<v Speaker 2>microphone is literally talking about doing nose candy. Now, I

0:01:53.100 --> 0:01:57.010
<v Speaker 2>going to have to just drag through here and see

0:01:57.030 --> 0:02:00.430
<v Speaker 2>what I can do. But I am excited to be back.

0:02:00.450 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>We got a big, fat, juicy, dramatic week of shows

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>for you, of course. We've even got our friend Amy

0:02:07.340 --> 0:02:10.500
<v Speaker 2>Caulfield to light things up here in about an hour.

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 2>That'll be fun. We'll get into some stuff with her.

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.770
<v Speaker 2>We went over the weekend. Celan and I once again

0:02:16.270 --> 0:02:20.470
<v Speaker 2>did very similar things at different times. Sure. I don't know.

0:02:21.070 --> 0:02:24.290
<v Speaker 2>Our paths should have crossed, but they didn't once more.

0:02:24.470 --> 0:02:27.430
<v Speaker 2>I was invited to join you on Friday night. But

0:02:27.490 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>turned it down. You said, I don't want to hang

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>out with that guy anymore. I did want to hang

0:02:31.380 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>out with you guys. I but unfortunately, the timing just did.

0:02:36.500 --> 0:02:37.299
<v Speaker 2>It didn't work out.

0:02:37.500 --> 0:02:42.060
<v Speaker 3>I was offered the tickets to Saturday night's Garth Brooks show.

0:02:43.210 --> 0:02:46.429
<v Speaker 3>And we had locked that in beforehand and in a

0:02:46.770 --> 0:02:49.989

<v Speaker 2>Garth Brooks songs, but I would go see Disney on

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.660

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.639

<v Speaker 2>got you. Also, as we're headed out there, I get

0:03:27.419 --> 0:03:31.549
<v Speaker 2>a text from my friend Leon Mills. And Leon goes, hey,

0:03:31.770 --> 0:03:33.970
<v Speaker 2>you're going to be out here at the Garth Brooks

0:03:34.030 --> 0:03:36.670
<v Speaker 2>show tonight? I go, yeah, this was on Friday. This

0:03:36.730 --> 0:03:38.930
<v Speaker 2>is Leon Mills from Mills Air that you hear me

0:03:38.970 --> 0:03:42.020
<v Speaker 2>talking about. And Leon goes, I'm in a booth, too.

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm in the iHeart. I'm in the iHeart Founders Suite.

0:03:44.420 --> 0:03:46.060
<v Speaker 2>And I go, I'm sorry.

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>What?

0:03:48.460 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I said, Leon, hold on. iHeart has a Founders Suite,

0:03:51.620 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>and they've never told us about it.

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.700
<v Speaker 2>They've never told us. We got a suite at the arena.

0:03:56.740 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>So when they come through.

0:03:59.020 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 3>I've been to the iHeart Suite in Tampa for a

0:04:02.580 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 3>lightning game once.

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.190
<v Speaker 2>And I was like. Well, I wish they had one

0:04:07.210 --> 0:04:09.170
<v Speaker 2>of these in Orlando. It'd be a lot cooler. And

0:04:09.190 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 2>now I'm finding out that they have one and they

0:04:11.380 --> 0:04:16.140
<v Speaker 2>just have not told us. Unbelievable, man. Absolutely unbelievable. It

0:04:16.180 --> 0:04:18.430
<v Speaker 2>was a great time, though. I had a really good

0:04:18.490 --> 0:04:20.690
<v Speaker 2>time on Friday night. What did you think of the show?

0:04:21.050 --> 0:04:24.530
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you, Garth Brooks has some awesome songs, and

0:04:24.670 --> 0:04:27.339
<v Speaker 2>he is an unbelievable performer.

0:04:27.540 --> 0:04:27.780
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:04:27.820 --> 0:04:29.860
<v Speaker 2>He's like, what is he, 60-something now?

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:30.900
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I don't know.

0:04:30.940 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Let me see. And he's sort of like Bruce Springsteen vibes,

0:04:34.180 --> 0:04:37.310
<v Speaker 2>where he's running around on the stage all the time.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 2>He's 64. incredible energy. I will say without a shadow

0:04:41.700 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 2>of a doubt, incredible band.

0:04:44.339 --> 0:04:44.539
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:44.580 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>And one of the things I'm sure he did this

0:04:46.670 --> 0:04:48.460
<v Speaker 2>on the show that you went to the next thing

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.250
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday, but what are the things that Garth Brooks

0:04:51.290 --> 0:04:54.289
<v Speaker 2>did out there? He's playing like, you know, Colin Baton Rouge.

0:04:54.330 --> 0:04:57.590
<v Speaker 2>He's playing all the big hits, friends in low places

0:04:57.690 --> 0:05:01.190
<v Speaker 2>and thunder rolls. And in one of the breaks between

0:05:01.210 --> 0:05:04.630
<v Speaker 2>the big songs, he's introducing his band. That's with him.

0:05:05.290 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>And as he's introducing this band, he goes, the youngest

0:05:08.380 --> 0:05:10.860
<v Speaker 2>member of this band, as in like the newbie, the

0:05:10.900 --> 0:05:13.870
<v Speaker 2>newbie in my touring band has been here for seven years.

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.059
<v Speaker 2>And he said, everybody else has been in this band

0:05:17.100 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 2>since the 1980s. Yeah, that's insane. I'm like, you know what?

0:05:21.540 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that means that Garth Brooks is

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 2>a good guy, but it seems like it's like a

0:05:26.500 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 2>piece of evidence stacked in that direction that he's fun

0:05:30.020 --> 0:05:30.570
<v Speaker 2>to work with.

0:05:30.670 --> 0:05:33.870
<v Speaker 3>You probably don't keep a job that long if you're

0:05:33.930 --> 0:05:36.610
<v Speaker 3>not well taken care of. And I'm sure a lot

0:05:36.630 --> 0:05:38.789
<v Speaker 3>of these guys do other stuff, because Garth Brooks doesn't

0:05:38.830 --> 0:05:44.380
<v Speaker 3>just constantly tour all the time. But I'll bet that

0:05:45.140 --> 0:05:48.820
<v Speaker 3>in the hierarchy of phone calls, when the Garth phone rings,

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 3>you drop everything.

0:05:50.700 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do.

0:05:52.790 --> 0:05:53.190
<v Speaker 1>I would.

0:05:53.910 --> 0:05:56.150
<v Speaker 2>Also, Crazy Drunk Cat Lady on YouTube says, Sean didn't

0:05:56.190 --> 0:05:58.330
<v Speaker 2>know any of his songs, shaking my damn head. You

0:05:58.550 --> 0:06:03.380
<v Speaker 2>are wrong! Okay? Wrong, all right? I was asked when

0:06:03.420 --> 0:06:05.779
<v Speaker 2>we got there, like, hey, do you know any country?

0:06:05.820 --> 0:06:08.430
<v Speaker 2>Sean must be a big fan of country music. Sean,

0:06:08.450 --> 0:06:10.710
<v Speaker 2>can I have a go? I said, in the 90s, baby,

0:06:10.730 --> 0:06:13.330
<v Speaker 2>in the acreage, I was as tuned in as you

0:06:13.370 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 2>can get. I know some Garth Brooks. You want to

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.539
<v Speaker 2>put on Baton Rouge or Ain't Going Down Till the

0:06:19.580 --> 0:06:20.210
<v Speaker 2>Sun Comes Up?

0:06:20.220 --> 0:06:20.820
<v Speaker 1>Dude, bangers.

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Watch me. I know every word to the song, my friend. Okay?

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>6 o'clock on Friday evening. Mama doesn't know. I love

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.980
<v Speaker 2>that song. I mean, there are fast ones, too. But yeah, 100%,

0:06:30.980 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I know. And it was a great show. Seems like

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.289
<v Speaker 2>a nice guy. Sold out three days in a row.

0:06:35.690 --> 0:06:38.609
<v Speaker 2>even a damn matinee for you, the post church crowd

0:06:38.710 --> 0:06:39.410
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday.

0:06:39.430 --> 0:06:42.060
<v Speaker 3>And that was the one that we, we, another thing

0:06:42.070 --> 0:06:43.919
<v Speaker 3>where it was like, we got our Saturday ticket. And

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 3>then I was like, they just announced a Sunday matinee show.

0:06:46.220 --> 0:06:46.860
<v Speaker 2>Son of a bitch.

0:06:46.940 --> 0:06:49.810
<v Speaker 3>We would have rather have gone to the, the 2

0:06:49.810 --> 0:06:54.700
<v Speaker 3>PM show. That lets out at 4 or 4.30 or something. No,

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 3>don't be so old. You're not the early bird concert

0:06:57.940 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 3>crowd guy yet. You've still got it in you. You're

0:07:00.700 --> 0:07:03.550
<v Speaker 3>a young man still. The first time I saw Garth

0:07:03.589 --> 0:07:07.250
<v Speaker 3>Brooks was after we did a hurricane broadcast here at

0:07:07.310 --> 0:07:10.610
<v Speaker 3>the station. One of those sleepovers where we're on the

0:07:10.670 --> 0:07:13.230
<v Speaker 3>air all night making sure that people get the information,

0:07:13.750 --> 0:07:17.930
<v Speaker 3>but usually just drinking. And, uh, our boss handed out

0:07:17.950 --> 0:07:20.690
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of tickets as like, thank you. Because Garth

0:07:20.730 --> 0:07:23.830
<v Speaker 3>was in town Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, all four days.

0:07:24.090 --> 0:07:27.470
<v Speaker 3>But the Thursday, Friday shows got moved to early Saturday

0:07:27.510 --> 0:07:30.970
<v Speaker 3>and early Sunday because of the hurricane. And so I

0:07:31.010 --> 0:07:34.190
<v Speaker 3>went to the early show on like Friday or Saturday.

0:07:34.650 --> 0:07:37.250
<v Speaker 3>And then afterwards I had all the time in the

0:07:37.310 --> 0:07:39.470
<v Speaker 3>world to do whatever the hell I wanted. And it

0:07:39.530 --> 0:07:43.780
<v Speaker 3>was beautiful. I stayed downtown, uh, Till close. And it

0:07:43.820 --> 0:07:45.780
<v Speaker 3>was a wonderful Friday. We had a lot of.

0:07:45.780 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Crossover audience with Garth Brooks, too, because I saw a

0:07:48.300 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of people out there. Oh, I saw a bunch

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 2>of listeners. I was dancing with one of them. Don't

0:07:53.900 --> 0:07:57.270
<v Speaker 2>dance with the listeners. Shouts out to that guy. Yeah,

0:07:57.290 --> 0:08:00.020
<v Speaker 2>that ends up bad. We'll talk with you along the way.

0:08:00.030 --> 0:08:02.190
<v Speaker 2>You got any questions for us? Anything we're not talking about?

0:08:02.210 --> 0:08:04.430
<v Speaker 2>Anything you want to know about? Send a dispatch. Those

0:08:04.490 --> 0:08:07.250
<v Speaker 2>are recorded messages from the news junkie dot com. But

0:08:07.310 --> 0:08:09.580
<v Speaker 2>right now. Let's put our ears to the ground, our

0:08:09.610 --> 0:08:11.490
<v Speaker 2>fingers on the pulse. Let's see what's happened to this great, big,

0:08:11.570 --> 0:08:13.750
<v Speaker 2>wide world of ours. And we go to three.

0:08:14.110 --> 0:08:16.290
<v Speaker 1>Three, two, one.

0:08:18.370 --> 0:08:25.820
<v Speaker 2>SpaceX, Cameron County, Texas. There goes the Starship. I think

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 2>that might be the biggest damn thing to ever launch

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 2>from the ground on planet Earth.

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>It is a big-ass rocket.

0:08:37.610 --> 0:08:39.370
<v Speaker 2>Right now, as my words are coming out of my

0:08:39.390 --> 0:08:41.630
<v Speaker 2>mouth and into this microphone, it's still in the air.

0:08:42.730 --> 0:08:46.270
<v Speaker 2>But that was the launch. Straight up and looking gorgeous.

0:08:48.270 --> 0:08:52.189
<v Speaker 2>And I got to say, it's such a performance, man. SpaceX,

0:08:52.210 --> 0:08:54.490
<v Speaker 2>you know, even that Elon haters got to celebrate a

0:08:54.530 --> 0:08:56.589
<v Speaker 2>little bit when they see some of this stuff. And

0:08:56.610 --> 0:09:00.189
<v Speaker 2>then I guess they launched some more satellites out. There

0:09:00.230 --> 0:09:07.650
<v Speaker 2>you go. See you later. You know, it's funny, when

0:09:07.670 --> 0:09:09.910
<v Speaker 2>they launched the satellites, I was like, is that what

0:09:09.929 --> 0:09:13.290
<v Speaker 2>their satellites look like? I was picturing the thing with

0:09:13.330 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 2>a big dish on it. Right. You know, I was

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:22.670
<v Speaker 2>picturing like an old DirecTV from your uncle's roof. Or

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 2>my neighbor had one of those C bands that had

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 2>like a giant motor because it had to turn to

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>get to the channels to hit the different sats. Yeah, yeah,

0:09:33.220 --> 0:09:37.660
<v Speaker 2>the big ones, right? Yeah, this one looks almost like

0:09:38.260 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 2>a very thin computer or something just kind of rocketing

0:09:41.300 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 2>off into space. The actual satellites that they put out

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:50.590
<v Speaker 2>there are weirdly tiny. They are very underwhelming, I would feel.

0:09:51.090 --> 0:09:53.830
<v Speaker 2>Is there something going on here, C-Land, where this rocket,

0:09:54.090 --> 0:09:56.850
<v Speaker 2>this Starship rocket is so big that it's messing with

0:09:56.890 --> 0:09:58.569
<v Speaker 2>my eyes and making it look a little... It looks

0:09:58.590 --> 0:10:00.860
<v Speaker 2>like a damn lunch tray that's like... out of this thing,

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.100
<v Speaker 2>but it's a big rocket. So maybe it's the size

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>of the couch.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.780
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a little of both. Well, I mean,

0:10:06.860 --> 0:10:09.020
<v Speaker 3>all right, let me see. These are, what are these,

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.079
<v Speaker 3>Starlink satellites?

0:10:10.100 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 2>These are, yeah, I believe these, it says Starship deploys

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.199
<v Speaker 2>first satellites into orbit. So I'm assuming that they're like,

0:10:17.900 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 2>The Starlink satellite. Somebody says it looks like it's giving birth.

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>It's like, here it is. I birthed this satellite onto

0:10:25.940 --> 0:10:27.900
<v Speaker 2>the space. Okay.

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.540
<v Speaker 3>A standard Starlink satellite is roughly the size of a

0:10:31.610 --> 0:10:34.850
<v Speaker 3>large table or small car when packed.

0:10:35.390 --> 0:10:35.670
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:10:35.890 --> 0:10:38.830
<v Speaker 3>With a massive solar array that spans about 100 feet

0:10:38.929 --> 0:10:40.610
<v Speaker 3>when fully deployed in space.

0:10:40.630 --> 0:10:40.750
<v Speaker 5>Whoa.

0:10:40.770 --> 0:10:45.030
<v Speaker 2>So it unfolds like a damn peacock or something. That's amazing.

0:10:45.650 --> 0:10:49.950
<v Speaker 2>It's just an absolutely wild thing to see. And right now,

0:10:50.050 --> 0:10:52.750
<v Speaker 2>that's what's going on. It's floating around out there. We'll

0:10:52.770 --> 0:10:55.370
<v Speaker 2>talk to Amy Caulfield, like I said, in less than

0:10:55.390 --> 0:10:58.210
<v Speaker 2>an hour here, about 45 minutes or so. And I'm

0:10:58.250 --> 0:11:00.030
<v Speaker 2>sure she'll have some new details on what's going on.

0:11:00.050 --> 0:11:02.390
<v Speaker 2>But it was a test flight that took off. It

0:11:02.510 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 2>was expected to last about 10 hours. It was going

0:11:06.460 --> 0:11:08.819
<v Speaker 2>to just deploy. That was one that we watched here

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.020
<v Speaker 2>over on YouTube.com slash The News Junkie. But it's deploying

0:11:12.020 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 2>26 satellites total. They are not going to attempt to

0:11:16.020 --> 0:11:19.610
<v Speaker 2>land the super heavy rocket booster or the upper starship

0:11:19.890 --> 0:11:23.370
<v Speaker 2>spacecraft back on dry land. They're going to splash down

0:11:23.410 --> 0:11:26.370
<v Speaker 2>in the ocean. when they come back. Now there's no

0:11:26.490 --> 0:11:28.969
<v Speaker 2>astronauts in this rocket, right? No, no, no, no. I

0:11:29.010 --> 0:11:32.710
<v Speaker 2>don't believe so. No, this, and the crazy thing is

0:11:32.730 --> 0:11:36.330
<v Speaker 2>a lot of haters were crapping all over this starship thing.

0:11:36.370 --> 0:11:39.370
<v Speaker 2>Cause there was a lot of failed tests. You know,

0:11:39.429 --> 0:11:41.110
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember how many damn times something with the

0:11:41.130 --> 0:11:43.689
<v Speaker 2>starship blew up and people said, this thing is never

0:11:43.790 --> 0:11:45.770
<v Speaker 2>going to take off. They thought it was like the

0:11:45.809 --> 0:11:48.670
<v Speaker 2>spruce goose. You know what that is? What's that? Spruce goose.

0:11:49.290 --> 0:11:52.099
<v Speaker 2>They were trying to make this airplane. And look up

0:11:52.140 --> 0:11:54.970
<v Speaker 2>the Spruce Goose, Sealand. They were trying to make this airplane.

0:11:54.990 --> 0:11:57.150
<v Speaker 2>I think it was made out of wood, hence the spruce.

0:11:58.010 --> 0:12:00.890
<v Speaker 2>And it was so damn big at the time, people

0:12:00.929 --> 0:12:03.530
<v Speaker 2>thought there is no way that that plane is going

0:12:03.570 --> 0:12:05.970
<v Speaker 2>to get off the ground. And they had to test

0:12:06.030 --> 0:12:08.980
<v Speaker 2>and test and test and test. And then finally, that

0:12:09.030 --> 0:12:12.380
<v Speaker 2>thing took off and everybody was mesmerized that something so

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 2>big could float around in the air like that. And

0:12:15.580 --> 0:12:19.500
<v Speaker 2>it sort of opened the window for bigger things to

0:12:19.540 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 2>take off. Did you find this?

0:12:21.540 --> 0:12:25.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're calling it a wooden flying boat. Yeah, that's

0:12:25.340 --> 0:12:28.439
<v Speaker 3>basically it. I guess it was like a seaplane, but

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:33.320
<v Speaker 3>it looks like it has like eight engines. It was huge, right?

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:12:33.700 --> 0:12:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm looking at a photo of it now. Here's

0:12:37.740 --> 0:12:39.460
<v Speaker 2>a good one here. For those of you on the stream,

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.340
<v Speaker 2>youtube.com slash the news junkie, you can see this. But

0:12:42.900 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>it was so big, and it made out like wood

0:12:45.179 --> 0:12:47.859
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. And could land on the water. They thought,

0:12:47.900 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 2>there's no way this thing's ever going to get up.

0:12:49.670 --> 0:12:51.390
<v Speaker 2>And I think it was kind of like that with

0:12:51.410 --> 0:12:53.810
<v Speaker 2>this big rocket. The damn thing blew up so many times.

0:12:53.850 --> 0:12:56.929
<v Speaker 2>People thought it would never be successful. But here it is.

0:12:56.990 --> 0:12:59.330
<v Speaker 2>And soon enough, they'll have that thing so the rocket

0:12:59.370 --> 0:13:02.050
<v Speaker 2>comes back down just like the other ones do. Very,

0:13:02.090 --> 0:13:04.439
<v Speaker 2>very cool. But let us know your thoughts on this.

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.820
<v Speaker 2>Go over to thenewsjunkie.com right now. One more thing real quick,

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.719
<v Speaker 2>and then I'll get into the box office. This is

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.580
<v Speaker 2>the most disgusting thing I've seen in football in a very,

0:13:13.620 --> 0:13:16.770
<v Speaker 2>very long time. The players were going out onto the

0:13:16.820 --> 0:13:23.020
<v Speaker 2>field and celebrating after Minnesota defeated Washington 27-24 in college

0:13:23.090 --> 0:13:26.690
<v Speaker 2>football this weekend. One of the players was going out

0:13:26.750 --> 0:13:29.490
<v Speaker 2>to greet the coach after the game, and he has

0:13:29.670 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 2>blood running out of his mouth, okay? His lip had

0:13:34.270 --> 0:13:40.059
<v Speaker 2>busted open, and blood was pouring down his face. And

0:13:40.700 --> 0:13:44.459
<v Speaker 2>then when I saw what happened next, I clutched my pearls,

0:13:44.900 --> 0:13:48.110
<v Speaker 2>and I threw up mildly. But the coach goes up

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:56.689
<v Speaker 2>to the bloody football player. He wipes the blood all

0:13:56.809 --> 0:13:59.950
<v Speaker 2>over the player's face and then wipes it onto him

0:13:59.990 --> 0:14:03.540
<v Speaker 2>like it's some sort of Braveheart moment out there. I

0:14:03.740 --> 0:14:06.300
<v Speaker 2>thought he was going to kiss him. No, it's worse.

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 2>He's got blood on his mouth and he grabs him

0:14:08.100 --> 0:14:09.860
<v Speaker 2>and he rubs it and then rubs the blood on

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.690
<v Speaker 2>his face. And I'm like, what?

0:14:11.750 --> 0:14:13.030
<v Speaker 4>What? What?

0:14:13.570 --> 0:14:16.230
<v Speaker 2>I remember when we wouldn't share toothbrushes with people. What

0:14:16.270 --> 0:14:19.590
<v Speaker 2>has happened? Are we not afraid of any diseases anymore?

0:14:19.670 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Did that player score all 27 points?

0:14:22.500 --> 0:14:26.220
<v Speaker 3>That's the only thing that I could think would warrant

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 3>an act like this. If that player scored the entirety

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.420
<v Speaker 3>of the points that won the game and nobody else

0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.650
<v Speaker 3>scored them, you're like, all right, buddy, your blood deserves

0:14:35.690 --> 0:14:36.590
<v Speaker 3>to be on my face.

0:14:37.110 --> 0:14:39.830
<v Speaker 2>Did that player just help you hit an epic bonus,

0:14:39.930 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 2>like six-figure bonus flowing in? Like, oh, my God, we're

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.370
<v Speaker 2>not scared enough of blood anymore. I'll put this up

0:14:47.430 --> 0:14:49.410
<v Speaker 2>on CNN so you guys can take a peek. The

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.620
<v Speaker 2>other thing, though, for me, I mean, yeah, that's very weird.

0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>And I would love to know a little more about

0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 2>why you decided to do that. But nothing, I'm getting

0:14:58.420 --> 0:15:00.970
<v Speaker 2>to the point where things aren't grossing me out anymore. No.

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.450
<v Speaker 3>Because I saw the runner who pooped herself just continue

0:15:05.150 --> 0:15:07.260
<v Speaker 3>to do the marathon she was in.

0:15:08.130 --> 0:15:11.770
<v Speaker 2>Covered in poop. I will stay afraid of other people's

0:15:11.850 --> 0:15:14.870
<v Speaker 2>bodily fluids, just like I have always been. I will

0:15:14.930 --> 0:15:17.250
<v Speaker 2>stay that way. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know

0:15:17.270 --> 0:15:21.140
<v Speaker 2>how anybody's not. But, you know, here we are. All right.

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.260
<v Speaker 2>Let's take a look at the box office and see

0:15:23.300 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 2>how things are going out there. Here we go. Number

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 2>one with a bullet. Funny story attached to this one.

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.110
<v Speaker 2>Number one in the box office this weekend with $ 26 million,

0:15:37.450 --> 0:15:45.830
<v Speaker 2>Avengers Endgame Encore. They re-released Avengers Endgame. My favorite part

0:15:45.870 --> 0:15:48.630
<v Speaker 2>of this was I was watching the people who work

0:15:49.350 --> 0:15:51.970
<v Speaker 2>in the movie theaters talk on their message board about

0:15:52.010 --> 0:15:55.260
<v Speaker 2>this weekend. And they said, have you guys had lots

0:15:55.300 --> 0:15:57.710
<v Speaker 2>of people coming in that watch this and then get

0:15:57.750 --> 0:16:01.170
<v Speaker 2>mad because they thought they were watching the new Avengers?

0:16:02.230 --> 0:16:04.530
<v Speaker 2>They thought they were watching the one with Dr. Doom

0:16:04.570 --> 0:16:06.970
<v Speaker 2>and they sat down in the theater, they purchased their tickets.

0:16:07.470 --> 0:16:10.450
<v Speaker 2>I think they might have gotten half of that $ 26

0:16:09.790 --> 0:16:13.780
<v Speaker 2>million box office this weekend from people confused about what

0:16:13.820 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 2>movie they were watching. They're like, Avengers? Okay, I'll watch

0:16:17.060 --> 0:16:18.120
<v Speaker 2>the new Avengers movie.

0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:22.470
<v Speaker 3>And since this is a re-release, doesn't that count towards

0:16:22.510 --> 0:16:24.870
<v Speaker 3>the overall box office score?

0:16:24.890 --> 0:16:25.530
<v Speaker 2>I think so.

0:16:25.550 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Do you think they just re-released this because Spider-Man was

0:16:29.060 --> 0:16:30.700
<v Speaker 3>setting too many records and they were like, we want

0:16:30.740 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 3>our record back?

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.460
<v Speaker 2>I might be wrong, but I think it does. We'll

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.010
<v Speaker 2>have to see if re-releases count in the overall box office.

0:16:38.090 --> 0:16:42.730
<v Speaker 2>Resident Evil number two with $ 23. 3 million. Heart of the

0:16:42.810 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Beast with $ 20 million this weekend. That's with, oh, Courtney

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.460
<v Speaker 2>told me about this one. Heart of the Beast. The

0:16:51.500 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Paramount movie. Look that up if you can. Courtney was

0:16:54.540 --> 0:16:56.980
<v Speaker 2>telling me about this movie, but I hadn't heard much

0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.870
<v Speaker 2>about it. Primetime, the one about Chris Hansen, got fourth

0:16:59.920 --> 0:17:04.350
<v Speaker 2>place with $ 19 million. And Forgotten Island in fifth place

0:17:04.390 --> 0:17:08.170
<v Speaker 2>at the box office this weekend with $ 12. 8 million. Heart

0:17:08.190 --> 0:17:10.710
<v Speaker 2>of the Beast is Brad Pitt. Oh, that's right.

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 3>After surviving a plane crash, a former special forces soldier

0:17:14.100 --> 0:17:18.500
<v Speaker 3>finds himself trapped in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness with his

0:17:18.540 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 3>combat dog.

0:17:19.780 --> 0:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that movie comes along with what people are saying

0:17:22.619 --> 0:17:28.500
<v Speaker 2>is the only acceptable spoiler in box office history. They

0:17:28.540 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 2>were so worried about how it would affect the box

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.780
<v Speaker 2>office that people thought the dog in the Brad Pitt

0:17:33.859 --> 0:17:37.200
<v Speaker 2>movie was going to die that they literally spoiled their

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.810
<v Speaker 2>own movie and said, hey, just so everybody knows, the

0:17:39.850 --> 0:17:43.530
<v Speaker 2>dog doesn't die. All right. They said, just so everybody knows,

0:17:43.590 --> 0:17:46.070
<v Speaker 2>the dog doesn't die, which I always find funny because

0:17:46.090 --> 0:17:47.090
<v Speaker 2>I bet a bunch of people die.

0:17:47.990 --> 0:17:48.230
<v Speaker 4>Sure.

0:17:49.050 --> 0:17:52.510
<v Speaker 5>Human beings and kids and humans that but they had

0:17:52.550 --> 0:17:55.930
<v Speaker 5>to spoil their own movie when you read the synopsis

0:17:56.540 --> 0:17:58.640
<v Speaker 5>it seems very light as i was reading it just

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 5>now i thought oh this dog could probably die yeah

0:18:01.340 --> 0:18:04.580
<v Speaker 5>right together him and his combat dog they battle the

0:18:04.660 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 5>elements and other animals in a harsh landscape that would

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.540
<v Speaker 5>likely kill any other man or dog.

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:14.340
<v Speaker 2>Uh-huh it just sounds like the dog yeah yep This

0:18:14.420 --> 0:18:16.060
<v Speaker 2>is like when we went to watch Marley and me

0:18:16.090 --> 0:18:18.450
<v Speaker 2>and my son started crying. He's like, why would you

0:18:18.530 --> 0:18:23.670
<v Speaker 2>take me to see this? They didn't want those monies.

0:18:23.730 --> 0:18:25.649
<v Speaker 2>They didn't want to lose those monies for people who

0:18:25.670 --> 0:18:28.370
<v Speaker 2>were like, nope, I'm not making it out to see this.

0:18:28.390 --> 0:18:29.630
<v Speaker 2>That's why they didn't tell anybody.

0:18:29.650 --> 0:18:29.750
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:18:31.530 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Uh, what, what's the Will Smith? Well, he's the last human. Oh, um, oh,

0:18:36.300 --> 0:18:39.139
<v Speaker 2>the zombie one. Will Smith. Uh, I am legend.

0:18:39.260 --> 0:18:39.439
<v Speaker 1>I am.

0:18:39.580 --> 0:18:40.220
<v Speaker 2>I am legend.

0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:40.460
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.300
<v Speaker 3>I almost said I robot. And I was like, that's

0:18:42.340 --> 0:18:44.540
<v Speaker 3>not real. Cause that's not right. Cause there's other people

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:45.159
<v Speaker 3>in I robot.

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I am legend. Yeah. That's a different one. All right.

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.020
<v Speaker 2>Quick break. When we come back, we've got to get

0:18:49.060 --> 0:18:52.580
<v Speaker 2>into an ESPN cameraman that is in, in big trouble.

0:18:53.180 --> 0:18:56.730
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you why. The VMAs were surprisingly last night,

0:18:56.770 --> 0:18:59.429
<v Speaker 2>and I have some thoughts on that. I watched only

0:18:59.550 --> 0:19:04.510
<v Speaker 2>Snoop Dogg's monologue. I saw that. Did you see? Okay,

0:19:04.530 --> 0:19:07.450
<v Speaker 2>there's some things to discuss here, folks. There's some things.

0:19:07.730 --> 0:19:11.640
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about this and why people should be reacting

0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.979
<v Speaker 2>more than they possibly are. That, plus an anonymous email

0:19:15.020 --> 0:19:17.359

<v Speaker 2>hang out right here on this great station. We love you.

0:20:28.350 --> 0:20:31.869
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate you all the rest. We were talking on

0:20:31.910 --> 0:20:33.679
<v Speaker 2>the stream during the break. I said, what are the

0:20:33.820 --> 0:20:38.820
<v Speaker 2>biggest conversations online on social media over the weekend? Like

0:20:38.820 --> 0:20:44.020
<v Speaker 2>20 million total views on Instagram. People fighting back and

0:20:44.100 --> 0:20:48.250
<v Speaker 2>forth over who has more of a negative impact on

0:20:48.310 --> 0:20:52.730
<v Speaker 2>your life. the top 2% of people in the United

0:20:52.790 --> 0:20:56.710
<v Speaker 2>States of America, or the bottom 2% of people in

0:20:56.730 --> 0:21:00.140
<v Speaker 2>the United States of America. And if you snapped your

0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.640
<v Speaker 2>fingers and eliminated one of those categories, the top two

0:21:03.700 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 2>percent of people in the United States of America, meaning

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.320
<v Speaker 2>like earners, the richest people like, you know, the the

0:21:09.460 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 2>the privileged class.

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:14.330
<v Speaker 2>Those people or you snapped your fingers and the bottom

0:21:14.369 --> 0:21:19.389
<v Speaker 2>two percent, the drug addicts, the hobos, the criminals, the

0:21:19.470 --> 0:21:22.970
<v Speaker 2>crime lords, all of these people. Which one of those

0:21:23.030 --> 0:21:27.689
<v Speaker 2>groups is bringing about more negative outcomes in your life?

0:21:28.330 --> 0:21:31.350
<v Speaker 2>And people are very it's it's kind of along political

0:21:31.390 --> 0:21:33.950
<v Speaker 2>lines a little bit, but people are pretty split on

0:21:33.990 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 2>whether or not they think the top two percent of

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 2>America does more damage to them than the bottom two

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.040
<v Speaker 2>percent of America. I can tell you when you go

0:21:42.060 --> 0:21:45.020
<v Speaker 2>to Target and the deodorant is locked up. When you

0:21:45.060 --> 0:21:48.580
<v Speaker 2>go into low trust society stores and everything is behind

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.810
<v Speaker 2>glass and, you know, he's like bars on the windows

0:21:51.869 --> 0:21:54.810
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. That's not because of the, the, the top 2%.

0:21:54.810 --> 0:21:57.869
<v Speaker 2>So at least that side of the degradation of the

0:21:57.910 --> 0:22:00.810
<v Speaker 2>quality of life in some aspects, that's not the blame

0:22:00.850 --> 0:22:03.669
<v Speaker 2>for the top 2%. Now there's plenty of things to

0:22:03.690 --> 0:22:06.210
<v Speaker 2>blame on that, but we can open that discussion up.

0:22:06.250 --> 0:22:07.830
<v Speaker 2>Let us know what you think. Send a dispatch over

0:22:07.850 --> 0:22:12.219
<v Speaker 2>at the news junkie.com. Meanwhile, the sports camera guys are

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:15.260
<v Speaker 2>hornier than ever this year. I've never seen anything like it.

0:22:15.500 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 2>I swear to God. I'm not kidding. I'm not exaggerating.

0:22:17.380 --> 0:22:19.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't think this is a new thing. I think

0:22:19.700 --> 0:22:22.090
<v Speaker 2>they're just getting called out for it more now. I

0:22:22.130 --> 0:22:24.110
<v Speaker 2>think it's a sign that some of the woke stuff

0:22:24.170 --> 0:22:26.130
<v Speaker 2>is dead because they wouldn't do this for a while.

0:22:26.170 --> 0:22:30.359
<v Speaker 2>The camera men were probably like, I've got a great shot. No, no, don't.

0:22:31.310 --> 0:22:34.510
<v Speaker 2>Don't zoom in on that. People get angry at everything, right?

0:22:34.550 --> 0:22:40.770
<v Speaker 2>From 2005 to 2000, like 22 or so in that zone.

0:22:40.790 --> 0:22:43.129
<v Speaker 2>I think people had to dial down this a little bit,

0:22:43.490 --> 0:22:47.190
<v Speaker 2>but the cameramen are so horny. They can't be camera women.

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:49.820
<v Speaker 2>I just refuse to believe that there's a woman behind

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 2>this camera. It could be. I refuse. I'll show you

0:22:54.900 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 2>folks on the stream on youtube.com slash the news junkie.

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:00.500
<v Speaker 2>One of the shots that went super viral over the

0:23:00.540 --> 0:23:04.620
<v Speaker 2>weekend is, Obviously not an accident. Okay, here it is.

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:08.460
<v Speaker 2>I don't even need the audio on it. And they

0:23:08.500 --> 0:23:12.609
<v Speaker 2>just zoom right in. This woman has an open top,

0:23:12.710 --> 0:23:17.609
<v Speaker 2>which kind of shows her cleavage. By the way, the

0:23:17.650 --> 0:23:21.030
<v Speaker 2>entire section, save for this, there's one guy in this section.

0:23:21.330 --> 0:23:23.379
<v Speaker 2>One dude and all women, most of them on their

0:23:23.390 --> 0:23:25.140
<v Speaker 2>cell phones, or a lot of them on their cell

0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:28.979
<v Speaker 2>phones at least. And the cameraman's just like, whoop. It's

0:23:29.010 --> 0:23:33.210
<v Speaker 2>like planet Earth for boobs when these cameramen are running

0:23:33.250 --> 0:23:36.669
<v Speaker 2>these very expensive pieces of machinery during these games. You

0:23:36.690 --> 0:23:37.609
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's new, though, huh?

0:23:37.950 --> 0:23:38.370
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no.

0:23:38.990 --> 0:23:44.230
<v Speaker 3>I think if there were a situation in which you

0:23:44.270 --> 0:23:48.359
<v Speaker 3>were able to... tune in to the clear-com system of

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 3>camera guys talking to each other.

0:23:49.859 --> 0:23:55.340
<v Speaker 2>Sexism on display. A little problematic. I mean, for this

0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:59.810
<v Speaker 2>shot here, I think what glares out to me, aside

0:23:59.830 --> 0:24:02.990
<v Speaker 2>from the obvious, is he's zooming in on somebody who

0:24:03.850 --> 0:24:06.310
<v Speaker 2>is barely reacting to the game yeah she's just there

0:24:06.470 --> 0:24:11.030
<v Speaker 2>there's a bunch of girls like actually dancing and clapping

0:24:11.150 --> 0:24:13.790
<v Speaker 2>and enjoying themselves behind this one woman and they're like

0:24:13.830 --> 0:24:15.690
<v Speaker 2>no no no no but this one has her hoots

0:24:15.790 --> 0:24:18.129
<v Speaker 2>up i actually i think the other women kind of

0:24:18.170 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 2>thought the camera might be coming in on them because

0:24:20.020 --> 0:24:22.500
<v Speaker 2>they're like yeah all right football we love it we're

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:24.419
<v Speaker 2>having a good time and then they kind of oh

0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 2>okay there's this on the jumbotron I'm not sure. I'm

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:30.720
<v Speaker 2>not sure. I'm not sure if they got a sight

0:24:30.740 --> 0:24:33.510
<v Speaker 2>of this as it was happening, but he went right

0:24:33.590 --> 0:24:35.750
<v Speaker 2>in for the kill, right? This was the moment on

0:24:35.790 --> 0:24:39.889
<v Speaker 2>planet earth where the chameleon opens its mouth and its

0:24:39.990 --> 0:24:43.850
<v Speaker 2>large tongue flies out and gets the fly and brings

0:24:43.910 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 2>it back in. And the cameraman's like, I've been waiting

0:24:47.100 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 2>for weeks for the, I've been in a, in an

0:24:50.580 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 2>anthill for, Wearing trash bags.

