Speaker 1: this great, big, wide world of ours. And we have
Speaker 1: two options everybody. This is for U see Lade and
Speaker 1: you folks in the chat to decide. We have two
Speaker 1: famous kissers that we could possibly do Famous kissers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: two famous kissers that we could possibly open up with today.
Speaker 3: I can't even wait. Members of the band kiss. I
Speaker 3: am not saying anymore.
Speaker 1: The only, the only.
Speaker 3: There's no a lot of famous kisses I can think
Speaker 3: of in my lifetime. There's the Britney Spears Madonna one,
Speaker 3: okay that everybody freaked out about it? Would I have
Speaker 3: a feeling it's neither of those people. Well, there's there
Speaker 3: is two famous kissers. One is the man and one
Speaker 3: is the woman.
Speaker 1: All right, who do we choose to start off the
Speaker 1: show today? Do we choose the man or the woman
Speaker 1: in the famous kissers category for our starts? I'll vote
Speaker 1: ladies first, all right, Sea, Lan's gonna go with the lady.
Speaker 1: We'll see what you guys say over on the the
Speaker 1: chat side of thing, here momentarily great. That was a
Speaker 1: classic kiss. Also.
Speaker 3: Also, it is always hilarious to me when people try
Speaker 3: to spell Luba's name because nobody's even close, but.
Speaker 1: They come up with over there l u b a
Speaker 1: y No, that's not no, No, that's not it.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: I think it's a there is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's what I that's what throws people off,
Speaker 3: you know, jealous.
Speaker 1: Let's start off with the female side of this. The
Speaker 1: woman who went viral for being on the Coldplay kiss
Speaker 1: cam is back in a clip that's going viral today,
Speaker 1: and I got to tell you, I have some problems
Speaker 1: with this and we'll we'll address I guess the woman
Speaker 1: who was on the Coldplay kiss cam where Chris Martin
Speaker 1: from Coldplay was like, oh, look at this couple over here,
Speaker 1: and then they were like make it out and hanging
Speaker 1: out with each other and they ducked down.
Speaker 3: They call it the JumboTron song, and it's like something
Speaker 3: that they do at concerts where they they find people
Speaker 3: in the audience to highlight and then I think Chris
Speaker 3: Martin sings a little bit about them or something.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, the Coldplay lady who was fired from her
Speaker 1: job and was it a huge scandal. Afterwards, gave a
Speaker 1: speech and the press was there, and here's what happened.
Speaker 1: That was a great speech. Thank you. Chris Morren ever
Speaker 1: reached out to know, never did.
Speaker 5: Would you appreciate if you did, it'd be great?
Speaker 6: Would you just still go to a concert?
Speaker 1: No? So she said. The guy goes, has Chris Martin
Speaker 1: ever reached out to you about what happened? And she goes, no, no,
Speaker 1: And then they go, well, would you like him too?
Speaker 1: And she goes, yeah, yeah. And I'm thinking, what are
Speaker 1: your expectations here on planet Earth with the rest of
Speaker 1: us that you thought that Chris Martin from Coldplay might
Speaker 1: check in on you after you were caught cheating in
Speaker 1: a cheating scandal. Let's remember on the big screen at
Speaker 1: a concert, the most public possible event you could be at.
Speaker 1: I mean, the idea, the idea that you go from
Speaker 1: that to like, hey, why didn't you check in on
Speaker 1: me Chris Martin.
Speaker 3: This is TMZ trying to create a plotline here, because
Speaker 3: I'm sure you know now one of them is going
Speaker 3: to see Chris Martin at LAX and be like, hey,
Speaker 3: how come you never checked in on the girl from
Speaker 3: the kiss cam? She says she doesn't want to go
Speaker 3: to Colplay concerts anymore?
Speaker 1: Right, he cares? Does he care? Okay, like a zero
Speaker 1: percent chance that he would ever pick up the phone
Speaker 1: and talk to her. Cheryl on YouTube says, like he
Speaker 1: should apologize that you got caught exactly exactly what a
Speaker 1: weird expectation from anybody out there who would be like, well,
Speaker 1: the guy from Coldplay should call this poor woman who
Speaker 1: was involved in all of this and her life was
Speaker 1: ruined by exactly to everybody saying it wasn't their fault. Yes,
Speaker 1: of course, there you go. The other person who is
Speaker 1: I would say a famous kisser, though, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know how much people would associate this with famous
Speaker 1: kisser is mister spider Man himself. Tom Holland was The
Speaker 1: other option, is a shamous kisser, it's spider Man. Spider
Speaker 1: Man famous kisser. They don't every Spider Man, each one
Speaker 1: of them, doesn't matter who they are. They get one
Speaker 1: saucy kissing scene in the Spider Man.
Speaker 3: I guess I haven't watched all the Spider Man movies.
Speaker 3: Irather Toby Maguire upside down in the Rain kiss that
Speaker 3: was the most famous of them all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then for Tom Holland, it was the kiss
Speaker 1: with Zendaiah at one point in time, and I don't
Speaker 1: know if it was raining for them. It's raining a
Speaker 1: lot of times. Yeah, there's a lot of times when
Speaker 1: it is raining in these Spider Man movies when they
Speaker 1: get to the kiss scene. But there's this one.
Speaker 3: There's something about the making out in the rain that
Speaker 3: seems like a romantic and sexy at a certain age,
Speaker 3: and then you get to you get older, and you go, nope,
Speaker 3: let's go inside. Now, let's go inside. Yeah one, am
Speaker 3: I twelve? What do you want to do?
Speaker 1: This? Over to Tom Holland for the other option, you
Speaker 1: always know I'm going to play it. Here he is,
Speaker 1: and I wonder how this is affecting publics today. Let's
Speaker 1: listen in here's television movie star. I guess maybe just
Speaker 1: movie star Tom.
Speaker 4: Holland publics for the first time, and I'm going to
Speaker 4: try this pub sub Bero is now available in a
Speaker 4: variety that public so I'm going to see.
Speaker 1: Which while I'm Holland, I guess he has a beer
Speaker 1: line and it's being launched a public So Tom Holland
Speaker 1: went to publics for a pub.
Speaker 3: Sub and he's going to see which beer pairs with
Speaker 3: his pub sub whilst in the driver's seat of a car.
Speaker 1: He's not from America. Okay, I'm driving is illegal everywhere.
Speaker 1: He doesn't necessarily understand all of our laws, I guess,
Speaker 1: but yeah, he is in the driver's seat of an
Speaker 1: suv as he's trying to pair a pub sub from
Speaker 1: publics Tom Holland with his beer that I had not
Speaker 1: heard of until this, So at least that was small
Speaker 1: rocket pub sub bite going down solid bite now like
Speaker 1: the McDonald president. God, I don't know. I'm with the pills,
Speaker 1: the pills like traditional continental buddy. I can't understand you
Speaker 1: just generically when you have a mouthful of pub sub.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what you're saying. Tom hommes like
Speaker 1: you already got that British accent that I forget about
Speaker 1: until I hear you talk and there goes the rest
Speaker 1: of it when you take a bite of it.
Speaker 3: Does he act with an American accent? Is he one
Speaker 3: of those British actors that like Spider Man? He does, right,
Speaker 3: I don't know, I've not I've not seen Tom Holland
Speaker 3: Spider Man.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you get with it. I gen to
Speaker 1: half of it. Well, if if you haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: he does do the regular like American accent. I believe.
Speaker 1: JDB on Twitch says, it's not the driver's seat. He's
Speaker 1: in a British vehicle. The driver's seat is on the right.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's one of those famous famous British vehicles
Speaker 1: that are publis. He's in a publics, Dude, he's in
Speaker 1: the driver's side of the vehicle. Okay, is there a
Speaker 1: British publics that I'm not aware of?
Speaker 3: I am, I am not aware of. Now here's the thing,
Speaker 3: and people are saying to me that it's a non
Speaker 3: alcoholic beer.
Speaker 1: Is it? It is?
Speaker 3: However, it does say on the can contains less than
Speaker 3: zero point five percent alcohol by volume, which I still
Speaker 3: would argue I think could get you at least an
Speaker 3: open container violation.
Speaker 1: Really, oh it probably could, Yeah, because there is some
Speaker 1: alcohol in there. Yeah, I've never heard of this, but
Speaker 1: maybe that'll pop up for his drink, A little bit
Speaker 1: non alcoholic beer called beer. Oh oh that bia like zero.
Speaker 1: Tom Holland has.
Speaker 3: Taken that long to name the na beer that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know that that was a thing, but congratulations.
Speaker 1: He enjoyed the pub sub For those who outside of
Speaker 1: this area here, but that means the southeastern United States
Speaker 1: of America. We'll have you know that our big famous
Speaker 1: grocery store chain is Publics, and they are famous for
Speaker 1: nothing more than their pub subs public Subs, and then
Speaker 1: of course beyond that, they're all still famous for their
Speaker 1: chicken tender pub subs, a website for it and everything.
Speaker 1: But there you go.
Speaker 3: To start us off here, another thing Publics is going
Speaker 3: to come up again in the show today during this
Speaker 3: week in Florida, because there's another thing that they got
Speaker 3: a little famous for. That's I think some people find
Speaker 3: it slightly controversial. I don't not, but we'll dive into
Speaker 3: it's the Hurricane kick.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh yeah, yeah, see I don't yeah, I'll wait
Speaker 1: till we get to that. But I don't find that
Speaker 1: that controversial myself. I know we have so many delivery
Speaker 1: drivers who listen to the show, and Number one, thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you take the time to listen to
Speaker 1: the show every day. If we can get you through
Speaker 1: your day, that makes my day worthwhile. But I have
Speaker 1: a question for you, based on a video that's going
Speaker 1: viral today with well over two million views and this
Speaker 1: young woman in the back of her Amazon truck. So,
Speaker 1: Amazon delivery drivers, you can stay anonymous if you want.
Speaker 1: You can use the tips email tips at the neewsjunky
Speaker 1: dot com, or you could just send a dispatch that
Speaker 1: we can hear you or even see you maybe and
Speaker 1: tell me if this is your experience too, what we
Speaker 1: think about this lady here she is in the back
Speaker 1: of her Amazon delivery truck. Are you crazy? All right?
Speaker 1: Up a crazy? She's showing us the screen of I
Speaker 1: guess the device that they have as Amazon employees. This
Speaker 1: is the thing that they scan the photos on where
Speaker 1: they prove that they've done the delivery. Oh, I've never
Speaker 1: seen this.
Speaker 3: I wonder if we're allowed to see this, Like, I
Speaker 3: wonder if that's something Amazon wants to keep, you know,
Speaker 3: on the line.
Speaker 1: I ever see it outther She's showing us her side
Speaker 1: of it, like what the Amazon drivers see, and it
Speaker 1: says work remaining three hundred stops. So she's saying like
Speaker 1: she has to do three hundred stops for the day
Speaker 1: as an Amazon driver. It says eighty nine multilocation stops.
Speaker 1: I'm only going to take away the obvious from that,
Speaker 1: I'm going to think that there's eighty nine locations where
Speaker 1: they go and they knock out multiple things at one time,
Speaker 1: like on a street or something.
Speaker 3: I would think that maybe you say, you one of
Speaker 3: your stops is here at iHeart.
Speaker 1: Hq uh huh.
Speaker 3: But we're on uh, we're on one floor and there's
Speaker 3: there's there's four floors here. There's a bunch of other businesses.
Speaker 3: A multilocation stop might mean like, hey, we got to
Speaker 3: deliver stuff up to the fourth floor to iHeart. We
Speaker 3: got to deliver a package to whoever's downstairs.
Speaker 1: So all those stops, because if all those are stops,
Speaker 1: then that's that's a little bit less because it says
Speaker 1: three hundred stops, eighty nine multilocation stops, four hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty one locations. Okay, so it actually goes the other way,
Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty one locations and five hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty four packages. That's what she's showing that this woman,
Speaker 1: this Amazon driver has to do for the day. She
Speaker 1: shows all of them on the map and then shows
Speaker 1: the truck full of all of the deliveries. Is like, basically,
Speaker 1: you know, this is what I have to do for
Speaker 1: the day. I've got to get all of these done
Speaker 1: and it's too much. Amazon is overworking us. So Amazon
Speaker 1: Drivers tell us, is this is this normal? Is she exaggerating?
Speaker 1: Does it seem crazier than it is? What else can
Speaker 1: you tell us about this? Appa yours? I want to
Speaker 1: know everything we can know from your perspective, because a
Speaker 1: lot of people are talking about that video today and
Speaker 1: you'll probably see it out there. Let us know, Amazon Drivers,
Speaker 1: tips at the news junki dot com, tips at the
Speaker 1: news Junkie dot com, or sending a dispatch over on
Speaker 1: thenewsjunkie dot com. All right, a ton of stuff to
Speaker 1: get into on a very busy Friday. On the show,
Speaker 1: we got some information coming in from the moti Wit
Speaker 1: camp about how they're going to help you out today.
Speaker 1: All right, a little surprise for you coming up in
Speaker 1: a little bit will work that in. Also, an AI
Speaker 1: scam that is so far over the line. I think
Speaker 1: we have to talk about this so we prevent these
Speaker 1: people from taking your money. I think we have to
Speaker 1: talk about this, and for that reason, it's coming up
Speaker 1: next done the News Chunky. A lot of drama on
Speaker 1: social media this week. You know, it's nothing new there's
Speaker 1: always this kind of stuff. A lot of people talk
Speaker 1: about whatever it is it's going on in their worlds
Speaker 1: on social media. A lot of people talk about the
Speaker 1: show on social media. There's a million months this week,
Speaker 1: but yeah, usually right and on a week like this,
Speaker 1: my favorite thing is the levels of fan fiction that
Speaker 1: people will ratch it up to. It's always like, the
Speaker 1: only thing I do read from time to time is
Speaker 1: I'll kick up something that's like a big paragraph of
Speaker 1: a post about the show, because somebody will always be like, look,
Speaker 1: here's the real dirt. I know what's going on with
Speaker 1: the news junkie, and they'll they'll give you like a
Speaker 1: whole paragraph and you'll go, what a dumb this person
Speaker 1: knows nothing about nothing they have. But it's kind of
Speaker 1: fun to read sometimes, and you know, I'll get roped in,
Speaker 1: like very interesting. Some of you are very creative. Like
Speaker 1: some people will be like, actually, see Lane is the
Speaker 1: one who is responsible for iheartcuts and whatever it is
Speaker 1: will be so it's so outrageous and outlandish, and it's
Speaker 1: kind of fun because you don't realize just how bad
Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff is until you're involved in
Speaker 1: whatever people are talking about. That's That's what I told
Speaker 1: you guys before. You don't realize how dumb the media
Speaker 1: is until somebody does a news story about something that
Speaker 1: you actually know a lot about. So like, let's say
Speaker 1: you're like a high lie expert. You're that guy, You're
Speaker 1: the one, You're the high lie expert. Then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the media writes an article about highlight the sport,
Speaker 1: and you go, wow, they are dumb. These people have
Speaker 1: no idea what's going on.
Speaker 3: Well, a little bit that's been going on with this
Speaker 3: Hookers and Hopetown kind of thing, because I think people
Speaker 3: are that aren't familiar with the area are just taking
Speaker 3: some of the story at face value, and it has
Speaker 3: me very confused. When you say they're going from Hopetown
Speaker 3: to Elbow Key, it's like Hopetown is part of elbow Key,
Speaker 3: Like it's on it's the same island, it's the same land.
Speaker 1: Maths. That's a great example, Sela, because the people who
Speaker 1: wrote that had no idea, they had no clue, like
Speaker 1: they needed to be at least in my because of
Speaker 1: my experience with the area, a little more exact about
Speaker 1: where this boat was going from.
Speaker 3: And two like, okay, it's a boat going to another boat.
Speaker 3: That seems a little more accurate. But when you it's
Speaker 3: like saying you're taking a boat from Sandford to Orlando.
Speaker 3: It's like saying, you know, it just seems like you don't.
Speaker 1: Need it, right. But people don't know unless they're involved
Speaker 1: in these things very directly, I would think. And Ryan
Speaker 1: gets it right over on YouTube. He says, loud, dumb,
Speaker 1: and wrong, Oh my, oh yeah. It's just an endless
Speaker 1: sea of stuff like that in the world every day,
Speaker 1: and in social media it's it's no different. I was
Speaker 1: talking about there was there was somebody on Facebook somewhere
Speaker 1: and it was a big, long, like effort post from
Speaker 1: this person and they were like, f you, Sean, f you.
Speaker 1: You took Dano's job, and now the station is gone
Speaker 1: in West Palm and they dumped your ass. And I'm
Speaker 1: and I go, well, sometimes we don't hear about this,
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty are you sure we haven't been dumped
Speaker 1: by that station yet? I looked at I checked, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, we're still on. You know, you might
Speaker 1: be right down the road, cowboy, but for now you're dumb,
Speaker 1: law or wrong and loud, all right, for now you're
Speaker 1: in that category. I just love when people post with
Speaker 1: that Today's country that's no, you're a liar. You never know. No,
Speaker 1: it's a great station in West pomp which we love them,
Speaker 1: we appreciate him. And they called on the demise of
Speaker 1: it a little too fast. I just on a day
Speaker 1: when there is uncertainty, AM always going to do this
Speaker 1: just so you know, like, if I think there's a
Speaker 1: chance one of our affiliates is going to flip, we
Speaker 1: got to be the final word, just so you guys know.
Speaker 1: On a Dallas station that we were on. We were
Speaker 1: on a station in Dallas called The Freak, and it
Speaker 1: was a great station, really like a really cool thing
Speaker 1: that they were doing in a major market. It was
Speaker 1: a fun try.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they were They had all the
Speaker 3: right ideas, They had a very fun like, they had
Speaker 3: a great fan base. Those people, those people with the
Speaker 3: Freak were fun as hell.
Speaker 1: And then the.
Speaker 3: Company went, we're not even gonna give it a year
Speaker 3: and we're gonna flip it back to the Eagle, and
Speaker 3: here we are.
Speaker 1: So we were the last show that was being broadcast
Speaker 1: on the last day of ninety seven won the Freak.
Speaker 1: And I had heard that the Shoe was gonna drop
Speaker 1: rip your freaking traffic. So I just start burning it
Speaker 1: all down, and I'm like, hey, it's the last day,
Speaker 1: subscribe to the podcast to forget this day, you know,
Speaker 1: just burn it all down on the last day. So
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I was aiming for, just in
Speaker 1: case all hell broke loose in West Palm. But loud, dumb,
Speaker 1: wrong guy, I think you got it wrong on this one.
