Speaker 1: so I'm excited about that. And we are getting closer
Speaker 1: to the weekend, so let's get started. Let's put our
Speaker 1: ears the ground, our fingers on the pulse to see
Speaker 1: what's happening to this great, big, wide world of ours.
Speaker 1: And the streets are not safe everybody. I mean this,
Speaker 1: I mean you don't even know what's going on beneath
Speaker 1: the wheels of your vehicle right now. And we go
Speaker 1: to the streets for our opening clip today, Let's see
Speaker 1: what happens. Anybody coming down sixty four don't Oh.
Speaker 2: I was driving my trailer and I was coming down
Speaker 2: sixty fourth headed in Illinois. I saw a car hit that,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what the hell? And I had to
Speaker 2: go around here, and I got my trailer behind me
Speaker 2: and I barely miss that. Bro that's all the way
Speaker 2: down to the bottom.
Speaker 1: Just so you folks listen and know, there is a
Speaker 1: massive hole in an inner state where you're you know,
Speaker 1: you're a story up in the air, you're you're you're
Speaker 1: on an overpass and there's a hole in the road
Speaker 1: with just the rebar showing. And the guy says I
Speaker 1: saw cars hitting this, and I freaked out and I stopped.
Speaker 1: And when he looked down, you can see all the
Speaker 1: way down to the road below it. And I mean,
Speaker 1: I wonder how much of our infrastructure is looking like this,
Speaker 1: because that is freaky. Say did it say where this is?
Speaker 1: Aj Soop says sixty four going into Illinois? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: sixty four is what the guy said. What I hold
Speaker 1: that road is? I mean, I don't know, but it
Speaker 1: is beat that f up is what I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Because what's the protocol to fix this little problem we
Speaker 1: have here? Is a little well, I mean in you know,
Speaker 1: there's a hole in the road. You can almost I
Speaker 1: have a car down. That is no good. But what's
Speaker 1: the do we have like a cherry picker or something
Speaker 1: with no people in it? It's just a platform that
Speaker 1: they just kind of lift up to the bottom there
Speaker 1: to catch all the asphalt that they're going to pour. Like,
Speaker 1: what do you do here? I think you got to
Speaker 1: rebuild the over That's terrifying. Yeah, it is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1: Imagine you're driving on an overpass and you look down
Speaker 1: and you see a hole in the road. You can
Speaker 1: just see clear down through to the road below.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 1: That's what this guy's looking at that.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what the hell? And I had to
Speaker 2: go around here and I got my trailer behind me
Speaker 2: and I barely miss that.
Speaker 1: Brother, that's all the way down to.
Speaker 2: The bottom of the I'm getting out of here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's terrifying.
Speaker 2: I saw all these cars crashing and that is a
Speaker 2: big asshole.
Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, it's a big ass hole, is what
Speaker 1: he's saying. Is for the record, Yeah, it's a large hole.
Speaker 1: What the guy is getting at it is freaky.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: I'll put this up on see it now, and to
Speaker 1: get a screenshot as I'm speaking here. Also, it's creepy, man.
Speaker 1: The rest of the road that doesn't have a hole
Speaker 1: in it. When you when you see the hole, doesn't
Speaker 1: it seem like the rest of it's not thick enough?
Speaker 1: It does. I like to think, or at least I
Speaker 1: did for a long time until this very moment. I
Speaker 1: like to think that all the roads that we drive
Speaker 1: on are safe enough so that we're not in danger.
Speaker 1: Like I never thought for once that my car would
Speaker 1: plummet through the road and crash down into the road
Speaker 1: below it. But maybe that's a real and actual issue.
Speaker 1: A big ass hole in the road. It's a hole
Speaker 1: that it is, like a big ass one. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what. Did I say that differently? I thought I
Speaker 1: got that across. You said it the same way the
Speaker 1: other guy said it. And I think we've used up
Speaker 1: our punch card. Not a good time to rattle the cages,
Speaker 1: that is what you're saying. All right, fair enough, all right,
Speaker 1: go take a look at that over on see it now.
Speaker 1: We put a picture of the big asshole over on
Speaker 1: see it now and you can take a peek if
Speaker 1: you're interested in staring down at Aren't there enough pictures
Speaker 1: of you on the website?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Watch your mouth. Oh hey, big big news coming in, folks,
Speaker 1: big news incoming. I don't know what this means, but
Speaker 1: sloth World is down. Sloth World is down. Somebody just
Speaker 1: alerted me before the show and they said, hey, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on over there, but take a look.
Speaker 1: And I did it look like this yesterday. No, Now
Speaker 1: the website is down. We've been going after sloth World
Speaker 1: on the show and all of a sudden, somebody says, hey,
Speaker 1: something happened here. There's social media accounts are down. Their
Speaker 1: website is down. It says, check back soon the socials
Speaker 1: are down, because there's what they said. Their down website
Speaker 1: that we're looking at still has links to the socials.
Speaker 1: Is it going it's just a social Instagram. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: just goes to Instagram. It's just not Instagram dot com.
Speaker 1: Slash their page. No, why does it have a log in?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Something must have gone wrong. What if
Speaker 1: I click log in? It's a WordPress website. I can
Speaker 1: tell what's going on here sloth World, so they they
Speaker 1: have done something, all right now, I don't want to
Speaker 1: hack into the system here that I could if I
Speaker 1: wanted to. But the Gibson it says for their website, this, uh,
Speaker 1: this facility that we've been talking about on the show
Speaker 1: here sloth World, where they've faced some criticism for how
Speaker 1: they've been keeping these slows. To say the very least,
Speaker 1: I think thirty one of the slaws have died and
Speaker 1: their website is down or not, says sloth World's web server,
Speaker 1: Blue Affuse could be. Yeah, they have the same the
Speaker 1: web servers on the same extension cable as the space heater,
Speaker 1: so we don't know what's going on there. But somebody
Speaker 1: did point that out via email so I wanted to
Speaker 1: take a peek another one that was an option for
Speaker 1: an opening clip today that I might as well work
Speaker 1: in just so you guys can see this. It's in
Speaker 1: the world of baseball, and boy do we love sports around,
Speaker 1: very good at it too. We know all the sports.
Speaker 1: If it's got balls in it, we are all over it,
Speaker 1: as they say. And the Athletics were playing another very
Speaker 1: good team. We know them and we love them, and
Speaker 1: they are known as the Mariners, and the Seattle Mariners
Speaker 1: and the Athletics were playing when the batter hit the
Speaker 1: ball quite hard and ceiling. As you know, what one
Speaker 1: want to do in a baseball game, you do like
Speaker 1: to do that. Yet one of the risks of being
Speaker 1: a pitcher is the ball could come right back at
Speaker 1: you right all right. So that kind of happened here.
Speaker 1: But more so than anything, the picture goes, wait, well wait,
Speaker 1: what happened? The ball gets hit right back at the
Speaker 1: picture right here, he goes. He goes, well, whoa, what
Speaker 1: happened there? So the picture is spin it around. The
Speaker 1: reaction time on this picture for the Mariners unbelievable. I
Speaker 1: don't know who this guy is. It shouts out to
Speaker 1: you the ball hits into his body and he starts
Speaker 1: spinning around. He's moving around and he's going, what do
Speaker 1: I do here? What happened to the ball? Is question one?
Speaker 1: Right back and it is in his glove cot no
Speaker 1: shirt logan Gilbert, and he pulls the ball out of
Speaker 1: his shirt. How does that happen? Is that a catch?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 1: Is that a catch? I say it's a catch. I
Speaker 1: don't think that the rules of the Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: would have anything. Maybe they do, maybe something similar has
Speaker 1: happened before where they would say, Hey, the catcher's got
Speaker 1: to be in your hand, whether it's your your gloved
Speaker 1: hand or your non gloved hand. Is how it works?
Speaker 1: Baseball fans, let us know. Hit us up with your
Speaker 1: answers on this, because I've I might be crazy here.
Speaker 1: I have a vague memory Sea Lane got it. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I made this up or not. Is
Speaker 1: this from like a movie, like a comedy. I have
Speaker 1: a vague memory of a baseball player running with his
Speaker 1: hat out and catching the ball and the hat and
Speaker 1: oh yeah, this might be this sounds movie ish. Is
Speaker 1: that wild thing? Angels in the outfield? Angel with You're
Speaker 1: right now? It's a catch? I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: it's a catch. Oh somebody's they're saying dead ball, but
Speaker 1: who knows who's right. There are some people saying dead
Speaker 1: ball now. But unbelievable that the picture he's wearing one
Speaker 1: of those button up baseball shirts, like you know you
Speaker 1: might have in a jersey, and the ball disappears. Isn't
Speaker 1: know where it is. The ball went into his shirt
Speaker 1: and stayed inside, is tucked in shirt, and I guess
Speaker 1: that's in out. I guess that's what you end up with.
Speaker 1: They're pretty crazy, though. I thought that was wild and
Speaker 1: sort of one in a million right there. If this
Speaker 1: happened a hundred years ago, we wouldn't have the video,
Speaker 1: but everybody would have called him Buttons Gilbert until it
Speaker 1: was engraved on his eventual stud tombstone. Okay, it's probably true.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just here. So in Major League baseball,
Speaker 1: a catch requires secure possession of the ball in the
Speaker 1: fielder's hand or glove, and that they maintain control long
Speaker 1: enough to show voluntary release. All right, Oh, here we go,
Speaker 1: what sports geniuses on the move? Baby, Look at this.
Speaker 1: Here's the rule, ball going into player's uniform five oh
Speaker 1: one B If a batter or thrown ball inadvertently goes
Speaker 1: inside a player or coach's uniform, lodges in the catcher's
Speaker 1: face mask or paraphernalia, or is intentionally placed inside a
Speaker 1: player's uniform in a pants pocket, the umpire shall call time.
Speaker 1: The umpire will, using common sense and fair play, place
Speaker 1: all runners in such a manner that, in the umpire's judgment,
Speaker 1: judgment will nullify the action of the ball going out
Speaker 1: of play. That being said, if the umpire determines the
Speaker 1: player play the ball in his uniform intentionally for the
Speaker 1: purpose of deceiving a base runner, well that's not the
Speaker 1: case here, huhuh. The umpire will place all runners at
Speaker 1: least one base More so, we don't we know that
Speaker 1: in no case may any be outs recorded on such play.
Speaker 1: Note that the determination whether a ball lodged in equipment
Speaker 1: or was placed in the uniform is not subject to
Speaker 1: replay review. I still don't know what it means. I'm
Speaker 1: reading the chat GPT answer, which is generally a little
Speaker 1: more layman. If a live ball gets stuck in a
Speaker 1: player's shirt or jersey, pants, etc. Here's how it's ruled.
Speaker 1: First of all, not automatically a catch. Clothing is not
Speaker 1: considered legal equipment for completing a catch, which I think
Speaker 1: like the hat thing would play into as well. But
Speaker 1: the hat, you're at least like you have to demonstrate
Speaker 1: control that thing at the fielder. The fielder must get
Speaker 1: the ball into their hand or glove and demonstrate control.
Speaker 1: If the ball is merely lodged in the shirt and
Speaker 1: never transferred to the hand or glove with clear control,
Speaker 1: it's not an out. If the player secures it with
Speaker 1: their hand or glove before it falls out and shows control,
Speaker 1: it can be a rule to catch. I don't it's
Speaker 1: an uncatchable hit. So it's a hit. But it's an
Speaker 1: uncatch our experts, let us know what the hell's going on?
Speaker 1: You should just keep watching the video, isn't. I have
Speaker 1: to do it very slowly on account of copyrights. That what?
Speaker 4: All?
Speaker 1: Right? There, he's got the ball, let's see. I just
Speaker 1: want to get to the judgment that you will not
Speaker 1: see again. Probably not. He's probably correct on that, But
Speaker 1: what's the rule in his jersey? It sure is inside
Speaker 1: of his jersey. You're right about that. Commentary is being
Speaker 1: at it now right between the buttons.
Speaker 5: Trying to defend himself and you can see it going the.
Speaker 1: Shirt right there. I got nothing. I got nothing more,
Speaker 1: so we'll have to leave it to the experts. We're
Speaker 1: not the sports guys around here, for God's sake. Let
Speaker 1: us know what you think. Send a dispatch over at
Speaker 1: Thenewsjunkie dot com so we'll keep an eye on all
Speaker 1: the things that we've been watching here. I did see
Speaker 1: a story this morning I thought was kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: I actually want to get to this when we come
Speaker 1: back because it's going to start a larger conversation which
Speaker 1: will kick up during the break for those of you
Speaker 1: on YouTube and twitch dot tv slash. The News Junkie
Speaker 1: got this ridiculous article in the New York Times. As
Speaker 1: a lot of people talking. I got clips galore, we
Speaker 1: got Fritz on the street baby, we got some guests
Speaker 1: coming along. We got a lot happening for you here
Speaker 1: on a Thursday, and it's all coming up next on
Speaker 1: the News Junkie. This story is true, but it still
Speaker 1: shocks me and I don't really have this in my
Speaker 1: system as much, but a lot of you, because I
Speaker 1: asked chat right before we came back here on the show,
Speaker 1: seiling seemed like you've done this yourselves, and the story says,
Speaker 1: I'm reading this in front of me, about two and
Speaker 1: five Americans went what they call no contact with somebody
Speaker 1: that they love this year, about about thirty eight percent
Speaker 1: of Americans. Who five seems high? Right? That's high right?
Speaker 1: Is there any like qualifiers to somebody that they love,
Speaker 1: like a family member or just a friend that they
Speaker 1: love very much? Sure? Let me give you a couple
Speaker 1: of details here, seeing that it says thirty eight percent
Speaker 1: of Americans went no contact with a friend or family
Speaker 1: member in the past year. So that's a lot. Thirty
Speaker 1: eight percent, and you're in a room. That's almost four
Speaker 1: out of ten of you and two out of five
Speaker 1: if you do the letter for or the numbers from
Speaker 1: the headline there. But thirty eight percent of Americans went
Speaker 1: no contact with a friend or family member of the
Speaker 1: past year. Here's a crazy bit with gen Z at
Speaker 1: sixty percent, far out pacing baby boom boomers at twenty
Speaker 1: percent in cutting people off. So the gen Z folks,
Speaker 1: the young folks are just like you know, severing ties
Speaker 1: to friends and family. I haven't even told you why yet,
Speaker 1: and that's a whole different thing. But that's crazy. The
Speaker 1: baby boomers aren't doing it. You know why, because baby
Speaker 1: boomers don't make new friends. Baby boomers have who they have,
Speaker 1: They've already lost a whole lot of people. They're getting
Speaker 1: closer to the end. They really have a lot more.
Speaker 1: I think they have a lot more of a leash
Speaker 1: for people and their behaviors. And what they do in
Speaker 1: these circumstances is they muscle through it. They find out
Speaker 1: the things that they should not talk to somebody else about,
Speaker 1: and they have more of a backbone when somebody just
Speaker 1: disagrees with them over something. So thirty eight percent of
Speaker 1: Americans went no contact with a friend or family member
Speaker 1: gen Z. Sixty percent of them went no contact with
Speaker 1: a friend or family member. Nearly three quarters of respondents
Speaker 1: said their instinct during relationship trouble is to pull away
Speaker 1: rather than talk it through. I have seen this in
Speaker 1: so many different things. It's just obviously something that's getting
Speaker 1: a cultural hold on us in America. And here's how
Speaker 1: I'll describe it. I saw a chart, and the chart
Speaker 1: was on answers from the relationship advice subreddits, and the
Speaker 1: answers from the relationship advice subreddits about ten years ago
Speaker 1: or so, almost all of them were like make sure
Speaker 1: communication is really flowing, make sure you're talking. If you
Speaker 1: had like a thought bubble of all the buzzwords that
Speaker 1: were said, then it would be like communication talking, it
Speaker 1: would be going to a couple's therapy and working it out. That.
Speaker 1: This is what all the buzzwords would be. Now it's
Speaker 1: like push it away, leave ghosting, ditch them, don't put
Speaker 1: up with it, leap no more of this. The thought
Speaker 1: bubble has gone from try to work on it, try
Speaker 1: to make connections with people, try to repair and fix things,
Speaker 1: because your friends and your family matter more than anything
Speaker 1: out there. To nope, ditch them and leave them behind.
Speaker 1: What does that say? Why is that happening? What is
Speaker 1: going on that leads us here? That's the question I
Speaker 1: have for you today on the show, and I want
Speaker 1: you to answer me. I want you to tell me
Speaker 1: if you fall into this category. Have you gone non contact?
