Speaker 1: This never, never, never happens. Guys, what happened?
Speaker 2: I thought it might not happen today, because you know,
Speaker 2: it's a weird day. I'm hosting Sean's not here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I did some hacking. I did the got int
Speaker 2: attention to the.
Speaker 3: News junkie dot com mainframe.
Speaker 2: Right right through the main frame, hacked the Gibson, hacked
Speaker 2: the planet, and we got a last minute message friends.
Speaker 2: Right here, we got a last minute message from those
Speaker 2: poor people crammed into the tiny west Jet airplane seats.
Speaker 2: Let's see what they have to say.
Speaker 1: Wait, Friday.
Speaker 2: We made it through a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and
Speaker 2: just barely starting off a Friday.
Speaker 3: I'm excited. That was a good start. We got pretty
Speaker 3: good with that.
Speaker 2: You guys nailed it, Thank you very much. How's everybody
Speaker 2: doing on a Friday.
Speaker 4: At a party? How the heck are you?
Speaker 2: I'm good, deer in the headlights, watching the watching the
Speaker 2: watching the disclaimer play, and go oh, son of a bitch.
Speaker 2: I have fast fingers, but I cannot fix this in time.
Speaker 2: There's no way I'm getting that to that in time.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a strike of good luck. Everything
Speaker 3: only from here.
Speaker 2: It's almost it's just slightly worse than that week that
Speaker 2: we didn't have the Mortgage Guy Don jingle and we
Speaker 2: just had to make Sean sing it.
Speaker 1: Oh we just had you were gone.
Speaker 2: I think a couple of days I didn't have it
Speaker 2: at the ready and it wasn't in the law. And
Speaker 2: then so we just like Sean, this is a year up, buddy,
Speaker 2: this is it's your time to show. It is a
Speaker 2: catchy tune. How's everybody doing on a Friday, you guys? Good?
Speaker 3: Yeah, doing great.
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see what this Friday brings.
Speaker 3: But also the weekend.
Speaker 1: What's a big weekend plans for Sabrina and Josh look.
Speaker 3: Like, well, we got birthday celebrations, so we didn't mention
Speaker 3: it this week. But happy belated birthday to Fritzy Boy.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right, Chrits.
Speaker 5: Maybe if he would have showed up yesterday we could
Speaker 5: we could have celebrated.
Speaker 2: Well, he actually did show up on his birthday. He
Speaker 2: was kind of hanging around here.
Speaker 4: You could see him like just whizzing.
Speaker 2: Doing some paperwork, whizzing back and forth behind in the
Speaker 2: camera shots. I have birthday celebrations to tomorrow. Tomorrow is
Speaker 2: my mother's birthday.
Speaker 6: Oh my.
Speaker 2: Mamma Lane. And I'm not going to say how old
Speaker 2: she'll be because I don't want you. I don't want
Speaker 2: you guys to make fun of her.
Speaker 3: But are we still doing the age thing?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: No, it's great birthday.
Speaker 1: It's a good Yeah, it's a good birthday.
Speaker 2: And then and then no, no, all right, stop, let's
Speaker 2: get let's put our ears to the ground, our fingers
Speaker 2: on the pulse, and let's see what's happening in this great, big,
Speaker 2: wide world of ours. And we go to California, my friends, specifically,
Speaker 2: I believe Alta, Dina, California. Well, they said that this
Speaker 2: the subject of this video is very dissip pointed. And
Speaker 2: I don't know how you could tell if a giant
Speaker 2: black bear is disappointed, but nightmare fuel at this man's
Speaker 2: house in Altadena, because they they say a five hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty pound black bear had been living under the
Speaker 2: man's home in like a crawl space. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you guys have you guys had it. It's very
Speaker 2: much like frogging, just like bear frogging.
Speaker 4: I've got a crawl space.
Speaker 2: You have a crawl space? Say I had one when
Speaker 2: I lived downtown. But my current house is cross space
Speaker 2: free everything like it's more attic. Like you have a
Speaker 2: cross space when you don't have an attic, right? Or
Speaker 2: do some have both both?
Speaker 4: I feel because the area is prone to floods.
Speaker 1: Got it?
Speaker 2: Well, this guy had a crawl space and a five
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty pound bear made himself at home. Let
Speaker 2: me see, no one this looks fake. A month under
Speaker 2: an Altadena home is massive its bags and looking for
Speaker 2: a new place, is the kt It was only a month,
Speaker 2: so I don't think that's hibernation and not Lou Parker.
