Speaker 1: Little while longer before all is completely over with with
Speaker 1: this winter.
Speaker 2: It ain't over just yet.
Speaker 1: A groundhog agrees, I think, or you never know, because
Speaker 1: some of the groundhogs agree.
Speaker 2: Other groundhogs disagree. These are dead regional groundhogs.
Speaker 1: Regional groundhogs are like in disagreement with the pucksatani Phil,
Speaker 1: You know how it goes. All right, let's put our
Speaker 1: ears of the ground, our fingers on the post. Let's
Speaker 1: see what's happening to this great, big wide world of
Speaker 1: ours and we.
Speaker 2: Go to Vlusha County, Florida.
Speaker 1: Everybody, that's right where The Felusha County Sheriff's office has
Speaker 1: released some video of a Florida deputy rescuing an unresponsive
Speaker 1: woman from a house fire. This is a cop going
Speaker 1: into a smoke filled house and doing his best to
Speaker 1: try to rescue somebody. Let's see what happened. Here we
Speaker 1: go throwing.
Speaker 2: Stuff out of the west.
Speaker 1: I got someone on.
Speaker 2: The ground, sets his sights on the woman.
Speaker 5: Here WHOA sounds like a video games.
Speaker 1: It looks like a video game. I say for the
Speaker 1: blurring out of the woman.
Speaker 2: He got her. Wait, he's going in still.
Speaker 1: I think all these noises, just for the record, are
Speaker 1: The guy is like, there's smoke.
Speaker 2: There's smoke inside the house.
Speaker 6: And.
Speaker 7: People don't realize until you're like in it how bad
Speaker 7: it actually hurts.
Speaker 1: It's like that burn in your lungs. I think that's
Speaker 1: what he's getting. And so he's trying his best to
Speaker 1: keep it together. I got you, come picks her up.
Speaker 1: He's risking his own life to grab this lady.
Speaker 3: This is crazy.
Speaker 1: It's harder to pick up somebody than you might think.
Speaker 2: By the way, and then he busts his way out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: kicks the.
Speaker 3: Wall down, badass.
Speaker 1: What sounds like it? Don't see is he at that
Speaker 1: point during his rescue, he's like, just kill me.
Speaker 2: I'm exhausted, but you are.
Speaker 7: It's so close to the finish line here.
Speaker 1: He kool aid manned his way through the wall. He's
Speaker 1: got the woman. He's trying to pick her up that
Speaker 1: he's dragging her a little bit, but.
Speaker 2: He's like, I can't do it. This is it? Ll
Speaker 2: me kill me, kill me please? Is that what he said?
Speaker 2: Let's go back?
Speaker 5: Kill me?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's sound good. Kill me, say Kobe?
Speaker 2: And is bad in that it's quite hard to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they obviously wanted to censor out the victim, so
Speaker 1: you just see a big blob if you're watching live, just.
Speaker 3: Some future reference with the technology to just do the body. Yeah,
Speaker 3: well this video out.
Speaker 1: This particular officer commended for his action Lucia County Sheriff's Office,
Speaker 1: and they said the victim is stable and expected.
Speaker 2: To fully recovery, which good for you, dude. And then
Speaker 2: I started to wonder afterwards.
Speaker 1: I was like, could I no laughing, please, no laughing?
Speaker 1: Could I wander into a fire and pick up a
Speaker 1: person and bring them out of the fire.
Speaker 2: Depends on the person.
Speaker 1: Uh you you're in the fire, you said, No laughing,
Speaker 1: you said.
Speaker 2: But as clear as that, I'm.
Speaker 3: Going maybe adrenaline.
Speaker 1: Hopefully, Like I've seen a mom lift a car off
Speaker 1: a kid.
Speaker 4: Everybody everybody says that, have we seen a mom lift
Speaker 4: the car off a kid?
Speaker 2: Yes, I heard.
Speaker 1: About a mom lifting a car off a kid. So
Speaker 1: I don't know if that actually happened.
Speaker 4: What was a movie where Harlan Williams goes to like
Speaker 4: Mars or something. There's a there's a scene where like
Speaker 4: he has to do that, he.
Speaker 2: Has to pick up something, he has.
Speaker 4: To pick up something very heavy to rescue somebody and
Speaker 4: save the day.
Speaker 2: And he goes. They say that, uh, you know, a.
Speaker 4: Mother's instinct or something that gives her extra strength, Call
Speaker 4: me mommy. It's ridiculous, Like it's very All they have
Speaker 4: to do is scream call me mommy and pick you up.
Speaker 2: And and I have to call you.
Speaker 4: I have to scream mommy at you that I'm carrying
Speaker 4: you out.
Speaker 2: Of the fire.
Speaker 7: But not like like a baby, like a giant baby.
Speaker 3: There are ways I feel like I'm.
Speaker 1: Sorry, this is my rescue. I would like it to
Speaker 1: be like a baby I'm carrying.
Speaker 3: Both of you are going to die.
Speaker 1: Probably, I will tell you, And all the adrenaline will
Speaker 1: wear off the moment I get outside, and then my.
Speaker 2: Knees will just explode into san legs.
Speaker 4: I think maybe your best bet for me would be
Speaker 4: to grab me by the legs and drag me. I
Speaker 4: don't know, I don't know if you're getting up or torso.
Speaker 1: All right, challenge accepted. Yeah, I mean, I'll keep that
Speaker 1: in mind. If there's any fire with dolly that would
Speaker 1: be handy. Just keep a dolly in every room, you know,
Speaker 1: fire extinguisher daily.
Speaker 4: It was really nice if Sean to invite us over.
Speaker 4: Why does he have dollies everywhere?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know, the real bitch would be if I did that,
Speaker 1: and then I still couldn't get you on the dolly
Speaker 1: because I'm not handy enough even with like the most rudimentary.
Speaker 2: Of the margin.
Speaker 1: Tell me just just keep saying it is.
Speaker 4: Can we get a hold of that officer or figure
Speaker 4: out what he said?
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope he's okay. That's all I'm hoping for.
Speaker 1: It looks like the lady's Okay, they got out of
Speaker 1: the fire all as well. Congratulations to everybody. Try not
Speaker 1: to set any fires in the in the future, all right. Uh.
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about, obviously, the thing I
Speaker 1: was watching all weekend long or whatever it was on
Speaker 1: the daytte of five hundreds.
Speaker 2: Up look at him.
Speaker 1: They were driving around and their automobiles out there for
Speaker 1: the Daytona five hundred. There was a couple of crashes.
Speaker 1: I saw, people were very passionate. There was some ass
Speaker 1: grabbing by Michael Jordan.
Speaker 3: Was weird.
Speaker 1: I know there's an excuse and it's like not as
Speaker 1: weird as it seems, but may I, may I never
Speaker 1: be on video grabbing a little kid's ass, all right, Like,
Speaker 1: if there's a little kid in front of me in line,
Speaker 1: it's just me and the kid in this line, and
Speaker 1: the ass of his shorts are on fire, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be like, listen.
Speaker 2: Buddy, I heard stop dropping rollers the way to go.
Speaker 1: I'm not grabbing your ass to put anything out because
Speaker 1: cameras won't understand what's going on here, So.
Speaker 2: You'd rather the kid burn.
Speaker 1: The kid must die if if the cameras won't understand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: have you seen what happened today, Michael Jordan, Like, everybody's like, well,
Speaker 1: obviously he's.
Speaker 3: The kid's pants weren't on fire.
Speaker 1: The kid's pants were on ice. From what I could hear,
Speaker 1: they said he had ice in his pants. The kid
Speaker 1: had ice at his pants, and that's what Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: was like trying to fix and get that out of there.
Speaker 1: We can go over to this real quick because I've
Speaker 1: got a couple of videos here the video for those
Speaker 1: of you watching, and you can watch the show over
Speaker 1: on YouTube dot com slash the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: Search for the News Junkie on YouTube. You'll see the stream.
Speaker 1: And Michael Jordan is hanging out with this whole race crew.
Speaker 1: He's big in the racing world, right.
Speaker 2: His dad got him into it.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's a very wealthy man, and he does some
Speaker 1: smart things with his money. And he seems to really
Speaker 1: like racing and want to bring more black racers into
Speaker 1: the world of NASCAR and black fans into the stands
Speaker 1: to the world of NASCAR. There hasn't historically been a
Speaker 1: lot of either one of them. So he thinks there's
Speaker 1: a huge opportunity for this, and financially, he thinks he
Speaker 1: might win from it too, and it looks like he's
Speaker 1: very very close with a lot of these people. And
Speaker 1: there's this little guy and the video caught Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: behind the little guy, and Michael Jordan's like, it looks like.
Speaker 2: He's going on his ass. I'm just you know, be real.
Speaker 1: Video shows him the little kids in front of him.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's pinching his ass.
Speaker 2: I tell it's not his ass that's getting picked.
Speaker 3: It's not turning around the kid.
Speaker 2: It took a while to turn around.
Speaker 1: I think I would have turned around very quickly if
Speaker 1: I was in but the kid had ice from what
Speaker 1: I what I hear in the back of his shirt,
Speaker 1: and it just looks so bad, Like it just looks
Speaker 1: like there's a little kid in front of me.
Speaker 3: It looks so creepy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then there's there's a second.
Speaker 1: The other the other clip that's going around is of
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan near the same kid, and the kid's kind
Speaker 1: of like, oh God, he's here again, because like, is
Speaker 1: he behind me?
Speaker 2: Behind me? Tell me if he gets any closer.
Speaker 1: The truth of the matter is so much different than
Speaker 1: the video, which is why I made this pivot here,
Speaker 1: because sometimes the video will convince people of all kinds
Speaker 1: of crazy stuff, and people like, well, obviously Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: wanted to touch this little boy at the race and
Speaker 1: just do it in front of everybody and all the
Speaker 1: cameras and stuff, and so often there's like there's another excuse,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a reason I can explain, is a
Speaker 1: real thing. And it looks like this was not as
Speaker 1: nefarious as it seemed. But uh man, that one went
Speaker 1: viral as home.
Speaker 7: It is funny to consider that that little boy has
Speaker 7: no idea how much of a.
Speaker 3: Legend, no, and how viral he is.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 7: At what point is he beyond his ears where someone
Speaker 7: can sit him down and be like, Michael Jordan, you
Speaker 7: fifteen years ago, or is Michael Jordan now.
Speaker 3: Just seeing the end of his.
Speaker 1: I think I got to Michael Jordan is just enjoying
Speaker 1: things I always hear about him, like smoking cigars, hanging
Speaker 1: out at these kind of places VIP style, not really
Speaker 1: caring much about what people think. Which is great for you,
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan on a day like this. It is just
Speaker 1: fantastic on a day like this. But he faced some
Speaker 1: backlash over this weird celebration. Yahoo News calls it weird
Speaker 1: celebration with a child after the Daytona five hundred win.
Speaker 2: It was kind of strange. I mean, I just.
Speaker 4: Think what's crazy is like that kid is just like
Speaker 4: used to being around Michael Jordan all the time. I
Speaker 4: know that's Tyler Reddick's son. That's the son of the
Speaker 4: guy who won the five hundred Michael. It's Michael Jordan's
Speaker 4: racing team. This is this is big news for Michael Jordan,
Speaker 4: and it's kind of unfortunate for Michael Jordan that it's
Speaker 4: now being slightly overshadowed by this weird Michael Ice in
Speaker 4: the pants thing.
Speaker 1: Imagine being pants. Imagine being a kid being annoyed by
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. Bothered you, I'd be like, this is awesome.
Speaker 3: Just leave it alone.
Speaker 1: Please, Sure he only touches my ass, but he's still
Speaker 1: hanging out with me.
Speaker 2: This is something more than my friends have. I would
Speaker 2: be excited.
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, feel free anytime you want ice.
Speaker 2: No ice, all the rest.
Speaker 3: Just like Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1: I'd be like just trying to scoot near everybody.
Speaker 2: Get up anything you see Jordan, anything you want to
Speaker 2: dunk on.
Speaker 4: Anything, basketball, You walk by Michael Jordan on an airplane.
Speaker 2: And you're like, I he.
Speaker 8: Kill me, kill me.
Speaker 1: It's a little like wiggling and in front of them
Speaker 1: kind of all right. I do want to talk about
Speaker 1: a couple of things, and one that that I think
Speaker 1: is so absolutely unhinged. That will be about the Daytona
Speaker 1: five hundred. We'll get it too that momentarily real quickly. Uh,
Speaker 1: some emails coming in tips at the news yunki dot com.
Speaker 1: Chris emails the show and he says, here they go again.
Speaker 1: TMZ receives a fourth Nancy Guthrie demand email and it
Speaker 1: says come forward and tell us. And they said they
Speaker 1: had the chance to offer the fifty thousand dollars and
Speaker 1: still can't pull the trigger.
Speaker 2: What a bunch of punks.
Speaker 1: This makes them come off as in my opinion, keep
Speaker 1: up the work, says Chris Coleman, the Pisenberg guy, Pop
Speaker 1: popcorn Man, that guy emailing the show, And he's right,
Speaker 1: it's so ridiculous that TMZ at this point is like,
Speaker 1: we got another email from this person. It's the same
Speaker 1: bitcoin account, so therefore it's the same person. And you're like,
Speaker 1: pay it. Fifty grand is nothing to TMZ. Pay it
Speaker 1: otherwise shut up.
Speaker 7: Well, over fifty grand with all of the website visits.
Speaker 2: A course, they've they've made a windfall off of this.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Oh what else here? Tips of the news

Speaker 1: as my sister Angela. Hey there, podcast listener here from

Speaker 2: You and I both I.
Speaker 1: Hope you read this on air and one of the
Speaker 1: talented news Junkie listeners will make that happen.
Speaker 2: We'll see.

Speaker 1: to do those things because copyrights And.
Speaker 2: Where's the AI that you know doesn't care, doesn't care?
Speaker 1: Uh huh wut the version of AI that's like grab
Speaker 1: a kids icee asses.
Speaker 2: I want the A.
Speaker 1: That doesn't listen to the rules, that doesn't have any
Speaker 1: bumpers or guard rails, scruple free AI. Yes, yeah, I
Speaker 1: want the AI that will say slurs at me every
Speaker 1: once in a while, not what mine does?
Speaker 2: You know what mine does?
Speaker 1: Oh, Sean, that's a badass idea or hell yeah, hell
Speaker 1: yeah Sean, Hell yeah, Sean.
Speaker 7: I told mine to stop doing that and stop using emojis.
Speaker 7: Just get to the point place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what are you fifteen? What's going on? You're
Speaker 2: an AI?
Speaker 4: Forgot So one thing that I have been doing forever
Speaker 4: that I think is now tied to AI, specifically chat
Speaker 4: GPT is the m dash. Yeah, Like people were like,
Speaker 4: oh AI is ruining the m dash because now that
Speaker 4: is now it seems like some sort of sign to
Speaker 4: people that you've used chat GPT for something, Yeah, because
Speaker 4: you copied and pasted it and it has the M dash.
Speaker 4: First of all, didn't know that thing had a name,
Speaker 4: didn't know that putting space was called an m dashers,
Speaker 4: just stuff that I did to like kind of transition thoughts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that.
Speaker 1: Doesn't doesn't just change the situation, it changes the game entirely,
Speaker 1: like everything in that format.
Speaker 2: Now, people think you're using chat GPT, though.
Speaker 4: I've never been personally accused of it. I mean, I
Speaker 4: use it all the time for other stuff. But like
Speaker 4: I just read about the m dash thing and people
Speaker 4: were blaming chat gpt for ruining the what's what's a
Speaker 4: perfectly good punctuation?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I put a bunch of misspellings and
Speaker 1: stuff in there so people know it's real. Now, I
Speaker 1: put at least two slurs and a couple of misspelled things,
Speaker 1: like yeah, like if you do every other letter capital and.
Speaker 2: Then lower case used to be so cool. People know,
Speaker 2: they know, they're like, this is real, this isn't from AI.
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, I want to talk
Speaker 1: about somebody doing just the unthinkable. At the Daytona five
Speaker 1: hundred and we got to put a stop to this stuff.
Speaker 2: We have to put a stop to this.
Speaker 1: A man who just threw his ashes on the winning
Speaker 1: cars the finish line, well not his, that would be
Speaker 1: a hell of a feed. He threw the ashes that
Speaker 1: he had with him. Somebody lost the limb and just
Speaker 1: cremated that limb.
Speaker 2: Throst it out there.
Speaker 1: And this this person, I'll tell you exactly how they
Speaker 1: did this and why this needs to stop. Okay, we
Speaker 1: need to stop this entirely, and that is coming up
Speaker 1: next in the news junkie. I have to say something,
Speaker 1: and I mean this like as much as somebody can
Speaker 1: mean something. All right, I'm this is this is coming
Speaker 1: from the heart.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: When someone tells you that when they die, here are
Speaker 1: the instructions for what to do with their ashes, you
Speaker 1: don't actually have to do it. You don't, there's no need.
Speaker 1: You don't have to do this stuff.
Speaker 2: People.
Speaker 1: I will go, well, you know, I brought this person's
Speaker 1: ashes to the Haunted Mansion in Disney World and I
Speaker 1: threw them all over the crowd there. And you go, well,
Speaker 1: why would you do a thing like that. Well, that's
Speaker 1: what they wanted me to do. And then somebody will say,
Speaker 1: like I got a motorcycle, and I got on the motorcycle.
Speaker 2: And drove all the way through South America because that's.
Speaker 1: What they wanted me to do. Like you, you can.
Speaker 1: I just want to give you this permission. You can
Speaker 1: ignore somebody's requests on what they want you to do
Speaker 1: with their ashes.
Speaker 3: They're not there. They're going to haunt you.
Speaker 1: They aren't gonna haunt you. There's no such thing as goes.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be fine. You could just ignore it. I
Speaker 1: did it, all right. I did the same thing.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: My father was started to talking about how he wanted
Speaker 1: to be buried.
Speaker 2: In a peanut can.
Speaker 1: He wanted his ashes put in like this peanut can,
Speaker 1: chuck full of nuts can. And my dad would say,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, when I die, Sean, just put my
Speaker 1: ashes in the can.
Speaker 2: My father was Alex Jones. Put in the can, and
Speaker 2: I will eat your neighbors. I will eat your neighbors.
Speaker 2: Put my ashes in the can. And I said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: you got it, Dad, you got it.