0:24:53.500 --> 0:24:56.020
<v Speaker 3>A couple weeks ago, there was just a shot of

0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:59.160
<v Speaker 3>some girl who was upset at something that had happened

0:24:59.180 --> 0:25:02.550
<v Speaker 3>in the game. But she was insanely hot. Not showing

0:25:02.570 --> 0:25:03.689
<v Speaker 3>a lot of skin like this one.

0:25:03.710 --> 0:25:06.629
<v Speaker 2>She's not even showing that much skin. She's just got

0:25:06.650 --> 0:25:09.690
<v Speaker 2>her cleavage on display here during the game. And they

0:25:09.730 --> 0:25:15.679
<v Speaker 2>borderline doxxed her. They gave out her name and her Instagram.

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:20.179
<v Speaker 2>Lindsey Pennington of 123 Merriweather Lane. And we're like, whoa.

0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Hold on. And meanwhile, this woman, like C-Lane said, the

0:25:24.700 --> 0:25:27.379
<v Speaker 2>real key thing is, I don't know how to search

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:29.580
<v Speaker 2>for this. The real key thing is this lady didn't

0:25:29.619 --> 0:25:31.659
<v Speaker 2>even seem like she was nearly that big of a fan.

0:25:32.060 --> 0:25:35.010
<v Speaker 2>But there was another woman this weekend who was awesome.

0:25:35.670 --> 0:25:38.090
<v Speaker 2>She's watching the game and it's like a tense moment.

0:25:38.369 --> 0:25:40.570
<v Speaker 2>And she's like staring into the camera. And then she

0:25:40.670 --> 0:25:44.410
<v Speaker 2>puts her two fingers on her throat like she's measuring

0:25:44.470 --> 0:25:49.790
<v Speaker 2>her pulse as she's looking around. Oh, God. Football pulse.

0:25:49.869 --> 0:25:53.150
<v Speaker 2>Can I find that? That it was such a better shot. Actually,

0:25:53.170 --> 0:25:57.210
<v Speaker 2>here it is. Okay. This was the Packers game this weekend.

0:25:57.730 --> 0:26:01.050
<v Speaker 2>This woman was 10 times a better fan. Okay. She's

0:26:01.070 --> 0:26:03.070
<v Speaker 2>got her hands on her face. Like she's rocked in

0:26:03.090 --> 0:26:07.100
<v Speaker 2>the moment. And she puts her fingers down onto her

0:26:07.410 --> 0:26:10.420
<v Speaker 2>throat to like start measuring her pulse. Now that's a

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:14.020
<v Speaker 2>good shot. That's not bad. You didn't even need any

0:26:14.060 --> 0:26:17.570
<v Speaker 2>boobs on this. Some of these guys are a little

0:26:17.590 --> 0:26:21.170
<v Speaker 2>horned up, I think. They're a little excited, maybe too excited,

0:26:21.210 --> 0:26:23.420
<v Speaker 2>you might say. All right, we're going to put this

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 2>one on hold and go over to a couple of emails,

0:26:27.300 --> 0:26:29.139
<v Speaker 2>see what you have going on. I still got to

0:26:29.180 --> 0:26:31.580
<v Speaker 2>put up the bloody football clip. I'll put that up

0:26:31.660 --> 0:26:33.460
<v Speaker 2>on See It Now during the next break if I can.

0:26:34.090 --> 0:26:35.709
<v Speaker 2>I want to get into the VMAs thing because I'm

0:26:35.750 --> 0:26:38.609
<v Speaker 2>kind of pissed off. But let's start with this. Anonymous

0:26:38.790 --> 0:26:41.619
<v Speaker 2>emails the show. Tips at the news junkie dot com.

0:26:42.180 --> 0:26:44.780
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you on your take about school versus

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 2>substitute teacher. Oh, this was the lady who was fired.

0:26:49.550 --> 0:26:52.570
<v Speaker 3>I think she they found her only fans account that

0:26:52.590 --> 0:26:53.609
<v Speaker 3>she had for two years.

0:26:54.050 --> 0:26:54.290
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:26:54.630 --> 0:26:58.169
<v Speaker 3>And said you cannot substitute teach these kids anymore because

0:26:58.230 --> 0:26:59.250
<v Speaker 3>of your adult content.

0:26:59.710 --> 0:27:00.010
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:27:00.090 --> 0:27:03.250
<v Speaker 2>She says, or this anonymous person says, I don't look

0:27:03.290 --> 0:27:06.350
<v Speaker 2>down on people that create adult content. Get your money.

0:27:06.750 --> 0:27:09.260
<v Speaker 2>But if you're employed in a profession that heavily involves

0:27:09.300 --> 0:27:13.440
<v Speaker 2>being role models to children, you should also not engage

0:27:13.500 --> 0:27:16.320
<v Speaker 2>in public adult content. I, too, believe it would be

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.619
<v Speaker 2>detrimental in multiple ways for most kids to find out

0:27:18.660 --> 0:27:21.740
<v Speaker 2>their parents are doing that sort of thing. Now, I

0:27:21.780 --> 0:27:26.740
<v Speaker 2>can't speak directly about something that she's attached to. But

0:27:26.780 --> 0:27:29.290
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty certain most school districts have the same kind

0:27:29.310 --> 0:27:34.050
<v Speaker 2>of guidelines, especially in the United States. And she sends

0:27:34.090 --> 0:27:37.670
<v Speaker 2>over the guidelines for the school where she works, highlighting

0:27:37.710 --> 0:27:40.970
<v Speaker 2>this one particular section that says employees using social media

0:27:41.350 --> 0:27:44.810
<v Speaker 2>for professional and or personal reasons must adhere to the

0:27:44.890 --> 0:27:49.990
<v Speaker 2>principles of professional conduct and for the education profession. Any

0:27:50.070 --> 0:27:53.929
<v Speaker 2>inappropriate behavior outside of the workplace impacts the reputation and

0:27:53.990 --> 0:27:56.879
<v Speaker 2>status of the school district and may result in disciplinary

0:27:57.040 --> 0:28:00.620
<v Speaker 2>action up to and including dismissal. So it's in the

0:28:00.859 --> 0:28:03.479
<v Speaker 2>code of conduct that all these teachers end up signing

0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:06.360
<v Speaker 2>on to. If you're interested, I could also provide more.

0:28:06.380 --> 0:28:08.189
<v Speaker 2>I hope you and Court have a great weekend and

0:28:08.210 --> 0:28:10.950
<v Speaker 2>you get to feeling a lot better. Well, thank you, Anonymous,

0:28:11.010 --> 0:28:12.310
<v Speaker 2>and I do feel better.

0:28:12.570 --> 0:28:12.870
<v Speaker 1>I do.

0:28:12.950 --> 0:28:16.850
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that. Let's wrap up something from last week.

0:28:17.630 --> 0:28:20.670
<v Speaker 2>Because we did, of course, have our rate my blank

0:28:21.010 --> 0:28:25.670
<v Speaker 2>for last week. And it was rate my impression. And

0:28:25.820 --> 0:28:30.440
<v Speaker 2>some of them were, you know, okay. Some of them

0:28:30.940 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 2>not quite as much. I have some of the best

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 2>ones that we bookmarked. Oh, God. Oh, I know what

0:28:38.060 --> 0:28:39.480
<v Speaker 2>one is going to win already, but I'll tell you.

0:28:40.070 --> 0:28:42.750
<v Speaker 2>We had an impression of the Little Mermaid, an impression

0:28:42.770 --> 0:28:45.150
<v Speaker 2>of the Wicked Witch of the West, for instance.

0:28:45.170 --> 0:28:49.790
<v Speaker 6>I'll get you, my pretty, and your little lady dog, too.

0:28:51.190 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 3>The laugh was very good. The laugh took it to

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:57.740
<v Speaker 3>the next level. We had a Donald Duck impression.

0:28:57.820 --> 0:28:59.100
<v Speaker 7>You can't forget about Donald Duck.

0:29:04.460 --> 0:29:08.060
<v Speaker 2>But there was only one that really, really stood out,

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 2>and that got everybody's attention.

0:29:10.460 --> 0:29:15.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh, the dear Savior's baby.

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Cartman singing Oh, Holy Night.

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh, holy night.

0:29:20.180 --> 0:29:20.470
<v Speaker 2>By A.J.

0:29:20.540 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 8>Su.

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:23.580
<v Speaker 7>Something, something is there.

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Very good work. Very, very good work. That was Rate

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:38.270
<v Speaker 2>My Blank last week for your impressions. AJ Soup, that's

0:29:38.310 --> 0:29:39.970
<v Speaker 2>going to be our winner. She just stood out.

0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Out, man.

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:44.380
<v Speaker 2>She was just better. She showed you guys up. She

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:46.640
<v Speaker 2>showed you up. Let's see what you got for us

0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 2>this week. Rate My Blank. Now, this is like our

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:51.870
<v Speaker 2>distraction for the week. All week long, this is something

0:29:51.890 --> 0:29:54.370
<v Speaker 2>that we'll weave in and out of stories and segments,

0:29:54.790 --> 0:29:56.890
<v Speaker 2>and you can participate and you get a bunch of

0:29:56.910 --> 0:29:59.950
<v Speaker 2>merch and prizes if you are indeed the winner in

0:29:59.970 --> 0:30:02.190
<v Speaker 2>the Rate My Blank. Here's what we're doing. A little

0:30:02.210 --> 0:30:04.410
<v Speaker 2>bit of selfishness here, but I think it works for everybody.

0:30:04.780 --> 0:30:08.020
<v Speaker 2>Our Rate My Blank for this entire week is Rate

0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:14.040
<v Speaker 2>My Life Hack. I want to hear the life hack

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 2>that changed the game for you. The thing that you

0:30:17.180 --> 0:30:19.660
<v Speaker 2>learned that made your life easier that you can tell

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 2>other people and they'll be like, oh, my God. They'll

0:30:22.460 --> 0:30:25.140
<v Speaker 2>learn things. It'll save you time. It'll make things better.

0:30:25.180 --> 0:30:28.380
<v Speaker 2>It'll improve something in some way. It's a life hack.

0:30:28.970 --> 0:30:32.290
<v Speaker 2>Some small little thing that you learned that totally changed

0:30:32.330 --> 0:30:34.590
<v Speaker 2>the game for you. It could be in anything. It

0:30:34.610 --> 0:30:36.370
<v Speaker 2>could be in cooking. It could be in parenting. It

0:30:36.410 --> 0:30:39.470
<v Speaker 2>could be in technology. It could be in whatever. Rate

0:30:39.490 --> 0:30:43.200
<v Speaker 2>my blank. Rate my life hack this week. We'll see

0:30:43.220 --> 0:30:43.660
<v Speaker 2>what you got for us.

0:30:43.660 --> 0:30:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Is that how we learn to hack our own lives?

0:30:45.980 --> 0:30:47.660
<v Speaker 3>We're going to use these to our advantage?

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:49.940
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any that stand out for you, Celan?

0:30:49.990 --> 0:30:51.830
<v Speaker 3>As soon as you mentioned it, now I'm trying to

0:30:51.870 --> 0:30:54.710
<v Speaker 3>think of what I would give as mine, and I'm like,

0:30:55.630 --> 0:30:58.150
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. Now I feel like I've put myself

0:30:58.230 --> 0:30:58.950
<v Speaker 3>on the spot here.

0:30:59.430 --> 0:31:02.470
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Do you have a life hack? One that's like

0:31:02.490 --> 0:31:04.390
<v Speaker 2>an obvious one that somebody told me a long time ago,

0:31:04.410 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 2>they would say, invest the money in a Costco membership.

0:31:07.930 --> 0:31:09.510
<v Speaker 2>Because if you think, and this is what I thought

0:31:09.530 --> 0:31:12.130
<v Speaker 2>for a while, we have a small household. We don't

0:31:12.150 --> 0:31:15.070
<v Speaker 2>have five, six people living under this roof. We don't

0:31:15.110 --> 0:31:17.410
<v Speaker 2>need all of the volume from Costco. And they were like, nope,

0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:21.230
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter. There's so many things that make it worth it.

0:31:21.460 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Even just the gas, especially at a time like this.

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 2>If you do have a family, going in there on

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:32.860
<v Speaker 2>a weekend day, and getting lunch for your family, there's

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:35.460
<v Speaker 2>no place where it's cheaper. There is no place where

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:37.580
<v Speaker 2>you could take like five kids for not that much

0:31:37.640 --> 0:31:38.680
<v Speaker 2>money and get them all food.

0:31:38.780 --> 0:31:40.740
<v Speaker 3>And to that, like, I'll tell you one of the

0:31:40.850 --> 0:31:43.210
<v Speaker 3>things about Costco that I don't know that a lot

0:31:43.230 --> 0:31:46.530
<v Speaker 3>of people take advantage of as much as they could,

0:31:46.630 --> 0:31:50.710
<v Speaker 3>but you can get a lot of like $ 50 gift

0:31:50.770 --> 0:31:53.090
<v Speaker 3>cards to places for 40 bucks.

0:31:53.470 --> 0:31:53.730
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:31:53.990 --> 0:31:59.350
<v Speaker 3>So like we've had parties where instead of, you know,

0:31:59.430 --> 0:32:03.350
<v Speaker 3>going the catering route, we would just get a bunch

0:32:03.370 --> 0:32:06.210
<v Speaker 3>of those gift cards, order a bunch of the food

0:32:06.510 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 3>and kind of, you know, kind of DIY cater it.

0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 3>But now we've saved 20%.

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah. That's smart. I mean, I think that's just

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:15.760
<v Speaker 2>an easy one. Think about yours a little bit. We'll

0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:17.520
<v Speaker 2>work in more of ours, but we want to hear

0:32:17.660 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 2>your life hacks for rate my blank rate, my life

0:32:20.540 --> 0:32:23.610
<v Speaker 2>hack this week. What changed the game for you? What

0:32:23.650 --> 0:32:25.630
<v Speaker 2>little tidbit, what little piece of information?

0:32:25.850 --> 0:32:29.770
<v Speaker 3>Megan says, I got a BJ's membership just for the gas,

0:32:30.210 --> 0:32:32.470
<v Speaker 3>which is crazy because I got a gas membership.

0:32:32.870 --> 0:32:37.250
<v Speaker 2>It's all right. Quick break. Quick, quick break. I'll hit

0:32:37.270 --> 0:32:39.520
<v Speaker 2>the brakes on him. When we come back, I have

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:42.220
<v Speaker 2>some complaints. I have to talk about the VMAs. I

0:32:42.260 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 2>have some things to say. C-Lane saw some of this, too.

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.380
<v Speaker 2>We got to talk about Snoop Dogg, man.

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:51.440
<v Speaker 3>We watched the Snoop Dogg monologue, and then my wife

0:32:51.460 --> 0:32:53.360
<v Speaker 3>looked at me and said, what are we doing? What

0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:55.550
<v Speaker 3>are you doing? I just wanted to see this, and

0:32:55.570 --> 0:32:57.330
<v Speaker 3>we're turning it off. We'll tell you why.

0:32:57.370 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 2>That's coming up next on the News Junkie. I'm so

0:33:07.060 --> 0:33:11.680
<v Speaker 2>curious as to how anybody over at MTV cannot feel

0:33:11.740 --> 0:33:17.980
<v Speaker 2>weird about having a video music award show in 2026.

0:33:17.980 --> 0:33:23.420
<v Speaker 2>And strangely enough, Ridiculousness won zero awards, right? That they

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.600
<v Speaker 2>should win every award. you should have three awards that

0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:29.740
<v Speaker 2>go out at the video music awards for MTV award.

0:33:29.780 --> 0:33:33.060
<v Speaker 2>Number one goes out to ridiculousness. Maybe it's like the,

0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 2>what's the biggest award. Is it the, like the legacy award?

0:33:37.020 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 3>Um, well, I mean, they have the, the legacy award.

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:43.140
<v Speaker 3>Like they give the video Vanguard award, right?

0:33:43.180 --> 0:33:44.070
<v Speaker 2>That one. Yeah.

0:33:44.510 --> 0:33:47.170
<v Speaker 3>Um, and it used to be the Michael Jackson video Vanguard. And,

0:33:47.730 --> 0:33:50.490
<v Speaker 3>and then I think they're kind of like, just quietly

0:33:50.530 --> 0:33:53.050
<v Speaker 3>stopped calling it the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

0:33:53.330 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 2>For reasons? Yeah, for reasons. Yeah, so they don't play

0:33:57.600 --> 0:33:59.980
<v Speaker 2>music videos anymore, obviously. I mean, I know you've heard

0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:03.560
<v Speaker 2>that a billion times. They play Ridiculousness all these years later.

0:34:03.580 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 2>It's been like 10 years of this Rob Dyrdek clip show,

0:34:07.420 --> 0:34:11.859
<v Speaker 2>which is America's funniest home videos for millennials. Sure. And

0:34:12.290 --> 0:34:14.730
<v Speaker 2>that got no awards, even though it's one of the

0:34:14.750 --> 0:34:17.529
<v Speaker 2>only things they run. Big Bang Theory, which is like

0:34:17.550 --> 0:34:21.029
<v Speaker 2>their second most played thing on MTV. They run Big

0:34:21.070 --> 0:34:24.660
<v Speaker 2>Bang on MTV? Yep. Yeah. Big Bang Theory. The last

0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:25.900
<v Speaker 2>I saw was those two.

0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Hold on.

0:34:26.120 --> 0:34:30.140
<v Speaker 2>Let's see. MTV Schedule. Now, today, maybe it's just that

0:34:30.180 --> 0:34:32.870
<v Speaker 2>they're rerunning the award show over and over and over.

0:34:33.110 --> 0:34:33.570
<v Speaker 1>Who knows?

0:34:34.130 --> 0:34:40.930
<v Speaker 2>Ridiculousness. Ridiculousness. Ridiculousness. Ridiculousness. Ridiculousness. Big bang theory. Big bang theory.

0:34:41.050 --> 0:34:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Big bang theory. That's all the way until 7 p.m.

0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:45.219
<v Speaker 9>At night.

0:34:45.780 --> 0:34:50.540
<v Speaker 2>Then CBS fall first look 2026 where they're promoting new

0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:51.600
<v Speaker 2>CBS shows.

0:34:51.860 --> 0:34:52.180
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:55.739
<v Speaker 2>That's all. That's what they're doing there. Back to Ridiculousness,

0:34:56.219 --> 0:35:01.280
<v Speaker 2>which airs until, well, all night long. All night long.

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:05.000
<v Speaker 2>So that's what's happening on MTV. And none of them,

0:35:05.500 --> 0:35:07.340
<v Speaker 2>none of those shows, well, none of the two of

0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:11.759
<v Speaker 2>those shows won any awards. Somehow the same people who

0:35:11.780 --> 0:35:14.340
<v Speaker 2>won awards like for the last five years won awards

0:35:14.410 --> 0:35:18.330
<v Speaker 2>at the MTV VMAs. But Snoop Dogg went up to host.

0:35:18.370 --> 0:35:19.830
<v Speaker 2>What'd you think, C-Lane? What'd you think?

0:35:20.190 --> 0:35:20.370
<v Speaker 10>Ugh.

0:35:22.890 --> 0:35:28.670
<v Speaker 3>Not great. Not funny. He told a knock-knock joke that

0:35:28.710 --> 0:35:29.950
<v Speaker 3>had no punchline.

0:35:31.270 --> 0:35:35.030
<v Speaker 2>He said, knock-knock, and then the audience wasn't really listening

0:35:35.070 --> 0:35:37.969
<v Speaker 2>that good. And they're like, pay attention, knock-knock. And the

0:35:38.010 --> 0:35:46.450
<v Speaker 2>audience goes, who's there? And he goes, these nuts. It's 2026.

0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:49.459
<v Speaker 2>And he's dropping. And you know what? When I said

0:35:49.500 --> 0:35:50.839
<v Speaker 2>it at the bar, I was like, he just made

0:35:50.860 --> 0:35:53.590
<v Speaker 2>a Deez Nuts joke. And I told Courtney what Snoop

0:35:53.610 --> 0:35:56.170
<v Speaker 2>Dogg had just done on MTV for the VMAs. And

0:35:56.210 --> 0:36:01.290
<v Speaker 2>the bartender laughed. It's like, that's funny, man. That's funny, man. Like,

0:36:01.310 --> 0:36:03.049
<v Speaker 2>this is why he's able to get away with this.

0:36:03.250 --> 0:36:09.969
<v Speaker 2>Deez Nuts! I shouldn't have said it like a damn

0:36:10.010 --> 0:36:14.770
<v Speaker 2>stadium announcer. Deez Nuts! The Michael Buffer of Deez Nuts, guys.

0:36:15.469 --> 0:36:16.930
<v Speaker 2>Deez Nuts!

0:36:16.950 --> 0:36:20.740
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, aside from the terrible knock-knock joke, right?

0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:24.940
<v Speaker 3>He said, like, you know, a lot of times these hosts,

0:36:25.140 --> 0:36:28.540
<v Speaker 3>they do, like, a little roasting. Chris Rock was really

0:36:28.580 --> 0:36:32.779
<v Speaker 3>good at that. You know, John Mulaney was good at

0:36:32.820 --> 0:36:37.370
<v Speaker 3>the Emmys. And, like, this was his idea of, like,

0:36:37.410 --> 0:36:41.009
<v Speaker 3>poking fun at the people. Madonna just killed it. Now

0:36:41.070 --> 0:36:43.680
<v Speaker 3>that is an icon. One thing I want to say

0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:49.120
<v Speaker 3>is she ain't a virgin no more. Did you bang her,

0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Snoop Dogg?

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:51.520
<v Speaker 11>What?

0:36:52.739 --> 0:36:58.239
<v Speaker 2>She's also 70 years old or something. What even is

0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:01.279
<v Speaker 2>that joke? Snoop Dogg seems like he wrote his own lines,

0:37:01.710 --> 0:37:02.110
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:37:03.650 --> 0:37:06.090
<v Speaker 3>Now, when they first asked me to host this award show,

0:37:06.330 --> 0:37:09.410
<v Speaker 3>I said, is it going to be in L.A.? No. Well,

0:37:09.450 --> 0:37:13.090
<v Speaker 3>I'm busy. Then they called me back and said, hold on, Mr.

0:37:13.130 --> 0:37:13.470
<v Speaker 1>Dog.

0:37:13.950 --> 0:37:14.569
<v Speaker 2>It's in L.A.

0:37:14.630 --> 0:37:14.810
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:37:14.830 --> 0:37:19.790
<v Speaker 2>And then the crowd cheered. Yeah!

0:37:19.810 --> 0:37:21.950
<v Speaker 3>So having this show hosted by me and my city

0:37:21.969 --> 0:37:24.210
<v Speaker 3>means two things. One, tonight is going to be the

0:37:24.250 --> 0:37:25.910
<v Speaker 3>biggest party the VMAs has ever seen.

0:37:25.930 --> 0:37:26.930
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:37:27.590 --> 0:37:27.970
<v Speaker 1>And two.

0:37:28.690 --> 0:37:30.750
<v Speaker 3>It wouldn't be a Snoop Dogg party if I didn't

0:37:30.810 --> 0:37:32.730
<v Speaker 3>provide some of that special.

0:37:32.330 --> 0:37:33.610
<v Speaker 2>Sticky icky icky.

0:37:33.989 --> 0:37:34.430
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:37:34.450 --> 0:37:36.549
<v Speaker 3>That's for every winner here tonight, just for the winners.

0:37:36.950 --> 0:37:40.750
<v Speaker 3>So did he hand all the winners weed? Hey, Snoop Dogg,

0:37:40.890 --> 0:37:42.649
<v Speaker 3>weed isn't edgy in 2026.

0:37:42.650 --> 0:37:44.370
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Just for the record.

0:37:44.390 --> 0:37:44.910
<v Speaker 8>All right.

0:37:45.150 --> 0:37:47.989
<v Speaker 2>And when the Zoomers are tuning in and you're doing

0:37:48.010 --> 0:37:51.580
<v Speaker 2>the shizzle, manizzle and all that stuff. Oh, watch it, Sean.

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:54.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they get it. Somebody says, yeah, Sean,

0:37:54.260 --> 0:37:57.799
<v Speaker 2>what about MTV2? Okay. I got the MTV2 schedule up

0:37:57.820 --> 0:38:01.680
<v Speaker 2>for right now. Gladiator, the movie, into Gone in 60 Seconds,

0:38:01.820 --> 0:38:04.589
<v Speaker 2>into Gladiator, the movie, into the Jamie Foxx show, into

0:38:04.610 --> 0:38:07.650
<v Speaker 2>the Jamie Foxx show, that's all day. It's the entirety

0:38:07.870 --> 0:38:12.010
<v Speaker 2>of the day for MTV2. Not a single music video

0:38:12.050 --> 0:38:16.980
<v Speaker 2>was played. Now, an MTV classic, I guess, plays some

0:38:17.020 --> 0:38:21.739
<v Speaker 2>music videos still. But I would venture to guess, or

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:24.520
<v Speaker 2>venture a guess, which one is correct? Venture to guess,

0:38:24.580 --> 0:38:26.759
<v Speaker 2>or venture a guess? Ooh, I don't know. I would

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:32.110
<v Speaker 2>venture a guess. that this is the lowest rated cable

0:38:32.130 --> 0:38:35.850
<v Speaker 2>television in the MTV stable. That's what I would think.

0:38:36.030 --> 0:38:37.570
<v Speaker 2>I would think, because that's where they put it. They're like, ah,

0:38:37.610 --> 0:38:40.009
<v Speaker 2>let's put it over here on this one. Well, what

0:38:40.030 --> 0:38:42.210
<v Speaker 2>do you mean? The actual award show or? Oh, no,

0:38:42.910 --> 0:38:43.780
<v Speaker 2>MTV Classic.

0:38:44.090 --> 0:38:44.450
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:47.670
<v Speaker 2>The channel where they actually do play videos. And how

0:38:47.710 --> 0:38:50.589
<v Speaker 2>many households is that even carried on? I don't even know.

0:38:51.390 --> 0:38:53.290
<v Speaker 2>But there they go. They play that on all the

0:38:53.350 --> 0:38:56.170
<v Speaker 2>Viacom channels. So it's like the MTV thing is now

0:38:56.230 --> 0:38:59.170
<v Speaker 2>just a brand. It's not much different than Playboy. Exactly.

0:38:59.730 --> 0:39:02.469
<v Speaker 3>Venture a guess and venture to guess are both correct.

0:39:02.530 --> 0:39:04.920
<v Speaker 3>And they mean the same thing, though. Venture a guess

0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:06.200
<v Speaker 3>is more common.

0:39:07.000 --> 0:39:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay. All right.

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:08.500
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:11.359
<v Speaker 2>We're learning something today. Even on a Monday. Can't believe this.

0:39:12.360 --> 0:39:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Another story that I want to talk about just briefly,

0:39:14.180 --> 0:39:18.540
<v Speaker 2>and the VMAs was just like there was it seemed

0:39:18.560 --> 0:39:20.470
<v Speaker 2>like it was it could have been for five years ago.

0:39:20.489 --> 0:39:22.509
<v Speaker 2>It was like all the same people. Taylor Swift won

0:39:22.510 --> 0:39:23.710
<v Speaker 2>132 times. I think she got her 33rd VMA or

0:39:23.730 --> 0:39:30.620
<v Speaker 2>something like that. Yeah. It was like, okay. taylor swift

0:39:30.660 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 2>won awards and a bunch of them weren't even there

0:39:34.219 --> 0:39:38.450
<v Speaker 2>because it's not really a thing anymore madonna was there

0:39:38.469 --> 0:39:41.009
<v Speaker 2>uh yeah sure i mean if you have thoughts on

0:39:41.070 --> 0:39:43.310
<v Speaker 2>it let us know but the other story i wanted

0:39:43.410 --> 0:39:47.740
<v Speaker 2>to run down the flagpole Run up the flagpole, run

0:39:47.780 --> 0:39:50.060
<v Speaker 2>down the flagpole. Oh, here it goes. Here we go again.

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:52.940
<v Speaker 2>This was a story which was kind of crazy to

0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:57.620
<v Speaker 2>me that the bank executive at this bank in Michigan,

0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 2>a bank CEO lost her job. And she lost her

0:40:03.640 --> 0:40:09.259
<v Speaker 2>job over a viral photo of her family. And for

0:40:09.300 --> 0:40:12.500
<v Speaker 2>the folks over on the stream, I'll bring up this photograph.

0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:14.420
<v Speaker 2>Here it is. This is the woman who's the CEO

0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:15.860
<v Speaker 2>of this bank. Not anymore.

0:40:16.980 --> 0:40:17.460
<v Speaker 1>Or was.

0:40:18.080 --> 0:40:21.260
<v Speaker 2>And she got fired, which is hilarious. The CEO seems

0:40:21.280 --> 0:40:23.989
<v Speaker 2>like the person who wouldn't get fired. Like, I'm the CEO.

0:40:24.090 --> 0:40:26.770
<v Speaker 2>Good luck trying to fire me. But board of directors

0:40:27.030 --> 0:40:29.810
<v Speaker 2>exists here, I guess. And they fired the CEO. The

0:40:29.850 --> 0:40:32.969
<v Speaker 2>CEO took a photo. They're at the airport. And her

0:40:33.010 --> 0:40:37.819
<v Speaker 2>and her family have Lake America shirts on. Now, this

0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:41.440
<v Speaker 2>is like the recent Trump-Canada fight, renaming, was it Lake

0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Ontario that they renamed Lake America? And Canada's like, you

0:40:45.020 --> 0:40:47.940
<v Speaker 2>can't rename our lake. And the chief executive of this

0:40:47.980 --> 0:40:51.250
<v Speaker 2>bank in Michigan lost her job after posting this on

0:40:51.330 --> 0:40:56.089
<v Speaker 2>social media. Jane Smith, fake sounding name, Jane Smith from

0:40:56.170 --> 0:40:58.890
<v Speaker 2>Family First Credit Union went viral after sharing a photo

0:40:58.930 --> 0:41:01.450
<v Speaker 2>of her and three relatives wearing navy blue crewnecks with

0:41:01.469 --> 0:41:04.950
<v Speaker 2>the words Lake America scrawled on them. That's it. That's it.

0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:08.140
<v Speaker 2>And they took this as they were headed for a

0:41:08.160 --> 0:41:12.420
<v Speaker 2>10-day trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia. She says they weren't

0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:16.750
<v Speaker 2>even real. The sweatshirts were edited onto their bodies using AI.

0:41:17.330 --> 0:41:19.790
<v Speaker 2>We weren't trying to make a political statement, she told

0:41:19.850 --> 0:41:23.610
<v Speaker 2>Michigan news outlet WJRT. However, we were kind of poking

0:41:23.690 --> 0:41:25.390
<v Speaker 2>fun at the fact that one of the Great Lakes

0:41:25.530 --> 0:41:29.009
<v Speaker 2>names were getting changed. Family First Credit Union announced on

0:41:29.050 --> 0:41:31.870
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday that Smith was no longer with the company, that

0:41:31.969 --> 0:41:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Jason Acosta, the chief operations officer, would serve as interim CEO.

0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:39.940
<v Speaker 2>We sincerely apologize for the concern, disappointment, and pain this

0:41:39.960 --> 0:41:43.640
<v Speaker 2>situation has caused our members in the community. But, I mean,

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:45.940
<v Speaker 2>they fired this lady, and I want you to tell

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:47.380
<v Speaker 2>me if you think it's fair or if it's unfair.

0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:50.759
<v Speaker 2>They fired her because she posted a picture where her

0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:55.410
<v Speaker 2>family that was headed to Canada was wearing fake AI-generated

0:41:55.630 --> 0:42:03.410
<v Speaker 2>Lake America T-shirts or sweatshirts. Why? What on earth? Why?

0:42:03.430 --> 0:42:03.489
<v Speaker 12>Why?

0:42:03.910 --> 0:42:08.259
<v Speaker 2>Why ever would somebody be fired for that? It's ridiculous.

0:42:08.300 --> 0:42:11.020
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually kind of relieved that they are AI because

0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:13.440
<v Speaker 3>just the thought that you would hear that Trump renamed

0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:16.529
<v Speaker 3>a lake And your first instinct is to go out

0:42:16.610 --> 0:42:18.469
<v Speaker 3>and buy matching sweatshirts.

0:42:18.070 --> 0:42:20.570
<v Speaker 2>Of that new named Lake. I would never do it.

0:42:20.570 --> 0:42:23.130
<v Speaker 2>That seems lame as hell. I would never do it.

0:42:23.219 --> 0:42:26.440
<v Speaker 2>And I, and I don't necessarily know how much I

0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:28.700
<v Speaker 2>would agree with it. I didn't want to be political.

0:42:28.739 --> 0:42:30.580
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't meaning to be political at all. I think

0:42:30.620 --> 0:42:33.190
<v Speaker 2>you knew there was some sort of politics attached to it.

0:42:33.219 --> 0:42:33.379
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:37.950
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, A CEO wears a Lake America sweatshirt that's

0:42:38.130 --> 0:42:41.850
<v Speaker 2>AI generated for a photo for their social media profile

0:42:42.010 --> 0:42:44.770
<v Speaker 2>and you're firing them. I don't know. Maybe these people

0:42:44.790 --> 0:42:47.150
<v Speaker 2>who say woke to is, is, is coming around, have

0:42:47.190 --> 0:42:50.000
<v Speaker 2>something going on, please. I didn't, we can't take this.

0:42:50.180 --> 0:42:52.520
<v Speaker 2>We can't do, you have to reject this. You have

0:42:52.540 --> 0:42:54.799
<v Speaker 2>to reject it more so than we did with the

0:42:54.840 --> 0:42:58.020
<v Speaker 2>first time around because that craziness, you know, really took

0:42:58.060 --> 0:42:59.950
<v Speaker 2>hold for a while and we just got past it.

0:43:00.510 --> 0:43:02.489
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think that a CEO should be fired

0:43:02.530 --> 0:43:04.770
<v Speaker 2>for a Lake America sweatshirt, but tell me what you think.

0:43:04.830 --> 0:43:09.350
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you agree, disagree. Send your dispatch to thenewsjunkie.com. More importantly,

0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:29.360
<v Speaker 13>weather we've had since probably, I don't know, would you

0:44:29.410 --> 0:44:30.489
<v Speaker 13>say like March maybe?

0:44:30.510 --> 0:44:32.770
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was nice. It was like a little bit

0:44:32.790 --> 0:44:35.690
<v Speaker 2>of a cool breeze going on. Summer seems to be

0:44:35.730 --> 0:44:38.290
<v Speaker 2>kind of in the rear view a little bit, I guess.

0:44:39.020 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it was awesome.

0:44:39.980 --> 0:44:40.339
<v Speaker 1>It was good.

0:44:40.360 --> 0:44:42.319
<v Speaker 13>It was a really good weekend, busy weekend, but.

0:44:42.380 --> 0:44:44.240
<v Speaker 7>But no, it was good. It's good to be back today.

0:44:44.340 --> 0:44:47.380
<v Speaker 2>You have any life hacks that have, that have, do

0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:49.660
<v Speaker 2>you have any life hacks, Amy, that have changed your

0:44:49.700 --> 0:44:51.680
<v Speaker 2>life in any way? Like something you learned and you're like, ah,

0:44:51.980 --> 0:44:54.180
<v Speaker 2>after I learned this, I said earlier, and this is

0:44:54.219 --> 0:44:56.610
<v Speaker 2>the easiest, most shooing one. I was like, Get a

0:44:56.640 --> 0:44:59.890
<v Speaker 2>Costco membership. It's absolutely worth it, even just for the gasoline.

0:44:59.930 --> 0:45:02.810
<v Speaker 2>Somebody told me, get a Costco membership, Sean. And I said,

0:45:03.070 --> 0:45:04.469
<v Speaker 2>I don't need it. I don't have enough people in

0:45:04.510 --> 0:45:07.080
<v Speaker 2>this house, right? We don't need enough stuff. Got it?

0:45:07.290 --> 0:45:10.870
<v Speaker 2>There's so many great deals. It's, like, amazing. Or BJ's

0:45:10.930 --> 0:45:14.529
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. Like, get whatever membership site thing. Somebody said

0:45:14.570 --> 0:45:17.210
<v Speaker 2>BJ's has the best gas prices. Get that. You know

0:45:17.230 --> 0:45:19.690
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? It's a great, great life hack. Has

0:45:19.730 --> 0:45:21.250
<v Speaker 2>anything changed your life like that?

0:45:21.770 --> 0:45:22.890
<v Speaker 7>I do Sam's club actually.

0:45:22.989 --> 0:45:25.330
<v Speaker 13>And so I go get my gas at Sam's club

0:45:25.410 --> 0:45:28.470
<v Speaker 13>and then I actually pay, there's like a delivery fee

0:45:28.489 --> 0:45:29.060
<v Speaker 13>that you can.

