Speaker 2: Got some news today that we'll get into at some
Speaker 2: point time about the show. Got Amy Kaufeld joining us.
Speaker 2: Nice a little bit here, you know, got an exciting
Speaker 2: Monday planned.
Speaker 1: Let's well, let's just get started as we always do.
Speaker 2: Let's put our ears the ground, our fingers on the pulse,
Speaker 2: Let's see what's happening in this great, big wide world
Speaker 2: of ours. And we go to a very strange man. Everybody,
Speaker 2: I have not heard of this man before, but now
Speaker 2: I'm intrigued. All right, I'm intrigued.
Speaker 1: Sei. Let are you familiar with an Alex Terrible? Do
Speaker 1: you know who that is? No, Alex Terrible is a
Speaker 1: stage name. Perhaps I think that's his stage This is Terrible.
Speaker 1: We didn't have Alex and yeah, I think this is
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a family lineage name. I think
Speaker 1: I think that this is a stage name. But you're
Speaker 1: not going to forget Alex Terrible in a couple of
Speaker 1: seconds here, because he's on some MMA show and I
Speaker 1: think he's like a heavy metal singer. I don't know
Speaker 1: much about him, but I was just so unbelievably.
Speaker 3: Honestly, when you said the guy we've never heard of,
Speaker 3: and I'm looking at what we're looking at here, I
Speaker 3: thought you were going to say ari Ol Helwani, because
Speaker 3: I was like, who the hell is that?
Speaker 2: I don't either. He's from the MMA world, so I
Speaker 2: don't expect to know him, right. But but the guy
Speaker 2: that he's interviewing, all right, he's over here and his
Speaker 2: name is Alex Terrible and he's about to show off one.
Speaker 1: Of the talents that this guy has and you'll remember this,
Speaker 1: so here we go.
Speaker 4: Would it be rude for me to ask you to
Speaker 4: do it? Would that be rude? Would okay?
Speaker 1: All right? He said? Would it be rude for me
Speaker 1: to ask you to do it? Any idea what this
Speaker 1: Alex Terrible guy is about to do in the studio?
Speaker 3: Alex Terrible has what is sounding like some sort of
Speaker 3: party trick maybe that he does. But I think so
Speaker 3: there's the reason it's rude. Is is it bodily or
Speaker 3: or it is bodily?
Speaker 2: It's a bodily thing that he's asking him to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, does he.
Speaker 3: Have some sort of like a fart control that's just
Speaker 3: beyond the normal person's fart control.
Speaker 4: Let's see, let's what we got. Would it be rude
Speaker 4: for me to ask you to do it? Would that
Speaker 4: be rude?
Speaker 1: Would you are you a wow? What is that? What
Speaker 1: the hell is that?
Speaker 2: Ro Could you imagine how powerful I would be if
Speaker 2: I could do that? Could you imagine ladies and gentlemen
Speaker 2: flexing that in a meeting. If you're sitting down in
Speaker 2: a meeting with your boss and you go.
Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? And they go, here's what I
Speaker 1: want you to do this week? And you go, oh,
Speaker 1: are you a wow, whatever you want. After that, berbers
Speaker 1: are just screaming. He's screaming. He the guy. I guess
Speaker 1: he's part of some metal bands.
Speaker 2: He laid And when Alex Terrible is performing on stage,
Speaker 2: he doesn't need a microphone. Okay, the man doesn't need
Speaker 2: a microphone.
Speaker 3: He's When Alex Terrible is finished performing on stage, he
Speaker 3: doesn't get on another stage for two months because he's
Speaker 3: got to recover from a performance such as that.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy. Think listen to that noise. That's insane.
Speaker 1: Plays the MGM Lion with that like at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the movie. Oh my god, I.
Speaker 3: Would be hilarious if he did that at the movie theater,
Speaker 3: just like everybody's packed in to see this new movie.
Speaker 3: The MGM logo comes on and Metro Goldwyn Mayer and
Speaker 3: the lion opens his mouth and Alex Terrible just stands
Speaker 3: up from the back row and does that. And then
Speaker 3: I think people would leave. I think that would go
Speaker 3: something is not right here.
Speaker 2: But could you imagine if you squared up to somebody
Speaker 2: in a fight and you just did that right in
Speaker 2: their face.
Speaker 1: I would run. Yeah, it would be like, wow, I
Speaker 1: gotta go in the opposite direction.
Speaker 2: Here the idea that that can come out of a
Speaker 2: human being. I don't know anything about his band, but
Speaker 2: I salute you, sir.
Speaker 3: I mean if he, if he were, it'd be hilarious
Speaker 3: to find out that he's actually a pussy, you know,
Speaker 3: like he can scream like that, but it's all he
Speaker 3: can do. Like if you actually try to bow up
Speaker 3: to him, he did, he's useless.
Speaker 1: I would not fight that man. I just immediately would die.
Speaker 2: But I literally in the middle of a like a
Speaker 2: contract negotiation. If you pop this out, I don't even
Speaker 2: know how many days I have left. I'm so you know,
Speaker 2: down in the dumps these days. I don't know how
Speaker 2: how many days I have left in my contract. But
Speaker 2: if I sat down with the suits and pulled that off,
Speaker 2: I think I'd regain control. I think I'd wrestle back
Speaker 2: full control.
Speaker 1: I would probably be the CEO within a week.
Speaker 3: He has said in interviews how he's a pretty soft
Speaker 3: guy and he's nice and like, I go, you know that,
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised that, you know, it's just a completely normal,
Speaker 3: you know, not completely normal guy's got neck tattoos, so
Speaker 3: you know, you don't just get neck tattoos out of
Speaker 3: nowhere but normal guy. And then all of a sudden
Speaker 3: he has that little thing, that little.
Speaker 1: Noise he does, and then you know, even fake.
Speaker 3: It, and then he goes, you know, he gets done
Speaker 3: with the show and the next day you see him
Speaker 3: in Starbucks.
Speaker 2: If I literally put everything into it and attempted to
Speaker 2: do that, I would shoot my vocal cords out of
Speaker 2: my throat.
Speaker 1: They would fly out of my throat. I just don't
Speaker 1: know what to do. I would have thought it was
Speaker 1: pretty good.
Speaker 3: That's probably what would happened to me, is if I
Speaker 3: try to do something like that today.
Speaker 1: He's just built differently.
Speaker 2: And I bring to you a question after this, because
Speaker 2: there's a video that's going megaviral that's sort of, you know,
Speaker 2: in a way related to this guy, a death metal singer,
Speaker 2: a rock band singer, and and the way that the
Speaker 2: performance is going all this and what are the videos
Speaker 2: I saw this weekend that has started a massive conversation
Speaker 2: around what's proper and improper with your kidids? And it's
Speaker 2: this little girl and she's at a metal show and
Speaker 2: her pops puts her up in the air over the crowd, okay,
Speaker 2: and she's I'll show you what's going on here, and
Speaker 2: I'll explain it to everybody here, but I want to
Speaker 2: turn this into a bigger question because I do think
Speaker 2: it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: She has all right, that's her dad. That's crowdsurfing.
Speaker 2: Her dad is crowdsurfing and he's on his back and
Speaker 2: he's holding his little daughter.
Speaker 1: I mean, she's standing on his chest and kind of adorable. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's doing like the the you know, the death metal
Speaker 1: horns on her finger. She's maybe four or.
Speaker 2: Three or something like that, and dad is is he's crowdsurfing.
Speaker 1: She's standing up. She trying to be a little older
Speaker 1: than that. I don't know. She's pretty young though, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's one digit age for sure.
Speaker 2: But she's doing like death metal, you know, like the
Speaker 2: horns on your hand. And people were like, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I'll give you some of the reactions.
Speaker 1: So it's obviously very intense, you know, a big heavy
Speaker 1: metal show, and people were upset about a couple of things.
Speaker 2: One people were like, you know, a kid shouldn't be
Speaker 2: crowdsurfing that age.
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree with you.
Speaker 2: A kid her age and let's say four or five
Speaker 2: years old or whatever, a kid that age should one
Speaker 2: thousand percent not be crowdsurfing.
Speaker 1: It's dangerous.
Speaker 2: There are creepers everywhere that might try to grab at
Speaker 2: her or do something weird.
Speaker 3: I think this, though, is the safest way for a
Speaker 3: girl her age, or perhaps any age.
Speaker 2: Her body is not touching anything other than her father.
Speaker 1: Boddie. She is on top of her.
Speaker 2: Father as he is holding her up, and he's you know,
Speaker 2: supporting her in this moment. John Over on Tjchats's child
Speaker 2: abuse called DCF. Look, there's a lot of people who
Speaker 2: see this, tell you, and they have these reactions.
Speaker 1: And here's the post along with this.
Speaker 2: Father faces criticism after taking his daughter to a rock festival.
Speaker 1: It's not a healthy environment for a.
Speaker 2: Child's not a healthy environment for a child, they said.
Speaker 2: And as long as you're being a good parent, I
Speaker 2: think you could take your kid well, just about anywhere,
Speaker 2: because so many of these decisions that you make are
Speaker 2: about you being a great parent. Despite the circumstances. How
Speaker 2: could it be dangerous for a little girl inside a
Speaker 2: metal mosh pit?
Speaker 1: Hell, yet it could be for me inside a metal
Speaker 1: It's probably more so for me and you than her.
Speaker 1: Right when I when I look at this, I go.
Speaker 2: Everything that matters here is in the nuance, right the
Speaker 2: little girl number one is quite clearly visibly having a ball.
Speaker 1: Yes, she would be to be there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she is having a good time at this metal show.
Speaker 2: She's standing up, she's she's probably gonna remember this for
Speaker 2: the rest of her life. And somebody even saying that
Speaker 2: just now on YouTube as the words are are coming
Speaker 2: out of my mouth here, she's gonna.
Speaker 1: Remember this for the rest of her life.
Speaker 2: But I ask of you, is it inappropriate to take
Speaker 2: little kids to concerts like this? To have little kids
Speaker 2: up close at a rock concert or I don't know,
Speaker 2: for that matter, a rap show or whatever you would have.
Speaker 2: This really had people ripping each other apart online.
Speaker 3: I kind of wonder if you know what her exact
Speaker 3: age is, because it's hard to tell the like it's
Speaker 3: hard to tell how tall she is because she's above
Speaker 3: the entire crowd. So it's you know, the perspective is
Speaker 3: not helping me much. But at a certain age she
Speaker 3: should still have ear protection on. And I'm surprised, like
Speaker 3: a lot of people, and I haven't read the comments,
Speaker 3: so I'm just seeing what you know, like YouTube and
Speaker 3: Twitter are saying about this. Yeah, it doesn't look like
Speaker 3: she's wearing like what I would put on my kid.
Speaker 2: But top comment is how often do you get the
Speaker 2: CrowdSurf on your dad though?
Speaker 1: Which is true?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is, as you might imagine, a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of really racist and crazy people because it's x dot
Speaker 2: com slash Twitter, and they're fighting over all the dumb things.
Speaker 1: That you could imagine.
Speaker 2: Somebody says, letting all those little pervs look up her dress?
Speaker 2: Know how many times a girl gets lingered if she crowdsurfs? Again,
Speaker 2: all of these things are like Situationally, I think, are.
Speaker 1: We calling it lingered now because of the algorithm?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably everything else's censored so now we can't even
Speaker 2: say this. But this little girl you got to go
Speaker 2: with the kids. Look at her, she's having the time
Speaker 2: of her life. So I think it's all about what
Speaker 2: type of parent you are being in this situation. If
Speaker 2: you're like a really great dad and super protective, I
Speaker 2: think even in this situation you could probably protect your
Speaker 2: kid and have a blast with him. But let us
Speaker 2: know what you think about this.
Speaker 1: Send us a dispatch in over on the website news
Speaker 1: junkie dot com.
Speaker 3: Props to that dad, he is holding her up, and
Speaker 3: that is some arm strength. I mean, in addition to
Speaker 3: all the other strengths that it would require of a
Speaker 3: person to let their daughter stand on his stomach during
Speaker 3: this entire thing.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I could do the shoulders
Speaker 1: after a while. God, yeah, So there you go. Let
Speaker 1: us do what you think, give us your thoughts. I'll
Speaker 1: also share with you something over this week and that
Speaker 1: I just thought was it's so phenomenal.
Speaker 2: It goes into the whole robot uprising thing that I've
Speaker 2: been talking about over and over and over again on
Speaker 2: the show, and it's about something that happened for I
Speaker 2: think the second year in a row in China, in Beijing,
Speaker 2: they did a marathon and they had the robots running
Speaker 2: the marathon again.
Speaker 3: And for just robots, no humans, or this is a
Speaker 3: mixed mixed doubles both, it's mixed.
Speaker 2: It's some robots, some humans, and for the first time
Speaker 2: in history, a robot won the marathon. Okay, a robot
Speaker 2: won the actual marathon, but it wasn't without a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of really weird twisting turns. And we're gonna have
Speaker 2: a laugh about this when we come back. Also, as
Speaker 2: I said off the jump, I got some news about
Speaker 2: the show today. We'll see what you think about that
Speaker 2: will work that. And we got our friend Amy Kaufeld
Speaker 2: coming up and not even an.
Speaker 1: Hour here on this show. We'll see what's happening with.
Speaker 2: Her, and a whole lot more on a busy Monday
Speaker 2: that's coming up next.
Speaker 1: I'm going to use Junkie.
Speaker 2: Half of the people on the in the chat are
Speaker 2: the incredibly nice type of people that you would think
Speaker 2: are fans of the show Sealing, and half of the
Speaker 2: other people like the new haircut shows off your five head,
Speaker 2: which I disproved immediately. I put four fingers on my
Speaker 2: forehead and that's it. That's all the room it takes up.
Speaker 2: There is no five head there. It's just fake news.
Speaker 2: Going five head is a measurement in fingers. Oh I disagree,
Speaker 2: Hang on five head.
Speaker 3: I think it just means your forehead so big that
Speaker 3: four is too low of a number.
Speaker 1: You need to get one up to five.
Speaker 2: Why isn't it called your forehead because it's four fingers space.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it is. It's not spelled fo.
Speaker 2: You are look at the camera here on our system,
Speaker 2: on our video system, put your fingers there?
Speaker 1: How many? You don't even have four? You got three? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what. Yeah, that's a little sad. Actually, yeah, what
Speaker 1: are you talking about? You? That's a you got a
Speaker 1: three head? Is what's going on there?
Speaker 2: I could I could see as clear as day. They
Speaker 2: saw it on the stream. Everybody saw that.
Speaker 1: That's why you You put four fingers up there, that
Speaker 1: you know, and they didn't fit. They were all squished.
Speaker 1: You only had a room for three. This guy, I
Speaker 1: think this is how it works. You put four fingers
Speaker 1: up there. That's where forehead comes from. You know, over
Speaker 1: time it changed to a different spelling. Okay, I'm actually
Speaker 1: google fou r head. That's what he used to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and then like back in the caveman days
Speaker 2: of Bill Wolfingo, you know, there was a whole thing,
Speaker 2: and then over time it changed a little bit.
Speaker 1: So let's get into the real news here.
Speaker 2: Let's get into what's going on and what's what's what's
Speaker 2: really deserving of your focus here today. I've talked for years,
Speaker 2: literal years. Right now, I continue that conversation. I've talked
Speaker 2: about these robots that are incredibly dangerous and they're really
Speaker 2: getting more and more powerful by the day. AI is
Speaker 2: on its own a very shocking and interesting, mind blowing thing.
Speaker 1: Awesome but also terrifying.
Speaker 2: Yes, like I'm not just over here like I want
Speaker 2: all this stuff shut down. I'm not really the unibomber,
Speaker 2: even though he's a great writer. I watch the stuff
Speaker 2: that's going on with robots and with AI, and I
Speaker 2: think about the potentialities of this and the outcomes. As
Speaker 2: I've said a million times, I don't care about stupid
Speaker 2: teams or political parties. I care about outcomes. My entire
Speaker 2: philosophy boils down to outcomes and creating the best positive.
Speaker 1: Outcomes for the most amount of people. That's what I
Speaker 1: look to in the world and what I want to
Speaker 1: bring to it.
Speaker 2: And I think that there's a lot of good outcomes
Speaker 2: that come from robotics and technology, but some bad ones too.
Speaker 2: And they had them run for the second year in
Speaker 2: a row in Beijing, China, a marathon, so they literally
Speaker 2: put robots and humans together, and this says you can't
Speaker 2: run from technology, especially not now. Over the weekend, event
Speaker 2: organizers in Beijing, China hosted a half marathon race. It
Speaker 2: was marathon crazy. Over the weekend, I ran into a marathon.
Speaker 2: They were doing in town because marathon's.
Speaker 1: All over the place.
Speaker 2: Beautiful weekend in the United States of America.
Speaker 3: Hot hot weekend for a marathon in this side of
Speaker 3: the country.
Speaker 2: Well, I think every weekend is a hot weekend for
Speaker 2: a marathon in the bad way for me, there's there's
Speaker 2: no perfect marathon, whether for me necessarily, but this is.
Speaker 1: The number of participating.
Speaker 2: Humanoid teams jump nearly five hundred percent this year, and
Speaker 2: the machines ran away with the competition. This year's winning
Speaker 2: robot outpaced last years by nearly two hours. For the
Speaker 2: first time, a robot beat the humans at the half
Speaker 2: marathon race.
Speaker 1: All right, a robot beat the humans.
Speaker 2: The first person a Crosswell I shouldn't say that. The
Speaker 2: first thing across the finish line was a robot named
Speaker 2: Lightning that won in fifty minutes and twenty six seconds.
Speaker 2: That shatters the human record of fifty seven minutes in
Speaker 2: twenty seconds.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it doesn't need to take breaks. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: there's no sing down.
Speaker 3: Does the robot have to charge at all? Or is
Speaker 3: it to do this whole thing on one charge?
Speaker 2: I think it's one charge, one charge. It gets it
Speaker 2: going for like an hour. Jay turned on YouTube said,
Speaker 2: did the robot get to keep his metal?
Speaker 1: I just welded it to his chest.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a couple of things first. This will
Speaker 2: give you some peace of mind because one of the
Speaker 2: robots had the most hilarious start in the history of
Speaker 2: all things running that I could think of. Here's one
Speaker 2: of the robots getting off to their start at the marathon.
Speaker 1: It goes off to the races. Betty, that's not real,
Speaker 1: Yes it is. That's absolutely real. I saw this video
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I thought it was so fake. This
Speaker 1: is real. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The robot starts, folks, and he goes or it goes
Speaker 2: about five six paces and then trips over a speed.
Speaker 1: All of its arms fly off. The legs are still in,
Speaker 1: but there's pieces of robot everywhere.
Speaker 3: Is the robot not programmed to realize it has fallen
Speaker 3: and stop trying to run like it looks like the
Speaker 3: robots still trying to run.
Speaker 2: It's running itself further into the asphalt. So for those
Speaker 2: of you who are worried about this kind of stuff,
Speaker 2: this is a little bit of a positive thing.
Speaker 1: And I'll put this up.
Speaker 2: On see it now because I know that it's it's
Speaker 2: a visual and I always try to put it up
Speaker 2: there so you guys.
Speaker 1: Can see it when you get a chance. Put the robot.
Speaker 1: This is a burn. And then because it's not a human,
Speaker 1: it's just flailing against the ground.
Speaker 3: Do you see what they're running out with, Well, what
Speaker 3: do they have? It looks like a stretcher. They're gonna
Speaker 3: put the robot on the stretcher.
Speaker 1: This is what happens. Eventually you think the robots are humans.
Speaker 1: Johnny five is alive, you know what I mean? This
Speaker 1: is like this is it? So that I thought was.
Speaker 2: Good news, as in some of the robots are not
Speaker 2: so fast anymore. And then there was there was a
Speaker 2: robot that came across. I think this might have been lightning. No,
Speaker 2: this is not, because this is fifty nine minutes. So
Speaker 2: this is one of the robots that was a little
Speaker 2: slower than the world record. Also hilarious. All right, robot
Speaker 2: is running. I'll put both these up. Turn the bright
Speaker 2: robot's running goes across the finish line right in an hour.
