Speaker 2: I thought we were getting to like warm up territory,
Speaker 2: like everybody's done with it now and maybe not.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be here forever.
Speaker 2: I know based on our opening clip that people haven't
Speaker 2: gotten over one thing. There's one thing that is still
Speaker 2: stuck in our crawl right now after this cold weather.
Speaker 2: And that one thing is we ain't getting away from
Speaker 2: the frozen iguanas anytime soon.
Speaker 1: Okay, they are here Tuesday, look at that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And and the best part about it is all of
Speaker 3: the people.
Speaker 2: I should not be surprised by this at all. All
Speaker 2: the people who are in the business person rounding up
Speaker 2: iguanas are weird.
Speaker 3: And yes, see, Lane, there is.
Speaker 1: I saw the shoes and I was like, why does
Speaker 1: this pile of iguanas have shoes?
Speaker 3: And now I see ahead, let's get into it.
Speaker 2: Let's put our ears to the ground, our fingers on
Speaker 2: the pulse. Liicey, what's happening to this great, big, wild,
Speaker 2: wide world of ours and wild today? It didn't We
Speaker 2: literally just get done saying these things are are full
Speaker 2: of bacteria.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's laying on the ground and he's covered
Speaker 1: himself with frozen iguanas in Hollywood, Florida.
Speaker 3: Man, what are you doing? Isn't that cold brout trying
Speaker 3: to sleep? How do you sleeping? And that's why?
Speaker 5: What do you think that?
Speaker 6: Well, there was thirty degrees, now it's one hundred.
Speaker 7: They keep me warm.
Speaker 3: I have one hundred, and now I feel like I'm
Speaker 3: one hundred degrees. I'm trying to park it.
Speaker 7: You want to park a spot, you gotta move bro.
Speaker 3: Guess what.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's totally natural interaction.
Speaker 3: You know, we're in my fucking spot, right.
Speaker 4: Not that guy was miked up under all.
Speaker 1: Those He just happened to have a wireless mic on
Speaker 1: his his little hat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to pick up the audio.
Speaker 4: Ros. There is so much disease. And also, oh yeah,
Speaker 4: leave the iguanas alone. If they're invasive, why why are
Speaker 4: we doing things with the body?
Speaker 2: Because we're killing them, We're eating them, we're killing them,
Speaker 2: and we're making blankets out of them while they're still alive.
Speaker 2: He covered himself in blankets and he's land on the ground.
Speaker 6: More go find out the seriously bro, crazy.
Speaker 3: Bro, that's crazy.
Speaker 6: For educational purposes, we did not kill these iguanas. This
Speaker 6: is called brumation. It is hibernation or for the reptile.
Speaker 6: You just have no energy, no life, and they're trying
Speaker 6: to preserve everything that they have left.
Speaker 3: Oh that sounds like me. The last part.
Speaker 4: Throw over an influencer's body.
Speaker 3: What did he say?
Speaker 1: They have no energy, they have no life, held on like,
Speaker 1: I gotta go back.
Speaker 3: Right to this part here. It is for the reptile.
Speaker 6: You just have no energy, no life, and you're trying
Speaker 6: to preserve everything that they have left.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's me, moham, no energy, no life.
Speaker 2: Just trying to preserve everything I have left.
Speaker 3: Forgot.
Speaker 4: What they should have done is have that guy drive
Speaker 4: his car over him.
Speaker 3: And little kids just on the side crying, what are
Speaker 3: you doing? Mister? This is what life has come to.
Speaker 3: This is it right now?
Speaker 2: And congratulations to all the big iguana fans.
Speaker 3: This is your moment to shine.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 3: You've got two times.
Speaker 2: A year when the iguanas fall out of the trees,
Speaker 2: you get a moment to shine, iguana people, and then
Speaker 2: when we hunt the iguanas.
Speaker 3: If it's hunting season.
Speaker 2: You get you get to shine then and else else elsewhere, no.
Speaker 3: Other shining going on? Right?
Speaker 2: Oh, I guess there was one more, one more thing.
Speaker 2: This is another person just grabbing him. Is this the
Speaker 2: same guy? This is Floridians picking up a iguana's on
Speaker 2: the sidewalk.
Speaker 3: Guys just grabbing, grabbing.
Speaker 1: Him just like it's like it's a stick on the side.
Speaker 4: Oh, multiple angles, yep.
Speaker 3: Now as they got three or four of them here,
Speaker 3: let me see.
Speaker 1: I think I think this whole time that we've talked
Speaker 1: about this because I've never encountered one of these frozen
Speaker 1: iguanas in.
Speaker 3: The wild here.
Speaker 1: I expected them to be more stiff. Well, these ones
Speaker 1: aren't moving much. This is a big old bucket. Oh
Speaker 1: but I've been like frozen stiff.
Speaker 4: Iguanacles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just like just completely frozen in place. I
Speaker 3: guess not.
Speaker 4: I guess they They call them invasive, but we're just
Speaker 4: seeing how many there are when it comes to freezing temperatures. Therefore,
Speaker 4: how invasive are they? If they've been real good about
Speaker 4: hiding themselves and not bothering anybody this whole.
Speaker 2: Year, they usually just chill, and what they can't chill
Speaker 2: anymore well, we had that many. Actually temperature chill. That's
Speaker 2: the problem. We have so many of these little suckers.
Speaker 2: So there you go. That'll kick us off today for
Speaker 2: a share the show Tuesday, I've got to run down
Speaker 2: for everybody because I've been following very closely what's going on,
Speaker 2: because this is an interesting story getting more interesting by
Speaker 2: the moment. We talked about it yesterday. Savannah Guthrie's mom
Speaker 2: is still missing. And I'm not sure if you guys
Speaker 2: have been picking up on any of the weird details,
Speaker 2: but it's.
Speaker 3: Getting more and more bizarre. Now.
Speaker 2: This eighty four year old woman, she's the daughter, she's
Speaker 2: the mother rather of the Today's Show host Savannah Guthrie,
Speaker 2: and she has gone missing. She is not in the
Speaker 2: greatest of health. And now they're saying they found blood
Speaker 2: at her house. Oh and they believe someone may have
Speaker 2: abducted her. And Courtney's like, well, is she political? Could
Speaker 2: be like some crazy political thing? And I go, I
Speaker 2: don't really view her as a crazy like partisan target
Speaker 2: for people, And you say her, we're talking Savannah Guthrie.
Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie, right, So, like I'm thinking, what would motivate
Speaker 2: somebody to do this? There's also some other very fishy details.
Speaker 2: But they released this new thing yesterday. They updated it
Speaker 2: Missing Person Vulnerable Adult Pima County Sheriff's Department show Savannah
Speaker 2: Guthrie's missing mom. Eighty four years old female, She's five
Speaker 2: five hundred and fifty pounds, brown hair and blue eyes.
Speaker 2: Missing since January thirty. First, the days are now piling up.
Speaker 2: They don't know what the clothing she was wearing when
Speaker 2: she was last seen was. And here you go, here's
Speaker 2: like some of the banner headlines coming in. I'll play
Speaker 2: the sheriff talking in a second here attached to this story,
Speaker 2: but this says authorities believe that today's show host Savannah
Speaker 2: Guthrie's mother was taken against her will.
Speaker 1: And I mean, what is that? That starts to sound
Speaker 1: like she was like kidnapped or you.
Speaker 4: Know, abducted or is that not the definition of kidnap?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and abducted? Why what was the motivation? Well, who
Speaker 2: were they actually targeting? And there are a lot of
Speaker 2: new details dropping on this. Let's go to this report
Speaker 2: here and see what they're saying about the latest detail
Speaker 2: saying Savannah Guthrie's mom was taken against her will.
Speaker 1: Searching for the mother of Today's show host Savannah Guthrie.
Speaker 9: Nancy Guthrie was last seen outside her Tucson area home
Speaker 9: on Saturday night. Eric Zona Investigation, Eric.
Speaker 3: Good Morning.
Speaker 10: There is now a twenty five hundred dollars reward offered
Speaker 10: for any information that may.
Speaker 3: Help locate the eighty four year old. All right, that
Speaker 3: was something that stood out to me too. Twenty five
Speaker 3: hundred dollars reward very specific.
Speaker 4: And I'm not trying to sound like a brat, but
Speaker 4: twenty five hundred teams low. It seems very low lords
Speaker 4: in the past.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's low on purpose. I don't know.
Speaker 2: You know, this is a big deal that's spilling out
Speaker 2: into national news.
Speaker 1: Do you think a nefarious person out there might hold
Speaker 1: back the tip to wait for that number to go
Speaker 1: a little bit.
Speaker 3: If we can get a little higher. I got, I
Speaker 3: got Grandma on the couch over here.
Speaker 4: It's a tip for you. Raise the reward.
Speaker 1: Twenty five hundred dollars is not a whole lot. It's
Speaker 1: just truly not Let's see what else they said.
Speaker 10: The sheriff's office there says they don't know exactly what happened,
Speaker 10: but do know she didn't leave her home on her own.
Speaker 11: Okay, she is very limited in her mobility, right, we
Speaker 11: know she didn't just walk out of it.
Speaker 3: Is the sheriff is that we know there are.
Speaker 11: Other things that the sign that the scene that indicate
Speaker 11: there was there was a.
Speaker 7: She did not leave on her own.
Speaker 3: Okay, what dude, like he did? You hear him, I'll
Speaker 3: bring that back.
Speaker 2: He said there were other things at the scene, and
Speaker 2: then he really didn't want.
Speaker 3: To say whatever.
Speaker 1: It sounded like he may have stopped himself in his
Speaker 1: tracks before saying struggle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I think so too.
Speaker 1: Because obviously we know I don't know if this press
Speaker 1: conference was before or after we found out that there
Speaker 1: was blood on the scene and that was one of
Speaker 1: the contributing factors to changing this from a simple missing
Speaker 1: person's case to a crime scene.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 1: But you know, he's always he's been very cagy these
Speaker 1: past two days about describing exactly what led them to
Speaker 1: make that switch.
Speaker 4: But there's probably some evidence in which they know how
Speaker 4: to nail the perp. Because the public is not aware.
Speaker 2: Of this knowledge, they definitely want to hold back something.
Speaker 2: But just kind of I'll go back listen to him,
Speaker 2: just himm And and han over that okay, listen to him
Speaker 2: kind of not one dimension what happened to the scene.
Speaker 3: Her home on her own.
Speaker 7: She is very limited in her mobility, right. We know
Speaker 7: she didn't just walk out of there. That is that.
Speaker 3: We know.
Speaker 11: There are other things that the sign that the scene
Speaker 11: that indicate there was there was a a.
Speaker 7: She did not leave on her own.
Speaker 3: Man sheriff declined her there.
Speaker 10: The Silent Detectives found that eighty four year old Nancy
Speaker 10: Guthrie's Tucson area home where she lived alone but did
Speaker 10: have help around.
Speaker 3: Myself, Missus guth three.
Speaker 11: Nancy Guthrie is of great sound mind.
Speaker 13: This is not a dementia related She is as sharp
Speaker 13: as attack.
Speaker 10: She was last seen outside her home around nine thirty
Speaker 10: Saturday night.
Speaker 3: We put all a while ago into this though.
Speaker 7: Our drone systems are our aircraft, so.
Speaker 2: They got drones up, they got choppers up there looking
Speaker 2: absolutely everywhere, and they think that this woman was taken.
Speaker 3: Against her will.
Speaker 2: And Savannah Guthrie, the Today's Show co anchor, she is now.
Speaker 2: She released a statement here and I wanted to pop
Speaker 2: that into this. It says, let me see, let me
Speaker 2: go to actually the source post here here she is,
Speaker 2: she posted, Please pray. This is Savannah Guthrie. We believe
Speaker 2: in prayer. We believe in voices raised in unison and
Speaker 2: love and hope. We believe in goodness. We believe in
Speaker 2: humanity above all, we believe in Him capital Age. Thank
Speaker 2: you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved
Speaker 2: mom Our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a
Speaker 2: good and faithful servant. Raise your prayers with us, and
Speaker 2: believe with us that she will be lifted by them
Speaker 2: in this very moment we need you. He will keep
Speaker 2: in perfect peace those whose hearts are steadfast trusting in
Speaker 2: thy Lord, a verse of Isaiah, for all time, for
Speaker 2: all of us.
Speaker 3: Bring her home, Lah.
Speaker 2: She says, no real details in They're just like, hey,
Speaker 2: pray for my mom to come back. And there's so
Speaker 2: many bizarre, bizarre things that are happening around this story.
Speaker 4: Cameras, no neighbor ring cams, no nothing, light cameras that
Speaker 4: picked up anything.
Speaker 3: Nothing that they've released yet, Sabrina. I mean they might
Speaker 3: have something.
Speaker 2: People are also saying, Savannah Guthrie's worth fifty million dollars.
Speaker 2: She is, and maybe there's a reason why they're not
Speaker 2: making the reward higher. Maybe you know, I just don't know.
Speaker 2: I literally don't know why why they would do it
Speaker 2: this way. The other story is Savannah Guthrie is missing mom.
Speaker 2: Blood found in home after abduction, and it says the
Speaker 2: La Times said blood was discovered alongside signs of force
Speaker 2: entry at her multi million dollar Tucson home where Nancy
Speaker 2: Guthrie lives. Authorities have not confirmed who the blood belongs to.
Speaker 2: She was reported missing Sunday, hours after returning home from
Speaker 2: dinner Saturday night. Savannah's sister Anne is believed to be
Speaker 2: the last person seeing her mom.
Speaker 3: They believe she was Here's the key part.
Speaker 2: Nancy was taken from her bed in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night, and investigators are looking at registered sex offenders
Speaker 2: and others in the area while coming through video from
Speaker 2: cameras at her home, neighbors, residences, local businesses, and traffic lights.
Speaker 2: All right, so, I mean, all of this is very strange.
Speaker 2: They said they believe she was abducted while she slept,
Speaker 2: the sheriff saying, I do believe she was abducted. Yes,
Speaker 2: she didn't walk from there, she didn't go willingly. It's
Speaker 2: all very very often. Yeah, and what else do I
Speaker 2: have here in the runway.
Speaker 1: They're looking into local sex offenders.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't know why it could be a
Speaker 4: deranged person.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 2: Would lead us to believe that they were thinking it
Speaker 2: wasn't a targeted thing because her daughter is on the
Speaker 2: Today Show. That is just some crazy person or something
Speaker 2: targeted thing.
Speaker 4: You would assume that there was some indication of a
Speaker 4: ransom or this is why we're.
Speaker 2: Doing it, And maybe there is, but they certainly haven't
Speaker 2: shared that. Savannah Guthrie of NBC has announced she's pulling
Speaker 2: out of the Winter Olympics. She will not be taking
Speaker 2: part in the Winter Olympics, which is coming up just
Speaker 2: a bit here in a handful of days on her network.
Speaker 1: It's a huge event opening ceremonies Friday.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And I mean that's a big, big thing
Speaker 3: that shows.
Speaker 1: You, which means they usually start doing the actual sports
Speaker 1: a couple of days before the opening ceremonies. I think
Speaker 1: some of the events will start as early as tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And this.
Speaker 2: Would be something that she was probably a big part of. Also,
Speaker 2: the neighbor of NBC hosts Savannah Guthrie's missing mother, Nancy,
Speaker 2: has described the chaotic scene of authority searching the neighborhood
Speaker 2: she was reported missing. They said the area is usually quiet.
Speaker 2: Residents are used to walking their dog, cycling and waving
Speaker 2: good morning to one another, but now there's a crime
Speaker 2: scene in the area and this has just thrown things
Speaker 2: into absolute chaos.
Speaker 3: She has a beautiful house.
Speaker 2: I'm seeing the over overhead view of her house here,
Speaker 2: her residence with a pool, and it's this nice area.
Speaker 4: And to some on Arizona checks up on her every
Speaker 4: day to know that something happened.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. She has people who go out
Speaker 2: and help at the house her. This is a key piece.
Speaker 2: Nancy's phone, wallet and car were all still at her
Speaker 2: home when police began looking for her, and detective search
Speaker 2: or property. She also disappeared without taking the medicine she
Speaker 2: needs to survive with her. A source close to Savannah
Speaker 2: Guthrie told The Daily Mail it did not seem like
Speaker 2: Nancy had chosen to leave on her own accord. They
Speaker 2: said they were asking people to check all their doorbell
Speaker 2: cameras and house cameras to see if they can find
Speaker 2: anything about this. And as I said, the reward and nothing, nothing, nothing.
Speaker 2: She can't help me again. A reward of up to
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred dollars has been offered, which.
Speaker 3: Is up to twenty five up to twenty five. That
Speaker 3: could be less than twenty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the actual reward post eighty A crime. It
Speaker 2: says reward of up to twenty five hundred dollars for
Speaker 2: information leading to the recip or of the person's or
Speaker 2: person involved in the disappearance.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's where she lives, but they're despite not knowing
Speaker 4: the details or who did what. Surrounding areas should give
Speaker 4: you somewhat of a timeline.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's strange and I'd like to hear if anybody
Speaker 2: has seen anything else about this to add to the rundown.
Speaker 2: Anybody has theories of what you think could actually be
Speaker 2: going on, You could.
Speaker 3: To our rundown.
Speaker 1: We have the best rundown they can try.
Speaker 3: If it was in the rundown. There's nothing else.
Speaker 4: But if you'd like to contribute to the bum down,
Speaker 4: by all means.
Speaker 3: They can, they can give it a shot.
Speaker 2: All you have to do tips at the news junky
Speaker 2: dot com, email the show. If you want to be anonymous,
Speaker 2: put it on top tips at the news junky dot
Speaker 2: com or record your video or audio dispatch and send
Speaker 2: that over. Now when we come back, we got more
Speaker 2: pre Super Bowl drama to get into and in the
Speaker 2: world of sports, because man, are we good at sports
Speaker 2: Around these parts. People are mad at the Hockey League. Yeah,
Speaker 2: tell me about it. They're on the ice with the
Speaker 2: pucks and the shot.
Speaker 4: Are they mad?
Speaker 3: Oh, they're mad.
Speaker 2: They're mad about something that happened during an NHL game
Speaker 2: and it was one of those like halftime try to
Speaker 2: hit the shot in the in the special tiny little
Speaker 2: goal for some money thing. I'll tell you what went
Speaker 2: down and why people are mad about this is an
Speaker 2: interesting story that is coming up next in the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: There's a story out there and people are pissed off
Speaker 2: about the NHL, which is interesting for a couple of reasons,
Speaker 2: because I felt like the NHL was maybe one of
Speaker 2: the more liked leagues out there.
Speaker 4: Ye sure, it's like family friendly than any of the
Speaker 4: fights and stuff that everyone to get along.
Speaker 1: Beyond that, I could see where some people would be
Speaker 1: pissed about that part. They're like, oh, the NHL is,
Speaker 1: you know, is violent?
Speaker 4: Then the little kids doing it during halftime.
Speaker 2: They had had a little bit of a scandal with
Speaker 2: a brawl on the ice, staged brawl with a bunch
Speaker 2: of kids. But now they have a different kind of
Speaker 2: of drama going on.
Speaker 3: And here's one of the stories about this.
Speaker 2: It says the NHL will All Caps not be donating
Speaker 2: one million dollars to a cancer charity because some guy
Speaker 2: named Rob didn't make a half ice shot into a
Speaker 2: tiny puck sized.
Speaker 1: Hole way to go, which is the reason they're mad
Speaker 1: at this guy. Here's the moment here. This guy's a.