Speaker 1: At least for now, you might be able to come
Speaker 1: back and circle around with the celebration. But it's a
Speaker 1: great station that lives on for the moment. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is pretty funny to me because everybody in the world
Speaker 1: could have seen this coming. But I love it. Let's
Speaker 1: go back to this scandal that's been playing out for
Speaker 1: a little while for the Washington Redskins. If you haven't
Speaker 1: been following the Washington they're the commanders now, well, hang on,
Speaker 1: we're going on a journey here, Silan. The Washington Redskins
Speaker 1: were wrapped up in all of that stuff in the
Speaker 1: twenty twenties and where things were getting their names changed,
Speaker 1: and we were going after like Aunt Jemima and you know,
Speaker 1: all of the stuff. Pancake companies were having to change logos,
Speaker 1: you get it. All that was happening, and the Washington
Speaker 1: Redskins were taking a lot of heat for that, and
Speaker 1: so they buckled and they go, we're going to change
Speaker 1: our name. And then the most hilarious thing that was
Speaker 1: straight out of a Saturday Night Live skit. They changed
Speaker 1: their name to the Washington Football Team.
Speaker 3: Which, by the way, I think if you were smart,
Speaker 3: especially if you lived in the area collecting that merch
Speaker 3: would have been it would have been a good move,
Speaker 3: because years from now, we're going to look back on
Speaker 3: and be like, remember that time that they called it
Speaker 3: just the Washington Football teams.
Speaker 1: Stupid name. Yeah, I love I love that they did that.
Speaker 1: And then they said, well, this is just a placeholder name,
Speaker 1: and now we're going to our real name. We're going
Speaker 1: to be the Washington Commanders. And so they became the
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders and they put all of their information out there,
Speaker 1: and people were like, it's not as good. You should
Speaker 1: have just stayed with the Washington Redskins whatever. You know,
Speaker 1: people were split on this, some people liked it, I'm sure,
Speaker 1: but now they're in trouble again. This story from USA
Speaker 1: Today says a new Washington Commander's logo featuring a spear,
Speaker 1: has drawn criticism from Native American organizations and prominent people
Speaker 1: in Native American communities. The team posted images of a
Speaker 1: new alternate logo on social media accounts. They show a
Speaker 1: spear intertwined with the team's W on a helmet. The
Speaker 1: W is their primary logo. The Washington Commander's decision to
Speaker 1: update their logo is disappointing and inappropriate, to say the least.
Speaker 1: This group, said the Association on American Indian Affairs. I
Speaker 1: don't know who they are, what's going on, but that's
Speaker 1: what the group has called it. That was complaining. It's
Speaker 1: time to stop repeating this cycle and listen to Native
Speaker 1: peoples who have been clear, consistent, and unwavering on this issue.
Speaker 1: We are not your mascot. For the record, that's not
Speaker 1: true at all. It's not clear, consistent, and unwavering. This
Speaker 1: is one group and what they think. As far as
Speaker 1: I know, the Seminole tribe is kind of thrilled with
Speaker 1: fsu uh huh, and the Seminole Tribe have done real
Speaker 1: well as a result. I don't know who the hell
Speaker 1: these people are, but some of the groups of you know,
Speaker 1: Native Americans are on board with this, and they don't
Speaker 1: really mind this tough, but I guess they they launched
Speaker 1: out this new logo and it's got the helmet and
Speaker 1: it's got a spear, and even just the spear. They
Speaker 1: were like, no, well only say if I ever bring
Speaker 1: it up for this streamers, Washington Commanders.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that they're even getting near anything Native American related.
Speaker 1: You know, just really though, look at this, is that
Speaker 1: like does that even strike you as just an arrow?
Speaker 1: That's what I think.
Speaker 3: But I don't look at logos and try to find
Speaker 3: everything wrong with them.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's because all they want is something that's not just
Speaker 1: a letter on this side of their helmet. They're like,
Speaker 1: please help us out.
Speaker 3: We were the Washington football team for a handful of years.
Speaker 3: I would I would be remiss in attacking this story
Speaker 3: without also pointing out a faux pas that they made.
Speaker 3: Let's see what year was this, twenty twenty two. This
Speaker 3: actually the tweet came out on my birthday, which I
Speaker 3: think was an NFL football Sunday. Because outside of the
Speaker 3: Washington Commander's game, they had an official team truck selling
Speaker 3: official team merchandise, and one of the things was a
Speaker 3: coffee mug that had the Washington w that you see
Speaker 3: there no spear, and it was inside the outline of
Speaker 3: the state of Washington, which was a big mess up
Speaker 3: because as you know, the Washington Commanders are not in
Speaker 3: the state of Washington. They're in Washington, DC. Who's running
Speaker 3: things over there? Get it together. Another piece of merchandise
Speaker 3: that I think would have been highly collectible, because as
Speaker 3: soon as somebody called them out on their stuff, they
Speaker 3: quickly swiftly removed these from the shelves and never sold
Speaker 3: them again.
Speaker 1: Black Mark on YouTube says, if I lose my chiefs
Speaker 1: name and arrowhead, I'm gonna flip TF out. I think
Speaker 1: you're good for now. I mean, look again, I think
Speaker 1: this is probably one fairly fringe group for my guessing,
Speaker 1: and most people don't really care because this says new
Speaker 1: alternate logo, it's not even the main logo for the
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders. It says spear and w interweave at their centers,
Speaker 1: a powerful joining of past and present, and it says
Speaker 1: the spearhead symbolizes those leading the fight. The design that
Speaker 1: captures the forward focused spirit of a spirit of the commander,
Speaker 1: a leader of warriors and then they show the new
Speaker 1: design for the commanders on the helmet. I just think
Speaker 1: it's a message where you just got a here's what
Speaker 1: you need to do, no matter what you're doing in
Speaker 1: the world, no matter what you have going on, if
Speaker 1: you're creating stuff and putting things out there, just sit
Speaker 1: there and take a moment and go what's the right
Speaker 1: thing to do and what's the wrong thing to do.
Speaker 1: Once you decide what is the morally right thing to
Speaker 1: do and the decent thing to do, do that thing
Speaker 1: and don't look back. Don't worry about everybody chirping about everything,
Speaker 1: because trust me, once they start chirping at you, if
Speaker 1: you apologize, they're just going to keep chirping over and
Speaker 1: over and over and over again until you do whatever
Speaker 1: next thing they want you to do right. Like it's
Speaker 1: it's all insane and so to me, I don't have
Speaker 1: an issue. If you do, you can let us know.
Speaker 1: But and some people think this is going to be
Speaker 1: another round of teams and stuff having to change the names.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I thinks mostly people and I
Speaker 1: could see in some of the chat comments people are
Speaker 1: over these kind of things, and now it's just the
Speaker 1: folks left who are like, I can still complain about
Speaker 1: this and get a headline or two. So is there
Speaker 1: a response? Sure, but it's from like five people, and
Speaker 1: you know it's not a representative thing for everybody who's
Speaker 1: Native American to begin with. Give us your thoughts though,
Speaker 1: Go over to the website, which is thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Right now, all right, we are going to get into
Speaker 1: the story I teased before the break really quickly. Here
Speaker 1: did we hit that segment? I just did? Okay, good,
Speaker 1: I forgot. I forget. Sometimes you just did it. Just
Speaker 1: nothing just happened. You know, memory works on a show
Speaker 1: like this very poorly. The moment the words escape my mouth,
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, what do we just do the last
Speaker 1: segment about? But this is what I teased before the break,
Speaker 1: So I do want to pay this off real quick.
Speaker 1: And this is about an AI scam that's making the rounds.
Speaker 1: I think this is so messed up, and I want
Speaker 1: to prevent anybody from being scam by this. And you
Speaker 1: said it's on next door, right, it's on next door,
Speaker 1: but it's on social media outlet's. But next door seems
Speaker 1: to be a big target because it's for people who
Speaker 1: have lost their dogs. And I might be wrong on this,
Speaker 1: but you guys can probably back me up. I feel
Speaker 1: like a lot of people tend to go to next
Speaker 1: door when they lose their pat next door and the
Speaker 1: ring neighbors app seems to be kind of like.
Speaker 3: The Neighbor's app is like, why are there cops at
Speaker 3: this intersection? There's a suspicious looking person in my neighborhood
Speaker 3: and I lost my dog or I have to get
Speaker 3: rid of my dog.
Speaker 1: Will somebody adopt him? Right? In these cases, I think
Speaker 1: that makes sense. You're talking to the people right around you.
Speaker 1: You want to get your dog back. I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1: It sucks so bad to have an animal that's lost.
Speaker 1: But that's why this is so gross and wrong. And
Speaker 1: the AI scam that's going around is targeting people who
Speaker 1: lose their dogs and post it online. Here's an example
Speaker 1: from Chain six. An emotional reunion unfolded in Deltona, Florida,
Speaker 1: after a family was reunited with their beloved dog Archer,
Speaker 1: days after he went missing, and after they say they
Speaker 1: were targeted by a disturbing scam involving artificial intelligence. Archer
Speaker 1: is a great name for a dog. Litton cousins said
Speaker 1: the ordeal began late Saturday night after returning home from
Speaker 1: an Orlando Solar Bears game. When we got home, usually
Speaker 1: the dogs are there to welcome you, but this time
Speaker 1: only one dog came instead of three. The family quickly
Speaker 1: realized their eleven year old beagle mix Archer, was missing,
Speaker 1: and they spent hours searching the neighborhood. So this is
Speaker 1: what we all do, right, we all go out there
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, we look around for the dog, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Then you start posting on social media. You go,
Speaker 1: here's a photograph of my dog. I want you to
Speaker 1: keep an eye off for it. Hell, we'll give you
Speaker 1: a reward if you could find it. And this is
Speaker 1: where the scam comes in. The next morning, they received
Speaker 1: a phone call from somebody claiming to have found Archer.
Speaker 1: The caller said the dog had been hit by a
Speaker 1: car and need an emergency surgery. The first thing we
Speaker 1: were thinking is, oh my god, somebody found him, then
Speaker 1: we need to do emergency surgery. Do we have authorization?
Speaker 1: And we said yes, obviously, right, I mean obviously. Things
Speaker 1: took a turn when the caller demanded more than two
Speaker 1: thy seven hundred dollars for the procedure and insisted the
Speaker 1: payment be made using gift cards. The family asked for
Speaker 1: proof that they had the dog, and he sent us
Speaker 1: a picture in there it was my dog laying on
Speaker 1: the operating table. And what they did was they're taking
Speaker 1: the photos that people post of their dogs when they're
Speaker 1: missing them, and they're putting them through AI. Oh gross,
Speaker 1: and they're saying take this dog now in AI. It
Speaker 1: as if it's on like the operating table at a
Speaker 1: veterinary clinic. And then people are utilizing that to go
Speaker 1: we got your dog, but we need a payment from
Speaker 1: you right now. Heroin Bob saying, man, f the people
Speaker 1: who do this. There's a couple of people on my
Speaker 1: terrible human being right now. Anybody who engages in this,
Speaker 1: you are a piece of I'll have to stop myself.
Speaker 1: You are an absolutely, you're human trash personified if you're
Speaker 1: trying to go after people and take their money who
Speaker 1: have missing dogs. But they're utilizing the technology to rope
Speaker 1: people in. It was like it look convincing. At first.
Speaker 1: They said his fur looked a little bit different and
Speaker 1: there was like an X ray in the background. But
Speaker 1: they went for it, you know. I guess later that
Speaker 1: afternoon and neighbor told the family he saw a woman
Speaker 1: pick up Archer after he got loose in the yard.
Speaker 1: Days later, the same woman with the vehicle return dropping
Speaker 1: him off at the house. So they got the dog back.
Speaker 1: Is the good news. But you gotta be aware of this,
Speaker 1: and I want you to do something for me this weekend.
Speaker 1: All right. I want you to go tell your parents
Speaker 1: and older people in your life and people who are
Speaker 1: not very savvy about this. Hey, if your peg goes missing,
Speaker 1: please remember that this is something that people can and
Speaker 1: will do. It's disgusting, but they'll take the missing animal photo,
Speaker 1: they will use AI and they will pretend like they
Speaker 1: have your animal, and they'll try to get thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars out of you for vet bills. Just make people aware.
Speaker 1: That's how we shut down these scams at the source.
Speaker 1: I hope you'll do that this weekend. Tell somebody you
Speaker 1: heard it here, all right, quick break, when we come back,
Speaker 1: we got a little message coming across from the Just CALLMO, folks.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna like this. It's gonna be real
Speaker 1: nice on a Friday for some of you, and we'll
Speaker 1: get into what it is, because that's coming up next.
Speaker 1: I'm going to use junkie. Appreciate you hanging out with
Speaker 1: us today, Appreciate all the emails and the dispatches, and
Speaker 1: we'll work in some of those along the journey to day.
Speaker 1: One thing I wanted to get into. I just want
Speaker 1: to throw this out for all of the people who
Speaker 1: are getting involved in this, because I think we need
Speaker 1: to have just like we need to have conversations with
Speaker 1: our older friends. And somebody was just saying after the
Speaker 1: last story being about this AI scam, which is so horrific,
Speaker 1: like it's horrific, where people decide, Hey, what we're going
Speaker 1: to do is when people post their missing pets on
Speaker 1: social media platforms, we're going to take photos of the pets,
Speaker 1: use AI to put that pet inside of Vets operating
Speaker 1: room and tell them we've found the animal, but it's
Speaker 1: been hit by a vehicle and they need to send
Speaker 1: us a couple thousand dollars right now, the idea that
Speaker 1: people could scoop up money like that and fall asleep
Speaker 1: at night. I wish all the worst nightmares upon you.
Speaker 1: I do, I truly do. I wish you the worst
Speaker 1: If that's what you're what you're doing. But somebody in
Speaker 1: Chad said, yeah, we have a gathering that happens like
Speaker 1: a weekly or monthly gathering where a bunch of elderly
Speaker 1: people from the neighborhood are hanging out, and there's time
Speaker 1: that we set aside to go over all of the
Speaker 1: AI scams and different scams that are going on targeting
Speaker 1: older people. And I thought, that's genius. That's actually a
Speaker 1: really good service, and I'm glad you're doing that. For
Speaker 1: old people, we need to tell them about scams, protect them.
Speaker 1: They're the most likely to get taken advantage of. For
Speaker 1: young people. I know some of you might think this
Speaker 1: sounds too simple, but we need to tell them some
Speaker 1: pretty obvious advice about finances. When I see a headline
Speaker 1: like this, let me bring this story up here here
Speaker 1: it is. This is real, an actual story, and it
Speaker 1: says more Americans are buying groceries using buy now, pay later, Okay,
Speaker 1: buy now, pay later to buy groceries. Not to buy
Speaker 1: a PlayStation five, not to buy you know, anything else
Speaker 1: crazy that you just can't afford to pay for all
Speaker 1: at once. Not to buy the treadmill you were looking
Speaker 1: at on Amazon, but instead to buy groceries. It says
Speaker 1: Americans are increasingly using buying out a pay later for
Speaker 1: everyday expenses like groceries.
Speaker 3: Didn't we have a story not too long ago where
Speaker 3: you could like use a firm or one of those
Speaker 3: you know, buy now, pay later or payment plans on
Speaker 3: like Chipotle.
Speaker 1: I think, so, yeah, yeah, you're like the craziness of saying, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to do the buy now,
Speaker 1: pay later, and then somebody goes, oh, what you get
Speaker 1: football tickets or you're going to a concert? Is way
Speaker 1: too expensive? No groceries, and then they go they just
Speaker 1: start piling up these debts all over the place. So
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who are relying on these.
Speaker 1: And if you are, if you've used these, I want
Speaker 1: to hear from you today. So tell me what you've
Speaker 1: used buy now, pay later for and if it's been
Speaker 1: a good experience for you. But I do have some
Speaker 1: information we wanted to get out there. Our friend from
Speaker 1: the just callm dot com family is with us at
Speaker 1: John Busdecker John can hear us? Are you there?

Speaker 1: got to last night. I don't know what what happened.
Speaker 1: You know how he could be in Las Vegas. You've
Speaker 1: you've seen Moses DeWitt on the move in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: He turns into a different care is a you know,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not it's important, not important. It's never
Speaker 1: important in Vegas anyways. But he'll he'll like slid a
Speaker 1: pair of sunglasses on or something, just to let you
Speaker 1: know it's a whole different human being you're dealing with
Speaker 1: at that time. But he'll pay the tab today. So
Speaker 1: go out there, dough Boys and Ovido get a free
Speaker 1: lunch over at that location for the National Chicken Palm Day.
Speaker 1: All right, a couple of things to get to here,
Speaker 1: Let's see what we got tips to the news Junkie
Speaker 1: dot com. Kristen emails the show. She says, about that
Speaker 1: cruise case you were talking about yesterday, I've got the
Speaker 1: attorney on this who is supposed to be maybe in
Speaker 1: like the last minute of the show today joining us.
Speaker 1: So we'll see. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. But
Speaker 1: Kristin's talking about the attorney that just beat Carnival Cruise Line,
Speaker 1: and Carnival Cruise Line paid out three hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to this lady who had fifteen shots at tequila? Do
Speaker 1: you just blacked out? Maybe if we get a chance
Speaker 1: to ask him, he'll he'll tell us. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Do you think this is one of his bigger sells
Speaker 3: because he said in the video he sues cruise lines
Speaker 3: for a living. He is a lawyer who predominantly picks
Speaker 3: up cases against cruise lines and that's his bag.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's a decent amount of money. Maybe
Speaker 1: he has had gotten more before. But Kristin emails about
Speaker 1: that particular case where the woman didn't blame herself, she
Speaker 1: blamed the cruise line for giving her too many shots
Speaker 1: at tequila and her blocking out on the ship and
Speaker 1: hurting herself. Christin says, hey, Sean just wanted to mention
Speaker 1: in case you did do get to talk to that
Speaker 1: cruise suing attorney something I hadn't seen before. It looks
Speaker 1: like the jury found Carnival sixty percent liable. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: that makes a pretty big difference in the headline. It's
Speaker 1: still an astounding verdict, and I hope Carnival wins on
Speaker 1: appeal so they don't f with my drink package because
Speaker 1: I'm a shareholder. Okay, well for both of those reasons.
Speaker 1: Really anyway, I thought I mentioned it, She says, Kristin,
Speaker 1: thank you for the email. I didn't see that. I
Speaker 1: was wondering if there was any twis in this and
Speaker 1: like anything that would make it make more sense. But
Speaker 1: she's saying they said there was sixty percent liable does that.
Speaker 3: Mean that if they had found Carnival one hundred percent
Speaker 3: liable then he would have gotten her even more money.
Speaker 1: Possibly. We'll put that on the list for mo like,
Speaker 1: cause I haven't run into those kind of situations before.
