I know I say that all the time, 0:01:07.860 --> 0:01:10.280 but I mean it. I mean it on a day 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.940 like this. And we don't have to rely on Kelly 0:01:12.970 --> 0:01:13.830 Clarkson and a bird. 0:01:13.850 --> 0:01:16.170 You know what I mean? What are those things? Why? 0:01:16.190 --> 0:01:18.190 I was having so much fun with that drama. 0:01:18.250 --> 0:01:22.630 Let's go back to why you racial profiled Kelly Clarkson. 0:01:22.830 --> 0:01:24.370 I saw a serious story. 0:01:24.410 --> 0:01:26.180 I forgot what news outlet it was in, but it 0:01:26.230 --> 0:01:29.660 was like Kelly Clarkson returns to the stage for the 0:01:29.700 --> 0:01:32.179 first time since Major Bird Ordeal. 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:32.600 I saw that. 0:01:32.740 --> 0:01:37.740 I think TMZ did that. Or a version of it. 0:01:38.130 --> 0:01:40.410 What is a major bird ordeal? New Zealand had a 0:01:40.450 --> 0:01:45.450 major bird ordeal when Bongo died. Those are major bird ordeals. 0:01:45.690 --> 0:01:48.860 Also a minor bird ordeal when Bongo laid an egg. 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.640 And we were like, we've been calling you a boy 0:01:50.660 --> 0:01:54.790 this whole time. Yeah, tough times. Bongo, RIP out there. 0:01:54.810 --> 0:01:57.450 If you're out there somewhere in the animal afterlife and 0:01:57.470 --> 0:01:58.750 they let you listen to the stream. 0:01:58.830 --> 0:02:01.410 Just remember, Bongo's a good boy. True. 0:02:01.550 --> 0:02:03.880 Yeah, forever and always. All right, here we go. Let's 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.480 put our ears to the ground, our fingers in the bulls. 0:02:05.500 --> 0:02:07.460 Let's see what's happened to this great, big, wide world 0:02:07.500 --> 0:02:11.120 of ours. And we go to Samuel L. Jackson, everybody. 0:02:11.139 --> 0:02:14.200 All right. Love to see some Samuel L. Jackson on 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.010 the show to get us started. This guy's a character. 0:02:18.490 --> 0:02:20.370 You know this. I'm not telling you anything you don't 0:02:20.430 --> 0:02:24.210 know here. But Samuel L. Jackson was on the red 0:02:24.270 --> 0:02:29.410 carpet for something or other. And a reporter got a little, well, 0:02:29.530 --> 0:02:33.609 a lot cringe with him. You see, she said she 0:02:33.660 --> 0:02:36.200 was going to do an impression of him to his face. 0:02:36.870 --> 0:02:39.190 Oh, okay. All right, so Samuel L. 0:02:39.330 --> 0:02:41.890 Jackson is like, you're going to do an impression of me? 0:02:42.169 --> 0:02:45.410 I think that's cringe enough if a guy reporter were 0:02:45.430 --> 0:02:48.690 to do that. But it was a woman doing a 0:02:48.730 --> 0:02:49.240 Samuel L. 0:02:49.230 --> 0:02:49.630 Jackson? 0:02:50.110 --> 0:02:53.330 Yeah, a female reporter. She goes, I'm going to do 0:02:53.370 --> 0:02:54.109 an impression of you. 0:02:54.169 --> 0:02:54.750 Here's how it went. 0:02:54.850 --> 0:02:56.770 Have you ever met anyone who can do a really 0:02:56.810 --> 0:02:57.730 good impression of you? 0:02:57.750 --> 0:03:00.470 Not really. 0:03:00.510 --> 0:03:01.500 Jamie Foxx thinks he. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:02.160 Does, but no. 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.200 I think I could do one, maybe. 0:03:04.340 --> 0:03:04.639 Oh, gosh. 0:03:04.660 --> 0:03:04.920 You can? 0:03:04.940 --> 0:03:05.200 Yeah. 0:03:06.020 --> 0:03:10.500 Why? Why do you think that? Yeah, why? 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:10.590 Why? 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:15.250 What possesses you to think that you can do this? 0:03:16.510 --> 0:03:17.000 Samuel L. 0:03:16.990 --> 0:03:20.730 Jackson is like, I am doubtful. He's pressing F for doubt. 0:03:20.790 --> 0:03:21.230 Is that it? 0:03:21.270 --> 0:03:23.910 I think it's press F for doubt. He's doing that. 0:03:23.950 --> 0:03:26.680 Or is it X? Press X to doubt. That's what 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.660 Samuel L. Jackson is doing. Well, I've been practicing. 0:03:30.300 --> 0:03:30.900 Okay, go. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:31.299 Get it. 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.540 Get it. 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:41.190 I've had it with these motherfuckers. Oh my gosh. 0:03:41.210 --> 0:03:46.000 I thought you were going to do an impression of me. 0:03:48.380 --> 0:03:49.400 That's it. 0:03:49.940 --> 0:03:51.960 You were doing an impression of a bad actor trying 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:52.560 to do a bad. 0:03:52.460 --> 0:03:54.820 Impression of me. That was great if that's what you 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.070 were doing. But if you were really trying to do 0:03:57.090 --> 0:04:01.680 an impression of me, that was... Horrible. That was effing horrible, 0:04:01.780 --> 0:04:04.990 he said. Samuel L. Jackson doesn't care, just so you 0:04:05.030 --> 0:04:05.530 guys know. 0:04:05.610 --> 0:04:08.330 He's not here to mince words or make you feel 0:04:08.410 --> 0:04:09.930 better about yourself. 0:04:10.050 --> 0:04:13.260 It's my beer. Yes, they deserve to die, and I 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:14.480 hope to burn in hell. 0:04:15.530 --> 0:04:19.200 Isn't he still one of the top all-time box office 0:04:19.260 --> 0:04:22.820 winning actors? He's just been in so much stuff, man. 0:04:22.900 --> 0:04:26.810 He's super impressive. I think when you're at the level 0:04:26.830 --> 0:04:31.710 that Samuel L. Jackson is at, so he's desirable for 0:04:31.770 --> 0:04:34.289 bigger films because of his name and because of his 0:04:34.830 --> 0:04:37.690 his record and his history and everything that he's done. 0:04:39.190 --> 0:04:42.360 And I think... Haven't we kind of talked about Samuel L. 0:04:42.390 --> 0:04:45.929 Jackson will... Is it Samuel... Sam Jackson or Morgan Freeman 0:04:45.950 --> 0:04:47.669 that'll just say yes to anything almost? 0:04:48.940 --> 0:04:49.880 I don't know. Samuel L. 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.240 Jackson has been in some stinkers, but he turns the 0:04:52.260 --> 0:04:53.220 stinkers into winners. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.400 Like, Snakes on a Plane was a joke. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:56.300 Right. 0:04:56.620 --> 0:05:00.419 But that is legendary now. I've heard he'll, like, say 0:05:00.460 --> 0:05:02.700 yes to anything, but I also heard it's not just. 0:05:02.740 --> 0:05:04.080 Like, the easiest yes. 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:04.280 Like. 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.310 When he was doing one of the Star Wars movies, 0:05:07.350 --> 0:05:09.910 he was like, all right, but like... You're not taking, 0:05:09.930 --> 0:05:11.570 I know I have to die in this movie, but 0:05:11.589 --> 0:05:12.929 you're not taking me out like a bitch. 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:14.330 All right. 0:05:14.390 --> 0:05:17.400 I am not going down like a bitch in this movie. 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.580 He's one of the few people I think that can 0:05:19.660 --> 0:05:23.620 be a cool old guy in a movie. There's not 0:05:23.700 --> 0:05:25.920 too many of them where you're like, oh, you're old. 0:05:26.180 --> 0:05:28.820 George Clooney, I think is in there. I'm trying to 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.260 think other people who are on that list. You guys 0:05:30.300 --> 0:05:34.000 might have more, but there's like some level of the 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.599 older actors and they play parts that, And they still 0:05:37.740 --> 0:05:38.700 seem cool. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.130 In the moment. He's able to do that somehow. F 0:05:41.210 --> 0:05:45.070 is to pay respects. X to doubt. Okay. X to doubt. 0:05:45.410 --> 0:05:47.190 F to pay respects. We're not paying respects. 0:05:47.210 --> 0:05:49.150 Well, we could really pay both because she died a 0:05:49.190 --> 0:05:52.330 little bit in that moment, I think. His other post online, 0:05:52.370 --> 0:05:56.559 Samuel L. Jackson with 1.1 million views. After all these years, 0:05:56.620 --> 0:05:58.380 he says he still has it memorized. 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.800 The path of the righteous man is beset on all 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.400 sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny. 0:06:06.110 --> 0:06:06.909 Of evil men. 0:06:08.710 --> 0:06:11.840 Blessed is he who in the name of charity. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.450 And goodwill Seperates the weak through the valley of darkness. 0:06:15.570 --> 0:06:17.100 Whenever I see something, I guess I go, if I 0:06:17.140 --> 0:06:20.720 was in a movie and that movie was, let's say 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.360 10 years ago, 20 years ago, I know that I 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.960 would memorize the script while I was in the movie 0:06:26.980 --> 0:06:29.029 to try to do the best job that I possibly 0:06:29.130 --> 0:06:32.169 could for that production. But I don't know if all 0:06:32.210 --> 0:06:34.890 those years later, I would remember any of that stuff. 0:06:35.150 --> 0:06:38.029 Like I, I don't remember all these sorts of things. 0:06:38.070 --> 0:06:40.520 I only store a certain stuff in this, this brain 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.339 of mine. And, you know, it might have been that 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.700 he would have delivered the lines while shooting that movie. 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.770 I don't think they knew how big that movie was 0:06:50.790 --> 0:06:52.729 going to be when it was released because it was 0:06:53.089 --> 0:06:56.330 kind of an out there movie. So maybe as it 0:06:56.350 --> 0:06:58.799 became more popular, maybe people wanted him to do it 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:00.980 or he just saw it a bunch of times. 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.320 Do the thing? Yeah. Maybe he's kind of. 0:07:04.660 --> 0:07:06.240 Or maybe he just kind of looked it up before 0:07:06.260 --> 0:07:07.940 doing this video. 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.850 Yeah, it could be. It's off camera. It's on the side. 0:07:10.870 --> 0:07:13.430 The finder of lost children. 0:07:15.710 --> 0:07:16.510 Oh, now he's looking at the camera. 0:07:16.530 --> 0:07:20.570 And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance 0:07:21.270 --> 0:07:27.390 and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy 0:07:27.430 --> 0:07:35.380 my brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord. 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.980 When I lay my vengeance upon thee. 0:07:39.140 --> 0:07:41.160 All right, well, I'm not going to try to impersonate him. 0:07:41.180 --> 0:07:42.040 I'm going to leave that out. 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:48.360 Wasn't that the quote that, what's his name, Hegseth quoted? 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:49.100 Oh, was it? 0:07:49.140 --> 0:07:52.620 The Secretarial War guy tried to drop that? Yeah, and 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.840 it was like, he said it was like his favorite 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.840 quote from the Bible, or he said it was from 0:07:56.860 --> 0:07:58.460 the Bible, but it wasn't really. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.080 Like, it was, he used. 0:08:00.580 --> 0:08:03.940 definitely the Pulp Fiction version of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:08:04.020 --> 0:08:05.580 All right, we got a lot to get into today. 0:08:05.610 --> 0:08:08.290 We got a debate at, well, the power hour, the 0:08:08.330 --> 0:08:10.970 final hour of the show. I'll be talking with Scott 0:08:11.010 --> 0:08:13.470 Maxwell about the Amendment 3 drama and everything going on 0:08:13.490 --> 0:08:16.410 with that. We'll see how that bubbles up. Also, I 0:08:16.490 --> 0:08:19.030 have to get to this email. Craziest thing, man. I 0:08:19.470 --> 0:08:21.510 think we're going to explore this at some time today. 0:08:21.530 --> 0:08:23.310 I was going to do it for secret shows, but 0:08:23.330 --> 0:08:24.870 we'll just blast it out here on the main show. 0:08:25.870 --> 0:08:28.410 There was somebody who emailed me and said, Sean, you 0:08:28.450 --> 0:08:31.670 went to the Keys recently. And I was like, yeah, 0:08:31.710 --> 0:08:33.260 like a month ago. And he goes, when you came 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.200 back from the keys, you told a story of a 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.870 guy who had his ass kicked so bad he was 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.210 like dying on the sidewalk in front of this particular 0:08:42.410 --> 0:08:43.870 Irish bar in Key West. 0:08:44.860 --> 0:08:45.900 And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:08:46.380 --> 0:08:48.979 And the guy goes, I was just stumbling around through 0:08:49.020 --> 0:08:52.860 some videos, and I found the body cam footage from 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:57.710 the incident. And everything that happened with this guy that 0:08:57.730 --> 0:09:02.050 you saw covered in blood and on the sidewalk in 0:09:02.090 --> 0:09:02.470 front of this. 0:09:02.510 --> 0:09:04.650 What's the name of that Irish? Irish Kevin's. 0:09:05.070 --> 0:09:07.970 Irish Kevin's. And I said, oh, my God, I was 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.180 wondering what happened with that story. So I have the 0:09:10.260 --> 0:09:14.740 body cam footage. of what went down in that case. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.220 And I thought, man, our listeners are the best. You 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:18.860 guys are so amazing. You're sitting out there. 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.740 You're like, Hey, I think this is the thing that 0:09:20.860 --> 0:09:22.790 Sean saw. And I didn't watch it. 0:09:22.820 --> 0:09:26.059 So I don't know if I'm featured in the footage somewhere, 0:09:26.220 --> 0:09:28.940 but you know, obviously that's the most important part. If there's, 0:09:29.380 --> 0:09:31.939 if there's me, but I probably look like horrified, like, 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.859 Oh yeah. Guys on the sidewalk covered in blood. As 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.940 I step over his corpse. I don't know if I'm 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.520 in it or not, but we're going to watch that 0:09:39.570 --> 0:09:42.559 at some point during the show today. hello to uh 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.180 to my son by the way in chat over on 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:51.120 youtube which um you know happy birthday to you it's 0:09:51.179 --> 0:09:55.050 dylan's birthday it's my son's birthday today and he is 0:09:55.370 --> 0:09:57.150 he's getting old i don't know what to do with 0:09:57.190 --> 0:09:58.050 it anymore and then. 0:09:57.910 --> 0:09:59.850 I told him he was old he started to. 0:09:59.809 --> 0:10:02.960 Tell me that, you know, I'm even older than him, 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.130 old man, which he's very, very right about that. But 0:10:05.190 --> 0:10:08.550 happy birthday, Dylan, to my son out there. I texted 0:10:08.590 --> 0:10:11.689 him this morning and he said, thanks, you almost beat 0:10:11.750 --> 0:10:13.030 dad to it, LMAO. 0:10:13.090 --> 0:10:14.670 And I was like, damn it. Part of me, I 0:10:14.670 --> 0:10:17.930 was like, damn, man, I really, that would have been great. 0:10:18.050 --> 0:10:20.410 That would have been terrible. What are you talking about? 0:10:20.429 --> 0:10:22.550 It would have been great for me. All right, let's 0:10:22.590 --> 0:10:24.630 get into a couple of emails to get us started. 0:10:24.650 --> 0:10:26.490 We got some breaking news coming in that we got 0:10:26.510 --> 0:10:28.630 to hit. We'll probably get to that in the next segment. First, 0:10:28.990 --> 0:10:32.790 we have Melanie to tipsofthenewsjunkie.com. We talked about that Jewish 0:10:32.870 --> 0:10:37.910 community in South Florida yesterday. Melanie responds and says, hey, Sean, sorry, 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.050 I'm a little behind, but the live broadcast today is 0:10:40.100 --> 0:10:42.700 catching me up and I'm listening on YouTube. You were 0:10:42.740 --> 0:10:46.340 talking about that lakefront Jewish community earlier. This area is 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:50.059 located just south of Okeechobee on the lake. I drive 0:10:50.100 --> 0:10:51.739 past it every other week and I've watched over the 0:10:51.780 --> 0:10:53.939 last several months as these houses are being developed on 0:10:53.980 --> 0:10:56.260 what seems like a very small piece of property. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.179 The houses are huge. 0:10:58.780 --> 0:11:01.880 Kind of reminds me of the Monopoly hotels. Imagine a 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:06.120 town like Celebration being built with a large square, seven 0:11:06.179 --> 0:11:08.200 bedroom houses, one on top of the other. 0:11:08.330 --> 0:11:11.750 Seven bedroom houses. That's a big house, man. A seven 0:11:11.790 --> 0:11:13.210 bedroom house is a big house. 0:11:13.390 --> 0:11:16.290 Somebody in the texting service yesterday when we talked about 0:11:16.309 --> 0:11:19.170 this was like, So it's the Jewish villages? 0:11:19.950 --> 0:11:22.080 I think that's kind of what they're building. 0:11:22.100 --> 0:11:25.040 I think the Jewish people are literally fleeing New York, 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.940 if what I'm hearing is true, and going to build 0:11:27.980 --> 0:11:31.360 this community, some of them at least, in South Florida, 0:11:31.420 --> 0:11:35.209 excuse me. And they're building all of these houses right 0:11:35.250 --> 0:11:38.429 on top of each other. And it's like all Hasidic Jews, 0:11:38.690 --> 0:11:40.730 as far as the eye can see, on this property 0:11:40.750 --> 0:11:43.390 that they have out there. A lot of the signage 0:11:43.429 --> 0:11:45.750 is in another language as well as English. I would 0:11:45.770 --> 0:11:48.570 imagine that's Hebrew, right? It's a little odd since it's 0:11:48.590 --> 0:11:51.300 the middle of absolutely nowhere and surrounded by retirement trailer 0:11:51.340 --> 0:11:54.800 park fishing communities. There are probably about 50 houses built 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.380 so far, and they're now working on what looks to 0:11:56.420 --> 0:11:58.640 be the town with shops. It's been interesting to watch 0:11:58.660 --> 0:12:02.210 the progress for sure. wiggle wiggle pop pop says melanie 0:12:02.250 --> 0:12:06.370 thank you melanie uh we have kayla emailing the show 0:12:06.450 --> 0:12:09.689 about the tattoo on a plane yesterday that we talked 0:12:09.770 --> 0:12:12.610 about i think that guy gave like nine people tattoos 0:12:12.670 --> 0:12:16.050 on the plane that's crazy i would never ever ever 0:12:16.090 --> 0:12:18.250 be like okay um i'm gonna go on a flight 0:12:18.290 --> 0:12:20.849 number one for no reason well i guess number two 0:12:20.870 --> 0:12:22.620 the reason would be that i was getting a tattoo 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:23.709 on said flight. 0:12:25.370 --> 0:12:26.390 That doesn't jive with me. 0:12:26.690 --> 0:12:28.929 I think that if I were the person, the kind 0:12:28.970 --> 0:12:34.010 of person who got tattoos and it was available, like 0:12:34.790 --> 0:12:37.120 I could line this up, I would get a tattoo 0:12:37.140 --> 0:12:37.660 of Border Plane. 0:12:38.260 --> 0:12:40.300 Yeah. Let's do it. Just like, here's the one. 0:12:40.340 --> 0:12:40.660 Let's do it. 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.140 Like, I got this one in the air. Let's bring. 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.979 Prank Monkey comes back just for a sea lane in-flight tattoo. 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.300 Center of your chest, we let Jackson draw it, and 0:12:51.340 --> 0:12:55.210 then we go with whatever it is. Like, huge, across 0:12:55.250 --> 0:12:59.330 the center of your chest. This is Kaylee Smith, who says, Hey, 0:12:59.370 --> 0:13:01.670 News Junkies, I'm the tattoo artist who wrote in about 0:13:01.710 --> 0:13:06.510 homeschool stuff recently. Regarding the plane tattoo, gross, Kaylee says. 0:13:06.950 --> 0:13:10.240 The most disgusting part is tattooing on a germ-ridden plane. 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.020 No way to possibly clean that enough, and it's not 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.830 sanitary at all. But the health department probably can't regulate 0:13:16.950 --> 0:13:20.069 plane tattooing, so maybe they don't need a permit for it. 0:13:20.390 --> 0:13:24.429 I'm not sure because that's actually revolving. Anyway, you can 0:13:24.500 --> 0:13:26.920 travel with all your tattoo equipment. Artists travel all over 0:13:26.940 --> 0:13:30.880 the world all the time with their supplies, including their 0:13:30.900 --> 0:13:33.500 machines and ink. I'm sure the TSA harasses some people 0:13:33.540 --> 0:13:36.439 about it. They make tiny half-ounce ink bottles, and you 0:13:36.460 --> 0:13:38.840 can take those on the plane. You cannot freeze ink 0:13:38.940 --> 0:13:41.750 or let it get too hot. It'll ruin it, says Kaylee. 0:13:41.950 --> 0:13:45.050 Thank you for the info, Kaylee. But half-ounce would be 0:13:45.110 --> 0:13:48.209 within the TSA guidelines, and then we were talking about 0:13:48.750 --> 0:13:51.310 You know, bringing that stuff through TSA and the fact 0:13:51.330 --> 0:13:54.920 that they call it a tattoo gun. And I was 0:13:55.020 --> 0:14:00.500 corrected by some crappy mailman that says, I hate to 0:14:00.540 --> 0:14:04.679 be the actual guy, but actually the tattoo gun name 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.189 is very controversial in the community, at least by the artists. 0:14:07.230 --> 0:14:10.809 It's kind of the magazine clip argument about guns. A 0:14:10.870 --> 0:14:13.130 lot of artists will quickly correct somebody and say it 0:14:13.170 --> 0:14:15.969 is a tattoo machine, I guess. So there's some sort 0:14:15.990 --> 0:14:18.540 of stigma about calling it a tattoo gun. And a 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.120 lot of tattoo artists prefer that they say a tattoo machine, 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:26.450 which you just read in that email. She said, you know, 0:14:26.550 --> 0:14:30.010 and she's a tattoo artist. She said people bring their 0:14:30.050 --> 0:14:31.530 machines on planes all the time. 0:14:31.970 --> 0:14:32.270 Yeah. 0:14:32.370 --> 0:14:32.490 Yeah. 0:14:32.550 --> 0:14:34.150 I mean, look, I just don't use them. 0:14:34.710 --> 0:14:36.880 That's the epitome of what is a helpful email to 0:14:36.910 --> 0:14:38.340 the show. If you're an expert on one of these 0:14:38.380 --> 0:14:40.240 things and you hear us talking about something, you can 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:41.280 provide more info. 0:14:41.300 --> 0:14:41.570 Do it. 0:14:42.100 --> 0:14:42.380 Eric. 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.979 For his Rate My Blank entry this week, it's Rate 0:14:45.020 --> 0:14:47.300 My Crime. That's our thing we're weaving in. We do 0:14:47.350 --> 0:14:49.830 this each week. We have a theme for Rate My Blank. 0:14:50.210 --> 0:14:52.430 This week, it's Rate My Crime, a crime you committed, 0:14:52.530 --> 0:14:55.310 almost committed, something you did, the story around it. Here 0:14:55.330 --> 0:14:58.420 is Eric. I haven't dispatched or emailed in a little while. 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.020 My name on the old app used to be Tater Boy. 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.360 I just wanted to send it a crime that I did. 0:15:03.660 --> 0:15:05.320 When I was younger, I figured out how the old 0:15:05.460 --> 0:15:07.280 soda machines where it says. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.660 Use correct change. I figured out how they work. 0:15:10.110 --> 0:15:12.910 If you pop off that part there and push the 0:15:12.990 --> 0:15:15.530 light back to get access to the wires, you could 0:15:15.570 --> 0:15:17.910 take a paper clip and unfold it and you could 0:15:17.990 --> 0:15:20.390 ground out the system and get all the money and 0:15:20.490 --> 0:15:22.210 sodas out of those soda machines. 0:15:22.790 --> 0:15:23.570 I had about. 0:15:23.330 --> 0:15:27.180 100 machines rigged and ready to go off of A1A 0:15:27.220 --> 0:15:30.100 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I lived off that money in 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.300 a hotel on the beach for about 18 months. I 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.720 ate the best foods and smoked the best weed, and 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.790 we always had good alcohol. Ended up in prison not 0:15:37.850 --> 0:15:39.990 too long after that for four years and 10 years 0:15:40.110 --> 0:15:43.230 on parole. But now I have two successful small businesses 0:15:43.290 --> 0:15:46.200 and doing better. You can F up and come back, 0:15:46.270 --> 0:15:48.450 this person says. You just have to work hard at it. 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:52.000 Looking forward to the live show, says Eric. Thank you 0:15:52.060 --> 0:15:52.520 so much. 0:15:52.660 --> 0:15:53.140 Interesting. 0:15:53.180 --> 0:15:57.060 So he was shorting the mechanism that tells the machine 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:58.240 a quarter was put in. 0:15:58.280 --> 0:15:58.560 Yeah. 0:15:58.740 --> 0:15:59.260 Yeah. 0:15:59.340 --> 0:16:01.900 And it zapped it somehow in a way that let 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.630 them have free sodas, I guess. Well, so you short it, 0:16:05.750 --> 0:16:09.770 and it registers one quarter, right? So say sodas were 0:16:09.770 --> 0:16:13.490 50 cents. You short it twice. then you get your 0:16:13.550 --> 0:16:16.620 soda and you're good to go well if you short 0:16:16.630 --> 0:16:22.310 it I don't know, eight times. Now you've put in $ 2. Well, 0:16:22.350 --> 0:16:25.270 the soda only costs 50 cents, so you get your soda, 0:16:25.610 --> 0:16:28.570 it dispenses the soda, and it refunds you. It gives 0:16:28.590 --> 0:16:34.210 you the change for what you overpaid for. What an 0:16:34.230 --> 0:16:36.840 annoying way to get rich, though. Well, yeah, it sounds like, 0:16:37.010 --> 0:16:40.500 I mean, unless I have this wrong, it sounds like 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.479 Tater Boy was bringing just sackfuls of quarters to his 0:16:43.500 --> 0:16:46.880 weed dealer. And I don't know how he was paying 0:16:46.900 --> 0:16:49.740 for the hotel, but he's all day. 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.820 Long at the soda machine. Shorten that thing up. 0:16:53.260 --> 0:16:55.940 OK, when we come back, we have some breaking news 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.260 coming in on a big topic we've been discussing. I 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.640 have a letter from somebody's HOA that we have to 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.850 get into. We'll get set up for that Amendment 3 0:17:04.850 --> 0:17:07.390 debate in the final hour of the show. That should 0:17:07.410 --> 0:17:10.310 be interesting. We got the six flag story and a 0:17:10.330 --> 0:17:12.850 whole bunch more. And it's all coming up next on 0:17:12.890 --> 0:17:13.850 the News Junkie. 0:17:23.210 --> 0:17:24.010 Oh, no. 0:17:24.030 --> 0:17:27.640 News incoming. Stand by. 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.480 Brace yourself for this. We're going to get to you. 0:17:31.530 --> 0:17:33.629 You can join us on the show, record a message 0:17:33.670 --> 0:17:36.100 with your thoughts. We call them dispatches, and you can 0:17:36.130 --> 0:17:39.800 record them on the News Junkie app or the website. C-Line, 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.760 terrible news for you. I hate to be the bearer 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:44.340 of this bad news. No. 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.580 But I have bad news. No, don't do this. Don't 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:48.570 put this on me. 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.790 Everybody who's listening right now knows damn well that you 0:17:52.810 --> 0:17:56.770 have been planning some sort of Fort Hood shooter execution party. 0:17:57.530 --> 0:17:59.650 And now that we have heard that it was called off, 0:17:59.730 --> 0:18:03.230 Trump called off the live stream of the Fort Hood 0:18:03.290 --> 0:18:04.890 shooter firing squad. 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:06.899 He's calling it off. 0:18:07.220 --> 0:18:09.240 And I don't know if it's true, but the theory 0:18:09.300 --> 0:18:12.119 for this is something I just absolutely love that somebody 0:18:12.380 --> 0:18:14.780 whispered in Trump's ear at some point in time, like, hey, 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.160 I don't know if you know this, but the Fort 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:21.100 Hood shooters in a wheelchair. And like you're telling me 0:18:21.180 --> 0:18:24.060 this for the first time, somehow that puts a damper 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.740 on the execution. If you like, if he had the 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:30.020 wheels of his wheelchair there and he rolled up, I 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.460 imagine the Fort Hood people will be like, I do 0:18:32.500 --> 0:18:33.780 not care either way. 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.500 Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen. 0:18:36.859 --> 0:18:39.550 But they said it was called off the live stream, 0:18:39.750 --> 0:18:42.109 which is a real letdown for both C-Lane, who is 0:18:42.150 --> 0:18:44.570 planning a party, as we all know. And one of 0:18:44.630 --> 0:18:48.150 my friends on Facebook who has been, I've never seen 0:18:48.170 --> 0:18:50.700 him more eager to watch anything else in my life. 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.560 He was really excited to watch this live stream execution. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.840 But his family is full of veterans, so he's got 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:57.900 a different vibe. 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.110 On this than you might. He really wanted to watch 0:19:00.140 --> 0:19:01.030 the retribution. 0:19:01.490 --> 0:19:05.230 President Donald Trump said on Thursday, Fort Hood shooter Nadal 0:19:05.250 --> 0:19:08.770 Hassan's firing execution will not be live streamed. 0:19:09.490 --> 0:19:10.340 I also wonder. 0:19:11.060 --> 0:19:14.879 Since we're on YouTube and Twitch on the show, youtube.com 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:16.859 slash the news junkie. If you ever want to watch, 0:19:17.500 --> 0:19:19.290 I also wonder if they were like, where are we 0:19:19.330 --> 0:19:23.330 going to stream this? There's no way that they couldn't 0:19:23.369 --> 0:19:24.950 figure out somebody who would carry this. 0:19:25.570 --> 0:19:29.379 I mean, maybe what's the what's the free speech one? 0:19:29.450 --> 0:19:30.280 Is it Rumble? 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.119 Maybe Rumble would do it and get a bunch of 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.820 advertisers on the side. And the only place to watch 0:19:36.900 --> 0:19:39.020 the live stream execution, they would get able to got 0:19:39.180 --> 0:19:39.659 bang up. 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:41.439 They could just pay somebody to. 0:19:43.869 --> 0:19:46.850 Show up there, set up a website, link it straight 0:19:46.869 --> 0:19:51.490 to WhiteHouse.gov or whatever they feel they need to do, Execution.gov. 0:19:51.510 --> 0:19:53.990 Maybe they have a new sexy name for it. It's 0:19:54.010 --> 0:19:55.650 got to be available, right? 0:19:55.950 --> 0:19:58.430 But, yeah, I don't think there's any way that if 0:19:58.470 --> 0:20:01.159 they really wanted to push this out there online. 0:20:02.500 --> 0:20:02.880 You're right. 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:07.700 Maybe YouTube would shut it down. Maybe they wouldn't. Maybe 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:12.020 YouTube would, you know. So I think they would. You 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:13.400 think they would shut it down? I think they would 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.120 shut it down. Yeah, I think they would have shut 0:20:15.140 --> 0:20:16.820 it down. I don't know if that's what factored in. 0:20:16.859 --> 0:20:19.530 I literally think maybe he learned that there was a 0:20:19.550 --> 0:20:21.609 little bit of a backlash here. Some people thought it 0:20:21.650 --> 0:20:25.530 was gross. Public opposition to the idea was like 80 0:20:25.530 --> 0:20:29.910 percent of U.S. adults, including 64 percent of Republicans. Not 0:20:29.950 --> 0:20:33.120 against the execution, mind you, against the idea of live 0:20:33.220 --> 0:20:36.020 streaming it. That was the thing that they sort of 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.420 took issue with. People mentioning it could have been on Netflix. 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.000 I mean, they're going to go nowhere near this. 0:20:41.060 --> 0:20:41.880 It's not popular. 0:20:41.900 --> 0:20:45.150 It was a very unpopular idea, the live stream part 0:20:45.170 --> 0:20:47.910 of this, save for with a particular crew of people. 0:20:47.970 --> 0:20:50.220 You might have liked it, but it was probably a 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.280 good idea to not live stream that. And that looks 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.850 like the position that we're in right now. Give us 0:20:55.869 --> 0:20:58.609 your thoughts on that with one of those dispatches I mentioned. Now, 0:20:59.170 --> 0:21:02.850 people get fuming over this stuff. Whenever I even just 0:21:02.950 --> 0:21:09.140 mention HOA, just the letters HOA, it'll usually get people. 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:14.419 We'll start to surface. I'll hear them. This thing has 0:21:14.460 --> 0:21:19.490 gone explosively viral. 2.5 million views over the last 24 hours. 0:21:20.050 --> 0:21:22.449 I don't know if this is true, but let's examine together. 0:21:22.990 --> 0:21:27.050 This is what this person says. My HOA, that's my 0:21:27.130 --> 0:21:30.980 Homeowners Association, sent me a letter requesting that I stop 0:21:31.020 --> 0:21:36.119 handing out full-size candy bars for Halloween this year. Fun 0:21:36.180 --> 0:21:39.790 size bars are 15 to 25 cents each. Full size 0:21:39.830 --> 0:21:43.050 are 75 cents to a dollar. Most people give out 0:21:43.090 --> 0:21:46.250 two to three fun size candy bars anyway. So the 0:21:46.310 --> 0:21:49.310 real difference is often only a few cents per kid. 0:21:49.970 --> 0:21:52.530 Am I crazy or is it weird for a homeowners 0:21:52.570 --> 0:21:55.430 association to police this? And he sends a letter, but 0:21:56.060 --> 0:22:00.960 keep in mind, it's 2026. Chat GPT can probably make 0:22:01.020 --> 0:22:04.080 a pretty good fake letter for anything. Damn, is it 0:22:04.100 --> 0:22:06.110 a good time to be a kid? You're like, oh, 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:07.889 I need to make sure I see your report card. 0:22:07.910 --> 0:22:12.090 All right, make me a report card, chat GPT, all 0:22:12.390 --> 0:22:15.470 A's and B's. Yeah, they could do that. But also 0:22:15.510 --> 0:22:20.980 the report cards can probably get sent digitally and have 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.140 the parents approve it through an app or so. They're 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.399 going to circumvent it any way they can. There's a 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:29.360 battle going on, a technology battle. But here's what this 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:34.340 allegedly said. It says October 13th, 2026. 0:22:34.340 --> 0:22:37.540 Dear residents, I hope this letter finds you well. 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:42.640 As we approach the Halloween season, the board, the HOA board, 0:22:42.980 --> 0:22:47.139 has been discussing ways to create a consistent, positive experience 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.540 for the children in our community who go trick-or-treating. 0:22:50.740 --> 0:22:52.040 Okay, that doesn't sound bad. 0:22:52.060 --> 0:22:56.500 I want the kids to have a good, positive experience trick-or-treating. 0:22:57.260 --> 0:22:59.540 It's a pastime, man. It's a thing that you do 0:22:59.580 --> 0:23:01.990 when you're a little kid. You go out, you enjoy 0:23:02.470 --> 0:23:04.790 some trick or treating. We do it in our neighborhood. 0:23:04.890 --> 0:23:07.770 I mean, we're not trick or treating, but we're giving 0:23:07.830 --> 0:23:08.869 out candy to the kids. 0:23:09.530 --> 0:23:11.870 So that's good. Let's keep them safe. Let's make it positive. 0:23:11.910 --> 0:23:15.690 But it continues. This year, the Homeowners Association is encouraging 0:23:15.890 --> 0:23:20.290 all residents to hand out fun-sized candy bars only. We 0:23:20.330 --> 0:23:24.490 are asking that full-size candy bars not be distributed. This 0:23:24.570 --> 0:23:27.730 request is intended to help keep the experience consistent throughout 0:23:27.770 --> 0:23:31.150 the neighborhood and to avoid situations where some homes feel 0:23:31.190 --> 0:23:36.260 the pressure to match larger offerings. We appreciate your cooperation 0:23:36.300 --> 0:23:39.180 with this request and thank you for helping make Halloween 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.510 enjoyable for the families in our community. Now, if this 0:23:42.570 --> 0:23:46.119 is real, the idea behind this seems to be If 0:23:46.180 --> 0:23:49.679 you're giving out full candy bars to the kids for Halloween, 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:54.540 you're putting pressure on your fellow neighbors to also up 0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:58.830 their game. And that pressure to your fellow neighbors is 0:23:58.910 --> 0:24:03.030 too far. You can't do that. It's like, we want 0:24:03.050 --> 0:24:05.850 to make sure this is fair for everybody. That is 0:24:05.930 --> 0:24:07.950 one of the dumbest things I've ever heard an HOA 0:24:07.970 --> 0:24:08.629 get involved in. 0:24:08.810 --> 0:24:09.070 Yeah. 0:24:09.090 --> 0:24:11.609 I don't know why they would ever do this. But also, 0:24:11.710 --> 0:24:15.180 I don't know that this has any, like, teeth. This 0:24:15.260 --> 0:24:21.460 letter is the association is encouraging all residents. We are 0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:25.470 asking that full size candy bars not be distributed. They're 0:24:25.490 --> 0:24:29.270 not demanding anything. And I don't think I mean, just 0:24:29.310 --> 0:24:31.690 because a letter comes from the HOA and you might 0:24:31.730 --> 0:24:34.890 get like scared about it because they have some sort 0:24:34.930 --> 0:24:37.860 of power over you. I don't think that they can. 0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:43.600 make any sort of enforcement action on this. They didn't 0:24:43.619 --> 0:24:46.720 mention fines or anything. Well, no, I don't think they can. 0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:51.820 There's nothing in the bylaws about Halloween candy. I don't know. 0:24:51.940 --> 0:24:55.090 What size it should be. I would hope not. I 0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:58.330 would hope that was the case. And maybe deepen the bylaws, C-Lane. 0:24:58.350 --> 0:25:02.550 It's like execution by firing squad if you have full-size bars. 0:25:02.690 --> 0:25:07.189 But if it was, maybe that would be enforceable, or 0:25:07.210 --> 0:25:11.090 maybe they could be able to legally. 0:25:10.790 --> 0:25:13.449 Back having some sort of fine for it. It would 0:25:13.470 --> 0:25:15.460 be stupid. I mean, they would be much more. 0:25:17.490 --> 0:25:20.050 Called out than just this letter that could be fake. 0:25:20.410 --> 0:25:21.830 Yeah, I don't know if this is real or not, 0:25:21.850 --> 0:25:25.600 but it's got a lot of people talking on social media. But, like, honestly, 0:25:25.740 --> 0:25:29.179 I don't think, unless there were something in the bylaws, or... 0:25:30.130 --> 0:25:31.929 Is there something in the bylaws that says you have 0:25:31.950 --> 0:25:33.110 to do what we say randomly? 0:25:33.130 --> 0:25:35.530 I don't know. We can put that on the list 0:25:35.550 --> 0:25:36.790 for Moses. I already have it. 0:25:37.070 --> 0:25:37.330 Okay. 0:25:37.369 --> 0:25:39.070 Let's see what he says about this, because that would 0:25:39.090 --> 0:25:42.169 be interesting. See which on TNJ chat, which you can 0:25:42.190 --> 0:25:45.460 visit a chat dot the news junkie dot com says 0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:47.860 I don't hand out candy on Halloween because I celebrate 0:25:47.900 --> 0:25:50.700 my birthday and I don't interact with kids when I'm drunk. 0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:52.880 Fair enough, Sea Witch. 0:25:53.220 --> 0:25:55.580 Does that mean that you put out the bucket, though, 0:25:55.700 --> 0:25:59.520 and the sign that says, hey, please be on your 0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:03.469 best behavior. Make sure you only take one. Make sure 0:26:03.490 --> 0:26:06.590 you don't go crazy. We've done that from time to time, 0:26:06.710 --> 0:26:10.369 and most people do follow the instructions. Not all of them, 0:26:10.550 --> 0:26:14.649 but most of them do. Another question for Moses. If 0:26:14.710 --> 0:26:18.960 you were to, in a spooky theme... Where I want 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:21.060 to decorate my house, but I don't want to actually 0:26:21.100 --> 0:26:24.119 hand out candy, leave out the bowl, and then have 0:26:24.140 --> 0:26:27.810 like a creepy sign that says, take one or die. 0:26:27.830 --> 0:26:31.350 Legal threat? Yeah. 0:26:31.730 --> 0:26:33.230 You could say, because you could do a lot of 0:26:33.290 --> 0:26:38.250 death type threats for Halloween under the guise that it's Halloween. Like, 0:26:38.530 --> 0:26:42.830 those who enter will turn to ghosts. It's anger to 0:26:42.869 --> 0:26:46.430 kill them, but you're not in trouble on account of it. 0:26:46.580 --> 0:26:49.200 It's Halloween, everybody. So let us know what you think. 0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:51.580 I'm sure you've seen these kind of things in your area. 0:26:51.619 --> 0:26:55.420 Send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie.com. It brings me back to... 0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:59.090 When Game of Magnets kicked off on this show, and 0:26:59.109 --> 0:27:02.730 if you're unfamiliar with the show, we have all these magnets, 0:27:02.770 --> 0:27:05.109 the news junkie magnets in so many different designs.