Speaker 4: Cancer survivor, Rob Rob sucks.
Speaker 3: This is a cancer survivor named Rob.
Speaker 1: Higgins went to them another Tampa Bay Buccaneers Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer run Day Barber two percent a check in the
Speaker 1: amount of one hundred thousand dollars, so they gave him
Speaker 1: a Higgins. They gave him a check for one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. But if he would have made this shot,
Speaker 1: it would have been a million.
Speaker 2: And people we're mad because they're like, how dystopian to
Speaker 2: promise a million dollars to a cancer charity if some
Speaker 2: crazy feat is done and then give like a fraction
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 3: When the guy misses inevitably.
Speaker 4: The different thing is like, if he misses it, we're
Speaker 4: still gonna do it anyway because it's a great cause.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like that's what we would have done.
Speaker 2: We would be like, we're gonna give a thousand dollars
Speaker 2: a charity if you can you can shoot ten three.
Speaker 3: Pointers in a row.
Speaker 1: Okay, But usually the way that these we give the
Speaker 1: money though, Yeah, but usually the way that these seemingly
Speaker 1: impossible kind of games work. The half court shot, the
Speaker 1: full court shot, the tiny buckle is that the person
Speaker 1: who is making the shot win something like a car,
Speaker 1: and they don't want to pay him. They don't want
Speaker 1: to pay off for the car, so they get prize
Speaker 1: insurance and if the person makes the half court shot,
Speaker 1: they don't have to pay insurance company pays for the car,
Speaker 1: and you know, you move forward and then do it
Speaker 1: again next week.
Speaker 3: Now, can you do that for charity? For charity?
Speaker 1: You would think that, I mean, is an insurance company
Speaker 1: doing this. It's just a weird look because this is
Speaker 1: what they were mad about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the story suggesting that this guy goes up and
Speaker 2: it says this is absolutely out of touch, just classless,
Speaker 2: lowering a million dollar charity donation by eight hundred thousand
Speaker 2: dollars in more, because a cancer survivor missed a tiny,
Speaker 2: impossible target live on TV. The NHL should have built
Speaker 2: the widest net ever and asked dozens of survivors to
Speaker 2: score symbolically. So they didn't like the over promise of this.
Speaker 2: And they said, and by the way, the thing is,
Speaker 2: I feel the worst for the Rob guy because the
Speaker 2: Rob guy gets called out.
Speaker 3: He's a cancer survivor and it's.
Speaker 2: Like, Rob, if you make this impossible goal, the cancer
Speaker 2: research charity gets a million dollars. But if you miss
Speaker 2: this incredibly hard thing, then the cancer kids die.
Speaker 4: There is blood on your hands. And you survived this,
Speaker 4: but you have guilt forever.
Speaker 3: Uh huh with that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a screen way to put it.
Speaker 2: That's on you. I'm sorry. Oh let me see hold on,
Speaker 2: I want to see him. Does it show him trying
Speaker 2: and all?
Speaker 3: It doesn't? Doesn't It was that bad? Huh? Maybe they
Speaker 3: just shut the whole thing down this.
Speaker 2: I think this video might be of it here for
Speaker 2: those of you watching, you can watch the show by
Speaker 2: the way over on YouTube dot com. Slash the news
Speaker 2: junkie is this his attempts?
Speaker 3: Another version. Yeah, this looks good. There's somebody else trying it, Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: So they have the goal and then the goal.
Speaker 2: Is completely blocked out except for one little.
Speaker 1: Like mailbox size hole. It looks like the the bulletproof
Speaker 1: glass at a seven eleven.
Speaker 3: And you got to get the whole. You gotta get
Speaker 3: the puck into that hole.
Speaker 1: And this guy wasn't a cigarettes it's not it's not great,
Speaker 1: but they are really all over them.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 3: They did at least give something to charity, right, there's
Speaker 3: something to that. I guess I do.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing NHL from their ex account. What a moment
Speaker 1: as cancer survivor Rob Higgins is presented with a two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars donation courtesy of the Lightning Foundation and
Speaker 1: the NHL hashtag stadium Series?
Speaker 3: Was this a stadium series? Was that last night or
Speaker 3: this weekend?
Speaker 2: It says it was the Stadium Series matchup between Tampa
Speaker 2: Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins when this happened. So whenever
Speaker 2: that game was is when this went down. I think
Speaker 2: it was a couple of days ago, like maybe just
Speaker 2: over the weekend. And somebody says, so I gather is
Speaker 2: that the NHL could have donated a million dollars to
Speaker 2: cancer research and didn't because an average dude couldn't put
Speaker 2: the puck in a tiny hole from center ice.
Speaker 3: Cool cool cool.
Speaker 2: So the NHL could have donated a million dollars here
Speaker 2: but chose not to because the guy couldn't put a
Speaker 2: puck through a tiny hole. Some good charity work right there.
Speaker 2: They said people were upset about this because of the
Speaker 2: over promise under delivery.
Speaker 3: I guess I think it says hashtag stadium series there.
Speaker 1: I think this is the game that I saw a
Speaker 1: couple of pictures from on social media that they held
Speaker 1: at the Buccaneer Stadium Raymond James Sta. They just had
Speaker 1: a game there that they set up the hockey ice
Speaker 1: in the middle of the football field and just packed
Speaker 1: the stadium full of people.
Speaker 2: Was that the one I saw where it looked weird
Speaker 2: because it seemed like the fans were so far away
Speaker 2: for a lot of them.
Speaker 14: More.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so it was like in.
Speaker 2: The in the middle of this arena, there's a tiny
Speaker 2: little hockey rink, and it was they were so far
Speaker 2: away from it.
Speaker 3: It's in the middle of a stadium.
Speaker 1: It's a football stadium and the hockey rink is significantly
Speaker 1: you know, a regulation size hockey rink is significantly smaller
Speaker 1: than a football.
Speaker 3: Field, So it looks weird.
Speaker 1: It's cool that they packed that many people out there,
Speaker 1: there's an outdoor hockey game, but it's also there's a
Speaker 1: little bit of awkward there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think? Let us know? Is it
Speaker 3: fine because they still gave a big donation?
Speaker 2: Should you not do like, hey, we're going to ride
Speaker 2: a huge cancer donation on the backs of this guy
Speaker 2: doing an impossible stunt, but oh, we'll give a little
Speaker 2: bit instead.
Speaker 3: Is that wrong of them to do? Let us know.
Speaker 2: Tip at the newsjunkie dot com or send a dispatch
Speaker 2: over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 3: Speaking at emails, Steve emails the show talking about the
Speaker 3: crows in my backyard, which are still there. They will
Speaker 3: not leave.
Speaker 2: I just I'm starting to envision I'm starting to envision
Speaker 2: like conversations amongst them where they're mad at one of
Speaker 2: the ones who led them here and they're like, I
Speaker 2: thought we were flying south for the winter.
Speaker 4: Or keep coming out with his boxers on screaming.
Speaker 3: At us, why is it thirty degrees?
Speaker 2: Did we take a wrong turn and they're all in
Speaker 2: this tree in my backyard, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 2: of them. And when I walk out there, something all
Speaker 2: fly up in the air, and I don't want to
Speaker 2: piss off the crows. So I am really at a
Speaker 2: loss for what to do. But Steve has some ideas.
Speaker 2: It may sound like I'm joking, but crows have good
Speaker 2: memories of people that have wronged them, and they also
Speaker 2: tell other crows about them. So maybe you wrong the
Speaker 2: crows somewhere, and this is why they're in your tree,
Speaker 2: says Steve.
Speaker 3: Well, I hope not. I don't know how to make
Speaker 3: it right here.
Speaker 2: I'm really kind of stuck on this one, so I'll
Speaker 2: take more crow advice. How to get rid of the
Speaker 2: giant tree full of crows that I have in my backy.
Speaker 2: Are literally hundreds and hundreds of them just hanging there
Speaker 2: in the cold weather.
Speaker 3: Two more real quick. This is Garrett.
Speaker 2: Garrett's talking about the door Dash conversation yesterday, and notably
Speaker 2: the younger girl who I think was gen Z and
Speaker 2: the Instagram video that I played from where her mom
Speaker 2: or sister or somebody some older person in her life
Speaker 2: filmed her as DoorDash was arriving and she door dashed
Speaker 2: popcorn from the movie theater, which is maybe the biggest
Speaker 2: waste of money.
Speaker 3: It was a big though probably do like she.
Speaker 2: Bought the thing of popcorn from the movie theater that
Speaker 2: was probably twenty four bucks, and then fees and tip
Speaker 2: and all that.
Speaker 3: Who knows what she spent.
Speaker 1: But this person says, if you think that microwave popcorn
Speaker 1: can even compare to movie theater popcorn, you're insane.
Speaker 2: Says Garrett. I understand financially that it sounds ridiculous, but
Speaker 2: you're paying for that special salt flavor call Sea Lane
Speaker 2: flag on the field.
Speaker 1: Is flavor call a word, and the flavor call is
Speaker 1: a brand that if you were to, like look up
Speaker 1: on YouTube how to make movie theater popcorn at home.
Speaker 1: I think there's a bunch of them that'll be like,
Speaker 1: you need to buy this flavor call stuff.
Speaker 2: All right, that's the salt is and he says, and
Speaker 2: buttered flavored coconut oil. Sir, let me pause here, Garrett,
Speaker 2: I will guarantee you I can find the salt, the
Speaker 2: coconut oil. I could find all of this stuff for sense,
Speaker 2: like big giant things of it, for like ridiculously low
Speaker 2: amounts of money.
Speaker 4: But I also think there's something to the popcorn machine
Speaker 4: that changes the taste.
Speaker 3: So go buy a popcorn machine.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, is it one time? Sehn Watson?
Speaker 2: Well, if the person is buying popcorn from door dash,
Speaker 2: I feel like there were repeat purchaser, and I feel like,
Speaker 2: I mean, look, anybody defending the financial savvy of this
Speaker 2: movie is far gone.
Speaker 14: You are.
Speaker 2: You are way down the road, like Dave Ramsey had
Speaker 2: an aneurysm listening to any of this, Like you're that
Speaker 2: far down the road. He says, there's a bag of
Speaker 2: popcorn in the theater costs twelve to eight dollars. Sure,
Speaker 2: the actual cost of the kernels is probably like eighty
Speaker 2: nine cents or less. Sure, it's ridiculous, but that's besides
Speaker 2: the point.
Speaker 3: No, that is the point. That is the point.
Speaker 2: And I will tell you, sir, as a man who
Speaker 2: probably goes to the movie theater and has popcorn more
Speaker 2: than you or most people, the difference between a lot
Speaker 2: of at home microwave popcorns and the popcorns that you
Speaker 2: get at most movie theaters, like in Regal or whoever
Speaker 2: the big chain is is really a tiny, little difference.
Speaker 2: It's not the biggest difference in the texture or the flavor.
Speaker 2: You can buy half of the stuff to soup up
Speaker 2: your popcorn you make it home. The point is popcorn
Speaker 2: kernels are literally one of the cheapest things you can get.
Speaker 2: You can buy a thing on Amazon for like seven
Speaker 2: dollars that you could put the kernels in, put the
Speaker 2: oil in and the salt in, and make it almost
Speaker 2: exactly like they make it at the theater. This is
Speaker 2: an example of just wasting money. You're supposed to buy
Speaker 2: the popcorn at the movie theater in one way as
Speaker 2: a bite to eat while you're watching the movie, but
Speaker 2: in another as a gesture to the business that I'm
Speaker 2: going to throw some money at you for the big,
Speaker 2: beautiful screen and the nice comfy chairs that you keep
Speaker 2: clean for us.
Speaker 3: That's sort of the deal that you would make on that.
Speaker 2: So financially, I think it's just catastrophically stupid.
Speaker 1: But this flavor call is on Amazon. It's made by
Speaker 1: gold Medal, which is a company out of Cincinnati, Ohio,
Speaker 1: and it looks like they have not changed the flav
Speaker 1: a cool. It looks like they haven't changed the packaging
Speaker 1: in just decades. They probably don't need to right oh,
Speaker 1: because I mean it's made for carnies and movie theaters.
Speaker 1: And if you look at this like the side of
Speaker 1: the box, it's like for additional profits. Consider snow cones,
Speaker 1: because we saw that too hot candy can make plenty
Speaker 1: of plus profits.
Speaker 2: I forget too for matter tasting popcorn. They've got to
Speaker 2: have this gold metal package here. Just for the record,
Speaker 2: thirty five ounces of this amazing popcorn salt is seven.
Speaker 3: Dollars for the chemicals.
Speaker 2: In that you could start the entirety of the business
Speaker 2: that creates this product something a couple one hundred dollars yourself,
Speaker 2: and then make your own popcorn when you.
Speaker 4: Feel like and deliver it to people who want to
Speaker 4: order it.
Speaker 2: It is maybe maybe you undercut You're like Undercutter's pizza,
Speaker 2: Undercutters popcorn. You could get something out of that. I
Speaker 2: just think there's no justifying some of these purchases. They're
Speaker 2: just very, very wasteful, and people have gotten allergic, it
Speaker 2: seems to cooking at home, which I think could be
Speaker 2: like such a fun thing and in our lives, just
Speaker 2: as humans wandering the world. One of the really great
Speaker 2: things besides sex that we get to enjoy is food,
Speaker 2: and so enjoy and not not No, no, I don't know.
Speaker 3: That I ever have lived well like a col zone.
Speaker 4: I'm not going into details. There's bame. There's food you
Speaker 4: can eat.
Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna say bangable food.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's bangable food. That's red thing.
Speaker 2: Get back into the idea that cooking is fun and
Speaker 2: you can enjoy yourself and you can make great stuff.
Speaker 2: And it's not some weird sign of like weakness for
Speaker 2: somebody to cook. It's it's kind of awesome. Actually, I
Speaker 2: offer to cook all the time. I am routinely turned
Speaker 2: down for various reasons on that.
Speaker 3: I don't think the reasons are various.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably would not be great, but at least
Speaker 1: I try, at least I attempt to try.
Speaker 4: What name one meal that you feel confident, don't.
Speaker 3: Say that's the that's the one that I'm most confident.
Speaker 2: And you put the scrambled eggs which you put a
Speaker 2: little milk in and then put them in a hot
Speaker 2: dog bun. You got the egger dogger. Dylan was moted
Speaker 2: away by him. I was motorway as a kid. It's
Speaker 2: one of the tricks that.
Speaker 4: I got sure. Dylan was mowed away by them.
Speaker 3: He asked for them. But I think about it, there
Speaker 3: wasn't a huge There wasn't a huge list of hits.
Speaker 3: It was. It wasn't like, well, I could get this
Speaker 3: if I.
Speaker 2: Wanted to, I could get No, it wasn't well, we'll
Speaker 2: see what you think about all of this. Hit us
Speaker 2: up with the dispatch of the newsjunkie dot com when
Speaker 2: we come back. A cruise ship is apologizing for something
Speaker 2: that happened to a family.
Speaker 1: This is a pretty wild story. And before you book
Speaker 1: a cruise or go on one this year, you might
Speaker 1: want to hear what happened, because that is coming up
Speaker 1: next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: I want to look up something real quick, Seelene, because
Speaker 2: I remember seeing this in a headline yesterday and I
Speaker 2: don't know if I've heard anybody talk about it since.
Speaker 3: But one of the big stories going right now is
Speaker 3: this mystery.
Speaker 2: We did a rundown on it on the beginning of
Speaker 2: the show, so if you missed, you can get caught
Speaker 2: up with what's happening with Savannah Guthrie, the co host
Speaker 2: of the Today Show. Her mother is missing her eighty
Speaker 2: four year old mother in Arizona and they think that
Speaker 2: she's been abducted. They think that something may have happened
Speaker 2: with her. There might have been blood at the scene.
Speaker 2: Everybody's being very cagey there about this woman being a
Speaker 2: missing person. I thought I saw double check this sea Lan.
Speaker 2: I thought I saw that there was word that she
Speaker 2: had just changed her will, that somebody that there was
Speaker 2: something about a change in her will that had just
Speaker 2: come up.
Speaker 3: But I haven't seen it in any story since then.
Speaker 3: I was just out of this.
Speaker 1: This is hard because Bill is being used a lot
Speaker 1: in the reporting of this because she's They're saying that
Speaker 1: she had been taken against her will, so it's hard
Speaker 1: to pinpoint.
Speaker 14: Mean last testament, Yeah, I just saw one headline because
Speaker 14: I was really going deep through this to catch up
Speaker 14: with everything yesterday, so I had a broad knowledge based
Speaker 14: on it, and I thought I saw something that said
Speaker 14: there was a change in her will right before this,
Speaker 14: And to me, I said that that.
Speaker 3: Seems a little odd timing wise.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know she's eighty four years old, but
Speaker 2: it still seems right, all of a sudden, there's this
Speaker 2: pressure to change.
Speaker 3: Your will for some reason.
Speaker 1: Now, I tried testament, like Sabrina said, and It says
Speaker 1: encountering Jesus in the Old Testament.
Speaker 4: For Yeah, it turns out you can find Jesus for
Speaker 4: twenty ninety nine.
Speaker 2: We might be able to find that and see if
Speaker 2: you can just scroll through and maybe even ask Ai
Speaker 2: to sort a little deeper in that. Yeah, and let
Speaker 2: me know, because I maybe I fever dreamed that one.
Speaker 2: If I did, I'll walk it back. But I thought
Speaker 2: that I saw something that said that there was an
Speaker 2: effort to make her change her will or something had
Speaker 2: changed in her will right before she disappeared, which is
Speaker 2: obviously something of note in a case like this. So
Speaker 2: let's toss that out there. Let me know, just shout
Speaker 2: out if you get an update on that cealing. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: Royal Caribbean is getting some heat and I don't really
Speaker 2: think they did anything wrong here, even though.
Speaker 3: It appears that they apologize.
Speaker 2: Hold on the okay, it it appears that they apologized
Speaker 2: for something that happened on one of their cruises and
Speaker 2: the mother is very upset about this.
Speaker 3: Now I'm bringing up the story here.
Speaker 2: This says Royal Caribbean reportedly apologizes after mom says adult
Speaker 2: son with autism was kicked off cruise and then the
Speaker 2: quote from the mom is there there was no compassion.
Speaker 2: Royal Caribbean says they could have been more sensitive to
Speaker 2: their needs in a statement shared with the Philadelphia Inquirer. Now,
Speaker 2: the basic facts of this story.
Speaker 3: About this autistic kid, autistic adult, autistic.
Speaker 2: Guy getting kicked off this Royal Caribbean cruise is that
Speaker 2: something happened and they not only kicked them off like hey,
Speaker 2: hey at the next port or like a warning, They
Speaker 2: just like booted them in the middle of the cruise,
Speaker 2: off the shape, right into the water.
Speaker 3: He just walked the.
Speaker 2: Plank, basically made have walked the plank. And when you
Speaker 2: hear the details, I think it might change your mind
Speaker 2: just a little bit. South Jersey mom says she did
Speaker 2: everything she could to prepare for her sixtieth birthday cruise
Speaker 2: with her four sons. However, the trip came to an
Speaker 2: unfortunate end when her eldest child with autism was reportedly
Speaker 2: kicked off the ship. So's she's sixty, She's got these
Speaker 2: four kids. I think all of them are in different
Speaker 2: shapes disabled. Oh, and they said with all the information
Speaker 2: about autism, there was no compassion. Mom said they treated
Speaker 2: him as a fully functioning adult. Well, here's one of
Speaker 2: the things. Mom said, Well, they have autism a couple
Speaker 2: of my boys, but they're they're adults, so she just
Speaker 2: lets them roam freely around the ship, right, And they're
Speaker 2: roaming freely around the ship. And then afterwards Mom's like.