Speaker 2: Here goes still going, still going, inability to stop.
Speaker 1: Just runs. It runs across the finish line and then
Speaker 1: there's a wall at the end of the finish line
Speaker 1: and the robot just pounds into it and falls over
Speaker 1: to forrest gump of robots. Just keep I just kept running.
Speaker 2: That one didn't go go too well, hang on, I
Speaker 2: gonna keep the other one up because I want to
Speaker 2: make sure I put both of these up for you
Speaker 2: after the segment here.
Speaker 3: So I honestly thought that that first one was fake
Speaker 3: when I saw it the week on the way that
Speaker 3: the one arm so cartoonishly explodes off of the robot
Speaker 3: and flails in mid air.
Speaker 1: Go, this was an AI video. I didn't think that
Speaker 1: was real at all. That was real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the robot won the half marathon in Beijing, China,
Speaker 2: which that's scary.
Speaker 1: Everybody goes, well, I'll just rout run the robot. I'll
Speaker 1: just I'll run him, and I will have a problem,
Speaker 1: And I go, well, what if the robots have guns,
Speaker 1: don't worry. I'll get a head start. I'll your all run.
Speaker 2: And then you think, well, some of these robots are
Speaker 2: faster than you. Already, this is already, this is twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. You think the robots are gonna get dumber
Speaker 2: from here, you think they're gonna slow down.
Speaker 1: My friend John, he texts me.
Speaker 3: That he ran one of those Disney ones over the weekend. Right,
Speaker 3: it was ten miles ten mile Disney race that was
Speaker 3: on Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: He said it was hot and miserable.
Speaker 3: It was the first time he'd ever done one of these,
Speaker 3: like shirtless, just because it was like so hot and
Speaker 3: gross and miserable outside.
Speaker 1: And then they have them.
Speaker 3: Finish the race and then he's drenched in sweat, no
Speaker 3: shirt on, posing with Woody and they got the characters
Speaker 3: waiting for you.
Speaker 1: At a part at the Disney style stuff. Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my cousin runs a lot of these Disney marathons.
Speaker 1: She does like the Goofy Challenge where you do all
Speaker 1: of them. That's so impressive, man, I think it's Goofy
Speaker 1: Challenge or something like that, or Dopey Challenge. I think
Speaker 1: it's dopey because I think it's dope to do it.
Speaker 1: But she does all of them and.
Speaker 2: Dorty Challenge real Quick four day forty eight point six
Speaker 2: mile running event.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then her her boyfriend at the time now fiance,
Speaker 3: was going to propose at the end of one of
Speaker 3: these races. Yeah, somebody had to like run recon on
Speaker 3: him and be like, dude, you cannot you cannot do
Speaker 3: a marriage proposal at the finish line of a marathon
Speaker 3: when she's going to run through their sweaty and uncomfortable
Speaker 3: and just all cut.
Speaker 1: You need to.
Speaker 3: Make this a picture perfect moment, and you need to
Speaker 3: rethink this.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 2: That's actually some good advice, because you're like, what are
Speaker 2: you talking about.
Speaker 1: I'll be all ready for the picture when we're getting
Speaker 1: engaged at the finish line and she's like, I'm dying
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: Never looked worse. I did think this was a good tweet,
Speaker 2: half a million views. Somebody says, why am I supposed
Speaker 2: to be impressed that a robot can run a half
Speaker 2: marathon faster than a human? Okay, a Toyota Corolla can
Speaker 2: do that too, Do you actually understand why sports are exciting?
Speaker 2: And I thought, yes, yes, But these are bi pedal
Speaker 2: if that's what you say, bipedal robots, meaning these are
Speaker 2: not a car with an engine.
Speaker 1: They're humanoid. They're humanoid robots. They have two legs, bipedal
Speaker 1: like two legs that they're running on, and they're.
Speaker 3: They're judging by that one robot. The two legs are
Speaker 3: held on by scotch tape. True, just one little trip
Speaker 3: and you're done for.
Speaker 1: And to wrap up the marathon talk and this one
Speaker 1: was pretty crazy too. There was somebody in where was
Speaker 1: this in Delaware?
Speaker 2: And there was a guy who was he was headed
Speaker 2: toward the finish line.
Speaker 1: All right, he's headed toward the finish line.
Speaker 2: There's a guy way up here just about to walk
Speaker 2: under the thing that you go through where this guy
Speaker 2: would have proposed that Seela was talking about. And it's
Speaker 2: the finish line and the guy who's in first place
Speaker 2: is kind of just cruising along, ready to break the banner,
Speaker 2: thinking he wins, and some guy blazes past him in
Speaker 2: the last moment.
Speaker 1: And breaks through the barrier and wins the race at
Speaker 1: the last second. Which that's why you don't You don't
Speaker 1: quit till it's crazy.
Speaker 3: We had that happen recently, and the dude that thought
Speaker 3: he was winning fell over right because he thought that
Speaker 3: he was going to be at least get some resistance
Speaker 3: from the finish line. And then the other dude came
Speaker 3: up took the finish line down and the guy just
Speaker 3: fell on his chest.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, it's you gotta keep fighting until the
Speaker 1: very end.
Speaker 2: That's how it goes. Robot marathon disaster. Okay, I'm putting
Speaker 2: the one. This is the first one we talked about
Speaker 2: there over on the website, which is at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 2: It's on the see it now section. Whenever we have
Speaker 2: something on the show that's visual. Hell, if I don't
Speaker 2: remember to put it up, I want you to yell
Speaker 2: at me and say, Sean four to twenty or not
Speaker 2: get this thing on the website where we're listening. We
Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: So I put that one up and as chit chat,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put up the other one as well,
Speaker 1: where the robot did a bit better until the end
Speaker 1: at the finish line, this robot did not stop as
Speaker 1: well as it probably should have.
Speaker 3: So there remain is nobody controlling these things? They Are
Speaker 3: they autonomous?
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3: One would think that there's like somebody in charge of
Speaker 3: each robot, maybe even multiple somebodies on a laptop or
Speaker 3: on a an iPad or something, you know, checking diagnostics, monitoring,
Speaker 3: temperature monitoring RPMs or whatever the robots have inside them.
Speaker 1: That could go all.
Speaker 3: Right, let's let's let's hit the let's hit the brakes here,
Speaker 3: We're done.
Speaker 1: That's the case. Is it less frightening? Is it?
Speaker 2: Is it a little less frightening because you go you
Speaker 2: want to be scared.
Speaker 3: Because you think that the robot is uh finishing the
Speaker 3: half marathon without any human intervention.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think that's scarier. I do. I think
Speaker 1: it's more frightening. Maybe that's part of the rules robots who.
Speaker 2: There's nobody with a remote control at all. They just
Speaker 2: put in the like the path that the robot's supposed
Speaker 2: to go in its head. And then it's running and
Speaker 2: it's moving its arms along just like a human would,
Speaker 2: and then it beats us by nearly ten minutes. And remember,
Speaker 2: I'll say it again, because this is the most important
Speaker 2: thing about this. These things aren't gonna get dumber and
Speaker 2: slower from here.
Speaker 1: We've maxed out. We've done all that we can do
Speaker 1: as human beings in weron of a bitch.
Speaker 2: To be honest, folks, we did a pretty great job.
Speaker 2: High fives all around. We really did a pretty great job.
Speaker 1: We did. We did.
Speaker 2: But it goes further than this, and it's only going
Speaker 2: to go in a direction where these things are faster
Speaker 2: and stronger, let us know what you think. A robot
Speaker 2: winning a half marathon for the first time ever and
Speaker 2: the videos up on See it now at the Newsjunkie
Speaker 2: dot com, Real quick tips of the news Junkie dot
Speaker 2: Com and pez emails. The show says, catching up on
Speaker 2: Friday's episode, I'm just listening to the latest show and
Speaker 2: I heard the found the lost ten pills of medication
Speaker 2: and he asked, is it was it a particular location
Speaker 2: of a Walgreens. I think what he's talking about here
Speaker 2: is I made mention on Friday on the show that
Speaker 2: Courtney went to get her medication picked up from the
Speaker 2: pharmacy and it was supposed to be like ten pills
Speaker 2: or something. It was supposed to be twenty pills, and
Speaker 2: they only gave her ten and when she got home
Speaker 2: she noticed that, and then she thought, well, this is
Speaker 2: a weird situation because they'll think I'm taking it so
Speaker 2: that I can have more pills, and then I think
Speaker 2: that they're taking it so they're like embezzling pills or whatever.
Speaker 2: So what am I supposed to do? Do I just
Speaker 2: shut up about it or do I go complain? A
Speaker 2: lot of people said, you're supposed to say something about it.
Speaker 2: He said, I spent three days in a row trying
Speaker 2: to get my ozembic refilled.
Speaker 1: Finally yesterday was in stock. The woman in front of me.
Speaker 2: Was complaining about getting home to discover the pharmacists put
Speaker 2: tilan all in her bag, not her regulated med we
Speaker 2: don't put tiland all in bags. Blah blah blah, back
Speaker 2: and forth between her and the woman that same place
Speaker 2: a few months ago refilled my ambient with ninety pills
Speaker 2: instead of thirty. Did I circle back around and say anything, Nope.
Speaker 2: Fir staff seems like a revolving door of different people
Speaker 2: each time I go. And Andrea emails talking about the
Speaker 2: confession drama from the show on Friday where the priest
Speaker 2: was in trouble for asking sexual questions.
Speaker 1: I saw girl.
Speaker 3: A lot of people chime in about that story over
Speaker 3: the weekend on Facebook and in other places, a lot
Speaker 3: of a lot of Catholics, a lot of my brethren
Speaker 3: coming out and saying, yeah, no, this is absolutely not
Speaker 3: what is supposed to happen at a confession. It's the confession.
Speaker 3: Is you listing out your sins to the priest. He's
Speaker 3: not trying to get any information out of you. He's
Speaker 3: there to listen, is there to listen, and then then
Speaker 3: decide what your penance is and then you know the
Speaker 3: name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
Speaker 2: We're done with this, Andrea says. I'm a Catholic woman
Speaker 2: my whole life. And no, with a capital no, that
Speaker 2: is not the way a pre should talk during confession, ever,
Speaker 2: says Andrea.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: We'll take more of your feedback tips of the news
Speaker 2: Junkie dot com and your dispatches record them over on
Speaker 2: the website.
Speaker 1: We might do a rate my blank. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll see what's happening.
Speaker 2: We got our friend Amy Kaufel joining us in less
Speaker 2: than thirty minutes on the show. I got some news
Speaker 2: about the show coming up a little bit later on.
Speaker 2: But when we come back, a student is in big
Speaker 2: trouble for something they said. But did they actually do
Speaker 2: anything wrong. I want to play this for you. Wait
Speaker 2: till you hear this. It's coming up next on the
Speaker 2: News Junkie. A bunch of things to get into here
Speaker 2: on the show as we roll forward on a Monday.
Speaker 2: One thing I want to put out there is, after
Speaker 2: hearing somebody in chat mention the documentary Skyking We watched
Speaker 2: that this weekend, Courtney and I and it was really good.
Speaker 2: It was really really interesting. And Courty just popped into
Speaker 2: the studio during the break on school mic and I said,
Speaker 2: what'd you think of it? She was like, it was
Speaker 2: really sad, and I go, it doesn't have to be sad, Like,
Speaker 2: I really think there was so much packed into this documentary, which,
Speaker 2: on its face is a guy who worked for the
Speaker 2: airlines and stole a plane and went on the ultimate
Speaker 2: joy ride in this passenger plane, and then you know
Speaker 2: the ending that that some of you know and some
Speaker 2: of you don't know, and.
Speaker 1: That's what it is on its surface.
Speaker 2: But there's so much more to it, right, There are
Speaker 2: so many things about it that I found interesting. One thing,
Speaker 2: as they're playing this audio of this guy and ceiling,
Speaker 2: you remember it as well as I do.
Speaker 3: We played this on this show, it was it was
Speaker 3: sort of chilling how nonchalant he was about the stuff
Speaker 3: that he was doing. So I'm just gonna do a
Speaker 3: little loop loop over here, and uh huh, He's like,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna dry pull off a barrel roll and he did,
Speaker 3: and he did right.
Speaker 2: And and this guy was like just an interesting cat.
Speaker 1: He was an.
Speaker 2: Interesting cat who I've met a couple of people like
Speaker 2: this guy. And the best way that I can describe
Speaker 2: people like this maybe you've met somebody like this guy
Speaker 2: in Skyking who stole this plane. And now it's this
Speaker 2: documentary that's out I think on Hulu, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: Ryan says it's an incredibly nuanced story. It absolutely is.
Speaker 2: But this Guyking guy, I've met people like him several times,
Speaker 2: and it's that person that you meet that's smart and
Speaker 2: interesting and charismatic. They got like a big personality and whatnot.
Speaker 2: But the issue is they were not built, for whatever reason,
Speaker 2: to live within the rat race. They were not built
Speaker 2: to be in a cubicle somewhere. They were not built
Speaker 2: to just be a little drone, a cog in the wheel.
Speaker 2: They weren't built for the people were corporate world. So
Speaker 2: many people are and deal with it and you know,
Speaker 2: go through every single day, but some people just can't
Speaker 2: stomach it. And that's who this guy was. And the
Speaker 2: most based bro move in the history of bro moves
Speaker 2: was healed. How many people would be listening to this
Speaker 2: audio And as he's flying around out there, he goes, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: people are probably.
Speaker 1: Gonna ask why I did this.
Speaker 2: It's like, tell them that you don't pay the guys
Speaker 2: on the tarmac for the airline, that I work out
Speaker 2: enough money and it's embarrassing that we make less than
Speaker 2: minimum wage in the area, and like he puts this
Speaker 2: out there for him and his friends in the last moment,
Speaker 2: everybody's trying to search for meaning and everything he's doing
Speaker 2: and read into the cards and tea leaves and stuff,
Speaker 2: and he goes, I'm gonna take a moment here and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna do an absolute bro move and
Speaker 2: try to get my friends who are probably wondering why
Speaker 2: I did all of this a raise down down on
Speaker 2: the ground down there.
Speaker 3: And did the documentary follow up on whether or not
Speaker 3: that was a successful bro move.
Speaker 1: Dude. At the end, you know they put the messages
Speaker 1: up on the screen.
Speaker 2: The message that they put up was at airline, I
Speaker 2: don't I don't think this.
Speaker 1: Is really a spoiler.
Speaker 2: The message they put up on the screen is like
Speaker 2: the airline did not address this until their shareholders meeting.
Speaker 2: And if you don't know what that is, it's like
Speaker 2: when the stock people, the people who own stocks in
Speaker 2: a company, the shareholders they gather and the company has
Speaker 2: to talk about their financials and stuff, and the company
Speaker 2: didn't really mention it until the shareholders meeting, where they said,
Speaker 2: don't worry, the plane was fully insured and we were
Speaker 2: able to write the whole thing off.
Speaker 1: And oh, you go, damn these hearts, what sucking companies?
Speaker 3: What I do have kind of a weird I don't know,
Speaker 3: maybe question morals or ethics wise about the Skyking thing.
Speaker 3: And that is basically should we have called it skyking?
Speaker 3: Was that really like a responsible thing to do? Like
Speaker 3: there are certain things that the news tries to avoid,
Speaker 3: like when there's a school shooter, you don't want to
Speaker 3: show their picture, say their name, give them any attention
Speaker 3: that the they wouldn't have had or that they may
Speaker 3: have wanted by committing this crime. And in this case,
Speaker 3: like this was ultimately, after a long bit of you know,
Speaker 3: being a huge theft of a plane, it was ultimately
Speaker 3: a suicide. Yeah right, And like so you know, the
Speaker 3: news decides like, hey, we don't report on most suicides
Speaker 3: because they don't want to encourage like somebody to be
Speaker 3: inspired by that and go, oh yeah, I can do
Speaker 3: that too.
Speaker 1: He did it. You know, that's his way out. I'm's
Speaker 1: gonna be my way.
Speaker 3: Out too, And so I think calling him Skyking is
Speaker 3: kind of like a if somebody called me skyking because
Speaker 3: I flew a plane really well, I would be flattered
Speaker 3: by that. Do you think it's weird to like give
Speaker 3: him a positive name for this.
Speaker 2: Yes, but they address it directly. Okay, stop trying to
Speaker 2: get him to play the back on a Plane song.
Speaker 2: All right, it's distracting. Everybody's like, I know.
Speaker 1: What's going on. We're back on a plane right now.
Speaker 2: Okay, they addressed it.
Speaker 1: How did they address them? Tell me how they address it?
Speaker 1: Like this story as long as it flies insane and
Speaker 1: as you might, I guess we're back on a plane,
Speaker 1: all right, all right.
Speaker 2: They address it on in the documentary because one of
Speaker 2: the big themes of the Skyking thing, where the guy
Speaker 2: steals this plane and then just goes on a joy
Speaker 2: ride and does a barrel roll, was that everybody online
Speaker 2: and on social media platforms does this disgusting thing. They
Speaker 2: do it all the time of these internet platforms. They
Speaker 2: do the most disgusting thing possible. They take it through
Speaker 2: their own pre existing beliefs and filter it, and then
Speaker 2: they'll make the person theirs. So people would like, you know,
Speaker 2: this political ideaology said, well, this is what was going
Speaker 2: on with this guy, and they make a hero out
Speaker 2: of them, and then people with you know, the opposite beliefs,
Speaker 2: they try to make a hear out of him. And
Speaker 2: his friends and his family members were watching and they go,
Speaker 2: I would see all these people try to lay claim
Speaker 2: to my brother, to my friend and say, you know, Skyking,
Speaker 2: he was he was on our side, and he'd go,
Speaker 2: you have no idea. This guy doesn't agree with anything
Speaker 2: that you're saying, Like, this guy wasn't on your team,
Speaker 2: he wasn't on your side. He would have hated you.
Speaker 2: And I saw that happen with Pat Tillman and a
Speaker 2: couple other people throughout history.
Speaker 1: But it's it's disgusting.
Speaker 2: There's so many of these weird grifters and online political
Speaker 2: people that they took this guy's story, which kind of
Speaker 2: was a beautiful one, and they funneled it through their
Speaker 2: politics because that's all these boring sandbrain losers can even
Speaker 2: think of. So that's the sky King came from political
Speaker 2: people trying to adopt this guy and make him their representative,
Speaker 2: even though he had eaten agree with anything these people
Speaker 2: were saying, and it's a larger conversation about that and this.
Speaker 2: It was interesting, So check it out if you get
Speaker 2: a chance. I thought it was pretty cool. The audio
Speaker 2: is just we played it on this show and it happened,
Speaker 2: and it's just really truly one of the most engaging
Speaker 2: pieces of audio.
Speaker 1: Is this guy's flying around super weird. Yeah, it's weird
Speaker 1: to hear and very funny and yeah, and and Courtney
Speaker 1: was just teary eyed. I think. Oh. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the positive in this and there's some negative too.
Speaker 1: But she knew it was gonna happen, right, you know,
Speaker 1: this wasn't a surprise. She didn't. She did. I was like,
Speaker 1: you don't remember it? Oh, she goes, Oh, that's what's
Speaker 1: happening here.
Speaker 3: I almost don't feel like I would have to tell
Speaker 3: her because like, it seems a little gross.
Speaker 1: That I know where this is heading and you don't.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I did not make that move.
Speaker 2: All right, We're going to get into more of your
Speaker 2: comments as we roll on on the show, and a
Speaker 2: lot of different things happening this weekend that we need
Speaker 2: to address. One of them that I want to bring
Speaker 2: up real quick, was what a catastrophe this was in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Speaker 2: There was a Virginia Tech football game going on, and.
Speaker 1: I saw this morning. Did you see this that there
Speaker 1: was a guy who was trying to do a skydiving stunt.
Speaker 1: And I'll mute this just in case, and you yes,
Speaker 1: he got.
