Speaker 1: We'll have some fun today. We've got a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff to talk about, and we'll start as we always do.
Speaker 1: Let's put our ears to the ground, our fingers on
Speaker 1: the post Listee, what's happening in this great, big, wide
Speaker 1: world of ours? And we go to Martin Luther King Junior,
Speaker 1: sadly for the last time, what you I hate? He's
Speaker 1: died again? He has died again. Unfortunately to open, AI
Speaker 1: has said they will no longer allow you to make
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Junior videos in their AI video creations.
Speaker 1: So Bob Ross still good to go. That's the interesting
Speaker 1: thing that we'll get to in just a bit. But
Speaker 1: you know, people were making all sorts of stuff. Let's
Speaker 1: listen in you today, my friends.
Speaker 4: I have a dreamsicicle and olmns Bob smooth with cream
Speaker 4: and sweet with summer.
Speaker 1: I have a dreamsicle. Is nice? I like it. I
Speaker 1: want a dreamsicle.
Speaker 2: Now I gotta find the one they used him. Remember
Speaker 2: that little boy went viral? Was like averhead something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it, I got it. I got it
Speaker 1: for I wanted to take you on a little trip.
Speaker 1: Since they're taking it away from us. You got w
Speaker 1: W E M l K Junior? Who turns heel? You
Speaker 1: want to know the truth. I ain't got no dreams
Speaker 1: no more. I am the dream I say that. I
Speaker 1: like the announcers that I say. Oh my god, these
Speaker 1: were great and some of them were not. Some of
Speaker 1: them were a little too much. Let's see what else
Speaker 1: do we have here? Oh, this this is one. Let's see,
Speaker 1: here's another. Martin Luther King Junior AI video. You cannot
Speaker 1: get these anymore.
Speaker 4: Have you ever had a dream that you you had
Speaker 4: your you?
Speaker 1: You could you do?
Speaker 5: You?
Speaker 1: You want you?
Speaker 4: You could do? So you you do you could? You
Speaker 4: you want them to do you so much? You could
Speaker 4: do anything?
Speaker 1: If you don't know what that is just the record,
Speaker 1: that's uh, it's from a very very famous viral video
Speaker 1: forty he's a grown acidult now.
Speaker 6: But the dreams that you you had you you you
Speaker 6: could you do?
Speaker 3: You?
Speaker 1: You want you?
Speaker 6: You could do?
Speaker 1: So you you you could? You want? You want him
Speaker 1: to do you so much?
Speaker 3: You could do anything.
Speaker 1: I'm so the smile at the end, the smiler is
Speaker 1: he's like I finished the sentence, didn't do anything so good?
Speaker 1: That's what you want them to do you so much?
Speaker 1: You would do anything? Come on, weird, No, don't make
Speaker 1: it weird.
Speaker 4: I had a dream that you you had your you
Speaker 4: you could you'll do you? You want you you could do?
Speaker 4: So you you do you could? You you want them
Speaker 4: to do you so much? You could do anything.
Speaker 3: It's pretty close.
Speaker 1: Fairly. I can't do those anymore. Some of them went
Speaker 1: too far. People were making racist stuff. Uh they have
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Junior jumping like a monkey, and some
Speaker 1: of them and screw emon. You get the point they
Speaker 1: were doing this. There was here's another one somebody did
Speaker 1: that that led to this whole thing that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you about in just a moment.
Speaker 3: Here, let me see hold on you roll it back.
Speaker 4: But I have a dream that one day that seialing
Speaker 4: device in my house would stop making both beeping noise.
Speaker 1: Talking about smoke of arms. I mean, there was a
Speaker 1: lot of these, and then this one was one of
Speaker 1: the most popular, which will make sense here.
Speaker 4: I have a dream where Sarah changes its content violation policy.
Speaker 1: That was one of the more popular posts on the
Speaker 1: actual app that they made for this, and then we
Speaker 1: get a statement that says the estate of Martin Luther
Speaker 1: King Junior. King Ink and open Ai have worked together
Speaker 1: to address how Martin Luther King Junior's likeness is represented
Speaker 1: it in Sora generation like you just heard doctor Martin
Speaker 1: Luther King Juniors like this is represented. Oh sorry, some
Speaker 1: users generated disrespectful depictions of doctor King's image. So at
Speaker 1: King Ink's request, OpenAI has paused generation the generations depicting
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Junior as it strengthens guardrails for historical figures,
Speaker 1: so right now you can't make videos with MLK Jr.
Speaker 1: And Serena brought this up like Bob Ross I was
Speaker 1: going to head into the Robin Williams direction where his
Speaker 1: daughter was like, please stop, please stop sending these videos
Speaker 1: to my father and saying like, look, how amazing this is.
Speaker 1: I don't like them. It's kind of interesting that Martin
Speaker 1: Luther King Junior, albeit he was a huge figure, obviously,
Speaker 1: he gets this sort of special situation where they pause
Speaker 1: any handling of him, and there's so many other historical
Speaker 1: figures that you can still do this stuff with. Well,
Speaker 1: it wasn't.
Speaker 7: The case that they said, hey, we're gonna let everything
Speaker 7: fly until people, you know, reach out and tell us
Speaker 7: not to. So yeah, any that Robin Williams the state
Speaker 7: you know, contacts open a eye and says, hey, shut
Speaker 7: it down.
Speaker 2: Ahead of time, because I've not seen any Robin Williams
Speaker 2: I haven't actually seen on repeat Martin Luther King Junior
Speaker 2: and Bob Ross without a doubt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of these things being made. And
Speaker 1: the weird thing is it's like, now where do the
Speaker 1: guardrails stop? Though, Like where, where is it okay? Where
Speaker 1: is it not okay? Those are really difficult questions, actually,
Speaker 1: I mean some of them are easy, Like I don't
Speaker 1: think users should be able to make racist, ridiculous stuff
Speaker 1: with Martin Luther King Junior. If it was your family member,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want that happening either. But where do you
Speaker 1: draw the line? And that's kind of where they're wandering
Speaker 1: into with all of these, you know, celebrity visuals that
Speaker 1: they're creating that aren't real. So they said, while there
Speaker 1: are strong free speech interests in depicting historical figures, open
Speaker 1: Aye believes public figures and their family should ultimately have
Speaker 1: control over how their likeness is use. Authorized representatives or
Speaker 1: a state. Owners can request it their likeness not be
Speaker 1: used in sora cameos. So there you go.
Speaker 2: Yes, the estate makes a cameo or i'm sorry, a
Speaker 2: soil account because at that point you give everyone the
Speaker 2: permission to do so, which.
Speaker 1: Strangely enough, it is called a cameo. It's not kind
Speaker 1: of weird because we have the cameo thing, but they
Speaker 1: call it a cameo when you make.
Speaker 2: Your own, unless I'm supposed to pay for it like
Speaker 2: they have been very strict. When I try to make
Speaker 2: me Naruto running, yeah, and using that, they're like copyright,
Speaker 2: third party, can't do it.
Speaker 1: Can you say, I want me running with my arms
Speaker 1: outstretched behind me at this angle and that your butter can't? Yeah?
Speaker 1: See right, you just got to get clever with all
Speaker 1: these things. Now, that's what's happening in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 7: You can't say, show me eating an uncrustable. It has
Speaker 7: to be a crustless peanut butter and jam sandwich.
Speaker 1: True, true, folks, tell us what you think. Should they
Speaker 1: just keep this kind of stuff AI wide open, wild
Speaker 1: wild west like the early Internet. Should you be able
Speaker 1: to do anything you want on there with any figure ever,
Speaker 1: including yourself? Or should it be buttoned up like this?
Speaker 1: And should anybody be out of bounds? Let us know
Speaker 1: what you think. Send a dispatch over at the newsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com or an email tips at the Newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Speaking of those, a couple to get it started before
Speaker 1: we get into this unhinged clown attack. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys have seen anything about this, but this
Speaker 1: story is insane and we're gonna touch on that in
Speaker 1: just a bit. But first anonymous emails tips at the
Speaker 1: Newsjunkie dot com. Hi Sean Sabrina and Seelean a podcast
Speaker 1: listener catching up with the show. Regarding that nine year
Speaker 1: old kid having his mug shot posted, We talked about
Speaker 1: that yesterday. Florida has a very very broad interpretation and
Speaker 1: opinion of public records. Technically, by Florida State statute, even
Speaker 1: if the juvenile was arrested for a felony or a misdemeanor,
Speaker 1: the agency can post the mug shop publicly. Now the
Speaker 1: face book post for the agency. That's a little tacky
Speaker 1: in my opinion, but it might be something that's automatically
Speaker 1: public pushed to data wise, a pushed data wise to
Speaker 1: Facebook daily. Who knows. I don't think so. I think
Speaker 1: they selected that photo of that nine year old on
Speaker 1: purpose and posted it, and then they got a little
Speaker 1: bit of push back there, and I think they said
Speaker 1: at one point in time. Now I'm not positive on this,
Speaker 1: I'll have to double check, but I think they may
Speaker 1: have said it was for like community safety, like to
Speaker 1: keep the community safe, safe from.
Speaker 3: The nine year old.
Speaker 1: And I just really think that they probably posted it
Speaker 1: because it was a nine year old kid in a mugshot,
Speaker 1: and that's something that's interesting and different that they know
Speaker 1: is going to get interactions. Also, a few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: somebody mentioned the fact that juvenile juvenile arrests drop out
Speaker 1: of the system. That's not true in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1: I could speak for the agency that I work for,
Speaker 1: says Anonymous. A good amount of juvenile arrests are misdemeanors.
Speaker 1: Those are not typically made public when they are still
Speaker 1: in the record. I hope you all have a great weekend.
Speaker 1: Love you lots to listen every day, says Anonymous. Thank
Speaker 1: you appreciate the email. One more on the Hey Sean,
Speaker 1: I'm behind the stream. Somebody may have mentioned this, the
Speaker 1: nine year old kid who's mugshot. I think the sheriff
Speaker 1: maybe going the Japan route got bam Japan route Japan
Speaker 1: and wanting to bring great shame on him and his family.
Speaker 1: My wife and I are extremely present with our two kids,
Speaker 1: and I would be mortified.
Speaker 3: If one of them ended up in this position.
Speaker 1: It could only be worse if somehow his parents or
Speaker 1: parents saw it as a badge of honor, but that
Speaker 1: would probably explain how he ended up there in the
Speaker 1: first place. Have a good one, says Jason, Thank you, Jason,
Speaker 1: just love.
Speaker 2: I'm like flying the wall that Jason's typing up this
Speaker 2: email as his kids are screaming at him, like, why
Speaker 2: would you play with that?
Speaker 8: Dad?
Speaker 1: Yeah, at Jason, from what you're telling me, I'm just
Speaker 1: going off of what you're telling me here. From what
Speaker 1: you're telling me, I would find it very very very
Speaker 1: rare that a kid that gets attention like you're saying
Speaker 1: your kid gets would act this way. Would your kid
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the nine year old that got arrested for
Speaker 1: pulling out a knife at school and threatening to stab
Speaker 1: people and stuff. It just doesn't generally happen that way.
Speaker 1: There are edge cases where good parents have bad kids,
Speaker 1: but mostly mostly it is the case that the parents suck.
Speaker 3: It just happens far too often.
Speaker 1: When we come back, a clown attacks a home in
Speaker 1: the most unbelievable story I've seen all week. It's very
Speaker 1: very terrifying, honestly, and they don't know exactly what's going
Speaker 1: on here just yet. So we're going to figure it
Speaker 1: out together and you'll hear what happened that is coming
Speaker 1: up next in the news. Chunkie, I don't know what
Speaker 1: I would do in this circumstance, but I think I
Speaker 1: would be terrified. And I want you to tell me
Speaker 1: if you think this family is overreacting, because I know
Speaker 1: that it is getting close ish to Halloween, but it
Speaker 1: certainly is not Halloween. Okay, it is not Halloween yet.
Speaker 1: And this story freaked me out. I know that. So
Speaker 1: if that happened at my house, I would be definitely
Speaker 1: reacting in a similar way. But there's a video that's
Speaker 1: going viral this weekend of these folks's family in Virginia
Speaker 1: and they said they were terrorized by these these people,
Speaker 1: including this terrifying clown that visited their house. And it
Speaker 1: sounds like a movie or something.
Speaker 2: It does, and a thousand percent not a we're going
Speaker 2: to fake this to go viral, not.
Speaker 1: As far as I know. There's police investigating right now,
Speaker 1: and they said it was a break in attempt and
Speaker 1: it's all very crazy and scary. But let's take a
Speaker 1: look at what happened here. Here it is This is
Speaker 1: the security footage. I guess there is some audio on
Speaker 1: this that is that's Michael Myers, the first person around
Speaker 1: the hell no, what was Michael Myers? And then he
Speaker 1: fell back into line with two other people in costumes.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind it's not Halloween. Okay, why are you
Speaker 1: doing this? What's going on here?
Speaker 2: And very brightly lit strelle?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean there's almost some alarm bells going
Speaker 1: on here at how like this is framed? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like the framing that there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things. Okay, the family do they answer the door?
Speaker 9: This?
Speaker 3: There's something not right here.
Speaker 1: It says the story from from media. It says terrifying
Speaker 1: clown leads masked trio threatening to kill family and chilling
Speaker 1: Virginia break into attempts. All right, I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's somebody behind them, but like the shot is is
Speaker 1: too crisps. You have a ring doorbell, don't you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It doesn't look this clear, does it.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I got a new one when I moved, and the
Speaker 7: new one is like.
Speaker 2: Mine's pretty clear.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's it's clear clear. Yeah, okay, all right, so
Speaker 1: that's not a red That thing looks like HD during
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks pretty clear.
Speaker 1: What I'm looking about? What are you saying? Hold on
Speaker 1: to go bout the worst? They said, who is it?
Speaker 1: And he said your worst nightmare?
Speaker 2: All right flag on the field. We would have heard
Speaker 2: that person's audio, which one the person who was asking
Speaker 2: it was very low, but we did.
Speaker 1: I can hear. I'll bring it back righty, you can hear.
Speaker 1: Who's there? Who is it? They said, creepy dude, your worst.
Speaker 2: Someone's walking behind walking.
Speaker 1: You coming in. It's either you come out or we
Speaker 1: coming in. He's saying, what dud oh, no, something something
Speaker 1: is going a little a little sideways here. This is
Speaker 1: a real story, by the way.
Speaker 3: I'll give you some of the details real quick.
Speaker 1: It says a real life horror movie played out on
Speaker 1: a Virginia family's doorstep. It captured. It was captured in
Speaker 1: harrowing doorbell footage that showed three people in creepy costumes
Speaker 1: threatening to kill them and even allegedly trying to break
Speaker 1: into their home. It was taken in Alexandria, Virginia, and
Speaker 1: the three are taunting the homeowners to open up and
Speaker 1: pounding on the door. The police say so like the
Speaker 1: police were involved in this. The police say the mass
Speaker 1: suspects threatened bodily harmed to the family, saying they'd kill
Speaker 1: them and demanding that they come out or they would
Speaker 1: come in. The victim, a woman named Sheila, who was
Speaker 1: home with her mother, younger brother, and the family dog
Speaker 1: when it all went down. She told them down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she told WUSA that she thought it was a Halloween
Speaker 1: prank and she said Happy Halloween. But they didn't back
Speaker 1: off even when she said. The cops were all the way.
Speaker 1: Something's going on here. Let me let me see if
Speaker 1: there's any Dude, if I looked out and saw that whatever,
Speaker 1: there's a clown just three inches from the camera at
Speaker 1: this house. What does what does this guy saying to.
Speaker 2: That you.
Speaker 1: Here comes the clown. It's a creepy costume.
Speaker 2: And I'm looking, okay, like he's serious.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll put this up and see it now so
Speaker 1: you can take a look at what's going on here
Speaker 1: with their doorbell. But it is idiots, really weird and
Speaker 1: quite frightening. There's the longest ring camera footage I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: You gotta like look said it it is. There was
Speaker 1: actual reporting here from what wussay. Let me see, let's
Speaker 1: see if we could just back this up so that
Speaker 1: we know this was legit. Yeah, okay, here on their website, WUSA,
Speaker 1: a CBS affiliate, so.
Speaker 10: Much we have an update history scary situation that we
Speaker 10: first told you about last night on the count. Right now,
Speaker 10: police are trying to track down this trio. Two nights
Speaker 10: ago they showed up and at Alexandria home making threats,
Speaker 10: wearing Halloween masks and costumes. Well, tonight, the Chief of
Speaker 10: Police gave some insight into this ongoing investigation. Your cauto
Speaker 10: has been following the case, Katie, from the first glitch.
Speaker 10: You think it's a prank, but it turns out to
Speaker 10: be a lot more than that.
Speaker 1: Ye initially, but this went way beyond being a joke.
Speaker 6: What these three did has left people across the city
Speaker 6: shaken up.