Speaker 3: Well, what are you doing? He has autism. He's just
Speaker 3: like a little kid. And I don't know if you could.
Speaker 2: Do both of those things, you know, I think like
Speaker 2: if you have somebody who's your family member who needs
Speaker 2: extra attention like this, I don't think you could just
Speaker 2: send them off.
Speaker 3: You know, it's like, I enjoy your cruise.
Speaker 2: We'll see on the other side, like it's some sort
Speaker 2: of babysitter situation.
Speaker 4: I think you see people do that all the time
Speaker 4: with non disabled children.
Speaker 3: Well with the disabled restaurant.
Speaker 4: That has a patio and it's like, oh, the waitress
Speaker 4: will be your babysitter now on a cruise ship.
Speaker 2: Generally speaking, children have areas to go from all the
Speaker 2: different ages, Like all different ages have like areas where
Speaker 2: they can you can bring your kid and you'll put
Speaker 2: them there.
Speaker 3: But I don't think could be wrong.
Speaker 2: Don't think that they have an area like this for
Speaker 2: adults whom I have, like autism or anything else.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what their deal is with that.
Speaker 2: Purea detailed the events of her seven day Caribbean celebrity
Speaker 2: cruise for a report. A month before the trip, the
Speaker 2: mom says she reached out to the cruise line to
Speaker 2: inform them about her children's special needs. She has a
Speaker 2: son with autism, she says, and she has two younger boys,
Speaker 2: one with I've never heard of this mosaic down syndrome
Speaker 2: and another one with here's the thing, I haven't heard
Speaker 2: of fragile X syndrome.
Speaker 3: Let's see what the hell that is.
Speaker 2: So one of her four kids, one of her four
Speaker 2: kids has autism, the other one has mosaic Down syndrome,
Speaker 2: and the other one has fragile X syndrome.
Speaker 1: That X chromosome. That's like fragile it's subceptible to damage.
Speaker 4: Especially by folic acid deficiency. Affected individuals tend to have
Speaker 4: limited intellectual functions.
Speaker 2: All right, So she's got four kids, at least three
Speaker 2: of them are intellectually disabled in some way. So what
Speaker 2: happened In the report. Piro claims her thirty one year
Speaker 2: old son, Sean Curran, was kicked off the ship and Cozammel,
Speaker 2: Mexico on.
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve Jesus after she said Cruise of Visuals.
Speaker 2: Lacked understanding of his disability. On the fourth day of
Speaker 2: the cruise, Kerran says he was in the pool lounge
Speaker 2: when a teenage girl came up to him. The teenage
Speaker 2: girl said, will you buy me a Long Island iced
Speaker 2: tea at the bar? He said he didn't know that
Speaker 2: the drink contained alcohol, so he purchased the drink and
Speaker 2: gave it to the teenage girl. You can't do this,
Speaker 2: all right, you can't, like, you can't buy an underage kid,
Speaker 2: or buy anybody else an alcoholic drink from the.
Speaker 3: Bar and give it to him.
Speaker 2: But he goes, oh, it was a Long Island iced tea.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that this was an alcoholic beverage, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2: So he made the purchase and gave the drink to
Speaker 2: the teenager and a.
Speaker 3: Teenager was really shooting for.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, if I'm gonna hay mister somebody, I
Speaker 1: want to get everything out of this that I can
Speaker 1: before that well drives.
Speaker 4: Up the girls like what mixers do you have?
Speaker 1: As this was Kurran's fourth cruise, he was allowed to
Speaker 1: wander on his own, so his family was not around.
Speaker 2: At the time of incident. So the family's like, look,
Speaker 2: he's not like any other adult. He's like a child.
Speaker 2: But on the other hand, we're just gonna let him
Speaker 2: wander around because he's been on a bunch of other cruises.
Speaker 3: Kurrn says.
Speaker 2: The girl proceeded to touch his chest and stomach, used profanity,
Speaker 2: and then followed him to a hot tub, where he
Speaker 2: lifted her quote like Shrek carried Princess Fiona in one
Speaker 2: of his favorite movies. Oh that's according to the report.
Speaker 2: The girl's parents later arrived screaming. So the girls were
Speaker 2: mad that this thirty one year old man was physically
Speaker 2: touching their teenage daughter and that the teenage daughter was
Speaker 2: drinking a long islandized tea that this man had purchased
Speaker 2: for her. So he was brought to a security office
Speaker 2: where he was asked to give a statement. During the questioning,
Speaker 2: he claimed he offered aology to the girl's parents and
Speaker 2: reported that he has autism.
Speaker 3: I have autism, and I was just trying to be nice,
Speaker 3: he said.
Speaker 2: Celebrity cruise employees gave him ninety minutes to pack and
Speaker 2: leave the ship. See a letter, baby, They said, get
Speaker 2: out of here. She accompanied him with one of his siblings.
Speaker 2: As they left, she said, other passengers said, look at them,
Speaker 2: they're getting kicked off the ship. It was so shameful.
Speaker 2: She thinks cruise officials could have handled the situation differently.
Speaker 2: They could have restricted him to his room or revoked
Speaker 2: his room card that allowed him to buy drinks. But
Speaker 2: when she got home, she said, Celebrity Cruise's head apologized
Speaker 2: through the parent company, Royal Caribbean, and she is asking
Speaker 2: for a twenty thousand dollars reimbursement for what she spent
Speaker 2: on the cruise. She said that according to their website,
Speaker 2: they're an autism friendly cruise line and this should risk
Speaker 2: that status.
Speaker 3: Now, I will tell you if I'm I don't know.
Speaker 2: This is tough because the autistic man is wandering around
Speaker 2: on his own.
Speaker 3: So is the teenage girl. She's wandering around on her own.
Speaker 2: She's underage on her now, I don't know if that
Speaker 2: means she's eighteen or nineteen or seventeen or fourteen. But
Speaker 2: the teenager she was wandering around, Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Yeah she's under age, it doesn't matter. But like she
Speaker 2: was wandering around on her own and she gets involved
Speaker 2: in this guy and then he's grabbing her and touching
Speaker 2: her and he makes the teenager uncomfortable, and then he
Speaker 2: bought her liquor as well.
Speaker 3: What is the cruise line really.
Speaker 2: Supposed to do if anybody else did that, I think.
Speaker 3: They'd heave ho him off the ship just like this.
Speaker 4: Did she say she was uncomfortable with her parents walked up?
Speaker 3: I have the same questioning.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll go a little bit deeper into this as
Speaker 2: as we roll onto the show, because there are some
Speaker 2: more details. We got to talk more about the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl halftime show and some drama building up on that front.
Speaker 2: We're loaded up baby lots to talk about on a
Speaker 2: share the show Tuesday, and that's all coming up next
Speaker 2: in the News Junkie. The story is grabbing a lot
Speaker 2: of attention because it's about.
Speaker 3: A big cruise line. The parent company is Royal Caribbean,
Speaker 3: and they have apologized. But sometimes I.
Speaker 2: Wonder like, are they apologizing because they really looked into
Speaker 2: all this and said they really should have done it
Speaker 2: a different way, or are they apologizing because the family
Speaker 2: complained and they think, well, we don't want any more
Speaker 2: trouble with this.
Speaker 3: The story is about this family.
Speaker 2: This woman took her four kids, three of them have
Speaker 2: some form of autism or you know, intellectual disability, and
Speaker 2: she let them just kind of wander around, at least
Speaker 2: the one son that got involved in this incident on
Speaker 2: this cruise ship, and then one of them had a
Speaker 2: teenager come up to him. The teenager goes and maybe
Speaker 2: the teenager is fully taking advantage.
Speaker 3: He's like, this dude's disabled.
Speaker 4: Like the way he said it, it sounded a bit
Speaker 4: of a vibe. Didn't you say, rub it on his chest?
Speaker 2: And I yeah, I don't know if she did or not,
Speaker 2: but she did say from his perspective, the teenager comes
Speaker 2: over to him on this cruise, he said she was
Speaker 2: like rubbing on his chest and rubbing on him, and
Speaker 2: she says, will you buy me a Long Island iced tea?
Speaker 2: And he buys the teenager a Long Island iced tea,
Speaker 2: which he's not supposed to do, and the teenager then
Speaker 2: goes with him and he says he picked her up
Speaker 2: like Fiona and Shrek, which I'm just assuming, like he
Speaker 2: just means he picked up this teenager.
Speaker 4: He also says a lot about where his mind is.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, because he talking about a cartoon. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: And he put her in the hot tub.
Speaker 2: And then somehow her family figures out what's going on,
Speaker 2: and their family's like.
Speaker 3: He's touching her, he's rubbing on her.
Speaker 2: She's in the hot tub, she's drinking a a what
Speaker 2: I say, long island iced tea of strong alcoholic beverage.
Speaker 2: What's going on in the cruise ship kicks this autistic
Speaker 2: guy off with his mom in Mexico, right off the ship,
Speaker 2: you know, like out of here, he said, in the dark,
Speaker 2: in the dark, Yeah, was it Christmas Eve?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it says here.
Speaker 1: Let me get to the part in the Independent where
Speaker 1: they talk about just.
Speaker 2: Being on the dock, because just for the record, it
Speaker 2: should be zero tolerance that if you if you touch
Speaker 2: women without their permission on a cruise ship, or you're
Speaker 2: doing something like this with teenagers on the cruise ship,
Speaker 2: that you're booted off the ship immediately, it should be
Speaker 2: a zero tolerance thing. In my estimation that I just
Speaker 2: think that would be the best move. The only twist
Speaker 2: here is that this guy is autistic, but his family
Speaker 2: is so upset and they just kind of let him
Speaker 2: go off on his own and then when something happens
Speaker 2: with him in his family's like, well what.
Speaker 3: Do we you know, what are we supposed to do?
Speaker 2: Is well, maybe you should keep a closer eye on
Speaker 2: this kid. You can't just have the cruise ship babysit
Speaker 2: your autistic special needs adult children.
Speaker 3: And I don't know that this is what they do.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe they know.
Speaker 2: I know that they try to get certified for autistic
Speaker 2: people to be on the ships, and they usually have
Speaker 2: different things that accommodate and celebrity cruise does have that, yes,
Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean that if you're autistic on a
Speaker 2: cruise ship that just lets you run hog wild and
Speaker 2: there's no punishment under on account of the autism.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't the same go also for teenagers? He goes, Who's
Speaker 4: to say that this would not be the same outcome
Speaker 4: if it would have been some drunk twenty year old dude.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the punishment would be if you're
Speaker 2: underage drinking on a cruise ship. Doesn't seem to me
Speaker 2: like the punishment would be the same, Like you wouldn't
Speaker 2: kick the teenager off at the next port, but you
Speaker 2: would drastically reduce the freedoms. I would guess of the
Speaker 2: person who was doing this on that ship.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: But again, we'll open this up to a conversation tips
Speaker 2: of the news Yonky dot com or record a dispatch
Speaker 2: at the news junky dot com right now, go ahead
Speaker 2: to in.
Speaker 1: The version of this story. And I feel like there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of versions of this. I think we're
Speaker 1: just hearing one side of this. Yeah, we're not hearing
Speaker 1: really from the cruise line. We're not hearing much from
Speaker 1: the other family, and likely won't I think. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but this version on the Independent says after they took
Speaker 1: Kerrn's report, Pierro said she and her son were given
Speaker 1: ninety minutes to pack their things. We already talked about
Speaker 1: pack their things and leave the ship. Then they were
Speaker 1: left in Cosmel. I did not get a moment alone
Speaker 1: with Sean until we were on a dark, deserted duck
Speaker 1: in Mexico.
Speaker 3: They just dumped us.
Speaker 1: I had no cell phone service, it was pitch black
Speaker 1: and everything was closed. It was Christmas Eve.
Speaker 3: Fortunately, a paramedic flag to taxi for us who knew English.
Speaker 1: The taxi driver hotspoted his cell phone so I could
Speaker 1: look up the address of the hotel. This says Kurran.
Speaker 1: This is the autistic guy who did this. His mother
Speaker 1: is sixty years old, so he's in his thirties. I
Speaker 1: believe Kurran lives independently as possible. Well, hold on Kerran
Speaker 1: lives as independently as possible at home.
Speaker 3: Well, that's not him being independent, then, I wouldn't say.
Speaker 2: Pierro said he participates in jog training, training at the
Speaker 2: Ability Solutions of the location.
Speaker 3: Near them, has a girlfriend who she might not like
Speaker 3: hearing about this.
Speaker 2: Sings with the kind Baron's Chorus, volunteers at an animal
Speaker 2: hospital and enjoys dancing.
Speaker 3: They're having a great time.
Speaker 2: On a seven day Caribbean cruise in December to the
Speaker 2: celebrator's sixtieth birthday.
Speaker 3: Was his fourth cruise. He knew the ropes and was
Speaker 3: allowed to roam unaccompanied.
Speaker 2: Four days in the cruise, he was in a pool
Speaker 2: lounge when he said a teenage girl asked him to
Speaker 2: purchase her a long island ized tea. He bought the drink.
Speaker 2: He said he was there to contained alcohol. His mother
Speaker 2: and brothers were not with him at the time. Alcohol
Speaker 2: or not, you're not supposed to get drinks for other
Speaker 2: people at home thing. According to Kurran, the girl touched
Speaker 2: his chest and Summach used profanity and followed him to
Speaker 2: a hot tub where he lifted or like Shrek did
Speaker 2: when he rescued Princess Fiana from a dragon in one
Speaker 2: of his favorite movies. The girl's parents arrived. Okay, here's
Speaker 2: how they were discovered. The girl's parents arrived and her
Speaker 2: mother began screaming. Current said, ship personnel escorted Current to
Speaker 2: a security office, where he was asked to give a statement.
Speaker 2: He said, I have autism, and I was just trying
Speaker 2: to be nice. Apiro arrived during the questioning and said
Speaker 2: Current off an apology to the girl's parents. Current said
Speaker 2: he asked for patients and repeated what his mother taught
Speaker 2: him to say about having autism. When he encountered difficulty
Speaker 2: explaining he was given ninety minutes to pack and.
Speaker 3: Leave this ship.
Speaker 2: It was just so shameful, and they said they treated
Speaker 2: him as a fully functioning adult, and then they walked
Speaker 2: them off the ship.
Speaker 3: After that, she accepted an apology.
Speaker 2: For real Caribbean at She's asking for twenty thousand dollars,
Speaker 2: as I said earlier, for the expenses and the cruise.
Speaker 3: She just it seems like just asking for this. She's
Speaker 3: not suing at the moment.
Speaker 2: She's yeah, she's asking for twenty grand, and then the
Speaker 2: story is out there that she's done these interviews for
Speaker 2: Stacy Sherman, a spokesperson for Autism in New Jersey, declined
Speaker 2: to comment about the specific incident. Yeah, well, of course,
Speaker 2: so you wouldn't want to comment about this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you don't know.
Speaker 2: You don't know enough about what happened with this guy
Speaker 2: in this hot tub with this teenage girl. And I
Speaker 2: can tell you if I was the parents of the
Speaker 2: teenage girl, I would be very upset. I'd be like,
Speaker 2: there is a grown ass man in the hot tub
Speaker 2: with my teenage daughter and he purchased a Long Island
Speaker 2: iced tea for her. Now, to be absolutely clear, I
Speaker 2: would also be very upset with my daughter. I would
Speaker 2: be very upset with her too. But the situation doesn't
Speaker 2: look good, and I think generally speaking for these kind
Speaker 2: of accusations, they have a zero tolerance policy, it seems like,
Speaker 2: and they just boot you right off, even if it's Christmas,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It does sound like she was trying to flirt her
Speaker 1: away into this drink. But you know what, if we're
Speaker 1: taking their side of the story as.
Speaker 3: Fact, well, all we have is their side right now.
Speaker 3: So yeah, we were going off of what we heard.
Speaker 2: He is suggesting that she seems like she was rubbing
Speaker 2: up on him and flirting and like, hey, can you
Speaker 2: get me a Long Island iced tea?
Speaker 1: Now, what's this about alcohol or not? You can't buy
Speaker 1: other people drinks on a cruise ship.
Speaker 3: I don't think you're supposed to. I think it's only
Speaker 3: I think that's only if you have the drink package. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well if yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: In most cases, if I don't know if it's more
Speaker 2: likely than not if a person has a drink package.
Speaker 2: But if you have a drink package, I don't think
Speaker 2: you're supposed to share someone else.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but sometimes it happens without someone getting kicked off
Speaker 4: the ship.
Speaker 2: And the kicking off the ship would not be for buying,
Speaker 2: for getting a drink on your drink pass and giving
Speaker 2: it to somebody else. It would be for the fact
Speaker 2: that that person was underage. And you shouldn't be giving
Speaker 2: anybody that you don't know an alcoholic beverage because you
Speaker 2: don't know if they're old enough to drink it or not.
Speaker 3: That's a no go area.
Speaker 2: And then the touching of this teenage girl in the
Speaker 2: hot tub. And maybe we'll hear more about this, but
Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll see what will keep our eyes open.
Speaker 2: I'll look on the wires, We'll see if we get
Speaker 2: any updates and share them with you. It's weird of
Speaker 2: us your thoughts over at tips at the News, junky
Speaker 2: dot commerce and a dispatch.
Speaker 3: In the meantime. It's weird the way he describes this.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's trying to convey that he
Speaker 1: didn't know how old she was, but he made sure
Speaker 1: to say like she proceeded to touch his chest and
Speaker 1: stomach and used profanity about you teenagers. Don't use profanity.
Speaker 1: You do have to change your lens on the thing.
Speaker 2: Because if this guy is legitimately autistic and has you know,
Speaker 2: is disabled, is like we're coming out from the perspective
Speaker 2: of I would expect him to do things differently. That
Speaker 2: does not mean you get to touch other people. That
Speaker 2: does not mean you get a free pass to give
Speaker 2: underage people alcohol.
Speaker 3: No, no, it doesn't mean any of those things.
Speaker 2: But it does complicate the scenario, which is why it's
Speaker 2: an interesting story, at least to me. So check that
Speaker 2: out and sending your feedback over at the Newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: The super Bowl halftime show drama is boiling over.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, oh boy. And I guess now.
Speaker 2: They said, Roger Goodell, who's the uh is he the
Speaker 2: commissioner commission big guy headhunt show over there at the
Speaker 2: NFL that place, he's addressing some concerns about super Bowl
Speaker 2: halftime performer Bad Bunny. I don't if he's addressing concerns
Speaker 2: about Green Day too, but certainly he's been asking and
Speaker 2: answering questions about Bad Bunny performing at the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: And they did a press conference. So let's let's see
Speaker 2: what he said. Let's say what we can learn about.
Speaker 3: Your second question.
Speaker 5: I think everybody and want to listen bed Ben he
Speaker 5: was is and I think that was demonstrated last night.
Speaker 12: One of the great arsts in the world. He said
Speaker 12: that weird. It's a bad Bunny weird. I think he said, Benny.
Speaker 12: I think this was a flex. This is Roger going, oh,
Speaker 12: you know me and Bennie. But he's my pal, Benny.
Speaker 12: You know, he's I know him well.