Speaker 1: We'll see what We'll see what we can make out
Speaker 1: of that. Thank you for the email tips to the
Speaker 1: news junki dot com. Yours is coming in as well.
Speaker 1: If you want to be an honest put that right
Speaker 1: up on top of the email. It's easy enough to do.
Speaker 1: A big thanks to everybody who hung out with us
Speaker 1: last night on a brand new secret show that will
Speaker 1: be released today by five pm. All right, five pm,
Speaker 1: the new Secret Show will be posted and it was
Speaker 1: an absolute doozy. Big thanks to Snappo for the gifted
Speaker 1: subs over there on the Newsjunkie dot com. You can
Speaker 1: always subscribe on the website or gift subs to other
Speaker 1: people who are hanging out with the show right now.
Speaker 1: Do that at thenewsjunkie dot com. A lot of people
Speaker 1: responded to the buy now, pay later thing, and for me,
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm not coming down on you. By the way,
Speaker 1: if you use Klarna or a firm I've used them before,
Speaker 1: and some of them are useful. So let's say you're
Speaker 1: gonna buy something you don't want to pay for it
Speaker 1: all at once and knock it into some payments with
Speaker 1: you know, not too bad of an interest setup. If
Speaker 1: you pay it off quickly, that's fine. But sometimes people
Speaker 1: would just go, oh, you don't want real money. Oh,
Speaker 1: I could just give you buy now, pay later money. Fine, later,
Speaker 1: ME will deal with that. And then you start stacking
Speaker 1: up all of these financial issues. After I go to
Speaker 1: the casino. I'll pay this off, right, Yeah, Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: you're hanging out with Mo with the casino. Next thing.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of people who end up.
Speaker 3: Doing show hanging out with Moses at the casino. No,
Speaker 3: he sits at different tables than I do.
Speaker 1: Sea Lands at the Hooters casino, at the at the
Speaker 1: two dollars hand. Yeah, time of my life. Mo's at
Speaker 1: someplace with white marble columns and a dress code. Even
Speaker 1: there the only place in Vegas where you probably can't
Speaker 1: smoke a quick break. When we come back, we'll hear
Speaker 1: from you. We'll work in those dispatches. The stock market
Speaker 1: is going nuts. Things are going crazy for the World Cup.
Speaker 1: I'm very very confused as to what's happening there. But
Speaker 1: it's super interesting and another issue. I hate to say it,
Speaker 1: but on a plane and we'll see what happened there.
Speaker 1: That's coming up next on the news junk Kie. I
Speaker 1: have a question for Celia and that I believe it
Speaker 1: or not. In all the years we've known each other,
Speaker 1: I have never asked you this. I don't believe Okay.
Speaker 1: So it's all to do with this story that's going
Speaker 1: absolutely viral today and it has me asking so many questions.
Speaker 1: Got a lot of feedback on this on the chat
Speaker 1: during the break to talk about it online. You were
Speaker 1: raised a Catholic correct, sel absolutely used to play drums
Speaker 1: in my Catholic church. You so you frequented the church.
Speaker 1: You've been in there, You've done that stuff. Did you
Speaker 1: ever in any of your years give an actual confession? Wow?
Speaker 3: Oh you have, yeah, but only for things that required it.
Speaker 3: So like when you go through your your religious education
Speaker 3: in Catholic church, you know, if you're not going to
Speaker 3: say a Catholic school and you so instead you go
Speaker 3: to we called it CCD. There's probably yeah, you know
Speaker 3: a million different ways to call it. But uh, I
Speaker 3: would go like once a week and you would learn.
Speaker 3: First you're learning about your first communion, and then you
Speaker 3: learn all the stuff and then you do your first communion,
Speaker 3: and then afterwards, when you're a little older, you do
Speaker 3: your confirmation. And what the confirmation is kind of like
Speaker 3: it's kind of like a baptism that you choose, right,
Speaker 3: there's a baptism has kind of chose for you, and
Speaker 3: then you're your little baby. You can't say no, and
Speaker 3: they're just splashing.
Speaker 1: You with the water.
Speaker 3: And name her Father, Son, Holy Spirit, all that good stuff.
Speaker 3: And then the confession. So for some of.
Speaker 1: These heart of that is like you literally go into
Speaker 1: like I've seen it on TV and there's a viral
Speaker 1: story that I'm gonna talk about here in a second.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, but it's like I picture it because I've
Speaker 1: never been where you go into this sort of thing
Speaker 1: where there's a you know, a screen or something and
Speaker 1: there's a priest on the other side that you can't
Speaker 1: really see, and then it's like the son confess your sins.
Speaker 3: So I've never been in a confessional booth. Different churches
Speaker 3: do it different way. And like when you think of
Speaker 3: the movies, you think of like, you know, New York
Speaker 3: City where you go into this church and you go
Speaker 3: into a closet and there's a priest in the other closet,
Speaker 3: and then they open up the thing. I've never I've
Speaker 3: never been in that. The closest I came was like
Speaker 3: I went into a room where you had the option
Speaker 3: of just kind of sitting with the priest at a
Speaker 3: desk and talking or if you wanted to do it
Speaker 3: kind of old school. They had a little divider that
Speaker 3: I could kneel at and he would open the thing.
Speaker 3: But I've I've confessed, like I want to say, twice
Speaker 3: in my life.
Speaker 1: All right, one was that murder charge and then the
Speaker 1: other one being right, you know, with covering my neighbor's ass.
Speaker 1: So it was mostly coveting my neighbor's ass. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to the story here that's starting this conversation.
Speaker 1: And there's a reason why I'm asking all these questions.
Speaker 1: This is from w CNC in North Carolina. I believe
Speaker 1: they're talking about what happened with this confessional, and I
Speaker 1: had not heard of a lot of these details.
Speaker 7: Their children inappropriate questions during confession late last year, have you.
Speaker 1: Seen ce Strows disappear as in studio now working on
Speaker 1: this story. You have been at it for weeks. Here, Jesse,
Speaker 1: you spoke with three different families, two of them on camera,
Speaker 1: who say their children were involved. What do they tell you?
Speaker 8: Well, these parents asked to remain anonymous to protect their children,
Speaker 8: but they say the questions their children say they were
Speaker 8: asked during confession were of sexual nature and say left
Speaker 8: their children alarmed.
Speaker 1: All right, so let me stop there. Do they ask questions?
Speaker 1: Everybody who's ever done this before? Because that's the big
Speaker 1: twist here. This person is reporting on what happened to
Speaker 1: these kids in North Carolina. The kids say the priest
Speaker 1: was like, I'm here for your confession, and then when
Speaker 1: they started confessing, the priest was like, yeah, but what
Speaker 1: about like sex stuff? Tell me, you know, tell me
Speaker 1: what you've done. Have you done this? Have you done that?
Speaker 1: And the priest was like leading them on to try
Speaker 1: to get them to answer stuff that was sexual in nature.
Speaker 1: And Isaac, I don't even know. Is it normally like
Speaker 1: an interview style thing.
Speaker 3: You're supposed to just volunteer your list of sins when
Speaker 3: you give confession.
Speaker 1: So it's not like Larry King Live when you're in there.
Speaker 3: No I would just like say, you know, I lied,
Speaker 3: and uh, I stole something from my friend or some
Speaker 3: stupid stuff like that.
Speaker 1: You're going to hell. No.
Speaker 3: Then they then they give you your your penance, like you
Speaker 3: got to say like six hail Mary's or you know,
Speaker 3: other other stuff like that, and then you're forgiven. But
Speaker 3: they never asked any questions. I don't remember. Yeah there,
Speaker 3: I don't remember any follow ups. Yeah, that's so weird.
Speaker 3: I want to hear more about what happened. I was
Speaker 3: really nervous to do it. I found the whole process
Speaker 3: kind of weird. I still find it.
Speaker 1: I still find it to be a little weird.
Speaker 3: And I've said this before, like yeah, I grew up
Speaker 3: going to a Catholic church, but I also went to
Speaker 3: a Methodist school, so I was I was getting two
Speaker 3: different versions of this. Where at church it was like
Speaker 3: you got to confess your sins and you do all this.
Speaker 3: At Methodist school it was like you just got to
Speaker 3: pray to Jesus and ask him to forgive you.
Speaker 1: You just got to tell somebody else at this church,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people on chatter saying this is
Speaker 1: not anything they've experienced before at this church. The guy
Speaker 1: would tell the younger girls like, so, tell me, have
Speaker 1: you done anything sexual? And they would ask questions about
Speaker 1: things that were sexual in nature, and these young girls
Speaker 1: are like, this doesn't seem right. Here's what happened right now.
Speaker 8: The Diocese of Charlotte says they looked into the matter
Speaker 8: and ultimately found no wrongdoing.
Speaker 9: It's so difficult when you're dealing with the Catholic Church,
Speaker 9: thinking about a century's old institution that has a very
Speaker 9: specific hierarchy.
Speaker 8: A sacred ritual at Charlotte Catholic High School under scrutiny.
Speaker 1: It's not about an indictment of the Catholic Church. It's about,
Speaker 1: you know, protecting our children.
Speaker 8: Parents say in December, a priest's questions to students during
Speaker 8: confession cross the line. He asked her if she masturbates
Speaker 8: their daughter was not alone?
Speaker 1: All right, that's got to be over the line, right.
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you if somebody is asking my child,
Speaker 1: priest or no priest, specific details like that, that's messed up.
Speaker 1: Like if I just do that on the street, isn't
Speaker 1: that is that a crime? I hate to even say
Speaker 1: some of this stuff a lot allowed, But like if
Speaker 1: I go over to a high school, and I just
Speaker 1: start asking the high school girls.
Speaker 3: Remember earlier this week when we said that that the
Speaker 3: doorbell guy, the crazy dude, got an extra charge of
Speaker 3: like annoying or molesting, which seems like so drastically different things,
Speaker 3: or as far as how bad they are that when
Speaker 3: I read through what can get you that charge, it
Speaker 3: sounds like the thing you're saying now, like going to
Speaker 3: a school and say, hey.
Speaker 1: Right, it's a catch all for what they're doing here,
Speaker 1: I would think of it.
Speaker 8: He asked my daughter if she's ever had a sexual
Speaker 8: relationship with a boy. Both parents say the questions were unprompted.
Speaker 9: She said, Mom, I was telling them about missing mass
Speaker 9: and you know, lying to you and fighting with my brother.
Speaker 9: We were not talking about anything sexual.
Speaker 1: What a creeper. He was bored. The priest in North Carolina,
Speaker 1: who's hearing this confession from the teenage girls, He's going, hey, lied,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, did you were you late for math? Cluss?
Speaker 1: He's bored, And then he's like, tell me about masturbating,
Speaker 1: tell me about that. He wanted something exciting, And the
Speaker 1: school somehow looked into this and said, nothing wrong happened.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They're looking at it like he asked about
Speaker 1: your sins?
Speaker 3: Are you sinning? I would wonder I did he ask
Speaker 3: you if you killed anybody? Like did you hear the
Speaker 3: young girl about all of the sins?
Speaker 1: You know, dude, if the only way out of this
Speaker 1: would be if he was literally going through a list
Speaker 1: of the sins.
Speaker 3: Let's go through the Big ten and some of their outliers, one.
Speaker 1: After another, if he was doing it, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: sound like he was just going for the creepies to
Speaker 1: just ask me that.
Speaker 8: They took their concerns to school leaders in the Diocese
Speaker 8: of Charlotte. The bishop responded with a letter saying the
Speaker 8: matter was taken seriously, but since a priest can't talk
Speaker 8: about what is said during confession, it limits what information
Speaker 8: he can learn.
Speaker 1: Oh that sometimes.
Speaker 8: People come to confession without fully preparing or reflecting on
Speaker 8: their action.
Speaker 1: Oh, oh great, so they're blaming the people for not
Speaker 1: knowing how to properly confess Number one and then number two.
Speaker 1: We were trying to interview the priest about what happened
Speaker 1: in these situations, but we can't interview them because the
Speaker 1: priest says, Look, I can't tell you what people confess
Speaker 1: to me. I can't declare anything that has happened in
Speaker 1: this confessional booth. I'm not allowed to do that. What
Speaker 1: a very convenient way out of a situation, like bit
Speaker 1: of a loophole.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's found the loophole. It's like when a school
Speaker 3: netflix love loopholes. It's like butt one.
Speaker 1: It's like when the school goes there's a an employee
Speaker 1: who's flirting with some of the kids or something, and
Speaker 1: the school goes, this is actually an employee matter, and
Speaker 1: we don't comment on on staff matters to the press.
Speaker 1: And it is not really convenient that you don't have
Speaker 1: to do this. The guy's going, I can't tell you
Speaker 1: what happened, because he says in.
Speaker 8: Those cases, a priest may offer general age appropriate examples
Speaker 8: of common sense to guide the conversation. For these families,
Speaker 8: the response fell short, leaving them more frustrated.
Speaker 9: The whole letter felt a little bit like we were
Speaker 9: being gaslighted.
Speaker 8: Did not address any of the other issues whatsoever, and
Speaker 8: I felt very dismissed and I was very upset. In
Speaker 8: a statement, the Diocese of Charlotte's investigated, Yeah really, and
Speaker 8: found that priests did not violate it's policy of conduct.
Speaker 1: All right, so they said the priest wasn't in violation.
Speaker 1: So I toss it out to you, my Catholic friends
Speaker 1: listening to the show today, especially those of you who
Speaker 1: have been to a confessional. Does this sound normal or
Speaker 1: wrong to you? Does this sound like this was a
Speaker 1: creepy priest? Or this is people being too sensitive? Let
Speaker 1: us know. Send us a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: The church defending itself no surprise there, saying we investigated
Speaker 1: ourselves and nobody did anything wrong. We'll see what you
Speaker 1: think in just a moment on the show. An email
Speaker 1: coming in from Matt's in Port Saint Lucy saying to
Speaker 1: tips to the Newsjunkie dot com buy now, pay later,
Speaker 1: He goes, I've utilized buy now, pay later for concert tickets. God,
Speaker 1: what a sad state of affairs that we have to
Speaker 1: finance concert tickets, a lawnmower, car tires and repairs. Now,
Speaker 1: let me say something here. The car tires and repairs
Speaker 1: is a smart one. That is absolutely a smart one.
Speaker 1: Those are oftentimes things that will get to you and
Speaker 1: you don't have enough reserve cash and it's a surprise
Speaker 1: charge and you need to get your car. So you
Speaker 1: can get working out there, that makes sense. Do buy now,
Speaker 1: pay later on that if you can, that's fine. But
Speaker 1: groceries and some of these other things are crazy, he says,
Speaker 1: from credit card companies offering six months zero percent to
Speaker 1: PayPal doing similar I've utilized these because it's actually cheaper
Speaker 1: than the credit cards in some cases, says Matt import
Speaker 1: Saint Lucie.
Speaker 3: I would think concert tickets is a little more common.
Speaker 3: If you're doing like a festival, like some of those
Speaker 3: multi day festivals, camping kind of festivals, they have a big,
Speaker 3: big markup on that cost and you end up doing
Speaker 3: it in installments, usually a lot of times through the
Speaker 3: actual vendor of the festival itself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, four or five, you know, six hundred dollars sometimes
Speaker 1: sometimes you want to do that. Give us your experience
Speaker 1: and send your dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Right now,
Speaker 1: I got to get to this airport story, believe it
Speaker 1: or not. I'm hesitant to do it on account of
Speaker 1: I know what will happen when that takes place, But
Speaker 1: we do have to take a quick break, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna do that right now. We'll get geared up for
Speaker 1: this week in Florida, which is on the way just
Speaker 1: a bit. There was a near disaster in the air though,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to play the air traffic control freak
Speaker 1: out for you. Whether I get hit with this song
Speaker 1: or not is really just beyond me at the moment.
Speaker 1: That's coming up next something news junkie. People like to
Speaker 1: make selfish decisions sometimes, and the selfish decisions will make
Speaker 1: living in public worse for other people. And I saw
Speaker 1: one of the stories that led me down this path
Speaker 1: was somebody confronting a person in a Trader Joe's and
Speaker 1: the person was just walking around with her big ass
Speaker 1: golden doodle dog in the Trader Joe's, and I go,
Speaker 1: you know what, that's why. And the publics that I
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store, they had signs up. I think.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're still there, but I think
Speaker 1: they might be. They said no dogs, you can't bring
Speaker 1: your dogs.
Speaker 3: They have it up there for a while as like
Speaker 3: a reminder, like hey, listen, only service animals here, none
Speaker 3: of your pets.
Speaker 1: Somebody in chat was like, I just went to the
Speaker 1: grocery store the other day and there was somebody with
Speaker 1: a little dog in their hand and they were like
Speaker 1: covering the dog over the souper bowl, and I go,
Speaker 1: why aren't Why aren't we calling these people out? What
Speaker 1: maybe we should be saying, like hey, why are you
Speaker 1: bringing the dog into the grocery store. What is happening
Speaker 1: is like a weaponization of these people not caring and
Speaker 1: knowing that you're too scared to say something to them
Speaker 1: in public, like if you wear if you wear like
Speaker 1: the wrong hat or shirt or like a politic like
Speaker 1: a maga hat, someone will confront you in public. But
Speaker 1: people won't confront you if you're walking around a grocery
Speaker 1: store with a bunch of food around with a golden doodle.
Speaker 1: That's not like saving your life or something. It's just
Speaker 1: your dog. Yeah. I think also.
Speaker 3: There are companies that are too scared to confront people
Speaker 3: with pets because they either they don't understand the rules
Speaker 3: or they just maybe it's policy to have like an
Speaker 3: overabundance of caution with the rules because they're worried about
Speaker 3: some sort of ADA lawsuit.
Speaker 1: Yeah that yes, And and what key West is saying
Speaker 1: on twitch Sea Lane, so they said they're big ding you,
Speaker 1: and they one hundred percent are. They're like, you won't
Speaker 1: do it. I'm going to do this thing. It's against
Speaker 1: the stated rules, but nobody wants a confrontation, so nobody's
Speaker 1: going to do it. And because these people are like,
Speaker 1: go ahead, do it, do the confrontation, and nobody wants
Speaker 1: to do the confrontation because the rest of us are
Speaker 1: good people, then they just keep doing it. They get
Speaker 1: away with it over and over and over again, and
Speaker 1: then there's a golden Doodle and the trader Jos. I mean, I.
Speaker 3: Think it wouldn't be crazy. I'm sure that just like
Speaker 3: every job, there's regular training, regular updates in your training.