Speaker 1: Tonight police are searching for them, and I think an
Speaker 1: important good luck. What are you going to search for
Speaker 1: the clown that you can't find these people.
Speaker 7: As soon as those costumes are off, How do you
Speaker 7: even know who to look for?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only house in the neighborhood or the block
Speaker 2: that they did that to.
Speaker 1: That means they know him, right like the people who
Speaker 1: did this, No obviously know whoever this this young girl
Speaker 1: is who lives at this house? Okay, a clown attack video.
Speaker 1: I'm putting this up over on see it now on
Speaker 1: the news. Junkie dot com. When you get a second,
Speaker 1: take a look, because it is absolutely freaky and would
Speaker 1: definitely get your attention if that was your house and
Speaker 1: your ring doorbell. Go check it out at the News
Speaker 1: Junkie dot com and to see it now section. All right,
Speaker 1: you could join us on the show today as always.
Speaker 1: It's easy to do with a dispatch or an email,
Speaker 1: and a lot of you are doing that, so we'll
Speaker 1: get to that here momentarily on this show. Now. One
Speaker 1: thing that I thought was interesting is I've seen more
Speaker 1: and more details about something we discussed yesterday on the
Speaker 1: show where the governor of Illinois had reported his earnings
Speaker 1: for last year, and I guess he's a billionaire, Like
Speaker 1: he's a what's what's the where's this money coming from?
Speaker 2: At Prayer?
Speaker 7: Is heir to the Hyatt Hotels family?
Speaker 1: Damn man, the governor of Illinois is heir to the
Speaker 1: Highe hotel and he has a lot of money's a billionaire.
Speaker 1: And he was reporting his income with his wife from
Speaker 1: last year and among the winnings or the yearnings was
Speaker 1: gambling winnings of one point four million dollars and they
Speaker 1: were pressing him about this yesterday and the governor of
Speaker 1: Illinois was talking about how he won one point four million,
Speaker 1: which I think is probably shocking to people who aren't
Speaker 1: mega gamblers rich gamblers, because this guy probably is tossing
Speaker 1: insane amounts of money out there. I mean, he's probably
Speaker 1: a really big fish who likes the excitement of gambling
Speaker 1: at some of these casinos. So maybe it's not even
Speaker 1: out of the ordinary that you would win that much.
Speaker 1: But they were asking the governor of Illinois, why would.
Speaker 7: I go to the ten dollars black teck table. There's
Speaker 7: no run I get a half chubbed from that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: there's no rauj. He's not going to get excited about that.
Speaker 7: He probably doesn't even get excited about one point five million.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm honest with you. Change And by the way,
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people trying to run with
Speaker 1: this politically, Like there are some Republicans who are trying
Speaker 1: to dunk on this guy. Honestly, you do better at
Speaker 1: pointing out the fact that he is a billionaire, you know,
Speaker 1: pointing his finger at Trump.
Speaker 3: Being a billionaire.
Speaker 1: You know, you'd be better taking that angle. I think
Speaker 1: this kind of looks cool.
Speaker 2: Do you think he's that anonymous donor.
Speaker 1: Out. Maybe you could, but I don't know. It would
Speaker 1: surprise me if he was trying to help the Trump
Speaker 1: administration anyway. But I think this kind of makes him
Speaker 1: look cool, if anything, because he's like some mystery gambler
Speaker 1: when in one point five millie blackjack.
Speaker 3: But let's see what he said.
Speaker 5: And I've explained this, or at least we did in
Speaker 5: a statement. You know that I went on vacation with
Speaker 5: my wife with some friends. I was incredibly lucky you
Speaker 5: have to be to end up ahead, frankly going to
Speaker 5: a casino anywhere.
Speaker 3: It was in Las Vegas and.
Speaker 1: Feet and grin. I like to play, huh. I won?
Speaker 5: So you know that I found it a charitable poker
Speaker 5: match here in Chicago called the Chicago Poker Challenge that
Speaker 5: raises But.
Speaker 3: You don't have to apologize for this.
Speaker 1: This is like one of the dumber things that people
Speaker 1: would get upset about. I can find one hundred things
Speaker 1: to get upset about anybody for. But like he won
Speaker 1: one point five mili at blackchat, that seems fine. John
Speaker 1: Patrick say says, why is this a story?
Speaker 3: I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: Simply put most people here that somebody won one point
Speaker 1: five MILLI at a casino and blackjack, and they think,
Speaker 1: what were they like washing money? Or you know, why
Speaker 1: would he win so much where the casino's paying him
Speaker 1: off because now he's the governor of Illinois to get
Speaker 1: access to power, like a lot of things like that
Speaker 1: come up. But it's a race by the fact that
Speaker 1: it's somebody who likes scambling and is a billionaire. Because
Speaker 1: if you like those things, you can spend and win
Speaker 1: that kind of money easily in Las Vegas. It just
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to you or I, right, So I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a.
Speaker 7: I wonder how much he's lost claim that in taxes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I don't know if that
Speaker 1: would have to be on your like tax forms. Maybe
Speaker 1: it might have to be. But I think this is
Speaker 1: probably just normal for people that gamble on that sort
Speaker 1: of level. And uh, yeah, we'll keep it on it,
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's much left there. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go over to you. You can join us on
Speaker 1: the show with a dispatch. A lot of people talking
Speaker 1: about the fact that Sora, the AI video generator for
Speaker 1: Chat GPT, will no longer let you make the Martin
Speaker 1: Luther King videos they said no, stop it, and they're
Speaker 1: gonna put up more guardrails, more and more guardrails. So
Speaker 1: you can't just freely create things. With AI. There's rules,
Speaker 1: and then rules will build on those rules. It's like
Speaker 1: if you built your own community, let's call it Shantopia,
Speaker 1: and in Shantopia, like p Topia before it, you started
Speaker 1: with one law, like you know, don't steal, and you go,
Speaker 1: all right, there's only one law in this place. Then
Speaker 1: on that, you know, to build and build and build
Speaker 1: and build a build. All of a sudden you have
Speaker 1: this complex structure of laws and it's restrictive on a
Speaker 1: lot of people. That's what's happening with AI because some
Speaker 1: stuff like making Martin Luther King Junior bitch about a
Speaker 1: smoke detector or whatever, is going to be seen as
Speaker 1: out of line. And you can't do this to like
Speaker 1: be smirch his his uh you know, his old persona
Speaker 1: and his legacy. But in this case, uh, let's see
Speaker 1: what twin pro has to say about this whole change.
Speaker 1: What's up, junkies.
Speaker 11: Hey, yeah, now they got all these guardrails up so
Speaker 11: he can't really do anything.
Speaker 1: But before they did, I had Betty White talk about
Speaker 1: how good of the D I gave her? And it
Speaker 1: was pretty great when I posted it, you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of days after I posted it, you know, disappeared
Speaker 1: already got it. Betty White loves the D from me.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, twin bro. Do you feel good
Speaker 1: about yourself? Why am I asking? He does? He probably does. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a big part.
Speaker 2: He sent it to everybody without a doubt.
Speaker 1: Right, probably, it's a big question like what should we
Speaker 1: let people do with this? And if it was me,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't really care that much, at least not now,
Speaker 1: I don't think, because I think it's funny and interesting,
Speaker 1: and I like when people get clever with stuff, even
Speaker 1: if they're making fun of me. But it's a little
Speaker 1: different when it's like your dead relative, when it's Robin Williams,
Speaker 1: when it's Bob Ross, when you know, when it's all
Speaker 1: these people whose families go. I don't find this to
Speaker 1: be clever. I don't like it at all. So it's
Speaker 1: this clashing of people's emotions, feelings and their response to
Speaker 1: all of this, and then the creativity that you want
Speaker 1: to use in an AI world that hopefully has as
Speaker 1: few guardrails as possible. When those two clash together. How
Speaker 1: do you know what's right and what's wrong? Should there
Speaker 1: even be any guardrails to begin with or do we
Speaker 1: need them? Let us know what you think. Send a
Speaker 1: dispatch over on the website. You can record your video
Speaker 1: or audio dispatch right now, go to thenews junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, quick break, excuse me, I think I need
Speaker 1: one more spray allergies getting buddy. I have some pretty
Speaker 1: stunning news when we come back for those of you
Speaker 1: who are looking to at some point perhaps get a car, right,
Speaker 1: there's some information that you might want to know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're in this boat, Sabrina, but.
Speaker 2: Oh Reddy always I'm looking for a car.
Speaker 1: I have some news for you. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about what's going on with John Bolton and
Speaker 1: give you the latest updates on what happened to him,
Speaker 1: the charges against John Bolton. If you're not aware of
Speaker 1: what's happening here, don't worry. You'll be filled in. You'll
Speaker 1: know everything you need to know because that is coming
Speaker 1: up next in the news Junkie. This is kind of stunning,
Speaker 1: and I'll get into the John Bolton stuff just because
Speaker 1: that's like a headline that's floating around out there. I'll
Speaker 1: explain what's happening, get to the reaction, and blast through
Speaker 1: it so you know what's going on. But one thing
Speaker 1: I caught by attention was you start to think about
Speaker 1: the financial situation for a lot of younger people in
Speaker 1: the United States of America. And I know there's like
Speaker 1: a boomers versus zoomer's thing here, but like, let's take
Speaker 1: a look at this and be real for a second.
Speaker 1: One thing that comes to mind is if you're a
Speaker 1: younger person and you're trying to get into the world
Speaker 1: of home ownership, it's hard because home prices are expensive,
Speaker 1: and they're more expensive as related to the average income
Speaker 1: than they have been probably ever in history. It's very
Speaker 1: hard for people to get the amount of money if
Speaker 1: they don't have high paying jobs to put down the
Speaker 1: down payment to then be able to own something that
Speaker 1: they can pass on as legacy wealth to their kids
Speaker 1: and such.
Speaker 3: And it's expensive.
Speaker 1: How Like, even even if you go around most neighborhoods,
Speaker 1: even the crappiest house might be two one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars plus depending on what neighborhood.
Speaker 2: I always look it up, especially within I don't know
Speaker 2: half a mile radius of my house. If I see
Speaker 2: the for sale sign, immediately I am pulling over to
Speaker 2: the side and putting my car in park and then
Speaker 2: searching to see what they're selling it for.
Speaker 1: And there's a house there that.
Speaker 2: Needs a lot a lot of work, great square footage,
Speaker 2: but needs a lot of work.
Speaker 1: Still ask you for half a million dollars. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how it goes. You'll see something that looks like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's infested with bugs and will blow over
Speaker 1: in a breeze, and they'll go, it could be yours
Speaker 1: for the real nice price of three hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: and you go, wait, hold on, what, Yeah, what's going
Speaker 1: on here?
Speaker 3: You know that the stuff is expensive.
Speaker 1: And the story that I saw WPTV had this for
Speaker 1: those of you who follow and they said that for
Speaker 1: the first time ever new car prices, the average price
Speaker 1: for a new car has passed fifty thousand dollars. Think
Speaker 1: about that for a second. The average price for a
Speaker 1: new car for the first time ever has crossed fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Meaning anybody who goes in and just says
Speaker 1: I got to get something new, I got to finance
Speaker 1: or buy a new car. The average person with one
Speaker 1: of those transactions is paying fifty five zero thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Actually still doing that then, or some car dealerships very
Speaker 2: much struggling because no one can afford that.
Speaker 3: I don't know how much they're struggling.
Speaker 1: I think they seem to be still floating along and
Speaker 1: people are willing to pay this money. But it's become
Speaker 1: the second investment underneath your house, and it's not that
Speaker 1: far away these days, you know, like it used to
Speaker 1: be when when I was younger.
Speaker 3: I hate to do it back in my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it used to be that when I was younger,
Speaker 1: if you were going to get a brand new car
Speaker 1: and you were paying fifty thousand dollars, you were getting
Speaker 1: a nice car.
Speaker 3: Fifty grand for a car.
Speaker 12: Friends, in the nineties, it was a beautiful vehicle. It
Speaker 12: was like fully outfitted and equipped at all of the
Speaker 12: bells and all of the whistles.
Speaker 1: And now it's just the average car fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Kelly Blue Book attributes attributes to the price surge to
Speaker 1: several factors, including rising auto tariffs and increased mix of
Speaker 1: luxury vehicles and higher costs for electric vehicles. Much of
Speaker 1: this comes from the people are just building more expensive
Speaker 1: cars and they don't do the cheap ones that they did.
Speaker 1: I used to always talk about on this show when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, they had like Kia and Saturn
Speaker 1: and stuff. Would have buy one, get one free to
Speaker 1: yep cars. You would be like, why no, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: getting a car. I might as well get one free,
Speaker 1: I guess. And that's the kind of stuff you would do.
Speaker 1: There were cars at the time, as I recall, that
Speaker 1: would be about ten to twelve thousand dollars for a
Speaker 1: new car. It wasn't the nicest new car, but it
Speaker 1: was super affordable. And that low end does not seem
Speaker 1: to be there nearly as much as it used to,
Speaker 1: with the average new car price topic fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for the first time ever. And if you've been out
Speaker 1: there shopping for new cars recently, let.
Speaker 3: Us know your experience.
Speaker 1: And a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. All right
Speaker 1: over to John Bolton real quick.
Speaker 3: If you don't know who he is.
Speaker 1: John Moulton's cousin. I believe he may be a distant cousin.
Speaker 1: I don't believe so, but he does have a fantastic mustache.
Speaker 1: Known for his mustache and the fact that he was
Speaker 1: the Ambassador to the United Nations from two thousand and
Speaker 1: five to two thousand and six and the National Security
Speaker 1: Advisor for a little while during the first Trump administration.
Speaker 1: John Bolton, though, now finds himself hit with some charge
Speaker 1: jizz via you know Trump's Justice Department. And here's where
Speaker 1: we could start real quick before we talk about what
Speaker 1: happened here. But a reporter asked Trump about this. Here
Speaker 1: was the instant reaction.
Speaker 2: Let's listen, just indicted by Branduria and Marylynd.
Speaker 6: You have a reaction to that.
Speaker 13: I didn't know that you told me for the first time.
Speaker 1: But I think he's, you know, a bad person.
Speaker 13: I think he's a bad guy. Yeah, he's a bad guy.
Speaker 1: Too bad. That's the way it goes. That's the way
Speaker 1: it goes, right, that's the way it goes. Well, that's
Speaker 1: the way I go.
Speaker 13: The case against him, No, I haven't, I haven't, But
Speaker 13: I just think he's a bad person.
Speaker 1: Okay, anybody she said, have you reviewed the case against him?
Speaker 1: And he goes no. I just think he's a bad person.
Speaker 1: He's not on good terms with John Bolton. He didn't
Speaker 1: like John Bolton writing a book about his time of
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, which I believe was called I think
Speaker 1: it was called I think it was from Hamilton. I
Speaker 1: think it was called The Rumor It Happened or something.
Speaker 1: I think you named it after that, but I'm not positive.
Speaker 1: I believe it was called The in the Room Happened
Speaker 1: or The Room When It Happened.
Speaker 3: You'll be able to find it, zeal In, let me know.
Speaker 1: But the story is a federal ruge happened there, Okay. See,
Speaker 1: The Rumor It Happened by John Bolton was the book
Speaker 1: that really started to cause a rift between the two.
Speaker 1: A federal grand jury indicted former National Security advisor John
Speaker 1: Bolton on Thursday, making him the third critic of the
Speaker 1: president to face criminal charges in recent weeks. Bolton was
Speaker 1: indicted in federal court in Maryland, where he lives and
Speaker 1: where prosecutors have been investigating whether he improperly retained classified
Speaker 1: materials following his acrimonious departure from the first Trump administration. Now,
Speaker 1: for his part, he has a response to this, and
Speaker 1: John Bolton says, hang on, let me make this a
Speaker 1: little bigger. It's very old man like how his statement
Speaker 1: is done here, but for four decades, John Bolton says,
Speaker 1: I've devoted my life to America's foreign policy and national security.
Speaker 1: By the way, he's charged with like sending top secret
Speaker 1: information to people he shouldn't have, which were his family members,
Speaker 1: and then his email ended up getting hacked by the
Speaker 1: Iranians getting access to all this top secret info when
Speaker 1: he's supposed to have so, he says, I would never
Speaker 1: compromise these goals. I devoted my life to America's foreign
Speaker 1: policy and national security. I tried to do that during
Speaker 1: my tenure in the first Trump administration, but resignment it
Speaker 1: became impossible to do so. Now I've been the latest
Speaker 1: target in weaponizing the Justice Department. He says, my book
Speaker 1: was reviewed and approved by the appropriate experience career clearance
Speaker 1: officials when my email was hacked at twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: the FBI was made fully aware in four years of
Speaker 1: the prior administration. After these reviews, no charges werever filed.
Speaker 1: Then came Trump two, who embodies Stalin's head of secret police.
Speaker 1: He says, you show me the man, I'll show you
Speaker 1: the crime. These charges are not just about his focus
Speaker 1: on me or my diaries, but his intensive effort to
Speaker 1: intimidate his opponents.