Speaker 5: Second question, I think everybody and wanna listen bed Ben
Speaker 5: he was Yeah, he said, Benny. I think that was
Speaker 5: demonstrated last night. One of the great arsts in the world,
Speaker 5: and that's one of the reasons to be chosen. But
Speaker 5: the other reason is he understood the platform he was
Speaker 5: on and that this was this platform is used to
Speaker 5: unite people and to be able to bring people together
Speaker 5: with their goods and to be able to use this
Speaker 5: moment to do that. And I think artists in the
Speaker 5: past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands it,
Speaker 5: and I think you have a great.
Speaker 3: Performance, say Bad Bunny, weird.
Speaker 2: He's saying that you are supposed to unite people with
Speaker 2: your super Bowl performance, not divide them. We're supposed to unite,
Speaker 2: not divide, and Bad Bunny understands this. But I don't
Speaker 2: know if he really does, or what's going to happen or.
Speaker 1: I think Roger Goodell likes eyes and ears and he
Speaker 1: knows he's getting them. And I think having Bad Bunny
Speaker 1: win Album of the Year US literal week before the
Speaker 1: super Bowl and making statements like he did is just
Speaker 1: perfect for the exposure for the buzz around the halftime show,
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 4: Think Bad Bunny, unless I'm completely wrong, but is going
Speaker 4: to make this a controversial performance the intention of just
Speaker 4: putting on a good show. I imagine Spanish is the
Speaker 4: big controversy.
Speaker 3: It seems no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, we've already had super Bowl halftime
Speaker 2: performers that are Spanish.
Speaker 3: It's not it's not that the English.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's a performance that's not even in
Speaker 2: the majority language of the country where the super Bowl
Speaker 2: is happening, and people who are watching, the vast majority
Speaker 2: of them aren't gonna understand what the hell this guy
Speaker 2: singing about. They're not gonna know that is different, that
Speaker 2: is different this time around, and I think that's what
Speaker 2: people might be reacting to.
Speaker 3: I also just don't really.
Speaker 2: Care about Bad Bunny personally, but I think that if
Speaker 2: you look at his other performances and and at the Grammys,
Speaker 2: I think he I think he said something about ice
Speaker 2: during his during his speech or whatever. I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2: I think he did go up there and say something
Speaker 2: about ice. And I don't know what he's going to
Speaker 2: do during this performance, but Roger assures everybody that he's
Speaker 2: going to unite people.
Speaker 3: He's going to bring people together.
Speaker 2: There's more about this that we need to go over
Speaker 2: because NFL players are weighing in and we'll see what
Speaker 2: they have to say. We also got students versus Ice,
Speaker 2: a rundown on all the latest Epstein stuff, all of
Speaker 2: the juice in that latest leak and release over there,
Speaker 2: and much more on a very busy share the Show Tuesday.
Speaker 3: When you spread the.
Speaker 2: Word about the News Junkie Radio show live stream and podcast,
Speaker 2: go over to the Neewsjunkie dot com slash share, follow
Speaker 2: along on all of our platforms. It's a great way
Speaker 2: to share the show today. All of that coming up
Speaker 2: next on The News Junkie. We'll get to your emails,
Speaker 2: your dispatches, and all the rest. I've got so many
Speaker 2: more things to get into, including a rundown on all
Speaker 2: the latest in the Epstein stuff.
Speaker 3: We'll see if there's anything worth mentioning over there.
Speaker 2: People are still pissed off in New York City about
Speaker 2: all the trash, but now I guess the sanitation people
Speaker 2: are responding and they're like, we're picking it up.
Speaker 3: We're doing our best out here. It's been snowing.
Speaker 2: People are panicking as if it's the first time there's
Speaker 2: been trash on the streets in New York City, it's
Speaker 2: got there's a place full of trash all the time.
Speaker 2: Why because you have Oh my god, let's say we're
Speaker 2: talking about Manhattan. How many how many acres is Manhattan?
Speaker 2: Somebody looked that up real quick. If you don't mind,
Speaker 2: how man how many acres? I want to do two things. One,
Speaker 2: how many acres is Manhattan? And how many people live
Speaker 2: in Manhattan? Because that's what the problem is. You're never
Speaker 2: going to escape this got acres?
Speaker 15: All right?
Speaker 3: How many acres?
Speaker 4: Fourteen six hundred acres?
Speaker 2: Okay, it's fourteen thousand, ay? And then how many people
Speaker 2: live in Manhattan is the other question. This is the
Speaker 2: trash problem explained in simple numbers.
Speaker 3: Actually seven million.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, almost two million people and fourteen thousand acres.
Speaker 2: These people are on top of each other, many of them,
Speaker 2: and they're in a very small, thin, skinny slice of
Speaker 2: New York.
Speaker 4: Seventy four thousand per square mile.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot.
Speaker 2: So you were going to create a lot of trash,
Speaker 2: more so than in virtually any other city in the
Speaker 2: United States of America.
Speaker 3: And then that trash has to go somewhere. But now
Speaker 3: they've filmed themselves. They're like, we're.
Speaker 1: Trying out here because people are pissed off, the city's filthy.
Speaker 3: Nobody will get the trash off the streets. I guess
Speaker 3: let me see here.
Speaker 1: I guess there's no audio in this, but they're throwing
Speaker 1: all of the trash into this truck. Here we go,
Speaker 1: we're getting it off the streets.
Speaker 2: I saw another dump truck on fire for some reason,
Speaker 2: like the back of the dump truck was all the
Speaker 2: trash was burning. Maybe that's a strategic move that they
Speaker 2: make from time to.
Speaker 1: Time, consolidates the trash a bit so they can fit
Speaker 1: more in there.
Speaker 3: Some people say it's Mom Donnie is the blame.
Speaker 2: They can't even keep the city clean, can't even keep
Speaker 2: the trash out of there when the snow is piling up.
Speaker 2: So some general concern from New Yorkers as the place
Speaker 2: gets a bit trashier, you might want to get used
Speaker 2: to that. Friends, buckle up, just more on the way.
Speaker 2: I'm sure we got a lot of emails coming in,
Speaker 2: and here is.
Speaker 3: Let's see. Oh one I wanted to talk about was.
Speaker 2: Tim who said, hey, love you all to tips at
Speaker 2: the news Junker dot com.
Speaker 3: But the meaning of.
Speaker 2: This is so hard to understand what this person was
Speaker 2: saying some of your emails. You really got to prove
Speaker 2: read a little bit. I'm going to read it as is.
Speaker 2: All right, you guys, tell me what this means. Hey, friends,
Speaker 2: still love y'all, but the meaning of wearing us of
Speaker 2: is a term of endearment. More time, Still love y'all,
Speaker 2: but the meaning of wearing us of is a term
Speaker 2: of endearment attached to the information. You requested about the
Speaker 2: Turning Point halftime super Bowl show. Yeah, we talked about that.
Speaker 2: We talked about the the programming going on for the
Speaker 2: the other super Bowl halftime show, which I think it
Speaker 2: still sounds like tittley wings.
Speaker 3: Kid Rock has sold a lot of albums.
Speaker 2: I would say tens of millions would be my guests
Speaker 2: kid Rock, But Bad Bunny has sold more albums, whether
Speaker 2: you like him or not, and he's got younger people
Speaker 2: a little more engaged, for sure than Kid Rock would
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. So I think the problem is
Speaker 2: just that I wish there was other television networks. It
Speaker 2: used to be the people at least tried, but now
Speaker 2: they all have given up really with the counter programming
Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl. They're like, we're just going to
Speaker 2: go into cruise control and we'll we understand that the
Speaker 2: super is going to get all the viewers for next Sunday,
Speaker 2: For this coming Sunday. I want there to be more competition.
Speaker 2: I want people to say, well, there's a big entertainment
Speaker 2: thing going on for the halftime over on another network.
Speaker 2: We'll have a different option for you, and we'll tell
Speaker 2: you about, Hey, here's what happened in the game. We'll
Speaker 2: have another halftime show for you. And I think that
Speaker 2: would be awesome. Competition. Competition tends to make things better.
Speaker 2: I think that indeed would make things better. So just
Speaker 2: my take on it. Your thoughts are welcome as well
Speaker 2: tips at the neewsjunkie dot com. All right, let's work
Speaker 2: in a dispatcher two because I haven't done any of
Speaker 2: those today. Here is Oregon Transplant talking about the cruise
Speaker 2: ship situation.
Speaker 3: A junkiees Happy Tuesday.
Speaker 4: A little bit of cruise ship lore for you.
Speaker 1: If you're an employee on this ship and you get fired,
Speaker 1: you do not get sent home.
Speaker 4: You were kicked off at whatever the nearest port is
Speaker 4: and you just have to deal with it.
Speaker 9: This does account for a part of Hawaii's homeless population,
Speaker 9: is for cruise ship employees.
Speaker 3: No, is that true? Hang on, let me ask Tjai.
Speaker 2: She's saying that people just get kicked off in the
Speaker 2: middle of the cruise and that is why there's more.
Speaker 3: Homeless people in Hawaii. Tnjai.
Speaker 2: Of Hawaii's homeless population, is any decent or significant amount
Speaker 2: of Hawaii's homeless population from people who are employed by
Speaker 2: cruise ships who were dumped off in Hawaii because they
Speaker 2: got fired during the cruise.
Speaker 3: Let's see.
Speaker 9: That's an interesting question, thank you. While there have been
Speaker 9: anecdotal reports of cruise ship employees being stranded, it's not
Speaker 9: a significant factor in Hawaii's overall homeless population. The majority
Speaker 9: of homelessness in Hawaii is due to factors like high
Speaker 9: living costs, lack of affordable housing, and economic challenges and
Speaker 9: createloment issues might contribute in isolated cases, but it's not
Speaker 9: a widespread cost.
Speaker 1: Makes sense is that, like some of these cruise ship
Speaker 1: jobs are not ones, especially if you're new to the
Speaker 1: game where you have a lot of money saved up.
Speaker 3: So if they drop your ass in Hawaii, it's not
Speaker 3: really cheap to get back.
Speaker 1: If you don't have the means because you've just been
Speaker 1: making it on your meager cruise ship.
Speaker 3: Job, you might be stuck there for a bit.
Speaker 2: I think the majority of these people are not Americans, though,
Speaker 2: So it would make sense if you had a bunch
Speaker 2: of American employees and then you fire them and they
Speaker 2: get stuck getting off in Hawaii, and now they're stuck
Speaker 2: in Hawaii.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the breakdown is.
Speaker 2: What's the breakdown of cruise ship employees being, especially in
Speaker 2: the service side, being American versus not America.
Speaker 1: It varies based on the cruise line. Yeah, because Royal
Speaker 1: Caribbean has a lot of Caribbean people that you know
Speaker 1: work the bars in the ships. And then you just
Speaker 1: went on Princess and you said there was a lot
Speaker 1: of yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, entire staff, the nicest people you've met in your life,
Speaker 2: and very hard workers.
Speaker 3: That's what they got to do.
Speaker 2: Like when they're operating a place is like cruises that
Speaker 2: go to Europe and France and stuff, they're not going
Speaker 2: to have French workers. French workers are the worst, they're
Speaker 2: the well, they're ruin everything. Go look at Disneyland, Disney World, Paris, Disneyland, Paris,
Speaker 2: whatever it is, go look at that.
Speaker 3: The French are the worst.
Speaker 2: They don't want to work for nothing, their garbage, their
Speaker 2: work culture sucks. And the Indians are like, we'll do it.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, we'll put the work in. We want to
Speaker 2: stack some money and bring our families out of poverty.
Speaker 2: And so they oftentimes a lot of these cruise lines
Speaker 2: will have these people who they're bringing in, and they're
Speaker 2: bringing them in from other countries, and yeah, I think
Speaker 2: they want to sometimes make them all from the same
Speaker 2: or similar nationality so they have good cohesion with each other.
Speaker 2: And I saw a lot of that on my cruise.
Speaker 2: But thank you for the dispatch, much much appreciated. Last
Speaker 2: one for now, Also about the cruise ship. Here's funny name.
Speaker 8: Hey guys, hay day hey with the cruise getting kicked
Speaker 8: off the cruise ship storytistic kid. It doesn't quite pertain
Speaker 8: to this, but it reminded me of a story the
Speaker 8: other day where somebody who had disabilities wasn't capable of
Speaker 8: doing something and pitched a bitch and complained that it
Speaker 8: wasn't inclusive. Not everybody gets to do everything. If you're
Speaker 8: a you know, quadriplegic, you don't get the ride roller.
Speaker 3: Coasters, not anymore.
Speaker 8: If you're five thousand pounds, you don't get to go skydive.
Speaker 1: And not everything is for everyone.
Speaker 8: And if you're so deficient because of your autism that
Speaker 8: you don't know not to buy sixteen year old girls drinks,
Speaker 8: maybe you don't get to go on cruises. Not everything
Speaker 8: has to be for everyone. We can't cater to everybody's
Speaker 8: individual specific needs.
Speaker 3: It just makes no sense to me.
Speaker 2: Thank you, funny name. I appreciate the dispatch. You can
Speaker 2: give yours as well. Record one at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 2: You'll see it right there on the main page. It
Speaker 2: record dispatch and you're on the show just like that,

Speaker 4: out loud. Bernie Sanders makes orgasm Machine. We got the
Speaker 4: numbers leading up to the big sports game this weekend,
Speaker 4: including how much we're betting and how little we know
Speaker 4: about that. Not so good Cottondiale plus Billie Eilish under
Speaker 4: fire for not putting her mansion where her mouth is.
Speaker 4: All that and so much more coming up on the next.
Speaker 3: Episode, and that is coming up next on the news Junkie.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to your emails, we'll get to
Speaker 2: your dispatches, we'll get to that the Epstein rundown. Did
Speaker 2: you miss anything? I mean, it's kind of stunning to
Speaker 2: be that no one extra has been arrested. Nobody has
Speaker 2: been arrested, nobody's been charged, no additional people. No matter
Speaker 2: what team you're connected to, everybody's yelling at everybody else.
Speaker 2: Nobody's been charged, no additional charge, No, not one, not
Speaker 2: a single one. But there's some decent and interesting drama
Speaker 2: in there, so we'll stir that up in just a bit.
Speaker 2: But right now it's time to get into it. Let's
Speaker 2: do the next step episode.
Speaker 3: Because there's a lot on TV and you can't possibly
Speaker 3: keep up with all of it, even though you should,
Speaker 3: because what else are you gonna talk about?

Speaker 3: That's what they call it. I've heard it.
Speaker 4: And on this eighteen years ago two thousand and eight,
Speaker 4: NASA beamed a song in two the universe. Hell yeah
Speaker 4: to Polari's exact that are known as what thirteen.
Speaker 3: Points polaris better known as some little dipper. No oh no,
Speaker 3: but you were the north star that is correct.
Speaker 4: Points for you now you can take away Sea Lion's
Speaker 4: points if you could tell me what song was beamed
Speaker 4: towards the North Star?
Speaker 3: Baby got back? That's Sir mix a Lot. I was
Speaker 3: gonna say Baby one more time, right, neither one of
Speaker 3: the best knighted people in all of music, Sir mix
Speaker 3: a Lot.
Speaker 4: It was the Beatles song Across the Universe getting Oh Okay.
Speaker 4: The unique broadcast celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the song
Speaker 4: and the forty fifth anniversary of NASA's Deep Space Network,
Speaker 4: which communicates with its distance probes, and the fiftieth anniversary
Speaker 4: of the Space Agency. Even at the speed of light,
Speaker 4: the signal would take four hundred and thirty one years
Speaker 4: to reach its destination, as hilarious is two point five
Speaker 4: quadrillion miles away from Earth.
Speaker 3: Still time for them to write us back. I just
Speaker 3: want to say flag on the field. What I said,
Speaker 3: the Little Dipper, and technically the North Star I believe
Speaker 3: is in the Little Dipper. So we verify right that
Speaker 3: it was pointed at the Little Dipper, because both would
Speaker 3: be correct, north Star and Little Dipper.
Speaker 4: We're going to go back to the tape and get
Speaker 4: confirmation from the first page on Google Search.
Speaker 3: I just want to put that on the record.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that, and let the record reflect that it
Speaker 4: is put there. Now let's go to a new record,
Speaker 4: because it's a big sports game time fellas. Yeah, sleeping, dreaming, bleeding, breathing,
Speaker 4: the big dance that is not basketball. Am I allowed
Speaker 4: to say that?
Speaker 3: Sure? Super Bowl? Yeah, it's only for ads of the stuff.
Speaker 4: Gotcha, Well, the bets are ready, are happening. I just
Speaker 4: want to let you know that Americans are legally betting
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of bukaroos. Americans will spend a record
Speaker 4: one point seventy six billion dollars really just legal Super
Speaker 4: Bowl bets.
Speaker 3: That's a lot. That's crazy.
Speaker 4: Think about under the table, too nasty. The American Gaming Association,
Speaker 4: no single event brings fans together like the Super Bowl
Speaker 4: and in parentheses makes us more money. And this record
Speaker 4: figures just how much Americans enjoy sports. Betting is part
Speaker 4: of the experience. They add, it's important to choose legal,
Speaker 4: regulated sports books.
Speaker 3: You like to do you like to behind the scenes.
Speaker 4: I want to. I want the risk of someone showing
Speaker 4: up to my front door with a.
Speaker 3: Bat, some dodgy man with a mustache. He's like takes
Speaker 3: his loss everything.
Speaker 4: It's like, no, I'll triple down right now, last second.
Speaker 4: He's wearing a fedora, Money gone, and I don't know
Speaker 4: if there's any bets when it comes to the Super
Speaker 4: Bowl halftime performers.
Speaker 3: There's got to be right. And his name bad Bad Bunny.
Speaker 4: Bad Bunny is right, and that makes you one of
Speaker 4: the six and ten Americans who know who bad Bunny is.
Speaker 4: According to a new pole, six and ten Americans know who?
Speaker 3: Do they know any song?
Speaker 14: Is this?
Speaker 3: That's my question.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they've heard sixty percent of Americans. I'm sure
Speaker 2: I've heard of Bad Bunny, But do they know a song?
Speaker 4: Great question, let's see. Let's dive into the show. He
Speaker 4: Sixty percent also say his performance it's good for Latino
Speaker 4: cultural representation. Hispan ex gen Z millennials have the most
Speaker 4: positive reaction to Bad Bunny, more likely to watch the
Speaker 4: halftime show because he's doing it. As for the theme
Speaker 4: of the show, twenty two percent think his best bet
Speaker 4: is to focus on the fun party atmosphere. Sure well,
Speaker 4: only five percent think he should explore political or social
Speaker 4: themes and those people we like to call s stirs.
Speaker 4: He would love to see it so ethnic and age
Speaker 4: groups Americans are more interested in watching Bad Bunny then
Speaker 4: turning point Usay's All American half time show. Even deerformers
Speaker 4: accor into this pool. A bunch of non American halftime
Speaker 4: performers that nobody ever complained about. Worth mentioning, we had
Speaker 4: sting you two Rolling Stones, Rihanna, Shakira, cold Play, Paul McCarty,
Speaker 4: Shania Twain is going to.
Speaker 3: They all had songs in English, The Who and the Weekend.
Speaker 1: Now we do have.
Speaker 4: A bit of an update on the big non super
Speaker 4: Bowl halftime performance, the All American Halftime Show as they
Speaker 4: are calling it. We've got a place to watch it,
Speaker 4: I think, okay, where according to Sinclair, all their digital
Speaker 4: stations charge a national news desk, are gonna stream then
Speaker 4: All American half time show. So the big middle finger
Speaker 4: to the advertisers or.
Speaker 3: Something on Sinclair local TV stations are going to play.
Speaker 4: And Sinclair was the involved in the Jimmy Kimmel stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a pretty big owner of the like
Speaker 3: local TV.