Speaker 2: The guy's skydiving and he's got an American flag along
Speaker 2: with him, and he accidentally is mistaken. He crashes in
Speaker 2: to the big stadium screen and the skydiver gets stuck
Speaker 2: on the giant jumbo tron at the football game, and he.
Speaker 1: Like he crashed in hard too.
Speaker 2: He hit the sea in Virginia Tech and smashed the
Speaker 2: sea and got pretty beat up doing so.
Speaker 3: He was able to jettison the American flag. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: then I don't know how they because he had the
Speaker 3: American flag, which I think I think it's just attached
Speaker 3: to him, and.
Speaker 1: Then as a tether at it or something.
Speaker 3: At some point you see this video we're watching seems
Speaker 3: to cut. But at some point the video I saw
Speaker 3: this morning, he is able to release the American flag
Speaker 3: from him and it had its own tiny little parachute.
Speaker 3: There's a tiny little stream parachute for the American flag
Speaker 3: patriot I thought was super interesting.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, So they talked about this on I
Speaker 2: think Good Morning America this morning.
Speaker 1: See do they have him on.
Speaker 6: Special Operations VET dangling from a parachute for about twenty
Speaker 6: minutes before first responders rescued him. He spoke about that
Speaker 6: fight twenty minute.
Speaker 7: And he had to change course.
Speaker 1: That's brutal.
Speaker 6: This morning, the skydiver who slammed into the scoreboard at
Speaker 6: a Virginia Tech football game speaking.
Speaker 1: Out it happened so fast, this surprised all of us.
Speaker 6: Pasha Palinker was one of three performers set to parachute
Speaker 6: onto the field before the Hokies game Saturday. He says,
Speaker 6: everything was going as planned until the wind's picked up.
Speaker 1: Oh No.
Speaker 8: When I was approaching, everything looked fine, and wind picked
Speaker 8: up as I was getting into the stadium, picked up
Speaker 8: way above than what it's expected, and it looked like
Speaker 8: I was going to land on the crowd, which could
Speaker 8: have been pretty dangerous.
Speaker 6: Planker quickly changing course, aiming for the practice field outside
Speaker 6: the stadium instead.
Speaker 8: As I was turning to try and go into that field,
Speaker 8: another wind share came in and just slimmed me into
Speaker 8: that jumbo trunk.
Speaker 6: Jeez, the sudden impact knocking the wind out of him,
Speaker 6: pieces of the sign falling as the shocked crowd looked on.
Speaker 8: I was just really glad that that parachute was hanging
Speaker 8: on whatever it was hang on, because it was a
Speaker 8: long way down.
Speaker 6: Planker hanging from the screen for about twenty minutes before
Speaker 6: first responders were able to rescue him.
Speaker 1: He hurt his.
Speaker 7: Shoulder, but is otherwise Okay.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. He hurt his shoulder, but he's like fine otherwise.
Speaker 3: I wonder where was that fire truck because I don't know.
Speaker 3: It looked like the jumbo tron would be in a
Speaker 3: place where you would have to use stairs to get up,
Speaker 3: so like, I want to know where that ladder was
Speaker 3: coming from it.
Speaker 1: They said it took twenty minutes, so yeah, you might.
Speaker 3: It might have taken twenty minutes to get that truck
Speaker 3: with that ladder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they had to get up to this guy,
Speaker 2: and thankfully the parachute kept him hooked to the football sign.
Speaker 2: I'll put this up on see it now as well
Speaker 2: in just a moment.
Speaker 3: Hey, I don't know how much the general person knows
Speaker 3: about fire stations, but not every fire station has a
Speaker 3: ladder truck. And so that's why you'll like see some
Speaker 3: of the fire stations have like a ladder sign or
Speaker 3: something like that, or some of the trucks have some
Speaker 3: sort of designation like this truck is a ladder truck.
Speaker 3: It has the ones that get extra high. Not all
Speaker 3: of them have that.
Speaker 2: So if they do, yeah, I don't know if they
Speaker 2: have one that goes up like you're saying that far,
Speaker 2: because it was he was hanging up there pretty damn high.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna put this up on see it now.
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a quick break. When we come back,
Speaker 2: our friend Amy Kawfel from Fox thirty five will be
Speaker 2: joining us on the show. We'll see what's going on
Speaker 2: with Amy. Chit chat with her, get caught up on

Speaker 2: her new Mercedes, and as we pulled up, there was
Speaker 2: a huge crowd of people and they saw that I
Speaker 2: was in the car, and they all start looking over.
Speaker 2: And then Courtney drives over the parking spot bump and
Speaker 2: gets the new car stuck and gets grinding and ripping,
Speaker 2: and and it was oh god, yeah, So hopefully I
Speaker 2: don't have that sort of appearance at the bowling tournament
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 1: That that wasn't that was the start of your bulleting
Speaker 1: tournament last last time.
Speaker 2: Didn't get any better out there, And that is so
Speaker 2: loud that everybody just starts staring over at me, and

Speaker 7: Don't feel bad.
Speaker 2: She's Fox thirty five to Amy on X and you
Speaker 2: need to follow her right now. The video you posted
Speaker 2: with this woman swimming, I'm guessing there's no curse words here.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping.
Speaker 7: Oh she's underwater.
Speaker 2: Okay, this woman films herself underwater. I don't know where
Speaker 2: she is. And there's a whale shark in the Philippines,
Speaker 2: and the whale shark almost eats this woman and then
Speaker 2: she looks down to see it, and I've never seen
Speaker 2: anybody more unphased in my life.
Speaker 1: A whale shark just almost said, you know what.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna eat you for lunch. All right, I'll miss
Speaker 2: you for now. And this lady was so nonplused. I
Speaker 2: would have been freaking out. Amy says, Okay, I know
Speaker 2: whale sharks are harmless, but I'd still be freaking if
Speaker 2: this happened to me.
Speaker 1: How is she so calm? Agreed, I don't know what
Speaker 1: to make of. This is insane.
Speaker 9: It's crazy, and like, here's the thing, like and I
Speaker 9: had to google it just to make sure. I was like,
Speaker 9: I'm pretty sure because I there is a whole like
Speaker 9: you know and something or finding Nemo.
Speaker 7: There's like a whale shark, right.
Speaker 9: I think it's like the I'm trying to maybe it's
Speaker 9: not the original movie, but maybe like the sequel where
Speaker 9: the whale shark is you know, one the big characters,
Speaker 9: and well, sharks are harmless, but how like, how is she.
Speaker 7: Still so calm?
Speaker 2: I don't understand, don't I don't know either, But it's
Speaker 2: an amazing video. Actually these are just that's a little
Speaker 2: tidbit of what you get from following her on social media.
Speaker 2: Fox thirty five Amy.
Speaker 1: So anyways, with that aside, what what's grabbing your attention
Speaker 1: to that?
Speaker 9: Well, there's lots of lots of big stories that were
Speaker 9: following up on today. Like the one story that I
Speaker 9: think a lot of people in Orlando are for sure
Speaker 9: talking about is the Magic winning big last night. They
Speaker 9: went one hundred and twelve to one or two or
Speaker 9: Detroit Pistons in Detroit. You know, this was a hard
Speaker 9: road for them, So you guys know they went into this.
Speaker 9: They had to They had to beat Charlotte in order
Speaker 9: to even get in. Then they get in and they
Speaker 9: have to play the number eight, number eight seed, which
Speaker 9: is what the Magic are, have to play the number
Speaker 9: one seed, which is Detroit. Nobody was giving them any kudos.
Speaker 9: They looked good last night. I thought they looked great.
Speaker 7: So Magic win.
Speaker 9: They play in Detroit again on Wednesday, and then they're
Speaker 9: going to come here and they're going to play on
Speaker 9: Saturday and Monday. So make sure you get those tickets.
Speaker 9: They do still have tickets available and should be a
Speaker 9: lot to fun.
Speaker 2: Do you feel like they caither getting some momentum right
Speaker 2: now like maybe the fair weather fans might be starting
Speaker 2: to pop up here and buying tickets and stuff.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3: A friend of mine was looking at tickets to Game
Speaker 3: four of the series. She was trying to look looking
Speaker 3: at different seats in the in the Kia Center, seeing
Speaker 3: where she could be for Game four. And then this,
Speaker 3: this was during last night's game, and then the Magic
Speaker 3: won the game, and she's like, oh crap, the tickets
Speaker 3: have already gone up, the prices are already rising. We
Speaker 3: need to we need to get off the pot here.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean like it seems like they got a little
Speaker 2: momentum which they haven't had for a very long time.
Speaker 1: So that seems like a good thing for sure.
Speaker 9: Super excited for them, Super excited for them. What else
Speaker 9: on a couple of store You guys might remember this one.
Speaker 9: There was an accident that happened in October of last year.
Speaker 9: Twenty three year old woman from Okalla who hit basically
Speaker 9: was merging onto I four in Valusia County and ended
Speaker 9: up hitting three cars which caused a chain reaction. You
Speaker 9: remember this, It was really horrific craps. Three people died.
Speaker 9: There was a motorcyclist two other cars. Well, they finally
Speaker 9: arrested her and she's now being held in jail with
Speaker 9: that bond. So we've got her picture up on our website.
Speaker 7: Fox will be five. We're landa dot com. Go check
Speaker 7: that out.
Speaker 9: But yeah, her name is Lindsay Brooke Isaacs. She's I
Speaker 9: believe she's only twenty three years old. So anyway, but
Speaker 9: it was a fatal crash and she left the scene
Speaker 9: of the crash, according to RNA Higo Patrol, which is
Speaker 9: partially why she's in a lot of trouble. It's just
Speaker 9: a reminder, you know, like even if something is not
Speaker 9: your fault, you got to stay on scene and that's
Speaker 9: how you know, you get I don't think people realize
Speaker 9: how much more trouble they get into by driving away.
Speaker 3: I've heard of people getting in trouble for witnessing a
Speaker 3: crash and driving away, like because they want everybody who
Speaker 3: might be able to give a statement and let the
Speaker 3: law enforcement figure out, you know, what might have happened here.
Speaker 3: I've heard of that. I think it's a little more
Speaker 3: on the rare side, but like, if you see a
Speaker 3: crash go down and you're the only one around, I
Speaker 3: think you got a stick her own.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, no, And honestly, Celine, it's just about being.
Speaker 7: A good person, you know what I mean. I get it.
Speaker 9: We're all in a hurry, like you wouldn't be in
Speaker 9: the car if there wasn't somewhere you had to go.
Speaker 9: But then I don't know if you guys saw the
Speaker 9: story we had of that poor guy last week that
Speaker 9: we had on the show that was driving as tesla
Speaker 9: and pulled over to help the guy on the four
Speaker 9: twenty nine.
Speaker 7: Do you remember that story? The guy was like laying
Speaker 7: motionless on the ground the fourteen. I remember that? Crazy?
Speaker 1: Well, what was the deal with that?
Speaker 2: Okay, so this guy pulled over to help somebody on
Speaker 2: the side of the road. Right, Just for those of
Speaker 2: you who don't know this story, it's like on the
Speaker 2: side of the highway, this guy pulls over to help somebody,
Speaker 2: and the person he pulled over to help started attacking him.
Speaker 1: Yes, I remember this. Awful Why did that guy do that?
Speaker 7: It was awful?
Speaker 9: Well, and you know this is he Hans.
Speaker 7: Who was the guy who pulled over to help.
Speaker 9: You know, he's he's not one hundred percent sure, but
Speaker 9: based on what the crash report said and the police
Speaker 9: officers are unseene. Apparently the guy was on drugs, so
Speaker 9: I don't know. He had gotten into an accident with
Speaker 9: a woman earlier, and then his car ended up on
Speaker 9: the side of the road. Why he was pretending to
Speaker 9: be laying on the side of the road.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 9: Drugs are bad, kids don't do them, and and and
Speaker 9: ended up. He got and started attacking the guy. And
Speaker 9: then this Hans who was amazing you guys and like,
Speaker 9: we don't think about this stuff, right, he was like,
Speaker 9: he said, this guy was enraged.
Speaker 7: He was telling me he was gonna kill me.
Speaker 9: And he said the only thing I could think to
Speaker 9: do was hit him in the jugular. And so he said,
Speaker 9: I kept hitting him in the jugular.
Speaker 7: Passed out, Yes.
Speaker 9: Really, I finally passed out long enough for him to
Speaker 9: get up and get in his car. And then he
Speaker 9: said he gets into his car and the guy's banging
Speaker 9: on the windshield saying let me in.
Speaker 7: He was like, oh, hell no, you're not getting in
Speaker 7: this car with me.
Speaker 9: And then he had to wait, and then the cops
Speaker 9: get there, and then the guy attacks the cops that
Speaker 9: showed up.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, and he had a tesla though, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: and it reported every I was going to say, he
Speaker 3: probably has like the three angles in HD of this
Speaker 3: crazy man trying to saying let me in and all that.
Speaker 1: At least he got something out of it.
Speaker 9: For goddes, he had the tesla right. Imagine if you
Speaker 9: didn't have any of that. Now he's just like, now
Speaker 9: you're it's just so, he said.
Speaker 2: He said, you know, another thing we've been following and
Speaker 2: I have so many questions about this.
Speaker 1: Finally, Amy, finally.
Speaker 2: After all of this time, they put the charges against
Speaker 2: Anna Kepner's brother, stepbrother for her death on this cruise ship.
Speaker 2: And we're all scratching our heads, just going this, I
Speaker 2: still not in jail. He's that now they've charged him,
Speaker 2: and he's still not behind bars. He's being charged as
Speaker 2: an adult best we can tell. And there's all these
Speaker 2: horrible details that are coming forward about what he did
Speaker 2: to this stepsister of his, including you know, killing her
Speaker 2: because all of this led to her death, and some
Speaker 2: of his family members still kind of running defense for him.
Speaker 2: It's all just very strange. Is there are we kind
Speaker 2: of in like a holding pattern on that story again here?
Speaker 1: Or why no?
Speaker 9: So this it's funny you say, that because that he's
Speaker 9: going to be in court this week. Now, remember this
Speaker 9: is a federal court case, so that means no cameras
Speaker 9: allowed in the courtroom. So all we're going to get
Speaker 9: our bad sketches and information. Yeah, because it's just the
Speaker 9: way the federal court works, right. But yeah, so he'll
Speaker 9: be in court this week, and so that could change Sean.
Speaker 9: So potentially he could end up behind bars after this
Speaker 9: court hearing because again they're trying him as an adult.
Speaker 9: We had attorney marknee Jame on this morning kind of
Speaker 9: explaining the system and how this works.
Speaker 7: So yeah, so that could change the sweet We'll keep
Speaker 7: you posting.
Speaker 1: Did he say this is normal? It's like, it's not
Speaker 1: unusual for somebody in this position to not have been
Speaker 1: even right.
Speaker 9: And part of it is because he is a juvenile
Speaker 9: and so so now so it's you're having to switch,
Speaker 9: you know, you're having to switch systems.
Speaker 7: So you go from.
Speaker 9: Okay because he was a juvenile and that he was
Speaker 9: being you know, held as a juvenile. Now that they're
Speaker 9: saying no, we're going to move forward with federal charges,
Speaker 9: it changes everything, federal and adult charges. Right, so now
Speaker 9: we're moving ahead and treating him as an adult. So
Speaker 9: because of that, everything has to change. Martini Jay was
Speaker 9: saying this morning that he has I guess two public defenders.
Speaker 7: A third is going to join the.
Speaker 9: Case because if in fact he does end up going
Speaker 9: and they decide they want to make this a death
Speaker 9: penalty trial, that the death penalty is on the table,
Speaker 9: that also is going to up his defense, right that
Speaker 9: they have to have a certain number of defense attorneys.
Speaker 9: They have to have a certain number of attorneys who
Speaker 9: are death penalty certified.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it does kind of change up the case
Speaker 7: a lot.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens, all right. That's an interesting
Speaker 1: one to watch. It is always a pleasure to talk
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 2: Just in case you have any gigs over there for us,
Speaker 2: we'll you know, we can we can run lights.
Speaker 1: Or sound or switch cameras. Yeah, yeah, we see.
Speaker 2: We not use all the equipment, probably not as nice
Speaker 2: as your equipment is over there.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like if you guys got good equipment,
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel.
Speaker 9: Like for those headphones that ceiling would always try to
Speaker 9: make me wear headphones. They were nasty, they had like
Speaker 9: they were like pealing.
Speaker 1: I would never have done that to you. I would
Speaker 1: give you only the highest quality headphones. That was probably
Speaker 1: the very beginning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was probably something the company gave us, like
Speaker 3: these are for guests, and we said, it's no good.
Speaker 2: They do that because they don't have to deal with it.
Speaker 2: That's what the company does with everything. They do things
Speaker 2: because they don't have to deal with it. So they go,
Speaker 2: look these bobo headphones. It's somebody's weird, greasy grandpa wore.
Speaker 2: We're gonna pop them into this basket here. And when
Speaker 2: you have high caliber, fancy guests like Amy Kaufel coming
Speaker 2: over to your studio, just.
Speaker 3: Throw these on Amy, the same headphones that they gave
Speaker 3: the strippers.
Speaker 9: No, God, almighty, it's anywing on them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody probably had. They probably had. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the case.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 1: There she goes Amy Coffelt Forever. She's the best of
Speaker 1: the best.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you next week, Amy quick Break when
Speaker 2: we come back. Don't forget, by the way, follow her
Speaker 2: on every single social media platform. And as I always said,
Speaker 2: you're following the person, you're not following the product. Follow
Speaker 2: Amy Kaufel. She's an amazing person and she'll keep you
Speaker 2: up to date. With everything you need to know.
Speaker 1: Also make sure you're watching along every single morning when
Speaker 1: Amy and the crew go through everything you need to
Speaker 1: know to tackle the day. On a good day ordo
Speaker 1: with our friend Amy, call film back in a moment.
Speaker 2: We've got so much more to get to. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: give you when we come back. We've got the news
Speaker 2: about the show coming up at some point here, probably
Speaker 2: at the top of the hour or so, I'm going
Speaker 2: to give you my absolute favorite banger clip of the day.
Speaker 2: The idea that this happened is so crazy to me.
Speaker 2: I'm going to play the audio so you can hear
Speaker 2: this moment that's coming up next in the news junk
Speaker 2: Keeam see Len, you'll be happy to know.
Speaker 1: I think I think you'll be happy to know.
Speaker 2: There was an event for a bunch of fans of
Speaker 2: the show that met each other and they've become close
Speaker 2: and they've done a camping event each year for the
Speaker 2: last several years, and they call it disc camp because
Speaker 2: they're from.
Speaker 1: You know, the news junkie disc community.
Speaker 2: And I've gotten to report back that one of the
Speaker 2: more popular memes is the one that's now exploded from
Speaker 2: your house.
Speaker 1: You listen, Jackson ah rah.
Speaker 2: They were utilizing that on each other. Despite despite some
Speaker 2: of the interactions you may or may not.
Speaker 1: Have had online. Screw that. You know. The thing about
Speaker 1: the Internet that I always go back to is, for
Speaker 1: some reason we let everybody have access to it. It
Speaker 1: should have been an exclusive thing, folks. It should have
Speaker 1: been like fourth certain people only.
Speaker 2: And then we have a big red button that when
Speaker 2: we see the dumb people, we hit the button and
Speaker 2: just you know, they they get ejected onto some other
Speaker 2: internet Internet too, and then down, down, down from there,
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you end up on like Internet
Speaker 2: seven with just a bunch of absolute schizophrenic weirdos or something.
Speaker 3: Internet seven sounds like your last chance, for your last chance.
Speaker 3: And then obviously there's been a lot of comments, been
Speaker 3: a lot of fan fiction making its way around the Facebook,
Speaker 3: much fan fiction, and never seen more anonymous commenters. You
Speaker 3: guys got your takes, your hot takes, and you do
Speaker 3: not want to put your name on them.
Speaker 1: Who's running that Facebook group these days? Turn off anonymous comments.
