Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Pretty good? Pretty good? How are you saying?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 1: Feeling good? Doing good? Got a lot to talk about today.
Speaker 1: I was up tinkering a little bit after the show
Speaker 1: because yes, it was like, I don't have a video
Speaker 1: of the day for the YouTube channel, I don't have
Speaker 1: a short I want to work on. So I utilize
Speaker 1: my time into like seven or eight o'clock at night,
Speaker 1: and I go, I'm going to tinker on the one
Speaker 1: thing that people have been making fun of me for
Speaker 1: on this show, and that is, I introduced the text
Speaker 1: to speech voices and people were saying that they sounded terrible,
Speaker 1: and they the Mafia guy didn't sound like the Mafia guy.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's so hilarious that when you said
Speaker 1: the one thing people have been making fun of me,
Speaker 1: I go, well, surely there's more than one thing. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean there's many things, but this was the one
Speaker 1: that was.
Speaker 5: But so that I thought in my head about what
Speaker 5: it was going to be. You know, I was like,
Speaker 5: how do you tinker with the size of your hands?
Speaker 5: And then that was not that at all. I don't
Speaker 5: need to do that. My hands are so big that
Speaker 5: I don't need that. But here's what I did.
Speaker 1: When you go to the news Junkie dot Com is
Speaker 1: only available for people who are subscribers. But if you
Speaker 1: go to the news Junkie slash Dispatch the news Junki
Speaker 1: dot Com slash dispatch, when you click tts, you can
Speaker 1: select different voices. Now, the voices were sounded funky, and
Speaker 1: the mafia guy thing wasn't sound like the Mafia guy.
Speaker 1: The radio DJ, oh, you're gonna know exactly what I
Speaker 1: was going for this time. The next time somebody uses
Speaker 1: the radio DJ The New York Mobster is much more mobstery.
Speaker 1: And now you put your script in and you can
Speaker 1: drag in sound effects along with it, so you can
Speaker 1: create a script. That's what I wanted people to be
Speaker 1: able to be creative with. So I tested it out
Speaker 1: with one of the brand new voices, Sea Lane, and
Speaker 1: let's just see how it goes here. I need to
Speaker 1: see if the dead air issue is fixed. Oh damn,
Speaker 1: the cops are coming. I'm gonna have to fight my
Speaker 1: way out of this thing. Oh hell's yeah, I did it.
Speaker 1: I killed all of the bad cops and saved the
Speaker 1: good cup. So I have g in trouble. What an
Speaker 1: amazing day. Yeah, I'm a voice on there. Now. You
Speaker 1: could use the Sean voice and I should have probably
Speaker 1: asked you about this, Sealane, but you can also use
Speaker 1: the Sea Lang voice. I I didn't necessarily clear this
Speaker 1: with Sea Lane, but there's also a Sea Lane voice.
Speaker 1: Have you tried it out yet? I have only one
Speaker 1: test in the system for it. I think, uh, do
Speaker 1: you want to hear it?
Speaker 5: I mean I would like, yes, sure? What what are
Speaker 5: we working with here?
Speaker 1: This is just really basic, just a basic, basic demo. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's like you know not other people can see this
Speaker 1: on the side.
Speaker 5: Production Sea Lane smoke on News Junkie. I looked outside
Speaker 5: and heard this approaching sound good. Then everybody started running
Speaker 5: down the street.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I think it. I think it works.
Speaker 1: I think it works. I think it's going to be great.
Speaker 1: I want to allow you, the listener, to be creative.
Speaker 1: So those are available if you go to the news
Speaker 1: junkie dot com slash dispatch test them out. There's a
Speaker 1: new new version of this that I want you to
Speaker 1: see over on the news junky dot com slash dispatch,
Speaker 1: and we'll work some of those into the show today.
Speaker 1: Let's start out as we always do. Let's put our
Speaker 1: ears at the ground, our fingers on the pulse, let's
Speaker 1: see what's happening in this great, big, wide world of ours.
Speaker 1: And we go to oh man, I forgot what the
Speaker 1: original was? Where was this celand?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 1: Or do I need to look up the uh? Let
Speaker 1: me see if I can find the tweet for you.
Speaker 1: I can probably go back to the one that I
Speaker 1: sent you there right yeah, here it is right here. Okay,
Speaker 1: the original one that I cannot play because the man
Speaker 1: curses a bit. It says, the Minasha tornado. So this
Speaker 1: was and I believe Illinois me e n A s
Speaker 1: h is that Wisconsin or Illinois Wisconsin? Okay a Minosha,
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is where this happened. This is such a great clip.
Speaker 1: This guy filmed himself. Here's why he's going viral. Let's
Speaker 1: listen in yes now, just to bring you there, folks.
Speaker 1: This man is literally like a tornado's ripping through his
Speaker 1: neighborhood right now. He is in the middle of the
Speaker 1: tornado in his neighborhood right now. Man, I don't know
Speaker 1: why he's outside assuming this.
Speaker 5: He is all of the advice that they've given us
Speaker 5: for years about what to do during certain weather events.
Speaker 5: You know, get in a room with no windows, preferably
Speaker 5: an interior room downstairs, and you'll have now that camera
Speaker 5: phones exist and space bucks and internet yeahs, and viral videos.
Speaker 5: You got people upstairs on their balcony, you know, next
Speaker 5: to all the windows, like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the tornado is coming through. This guy's like right
Speaker 1: in the lightning, like Lieutenant Dan up on the mast
Speaker 1: of the ship. Signs are flying around, the trees are
Speaker 1: coming down. He literally just said, whoa, there goes my roof.
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, could you be any more calm? I'll
Speaker 1: bring it back, could you be any more? The roof
Speaker 1: of his house flies off and he's like, whoa, there.
Speaker 7: U.
Speaker 2: Rap my telephone pole?
Speaker 1: Even better. I'm pretty sure he said f my telephone pole.
Speaker 2: Did he?
Speaker 1: But it wasn't like, oh, f my telephone pole. It
Speaker 1: sounded more like a verb, like F my telephone pole.
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy somebody says he's so happy and
Speaker 1: he's just going viral. That is efing awesome. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's riding the lightning, for sure. But he should go
Speaker 1: inside just so you guys know that there's an entire
Speaker 1: power pole snapping in half in his front yard. There's
Speaker 1: it looks like Twister. It looks like the movie Twist.
Speaker 1: Free brand crap. Just go inside.
Speaker 5: This guy's commentary aside, that is a crazy view of
Speaker 5: a telephone pole coming down, un ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this because it's it is a visual obviously,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this up on see it now so
Speaker 1: you guys can see what's happening in this. It's just
Speaker 1: an unbelievable video that I want you to get to
Speaker 1: at some point in time today. I'm getting a snapshot
Speaker 1: of it during the break. I'll put that up on
Speaker 1: see it now so everybody can take a look over
Speaker 1: on the website. Is that what it was? You have?
Speaker 5: Three other service confirms e F three tornado as Fox
Speaker 5: Valley begins storm cleanup over at Minasha, Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: I'm just a dummy. Let me actually bring in our
Speaker 1: friend Tnjai for this, just to get the right information.
Speaker 1: So e F three tornado is what that one was?
Speaker 1: What is e F one, two, three, four, and five?
Speaker 1: Is about how why the tornado is? Is it about
Speaker 1: how strong the tornado is with speed? What is the deal?
Speaker 3: The EF scale, which stands for Enhanced Fujita Scale, measures
Speaker 3: the strength of a tornado based on the damage it causes.
Speaker 3: It goes from e F zero the weakest to e
Speaker 3: F five the strongest damage. So it's really about the
Speaker 3: intensity and destructive power, not just the width of the tornado.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so about the actual destructive power, which
Speaker 1: I think when you have you know, yeah, those are
Speaker 1: gonna go hand in hand. I think, right, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna work out that way. Okay, we
Speaker 1: have so many moments to get into. I've already got
Speaker 1: tts is coming in from you guys. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I should feel good about this or bad about
Speaker 1: this or so that whatever.
Speaker 5: That tornado is an e F three that's one hundred
Speaker 5: and thirty six to one hundred and sixty five miles
Speaker 5: an hour. That's severe damage. The EF five is over
Speaker 5: two hundred miles an hour. Oh wow, incredible damage. I
Speaker 5: mean that it snapped that power pole like it was nothing.
Speaker 1: You goo folks really got to take a look at
Speaker 1: the video over on the news junkie dot com or
Speaker 1: in the app and to see it now. Section Jazzy
Speaker 1: Josh sends in a Sea Lane, tts are we going
Speaker 1: to here's the bet I want to see you guys
Speaker 1: place today. Is Sea Lane going to say, withdraw my
Speaker 1: name from the text to speech function before the end
Speaker 1: of the show. This is not the challenge I would
Speaker 1: like for this because I said, I said, don't worry,
Speaker 1: Sea Lane. I said, don't worry. They come in and it.
Speaker 1: They don't appear on the website automatically. They do right now,
Speaker 1: but I'll change that after the show. The cod Aina
Speaker 1: will change. You are a lion Coderino. People will be
Speaker 1: nice with it. Oh, I have an announcement. I Christopher, Dolores,
Speaker 1: Lane and Mahomas Actual please clap all right, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: really jazzy if you Josh beast paced. Yeah, they're starting
Speaker 1: to utilize these in good ways and bads, but mostly bad,
Speaker 1: mostly bad ways. But we'll see if Celane lasts through
Speaker 1: the show. Because when I started.
Speaker 5: Bating, now you're just encouraging them to make my voice
Speaker 5: say the worst things.
Speaker 1: No, they're gonna do way worse with my voice, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. And I'm fine with it, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm okay with it. This is only for subscribers
Speaker 1: anyhow over in the news Junkie dot Com, and we'll yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll get to a few more of those as we
Speaker 1: work along in the show. I wanted to clarify something
Speaker 1: we talked about this yesterday, and the best handle this,
Speaker 1: we'll probably gonna want to take a break. That's what
Speaker 1: we'll do with take a quick break, and when we
Speaker 1: come back on the show, busted lying like never before,
Speaker 1: like completely caught in four K you, I'll explain and
Speaker 1: I feel wronged. I feel pissed off. Honestly, I feel
Speaker 1: pissed off about this, but we'll discuss what happened because
Speaker 1: that is coming up next in the news Junkie. I
Speaker 1: feel lied to. I'm angered by it. Honestly, I'm seriously
Speaker 1: angered by what what has happened here. And I don't
Speaker 1: know how to handle this other than to just sort
Speaker 1: of jump right into things here, se Lane, because I
Speaker 1: feel like you were lied to as well. Like that.
Speaker 1: We had a we had a video that we covered
Speaker 1: this week which was Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback,
Speaker 1: and he was getting pulled over for a DUI that
Speaker 1: happened about a week ago or so, and the bodycam
Speaker 1: footage showed him and I said, you know what, he
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he's really drunk, and it seems like
Speaker 1: he might have like a really good case on his
Speaker 1: hands here because he didn't take the breathalyzer. He's not
Speaker 1: slurring his words, he's not falling over. He seems to
Speaker 1: be getting the job done. When it comes to all
Speaker 1: of the roadside test, what the hell I think this
Speaker 1: guy's got a good shot to get in this overturn.
Speaker 1: We have been lied to and it's unbelievable that this happened.
Speaker 1: Now he's being memed like crazy. There's memes galore that
Speaker 1: are happening out of this Tony Romo bodycam footage.
Speaker 8: Here's okay, any head injuries, any head injuries recently?
Speaker 4: Any cancutious?
Speaker 1: Hello, darkness, smile, start showing all the footage from Cowboys
Speaker 1: games when Tony Romo is just getting drilled. He's knocked out,
Speaker 1: staring up at the sky and they're meming him. They're
Speaker 1: meming him like crazy. Right, they've taken the bodycam footage.
Speaker 1: He's not yet been fired or anything, but he has
Speaker 1: lied and and I'm changing my mind on this a
Speaker 1: little bit after some updates on this case. Here's another
Speaker 1: one of the memes.
Speaker 9: Any had injuries recently?
Speaker 1: Any precuscious over the years, Yes, but not recently.
Speaker 10: Please down with your feet together, in your hands, down
Speaker 10: at your side.
Speaker 9: What do you prefer?
Speaker 1: I don't even know what song? This is some talking
Speaker 1: about hating being sober, and they got Tony Romo go
Speaker 1: into this one, so they memed ab out of control.
Speaker 1: I kind of defended the guy. I put myself out there.
Speaker 1: I said, which part was the lie? I'm I can't
Speaker 1: figure it out yet. Let me let me get there,
Speaker 1: let me get there. The first thing is this, here's
Speaker 1: why one. Okay, let me bring this story up in
Speaker 1: front of me.
Speaker 5: So I really thought I was worried that the lie
Speaker 5: was going to be that the d uila in Wisconsin
Speaker 5: or wherever they were are not in fact as crazy
Speaker 5: easy on you as that TikToker would suggest.
Speaker 1: No, that that seems to be true. Yeah, that that
Speaker 1: seems to be actually act like there's no way. That's
Speaker 1: because Moses sent that to you personally, he would know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not the problem. That wasn't the issue. But let
Speaker 1: me see if I can bring this up. ABC News
Speaker 1: has like only the wrong video. Now, okay, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna have to tell you about it instead of bringing
Speaker 1: it up, because every single story is ah, finally, finally,
Speaker 1: now I find it. Former Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo.
Speaker 1: This is from Good Morning America. Their links on the
Speaker 1: internet works so brilliantly that if you save a link
Speaker 1: and then reload it, it will break every time. It's genius.
Speaker 1: It's like really really good development, really good Codino skills
Speaker 1: on behalf of a news website. But ABC News says
Speaker 1: former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo received a citation for
Speaker 1: possessing an open container in a moving vehicle in connection
Speaker 1: with his arrest in Wisconsin last week. Tony Romo was
Speaker 1: arrested near the interchange in downtown Milwaukee on suspicion of
Speaker 1: operating while under the influence. They then released the body
Speaker 1: cam footage that we talked about. He was issued three
Speaker 1: citations in connection with the incident. One was operating while
Speaker 1: under the influence, unsafe passing, and then possession of an
Speaker 1: open container in a moving vehicle, which was released late
Speaker 1: yesterday after an open record request from ABC News. According
Speaker 1: to the open container citation, a deputy said they observed
Speaker 1: a quote open bottle of an alcoholic beverage on the
Speaker 1: passenger side of the vehicle. So he had an open
Speaker 1: bottle of a beverage, an alcoholic beverage.
Speaker 5: He had an open bottle of an alcoholic beverage. It
Speaker 5: was on the passenger side of the vehicle. Shown he
Speaker 5: was alone in the car. He said he had had
Speaker 5: anything to drink. That seems like a lie to me,
Speaker 5: Tony Romo, I feel like I've been lying. But that's
Speaker 5: not the worst part. That is not the worst part.
Speaker 5: When they asked what he was doing, what did Tony
Speaker 5: Romo say, he said he was going to Oh no,
Speaker 5: he said he was going to grandma and Grandpa's house.
Speaker 1: Tony Romo said, I'm going to grandma and Grandpa's house.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing. That's what I'm in town for.
Speaker 1: He said, I'm in town for Grandma and Grandpa. I'm
Speaker 1: going to grandma and Grandpa's house. His grandparents are dead. Oh,
Speaker 1: Tony to dad, all right, this guy he gave the
Speaker 1: excuse and I believed him, hook line and sinker. I
Speaker 1: watching him, I.
Speaker 5: You, you were so on his side. You're like, he's
Speaker 5: being so great with the cops. Yeah, very likable. He's
Speaker 5: gonna get through this. He's not anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't agree with it, I said.
Speaker 5: I think he is going to get through it on
Speaker 5: account of it's just a civil not criminal charge for him.
Speaker 5: It's just a fine he has to pay for the
Speaker 5: OWI right.
Speaker 1: But watching the first time, I was like, Okay, he's
Speaker 1: being decent to the police officers. He is not slurring
Speaker 1: his words like somebody who has had too much to drink.
Speaker 1: He has an understanding of what the officer is saying
Speaker 1: to them. In fact, he's even he's doing something, which
Speaker 1: is important in communication. If somebody says something to you
Speaker 1: and you're not sure if they know that you understand it,
Speaker 1: you repeat it back to that person, and when you
Speaker 1: repeat it back to them, it acknowledges to them that
Speaker 1: you've heard what they were doing. That's a level of
Speaker 1: cognitive behavior that shows like, maybe you're not that hammered
Speaker 1: in the moment. And so I'm watching him going, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's going to his grandparents house. He hasn't had anything
Speaker 1: to drink, he doesn't sound like he's slurring. Tony Romo
Speaker 1: is he's gonna win this case? But he was lying.
Speaker 1: He had an open container next to him. He's the
Speaker 1: only one in the car, and he said he was
Speaker 1: going to his grandparents' house. And Tony Romo's grandparents are dead.
Speaker 1: He lied about that, and I cannot believe it. I
Speaker 1: feel so so lied to, so wronged. Let me see,
Speaker 1: his grandparents died. When do they die there? They haven't
Speaker 1: been for a while.
Speaker 5: Did he say I'm going to my grandma and grandpa's
Speaker 5: house or did he just say I'm going to grandma
Speaker 5: and Grandpa's house. That's a good question, because the footage
Speaker 5: shift Tony got it. If Tony has kids, you know,
Speaker 5: he could be talking like you talked to his kids,
Speaker 5: like all right, guys, let's go.
Speaker 1: We're going to grandma and Grandpa's house. Uh, let's see
Speaker 1: before I'm.
Speaker 5: Walking, honey, Sheriff's office.
Speaker 1: I was, how you.
Speaker 11: All right?
Speaker 1: Mean it? For my stopde?
Speaker 9: Reason for my stop today is the unsafe passing on
Speaker 9: the right?
Speaker 8: Okay, on safe passing on the right, cutting across the
Speaker 8: dore obviously up there, Yes, it's the mark area.
Speaker 5: Until yesterday, I had never heard of that being called
Speaker 5: a gore.
Speaker 1: Me either, I hadn't heard of that either. But she said,
Speaker 1: where are you? Where are you coming from?
Speaker 11: Dallas?
Speaker 12: Grandpa?
Speaker 1: I got so. He said, I came here to visit
Speaker 1: my grandma and grandpa. He said, my liar, he said.
Speaker 1: It's hard to hear if he said my or not,
Speaker 1: but it seemed to me that he was trying to
Speaker 1: put out there that he was in town to go
Speaker 1: see his grandma and grandpa. And according to the news
Speaker 1: stories I saw today, this son of a bitch lied
Speaker 1: to me that grandma and grandpa are dead and they've
Speaker 1: been dead for a very long time. Apparently, let's see
Speaker 1: told deputy was on his way to visit his grandparents.
Speaker 1: Let me just bring this up here. This is from
Speaker 1: Yahoo Sports and it says he was cooperating with cops. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's true. Rest video. Why was he arrested? Okay? Who
Speaker 1: are Tony Romo's grandparents? Yahoo Sports says Romo told police
Speaker 1: he was heading to see quote his grandma and grandpa
Speaker 1: before being arrested. Romo grew up in the Milwaukee metro
Speaker 1: area and was arrested in Milwaukee, So that makes sense geographically,
Speaker 1: a forty six year old man can have a living grandparents.
