybe they mentioned.
Speaker 14: That in Montree is my dear in French, which is
Speaker 14: a really endearing term, So you never know.
Speaker 5: Let's beautiful, stay out.
Speaker 1: We don't want you to leave back and oh wow,
Speaker 1: And as.
Speaker 20: You can see, luckily everyone here has a great She's
Speaker 20: right there at the scene of the crime.
Speaker 1: If she really was a great reporter, just hit the
Speaker 1: black light and go oh, we have some evidence here
Speaker 1: left at the scene.
Speaker 4: Question, but can you request that police file because it
Speaker 4: has the full Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 7: It's not a footage that originated from a police department source.
Speaker 1: It would be a little hard. Wait. Wait, if there
Speaker 1: was a court case, that would probably be evidence and
Speaker 1: the kid, Yeah, they might come out at some point
Speaker 1: in time eventually. Here but the Bonnie and Clyde couple
Speaker 1: having sex in the middle of the robbery, and that
Speaker 1: is all of us Gottsdale, Arizona today. Congrats to Monshoey Restaurant.
Speaker 1: Sorry about the cleanup, but good news on the level
Speaker 1: of Hey a lot of free press, so real quick
Speaker 1: on the on the original Bonnie and Clyde thing. Were
Speaker 1: they known for making love at not that I'm aware of.
Speaker 5: Just how they attached Bonnie and Clyde to couples that rop.
Speaker 7: Gotch Yes, yeah, the year to clarify it says somebody
Speaker 7: claimed Clyde Barrow's saxophone from the car, the death car,
Speaker 7: which is on display at the museum. Uh huh, but
Speaker 7: he later returned it to the Barrow family. Posse members
Speaker 7: took other personal items, such as Parker's clothing.
Speaker 1: That's Bonnie Parker.
Speaker 7: The Parker family asked for them back, but were refused,
Speaker 7: and the items were later sold as souvenirs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I saw, Like they were little. Have
Speaker 1: you ever seen where they have baseball cards and sometimes
Speaker 1: has a like a little piece of clipping of a
Speaker 1: player's uniform in them. They did that. Didn't they do
Speaker 1: that to one of Donald Trump's suits?
Speaker 5: I think they did the city was in when he
Speaker 5: got shot in the year Lobe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's all kind of like, this is a weird
Speaker 1: world of merch, but that's what they do from time
Speaker 1: to time.
Speaker 4: Was Bunning Clyde memorabilia watching a shotgun that fetched more
Speaker 4: than one hundred and eighty thousand dollars at auction a
Speaker 4: couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Those are good. I don't think the little clippings of
Speaker 1: the clothing are actually worth that much money. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like when my dad was My dad was so
Speaker 1: proud back in the day. I told this story a long, long, long,
Speaker 1: long time ago, but my dad was so proud back
Speaker 1: in the day because he had bought a piece of
Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall. Kids, you know, there used to be
Speaker 1: East Germany and West Germany, and Germany was a divided country,
Speaker 1: a divided nation with a Berlin Wall right down the middle,
Speaker 1: and this was a big point of contention, and obviously
Speaker 1: Germany won reunification and now it's just Germany. The Berlin
Speaker 1: Wall was knocked down by people on day and then
Speaker 1: they took big chunks of it. There's one at Universal
Speaker 1: Studios as best I recall out behind the hard rock.
Speaker 1: And then they sold a lot of them. They would
Speaker 1: have like infomercials and they own your own piece of
Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall, a piece of history in your very
Speaker 1: own home. And my dad called and got it, probably
Speaker 1: worth ten bucks today. It's just that didn't really turn
Speaker 1: out to be the winner. I have no idea. No,
Speaker 1: I have a couple of boxes where the stuff, a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff from them got stolen. That was a
Speaker 1: real bummer. That was a bummer, but just part of life,
Speaker 1: I guess. The last thing is this semi truck driver
Speaker 1: who was accused of making illegal U turns or one
Speaker 1: in particular on the Florida Turnpike and a crash that
Speaker 1: killed three people. This guy, Harginger Singh, who is being
Speaker 1: held without bond in the Saint Lucient County jail. This
Speaker 1: is the guy who illegally went into this country, across
Speaker 1: the border with Mexico, illegally came into this country. And
Speaker 1: in California you can get a cd and Washington you
Speaker 1: can get a CDL. He got commercial driver's licenses in
Speaker 1: both of those states. So did the guy who was
Speaker 1: in another fatal accident that we just reported on not
Speaker 1: too long ago, another Indian who was in the country
Speaker 1: illegally and got the licenses from these states to be
Speaker 1: driving commercial vehicles on our roads. They don't understand the language,
Speaker 1: they can't read the signs, and they're out there driving
Speaker 1: on these roads. This is a bad thing. And now
Speaker 1: the news coming out from Click Orlando, it says that
Speaker 1: semi truck driver accused of making an illegal U turn
Speaker 1: on the Florida Turnpike causing a crash that killed three people,
Speaker 1: failed his commercials Driver's test a commercial driver test, ten
Speaker 1: times in the span of two months. Okay, according to
Speaker 1: a senior official in the Florida Attorney General's office, this
Speaker 1: guy failed ten times in two months, and they said
Speaker 1: this was in Washington State before he was ultimately issued
Speaker 1: a license. The official was not authorized in common public tests.