Speaker 2: That's cowardly anyhow, that's anonymous cowardly nonsense. If somebody has
Speaker 2: something to say, let them come forward. You see people
Speaker 2: who are trying to stir up trouble. And it's the
Speaker 2: same person over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: And it follows the pattern that I see over and
Speaker 1: over and I talk about on the show dumb, loud
Speaker 1: and wrong and all of those in all caps, dumb,
Speaker 1: loud and wrong. And so many people have no idea
Speaker 1: what they're talking about, commenting on things like contracts, and
Speaker 1: you don't know how contracts work, just as you folks know.
Speaker 1: I've talked about this before on the show.
Speaker 2: But when you hear somebody in radio talk about a contract,
Speaker 2: the contract is for the radio company.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: The contract is benefiting the radio company. It is not
Speaker 2: benefiting the individual person. So, for instance, if you signed, like,
Speaker 2: let's say, a twenty year deal with a company, which
Speaker 2: you can't even do basically in some places. But if
Speaker 2: you signed a big long deal, the deal is for
Speaker 2: the company. Right, you got to keep coming in every
Speaker 2: day and showing.
Speaker 1: Up for all of those days. For me, it might
Speaker 1: be around seventy or so, right, that's what.
Speaker 2: The contract is for. The contract doesn't say in almost
Speaker 2: any case with any broadcast company I've ever worked for,
Speaker 2: or any of them that exists out there right now.
Speaker 2: And trust me. I'm an actual expert on this. I've
Speaker 2: signed many of these.
Speaker 1: I do it. I do it frequently. Okay, everybody thinks
Speaker 1: they're an expert until you're like, you have no idea
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. One of his hobbies signing contracts.
Speaker 1: Little cool show.
Speaker 2: If only I could make that growl sound that from
Speaker 2: the beginning of the show. But the contract is for
Speaker 2: the company, all right. It doesn't mean if you had
Speaker 2: like a twenty year deal, that the company has to
Speaker 2: pay out for twenty years.
Speaker 1: It's not how it works.
Speaker 2: It means how many days you've agreed to keep coming
Speaker 2: in and doing the work that you promised to do
Speaker 2: for There's an unbelievable, almost endless line of people who
Speaker 2: don't know much about things, who are willing to talk
Speaker 2: about them online, and to a certain extent, you can't
Speaker 2: do much about that, and it would be a lame world.
Speaker 1: If you If you did, I'd rather not do, you know,
Speaker 1: get into any of that.
Speaker 3: But there was just one time, and over the weekend,
Speaker 3: the one thing that I thought was a little funny,
Speaker 3: so I said, you know what, let's have some let's
Speaker 3: have some fun with this.
Speaker 1: Let's get a little let's get a little laugh out
Speaker 1: of this one. I'm going to enjoy it. You gotta.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: See Lane on the Internet, just so you guys know,
Speaker 2: he's on Internet seven too.
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, I wouldn't call myself Internet seven.
Speaker 1: Sea Lan's on Internet seven too, just so everybody knows.
Speaker 1: And what happens with Seelane on Internet seven is he
Speaker 1: goes there's a lot of discussion going on here, and
Speaker 1: then Celian sits back and watches and he goes, all right,
Speaker 1: it's like a double Dutch.
Speaker 2: There's two jump ropes going around, and Selian goes, all right,
Speaker 2: here we go, here we go, here we go.
Speaker 1: Boom And when he comes in, I'm in, baby, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be.
Speaker 2: A strategic nuke that he's going to drop on you,
Speaker 2: and it's not gonna end well for you. He drops them,
Speaker 2: fat man, little boy, He drops the nuclear bombs, cracks
Speaker 2: his knuckles, and then he takes all the reaction gifts in.
Speaker 2: And I just want to let people know if you
Speaker 2: send a laughing reaction gift to Sea Lean's responses to
Speaker 2: somebody in some dramatic battle online, it powers him up.
Speaker 1: Yes, like like, But it's the months at a time.
Speaker 3: It doesn't power me up till like the next morning,
Speaker 3: because every once in a while, I will, I will
Speaker 3: engage in some internet commentary commentary, and I will drop
Speaker 3: the bomb and then and then I will I don't
Speaker 3: even know if I place my phone on the nightstand.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it just rests on my chest as I fall
Speaker 3: immediately asleep, and then I wake.
Speaker 1: Up and go.
Speaker 3: People will react to your comment, I go what I do,
Speaker 3: But this one was very, very very purposeful and pointed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't blame you, and I mean, that's how
Speaker 1: it goes out there. It's a lot of people who
Speaker 1: listen to this show, so a lot of people have
Speaker 1: a lot of opinions. And yeah, you know, I direct
Speaker 1: your ire, if you will, at the losers in the
Speaker 1: suits who make every bad decision that you could possibly
Speaker 1: make at this company and in every other company. Let's
Speaker 1: just be real, it's not not a ton of companies
Speaker 1: really looking at me and you go, you know, the
Speaker 1: executives at this company are really something else. They are
Speaker 1: really phenomenal human beings.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of dopey people out there on the
Speaker 2: top of the food chain. So yeah, I mean, I've
Speaker 2: got something I want to say about this a little
Speaker 2: bit later, maybe at the top of the hour. I
Speaker 2: got some news, got a little bit of news that's
Speaker 2: trickling in, and we'll we'll see what what everybody makes
Speaker 2: of that a bit later on in the in the show.
Speaker 2: But as for this point in time, just trust and
Speaker 2: uh and believe. If you don't mind, trust and believe
Speaker 2: is trust the process.
Speaker 1: Trust the process. If you if you don't mind and.
Speaker 2: Trusted, the person typing in all caps is just as
Speaker 2: dumb as you think they are, because you know they
Speaker 2: truly are in that scenario.
Speaker 1: I did comment in all coins, Oh did you you listen? Jackson?
Speaker 2: All right, let's see here do I have I hope
Speaker 2: I have this. If I don't, I can bring it
Speaker 2: back up here. But there is a woman who is
Speaker 2: in trouble right now and this has got to go
Speaker 2: on the mo list one hundred percent. This has to
Speaker 2: go on the mow list because there's this student who's
Speaker 2: in trouble and I'm gonna need to come in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got a lot of livings. Maybe he just
Speaker 1: gets the whole day this week.
Speaker 11: MO.
Speaker 2: Just take a seat, buddy, We've got some things stacked
Speaker 2: up for you. While you've been in Vegas here, all right,
Speaker 2: So this this woman who goes to FIU.
Speaker 1: Where is FIU f Florida International University. I don't know
Speaker 1: where that's located. Miami is that? Okay?
Speaker 2: Yea FIU and Miami is where this woman goes. And
Speaker 2: she has been arrested and is in jail. Strangely enough,
Speaker 2: the stepbrother of Anna Keepner not in jail. This person
Speaker 2: in jail and the charges are really weird. Here's some
Speaker 2: of the details here. This is seven News in Miami.
Speaker 5: It's unfortunately assuming she's a senior in the graduate soon
Speaker 5: and now it's going to jeopardize her ability to graduate.
Speaker 12: A twenty three year old FYU student charged with a
Speaker 12: felony over messages she wrote in a school group chat.
Speaker 12: All right, Gabriella Saldana facing a judge Thursday morning. According
Speaker 12: to arrest report, this went down in a WhatsApp group
Speaker 12: chat of about two hundred and fifteen students.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me stop there. When I hear stuff like
Speaker 2: this that sounds like a nightmare. Like a nightmare to me.
Speaker 2: One of the most traumatic things that has ever happened
Speaker 2: to me in my life is when we did this
Speaker 2: show in Jamaica. We broadcast from Jamaica.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, of course you found something traumatic about Jamaica.
Speaker 1: And what they did.
Speaker 2: I don't know how, I don't know why, but somehow
Speaker 2: we got forced into like a WhatsApp chat with all
Speaker 2: of the other radio people who are also going to Jamaica.
Speaker 1: And I didn't sign up for anything, but all of a.
Speaker 2: Sudden, I'm getting messages and photos And how many people
Speaker 2: did this woman say, we're in that group chat a
Speaker 2: second ago.
Speaker 1: Two and fifteen? That's insane.
Speaker 3: Well, the thing that got me was, I guess it
Speaker 3: was mostly because we I had never used before. I
Speaker 3: didn't think I'd even had it downloaded before, but all
Speaker 3: of a sudden they're like, hey, we recommend you get this,
Speaker 3: and so we got it, and then to keep in
Speaker 3: touch with people, and then all of it, you are
Speaker 3: getting notifications all the time.
Speaker 1: Stop. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The thing that I also didn't realize that is a
Speaker 3: default action of WhatsApp is that when people were posting
Speaker 3: pictures to the group chat, he was automatically downloading them
Speaker 3: and putting them in my phone. So when I go through,
Speaker 3: you know, pictures of Jamaica looking for specific ones, I
Speaker 3: have to flip through a bunch of them that I
Speaker 3: didn't take, and have people in there that I don't know.
Speaker 2: Same, absolutely the same. So this student is in some
Speaker 2: group chat with like two hundred people. I cannot even
Speaker 2: imagine how that would be. Two hundred and fifteen people
Speaker 2: in a group chat. Seems like it would be it
Speaker 2: would be overkilled. But maybe maybe that's what some of
Speaker 2: these other chats are too.
Speaker 1: Let's hear where.
Speaker 12: Students were discussing an event that was to take place
Speaker 12: Friday at the Ocean Bank Convocations Center on campus to
Speaker 12: make their capstone presentation.
Speaker 2: Okay, so they were talking in the group chat about
Speaker 2: this event on campus that was going to take place.
Speaker 1: That's the key piece of information.
Speaker 2: You didn't need to know right now, right that's the
Speaker 2: most important thing.
Speaker 12: And NFIU police officer read some of the statements in court.
Speaker 13: The exact words utilized was there's going to be a
Speaker 13: bomb in the Ocean Bank Convocation Center and it's going
Speaker 13: to be at Jonathan's fault. One of the members in
Speaker 13: the chat.
Speaker 12: Seven News obtaining some bits of that chat, it seems okay,
Speaker 12: here I.
Speaker 2: Have some of the messages from this chat. The woman
Speaker 2: posted about this event happening on campus, and it says
Speaker 2: net and Yahoo for those of you who don't know,
Speaker 2: that's the leader of Israel. All right, Net and Yahoo,
Speaker 2: if you can hear me, drop some bond bonds for
Speaker 2: us Capstone students in Ocean Bank convention Center. Now, just
Speaker 2: like people don't say the word rape anymore, I guess
Speaker 2: bombs is also off limits. So we say bonbonds and
Speaker 2: sewer slide, and the list goes on and on. But
Speaker 2: Net and Yahoo, if you can hear me drop some
Speaker 2: bond bonds, okay, as Capstone students at Ocean Bank convention centers.
Speaker 1: I don't like this.
Speaker 3: One because when I think of bonbond, I think of
Speaker 3: Rick and Martin.
Speaker 1: You know, bone not not something bad. It wasn't there
Speaker 1: another song that was like super bomb bond, superbond something
Speaker 1: like or is that the same song I might be
Speaker 1: thinking of.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but bond bonds all right in Net
Speaker 2: and Yahoo, if you can hear me drop some bond
Speaker 2: bonds on the on the convention center.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Her other post is net and Yahoo again, the leader
Speaker 2: of Israel if you can hear me drop something with
Speaker 2: a B and ends with a B and has an
Speaker 2: O and an M in it in the Ocean Bank
Speaker 2: Convention Center. All right, the two of those messages. I
Speaker 2: don't know if those are actionable. Those messages. If you say,
Speaker 2: like if I was like Kim Jong un, if you
Speaker 2: hear hear me out there, rocketman drop a rocket on
Speaker 2: iHeart AGEDQ, Like if I say that, I don't think
Speaker 2: that's an actual threat because people are gonna go he's
Speaker 2: talking about.
Speaker 1: The leader of North Korea. No, nobody believes.
Speaker 2: For a second that he's instructing the guy to drop
Speaker 2: some bombs on the location.
Speaker 3: Do you think this girl's lawyer is going to have
Speaker 3: to argue like, hey, there's no reasonable expectation for Benjamin
Speaker 3: NETANYAHUO to be in her What's App group chat?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would.
Speaker 2: I think that makes sense. Like, you shouldn't type that.
Speaker 2: I think that's wrong. I think you're a bad person.
Speaker 2: But I don't know if that should be enough that
Speaker 2: you should go to jail for him. Excuse me, my
Speaker 2: I apologize.
Speaker 1: I had a lot of water before the show and
Speaker 1: it's starting to work its way up. I apologize. That's unprofessional.
Speaker 2: And then Netty, if you can hear me drop something
Speaker 2: with a bee that ends with a B and has
Speaker 2: an O and eminent.
Speaker 1: Let's see if they're reading any other ones.
Speaker 12: I wanted the event rescheduled and quote then Yahoo, if
Speaker 12: you can hear me, drop some bonbonds for US Capstone
Speaker 12: students in Ocean bank conventions.
Speaker 1: Why did it have to be that?
Speaker 12: Other students wrote they didn't take that text lightly. She
Speaker 12: later in the chat wrote, quote, I wrote a dumb
Speaker 12: joke that should not have been made.
Speaker 1: I can understand. She said, oh, go back, go back.
Speaker 1: But I made a dumb joke that I should not
Speaker 1: have made.
Speaker 2: Saw we I saw we, I saw oh w wy
Speaker 2: sad face is what she said.
Speaker 1: I made a dumb joke that you not have been made.
Speaker 1: I saw we.
Speaker 5: I can understand. Your position is Corey, and you're saying
Speaker 5: this is a joke. But to an objective person, it's
Speaker 5: not a joke. And there would be enough for probable cause.
Speaker 1: That's truth saying it's enough for beyond a reasonable Dad.
Speaker 5: I don't know what the state's going to be able
Speaker 5: to prove it trial, but for purposes of this hearing,
Speaker 5: I believe there is.
Speaker 1: Enough for probable all right. So there they go, and
Speaker 1: the first tough it's the quote that the judge said
Speaker 1: was wrong. It says, oh no, no, no not, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I apologize. I did not mean for them to come
Speaker 1: out that way.
Speaker 2: The quote that the judge said was the worst one
Speaker 2: that you can take out of this.
Speaker 1: It's while in court.
Speaker 2: An FIU police officer also claims she wrote afterwards, there's
Speaker 2: gonna be a bomb in Ocean Bank Convocation Center and
Speaker 2: it was gonna be Jonathan's fault, referencing another student in
Speaker 2: the chat, that one's the closest.
Speaker 1: That one sounds like a threat, That one sounds the
Speaker 1: closest to a threat.
Speaker 2: It's like, there's gonna be a bomb in this place,
Speaker 2: and this person is to play.
Speaker 3: I think asking Net and Yahoo sounds so silly to
Speaker 3: drop a bomband to drop a bond bomb is not
Speaker 3: as actionable. I think the thing that she quoted is
Speaker 3: probably where they're aiming most of their I are at.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one is a little closer, somebody says. Keith
Speaker 2: on YouTube says that Judge is famous. I've seen her
Speaker 2: in so many viral clips.
Speaker 1: True.
Speaker 2: Absolute, Simply. Jeremy says Sean should spend the night in
Speaker 2: jail for burping on air. I apologize, how long have
Speaker 2: I been talking to this microphone? And how many times
Speaker 2: does that happen? This is not something that I do.
Speaker 2: I'm a human being, all right.
Speaker 3: I liked about you said Sean dropped a B that
Speaker 3: ends with an arup on air.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well true in that case.
Speaker 2: But should this woman go to jail for this or
Speaker 2: is that just her screwing around, joking around and it's
Speaker 2: not something that people should be charged with.
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. Some dispatch over at
Speaker 1: thenewsjunkie dot com. Did she at least tell the judge
Speaker 1: she was sawey?
Speaker 2: I I don't know if you said in person that
Speaker 2: she was sawy.
Speaker 3: But having to read that back, having to like see
Speaker 3: the news and like look at that and read it back,
Speaker 3: and now everybody who's watching this news story sees that
Speaker 3: you spelled I saw we at the end of my
Speaker 3: text about the bomb joke is so ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I would hate.
Speaker 2: It should be though off the Internet seven. Immediately off
Speaker 2: the Internet seven with you pass.
Speaker 1: Go directly to Internet seven quick break.

Speaker 2: Greatly appreciated. I almost died last night. I wanted to
Speaker 2: tell you this story, but I was waiting for a
Speaker 2: hot second here. We went to a local place. I
Speaker 2: think they have a bunch of locations actually, but Hillstone.
Speaker 2: We went to Hillstone last night Forge for birthday dinner
Speaker 2: and we get to hillertone. It's Courtney's dad's birthday. And
Speaker 2: if you've been listening to the show for a while,
Speaker 2: like Courtney's family is my family at this point in time,
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of family left.
Speaker 1: You know, my family.
Speaker 2: When I was six years old, we left Vermont and
Speaker 2: we moved down to Row up on Beach, Florida, so
Speaker 2: I didn't really have all the extended relatives around me
Speaker 2: growing up in Vermont. You know, I had some you know,
Speaker 2: loosely related people, and then ended up moving away from
Speaker 2: there to go to different places throughout my career. So
Speaker 2: my mother and father have passed. If you've listened to
Speaker 2: the show for years and years, you've you know, absolutely
Speaker 2: you've heard me talking about that. And my sister just
Speaker 2: passed unfortunately a handful of years ago.
Speaker 1: It's been a trying time and I don't have a
Speaker 1: lot of family.
Speaker 2: So what I do have is Courtney's mom and dad,
Speaker 2: and we love to spend time with them.
Speaker 1: We love to go out to dinner.
Speaker 2: And it was her dad's birthday, so we took them
Speaker 2: out to Hillstone. Went out to Hillstone, get a couple
Speaker 2: of drinks, get some some delicious foods. You know how
Speaker 2: it goes, And I guess right before we got there,
Speaker 2: her mom and dad got there early, and.
Speaker 1: He's celebrating his seventy eighth birthday. Guys, still as with
Speaker 1: it as you could ever be, in great shape, just
Speaker 1: killing it out there. Courtney's dad and Courtney's mom walked
Speaker 1: away from from her dad and went to go out
Speaker 1: onto this like peer area of the restaurant. There's like
Speaker 1: a dock area where he could be outside.
Speaker 2: She thought, we're here a little bit early, we might
Speaker 2: as well go down here, maybe enjoy the weather and
Speaker 2: have a glass of wine on the dock before Sean
Speaker 2: and Courtney you get here.
Speaker 3: But her husband have blue cheese stuffed olives there. So
Speaker 3: that is a that is a go to for derny martinis.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So so her her father, Courtney's dad doesn't see
Speaker 1: that her mom has walked away, and he's looking around
Speaker 1: and where is my wife? And he starts looking all over.
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know, this is like
Speaker 1: a nice restaurant. Okay, Hillstone is like a nice restaurant.
Speaker 1: Can't wear a hat in there. So I got a
Speaker 1: fresh haircut yesterday, and image that.
Speaker 2: Why you got your haircut. It's one of the reasons
Speaker 2: I put it off. Corny yells at me all the time.
Speaker 2: She's like, you're such a dodo. The haircut places around
Speaker 2: the corner. Every time you go you remark how fast
Speaker 2: it was and how I should have done it a
Speaker 2: long time ago.
Speaker 1: And she's exactly right. I don't know why I have Protestant.
Speaker 3: I'm so weird about that because you put something like
Speaker 3: that off that like takes ten to fifteen minutes and
Speaker 3: it's real, and it's it's it doesn't even really take
Speaker 3: a large chunk of your day or it's not the
Speaker 3: biggest inconvenience, Whereas my wife's nail place is the slowest
Speaker 3: damn thing. She like every time she we're off for
Speaker 3: a weekend and she has a Saturday off and she's like, well,
Speaker 3: you got to watch the baby, you know, while I
Speaker 3: go get my nails done. I'm like, yeah, okay, there
Speaker 3: goes three hours of what we could do.