Speaker 1: But if it sounds unusual that a forty six year
Speaker 1: old man was heading to see both grandma and grandpa,
Speaker 1: that's because it is. Obituaries for Ramiro Romo, Senior and
Speaker 1: Felicita Felicita Romo of the Racine, Wisconsin indicate both of
Speaker 1: his paternal grandparents are deceased, while at twenty seventeen obituary
Speaker 1: for Helen Jakubuski, Jakubowski indicates jack she was Romo's maternal grandmother,
Speaker 1: and it states that her husband died in nineteen eighty three,
Speaker 1: So his wife's grandparents, his wife's parents are dead, His
Speaker 1: mother's parents, his mother's parents. His mother's parents are dead.
Speaker 1: His father's parents are dead. Correct, All the grandparents are dead.
Speaker 1: They're all rip rip, Grandma and Grandpa. You're dead now,
Speaker 1: they're all dead.
Speaker 5: Doesn't mean that he wasn't going to see their house
Speaker 5: just to be sentimental.
Speaker 1: I think he was lying. I think he was lying,
Speaker 1: and he was caught in four K and the world
Speaker 1: could see it now, And I just wanted to say,
Speaker 1: I retract my statements officially on what I said on
Speaker 1: the show yesterday. I no longer think that Tony Romo
Speaker 1: has an open and shutcase against the police in this
Speaker 1: particular instance. I no longer think that he should definitely
Speaker 1: keep his TV gig, although I still kind of think that.
Speaker 1: I think, but he's definitely lying here. One hundred oh.
Speaker 1: Aj Soup with a twist on this. He could still
Speaker 1: be going to see his grandparents if they're visiting the cemetery.
Speaker 1: He never said house. Did he say house one more time?
Speaker 1: We have to go back to that, all right. One.
Speaker 5: That's well, Aj Soup is kind of saying what I said,
Speaker 5: like he could still be going to their house, you know,
Speaker 5: like maybe different people live there. He still calls it
Speaker 5: grandma on grandpa's house. Uh, maybe he owned his grandma
Speaker 5: and grandpa's house. Now he is Tony Romo and he's
Speaker 5: got money.
Speaker 1: But or he could be visiting their their grave site.
Speaker 1: All of the stories say house. All of the stories
Speaker 1: say like he said he was going to his grandma
Speaker 1: and grandpa's house. I'll go back to it one last time. Here.
Speaker 1: Let's see right around here. Yeah, I know, we gotta
Speaker 1: basically yell as shot. All right, visit grandma and grandpa.
Speaker 5: Where are you coming from? Wing to visit grandma and grandpa.
Speaker 1: I'm going to meet them, he said, going to meet them,
Speaker 1: all right? Going. You don't say you're going to meet them.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say going to Vermont and I'm going to
Speaker 1: meet my mom and dad. If I'm going to the cemetery,
Speaker 1: you would not say that, you wouldn't. He was lying, busted,
Speaker 1: lying in four k. In my opinion, let me know
Speaker 1: what you think. I think this changes the game a
Speaker 1: little bit for him because his grandparents were not with him,
Speaker 1: and he was lying about that to the police officer.
Speaker 1: But let us know what you think. Send a dispatch
Speaker 1: over at the Newsjunkie dot com. Okay, quick, break. When
Speaker 1: we come back, I'll find out why I broke a
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. Here's what I believe happened. I believe
Speaker 1: that the text to speech feature is incredibly popular right
Speaker 1: now and crashed one hundred other things as a result.
Speaker 1: I cannot fix that during the show necessarily, but we
Speaker 1: have more of these coming in. A lot of the
Speaker 1: TTS dispatches that are coming in. More people seem to
Speaker 1: be choosing you as their voice because you've challenged them.
Speaker 5: Toe to get me into a position where I want
Speaker 5: to cancel my participation.
Speaker 1: I know. I don't want that to happen. I want
Speaker 1: people to be able to use our voices because it's funny.
Speaker 5: It's basically I was voluntold that my voice would be
Speaker 5: an option.
Speaker 1: I forgot to clear it with you. I will abide
Speaker 1: by your wishes. If you want me to take it off,
Speaker 1: the Sea Lane voice off, the textas speech feature, I
Speaker 1: will take that off. But I think it's fun and
Speaker 1: I think people should use somebody use the radio announcer too,
Speaker 1: so people could see what that's really supposed to sound like.
Speaker 1: In the Mafia update too, because they're good. They're good. Now.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to change some minds. But we'll see,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll get into that if it doesn't crash
Speaker 1: everything as we roll on. Also, an update on something
Speaker 1: that is going to be banned very very soon. A
Speaker 1: seventy four year old woman absolutely melting down, a mother
Speaker 1: going viral, and all of that is coming up next
Speaker 1: in the news. Junkie, this is an amazing clip I'm
Speaker 1: about to play for you, and it's fired some pe
Speaker 1: up and I'm amazed. Actually, the thing that amazes me
Speaker 1: the most, sea Land is how many people are taking
Speaker 1: this woman's side. I think this woman, the one that
Speaker 1: you were just testing out, Yeah, yeah, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this this mother. People are taking her side. I think
Speaker 1: she's crazy. I think she's crazy. But I may for
Speaker 1: once be like in a minority position here when usually
Speaker 1: I'm telling you people are. The reaction has been, Oh,
Speaker 1: she's right, she's one hundred percent right. I agree with her.
Speaker 1: I think this is a bad parent, all right. I
Speaker 1: think the audio I'm about to play for you is
Speaker 1: a woman who is a bad parent, who's dumb as
Speaker 1: hell and is proud of being a bad parent because
Speaker 1: she doesn't know how ignorant all the things that she's
Speaker 1: saying on and that to me is the frustrating part.
Speaker 1: But this is a mother who is going viral this
Speaker 1: week on all of the social media platforms that you
Speaker 1: could think of. There's a lot of action on this video,
Speaker 1: without a doubt, and I want to play this for you.
Speaker 1: Here she is, she's talking about her kids. She's got
Speaker 1: three kids, and she says school's about to start. Her
Speaker 1: kids don't do homework. They do not do homwork. She
Speaker 1: refused to have her kids do any homework. Stand By,
Speaker 1: here we go.
Speaker 4: It's that time of the.
Speaker 7: Year again when I make that video where I let
Speaker 7: everybody know that my children do not do homework and
Speaker 7: they're never going to do homework.
Speaker 1: Okay, she says, my kids do not do homework and
Speaker 1: they're never going to do homework. So let flat out
Speaker 1: the kids aren't going to ever do it. They've never
Speaker 1: done it. Her kids are. There's one that's like, oh,
Speaker 1: she says the ages in a second here. I tried
Speaker 1: to just get past the part where she drops the
Speaker 1: s bomb of the video, so hopefully I did that.
Speaker 7: It's school all day for eight hours, come home and
Speaker 7: do homework if you want to fail them because of it,
Speaker 7: failed them because of it, and you're the reason why
Speaker 7: they won't graduate.
Speaker 1: Okay, she says, my kids will never do homework, all right,
Speaker 1: you have long enough with my kids at school. It's
Speaker 1: your job to teach them. And she says, if you
Speaker 1: can't get the job done in school, too bad. And
Speaker 1: if you fail my kids because they didn't bring in
Speaker 1: any homework, that's on you. That's your fault. That's your fault.
Speaker 1: If my kids don't, don't fail. To me, this may
Speaker 1: be the easiest side picking battle. Ever, this woman fundamentally
Speaker 1: doesn't understand the job of a teacher. A teacher she
Speaker 1: thinks she does, though, that's the problem. She's thinks so
Speaker 1: confident about it.
Speaker 5: She's she might be, you know, coming from this one
Speaker 5: of these standpoints where it's like when you think of
Speaker 5: getting into the workforce and you hear like your ads
Speaker 5: for this, you know, some of the lawyers that advertise
Speaker 5: on our station will be like, Hey, you are paid
Speaker 5: to do your job at work, and if you're required
Speaker 5: to do things outside of work, they're required to pay
Speaker 5: you for that too, and so you might be on
Speaker 5: the hook for like missing wages. Like yah, unfair, You're
Speaker 5: you're doing work that you're not getting paid for You're
Speaker 5: on the hook for that, right. So I think Morgan
Speaker 5: has done a few of those before, and so I
Speaker 5: think maybe she's like taking that back to like, Hey,
Speaker 5: your job is to teach at the school. They don't
Speaker 5: need to be doing any work outside of this is
Speaker 5: that school time, This is my time.
Speaker 1: How ignorant can you be? The job of a teacher.
Speaker 1: These the hardworking teachers of the United States of America,
Speaker 1: despite the fact that there's so many terrible parents sending
Speaker 1: hellion children into their classrooms with attitudes like this. The
Speaker 1: job of the teacher is to put out a lesson
Speaker 1: a lesson for the students in the class. Current might
Speaker 1: be twenty of them, there might be thirty of them,
Speaker 1: to put out a lesson for the students in the class.
Speaker 1: The homework is intended to see if the children are
Speaker 1: actually learning from the lesson, right, So the teacher teaches
Speaker 1: the lesson, sends it home, and then it's also the
Speaker 1: responsibility of the parents to do and review that homework
Speaker 1: with the kids, so you, as a parent are informed
Speaker 1: on whether or not your child is learning anything in class.
Speaker 1: This is not some bonafide bonus daycare system for you
Speaker 1: to send your kids through when it comes to school.
Speaker 1: And that's this is a way more pervasive thought than
Speaker 1: you guys think it is. And I'm telling you, I
Speaker 1: think some people I'm on the mom's side, there's some
Speaker 1: people already who are taking her side. I think that's crazy.
Speaker 1: This woman sounds so dopey to me, and she's gonna
Speaker 1: set her kids up for failure. But she thinks she's
Speaker 1: so right.
Speaker 7: My twelve year old has never done homework, my ten
Speaker 7: year old has ever done homework, and my six year
Speaker 7: old has never done homework, but never going to do homework.
Speaker 9: And that's just that.
Speaker 7: And teachers can get over themselves. You teach them for
Speaker 7: eight hours a day. If that's not enough time, Like,
Speaker 7: I don't know what else to tell you. You guys
Speaker 7: always have an issue with it, and we always make
Speaker 7: it this big deal and you always call me and
Speaker 7: prepare and teach your compasses.
Speaker 2: That I don't attend because they don't care.
Speaker 4: Like literally, your job is to teach them at school.
Speaker 1: They don't care. Yeah, that's that's a much heavier statement
Speaker 1: than she thinks it is. Yeah, that's it. You invite
Speaker 1: me to these parent teacher conferences. I don't go to
Speaker 1: them because I don't care. Kids need to learn how
Speaker 1: to do independent works his bootsy. Yes, yes, true, that's
Speaker 1: the entire point. Like, how absolutely dopey are you that
Speaker 1: you don't know this and you've got three kids in
Speaker 1: them at home?
Speaker 4: Otherwise I would be a homeschool teacher.
Speaker 1: Got it.
Speaker 7: Job as a parent is to play with my kids.
Speaker 7: Your job as a teacher is to teach my kids.
Speaker 1: Oh god, there's so much in that sentence. There's so
Speaker 1: much to extrapolate in that sentence. That is an absolute
Speaker 1: I think it's a symptom of what's happening with a
Speaker 1: lot of younger parents in that job is to play
Speaker 1: with my kids. My job is to play with my kids.
Speaker 1: Your job is to teach them? Is such a symptom
Speaker 1: of a larger disease.
Speaker 2: Got it.
Speaker 7: Job as a parent is to play with my kids.
Speaker 1: Your job a teacher is to.
Speaker 12: Teach my kid.
Speaker 1: Your job as a parent is one thing. At a
Speaker 1: fundamental level, it is one thing as a parent, and
Speaker 1: so many parents fail at this. Your job is to
Speaker 1: raise your kid, keep them alive, and get them ready
Speaker 1: for success. That's it, It's all in one. Your job
Speaker 1: is to keep them alive, and prepare them for the
Speaker 1: real world. That is the job of a parent. That
Speaker 1: involves a lot of things that are packed into it,
Speaker 1: but that's the job. Keep the kid alive and prepare
Speaker 1: them for a successful life. It's no different than a
Speaker 1: bird or a bear or anything with a bee, right,
Speaker 1: a million different animals, a bear or a bever or
Speaker 1: a pole. It's no different than any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: That's what your job is, to set your kid up
Speaker 1: for success before wants to play with them.
Speaker 9: Marcusn't happening.
Speaker 1: First off, I don't want to do it in the
Speaker 1: first place.
Speaker 7: Like I don't know how to do algebra, and I'm
Speaker 7: not going to learn how to do algebra.
Speaker 1: Y'all can do it.
Speaker 7: If you want my kid to do homework, have them
Speaker 7: do it during recess or something. I don't know how
Speaker 7: you're gonna do it, but I'm not doing homework with
Speaker 7: my kids.
Speaker 1: Have them do it in recess or something. Do we
Speaker 1: need to examine the word a little bit? Listen? Do
Speaker 1: we need to extrapolate the I thought homework had everything
Speaker 1: you need in it. I thought, like, sure, what is
Speaker 1: the thing work? Where is it to be done? Home?
Speaker 1: It's all It's all right. There. I thought it was
Speaker 1: all right there, but she says do it in school.
Speaker 1: I was trying to search for this video to see
Speaker 1: if there was more about this woman or anything, and yeah,
Speaker 1: all I'm seeing is more people that are seeing this
Speaker 1: as an option. Why I stopped making my kids do homework?
Speaker 1: I don't make my children do their homework. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you parents dot com.
Speaker 5: Parents dot Com article titled yes you can opt your
Speaker 5: kids out of homework?
Speaker 1: Here how I leave?
Speaker 4: I'll leave?
Speaker 1: Is that seriously? On the parents dot com website my
Speaker 1: kids out of Homework?
Speaker 5: To opt out, I send a note to each of
Speaker 5: my children's teachers at the beginning of the year, letting
Speaker 5: them know that my child will not be completing homework,
Speaker 5: that their overall grades should not be impacted, and that
Speaker 5: they should not be penalized in any way for not
Speaker 5: turning in a homework assignment. How do people even want
Speaker 5: to be teachers? Okay, this is millennial parenting.
Speaker 1: Okay, the Gen Z kids will never do this, The
Speaker 1: Gen ALPHA kids will never do this to their own kids.
Speaker 1: The millennial parenting problem is way too much hugging, not
Speaker 1: enough preparing your kids for the real world, right, Hugging
Speaker 1: is so much fun, though what you can hug too,
Speaker 1: You could do both, but you gotta you gotta make
Speaker 1: sure that you're preparing your kids for success in the future.
Speaker 1: And my god, is that dope. And then to see
Speaker 1: so many other people share that opinion makes me want
Speaker 1: to rip my hair out. She's got a twelve year
Speaker 1: old to ten year old and a six year old.
Speaker 1: They've never done homework. They never will do an assignment
Speaker 1: at home, she says. You teachers, if you have an
Speaker 1: issue with this, can get over yourselves. Now here's the
Speaker 1: kicker on this. The teachers are going to go, well,
Speaker 1: it was part of the assignment to do the homework.
Speaker 1: You didn't bring your homework in because you haven't done
Speaker 1: any homework at your mom's request. You are failing this year.
Speaker 1: And then the mom is gonna do she I think
Speaker 1: she flat out said it. She's gonna blame the teacher
Speaker 1: for the kid not passing, because that's how some of
Speaker 1: these people view schools. It's a daycare where you don't
Speaker 1: have to teach your kid anything, but everybody else has to.
Speaker 1: And if your kid fails at anything, it's never your fault.
Speaker 1: It's solely the fault of the teacher in the school. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not totally totally doomer pilled on this because I'll
Speaker 1: tell you I saw something yesterday. And if Selan's not
Speaker 1: already going through this, boy will he soon. It's such
Speaker 1: a fun and frustrating time. I saw this sweet mother
Speaker 1: she was she probably did, Yes, she probably did. And
Speaker 1: what in the moment I saw steeln She was driving
Speaker 1: around the park on a bicycle. This sweet mother had
Speaker 1: purchased this thing. I'd never seen this before. That made
Speaker 1: her bicycle in her little kid's bicycle behind her like
Speaker 1: a double like a you know, like connected the bicycles
Speaker 1: together so you as the parent can pedal and steer
Speaker 1: and the kid just holds the handles and rides behind
Speaker 1: and it makes a like a double bike out of
Speaker 1: out of any two bikes. And the mom's doing this,
Speaker 1: and the little kid goes, what's that? And the little kid,
Speaker 1: as they're going by, points at the crime scene tape
Speaker 1: that's up because they're doing some construction, you know, like
Speaker 1: the caution tape. Oh it's up at the park, not
Speaker 1: crime scene tape, but caution team tape is a difference.
Speaker 1: So there's been a med the caution tape up at
Speaker 1: the park and the kid goes, what's that and mom goes,
Speaker 1: that's because they're doing some work in there. They don't
Speaker 1: want anybody to get hurt. Wisey yellow, it's because it's
Speaker 1: a bright color so everybody can see it, so nobody
Speaker 1: gets injured. Why would somebody get injured because the construction
Speaker 1: sites sometimes the people have to And the mom is
Speaker 1: just so exasperated because she's in this phase that happens
Speaker 1: when kids learn to talk to sea land. The kids
Speaker 1: ask questions about literally everything you could possibly think of.
Speaker 1: Every parent knows this who's had a little kid. They
Speaker 1: ask questions about everything. Why are the clouds white? Why
Speaker 1: is this? Why is that? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Speaker 11: Me?
Speaker 1: Me?
Speaker 8: Me?
Speaker 1: You know why they're asking that because it's evolutionary and
Speaker 1: we're supposed to figure out these things and this is
Speaker 1: how we learn them from our parents, and parents like
Speaker 1: this are like, I don't know, figure that out at school,
Speaker 1: and that that is bad parenting and my in my estimation,
Speaker 1: you let me know what you think. Maybe you disagree.
Speaker 1: Send a dispatch over at thenewschunky dot com. I just
Speaker 1: was amazed at the number of people who were like, yeah, No,
Speaker 1: when my kids come home, they're with me. They're not
Speaker 1: doing homework.
Speaker 5: This parents dot com article is wild, says if your
Speaker 5: child goes to an open admissions public school, opting out
Speaker 5: of homework can be something you consider. While it may
Speaker 5: be a particularly good choice if homework is causing major
Speaker 5: household stress, you don't have to wait until your child
Speaker 5: is miserable to act if they or you would simply
Speaker 5: prefer to spend the time in other ways. There are
Speaker 5: no There are no legal requirements that students complete work
Speaker 5: outside of school hours, and for many children, the actual
Speaker 5: determinants of homework outweigh the theoretical benefits.