Speaker 1: And then I remember sitting there and having this moment
Speaker 1: where I was at my dad's funeral and people are
Speaker 1: going up and saying stuff, and I see the urn
Speaker 1: for my father's ashes in front of me, and I go,
Speaker 1: should I grab that and put it in the nut can?
Speaker 1: He wanted me to put it in the nut can,
Speaker 1: but you know what I did. I said, no, let's
Speaker 1: take the ashes, go through the rest of the process
Speaker 1: as they normally.
Speaker 2: Do, and then he save some money. Though I didn't
Speaker 2: want to do.
Speaker 1: Any of that because I thought it was ridiculous and
Speaker 1: you don't have to do these things, but people sometimes
Speaker 1: do them. And somebody at the dayton of five hundred
Speaker 1: was right at the finish line.
Speaker 2: The cars are flying by. Again.
Speaker 1: I don't know why any spectators watch this sport, but boy,
Speaker 1: do a lot of them do it. Spectators out there
Speaker 1: and all the cars just going by, no idea who
Speaker 1: those were and what order they were in, but there
Speaker 1: we go, and as they're going across the finish line
Speaker 1: at the Daytona five hundred, this guy runs out and
Speaker 1: throws what everybody's assuming to be human ashes on the
Speaker 1: cars who are crossing the finish line of the dayton
Speaker 1: of five hundred.
Speaker 2: For those of you watching on YouTube, here's the visual.
Speaker 1: Cars crashing coming around the corner. Boomy grows the ashes
Speaker 1: up over the field of vehicles, as they're crossing the
Speaker 1: finish line for the Daytona five hundred.
Speaker 2: And I hate this.
Speaker 1: I hate this because now you've he was caught in
Speaker 1: his own cloud of ashes as he threw them onto
Speaker 1: the cars. And I'm sure his friends like, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what I want happening to me if I die.
Speaker 2: It just looks like he barely got any of them.
Speaker 2: That's the fence. They blew back in his.
Speaker 9: Face like a clouds from foot.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I want to be.
Speaker 1: I want to be on the hood of those cars
Speaker 1: finishing the daytone of five hundred. I want to be
Speaker 1: on the hood of those fast cars with those fast
Speaker 1: drivers and the father of that little kid who's ass
Speaker 1: is going to get grabbed by Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2: That's I want to be my ashes. I wanted to
Speaker 2: be on the hood of that car.
Speaker 3: Well, that didn't happen. You ended up in strangers' mouths.
Speaker 2: He ended up in his friend's mouth. This is a cloud.
Speaker 1: He throws a cloud up into the air and then
Speaker 1: it goes all over him. And then the cloud, obviously
Speaker 1: there's wind drafting through, blows back and people are sitting
Speaker 1: there in the stands all of a sudden they're.
Speaker 2: Eating your friend.
Speaker 4: I don't mind the idea of spreading people's ashes as
Speaker 4: long as it's not you know, imposed upon anyone else,
Speaker 4: Like you know this one. It looks like there weren't
Speaker 4: a lot of people around, but those ashes definitely wear airborne.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people around.
Speaker 4: There's one hundreds of thousands of people right and not
Speaker 4: right next to that guy you're throwing ashes into the air,
Speaker 4: blows back on everybody.
Speaker 2: This is like, shirt, go stop, stop disp are mad.
Speaker 2: I'm mad today.
Speaker 4: But like I've seen a video where somebody took their
Speaker 4: friend's ashes to an EDM show and they like during
Speaker 4: the drop.
Speaker 2: Like it's like.
Speaker 10: And then they just chucked the ashes in the air
Speaker 10: just upwards, not to discuss that, and like I'm like
Speaker 10: other people inhaled that like after they did that, like
Speaker 10: it cuts to them in the in the uber or
Speaker 10: something afterwards they're like, I.
Speaker 2: Think I still got some Travis on my pants. I
Speaker 2: mean really did, They're just everywhere. That's weird.
Speaker 1: You gotta stop doing this stuff. You got to stop
Speaker 1: doing it. I agree with you ceiling in as much
Speaker 1: as if somebody says, hey, this is my favorite park
Speaker 1: take me to the park. It used to be spread
Speaker 1: them in a lace, spread them in like nobody's around,
Speaker 1: or maybe like just a couple of friends around or something.
Speaker 1: But when you start to do this in such a
Speaker 1: public way and then all these other people are around you,
Speaker 1: it involves them in it.
Speaker 2: And I've seen this happening, like, I don't know if
Speaker 2: I can find the video.
Speaker 1: There was one where somebody tossed the ashes over the
Speaker 1: ship and then the ashes all came back on the
Speaker 1: people and the ship nasty.
Speaker 7: My favorite is I think it was a Pink concert
Speaker 7: and someone just threw the entire bag of ashes and
Speaker 7: she's like.
Speaker 3: Is this year, mom?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool to do this.
Speaker 3: I'm in the middle of raiser glass.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You don't need to do this stuff. It's weird, all right,
Speaker 1: Like I get that. There's a lot a lot of
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. Oh one of them was a
Speaker 1: scene in the White Lotus, I guess, But there have
Speaker 1: been a lot of people doing this where they scatter
Speaker 1: the ashes and they blow back of the people's face
Speaker 1: and everybody's.
Speaker 2: Like, look, go and is that the video? Say how
Speaker 2: to scatter ashes? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11: In case you didn't know, I'd probably imagine a loved
Speaker 11: one scattering ceremony as a dignified yet reflective moment for
Speaker 11: family in front grove. If this is your first experience
Speaker 11: with scattering someone's ashes, you probably are worried about. The
Speaker 11: ceremony goes smoothly.
Speaker 1: This is how they do it, man, they get the
Speaker 1: monetization up. Okay out shooting their size. At six hundred
Speaker 1: and five hundred and thirty eight subscribers, seventy one thousand
Speaker 1: views on this video, you know what I wanted to be.
Speaker 2: This is a video somebody should make. All right, anybody
Speaker 2: could take this if they want to.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the cooking video that start normally
Speaker 1: and then turn into a wild parody of themselves that
Speaker 1: but with spreading ashes like in a moment of in
Speaker 1: your moment of grief, make sure that you remember to
Speaker 1: properly spread the ashes of your loved one.
Speaker 2: And it starts out with really good advice.
Speaker 1: Make sure that you were grabbing all of the ashes
Speaker 1: so they're uniquely dispersed across the target situation that you're
Speaker 1: trying to pour the.
Speaker 3: Ashes on, spread your fingers, and then.
Speaker 2: Just toss in a whole bunch of nonsense some other things.
Speaker 2: Sprinkle some on a chicken nugget.
Speaker 7: You want to go, put it in the captain's eyes,
Speaker 7: see what happens and where you into us.
Speaker 1: Toss it in the eyes of an enemy would be
Speaker 1: a good one, and there's lots of options here, but.
Speaker 11: This is I think this is following some basic tips,
Speaker 11: you can have a stress free scattering ceremony.
Speaker 1: Why do I know, big fat no to you guys
Speaker 1: in chat scatter my ashes on the news junkie logo
Speaker 1: and Sean's studio. No, oh no, I don't want a
Speaker 1: bunch of dead, ground up humans in my studio.
Speaker 2: It's weird and I don't want that cause then you
Speaker 2: just end up with a bunch of dead, ground up
Speaker 2: humans in your dicon. Yeah, and I don't want that either.
Speaker 1: I want them completely totally out of my house. I
Speaker 1: feel like they should just throw them away. I don't
Speaker 1: know why they give them to anybody to begin with.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where my mom's ashes are. I
Speaker 1: got them somewhere.
Speaker 3: I think mine's going in a conventic canon.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I think that the best way
Speaker 1: to handle this, well, why not do something sweet every
Speaker 1: once in a while. They'll do some sweet stuff and
Speaker 1: they'll go. We took your mother's ashes and we made
Speaker 1: them in to this small.
Speaker 3: Rock, and they like cool rings.
Speaker 2: Here's a ring.
Speaker 1: Here's a firework. That's a nice one. Oh, the firework
Speaker 1: goes off, goes, but it's so far away it seems
Speaker 1: less gross and stuff.
Speaker 2: Stop doing this stuff, please.
Speaker 11: First spend some time scouting out the location where you
Speaker 11: hope to scatter the ashes.
Speaker 2: Dayton, we'll be.
Speaker 11: Walking to the ceremony. Are you taking a boat offshore?
Speaker 11: Is there access for older family members? Are there rules
Speaker 11: about scattering? She's in the place you have chosen. Next,
Speaker 11: be prepared when you open the urn. Human ashes are
Speaker 11: more like crushed stone than fireplace ash.
Speaker 2: They don't want you to react when you open it up.
Speaker 12: What is this?
Speaker 2: Her teeth are still there? Dat?
Speaker 13: What?
Speaker 2: Like you're going to open it up?
Speaker 14: Like?
Speaker 2: Well, what in the hell? What are we dealing with here?
Speaker 1: I think you know how to do this. I don't
Speaker 1: even think you need the video? Is this one where
Speaker 1: it actually happened? Throwing the ashes of a deceased loved
Speaker 1: one here? She can't even get it out of the content.
Speaker 1: Oh god, oh god, see's in your hair now?
Speaker 3: There's still so much as.
Speaker 2: There having a good time. See that's what you loved
Speaker 2: one once.
Speaker 1: I'm sure these two can't stop laughing right now as
Speaker 1: the ashes of their deceased loved one are flying.
Speaker 2: All over this bridge that they're at right now, at
Speaker 2: least by themselves.
Speaker 1: Joe Anne's on the ledge. It's just it didn't go anywhere.
Speaker 1: I went down like a foot and a half, there's
Speaker 1: Joe Anne. Let's not do this at these public things. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you've spread ashes of a loved enough, Joanne died
Speaker 1: jumping off that bridge, so this is a full circle.
Speaker 1: Let us know what happened. If you've done this or
Speaker 1: I attempted it before, send a dispatch it useunki dot com. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: the ashes thing. People are already sending him in. I
Speaker 1: already got I got a video dispatch somebody talking about this,
Speaker 1: sending your experiences with doing this if if you've on
Speaker 1: this before, or go to tips at the news Junkie
Speaker 1: dot com with your emails on this quick break when
Speaker 1: we come back. We'll get to this at some point
Speaker 1: in time, maybe maybe when we come back with this
Speaker 1: hockey shooting that happened in Rhode Island, which is pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: Updates like crazy and the Nancy Guthrie story, and a
Speaker 1: whole lot more to get into on a busy share
Speaker 1: this show Tuesday and that.
Speaker 2: Is coming up next, and then news Junkie.
Speaker 1: There was a big story that was developing this weekend
Speaker 1: about a shooting during a like a kid's hockey game
Speaker 1: in Rhode Island, and I've got some of this year
Speaker 1: that I.
Speaker 2: Want to go over. It was like high school kids,
Speaker 2: all right, right, yeah, as.
Speaker 1: Young kids like their youth hockey playing out there. I've
Speaker 1: got a rundown on this. Let me bring this up.
Speaker 1: Hang on, here's our rundown. It says Rhode Island hockey
Speaker 1: shooting and this was the home of the Wildcats where
Speaker 1: this took place. And the rundown is on February sixteen,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, a tragic shooting unfolded at the Dennis
Speaker 1: am Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, which isn't Pawtucket
Speaker 1: featured and like family guyant stuff, it is, right, yeah.
Speaker 4: Potatu, I think co hog is fake. But Pawtucket Patriotor
Speaker 4: or Pawtucket pat or.
Speaker 1: Whatever beer right, yeah, yeah, the incident resulted in three
Speaker 1: fatalities at this hockey match, including the shooter, and left
Speaker 1: three others critically injured. The assailant, identified as Robert Dorgan
Speaker 1: also known as Roberto ROBERTA. Esposito, was present to watch
Speaker 1: a family member's game when the violence erupted. Authority suggests
Speaker 1: the attack stems from a family dispute. A bystander's courageous
Speaker 1: intervention helped bring the situation to a swift end.
Speaker 2: So there was like a brave.
Speaker 1: Bystander who who stood up during this hockey match when
Speaker 1: there was an attack underway. It went down about two
Speaker 1: thirty pm Eastern Standard time yesterday during a boys hockey
Speaker 1: game at this arena. The shooter targeted individuals in the stands,
Speaker 1: causing panicum on player and spectators, and he was shooting
Speaker 1: his family members.
Speaker 2: They said.
Speaker 1: A bystander intervened, attempting to subdue the shooter. The assailant
Speaker 1: died from an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound. Two adult
Speaker 1: victims were pronounced dead at the scene. Three others were
Speaker 1: critically injured and transported to Rhode Island Hospital. They've interviewed
Speaker 1: over one hundred witnesses and reviewed video footage.
Speaker 2: I'll get to that in just a.
Speaker 3: Moment, just like a snap or is just coming off
Speaker 3: as premeditated.
Speaker 1: This was a guy who was married and had a
Speaker 1: whole family, including some of the kids that were playing
Speaker 1: in this hockey game, and a couple of years is back,
Speaker 1: the guy went transgender and had a falling out with
Speaker 1: his family and started living as Roberta. And there was
Speaker 1: a lot of issues that led to divorce from this
Speaker 1: arc that this this person went on, and it caused
Speaker 1: a huge rift in the family. And they said, this
Speaker 1: guy going as Roberta used to show up at these
Speaker 1: hockey games like a dress and the whole thing, and
Speaker 1: then just pulled out a gun and started shooting in
Speaker 1: the middle of this hockey game. And you stayed by
Speaker 1: the dump button because I don't know if anybody curses,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Actually, I
Speaker 1: don't even know if there's audio on this, but this
Speaker 1: is the folks on the ice, all right. There's a
Speaker 1: regular hockey game going on. Gunshots. Oh my god, that's
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna go back. That's a lot of shots.
Speaker 3: And that took three of them for people to realize
Speaker 3: what was going on.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, they're playing hockey, and you know, for me,
Speaker 1: I kind of thought it was like when they do
Speaker 1: the thing at during a game where they go dun,
Speaker 1: you know, the crowd like chance along or stomps along.
Speaker 2: But that that was a gunshot. Count them everybody hits
Speaker 2: the deck about it didn't hit that there. I think
Speaker 2: you were dead on about that rhythm.
Speaker 1: It was close to it, right, And then everybody starts panicking.
Speaker 1: All these poor kids are fleeing, my god, up or
Speaker 1: jumping onto the ice and trying to go to the
Speaker 1: other side of the rink to get away from where
Speaker 1: this shooter was. Somebody was subduing this person in the stands.
Speaker 1: Obviously you could hear just the you know, the panic
Speaker 1: and chaos of the crowd in this moment as they
Speaker 1: tried to figure out what the hell just happened. But
Speaker 1: that that was no insignificant amount of shots.
Speaker 2: That was a long one.
Speaker 15: To the reading.
Speaker 2: That's a clip.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like fourteen shots or something. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's said earlier how many rang out, but.
Speaker 2: That was a lot.
Speaker 1: They left three people dead, including the shooter, and three
Speaker 1: more hospitalized, all because this person went to a family
Speaker 1: member's hockey game and then decided to just blow this
Speaker 1: whole thing up. The police chief did not provide further
Speaker 1: details about the shooter and the victims on this story
Speaker 1: from the AP. Let me see what back to the
Speaker 1: rundown and see what else we have. The central issue
Speaker 1: of revolves around a family dispute that escalated into a
Speaker 1: public act of violence. Legal dimensions include the shooter's history
Speaker 1: of family related disputes and potential mental health concerns. In fact,
Speaker 1: I think I have this this shooter's daughter afterwards saying
Speaker 1: like is mentally ill.
Speaker 2: It was very mentally ill.
Speaker 1: Ethnically, the incident raises questions about public safety at family
Speaker 1: events and the adequacy of mental health support systems. This
Speaker 1: is the shooter identified as Robert aka Roberta born in
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine, had a history of family disputes and
Speaker 1: legal issue who is related to gender identity. The investigation
Speaker 1: started shortly after, and now law enforcement is looking into
Speaker 1: this some reactions. Chief of Police Tina Gonkalvez emphasized the
Speaker 1: targeted nature of the event and the ongoing investigation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because this was not just on a whim. They must
Speaker 1: have done this on purpose. They knew exactly what they
Speaker 1: were doing. The mayor expressed sorrow over the tragedy, highlighting
Speaker 1: its impact on the community, the young athletes involved. This
Speaker 1: has gotten a lot of attention afterwards. So what else
Speaker 1: do I have here in terms of the media from this.
Speaker 1: I think this is the same video. Here is the
Speaker 1: police talking afterwards at a press conference. Let's see what
Speaker 1: the officer says. They're asking if it was a transgender person.
Speaker 13: So what I can say right now that we have
Speaker 13: identified the person the sussec by a birth name. The
Speaker 13: birth name was Robert Dorgan. We have also learned that
Speaker 13: the person does go by the name of ROBERTA also
Speaker 13: uses the last name of Esposito. But again that will
Speaker 13: be all confirmed throughout the cost of the investigation. As
Speaker 13: to this status, that really doesn't have anything to do
Speaker 13: with the investigation, all right.
Speaker 1: So they're confirming who this was in the story behind it.
Speaker 1: Now I'm most worried I think about this one. This
Speaker 1: is allegedly the woman who is the daughter of this
Speaker 1: this guy who opened up open fire on this this
Speaker 1: hockey event. Stand by the dump button there because obviously
Speaker 1: this person was very very upset afterwards, and I guess
Speaker 1: they were just talking about the mental illness issues.
Speaker 2: He shot my family and he's dead.
Speaker 14: Now described that shooting suspect as her father. She came
Speaker 14: out of the police department behind me here in tears. Yeah,
Speaker 14: after presumably being interviewed by police.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happened shot?
Speaker 1: Well, she just dropped that kind of like nonchalantly fucking
Speaker 1: by the reporter.
Speaker 2: Yeah. She's like, my father was a shooter. He shot
Speaker 2: my family and now he's dead. She's health this year,
Speaker 2: so yes.
Speaker 14: She goes on to describe those mental health issues a
Speaker 14: little bit more. She says that he had been struggling
Speaker 14: with mental health for quite some time.
Speaker 2: She's she said he was very sick.
Speaker 1: Quote, he was very sick, she said of her father,
Speaker 1: who was allegedly the person behind all of this. And
Speaker 1: that story has exploded all over the place this weekend.