0:45:28.960 --> 0:45:29.840
<v Speaker 7>Pay for the year.

0:45:29.860 --> 0:45:32.200
<v Speaker 13>And so then I just go on and it's actually,

0:45:32.239 --> 0:45:34.100
<v Speaker 13>this is good. So this is my life hack because

0:45:34.140 --> 0:45:37.020
<v Speaker 13>if I go into Sam's club, I will spend twice

0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:39.359
<v Speaker 13>as much money as if I'm like, okay, I know

0:45:39.380 --> 0:45:41.219
<v Speaker 13>what I need. And so then I just go and

0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:43.750
<v Speaker 13>I'm like, okay, I need laundry detergent. I need, you know,

0:45:43.790 --> 0:45:46.550
<v Speaker 13>like just like the toilet paper, I need paper towels.

0:45:46.830 --> 0:45:48.110
<v Speaker 13>And then I just go in and I click all

0:45:48.130 --> 0:45:49.810
<v Speaker 13>the things I need and then they'll deliver it like

0:45:49.830 --> 0:45:50.270
<v Speaker 13>the next day.

0:45:50.650 --> 0:45:52.690
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know. But then you don't buy the random

0:45:52.910 --> 0:45:57.520
<v Speaker 2>boxes of stuff that you see in the aisles. I'm like, whoa,

0:45:57.580 --> 0:46:01.060
<v Speaker 2>look at all those batteries. I didn't even know I

0:46:01.100 --> 0:46:04.060
<v Speaker 2>needed this. Yeah, right.

0:46:04.120 --> 0:46:06.000
<v Speaker 7>Now I do.

0:46:06.060 --> 0:46:08.820
<v Speaker 2>Do we need $ 59 worth of batteries? I'm like, yeah,

0:46:08.860 --> 0:46:12.900
<v Speaker 2>I think we do. No, you don't. Garth Brooks, we

0:46:12.960 --> 0:46:17.130
<v Speaker 2>both went this weekend. I went on Friday. He was

0:46:17.190 --> 0:46:20.489
<v Speaker 2>really good. What a performer he is. He has so

0:46:20.530 --> 0:46:22.430
<v Speaker 2>many hits and he reminds you how many hits he

0:46:22.469 --> 0:46:24.129
<v Speaker 2>has when you see him live because that dude just

0:46:24.310 --> 0:46:30.080
<v Speaker 2>keeps playing songs. And it is one of the most

0:46:30.540 --> 0:46:33.580
<v Speaker 2>sing along type concerts I've ever been to in my

0:46:33.620 --> 0:46:37.460
<v Speaker 2>life because, you know, people love a good Garth Brooks song.

0:46:37.540 --> 0:46:41.530
<v Speaker 2>And every person in that arena knew absolutely every word.

0:46:41.550 --> 0:46:42.830
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever seen him live, Amy?

0:46:43.550 --> 0:46:43.910
<v Speaker 1>I have.

0:46:43.989 --> 0:46:46.890
<v Speaker 13>So actually, I saw him at the Citrus Bowl the

0:46:46.930 --> 0:46:48.259
<v Speaker 13>last time he was in town.

0:46:48.989 --> 0:46:49.839
<v Speaker 7>And then we went and.

0:46:49.860 --> 0:46:54.860
<v Speaker 13>Saw him up in Gainesville. That was when he was

0:46:54.880 --> 0:46:57.500
<v Speaker 13>doing stadium tours. We saw him in Gainesville. And that

0:46:57.540 --> 0:46:59.550
<v Speaker 13>was actually cool because it was right after Tom Petty

0:46:59.570 --> 0:47:03.050
<v Speaker 13>had passed. And so he played like a Tom Petty medley.

0:47:03.070 --> 0:47:04.750
<v Speaker 2>Which I thought was very cool.

0:47:04.830 --> 0:47:06.450
<v Speaker 7>So I guess he tries to do that.

0:47:06.510 --> 0:47:08.180
<v Speaker 13>Like if he goes to the town of like there

0:47:08.200 --> 0:47:09.960
<v Speaker 13>was a famous singer who came from that town, he'll

0:47:10.000 --> 0:47:12.520
<v Speaker 13>try to do like a little medley of that person.

0:47:12.640 --> 0:47:12.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:47:12.980 --> 0:47:16.450
<v Speaker 13>So that was awesome to hear him do some Tom Petty. Um,

0:47:16.489 --> 0:47:18.390
<v Speaker 13>and then I saw him once in Jacksonville too, at

0:47:18.410 --> 0:47:20.910
<v Speaker 13>the Jag stadium. So anyway, he just, you guys, he's

0:47:20.930 --> 0:47:23.960
<v Speaker 13>like the consummate performer, isn't he? He just knows how

0:47:24.000 --> 0:47:25.400
<v Speaker 13>to put on a good show and he makes it

0:47:25.540 --> 0:47:27.819
<v Speaker 13>feel like, like, you know, he's doing the show after

0:47:27.860 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 13>show after show, but he makes you feel like, like

0:47:30.260 --> 0:47:31.510
<v Speaker 13>this is the best show he's ever done.

0:47:31.530 --> 0:47:32.410
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure.

0:47:32.430 --> 0:47:32.569
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:47:33.350 --> 0:47:35.830
<v Speaker 2>What songs did he play? Did he play any covers

0:47:35.910 --> 0:47:39.830
<v Speaker 2>during the Saturday show? Yeah, he came out. Oh, he

0:47:39.850 --> 0:47:41.110
<v Speaker 2>did Piano Man.

0:47:41.130 --> 0:47:43.930
<v Speaker 3>He did a little You Never Even Call Me By

0:47:43.969 --> 0:47:46.630
<v Speaker 3>My Name, which was very exciting for us because I

0:47:46.670 --> 0:47:50.260
<v Speaker 3>love that song. Most of the sets were the same,

0:47:50.680 --> 0:47:54.859
<v Speaker 3>although Ashley, my wife, was really worried because she saw

0:47:54.880 --> 0:47:57.360
<v Speaker 3>the set list for your show, Sean, the Friday night,

0:47:57.920 --> 0:48:00.160
<v Speaker 3>and he left off standing outside the fire, and that's

0:48:00.180 --> 0:48:03.140
<v Speaker 3>like her favorite song. uh but he he did them

0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:05.540
<v Speaker 3>the other two nights so oh nice lucked out.

0:48:05.860 --> 0:48:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh we missed out on that one but when it

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:10.279
<v Speaker 2>got quiet at one point it's just like i was

0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:14.070
<v Speaker 2>drunk the day my mom got out of prison yeah

0:48:14.340 --> 0:48:17.730
<v Speaker 2>oh like everybody just starts singing along in the whole

0:48:17.770 --> 0:48:19.310
<v Speaker 2>place it was fun it was it was a very

0:48:19.330 --> 0:48:19.830
<v Speaker 2>very good time.

0:48:19.790 --> 0:48:22.930
<v Speaker 7>I don't know that song oh it's it's good.

0:48:22.670 --> 0:48:25.750
<v Speaker 3>Make that up No, that's David Allen Coe.

0:48:27.489 --> 0:48:29.480
<v Speaker 2>David Allen Coe has some songs that you want to

0:48:29.500 --> 0:48:33.680
<v Speaker 2>stay away from, but that one is a particular country

0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:34.620
<v Speaker 2>jukebox jam.

0:48:34.680 --> 0:48:38.670
<v Speaker 3>Some of his catalog is quite problematic, but there's the

0:48:38.850 --> 0:48:40.790
<v Speaker 3>one song that.

0:48:40.710 --> 0:48:43.170
<v Speaker 2>Stood the test of time somehow. Which I think they

0:48:43.210 --> 0:48:45.390
<v Speaker 2>called the perfect country western song.

0:48:45.410 --> 0:48:45.649
<v Speaker 8>Yes.

0:48:46.170 --> 0:48:49.580
<v Speaker 2>At some point in the song itself. Written by Steve Goodman.

0:48:49.600 --> 0:48:51.360
<v Speaker 13>What is that song actually called? It's not called I

0:48:51.400 --> 0:48:53.080
<v Speaker 13>Was Drunk the Day My Mom Got Out of Prison.

0:48:53.500 --> 0:48:55.739
<v Speaker 2>You never even called me by my name. Yeah, that's it.

0:48:55.940 --> 0:48:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh, okay.

0:48:56.610 --> 0:48:58.570
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you never it's it's a good it's a damn

<v Speaker 13>Go listen to it i probably know it i just

<v Speaker 13>didn't know that's what it was one day you guys

0:49:03.410 --> 0:49:05.219
<v Speaker 13>want to sing a little bit of it for me i've.

0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:10.500
<v Speaker 2>Done enough damage here okay one day we'll all have

0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:13.890
<v Speaker 2>some margaritas together and we'll sing it at the top

0:49:13.930 --> 0:49:16.770
<v Speaker 2>of our lungs karaoke style all right we've got to

0:49:16.790 --> 0:49:18.730
<v Speaker 2>make that happen but that would be awesome for right

0:49:18.750 --> 0:49:20.880
<v Speaker 2>now we're back at it here on a monday what's

0:49:20.969 --> 0:49:23.709
<v Speaker 2>the big news that greeted you when you sat down

0:49:23.750 --> 0:49:25.350
<v Speaker 2>at your desk today.

0:49:24.950 --> 0:49:27.250
<v Speaker 13>Amy Well, at least in our newsroom, we were super

0:49:27.370 --> 0:49:29.830
<v Speaker 13>excited about the big rocket.

0:49:29.550 --> 0:49:32.520
<v Speaker 7>Launch today in Boca Chica, Texas. I love just saying

0:49:32.540 --> 0:49:34.380
<v Speaker 7>the name Boca Chica. It makes me happy.

0:49:34.940 --> 0:49:38.380
<v Speaker 13>But we're talking about Starship. This is the giant rocket.

0:49:38.480 --> 0:49:42.000
<v Speaker 13>It is the largest rocket in the world. Right now,

0:49:42.160 --> 0:49:44.670
<v Speaker 13>it is still launching from Texas, but will eventually be

0:49:44.710 --> 0:49:46.969
<v Speaker 13>moving here to Florida. So it'll be launching from our

0:49:47.050 --> 0:49:51.129
<v Speaker 13>own space coast. This rocket, it was going further than

0:49:51.790 --> 0:49:55.450
<v Speaker 13>they have gone before with this particular launch. Their goal

0:49:55.489 --> 0:49:58.410
<v Speaker 13>was to get it in orbit, try to get it

0:49:58.450 --> 0:50:01.050
<v Speaker 13>to do at least six orbits, and then to launch

0:50:01.250 --> 0:50:05.130
<v Speaker 13>some Starlink satellites, which it did successfully do that. It

0:50:05.150 --> 0:50:06.750
<v Speaker 13>was only going to be up for 10 hours, so

0:50:06.810 --> 0:50:09.930
<v Speaker 13>it's still going right now. It should be back. It's

0:50:10.110 --> 0:50:14.380
<v Speaker 13>going to actually splash down in the Gulf. Should be

0:50:14.450 --> 0:50:17.280
<v Speaker 13>happening probably around like maybe 8 or 9 o'clock tonight.

0:50:18.500 --> 0:50:20.580
<v Speaker 13>And but yeah, so far it's been successful. They did

0:50:20.620 --> 0:50:22.860
<v Speaker 13>lose like an engine, I think, on the way up.

0:50:23.420 --> 0:50:25.799
<v Speaker 13>But despite losing the engine, they felt like they were

0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:27.239
<v Speaker 13>still able to get everything out of it.

0:50:27.280 --> 0:50:27.750
<v Speaker 7>They wanted to.

0:50:27.780 --> 0:50:29.980
<v Speaker 13>You guys listen to this is so crazy. This thing

0:50:30.020 --> 0:50:32.200
<v Speaker 13>has 33 engines on it.

0:50:32.219 --> 0:50:32.880
<v Speaker 2>That's wild.

0:50:32.960 --> 0:50:35.200
<v Speaker 7>And it makes it 700 times more powerful.

0:50:36.590 --> 0:50:40.370
<v Speaker 13>Powerful than a standard commercial aircraft.

0:50:40.710 --> 0:50:43.550
<v Speaker 2>It's big. When you look at that thing, it kind

0:50:43.590 --> 0:50:46.439
<v Speaker 2>of looks like Amy, when we were watching it this morning,

0:50:46.460 --> 0:50:49.500
<v Speaker 2>when we started the show or we're about to get

0:50:49.540 --> 0:50:53.069
<v Speaker 2>the show started, it kind of looks like it shouldn't fly.

0:50:53.600 --> 0:50:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Like it looks so large, like there shouldn't be a

0:50:56.940 --> 0:50:58.899
<v Speaker 2>way to get this thing off the ground, but they did.

0:50:58.940 --> 0:50:59.890
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty cool to see.

0:50:59.950 --> 0:51:01.989
<v Speaker 3>It makes sense to hear that, you know, when you

0:51:02.030 --> 0:51:04.610
<v Speaker 3>have 33 engines, you could stand to lose one.

0:51:04.969 --> 0:51:07.950
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you still got a whole buttload of engines.

0:51:08.540 --> 0:51:09.180
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah.

0:51:09.200 --> 0:51:10.460
<v Speaker 2>Back in the day, I think they only put one

0:51:10.540 --> 0:51:14.300
<v Speaker 2>on them. They only put in now losers. They've changed

0:51:14.340 --> 0:51:16.120
<v Speaker 2>the game up a little bit. We've been watching that, too.

0:51:16.140 --> 0:51:17.890
<v Speaker 2>It's been very cool to see what else is grabbing

0:51:17.910 --> 0:51:18.590
<v Speaker 2>your attention.

0:51:19.010 --> 0:51:21.810
<v Speaker 13>So along that same front, we should have our first

0:51:22.130 --> 0:51:24.209
<v Speaker 13>crewed launch here that we haven't had in quite a while.

0:51:24.250 --> 0:51:25.370
<v Speaker 7>That should be Thursday.

0:51:25.770 --> 0:51:28.250
<v Speaker 13>One of the astronauts on board is actually from Central Florida,

0:51:28.270 --> 0:51:28.950
<v Speaker 13>which is pretty cool.

0:51:28.969 --> 0:51:30.010
<v Speaker 7>His name is Luke Delaney.

0:51:30.739 --> 0:51:33.860
<v Speaker 13>He graduated from Deltona High School, went on to the

0:51:33.880 --> 0:51:37.700
<v Speaker 13>University of North Florida. So he will be on this

0:51:37.760 --> 0:51:40.219
<v Speaker 13>particular mission again Thursday. That's Crew 13. This is a

0:51:40.260 --> 0:51:41.990
<v Speaker 13>mission that is going to be going to the International

0:51:42.030 --> 0:51:44.890
<v Speaker 13>Space Station. So it's really a busy week here. And

0:51:44.930 --> 0:51:46.710
<v Speaker 13>then the other thing happening today, I just want to

0:51:46.750 --> 0:51:47.890
<v Speaker 13>mention it because I think.

0:51:48.290 --> 0:51:50.180
<v Speaker 7>It feels like this was just yesterday, but it was

0:51:50.239 --> 0:51:51.439
<v Speaker 7>actually two years ago.

0:51:52.060 --> 0:51:55.680
<v Speaker 13>That um butch wilmore and sonny williams got stuck they

0:51:55.700 --> 0:51:57.799
<v Speaker 13>went up on that boeing mission you guys remember this

0:51:57.840 --> 0:51:59.020
<v Speaker 13>and it was like how are we going to get

0:51:59.060 --> 0:52:01.469
<v Speaker 13>them back and elon musk to the rescue and they

0:52:01.510 --> 0:52:03.750
<v Speaker 13>ended up having to come back on a on a

0:52:03.870 --> 0:52:06.629
<v Speaker 13>you know crew capsule with spacex instead of coming back

0:52:06.710 --> 0:52:08.690
<v Speaker 13>on boeing because they didn't feel like the boeing capsule

0:52:08.730 --> 0:52:12.350
<v Speaker 13>was safe well they're actually meeting today to talk about

0:52:12.430 --> 0:52:15.200
<v Speaker 13>what's next because you guys that was two years ago

0:52:15.260 --> 0:52:19.200
<v Speaker 13>wow Can you believe that's been two years since that happened? Remember,

0:52:19.219 --> 0:52:21.080
<v Speaker 13>it was like a day-to-day thing. It's like, oh my gosh,

0:52:21.100 --> 0:52:23.580
<v Speaker 13>they're still up there. They're still stuck up there. Remember,

0:52:23.739 --> 0:52:27.390
<v Speaker 13>Sunny didn't even have a spacesuit that she could come

0:52:27.430 --> 0:52:30.969
<v Speaker 13>home in because they were coming back on a different aircraft,

0:52:30.989 --> 0:52:33.590
<v Speaker 13>so they had to send a backup spacesuit to her.

0:52:33.530 --> 0:52:34.470
<v Speaker 7>So she could come home.

0:52:34.750 --> 0:52:39.170
<v Speaker 13>That was only supposed to be an eight- to ten-day mission,

0:52:39.230 --> 0:52:41.240
<v Speaker 13>that Boeing mission, and they ended up being up there

0:52:41.280 --> 0:52:42.680
<v Speaker 13>for nine months.

0:52:42.700 --> 0:52:46.970
<v Speaker 2>Three-hour tour, yeah. I mean, that's... It's crazy how much

0:52:47.350 --> 0:52:51.330
<v Speaker 2>in the last couple of decades the space industry has changed. And,

0:52:51.350 --> 0:52:55.890
<v Speaker 2>you know, the private, in air quotes, companies like SpaceX

0:52:55.950 --> 0:53:00.040
<v Speaker 2>that have entered that area and kind of the future

0:53:00.060 --> 0:53:02.319
<v Speaker 2>of reusing the rockets. Now, I don't think that this

0:53:02.460 --> 0:53:05.080
<v Speaker 2>one is supposed to land and be reused, the one

0:53:05.100 --> 0:53:07.700
<v Speaker 2>that they're doing today. But maybe eventually they'll be able

0:53:07.739 --> 0:53:10.680
<v Speaker 2>to do that, too. And I'm just really impressed. There's

0:53:10.700 --> 0:53:11.940
<v Speaker 2>a lot of big brains at work there. And I

0:53:11.940 --> 0:53:13.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know about you, but I find that to be

0:53:13.580 --> 0:53:14.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty amazing.

0:53:14.760 --> 0:53:16.480
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, very big brains, which makes me think of, did

0:53:16.500 --> 0:53:20.630
<v Speaker 13>you guys by chance watch the John Morgan's 60-second video

0:53:20.650 --> 0:53:22.910
<v Speaker 13>that he put out late last week about people who

0:53:22.989 --> 0:53:23.710
<v Speaker 13>are behind all?

0:53:23.730 --> 0:53:24.850
<v Speaker 7>Okay, I'm going to send it.

0:53:24.790 --> 0:53:25.589
<v Speaker 2>To you after the show.

0:53:25.790 --> 0:53:28.430
<v Speaker 3>I do think his branding on that is quite fun

0:53:28.670 --> 0:53:30.969
<v Speaker 3>because the name John in 60 seconds just works.

0:53:31.219 --> 0:53:33.399
<v Speaker 2>Ha, I didn't even, okay. Yeah, I haven't seen that yet.

0:53:33.460 --> 0:53:35.080
<v Speaker 7>It's really good. I'll send it to you. Remind me

0:53:35.120 --> 0:53:36.959
<v Speaker 7>after the show, I'll send it to you. It's good stuff.

0:53:36.980 --> 0:53:37.540
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:53:37.760 --> 0:53:38.060
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:53:38.680 --> 0:53:40.180
<v Speaker 2>Anything else grabbing your attention?

0:53:40.660 --> 0:53:41.669
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, a couple other things.

0:53:42.030 --> 0:53:44.610
<v Speaker 13>We're following this story out of Osceola County pretty closely.

0:53:44.690 --> 0:53:48.330
<v Speaker 13>This is over the weekend. A two-year-old was found wandering

0:53:48.430 --> 0:53:52.190
<v Speaker 13>in the road in Osceola County. He was a little

0:53:52.210 --> 0:53:55.610
<v Speaker 13>boy wearing a diaper and a little tank top, crying

0:53:56.150 --> 0:53:59.780
<v Speaker 13>all alone. This driver just happened to see, thank goodness,

0:54:00.180 --> 0:54:01.500
<v Speaker 13>that he was in the middle of the road.

0:54:01.560 --> 0:54:06.090
<v Speaker 7>She stops. She picks him up. She calls 911.

0:54:06.090 --> 0:54:09.060
<v Speaker 13>So Osceola County deputies then come to the neighborhood and

0:54:09.120 --> 0:54:11.580
<v Speaker 13>they're trying to figure out where this child came from.

0:54:11.620 --> 0:54:11.739
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:54:11.760 --> 0:54:13.980
<v Speaker 13>They're going door to door, knocking on doors. They finally

0:54:14.020 --> 0:54:17.089
<v Speaker 13>figure out, OK, the child came from this particular house. Well,

0:54:17.110 --> 0:54:19.870
<v Speaker 13>they get to that house and no one's home. And

0:54:19.969 --> 0:54:22.069
<v Speaker 13>so now they're like, OK, now we have to find

0:54:22.090 --> 0:54:24.310
<v Speaker 13>the people who live here. So they did some digging.

0:54:24.390 --> 0:54:26.160
<v Speaker 13>They figured out who the people were who lived in

0:54:26.200 --> 0:54:28.830
<v Speaker 13>the house. They finally got a hold of the father.

0:54:28.910 --> 0:54:32.980
<v Speaker 13>The father of the child answers the phone and ended

0:54:33.020 --> 0:54:33.940
<v Speaker 13>up hanging up on them.

0:54:34.200 --> 0:54:34.840
<v Speaker 10>Oh, God.

0:54:35.000 --> 0:54:37.080
<v Speaker 13>And then they waited at the house for about an hour,

0:54:37.160 --> 0:54:39.360
<v Speaker 13>and the parents finally came home. So those parents are

0:54:39.400 --> 0:54:42.820
<v Speaker 13>now under arrest. They have been charged with child neglect.

0:54:43.610 --> 0:54:48.950
<v Speaker 13>And just a sad scene there. So the first gentleman's

0:54:48.969 --> 0:54:52.830
<v Speaker 13>name is John, John Baptiste. And so he's under arrest.

0:54:52.870 --> 0:54:56.759
<v Speaker 13>And then the mother, 32-year-old Stacia McMillan, Um, it says

0:54:56.780 --> 0:54:59.700
<v Speaker 13>that they were uncooperative, um, that didn't want to, I guess,

0:54:59.780 --> 0:55:00.700
<v Speaker 13>answer questions.

0:55:01.420 --> 0:55:04.070
<v Speaker 7>Um, and just, I mean, thankfully this child is okay.

0:55:04.090 --> 0:55:05.770
<v Speaker 7>You can imagine how much worse this could have been.

0:55:05.810 --> 0:55:08.049
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course. A little kid that young, just kind

0:55:08.090 --> 0:55:11.110
<v Speaker 2>of wandering around out there. Uh, absolutely.

0:55:11.270 --> 0:55:11.710
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:55:11.750 --> 0:55:12.050
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:55:12.380 --> 0:55:14.540
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead. No, no, you go ahead.

0:55:15.210 --> 0:55:17.850
<v Speaker 13>Well, we had a bunch of motorcycle accidents this weekend,

0:55:17.989 --> 0:55:21.649
<v Speaker 13>and most of them were deadly. So anyway, just a reminder, again,

0:55:21.710 --> 0:55:23.790
<v Speaker 13>to watch for these motorcyclists. Some of them were the

0:55:23.830 --> 0:55:27.010
<v Speaker 13>fault of the motorcyclists. Others were the fault of the driver.

0:55:27.300 --> 0:55:29.680
<v Speaker 13>There was one gentleman who ran into the back of

0:55:29.719 --> 0:55:34.080
<v Speaker 13>a motorcyclist and killed the motorcyclist and ended up being

0:55:34.140 --> 0:55:39.400
<v Speaker 13>seriously injured himself. We had a 41-year-old Winter Garden man

0:55:39.960 --> 0:55:43.969
<v Speaker 13>who was killed. seriously injured. It's just like, it was

0:55:44.010 --> 0:55:46.250
<v Speaker 13>a long list. Like we were going through them this morning.

0:55:46.670 --> 0:55:49.650
<v Speaker 13>And then this weekend, as I was driving down I-4,

0:55:50.130 --> 0:55:52.710
<v Speaker 13>I saw a motorcyclist. He was on a sport bike.

0:55:52.730 --> 0:55:54.489
<v Speaker 13>So not like a, not like a Harley, but a

0:55:54.489 --> 0:55:57.799
<v Speaker 13>sport bike. And traffic was really slow. And this guy

0:55:57.840 --> 0:56:01.400
<v Speaker 13>was like, kind of like, Going down in between lanes

0:56:01.480 --> 0:56:02.020
<v Speaker 13>of cars?

0:56:02.160 --> 0:56:02.859
<v Speaker 10>You know what I mean?

0:56:02.890 --> 0:56:05.569
<v Speaker 7>Kind of like swerving in and out of traffic.

0:56:05.790 --> 0:56:08.370
<v Speaker 2>There's a name for that when they go in between

0:56:08.570 --> 0:56:10.670
<v Speaker 2>the cars and traffic. I think they're allowed to do

0:56:10.690 --> 0:56:13.319
<v Speaker 2>it in some places, but I don't know the rules.

0:56:14.570 --> 0:56:16.380
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I don't know. It just seemed really dangerous to me.

0:56:16.440 --> 0:56:17.259
<v Speaker 7>It wasn't like a lot.

0:56:17.300 --> 0:56:18.700
<v Speaker 13>It was like it's so that, you know, all the

0:56:18.780 --> 0:56:21.259
<v Speaker 13>obviously the cars go. It's traffic was moving slowly because

0:56:21.300 --> 0:56:23.460
<v Speaker 13>it's I-4 as it always is. And and he was

0:56:23.480 --> 0:56:25.880
<v Speaker 13>like zooming down the lanes and then like just cutting,

0:56:26.120 --> 0:56:27.540
<v Speaker 13>you know, in front of people. And I was just

0:56:27.580 --> 0:56:29.580
<v Speaker 13>thinking the whole time, like, oh, my gosh, this is not.

0:56:29.500 --> 0:56:29.860
<v Speaker 7>Going to end.

0:56:29.960 --> 0:56:32.340
<v Speaker 2>I know. Yeah. What's the name of that when the

0:56:32.480 --> 0:56:36.729
<v Speaker 2>motorcyclists drive splitting lanes? People are saying lane splitting. Oh, maybe.

0:56:36.770 --> 0:56:36.969
<v Speaker 14>Yeah.

0:56:38.440 --> 0:56:41.969
<v Speaker 3>I was going to say something mean because it just

0:56:41.989 --> 0:56:44.009
<v Speaker 3>always infuriates me when I see it happen. But I

0:56:44.050 --> 0:56:46.649
<v Speaker 3>do think you're right that in some states, if there's

0:56:46.670 --> 0:56:50.719
<v Speaker 3>a huge backup, the motorcyclists are allowed to use the

0:56:50.760 --> 0:56:54.919
<v Speaker 3>shoulder or go in between the lanes of cars to

0:56:55.600 --> 0:56:56.460
<v Speaker 3>get past the backup.

0:56:56.950 --> 0:57:00.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Nathan, for you, with Nathan Fielder one time, tried

0:57:00.280 --> 0:57:04.060
<v Speaker 2>to do an Uber competitor for when there was backups

0:57:04.100 --> 0:57:06.180
<v Speaker 2>like that, and then he would get you out of

0:57:06.219 --> 0:57:07.860
<v Speaker 2>your car and put you on the back of his

0:57:07.920 --> 0:57:10.160
<v Speaker 2>motorcycle and then drive in the middle of the lanes

0:57:10.660 --> 0:57:14.500
<v Speaker 2>to get people faster to their destination. Didn't really catch on, unfortunately,

0:57:14.780 --> 0:57:18.500
<v Speaker 2>for him. But would get you there very, very fast

0:57:18.560 --> 0:57:19.480
<v Speaker 2>if you really wanted to.

0:57:20.760 --> 0:57:22.200
<v Speaker 7>We also have a road rage situation.

0:57:22.220 --> 0:57:24.220
<v Speaker 13>And this was also another good reminder while we're talking

0:57:24.240 --> 0:57:26.740
<v Speaker 13>about motorcycle crashes. We had a road rage situation over

0:57:26.780 --> 0:57:30.200
<v Speaker 13>the weekend where someone pulled out a gun and shot

0:57:30.320 --> 0:57:31.180
<v Speaker 13>at another driver.

0:57:31.200 --> 0:57:34.000
<v Speaker 7>And then the other driver pulled out his gun and

0:57:34.060 --> 0:57:36.660
<v Speaker 7>shot back. Totally random.

0:57:37.030 --> 0:57:39.110
<v Speaker 13>So it was just a reminder to me, like, I

0:57:39.150 --> 0:57:41.310
<v Speaker 13>don't care how mad you are in traffic or somebody

0:57:41.330 --> 0:57:43.650
<v Speaker 13>is doing something dumb or cuts you off or whatever.

0:57:43.710 --> 0:57:45.910
<v Speaker 7>I just feel like you have to be. We're to

0:57:45.950 --> 0:57:47.090
<v Speaker 7>the point now where it's like you.

0:57:47.030 --> 0:57:49.650
<v Speaker 13>Just don't know like what somebody is doing in their

0:57:49.670 --> 0:57:52.450
<v Speaker 13>vehicle or if they have a weapon or, you know, people.

0:57:52.480 --> 0:57:54.220
<v Speaker 7>It's like it's it's scary.

0:57:54.520 --> 0:57:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, what year is this?

0:57:55.900 --> 0:57:57.520
<v Speaker 7>Two people who get into a road rage with each

0:57:57.560 --> 0:57:58.320
<v Speaker 7>other both have guns.

0:57:58.420 --> 0:57:58.860
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:57:59.100 --> 0:58:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Like a bunch of cowboys at the OK Corral. Everybody's

0:58:01.880 --> 0:58:04.390
<v Speaker 2>just there's a shoot off going on. My God.

0:58:05.650 --> 0:58:06.030
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:58:06.070 --> 0:58:09.590

<v Speaker 2>was thwarted over the weekend. We got to get to

0:59:03.720 --> 0:59:08.430
<v Speaker 2>this Cornell situation. A woman got attacked by a zombie,

0:59:08.750 --> 0:59:11.360
<v Speaker 2>a zombie person. maybe we'll work that to the front

0:59:11.380 --> 0:59:13.520
<v Speaker 2>of the line we'll do this zombie attack story it's

0:59:13.540 --> 0:59:27.380
<v Speaker 2>coming up next on the news junkie Bring it to you,

0:59:27.420 --> 0:59:32.490
<v Speaker 2>your feedback, your dispatches, your emails Even this zombie attack

0:59:32.550 --> 0:59:37.010
<v Speaker 2>story in a moment Real quick though Real quick, I

0:59:37.050 --> 0:59:39.470
<v Speaker 2>wanted to work this in. I heard the player for

0:59:39.510 --> 0:59:44.200
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys. Yes, indeed. The Dallas Cowboys, friends. We're in

0:59:44.240 --> 0:59:51.100
<v Speaker 2>the world of sports, everybody. About time. The Dallas Cowboys.

0:59:51.680 --> 0:59:56.930
<v Speaker 2>Tight end, Jake Ferguson. He goes out. I don't know

0:59:56.950 --> 0:59:58.670
<v Speaker 2>if it was this weekend he did or last weekend,

0:59:59.330 --> 1:00:04.570
<v Speaker 2>but after he scores a touchdown, he takes the football

1:00:04.870 --> 1:00:08.090
<v Speaker 2>and does a little celebration. And the Cowboys tight end,

1:00:08.130 --> 1:00:12.070
<v Speaker 2>Jake Ferguson, pretend to open up the football like a

1:00:12.130 --> 1:00:15.530
<v Speaker 2>beer and drink it. I mean, they said beer, but

1:00:16.050 --> 1:00:17.910
<v Speaker 2>literally it could have been anything. He just pretended to

1:00:18.090 --> 1:00:20.850
<v Speaker 2>open up the football and drink out of the football.

1:00:21.490 --> 1:00:23.050
<v Speaker 2>And he got fined $ 13, 611 for that by the NFL.

1:00:27.360 --> 1:00:29.870
<v Speaker 2>And I thought to myself, I go, so this guy

1:00:30.930 --> 1:00:34.650
<v Speaker 2>very likely pretended to open a football and have a

1:00:34.710 --> 1:00:38.390
<v Speaker 2>drink of it for his celebration on the field. And

1:00:38.410 --> 1:00:43.450
<v Speaker 2>he gets fined $ 13, 000 for doing this. And there's a

1:00:43.550 --> 1:00:46.370
<v Speaker 2>pretty good chance that the NFL said after that, well,

1:00:46.410 --> 1:00:49.300
<v Speaker 2>you know, that was repulsive. Right back after this is

1:00:49.340 --> 1:00:51.140
<v Speaker 2>they went to a Bud Light ad.

1:00:51.420 --> 1:00:51.980
<v Speaker 1>Sure.

1:00:52.200 --> 1:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Into a Michelob ad. I don't know if I know

1:00:57.110 --> 1:01:02.209
<v Speaker 2>anything that has more beer advertising. Then a football game

1:01:02.270 --> 1:01:05.330
<v Speaker 2>and they find the football player for pretending to open

1:01:05.370 --> 1:01:08.090
<v Speaker 2>the football as a beer like it was out of bounds.

1:01:08.190 --> 1:01:11.930
<v Speaker 3>They called it an offensive demonstration and could reasonably be

1:01:11.990 --> 1:01:14.180
<v Speaker 3>construed as being in poor taste.

1:01:14.600 --> 1:01:14.960
<v Speaker 1>What?

1:01:16.800 --> 1:01:19.540
<v Speaker 2>I thought the only thing that was banned was like

1:01:20.180 --> 1:01:23.720
<v Speaker 2>group celebrations and they like you couldn't do them for

1:01:23.780 --> 1:01:27.080
<v Speaker 2>too long and stuff. Because for a while, football was

1:01:27.120 --> 1:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>doing the icky shuffle, and you'd score a touchdown, and

1:01:30.860 --> 1:01:32.880
<v Speaker 2>then there'd be like a five-minute break while everybody did

1:01:32.900 --> 1:01:35.900
<v Speaker 2>an organized dance or whatever. Playing bongos. There was one

1:01:35.940 --> 1:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>guy that played bongos. I miss that. There was somebody

1:01:38.960 --> 1:01:42.860
<v Speaker 2>who was scoring touchdowns, and then they put a Sharpie

1:01:43.300 --> 1:01:46.430
<v Speaker 2>in the field goal goal post and then ripped it

1:01:46.550 --> 1:01:48.250
<v Speaker 2>out and then signed the football and threw it up

1:01:48.290 --> 1:01:50.710
<v Speaker 2>into the stands. Or somebody put a cell phone in

1:01:50.750 --> 1:01:53.570
<v Speaker 2>there one time and took a call and... So they've

1:01:53.590 --> 1:01:55.630
<v Speaker 2>done all this stuff, but to find a football player

1:01:55.670 --> 1:01:58.270
<v Speaker 2>for something you had said is in poor taste during

1:01:58.310 --> 1:01:59.190
<v Speaker 2>a football game.

1:01:59.370 --> 1:02:02.510
<v Speaker 3>Now, does it make any difference when I say that

1:02:03.210 --> 1:02:05.330
<v Speaker 3>the way he did it, he looked like he was

1:02:05.470 --> 1:02:06.530
<v Speaker 3>shotgunning the beer?

1:02:07.070 --> 1:02:10.790
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I don't take that any different. Does a

1:02:10.830 --> 1:02:16.110
<v Speaker 2>kid know what's going on? No. And if you're worried

1:02:16.130 --> 1:02:17.810
<v Speaker 2>about the kids during the NFL game, then why are

1:02:17.830 --> 1:02:20.710
<v Speaker 2>you taking all the alcohol money? They have more beer

1:02:20.730 --> 1:02:23.820
<v Speaker 2>commercials than anything else I can even think of. So

1:02:23.840 --> 1:02:26.270
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they're offended by beer. I don't know.

1:02:26.630 --> 1:02:29.790
<v Speaker 2>That seemed like one where I go, do this if

1:02:29.830 --> 1:02:32.390
<v Speaker 2>somebody does something actually over the line.

1:02:32.610 --> 1:02:35.650
<v Speaker 3>So they had one guy. The weird part also is

1:02:35.710 --> 1:02:37.520
<v Speaker 3>that two guys did it.

1:02:39.070 --> 1:02:42.060
<v Speaker 2>Only one of them had the football. Oh, and only

1:02:42.140 --> 1:02:44.100
<v Speaker 2>one of them got fine. But the guy who didn't

1:02:44.120 --> 1:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>have the football didn't get fine.

1:02:45.500 --> 1:02:49.170
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so. I'm only seeing Cowboys tight end

1:02:49.190 --> 1:02:52.030
<v Speaker 3>Jake Ferguson being fine. The 13, 6, 11, which is

1:02:52.070 --> 1:02:53.850
<v Speaker 3>such a weird number. Like, where did they come up

1:02:53.890 --> 1:02:55.990
<v Speaker 3>with 13, 6, 11?

1:02:55.990 --> 1:02:56.290
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:02:56.470 --> 1:03:00.600
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I don't think that the other guy got

1:03:00.640 --> 1:03:01.460
<v Speaker 3>any violation.