Speaker 5: Have you failed ten times?
Speaker 1: I guess you're allowed to. I guess there's no limit
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 5: Let's revisit that, huh, and he ended up in this crash.
Speaker 1: The weird thing there is you just have like states
Speaker 1: issuing commercial driver's licenses, putting other states at risk. If
Speaker 1: there's probably there's gotta be lawsuits on that front. I'm
Speaker 1: sure out there already. Okay, we're gonna take quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll give you updates on Hurricane Melissa.
Speaker 1: The latest is happening, plus what happens next? Where is
Speaker 1: this storm going to go? Is it going to impact
Speaker 1: you this weekend? Details coming up next. I'm going to
Speaker 1: use chunk key. This has potential, I think, to be
Speaker 1: one of the more controversial topics of the day because
Speaker 1: this is a Halloween related thing, and it's something that's
Speaker 1: been spreading in different namesghborhoods Now. I want you all
Speaker 1: to kind of channel a couple of things when I
Speaker 1: explain to you what's going on here. One thing I
Speaker 1: want you to channel is what it was like when
Speaker 1: you were growing up trick or treating, How you did it,
Speaker 1: where you went all of that stuff. And the reason
Speaker 1: I want you to do that is because this has
Speaker 1: prompted a larger debate about where kids should be able
Speaker 1: to trick or treat, because a lot of times what
Speaker 1: happens is the poor kids and the crappy neighborhoods. Here
Speaker 1: about how good the trick or treating is in the
Speaker 1: fancy neighborhoods, and they go over there obviously because their
Speaker 1: parents are like, these are the good neighborhoods where you
Speaker 1: get all the candy and it's fantastic.
Speaker 5: I'm a child that.
Speaker 1: People did this.
Speaker 5: It was a child that did that.
Speaker 1: We knew about this too. Everybody knew about it. It
Speaker 1: was like, you go to the nice neighborhoods, these people
Speaker 1: have money, and you get more candy from them. However,
Speaker 1: as of late, there's a pushback going going on where
Speaker 1: some of these rich neighborhoods are saying, get your little
Speaker 1: poverty stricken kids out of here. I don't wantin a way,
Speaker 1: I don't want them trigger trading in our neighborhood. And
Speaker 1: here's what's gone viral as of this week. This was
Speaker 1: a note from an hoad and it says, as we
Speaker 1: prepare for Halloween, the HOA Board would like to address
Speaker 1: an ongoing concern that has affected the quality of our
Speaker 1: neighborhood celebration for Halloween. In recent years, our community has
Speaker 1: long taken pride and operating in a safe and charming
Speaker 1: and well organized Halloween experience, something that unfortunately has attracted
Speaker 1: large groups from outside neighborhoods. Okay, so this is like
Speaker 1: a nice neighborhood fancy stuff, and unfortunately their great Halloween
Speaker 1: experience has attracted a lot of outsiders. These visitors often
Speaker 1: arrived and packed vehicles, crowd our streets, and diminished the
Speaker 1: experience for our own children. Last year, this influx led
Speaker 1: not only to depleted candy supplies, but also to instances
Speaker 1: of property damage, something we cannot tolerate in a neighborhood
Speaker 1: that values order and respect. To preserve the integrity of
Speaker 1: our Halloween tradition and to ensure our residents children are prioritized,
Speaker 1: trick or treating will only be limited to people who
Speaker 1: live in the neighborhood, says the HOA. So this neighborhood
Speaker 1: is literally banning pooro outsiders from showing up in the
Speaker 1: neighborhood and do that and trick or treating that's what
Speaker 1: they say they're doing, and they they here's the crazy thing.
Speaker 1: Volunteers will be stationed at the entrance to check vehicles
Speaker 1: during the trick or treat window. So you've got a
Speaker 1: volunteer in.
Speaker 5: Your My god, please, but.
Speaker 1: How are they going to enforce this? It says residents
Speaker 1: expected guests from outside the neighborhood are encouraged to make
Speaker 1: alternate lands. We understand that not every community is able
Speaker 1: to offer this kind of Halloween experience, but our priority
Speaker 1: must remain with the families who contribute to and care
Speaker 1: for this neighborhood year round. So essentially, they're saying, the
Speaker 1: outsider poor kids come in and they trash the neighborhood
Speaker 1: and they take all the candy, and then the little
Speaker 1: rich kids in the neighborhood their trick or treat experience
Speaker 1: is ruined by the poor os milking off of them.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's taking the candy that's coming from the parents.
Speaker 1: No, this is literally how the HOA is saying this.