Speaker 1: No, no, this is parents dot com. Yes, what has
Speaker 1: infested this website? What has infested this publication? You can't
Speaker 1: if your child this is like, this is like the
Speaker 1: exact issue that is being washed out. Thank God of
Speaker 1: American society, in Western society right now can't wash out
Speaker 1: fast enough. I even saw this in a court case
Speaker 1: the other day that somebody who's reading in the court case,
Speaker 1: there was a young woman who claimed that she was
Speaker 1: sexually assaulted and physically sexually attacked by this man, and
Speaker 1: the man said she was making it up and that
Speaker 1: this was not true and she was doing this to
Speaker 1: harm his reputation. And in the court documents, her attorney
Speaker 1: said when she said he physically sexually assaulted her, she
Speaker 1: wasn't speaking about it in terms of the definition of
Speaker 1: the words sexual assault or the phrase sexual assault. She
Speaker 1: was speaking at it from her own truth and her
Speaker 1: view of how these instances went down. And thankfully the
Speaker 1: judge dismissed that nonsense, so it didn't happen. The lawyer
Speaker 1: literally tried to do this in a case and the
Speaker 1: judge dismissed it because there's no such thing as your truth.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of ideology at play when you say, well,
Speaker 1: if your kid wants to do something else, of course
Speaker 1: your kid wants to do something else other than their homework.
Speaker 1: But being a parents sometimes is about making them do
Speaker 1: the things that will make them a better adult, you know,
Speaker 1: not just the stuff that they want to do. Holye cow,
Speaker 1: there you go, and we'll see what you think about this.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you agree with this, lady,
Speaker 1: but you can let us know over at the Newsyunky
Speaker 1: dot com. And the other piece of information I had
Speaker 1: for you was Delta eight THHC products, all these different
Speaker 1: THC drinks, hemp derived THCHC. I said that there was
Speaker 1: a clock ticking on those things, and I said, you
Speaker 1: won't be able to get them unless something drastic changed.
Speaker 1: And from that moment things have only gotten worse. The
Speaker 1: liquor companies that sell these THHC drinks, they are escalating
Speaker 1: their calls for people to do something about this, otherwise
Speaker 1: the entire part of the store is going to disappear.
Speaker 1: And in some places, for some of you, you're already
Speaker 1: already losing the ability to buy these They're taking them
Speaker 1: off the shelves already. I'll tell you where this is
Speaker 1: happen and we'll talk about what's going on in just
Speaker 1: a little bit. As coming up next in the news, Chunky,
Speaker 1: they're tired of humans playing god. They say this is
Speaker 1: people see Lane reacting to the plan to release something.
Speaker 1: And when I saw this, I was like, I kind
Speaker 1: of get what you're saying, but it doesn't logically follow,
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't make sense. In Florida, for those of
Speaker 1: you who don't know, one of the great scourges of
Speaker 1: Florida life is mosquitoes. Save for knock on all of
Speaker 1: the wood in my neighborhood. We have so many bats
Speaker 1: that the bats eat all of the Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: bats are amazing. I love bats. I'm a big bat fan.
Speaker 1: All Right.
Speaker 5: We got a bat house a while back and still
Speaker 5: have not put it up.
Speaker 1: Well, you got to put it off, I know, I know.
Speaker 1: They're so good. You get bats going on in your
Speaker 1: neighborhood and they will completely wipe out the mosquito population.
Speaker 1: That's the real answer to that. And then we'll just
Speaker 1: have bats, which is kind of cool. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: mind bats. Maybe there's a bad side of too many
Speaker 1: bats too, but all right, there there is a Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably too much guanto must be bad. But this, the
Speaker 1: story says, I'm tired of humans playing god. Thousands react
Speaker 1: to a plan to release thirty two million modified mosquitos
Speaker 1: in Florida. So they're not the first time anything like
Speaker 1: this has been done. This is how they do it
Speaker 1: a lot when they're trying to combat diseases and stuff
Speaker 1: that are spreading. Well, aren't they doing that?
Speaker 5: They were talking about genetically modifying the mosquitos so that.
Speaker 1: The pro creation cuts off, right, That's what it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's what it is. The debug programs they want
Speaker 1: to release the good name, and Google is behind at
Speaker 1: least one of the major ones. And Google is getting
Speaker 1: ready if they're approved in this permit, and they're going
Speaker 1: to release over the course of two years thirty two
Speaker 1: million mosquitoes modified mosquitoes. So in one year, sixteen million
Speaker 1: released out wandering around flying through the airs. Next year
Speaker 1: the other half the other sixteen million, a total of
Speaker 1: thirty two million mosquitoes will be released. And this program
Speaker 1: from Google releases these sterile mosquitoes so that the other
Speaker 1: mosquitoes try to mate with them, and then they don't
Speaker 1: end up having more mosquitoes, less mosquitos, less chance that
Speaker 1: you'll get zeka, which is real bad yellow fever or
Speaker 1: dengey and other issues that you can run into. I
Speaker 1: don't think we're supposed to call it yellow fever anymore.
Speaker 1: Well that's what it says on the sheet in front
Speaker 1: of me. Here, this article says yellow fever sensitive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's a different one. Per officials with the program,
Speaker 1: this method could help the spread of such diseases without
Speaker 1: relying on unstainable pesticides or attempting to clear all standing
Speaker 1: water in an area. Something they say is unfeasible, so
Speaker 1: they're all male mosquitoes, like the opposite of Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1: They're all male mosquitoes. The male mosquitoes cannot bite, nor
Speaker 1: can they spread disease, and then these ones can't have offspring,
Speaker 1: so they go out there, they're all male, they attempt
Speaker 1: to mate and then nothing happens, and then they're a
Speaker 1: lesser population of mosquitoes. But there was a bunch of
Speaker 1: people who said, what is the ramification, what are the
Speaker 1: results going to be of this? I'm so tired. This
Speaker 1: is one of the comments. I'm so tired of humans
Speaker 1: playing god. And I asked to you, if if that's
Speaker 1: the way you feel about the mosquito program, you could
Speaker 1: apply that to like everything that we do with wildlife,
Speaker 1: because we intervene all the time. We have a contest.
Speaker 1: We literally had somebody on a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 1: who was part of the contest to kill pythons because
Speaker 1: we have too many pythons in the Florida Everglades in particular.
Speaker 5: I think that's not playgody enough for some people's likings.
Speaker 5: I think when you start hearing genetically modified, you know,
Speaker 5: people are like, oh, whoa, whoa they're doing. They're putting
Speaker 5: too much science into this. There's not a lot of
Speaker 5: science into killing pythons.
Speaker 1: We get it.
Speaker 5: Too many pythons, kills some pythons, less pythons. That's not sciencey,
Speaker 5: but actually going in and manipulating the genes and having
Speaker 5: the test tubes, and that's I think that's where people
Speaker 5: really get the feeling of playing god, and that's where
Speaker 5: it rubs them the wrong way.
Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right. I think it's genetically modified
Speaker 1: is the trigger. I think that's what gets people. If
Speaker 1: you tell people about genetically modified meat or genetically modified foods,
Speaker 1: the oh my god. And if you say, well, hey,
Speaker 1: what if what if this one type of banana tasted better?
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, I want banana tasted better? Well,
Speaker 1: what if to do that you have to selectively, like
Speaker 1: you know, breed the bananas in such so many words,
Speaker 1: to make the bananas sweeter and bigger and better and
Speaker 1: less prone to having all sorts of diseases. And they'll go, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want those, And you go, that's genetically modified. It's
Speaker 1: banana eugenics. It's yes, banana eugenics. I'm in full supportive.
Speaker 1: My favorite type of eugenics is banana eugenics. All right,
Speaker 1: don't let anybody tell you it's bad. I'm in full
Speaker 1: support of it. But I don't think this is playing God.
Speaker 1: I think this is playing smart. I think it's playing
Speaker 1: smart God. If you believe in God created humans with
Speaker 1: a level of intellect far beyond anything else. In the
Speaker 1: animal kingdom, we learned how to do all sorts of
Speaker 1: awesome stuff, and it's a very dumb stuff with that interrect.
Speaker 5: You know how we keep as a society as humans
Speaker 5: inventing robots to do stuff that we don't don't want
Speaker 5: to do anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what of God?
Speaker 5: Crazy idea was like, I'm tired of godding all the time.
Speaker 5: I have created man in my image. I've made man very,
Speaker 5: very smart, and he's going to get to a point
Speaker 5: and he could just yeahs.
Speaker 1: Not just Sundays. Yeah he wants to retire. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: started out with one day a week and now the
Speaker 1: retirement plan has arrived. And if you believe in this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, it's not playing God. By the way,
Speaker 1: a lot of these people are quite emotional human beings
Speaker 1: and they'll play God all the time. Like if somebody
Speaker 1: see I'll play god.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: For instance, the other day, I cannot believe I'm going
Speaker 1: to admit this because this is I hate to say this,
Speaker 1: but it's true. I hate to say this, and it's
Speaker 1: going to ruin my rep a little bit, but it's true.
Speaker 1: I was going for my walk the other day and
Speaker 1: as I was walking. I've mentioned before that the neighborhood
Speaker 1: that I live in is just full of peak There
Speaker 1: are peacocks everywhere. And you could tell the new people
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood because they stop and take pictures. And
Speaker 1: then after a while you realize, oh, the peacocks are
Speaker 1: a bit of a problem. They replicate really fast, they're
Speaker 1: really big. Then I'll have a lot of predators that
Speaker 1: go after them. And the peacocks are are everywhere, and
Speaker 1: so I as I'm walking the other day, I see
Speaker 1: this peacock and it's running along the sidewalk and there's
Speaker 1: a sparked car blocking the peacock's view, and the peacock
Speaker 1: is just about to dart in front of a car
Speaker 1: going thirty miles an hour. It doesn't see that there's
Speaker 1: a car coming and it's about to go, and I
Speaker 1: scared the peacock back towards the sidewalk real quick so
Speaker 1: that it wouldn't step out in front and get plowed
Speaker 1: by this car. I was playing god in that situation,
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to get peacock guts all over me.
Speaker 5: Or it was nice for you to just like kind
Speaker 5: of forget your troubles for a minute and just focus
Speaker 5: on being a peacock blocker.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that that thing survived. I
Speaker 1: was a peacock balker in that moment because I thought
Speaker 1: I don't want to get peacock cuts on me. I
Speaker 1: also think I don't want my day to be ruined
Speaker 1: by seeing an animal get absolutely massacred. And I think
Speaker 1: intervening is not all that bad. I'm finding intervening in
Speaker 1: this kid.
Speaker 5: Could you imagine if you let that peacock just get
Speaker 5: run over, and then the driver of that car looks
Speaker 5: at you and like.
Speaker 1: You could have said something, man, you could have said it,
Speaker 1: and I got peacock smeared all over my uh my Mercedes.
Speaker 1: It was big too, Like it was a full sized peacock,
Speaker 1: and it was so close to just I saw everything
Speaker 1: happening in my head. You know, you see things like
Speaker 1: matrix styles. Sometimes you go, oh, God, the peacock, and
Speaker 1: you know that the peacock is about to leap in
Speaker 1: front of the car and then the car is gonna
Speaker 1: hit you picture it all happening so quickly. I just
Speaker 1: scurry it the other way, I intervened. I was playing God.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I think sometimes that's fine. I don't
Speaker 1: have a problem with it. Maybe everybody is on a
Speaker 1: different page on this one. We'll see where you're at.
Speaker 1: Send us a dispatch over on thenewsjunkie dot com. Now,
Speaker 1: this was something that was supposed to be happening, but
Speaker 1: not not right away. This was something that was supposed
Speaker 1: to happen I think in November. But it's already occurring
Speaker 1: in Texas in particular. We know you've got a lot
Speaker 1: of you who are are hanging out there in Texas.
Speaker 1: Here's an example. Texas retailers are already adapting to the
Speaker 1: shifting legal landscape for hemp in Texas. They are already
Speaker 1: pulling the THCHC drinks off of the shelves. They're damn shame.
Speaker 1: Beginning today, all of the THC drinks in the entire
Speaker 1: state of Texas. I guess hang on, let me see
Speaker 1: what they said, this is NBC over in Texas talking
Speaker 1: about their THHC band hitting and just know everything you hear,
Speaker 1: it's what's going to happen for us. And I think,
Speaker 1: is it November? Is that when the other, uh, the
Speaker 1: federal thing is coming up?
Speaker 5: I think so it was like a year from when
Speaker 5: they passed the thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's November, but I'm not positive. I'll
Speaker 1: have to take a look. I know all the liquor
Speaker 1: companies are starting in the liquor stores are starting to
Speaker 1: send out emails to their customers, but it's already happening
Speaker 1: in Texas.
Speaker 13: The HC products sold across Texas will no longer be legal.
Speaker 13: The change will force some businesses to pull products from
Speaker 13: their shelves, while customers who use them are looking for
Speaker 13: what comes next. Good Filmans shows us how one North
Speaker 13: Texas dispensary and its customers are bracing for the change.
Speaker 1: Are they gobbling them all up?
Speaker 14: Endo dispensary And there's a sense of uncertainty.
Speaker 4: In their crying, what are we going to do?
Speaker 1: We want to do through more Bottle on Friday.
Speaker 14: Owner Mike ground says ninety percent of the products on
Speaker 14: his shelves will have to go. How much of that
Speaker 14: you have for seventy six year old Rayma Hue, that's
Speaker 14: hard to accept.
Speaker 1: Oh, the old lady just wants their THC.
Speaker 9: I take the Delta eight to help me sleep. My
Speaker 9: doctor doesn't recommend sleeping peals for me.
Speaker 1: Amen, lady, Amen. It's so good for helping you sleep,
Speaker 1: help me get a full night of sleep. It's good
Speaker 1: at transferring people off of drinking, and it's good for
Speaker 1: a million other reasons. But now I do get a
Speaker 1: little paranoid before I sleep. But I did last night, Buddy,
Speaker 1: Last night, I was like, did I have too many
Speaker 1: of these things? By mid November of this year, that's
Speaker 1: going to be happening in Florida, says Tanya. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: happening in Texas for our friends there already. There are
Speaker 1: a lot of different states where this is kicking in early,
Speaker 1: but the one in November is a federal deal, I think,
Speaker 1: I believe, And the theory is that that's from the
Speaker 1: liquor companies who took a big hit as a result
Speaker 1: of this, and they want to remove your options from it.
Speaker 14: With the products she's relied on for years to treat insomnia.
Speaker 14: About to disappear from store shelves.
Speaker 11: I got your covered.
Speaker 1: She stopped up, thank you.
Speaker 14: In a matter of hours. Texas will ban the sale
Speaker 14: of consumable heat products containing intoxicating cannabinoids.
Speaker 1: Like delta PHCP. The state says those products pose a
Speaker 1: risk to public health. Yeah, there's a huge risk to
Speaker 1: public health. Now, please if you will shift over from
Speaker 1: the thhcile to the tequila isle, where everything is very
Speaker 1: healthy for you and nothing will bother your health at all.
Speaker 1: Who the hellth says cannabinoids? I've not, I think right,
Speaker 1: that's what I've heard. Cannabinoids. Do you smoke?
Speaker 5: Do you think that now that they've sold these in
Speaker 5: stores and people have gotten kind of used to them
Speaker 5: and relied on them, do you think maybe not this specific,
Speaker 5: but some ladies like this will go well, I can't
Speaker 5: get my THHC gummies anymore. I'm gonna have to just
Speaker 5: find a good old fashioned drug dealer.
Speaker 1: That's right. They're gonna go to the streets. They're gonna
Speaker 1: go to the black market. This lady's like, I can't
Speaker 1: sleep anymore, and the only other option is for you
Speaker 1: to buy so many nowadays that you can last for
Speaker 1: the rest of your life, and I've already done the math.
Speaker 1: It ain't good.
Speaker 5: You've already found out the cubic disc, the cubic feet
Speaker 5: of your Harry Potter room. It seem just how much
Speaker 5: nowadays you can fit in there. Nowadays are not cheap folks.
Speaker 5: I think a six pack is like fifteen dollars. You
Speaker 5: were the one that decided on drinking the most expensive
Speaker 5: THCHC drink on the shelf.
Speaker 1: It's the best one I buy the buddies, and they
Speaker 1: are my buddies. Well, maybe they're good. Maybe I should
Speaker 1: be trying those out.
Speaker 5: I have found that the flavors on them, especially the
Speaker 5: zero sugar, because there are no product when to zero
Speaker 5: sugar faster than these THHC seltzers. It was like perfect
Speaker 5: for people on like low carb diets and stuff. You're like,
Speaker 5: you want to get a little high. Here's a seltzer
Speaker 5: that has the hint of flavor, a suggestion of flavor.
Speaker 5: Look how healthy they are. You see what we're hearing exactly.
Speaker 5: And then so I don't find them to have that
Speaker 5: much taste. So my regimen when I'm having a California
Speaker 5: sober night is to take one of the ten milligram cans,
Speaker 5: split it into two mocktails, you know, and then just
Speaker 5: and I mix it with ginger beer. So it's very
Speaker 5: similar to what I would be drinking if there was
Speaker 5: VA and I love it. It's the same thing, you know,
Speaker 5: a similar taste, and it's great.
Speaker 1: I don't mix in the ginger beer, but that's actually
Speaker 1: a good idea I should try that. I do, but
Speaker 1: I do the same thing you do. I make a
Speaker 1: little mocktail at it, and I'm not drinking alcohol. Alien
Speaker 1: two says, grow your own ass? Where are the instructions
Speaker 1: on how to grow nowadays?
Speaker 8: What am I.
Speaker 1: Supposed to do? He's talking about just grow your own weed?
Speaker 15: Why?
Speaker 1: Exactly? But Sean, all you need to do is cultivate
Speaker 1: a small marijuana garden in your backyard, make that marijuana
Speaker 1: grow to full height, figure out how to shock it
Speaker 1: and get the bud to come off the plant, Separate
Speaker 1: the THHC from the flowers. Distill this into a usable
Speaker 1: liquid that you can then make into your own beverage
Speaker 1: that hopefully doesn't kill you or get you too high
Speaker 1: because you have no idea what you're doing? Am I,
Speaker 1: mister wizard? What do you think I'm gonna be am
Speaker 1: I Bill Ny the science guy. I don't. I have
Speaker 1: no idea how to do any of that.
Speaker 5: I just want to be able to go to the
Speaker 5: store and buy the thing that I can bind Willie
Speaker 5: Wonka for weed. Yeah, I already exists. What am I
Speaker 5: supposed to do? To hell with this whole thing? And
Speaker 5: not enough people are angry enough? So guess what's gonna happen.
Speaker 5: My words will fly out into Nowhereville, into the ether,
Speaker 5: and then at the end of the year, you guys
Speaker 5: would be like, oh man, you're right about that thing.
Speaker 5: I guess we can't get those anymore unless you want
Speaker 5: something to change. And then you got to get a
Speaker 5: little bit loud about this. That's what I think you
Speaker 5: need to do. Let us know your thoughts.
Speaker 1: Send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Okay, we
Speaker 1: got to get into your dispatches, which I think we'll
Speaker 1: do in just a moment.

Speaker 1: to also your emails, which are coming in. Big thank you,
Speaker 1: big fat, giant thank you to Oh shoot, who was it.