If you scroll down to the game 0:27:08.820 --> 0:27:12.399 of magnets link and there's tons of these great designs 0:27:12.420 --> 0:27:15.700 to say the news junkie and they're all numbered individual magnets. 0:27:16.170 --> 0:27:18.780 save for the first 1,000 of them that were unnumbered, right? 0:27:19.540 --> 0:27:22.200 And when this first went out there, the game of 0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.469 magnets was, and still is, that if you see one 0:27:25.490 --> 0:27:28.129 in the wild, it's in play, and you could grab 0:27:28.170 --> 0:27:31.290 it if you want to. And there was one particular 0:27:31.350 --> 0:27:34.800 apartment building where somebody sent over a sign and it said, 0:27:34.990 --> 0:27:38.320 we have received word that you people are participating in 0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:42.080 something called the game of magnets, pulling magnets off one 0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:46.560 another's cars. We want to hereby duly inform you that 0:27:47.020 --> 0:27:50.720 this game is not allowed on premises, yada, yada, yada. 0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:54.899 And they will get nitpicky on certain things that happen 0:27:54.940 --> 0:27:55.699 in these areas. 0:27:55.790 --> 0:27:57.370 But yeah, Let us know what you think. 0:27:57.390 --> 0:28:01.170 Send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie.com right now.

Oh, 0:28:09.300 --> 0:28:12.300 this is an admission here. We'll work this in. We 0:28:12.340 --> 0:28:14.620 have a rate my blank. That's something we do each week, 0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.240 and this week it's rate my crime. This is a 0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:19.920 submission for that. Here is Snob Lawson. 0:28:20.430 --> 0:28:22.050 What up, junkies? How you guys doing today? 0:28:22.150 --> 0:28:22.370 Hey! 0:28:23.050 --> 0:28:26.320 So my crime of the century back in the day was, 0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:31.000 you know, when you're broke in Orlando, how do you 0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.920 get money? Well, back in the day, when the East 0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:36.530 West was running how they used to run it with 0:28:36.570 --> 0:28:39.660 change machines. Pull it to a change machine, throw on 0:28:39.780 --> 0:28:43.860 a paper, a sticker, roll the tape in there, go 0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:46.390 do a five-mile loop, come back, and you got $ 7, 500. 0:28:45.870 --> 0:28:46.330 What? 0:28:47.010 --> 0:28:48.610 So when I was 16, 17, I was younger. 0:28:48.630 --> 0:28:50.350 I used to do that. It helped me get through 0:28:50.370 --> 0:28:51.010 some hard times. 0:28:51.070 --> 0:28:52.690 Tried not to do it too often back then, but 0:28:53.090 --> 0:28:53.690 it did happen. 0:28:53.910 --> 0:28:55.960 Anyways, that's my crime. 0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:59.810 Wiggle, wiggle, pop, pop. I thought for a second. Bookmark it. 0:29:00.300 --> 0:29:01.920 I thought for a second, Celan, he was going to go, 0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:04.030 I try not to do it too often these days. 0:29:04.150 --> 0:29:08.110 It's like, sometimes I still do the scam. All right, 0:29:08.150 --> 0:29:08.970 give us yours. 0:29:09.010 --> 0:29:12.680 You can join in on the Rate My Crime submissions 0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.980 this week as well with your thoughts and everything else 0:29:15.060 --> 0:29:16.980 over at thenewsjunkie.com. 0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:20.300 Okay. That's pretty clever. Let's see. I got updates on 0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:21.260 the Six Flags thing. 0:29:21.300 --> 0:29:22.600 We'll probably do that at the top of the hour 0:29:22.620 --> 0:29:26.380 because it's getting wild over there on that front. We 0:29:26.420 --> 0:29:29.160 got Fritz on the street coming up in about an 0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:32.770 hour and a half here on the show. I've got 0:29:32.810 --> 0:29:35.170 a thief that we got to work in. When we 0:29:35.210 --> 0:29:36.830 come back, I think maybe we'll do. There's a couple 0:29:36.870 --> 0:29:39.970 of updates to possibly work in on the Shane Gillis. 0:29:40.220 --> 0:29:42.740 snl front and a bunch of other things so we've 0:29:42.780 --> 0:29:45.560 got a lot to sort out and we'll bop into 0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:47.660 this in just a moment here that's coming up next 0:29:47.740 --> 0:29:49.060 on the news junkie. 0:29:58.710 --> 0:30:00.670 There you go.