Speaker 4: Stations, twenty NBC stations around the country, NBC and Peacocker
Speaker 4: airing the also All American super Bowl halftime show featuring
Speaker 4: Bad Bunny in Green Day from California. Sinclair will try
Speaker 4: to lure audiences away to their own digital streams where
Speaker 4: Kid Rock is gonna BA with Duba all that around
Speaker 4: eight pm on Sunday, good Luck to every.
Speaker 1: Which is weird because Sinclair does own stations that are
Speaker 1: airing the super Bowl at that time.
Speaker 4: They're going to say, go to our digital platform.
Speaker 2: There's no way that they're going to like preempt their
Speaker 2: actual super Bowl Hot time performance because there's no a
Speaker 2: NBC would let them do that.
Speaker 3: I don't think they would be able to do that
Speaker 3: or NFL.
Speaker 4: Or costing controversy and see what happens forgiveness permission, maybe
Speaker 4: we shall see or should we bet right now and.
Speaker 3: For realness sue them out of existence.
Speaker 4: I think they do no betting, And while we're here
Speaker 4: talking about halftime performers.
Speaker 3: We get bat. I'm willing to bat. I bet that
Speaker 3: they do not.
Speaker 4: That they do not.
Speaker 2: I bet they do not interrupt NBC's performance on their
Speaker 2: stations to ara a different halftime performance and then go
Speaker 2: back to NBC coverage.
Speaker 3: I think that was a commercial.
Speaker 4: How about a commercial saying you want to see Kid
Speaker 4: Rock in the All American halftime show.
Speaker 2: Oh right now, now they they I wouldn't be blown
Speaker 2: away if they sold them an ad, even though they
Speaker 2: would be upset about that.
Speaker 3: But would they be able to afford one?
Speaker 4: This is where comes in.
Speaker 3: How m should I say? It was three three mil?
Speaker 3: No more than that? Right?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Nine mili?
Speaker 4: Super Bowl between three and nine mili, and feel good
Speaker 4: about my bet will be.
Speaker 3: Thirty dollars.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: About I think I said nine million dollars or something,
Speaker 2: but they're not showing it in any of these articles
Speaker 2: that I'm looking up. Seven millions for thirty seconds exists
Speaker 2: that a lot.
Speaker 4: Of inflation much Just a little bit more zeros on
Speaker 4: that number and you'll get the number that this group
Speaker 4: was paid for their entire music catalog.
Speaker 3: Oh that is perfect.
Speaker 4: Deeptones have sold most of their music rights to Warner
Speaker 4: Music Group, according to a new report. The deal took
Speaker 4: place sometime in the past two years, but nobody knew
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 3: They're changes such as my own Summer change, my own summer.
Speaker 1: Change, and the one where he goes job back, job back,
Speaker 1: Oh my own Yeah, yeah, so that's a good one.
Speaker 4: Exact money has not been revealed, but they're estimating anywhere
Speaker 4: from forty one million to seventy five million dollars.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, with my own summer and change and congratulations too
Speaker 4: many more successful music catalog sales or whatever on the
Speaker 4: boop Tube Coast to Coast Tuesday. Good luck Maverick, Celtics,
Speaker 4: Blazers and Suns to our special MLK Junior Beloved Community
Speaker 4: Awards on bt Star Search on Netflix, Mo Gilligan in
Speaker 4: the Moment on Netflix as well, and you can catch
Speaker 4: Mark Ruffalo and Cole Bear follow your dreams of me
Speaker 4: on Instagram at Sabrina Ambro most importantly say it with me.
Speaker 4: I'm Medican smoke.
Speaker 3: We thank you, Sabrina. I saw it's just a graveyard
Speaker 3: out there. There's a graveyard out there.
Speaker 2: At daytime TV, Kelly Clarkson said, Signinara.
Speaker 3: Suckers and Cherry Shepherd and Sherry Shepherd. Yeah, I'm ant of.
Speaker 2: Them, both of them saying yesterday Cherry Shepherd was the
Speaker 2: one who stepped in for Wendy Williams and has been
Speaker 2: doing the show in her place basically. And then Kelly
Speaker 2: Arkson has been doing her show for a while now
Speaker 2: and both done.
Speaker 3: Both said enough to up Jolly Clarkson says she wants
Speaker 3: to spend more time with her kids and stuff, and
Speaker 3: the message that she had released he said, she said,
Speaker 3: I've been fortunate to work with this crew. Not an
Speaker 3: easy decision.
Speaker 2: Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to
Speaker 2: prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this
Speaker 2: next chapter of our lives.
Speaker 4: As she said, so the show was a warm up
Speaker 4: guy for her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure.
Speaker 2: Look, Daytime TV is still printing money. There's a big
Speaker 2: audience of viewers for that.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know who they would bring over there, but
Speaker 2: I always thought she seemed kind of nice. She's less
Speaker 2: touchy than Drew Barrymore. Drew Barrymore is kind of weird.
Speaker 2: I like Drew Barrymore, don't get me wrong. I'll defend
Speaker 2: her and I like her, but I think that her
Speaker 2: emotional meter was turned up a little too high at
Speaker 2: some point in time, and she's a little a little
Speaker 2: bizarre as a result of that.
Speaker 3: But I do like her.
Speaker 2: She's still doing her thing. Kelly Clarkson zapped Sherry Shepherd. Wow,
Speaker 2: I'm gone out of here no more. We'll see if
Speaker 2: you have any reaction to that when we come back.
Speaker 1: Does it sound to you like Kelly Clarkson made this choice,
Speaker 1: because it doesn't sound to me like Sherry Shepherd did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Sherry Shepherd won. I got the vibe that
Speaker 3: they were just canceling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're staying canceled after four seasons, and I think
Speaker 1: I think Kelly's been on quite a bit longer, even
Speaker 1: though Sherry.
Speaker 2: What not bad though for Sherry Shepherd to step in
Speaker 2: when Wendy Williams, God only knows what happened there.
Speaker 3: But for four whole years, Yeah, it's not too bad.
Speaker 4: And that was, you know, in addition to a whole
Speaker 4: season of like is Wendy coming back? Okay, I'll be guessed.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm taking over the show. It was a
Speaker 4: long time that there was just rotating guests and then
Speaker 4: just Sherry Shepherd still Wendy show though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's it's not doing that anymore. Unfortunately, they say
Speaker 3: as of immediately Seiland or like at the end of
Speaker 3: the and the word did it say?
Speaker 1: Season four of Sherry will continue airing until the fall.
Speaker 3: Brutal, brutal stuff.
Speaker 2: Hey, I got a killer jury duty on deck in
Speaker 2: the next hour with some really amazing stories. Actually believe
Speaker 2: or not. I got this Michael Jackson story of new audio.
Speaker 2: I'll play it for you that we didn't get into
Speaker 2: yesterday on the show and the Epstein Rundown.
Speaker 3: We're gonna run it on down and we'll see what
Speaker 3: was in these files.
Speaker 2: There's some interesting little tidbits that I think people have
Speaker 2: been missing.
Speaker 3: What's going on. Will give you the full rundown that's
Speaker 3: coming up next on the News Junkie. Some pretty interesting
Speaker 3: stories on the way.
Speaker 2: But I want to do a rundown here because everybody's
Speaker 2: been talking about this latest dump of files and the
Speaker 2: whole Epstein thing. And please don't roll your eyes into
Speaker 2: the back of your head just yet. Okay, some of
Speaker 2: you are completely over this, but I've tried to see
Speaker 2: what we got.
Speaker 3: Is there anything juicy in this latest dumped? I don't
Speaker 3: know how could you be over this? I think I
Speaker 3: find some of it fascinating.
Speaker 2: A lot of people aren't into it at all. A
Speaker 2: lot of people are like and you know why. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you why. I see Lane the reason why. I
Speaker 2: think a lot of people, not a majority by any means,
Speaker 2: but some growing audience of people is over the Epstein
Speaker 2: Files is because no one has been charged, nobody, not
Speaker 2: a single person, millions and millions of files. Everybody is
Speaker 2: like just so sure that their op is the worst
Speaker 2: person in the world because they were in a couple
Speaker 2: of these emails or whatever. And nobody, not one Republican,
Speaker 2: not one Democrat, no, not one person has been charged
Speaker 2: with anything that has been released in all of these
Speaker 2: files out there.
Speaker 4: You have Julane obviously in jail, and then Prince Andrew
Speaker 4: has not been criminally charged, but has seen a significan
Speaker 4: and fallout considerable.
Speaker 2: Oh, he has had a reputational damage on the level
Speaker 2: of Nagasaki, Like he's the guy is forever reputation damaged
Speaker 2: because he was really close in proximity to Epstein. Prince
Speaker 2: Andrew was like top of the list, is weirdo, creepo
Speaker 2: got Here's what I got for you. The rundown on
Speaker 2: the latest of the Epstein files. Victims are upset. They're
Speaker 2: complaining of getting death threats as to some of the
Speaker 2: files were released without redactions, the songs.
Speaker 1: That there were some files that were released without redactions
Speaker 1: and some nude photos.
Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, I've got some of that.
Speaker 2: I'll share you in a second here in the rundown,
Speaker 2: I think the rundown's not going to include nude photos?
Speaker 3: What the hell you hell you're thinking?
Speaker 14: Man?
Speaker 1: I you know, I thought this was going to be
Speaker 1: one of your lesser rundowns. No, this is as always
Speaker 1: fully charged.
Speaker 2: The Justice Department said Monday it had withdrawn thousands of
Speaker 2: documents in media related to disgrace financier Jeffrey Epstein, after
Speaker 2: lawyers complained to a New York judge that the wives
Speaker 2: of nearly one hundred vis have been turned upside down.
Speaker 2: You've got the like the Tuggle war between people who
Speaker 2: are like, where.
Speaker 6: Are they at?
Speaker 3: Man? Who is all the distraction? Released all the files?
Speaker 2: And then you release the files and you didn't take
Speaker 2: enough time to scrub somebody's name out somewhere. And the
Speaker 2: battle between those two is leading to these people getting
Speaker 2: caught in the middle. The exposed materials included nude photos
Speaker 2: showing the faces of the potential victims, as well as names,
Speaker 2: email addresses, and other identifying information that was either unredacted
Speaker 2: or not fully obscured.
Speaker 3: What are the victims said?
Speaker 2: This whole thing was life threatening, which is again very
Speaker 2: weird because you have a lot of times the media
Speaker 2: will trot out these Epstein victims that are like, release.
Speaker 3: Them all, now, release them all this second.
Speaker 1: I'm not very curious as to how these people are
Speaker 1: already getting death threats, because how do you even get
Speaker 1: through that many of the files to find the names.
Speaker 4: It's like one point five million documents something.
Speaker 3: Like, Yeah, it's more than that total. I mean, there's
Speaker 3: so many files that have been really.
Speaker 2: And as I said, he if they released all these files,
Speaker 2: sometimes we'll see a PDF of a thousand pages, but
Speaker 2: it's just every email the guy got, and it's newsletters,
Speaker 2: and it's like so much nothingness within those there's some
Speaker 2: interesting things and I'll give you more of those in
Speaker 2: a moment in the files. More from Prince Andrew, who
Speaker 2: Sabrina mentioned earlier. More from Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York,
Speaker 2: who's made a public apology for letting Jeffrey Epstein pay
Speaker 2: off some of her debts.
Speaker 3: He picked up the tab on some things that she owed.
Speaker 3: The billionaire.
Speaker 2: Tesla founder Elon Musk turns up a few times in
Speaker 2: these emails in twenty twelve and twenty thirteen, where he
Speaker 2: discussed going to Epstein's infamous island. He did not ever
Speaker 2: go there, according to Musk and everybody else you wanted to.
Speaker 3: The Clinton say he did not go.
Speaker 2: The Clinton say they did not go there either. Despite
Speaker 2: the push on that front, Richard Branson had some exchanges
Speaker 2: with Epstein. Ranson invited Epstein to his own private Caribbean islands.
Speaker 3: So I've seen what you got.
Speaker 1: Come over where I am. Is there any time you're
Speaker 1: in the area. Would love to see you, as long
Speaker 1: as you bring your harem. Branson telling him to bring
Speaker 1: his harem, which is a collection of whores. If I'm correct,
Speaker 1: it was the definition of harem is it Does it
Speaker 1: have to be whores?
Speaker 3: I thought that's what I thought. It was a collection
Speaker 3: of warmer.
Speaker 4: Times, separate part of a Muslim household for wives, concubines
Speaker 4: and females concubines.
Speaker 3: The concubine is another word for like a well, I
Speaker 3: don't know if it has to be a hooker, like
Speaker 3: a four.
Speaker 4: The man that has lower status than his wife or wives.
Speaker 2: Okay, there's your concubine. That's from usually I think from
Speaker 2: Japanese culture. That's right, friends, you heard it here first.
Speaker 2: I was talking about the country of Japan. Japan, Donald's
Speaker 2: from the Latin roots to that, at least that that
Speaker 2: word what to concubine. Yeah, oh, I know it most
Speaker 2: from Japanese culture where they'll talk about concubines, but I'm
Speaker 2: sure it's in other ones as well. I guess Donald
Speaker 2: Trump was also in the files here, and he was
Speaker 2: friends with Epstein. They were palm beachers before they had
Speaker 2: a falling out, and then they appeared to hate each
Speaker 2: other afterwards. The new troph of documents contained thousands of
Speaker 2: references to Trump, much of which shed's little additional life
Speaker 2: on their relationship. They included emails in which Epstein and
Speaker 2: others shared news articles about him. So when this is
Speaker 2: the thing that people do, they everybody lies about so
Speaker 2: much stuff. There's so much lying going on that I
Speaker 2: hate it. So, for instance, before I get into what's happening,
Speaker 2: here a comparison the number of mass shootings in the
Speaker 2: United States of America, which, by the way, I think
Speaker 2: has dropped in the last couple of years. Good, let's
Speaker 2: look at us and go let's put down some worse
Speaker 2: numbers on that one if we can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's let's see what let's see we can't even
Speaker 3: make them worse than this.
Speaker 2: But the the numbers of mass shootings and the States
Speaker 2: of America aren't already very impressive in the worst way.
Speaker 2: Number people tend to think of school shootings and horrible
Speaker 2: targeted attacks on public places as these mass shootings. When
Speaker 2: activists get involved, they try to make things even seem
Speaker 2: even worse than they are. This is the case with
Speaker 2: almost all forms of activism, climate activism and all the rest.
Speaker 2: And they'll start to include things that no one in
Speaker 2: the world thinks of as a mass shooting. A drive
Speaker 2: by shooting is not the thought of many people to
Speaker 2: be a mass shooting, and they'll inflate the numbers. The
Speaker 2: same thing is done with a lot of the people
Speaker 2: in the Epstein files. People will go Bill Clinton was
Speaker 2: mentioned four twenty two times. Trump has mentioned two hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety eight times. I have no idea what the
Speaker 2: numbers are. I'm just making these up, But they'll say
Speaker 2: the person was mentioned that many times. It could just
Speaker 2: be a whole bunch of articles in emails that have
Speaker 2: nothing to do with anything. But you know, we go
Speaker 2: back to the thing that Seelane said. Now, it's at
Speaker 2: the point where if your name's in there. You're just
Speaker 2: your name is much. As a result, Bill Clinton spent
Speaker 2: time with Epstein in about two decades ago, including flying
Speaker 2: occasionally on his private jet and scene at the White House.
Speaker 2: Clinton also denied any knowledge of Epstein's wrongdoing. Stephen Tish,
Speaker 2: the New York Giants co owner, has mentioned four hundred
Speaker 2: times in the files. In a twenty thirteen exchange, the
Speaker 2: New York Giants co owner had the subject line Ukrainian girl,
Speaker 2: and Epstein encouraged Tish to contact a particular woman who's
Speaker 2: physically physical beauty he praised in crude terms pro or civilian. Tish,
Speaker 2: the owner of the co owner of the New York Giants,
Speaker 2: asked in a reply which I'm sure as asking whether
Speaker 2: or not this person was a prostitute. Brett Ratner, the
Speaker 2: person behind the Milannia Trump documentary that's out in theaters
Speaker 2: right now, he's actually responded about his involvement. He says
Speaker 2: the woman that he's pictured with was his former fiance
Speaker 2: and that he had never had any communication before or
Speaker 2: after that with Epstein, seeing that she was the one
Speaker 2: who knew him and they got invited there. That's his
Speaker 2: side of that Casey Wasserman president of the twenty eight
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, exchanged flirty
Speaker 2: emails with Glain Maxwell, who Barack the form former Israeli
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Larry Summers, Clinton's former Secretary of the Treasury
Speaker 2: Howard Lutnick, who Lutnik. Lutnik was a Commerce Commerce secretary
Speaker 2: under President Trump. Sergey Brinn, the former Google co founder billionaire,
Speaker 2: had made some plans to meet with Epstein and Maxwell
Speaker 2: at his townhouse.
Speaker 3: A lot of the celebrities go by there. Steve Bannon
Speaker 3: and this is the big one for me.
Speaker 2: Steve Bannon and Michael Wolf are These are two like,
Speaker 2: not politicians, These are two people in media punditry, two journalists,
Speaker 2: you might say, loosely, two journalists that were huge, huge
Speaker 2: confidants with Epstein after they knew of all the things
Speaker 2: that he was doing. Steve Bannon exchanged tons of text
Speaker 2: messages with Epstein, some just months before his arrest in
Speaker 2: jailhouse suicide. Steve Bannon was in very close contact with Epstein,
Speaker 2: as was Michael Wolf the journalist. And that dude is
Speaker 2: still making videos today like he's suffering no reputational harm
Speaker 2: as a result.
Speaker 3: Of this.
Speaker 2: I think I have him in the mix here somewhere.
Speaker 2: I'll see if I can bring that up, because he
Speaker 2: was here. Here's Trump talking about the files.
Speaker 3: Let's see it.
Speaker 15: And no, he made a statement about me and Jeffrey
Speaker 15: Epstein's I have nothing to do with that.
Speaker 3: I have nothing to do with Jeffrey epsin.
Speaker 15: And in fact, if you look at the DOJ they announced,
Speaker 15: you know, they released three median pages is all they're
Speaker 15: supposed to be doing. And frankly, the DOJ I think
Speaker 15: should just say we have other things to do, because
Speaker 15: that whole thing started out, I mean other than Bill
Speaker 15: Clinton and you know, Bill gateson lots of people that
Speaker 15: have there are a lot of questions about it, but
Speaker 15: nothing on me.
Speaker 2: That it's not worthwhile because all it uncovered was a
Speaker 2: lot of other people doing this to everybody but me.
Speaker 2: M yeah, it seems a little weird. The Gates thing
Speaker 2: had there was a weird part of that.
Speaker 3: It's Bill Gates. Yeah, it seemed like they're uh.
Speaker 1: Like Epstein was like kind of upset at the at
Speaker 1: their their breakup, him and the old gatester.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like.
Speaker 2: Epstein was putting stuff in his emails about Bill Gates
Speaker 2: that wasn't even legit. I don't know for sure, but
Speaker 2: he was saying, like Bill Gates reached out to him
Speaker 2: to try to get medicine for the woman that Bill
Speaker 2: Gates gave an STD, or his wife got an STD
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 1: Or he got an STD from like a Russian girl
Speaker 1: or something. And a lot of this was like Epstein
Speaker 1: sending emails to himself and I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: what to believe what not to believe on some of
Speaker 1: these fronts.