Speaker 1: I didn't get the email for this because the website
Speaker 1: was completely crashing the moment I can tell you hang on,

Speaker 1: to news Junkie dot com com. Yeah, he ain't that,
Speaker 1: Tom Tom. It just works. When we come back. The
Speaker 1: new documentary that is really really freaking people out is
Speaker 1: pretty crazy to see and it's got me changing my
Speaker 1: mind about something for the second time today. What's that
Speaker 1: It's coming up next on the News Junkie. Last night
Speaker 1: we watched the new Brian Koberger docuseries on Netflix and
Speaker 1: I got to tell you a completely changed my mind
Speaker 1: about this story. It's called No. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: in his sad. I think I mean, I think the
Speaker 1: case is such an open and shut case to me,
Speaker 1: because if you don't remember this case, Brian Koberger was
Speaker 1: this scumbag who went to this small town in Idaho
Speaker 1: and at this house. I'm looking at the house here
Speaker 1: from the Netflix trailer for the Idaho Murders, and this
Speaker 1: house is kind of strange. It's like this three story
Speaker 1: house where all these girls lived together and it was
Speaker 1: like a party house for college. And he was casing
Speaker 1: the house, and eventually, in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: about three or four o'clock, he stopped by sneaks into
Speaker 1: the house and he went through the house and killed
Speaker 1: four people. Killed three women, three young women in the
Speaker 1: prime of their lives. For God's said, you know, twenty
Speaker 1: something year old, the whole lives ahead of them. I
Speaker 1: should say, your whole life is the prime. But the
Speaker 1: whole life was ahead of him, and these young girls
Speaker 1: had that stripped away from them by this lunatic. And
Speaker 1: it changed my mind. It really didn't. Because number One,
Speaker 1: they had a lot of great footage. Bodycam footage is
Speaker 1: just a boon to the documentary world. It's huge, it's
Speaker 1: changing everything. It's adding so much great footage to these documentaries.
Speaker 1: And they showed a lot of scenes in this that
Speaker 1: I had never seen before. But the thing that really
Speaker 1: changed my mind was this documentary about those murders in
Speaker 1: Idaho of those those college girls. I said that I
Speaker 1: was I was angry because Brian Coberger he put in
Speaker 1: a guilty plea in exchange for not getting the death penalty,
Speaker 1: and the prosecution and the judge they gave it to him.
Speaker 1: And we remember the whole thing where the like the
Speaker 1: family statements, the victim statements were these people were coming
Speaker 1: up to the microphone and they were just letting this
Speaker 1: guy have like, oh my god, they were cursing him.
Speaker 1: They were like absolutely letting it rip one hundred percent
Speaker 1: on on this guy because he murdered their loved one.
Speaker 1: And that's awesome, right, It's awesome that they were able
Speaker 1: to do that and have that. I should clarify, But
Speaker 1: I said, well, now all of a sudden, Brian Coberger
Speaker 1: wants to retract his guilty plea and he's arguing that
Speaker 1: his lawyers were giving him bad advice, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And I said, the judge should deny this. The family
Speaker 1: has already gone through this. The family, the families of
Speaker 1: all these victims just want to move on with their lives.
Speaker 1: But when I watched this documentary, the families made it
Speaker 1: so clear that they want this dude to get the
Speaker 1: death penalty, all right. They were mad that the prosecutor
Speaker 1: made a deal. They were upset that they didn't get
Speaker 1: to have their day in court. So if the family
Speaker 1: members want that, and they would be happy that he
Speaker 1: would withdraw his guilty plea, I changed my mind. I
Speaker 1: think that the judge should grant it. Let the family
Speaker 1: members have that day in court, let them go after
Speaker 1: that death penalty. It's an open and shutcase. The guy's
Speaker 1: DNA was found on the knife shield or the sheath.
Speaker 1: You could say that he left behind at the murder scene,
Speaker 1: the knife sheath that he was proven to have purchased
Speaker 1: on his Amazon account. The knife sheath had his DNA
Speaker 1: that they traced back to him. The DNA from that
Speaker 1: gave them a warrant to take his cell phone information
Speaker 1: and track him as he would go to this neighborhood
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, casing it beforehand, casing
Speaker 1: this tiny little town in Idaho where this all went down,
Speaker 1: and then after the murders, never going back to that
Speaker 1: town again, which is very suspicious obviously.
Speaker 5: Do you think the family members do want the judge
Speaker 5: to grant this request for a new trial.
Speaker 1: I think that they would, judging by what they said
Speaker 1: on the docuseries, I thought that they would.
Speaker 5: The stuff that they said on the docuseries. Was it
Speaker 5: after the courtroom day where everybody had their say it
Speaker 5: him and the the case was all closed and he
Speaker 5: was sentenced and hauled off to jails.
Speaker 1: Yes, I believe so.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And my curiosity would be like, yeah, you you
Speaker 5: talk to the family members at the time who were
Speaker 5: really upset that this plea deal was allowed to happen,
Speaker 5: and you know, they made it, they said as much.
Speaker 5: And then maybe they've had some time to try and
Speaker 5: move past this, and perhaps some of them would go, yeah,
Speaker 5: I wish he would have been given the death penalty
Speaker 5: or not been given this this plea deal. But at
Speaker 5: this time, you know, I've done so much work on
Speaker 5: myself on getting past this, on on moving on that
Speaker 5: giving this guy a new trial would just kind of well,
Speaker 5: stuff back up.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never been in a situation like this,
Speaker 1: so I mean I haven't either, but I think I
Speaker 1: would feel exactly how you just explained. I think that's
Speaker 1: how I would feel.
Speaker 5: I believed that that you wouldn't want to like bring
Speaker 5: it back up, No, have it like re ignite old
Speaker 5: feelings in everything that you went through at the moment.
Speaker 1: No, to be totally clear, there was three young girls
Speaker 1: and one young man who were killed by Brian Koberger.
Speaker 1: In this docu series that Idaho Murders. They lay the
Speaker 1: whole thing out. It's really really good in very interesting
Speaker 1: watch for sure. But there were, you know, four families
Speaker 1: that were affected by this, and you know many more
Speaker 1: down the line. The families of the young man who died,
Speaker 1: they didn't even show up to the court thing where
Speaker 1: they were making their statements and stuff. They did a
Speaker 1: memorial where they all went out on the water and
Speaker 1: partied in his memory, and they like, they didn't want
Speaker 1: to be part of this stuff. So that family doesn't
Speaker 1: feel that way. But the other three families are like death,
Speaker 1: you know, they want they want revenge. Some of the
Speaker 1: footage I don't know if I could play this or not.
Speaker 1: This is from the preview that Netflix put out. Stand
Speaker 1: by the dump buttons see them find them?
Speaker 4: Yeah, to the rooms called checks. They thought they saw
Speaker 4: someone in here last night and they won their rooms.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is some young guy. If you don't know
Speaker 1: the story, there were ones. The cream of it.
Speaker 4: There was.
Speaker 1: There was two women who were inside this house in
Speaker 1: Idaho whor all the murders took place, and they got very,
Speaker 1: very scared, and one of them she locked herself in
Speaker 1: her room after Brian Coberger literally walked by her in
Speaker 1: the hallway and spared her. For whatever reason, she was
Speaker 1: freaking out. She was maybe on mushrooms, you don't know,
Speaker 1: freaking out. And then she didn't dial nine to one
Speaker 1: when this happened around four o'clock in the morning. She
Speaker 1: didn't dial nine one one until the next day around noon.
Speaker 1: So this these murders had happened in this house. This
Speaker 1: woman had seen the intruder and had known what was
Speaker 1: going on. There was the texting going on between roommates
Speaker 1: and stuff. But she was so freaked out, so maybe
Speaker 1: you know, tweaked out that she didn't call nine one
Speaker 1: one for like eight hours. And she also called some
Speaker 1: of her friends, including the guy that the cops are
Speaker 1: approaching here and said, something happened in my house. And
Speaker 1: it was that guy who went into the room and
Speaker 1: discovered that something was wrong.
Speaker 2: And I love the word I saw that.
Speaker 1: I saw that is there anybody else upstairs?
Speaker 4: Don't touch anything.
Speaker 1: Don't touch it.
Speaker 2: Drive that night.
Speaker 4: And the kitchen because when I went in there, I
Speaker 4: didn't know if there's something there. Okay, Like you can.
Speaker 1: See the house is all set up at a party house.
Speaker 1: They've got flip cup or you know, like beer pong. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were just college kids living life and joining themselves.
Speaker 1: Be sure that you ready with you.
Speaker 16: Tell my name?
Speaker 1: Okay, ship right here, I.
Speaker 4: Want to go in the house over here.
Speaker 1: That's freaking out. The house wasn't clear yet, you dream
Speaker 1: here and all. They showed the moment where I'll stop
Speaker 1: it right there because it by positive the perfect spot.
Speaker 1: That's when he stumbled upon the other two bodies. And
Speaker 1: it is definitely worth watching. And it's called The Idaho
Speaker 1: Murders over on Netflix. If you haven't seen that series yet,
Speaker 1: watch it and report back. Let me know if it

Speaker 1: so strange and she had to be secretive and was
Speaker 1: hiding her information and stuff. No, I don't know what

Speaker 1: here here is Bland with the dispatch joining us on
Speaker 1: the showy. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 9: Playing God on an individual basis is fun. Saving that peacock, great,
Speaker 9: I saved some bunnies Yesterday's pretty cool about it. But
Speaker 9: when you have played God on a bigger scale, all
Speaker 9: of these tons of mosquitoes, that's going to have more
Speaker 9: than just an individual effect. How many people? How many
Speaker 9: mosquitoes are going to hit some cars windshield? How many
Speaker 9: of them are going to fly into people's homes? How
Speaker 9: many animals are.
Speaker 4: Going to eat them?
Speaker 9: What does it mean when you eat some weird mosquito
Speaker 9: like that, that one little animal?
Speaker 15: I don't know.
Speaker 9: It's too big of a scale. That's too godly, individual
Speaker 9: God great, affecting multiple people God not so fun?
Speaker 1: All right, there we goes Blands take on that. I
Speaker 1: will tell you they said that all the mosquitoes they
Speaker 1: were releasing for that project, they said that they don't bite,
Speaker 1: do they? I don't know. I mean I think.
Speaker 5: Is this one of those things that everybody, if we
Speaker 5: were to say wrong, everybody like, oh, you idiot, female
Speaker 5: mosquitos are the only ones to bite. They're releasing male
Speaker 5: mosquitos that can'taturally, So yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Think I think that's the case. So, yeah, they're all male.
Speaker 1: They don't. I'm having like a DejaVu of being wrong
Speaker 1: about that before. Yeah, probably somebody on the texting service like, actually,
Speaker 1: you know if they might be right about that. So,
Speaker 1: but that's what they're releasing, and they're allegedly they don't bite,
Speaker 1: and then when they mate, they don't have actual mosquito
Speaker 1: larva that comes to you know, the birth status or
Speaker 1: whatever birth status as they say, still work though. All right,
Speaker 1: let's let's do this. Here we go. Let's to the
Speaker 1: hot sheets.
Speaker 4: It's new.
Speaker 1: But not like important news that's investigatory parting on the
Speaker 1: planet book.
Speaker 5: Top stories from the people on your screens and speakers
Speaker 5: are on a hot sheet with Sea Lane. That's right.
Speaker 5: The top five stories in the nonsense news brought to
Speaker 5: you by that mortgage guy Don And uh, this this
Speaker 5: story I pulled because it was very similar to something
Speaker 5: we talked about earlier this week, where remember the writer
Speaker 5: of or the writer the I don't even know if
Speaker 5: you call her writer. She was a translator that did
Speaker 5: the most recent translation of the Odyssey, Yeah, from the
Speaker 5: Greek poem to English text, and it was her take
Speaker 5: on it that Chris Nolan based the movie on. And
Speaker 5: then she was like, I would be embarrassed to have
Speaker 5: written this movie. And you're like, all right, lady, come on,
Speaker 5: that's what.
Speaker 1: It's been pretty successful, this Odyssey movie. People are.
Speaker 5: I mean, I was just in the hallway and I
Speaker 5: was telling one of our promo guys. I was like,
Speaker 5: I don't know if I could sit in a in
Speaker 5: a movie theater for three hours. And somebody who just
Speaker 5: was coming around the corner just guessed what we were
Speaker 5: talking about. Heard three hours in a movie theater knew
Speaker 5: we were talking about. Odyssey goes.
Speaker 1: You gotta do it, man, it's the greatest movie you got.
Speaker 1: You gotta go see the Odyssey in theaters. Literally just
Speaker 1: saw somebody in chat moments ago say can't wait finally
Speaker 1: going to see the Odyssey this weekend. So as a
Speaker 1: pretty common little conversation that's going on, which says to
Speaker 1: me that they did a good job. Right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well there's another author that's finding themselves in a
Speaker 5: similar situation, except much worse. And these these adaptations of
Speaker 5: books have been huge, especially on the streaming platforms, you know,
Speaker 5: skipping movie theaters going straight to streaming. A lot of
Speaker 5: Netflix movies are killing it with these book adaptations. And
Speaker 5: there's this author who wrote a novel called Children of
Speaker 5: Blood and Bone, and there's an up Her name is
Speaker 5: Tommy or Tommy at a Yemmy, and she said the
Speaker 5: upcoming Paramount film adaptation of her book was quote the
Speaker 5: worst thing I ever had to live through.
Speaker 1: End quote.
Speaker 5: I never want to hear about this project again, end quote,
Speaker 5: in a five minute video posted by herself on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Damn.
Speaker 5: She co wrote the screenplay for the film, so she
Speaker 5: even has like her hand in the actual film. Had
Speaker 5: previously spoken out about how she wouldn't watch Children of
Speaker 5: the Blood and Bone movie based on her African fantasy
Speaker 5: novel after being on set it's production.
Speaker 1: This is the black one. Yeah, I've seen. I saw
Speaker 1: the book. I think this was a very successful book,
Speaker 1: and so I didn't know that they were making into
Speaker 1: a movie just yet.
Speaker 5: She said, she left the set of Children of Blood
Speaker 5: and Bone hyperventilating and sobbing, and she's still being antagonized
Speaker 5: behind the scenes. Representatives for at Amy Paramount and the
Speaker 5: director did not immediately respond to request for comment. When
Speaker 5: I'm about to share is not a secret to the
Speaker 5: people involved. It's a reality that I've had to live
Speaker 5: with for about a year and a half, and everyone involved,
Speaker 5: at least the highest level, has been made aware of
Speaker 5: this reality. They haven't done anything to make it better.
Speaker 5: If anything, they've only antagonized me.
Speaker 1: And I accept that. But I also accept that if
Speaker 1: I don't say something, I think it's just going to
Speaker 1: be worse. So what does she say? She doesn't like
Speaker 1: about the movie version of her book, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: the acting sucks, the story is ruined.
Speaker 5: It's weird because she's being a little dodgy, it seems,
Speaker 5: she goes I'm not going to speak on what I
Speaker 5: endured to make it through the young adult trilogy, and
Speaker 5: I'm not going to speak about everything that I also
Speaker 5: suffered through or endured to make the adaptation and reality.
Speaker 5: I'm actually only going to speak about what happened after
Speaker 5: I left that set of my own film adaptation hyper
Speaker 5: hypervitilating and sobbing. There are many witnesses, so it's not
Speaker 5: really a secret. I came back to America and suffered
Speaker 5: such severe somatic pain and so many panic attacks. I
Speaker 5: knew it was so bad that I would never ever
Speaker 5: be able to watch this film, and I made peace
Speaker 5: with that. This is the greatest review ever of your
Speaker 5: own movie. Can you imagine bringing her to set?
Speaker 1: Like, guys, everybody beyond point, the author of the original
Speaker 1: story is going to be on set today. She's going
Speaker 1: to be over the moon and you look back at
Speaker 1: she's crying. You're like, we've really she's affected.
Speaker 5: She's having a panic attack, Guys, I don't know how
Speaker 5: affected she is Damn's. Earlier this month, in a now
Speaker 5: deleted TikTok video, she posted what appeared to be a
Speaker 5: group chat that included Children of Blood and Bone actor
Speaker 5: Amandla Stenberg. She wrote, do not ever use my name
Speaker 5: in an interviewer video again, do not text me, do
Speaker 5: not call me. She is really breaking up with this
Speaker 5: entire production, and it is. It's pretty fascinating, but.
Speaker 1: I says she's attention seeing at this point, Well, there's
Speaker 1: only two possibilities. One she's unhinged and crazy as hell
Speaker 1: and impossible to please. Or two the movies as bad
Speaker 1: as she's saying it is, which will be amazing if
Speaker 1: it was. I mean, the curiosity is strong there. I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what's wrong with the movie, but I
Speaker 1: didn't want to watch it before and now I'm kind
Speaker 1: of yeah, maybe I have nothing else going on that day.
Speaker 5: There is a I typically like reserve myself to use
Speaker 5: the term porn star because I feel like it's overused.
Speaker 5: But I did look this girl up and she is
Speaker 5: very highly awarded for her porn career.
Speaker 1: What a diligent work person, this guy. I looked up
Speaker 1: her Wikipedia. That was it.
Speaker 5: There was and I didn't see any pink parts yet,
Speaker 5: I don't believe. But Emily Willis has gotten a massive settlement. Now,
Speaker 5: these porn stars, you think they make a lot of money.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think in twenty twenty six, no, But I
Speaker 1: I'm very disconnected.
Speaker 5: A lot of money is spent in the industry. There's
Speaker 5: multiple award shows that you know, kind of recognize people's
Speaker 5: work in the adult film industry, stuff like that, and
Speaker 5: this Emily Willis has won a bunch of different awards.
Speaker 5: One of them was called Awesome Analyst. So, I mean,
Speaker 5: you know, good for her. She must have done a
Speaker 5: really good job. She's won a couple awards that are
Speaker 5: related to that'sarticular table. Well, you just keep working at it, buddy.
Speaker 5: But she had like this really bad experience in a
Speaker 5: rehab center and she her family, her and her family
Speaker 5: have been awarded a gigantic settlement for suing this place.
Speaker 5: Emily Wi Willi's family has reached a massive settlement with
Speaker 5: the Malibu rehab facility where she suffered catastrophic brain damage
Speaker 5: that she's slowly recovering from. So what happened was she
Speaker 5: was going to this treatment center for ketamine addiction, okay,
Speaker 5: and at some point at the treatment center she had
Speaker 5: she went into cardiac arrest and I guess they did
Speaker 5: not like respond quick enough or something, and she had
Speaker 5: like thirty to forty minutes without oxygen and it really
Speaker 5: scrambled her brain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that I think that's enough to just do it,
Speaker 1: it says.