Speaker 1: And she won't go to a different place corde yos
Speaker 1: for the same reason. Yeah, she's but she she says,
Speaker 1: it takes her four hours to get her hair done.
Speaker 1: It only takes you a couple of minutes. What are
Speaker 1: you wanting about, Sean.
Speaker 2: And it's not expensive either, like Seelan and I get
Speaker 2: her haircuts a pretty regular places, so you know, it
Speaker 2: doesn't cost.
Speaker 1: Much more tickets much time.
Speaker 2: Anyhow, I get the haircut done and can't wear a
Speaker 2: hat at this fancier place, He'll stone me go in
Speaker 2: and her dad lost, you know, his wife in the restaurant,
Speaker 2: didn't know where she was, and then he found her
Speaker 2: over at the bar area. So he goes up behind
Speaker 2: her at the bar area and wraps his arms around
Speaker 2: his wife.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2: No, pulls her in, Chuck, Chuck pulls his wife in
Speaker 2: and he plants a big kiss on his wife and
Speaker 2: he said, I lost you there for a second, and
Speaker 2: some woman who was definitely.
Speaker 1: Turned around. I'm sorry, but I don't know who you are.
Speaker 1: And he it hits him that is an absolute ton
Speaker 1: of bricks that he has just kissed a woman and
Speaker 1: grabbed onto her body. That is not that is not
Speaker 1: his wife, and it was. And afterwards he's like, she
Speaker 1: was beautiful. Though she was beautiful, Yes, she was beautiful.
Speaker 2: And I said, oh, this that's one of those moments
Speaker 2: where anybody other than her dad, because he's such an
Speaker 2: interesting character, anybody other than her dad, you're trying.
Speaker 1: To disappear in the moment.
Speaker 2: You're like, how can I make myself if I focus
Speaker 2: as hard as I can, can I make myself turn
Speaker 2: invisible right now? And he's like, oh, man, Ylia, and
Speaker 2: then he does straight out of a movie This is
Speaker 2: literally straight out of a movie or a TV show.
Speaker 2: He then goes and finds his wife and has her
Speaker 2: come over to look at the fake wife from behind
Speaker 2: so that he can show her.
Speaker 1: I thought he was going.
Speaker 3: To have her come over and and so he can
Speaker 3: show mystery woman the similarities.
Speaker 14: He did.
Speaker 1: He both, He just both. He's like, see, you guys
Speaker 1: look just like each other. That's why I do. That's
Speaker 1: why I accidentally made out with you in the middle
Speaker 1: of the bar and I'm going, oh my god, Chuck, Chuck,
Speaker 1: And I said, look, we've all made mistakes.
Speaker 2: Chuck, I said, I've gotten in the wrong car in
Speaker 2: the parking lot before he fresh Rock says still got
Speaker 2: it though, at least it wasn't an old ass lap. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean as far. But he did like wrap his
Speaker 2: arms around this mystery woman who definitely wasn't his wife
Speaker 2: and bring her face up and start making out with
Speaker 2: her face before before he realized it wasn't his wife.
Speaker 1: And I said, well, at least it's your birthday. At
Speaker 1: least you have that going on. He said. She was
Speaker 1: fine with it.
Speaker 3: I mean, listen of all the potential ways that could
Speaker 3: have gone. At least she appreciated the mistake and didn't
Speaker 3: like take this as some sort of I mean, she
Speaker 3: could have smacked him in the face. All kinds of
Speaker 3: things that would have happened with this that could have
Speaker 3: made this a worse situation, and she was very understanding.
Speaker 3: But oh, chuck good, that's good, good, good stuff that hurts.
Speaker 1: That hurts.
Speaker 2: Rachel says, I have opened the door to the wrong
Speaker 2: apartment walked in before.
Speaker 1: Man, when you do one of those things and you
Speaker 1: kind of look around and you realize, you slowly realize
Speaker 1: what you have just done, and it all kind of
Speaker 1: sinks in, it's the most painful thing.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh my god, man, I've gotten pretty lucky
Speaker 3: at stuff like that. I can't remember a specific situation,
Speaker 3: but there was there was a couple stories of people
Speaker 3: that I knew doing that. Opening the door to the
Speaker 3: wrong place definitely happened to my old roommate and he
Speaker 3: walked in and we were partying all day. This was
Speaker 3: like a labor day or a Memorial day. So he
Speaker 3: was hammered and he walked into the wrong house. He
Speaker 3: had gone out to his car to get cigarettes or something,
Speaker 3: and he walked into the wrong house and there was
Speaker 3: a family sitting down for dinner and the mother said.
Speaker 1: Child, you in the wrong house.
Speaker 2: Of those as you go, I I am lucky. The
Speaker 2: punishment for this wasn't a lot worse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it happens all of us.
Speaker 3: And then, of course, I mean we both remember when
Speaker 3: a good friend of ours thought they were talking to
Speaker 3: somebody that they knew and talked about fine looking pee.
Speaker 1: Yeah FLP.
Speaker 2: A friend of ours came up behind these two girls
Speaker 2: in their bathing suits of the pool and he puts
Speaker 2: his head right by the back of their heads and
Speaker 2: he goes, looks like there's a lot of fun looking pee,
Speaker 2: and he says the word in this pool today, and
Speaker 2: the girls turn around and look at him and they go, I'm.
Speaker 1: Sorry, who are you? Right now, we've all done it right.
Speaker 2: Let us know your story, said a dispatch over at
Speaker 2: thenewschunkie dot com. Right now, all right, when we come back,
Speaker 2: A couple of bits about the show, a couple of
Speaker 2: pieces of news I wanted to tell you, And this
Speaker 2: clip that I teased earlier, I said, it's one of
Speaker 2: the most unbelievable clips I've had in a while on
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to play this for you what is it?
Speaker 1: It's coming up next in the news junkie. I have
Speaker 1: never been in a hot air balloon, and I think
Speaker 1: I'll be able to go all of my years on
Speaker 1: this wild ride we call life. What an amazing thing,
Speaker 1: What an amazing experience that we happen to be spawned
Speaker 1: into this planet of ours and we get to wander
Speaker 1: around and explore this giant video game of life and
Speaker 1: make decisions and do things and have fun and support
Speaker 1: people we like and yell at people we don't like,
Speaker 1: and just all the ins and outs of what life
Speaker 1: actually is. It's mind blowing.
Speaker 2: But in my journey, I don't think I'm gonna take
Speaker 2: not a single moment of time and go up in
Speaker 2: a hot air balloon. It's just not for me. I
Speaker 2: don't know about UCIL. Maybe you're at taker on that,
Speaker 2: but I don't know.
Speaker 3: I would like to say that I don't even know
Speaker 3: if it's something my wife would want to do. And
Speaker 3: it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of space
Speaker 3: in there. I think when you go hot air ballooning,
Speaker 3: you need to go super early. That's when you have
Speaker 3: to get the good wind or the good views. I
Speaker 3: don't think you do a lot of afternoon to evening
Speaker 3: hot air ballooning.
Speaker 1: It seems like one of those yeah wee hours of
Speaker 1: the morning kind of operations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, it's not something I'm super interested in,
Speaker 3: And I wonder how I would feel about just the
Speaker 3: hanging basket there like that. Like the closest thing I've
Speaker 3: done and I have no problem doing. I've done it
Speaker 3: at least twice in my life is parasailing. Parasailing I
Speaker 3: don't have a problem with.
Speaker 1: But I don't know kind of ballsy really honestly think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: why attaching me to a parasaleing? No?
Speaker 14: Not.
Speaker 1: It's not a commentary, all right, Yeah, I'm not making
Speaker 1: a commentary about you. I'm just saying it's just, you know,
Speaker 1: you're braver than I am for even trying it. What
Speaker 1: happened in this case was a man walked down into
Speaker 1: his backyard. He's in Temecula, California, and he sees, well,
Speaker 1: probably the thing he would least expect in his backyard
Speaker 1: in California, he sees a hot air balloon that has
Speaker 1: landed in his backyard. The resident hunter, Perrin, says he
Speaker 1: was watching TV on Saturday morning when he got a
Speaker 1: knock on his front door from his neighbor. He says,
Speaker 1: we walked into the backyard and there's a basket full
Speaker 1: of thirteen people just sitting in the backyard looking at us.
Speaker 1: According to one of the hot air balloon riders, the
Speaker 1: pilot had to make an emergency landing because there wasn't
Speaker 1: enough wind and they only had a little bit of fuel. Laugh.
Speaker 1: The pilot tried.
Speaker 2: Landing in the street, but he ended up in these
Speaker 2: people's backyard. Now, I have to tell you, this California
Speaker 2: backyard is not really that big.
Speaker 1: No, it's tiny. Oh wow, it's a tiny little backyard. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I'll get this on see it now.
Speaker 2: This is a perfect screen shop moment for me right
Speaker 2: here to pit this up as the.
Speaker 3: Thumbnail for see it now. This is so awkward because
Speaker 3: it could go a few ways. But also if you're
Speaker 3: low on fuel. I don't know what fuels a hot
Speaker 3: air balloon. Is this a propane tank he has to
Speaker 3: swap out or is it something bigger or more difficult
Speaker 3: to acquire?
Speaker 1: I don't know. If it's propane, you might be able
Speaker 1: to say, hey, you got a little extra cropane in
Speaker 1: your grill there?
Speaker 2: We need to we need to get back airborne. We'll
Speaker 2: bring it back by when we're done with our journey.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Somebody who knows a lot more about hot air balloons
Speaker 2: can chime in. But this is the guy encountering this
Speaker 2: basket chock full of people attached to a giant hot
Speaker 2: air balloon in his backyard.
Speaker 1: Why everybody look at that? Wow? Hi everybody, how's your
Speaker 1: guys trip so far? It's just he's rolling with him here,
Speaker 1: he goes, how's your trip so far? How's everything going? Guys?
Speaker 2: How do you think it's going? We're in a basket.
Speaker 2: We've landed in your backyard.
Speaker 1: Sir? How many people are in that basket? Did you say? Thirteen? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so, Yeah, a lot of people. Is that
Speaker 1: a crowded hot air balloon ride? Or is that pretty normal?
Speaker 2: All I can tell you is it couldn't be much
Speaker 2: more crowded than this, that it's so full of these
Speaker 2: people that have landed in this backyard. And again, please
Speaker 2: picture the backyard as about as big as like a
Speaker 2: tiny city backyard, like just enough room for your dog
Speaker 2: to go out there and go to the bathroom, and
Speaker 2: not a whole lot more.
Speaker 1: But somehow they managed to land this thing. Yeah, oh
Speaker 1: my god. Actually that's that's a pretty good point. This
Speaker 1: is them landing.
Speaker 3: There were a lot of trees around there that they
Speaker 3: could have gotten snagged on, Like, there doesn't seem like
Speaker 3: a lot of room for error on this That is
Speaker 3: a tiny yard.
Speaker 2: It's so crazy that they were even able to land
Speaker 2: in this space. It's a little strip of a backyard.
Speaker 2: It might be tell me if I'm exaggerating here, ceiling
Speaker 2: a thirty foot deep backyard.
Speaker 1: It's not. That's not crazy. It's not very deep the backyard.
Speaker 2: And they squeezed this thing in there, and it was
Speaker 2: it was hard to even get it to land.
Speaker 1: This is the moment they were landing, and they kept
Speaker 1: going up and down, up and down. Good way, good
Speaker 1: morning morning. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Imagine if you just it's for twenty today, folks, Imagine
Speaker 2: if you just smoked the bowl, if you had just
Speaker 2: if you had just hit for the pipe and you
Speaker 2: blew it all out, and you're watching TV and you go, wait,
Speaker 2: what's happening, What's what's.
Speaker 1: Going on here? Uh, there's a hot air balloon in
Speaker 1: my backyard. No, I mean, this is California. Weed's pretty
Speaker 1: easy to come by this. That could have been the
Speaker 1: case anyway. This guy was so chill. Who had him?
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, guys, I love the little conversation he
Speaker 1: has over together.
Speaker 14: Hey, look at that.
Speaker 1: I know. Wow, that would be a mind f I think.
Speaker 1: How's your guys trip so far?
Speaker 2: Yes, everybody is taking this really well all things considered.
Speaker 2: They could have been much more upset about this, but
Speaker 2: there they go.
Speaker 3: Says Hot air balloons primarily use liquid propane as fuel.
Speaker 3: I don't think you could just take your grill tank
Speaker 3: over there and load them up stored and specialized stainless
Speaker 3: dealer aluminum tanks. Within the basket, A burner system vaporizes
Speaker 3: the propane to create the powerful, consistent flame. A typical
Speaker 3: one to two hour flight consumes thirty to forty dollars
Speaker 3: worth of fuel. Wow, and it's liquid propane gas, often
Speaker 3: referred to as balloon grade, which sounds like more expensive
Speaker 3: than your typical LP tank.
Speaker 2: But you can run it tight in your vehicle on
Speaker 2: the way home. You can, you know, go a little
Speaker 2: bit low on fuel and this thing that thing, but
Speaker 2: not in your hot air balloon. You might want to
Speaker 2: get that thing filled up. I'm putting this up on
Speaker 2: See it now Obviously it's a visual and I would
Speaker 2: love for you to take a look at some point
Speaker 2: in time, head on over to the website where's that.
Speaker 2: It's called the Newsjunkie dot com Thenewsjunkie dot com. Hot
Speaker 2: Air Balloon Blooper is what I'm going to put and
Speaker 2: that's up for you on the website when you get home,
Speaker 2: when you get a moment.
Speaker 1: Of free time. A lot of stuff falling out of
Speaker 1: the skies today on the show, and that's just another
Speaker 1: one of them. So go check that out the news
Speaker 1: Junkie dot com and to see it Now section and
Speaker 1: it's up for you and ready to go. We watched
Speaker 1: this weekend. We haven't gotten too far through it just yet.
Speaker 1: I think we're about three episodes in to the new
Speaker 1: season of this show Beef w whoh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: The first season was kind of fun.
Speaker 2: It was about the road rage moment and in Ali
Speaker 2: Wong I think, so there were some pretty famous it
Speaker 2: was like mostly Asian actors the first time that we're
Speaker 2: the pretty well known Asian actors and this time they
Speaker 2: have like a whole different crew of people and.
Speaker 1: It's a new Beef it's not the same beef. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a new Beef. And I don't know why.
Speaker 2: I thought, like my my brain was in Dodo mode.
Speaker 2: I thought, well, it's just gonna be another road rage thing.
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 2: The show's basically just about people who have some sort
Speaker 2: of beef with one another. The only thing annoying about
Speaker 2: this show is that every very unclever person who is
Speaker 2: reviewing it has to make puns galore about how it
Speaker 2: seems like this season's a bit too well done, or
Speaker 2: maybe this season was a bit rare and wasn't you know,
Speaker 2: up to it. Maybe this season could use a little
Speaker 2: bit more condiments. And you're like, oh, shut up.
Speaker 1: Comment one really works, But that draws me. You look
Speaker 1: up Beef season two. I might even be able to
Speaker 1: bring it up here. Beef season two is.
Speaker 3: A completely different cast, nobody from the first season, and
Speaker 3: and different Beef altogether.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, is this one over golf? Because I see
Speaker 1: a golf club in the poster.
Speaker 2: It's at a really fancy golf resort type place. That's
Speaker 2: where the whole thing is based. And so far it's
Speaker 2: another one of these clever shows. I have to give
Speaker 2: Hollywood credit where credit is due these shows are designed
Speaker 2: to target different audiences at the same time, and I
Speaker 2: think this is a very clever trick that they use.
Speaker 1: Beef season two is.
Speaker 2: Basically a gen X slash millennial couple versus a gen
Speaker 2: Z couple, and pick your poison.
Speaker 1: Which of these relationships do you like? Do you like
Speaker 1: the sturdier, more rigid gen X millennial relationship where they
Speaker 1: acknowledge that sometimes you're going to get in some big
Speaker 1: blowout fights and stuff and then or is it the
Speaker 1: gen Z one where the very much loaded up on
Speaker 1: trauma type language and therapy talk and all that. So
Speaker 1: I think that they did this thing where they're targeting
Speaker 1: younger people and then millennial and gen X people at
Speaker 1: the same time with these different couples, and you're supposed
Speaker 1: to hate the one that's not you, so you know
Speaker 1: that is kind of clever. Yeah, you're like this this
Speaker 1: couple is so cringe right now, but the gen Z
Speaker 1: people are probably thinking that about the other couple. Is
Speaker 1: really it's really quite smart actually, so we just started
Speaker 1: watching that. However, I'll tell you I'm now fully convinced
Speaker 1: and blackpilled on this. The future is just so much
Speaker 1: product placement it's just so much product placement. And this
Speaker 1: I started taking.
Speaker 2: A note because Courtney kept pointing out, I'm such a dope.
Speaker 1: I don't recognize half of them.
Speaker 2: And Courtney would just go product placement, product placement every time.
Speaker 2: She would get it every time, be somebody sitting there.
Speaker 1: Holding an Amazon box, and I don't even I just
Speaker 1: think people hold Amazon boxes sometimes.
Speaker 3: At some point? Are we supposed to not use any
Speaker 3: real products?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: I think it's sometimes cheesy when shows will do like
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, we're going to use this, uh this
Speaker 3: app to call you a ride and you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: they're doing uber or lyft yeah, and they're like it's
Speaker 3: called thrill.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Flow, I'm gonna request my flow ride because I'm
Speaker 1: a flow rider. I didn't mean to do that, but.
Speaker 3: But like so sometimes I think that's cheesy. But then
Speaker 3: I was watching something the other day where the guy's like,
Speaker 3: I'll get you a lift, and I was like, is
Speaker 3: this one of those things? Are we are we doing
Speaker 3: a product placement here? And I think I think it
Speaker 3: didn't turn out good for the person that ordered the lift,
Speaker 3: and so I was like, I don't know that that
Speaker 3: is a product placement lift would have paid for because
Speaker 3: at the end of it, like they got screwed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it better if they are.
Speaker 2: But in this one, there there's a moment where the
Speaker 2: gen Z couple is going to celebrate and he goes, Babe,
Speaker 2: we got to do something big, we got to celebrate.
Speaker 2: We want to bust out one of the good dejorna's.
Speaker 2: She goes, she goes, hell yeah, and then he goes, Dude,
Speaker 2: the double Supreme one, the Double Supreme Dejorna.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be so amazing. We're gonna well, well, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be so good.
Speaker 2: And they pop out the dejorna and they're making a
Speaker 2: dejorna in this Beef season two episode and I'm only
Speaker 2: halfway picking up on this corner goes up another advertisement.
Speaker 1: The one that we played from High Potential. That's what
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, that one was.
Speaker 3: One where I was like, that was a little clunky
Speaker 3: and a little cringe. And I think the the Amazon
Speaker 3: Prime one was clunky and cringe, but the co pilot
Speaker 3: one could only have been worse. If she said Microsoft
Speaker 3: co pilot. He's like, I'm just gonna put this into
Speaker 3: co pilot and it's going to do a quick spreadsheet
Speaker 3: for me to compare all the things from the Da Da.
Speaker 1: Da and I was like, that was weird. It's so clumsy, right.
Speaker 2: One of the scenes in Beef season two, we just
Speaker 2: have to we have to embrace it, folks. We're gonna
Speaker 2: get the product placement.
Speaker 1: Whether you like it or not. We're going to get it. Though.
Speaker 3: One of the things that's because not enough of you
Speaker 3: are downgrading to the Netflix with ads like they want
Speaker 3: you to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think people are going to get these regardless.
Speaker 2: So one of the scenes, a woman goes, I'm looking
Speaker 2: for something refreshing to drink. She goes, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'd like to order a white claw and the guy goes,
Speaker 2: white claw, what flavor?
Speaker 1: And she goes strawberry white claw and he goes, that's
Speaker 1: my favorite type of berry all but looks at the
Speaker 1: camera and winks and then they one. She goes, can
Speaker 1: you do me a favor? Can you go get me
Speaker 1: some hip new clothes from H and M so I
Speaker 1: have some stuff to wear over the next couple of months.