Go do that or send an email over 0:30:18.790 --> 0:30:20.730 at tips at the news junkie dot com. 0:30:21.150 --> 0:30:21.790 OK, I had. 0:30:21.670 --> 0:30:25.040 This story about six flags that I wanted to get 0:30:25.100 --> 0:30:28.840 to here because it is pretty crazy. This guy that died. Now, 0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:31.719 we've been following this for a bit here. This poor guy, 0:30:31.740 --> 0:30:36.200 he was a roller coaster aficionado. Wanted to go on 0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:39.640 this roller coaster called Goliath at Six Flags. 0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:40.990 Went on it. 0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:44.800 Now, question mark happened at that point. I want to 0:30:45.060 --> 0:30:47.440 make sure everybody's on board with this. We do not 0:30:47.500 --> 0:30:50.100 know at this point in time as I'm talking. We 0:30:50.180 --> 0:30:53.620 don't know what went wrong on this roller coaster. However, 0:30:53.660 --> 0:30:56.130 ceiling that has not stopped anybody from filling in the 0:30:56.150 --> 0:30:58.010 blanks with whatever they want. 0:30:58.150 --> 0:30:59.830 You know, fanfic and the whole thing. 0:30:59.850 --> 0:31:00.550 Yeah. 0:31:00.610 --> 0:31:03.070 As they tend to do, they were saying, well, this 0:31:03.110 --> 0:31:05.810 guy was too fat for the ride. They have no 0:31:05.870 --> 0:31:08.090 idea how much this guy weighed or how big he was. 0:31:08.110 --> 0:31:10.870 They're just making things up. He was doing this. He 0:31:10.910 --> 0:31:13.050 was doing that. He was trying to make a viral video. 0:31:13.770 --> 0:31:16.410 And then I've seen people sending around other videos. This 0:31:16.490 --> 0:31:18.470 one says, check out this video from a while back 0:31:18.530 --> 0:31:21.230 showing riders on the same Goliath roller coaster where a 0:31:21.250 --> 0:31:24.030 man was ejected this week. They're trying to lock in 0:31:24.070 --> 0:31:27.730 their safety mechanisms while rising to the top of the 0:31:27.770 --> 0:31:30.770 first drop. This ride was a disaster waiting to happen. 0:31:31.770 --> 0:31:34.550 And the dad and his family are like pushing back 0:31:35.230 --> 0:31:38.390 to clinch in the things. And the mom's like, can 0:31:38.410 --> 0:31:40.270 you check mine? And they push them all in a 0:31:40.270 --> 0:31:43.950 little further. Can you try mine, she said. 0:31:43.970 --> 0:31:46.110 All right. 0:31:47.670 --> 0:31:52.240 They're all pushing in on him. Right before they go 0:31:52.300 --> 0:31:54.240 to the big drop on the roller coaster, right? Same 0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:56.980 exact roller coaster, all this stuff. And a bunch of 0:31:57.020 --> 0:32:00.940 dodos see this and go, this is the problem. There 0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:04.090 was an issue. There was a problem with this because 0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:05.870 it wasn't properly locked in. 0:32:06.450 --> 0:32:07.970 This is just how this works. 0:32:08.090 --> 0:32:08.430 Yeah. 0:32:09.390 --> 0:32:13.610 You can always pull your harness in another click further. 0:32:14.290 --> 0:32:15.840 The problem is you might get it too tight. You 0:32:15.860 --> 0:32:18.060 might make it seem it's very uncomfortable for you. 0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:21.290 Which I have done. Absolutely something happened. Which I have done. 0:32:21.310 --> 0:32:23.780 Like, and then, like, I... spend the rest of the 0:32:23.820 --> 0:32:27.680 rollercoaster ride. Like you'll get, you know, you sit in the, the, 0:32:27.820 --> 0:32:31.530 the car, your, your seat and they push it down 0:32:31.610 --> 0:32:34.250 so much for you. But then when you start to 0:32:34.290 --> 0:32:36.770 go up the thing and you you're leaned back, now 0:32:36.810 --> 0:32:38.470 you kind of feel a little bit of wiggle room 0:32:38.530 --> 0:32:40.969 here and you might go, I'm going to do this 0:32:41.030 --> 0:32:42.890 in one more click, you know, just to be sure. 0:32:42.910 --> 0:32:44.230 Right. I've done that. 0:32:44.670 --> 0:32:46.660 And then I've spent the rest of the rollercoaster or 0:32:46.700 --> 0:32:49.470 really the whole rollercoaster now, because we're just getting started and, 0:32:50.220 --> 0:32:55.060 um you know breathing quite shallow absolutely yes this same 0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:56.820 thing has happened to me where you're like oh look 0:32:56.840 --> 0:33:00.140 it clicked the click doesn't imply you weren't secure you're 0:33:00.220 --> 0:33:02.290 you're locked in oh god i hate when they go 0:33:02.350 --> 0:33:05.489 over the oh this thing has. 0:33:05.450 --> 0:33:09.550 A big drop. 0:33:10.740 --> 0:33:13.130 The idea from these folks was that they would have 0:33:13.250 --> 0:33:15.290 fallen out of the ride if that wasn't the case. 0:33:15.370 --> 0:33:16.310 This is not true. 0:33:16.370 --> 0:33:18.650 This is just people trying to find a reason for 0:33:18.670 --> 0:33:21.550 this terrible tragedy that happened. Now, we'll probably figure one 0:33:21.590 --> 0:33:23.810 out at some point in time. There's another one where 0:33:23.830 --> 0:33:25.430 this guy goes, my friend almost flew out. 0:33:25.390 --> 0:33:27.800 Of his seat. I'm going to mute it because they 0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:28.320 probably curse. 0:33:28.630 --> 0:33:30.640 These young guys are on the same roller coaster at 0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:34.140 Six Flags, and the friend pops up during each drop, 0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:35.840 and they go, my friend almost fell out of the seat. 0:33:35.860 --> 0:33:38.720 This ride is so dangerous. All these people are so. 0:33:39.980 --> 0:33:42.860 deeply searching for any kind of clout on a situation 0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:46.670 like this, that they're posting fake ass videos. He's purposely 0:33:46.730 --> 0:33:50.530 trying to stand his body up every single time the 0:33:50.570 --> 0:33:53.450 roller coaster goes down because the gravity frees him to 0:33:53.490 --> 0:33:56.030 do it. Again, this is not proof that anybody's not 0:33:56.090 --> 0:33:59.240 locked in. There's probably a reason why all this happened 0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:02.780 and they'll get down to that. But everybody online seems 0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:05.300 to just kind of want to be, I don't know, 0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:09.419 instant expert on each topic like this. And the first 0:34:09.460 --> 0:34:12.000 person to be like, I know what really happened in 0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:15.410 this situation. So, yeah, there's a lot of that going around. 0:34:15.450 --> 0:34:17.549 If you see it out there, just wait until they 0:34:17.590 --> 0:34:18.290 say what's going on. 0:34:19.550 --> 0:34:21.250 I won't believe. 0:34:20.989 --> 0:34:24.110 It until I see the three facts I need to 0:34:24.170 --> 0:34:25.910 know from the world's most viral newsroom. 0:34:26.969 --> 0:34:27.509 That's right. 0:34:27.989 --> 0:34:30.089 That's when you know you know the truth. Thank you 0:34:30.140 --> 0:34:34.060 for recognizing that, Celia. Six Flags Over Georgia, the place 0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:36.680 where this all happened, though, has renamed one of the 0:34:36.739 --> 0:34:40.189 shows that they do. They had a show called Dead 0:34:40.230 --> 0:34:44.650 Man's Fright Fest, and now they're reopening on this weekend. 0:34:44.670 --> 0:34:47.860 They're reopening, and they didn't want to have Dead Man's 0:34:47.900 --> 0:34:50.879 Fright Fest anymore, so they've changed it to just Fright 0:34:50.920 --> 0:34:53.640 Fest in the wake of the accident that happened. 0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:55.900 With the roller coaster. That's not the haunted house that 0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:56.880 he landed in, is it? 0:34:57.460 --> 0:35:00.739 I'm not sure, but he did fall out of the 0:35:00.790 --> 0:35:02.689 ride and land on top of a haunted house roof. 0:35:02.710 --> 0:35:06.190 That would be very unfortunate if he landed on Dead 0:35:06.230 --> 0:35:06.969 Man's Fright Fest. 0:35:07.350 --> 0:35:09.530 Yeah, and you would have to change that forever. 0:35:09.550 --> 0:35:10.730 I mean, I don't even know if this is going 0:35:10.750 --> 0:35:13.220 to cut it, but they removed dead man's from the 0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:16.540 fright fest event that they have at Six Flags over Georgia. 0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:19.200 Give us your thoughts. Go to the news junkie dot com. 0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:22.020 Now, I know all these other places from Six Flags 0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:26.180 in different locations to SeaWorld, et cetera, et cetera, are 0:35:26.410 --> 0:35:28.890 trying to shut down their own roller coasters to see 0:35:28.910 --> 0:35:30.750 if there's any risk there. I think that's just out 0:35:30.770 --> 0:35:33.589 of an abundance of caution, which seems smart. Let's see 0:35:33.610 --> 0:35:35.390 what we got here for you. You can join the show, 0:35:35.440 --> 0:35:38.120 as I said, with your dispatches, and I've got a 0:35:38.180 --> 0:35:41.880 couple of people who want to do just that. Somebody's 0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:45.900 talking about trick-or-treating as Halloween gets closer. We had the 0:35:45.940 --> 0:35:49.020 story about the HOA that allegedly told people in the 0:35:49.180 --> 0:35:52.640 HOA you cannot give out full candy bars. It's too 0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:54.860 much pressure on the other houses, so everybody needs to 0:35:54.880 --> 0:35:59.439 do fun size. Here's Heartland with a dispatch joining the show. 0:36:00.190 --> 0:36:04.609 So where I live in rural central Illinois, a lot 0:36:04.660 --> 0:36:08.399 of trick-or-treaters usually turn at the street to the north 0:36:08.460 --> 0:36:12.020 of my house. So usually if there's houses along my street, 0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:19.319 they skip those houses completely. So I've usually participated in 0:36:19.420 --> 0:36:24.200 our community's trunk-or-treat, which usually falls on the first night 0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:27.160 of the trick-or-treating because we do two nights. 0:36:27.710 --> 0:36:28.069 Oh, nice! 0:36:28.410 --> 0:36:32.250 So I just participate in the trunk or treat and 0:36:32.310 --> 0:36:34.969 not even hand out candy on Halloween. 0:36:35.190 --> 0:36:37.219 That's a newer thing, but people seem to like that. 0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:39.759 Trunk or treat? Sure. 0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:41.890 I think it's usually, they have it at the park 0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:45.620 near my house and everybody gathers and brings their families 0:36:45.660 --> 0:36:47.840 over and it's ultra safe as far as you know. 0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:51.219 And people pop open their trunks and then they, you know, 0:36:51.280 --> 0:36:54.239 kids can trick or treat as they're going around the 0:36:54.320 --> 0:36:57.890 outside perimeter of the park. Which I'm good with that, too. 0:36:57.910 --> 0:36:59.990 I think that's pretty fun. I'm glad that they added that. 0:37:01.489 --> 0:37:05.210 Here is Insecure Walrus, who said he almost broke a law. 0:37:05.270 --> 0:37:06.069 Let's listen in. 0:37:06.610 --> 0:37:09.940 First crime that comes to mind for me, growing up 0:37:10.180 --> 0:37:11.719 all through high school and a little bit after, I 0:37:12.200 --> 0:37:17.140 worked in radio. And I did news gathering, like man-on-the-street interviews. 0:37:17.180 --> 0:37:19.280 I had my own radio show about big band music. 0:37:19.460 --> 0:37:20.120 Nice. 0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:23.420 Did everything I could do and eventually became the assistant 0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:25.740 engineer for a group of four radio stations. 0:37:25.780 --> 0:37:26.180 And one day. 0:37:26.670 --> 0:37:30.270 I was walking by the studio and the country music 0:37:30.310 --> 0:37:32.069 jock that was on the air sticks his head out 0:37:32.090 --> 0:37:34.569 and goes, hey, come here. And he gave me two names. 0:37:34.670 --> 0:37:36.910 One of them was Nanette and one of them was 0:37:36.950 --> 0:37:41.020 like Fred. And he said, pick one. Well, Nanette was 0:37:41.060 --> 0:37:43.790 my cousin. And so I picked her. Well, it turns 0:37:43.850 --> 0:37:46.029 out I picked who won a jet ski in a 0:37:46.070 --> 0:37:51.750 radio contest. Unknowingly, I violated an FCC law about contest rigging. 0:37:51.790 --> 0:37:52.410 Come get me! 0:37:52.430 --> 0:37:53.950 At that point, I really couldn't do anything about it. 0:37:53.950 --> 0:37:54.770 It was kind of an accident. 0:37:55.670 --> 0:37:55.930 Oh, well. 0:37:56.110 --> 0:37:58.450 Come get me. I'm on the same bandwagon, my friend. 0:37:58.469 --> 0:37:59.470 I've done that many times. 0:37:59.530 --> 0:38:03.100 Send us your dispatches over at thenewsjunkie.com right now. 0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:06.440 Maybe don't say that. In fact, true story. I've told 0:38:06.460 --> 0:38:08.819 this before, I think, right? I don't know. 0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:13.739 I won't say what station this happened at. I won't 0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:16.680 give the FCC any more information. But it used to 0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:19.820 be that we had to get that blank number caller 0:38:19.920 --> 0:38:20.620 for prizes. 0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:21.359 Sure. 0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:24.890 And the station was like in the 90s. So, like, 0:38:24.930 --> 0:38:28.650 you know, 97 this or 99 this. And they'd go, like, 0:38:28.690 --> 0:38:31.430 a caller 99. 0:38:30.750 --> 0:38:32.690 Gets the prize. And I'd start. 0:38:32.469 --> 0:38:38.759 Counting that 1, 2, 63, 81. Like, there's no way 0:38:38.820 --> 0:38:41.980 I'm counting out each of these individual calls. 0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:43.520 Yeah, I don't think anybody did that. 0:38:44.430 --> 0:38:46.690 But that's technically against the rules of what he's saying 0:38:46.750 --> 0:38:50.150 is correct. No, he's saying he picked his cousin like 0:38:50.190 --> 0:38:54.480 a family member. Yeah, he did that, too. Well, but 0:38:54.620 --> 0:38:57.239 the actual radio host was didn't want to make the 0:38:57.320 --> 0:38:58.739 choice between the two, I think. 0:38:59.530 --> 0:39:02.190 And he just had to pick one of them, I guess. Nanette, right? 0:39:02.489 --> 0:39:05.570 Also, it sounds like he might not have known that 0:39:05.880 --> 0:39:07.339 it was the same Nanette. He was just like, oh, 0:39:07.380 --> 0:39:08.899 that's a nice name. My cousin's name is Nanette. 0:39:09.000 --> 0:39:09.920 I'll pick Nanette. 0:39:10.340 --> 0:39:12.779 If you didn't know until afterwards, I don't think you've 0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:15.239 committed a crime. Yeah, you haven't done anything wrong at all. 0:39:15.420 --> 0:39:18.160 I think you're completely fine if you didn't know until afterwards. 0:39:18.719 --> 0:39:21.580 But I appreciate the dispatch anyhow. All right, we're going 0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:23.759 to hear from more of you as the show goes on. 0:39:23.810 --> 0:39:27.169 I got to get into this video from the key situation. 0:39:27.230 --> 0:39:29.930 I'm interested to explore that and see if I'm featured 0:39:29.989 --> 0:39:30.740 in it anywhere. 0:39:31.580 --> 0:39:33.980 And, and the story about what happened to that guy. 0:39:34.060 --> 0:39:34.920 I told the story. 0:39:34.940 --> 0:39:37.200 If you missed this, when it came back from the keys, 0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:41.380 we were in the Duval street area in key West, 0:39:41.920 --> 0:39:44.360 and we were walking on the sidewalk and Cordy and 0:39:44.420 --> 0:39:47.460 I go, what the hell? Then there's this bloody man 0:39:47.780 --> 0:39:51.110 on the sidewalk. I mean, he's covered in blood. And 0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:53.910 somebody runs over to the cop car nearby us, and 0:39:53.930 --> 0:39:55.030 somebody goes, this. 0:39:54.910 --> 0:39:56.430 Guy's bleeding out over here. 0:39:57.300 --> 0:40:00.020 I said, oh, my God. And the cop runs over 0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:01.880 to help this guy up. He's trying to get up, 0:40:01.900 --> 0:40:04.930 but he looks like a zombie because he's completely out 0:40:04.969 --> 0:40:08.510 of it and faces all busted. And we walk past 0:40:08.550 --> 0:40:10.270 him and the cops end up helping him out. And 0:40:10.430 --> 0:40:12.060 Courtney's like, is he going to die? 0:40:13.910 --> 0:40:16.570 Of course, I'm like always. I'm like, no, he's fine. 0:40:16.610 --> 0:40:17.890 He'll sleep it off. He'll be fine. 0:40:18.510 --> 0:40:20.200 We didn't know what happened in this story, but it 0:40:20.239 --> 0:40:23.540 was really bad. And somebody sent an email and they said, 0:40:23.560 --> 0:40:26.130 I was just kind of searching along through these body 0:40:26.170 --> 0:40:28.640 cam websites. And I found the body cam from the 0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:32.339 exact incident where, That you were talking about. And he 0:40:32.380 --> 0:40:35.140 sent it over to me. And I go, no way 0:40:35.180 --> 0:40:36.940 this is it. But I hit it. It's like, oh, 0:40:36.960 --> 0:40:37.860 September 12th. 0:40:37.920 --> 0:40:39.799 That's it. That was the day after. That's the guy. 0:40:39.840 --> 0:40:41.910 So I have the story.

I don't know how you found this, 0:42:44.530 --> 0:42:47.509 but I'm glad that you did because the moment I 0:42:47.610 --> 0:42:52.219 saw that this was indeed Key West, And it was 0:42:52.300 --> 0:42:57.550 indeed the day of the 12th, 9-12. I asked Courtney, 0:42:57.590 --> 0:43:00.430 and she said, yep, it happened on 9-11. It was 0:43:00.450 --> 0:43:03.570 the night of 9-11 that that story happened that I 0:43:03.610 --> 0:43:07.390 told people about. And I know that because one guy 0:43:07.410 --> 0:43:11.029 at some point was across me at the bar, and 0:43:11.070 --> 0:43:13.360 he said, y'all got any 9-11 specials? 0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:17.380 And I thought, well, that's weird.

This was the actual person 0:43:36.010 --> 0:43:39.210 who was in that incident. He's wearing a class shirt 0:43:39.370 --> 0:43:41.130 as he pulls up to speak to the police with 0:43:41.170 --> 0:43:43.390 some guy stationed to file a follow up report about 0:43:43.430 --> 0:43:45.930 an incident the previous night during which he was injured 0:43:45.950 --> 0:43:47.960 while two security guards removed him from a bar. 0:43:48.920 --> 0:43:51.799 Yep. A little overdid it with the bouncers there. 0:43:51.969 --> 0:43:52.200 Okay. 0:43:52.469 --> 0:43:54.589 He's trying to drink his water bottle. The bouncers names 0:43:54.770 --> 0:43:56.710 that were there. The officers that were there. 0:43:56.850 --> 0:43:58.170 Give me, give me. 0:43:58.250 --> 0:44:00.830 This guy, I can already tell this guy is having 0:44:01.070 --> 0:44:03.569 such a rough time from the night before. You can 0:44:03.610 --> 0:44:06.190 watch this over on youtube.com slash the news junkie. He's 0:44:06.250 --> 0:44:09.260 leaning on the pole next to this cop. He's got 0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:12.760 a bottle of water that he's like crushing and crunching. 0:44:12.780 --> 0:44:16.160 And he is hung over as hell. Now, when I 0:44:16.219 --> 0:44:19.080 had seen him that night in front of that Irish bar, 0:44:19.100 --> 0:44:22.270 you said it's called Kevin's Irish bar. Irish Kevin's Irish 0:44:22.290 --> 0:44:25.469 Kevin's bar in Key West. When I saw him, his 0:44:25.610 --> 0:44:28.989 face was from the top of his forehead to his 0:44:29.070 --> 0:44:32.569 chin covered in blood. And he couldn't stand. He would 0:44:32.610 --> 0:44:34.450 stand up and he would fall back down on his 0:44:34.510 --> 0:44:36.469 face over and over and over again. It was so 0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:40.799 tough to watch. This is the day after. And he 0:44:40.920 --> 0:44:42.320 is definitely feeling it. 0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:43.239 I know there's video on. 0:44:43.200 --> 0:44:44.080 The street all over here. 0:44:44.380 --> 0:44:46.759 Let me go get the officer that was here last night. 0:44:46.800 --> 0:44:47.320 I'm Josh. 0:44:47.469 --> 0:44:49.430 This is Christopher. 0:44:49.650 --> 0:44:52.050 Christopher. 0:44:52.370 --> 0:44:53.330 No, I understand. 0:44:53.350 --> 0:44:53.989 I'm embarrassed. 0:44:54.170 --> 0:44:54.770 Chris, do you. 0:44:54.650 --> 0:44:57.270 Remember having the officer come and talk to you last night? 0:44:57.670 --> 0:44:58.950 I don't really know. 0:44:58.969 --> 0:45:02.040 I was at the bar and had a bachelor party, 0:45:02.100 --> 0:45:02.560 of course. 0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:04.760 Oh, a bachelor party! 0:45:04.860 --> 0:45:05.340 Of course. 0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:07.900 I should have known. It was a bachelor. 0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:10.009 There were so many bachelor parties in town that week, 0:45:10.030 --> 0:45:13.109 and I think that happens a lot in Key West. Yeah, 0:45:13.130 --> 0:45:16.029 why not? You have bachelor and bachelorette parties everywhere, kind 0:45:16.050 --> 0:45:20.109 of like Nashville or Vegas. It's one of those locations. 0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:22.980 And the people at these parties get so drunk. 0:45:23.700 --> 0:45:25.600 We go into the bar, and I guess I fell 0:45:25.680 --> 0:45:26.759 out of a chair. I don't know. 0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:30.780 Robert, my friend, was like, let's get him out of here, 0:45:31.130 --> 0:45:32.150 and I guess they took me out. 0:45:32.170 --> 0:45:36.170 I don't know what happened after that. I might be concussed. 0:45:36.190 --> 0:45:37.430 I don't really know. Yeah, no. 0:45:37.510 --> 0:45:37.989 You are. 0:45:38.010 --> 0:45:41.350 So we saw the video, and so when we got 0:45:41.370 --> 0:45:43.509 the video, we sent the officer that was working on 0:45:43.550 --> 0:45:45.430 this back out to the hospital to talk to you 0:45:45.550 --> 0:45:48.790 because you got thrown out of the bar, which we did. 0:45:48.640 --> 0:45:51.100 Not agree with at all in any fashion. So that's 0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:51.560 what happened. 0:45:51.580 --> 0:45:54.799 So because we had the officer go back out there, 0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:57.680 and because of your intoxication level at that point, you 0:45:57.700 --> 0:45:57.870 did not. 0:45:58.040 --> 0:45:59.940 Who is the guy with the hat on? 0:46:00.500 --> 0:46:00.950 I don't know. 0:46:01.070 --> 0:46:02.230 It says Everglades on his shirt. 0:46:02.270 --> 0:46:04.890 He's somebody who took the guy who was all bloody 0:46:05.530 --> 0:46:07.759 and brought him to the police officer who you hear 0:46:07.800 --> 0:46:08.460 talking right now. 0:46:09.000 --> 0:46:11.860 I wonder if it's like a friend or a lawyer. 0:46:12.460 --> 0:46:14.440 It could be. I wouldn't be surprised. 0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:17.700 Or a body cam video channel. I don't know who 0:46:17.739 --> 0:46:19.299 it is, but they wanted what was going on here. 0:46:19.820 --> 0:46:22.260 And you heard the cops say, we saw the video. 0:46:22.830 --> 0:46:25.109 And have you ever seen in a movie where they 0:46:25.150 --> 0:46:27.310 throw somebody out of a club and they're sort of 0:46:27.330 --> 0:46:28.130 like the bouncers? 0:46:28.330 --> 0:46:29.069 There's two of them. 0:46:29.290 --> 0:46:29.550 Yeah. 0:46:29.570 --> 0:46:33.069 They just heave ho the person out. It's cartoonish. 0:46:33.489 --> 0:46:33.729 Yeah. 0:46:33.910 --> 0:46:34.489 Yeah. 0:46:34.630 --> 0:46:36.450 And I think they even show the clip of it 0:46:36.469 --> 0:46:37.009 happening here. 0:46:37.340 --> 0:46:40.859 So this guy's eye is all busted up, probably some 0:46:40.900 --> 0:46:44.460 broken bones in there. He's looking real rough. And he's like, 0:46:44.520 --> 0:46:46.279 I don't remember what happened. But the cop goes, we 0:46:46.340 --> 0:46:49.189 saw it. We thought this was unbelievable and unacceptable. 0:46:49.590 --> 0:46:50.170 I think we're as well. 0:46:50.190 --> 0:46:51.529 I want to talk to him at all. So we 0:46:51.550 --> 0:46:53.750 couldn't go any further with that. But that officer is 0:46:53.810 --> 0:46:54.430 here tonight. 0:46:54.570 --> 0:46:55.069 That was there. 0:46:55.210 --> 0:46:56.950 So we can take the rest of the story from 0:46:57.010 --> 0:46:58.549 you now and then proceed forward. 0:46:58.570 --> 0:46:59.739 I don't really have a lot of the story. 0:46:59.780 --> 0:47:02.860 That's fine because I saw the video, too. 0:47:02.900 --> 0:47:03.160 Okay. 0:47:03.560 --> 0:47:07.200 I saw the video, too. It is horrifying. I didn't 0:47:07.460 --> 0:47:09.900 mean to interrupt. Will they be arrested? 0:47:10.700 --> 0:47:13.370 Based on what I saw, so we'll have to continue 0:47:13.390 --> 0:47:15.969 the investigation. We have the names of everybody and all 0:47:16.010 --> 0:47:18.430 that stuff, and there was a police report generated. So 0:47:18.450 --> 0:47:20.469 this officer that was there is going to continue the 0:47:20.510 --> 0:47:23.779 investigation today. But that was our... point that we didn't 0:47:23.860 --> 0:47:26.360 have yesterday is if he wanted to pursue criminal charges 0:47:26.400 --> 0:47:28.239 against him because yes i. 0:47:28.239 --> 0:47:30.180 Saw a little bit of that when they grabbed him 0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:32.660 he was so out of it and so concussed and 0:47:32.719 --> 0:47:35.960 so bloody and busted that he didn't know if the 0:47:36.020 --> 0:47:39.540 cops were on his side or not and he he 0:47:39.580 --> 0:47:42.680 was antagonistic to the police and they're saying like we 0:47:42.700 --> 0:47:44.569 were asking you if you wanted to press charges and 0:47:44.590 --> 0:47:46.130 you didn't you weren't with it enough. 0:47:47.030 --> 0:47:50.310 Oh are you already watching the video Why are you 0:47:50.330 --> 0:47:52.299 skipping ahead?