Speaker 5: Emily was one of the adult industry's biggest stars in
Speaker 5: one Performer of the Year at the twenty twenty one
Speaker 5: av Ords. She later transitioned into mainstream acting appearing in
Speaker 5: the sci fi film Divinity. But right now, after more
Speaker 5: than ten surgeries, she's in Mexico working with top tier
Speaker 5: therapists and the family's hoping to travel to Spain so
Speaker 5: she can undergo new neurological brain related procedures, trying to
Speaker 5: stimulate the systems that control speech, communication and movement. Right now,
Speaker 5: she can only communicate with her eyes and by shaking
Speaker 5: her head, and she they say she understands about eighty
Speaker 5: percent of what's going on. But they reached the settlement
Speaker 5: with that rehab facility for three million dollars. The defendants
Speaker 5: denied wrongdoing, did not admit liability. So my question is
Speaker 5: you get better, Like there's no way she goes back in.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think if you're without oxygen for that long,
Speaker 1: I thought it was just over. I thought there was
Speaker 1: no chance that you would be able to even be
Speaker 1: a functioning human being, that it literal would.
Speaker 5: Be a miracle if she was. It looks like they're
Speaker 5: trying to exercise all their options. I mean, go taking
Speaker 5: her to Spain for a new neuralife logical brain procedure.
Speaker 5: They're really trying, and I mean probably gonna spend every
Speaker 5: penny of that three million dollars, trying to get her
Speaker 5: to a more communicative state. BTS, the Korean pop group
Speaker 5: Big Fan Sean Love Them Yes, They have announced that
Speaker 5: they will not be submitting their music for consideration at
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty seven Grammy Awards. They're a little bit
Speaker 5: upset at some of the rules about this new category
Speaker 5: they have at the Grammies. You see, the band were
Speaker 5: widely expected to be in competition for some of the
Speaker 5: biggest categories at the Grammys, including Albums of the Year,
Speaker 5: after their comeback record ararang Ari Rang became one of
Speaker 5: the year's biggest sellers. However, they're not eligible for the
Speaker 5: new Best Asian Pop Music Performance Prize, which was announced
Speaker 5: last month. You would think they would be ringers for it,
Speaker 5: dead ringers for it. BTS biggest K pop band there
Speaker 5: is and under Grammy rules, songs nominated for the category
Speaker 5: Musk and Meaningful Use of an Asian Language and more
Speaker 5: than eighty percent of the lyrics on their comeback record
Speaker 5: are sung in English, so they're literally being told. BTS
Speaker 5: is being told by the Grammys that their comeback record
Speaker 5: is not Asian enough for the Asian Pop Music Performance Prize.
Speaker 5: The introduction of the new award met with mixed reception
Speaker 5: and the K pop spaces online many fans complain, instead
Speaker 5: of celebrating Asian armists, the Gray, the Grammys are pigeonholing them.
Speaker 5: And speaking of speaking of, you know, just music in
Speaker 5: general and artists, boy George really wants to piss off
Speaker 5: a large swath of people.
Speaker 1: And I think he's He's picked.
Speaker 5: Two lanes simultaneously, simultaneously, two lanes that will do just that.
Speaker 5: What's the first thing you think a musician can do
Speaker 5: that was gonna piss Yes, a very very expensive concert tickets. No, No,
Speaker 5: I mean that's that's all people if they love them enough. Politics,
Speaker 5: that's a big one, yes, sort of one of the lanes.
Speaker 5: But what's the other one? To teaz, we do it
Speaker 5: all the time in.
Speaker 1: Music, in music, oh Ai ai ai.
Speaker 5: So Boy George has admitted that not only has he
Speaker 5: used AI to make a new song, but he made
Speaker 5: a used AI to help write his new pro Israel
Speaker 5: reggae song called We Will Dance Again.
Speaker 1: That sounds so fake, so hold on, boy George has
Speaker 1: used artificial intelligence to write his new pro Israel reggae song,
Speaker 1: Right so.
Speaker 5: Right, on the one hand, they're like the artist community
Speaker 5: is like you should be ashamed of yourself for using AI.
Speaker 5: And then there's the other hand where the this This
Speaker 5: person on x formerly Twitter says, I can't I honestly
Speaker 5: can't believe that my old friend boy George has made
Speaker 5: an overtly pro genocide, anti Palestinian piece of musical propaganda.
Speaker 1: George, you should be ashamed. I hope you think the
Speaker 1: money was enough to sell your boy.
Speaker 5: George just really trying to burn down all the bridges
Speaker 5: with his AI pro Israel song. So good luck to
Speaker 5: him and laughing not least, congratulations.

Speaker 1: in Sea Lane's voice, and we have more of those.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much I want to work these in.
Speaker 1: I worry that Sea Lane is going to want his
Speaker 1: name removed from this before the end of the show.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's, there's Yours is the most used so far.
Speaker 1: I think I can check the stats on it, but
Speaker 1: I think it might be the most used anyhow. Quick
Speaker 1: note right now, this is when we normally do Fritz
Speaker 1: on the Street on Thursdays. At this time, we normally
Speaker 1: do Fritz on the Street. But Fritz has had some stuff,
Speaker 1: some emergency stuff that he's had to deal with, so
Speaker 1: he's not he's gone. He's nowhere around here, out of
Speaker 1: town with an emergency that he's is handling on his side.
Speaker 1: So as far as i'm I know, that should be
Speaker 1: back on schedule next week. But yeah, yeah, yeah, So
Speaker 1: I don't want to say much more about it than that,
Speaker 1: but he's going through a bit of a tough time
Speaker 1: at the moment, and he should be back on track
Speaker 1: with Trivia and with Fritz on the Street and all
Speaker 1: of that good stuff next week. So thinking about Fritz
Speaker 1: as as he's out today. All right, let's see what
Speaker 1: do we have for you.
Speaker 9: Oh.
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you this because I think this
Speaker 1: number is actually even higher. But there was an article
Speaker 1: that was starting to get attention that suggested that sixty
Speaker 1: six percent of young workers this is why you're getting
Speaker 1: fired everywhere, young workers. So why the average worker in
Speaker 1: the marketplace in the United States of America and our
Speaker 1: economy is getting older and older and older. Sixty six
Speaker 1: percent of young workers say they pretend to be productive
Speaker 1: at work for at least portion of their day. Now,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something very quickly. When you look at
Speaker 1: that and scoff, I don't think this is just young people.
Speaker 1: I think everybody with a desk job does a whole
Speaker 1: lot of pretending. I think that everybody with a desk
Speaker 1: job has some portion of the day where they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, typing away on the keyboard, just getting the
Speaker 1: job done.
Speaker 5: Over here, they literally sell things on Amazon that you
Speaker 5: can buy, yeah, that move your mouse for you so
Speaker 5: that you if your company employs some sort of like timer,
Speaker 5: that's like if the mouse goes idle for too long,
Speaker 5: we know you're not working. They sell things you could
Speaker 5: like like a mouse pad or something you could put
Speaker 5: under it that moves the cursor around.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. You can you can buy your way into
Speaker 1: this kind of laziness. That's because most people do this,
Speaker 1: and honestly, because most jobs require it. Right, Like this job,
Speaker 1: I have to do a lot of stuff. You probably
Speaker 1: don't think it's a lot of work, and that's fine,
Speaker 1: but I have to constantly keep going. I don't really
Speaker 1: get much of a break on anything. I've always viewed
Speaker 1: it as this scene and I love Lucy for you boomers,
Speaker 1: where she's working at the chocolate factory. That's what doing
Speaker 1: this show is like. Right. The chocolates just keep coming
Speaker 1: down the thing, and you're trying to work through them
Speaker 1: as fast as you can, but there's no end in sight,
Speaker 1: and you just got to keep going, keep going, like
Speaker 1: a madman or a mad woman in her case. And
Speaker 1: in her case, Lucy just couldn't keep up with the
Speaker 1: chocolates on the little conveyor belt at her job, and
Speaker 1: all hell broke loose. We gotta work triple time over
Speaker 1: here to keep the wheels rolling around and keep that going.
Speaker 1: So I can't really I'm faking working over here. But
Speaker 1: if I worked in some office at a cubicle or something,
Speaker 1: you can really get all your work done in a
Speaker 1: fourth of the day. This is how it works. I've
Speaker 1: had a job like that before. You could get all
Speaker 1: your work done and like a fourth of the day.
Speaker 1: And then there's other jobs like the water delivery job
Speaker 1: that I talk about that I had that was different
Speaker 1: because you had X number of deliveries you had to
Speaker 1: do every day. And let's say, and this happened from
Speaker 1: time to time. Sorry, Danny, if you're still out there, Danny,
Speaker 1: my former boss at the water company, Sorry if you're
Speaker 1: still out there. For more reasons than you might imagine.
Speaker 1: But every once in a while, I was in my
Speaker 1: early twenties at the time when I was doing that
Speaker 1: water delivery job, the big like five gallon you know,
Speaker 1: things of water to offices in people's houses. I would
Speaker 1: have gotten way too drunk the night before, and so
Speaker 1: I would go to work, load up the truck with
Speaker 1: all of my water deliveries for that day, and I
Speaker 1: would drive back to my house and go to sleep
Speaker 1: for two hours. Nice it would completely out.
Speaker 5: You've told that one before. I don't know that that
Speaker 5: one's a news story, but it's still a fun.
Speaker 1: I would go to sleep for like two hours, and
Speaker 1: then when I woke up, I'd be huh oh, and
Speaker 1: then either be calls I go just out here getting
Speaker 1: the job done, boss, and I would get everything done,
Speaker 1: and sometimes I'd have to work later than I imagine.
Speaker 1: But they said sixty six percent of young workers are
Speaker 1: pretending to be productive at work. I refuse to believe
Speaker 1: that the olda's aren't doing the same thing. I think
Speaker 1: that they are. I think the old people are in
Speaker 1: their cubicles or wherever they are, and I think they're
Speaker 1: doing the same exact thing. But let us know if
Speaker 1: you've seen that as well. I do it at home,
Speaker 1: why not?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do it. I do it at home.
Speaker 5: I you know, our normal kind of day to day
Speaker 5: when Ashley's working and I get home and I'm I'm
Speaker 5: playing around with the kid, but there's probably a handful
Speaker 5: of things I need to do, dishes, clean up stuff,
Speaker 5: cook dinner, and I save that until I get the
Speaker 5: notification that she's in the car headed towards the house.
Speaker 5: And I was like, all right, let's crack the nuts
Speaker 5: and get all this stuff done really fast.
Speaker 1: She doesn't know, the difference doesn't matter if it's done right.
Speaker 1: If the work gets done, it's fine. Your only question
Speaker 1: should be is this person doing a good job? And
Speaker 1: do I feel like their workload and everything the quality
Speaker 1: of their work is good. That's the only thing you
Speaker 1: should ever question. If your answer to that is no,
Speaker 1: then you know you know what you need to do basically, right.
Speaker 1: That's that's as simple as it could possibly be. But
Speaker 1: if you hire somebody and they here's the workload you want,
Speaker 1: and they get it all done up to the quality
Speaker 1: you want in a quarter of the time, why would
Speaker 1: you ever care. They're just being more efficient than you
Speaker 1: imagine they would be. All right, a couple of quick
Speaker 1: things in the tech world. Help me figure out what
Speaker 1: this is. It's popping off right now online. It's a
Speaker 1: piece of technology that's going pretty viral right now all over.
Speaker 1: It's called Orchid, and we have to figure out exactly
Speaker 1: what this does. You Like, here's the commercial? All right?
Speaker 1: This is a woman and I guess this is her
Speaker 1: struggling with her husband because it's their annivers RENI forgets
Speaker 1: big day.
Speaker 4: It's huge.
Speaker 1: Keep going, I got you, I got you, I got you.
Speaker 1: Send us send it doesn't even know bigg so he
Speaker 1: doesn't know what's going on. The husband he's playing video
Speaker 1: games with his friends, and she's like, it's a big day.
Speaker 1: Do you even know? And then this is Orchid, right,
Speaker 1: this is the technology that's come across the screen here orchids.
Speaker 1: So he forgot. She's texting whatever, Orchid is nothing, you forgot.
Speaker 17: And you're just called about it.
Speaker 1: I've got to cover. This is Sam we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I got it all right. So she sends
Speaker 1: a text message to whatever this technology is. People are saying,
Speaker 1: if this ever comes out, it's over. If this comes out,
Speaker 1: if this technology is released, just shoot me already. I
Speaker 1: still don't know what it is. I wanted to wait
Speaker 1: to see what was going on. Here is the guy
Speaker 1: now that wasn't remember his remembering his anniversary cereal? Time
Speaker 1: grab some cereal out of the cabinet. So Orcid is
Speaker 1: texting him or it says, Sam, how's the cereal because
Speaker 1: it's your anniversary and you're eating cereal. I don't know
Speaker 1: how Orchid knows this is happening. I don't know how
Speaker 1: it knows he's in the refrigerator or eating cereal or whatever.
Speaker 1: But it's reminding him that it's his anniversary. Wait what
Speaker 1: he said, Yeah, it's the same date every year, Orkid,
Speaker 1: this is bad. I need your help fix everything please.
Speaker 1: And then it books a table at a restaurant. I
Speaker 1: guess it books flowers and takes care of all of
Speaker 1: this stuff for the anniversary. Oh and then she's able
Speaker 1: to talk to Orchid as well and know that the
Speaker 1: anniversary is still on. And then they've got like a
Speaker 1: reservation in and then flowers have been ordered. Or kid
Speaker 1: your your inbox manager, your date planner, your assistant, your
Speaker 1: everyday assistant on I Message. So it's like you can
Speaker 1: message this thing that gets all of the work done.
Speaker 1: But how would it know. It would have no idea
Speaker 1: that that somebody was in the refrigerator or the cameras. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like what, I don't I don't understand what the point
Speaker 1: of this would be. Twenty million views, It says the
Speaker 1: Assistant that Never sleeps Orchid dot AI is that where
Speaker 1: you're at right meat, Orchid your personal assistant. It's a
Speaker 1: personal assistant that helps you stay organized, find information, get
Speaker 1: things done all through messages. So you do something like
Speaker 1: text that you need a vacation and then it does
Speaker 1: all of the investigation for you. But then like if
Speaker 1: you're both in on it, you and your partner, and
Speaker 1: it books all of the stuff for your anniversary, and
Speaker 1: then it tells your wife that is doing that, like well,
Speaker 1: and she's checking in, like how's he doing?
Speaker 4: Is he?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're fixing this up. It's like there's a third
Speaker 1: person in this relationship.
Speaker 5: We're just playing a little game here where we pretend
Speaker 5: that this is, uh, you know, it's something he came
Speaker 5: up with on his own.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this says Orchid. Surprise me from day one. I
Speaker 1: run gas stations, and Orchid tracks fuel prices around every
Speaker 1: one of them. It texts me when a competitor moves
Speaker 1: so I can adjust the same day, not a week late.
Speaker 1: Orchid checks in on me every morning and hypes me
Speaker 1: up before big days, reminds me about vitamins, workouts, my
Speaker 1: mom's birthday, and never drops the ball. So I don't
Speaker 1: either that, like, doesn't your doesn't your calendar do these things?
Speaker 1: That's all I know. When it's somebody's birthday, for God's sake,
Speaker 1: I don't have Yeah, I just feel like I've already
Speaker 1: got this covered. But maybe it says automate your life
Speaker 1: using habits. Stay on top of it, man, never let
Speaker 1: anything slip through the cracks. It's going to be your
Speaker 1: second brain. Oh, there's one point seventy three nine milli
Speaker 1: million actions logged by the new assistance so far. I've
Speaker 1: not heard I've not heard of this. I don't think
Speaker 1: that I need this, but they're assuring you that this
Speaker 1: is going to change your life in some major way.
Speaker 1: There's one that does.
Speaker 5: There's one thing that's like, hey, heads up, your flight
Speaker 5: check in opens in an hour. Want me to grab
Speaker 5: your usual aisle seat, so it'll do that for you.
Speaker 5: I don't actually hate that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's kind of a good use case, now
Speaker 1: that I'm thinking about it. I because I always forget
Speaker 1: when we would do Southwest, we would have to do
Speaker 1: the early check in, and they had it like at
Speaker 1: this time it opened up and if you did it quickly,
Speaker 1: you would get a great seat, and if you didn't,
Speaker 1: you would get a terrible seat. So that one I
Speaker 1: would probably do. Actually, yeah, but the rest.
Speaker 4: Of it I don't need.
Speaker 5: It just seems like you know that I don't have
Speaker 5: a full list of what it can connect to, but
Speaker 5: it's like showing a preview of some of the different
Speaker 5: apps that it can interact with, you know, drop Box,
Speaker 5: your emails.
Speaker 1: I like that I could do that, but otherwise you
Speaker 1: haven't sold me yet Orchid. We'll see if you've used this,
Speaker 1: if you've heard of this, it's kind of popping off
Speaker 1: right now. Let us know your experience and a dispatcher
Speaker 1: an email over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Okay, Lewis emails
Speaker 1: the show. Lewis says the tips at the news Junkie
Speaker 1: dot com one hundred percent of people slack off at work.
Speaker 1: I think you're right. It's not just the digital thing.
Speaker 1: Lewis says. I've had many jobs when I was younger,
Speaker 1: and there were jobs where, yes, we had to be
Speaker 1: there nine to five, but as long as we got
Speaker 1: the work done, all was good. I didn't know if
Speaker 1: it was because I was usually the youngest person at
Speaker 1: most jobs, but my mentality was, let's bust the workout
Speaker 1: quick and have basically three hours of doing whatever we wanted.
Speaker 1: When I worked at Target, every hour we had a
Speaker 1: certain number of tasks to do, and sometimes it was
Speaker 1: just one task, so I'd quickly go to do it
Speaker 1: and then find somewhere to nap until the next hour,
Speaker 1: sleeping in the target. In all all, oh, I think
Speaker 1: some jobs should be paid based on productivity versus hourly
Speaker 1: or daily or even salary. That's not a bad point.
Speaker 1: I mean, like when you talk about four day work week,
Speaker 1: three day work week, I think Lewis is onto something
Speaker 1: smarter and better here, and that is the work week.
Speaker 1: When they tell you the amount of work that needs
Speaker 1: done and the quality expectations of the work, and then
Speaker 1: when you do that, you're done. That's the job. That's
Speaker 1: the work life that I think people want. Say, here's
Speaker 1: what I expect out of you this week. When that
Speaker 1: stuff gets done, Whether you do it in five days
Speaker 1: or three days, it doesn't really matter to me. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me at all. Like that, to me
Speaker 1: would be better. A vendasaurus says, if you need a
Speaker 1: robot to remember you care about me, I don't want
Speaker 1: it ffs true. Speaking of robots, the FCC has just
Speaker 1: banned all robot vacuums made outside the United States of America.
Speaker 1: That means probably sea lanes, min roboocks, ecovacs, dream with
Speaker 1: an e Samsung. All foreign born robot vacuums have been
Speaker 1: banned by the FCC. All right, they are not allowing
Speaker 1: you to purchase these anymore. They're prohibited from receiving FCC
Speaker 1: equipment authorization, which is mandatory for most electronic devices imported
Speaker 1: or sold in the country. But the existing ones usually
Speaker 1: your grandfathered in for stuff like this. Yeah, they're not
Speaker 1: going to tell you you have to get rid of
Speaker 1: what you already have, but I think that they will
Speaker 1: stop the import of some of these new ones. So
Speaker 1: that's a big marketplace. I know on Amazon you put
Speaker 1: in robot vac and there's a ton of them, and
Speaker 1: I think most of them are not made in the
Speaker 1: United States. Sure, bdm x con says we've been invaded,
Speaker 1: been invaded by the COMMI rumbas. Maybe that's what they
Speaker 1: So they want you to think there's a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff like this that they're trying to crack down on, drones,
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. But let us know what you think.