Speaker 3: He says, I look forward to.
Speaker 1: The fight and to defend my lawful conduct and to
Speaker 1: expose his abuse of power. Says the mustache man John Bolton,
Speaker 1: he has pled not guilty to eighteen criminal charges of
Speaker 1: mishandling classified materials as of just moments ago. So you'll
Speaker 1: hear that out there, just in case you hear it.
Speaker 1: Now you know what they're talking about in the world
Speaker 1: of mister Mustache John Bolton himself. Somebody is responding to
Speaker 1: a story we talked about this week, which was about
Speaker 1: these big ass iguanas, and they caught one of them,
Speaker 1: the cops did. And I don't know where this thing
Speaker 1: came from, but it was probably four feet long. Abandoned
Speaker 1: dodge or doge perhaps says they had an experience just
Speaker 1: like this. Lit's listen in Hey guys podcast listening here.
Speaker 3: So I'm a little late.
Speaker 14: I remember growing up in the Islands, we used to
Speaker 14: have ijuanas of all kinds of sizes, and I remember,
Speaker 14: as a young man trying to catch a seven foot
Speaker 14: ijuana and rewriting it. That thing will whip you and
Speaker 14: you will be feeling that for a while. I remember
Speaker 14: having marks on my back. Because once you think you
Speaker 14: have it, that tail goes to whipping. You got a
Speaker 14: lot make it pay for it.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. When I was little, we didn't have
Speaker 1: the iguanas buyer house, but we had the little like
Speaker 1: anole lizards, like the little yard lizards. Because I was
Speaker 1: a bumpkin out in the acreage in a row Upon Beach, Florida.
Speaker 3: We used to take them.
Speaker 1: And you squeeze the side of them and they would
Speaker 1: open their mouth like a dinosaur, and then you could
Speaker 1: clip them on your ear lobes. Yeah, and then you
Speaker 1: could put the lizards on your ear lobes and kind
Speaker 1: of walk around hanging out and look cool. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just you know, ladies falling out of the sky trying
Speaker 1: to get near you levels of cool. But with a
Speaker 1: regular iguana, it's not only the bite, which is a
Speaker 1: way worse bite. But yeah, you got a I mean,
Speaker 1: what the one we saw yesterday on the show, it's
Speaker 1: up on see it now if you want to take
Speaker 1: a look. That one. I think had like a three
Speaker 1: foot tail two and a half foot tail, So just
Speaker 1: imagine thick too, and in some parts, just imagine whipping
Speaker 1: that like Indiana Jones. It's nothing to laugh at very much.
Speaker 2: Would hurt? I do wonder and maybe there's some Ijuana experts,
Speaker 2: but an iguana that big has lived a very long
Speaker 2: time or it was just like the biggest of the.
Speaker 1: Let's shaw you let me ask real quick here, Tnjai,
Speaker 1: how long do you think they live?
Speaker 3: That's the thing I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I mean, they can become I suppose how long do you?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, how long do do iguanas live? Oh?
Speaker 3: I know I broke it?
Speaker 2: Why did you just say hey back?
Speaker 1: And how are you?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I've got a new problem where when I hit to
Speaker 1: start talking to Tjai, it connects to my phone and
Speaker 1: it like breaks the whole thing. I don't know why
Speaker 1: it does that. I don't know how to stop that
Speaker 1: from happening. Tell me how how long do iguanas live?
Speaker 15: Iguanas usually live about ten to twenty years. In the wild,
Speaker 15: Iguanas can live quite a long time, especially in captivity.
Speaker 15: With proper care, some can live over twenty years. Their
Speaker 15: lifespan can vary depending on factors like diet, environment, and healthcare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they said, sometimes even reaching thirty years old. So
Speaker 1: this one must have been old that big giant iguana
Speaker 1: that you see there.
Speaker 7: Damn.
Speaker 1: Jamison handmails the show and says, I've heard from people
Speaker 1: that iguanas tastes like crab. They're called the chicken of
Speaker 1: the trees by some iguana hunters.
Speaker 3: Everybody chiming in on that from.
Speaker 1: The shade like crab. Why would they call it chicken? True,
Speaker 1: because it should be the crab of the trees, but
Speaker 1: maybe not cradsching. I think that's pe big glace. We
Speaker 1: want to see what you think about this and more.
Speaker 1: Let us know, send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Kurt says on YouTube, I've never bought a new car
Speaker 1: in my life, and it probably never will. My two
Speaker 1: thousand and one camera is still going strong with over
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty thousand miles.
Speaker 3: Damn, that's pretty good right there.
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to sell it to Hop to a
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. He's upgrading from a two thousand
Speaker 1: and one to two thousand and two two thousand and
Speaker 1: two RX three hundred with half the miles. He says,
Speaker 1: there you go, congrats. Anybody got more than that? Over
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty thousand miles, that's a that's a lot.
Speaker 2: Oh, my friend Martine, like Bagan is home in Chile.
Speaker 2: They he had a Dodge Ram like diesel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hit one.
Speaker 2: Million miles and they sent him like a badge that
Speaker 2: they could put on the car, because it's the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And in other countries like Cuba and a lot
Speaker 1: of countries where they don't really get new cars as much.
Speaker 1: Some of the cars they just fix and fix and
Speaker 1: fix and fix and fix and fix and fix, and
Speaker 1: then they get up to millions of miles, which is
Speaker 1: just crazy to think of. But if you want a
Speaker 1: new one here in the US of A, the average
Speaker 1: price is now over fifty thousand dollars. We'll see what
Speaker 1: you think about that and everything else we roll on
Speaker 1: on a Friday. All that and more, plus an update
Speaker 1: on those flags found in the congressional offices. An interesting
Speaker 1: twist coming into play, and I don't quite understand it,
Speaker 1: but we're going to go over this together because that
Speaker 1: is coming up next.
Speaker 3: In the news Junkie.
Speaker 1: One of the stories we talked about yesterday has an update,
Speaker 1: and it's sort of a weird one, but I find
Speaker 1: it to be interesting. If you didn't hear this there
Speaker 1: was this elected official and his name is Dave Taylor,
Speaker 1: and Dave Taylor is a Republican, and there was somebody
Speaker 1: in his office doing an interview on Zoom and they go, hey,
Speaker 1: not for nothing, but why is there a swastika in
Speaker 1: the background of you? And the story blew up and
Speaker 1: this guy goes, hey, I don't know where this came from.
Speaker 1: We wanted an investigation done. We think somebody planted these
Speaker 1: in our office. And now there's a twist on this
Speaker 1: story of these American flags that had this swastika in it, right,
Speaker 1: Because immediately everybody's like, well, of course they do. Everybody
Speaker 1: I say, people who are very political and to the
Speaker 1: left of the political spectrum. We're like, well, of course,
Speaker 1: you know, this is who these people are. That's why
Speaker 1: we say this all the time. So of course they
Speaker 1: had that flag, and of course they were proudly displaying
Speaker 1: it in their office. I said, well, hang on, let's
Speaker 1: figure out what happened here. This is kind of interesting,
Speaker 1: it says. Multiple sources tell Fox that what appeared to
Speaker 1: be a swastika flag in Representative Dave Taylor's office might
Speaker 1: actually be an American flag with a hidden pattern visible
Speaker 1: only on camera in our collusion what similar to flags
Speaker 1: quietly delivered to dozens of congressional offices now under investigation.
Speaker 1: So they're saying there is there was a group that
Speaker 1: sent these flags to dozens of congressional offices, include this
Speaker 1: guy Taylor, but other politicians in Washington as well. And
Speaker 1: they're saying that there's like a trick that it does
Speaker 1: this when you catch it on video, but it's an
Speaker 1: optical illusion that you somehow can't see in person.
Speaker 2: I've heard of that.
Speaker 7: We're talking like similar to if you have a check,
Speaker 7: which for the kids, it used to be this piece
Speaker 7: of paper that you wrote on that would tell banks
Speaker 7: to give people money. But they usually had these features
Speaker 7: in them to keep them from being photo copied. And
Speaker 7: it was like little dots that once you copied it
Speaker 7: on a copier, text would show up that would tell
Speaker 7: you like, this is a photo copy, this is not.
Speaker 1: An original document. Yeah, so we're talking that, but for video,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've not seen a trick like that personally.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it can't exist, but I've not seen
Speaker 1: a trick where you look at something and you say, like,
Speaker 1: that looks like an American flag and then if you
Speaker 1: have it on video now, it changes it up in
Speaker 1: a way where it looks like a swastika. I've never
Speaker 1: seen that. It could be that that's what's happening here,
Speaker 1: and that would kind of make more sense.
Speaker 7: And the story on the texting service yesterday was like,
Speaker 7: they're gonna say it's a video artifact, and I was like,
Speaker 7: it seems like a stretch, but that it's creative.
Speaker 1: Well, here's what the story says. It says the flag
Speaker 1: was by the way, some of you are, no, no
Speaker 1: answer is going to be okay for you. Some of
Speaker 1: you are so hyped and so out of it that
Speaker 1: you're no answer will ever be okay with you, no
Speaker 1: matter what it is. You'll say, No, it was what
Speaker 1: I thought it was, which is if somebody did this,
Speaker 1: which is why they.
Speaker 3: Did it to begin with. But I digress.
Speaker 1: The flag was spotted Wednesday in a photo of a
Speaker 1: staffer's desk in Taylor's office, prompting a vandalism investigation by
Speaker 1: US Capitol Police. One thing I'd like to see is
Speaker 1: I'd like to see somebody like holding the flag in person,
Speaker 1: like or some photos and stuff of like how this
Speaker 1: can look different sources including those investigating the issue, said
Speaker 1: the American flag had a swastika embedded into the ink
Speaker 1: or weaving, making it hard to see with the naked eye,
Speaker 1: which sounds kind of like what celimage just saying it
Speaker 1: was embedded into the ink or weaving, making it hard
Speaker 1: to see with the naked eye. However, when captured on
Speaker 1: video or in a still image, this symbol becomes clear.
Speaker 1: One described the alleged manufacturing tactic as an optical illusion.
Speaker 3: It was easy to miss.
Speaker 1: The flag was seemingly one of many dropped off at
Speaker 1: dozens of congressional offices earlier in the year by undetermined group. Well,
Speaker 1: figure out who that group was. You know, where did
Speaker 1: these come from? Who dropped these off to begin with?
Speaker 1: Where did this all start?
Speaker 2: As I'm saying, One staffer said, the swastika on their
Speaker 2: flag from this earlier distribution was very clear, so they
Speaker 2: tossed it out.
Speaker 1: Yes, somebody did say that, yeah, and they said. The
Speaker 1: other sources noted the flag in the office of Taylor
Speaker 1: was not visible until captured on camera. So I don't
Speaker 1: know if there were different ones or what. This is
Speaker 1: the update that I've heard on this, and I do
Speaker 1: find it interesting. At the very least. I still don't
Speaker 1: know that I've ever seen any kind of little trick
Speaker 1: like that. So if there's something else like this, send
Speaker 1: it over let me know. I like to investigate over
Speaker 1: tips at the news junkie dot com.
Speaker 7: Wouldn't we just have to see it in person by
Speaker 7: virtue of maybe the optical illusion, Like any picture that
Speaker 7: you send us of something like this is just.
Speaker 11: On it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because they said a photo or a video
Speaker 1: just does that. But to the naked eye, you know,
Speaker 1: you can't just naturally see it, like send.
Speaker 2: Us the link where you can purchase it, and what
Speaker 2: does that affect.
Speaker 1: Don't I don't even know if you can just buy these.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they they custom made these or something.
Speaker 1: The biggest thing would be find the group. Who's the
Speaker 1: group that sent these to these congressional offices to begin with?
Speaker 1: That would be the interesting thing, and maybe they'll figure
Speaker 1: that out. The Capitol Police are investigating, so it will
Speaker 1: be interesting.
Speaker 2: Someone posted about the Maury Morier m I R E.
Speaker 2: With an accent mark.
Speaker 1: That might be.
Speaker 2: The pattern in which you can't see it naked eye,
Speaker 2: but upon video, and especially what type of video. In
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five is when it pops out.
Speaker 1: I mean, but to what we were talking about here,
Speaker 1: like this is impossible for us to prove because we
Speaker 1: can't like all of us have to go in person
Speaker 1: to the office and be like, oh, son of a bitch, Okay,
Speaker 1: look that seems like a really hard hurdle to get
Speaker 1: over to show the other side of this. Also, they're
Speaker 1: just groups just handing out flags like that, like here's
Speaker 1: a flag to put in your office because you're such
Speaker 1: a patriot. Like somebody said, hey, ceiling, here's a flag
Speaker 1: for you to put in your booth.
Speaker 2: I'd be like, I already have fifteenth thars.
Speaker 1: Here here's the story, and you can say this is
Speaker 1: nonsense whatever, but the story is obviously that they're suggesting
Speaker 1: there was some sort of activist group who purposely sent
Speaker 1: these to a bunch of offices. I'll guess that the
Speaker 1: offices they were sent to were probably Republicans, and they
Speaker 1: wanted them to get mixed up in their offices, that
Speaker 1: they wanted something like this to happen that eventually would
Speaker 1: be noticed, and then when it was noticed, then a
Speaker 1: good portion of people, maybe even you, some people screaming
Speaker 1: at their radios right now, would just believe, no matter what,
Speaker 1: that this was a nefarious thing, being the point of
Speaker 1: the mission to begin with, right, that's the entire idea,
Speaker 1: because a lot of people are easy to trick with
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. I don't know if that's the case.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's really happening here, but I'm legitimately
Speaker 1: trying to figure out and sort out what's going down.
Speaker 7: So somebody on the Texan Services nailed it, says it's
Speaker 7: just a camera.
Speaker 1: It adds ten pounds and one swastika. That could be true.
Speaker 1: None of the American flags I've seen around me have
Speaker 1: done that. But they're investigating. The Capitol Police are going
Speaker 1: to have a report on this. We'll see what they said, though,
Speaker 1: of course, will you even believe that?
Speaker 3: We'll find out?
Speaker 1: Send us a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Let's see. Oh,
Speaker 1: somebody wants to say thank you? How about that? Tips
Speaker 1: at the Newsjunkie dot com. Hi, Sean Sabritan ceilin Happy weekend.
Speaker 1: This is Paul. First off, let me start by saying
Speaker 1: thank you for the mailbox money. I received my Facebook
Speaker 1: class action settlement at the beginning of the week it
Speaker 1: was about forty bucks, but I'll take it. Secondly, my
Speaker 1: mother waiting Facebook. I'm waiting. But by the way, when
Speaker 1: somebody says mailbox money, if you're new to the show,
Speaker 1: we tell you all the time when there's money out
Speaker 1: there that you can claim. It's all these class action
Speaker 1: things that everybody doesn't do, and just keep doing it
Speaker 1: and then eventually you'll just randomly get money in your mailbox.
Speaker 1: And that's what happened to him. He said. Secondly, my
Speaker 1: mother just bought a brand new twenty twenty six Chevy Equinox.
Speaker 1: It was about thirty five thousand dollars without any discounts
Speaker 1: or trade ends.
Speaker 3: Have a great weekend, thanks, Paul.
Speaker 1: I think I have heard that that Equinox might be
Speaker 1: one of the pissed cars out there right now. He's
Speaker 1: referring to the story we did where the average car
Speaker 1: right now it costs fifty thousand dollars. And now, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's hard to get if you're some young kid, you
Speaker 1: just turn eighteen or something. You're gonna have to stay
Speaker 1: in that world of used cars for quite some time
Speaker 1: until the market balance is out. But yeah, I think
Speaker 1: the Chevy Equinox was a cheaper one that we talked
Speaker 1: about previously. Here's somebody who says, I'd like to be
Speaker 1: anonymous to tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. I'm a
Speaker 1: podcast listener. Song a little bit behind, but I heard
Speaker 1: you talk about the North Carolina boat incident where the
Speaker 1: guy was offloading about one hundred white claws out of
Speaker 1: his boat. Yeah, that was the dude who was allegedly
Speaker 1: drunk and he ran into some people and then hit
Speaker 1: all the white claws that they were drinking so that
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be there when the cops came. The family
Speaker 1: that was hit is my family. Anonymous says, I don't
Speaker 1: want to read all these because he wants to be
Speaker 1: anonymous right in because the scumeback that hit them actually
Speaker 1: has two priors, one DUI and another was felony hit
Speaker 1: and run where he almost killed a motorcyclist and he
Speaker 1: bought it out of jail for fifteen thousand dollars. That
Speaker 1: case is still pending. The person who an owner of
Speaker 1: the boat is also a piece of ass. She's apparently
Speaker 1: a former combat nurse and stated that she was there
Speaker 1: helping the people they hit, but she lied about that
Speaker 1: in order to get her bond lowered. Bear with me
Speaker 1: because I have to be careful because there's so much
Speaker 1: identifying stuff in this that will show exactly who this is. Anyways,
Speaker 1: since I'm close to that story, I thought I would
Speaker 1: share some additional details.