He's just trying 0:55:38.960 --> 0:55:41.610 to get the elbow away from him.

It just is police body cam. 0:57:51.010 --> 0:57:55.640 And this is of a moment where they said this 0:57:55.660 --> 0:58:01.220 guy should have had a career in being a stuntman 0:58:01.520 --> 0:58:04.580 on a Hollywood set. This was somebody who was in 0:58:04.620 --> 0:58:06.620 this house. It's a big problem that people have to 0:58:06.640 --> 0:58:08.520 deal with all the time. If you have a house 0:58:08.540 --> 0:58:11.800 that's left open, the tweakers will get in there and 0:58:11.820 --> 0:58:14.010 they'll start stealing the copper out of your walls. 0:58:14.190 --> 0:58:16.270 True. It's a low level thing, man. 0:58:16.330 --> 0:58:20.490 It's like it's the lowest common denominator thievery going on. 0:58:20.830 --> 0:58:23.950 Could you imagine, would you have any interest in maybe 0:58:23.970 --> 0:58:26.930 just spending a day in this person's shoes?

And 0:58:47.750 --> 0:58:51.030 she was wearing scream slippers in the middle of the 0:58:51.120 --> 0:58:55.560 day at the Home Depot.

He's out 1:02:56.870 --> 1:02:57.110 of here. 1:02:58.160 --> 1:03:01.440 I imagine they got him, right? Holy cow. There should 1:03:01.480 --> 1:03:04.640 be a trail of glass and blood to follow. Oh, 1:03:04.680 --> 1:03:09.380 they did find him. A deputy found Raven Lee Wooten, 24, 1:03:09.380 --> 1:03:13.560 of Nokoma Park inside, allegedly stealing copper wire from a dishwasher. 1:03:14.380 --> 1:03:17.040 Video shared by the sheriff's office captures the deputy confronting 1:03:17.060 --> 1:03:19.140 Wooten and reportedly ordering him to take his hands out 1:03:19.160 --> 1:03:19.870 of his pockets. 1:03:20.390 --> 1:03:21.890 Turn around and get on his knees. 1:03:23.360 --> 1:03:25.280 And then they said he initially escaped, but then he 1:03:25.340 --> 1:03:28.730 left his backpack behind with his driver's license inside. 1:03:29.190 --> 1:03:32.610 You moron. 1:03:33.070 --> 1:03:36.740 You jumped right through the window and risked it all. 1:03:36.900 --> 1:03:40.480 And then you left your backpack with your driver's license behind. 1:03:40.620 --> 1:03:41.010 Man. 1:03:41.970 --> 1:03:43.880 You think he would have gotten away with it if 1:03:44.020 --> 1:03:47.960 it wasn't for leaving the backpack behind? Maybe he would 1:03:47.980 --> 1:03:49.720 have blazed out of there and you couldn't see him 1:03:49.820 --> 1:03:51.960 super good on the body cam footage. 1:03:52.160 --> 1:03:54.240 You saw him a little bit.

I don't want to get shot 1:04:03.910 --> 1:04:04.410 right through the window. 1:04:04.430 --> 1:04:04.850 Get on your knees. 1:04:08.450 --> 1:04:09.750 I might have given it to him if I was 1:04:09.770 --> 1:04:12.130 the cop. I might have been like, all right, fine. 1:04:12.150 --> 1:04:16.100 All right. This round you win somehow. I think. 1:04:17.140 --> 1:04:19.460 Tell me if I'm wrong here, just looking at these windows. 1:04:20.260 --> 1:04:23.490 It looks like the two closest to the camera... If 1:04:23.530 --> 1:04:25.950 you jumped out, you would be on the deck. Did 1:04:25.990 --> 1:04:27.970 he jump out one that's on the other side of 1:04:28.010 --> 1:04:30.850 that deck where he would have gone straight to the ground? 1:04:31.090 --> 1:04:33.090 Man, I can't tell. I think that you're right. 1:04:33.270 --> 1:04:35.030 I think that he might have jumped on the one 1:04:35.070 --> 1:04:37.270 that got him away from the deck in front of 1:04:37.310 --> 1:04:39.570 this place and then he started running. Which may have 1:04:39.650 --> 1:04:41.530 actually given him a little more of a head start 1:04:41.570 --> 1:04:44.760 against that cop because the cop had a bit of 1:04:44.960 --> 1:04:47.300 an issue getting the door open. And then you're on 1:04:47.320 --> 1:04:51.020 the deck. You got to get around whatever obstacles there. 1:04:51.560 --> 1:04:51.880 Wow. 1:04:52.000 --> 1:04:52.520 Unbelievable. 1:04:52.580 --> 1:04:55.040 I'll put this up on.

You have to be high on 1:05:00.010 --> 1:05:05.950 meth to jump through a closed window because you cannot hesitate. 1:05:06.590 --> 1:05:08.070 You have to, you have to go, you have to 1:05:08.150 --> 1:05:10.810 think about yourself just going through it and pass it. 1:05:10.880 --> 1:05:14.660 And that's when the glass breaks and you continue right 1:05:14.720 --> 1:05:15.180 on through. 1:05:16.060 --> 1:05:17.040 But it also could be bad. 1:05:17.060 --> 1:05:19.590 I've seen a viral video one time of this guy 1:05:19.630 --> 1:05:22.390 outside of a bar. And he was really pissed off 1:05:22.430 --> 1:05:25.310 at somebody inside the bar. And then he punched the window. 1:05:25.370 --> 1:05:27.770 But the window broke. It was not the kind that 1:05:27.850 --> 1:05:28.850 shatters nicely. 1:05:29.050 --> 1:05:29.790 No, yeah. 1:05:30.270 --> 1:05:33.360 It broke into big chunks. And when he broke through 1:05:33.380 --> 1:05:35.300 the big chunks of the window.

And I thought this was 1:07:35.730 --> 1:07:40.500 so big coincidence here because we were just talking about 1:07:40.560 --> 1:07:44.680 this this week or maybe late last week about Stairway 1:07:44.720 --> 1:07:45.120 to Heaven. 1:07:45.500 --> 1:07:45.920 Yeah. 1:07:45.960 --> 1:07:48.200 We had mentioned the whole Wayne's World thing and how 1:07:48.820 --> 1:07:52.080 Pretty much with the exception of that, it's been difficult 1:07:52.140 --> 1:07:55.070 to get that song in any movie. They mostly say no, 1:07:55.110 --> 1:07:58.250 but there has been a movie now that they've said 1:07:58.310 --> 1:08:01.470 yes to. And people were keen to pick up on 1:08:01.510 --> 1:08:05.240 the fact that when they saw the trailer, For Narnia, 1:08:05.720 --> 1:08:07.940 the new Narnia movie, remember that we talked about where 1:08:07.980 --> 1:08:10.840 people were mad because they cast a woman to play 1:08:10.880 --> 1:08:11.360 the lion? 1:08:12.000 --> 1:08:12.780 Yes, yeah. 1:08:12.840 --> 1:08:15.380 There's some people who are upset about that because C.S. 1:08:15.460 --> 1:08:20.960 Lewis was very particular about the lion character, I guess. Well, 1:08:21.580 --> 1:08:25.880 as it turns out, Greta Gerwig kind of knew that C.S. Lewis, 1:08:25.920 --> 1:08:26.500 the author of. 1:08:26.439 --> 1:08:27.160 The Narnia books. 1:08:27.820 --> 1:08:31.240 We're like, uh, like they, she knew that Jimmy page 1:08:31.260 --> 1:08:33.860 and Robert plant were huge fans of his, like fans 1:08:33.900 --> 1:08:36.610 of the books, fans of the author. And so she 1:08:36.790 --> 1:08:39.750 kind of dismissed the ordinary channels used to secure music 1:08:39.810 --> 1:08:42.630 rights in a film and met with Jimmy and Robert 1:08:42.790 --> 1:08:45.890 face to face. to give them a look at the 1:08:45.930 --> 1:08:48.090 rough cut of the film and just talk about it 1:08:48.110 --> 1:08:49.820 with them and says, hey, we really want to use 1:08:50.240 --> 1:08:51.210 Stairway to Heaven for it. 1:08:51.360 --> 1:08:51.920 And it worked. 1:08:51.979 --> 1:08:54.760 The song runs throughout the trailer, which was released last week. 1:08:54.820 --> 1:08:57.730 The film hits theaters February 12th. Do you think that 1:08:57.770 --> 1:08:59.330 costs a lot more to get that one? 1:08:59.550 --> 1:09:02.420 Is it? it more pricey or no? I don't know 1:09:02.439 --> 1:09:04.000 if it is more pricey. 1:09:04.040 --> 1:09:08.439 I mean, you think that their rights holders could jack 1:09:08.479 --> 1:09:10.439 up the price just because they don't let people use it, 1:09:10.470 --> 1:09:14.750 but I don't know how much the artists have control 1:09:14.850 --> 1:09:18.170 over the price or have a say in people using it. 1:09:20.550 --> 1:09:22.250 I think you can either make it so it's available 1:09:22.350 --> 1:09:25.380 or unavailable. I think that's the thing. Yeah, but I mean, 1:09:25.420 --> 1:09:29.710 I know that certain... certain TV shows that use music 1:09:29.770 --> 1:09:31.750 and stuff, they have like rate sheets where they can 1:09:31.770 --> 1:09:33.870 look up like how much it costs to play a 1:09:33.910 --> 1:09:37.550 particular song or something like that. But in this case, 1:09:37.570 --> 1:09:41.630 it's been historically very hard to get a stairway to 1:09:41.670 --> 1:09:44.010 heaven or maybe any Zeppelin song, or maybe it's just 1:09:44.050 --> 1:09:45.970 that one. I don't know why it would be particularly 1:09:46.010 --> 1:09:49.390 that one put in a film and the Narnia people 1:09:49.450 --> 1:09:51.590 have pulled it off. So congratulations to them and weird 1:09:51.610 --> 1:09:53.410 that we had just been talking about that. 1:09:54.160 --> 1:09:57.019 Um, this guy, I think his name is Chuck Laurie 1:09:57.220 --> 1:09:58.020 or Chuck Laura. 1:09:58.340 --> 1:09:58.800 Yeah. 1:09:59.040 --> 1:10:01.080 The guy who was a director or something, or he 1:10:01.100 --> 1:10:03.740 was a famous showrunner. He was the showrunner behind two 1:10:03.760 --> 1:10:07.680 and a half men, big bang theory, a couple others. And, uh, 1:10:07.800 --> 1:10:09.740 he's out with a new memoir. So now there's a 1:10:09.800 --> 1:10:13.720 lot of like. bombshell dropped by Chuck Lorre kind of 1:10:13.740 --> 1:10:18.580 stuff going through the different entertainment websites right now. But 1:10:18.729 --> 1:10:20.160 one of the things he's doing I think is kind 1:10:20.189 --> 1:10:23.110 of funny is he is analog vague booking. Like vague 1:10:23.150 --> 1:10:27.040 booking in an actual book. Because Chuck Lorre said... He 1:10:27.439 --> 1:10:32.309 felt vindicated after his reluctance to cast Anna Faris in 1:10:32.320 --> 1:10:36.189 the TV show Mom. Now, I wasn't super familiar with Mom, 1:10:36.370 --> 1:10:39.530 but apparently it did pretty well during its run. He 1:10:39.570 --> 1:10:42.590 said his gut instinct was to not cast Anna Faris 1:10:42.670 --> 1:10:45.150 in Mom, and it was ultimately proven right based on 1:10:45.189 --> 1:10:47.650 how the show turned out. He wrote in the memoir 1:10:47.930 --> 1:10:50.950 called Sitcom, I initially said no, I wasn't sure Anna 1:10:50.990 --> 1:10:53.719 would be appropriate for this kind of material. But Chuck 1:10:53.760 --> 1:10:55.960 says the way he bungled his relationship with Charlie Sheen 1:10:56.810 --> 1:10:58.790 because he was in the two and a half men part, 1:11:00.370 --> 1:11:02.620 caused him to reconsider. He said, somebody's personal life is 1:11:02.640 --> 1:11:05.150 none of my business. And at the time, he said 1:11:05.170 --> 1:11:07.990 the mom should be Anna Faris. As years went by, 1:11:08.010 --> 1:11:12.349 it became apparent my initial reluctance to hire Anna was 1:11:12.390 --> 1:11:16.570 in fact correct, and she left for mysterious reasons, but 1:11:16.590 --> 1:11:18.890 they weren't a mystery to anyone on the show. And 1:11:18.930 --> 1:11:20.710 then he doesn't say what they are in the book. 1:11:20.729 --> 1:11:22.809 It's just the biggest thing. 1:11:23.370 --> 1:11:23.870 I knew. 1:11:24.010 --> 1:11:26.689 We all knew the reasons. I'm not going to say 1:11:26.729 --> 1:11:28.970 the reasons. I'm just going to say that we all 1:11:29.010 --> 1:11:31.429 knew the reasons and that I was right. And because 1:11:31.470 --> 1:11:34.099 it's his book... He's allowed to say it, I guess. 1:11:34.400 --> 1:11:36.400 I'm telling you, I'm looking at his wiki right now. 1:11:36.689 --> 1:11:39.290 I would read that book because if you want to 1:11:39.330 --> 1:11:41.729 know the life from a guy who's in charge of 1:11:41.790 --> 1:11:44.250 these kind of massive shows, like Two and a Half 1:11:44.290 --> 1:11:47.229 Men and The Big Bang Theory and stuff, there's probably 1:11:47.270 --> 1:11:48.570 a lot of good tidbits in there. 1:11:48.590 --> 1:11:49.570 I would read that. 1:11:49.640 --> 1:11:51.760 I mean, there's a bunch eking out right now. Another 1:11:51.880 --> 1:11:55.120 one that I saw today was that he said he 1:11:55.140 --> 1:11:59.170 was doing the casting for Mike and Molly. And who 1:11:59.270 --> 1:12:01.600 is in that, the big comedian? 1:12:01.920 --> 1:12:02.840 Oh, man. 1:12:02.900 --> 1:12:05.100 Hang on. I'll get it. 1:12:05.600 --> 1:12:08.170 They said that CBS didn't want to hire her. They wanted, like, 1:12:08.210 --> 1:12:11.800 a hotter woman cast. to play the Molly in Mike 1:12:11.820 --> 1:12:15.640 and Molly. You have it there. Mike and Molly is 1:12:15.660 --> 1:12:20.340 Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell. Yeah, he said they didn't 1:12:20.380 --> 1:12:23.120 want to hire Melissa McCarthy at the CBS people because 1:12:23.160 --> 1:12:25.660 she wasn't hot enough or something for their sitcom, but 1:12:26.010 --> 1:12:28.870 he pushed through it. Like I said, for the next week, 1:12:28.910 --> 1:12:32.130 I feel like, as people read this memoir by Chuck Lorre, 1:12:32.229 --> 1:12:34.250 Sitcom is the name of it, We're going to get 1:12:34.350 --> 1:12:36.610 more of these stories because he probably does have a 1:12:36.650 --> 1:12:39.450 lot of them to tell. I wonder if he was 1:12:39.490 --> 1:12:41.540 the one then that was the first to stop the 1:12:41.640 --> 1:12:45.360 nonsense of every one of those shows being some big, ugly, quirky, 1:12:45.420 --> 1:12:46.679 fat guy and like a 10. 1:12:46.580 --> 1:12:47.179 As a wife. 1:12:48.870 --> 1:12:51.220 All of those shows, they're like, the wife was so 1:12:51.270 --> 1:12:52.060 much hotter. 1:12:52.229 --> 1:12:54.480 King of Queens and stuff, nothing against anybody. 1:12:54.500 --> 1:12:56.160 But those shows. 1:12:55.900 --> 1:12:59.660 Where the woman was always way out pulling the gun. 1:12:59.840 --> 1:13:03.540 Over in some sadder news, we learned this week that R.J. Mitty, 1:13:04.040 --> 1:13:05.820 I believe Mitty is the way to say his name. 1:13:05.860 --> 1:13:09.280 I said Mitt the other day, but he's the actor 1:13:09.360 --> 1:13:14.420 from Breaking Bad that played Walt Jr., And he was 1:13:14.460 --> 1:13:17.679 found dead. He died of suicide. And now there's some 1:13:17.860 --> 1:13:20.270 stories coming out. Everybody's trying to dig in and figure 1:13:20.310 --> 1:13:22.990 out what went wrong because a lot of the heartbreaking 1:13:23.030 --> 1:13:27.670 content that's been, you know, dug up from just leading 1:13:27.729 --> 1:13:29.370 up to the days before his death has seemed kind 1:13:29.410 --> 1:13:33.260 of almost on the hopeful side. And now it says, 1:13:33.840 --> 1:13:36.140 RJ Middy may have faced an impossible choice in the 1:13:36.160 --> 1:13:38.939 days leading up to his death. Multiple sources close to 1:13:38.960 --> 1:13:43.220 the family tell TMZ that his frustrated fiance gave him 1:13:43.260 --> 1:13:47.020 an ultimatum to choose between her and his own mother. 1:13:47.900 --> 1:13:48.259 Wow. 1:13:48.320 --> 1:13:51.349 There was a mounting tension between RJ Middy and his fiance, 1:13:51.400 --> 1:13:56.170 Kennedy Suarez, who felt RJ's mom was meddling in their relationship. 1:13:56.630 --> 1:13:59.590 They did not get along and Kennedy wanted RJ to 1:13:59.630 --> 1:14:03.190 favor her or else RJ had an extremely close relationship 1:14:03.610 --> 1:14:06.479 with his mother and sister and wasn't willing to, wasn't 1:14:06.520 --> 1:14:08.240 willing to cut his mom off. And that caused serious 1:14:08.280 --> 1:14:11.960 friction in his relationship with Kennedy. Which, if that's the 1:14:12.000 --> 1:14:13.809 case and if that's what led him to do this, 1:14:15.390 --> 1:14:19.670 what a terrible situation and what an awful person this 1:14:19.729 --> 1:14:23.930 Kennedy Suarez, I think, is. Man, I don't know. You 1:14:23.950 --> 1:14:25.630 know what that's starting to sound like? I might be 1:14:25.650 --> 1:14:29.439 getting into controversial territory here. I'm not trying to necessarily. 1:14:30.160 --> 1:14:31.820 I do not know enough about this, so I should 1:14:31.840 --> 1:14:37.559 be careful. But that brings me into the Anthony Bourdain territory. 1:14:38.340 --> 1:14:41.720 where a lot of things happened with his ex, this 1:14:41.890 --> 1:14:44.270 woman that he was head over heels in love with 1:14:44.310 --> 1:14:47.750 around that time, and there's a lot of question marks 1:14:47.830 --> 1:14:50.890 about the behavior that ended up with Anthony Bourdain dead. 1:14:50.950 --> 1:14:52.790 I'm kind of feeling those vibes a little bit. 1:14:52.910 --> 1:14:55.090 In the weeks before RJ's death, according to sources, his 1:14:55.130 --> 1:14:57.890 relationship with Kennedy was weighing heavily on him, and he 1:14:57.930 --> 1:15:02.090 was outwardly distraught. They were still together, though, a week 1:15:02.130 --> 1:15:04.850 before he died. It's unclear if they had actually broken 1:15:04.950 --> 1:15:08.550 up or not in the days before, but What a 1:15:08.630 --> 1:15:12.420 sad ordeal for him and for the people involved. 1:15:13.820 --> 1:15:16.280 Better news, cheerier news. Please. 1:15:16.380 --> 1:15:18.600 Hilary Swank is pregnant. 1:15:19.400 --> 1:15:20.020 Oh, wow. 1:15:20.280 --> 1:15:24.360 She is expecting her third child at the age of 52, 1:15:24.360 --> 1:15:27.190 according to announcements she made online. The actress took to 1:15:27.229 --> 1:15:29.030 social media to post a video of herself, her husband, 1:15:29.050 --> 1:15:31.809 and their twins dancing in the dark, dressed as glow-in-the-dark 1:15:31.850 --> 1:15:34.590 stick figures. And when Hilary turned around, she revealed a 1:15:35.200 --> 1:15:37.960 Stick figure baby in her stomach. Not a bad way 1:15:38.000 --> 1:15:41.160 for a pregnancy announcement. Signaling that she and her husband, 1:15:41.180 --> 1:15:45.580 I assume husband, Philip Schneider, are expecting their third kid. 1:15:46.080 --> 1:15:49.480 She gave birth to her twins, Aya and Om, just 1:15:49.660 --> 1:15:52.939 three years ago. And gearing up for baby number three, 1:15:52.939 --> 1:15:55.780 52 years old when she has this baby. That means 1:15:56.920 --> 1:15:58.900 when the baby's 18, she'll be 70. 1:15:58.880 --> 1:15:58.950 Wow. 1:15:59.260 --> 1:16:02.300 And if my dad were 52 when he had me, 1:16:05.020 --> 1:16:09.340 He would be 92. That is a weird thing to 1:16:09.380 --> 1:16:11.540 think about. And last but not least in the hot 1:16:11.580 --> 1:16:14.080 sheet really quick. I didn't know that people were still 1:16:14.120 --> 1:16:18.520 watching Yellow Jackets. Yellow Jackets is dropping teasers for its 1:16:18.640 --> 1:16:21.870 fourth and final season, preparing to bring the chilling story 1:16:21.910 --> 1:16:24.070 to a close. I have no idea where the story 1:16:24.150 --> 1:16:26.990 is because I loved season one, and then we started 1:16:27.030 --> 1:16:28.690 season two, and I don't know what happened. 1:16:29.070 --> 1:16:29.410 Same. 1:16:29.750 --> 1:16:32.090 Exact same. The first season, I was like, whoa, this 1:16:32.150 --> 1:16:32.790 is kind of cool. 1:16:32.890 --> 1:16:34.150 Really good. 1:16:34.270 --> 1:16:38.340 Yes, absolutely. Then it started to get weird. Then it 1:16:38.360 --> 1:16:40.280 started to get weirder, and I think at some point 1:16:40.340 --> 1:16:42.479 my wife just did not have the drive to keep 1:16:42.520 --> 1:16:45.650 watching it. It was up to me, and I tried, 1:16:45.710 --> 1:16:47.910 and I just kind of fell off of it, as 1:16:48.010 --> 1:16:48.830 many people do. 1:16:49.189 --> 1:16:51.250 Well, it's Thursday. We go over to the box office. 1:16:51.330 --> 1:16:53.190 New releases this weekend. 1:16:53.590 --> 1:16:57.769 We have a new adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, a 1:16:57.910 --> 1:17:00.920 horror film called Crawlers. If you do not like spiders, 1:17:00.960 --> 1:17:04.600 you will not like crawlers. Residents of the Paradiso Palms 1:17:04.640 --> 1:17:07.800 apartment complex struggle to survive a deadly invasion of spiders. 1:17:08.630 --> 1:17:12.190 Whale fall has a wild plot line. Oh, that's about 1:17:12.229 --> 1:17:14.330 a guy inside a whale, right? He gets swallowed by 1:17:14.370 --> 1:17:16.729 a sperm whale and has roughly an hour of oxygen 1:17:16.790 --> 1:17:19.610 to escape, relying on lessons he learned from his father 1:17:19.689 --> 1:17:20.950 after the father passes away. 1:17:20.970 --> 1:17:22.849 I saw CNN on this today, and it said, what's 1:17:22.870 --> 1:17:23.110 it called? 1:17:23.130 --> 1:17:23.350 Whale what? 1:17:23.370 --> 1:17:23.630 Whale fall. 1:17:29.479 --> 1:17:29.839 One word. 1:17:29.950 --> 1:17:32.520 It said watching whale fall with the only guy who 1:17:32.540 --> 1:17:34.500 can check its accuracy. And it was some guy who 1:17:34.600 --> 1:17:36.440 also says he was in the mouth of a whale 1:17:36.479 --> 1:17:36.900 at some. 1:17:36.780 --> 1:17:38.939 Point in time. And I'm like, that's so specific. 1:17:39.080 --> 1:17:39.460 Okay. 1:17:39.640 --> 1:17:39.980 Yeah. 1:17:40.040 --> 1:17:42.080 It's with, I don't know who's actually in the whale, 1:17:42.100 --> 1:17:45.200 but it's with Austin Abrams, Josh Brolin and Elizabeth shoe. 1:17:45.340 --> 1:17:49.280 All right. Street Fighter, the movie, Jason Momoa makes an 1:17:49.300 --> 1:17:51.830 appearance in that one, and the one we've all been 1:17:51.870 --> 1:17:56.050 waiting for, You Can See Everything, the Elizabeth Holmes documentary 1:17:56.090 --> 1:17:59.010 with Nathan Fielder drops this weekend. So does the Musk one, 1:17:59.050 --> 1:18:03.660 but I'm less interested in the four-hour-plus Elon Musk documentary 1:18:04.040 --> 1:18:07.340 and more interested in seeing You Can See Everything, which is, 1:18:07.400 --> 1:18:11.860 of course, as we discussed previously, rated R for graphic nudity. 1:18:12.680 --> 1:18:14.140 That's not why I'm excited to see it, but I 1:18:14.240 --> 1:18:17.040 kind of want to know why.