Speaker 1: Perhaps you've got one of these, we'll see what you
Speaker 1: think about this. Set us a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com. Finally, listen mind one Okay, sorry Bouje. During
Speaker 1: that whole segment, I had a string coming out of
Speaker 1: my shirt and just kept pulling and pulling and pulling,
Speaker 1: and I could not get I finally got at the
Speaker 1: break off right at the end. Is there we go?
Speaker 1: It was meant to be thank you, thank you, thank
Speaker 1: you very much, thank you, thank you. Did it take
Speaker 1: me a while? Yes it did. It took me a
Speaker 1: while to get to the point that I got to,
Speaker 1: But I've fixed the issue. Send your emails not about that,
Speaker 1: but about everything else. Tips at the newsjunki dot com.
Speaker 1: We got an update on the WNBA scandal that's been
Speaker 1: going on. It gets a little more interesting. Jury duties
Speaker 1: on the way. Power Hour is coming up. We'll kick
Speaker 1: on the phone lines for Power Hour as well. Now
Speaker 1: Sean has a belly shirt. No, the sleeve did get shorter,
Speaker 1: though I pulled on it long enough, nor style. I
Speaker 1: think the sleeve did get a little shorter. My quick
Speaker 1: break back with that and so much more come up
Speaker 1: next than the News Junkie. I got two things popping
Speaker 1: up on the show that I never thought we'd be
Speaker 1: talking about today. Two things from well most people's childhoods
Speaker 1: I think that have popped back up, and we'll get
Speaker 1: into both of them. Strangely enough interesting stories. But the
Speaker 1: one thing I did see was Seattle is going through
Speaker 1: it right now. And there was something about the Seattle
Speaker 1: story that really caught me off guard. I said, hold on,
Speaker 1: is that that's a thing that could happen. The Seattle
Speaker 1: chief of police has been fired after this week because
Speaker 1: there was an event. It was some sort of like
Speaker 1: food festival or something Sea Lane right right there.
Speaker 5: It was a big food fest and there was some
Speaker 5: people that seem to be shooting at each other.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, then they wouldn't call it gang violence because
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe that looks bad or something. And
Speaker 1: they would say, yes, some groups groups of people who
Speaker 1: seem to have an animosity toward each other. And you're like,
Speaker 1: are you afraid to say gang? Say gang? I want
Speaker 1: you to say gang. The groups there are groups, the
Speaker 1: sharks and the Jets, and are okay? Fine? So at
Speaker 1: first they were saying, there's this shooting. A couple of
Speaker 1: people died. These absolute losers who do not know how
Speaker 1: to use their own weapons just indiscriminately shoot at each
Speaker 1: other instead of killing themselves. Would you be fine by me?
Speaker 1: I don't really mind that much. If all the gang
Speaker 1: members died. I think we'd all be better off, right,
Speaker 1: think it's a very hot take, but they just it
Speaker 1: would improve things for everybody else and these innocent people
Speaker 1: wouldn't die. But instead of that happening, these losers shot
Speaker 1: a bunch of other people. And then the investigation that
Speaker 1: was underway after that was starting to look into a
Speaker 1: lot of things. How could this happen, what went down,
Speaker 1: who's to blame, et cetera, et cetera. And the mayor
Speaker 1: has fired the chief of police. I said, well, why
Speaker 1: did the mayor fire the Seattle police chief? And one
Speaker 1: of the things that came up was the police chief
Speaker 1: in Seattle was not in town when this shooting happened.
Speaker 1: He wasn't able to address this tragedy happening in the
Speaker 1: city where he's the police chief because he was not
Speaker 1: in town. And they said where were you and he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I was at home. Well wait, hold on, we thought
Speaker 1: you were not here and he goes, no, I was home.
Speaker 1: I live in Chicago. What And I said, what, the
Speaker 1: chief of police in Seattle lives in Chicago. How often
Speaker 1: is he in Seattle? And he said, like not enough,
Speaker 1: I think was his claim. But the guy does not
Speaker 1: live in the city where he was the chief of police, Like,
Speaker 1: there's no other job in the world where you really
Speaker 1: need to be in that city, and the chief of
Speaker 1: police is a full time, twenty four to seven job. Really,
Speaker 1: he canceled an interview in the middle of it. He
Speaker 1: started to get angry about this, and he acknowledged that
Speaker 1: he wasn't in the city that much, and finally it
Speaker 1: got so bad that the mayor had to fire his
Speaker 1: ass because the chief of police is not exactly serving
Speaker 1: the people of a city when he's not there or
Speaker 1: even living there. For God's sake, I think this is
Speaker 1: one of the reports talking about how he didn't even
Speaker 1: live in the city where he was a police chief.
Speaker 15: The police chief, Sean Barnes acknowledges he has been out
Speaker 15: of the city nearly a dozen times during the course
Speaker 15: of the year, included this past weekend during a deadly
Speaker 15: shooting at Seattle Center.
Speaker 1: Good Evening, I'm Preston Phillips and I'm Molly Schen.
Speaker 6: The chief's office provided his schedule to Como News today
Speaker 6: after he abruptly canceled a scheduled interview. Come on seeing
Speaker 6: the reporter Chris Daniels was scheduled to sit down with
Speaker 6: Barnes to discuss the shooting and the chiefs whereabouts.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm all about people working remote if they can
Speaker 1: pull it off with their jobs, but chief of police
Speaker 1: is not the gig for the remote.
Speaker 5: It's weird because we did just have this discussion about
Speaker 5: if you can get the work done, you know, in
Speaker 5: a certain amount of time. Who cares what you do
Speaker 5: on your off time. I don't know, litigate things. If
Speaker 5: you're not in this city, you don't know. The chief
Speaker 5: of police is one of those jobs.
Speaker 1: Chief of police, you have to investigate, You have to
Speaker 1: be at the scene, you have to be like you know,
Speaker 1: make it sure all the people who are working for
Speaker 1: you are doing a proper job. Justice is served with more.
Speaker 18: Chris Balie, impressed in this crazy chief and his commitments.
Speaker 18: Being in Seattle at the time of the deadly shooting
Speaker 18: this morning, he agreed to an interview with me to
Speaker 18: discuss the shooting and his schedule this afternoon. He backed
Speaker 18: out of that planned interview in advance, and instead I
Speaker 18: was given his schedule, which appears to show Chief Barnes
Speaker 18: out of the office and out of the area nearly
Speaker 18: a dozen times in the first seven months of this year.
Speaker 1: Okay, a dozen times you got mad about this. You
Speaker 1: need to know this.
Speaker 18: The question has simmer there you live. Where is Seattle's
Speaker 18: police chief Sean Barr.
Speaker 12: Sometimes that passion is in full of display, especially if
Speaker 12: someone is questioning my work ethic or my integrity.
Speaker 1: Bro, I'm questioning your worth work ethic. You took twelve
Speaker 1: vacations so far this year. You're the chief of Please,
Speaker 1: I'm questioning your work ethic one hundred percent. I will
Speaker 1: just be on the record doing that. Nothing against you
Speaker 1: being in Chicago, or love in Chicago, or wanting to
Speaker 1: stay in Chicago. If you want that, you should go,
Speaker 1: and you should try to be the police chief in Chicago.
Speaker 1: That might sort this all out. But you can't live
Speaker 1: in Chicago and we it be the police chief in
Speaker 1: another city. Can you imagine if you find out that
Speaker 1: your police chief, the person in charge of law enforcement
Speaker 1: in your city, didn't actually live there and was constantly
Speaker 1: flying somewhere else and preoccupied with being in a totally
Speaker 1: different place. That's unacceptable.
Speaker 18: Asked on Tuesday, Barnes denied being a frequent traveler.
Speaker 12: Certainly I don't travel as often as I would like
Speaker 12: to wants I'm gone every weekend are grossly misstated.
Speaker 18: But now as pressure has mounted over the chiefs whereabouts
Speaker 18: on that fatal Sunday evening, his office provided documents to
Speaker 18: highlight his movements between the end of March and end
Speaker 18: of July that included trips to conferences in Detroit, Los Angeles,
Speaker 18: Las Vegas, Baltimore, Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: And Dallas. Oh my god, you don't like you don't
Speaker 1: get to travel as often as you would like.
Speaker 4: My man, I've only.
Speaker 1: Been to half of the cities in the United States
Speaker 1: of America this year. Holy cow, this is a disaster.
Speaker 1: So the mayor of Seattle she fires the police chief
Speaker 1: because none of this is looking good. And people in
Speaker 1: Seattle are like, hey, hold on, have we made some
Speaker 1: bad decisions on who we've put in charge of our city.
Speaker 1: I could look past all of the fentanyl zombies, and
Speaker 1: I could look past the deterioration of certain neighborhoods and
Speaker 1: areas and the hobo's taking over all over the place.
Speaker 1: But now, you know, I got to say, this looks
Speaker 1: quite bad. This does not look very good. That's what's
Speaker 1: happening in Seattle. And also just another little kicker for you. Apparently,
Speaker 1: the fifteen year old that they had in custody, they
Speaker 1: determined it wasn't his gun that fired the shots that
Speaker 1: shot these people, So they don't even know who did it.
Speaker 1: They don't even know who the shooter was. After a
Speaker 1: mass shooting in one of the more populated cities in
Speaker 1: the United States of America. What do you think, should
Speaker 1: you be able to work remotely if you're the chief
Speaker 1: of police or no? Give us your thoughts. Send a
Speaker 1: dispatch over at thenewschunkie dot com right now. All right,
Speaker 1: the other things I was talking about. It's been a
Speaker 1: long time since I've heard this name, but this is
Speaker 1: kind of interesting that this has popped up. Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: Thomas in the news to the actor. The actor who
Speaker 1: is unbelievably a year younger than me, Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
Speaker 1: He has reunited with some of his co stars from
Speaker 1: Home Improvement, which seems like a billion years ago, And
Speaker 1: when I saw the photo of them, I go, oh
Speaker 1: my god, this makes me feel so old. Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: Thomas is now forty four years old. Here's the kid
Speaker 1: who played his younger brother, who is like a goth
Speaker 1: for a little while and this is the mother from
Speaker 1: Home Improvement that are all together. Taran Noah, I think
Speaker 1: is the guy who played his brother Patricia Richardson. Correct
Speaker 1: is the mother who was in Home Improvement the show.
Speaker 1: And they're all I guess they like they connected with
Speaker 1: something for the first time. In a rare photo, they said,
Speaker 1: Taran Noah looks the most different. I think he does,
Speaker 1: doesn't he Like he's got hair down to the center
Speaker 1: of his chest, like curly hippie hair. He looks like
Speaker 1: a guy went to high school with Actually does he
Speaker 1: a little bit? Yeah? I would not have known if
Speaker 1: you said, Sean, this person, you know who they are.
Speaker 1: They're famous, but you have to tell me what they're from.
Speaker 1: I would not have been able to figure out. It
Speaker 1: was the youngest brother on Home Improvement that I was
Speaker 1: looking at. They might take me a minute. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Who was the other one? The other one was the
Speaker 1: guy who's getting all duys. Wasn't he Zachary ty Bryan?
Speaker 8: He was?
Speaker 1: He the oldest brother.
Speaker 5: He's the one that's, uh, you might be in jail
Speaker 5: because he's had a couple incidents.
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody says he looks like Josh. He's actually a
Speaker 1: dead ringer for Josh. Yeah, it's a little better looking.
Speaker 5: Which is funny because if you took all the hair
Speaker 5: off Jonathan Taylor Thomas, he looks a little like Fritz.
Speaker 1: Yes, strangely enough, Yeah, we work both ways. But they
Speaker 1: got together for the first time in a very long time,
Speaker 1: reunited with the home improvement co stars.
Speaker 5: JTT can still get it. He was on the cover
Speaker 5: of all of those teen beat Me magazines. He was
Speaker 5: all over it.
Speaker 1: He seems like a nice guy. I don't know very
Speaker 1: well or know much about him, but he seems Okay.
Speaker 1: I'll put the photo of them reuniting so you can
Speaker 1: see what they look like now because it's been a
Speaker 1: while over on thenewsjunkie dot com and to See It
Speaker 1: Now section. And the other show that popped back out
Speaker 1: that I did not expect to be in the news
Speaker 1: was one of the stars from Everybody Loves Raymond is
Speaker 1: speaking No, No, not that guy. Everybody Loves Raymond is
Speaker 1: a show that some of you may remember from the nineties.
Speaker 1: It was super popular in its time, and the mother
Speaker 1: and Everybody Loves Raymond was Patricia Heaton. That was her name.
Speaker 1: Now she's not doing the acting things so much anymore.
Speaker 1: But I guess she is now backing calls to ban
Speaker 1: New York Mayor Zo Ron Mom Donnie from the nine
Speaker 1: to eleven anniversary in New York City. So of all
Speaker 1: the things, I didn't expect that name to be attached to.
Speaker 1: Tricia Heaton of Everybody Loves Raymond is saying that the
Speaker 1: mayor because of his statements. I guess because it was
Speaker 1: like his political takes Muslim or because he's a Muslim Man.
Speaker 1: You forgot, you said, you never forget. So, it says
Speaker 1: actress Patricia Heaton, who was in New York City during
Speaker 1: the nine to eleven terrorist attacks, joined families of the
Speaker 1: victims calling for Mayor Ziron Mamdani to be banned for
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth anniversary at Ground Zero. Everybody Loves Raymond
Speaker 1: Star sixty eight back the petition organized by the families
Speaker 1: of nine to eleven victims, which has amass forty five
Speaker 1: thousand signatures. Keep it going, New Yorkers, she said. The
Speaker 1: post included screenshot of a comment left on a petition
Speaker 1: by a family member who lost their brother in the attacks.
Speaker 1: It says, my brother David was murdered by terrorists on
Speaker 1: nine eleven at the World Trade Center. I am in
Speaker 1: sensed that a terrorist excuser is now mayor an outspoken
Speaker 1: sympathizer for terrorist perpetrators. He is disqualified from attending the
Speaker 1: nine eleven and remembrance ceremony and ought to be banned.
Speaker 1: So that's what they have to say about that. I
Speaker 1: don't know that Mom Donnie has made any comments about
Speaker 1: nine to eleven that I've seen that have been concerning
Speaker 1: I know that, you know, he's made comments that I've
Speaker 1: seen about like Hamas and some of those organizations. But
Speaker 1: his wife certainly seems a pretty radical person on that topic.
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure what the case is. Oh, let
Speaker 1: me click the petition. Where's that change dot org petition?
Speaker 1: Maybe that lays out the case of why they think
Speaker 1: that this shouldn't happen. Change dot org petition honoring the
Speaker 1: members of those who died on nine to eleven with dignity.
Speaker 1: They said they don't want Mom Donnie being attached to
Speaker 1: this twenty fifth anniversary. Okay, here we go. Concerns have
Speaker 1: been raised about mister bomb Donnie's public positions, associations, and
Speaker 1: responses to rhetoric that many perceive as hostile to shared values.
Speaker 1: That includes a perceived reluctance to clearly and unequivocally condemned
Speaker 1: phrases like globalized the into support for associations or individuals
Speaker 1: who public statements or records are viewed by concerned family
Speaker 1: members as dismissive of American institutions or insufficiently critical of extremists.
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie's own father, who he has acknowledged as having
Speaker 1: shaped his views, penned book shortly after nine to eleven
Speaker 1: in which he argued the suicide bombers should be understood
Speaker 1: as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized
Speaker 1: as a mark of barbarism. He's praised a Brooklyn emam
Speaker 1: who was linked to radical Islam. He's blamed the United
Speaker 1: States for radicalizing one of the nine to eleven hijackers,
Speaker 1: and then it goes on to this a couple of things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but mister mom Donnie recently stood with a DSA primary winner.
Speaker 1: This is that chevalier woman I see people talking about,
Speaker 1: who seems pretty extremist, who once tweeted I forgot my napkins,
Speaker 1: So I just wiped my hand on the American flag
Speaker 1: behind me at one point in time. So that's what
Speaker 1: they're saying about the mayor of New York and they
Speaker 1: said he shouldn't be involved in the nine to eleven sarahmon,
Speaker 1: I think he wants to take part in it though,
Speaker 1: which that seems like it isn't that a statement in
Speaker 1: and of itself that he wants to take a part
Speaker 1: of it. You would hope that he did want to
Speaker 1: take part. Yeah, yeah, like it seems like he wants
Speaker 1: like there's certain stuff that he doesn't want to be
Speaker 1: a part of. I know they had their traditional Jewish
Speaker 1: parade or whatever that they do in New York and
Speaker 1: he did not take part in that, as has been
Speaker 1: the case with mayors for a very very long time.
Speaker 1: But that's what they're saying on this. Patricia Heaton of
Speaker 1: Everybody Loves Raymond chiming in, give us your thoughts. Send
Speaker 1: a dispatch over at the news junky dot com right now,
Speaker 1: running a little bit behind. When we come back, Jury
Speaker 1: Duties on the way, then the Power Hour kicks off.
Speaker 1: It's all coming up next on the News Chunky, All,
Speaker 1: my hottest patrol is your heating ticks. Yeah it's not me,
Speaker 1: it's not my fault. Well, actually it absolutely is my fault.
Speaker 1: But we'll see, we'll see if we can get some
Speaker 1: of your feedback. In regardless, some of you are sending
Speaker 1: over some thoughts on that police chief. It was in
Speaker 1: Seattle that the police chief was booted from his job
Speaker 1: from the mayor because he didn't actually live in the city,
Speaker 1: wasn't spending time in the city. Here's Herbie talking about that.
Speaker 1: Let's see, Hey, what up news junkie. Then we'll get
Speaker 1: into jail Seattle.
Speaker 16: Back in twenty twenty three, we were going on a
Speaker 16: lasking cruise, so we weren't really spending a whole lot
Speaker 16: of time in Seattle. I stopped in at a CBS
Speaker 16: and I was wearing my University of Central Florida stuff
Speaker 16: because I'm a you know, I'm a knight, all right,
Speaker 16: and the lady noticed that I was from Central Florida.
Speaker 1: There that was ringing me up.
Speaker 16: She boasted about how great the crime rate was and
Speaker 16: how low it was in Seattle, which is one thing
Speaker 16: that if you go on any of their guided tours,
Speaker 16: they talked about a lot and uh.
Speaker 1: Their guided this is part of the tour experience that
Speaker 1: can't be supported by the city.
Speaker 5: Over Here, there's the space needle, which actually is a
Speaker 5: giant needle that points into space, and at the base
Speaker 5: of that needle beautiful Seattle with very low crime rates.