Speaker 1: We'll get your reaction to that, send your dispatches over
Speaker 1: at the news junkie dot com.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: You know that the whole family was there, and then
Speaker 1: you got the family reacting right afterwards. And then because
Speaker 1: it was this game, there was several angles of the
Speaker 1: video just like recording as those shots rang out and
Speaker 1: as people panicked and the kids first they and you
Speaker 1: know something weird to this where probably these kids now
Speaker 1: have seen so many stories like this. I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if a teenager or even preteen in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six has gone through the paces of what would I
Speaker 1: do and if this.
Speaker 2: Happens around me, if this happens like at my school
Speaker 2: or something like.
Speaker 1: They have drills for that now, yeah hockey, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they have like drills in the schools and different things.
Speaker 1: And you probably think about this at some point in time.
Speaker 1: They all hit the deck first, and then they immediately
Speaker 1: started to skate across the ice to go as far
Speaker 1: away as they could from the scene as somebody tackled
Speaker 1: this person and subdued them there on site. So we'll
Speaker 1: get to that and any updates along with that story
Speaker 1: as the show rolls on today. Let's see here we
Speaker 1: got tick quick break, We have Tick quick break. I
Speaker 1: got a lot of ASHES stories coming in.
Speaker 2: I am surprised.
Speaker 1: I'm surprising the amount of ASHES stories that are coming
Speaker 1: into the show. But we'll see what happened in your situations.
Speaker 1: Comparing that to the person at the DAYTONA five hundred
Speaker 1: that thought it would be a good idea to throw
Speaker 1: their ashes on the winning cars as they crossed the
Speaker 1: finish line and they were all crashing.
Speaker 2: So we'll get to your versions of that.
Speaker 1: We've got a lot coming up, including updates in the
Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie case, some very weird ones there, and so
Speaker 1: much more, and it's all coming up next in the
Speaker 1: News Junkie email coming in, this person says I'd like
Speaker 1: to be anonymous, Please to tips at the Newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Anonymous says, when my mother in law died, she was cremated.
Speaker 1: We went to a beach on the east coast of
Speaker 1: Florida right after sunrise. Not many people were around at
Speaker 1: the time. We went near the water. I dug a
Speaker 1: small trench and dump the ashes in the trench. The
Speaker 1: ashes were washed right away when the waves came back
Speaker 1: to the shore. No ashes were inhaled in this story. Sir,
Speaker 1: that is the way to do it, or madam anonymous,
Speaker 1: that is the way to do this. Okay, you do
Speaker 1: this in such a way where it's respectable to other people.
Speaker 1: Don't run out at the Daytona five hundred and throw
Speaker 1: your your pals ashes up in the air and then
Speaker 1: augusta wind brings it back over everybody in the audience
Speaker 1: and they're like.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I'm choking on your friend. Like that is
Speaker 2: just a rude, rude thing to do, all right, it
Speaker 2: seems a little bit rude.
Speaker 7: Thank you for having email another way to perhaps put
Speaker 7: make the ashes, like instead of it being an ash form, Hey,
Speaker 7: you want to put it in this public place, We've
Speaker 7: made it into a coin.
Speaker 1: There's some things like that. Yeah, there's different things like that,
Speaker 1: which I think that's kind of sweet. You can flip
Speaker 1: it into a fountain somewhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do that whatever you got to do with it
Speaker 2: in a soda machine, But like doing it in a
Speaker 2: public place.
Speaker 1: Where where you risk tossing the ashes into the wind
Speaker 1: and then the ashes blow back on other people. I'm
Speaker 1: just not going to get behind that. I'm sorry. Here
Speaker 1: is Michael emailing the show tips to the news Junkie
Speaker 1: dot Com. Happy Fat Tuesday junkies.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right. Yeah, I wonder if Shylah Buff is
Speaker 2: still getting hammered in.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to talk about him.
Speaker 2: You have seen it.
Speaker 1: Buff is like running hog wild in the French Quarter
Speaker 1: for New Orleans.
Speaker 3: Apparently some people are like is he still sober?
Speaker 2: What's going on with this guy Tuesday? So he's probably
Speaker 2: kicking it.
Speaker 1: Up right now, mister Shilah buff. We'll see what happened
Speaker 1: with him in the next episode. Just a bit first off,
Speaker 1: thank you, says the email. I just got off that
Speaker 1: Florida treasure hunt website you were talking about. Yeah, FL
Speaker 1: treasure hunt dot.
Speaker 3: Dot org.
Speaker 1: Are I have to look this backup FL treasure Hunt
Speaker 1: dot gov. FL Treasure Hunt dot gov. Just got off
Speaker 1: that fl treasure hund website and found several claims which
Speaker 1: total around five hundred dollars for me groovy. Regarding ashes, I.
Speaker 2: Remember a story I read in one of my aviation.
Speaker 1: Magazines about a flying club that lost its founding member.
Speaker 1: This person was a fixture of that particular pilot community,
Speaker 1: so they thought it would be an honor to release
Speaker 1: his ashes in the sky. They did so in Assessed
Speaker 1: note one seven to two, which is a single engine,
Speaker 1: four seat aircraft, one of the most common in the
Speaker 1: general aviation world. I'll take your word for it. And
Speaker 1: then Michael continues, They got to a decent altitude and
Speaker 1: the air was common perfect, so the passenger opened the
Speaker 1: window and released the man's ashes. The ash cloud subsequently
Speaker 1: got caught in the prop wash, which rolled it over
Speaker 1: the front of the aircraft and push it pushed it
Speaker 1: into the vents, filling the cockpit and resulting in an
Speaker 1: emergency landing.
Speaker 2: Oh god, chaos.
Speaker 4: Could you imagine if the very last thing that your
Speaker 4: loved one does is take down the rest of you.
Speaker 1: And then those people have wishes for their ashes and
Speaker 1: you're like, no, no, stopping it now, We're stopping it
Speaker 1: now real quickly. I'm in a side tangent off of
Speaker 1: that email because they said groovy and see Lane did
Speaker 1: the groovy Austin Powers thing.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you see the megaviral Austin Powers video over the weekend?
Speaker 4: Oh, I've just really been continually watching the megaviral AI
Speaker 4: star Wars video over the weekend with Natalie Portman.
Speaker 2: I don't think I saw this. What happened with this before?
Speaker 1: I tell you the clip that's going absolutely skywall right now.
Speaker 2: It was talking about needing AI for cancer research. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: and then it just made their boobs real big.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: People were like, this is it? This is what people
Speaker 2: are using AI for right.
Speaker 1: All of the water that it's wasting and the power
Speaker 1: my power bills going up for this the thing I
Speaker 1: was talking about with the groovy baby. This is so
Speaker 1: this is like I would do this if it wudn't
Speaker 1: be so weird to do it. But this guy posted
Speaker 1: a video Chase Hoffer is his name, and he titled
Speaker 1: it yeah baby, Yeah, stay by the dump button again
Speaker 1: if you don't mind Soubrita, because I forgot if he
Speaker 1: cursed in this and I'm just kind of sidetracking in
Speaker 1: real time. But this guy hired an Austin Powers impersonator
Speaker 1: for just himself.
Speaker 3: In his living room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love this just so much. Not a party,
Speaker 2: no nothing.
Speaker 1: He just hires Austin Powers Investigator impersonator and the Austin
Speaker 1: Powers of personatre shows up his house.
Speaker 2: Hey you must be Chase baby, welcome. What a grip
Speaker 2: you have? You must live alone? So what you want
Speaker 2: me to do? Like what I would do with a party.
Speaker 2: He's a pretty good Austin Power It looks the part
Speaker 2: for sure.
Speaker 7: I so love this guy's bit because it's not the
Speaker 7: only person who brings into his living room all the time.
Speaker 1: It's so funny that he's He's hired this guy to
Speaker 1: do this in his living room because and just funny
Speaker 1: that this guy is still doing this in.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty six was a long time ago. And he
Speaker 2: just hires them. And the guy's like, normally I do
Speaker 2: this at parties. You music play you know the song.
Speaker 17: Yes, I come in and say, oh yeah, yeah, So
Speaker 17: how's everybody today?
Speaker 2: Man, this is great. It's said, oh I fell over,
Speaker 2: yeah you go, oh you make a lovely couple. Because
Speaker 2: it's the the boobs he's talking about looking at some
Speaker 2: of these boobs.
Speaker 1: I think what he took to is googling Austin Power lines,
Speaker 1: the Austin Powers impersonator that this guy hired just to
Speaker 1: be at his house.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have him like, uh memorized, but no.
Speaker 3: Nobody has his bit.
Speaker 7: He was just hoping someone with boobs would be there,
Speaker 7: so he's just kind of letting them all out.
Speaker 2: This guy got paid yeah, at a different time. No,
Speaker 2: I don't think, but I understand it. Did you watch
Speaker 2: the super Bowl?
Speaker 1: It's just Austin Powers is giving up, is just sitting
Speaker 1: on the couch, is like, can you watch.
Speaker 2: The Super Bowl?
Speaker 3: I blew out all my lines in the first five minutes.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I love it. That's uh, this is how
Speaker 2: this is how you do things. Now, I would do this.
Speaker 1: But the other side of this is that you're stuck
Speaker 1: hanging out with an Austin powers impersonator for god knows
Speaker 1: how long there you go.
Speaker 2: It says absolutely gone.
Speaker 1: It's someone hiring an Austin powers impersonator to come to
Speaker 1: this empty house. Eventually, they just watched rap videos and
Speaker 1: talked about the Super Bowl as they got acquainted with
Speaker 1: one another. I think you could send all right, a
Speaker 1: couple other things on the ashes front. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: it's very, very surprising to me how many people chimed
Speaker 1: in on this.
Speaker 2: Here is a video dispatch. Let's see, Oh passed away
Speaker 2: in twenty sixty hard to hear you. That's the way
Speaker 2: she was cremated.
Speaker 9: My kids and I decided that we want to go
Speaker 9: up to this place in the mountains called Pretty Place.
Speaker 9: Pretty Place. It's like a chapel, outdoor chapel that's up
Speaker 9: on top of the mountains.
Speaker 2: All right, I's cross.
Speaker 1: Out there and anything.
Speaker 2: So we go up there and my daughter brings her.
Speaker 9: Ashes up there, and my daughter decides she wants to
Speaker 9: throw her mother's ashes off the Pretty Place, which is
Speaker 9: kind of majestic but there's a lot of people out there,
Speaker 9: and she goes over to the.
Speaker 15: Side, around the side where no one is that.
Speaker 9: She throws them and carries all of her ashes to
Speaker 9: the crowded people that were standing and looking at pretty place.
Speaker 16: We heard.
Speaker 2: I think I told the story before, but we heard
Speaker 2: someone saying, oh my god, what is that?
Speaker 16: But yeah it was.
Speaker 1: I said, girls, let's go please, now, yeah, please, let's
Speaker 1: get come on, come on, get the rest of the ashes.
Speaker 1: Let's get that hell out of here. Just a bad
Speaker 1: idea all the way around. One more on this front.
Speaker 1: Here's missy Okay.
Speaker 3: Hey, news junkies.
Speaker 18: My sister and I I took my father's ashes and
Speaker 18: mixed it with some quick crete in a square planter
Speaker 18: box like this, let him set, and then we took
Speaker 18: him out to Stark Lake and Okoe and threw him.
Speaker 2: In oh like concrete. Yeah, okay, all right, you know
Speaker 2: that's better.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna blow back in anybody's face like happened
Speaker 1: at the Daytona five hundred. I mean, that seems like
Speaker 1: a more responsible thing to do. Here's just one more
Speaker 1: happy day news jokie crew. So you're talking about ashes.
Speaker 19: My mom was cremated when she passed from brain cancer
Speaker 19: back last August.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 19: Since then, we have spread some of her ashes at
Speaker 19: Cocoa Beach, Rainbow River and Wiki Watchie River. And I
Speaker 19: will be in Daytona for the race in August, and
Speaker 19: I plan on leaving some. I'm not going to do
Speaker 19: like their mother fools didn't try to throw it in
Speaker 19: front of the cars.
Speaker 2: The area will be some of her ashes. I will
Speaker 2: to probably eight races her. She loved Nascar, and that's
Speaker 2: all I got to say about that. Thank you, Mike,
Speaker 2: appreciate the dispatch.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna do it, just don't make it so
Speaker 1: other people are eating the ashes of your friends or
Speaker 1: family members. And be responsible, please, There's so many people
Speaker 1: that do this stuff. I gave you the example of
Speaker 1: of Disney World and the Haunted Mansion ride. They had
Speaker 1: to literally ban it. They had to tell you, like,
Speaker 1: you can't just come here and the costs.
Speaker 4: That's the problem with that is people want to do
Speaker 4: it anyway. They want to just kind of go rogue.
Speaker 4: It's like Disney World almost you know, it's it's slippery, slow,
Speaker 4: but they almost should have like a way.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like the problem is though, when you do this.
Speaker 1: If the if you go after the person who did it,
Speaker 1: it's like they lost somebody. So like if you punish them,
Speaker 1: people are gonna go, oh my god, how could you
Speaker 1: do this. This person's just nice person, they had a
Speaker 1: loss in their family. Why would you do it? Seems
Speaker 1: mean that you're going after them, but you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing this. You just be responsible with it, for God's sake.
Speaker 1: One of the other things going mega viral over the weekend,
Speaker 1: perhaps one of the worst interview back and forth I've
Speaker 1: ever seen.
Speaker 2: Let me see if I could bring this up here.
Speaker 2: I don't have the clip in front of me, but
Speaker 2: I can't get it.
Speaker 1: Former President Barack Obama was asked about aliens. All right,
Speaker 1: he sat down with some guy, Brian Tyler Cohen is
Speaker 1: his name, and the former president Obama is sitting down
Speaker 1: with him, and the guy asked a question, which is
Speaker 1: a good question to ask anybody that was at the
Speaker 1: level of being president of the United States of America.
Speaker 1: And the guy says, hey, aliens, real or no, you're
Speaker 1: the guy, you were the president, you were in the
Speaker 1: White House, real or no? And Obama says yes and
Speaker 1: then moves past it, and the guy has no.
Speaker 2: Follow up questions.
Speaker 1: Okay, like Obama said yes, he said yes, that there's aliens,
Speaker 1: and then the guys is like, I move along.
Speaker 2: Here's the clip that is just skyrocketed. Are aliens real?
Speaker 16: Uh, they're real, but I haven't seen them, and and
Speaker 16: and they're not being kept in Uh what is it
Speaker 16: fifty one? Uh there's no underground facility unless there's this
Speaker 16: enormous conspiracy and they hit it from the President of
Speaker 16: the United States.
Speaker 20: Maybe what was the first question you wanted answered when
Speaker 20: you became president?
Speaker 2: Where are the aliens?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So he's he asked him as a follow up, what
Speaker 1: was the first question you want to answer? It's like
Speaker 1: the aliens thing, But he did say that aliens are real.
Speaker 1: Right at the beginning, He's like, aliens are real, but
Speaker 1: they're not an area of fifty one.
Speaker 2: Are aliens real?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 16: They're real, but I haven't seen them and and and
Speaker 16: they're not being kept in Uh what is it fifty?
Speaker 2: So he's that they're real, I haven't seen them, right,
Speaker 2: I haven't seen them.
Speaker 1: And Obama clarified after this interview at viral, saying, I
Speaker 1: always try to stick with the spirit of the speed
Speaker 1: round of questions. But since it's gotten attention, let me clarified. Statistically,
Speaker 1: the universe is so vast that the odds are good
Speaker 1: that there's life out there, but the distances between solar
Speaker 1: systems are so great that the chances we've been visited
Speaker 1: by aliens is low. And I saw no evidence during
Speaker 1: my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. That's
Speaker 1: the former President Obama riddly.
Speaker 7: Because there's obviously top secret, classified security levels in which
Speaker 7: there is information that the presidencies, but they are sworn
Speaker 7: to that.
Speaker 3: Secrecy for lifetime, are they not?
Speaker 7: I got the repercussions If he wants to be like,
Speaker 7: I'll tell you everything I saw.
Speaker 2: What would they do to Obama if he really well,
Speaker 2: that's that.
Speaker 7: I'm asking like there or maybe he's just respecting it.
Speaker 7: But there are some secrets he can't just say as
Speaker 7: far as aliens go.
Speaker 1: He's saying, if there are aliens that are secretly kept
Speaker 1: by the United States, then the conspiracy is so big
Speaker 1: that they're keeping the conspiracy also from the president of
Speaker 1: the United States of America. And it's whole bit about
Speaker 1: you know, the universe is expansive. I think he's right
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, I think this is just obvious stuff,
Speaker 1: like there has to be something else out there.
Speaker 2: We can't be the only creatures that are around here.
Speaker 1: Although I do find myself, like I was driving around
Speaker 1: this weekend, I was like, Jesus, Hey, the arguments for
Speaker 1: their being a god grow in front of me all
Speaker 1: the time, the arguments of like seeing that we just
Speaker 1: had a cold snap and a lot of the bushes
Speaker 1: and trees have been hit really hard, and then the
Speaker 1: weather that follows is wine to blow out all the
Speaker 1: dead shrubbery and leaves, followed by rain to wash the
Speaker 1: plants with some water and bring them back around again.
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, wow, you know, all of this
Speaker 1: is just perfect in so many ways. But maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know, Maybe it's just because the happenstance of us
Speaker 1: living here means all of that stuff worked out. I
Speaker 1: think he's probably right. I think there's probably other people
Speaker 1: out there. I don't know what they look like, but
Speaker 1: i'd like to see him.
Speaker 2: I know they look like people.
Speaker 4: I think we're going to be very disappointed because they'll
Speaker 4: be like, we found alien life forms, some tiny, single
Speaker 4: seldom mebas that do nothing. Yeah, or it could be
Speaker 4: something like there's a new movie coming out with Ryan Gosling,
Speaker 4: that real ugly dude in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Mister Gosling is in a in a movie coming out.
Speaker 1: I read the book of this, looked that up. What's
Speaker 1: the name of the movie again.
Speaker 2: I forgot but read them. No, it's not the Notebook
Speaker 2: Alien Edition.
Speaker 1: It's it's about Ryan Gosling being this space traveler and
Speaker 1: he goes way out into space to to do some
Speaker 1: stuff that'll.
Speaker 2: Leave for the movie.
Speaker 3: It's as a Star Wars Starfighter.