Speaker 1: Have you cut somebody off who's a friend or a
Speaker 1: family member in the last year, And if so, I
Speaker 1: want to know why, because some of these things are
Speaker 1: not what you would think. It's not always that there's
Speaker 1: politics at play here. It's not always it's like, h
Speaker 1: they got obsessed with some conspiracy theory.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 1: In fact, some of the things I saw were because
Speaker 1: of just different things in their own personal drama, and
Speaker 1: it was like they had a fight, but instead of
Speaker 1: talking it out and fixing the fight, they ended up
Speaker 1: saying I'm never going to talk to this person again.
Speaker 1: And younger people are doing this more than anybody else.
Speaker 1: So I think you could talk some of the younger
Speaker 1: people doing this to their younger over time, maybe they'll
Speaker 1: repair and make amends with these people. Sure, I find
Speaker 1: it out great. Have you cut anybody out of your
Speaker 1: life in the past year, Not that I can think
Speaker 1: of it, in the past year. Yeah, you know, April
Speaker 1: of last year. I barely cut anybody out of my
Speaker 1: life to begin with. I'd like one or two people
Speaker 1: tough but fair, tough but fair. I don't often do this.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's two people in my life who I've I've
Speaker 1: cut out of things because I find them to be
Speaker 1: poisonous human beings who are detached from reality. Once somebody
Speaker 1: is that that far out there, I will severtize with them,
Speaker 1: no matter who they are. But it's not something where
Speaker 1: if I go, well, you know, I had a fight
Speaker 1: or an argument or whatever, and I'm I'm not going
Speaker 1: to talk to this person ever. Again, I just wouldn't
Speaker 1: do that. So, for example, when I was a kid
Speaker 1: comparing the generations, had these friends grew up down the
Speaker 1: street from me, and I remember it was a big
Speaker 1: deal when they started moving in. The first reason is
Speaker 1: that the house that was on the end of the street,
Speaker 1: it was one of the only houses that was being
Speaker 1: built in the area. And I go, oh, they they're
Speaker 1: building a house here, and I'm going to have some friends.
Speaker 1: I never figured the house before. I lived in the
Speaker 1: acreage and row uponm Beach. For those of you who
Speaker 1: don't know, which is most of you, the deal is
Speaker 1: this is like a backwoods dirt road place, or at
Speaker 1: least it was at that time, and there was not
Speaker 1: a lot of people around me. And as a kid
Speaker 1: growing up there at six, seven eight years old, for
Speaker 1: a while, I didn't have anybody. It was just me
Speaker 1: as the only kid on the street at that time,
Speaker 1: and so it made it so I wasn't able to
Speaker 1: have a lot of interactions with other kids for a
Speaker 1: couple of years. And then this house is being built,
Speaker 1: so I go, oh, my god, this is so exciting.
Speaker 1: Friends are moving in down the street. And then my
Speaker 1: dad came home panicked one day because there was a
Speaker 1: goat's head on a stick in the front yard, and
Speaker 1: he found out there were some crazy Haitians who were
Speaker 1: moving into this house and that's who are our new
Speaker 1: neighbors down the road were going to be. So for
Speaker 1: a while, I was like, the people who put the
Speaker 1: goats head on the stick are going to live there.
Speaker 1: This ain't great. I wasn't excited about that. But then
Speaker 1: before you knew it, they ended up foreclosing and somebody
Speaker 1: else moved into this property. And I had two friends,
Speaker 1: one who was a year younger than me and one
Speaker 1: who was a year older than me, and they moved
Speaker 1: into the end of the street house and I was
Speaker 1: so excited at first. I started parading down the road
Speaker 1: with my bikes, my skateboard, my suit toys. Yeah, I'm like, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I got one of these, You got one of these?
Speaker 1: We'll play or did you just see me? I'm another
Speaker 1: kid on the street. Look at me, I'm another kid
Speaker 1: on the street. Whatever I could do to sort of
Speaker 1: get their attention to hang out with some other kids,
Speaker 1: and eventually I did indeed get their attention and we
Speaker 1: started hanging out. We became really good friends. And I
Speaker 1: grew up with these kids, you know, from six seven,
Speaker 1: eight years old to probably around eighteen ish or so.
Speaker 1: I hung out with these kids quite a bit. One
Speaker 1: time I went over there and we got into a fight.
Speaker 1: The three of us got to do a fight, pushing
Speaker 1: each other around, shoving each other down the hills, a
Speaker 1: big hole blowout, screaming at each other, calling each other
Speaker 1: names and everything you could think of. And I went
Speaker 1: home and I said to my dad, you know, here's
Speaker 1: what happened. And my dad goes, Okay, are you over it?
Speaker 1: And I said no, I'm angry, and he goes, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: and we went along with a couple other things for
Speaker 1: the rest of the day. He goes, hey, by the way,
Speaker 1: the thing we talked about earlier, you over it? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I'm angry, and he's like, okay. Right
Speaker 1: next morning or something, he goes you over it, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I think I'm over it. And he said, oh,
Speaker 1: you might want to remind yourself what it was like
Speaker 1: before you had any friends down the street. And that
Speaker 1: kind of stinks, doesn't it. And do you want to
Speaker 1: just be without any friends around you because you got
Speaker 1: to a stupid fight over whatever this was. He didn't
Speaker 1: really ask me what it was. He didn't care, and
Speaker 1: I said no, and he goes, isn't it kind of
Speaker 1: nice to have some friends you'd go outside and play
Speaker 1: with who live right down the street and you can
Speaker 1: ride bikes with them, play basketball, And I go, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, it is down there. And I talked
Speaker 1: to them and we like apologized to each other and
Speaker 1: we became best friends again, all of us. And that's
Speaker 1: how you handled it.
Speaker 3: Then.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's changed. I don't know why things
Speaker 1: have changed. But it used to be you blow off
Speaker 1: some steam, you get over it, and then you move on,
Speaker 1: you get back to be in friends. I don't know
Speaker 1: plenty of people that do the blow off some steam
Speaker 1: or do the fight thing, and then the next day
Speaker 1: it's like, uh, do we did we? I don't forget
Speaker 1: that that whole thing. So I ask you, what, we know?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Why is this happening like this now?
Speaker 1: Nearly two and five Americans going no contact, cutting off
Speaker 1: a friend or a loved one. A big one on
Speaker 1: YouTube says Sean didn't have any black friends. Lo ol,
Speaker 1: What are you new to this show? Yeah, I heard
Speaker 1: me tell stories about my black friend Chay growing up.
Speaker 1: Named after Chae Gavara by the way. His parents were
Speaker 1: like radicals and I never even knew it growing up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you haven't heard me talk about him? Yeah? Jay? You
Speaker 1: sure he was black?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: He was, Yeah, trust me. My dad. I told this
Speaker 1: story long ago where I said I went to his
Speaker 1: birthday party and my dad didn't know anything because we're
Speaker 1: kids and we don't care what color anybody is. And
Speaker 1: when we left, my dad was like, you didn't tell
Speaker 1: me they were black? And I go, why that?
Speaker 5: Dad?
Speaker 1: Did prepare yourself? Father? The family is black and we
Speaker 1: are arriving at their steed, Like what? But he's like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: it's great, it's great. You know, it's fantastic. I just
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't, and so he was really excited
Speaker 1: about my black friend at the time, Chay. So Chay,
Speaker 1: if you're out there somewhere, salute to you, buddy. I
Speaker 1: hope you're kicking ass and taking names. I lost him over.
Speaker 1: I hope not a lot of people are asking why
Speaker 1: the name Chay. I think that this is something that's
Speaker 1: more of a new phenomenon because we have a poisonous
Speaker 1: element in our culture where people think that the right
Speaker 1: way to handle relationships is to go nuclear, to separate
Speaker 1: yourself from people, to no longer talk to them about
Speaker 1: these things and instead just go to warfare and burn
Speaker 1: them and try to burn them publicly. And that is
Speaker 1: gross and bad in so many ways for us as Americans.
Speaker 1: Ryan says access to therapy talk without guidance as over
Speaker 1: complicated things for some people. It's got to play into it.
Speaker 1: It really does have to play into it. But I
Speaker 1: want to know what your theories are on this. Why
Speaker 1: is this happening, Why does it happen more with the
Speaker 1: younger generation, and is it happening to you? And if
Speaker 1: it is, give us that story. You know, who did
Speaker 1: you cut off in the last year? Why did you
Speaker 1: cut them off? Those are the things that I'm absolutely
Speaker 1: interested in hearing about. So do you let us know.
Speaker 1: Been reading through the chat and a Sun State John
Speaker 1: has been saying about how he had to cut off
Speaker 1: his sister because she wanted money for her cruise vacations
Speaker 1: and stuff. Yeah, and I like this is hilarious. He
Speaker 1: cut his sister off and just making it rain secret
Speaker 1: show gifts and thank you for Yeah, We're we're not
Speaker 1: going to leave. You will be your friends over here
Speaker 1: sin stage, John and everybody else. But give us your stories.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. Send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com or email tips at thenewsjunkie dot com. Right now,
Speaker 1: all right, I did have this that I wanted to play.
Speaker 1: Pretty awesome thing that the fans of the show did
Speaker 1: over the last weekend, which was Discamp, and they do
Speaker 1: this thing where all the people from the News Junkie
Speaker 1: Discord get together and they go on like a camping
Speaker 1: trip and they hang out with each other. And they said,
Speaker 1: not only were there new listeners that were going out
Speaker 1: to do the camping event, but also there were some
Speaker 1: randos out there that they told about the show who
Speaker 1: have started listening to the show in the aftermath of this.
Speaker 1: And I find both of things to be so cool.
Speaker 1: And I'll explain why here in just a second. But
Speaker 1: I wanted to play this video from Ajsup, who organizes
Speaker 1: the disc camp, and just I think it chronicles some
Speaker 1: of what went down while they were there. Let's see
Speaker 1: here it is right here.
Speaker 7: This past weekend was the TNJ fan community's seventh bi
Speaker 7: annual Discamp weekend and this.
Speaker 1: Spring fling, we already seeing merch. They're wearing shirts play
Speaker 1: about Black Whopper. Here, I have been camping with a DJ.
Speaker 1: No not with a setup like that. It's DJ Ray
Speaker 1: Djrage right there.
Speaker 7: With everyone's favorite tunes being mixed live all weekend by
Speaker 7: stream Chatter and discord mock DJ Rage. You couldn't help
Speaker 7: but dance, laugh, and just have a good time with
Speaker 7: new friends. And speaking of new friends, let's welcome Salty
Speaker 7: Laser and Salty Sea Queen to the TNJ community because
Speaker 7: they were curious enough to come over and say hi,
Speaker 7: So of course we shared the show.
Speaker 1: And they stuck around love it.
Speaker 7: We had the most amazing weather, two fires, because why
Speaker 7: the hell not, and of course the best food all
Speaker 7: weekend drinks from the bar while we enjoyed fall off
Speaker 7: the bone ribs and She's Potatoes, a wiener bar with
Speaker 7: all of the fixens, and delicious pulled pork.
Speaker 1: These these folks eat good when they go out there,
Speaker 1: They really they do. They eat good. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I know AJ brings a bunch of stuff,
Speaker 1: but I think they all kind of work together on
Speaker 1: some of this stuff. You know, you're not supposed to
Speaker 1: just be sitting there eating jerky the whole time. I
Speaker 1: mean a little lean jerky, but yeah, yeah it changed
Speaker 1: the fang freaking tastic says that looks so fun. It
Speaker 1: seems like they had a great time out there.
Speaker 7: Write at camp on the big green egg, firewater boys
Speaker 7: with homemade sides and the great company of the best
Speaker 7: dam community in radio. It was a fantastic weekend overall.
Speaker 7: And as always I already can't and hopefully you'll come
Speaker 7: out and join us too.
Speaker 1: There we go. How cool is that pile up firewood man?
Speaker 1: That's great? Love that love to see that, and here's why,
Speaker 1: real quick. One thing I love, love, love love love
Speaker 1: completely perfect timing on this, completely perfect timing. One thing
Speaker 1: I love is there's so many elements of the news
Speaker 1: Junkie community where we're breaking through a big boundary in
Speaker 1: life as an adult. And the boundary in life as
Speaker 1: an adult is that once you get to a certain age,
Speaker 1: it's so hard to meet new people and make new friends.
Speaker 1: And that's why I have stuff like TJ chat over
Speaker 1: at chat atthnewsjunkie dot com, where you can you pop
Speaker 1: in start hanging out with people, start chatting with them,
Speaker 1: make friends, have all the fun stuff going on. And
Speaker 1: we have the fortune of having fans like aj Soup
Speaker 1: and these other great friends of the show who pull
Speaker 1: off events like this where they go out and hang
Speaker 1: out with each other and they meet new people and
Speaker 1: they make new friends. Even as an adult. It's still possible,
Speaker 1: all right, And I think that's so important. It's so
Speaker 1: important you can still connect with people, communicate and make
Speaker 1: new friends and absolutely love to see it. So thank
Speaker 1: you for sending that. They don't people. It's just when
Speaker 1: Sean and somebody that's just an auto ghost, It's only
Speaker 1: one way to handle it, all right. There's only so
Speaker 1: many people that are ghosting. I'm I'm not cutting off
Speaker 1: people from my personal life, but if you're in chat
Speaker 1: and you're just really starting to go unhinged on me
Speaker 1: and posting my address and stuff, for that, I'll cut
Speaker 1: you off. I want to see what you have to
Speaker 1: say about this is sending those dispatches and emails to
Speaker 1: tips tips at the Newsjunkie dot Com. A lot of
Speaker 1: people already joining in on the discussion, So we'll get
Speaker 1: to that here in just a moment. That's coming up
Speaker 1: next in the news junkie, Well, is it forty percent
Speaker 1: of people thirty eight percent of people that said they
Speaker 1: cut somebody out of their life and it doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be for politics. I bet a lot of it
Speaker 1: is now. I think that part's a shame. I think
Speaker 1: if you disagree with people over politics, like it doesn't
Speaker 1: have have to be a big deal. You can have
Speaker 1: people that you know and you love and you care about,
Speaker 1: unless they're just NonStop trying to fight with you about stuff,
Speaker 1: who cares you know, maybe give him some warnings to
Speaker 1: tell them I don't want to talk about politics with you.
Speaker 1: But mostly people doing that is it's usually a self report.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the person who's cutting other people
Speaker 1: out for politics is usually a little crazy themselves, but
Speaker 1: they have a lot of responses over on chat. One
Speaker 1: person on YouTube says, my son quit speaking to us
Speaker 1: six years ago. He won't tell us why. That's got
Speaker 1: to be frustrating to not even get the information as
Speaker 1: to why this is happening. Jordan says, I had my
Speaker 1: cousin live with me once he was next level toxic.
Speaker 1: He ended up moving away and I blocked him afterwards.
Speaker 1: He moved away to Atlanta to be a reality television personality.
Speaker 1: It suits him well interesting. I mean I don't disagree
Speaker 1: with the suits him well part because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of toxicity in those people that make that. They bring
Speaker 1: the best ratings. You kind of need that. And then
Speaker 1: sport Johnson says, my wife boyfriend is a real jerk
Speaker 1: and not so many words. Yeah, I get it. I see.
Speaker 1: There was a girl I knew who like she had
Speaker 1: told her co workers one time, She's like, you know,
Speaker 1: how do you be on the Bachelorette? I think I'd
Speaker 1: want to do that. And the co workers, amongst themselves,
Speaker 1: are like, you are the quietest person, like there's some
Speaker 1: one there's there's nothing about you that they would pick me.
Speaker 1: Besides being very attractive, you don't seem to garner a
Speaker 1: whole lot of drama. I will cut people off for that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I will cut people off for being too attractive if
Speaker 1: they getting you know, if you're getting too close. I
Speaker 1: can't be out mogged in any kind of social photographs,
Speaker 1: which is why I seelen and I you know, as
Speaker 1: we hang and we're good and all as well, but
Speaker 1: otherwise if you are out doing me attractiveness wise, can't
Speaker 1: can't keep up with that. Sorry, Tips of the news
Speaker 1: Junkie dot com, please keep me anonymous. This person, So,
Speaker 1: you're trying to say that you're better looking than Courtney.