And what about you, Don? 1:19:53.050 --> 1:19:55.210 He's such good luck for me the last time I 1:19:55.250 --> 1:19:56.970 picked him, quite a while ago, but I'm going to 1:19:56.990 --> 1:19:58.340 go with Zephyr Spiker. 1:19:59.080 --> 1:19:59.360 All right. 1:19:59.600 --> 1:20:02.500 Zephyr Spiker is who Don is playing for.

At 1:21:05.130 --> 1:21:06.710 That Mortgage Guy, Don. 1:21:06.830 --> 1:21:07.990 Don't miss the vote. 1:21:08.150 --> 1:21:10.610 Compare your quote. 1:21:10.670 --> 1:21:13.470 Go to ThatMortgageGuyDon.com. 1:21:13.729 --> 1:21:15.150 Taking a look at the leaderboard. 1:21:15.210 --> 1:21:18.960 In first place with 266 points, we have Mr. Christopher Lane. 1:21:18.979 --> 1:21:19.049 Woo! 1:21:20.810 --> 1:21:28.160 In second place with 247 points, we have that mortgage guy, Don. 1:21:28.180 --> 1:21:29.820 Yeah. 1:21:29.860 --> 1:21:33.980 And in third place, five points shy of 200 with 195, 1:21:33.960 --> 1:21:35.180 we have Mr. Sean Wasson. 1:21:35.460 --> 1:21:37.809 This is the week that you're going to break at 200, Sean. 1:21:38.030 --> 1:21:38.469 I know. 1:21:38.790 --> 1:21:39.460 I feel it. 1:21:39.630 --> 1:21:41.810 Even though I do feel like a little kid playing 1:21:41.850 --> 1:21:44.230 t-ball being encouraged by his parents who don't really believe 1:21:44.530 --> 1:21:44.759 in him. 1:21:44.770 --> 1:21:46.330 I feel it. I'm ready. 1:21:47.610 --> 1:21:51.429 So in first place, 266. Second place, 247. And then 1:21:52.410 --> 1:21:55.679 third place went 95. I went to Cavos Bar and 1:21:55.720 --> 1:21:59.960 Kitchen last night. We had a lot of teams, especially 1:22:00.060 --> 1:22:04.519 the brew crew, the Brewers fans, who saw them beat 1:22:04.580 --> 1:22:06.800 the L.A. Dodgers in Game 3. Now it goes to 1:22:06.840 --> 1:22:09.220 Game 4. So a lot of people stuck around. We 1:22:09.260 --> 1:22:12.760 had seven participants and one call-in. That makes eight. 1:22:12.880 --> 1:22:13.480 Was that tough? 1:22:14.780 --> 1:22:18.100 Because your Rays are doing well and going through the playoffs. 1:22:18.120 --> 1:22:20.840 Were they at odds with you because they're Brewers fans? 1:22:21.080 --> 1:22:24.150 No, not yet, because that's the National League, but also 1:22:24.200 --> 1:22:27.280 the Brewers have never won a World Series. So if 1:22:27.350 --> 1:22:30.430 it is Brewers and the Rays, that will be two 1:22:30.470 --> 1:22:31.270 teams who have never won. 1:22:31.710 --> 1:22:33.890 Wow, that would be good, I think, for the numbers, man. 1:22:33.990 --> 1:22:36.630 Absolutely. So you just chime in if you think you 1:22:36.650 --> 1:22:39.350 know it, get that bonus point, and then try to 1:22:39.370 --> 1:22:41.370 guess out of eight answers how many got it right. 1:22:41.430 --> 1:22:41.930 Is everyone in? 1:22:42.150 --> 1:22:42.370 Yes. 1:22:42.450 --> 1:22:42.710 Yes. 1:22:42.890 --> 1:22:43.370 Let's do it. 1:22:43.740 --> 1:22:47.060 Question number one.

Six. 1:23:02.650 --> 1:23:04.470 It's tough because they're going to...

Let's go five. 1:23:15.490 --> 1:23:19.960 And five for Don. Question number one. With answers of four, five, 1:23:20.640 --> 1:23:21.580 and six. 1:23:21.740 --> 1:23:23.300 Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. 1:23:23.479 --> 1:23:27.440 Someone knows their R.J.

Middy. 1:23:45.020 --> 1:23:47.860 That would be six, so C-Lane is hitting a three-pointer 1:23:47.900 --> 1:23:50.299 to start the game, and Don with a guess of five, 1:23:50.400 --> 1:23:53.620 picking up one point.

I love that word, inclement. 1:35:58.100 --> 1:35:59.380 So I didn't even know that they would do that. 1:35:59.500 --> 1:36:01.760 So people had tickets to this game today and then 1:36:01.780 --> 1:36:03.980 they just scheduled it way up earlier than it was 1:36:04.000 --> 1:36:04.540 supposed to be? 1:36:04.780 --> 1:36:07.040 Yeah, because I guess it's going to be rained out and, 1:36:07.100 --> 1:36:09.900 you know, every day counts. Every day matters now in 1:36:09.920 --> 1:36:12.400 the postseason. So they had to move. Not only that game, 1:36:12.420 --> 1:36:15.479 but also the West Coast game because they didn't want 1:36:15.520 --> 1:36:18.320 the game to be over and then a three-hour break 1:36:18.390 --> 1:36:20.150 and then the next game starts, so they moved that 1:36:20.200 --> 1:36:20.620 one up too. 1:36:21.189 --> 1:36:22.770 Is this in Tampa? 1:36:23.050 --> 1:36:23.810 It's in Cleveland. 1:36:24.290 --> 1:36:24.970 In Cleveland, okay. 1:36:25.430 --> 1:36:27.790 Because I saw a thing, and I'm meeting this not 1:36:27.810 --> 1:36:29.750 as a shot to you in any way. I'm so 1:36:29.870 --> 1:36:33.050 out of sports world stuff that maybe this seems that way, 1:36:33.090 --> 1:36:35.710 but I'm honestly asking you the question. I saw Rays 1:36:35.750 --> 1:36:39.470 baseball drew the lowest... attendance at one of the games 1:36:39.530 --> 1:36:41.550 in over 40 years during game two. And I was like, 1:36:41.830 --> 1:36:43.690 Fritz goes to some of the Rays games and he 1:36:43.729 --> 1:36:46.350 likes that. And I said, is it because the tickets 1:36:46.390 --> 1:36:48.650 are just so freaking expensive right now? 1:36:48.850 --> 1:36:52.229 It's that and also the location of getting to St. 1:36:52.270 --> 1:36:55.300 Petersburg is not ideal. It's never been great. So for 1:36:55.340 --> 1:36:58.700 the 30 year existence of the Rays, it's like, You're 1:36:58.740 --> 1:37:00.480 on a bridge. You've got to get to a bridge 1:37:00.580 --> 1:37:02.820 to get over, and then there's a traffic snarl, and 1:37:02.840 --> 1:37:04.519 a lot of people are just like, I'm not going 1:37:04.540 --> 1:37:06.360 to go to that game, which sucks. 1:37:06.660 --> 1:37:08.200 When it gets down to it, I'm sure they will. 1:37:08.260 --> 1:37:09.780 Yeah, you have to drive to an island. 1:37:10.380 --> 1:37:12.280 Yeah, it's not easy. 1:37:12.300 --> 1:37:14.740 One of our engineers has to go to these games 1:37:14.810 --> 1:37:19.210 and set up gear for facilitating the remote radio broadcast, 1:37:19.310 --> 1:37:21.850 and he said he had to do one this week 1:37:22.370 --> 1:37:24.990 where he got home at 1 a.m., And then had 1:37:25.030 --> 1:37:26.310 to do it again the next day. 1:37:26.330 --> 1:37:26.550 Yeah. 1:37:26.590 --> 1:37:28.290 And it's just like wild. 1:37:28.710 --> 1:37:28.970 Yeah. 1:37:29.030 --> 1:37:31.269 I was thinking about going to the Monday game, 8 p.m. 1:37:31.340 --> 1:37:31.910 Start, though. 1:37:32.070 --> 1:37:34.420 So I would have had to have left at 6. 1:37:34.420 --> 1:37:36.500 And then the game is over. I would have gotten 1:37:36.540 --> 1:37:39.880 home around 1. Yeah. Because it's that two-lane bridge out. 1:37:40.220 --> 1:37:40.460 Yeah. 1:37:40.520 --> 1:37:42.280 Bit of a nightmare. But all right. We love you. 1:37:42.300 --> 1:37:44.520 We appreciate you. Thank you, Fritz. Don, are you going 1:37:44.540 --> 1:37:46.000 to hang out with us for a segment here? 1:37:46.180 --> 1:37:47.120 Yes, sir.

It's a cartoon or 1:41:00.070 --> 1:41:03.729 something that I'm not familiar with, I think. Kenny Rogers. 1:41:03.850 --> 1:41:07.020 Why is Kenny Rogers? Oh, probably because of Dolly Parton 1:41:07.060 --> 1:41:07.500 or something. 1:41:08.020 --> 1:41:08.620 Oh, maybe. 1:41:08.920 --> 1:41:11.060 Maybe because Dolly Parton is one of the big ones 1:41:11.320 --> 1:41:11.800 right now. 1:41:13.950 --> 1:41:17.870 The duo costumes are much better, but Michael Jackson, God, 1:41:17.930 --> 1:41:22.790 the guy's been dead forever. Green Lantern, Kenny Rogers, Captain 1:41:22.910 --> 1:41:25.629 Clark from Back Rooms.

Dungeon Crawler Carl is one that 1:41:34.439 --> 1:41:38.260 only a small segment of the audience will get, but 1:41:38.360 --> 1:41:39.939 the people who do get it will really like it 1:41:39.979 --> 1:41:40.479 if you do that. 1:41:40.500 --> 1:41:41.900 It's a book series. It's a book series. 1:41:42.729 --> 1:41:46.330 Oliver tree is one of the top costumes.

And then buddy, the unicorn from 1:41:56.860 --> 1:41:59.440 the movie buddy, which we tried to watch the other night, 1:41:59.479 --> 1:42:01.140 but it was a rough one. 1:42:01.240 --> 1:42:04.260 Well, it's the movie. Wait, Buddy the Unicorn. 1:42:04.500 --> 1:42:04.580 Oh. 1:42:04.600 --> 1:42:06.080 Buddy the Unicorn. Okay, Buddy the Elf. 1:42:06.479 --> 1:42:11.179 It's this movie that is about a unicorn that hosts 1:42:11.280 --> 1:42:13.729 a kids' show, and a lot of it is on 1:42:13.780 --> 1:42:16.550 the set of the kids' show, sort of like Pee 1:42:16.590 --> 1:42:19.010 Wee Herman if all hell broke loose and everybody was 1:42:19.090 --> 1:42:19.769 on acid. 1:42:19.790 --> 1:42:22.009 Uh-huh. But it's a little bit much. 1:42:22.350 --> 1:42:24.810 Like, when you're watching, you're like, ah, give me a 1:42:24.870 --> 1:42:27.650 break from whatever this is. And there are so many 1:42:27.710 --> 1:42:31.250 different ways you could do Oliver Tree. Because the guys 1:42:31.290 --> 1:42:32.889 had various looks. 1:42:33.310 --> 1:42:33.590 Yeah. 1:42:33.630 --> 1:42:34.810 And you got to make sure you get it just 1:42:34.890 --> 1:42:40.479 right or else you could be Sia. So it's very specific. Yeah. Yeah. 1:42:40.640 --> 1:42:41.200 Yeah. 1:42:41.439 --> 1:42:43.380 We could be doing that look on accident. He just 1:42:43.420 --> 1:42:46.460 needs help. Don is not landing on anything. And I 1:42:46.500 --> 1:42:48.080 know what he's going to do. He's going to come 1:42:48.120 --> 1:42:51.400 up with his grand scheme idea. And it's going to 1:42:51.420 --> 1:42:55.120 be like four days before the live show. And he's 1:42:55.160 --> 1:42:56.530 not going to be able to get it because Amazon 1:42:56.550 --> 1:42:57.830 will be sold out of everything. 1:42:58.250 --> 1:43:00.170 You can always go like, you know, there's always an 1:43:00.210 --> 1:43:02.780 emergency costume, like the unknown comic where you just get 1:43:02.820 --> 1:43:05.440 a paper bag and cut out eye holes or a ghost, 1:43:05.560 --> 1:43:07.280 you know, cut out a sheet. So he'll come up 1:43:07.300 --> 1:43:08.440 with something last minute. 1:43:08.580 --> 1:43:08.800 Yeah. 1:43:08.960 --> 1:43:09.180 Yeah. 1:43:09.479 --> 1:43:11.589 And I had something to be, it's gotta be something comfortable. 1:43:12.170 --> 1:43:14.870 I'm done. I'm done being uncomfortable. 1:43:14.890 --> 1:43:17.890 The, the thing that used to like drive me up 1:43:17.930 --> 1:43:20.729 the walls is, That's how they say that, right? Yeah, 1:43:20.810 --> 1:43:25.080 right up them walls. That's right, drive me up a wall. 1:43:25.140 --> 1:43:29.260 Would be like going downtown in some like costume, even 1:43:29.280 --> 1:43:32.660 some of the spirit ones where it does just enough 1:43:32.720 --> 1:43:34.020 and you look great and then you have to go 1:43:34.060 --> 1:43:38.480 to the bathroom and there's like eight steps of To 1:43:38.660 --> 1:43:41.280 unhook this and undo that. 1:43:41.420 --> 1:43:42.880 And then where are you putting this stuff? Because now 1:43:42.920 --> 1:43:45.720 you're in a public bathroom. Yeah, it's gross. 1:43:46.020 --> 1:43:48.439 And so many times I would come away from Halloween 1:43:48.660 --> 1:43:53.070 just going, I should have just been Randy Quaid from 1:43:53.210 --> 1:43:56.510 Christmas Vacation with the dumb hat and the cigar and 1:43:56.530 --> 1:44:01.470 the robe and screaming Essers full at everybody. And it 1:44:01.510 --> 1:44:04.030 sounds a lot more comfortable and easy. For a second, 1:44:04.070 --> 1:44:05.090 I thought you were going to say you should be 1:44:05.130 --> 1:44:07.250 Randy Quaid from that sex video he made. 1:44:07.510 --> 1:44:10.349 Remember that one? You guys remember that? I don't think 1:44:10.610 --> 1:44:12.140 I watched much. 1:44:12.150 --> 1:44:14.339 He was getting political, and I think he was having 1:44:14.380 --> 1:44:17.880 sex with somebody who had a political mask on or something. 1:44:17.900 --> 1:44:18.880 I thought it was Rupert Murdoch. 1:44:19.400 --> 1:44:19.840 Was it? 1:44:20.120 --> 1:44:21.460 It might have been something like that. It was a 1:44:21.820 --> 1:44:25.220 very interesting move that he made. It was quite a 1:44:25.240 --> 1:44:26.500 thing to see. And he thinks he's going to be 1:44:26.520 --> 1:44:28.660 in Days of Thunder, too. 1:44:28.760 --> 1:44:29.100 Come on. 1:44:29.800 --> 1:44:31.880 And I also wonder when I see the top 10 1:44:31.880 --> 1:44:37.620 Halloween duo costumes, number one is Joe dirt and Brandy. 1:44:38.670 --> 1:44:40.710 And I'm, I guess the only thing I could take 1:44:40.750 --> 1:44:43.490 from this is that Joe dirt is having some resurgence 1:44:43.570 --> 1:44:47.530 with the younger audiences and people are watching that David 1:44:47.590 --> 1:44:49.509 Spade movie from way back in the day. 1:44:50.520 --> 1:44:51.500 That's number one. 1:44:51.680 --> 1:44:54.960 Some of these are, they look like they're leaning on, 1:44:55.560 --> 1:44:59.610 the hairstyle, making the costume like Joe dirt is kind of, 1:44:59.860 --> 1:45:03.540 you gotta have the mullet down and these Oliver tree ones. 1:45:03.560 --> 1:45:06.160 Like you gotta have the weird bangs or the very 1:45:06.380 --> 1:45:11.140 round wig for that to work. It seems like, and 1:45:11.660 --> 1:45:14.420 how do you dress like Brandy? You just kind of 1:45:14.500 --> 1:45:17.850 dress skimpy. The only thing I see that's newer is 1:45:17.910 --> 1:45:20.930 the Nikki and the bear option from obsession. 1:45:20.970 --> 1:45:23.210 And I knew that was going to obviously be big, 1:45:23.250 --> 1:45:24.130 but yeah. 1:45:24.210 --> 1:45:24.769 I don't know. 1:45:25.770 --> 1:45:28.340 This seems like a strange list, but obviously Dolly Parton 1:45:28.350 --> 1:45:30.880 was the one that everybody would imagine would be on there. 1:45:31.260 --> 1:45:33.479 And I would hope that that was Dolly Parton in 1:45:33.520 --> 1:45:36.200 a positive way, not Dolly Parton and like covered in 1:45:36.240 --> 1:45:37.120 blood or I. 1:45:37.520 --> 1:45:39.120 Kind of, Zombie. 1:45:39.640 --> 1:45:42.390 I mean, zombie is an easy way to go with 1:45:42.450 --> 1:45:46.290 a dead person. But with Dolly Parton, it wasn't like 1:45:46.630 --> 1:45:51.550 there was some incident. Not like Steve Irwin, when everybody... 1:45:51.330 --> 1:45:54.570 And that was pretty close to... They went hard on that, too. 1:45:54.640 --> 1:45:59.599 And all the Steve Irwins that Halloween had big spears 1:45:59.660 --> 1:46:01.160 coming through their chests for the. 1:46:01.780 --> 1:46:02.620 The stingray thing. 1:46:02.960 --> 1:46:05.170 You know, not for nothing, but people got mad when 1:46:05.189 --> 1:46:07.850 a couple of people did Charlie Kirk costumes, which is 1:46:07.890 --> 1:46:10.670 obviously in poor taste and stuff. But I do remember 1:46:10.830 --> 1:46:14.769 afterwards thinking about that and going, people don't realize that 1:46:14.890 --> 1:46:18.520 when the crocodile hunter guy or what was the alligator crocodile? 1:46:18.530 --> 1:46:20.719 What was it? Which one was it? Crocodile. 1:46:20.760 --> 1:46:24.240 When the crocodile hunter guy died in almost right after 1:46:24.340 --> 1:46:26.180 people did costumes based on that. 1:46:26.800 --> 1:46:31.139 It was an uproar, man. People loved that guy. 1:46:31.180 --> 1:46:34.090 Steve Irwin was very close to a lot of people's 1:46:34.100 --> 1:46:35.090 hearts and childhoods. 1:46:35.210 --> 1:46:37.189 And he died September 4th. 1:46:37.510 --> 1:46:37.770 Yeah. 1:46:37.790 --> 1:46:40.550 So Halloween was just a jump away. 1:46:40.990 --> 1:46:42.889 It was like the perfect amount of time. 1:46:42.970 --> 1:46:46.810 So the outrage machine was mega high as people dressed 1:46:46.890 --> 1:46:52.290 up as him with a stingray through the heart or whatever. 1:46:52.310 --> 1:46:52.430 Yeah. 1:46:54.229 --> 1:46:54.950 What are you doing? 1:46:55.350 --> 1:46:58.750 But keep your mind clear and try to help him out. 1:46:58.790 --> 1:47:01.150 If you can, if you think of something, Don, let 1:47:01.210 --> 1:47:02.440 us know because he needs your help. 1:47:02.720 --> 1:47:03.920 You're better at this.