Speaker 16: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Hail Mary, Hail Mary Project Hail Mary is the name
Speaker 1: of the book. I read it probably a year or
Speaker 1: two ago, and Ryan Gosling is in this is coming
Speaker 1: out this year and he ends up encountering an alien
Speaker 1: while he's out in space. And you're thinking, oh, alien
Speaker 1: a person. Maybe their sizes are different, maybe they're taller
Speaker 1: or smaller, maybe they have a weird omond shaped head,
Speaker 1: who knows. But the alien in that story was some
Speaker 1: spider like creature that he had to learn to try
Speaker 1: to communicate with. And it makes you think about all that, like,
Speaker 1: if we did encounter aliens, now we have to bridge
Speaker 1: a communication gap with him. Oh, I hope so, I
Speaker 1: hope we get that. I hope we get that story
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. Please, it would be so interesting. All Right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from you sending your dispatches, your emails,
Speaker 1: lots of people talking about ashes.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about ashes, we'll talk.
Speaker 1: About aliens, We'll talk about the updates in the Nancy
Speaker 1: Guthrie case. We'll talk about, of course, this hockey shit
Speaker 1: that went down in Rhode Island over the weekend with
Speaker 1: a shocking footage of that, and so much more. It's
Speaker 1: all coming up next than the news junkie. All Right,
Speaker 1: lots to get into as the show rolls on. I
Speaker 1: think Sea Lane said he ended up watching that docu
Speaker 1: series I was talking about. Yeah, what was the name
Speaker 1: of that against like Scream Murders something.
Speaker 2: Hold on, I'll look at up.
Speaker 1: Uh this it's called The Scream Murder, a true teen
Speaker 1: horror story which podcasts on Hulu.
Speaker 4: They they didn't see him as obsessed with Scream, the
Speaker 4: actual Scream franchise as they just did with horror in general.
Speaker 4: Like there was only one little part where you see
Speaker 4: in the background of the video that they're watching.
Speaker 1: Yes, and they had They did wear masks in the
Speaker 1: killing of this person, but I think they were trying
Speaker 1: to like make it stick this sounding at the time,
Speaker 1: so they called it the Scream Murder.
Speaker 4: It was very well done. I think, like the documentary,
Speaker 4: it's it's weird to say well written because it's about
Speaker 4: a true story, so they didn't write it. But it
Speaker 4: present them at it and presented in a great way
Speaker 4: and just crazy that they would put that stuff on video.
Speaker 1: The Falling Hole on YouTube says the Scream Murder was
Speaker 1: not great. I hard disagree. It's all about story and
Speaker 1: then footage in a case like this, and for this
Speaker 1: the Scream Murder series on Hulu, they had such unbelievable footage.
Speaker 1: They had, Like the guys who were responsible for this
Speaker 1: were taking their cameras around the school and most people
Speaker 1: weren't filming stuff like this, and they were filming people
Speaker 1: all around their school and they were filming themselves. And
Speaker 1: you know, I won't get into all of this stuff
Speaker 1: that they got into, but when you saw that video,
Speaker 1: like Seili said, when they end episode one and they
Speaker 1: go and we found.
Speaker 2: The video, yeah, sort of like a cliffhanger. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: you're like, whoa whoa.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, and then they start showing they start playing
Speaker 1: the video.
Speaker 2: And you're watching like, oh my god, what are these
Speaker 2: what are these guys up to?
Speaker 1: And then it brings in a really interesting argument in
Speaker 1: the final piece of the puzzle, which is like, if
Speaker 1: somebody is a teenager sixteen years old or so and
Speaker 1: they commit a crime like this, should the rest of
Speaker 1: their lives be tossed away? And they make a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of different arguments for, you know, for and against
Speaker 1: why that should be happening. But it's like kind of
Speaker 1: impossible sometimes for me to get pass all the terrible
Speaker 1: things that these people did. Like if you take somebody's
Speaker 1: life away from them, even if you're sixteen years old,
Speaker 1: I think you should suffer the consequences of that, you know, Like,
Speaker 1: and some of these people who have done this have
Speaker 1: been in jail for a very long time.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying if you're a sixteen year.
Speaker 1: Old and you get caught up in a story like
Speaker 1: this and you kill somebody, death penalty automatically.
Speaker 2: I'm not even into that stuff.
Speaker 1: But I do think you should serve a very significant,
Speaker 1: very significant amount of time. And we have far too
Speaker 1: lenient sentences in so many of these cases. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess what about their whole life is thrown away?
Speaker 1: Like okay, what about the person that they killed? Yeah,
Speaker 1: guess who else's life is all?
Speaker 2: You know? Yea, not thrown away, but it's not there.
Speaker 7: There was something that I found very interesting though, and
Speaker 7: I think I would assume that we could all attest
Speaker 7: to it that your mind does change significantly between the
Speaker 7: ages of sixteen and thirty six.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean they're.
Speaker 7: Saying that sixteen or you know, teenagers, especially folks like
Speaker 7: those two did not like their brain does not process
Speaker 7: what the consequences truly are, what killing is.
Speaker 2: I think you're going back to school.
Speaker 1: I think a sixteen year old, just the average sixteen
Speaker 1: year old, knows full well what killing somebody is. And
Speaker 1: these particular teams in the screen murder wanted to do
Speaker 1: it because it excited them, Like it literally excited them.
Speaker 1: It's the worst kind of horrific thing that you could do.
Speaker 1: And in that case, when you know what you're doing,
Speaker 1: you're depriving somebody else of life and their family members
Speaker 1: never get to see them again. When you come whining
Speaker 1: about it like woah afterwards, like oh, no, thirty years
Speaker 1: in prison or life in prison. I mean, it's just like, hey,
Speaker 1: you killed somebody. That's how it goes. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to feel bad.
Speaker 2: For you afterwards.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch Gallainne Maxwell just completely and utterly melting
Speaker 1: down in her prison cell, wandering around because she couldn't
Speaker 1: take the idleness of prison.
Speaker 2: I didn't feel bad because this is what you have
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 1: That when people do stuff like this, they have to
Speaker 1: face the consequences, even if they're sixteen years old, as
Speaker 1: they were in this case.
Speaker 2: But check it out. I think it was.
Speaker 4: It was pretty enjoyable speaking, which is interesting speaking of
Speaker 4: Julane Maxwell or Gallanan or however you say her name.
Speaker 4: I've been seeing a lot of posts and stuff about
Speaker 4: this Wasserman dude. I think it was Wasserman that he
Speaker 4: had the talent agency and a lot of the bands
Speaker 4: that started he is stepping down from the talent agency but.
Speaker 2: Selling the whole thing. He's selling his old agents.
Speaker 4: A lot of the bands that were represented by them
Speaker 4: were starting to like back off and and drop out.
Speaker 4: I thought I saw last week while we were finishing
Speaker 4: up the show, like Dispatch, one of the was one
Speaker 4: of the bands that said like, we're we're gonna part
Speaker 4: ways with this, you know, because we don't like the situation.
Speaker 4: And I read and I think it was this was
Speaker 4: the guy I read into and I saw the emails
Speaker 4: that he was uh uh, you know, sending back and
Speaker 4: forth with Glene Maxwell, and I was like, this sounds
Speaker 4: like he's flirting with her.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of people who are either aiming
Speaker 1: things directly at her as opposed to Epstein, or you know,
Speaker 1: like more like there's a lot of weird stuff in there.
Speaker 4: But but I go, you know, if if he didn't
Speaker 4: know anything else that was going on, maybe he did,
Speaker 4: you know, who knows what what the timeline was. But
Speaker 4: I was just like, here are the salacious emails he sent,
Speaker 4: And I was like, these have nothing to do with kids,
Speaker 4: unless I'm unless I'm reading the wrong thing here, but
Speaker 4: this is just you flirting with a really, really, extremely
Speaker 4: bad person.
Speaker 1: But it's like you said way back when, when it
Speaker 1: comes to this, at this point, it's so filthy, this
Speaker 1: story and so bad that anybody even attached to it.
Speaker 2: You can't explain your way out. Maybe you should be
Speaker 2: able to. I don't I'm not saying that you shouldn't.
Speaker 2: I think John Stewart's going to be Okay, John.
Speaker 1: Stewart was mentioning him, but like this, that one wasn't
Speaker 1: necessarily his fault. It was just a mention in passing
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But there is a growing list of
Speaker 1: people who have stepped down from their jobs as a
Speaker 1: result of being Those are the only people. Nobody've arrested,
Speaker 1: no charges, no nothing, with all this stuff going on
Speaker 1: and all of the claims that have been made over
Speaker 1: these Epstein files. But there are a handful of people
Speaker 1: who have lost their jobs in the last couple of days.
Speaker 1: So geez, how are they ever going to survive? Just very,
Speaker 1: very tough times for them. Okay, one other thing I
Speaker 1: wanted to get into real quick. Let's see, we don't
Speaker 1: have time for a couple of these. We have the
Speaker 1: next episode coming up in just a bit. I did see,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to address this because I think it's
Speaker 1: It's funny, even to this day, I see every company
Speaker 1: on social media in the food world trying to emulate
Speaker 1: the Wendy's account.
Speaker 2: They're really they all try to emulate the Wendy's voice.
Speaker 1: Denny's has been hard on this in the last couple
Speaker 1: of months in particular, Is it possible?
Speaker 2: And I mean would this would they even do this?
Speaker 4: Like say Denny's sees what Wendy's is doing and says,
Speaker 4: I want to emulate that. They could hire the same
Speaker 4: marketing firm and say give us the same thing you're
Speaker 4: doing with Wendy's. I mean, I guess so would they
Speaker 4: have any obligation to Wendy's to not do that because
Speaker 4: it would sort of kind of depends on what they're
Speaker 4: or down the whole idea.
Speaker 1: This post got two point five million views. This is
Speaker 1: Denny's trying to like channel that whole Wendy's vibe on
Speaker 1: social media. And Denny said on Valentine's Day, we love you,
Speaker 1: but do not bring your girl here today. Right, They're
Speaker 1: like really trying to get this sort of like this
Speaker 1: voice that Wendy's has. And as I see this, I'm
Speaker 1: going do the people who run these establishments not know
Speaker 1: what's going on at Wendy's. Like Wendy's is in freefall,
Speaker 1: Wendy's is cratering right now, and there's still companies like
Speaker 1: we should really try to emulate the voice that they
Speaker 1: use on social media. Well, I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: solely responsible for their failure. Although the timing line is
Speaker 1: up pretty nice, but.
Speaker 4: Having some viral tweets is not going to be the
Speaker 4: life raft for your business that you think it could be.
Speaker 1: Well, because they're falling apart, Wendy's added to announce on yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yesterday came out Wendy's is closing hundreds of restaurants this year,
Speaker 1: hundreds of restaurants and what their interim CEO, Can Cook
Speaker 1: calls a rebuilding year is his quote. And that's the
Speaker 1: thing that's still emulated by all these people. You can
Speaker 1: push the timeline and see that that hasn't worked. I
Speaker 1: don't think people really. I think people think it's funny
Speaker 1: on social media and people like how clever it is,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it works. I don't think it works.
Speaker 1: I don't think people to understand social media advertising enough
Speaker 1: to realize this. They're like, just because something gets attention
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's gonna put asses in seats and bring
Speaker 1: people into Wendy's. Wendy's is cratering. They're falling apart, they're floundering,
Speaker 1: and Denny's is like we should be like them. Good
Speaker 1: good luck, good luck, man.
Speaker 4: I mean, I just think it's like you read some
Speaker 4: of their tweets and go, that's funny, I'm gonna follow them.
Speaker 4: It does It's not that's funny. I want to I
Speaker 4: want uh, I'm gonna you know, Dave's single or whatever, right, yeah,
Speaker 4: or Grand Slam of Denny's. You just most people don't
Speaker 4: react that way.
Speaker 1: But we have a we have confused attention with good marketing.
Speaker 1: Those two are not always one and the same. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you get a windfall of attention and it doesn't equal
Speaker 1: anything good for your business.
Speaker 2: So they're hiding themselves in the back.
Speaker 1: But now they're just absolutely floundering out there.
Speaker 4: What they should be trying to emulate is whatever happened
Speaker 4: with Popeye's and that damn chicken sandwich a couple of
Speaker 4: years ago.
Speaker 1: But people were getting shot over that was wild. That
Speaker 1: got so wild that they wanted to Tampa down. They're like,
Speaker 1: there's too much excitement for our chicken sandwich right now.
Speaker 2: Literally people dying, all right?

Speaker 1: You know, did you guys see do you guys see
Speaker 1: the clip this weekend of some dude? It was like
Speaker 1: an Israeli dude who was I think he was doing
Speaker 1: the bob sled And as the commentator was talking during
Speaker 1: the bob sled thing, he was the whole you know,
Speaker 1: the bob sled's twisting and turning through this whole track,
Speaker 1: and the whole time the commentators like, here are some
Speaker 1: comments he made about the genocide and Guzza and he said,
Speaker 1: this is the most The whole thing was about how
Speaker 1: the bob sled guy from israel I had like made
Speaker 1: comments about Gaza and I mean.
Speaker 2: The whole time I don't know the whole route.
Speaker 1: Twist and turns like he's an out zion Is he's

Speaker 7: Because we're not qualified. I'm sorry to say it, but
Speaker 7: we are not qualified to be in the Olympics. But
Speaker 7: I'll be damned if we're not qualified.
Speaker 3: For Marti Gras.
Speaker 7: Baby, Yeah, I wish I could say the same for
Speaker 7: and maybe. I mean, there's a lot more to get into,
Speaker 7: and unfortunately I'm running out of time.
Speaker 3: But Shaia had himself a good time. It started out
Speaker 3: with he's out partying.
Speaker 7: And then headlines turned into he's terrorizing New Orleans during
Speaker 7: Marty Gross and the latest fresh off the press here
Speaker 7: at HQ, he punched a bar employee and was held
Speaker 7: down before being arrested and sent to jail in New Orleans.
Speaker 4: That not one of the pictures they have of him arrested,
Speaker 4: Like you could tell he's looking right at the person
Speaker 4: taking the pictures.
Speaker 3: Tell me that it's her role. Tell me that he's
Speaker 3: going to be in a new movie, and it's got
Speaker 3: all the character.
Speaker 2: I got a couple of is this tmz once censored.
Speaker 12: I hope.
Speaker 1: So he's on the streets. He's got a wacky hat
Speaker 1: on just by himself. Yeah, Shiowa Buff with like a
Speaker 1: toilet paper roll on his on his helmet or something.
Speaker 2: They're running on some.
Speaker 3: Lady's back, touching random people.
Speaker 1: He's got a beer in his hand. All right, so
Speaker 1: far away, all right? Yeah, this is kind of circling
Speaker 1: the crowd there.
Speaker 3: And then I believe I sent you the arrest footage.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: The other one that I have says arrest hospital Shila
Speaker 1: La Buff taking the hospital following arrest in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: This is insane.
Speaker 12: Shia Buff is in the ambulance.
Speaker 2: I don't want to get mad and like crash out
Speaker 2: on me. That's it. Oh, there he is, there, he is.
Speaker 2: I have I have this. I don't know if this
Speaker 2: is going to help us ot all. I'm gonna mute it.
Speaker 1: But I guess this is him outside of one of
Speaker 1: the bars after he got kicked out and there was
Speaker 1: like some sort of fight. Shila Buff right there. Somebody's
Speaker 1: pushing him on the streets. No, it's not looking for anyone.
Speaker 7: Do the math, but I feel like there is a
Speaker 7: particular amount of years between him being chill and stuff
Speaker 7: like this happening. Yes, it's always outside bar he's by himself.
Speaker 7: He's louder than everyone else, according to witnesses. And he
Speaker 7: found himself in just one weekend, band barred and in
Speaker 7: handcuffs and I guess a little bit of hospital.
Speaker 2: Maybe he did have friends with him and then he
Speaker 2: just started going full shy and they were like, bah, God,
Speaker 2: what a mess.
Speaker 3: All right, And then I'll leave you with this because
Speaker 3: it's Marty Gras related. Please welcome. I didn't even know
Speaker 3: this is the thing. The Aussie Parade in New Orleans.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I was there a couple of years ago
Speaker 7: for the Chewbacca parade, right before a lot of parades.
Speaker 3: And now we've got the Aussie one.
Speaker 7: And I sent you the pictures in one Crazy Trains.
Speaker 2: They're all wearing the same Assi shirt.

Speaker 1: show today. Also, I've got some updates and I know
Speaker 1: some people are like, well, I'm over this whole thing.
Speaker 1: What's happening with this Nancy Guthrie story. There's a whole
Speaker 1: bunch that has developed over the weekend, So in case
Speaker 1: you missed it, we'll get to that in this next hour.
Speaker 1: And Stephen Colbert is really mad and the whole thing
Speaker 1: kind of involves the show and I heart and a
Speaker 1: weird way. So we'll get into what's going on with
Speaker 1: that drama because that is coming up next. In the
Speaker 1: news Junkie, the Team Canada curling controversy is kind of
Speaker 1: crazy actually, and it's exploded into a bigger story. I
Speaker 1: have a mini rundown on this and I'll take a
Speaker 1: look at it here. But if you haven't been paying
Speaker 1: attention in the Milan Courtina Winter Olympics right now, there's
Speaker 1: been a huge controversy in both the men's and the
Speaker 1: women's curling world which I was thinking about that. I
Speaker 1: was like, why is that a sport where they separate
Speaker 1: the men and the women. It seems like you could
Speaker 1: have a pretty even playing field. But I thought I
Speaker 1: saw that they did have men and women on the
Speaker 1: same team. And do they have like a curling I
Speaker 1: don't know if they have mixed, but I know that
Speaker 1: the men's and women's That's where I'm getting this from.
Speaker 1: Both have had cheating controversy issues with curling in the Olympics.
Speaker 1: And here's the rundown. At the twenty twenty six Malon
Speaker 1: Courtina Winter Olympics. This sport of curling, traditionally known for
Speaker 1: its sportsmanship and precision, became the center of a heated
Speaker 1: controversy involving the Canadian men's and women's team.
Speaker 3: Sorry.
Speaker 1: Allegations of rule violations, specifically double touching the curling stone
Speaker 1: oh No, led to tense exchanges between athletes, official interventions,
Speaker 1: and widespread media attention.
Speaker 4: Okay, they have men's women's and mixed doubles, so they
Speaker 4: do okay. Interesting, they do have a mixed version of it.