Speaker 3: Like just remind these people under the Americans with Disabilities
Speaker 3: Act what they're allowed to ask. You're allowed to ask
Speaker 3: is this a service animal? And you're allowed to ask
Speaker 3: what service does the animal provide? And if they say
Speaker 3: it's an emotional support dog, you can piss off because
Speaker 3: that's not covered right.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, I hate that though there might
Speaker 1: be some backlash for people who are blind and have
Speaker 1: seeing eye dogs or somebody who has an actual dog
Speaker 1: that's there for like a legitimate purpose, because some of
Speaker 1: these other people are such bad offenders. And I love dogs,
Speaker 1: I love animals, I love all this stuff. But it's
Speaker 1: just so weird to see people do that, and they're
Speaker 1: pushing the limits of what they can get away with,
Speaker 1: even if it's against the rules. They know that you
Speaker 1: don't want to confront them, they know that it makes
Speaker 1: everybody else uncomfortable, and they take advantage.
Speaker 3: So are you encouraging these places like a like a
Speaker 3: Publix to call people out or I think people should
Speaker 3: call them other customers.
Speaker 1: I think people should call them out. There's got to
Speaker 1: be a good.
Speaker 3: Way to do it, because there are places that allow
Speaker 3: dogs that you kind of don't necessarily think of bringing
Speaker 3: your dogs to. Like for example, I had a friend
Speaker 3: that worked at a particular liquor store that's a pretty
Speaker 3: popular chain, and she was.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, bring Lexi. We would we'd love to see her.
Speaker 1: Bring her. Well, you don't get your vodka. And I
Speaker 1: think that's great. I love it. I've brought Lady our
Speaker 1: dog to places like that, dig It. I'm with it.
Speaker 3: I think either Home Depot or Low's or perhaps both
Speaker 3: are pet friendly.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. That's fine too. All of those
Speaker 1: things are great. The problem is when there's the places
Speaker 1: that they know aren't and they go too bad. What
Speaker 1: you're going to do about it, come confront me. I'll
Speaker 1: start screaming at you all. Bring my camera out. I'll
Speaker 1: go this guy's harassing me in the middle of the
Speaker 1: grocery store, and they'll make up a bunch of stories.
Speaker 1: If everybody's afraid of confrontations from people breaking social code,
Speaker 1: and I think we need to call out more people
Speaker 1: breaking social codes. I think we do. I think if
Speaker 1: we do, it'll make them think twice about doing it.
Speaker 1: Right now, you're thinking twice about saying something to them. Instead,
Speaker 1: Let's make them think twice about doing the thing that
Speaker 1: makes everybody else's experience and outcomes worse. I think that
Speaker 1: would be better. All right, A couple of things we've
Speaker 1: got to get into here. Sorry, I just saw that
Speaker 1: and revived in an old argument in me where I'm like,
Speaker 1: why are people doing this? I take issue with this.
Speaker 1: I take issue with this comment. But tell me what
Speaker 1: you think. This is the President of the United States
Speaker 1: of America and he was speaking at a no tax
Speaker 1: on Tips event in Las Vegas, Nevada. Not sure if
Speaker 1: that's where our friend mo is or not, but maybe
Speaker 1: you mean at the no tax on Tips event. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's in Vegas. We know he's out in Vegas doing
Speaker 1: something right now. But Trump was out there and he
Speaker 1: made a statement, and I said, I think this is
Speaker 1: not right. I feel like, what do you what do
Speaker 1: you even saying here? Here? He is addition to.
Speaker 4: An addition to no text on Social Security open fifty
Speaker 4: one million seniors now pay seniors are seniors are loving me,
Speaker 4: and I love them. Of course, of course I'm not
Speaker 4: a senior, so you know, oh, okay, cater to the seniors,
Speaker 4: but I don't happen to be a senior myself, Thank
Speaker 4: you very.
Speaker 1: Mun I was going to stop here. What's the definition
Speaker 1: of a senior? Is it? I'm if you look this
Speaker 1: up and I'm in senior territory, I literally will walk
Speaker 1: out on this week. I will say see you later.
Speaker 1: I've bled enough this week. I can't take it anymore.
Speaker 1: Says forty three year old old. I knew you're or older.
Speaker 1: So he's one one hundred senior. It's like, absolutely positively
Speaker 1: a senior. Yes, by every stretch of the imagination or
Speaker 1: definition of it. But yeah, I saw that. I was like,
Speaker 1: I think that's wrong, probably trolling, and I'm sure people
Speaker 1: are all saying sixty five and up. Does it mean
Speaker 1: does it mean that you're getting like Social Security? Is
Speaker 1: that like one of the indicators that you would be
Speaker 1: a senior.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think just being eligible for Social Security?
Speaker 3: What's the age of that is that? Is it sixty
Speaker 3: five for Social Security?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's getting older. Actually, though
Speaker 1: they've been trying to cat up further.
Speaker 3: Social Security retirement benefits are available as early as age
Speaker 3: sixty two, though this results in reduced payments. Full retirement
Speaker 3: age or FRA, which provides one hundred percent of the benefits,
Speaker 3: is for sixty seven if you were born after nineteen sixty.
Speaker 1: Somebody says, I got ARP at fifty. That's wild out there.
Speaker 1: My husband is sixty at the end of the month. Tjai,
Speaker 1: you could call Tjai in chat over. Checked out the
Speaker 1: Neewsjunkie dot com and boots he did. They said a
Speaker 1: senior citizen is typically defined as an individual sixty to
Speaker 1: sixty five, often eligible for retirement off its homeboys eighty something.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's one hundred percent in that category. Just
Speaker 1: for the record, let us know what you think, Senator
Speaker 1: dispatch over at thenewschunky dot com.
Speaker 3: Unless we have a category that's older than senior that
Speaker 3: we've we've missed out on, and that he's there.
Speaker 1: One I don't think, so is there like okay, there
Speaker 1: would be like senior and then elderly. Is elderly a
Speaker 1: new category when you get there. I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: that's actually a category or just a thing that you
Speaker 1: say to define that somebody's evil older than I said,
Speaker 1: what comes after senior citizen? And it says death's shut
Speaker 1: up brutal After senior citizen.
Speaker 3: Terminology often shifts based on age, health, and functionality. Common
Speaker 3: terms for later stages include elder often associated with increased
Speaker 3: age or frailty, septagenarium, octagenarian, nonagenarium, centenary, centenarium, that's super
Speaker 3: eighty ninety, Yes.
Speaker 1: And on up. All right, let's do it. I teased this,
Speaker 1: so let's get back on a plane. Unfortunately, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: to me, right now, he's not prepared. Surprise. That's not
Speaker 1: a surprise either, as long as it flies insane and
Speaker 1: as you might a guess, we're back.
Speaker 9: On a plane.
Speaker 1: Indeed, it looks like there was a near miss, a
Speaker 1: close call at an airport in Louisville, Kentucky. I believe,
Speaker 1: and this crash was a close call between a UPS
Speaker 1: plane and a another aircraft went down about twelve ten am,
Speaker 1: so very early in the morning of Tuesday, and there
Speaker 1: was a flight that was instructed to do a go around,
Speaker 1: and I guess they started. I guess it got kind
Speaker 1: of crazy. I have and listen to the audio. Yet,
Speaker 1: let's see if it lives up or if it doesn't.
Speaker 7: But here it is Muhamad Ali Airport this week after
Speaker 7: a UPS plane had to dodge another plane. The FAA
Speaker 7: tells us this happened just after midnight on Tuesday. They
Speaker 7: say air traffic control had to tell that UPS plane
Speaker 7: to perform a go around maneuver after another plane turned
Speaker 7: onto the runway without permission. The two planes maintained separation
Speaker 7: and did not make contact. It comes five months after
Speaker 7: that deadly UPS plane crash at Louisville's.
Speaker 1: Air That's why they're bringing this up because there was
Speaker 1: a very very bad accident at this place. They didn't
Speaker 1: play any of the ATF stuff.
Speaker 3: When was the plane crash at Louisville Because the one
Speaker 3: that I was thinking of that she was going to
Speaker 3: reference would.
Speaker 1: Be was that JFK or LaGuardia with the fire truck.
Speaker 1: There have been a couple. There was one that was
Speaker 1: at DC. Are you talking about the one with the helicopter?
Speaker 1: Are you talking about ups in particular?
Speaker 3: No, the plane that was landing and you know, the
Speaker 3: fire truck had turned onto the runway and you know the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pilot's got smash right into it. I forgot where
Speaker 1: that was. There's been so many of these issues that
Speaker 1: have happened in the last La Guardia four months or
Speaker 1: so that it kind of runs into each other here.
Speaker 1: But in this case it was ups flight. I guess.
Speaker 1: I guess the flight had to pull up like a
Speaker 1: thousand feet or at least one of them did. I
Speaker 1: don't have the ATF audio. I'll try to find that
Speaker 1: at some point in time. But apparently was another one
Speaker 1: of these very very close calls and things got really
Speaker 1: rough there for a second. And to avoid the song
Speaker 1: yet again, might as well just get this out of
Speaker 1: the way. Let's just do it now. Let's just get
Speaker 1: it out of the way, because there are some problems
Speaker 1: with Spirit Airlines that have people talking this weekend, here
Speaker 1: we go.
Speaker 10: So what happens if the reports are true and Spirit
Speaker 10: is forced to liquidate, essentially shutting down Historically, when that
Speaker 10: has happened, airlines essentially go away overnight. So there is
Speaker 10: the potential if Spirit is told to cease operations and liquidate,
Speaker 10: flyers will be stranded. Other airlines already have plans in
Speaker 10: place to offer what they call rescue fares, discounted one
Speaker 10: way fares to get people home, but there is the
Speaker 10: potential if a worst case scenario plays out in the
Speaker 10: coming days, the flyers will want to have at least
Speaker 10: some idea of a backup plan.
Speaker 1: So they're saying, if you buy Spirit Airlines tickets right now,
Speaker 1: the company could literally disappear while you're in the air,
Speaker 1: and then you land and you have a connection or something,
Speaker 1: and then they go Spirit Airlines. Who are you talking about?
Speaker 1: If somebody grabs the sign out of the gate and
Speaker 1: just hauls asked with the Spirit logo and goes off
Speaker 1: into the night, they are going to possibly dissolve the
Speaker 1: company while some of these people are in the air.
Speaker 3: You know what happens if you're in the air when
Speaker 3: they do that, they don't have a gate to go to.
Speaker 3: They just land and they have this It's true, isn't it.
Speaker 3: No No I just made that up that.
Speaker 1: No I think that's true. If they don't, if they
Speaker 1: don't exist as a company, then they don't. They're not
Speaker 1: able to operate the gate in that moment, and then
Speaker 1: they would have to wait and figure out how to
Speaker 1: deplane these people to block general aviation or something. Hold on,
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 10: Let's se what the guy says, another way to get
Speaker 10: home if they need it. Spirit says it's business as usual.
Speaker 10: They're continuing to operate their flights, They're continuing to accept bookings,
Speaker 10: new reservations. But we understand some of the bankrupt airlines
Speaker 10: creditors are starting to have doubts about the long term
Speaker 10: future of Spirit, their ability to get back to profitability,
Speaker 10: especially because of this surge in fuel prices that have
Speaker 10: nearly doubled since the start of the year.
Speaker 1: So there you go. The fuel price is more expensive,
Speaker 1: things are rough, they're running too thin. You might be
Speaker 1: on a Spirit Airlines flight and then presto bango when
Speaker 1: it lands, your connection doesn't exist anymore. Do you think
Speaker 1: that right now?
Speaker 3: I mean, they're already a budget airline, But if you
Speaker 3: bought a Spirit Airline ticket today, you are gambling with
Speaker 3: that trip, right.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's cheap. We should be getting a
Speaker 1: real solid deal.
Speaker 3: I would say I should be getting a might not
Speaker 3: fly at all discount.
Speaker 1: All right, let's say if I want to go to Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: All right, what are you gonna give you? I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go to Austin, Texas four hundred and nineteen dollars? Well,
Speaker 1: that's just what is that only one way? You guys
Speaker 1: are barely a company, right, nineteen bucks? Is that is
Speaker 1: that round trip? Or no, that's just one way. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the cheapest fare four hundred nineteen dollars and
Speaker 1: then on the way back cheapest fare three hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy four dollars. So two flights, it's not even what
Speaker 1: it is NonStop, I guess two flights seven hundred ninety
Speaker 1: two dollars on an airline that might disappear.
Speaker 3: Are how many bags are you checking? How are you
Speaker 3: getting the seven hundred nine two bucks?
Speaker 1: That's just from the picking the department flight and the
Speaker 1: return flight. That's it. I didn't even put anything down
Speaker 1: for those are the value versions of the flights for
Speaker 1: Spirit Airlines. The hell's going on over there? I would
Speaker 1: have thought that you would say, hey, forty nine bucks
Speaker 1: wherever you want to fly. Make this like the megabus
Speaker 1: thing for a while. Well, there's not a lot of
Speaker 1: trust in what you have going on over there. All right,
Speaker 1: that's not what you think.
Speaker 3: I'm searching now, I could get on well Spirit that
Speaker 3: says that's a one stop try to try to go
Speaker 3: to New York City.
Speaker 1: Right, that's Spirit or just in general on Spirit on
Speaker 1: spirit a right, Spirit air spirits that come. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: should be if you Tanya says, you were always gambling
Speaker 1: with Spirit anyways, if you're going into New York City,
Speaker 1: there's it should never be that expensive for a Spirit flight. No,
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's a disaster. This is a budget
Speaker 1: airline for god, say MCO New York City, all right,
Speaker 1: New York City, oak cedy Uh kinda go to La
Speaker 1: Guardia Saturday to Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Sounds like a nice little thing. Search for flights. See
Speaker 3: I'm getting two hundred dollars this year.
Speaker 1: See that's better. That's I was going to Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's a little more expensive in that hub,
Speaker 1: and maybe the fuel costs is a little bit more. Also,
Speaker 1: sport Johnson said it's going to be more expensive if
Speaker 1: you fly same day. That's that's true. I was looking
Speaker 1: for like the immediate flights, which would be more expensive,
Speaker 1: but I would be iffy about flying them right now.
Speaker 1: If you're over there on the spirit side of things,
Speaker 1: let us know, send us a dispatch at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: All right to your feedback when we return. We're getting
Speaker 1: into your comments, your emails. We're getting geared up for
Speaker 1: it this week in Florida, folks. The time is away
Speaker 1: of that spirit story. We have possibly this this cruise
Speaker 1: ship attorney who might be joining us a little bit
Speaker 1: later on in the show, and a whole lot more
Speaker 1: twists and turns on the way it's coming up next.
Speaker 1: News Junkie, I can't believe this is controversial though. On
Speaker 1: the chat side of things, during the break, I'll get
Speaker 1: to this World Cup story about how everything seems to
Speaker 1: be spiraling for the World Cup in a moment, and
Speaker 1: even if you're not into sports, there's some interesting details there.
Speaker 1: But I was telling people on chat on school mic
Speaker 1: during the breaks. You can watch the show on YouTube
Speaker 1: and Twitch dot tv Slash the News Junkie Seeland. I
Speaker 1: was telling them about there's a story right now that's
Speaker 1: transfixing the people of Australia. They don't have a lot
Speaker 1: going on over there. They're worried about running out of
Speaker 1: oil soon because of this Aaran stuff, but they don't
Speaker 1: have a lot going on over there, and they're transfixed
Speaker 1: because there's security footage that's gone viral on all the
Speaker 1: social media platforms in Austin. Right it's and it is.
Speaker 1: It shows this poor guy. I'm not going to show
Speaker 1: you the video because why I feel so bad for
Speaker 1: this dude. It shows this poor guy. He's walking down
Speaker 1: the street and he looks around frantically, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he goes over to this person's lawn
Speaker 1: and he just drops his drawers and uses the restroom
Speaker 1: number two. Jillyray. He goes quickly and then he just
Speaker 1: zoomed me flies out of there and all these I
Speaker 1: thought people would agree on this, but they have not
Speaker 1: agreed on this. I don't think you should be doing
Speaker 1: this for fun. I don't think this should be something
Speaker 1: that people should be doing as a prank. But we
Speaker 1: can at least excuse it. I think in the most
Speaker 1: insane set of circumstances where this becomes an emergence, we.
Speaker 3: Have a friend of the show who this happened to
Speaker 3: very recently. I don't believe it was a toozy, but
Speaker 3: there was an extreme situation. Did you see our friend Eric,
Speaker 3: the truck driver who was stuck in that huge, like
Speaker 3: eight hour backup because because the truck on I seventy
Speaker 3: five like overturned.
Speaker 1: It was a big like like.
Speaker 3: Semi truck turned on I seventy five and blocked the
Speaker 3: entire direction of traffic, like every lane.
Speaker 1: So he's sitting there stuck like the Rim music video.
Speaker 1: It was a very moving, very everybody hurts. And he's
Speaker 1: a little set up man.
Speaker 3: He's got a he's got a truck, he's got a
Speaker 3: little like a little bunker in there. He could just
Speaker 3: lay in bed and wait for this thing to clear out.
Speaker 3: But he said that he he said there was some
Speaker 3: some blonde lady that just took a little squat behind
Speaker 3: his wheel. Well, everybody was stuck in traffic for like
Speaker 3: eight hours. People gotta go, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Somebody said in Chad like, when you gotta go, you
Speaker 1: gotta go. I know that sounds like a very childish thing,
Speaker 1: but all I'm saying is, can we reserve judgment in
Speaker 1: the most insane of circumstances like. It doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: this person is is always some terrible villain from a
Speaker 1: cartoon or something. It could be in some cases like
Speaker 1: haven't you guys gone on that run where you get
Speaker 1: out and you're a little far away from your house
Speaker 1: and you start feeling and you go, oh, this is
Speaker 1: not good. I don't know what I'm gonna need to do.
Speaker 1: I said, I've thought of this before. I've been I
Speaker 1: saw a pond nearby where I was, and I was
Speaker 1: gonna go into the pond up to my waist and
Speaker 1: just pretend like I was like going for a little
Speaker 1: swim in the middle of my my walk, and you
Speaker 1: know whatever, you're gonna got into the pond. You don't
Speaker 1: know what's in that pond, I know, but I know
Speaker 1: what was gonna be into the pond. Afterwards, I knew
Speaker 1: that I had to act fast. And now the whole country,
Speaker 1: everybody in Australia is like, who is he? Do we
Speaker 1: know who this man is? Who is the man pooper?
Speaker 1: Who is the mad pooper? Who is the man who
Speaker 1: did this? And I know that you have all been
Speaker 1: in a position like this at some point in time,
Speaker 1: So I want us to withhold judgment A right, Okay,
Speaker 1: I just the guy deserves a little bit more then
Speaker 1: for everybody to be thinking he should be arrested and
Speaker 1: hanged in the public square. But here we are. Let
Speaker 1: me know what you think. Send a dispatch over at
Speaker 1: thenewsjunkie dot com right now. And here's the story about
Speaker 1: the World Cup. And this is crazy. Here's what's happening.