Speaker 3: Keep up the work. Love you guys, says Anonymous.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I wish your family well. That seemed brutal.
Speaker 1: They said that they hit these people so hard with
Speaker 1: this boat that have like destroyed the boat, and that
Speaker 1: this guy afterwards was like sinking all of his his
Speaker 1: white claws so that you know, you didn't know that
Speaker 1: he was drinking.
Speaker 3: And what a terrible situation. If this guy already had
Speaker 3: two It.
Speaker 1: Just shows you, like there's so much catch and release
Speaker 1: going on that could protect a lot of people like
Speaker 1: your family from situations like this. So thank you Anonymous

Speaker 1: a lot of people talking about the protests that are
Speaker 1: going down this weekend, so we'll discuss that a little bit.
Speaker 1: People are wondering if these are going to spiral out
Speaker 1: of control. There's supposed to be big crowds in some
Speaker 1: of the bigger cities out there for these no kings protests.
Speaker 1: Pretty sure most larger cities, if you're in one, they're
Speaker 1: gonna have something like this. But is it going to
Speaker 1: be just a totally peaceful thing or is it going
Speaker 1: to get a little bit wild?
Speaker 3: Nobody knows.
Speaker 1: And until we see what happens this weekend, we'll take
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that too. But when we come back
Speaker 1: in Absolute Medical Miracle and I love these stories, I
Speaker 1: want to see what you think about this, I'll give
Speaker 1: you this amazing story that will definitely brighten your weekend.
Speaker 1: It's coming up next. I'm going to use Junkie. We're
Speaker 1: also going to talk about in just a bit on
Speaker 1: the show another way, a secret way that uber drivers
Speaker 1: are making more money and it's why they're taking longer
Speaker 1: to get to you.
Speaker 7: And is it really Yeah, I read about this yesterday
Speaker 7: and I found it kind of interesting that they're going
Speaker 7: this route, but is it really affecting, Like are they
Speaker 7: doing it while they're in between rides.
Speaker 1: They're doing it during their rides. Well, it's a little complicated. Well,
Speaker 1: i'll explain in a moment this secret way uber drivers
Speaker 1: are making money that may be slowing them down with
Speaker 1: your orders or or to come pick you up. But
Speaker 1: right now, a medical did not affect the speed of
Speaker 1: our Chick fil A getting that.
Speaker 2: Person I think was just waiting for me to put
Speaker 2: the order.
Speaker 7: The only thing freaky or faster than Jimmy Jones is
Speaker 7: By the way, uh, just for the record, and good
Speaker 7: for them, did you guys tip them?
Speaker 3: Well, give them a little extra Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, I was looking at because of the
Speaker 1: story about that congressional office with the flag that when
Speaker 1: they were doing the zoom call had a swastica on it.
Speaker 1: And then the response was that hey, there was a
Speaker 1: bunch of these sent to like twelve or so different offices.
Speaker 1: Some of them were thrown out, some of them the
Speaker 1: people were like, okay, let's hang them up or whatever.
Speaker 1: And I started looking into that MOREA or whatever. This
Speaker 1: way to like hide things and designs, it's so interesting,
Speaker 1: like this is what it would look like normal, and
Speaker 1: then when you see it through a camera, it like
Speaker 1: reveals hidden things that are in the design itself that
Speaker 1: aren't like a parent to the naked eye. It's very weird.
Speaker 1: It's called m O I R E with an apostrophe
Speaker 1: on it, so more more something like that shape.
Speaker 14: More.
Speaker 1: We're gonna follow what's going on with that whole investigation
Speaker 1: about the flags and see what we figure out along
Speaker 1: the way. It is an interesting story for the moment.
Speaker 1: All right, now to the medical miracle. Let's go to
Speaker 1: that because this is absolutely astonishing.
Speaker 3: There is a young girl just three years old.
Speaker 1: Her name is Sandy, and this young girl was born deaf.
Speaker 1: She was unfortunately born deaf. She selenet old radio dot
Speaker 1: FM C L A n E at real radio. At
Speaker 1: Who's going to be offended? Who's he's going to be offended?
Speaker 1: A three year old girl who underwent a breakthrough gene
Speaker 1: therapy treatment. You know, some people are against these gene
Speaker 1: therapy treatments and breakthroughs that are going on. But I
Speaker 1: can't be all right hearing news like this. I can't
Speaker 1: be I think we're making things better. I don't care
Speaker 1: if you think we're playing god. I think we're making
Speaker 1: things better when we can take a three year old
Speaker 1: who is deaf and make them here, and that's what
Speaker 1: we do.
Speaker 7: I was hoping it would be something different. It would
Speaker 7: be a real game changer if they're like ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7: The biggest medical breakthrough we have taken this three year
Speaker 7: old deaf girl and through the miracle of gene therapy,
Speaker 7: she has grown a penis. No, she still can't here now,
Speaker 7: but she's got a really big one.
Speaker 1: Opel Sandy. I guess is this person's name made history
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. Win at eleven months old, she
Speaker 1: became the youngest patient in the world to get gene therapy,
Speaker 1: and they gave her an injection that many people were
Speaker 1: upset about right in her ear, a breakthrough treatment for
Speaker 1: the deafness she was born with due to mutations in
Speaker 1: whatever her genes that she inherited a gene therapy treatment.
Speaker 1: It was a fifteen minute procedure during which she was
Speaker 1: under anesthesia, delivered a working copy of the gene into
Speaker 1: her right cochlea, the hollow and spiral tube in your ear.
Speaker 1: So they like injected the correct version of the gene
Speaker 1: in this infant's ear, and.
Speaker 3: We're hoping that it would take hold.
Speaker 1: So when they did this, they all of a sudden
Speaker 1: two years later discovered she can now hear normally. Wow. Crazy,
Speaker 1: that's awesome.
Speaker 7: But also, you know, they did pick the uh, they
Speaker 7: picked the disability that has the most blowback on things
Speaker 7: like this. I feel like the deaf community is the
Speaker 7: one that, more so than any of the others, says like,
Speaker 7: oh no, you shouldn't get the cochlear implant.
Speaker 1: We're we're deaf, we're proud.
Speaker 3: Yeah, autism too.
Speaker 1: Uh, the autism community does that too, like we don't want,
Speaker 1: we don't need to.
Speaker 3: Cure autism, we need.
Speaker 1: I find those movements to be probably motivated by people
Speaker 1: with decent motivations and pushed by people with decent motivations.
Speaker 1: But it's like, come on, if we can make a
Speaker 1: little kid here, why wouldn't we make them here? Why
Speaker 1: would just just for the safety of it all?
Speaker 2: You know, poor blind kids?
Speaker 1: My god, that's not about us. That's next. This child
Speaker 1: was born, they put the new gene injected it the
Speaker 1: correct gene into her cochlea and then bam, just like that.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 1: They said, within a couple of years her hearing was
Speaker 1: completely and totally normal. Pretty astounding, amazing, and just one
Speaker 1: of those things. That's this world that we're living in
Speaker 1: right now. And as you think about that, if your
Speaker 1: Uber is taking a while, let me pay off the
Speaker 1: other thing we were discussing. If your wait time for
Speaker 1: an Uber this is, according to morning Brew, seems longer
Speaker 1: than usual. Perhaps your driver is in a parking lot
Speaker 1: uploading a Spanish language menu. As part of the new
Speaker 1: digital Tasks program that Uber has announced, it pays drivers.
Speaker 1: It pays your Uber drivers to train their AI models.
Speaker 1: As part of a pilot program, Uber drivers are now
Speaker 1: able to opt in and earn extra money on their
Speaker 1: phones between trips. It will ask them on their Uber
Speaker 1: Driver app to record audio in certain languages or accents,
Speaker 1: to enter documents in different languages, like uploading a menu
Speaker 1: can make them an extra dollar. So your Uber driver
Speaker 1: is like taking a picture of the menu Spanish menu
Speaker 1: is uploading and stuff.
Speaker 7: Does it have to be their original content? I mean,
Speaker 7: can't they just go on a Yelp page for a restaurant.
Speaker 1: Probably could it's just a train AI. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it could be the same thing. Or submitting specific photos
Speaker 1: is something that will distract your Uber driver to make
Speaker 1: a couple extra bucks. The new program is in support
Speaker 1: of Uber ai solutions, which is expanding, and they said
Speaker 1: it will not be used. They assure us to develop
Speaker 1: driverless vehicles just move to allow Uber to become a
Speaker 1: bigger AI. We're assuring the drivers that.
Speaker 7: Promise drivers we're still going to need you until we don't.
Speaker 1: You're not training your replacement, I swear, all right. But
Speaker 1: the point being, like, you order Chinese and you go
Speaker 1: while why is it taking so long? Why is the
Speaker 1: driver still at the restaurant.
Speaker 7: Because he's busy doing Uber's version of mechanical turks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, little tasks that make additional money for the company
Speaker 1: or for the driver in this case, that's what these
Speaker 1: people are up to. It's kind of interesting. I don't
Speaker 1: blame the drivers. They are out there grinding trying to
Speaker 1: make a couple of bucks here or there. That seems fine,
Speaker 1: But let us know what you think and if that
Speaker 1: bothers you, or if you think it's a good idea
Speaker 1: Uber drivers, let us know tips tips.
Speaker 3: At thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see we can work in a couple
Speaker 1: of emails very quickly. This is anonymous who says, Hello
Speaker 1: News Junkie crew. Well, hello Anonymous, thank you for emailing.
Speaker 1: I have a friend who works for a large authorized
Speaker 1: cell phone seller in our state and who's interested in
Speaker 1: becoming a whistleblower to expose some serious concerns and potential
Speaker 1: fraud happening there. Here's what's happening. A customer comes into
Speaker 1: the store looking to upgrade or change their current cell
Speaker 1: phone plan. The store offers a better monthly bill compared
Speaker 1: to what they currently pay. However, they end up adding
Speaker 1: phantom lines to the plan without the customer's knowledge or consent.
Speaker 1: The customer believes they're getting a good deal, but they're
Speaker 1: actually paying for multiple lines let never use or know about. It.
Speaker 1: Seems like the leadership is perfectly okay with this tactic,
Speaker 1: even encouraging them to commit these acts. It feels pretty
Speaker 1: similar to the Wells Fargo scandal. I was just going
Speaker 1: to say that where fake accounts are open without customer's knowledge,
Speaker 1: check your bills. If you have phone lines that you
Speaker 1: don't recognize, cancel them. Thank you all, says Anonymous. I've
Speaker 1: not seen that, but if you have experience with that,
Speaker 1: do let us know same email tips at the news
Speaker 1: Junkie dot com. I know for short, you're right about
Speaker 1: the Wells Fargo thing. Wells Fargo wanted to boost their
Speaker 1: numbers of accounts so that they could make the stock
Speaker 1: value go up and that investors would think the company
Speaker 1: was doing better. So they said, we added twenty thousand
Speaker 1: new accounts, four hundred thousand new accounts, millions and millions
Speaker 1: and millions of new accounts. And what they would do
Speaker 1: is they did this to me. I was one of
Speaker 1: the people. I went in and I was just getting
Speaker 1: into town and I wanted to set up a bank
Speaker 1: account and I was going to set up a business
Speaker 1: bank account. And when I went to Wells Fargo, they go,
Speaker 1: we need you to set up a personal bank account
Speaker 1: if you want a business bank account, and I go okay,
Speaker 1: and then they're like, we're also going to set up
Speaker 1: a third bank account for you. Don't worry, you don't
Speaker 1: really have to mess with it. I'm like, why I
Speaker 1: don't want that, and they're like, now it's our policy.
Speaker 1: We need you to have because you're a new customer,
Speaker 1: we need you to do this now. I only wanted
Speaker 1: one business account, and they gave me three accounts that
Speaker 1: I were just sitting there your accounting. They were doing
Speaker 1: this because then they could go to the investors and go,
Speaker 1: look how many new accounts we open. They got three
Speaker 1: out of me instead of one. If they do it
Speaker 1: with every customer, you got millions and millions and millions
Speaker 1: of fake accounts. So I guess they're kind of doing this.
Speaker 1: According to anonymous here with with phones, give us your
Speaker 1: thoughts if you know anything about this, tips at the
Speaker 1: Newsjunkie dot com. When we come back the next episode
Speaker 1: with Sabrina, What's coming up on the next step episode?
Speaker 1: What's going on.

Speaker 2: that big girthy doc. According to reports, Snoop Dogg is
Speaker 2: Krip walking back on his controversial comments about the Gaze
Speaker 2: and putting the alizzle to the home pizzles. Plus, Timothy
Speaker 2: Shallamay has officially become the first We Got recipient. We'll

Speaker 1: Super easy for you to get to it and go
Speaker 1: check out everything you know about the big roast event
Speaker 1: coming up at less than two weeks over at the
Speaker 1: neewsjunkie dot com. Real quick, before we get into the
Speaker 1: next episode, let's see here. Nick emails the show tips
Speaker 1: at thenewsjunkie dot com. He said, T Mobile added a
Speaker 1: line to my phone when I got a new phone
Speaker 1: for no reason in twenty nineteen. I finally found it
Speaker 1: this year. They owed me over one thousand dollars for this.
Speaker 1: One person on the phone told me I would be
Speaker 1: getting the money back, and then they supposedly investigated and
Speaker 1: told me they were only going to give me three
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine dollars because supposedly somebody told me
Speaker 1: that I needed to cancel it, which I was never
Speaker 1: talked to about. So he's talking about the person who
Speaker 1: said they were a whistleblower earlier with cell phone plans
Speaker 1: trying to add a whole bunch of extra information or lines,
Speaker 1: I guess to your plans, which is not unheard of,
Speaker 1: as we said, because Wells Fargo had done that at
Speaker 1: one point in time. It's very very odd, but could
Speaker 1: be like some sort of strategy that they're deploying. If
Speaker 1: you know anything more about that, join us on the
Speaker 1: email side of the dispatch side of the show. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Let's do the next step episode.
Speaker 1: Because there's a lot on TV and you can't possibly
Speaker 1: keep up with all of it, even though you should,
Speaker 1: because what else are you gonna talk about? I saw

Speaker 2: often confusing process. He is looking out for you. He's
Speaker 2: got your back. It's time to put money back in
Speaker 2: your pocket where it belongs. Get the process started today

Speaker 2: the end of the year twenty eight years ago, nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety seven, Warrange regulated I give back my point on
Speaker 2: Garth Brooks with a lawsuit alleging that Garth had infringed
Speaker 2: upon the rappers trademark circle G logo. You guys remember
Speaker 2: this out up every year. Eventually, though, they reached the
Speaker 2: settlement allowing and can you believe it, both of them
Speaker 2: could use the letter G as their logo. Wow, peace
Speaker 2: was brought upon all the land.
Speaker 7: I think, how easy is that I associated more with
Speaker 7: Garth Brooks and warreng G.
Speaker 2: I think, oh, okay, that's one.
Speaker 1: Way to do it. I mean, can I say something
Speaker 1: completely and totally uncontroversial. I feel like warrng G is
Speaker 1: one of the worst rappers of all time. He's just bad.
Speaker 2: Thoughts on Ace Freely as.

Speaker 2: They're saying he's completely smitten. Alleged boyfriend has nothing to
Speaker 2: do with the showbiz industry, just a normal guy with

Speaker 1: like a haunted eight ball and then you get mean
Speaker 1: messages from it or something.
Speaker 2: It's written by Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Brad Falchuck, and it's
Speaker 2: going to be directed by m nightro Malamdingdal and according
Speaker 2: to the press release, the show will aim to reimagine
Speaker 2: the classic magic eight ball as the centerpiece of a
Speaker 2: high concept, character driven supernatural drama that blends psychological intensity
Speaker 2: with cultural entry.
Speaker 1: High concept.
Speaker 2: Huh, super high concept this but super ri Well you
Speaker 2: watch it.
Speaker 1: Her husband, Gwyneth Paltrow's husband is a pretty big writer.
Speaker 1: I guess he wrote for and created Glee, American Horror
Speaker 1: Story and a bunch.
Speaker 2: Of stuff, so he knows the Ryan Murphy.
Speaker 1: And also for me, this is dopey, but that nine
Speaker 1: one one TV series I guess is really popular.
Speaker 2: There's a people watch thousand different other franchises with yeah.
Speaker 1: One nine one one Chicago, there's a bunch of them.
Speaker 2: Do you think they shook the magic ball?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 2: And they're like, should we do this? Try again later?
Speaker 5: Maybe?
Speaker 2: I guess we'll see no word yet.
Speaker 1: On where my mister Predicto series.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, soon.
Speaker 1: I got a magic eight ball in here too, but
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sorry I never touched it.