Speaker 4: This happened on February thirteenth, was the beginning of this.
Speaker 4: During a men's round robin match between Canada and Sweden,
Speaker 4: Swedish curler Oscar Ericsson accused Canadian third Mark Kennedy of
Speaker 4: double touching the stone. That means when and curling when
Speaker 4: they slide that stone, Well, if you are trying to
Speaker 4: slow it down or move it in another direction, you
Speaker 4: can use the.
Speaker 2: Brush and stuff by it.
Speaker 1: And they're screaming you can't touch it, you cannot touch it,
Speaker 1: and the Canadians keep cheating and touching it, and they
Speaker 1: were planning on this. The Swedish team was like, I
Speaker 1: know the Canadians are cheaters. They're cheaters, so they've set
Speaker 1: up a.
Speaker 2: Camera to catch the Canadians cheating and they did.
Speaker 4: Isn't that camera already there? Like you think that this
Speaker 4: would be the easiest thing to catch somebody doing. Touching
Speaker 4: the stone again, like it's almost like a foul in bowling,
Speaker 4: you know, you step over that little line. There's cameras
Speaker 4: for that.
Speaker 1: Well, they have cameras, but they were aware of where
Speaker 1: the cameras were, and they were kind of hiding where
Speaker 1: they were double touching, and so the Swede said, let's
Speaker 1: set up a camera to catch them that they're not
Speaker 1: angling for and they caught them doing it. And when
Speaker 1: they called out the Canadians, this Canadian guy starts cursing.
Speaker 1: He starts cursing up a storm. He's like, I haven't
Speaker 1: done it. You can f off, and the World Curling
Speaker 1: Organization issued a verbal warning to Kennedy for inappropriate language
Speaker 1: during the incident. He got in trouble for that more
Speaker 1: than the cheating, which is hilarious. In a women's match
Speaker 1: against Switzerland, Canadians skip Rachel Homan was penalized for double
Speaker 1: touching a stone. The Canadians are cheaters. They're cheaters and Curling.
Speaker 1: The umpire removed the stone from play, a decision home
Speaker 1: and contests and saying I don't understand the call.
Speaker 2: I've never understood it. We've never done that.
Speaker 1: Curling clarified the rules on Sunday, saying during forward motion,
Speaker 1: touching the granite of the stone is not allowed. This
Speaker 1: will result in the stone being removed from play. But
Speaker 1: that's what they kept doing. They kept touching it like
Speaker 1: slowing it down trying to stop it. You cannot do that.
Speaker 1: And the Canadians have been cheating at this so much
Speaker 1: so that the other teams are aware of it and
Speaker 1: watching them.
Speaker 2: This is supposed to be a gentleman's game. It's curling,
Speaker 2: for God's sake.
Speaker 4: I mean, I get the reason to want to cheat,
Speaker 4: but I don't think I would feel as accomplished.
Speaker 3: You know, in the curling world.
Speaker 7: But I do love that, after all of these years,
Speaker 7: that there's finally some drama. And on top of that,
Speaker 7: like audio of this guy cursing on live television.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the drama wasn't even just isolated to that, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: I was watching a little of the Inside speed skating
Speaker 1: last night, and this strategy appears to be this. In
Speaker 1: each race, you have like four or five people who
Speaker 1: line up and they got that little oval track inside
Speaker 1: and they speed skate and they're like, you know, cut
Speaker 1: real close in the corners, like looping around, and almost
Speaker 1: everyone I saw, one of the competitors would slip and
Speaker 1: trip and knock everybody else out, and then the last
Speaker 1: person standing would skate across on his own and would
Speaker 1: just finish all by themselves and scoot in for the wind.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know if this is
Speaker 1: orchestrated or not, but almost all of these different events
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing happen with this indoor skating or speed skating,
Speaker 1: everybody falls except for one person, and then they just
Speaker 1: keep going around and then boom they get an easy win.
Speaker 7: Did you see the guy who got knocked right in
Speaker 7: the penis? No, yeah, ends off my penis, alpines whatever.
Speaker 7: It's very fast downhill, I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 3: And the guy was doing.
Speaker 7: Great, took a curve and you could hear it audibly
Speaker 7: despite how far away that camera and microphone was, of
Speaker 7: him getting smacked so hard and growing. And then of
Speaker 7: course the anchors are like, if you're a man, you
Speaker 7: could feel it.
Speaker 3: I'm loving the Winter Olympics so far.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you that I watched a very nerdy video
Speaker 4: over the weekend of how they produce a lot of
Speaker 4: that Winter Olympics footage and stuff. Yeah, the announcers are
Speaker 4: in Stanford, Connecticut, what not the NBC Sports building they
Speaker 4: was watching on TV. They have, you know, you said,
Speaker 4: like the camera and microphones are so far away, they
Speaker 4: have so many microphones like everywhere around the place, but
Speaker 4: it's all sent back to Connecticut at the NBC Sports Building,
Speaker 4: like four thousand tracks of audio in real time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I told you guys about the one.
Speaker 1: Where the Israeli Bob sleder went around, and the entire
Speaker 1: time the commentator.
Speaker 2: Was just like, uh, I'll give you some of this hands.
Speaker 2: Oh it's another language.
Speaker 1: They said, there's still one more Bob to see from
Speaker 1: Israeli Adam Eedelman.
Speaker 2: All right, this is this is not the American broadcast here,
Speaker 2: and they push off. They've got, you know, the Jewish
Speaker 2: star star David on the side of their Bob sled.
Speaker 1: He says he's a self defined Zionist to the core
Speaker 1: I quote who has posted several posts on social networks
Speaker 1: in favor of the genocide in Gaza.
Speaker 2: Now, I mean find you they're not doing good either.
Speaker 2: They're on the wall.
Speaker 1: The Bob sled is going around this entire time, and
Speaker 1: they're like, this is genocide is used by the UN Commission.
Speaker 2: All the time.
Speaker 1: The entire time that they were going on their Bob
Speaker 1: sled run, the commentator was just talking about the fact
Speaker 1: that this person was controversial in their statements about like
Speaker 1: Gaza and then they slid into the end. And so
Speaker 1: that was another thing that was getting some attention from
Speaker 1: the UH, from the news coverage and the Olympics coverage
Speaker 1: as well. Okay, the other thing I teased this before
Speaker 1: the break, but Stephen Colbert, who's on the way out.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many months the guy's left, but yeah,
Speaker 1: a couple of months left, handful of months left for
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert on CBS. And then they said, look, the
Speaker 1: show's too expensive. We're just gonna have to sunset this.
Speaker 1: Mark my words, this is the beginning of the end
Speaker 1: for all of these late night guys. And then Steven
Speaker 1: Colbert came out last night and talked about how I
Speaker 1: guess CBS didn't want him to do an interview. There
Speaker 1: was a certain interview that he wanted to do, and
Speaker 1: they're like, CBS doesn't want us to do this anymore,
Speaker 1: and let me see if I can bring this up
Speaker 1: Colbert talking about this, because Colbert he kind of introduced
Speaker 1: who was going to be on the show, and he said,
Speaker 1: we also were supposed to have this person on the show,
Speaker 1: but we couldn't do it because our network told us
Speaker 1: not to.
Speaker 2: All right, I think, is this it? No, this isn't it.
Speaker 2: This is a different one here.
Speaker 4: The way he's wording it, it sounds like he did
Speaker 4: the interview and CBS wouldn't air it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, CBS refused to air my interview and
Speaker 1: then they posted it online.
Speaker 4: Is it here?
Speaker 2: He is talking about one of.
Speaker 12: My guests tonight. That's Texas State Representative James Tallerico, CBS County.
Speaker 12: He was supposed to.
Speaker 20: Be here, but we were told, in no uncertain terms
Speaker 20: by our network's lawyers.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this ties into iHeartRadio in just seconds
Speaker 1: directly that.
Speaker 12: We could not have him on the broadcast.
Speaker 20: Then then I was told in some uncertain terms that
Speaker 20: not only could I not have him on, I could
Speaker 20: not mention me not having him on. And because my
Speaker 20: network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's
Speaker 20: talk about this, okay.
Speaker 1: So Colbert comes out and he's like, they won't let
Speaker 1: me have this guy on the network said no, and
Speaker 1: everybody's booing the network, et.
Speaker 2: Cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Here's what's actually going on, all right, here's what's actually
Speaker 1: going on in this story. This James Tallerico, guy who
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert wanted to have on his show is currently
Speaker 1: running for office. The FCC has been pushing the fair
Speaker 1: time regulations that they kind of have left alone for
Speaker 1: a while. But technically, if you have one political candidate
Speaker 1: for office on, you are supposed to offer up time
Speaker 1: an equal amount of time to anybody that they're running against,
Speaker 1: So you can't play favorites. And Stephen Colbert was told
Speaker 1: by CBS, hey, if you want to have this James
Speaker 1: Tallarico guy on, you have to open it up for
Speaker 1: his opponents who are running against him in this election. Now,
Speaker 1: I said that this brings iHeartMedia and I Radio into
Speaker 1: the equation. We literally just got the same message from
Speaker 1: the suits. They said, look, if you are going to
Speaker 1: be trying to interview anybody who's a politician, you have
Speaker 1: to offer time an equal amount of time to anybody
Speaker 1: that they're running up against.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 1: Now, this is not something that has happened on certainly
Speaker 1: any of these late night shows. They have like the
Speaker 1: same dozen or so people from the Democratic Party on
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. And if they want
Speaker 1: to do that, if somebody's running for office in particular,
Speaker 1: you have to have you have to invite on the
Speaker 1: other people who are running.
Speaker 4: This didn't come up before the latest presidential election though,
Speaker 4: with Saturday Night Live, because they had Kamala Harris on
Speaker 4: the show and she was like a surprise special guest
Speaker 4: and it was very much vote for me kind of
Speaker 4: deal there, and then NBC had to turn around and
Speaker 4: air a couple of Trump ads.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's like for free, yeah, because
Speaker 2: that's be the same. You have to do it at
Speaker 2: the same rate.
Speaker 17: Right.
Speaker 12: The change was.
Speaker 7: Late Night was not involved in that for the years prior,
Speaker 7: like it's been a longstanding fair I forget what it's
Speaker 7: called fair something, but late night and parody and I
Speaker 7: thought streaming whatever was not part until January.
Speaker 3: This past year.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, people are saying, why would comedy be attached
Speaker 1: to this because the late night shows it doesn't really
Speaker 1: matter that much. It's about if you're governed by the FCC,
Speaker 1: which is only stuff that goes over the airwaves like CBS,
Speaker 1: NBC those kind of things or radio stations, you cannot
Speaker 1: it's called equal time. And if you have somebody on
Speaker 1: from one party, like they have Democrats on, let's say,
Speaker 1: on The Colbert Show, you can do that. Steven Colbert
Speaker 1: absolutely could have done it, but he's lying to say
Speaker 1: he was. And unless CBS said we don't want you
Speaker 1: interviewing anybody political at all, he's lying because they would
Speaker 1: just say, hey, you can have this guy on, but
Speaker 1: you also have to have his opponent on, because that's
Speaker 1: how this works. And the FCC hasn't really done much
Speaker 1: about this, but the equal opportunities rule. Here's an inside
Speaker 1: industry piece on this. It says the fairness doctrine may
Speaker 1: be dead, but it's a regulatory cousin. The equal opportunities
Speaker 1: requirement remains alive on the books. This is from Inside Radio,
Speaker 1: and Federal Communications Commission is leaning on that rule as
Speaker 1: it issues a reminder that not all talk shows are
Speaker 1: exempt from its requirements. While the focus is on daytime
Speaker 1: television programs like The View and late night talk show,
Speaker 1: the equal opportunities requirement is the same for both radio
Speaker 1: and television stations, and it could ripple through both in
Speaker 1: the long term. The equal opportunities requirement comes into play
Speaker 1: in a campaign setting. Typically, it means that if a
Speaker 1: talk show has a guest on from one party, it
Speaker 1: gives the person from the other party the same opportunity
Speaker 1: to appear on the show as long as they meet
Speaker 1: the guidelines for a legally qualified candidate. News coverage is exempt,
Speaker 1: So if you're like NBC News or CBS News or whatever,
Speaker 1: and you report on somebody who happened to be a candidate,
Speaker 1: you don't have to offer that same thing up to
Speaker 1: the other side. But this is a comedy show, and
Speaker 1: they don't want people favoring one candidate over the other
Speaker 1: and people not getting fair access to these audiences. And
Speaker 1: now they're saying that they're pushing on this, and I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, we did get a message from the suits
Speaker 1: about this exact issue. I don't remember if it said
Speaker 1: don't interview any politicians, but I think it was pretty
Speaker 1: pretty clear in saying, if you do invite somebody on
Speaker 1: the show, got I know about it because we have
Speaker 1: to offer up opportunity to the people that they're running against,
Speaker 1: which is only for like I said, stuff that's on
Speaker 1: the public airways, cable news. You could do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: The Daily Show will not be told you have to
Speaker 1: bring on the opponents for whatever amount of time. Satellite
Speaker 1: radio won't be told. You know, here's who you have
Speaker 1: to have on what this is done. But if you
Speaker 1: are on traditional broadcast airwaves, this is a rule that
Speaker 1: impacts you. And honestly, it's probably a decent thing to have,
Speaker 1: Like otherwise, it's just like, oh, everybody who's who hosts
Speaker 1: these shows is on this side. So we're only going
Speaker 1: to hear one view on this, and we're going to
Speaker 1: give an extra push to this person that they are
Speaker 1: ideologically aligned with. But that's what's going on. I think
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert is being a little dishonest.
Speaker 2: There. There are people saying that he talked about that
Speaker 2: part about the equal time.
Speaker 1: Let me give them a little more here because I
Speaker 1: stopped him. Let me see what else he says.
Speaker 12: You might have heard of this thing called the equal
Speaker 12: time rule.
Speaker 20: Okay, it's an old FCC rule that applies only to
Speaker 20: radio on broadcast television, not cable or streaming, that says,
Speaker 20: if a show has a candidate on during an election,
Speaker 20: they have to have all that candidate's opponents on as well.
Speaker 2: By the way, look and that's not it.
Speaker 1: You don't have to have all that candidate opponents that
Speaker 1: you have to offer equal time to whoever else it
Speaker 1: would be interested in doing it. This James Tallerico, guy,
Speaker 1: can you look him up Sea line. What's this guy
Speaker 1: running for?
Speaker 2: All right? What is he running for?
Speaker 1: Because that's the actual person that he wanted to have on.
Speaker 1: Why he was on or why they were trying to
Speaker 1: get him on, I don't really know.
Speaker 20: It's the FCC's most time honored rule, right after no
Speaker 20: nipples at the super Bowl. There's long been an exception
Speaker 20: for this rule, an exception for news interviews and talk
Speaker 20: show interviews with politicians.
Speaker 12: Now that's crucial.
Speaker 20: How else were voters supposed to know back in ninety
Speaker 20: two the Bill Clinton sucked at Saxophone.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm Felix on YouTube, says iHeartRadio. The
Speaker 1: last two elections ran nothing but Republican ads. I never
Speaker 1: once heard Kamala Harris or President Biden ads. They were
Speaker 1: all Trump ads and other Republicans running for office. We
Speaker 1: have to take those ads. See a lot of this
Speaker 1: is people just not understanding how it works. If the
Speaker 1: politicians come to us, we have to offer them. I
Speaker 1: think it's called like a fair market rate on political ads.
Speaker 1: And it depends on what state you're on what you heard.
Speaker 1: So if you're in Florida and Republicans were thinking, well,
Speaker 1: Florida is a very competitive state for US. They would
Speaker 1: throw a lot of their budget at it, and they
Speaker 1: would buy up a lot of ads.
Speaker 2: We can't overcharge them for those ads. We have to
Speaker 2: run those ads.
Speaker 1: We really can't turn down those ads unless there's something
Speaker 1: super specific about it that makes it so we can
Speaker 1: refuse to air it. And the Democrats had every right
Speaker 1: ever or any opposing candidates to run whatever ads they
Speaker 1: wanted against it. But they still have to pay for it.
Speaker 1: They have to pay a fair market rate. They still
Speaker 1: have to pay for it. Well, it's about where they're
Speaker 1: spending their money. They if you were in another state,
Speaker 1: you might add to the opposite happen.
Speaker 4: That's what I started to say about the SNL. Thing
Speaker 4: about the fair market rate is that I think because
Speaker 4: when they had Kamala Harris on one of the last
Speaker 4: episodes of SNL before the election, and she got her time,
Speaker 4: I think because they didn't charge her to go on there.
Speaker 4: They then had to run Trump ads for free, which.
Speaker 1: Yes, because they had to offer him up something similar
Speaker 1: and the rate which is nothing right right is running
Speaker 1: for US Senate for Texas, US Senate candidate for Texas,
Speaker 1: And I don't know why that person like popped up
Speaker 1: and Stephen Colbert wanted to interview him. I think he's
Speaker 1: going to argue like they haven't been enforcing this previously.
Speaker 1: But I mean, that's that's the target. That's how it works.
Speaker 1: It's on broadcasts. This affects us if it's just somebody,
Speaker 1: like if I wanted to have on, let's say Barack
Speaker 1: Obama right now, we could have Barack Obama on and
Speaker 1: there's nothing tied to it at all. But if you
Speaker 1: want to have somebody who's actively running for office, you
Speaker 1: can't just pick the candidate and then snub the other
Speaker 1: person so they don't get any attention at all.
Speaker 2: That's not how it works. Does that only apply to
Speaker 2: the candidate themselves?
Speaker 4: Or you know, you use Barack Obama as a as
Speaker 4: an example, if we had him on but he was
Speaker 4: only here to talk about James tallerco for Senate, Like
Speaker 4: at that point, are we having to offer that to
Speaker 4: the other side.
Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to that. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: Like if it's blatantly an appearance on behalf of the
Speaker 1: person but they're not actually there, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's the same thing because you're still kind of giving
Speaker 1: time to that person. You're just you know, doing it
Speaker 1: through an intermediary, although you know as well as I do.
Speaker 1: That's incredibly common too, Like around election time, all the
Speaker 1: celebrities and stuff will come out and they'll go, hey,
Speaker 1: this person's available, this person's available, and then they come
Speaker 1: to speak about whatever candidate they're supporting. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: how that plays in. See if you can find out
Speaker 1: more about that.