Speaker 1: If you take a train from Penn Station in New
Speaker 1: York to the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, it usually
Speaker 1: costs twelve dollars to go from Penn Station to New Jersey,
Speaker 1: and that's where a lot of the World Cup action
Speaker 1: is going to be. There's some of the games taking
Speaker 1: place in this Jersey's MetLife Stadium, and usually it costs
Speaker 1: twelve dollars for you to ride one way and get
Speaker 1: to Jersey from Penn Station get to this MetLife Stadium.
Speaker 1: They are jacking up the prices for the World Cup
Speaker 1: and people who are traveling on this path to Jersey
Speaker 1: from New York because of the World Cup are going
Speaker 1: to have to pay not twelve dollars each way, but
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars each way, which is a
Speaker 1: one thousand percent jump in fares. And I heard from
Speaker 1: some people today on the chatroom chat dot thenewsjunkie dot com,
Speaker 1: and they're big into sports and soccer, and some people
Speaker 1: were suggesting that this is because FIFA takes all the
Speaker 1: money and some of the states don't get enough of it,
Speaker 1: Like New York might be getting somebody for the World Cup,
Speaker 1: but New Jersey's not getting enough. So New Jersey goes,
Speaker 1: all right, if you're not going to pay us enough,
Speaker 1: we're going to make it one hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 1: each way for people to take the train to come
Speaker 1: see the games for the World Cup. And it's sort
Speaker 1: of like a hostage negotiation move or something.
Speaker 3: It's weird because it doesn't sound illegal, like it sounds wrong,
Speaker 3: but it doesn't sound like they're violating any sort of
Speaker 3: Would there be any legal protect for train fairs?
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know. Like, here's what started this. The
Speaker 1: Governor New Jersey is it Mickey Cheryl Mikie the governor
Speaker 1: of New Jersey, Mikey or Mickey Cheryl, who inherited the
Speaker 1: FIFA contract, which he took office in January. The FIFA
Speaker 1: contract was from eight years ago and the governor of
Speaker 1: New Jersey said, Hey, we just can't let this happen.
Speaker 1: We've we've got a problem here, and now they're talking
Speaker 1: about tickets costing as much as ten thousand dollars right,
Speaker 1: so it's just absolutely out of control here and list
Speaker 1: see is there are more details about this. This is
Speaker 1: from Channel four in New York. Let's see what they
Speaker 1: say about the World Cup just imploding in terms of
Speaker 1: prices and stuff for dollars for round trip tickets from
Speaker 1: Penn Station to MetLife Stadium.
Speaker 4: News Force Chris Jose is live at Penn Station tonight
Speaker 4: with more on the controversial report.
Speaker 2: Chris, talk about sigger shock here, guys, lots of questions
Speaker 2: on this one.
Speaker 5: There's still plenty of unknown.
Speaker 2: Specifically, a round team ticket from New York Penn Station
Speaker 2: to MetLife Stadium on a game day will cost you
Speaker 2: right around twelve dollars and ninety cents, But according to
Speaker 2: a report from the New York Times, that same ticket
Speaker 2: will cost you one hundred dollars during.
Speaker 1: The World Cup.
Speaker 2: This statement right here from NJ Transit this afternoon, telling
Speaker 2: us the ticket prices for match stage travel have not
Speaker 2: been finalized, however, as the Governor has clearly stated the
Speaker 2: costs for the eight matches will not be will not
Speaker 2: be borne by our regular commuters. We can't confirm that
Speaker 2: the overall cost of the agency is approximately forty eight
Speaker 2: million dollars for the eight matches.
Speaker 1: Wow, eight eight World Cup games. And it's forty eight
Speaker 1: million dollars for them to hold these eight World Cup games.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll bring a lot of people into town.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it will. But now they're even saying it's
Speaker 1: going to go a step further and they're not going
Speaker 1: to allow anybody who does doesn't have a ticket to
Speaker 1: a World Cup game to even ride the train to
Speaker 1: begin with. What if you're just trying to get to
Speaker 1: work too bad when the World Cup is on, You're screwed.
Speaker 1: You just have to you got to go another way.
Speaker 1: I got Uber all the way to Jersey. Let us
Speaker 1: know what you think about this. It sounds like it's
Speaker 1: spiraling out of control ahead of the World Cup. I
Speaker 1: want to hear what you think. Send a dispatch over
Speaker 1: at thenewsjunkie dot com. All right, quick note, you'll see
Speaker 1: some changes eking into the show starting next week. We'll
Speaker 1: talk more about what those changes are and what's going
Speaker 1: to happen and some different things that are going to
Speaker 1: be moved around. I'm excited about these changes. Is the
Speaker 1: only good thing that's happened in the last week or so.
Speaker 1: But people freak out whenever anything changes. I think it's
Speaker 1: all gonna be good stuff. You guys will have your
Speaker 1: saying it, but I'm just letting you know now, all right,
Speaker 1: next week on the show, expect some changes. There'll be
Speaker 1: some things that are different around here as of next week,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to put that on your radar
Speaker 1: right here in the dead center of the show. When
Speaker 1: we come back, We're gonna do this week in Florida
Speaker 1: with Christopher Dolores Lane himself, the man, the myth, the legend.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with that because that's coming up
Speaker 1: next in the News Junkie. Wherever we go the podcast
Speaker 1: shall be, so make sure you subscribe for free over
Speaker 1: at thenewsjunkie dot com. This week in Florida. In just
Speaker 1: a moment here on the show, see Lane appears to
Speaker 1: be ready. I am. I never know. He's like flipping
Speaker 1: through papers over there.
Speaker 3: So I'm asking my stories in an order that would
Speaker 3: be both compelling and make a little bit of sense
Speaker 3: put together some things that are related.
Speaker 1: You know, is there an algorithm to this for this
Speaker 1: Week in Florida.
Speaker 3: It's a very loose algorithm. It's in my head. I
Speaker 3: don't even understand it, but it makes sense to somebody.
Speaker 1: You bought the whole seat, you only need the edge.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's do this Week in Florida's giving
Speaker 1: you a recap of the most grown worthy stories in
Speaker 1: the States. It's this Week in Florida. That's right, the
Speaker 1: weekend is here.
Speaker 3: It's time to take a trip around the Sunshine State
Speaker 3: see some of the craziness that has gone on in
Speaker 3: the past seven days or so, the seven days that
Speaker 3: started four months ago. It's this Week in Florida, and
Speaker 3: we start at Florida's beloved grocery store, Publics. Where we
Speaker 3: started Publics. We're going to Publics because not only a.
Speaker 1: Song for publics instead of back in the back on a.
Speaker 3: Plane, stop trying to get rid of my plane song.
Speaker 3: It's a brilliant song. But publics, as we learned earlier
Speaker 3: Tom Holland that tried out their pub subs while pitching
Speaker 3: your sort kind of hocking his his non alcoholic beer.
Speaker 3: But there's another public's offering that has been off the
Speaker 3: shelves for a couple of years now that people want back,
Speaker 3: and they've taken to the internet, to the place that
Speaker 3: you go on the internet when you want to get
Speaker 3: things done, and that has changed dot org because there
Speaker 3: is a position and there are thousands that are demanding
Speaker 3: publics bring back the hurricane cakes. Flordas less than two
Speaker 3: weeks away from hurricane season. For many, that means it's
Speaker 3: almost time for cakes. Hurricane cakes to be specific from
Speaker 3: click Orlando. The longtime stable of Public's grocery stores went
Speaker 3: away in the year twenty twenty two after Hurricane Ian,
Speaker 3: Public saying it is our company policy not to produce
Speaker 3: bakery cakes that would make light of a natural disaster.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So this was another one of those
Speaker 1: things in twenty twenty one. In twenty twenty two, they
Speaker 1: got swept up and all the craziness and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, they made hurricane cakes seem like they were controversy.
Speaker 1: When if you just sat in a public and talked
Speaker 1: to every single customer and said, do you have a
Speaker 1: problem with this, none of them would say that is
Speaker 1: a problem. They would care, you know.
Speaker 3: They didn't want to downplay natural disasters. They didn't want
Speaker 3: to make light of hurricanes, even though plenty of Floridians
Speaker 3: spend the hurricane.
Speaker 1: Making light of it. Have you ever had one or
Speaker 1: no a hurricane party, a hurricane cake? I have not.
Speaker 1: I don't really eat cake. I love cake, but.
Speaker 3: Last time I had a cake with I like ice
Speaker 3: cream cake, but I don't think that was with the hurricane.
Speaker 3: Then the hurricane cakes they had a fun little hurricane
Speaker 3: design on them.
Speaker 1: They said, go away.
Speaker 3: You know you're getting the cake to sort of encourage
Speaker 3: the hurricane to back off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's one I'm still looking at. It's like I's
Speaker 1: got a hurricane spinning on it, and they says go away.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, he says. Often features pineapple, coconut and pecans
Speaker 1: baked with yellow or chocolate cake mix, and people swear
Speaker 1: by him, like.
Speaker 3: You lost me at the coconine. Don't like eating coconut stuff.
Speaker 3: But hurricanean made landfall in Florida September twenty twenty two
Speaker 3: is a Category four storm, causing hundreds of millions of
Speaker 3: dollars worth of damage and resulting in the deaths of
Speaker 3: over one hundred people. And after that public said, hey,
Speaker 3: maybe we shouldn't make these cakes, but there are a
Speaker 3: large number of people who would beg to differ. In fact,
Speaker 3: forty one thousand, two hundred and sixteen verified signatures are
Speaker 3: on this change dot org petition that says, once upon
Speaker 3: a time, publics gave us something magical hurricane cakes.
Speaker 1: Not just delicious.
Speaker 3: These cakes were edible, morale boosters, a winka laugh, and
Speaker 3: a little comfort as we stocked up on bottled water
Speaker 3: and batteries and lots of alcohol.
Speaker 1: Yeah, reasons, I might as well say we can't have
Speaker 1: that right, No, not to let us celebrate the hurricane.
Speaker 3: We're calling on publics to bring back the hurricane cake
Speaker 3: for the joy, the tradition, and the morale of the
Speaker 3: communities in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Speaker 3: and Virginia. Let's make hurricane season just a little bit
Speaker 3: sweet again. Over forty thousand signatures on the petition to
Speaker 3: return the hurricane cake.
Speaker 1: I say, what's it hurting? You know?
Speaker 3: What is even somebody who probably would had a lot
Speaker 3: of property damage because of a hurricane. I don't think
Speaker 3: walks by the table of hurricane cakes and get super triggered.
Speaker 1: Now I don't think so. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I think yet again, it's another one of these things
Speaker 1: that I could say, I could bring together people on
Speaker 1: the left and on the right, and I could go,
Speaker 1: this is a hurricane cake. It's a tradition. Do you
Speaker 1: have any problem with this? And nobody would be upset.
Speaker 1: But for a couple of years there we let people
Speaker 1: on social media outlets direct what we could buy and
Speaker 1: what we couldn't buy, and what companies were called, and stuff.
Speaker 3: Goes back down to the very simple idea of voting
Speaker 3: with your wallet. If you don't like it, buy it exactly.
Speaker 3: Plenty of people don't. I don't buy it because I
Speaker 3: don't like cakes, or.
Speaker 1: Personally, I'm gonna get a fudge of the whale instead.
Speaker 1: That's just me, that's just the decision that I'm enjoy
Speaker 1: your fudgie down in Miami Dade County.
Speaker 3: The one of the stars of Real Housewives in Miami,
Speaker 3: which I don't think I've seen an episode of Real
Speaker 3: Housewives of anything like. That's just one television franchise I
Speaker 3: am completely disconnected from. I've seen people from Real Housewives
Speaker 3: appear in other things like Traders or other reality shows
Speaker 3: where they tend to, you know, dip in the pool
Speaker 3: of all these different franchises. But I don't know much
Speaker 3: about the Real Housewives in Miami, but this story out
Speaker 3: of Miami is kind of nuts.
Speaker 1: This lady, Lisa Hochstein. Hochstein.
Speaker 3: She was released on bond Wednesday after turning herself into
Speaker 3: authorities following allegations she secretly recorded her celebrity plastic surgeon
Speaker 3: ex husband during their contentious divorce proceedings. Now, there are
Speaker 3: some things that could have been avoided here by the
Speaker 3: ex husband. I don't know if he's just trying to
Speaker 3: have things amicable, even though it definitely says contentious divorce proceedings,
Speaker 3: all right, But they say she was greeted outside the
Speaker 3: jail by friends and two of her Real Housewives castmates
Speaker 3: as she left, saying, I just love them all. I
Speaker 3: love my fans. She sent them well wishes, but she
Speaker 3: didn't comment directly on the allegations.
Speaker 1: What are the allegations, you ask, what are the allegations?
Speaker 3: On March nineteenth, court filing states that Hochstein and her
Speaker 3: ex boyfriend Jody Glidden are each facing one count of
Speaker 3: interception of wire oral or electronic communications. They say that
Speaker 3: Lisa Hochstein asked her ex husband if she could borrow
Speaker 3: his silver twenty twenty three Mercedes Mayboch GLS six hundred
Speaker 3: SUV because she was thinking of purchasing her own.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: When she borrowed the car, her and her boyfriend at
Speaker 3: the time placed a listening device a recording device in
Speaker 3: the driver's seat floorboard so she could see what this
Speaker 3: guy's been talking about, who's been talking to According to
Speaker 3: the warrant, a total of ninety eight recordings were recover
Speaker 3: from the device, including a conversation between Lisa Hochstein and
Speaker 3: her ex boyfriend Jody Glidden as the device was being
Speaker 3: wrestled into place, in addition to conversations between Lenny Hokestein
Speaker 3: and others he spoke to while in his vehicle. A
Speaker 3: detective recovered deleted recordings from the advice, including a recording
Speaker 3: of Lisa Hochstein and her boyfriend at the time, Jody Glinten,
Speaker 3: engaged in intimate activities in the car. Not only did
Speaker 3: she borrow her ex husband's car, she screwed her boyfriend
Speaker 3: in it. After turning on the recorder that they placed
Speaker 3: under the floorboard to spy on this guy.
Speaker 1: Wow, and their divorce was finalized. These two did not
Speaker 1: end well.
Speaker 3: It seems I'm getting a lot of crazy, lot of
Speaker 3: red flags for this woman, but I'm sure that's just
Speaker 3: one of the things that makes her a perfect specimen
Speaker 3: for the Real Housewives of Miami. Elsewhere in Florida, they
Speaker 3: are just making it rain jail sentences, prison sentences, and
Speaker 3: for good reasons. Disturbing videos they say have landed the
Speaker 3: Central Florida man in prison for over two hundred years.
Speaker 3: A Lake County man has been sentenced to that time
Speaker 3: in prison after being caught in an undercover sting operation
Speaker 3: nearly three years ago. In a release on Wednesday, officials
Speaker 3: said the man identified as John Marshluski was convicted on
Speaker 3: fifteen counts of possessing child pornography. Case stems back to
Speaker 3: May of twenty three, when the five day sting ended
Speaker 3: with him and several other men being taken into custody
Speaker 3: of the disturbing videos. This is State Attorney Bill Gladson speaking.
Speaker 3: The defendant possessed of very young children being abused. One
Speaker 3: was less than two years old, just a toddler. The
Speaker 3: mere thought of someone abusing a toddler or any child
Speaker 3: is sickening and that's why he gets two hundred years
Speaker 3: yep in prison.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an under the prison type of guy for me.
Speaker 1: And I won't say much about this, but there is
Speaker 1: a very vile story this week about a FEDEC the
Speaker 1: one you tweeted about. You read that? Did you read
Speaker 1: that tweet? Yes? Oh my god? Oh? Like just so
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not for the death penalty personally. I
Speaker 1: think people should get life in prison. I don't want
Speaker 1: the state to make the mistake, even one time, of
Speaker 1: accidentally executing an innocent person. And I think there is
Speaker 1: the possibility that not only has happened, but does happen.
Speaker 1: And that aside the person who did this in that
Speaker 1: FedEx case and the person you just mentioned, don't care
Speaker 1: what happens to him. No, don't care what happens to
Speaker 1: the vile scum of the earth, disgusting, subhuman individuals that
Speaker 1: do these things. I say, let the parents of the
Speaker 1: victims rip them limb from limb and it's not going
Speaker 1: to make me shed a tear.
Speaker 3: Let them choose, let them be creative in how they
Speaker 3: dispatch with this particular man also getting a lot of
Speaker 3: time in prison. The leader of the Blood affiliated sex
Speaker 3: money murder gang, which is a gang I was previously
Speaker 3: unaware of, has received I have life sentences after his
Speaker 3: capture earlier this year and a release. State officials say
Speaker 3: the man identified as Hernando Thompson Junior, thirty six, of Orlando.
Speaker 3: He was convicted after a Polk County trial back in
Speaker 3: January due to his leadership role in the gang. Jury
Speaker 3: deliberated for only an hour in a case that found
Speaker 3: him guilty of racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, and three
Speaker 3: counts of directing criminal gang activities. Had never heard of
Speaker 3: that charge before. Directing criminal gang activities is landing this
Speaker 3: man with five life sentences.
Speaker 1: It's weird that just.
Speaker 3: Like that list of things, probably some awfulness in there,
Speaker 3: as gang activity tends to be, but just on paper,
Speaker 3: doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as the two hundred
Speaker 3: counts for the two hundred years for the man with
Speaker 3: all the child born.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you were growing up.
Speaker 3: Were you you much of a car person as a kid?
Speaker 1: Not really?
Speaker 3: No, Do you have friends that were like I have
Speaker 3: my dream car mapped out this year, must with this
Speaker 3: trim and this color and everything.
Speaker 1: Oh coy my friend's down the street would take their
Speaker 1: own engines apart and they would do all of that stuff.
Speaker 3: I read this next story and immediately reminded me of
Speaker 3: my friend Donnie in high school because his dream car
Speaker 3: was a Supra. Like he loved the Supra. I don't
Speaker 3: even know who makes the Super is that to make
Speaker 3: Toyota Toyota? Okay, Toyota Super?
Speaker 1: He bought one.
Speaker 3: He was fixing it up for the longest time. I
Speaker 3: don't know how much he actually drove it, but he
Speaker 3: loved that Toyota Supra. And a woman who's been pulled
Speaker 3: over and arrested under the new super speeder law. It
Speaker 3: says she was drunk here too, but she was going
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty three miles an hour in her
Speaker 3: Supra and she told police she thought she could because
Speaker 3: of the Supra she was driving. Sierra Lopez blew a
Speaker 3: point two to three, almost three times the legal limit,
Speaker 3: which she was pulled over in Benita Springs Lee County
Speaker 3: Sheriff's Office. Body camera footage shows a deputy ordering her
Speaker 3: to turn the car off off and get out of
Speaker 3: the car, which she said belonged to the male passenger.