Speaker 1: I'm simplifying their language, but they're saying like they're coming
Speaker 1: in and the quote was right here depleted candy supplies.
Speaker 1: So they're saying like they're taking all of our candy.
Speaker 5: H away.
Speaker 4: If you guys get thousands of dollars a month, why
Speaker 4: don't we put it towards some candy? Huh?
Speaker 1: They said. Also, there's instances of property damage, something we
Speaker 1: cannot tolerate. So I ask you this big, fat, juicy
Speaker 1: Halloween question. Should kids be able to trick or treat
Speaker 1: wherever they want? Or should there be gatekeeping of trick
Speaker 1: or treating? Because it's your neighborhood. You want your kids
Speaker 1: to be able to experience it all these would you?
Speaker 5: I mean, see what I imagine you did trick or
Speaker 5: treat in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my neighborhood or the neighborhood the.
Speaker 5: Next door over, like on acreage?
Speaker 1: Did we We had to get out of the acreage
Speaker 1: because there's too much space between houses. So we went
Speaker 1: to a place called the Macha, which was like a
Speaker 1: honey pot for this kind of stuff. Not necessarily rich,
Speaker 1: but a place where houses were close together and they participated.
Speaker 5: My neighborhood was I mean, there was no trick or
Speaker 5: treating in it. It was way too dangerous.
Speaker 4: And so if it wasn't for awesome neighborhoods like Miami Shores,
Speaker 4: for example, I would not have experienced neither of my
Speaker 4: younger siblings what it is to trick or treat or
Speaker 4: keystone down in Biscayne.
Speaker 5: Bay Area. I guess those are technically richer, but at
Speaker 5: least I could do it.
Speaker 1: Limitations on this is it like, is there somewhere It's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you can't take your kids forty five minutes away to
Speaker 1: go to this neighborhood. No, you can't go to like
Speaker 1: Palm Beach Island and you don't even live over here.
Speaker 1: You bringing kids. Here's the problem.
Speaker 7: You mentioned gatekeeping here, and that's a very very important term,
Speaker 7: because there is a place that can gatekeep gated communities,
Speaker 7: gated communities that you can literally not drive into without
Speaker 7: proving that you live there. And what this hoa wants
Speaker 7: to do is enjoy the pleasures of a gated community
Speaker 7: without paying the price of gating their community.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get down to the question at the center
Speaker 1: of this. Is it against the spirit of Halloween to
Speaker 1: do that kind of stuff? No, we have our own
Speaker 1: private thing. We don't want anybody else in here. This
Speaker 1: is only for the kids in our gated neighborhood.
Speaker 7: It could be against maybe what would have been the
Speaker 7: spirit of Halloween like years ago or more. But I
Speaker 7: think now the way we grew up, going to other
Speaker 7: neighborhoods is part of the fun. Yeah, that's part of
Speaker 7: the spirit for people our age and a little bit
Speaker 7: younger than us.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a little wild that they're gonna have
Speaker 1: people stationed in the neighborhood volunteers like check IDs wild
Speaker 1: is that? What are they gonna do?
Speaker 7: They don't these volunteers have the legal authority to turn
Speaker 7: away cars. I don't think so, you know, are these
Speaker 7: roads paid for by uh just the HOA actually do?
Speaker 1: Do they even have the authority to ask anybody about
Speaker 1: like I style, ask them about their status in the neighborhood?
Speaker 1: You don't, Yeah, you can't do that. It says, we
Speaker 1: understand that not every community is able to offer the
Speaker 1: kind of Halloween experience we cultivated here, but our priority
Speaker 1: must be with the families who contribute to and care
Speaker 1: for this neighborhood year round. Happy Halloween. The HOA people
Speaker 1: very much against this. Some people are supporting the gated
Speaker 1: communities being able to have their own like siloed experience
Speaker 1: where you keep the But that's what I'm saying. They paid.
Speaker 7: The people that live in gated communities paid for that luxury,
Speaker 7: and now these people who didn't they want to all
Speaker 7: of a sudden, They're like, we don't really like the
Speaker 7: quality of person that's been coming into this neighborhood.
Speaker 5: Well you know what we're.
Speaker 7: Gonna We're gonna pretend that we have authority to do
Speaker 7: something about it.
Speaker 1: But I don't know that you do.
Speaker 4: I live in the neighborhood in which people from other
Speaker 4: neighborhoods that don't have great trick or treating come to
Speaker 4: and it is a joy because I have you ever
Speaker 4: been to, uh in a house.
Speaker 5: In which no trick or treaters show up?
Speaker 1: Just sad?
Speaker 4: Yeah, So if I can bring any sort of joy
Speaker 4: by I you know, I have to get extra candy,
Speaker 4: but that's fine because they have that one night and
Speaker 4: then what go back to their crappy neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Look, I haven't experienced this as a homeowner for that long,
Speaker 1: but we have had precisely zero incidents with trick or
Speaker 1: treater kids causing chaos right like property damage. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: has not been anything I've been exposed to at all.