Speaker 4: Well, the super worried about Brendan Carr right now just being,
Speaker 4: according to NBC News, particularly combative with networks that draw
Speaker 4: the iron ire of the president.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I could tell you without a doubt,
Speaker 2: and you know that I'm telling the truth here.
Speaker 1: They are not alone. They have sent we have been
Speaker 1: sent these same warnings that if you interview somebody who
Speaker 1: is actively participating in election, you cannot just choose somebody
Speaker 1: or like I like this person. You have to offer
Speaker 1: it up to the other folks as well. Now you
Speaker 1: can decide whether you think that's fair or unfair. Hit
Speaker 1: us up with a dispatch over at the Newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: But that's what's happening in this particular case. All right,
Speaker 1: quick break, when we come back, we'll get geared up
Speaker 1: for before too long. Here the updates, because there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of them. In the Nancy Guthrie case, i'll put
Speaker 1: that in jury duty and a shocking incident.
Speaker 2: Shocking. There was two of them.
Speaker 1: Really one was way more grizzly than the other. But
Speaker 1: a shocking incident on the dat Ton of Beach.
Speaker 2: Boardwalk this weekend. What happened?
Speaker 1: Wait till you hear the details on this that's coming
Speaker 1: up next in the news junk Kie. One thing that
Speaker 1: that I have seen a little bit of buzz about
Speaker 1: which is kind of interesting to discuss, is there's a
Speaker 1: an olympian who's allegedly going to be making like a
Speaker 1: million bucks for the tiniest thing that she did. All right, this,
Speaker 1: I think this is the one that's dating the Paul brother.
Speaker 1: Judah Leardam is her name.
Speaker 3: Was crying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a speed skating star. I believe that's who
Speaker 1: it is. But this woman, she after her victory, right,
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a different lady. I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is the one he's dating, but Judah lear Edam,
Speaker 1: she is it his Fionceay Jake Paul's fiance. Judah lear Dam,
Speaker 1: she's out there and she was reacting to winning gold
Speaker 1: in the women's one thousand meters speed skating. Pretty impressive feet,
Speaker 1: but you know, you might get some money from your country.
Speaker 2: You might get a little bit of this, and that's
Speaker 2: some out of boys, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: But she's going to make a million bucks according to
Speaker 1: these stories because of this. And after she won, she
Speaker 1: unzipped her Olympics uniform to reveal this like Nike sports
Speaker 1: brawl that she had underneath, and you could see the
Speaker 1: Nike logo, and they said just that she's expected to
Speaker 1: get a million dollars.
Speaker 3: For I will do the same if anyone's wondering.
Speaker 1: And that is pretty crazy to me. That's a lot,
Speaker 1: I mean a million dollars. Yeah, it says Jutta lear
Speaker 1: Dam's gold medal might not even be close to her
Speaker 1: biggest haul. During the twenty twenty six Winter Olympics in Milano, Cortina,
Speaker 1: the Dutch speed skating superstar could be raking in roughly
Speaker 1: one million dollars for simply unzipping the front of her
Speaker 1: uniform after the race, According to one advertising expert, Nike,
Speaker 1: whose sports bar abra was on display, celebrated her in
Speaker 1: the one hundred or the one thousand meters speed skating event,
Speaker 1: and they could be forking over big bucks to the
Speaker 1: blonde beauty. After winning the event last Monday, she unzipped
Speaker 1: her racing suit and showed up the white Nike undergarment
Speaker 1: as she cooled.
Speaker 2: Down after the tough race.
Speaker 1: So she finishes her speed skating, she unzips and she
Speaker 1: has and don't think it was like a lacey bra
Speaker 1: or something that's It's like a sports bra.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to say when she flashed it, it's not really,
Speaker 4: you know, flashing kind of implies something a little more sexual.
Speaker 2: It wasn't sexual at all, even in that moment.
Speaker 3: I what are the stats of people saying, Oh, I
Speaker 3: wonder what brother that is? I want to buy it?
Speaker 7: Versus Nike is going to be like, can you believe
Speaker 7: after winning a gold what was exposed our bra?
Speaker 2: That's it?
Speaker 1: I mean they said, look for Nike to have their
Speaker 1: brand on display.
Speaker 2: As somebody wins gold. As minor as this was.
Speaker 1: If I was watching this and paying attention, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: even have thought that this was a promotional sun at all.
Speaker 1: I just thought she was hot after exerting herself from
Speaker 1: the speed skating, and she unzipped the outfit and then
Speaker 1: had this like Nike sports bra underneath, and you can
Speaker 1: see the Nike logo and you could see partially where
Speaker 1: it says Nike, but.
Speaker 2: You don't even see the whole Nike logo. And she
Speaker 2: still get a million bucks.
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, you really you at least in this
Speaker 1: maybe she pulled it open all the way at one point.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a static photo and you can just
Speaker 1: see what it is that it's a Nike brand sports
Speaker 1: bra underneath her outfit.
Speaker 4: Much more than the thirty five, six hundred and seventy
Speaker 4: four dollars that Dutch Olympians get for winning a gold medal.
Speaker 2: How often is this happening?
Speaker 1: Like how many Olympic athletes go all right, well, when
Speaker 1: I do all I have to do is show my sunglasses, right,
Speaker 1: or like I unzip my shirt and show the undershirt
Speaker 1: that I'm wearing with the brand on it, or.
Speaker 7: Make sure that I'm drinking out of a particular water bottle,
Speaker 7: and that gets suree the sponsorship books anything.
Speaker 1: They can do to work that brand into it. It's
Speaker 1: like product placement that's going around the Olympics. And though
Speaker 1: the at least the rumor is she's getting a million
Speaker 1: dollars for doing that, which seems just crazy to me.
Speaker 2: All right, over to this story. I told you this
Speaker 2: was a wild one for sure.
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring this up from our partners over
Speaker 1: at Fox thirty five Orlando dot Com. There was a
Speaker 1: teen that survived an attack in Daytona Beach on the
Speaker 1: boardwalk and a lot of weird stuff happened in Daytona
Speaker 1: Beach as the big race, the NASCAR race was going
Speaker 1: on over there. One thing I got a bunch of attention.
Speaker 1: Talked about this in a bonus stream yesterday that the
Speaker 1: fine folks in Chat were able to unlock last week.
Speaker 1: And in the bonus stream we talked about how Jimmy
Speaker 1: Eat World performed and I believe Daytona Beach over the
Speaker 1: weekend in an Arby's. They were inside an Rby's location,
Speaker 1: and I'm not kidding you. There might have been fifty
Speaker 1: people or something in there.
Speaker 3: Is this like a go to venue or first time
Speaker 3: that Rby's had a music show?
Speaker 2: As far as I know, it's the first time they
Speaker 2: did it.
Speaker 1: But they go, look, we'll pay Jimmy Eat World to
Speaker 1: play inside this Arby's and we'll throw a little party
Speaker 1: here for some some fans, and then they record it
Speaker 1: and it becomes like a viral thing online. Again, the
Speaker 1: company's throwing money at all that viral attention and that
Speaker 1: that happened over the weekend, so you probably saw some
Speaker 1: clips of that. But this as team survives random random
Speaker 1: throat slashing attack on Daytona Beach boardwalk. I got to
Speaker 1: see if I can get you a photo of this
Speaker 1: poor kid.
Speaker 2: Sullivan.
Speaker 1: Clark thirteen, said he was visiting for the races when
Speaker 1: a man he didn't know walked up and cut his
Speaker 1: throat while he was walking with his parents.
Speaker 2: Sullivan said he only survived.
Speaker 1: Because he happened to look up at a boardwalk ride
Speaker 1: at the exact moment of the attack, which shifted his
Speaker 1: neck just enough to avoid a fatal wound.
Speaker 2: Whoa holy cow.
Speaker 1: The man accusing the attack, forty four year old Jermaine Long,
Speaker 1: was found nearby and is being held in jail without
Speaker 1: the option for bond. They're saying, so Florida man arrested
Speaker 1: after fisher say intentionally cut a teenager's neck. The Clark
Speaker 1: family was walking along Daytona Beach boardwalk back to their
Speaker 1: hotel at ten pm on Valentine's Day. They'd spent the
Speaker 1: day at the Daytona International speedwab. He was on his
Speaker 1: phone just feed away from his parents. Oh here's his neck. Jeezus,
Speaker 1: like Frankenstein, folks, like really amazing.
Speaker 2: This kid is alive.
Speaker 1: A slash from one side of his neck nearly to
Speaker 1: the other is all stitched up. For Sullivan Clark, the
Speaker 1: thirteen year old who did not know who this attacker was,
Speaker 1: who had no idea why he was being targeted. And
Speaker 1: they don't know any reason at all why this person
Speaker 1: would have been targeted. It was much more dire than
Speaker 1: a robbery, his father said. They realized how badly the
Speaker 1: son was hurt, and he could see deep into the wound.
Speaker 1: Doctors told the family if the blade had gone just
Speaker 1: one millimeter deeper, he would not have survived.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 1: He looked up at the slingshot ride at just this time,
Speaker 1: and it's the only reason he's there to tell his story.
Speaker 1: The suspect was located near the overpass and taken into custody,
Speaker 1: and he's been arrested for quite a few things.
Speaker 2: This Germaine long guy who did this unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this guy's one of these people,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised who just has a long ass
Speaker 1: history of being arrested over and over and over and
Speaker 1: over and released over and over and over and over.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the case with him, but
Speaker 1: he seemingly attacked this person for no reason. And the
Speaker 1: forty four year old nearly killed this kid who did nothing.
Speaker 1: He was just existing walking along this pier in Daytona. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And I'll put a photo of what happened here because
Speaker 1: you got to see this over on see it now,
Speaker 1: so take a look at that. I would much rather
Speaker 1: have been at the Jimmy Eat World Show at the Arby's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, than this.
Speaker 1: This is not something that I would have wanted to
Speaker 1: take part in in any way at all.
Speaker 2: But to each their own.
Speaker 8: I sent that.
Speaker 4: Tweet about the Jimmy Eat World Show at the Arby's
Speaker 4: to my friend, who is a gigantic Jimmy Eat World fan,
Speaker 4: and I was like, Hey, you so cool to go?
Speaker 2: He was like, have you heard about that?
Speaker 4: Oh. Some of the comments I was the most sad
Speaker 4: about were people that were like, I'm in Daytona.
Speaker 2: I could have easily been at this Arby's what the hell?
Speaker 4: And friend was like, yeah, I hadn't heard about that.
Speaker 4: He WTF and then said, okay, now this makes more sense.
Speaker 4: He saw on their Instagram account the only real clue
Speaker 4: that anything might happen. Didn't say where, didn't say when,
Speaker 4: didn't say anything. There was just one post in their
Speaker 4: stories that had a Jimmy Eat World poster, but World
Speaker 4: was crossed out and Arby's was.
Speaker 2: Like or something like that.
Speaker 3: That's a smart gig.
Speaker 2: But yeah, nothing else.
Speaker 1: You don't even think they went like the fan club
Speaker 1: or anything on this.
Speaker 2: I mean, somebody had to be Why were there fifty
Speaker 2: people out an Arby's. They were all and they were
Speaker 2: all wearing Arby's shirts too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a lot of brand I always saw
Speaker 4: a very small clip of the actual performance, but there
Speaker 4: was a lot of branding all over the place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a pretty interesting promotion and much better press.
Speaker 1: I think somebody says he's a repeat offender. I don't
Speaker 1: see that in the article that I'm looking at.
Speaker 16: But I do not.
Speaker 2: It would not surprise me.
Speaker 4: I mean I haven't seen his record, but one of
Speaker 4: his charges in addition to aggravated assault with the deadly weapon,
Speaker 4: which seems like it should have been attempted murder. I
Speaker 4: don't I don't see where you slid the throat, and
Speaker 4: you don't call that attempted murder. Sure, but one of
Speaker 4: the charges with failure to properly register as a sex offender.
Speaker 4: So there's definitely some sort of record there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's another one that says man lacerated child's neck
Speaker 1: and random Daytona beach.
Speaker 2: Attack five pm. Yeah, all right, so yeah this is
Speaker 2: this guy.
Speaker 1: Oh uh, the charge against Long represent his fifth felony
Speaker 1: case in Volusia County. And yeah, he's got he's got
Speaker 1: a long history here. So I mean, it's just that
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff is so frustrating. I've told you
Speaker 1: a million times on this show. It's the thing that
Speaker 1: everyone should know and everybody should start complaining about. Get
Speaker 1: the names of the judges who make these decisions. Hold
Speaker 1: the judges accountable, hold their feet to the fire, literally,
Speaker 1: if need be, Hold the prosecutors accountable. For all of this,
Speaker 1: we have the the majority, the majority of violent crimes
Speaker 1: in this country are done by the same people, over
Speaker 1: and over and over and over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: We can improve everybody's outcomes, everybody, every man, woman, and child.
Speaker 1: We can improve all of their outcomes by actually holding
Speaker 1: these people behind bars. It is for various social and
Speaker 1: political reasons that they tend to just re release, release, release, release, release,
Speaker 1: release these these people over and over again until they
Speaker 1: end up killing somebody. And it won't be until these
Speaker 1: folks are held accountable. It won't be until these folks
Speaker 1: know that you're watching this stuff that they change the
Speaker 1: way they do this, because generally they know nobody's watching this.
Speaker 1: Now here's what I want to do. I want to
Speaker 1: release this guy again, and then he goes out and
Speaker 1: slices somebody's throat.
Speaker 4: The aggravated assault case stem from January fourteenth, when a
Speaker 4: Lucia Sheriff's deputy who was doing patrols in the area
Speaker 4: observed along wielding an approximate eight foot long wooden pull
Speaker 4: attempting to strike people. Jeus, one of the alleged victims,
Speaker 4: told the responding police officer he approached them and accused
Speaker 4: them of harming his faith, noted long brandish a silver
Speaker 4: colored bladed weapon, describing it as a small kitchen knife
Speaker 4: in a court filing, dated February tenth, though an assistant
Speaker 4: state attorney wrote the prosecutors would no longer pursue the
Speaker 4: earlier chargers against Long, the filing does not provide a
Speaker 4: reason why.
Speaker 2: Right, See, this is what happens so often.
Speaker 1: It is these people who are doing this over and
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again, and to
Speaker 1: lower the crime stats to show that they have arrested
Speaker 1: people of different backgrounds and ethnicities, and lower numbers to
Speaker 1: for a bunch of different reasons, political and social reasons,
Speaker 1: they continue to release these people over and over and
Speaker 1: over again. This should have never happened to this kid.
Speaker 1: It's a real shame, all right. When we come back
Speaker 1: jury Duty, and I'll give you all of those Nancy
Speaker 1: Guthrie updates, including something that I just don't believe, something
Speaker 1: about this investigation that I just don't believe.
Speaker 2: But I want to see what you think about it.
Speaker 2: That's coming up next in.
Speaker 1: The news, Junkie. Big updates in the Nancy Guthrie case
Speaker 1: coming up in Jury Duty. Let's get to a couple
Speaker 1: of your emails very quickly and see what's on your mind. Here,

Speaker 1: jury duty here momentarily.
Speaker 2: And I'm waiting for the dump to catch back up. Okay.

Speaker 1: I'm sorry for saying this person's name right off the jump,
Speaker 1: but that's what the dump button's for.
Speaker 2: Leave me a non please.
Speaker 1: They say. I had a friend work that Jimmy Eat
Speaker 1: World event as a brand ambassador. The production crew was
Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania and they hired local brand reps for the
Speaker 1: day to hand out Arby's merch to the attendees. The
Speaker 1: show was for j R Motorsports driver for the race team,
Speaker 1: and Arby's is one of the sponsors. It was in
Speaker 1: conjunction with a promotion group called Arby's Boys. I've never
Speaker 1: heard this fun.
Speaker 2: The Arby's Boys.
Speaker 1: They mimicked the viral sensation of the pop up metal
Speaker 1: show at Denny's. It was influencers only. All influencers were
Speaker 1: non local eighty people. It was an invite only thing
Speaker 1: on private property, so it wasn't even any like no
Speaker 1: regular people got to be there. Oh, it's like behind
Speaker 1: the scenes anonymous photos of the of the assigned. They're
Speaker 1: legit this person's yeah, this is like this is the place.
Speaker 3: It was actual Arby's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But they said they were all influencers.
Speaker 1: There wasn't like any actual fans or nobody just like
Speaker 1: happened to be there.
Speaker 2: The whole thing was just up inside this Arby's.
Speaker 1: And I know it was in an actual arby subritta
Speaker 1: because one of the videos was a guy filming outside
Speaker 1: and it's like we got the meats and all the
Speaker 1: RB signs, and then he swings the door open. Then
Speaker 1: he walks inside the Arby's and he turns the corner
Speaker 1: and there's Jimmy World singing, you know whatever, what a
Speaker 1: praise chorus or whatever.
Speaker 3: It's definitely like one or two people that just wanted Arby's.
Speaker 2: Right, they're open late, right, unless they shut down. They
Speaker 2: might have shut down.
Speaker 3: Specific they shut down for this one employee. It was
Speaker 3: still just slinging the meats.
Speaker 2: They probably did.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the updates in the Nancy
Speaker 1: Guthrie case, including some breaking news in this and to
Speaker 1: do that, let's jump headfirst in.
Speaker 2: Let's do jerry duty.
Speaker 14: Court is now in session, so put your phone down
Speaker 14: and pay attention before we call the bailiff over to
Speaker 14: whip your ass.
Speaker 2: You're knowing jury duty with the News Junkie.
Speaker 1: Jury Duty brought to you by the one the only
Speaker 1: Mo DeWitt of the DeWitt Law Firm. Injured on the
Speaker 1: go just Calmo eight hundred Calmo eight hundred Calmo or
Speaker 1: go to just calmo dot com after an accident. There's
Speaker 1: lots of attorneys trying to get your attention. I want
Speaker 1: you to do the smart thing. Just pick up the
Speaker 1: phone eight hundred Calmo eight hundred Calmo or going to
Speaker 1: just Callmo dot com. Here's a round up at the
Speaker 1: updates in the Savannah Guthrie Nancy Guthrie case. This coming
Speaker 1: in from Fox News. Matt Finn says, I just asked
Speaker 1: Sheriff Nanos. That's that like a po dunk sheriff in
Speaker 1: this case, the Keystone cop guy. I just asked Sheriff
Speaker 1: Nanos if DNA helped clear the Guthrie family from being suspects.