Speaker 1: Uh that actually, and now that I think about it,
Speaker 1: it's that my logic isn't gonna hold when it comes
Speaker 1: to that. Now, I've been no contact with my brother
Speaker 1: for two and a half years now, Anonymous says, after
Speaker 1: he called me the N word and he got married
Speaker 1: this year and he left me a half asked apology,
Speaker 1: says Anonymous. So many people have this exact issue. I
Speaker 1: cut my entire family off, nine brothers and sisters. This
Speaker 1: person says, well, you have nine brothers. Yeah, I have
Speaker 1: questions about the N word. One. What's your question? Well,
Speaker 1: what do you and your brother look like? I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna assume he's black. If a white guy gets
Speaker 1: mad that his brother calls him the N word, what
Speaker 1: kind of pedantic knowledge? That's what I'm saying. That's that's
Speaker 1: really weird. But also my brother would be black too, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: unless it's like a half brother kind of situation, Like
Speaker 1: it's either if you look a lot, it's either two
Speaker 1: people that are allowed to say it or two people
Speaker 1: that are not allowed to say it. But either way
Speaker 1: it's still is all right? See, is not not such
Speaker 1: a crazy question? Now there's a good question. Anonymous, fill
Speaker 1: us in on that. Give us some more information. Back
Speaker 1: to this other email master, Bruce says, I got my
Speaker 1: entire family, nine brothers and sisters for them mishandling my
Speaker 1: father's death. Let me tell you that'll do it. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that will do it. The death of a loved one
Speaker 1: brings out the worst in people, sometimes fighting for a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of money, fighting for possessions. Who's supposed to
Speaker 1: handle what with the funerals, how people are behaving emotionally,
Speaker 1: whether or not you're treating it as a serious thing.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, yeah, I mean there is a lot of
Speaker 1: things that come up when somebody dies like that. To start,
Speaker 1: my entire family chose to pull the plug on my
Speaker 1: father while fighting for his life after a stroke. Only
Speaker 1: three days pass and they decided amongst themselves, holy com
Speaker 1: they need everybody on board, but they already made the
Speaker 1: decision as goes for his funeral. Instead of listening to
Speaker 1: my father's accomplishment, they decided to list over fifty family
Speaker 1: members that he was survived by not to mention that
Speaker 1: my father never wanted a service to begin with. He
Speaker 1: wanted to be cremated, but they wanted different than his wishes.
Speaker 1: My wife and I packed up our family of three
Speaker 1: at the time and moved to Florida. It's been eight
Speaker 1: years now and I don't miss them at all. Toxicity
Speaker 1: creates patches in your life that are extremely stressful and unwarranted.
Speaker 1: I may not be able to choose my family, but
Speaker 1: I could choose how to spend my time. I choose peace,
Speaker 1: says this person. I think that's good in some ways.
Speaker 1: If somebody is a negative, poisonous influence legitimately in your life,
Speaker 1: you should cut them out. This is mostly true for
Speaker 1: people who have a person in their life that has
Speaker 1: an addiction to drugs and it's just going on and on,
Speaker 1: and you help, and you help, and you help, and
Speaker 1: at some point in time you go, this is such
Speaker 1: a detriment to my quality of life that I have
Speaker 1: to cut this person out. I have done that personally, Okay.
Speaker 1: One of the only people I've cut out of my
Speaker 1: life I have done for that exact reason, and I
Speaker 1: don't look back on that in any sort of negative
Speaker 1: way at all, and I will continue on this path
Speaker 1: moving forward. But I could never do it over something
Speaker 1: that was as silly as a disagreement when I really
Speaker 1: had a connection with somebody. I don't care about stuff
Speaker 1: like that personally. Somebody else says, I think it's easy
Speaker 1: to blow people off today, Unlike back in the day
Speaker 1: was face to face. It took a little bit of
Speaker 1: a courage to fight with somebody. Now you could do
Speaker 1: it in a text or an email, or even say
Speaker 1: it on Facebook. Then you can go back to a
Speaker 1: computer where there's millions of other pretend Internet friends, and
Speaker 1: they said, thanks, just another listener. Wow, that's a fair point.
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting. So send us in your comments
Speaker 1: over at tips at thenewschunki dot com. A lot of
Speaker 1: experiences with that coming across the line. All right, one
Speaker 1: more person that will work in. Let's see tree climber
Speaker 1: wants to talk about this. Hey, Kate Austin.
Speaker 5: And pertaining tip cutting people out of your life.
Speaker 1: I've never done that over an issue that I was having,
Speaker 1: but I did one time because they remained to my father.
Speaker 5: And that's just the end of the road.
Speaker 1: You know, you mess around with somebody that I really
Speaker 1: care about and maybe maybe that's the cutting off point.
Speaker 1: You know, how do I close this? You got it?
Speaker 1: You got it, you got it right at the end,
Speaker 1: one more to prove we play these here stone cold.
Speaker 8: I ended up cutting off one of my best friends
Speaker 8: who ended up doing a lot of really good stuff
Speaker 8: for me. I had no vehicle. He would drive me around,
Speaker 8: took me to the grocery store. But I ended up
Speaker 8: cutting him off because when I would take him to
Speaker 8: the places that I enjoyed, my favorite restaurants, he would
Speaker 8: argue with these weight staff or send food back to
Speaker 8: go to Sea World, and he was arguing with the
Speaker 8: riot attendance. It finally came to be that one time
Speaker 8: he came and he I took him out to dinner
Speaker 8: and he caused a huge scene in the middle of
Speaker 8: a restaurant. I basically said, okay, this is it. I'm
Speaker 8: done with you, and I blocked him on everything. And
Speaker 8: that was within the past. Here it's a bummer, but
Speaker 8: you got to be able to you know, you can't
Speaker 8: make me look bad in the places that I'm a regular.
Speaker 8: It's just not cool.
Speaker 1: You know what, I love that I agree with you.
Speaker 1: That would be nightmarish if that was happening. When when
Speaker 1: you have a situation where it's like, hey, you're embarrassing me.
Speaker 1: These are places where I go and your your like
Speaker 1: poisonous with your personality. I gotta tell you, I love
Speaker 1: that we haven't heard any about politics yet. I love
Speaker 1: that part of this. Let us know what you think.
Speaker 1: Send us a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Although
Speaker 1: you know that's going to happen, right, It's at some
Speaker 1: point in time that's, you know, definitely going to happen.

Speaker 1: the Newsjunki dot com. Let's try to keep you alive here.
Speaker 1: We've been giving out advice on this show. And the
Speaker 1: advice on this show. Oh no, I hesitate to do
Speaker 1: this because I just I just remembered Seelane's in a
Speaker 1: bit of a He's in a bit of a pickle
Speaker 1: on the show a little bit. Yeah, what's up?
Speaker 3: Shoot?
Speaker 1: Should we talk about that first? Or we got we
Speaker 1: got a minor drama going on here. Let me take
Speaker 1: you back to one of the last commercial breaks. See
Speaker 1: Lane did a live read. He's talking about a great company,
Speaker 1: and in the middle of the live read, he just,
Speaker 1: from my perspective, he just left in his silence, and
Speaker 1: I started I started panicking. People were like, Sean's having
Speaker 1: a heart attack. At the studio. I'm running around in here,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do I do? I started to wonder.
Speaker 1: You know, I have a screen in here where I
Speaker 1: can see HQ and I could see all this stuff
Speaker 1: that's scheduled to play in the commercials and all that,
Speaker 1: and I started to ask myself, if I hit a
Speaker 1: button over here, will it do anything. I don't. I
Speaker 1: think I have you one only what I thought. So
Speaker 1: I was like I thought Selane had to go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom so bad that he finished his live read
Speaker 1: and left without hitting the commercial. We would have just
Speaker 1: I would have just been sitting here. I would have
Speaker 1: just been sitting here. You would have been uh it
Speaker 1: had been like that time that all the power went
Speaker 1: out in the building and we just didn't know what
Speaker 1: to do. We couldn't take a break for hours. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean we couldn't do anything for hours, just shut
Speaker 1: it all down. It's happened. It's happened many times. But
Speaker 1: see Lane goes, no, no, I got a problem. We're
Speaker 1: having some connection issues at h Q for iHeart and
Speaker 1: I can't fire off commercials. So at least during the
Speaker 1: last break, he's got the engineers in another studio and
Speaker 1: he points to them and they're hitting the commercial break
Speaker 1: for us right now is under me? Oh great? Oh great?
Speaker 1: So why it looks like I have three arms. That's
Speaker 1: even worse. Maybe I shouldn't do this. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll give you this setup here, here's
Speaker 1: what's happening. We've been giving advice on how to scare
Speaker 1: bears on this show for a very long time. If
Speaker 1: you encounter a bear in the wild, here's what you're
Speaker 1: supposed to do. And then somebody tried this and videotape
Speaker 1: themselves and it did not work. Like it. It did
Speaker 1: not work at all. Okay, that's first of all, bad
Speaker 1: advice on our part. I guess are they Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: we'll find out. But I want to play the clip
Speaker 1: of them trying to scare off the bear and what happened.
Speaker 1: But if you try to scare off a bear and
Speaker 1: it starts coming after you, I would take you a curse.
Speaker 1: Yeah I would. I would one think you a cur
Speaker 1: I have control. Again. Let me just bring up the panel, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, set this up for another minute, and I
Speaker 1: think we should be all right. Okay, so you can
Speaker 1: tell people I'm gonna have to run. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to run. Run. I don't want that to happen to
Speaker 1: you either. A hiker on Mount Wilson got more than
Speaker 1: they bargained for when trying to scare away a massive
Speaker 1: black bear standing in the middle of the trail. Harrowing
Speaker 1: cell phone video captured by Eric Chwee and his stepmother
Speaker 1: shows the moment a hiker ahead of them attempted to
Speaker 1: scare the animal off by jumping up and down and
Speaker 1: making noise with bells attached to part of their hiking gear.
Speaker 1: This is literally what the experts have told us. We've said, bears,
Speaker 1: you stand up, you're like.
Speaker 9: Ah, you know, you make yourself big, You scream, you
Speaker 9: jingle jangle whatever you could jingle jangle, and that's how
Speaker 9: you scare the bear off.
Speaker 1: But if you would have bought that gun, and you
Speaker 1: definitely wish you had a gun because I don't know,
Speaker 1: bear can probably take a couple of shots though, But
Speaker 1: they said it didn't work. True admitted he thought the
Speaker 1: hiker was a little crazy for taking that chance, and
Speaker 1: said he didn't know what the man was thinking in
Speaker 1: the moment. As a situation unfolded, he became increasingly concerned
Speaker 1: with the hiker's safety and his attempt to scare off
Speaker 1: the bear with the strategy we have been telling you
Speaker 1: about for years and years backfired in a big way
Speaker 1: and now I ask you the question, can I play this? Yes,
Speaker 1: you can play this. I have the dumb button right here.
Speaker 1: Let me just bring it up because it's an Instagram reo.
Speaker 1: I think, and this is supposed to be the person
Speaker 1: trying to scare the bear in the way we've tried.
Speaker 1: Are they're jumping and jingling the bears not phase, it's
Speaker 1: still coming at him. Oh, oh it's charging. Oh they're running,
Speaker 1: don't curse. They're hiding from the bear right now. I
Speaker 1: guess they're hiding in the bushes as the bear walks by.
Speaker 1: In this, the bear not smell them. The bear might
Speaker 1: not want to bother I think what happens here this
Speaker 1: is this is my theory, not bootsiest theory that it's
Speaker 1: a former circus bear, which the circus bear is like
Speaker 1: I love music, I don't. I don't think that's what
Speaker 1: the twist is. I think what's happening in a case
Speaker 1: like this is the experts will tell you to stand up,
Speaker 1: be big, make a whole bunch of noise and freak out.
Speaker 1: But when the bear is hungry as hell, it ain't
Speaker 1: gonna do nothing right. This might just be a bear
Speaker 1: that is just hungry it's gonna eat the human if
Speaker 1: it has to, whether you're jumping up or jingle jangling
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's a big bear too. Note to self,
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, all right, In some cases it does
Speaker 1: not work because this the bear actually went faster. Jingle
Speaker 1: jangle didn't work. What the bear thinks, and then the
Speaker 1: bear just starts booking. Yeah, I would be full speed
Speaker 1: hauling ass getting out of there as fast as I
Speaker 1: possibly could. Somebody says, bear mace is a better option,
Speaker 1: probably better than probably better than jingle jangle in which
Speaker 1: did absolutely nothing in this case. Or you can you
Speaker 1: can get away from the dump button for now. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank god you mother. Yeah exactly, I'm gonna do that
Speaker 1: to you. Did they fix your situation in there? Or
Speaker 1: we're to hang out? Okay? Good, good to hear. Good
Speaker 1: to hear that. We want to hear from you. Send
Speaker 1: us a dispatch. Go over to the newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Somebody says, speaking of those attacks, here's a woman who
Speaker 1: is attacked by a fox. This is true. It says
Speaker 1: police body camera released a fox attack. I'll hit this
Speaker 1: w HDH And.
Speaker 4: Now's a video on just one station.
Speaker 10: We're seeing the moment a Worster police officer shut himself
Speaker 10: on the wrong side of an animal attack.
Speaker 5: Police were trying to.
Speaker 1: Capture a fox. Oh my god, the fox a woman
Speaker 1: seventh Flora Caso joins us in the news rem in
Speaker 1: the video of the fox bit this woman and it
Speaker 1: was literally holding onto her leg. The animals are attacking again.
Speaker 1: The animal uprising is under way once more.
Speaker 10: A man of the woman who called police received some
Speaker 10: bad bites from the fox during the struggle. Now we
Speaker 10: know the fox was infected with rabies and she continues
Speaker 10: to recover.
Speaker 5: Oh cool.
Speaker 10: New body camera video shows Wooster police responding to a
Speaker 10: call for a woman who was attached by a fox
Speaker 10: outside of her home on Estra Street.
Speaker 1: That's freaky, man, No, it's holding on It shows the
Speaker 1: surveillance footage. The fox just saw her and went right
Speaker 1: for her. The fox was like no hesitation, straight for
Speaker 1: this lady, straight into attack mode. One of the weird
Speaker 1: things that happens with rabies. Now, I thought I saw
Speaker 1: something about rabies one time. Is it true that if
Speaker 1: an animal attacks you and has rabies, once you have rabies,
Speaker 1: there's nothing you could do. You have to get the
Speaker 1: I think you need very quick treatment because it sets
Speaker 1: in rather fast. Yeah, and then it has like hydrophobia
Speaker 1: with water, like if somebody hands you a glass of
Speaker 1: water and you're like, you can't bring yourself to drink
Speaker 1: the water. The animals are attacking the bears the.
Speaker 10: Foxes Seven News also obtaining the initial nine one one
Speaker 10: call made by a neighbor who initially thought the wild
Speaker 10: animal was a coyote.
Speaker 11: Coyote, older woman, Okay, I was shaking, she said, And.
Speaker 1: What a move. This woman took a different tact. The
Speaker 1: person tried to scare off the bear. They jingle jangled
Speaker 1: a bunch of bells. They made themselves big to try
Speaker 1: to get in the way and scare the bear away.
Speaker 1: It didn't work at all, this woman said. When the
Speaker 1: fox came for her and started attacking her, she jammed
Speaker 1: her foot at its mouth, Which isn't that I mean?
Speaker 1: And maybe there's some instinct that kicks in that. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that would have went through my mind.
Speaker 1: I think the only thing that went through my mind
Speaker 1: is a word I can't say over and over and
Speaker 1: over again. Screaming curse words would be yeah, it would
Speaker 1: be what I was doing. Absolutely, she shoved her foot
Speaker 1: in the fox's mouth. We got to figure this out again, folks,
Speaker 1: because the wildlife is fighting back, the animal uprising is
Speaker 1: back on once more. We got to keep an eye
Speaker 1: on all of this. Somebody says, I cut off my
Speaker 1: ex wife, Go figure, thank you, Brian shortened to the point. See,
Speaker 1: I mean but that you would think that's the norm.
Speaker 1: But I know a lot of people who have gotten
Speaker 1: divorced or were in serious relationships and broken up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that are still totally cool and like, don't have the
Speaker 1: kid factor. You know, when when I grew up and
Speaker 1: it was my parents, they had the kid factor or
Speaker 1: else maybe they wouldn't talk that much. Who knows, that's
Speaker 1: on the split. Depends on the situation. I know it
Speaker 1: happens a lot, though, Sea Laing, because I remember when
Speaker 1: when my son was born, I was eighteen years old,
Speaker 1: mind you all right, So my son, Dylan, lovely Dylan,
Speaker 1: great kid. He was born when I was eighteen years old.