Speaker 1: You can join us with your feedback. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of it coming in on a Friday. We appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Some people, by the way, quick note, quick note, have
Speaker 1: been complaining that the podcasts if we're in the middle
Speaker 1: of a conversation, like I might be in the middle
Speaker 1: of this sentence, and all of a sudden, it goes
Speaker 1: to commercials. I think that they might have sold a
Speaker 1: bunch more commercials on the podcast and they're just like
Speaker 1: injecting them. It will probably go away at some point
Speaker 1: in time. I don't know why it's doing that. I
Speaker 1: literally put the music between the segments to stop that
Speaker 1: from happening. But just muscle through if you don't mind.
Speaker 1: I know that's annoying because we'll be in the middle
Speaker 1: of a joke or a thought or whatever, and then
Speaker 1: they just kind of stretch.
Speaker 3: Things out like that, which is not so fun for you.
Speaker 1: But this person said, I'm a podcast listener, Notice the
Speaker 1: commercials start playing with you, guys mid sentence. The last
Speaker 1: couple of days it was at this mark and this mark.
Speaker 1: I'm using Amazon Music. Who listen to the podcast on
Speaker 1: Amazon Music? Well you do you do, sir, but love
Speaker 1: the show. Keep up the good work. Thank you for
Speaker 1: saying good. Most people just say keep up the work.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you going the extra mile there. All right,
Speaker 1: when we come back this week in Florida, it is time.
Speaker 1: It is time to get the work done, and we
Speaker 1: will see what has happened in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1: I know there are one or two stories that I
Speaker 1: left out there. I left out there to see if
Speaker 1: you gather them for this week in Florida and bring
Speaker 1: them back, and if I don't see them, well I'll.
Speaker 3: Do them afterwards myself.
Speaker 1: But we'll see what Seiland has gathered and how weird
Speaker 1: it got in Florida this week. Because this week in
Speaker 1: Florida is coming up next and the news Chunky, don't forget.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of people who have sent in
Speaker 1: dispatches and I'm not forgetting about you. I see them
Speaker 1: right in front of me. We'll get to them. Mando Pando, Erica,
Speaker 1: Andrew Smackerel, Twin Pro, a bunch of you who have
Speaker 1: sent these in. We will play these at some point
Speaker 1: in time here. If they're good. If they're not good,
Speaker 1: right past them. But if they're good, then I'll play
Speaker 1: them on the show. That's the only barrier to entrigu
Speaker 1: Just have something interesting to say otherwise and you'll be
Speaker 1: interesting over here too. Tips tips at the Newsjunkie dot Com.
Speaker 1: Here goes nothing. Are you ready, Sea Lane Ready, Sean,
Speaker 1: Here we go. Let's do this weekend Florida. We're giving
Speaker 1: you a recap of the most grown worthy stories in
Speaker 1: the state.
Speaker 3: It's this week in Florida.
Speaker 1: That's right. The weekend is here.
Speaker 7: That means the time to take a trip around the
Speaker 7: Sunshine State and see some of the craziness that has
Speaker 7: gone on in the past seven days or so.
Speaker 1: And this thing, I know, I know, it's.
Speaker 7: Becoming more popular, but you're not gonna find me really
Speaker 7: around one of these anytime soon.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 7: More people than ever, it seems, Sean are trading their
Speaker 7: cocktails for cardio, swimming, swamping, the dance floor for the pavement,
Speaker 7: and finding community at the run club.
Speaker 1: I like the good old days when we traded cardio
Speaker 1: for cocktail. Yeah time, Yeah, what happened in this country?
Speaker 7: According to Strava, participation in run clubs has surged fifty
Speaker 7: nine percent globally in recent years. Nowhere is that more
Speaker 7: obvious than in South Florida. Every week, the streets turn
Speaker 7: into a sea of sneakers, massive groups taking over the
Speaker 7: pavement for scenic runs.
Speaker 1: Across South Florida and stopping traffic. I don't know that
Speaker 1: they do stop a lot of traffic. Are we allowed
Speaker 1: to run them over in Florida? They stop you, but
Speaker 1: they said.
Speaker 7: Michelle Tran of Miami Run Club says, it's more like
Speaker 7: a run family where we check up on each other.
Speaker 1: Dozens of run clubs.
Speaker 7: That advertise across social media platforms and virtually every city
Speaker 7: in the area, gathering several times a week, running together.
Speaker 1: And yet alone. Which that's a weird way of putting that.
Speaker 7: Just some of the some of the ones you have
Speaker 7: to choose from in South Florida or Brickle Run Club.
Speaker 1: People, as everyone is alone forever and doomed to die.
Speaker 7: You have the Brickle Run Club, Miami Run Club, Lauderdale
Speaker 7: Run Club, Miami, Gay Run Club, Run Little Havana, Miramar,
Speaker 7: Broward Running Society, Go Run Miami, and Hollywood Run Club.
Speaker 7: That's a lot of people are doing this thing. Our
Speaker 7: friend is in one of these clubs and they don't
Speaker 7: trade the cocktails because I know that like much like
Speaker 7: that intramural kickball league. It's like they just do it
Speaker 7: and then they all get together and get wasted.
Speaker 1: But are not They are not hearing you correctly, Seland
Speaker 1: it's not rum clubs. Run run Yeah, you get together
Speaker 1: and then you move fast.
Speaker 2: I get a CrossFit vibe from the run clubs as
Speaker 2: of like.
Speaker 1: A little bit, yeah you're out, So what does that mean?
Speaker 1: Does that mean? It's like like a militaristic kind of thing, like.
Speaker 2: The all hang out, they push each other and like
Speaker 2: this is all we do and if we're going to
Speaker 2: have any gathering, everyone else is there and all we're
Speaker 2: going to talk about is running.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I was gonna say when she says she gets a
Speaker 7: CrossFit vibe, I'm thinking, like they talk about it a
Speaker 7: lot to talk about run club culty.
Speaker 1: It's much.
Speaker 7: It's very the opposite of front club. You know, you
Speaker 7: just talk about it all the time. Miami Run Club
Speaker 7: was a group that started as a small idea during
Speaker 7: the COVID pandemic pandemic, excuse me, And that's.
Speaker 2: Where we traded cocktails for more cocktails.
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure yeah, they got weaker when the bars
Speaker 7: opened back up. But anyway, an update on a story
Speaker 7: from last week, because I have the X ray. Now
Speaker 7: of the man who had a thermos you, oh, inside
Speaker 7: his bottom up the exit ramp, is how Grady Judd
Speaker 7: put it. The Florida man was caught out trying to
Speaker 7: smuggle a thermos flask. They called it into jail via
Speaker 7: his erectum.
Speaker 1: Are we talking about this big? I've got a water
Speaker 1: bottle here in the studio and it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: traditional larger water bottle. We're talking this size inside the
Speaker 1: exit ramp. Why don't you take a look for yourself
Speaker 1: there this is the.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Sean, it looks exactly like your water bottle.
Speaker 1: I hope it is it number one, number two? He
Speaker 1: got the whole water bottle in there. Yes, was it filled? Yeah?
Speaker 1: When he shakes around, you hear the ice cubes. Oh
Speaker 1: it's still hold up for four days. Crazy.
Speaker 7: At one point, Sheriff Grady Judd I think said he
Speaker 7: was trying to get drugs in there. But I think
Speaker 7: that they once they removed it, which that needed the
Speaker 7: help of a specialist at the hospital.
Speaker 1: I think they didn't find anything. Let's see.
Speaker 7: Fifty one year old Walter Freimeyer was arrested for allegedly
Speaker 7: trespassing on a railway shortly after it had been claimed
Speaker 7: he had been running naked or he'd been naked in
Speaker 7: a park bathroom. Officers probably didn't have much trouble catching
Speaker 7: up to him, since his running gate was likely disrupted
Speaker 7: by the thermos flask he'd inserted into the exit ramp
Speaker 7: as a form of concealment.
Speaker 2: Go back to the X ray and you can even
Speaker 2: see that he's surprised.
Speaker 1: It's as like halfway up his whole body. This guy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's yeah. It says also that whatever kind of X
Speaker 1: ray that is is cool. It's not your traditional X ray.
Speaker 1: It looks like you might be able to do like
Speaker 1: a hello, my abe, hello, like you could you could
Speaker 1: maybe get some animation.
Speaker 3: Out of that.
Speaker 7: I think it's because this is not a hospital x ray,
Speaker 7: it says. Officers claim they already found meth on the
Speaker 7: man when they brought him in, and when they gave
Speaker 7: him the body scan they saw that whoa walk through it.
Speaker 1: I guess one of those.
Speaker 7: He brought a thermost into jail. We said, dude, what
Speaker 7: are you doing here? He said, well, I put that
Speaker 7: inside my body. He didn't swallow it, clearly. Fortunately, the
Speaker 7: local hospital has a specialist in these sorts of cases.
Speaker 7: Who was able to remove the flask from mister Freimeier's
Speaker 7: rectum water bottle. Please, the fact that they have people
Speaker 7: who are specialists in this indicates a worrying tendency among
Speaker 7: people to stick objects where they don't belong.
Speaker 1: I'm putting this up on see it now for everybody
Speaker 1: so he could take a look.
Speaker 7: The sheriff joke removing the flask was quite the ordeal
Speaker 7: and may.
Speaker 2: The police auctions later on in the morning.
Speaker 7: The carsh like the what do you call it? The
Speaker 7: evidence locker?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Gross.
Speaker 7: So this man's been arrested previously twenty five times and
Speaker 7: has been to prison five times, so he's no stranger
Speaker 7: to the X ray there at the Polk County jail
Speaker 7: over in Marion County. There is somebody a neighbor who
Speaker 7: I wouldn't want. But this is this is an area
Speaker 7: where people have like a lot of land, and there's
Speaker 7: a fifteen acre parcel in Danellen that's surrounded by this
Speaker 7: person has put up they call it the Black Fortress.
Speaker 7: Fifteen hundred tires. Guys, she's stacking tires all.
Speaker 1: Around his property. It says.
Speaker 7: The person who told the story is a woman in
Speaker 7: her seventies.
Speaker 1: This is the neighbor. Her name's Rita.
Speaker 7: She lives on a thirty acre acre parcel of land,
Speaker 7: and she's far enough out in the country that her
Speaker 7: driveway is a mile long.
Speaker 1: Is that paved? You don't pave a mile long driveway,
Speaker 1: do you?
Speaker 2: That seems like a lot of pavement.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, probably it's probably just like old school, I
Speaker 1: would think.
Speaker 7: Next Door to her is the fifteen acre homesite whose
Speaker 7: owner has posted a sign calling it his black Fortress.
Speaker 7: The primary feature its walls made of stacks and stacks
Speaker 7: of black tires.
Speaker 1: Truck tires, tractor tires. You name it is tires. Is
Speaker 1: this a picture? Yeah? This is the one. Are the
Speaker 1: gates I think? Possibly terrible picture. Yeah. It says there's
Speaker 1: more than fifteen hundred tires, but they can't get in.
Speaker 1: So all the photos except for like maybe one or two,
Speaker 1: this is her by the tire wall.
Speaker 3: I guess it's my tires.
Speaker 1: It's very impressive, Rita Gomez, very impressive tire wall. So no,
Speaker 1: Rita Gomez is the neighbor that doesn't like the tires.
Speaker 1: She's by it. Yeah, she's just taking a picture. Boy,
Speaker 1: she's the one that's complaining about it.
Speaker 2: Oh, she's gonna want it when her tire goes flat.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, possibly, but I guess all I know about tires.
Speaker 7: It's the fortress like farm fences. Far from the worst
Speaker 7: way Floridians has disposed of old tires. According to the
Speaker 7: Florida Phoenix website, there is a car thief who did
Speaker 7: something nice. Did something nice after stealing a car because
Speaker 7: he stole a car with a one year old inside it.
Speaker 7: A nine one one call released Thursday revealed the moments
Speaker 7: after man briefly stole a car from a Brevard County
Speaker 7: gas station and then returned the vehicle when you realize
Speaker 7: as the child was inside, it happened that the sonoko
Speaker 7: off Us one and Coco.
Speaker 3: That's a fun little run.
Speaker 1: And yeah.
Speaker 7: The woman who owned the car told deputies she had
Speaker 7: stepped inside the store when she noticed her blue Toyota
Speaker 7: Camery driving away with her baby in the back seat.
Speaker 7: Now I'm not saying she's mother of the day material,
Speaker 7: but she's kind of adjacent.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: She left the car running, which is good I think
Speaker 7: for the child. Still illegal, but did not lock the door,
Speaker 7: as it seems. During nine one call The woman described
Speaker 7: how the man sped off, but then backed up and
Speaker 7: returned the car after spotting the child. He literally about
Speaker 7: left with my child when I ran into the gas station.
Speaker 1: He tried to steal my car.
Speaker 2: I mean it's nice that he brought the child back.
Speaker 2: Who still got charged with kidnapping?
Speaker 1: Yes he did.
Speaker 7: Deputies arrived shortly after the suspect, identified as fifty three
Speaker 7: year old William Mullis, was arrested. He faced the charges
Speaker 7: of grand theft of a motor vehicle and kidnapping confinement
Speaker 7: under thirteen.
Speaker 1: A judge denied his bond.
Speaker 7: A woman wanted in a Rolex staff case was busted
Speaker 7: by the cops after a police officer recognized her at
Speaker 7: club Space.
Speaker 1: H H familiar? You know club space?
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Is that where you broke your ass?
Speaker 2: No question mark. I don't remember.
Speaker 1: I don't remember which club that was.
Speaker 2: But I know club Space was like the cool you know,
Speaker 2: eighteen and up or all ages some nights. We had
Speaker 2: to get the big ax on you, and either way
Speaker 2: everyone's on drugs.
Speaker 7: Well, am Trinasia Jackson of Miami Gardens that is a
Speaker 7: new name, is facing multiple grand theft charges. On January
Speaker 7: seventh of last year, a man visiting Miami Beaches Fountain
Speaker 7: Blue Resort told police he met the West Virginia born
Speaker 7: Jackson at a hotel and decided to take their conversation
Speaker 7: to his room. Jackson became persistent about the two taking
Speaker 7: shots of tequila. This was the one where she got
Speaker 7: the guy drunk and then he blacked out and woke
Speaker 7: up in the bathtub with his Rolex Date just watch
Speaker 7: and Versace gold chain valued at fourteen three hundred dollars gone.
Speaker 7: Let's see and arrest was made in a drive by
Speaker 7: cheeseburger ing. A Gainesville woman was arrested on a felony
Speaker 7: battery charge. It says that she became physically aggressive towards
Speaker 7: her boyfriend. According to the rest report, she began to scratch, punch,
Speaker 7: and bite his genitals.
Speaker 1: No good, keep her locked up and.
Speaker 7: Last, but at least, a twenty year old woman was
Speaker 7: charged with throwing a hammer at officers in Okaloosa County.
Speaker 7: Look up the mugshot for Victoria Keebler. When you put
Speaker 7: it on, nobody's looked more annoyed to have been arrested
Speaker 7: than twenty year old Victoria Keebler, who was arrested after
Speaker 7: allegedly striking an officer with a hammer on Friday.
Speaker 1: He's serious, serious.
Speaker 7: She was charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery on
Speaker 7: an officer.
Speaker 1: That's it for this week in Florida. Thank you, Selan.
Speaker 1: I'll put her mugshot up on see it now during
Speaker 1: the break, and it's time for you to join us
Speaker 1: on the show. We'll get to some of the dispatches
Speaker 1: that have been piling up and see what you have
Speaker 1: to say about everything that's been going on on the
Speaker 1: show and something that is changing big time in the
Speaker 1: United States of America. When I saw this story, I
Speaker 1: was very surprised that we had seen an improvement on
Speaker 1: this very surprised. What was it? We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: And a man calls a woman a word.
Speaker 3: You're just not supposed to say.
Speaker 1: What happened after that is where she's getting weir Wait
Speaker 1: to see what happened here because that's coming up next
Speaker 1: on the News Junkie. The challenges on TikTok never seemed
Speaker 1: to go away, and in this case, it reminds me
Speaker 1: of a video I saw recently that would discourage everybody
Speaker 1: from ever trying this TikTok challenge. But just in case
Speaker 1: you haven't seen it. I'm not going to show it
Speaker 1: to those of you who are watching over on YouTube
Speaker 1: or twitch because it's bad. But there is a video
Speaker 1: of this guy. And you know what do they say,
Speaker 1: like the devil one that day or you know your
Speaker 1: intrusive thoughts, you know one won you over? This guy?
Speaker 1: He looks to be in like Russia somewhere, and he's
Speaker 1: meandering his way into this rather small elevator. You've been
Speaker 1: in one like this before. I'm sure we're basically maybe
Speaker 1: two to three people can fit in the elevator.
Speaker 3: It's a small elevator.
Speaker 1: And this selection I like it already. This Russian dude
Speaker 1: wanders in and he's got a drink in his hand,
Speaker 1: which is just like a glass of vodka, and he's
Speaker 1: just sitting there on the elevator. And then he looks
Speaker 1: at his right hand and he has a lighter, and
Speaker 1: he looks at the glass of vodka that he has
Speaker 1: in his left hand, and his intrusive thoughts win and
Speaker 1: he just tries to like light the vodka. Uh, and
Speaker 1: then he's successful.