Speaker 2: He says, I'm not going there.
Speaker 1: The Guthrie family are victims and I will not stand
Speaker 1: quiet while they are revictimized. It's not just my duty,
Speaker 1: says the sheriff. It's every cops duty to stand up
Speaker 1: and be the voice for victims. So this was kind
Speaker 1: of an unusual thing that was done this weekend. Let
Speaker 1: me see if I can bring up the statement from
Speaker 1: the sheriff. The sheriff posted this, This is not something
Speaker 1: that happens a lot before they got anybody in custody.
Speaker 1: A statement from the sheriff, Chris Nanos on the Nancy
Speaker 1: Guthrie investigation.
Speaker 2: To be clear, the sheriff says.
Speaker 1: The Guthrie family, to include all siblings and spouses, has
Speaker 1: been cleared as possible suspects in this case. The family
Speaker 1: has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims
Speaker 1: in this case. To suggest otherwise is not only wrong,
Speaker 1: it is cruel. The Guthree family are victims, plain and simple. Please,
Speaker 1: I'm begging you, the media to honor your profession and
Speaker 1: report with some sense of compassion and professionalism. So they
Speaker 1: don't have anybody in custody, they haven't arrested anybody. They're
Speaker 1: not even hot on anybody's tale as far as I
Speaker 1: can tell, and they are saying all of the gu
Speaker 1: three family to include all siblings in their spouses, have
Speaker 1: been cleared as possible suspects in this case.
Speaker 3: Now, did you see the new suspect according to the internet.
Speaker 2: I did not know the neighbor. Oh really there? Okay,
Speaker 2: no reason for this.
Speaker 3: Yes, because he was I am just.
Speaker 7: Reiterating what was I saw it, necessarily believe it. But
Speaker 7: this guy was like immediately going up to the news like,
Speaker 7: this is who I think it is. I think it's
Speaker 7: the brother in law. I had a premonition, blah blah blah.
Speaker 7: And now they started to do the slew thing and
Speaker 7: they were doing comparisons of the ring and the glove
Speaker 7: in that particular.
Speaker 3: Video, and then the mouth and the eyes and those
Speaker 3: started to match.
Speaker 7: And everyone's like, why aren't you talking to the neighbor
Speaker 7: who had a premonition day two that it was the
Speaker 7: brother in law who has been cleared.
Speaker 1: I tell you what, I hesitate to give any support
Speaker 1: to these online sluice who just dig up people and
Speaker 1: you know, really just go after them. And they probably
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with it, but it seems like
Speaker 1: they're doing more than the sheriff is the sheriff doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like he's doing a whole lot. So there's other
Speaker 1: stuff too. There's something that I don't believe is real
Speaker 1: that I want to talk about when we come back.
Speaker 1: And then I got the latest clip that Nancy Guthrie
Speaker 1: has released. To see what I'm sorry, Savannah Guthrie rather
Speaker 1: has released about her mother's disappearance.
Speaker 2: That would be news if Nancy was at least in
Speaker 2: the clip, that would be the one everybody's waiting for.
Speaker 1: But we'll get into those two finalize the updates on
Speaker 1: that front, and it's coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: The Nancy Guthrie case.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are like and because we haven't
Speaker 1: had any movement because we've got this local yokel sheriff
Speaker 1: who is fighting with the Feds. The sheriff has bad
Speaker 1: blood with the Feds, doesn't want to work with them
Speaker 1: that much. The Feds are doing some pretty amazing things,
Speaker 1: like they got that footage from Google and that has
Speaker 1: been a pretty big breakthrough in the case. And there
Speaker 1: are some other updates and I'm going to hit you
Speaker 1: up on all of those in a second. But the
Speaker 1: thing that I'm sort of a truther on and Seelan,
Speaker 1: give me your vibes on this one. I'm interested to
Speaker 1: see just on the tech side, what you think, because
Speaker 1: the story over the weekend was that they were flying
Speaker 1: around over the desert in Tucson and over all of
Speaker 1: these neighborhoods where they think Nancy Guthrie, the eighty four
Speaker 1: year old mother of Savannah Guthrie, might be, and that
Speaker 1: they were using some sort of detection device that they
Speaker 1: thought could could detect her pacemaker, and like, what are
Speaker 1: the stories said?
Speaker 2: Hang on, let me bring up a story on this.
Speaker 2: Nancy Guthrie.
Speaker 1: Investigators they deploy advanced Bluetooth signal detector in an effort
Speaker 1: to find her face signal sniffer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a Bluetooth signal sniffer. Now, I don't believe
Speaker 2: we have the ability to do this. I don't.
Speaker 1: Somebody does, I don't. I don't believe that law enforcement
Speaker 1: has the ability to do this. Everybody who uses Bluetooth
Speaker 1: knows just how limited this is outside of your body.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind how limited the ranges on Bluetooth. If
Speaker 1: you have your phone hooked up to your car and
Speaker 1: you're playing music and you have to go inside the
Speaker 1: gas station. It's gonna cut off. You're not gonna You're
Speaker 1: not able to get that far away. Bluetooth does not
Speaker 1: work over a long distance. It just doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1: And then if Bluetooth is on a pacemaker inside an
Speaker 1: eighty four year old woman's body, I seriously doubt you
Speaker 1: can fly over in a chopper with just like some
Speaker 1: detector and try to see if you can detect where
Speaker 1: this lady is with her pacemaker. I don't think they
Speaker 1: can do that. I don't think they have the ability
Speaker 1: to do that.
Speaker 2: Seems they tried.
Speaker 4: They say the helicopter has to fly really low, which
Speaker 4: that makes sense, although I don't know why they didn't.
Speaker 4: I guess it doesn't make as much sense to do
Speaker 4: it with a drone, even though it would be easier.
Speaker 4: You would just have to keep landing, switching batteries, landing
Speaker 4: switching batteries.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: But it says the signal sniffer uses an amplifier, Well,
Speaker 2: it would have to. You would have to.
Speaker 4: You can't amplify her bluetooth signal because you don't know
Speaker 4: where she is, so you would have to at least
Speaker 4: have some sort of you know, bin Ford thirty eight
Speaker 4: hundred bluetooth sniffer, you know, with more power and like
Speaker 4: pointed around everywhere. It did say they're trying to identify
Speaker 4: the unique MAC address of her pacemaker. So it sounds
Speaker 4: like they do have the information about the specific device
Speaker 4: they're looking for.
Speaker 2: But that's they're looking for only that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's useful if they have the exact device ID
Speaker 1: for her for her pacemaker. But I just don't think
Speaker 1: that the FBI has something that would work well enough.
Speaker 1: So you just fly over a city and then if
Speaker 1: the if you at some point flew over the bluetooth pacemaker,
Speaker 1: that it would detect it.
Speaker 2: That's I mean, how low they not low enough?
Speaker 3: If her heart wasn't beating anymore.
Speaker 4: So the pacemaker does work for a little bit longer,
Speaker 4: I think. No, I get that, it's a very valid question.
Speaker 2: How long? How does it notice stop after it?
Speaker 1: Just like it is based on your heart rhythms, and
Speaker 1: it's like if heart not beating anymore, stop working.
Speaker 4: Let's see cardiac pacemakers and in general, pacemakers do not
Speaker 4: keep dying patients alive, as terminal events are often due
Speaker 4: to sceptics hemorrhage.
Speaker 2: No, I want to know how it.
Speaker 4: Can continue sending electrical signals even after death. They're not
Speaker 4: designed to recognize when someone dies.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it won't give out like a flatline signal
Speaker 1: to everybody else.
Speaker 2: But I just don't buy it.
Speaker 1: I don't buy that they have the ability to zoom
Speaker 1: over the neighborhood and detect somebody's pacemaker with some sort
Speaker 1: of Bluetooth supertech.
Speaker 2: I just don't think that's the case.
Speaker 1: If I'm wrong about that, and you're a Bluetooth expert,
Speaker 1: correct me, set me straight on That's at thenewsyunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Another video coming from Savannah Guthrie about her mother.
Speaker 2: Let's see what she said. I wanted to come on
Speaker 2: and it's like three weeks in.
Speaker 21: It's been two weeks since our mom was taken.
Speaker 2: Where did the third week?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: You guys think she'll ever go back to work at
Speaker 2: the Today Show a.
Speaker 3: Time for the exclusive interview like this.
Speaker 1: Is such a game changer in her life, Like this
Speaker 1: has really upended a person's life as much as you could.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she ever ends up going back
Speaker 1: to that show or if this is a wrap for her.
Speaker 1: I still hope she gets the best outcome possible. I
Speaker 1: hope they find her mom and she's fine and the
Speaker 1: family gets what they're looking for. In this case, it's
Speaker 1: just now, it's we're going into three weeks.
Speaker 21: I just wanted to come on and say that poor thing,
Speaker 21: we still have hope, and we still believe. And I
Speaker 21: wanted to say.
Speaker 3: To whoever.
Speaker 21: Has her or knows where.
Speaker 1: She is, that.
Speaker 3: It's never too late, never too late interesting, and you're
Speaker 3: not lost.
Speaker 2: Or alone twenty seconds ham.
Speaker 3: And it is never too late to do the right thing,
Speaker 3: and we are here.
Speaker 2: It's also weird.
Speaker 21: We believe, and we believe in the essential goodness of
Speaker 21: every human being.
Speaker 2: All Right, there she is, and it's never too late.
Speaker 2: It's never too late. As to message. The latest one
Speaker 2: from Savannah Guthrie.
Speaker 1: The other tidbits in this case that I was talking
Speaker 1: of out the latest from the Sheriff's department about suspect clothing.
Speaker 1: The sheriff can confirm the clothing scene in the video
Speaker 1: may have been purchased from Walmart.
Speaker 4: But it's not exclusively available at Walmart. Wh can you
Speaker 4: confirm something may have happened? You confirmed something did happen.
Speaker 4: You don't confirm something might happen.
Speaker 2: They can confirm that there's a possible.
Speaker 4: Can confirm that I may go home and have mimosas
Speaker 4: after the show. I may, you know, I may, I
Speaker 4: may choose something different?
Speaker 2: Can I calci that one? Can I than I think
Speaker 2: that mimosas might happen.
Speaker 1: This remains a possibility only the investigations ongoing, and information
Speaker 1: may change as new details developed. And they were talking
Speaker 1: about DNA evidence. They said the directed to those two
Speaker 1: the FBI, and let's see what else we have. Sheriff
Speaker 1: Chris Nandos of Pima County or is don't tell. CBS
Speaker 1: news investigator searching for Nancy Guthrie believe the clothing and
Speaker 1: face mask warm by the suspect were purchased at Walmart.
Speaker 1: This is CBS saying this. It's unclear whether they're about
Speaker 1: on line or in store. Walmart has responded by providing,
Speaker 1: I believe security footage of all the purchases that were
Speaker 1: related to this. That's good, so we'll see if anything
Speaker 1: else happens then this is Sheriff Nanos responds about local
Speaker 1: Phoenix News report that says, through an inside source, investigators
Speaker 1: believe the Guthrie case was a burglary gone bad and
Speaker 1: that Nancy Guthrie is still alive. The sheriff says that
Speaker 1: did not come from us, no idea, and even though
Speaker 1: it's one of many possibilities, we would never speculate.
Speaker 2: Such a thing. It kind of just did. Though.
Speaker 1: We will let the evidence take us to motive, says
Speaker 1: the sheriff. In this sloth like speed they have going
Speaker 1: on on the gloves front, the FBI saying the gloves
Speaker 1: found approximately two miles from the Guthrie residence in a
Speaker 1: field near the side of the road, were packaged and
Speaker 1: sent for testing. They arrived at the private lab about
Speaker 1: four days ago.
Speaker 2: This one was weird.
Speaker 4: This was a weird back and forth because they sent
Speaker 4: the glove to Florida for testing.
Speaker 1: That's where there Sheriff's office usually sends stuff, right, But.
Speaker 4: It says under federal law, the FBI cannot use the
Speaker 4: CODIS system unless the item in question is tested in
Speaker 4: the state where it was found, in this case Arizona.
Speaker 4: And so this is as TMZ reported like about an
Speaker 4: hour ago. And they said so they had they tested
Speaker 4: in Florida, but since they couldn't use the CODA system,
Speaker 4: they had to send it back to Arizona Jesus to
Speaker 4: get tested there. As for why the PM account of
Speaker 4: sheriff decided to send the glove to Florida in the
Speaker 4: first place, knowing the glove would have to be retested
Speaker 4: in Arizona, they said, our sources.
Speaker 2: Have no idea.
Speaker 4: And then about thirty ish minutes later they made the
Speaker 4: announcement that there was no DNA hit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, after getting all excited and saying they were running
Speaker 1: this against the DNA database. No hit, no nothing, and
Speaker 1: that lead seems to be sort of dried up. A
Speaker 1: couple other things, FBI agents, according to Brian Enton from
Speaker 1: News Nation, FBI agents have been to several gun stores
Speaker 1: in Tucson, Arizona, with a list of about forty p
Speaker 1: people in their photos. They're looking to see if any
Speaker 1: of them were in the store or purchased a weapon.
Speaker 1: And they've been recording the back Here's the backside of
Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie's.
Speaker 2: House that shows you an angle.
Speaker 4: There are those signs of forced entry. Has there been
Speaker 4: any guess on what kind of gun that was? Or
Speaker 4: was there not enough to see?
Speaker 1: I could only see like the whole thing that it
Speaker 1: was in so attached or near the garage.
Speaker 14: Now from our wide unofficial view, we can't see any
Speaker 14: signs of smashed glass.
Speaker 12: Yeah, noticeable signs of forced entry.
Speaker 1: No broken doors, no smashed glass, none of this when
Speaker 1: they look at the backside of the house. TMZ is
Speaker 1: still getting these letters and still doing the Harvey Levin
Speaker 1: thing where he's like, now, I'm going to speak directly
Speaker 1: to whoever's sending these notes to us.
Speaker 2: And this is the fourth note.
Speaker 15: It is.
Speaker 2: It's just gross. It's just super gross what they're doing.
Speaker 1: But like they're acting like they're taking this so seriously
Speaker 1: and all they have to pay is fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Pay it if you.
Speaker 1: Think this guy's onto something, but you don't. Don't you
Speaker 1: just want to try to drum up more attention.
Speaker 8: It is Monday morning. We have received a fourth letter
Speaker 8: from the same person who says that he knows where
Speaker 8: Nancy Gotthrie is and he wants in return for the information.
Speaker 2: Essentially, he wants the reward. So I have something to.
Speaker 8: Say to you, not to me, And I've already talked
Speaker 8: to the FBI about this that if you are not real,
Speaker 8: you're committing a crime and you should know that, and
Speaker 8: this is a crime if you are real. This is
Speaker 8: the fourth letter you've sent, and I should tell everybody that.
Speaker 8: In this letter it says I know what I saw
Speaker 8: five days ago south of the border. It's an email
Speaker 8: and I was told to shut up.
Speaker 9: So I know who he is.
Speaker 8: And that was definitely Lee Nancy with them. This is
Speaker 8: the second time he has referred to more than one
Speaker 8: person involved in this.
Speaker 1: It's so weird that they've been stretching this out on
Speaker 1: TMZ clearly just like a mentally ill, disconnected storyline, and
Speaker 1: they're like, well, you know, here we go, not willing
Speaker 1: to pay the money themselves. In fact, TMZ was like,
Speaker 1: we'll we'll connect you to the FBI so you can
Speaker 1: get the reward money, and then other stuff popping up,
Speaker 1: like a Milwaukee attorney has offered one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: reward I guess for finding this woman. Really no huge
Speaker 1: concrete breakthroughs at all on this case, and that's where
Speaker 1: that's where it stays right now. So we'll keep an
Speaker 1: eye on this and see if anything else goes down.
Speaker 1: But now you have the information that gets you all
Speaker 1: caught up on that front. A lot of other twists
Speaker 1: and turns out there so we're going to get to them.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll talk to a brand new
Speaker 1: way to relax that I don't think I can get behind.
Speaker 2: But maybe you can. We'll see how this lands with you,
Speaker 2: the audience.
Speaker 1: Let's see how this lands with you and what you
Speaker 1: want to do that's coming up next in the news
Speaker 1: junk kie, I see a lot of people are sending me,
Speaker 1: in particular on account of being in the newsworld. Here
Speaker 1: this video two point six million views of a news
Speaker 1: anchor going viral, and it's like, man, things are changing.
Speaker 1: Things are changing in the news anchor world. It used
Speaker 1: to be that you wouldn't be somebody with tattoos on you.
Speaker 1: It used to be that you couldn't be somebody with
Speaker 1: like a bunch of piercings. This particular news anchor, she's
Speaker 1: tatted up. She's like she's rocking a sleeveless outfit showcase.
Speaker 3: The A line bangs, she.
Speaker 1: Has a nose piercing, she has a septum nose piercing,
Speaker 1: and she looks like a goth.
Speaker 2: But she's a news anchor at this station.
Speaker 1: And the idea is like, oh, are they opening up
Speaker 1: the world of these media jobs with people who are
Speaker 1: a bit different, so they can try to capture younger
Speaker 1: audiences or just different audiences.
Speaker 2: And that's what you have with this woman. This is
Speaker 2: a smaller market, I believe, but here she is treating
Speaker 2: the SAT News.
Speaker 11: Defense contractor Lockie Martin is planning to quadruple its annual
Speaker 11: production of high altitude missile interceptors following an agreement with
Speaker 11: the Department of War.
Speaker 12: The agreement sees the person.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's totally normal, except the person
Speaker 1: delivering the news doesn't look like you would expect, isn't
Speaker 1: wearing the same outfits like you know, all the news
Speaker 1: anchors tend to wear like the same sort of stuff
Speaker 1: and the same like colors because certain colors kind of
Speaker 1: pop on this green or whatever. And this woman just
Speaker 1: stands out because it's a little bit different doing a
Speaker 1: story about Lockheed Martin with a nose ring and a
Speaker 1: bunch of tattoos. And no, I thought for a while,
Speaker 1: it was like, I think the stigma of tattoos is
Speaker 1: kind of gone with this generation, but there are still
Speaker 1: certain avenues of professional life. They say, where this woman works, Uh,
Speaker 1: that's a good question, Alabama.
Speaker 2: It says they got goth chick News in Alabama.