Speaker 3: When she was asked why she was speeding, Lopez blamed
Speaker 3: it on the car, saying, quote, honestly, it's just because
Speaker 3: he has a Supra, and then I thought it was
Speaker 3: all right to go fast and everything end quote. A
Speaker 3: deputy responded, I'm aware, but unfortunately turn around for me.
Speaker 3: She was booked into jail on the speeding charge, and
Speaker 3: I'm guessing at DUI. It doesn't say much about the
Speaker 3: DUI part, but they definitely got her on that new
Speaker 3: excessive speeding law just because she thought she could because
Speaker 3: of the car.
Speaker 1: A Southwire woman.
Speaker 3: Is facing a stack of felony charges after investigator say
Speaker 3: she helped pull off one of the more brazen auto
Speaker 3: loan fraud schemes in recent Miami memory. Thirty eight year
Speaker 3: old Dunia or Dunnia Sierra walked into multiple car dealerships
Speaker 3: over eight days, lied about her income, and drove away
Speaker 3: with a small fleet of vehicles, including a Corvette Stingray,
Speaker 3: a BMW I eight, and three Harley Davidson motorcycles. Man
Speaker 3: she did not want to slum it. She went for
Speaker 3: the high dollar items. Let's see a woman for tips
Speaker 3: at seven eleven gets arrested instead of paid. That was
Speaker 3: Veronica Erico Whitsett.
Speaker 1: He said, twerks for tips, just just go. Want to
Speaker 1: reiterate with what he said.
Speaker 3: There, That's exactly what I said, works for tips, Yes,
Speaker 3: here we go, officer said the Witsett was pressing her
Speaker 3: buttocks against the store counter and doing a shaking motion
Speaker 3: before extending her hands toward the responding deputy and asking
Speaker 3: for money. Apparently she was also soliciting customers for cash
Speaker 3: and drugs.
Speaker 1: She was arrested at the.
Speaker 3: Seven eleven fort Walton Beach. A woman has been arrested
Speaker 3: after falling off her bike. A toddler went to see
Speaker 3: if she was okay. She threw beer bottles at the
Speaker 3: toddler and the doctor. I think we talked about this
Speaker 3: guy a while back.
Speaker 1: The doctor what, it's just the act of going after
Speaker 1: the toddler is all right.
Speaker 3: The doctor that we talked about, he's been charged in
Speaker 3: the twenty four death of a patient. I think we
Speaker 3: talked about this guy when it happened, but he's been
Speaker 3: indicted for second degree manslaughter almost two years after the
Speaker 3: death of William Bryan, his patient, a seventy year old
Speaker 3: veteran who died on the operating table because it was
Speaker 3: scheduled to be a laparoscopic splenectomy, but the doctor removed
Speaker 3: his liver instead of his spleen, which you kind of
Speaker 3: need to survive. That doctor will be facing the second
Speaker 3: degree manslaughter charges. And last not Lea's in this Week
Speaker 3: in Florida, Well, a sixteen year old boy is facing
Speaker 3: attempted manslaughter and possession of a firearm after a fifteen
Speaker 3: year old was shot in the chest and rushed to
Speaker 3: the hospital during what they described as play fighting, just
Speaker 3: a little bit of play fighting. The victim attempted to
Speaker 3: push the gun away, gun discharged, and now a sixteen
Speaker 3: year old boy is in for some serious trouble. That's
Speaker 3: it friends for this week in Florida. Thank you Sea
Speaker 3: Lane Boy.
Speaker 1: We have a lot to get to before the end
Speaker 1: of the show, including this cruise lawyer that got his
Speaker 1: client three hundred thousand dollars when she had fifteen shots
Speaker 1: at tequila. The argument of her personal responsibility or is
Speaker 1: the cruise ship to blame. I want to see if
Speaker 1: there's something about that story we were missing, you know
Speaker 1: what was it, and we'll get into that in the
Speaker 1: power hour of the show. And we got a lot
Speaker 1: more to take care of before that. We'll do a
Speaker 1: round of feedback when we come back. And a huge change.
Speaker 1: This is a big, big change for a huge company
Speaker 1: that we've all heard of. But I was surprised that
Speaker 1: they made this move. And I'll tell you what's going
Speaker 1: on that's coming up next on the news junk Kie.
Speaker 1: The doctors are out of control. The gas prices and
Speaker 1: stock market stuff is out of control. We're all over
Speaker 1: the place right now. Baby, it's getting wild out there.
Speaker 1: And I saw, I mean, the doubt almost got to
Speaker 1: the fifty thousand mark again. We were there and then
Speaker 1: Pambondi did the thing, and then we were definitely not
Speaker 1: there for a while. But it looks like some people
Speaker 1: think this whole Iran war might be a rap before
Speaker 1: you know it, and it looks nice and green going
Speaker 1: into the weekend. The weekend brings us good tidings with
Speaker 1: the markets going up all like a thousand points on
Speaker 1: Friday and really really good turn there. Honestly, if we
Speaker 1: could get out of the deserts and get out of
Speaker 1: any kind of wasting American taxpayer dollars on extended wars
Speaker 1: anywhere like we have wanted to do in our nation's past.
Speaker 1: I'm all for it, baby. Let's bring our money back
Speaker 1: to the United States of America. Let's see that gas
Speaker 1: go down, you know what I mean. Let's bring our
Speaker 1: children home. Let's see those stocks go up and the
Speaker 1: gas go down. That's what I want to see out
Speaker 1: there on a week like this. But that is one
Speaker 1: of the things grabbing people's attention. The other one was
Speaker 1: what happens in the world of doctors and people helping
Speaker 1: other folks look a little bit better? And sometimes I
Speaker 1: see a headline like this and I go, are you serious?
Speaker 1: It's my theory, and this might not be one of
Speaker 1: my better theories. I have some excellent ones. By the way,
Speaker 1: you also have some dog yeah, name one. What's the
Speaker 1: dog ass theory that I asked? It's so bad, I
Speaker 1: can't say it. I have so many theories, folks, he's
Speaker 1: downgrading them. But for instance, my theory on why celebrities
Speaker 1: like Leonardo DiCaprio only want to date women who are
Speaker 1: twenty five or younger is that you never really feel
Speaker 1: a certain age. You know, you don't age like you
Speaker 1: think you will, so you feel the way you're represented
Speaker 1: with people around you. So if you hang out with
Speaker 1: older people all the time, you feel older. You see
Speaker 1: their faces you don't see yours all the time. You
Speaker 1: see all your old friends' faces, and you're like, yep,
Speaker 1: i'm old now I'm grey. I'm old like that, And
Speaker 1: if you date twenty five year olds, you're looking at
Speaker 1: twenty five year old the whole time. That's what the
Speaker 1: desire is. That's a theory, and it's a pretty good one.
Speaker 1: My theory on this world is that I think there's
Speaker 1: going to be a whole bunch of women in probably
Speaker 1: ten years or so who still have these big, giant asses,
Speaker 1: who are like what do I do with this? What
Speaker 1: I knew immediately, I'm like, these women are getting work
Speaker 1: done on their ass ends and something you sit on.
Speaker 1: It's just a very awkward place to get some work done.
Speaker 1: And it became so ever present. I was like, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of women walking around with this
Speaker 1: that want to reverse this, just like we had a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of women who went in the nineties and
Speaker 1: got very large breasts. Then afterwards they decided, H don't
Speaker 1: want those no more. I want to change those out.
Speaker 1: I want to swap them out. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's coming back now. But I know, without a doubt
Speaker 1: it was a it was a big deal to go
Speaker 1: get that surgery done, and now it's starting to get
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit dated. When you have that kind
Speaker 1: of work, this will do the same thing. I can't
Speaker 1: believe that anybody's doing this to begin with, but the
Speaker 1: story from Fox ten says rib remodeling is taking hold,
Speaker 1: the elastic surgery trend that is taking off. It's like
Speaker 1: it's a part.
Speaker 3: Of the body that I don't know that I've ever
Speaker 3: looked at a woman and go gone like, oh man,
Speaker 3: she has got terrific ribs.
Speaker 1: Who look at them? Look at them ribs. Not me either,
Speaker 1: I'm with you. But this, I guess, is something that
Speaker 1: people are taking to do and I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're taking out ribs. Let's learn something here. Let's see
Speaker 1: what they say in the story. Marilyn. Yeah, Fox ten
Speaker 1: did a story about this and this is becoming more
Speaker 1: and more popular at the moment, and they went out
Speaker 1: there to talk about people getting the rib work done.
Speaker 1: Rib remodeling is what they call.
Speaker 3: The plastic surgeon is one of the first to offer
Speaker 3: a new procedure called rib remodeling.
Speaker 5: A lot of reactions.
Speaker 11: I talked with a valley woman who says that she
Speaker 11: loves how she looks now, but plenty of others say
Speaker 11: this seems like a step too far. Yeah, I say
Speaker 11: so before and after. Results speak for themselves.
Speaker 12: I feel completely normal, completely fine.
Speaker 1: It's just uh my waist is just why it blurred
Speaker 1: her entire body, not just her head. This is for
Speaker 1: those of you who watching on YouTube and twitch thinking
Speaker 1: about so happy with the procedure I got. I feel
Speaker 1: totally normal. Everything is fine. Little got the rib remodeling.
Speaker 1: Look at show this against you, le, She's completely blurred out.
Speaker 1: You can't see anything. Well, why are you doing this?
Speaker 1: You're not proud of the work.
Speaker 5: She doesn't want to show her face or give her name.
Speaker 5: We'll wine a minute.
Speaker 13: You're basically scoring it until you get through that cortex.
Speaker 11: Doctor Orrin Tesler at Defined Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale described
Speaker 11: a new type of procedure he performed on her.
Speaker 5: It's called rib remodeling.
Speaker 11: Why a surgery trend that changes the shape of the
Speaker 11: ribs to create an hour glass waste.
Speaker 13: Sometimes just a little deflection, you can get two to
Speaker 13: five inches of narrowing of the waist.
Speaker 11: It starts with a small needle that leaves nos false.
Speaker 1: They said, a small needle, and they've brought out something
Speaker 1: that looks like it's from medieval times. This thing looks
Speaker 1: like it would go through your entire body in one
Speaker 1: fell swoop. Here, what are we doing now? We're taking
Speaker 1: out of ribbed ladies. Selane is right about this, and ladies,
Speaker 1: I want to hear from you. You're going to the
Speaker 1: front of the line. I want to know if any
Speaker 1: of you actually want to do this. Tracy says, this
Speaker 1: is so dumb. I agree, Tracy, but I hope, I
Speaker 1: hope women are gonna up with you and say, like,
Speaker 1: why are you doing this? This is unhinged that people
Speaker 1: would would do this to begin with. I don't want
Speaker 1: any woman doing this. I've never heard of a guy
Speaker 1: in my life who's gone, you know what, I really
Speaker 1: like a woman with a real nice rib cage. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, you know.
Speaker 3: Like, so some of the things that are most often
Speaker 3: enhanced are like the things you search for in porno,
Speaker 3: you know, like if you're if you're if you're going
Speaker 3: for your categories, you're if you're a you're a teas man,
Speaker 3: you're a teaser. If you're a butt man, you're a
Speaker 3: butt man. I don't think you're looking for like a
Speaker 3: girl with extra hour glassy ribs. Yeah does xxx?
Speaker 1: That is very strange And maybe ladies and some of
Speaker 1: you are like, yes, absolutely, I've been waiting for this.
Speaker 1: This is what I've been waiting for. I'm invisible now
Speaker 1: after having five of these rib remodeling searchery. Congratulations for you,
Speaker 1: there's Cheryl says, this is why, no, thank you. There
Speaker 1: must be somebody lining up those Cheryl like, who who
Speaker 1: is doing this? Time? Face? The blurred lady doesn't want
Speaker 1: to say it on the record, for God.
Speaker 13: Says, high frequency vibrations in order to be able to
Speaker 13: score that bone until there's enough ability to manually deflect it.
Speaker 11: After the ribs are moved, the patient waits, where's a corset?
Speaker 11: For at least two months while the ribs heal in
Speaker 11: their new position.
Speaker 1: Oh great, So you get this surgery done where they
Speaker 1: do an experimental procedure to reshape your ribs, and then
Speaker 1: you wear a corset for how long did he say?
Speaker 1: Two months or something? For two months you wear a corset,
Speaker 1: which is not good to wear to begin with. Ladies,
Speaker 1: to the front of the line. I need to hear
Speaker 1: from you now, tips at thenewsjunkie dot com. So we're
Speaker 1: send a dispatch over at thenewschunkie dot com. That's insane,
Speaker 1: That's that's wild to me. I don't know who gets
Speaker 1: this stuff done. It can't be cheap either. No oh,
Speaker 1: any sort of assistance, no, no, no, no, I wouldn't. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't want them to. For God's saying. Somebody says we're
Speaker 1: thirst with human meat. I can't believe you wouldn't do this.
Speaker 1: You've never looked at a woman's ribs and thought that
Speaker 1: was good? No, I haven't. No, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: a whole different conversation.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: I think I'm like most guys inasmuch as you look
Speaker 1: at a woman and you go as this woman a
Speaker 1: beautiful woman or not, And then I think I feel
Speaker 1: like women are driven by other women in the fashion
Speaker 1: industry to do things a lot of times that most
Speaker 1: guys I've talked to in my life. Ladies, I'll just
Speaker 1: tell you have never talked about like I've never sat
Speaker 1: down with a group of guys and then gone, well,
Speaker 1: that girl's attractive, but her eyelashes aren't fourteen inches long,
Speaker 1: so or her nails aren't four inches long and shaped
Speaker 1: like spikes. I'm never heard any guy say anything about
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's always it's always the thing that's out there,
Speaker 1: But I've never heard anybody asking for it. Let me
Speaker 1: see what else. Maybe you're just not talking to the
Speaker 1: right guys. That might be true. My interest's in the
Speaker 1: ear from them too well.
Speaker 5: The ribs heal in their new position.
Speaker 13: You're not reducing their ability to protect you. You're not
Speaker 13: affecting your ability to breathe. It doesn't it doesn't hurt
Speaker 13: anyone long term.
Speaker 11: Our patient says, the recovery is serious.
Speaker 12: It's painful, and of course I feel this is a
Speaker 12: procedure for someone that is really one hundred percent, like
Speaker 12: so focused on the outcome and what they're going to
Speaker 12: look like that they're just gonna just suck it up.
Speaker 5: But just a few months later, she says she's fully recovering.
Speaker 1: All right, I have to be honest with you. I
Speaker 1: am not exaggerating here. But they're showing what she looked
Speaker 1: like before and after, and I'll put this, I'll get
Speaker 1: a screenshot of the before and after right of this
Speaker 1: rib process. That's the new thing that women are going
Speaker 1: in to get done. I gotta screenshot of the before
Speaker 1: and after. I can't even tell the difference.
Speaker 3: I can tell the difference, but it's not that drastic
Speaker 3: and it looks like I mean, I don't know that
Speaker 3: you could have done this by just losing a little weight,
Speaker 3: But it doesn't look like it's worth the money.
Speaker 1: Like if I was with person A before the RIB process,
Speaker 1: I would go, you look fantastic, you look great. And
Speaker 1: then if person B walked in, I'd go, you guys
Speaker 1: have the same exact body. I don't. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't see a difference. Maybe you I'll put this up.
Speaker 1: I'll get the link ready here over on see it now,
Speaker 1: take a look and tell us maybe you're all for this.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be up on the Neewsjunkie dot com and
Speaker 1: you see it now section whenever there's a visual on
Speaker 1: this show. Since you're just kind of hanging out with us, listen,
Speaker 1: most of you, I want you to be able to
Speaker 1: see it. So rib remodeling before. There's a an after.
Speaker 3: Article in USA Today about the procedure, and they show
Speaker 3: this woman, uh, woman Jessica Lasher, a woman in Canada,
Speaker 3: had the procedure done about a year ago. Before she
Speaker 3: tried wearing corsets to achieve the look she wanted. Naturally,
Speaker 3: she saw a riber modeling as a lasting solution. Imagine
Speaker 3: her surprised when she got the ribber modeling and they're like,
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to wear some corsets for a little bit,
Speaker 3: a couple more months, for two months.
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine wearing a corset for two months. My god.
Speaker 3: The first four weeks of recovery for her were tough.
Speaker 3: It says it felt like having the wind knocked out
Speaker 3: of you.
Speaker 1: Jesus our quick break. When we come back, we'll see
Speaker 1: what you have to say about all of this. We
Speaker 1: got jury duty on the way, and then we roll

Speaker 1: going on here. A couple of people were chiming in.
Speaker 1: I had a weird thing where I was talking during
Speaker 1: the break about about something to do with parking, and
Speaker 1: I realized, I have no idea what the name is
Speaker 1: for the thing. I call the whole area the parking spot,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like the lines, the whole area.
Speaker 1: But I said, what, what's the part that you're like
Speaker 1: resting your wheels on the in the bumper? I see it.
Speaker 1: I've never heard bumper. Some people did say bumper. There
Speaker 1: was a whole bunch of theories on this. Here's one,
Speaker 1: Here's daddy two times.
Speaker 14: So Sean, you asked what the curves in a parking
Speaker 14: spot are, and those are called parking blocks in the chat.
Speaker 11: In my head, as soon as you asked the question,
Speaker 11: I thought it was funny and said it's called a RoadHead.
Speaker 1: Giggity parking spot. Chat blocked it. I did not chot
Speaker 1: that locked it? Where has check? What has happened to Chat?
Speaker 1: I don't go in there a whole lot, but what
Speaker 1: the f happened?
Speaker 5: I remember you used to have to show pain to
Speaker 5: even enter it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that didn't happen. Now things have a peak. Now
Speaker 1: the chat is a safe place to be for everybody.
Speaker 1: It's fun, it's a blast. I wouldn't say it's a
Speaker 1: safe space by it. He stretched the imagination. But it's
Speaker 1: awesome and I think you'll enjoy it. I would say
Speaker 1: it's a safe space if lawyers are listening.
Speaker 3: The concrete bar in a parking spot is primarily called
Speaker 3: a wheel stop or parking block a wheel stop. They're
Speaker 3: also frequently referred to as parking curbs, bumper blocks, or
Speaker 3: tire stops.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm calling it any of those things.
Speaker 1: I thought it either yeah and not at all? Right,
Speaker 1: here's insecure waters with a dispatch.
Speaker 14: The absolute worst story of having to go in a
Speaker 14: terrible position place time that I've ever heard was something
Speaker 14: I read on Reddit about a guy who was stuck
Speaker 14: on like a corporate charter jet, seated like twelve people
Speaker 14: or less.