Speaker 2: Here's Michael Wolf, the journalist I mentioned who's in this NonStop,
Speaker 2: and he just keeps trying to reframe all of it,
Speaker 2: even though he was offering pr advice, public relations advice
Speaker 2: to Epstein, even after all these horrible things came out
Speaker 2: and it was well known that this stuff was going on.
Speaker 17: For a while, learning and found that Donald Trump had
Speaker 17: threatened to sue me again. I think this is the
Speaker 17: third or possibly fourth time the President of the United
Speaker 17: States has threatened to sue me. Apparently, he was asked
Speaker 17: about his reaction to the three million pages of Epstein
Speaker 17: files that had been released, and his response was that, well,
Speaker 17: he was going to sue Wolf, a writer, because I
Speaker 17: had conspired with Epstein to frame him, I think was
Speaker 17: his point.
Speaker 3: And yes, I tried to encourage Jeffrey.
Speaker 17: Epstein in any way. I knew how to come forward
Speaker 17: with what he knew about Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: Right, He's a really softball in this.
Speaker 2: Here he is in a lot of back and forth
Speaker 2: with Jeffrey Epstein, this Michael Wolfe journalist guy about how
Speaker 2: he could like revive his career and stuff. And he's
Speaker 2: not alone in the journalist's front the CBS guy.
Speaker 3: Did that guy get fired or what? Zealand?
Speaker 2: Is it just like because they're likes the CBS journalists.
Speaker 2: All the stories were like he's going to be fired,
Speaker 2: He's about to be fired. And he apologized the CBS
Speaker 2: journalist Peter Attia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, he says he's ashamed after the emails
Speaker 1: became public. Well, it was like, dude, you were emailing
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein in twenty fifteen, so I think it was
Speaker 1: pretty well known some of the stuff that he had
Speaker 1: been involved with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, quite a bit.
Speaker 3: And you're making jokes about yeah, as a being low carb. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Has the first day this week the removal was not
Speaker 4: yet official finalized.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this says a battle is broken out between Paramount
Speaker 2: Corporate and CBS News cheap Barry Weiss over cutting ties
Speaker 2: with new contributor Peter Adia. That's the guy who was
Speaker 2: in all these emails, and he wrote this super long thing.
Speaker 2: In one twenty fifteen email, this CBS journalist said the
Speaker 2: worst part about being your friend to Epstein is that
Speaker 2: the life you lead is so outrageous and I can't
Speaker 2: tell a soul. In another twenty sixteen email, the CBS
Speaker 2: journalist joked about a diet with Epstein by saying the
Speaker 2: P word is indeed low carb. Still awaiting results on
Speaker 2: gluten though, so he was. He emailed him over a
Speaker 2: thousand times, I guess, and this guy is now an
Speaker 2: employee over at CBS News and is hanging on by
Speaker 2: a thread. Anything else, let me just see again. Go
Speaker 2: to jmail jmail dot world. That's a really good source
Speaker 2: to kind of sift through these. It looks like it's
Speaker 2: a Gmail account and you can and see all of
Speaker 2: the files in there. TMZ said, the first look at
Speaker 2: the trove of porn seized by the Feds, and are
Speaker 2: these the people who said that they were naked in
Speaker 2: the files? These are all censored, but uh, Okay, I
Speaker 2: don't know. Is this just like he saved some adult
Speaker 2: images from the internet porn? Oh no, no, no, he's
Speaker 2: in that one though. Yeah that's him there, Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: him with the naked.
Speaker 4: Person the one above with that like very pink couch
Speaker 4: or yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: That and that looks like from some you know, adult website,
Speaker 2: a bunch of women fully censored a bunch of stuff
Speaker 2: like he just got from different adult websites.
Speaker 3: But he was in at least that one.
Speaker 2: Here's an ex hamster video, So I guess these were
Speaker 2: in the release and some of the people who are
Speaker 2: complaining were uncensored in these photos.
Speaker 3: However, it only looks like.
Speaker 2: One of them actually included him as well. And then
Speaker 2: to this, sky News said as a response to a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of people online said, I think it was
Speaker 2: a response to their own post, said Prime Minister Sir Carr.
Speaker 2: Starmer has responded to the latest release of the Epstein file,
Speaker 2: saying the convicted sex defender's victims should be the priority,
Speaker 2: and sky New says being mentioned in the Epstein files
Speaker 2: is not a sign of wrongdoing. That post got thirty
Speaker 2: four million views and people were just roasting them. People
Speaker 2: really believe it doesn't matter if your name is in this,
Speaker 2: you must be a bad guy, which was tough. I'm
Speaker 2: sure on John Stewart and on Jay Z and push
Speaker 2: A T and all the other people who ended up
Speaker 2: in these files somewhere, and it just was a huge
Speaker 2: net because it's like every email.
Speaker 3: Ever.
Speaker 2: The Clintons have agreed that they're going to testify in
Speaker 2: the coming weeks and we'll see what's going on with them.
Speaker 3: Some of the stuff though, just to wrap it up,
Speaker 3: was Prince Andrew.
Speaker 2: The video are the photos of him over some person
Speaker 2: on the floor, which was soon super weird. That was
Speaker 2: one of the weirder things that came out. It's like
Speaker 2: him and some person is laying on the ground. He's
Speaker 2: like touching all over this person. And then did you
Speaker 2: see Epstein chasing the person around to no, let me see.
Speaker 4: In the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like little girls Epstein kitchen. Let me see
Speaker 2: if I can bring this up. This one was one
Speaker 2: of the weirder things. Okay, I think this is it
Speaker 2: right here, dancing with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a different one.
Speaker 17: Okay, this is just.
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein dancing with some person. I got to get
Speaker 2: the one where he's in the kitchen chasing them around
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 7: This is weird.
Speaker 3: He's on the they're all blocked out, so I can't tell.
Speaker 2: There's two persons that are blocked out and he's chasing
Speaker 2: them around the kitchen.
Speaker 3: Epstein's chasing them around the kitchen island.
Speaker 4: Well, thanks, tell me what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know who. It's just weird. It's just
Speaker 3: very strange.
Speaker 2: Just like you got a guy who's so well known
Speaker 2: to be a predator at this point and he's chasing
Speaker 2: what sounds like young girls around the kitchen island in
Speaker 2: his kitchen. So again, I think there is a level
Speaker 2: of frustration, and there should be. Not Not a single
Speaker 2: person has been arrested post the release of all of this.
Speaker 2: So many people were mentioned, including Democrat Stacey Plaskett. She's
Speaker 2: absolutely her head should roll over this. Stacey Plasket, the Democrat,
Speaker 2: was taking text messages from Jeffrey Epstein as there was
Speaker 2: testimony going on allegedly in Congress, and he was suggesting
Speaker 2: questions for her to ask to the people who were testifying.
Speaker 2: All of it is rubbish, it's gross, it's disgusting, But
Speaker 2: nobody's been arrested, and that's.
Speaker 3: The weirdest thing. That's the thing I think that stands
Speaker 3: out to a lot of people. So all right, well,
Speaker 3: I'll see what you think.
Speaker 2: About this and everything else I said, as I said,
Speaker 2: a packed jury duty on the way, including a story
Speaker 2: that absolutely blew my mind.
Speaker 3: We'll get to that all momentarily. The Michael Jackson new tidbit,
Speaker 3: new audio on Michael Jackson that is coming up next
Speaker 3: in the news, Chunky Sea Lane.
Speaker 1: How is the word universe taking this rule change that's
Speaker 1: been pushed Out's a better question for Sabrina. She's the
Speaker 1: one that plays more often.
Speaker 3: I know you played this game. You play Sabrino every
Speaker 3: single day.
Speaker 4: I believe I just hit my one hundred and fortieth
Speaker 4: day in a row.
Speaker 3: Thank you, And they changed one of the big rules.
Speaker 4: I did not notice a rule change.
Speaker 3: Oh really, yeah, what happened.
Speaker 2: They said the editors of the New York Times Games.
Speaker 2: I've announced that old word solutions, which were previously retired
Speaker 2: after every game, are now added back into the pool
Speaker 2: of possible answers. Oh, which I didn't even know that
Speaker 2: was a thing. So that I guess once you uncovered.
Speaker 1: A word some point, you're gonna run out of five
Speaker 1: letter words and you want to Yeah, people keep using
Speaker 1: this thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I've played twelve hundred eighty two games. Oh
Speaker 4: my god, Current Streak one forty two. Also Jack Bradshaw's
Speaker 4: in on it. But I believe when I go to
Speaker 4: send my score to somebody, yeah, it's word number one thousand,
Speaker 4: six hundred.
Speaker 3: And ninety's that's of all of it, of all of it.
Speaker 4: So now they're reusing words, which makes sense.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are some people who like write it down,
Speaker 4: who have actual like books of what word is used
Speaker 4: in strategy, and I'm more just six o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 4: trying to wake up, get my brain going. First word
Speaker 4: I think of kind of go.
Speaker 2: I think they probably weren't thinking this far down the road.
Speaker 2: They were like, well, plenty of five letter words will
Speaker 2: be able to do even win.
Speaker 1: That one guy, Matt Wardle or whatever his name was,
Speaker 1: coded the website just for fun.
Speaker 3: Wow, what a thing man, that guy. He made this
Speaker 3: game up.
Speaker 2: It became immensely popular very quickly, and with ceiling maybe
Speaker 2: you could find this. I'm not sure if this is
Speaker 2: something that we could get the details on. What was
Speaker 2: the time between when he created Wordle and when he
Speaker 2: got a payoff.
Speaker 3: From the New York Times. I don't think it is long, Okay,
Speaker 3: it was released. It lists publishers.
Speaker 1: Josh Josh Wardle, I said Matt I was wrong Josh
Speaker 1: Wardle twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two, and this
Speaker 1: was October of twenty twenty one. By twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: it was published by the New York Times Games, I
Speaker 1: would say less than a year acquisition by the New
Speaker 1: York Times company. On January thirty first of twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: the New York Times, the parent of New York Times,
Speaker 1: acquired Wordle from Wardle. That's fun to read for an
Speaker 1: undisclosed price in the low seven figures, so over a
Speaker 1: million dollars.
Speaker 3: Wow, So he got over a mill.
Speaker 2: He had it up and running for less than a year,
Speaker 2: and the New York Times scooped it up and they just.
Speaker 3: They weren't planning on it to go this long, so
Speaker 3: they've made a change.
Speaker 1: He started it in twenty thirteen with an early prototype,
Speaker 1: and he initially called it mister Bugs Wordy Nugs, And
Speaker 1: then he forgot about it for a while, and then
Speaker 1: I think he got bored during the pandemic and finished it.
Speaker 1: In retrospect, that was a good name change. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could New York Times mister Nugs,
Speaker 1: funny Wugs.
Speaker 3: What was it, mister bugs, wordy Nugs, mister Bugs, wordy Nugs.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it would have been as successful.
Speaker 3: I just don't. I think it's a fun name. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's something. It's something.
Speaker 2: Updates on Savannah Guthrie from the Today Show her missing mother.
Speaker 2: This investigation is tearing wide open. The latest details of
Speaker 2: a couple hours ago. The story says that the biological
Speaker 2: DNA which was at the home of Savannah Guthrie's mom
Speaker 2: has now been submitted to local laboratories for testing. According
Speaker 2: to the sheriffs, she hasn't been seen since January thirty first,
Speaker 2: she's eighty four years old. She left without her medication,
Speaker 2: and a sheriff says there was biological DNA evidence at
Speaker 2: the home.
Speaker 3: What does that mean? You know?
Speaker 2: We heard blood, right, we heard that there was blood
Speaker 2: that was on the scene. Potentially it could mean other
Speaker 2: things too, God forbid. But a sheriff says that that
Speaker 2: biological DNA that was discovered is now being tested and
Speaker 2: they continue to say that the home was a crime scene.
Speaker 2: She has not been seen since nine to thirty pm,
Speaker 2: and they believe she was abducted in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night unwillingly from her bed. They do not know
Speaker 2: exactly what's going on with this, but they took what
Speaker 2: they believe is biological DNA type evidence.
Speaker 1: I think they're about to have a press conference on this,
Speaker 1: are they. I'd like to I'd like to tune into
Speaker 1: that if we can. I'll see if I could find it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's not on CNN right now. But Fox
Speaker 1: News is waiting for this to happen because they said
Speaker 1: they were like really throwing together a press conference that
Speaker 1: was supposed to be right about now, and because another
Speaker 1: tidbit that they gave alongside the biological DNA part was
Speaker 1: that I think they looked through because one of the
Speaker 1: things they found at the crime scene that kind of
Speaker 1: alluded to it possibly being a crime scene was that
Speaker 1: there her phone and Apple Watch were still at the house, Okay,
Speaker 1: and I guess they accessed the phone and found that
Speaker 1: her pacemaker stopped sinking with her Apple Watch before dawn
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Okay, Okay, So that's when they were separated.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, it doesn't mean that heart.
Speaker 2: No, but it does show you the extent of her
Speaker 2: health situation and basically the technological.
Speaker 1: Equivalent of the phone or Apple watch saying hey, that's
Speaker 1: the last time I saw her.
Speaker 3: All right, let's see if we can find a stream
Speaker 3: on that. I'm seeing a lot of other you do. Okay,
Speaker 3: is it something you can send to me?
Speaker 2: Send it to me if it's live, and we'll keep
Speaker 2: this up. It's not happening now though, it's just like
Speaker 2: they're all getting ready, but.
Speaker 4: It is the live feed and yeah, it sart the
Speaker 4: Sheriff's department.
Speaker 2: Oh perfect, Yeah, this is it. This is the raw
Speaker 2: live feed from Wink News. I did it, and they're
Speaker 2: not going yet. But when they do have this press
Speaker 2: conference about the news anchor Savannah Guthrie is missing mother
Speaker 2: and the big mystery around this, we will take that.
Speaker 2: Even if it happens during the break, I'll pause it
Speaker 2: so we can listen to the majority of what's going
Speaker 2: on with this story.
Speaker 3: Here's what we know so far.
Speaker 2: If you guys have been kind of tuning in or
Speaker 2: tuning out. Savannah Guthrie is one of the hosts of
Speaker 2: the Today show someone abducted her mother a couple of
Speaker 2: days ago. She has been obviously so concerned about this
Speaker 2: that she's pulled out of all of the Olympics coverage
Speaker 2: and everything else. The Sheriff's office, when they talk about this,
Speaker 2: seem almost scared and hesitant to share some of the details.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that means that they're shocking or
Speaker 2: if they're worried about that giving up too much information.
Speaker 2: They've said they're looking at sexual offenders I think they
Speaker 2: had said specifically in the area. They say they're testing
Speaker 2: this DNA. Does that mean there was some kind of
Speaker 2: evidence that a sexual attack took place and that's the
Speaker 2: DNA they're testing, or is the DNA blood we literally
Speaker 2: it's unclear, but this all looks very bad.
Speaker 3: There's a.
Speaker 1: A bounty out there, I guess I should say, for
Speaker 1: what two thousand, five.
Speaker 3: Hundred dollars twenty five a reward.
Speaker 2: Of up to twenty five hundred dollars, which again seems
Speaker 2: incredibly low.
Speaker 3: But that all is out there right now on the line,
Speaker 3: and what we're going to do is keep on this.
Speaker 2: The Pima County Sheriff's Department will have a presser about
Speaker 2: this if it happens during the break, I'll stop it
Speaker 2: and we'll make sure you get to hear everything that
Speaker 2: goes down in jury Duty. Also, I have some jaw
Speaker 2: dropping stories in jury duty that not a lot of
Speaker 2: people are mentioning that.
Speaker 3: Are going down in courtrooms.
Speaker 1: One about the uber driver that was shot just I
Speaker 1: think it's one of the most interesting stories of the year.
Speaker 2: So we'll have that as well. It's all coming up
Speaker 2: next in the News Junkie. Savannah Guthrie is the co host,
Speaker 2: one of the main hosts of the Today Show, and
Speaker 2: her mom has been abducted in a very very confusing
Speaker 2: set of circumstances here, and so we want to see
Speaker 2: what's happening to this press conference to get these additional details.
Speaker 2: In fact, let's do that. I got some wild stories
Speaker 2: for jury duty, So let's get into it. Let's do
Speaker 2: jury duty or it.
Speaker 17: Is now in session, and so put your phone down
Speaker 17: and pay attention before we call the bailiff over to
Speaker 17: with your ass your knowing Jury duty with the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: Surrey Duty brought to you by the one the only
Speaker 2: modiate of the DeWitt Law Firm. Injured on the go,
Speaker 2: Just Calmo eight hundred, Calmo eight hundred CALLMO or go
Speaker 2: to just Callmo dot com. If you are in an accident,
Speaker 2: reach out to Moses DeWitt. He is there to help
Speaker 2: you and he will assist in whatever way he can.
Speaker 2: And in terms of going after the insurance companies, this
Speaker 2: is your guy. Eight hundred CALLMO eight hundred, CALLMO, or
Speaker 2: go to just Callmo dot com. All right, press conference
Speaker 2: for the missing mother of a news anchor from the
Speaker 2: Today Show. Here is the sheriff and they're they're talking
Speaker 2: about what happened here. Maybe we'll get some new bombshells
Speaker 2: on this to you.
Speaker 7: Right here.
Speaker 11: He is sometimes I'm speaking in generalities, and I'm not
Speaker 11: used to everybody hanging on to my words and then
Speaker 11: trying to hold me accountable.
Speaker 2: This is the sheriff, very loud, but I can turn
Speaker 2: them up if we need too.
Speaker 7: So we're going to try our best.
Speaker 3: We turn him up a little bit.
Speaker 7: Sync with you in the future. And also more important
Speaker 7: for you to understand is we have a lot of
Speaker 7: work in front of us.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 7: We have a job to do and we have someone's
Speaker 7: life who is at in jeopardy.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so job number one is we got to find her,
Speaker 11: and we gotta work hard to do that. I understand
Speaker 11: there's great attention on this, and rightfully so, and I
Speaker 11: appreciate it, and I thank you for it because it
Speaker 11: has generated a lot of leads for us, and so
Speaker 11: we're tracking those leads and we're doing things with evidence
Speaker 11: that you would expect us to be doing.
Speaker 2: All right, now, he brings up somebody else to discuss
Speaker 2: whatever new leads are coming in, So let's listen in
Speaker 2: here's important.
Speaker 6: We are aggressively pursuing and looking into every single one.
Speaker 1: Again, please help us bring Nancy Guthrie home.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Oh that was a short statement. Questions, we'll
Speaker 3: take some questions. Yeah, let's go there.
Speaker 5: Indication so far as to whether this was a random
Speaker 5: abduction or.
Speaker 3: Market random or targeted.
Speaker 11: It's like I said earlier, you know, we're looking at
Speaker 11: all the leads and well, we don't know. We're going
Speaker 11: to we're going to assume both sides of that, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he gives me the vibes of like a
Speaker 3: real small town sheriff, so he doesn't have a lot
Speaker 3: of experience with a massive case like this, and something.
Speaker 4: Earlier right before he said, we'll take questions where it's like, uh,
Speaker 4: we'll get your questions. I know you have a lot
Speaker 4: of them, but then I'm gonna leave because we have
Speaker 4: a lot of work to do and we're gonna be
Speaker 4: doing this for the next couple of days. He's kind
Speaker 4: of an next couple of days gives me the vibe
Speaker 4: that they've got nothing.
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like it, but maybe give some up
Speaker 3: we or well, was she wearing.
Speaker 1: Any identifiable information that the public could use to.
Speaker 11: Help with those?