Speaker 2: I don't have time to go to this chopping mall.
Speaker 2: But if you could go to H and M. They
Speaker 2: have great deals and you can pick up some clothes
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 3: Are certain things about the product placement ad that make
Speaker 3: it a little obvious is when you use too many
Speaker 3: words to do the same thing. So if they were
Speaker 3: somebody that went like, I want a white claw, what
Speaker 3: flavor do you want? I want ruby grapefruit? Nobody says
Speaker 3: that they say grapefruit white claw. But because you're paying
Speaker 3: for this ad to be in there and you want
Speaker 3: it to use the same words that you use, you
Speaker 3: make it sound even clunkier.
Speaker 1: I would like a ruby grapefruit white claw.
Speaker 2: If your friend did that at a party, you'd go, you, okay,
Speaker 2: did you bump your head somewhere?
Speaker 1: But that's what's going on, and you're basically in the trumanship.
Speaker 1: Like here's somebody's reactions. Let me see if I can bring
Speaker 1: this up here because there's so many of these. This
Speaker 1: person said Beef season two's ad campaign makes me want
Speaker 1: to blow my brains out. And Netflix.
Speaker 2: This is Netflix their post of it on a social
Speaker 2: media and it says settling a beef once and for all.
Speaker 2: Is it the millennials or gen Z who actually have
Speaker 2: the happier relationships? Watch Beef season two, streaming on Netflix
Speaker 2: April sixteenth. So this just came out, and they're pitching
Speaker 2: this as like millennials versus gen Z. The thing that
Speaker 2: stands out to me is I don't think the millennial couple.
Speaker 2: The reason why I said gen X is I don't
Speaker 2: think these are actual millennials. I think they're older. I
Speaker 2: think these people, the actors who play that millennial role,
Speaker 2: I think they're actually gen X. But Netflix pitched it
Speaker 2: as millennials versus gen Z in this and this person said,
Speaker 2: Holy as if they hadn't advertised to me at all,
Speaker 2: I would have watched it. But I'm seeing this in
Speaker 2: a fake Reddit post as an ad for Beef season two,
Speaker 2: and my god, this is so cringe. Everything feels so inauthentic,
Speaker 2: which is crazy since season one was full of so
Speaker 2: many great Asian actors.
Speaker 1: I don't know why the f.
Speaker 2: Any but he thought this was a good idea, but
Speaker 2: it wasn't. You're dumb and I'm dumber two now because
Speaker 2: of you not sure this is the right sub So
Speaker 2: they had to talk about the Asian actors thing because
Speaker 2: Reddit's going to Reddit. And then somebody said, going from
Speaker 2: an almost entirely Asian cash cast to an entirely white.
Speaker 1: One is a silly decision. This person is dumb.
Speaker 2: They're a redditor who does like everybody else and they've
Speaker 2: never watched any of this stuff. Well, it was like,
Speaker 2: there's like two white people in the Beef season two.
Speaker 2: It's mostly people who are of all sorts of different backgrounds,
Speaker 2: including a whole bunch of Asians.
Speaker 1: Well the stars of it.
Speaker 3: As an Asian woman, I would see where you would
Speaker 3: think that Beef was an Asian show because of the
Speaker 3: amount of Asians that were in the first season. However,
Speaker 3: would it change that person's mind to learn that the
Speaker 3: writer Lee Sung Jin is still doing season two.
Speaker 1: The writer of Beef has written this to be a
Speaker 1: different story. Now, Yeah, And all the person.
Speaker 2: Did was look at a thumbnail and assume all the
Speaker 2: people were white when two of the people are from
Speaker 2: different backgrounds than she's anticipating in the actual thumbnail or
Speaker 2: he's anticipating. Whoever the city it is who posted this stuff. Anyhow,
Speaker 2: there was a lot of people who were commenting on
Speaker 2: that and on the product placement. And then I looked
Speaker 2: and I said, is this catching on? As you know
Speaker 2: from listening to the show, I keep my eye on
Speaker 2: what audience is like what they don't like? What are
Speaker 2: they listening to in radio? What are they listening to
Speaker 2: in podcasts? On television shows at the box office.
Speaker 1: I follow all of the numbers, and they dropped it
Speaker 1: on Netflix. Number one on Netflix is Trust Me the
Speaker 1: False Prophet, the documentary about the cult that I told
Speaker 1: you guys to watch. Number two is Big Mistakes. That's
Speaker 1: the new Daniel Levy.
Speaker 2: We watched it a little bit of that, yeah, where
Speaker 2: he accidentally ends up in like a mafia outfit or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And we watched some of it, and it's good.
Speaker 3: It's good when we don't have a lot of time
Speaker 3: left because I think those are only thirty minute episodes.
Speaker 3: One of the things we're watching right now is only
Speaker 3: thirty minute episodes. So if we if we're kind of
Speaker 3: in limbo on how much time we have left, we'll
Speaker 3: just throw one of those.
Speaker 1: On.
Speaker 3: My wife's problem, I don't it doesn't annoy me as much.
Speaker 3: She finds that Dan Levy's character in this is like
Speaker 3: like she's just watching the Shit's Creek Guy again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing the same thing, all right, Oh, I
Speaker 2: haven't seen that yet. Number three is Temptation Island, The
Speaker 2: Sexy reality show. Number four is American Godfather The five
Speaker 2: Sexy two. This is on Netflix right now. Number five
Speaker 2: is Soletion Jordan Matter. I have no idea what the
Speaker 2: hell that even is. Jordan Matter, I've not heard anything about.
Speaker 1: Number six is Trevor Noah's news stand up in the Trenches,
Speaker 1: Join the Trenches. Number seven is some competition show called
Speaker 1: Million Dollar Secret. Number eight is Bandy, some French thing.
Speaker 2: Number nine is a documentary about Sitting Bull the Native
Speaker 2: American and number ten is Beef season two. So it's
Speaker 2: not exactly run off to the races in first place
Speaker 2: just yet.
Speaker 1: But if you've watched it and you have thoughts and
Speaker 1: you saw that product placement, let me know what you think.
Speaker 1: We'll get to your feedback in a bit. Some news
Speaker 1: about the show is coming up next on the News.
Speaker 2: Chunky, some news for you, and we're gonna have to
Speaker 2: like get a couple of things out there and clear.
Speaker 1: It's like obviously an odd time on the show.
Speaker 2: A lot of moving parts and stuff, a lot of
Speaker 2: people confidently thinking that they have some clue about what's
Speaker 2: going on, which we discussed a little bit earlier on
Speaker 2: in the show. A lot of people with like zero
Speaker 2: faith and where any of this goes from here. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean that's a little interesting to watch. I don't
Speaker 2: want to control anybody's speech, so I let people mouth
Speaker 2: off wherever they want to, and people say nice things,
Speaker 2: people say all kinds of things about the show. It's
Speaker 2: been that way for a long time. You know, when
Speaker 2: the first when the show first started.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, back in the day, when
Speaker 1: I first started the News Junkie to go way way
Speaker 1: way back, the audience was so small and just building
Speaker 1: at that point that there wasn't even a negative person
Speaker 1: out there. There wasn't like I'm talking about twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: There wasn't a single negative person because the audience is
Speaker 1: like small. And then I start building up a bit
Speaker 1: of a following from South Florida Fort Lauderdale, Miami area
Speaker 1: to West Palm Beach on a couple of different stations,
Speaker 1: including WJNO in that area where I started the News
Speaker 1: Junkie show, and then up to Chicago.
Speaker 2: Obviously with a massive, massive megaphone in WGN Radio. Most
Speaker 2: of the time, I'd be talking to twenty states. In
Speaker 2: about twenty states can hear the signal from seven to
Speaker 2: twenty WGN Radio and take a boatload of calls and
Speaker 2: mix it up with people, and again, producers have producers,
Speaker 2: have multiple producers, producers with producers, and the audience starts
Speaker 2: to build up at that time, and you know, when
Speaker 2: you're talking to that many people in a big market
Speaker 2: like that, you get some pushback on things. I'm look,
Speaker 2: I'm not stupid, despite what some of you people might think.
Speaker 2: I know that my job in here is to come
Speaker 2: in and get behind the mic and sometimes be a
Speaker 2: little bombastic.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't want me to be boring. I don't think
Speaker 1: I am here to mix things up and stir things
Speaker 1: up and try to create an entertaining show for four
Speaker 1: hours each day.
Speaker 2: And so obviously when you do that, you know, as
Speaker 2: I did in Chicago at that point, and get a
Speaker 2: little pushback here there, But mostly it's just this big
Speaker 2: positive movement that was building and growing. And then the
Speaker 2: five Am days. I would have so many people who
Speaker 2: would tune in to the five Am show when I
Speaker 2: first started in our home station now WWTKS, and they
Speaker 2: would just lavish me with praise.
Speaker 1: They'd be like, I love the show. It's unbelievable. I
Speaker 1: still run into people all the time.
Speaker 3: They're just happy that somebody was up at the same
Speaker 3: time as them.
Speaker 2: You're not wrong. I understand that, all right. I do
Speaker 2: understand that that is the case. But eventually we get affiliates,
Speaker 2: the show goes into a syndication, and we pick up
Speaker 2: markets all over the place. Sometimes you're the new show
Speaker 2: and people are like, who the hell are these guys?
Speaker 2: What's this guy blabbing about? Then when the audience gets
Speaker 2: past one point, I don't even remember what point it was,
Speaker 2: but at some point it just becomes something you cannot
Speaker 2: control anymore.
Speaker 1: You can't there's nothing you can do.
Speaker 2: I've got like one hundred and fifty thousand people on Facebook,
Speaker 2: and you know, tens of thousands on all these other platforms,
Speaker 2: and just a massive quantity of people who listen to
Speaker 2: the show every day. Some of you are going to
Speaker 2: like me, and just like you're gonna have all sorts
Speaker 2: of feelings on things, and most of you have no
Speaker 2: idea what's going on. You don't know that, but you
Speaker 2: have no idea what's going on. So on one thing
Speaker 2: and I thought this was like at least a tiny
Speaker 2: positive thing that has come up in the last couple
Speaker 2: of days. Here on the show, not me and my contract,
Speaker 2: just for the record, because I have seventy days left
Speaker 2: on that and I'm not currently talking to iHeartRadio or
Speaker 2: the suits about anything to do with any of this
Speaker 2: at the moment, at least not with my contract. But
Speaker 2: iHeart did tell us that we can have a small
Speaker 2: budget to bring in some people to join us, some
Speaker 2: friends to join us along for the ride over the
Speaker 2: next couple of weeks whill we sort.
Speaker 1: Some things out.
Speaker 2: So you will be hearing some other voices pop up
Speaker 2: here and there on the show.
Speaker 1: We got some folks coming in a couple of days.
Speaker 2: This week, and we're going to mix it up with
Speaker 2: all sorts of different personalities. And you know, if somebody
Speaker 2: will probably say, is Sabrina going to be coming in?
Speaker 1: Will she be able to stop by?
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, with the contracts that we have at iHeart and
Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk about anybody else's contract other
Speaker 2: than my own, obviously, but with the contracts that we
Speaker 2: have at iHeart, when you're getting paid out, you can't
Speaker 2: you can't come to the company, you can't come to
Speaker 2: the office. You're literally not allowed to You're not allowed
Speaker 2: to legally show up at the office and at the
Speaker 2: station if you're getting paid out by the company.
Speaker 1: So that's one thing you got to kind of sort through.
Speaker 1: And then you know on my stream decks back. I've
Speaker 1: got them here and I'll take great care of them.
Speaker 1: I promise you that. The other thing is I don't
Speaker 1: know if she is interested in that. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I talk to Sabrina a little bit this weekend, just
Speaker 2: very briefly, and I think we are going to have
Speaker 2: a conversation tomorrow. And I've been thinking about this stuff
Speaker 2: a lot, as everybody does their fan fiction thing. And
Speaker 2: here's what's happening, and here's the real reason, and here's
Speaker 2: that I've been thinking, what can we do?
Speaker 1: What are the ideas. I'm a big idea guy. I
Speaker 1: like to try to figure out things that make everybody happy.
Speaker 1: I like to I like to try to figure out
Speaker 1: things that will will keep the audience.
Speaker 2: Coming back for more. And I've got a couple ideas here.
Speaker 2: I have a few ideas on how we can proceed.
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to happen with that. I
Speaker 2: feel at least mild positive about it. I think there's
Speaker 2: some potential for some of these plans to turn out
Speaker 2: really good.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: I do, So I'm gonna have some conversations this week.
Speaker 2: I have to, unfortunately, talk with some of the suits
Speaker 2: at I heart, and I have to talk to a
Speaker 2: lot of.
Speaker 1: People along the journey, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I can't, as much as some of you would want
Speaker 2: me to, I can't just like burn everything down because
Speaker 2: I have to when I see a path, I have
Speaker 2: to clear the path to get there, and that involves
Speaker 2: talking to a lot of these suits and figuring things out.
Speaker 2: What can I do, what can I do, what can
Speaker 2: I leverage with my own contract, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2: So this weekend I landed on after some long conversations
Speaker 2: a couple of ideas, we're and have some talks about that.
Speaker 2: We're going to see what works and then I'll try
Speaker 2: to keep you in the loop as much as as
Speaker 2: much as I can throughout the process. But other than that,
Speaker 2: when you see everybody talking online about something like this,
Speaker 2: know that most people have no clue what they're talking about,
Speaker 2: and people just like to argue about things.
Speaker 1: That's something that certainly happens from time to time. But
Speaker 1: I think that's positive.
Speaker 2: We've got at least We've worked some budget out of them,
Speaker 2: so we can start working some friends in on the
Speaker 2: show as early as this week, so you hear some
Speaker 2: voices that are popping in. I've got a couple of options,
Speaker 2: a couple of paths forward. I am actually more positive
Speaker 2: than negative about those directions. I cannot share all of
Speaker 2: that with you now for a million obvious reasons. I'm
Speaker 2: sure many of you will understand this.
Speaker 1: Some of you will not. Oh no, no, everybody's pretty
Speaker 1: an understanding shown.
Speaker 2: One thing is for sure, I will stop see Lane
Speaker 2: from labbing on about these Jackson stories.
Speaker 1: Got it, We all get it. You got an adorable
Speaker 1: little kid. Okay, sure, he's one out of a million.
Speaker 1: He's an adorable little with a big giant personality, and
Speaker 1: he's probably going to be a WWE star someday.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, it's probably, but good I'll keep him at Bay.
Speaker 2: I'll keep him in Bay sometime here. So anyhow, stick
Speaker 2: with us. And that's that's about the most I can
Speaker 2: tell you right now. But I'm you know, I think
Speaker 2: there are some things that can happen here over the
Speaker 2: next couple of weeks, and the only way you're gonna
Speaker 2: find out is if you hang out with us. You
Speaker 2: listen Jackson Sean. I know he did a trademark that
Speaker 2: real soon. He needs to get that one.
Speaker 1: Happened.
Speaker 2: Put that out there, all right. We got jury duty
Speaker 2: coming up next here on the show. I got to
Speaker 2: get to a couple of things that we tease and
Speaker 2: haven't gotten to. We got to get to your feedback,
Speaker 2: your your emails, your dispatches, all of that good stuff,
Speaker 2: and it's all coming up next.
Speaker 1: I'm the news Chunky. Was this something I said? See Len,
Speaker 1: it's minor heart attack just now? Wow?
Speaker 2: I thought I must have really upset him. See Lane,
Speaker 2: I look down. I'm not connected to iHeart HQ anymore.
Speaker 2: See Lane is gone. He has left.
Speaker 1: All the video feeds are gone, and I'm going, is
Speaker 1: this it does?
Speaker 2: He He's had enough, he doesn't want to deal with
Speaker 2: it anymore.
Speaker 1: He's stomping his way out of here.
Speaker 3: There was some little weird blip, but it happened to
Speaker 3: be like just forty seconds before we come back from break.
Speaker 3: I am not prepared to do anything alone in here.
Speaker 3: I would be like Garth on Wayne's World, like.
Speaker 1: I'm having a great time. Not thank you for listening today, friends.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so and my all my screens that have cameras
Speaker 3: that have views of your studio, that have anything went
Speaker 3: completely dark, and I was like, he's probably overdoing skull Mike.
Speaker 3: I don't even know, Like if I if I call
Speaker 3: out to him, he's not even gonna be He's gonna
Speaker 3: have to get back to the microphone. I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: have much confirmation that we're still connected, and then I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be.
Speaker 1: You know, it got silent in here. I was talking.
Speaker 1: I go, what happened? Is this the end is? Because
Speaker 1: I could imagine, I can imagine a couple of the suits.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, pull the lever. I don't know why
Speaker 1: there's a lever, but I just envisioned there being a lever,
Speaker 1: and they were gonna do a button.
Speaker 3: Mouth They're gonna do a button and then they listened
Speaker 3: to you just kind of ramble on more and be
Speaker 3: a dick more and they said, take away the button
Speaker 3: and connect it to a lever.
Speaker 1: Who's this guy think he is? He's yapping, running his
Speaker 1: mouth so much. Just hit pull the lever.
Speaker 3: I remember the remember the April fools prank where the stream
Speaker 3: deck said they were gonna they were going to release
Speaker 3: a new Stream Deck that had a lever. That's what
Speaker 3: they wanted. They wanted, you know, for some things, you
Speaker 3: want a lever, and that that's gonna be their thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes the most amazing thing is when I'll
Speaker 2: have a conversation with the suits at this company. The
Speaker 2: feedback isn't what you would think it would be. I'm
Speaker 2: sure in New York City and San Antonio, where I'm
Speaker 2: sure they're like, just shut this idiot up. We got
Speaker 2: we're counting down the.
Speaker 1: Days on this dummies contract. But one thing that might
Speaker 1: shock some of you is a lot of times when
Speaker 1: I talk to the executives like really great shot yesterday,
Speaker 1: really really amazing. I'm like, I I was saying some
Speaker 1: things like it's just amazing, really good broadcasting, top shelf stuff.
Speaker 1: Sean I go, okay, all right, all right, fine, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes people will go it's because Sean talks trash.
Speaker 1: That's why we end up at these things.
Speaker 2: Trust me when I say, if anybody tells you that
Speaker 2: they are absolutely retarded. They don't know what's going on,
Speaker 2: they don't know how anything works, they don't you know,
Speaker 2: they don't know anything if they if they tell you
Speaker 2: something like that. But yeah, I mean I gave you
Speaker 2: an update a couple of minutes ago, and we'll see
Speaker 2: if we have anything else for you this week. But
Speaker 2: right now it's time, friends, So let's go together. Let's
Speaker 2: do jury duty.
Speaker 1: Cord is now in session, and so put your phone
Speaker 1: down and pay attention before we call the bailiff over

Speaker 1: MO to it.
Speaker 2: Eight hundred, CALLMO. Eight hundred, CALLMO. You hear me talking
Speaker 2: about them all the time. But I'm serious, legitimately, I'm serious.
Speaker 2: If you get into an accident, you go for this route,
Speaker 2: you go for MO because there's so many other attorneys
Speaker 2: out there, and you will, I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 1: You will have a bad experience. You'll go. Well, everything
Speaker 1: started off fast enough.
Speaker 2: They started my case file, and they took some notes
Speaker 2: down By the way, it's somebody in like a sales
Speaker 2: lab where probably across the country or even around the world,
Speaker 2: who's doing that. And then next thing I know, they
Speaker 2: ghosted me. I didn't hear anything about this case that
Speaker 2: I have. It seemed like I wasn't important to them.
Speaker 2: I don't want that for you. I want you to
Speaker 2: be treated the right way after your accident. And the
Speaker 2: only way I can tell you to combat that and
Speaker 2: get somebody who respects you is to call MO and
Speaker 2: the folks at just Calmo, and I mean that from
Speaker 2: the bottom of my heart.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred Calmo, Justcalmo dot com.