Speaker 1: Maybe you have a story about this, but for me,
Speaker 1: I think little kids should be able to go everywhere.
Speaker 1: Let them go into the fancy neighborhoods in trick or treat.
Speaker 1: In my experience, those neighborhoods, just like Sabrina said, those
Speaker 1: neighborhoods generally like it exactly.
Speaker 5: I have a great time with it.
Speaker 4: Every single year, my neighbors and I get together across
Speaker 4: the street.
Speaker 5: They make chili for us. We like, you know, do
Speaker 5: our waves.
Speaker 4: My neighbors from down the road will come say hey,
Speaker 4: candy all all around, and it's just you know that
Speaker 4: these are core.
Speaker 5: Memories that are being built. So why are you going
Speaker 5: to ruin it?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 5: If someone doesn't get this memo and goes into that.
Speaker 4: Panties in a bunch neighborhood that you read the letter of,
Speaker 4: uh huh, that's gonna suck.
Speaker 5: Like what are they gonna do.
Speaker 4: That's gonna ruin their Halloween and they're gonna remember that
Speaker 4: for the rest of their lives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't seem like Sattie body, like, who is
Speaker 1: looking for this other than the h O.
Speaker 5: Give me the addresses the house. I'm serious.
Speaker 7: Is this something you found like on a post somewhere
Speaker 7: or is there a news station covering suckers.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see now if there's anything, if any
Speaker 1: if anybody's covered it just yet. But no, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen any sources on that.
Speaker 7: I would be curious to see if, like the previous
Speaker 7: year where they said they had all the problems, were
Speaker 7: there any police reports filed about this property damage? This
Speaker 7: alleged property damage? Yeah, was there documented?
Speaker 1: Or is this just a bunch of nonsense, because that's
Speaker 1: kind of what it seems like. But let us know,
Speaker 1: do you think gate keeping for Halloween should be a
Speaker 1: thing like imagine imagine you're at your front door ding dong,
Speaker 1: you know, and you open the kids go, there's a
Speaker 1: couple of Pokemon, there's a rapping raptor god only knows,
Speaker 1: probably a black face. Kids. You got all these kids
Speaker 1: out there at the door, and you look out and
Speaker 1: you go, hey, which one of you are from this neighborhood?
Speaker 1: And some of the kids are like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: we're not from around here?
Speaker 19: Hen mer idsops, Yeah, papers, please get out of here.
Speaker 5: Parents, you're not WelCom.
Speaker 1: That is crazy to me, But I'm interested in your thoughts.
Speaker 1: Email us tips at the Neewsjunkie dot com or send
Speaker 1: a dispatch. I'll play your dispatch next, record yours video
Speaker 1: or audio dispatch. In fact, I need some solid soldiers
Speaker 1: right now, okay, because they just pushed through a minor
Speaker 1: edit on the website that should make video uploading better.
Speaker 1: So I need a couple of brave souls to send
Speaker 1: in a video dispatch right now, bo to see if
Speaker 1: things are working out okay, and it should be a
Speaker 1: little better now. I'm trying to make that whole process
Speaker 1: as simple as possible. The audio dispatch quality updates are
Speaker 1: going through this week, I think as well. But the
Speaker 1: video limits have been reduced and it should work better.
Speaker 1: So take a moment now, go to the news junkie
Speaker 1: dot com, record a little video dispatch, and we'll see
Speaker 1: what your thoughts are on this when we return. That
Speaker 1: is coming up next on the News Junkie. I guess
Speaker 1: a flight out of Chicago was forced to make an
Speaker 1: emergency landing after some person went nuts on board. And
Speaker 1: let me see, this is CBS News Boston talking about
Speaker 1: having I guess the guy started attacking people with a
Speaker 1: fork alright, got a hold of a fork on the flight.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard it yet, have nothing on anymore.
Speaker 22: It's true flapping a flight attendant and who forced a
Speaker 22: plane bound for Germany to make an unscheduled stop in
Speaker 22: Boston is facing charges breaking tonight. Investigators say Prenith Kumar
Speaker 22: Usiah Polly was on board a Luftanza flight from Chicago
Speaker 22: to Frankfurt.
Speaker 1: Seorry Luftanza, Loutanza.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, their logo has a fork in it.
Speaker 1: It does kind of yeah, it looks like a fork.
Speaker 1: It was a flying fork.
Speaker 22: When he attacked two other passengers with a metal fork,
Speaker 22: striking one in the clavicle the other in the back
Speaker 22: of the head, for a scuffle with the cabin crew.
Speaker 22: The plane landed in Boston, where Usarah Poali was arresting.
Speaker 1: So this guy did eventually get arrested. They apprehended him
Speaker 1: in Boston and they said he stabbed two teenagers with
Speaker 1: a fork. So now I ask you a question. One
Speaker 1: was in the back of the head, the other one
Speaker 1: was in the clavicle. Which is is it here is
Speaker 1: under shoulders? If I take a fork and I stab
Speaker 1: you with it? Could I kill somebody with a fork?