Cause I, it was never something 1:48:49.770 --> 1:48:51.050 we were taught. I was the same way. 1:48:51.070 --> 1:48:51.530 Yeah. 1:48:51.650 --> 1:48:54.910 I thought like, well, this is something that adults do 1:48:55.010 --> 1:48:56.799 and I have no idea what I'm doing. I've never 1:48:56.840 --> 1:48:58.920 done this before. I might as well just stay out 1:48:58.939 --> 1:49:01.760 of it. That go to that mortgage guy, don.com Don. 1:49:01.780 --> 1:49:03.179 Thanks for hanging out with us, man. 1:49:03.280 --> 1:49:03.960 Thank you, Sean. 1:49:03.979 --> 1:49:04.160 Thanks. 1:49:04.200 --> 1:49:05.600 How are you doing buddy? 1:49:05.920 --> 1:49:07.740 Think about that costume. All right, quick break. When we 1:49:07.780 --> 1:49:10.320 come back, jury duty is on the way. That's coming 1:49:10.360 --> 1:49:11.860 up next on the news. 1:49:11.960 --> 1:49:12.420 Shunky. 1:49:18.620 --> 1:49:21.580 We'll talk Amendment 3 at the top of the hour. 1:49:22.800 --> 1:49:23.839 We'll see how that goes. 1:49:23.860 --> 1:49:27.820 Scott Maxwell from the Orlando Sentinel is a big giant 1:49:27.880 --> 1:49:29.820 no on that. I'm going to try to figure out 1:49:29.880 --> 1:49:32.060 why and needle him on it a bit at the 1:49:32.120 --> 1:49:35.460 top of the hour. We'll see what happens. And right 1:49:35.500 --> 1:49:37.019 now we've got to do jury duty. A couple of 1:49:37.040 --> 1:49:37.919 emails coming. 1:49:37.740 --> 1:49:38.140 In, though. 1:49:38.560 --> 1:49:42.040 Mickey, first name Mickey, last name Mouse, according to this 1:49:42.180 --> 1:49:45.530 particular email. Coming in with an email about the roller 1:49:45.570 --> 1:49:48.330 coaster and the Six Flags situation. 1:49:48.350 --> 1:49:50.229 I'm going to start making jokes, but maybe I should stop. 1:49:51.150 --> 1:49:54.180 Mako and the one where the guy died. What's that 1:49:54.220 --> 1:49:57.500 called again? What's the Six Flags one where the guy died? 1:49:57.729 --> 1:49:58.269 Goliath. 1:49:58.310 --> 1:50:00.450 The Goliath roller coaster. It just sounds kind of scary. 1:50:00.970 --> 1:50:02.590 Mako and the one where the guy died, they don't 1:50:02.630 --> 1:50:05.930 have seatbelts. My wife has been on the Mako roller coaster, 1:50:05.950 --> 1:50:07.750 and she said she felt like she was going to 1:50:07.830 --> 1:50:10.730 fall out. I'm guessing they're going to be installing seatbelts 1:50:10.790 --> 1:50:13.189 on every roller coaster, and that will be the standard 1:50:13.250 --> 1:50:17.350 going forward. So when I rode roller coasters a lot, 1:50:17.450 --> 1:50:19.830 like when I was in high school and I had 1:50:19.850 --> 1:50:22.950 like an annual pass to Universal, and me and my 1:50:22.990 --> 1:50:25.170 friends would just go and ride the rides a lot, 1:50:26.290 --> 1:50:30.880 the go-to was you had like your harness. In this case, 1:50:30.920 --> 1:50:32.420 the harness is in front of you and it's not 1:50:32.460 --> 1:50:35.140 over the shoulder, but you had the harness, but then 1:50:35.160 --> 1:50:38.379 the harness had a seatbelt in case of failure. 1:50:39.040 --> 1:50:39.320 Yes. 1:50:39.520 --> 1:50:42.970 And then at some point they stopped putting the seatbelt 1:50:43.050 --> 1:50:46.750 on there. And so that's not incorrect, but I think 1:50:46.790 --> 1:50:50.710 they were just pretty much kind of. conveying that the 1:50:50.750 --> 1:50:53.210 harness was by and large doing its job. 1:50:53.590 --> 1:50:56.480 Yeah. And I think that the seatbelt was doing nothing, 1:50:56.939 --> 1:50:59.540 but making you feel a little bit better. Sort of. 1:50:59.729 --> 1:51:02.719 I thought the seatbelt was there to make the insurance 1:51:02.780 --> 1:51:06.800 companies feel better to make the ride manufacturers. And at 1:51:06.840 --> 1:51:08.780 some point the guests, but all the other people that 1:51:08.820 --> 1:51:13.179 are involved saw this as, Hey, this is a fail safe. 1:51:13.479 --> 1:51:17.760 If for some reason, The, the, there's something happens, some 1:51:17.800 --> 1:51:22.890 catastrophe where the harness disengages and then you still have 1:51:22.930 --> 1:51:26.150 that seatbelt. I mean, I still think sometimes the seatbelt 1:51:26.210 --> 1:51:27.870 would have given you a little too much room, but. 1:51:27.850 --> 1:51:28.590 I don't know. 1:51:28.950 --> 1:51:31.210 I agree with Abraham, though, who says these people are 1:51:31.229 --> 1:51:33.600 going to ruin coasters for the rest of us. With this, 1:51:33.740 --> 1:51:37.580 and we talked about the Disney ride as well. 1:51:39.000 --> 1:51:39.420 What's it called? 1:51:39.460 --> 1:51:42.780 The Princess and the Frog Ride or whatever they renamed. 1:51:43.080 --> 1:51:44.620 Splash Mountain, Old Splash Mountain. 1:51:45.050 --> 1:51:47.450 The guy jumping off of that at the last minute 1:51:47.470 --> 1:51:48.490 and abandoning his kid. 1:51:48.510 --> 1:51:50.450 You talking about an adventure show? 1:51:52.930 --> 1:51:57.889 On tiona's bayou blast that was the greatest why would 1:51:57.930 --> 1:52:03.580 we put extra seatbelts on our adventure the the ride 1:52:03.640 --> 1:52:06.719 announcements were so great some guy jumped off the ride 1:52:07.120 --> 1:52:11.260 splash mountain formerly splash mountain right before it did the 1:52:11.300 --> 1:52:13.549 big plunge he was so scared and he left his 1:52:13.660 --> 1:52:17.190 child behind and then the audio was coming on like 1:52:17.270 --> 1:52:21.670 a sorry We're going to have to pause your adventure 1:52:21.710 --> 1:52:25.250 for just a little bit.

Some guy just jumped off the ride, 1:52:37.640 --> 1:52:39.080 and he's going to ruin it for everybody. 1:52:39.930 --> 1:52:43.750 Okay, here we go. Let's do this. Let's do jury duty. 1:52:44.170 --> 1:52:46.290 Court is now in session.

You're now on jury duty with the 1:52:51.270 --> 1:52:53.630 News Junkie. Jury duty brought to you by the one, 1:52:53.650 --> 1:52:56.320 the only Mo DeWitt of the DeWitt Law Firm. 1:52:56.400 --> 1:52:57.780 Injured on the go?

He's going 1:53:08.460 --> 1:53:11.960 to give you the focus on your case that you 1:53:11.979 --> 1:53:13.700 would expect from a lot of attorneys, but you just 1:53:13.720 --> 1:53:17.220 don't get it. You absolutely do not get that unless 1:53:17.260 --> 1:53:21.630 you're going with Moses DeWitt. So 800-CALMO or go to justcalmo.com. 1:53:22.170 --> 1:53:25.110 I'm still waiting on some new details on the Michelle 1:53:25.150 --> 1:53:29.349 Parker case. So crazy that that broke yesterday. And when 1:53:29.390 --> 1:53:32.030 it broke, they said, hey, Michelle Parker, this woman missing 1:53:32.070 --> 1:53:37.520 since 2011. There's been a breakthrough in this case. Somebody 1:53:37.700 --> 1:53:40.360 emailed and said, Sean, I think what the new evidence 1:53:40.420 --> 1:53:44.200 was is they used to not at Apple allow you 1:53:44.240 --> 1:53:47.970 to go through phones with if people didn't give you 1:53:48.110 --> 1:53:51.290 access to them. And now Apple has changed some of 1:53:51.310 --> 1:53:54.070 their strategy on that. And so maybe they went through 1:53:54.150 --> 1:53:57.610 somebody's phone and got the information to do this. That 1:53:58.390 --> 1:54:01.950 could be the case. But I know they found her 1:54:02.030 --> 1:54:03.650 phone at one point in time. I don't know how 1:54:03.910 --> 1:54:06.389 salvageable it was because this case was so long ago. 1:54:07.610 --> 1:54:09.530 And I'm sure they've looked through a lot of his 1:54:09.590 --> 1:54:14.089 things as well. Now that the ex-fiance, Dale Smith Jr., 1:54:13.939 --> 1:54:19.000 has been charged with second degree murder. Now, those charges 1:54:19.060 --> 1:54:22.269 could escalate. They're not sure exactly where that's going to land, 1:54:22.770 --> 1:54:25.150 but that's where we find ourselves right now. 1:54:25.370 --> 1:54:27.769 And after all that time and update, there's not. 1:54:27.630 --> 1:54:30.190 A lot on the docket that I could get to. 1:54:30.270 --> 1:54:31.750 I checked this morning, and there was only. 1:54:31.770 --> 1:54:32.210 Oh, the case? 1:54:32.610 --> 1:54:36.230 Yeah, there's the arrest affidavits not there, the warrant. None 1:54:36.250 --> 1:54:39.120 of that stuff is on here just yet, because I 1:54:39.140 --> 1:54:43.320 was trying to dive in and go, well, maybe a warrant, 1:54:43.360 --> 1:54:47.660 maybe an arrest report would have some some more information 1:54:47.700 --> 1:54:50.700 about why they decided now to make this arrest yeah 1:54:50.860 --> 1:54:53.200 yeah that'll be it i mean once that drops that 1:54:53.270 --> 1:54:54.990 that's going to have all the information or at least 1:54:55.010 --> 1:54:57.190 a bunch of it about the beginnings of the case 1:54:57.210 --> 1:54:58.670 that they're going to lay out against this guy so 1:54:58.690 --> 1:55:00.350 we'll keep an eye on it for jury duty. 1:55:00.610 --> 1:55:02.510 Okay quick break when we come back in. 1:55:02.470 --> 1:55:06.930 Amendment three debate with scott maxwell of the orlando sentinel 1:55:07.490 --> 1:55:19.100 that is coming up next on the news junkie Welcome in, friends, 1:55:19.140 --> 1:55:22.360 to the world's most viral newsroom. 1:55:22.380 --> 1:55:22.850 Good to have you. 1:55:22.860 --> 1:55:25.900 The Power Hour is on officially.