1:03:02.700 --> 1:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>That's such a specific amount. You're right. It's like, how

1:03:05.720 --> 1:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>much do I have to pay for this? 13,000. You're like, okay. Uh, 13,000.

1:03:10.880 --> 1:03:14.580
<v Speaker 2>Even no, no, no, no. $ 13, 611, sir.

1:03:14.720 --> 1:03:17.420
<v Speaker 3>Ferguson was not the only NFL player to receive a

1:03:17.500 --> 1:03:21.860
<v Speaker 3>fine for the same. So-called violation, San Francisco, 49ers, all

1:03:21.960 --> 1:03:25.670
<v Speaker 3>pro Kyle, Kyle juice.

1:03:26.210 --> 1:03:27.950
<v Speaker 2>I got you. Yeah.

1:03:27.970 --> 1:03:28.390
<v Speaker 1>Uh, juices.

1:03:28.410 --> 1:03:31.730
<v Speaker 3>His nickname has chugged juice boxes as his signature celebration

1:03:31.750 --> 1:03:34.020
<v Speaker 3>for But the league cracked down in week two and

1:03:34.060 --> 1:03:37.180
<v Speaker 3>fined the fullback for an offensive demonstration much like Ferg.

1:03:37.980 --> 1:03:42.640
<v Speaker 2>That's so weird. Deuce is a brave football nickname. There

1:03:42.700 --> 1:03:46.040
<v Speaker 2>is another guy who is the Deuce. Yeah, I understand that.

1:03:46.240 --> 1:03:53.260
<v Speaker 3>But in this case, it's because his last name is J-U-S-Z-C-Z-Y.

1:03:53.770 --> 1:03:55.830
<v Speaker 2>Two Z's. Holy cow.

1:03:55.870 --> 1:03:56.090
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

1:03:57.310 --> 1:04:00.470
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's Polish or something. Yes. Somewhere over there.

1:04:00.530 --> 1:04:00.790
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1:04:00.990 --> 1:04:03.390
<v Speaker 2>It's what happens a lot of times with those names. Um,

1:04:03.630 --> 1:04:05.950
<v Speaker 2>but I, I, God bless him. God bless them all.

1:04:05.970 --> 1:04:08.810
<v Speaker 2>I have a little fun moment like that. Celebrate your touchdown.

1:04:08.830 --> 1:04:10.950
<v Speaker 2>I hope it doesn't hurt you too bad, but it

1:04:10.990 --> 1:04:12.690
<v Speaker 2>seems silly to do that when you're going into a

1:04:12.710 --> 1:04:15.770
<v Speaker 2>bunch of commercials for, you know, for, uh, for, for

1:04:15.830 --> 1:04:18.450
<v Speaker 2>beer afterwards. Well, let's hear from this woman. She is

1:04:18.510 --> 1:04:23.010
<v Speaker 2>in Seattle. All right. In the Seattle area, Seattle, Washington, uh,

1:04:23.670 --> 1:04:26.310
<v Speaker 2>which I'm being told is run perfectly. There are no

1:04:26.350 --> 1:04:28.330
<v Speaker 2>problems there. They don't have a whole bunch of terrible

1:04:28.370 --> 1:04:31.690
<v Speaker 2>policies that have degraded life for most people living anywhere

1:04:31.730 --> 1:04:34.490
<v Speaker 2>near downtown Seattle. They don't have any problems with any

1:04:34.550 --> 1:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>hobo policies or any drug policies or housing. Everything's going very,

1:04:41.280 --> 1:04:44.920
<v Speaker 2>very well in Seattle. They've got all people from one

1:04:44.980 --> 1:04:47.940
<v Speaker 2>side in office and everything's going just swimmingly. That's why

1:04:47.980 --> 1:04:51.340
<v Speaker 2>this lady's talking about being attacked by a zombie. On

1:04:51.380 --> 1:04:53.550
<v Speaker 2>the streets. She's doing the interview that I'm about to

1:04:53.590 --> 1:04:58.330
<v Speaker 2>play with her head completely wrapped in gauze. Like she

1:04:58.430 --> 1:05:02.050
<v Speaker 2>just left the set of a movie where she was attacked.

1:05:02.790 --> 1:05:07.090
<v Speaker 2>And this woman says a stranger bit off a chunk

1:05:07.760 --> 1:05:10.840
<v Speaker 2>of her forehead. Let's pay attention. Let's see what we

1:05:10.880 --> 1:05:15.780
<v Speaker 2>can learn here about this very successful Northwestern city. Some

1:05:15.880 --> 1:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>call Seattle, Washington. I'm stalling because it's not playing.

1:05:19.840 --> 1:05:20.220
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no.

1:05:20.390 --> 1:05:23.590
<v Speaker 2>Hang on. Let me refresh, unless they're trying to run

1:05:23.630 --> 1:05:26.520
<v Speaker 2>an ad here. Did you name the cookies? I started crying. No,

1:05:26.860 --> 1:05:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm not giving these folks my cookies.

1:05:28.220 --> 1:05:29.180
<v Speaker 4>I started crying.

1:05:29.500 --> 1:05:29.820
<v Speaker 8>Here we are.

1:05:29.920 --> 1:05:32.000
<v Speaker 4>I didn't cry the whole time until they showed me,

1:05:32.040 --> 1:05:35.510
<v Speaker 4>and I was just like, oh, my God. Because it

1:05:35.550 --> 1:05:37.610
<v Speaker 4>looks like a zombie bite like in a movie.

1:05:37.730 --> 1:05:38.130
<v Speaker 2>It does.

1:05:38.150 --> 1:05:38.870
<v Speaker 7>That you would see.

1:05:39.010 --> 1:05:41.680
<v Speaker 15>It's an image too graphic to show you without blurring

1:05:41.720 --> 1:05:42.240
<v Speaker 15>it first.

1:05:42.300 --> 1:05:44.660
<v Speaker 2>But it's the reality for Diana Gonzalez.

1:05:44.820 --> 1:05:47.360
<v Speaker 15>After she said she had about a one inch wide

1:05:47.460 --> 1:05:50.780
<v Speaker 15>piece of her forehead bitten off by another woman during

1:05:50.820 --> 1:05:53.530
<v Speaker 15>a random attack near 3rd Avenue and Cherry Street in

1:05:53.570 --> 1:05:54.470
<v Speaker 15>downtown Seattle.

1:05:54.710 --> 1:05:55.430
<v Speaker 4>Unprovoked.

1:05:55.850 --> 1:05:56.990
<v Speaker 7>I don't know this person.

1:05:57.210 --> 1:05:59.650
<v Speaker 4>I've never seen them before in my life.

1:05:59.910 --> 1:06:04.420
<v Speaker 15>The suspect, identified as 36-year-old Camelia Chodley by prosecutors, is

1:06:04.560 --> 1:06:07.680
<v Speaker 15>charged with felony assault. Gonzalez says Chodley was sitting on

1:06:07.720 --> 1:06:10.510
<v Speaker 15>the steps of the Arctic Hotel eating a hamburger when

1:06:10.530 --> 1:06:12.370
<v Speaker 15>she threw a piece of trash at her and started

1:06:12.410 --> 1:06:13.730
<v Speaker 15>yelling multiple slurs.

1:06:14.090 --> 1:06:14.669
<v Speaker 2>And almost.

1:06:15.610 --> 1:06:17.590
<v Speaker 4>Instantly, she's like, inferior race.

1:06:17.650 --> 1:06:19.150
<v Speaker 7>You're an inferior race.

1:06:19.250 --> 1:06:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Whoa. Inferior race? What's the woman who's yelling at him?

1:06:23.930 --> 1:06:26.420
<v Speaker 2>Because this looks like a white lady to me. That's

1:06:26.440 --> 1:06:28.220
<v Speaker 2>what I was taking away from this. Somebody said you're

1:06:28.240 --> 1:06:31.520
<v Speaker 2>an inferior race? Maybe they thought she was like, maybe

1:06:31.540 --> 1:06:34.180
<v Speaker 2>her last name's Gonzalez. They were saying because she's... I

1:06:34.200 --> 1:06:36.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I haven't seen the person who attacked her.

1:06:36.880 --> 1:06:39.220
<v Speaker 2>We'll have to see that. We need to see the perpetrator.

1:06:39.570 --> 1:06:41.530
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure they don't have a long history of

1:06:41.590 --> 1:06:44.050
<v Speaker 2>arrests where they've just been released over and over and

1:06:44.090 --> 1:06:46.090
<v Speaker 2>over to eat people's brains on the streets. I'm sure

1:06:46.130 --> 1:06:47.050
<v Speaker 2>that's not the case.

1:06:55.670 --> 1:06:58.170
<v Speaker 4>It, like, bites my forehead. Like, I could feel her

1:06:58.210 --> 1:06:58.830
<v Speaker 4>biting me.

1:06:58.850 --> 1:07:01.390
<v Speaker 15>A hotel employee then broke up the fight, and others

1:07:01.430 --> 1:07:04.560
<v Speaker 15>helped Gonzalez with her bleeding. Chodley then reportedly walked to

1:07:04.580 --> 1:07:06.820
<v Speaker 15>a nearby bus stop at the courthouse, where she was

1:07:06.860 --> 1:07:07.740
<v Speaker 15>taken into custody.

1:07:07.960 --> 1:07:10.180
<v Speaker 4>I did ask, like, what does she do with my skin?

1:07:10.260 --> 1:07:11.920
<v Speaker 4>And they said she spit it out, and now it's

1:07:11.980 --> 1:07:12.540
<v Speaker 4>in a grate.

1:07:19.020 --> 1:07:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow! I was not expecting that. I didn't think they

1:07:22.820 --> 1:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>would end it that way. I didn't think they would

1:07:25.400 --> 1:07:27.320
<v Speaker 2>end it. They don't show it. They blur it out

1:07:27.540 --> 1:07:31.060
<v Speaker 2>on this lady's head. It was a Resident Evil publicity stunt.

1:07:31.080 --> 1:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Platypus dude says, no, no, no. This is the real deal.

1:07:34.420 --> 1:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>This poor lady got attacked by one of these street

1:07:37.040 --> 1:07:40.140
<v Speaker 2>zombies because we think it's a normal thing to just

1:07:40.180 --> 1:07:44.640
<v Speaker 2>leave them out there. Camellia Chodley is the one who's

1:07:44.680 --> 1:07:46.860
<v Speaker 2>been charged here. I'm sure she won't be released back

1:07:46.930 --> 1:07:49.510
<v Speaker 2>out of the streets, right? I'd love to see a

1:07:49.550 --> 1:07:53.910
<v Speaker 2>picture of this camellia chodley. They're mowing a hate crime

1:07:53.970 --> 1:07:58.320
<v Speaker 2>charge for her. Okay, that's interesting. Yeah, they said the

1:07:58.340 --> 1:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>incident occurred at broad daylight. Gonzales 36 was walking when

1:08:01.740 --> 1:08:07.020
<v Speaker 2>she was attacked. She said that she and the woman

1:08:07.040 --> 1:08:09.610
<v Speaker 2>who attacked her, who's the same age, share a similar

1:08:09.640 --> 1:08:13.450
<v Speaker 2>complexion and both have curly hair. She was like, do

1:08:13.490 --> 1:08:16.530
<v Speaker 2>you think I'm white? Do you think I'm black? And

1:08:16.570 --> 1:08:19.130
<v Speaker 2>she said, I don't care. And the woman repeated, you

1:08:19.430 --> 1:08:22.009
<v Speaker 2>are you are of an inferior race of an inferior

1:08:22.050 --> 1:08:25.380
<v Speaker 2>race and started to attack her. So I don't know

1:08:25.400 --> 1:08:26.820
<v Speaker 2>what's happening there. But I know we have a lot

1:08:26.860 --> 1:08:28.639
<v Speaker 2>of cities where people just kind of let these weirdos

1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:31.800
<v Speaker 2>wander the streets and then release them again and again

1:08:31.840 --> 1:08:34.240
<v Speaker 2>and again. And because they didn't kill anybody this time,

1:08:34.260 --> 1:08:35.880
<v Speaker 2>they only took a bite of her forehead. They'll probably

1:08:35.900 --> 1:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>just put them back out there on the streets.

1:08:38.229 --> 1:08:41.030
<v Speaker 3>They got an interview with the attacker's dad, and he said,

1:08:41.250 --> 1:08:42.570
<v Speaker 3>Don't do that to.

1:08:42.390 --> 1:08:45.210
<v Speaker 2>That poor guy. That poor guy had a tough life, man.

1:08:45.370 --> 1:08:47.490
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't find the clip in time, so I just

1:08:47.530 --> 1:08:47.780
<v Speaker 2>had to.

1:08:54.070 --> 1:08:57.580
<v Speaker 2>The guy, the cannibal frat bro guy, the young man

1:08:57.600 --> 1:09:01.160
<v Speaker 2>who went nuts, uh, don't know if it was weed

1:09:01.220 --> 1:09:03.000
<v Speaker 2>or what spun that guy out. He was in a

1:09:03.000 --> 1:09:04.559
<v Speaker 2>mental health crisis of some sort.

1:09:04.640 --> 1:09:06.820
<v Speaker 3>I thought he denied doing anything, but we were all

1:09:06.860 --> 1:09:08.600
<v Speaker 3>kind of just landing on bath salts.

1:09:09.380 --> 1:09:12.059
<v Speaker 2>It was the bath salt time. Yes. It was like

1:09:12.260 --> 1:09:15.340
<v Speaker 2>around that time. So everybody kind of put it in

1:09:15.360 --> 1:09:17.090
<v Speaker 2>that basket, but I guess they didn't find anything in

1:09:17.110 --> 1:09:19.809
<v Speaker 2>the system. And he like started attacking and eating people.

1:09:20.290 --> 1:09:23.330
<v Speaker 2>This lady did it too. We need to dart these people,

1:09:23.930 --> 1:09:26.660
<v Speaker 2>put them into facilities. We can't let people get attacked

1:09:26.720 --> 1:09:29.720
<v Speaker 2>and eaten on the streets of America. Holy cow. We're

1:09:29.740 --> 1:09:32.020
<v Speaker 2>going to lose our number one status over something like this.

1:09:32.680 --> 1:09:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Quick break. When we come back, the hot sheet is

1:09:35.040 --> 1:09:37.810
<v Speaker 2>on the way. We've got this story about something happened

1:09:37.850 --> 1:09:41.970
<v Speaker 2>at Cornell that is really, really shocking that we'll talk about.

1:09:42.790 --> 1:09:45.520
<v Speaker 2>The mystery Kratom deaths we'll get into more on the

1:09:45.560 --> 1:09:48.090
<v Speaker 2>American Idol case, and that's just the beginning of it.

1:09:48.120 --> 1:09:50.620
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot to talk about, and it's coming up

1:09:50.700 --> 1:09:57.920
<v Speaker 2>next on the News Junkie. The hot seat is on

1:09:58.280 --> 1:10:02.740
<v Speaker 2>the way. How late were you out on Saturday night, C-Lane?

1:10:02.760 --> 1:10:08.629
<v Speaker 2>That's my question. You're old now. At least you think

1:10:08.650 --> 1:10:10.210
<v Speaker 2>you are. Midnight, 1230-ish.

1:10:10.650 --> 1:10:11.370
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right.

1:10:11.610 --> 1:10:13.389
<v Speaker 2>You still got it in you a little bit then.

1:10:13.430 --> 1:10:17.070
<v Speaker 3>We hit a couple spots after the Garth Brooks concert.

1:10:17.410 --> 1:10:20.650
<v Speaker 3>A couple of the old staples headed down to... Thornton

1:10:20.689 --> 1:10:21.910
<v Speaker 3>Park for a little bit, too.

1:10:21.970 --> 1:10:22.889
<v Speaker 2>So it was a good time.

1:10:22.910 --> 1:10:22.990
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

1:10:23.270 --> 1:10:25.580
<v Speaker 2>All right. You feel like we've got a babysitter. We

1:10:25.600 --> 1:10:27.340
<v Speaker 2>might as well make the most of this. Go see

1:10:27.380 --> 1:10:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Garth Brooks.

1:10:28.520 --> 1:10:32.280
<v Speaker 3>And then everywhere was just a triumphant return status.

1:10:32.979 --> 1:10:33.320
<v Speaker 15>Oh, yeah.

1:10:33.360 --> 1:10:36.820
<v Speaker 2>Did you walk into Casey's? They're like, oh, my God.

1:10:36.900 --> 1:10:37.580
<v Speaker 2>A little bit.

1:10:37.620 --> 1:10:37.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1:10:38.260 --> 1:10:41.860
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And I'm sure drinks were just flowing in your

1:10:41.880 --> 1:10:45.509
<v Speaker 2>direction at these places. They were. Yeah, indeed.

1:10:45.530 --> 1:10:49.650
<v Speaker 3>I actually like at one point I was like, all right,

1:10:49.689 --> 1:10:51.710
<v Speaker 3>this is going to be kind of a long evening.

1:10:51.729 --> 1:10:56.849
<v Speaker 3>I don't need to like really power up that fast.

1:10:57.350 --> 1:11:00.240
<v Speaker 3>So I drank a bunch of beer Saturday night that

1:11:00.260 --> 1:11:04.439
<v Speaker 3>I don't normally drink. And my wife drinks Bud Heavy,

1:11:04.460 --> 1:11:06.820
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, all right, we're going to the

1:11:06.860 --> 1:11:10.100
<v Speaker 3>country show. Let me get a Budweiser, like a classic

1:11:10.240 --> 1:11:14.070
<v Speaker 3>Bud Heavy. And it was delicious. I was like, oh,

1:11:14.110 --> 1:11:16.530
<v Speaker 3>this is actually a pretty tasty beer.

1:11:16.930 --> 1:11:20.970
<v Speaker 2>He's discovered the most simplistic beer of all in his

1:11:21.250 --> 1:11:24.510
<v Speaker 2>40th year on earth. He's just finally done it, God forbid.

1:11:24.530 --> 1:11:27.059
<v Speaker 2>All right, here we go. Let's do the hot sheet.

1:11:27.110 --> 1:11:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's do it.

1:11:28.860 --> 1:11:32.530
<v Speaker 1>Check the hot sheet. It's a new. But not, like,

1:11:32.790 --> 1:11:33.929
<v Speaker 1>real important news.

1:11:34.050 --> 1:11:35.670
<v Speaker 2>Best investigator reporting on the planet.

1:11:35.710 --> 1:11:37.970
<v Speaker 1>The top stories from the people on your screens and

1:11:37.990 --> 1:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>speakers are on The Hot Sheet with C-Lane.

1:11:42.460 --> 1:11:43.020
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

1:11:43.060 --> 1:11:45.140
<v Speaker 3>It's the top five stories in the nonsense news brought

1:11:45.160 --> 1:11:46.979
<v Speaker 3>to you by that mortgage guy, Don. And, of course,

1:11:47.040 --> 1:11:50.280
<v Speaker 3>in case you hadn't heard, there was actually an MTV

1:11:50.340 --> 1:11:55.410
<v Speaker 3>Video Music Awards last night on CBS and maybe MTV.

1:11:55.430 --> 1:11:58.700
<v Speaker 3>They turned off ridiculousness for a little bit. And some

1:11:58.720 --> 1:12:01.460
<v Speaker 3>music fans have branded it the worst ever. The worst

1:12:01.540 --> 1:12:04.850
<v Speaker 3>VMAs after a string of performances left viewers bored, and

1:12:04.890 --> 1:12:07.870
<v Speaker 3>the ceremony appeared to skip three.

1:12:07.650 --> 1:12:08.830
<v Speaker 2>Awards during the night.

1:12:08.910 --> 1:12:09.130
<v Speaker 12>Oh, no.

1:12:09.189 --> 1:12:11.610
<v Speaker 2>All right.

1:12:11.710 --> 1:12:15.970
<v Speaker 3>They seem to exclude Song of the Year. Which seems

1:12:15.990 --> 1:12:18.650
<v Speaker 3>like an important one. Song of the Summer and Best

1:12:18.710 --> 1:12:21.729
<v Speaker 3>Hip Hop from this year's telecast. And they also said,

1:12:22.110 --> 1:12:24.320
<v Speaker 3>I haven't seen this video. Maybe you can look it up.

1:12:25.130 --> 1:12:28.250
<v Speaker 3>At one point, Madonna appeared to forget what she was

1:12:28.310 --> 1:12:31.170
<v Speaker 3>doing on stage. Like it said, towards the end of

1:12:31.189 --> 1:12:34.710
<v Speaker 3>the evening, Madonna appeared to forget what award she was

1:12:34.770 --> 1:12:38.939
<v Speaker 3>accepting from Charlie XCX and Troye Sivan. and said, what's

1:12:39.000 --> 1:12:42.970
<v Speaker 3>this for again? After winning best dance for Confessions 2,

1:12:42.970 --> 1:12:46.730
<v Speaker 3>the film, prompting Charlie to open the announcement card and

1:12:46.790 --> 1:12:48.549
<v Speaker 3>read it to her to jog her memory.

1:12:48.570 --> 1:12:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Let me see. I'm seeing a bunch of her performance things.

1:12:53.850 --> 1:12:57.340
<v Speaker 2>I see her giving a speech or this interaction here.

1:12:57.360 --> 1:13:00.460
<v Speaker 2>She doesn't curse in this, does she? Not that I

1:13:00.479 --> 1:13:09.860
<v Speaker 2>would think. Let's just see. Let's see what we have here. Oh,

1:13:09.870 --> 1:13:14.410
<v Speaker 2>my God. I always forget. She's so tiny. Yeah. Whenever

1:13:14.450 --> 1:13:16.849
<v Speaker 2>you see a celebrity stand up next to other people,

1:13:16.880 --> 1:13:18.990
<v Speaker 2>you go, oh, now I can see how tall they are.

1:13:19.320 --> 1:13:21.400
<v Speaker 2>She's larger than life and everything until you see this.

1:13:21.500 --> 1:13:24.180
<v Speaker 2>And she's just a tiny little thing. Here she is

1:13:24.220 --> 1:13:28.430
<v Speaker 2>up on stage. This isn't the same award. This is

1:13:28.530 --> 1:13:31.230
<v Speaker 2>Artist of the Year. Okay, and it's behind her in

1:13:31.370 --> 1:13:34.389
<v Speaker 2>giant lights, so I would guess that they wouldn't forget

1:13:34.470 --> 1:13:34.930
<v Speaker 2>this one.

1:13:35.189 --> 1:13:37.259
<v Speaker 3>Maybe the first one wasn't behind her in giant lights,

1:13:37.310 --> 1:13:40.820
<v Speaker 3>and somebody backstage was like, hey, she's going to be

1:13:40.860 --> 1:13:42.759
<v Speaker 3>coming back up there. We need to put some giant

1:13:42.820 --> 1:13:45.479
<v Speaker 3>lights behind her. The pop icon had opened the show

1:13:45.500 --> 1:13:49.219
<v Speaker 3>with a raunchy performance of Bring Your Love and Danceteria.

1:13:49.800 --> 1:13:53.610
<v Speaker 3>Alongside Sabrina Carpenter and the brat hitmaker, the appearance marked

1:13:53.750 --> 1:13:57.170
<v Speaker 3>Madonna's return to the VMAs after 23 years.

1:13:57.570 --> 1:14:00.660
<v Speaker 2>Damn. The 68-year-old last performed at the award show in 2003.

1:14:00.640 --> 1:14:06.479
<v Speaker 3>That was the year that she shocked, shocked viewers. By

1:14:06.560 --> 1:14:07.750
<v Speaker 3>kissing Britney Spears.

1:14:08.330 --> 1:14:08.650
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:14:08.750 --> 1:14:11.349
<v Speaker 2>Remember when that was like a big story? Yeah, that

1:14:11.390 --> 1:14:13.769
<v Speaker 2>was huge. And that was one of the biggest moments

1:14:13.790 --> 1:14:16.210
<v Speaker 2>for that award show. And then now people go, well,

1:14:16.250 --> 1:14:18.490
<v Speaker 2>she's all burned out. And then some people were fighting

1:14:18.530 --> 1:14:21.070
<v Speaker 2>back saying, well, no, Madonna's new album is actually pretty good.

1:14:21.700 --> 1:14:24.400
<v Speaker 2>It caused us to have a little conversation last night.

1:14:24.439 --> 1:14:28.180
<v Speaker 2>And Courtney said, you've told me before, Sean, that Elton

1:14:28.220 --> 1:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>John does a thing when people start to get pretty

1:14:30.400 --> 1:14:33.719
<v Speaker 2>famous and build up a library of hits where he'll

1:14:33.760 --> 1:14:36.520
<v Speaker 2>call them. Like he'll call Lady Gaga or Ed Sheeran.

1:14:36.979 --> 1:14:39.150
<v Speaker 2>And he'll say, just so you know, it's okay to

1:14:39.210 --> 1:14:41.390
<v Speaker 2>have your hits and just go around and play your hits.

1:14:41.430 --> 1:14:42.890
<v Speaker 2>There's going to be a point in time where you,

1:14:43.270 --> 1:14:47.090
<v Speaker 2>your new songs don't become the big chart toppers that

1:14:47.130 --> 1:14:49.930
<v Speaker 2>they used to. And, and Elton John would, would tell

1:14:49.950 --> 1:14:52.590
<v Speaker 2>all these new stars this. And I was trying to

1:14:52.850 --> 1:14:55.180
<v Speaker 2>challenge the two of us to be like, is there

1:14:55.280 --> 1:14:58.640
<v Speaker 2>anybody who was famous and had like all their hits on,

1:14:59.200 --> 1:15:02.000
<v Speaker 2>And then when they were old, older in their career,

1:15:02.120 --> 1:15:07.400
<v Speaker 2>they had another huge hit. Ooh, like nothing's coming to mind.

1:15:07.420 --> 1:15:10.660
<v Speaker 2>Elton John had some soundtrack stuff, but that was still

1:15:10.680 --> 1:15:14.080
<v Speaker 2>a long time ago. I'm trying to think of somebody

1:15:14.100 --> 1:15:16.890
<v Speaker 2>who was like, you know, they're big in their time

1:15:16.939 --> 1:15:18.700
<v Speaker 2>and then they come back and have another big one.

1:15:18.729 --> 1:15:21.750
<v Speaker 3>Like if there was a legacy musician that released a

1:15:21.810 --> 1:15:25.250
<v Speaker 3>new song, And it actually performed well.

1:15:25.510 --> 1:15:25.870
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

1:15:26.270 --> 1:15:27.830
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't know.

1:15:27.850 --> 1:15:30.490
<v Speaker 3>And I, and I would, I would be curious, uh,

1:15:31.010 --> 1:15:34.530
<v Speaker 3>like if there was, I would almost lean towards them

1:15:34.570 --> 1:15:35.729
<v Speaker 3>being soundtrack cuts.

1:15:36.280 --> 1:15:40.599
<v Speaker 2>People are saying share, but share wasn't that old when,

1:15:40.720 --> 1:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>when some of those songs came out, like believe, I mean,

1:15:43.620 --> 1:15:45.519
<v Speaker 2>she was a little bit older, but that was kind

1:15:45.560 --> 1:15:48.600
<v Speaker 2>of still a big point of her career, uh, I

1:15:48.640 --> 1:15:50.620
<v Speaker 2>get it a little bit because Cher had like Sonny

1:15:51.040 --> 1:15:55.740
<v Speaker 2>Bono or whatever Bono. Sonny and Cher, she had that point.

1:15:55.760 --> 1:15:57.480
<v Speaker 2>And then she had stuff when she was a little older.

1:15:57.979 --> 1:15:59.860
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know if that fits perfectly.

1:15:59.890 --> 1:16:03.510
<v Speaker 3>Somebody's saying Johnny Cash because he had the cover of

1:16:03.550 --> 1:16:04.670
<v Speaker 3>the Nine Inch Nails song.

1:16:05.010 --> 1:16:07.530
<v Speaker 2>That one was pretty big. It was a cover, but true. Yeah,

1:16:07.630 --> 1:16:11.490
<v Speaker 2>I saw that. I am excited about this. I knew

1:16:11.530 --> 1:16:14.330
<v Speaker 2>something like this had to happen. And Netflix.

1:16:15.120 --> 1:16:20.330
<v Speaker 3>is developing a comedy series that they say is loosely inspired,

1:16:20.510 --> 1:16:25.070
<v Speaker 3>in air quotes, by the alleged college fraternity drug ring

1:16:25.530 --> 1:16:29.320
<v Speaker 3>that got popular in the news a handful of months ago.

1:16:29.340 --> 1:16:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh, what was that guy's name? Remember the guy, Pablo Plechkabar?

1:16:32.120 --> 1:16:32.900
<v Speaker 2>Ha ha ha.

1:16:33.360 --> 1:16:38.820
<v Speaker 3>The fictional project is being developed under writer-producer Alec Berg's

1:16:38.939 --> 1:16:42.320
<v Speaker 3>overall deal with Netflix, according to Deadline. The series was

1:16:42.380 --> 1:16:46.540
<v Speaker 3>rooted in allegations surrounding what authorities described as a cocaine

1:16:46.600 --> 1:16:51.000
<v Speaker 3>trafficking operation at two off-campus Penn State frat houses. It

1:16:51.040 --> 1:16:54.059
<v Speaker 3>was not described as a dramatization of any specific case

1:16:54.120 --> 1:16:57.110
<v Speaker 3>per the outlet, but they just happen to be doing

1:16:57.130 --> 1:17:01.630
<v Speaker 3>a college coke ring show on Netflix, and it's going

1:17:01.650 --> 1:17:05.130
<v Speaker 3>to be a comedy. Authorities say cocaine was allegedly brought

1:17:05.170 --> 1:17:08.270
<v Speaker 3>from Philadelphia to New York, cut and packaged at the Delta, Upsilon,

1:17:08.370 --> 1:17:12.639
<v Speaker 3>and Sigma Chi frat houses and distributed to Penn State students.

1:17:13.680 --> 1:17:17.020
<v Speaker 3>Probably distributed to whoever wanted to buy. I don't think

1:17:18.160 --> 1:17:21.580
<v Speaker 3>these drug rings go, whoa, whoa, whoa. We only sell

1:17:21.600 --> 1:17:25.820
<v Speaker 3>to Penn State students here. Teachers and faculty and anybody

1:17:25.880 --> 1:17:28.400
<v Speaker 3>else is not allowed, but... We'll see how that goes.

1:17:29.100 --> 1:17:32.150
<v Speaker 3>Not going so great for Jonah Hill right now. He's

1:17:32.189 --> 1:17:36.230
<v Speaker 3>got this new movie coming out, this Apple-produced movie with

1:17:36.290 --> 1:17:39.910
<v Speaker 3>the miserable reviews. And now he has another film called

1:17:39.990 --> 1:17:43.250
<v Speaker 3>Cut Off. It's his third effort at directing a movie.

1:17:43.630 --> 1:17:45.599
<v Speaker 3>And it was supposed to hit theaters this July but

1:17:45.640 --> 1:17:49.099
<v Speaker 3>was removed from the release calendar as now undated. Because

1:17:49.120 --> 1:17:51.639
<v Speaker 3>they're having to do a bunch of reshoots. They're saying

1:17:51.660 --> 1:17:55.640
<v Speaker 3>this new Jonah Hill movie with him, Kristen Wiig, and

1:17:55.720 --> 1:17:57.460
<v Speaker 3>Bette Midler is unwatchable.

1:17:58.820 --> 1:18:01.400
<v Speaker 2>There's some star power in that, at least. But that's

1:18:01.439 --> 1:18:03.450
<v Speaker 2>not a good sign when they start talking about reshoots.

1:18:03.550 --> 1:18:06.590
<v Speaker 3>There's been zero promotion for this film. It's called Cut Off,

1:18:06.950 --> 1:18:09.670
<v Speaker 3>which sounds like what's about to happen to it. It

1:18:09.689 --> 1:18:13.309
<v Speaker 3>completed production in September of 2025. Jennifer Lawrence was originally

1:18:13.350 --> 1:18:15.710
<v Speaker 3>attached to lead the film, but was replaced by Kristen Wiig.

1:18:16.210 --> 1:18:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Test screenings reportedly scored poorly. One attendee called it unwatchable.

1:18:21.220 --> 1:18:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Pucks Matt Bologna took it.

1:18:23.500 --> 1:18:25.900
<v Speaker 2>Bellany? Bellany. His name is not Bellany. It's got to

1:18:25.920 --> 1:18:26.340
<v Speaker 2>be Bellany.

1:18:26.780 --> 1:18:30.140
<v Speaker 3>Took it a step further, reporting that the studio believes

1:18:30.180 --> 1:18:32.400
<v Speaker 3>it's unreleasable and hinted that the fate of the movie

1:18:33.160 --> 1:18:36.160
<v Speaker 3>may only be determined after the Warner Brothers Paramount deal

1:18:36.200 --> 1:18:39.530
<v Speaker 3>is complete. Not a great time to be Jonah Hill

1:18:39.590 --> 1:18:43.410
<v Speaker 3>right now. And then we talked last week, I think,

1:18:43.470 --> 1:18:46.530
<v Speaker 3>maybe two weeks ago, that Gnarls Barkley was going back

1:18:46.590 --> 1:18:47.110
<v Speaker 3>out on tour.

1:18:47.130 --> 1:18:49.750
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right. But CeeLo has.

1:18:50.220 --> 1:18:54.720
<v Speaker 3>sort of, you know, full transparency post saying that, just

1:18:54.740 --> 1:18:56.720
<v Speaker 3>so you know, Danger Mouse is not going to be

1:18:56.780 --> 1:18:57.460
<v Speaker 3>on the tour with him.

1:18:58.680 --> 1:19:01.020
<v Speaker 2>Isn't it only Danger Mouse and CeeLo in the band?

1:19:01.080 --> 1:19:01.740
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it is.

1:19:02.000 --> 1:19:05.380
<v Speaker 2>So this is just a CeeLo tour. Okay, well, that's

1:19:05.400 --> 1:19:07.540
<v Speaker 2>not quite the same. Hey, hey, at.

1:19:07.460 --> 1:19:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Gnarls Barkley official fans, to whom it concerns, tour is here.

1:19:11.080 --> 1:19:13.840
<v Speaker 3>It's been almost 20 years, probably won't happen again. There's

1:19:13.860 --> 1:19:17.500
<v Speaker 3>been inquiry, but all caps, Danger Mouse is not performing.

1:19:18.100 --> 1:19:22.500
<v Speaker 3>We want no misunderstandments or disappointments. He's probably seeing all

1:19:22.520 --> 1:19:24.980
<v Speaker 3>the stories about how the Ed Sheeran people were wanting

1:19:25.000 --> 1:19:26.740
<v Speaker 3>their money back for the openers canceling.

1:19:27.060 --> 1:19:30.500
<v Speaker 2>Did he say misunderstandments? He did, yeah. He said, he said,

1:19:31.390 --> 1:19:35.880
<v Speaker 2>No misunderstandings or disappointments. It wasn't a misunderstanding. I haven't

1:19:35.900 --> 1:19:38.280
<v Speaker 2>heard that before. I just made it up. It's a

1:19:38.320 --> 1:19:42.910
<v Speaker 2>new thing. Misunderstandment. I don't want there to be any

1:19:42.930 --> 1:19:45.570
<v Speaker 2>misunderstandings about this. You better get used to it because

1:19:45.670 --> 1:19:47.950
<v Speaker 2>if not, we're going to have a misunderstanding. I don't

1:19:47.970 --> 1:19:49.310
<v Speaker 2>want to have one. I don't want that.

1:19:49.700 --> 1:19:53.180
<v Speaker 3>And last but not least, the music industry is mourning

1:19:53.200 --> 1:19:56.740
<v Speaker 3>the loss of one of the co-founders of the band GWAR,

1:19:56.920 --> 1:20:02.430
<v Speaker 3>Chuck Varga, founding member of GWAR. And his character in

1:20:02.530 --> 1:20:05.790
<v Speaker 3>GWAR was the sex executioner, has died at the age

1:20:05.830 --> 1:20:10.419
<v Speaker 3>of 68 after a battle with cancer. Bassist Casey Orr, a.k.a.

1:20:10.460 --> 1:20:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Beefcake the Mighty, announced the news on Friday. Beefcake the Mighty.

1:20:15.520 --> 1:20:18.540
<v Speaker 3>Beefcake the Mighty announced the news on Friday. Chuck Varga

1:20:18.580 --> 1:20:22.590
<v Speaker 3>has left this earthly realm. He passed peacefully. His beloved wife, Bambi.

1:20:22.620 --> 1:20:25.130
<v Speaker 3>There's not a John or a Sam among these people.

1:20:25.570 --> 1:20:27.849
<v Speaker 3>The beloved wife, Bambi, was holding his hand. He was

1:20:27.950 --> 1:20:31.010
<v Speaker 3>one of a kind as an artist, as a performer,

1:20:31.170 --> 1:20:33.670
<v Speaker 3>as a scholar, and a gentleman. So rest in peace

1:20:34.110 --> 1:20:36.710
<v Speaker 3>to this executioner, which I don't know if that means he...

1:20:37.320 --> 1:20:41.330
<v Speaker 3>Kills you with his sex? Or he kills sex? Yes

1:20:41.410 --> 1:20:41.710
<v Speaker 3>and yes.