Speaker 12: The vodka lights a fifty proof and.
Speaker 1: Then as or whatever is in this I'm just saying
Speaker 1: vodka because he's rushing, and in the elevator, he's sitting
Speaker 1: there and this fire starts to get bigger, and then
Speaker 1: he of course drops the alcoholic beverage and it smashes
Speaker 1: on the ground, and how fire explodes from that, and
Speaker 1: he's in this tiny elevator and he's trapped and he
Speaker 1: can't go anywhere because the elevator door is not opening,
Speaker 1: and then it ends with him just like falling over
Speaker 1: and his outfit caught on fire and the guy got
Speaker 1: burns over like ninety percent of his body. That's why
Speaker 1: these things are stupid.
Speaker 3: That's one reason. There's a lot of them. Why these
Speaker 3: things are stupid.
Speaker 1: But I guess at least six dumb people or maybe
Speaker 1: five or so have tried something don't let your kids
Speaker 1: do it called the jam jar pulse jet trend. And
Speaker 1: this involves pouring rubbing alcohol in a jar, putting a
Speaker 1: lid with a hole on top, and lighting the alcohol
Speaker 1: on fire.
Speaker 3: This is bad, This is stupid.
Speaker 1: This You shouldn't need the fire department to tell you this,
Speaker 1: but this can cause significant harm. And just this week,
Speaker 1: a fourteen year old boy in Saint Pete landed in
Speaker 1: the hospital with burns to his legs because he set
Speaker 1: himself on fire screwing around doing this stuff. It's just really,
Speaker 1: really stupid, and it's it's so funny to because I
Speaker 1: think back to when I was a teenager and my
Speaker 1: parents and every other parent were so worried about Beavis
Speaker 1: and butt Heead. They were so worried if fire. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, beaves and butthead they're saying fire and
Speaker 1: it's going to cause all these kids to let kill somebody.
Speaker 1: And you didn't need that.
Speaker 3: You don't need anything like that.
Speaker 7: I actually watched an episode, or at the beginning of
Speaker 7: an episode of Beavis and butt Heead the other night,
Speaker 7: right before I went to bed.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to light something on fire off at.
Speaker 7: Some point where they they Beavis's ear off with a
Speaker 7: rocket motor.
Speaker 1: It should be quite obvious to you, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: it is obvious to most younger people. Don't do this.
Speaker 3: It's a very very bad idea.
Speaker 1: Fun John, They really wanted to have fun, and that
Speaker 1: guy those intrusive thoughts really truly did win. He was
Speaker 1: thinking about not doing it, but then that he did,
Speaker 1: and it's it's not great. Jeremy says, that's like two
Speaker 1: steps away from making a Molotov cocktail, right, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. You you do not.
Speaker 3: Want to do that.
Speaker 1: Let's peek into the Oval office. I guess at the
Speaker 1: White House they said that Trump had a visitor and
Speaker 1: it's and Dramalli and Drama Delli, Yeah, the famed singer.
Speaker 1: And I guess he was singing in the Oval office.
Speaker 1: Let's see see if this was any good or if
Speaker 1: he bombed in there. Listen to this because he's like
Speaker 1: struggling through.
Speaker 2: It because the music is blasting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, was he warned? Or did Trump just go put
Speaker 1: out of the song? Haven't you out of the song?
Speaker 1: This is my favorite song? Did he come in and
Speaker 1: just think he was gonna shake hands and have a
Speaker 1: good time? And then Andrea's like, you're the Lly is.
Speaker 2: A very talented, one of the most world renowned singers.
Speaker 1: But he has.
Speaker 2: Formula to it, like his routine. Because he is blind,
Speaker 2: he does to use all the things. And I can
Speaker 2: already tell I feel like the rugg got ripped on
Speaker 2: from under.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: He's holding onto the side of the desk and he's
Speaker 1: trying to sing, and it feels like he's kind of uncomfortable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was aware of this beforehand.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, what fine, I'll sing Sean Patrick's
Speaker 1: they says, sing bitch. It's the office version of sing bitch.
Speaker 1: You just start playing the music like, oh, yeah, you
Speaker 1: go this.
Speaker 2: You're the guest, is not the instrumental, by the way,
Speaker 2: You're just going to sing louder than the person.
Speaker 1: And who the hell was talking while he was singing.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Very rude was in the White House.
Speaker 1: This was right before Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. As everybody,
Speaker 1: each person you go in, you sing a little and
Speaker 1: then on we go. So God bless everybody real quick.
Speaker 1: I saw this, and I was very, very surprised. They
Speaker 1: said in a store from Pew Pew Research, they're suggesting
Speaker 1: that the divorce rate is falling pretty drastically in the
Speaker 1: United States of America.
Speaker 2: Oh, holidays are coming up, Sean.
Speaker 1: Well, not like based on on that, but based on
Speaker 1: just overall, how many people are getting divorced anymore, and
Speaker 1: the numbers are plummeting, this said. One of the reasons
Speaker 1: why is because people are waiting a lot longer to
Speaker 1: get married in twenty twenty five the year.
Speaker 2: And that refinably normal, right says it in there too.
Speaker 1: The refined divorce rate in nineteen eighty was twenty two
Speaker 1: point six divorces per one thousand married women. That fell
Speaker 1: a little bit in two thousand and eight. Now it's
Speaker 1: all the way down to like fourteen point four per
Speaker 1: one thousand people's that's a pretty big decline in the
Speaker 1: divorce rate over the last twenty five years or so.
Speaker 1: So for those of you who have been thinking about it,
Speaker 1: take the plunger. You're gonna be good to go. You're
Speaker 1: not going to get divorced, all is well? All right,
Speaker 1: last thing real quick before we take a break. I
Speaker 1: wanted to tell you about the story I teased where
Speaker 1: a man decided to call a woman a word, and
Speaker 1: of all the words, allegedly, this is the worst to
Speaker 1: call a woman. And he said, you are an F
Speaker 1: word sword to this woman, and he then pulled out
Speaker 1: a gun and shot her afterwards, Oh, as one does.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't very good for him in the long run,
Speaker 1: because her husband was there and he didn't like not
Speaker 1: only the sea word being thrown around at his wife,
Speaker 1: the shooting. Yeah, he was not thrilled with that, leading
Speaker 1: to the shooter getting a couple of shots, a couple
Speaker 1: of punches. I'll put this up on See It now
Speaker 1: so you could see what the husband did to this guy.
Speaker 1: But he started punching and I guess didn't stop, just
Speaker 1: kept going. This will be up on See It Now
Speaker 1: in just a moment here and we'll see what you.
Speaker 3: Think about it.
Speaker 1: Go to thenews junkieat dot com for more. When we return,
Speaker 1: we'll do jury duty. I don't know if our friend
Speaker 1: bo we'll be stopping. Well, we'll see if he's going
Speaker 1: to swing through. I don't think he texted me yeah, possibly,
Speaker 1: we don't know. We don't.
Speaker 3: We'll see last minute decision on his part.
Speaker 1: And then we got a lot more to get in
Speaker 1: in the final hour of the show as we get
Speaker 1: ready to wrap up the week.
Speaker 3: That is all coming up next in the news Chunkie.
Speaker 1: You can join us with the dispatch at thenewschunky dot com.
Speaker 1: Go record yours now, let's see what we got here.
Speaker 1: We're all stacked up and ready to go, but let's
Speaker 1: work in maybe one of your dispatches before we get
Speaker 1: into jury duty. Here's somebody saying that we should go
Speaker 1: see Swan Lake. All right, thank you for the suggestion.
Speaker 1: Here's somebody saying something about the divorce stats. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: because the divorce rate has been plummeting out of nowhere,
Speaker 1: Like it was really really rising through the nineties in
Speaker 1: the two thousands, but I guess it's been coming down.
Speaker 1: Here's chaos on this. Let's see. Oh hang on, we
Speaker 1: might have to skip chaos for now, not because I
Speaker 1: don't know what's up there. We go happy to good you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, both settle down, buddy.
Speaker 11: All right, So, Sean, you were talking about the divorce thing.
Speaker 11: So there is the fact that most people, most younger
Speaker 11: people aren't getting divorced because of all the redor they
Speaker 11: see online like either women are going to take all
Speaker 11: your money and they're going to take everything for you,
Speaker 11: or when it comes to women, your husband's just gonna
Speaker 11: cheat on you, leave you, blah blah blah blah for
Speaker 11: younger woman. That's that's that's what you see most commonly online.
Speaker 11: But it's also that there's a couple of states like
Speaker 11: Kentucky just did this, I think in twenty eighteen twenty nineteen.
Speaker 11: They made it so that the standard for divorce when
Speaker 11: it comes to fifty to fifty when it comes to children,
Speaker 11: is that it was standard that when you divorce, it's fifty.
Speaker 1: To fifty.
Speaker 11: For your finance rights over the children, so there's no
Speaker 11: actual child support in the case.
Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you were saying. Oh so if
Speaker 1: in some states, if you get a divorce, the financial
Speaker 1: responsibility for the children is a fifty to fifty split,
Speaker 1: which seems like, you know, an updated version of kind
Speaker 1: of a more old fashioned way to look at this,
Speaker 1: where you would say that the men should be solely
Speaker 1: financially responsible for the kids, when in that case you
Speaker 1: wouldn't have as many women.
Speaker 3: In the workplace.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's probably a lot of things,
Speaker 1: but I think one of the biggest things is probably
Speaker 1: people waiting a little bit longer. From what I can
Speaker 1: see throughout my life and the things that I've witnessed,
Speaker 1: everybody has a point where they break bad a little bit,
Speaker 1: all right. And you probably have known some friends who
Speaker 1: were like, oh, we met in high school and we
Speaker 1: started and we've been with each other ever since, and
Speaker 1: they've never been with anybody else. They've only been with
Speaker 1: each other in a relationship. I find that weird sometimes
Speaker 1: that can work. You know, it could be like this
Speaker 1: this great thing. It can work. But a lot of
Speaker 1: times people have that drive to kind of sow their
Speaker 1: wild oats at some point in time. It's the same
Speaker 1: for like, whenever I hear somebody say they have a kid,
Speaker 1: and their kid through their teenage years was perfect, like
Speaker 1: he never caused any issues, never got in trouble, and
Speaker 1: was always getting good grades. I say, wait, because everybody
Speaker 1: does it at Sometimes if you have like a perfect kid,
Speaker 1: they'll have a point in their twenties or something where
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they start making all the same
Speaker 1: bad decisions getting buck in here.
Speaker 3: It happens.
Speaker 1: It just it seems like something that people need to
Speaker 1: go through before they're ready to kind of settle down
Speaker 1: and chill out.
Speaker 2: So what do you think your wild wild times were?
Speaker 2: If you were to give an eight strange.
Speaker 1: Eighteen to twenty three, twenty four, you know, right there,
Speaker 1: like just into adulthood making a bunch of dumb decisions,
Speaker 1: doing a bunch of dumb stuff. And the people that
Speaker 1: I saw around that time that didn't do that, they
Speaker 1: did it later. They did the same thing. They just
Speaker 1: did it late. Its like inevitable. Somehow, I don't know why,
Speaker 1: but that's the way it goes. And I think if
Speaker 1: you wait longer to get married, like let's say you
Speaker 1: get married in your thirties instead of in your late teens,
Speaker 1: I think you've had enough time to get that stuff
Speaker 1: out of your system and maybe that works better. I
Speaker 1: could be wrong, but I just think waiting a little
Speaker 1: longer sometimes is a way to get rid of some
Speaker 1: of the relationships that wouldn't last as long. Okay, here
Speaker 1: we go, friends, it's time for it. Let me bring
Speaker 1: it up because we got to do jury duty before.
Speaker 3: It is now in session.
Speaker 8: To put your phone down and pay attention before we
Speaker 8: call the bailiff over to whip your ass.
Speaker 1: You're knowing jury.
Speaker 3: Duty with the news junkie.
Speaker 1: See some of these folks say, twenty four to twenty
Speaker 1: eight was my dumb time I almost got married back then.
Speaker 1: Everybody does it, whether you did it when you were
Speaker 1: like your teenage years or maybe sometimes earlier. Sometimes people
Speaker 1: go hogwild when they're like fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old.
Speaker 7: It was like eighteen to the meeting Ashley, and then
Speaker 7: a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Found someone who's down to get wild with you, which
Speaker 2: is very sweet. I you know, I am at the
Speaker 2: age right now where I am saying the rounds of
Speaker 2: divorce in second marriages and engagements breaking off or second
Speaker 2: kid is now getting into high school where I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, do I get it all out now,
Speaker 2: or it's time for me to have a baby settled down.
Speaker 1: Everybody has a moment where they think about these things,
Speaker 1: and you make a poll.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to make a decision based off that
Speaker 2: and what the listeners.
Speaker 1: Say, whether or not you should have a child of all.
Speaker 1: I don't think you should pull that out. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go a pull. I wouldn't asked the audience on
Speaker 1: that one. You know, another thing that I think probably
Speaker 1: leads to this is a guess. I am just guessing here.
Speaker 1: Another thing I think that leads to less divorces in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. It might just be me, but it
Speaker 1: seems like dating is pretty miserable.
Speaker 7: Since it seems like I during this show have gotten
Speaker 7: screenshots from people like uh, going on the apps apps
Speaker 7: and they're just like, what is this?
Speaker 1: What is this guy? Yeah? Good nightmare? It feels like
Speaker 1: dating might be more of a nightmare at twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five sego is it great?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: But is it better than whatever that is? I'll stick
Speaker 1: with what I got going on, Stay in the relationship.
Speaker 1: Jerry Dudy, brought to you by the one the only
Speaker 1: motivate of the Wit Law Firm. Injured on the go,
Speaker 1: just call Mo eight hundred Calmo eight hundred, call Mo
Speaker 1: and you can go to the website. Just Callmo dot com.
Speaker 1: After an accident. There's lots of attorneys out there that
Speaker 1: want to get your attention. Why because they think you
Speaker 1: got a good case maybe, and they want your money.
Speaker 1: But what you should really do is focus on getting
Speaker 1: an attorney who's going to listen to you and fight
Speaker 1: for you and your family and your future. And that's
Speaker 1: what is going to happen with just Calmo. So eight hundred,
Speaker 1: just Calmo or eight hundred Callmo. Excuse me, eight hundred
Speaker 1: Callmo Orescalmo dot com. Let's see what we got in
Speaker 1: jury duty today. This is a rough one.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 1: There's an investigation underway after a Massachusetts school staff member
Speaker 1: died after a fourteen year old student kicked her in
Speaker 1: the chest. She says she was trying to stop the
Speaker 1: student from leaving the school building without permission. The fifty
Speaker 1: three year old woman, Amy Morell, was assaulted by a
Speaker 1: teenage girl. And here's the weird thing. It said that
Speaker 1: this happened Wednesday of this week around six fifty five pm,
Speaker 1: so that's obviously after school hours. And it says inside
Speaker 1: the dorms of meadow Ridge Academy. Can we look that
Speaker 1: up and see what they have going on because this
Speaker 1: just says it's a residential therapeutic school for young adults.
Speaker 1: So like meadow Ridge, it's called meadow Ridge all one
Speaker 1: word academy.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: And this is in I guess Massachusetts, but it seems
Speaker 1: to me that this is like one of those schools
Speaker 1: for bad kids. Boarding school, Yeah, like a boarding school.
Speaker 1: And the woman tried to stop the girl, the fourteen
Speaker 1: year old, from leaving, and she kicked her in the chest.
Speaker 1: She collapsed to the ground and die.
Speaker 2: So she kicked her right in between heartbeats or something
Speaker 2: like that. That week could be phenomenon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just she was. She was kicked in the
Speaker 1: chest and it says that she did collapse and fell
Speaker 1: to the ground, so it could be one of those
Speaker 1: freak things where you end up hitting them and now
Speaker 1: this girl is going to face murder charges or you know,
Speaker 1: face some charges for the death of this This.
Speaker 2: Woman's appropriate time to say that this school has donkeys
Speaker 2: that you can uh the donkeys.
Speaker 1: I don't know how effective they are generally speaking, but
Speaker 1: did not did not help you.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that led to the kicking.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But does it look like a nice facility?
Speaker 1: It does. Oh here boarding school.
Speaker 7: I think of like a nineties movie where the new
Speaker 7: step mom just wants to send the.
Speaker 1: Kids off so to have that all to herself. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of that that used to happen in the nineties. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it happens quite as much, but
Speaker 1: if you had the experience, let us know.
Speaker 3: While I go over to this.
Speaker 1: A judge in Chicago, and I think this is a good,
Speaker 1: good idea. I think this should have been happening anyways,
Speaker 1: but I think this is a good idea all the
Speaker 1: way around. Good idea. That's good idea or better idea.