Speaker 1: I think I think I was seventeen when his mother
Speaker 1: got pregnant and she was seventeen as well. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: not as illegal, no no, no, we were both seventeen
Speaker 1: years old, I believe, and we were eighteen I think
Speaker 1: when we had Dylan and he was born, I was
Speaker 1: still a kid, basically didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 1: We had only been together his mother and I for
Speaker 1: about three months. I'm guessing, I can't remember. This was
Speaker 1: so long ago. My son's twenty five. Now. We had
Speaker 1: only been together for about I would say three months,
Speaker 1: and then she gets pregnant, so we're together for that time,
Speaker 1: and they no, I thought. I thought we were going
Speaker 1: through the whole story, like we went to a party,
Speaker 1: took some acid. I'm not telling that part of it again.
Speaker 1: And uh, and so my parents, as you know, I've
Speaker 1: told the story. When I was seventeen eighteen, my parents
Speaker 1: just put me in the van with all my stuff
Speaker 1: and dropped me off at her house and I lived
Speaker 1: with her parents. And when Dylan was about three months old,
Speaker 1: we broke up. You know, we split up. We weren't
Speaker 1: going to be together anymore. And after that six month relationship, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, well we had you know, the before and
Speaker 1: after six months, Yeah, like nine months in the middle
Speaker 1: where you kind of story each other, kind of stuck
Speaker 1: with each other for babies weren't instant. It doesn't block
Speaker 1: that part up. Maybe how did you forget? For God's like,
Speaker 1: you just had a couple of years ago. So so we,
Speaker 1: you know, we split up when Dylan's about three four
Speaker 1: months old something like that, and we start going to
Speaker 1: court for child support and for custody and all those
Speaker 1: things that you're supposed to do. And when we're in court,
Speaker 1: we would meet each other there and I did, okay,
Speaker 1: how you doing, And we would sit down next to
Speaker 1: each other. We'd be laughing and talking, and then the
Speaker 1: judge would go case number seven, six four or five five,
Speaker 1: and then they would say his mother's name, and then
Speaker 1: would go and and and Sean Watson, and they would
Speaker 1: call me up. I'd go up there, and the judge
Speaker 1: would go, I just have to tell you too, how
Speaker 1: refreshing this is. I have seen couples all day long,
Speaker 1: and they sit one over here on the left side
Speaker 1: and one way over here on the right side, or
Speaker 1: one won't even be in the room with the other one.
Speaker 1: And then they tell me that they can't occupy the
Speaker 1: same space otherwise they're going to rip each other's faces off.
Speaker 1: And they said, and you two are sitting there next
Speaker 1: to each other, smiling and laughing, and and she goes
Speaker 1: you know you two should maybe try to patch it up,
Speaker 1: and I said, no, I don't think so. It's but
Speaker 1: but there's you know, some reasons, some reasons we'll keep
Speaker 1: you together on that mark, but a lot of people
Speaker 1: not so much. I guess one more on that topic
Speaker 1: cutting people off, which has people discussing this with us
Speaker 1: via email, Anonymous says to Tips of the news Junkie
Speaker 1: dot Com, I had to cut off my best friend
Speaker 1: of twenty four years. One night, a group of my
Speaker 1: friends went out drinking. My friend kept bringing up threesomes
Speaker 1: in s like that. I just kept brushing it off
Speaker 1: throughout the night. He's pounding liquor and I keep telling
Speaker 1: him to slow down, please slow down. He just hammered
Speaker 1: away on these and I don't want him to drive,
Speaker 1: as I lived a walking distance from the bar to
Speaker 1: my house, so he stays the night. The next morning,
Speaker 1: I wake up and he's gone, and my wife is
Speaker 1: acting weird. I keep asking her what's wrong, and she
Speaker 1: finally tells me that he hurt her last night. Now,
Speaker 1: I was drunk too, so I passed out when I
Speaker 1: got home, and I had no idea anything had happened.
Speaker 1: She had bruises, on her legs and arms. He's dead
Speaker 1: to me. Love the show, says anonymous. Yeah yeah, that's
Speaker 1: an okay one yeah yeah, also not for nothing. Call
Speaker 1: the cops one hundred percent. I don't know how long
Speaker 1: ago that was, but call the cops. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: what the whole story is. That's a fair enough reason
Speaker 1: to cut any individual off. I would say, let us
Speaker 1: know what you think. Maybe you have stories like this
Speaker 1: as well. It's a quick break back with more it's
Speaker 1: coming up next than the news junk kie I saw
Speaker 1: so yesterday. I think congressional approval rates. See if I
Speaker 1: look this up real quick, because I was like, god,
Speaker 1: imagine if they did that about talk show hosts and
Speaker 1: they showed approval rates where as bad as they are
Speaker 1: for our elected officials in Washington right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would just say, this is shut the doors on
Speaker 1: the whole industry. Just stop doing it. Let's stop doing
Speaker 1: talk radio. If this was the maybe it is, maybe
Speaker 1: that's what people really think about most talk radio hosts.
Speaker 1: But the approval rates just generally speaking of politicians in Washington,
Speaker 1: I think it was like twenty percent or something that
Speaker 1: came out the other day. Alop website says that if
Speaker 1: it's not even saying the approval rate, it's saying the
Speaker 1: disapproval rate. Disapproval of Congress ties record high at eighty
Speaker 1: six percent. It means they have a fourteen percent approval rate.
Speaker 1: Eighty materrect thing here, you're right, eighty six percent of
Speaker 1: people hate Congress. Actually right, it's it's weird. It sounds
Speaker 1: even worse when you start reading it because it says
Speaker 1: American's approval of Congress has fallen to ten percent, barely
Speaker 1: above its all time low of nine percent. Disapproval has
Speaker 1: climbed to eighty six So there's there's like a middle
Speaker 1: ground where people just don't care. And then the approval
Speaker 1: rating is ten percent. Is there anything that's that unpopular
Speaker 1: in the United States of America? Ten percent? Ten percent
Speaker 1: of Americans think, you know what, those folks in Washington
Speaker 1: are doing a great job. And most of these people
Speaker 1: are regular, normal people who don't even care about politics.
Speaker 1: They're not like in goal in politics that doesn't take
Speaker 1: over their whole lives. Eighty six percent of people disapprove
Speaker 1: of Congress. That is a condemnation of what these losers
Speaker 1: are doing in Washington, DC. And how long is this okay,
Speaker 1: the thing that I'm looking at that Sea Lane was
Speaker 1: bringing up has been measuring this since nineteen seventy six,
Speaker 1: and it's never been this bad. It's never been anywhere
Speaker 1: near this bad. In fact, the disapproval back in like
Speaker 1: the seventies was, you know, forties, fifty percent disapproved. That's fine,
Speaker 1: I would expect that your party's not in power or something.
Speaker 1: In the eighties forty two percent approve, forty nine percent disapproval.
Speaker 1: There's something that people will not tell you, and you
Speaker 1: could see it in this chart in so many other ones.
Speaker 1: In two thousand and five, disapproval of Congress was at
Speaker 1: fifty four percent. Approval was at forty five, right, two
Speaker 1: thousand and five is the year we lost it all.
Speaker 1: It is the year we lost it all. It is
Speaker 1: no coincidence at all that in two thousand and five
Speaker 1: the platforms YouTube and many other big social platforms I
Speaker 1: think Facebook, they all came out right around two thousand
Speaker 1: and five and started to gain in popularity. Social media
Speaker 1: came forward, no coincidence here, came forward in two thousand
Speaker 1: and five. All the crazy identity politics stuff and all
Speaker 1: the weird stuff that everybody's been fighting over for the
Speaker 1: past twenty years. All started right there in two thousand
Speaker 1: and five, and you could see that's when did we
Speaker 1: just completely split on this, just totally from two thousand
Speaker 1: and five. Better days. Things were so great. We used
Speaker 1: to laugh, We used to watch comedy movies in the theater.
Speaker 1: We used to enjoy ourselves. We used to do this,
Speaker 1: We used to do this, not take everything so seriously.
Speaker 1: Remember those days, Remember when we didn't take everything so
Speaker 1: seriously or a particularly No, two thousand and five, those
Speaker 1: of the days. Oh, they took it away from us.
Speaker 1: Everybody Now everybody hates each other, and everybody hates Congress.
Speaker 1: Eighty six percent disapproval. These congressmen and women who nobody
Speaker 1: likes ten percent approve eighty six percent disapproval. Right, ten
Speaker 1: percent of the country approves in what Congress is doing
Speaker 1: right now. It does not shock me that that took
Speaker 1: an absolute nose dive after all of the social media
Speaker 1: outlets started to populate out there. Did you that you
Speaker 1: notice where approval spikes are they did? No shock to
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. Yep. Yeah. The only thing that
Speaker 1: brought us together when the Saudis got into a bunch
Speaker 1: of planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center
Speaker 1: and a couple other places that day two thousand and one,
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. Huge approval, huge presidential approval, brought
Speaker 1: us together for like five seconds and then completely apart
Speaker 1: from there. Nobody likes these people. They like internet stuff more,
Speaker 1: they like social media more. There's so much more focused
Speaker 1: on saying something. To try to do a gotcha moment,
Speaker 1: to release a video and get like ten percent of
Speaker 1: the country to add avoid them and that like that
Speaker 1: whole thing is absolutely crazy to me. But there are
Speaker 1: ten percent approval of Congress right now. Anyhow, What I
Speaker 1: was getting at there is you might get from ten
Speaker 1: percent to I would say twelve percent. If we can
Speaker 1: do something. Let's do an upgrade. It's time, it's time.
Speaker 1: I want somebody to donate this because it's the United
Speaker 1: States government and we shouldn't have to pay taxpayer dollars
Speaker 1: for it. We need a new microphone system in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. For these dummies so that we can at
Speaker 1: least better hear the drivell that's coming out of their mouth.
Speaker 1: And we certainly need one for RFK because RFK Junior
Speaker 1: when he's out there talking, you know, bless his soul.
Speaker 1: It's not as fault. He has health issues, but they
Speaker 1: could work around him. And his health issues cause him
Speaker 1: to breathe heavily sometimes. And when you heard him he
Speaker 1: was in Washington this week. Listen to what happens when
Speaker 1: he gets in front of the microphone.
Speaker 12: You have done among the many that you've described in
Speaker 12: your testimony in that context. In your testimony, you identified
Speaker 12: nutrition as a bedrock of health and one of the
Speaker 12: primary lovers for treating and preventing chronic disease.
Speaker 1: He sounds like Darth Vader. The force is strong with
Speaker 1: this one. Now, why not mute this until he's speaking
Speaker 1: back to the politicians And it's not just him. It
Speaker 1: happens with a whole bunch of other people. And you're
Speaker 1: bringing hear noises. You hear that like if you ever
Speaker 1: hear somebody moving their microphone around whilst doing a broadcast,
Speaker 1: that is a dumb person. It takes no effort. You've
Speaker 1: never heard me do it once in all of my broadcasting.
Speaker 1: I don't need to grab a micro phone or moving around.
Speaker 1: What kind of absolute dummy. And you don't have to
Speaker 1: touch things. So make it so there's one little button
Speaker 1: to the side and then when they are actually ready
Speaker 1: to speak, they can press that button and we can
Speaker 1: hear them nice and clear, and otherwise we don't hear.
Speaker 13: The size that it's imperative for our nation's healthcare providers
Speaker 13: to be equipped to incorporate nutrition into patient care, securing
Speaker 13: commitments from more than fifty medical schools to provide at
Speaker 13: least forty hours.
Speaker 1: Of nutrition education. You hear what's going on. I think
Speaker 1: we need a bit of an upgrade there. I think
Speaker 1: there is a bit of an issue. Somebody says sounds
Speaker 1: like an old pug trying to walk up steps, which
Speaker 1: is a fair point. Fairpoint for sure. Faith disturbing set
Speaker 1: us a dispatch on the website. It's easy too fine.
Speaker 1: Over at thenewschunkie dot com. Here's somebody who says they
Speaker 1: cut you off, Celen. Okay, I don't want to start
Speaker 1: some drama here, but this person is they cut you off.
Speaker 1: We were discussing at the beginning of the show. I
Speaker 1: think forty people ish have said they've cut somebody out
Speaker 1: of their life in the last year. And this person,
Speaker 1: who shall remain anonymous, says I had to cut off sealing.
Speaker 1: I guess, first of all, immediately shall remain anonymous is
Speaker 1: kind of a kind of an unstarter. Here, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? I said, this person will remain anonymous
Speaker 1: for the time being. We do not know who they are.
Speaker 1: I guess. I hope you guys are doing well. So
Speaker 1: I had to cut off ceiling man.
Speaker 2: We used to hang out the cases at the beaver
Speaker 2: Dam and stuff, and then he decided to.
Speaker 5: Get married and have a baby and all that good stuff.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I had just cut him off.
Speaker 6: San.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sam, And now he talks about it on the radio.
Speaker 1: You will listen to Jackson Gross Listen Jackson here is
Speaker 1: okay too?
Speaker 3: No no.
Speaker 1: Another said sorry about the work noise. So I absolutely
Speaker 1: am not going to be playing that. I don't want
Speaker 1: to play this in your vans making a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of noise in the background. That's that's no good. Here
Speaker 1: is let's go to muff mouth right here with a dispatch.
Speaker 1: What's going down, junkies? Hey, so interesting, fun little factoid.
Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert the pitcher who caught the baseball with his shirt.
Speaker 1: He also graduated from Stetson University. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he graduated or he just went from the MA went
Speaker 1: from stets into the major leagues, but he's a local.
Speaker 1: Oh really, wow, I mean that's just so so freak.
Speaker 1: We started the show with this clip. That's what he's
Speaker 1: talking about, folks. The clip had a pitcher and the
Speaker 1: ball when it was hit at him disappeared. The ball
Speaker 1: completely disappeared, and the picture took a second and realized
Speaker 1: the ball had gone into his shirt. It went into
Speaker 1: his shirt hole and it was inside his jersey. And
Speaker 1: then we were struggling over whether or not that was
Speaker 1: an out or not, and it was a rule to hit.
Speaker 1: What would happen next? Somebody says, I, I also cut
Speaker 1: my ties with a bear. Well, yeah, I mean that
Speaker 1: I think could be. It could be fun. All Right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break here. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll be getting geared up before you know it for
Speaker 1: Fritz on the Street, the greatest game in all of radio.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. You could play along with us.
Speaker 1: I also want to talk about the big controversy that's
Speaker 1: brewing out there today. We have to talk about what
Speaker 1: was happening with the New York Times that everybody's arguing
Speaker 1: about online. We got a lot of things to get to.
Speaker 1: Updates on Sloth World, and a whole bunch more. It's
Speaker 1: all coming up next on The News Junkie. I did
Speaker 1: a short video on this. If you're following The News
Speaker 1: Junkie on YouTube or Facebook or anything, to give it
Speaker 1: some love. So maybe it gets a shot. It'll probably
Speaker 1: fall flat. This one. It doesn't seem like a banger.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's got I kind of thought
Speaker 1: it was fascinating. I watched it right before the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the gambling one. Yeah, I was just talking with chat
Speaker 1: about this, and I said, how you people in chat
Speaker 1: who are watching the show live, how many of you
Speaker 1: have spent any money gambling on poly market or Calshie
Speaker 1: or any of these platforms where it's like prediction markets
Speaker 1: and it's like a loophole where you can gamble on things.
Speaker 1: And then a couple of people said yes, But a
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, no, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: trust that. And one of the reasons why people don't
Speaker 1: trust that, and they have every right to feel this way,
Speaker 1: is because they feel like people in power in the
Speaker 1: United States and around the world are cheating these markets.
Speaker 1: A lot of times it's people either in the White
Speaker 1: House or in Washington, DC. Who get a little piece
Speaker 1: of inside knowledge and then say it's about Iran or something.
Speaker 1: They make some bets on these prediction markets because they
Speaker 1: know what the answer is going to be. We've seen
Speaker 1: this before. There are a lot of cheaters on these
Speaker 1: prediction markets. On polymarket or Calshi if you're not familiar,
Speaker 1: they're just their websites where you can bet on real
Speaker 1: life think. I mean, how is it not kind of
Speaker 1: enticing to have a real big website like calshie or
Speaker 1: a real big website like polymarket. It's taken all these
Speaker 1: bets and you go, there's something on here that I
Speaker 1: kind of know about that I have some sort of
Speaker 1: maybe even influence in. I mean, how easy is this
Speaker 1: to just I mean, how tempting is this tempting to
Speaker 1: just throw down some money knowing that I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: a big reward. They're making huge money on this. And
Speaker 1: then this story that I told in this video I did.