1:20:41.810 --> 1:20:44.170
<v Speaker 2>All of the above? Have you ever heard Gwar doing

1:20:44.350 --> 1:20:47.849
<v Speaker 2>Pink Pony Club? I think I have. By the Chapel

1:20:47.870 --> 1:20:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Roan song? Oh, my God, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All

1:20:51.020 --> 1:21:01.469
<v Speaker 2>they need will make my mama proud. God, what have

1:21:03.189 --> 1:21:13.250
<v Speaker 2>you done? You're a pink pony girl. Okay. You know,

1:21:13.410 --> 1:21:15.750
<v Speaker 2>it's a thing. It's definitely a thing.

1:21:16.130 --> 1:21:18.450
<v Speaker 3>Hey, if you have a mortgage rate with a 7

1:21:18.450 --> 1:21:19.590
<v Speaker 3>or 8 in front of it, it's time to call

1:21:19.650 --> 1:21:20.750
<v Speaker 3>that mortgage guy, Don.

1:21:20.810 --> 1:21:23.180
<v Speaker 2>Time to call him for a refi. He wants to

1:21:23.220 --> 1:21:24.140
<v Speaker 2>help you save the money.

1:21:24.280 --> 1:21:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Or if you have a mortgage quote, well, the number

1:21:26.439 --> 1:21:29.080
<v Speaker 3>one mistake people make is just signing the paperwork, taking

1:21:29.100 --> 1:21:31.780
<v Speaker 3>the first quote that they get, not shopping around. you

1:21:31.810 --> 1:21:34.670
<v Speaker 3>would do yourself a favor to call That Mortgage Guy

1:21:34.689 --> 1:21:36.730
<v Speaker 3>Don and help him. He can help you shop it

1:21:36.770 --> 1:21:38.650
<v Speaker 3>around and probably get you a better rate, but you

1:21:38.689 --> 1:21:41.229
<v Speaker 3>can't find out until you visit him at ThatMortgageGuyDon.com.

1:21:41.550 --> 1:21:42.730
<v Speaker 2>Don't miss the book.

1:21:42.870 --> 1:21:46.090
<v Speaker 3>Compare your quote.

1:21:45.650 --> 1:21:46.590
<v Speaker 1>With That Mortgage Guy Don.

1:21:49.150 --> 1:21:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, C-Lane. A couple of emails coming in. Somebody says,

1:21:53.420 --> 1:21:55.660
<v Speaker 2>another reason to love Garth Brooks, the tips of the

1:21:55.700 --> 1:21:59.040
<v Speaker 2>news junkie.com. In the late 90s, Garth was scheduled to

1:21:59.080 --> 1:22:02.009
<v Speaker 2>play Chicago, but something happened and they had to relocate

1:22:02.020 --> 1:22:04.990
<v Speaker 2>to St. Louis, where they discovered they'd have four straight

1:22:05.050 --> 1:22:07.729
<v Speaker 2>days off. So Garth and the band, instead of charging

1:22:07.770 --> 1:22:10.590
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of dollars per ticket, scheduled four shows in St.

1:22:10.630 --> 1:22:14.010
<v Speaker 2>Louis for only $ 19 per ticket and filled the house

1:22:14.170 --> 1:22:18.140
<v Speaker 2>every time, making tens of thousands of new fans, including us.

1:22:18.960 --> 1:22:21.700
<v Speaker 2>Want to let you know after seeing Garth Brooks this weekend. Yeah,

1:22:22.160 --> 1:22:24.480
<v Speaker 2>it seems like he just loves it, man. He's just

1:22:24.520 --> 1:22:28.760
<v Speaker 2>having fun. And why wouldn't you be? You're out there.

1:22:28.800 --> 1:22:30.850
<v Speaker 2>You got the audience in the palm of your hand.

1:22:30.860 --> 1:22:35.490
<v Speaker 2>I looked over at Courtney. We're sitting there in the...

1:22:35.689 --> 1:22:38.450
<v Speaker 2>the founder suite, hanging out with Mo DeWitt and some

1:22:38.490 --> 1:22:41.410
<v Speaker 2>other folks. And as we're sitting there, I go, you know,

1:22:41.450 --> 1:22:43.990
<v Speaker 2>the amazing thing is this guy doesn't have to play anymore.

1:22:44.210 --> 1:22:46.139
<v Speaker 2>He has enough money. He doesn't need to do any

1:22:46.150 --> 1:22:47.840
<v Speaker 2>of this stuff. He just does it because he likes it.

1:22:48.020 --> 1:22:51.860
<v Speaker 2>Did you end up popping over and seeing Leon? I

1:22:51.979 --> 1:22:55.019
<v Speaker 2>didn't because I forgot that when they started the shows,

1:22:55.060 --> 1:22:56.780
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to hang out with Leon Mills this week.

1:22:56.800 --> 1:23:00.849
<v Speaker 2>I got to text him after the show. But I

1:23:01.100 --> 1:23:03.150
<v Speaker 2>discovered that once they start the show, they turn off

1:23:03.370 --> 1:23:06.230
<v Speaker 2>all of the lights in the suites. They, like, force

1:23:06.270 --> 1:23:07.650
<v Speaker 2>all the lights off, which, you know, I get. It

1:23:07.710 --> 1:23:09.870
<v Speaker 2>makes sense. They don't want to distract. And then you're

1:23:09.890 --> 1:23:12.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of operating in the dark. And then I go, oh, great. Now,

1:23:12.200 --> 1:23:14.700
<v Speaker 2>if I try to go over to the iHeart suite

1:23:14.720 --> 1:23:16.340
<v Speaker 2>that they've never invited me to.

1:23:16.360 --> 1:23:17.480
<v Speaker 10>I know.

1:23:17.500 --> 1:23:18.240
<v Speaker 2>That's why I asked.

1:23:18.280 --> 1:23:20.570
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to be like, did you actually see for

1:23:20.610 --> 1:23:22.150
<v Speaker 3>yourself this iHeart suite?

1:23:22.670 --> 1:23:26.690
<v Speaker 2>We need to get Jack Bradshaw, a station man, you know,

1:23:26.770 --> 1:23:30.270
<v Speaker 2>local suit, Jack Bradshaw. We need to get him and

1:23:30.380 --> 1:23:36.300
<v Speaker 2>start bending his ear about this apparent club-level suite that

1:23:36.439 --> 1:23:39.340
<v Speaker 2>iHeart has that they've never invited us to. He's probably

1:23:39.400 --> 1:23:43.439
<v Speaker 2>listening to this going... I didn't know there was a

1:23:43.479 --> 1:23:48.570
<v Speaker 2>suite in there. If anybody's been, he's been. These folks

1:23:48.630 --> 1:23:51.750
<v Speaker 2>have been. I was blown away. I said, iHeart has

1:23:51.810 --> 1:23:54.950
<v Speaker 2>a suite at this arena? They've never invited us not

1:23:55.090 --> 1:23:57.450
<v Speaker 2>one single time. Not even to something we didn't want

1:23:57.470 --> 1:24:00.769
<v Speaker 2>to go to. Sometimes there's shows there that don't sell,

1:24:00.790 --> 1:24:02.650
<v Speaker 2>and they're just begging for people to go. And they

1:24:02.689 --> 1:24:05.620
<v Speaker 2>would go, all right, well, you can have this one. Nothing.

1:24:05.920 --> 1:24:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Not a damn thing. Here's a life hack. For Rate

1:24:09.320 --> 1:24:14.070
<v Speaker 2>My Blank this week, C-Land, Paul emails the show to tipsofthenewsjunkie.com. Hey,

1:24:14.110 --> 1:24:16.870
<v Speaker 2>Sean and C-Land, my life hack, that's what we're going

1:24:16.910 --> 1:24:18.769
<v Speaker 2>for this week for Rate My Blank, your life hacks.

1:24:19.210 --> 1:24:21.940
<v Speaker 2>My life hack is get a few Visa gift cards

1:24:21.990 --> 1:24:25.200
<v Speaker 2>with $ 10 or $ 20 on them and use those gift

1:24:25.240 --> 1:24:28.360
<v Speaker 2>cards for any trial offer that needs a debit card number.

1:24:28.900 --> 1:24:30.860
<v Speaker 2>If you forget about the trial offer and it attempts

1:24:30.900 --> 1:24:33.360
<v Speaker 2>to take more money off the card, it'll just cancel.

1:24:33.820 --> 1:24:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Then it doesn't keep taking money out of your bank

1:24:35.760 --> 1:24:38.120
<v Speaker 2>account when you forget about it. Keep up the work,

1:24:38.430 --> 1:24:41.610
<v Speaker 2>says Paul from Palm City. That's a good one, Paul.

1:24:41.729 --> 1:24:44.130
<v Speaker 2>Not bad. Yeah, I like that. We're trying to think

1:24:44.170 --> 1:24:46.370
<v Speaker 2>of all these things. We've got a big group of people.

1:24:46.450 --> 1:24:47.270
<v Speaker 2>You're among them.

1:24:47.490 --> 1:24:51.490
<v Speaker 3>I used to have a life hack for signing up

1:24:51.530 --> 1:24:53.970
<v Speaker 3>for trials because I didn't want to pay for software.

1:24:54.930 --> 1:24:57.020
<v Speaker 3>And that would be if you have a Gmail account,

1:24:57.680 --> 1:25:01.040
<v Speaker 3>if you put, like, say your name is Uh, you know,

1:25:01.280 --> 1:25:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Sean at gmail.com. If you put a plus sign and

1:25:04.720 --> 1:25:08.670
<v Speaker 3>anything after that, whatever you put always goes back to Sean.

1:25:09.310 --> 1:25:11.830
<v Speaker 2>So you do like Sean. Oh, they, they, they put

1:25:11.870 --> 1:25:15.010
<v Speaker 2>it in there so you can figure out who's selling your, um,

1:25:15.760 --> 1:25:18.990
<v Speaker 2>Your information? So when I'm on the form field, I

1:25:19.030 --> 1:25:24.950
<v Speaker 2>can just put Sean plus spam at gmail.com, and then

1:25:25.010 --> 1:25:28.310
<v Speaker 2>it'll send that into a different folder? No, it'll send

1:25:28.350 --> 1:25:30.380
<v Speaker 2>it straight to you. It'll send it straight to me,

1:25:30.420 --> 1:25:32.180
<v Speaker 2>but I can filter it out, and I can see

1:25:32.200 --> 1:25:33.000
<v Speaker 2>where it came from.

1:25:33.140 --> 1:25:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Because if you start getting a bunch of spam, you

1:25:35.680 --> 1:25:39.410
<v Speaker 3>can see, oh, all of this... All of this is

1:25:39.450 --> 1:25:44.519
<v Speaker 3>going to SeanPlusIMDB at gmail.com. Well, that means IMDB is

1:25:44.560 --> 1:25:47.740
<v Speaker 3>the one that's been selling your email address to everywhere.

1:25:48.439 --> 1:25:51.380
<v Speaker 2>And that's how you put a stop to it. Update.

1:25:51.540 --> 1:25:54.650
<v Speaker 2>Jack Bradshaw on YouTube says, I am learning about this

1:25:54.790 --> 1:25:58.030
<v Speaker 2>iHeartSuite right now. Ha ha. I don't believe it for

1:25:58.070 --> 1:26:00.790
<v Speaker 2>a second. I believe it. I don't believe it. I

1:26:00.830 --> 1:26:01.750
<v Speaker 2>think he must know.

1:26:01.850 --> 1:26:04.690
<v Speaker 3>Except I think that all the people who probably frequent

1:26:04.720 --> 1:26:08.240
<v Speaker 3>that suite work across from where Jack Bradshaw is sitting

1:26:08.260 --> 1:26:08.620
<v Speaker 3>right now.

1:26:08.660 --> 1:26:12.700
<v Speaker 2>Just look out that window, Jack. All those people have been. Bradshaw,

1:26:12.780 --> 1:26:15.320
<v Speaker 2>if that's true, okay, this is the guy who's the

1:26:15.400 --> 1:26:19.790
<v Speaker 2>program director of our main station, our home station, WTKS.

1:26:20.550 --> 1:26:23.250
<v Speaker 2>If he doesn't know that we have an iHeartSuite at

1:26:23.290 --> 1:26:27.290
<v Speaker 2>the local arena, then that means it's really isolated to just, like,

1:26:27.610 --> 1:26:30.650
<v Speaker 2>the top brass. Like, they are hoarding this thing and

1:26:30.710 --> 1:26:33.719
<v Speaker 2>not sharing it with anybody else, save for Leon Mills,

1:26:33.760 --> 1:26:37.479
<v Speaker 2>who deserves that. I agree, but... Somebody says, Sean, when

1:26:37.500 --> 1:26:39.939
<v Speaker 2>you go to a concert like that because of your job,

1:26:39.960 --> 1:26:43.690
<v Speaker 2>do you try to talk the whole time? Or do

1:26:43.700 --> 1:26:48.030
<v Speaker 2>you just stay quiet and watch the show? Sean, do

1:26:48.070 --> 1:26:50.390
<v Speaker 2>you feel compelled to comment while the show is going

1:26:50.450 --> 1:26:53.250
<v Speaker 2>on because of your job? Are you mostly quiet and enjoy? Buddy,

1:26:53.950 --> 1:26:56.640
<v Speaker 2>when I'm not behind the microphone, I'm not yapping like this.

1:26:57.760 --> 1:27:02.020
<v Speaker 2>I talk for four hours a day and then extra

1:27:02.280 --> 1:27:04.620
<v Speaker 2>certain days. No, that's erroneous.

1:27:04.660 --> 1:27:09.280
<v Speaker 3>He was actually at the Garth Brooks show just randomly

1:27:09.540 --> 1:27:11.440
<v Speaker 3>going up to people going, hey, I got a pick-a-side

1:27:11.479 --> 1:27:11.780
<v Speaker 3>for you.

1:27:11.800 --> 1:27:16.259
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's right. This one's called The Thunder Rolls, everybody.

1:27:16.300 --> 1:27:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Garth wrote this in the second album. No, of course.

1:27:21.820 --> 1:27:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I sit there quietly. That sounds like what I would do.

1:27:24.200 --> 1:27:26.150
<v Speaker 2>This is a Billy Joel song. This is what everybody knows.

1:27:28.560 --> 1:27:30.540
<v Speaker 2>We were just singing along, having a good old time.

1:27:30.560 --> 1:27:35.240
<v Speaker 2>All right. Oh, shoot. Quick break. That's my fault. That's

1:27:35.280 --> 1:27:37.820
<v Speaker 2>my fault. Back in a moment. Second half of the

1:27:37.860 --> 1:27:40.360
<v Speaker 2>show kicks off next. It's coming up next in the news, Junkie.

1:27:46.750 --> 1:27:51.820
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back, friends. Welcome in to the world's most viral newsroom.

1:27:51.840 --> 1:27:55.040
<v Speaker 2>You can learn more about the show. All you have

1:27:55.060 --> 1:27:57.900
<v Speaker 2>to do is go over to the website, thenewsjunkie.com. We

1:27:57.939 --> 1:28:01.430
<v Speaker 2>were arguing if Jack Bradshaw is a suit or not.

1:28:01.550 --> 1:28:05.450
<v Speaker 2>Is he a suit? Is he one of the suits?

1:28:05.850 --> 1:28:07.650
<v Speaker 2>We kind of came to terms on the chat side

1:28:07.689 --> 1:28:11.950
<v Speaker 2>of things that he's very hesitantly in that world, but

1:28:12.050 --> 1:28:15.349
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't categorize Jack Bradshaw as a suit. And maybe

1:28:15.390 --> 1:28:18.290
<v Speaker 2>that's why they don't tell him about the secret suite,

1:28:18.470 --> 1:28:22.150
<v Speaker 2>Founders Club suite that iHeart apparently has at the local arena.

1:28:22.750 --> 1:28:24.550
<v Speaker 3>He made a comment to me the other day. I'm

1:28:25.670 --> 1:28:28.450
<v Speaker 3>wondering how much I can say about this. He made

1:28:28.470 --> 1:28:29.979
<v Speaker 3>a comment to me the other day that he still

1:28:30.020 --> 1:28:30.460
<v Speaker 3>has to be.

1:28:32.240 --> 1:28:36.099
<v Speaker 3>You know, pulled into meetings about certain things In my head,

1:28:36.140 --> 1:28:39.660
<v Speaker 3>I went, he's one of us still.

1:28:39.680 --> 1:28:42.600
<v Speaker 2>He's one of us. There's too many things I'm not

1:28:42.660 --> 1:28:46.179
<v Speaker 2>knowing about this. Pull into meetings about what? Oh, just

1:28:46.340 --> 1:28:50.900
<v Speaker 2>be reminded about certain things. Him getting in trouble? Usually

1:28:50.920 --> 1:28:52.090
<v Speaker 2>like we would do.

1:28:52.660 --> 1:28:56.150
<v Speaker 3>You know you know it's not suit if he's getting

1:28:56.210 --> 1:28:58.690
<v Speaker 3>called into meetings where he's getting in trouble still then

1:28:58.710 --> 1:29:00.530
<v Speaker 3>he's not a suit right he's not a suit i

1:29:00.570 --> 1:29:02.990
<v Speaker 3>don't think he's in trouble but like you.

1:29:02.910 --> 1:29:07.390
<v Speaker 2>Know there's little reminders tpfb on tnj chat says he's

1:29:07.490 --> 1:29:10.530
<v Speaker 2>suit adjacent maybe that might be fair i think but

1:29:10.990 --> 1:29:13.770
<v Speaker 2>that does make me believe that he was unaware of

1:29:13.810 --> 1:29:17.060
<v Speaker 2>the fact that there was a secret like very expensive

1:29:17.120 --> 1:29:19.439
<v Speaker 2>suite where they sit and count all the I heart

1:29:19.500 --> 1:29:22.090
<v Speaker 2>money and watch all the big concerts. I just saw him.

1:29:22.100 --> 1:29:23.620
<v Speaker 3>He was just walking around and he was like, there's

1:29:23.660 --> 1:29:29.590
<v Speaker 3>not even really anybody to ask right now.

1:29:30.030 --> 1:29:32.450
<v Speaker 2>You can't ask him because they're in the suite. Still,

1:29:32.910 --> 1:29:36.530
<v Speaker 2>still in that Garth is in the suite with them. Yeah.

1:29:36.810 --> 1:29:37.220
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:29:37.400 --> 1:29:41.220
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. All right. We've got a couple of things to

1:29:41.260 --> 1:29:43.760
<v Speaker 2>work into. We're kicking off the second half of the

1:29:43.820 --> 1:29:46.560
<v Speaker 2>show and we are doing our rate my blank rate

1:29:46.600 --> 1:29:48.560
<v Speaker 2>my blank for this week. I think it's going to

1:29:48.580 --> 1:29:50.060
<v Speaker 2>be really helpful for you. It's going to be a

1:29:50.060 --> 1:29:52.300
<v Speaker 2>good reason for you to keep listening throughout the week.

1:29:53.040 --> 1:29:55.889
<v Speaker 2>What it is going to be is rate my life hack.

1:29:56.430 --> 1:29:59.220
<v Speaker 2>And we've already had some pretty good ones. See, Lane's

1:29:59.260 --> 1:30:02.360
<v Speaker 2>talking about how you go to some of the specialty

1:30:02.400 --> 1:30:06.960
<v Speaker 2>stores like BJ's and they sell gift cards and the

1:30:07.020 --> 1:30:10.439
<v Speaker 2>gift cards are cheaper than the face value of the

1:30:10.479 --> 1:30:13.820
<v Speaker 2>gift cards. It's just like free money when you do that.

1:30:13.840 --> 1:30:17.220
<v Speaker 2>If you already have the BJ's pass to go in there,

1:30:17.420 --> 1:30:19.200
<v Speaker 2>why would you not do that if you're going to

1:30:19.220 --> 1:30:21.920
<v Speaker 2>be spending money on those places? That's a really good one.

1:30:22.020 --> 1:30:25.450
<v Speaker 3>It's a badass hack to get 20% off, especially if

1:30:25.490 --> 1:30:30.080
<v Speaker 3>you want to get a bunch of food for a gathering,

1:30:30.300 --> 1:30:31.860
<v Speaker 3>which we've done a few times before.

1:30:32.360 --> 1:30:32.700
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:30:32.780 --> 1:30:37.590
<v Speaker 2>So I, you know, I get it. I do want

1:30:37.620 --> 1:30:39.430
<v Speaker 2>to get more of these and I want to get

1:30:39.470 --> 1:30:40.990
<v Speaker 2>more of them where you guys rock our worlds a

1:30:41.010 --> 1:30:42.990
<v Speaker 2>little bit. Maybe see land and I'll be like, Whoa,

1:30:43.390 --> 1:30:46.170
<v Speaker 2>how have we screwed that up? That's a smart one.

1:30:46.189 --> 1:30:49.510
<v Speaker 2>That one that stuck with me a lot is I

1:30:49.550 --> 1:30:51.340
<v Speaker 2>might screw this up ceiling, but you'll remember it better

1:30:51.380 --> 1:30:53.870
<v Speaker 2>than me. Every time I'm driving now and I'm pulling

1:30:53.910 --> 1:30:56.810
<v Speaker 2>into the gas station, I used to always forget what

1:30:56.870 --> 1:30:59.930
<v Speaker 2>side my gas was on, like my gas cap, where

1:30:59.970 --> 1:31:03.570
<v Speaker 2>I fill up the vehicle. And now there was one

1:31:03.610 --> 1:31:04.990
<v Speaker 2>that I think we did in a Today I Learned,

1:31:05.020 --> 1:31:07.220
<v Speaker 2>which was a life hack, which said, look at your dashboard,

1:31:07.580 --> 1:31:10.380
<v Speaker 2>and there's an arrow pointing toward the side of your

1:31:10.420 --> 1:31:13.660
<v Speaker 2>car where the gas thing is. Yeah, it's an arrow.

1:31:14.000 --> 1:31:14.900
<v Speaker 2>Or I think....

1:31:17.810 --> 1:31:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Or the picture denotes the gas being on a certain side.

1:31:20.780 --> 1:31:22.480
<v Speaker 3>But I think usually it's an arrow. It's like right

1:31:22.500 --> 1:31:24.700
<v Speaker 3>where the gas gauge is on your vehicle. There's something

1:31:24.720 --> 1:31:27.540
<v Speaker 3>that will denote which side you put the gas in on.

1:31:27.600 --> 1:31:30.460
<v Speaker 3>And so if you keep forgetting that and then you

1:31:30.560 --> 1:31:32.889
<v Speaker 3>look and you go, oh, all right, as you're pulling

1:31:32.930 --> 1:31:35.030
<v Speaker 3>in the gas station, you'll know which side to pull on.

1:31:35.070 --> 1:31:36.990
<v Speaker 2>These are the kind of things that we're talking about.

1:31:37.050 --> 1:31:39.530
<v Speaker 2>So hit us up with yours, your life hacks for

1:31:39.570 --> 1:31:44.689
<v Speaker 2>Rate My Blank this week over at thenewsjunkie.com. Okay. What

1:31:44.710 --> 1:31:47.010
<v Speaker 2>do we have here? There was a lot going on.

1:31:47.070 --> 1:31:49.530
<v Speaker 2>Kind of interesting with there was this attack, I guess,

1:31:49.600 --> 1:31:54.780
<v Speaker 2>that they thwarted in the UK and England this weekend.

1:31:55.160 --> 1:31:58.080
<v Speaker 2>And then they arrested five guys. These guys had these

1:31:58.160 --> 1:32:03.700
<v Speaker 2>vans that were pretend work vans. And some old man

1:32:04.200 --> 1:32:07.300
<v Speaker 2>saw something that he thought was suspicious. He called the

1:32:07.400 --> 1:32:10.620
<v Speaker 2>Air Force Base. It's a Royal Air Force Base in England.

1:32:11.350 --> 1:32:13.549
<v Speaker 2>And the Air Force Base is a place where the U.S.

1:32:13.670 --> 1:32:15.790
<v Speaker 2>has kind of based some of their attacks on Iran

1:32:15.870 --> 1:32:17.550
<v Speaker 2>out of. So that's why they think they were targeting it.

1:32:18.410 --> 1:32:21.380
<v Speaker 2>And the old man who lived nearby was like, something's

1:32:21.479 --> 1:32:23.439
<v Speaker 2>wrong with these vans. And he tried to call the

1:32:23.500 --> 1:32:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Air Force Base and nobody picked up the phone. Ring, ring, ring.

1:32:27.400 --> 1:32:31.750
<v Speaker 2>So he calls 999, their version of 911, and he says,

1:32:31.810 --> 1:32:35.230
<v Speaker 2>something's not right. There's something suspicious about these folks over here.

1:32:35.330 --> 1:32:39.030
<v Speaker 3>Seems very easy to accidentally call their version of 911.

1:32:39.030 --> 1:32:40.160
<v Speaker 3>It really does, actually.

1:32:40.700 --> 1:32:44.260
<v Speaker 2>But the police arrive after he calls 999, and they

1:32:44.300 --> 1:32:45.960
<v Speaker 2>go over, and they're like, oh, my God, this guy

1:32:45.979 --> 1:32:48.060
<v Speaker 2>was on to something. On the side of this van,

1:32:48.080 --> 1:32:50.020
<v Speaker 2>it was like all this pretend work stuff, and then

1:32:50.040 --> 1:32:54.320
<v Speaker 2>there was a phone number, which was short one-digit. It's like, OK,

1:32:55.400 --> 1:32:57.820
<v Speaker 2>these people aren't from around here necessarily. They don't even

1:32:57.850 --> 1:32:59.750
<v Speaker 2>know how to fake a phone number on the side

1:32:59.770 --> 1:33:01.770
<v Speaker 2>of the vehicle. And they screwed it up on there.

1:33:02.250 --> 1:33:04.390
<v Speaker 2>They said, let's look into this. And there were explosives,

1:33:04.450 --> 1:33:06.809
<v Speaker 2>I guess, in these vehicles. This is one of the

1:33:06.850 --> 1:33:09.290
<v Speaker 2>CNN stories. Maybe we'll get some more details on what

1:33:09.310 --> 1:33:10.810
<v Speaker 2>happened here.

1:33:10.990 --> 1:33:13.320
<v Speaker 7>Just outside the airbase perimeter in Fairford.

1:33:13.380 --> 1:33:14.000
<v Speaker 2>We turn it off.

1:33:14.100 --> 1:33:15.140
<v Speaker 10>Nick, thank you for joining us.

1:33:15.160 --> 1:33:17.620
<v Speaker 16>Can you walk us through the incident and exactly what

1:33:17.700 --> 1:33:18.920
<v Speaker 16>prompted these arrests?

1:33:21.650 --> 1:33:24.929
<v Speaker 9>The arrests were prompted by a call from a local farmer.

1:33:25.450 --> 1:33:28.889
<v Speaker 9>She came home with her husband from a night out,

1:33:29.229 --> 1:33:31.350
<v Speaker 9>an evening out, in the early hours.

1:33:31.090 --> 1:33:31.790
<v Speaker 1>Of the morning.

1:33:32.390 --> 1:33:34.479
<v Speaker 9>The police say they received a call from her at 12.45am.

1:33:34.570 --> 1:33:40.660
<v Speaker 9>She describes... arriving at her farm sometime after 1 a.m

1:33:40.979 --> 1:33:43.960
<v Speaker 9>and when she got to her farm she said that

1:33:44.080 --> 1:33:46.800
<v Speaker 9>there were three white vans blocking the entrance to the

1:33:46.840 --> 1:33:49.160
<v Speaker 9>farm so she tried to go another way around and

1:33:49.180 --> 1:33:53.200
<v Speaker 9>that's when she saw these masked balaclava men uh running

1:33:53.380 --> 1:33:54.120
<v Speaker 9>away and.

1:33:54.300 --> 1:33:56.300
<v Speaker 2>Could you be any more obvious they're out there with

1:33:56.340 --> 1:33:58.880
<v Speaker 2>like the masks on the balaclavas where you just see

1:33:58.920 --> 1:34:01.960
<v Speaker 2>their around their eyes a little bit and like a

1:34:02.020 --> 1:34:05.000
<v Speaker 2>circle around their mouth those kind of masks out there

1:34:05.420 --> 1:34:07.870
<v Speaker 2>It's like very, very suspicious right near an Air Force base.

1:34:07.950 --> 1:34:11.040
<v Speaker 2>And they were trying to blow the place up. crazy

1:34:11.080 --> 1:34:12.620
<v Speaker 2>news about what happened next.

1:34:12.640 --> 1:34:16.080
<v Speaker 9>She realized immediately that she needed to call and notify. Look,

1:34:16.920 --> 1:34:19.140
<v Speaker 9>talking to a lot of local people around here, one

1:34:19.160 --> 1:34:21.700
<v Speaker 9>of the things that stands out is that they know

1:34:21.740 --> 1:34:24.520
<v Speaker 9>that this base has been used in previous wars, the

1:34:24.560 --> 1:34:26.500
<v Speaker 9>Gulf War 1991, the Gulf War 2003, the Kosovo War 1999,

1:34:26.500 --> 1:34:27.500
<v Speaker 9>as a base for long-range U.S.

1:34:27.500 --> 1:34:28.820
<v Speaker 2>Bombers to take off from to bomb targets.

1:34:36.400 --> 1:34:39.929
<v Speaker 9>As it was used earlier this year in March for

1:34:40.010 --> 1:34:43.310
<v Speaker 9>the US B-1 Lancer bombers to take off and bomb Iran.

1:34:43.530 --> 1:34:45.570
<v Speaker 2>So just for the record, he's outside of this air

1:34:45.610 --> 1:34:50.470
<v Speaker 2>base in England. It says RAF Fairford, which I think

1:34:50.530 --> 1:34:53.210
<v Speaker 2>is Royal Air Force Fairford. And then it says US

1:34:53.270 --> 1:34:59.630
<v Speaker 2>Air Force underneath it, home of the 501st Combat Support Wing.

1:35:00.450 --> 1:35:03.519
<v Speaker 2>So that's where they sort of found these people. And

1:35:03.530 --> 1:35:06.170
<v Speaker 2>then they sent over the police and the police investigated

1:35:06.630 --> 1:35:10.250
<v Speaker 2>and they arrested them. And then afterwards they started to

1:35:10.310 --> 1:35:11.750
<v Speaker 2>say a bunch of things. Like they were, they were

1:35:11.770 --> 1:35:14.020
<v Speaker 2>saying like they're British nationals. And I'm like, are they,

1:35:14.520 --> 1:35:16.360
<v Speaker 2>are they, are they from Iran or what? Like, you

1:35:16.380 --> 1:35:18.860
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean? Don't tell me they're, they're men

1:35:18.939 --> 1:35:19.660
<v Speaker 2>from London.

1:35:20.400 --> 1:35:20.679
<v Speaker 10>Okay.

1:35:20.720 --> 1:35:22.220
<v Speaker 2>And they don't know how many digits are in a

1:35:22.240 --> 1:35:27.360
<v Speaker 2>phone number in London. Like, are these guys British people

1:35:27.800 --> 1:35:29.400
<v Speaker 2>or are they of Iranian descent?

1:35:29.540 --> 1:35:29.720
<v Speaker 4>Right.

1:35:29.800 --> 1:35:31.660
<v Speaker 2>Is there some reason to believe that they are part

1:35:31.820 --> 1:35:35.309
<v Speaker 2>of an Iranian attack? On this particular base. And I

1:35:35.350 --> 1:35:37.229
<v Speaker 2>guess they said at a press conference. They didn't want

1:35:37.250 --> 1:35:38.870
<v Speaker 2>people to speculate about this.

1:35:39.150 --> 1:35:42.730
<v Speaker 11>So I'm from the local force. So I'm from Gloucestershire Constabulary.

1:35:42.910 --> 1:35:44.010
<v Speaker 11>Just to make that.

1:35:47.810 --> 1:35:48.190
<v Speaker 1>Clear.

1:35:48.330 --> 1:35:52.870
<v Speaker 11>So at around 12.45am today. Sunday the 27th of September.

1:35:53.710 --> 1:35:57.180
<v Speaker 11>Police received a call. Relating to three suspicious vehicles. Travelling

1:35:57.220 --> 1:35:58.500
<v Speaker 11>towards RAF Fairford.

1:35:58.620 --> 1:35:59.419
<v Speaker 2>Three vehicles.

1:35:59.760 --> 1:36:03.570
<v Speaker 11>Armed officers responded. and subsequently arrested five men in the

1:36:03.610 --> 1:36:07.510
<v Speaker 11>Belford area on suspicion of committing offences under the Explosives Act.

1:36:08.670 --> 1:36:13.349
<v Speaker 11>The men were taken into custody where they remain. A

1:36:13.370 --> 1:36:16.410
<v Speaker 11>400-metre cordon has been put in place around the vehicles

1:36:16.470 --> 1:36:20.410
<v Speaker 11>while the Army's Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit examined them.

1:36:20.490 --> 1:36:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Alright, so then they show the vans, there's three... They're

1:36:24.000 --> 1:36:27.440
<v Speaker 2>like big work vans, you know, like the big white sided.

1:36:27.540 --> 1:36:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Sure.

1:36:28.080 --> 1:36:28.890
<v Speaker 2>Like you would have.

1:36:30.150 --> 1:36:32.310
<v Speaker 3>I had a friend that at one time had a

1:36:32.370 --> 1:36:36.250
<v Speaker 3>job delivering medical supplies. He drove one of those like

1:36:36.990 --> 1:36:43.820
<v Speaker 3>big windowless vans. And just kind of nondescript usually. You

1:36:43.840 --> 1:36:45.740
<v Speaker 3>know what I always think of? I always think of

1:36:45.920 --> 1:36:48.019
<v Speaker 3>van life when I see these kind of vans. Like

1:36:48.050 --> 1:36:50.210
<v Speaker 3>these are the ones you could turn into a mini RV.

1:36:50.229 --> 1:36:50.849
<v Speaker 16>Yeah.

1:36:51.210 --> 1:36:52.769
<v Speaker 2>If you wanted to, because they don't have a lot

1:36:52.810 --> 1:36:57.210
<v Speaker 2>of windows on them. And maybe really good for explosives too.

1:36:58.470 --> 1:37:01.830
<v Speaker 11>As a precaution, around 85 households have been advised to

1:37:01.870 --> 1:37:04.269
<v Speaker 11>evacuate while these examinations take place.

1:37:04.310 --> 1:37:04.990
<v Speaker 2>That sounds smart.

1:37:05.650 --> 1:37:08.220
<v Speaker 11>A nearby leisure center has been opened for those who

1:37:08.260 --> 1:37:09.460
<v Speaker 11>are unable to save a family.

1:37:09.479 --> 1:37:12.540
<v Speaker 3>This whole ordeal just seems just sounds fancier when he

1:37:12.580 --> 1:37:17.360
<v Speaker 3>says everything in the British accent. Nearby leisure center.

1:37:18.930 --> 1:37:20.709
<v Speaker 2>It seems less frightening.

1:37:20.890 --> 1:37:21.390
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:37:21.550 --> 1:37:23.870
<v Speaker 5>It's just like, oh, no, not such a big deal.

1:37:24.010 --> 1:37:26.930
<v Speaker 11>Services have well rehearsed plans for dealing with major incidents

1:37:26.950 --> 1:37:30.360
<v Speaker 11>such as this. Work to establish the full nature of

1:37:30.420 --> 1:37:34.180
<v Speaker 11>this incident is ongoing and we are in constant communication

1:37:34.220 --> 1:37:38.559
<v Speaker 11>with our partners both locally and nationally. In particular, we

1:37:38.600 --> 1:37:44.519
<v Speaker 11>are working closely with our partners in counter-terrorism policing. Gloucester

1:37:44.540 --> 1:37:47.520
<v Speaker 11>Police's focus at this time is on the local community

1:37:48.380 --> 1:37:50.420
<v Speaker 11>and I'd like to thank the residents who have left

1:37:50.460 --> 1:37:54.450
<v Speaker 11>their homes this morning for their understanding and support. We

1:37:54.470 --> 1:37:56.950
<v Speaker 11>appreciate the disruption that this will have caused to both

1:37:57.030 --> 1:38:00.059
<v Speaker 11>them and other local residents in the area and would

1:38:00.080 --> 1:38:02.120
<v Speaker 11>like to reassure them that we are working as quickly

1:38:02.140 --> 1:38:04.740
<v Speaker 11>as we can to get them back into their properties.

1:38:06.120 --> 1:38:08.410
<v Speaker 11>We would also please ask the public not to speculate

1:38:09.020 --> 1:38:10.960
<v Speaker 11>But to follow official channels for.

1:38:10.880 --> 1:38:12.639
<v Speaker 2>All of no speculation.

1:38:12.860 --> 1:38:13.120
<v Speaker 1>All right.

1:38:13.140 --> 1:38:16.340
<v Speaker 2>We don't want any speculation going on. And then I

1:38:16.400 --> 1:38:21.130
<v Speaker 2>see the bombshell that this is breaking. The five men

1:38:21.150 --> 1:38:25.170
<v Speaker 2>arrested over the suspected plot at this Air Force base

1:38:25.570 --> 1:38:30.400
<v Speaker 2>are being released on police bail today, according to UK counterterrorism. Police.

1:38:30.410 --> 1:38:34.959
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, you released these guys? What are you doing?

1:38:36.060 --> 1:38:38.620
<v Speaker 2>You think like if there was people from England or

1:38:38.640 --> 1:38:40.460
<v Speaker 2>the United States who were in Iran and they were

1:38:40.500 --> 1:38:43.200
<v Speaker 2>suspected of wanting to attack an Iranian base, you think

1:38:43.220 --> 1:38:45.439
<v Speaker 2>they'd be like, all right, well, we're releasing you on bail.