All right, one of 1:55:36.690 --> 1:55:39.610 the things we've been talking about for, well, a while now, 1:55:39.710 --> 1:55:43.300 I guess, is the whole debate over this Amendment 3 thing. 1:55:43.680 --> 1:55:46.940 And I think it's got the most conversation around it 1:55:46.980 --> 1:55:50.460 of anything that's coming up for the election. And more so, honestly, 1:55:50.480 --> 1:55:53.580 I've seen more conversations about Amendment 3 than I have 1:55:53.660 --> 1:55:57.220 about the governor's race. I've seen more people fired up 1:55:57.480 --> 1:56:01.520 over this issue than virtually everything out there. And according 1:56:01.540 --> 1:56:03.780 to the polling that I see, it's pretty damn close. 1:56:03.840 --> 1:56:07.720 I mean, some polls this week have Amendment 3 sailing past. 1:56:07.780 --> 1:56:11.100 Some have it just under. It's interesting to watch where 1:56:11.120 --> 1:56:13.510 all of this goes. And we've got somebody hanging out 1:56:13.530 --> 1:56:16.790 with us today to talk more about this. Scott Maxwell 1:56:16.830 --> 1:56:18.570 from Orlando Sentinel. 1:56:19.490 --> 1:56:20.950 Hello, Scott. Can you hear me? 1:56:21.710 --> 1:56:24.090 I absolutely can. Nice to see you, Sean, and nice 1:56:24.130 --> 1:56:25.390 to hear you, C-Lane. 1:56:25.610 --> 1:56:27.560 Good to see you. There he is. 1:56:27.600 --> 1:56:30.360 Scott Maxwell has been talking about this quite a bit. 1:56:30.440 --> 1:56:31.460 I disagree with him. 1:56:32.320 --> 1:56:34.500 On almost all of his points on Amendment 3, but 1:56:34.520 --> 1:56:36.870 that will become clear pretty soon here, I think. 1:56:37.790 --> 1:56:38.350 That's okay. 1:56:38.370 --> 1:56:38.670 You know what? 1:56:38.690 --> 1:56:41.030 You have the right to be wrong, Sean. That's the 1:56:41.110 --> 1:56:44.130 great thing about this country. For now. For now, I do. 1:56:44.510 --> 1:56:47.940 I have two major issues with Amendment 3 that push 1:56:47.980 --> 1:56:51.640 me into the yes area. Number one, and I think 1:56:51.660 --> 1:56:54.740 this has gotten really gross, and I wonder if you agree, 1:56:54.760 --> 1:56:57.970 is Amendment three opponents, a lot of them are just 1:56:58.330 --> 1:57:02.830 flat out lying and using fear mongering to scare the voters. 1:57:02.970 --> 1:57:04.310 And this is like top down. 1:57:04.850 --> 1:57:07.670 I see some of the people who are responsible for 1:57:07.710 --> 1:57:12.720 the no on three campaign just flat out lying about 1:57:12.740 --> 1:57:15.940 the potentiality of Amendment three hitting and the doom and 1:57:15.960 --> 1:57:17.780 gloom scenarios that they're predicting. 1:57:18.300 --> 1:57:20.900 Do you agree with that or do you see things differently? 1:57:21.970 --> 1:57:23.910 Uh i maybe agree with a portion of that i 1:57:23.970 --> 1:57:28.070 think there is definitely uh there are some local government 1:57:28.190 --> 1:57:30.830 and law enforcement people who are putting out sort of 1:57:30.910 --> 1:57:35.010 sky is falling uh scenarios uh when they will not 1:57:35.070 --> 1:57:39.290 be demolished quite as much as they would portend however 1:57:39.850 --> 1:57:41.660 there are going to be cities i think that it's 1:57:41.700 --> 1:57:44.680 pretty clear will disappear if this passes i can uh 1:57:45.020 --> 1:57:47.680 there are uh You know, just to give you a 1:57:47.680 --> 1:57:49.620 little background, and I think you know some of this 1:57:49.640 --> 1:57:52.360 because we swapped some notes on Twitter about this. The 1:57:52.400 --> 1:57:55.020 way it works in Florida is we've made an institutional 1:57:55.100 --> 1:57:59.620 societal decision to fund government based on property taxes. And 1:57:59.690 --> 1:58:02.790 that is where the by far the biggest chunk, Orange County, 1:58:02.810 --> 1:58:04.990 for instance, gets 50 percent of its budget from there. 1:58:05.270 --> 1:58:08.970 The next category is not even close. Sales taxes are 1:58:09.010 --> 1:58:13.320 like $ 200. million whereas property taxes are 1.5 billion so 1:58:13.340 --> 1:58:15.820 it's not even close there we have decided that we 1:58:15.880 --> 1:58:17.780 want to do now you could make an argument to 1:58:17.840 --> 1:58:21.200 fund government a different way many states use income taxes 1:58:21.760 --> 1:58:23.600 uh this state does not know well you have to 1:58:23.640 --> 1:58:26.670 pay for stuff one way or the other so We've 1:58:26.710 --> 1:58:29.050 decided to deal with property taxes. To put it in perspective, 1:58:29.090 --> 1:58:32.919 the Orange County property appraiser says that if this passes, 1:58:33.340 --> 1:58:36.650 more than half of all the houses... in Orange County 1:58:36.710 --> 1:58:40.110 will no longer pay property taxes for local government other 1:58:40.150 --> 1:58:40.630 than schools. 1:58:40.770 --> 1:58:43.070 You know, I think it's interesting that you say we've decided, 1:58:43.410 --> 1:58:46.010 you know, like, have we decided? Have we decided that 1:58:46.050 --> 1:58:47.870 we want to put all of our eggs in the 1:58:47.910 --> 1:58:48.710 property tax? 1:58:48.990 --> 1:58:51.800 Oh, well, that's what we, yeah, that's what we decided, Sean, 1:58:51.810 --> 1:58:53.900 when we decided we didn't want to have income taxes. 1:58:54.220 --> 1:58:57.800 When we decided to pass a constitutional amendment, assuming we 1:58:57.820 --> 1:59:00.160 still want to have a society. Assuming we still want 1:59:00.180 --> 1:59:02.280 to have police, we have to pay for it some way. 1:59:02.300 --> 1:59:04.550 I mean, I guess you could argue you could jack 1:59:04.590 --> 1:59:06.750 up gas taxes, but you'd have to do them like, 1:59:06.770 --> 1:59:11.770 I think, 500 percent or jack up. sales taxes by, 1:59:11.780 --> 1:59:15.270 I don't know, 800, 1000%. But yeah, there's only a 1:59:15.290 --> 1:59:18.089 handful of tax pots to go. And when we decided 1:59:18.130 --> 1:59:20.610 we didn't want to do income taxes, it basically set 1:59:20.650 --> 1:59:22.379 up a system that said the state's going to run 1:59:22.440 --> 1:59:23.420 on property tax. 1:59:23.540 --> 1:59:25.520 Here's what I think happened. Tell me where I have 1:59:25.560 --> 1:59:28.540 this wrong. What has happened in the state of Florida 1:59:28.600 --> 1:59:30.900 is not shockingly different than what's happened in a lot 1:59:30.940 --> 1:59:36.430 of states. In the state of Florida, after the mortgage 1:59:36.470 --> 1:59:41.390 crisis and everything that happened there, the sky-high property values 1:59:41.590 --> 1:59:45.470 drove up the property taxes. And all these counties got 1:59:45.550 --> 1:59:48.110 real excited. They didn't even raise their millage rates, most 1:59:48.150 --> 1:59:51.080 of these counties. They got excited because the money was 1:59:51.340 --> 1:59:54.740 flowing in. The hose was just full of a very 1:59:54.820 --> 1:59:58.740 strong stream of cash headed into their coffers. They spent 1:59:58.960 --> 2:00:01.460 and they spent and they spent and they voted themselves 2:00:01.840 --> 2:00:03.460 raise after raise after raise. 2:00:03.820 --> 2:00:06.360 Even just recently, Orange County, all the way. 2:00:06.300 --> 2:00:08.430 Up to the mayor, all these people voting themselves in 2:00:08.520 --> 2:00:10.510 raises as they say the sky is falling. 2:00:10.530 --> 2:00:10.730 Right. 2:00:11.210 --> 2:00:13.470 So all these people take and take and take and 2:00:13.510 --> 2:00:17.280 take from the average Florida taxpayer. And then when they 2:00:17.300 --> 2:00:20.440 build their budgets up to an incredibly high amount of money, 2:00:20.480 --> 2:00:22.750 you know how big some of these budgets are for 2:00:22.830 --> 2:00:26.170 police and in places like Orange County. We've been talking 2:00:26.190 --> 2:00:27.990 about Dade County a little bit. I'm not sure if 2:00:28.010 --> 2:00:31.020 you're familiar, but Dade County is a total budget for 2:00:31.420 --> 2:00:33.020 fire and police at 1.4 billion. 2:00:34.620 --> 2:00:39.960 Billion, Scott. It's clear that the budget has skyrocketed. 2:00:40.000 --> 2:00:43.660 They're fueled by the property tax revenues that were coming in. 2:00:43.680 --> 2:00:46.700 And it's very clear that something needs to be done 2:00:46.740 --> 2:00:47.160 about this. 2:00:47.340 --> 2:00:50.180 In my opinion, I think you kind of broad brushed 2:00:50.220 --> 2:00:51.240 a lot of anecdotes there. 2:00:52.050 --> 2:00:53.630 One of the things is, yeah, there have been a 2:00:53.650 --> 2:00:55.910 lot more property increases. You know, it's funny. 2:00:56.310 --> 2:00:57.790 I think all of your listeners would agree all of 2:00:57.830 --> 2:01:00.150 their costs have gone up. Well, government doesn't live in 2:01:00.170 --> 2:01:00.990 a magical bubble. 2:01:01.590 --> 2:01:02.720 Where their costs don't go up. 2:01:02.770 --> 2:01:04.810 Every time they want to build a new police substation, 2:01:04.900 --> 2:01:07.280 buy a new police cruiser, thanks to tariffs or everything else, 2:01:07.600 --> 2:01:10.440 costs have absolutely gone up for them. Listen, I do 2:01:10.480 --> 2:01:12.920 a lot of writing about why I got into journalism 2:01:12.960 --> 2:01:13.900 was to look at waste. 2:01:14.140 --> 2:01:15.280 But if you've got a problem. 2:01:15.730 --> 2:01:18.870 With the way local government is spending, you should vote 2:01:19.090 --> 2:01:21.510 out the people in charge of local government. I submit 2:01:21.550 --> 2:01:24.170 that a lot of the people complaining can't even name 2:01:24.510 --> 2:01:26.710 all seven of their county commissioners here in Orange County. 2:01:26.990 --> 2:01:29.650 If you think they're overspending, you should be voting those 2:01:29.690 --> 2:01:32.090 folks out. You should be working on their campaigns against them. 2:01:32.910 --> 2:01:35.850 That's where local decisions should be made. And once again, 2:01:35.870 --> 2:01:39.470 I think places like Orlando and Orange County, there's still 2:01:39.510 --> 2:01:42.970 a tax base other than housing, than residential property. We 2:01:43.010 --> 2:01:45.990 tax Disney. We tax Universal. If we if we cut 2:01:46.030 --> 2:01:48.910 into property taxes here for residences, there's still going to 2:01:48.950 --> 2:01:50.850 be Orange County in Orlando is still going to survive 2:01:50.880 --> 2:01:54.360 because there's another tax base. There are counties where the 2:01:55.200 --> 2:01:58.160 in Bowling Green, there's a little city. This is just 2:01:58.260 --> 2:02:00.740 one study I read of that. Ninety two percent of 2:02:00.760 --> 2:02:03.860 their residential properties are worth less than two hundred and 2:02:03.880 --> 2:02:07.080 fifty thousand dollars. So they are essentially going to have 2:02:07.500 --> 2:02:10.100 no more residential property tax base, and that's not a 2:02:10.120 --> 2:02:13.760 place that has manufacturing. It doesn't have businesses. That's probably 2:02:13.800 --> 2:02:16.230 a city that's going to close. Palm Beach says there 2:02:16.270 --> 2:02:18.990 are about, I think, 10 municipalities in that county that 2:02:19.010 --> 2:02:19.630 are going to go away. 2:02:19.690 --> 2:02:21.010 Do I think they're all going to go away? 2:02:21.050 --> 2:02:21.270 No. 2:02:21.550 --> 2:02:24.820 But do I absolutely think that police departments... And our 2:02:24.880 --> 2:02:26.380 bedroom communities are going to go away. 2:02:26.660 --> 2:02:26.960 Yeah. 2:02:27.060 --> 2:02:28.960 And I'm not sure I feel like I have a 2:02:29.020 --> 2:02:31.120 right to I live in a big city. You know, 2:02:31.220 --> 2:02:33.580 I'm going to be fine to decide that Bowling Green 2:02:33.640 --> 2:02:35.900 or some other small cities don't deserve to exist or 2:02:35.940 --> 2:02:36.600 have police departments. 2:02:36.640 --> 2:02:39.340 How many how many cities like these smaller cities you 2:02:39.360 --> 2:02:42.430 want to focus on that you're very sure are going 2:02:42.440 --> 2:02:44.790 to be closing up shop as a result of Amendment three? 2:02:44.870 --> 2:02:46.790 I think that's doom and gloom. I think that is 2:02:46.990 --> 2:02:51.330 absolutely not lying. I just gave you a hold on. 2:02:51.410 --> 2:02:52.330 Let me let me get to my point. 2:02:53.030 --> 2:02:56.980 How many of these cities of that size close or 2:02:57.040 --> 2:03:01.460 filed for Chapter 9? During the mortgage crisis, which by 2:03:01.880 --> 2:03:06.240 all measurements was a bigger drop in property tax revenues 2:03:06.300 --> 2:03:08.500 than we will see with Amendment 3. How many of 2:03:08.540 --> 2:03:11.550 those cities filed for Chapman? I don't think that's factually accurate. 2:03:11.560 --> 2:03:13.410 Yeah, it is. I challenge that. 2:03:14.210 --> 2:03:17.510 What we're talking about is, as I said, over half 2:03:17.910 --> 2:03:20.370 of all residential properties in Orange County will no longer 2:03:20.430 --> 2:03:21.310 pay property taxes. 2:03:21.390 --> 2:03:24.010 Zero. I do not believe we had over half. 2:03:24.510 --> 2:03:27.110 Of the residential properties in Orange County not paying property 2:03:27.150 --> 2:03:29.540 taxes during any point of a mortgage crisis? 2:03:29.740 --> 2:03:34.140 I'm talking about the reduction in expected property taxes from 2:03:34.540 --> 2:03:37.120 Orange County or virtually any other county you map. 2:03:36.900 --> 2:03:38.070 This out on into the state. 2:03:38.750 --> 2:03:42.070 The amount that was lost is either very close to 2:03:42.090 --> 2:03:46.560 or less than The amount that will be lost through 2:03:46.570 --> 2:03:49.080 Amendment 3 is less than what was lost in the 2:03:49.120 --> 2:03:51.920 mortgage crisis. And I'll ask you again, during the mortgage crisis, 2:03:52.060 --> 2:03:52.600 how many. 2:03:52.460 --> 2:03:55.180 Of these cities... I guess I'm challenging. I haven't read 2:03:55.220 --> 2:03:57.240 those figures, so I'm not sure I can buy that. 2:03:57.300 --> 2:03:58.720 It doesn't... Okay, well, just buy me at this. 2:03:59.080 --> 2:04:01.280 You know that the mortgage crisis is obviously bad for 2:04:01.340 --> 2:04:04.050 property tax revenues in those cities. If it's not the 2:04:04.060 --> 2:04:06.570 same exact number, let's toss that to the side. Did 2:04:06.670 --> 2:04:09.070 any cities close up shop during that crisis? 2:04:09.670 --> 2:04:11.890 I don't believe I guess I don't know, but I 2:04:11.990 --> 2:04:14.010 also don't remember anybody saying that was going to be. 2:04:14.130 --> 2:04:15.870 I don't think the hit was that big. And let 2:04:15.910 --> 2:04:17.810 me and let me flip it this way, Sean. Let's 2:04:17.850 --> 2:04:21.630 say so half the properties, excuse me, the homes in 2:04:21.670 --> 2:04:24.810 Orange County aren't going to pay property taxes. Do you 2:04:24.850 --> 2:04:28.560 think all these people should expect police service for for 2:04:28.690 --> 2:04:30.020 service that they're not going to pay for? 2:04:30.400 --> 2:04:31.980 Well, I think there's going to be a lot of 2:04:31.990 --> 2:04:34.520 different reactions to this. What seems to be loaded into 2:04:34.560 --> 2:04:36.680 a lot of your takes on this, Scott? And if 2:04:36.720 --> 2:04:39.580 I'm wrong, tell me why I'm wrong about this. is 2:04:39.840 --> 2:04:43.800 there's no examination on what can be cut. That's what 2:04:43.820 --> 2:04:46.920 I think Floridians are tired of. I think Floridians are like, 2:04:47.340 --> 2:04:49.760 so we have an opportunity here. And while Amendment 3 2:04:49.760 --> 2:04:54.240 is not perfect, it's an opportunity for Florida taxpayers. 2:04:53.780 --> 2:04:55.290 To finally get a break. 2:04:55.370 --> 2:04:59.170 When we've seen our property taxes go up over 100% 2:04:59.170 --> 2:05:00.090 in the last decade. 2:05:00.150 --> 2:05:02.250 I think what you're saying is not true. I think 2:05:02.270 --> 2:05:04.430 you're saying there's been no examination. What are you basing 2:05:04.470 --> 2:05:06.800 that on? I mean, are you familiar with the mayor 2:05:07.070 --> 2:05:09.760 convening task forces on these issues and looking for cuts 2:05:09.780 --> 2:05:13.320 that they've made? I mean, do you know what percent 2:05:13.340 --> 2:05:16.700 of the budget administrative salaries? I think these are sort 2:05:16.730 --> 2:05:19.880 of talking points that come off a crackerjack box. I 2:05:19.920 --> 2:05:22.580 don't I don't believe that people who've studied what's going 2:05:22.620 --> 2:05:24.660 on in local government can say they aren't watching any 2:05:24.680 --> 2:05:26.540 of the spending. Do I think some of it's gotten 2:05:26.560 --> 2:05:27.000 too big? 2:05:27.040 --> 2:05:27.300 Yeah. 2:05:27.520 --> 2:05:27.880 But I do. 2:05:27.920 --> 2:05:30.280 I think this is like losing it using a nuclear 2:05:30.320 --> 2:05:32.810 bomb in a bad way. 2:05:32.860 --> 2:05:35.010 As far as oversight on money, this is obvious to everybody. 2:05:35.030 --> 2:05:38.030 We just talked about how in Broward County, the sheriff 2:05:38.050 --> 2:05:40.890 there is battling with the local city commissioners and county 2:05:40.910 --> 2:05:44.570 commissioners because he will not open up his budget to 2:05:44.610 --> 2:05:46.839 have them look at how much money he's spending on stuff. 2:05:47.300 --> 2:05:50.720 But everybody everybody knows saying if that's if that's the case. Also, 2:05:51.020 --> 2:05:54.320 I guess that's also illegal. I mean, you can't hide 2:05:54.420 --> 2:05:56.400 public records. So if that's the case, he should be 2:05:56.880 --> 2:05:57.580 charged with a crime. 2:05:57.620 --> 2:06:00.080 Well, a lot of these people think that they are 2:06:00.220 --> 2:06:02.750 above the law. The budgets to me have gotten out 2:06:02.810 --> 2:06:05.210 of control. OK, and when I see it, let's let's 2:06:05.230 --> 2:06:08.970 go back for a second to the the anti three movement. 2:06:09.370 --> 2:06:11.430 Here's an example of what I'm talking about. This guy 2:06:11.450 --> 2:06:14.950 named Jackson Peel over on X Twitter, whatever you want 2:06:14.970 --> 2:06:18.040 to call it. He says, because there seems to be confusion, 2:06:18.500 --> 2:06:22.720 Amendment 3 eliminates the property taxes that fund our communities, 2:06:22.780 --> 2:06:27.720 including police, firefighters, EMTs, etc. This goes far beyond the 2:06:27.720 --> 2:06:32.500 $ 250, 000 exemption and will defund our services. He highlights a 2:06:32.540 --> 2:06:35.090 portion of this that he does not seem to understand, 2:06:35.650 --> 2:06:39.230 which talks about requiring the legislature to prescribe a uniform 2:06:39.270 --> 2:06:43.710 procedure for committees and municipalities to go further if they 2:06:43.810 --> 2:06:48.930 wanted to. They could go further than the $ 250 property tax. 2:06:48.690 --> 2:06:49.890 Break that this would give them. 2:06:50.450 --> 2:06:52.940 And this is the kind of this is just one example. 2:06:52.950 --> 2:06:56.780 This from Jackson Peel is one example of the misinformation. 2:06:57.080 --> 2:06:58.320 Like you would agree that's not correct. 2:06:58.340 --> 2:06:58.520 Yeah. 2:06:59.160 --> 2:07:01.500 That doesn't gel with anything I've heard, but it's also 2:07:01.580 --> 2:07:04.360 not part of any debate I've really been focused on 2:07:04.380 --> 2:07:06.060 because I've been looking at what the amendment would do. 2:07:06.820 --> 2:07:08.880 And I've also been looking, Sean, and I'd encourage you 2:07:08.900 --> 2:07:11.710 to look at places like the Wall Street Journal's editorial 2:07:11.770 --> 2:07:15.030 board and Florida Tax Watch and the Tax Foundation. These 2:07:15.070 --> 2:07:19.370 are all hardcore right wing anti-tax groups that say this 2:07:19.430 --> 2:07:22.480 is a flawed concept. primarily because it's going to be 2:07:22.520 --> 2:07:25.120 a tax shift. People's taxes are going to go up 2:07:25.180 --> 2:07:28.780 because of this. And while it might benefit me because 2:07:28.800 --> 2:07:30.780 I'm going to have to pay less taxes on my house, 2:07:31.200 --> 2:07:33.820 my children are going to pay more as renters because 2:07:33.880 --> 2:07:35.840 the money is going to be made up somewhere. That's 2:07:35.880 --> 2:07:37.940 not a deal I'm comfortable with. I'm sure I know 2:07:37.970 --> 2:07:39.570 a lot of people don't care as long as they're 2:07:39.590 --> 2:07:43.190 not paying, they're happy other people are happy enough for 2:07:43.230 --> 2:07:46.250 other people too. But all these groups that studied, including 2:07:46.310 --> 2:07:49.490 a trio of Wall Street analytical firms, these Standard & 2:07:49.490 --> 2:07:52.000 Poor's and others, have said this is a bad idea, 2:07:52.020 --> 2:07:54.200 it was poorly thought out, and it's going to be 2:07:54.240 --> 2:07:59.459 devastating without and hike taxes on both renters and, uh, businesses. 2:07:59.480 --> 2:08:01.260 That's another thing. I think that the tax is going 2:08:01.280 --> 2:08:02.940 to go up for business. And just to give you 2:08:03.020 --> 2:08:05.580 one last stat, the tax foundation, which is. 2:08:05.980 --> 2:08:08.470 Once again, a right. Well, I won't say it's right wing. 2:08:08.480 --> 2:08:10.390 It's a right of center anti-tax. 2:08:10.410 --> 2:08:12.530 That's all they exist for has said that if this 2:08:12.590 --> 2:08:15.310 passes the cost for apartments, for the average renter of 2:08:15.350 --> 2:08:17.290 an apartment, it's going to go up by $ 400 a 2:08:17.330 --> 2:08:20.670 year because they don't get any tax break. whatsoever in taxes. 2:08:20.980 --> 2:08:22.440 And the average rental home is going to go up 2:08:22.460 --> 2:08:23.720 by about $ 1, 080. 2:08:23.200 --> 2:08:28.720 See, I think that's nonsense. Here's why I think that's nonsense. Scott, 2:08:29.800 --> 2:08:32.040 give me a second to explain myself. What you're doing 2:08:32.080 --> 2:08:34.890 is you're extrapolating from their report. And that is true 2:08:34.910 --> 2:08:37.070 that that's what they said in their report. But that 2:08:37.130 --> 2:08:40.810 was based on no remedies taking place in these counties, 2:08:41.350 --> 2:08:44.830 nothing being done in the full impact of Amendment 3 2:08:44.830 --> 2:08:49.430 hitting those people. And then it's also based on 100 2:08:49.430 --> 2:08:52.850 percent of that pass through going through to the renters, 2:08:53.210 --> 2:08:55.490 which is I don't think anybody actually thinks that will 2:08:55.510 --> 2:08:57.950 be the exact scenario that we're going to be seeing. 2:08:57.990 --> 2:09:00.270 You don't trust them to do the budget now, but 2:09:00.310 --> 2:09:01.770 you do trust that they'll make cuts. 2:09:01.930 --> 2:09:04.060 Well, I thought that it's not that I don't trust 2:09:04.230 --> 2:09:06.320 what they're doing. It's what I'm telling you is the 2:09:06.340 --> 2:09:09.620 way that they calculated that is with no remedies being 2:09:09.640 --> 2:09:12.460 put in place in these counties. They said it worst 2:09:12.540 --> 2:09:15.340 case scenario, essentially. Now, real quick to go back with 2:09:15.440 --> 2:09:17.860 why I was bringing up that guy, Jackson Peel. He 2:09:17.940 --> 2:09:22.010 is literally the communications director for no on three. You 2:09:22.060 --> 2:09:26.110 agreed that that was not an accurate message that these people. 2:09:26.130 --> 2:09:29.950 I'm not familiar with anything I've heard about additional beyond 250,000. 2:09:29.950 --> 2:09:32.930 And there's there is so much of this misinformation that 2:09:33.090 --> 2:09:36.940 leads this debate that I think it is infected a 2:09:36.960 --> 2:09:40.280 lot of the conversation around this. Now, are there issues 2:09:40.300 --> 2:09:41.320 with Amendment 3? 2:09:41.320 --> 2:09:41.640 Yes. 2:09:42.300 --> 2:09:45.950 My take is, if we don't take the opportunity here 2:09:46.090 --> 2:09:49.770 for an imperfect, not perfect, but if we don't take 2:09:49.810 --> 2:09:53.660 the opportunity for Amendment 3 to save us on property taxes. 2:09:54.200 --> 2:09:54.800 We are. 2:09:54.840 --> 2:09:57.060 Not going to get another opportunity. 2:09:57.240 --> 2:09:58.400 Well, let me ask you this, Sean. 2:09:58.440 --> 2:10:00.700 Why do you think you cannot vote for your local 2:10:00.760 --> 2:10:02.800 officials who you think are doing spending too much? 2:10:03.120 --> 2:10:04.680 Why do you not think you can get new people there? 2:10:04.940 --> 2:10:07.120 I honestly think this is a better remedy. I think 2:10:07.160 --> 2:10:09.380 this is a better remedy here, especially if you're not paying, 2:10:09.400 --> 2:10:11.540 not you, but if people don't want to pay attention, 2:10:11.860 --> 2:10:13.390 you don't want to learn about what's going on in 2:10:13.400 --> 2:10:14.740 their community. It's not just easier. 2:10:14.850 --> 2:10:18.400 It's obviously more effective too, because nothing has happened yet. 2:10:18.930 --> 2:10:20.190 In the last decade or so. 2:10:20.530 --> 2:10:22.670 In fact, you know as well as I do, there's 2:10:22.970 --> 2:10:28.610 an organization that gathers in Florida every 20 years, right? 2:10:29.150 --> 2:10:31.650 To discuss all of the things that they could do 2:10:31.690 --> 2:10:35.370 to help Florida taxpayers out. They gather and they discuss 2:10:35.470 --> 2:10:38.570 all the different ways that they could try to assist us. 2:10:39.190 --> 2:10:41.720 And 20 years ago, when. 2:10:41.610 --> 2:10:44.200 They, because I think 2027, I believe, is the next 2:10:44.240 --> 2:10:46.740 time that they're supposed to gather to go over these things. 2:10:46.740 --> 2:10:50.000 20 years ago when they discussed this, do you know 2:10:50.060 --> 2:10:52.240 how much they saved the average taxpayer? 2:10:53.460 --> 2:10:54.970 Are you talking about this? I think you're talking about 2:10:54.980 --> 2:10:55.650 a state body. 2:10:55.830 --> 2:10:55.970 Yes. 2:10:56.090 --> 2:10:57.850 The task force that does this. 2:10:57.930 --> 2:10:58.250 Is that right? 2:10:58.490 --> 2:10:58.730 Yes. 2:10:59.190 --> 2:11:00.070 No, I don't know the number. 2:11:00.070 --> 2:11:00.350 $ 15. 2:11:00.210 --> 2:11:00.390 Okay. 2:11:03.720 --> 2:11:04.680 Fifteen dollars. 2:11:04.800 --> 2:11:08.170 So, Sean, I think you're actually digging a little bit 2:11:08.190 --> 2:11:10.130 of your own hole here because that was a state 2:11:10.170 --> 2:11:13.470 body that decided not to make state cuts. This is 2:11:13.510 --> 2:11:15.790 a state body that's insisting on local cuts. 2:11:15.930 --> 2:11:19.600 Now, that was a state body that can produce the 2:11:19.680 --> 2:11:21.340 outlines for a money. 2:11:21.020 --> 2:11:23.520 I'm thinking of is only making recommendations for state things. 2:11:23.860 --> 2:11:27.940 This was a easy way for Tallahassee politicians to not 2:11:27.980 --> 2:11:30.880 make any cuts themselves, none at all, and pass them 2:11:30.920 --> 2:11:32.760 on to the vote of shoulder. And I will tell you, 2:11:32.780 --> 2:11:34.550 I think there's a little bit of common ground on this. 2:11:34.740 --> 2:11:36.690 And I should also say before we run out of time, 2:11:36.910 --> 2:11:39.390 I think there's a solid chance this thing passes. 2:11:40.390 --> 2:11:40.630 I do. 2:11:40.670 --> 2:11:43.130 I think people I am very sympathetic to people. I 2:11:43.170 --> 2:11:46.030 think people are paying too much, not just for taxes, 2:11:46.110 --> 2:11:47.650 for insurance and cost of living. 2:11:48.030 --> 2:11:50.910 Do I think some governments are crying wolf? Absolutely. Do 2:11:50.970 --> 2:11:53.920 I think some cities will fold? Absolutely. Do I think 2:11:54.220 --> 2:11:56.340 not all of them will and that some are screaming 2:11:56.380 --> 2:11:57.040 too much? Yes. 2:11:57.320 --> 2:11:59.800 But the bottom line is virtually every government's going to 2:11:59.840 --> 2:12:02.500 take a hit. This deal will provide not and will 2:12:02.540 --> 2:12:05.720 not only provide no relief to about 30 percent of 2:12:05.740 --> 2:12:08.180 the state who are renters, 30, 40 percent, but their 2:12:08.220 --> 2:12:10.360 rate will go up. And I also, just as a 2:12:10.420 --> 2:12:13.550 bottom line, I don't think that property owners should pay 2:12:13.670 --> 2:12:17.470 zero in taxes and still expect services. Zero in property 2:12:17.530 --> 2:12:20.370 taxes and still expect services. And I think you know 2:12:20.690 --> 2:12:22.650 we're not just talking about fire and police. We're talking 2:12:22.680 --> 2:12:26.980 about street cleaning, libraries, parks, permitting, environmental pollution, everything mosquito control. 2:12:27.300 --> 2:12:27.500 Right. 2:12:28.380 --> 2:12:32.140 I'm talking about, just to be clear, the TBRC, the 2:12:32.180 --> 2:12:34.480 Taxation and Budget Reform Commission. 2:12:34.520 --> 2:12:35.860 That's the group that gathered. 2:12:36.200 --> 2:12:39.280 I think that's a statewide, I'm 95% sure that's a 2:12:39.310 --> 2:12:41.790 state commission that looks at state funding where they have 2:12:41.830 --> 2:12:43.010 not made cuts. 2:12:43.290 --> 2:12:44.510 They decided to do this one. 2:12:44.610 --> 2:12:47.310 They gather every 20 years and come up with potential 2:12:47.350 --> 2:12:49.470 amendments and other ways to help us save on our 2:12:49.490 --> 2:12:52.190 tax dollars. The last time they gathered, we were already 2:12:52.230 --> 2:12:54.710 going through a property tax crisis in the state of Florida. 2:12:55.130 --> 2:12:58.890 If Floridians don't vote yes, on three this this is 2:12:58.930 --> 2:13:01.090 going to be a signal you're sending to the state 2:13:01.430 --> 2:13:04.840 that says we're okay with what's happening here there will 2:13:04.900 --> 2:13:08.160 be no rescue coming after this is it perfect no 2:13:08.500 --> 2:13:11.860 will some cities especially smaller cities especially smaller cities that 2:13:11.880 --> 2:13:13.880 want to have their own police and fire have to 2:13:13.920 --> 2:13:15.860 raise millage rates to fill in the gap. 2:13:16.220 --> 2:13:16.520 Yes. 2:13:17.000 --> 2:13:20.320 But even in some of those places, they'll still pay less, Scott. 2:13:20.960 --> 2:13:23.220 They'll still pay less than they do right now. 2:13:23.540 --> 2:13:26.420 If they get people you're talking about, the homeowners, not 2:13:26.440 --> 2:13:27.780 the 40% who pay rent. 2:13:28.180 --> 2:13:28.400 Right. 2:13:31.020 --> 2:13:33.100 It's good for me, but not others. If that's all, 2:13:33.280 --> 2:13:35.010 if that's all your work, there's stuff that's good for 2:13:35.060 --> 2:13:37.680 renters too. No, no, there's not. 2:13:40.140 --> 2:13:44.720 Lowering the cap on increases for these real estate properties 2:13:44.760 --> 2:13:49.080 that are not homesteads, lowering it from 10 percent each 2:13:49.140 --> 2:13:51.680 year to 5 percent isn't a benefit to renters. 2:13:52.940 --> 2:13:55.280 Yeah, I don't I think there is going to be 2:13:56.480 --> 2:13:58.820 going for. Is it is it a benefit to renters 2:13:58.860 --> 2:13:59.060 or not? 2:13:59.890 --> 2:14:03.430 I don't know that that's how I understand that to work. 2:14:03.450 --> 2:14:04.730 We can connect after that if you want, but that 2:14:04.770 --> 2:14:06.810 is absolutely a part of Amendment 3. It is 100% 2:14:06.810 --> 2:14:10.970 a part of it that for non-homesteads, they are going 2:14:10.990 --> 2:14:13.650 to lower the amount that they can increase the value 2:14:13.770 --> 2:14:17.570 of these properties from 10% each year, which obviously can 2:14:17.590 --> 2:14:18.800 skyrocket over a long period of time. 2:14:18.810 --> 2:14:20.720 I know that's the case for businesses. I was not 2:14:20.780 --> 2:14:23.780 clear that was the case for residential rental places. 2:14:24.020 --> 2:14:28.420 And lowering that from 10% down to 5% will make 2:14:28.460 --> 2:14:31.400 it much more predictable, I think, for people who are renters, 2:14:31.480 --> 2:14:34.460 what you're going to end up paying each month. Also, 2:14:34.740 --> 2:14:38.730 I think it's fortunate that we have this TBRC that 2:14:38.740 --> 2:14:42.150 we'll be gathering next year, because if there are problems 2:14:42.170 --> 2:14:45.310 with the first year, which is a lighter implementation, right? 2:14:46.070 --> 2:14:49.550 No, that's where you're going, Sean. I mean, that group 2:14:49.610 --> 2:14:53.570 is only making recommendations for state things. I don't think 2:14:53.590 --> 2:14:57.150 I can stress that enough. That's what Tallahassee did here. Tallahassee, 2:14:57.190 --> 2:14:59.980 who you're talking about, not wanting to make any cuts, 2:15:00.270 --> 2:15:02.640 decided they still did not want to make any cuts. 2:15:03.020 --> 2:15:05.700 So instead, they passed this, which would force local governments 2:15:05.740 --> 2:15:07.600 to make cuts while they keep to get get to 2:15:07.620 --> 2:15:09.360 keep spending at the exact same level. 2:15:09.700 --> 2:15:11.500 Well, I mean, all of them need to make cuts. 2:15:11.520 --> 2:15:13.880 That's why that's what I think the American tax rate is. 2:15:13.780 --> 2:15:15.800 Not what they propose. They passed a law that said 2:15:15.880 --> 2:15:18.460 we do not make cuts. Only local people will. That's 2:15:18.500 --> 2:15:19.180 the plan they like. 2:15:19.480 --> 2:15:21.620 Also, I wanted to point out here, because I know 2:15:21.660 --> 2:15:24.540 that a lot of this, it's kind of interesting how 2:15:24.600 --> 2:15:26.900 I think you frame this even in your piece for 2:15:26.920 --> 2:15:31.120 the Orlando Sentinel, as this is the biggest defund the 2:15:31.160 --> 2:15:34.120 police movement that we've ever had in the state of 2:15:34.160 --> 2:15:35.190 Florida or something similar. 2:15:35.200 --> 2:15:35.980 I think that's factual. 2:15:36.060 --> 2:15:38.320 I don't think that's any, I think it was pretty 2:15:38.360 --> 2:15:40.230 factually correct. I don't think you could argue it any 2:15:40.270 --> 2:15:40.610 other way. 2:15:40.670 --> 2:15:43.790 First of all, what part of the amendment exactly is 2:15:43.830 --> 2:15:45.089 going to defund the police? 2:15:45.550 --> 2:15:47.070 It is going to remove 100% of all property taxes. 2:15:49.070 --> 2:15:55.730 for all residential properties valued at less than $ 250, 000. 2:15:53.570 --> 2:15:58.440 Which portion of the amendment itself does the legwork of 2:15:58.580 --> 2:16:01.200 removing the money from the police budget? 2:16:02.200 --> 2:16:04.360 I guess if you want to play semantics, if you 2:16:04.380 --> 2:16:05.950 don't want to look at the budgets, and I think 2:16:05.970 --> 2:16:10.140 you've looked at the budget's, that show what share of 2:16:10.180 --> 2:16:13.610 a budget public safety is. In some places, it's almost 2:16:13.730 --> 2:16:17.760 always the number one lion's share of anything. But in 2:16:17.800 --> 2:16:19.660 some smaller places, it's like 80% of the budget. 2:16:21.150 --> 2:16:24.670 What I think we're missing here is all at all 2:16:24.710 --> 2:16:27.510 times where I see you presented with something here, you 2:16:27.550 --> 2:16:29.650 go back to what the shortfall is going to be 2:16:29.870 --> 2:16:34.100 instead of analyzing this and see where cuts could happen, 2:16:34.280 --> 2:16:38.560 where services could still be efficient enough for most Floridians 2:16:38.640 --> 2:16:41.660 out there. But cuts can happen that finally bring this 2:16:41.879 --> 2:16:43.990 in check. And I think I think. 2:16:44.090 --> 2:16:46.710 That's said in a vacuum without looking at the numbers. 2:16:46.730 --> 2:16:48.410 And I think that's where a lot of this argument. 2:16:48.930 --> 2:16:50.180 I like somebody to look at. 2:16:50.290 --> 2:16:52.390 It's funny because it's funny because I think that's exactly 2:16:52.550 --> 2:16:54.629 where you're coming from. You're coming from a vacuum that 2:16:54.650 --> 2:16:57.429 suggests that there are no moves to make after this 2:16:57.470 --> 2:16:58.920 that can right the ship or steady. 2:16:58.980 --> 2:17:00.220 I didn't say there's no moves. 2:17:00.300 --> 2:17:03.020 I said that you can't make up losing 92 percent 2:17:03.040 --> 2:17:03.640 of your budget. 2:17:04.900 --> 2:17:07.290 Like some. Small places are going to be. And not 2:17:07.330 --> 2:17:08.410 just small places, by the way. 2:17:08.490 --> 2:17:11.480 Rural county, a county like Gadsden or Hardy, these are 2:17:11.520 --> 2:17:13.480 not places that have condo complexes. 2:17:13.520 --> 2:17:17.160 They do not have much manufacturing. But there's a backstop 2:17:17.180 --> 2:17:22.209 for rural counties. Yeah. Yeah, there is. 2:17:22.230 --> 2:17:24.949 There's a backstop for rural counties. If you're a city 2:17:25.030 --> 2:17:28.629 who is not doing very well after Amendment 3 and 2:17:28.650 --> 2:17:32.250 you're in a county that is not in that category, 2:17:32.390 --> 2:17:34.510 you're going to be in the toughest spot. But if 2:17:34.570 --> 2:17:37.150 you are in a county where the shortfall is big 2:17:37.170 --> 2:17:41.350 and obvious, there is a backstop and there's state revenues 2:17:41.370 --> 2:17:42.990 that could be used to eject. 2:17:42.709 --> 2:17:45.130 Into those places. I'm sorry, that will be or could be? 2:17:45.170 --> 2:17:46.150 That could be, yes. 2:17:46.270 --> 2:17:46.550 Uh-huh. 2:17:47.230 --> 2:17:47.470 Okay. 2:17:48.090 --> 2:17:49.750 And I mean, we're going to have to do a 2:17:49.790 --> 2:17:52.640 little bit of, you know, assuming in some of these cases. 2:17:52.680 --> 2:17:53.740 You're doing some assuming. 2:17:54.220 --> 2:17:56.400 My assumption is that they wouldn't sit back and let 2:17:56.440 --> 2:17:58.250 all these cities close up shop. 2:17:58.360 --> 2:17:59.070 Once again, you. 2:17:58.950 --> 2:18:01.689 Suddenly have faith in governmental leaders that you haven't had before. 2:18:02.370 --> 2:18:05.869 I have faith in the Floridians who are tired of 2:18:05.930 --> 2:18:08.629 paying this much tax. I have faith in the Floridians 2:18:09.010 --> 2:18:11.670 who see stuff like, for instance, did you know there 2:18:11.690 --> 2:18:13.970 was an amendment that almost passed where the very same 2:18:14.050 --> 2:18:18.870 police and fire that are upset about this homestead exemption rising, 2:18:19.930 --> 2:18:24.510 we almost voted in place a very similar reduction in 2:18:24.550 --> 2:18:27.810 their taxable property taxes. 2:18:28.510 --> 2:18:31.020 Exactly like this a couple of years ago. But it 2:18:31.040 --> 2:18:33.160 would have been specifically for police and firefighters. 2:18:33.280 --> 2:18:35.470 And none of the police and firefighters that are against 2:18:35.510 --> 2:18:37.810 this now were against that at the time, which I 2:18:37.850 --> 2:18:38.429 think is a bit. 2:18:38.709 --> 2:18:40.670 And maybe I've missed your response on this. But what 2:18:40.740 --> 2:18:43.910 is your response to why? Someone who owns a house 2:18:43.990 --> 2:18:47.370 worth $ 250, 000 just for appraisal value. As you know, a 2:18:47.390 --> 2:18:50.650 house can be worth $ 400, 000, $ 500, 000 and only be appraised 2:18:50.670 --> 2:18:53.750 for $ 200, 000. Why do you think someone should pay $ 0 2:18:53.610 --> 2:18:59.369 for services and still expect street cleaning, fire, police, libraries, parks, permitting, everything? 2:18:59.430 --> 2:19:01.869 First of all, they don't pay $ 0 for services. 2:19:01.890 --> 2:19:03.160 They're still going to pay …. 2:19:03.010 --> 2:19:05.709 And property tax, which is what I said, which is 2:19:05.890 --> 2:19:08.670 by far the lion's share of revenues. Why do you 2:19:08.690 --> 2:19:10.970 think someone should pay nothing and get all those things? 2:19:11.050 --> 2:19:12.670 I'm not suggesting that I think they should pay nothing. 2:19:12.730 --> 2:19:16.830 I think the people who will be paying nothing in 2:19:16.870 --> 2:19:19.070 that exact scenario that you're laying out. 2:19:19.270 --> 2:19:20.890 More than half of the people. More than half of 2:19:20.910 --> 2:19:22.090 the home. 2:19:22.350 --> 2:19:24.770 Are people who have paid an insane amount of money 2:19:24.810 --> 2:19:27.770 in property taxes over the course of owning that house. 2:19:28.300 --> 2:19:30.670 And as you know, as those property values have gone up, 2:19:30.950 --> 2:19:35.260 that is an unrealized gain. that if they're not selling 2:19:35.300 --> 2:19:37.800 their house they're not getting anything additional out of that 2:19:38.100 --> 2:19:41.680 but they still maintain these property tax payments that went 2:19:41.800 --> 2:19:43.779 up and up and up they've gone up a hundred 2:19:43.860 --> 2:19:47.209 percent plus over these years so i i think people 2:19:47.250 --> 2:19:49.470 see that i think that they're going to well i 2:19:49.709 --> 2:19:51.130 i don't really know i'm more on the fence i 2:19:51.170 --> 2:19:52.790 think than you are and whether this will pass i 2:19:52.830 --> 2:19:54.640 think it could there's a good chance it could fail 2:19:54.670 --> 2:19:56.690 because of some of the messaging here but No. 2:19:56.930 --> 2:19:59.369 Most of the polls I've seen that show it close 2:19:59.900 --> 2:20:03.720 have or or maybe failing have have hold like after 2:20:03.760 --> 2:20:05.600 people are explained everything they vote. 2:20:05.640 --> 2:20:05.840 No. 2:20:05.900 --> 2:20:08.160 Well, that's not how ballots work. It's also a little 2:20:08.180 --> 2:20:10.859 bit of a condescending way to talk to people. But 2:20:10.900 --> 2:20:12.879 that's not how polls work. There's there's nobody in the 2:20:12.940 --> 2:20:15.270 ballot saying, hey, I want to make sure you understand this. 2:20:15.330 --> 2:20:17.810 So I'll be surprised if it does not pass. 2:20:17.930 --> 2:20:21.629 Well, we shall see, Scott. I appreciate the time. And 2:20:22.030 --> 2:20:24.869 I know you're passionate on these issues, obviously, as in mine. 2:20:24.930 --> 2:20:25.690 I think it's time. 2:20:26.120 --> 2:20:29.860 That Florida homeowners got something in their favor for once. 2:20:29.879 --> 2:20:33.510 We've been taxed endlessly. I think if some budgets have 2:20:33.550 --> 2:20:36.950 to adjust because of that, I think that that is 2:20:37.150 --> 2:20:41.129 probably a good thing to happen. I think there needs 2:20:41.170 --> 2:20:43.250 to be more support for the cities and counties that 2:20:43.270 --> 2:20:45.630 you're pointing out that are going. 2:20:45.550 --> 2:20:48.000 To struggle more. Well, I mean, you can say you think, 2:20:48.030 --> 2:20:50.840 but there isn't. I think that there will be. And 2:20:50.890 --> 2:20:53.090 you might you might think that's naive, but. 2:20:53.090 --> 2:20:54.930 I think I think the tooth fairy is going to 2:20:54.950 --> 2:20:57.629 come tonight. I don't think they could have written this 2:20:57.709 --> 2:21:00.420 in there. They could have done these these backstops. They 2:21:00.440 --> 2:21:02.680 could have said if this happens, they chose not to. 2:21:02.920 --> 2:21:04.900 And as I think, you know, it was also done 2:21:05.280 --> 2:21:05.670 in 48 hours. 2:21:07.220 --> 2:21:07.420 Right. 2:21:07.480 --> 2:21:10.480 Well, it was pushed forward and passed in 48 hours. 2:21:10.500 --> 2:21:12.320 They still did an assessment on how much it was 2:21:12.360 --> 2:21:14.240 going to cost for Amendment 3. 2:21:14.240 --> 2:21:16.380 Oh, there was no fiscal analysis. Yes, there was. 2:21:16.459 --> 2:21:21.260 The fiscal analysis wasn't fully complete, but they had... That's true. 2:21:21.340 --> 2:21:24.760 And the fiscal analysis that they voted, they had as 2:21:24.810 --> 2:21:27.350 information when they voted, was very much in line with 2:21:27.370 --> 2:21:28.730 the fiscal analysis ended up being. 2:21:28.750 --> 2:21:30.289 So that's another misnomer I see. 2:21:30.330 --> 2:21:32.750 I guess in conclusion, also just encourage your listeners and 2:21:32.790 --> 2:21:36.830 my readers that if you think government is misspending... Both 2:21:36.879 --> 2:21:38.840 the people you think are misspending out of office. 2:21:39.000 --> 2:21:40.140 That's why we have elections. 2:21:40.200 --> 2:21:43.500 It's why people like me write obsessively about who's running 2:21:43.520 --> 2:21:45.920 for county commission and city council so that you can 2:21:45.959 --> 2:21:48.200 take control of the cities and counties that you live 2:21:48.240 --> 2:21:49.240 in and the spending that they do. 2:21:49.400 --> 2:21:49.619 All right. 2:21:49.640 --> 2:21:50.000 We got to get. 2:21:50.060 --> 2:21:53.129 Thank you, Scott. Appreciate the time, buddy. All right, take care, guys. 2:21:53.150 --> 2:21:54.890 Scott Maxwell, Orlando Sentinel. 2:21:55.590 --> 2:21:58.240 The Amendment 3 debate, it's what's got people more fired 2:21:58.280 --> 2:22:00.300 up than, like I said, anything else that's on the ballot. 2:22:00.780 --> 2:22:04.160 But give us your thoughts on all of this. And 2:22:04.580 --> 2:22:07.040 join us before the end of the show with your dispatches, emails, 2:22:07.320 --> 2:22:08.520 all of the rest. 2:22:08.670 --> 2:22:11.150 Quick break. Back with more. That's coming up next on 2:22:11.170 --> 2:22:12.230 the News Junkie. 2:22:14.110 --> 2:22:16.250 Welcome back, folks. 2:22:16.270 --> 2:22:17.770 Wish we had another hour to do it, but. 2:22:19.170 --> 2:22:21.490 You know, I think that's probably the longest segment we've 2:22:21.510 --> 2:22:24.230 done in like 10 years of the show. No, not 2:22:24.310 --> 2:22:25.789 even the longest segment we've done. 2:22:25.990 --> 2:22:28.600 No, we went 40 minutes a while ago. 2:22:28.620 --> 2:22:29.380 Oh, yeah. 2:22:29.480 --> 2:22:32.820 Okay, hold on. That was on accident. I was at 2:22:32.879 --> 2:22:36.240 a theme park. That was on accident. That was just 2:22:36.280 --> 2:22:38.220 losing track of what was going on. I want to 2:22:38.260 --> 2:22:41.340 apologize to you, the listener, for how much C-Lane yapped 2:22:41.440 --> 2:22:44.470 during that last segment and made it so this one's 2:22:44.490 --> 2:22:46.529 going to have to be short. I don't know why 2:22:46.570 --> 2:22:51.289 I got my chips this segment. Now you're having a snack? 2:22:52.090 --> 2:22:52.390 Yeah. 2:22:53.050 --> 2:22:55.530 Look, very, very different views on things. 2:22:56.790 --> 2:23:00.300 My view is, again, that this is just an imperfect bill, 2:23:00.320 --> 2:23:01.740 but it's the best one that we're going to get. 2:23:02.540 --> 2:23:06.320 And if you vote no on this, good luck, folks. 2:23:06.840 --> 2:23:09.160 They juice so much money out of us. You know, 2:23:09.220 --> 2:23:10.740 they have juice so much money out of us. That's 2:23:10.760 --> 2:23:14.180 why you're feeling heavy with the amount that Florida taxpayers 2:23:14.220 --> 2:23:16.879 have paid over the last handful of years. And then 2:23:16.920 --> 2:23:20.260 you see where their priorities are. For instance, I wish 2:23:20.280 --> 2:23:21.640 we could have gone into this. One of the things 2:23:21.660 --> 2:23:25.810 that drives me crazy is in Orlando in particular. One 2:23:25.830 --> 2:23:27.269 of the things they're spending a bunch of money on 2:23:27.350 --> 2:23:32.550 is under I-4 downtown, they're spending $ 30 million plus on 2:23:32.570 --> 2:23:35.349 a project where they're going to put metal trees with 2:23:35.590 --> 2:23:38.060 LEDs in them. And they're going to put a park 2:23:38.980 --> 2:23:41.199 under the I-4 overpass. 2:23:41.240 --> 2:23:42.980 What are they going to put? A park. 2:23:43.459 --> 2:23:43.779 Okay. 2:23:44.120 --> 2:23:46.160 They're going to put a park under the I-4 overpass. 2:23:46.420 --> 2:23:48.800 Just walked under the I-4 overpass. It's going to be 2:23:48.840 --> 2:23:51.520 about like those Donald Trump interviews right next. 2:23:51.340 --> 2:23:56.920 To Air Force One. Hey, how you doing? Is your 2:23:56.940 --> 2:23:59.080 day going away? 2:23:59.520 --> 2:24:03.780 They're spending $ 30 million on this stuff, right? So there's 2:24:03.800 --> 2:24:06.580 a lot of other issues at play here. A lot 2:24:06.620 --> 2:24:09.000 of places where counties that get squeezed a little bit 2:24:09.400 --> 2:24:13.320 can save money. I am very hopeful, and I believe, honestly, 2:24:13.379 --> 2:24:14.920 that they're going to step in for some of these 2:24:14.959 --> 2:24:17.619 counties that get squeezed a little bit more and need 2:24:17.670 --> 2:24:20.110 some help, and some of the cities that get into 2:24:20.150 --> 2:24:20.770 a tight bind. 2:24:20.810 --> 2:24:22.090 But, you know, you make up your own mind. You're 2:24:22.110 --> 2:24:24.190 going to hear more about this before the election comes. 2:24:25.030 --> 2:24:25.750 tell us what you think. 2:24:25.790 --> 2:24:28.310 We'll get to more of your responses, but we do 2:24:28.350 --> 2:24:29.630 have to, is it good now just to take a 2:24:29.650 --> 2:24:30.330 quick break here? 2:24:30.350 --> 2:24:33.050 Yeah, that'll probably help us. That'll give us the best 2:24:33.850 --> 2:24:35.270 bit of time on the way out here. 2:24:35.730 --> 2:24:37.090 I still have so many things that we need to 2:24:37.129 --> 2:24:39.480 get to, but we'll have to wait on that. We're 2:24:39.500 --> 2:24:41.080 going to be back in just a moment to wrap 2:24:41.140 --> 2:24:45.000 it up. Final dispatches, stories that didn't make the cut, 2:24:45.379 --> 2:24:47.560 and today I learned to wrap everything up for a Thursday. 2:24:47.700 --> 2:24:49.920 That's coming up next on the News Junkie. 2:24:52.790 --> 2:24:58.339 Don't joke. I'm not joking. 2:24:58.500 --> 2:25:01.420 The curtain is closing. 2:25:01.459 --> 2:25:02.680 Final Dispatches. 2:25:02.760 --> 2:25:05.780 Stories that didn't make the cut. And today we're going 2:25:05.820 --> 2:25:10.060 to wrap everything up for a Thursday. Thanks for hanging 2:25:10.120 --> 2:25:12.039 out with us. Phillip says, good debate. 2:25:12.080 --> 2:25:12.660 Do it again. 2:25:12.680 --> 2:25:13.620 Again? 2:25:13.650 --> 2:25:16.430 What are you talking about? We'd blow out this hour. 2:25:16.510 --> 2:25:20.010 We're going to do it again. Second verse, same as 2:25:20.030 --> 2:25:20.449 the first. 2:25:20.850 --> 2:25:22.910 Here's M with an email to tips at the news 2:25:22.950 --> 2:25:25.350 junkie dot com. M says, Hey, Sean, I have a 2:25:25.470 --> 2:25:30.430 fun AI, a.k.a. super duper intelligence activity. You could try 2:25:30.480 --> 2:25:32.880 with Courtney next time you make your weekly Publix trip. 2:25:33.530 --> 2:25:34.970 That's all her, but maybe this is good. 2:25:34.990 --> 2:25:35.270 Let's see. 2:25:35.730 --> 2:25:38.509 When you're all done, snap a picture of the receipt, 2:25:38.870 --> 2:25:41.300 load it into Google or whatever, and ask the AI 2:25:41.379 --> 2:25:44.459 how much the groceries would be at local competitors. That's 2:25:44.500 --> 2:25:47.240 not a bad idea, actually. The answer can surprise you. 2:25:47.260 --> 2:25:49.980 You could do that with any business stuff like that. 2:25:50.000 --> 2:25:52.630 You could use a Target bill and compare it to Walmart, 2:25:52.690 --> 2:25:55.650 Longhorn bill at Outback, et cetera, et cetera. 2:25:55.810 --> 2:25:57.770 Oh, she's saying take a picture of the receipt? 2:25:58.470 --> 2:26:00.390 Yeah, you take a picture of a receipt, what you purchased, 2:26:00.410 --> 2:26:02.520 and you said, hey, how much would this have been 2:26:02.560 --> 2:26:04.280 if I shopped at any of the other competitors? 2:26:04.440 --> 2:26:06.820 That's not a bad idea. That's not bad. 2:26:06.900 --> 2:26:10.970 Courtney went to Costco yesterday, actually, and she said, I 2:26:10.970 --> 2:26:12.330 don't know if they've been doing this for a while 2:26:12.390 --> 2:26:14.210 or not, but I hadn't seen it. She said they 2:26:14.230 --> 2:26:17.430 were doing a thing where the checkout line, you go 2:26:17.510 --> 2:26:19.350 over and you ring up all of the stuff in 2:26:19.390 --> 2:26:21.709 your cart. And then when you go to checkout, they 2:26:21.730 --> 2:26:24.920 just run it all at once. So each person doesn't 2:26:24.950 --> 2:26:27.109 have to slow things down. So just go down the 2:26:27.160 --> 2:26:30.080 line and then like sped the whole process up. 2:26:30.260 --> 2:26:30.720 Wait, what? 2:26:30.879 --> 2:26:31.100 I don't. 2:26:31.220 --> 2:26:31.519 Okay. 2:26:31.800 --> 2:26:34.539 So let's say you're in line and you're four people 2:26:34.580 --> 2:26:37.820 back shopping at Costco. They scan everything in your cart 2:26:38.340 --> 2:26:40.380 and they connect it to your card. So when you 2:26:40.420 --> 2:26:41.840 get up and they scan your card again, it goes. 2:26:42.810 --> 2:26:47.190 And it brings all this stuff pre-rung up. See, that's 2:26:47.230 --> 2:26:50.820 a great idea. And I think maybe they sided with 2:26:50.879 --> 2:26:55.200 that for reasons of making sure they have control over 2:26:55.240 --> 2:26:58.200 what gets rung up rather than the customer. Because Sam's Club, 2:26:58.640 --> 2:27:00.360 you just take your app and you go and you 2:27:00.379 --> 2:27:02.330 scan stuff as you put it in your cart. And 2:27:02.350 --> 2:27:04.550 then when you're done, you say, I'm done. and you 2:27:04.570 --> 2:27:07.310 pay on your phone, and you walk out. Man, I'm 2:27:07.350 --> 2:27:09.010 telling you, those are some of those what a time 2:27:09.050 --> 2:27:12.810 to be alive things. That's a nice little thing. All right, 2:27:12.970 --> 2:27:14.850 it's time for us to get the hell out of here. 2:27:14.990 --> 2:27:17.029 We need to get out your way. We'll be back tomorrow. 2:27:17.060 --> 2:27:20.300 We'll actually be back later for Secret Show's 8 p.m. 2:27:20.920 --> 2:27:21.800 I'm ready to drink. 2:27:21.940 --> 2:27:24.160 We're going to go full uncensored.