Speaker 2: The daughter of the woman Lynette Hooker, the Hookers in Hopetown,
Speaker 2: the daughter of the woman who went missing in the
Speaker 2: Bahamas after falling overboard on a boat ride with her husband,
Speaker 2: is now claiming her stepfather quote.
Speaker 1: Probably pre planned the tragic event. That's what she's saying now.
Speaker 2: Carly Aylesworth is the daughter of Lynette Hooker, fifty five
Speaker 2: of Onsted, Michigan. She plunged into the Abaco Islands water
Speaker 2: on April fourth, while traveling with her partner, Brian Hooker
Speaker 2: fifty nine years old, to their boat in Laka. And
Speaker 2: they remind you that Brian Hooker told all of us,
Speaker 2: told the world that he would never stop searching for
Speaker 2: his wife. He told all of us, He told the
Speaker 2: world they would have to pry him away from there.
Speaker 2: There would have to be somebody more powerful than him
Speaker 2: that orders him to stop searching for his wife.
Speaker 1: Uh sorry, see you later got to go. He left.
Speaker 1: We don't know that he did not get those orders. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. Maybe maybe somebody that the Bahama started yelling.
Speaker 1: But I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Now her saying this, and like, obviously we're kind of
Speaker 3: getting the picture that she believes that he had something
Speaker 3: to do with this, or he was not acting in
Speaker 3: good faith in some way, shape or form here with
Speaker 3: the disappearance of her mother.
Speaker 1: But she didn't say Brian killed her, or she's like
Speaker 1: Brian probably. I think Brian probably.
Speaker 3: Nothing's actionable, actionable about saying you believe somebody killed her mother,
Speaker 3: is it.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not That's another great Ques question. I
Speaker 2: hate to go to page two. I hate to do it,
Speaker 2: but that's a good question. What if I say, like,
Speaker 2: imagine there's some strange circumstance and I say, I really
Speaker 2: believe see Lane killed somebody, and you go, well, that's ridiculous, Sean.
Speaker 2: I go, no, no, no, hang on, Like, here's why I
Speaker 2: feel this way, And I outlined this. I go, he
Speaker 2: was here, this happened circumstantially, this, this and this in
Speaker 2: the past. I heard Celane say this and now and
Speaker 2: I lay it out. I'm like, I legitimately think that
Speaker 2: this person did this thing. I think you're in the
Speaker 2: clear if you believe what you're saying. I think it's
Speaker 2: when you knowingly lie, and I say, I think se
Speaker 2: Lane killed a fifth grader.
Speaker 3: Take, for example, Candice Owens, who is saying one hundred
Speaker 3: percent that Bridget Macrone has a penis, right, not I
Speaker 3: believe Bridget Macrone has a penis.
Speaker 1: She's saying, she's reporting it as news.
Speaker 2: It's fat emphatically and as a matter of fact.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm not backing down. She's what you might
Speaker 1: call a dumb sea word in certain.
Speaker 2: Quarters, certain things that I would say into this microphone
Speaker 2: where I not to have so many rules in front
Speaker 2: of me. But yes, I think that that there's a
Speaker 2: distinction between those like I would believe that this woman,
Speaker 2: the daughter of Lynette Hooker, believes that, and she has
Speaker 2: plenty of reason to believe that.
Speaker 1: She has plenty of reasons.
Speaker 2: She's like my mom was having major problems with him.
Speaker 2: They had domestic incidents. They had issues because he was
Speaker 2: a bad drinker and he would be mean. She couldn't
Speaker 2: stand him on this damn boat. It was a huge problem.
Speaker 2: He was talking about.
Speaker 1: Throwing her overboard and then he did so.
Speaker 2: In my case, I would have thought, like, that's totally
Speaker 2: legit for her to think that her mother was murdered
Speaker 2: by this guy. She says, I was like, hey mom,
Speaker 2: I'm here. She said, when I first got to the Bahamas,
Speaker 2: I sat up and looked at the boat and started
Speaker 2: talking to her like she was there. She said, hey mom,
Speaker 2: I'm here wherever you are. Just want to talk to
Speaker 2: you and see you again. Her stepfather toldally that he
Speaker 2: and the mother left around seven thirty pm and an
Speaker 2: eight foot dinghy.
Speaker 1: He said, Lynette.
Speaker 2: Slipped and fell in poor weather while holding the key
Speaker 2: to the small boat, which caused the him to shut off.
Speaker 1: We all know the rest. And John Over on TJ
Speaker 1: chat said, I will never stop looking for a wife,
Speaker 1: Give me a break.
Speaker 2: It didn't take him much, did it. From from the tears,
Speaker 2: the tears that he had in this interview he did
Speaker 2: after they released him from jail, and he had these
Speaker 2: crocodile tears pouring down his cheek, and he said, I
Speaker 2: will never leave. I will never stop looking for And
Speaker 2: within a day, that son of a bitch was on
Speaker 2: a plane saying his mom was sick and getting out
Speaker 2: of there.
Speaker 1: My mom's not doing well. It's like, okay, kiss my ass.
Speaker 1: That's a little that's that's maybe one.
Speaker 3: Of mysies lose my wife and not ten to my
Speaker 3: sick mom in the same month.
Speaker 2: It is like, all of this is quite convenience. Once mon,
Speaker 2: it's better.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go find whatever little island Lynette had to
Speaker 3: float off to.
Speaker 1: She'll be fine, probably doing fine, She'll be okay, a
Speaker 1: quick break.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll get to the Power Hour,
Speaker 2: the final hour of the show. We'll talk about this
Speaker 2: mystery white pickup truck terrifying women. What's happening in this
Speaker 2: white pickup truck? What's going on?
Speaker 1: That is coming up next on the news junk key.
Speaker 1: Did you or did you not? See? Lane? Then you're
Speaker 1: under oath right now? Did you or did you not? Say?
Speaker 2: It would be interesting if we did the Power hour
Speaker 2: of the show and actually did a power hour with
Speaker 2: drinking to see.
Speaker 1: If we can make it through that. I said it
Speaker 1: would be interesting. It wasn't a promise. Maybe not a promise.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's making a little bit of a mountain out
Speaker 1: of a molehill sort of situation. But I definitely it's
Speaker 1: in the cards at least, it's definitely, at the very
Speaker 1: least in the cards. And also people should know we
Speaker 1: haven't done a live show in a quite a long time. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's supposedly one coming up before too long. And you know,
Speaker 1: they never know what's gonna happen, you know, you never
Speaker 1: know what's gonna want to do the live show Power Hour?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I've maybe maybe that might.
Speaker 2: Be an interesting one to do. I think people will
Speaker 2: have fun and like it. We have some surprises and whatnot.
Speaker 2: It could be a good time for sure. I have
Speaker 2: the concepts of a plan, you know.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all it takes. All right, that's all
Speaker 1: it takes. Is that what I sounded like earlier. I've
Speaker 1: got the structure, concepts of a plan. For the record,
Speaker 1: I do have an actual plan. I just there's only
Speaker 1: so much I could talk. No, I was I was
Speaker 1: doing Trump at that debate. Yeah, yeah, no, No, I know.
Speaker 2: This is a fantastic line. Okay, let's see what we
Speaker 2: have here and you can join us with your dispatches.
Speaker 2: Go over to thenewsjunkie dot com. Somebody's talking about the
Speaker 2: young girl, I say, young girls, college student, and the
Speaker 2: college student is at this fi U, I believe Florida
Speaker 2: International University, correct, And she made some comments that now
Speaker 2: have her facing prison time. She said there's going to
Speaker 2: be a bomb at this event, and it's all this
Speaker 2: person's fault, Josh's fault or something.
Speaker 1: She said. Allegedly there was like a Josh Fowler or
Speaker 1: something that she was blaming for this irona.
Speaker 2: But she said, there's going to be a bomb at
Speaker 2: this event and it's Josh's fault.
Speaker 1: That was one of the things that she said.
Speaker 2: And then she said, Net and Yahoo, if you're listening,
Speaker 2: please drop what she called a bonbond on this university event.
Speaker 2: And she mentioned where the university event was going to be.
Speaker 2: And then there was one more thing like you know,
Speaker 2: missile strike or whatever, or like bomb Net and Yahoo,
Speaker 2: the leader of Israel bomb this event. And I said,
Speaker 2: is she really stepping over the territory where she should
Speaker 2: spend time behind bars? I think she should get in
Speaker 2: trouble for it. I think the school should one hundred
Speaker 2: percent punish her. I think all of these things are right.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to screw around with joking
Speaker 1: about bombing events.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. But should she actually spend time behind bars?
Speaker 2: That's what Rogue Florida man is talking about.
Speaker 10: Hey, Sean, Hey, that is total bowl that they're charging
Speaker 10: this woman with a felony for something she says in
Speaker 10: a chat that's not directly.
Speaker 1: Threatening any person. It was a joke, that's what she
Speaker 1: says ultimately, and she's.
Speaker 10: Say, we'll find probable cause for basically anything. The old
Speaker 10: joke is you can indict a hand sandwich. So I
Speaker 10: think she'll just get some sort of pre trial diversion
Speaker 10: and it'll all go away and she'll be fine.
Speaker 1: But it's just stupid waste of taxpayer money. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you, rogue Florida man.
Speaker 2: We're going to go over to somebody talking about this
Speaker 2: Alex terrible guy and if you miss that to start
Speaker 2: the show, hang on, I should I should play that
Speaker 2: for people who.
Speaker 3: Are Somebody chimed in and said that he is a
Speaker 3: local Florida area.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I don't have anything to back that up,
Speaker 1: but somebody said that he's really starting to get a
Speaker 1: lot of attention because he does this trick with his
Speaker 1: voice like he's a metal singer, I guess, and he
Speaker 1: just seems like an overall chill guy. But his voice
Speaker 1: is just so unbelievably scary. And I don't say that lightly,
Speaker 1: I mean like unbelievable to do it? Would that be rude?
Speaker 1: Would you? Are you wow? So weird? Man? That's the
Speaker 1: guy's mouth. He's making that noise out of his mouth.
Speaker 1: How do you learn that you could do that? I
Speaker 1: think you practice and people cower immediately, their knees start
Speaker 1: shaking when they're looking at you, and you know, hey,
Speaker 1: I just did something a little different, I think. But
Speaker 1: here's Tripled talking about this person. What's off everybody? This
Speaker 1: is Triple D.
Speaker 15: So Alex the Terrible is an amazing singer, and yeah,
Speaker 15: I wouldn't want to fight him either. So he is
Speaker 15: actually doing a concert at I believe it's the Ocean
Speaker 15: Center in Daytona where he's going to do a bare
Speaker 15: knuckle fight, which his last bare knuckle fight he won,
Speaker 15: and then perform right after.
Speaker 1: The fight get out of here? Are you serious? This
Speaker 1: guy's got stamina. This guy is bare knuckle fighting and
Speaker 1: then going Okay, now I'm going to put on a
Speaker 1: performance in my metal band. This guy's a legend, man,
Speaker 1: So figure y'all, I want to know. He's amazing.
Speaker 15: He's a I believe, a crazy Russian and uh yeah,
Speaker 15: he's he's awesome. And he calls it a bear screamer,
Speaker 15: a bear grow so Anyways, y'all.
Speaker 1: Have a good one, all right, thank you. Tripled or
Speaker 1: triple D either way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Russian is a real name, Alexander with no E
Speaker 3: like S A N D R Chico Le And he's
Speaker 3: a deathcore artist and sings for a band called Slaughter
Speaker 3: to Prevail.
Speaker 1: So okay, I've actually heard I think of Slaughter to Prevail.
Speaker 1: That's the group that he's in. Really okay, I mean
Speaker 1: it seems it seems like a nice dude.
Speaker 2: Despite the fact that he's very, very frightening to me,
Speaker 2: he seems like a nice guy.
Speaker 1: So we'll take more of these.
Speaker 2: A lot of dispatches coming in, a lot of emails
Speaker 2: coming in as well. Tips at the news Junkie dot com,
Speaker 2: t I P. S at the Newsjunkie dot Com. Sendos
Speaker 2: our way. This person says, Hey, I'm a doctor who
Speaker 2: listens to the show. You were talking about a prescription
Speaker 2: mistake earlier. He says, if it was a CBS that
Speaker 2: screwed up your prescription, I would stop using them all together.
Speaker 2: It is common for them to make more mistakes than
Speaker 2: other pharmacies, shorting pills.
Speaker 1: That's what happened in Courtney's case. You got like half
Speaker 1: as many pills as you were supposed to get.
Speaker 2: And then she thought, if I go back and tell them,
Speaker 2: they're gon to think I'm trying to get more pills.
Speaker 1: And she's like, what do I do here? But she
Speaker 1: did go back and they counted them, and they said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we made a mistake counting and shouldn't have signed off
Speaker 1: on this. Did they count their supply of pills?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they counted the supply and there was ten more
Speaker 2: than they were supposed to have.
Speaker 1: At least, this is what everybody was saying. He said, honestly,
Speaker 1: even if it wasn't one of them, I would avoid CVS.
Speaker 1: Shots fired CVS.
Speaker 2: At one point, a CVS pharmacist was actually caught on
Speaker 2: hint camera buying counterfeit drugs out of the trunk of
Speaker 2: somebody's car to selling the pharmacy.
Speaker 1: Jeez, is that true? That's crazy? What the hell?
Speaker 3: What's weird about that is I have to use CVS
Speaker 3: because my Yeah, my insurance gets mad at me if
Speaker 3: I go to publics, which I liked. I liked going
Speaker 3: to publics because I'm already going to publics. I would
Speaker 3: like to just pick up my pills there, but no,
Speaker 3: my insurance was like saying, you know what, we are
Speaker 3: a CVS care mark or something provider, and if you
Speaker 3: want to get your prescriptions, especially if you want to
Speaker 3: get a ninety day supply of your prescriptions, We're going
Speaker 3: to only start covering these if you get them from CVS,
Speaker 3: which is highly annoying. Highly annoying, and like, there's a CVS.
Speaker 3: And when I was going through this, there would be
Speaker 3: people in my life that would say, like, like family members,
Speaker 3: you know, you know, in my extended family, they'd be like, well,
Speaker 3: the CVS is just right there.
Speaker 1: What's the problem.
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 3: The problem is I'm going to publics and Publics has
Speaker 3: a pharmacy and it's so much easier to just do
Speaker 3: it there, But no, I have to go to the
Speaker 3: CVS that's Caddy corner or from the publics, and you know,
Speaker 3: waiting to drive through there sometimes that takes a while,
Speaker 3: and then getting out of there is difficult too, Like
Speaker 3: I'd rather just do the more convenient thing, but no,
Speaker 3: my insurance insists.
Speaker 1: That I have to go to CVS. Weird e Fresh
Speaker 1: says CVS is a monopoly.
Speaker 2: It seems kind of anti competitive to to say like
Speaker 2: you can only go to this place.
Speaker 1: So I mean I can.
Speaker 3: Only go to that place, or I can use the
Speaker 3: like mail in prescription stuff. Okay, so I think that
Speaker 3: would be like the out' that's your option, that's not
Speaker 3: anti competitive. I can use their like, uh, their pharmacy
Speaker 3: where they just mail the pills to me.
Speaker 1: That sounds easy to me, that part. I'd like.
Speaker 2: Anthony emails tips to the news Junkie dot com. Hey Sean,
Speaker 2: you guys were talking about robots. We were the robot
Speaker 2: winning the half marathon against the humans and breaking the
Speaker 2: human record the running robot in Beijing, China this weekend.
Speaker 1: Hey Shaan, you guys are talking about robots.
Speaker 2: On a similar topic, Anthropic is withholding its latest model,
Speaker 2: Claude Mythos, because it's quote strikingly capable at discovering deep
Speaker 2: security vulnerabilities and global software. They're worried it could automate
Speaker 2: high level hacking, so they've locked it down for a
Speaker 2: private glass Wing to patch the world's code before the
Speaker 2: public ever sees it.
Speaker 1: They said it was worryingly good at coding.
Speaker 2: If it went public, it could essentially become an autonomous
Speaker 2: hacker in a box for anybody to use. Anthony, very
Speaker 2: interesting point. I'll counter that with this though. While I
Speaker 2: think there's reason to fear what you're saying, I use
Speaker 2: AI coding all the time. I've completely vibe coded tochat
Speaker 2: dot thenewsyunky dot com room. Just pop in there and
Speaker 2: see what it is, and you'll be like, Wow, this
Speaker 2: is absolutely amazing that you could do this kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: It is amazing the technology that has happened in the
Speaker 2: coding world, and I'm sure this is even better. I
Speaker 2: have a fear of these ais already being able to
Speaker 2: discover security flaws in websites, government websites, et et cetera,
Speaker 2: et cetera, leaving our data prone to leaking, leaving our passwords.
Speaker 3: I mean, isn't to leaking? Isn't the thing he's describing there?
Speaker 3: Kind of what happened with those They were the vacuums,
Speaker 3: the robot vacuums that were made by Dji, the drone company.
Speaker 3: And it wasn't in America, but other countries where they
Speaker 3: had dispatched these robot vacuums. Somebody was able to hack
Speaker 3: like all of them, I think, remote control them, possibly
Speaker 3: turn on cameras that were on board the robot. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it was all from using it might have been Claude,
Speaker 3: but it was some AI that they that they were
Speaker 3: using to try and explore the innards of the robot
Speaker 3: vacuum connected vacuum system, and they ended up getting exposed
Speaker 3: to everything just because it was very poorly built as
Speaker 3: far as as far as like the back end software
Speaker 3: and servers.
Speaker 2: Right, Dan says, is he talking about the new Claude
Speaker 2: Mythos model. Yeah, that's that's what he said in the
Speaker 2: animal are in the EMMIL and the email That's what
Speaker 2: he said in the email the tips at the news.
Speaker 1: Junkie dot com.
Speaker 2: But I also think while this is a fear, I
Speaker 2: think AI is also the answer because you can hook
Speaker 2: these same coding engines up to your website and say,
Speaker 2: what are all of the security vulnerability that he's on
Speaker 2: my website, my database and everything right now, and it
Speaker 2: will tell you and then you can patch all of
Speaker 2: them up. And while AI causes the problem, AI is
Speaker 2: also the solution.
Speaker 1: To the problem.
Speaker 2: Right that, Just from my perspective of using this a lot,
Speaker 2: I think that is a scary thing and is a problem,
Speaker 2: but in the long run we'll sort of sort itself
Speaker 2: out with the same thing.
Speaker 3: Eventually you're just going to have the AI playing the AI,
Speaker 3: you know, and then you'll learn that there's no winner
Speaker 3: in global thermonuclear war.
Speaker 1: Right yeah, right, Wait, hold on, that sounds like a
Speaker 1: thing that is a War Games reference, the movie War Games.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a nineteen nineties hacker movie. If I've
Speaker 1: ever heard one, it was a very good movie. All right,
Speaker 1: quick break. When we come back, we'll get to this
Speaker 1: mystery white pickup that is terrifying women, and we'll do
Speaker 1: a grab bag segment. I have so many clips to
Speaker 1: get into. I'm going to move them all to the
Speaker 1: front of the line here and we'll start working through these.
Speaker 1: This will be an interesting segment that's coming up next.
Speaker 1: Something the news, Young Key.
Speaker 2: A lot of our friends over on YouTube, Twitch, everybody
Speaker 2: who watches the show every day. You can always pop
Speaker 2: in and enjoy the show live by watching over on
Speaker 2: one of those platforms. Afterwards, you got the podcast. I
Speaker 2: was telling everybody that in TMJ Chat, which is you know,
Speaker 2: it's a little slow from time to time on the weekends,
Speaker 2: but mostly it's popping off and some great connections and
Speaker 2: people meeting over there.
Speaker 1: You can see a couple of things.
Speaker 2: One is you can hit exclamation point commands, and if
Speaker 2: you do like exclamation Point Stats, you can see how
Speaker 2: many messages there have been in any given day. It'll
Speaker 2: show you like a bar graph of the week and
Speaker 2: the messages.
Speaker 1: Two.