Speaker 1: I'll retell here very quickly. There are some people who
Speaker 1: were betting on of all things. If I go to
Speaker 1: the website polymarket, right, if I go over to polymarket
Speaker 1: dot com, there's lots of things you can bet on.
Speaker 1: Who's going to be the twenty twenty six NBA champion.
Speaker 1: You can bet on news, politics, sports, e sports, geopolitics, tech, culture,
Speaker 1: the economy, all these different things. I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: website right now. People spend tons of money on this.
Speaker 1: They've bet millions and millions and millions of dollars on stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's able to exist because of some loopholes in Congress.
Speaker 1: Somebody's saying, I bet that Sean will renew his contract.
Speaker 1: Any takers, I might take that, I might take the
Speaker 1: I might take the other side of that. Actually, But
Speaker 1: you can bet on all of these things, and then
Speaker 1: sometimes people have inside information so they cheat. Now, there
Speaker 1: were some people who clicked this tab over here on polymarket,
Speaker 1: which strangely enough is betting on the weather. And I'm
Speaker 1: watching right now. This is highest temperature in Hong Kong tomorrow,
Speaker 1: and one hundred and twenty six thousand dollars has been
Speaker 1: bet on. That highest temperature in Soul in South Korea tomorrow,
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. And you know, on
Speaker 1: down the line, people are betting on these temperatures. Now,
Speaker 1: there was one that was pretty popular that people would
Speaker 1: bet a lot of money on and it was in Paris, France.
Speaker 1: So people were betting on what the temperature would be
Speaker 1: and they just watched the temperature go up and down
Speaker 1: and they go, oh, come on, I want to die
Speaker 1: and oh not, got need to drop a little bit,
Speaker 1: and they'd win or lose a lot of money based
Speaker 1: on what the temperature was in Paris. Somebody said, well,
Speaker 1: where does this data come from? Where are they pulling
Speaker 1: this information from? And they found out through whatever manner
Speaker 1: and way that in Paris, right outside of Charles de
Speaker 1: Gaull Airport, which is one of the big airports in France,
Speaker 1: right outside of Charles de gaul Airport, there was a
Speaker 1: temperature reading station and this temperature reading station was the
Speaker 1: one that was feeding the betting website Polymarket with that information.
Speaker 1: They said, look, I can access this thing. And on
Speaker 1: multiple occasions, this person bet tens of thousands of dollars
Speaker 1: on an extreme temperature and then went over to the
Speaker 1: temperature sensor outside the airport in Paris and hit it
Speaker 1: with a blow dryer until the temperature spiked to the
Speaker 1: number that he bet the money on, and then everybody
Speaker 1: goes whoa and then he won. This guy on two
Speaker 1: separate occasions, guy or gal, probably a guy. This person
Speaker 1: won on two separate occasions almost fifty thousand dollars because
Speaker 1: they were going to where the censor was and hitting
Speaker 1: it with a hair dryer to spike the temperature, to
Speaker 1: rig the system to win the money. So if they
Speaker 1: were betting tens of thousands of dollars only to win fifty,
Speaker 1: the payout doesn't seem like it's that much. I think
Speaker 1: they didn't have to risk that much because it was
Speaker 1: such an anomaly number. And some people are saying, well,
Speaker 1: this genius, that's a brilliant move. Some people are saying, like,
Speaker 1: you know, this is not fair. Why would you ever
Speaker 1: bet any money on this platform? I tend to go
Speaker 1: with that, like I don't trust any of this stuff.
Speaker 1: When money is involved. People are dishonest when money is involved.
Speaker 1: People will cheat when money is involved. People in Washington,
Speaker 1: DC will use insider information to do what we threw
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart even worse than what we threw Martha Stewart
Speaker 1: behind bars for, albeit at a pretty easy facility. And
Speaker 1: when we say behind bars from Martha Stewart, but you
Speaker 1: get the point, like, people bet money on this stuff,
Speaker 1: and then somebody just goes, where's the temperature thing? All right?
Speaker 1: I can go over there and I can take advantage
Speaker 1: of this. So crazy, and I wonder if anybody listening
Speaker 1: bets any money on this, do you trust any of that?
Speaker 1: Because I my faith in these things is so low.
Speaker 1: I already have such little faith that if I'm betting
Speaker 1: on a sports game, the outcome is going to be fair.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many things you can bet on
Speaker 1: where you're like, hey, I actually trust that I have
Speaker 1: a fair shot at doing this and somebody else isn't
Speaker 1: utilizing insider information or cheating to steal it from me.
Speaker 1: But that's what's happening. I mean, they use a hair
Speaker 1: dryer to make the temperature spike four degrees and they
Speaker 1: won forty something thousand dollars. Why are they allowed to
Speaker 1: do that? It sounds like they got caught. They believe
Speaker 1: they know the person that did this because they've watched
Speaker 1: the bets, and I know that France is investigating, but
Speaker 1: it's France's climate outlet that's investigating this. They're basically investigating
Speaker 1: this because they think it's going to make people lose
Speaker 1: faith in the temperature measurements for other things like when
Speaker 1: people talk about climate change and stuff and they talk
Speaker 1: about the temperature. But I mean, how do they know
Speaker 1: specifically it was a hair dryer if they don't have
Speaker 1: some sort of footage or you know, they don't know
Speaker 1: who it is. They need to have some sort of proof.
Speaker 1: They said a heating mechanism, likely a hair dryer, because
Speaker 1: they know that they had to have like a handheld
Speaker 1: device that would have spiked the temperature to cheat on
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's just it's something else to me. It's
Speaker 1: a new part of our economy. I like that people
Speaker 1: have to put their money where their mouth is. I
Speaker 1: think that's good. You want to talk about politics and
Speaker 1: news and stuff and put your money where your mouth is.
Speaker 1: Otherwise you're just probably out there trying to get likes
Speaker 1: on some social media platform and you're actually grifting out
Speaker 1: there on the internet. You know you're going after those people.
Speaker 1: But it's so it's just it's wild how that works.
Speaker 1: So I ask of you, do you trust that? Let
Speaker 1: us know? Sent a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: More and more coming in about the upcoming Michael Jackson
Speaker 1: movie Good or Bad. Because I haven't seen much good.
Speaker 1: I told you yesterday this, hang, do I have this story?
Speaker 1: Old on? I got to bring this up. I think
Speaker 1: it was a Deadline story about Michael Jackson. Okay, the
Speaker 1: tweet you read yesterday I really liked about. Uh, this
Speaker 1: would be like stopping OJ Simpson's movie after he won
Speaker 1: the Heisman. Yeah. Yeah, the the Michael Jackson movie that's
Speaker 1: coming out. It doesn't show his abuse and it stops
Speaker 1: when the Bad album was about to come out. That's
Speaker 1: when the movie about Michael Jackson in his life and
Speaker 1: career ends. And then see right. One of the tweets said, hey,
Speaker 1: this is like an OJ Simpson movie ending after OJ
Speaker 1: won the Heisman And you go, huh, what else happened
Speaker 1: with that guy? Any other interesting parts of the story,
Speaker 1: Or this is like an Epstein movie where you're like,
Speaker 1: and then he was a really successful financier. You go, well, uh,
Speaker 1: anything else that happened after that went? Hold on? You
Speaker 1: said he had a plane. What happened with the plane
Speaker 1: in the island? And You're like, no, no, no, no, don't worry.
Speaker 1: The headline is so hilarious to me. This is real.
Speaker 1: This is from Deadline. It says Michael stars that's the
Speaker 1: name of the movie about Michael Jackson that's coming out.
Speaker 1: Michael Stars explained why his biopic doesn't include child abuse allegations. Quote,
Speaker 1: there could be a sequel, That's what I said, I
Speaker 1: and follow for part two literally the meme Sea Light
Speaker 1: said yesterday when asked why they don't put the allegations
Speaker 1: about Michael Jackson in the Michael movie. The people's They're like, well,
Speaker 1: you don't know, there could be a sequel. Has there
Speaker 1: ever been a biography about somebody that has been presented
Speaker 1: in two parts or more? I mean, if there was,
Speaker 1: it would be like FDR or something. It wouldn't be
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be Michael Jackson. They go, oh, that part
Speaker 1: of we are totally going to address that. But what
Speaker 1: we figured we would do it in part two and
Speaker 1: we'll get the information out there then. And this is
Speaker 1: this is such cope and nonsense. You know what happened
Speaker 1: here they decided to do and never be shocked when
Speaker 1: this is the case. They decided to do a movie
Speaker 1: with the Michael Jackson estates approval needed for anything done
Speaker 1: to the film and his own nephew playing him. Yes,
Speaker 1: the family was directly involved because why because they wanted
Speaker 1: those songs. They wanted Billy Jean, they wanted Smooth Criminal,
Speaker 1: they wanted the songs in the movie. But also didn't
Speaker 1: the family or the producers on the family's order spend
Speaker 1: a lot of money on reshoots to kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: stop at that moment. Yes, yeah, that's what led them
Speaker 1: to cutting all the scenes that made it end when
Speaker 1: the bad album comes out and they go, Michael Jackson
Speaker 1: was a troubled kid with many problems, and then he
Speaker 1: learned to do a thing he called the moon walk.
Speaker 1: He sang a couple of great songs. It was a
Speaker 1: big star. And that's the Michael Jackson story. And he go,
Speaker 1: he's still got a black face on this one. We
Speaker 1: have not gone far enough. There's no propa fall, there's
Speaker 1: no little kids, there's no Jesus true, there's not what's
Speaker 1: going on here. And I just love the cope and
Speaker 1: that they said hold on. This is from the Deadline story.
Speaker 1: As Michael Jackson fans flocked to the theaters to see
Speaker 1: the biopic about the king of pop, many are questioning
Speaker 1: how the film avoids his child's sexual abuse allegations against
Speaker 1: the artists Michael starrs Coleman Domingo and Nia Long, who
Speaker 1: play his parents, Joe and Catherine Jackson, recently explain why
Speaker 1: the movie doesn't dive into the accusations that started in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three. The film takes place from the sixties
Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty eight, so it does not go into
Speaker 1: the first allegation. So basically, we centered in on the
Speaker 1: makings of Michaels and it's an intimate portrait of who
Speaker 1: he is. They said, there's a possibility of there being
Speaker 1: a part two that may deal with some other things
Speaker 1: that happened afterwards. Yeah, who isn't going to show up
Speaker 1: for part two? The part where Michael Jackson diddles the
Speaker 1: kids and gives them wine. It'll sell all kinds of
Speaker 1: tickets to the box office. His parents will, and not
Speaker 1: his parents, his estate will undoubtedly approve the use of
Speaker 1: the songs for that one, right this it'd be like
Speaker 1: the Freddy Mercury movie Bohemian Rhapsody, And the movie ends
Speaker 1: with Freddie Mercury walking into the doctor's office and be
Speaker 1: like I'm famous and everything's great, and the docs like
Speaker 1: I've got some news. That's the post credit scene. This
Speaker 1: is the post credit scene.
Speaker 5: Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: Me like, this is insane to me. So I ask
Speaker 1: of you again, anybody planning a watch watching this? I
Speaker 1: think internationally it'll still make some money because Michael Jackson
Speaker 1: like them, dislike them, somewhere in between. He's still a
Speaker 1: massive star out there. But that is cope to say
Speaker 1: that we're not putting those accusations in there because I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe there's gonna be a part two. Well
Speaker 1: let us know, let us know what you think. Send
Speaker 1: a dispatch over at thenewschunkie dot com right now. Ryan
Speaker 1: on YouTube says, maybe they could do Jesus juice collector cups.
Speaker 1: They do a lot of the merch now, that could
Speaker 1: be a possibility. We shall see, all right. When we

Speaker 1: I learned that I'm not allowed to burn down my
Speaker 1: own house because I still have a mortgage. I did
Speaker 1: not know that there was not within my rights that
Speaker 1: if I own my property outright, then I could do
Speaker 1: whatever I want and burn my house down, but since
Speaker 1: I have a mortgage, the bank frowns upon those types
Speaker 1: of acts. That adds up.
Speaker 6: That's one of the many PSAs that you can hear
Speaker 6: on Saturday mornings, you know, telling you what not to do,
Speaker 6: like don't burn down your house.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Somebody said, I know this sounds like
Speaker 1: an insult, but it's not. All right, this is not
Speaker 1: an insult. Somebody said, I don't have a mortgage, and
Speaker 1: I don't really care that much about mortgages, but I
Speaker 1: listen every week because it's actually a really good show.
Speaker 1: See that. That's like the best. That's the highest pray.
Speaker 1: I think you could say to somebody it was I'd
Speaker 1: be like somebody listening to this show and be like,
Speaker 1: I don't have a news I don't know much about news,
Speaker 1: but you know, I guess it's a good show.
Speaker 6: I think that's That's probably the most common comment that
Speaker 6: we get is uh, you know, people text in and
Speaker 6: say say that on site, I got Fritz there, I
Speaker 6: got MJ.
Speaker 1: It's a great show. We have a good time. We're
Speaker 1: all funny people and it's fun to do. Yeah, people
Speaker 1: seem to love it. That's fantastic. Uh, well, Donna is
Speaker 1: going to be hanging out with us to do Fritz
Speaker 1: on the Street, and we've uh, we've also got different
Speaker 1: ways connect with him, which would be interesting. You got
Speaker 1: your own studio, huh, he's just built up a studio.
Speaker 1: Is it in your office of your house?
Speaker 6: It's in my house. But it was it wasn't kind of,
Speaker 6: it wasn't really optional. When COVID happened, Ihart said, you
Speaker 6: can't come in here anymore, so I had to do
Speaker 6: a studio at home.
Speaker 1: Oh true. COVID really Uh, COVID really banked on a
Speaker 1: lot of these microphone manufacturers and mixer people and all
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. Yeah, there was a point in time there. Obviously.
Speaker 1: The moment that happened is when I started broadcasting from here.
Speaker 1: We started doing the whole show from here, and it
Speaker 1: was hard to get equipment right in that moment. It
Speaker 1: was hard to get video cameras and microphones and studio
Speaker 1: equipment because everybody was trying to do the same thing.
Speaker 1: And I think churches, a lot of churches were trying
Speaker 1: to do that same thing, so they just started building
Speaker 1: up equipment. Did you build out like a whole the
Speaker 1: whole studio your place.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I've got two mixers, I mean a
Speaker 6: mixer and a couple of microphones. It's not it's nothing crazy,
Speaker 6: it's just it's in my it's my guest room slash studio.
Speaker 1: There you go, yeah, I mean I this is when
Speaker 1: I started, and then I just kept building things and
Speaker 1: building things. You had to get a bigger house to
Speaker 1: get a bigger studio because he had a guest room there.
Speaker 1: There there was an attached bathroom. It was the only studio,
Speaker 1: the only studio I've ever done any work from that
Speaker 1: had its its own attached bathroom. And I would always
Speaker 1: steal his column, I always because it give me some
Speaker 1: credit for it, because there was at that time with
Speaker 1: the attached bathroom. Because it was just a guest bedroom
Speaker 1: at a high rise plays and I built the studio
Speaker 1: into the guest bedroom. I set up the guest bathroom
Speaker 1: like it was a bathroom at like a like a restaurant, right,
Speaker 1: So it has one of those little mirrored trays. That's
Speaker 1: why I kept stealing his cologne, because it looked like
Speaker 1: a kind of the kind of place where a bathroom
Speaker 1: attendant would be, like, you know, giving you a couple
Speaker 1: of spritzes and handing you paper towels. It was all
Speaker 1: of that without the bathroom attendant. Did you leave a
Speaker 1: couple of bucks?
Speaker 3: No? No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: He didn't leave a dime. Lucky if I bought a
Speaker 1: couple of beers. Those guys always make me feel uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: like I feel like I have to let them give
Speaker 1: me the towel. And you know, you use the handicapstall,
Speaker 1: use the handicap stall that has its own sink. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We still come out and they still do
Speaker 1: that thing where they look at the palm of their
Speaker 1: hand and they look at you and they look at
Speaker 1: the palm of their hand and they're like, ah, God,
Speaker 1: get my dollar and take a pack of cigarettes, and
Speaker 1: you're out of there. And I've done this, don I've
Speaker 1: I've walked out before where I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: have any cash and the guys like, I'll take venmo.