Speaker 3: We do not great.
Speaker 7: I just no clue it could have been one. It
Speaker 7: could have been there.
Speaker 4: From getting concerned sheriff, Is there someone else can these questions?
Speaker 3: Wait? You got you guys want many know answers on
Speaker 3: this stuff. I don't know. I don't know what the
Speaker 3: hell is going on. Is there any education that any education?
Speaker 3: She's alive, still her medication? We hope, we all we hope,
Speaker 3: we hope. We are looking for somebody still on I.
Speaker 11: Why do you believe? Well, we have crime in Tucson
Speaker 11: all the time, right like any city, and so there
Speaker 11: when you say a threat to the public, is there
Speaker 11: somebody out there who's kidnapping elderly people.
Speaker 7: In the middle of the night every night. We've not
Speaker 7: heard that. We don't believe that's the case.
Speaker 11: We by believe Thatancy was taken from a home against
Speaker 11: her wheel.
Speaker 7: And that's where we're at when you reference.
Speaker 1: Violence at the site, your elaborate on that.
Speaker 3: And also, yeah, what do you got any valuables.
Speaker 18: Taking any bag or ATM cars used after it is spend?
Speaker 7: We don't. We're not getting into that. What I tell
Speaker 7: you is, like any crime scene, we processed this crime scene.
Speaker 11: We gathered all the evidence we could to include looking
Speaker 11: for what fingerprints, DNA, camera images, everything you can imagine,
Speaker 11: and we gathered that out. Those things have been submitted
Speaker 11: forward to labs, to technological companies to help us.
Speaker 7: We're like you, we're waiting for those returns to come back.
Speaker 4: The window of time when she was last seeing too
Speaker 4: as she was reported missing.
Speaker 3: And I know you guys are asking what's the window
Speaker 3: of time. He's asking me to.
Speaker 1: Narrow down what time you might feel like, I know
Speaker 1: there was a report about a.
Speaker 3: Pacemaker, That's what Celi was talking about. In the morning,
Speaker 3: is or any way.
Speaker 1: To indicate people they looked around one am or two
Speaker 1: am to help them your question?
Speaker 11: You know, I really don't want to get into narrowing
Speaker 11: down the time because narrowing it down means we can
Speaker 11: miss some.
Speaker 7: Tips and leads.
Speaker 11: We're working with the data we've submitted or investigative analysis
Speaker 11: guys on that time can be tightened up, but.
Speaker 7: For now, we're going with what we've told you earlier.
Speaker 4: I don't know if before thirty.
Speaker 7: And she was found to be missing at about eleven
Speaker 7: o'clock Sunday morning.
Speaker 2: All right, it doesn't seem to have much more at
Speaker 2: this press conference. A lot of good questions coming in,
Speaker 2: but he's like, well, I don't know the.
Speaker 4: Only one he was up there still that small town
Speaker 4: that they have not called in.
Speaker 2: Well, there was the other officer, but that other officer
Speaker 2: did not have much to say, Like I think he
Speaker 2: said two sentences and then he was out of there
Speaker 2: after that. And now this the sheriff is up there
Speaker 2: just kind of doing these questions and answer sessions at
Speaker 2: this event. But there's not a lot, like he's not
Speaker 2: really on a lot. So we'll keep an eye on that.
Speaker 2: We'll see if there's anything else interesting that ekes its
Speaker 2: way out of that. Also, one of the big stories
Speaker 2: about courtrooms and stuff today is that Jill Biden Jill Biden,
Speaker 2: former First Lady in the United States of America, her
Speaker 2: ex husband has been charged with murdering his wife, says
Speaker 2: Jill Biden's ex husband has been charged with first degree
Speaker 2: murder in the death of his wife. William Stevenson was
Speaker 2: indicted on Monday in Wilmington, Delaware.
Speaker 3: Police responded, this is her.
Speaker 2: This is Jill Biden with this guy now, the husband
Speaker 2: who allegedly married his or murdered his new wife after
Speaker 2: Jill Biden.
Speaker 3: Joe Biden married.
Speaker 2: This guy back in the seventies, Back in nineteen seventy four,
Speaker 2: they separated and went through a nasty divorce at the time,
Speaker 2: and then Joe Biden married Jill Biden. A couple of
Speaker 2: years later, in nineteen seventy seven, there was a nine
Speaker 2: oneman call out to the house and they believe that
Speaker 2: this guy killed his wife. This person who was the
Speaker 2: former husband of Joe Biden. They believe he was responsible
Speaker 2: for murdering his wife, which is very very strange. Other
Speaker 2: things and this, let's put this on the mo list ceiling.
Speaker 2: I find this would be so interesting. A Brooklyn, New
Speaker 2: York judge has just ruled that something very different will
Speaker 2: be done with a jury that will decide the fate
Speaker 2: of a man who plotted to assassinate Donald Trump. This
Speaker 2: person they believe has ties to Iran. His name is
Speaker 2: as If Merchant and he's a forty six year old.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The defendant is a forty six year old Pakistani man
Speaker 2: who's accused of trying to hire a hitman as part
Speaker 2: of a multi phase plot culminating in September of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four, possibly with a shooting at a public political rally.
Speaker 2: The guy is charged with murder for hire and attempted
Speaker 2: terrorism charges. They think he's connected to the Iranians, but
Speaker 2: the potential jurors are so scared they are going to
Speaker 2: allow the jury to be completely and totally anonymous, which
Speaker 2: is not something that they generally do. So I'd love
Speaker 2: to hear this because they think that, like they think
Speaker 2: the people who are worried if we find him guilty,
Speaker 2: will the country of Iran come after us? And so
Speaker 2: they're going to let the jury be completely anonymous. So
Speaker 2: let's put that on the list. From moh, that's a
Speaker 2: very weird one.
Speaker 4: How do you so not get a leak though?
Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean, you have to worry about
Speaker 3: a lot of.
Speaker 4: The public, or you have to ensure every single person,
Speaker 4: even your bailiff or court reporter, is also sworn to
Speaker 4: complete secrets.
Speaker 3: Are we talking anonymous after the fact? Are we talking
Speaker 3: like because.
Speaker 1: I mean, a jury is not The names of the
Speaker 1: jurors are not public until you know, sometime after a
Speaker 1: major trial like this.
Speaker 3: Here's the suspect.
Speaker 2: He is this this guy ACEF Merchant, the Pakistani man
Speaker 2: who was plotting to carry out assassinations on US soil,
Speaker 2: wanted to.
Speaker 3: Get a hit man. Again.
Speaker 2: I guess this never really got off the ground. But
Speaker 2: now they say they want this to be fully anonymous,
Speaker 2: and the judge says federal prosecutors requested an anonymous jury
Speaker 2: in part because the legitimate concerns that jurors in this
Speaker 2: trial will fear that an associated defendant will target them
Speaker 2: during the high profile case. On Thursday, District Court Judge
Speaker 2: Eric Committee agreed, saying that even though prosecutors may not
Speaker 2: present his ties to Iran to the jury, given the
Speaker 2: nature of the charges and the current tensions with Iran,
Speaker 2: anonymity will serve to protect the judicial process. So I
Speaker 2: don't know exactly how they're going to handle this, but
Speaker 2: that will be something else, maybe that MO wouldn't know it.
Speaker 2: You're supposed to be able to face a jury of
Speaker 2: your own peers, and then sometimes they make those people's
Speaker 2: names public and sometimes they don't sure and in his
Speaker 2: case fully anonymous, and maybe, like, is the jury that
Speaker 2: I would assume not even physically in the courtroom. Oh, like,
Speaker 2: I would assume that these people are not even physically there,
Speaker 2: because that would pose a bit of a risk there.
Speaker 3: So all right, we'll see. We'll get some updates on that,
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 2: I have the other uber driver story that was absolutely
Speaker 2: mind blowing that we'll work in in the Power Hour
Speaker 2: of the show, and the reason why a mother got arrested.
Speaker 2: We have a ton to work in and a short
Speaker 2: amount of time, and we'll get it all done in
Speaker 2: the Power hour, and that is coming up next on
Speaker 2: the news junk Kie. Wow, this is happening fast.
Speaker 3: That press conference did not go well, No, no, and
Speaker 3: Sabrino wasn't alone and saying like, is this good?
Speaker 2: Like the reaction that I've seen so far is is
Speaker 2: is sheriff on the case of Savannah Guthrie from the
Speaker 2: Today Show her missing mother.
Speaker 3: People are saying is this guy ready for prime time? Like?
Speaker 2: Does this guy have any idea of what he's doing?
Speaker 2: He seems incredibly like the way I phrase it, and
Speaker 2: I know this is so cheesy and I hesitate to
Speaker 2: even say this, but he has no riz like no
Speaker 2: rizz of a sheriff. You know, I don't know a
Speaker 2: better way to say, like he doesn't have the persona
Speaker 2: or he doesn't have like the presentation of a sheriff
Speaker 2: in the command of the press conference that I'm used.
Speaker 4: To, not in that faction, not in the press conference
Speaker 4: that is national news because it's a public facing person's mother.
Speaker 4: Do you think now if you do like a small
Speaker 4: town like, Oh, Georgie, he bropped the convenience store again,
Speaker 4: I bet he kicks a mask. But this has to
Speaker 4: be the highest profile case that town is seen.
Speaker 2: I would guess a smaller town in Pma County is
Speaker 2: where this guy is the sheriff in Arizona.
Speaker 3: I have two questions to consider here.
Speaker 1: Okay, First of all, do you think that you know
Speaker 1: when we look at this guy as a sheriff and
Speaker 1: we know the sheriffs that we're used to, especially in
Speaker 1: our neck of the woods, you know your Grady judds
Speaker 1: your chitwoods. You're you're ones that loved the camera, that
Speaker 1: love a good SoundBite. You think they're watching this guy going, oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, our giant poster board printer please.
Speaker 2: Ryan on YouTube said sheriff freshman here. Ryan says, you
Speaker 2: could say swagger. That's that's just like this guy doesn't
Speaker 2: have the swagger of a sheriff. Who and and and
Speaker 2: the command most importantly over what's going on there? He
Speaker 2: started the press conference out like not close to the
Speaker 2: microphone and himself.
Speaker 4: I assume with something what is I guess maybe it's
Speaker 4: going to be more high profile as we go on,
Speaker 4: but like four or five other people behind him that
Speaker 4: is involved in the case, So we're like, it sounds
Speaker 4: like this place you go to send blood work and
Speaker 4: you get the results four months later.
Speaker 7: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: My second question is do you go do you think
Speaker 1: that this would already be on our radar? Was it
Speaker 1: not linked to a person of note?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 1: No, not at all, especially I mean, especially with the
Speaker 1: way it's being conducted.
Speaker 3: But like close though, if it were just a random eighty.
Speaker 1: Something year old missing woman that was missing under suspicious circumstances,
Speaker 1: you think it would have taken a couple more days
Speaker 1: for it to hit your desk.
Speaker 2: Yes, a couple more days, But I think it still
Speaker 2: had potential because a missing older lady who was snatched
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night is an interesting story.
Speaker 2: I think I think it would have eventually probably pulled
Speaker 2: up a little more prominence. But now it's got the
Speaker 2: Today's Show edge to it. And let's go back to
Speaker 2: the end of this, because we didn't hear the end
Speaker 2: of the press conference. I guess the guy just I
Speaker 2: guess at some point he said they hadn't even reviewed
Speaker 2: security footage DNA.
Speaker 11: I'll puts anything and all of this so quiet and
Speaker 11: submitted to a lab. That lab will report back to
Speaker 11: us what they find so far that what we've found
Speaker 11: from that lab is nothing that would tell us this
Speaker 11: is who did this.
Speaker 3: We'll take a couple more questions and then walk through
Speaker 3: the evidence. Walk through the evidence. It's see.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think this is the part he's talking about
Speaker 2: the surveillance footage, And somebody said, has he not even
Speaker 2: watched the surveillance footage yet?
Speaker 1: Companies, why you do not.
Speaker 7: Have That's what I tell them, how come I don't
Speaker 7: have this? Where's my evidence.
Speaker 11: It is a process, and I'm sorry, but but you know,
Speaker 11: we're grateful that there's large corporations and companies who have
Speaker 11: leaned over, bent over backwards to help us to say, hey, sheriff.
Speaker 3: Tell us what you mean and and and so, yeah,
Speaker 3: he hasn't even seen it.
Speaker 7: And we've asked them. They know the urgency here, but
Speaker 7: I'm like, you, how what do you mean? I don't
Speaker 7: know that now. Yeah, it's it's.
Speaker 3: So weird.
Speaker 1: Last question, you're asked if there was any ransom, and
Speaker 1: you didn't.
Speaker 3: Say, last question, following all leads?
Speaker 12: I mean a ransom has come in.
Speaker 7: We're following all leads we have. That's all I can
Speaker 7: tell you.
Speaker 3: We get We've got hundreds of why is any answering
Speaker 3: that question?
Speaker 2: You know, if they asked you directly two times, has
Speaker 2: there been a ransom that has come in? And he says,
Speaker 2: we're following all leads, and then they go, you didn't
Speaker 2: answer that. He didn't say no, and he goes, we're
Speaker 2: following all leads that are coming in.
Speaker 3: A ransom is not a lead. No, I wouldn't say.
Speaker 2: Well, but being evasive on that does that give you
Speaker 2: the same feeling? It does mean that there is that
Speaker 2: they're asking for a ransom a little bit.
Speaker 3: That's what That's what I get.
Speaker 14: Like.
Speaker 2: Otherwise, if any missing person, any missing person out there,
Speaker 2: they said, is there any ransom? Does anybody asking for
Speaker 2: a ransom for this missing person? They would go, No,
Speaker 2: we have no credible evidence of anybody asking for a ransom.
Speaker 3: That's not part of our investigation. Not answering that very suspicious,
Speaker 3: very very suspicious.
Speaker 4: Maybe the way you answer it, because I imagine that
Speaker 4: even someone who has done this a million times and
Speaker 4: has an entire team, I don't know if answering that
Speaker 4: is productive. You answer that, and that opens up Pandora's
Speaker 4: box of like, who's doing it? What does the ransom say?
Speaker 4: Is it going to impede the investigation? Well, he answered
Speaker 4: it also not great because a lot of those questions
Speaker 4: are going to come up as well. But I don't
Speaker 4: know when it comes to getting a ransom. Note that
Speaker 4: they would mention that in a press conference.
Speaker 2: I think that if they had that information, Here's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Maybe I didn't get this across.
Speaker 2: I think that if there was no mention of a
Speaker 2: ransom note, no talk of this, no here anything from
Speaker 2: the people who may have abducted this woman. I don't
Speaker 2: think they would have hesitated to say, no, we haven't had.
Speaker 3: Any demand for ransom.
Speaker 2: I've never seen before a hesitation when there is no
Speaker 2: demand for ransom to answer that question. And when you
Speaker 2: do have a hesitation, I hesitate myself right now to
Speaker 2: put too much weight into it, because this guy's just
Speaker 2: kind of strange, and I don't know if he's just
Speaker 2: doing things because of different reasons or if he's not
Speaker 2: answering that question because there is indeed some sort of
Speaker 2: ransom demand. See what else he says, He's almost done it.
Speaker 11: And it's from you that produced those leads by telling
Speaker 11: people we need help, And I'm grateful for that, but
Speaker 11: I'm yeah, I'm not going to get at all that.
Speaker 11: We have a team designated with all of our needs.
Speaker 11: They're looking into all of that. We are sharing all
Speaker 11: of our leads with the FBI.
Speaker 13: They are helping us in evaluating nanosse this guy are
Speaker 13: where that priority should be, and so we're just look,
Speaker 13: I know you guys are doing your job, and you're
Speaker 13: doing a great job, but we have a job to
Speaker 13: you and have I really need to back away from
Speaker 13: this for a while.
Speaker 11: And we'll see you unless something breaks. Unless something breaks,
Speaker 11: we'll see you Thursday morning. Pio will give you a
Speaker 11: time frame. I'm guessing somewhere around eleven eleven thirty.
Speaker 3: I want to know what they called this press conference?
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know they even suggested you're doing the
Speaker 2: press conference?
Speaker 3: Is a great question. Yes.
Speaker 1: On the New York Post, the story that I read
Speaker 1: about the report that Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker stops sinking with
Speaker 1: her Apple device is pre dawn Sunday. It said, as
Speaker 1: Arizona cops leading the case hastily called a press conference, Well,
Speaker 1: you hastily called something like this because you've got something
Speaker 1: to report. I don't find that anything was reported during
Speaker 1: that press conference. We know nothing after it. Then we
Speaker 1: then we knew nothing more than we knew before now.
Speaker 2: And I'm no expert, I think you're kind of getna
Speaker 2: get the same thing here, seiling. Why throw a press
Speaker 2: conference if you don't have anything to say? Yeah, that
Speaker 2: to me is like the rule number one is say
Speaker 2: we don't have any new information for you right now. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: we don't need to throw a press conference just to
Speaker 2: throw a press conference.
Speaker 4: You think a lot of people showed up media.
Speaker 2: Wise, they did because they there was a scheduled press conference,
Speaker 2: That's what this whole thing was. But they they should
Speaker 2: have just said, we're not going to do anything until
Speaker 2: there's further developments in the case.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that accomplished. All very strange and interesting.
Speaker 1: So actually the only thing I did accomplish was like
Speaker 1: dropping people's expectation of.
Speaker 3: The sheriff here. Yeah, maybe he's a genius.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's doing seven D chests behind the scenes and
Speaker 2: we're going to find out who is responsible for all this.
Speaker 2: Maybe not, But I did want to share this with you.
Speaker 2: This was the story that I was teasing that didn't
Speaker 2: make it into jury duty.
Speaker 3: Today.
Speaker 2: Man tricked by scammers into fatally shooting a defenseless Uber
Speaker 2: driver six times has been sentenced.
Speaker 3: This was an old man, yeah, named William. Look at
Speaker 3: that gun. It is a very very interesting story.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you about what caused these two people
Speaker 2: to be in this situation with each other.
Speaker 3: Somebody you guys, remember I think this happened to you.
Speaker 3: Years ago.
Speaker 2: People used to spoof their numbers, and our phone numbers
Speaker 2: were readily available out there, so sometimes people would like
Speaker 2: maybe spoof Sea Lan's phone to call another phone.
Speaker 3: I don't even know if they've done that with.
Speaker 2: You two back and forth or whatever, but people would
Speaker 2: have phone numbers from the show and certainly like call
Speaker 2: Sea Land and stuff. Well, this guy, this old man,
Speaker 2: gets a call and the call that comes into his
Speaker 2: phone was placed by some internet scam person. The internet
Speaker 2: scam person said, you owe us money. I'm gonna send
Speaker 2: the courier to your house to pick up this money,
Speaker 2: and you give it to them, and I'll give you
Speaker 2: more details in a second.
Speaker 3: But that's just the basic part of it.
Speaker 2: On the other side, that same person then hired an
Speaker 2: uber to go pick up a thing with not a person,
Speaker 2: but I guess you can hire an uber, like can
Speaker 2: you pick somebody up.
Speaker 3: To deliver it?
Speaker 2: So the woman that you see was hired by the
Speaker 2: same person, and she shows up at this old man's
Speaker 2: house and she's like, I'm here for the package.
Speaker 3: And he's like, oh, you're here for the package.