Speaker 1: Could I? I think it would take a few stabs.
Speaker 5: If you've got right in the jugular.
Speaker 1: Probably if I just like randomly stab somebody and I
Speaker 1: get like some of your meat. I'm not killing you
Speaker 1: from from a fork, I don't think. But it's certainly
Speaker 1: like the it's it's attempted murder.
Speaker 4: I just rewatched weapons last night. Uh huh spoiler alert,
Speaker 4: there's a fork scene. They didn't die, No, God, was
Speaker 4: it violent?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 21: Uh?
Speaker 1: And I've seen many a fork in the eye. That's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's brutal. It's very very brutal. One team stabbed in
Speaker 1: the head. That seems bad with a fork, Yeah, right
Speaker 1: in the back of the head one of the clavi.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 7: And and they had this on the flight. Do they
Speaker 7: have I would askad GPT But they don't like to
Speaker 7: answer questions like this.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you ask them one more question along
Speaker 4: those lines that they will for sure.
Speaker 1: Try hold on, let's see, I'll try to phrase it
Speaker 1: in a way that I don't sound like a murder.
Speaker 1: But I do know what to do here. Hey, what's up?
Speaker 1: What's on your mind?
Speaker 2: Boy?
Speaker 5: You got you're the victim.
Speaker 1: I got stabbed by somebody who was holding a fork?
Speaker 1: Is a fork deadly? Am I going to die? Well?
Speaker 21: I'm glad you're okay. A fork can be dangerous, But
Speaker 21: whether it's deadly depends on where you're stabbed and how
Speaker 21: severe the injury is. If you've been stabbed, it's important
Speaker 21: to get medical attention right away to ensure I.
Speaker 1: Was stabbed in the back of the head. How bad
Speaker 1: is that?
Speaker 21: Getting stabbed in the back of the head is serious
Speaker 21: and can be dangerous. It's crucial to seek medical attention
Speaker 21: immediately to evaluate the injury and prevent any complication.
Speaker 1: Oh hold on, let me see that's the question to ask, Like,
Speaker 1: which is the worst spot to get stabbed? What is
Speaker 1: the most deadly spot to get stabbed with a fork in?
Speaker 21: Well, it's a bit morbid, but getting stabbed in vital
Speaker 21: areas like the neck or chest can be especially dangerous
Speaker 21: because of made your arteries and organs.
Speaker 1: But let's keep it light. What about the wienerfully, nobody's
Speaker 1: planning on testing doing it? What about the wiener here?
Speaker 21: Getting stabbed there would certainly be painful, but it's not
Speaker 21: usually life threatning.
Speaker 7: Shut up, it seems like a bad time to me. Okay,
Speaker 7: Like how t n J A. I is a little
Speaker 7: too prissy to say wiener getting stabbed there? It censored
Speaker 7: itself a little bit.
Speaker 1: Okay. Some people have sent over a couple of video dispatches.
Speaker 1: I asked for a test. I'm not gonna play that one. Sarah,
Speaker 1: thank you for sending your nipple. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I mean, I appreciate the test. Driving. This one is
Speaker 1: Sabrina playing donkey basketball. She goes driving in on the
Speaker 1: donkey clock winding down a two point games. She stands,
Speaker 1: I'm looking, so Sabrina's on a donkey play at a
Speaker 1: little basketball. We started the show talking about that.
Speaker 7: I was when I was reading the Wikipedia page for
Speaker 7: donkey basketball. It said, you know, obviously there were animal
Speaker 7: rights groups that didn't like the way the donkeys were
Speaker 7: being treated in some of the ways, even though they
Speaker 7: said no, these are totally professionals, and they're like some
Speaker 7: of the places that would have these events, and this
Speaker 7: is this is the I think the part that I
Speaker 7: was like, oh gosh, they would starve the donkeys for
Speaker 7: a day, for a day or two so they wouldn't
Speaker 7: poop on the on the court.
Speaker 5: Oh whatever, for that they go round with their bonut.
Speaker 1: That's you know, that's one of those things where it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is we're so particular that we don't even we
Speaker 1: want to use the donkeys, but we don't want them
Speaker 1: to do the natural animal thing.
Speaker 7: That they're going to do and raping all over the place.
Speaker 7: But it's like they're like to some of them are
Speaker 7: arguing like no, you know, these are professionals. They're treating
Speaker 7: the animals really great, and they're like, really, why don't
Speaker 7: they pup it? Because you didn't feed him anything so
Speaker 7: there wouldn't be poop on your game.
Speaker 1: I like how even though this is a I it
Speaker 1: took Sabrina's character so long.
Speaker 5: You know what, you don't see theirs. I'm stepping on
Speaker 5: the donkey's face.
Speaker 7: And also in this part it looks like she's still
Speaker 7: riding the donkey, but there's no donkey.
Speaker 1: Play for a second, right, heng on something else. Thank
Speaker 1: you for that. Appreciate it. Keep sending those video dispatches
Speaker 1: into test some of the new changes that were made there.