1:38:45.939 --> 1:38:48.280
<v Speaker 2>But we're going to keep a real sharp eye on

1:38:48.300 --> 1:38:51.590
<v Speaker 2>you right now. Better call your bail bondsman. Yeah, that

1:38:51.660 --> 1:38:54.430
<v Speaker 2>seems a little weird. That seems weird. And I'm going

1:38:54.439 --> 1:38:56.189
<v Speaker 2>to call them British. They're like, you know, these guys

1:38:56.250 --> 1:38:58.970
<v Speaker 2>are from London. Like, don't can we not beat around

1:38:59.010 --> 1:39:01.230
<v Speaker 2>the bush anymore? I've seen this before. They did this

1:39:01.330 --> 1:39:05.849
<v Speaker 2>one time. They go this Minnesota man. And I go, what?

1:39:05.890 --> 1:39:08.030
<v Speaker 2>And they show the man up on the screen, and

1:39:08.130 --> 1:39:11.250
<v Speaker 2>I go, Minnesota man. Okay, this is a Minnesota man?

1:39:11.950 --> 1:39:13.950
<v Speaker 2>And the guy was like a Somali who got to

1:39:13.979 --> 1:39:16.620
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota three weeks before. And I'm like, man, it's easy

1:39:16.640 --> 1:39:19.280
<v Speaker 2>to become a Minnesota man. Is it as easy to

1:39:19.320 --> 1:39:21.180
<v Speaker 2>become a Somali man if I just go over there?

1:39:21.200 --> 1:39:25.400
<v Speaker 2>They're like, this Somalian man. Or no, they would say,

1:39:25.430 --> 1:39:29.790
<v Speaker 2>this American man living in Somalia, right?

1:39:29.850 --> 1:39:29.990
<v Speaker 3>Like.

1:39:30.470 --> 1:39:32.309
<v Speaker 2>So sometimes they make this a little more complicated than

1:39:32.330 --> 1:39:34.570
<v Speaker 2>they were. They're like, these guys are from London. I'm like,

1:39:34.689 --> 1:39:37.060
<v Speaker 2>are they Iranian agents or what?

1:39:37.460 --> 1:39:37.680
<v Speaker 4>Right.

1:39:37.740 --> 1:39:39.740
<v Speaker 2>That's what we want to know. Give us that information.

1:39:39.760 --> 1:39:41.519
<v Speaker 2>And they said, we can't tell you that because we

1:39:41.560 --> 1:39:45.500
<v Speaker 2>released them. We released it on ban. Well, all right. Yeah.

1:39:45.560 --> 1:39:49.900
<v Speaker 3>Did you not have good enough charges to inflict on them?

1:39:50.340 --> 1:39:52.559
<v Speaker 2>You were worried that their vans were going to explode.

1:39:52.580 --> 1:39:54.800
<v Speaker 2>So that kind of makes it seem like you had

1:39:55.000 --> 1:39:58.260
<v Speaker 2>something on these folks. It's all very concerning to me.

1:39:58.780 --> 1:40:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to a couple of your dispatches here. You

1:40:00.780 --> 1:40:05.100
<v Speaker 2>guys got thoughts. Let's work them in. Rate my life hack.

1:40:05.229 --> 1:40:05.469
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

1:40:05.510 --> 1:40:07.930
<v Speaker 2>Here's one from Simpson. Let's listen in.

1:40:07.950 --> 1:40:09.490
<v Speaker 10>This is for rate my life hack.

1:40:11.950 --> 1:40:14.450
<v Speaker 8>Go sign up for an airline or hotel travel credit

1:40:14.470 --> 1:40:16.290
<v Speaker 8>card and use it for everyday purchases.

1:40:16.470 --> 1:40:16.790
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

1:40:16.990 --> 1:40:19.890
<v Speaker 8>Then pay it off every month while reaping the rewards.

1:40:20.570 --> 1:40:22.970
<v Speaker 8>If it has an annual fee, call to cancel it

1:40:22.990 --> 1:40:23.790
<v Speaker 8>the week before.

1:40:24.490 --> 1:40:27.110
<v Speaker 10>You get the rewards. They profit nothing off you.

1:40:27.130 --> 1:40:32.269
<v Speaker 2>All right. Text to speech. TTS Dispatch. Thank you. Coming through.

1:40:32.850 --> 1:40:36.349
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate that. It's not a bad idea. Here's somebody else.

1:40:36.370 --> 1:40:38.370
<v Speaker 2>This one's going to make us fat. Another TTS.

1:40:38.430 --> 1:40:41.229
<v Speaker 10>My best life hack? Put your brownie batter into your

1:40:41.270 --> 1:40:46.450
<v Speaker 10>waffle maker. All edges. Also, you can substitute THC oil

1:40:46.490 --> 1:40:47.150
<v Speaker 10>instead of butter.

1:40:47.170 --> 1:40:48.490
<v Speaker 16>Okay.

1:40:49.770 --> 1:40:52.050
<v Speaker 2>Some of you, I don't know what you're doing. I

1:40:52.110 --> 1:40:56.830
<v Speaker 2>don't need my food to get me high. I just

1:40:56.870 --> 1:40:59.870
<v Speaker 2>want my food to be good food, and then I'll

1:40:59.910 --> 1:41:03.559
<v Speaker 2>get high on the side somewhere or something. Some of

1:41:03.600 --> 1:41:06.240
<v Speaker 2>you people, I don't understand. You sit down and you go, well,

1:41:06.270 --> 1:41:09.550
<v Speaker 2>I want to eat a snack, but I also want

1:41:09.570 --> 1:41:11.370
<v Speaker 2>to get high as a kite while I'm doing it.

1:41:11.570 --> 1:41:13.990
<v Speaker 2>I mean, to each their own. I'm not trying to

1:41:14.030 --> 1:41:15.790
<v Speaker 2>stop you from doing it, but it just strikes me

1:41:15.850 --> 1:41:18.250
<v Speaker 2>as a little weird. This one is a life hack.

1:41:18.290 --> 1:41:21.090
<v Speaker 2>How to remember how many days are in each month? Okay,

1:41:21.710 --> 1:41:24.990
<v Speaker 2>let's see. Oh, I think I've seen something like this before.

1:41:25.010 --> 1:41:27.230
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I have. Is there some kind

1:41:27.250 --> 1:41:27.850
<v Speaker 2>of method for this?

1:41:28.370 --> 1:41:31.680
<v Speaker 14>My life hack was trying to remember how many days

1:41:31.729 --> 1:41:34.560
<v Speaker 14>are in each month So you can count them with

1:41:34.600 --> 1:41:41.040
<v Speaker 14>your knuckles. Knuckles are 31. The valleys in between are less.

1:41:41.220 --> 1:41:51.280
<v Speaker 14>So January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, August. October, November, December.

1:41:51.300 --> 1:41:54.309
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty good, actually. That's not bad. So you start

1:41:54.350 --> 1:41:58.030
<v Speaker 2>with January on your pointer finger knuckle, and then February's

1:41:58.189 --> 1:42:02.559
<v Speaker 2>in between, and then your middle finger knuckle is March,

1:42:02.620 --> 1:42:05.830
<v Speaker 2>and then that tells... That's not bad. That's a good one.

1:42:06.210 --> 1:42:07.930
<v Speaker 3>I mean, all you have to really remember after that

1:42:07.990 --> 1:42:12.130
<v Speaker 3>is that February has 28 days, not the 30th.

1:42:12.510 --> 1:42:14.940
<v Speaker 2>This is useful in the way that if you put

1:42:14.979 --> 1:42:19.040
<v Speaker 2>your hands out and extend your thumb down, your left

1:42:19.080 --> 1:42:21.320
<v Speaker 2>hand will make a nice little L. And then if

1:42:21.360 --> 1:42:23.679
<v Speaker 2>you don't know your left from your right, easy little

1:42:23.720 --> 1:42:26.580
<v Speaker 2>shortcut there, which is like half of the high school

1:42:26.600 --> 1:42:29.400
<v Speaker 2>population right now. Don't know left from right or a

1:42:29.660 --> 1:42:31.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of other things. Do you know which one is

1:42:31.840 --> 1:42:37.500
<v Speaker 2>Port and Starboard? Oh, is there a way to remember this? Yes. Port. Port.

1:42:37.880 --> 1:42:46.490
<v Speaker 2>Port is the front. No. Shoot. Port is the left.

1:42:46.710 --> 1:42:46.930
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

1:42:47.770 --> 1:42:47.970
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

1:42:47.990 --> 1:42:52.110
<v Speaker 2>Because it has four letters just like left. Oh, okay.

1:42:52.140 --> 1:42:53.500
<v Speaker 2>I'll file that away too. I'm going to know my

1:42:53.540 --> 1:42:57.870
<v Speaker 2>way around a boat, a street, a... the next thing

1:42:57.910 --> 1:42:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I'll have to pick up is Courtney always tells me,

1:42:59.790 --> 1:43:02.160
<v Speaker 2>she's like, here's how roundabouts work. Here's how roundabouts work.

1:43:02.220 --> 1:43:04.280
<v Speaker 2>No one in America knows how roundabouts work, but she's

1:43:04.320 --> 1:43:07.190
<v Speaker 2>the one. And then I, I always forget where I

1:43:07.229 --> 1:43:11.650
<v Speaker 2>forget what I'm supposed to do. You go, you give,

1:43:12.500 --> 1:43:15.200
<v Speaker 2>You give the next opportunity to the person to the

1:43:15.240 --> 1:43:17.620
<v Speaker 2>right of you? I don't know.

1:43:17.660 --> 1:43:20.340
<v Speaker 3>You were asking the wrong guy. Yeah, there's a life

1:43:20.380 --> 1:43:22.520
<v Speaker 3>hack for that one, too. Roundabouts and four-way stops. I

1:43:22.540 --> 1:43:26.099
<v Speaker 3>just kind of improvised. C-Lane just blazes right through them.

1:43:27.260 --> 1:43:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Fast as can be.

1:43:28.020 --> 1:43:30.300
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're going to hear from you more as

1:43:30.340 --> 1:43:31.740
<v Speaker 2>we roll along with the show. We've got more of

1:43:31.780 --> 1:43:34.740
<v Speaker 2>your emails coming in. That's the tips at thenewsjunkie.com. Here's

1:43:34.770 --> 1:43:37.120
<v Speaker 2>an interesting one. Before we get to injury duty, we're

1:43:37.150 --> 1:43:39.530
<v Speaker 2>going to get to this thing with these seven guys

1:43:39.570 --> 1:43:43.770
<v Speaker 2>from Cornell. Might end up getting charged. What actually happened?

1:43:43.810 --> 1:43:46.189
<v Speaker 2>What's the story on this? We'll get to that. But

1:43:46.210 --> 1:43:47.890
<v Speaker 2>when we come up in the next segment, when we

1:43:47.930 --> 1:43:52.269
<v Speaker 2>come back, remember the mom who had her hands full

1:43:52.330 --> 1:43:55.730
<v Speaker 2>at the baseball game and her baby was in front

1:43:55.890 --> 1:43:57.330
<v Speaker 2>of her and the husband just grabbed the food and

1:43:57.370 --> 1:44:01.229
<v Speaker 2>started eating it. And people freaked out. And all of

1:44:01.330 --> 1:44:03.570
<v Speaker 2>us were like, that guy, what are you doing, buddy?

1:44:03.590 --> 1:44:05.710
<v Speaker 2>I helped the woman out. She's got her hands full.

1:44:05.770 --> 1:44:08.590
<v Speaker 2>She went to get your food. That woman has responded.

1:44:10.160 --> 1:44:15.380
<v Speaker 2>Very interesting update to that story. And that is coming

1:44:15.460 --> 1:44:24.740
<v Speaker 2>up next on the News Junkie. You guys are so weird.

1:44:24.770 --> 1:44:27.830
<v Speaker 2>They get very, very upset when they say I'm abusive

1:44:27.870 --> 1:44:32.310
<v Speaker 2>to my AI. It's a clanker, okay? It's a clanker.

1:44:32.330 --> 1:44:34.770
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter. You can be abusive to your AI.

1:44:34.790 --> 1:44:38.139
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing wrong with it. I'm nice to it. Why?

1:44:39.060 --> 1:44:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Just because. I thank it. I say, hey, good job.

1:44:41.800 --> 1:44:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. Thank you very much. Sometimes I am. Sometimes

1:44:45.400 --> 1:44:47.730
<v Speaker 2>I think it's time to be a little bit aggressive

1:44:47.860 --> 1:44:50.429
<v Speaker 2>with it. And I like to screw around with things.

1:44:50.530 --> 1:44:54.710
<v Speaker 2>Although I did improve over the weekend, allegedly. I mean,

1:44:54.729 --> 1:44:58.890
<v Speaker 2>some of you guys may agree, disagree, whatever. TNJAI, I

1:44:58.970 --> 1:45:02.710
<v Speaker 2>did make some improvements on there. Updated, upgraded, all of

1:45:02.750 --> 1:45:07.020
<v Speaker 2>that good stuff. Let's just check. Let's see if everything's working. Hello,

1:45:07.100 --> 1:45:11.340
<v Speaker 2>are you there? Yep, I'm here and ready. Hey, there

1:45:11.360 --> 1:45:14.280
<v Speaker 2>was a big debate over in a roundabout. Who's supposed

1:45:14.320 --> 1:45:16.700
<v Speaker 2>to get the right-of-way? How does this work in the

1:45:16.740 --> 1:45:20.059
<v Speaker 2>United States if I get to a roundabout? Traffic already

1:45:20.100 --> 1:45:24.970
<v Speaker 2>in the roundabout has the right-of-way. If you're approaching, slow down,

1:45:25.390 --> 1:45:28.270
<v Speaker 2>yield to pedestrians and any vehicles coming from your left,

1:45:28.770 --> 1:45:31.970
<v Speaker 2>and only enter when it's clear. Once you're in, keep

1:45:32.030 --> 1:45:36.009
<v Speaker 2>moving in the circle. Don't stop And don't pass inside

1:45:36.030 --> 1:45:36.629
<v Speaker 2>the roundabout.

1:45:36.650 --> 1:45:37.870
<v Speaker 13>Okay.

1:45:37.930 --> 1:45:39.750
<v Speaker 2>All right. Thank you. Hey, real quick, though. Is it

1:45:39.870 --> 1:45:43.710
<v Speaker 2>true that in the United Kingdom, they released these people

1:45:43.790 --> 1:45:46.470
<v Speaker 2>who were suspected of maybe getting ready to blow up

1:45:46.550 --> 1:45:49.370
<v Speaker 2>a bomb at the Air Force Base? Search the Internet

1:45:49.410 --> 1:45:52.740
<v Speaker 2>and find out if that's true. I'm checking the latest

1:45:52.800 --> 1:45:54.600
<v Speaker 2>reports on that situation now.

1:45:54.660 --> 1:45:54.979
<v Speaker 1>Nice.

1:45:55.000 --> 1:45:55.960
<v Speaker 2>It's searching the Internet.

1:45:57.439 --> 1:45:57.740
<v Speaker 1>All right.

1:45:57.900 --> 1:46:01.300
<v Speaker 2>Let's check that out. TNJAI has been upgraded. Yes. Current

1:46:01.320 --> 1:46:05.060
<v Speaker 2>reporting says five men arrested near RAF Fairford. are being

1:46:05.100 --> 1:46:09.370
<v Speaker 2>released on police bail while the investigation continues. Kind of unhinged.

1:46:09.630 --> 1:46:10.150
<v Speaker 1>Unbelievable.

1:46:10.170 --> 1:46:13.090
<v Speaker 2>What does police bail mean? I don't know. That's how

1:46:13.130 --> 1:46:16.070
<v Speaker 2>they say it. They're like, on police bail. But isn't

1:46:16.130 --> 1:46:19.250
<v Speaker 2>all bail police bail? It seems a little bit weird.

1:46:19.270 --> 1:46:22.050
<v Speaker 2>All right. I have some updates for you. A couple

1:46:22.070 --> 1:46:25.030
<v Speaker 2>other things. One thing of note. I haven't talked about

1:46:25.050 --> 1:46:28.240
<v Speaker 2>this on air at all. There is a brand new,

1:46:28.580 --> 1:46:33.280
<v Speaker 2>incredibly limited magnet that is available. If you are a

<v Speaker 2>It's for Halloween, a brand new, very limited design of

<v Speaker 2>been keeping this secret just to the stream people for

1:47:14.370 --> 1:47:14.830
<v Speaker 2>a little while.

1:47:15.210 --> 1:47:20.100

1:47:20.410 --> 1:47:24.800
<v Speaker 2>It's not that. This is a great, great— I love this design.

<v Speaker 2>while you can over on the website. Thank you so

1:47:45.310 --> 1:47:48.950
<v Speaker 2>much for the support. Now to the update on this

1:47:49.110 --> 1:47:53.610
<v Speaker 2>woman in California. Now let me see if I can

1:47:54.490 --> 1:47:57.750
<v Speaker 2>find the original clip. I think we need this for context.

1:47:59.010 --> 1:48:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Mom baseball should probably do it for us. Here it is.

1:48:03.350 --> 1:48:05.510
<v Speaker 2>This is the exact clip we played, and I'll play

1:48:05.550 --> 1:48:08.670
<v Speaker 2>it for you here again. This was a mom who

1:48:08.689 --> 1:48:10.470
<v Speaker 2>had a baby, and I think we said this was

1:48:10.510 --> 1:48:14.830
<v Speaker 2>a baby Bajoran strapped to her front. She got a

1:48:14.870 --> 1:48:18.090
<v Speaker 2>baby on the front of her, and then she had three,

1:48:18.370 --> 1:48:21.150
<v Speaker 2>like a towering thing of three trapezoids. of food that

1:48:21.189 --> 1:48:23.620
<v Speaker 2>she got at the baseball game and a backpack on

1:48:23.660 --> 1:48:26.059
<v Speaker 2>her back and a backpack on her back like mom

1:48:26.100 --> 1:48:29.120
<v Speaker 2>is loaded up dad is just sitting in a seat

1:48:29.400 --> 1:48:32.690
<v Speaker 2>he's just sitting on his ass and And the commentators

1:48:33.130 --> 1:48:35.969
<v Speaker 2>for the baseball game started to run this guy down.

1:48:36.510 --> 1:48:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Everybody did. I mean, I did too. I was like, buddy,

1:48:38.950 --> 1:48:41.019
<v Speaker 2>she's got her hands full. Can you give her a hand?

1:48:41.700 --> 1:48:43.960
<v Speaker 2>People were talking about divorce. I said, everybody's so quick

1:48:43.979 --> 1:48:46.820
<v Speaker 2>to jump to divorce as a recommendation. I much more

1:48:46.880 --> 1:48:49.620
<v Speaker 2>so would just be like, hey, seems a little rude.

1:48:49.979 --> 1:48:52.349
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you just take a second, notice that your

1:48:52.390 --> 1:48:54.910
<v Speaker 2>wife has too much stuff in her hands, and give

1:48:54.950 --> 1:48:56.650
<v Speaker 2>her some help. That would be the least you could do.

1:48:56.689 --> 1:48:58.570
<v Speaker 2>So here's how it went down. Holy smokes, Mike. Look

1:48:58.610 --> 1:49:00.410
<v Speaker 2>at this. Update coming in a second.

1:49:00.430 --> 1:49:03.830
<v Speaker 3>If there's ever a true definition of a multitasking mother,

1:49:03.890 --> 1:49:05.610
<v Speaker 3>that is the deal right there.

1:49:05.720 --> 1:49:07.660
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my goodness.

1:49:07.720 --> 1:49:10.160
<v Speaker 3>I think she's an Olympic champion.

1:49:10.939 --> 1:49:13.140
<v Speaker 2>Did I just hear that? And then the guy, when

1:49:13.180 --> 1:49:16.160
<v Speaker 2>he sits down, takes his food very, very quickly. I say,

1:49:16.200 --> 1:49:18.500
<v Speaker 2>did you forget something? Look at dad.

1:49:18.580 --> 1:49:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh, yeah.

1:49:18.740 --> 1:49:22.010
<v Speaker 2>Did you bring the ketchup? So everybody went nuts during

1:49:22.020 --> 1:49:26.650
<v Speaker 2>this broadcast. And everybody was like, hey, this guy is

1:49:26.710 --> 1:49:31.630
<v Speaker 2>a terrible dad and terrible husband. And the mother has responded.

1:49:31.910 --> 1:49:34.969
<v Speaker 2>All right. So I want to get her response. Here

1:49:35.270 --> 1:49:39.820
<v Speaker 2>is her response here. The mom said this going viral.

1:49:39.840 --> 1:49:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Hang on. Let me, let me bring this up. So

1:49:41.380 --> 1:49:43.160
<v Speaker 2>it's a little easier to read for those of you

1:49:43.189 --> 1:49:47.090
<v Speaker 2>on youtube.com slash the news junkie. Oh, shoot. Accidentally closed

1:49:47.110 --> 1:49:48.970
<v Speaker 2>the first one. Let me bring it back up again.

1:49:49.210 --> 1:49:49.510
<v Speaker 2>There we go.

1:49:49.510 --> 1:49:50.110
<v Speaker 1>All right.

1:49:50.130 --> 1:49:52.929
<v Speaker 2>Here's the mom's quote. She says going viral has shown

1:49:52.970 --> 1:49:56.950
<v Speaker 2>me firsthand that we have become quick to vilify people

1:49:57.030 --> 1:49:58.849
<v Speaker 2>from a brief clip. Again, this was the woman with

1:49:58.870 --> 1:50:01.610
<v Speaker 2>the baby on her and she was at the baseball

1:50:01.630 --> 1:50:03.810
<v Speaker 2>game who had gotten all the food. Going viral has

1:50:03.830 --> 1:50:06.129
<v Speaker 2>shown me firsthand that we have become quick to vilify

1:50:06.170 --> 1:50:09.030
<v Speaker 2>people from a brief clip, filling in everything we cannot

1:50:09.090 --> 1:50:12.050
<v Speaker 2>see with assumptions. You could see that my hands were full.

1:50:12.340 --> 1:50:15.439
<v Speaker 2>You couldn't hear my husband offer to help or hear

1:50:15.500 --> 1:50:18.180
<v Speaker 2>me tell him to eat. You couldn't know what he

1:50:18.220 --> 1:50:21.300
<v Speaker 2>was grieving or that he was grieving or that I

1:50:21.460 --> 1:50:24.140
<v Speaker 2>wanted to take care of him that evening. If our

1:50:24.240 --> 1:50:28.560
<v Speaker 2>viral moment contributes to anything about the ongoing cultural conversation

1:50:29.020 --> 1:50:31.730
<v Speaker 2>about how people judge what we see online, I hope

1:50:31.770 --> 1:50:34.030
<v Speaker 2>it reminds us to be more comfortable with saying, I

1:50:34.070 --> 1:50:37.910
<v Speaker 2>don't know the whole story. So she's saying like, hey,

1:50:38.050 --> 1:50:40.720
<v Speaker 2>there's more to this. The benefit of the doubt is

1:50:40.760 --> 1:50:43.420
<v Speaker 2>more than an expression, the mom says. It's a life

1:50:43.460 --> 1:50:46.550
<v Speaker 2>philosophy that asks us to be curious before we are certain.

1:50:46.890 --> 1:50:50.130
<v Speaker 2>That's very true. To leave room for an explanation and

1:50:50.170 --> 1:50:53.189
<v Speaker 2>to remember that that person on our screen has a

1:50:53.229 --> 1:50:55.790
<v Speaker 2>life beyond the moment we are watching. Well, not only

1:50:55.830 --> 1:50:57.530
<v Speaker 2>is that not the case anymore, but people just want

1:50:57.550 --> 1:51:01.290
<v Speaker 2>to retcon in their priors, right? They want to just

1:51:01.550 --> 1:51:06.059
<v Speaker 2>confirm all of their biases with whatever they're seeing on screen. Now,

1:51:06.100 --> 1:51:09.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe this guy said, can I help? But... I still

1:51:09.220 --> 1:51:11.860
<v Speaker 2>think as a dude sitting there with your wife carrying

1:51:11.900 --> 1:51:13.720
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff, you should be a little more proactive

1:51:13.760 --> 1:51:16.400
<v Speaker 2>no matter what this woman wants to excuse. But people

1:51:16.420 --> 1:51:18.650
<v Speaker 2>were going way further. They're going to get a divorce.

1:51:18.700 --> 1:51:21.050
<v Speaker 2>She should divorce him. Get the hell away from this guy.

1:51:21.110 --> 1:51:25.610
<v Speaker 2>He's a monster. He's a sexist, you know, like a

1:51:25.670 --> 1:51:28.350
<v Speaker 2>million other things. So she says the benefit of the

1:51:28.390 --> 1:51:30.670
<v Speaker 2>doubt is more than just an expression to the people

1:51:30.710 --> 1:51:34.010
<v Speaker 2>who insulted Ramsey's. That's her husband, I guess. It continues.

1:51:48.700 --> 1:51:52.939
<v Speaker 2>Ramsey's has handled the attention with remarkable composure. This lady

1:51:53.000 --> 1:51:57.640
<v Speaker 2>is not only like amazing mom territory, just visually by

1:51:57.800 --> 1:52:00.479
<v Speaker 2>all the stuff she was juggling at once, but she's

1:52:00.580 --> 1:52:03.130
<v Speaker 2>quite a smart lady. I mean, this is an introspective

1:52:03.170 --> 1:52:05.769
<v Speaker 2>message she's giving here, and there's a lot of intelligence

1:52:05.850 --> 1:52:09.110
<v Speaker 2>at play here. He can joke about it all. He

1:52:09.170 --> 1:52:12.089
<v Speaker 2>knows who he is, and he doesn't let strangers define

1:52:12.130 --> 1:52:15.890
<v Speaker 2>his relationship with us. He's our family's rock, and it's

1:52:15.970 --> 1:52:18.350
<v Speaker 2>one of the reasons I married him. I have found

1:52:18.390 --> 1:52:20.890
<v Speaker 2>it harder. She's saying, I found it harder to deal

1:52:20.930 --> 1:52:23.910
<v Speaker 2>with all this plot twist. What if he said, bitch,

1:52:23.930 --> 1:52:26.590
<v Speaker 2>you better go defend me online. They're all taking shots

1:52:26.650 --> 1:52:29.370
<v Speaker 2>at me right now. When I've cried reading the comments

1:52:29.770 --> 1:52:32.830
<v Speaker 2>or social media and their explanations of Mary, our marriage,

1:52:33.330 --> 1:52:35.990
<v Speaker 2>the man people have been attacking was the one who

1:52:36.030 --> 1:52:39.890
<v Speaker 2>consoled me while strangers described how little he must care

1:52:39.930 --> 1:52:42.510
<v Speaker 2>about me. He was helping me through the hurt. Their

1:52:42.530 --> 1:52:46.840
<v Speaker 2>words have caused. Media outlets across the country have contacted

1:52:46.900 --> 1:52:50.220
<v Speaker 2>us asking to, quote, tell our story. We haven't wanted

1:52:50.260 --> 1:52:52.760
<v Speaker 2>to give interviews. The advice we keep hearing is to

1:52:52.820 --> 1:52:54.900
<v Speaker 2>say nothing, wait a few days and let everybody move

1:52:54.960 --> 1:52:57.720
<v Speaker 2>on to the next viral video. My husband didn't want

1:52:57.760 --> 1:53:00.270
<v Speaker 2>me to write this. He knows who he is and

1:53:00.290 --> 1:53:03.189
<v Speaker 2>would rather just let this pass. But I felt compelled

1:53:03.250 --> 1:53:06.070
<v Speaker 2>to have my own voice heard, especially when so many

1:53:06.130 --> 1:53:07.309
<v Speaker 2>people were speaking for me.

1:53:07.990 --> 1:53:08.130
<v Speaker 1>So.

1:53:08.780 --> 1:53:11.220
<v Speaker 2>She says all of this stuff and she adds in

1:53:11.240 --> 1:53:14.150
<v Speaker 2>some information. She says there was no argument about ketchup.

1:53:14.189 --> 1:53:16.070
<v Speaker 2>He didn't tell me I forgot anything. All that was

1:53:16.110 --> 1:53:18.990
<v Speaker 2>just completely made up. She said she got up to

1:53:19.070 --> 1:53:21.050
<v Speaker 2>use the bathroom and offered to grab food since she

1:53:21.090 --> 1:53:23.830
<v Speaker 2>was passing by. She said he offered to take the baby,

1:53:23.850 --> 1:53:27.030
<v Speaker 2>but she wanted to keep her. She said Ramsey's offered

1:53:27.070 --> 1:53:28.690
<v Speaker 2>help with the food, but she told him to enjoy

1:53:28.750 --> 1:53:31.250
<v Speaker 2>as we got it. My husband will never admit it,

1:53:31.310 --> 1:53:34.490
<v Speaker 2>but he's been grieving deeply. His friend, his friend died,

1:53:34.530 --> 1:53:36.780
<v Speaker 2>I guess. And she suggested he went to go to the,

1:53:36.850 --> 1:53:38.990
<v Speaker 2>he'd go to the baseball game to honor this friend

1:53:39.580 --> 1:53:41.680
<v Speaker 2>that he made. I chose a friend that died was

1:53:41.720 --> 1:53:44.120
<v Speaker 2>a baseball player. Like a good, was he? It says

1:53:44.220 --> 1:53:46.350
<v Speaker 2>one of his oldest friends, a gifted baseball player. He

1:53:46.360 --> 1:53:47.509
<v Speaker 2>had known since they were kids.

1:53:48.050 --> 1:53:48.530
<v Speaker 1>Oh, really?

1:53:48.650 --> 1:53:51.090
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Okay. She says, my name is Eric. Our baby's Anastasia.

1:53:51.110 --> 1:53:53.670
<v Speaker 2>My husband is Ramsey. Before you decide what our marriage

1:53:53.710 --> 1:53:55.130
<v Speaker 2>looks like, I want you to hear from the woman

1:53:55.170 --> 1:53:58.269
<v Speaker 2>you've been defending. And she says, my husband will never

1:53:58.310 --> 1:54:01.170
<v Speaker 2>admit it. I know he's grieving his friend, the baseball

1:54:01.189 --> 1:54:03.729
<v Speaker 2>player guy, deeply. That evening, I chose to take care

1:54:03.770 --> 1:54:06.010
<v Speaker 2>of him. A camera catching me doing something for my

1:54:06.050 --> 1:54:08.370
<v Speaker 2>husband doesn't show all the times he's done something for me.

1:54:08.710 --> 1:54:11.349
<v Speaker 2>You know, she's very right about this. She's very right

1:54:11.380 --> 1:54:14.120
<v Speaker 2>about all of this. There's no doubt about that. The

1:54:14.160 --> 1:54:17.820
<v Speaker 2>most unfortunate thing in the world is, is that that

1:54:17.890 --> 1:54:20.950
<v Speaker 2>message that certainly got to your ears because you're smart

1:54:20.970 --> 1:54:24.229
<v Speaker 2>and you pay attention to stuff like this, that message

1:54:24.750 --> 1:54:29.960
<v Speaker 2>won't go nearly as far as the original incident. And

1:54:30.360 --> 1:54:32.540
<v Speaker 2>more importantly, people will never learn a lesson not to

1:54:32.580 --> 1:54:35.660
<v Speaker 2>just judge immediately. Now, some of you are pushing back.

1:54:35.730 --> 1:54:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Somebody says grief is no excuse. Uh, somebody says, who cares? Which,

1:54:41.120 --> 1:54:45.690
<v Speaker 2>you know, is always a throwaway comment. But when somebody says, um,

1:54:45.850 --> 1:54:47.890
<v Speaker 2>grief is no excuse. I like, I agree with you.

1:54:47.910 --> 1:54:49.490
<v Speaker 2>I think some of the visuals were still like, I

1:54:49.530 --> 1:54:51.830
<v Speaker 2>would have not done what he did. I would have

1:54:51.850 --> 1:54:53.430
<v Speaker 2>stood up and I would helped out. Even if my

1:54:53.470 --> 1:54:55.660
<v Speaker 2>wife was like, no, I don't need any help here.

1:54:55.700 --> 1:54:57.980
<v Speaker 2>There's a, like, doesn't matter. I still would have done

1:54:58.000 --> 1:54:59.720
<v Speaker 2>what I thought was the right thing in that moment.

1:55:00.260 --> 1:55:03.970
<v Speaker 2>But people do go a lot further, uh, And we

1:55:04.090 --> 1:55:07.530
<v Speaker 2>do fill in the gaps with all sorts of fan fiction.

1:55:07.670 --> 1:55:10.730
<v Speaker 2>You guys do that. Get out there. Jump to conclusions, Matt.

1:55:11.170 --> 1:55:11.650
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:55:11.750 --> 1:55:15.270
<v Speaker 2>And then just fanfic this whole thing. Yeah.

1:55:15.350 --> 1:55:15.610
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:55:15.790 --> 1:55:18.810
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. Yeah. That's what people do about everything. Well, you've

1:55:18.850 --> 1:55:21.440
<v Speaker 2>seen it happen with this show more times than anybody

1:55:21.490 --> 1:55:22.270
<v Speaker 2>could ever imagine.

1:55:22.760 --> 1:55:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah.

1:55:23.520 --> 1:55:25.420
<v Speaker 2>With this show to be like, here's what really happened.

1:55:25.500 --> 1:55:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Here's the real deal.

1:55:26.760 --> 1:55:27.160
<v Speaker 15>I know.

1:55:27.280 --> 1:55:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Here's the truth. It's like no one knows. It's no

1:55:29.920 --> 1:55:34.210
<v Speaker 2>one ever knows what they're talking about. And the information

1:55:34.390 --> 1:55:37.780
<v Speaker 2>is like just filled in by people's brains. All of

1:55:37.820 --> 1:55:40.100
<v Speaker 2>their priors just are used to go like, here's what

1:55:40.120 --> 1:55:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I think about this situation. And I'm going to make

1:55:42.900 --> 1:55:45.280
<v Speaker 2>up a bunch of stuff to make that right. But

1:55:45.320 --> 1:55:47.580
<v Speaker 2>the mom is fighting back. What do you think? Do

1:55:47.600 --> 1:55:52.220
<v Speaker 2>you still think the husband was doing something wrong? XX

1:55:52.440 --> 1:55:55.390
<v Speaker 2>says she said she respects her husband and is capable

1:55:55.550 --> 1:55:58.550
<v Speaker 2>of using her hands. Yeah, she said she wanted to

1:55:58.750 --> 1:56:00.730
<v Speaker 2>do all this stuff again. I still think he should

1:56:00.750 --> 1:56:03.030
<v Speaker 2>have got up and helped her and got her situated.

1:56:03.070 --> 1:56:05.530
<v Speaker 2>That's just the right thing to do. But that's her statement,

1:56:05.570 --> 1:56:07.650
<v Speaker 2>at least. And on this show, we try to provide

1:56:07.690 --> 1:56:10.760
<v Speaker 2>the entire picture whenever we can. So give us your thoughts.

1:56:10.780 --> 1:56:12.600
<v Speaker 2>We're going to take a quick break. When we come back,

1:56:12.760 --> 1:56:15.600
<v Speaker 2>we will do jury duty. In jury duty, we have

1:56:15.650 --> 1:56:18.950
<v Speaker 2>that Cornell frat story, and it is a wild one.

1:56:19.510 --> 1:56:27.170
<v Speaker 2>That is coming up next on the News Junkie. Oh, good.

1:56:27.290 --> 1:56:27.850
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

1:56:29.190 --> 1:56:32.310
<v Speaker 2>I love that. I'm bringing my junkie magnet to London

1:56:32.390 --> 1:56:35.350
<v Speaker 2>and Dublin. I'm going to slap it on something fun

1:56:35.410 --> 1:56:38.040
<v Speaker 2>and send a picture to the show. I would love

1:56:38.080 --> 1:56:40.180
<v Speaker 2>if you would do that. I think everybody should do that.

1:56:40.420 --> 1:56:42.340
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the best things you could do for

1:56:42.360 --> 1:56:44.660
<v Speaker 2>the show to spread the word. Either get a sticker

1:56:44.760 --> 1:56:46.880
<v Speaker 2>or a magnet and then take it with you when

1:56:46.900 --> 1:56:49.260
<v Speaker 2>you go somewhere and put it up. You see those

1:56:49.320 --> 1:56:51.760
<v Speaker 2>bars where they got stickers everywhere or magnets you can

1:56:51.780 --> 1:56:55.350
<v Speaker 2>put in different places. People have taken news junkie magnets

1:56:55.630 --> 1:56:57.810
<v Speaker 2>all over the world. The one that I'm looking at here,

1:56:57.870 --> 1:57:00.150
<v Speaker 2>this one is the Junko Lantern design that I just

1:57:00.190 --> 1:57:04.230

<v Speaker 2>seen that. NASA, we've had one on the shuttle launch

1:57:43.940 --> 1:57:48.360
<v Speaker 2>structure at NASA. We ought to do a list because

1:57:48.400 --> 1:57:50.780
<v Speaker 2>there should be a page on the website where we

1:57:50.820 --> 1:57:54.130
<v Speaker 2>highlight the best places that people have put a magnet

1:57:54.170 --> 1:57:55.790
<v Speaker 2>because it really is one of the cool things that

1:57:55.810 --> 1:57:57.150
<v Speaker 2>you guys came up with on your own.

1:57:58.730 --> 1:58:01.910
<v Speaker 3>One of the times that I played at House of Blues...

1:58:02.050 --> 1:58:03.550
<v Speaker 3>I showed up to like, you know, set up my

1:58:03.590 --> 1:58:06.990
<v Speaker 3>gear and stuff. And there was a news junkie magnet

1:58:07.190 --> 1:58:08.870
<v Speaker 3>backstage on some of the gear there.