Let's 2:27:26.980 --> 2:27:27.520 do Today I Learn. 2:27:27.860 --> 2:27:30.220 The following information may make you feel smarter, but will 2:27:30.260 --> 2:27:31.670 not actually increase your IQ. 2:27:32.860 --> 2:27:33.690 So don't get cocky. 2:27:34.290 --> 2:27:38.150 Now it's time for what we call Today I Learned. 2:27:38.550 --> 2:27:44.000 It is Today I Learned for a third. October 15th, 2026. 2:27:44.000 --> 2:27:47.460 Let's see what we got here. Today I Learned, children 2:27:47.500 --> 2:27:51.789 born in the mid-1980s. That's close to sea lane. That's 2:27:51.830 --> 2:27:54.369 what's called this generation. 2:28:01.260 --> 2:28:01.740 DuckTales. 2:28:01.980 --> 2:28:05.220 Yeah, DuckTales. They're called the DuckTales. 2:28:04.560 --> 2:28:08.310 Generation in Hungary, the country, because their first encounter with 2:28:08.340 --> 2:28:11.850 politics happened in 1993 when a DuckTales episode they'd been 2:28:11.870 --> 2:28:14.750 waiting for all week was cut short to announce the 2:28:14.810 --> 2:28:17.890 death of the prime minister at the time. It's a 2:28:17.930 --> 2:28:20.760 very dark reason for a DuckTales generation. 2:28:20.780 --> 2:28:24.070 Very, very, very pointed. It's a very specific reason. 2:28:24.629 --> 2:28:26.250 I would have thought that it was just like, hey, 2:28:26.270 --> 2:28:28.910 you grew up while DuckTales was on. I would consider 2:28:28.950 --> 2:28:31.240 myself that. I think that's my wife's ringtone for when 2:28:31.270 --> 2:28:31.770 I call her. 2:28:32.270 --> 2:28:36.300 DuckTales? I don't totally know why. It's a good one, though. 2:28:36.940 --> 2:28:39.100 I still stand by that was the time for the 2:28:39.260 --> 2:28:40.420 greatest theme songs ever. 2:28:40.440 --> 2:28:40.800 Oh, yeah. 2:28:40.940 --> 2:28:42.340 The Disney afternoon, baby. 2:28:42.720 --> 2:28:44.880 Oh, there's so many catchy theme songs from that period 2:28:44.900 --> 2:28:48.240 of time. And finally, today I learned this band. 2:28:50.180 --> 2:28:51.160 Danzig. 2:28:51.200 --> 2:28:55.580 Danzig, that's correct. Still gets people singing at the bar. 2:28:55.640 --> 2:28:57.940 Last night this came on and people went nuts for it. 2:28:58.620 --> 2:29:00.439 It's in a new show we were watching, too, not 2:29:00.490 --> 2:29:01.150 too long ago. 2:29:01.530 --> 2:29:03.990 The song Mother by Danzig is about Tipper Gore, Al 2:29:04.010 --> 2:29:08.030 Gore's wife, and the parental advisory label put on albums. 2:29:08.629 --> 2:29:12.110 That's what he's actually singing about here. Hey, folks, thanks 2:29:12.150 --> 2:29:13.850 for hanging out with us. We do appreciate it. We're 2:29:13.890 --> 2:29:16.050 back tomorrow, same time, same place.