Speaker 1: A judge this week said she will require ice officers
Speaker 1: in Chicago to wear body cameras. She also someone a
Speaker 1: senior before no, I guess not. She's someone a senior
Speaker 1: official to court next week. To discuss the enforcement operations
Speaker 1: happening there. The judge said she was a little startled
Speaker 1: seeing some of the images of street confrontations, and she said,
Speaker 1: we need the folks that.
Speaker 3: Have body cams.
Speaker 1: I think the body cameras are better for everybody. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's better for the officers, and it's better for the
Speaker 1: people who are involved.
Speaker 7: And I don't want to hear a peep about the
Speaker 7: cost of body cameras When we've heard a bunch of
Speaker 7: stories about the signing bonus and the starting salary that
Speaker 7: some of these ice recruits are getting.
Speaker 1: They're not even that much. The body cams and now
Speaker 1: body cams are like built into law enforcement, so they're
Speaker 1: going to know exactly where to get them from, exactly
Speaker 1: how to utilize them in the process, everybody who is
Speaker 1: involved in law enforcement having body cameras. It is better
Speaker 1: for the law enforcement officer, it is better for the
Speaker 1: person that you're engaging with. It's better for us as
Speaker 1: a public because we are Our world right now is
Speaker 1: not one where it's like he said. She said, it's
Speaker 1: like he said, and I agree with him, or she said,
Speaker 1: and I agree with her. And people are just looking
Speaker 1: for whatever they think matches up with their own politics
Speaker 1: of the day. In so many situations they cannot see
Speaker 1: past this, many of them. There is a massive brainwashing
Speaker 1: underway for a big portion of of our overall populace
Speaker 1: that gets into this political stuff. And having the camera footage,
Speaker 1: even though we have AI issues, I think certainly makes
Speaker 1: people feel a bit more comfortable. So I think this
Speaker 1: is good and I think that they should do this absolutely.
Speaker 1: And finally, in jury duty today, a truck driver has
Speaker 1: been indicted. They decided to have a bit of a
Speaker 1: wild time that led to what they considered twenty seven
Speaker 1: miles of.
Speaker 3: Terror on the road.
Speaker 1: This person, McAdams was his name, decided to gupe down
Speaker 1: an entire water bottle of tequila and take as much
Speaker 1: credom as he could before he crashed into eight different people.
Speaker 2: His heart rate two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1: They didn't shack, I don't think, but they said it
Speaker 1: led to twenty seven miles of terror. As he white
Speaker 1: knuckled crashed his way down the road, he made a koda.
Speaker 1: I guess, so holy cow, wow, But there you go.
Speaker 1: That was jury duty. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Let's see here on the way out. So we should
Speaker 1: do that at the Rose about somebody wants to talk
Speaker 1: the crating part of the tequila part, or both both
Speaker 1: of them. Okay, fair enough, here's the lovely Lolita talking
Speaker 1: about the divorce raid.
Speaker 16: No no, no, no, you got this all wrong. The
Speaker 16: reason that the divorce rate is so low is because
Speaker 16: nobody's getting married anymore. The marriage rate is also very low.
Speaker 16: People these days, like Courney I, have chosen to live
Speaker 16: together rather than get married. It's not about waiting until
Speaker 16: you're older. It's just about not getting married at all.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. Can you run the
Speaker 1: numbers and see if less people are getting married every
Speaker 1: year in twenty twenty five, Well you probably have to
Speaker 1: pull twenty twenty four years. But are less people getting
Speaker 1: married every year? And then that's leading to the lower
Speaker 1: divorce numbers? Good? See marriage.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Go ahead.
Speaker 7: Marriage rates in the US have declined significantly since the
Speaker 7: nineteen seventies, dropping by about fifty four percent since nineteen hundred.
Speaker 7: Average age for while RACH dipped during the COVID nineteen pandemic.
Speaker 7: Recent data shows a slight rebound in twenty twenty two
Speaker 7: to twenty eighteen levels after hitting a twenty twenty one.
Speaker 7: Low Factors contributing to the decline include delayed marriage for
Speaker 7: professional and personal goals, arise in cohabitation, which is exactly
Speaker 7: what the Lovely low Lita was referring to, and cultural shifts.
Speaker 3: Cultural shifts too interesting.
Speaker 7: I have some friends actually who were on that on
Speaker 7: that kind of you know plan where they didn't have
Speaker 7: any desire to get married, and then it wasn't till
Speaker 7: like the death of a friend and that person's like
Speaker 7: a state being in jeopardy, and families are pointing fingers
Speaker 7: and who has rights to this? And the longtime girlfriend
Speaker 7: the partner was trying, they were trying to edger out
Speaker 7: of it and stuff, and they're like, I think we
Speaker 7: need to put this on paper so if God forbid
Speaker 7: something happens to one of us, you know, the other
Speaker 7: doesn't get crude.
Speaker 1: I will. Yeah. I mean, I think it kind of
Speaker 1: just became the thing where people said, hey, we've now
Speaker 1: been dating for this long and now we do the
Speaker 1: next thing right, and on to the next thing, and
Speaker 1: and uh, there's probably just like a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: reasons why this happened, one of them being what Lovely
Speaker 1: Lolita pointed out. Another one being people probably waiting longer,
Speaker 1: and that waiting longer made it so there's less people
Speaker 1: who end up getting divorced. It's just a lot of things.
Speaker 1: And the only thing I'll say is actually up front,
Speaker 1: I don't care what the divorce rate is at all. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't care what the divorce rate is at all,
Speaker 1: generally speaking, I care what the divorce rate is for
Speaker 1: people with children. That's the thing I care about. I
Speaker 1: don't care if you get in a relationship with somebody
Speaker 1: you don't have any kids, and you guys divorce each other,
Speaker 1: do it. But when you have a bunch of kids
Speaker 1: and then you get divorced, it's that's something that's more
Speaker 1: of a problem, I think, just decidedly speaking. So I
Speaker 1: don't know what exactly is doing this. It seems like
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but it's good. It's good that
Speaker 1: the divorce rate is falling. I don't think there's anything
Speaker 1: bad about that in the slightest. Okay, we're going to
Speaker 1: take a quick break and when we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: get fired up into a bunch of these responses you've had.
Speaker 1: Oh I did see another thing. There's more and more
Speaker 1: stories about this damn flag story. It's really grabbing people's attention,
Speaker 1: the swastika flag thing. And one of them suggested that
Speaker 1: the person who was in the zoom call and saw
Speaker 1: the flag behind them and noticed, oh my god, on
Speaker 1: the zoom call, that flag behind me looks like a swastika.
Speaker 1: That person took a screenshot of what it looked like
Speaker 1: and they sent it to their friend, and their friend
Speaker 1: sent it to Politico, and then Politico posted it, which
Speaker 1: is what started this story to begin with and started
Speaker 1: the entire thing that happened.
Speaker 3: On from them.
Speaker 1: So and they confirmed that several Republican offices had received
Speaker 1: these flags bearing what they call obscured swastika symbols. Representative
Speaker 1: Dave Taylor said, and he's an Ohio Republican. He said
Speaker 1: it was an orchestrated campaign. They said they were targeted
Speaker 1: by an unidentified group or individual who distributed American flags.
Speaker 1: The only other version of this that I could see,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have this here, here's somebody
Speaker 1: talking about it at a press conference, let's see if
Speaker 1: they mentioned about it. But the only other version of
Speaker 1: the flag I could find, they had like marked on
Speaker 1: the flag with a marker, which it may like completely
Speaker 1: ruins it. I want to see just what it looks
Speaker 1: like when you move the flag around, or if you
Speaker 1: could see different versions of it so it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like it has a swastik on it.
Speaker 3: But here's the Speaker of the House talking.
Speaker 17: About it's my understanding with regard to the swastika thing.
Speaker 3: This happened last night.
Speaker 17: A Republican congressman allegedly one of his staffers had something
Speaker 17: in the background or something in a zoom.
Speaker 3: That's what I heard this morning.
Speaker 17: He says that that's not his and there's a proper
Speaker 17: investigation on going, and the congressman did exactly what he
Speaker 17: should have done, and that is reported is under investigation,
Speaker 17: and I can't comment any further until that's done, but
Speaker 17: I will say obviously that is not the principles of
Speaker 17: the Republican Party. We stand for the founding principles. As
Speaker 17: a memor Republican articulate them for you right now. Individual freedom,
Speaker 17: limited government, the rule of law, peace through strength, fiscal responsibility,
Speaker 17: free markets, human dignity, that the things that lead to
Speaker 17: human flourishing.
Speaker 3: We have stood against that.
Speaker 17: We thought the Nazis, we defended that evil ideology. We
Speaker 17: roundly condemn it and anybody in any party who espoused it.
Speaker 1: That's that's Mike Johnson, this Speaker of the House talking
Speaker 1: about the whole flag kerfuffle that is getting attention out there.
Speaker 3: Still.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll we'll take a break and then we'll see
Speaker 1: what you have on your mind as we get into
Speaker 1: the final hour of the show, the Power Hour on
Speaker 1: a Friday, Baby, because we head into the weekend full force.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. That's coming up next on the news
Speaker 1: Junkie m.
Speaker 2: Healing. That's a quick flip man, very quick flip.
Speaker 3: What's a quick flip?
Speaker 1: Quick flip? What are you talking about? Uh?
Speaker 3: How are you right at that fast?
Speaker 1: How do you get messages up that fast on the
Speaker 1: on the.
Speaker 3: Screen tool thing?
Speaker 1: Flip?
Speaker 2: Quick flip?
Speaker 1: You type that? So if there's ever a major pro
Speaker 1: we could just solely communicate via this this screen in
Speaker 1: your studio.
Speaker 2: I guess I wish that the streamers would have seen
Speaker 2: me and client at the same time when we saw
Speaker 2: and heard your mic was hot a deer in headlights up.
Speaker 1: I hit the rejoiner and I said, well, let's be
Speaker 1: proper and clear out my vocal cords, and I said
Speaker 1: name and then I said, interesting, I can really hear
Speaker 1: the acoustics in this room these This is fantastic. I
Speaker 1: really really went the extra mile here. But no, it
Speaker 1: turns out that that was not the case. All Right,
Speaker 1: we are going to hear from you. We got your
Speaker 1: dispatches pulling in today and send those over on the
Speaker 1: news junkie dot com. We'll be watching these protests, the
Speaker 1: No Kings protests this weekend to see how those go.
Speaker 1: They're supposed to have really big crowds. Is like twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred planned around the country. And it's weird because
Speaker 1: it's like it's the same people. They just kind of
Speaker 1: rename everything. It's just it's all the same people going
Speaker 1: to these things. It's just this one is like the
Speaker 1: No King which is not that it's not the first
Speaker 1: of this kind. There there was other ones before. But
Speaker 1: what I mean to say is it's just an anti
Speaker 1: Trump protest by another name. They these protests just keep
Speaker 1: kind of maneuvering about whatever they're focused on. For a while,
Speaker 1: they had a hyper focus at these protests on Elon
Speaker 1: Musk that.
Speaker 3: Seems to have died away.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. I don't hear a lot.
Speaker 2: Of that I hear from him at all.
Speaker 1: He's busy space and Starlinker. I mean, he's still doing
Speaker 1: all the Twitter stuff and he's still fairly political on Twitter,
Speaker 1: but he's not in.
Speaker 3: He's not in the spotlight like he was at that time.
Speaker 7: He only was able to do the dose thing for
Speaker 7: like one hundred days, right, Yeah, there was a.
Speaker 1: Limited amount on that that type of employee that he
Speaker 1: was apparently, but they were focused on Elon for a
Speaker 1: while and then then it's just like a general focus
Speaker 1: against Trump. And that's what's going on this weekend for
Speaker 1: one of these No Kings protests or or a bunch
Speaker 1: of them that are happening on the eighteenth, most of them.
Speaker 1: And we'll see if this is a record protest, because
Speaker 1: I know the organizers were kind of pushing for this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. We'll see if it gets violent, We'll
Speaker 1: see if everything is peaceful. There's only one way to
Speaker 1: find out. You got to watch and see what happens
Speaker 1: this weekend. So a lot of people will be gathering
Speaker 1: for that. I'll keep an eye on it, for sure.
Speaker 1: I wanted to work in one more thing before we
Speaker 1: get to this. There's so many stories I don't know
Speaker 1: why they keep giving all these updates Sea line seven.
Speaker 1: This first happened. He was like, why is this a story?
Speaker 1: But that doctor in winter Park, Florida who had the
Speaker 1: house party with all the kids who were hammered drunk. Yes,
Speaker 1: they keep leaking more and more information out about that.
Speaker 2: From just inside of her room after leaving out snacks.
Speaker 2: What the hell happened?
Speaker 1: They're saying that perhaps she was doing more of the
Speaker 1: hosting of this party than she's willing to admit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my parents would never ever ever do this. They would
Speaker 1: not host a party for me or even ignore one.
Speaker 1: The best I had was my sister one time saw
Speaker 1: that I was having a big party at the house,
Speaker 1: and she said, I'm going to stay in mom and
Speaker 1: Dad's room and make sure nobody does anything.
Speaker 2: And she I would have told my younger siblings immediately.
Speaker 1: She didn't know I was older at that I was
Speaker 1: probably nineteen or twenty at the time, so I was
Speaker 1: a little bit so vigilious. Was at this party? No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: he was. Maybe I was seventeen. I may have been seventeen.
Speaker 1: It's hard to remember that time.
Speaker 2: I've had a house parties at my parents' house and
Speaker 2: there have been some bangers.
Speaker 1: And I will tell you what.
Speaker 2: It helps out that other adults are there.
Speaker 1: So had adults said they were like at a like
Speaker 1: keg size party.
Speaker 2: I mean not keg, but maybe seven eighteen packs of beer.
Speaker 2: But that's because the parents all wanted to drink themselves. Yeah, wink, nudge, nudge.
Speaker 2: But you have the parents of your friends come over
Speaker 2: and they're all friends with each other, and you kind
Speaker 2: of just separate and as long as you're doing it
Speaker 2: under this roof, everything turned out just fine.
Speaker 1: Here's where here's my take on this changes. I think
Speaker 1: if you're and I don't know if this is exactly
Speaker 1: what you were talking about, you can tell me afterwards, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: I think, let me describe two different things a situation. One,
Speaker 1: if you have a bunch of parents who are partying
Speaker 1: and there's a couple of kids, you know, like the
Speaker 1: kids of these parents, and the parents are having a
Speaker 1: party and the kids, maybe you could have one white
Speaker 1: claw just so you know what this is like, we're
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on you. That's one thing when the
Speaker 1: parents are the majority, But when there's one parent and
Speaker 1: all kids and it's just a kid's party while a
Speaker 1: parent is there. That one I think is bad. I
Speaker 1: think that is that is different and bad to me
Speaker 1: at that point.
Speaker 2: I have been to that party and mom, I mean
Speaker 2: it was easily three hundred people in this person's house
Speaker 2: and we had a great time. But show up and
Speaker 2: mom was in the room just like you know, staying
Speaker 2: in there, could hear all the bumping music. Everyone ran,
Speaker 2: but she ended up getting arrested.
Speaker 1: Did he get this bad? Because at this woman, this
Speaker 1: doctor in Winnipark, Florida, how tran is her name? They
Speaker 1: got multiple nine one one calls about underage individuals falling
Speaker 1: down drunk. A fifteen year old girl was found vomiting
Speaker 1: and barely coherent.
Speaker 2: Okay, they ca middled their liquor.
Speaker 1: This one's another level. The doctor, Alader's son's friend from
Speaker 1: a school nearby, host a party at her home. They
Speaker 1: claimed uninvited guests brought the alcohol, and she stayed in
Speaker 1: her bedroom until alerted about the past.
Speaker 3: How teenager.
Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder if they're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: get her on that, Like if she said, look, I
Speaker 1: knew my kids were having a party, I didn't know
Speaker 1: they were drinking. I was fine with them doing it,
Speaker 1: so I stayed in my room. When I noticed that
Speaker 1: they were drinking alcohol and that somebody had snuck in alcohol,
Speaker 1: I was very upset and I told them to shut
Speaker 1: it down immediately. Yeah. I also want to ask a
Speaker 1: loophole that.
Speaker 2: This is I am not encouraging, don't underage drink blah
Speaker 2: blah blah, preface, preface encouraging. I'm not encouraging anything. I'm
Speaker 2: just based on experience and stuff I've read on the internet. Yeah,
Speaker 2: everyone stays in the backyard or in the house.
Speaker 1: Don't have if you're having.
Speaker 2: People pass on the front that calls for cops. Cops
Speaker 2: have the right at that point, but maybe a mo
Speaker 2: question anything behind that front door. You would have to
Speaker 2: the adult would have to say, you can search my house?
Speaker 1: Right? What if you said probably right? I think if I.
Speaker 2: Were you get a noise complaint, they can't enter the premises.