Speaker 1: We're talking about man, am I supposed to do here?
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous technology, right, Yeah? So I started building
Speaker 1: up all that stuff. But back in the day, when
Speaker 1: I had my first studio in the high rise apartment downtown,
Speaker 1: it was I had no idea how to set any
Speaker 1: of this stuff up. I still don't. Actually, Austin, who
Speaker 1: got that really low rate through that mortgage, you guy done,
Speaker 1: is the one who builds my studio stuff out for me,
Speaker 1: and he's a whiz on all of this stuff. But
Speaker 1: the first studio that I built out, I was so
Speaker 1: dumb that I made the studio the desk that I
Speaker 1: sat out was facing the wall, so like when we
Speaker 1: would do a show over there, like we do secret
Speaker 1: shows and Sea Lane would be I think we might
Speaker 1: even had some shows we did where you were like
Speaker 1: behind me, right or did I switch that before? I
Speaker 1: think you switched it before. Yeah, the first way I
Speaker 1: said it was I was staring at the real dumb
Speaker 1: setup before. And then we kind of fixed that the
Speaker 1: guest would be behind me, which you know, allows them
Speaker 1: to not have to see my face, but still it's
Speaker 1: not an ideal situation for communication. And even this we're
Speaker 1: able to see each other. I could see Don on
Speaker 1: the on the monitor here in front of me in
Speaker 1: the studio. But yeah, I didn't know you were into
Speaker 1: that stuff and had that that whole setup going. That
Speaker 1: makes it so much easier, right, for sure? For sure?
Speaker 6: I mean for about two years we came in here,
Speaker 6: you know, every Saturday morning. But uh, at first I
Speaker 6: wasn't too too hot about it, but now I wouldn't
Speaker 6: change it for the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fun. You have fun to any like radio?
Speaker 1: Oh I love it? Yeah, and you know you Caral,
Speaker 1: Sean and Don prefer to not be here. Ye, right,
Speaker 1: Why why would I want to be there? If you
Speaker 1: heard how loud the air conditioner is at that place?
Speaker 6: I heard Jesus got I got to get out of
Speaker 6: bed by eight fifty five for the nine am show now, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's the way to go right there. You
Speaker 1: could do it in your underwear if you want. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know you guys doing video? Do you stream video?
Speaker 1: Not so far? I mean, now I should, I really should.
Speaker 1: Everybody tells me I should. I just haven't. Haven't haven't
Speaker 1: done it yet. I've spent some time with you and
Speaker 1: and your wife, and uh, mostly we're usually someplace drinking,
Speaker 1: hanging out, having good time together. But I'm excited to
Speaker 1: get to know you a little bit better on the
Speaker 1: show here. Did you did you grow up or or
Speaker 1: at some point you're like, did you like listening to talk?
Speaker 1: Radio a lot. Have you been into talk radio?
Speaker 6: I'm literally I know you hear it all the time,
Speaker 6: but I'm one of those people that's been in oral
Speaker 6: end of my whole life. And I've been listening to
Speaker 6: this station, you know since uh Party City days when
Speaker 6: RUSS was on Saturdays and back in the day. Really
Speaker 6: uh yeah, way way back. I've been listening to the station.
Speaker 1: Any what was your you have a favorite show over
Speaker 1: the years, anything that you really was like, this was
Speaker 1: the thing that you think about when you're doing your
Speaker 1: show on the weekends.
Speaker 6: Now, well, of course Jim Phillips, but you know, every everybody,
Speaker 6: everybody you know that's that's everybody's model, role model, so
Speaker 6: to speak. But the one that always makes me laugh
Speaker 6: was the one back in the day. I don't even
Speaker 6: know if you ever heard of. It was called Crying,
Speaker 6: Loving and Leaving with the what.
Speaker 1: Was that guy's name? Uh, I don't know. Crying, Loving
Speaker 1: and Leaving that that's not the shortest title for a
Speaker 1: radio show I've ever heard, Crying, Loving and Leaving about
Speaker 1: It was like it was in the midday and it
Speaker 1: was like about it was like what's going on in
Speaker 1: your life?
Speaker 6: It was about your sex, life is about your boyfriend
Speaker 6: done you wrong? It was crying, loving and leaving.
Speaker 1: It was that was on this station. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it was was a guy named Ed Hartley. Does that
Speaker 1: sound right? I can look it up. Let me see
Speaker 1: what this. There's an Ed guy that we had, Yeah,
Speaker 1: not Ed till it was before that crying, loving and
Speaker 1: leaving in the midday with Ed Harley. I see it
Speaker 1: at Harley a host of crying, loving and leaving. Here
Speaker 1: was a It doesn't have years on it, It's got
Speaker 1: before they came up with years. The invention of the year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it was early nineties probably, Okay, oh wow,
Speaker 1: all right, wow. That guy's ears are either ringing or
Speaker 1: he is no longer with us. I am not sure.
Speaker 6: His big deal was people would call in and say
Speaker 6: it was their birthday and he would play this big
Speaker 6: fanfare music and he got super annoying.
Speaker 1: It was just like it was. It was campy, uh
Speaker 1: intentionally right, got it? But back then, don you didn't
Speaker 1: have nearly as much competition, so people were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll take what I can get. You know, now, it
Speaker 1: could be the weekend and you could go, well, I
Speaker 1: don't have as much competition on the weekends. Hell no,
Speaker 1: you got competition from every angle. Every single show's got
Speaker 1: something on every single station's got something on every podcast,
Speaker 1: every five inches. It's just an endless thing. I got
Speaker 1: no competition on Saturdays.
Speaker 6: That's why I always say we're the most talked about,
Speaker 6: the most listened to, the most live show on Saturday
Speaker 6: mornings between nine and ten thirty.
Speaker 1: They'll bring back until they bring back to love it
Speaker 1: dragon or leave it or I hope I'm not killing
Speaker 1: him off on unintentionally. I mean, I thought it was
Speaker 1: like sixty five then, so I don't know. Well, I
Speaker 1: will say that the picture of him on the website
Speaker 1: that I found is in black and white. It's the
Speaker 1: only the only other picture in black and white is Fritz.
Speaker 1: So but that's that seems a stylistic choice. Fritz is
Speaker 1: actually about four hundred. Yeah, I would believe it. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: we're excited to have you on board. I think you're great,
Speaker 1: and make sure you're listening on weekends. If you're here
Speaker 1: in town. If you're elsewhere, you can follow along. Probably
Speaker 1: can you help ab out people from other cities and stuff,
Speaker 1: or you've only focused in Central Florida.
Speaker 6: Oh no, we're all over Florida. I do un good
Speaker 6: us to Pensacola, and we can do other stuff. Commercial loans,
Speaker 6: SBA loans, we do those in all fifty states, but
Speaker 6: residential primaries all of Florida.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, support people who support the show, and
Speaker 1: that mortgage guy Don absolutely does that. We appreciate him.
Speaker 1: If you need any help with any of this stuff.
Speaker 1: Where could people go? Go to the website that mortgage
Speaker 1: got Don dot com. There you go, that mortgage guy
Speaker 1: Don dot com. Oh can we talk real quick while
Speaker 1: we have them. We've never gone over this with with
Speaker 1: Don obviously. All right, do people ever tell you that
Speaker 1: they misunderstand the jingle? I get people.
Speaker 6: We do get people that ask what the first part
Speaker 6: it says that, which is compare your compare your quote,
Speaker 6: don't miss the boat.
Speaker 1: It's it's don't miss the boat, compare your quote. Right
Speaker 1: when I, when Selan and I hear people talk about this,
Speaker 1: we're like, what how do you not hear this? How
Speaker 1: do you not hear this? But like, okay, it so
Speaker 1: obviously says don't miss the boat, compare your quote. And
Speaker 1: people will come up with things. They'll go, oh, I
Speaker 1: thought he said, and they'll repeat a line that I'll go,
Speaker 1: where did you even get that from? We've had it,
Speaker 1: we did it.
Speaker 6: We did it on air one time, and people send
Speaker 6: in their guesses of what they thought it. What they
Speaker 6: thought it was. You know, Fritz wrote that and and
Speaker 6: uh did the lyrics to music with his lovely wife Darcy. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and so I even had recently, like a year ago,
Speaker 6: he went in and did another version to punch up
Speaker 6: the vocals to try and make it more clear. And
Speaker 6: we still get that question. But yeah, norm it's so
Speaker 6: obvious to me, but I do.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while somebody will say, oh, here's
Speaker 1: what I thought he said, and I was wondering what
Speaker 1: that had to do with mortgages. I will say the
Speaker 1: first time that somebody said it, uh, and they had
Speaker 1: their guess of what they said it was don't miss
Speaker 1: the broken paper? And I went what And then I listened.
Speaker 1: Of course, who wouldn't think it's a don't miss the
Speaker 1: broken paper? That makes perfect sense. I am all right,
Speaker 1: I have it here somewhere, have the wrong thing out there.
Speaker 1: We go this whole day. It's gonna be. I'm not
Speaker 1: not hearing broken paper as much. I don't know.
Speaker 6: No, that is I try, and I try and beat
Speaker 6: on that though, because that is the number one mistake
Speaker 6: that people make, is they don't compare their quote after
Speaker 6: they get that first one.
Speaker 1: And and I see so many people just leave so
Speaker 1: much money on the table. Don't do that. That's that
Speaker 1: is just a dumb move for all involved. So that
Speaker 1: mortgage guy down dot com, thank you, Dom. We appreciate
Speaker 1: you man, thanks for having you guys. Absolutely do it
Speaker 1: again next week. We look forward to, uh your your
Speaker 1: veracity at the game. Because the guy came in just
Speaker 1: firing like a like a machine gun, and now we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to rethink things. I didn't want to let
Speaker 1: you guys down. I'll do better next week. No, pray,
Speaker 1: get back with more just a second. That's coming up
Speaker 1: next on the news. Chunky, I'm nervous too, And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you know, maybe we should maybe we
Speaker 1: should go easy on him. How do we make them
Speaker 1: more nervous next time? We can we add like an
Speaker 1: electrical shock to the chair that he's sitting in or
Speaker 1: something one of those one of those like police lights
Speaker 1: that just puts you a little bit off, like I
Speaker 1: don't know, and we need something that gives him the
Speaker 1: threat of death at some moments. Eventually he's going to
Speaker 1: do it from his own house where he's comfortable. We're
Speaker 1: so screwed. Jerry Duty is on the way here in
Speaker 1: just a moment on the show. A couple of things happening.
Speaker 1: One that I wanted to announce here was that I
Speaker 1: guess the Trump administration, love them or hate him, has
Speaker 1: signed an order to reclassify state licensed medical marijuana as
Speaker 1: a less dangerous drug. Okay, Chift questions the licensed medical
Speaker 1: marijuana from Schedule one to Schedule three. According to the
Speaker 1: Associated Press, so it seems like it's specifically from licensed
Speaker 1: medical marijuana place. That was my question because a handful
Speaker 1: of months ago or whenever we first started talking about this,
Speaker 1: and they said, you know, there's talk that the Trump
Speaker 1: administration or people under the Trump administration might be looking
Speaker 1: to reclassify marijuana, which is currently a Schedule one drug,
Speaker 1: which is the worst, the one like heroin levels right,
Speaker 1: I don't even think heroin is Scheduled one. Schedule one
Speaker 1: I think carries the worst penalty. It doesn't mean it's
Speaker 1: the worst drug, but Schedule one is supposed to mean
Speaker 1: that there's no medical reason for it so heroin would
Speaker 1: be you know, heroin and cocaine and some of the
Speaker 1: others are less because they're there. They used to Heroin
Speaker 1: used to be in like cough syrup and stuff, and
Speaker 1: there used to be medical reasons that they would either
Speaker 1: prescribe or study it. Now with Schedule one, I think
Speaker 1: like LSD is in there too, because there's no reason.
Speaker 1: There's no doctor that's like, you know what you need?
Speaker 1: You know what really cure this case of whatever you got.
Speaker 1: I've fixed some stuff, dropping a couple tabs. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you got some emotional problems. You can either sort them
Speaker 1: out or it will one shot you. That's how it works,
Speaker 1: like ayahuasca. It wasn't until this morning when I was
Speaker 1: watching this on the news and they were like, they're
Speaker 1: going to reclassify federally licensed medical marijuana, and I go,
Speaker 1: are we dividing the two? Are we separating the two? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean the regular weed, which will be the same
Speaker 1: exact thing on the streets, that's still class one. And
Speaker 1: then if it comes from medical place, even though it
Speaker 1: looks exactly the same, that's class three. It's the exact
Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, Yeah, it doesn't make sense, And so
Speaker 1: what we're getting here is like they still want the
Speaker 1: war on drugs for the illegal weed, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: just ease off this federal thing, which I think is
Speaker 1: better for the people who have cards. It gives them
Speaker 1: a little more, i don't know, reassurance that nothing bad
Speaker 1: is gonna happen even though you have a card from
Speaker 1: this state or you're going to this state. But it
Speaker 1: still begs the question, like, why is the regular marijuana
Speaker 1: still there? It doesn't need to be there, It doesn't
Speaker 1: it never needed to be there because it's not you know,
Speaker 1: it's not as dangerous as some of that other stuff.
Speaker 1: And there are already things in the schedule list that
Speaker 1: you cannot possess unless you have a prescription. What if
Speaker 1: some of those guys in the boats were bombing have
Speaker 1: weed though, And does this change anything from them? Maybe
Speaker 1: that's why they're leaving the illegal stuff up top. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe because they go, look, this isn't coming from
Speaker 1: a doctor. Here's one of the takes I saw almost
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand views a Sagar and Jetty, a host
Speaker 1: of some internet show, and he says, thank you, President Trump,
Speaker 1: hold on to your butts. He's being facetious here, he's
Speaker 1: not seriously thanking him. Thank you, President Trump for having
Speaker 1: the courage to massively enrich weed companies. I'll stop there.
Speaker 1: Why is that bad? Who cares? Why if it's an
Speaker 1: American marijuana company, why do you care? Why are you
Speaker 1: upset that they're massively enriching weed companies. If the weed
Speaker 1: companies employ a whole bunch of Americans, I don't know
Speaker 1: what they all do, but if they did, I go,
Speaker 1: that's fantastic. They are enriching these American companies who hire
Speaker 1: hiring hopefully American people, hopefully for decent jobs. And then
Speaker 1: we're taxing the hell out of this stuff from him.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. But I guess this guy is like,
Speaker 1: very sarcastically not thank you, President Trump for having the
Speaker 1: courage to massively enriched weed companies help mass poison the
Speaker 1: American public. Which of all the problems people have with weed,
Speaker 1: it's like, this is going to mass poison the American public. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, people get to make decisions on poisoning themselves
Speaker 1: or not. That's part of the American experience. If you
Speaker 1: want to swill down a whole bunch of alcohol and
Speaker 1: spend your days just being as drunk as you can,
Speaker 1: poisoning yourself with it. You're allowed to do it. I've
Speaker 1: tried it out a couple of times. If you want
Speaker 1: to do that, you can do it. So this like
Speaker 1: the idea that this is mass poisoning the American public, okay,
Speaker 1: and then further in trench the putrid odor of marijuana
Speaker 1: in public life. Truly, no one has ever had this
Speaker 1: type of courage before. In the office. You now sit,
Speaker 1: said this person, he's very upset about the marijuanas, and
Speaker 1: I was wrong about heroin. Heroin's Heroin Schedule one, Schedule
Speaker 1: two high potential for abuse, independence, some medicinal qualities like
Speaker 1: it in cocaine, methoxicon, materal. For a second there, I
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna say I was wrong about heroin
Speaker 1: and then come with a really hard take on it. Actually, fantastic,
Speaker 1: no more headaches. It's just been really really good for
Speaker 1: me so far. Schedule three tail and all with codine, ketamine, steroids, testosterone.
Speaker 1: I had no testosterone was scheduled three. That's crazy. Schedule
Speaker 1: four xanax valum I love. By the way, this is
Speaker 1: from Bob Blah Blah, which just so you know is
Speaker 1: an arrested development joke, which is nice. And bob blah
Speaker 1: Blah responded to this guy's take. I have a friend
Speaker 1: that injected one marijuana and he overdons after he woke
Speaker 1: up from the coma. He left his wife and kids.