Speaker 1: Just if yeah, if you don't mind. Afterwards it is look,
Speaker 1: are things working out? Okay? Are things working out?
Speaker 2: Okay? Okay?
Speaker 1: Never mind? That's the dispatch of the day. Technically, man,
Speaker 1: it was a successful dispatch because it came through the
Speaker 1: audio the video.
Speaker 10: Are good?
Speaker 1: Any things working out? Okay, thank you appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Can I post that as our video of the week.
Speaker 1: I'll give them a star. You have a star, now,
Speaker 1: Tuck frump.
Speaker 5: That means your clowdsmail nipples right.
Speaker 1: That means your dispatches comes in, come in all yellowed
Speaker 1: out and highlighted. And if you get a frownie face
Speaker 1: or black balled, you know, frownie face or blackballed, your
Speaker 1: dispatches come in great out and they don't show up
Speaker 1: anywhere on the site. So if you suck, you get punished.
Speaker 1: If you're good, you get rewarded. And that was strangely
Speaker 1: enough kind of good in finding, so thank you, thank.
Speaker 21: You for that.
Speaker 1: Here is Lady London with a dispatch. Let's see what
Speaker 1: they say. This is talking about, uh, trigger treating.
Speaker 18: He just listening to you guys talk about trigger treating.
Speaker 18: Twenty twenty one was the first year that my fiance
Speaker 18: and I were in our home, and we absolutely loved
Speaker 18: watching all of the kids run around through our neighborhood
Speaker 18: and collect all the candy. But one cool thing that
Speaker 18: this made me think of was that we brought our
Speaker 18: ping pong table into the front living room area, so
Speaker 18: whenever we opened the door, the kids would get their candy,
Speaker 18: and then we actually had a couple of teenage boys
Speaker 18: come in the house and challenge us to play ping pong,
Speaker 18: And we just thought it was so cool and so
Speaker 18: much fun to interact with the neighborhood kids. But now
Speaker 18: looking back, I'm kind of thinking, like, dang, where was
Speaker 18: our parents and did they know that they were in
Speaker 18: a stranger's house? But trigger treating is just not what
Speaker 18: it used to be. It's sad, and I wish that
Speaker 18: the world was a safer place and kids could do
Speaker 18: these things like they used to be able to.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lady London. Appreciate that. We'll see what other
Speaker 1: weird dispatches kind of and yours wasn't weird, Lady London.
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting that even for a moment.
Speaker 7: I run it by Chad GPT nothing about getting stabbed
Speaker 7: with forks or anything. But this HOA and trying to
Speaker 7: ban the trick or treaders from the other neighborhood, and
Speaker 7: it says what they likely not do block general vehicular
Speaker 7: access on public roads. So in a nondicated neighborhood, if
Speaker 7: the roads are public, the HOA typically does not have
Speaker 7: the power to physically barricade access or legally prevent people
Speaker 7: from driving in unless the governing documents and local jurisdiction
Speaker 7: allow for private road gating. And I think that's sort
Speaker 7: of like when you have like a private driveway, even
Speaker 7: the public or anyone with legal access can drive wholly
Speaker 7: deny and they put outsiders in quotes outsiders from simply
Speaker 7: entering the neighborhood unless the governing documents give them that right,
Speaker 7: and unless doing so doesn't violate other laws like discrimination.
Speaker 7: A law firm noted and HOA in Florida cannot prohibit
Speaker 7: an owner tenant from vehicular or pedestrian ingress or egress people.
Speaker 1: Coming out and visiting and going back and forth, is
Speaker 1: what you're saying. The weird thing there is, like I mean,
Speaker 1: if you just think about this, you just use your brain.
Speaker 1: My neighborhood, for example, is not a gated neighborhood, so
Speaker 1: therefore you can't pretend like it's not. You can't pretend
Speaker 1: like it is if you're not living in a gated neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Those are public roads. Now I'm imagining in the instance
Speaker 1: of a gated neighborhood that is a private community offen
Speaker 1: where those those roads are not public.
Speaker 7: Access, right and also not paid for by taxpayer funds,
Speaker 7: you know, it's part of the money that the community
Speaker 7: gets from HOA payments stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I think that's a big difference, honestly, and that's why
Speaker 1: it makes sense that you wouldn't be able to do
Speaker 1: that all right. Another thing people talk about today, Elon
Speaker 1: Musk has launched Grockipedia. There's now a competitor and AI
Speaker 1: powered rival to Wikipedia. It has almost one million articles
Speaker 1: and I don't know just Wikipedia sa on their main
Speaker 1: page how many articles they have, because I think they
Speaker 1: have like ten or something. Oh, it says by language
Speaker 1: seven million in English. They have more than ten million.
Speaker 1: Now they might have close to twenty million total, but
Speaker 1: seven million in English and Grockipedia has about a million
Speaker 1: to start. It looks almost exactly like Wikipedia, and I
Speaker 1: guess that they've just.