Speaker 1: Speaking of needles, there's no needles all over the streets
Speaker 1: from the drug add a.
Speaker 16: Low crime rate like ours in Florida where you live,
Speaker 16: And I said, no, probably not, but uh, I haven't
Speaker 16: been to a CBS in Florida with an armed guard
Speaker 16: sitting there make sure that no one steals anything.
Speaker 4: So I guess you got to take the good with
Speaker 4: the bad.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't know enough about it, herbie, because
Speaker 1: sometimes there'll be people who go, our crime rate is
Speaker 1: so low, and you go, yes, you can really juke
Speaker 1: the numbers if you stop prosecuting people for crimes, and
Speaker 1: then your crime rate drops, and then people are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but there's absolute degeneracy average and there's a disaster in
Speaker 1: the streets. So we're like pretending like the crimes aren't happening,
Speaker 1: we're just not prosecuting them. So I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're up to. I'm not sure. I'll look into that
Speaker 1: a little bit and get back to you. Right now,
Speaker 1: let's do jury duty or it is now in session,
Speaker 1: so put your phone.
Speaker 18: Down and pay attention before we call the bailiff over
Speaker 18: to whip your ass.
Speaker 4: You're knowing jury.
Speaker 1: Duty with the news junkie, which he says the amount
Speaker 1: of Florida man comments we got out west was stupid.
Speaker 1: That's just how it is. I think like Florida, like
Speaker 1: literally has that kind of rep with a lot of
Speaker 1: other people from states people haven't been here, most notably,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of how it is when you go
Speaker 1: to bigger cities too. The look down on the Southeastern
Speaker 1: United States like crazy, which is why I think the
Speaker 1: best thing for everybody is traveling around. So you might think, like, oh,
Speaker 1: here's my view of what Mississippi is like, or Alabama
Speaker 1: is like, or South Carolina is like. People look down
Speaker 1: on those dates. One hundred percent Louisiana, they'll look down.
Speaker 1: I think New Yorkers you think, like in New York City,
Speaker 1: I mean particular. You think people in the Bay Area
Speaker 1: don't look down on somebody. Oh yeah, of course they
Speaker 1: do until they go there and they're like, oh okay,
Speaker 1: this was not what I was thinking. Literally, what happened
Speaker 1: with the World Cup was people from all over the
Speaker 1: world experiencing that same phenomenon. Jerry Duty brought to you
Speaker 1: by motive it of the DeWit law from injured on
Speaker 1: the go.
Speaker 15: Just call MO.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred Call MO is the number after an accident.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred call MO. There was a raid in Dallas,
Speaker 1: Texas that what they say was a modern day brothel,
Speaker 1: like they actually found a brothel. Let me see if
Speaker 1: I can bring this up. It was at an adult
Speaker 1: bookstore and there the whole thing is kind of been
Speaker 1: blown wide open. I want to is this the story
Speaker 1: on this? I don't know if this is it or not.
Speaker 1: Let me see is this the same story?
Speaker 15: Federal authorities now announcing the indictments of eight people, calling
Speaker 15: it one of their biggest human trafficking cases they've ever worked,
Speaker 15: and it involves thousands of potential victims at an adult bookstore.
Speaker 1: To bring us up to speed, officials.
Speaker 10: Say this adult bookstore has served as a front for
Speaker 10: one of the longest running sex trafficking operations in North Texas.
Speaker 10: Investigators has spent more than three years working to uncover
Speaker 10: this and arrest those people behind this operation.
Speaker 17: My God, For more than two decades, the Paris Bookstore
Speaker 17: in Dallas allegedly operated under the guise of the legitimate
Speaker 17: business well functioning is an illicit brothel.
Speaker 10: Eight people involved with operations at the Paris adult bookstore
Speaker 10: have been charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.
Speaker 1: Wow. So they said there was a guy named Trey
Speaker 1: or Unk who was arrested, a woman named Mama that's
Speaker 1: not a chop him that chopped Dunk, Treylan Love Mason
Speaker 1: also known as New New Aaron Bedford, Larry Jones, known
Speaker 1: as Big Guy, Crescenda DAWs, Reginald Rose, A bunch of
Speaker 1: people arrested, and they said that they were operating an
Speaker 1: illicit brothel at this adult bookstore for two decades. They
Speaker 1: said the police thing had been going on for over
Speaker 1: two years. For two years, the cops have been like
Speaker 1: investigating and infiltrating and I don't know how far they
Speaker 1: were going with it, but they were, you know, they
Speaker 1: were doing things in the process of trying to take
Speaker 1: down this brothel at an adult bookstore in Texas. And
Speaker 1: that pall it. Don't you're not surprised. Did you see
Speaker 1: the side of it. I don't know if I can
Speaker 1: see anymore. Okay, it says Paris Adult Video and then
Speaker 1: it says sales Vapor and arcade. Sure is trying to
Speaker 1: be the adult arcade games. That could be a thing.
Speaker 1: It says, we have it all on the side of
Speaker 1: the place, so now you know, and then really quickly
Speaker 1: a story out today about something we've been following. Flock
Speaker 1: surveillance cameras can pose a crash risk for drivers. Experts
Speaker 1: are now saying they have been pillaried for facilitating the
Speaker 1: AI powered surveillance of private citizens for targeting immigrants for years,
Speaker 1: but now safety advocates are also claiming that their physical
Speaker 1: location had those potential roadside hazards. How they said, at
Speaker 1: the bottom of a tree lined a hill on a
Speaker 1: narrow two lane road in Ohio, it's a black metal
Speaker 1: rod with a camera and a solar panel. The camera
Speaker 1: in alpr is owned by Flock Safety and is painting black,
Speaker 1: making it difficult to see. The dark color is not
Speaker 1: the only thing that makes it a potential hard There's
Speaker 1: no breakaway plate, a safety feature close to the ground
Speaker 1: in case a vehicle snaps into it, so then there's
Speaker 1: no obvious stickers. So they're saying like the camera could
Speaker 1: get in the way of the driver's siteline and that
Speaker 1: could make it a danger and a crash risk. It's
Speaker 1: sounding more like they're saying it's not safe enough if
Speaker 1: you hit it, if you plow into the pole. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do they want? They want the pole to bounce
Speaker 1: around like a big spring or something.
Speaker 5: I would have to to to look more into this
Speaker 5: story to see what they're exactly trying to say here.
Speaker 5: But the breakaway plate, it has no breakaway plate. It's
Speaker 5: a danger if you run into one of the flock
Speaker 5: camera polls. Look name, if you run into it can
Speaker 5: be dangerous. Yeah, there's a thing is not running into stuff.
Speaker 1: There's enough to be upset about with flock cameras that
Speaker 1: you don't have to invent new problems in that world.
Speaker 1: You know, have to be like well, also if you
Speaker 1: crash into them in your car. I don't know that
Speaker 1: that's legitimate, but maybe you think so.
Speaker 5: Because the people who are opponents of flock cameras are
Speaker 5: trying to list everything that they hate about them, and
Speaker 5: there's too many people going, yeah, I'm fine with that though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm fine with that. They're trying everything. Now, all right,
Speaker 1: quick break. When we come back, we'll get to a
Speaker 1: crazy moment on a game show that we have to
Speaker 1: talk about, and we'll obviously get the power hour kicked off.
Speaker 1: We got more about that WNBA controversy. So much to
Speaker 1: talk about in an hour left to do it, So
Speaker 1: let's click into the Power Hour that's coming up next.
Speaker 1: In the news junk key and your your TTS submission
Speaker 1: so far, i upgraded the TTS system and I've got
Speaker 1: to make a few changes here because many of you
Speaker 1: are dropping the ball. I've given the ability to do
Speaker 1: some pretty cool stuff. How are people dropping the ball?
Speaker 1: They're not. I don't think they're getting creative enough yet.
Speaker 5: Is there not enough content for you that would make
Speaker 5: me want to take my name out of contention.
Speaker 1: No, most of it's focused on me. They're trying to
Speaker 1: make me like like a Mexican gunman or something. I
Speaker 1: here's one of the examples. This is Obi Wan Kanola Amigos,
Speaker 1: a news junkie out I stem Bibo and Mexico and wow,
Speaker 1: that is better Spanish than even speak. It is as
Speaker 1: you could use our voices in textas speech, you could
Speaker 1: use sound effects and everything. I've just built this out
Speaker 1: and I'm going to add more to it. But that's
Speaker 1: what most of them are. Yeah, here's another one, just
Speaker 1: to name is Sean Watson. I will block any peacock.
Speaker 1: I've given you too much power from walking into you.
Speaker 1: I'm a hero. Why did you? Oh go, there you go?
Speaker 1: Why did you think you needed the sound effects? Because
Speaker 1: I like the sound effects. The sound effects are what
Speaker 1: make it brilliant. That's the next level thing. So people
Speaker 1: could be creative and make their feedback next level. But
Speaker 1: some of them haven't really hit the home runs I'm
Speaker 1: looking for just yet. Give it time, give it a
Speaker 1: little time and all we'll be sorted out very very quickly.
Speaker 1: Oh shoot, I almost forgot. Let's do this, Let's do
Speaker 1: the Power Hour.
Speaker 19: They said it couldn't be done. Then they said, oh yes,
Speaker 19: I am Missy. I am the sucker player. Everybody loves me.
Speaker 19: World comes time for the Power on the news Chunky.
Speaker 4: Is that him?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, wow was unbelievable. Big moment on the show.
Speaker 1: I did want to share with you. Do you see
Speaker 1: that Ben Affleck won the Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
Speaker 1: Grand Prize? Ben Affleck like celebrity who wants to be
Speaker 1: a Manaire?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want, which they always say like for charity.
Speaker 1: It would be absolutely baller if he won Who Wants
Speaker 1: to be a Millionaire? And then it wasn't for a
Speaker 1: charity at all, and he just just won the regular
Speaker 1: one to show how unbelievably smart he was.
Speaker 5: So funny because they do this celebrity Jeopardy a bunch,
Speaker 5: and some of these people are pretty decent celebrities that
Speaker 5: would not need the money, and then some of them,
Speaker 5: I'm like, I bet that person could use the.
Speaker 1: Cash here, you know, if it's a celebrity who's not
Speaker 1: just mega mega successful, yeah, sometimes you're like, they might
Speaker 1: need that money. But Ben Affleck, who is a smart guy.
Speaker 1: If you've ever heard any interviews, sit down interviews with
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon where they could just talk extemporaneously,
Speaker 1: I've heard them on Joe Rogan one time. It's one
Speaker 1: of the few episodes of Joe Rogan that I've actually
Speaker 1: listened to through and through. I heard the Trump one
Speaker 1: two and a couple others, but I heard the Ben
Speaker 1: Affleck and Matt Damon one. Those guys are very bright guys.
Speaker 1: They're very very smart. They know more about the entertainment
Speaker 1: industry than almost anybody else out there, and they're just
Speaker 1: overall just kind of sharp guys. And so another really
Speaker 1: surprised me that ben Affleck won the million dollar prize
Speaker 1: on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? And they said
Speaker 1: the five hundred thousand dollars question was what achievement occurred
Speaker 1: just two months after a New York Times article said
Speaker 1: it wouldn't happen for a million to ten million years.
Speaker 1: The answers were the first airplane flight, splitting the atom,
Speaker 1: cloning a mammal, in the polio vaccine.
Speaker 4: Do you know what that was?
Speaker 1: Hold on, say again, achievement? What achievement occurred just two
Speaker 1: months after a New York Times article said it wouldn't
Speaker 1: happen for a million to ten million years. All right,
Speaker 1: that was the question. What occurred two months after the
Speaker 1: New York Times article said it wouldn't happen for a
Speaker 1: million to ten million years? Was it the first airplane flight,
Speaker 1: splitting the atom, cloning a mammal, or the polio vaccine?
Speaker 1: Can I get a fifty to fifty Yes, I'm going
Speaker 1: to leave you with the first airplane flight or the
Speaker 1: polio vaccine first airplane flight. That's correct. They said he
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. Everybody, Well look at him, go and
Speaker 1: you got it right, just like ben Affleck did. He
Speaker 1: ended up getting the final question right and got a
Speaker 1: million dollars for the charity of his choice. That was
Speaker 1: the final question. I don't even have the final one
Speaker 1: in front of it. Only gave you the five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars question. Yeah, this one says this one only says
Speaker 1: the one before it. Find that one so you can.
Speaker 1: You could toss it over. But I had to bring
Speaker 1: this up because this is one of my favorite moments
Speaker 1: like this on any of these shows ever. And I
Speaker 1: don't wish this upon anybody. And sometimes you get caught
Speaker 1: up in the fact that you're on a game show.
Speaker 1: I think that's what happened to this guy. But this
Speaker 1: is probably top ten game show clips ever. This guy
Speaker 1: was on Which show is this? Hang on to see? Oh,
Speaker 1: same show, the same show this was Who wants to
Speaker 1: be a Millionaire? And the question is In his epic poems,
Speaker 1: Homer often refers to nectar as the drink of the
Speaker 1: gods and what other substances their food.
Speaker 16: Homer often refers to nectar as the drink of the
Speaker 16: gods and which other substance as their food?
Speaker 4: Okay, I know we like donuts. Donuts, please, man.
Speaker 1: Okay, he said donuts. Homer is such a great misson.
Speaker 1: He said, they're talking about Homer obviously, which is you
Speaker 1: know of note now? But the guy gets the question.
Speaker 1: In his epic poems, Homer often refers to nectar as
Speaker 1: the drink of the gods, in which other substance as
Speaker 1: their foods? And the problem is he looks so almost
Speaker 1: smug when he's answering this. He's like, you know, I'm drink.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 4: And which other substance as that food? I know he
Speaker 4: likes donuts. I think I'm going.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he did not get that right. Just in case
Speaker 5: you were wondering that did not work out for him.
Speaker 5: Could he not read the face of the presenter.
Speaker 1: He did.
Speaker 5: Rather, the presenter was like the guy the host of
Speaker 5: this show looks dumbfounded that he was getting the wrong Homer.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I would have looked at him and said, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: hold on, I need a backpedal here. He did kind
Speaker 1: of give him a signal with his face like Yep,
Speaker 1: this is not good. You need to back off of this,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 5: So million dollar question for Ben Affleck And and he
Speaker 5: also he played alongside somebody else. There was somebody else
Speaker 5: with him named Ding Okay, which Ding his last name
Speaker 5: was Ding. I'm trying Jamie Ding. There, Ben Affleck and
Speaker 5: Jeopardy champion Jamie Ding. So they they like matched up
Speaker 5: the celebrities with some actually like really smart people.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, so they gave him a ringer.
Speaker 1: They gave the celebrities a ringer because it was for charity,
Speaker 1: and then this is a guy, Jamie Ding. Ok.
Speaker 5: The first airplane question was the five hundred thousand dollars question,
Speaker 5: after which they advanced to a million dollar question, which read,
Speaker 5: in an annual Thanksgiving tradition, all but which of these
Speaker 5: have been the names of turkeys pardoned by a US president?
Speaker 5: Your choices? I'm gonna get this peanut, butter and jelly. Yeah,
Speaker 5: tater and todt, mac and cheese, or spaghetti and meatball.
Speaker 5: There was never a spaghetti and meatball, you.
Speaker 1: Would be correct? Yeah, don't spaghetti and reball for the turkeys.
Speaker 1: I was not that sure, but I said one hundred
Speaker 1: percent to try to convince myself. Thank god, that was
Speaker 1: the million dollar question. Yes, that was an easy million
Speaker 1: dollar question.
Speaker 15: No.
Speaker 1: I think they've dumb these down for the celebrities a
Speaker 1: little bit. Probably they want to give the money away
Speaker 1: at least to a certain extent. Okay, you can join
Speaker 1: us on the show record you're dispatched as the Power
Speaker 1: Hour rules on It's easy to do. You do that
Speaker 1: over on the Newsjunkie dot Com and we play it
Speaker 1: back right here for you. We have see mister Mike
Speaker 1: wants to talk about that police chief in Seattle. A
Speaker 1: lot of people had thoughts on that, Well, what's up, guys. Hey,
Speaker 1: the chief of police needs to be in the city
Speaker 1: that they're the chief of police for. True.
Speaker 5: Imagine a Chief Brody was in New York when, you know,
Speaker 5: instead of amity, when jos started attacking, everybody would be
Speaker 5: bad because he wasn't there to save them.
Speaker 1: True, that's insane. Wiggle wiggle, chump chump. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: hands on job. You gotta be there. You got to
Speaker 1: be part of it. One more, here's tiny hands Joe.
Speaker 1: He was talking about Tony Romo, the liar. He says
Speaker 1: he's not lying.
Speaker 11: Hey, Sean se Lane, I just wanted to give my
Speaker 11: two cents in the whole Tony Remo situation.
Speaker 1: So two things.
Speaker 11: Firstly, you can't quite hear what he says before Grandma
Speaker 11: and Grandpa. I don't think he's saying my grandma and grandpa.
Speaker 11: You know, he's got three young kids. His oldest was
Speaker 11: born in twenty twelve, So I think it's reasonable that
Speaker 11: he could be saying, I brought my kids to co
Speaker 11: see grandma and grandpa, so we're here to meet them
Speaker 11: and his grandparents and his parents. His children's grandparents live
Speaker 11: in Wisconsin. So I think that's reasonable.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't. I don't think he could be lying there.
Speaker 1: It could be a reasonable explanation there.
Speaker 11: Secondly, for the open container, open container lows can sometimes
Speaker 11: be a little iffy, you know. They even if you
Speaker 11: don't have any alcohol in the container at all, they
Speaker 11: can still get you an open container charge even if
Speaker 11: it's empty and bone dry.
Speaker 1: So you know, I think there's enough reasonable doubt there.
Speaker 11: I don't he may not be lying.
Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts? Wiggle wiggle, pop up. I'm
Speaker 1: swaying all over the place on this when I usually
Speaker 1: don't sway much on any of my takes. I think
Speaker 1: that's a fair point. I think that people would say,
Speaker 1: like Selane might say, if Selen was in the car
Speaker 1: and he was headed over to his parents house, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be unthinkable for him to say if he was
Speaker 1: headed to his parents' house, Oh, we're going over to
Speaker 1: grandma and Grandpa's house. Because you're used to talking about
Speaker 1: your your parents in the context of your child, and
Speaker 1: if his parents were in that state, that's exactly point.
Speaker 5: That same thing I said when we talked about this
Speaker 5: at the beginning of the show. You never said it
Speaker 5: was a fair point.
Speaker 1: I think it's a fair point when elucidated by Tiny
Speaker 1: Hands Jones, when elucidated by Christopher Lane less so. Also,
Speaker 1: I may have been distracted in the surprising I did
Speaker 1: not expect that answer at all. I'll admit all the
Speaker 1: things today. I'm admitting all of the things. I think
Speaker 1: that's a fair point. It was a fair point when
Speaker 1: Sea Lane said it. Did you say that exact thing?