Speaker 1: Marijuana root who I read about that on his blog,
Speaker 1: The bob blah blah Blah blog. I have a friend
Speaker 1: that injected one marijuana and he overdosed, which is pretty fantastic.
Speaker 6: I do like that.
Speaker 1: You're an idiot with no educational the benefits of cannabis,
Speaker 1: at least used the right term, since you claim to
Speaker 1: be a journalist. Alcohol is far more detrimental than marijuana.
Speaker 1: That's just facts. Get rid of alcohol and reclassified marijuana.
Speaker 1: Alcohol has no medicinal benefits. Hey, watch your mouth. So
Speaker 1: somebody posts this smoking a doobie, you're smoking with Satan,
Speaker 1: just as simple token of the devil's letters can make
Speaker 1: you sacrifice your family to Satan, just like Peter did. Wow,
Speaker 1: marijuana is the leading cause of America's youth joining Satanic cults,
Speaker 1: and that's a fact. Be smart, don't start from the
Speaker 1: ad council, they said. Sometimes I wonder if these things
Speaker 1: were like really, there's so many things that go viral
Speaker 1: where it's like, let's take a look back to nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty three where they ran these commercials, and it's like,
Speaker 1: if it's a video, that's one thing. But when I
Speaker 1: see these these ads, these poster looking ads, sometimes I
Speaker 1: go I took a class in college where one of
Speaker 1: our assignments was to take like the box of like
Speaker 1: a cereal box or something and re envision it with photoshop,
Speaker 1: And sometimes I wonder if any of these people are
Speaker 1: just going, I had this this thing we had to
Speaker 1: do in class where we re envision an anti drug
Speaker 1: ad and just go ham on it. Terrell on YouTube
Speaker 1: says Sean, It's part of the American experience. It's part
Speaker 1: of the American experiment. Why are we blaming the cartel
Speaker 1: for the fetanyl crisis in this country? I mean, do
Speaker 1: I have to explain the difference between feentanyl and marijuana
Speaker 1: to you? The way I view these things is there
Speaker 1: are some things we should let people do, bad decisions
Speaker 1: we should let people make. If you've heard this show
Speaker 1: at all, you probably know my take on this tends
Speaker 1: to be that I believe the meaning of life is
Speaker 1: as if we've been booted into or spawn into a
Speaker 1: video game, and the true meaning of it all is
Speaker 1: just to have an enjoyable ride. Whatever that is, whatever
Speaker 1: makes you happy, whatever gives you the best outcomes that
Speaker 1: you enjoy. You are literally in a once in a
Speaker 1: lifetime experience here, and I want you to enjoy it.
Speaker 1: I literally want less people to be miserable and angry
Speaker 1: about everything. I want you to just enjoy yourself. And
Speaker 1: if you can enjoy yourself and have better outcomes with
Speaker 1: smoking weed, I don't smoke weed. I don't think smoking
Speaker 1: weed is great, but I don't think it's any worse
Speaker 1: than merriwa are than a drinking or so many of
Speaker 1: these other things. Sean likes to drink his weed these days.
Speaker 1: I think people should be able to eat food that's
Speaker 1: bad for them. I think people should be able to
Speaker 1: do things that are bad for them, and then they
Speaker 1: should be held accountable for their own personal decisions afterwards.
Speaker 1: That's how I feel about it. And I think fentanyl
Speaker 1: is just shockingly drastically different than marijuana. But that's just me.
Speaker 1: I'll push jury duty back. We'll do that when we
Speaker 1: come back. And I got it. Update. Remember when there
Speaker 1: was the Disney lawsuit over the restaurant at Disney Springs. Yes,
Speaker 1: they told us, they told that guy, see Lane, hey,
Speaker 1: you can't sue because you're a Disney Plus member. And
Speaker 1: then that blew up real big. I didn't expect it.
Speaker 1: But in Jury Duty we have an update on that.
Speaker 1: Plus we'll get into the big controversy of the day
Speaker 1: that was printed in the New York York Times. That
Speaker 1: is coming up next, and the new use junk Kie
Speaker 1: one of the stories that's getting the most attention, especially
Speaker 1: on social media today. Uh and uh it's it's like
Speaker 1: an interview that they turn into an article, I guess.
Speaker 1: And I've always found when you have to come up
Speaker 1: with new names for stuff, you're probably telling you with
Speaker 1: the new name that what you're trying to justify is wrong.
Speaker 1: And they talk about like, hey, shoplifting is great, it's
Speaker 1: a political protest. It's micro looting, right, Okay, well I
Speaker 1: go micro looting. They're like, micro looting is a great way,
Speaker 1: this is the New York Times, a great way to
Speaker 1: fight back against the capitalist system and take down the
Speaker 1: big corporations like Whole Foods. So crime, Yeah, micro looting.
Speaker 1: I'm like, micro looting is stealing that's what it is
Speaker 1: when you have to have a new name for something
Speaker 1: that's like whoa, ho, whoa, don't call me that word.
Speaker 1: This was less than consensual sex that I was having
Speaker 1: with this woman. No, it's right. You don't just change
Speaker 1: the word and change the crime. You're still stealing stuff,
Speaker 1: and you're stealing stuff from places and you're not supposed
Speaker 1: to do that. If you're trying to justify something that
Speaker 1: might be wrong, I can see where you go, Well,
Speaker 1: it's just this like a perfect example. I used to
Speaker 1: hear from people that are like, I don't illegally download movies,
Speaker 1: I stream them. Yeah, I stream free movies. So I
Speaker 1: mean I think I'm in the clear. And I go,
Speaker 1: you're still getting something that they don't want you to
Speaker 1: get because you haven't provided them with any money. Sure,
Speaker 1: and that's the most common one. And then you know
Speaker 1: you have like some other digital levels of this. And
Speaker 1: then I look like the weirdo because I go, well,
Speaker 1: what if you're streaming CP and they're like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: I go, well, you're not in possession of it, you're
Speaker 1: just streaming it. Are you still doing something bad? I
Speaker 1: would tell you, like if you wanted to say, hey,
Speaker 1: if there was a news outlet that you thought was
Speaker 1: really bad for American culture, and somebody sent you a
Speaker 1: link to that news article and it had a paywall,
Speaker 1: and you wanted to go around it and not give
Speaker 1: them the money for the digital product. Okay, if you
Speaker 1: were somebody who said, hey, uh, there's a movie that's
Speaker 1: out right now, and whilst I want to know more
Speaker 1: about it, I want one hundred percent don't want to
Speaker 1: support the people who have made this movie. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to pirate it instead. And that's what I'm gonna do,
Speaker 1: because it's you know, I want to know what's happening,
Speaker 1: I want to get the source material, but I don't
Speaker 1: want to support them, and so this is something that
Speaker 1: I want to pirate. And said, you can make some
Speaker 1: level arguments about this, and I would go, I get it.
Speaker 1: I understand that makes sense. I'm on board. But when
Speaker 1: you're talking about going into a whole Foods and stealing stuff,
Speaker 1: it's not cool and you're not doing something cool, and
Speaker 1: it's not some awesome way to flex your socialism or whatever,
Speaker 1: and you're not microluting. You're stealing stuff. And I hope
Speaker 1: when you do they get you arrested. Well that they
Speaker 1: get you arrested for stealing stuff from the Whole Foods
Speaker 1: and in the middle of your stupid micro looting protest.
Speaker 1: It's weird that they mentioned Whole Foods in the intro
Speaker 1: paragraph to this article, because the whole first couple paragraphs
Speaker 1: when you get into the transcript, like the nuts and
Speaker 1: bolts are talking about digital micro looting, like they're talking
Speaker 1: about sharing Netflix passwords, the thing you said to which
Speaker 1: is going around a paywall on an article you're trying
Speaker 1: to read. Yeah, somebody said, would you pirate music from
Speaker 1: an indie band? Is it two thousand and five? And
Speaker 1: I'm using LimeWire because yes, yeah, So there's levels of
Speaker 1: this that you can understand. But then it goes to
Speaker 1: there's the dumb streamer who's a multi millionaire saying the
Speaker 1: rich don't play strict by the rules. Why should I?
Speaker 3: He is?
Speaker 1: He is rich, by the way, his name is San Piker,
Speaker 1: And he said in this the government funded anti piracy
Speaker 1: initiatives like would you steal a car? And he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: if I could get away with it, And they go
Speaker 1: into actually stealing physical things, and they end up talking
Speaker 1: at some point in time, like stealing from a big
Speaker 1: box store. One of the women who's talking to The
Speaker 1: New York Times says, yes, I have stolen before, under
Speaker 1: very specific circumstances. I will say I think that stealing
Speaker 1: from a big box store, I'll just date my platform.
Speaker 1: I think it's neither very significant as a moral wrong,
Speaker 1: nor is it significant in any way as protest or
Speaker 1: direct action. But I did steal from Whole Foods on
Speaker 1: several occasions, this woman says to The New York Times. Right,
Speaker 1: I've been involved in neighborhood mutual aid groups since twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, and I would go get groceries and steal
Speaker 1: from the Whole Foods, she says. And then they get
Speaker 1: back and forth on this and like stealing is some
Speaker 1: sort of radical thing to take down the corporate system. Now,
Speaker 1: this shouldn't be an argument that I even need to make,
Speaker 1: but I'll make it very, very quickly. Here's why stealing
Speaker 1: is bad. Stealing leads to a culture that negatively impacts
Speaker 1: None of the people in this discussion, all right, Nobody
Speaker 1: from the New York Times will be impacted by this,
Speaker 1: not one, not a single one of them. The streamer
Speaker 1: that took part of this, who gets millions and millions
Speaker 1: of dollars from Amazon, who owns Twitch, the platform on
Speaker 1: which he exclusively streams that streamer, will never face any
Speaker 1: of the negative outputs or consequences from what they're talking
Speaker 1: about here. This is so often the case with these
Speaker 1: people who try to talk about this from some high
Speaker 1: level as if you know, this is the true way
Speaker 1: to handle this, because they don't have to deal with
Speaker 1: the negative outcomes. You know who will deal with the
Speaker 1: negative outcomes Poor people. Poor people who do not work
Speaker 1: for the New York Times, who do not get millions
Speaker 1: of dollars from Jeff Bezos at Amazon, who do not
Speaker 1: get a whole bunch of money for writing for the
Speaker 1: biggest newspaper in the entire c true possibly around the world.
Speaker 1: Those people will never, ever, ever, ever be negatively impacted
Speaker 1: by this. Poor people will because when you start to
Speaker 1: encourage a culture of this, and we've seen this happen
Speaker 1: in a lot of cities around the United States of America,
Speaker 1: you encourage a culture that leads to the situation we
Speaker 1: have when you go into a target and everything's locked up,
Speaker 1: when you go into a CVS store and you have
Speaker 1: to ask for help from the one employee that's left
Speaker 1: so that they can get the deodorant and the axe
Speaker 1: body spray from behind lock and key, because people keep
Speaker 1: walking in there and stealing it because it's been justified
Speaker 1: by a bunch of other losers. There are literally bad outcomes.
Speaker 1: The outcomes are the closing of stores, mostly discount stores
Speaker 1: and poor neighborhoods. That is a bad outcome every single time.
Speaker 1: It is a bad outcome for poor people to lose
Speaker 1: options like going to the local store that might be
Speaker 1: affordable for them because you have encouraged people through lowering
Speaker 1: the threshold for crimes that you go to jail for,
Speaker 1: or through just saying morally, I don't believe this is
Speaker 1: the wrong thing at all, and go for it. Just
Speaker 1: go steal from the whole foods, no big whoop. When
Speaker 1: you do this stuff, you harm the poor and impoverished
Speaker 1: people who rely on going to the places that get
Speaker 1: stolen from the most. You do not see a rolex outlet.
Speaker 1: You do not see the fanciest stores in the mall.
Speaker 1: You do not see the Cardier store getting shut down
Speaker 1: as a result of this stuff. It's the corner store,
Speaker 1: it's the small place, it's the Walmart with the good
Speaker 1: deals that just gets tired of everybody stealing. It is
Speaker 1: a bad impact on every single poor person out there.
Speaker 1: That's number one and the most important thing. None of
Speaker 1: these people will ever have to face that outcome. They're
Speaker 1: all rich, they are all so spoiled, and they are
Speaker 1: all so privileged in making this statement. The second most
Speaker 1: important thing is that when you do this, not only
Speaker 1: do these places close, but they fire people, because there
Speaker 1: were people who are working these jobs in these impoverish
Speaker 1: neighborhoods that are affected by this kind of poisonous ideology
Speaker 1: that stealing is not actually bad and nobody gets hurt.
Speaker 1: It's just the big corporations just do it. You're not
Speaker 1: doing anything wrong. The people who work in those neighborhoods
Speaker 1: and are just trying to get a job to drag
Speaker 1: themselves out of poverty and just get a couple of
Speaker 1: dollars extra an hour, those people end up getting fired,
Speaker 1: the jobs end up disappearing, and you end up with
Speaker 1: less and less alternatives. You end up with what is
Speaker 1: inarguably a worse just speaking in terms of the esthetic
Speaker 1: of the world situation where every store we go into
Speaker 1: has lock and key, and the stakes are locked up.
Speaker 1: I've ever seen this. The stores where they lock up
Speaker 1: the stakes, they have security things hold them, security stakes steaks.
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can bring this up. So
Speaker 1: you don't think I'm too crazy. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't think you're crazy. I have had to ask for
Speaker 1: assistance on getting memory cards. I've had to ask for
Speaker 1: assistance or I was able to reach behind the lock
Speaker 1: and get my bottle of nexium one time. They made
Speaker 1: it pay for it, but I still was able to
Speaker 1: get around it, or maybe even maybe even baby formula
Speaker 1: things like that that they often That was a hot
Speaker 1: one for a while because maybe when it remember when
Speaker 1: it was so out of stock. Yes, to the point
Speaker 1: where people were trying to release recipes online of how
Speaker 1: to make your own baby formula. And then the other
Speaker 1: people were like, no, no, no, it's very dangerous to
Speaker 1: make your own baby formula. It is a very uh
Speaker 1: you know, it's a very specific thing and things could
Speaker 1: go wrong when you try to make it yourself. Yes. Yes,
Speaker 1: And and the people stealing baby formula aren't people who
Speaker 1: are stealing it because they need formula to feed their babies.
Speaker 1: They're people who are stealing it and selling it on
Speaker 1: Facebook marketplace. They're stealing it. They're going to In San Francisco,
Speaker 1: there's this marketplace that you can go to in the
Speaker 1: middle of the city. And you go there and all
Speaker 1: these people are selling the stuff that they have stolen
Speaker 1: from all the CVS stores. They just walk in there
Speaker 1: with a big garbage bag. They steal all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Nobody does anything, even if they get arrested, they just
Speaker 1: release them immediately and nothing happens to them. Then the
Speaker 1: CBS closes. Then the marketplace is infiltrated with this stuff
Speaker 1: that you can't even trust that they're selling to try
Speaker 1: to make money. Then the steaks are in cages. I'm
Speaker 1: showing you right now. This is a store where they
Speaker 1: have to lock up the stakes because people steal twenty
Speaker 1: dollars steaks or fifteen dollars steaks. It looks like the
Speaker 1: same fence that Cal used to live behind, probably right.
Speaker 1: But those are just three easy points that I can
Speaker 1: make too. One. This is something that doesn't just affect corporations.
Speaker 1: It affects people having access to discount food options and
Speaker 1: discount options in their places. It affects places that close
Speaker 1: down routinely because of thievery. That's encouraged like this and
Speaker 1: takes good, decent jobs out of these cities one by one.
Speaker 1: The rich cities never have to deal with this. It
Speaker 1: doesn't face them at all. The rich people never have
Speaker 1: to deal with this. They go back to their gated
Speaker 1: neighborhoods and they're million dollar homes, and then they encourage
Speaker 1: everybody else to make the poor neighborhoods worse. And the
Speaker 1: third thing is is aesthetically, it's like the end of
Speaker 1: the world that we now have to have everything locked up.
Speaker 1: Why because so many people want to justify stuff like this.
Speaker 1: It's not hard to say stealing is wrong. They go
Speaker 1: on further, and it's to justify the murder of the
Speaker 1: healthcare CEO that they say they understand. We can understand
Speaker 1: a murder of a man who is a father, a
Speaker 1: man who his murder solved zero things with the healthcare industry,
Speaker 1: which certainly is flawed in this country. And they go
Speaker 1: on again to justify these things because they know it
Speaker 1: won't negatively impact them. These are rich loser champagne socialist
Speaker 1: suckers who do it all for an aesthetic and they
Speaker 1: never have to face the negative outcomes that this drums
Speaker 1: up because their grocery store doesn't lock up the Rabbi stakes.