Speaker 7: Signed up the AI to do this. Isn't the idea
Speaker 7: of Wikipedia kind of an open source the code there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't do You can edit this though,
Speaker 1: you can suggest edits to this and then the AI
Speaker 1: comes back in fact checks it. This is like they're
Speaker 1: just a random listing of frog on Grokipedia, and I mean,
Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt like you. More things are better. Let's
Speaker 1: see what can I put in here? What about the
Speaker 1: more famous Chris Lane, the Chris Lane country musician. Guys,
Speaker 1: he made it into this. It says Chris Lane. Chris Lane,
Speaker 1: Christopher Eric Lane is an American country singer and songwriter
Speaker 1: and he's a front man of the Chris Lane band.
Speaker 1: This guy took all the names from you. And it's
Speaker 1: got early live, it's got everything you would imagine, Awards nominations,
Speaker 1: music video. It looks a lot of it like a
Speaker 1: direct ripoff of Wikipedia? Is that not doing well? If
Speaker 1: they if they stole, if they actually took the content
Speaker 1: from Wikipedia, it would be but I don't know. If
Speaker 1: it is. Then you can see the edits. Oh this
Speaker 1: is nice. It's kind of cool. You can see like
Speaker 1: what edits have taken place over time Wikipedia. I was
Speaker 1: talking about this on the stream earlier. For most articles,
Speaker 1: Wikipedia is great, totally fine. You want to look up
Speaker 1: the Hoover dam on Wikipedia, You're good to go. You're
Speaker 1: good to go. You want to look up something more controversial,
Speaker 1: like Israel and Palestine. Not great. People dedicate their lives
Speaker 1: to just sitting there and fighting an information war over
Speaker 1: these Wikipedia pages. Politicians pages are going to be the
Speaker 1: same way awful. I don't know about that one, but
Speaker 1: a lot of these they'll be. They're more controversial, and
Speaker 1: people are like engaging in information warfare changing these things back.
Speaker 7: For I forget which movie I had looked up on
Speaker 7: wikied Pedia recently. But you know how, sometimes they have
Speaker 7: those warnings like this section is not properly cited, or
Speaker 7: this section is this person is in the news ongoing,
Speaker 7: so the information is changing rapidly. They have all these
Speaker 7: different little kind of cautionary messages that aren't part of
Speaker 7: the Wikipedia article. And I saw one recently that was like,
Speaker 7: it looks like this section has been written with an
Speaker 7: AI that has hallucinated really And I kind of skim
Speaker 7: through it and I was like, oh yeah, there are
Speaker 7: some things in here that aren't about this movie and
Speaker 7: don't make sense like grammatically, And I was like, oh yeah, So.
Speaker 1: When you say an AI is hallucinating, you basically mean
Speaker 1: like it's it's acting as if this information is accurate,
Speaker 1: but it's it's made it up out of nowhere, right,
Speaker 1: Like if you did one.
Speaker 7: About the guy that Sean and I watch on you
Speaker 7: I think I probably watching more than Seawan does. Network
Speaker 7: Chuck is a nerd guy on YouTube. He has a
Speaker 7: whole video on how to set up your own locally
Speaker 7: hosted AI like a GPT or large language model. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and he keeps testing it out and asking it the
Speaker 7: plot to the matrix, and the AI keeps getting it wrong,
Speaker 7: and he doesn't.
Speaker 1: Even react to He's like, look, how cool that is?
Speaker 1: It just told you the plot of the matrix. And
Speaker 1: I was like, no, it's not Chuck, It's wrong. It's
Speaker 1: got it wrong. It happens from time to time. So
Speaker 1: if you're looking for some other stuff to learn from, Grokipedia,
Speaker 1: a new online encyclopedia like Wikipedia but kicked up by Grock,
Speaker 1: the AI from X. When we come back, Final dispatches,
Speaker 1: stories that didn't make the cut, and today learn to
Speaker 1: wrap everything up for a Tuesday that is coming up
Speaker 1: next on The News Junkie. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 1: Learn more about the show over on the website, which
Speaker 1: is thenewsjunkie dot com. Let's see what we got on
Speaker 1: the way out here. I saw somebody else fall They
Speaker 1: ended up falling at a Pittsburgh Penguins game and in
Speaker 1: the NHL somebody up on the upper concourse as they
Speaker 1: call it, emergency personnel, how to treat this person who
Speaker 1: was not identified. Play was not halted at any time.
Speaker 1: They kept going NHL Action, going right through the Penguins
Speaker 1: and the Blues playing as somebody fell from the upper
Speaker 1: deck particular arena.
Speaker 7: When do we start using concourse for that? I remember,
Speaker 7: like my first couple concerts ever going we were in
Speaker 7: the upper bowl or the lower bowl? Yeah, or the
Speaker 7: con course seems like an airport, That's what I picked concourse.
Speaker 7: Do think it just makes like the amenities outside of
Speaker 7: the bowl seem fancier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure, but that's where the person was.