Speaker 1: He was there with a bunch of competitors. They were
Speaker 1: all trying to.
Speaker 14: Sell to this lady that was the CEO of a company,
Speaker 14: and he had a terrible gastric event. And the only
Speaker 14: bathroom on that little private plane was one of the seats.
Speaker 14: Oo seat cover comes off of it, and there is
Speaker 14: a toilet underneath it, and there's a little shower curtain
Speaker 14: that you pull up from the floor so that while
Speaker 14: you're doing your business, everybody can see you from the nose.
Speaker 14: I don't know if that was a true story, stuck
Speaker 14: in my brain ever since I read it.
Speaker 1: About the worst worst case scenario, that's bad emergency. Yeah
Speaker 1: that I'm not gonna lie. I don't know if i'd
Speaker 1: be able to do that. You can't just pull over
Speaker 1: a plane, you know, No, you can't. When you say
Speaker 1: a plane and you're like it's a six seater plane,
Speaker 1: I just imagine that it's got a little bathroom since
Speaker 1: you're in a private plane like that.
Speaker 3: Okay, think about both times we've flown in the Bahamas.
Speaker 3: Were there bathrooms on those planes?
Speaker 1: There? Not only was there no bathroom, I don't even
Speaker 1: think there was what this guy just described.
Speaker 3: Or maybe there was and they didn't tell us because
Speaker 3: they were like, we don't want anybody using this then.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like when you're on an RV and the
Speaker 1: RV owners go, uh no, you can pee, yeah, but
Speaker 1: you no number two on the RV. They're thinking, no
Speaker 1: number two on the plane. Please. These are only short flights.
Speaker 1: You're going to get to your destination. Everything is going
Speaker 1: to be absolutely fine for you. The tips Atthews Jukie
Speaker 1: dot com. An Anonymous emails this show. Anonymous is talking
Speaker 1: about this bizarre story where there was an investigation on
Speaker 1: a Catholic church in North Carolina. The Catholic church investigated
Speaker 1: itself and found that they surprised, didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 1: But there were some teenage girls who said the pastor
Speaker 1: who was taking their confessions was asking them leading sexual questions.
Speaker 1: That led me to say, wait, hold on, if you're
Speaker 1: doing these kind of confessions, do they usually interview you
Speaker 1: and ask you questions like, hey, have you been having sex?
Speaker 1: Have you been masturbating? That's what happened allegedly the court
Speaker 1: of these teenage girls. Anonymous says, good afternoon. I grew
Speaker 1: up Catholic. My experience is from this sixth sixties and seventies.
Speaker 1: You would go into the confession booth and the priest
Speaker 1: was on the other side of the divider. You would
Speaker 1: start off by saying, bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
Speaker 1: These are my sins. The priest listened and then gave
Speaker 1: you your penance. No questions were asked at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was it's blessed me, father, for I have sinned.
Speaker 3: And you're also supposed to say it's been this long
Speaker 3: since my last confession.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but nothing. No one has ever said, hey, I
Speaker 1: had questions asked to me. Hey, they asked me if
Speaker 1: I was engaging in sex and if I was doing that.
Speaker 1: Nobody who has responded on that so far has said
Speaker 1: that that was a circumstance for him. Mike emails about
Speaker 1: the FIFA drama. If you miss that, I guess the
Speaker 1: train rides to New Jersey are going to cost as
Speaker 1: much as one hundred and fifty dollars around the World Cup.
Speaker 1: When it comes to the United States, tickets are going
Speaker 1: for insane amounts of money, and a lot of the
Speaker 1: cities that are involved in this are saying it's too
Speaker 1: expensive all of it. Mike says, no surprise with this garbage.
Speaker 1: FIFA is one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet.
Speaker 1: Google some of their history. They, like a lot of
Speaker 1: big sports groups, get everything handed to them by the
Speaker 1: host city and nothing in return other than increase foot
Speaker 1: traffic and spending is given back. I know millions of
Speaker 1: incomes are involved, but the way they get too many
Speaker 1: concessions bothers me. It's much like the Olympics. If you
Speaker 1: don't even have to say the Olympics, Mike, is much
Speaker 1: like the NFL. Friend, Yeah, everybody bends over backwards and
Speaker 1: you go, did we really get enough out of this
Speaker 1: after all? Let us know what you think. Send a
Speaker 1: dispatcher at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 3: The weird part about this FIFA story reading on nbcnews
Speaker 3: dot com and they're saying, who's to blame for these
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars train tickets? The governor of New Jersey
Speaker 3: is pointing the finger at FIFA, and FIFA is saying
Speaker 3: look at New Jersey. But I don't think FIFA has
Speaker 3: the power to raise the train tickets. I think that's
Speaker 3: more of a public works or public services thing the
Speaker 3: New Jersey Transit Authority. Perhaps, I think FIFA's right here
Speaker 3: to say, look at the governor of New Jersey.
Speaker 1: I think one of the problems Sea Lane, from what
Speaker 1: I could tell, is this not for me. This is
Speaker 1: not for me. This is from people who have been
Speaker 1: sending in feedback who are sports nuts, who know what
Speaker 1: they're talking about. One of the problems from what I
Speaker 1: could see is that the deals for this stuff with
Speaker 1: the FIFA, with the World Cup Games, the deal was
Speaker 1: made eight years ago. So all the politicians that made
Speaker 1: that deal are gone. They're gone, they're not in office anymore.
Speaker 1: And now new people are in office and they have
Speaker 1: to deal with the arrangements that were made eight years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Abraham says over on TJ. Chad. Again, these contracts were
Speaker 1: signed in twenty eighteen. That was a different governor. So
Speaker 1: the new governors like, this doesn't feel fair. Too much
Speaker 1: time has passed. We're spending millions and millions and millions
Speaker 1: and millions and millions of dollars, and it's a mess.
Speaker 1: There's few stadiums not allowing any World Cup tailgating, says Tracy.
Speaker 1: It seems like they got problems all over the place.
Speaker 1: I hope it works out for them, but it seems
Speaker 1: like they have some mission no tailgating. How boring do
Speaker 1: you want to be? Yeah? That sucks. That's part of
Speaker 1: the whole experience. All right, quickly, here we go. Let's
Speaker 1: do jury duty. Court is now in session, so put
Speaker 1: your phone down and pay attention before we call the
Speaker 1: bailiff over to whip your ass. You're no injury duty
Speaker 1: with the news juty duty.
Speaker 3: Parking is going up too, how much they say, drive
Speaker 3: and park An American Dream, the only mall connected to
Speaker 3: MetLife Stadium, will offer several thousand parking spaces, typically costing
Speaker 3: six dollars a piece two hundred and twenty five dollars
Speaker 3: to park at the World Cup.
Speaker 1: See it's ridiculous. At some point, you go only the
Speaker 1: most wealthy people are able to go see this? And
Speaker 1: this a sport. Sport is supposed to be for most
Speaker 1: general people, like the general audience should be able to
Speaker 1: go there and time about a twenty dollars ticket, like
Speaker 1: a twenty or thirty or forty dollars ticket for the
Speaker 1: whole game would be something that most families might be
Speaker 1: able to consider, but they just don't get that unfortunately.
Speaker 1: All right, Juri Dudy, brought to you by the one
Speaker 1: the only moti Wit of the DeWit Law Firm. Injured
Speaker 1: on the go, just call Mo eight hundred, Calmo eight
Speaker 1: hundred Calmo, or go to Justcalmo dot com. After an accident,
Speaker 1: reach out to Moses Dwitt. He's there to help you
Speaker 1: in the moment and after and you'll get yourself one
Speaker 1: of those big checks if the case is worthy of it.
Speaker 1: Go over to Justcallmo dot com or call eight hundred
Speaker 1: call Mode. Now. Anna Keepner, her stepbrother who is now
Speaker 1: accused of killing the Florida teen on this cruise, has
Speaker 1: been arraigned in a court in Florida, a federal court
Speaker 1: in Florida. Timothy Hudson sixteen now officially charged with aggravated
Speaker 1: abuse charges an adult first degree murder as well. Are
Speaker 1: they locking him up yet? He has the opportunity to
Speaker 1: enter a plea of those charges. He will not. I
Speaker 1: don't think be spending any time behind bars, yet he
Speaker 1: still remains after all of these months. Remember he allegedly
Speaker 1: killed her on November seventh. Look where we are now,
Speaker 1: we're into the middle of April. He killed her allegedly
Speaker 1: on November seventh. We're in the middle of April and
Speaker 1: this guy is still wandering around free. We've got more
Speaker 1: stories that didn't quite make it into jury duty that
Speaker 1: we'll get to. And also, I told you a company
Speaker 1: made a big change that is something that never ever
Speaker 1: done before. You know this company, You're gonna be surprised
Speaker 1: by this change. And for real, this time is coming
Speaker 1: up next. I'm gonna use junk. Ye should have brought
Speaker 1: supplies to do a true power hour? Oh way we could.
Speaker 1: Today would have been a perfect day. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: why didn't you say this earlier? Have you ever done
Speaker 1: that power hour? You do one every is it one
Speaker 1: shot of beer every minne? I thought it was a
Speaker 1: shot of beer every minute. I actually didn't know what
Speaker 1: it was like.
Speaker 3: The way I learned what a power hour was is
Speaker 3: people would make like mixed CDs or something where they
Speaker 3: would they would burn an MP three where the song
Speaker 3: changes every minute, and when the song changes, that's how
Speaker 3: you knew to take your shot of beer, but it
Speaker 3: just seems like not fun to me.
Speaker 1: Well, I was just gonna ask if you wanted to
Speaker 1: do it next Friday. I think I've learned. I've learned
Speaker 1: what you want to do. I have to drive to
Speaker 1: and from work. I can't just got to drive. Shim
Speaker 1: me over in my flip floppies. Even Spider Man drinks
Speaker 1: his beers in the car, right and Tom Holland he
Speaker 1: goes to Publix. He has a pub sub. Tom Holland
Speaker 1: is Spider Man in the car with that bear.
Speaker 3: I also think that if we were to power hour
Speaker 3: Tom Holland's beers, I don't know that you would feel much.
Speaker 1: No. Only one way to find out, though, I mean,
Speaker 1: will it be your per segment? No, No, we would go.
Speaker 1: We would do it by the rule book, like how
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do it, whatever those are.
Speaker 3: Venda sous says, the tenth shot is liquor, every tenth shot.
Speaker 1: I guess, oh my god, Oh this is going to
Speaker 1: be worse than I thought if we if we had
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. What a pussy? What? Well, I'll
Speaker 1: get them to bully you into doing it. Did you
Speaker 1: ever have Bird says to fourteen shots of liquor for
Speaker 1: the cruise line girl, if we do it tequila.
Speaker 3: Cruise, I would love to do that. While we talked
Speaker 3: to the lawyer, I'd be like.
Speaker 1: Who can I sue? Now? Who can I sue? We
Speaker 1: We've got our lure in the water for the lawyer
Speaker 1: in that cruise ship tequila case. He was allegedly going
Speaker 1: to be joining us at like two twenty to two thirty.
Speaker 1: So it's the tail end of the show. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it will happen or not to take this
Speaker 1: break early. Yeah maybe, as I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't want to take it early. It was not
Speaker 1: going to be there to begin with. The issue is
Speaker 1: like he's been on the Today Show, He's been all
Speaker 1: over the place, He's been doing all these interviews, and
Speaker 1: all I want to do is get the nitty gritty
Speaker 1: from this guy. I want to be like, Hey, I
Speaker 1: read the story I read about your client who got
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars plus from Carnival Cruise Lines, and
Speaker 1: it said to me that she had fourteen or so
Speaker 1: shots of tequila and that they showed her on camera
Speaker 1: ordering all these tequilas I guess. And afterwards she wandered
Speaker 1: away and woke up. She had blacked out and fell
Speaker 1: down and hurt herself, and then she blamed the cruise
Speaker 1: line for this. And I'm going to sell me on
Speaker 1: the idea that it's not her responsibility here. There must
Speaker 1: be something that convinced this jury of these women, this
Speaker 1: jury of women in Miami, to agree with her. There
Speaker 1: must be something. So I don't know if he joins us.
Speaker 1: The lure is in the water. We'll tell you if
Speaker 1: somebody tugs on it.
Speaker 3: We went on a cruise recently. I did, Yeah, the
Speaker 3: Princess Cruise. When you were on your cruise, did they
Speaker 3: do this thing that I think? I don't know if
Speaker 3: it's just Royal Caribbean or if it's all the cruises
Speaker 3: where they tell you what day it is in the elevator.
Speaker 1: No, I no, I've seen that before on Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: seen it on the Family cruises more, but I've never
Speaker 1: done that.
Speaker 3: Actually, I've seen like the tiktoks or Instagram where they're
Speaker 3: like we finally got to see it, like they got
Speaker 3: to be in the elevator when the cruise employee changing
Speaker 3: the changes the day. Because I remember thinking that the
Speaker 3: first time, Like I went in, I thought the elevator
Speaker 3: was just named Friday, like this is the Friday elevator.
Speaker 3: And then I got in the next day and it
Speaker 3: said Saturday, And I was like, why did they decide
Speaker 3: that this would be a thing, Like we need a
Speaker 3: feature to remind people what day it is, and we're
Speaker 3: going to put it in a floor panel of the elevator.
Speaker 1: That is strange. Sanj Ford says, if the lawyer falls
Speaker 1: through today, ditcham. Of course I was gonna ditch them
Speaker 1: before that, but we just got like a last sound
Speaker 1: like my wife with a sod lady. Yes, we got
Speaker 1: a last opportunity. So I was like, why not let's
Speaker 1: give this a shop. All right, let's talk about this company,
Speaker 1: and I have a way to make this work. I
Speaker 1: think every one of us, I don't care who you are.
Speaker 1: I don't care what platform you're listening to the show
Speaker 1: on right now, don't care what station you're listening on.
Speaker 1: Every last man, woman, and child listening to the show
Speaker 1: right now has heard of this company. Gatorade. Yeah, Gatorade.
Speaker 1: We have all heard of the company. It's owned by
Speaker 1: Pepsi Co. And they're about to change everything. Now Here's
Speaker 1: here's what's going on. And I'll tell you I got
Speaker 1: I got something I'm gonna throw at you. Gatorade. You
Speaker 1: is it free? It's free from me to you. All right,
Speaker 1: it's been a rough week, but I'm still gonna give
Speaker 1: you a free idea here. Gatorade. Since it's inception, which
Speaker 1: as far as I recall is was like invented on
Speaker 1: UF campus or something like that, I think, right, they
Speaker 1: came up with Gatorade, their sports drink some measis. Gatorade
Speaker 1: is a product, not a company. Well, it's owned by
Speaker 1: a Pepsi Coo. So Gatorade's parent company, Pepsi Coo has
Speaker 1: announced a change to Gatorade. And here's what they've announced.
Speaker 1: Every single ad campaign they have ever done since the
Speaker 1: jump has been featuring athletes, every one of them football players, sprinters,
Speaker 1: baseball players, basketball stars. Every single Gatorade commercial they have
Speaker 1: ever done centered around athletes and focused on athletics. And
Speaker 1: for the first time ever, Gatorade says they're going to
Speaker 1: change that. And I give this to you for free, Gatorade.
Speaker 1: If you want to sell at least twenty percent more games,
Speaker 1: forget the athletes, forget the sprinters, forget all those people.
Speaker 1: Show one person who had way too much to drink
Speaker 1: last night waking up in the morning, and Nicole's onto
Speaker 1: it already. Nicole knows, she knows what's going on. Nicole
Speaker 1: on YouTube says, lemon Lime, somebody has way too much
Speaker 1: to drink in this commercial, and the next morning they
Speaker 1: wake up and they're they're all hungover, and they crack
Speaker 1: the top on that ice cold lemon lime Gatorade for
Speaker 1: their hangover. You will sell so many more Gatorades. You've
Speaker 1: been focusing only on the fit, athletic people, the athletes.
Speaker 1: If you focus on this fad alcoholics, the big fat drunks.
Speaker 1: They they got money too, all right, they got money
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. This will work out. This is from
Speaker 1: the Associated Press, says Gatorades owner wants more people who
Speaker 1: aren't athletes to drink the drink. This says sixty years
Speaker 1: after it invented sports drink. That's crazy to think about, too,
Speaker 1: Like there was no category even just like white Claw
Speaker 1: as far as I'm aware, was a category creator with
Speaker 1: the Seltzer going through to most stores out there, and
Speaker 1: everybody buying white Claw was white Claw first?
Speaker 3: Or did they just get the market share, like they
Speaker 3: somehow found the perfect formula of marketing and outreach to
Speaker 3: become the number one brand in Seltzer's were.
Speaker 1: They not sure? I don't know if they were first
Speaker 1: or just first to be big enough that it launched
Speaker 1: it out for everybody else.
Speaker 3: You know, I had a teacher in college who was
Speaker 3: a huge Apple mark. She loved, I mean she loved
Speaker 3: and she thought like the iPod was so revolutionary. Was
Speaker 3: like it was not the first MP three player. She
Speaker 3: talked about it like it was. But they had the
Speaker 3: diamond rio like there was. There were other players in
Speaker 3: the MP three playing market.
Speaker 1: Applet it that all the time though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Apple just did it better, better, and and and
Speaker 3: in a way that people caught onto better.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, sixty years after it invented sports drinks, Gatorade
Speaker 1: is making a surprising pivot. It's no longer focusing primarily
Speaker 1: on athletes. PEPSI COO, Gatorade's parent company, said Thursday, the
Speaker 1: brand wants to broaden its reach. You know why this
Speaker 1: worked for somebody else. This worked for somebody else when
Speaker 1: I was younger, when I was like a teenager or
Speaker 1: in my twenties. If somebody You guys are way ahead
Speaker 1: of it today. Man Chad is way ahead of it.
Speaker 1: If somebody when I was younger said pediolite, I was,
Speaker 1: was there a baby here? Pedia Lite is for a baby.
Speaker 1: You have a pedia LIGHTE you give it to a
Speaker 1: little kid who's like maybe a couple of years old
Speaker 1: and able to drink something different. And that's who drinking that.
Speaker 1: But they turned the corner on this because they noticed
Speaker 1: people who were drunks were drinking the pediaites. And now
Speaker 1: where's pedia light. It's not just on the shelf next
Speaker 1: to the stuff for babies. Hell no, it's on this
Speaker 1: seven to eleven shelf, next to every other's trust drink.
Speaker 1: There's a Pedaite. Now it's made them billions of dollars,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of crazy that some of these people
Speaker 1: have left that money on the shelf down.
Speaker 3: We want a cheap party, You go to seven to
Speaker 3: eleven and stock up on buzzballs and pedia Lite.