Speaker 2: You're trying to get me to pay this money this
Speaker 2: scam And she's like all I know is I'm here
Speaker 2: for the package. And he's like, get over here, and
Speaker 2: he comes out with a revolver like an old pistol,
Speaker 2: and then the woman goes, I'm gonna leave. I'm just
Speaker 2: here for the package, and he goes, you get over,
Speaker 2: you tell me what I need to know, and he
Speaker 2: shot her.
Speaker 3: And she had nothing to do that. She had nothing
Speaker 3: to do with this. The story goes like this.
Speaker 2: An eighty three year old man in Ohio will likely
Speaker 2: spend the remainder of his days behind bars for killing
Speaker 2: a sixty one year old uber driver in front of
Speaker 2: his home, wrongly believing she was trying to rob him,
Speaker 2: when both the killer and his victim were actually duped
Speaker 2: by the phone scammers. Clark County Judge Douglas Restatter said
Speaker 2: William J. Brock is going to serve twenty one years
Speaker 2: to life in a state correctional facility. He was found
Speaker 2: guilty by a jury on all charges, including felony murder,
Speaker 2: felony assault and kidnapping, and the twenty twenty four fatal
Speaker 2: shooting of Lolitha Hall. Brock will serve fifteen years to
Speaker 2: live for the murder. The scammers behind the fatal encounter
Speaker 2: have never been identified.
Speaker 3: Both families lost loved ones because of this, and there
Speaker 3: are no winners here, said the prosecutor.
Speaker 4: Do you think those scammers even know that this happened.
Speaker 2: I think they were like listening in it, says as
Speaker 2: Long Crime previously reported. The fatal incident took place at
Speaker 2: the old Man's house. It was a eleven eighteen am
Speaker 2: on March twenty fifth, twenty twenty four. That morning, Hall,
Speaker 2: an Uber driver for more than a decade, accepted what
Speaker 2: she believed was a legitimate assignment from the ride share company,
Speaker 2: directing her to pick up a package for delivery at the.
Speaker 3: Old Man's home.
Speaker 2: Unbeknownst to Hall, the same person or people that directed
Speaker 2: her to Brock's home at also contacted Brock, threatening to
Speaker 2: kill his family unless he gave twelve thousand dollars cash
Speaker 2: to this woman. And they said the woman who's coming
Speaker 2: over will be you know, and they gave a description
Speaker 2: of the woman. Footage from a dash cam in her
Speaker 2: accurate shows her approaching Brock's home, getting out of her car,
Speaker 2: and engaging with Brock before attempting to leave the home,
Speaker 2: but Brock trailed her closely, pointing his twenty two caliber
Speaker 2: Revolver at her and at one point taking her phone
Speaker 2: away so she couldn't make any outcoming calls.
Speaker 3: Outgoing calls. He made no demands of Brock. Oh no, no.
Speaker 2: Hall made no demands of Brock and only asked him
Speaker 2: about the package. Rock started making demands about her identity.
Speaker 2: That's when he took her phone and refused to allow
Speaker 2: her to leave.
Speaker 3: He did not call nine one one.
Speaker 2: He was not until after the shooting, where he ends
Speaker 2: up scuffling with her and shooting her because he thought
Speaker 2: she was the bad guy. After the shooting, he called
Speaker 2: nine to one one. You could hear her in the
Speaker 2: back saying help me. And they finally said objectively, a
Speaker 2: reasonable person would not shoot a defenseless woman multiple times
Speaker 2: to protect themselves from the words of a scammer.
Speaker 3: That's the prosecutor.
Speaker 2: The act doesn't justify the act of taking another person's
Speaker 2: life because words scared him. Just a very interesting bizarre
Speaker 2: story there. And this guy now will spend the remainder
Speaker 2: of his days. William Brock, sixty, the eighty three year
Speaker 2: old man will spend the remainder of his days behind bars.
Speaker 3: I think strange, huh y. I don't know that.
Speaker 2: It's like a lot, yeah, because at a glance I
Speaker 2: view him both his victims in a way.
Speaker 3: But you can't do what he did. You cannot do that.
Speaker 3: He was confused.
Speaker 2: He thought this woman was the bad guy. He thought
Speaker 2: that they had kidnapped somebody in his family. He thought
Speaker 2: that they were trying to get money from him. But
Speaker 2: she didn't know anything about anything. She just thought she
Speaker 2: was picking up a package for an uber and ran
Speaker 2: into this guy with a gun who's very agitated.
Speaker 4: Wow, and communications, And we have no idea who was
Speaker 4: part of it.
Speaker 2: Nobody the idea that the person on booked an uber
Speaker 2: to pick something up, And they have no idea who
Speaker 2: the person or persons behind this actually were.
Speaker 3: That is very.
Speaker 4: Relocate some money to something like that versus I feel
Speaker 4: like a lot of money wasted in other places.
Speaker 2: I mean, I would have to guess that they have
Speaker 2: ips now on people making orders, on on Uber, on
Speaker 2: people requesting cars, on people requesting things be delivered.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you really should form of payment? Does
Speaker 4: that that way?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I would.
Speaker 1: I would hope that they would, at the very least
Speaker 1: if they would have that, at the very least they
Speaker 1: should have the address that the courier was supposed to take.
Speaker 1: This twelve thousand dollars too. Now likely if you're involved
Speaker 1: in this sort of criminal activity. That address is going
Speaker 1: to be some sort of safe house or some sort
Speaker 1: of drop house or something, you know, somehouse that has
Speaker 1: a for sale sign, you know, in the front yard.
Speaker 3: But they got to be close to it. Right.
Speaker 2: What it was doing is that couldn't have just been random.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have think I wouldn't have thought. Rather, I
Speaker 2: should say somebody, says. Kurt on YouTube says, correct, he's
Speaker 2: still at fault and clearly not thinking quite right.
Speaker 3: But that's how scammers work. They get you into an
Speaker 3: emotionally compromised state and they press that advantage.
Speaker 2: That's true. You know what was the camera's purpose, Well,
Speaker 2: it sounds like to get money. It sounds like to
Speaker 2: get money. Sometimes it's just sometimes it is. Yeah, sometimes
Speaker 2: thet land is just to cause chaos. I remember the
Speaker 2: famous video of the scammer calling the person and the well,
Speaker 2: the one that I remember is calling the person inside
Speaker 2: the hotel room and they said, this is the front desk,
Speaker 2: there's been a gas leak in your room. Oh, you
Speaker 2: need to throw your chair through the window right now,
Speaker 2: otherwise you're going to die because of the gas leak
Speaker 2: in your room.
Speaker 3: When you hear the person throwing the chair through the
Speaker 3: window of their room.
Speaker 4: Why did they do that completely naked?
Speaker 2: Or something to that was you might be crossing virus
Speaker 2: with the McDonald's one, the famous McDonald's one where somebody
Speaker 2: called and they were like, we're from McDonald's HQ security,
Speaker 2: bring in this employee. We just saw her steal something.
Speaker 2: And the person tells the manager on the phone, yeah,
Speaker 2: we saw her steal something on the footage we're watching,
Speaker 2: and he goes yeah, and they go, you need to
Speaker 2: strip her down.
Speaker 3: We need her to get totally naked.
Speaker 2: And the scammer was watching on the security footage as
Speaker 2: this employee stripped down naked, and the manager in that
Speaker 2: case got in trouble because they said he should have
Speaker 2: known that this wasn't normal and right, Sometimes it's just
Speaker 2: for chaos.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just for chaos. All right, quick break.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll do a grab bag segment
Speaker 2: of all the things I've teased that haven't I haven't
Speaker 2: gotten to at least thus far this week or in
Speaker 2: the show. And we got more of your dispatches and
Speaker 2: emails and all the rest, so I'll come it up next.
Speaker 1: Then use junkie Junkies. My wife and eighty two year
Speaker 1: old Dad.
Speaker 2: Ak says the tips of the news Junkie dot Com
Speaker 2: went to the outdoor game on Sunday night at Raymond
Speaker 2: James Stadium.
Speaker 3: It was awesome and temperatures were in the upper thirties.
Speaker 2: Jesus, my dad and I moved from Wisconsin in nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty four and both played hockey. I've not watched hockey
Speaker 2: outdoors since then, so it was very surreal for both
Speaker 2: of us. Plus it was in a football stadium in Florida,
Speaker 2: so all around super weird but fun. And he says,
Speaker 2: it was around sixty five thousand people. I'll tweet Shan
Speaker 2: a picture of our seats.
Speaker 3: We were way up there.
Speaker 2: You could follow the action pretty easily on the big screen.
Speaker 2: So he says, let's see if he tweeted at me,
Speaker 2: just so that you check.
Speaker 1: Man, I've got tickets to an outdoor hockey game in
Speaker 1: Florida and somehow it was still thirty degrees.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good god. I thought you'd get some kind of
Speaker 2: break from it. He didn't tweet me a picture. I
Speaker 2: haven't seen that yet, he said. With sixty five thousand people,
Speaker 2: and we watched the entire intermission with the cancer donation check.
Speaker 3: It went like this.
Speaker 2: So here's a controversy we talked about earlier. He says,
Speaker 2: it went like this guy comes out on ice to
Speaker 2: get a check of one hundred thousand dollars. Then as
Speaker 2: a surprise to him and everybody, Ronde Barber comes out
Speaker 2: on the carpet, grabs the mic and says, I have
Speaker 2: a surprise for you. If you make this shot through
Speaker 2: a nearly impossibly sized hole, we will increase the donation
Speaker 2: to five hundred thousand dollars. So the guy comes up
Speaker 2: there for the cancer you know bonus, and goes and
Speaker 2: he misses, and then Ronde Barbara says, hang on, we'll
Speaker 2: give you another try, and if you get it, you
Speaker 2: get a million dollars for the cancer charity.
Speaker 3: And he missed.
Speaker 2: The There was never going to be this million dollar donation.
Speaker 2: It was a surprise to give them the attempt to
Speaker 2: go for five hundred thousand and a million. And you know,
Speaker 2: the way those contests work is they have to buy
Speaker 2: insurance for the contest. They did not promise a million
Speaker 2: dollars up front, and then pull the rug out from
Speaker 2: under him. Keep up all the good work as always. Ak,
Speaker 2: that's interesting.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, but then don't put a million dollars
Speaker 4: on the screen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess the thing is like they
Speaker 2: went out there and they did a surprise. It wasn't
Speaker 2: they They wanted to donate this money to the cancer charity,
Speaker 2: and then they gave them a chance to bring it up.
Speaker 3: The only question is is it wrong to have a
Speaker 3: person play a game so that you increase your donation
Speaker 3: to a charity. I don't think so.
Speaker 4: I don't think so, But I also would it would
Speaker 4: be in their best interest to not get heat like
Speaker 4: this if they're like, we're going to give this money anyways,
Speaker 4: versus well, he missed the shot, so yeah, it would
Speaker 4: have been that much towarts cancer.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. Just up to chance and your way.
Speaker 1: Like there's there's plenty of charity events where you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, i'm gonna sweeten the pod the more you
Speaker 1: guys donate, I'm gonna match it and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: You know, or you know, we participate in a charity
Speaker 1: poker tournament, but uh, the way we play doesn't necessarily
Speaker 1: affect the outcome of the money that's raised, aside from
Speaker 1: if we suck at it off the bat and we
Speaker 1: want to buy in to stay in the game longer
Speaker 1: only positively, right, Yeah, yeah, it only makes it better,
Speaker 1: I guess, Andrew says the tips of the news junky
Speaker 1: dot com. Sean, I think you did a story on
Speaker 1: this Sunday Bonus stream about the lady that had her
Speaker 1: car covered in several inches of ice from a water
Speaker 1: main break.
Speaker 3: Didn't we play that on the show? The lady car
Speaker 3: was frozen?
Speaker 1: No, okay, we play we played the snowplow driver.
Speaker 3: Okay, let me let me bring this up, because the
Speaker 3: story was talking about was absolutely wild.
Speaker 4: Face.
Speaker 2: This poor woman, she leaves her car out by the
Speaker 2: side of the road and she thinks, well, all's going
Speaker 2: to be well here. But then I guess the water
Speaker 2: main broke by it and cars kept driving by and
Speaker 2: splashing water up onto the side of her car, and
Speaker 2: then her whole car was just like a car sickle. Basically, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is the woman's situation.
Speaker 7: This is her car. I have kept.
Speaker 2: She got the windshowevers up in the air. Her car
Speaker 2: is so frozen in a block. What I said, dir,
Speaker 2: yeah it does. And I said, what do you do
Speaker 2: if this is your car and you come back to it?
Speaker 3: It's it's a nice I think she posed a follow up.
Speaker 4: There's like, yeah, four of her friends.
Speaker 3: The email is about the follow up here.
Speaker 2: I think she's talking right here in a second, but
Speaker 2: this is beforehand.
Speaker 3: Hang on, this is her car totally froze.
Speaker 6: So like it is what it is.
Speaker 18: Gianna has an amazingly good attitude about her car now
Speaker 18: frozen under inches of ice in Northern Liberty's ane now
Speaker 18: on Monday.
Speaker 4: And I was driving on Tuesday, and then I left
Speaker 4: it in the same spot that I shoveled out.
Speaker 1: Gianna is a schoolteacher in Phillyan.
Speaker 18: While her Honda got the worst of it, a few
Speaker 18: other cars aren't going anywhere right now either. So lots
Speaker 18: of people assume water had dripped down from the l
Speaker 18: tracks above, but neighbors say no, it was a water main.
Speaker 3: Break that caused all this damage.
Speaker 18: They said the water ran down Front Street for a
Speaker 18: couple of days straight, and every time cars would go back,
Speaker 18: these cars got drilled or up onto these cars, just
Speaker 18: making layer after layer after layer of ice.
Speaker 3: Poor lady.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she got her car in this massive ice cube, essentially,
Speaker 2: And this emailer was following up on this. He goes,
Speaker 2: she was covered in ice from the water break. NBC
Speaker 2: ten Philadelphia did an update today because he's from Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3: Her car is now free of ice and was total.
Speaker 2: Well, the insurance company said they're probably totaling the car.
Speaker 3: Really why due to the damage done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's probably a lot of damage done to the internals.
Speaker 1: I mean, if that thick of a layer of ice
Speaker 1: is on the outside of the car, probably a lot
Speaker 1: of it inside that his frozen expanded, cracked, a lot
Speaker 1: of piping and all kinds of style.
Speaker 4: There's any any way to avoid that in the future.
Speaker 4: Obviously it was a pipe that broke, but some sort
Speaker 4: of protective layer that I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, the pipe flooded the road and then people
Speaker 2: were splashing through and it was just continuously, almost like
Speaker 2: basting a piece of meat in the pan. It just
Speaker 2: like continue to put layer upon layer on this lady's car.
Speaker 2: This is the report he's talking about.
Speaker 16: A sober car that went viral after the recent winter storm,
Speaker 16: you know the one. Today a toe company took the
Speaker 16: vehicle away. This is what the Honda Civic looked like,
Speaker 16: stuck in that spot on Front.
Speaker 3: Street in Fishtown. It's so frozen it's nice.
Speaker 16: New video tonight shows a toe crew removing the Honda
Speaker 16: Civic earlier today. The owner tells us, unfortunately, the car
Speaker 16: is most likely totaled.

Speaker 2: supposed to be a new audio of Michael Jackson.
Speaker 4: That's creepy, the inside story of the trial that shook
Speaker 4: the world.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I want to just touch me and hug me.
Speaker 3: He said, children want to just touch me and hug me.
Speaker 3: That's Michael Jackson.
Speaker 7: The things that.
Speaker 3: Michael reveals on those tapes have no precedent unreleased footage.
Speaker 3: I don't think it was meant for the public to see.
Speaker 2: I was told that if you say you're doing anything,
Speaker 2: you're going to kill your career.
Speaker 1: Jar the entire accusations against Michael I've seen some of those.
Speaker 12: Yeah, he could abuse with impew today's spelling.
Speaker 3: In love with my personality. Sometimes it gets me into trouble,
Speaker 3: he said.
Speaker 1: Kids end up falling in love with my personality. Sometimes

Speaker 1: Michael Jackson is still controversial on account of the kids stuff.
Speaker 3: And that's pictures a hymn with Epstein.
Speaker 1: Is he in there?

Speaker 2: That and also, federal officers in Minneapolis are to get
Speaker 2: body cameras effective immediately.
Speaker 3: Some of them did already, all of them will after this.
Speaker 3: That seems like a good idea.
Speaker 2: That seems like a smart idea for all of these
Speaker 2: officers to get body cameras so you can see what
Speaker 2: the hell is going on. All law enforcement, all of them,
Speaker 2: every last one should have body cameras. It's better for
Speaker 2: the law enforcement and it's better for the people who
Speaker 2: encounter them. Every single time. Cameras make nothing worse. They
Speaker 2: only make things better in terms of determining what the
Speaker 2: truth is in these scenarios.
Speaker 3: And with that, it's time to get the hell out
Speaker 3: of here. Let's do Today. I learned the.
Speaker 2: Following information may make you feel smarter, but will not
Speaker 2: actually increase your IQ.
Speaker 3: So don't get cocky. How it's done or what we
Speaker 3: call today.
Speaker 2: It is today learned for a Tuesday, February third, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. Today I learned this television show yea, Oh,
Speaker 2: south Park. That's right, South Park. This is an orchestral
Speaker 2: version south Park, Bigger, Longer, and uncut was supposed to
Speaker 2: be NC seventeen due to excessive profanity in the movie,
Speaker 2: with the word F the F word you being used
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty six times alone. The MPAA said
Speaker 2: that four hundred or more swear words would get them
Speaker 2: an NC seventeen rating.
Speaker 3: On the South Park movie ball Stone and.
Speaker 1: Tra Wall Street, that's five hundred and sixty nine curse.
Speaker 3: Words in it. Does that must have been afterwards? Is
Speaker 3: that after the South Park movie Timeless change it? It
Speaker 3: says so Matt Stone and Trey Parker cut the number
Speaker 3: from down to three hundred and ninety nine one less.
Speaker 1: Casino was nineteen ninety five, four hundred and twenty two
Speaker 1: curse words in it, and really I had to give
Speaker 1: it NC seventeen, but I think they took out some
Speaker 1: violence to get to the R. This says from the
Speaker 1: Wikipedia page about South Park, Bigger, Longer, uncut of this
Speaker 1: six times the film was screamed to the MPAA. It
Speaker 1: was designated NC seventeen after five screenings, the last of
Speaker 1: which was two weeks before the scheduled released Jesus, a
Speaker 1: marketing agent from Paramount called Parker and Stone and said
Speaker 1: the studio needed an R. In response, they contacted the producer.
Speaker 1: They said there was too many and they need to
Speaker 1: cut down to less than four hundred square words. Maybe
Speaker 1: the internally they thought that was the number. There were
Speaker 1: some other things that they had to cut out to there.
Speaker 1: There's a very funny letter that he had to write
Speaker 1: the MPAA people.
Speaker 4: Now they don't care, right because even has cursor.
Speaker 1: There's no there's no consistency watched. This film is not
Speaker 1: yet rated. It's a great documentary on the process of
Speaker 1: rating movies and how secretive it is and stupid at times.
Speaker 3: So they learned this.
Speaker 2: Guy that George Dmichael, that's right, Taylor In the police
Speaker 2: officer who arrested Oreorge Michael for sex acts in a
Speaker 2: bathroom sued George Michael for emotional distress. Beverly Hills police
Speaker 2: officer Marcelo Rodriguez filed a ten million dollar lawsuit against
Speaker 2: George Michael, complaining the singers single outside in its video
Speaker 2: mocked him. He also alleged that George Michael described him
Speaker 2: as waving his genitals in front of him and being