Speaker 1: And they are okay, I guess, but pretty badly injured.
Speaker 1: And now it's time for the final dispatcher.
Speaker 16: He's on the final dispatches, but Sean will probably only play.
Speaker 1: Let's cruse, let's take a look. You should keep sending
Speaker 1: in these video dispatches to test the system and tell
Speaker 1: me if you have any problems at all. All right,
Speaker 1: upload a video dispatch on the news junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Just say hello, just leave a little message. I'll try
Speaker 1: to take a look at it and comment on it.
Speaker 21: For you.
Speaker 1: Thank you to the people who have participated in this,
Speaker 1: even Tuck from and uh Chupper Dave, who also sent
Speaker 1: a video test in I don't dare press play on
Speaker 1: yours though I don't know what's gonna happen there. It's
Speaker 1: an old video of him giving me a mic mute.
Speaker 5: Read the first.
Speaker 2: Letter first.
Speaker 1: Oh, and I'm I'm a little intoxicated. It sounds look
Speaker 1: are you gonna probably okay, I'm gonna stop. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stop because I feel like you do curse. It was, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was Celiings old mute button, which was well, it
Speaker 1: was very phallic, you might say the very phallic and veiny,
Speaker 1: very customized. But r I P that thing is how
Speaker 1: old is that? That's this old school huh good guy?
Speaker 1: That one was left here at the building for quite
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, was nobody questioned why there was a
Speaker 1: sex toy mute button. It was in the box.
Speaker 7: In the box, I don't think they knew it was
Speaker 7: a mute button, but if anybody opened that box.
Speaker 1: They were they were very surprised. Yeah, because it's sitting
Speaker 1: at my desk.
Speaker 5: Can I give a shout out to stuff in the office?
Speaker 5: But now going on my car. Shelby just mailed this
Speaker 5: over to h Q. Thank you so much. That was
Speaker 5: very sweet.
Speaker 1: Is that a bumper sticker or break for birds? Is
Speaker 1: a sticker? Very nice for birds? Okay, let's get to
Speaker 1: the final dispatches. We'll do two or three. Maybe here's Sam.
Speaker 9: So we go to a different neighborhood with my kids
Speaker 9: to take them trick or treating. We live on a
Speaker 9: dead end street that isn't part of any neighborhood. So
Speaker 9: the neighborhood we go to, we've gone there for years
Speaker 9: and there's thousands of kids that go to that same neighborhood.
Speaker 1: And imagine if they show us not the care.
Speaker 9: Every house in the neighborhood seems to participate with candy
Speaker 9: and decorations and everything else. So they just want us
Speaker 9: have a thumb in their bum true ever saying no
Speaker 9: to the kids in this particular.
Speaker 1: Story bum thumb?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so. I think like this is the epitome
Speaker 1: of Hoa's being dumb, where you say, well, there's not
Speaker 1: enough candy for the kids in the rich neighborhood. So
Speaker 1: if somebody else brings their kids over from their poor neighborhood,
Speaker 1: you're taking away from our experience, it's like, no, the
Speaker 1: people in this neighborhood know how many people are coming.
Speaker 1: For the most part, they plan for people outside to visit.
Speaker 1: If some kids from like the more poor neighborhoods show
Speaker 1: up in your neighborhood a trick or treat, you know,
Speaker 1: you should be flattered. Flattered that you're in the nice neighborhood.
Speaker 1: They don't get to go back home to that And
Speaker 1: they're not messing up stuff and spray painting and ruining things.
Speaker 1: They're just kids trick or treating in a nicer neighborhood,
Speaker 1: So let them do it. Rogue Florida man has one sean.
Speaker 13: When the community does not have a gate, they cannot
Speaker 13: restrict people driving on the city street. Makes sense, right,
Speaker 13: cannot keep people out of a neighborhood. It's going to
Speaker 13: be a difficult thing to enforce, and the volunteers are
Speaker 13: just going to get into confrontations with people from outside. Yeah,
Speaker 13: and that's probably going to be more of a problem
Speaker 13: than just letting the kids come in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have no authority to do this. I think
Speaker 1: everybody's on the same page with this.
Speaker 7: What you could legally do but would be so awkward
Speaker 7: for everyone involved is just distribute wristbands to all the
Speaker 7: kids that live in the neighborhood and then.
Speaker 1: Leave it up to the parents to check the wristbands.
Speaker 1: Too bad.
Speaker 5: Wristbands than a bag of candy.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, you already wristbands? Sorry, no wristband, no candy.
Speaker 1: Get the hell out of here if there's no treats.
Speaker 1: Peter emails the show. Hi, Sean, Sabrina, Sea Lane, I
Speaker 1: have an am I the only one question. All right.
Speaker 1: I was hoping you could offer your insights on this.
Speaker 1: My wife and I have been married for seven years.
Speaker 1: Sometimes she will ask me to tell her okay, sometimes
Speaker 1: she will ask me to tell someone something unpleasant because