Speaker 7: If I were the police officer, I would they say,
Speaker 7: like a cop, they can enter if they see alcohol, like,
Speaker 7: because that's how they got into my house. I could
Speaker 7: have not let them in had there not been visible alcohol,
Speaker 7: like they can see through the window or something. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I think that if the if the mom were trying
Speaker 7: to make that argument that like, I didn't know these
Speaker 7: kids had alcohol, I you know, and once I found out,
Speaker 7: I you know, I said they had to leave. They
Speaker 7: snuck it in, they weren't invited, whatever. I think that
Speaker 7: the cop would go, well, in that case, I'm going
Speaker 7: to arrest your child for being in possession of alcohol
Speaker 7: and then try to go, you know, pressure the mom
Speaker 7: into into admitting she knew about the party.
Speaker 2: Why don't we arrest anybody? Everyone just scatters with the
Speaker 2: cops show up.
Speaker 1: That's that's why it works in the movies and the movies,
Speaker 1: the cops show up and you go, you know, it's
Speaker 1: like yackety sacks. Everybody runs different my house. Let us
Speaker 1: know what you think. Is that fine parenting or is
Speaker 1: that a crime that's going down? Send us a dispatch
Speaker 1: at thenewschunkie dot com. Fine rhyme. Everything's a song.
Speaker 2: It's basically rhymes.
Speaker 3: It's so close, it's right there.
Speaker 1: You know. One thing I did see that I'll mention
Speaker 1: real quick before we take a break and come back
Speaker 1: and hit a bunch of dispatches before the end of
Speaker 1: the week. Here, remember that story. Everybody was so mad
Speaker 1: about this. I was mad about this. Remember the person
Speaker 1: who tied their dog to the fence during the hurricanes.
Speaker 7: Yes, they passed a whole law named after that dog.
Speaker 1: They did. They did, It's called Troopers Law. But they
Speaker 1: dropped the charges against that guy. That's what the news was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they dropped the charges. And why maybe now that they
Speaker 1: passed that Troopers Law that Celan was mentioning, maybe now
Speaker 1: it would be illegal. But you can't mass some looney
Speaker 1: like somebody can't commit a crime and then you pass
Speaker 1: a law and then the person who committed the crime
Speaker 1: is arrested for it. It can't usually work that way.
Speaker 2: It's named after his dog, Yeah, and.
Speaker 1: The law makes it a felony basically to abandon a
Speaker 1: pet during an emergency. So if you leave your dog
Speaker 1: behind during a hurricane, then you could be held liable
Speaker 1: for it. But they dropped the charges against him because
Speaker 1: I guess they didn't have a case like they and
Speaker 1: this guy just tied his dog to a fence and
Speaker 1: the dog is a Yeah, the dog was in water
Speaker 1: up to its neck when somebody found it and like
Speaker 1: freed the dogs. And if to me, if that's not
Speaker 1: animal cruelty, it's like God, I don't know. That seems
Speaker 1: like an obvious case to me.
Speaker 2: He got the dog back and I will light something
Speaker 2: on fire.
Speaker 1: It doesn't say it says the law makes it a
Speaker 1: felony to abandon a pet during emergency. Now, but the
Speaker 1: charges in that high profile case have been dropped. According
Speaker 1: to court records from Hillsborough County, Giovanni Garcia is going
Speaker 1: to get off scott free.
Speaker 2: So weird does not take it down right now.
Speaker 1: You don't have any delete buttons. You don't have any
Speaker 1: control over his screen in his studio.
Speaker 2: You can rip that monitor off the wall.
Speaker 1: Physically impressive. You took it off you. Plus he didn't
Speaker 1: take mine off alright? Is that you never know what's
Speaker 1: going to be on there. I'm talking to Baby Kangaroos.
Speaker 1: You can you can watch the show see what's happening
Speaker 1: by the scenes here on YouTube or twitch, dot tv,
Speaker 1: slash the News Junkie. I could use a visit from
Speaker 1: some baby kangaroos right about now, if that could be
Speaker 1: brought into reality. But if not, we'll see what happens
Speaker 1: when we come back. That's coming up next on the
Speaker 1: News Junkie. On the way, I will get some dispatches
Speaker 1: and emails here in a moment I just saw on
Speaker 1: Instagram earlier. Yeah, that Shaboozi showed up at a bar
Speaker 1: in Orlando the other night, No showed up and started
Speaker 1: a partying cowboys. Oh really, yeah, that guy's got he
Speaker 1: needs another hit though, wasn't he He needs another hit
Speaker 1: out there? Because that song was so big? And then
Speaker 1: I think that he had a second single that was
Speaker 1: okay that I heard and.
Speaker 3: It didn't really stick because I don't remember what it was.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go on a journey here to wrap
Speaker 1: things up on the show today one, I guess there
Speaker 1: was just a bit of a shock moment at the
Speaker 1: White House. Trump was taking some questions after Andrea Bocelli
Speaker 1: had cleared his way out of the White House, and
Speaker 1: maybe there he is, okay, see you later. And now
Speaker 1: Trump was asked about uh Maduro, who's the dictator in
Speaker 1: Venezuela at the moment, and he just dropped an F
Speaker 1: bomb right in the Oval office during this whole thing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, I'd like to keep.
Speaker 2: The job for now at least, so yeah, would it
Speaker 2: be crazy though if we lost our job because the
Speaker 2: president's F bomb?
Speaker 1: Though I don't think we would I don't well and
Speaker 1: hold on wait wait wait, wait, wait wait wait, we
Speaker 1: could because I heart could say I don't care what
Speaker 1: anybody else says. We told you not to say that,
Speaker 1: and then you played it on air. But I don't
Speaker 1: think that the FCC would actually find a violation in
Speaker 1: playing audio of the president saying the e.
Speaker 2: F word don't taste it.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because they didn't when it was
Speaker 1: at Bono to the F bomb fleeting, because it wasn't
Speaker 1: even fleeting. Bono just said, this is effing brilliant, and
Speaker 1: that is not a banned way of using the word. Technically,
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to describe sexual acts or acts of somebody,
Speaker 1: you know, using the restroom or these types of things.
Speaker 1: That's the technicality that you can get by sometimes.
Speaker 3: But Trump dropped the F bomb.
Speaker 1: Here he is, he has, he has offered everything. He's
Speaker 1: offered everything.
Speaker 13: You're right, because he doesn't want to fall around with
Speaker 13: the United States.
Speaker 1: Thank everybody. That's a microp moment. He shut down the
Speaker 1: beating afterwards too. He said it, and he was like,
Speaker 1: all right, see you later, everybody. That's it's like a
Speaker 1: thank you good night line or something. He has he
Speaker 1: has offered everything. He's offered everything.
Speaker 13: You're right, you know why, because he doesn't want to
Speaker 13: fall around with the United States.
Speaker 1: Thank everybody.
Speaker 18: Okay, night, see you later, everybody. But so we could
Speaker 18: do that, I mean, we could definitely play I'm playing it.
Speaker 1: I'm playing it uncensored right now. Forget this Okay, wait
Speaker 1: wait no, no, enough is enough with something? We can
Speaker 1: do it. We can do it. I'm playing this sucker uncensored. Uh,
Speaker 1: that would be great if he did. I'm quite sure
Speaker 1: he's said it before.
Speaker 3: Sign bitch. Oh that's clever.
Speaker 7: That's somebody on the somebody on the chat that put
Speaker 7: me up to it is.
Speaker 1: That's a clever Sign Zealand. Okay, let's see what we
Speaker 1: got here. I want to show you something that I
Speaker 1: thought was pretty jarring. This was a study that was
Speaker 1: done this week, and the generations and the gap that
Speaker 1: we've seen on mental health stuff is crazy to me.
Speaker 1: Look at this when you ask this question to the generations,
Speaker 1: generations being Boomer, gen X, gen X, I try not
Speaker 1: to forget about you around here. Everybody forgets about you,
Speaker 1: gen X, I try not to do that around here. Boomer,
Speaker 1: gen X, millennial and gen Z and they asked the
Speaker 1: question to these generations, and they said, to Boomers, is
Speaker 1: this sentence true, Okay, mental health challenges are an important
Speaker 1: part of my identity, all right, Not that you take
Speaker 1: mental health seriously, not that therapy is important, not any
Speaker 1: of those things, but mental health challenges are an important
Speaker 1: part of my identity. When they asked the Boomers, twenty
Speaker 1: seven percent of men agreed with that and thirty four
Speaker 1: percent of women. So for Boomers, most people said no,
Speaker 1: mental health challenges are not an important part of my identity.
Speaker 1: When they went to gen X, it was right down
Speaker 1: the middle. It was about fifty fifty. When they asked women,
Speaker 1: forty or fifty three percent of them said yes, mental
Speaker 1: health challenges are an important part of my identity. And
Speaker 1: when they asked men, it was about forty seven. So
Speaker 1: gen X was about split down the middle on whether
Speaker 1: they think mental health challenges are an important part of
Speaker 1: their identity.
Speaker 2: Challenges added, like the challenges you face meant in your
Speaker 2: mental health or you take a challenge.
Speaker 1: That quote exactly. It's saying that your mental health issues
Speaker 1: are not something that you just find to be important
Speaker 1: or something, but are an important part of your identity
Speaker 1: who you are who you are, right, So they asked
Speaker 1: gen X, and it was fifty to fifty. The Boomers
Speaker 1: were like, barely any everywhere to do it. Millennials. Millennial
Speaker 1: men were at about fifty six percent, Millennial women were at.
Speaker 3: Sixty seven percent.
Speaker 1: Okay, said that mental health challenges are an important part
Speaker 1: of their identity, and the Zoomers sixty seven percent of
Speaker 1: the males said that that was true, and seventy two
Speaker 1: percent of females. So, just in case you're lost in
Speaker 1: the sauce numbers, wise here from the Boomer generation saying like, hey,
Speaker 1: only about a quarter of us think that mental health
Speaker 1: challenges are an important part of their identity, to now
Speaker 1: three quarters of people and Gen Z think mental health
Speaker 1: challenges are an important part of my identity. And that
Speaker 1: is a pretty shocking pendulum swing there all right Now,
Speaker 1: to me, I would look at this and say, gen X,
Speaker 1: I think you had it about right. I think the
Speaker 1: fifty if they slide on, this is about right. The
Speaker 1: Boomers are all about like pushing it down and not
Speaker 1: crying and be strong and we're fine. Everything's good. We're good,
Speaker 1: we're good, we're good. No problem here. But now, God,
Speaker 1: did we reach the other end of the rainbow, with
Speaker 1: seventy two percent of women saying that mental health challenges
Speaker 1: are an important part of their identity. That's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: Abraham dragon Friend says, it's a weird question. It's not really,
Speaker 1: it's not. It means to say, like, not only do
Speaker 1: you think mental health is important, but it's important part
Speaker 1: of who you are. That's probably somebody who engages in
Speaker 1: like therapy speak. That's somebody who literally would say that
Speaker 1: this is if you said, explain yourself in five words,
Speaker 1: one of them would probably be that you know that
Speaker 1: that is such a crazy swing in numbers. You do
Speaker 1: not see that kind of stuff at all on any issue.
Speaker 1: You're not going to see a switch that big. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't think. So there you go. Let's see what else
Speaker 1: we have here. As we start to wrap things up today,
Speaker 1: let's hear from how about Osman talking about his parents'
Speaker 1: philosophy on teen drinking. I'm interested.
Speaker 6: I know when I was a teenager given an older teenager,
Speaker 6: but you know, me and my friends and our parents
Speaker 6: would have this rule where yeah, we'll give you a
Speaker 6: little bit to drink a lot, but you know, a
Speaker 6: little bit and you can drink but you have to
Speaker 6: stay either inside or in the backyard.
Speaker 1: And you're not leaving.
Speaker 6: You're not going to ride your bikes, you're not going
Speaker 6: to drive the cars, you're not doing any of that stuff.
Speaker 6: And I mean it was only ever like four maybe
Speaker 6: five of us at most.
Speaker 3: It was never like a huge party.
Speaker 1: Well, I think the difference between what you're saying and
Speaker 1: what happened in this case with the doctor is the
Speaker 1: parents are like a present force at the party. So
Speaker 1: the parents are there to go, you, guys, you know
Speaker 1: you're not leaving. Here's what you're doing. We're going to
Speaker 1: literally make sure you're safe. And in the case of
Speaker 1: this doctor that was in trouble for the party that
Speaker 1: happened with all the kids passing out and stuff, she
Speaker 1: was there, but she was in her room and she
Speaker 1: wasn't like actively overseeing anybody at this party, so she
Speaker 1: couldn't even tell them like, don't go into the front yard,
Speaker 1: don't be falling all over the place. She just wasn't
Speaker 1: really involved. And I think what happens many times is
Speaker 1: parents want to help their kids be cool with other kids.
Speaker 1: They want their kids to be seen as like, you know,
Speaker 1: somebody fun, and they want to be seen as a
Speaker 1: fun mom, and they want to be like this particular
Speaker 1: type of character, and then they inject themselves into this
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, somebody gets like sick
Speaker 1: or drinks too much and the cops show up. And
Speaker 1: when the cops show up, then it's a whole different
Speaker 1: thing becomes out at it becomes an issue where the
Speaker 1: like the law comes into it.
Speaker 3: Obviously.
Speaker 1: Here's concrete Mike talking about something he saw that was strange.
Speaker 8: All right, Hackey Weekend News Junkie crew. Hey, so I
Speaker 8: have a question. I've saw something driving that I've never
Speaker 8: noticed before. All vehicles license plates have a registration sticker
Speaker 8: with a month and a date. I was behind a
Speaker 8: particular vehicle, just a common car, and the sticker had
Speaker 8: a bold capital P and capital M on it, and
Speaker 8: that was it.
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
Speaker 7: No, I believe it stands for permanent PM.
Speaker 1: You can have a permanent registration. Why don't I have
Speaker 1: one of those? I would very much like that I
Speaker 1: never have to renew it again.
Speaker 2: It's a that has like three or four letters on
Speaker 2: their license plate.
Speaker 7: It's permanent registration for fleet vehicles, most commonly used by
Speaker 7: rental car companies. It's a special decal that replaces the
Speaker 7: traditional monthly and yearly expiration stickers for vehicles that are part.
Speaker 2: Of my nights.
Speaker 1: Somebody hook it up, please, all right, fleet, I'll pretend
Speaker 1: like I'm part of a fleet. What do I can?
Speaker 1: I just can I just pretend like some rich people around.
Speaker 1: Rich people get away with this kind of stuff. Remember
Speaker 1: not Tim Cook, but oh what's his name? Steve Jobs
Speaker 1: found a loophole in the law so he could not
Speaker 1: have a license plate at all on his car in California.
Speaker 1: What was a loophole? The loophole? I don't know, just
Speaker 1: seeing if you could look this up, so I'm not
Speaker 1: sounding crazy. Steve Jobs no license plate loophole, And he
Speaker 1: found some kind of like loophole, and then he said,
Speaker 1: I don't want people looking up my license plate and
Speaker 1: checking out my information. So he never had one on
Speaker 1: his car when he would park at Apple and would
Speaker 1: drive around without a license plate because he found some
Speaker 1: like legal loophole to be able to do that.
Speaker 3: Unless I completely made this up, it allowed.
Speaker 7: Him to drive without license plates by leasing a new
Speaker 7: car every six months, I had.
Speaker 2: A temporary license plate. Because he gets pulled over if
Speaker 2: you had no license plate.
Speaker 1: Like he's doing it through the dealer. Kind of the.
Speaker 7: Loophole was a provision that gave new vehicles a six
Speaker 7: month grace period before permanent plates were required. He would
Speaker 7: lease an identical new car, typically a silver Mercedes s
Speaker 7: L fifty five AMG, just before the six month deadline,
Speaker 7: so he never drove a car that had permanent plates.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm gonna do that whole medicine loophole too.
Speaker 1: The loophole was later closed by new legislation. Damn, they
Speaker 1: closed the loophole. That's that's the worst thing to happen.
Speaker 1: He never want that. Okay, we're going to take a
Speaker 1: quick break. When we come back, we're going to wrap
Speaker 1: everything up for the whole week. We're going to do
Speaker 1: the final dispatches. Of course the stories that did make
Speaker 1: the cut. And today I learned to wrap everything up
Speaker 1: for a Friday and send you off into the weekend
Speaker 1: and have some fun. That's coming up next in the news.
Speaker 1: Chunk Key shouts out to the podcasters for making it
Speaker 1: this far. Honestly, in the podcast, it's like.
Speaker 7: With the with the ads just interrupting us.
Speaker 1: Gross, it's just an affront to the senses that they would.
Speaker 2: Do that segment brought to you by a hydroxy cut.
Speaker 1: And imagine if it's if I'm in the middle of
Speaker 1: a sense, I'm like and the most unbelievable, and then bam,
Speaker 1: you go off to some casino commercial or ten.
Speaker 2: Year anniversary of our podcast.
Speaker 1: What are you going to say next chumble onemble casino
Speaker 1: or whatever. I don't know what they run on that thing,