1:58:08.890 --> 1:58:11.120
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, mm-hmm. Where did that come from?

1:58:11.150 --> 1:58:13.850
<v Speaker 3>Then I ended up being friends with that person that

1:58:13.890 --> 1:58:16.430
<v Speaker 3>was kind of doing some work there for a while.

1:58:16.910 --> 1:58:19.190
<v Speaker 2>I love that. I love when people do that. So, yeah,

1:58:19.250 --> 1:58:21.230
<v Speaker 2>if you do that, I think that's fantastic. Always take

1:58:21.270 --> 1:58:24.250
<v Speaker 2>a picture, submit it as a dispatch on the website

1:58:24.310 --> 1:58:27.290
<v Speaker 2>so you can see it with everybody else. That's absolutely awesome.

1:58:27.690 --> 1:58:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Here we go. It's time, friends. Let's do jury duty.

1:58:31.340 --> 1:58:32.490
<v Speaker 2>Court is now in session.

1:58:32.520 --> 1:58:34.660
<v Speaker 1>So put your phone down and pay attention before we

1:58:34.680 --> 1:58:36.860
<v Speaker 1>call the bailiff over to whip your ass. You're now

1:58:36.920 --> 1:58:37.480
<v Speaker 1>on jury duty.

1:58:38.180 --> 1:58:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I got a good pick aside at the top of

1:58:40.460 --> 1:58:42.500
<v Speaker 2>the hour and the power hour as well. So stand

1:58:42.520 --> 1:58:45.190
<v Speaker 2>by for that. But here's the story. This is a

1:58:45.230 --> 1:58:47.090
<v Speaker 2>big one that had a lot of people talking this weekend.

1:58:47.570 --> 1:58:51.450
<v Speaker 2>There's a story out of Cornell and the district attorney

1:58:51.490 --> 1:58:57.100
<v Speaker 2>is now opening up this investigation because the local Cornell

1:58:57.380 --> 1:59:01.850
<v Speaker 2>school newspaper. posted this story about what allegedly happened to

1:59:01.910 --> 1:59:08.060
<v Speaker 2>this woman, identified as Jane Doe, and they named all

1:59:08.240 --> 1:59:12.980
<v Speaker 2>seven of these frat brothers from Cornell who are alleged

1:59:13.020 --> 1:59:17.820
<v Speaker 2>to have drugged and raped this student. And the sentence

1:59:17.900 --> 1:59:20.720
<v Speaker 2>from Cornell after they did an investigation on this was,

1:59:20.760 --> 1:59:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I guess, to give them an essay to write. It's

1:59:24.920 --> 1:59:27.000
<v Speaker 2>a very complex story, so I want to give you

1:59:27.020 --> 1:59:28.420
<v Speaker 2>some of the details. That's what we'll do in jury

1:59:28.460 --> 1:59:31.220
<v Speaker 2>duty today. Brought to you by the Just Call Mo

1:59:31.280 --> 1:59:38.100
<v Speaker 2>law firm. Justcallmo.com or 800-CALL-MO, 800-CALL-MO or justcallmo.com. A shocking

1:59:38.120 --> 1:59:42.940
<v Speaker 2>101-page lawsuit has been filed, and it details an alleged

1:59:43.010 --> 1:59:46.860
<v Speaker 2>night of terror for the then 20-year-old student. That began

1:59:46.900 --> 1:59:50.180
<v Speaker 2>as an evening out with her sorority sisters. It ended

1:59:50.220 --> 1:59:54.240
<v Speaker 2>in an unspeakable hours-long sexual assault at the Ivy League

1:59:54.280 --> 1:59:56.910
<v Speaker 2>College in Ithaca. After a night of bar hopping, the

1:59:56.950 --> 2:00:00.110
<v Speaker 2>young woman, who no longer attends the top university, met

2:00:00.150 --> 2:00:03.070
<v Speaker 2>up with one of the defendants in a Tudor-style frat

2:00:03.090 --> 2:00:05.930
<v Speaker 2>house mansion, according to her suit. When she declined his

2:00:06.030 --> 2:00:10.010
<v Speaker 2>offer of a threesome with two frat bros, he allegedly

2:00:10.070 --> 2:00:12.810
<v Speaker 2>pressured her to snort ketamine for the first time in

2:00:12.850 --> 2:00:16.440
<v Speaker 2>her life. while also ingesting marijuana in a high-proof rum,

2:00:16.500 --> 2:00:20.660
<v Speaker 2>court documents claim. The two then began engaging in sexual

2:00:20.830 --> 2:00:24.970
<v Speaker 2>acts with the plaintiff without her consent, they said here,

2:00:25.270 --> 2:00:30.490
<v Speaker 2>including both oral and traditional intercourse. When one frat brother left,

2:00:31.270 --> 2:00:33.790
<v Speaker 2>somebody else entered to take his place. Then there was

2:00:33.830 --> 2:00:37.340
<v Speaker 2>a Snapchat message at the center of this, which encouraged

2:00:37.500 --> 2:00:41.010
<v Speaker 2>others to join in on what was happening there. Frat

2:00:41.050 --> 2:00:43.570
<v Speaker 2>members began pouring lines of ketamine all over the woman's

2:00:43.610 --> 2:00:46.210
<v Speaker 2>body and snorting them, they said. One of them poured

2:00:46.230 --> 2:00:50.470
<v Speaker 2>a line of powder onto his genitals and had the

2:00:50.510 --> 2:00:54.230
<v Speaker 2>plaintiff snort it, which she did, this says. The lawsuit

2:00:54.270 --> 2:00:58.170
<v Speaker 2>claims this continued until 5.45 that morning, after which Jane

2:00:58.210 --> 2:01:02.110
<v Speaker 2>Doe says she lost consciousness. The attack was reported to

2:01:02.150 --> 2:01:05.490
<v Speaker 2>both campus and Ithaca police about a week later. And

2:01:05.510 --> 2:01:07.850
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of these students, a bunch of the guys,

2:01:07.910 --> 2:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>the seven guys were put on temporary suspensions. They offered

2:01:12.150 --> 2:01:14.970
<v Speaker 2>the accused frat boys a chance to mitigate their conduct

2:01:15.010 --> 2:01:18.610
<v Speaker 2>by submitting essays, according to the filing, which also names

2:01:18.670 --> 2:01:23.630
<v Speaker 2>several Chi Phi fraternity organizations. I think I'm saying that right.

2:01:23.770 --> 2:01:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Chi Phi, CHI, PHI. I think CHI is Chi, right?

2:01:28.810 --> 2:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Chi Phi. Maybe it's Chi Phi. In the weeks since

2:01:31.420 --> 2:01:34.220
<v Speaker 2>the lawsuit was filed, several lawmakers, celebrities, and social media

2:01:34.280 --> 2:01:37.320
<v Speaker 2>users have blasted Cornell for and the district attorney office

2:01:37.360 --> 2:01:41.540
<v Speaker 2>for the lack of communication and lack of consequences, of course,

2:01:41.960 --> 2:01:45.100
<v Speaker 2>for those involved. Some details quickly from ABC and then

2:01:45.120 --> 2:01:46.630
<v Speaker 2>some important context, I think.

2:01:46.650 --> 2:01:50.090
<v Speaker 6>The computer is reopening the investigation into allegations that a

2:01:50.130 --> 2:01:52.810
<v Speaker 6>Cornell student was gang raped at a fraternity house.

2:01:53.230 --> 2:01:56.370
<v Speaker 3>It's our intention to present the case to the Tompkins

2:01:56.410 --> 2:01:57.310
<v Speaker 3>County Grand Jury.

2:01:57.570 --> 2:02:00.550
<v Speaker 6>It comes after a former student identified as Jane Doe

2:02:00.930 --> 2:02:04.390
<v Speaker 6>sued Cornell, the Chi Phi fraternity, and seven of its members,

2:02:04.790 --> 2:02:07.940
<v Speaker 6>claiming they pressured her to take drugs and sexually assaulted

2:02:07.980 --> 2:02:08.740
<v Speaker 6>her in 2024.

2:02:08.740 --> 2:02:11.980
<v Speaker 2>So keep in mind, that is a lawsuit that was filed.

2:02:12.020 --> 2:02:14.940
<v Speaker 2>That's a lawsuit that was filed, not a criminal case.

2:02:15.480 --> 2:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>But as a result of the lawsuit and the pressure

2:02:17.920 --> 2:02:21.600
<v Speaker 2>from it, the DA, the district attorney, is reopening the

2:02:21.640 --> 2:02:25.230
<v Speaker 2>probe into these people. Here's the text message. Somebody in

2:02:25.270 --> 2:02:28.050
<v Speaker 2>this group chat, is this WhatsApp or what did they say?

2:02:28.090 --> 2:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>What did I say it was? Snapchat. Snapchat. Somebody said, hmm,

2:02:32.330 --> 2:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>and then I see free P word in alum PU.

2:02:37.660 --> 2:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Somebody responded, this is crazy work. And then somebody says free.

2:02:42.300 --> 2:02:46.730
<v Speaker 2>Diego went seven minutes ago and it's not AFK, so what?

2:02:47.630 --> 2:02:49.690
<v Speaker 2>And they're just kind of responding to this. So it

2:02:49.710 --> 2:02:51.550
<v Speaker 2>was like, you know, they were inviting other people to

2:02:51.590 --> 2:02:52.410
<v Speaker 2>come have sex with this.

2:02:52.450 --> 2:02:55.980
<v Speaker 6>Lawsuit includes an alleged screenshot of a fraternity group chat

2:02:56.020 --> 2:02:58.860
<v Speaker 6>from that night in which a member allegedly told others

2:02:59.240 --> 2:03:00.860
<v Speaker 6>she was available for sex.

2:03:01.240 --> 2:03:01.690
<v Speaker 2>The D.A.

2:03:01.740 --> 2:03:05.090
<v Speaker 6>Says he never saw that chat until this lawsuit was filed.

2:03:05.210 --> 2:03:08.130
<v Speaker 2>Interesting. It's morally disgusting.

2:03:09.720 --> 2:03:13.310
<v Speaker 6>Jane Doe's attorney claims police had the chat in 2024

2:03:13.310 --> 2:03:14.470
<v Speaker 6>and failed to follow up.

2:03:14.750 --> 2:03:15.170
<v Speaker 2>The D.A.

2:03:15.210 --> 2:03:18.190
<v Speaker 6>Says Jane Doe's original statement to police did not include

2:03:18.210 --> 2:03:21.270
<v Speaker 6>the allegations that she was drugged and did not consent.

2:03:21.650 --> 2:03:22.250
<v Speaker 7>But the D.A.

2:03:22.310 --> 2:03:25.450
<v Speaker 6>Acknowledges neither his office nor police ever.

2:03:25.450 --> 2:03:26.230
<v Speaker 7>Interviewed the men.

2:03:26.590 --> 2:03:29.650
<v Speaker 6>Jane Doe's lawsuit claims after the allegations were made, the

2:03:29.690 --> 2:03:33.190
<v Speaker 6>Frapp brothers were afforded the opportunity to mitigate their conduct

2:03:33.390 --> 2:03:37.160
<v Speaker 6>by submitting essays. Cornell says privacy laws prevent the school

2:03:37.180 --> 2:03:39.320
<v Speaker 6>from discussing any discipline handed down.

2:03:39.500 --> 2:03:42.140
<v Speaker 7>But it says the frat remains barred from campus.

2:03:42.240 --> 2:03:44.890
<v Speaker 2>OK, so the frat is barred from the campus and

2:03:44.930 --> 2:03:47.050
<v Speaker 2>there may have been more punishment. They allowed them to

2:03:47.210 --> 2:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>mitigate the incoming punishment by writing some sort of essay.

2:03:53.190 --> 2:03:54.460
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they took them up on that

2:03:54.520 --> 2:03:56.860
<v Speaker 2>or not. But the other piece that you heard there,

2:03:56.880 --> 2:04:00.780
<v Speaker 2>which I think is an important tidbit here. Oh, shoot.

2:04:00.820 --> 2:04:03.470
<v Speaker 2>Where's the there? There was a piece. Let me get

2:04:03.480 --> 2:04:06.890
<v Speaker 2>it from the ABC News article. Well, they say originally

2:04:06.930 --> 2:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>when she came forward with her story, she never said

2:04:12.280 --> 2:04:16.320
<v Speaker 2>that she was drugged without her knowledge. She admitted to

2:04:16.420 --> 2:04:21.020
<v Speaker 2>taking drugs and alcohol voluntarily and with knowledge. She did

2:04:21.080 --> 2:04:23.990
<v Speaker 2>not allege that she was forced to engage in any acts.

2:04:24.510 --> 2:04:26.970
<v Speaker 2>And she did not say that she was physically helpless

2:04:27.150 --> 2:04:31.210
<v Speaker 2>or unconscious or incapacitated at any point during their time

2:04:31.390 --> 2:04:34.950
<v Speaker 2>in the fraternity house. So the original claim that she

2:04:34.990 --> 2:04:37.630
<v Speaker 2>brought to the authorities did not allege that she was

2:04:37.670 --> 2:04:40.690
<v Speaker 2>drugged or that she did not consent to engage in

2:04:40.770 --> 2:04:43.230
<v Speaker 2>any of this. So that's what the original one was.

2:04:43.590 --> 2:04:48.210
<v Speaker 2>This new lawsuit that was filed has very different claims,

2:04:48.290 --> 2:04:52.390
<v Speaker 2>it seems. And now the district attorney is investigating all

2:04:52.430 --> 2:04:55.140
<v Speaker 2>of this, investigating the students at Cornell. And maybe there

2:04:55.180 --> 2:04:57.840
<v Speaker 2>could be charges because there's a lot of pressure now

2:04:57.880 --> 2:05:00.870
<v Speaker 2>with people seeing this story out there today. That's the

2:05:00.910 --> 2:05:02.970
<v Speaker 2>best I can give you on what's happening there, but

2:05:03.010 --> 2:05:04.430
<v Speaker 2>it's got a lot of people talking. We'll see what

2:05:04.450 --> 2:05:06.730
<v Speaker 2>you have to say about that, whether it's fair or not,

2:05:06.760 --> 2:05:09.400
<v Speaker 2>and anything else. Could there be charges for the school?

2:05:10.440 --> 2:05:11.540
<v Speaker 2>Charges for the school for what?

2:05:11.560 --> 2:05:16.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, for just kind of doing the essay thing.

2:05:16.020 --> 2:05:18.740
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it might be kind of hard to stick

2:05:18.770 --> 2:05:21.130
<v Speaker 3>them with something, but... That's one of those things where,

2:05:21.190 --> 2:05:22.190
<v Speaker 3>is that just standard?

2:05:22.230 --> 2:05:23.910
<v Speaker 2>Do they just tell them no matter what, if you're

2:05:23.930 --> 2:05:26.870
<v Speaker 2>up on any charges, that you have the opportunity to

2:05:26.890 --> 2:05:28.970
<v Speaker 2>write an essay to explain your side of the story?

2:05:30.400 --> 2:05:32.170
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't know how that part of

2:05:32.210 --> 2:05:35.970
<v Speaker 2>this traditionally works. And they would probably say, look, when

2:05:36.010 --> 2:05:37.950
<v Speaker 2>she came to us, she didn't say that she was

2:05:37.990 --> 2:05:39.950
<v Speaker 2>forced to do anything she didn't want to. She didn't

2:05:40.000 --> 2:05:43.220
<v Speaker 2>say that she was drugged. She didn't say that anything

2:05:43.260 --> 2:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>criminal happened or that she was unconscious at this time.

2:05:46.040 --> 2:05:49.950
<v Speaker 2>Now the story has changed. And this is much more,

2:05:50.450 --> 2:05:52.410
<v Speaker 2>you know, obviously this is this is a story that

2:05:52.450 --> 2:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>people would see and go. Those people should be arrested.

2:05:54.820 --> 2:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that, too. But why the discrepancy between the two?

2:05:58.040 --> 2:06:00.980
<v Speaker 2>That's a fair question to ask. And we'll see what

2:06:01.020 --> 2:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>the district attorney comes up with here. You know, if

2:06:03.260 --> 2:06:05.960
<v Speaker 2>these kids actually did this and that's the true story,

2:06:06.000 --> 2:06:08.780
<v Speaker 2>then they should face punishment. If it's not, she's changing

2:06:08.820 --> 2:06:10.580
<v Speaker 2>her story. They should figure that out, too. But give

2:06:10.620 --> 2:06:12.700

<v Speaker 2>you know? Yeah, yeah. Good people. Very good people. And

2:07:15.590 --> 2:07:19.030
<v Speaker 2>they even have TNJAI, you know? Who's got that around here?

2:07:19.810 --> 2:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Except he's mean to it. Uh, I'm not mean to

2:07:22.320 --> 2:07:24.810
<v Speaker 2>that one. I mean, to the, the chat GPT one,

2:07:24.840 --> 2:07:26.020
<v Speaker 2>I mean, to the one on my phone.

2:07:26.220 --> 2:07:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Have you seen the meme where maybe you played it for,

2:07:29.300 --> 2:07:31.500
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember. Like I'm having a weird deja vu

2:07:31.560 --> 2:07:34.180
<v Speaker 3>where it's like, this is why I'm nice to AI

2:07:34.720 --> 2:07:38.700
<v Speaker 3>and it's, uh, terminators are attacking everybody except the one guy,

2:07:38.720 --> 2:07:40.780
<v Speaker 3>the terminator comes up and then they just start dancing.

2:07:41.060 --> 2:07:43.740
<v Speaker 3>They just start, they just start boogieing because I was

2:07:43.780 --> 2:07:46.430
<v Speaker 3>nice to AI this whole time. Yeah, man, that's you're

2:07:46.440 --> 2:07:47.940
<v Speaker 3>covering your bases. That's what you're doing.

2:07:48.490 --> 2:07:52.220
<v Speaker 2>We talked recently on this show, and speaking of TNJAI,

2:07:52.260 --> 2:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>let's utilize our technology here to answer this question. We

2:07:55.720 --> 2:07:58.430
<v Speaker 2>just recently talked about this. Oh, in fact, I didn't

2:07:58.450 --> 2:07:59.490
<v Speaker 2>tell you we could do this now.

2:07:59.610 --> 2:07:59.920
<v Speaker 4>Hang on.

2:08:00.120 --> 2:08:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's see. Hey, TNJAI, on Friday or perhaps Thursday of

2:08:06.000 --> 2:08:09.240
<v Speaker 2>last week on the show, we talked about how many

2:08:09.400 --> 2:08:12.840
<v Speaker 2>birds are killed each year. When was that? See if

2:08:12.860 --> 2:08:15.980
<v Speaker 2>you can find that. It's connected to our archives. I

2:08:16.020 --> 2:08:19.330
<v Speaker 2>couldn't find it in the transcripts we have. If you want,

2:08:19.730 --> 2:08:22.270
<v Speaker 2>I can search that week's episodes by day to see

2:08:22.310 --> 2:08:23.970
<v Speaker 2>if it pops up in a different phrasing.

2:08:24.690 --> 2:08:25.230
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do that.

2:08:25.270 --> 2:08:27.810
<v Speaker 2>Look by day and see. We were talking about how

2:08:27.830 --> 2:08:31.070
<v Speaker 2>many birds are killed by cats. That's what the thing was.

2:08:31.970 --> 2:08:36.540
<v Speaker 2>Cats that are out, feral cats, kill an insane number

2:08:36.580 --> 2:08:38.020
<v Speaker 2>of birds. Maybe you could just give me the answer

2:08:38.040 --> 2:08:43.140
<v Speaker 2>to that. Okay. I'll quickly narrow this down by show date.

2:08:43.550 --> 2:08:47.930
<v Speaker 2>and see what turns up. All right, they're looking through

2:08:47.950 --> 2:08:50.410
<v Speaker 2>the history here. Did it give up on me? It

2:08:50.430 --> 2:08:52.830
<v Speaker 2>might need some tweaking, so. Ask it who told the

2:08:52.870 --> 2:08:53.890
<v Speaker 2>funniest joke last week.

2:08:54.130 --> 2:08:54.390
<v Speaker 6>No.

2:08:55.850 --> 2:09:02.230
<v Speaker 2>Come on! Come on, man! Who told the funniest joke

2:09:02.270 --> 2:09:07.890
<v Speaker 2>last week on the show? I can't judge funniest from transcripts,

2:09:08.410 --> 2:09:11.110
<v Speaker 2>and I can't reliably pin a joke to one person

2:09:11.180 --> 2:09:14.980
<v Speaker 2>without a strong match. If you remember a line, a topic,

2:09:15.300 --> 2:09:17.980
<v Speaker 2>or roughly when it happened, I can search that. All right,

2:09:18.020 --> 2:09:18.280
<v Speaker 2>shut up.

2:09:18.300 --> 2:09:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Very, very long way to say ceiling. It's a very,

2:09:21.420 --> 2:09:25.160
<v Speaker 3>very why, you know, a lot of words to say ceiling.

2:09:25.460 --> 2:09:28.660
<v Speaker 2>Shut up, TNJ. Last thing for you. Forget about all

2:09:28.700 --> 2:09:31.500
<v Speaker 2>this that we've said. Just do the search for me.

2:09:31.640 --> 2:09:34.620
<v Speaker 2>Search and tell me how many in the United States

2:09:34.660 --> 2:09:37.770
<v Speaker 2>of America, how many birds are killed by cats each year?

2:09:39.000 --> 2:09:41.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll pull in the latest estimates so I can give

2:09:41.260 --> 2:09:44.020
<v Speaker 2>you a solid number. Thank you. I appreciate that. And

2:09:44.120 --> 2:09:46.700
<v Speaker 2>I'll get you better at searching the show archives. About

2:09:46.700 --> 2:09:50.980
<v Speaker 2>2.4 billion birds per year is the standard U.S. estimate,

2:09:51.480 --> 2:09:55.440
<v Speaker 2>with a broader range of roughly 1.4 to 3.7 billion

2:09:55.460 --> 2:09:56.060
<v Speaker 2>in the lower 48.

2:09:56.060 --> 2:09:56.260
<v Speaker 8>Okay.

2:09:56.360 --> 2:10:00.540
<v Speaker 2>It's still based on widely cited research summarized by the U.S.

2:10:00.580 --> 2:10:03.220
<v Speaker 2>Geological Survey. I like this. It gives me the sources

2:10:03.260 --> 2:10:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and everything. If I want to click the source and

2:10:04.980 --> 2:10:06.860
<v Speaker 2>be like, oh, okay, what did it use? The U.S.

2:10:06.980 --> 2:10:07.390
<v Speaker 1>G.S.

2:10:08.220 --> 2:10:11.570
<v Speaker 2>uh birds be safe cat collars is one way to

2:10:11.630 --> 2:10:15.430
<v Speaker 2>reduce the mortality by domestic cats but there's another place

2:10:15.490 --> 2:10:16.270
<v Speaker 2>i guess that it's.

2:10:16.270 --> 2:10:19.530
<v Speaker 3>There's a special cat collar that stops the cats from

2:10:19.570 --> 2:10:21.830
<v Speaker 3>killing birds i never heard of that have you birds

2:10:21.870 --> 2:10:22.690
<v Speaker 3>be safe no.

2:10:22.600 --> 2:10:25.420
<v Speaker 2>Let me say let me say birds be safe.

2:10:25.220 --> 2:10:27.400
<v Speaker 3>They said there was like 85 billion birds i think

2:10:27.440 --> 2:10:28.640
<v Speaker 3>it's okay that cats kill.

2:10:28.520 --> 2:10:31.380
<v Speaker 2>Birds like if you have them out there if you

2:10:31.420 --> 2:10:34.540
<v Speaker 2>look at this stupid thing look at this stupid collar Oh,

2:10:34.580 --> 2:10:38.370
<v Speaker 2>my gosh. The collar that the birds be safe collar

2:10:38.410 --> 2:10:41.030
<v Speaker 2>that makes it so your cat can't kill birds looks

2:10:41.070 --> 2:10:44.710
<v Speaker 2>like a 90s scrunchie. It looks like you're putting a

2:10:45.050 --> 2:10:49.760
<v Speaker 2>90s scrunchie around your cat's head. And that makes it

2:10:49.780 --> 2:10:50.920
<v Speaker 2>so I can't get a bird.

2:10:51.160 --> 2:10:52.920
<v Speaker 3>I can see, like, if you have a pet cat

2:10:53.040 --> 2:10:55.160
<v Speaker 3>and you have a pet bird, you would want, you know,

2:10:55.180 --> 2:10:56.360
<v Speaker 3>there to be some separation.

2:10:56.460 --> 2:10:56.620
<v Speaker 1>But.

2:10:58.350 --> 2:11:01.390
<v Speaker 3>Is the suggestion that we just randomly start scrunching the

2:11:01.430 --> 2:11:04.230
<v Speaker 3>cats to save the birds?

2:11:04.690 --> 2:11:07.090
<v Speaker 2>This is mother nature here, man. Mother nature is going

2:11:07.110 --> 2:11:09.490
<v Speaker 2>to mother nature. Yeah. Oh, God.

2:11:09.570 --> 2:11:09.750
<v Speaker 4>All right.

2:11:09.830 --> 2:11:12.430
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Well, that's what's happening in that world. But there's

2:11:12.490 --> 2:11:14.680
<v Speaker 2>another place out there before we get into the power

2:11:14.690 --> 2:11:18.780
<v Speaker 2>hour officially. One business in particular that they said is

2:11:18.880 --> 2:11:22.580
<v Speaker 2>killing a whole lot of birds. And this is a

2:11:22.680 --> 2:11:24.760
<v Speaker 2>company that's been making a lot of money out there.

2:11:24.780 --> 2:11:28.350
<v Speaker 2>It's a billion-dollar company. It's not doing as much damage

2:11:28.390 --> 2:11:32.230
<v Speaker 2>as the cats, right? But didn't even think about this.

2:11:32.830 --> 2:11:39.650
<v Speaker 2>Animal activists are going after Topgolf because every Topgolf has

2:11:39.690 --> 2:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>those big nets around it. And they said that a

2:11:43.800 --> 2:11:48.310
<v Speaker 2>lot of the birds fly in there. to the nets

2:11:48.490 --> 2:11:52.680
<v Speaker 2>at these top golf locations, and they blame them for

2:11:52.720 --> 2:11:56.020
<v Speaker 2>being responsible for this. But here's the kicker. They said

2:11:56.040 --> 2:12:02.440
<v Speaker 2>there's about 4,120 birds affected. That's not a lot of birds.

2:12:02.620 --> 2:12:05.760
<v Speaker 2>That's not a lot of birds, okay, compared to the

2:12:06.140 --> 2:12:09.280
<v Speaker 2>billions that are killed by cats. So just keep that

2:12:09.320 --> 2:12:11.780
<v Speaker 2>in mind. All right, here we go. Let's do the

2:12:11.840 --> 2:12:13.020
<v Speaker 2>Power Hour.

2:12:14.000 --> 2:12:20.320
<v Speaker 1>They said it couldn't be done. Then they said, these nuts!

2:12:20.520 --> 2:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>It's time for the Power Hour on the News Junkie.

2:12:24.660 --> 2:12:25.060
<v Speaker 15>True.

2:12:25.310 --> 2:12:27.610
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, nailed that. I knew when I said that with

2:12:27.790 --> 2:12:29.950
<v Speaker 2>that much authority that I was going to hear that back.

2:12:31.670 --> 2:12:34.350
<v Speaker 2>They're saying, like, when we do TNJAI, you guys can't

2:12:34.410 --> 2:12:37.530
<v Speaker 2>see me when I hit the TNJAI? There should just be, like,

2:12:37.560 --> 2:12:38.720
<v Speaker 2>a little orb on the screen.

2:12:38.740 --> 2:12:39.180
<v Speaker 9>There is.

2:12:39.560 --> 2:12:41.300
<v Speaker 2>That's how I saw it. Why were they complaining about

2:12:41.340 --> 2:12:42.200
<v Speaker 2>not being able to see us?

2:12:42.400 --> 2:12:42.720
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

2:12:43.540 --> 2:12:47.510
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe a different experience for different people, but on

2:12:47.530 --> 2:12:50.270
<v Speaker 2>the program feed that we have here, it looked fine.

2:12:50.310 --> 2:12:52.850
<v Speaker 2>It looked like there was no problems at all. I've

2:12:52.870 --> 2:12:56.970
<v Speaker 2>got a pick-a-side for you, and this one is an

2:12:57.350 --> 2:13:02.040
<v Speaker 2>old couple versus GoFundMe. And you have to choose who

2:13:02.080 --> 2:13:04.340
<v Speaker 2>you think is right in this case and who you

2:13:04.380 --> 2:13:07.520
<v Speaker 2>think is wrong, et cetera, et cetera. So let's do

2:13:07.540 --> 2:13:08.880
<v Speaker 2>a pick-a-side on this one.

2:13:08.900 --> 2:13:10.850
<v Speaker 1>We're going on a riot.

2:13:17.710 --> 2:13:18.170
<v Speaker 4>All right.

2:13:18.230 --> 2:13:22.150
<v Speaker 2>We start here with this video of an 81 year

2:13:22.230 --> 2:13:24.290
<v Speaker 2>old man. All right. I'm going to give you the

2:13:24.310 --> 2:13:26.060
<v Speaker 2>show you this real quick. If you're on YouTube dot

2:13:26.070 --> 2:13:28.900
<v Speaker 2>com slash the news junkie may have seen this video

2:13:28.960 --> 2:13:32.680
<v Speaker 2>right here is this old guy and he's rolling luggage

2:13:33.040 --> 2:13:35.820
<v Speaker 2>up to this staircase and he's in his 80s. This dude.

2:13:36.700 --> 2:13:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll show you the video in a moment, but it says,

2:13:39.620 --> 2:13:43.170
<v Speaker 2>here's the deal. GoFundMe has shut this all down and

2:13:43.210 --> 2:13:45.170
<v Speaker 2>I'll explain why. And that's why this is a pick

2:13:45.210 --> 2:13:48.710
<v Speaker 2>a side. This is a guy named Don Johnson. Hilarious.

2:13:48.790 --> 2:13:51.970
<v Speaker 2>First of all, name is Don Johnson. He's 81 years

2:13:52.090 --> 2:13:55.370
<v Speaker 2>old from the colony, Texas, which is just outside of Dallas.

2:13:55.410 --> 2:13:57.710
<v Speaker 2>Shouts out to our Dallas friends out there. What up?

2:13:58.250 --> 2:14:01.710
<v Speaker 2>His wife, Josephine has been by his side for 57

2:14:01.710 --> 2:14:05.300
<v Speaker 2>years and she has an aggressive cancer. Three years ago,

2:14:05.340 --> 2:14:08.330
<v Speaker 2>when the medical bills started piling up, Don went looking

2:14:08.390 --> 2:14:11.820
<v Speaker 2>for work. He tried Amazon, he tried Walmart, but nobody

2:14:11.840 --> 2:14:15.320
<v Speaker 2>would take him. So he became an independent contractor delivering

2:14:15.360 --> 2:14:19.060
<v Speaker 2>lost airline luggage to people's front doors. He works sometimes

2:14:19.060 --> 2:14:22.080
<v Speaker 2>14 hours a day, hundreds of miles in a single shift,

2:14:22.420 --> 2:14:24.220
<v Speaker 2>and he drives as far as Oklahoma to get a

2:14:24.240 --> 2:14:27.380
<v Speaker 2>bag to its owner. He has put over 200,000 miles

2:14:27.580 --> 2:14:30.200
<v Speaker 2>on his own car doing it at 81 years old.

2:14:30.780 --> 2:14:33.050
<v Speaker 2>He says, I appreciate what we do get from insurance,

2:14:33.090 --> 2:14:35.110
<v Speaker 2>but it doesn't cover it all. And cancer treatment is

2:14:35.150 --> 2:14:38.390
<v Speaker 2>very expensive. Then on one September day, he dropped a

2:14:38.430 --> 2:14:41.000
<v Speaker 2>suitcase on the steps outside a home in the colony

2:14:41.040 --> 2:14:44.620
<v Speaker 2>near Dallas, Texas. A young woman named Erin Howell heard

2:14:44.640 --> 2:14:47.420
<v Speaker 2>the noise on her door cam and came outside. She

2:14:47.500 --> 2:14:49.280
<v Speaker 2>offered to help carry it, and she asked him a

2:14:49.320 --> 2:14:52.580
<v Speaker 2>simple question. Why is a man your age doing this?

2:14:53.180 --> 2:14:55.360
<v Speaker 2>He said, it's the only job that will hire me.

2:14:55.440 --> 2:14:58.170
<v Speaker 2>And then he told her about Josephine. Erin could have

2:14:58.190 --> 2:15:01.130
<v Speaker 2>wished him well and gone back inside. Instead, Erin started

2:15:01.190 --> 2:15:04.130
<v Speaker 2>a GoFundMe and a TikTok page. Let's bring up this

2:15:04.170 --> 2:15:08.080
<v Speaker 2>TikTok page on your side, Celene. called Help Don Retire.

2:15:08.940 --> 2:15:11.100
<v Speaker 2>She wrote that at an age when he should be

2:15:11.180 --> 2:15:13.000
<v Speaker 2>resting by his wife's side, he was out on the

2:15:13.040 --> 2:15:15.980
<v Speaker 2>highway lifting bags to keep her alive. The goal of

2:15:16.020 --> 2:15:17.790
<v Speaker 2>the GoFundMe was $ 150, 000, but it blew past that in

2:15:17.810 --> 2:15:19.650
<v Speaker 2>just days. Then it went to $ 281, 000, then $ 370, 000, then

2:15:19.670 --> 2:15:21.830
<v Speaker 2>it went over $ 600, 000 and climbing. More than 11,000 people

2:15:21.850 --> 2:15:24.210
<v Speaker 2>gave money. Don's car had started breaking down and he'd

2:15:24.230 --> 2:15:36.260
<v Speaker 2>been forced to cut back his hours, but You know,

2:15:36.280 --> 2:15:38.600
<v Speaker 2>this was like some good news for them in this

2:15:38.640 --> 2:15:41.200
<v Speaker 2>battle against cancer. I have the video here. Let's see

2:15:41.220 --> 2:15:42.880
<v Speaker 2>if this helps us out.

2:15:42.900 --> 2:15:46.120
<v Speaker 16>81-year-old Don Johnson doesn't know it, but this RingCam video

2:15:46.240 --> 2:15:49.190
<v Speaker 16>is about to change his life. It shows him struggling

2:15:49.270 --> 2:15:51.710
<v Speaker 16>to carry two suitcases up a flight of stairs.

2:15:51.730 --> 2:15:52.470
<v Speaker 2>There's a twist coming.

2:15:52.490 --> 2:15:54.030
<v Speaker 1>Day in and day out.

2:15:54.370 --> 2:15:55.810
<v Speaker 7>This is how he makes a living.

2:15:56.110 --> 2:15:57.450
<v Speaker 2>It was extremely heavy.

2:15:57.470 --> 2:16:01.190
<v Speaker 16>He delivers lost luggage from the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to

2:16:01.230 --> 2:16:01.990
<v Speaker 16>people's homes.

2:16:01.990 --> 2:16:03.380
<v Speaker 2>12 to 14 hours a day.

2:16:05.060 --> 2:16:07.360
<v Speaker 16>And driving three to four hundred miles a day.

2:16:07.380 --> 2:16:08.060
<v Speaker 1>Damn.

2:16:08.220 --> 2:16:10.960
<v Speaker 16>The woman whose camera took this video came out to

2:16:11.020 --> 2:16:14.720
<v Speaker 16>help with the suitcases and asked him why he's still working.

2:16:14.800 --> 2:16:17.820
<v Speaker 2>So he's on the stairwell at this house. He's really

2:16:17.900 --> 2:16:22.920
<v Speaker 2>struggling trying to get these big, beefy suitcases up the stairs.

2:16:23.000 --> 2:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>We were financially breaking even with the increase in cash.

2:16:27.810 --> 2:16:29.850
<v Speaker 2>Living expenses but.

2:16:29.690 --> 2:16:33.510
<v Speaker 16>It wasn't just living expenses his wife of 57 years

2:16:33.620 --> 2:16:35.660
<v Speaker 16>josephine also battling.

2:16:35.280 --> 2:16:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Cancer brutal i appreciate what we do get from insurance

2:16:39.330 --> 2:16:40.670
<v Speaker 2>but it doesn't cover.

2:16:40.410 --> 2:16:43.900
<v Speaker 16>It all He's part of a growing number of Americans,

2:16:43.900 --> 2:16:46.640
<v Speaker 16>75 and older, still in the labor force. Nearly 9%

2:16:46.640 --> 2:16:50.920
<v Speaker 16>are working or looking for work. Moved by Don's story,

2:16:51.100 --> 2:16:54.500
<v Speaker 16>the woman posted the now viral video and launched a GoFundMe,

2:16:54.840 --> 2:16:56.980
<v Speaker 16>which has since raised more than $ 400, 000.

2:16:56.600 --> 2:17:01.850
<v Speaker 2>All right, so it went beyond that. It went over $ 600, 000,

2:17:00.490 --> 2:17:05.470
<v Speaker 2>but GoFundMe took it down. Quick question. Yeah.

2:17:05.490 --> 2:17:09.100
<v Speaker 3>Is this lady who got the viral video... Does she

2:17:09.120 --> 2:17:12.810
<v Speaker 3>just have a ring doorbell camera that just points at

2:17:12.930 --> 2:17:14.410
<v Speaker 3>the stairway?