Speaker 4: Now we hear like stories from Amy Kawfelt all the
Speaker 4: time that, like, you know, if she wears something too
Speaker 4: low cut or something, there's you know, old those sending
Speaker 4: in emails that was you know, uh, you shouldn't be
Speaker 4: wearing that on TV. This is a family blah blah
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. I would think that there would be
Speaker 4: probably some small yeah.
Speaker 7: The older, especially now that it's going viral, people that
Speaker 7: I have never even heard of the station will be
Speaker 7: emailing to complain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see what station she's on.
Speaker 1: I was trying to see if any of these things
Speaker 1: mentioned what station it was directly, but yeah, the post
Speaker 1: says they got goth chick news in Alabama. Now two
Speaker 1: point six million views.
Speaker 2: Of this woman. It is kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: It's visually interesting that it looks different than what you
Speaker 1: would expect in these circumstances.
Speaker 2: Maybe that would get you to watch.
Speaker 1: Let us know, send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, here's the new This is from the Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal, and tell me if you would give this
Speaker 1: a shot. The Wall Street Journals says, welcome to the
Speaker 1: rise of a new type of vacation. You don't worry
Speaker 1: about what the view looks like. You don't go on hikes,
Speaker 1: You're not doing any sort of like sporting activity based stuff.
Speaker 1: People are now taking sleepcations, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 2: Out today. Yeah it does sound low cost.
Speaker 1: It says, no views, no hikes, just z's welcome to
Speaker 1: the sleepcation. Tired of being tired, travelers are booking rem
Speaker 1: fueled trips.
Speaker 2: The best sleep of my life, it says, is there
Speaker 2: going somewhere to sleep? I hope not. Hang on, Let
Speaker 2: me bust down the paywall.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, Wall Street Journal stronger, stronger than your competitors
Speaker 1: paywall front, it says. Caitlin Rossotti's latest Gateway or Getaway
Speaker 1: featured none of her usual hallmarks of adventure. There were
Speaker 1: no pre dawn hikes or multi city tours. Her itinerary
Speaker 1: involved one activity only sleep. She slept for three nights
Speaker 1: on the first sorry, she slept for sixteen hours on
Speaker 1: the first night of her stay at a local hotel
Speaker 1: in Saratoga Springs, and that's where she went, just to
Speaker 1: sleep the entire time.
Speaker 2: She wanted to get away.
Speaker 3: Stuff to make you sleep here, any pills.
Speaker 2: Or anything, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like this is just people getting away solely to
Speaker 1: catch up on sleep not and and somebody in chat
Speaker 1: was like, I kind of do that on a vacation,
Speaker 1: which I totally get in respect. If you go on
Speaker 1: a vacation and you say I'm not waking up early
Speaker 1: any of these days, Like I'm going to sleep in
Speaker 1: as much as I can, I'm gonna go nap, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go relax in my hotel room on some days.
Speaker 1: Maybe some nights I'll just stay in, but you're at
Speaker 1: least still doing something. The whole idea behind this is
Speaker 1: that you're not doing anything.
Speaker 2: You are just you're sleeping, sleeping in. Sleeping in is fine,
Speaker 2: but yeah.
Speaker 4: There was one time where we were on vacation and
Speaker 4: Ashley wanted to take a nap and I was like,
Speaker 4: we don't have a lot of time here. I want
Speaker 4: to go do stuff. And I almost like left her
Speaker 4: to nap and was like, I'm I'm going somewhere. We
Speaker 4: were in New York City. I was like, there's so
Speaker 4: much cool stuff if we could be doing right now,
Speaker 4: and you want to nap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean sometimes that comes over.
Speaker 1: You, but a lot of people a lot of people
Speaker 1: are into that, it says. The Hilton twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: trans report found that the number one reason people want
Speaker 1: to travel as of twenty twenty four is to rest
Speaker 1: and recharge.
Speaker 2: So hotels are leaning into this.
Speaker 1: They're ditching noisy lobby bars and focusing on high tech mattresses.
Speaker 1: Some of the rooms cost one thousand dollars a night,
Speaker 1: just so just to sleep.
Speaker 2: That's it. You go there, you sleep, you get all
Speaker 2: charged up sleep. I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's what people are into. Would you use
Speaker 1: your vacation that way? Let us know, send a dispatch
Speaker 1: over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 4: Imagine if when we were in Jamaica and we're all partying,
Speaker 4: having a good time, and I was like, guys, uh.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take like a little power nappy two o'clock nappy.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It sounds like a wasist.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're the type that can keep going. Some
Speaker 3: people me can't.
Speaker 2: You could do both. You could do naps and something.
Speaker 1: You could also do something fun with your vacation, like
Speaker 1: you should have something.
Speaker 2: I would think it's not fun.
Speaker 7: Is me looking like a zombie because all I want
Speaker 7: to do is take a thirty minute power Now.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you know how many times I've heard
Speaker 1: and I've actually been in this position too. You guys
Speaker 1: have probably been in this position at least once or twice.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen somebod that you hadn't met in
Speaker 1: a while, you hadn't caught up with in a while, and.
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, what's going on? And you go, hey, hey,
Speaker 2: how you doing? They go good, good, what have you
Speaker 2: been up to? And You're like, I've been.
Speaker 3: Insert same line that I tell every line, you know.
Speaker 2: Just keeping it together, just trying to think of what
Speaker 2: to say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll always be like, oh, you know, just try
Speaker 1: not to get into much trouble.
Speaker 4: I see, I have an easy, baked in answer because
Speaker 4: of the baby, keeping a baby alive.
Speaker 1: That one works more so than a lot of the
Speaker 1: other ones. Another story I wanted to bring up because
Speaker 1: this was crazy to me. A story out of the
Speaker 1: New York Times talks about how Australians are now being
Speaker 1: pushed to the black market. And this isn't me saying this,
Speaker 1: for this is this is the New York Times saying this.
Speaker 1: The New York Times is reporting that cigarettes in Australia
Speaker 1: costs forty dollars a pack Australia or USD fifty five
Speaker 1: Australian or forty US dollars a pack. Now in New
Speaker 1: York City you can spend upwards. I've heard of twenty
Speaker 1: dollars on a pack of cigarettes in New York City.
Speaker 1: But New York City's twenty dollars ain't got nothing on
Speaker 1: forty dollars for it. Don't by the way, don't be
Speaker 1: bumming cigarettes off of anybody for forty dollars when they're
Speaker 1: forty dollars a pack.
Speaker 2: That's crazy to me.
Speaker 7: Are they very strict about what you're bringing in your luggage?
Speaker 7: Like could I go there with a cart?
Speaker 2: Well that they're in life from that issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's usually because people are who are just regular
Speaker 1: ass people are going in for black market cigarettes. Here's
Speaker 1: the story how forty dollars a pack cigarettes pushed Australians
Speaker 1: to the black market. Tax sikes have made cigarettes in
Speaker 1: Australia the most expensive in the world.
Speaker 2: Do U oh say, so it's it's the taxes that
Speaker 2: are doing it.
Speaker 5: I know that.
Speaker 4: I don't know if the Australians have access to this,
Speaker 4: but I guess this might count as black market because
Speaker 4: you're circumventing taxes. I had a friend that dabbled in
Speaker 4: I don't know how much he did it, ordering cigarettes
Speaker 4: from like Europe, and he got a cart and delivered
Speaker 4: to him. They were technically, I think, illegal to have
Speaker 4: because they didn't have tax stamps on him.
Speaker 1: I think this is what's happening with the New York
Speaker 1: Times saying that normal ass people are going to the
Speaker 1: black market because they've taxed cigarettes so much that they're
Speaker 1: forty dollars a pack. Somebody says, how much US forty
Speaker 1: dollars forty dollars US.
Speaker 2: Here's the New York Times.
Speaker 1: A retired math teacher descended into an underground parking lot
Speaker 1: in search of her dealer cash in hand, headlights dramatic
Speaker 1: from the far end of the garage in a beachside,
Speaker 1: middle class neighborhood in Melbourne, Australia. She walked up to
Speaker 1: an unmarked van and soon was back above ground with
Speaker 1: the illicit goods a carton of cigarettes. Australia has the
Speaker 1: most expensive cigarettes in the world, a pack of mid
Speaker 1: market cigarettes costing about forty dollars US, nearly double what
Speaker 1: it costs in New York City. A series of steep
Speaker 1: tax sights eight and ten years were put in place
Speaker 1: to reduce the rate of smoking, which is steadily declined.
Speaker 1: But there are people who are still smoking and now
Speaker 1: they're taking to like getting it from illicit sources because
Speaker 1: so expensive.
Speaker 2: They said, it's the injustice of the situation.
Speaker 1: Oh god, she's seventy five, five years old, said the
Speaker 1: retired teacher Pat Felvis, seventy five, who recounted in an
Speaker 1: interview her early experiences of buying illegal cigarettes. Illegal cigarettes
Speaker 1: cost about ten dollars a pack Australian and the ones
Speaker 1: that you buy else are fifty five dollars Australian, are
Speaker 1: forty dollars US bootlegs center what are readily available on
Speaker 1: every main street in Australia.
Speaker 4: What are these bootleggers paying for him? If ten dollars
Speaker 4: is still netting them a profit on the forty dollars cigarettes.
Speaker 3: Probably they're getting them themselves.
Speaker 1: They might be getting it from China or somewhere else
Speaker 1: and they're just selling them. They said they saw them
Speaker 1: at convenience stores and all these other places, and the
Speaker 1: black market has just absolutely exploded into a crisis there.
Speaker 1: They said, it's a pseudo prohibition because they've outpriced a
Speaker 1: lot of these people and they had to pay about
Speaker 1: fifty bucks.
Speaker 2: Forty or fifty bucks. That's so crazy.
Speaker 1: I mean, cigarettes were in the last twenty years two
Speaker 1: or three dollars a pack in the last twenty years, doubt,
Speaker 1: and now we're talking forty dollars a pack for those.
Speaker 3: And that's ten eleven now in Florida.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I mean, asked if it was forty dollars
Speaker 2: a pack. You think that's what they're doing it for.
Speaker 2: People are gonna quit it's forty dollars a pack.
Speaker 7: It's just sood like those making those decisions don't understand
Speaker 7: what it is to quit cigarettes. And it's not like,
Speaker 7: oh I can't afford I guess I'm just gonna not
Speaker 7: do it that there's still an addiction to it until.
Speaker 3: People will pay.
Speaker 2: If they're putting the tax on Zen.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're putting the tax on like Zen
Speaker 1: or just cigarettes, because just go over to Zen, for
Speaker 1: God's sake, it's a hell of a lot cheaper to
Speaker 1: get your nicotine.
Speaker 2: That way, you might be all right?
Speaker 1: All right, quick break when we come back final dispatches.

Speaker 1: from that Florida Treasure Hunt thing.
Speaker 12: What up, news Junkie?
Speaker 2: Did you go here?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 2: Just want to thank you guys real quick.
Speaker 1: I went to the Florida Treasure Hunt dot gov and
Speaker 1: they had twenty four cents waiting for me.
Speaker 7: Nice.
Speaker 2: There you go. That was a good recommendation of that.
Speaker 2: I do believe this guy. Send it cut over tips
Speaker 2: at the Newsjunkie dot com box and you might be
Speaker 2: able to afford some Australian cigarettes. That's so brutal, man,
Speaker 2: I can't imagine smoking it. So, dude, let's do the
Speaker 2: math on this. What did I say? Forty dollars a pack? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Two bucks a cigarette too? Oh my god? What's that?
Speaker 1: Let's say you're a pack a day forty times thirty
Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollars a month?
Speaker 2: Am I doing that right?
Speaker 7: So much? And then you want to go out and
Speaker 7: socialize and you absolutely have someone coming up saying I
Speaker 7: just quit.
Speaker 3: Just yeah, can I just get one, no for five dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's too much, is that right? Twelve hundred dollars
Speaker 2: a month? I think so?
Speaker 1: Yah, forty times thirty that's what it is in my head.
Speaker 1: But that's crazy. I mean, that's that's just so much money.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine doing that.
Speaker 4: There's nobody on the texting service evil, I says, A
Speaker 4: carton of my cigarettes is thirty six bucks.
Speaker 2: That's a whole carton. Ten they're not that che No
Speaker 2: is carton ten packs or twenty packs?
Speaker 17: Is?
Speaker 2: I don't know? Okay, ten packs in a cart and I.
Speaker 3: Think they're like eighty two hundred dollars now.
Speaker 2: Eight Oh really, Marlboro Light.
Speaker 1: It's that's so expensive, I mean, but still it's so
Speaker 1: much cheaper here than it is over like in Australia.
Speaker 1: I don't see how like only rich people can smoke.
Speaker 3: They must be rolling their cigarettes.
Speaker 7: There must be something else, like an agricultural loophole, because
Speaker 7: there's no way statistically there are a bunch of smokers
Speaker 7: though in Australia.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh quit really stupid question. Rolled cigarettes? When you
Speaker 1: get the tobacco and roll your own cigarettes, doe, those
Speaker 1: they're preloaded with nicotine.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, why are you saying it like that? I mean,
Speaker 2: there's totino says the nicotine in it. No, Nicotine's an
Speaker 2: additive that's added to the battle.
Speaker 3: Taking a sack of like cigarette tobacco that has it all.
Speaker 1: It's like the guts of these I don't know that
Speaker 1: they can do. I thought nicotine was extracted from tobacco.
Speaker 1: Well fact check before were they used to They used
Speaker 1: to chew it the tobacco, right, I thought that they
Speaker 1: added it in. I thought that they added in the nicotine,
Speaker 1: and that's why they can put it into like vape
Speaker 1: and stuff, and they can put in the zins and
Speaker 1: all that.
Speaker 7: Non zena negatine is not as bad for you as
Speaker 7: tobacco and the carcinogens that are added to.
Speaker 2: Your Yeah, that's definitely true.
Speaker 3: But I believe when you get a sack of like
Speaker 3: tobacco two roll, that it has it all in that.
Speaker 4: Nicotine is a natural stimulate alkaloid produced primarily in the
Speaker 4: roots of the tobacco plant and transported to its leaves.
Speaker 4: While highest in tobacco, it's also found in trace amounts
Speaker 4: and other night shade family plants like tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants.
Speaker 1: Hey, aren't some of the night shade shade stuff like
Speaker 1: dangerous like deadly night shade mushrooms and stuff.
Speaker 2: It's not related. There are some some bad night shades,
Speaker 2: and there's some good night shelts. There is there.
Speaker 1: It does occur naturally in tobacco, hence why it's it's addictive.
Speaker 1: So it would be in the tobacco that you're using,
Speaker 1: but we can also synthesize that it would seem in
Speaker 1: some way distracted, yeah, or extracted and put it in
Speaker 1: all the other stuff. But no matter what what, you
Speaker 1: dice it up as forty dollars a pack of cigarettes
Speaker 1: is a huge ask, Like that's crazy to even think of.
Speaker 3: Are smoking butt cigarettes, aren't they?
Speaker 2: Well, they're smoking black market cigarettes, is what they're doing.
Speaker 1: Like, and it's ten dollars for a pack. You get
Speaker 1: him a little bit cheaper or a lot cheaper.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here on the way out. Some
Speaker 1: stories that didn't make the cut. They're saying now that
Speaker 1: they've released all of the Epstein files, though there's quibbling
Speaker 1: over that what all means. People are saying that it's
Speaker 1: not enough. There's still more of them.
Speaker 2: Oh, Ceeli.
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier about people stepping down from the Epstein files.
Speaker 1: Hyatt Hotels executive chairman Tom Pritzker, the guy from Hyatt Hotels,
Speaker 1: He's announced he's retiring from the board. Goldman Sachs has
Speaker 1: accepted the resignation of their top lawyer, Katherine Rummeler, who
Speaker 1: talked with Epstein in the twenty tens.
Speaker 2: Hollywood Talent Agent.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty eight, Los Angeles Olympics chair Casey Wasserman
Speaker 1: is selling his agency.
Speaker 2: We talked about that earlier.
Speaker 1: And then Brad Karp, the chairman of a law firm
Speaker 1: Paul Weiss, vacated the role of chairman but state at
Speaker 1: the company after his emails to Epstein also surfaced.
Speaker 2: And that's that. All right, let's get the hell out
Speaker 2: of here. Here we go, let's do today.
Speaker 1: I learned the following information may make you feel smarter,
Speaker 1: but will not actually increase your IQ.
Speaker 2: So don't get cocky.
Speaker 8: Now it's done.
Speaker 2: What we call today.
Speaker 1: It is Taylor for a Tuesday, February seventeenth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 1: Learn this character right here. Batman is correct, old school Batman.
Speaker 1: Here there was a pornographic version of Batman It was
Speaker 1: a parody of unknown origin that was discovered in the
Speaker 1: storage room of an adult movie theater in Tennessee. It
Speaker 1: is a highly sought after collectible adult film these days
Speaker 1: called bat p word if you're interested, Backeword's it's from
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 2: That's an old one. They used to do those spoofs
Speaker 2: even back in the day.
Speaker 1: Them to Kiaro Kobyashi today, I learned he retired from
Speaker 1: competitive eating.
Speaker 2: That's the Japanese hot dog.
Speaker 1: Eater guy, very very good at it, very maybe the
Speaker 1: best some set, but probably not as good as the
Speaker 1: what's the guy now, Joey Chestnut I think is the
Speaker 1: Takaro Kobyashi said he retired from competitive eating because.
Speaker 2: He no longer feels hunger or fullness.
Speaker 1: He no longer feels either one of those, which just
Speaker 1: it feels like it would take all the excitement out
Speaker 1: of eating food if you did this. Although I do
Speaker 1: hear what that's what the GLP ones do too. He
Speaker 1: just kind of like, I know a bunch of people
Speaker 1: who have been taking the GLP ones as of late,
Speaker 1: and they go, you know what, I hate It makes
Speaker 1: me physically sick to think about eating food and I
Speaker 1: don't know that.
Speaker 3: It's very up until a first bite, and then it's like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to be excited about eating food. I
Speaker 1: don't want that to be pulled away from me. That
Speaker 1: feels honestly like a survival instinct on many of many levels.
Speaker 1: And finally, today, learn this guy right here, here we go.
Speaker 6: Funny Kenny, Jenny, Kenny Los Logins.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: Kenny Loggins divorced his first wife and married his colon therapist.
Speaker 2: This says say less.