Speaker 2: The one that I love is you can do the
Speaker 2: command for the podcast exclamation Point pods, and if you
Speaker 2: do that in tnjchat at chattannewsjunki dot com, it gives
Speaker 2: you a podcast player that works with CarPlay and everything
Speaker 2: on your dash. It does a perfect screenlock. You can
Speaker 2: have the chat up and you actually earn points in
Speaker 2: chat as you listen to the podcast from that day.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of a cool way to do it.
Speaker 2: If you WIE, I'd.
Speaker 1: Recommend you check that out. I mean, look, there's lots
Speaker 1: of other great podcast players, but they give you also
Speaker 1: are in the chat room. That's a great way to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: Hit exclamation Point podcasts and just like that, you'll be
Speaker 2: in on things.
Speaker 1: They're fighting back and forth. Twitch is self hating at
Speaker 1: the point at this point right here.
Speaker 2: It's a matter of Twitch. It's like Twitch is saying
Speaker 2: Twitch sucks. I don't understand that. You guys are all great.
Speaker 1: I love you. I know there's divisions out there.
Speaker 2: I know there's some discord over on discord because we
Speaker 2: have a fan discord that's like a big chat community,
Speaker 2: some divisions between them and TNJ chat and people probably
Speaker 2: think I think they're like the redheaded step child over
Speaker 2: there and I ignore them or something.
Speaker 1: Now I don't. I love you all, all right, I
Speaker 1: love you all equally. Big One says it would be
Speaker 1: nice if Sean read back the keywords sometimes. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of times you could just get it in chat,
Speaker 1: since you're in there already.
Speaker 2: That's the best way to do it. Get it in chat.
Speaker 2: Because I'm just gonna be real with you, Big One.
Speaker 2: We're on a bunch of different radio stations at a
Speaker 2: bunch of different times, so the keywords change, all right.
Speaker 2: That's the reason why I don't repeat it back on
Speaker 2: the show, because somebody's listening to this in a whole
Speaker 2: different city right now, and they're at a different time,
Speaker 2: and their keywords are totally different.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So a lot of lot of times people don't understand
Speaker 2: everything I'm doing on this show is for a reason.
Speaker 2: I put a lot of thought into all of this stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm a genius. I'm just saying I
Speaker 2: put a lot of thought into the stuff that I do.
Speaker 2: But at going to one of the chat rooms, they
Speaker 2: will help you tell the little genius E show.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm a genius. I'm not saying I'm
Speaker 1: only saying there's reasons for all of the things that
Speaker 1: I do, and it's about the amount of charity you're
Speaker 1: willing to give me, which for some of you is
Speaker 1: is a lot, thank God, and some of you is
Speaker 1: not that much.
Speaker 2: John says, been listening to the News Junkie forever but
Speaker 2: just found this chat. Loving it good, loving having you
Speaker 2: over there, Love to see all these new names pop
Speaker 2: in on on the chat so chat dot thenewsjunkie dot com,
Speaker 2: chat dot thenewsjunkie dot com. Saw this headline and thought,
Speaker 2: that seems like a joke to me, that just seems
Speaker 2: like a flat out joke, like I.
Speaker 1: Thought when I saw that robot explode. Basically, but that
Speaker 1: was real? That was you say?
Speaker 15: It was?
Speaker 1: It was this. Here's the headline. Tell me if you
Speaker 1: think this is true.
Speaker 2: Zealing saw a show through Ticketmaster question mark you may
Speaker 2: get a refund in Washington, d C says the article,
Speaker 2: and I'll give you the twist here on why I
Speaker 2: think this is a bunch of nonsense. I don't know
Speaker 2: how many people each year use Ticketmaster or use Live
Speaker 2: Nation to purchase a ticket, but think about that number
Speaker 2: in your head. District residents. That's people in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2: Who bought a ticket Master ticket with fees, which is
Speaker 2: all of them basically from entertainment giant Live Nation or
Speaker 2: its ticket Master subsidiary in the past decade. Couldsume soon
Speaker 2: submit a claim to get money back. Oh wow, cool,
Speaker 2: we're going to get money back because ticket Master ripped
Speaker 2: us off. We're going to get some money back. Fantastic. Well,
Speaker 2: hold out of your shorts for a second. DC Attorney
Speaker 2: General Brian Schwab said in a news release that Live
Speaker 2: Nation has settled with this city, DC.
Speaker 1: Why only DC? Just DC.
Speaker 2: They settled with the city over allegations that the company
Speaker 2: misled customers about ticket prices, charged deceptive fees, and used
Speaker 2: illegal pressure tactics to get fans to buy tickets. So
Speaker 2: there's a lawsuit. They settled, and they go, you're gonna
Speaker 2: be able to get some money back. All they won
Speaker 2: was nine point nine million dollars after paying themselves back
Speaker 2: a little bit. They have eight point nine million dollars
Speaker 2: now to you or I. If they just say, hey,
Speaker 2: here's eight point nine million dollars, that's nice, ain't it right?
Speaker 1: If you and I split a point nine.
Speaker 2: Mili that sounds fantastic. But if everybody, even in Washington, DC,
Speaker 2: who used Ticketmaster gets a piece of eight point nine
Speaker 2: million dollars, congratulations on. As Dan says in chat, your
Speaker 2: thirty seven cents, you ain't gonna get much from this.
Speaker 1: That's not enough money, not enough.
Speaker 2: The settlement is separate from the anti trust suit brought
Speaker 2: by Washington d C in dozens of other states against
Speaker 2: Live Nation that we heard about recently. But they said
Speaker 2: if you saw a if you saw a show through Ticketmaster,
Speaker 2: you can get a refund in Washington, d C. In
Speaker 2: the Washington Post today, don't count your chickens before they
Speaker 2: hatch or whatever they say.
Speaker 1: What is I said that for they roosts for the hatch.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's the same basic thing. The chickens
Speaker 1: are coming home to roost before you hatch. Oh, we
Speaker 1: are messing up some things here. Fool me once, shame
Speaker 1: on me, fool you twice. You know what it is
Speaker 1: you get it At this point.
Speaker 3: It's about thirteen bucks a person if every resident of DC.
Speaker 3: According to the numbers that I have as of late
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, the population of Washington, d C approximately
Speaker 3: six hundred and seventy one eight hundred and three thirteen
Speaker 3: dollars for every.
Speaker 1: Gradually thirteen dollars. I gotta cut it.
Speaker 2: I mean, take it if you can. It's worth it.
Speaker 2: But it's not enough for everybody else for sure.
Speaker 3: But it's weird that they're making that payment to the
Speaker 3: district and then the district is going to be the
Speaker 3: ones that are distributing it, like the money is not
Speaker 3: coming from Ticketmaster, because the money has already come from
Speaker 3: Ticketmaster in this case.
Speaker 1: I believe so.
Speaker 3: Yes, I would think that in some sort of class
Speaker 3: action lawsuit against Ticketmaster or against Live Nation and Ticketmaster,
Speaker 3: that they would offer like a hey, you could, we'll
Speaker 3: pay you five bucks or you'll get a ten dollars
Speaker 3: gift card a Ticketmaster to keep them from, you know,
Speaker 3: actually sending out more money. Possibly it's sort of like
Speaker 3: what happened with me in the red Bull lawsuit, where
Speaker 3: I just had them send me a four pack of Red.
Speaker 1: Bull because you didn't really care. No, the red Bull's expensive. Anyways.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the grab bag portion of
Speaker 2: the segment. Here, would you or wouldn't you? New technology alert? Everybody,
Speaker 2: new technology is dropping new technology alert.
Speaker 1: Let's listening to this report.
Speaker 11: I will say, I think this is an incredible idea,
Speaker 11: especially I know you worked in local news as well.
Speaker 11: I did, and I would still on the field for
Speaker 11: fifteen twenty hours. The biggest challenge, believe it or not,
Speaker 11: was begging a gas station to let me use their restroom.
Speaker 2: I'll explain it just a second. What's going on here?
Speaker 2: See if you could pick it up from this report.
Speaker 8: The been there.
Speaker 5: I've also been on long road trips with little kids.
Speaker 5: I get, but I don't want to have to clean
Speaker 5: up after.
Speaker 7: And you do have to empty it out.
Speaker 11: It does have a heating feature that drives up waste.
Speaker 1: Woh whoa, Okay, all right, what's happening here is a
Speaker 1: Chinese company has just announced that they are building seats
Speaker 1: with built in toilets for their vehicles. So you buy
Speaker 1: a car, and you know how you can slide your
Speaker 1: chair front and back. Correct, slide your chair front back
Speaker 1: in your car. You slide your chair and it reveals
Speaker 1: a toilet bowl underneath the chair.
Speaker 3: Weirdly enough, this sounds like what we learned about I
Speaker 3: think Thursday or Friday of last week, where they were
Speaker 3: talking about certain private planes having a weird situation for
Speaker 3: onboard toilet. So if you're on some sort of you know,
Speaker 3: corporate jet that's like really fancy but not fancy enough
Speaker 3: to have its own life avatory, they had a situation
Speaker 3: where one of the back seats would flip up and
Speaker 3: there's a toilet. That's kind of what we're looking at
Speaker 3: right now. And in this case that I think the
Speaker 3: guy that chimed in or I think he emailed in,
Speaker 3: said that there was a leal curtain. You just kind
Speaker 3: of draw the little curtain and you can still make
Speaker 3: eyes at people while you're pooping.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they put a bathroom toilet. They put a toilet
Speaker 2: in the car underneath the seat. And the most vile
Speaker 2: part was you heard that woman say it's got a
Speaker 2: heater that will heat up the remnants and allegedly like
Speaker 2: cook them and make them disappear or something. I mean
Speaker 2: that what that cannot smell good? That has to be
Speaker 2: just so bad.
Speaker 1: I think the Carmakers series is what the one behind
Speaker 1: this scris.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there, you're about to read this. The system comes
Speaker 3: with a fan and exhaust pipe to try and get
Speaker 3: rid of the odors.
Speaker 1: Do you think that would work? Though?
Speaker 2: You can have a fan in an exhaust pipe, But
Speaker 2: is it gonna not ink in that car? That would
Speaker 2: sell like hotcakes at Coachella?
Speaker 1: True?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, for some things, you might be so
Speaker 2: desperate that it would work to have an in car toilet,
Speaker 2: But I don't know if I would want that in
Speaker 2: my case.
Speaker 3: It's kind of odd that, like, I guess you might
Speaker 3: market this more to fleet vehicles because the lady were
Speaker 3: talking about being on a report as a news reporter
Speaker 3: and being out in the field for fifteen hours. First
Speaker 3: of all, I have a hard time believing you couldn't get,
Speaker 3: you know, into a gas station and have to beg
Speaker 3: them to use the toilet, right, Like, it's pretty easy
Speaker 3: to use a gas station toilet in most cases. But still,
Speaker 3: I think that maybe this should be the direction we're
Speaker 3: going in rather than just the idea of having somebody's
Speaker 3: everyday driver have a toilet for bathroom emergencies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. It sounds like a gamer
Speaker 1: car it's gonna be gross, right, Like, the people who
Speaker 1: use this aren't going to be the people who would
Speaker 1: totally keep it clean. I have we fixed everything for cars, guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is what we're down to.
Speaker 2: Another thing out there making some waves brand new video
Speaker 2: game coming out from Capcom that people are starting to
Speaker 2: play called Pragmata. The interesting thing about this they say
Speaker 2: it's going to make a lot of people want to
Speaker 2: have a kid. They say it's going to make a
Speaker 2: lot of people want to have a little child in it.
Speaker 2: Apparently your character is responsible for the safety of this
Speaker 2: adorable little girl, and you go through this world having
Speaker 2: to keep her safe, and she's like your little partner
Speaker 2: in crime, this little girl with pigtails.
Speaker 1: She gets excited when you get like a new gun
Speaker 1: and a weapon and you wander around and have to
Speaker 1: protect her. And everybody's talking about how adorable this little
Speaker 1: girl is. And it's exploding out there. It's been very,
Speaker 1: very popular.
Speaker 3: It's not a game about child raising. It's just a
Speaker 3: game where you have to protect a girl.
Speaker 1: I think I don't know the actual Like, okay, I
Speaker 1: never played Last of Us, but wasn't that also part
Speaker 1: of Like, Yeah.
Speaker 2: It says Capcom's new sci fi action adventure with a
Speaker 2: hacking twist, and you like, this little girl is a
Speaker 2: part of it. You're the character wandering through the world Pragmata,
Speaker 2: but the little girl is like you're bringing her along
Speaker 2: with you. Hugh and Diana's lunar journey has begun in Pragmata,
Speaker 2: capcom COM's new sci fi adventure game with a hacking
Speaker 2: twist and an emotional story. And you got to like
Speaker 2: protect this little girl that you bring along with her.
Speaker 2: And she's so adorable in this, in this little video game.
Speaker 2: So it says sold one million units in two games
Speaker 2: and two days, two.
Speaker 1: Days, sold a million units in two days. That is
Speaker 1: you know what I was that all new IP. This
Speaker 1: is a brand new IP.
Speaker 2: Pragmata surpasses one min million units sold in two days.
Speaker 2: Highly innovative and original gameplay earns strong reception from players.
Speaker 1: Around the globe. So maybe you've played this before. Let
Speaker 1: us know if you have.
Speaker 3: Did they did they split the million units evenly between
Speaker 3: the two gays or did one of the gays have.
Speaker 1: More take on more units? I've had enough. The power
Speaker 1: hour is a wrap. All right, We're done.
Speaker 2: We will do when we come back final dispatches stories
Speaker 2: that didn't make the cut.
Speaker 1: Just think you four more gays of this after after
Speaker 1: we're done today. And today I learned to wrap everything
Speaker 1: up for a Monday. God do I have all those
Speaker 1: things that's coming up next in the news Junkie. The
Speaker 1: great mystery of the last couple of days Sea Lane here.
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I had the developer reach
Speaker 1: out and he goes, what's going on over there? And
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: And he goes, you've had like crazy levels of traffic
Speaker 2: in the past week or so.
Speaker 1: And I go, yeah, there's some stuff. And he said,
Speaker 1: for some reason, there's like ten thousand people a day
Speaker 1: from Singapore going to the news junkie dot com. Uh
Speaker 1: what And.
Speaker 2: I said what and he goes, yeah, yeah, that's Singapore specifically,
Speaker 2: there's like ten thousand people a day.
Speaker 3: What's up from a Singaporean Singpore if we don't know
Speaker 3: why you're here?
Speaker 2: But I don't know if something happened in the news
Speaker 2: in Singapore and there's like a Singaporean news junkie or
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was, but something happened.
Speaker 1: A big Doug Millionaire says, that's my VPN could be
Speaker 1: just hitting us heavy.
Speaker 2: No, Like I could see the entire country of Singapore.
Speaker 2: I could see all the dots where all of the
Speaker 2: people are. It's not bots, it's not not three hackers.
Speaker 2: We don't use bots around here. Okay, my god? Is
Speaker 2: that more commonplace and in more places than you'd you'd
Speaker 2: like to admit. Probably, I'm an unbelievable the amount of
Speaker 2: people using bots these days on their streams. When you
Speaker 2: go onto Twitch on any given day and you look
Speaker 2: at the top streams over there, almost everyone is certain
Speaker 2: to be body.
Speaker 1: I do not bought the stream. I think we will
Speaker 1: just live and die by whatever the number is that
Speaker 1: we get over here, and that's just the way it goes.
Speaker 1: Is that expensive? Body like that?
Speaker 2: It actually is if you have good bots. It is
Speaker 2: expensive because they keep catching these people doing it. When
Speaker 2: they are doing it, I look on the website that
Speaker 2: they screenshot and I go, God, they're panks so much.
Speaker 2: I almost feel like you could get real human beings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure for this?
Speaker 2: What the hell is going on? If we don't hear
Speaker 2: from Sean, we know what happened? Yeah, rip me the
Speaker 2: Singaporeans get me. I don't know, very weird though. I
Speaker 2: thought that was super super odd.
Speaker 1: So hello Singapore, if you're out there, we don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on, but we're glad to have you buy
Speaker 1: and we'll leave another understand. I don't know how. I
Speaker 1: don't even know how they sound. I was going to
Speaker 1: do a Singaporean as you don't have a Singaporean accent.
Speaker 1: How do you know? You don't know I have going on?
Speaker 2: Tai said, the spike in Singapore visitors maybe do to
Speaker 2: increase interest in technology at AI advancement.
Speaker 1: What would that have to do with anything?
Speaker 2: It must be about something that has to do with
Speaker 2: their version of the news junkie like, it must be
Speaker 2: people over there.
Speaker 1: Going what is this?
Speaker 3: It says they have four official languages, English, Malay, Mandarin,
Speaker 3: and Tamil or Tamil Tamil. Primary language is English for
Speaker 3: businesses and education. A unique English based creole is widely
Speaker 3: used in informal conversation.
Speaker 1: And they call it Singlish.
Speaker 3: Really, so maybe they're here, You're kind of like Spanglish,
Speaker 3: but it's Singlish.
Speaker 1: Hello.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're watching this dubbed over you know, the technology
Speaker 2: is getting kind of wild a mystery. I'm gonna bring
Speaker 2: this up as a white pickup truck has been terrifying
Speaker 2: women in Montana. Montana says hunt for mysterious white pickup
Speaker 2: truck that is terrifying women on Montane Hannah's empty highways.
Speaker 2: This says, a mysterious white pickup truck. Why are the
Speaker 2: highways empty? Because it's Montana. Lizette Lamb forty eight said
Speaker 2: she was driving from round Up to Glasgow along Highway
Speaker 2: one ninety one when she pulled over. She said there
Speaker 2: was a white pickup truck following her. It gave her
Speaker 2: the he be gebies. She said, my wife worked in
Speaker 2: a prison and stuff like that, so she's used to
Speaker 2: kind of going with her gut. Shortly after Lizette got
Speaker 2: back on the road, she noticed the same pickup truck
Speaker 2: behind her.
Speaker 1: Apparently there's stories all over.
Speaker 2: Here's a local story Montana woman Warren's drivers after being
Speaker 2: followed nearly run off the road on Highway one ninety one.
Speaker 2: Is this white truck that's following people, scaring them and
Speaker 2: running them off the road?
Speaker 1: Actually, I'll keep this up.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll get a little further into this tomorrow on
Speaker 2: the show and see if we can unpacked what that
Speaker 2: mystery is all about.
Speaker 1: So that's what we'll do, and right now we'll do
Speaker 1: something totally different.

Speaker 2: It is Taylor for a Monday, April twentieth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: Today I learned this movie Top Gun.
Speaker 2: Top Gun is ride Val Kilmer was not initially interested
Speaker 2: in auditioning for Top Gun in nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 1: He only did so at the best of his agent.
Speaker 2: He read his audition lines indifferently, like he didn't even
Speaker 2: care about getting.
Speaker 1: The role, and they go, it was so good, we
Speaker 1: are hitting.
Speaker 2: He was disappointed when he got the role. He was like,
Speaker 2: I want to do this stupid top Gun movie. Obviously
Speaker 2: it turned out to be an absolutely massive success, and
Speaker 2: then he got to be Batman. He said in his
Speaker 2: memoir I'm Your Huckleberry. He said, I didn't want the part.
Speaker 2: I didn't care about the film, the story didn't interest me.
Speaker 2: My agent basically tortured me and made me go in
Speaker 2: and interview for one of the hottest directors in town
Speaker 2: at the time. And finally, on a four to twenty today,
Speaker 2: I learned this guy.
Speaker 1: Right here, this stilly Bob Dylan. That's right, Bob Dylan.
Speaker 1: And a different note, Bob Marley, You idiot. I thought
Speaker 1: you said the song was by Bob Marral. This I
Speaker 1: did to Bob Marley Today I learned Bob Marley could
Speaker 1: have halted the spread of his cancer, but he refused
Speaker 1: to have his toe amputated for religious reasons, leading to
Speaker 1: his death on the eleventh of May and nineteen eighty one,
Speaker 1: just a handful of weeks before I was born. And