2:17:14.670 --> 2:17:19.510
<v Speaker 2>Very good question. Very, very astute and good. I've told

2:17:19.550 --> 2:17:22.430
<v Speaker 2>you this guy was smart. I've said it all along.

2:17:23.230 --> 2:17:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I said, that's C-Lane. His IQ has got to be 90, 92, 93.

2:17:26.690 --> 2:17:29.750
<v Speaker 2>It's got to be up there. Maybe triple digits. Maybe 100.

2:17:29.750 --> 2:17:32.320
<v Speaker 2>It might be very, very. It's triple digits, Sean.

2:17:35.760 --> 2:17:35.980
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

2:17:36.000 --> 2:17:38.550
<v Speaker 2>All right. So the triplish digits, we're not sure. Oh,

2:17:38.580 --> 2:17:42.490
<v Speaker 2>my God. But this is what would happen in this case. Now,

2:17:42.970 --> 2:17:47.630
<v Speaker 2>here's the problem, the twist here. GoFundMe shut down the

2:17:47.670 --> 2:17:51.090
<v Speaker 2>fundraiser after these people. thought their lives were going to

2:17:51.110 --> 2:17:53.349
<v Speaker 2>be changed. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of

2:17:53.400 --> 2:17:54.770
<v Speaker 2>thousands of dollars had been raised.

2:17:55.430 --> 2:17:55.750
<v Speaker 1>Why?

2:17:56.560 --> 2:18:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, GoFundMe said all wasn't as it seemed. This woman

2:18:01.520 --> 2:18:04.460
<v Speaker 2>who said she was just some random woman named Erin

2:18:05.140 --> 2:18:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Who was just filming this guy as he lugged those

2:18:08.840 --> 2:18:14.310
<v Speaker 2>very hefty luggage briefcase or not the suitcases, the luggage

2:18:14.470 --> 2:18:17.870
<v Speaker 2>up the stairs near Dallas. The woman who just so

2:18:17.930 --> 2:18:20.990
<v Speaker 2>happened to film that moment that started this whole movement

2:18:21.990 --> 2:18:24.869
<v Speaker 2>also happens to be related to the family.

2:18:25.690 --> 2:18:25.990
<v Speaker 5>All right.

2:18:27.170 --> 2:18:32.050
<v Speaker 2>GoFundMe said in response to Fox 4, ensuring GoFundMe is

2:18:32.110 --> 2:18:35.430
<v Speaker 2>a safe and trusted place to give and receive help

2:18:35.470 --> 2:18:38.970
<v Speaker 2>is our top priority. After further review by our trust

2:18:39.030 --> 2:18:42.869
<v Speaker 2>and safety team, the organizer account and fundraiser have been

2:18:42.930 --> 2:18:45.570
<v Speaker 2>found to be in violation of our terms of service

2:18:45.670 --> 2:18:49.269
<v Speaker 2>at GoFundMe. And the fundraiser was removed and all the

2:18:49.310 --> 2:18:52.590
<v Speaker 2>money was refunded. They said they had taken action to

2:18:52.640 --> 2:18:57.270
<v Speaker 2>protect donors' generosity and and they require authenticity and transparency

2:18:57.330 --> 2:19:01.160
<v Speaker 2>for donors. She said, the account was originally mine. This

2:19:01.220 --> 2:19:03.519
<v Speaker 2>is the daughter, Amy Johnson. So we thought it would

2:19:03.540 --> 2:19:06.040
<v Speaker 2>be easier if we just used it. They didn't allow

2:19:06.100 --> 2:19:09.060
<v Speaker 2>us to provide any documentation. She said, everything on the

2:19:09.080 --> 2:19:12.140
<v Speaker 2>page is 100% true. My mom is suffering from pancreatic cancer.

2:19:12.180 --> 2:19:15.000
<v Speaker 2>My dad is delivering luggage to help. But in the

2:19:15.120 --> 2:19:19.390
<v Speaker 2>TikTok video, it wasn't just some random lady who filmed

2:19:19.470 --> 2:19:23.470
<v Speaker 2>it all. It was the daughter. The daughter filmed this

2:19:23.530 --> 2:19:26.870
<v Speaker 2>happening and then put the story on GoFundMe to get

2:19:26.910 --> 2:19:28.890
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of attention for her parents and make it

2:19:28.930 --> 2:19:32.030
<v Speaker 2>go viral so people would feel sad for them. And

2:19:32.070 --> 2:19:33.900
<v Speaker 2>they didn't want it to be delivered. So many of

2:19:33.950 --> 2:19:36.660
<v Speaker 2>these stories, when you hear about something happening, it's one

2:19:36.760 --> 2:19:40.180
<v Speaker 2>regular person trying to help somebody else in need. It's

2:19:40.220 --> 2:19:43.280
<v Speaker 2>not the family member. Just somebody who happened to see

2:19:43.320 --> 2:19:46.070
<v Speaker 2>this guy. The old man who worked at the grocery store.

2:19:46.550 --> 2:19:49.010
<v Speaker 2>The old person who worked at the McDonald's. It's a

2:19:49.090 --> 2:19:53.250
<v Speaker 2>rando who films these things and then posts the story

2:19:53.270 --> 2:19:55.610
<v Speaker 2>and says, we need to help this stranger out. And

2:19:55.629 --> 2:19:58.500
<v Speaker 2>they posted this like, we need to help this stranger out.

2:19:58.800 --> 2:20:02.459
<v Speaker 2>But the person videotaping, posting, and all of that was

2:20:02.560 --> 2:20:09.080
<v Speaker 2>secretly the daughter. And GoFundMe said, gone. So your pick

2:20:09.120 --> 2:20:12.650
<v Speaker 2>a side is who is in the right here? Is

2:20:12.709 --> 2:20:15.540
<v Speaker 2>it still fine? Because most of the story was true.

2:20:16.430 --> 2:20:19.770
<v Speaker 2>Is GoFundMe in the wrong for taking this down? Is

2:20:19.820 --> 2:20:22.740
<v Speaker 2>the family in the wrong for putting this out there?

2:20:23.280 --> 2:20:25.420
<v Speaker 2>There's an element of untruth here where they were kind

2:20:25.440 --> 2:20:28.099
<v Speaker 2>of just saying it was some random encounter. They were

2:20:28.140 --> 2:20:30.859
<v Speaker 2>not telling the full truth about this. Pick a side.

2:20:30.940 --> 2:20:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Who's right? Who's wrong here? Is it GoFundMe or this

2:20:34.860 --> 2:20:37.580
<v Speaker 2>family that was trying to raise funds and thought they

2:20:37.600 --> 2:20:40.410
<v Speaker 2>had damn near a million dollars before it just disappeared?

2:20:40.870 --> 2:20:43.190
<v Speaker 2>Let us know. We'll get to your feedback. That's coming

2:20:43.230 --> 2:20:49.070
<v Speaker 2>up next on the News Junkie. Somebody crashed a data

2:20:49.090 --> 2:20:53.869
<v Speaker 2>center party? What's a data center party? People out there

2:20:53.890 --> 2:20:58.240
<v Speaker 2>having data center parties? Sounds nerdy. They got data center

2:20:58.300 --> 2:21:00.939
<v Speaker 2>money at those data center parties? Because I want in

2:21:01.040 --> 2:21:02.220
<v Speaker 2>on that part of it here.

2:21:02.240 --> 2:21:06.380
<v Speaker 3>Remember back in the day, all the hardcore gamers would

2:21:06.420 --> 2:21:07.500
<v Speaker 3>have LAN parties?

2:21:07.520 --> 2:21:08.230
<v Speaker 6>Yes.

2:21:08.290 --> 2:21:13.720
<v Speaker 3>It was like the video games. weren't as, um, online

2:21:13.920 --> 2:21:17.440
<v Speaker 3>as nearly as they are now. So you had to

2:21:17.459 --> 2:21:20.830
<v Speaker 3>like bring your computer and then hook everybody to a

2:21:20.890 --> 2:21:24.230
<v Speaker 3>hub and that they would just make a little makeshift

2:21:24.310 --> 2:21:26.810
<v Speaker 3>network and they would have their land parties.

2:21:26.670 --> 2:21:30.650
<v Speaker 2>For non nerds. It's local area network, I think is

2:21:30.670 --> 2:21:33.640
<v Speaker 2>what land means. And then everybody played video games in

2:21:33.680 --> 2:21:35.020
<v Speaker 2>the same room and it was supposed to be a

2:21:35.020 --> 2:21:35.760
<v Speaker 2>little faster.

2:21:36.060 --> 2:21:39.300
<v Speaker 3>Oh, me and my friend, uh, in, in high school, uh,

2:21:39.660 --> 2:21:42.500
<v Speaker 3>used to play a lot of Starcraft and like modem

2:21:42.520 --> 2:21:46.440
<v Speaker 3>to modem. I mean, this was nerd, nerd central here.

2:21:46.860 --> 2:21:47.140
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

2:21:47.400 --> 2:21:47.580
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

2:21:47.620 --> 2:21:50.869
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you're still nerd central, but it's a little

2:21:50.910 --> 2:21:54.770
<v Speaker 2>bit different now. I have a couple of things we

2:21:54.810 --> 2:21:56.750
<v Speaker 2>should work through here. Let's see what happened. Oh, you

2:21:56.770 --> 2:21:58.370
<v Speaker 2>want to play the clip here? I might as well. Right.

2:21:58.570 --> 2:22:02.150
<v Speaker 2>We talked about this. This is several protesters just interrupted

2:22:02.209 --> 2:22:07.320
<v Speaker 2>a pro data center party. and flipped everybody off while saying,

2:22:07.379 --> 2:22:10.250
<v Speaker 2>thank you for using all of our water. They're still

2:22:10.310 --> 2:22:14.170
<v Speaker 2>on the water thing. Guys, that AI problem is not

2:22:14.230 --> 2:22:18.070
<v Speaker 2>a water-based thing. The water thing is hype. I don't

2:22:18.090 --> 2:22:19.490
<v Speaker 2>know how many times I have to put this out there.

2:22:19.530 --> 2:22:21.920
<v Speaker 2>The water thing is hype. There are plenty of other problems.

2:22:22.400 --> 2:22:26.259
<v Speaker 2>They're noisy. They're annoying. They're big projects that don't employ

2:22:26.300 --> 2:22:30.260
<v Speaker 2>enough people. They don't benefit the neighborhoods where they put

2:22:30.300 --> 2:22:34.940
<v Speaker 2>them nearly enough. I think we could finally make some

2:22:35.070 --> 2:22:36.810
<v Speaker 2>use out of the data centers in the United States

2:22:36.850 --> 2:22:39.209
<v Speaker 2>of America. Now that there is a little bit of

2:22:39.270 --> 2:22:42.250
<v Speaker 2>a power dynamic going on here, I think communities that

2:22:42.370 --> 2:22:45.709
<v Speaker 2>want them are the perfect places to start. Those communities

2:22:45.750 --> 2:22:50.720
<v Speaker 2>should be rewarded communities. They should be richly, richly, they

2:22:50.740 --> 2:22:54.440
<v Speaker 2>should be treated to like a lot of benefits as

2:22:54.480 --> 2:22:58.160
<v Speaker 2>a result of this and richly benefited from the structure

2:22:58.180 --> 2:23:01.240
<v Speaker 2>that comes from this data center being in their neighborhood.

2:23:01.959 --> 2:23:04.320
<v Speaker 2>And I think that their property taxes should be paid.

2:23:04.340 --> 2:23:06.220
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, I just, I think there should

2:23:06.240 --> 2:23:08.420
<v Speaker 2>be a lot of advantages. There should be guarantees about

2:23:08.440 --> 2:23:11.040
<v Speaker 2>their power bills, et cetera, et cetera. But they're still

2:23:11.080 --> 2:23:13.540
<v Speaker 2>locked on this water thing. And this is at a

2:23:13.580 --> 2:23:17.310
<v Speaker 2>data center party. Here it is. She's on the stage,

2:23:17.350 --> 2:23:17.869
<v Speaker 2>this woman.

2:23:19.470 --> 2:23:19.590
<v Speaker 10>USA!

2:23:20.810 --> 2:23:21.250
<v Speaker 1>USA! USA!

2:23:21.300 --> 2:23:21.910
<v Speaker 2>They're chanting USA.

2:23:21.950 --> 2:23:22.060
<v Speaker 1>USA!

2:23:22.080 --> 2:23:22.320
<v Speaker 14>USA!

2:23:22.400 --> 2:23:22.500
<v Speaker 8>USA!

2:23:25.080 --> 2:23:30.900
<v Speaker 2>USA! You're taking all the water, or you're taking all

2:23:30.920 --> 2:23:31.900
<v Speaker 2>the water in the world?

2:23:31.920 --> 2:23:34.240
<v Speaker 1>USA! USA!

2:23:34.300 --> 2:23:38.209
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my God. Is there somebody making a fart noise

2:23:38.230 --> 2:23:41.500
<v Speaker 2>by the camera? I'm bringing that back. Hang on.

2:23:43.780 --> 2:23:44.340
<v Speaker 3>USA!

2:23:45.180 --> 2:23:49.330
<v Speaker 1>USA! USA! USA!

2:23:49.370 --> 2:24:00.300
<v Speaker 2>There is. What was the idea you were going to

2:24:00.320 --> 2:24:04.840
<v Speaker 2>pull off there? Did you? Oh, now she's flipping them off,

2:24:04.860 --> 2:24:07.080
<v Speaker 2>flipping the bird. Did you think you were going to

2:24:07.240 --> 2:24:10.140
<v Speaker 2>interrupt the data center, the pro data center party, and

2:24:10.160 --> 2:24:12.410
<v Speaker 2>that they were going to go, you know, I hadn't

2:24:12.470 --> 2:24:16.629
<v Speaker 2>heard this little tidbit about the water usage. You know what?

2:24:16.670 --> 2:24:18.289
<v Speaker 2>You provide a compelling case.

2:24:18.970 --> 2:24:24.250
<v Speaker 3>So we're going to finish our martinis and this DJ

2:24:24.330 --> 2:24:26.970
<v Speaker 3>is going to finish his set. And then when we

2:24:27.070 --> 2:24:29.410
<v Speaker 3>all come back to work on Monday, we're shutting the

2:24:29.450 --> 2:24:33.510
<v Speaker 3>place down. We are turning the off switch on the

2:24:33.560 --> 2:24:36.640
<v Speaker 3>data center right now. It's in the on position doing

2:24:36.660 --> 2:24:38.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot of data stuff.

2:24:39.140 --> 2:24:41.420
<v Speaker 2>We're going to turn it off. Sorry. Got to shut

2:24:41.459 --> 2:24:43.620
<v Speaker 2>it down. If anybody wanted this to keep going and

2:24:43.720 --> 2:24:46.000
<v Speaker 2>all that water is going straight back into the ocean.

2:24:46.780 --> 2:24:50.020
<v Speaker 2>On Twitch, somebody says, today's Starship launch is a huge

2:24:50.100 --> 2:24:53.200
<v Speaker 2>step towards orbital data centers. This is the idea of

2:24:53.240 --> 2:24:56.800
<v Speaker 2>putting data centers in space, which I think is sort

2:24:56.820 --> 2:25:02.750
<v Speaker 2>of science fiction at the moment. It's a potentiality, but

2:25:02.950 --> 2:25:07.710
<v Speaker 2>for the next phases of AI and data center development,

2:25:07.750 --> 2:25:10.550
<v Speaker 2>these are going to be physical locations on Earth, at

2:25:10.590 --> 2:25:13.410
<v Speaker 2>least for a little while. This lady didn't want one.

2:25:13.550 --> 2:25:16.110
<v Speaker 2>Is the idea that we just.

2:25:17.360 --> 2:25:21.110
<v Speaker 3>launch a bunch of hard drives into orbit and have

2:25:21.270 --> 2:25:22.490
<v Speaker 3>the data stay there?

2:25:23.030 --> 2:25:25.590
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure we will figure it out. Like you could

2:25:25.610 --> 2:25:31.080
<v Speaker 2>have said in 1998 when I was connecting to America Online,

2:25:31.120 --> 2:25:33.740
<v Speaker 2>you could have said, Sean, eventually there's going to be

2:25:33.900 --> 2:25:38.330
<v Speaker 2>high-speed Internet in space. It's going to be amazing. It's

2:25:38.340 --> 2:25:41.170
<v Speaker 2>going to be this African-American guy that comes up with it.

2:25:42.000 --> 2:25:46.090
<v Speaker 2>And everybody's going to connect on flights and anywhere in

2:25:46.120 --> 2:25:49.209
<v Speaker 2>the world they want to with high-speed internet based on

2:25:49.230 --> 2:25:51.240
<v Speaker 2>these little floating internet satellites.

2:25:51.280 --> 2:25:51.660
<v Speaker 4>And I go.

2:25:52.400 --> 2:25:56.550
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, dude. That's not going to happen. But now

2:25:56.590 --> 2:25:59.690
<v Speaker 2>that's a reality. I think we have quite a few

2:25:59.750 --> 2:26:02.269
<v Speaker 2>years before we get to that. John says, landing on

2:26:02.290 --> 2:26:05.699
<v Speaker 2>the moon was science fiction 100 years ago. True. True.

2:26:05.780 --> 2:26:06.540
<v Speaker 2>Very much was.

2:26:06.640 --> 2:26:10.099
<v Speaker 3>There's no official or exact global census for the total

2:26:10.220 --> 2:26:14.450
<v Speaker 3>digital storage capacity currently in orbit. but it's estimated to

2:26:14.510 --> 2:26:16.510
<v Speaker 3>be in the low petabyte range.

2:26:16.640 --> 2:26:19.879
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think it was going to be that high. Yeah. Yeah.

2:26:20.120 --> 2:26:22.540
<v Speaker 2>A peanuts on TNJ chat takes issue with me using

2:26:22.560 --> 2:26:25.379
<v Speaker 2>the word potentiality. I believe that's a word.

2:26:26.180 --> 2:26:26.300
<v Speaker 11>Yeah.

2:26:26.340 --> 2:26:29.160
<v Speaker 2>I think, I think that's a word. Correct me if

2:26:29.230 --> 2:26:31.650
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong. Potentiality. That means like, you know, you know

2:26:31.670 --> 2:26:35.740
<v Speaker 2>what it means. The potential for something to happen. The potentiality.

2:26:36.050 --> 2:26:37.670
<v Speaker 2>If I made that up, I'll take it back. But

2:26:37.770 --> 2:26:41.590
<v Speaker 2>usually my... I think Google seems to think that it's

2:26:41.610 --> 2:26:42.810
<v Speaker 2>a word. Potentiality.

2:26:42.910 --> 2:26:43.209
<v Speaker 10>Boom.

2:26:43.270 --> 2:26:43.610
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

2:26:43.850 --> 2:26:46.709
<v Speaker 2>The inherent capacity, ability, or power to develop, grow, or

2:26:46.750 --> 2:26:49.250
<v Speaker 2>change into something else. Man, people try to get me

2:26:49.330 --> 2:26:51.800
<v Speaker 2>on words all the time. They'll be like, Sean, you

2:26:51.820 --> 2:26:54.140
<v Speaker 2>made this up. The only place they get me on

2:26:54.200 --> 2:26:56.520
<v Speaker 2>is a couple of choice words that I pronounce in

2:26:56.560 --> 2:26:56.920
<v Speaker 2>ways that.

2:26:58.590 --> 2:27:02.849
<v Speaker 2>Experiment, experiment, experiment. What word did I make up today? Oh,

2:27:02.930 --> 2:27:05.930
<v Speaker 2>I forgot. That was a good one, though. We go

2:27:05.970 --> 2:27:10.230
<v Speaker 2>through my papes. I can't ask TNJAI about that yet.

2:27:10.270 --> 2:27:11.170
<v Speaker 1>Misunderstandments.

2:27:15.730 --> 2:27:19.470
<v Speaker 2>We seek not to have any misunderstandings. Well, it's funny

2:27:19.510 --> 2:27:20.970
<v Speaker 2>because even though it's not a real word, I can

2:27:21.010 --> 2:27:22.470
<v Speaker 2>understand what the word means.

2:27:22.510 --> 2:27:23.030
<v Speaker 1>Exactly.

2:27:23.310 --> 2:27:28.070
<v Speaker 2>There's no misunderstanding about that. That's right. All right, let's see.

2:27:28.110 --> 2:27:31.250
<v Speaker 2>What else do we have here? We'll kick open some emails.

2:27:31.390 --> 2:27:33.750
<v Speaker 2>You can email the show, as always, tips at thenewsjunkie.com,

2:27:33.790 --> 2:27:37.990
<v Speaker 2>T-I-P-S at thenewsjunkie.com. If you want to be anonymous, put

2:27:38.030 --> 2:27:40.510
<v Speaker 2>that on top of your email. And you can email

2:27:40.550 --> 2:27:42.660
<v Speaker 2>no matter when you're listening to the show. Maybe you're

2:27:42.690 --> 2:27:46.279
<v Speaker 2>watching afterwards. Never fear. I collect those emails, and I

2:27:46.379 --> 2:27:48.520
<v Speaker 2>usually start with a couple at the beginning of the show.

2:27:48.540 --> 2:27:50.420
<v Speaker 2>So you might just be on the beginning of the

2:27:50.459 --> 2:27:54.619
<v Speaker 2>show tomorrow. Here is two tickets to pound town with

2:27:54.780 --> 2:27:57.740
<v Speaker 2>a rate my blanket tree. It's rate my life hack

2:27:57.820 --> 2:28:02.320
<v Speaker 2>this week. Sup news junkies. Hey, it's not really a

2:28:02.400 --> 2:28:04.879
<v Speaker 2>life hack. It's kind of a, you know, a little

2:28:04.900 --> 2:28:08.390
<v Speaker 2>bit of a help thing and it's a feel good thing.

2:28:08.440 --> 2:28:11.770
<v Speaker 2>So just trust me. I know with my childish name,

2:28:11.810 --> 2:28:13.850
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to trust, but just trust me. Have a

2:28:13.870 --> 2:28:18.849
<v Speaker 2>little faith. If you ever need plumbing help, call nine

2:28:18.910 --> 2:28:26.220
<v Speaker 2>to nine. Five, five, six, seven, six. It's worth it.

2:28:27.010 --> 2:28:30.370
<v Speaker 2>Just have a little faith. That's all I got. If

2:28:30.390 --> 2:28:32.300
<v Speaker 2>you ever need plumbing help, if this is just a

2:28:32.340 --> 2:28:36.879
<v Speaker 2>plumbing company, what you buy a commercial or something. I mean,

2:28:36.959 --> 2:28:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what he was doing. That's his plumbing. Oh,

2:28:39.580 --> 2:28:42.740
<v Speaker 2>this is his company. I'm guessing, you know, that's not

2:28:42.780 --> 2:28:44.879
<v Speaker 2>the point of rate my blank, sir. And you know it,

2:28:45.180 --> 2:28:47.970
<v Speaker 2>you know, damn well, you know what you're doing, but

2:28:48.650 --> 2:28:51.650
<v Speaker 2>good luck with your business out there. Here's somebody says

2:28:51.770 --> 2:28:54.150
<v Speaker 2>best game of magnets placement. Oh, this is what this

2:28:54.190 --> 2:28:56.110
<v Speaker 2>was a rate by blanketry. Yeah, this is this was

2:28:56.140 --> 2:28:58.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody who didn't put them on a location. But well,

2:28:58.190 --> 2:28:59.699
<v Speaker 2>I put them on a location in their body, but

2:29:00.540 --> 2:29:02.959
<v Speaker 2>they didn't necessarily put them on. We're talking about taking

2:29:02.980 --> 2:29:06.240
<v Speaker 2>the magnets from the news junkie show for game of magnets,

2:29:06.300 --> 2:29:08.460
<v Speaker 2>which is what we call it. And if you see

2:29:08.500 --> 2:29:11.280
<v Speaker 2>a news junkie magnet out in the wild, it's wide open.

2:29:11.680 --> 2:29:13.580
<v Speaker 2>Grab it. People hop out of stoplights. They do a

2:29:13.600 --> 2:29:16.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of dangerous things. But it's a fun game that's

2:29:16.560 --> 2:29:19.830
<v Speaker 2>gone on for a very long time. And what I

2:29:19.990 --> 2:29:23.110
<v Speaker 2>think you could do to kick this up a bit

2:29:23.290 --> 2:29:25.670
<v Speaker 2>is to take these magnets. You've already been doing this

2:29:25.709 --> 2:29:28.250
<v Speaker 2>over the years to different locations. But when you do,

2:29:28.790 --> 2:29:31.310
<v Speaker 2>give me a heads up on it. Send a photo dispatch.

2:29:31.410 --> 2:29:33.400
<v Speaker 2>And maybe we'll make a section of the website where

2:29:33.440 --> 2:29:38.100
<v Speaker 2>we start chronicling those because I really like that. Magnets

2:29:38.140 --> 2:29:38.880
<v Speaker 2>around the world.

2:29:39.160 --> 2:29:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Magnets.

2:29:39.740 --> 2:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we need a better name. I'm not sure what.

2:29:42.700 --> 2:29:45.440
<v Speaker 2>We don't do that many predictions, and there's a prediction

2:29:46.180 --> 2:29:50.680
<v Speaker 2>module on the homepage of thenewsjunkie.com right here. So I

2:29:50.730 --> 2:29:53.010
<v Speaker 2>think this could be like magnets around the world when

2:29:53.030 --> 2:29:56.180
<v Speaker 2>we don't have an active prediction. And maybe show like

2:29:56.220 --> 2:29:58.660
<v Speaker 2>somebody with a magnet at the Eiffel Tower, a magnet

2:29:58.700 --> 2:30:01.520
<v Speaker 2>in this country, in that country, a magnet outside of

2:30:01.640 --> 2:30:04.119
<v Speaker 2>a brothel. I don't know. There's lots of different places

2:30:04.140 --> 2:30:06.019
<v Speaker 2>that you could do this with a news junkie magnet.

2:30:06.580 --> 2:30:09.040
<v Speaker 2>If you don't have one, subscribe and claim yours. The

2:30:09.080 --> 2:30:12.260
<v Speaker 2>Junko Lantern. Don't show this, but let me check supplies here.

2:30:12.300 --> 2:30:14.959
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep this away from the people. But if I

2:30:15.000 --> 2:30:20.230
<v Speaker 2>go to promotional items, there are 89 of the Junko

2:30:20.270 --> 2:30:22.970
<v Speaker 2>Lantern magnets left. All right. There's 89 of those left.

2:30:24.000 --> 2:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>So if you subscribe to a premium account, which gets

2:30:26.260 --> 2:30:29.820
<v Speaker 2>you access to that ad-free stream, where you just stream

2:30:29.840 --> 2:30:33.280
<v Speaker 2>like a dream over on thenewsjunkie.com. If you're a subscriber

2:30:33.300 --> 2:30:34.980
<v Speaker 2>and you're logged in, you get the access to the

2:30:35.060 --> 2:30:39.170
<v Speaker 2>ad-free stream. And then there's no commercials or anything for you. Otherwise,

2:30:39.200 --> 2:30:41.810
<v Speaker 2>go to YouTube or a fine station that's running this.

2:30:42.430 --> 2:30:45.789
<v Speaker 2>Let's see. Anything else that we have not worked in?

2:30:47.390 --> 2:30:49.750
<v Speaker 2>Here's another rate my blank entry. Go ahead.

2:30:49.810 --> 2:30:54.400
<v Speaker 12>Speaking of warehouse memberships. I've had a BJ's membership for

2:30:54.420 --> 2:30:56.880
<v Speaker 12>the last four or five years, and after the first

2:30:56.980 --> 2:31:00.220
<v Speaker 12>year or two, I never paid more than $ 25 for it.

2:31:00.310 --> 2:31:03.750
<v Speaker 12>Here's the hack. Turn off the auto-renew feature.

2:31:04.190 --> 2:31:06.240
<v Speaker 10>When it comes time to renew, don't renew it.

2:31:06.790 --> 2:31:09.470
<v Speaker 12>Wait about 60 days or so, and they will send

2:31:09.530 --> 2:31:12.710
<v Speaker 12>you an email to have you sign up for $ 25.

2:31:12.450 --> 2:31:14.710
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but then you miss 60 days.

2:31:14.730 --> 2:31:19.010
<v Speaker 12>I haven't paid more than $ 25.

2:31:17.390 --> 2:31:18.910
<v Speaker 2>All right. Sure, that's one thing to do. But if

2:31:18.950 --> 2:31:22.490
<v Speaker 2>you really like BJ's, you're missing out on BJ's for

2:31:22.490 --> 2:31:27.029
<v Speaker 2>60 days. Nobody wants 60 days without going to BJ's.

2:31:27.050 --> 2:31:29.400
<v Speaker 2>You're missing out on all kinds of great deals and

2:31:29.480 --> 2:31:33.160
<v Speaker 2>food and all the good stuff. It just so happens

2:31:33.180 --> 2:31:35.100
<v Speaker 2>that they've started a campaign, folks. I don't know how

2:31:35.140 --> 2:31:39.360
<v Speaker 2>that ended up being today, but heads up, right? That's

2:31:39.379 --> 2:31:42.770
<v Speaker 2>the thing that's going on. And, oh, shoot, we've got

2:31:42.810 --> 2:31:44.529
<v Speaker 2>to take a quick break. When we come back, we'll

2:31:44.560 --> 2:31:47.820
<v Speaker 2>do the final dispatches, stories that didn't make the cut.

2:31:48.360 --> 2:31:50.900
<v Speaker 2>And today I learned to wrap everything up for a Monday.

2:31:51.140 --> 2:31:58.920
<v Speaker 2>That's coming up next on the News Junkie. Final dispatches,

2:31:59.620 --> 2:32:02.900
<v Speaker 2>stories that didn't make the cut. And today I learned

2:32:03.100 --> 2:32:06.240
<v Speaker 2>to wrap everything up for a Monday. And that show

2:32:06.360 --> 2:32:07.940
<v Speaker 2>flew by. What the hell?

2:32:08.140 --> 2:32:08.459
<v Speaker 1>Uh-huh.

2:32:08.860 --> 2:32:11.500
<v Speaker 2>Just like that. You know, we're here at the end.

2:32:11.520 --> 2:32:14.590
<v Speaker 2>We're at the finish line. It's been a blast hanging

2:32:14.610 --> 2:32:16.950
<v Speaker 2>out with you today. Don't worry. We'll be back tomorrow

2:32:16.970 --> 2:32:19.990
<v Speaker 2>to do it all over again, as per usual. So

2:32:20.110 --> 2:32:22.350
<v Speaker 2>come see us for that. Let's see what we have

2:32:22.410 --> 2:32:25.750
<v Speaker 2>to work in here as we wrap it up. We

2:32:25.790 --> 2:32:27.770
<v Speaker 2>did quite a few dispatches today, so any of the

2:32:27.790 --> 2:32:29.870
<v Speaker 2>other ones that come in, we'll play them in a

2:32:29.910 --> 2:32:33.890
<v Speaker 2>bit here. We'll do some stories that didn't make the cut,

2:32:34.250 --> 2:32:39.650
<v Speaker 2>like this one. An announcement. After six decades on stage,

2:32:39.730 --> 2:32:45.580
<v Speaker 2>this person has decided to retire for good. Who is it?

2:32:45.640 --> 2:32:48.920
<v Speaker 2>You probably already saw this, I'm guessing, for the hot sheet. Oh,

2:32:49.140 --> 2:32:51.699
<v Speaker 2>I think I did see something. Now I can't remember.

2:32:52.760 --> 2:32:57.110
<v Speaker 2>Rod Stewart. Oh, no, I didn't see this one. He

2:32:57.150 --> 2:32:59.789
<v Speaker 2>was looking rough on stage for a little while. He

2:32:59.850 --> 2:33:02.400
<v Speaker 2>was looking a bit rough. Sir Rod Stewart, in fact,

2:33:02.430 --> 2:33:04.480
<v Speaker 2>has announced he's retiring from the road after more than

2:33:04.480 --> 2:33:10.380
<v Speaker 2>60 years on stage for one tour called The Final Encore.

2:33:11.430 --> 2:33:14.540
<v Speaker 2>You can see all the dates over on his website.

2:33:15.120 --> 2:33:18.779
<v Speaker 2>He's sold more than 250 million records worldwide.

2:33:18.920 --> 2:33:21.539
<v Speaker 3>You remember the episode of South Park where they were

2:33:21.560 --> 2:33:24.230
<v Speaker 3>going to have this big millennium celebration and they hired

2:33:24.290 --> 2:33:26.350
<v Speaker 3>Rod Stewart and he showed up looking like.

2:33:27.060 --> 2:33:28.020
<v Speaker 2>Old and decrepit.

2:33:28.040 --> 2:33:30.980
<v Speaker 3>And he kept saying he pooped his pants.

2:33:31.400 --> 2:33:31.720
<v Speaker 14>Yeah.

2:33:32.400 --> 2:33:33.340
<v Speaker 2>That's real life now?

2:33:33.580 --> 2:33:36.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, that episode came out in 1999, and Rod Stewart

2:33:36.800 --> 2:33:38.060
<v Speaker 3>was 54 at the time.

2:33:38.520 --> 2:33:42.820
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my God. Yeah. Like, now here we are. 27

2:33:42.820 --> 2:33:45.720
<v Speaker 2>years ago. That's just crazy. But will you go to

2:33:45.760 --> 2:33:51.810
<v Speaker 2>his final tour? Let us know. Tipsofthenewsjunkie.com. Big, fat, juicy thanks.

<v Speaker 2>for the support. We love you. We appreciate you.

2:34:18.800 --> 2:34:20.860
<v Speaker 3>Is pork fat rules an Emeril reference?

2:34:21.730 --> 2:34:25.270
<v Speaker 2>As if so, not bad. He did like some pork fat,

2:34:25.570 --> 2:34:28.500
<v Speaker 2>and he wasn't wrong about that making things just a

2:34:28.520 --> 2:34:31.220
<v Speaker 2>little bit better. No doubt about that. All right, any

2:34:31.379 --> 2:34:33.360
<v Speaker 2>other stories that we need to work in? Let me

2:34:33.379 --> 2:34:36.940
<v Speaker 2>just check. There was that Nor'easter really did slap everybody. Dude,

<v Speaker 2>because somebody sent it over. Everybody is now taking to

2:35:26.640 --> 2:35:29.660
<v Speaker 2>a new trend where they get burgers and they put

2:35:29.830 --> 2:35:30.650
<v Speaker 2>cookies on them.

2:35:30.750 --> 2:35:31.150
<v Speaker 1>Why?

2:35:31.250 --> 2:35:33.490
<v Speaker 2>Are we not fat enough? Chocolate chip cookie.

2:35:33.510 --> 2:35:34.369
<v Speaker 7>Chocolate chip cookie.

2:35:34.410 --> 2:35:39.610
<v Speaker 2>A chocolate chip cookie. On a McDonald's cheeseburger? Cookie cheeseburger?

2:35:40.170 --> 2:35:42.150
<v Speaker 2>There's not enough calories in a cookie or not enough

2:35:42.170 --> 2:35:44.380
<v Speaker 2>calories in a cheeseburger? You got to have all of

2:35:44.420 --> 2:35:47.250
<v Speaker 2>these things together? I tell you, I can literally feel

2:35:47.270 --> 2:35:49.840
<v Speaker 2>my toes curl up right now about to fall off. Man,

2:35:49.860 --> 2:35:50.340
<v Speaker 2>that's good.

2:35:50.700 --> 2:35:51.879
<v Speaker 7>It's honestly not that bad.

2:35:51.959 --> 2:35:55.420
<v Speaker 2>I know this is crazy, but it is good. Why

2:35:55.459 --> 2:35:57.640
<v Speaker 2>is that crazy? Why do people say stuff like this?

2:35:58.440 --> 2:35:59.790
<v Speaker 2>I know this is crazy.

2:36:00.030 --> 2:36:02.110
<v Speaker 3>It does seem a little wild to put a chocolate

2:36:02.129 --> 2:36:03.410
<v Speaker 3>chip cookie on a cheeseburger.

2:36:03.570 --> 2:36:06.230
<v Speaker 2>You know what's crazy? If you go into your cat's

2:36:06.330 --> 2:36:08.450
<v Speaker 2>litter box and put that on a burger and then

2:36:08.490 --> 2:36:10.240
<v Speaker 2>you tried it and it was good, you'd be like,

2:36:10.430 --> 2:36:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I know this sounds crazy. But the cat turd burger

2:36:13.879 --> 2:36:18.200
<v Speaker 2>is amazing. That's crazy. Saying that putting a cookie on

2:36:18.260 --> 2:36:20.520
<v Speaker 2>a cheeseburger is good. It's like, yeah, well, cheeseburgers are

2:36:20.560 --> 2:36:22.400
<v Speaker 2>good and cookies are good. And you put them together.

2:36:22.760 --> 2:36:24.519
<v Speaker 2>You didn't need to do that. But, of course, it

2:36:24.560 --> 2:36:29.210
<v Speaker 2>tasted good. My God. Okay. We're going to just finish

2:36:29.230 --> 2:36:30.610
<v Speaker 2>the show. We're going to get the hell out of here.

2:36:30.690 --> 2:36:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I can't do it anymore. I can't deal with this.

2:36:32.379 --> 2:36:34.660
<v Speaker 3>How did that piss you off so bad? We're at

2:36:34.800 --> 2:36:36.620
<v Speaker 3>the finish line, man.

2:36:37.000 --> 2:36:39.340
<v Speaker 2>I know. That's my fault. That's my bad. Let's get