Speaker 1: True. The buzzballs though, I don't even know if Pedli
Speaker 1: can fight that off, good God, afterwards, that's tough. The
Speaker 1: change reflects US consumers booming interest in beverages with perceived
Speaker 1: health benefits. It says some of the experts here. Now,
Speaker 1: liquid IV and some of these other places have seen
Speaker 1: a search in sales. A lot of people have entered
Speaker 1: the space. More than one hundred and fifty new brands
Speaker 1: have got into the sports world.
Speaker 3: Man, liquid IV is pricey for what it is. You're
Speaker 3: not even getting the liquid. You're just the powder rest,
Speaker 3: a little bag of powder. If you buy liquid IV
Speaker 3: at the grocery store, you are severely overpaying. We pretty
Speaker 3: much only buy it at Costco. How much does it
Speaker 3: cost just for the thing of the store.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 3: Twelve or thirteen dollars for a five or six pack?
Speaker 3: I mean, like it only makes five drinks or six drinks.
Speaker 1: I think. Let me see. People are also mentioning, like
Speaker 1: al over on TJ chat, there's I've seen a bunch
Speaker 1: of people mention this electrolic. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: I've never tried that actually myself. But there's a lot
Speaker 1: of competitors out there. A lot of them have focused
Speaker 1: just on athletes. This is going to open it up
Speaker 1: to somebody else. They say, instant iv is better, seelamb. Look,
Speaker 1: they're all great, they're all great, but they want some
Speaker 1: you know, I'll give it a I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 3: I'll do the actual, the hard research, you know, make
Speaker 3: sure that I and drain my electrolytes the night before
Speaker 3: and then so see how well they replenish.
Speaker 1: Right back through. This is Jeremy, I'll say. Jeremy sends
Speaker 1: a n email the tips of the neews Junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: He said, you started the show with this Amazon driver,
Speaker 1: and we did. There was this woman who posted on
Speaker 1: TikTok her Amazon delivery app and showing how many deliveries
Speaker 1: she had to do in the day. It was three
Speaker 1: hundred stops or more than that, and five hundred total packages.
Speaker 1: Something crazy. Jeremy says, that route is crazy. I do
Speaker 1: Amazon Flex in my car. I do two shifts a day,
Speaker 1: seven to eight hours and seventy to ninety stops per day,
Speaker 1: and I am beat. I couldn't imagine three hundred stops
Speaker 1: or whatever that girl had. Yeah, I guess we didn't
Speaker 1: really have.
Speaker 3: And I'm surprised we didn't hear from Pisenberg on this
Speaker 3: because I didn't really have a baseline for what your
Speaker 3: typical Amazon day would be.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's buried in packages right now. He's having a
Speaker 1: day where he's buried delivery mail. A real quick, great
Speaker 1: great tweet deserves so much attention. In my opinion, I
Speaker 1: just wanted to showcase this before we go to break.
Speaker 1: This says from somebody named Mark. I saw this and
Speaker 1: I was like this. I don't know where this came from,
Speaker 1: totally out of the blue, but I go. I am
Speaker 1: with you. The best part of Sublimes, what I got
Speaker 1: is when they sing I can play the guitar like
Speaker 1: an MF and Riot and then proceed to play the
Speaker 1: guitar as though they just learned the guitar today with
Speaker 1: that one specific section only it's so true. I m
Speaker 1: a lot of that is that I could play the
Speaker 1: guitar like an MF and Riot, and then you play
Speaker 1: some twinkle twinkle little stars on the guitar shortly after
Speaker 1: that fair point mark that gets you all those views
Speaker 1: and points.
Speaker 3: Looking up to a piano and stretching your your neck
Speaker 3: and doing the little uh flexing your your knuckles and
Speaker 3: then chopsticks.
Speaker 1: Pin pin pin pin pe peep p p p p pep.
Speaker 1: You gotta come a little harder than that. Wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: take a quick break. When we come back, we'll hear
Speaker 1: from you. I I've got these dispatches and emails lined
Speaker 1: up and ready to go. Also, about this singer that
Speaker 1: was arrested for killing a teenager out in California. What's
Speaker 1: really going on there. We'll dive into that story too.
Speaker 1: It's coming up next on the News Junkie. Make sure
Speaker 1: you're not missing a moment of the action as the
Speaker 1: show rolls on. Hey, has anybody had a conversation with
Speaker 1: Jack Bradshaw? Have not? I have not heard from him.
Speaker 1: I know people have corresponded with him. He's a program
Speaker 1: director here at our home station and he will be
Speaker 1: returning from a vacation that he's been on in the
Speaker 1: last week or so. And I don't know how. I mean,
Speaker 1: he must be aware of some of the tumultuous things
Speaker 1: that he did in his absence.
Speaker 3: You know, some people are different about respecting people's vacations.
Speaker 3: It just really kind of depends on what you do.
Speaker 3: But we try as hard as we can to sort
Speaker 3: of you have your time, you earned it.
Speaker 1: You're planning on this.
Speaker 3: He's out with his family on a cruise and brought
Speaker 3: the whole family and you.
Speaker 1: Know where they went.
Speaker 3: Where they went cruise in like Mexico. I know they
Speaker 3: went to Saint Thomas. So it's a route like that.
Speaker 3: His stepdaughter. They were able to get on a boat
Speaker 3: that she's currently performing on.
Speaker 1: Oh that's very cool. No way, So she got a
Speaker 1: gig on a cruise ship and then they went out
Speaker 1: there and they got like did the vacation in that? Yep,
Speaker 1: that's amazing. So I'm glad he had fun there. But
Speaker 1: when he comes back, it's gonna be like, well, let's
Speaker 1: just see what my inbox looks like. Let's see what
Speaker 1: happened while I was Oh my god, it's like.
Speaker 3: Yes, I I purchased the onboard Wi Fi package? Is
Speaker 3: there any way I could turn that off?
Speaker 1: Just turn it? Just please just turn it off. He
Speaker 1: just threw his phone, didn't you say?
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 1: Just threw his phone right into this?
Speaker 3: Somebody said that that I was talking to in the
Speaker 3: offices here, they're like, Jack probably threw his phone in
Speaker 3: the ocean. I go, there is not a chance in hell,
Speaker 3: a snowballs chance in hell that that cheap ass would
Speaker 3: throw away a perfectly good phone for some tumultuous office reasons.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see. We're gonna find out as soon as
Speaker 1: he gets back. But it's gonna be an interesting week
Speaker 1: next week on the show. Some stuff to talk about.
Speaker 1: I got some things to get off my chest. We
Speaker 1: got some things that will be happening around here, some
Speaker 1: some new segments appearing a lot of developments on the
Speaker 1: show next week, and I hope you'll hang out and
Speaker 1: see what happens to come along for the Rod. Here's
Speaker 1: a couple of clips before we wrap it up here
Speaker 1: in the Power Hour today. One of them is going
Speaker 1: viral here today one point three million views. This is
Speaker 1: at that same event where Trump said he wasn't a senior.
Speaker 1: Let's see what he says this time. This is that
Speaker 1: the no tax on tips e.
Speaker 4: Ventue American small businesses, including restaurants, strip laders, corner stores.
Speaker 4: What is a corner store? I've never heard that term.
Speaker 4: I know what corner, but I've never heard it describe
Speaker 4: a corner store.
Speaker 1: Who the hell wrote that? Please and more did it
Speaker 1: say something different? There's no idea hasn't heard of a
Speaker 1: corner store? Right right, right, like a corner store is
Speaker 1: the most generic thing in the world. When I was young,
Speaker 1: our family, especially when we would go up to Vermont,
Speaker 1: we would have a lot of family that lived in
Speaker 1: the Saint Albans area, and I loved visiting my aunts
Speaker 1: and uncles up there because even though they almost everybody
Speaker 1: all in the family was pretty poor and St. Albans
Speaker 1: is certainly not a rich city, but they had this
Speaker 1: little house and the house was two blocks away from
Speaker 1: a corner store. And my parents are like, you know,
Speaker 1: just so you know, when we go here, just be prepared.
Speaker 1: You know, their house is not quite as large as ours.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, I've shown the house that I grew
Speaker 1: up and on the show before. It's not big. It's
Speaker 1: about a fifteen hundred or fourteen hundred square foot house
Speaker 1: in the acredge was built by my dad and some
Speaker 1: friends and stuff. We were your house. Yeah, they did
Speaker 1: most of it, Like I have photographs of me when
Speaker 1: we were laying all the concrete block and stuff, and
Speaker 1: the family was like a family ordeal. But he never
Speaker 1: got any manlier than that moment there. I didn't know.
Speaker 2: I was thinking.
Speaker 1: I was I was six when I peeked in my manliness. Yes,
Speaker 1: So when we would go up there, you know, we
Speaker 1: lived lower middle class in the acreage, and my mom
Speaker 1: would still be like, just beware. Their house was quite small,
Speaker 1: and their house was small I think they They had
Speaker 1: a three bedroom, nine hundred and something square foot house.
Speaker 1: It was very small, but as a kid, I did
Speaker 1: not think of it as small, and I did not
Speaker 1: think down or lower of them at all. I thought
Speaker 1: they had the coolest house in the world because you
Speaker 1: could walk two blocks and go to the corner store.
Speaker 1: And so my parents sometimes would just be like, oh,
Speaker 1: go here's five bucks, here's here's a couple of dollars.
Speaker 1: You'd go to the corner store, his mom, my cousins,
Speaker 1: and my aunt, I should say. My aunt would tell
Speaker 1: my cousin everyone, well, here go get me my stuff,
Speaker 1: and she would give him a couple of bucks, and
Speaker 1: we would come back and the person would give cigarettes
Speaker 1: the to us kids at the corner store. The corners
Speaker 1: were how was that for your mom? Hensch off one
Speaker 1: for shipping and handling. No, we were too small for that.
Speaker 1: We were like I might have been eight or nine
Speaker 1: or something. We weren't puffing on darts, just taking them.
Speaker 1: There was.
Speaker 3: My mom's aunt and uncle, or maybe the aunt was
Speaker 3: had deceased by the time I went and visited them,
Speaker 3: but they lived on Lake Erie in Ohio, in a
Speaker 3: community called Channel Grove, where it wasn't like a golf
Speaker 3: course community, but everybody had golf carts and like they
Speaker 3: would all go watch the sunset at the marina. But
Speaker 3: at the other end of the main road, they had
Speaker 3: a used to be a car wash and they converted
Speaker 3: it into a drive through convenience store. So we would
Speaker 3: take the golf cart and just drive through this former
Speaker 3: car wash and.
Speaker 1: Get one of these. Get one of these.
Speaker 3: My mom's picking up her little like Kelua mixers. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: that was a good time, Mama Lane. You deserve it.
Speaker 1: You get them Kohlua mixers. You deserve that. Somebody said
Speaker 1: it was written corner store. I figured there must have
Speaker 1: been something. Let's see if he says corner let's seeings
Speaker 1: of American small.
Speaker 4: Businesses, including restaurants, strike landers, corner stores. What is a
Speaker 4: corner store. I've never heard that term. I know what
Speaker 4: a corner store is.
Speaker 1: But maybe he's saying quarter store. Maybe it's written quarter
Speaker 1: q U A R t e R, because it sounds
Speaker 1: like he's saying, I've never heard of corner stores. I've
Speaker 1: heard of corner stores.
Speaker 3: The weird part is when he corrects himself. The thing
Speaker 3: that he says is not too different than the thing
Speaker 3: that he said first, So I'm not hearing a difference
Speaker 3: in those. That's why I think it sounds like he
Speaker 3: doesn't know what a corner store is.
Speaker 4: Well, not times of American small businesses, including restaurants, strike
Speaker 4: landers corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never
Speaker 4: heard that term. I know what it sounds like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like you said corner than quarter and
Speaker 1: then bad at though, But there you go. I know
Speaker 1: what they are, and most people do. Probably turns out
Speaker 1: he does too. Corner store is the most like American
Speaker 1: thing you can imagine. I love that experience. Man. I
Speaker 1: didn't get that because in the place that we grew
Speaker 1: up forty ninth Street from from age six or so
Speaker 1: to age eighteen. That is where I lived on forty
Speaker 1: ninth Street and the acreage in Royal Palm Beach, Florida,
Speaker 1: in this very run of the mill, middle class, lower
Speaker 1: middle class house. And I loved it. But the only
Speaker 1: problem was is all dirt roads at that time, and
Speaker 1: their houses were few and far between, and the closest
Speaker 1: grocery store was about I think maybe two or three
Speaker 1: miles down the road. It's pretty far away for a
Speaker 1: grocery store at that time. Now they're closer, but it
Speaker 1: was pretty far away at that time, and for me,
Speaker 1: you didn't have the access to do that you could
Speaker 1: there was no place that you could walk to and
Speaker 1: you could go. And you have all these little shops
Speaker 1: and stuff. I have a corner store to visit courty.
Speaker 1: And I absolutely love where we are now, and one
Speaker 1: of the reasons is specifically because there's everything that we
Speaker 1: could think of around us, Like everything that we could
Speaker 1: think of is around us. There's nothing that's outside of
Speaker 1: like half a mile from where the house is located,
Speaker 1: and I love that. But as a kid, we didn't
Speaker 1: have all of those different options. So for me, Man,
Speaker 1: I would go over any friend's house if they could
Speaker 1: walk to a store, or if there was like a
Speaker 1: restaurant or a subway or a McDonald's, god forbid near him.
Speaker 3: I stopped stopped at the store on the way to
Speaker 3: your house last night, and so I was in an Uber,
Speaker 3: so I had to have the Uber guy, you know,
Speaker 3: I had to put the stop in the app.
Speaker 1: And so we stopped, stopped at the store.
Speaker 3: And then we went to uh your house, and the
Speaker 3: Uber driver looks at the map and he goes, well,
Speaker 3: you couldn't just walked to the D the way. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm not walking the rest of the way. Man, I
Speaker 3: paid for uber comfort.
Speaker 1: Big Doug on Twitch says working at IBM at that
Speaker 1: time was not lower middle class. I love when you
Speaker 1: guys tell me here's what it was like. So my
Speaker 1: dad worked at IBM. That is true. When my dad
Speaker 1: first got the job at IBM, he was a line worker,
Speaker 1: putting like the chipsets together and stuff. And then they
Speaker 1: started funding his schooling and whatnot so that he could
Speaker 1: go get a master's in business, and he was in
Speaker 1: after that. I've talked about it before, but like, I
Speaker 1: have no idea what my father did. I think he
Speaker 1: did like contracts for IBM, but he wasn't a very
Speaker 1: high up position at his highest level. When he retired,
Speaker 1: I think my dad was making about seventy five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year, Which is not to say that that's
Speaker 1: bad money or was bad money then, But when when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, when we were in this house,
Speaker 1: my dad was just first starting out at IBM number
Speaker 1: one and number two, and perhaps most importantly, my mother
Speaker 1: didn't work. For most of my life. We were a
Speaker 1: single income household. So the job that my father had
Speaker 1: was all that we had going on. That's all that
Speaker 1: we had to kind of stretch us out. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying I was poor. We didn't want for a
Speaker 1: lot of things, but you know, certainly trust me if
Speaker 1: I say it was lower middle class, I lived the
Speaker 1: experience one that was the case in this In this circumstance, it's.
Speaker 3: So weird that your dad and my dad both worked
Speaker 3: for IBM, and we don't really know what they did.
Speaker 3: My dad, I know the title was financial systems analyst,
Speaker 3: and my stepmom would go, I don't, I don't know
Speaker 3: what he does.
Speaker 1: Financial systems analysts was yours? Yeah, procurement. It was what
Speaker 1: I told you what my dad did. Procurement. That sounds
Speaker 1: like what a drug dealer says their job is, or
Speaker 1: somebody what do you do?
Speaker 3: Or somebody that has a fake job, like in Seinfeld
Speaker 3: when he had that fake company, was it imports and export?
Speaker 1: What did he say? Yeah, yeah, my dad had an
Speaker 1: import export company too. It's just that it never existed. Really.
Speaker 1: He thought he could get free samples from everybody. Again,
Speaker 1: this is what we would do to try to get
Speaker 1: a little bit more coming into the household. Vandale Industries
Speaker 1: importer exporter. Uh, yeah, my dad was in What did
Speaker 1: I say? It was called procurement, procurement, procurement, which it
Speaker 1: does sound like you procure marijuana for the kids in
Speaker 1: the neighborhood too, which sounds very similar. Or here's a
Speaker 1: couple of things that we told that alert. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: wish The singer David or D four VD as it's
Speaker 1: read here, has been arrested on suspicion of killing a
Speaker 1: fourteen year old girl whose decomposed body was found seven
Speaker 1: months ago. Seven months ago they found this girl. He
Speaker 1: was doing the singer David who you probably don't know,
Speaker 1: the twenty one year old pop singer David Burke or
Speaker 1: D four VD. David. He was at the time showing
Speaker 1: up with this teenager on his live streams, and he
Speaker 1: was writing songs about fantasizing about killing people. And then
Speaker 1: she ends up missing, then they find her decomposed body
Speaker 1: in his abandoned tesla, and then he was still on
Speaker 1: tour for a while. He still they're performing and stuff.
Speaker 1: Not until just yesterday was he finally arrested on suspicion
Speaker 1: how many killing this girl?

Speaker 1: we call today. It is Taylor for a Friday, April
Speaker 1: seventeenth to twenty twenty six. Today learn the guy from
Speaker 1: this series, James Bond. That's correct, James Bond. His preference
Speaker 1: of shaken and not stirred as a martini is very
Speaker 1: contra versial in the bartending world, because drinks containing only
Speaker 1: alcoholic ingredients are almost always stirred to preserve clarity and
Speaker 1: avoid overdilution, among other things. Also in the James Bond universe.
Speaker 1: Loved this story that I saw this week. Amazon came
Speaker 1: out and said Amazon's new James Bond movie is amazing,
Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, did Amazon?
Speaker 3: Thanks for the Amazon review of the Amazon movie.
Speaker 1: This is like the Catholic Church investigating themselves. We didn't
Speaker 1: do anything wrong. Yeah. Amazon looked into their new James
Speaker 1: Bond movie and they're like, this is good. We really
Speaker 1: knocked it out of the park here.
Speaker 3: Everybody, I'm gonna have to launch it to see if
Speaker 3: we can trust Amazon.
Speaker 1: Dogs get authentically jealous and try to break up the
Speaker 1: connection between their owner and other dogs. And finally to
Speaker 1: learn this, Lady.
Speaker 3: Bondy no into Carlisle's That's and I've gotten the.
Speaker 1: Well Linda Carlile of the Go Gos and this song
Speaker 1: Heaven as a Place on Earth. The Fame started her