Speaker 1: Did you say exactly like that, like we call it
Speaker 1: grandma and Grandpa's house, like if you have your kids,
Speaker 1: like we're going to grandma and Grandpa's. I'm sorry that
Speaker 1: I was a listener to do you. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: I apologize if the opposite is that you Tony Romo,
Speaker 5: as a forty six year old man, visit your grandparents
Speaker 5: and still say I'm going to Grandmont Grandpas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I can understand it. Not when you said
Speaker 1: it clearly, but when tiny hands Jones said, I could
Speaker 1: understand what is that? Okay, that makes a little bit
Speaker 1: of sense.
Speaker 5: Actually, I'm gonna get my own text speech and then
Speaker 5: just put all my smart thoughts in tiny Han Jones's
Speaker 5: voice so that you believe me.
Speaker 1: You could do that, and you could do it with
Speaker 1: sound effects. There's all sorts of sound effects. Have you
Speaker 1: been playing with them? Maybe I have not yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you should, You really should get into that. I think
Speaker 1: it's it's a good idea, all right. Political profanity is
Speaker 1: having a moment, according to Axios. They're saying they say
Speaker 1: politicians are increasingly abandoning scripted language and publicly cursing. How
Speaker 1: do you guys feel about that? When politicians curse? Do
Speaker 1: you think it's trashy or you think it's fine? Are
Speaker 1: you okay with it? It's having an fing moment right now.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 1: My thoughts are if all of these politicians, including the
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America, all the way
Speaker 1: through everybody in Senate, in the Senate, all the way
Speaker 1: to everybody in the House of Representatives. In fact, I
Speaker 1: think somebody might have cursed at Fauci. Yesterday there was
Speaker 1: an F bomb dropped in the Fauci thing. I thought
Speaker 1: it was that Fauci dropped it, but let's find out. Okay.
Speaker 1: I know he dropped one afterwards when the press was
Speaker 1: hounding him about his performance. But I thought somebody might
Speaker 1: have said a curse word during the hearing too. I
Speaker 1: might be wrong about that, Okay, So it's both both
Speaker 1: or both of those are sure.
Speaker 5: Angry Fauci fires off an F bomb during walk with
Speaker 5: wife hours after senate grilling. I think somebody was probably
Speaker 5: either trolling him or something like that. And then during
Speaker 5: a heated Senate hearing, Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio hurled
Speaker 5: an F bom at doctor Anthony Fauci, demanding, who the
Speaker 5: F do you think you were? While criticizing federal pandemic
Speaker 5: era masking and lockdown policies. It said that he was
Speaker 5: recalling a COVID arrest at a football game. Okay, Carlos says,
Speaker 5: show a little decorum. But as sea Lean's highlighting here,
Speaker 5: this is not what politicians are doing. As Axios is
Speaker 5: highlighting in the article, there's more cursing from politicians than
Speaker 5: ever before, I'm just saying, if you guys are going
Speaker 5: to do that, if the elected officials who are supposed
Speaker 5: to be the adults in the room are going to
Speaker 5: do that, then we could just ditch this whole FCC
Speaker 5: rule about what we can and can't sit on the radio.
Speaker 5: At this point, I think so, because this is this
Speaker 5: is out of control. Morena said he decided to run
Speaker 5: for office soon after learning that the woman was arrested
Speaker 5: at an Ohio middle school football game in twenty twenty
Speaker 5: for refusing to wear a mask, which was reportedly against
Speaker 5: school's policy at the time. Here, I am This is
Speaker 5: a quote from Senator Marino. Here I am sitting in
Speaker 5: front of you six years later saying, who the F
Speaker 5: do you think you were for doing that?
Speaker 1: End quote. So he just absolutely said the F word
Speaker 1: the first word. Wow. Well here check this out. For
Speaker 1: US stat Presidents, vice presidents, and presidential hopefuls have used
Speaker 1: profanity six hundred and ninety two times in public since
Speaker 1: nineteen nineteen. All right, since nineteen nineteen, it's over one
Speaker 1: hundred years ago. Presidents, vice presidents, and presidential hopefuls have
Speaker 1: excuse me, profanity six hundred and ninety two times, six
Speaker 1: hundred and five of those have been in the last
Speaker 1: ten years, so all of the cursing has happened in
Speaker 1: the last decade. Trump and former President Biden account for
Speaker 1: seventy eight percent of all recorded profanity by presidents, vice
Speaker 1: presidents and presidential hopeful. Biden prefers the words such as damn,
Speaker 1: whereas Trump has used more colorful language like the F word,
Speaker 1: the S word, bastards, an shle. So that's shocking, kind
Speaker 1: of jarring to see. But they still want to hold
Speaker 1: the radio waves to a different account than they hold themselves.
Speaker 1: Apparently that's all I could take from this, and we'll
Speaker 1: see what you think. Send a dispatch over at the
Speaker 1: Newsjunkie dot com right now quick break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll get into the Sophie Cunningham thing I was talking about.
Speaker 1: I got some updates on that that we're pretty surprising. Actually,
Speaker 1: The Power Hour rolls on with you and your feedback
Speaker 1: and a grab bag segment. I've got a whole tab
Speaker 1: full of extras here, and we're gonna start working through
Speaker 1: some of those and get the best of the best
Speaker 1: in that's coming up next on the News Junkie. Now,
Speaker 1: I thought that WNBA thing like the pseudo scandal wasn't
Speaker 1: really a scandal. It was just that one of the
Speaker 1: stars of the WNBA, that Sophie Cunningham Lady, she's the
Speaker 1: one who did the point the meme where she just
Speaker 1: like pointed at the other round thought it she was
Speaker 1: she kept that point going. She's on the same team
Speaker 1: with Caitlyn Clark, and she made a statement which was
Speaker 1: pretty like milk toast about biological men in women's sports.
Speaker 1: And then the WNBA like had a weird fallout at
Speaker 1: one of their games. It was the Seattle Storm game
Speaker 1: when they were playing her team. And now I'm very surprised,
Speaker 1: but there's been people who have been suspended, there's been apologies,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of stuff. Sophie Cunningham basically just
Speaker 1: said she didn't want biological men making it unfair for
Speaker 1: women in women's sports. This is a position, as I
Speaker 1: highlighted yesterday, that is not only not radical, it's maybe
Speaker 1: one of the most popular positions one could have audern
Speaker 1: American discourse. It's like eighty percent of the populace agrees
Speaker 1: with that statement. It's an effort done by people who
Speaker 1: are mostly lunatics and very political people who want to
Speaker 1: make you feel crazy. They want to put social pressure
Speaker 1: on you, even though there's so many more people that
Speaker 1: agree with you than ever will agree with anything that
Speaker 1: they believe in. And they've done they got away with
Speaker 1: that for doing I got away with doing that for
Speaker 1: a long time, and they want to kind of keep
Speaker 1: doing that. But I wasn't expecting this. I said that
Speaker 1: they handled this all wrong. I said that the message
Speaker 1: that a lot of these places should take up is
Speaker 1: just to be like, no political statements at all, and
Speaker 1: then just keep the sports on display at these events.
Speaker 1: But when you open it up for political statements and
Speaker 1: somebody does one that's massively popular with the American public,
Speaker 1: and the supporters show up and have signs, and then
Speaker 1: they get attacked by WAMBA fans and WNBA coaches and
Speaker 1: co owners for their opinion that when that happens, then
Speaker 1: you got a problem on your hand. Jack Thompson, a
Speaker 1: sports reporter and journalist for Fox says, the Seattle Storm
Speaker 1: have apologized. I'm really surprised at this. The Seattle Storm
Speaker 1: WNBA team has apologized for the conduct of a co
Speaker 1: owner towards two young girls who were supporting Sophie Cunningham
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night of footage and testimony shows a further
Speaker 1: storm of chaos as the two girls endured that the
Speaker 1: two girls endured that the team is not addressed. The
Speaker 1: WNBA has confirmed that Seattle Storm co owner Celeste Keaton
Speaker 1: has been suspended from attending the team's next five home
Speaker 1: games and has been fired because these women showed up
Speaker 1: with signs in support of Sophie Cunningham, and the woman
Speaker 1: went over like a lunatic and started berating them and
Speaker 1: cursing at them and yelling at them. And she was
Speaker 1: the co owner of one of the WNBA teams. And
Speaker 1: now that woman has been banned from attending the next
Speaker 1: five home games for the Seattle Storm WNBA team, which
Speaker 1: is she regularly as the home games. I would imagine
Speaker 1: the co owned, right, I mean, I would guess that
Speaker 1: she was there. And this is the girls talking about
Speaker 1: their experience. They have to be careful because they curse
Speaker 1: at some point. Well, we were just sitting them.
Speaker 8: With their signs and said like we love Sophie, like
Speaker 8: thank you something for speaking up, and so we were
Speaker 8: holding on just watching the game again with you were
Speaker 8: being super great. We didn't say anything to anyone else.
Speaker 8: You've been super respectful. You're just holding our signs and
Speaker 8: sharing for both teams. And this lady, older lady comes
Speaker 8: up to us and she come with us, and at
Speaker 8: first I think she's gonna be nice, and she asked, like,
Speaker 8: what are you guys doing something?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then it was like, Jesus loves everyone. That's
Speaker 1: what she told us.
Speaker 8: And I was like, oh, I know, like I'm religious,
Speaker 8: Like I.
Speaker 1: Know, like I know yeah, and she's like, So she
Speaker 1: came up and she was Jesus loves everyone, and then
Speaker 1: she was using that to try to use their religion
Speaker 1: to make a point on them. And then afterwards she
Speaker 1: started screaming at them and said like f you, you're
Speaker 1: effing insane to these girls who had showed up at
Speaker 1: the at the match, then there were supporters that I
Speaker 1: guess were just like trashing trashing on. This is what
Speaker 1: there is a grown ass man. These two young girls
Speaker 1: are there and this is a grown ass man trying
Speaker 1: to get into it with him because they have a
Speaker 1: sign that he disagrees with at the NBA game and
Speaker 1: he's telling all the security He's like, could take out
Speaker 1: the trash, get these girls out of here. They're trash.
Speaker 1: He was trying to mix it up with these two girls.
Speaker 1: Get out of here. So they were being confronted by
Speaker 1: multiple fans. Then there here's another one. Check this out.
Speaker 1: I would have thought there had been such drama at
Speaker 1: this WNBA s I wouldn't have thought, so check this out.
Speaker 1: This was pretty shocking to me. There was somebody who
Speaker 1: was a supporter of Sophie Cunningham and one of the
Speaker 1: Seattle Storm fans comes up in the stands and spitz
Speaker 1: on her.
Speaker 5: He literally the guy. She got it perfectly in video. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he had to have known she was taking video. What
Speaker 5: an idiot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he spits on her because he was not happy
Speaker 1: with what was going on and she was a fever fan.
Speaker 1: I guess this is pretty bad behavior all around from
Speaker 1: the fans, and they seem to be kind of saying
Speaker 1: that they were going to do something about this. At
Speaker 1: least Sophie Conningham from the WNBA has responded with again,
Speaker 1: these are like very milk toast statements. I truly believe
Speaker 1: there's a safe space and love for everybody, biological girls,
Speaker 1: biological boys, trans women, and trans men. Everyone is welcome
Speaker 1: at my table. You can disagree but still be kind.
Speaker 1: Bravo to those girls for standing up for what they believe.
Speaker 1: You'll be hearing from me soon. Yay forgifts. Truly embarrassing
Speaker 1: of the co owner of the team doing this, unfortunately
Speaker 1: shows the type of leader that she is, so again
Speaker 1: very middle of the road milk toast comment and saying
Speaker 1: that she just supports these girls. That's where this is gone.
Speaker 1: We'll see if there's any more fallout, but they at
Speaker 1: least said that they were going to punish and suspend
Speaker 1: the co owner of one of those teams, who I
Speaker 1: don't know much more about that lady, but I guess
Speaker 1: she's the one who confronted the young girls. All right,
Speaker 1: let's see here. We want to work in you. Your
Speaker 1: commentary is always welcome on the show, whether you agree, disagree,
Speaker 1: or somewhere in between. It's always excited to excited to
Speaker 1: hear what you have going on. So hit us up
Speaker 1: with your photo, video or otherwise audio dispatches at the
Speaker 1: neewsjunkie dot com check this out. Funky Fresh sends over
Speaker 1: a photo dispatch and it says, hey, we made our
Speaker 1: very own news junkie magnet with a three D printer.
Speaker 1: Nice It was cool, man, where are they? I don't know?
Speaker 1: It looks beautiful? Wait is this real? There's no way
Speaker 1: is that that's not Seattle? Is it right? Is something
Speaker 1: I don't actually know? There's like the most gorgeous waterfalls
Speaker 1: behind it. This looks very AI. It's like so beautiful
Speaker 1: where they are looks AI. Let us know, chatters who
Speaker 1: are watching if you think this is AI or not.
Speaker 1: But thank you, Funky Fresh, very very cool. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: I'll get to more of your feedback here in just
Speaker 1: a moment on the show. But I wanted to share
Speaker 1: something else with you because there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: talking about this as well. Every time I see this
Speaker 1: come up in my neighborhood because it's a huge fight.
Speaker 1: But I guess there's a construction site in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: where the coyotes totally took over. I'll do this real quickly.
Speaker 1: It's hardly unusual in southern California to see coyotes every
Speaker 1: west streets and moving on. What's surprising here is to
Speaker 1: see them moving in. They're us like sunning themselves up
Speaker 1: on this ledge home. They took over of coyotes neighbors
Speaker 1: count at least six. Is an abandoned condo construction site
Speaker 1: in the middle of West Hollywood. Guys, they gotta go somewhere,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. These animals have to go somewhere.
Speaker 1: The coyotes have been forced out a lot of these areas.
Speaker 1: It's a contentious battle though, on most next door interactions.
Speaker 1: When you start talking about coyotes and what should happen
Speaker 1: with them cuts let us know what you think. Go
Speaker 1: over to the newsjunkie dot com and send us your
Speaker 1: feedback right now. Yeah, these are just like at a
Speaker 1: straight up construction vacant for years. In recent days, residents
Speaker 1: here say the coyotes are more of a curiosity than
Speaker 1: a threat and more than ready for their close up,
Speaker 1: appearing quite comfortable and well fed, says Cindy Sorely, who
Speaker 1: lives across the street.
Speaker 10: Some guy pulled out and threw a whole bunch of
Speaker 10: fresh chicken legs over the fence.
Speaker 1: Feeding the coyotes, feeding them, watering them, and that is
Speaker 1: watering them. Imagine how big they're gonna get.
Speaker 5: Unless you water and trim their coyote roots, then there
Speaker 5: can be buns like coyotes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is what they're doing in this day
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't recommend feeding them. I just say, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's not surprising to be that the
Speaker 1: coyotes are going to take up a sanctuary somewhere. This
Speaker 1: is what they do. You know, we've worked them out
Speaker 1: of a lot of the areas where they used to
Speaker 1: call home. But that's how they're handling it there. And
Speaker 1: you know what, let's take a quick break. When we
Speaker 1: come back, we're going to do the final dispatches stories
Speaker 1: that didn't make the cut, And of course today learned
Speaker 1: to wrap everything up for a Thursday that is coming
Speaker 1: up next on the news. Chunky, let's wrap everything up
Speaker 1: here as we roll out on a Thursday. Somebody said,
Speaker 1: there's some thing's going on in the dating world in
Speaker 1: New York City. Okay, somebody is trying to lock in
Speaker 1: a date and they said, good morning, what time, slash?
Speaker 1: Where is dinner tomorrow? And the guy said, have you
Speaker 1: been to law Merse? And then she says, I have not.
Speaker 1: It looks gorgeous. And then she said, can you send
Speaker 1: me an uber for dinner tomorrow? And then the guy said, no,
Speaker 1: I won't. I'm happy to pick a restaurant next next
Speaker 1: to you, and the lady who posted this got four
Speaker 1: point four million views. Single girlfriend in New York City's
Speaker 1: text message with a hinge match. She's upset, she said,
Speaker 1: But now women in New York City they want somebody
Speaker 1: to send an uber to pick them up for the date,
Speaker 1: which sounds expensive. It can be if you're sending an
Speaker 1: uber over to somebody. This person says, she's entitled to
Speaker 1: whatever expectations of men she wants. True, but asking a
Speaker 1: stranger from the internet to send a car is cringey.
Speaker 1: She has no business being upset if you won't. The
Speaker 1: guy's response to simultaneously fair, abrasive and weird. He said,
Speaker 1: how about I come to you hard, not to say
Speaker 1: suck stuck? Single if you interact like this, she said,
Speaker 1: And then there was one other clip I wanted to
Speaker 1: try to work in. Oh, this happened with a dog
Speaker 1: the other day. Here it is with a cat sensing
Speaker 1: an earthquake right as it was about to happen, getting
Speaker 1: out of the room, right before stuff started falling all
Speaker 1: over the place. Yeah, there's a cat that must have
Speaker 1: said like something's wrong way before the room starts shaking,
Speaker 1: and then the cat just goes nope, pieces out. But
Speaker 1: where to, like, I don't know, Yeah, did it find safety?
Speaker 5: I know that's that's in Japan, the earthquake that they
Speaker 5: just dealing with him. I saw a Fantastic Cat video
Speaker 5: this morning. It was somebody who had used a projector
Speaker 5: to play like Nintendo old school Nintendo Super Mario Brothers
Speaker 5: on an entire wall. Like the projector was big that
Speaker 5: the the entire wall was this video game and they're
Speaker 5: jumping around with Mario and the cat was going aps
Speaker 5: trying to get Mario on the wall.
Speaker 1: And now one of those I don't know if Junkie
Speaker 1: Cat would go crazy for it. But now the final
Speaker 1: thing in the stories that did make the cut is
Speaker 1: Sea Lane. I don't understand prison. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: get it. I don't want to have to understand. The
Speaker 1: story is Sean Diddy Combs. His release from federal prison
Speaker 1: has been moved up one month. Yeah, you just told
Speaker 1: me he got into a prison fight, and now they're like, well,
Speaker 1: we'll let him out a month earlier. I don't under
Speaker 1: stand what's going on over there, but I guess he's
Speaker 1: getting out sooner. Let's do today. I learned the following
Speaker 1: information may make you feel smarter, but will not actually
Speaker 1: increase your IQ, So don't get cocky.
Speaker 4: Do what we got today.
Speaker 1: Thank you everybody. A good time today and a big
Speaker 1: fat Friday show for you tomorrow. Full house, lots of
Speaker 1: good stuff going on right now. Yes, indeed, this very
Speaker 1: special guest today. I learned this man right here, Weezer.
Speaker 1: That's right, Weezer. There was a Weezer cruise in twenty
Speaker 1: twelve and twenty fourteen, and they went all in. In
Speaker 1: addition to Weezer performing on the cruise, they hosted game nights,
Speaker 1: they took day excursions with people, and they even had
Speaker 1: a from these that sounds Weezer. They got all the money.
Speaker 1: They've sold ten million albums in the United States thirty
Speaker 1: five million worldwide, and they still got time for people
Speaker 1: on the cruise. Thank you so much for hanging out
Speaker 1: with us. We do appreciate it. We're back tomorrow the
Speaker 1: same time, the same place. Missed ending of the show.