Speaker 1: All right, that's what you have here, and it's mainstreamed
Speaker 1: in these cases by the New York Times, like the
Speaker 1: idea that somebody from the nation's leading newspaper wouldn't go, well,
Speaker 1: hang on, that's stupid, that's ridiculou this. You want to
Speaker 1: protests Amazon, Say the next Amazon studio released movie comes out,
Speaker 1: and you want to pirate that movie? Do it?
Speaker 6: Do it?
Speaker 1: I don't care, Nobody cares. That is a direct protest
Speaker 1: against the company that made the product. The people are
Speaker 1: already paid. All this stuff makes much more sense if
Speaker 1: you do it within that zone. Right. You think a
Speaker 1: band is a bunch of racist, but you're gonna do
Speaker 1: a story on them, So you want to hear some
Speaker 1: of the songs that they wrote, so you can write
Speaker 1: with some level of authority, But you don't want to
Speaker 1: put money in their pocket. Okay, you think Gary Glitter
Speaker 1: is a creepy kid toucher, but you don't want anybody
Speaker 1: related to gy Gary Glitter the Hey, that guy, that guy,
Speaker 1: he's a creepy kid toucher. If you didn't know, all right,
Speaker 1: he's a disgusting, creepy kid toucher. You don't want him
Speaker 1: or anybody associated with him to get any money from
Speaker 1: the song, And you want to download that song. Fine,
Speaker 1: that's okay, Dan says, but that's stealing. No, it's not
Speaker 1: if you can't draw the line between the two of
Speaker 1: those one being the physicality of the object and the
Speaker 1: negative impacts that come directly from it, and what happens
Speaker 1: when you're actually doing something out of a protest like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's pretty obvious. Maybe it's not
Speaker 1: obvious to you, but I think it's fairly obvious the
Speaker 1: difference between those two things. This articles dumb. They did
Speaker 1: like a wrap up. They said, we talked about a
Speaker 1: different a couple different things. Let's give a smasher pass
Speaker 1: yes or no. Summary, And they said, steal from Whole Foods.
Speaker 1: One person sure, the other person sure. Burn down your
Speaker 1: employer's warehouse because you're mad about wage theft. No, And
Speaker 1: the piker says, my lawyers are telling me to answer no. Yeah,
Speaker 1: stupid murder the CEO of healthcare company. No, no, just
Speaker 1: a yes, I'm stealing from Whole Foods. That's your micro looted. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, so you see where they're going, and they
Speaker 1: want to say more. He wants to go, yeah, I
Speaker 1: justify the guy burning down the warehouse. By the way,
Speaker 1: this is how small these people's infantile brand. This is
Speaker 1: like sand brain nonsense. The guy who burns down the
Speaker 1: warehouse who says that he wasn't getting a living wage.
Speaker 1: All you had to do is pay me a living wage,
Speaker 1: and he burns down the warehouse because he like worships
Speaker 1: Luigi Mangioni or whatever. This is real. This happened, We
Speaker 1: played it on the show. The guy who burns down
Speaker 1: that warehouse single handedly got rid of hundreds of jobs
Speaker 1: that other people were fine with. His decision, again, a
Speaker 1: selfish decision that worries about the outcomes of him and
Speaker 1: him alone, and not the outcomes of all of the
Speaker 1: other people. His decision to do this, to burn down
Speaker 1: the warehouse ruined the jobs for all of the people
Speaker 1: who worked in this place. And the people who are
Speaker 1: the rich folks who are running the faculty or the
Speaker 1: facility that operated this that the guy burned down that
Speaker 1: they were like wink wink, nudge nudge, good jobbing. The
Speaker 1: people who own that place have insurance that will pay
Speaker 1: for it, and the only people that get squeezed out
Speaker 1: every time is the poor people. So that's why I
Speaker 1: think this is gross and it's loser stuff. You're trying
Speaker 1: to look cool in front of the NZ kids are like,
Speaker 1: hell yeah, steal from bezos. He's got enough money. But
Speaker 1: what you're saying actually has negative impacts and has negative
Speaker 1: impacts on poor people, the people you pretend to care about,
Speaker 1: but you really don't give a damn about. You only
Speaker 1: care about the five hundred dollars Gucci shirt you're wearing,
Speaker 1: or I don't even know what brand is that expensive.
Speaker 1: I can't even pretend to be a Champagne socialist. All right,
Speaker 1: let me come back, we'll get into your thoughts are
Speaker 1: sparkling white socialist I am. I mean, look, I just
Speaker 1: think it's so dumb. It's so painfully obviously dumb. And
Speaker 1: I was talking about how this is the stuff I
Speaker 1: would write on my wall, Ceilane, when I was in
Speaker 1: Chasing Edmund. I would have a marker and my parents
Speaker 1: would be like, stop running on the wall in your room, Sean,
Speaker 1: and I'd go, you can't stop me. I'm a SKA
Speaker 1: band guy now, and I'd write if the opposite of
Speaker 1: pro is con. What's the opposite of congress and murder
Speaker 1: the government? I want to see the Constitution burn America
Speaker 1: as a whore, America whore exactly. I would I would
Speaker 1: be writing all those things. You know why, because I
Speaker 1: was a dumb kid with dumb ideas and I didn't
Speaker 1: actually care about who they were impacting. Let's legitimately make
Speaker 1: life better for poor people. This ain't doing it, man,
Speaker 1: This ain't doing it in any way, shape or form. Okay,
Speaker 1: back in a moment, we'll get into you your response.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of dispatches coming in. We'll see
Speaker 1: what you think about all of this. It's coming up
Speaker 1: next to the new Who's Chunky? All right? We want
Speaker 1: to continue on in the power hour of the show. Here.
Speaker 1: We're behind because see Lane has been really screwing things up.
Speaker 1: It's quite obvious to anybody who's paying attention, super obvious.
Speaker 1: See Lane is really making us late on the show
Speaker 1: here today. But I want to tell you something before
Speaker 1: we get to a v have the micro looting mega rant.
Speaker 1: I want to tell you something because this may resonate
Speaker 1: with you in a way. Before we get to a
Speaker 1: very late Jerry Duty Seiland. There's some updates on that
Speaker 1: IVF embryo mix up. And for those of you who
Speaker 1: don't know, when Selane was trying to have Jackson for
Speaker 1: a little while, you guys were entertaining some IVF style
Speaker 1: stuff and like working on that process. Yes, and then
Speaker 1: you were blessed with a beautiful Jackson. As the story goes,
Speaker 1: we were about to make the down payment on doing
Speaker 1: the actual you know, retrieving of the eggs and freezing
Speaker 1: of all the other stuff, and I was going to
Speaker 1: have to probably do the thing in some uncomfortable places
Speaker 1: to make that thing happen. And then we were you know, Ashley,
Speaker 1: my wife was on the phone with these people about
Speaker 1: to read off her credit card number, and she said, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, I have a faint line on this test here.
Speaker 1: Maybe i'll call you back tomorrow. That's so crazy, man,
Speaker 1: That's that's so wild and so fortunate and honestly that
Speaker 1: you know that it turned out that way. And now
Speaker 1: Jackson gets assassium, which is one of all the other
Speaker 1: current things. But I bring this up because there's an
Speaker 1: update on the couple that had this IVF mix up
Speaker 1: where they the white couple ended up with the black baby.
Speaker 1: And they said, I think something has gone wrong here.
Speaker 1: I think there may have been a mix up. This
Speaker 1: is the story that came out today. I'll bring it
Speaker 1: up in front of me here. And when I was
Speaker 1: reading this, I said, are you kidding me? My god?
Speaker 1: It says doctors question labeling practices after Longwood IVF embryo
Speaker 1: mix up. That's Longwood, Florida and in vitro fertilization embryo
Speaker 1: mix up. So doctor's question labeling practices after Longwood embryo
Speaker 1: mix up. The story goes as an IVF clinic in
Speaker 1: Longwood gets ready to close at the end of May
Speaker 1: because of an embryo mix up. Doctors from other IVF
Speaker 1: clinics say it should have never happened. One doctor, as
Speaker 1: they do. One doctor says he had to turn away
Speaker 1: a couple from the Longwood clinic concerned their embryos were compromised.
Speaker 1: Doctor Mark Trellis of the IVF center says patients from
Speaker 1: the fertility center Orlando and Longwood have been approaching for help.
Speaker 1: He says, it's tragic on so many levels, and it
Speaker 1: really disclosed that the labeling system seems to have been
Speaker 1: faulty at this facility. All right. So the facility that
Speaker 1: is shutting down is the facility where these people ended
Speaker 1: up getting the wrong baby, right. They ended up getting
Speaker 1: the wrong stuff and it led to them giving birth
Speaker 1: to this baby and the white couple as a black baby.
Speaker 1: And now the whole thing is blown up. And he
Speaker 1: says one of the problems was that the labeling at
Speaker 1: this facility was handwritten. When it goes into liquid nitrogen
Speaker 1: after a period of time, it may not be as legible.
Speaker 1: Trellis says in one case he had to turn a
Speaker 1: couple down concern their embryos were compromise. He said, this
Speaker 1: one couple where embryos were received and the labeling was
Speaker 1: just not to the stand we felt comfortable, we had
Speaker 1: to turn them away. At the Center for Reproductive Medicine,
Speaker 1: doctors say they have checks and balances in place to
Speaker 1: prevent an embryo mix up, and not here it didn't.
Speaker 1: That's where we were going, Okay, CRM, they have stuff
Speaker 1: in place that make sure this doesn't happen. At the
Speaker 1: IVF labs, several alarms are in place to protect the embryos.
Speaker 1: Doctor Patel says it's rare that a mix up occurs
Speaker 1: anytime reproductive tissue is handled, it is independently identified by
Speaker 1: two separate embryologists, and the doctor Charles Guy goes your
Speaker 1: heart goes out to the couples that have to have
Speaker 1: endured this. So this doctor is saying, one of the
Speaker 1: problems at this clinic is that they would hand right,
Speaker 1: They would hand right on the samples that they were
Speaker 1: storing away. They would handwright the person's information and name,
Speaker 1: and they would lower it into the liquid nitrogen to
Speaker 1: keep it really really cold so it would stay fine.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine if you had handwritten on these these
Speaker 1: containers of embryos to pull them out of the liquid nitrogen.
Speaker 1: And they're like, we don't know who this is. We've
Speaker 1: kept this on ice for a while, but we had
Speaker 1: Sean Watson doing the writing. We probably can't zoom it
Speaker 1: enough to make this work. But my handwriting this says
Speaker 1: AJ Soup video Dummy or AJ Soup video Thursday, and
Speaker 1: then it says the name of our last secret show.
Speaker 1: The notes in front of me here. No normal person
Speaker 1: would haven't been able to read this beforehand. I'm so
Speaker 1: glad now they yeah, I do, thank god, because Sea
Speaker 1: Lant had a hard time reading when I took the
Speaker 1: picture of it and sent it to him for a
Speaker 1: weekend syndicated show. But they would take it and they
Speaker 1: would handwrite the people's information for their embryos or semen
Speaker 1: sample that they were putting into liquid nitrogen. And then
Speaker 1: when they would put it down in there, it would
Speaker 1: get all screwed up. And when they'd bring it out,
Speaker 1: they couldn't read the label. And they bring out the label,
Speaker 1: they go, I don't I don't know, is this your embryo?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 1: Here we go and they put the embryo on you.
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, white couples having black babies, and
Speaker 1: you just think to yourself, hold on.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 1: Celian knows much more about this than I do, But
Speaker 1: I do know one thing that is real clear to me.
Speaker 1: This is way too expensive for you to be cutting
Speaker 1: any corners when you're dred percent. And also, I think
Speaker 1: for the amount that you invest into this, the problem
Speaker 1: is with the place that this family has used. I
Speaker 1: think they're shut down now, you know, I think they're
Speaker 1: no longer. I don't know what happens to all those
Speaker 1: embryos or what goes on when a place like that
Speaker 1: shuts down. But if this were to happen and at
Speaker 1: a place that is still kind of chugging along doing
Speaker 1: their thing, and maybe they wouldn't trust it, but I
Speaker 1: think they're owed not only a refund, but like another
Speaker 1: free go at it. Yeah, and at the very least
Speaker 1: the road that, at the very least if they even
Speaker 1: wrongly paid. Am I correct to suggest they paid at
Speaker 1: least like tens of thousands of dollars?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Right of money. It's like, uh, you know, when you
Speaker 1: have a really bad cruise experience, like the poop cruise,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that they're they offered the world to
Speaker 1: these people and probably a free cruise at some point,
Speaker 1: and there's you know a lot of people would never
Speaker 1: get on a boat again after that, but there'd be
Speaker 1: a couple that would go, hey, you guys should probably
Speaker 1: have it pretty locked up by now, you know, after
Speaker 1: that one poop cruise. Yeah, I think I think now's
Speaker 1: the time to go. Right, We're not still pooping in bags,
Speaker 1: are we. We've found a better solution happen. If you
Speaker 1: have that happened twice, you should play the lot of
Speaker 1: all right, And that's Jerry duty for today. I also
Speaker 1: work this in real quick. The update on that Disney lawsuit.
Speaker 1: The woman who went to Disney Springs. She went to
Speaker 1: Raglan Road, which is just for the record, I know
Speaker 1: this isn't great for them, a really good Irish rest, fantastic,
Speaker 1: really good brunch over there. My wait, didn't you just
Speaker 1: eat there for the first time? And you like texted
Speaker 1: me and Josh like that, we've been holding out on you.
Speaker 1: I said, why didn't you guys tell me about Raglan Roads? Delicious?
Speaker 1: It's so good. It's such a cool place to eat.
Speaker 1: If you're ever in Disney Springs, go check it out,
Speaker 1: especially their brunch over there. But this person, this doctor,
Speaker 1: had severe food allergies, and she ate at Raglan Road.
Speaker 1: She ordered a handful of things and I think they
Speaker 1: listed it on here somewhere in the story that I
Speaker 1: was looking at. But she ordered a bunch of things
Speaker 1: and when those things came in, she ended up with
Speaker 1: an allergic reaction that happened afterwards because she had very
Speaker 1: very strong allergies. She injected herself for or did the EpiPen,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. She hit herself with
Speaker 1: the EpiPen, but it wasn't enough and this woman died.
Speaker 1: Now afterwards, Disney tried to pull the most insane legal
Speaker 1: maneuver ever. After this woman had an allergic reaction to
Speaker 1: the food at their Irish restaurant at Disney Springs. Disney said,
Speaker 1: you can't actually sue. To her husband, she said, you
Speaker 1: can't actually sue because Disney said, you can actually sue
Speaker 1: because you signed up for Disney Plus and the terms
Speaker 1: of Disney Plus, the streaming platform that has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with the shopping area Disney Springs, that has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with eating at an Irish restaurant. You signed
Speaker 1: up for it. And when you sign up for that,
Speaker 1: you agreed to mediation, and you weren't going to sue
Speaker 1: the Disney company that backfired on Disney. That that was
Speaker 1: turned around very quickly. Yeah, and they said either either
Speaker 1: Disney backed off of it because of the backlash or yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah they did. They did. But now there has been
Speaker 1: some sort of resolution to that case. They are not
Speaker 1: talking publicly about what actually happened or how much money
Speaker 1: they got, et cetera, et cetera. But the guy said
Speaker 1: the case is now settled, there is some sort of resolution,
Speaker 1: and the case is over for him. I'm imagination, yep,
Speaker 1: quick break when we come back final dispatch of stories

Speaker 1: YouTuber who should be publicly flogged. I mean this in
Speaker 1: the public square, did a I'm not going to say
Speaker 1: the person's name, did it, did a stunt for a
Speaker 1: YouTube video. They stormed into a subway and they brought
Speaker 1: like a massive swarm of people with them because they
Speaker 1: found out that subway has a policy. The policy says
Speaker 1: any customers that are waiting to order when the minute
Speaker 1: comes of closing time, they must serve them. Oh please.

Speaker 1: from packaging everything up and getting out of the workday.

Speaker 1: flog people for flog only in public. Only way this
Speaker 1: is funny is if those women we find out were
Speaker 1: compensated somehow or in on the joke or something. Because
Speaker 1: other than that, that is just a dick move from
Speaker 1: two people who want to get home to their families.