Speaker 7: That five hundred and fifty pound unwanted house guest is
Speaker 7: out the door, much to the relief of one happy
Speaker 7: Alta Dina resident.
Speaker 8: KTLA five s Gillian Smugglers joining us Live now with
Speaker 8: exclusive details on how that bear was finally convinced to
Speaker 8: see greener pastures.
Speaker 6: It says it.
Speaker 2: Said here that the owner, Ken Johnson, he told KTLA's
Speaker 2: Jillian Smuckler, which was the girl we were just looking
Speaker 2: at a second ago.
Speaker 3: Smuckler smartly, No, it's a fun name.
Speaker 2: I'm relieved. No more banging under the house and smelling
Speaker 2: him and wondering what's going on there, buddy, You lived
Speaker 2: in that house the entire time the bear was there.
Speaker 2: There's a maybe they didn't know it was five hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty pounds.
Speaker 1: Do you think it was like a rat or something
Speaker 1: that's a.
Speaker 2: Big, big that was never coming back to that house,
Speaker 2: never coming back to that house.
Speaker 1: He said, there was banging around in there.
Speaker 2: The bear took residence and the cross base beneath the
Speaker 2: home just before Thanksgiving, and repeated efforts to coax it
Speaker 2: out were not so great. But I guess once they
Speaker 2: got the company involved in these people involved in getting
Speaker 2: the bear out, they set up like a multi camera
Speaker 2: shoot for this bear. Let's check out some of the
Speaker 2: footage here from KTLA flew down here and that's what
Speaker 2: we already saw here.
Speaker 3: And how did they get him out exactly?
Speaker 2: Well, it was sort of the same methods that the
Speaker 2: Fish and Wildlife used.
Speaker 9: They used paintball guns and just got him irritated until
Speaker 9: him ready to come out.
Speaker 3: Now it's baffling to me because you know, we.
Speaker 2: So they just shoot the bear with paintball guns and
Speaker 2: piss him off. That seems like a terrible.
Speaker 1: Idea, probably doesn't even hurt the bear.
Speaker 3: That scary sounds.
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, maybe sting.
Speaker 3: I would rather paintball guns than killing the bear on site.
Speaker 2: When I saw the footage of the bear, this is
Speaker 2: the bear coming out of your watching on YouTube or twitch,
Speaker 2: dot tv, slash the news junkie. This is the footage
Speaker 2: that they got this multi camera shoot. And then you
Speaker 2: see the guy come around with the paintball gun and
Speaker 2: I thought when I first thought, I thought it was.
Speaker 1: Like a trenk, and.
Speaker 2: Then I saw the tank on top and I was like, no,
Speaker 2: this guy's a straight up like paintball bro and he's shooting.
Speaker 4: The bears out.
Speaker 1: There was paint on the back of the bear that
Speaker 1: last shot.
Speaker 2: And like, yeah, oh gosh, it is And you're right, Josh,
Speaker 2: you're right. I don't know if this is hurting the
Speaker 2: bear at all and just like irritating him. But I
Speaker 2: wouldn't want to shoot a five hundred and fifty pound
Speaker 2: bear with a paintball less that bear get pissed off
Speaker 2: and come back at me and be like, don't have
Speaker 2: a paintball.
Speaker 3: And now that's paintball right in the eyeball.
Speaker 2: Now they've you know, put this nice little wooden plank
Speaker 2: over the thing.
Speaker 4: Bears can't get through playing.
Speaker 1: Do the thinnest piece of ply wood we can find.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would just fill it with concrete. You know,
Speaker 2: you know, all my plumbing and all the other problems
Speaker 2: be damned. They said in the article here that the
Speaker 2: bear returned. That's what him coming back. They said in
Speaker 2: the article somewhere that the bear ruptured a gas line.
Speaker 2: They said they can assess the damage the bear caused
Speaker 2: underneath the home, which includes a ruptured gas line. So
Speaker 2: you're living in this house for a month with a
Speaker 2: five hundred and fifty pound bear underneath your up up
Speaker 2: in your crawl space, and a ruptured gas line.
Speaker 3: That's It's so the bear breeds fire. No got it
Speaker 3: four or five times?
Speaker 2: Kinds of dangerous there because I've never had natural gas?
Speaker 2: Do they Are they able to cut off?
Speaker 10: They?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: So were you able to cut it off?
Speaker 3: I was making a fart joke, but yes, you can
Speaker 3: cut it off. The last time though, it was like
Speaker 3: my little bungalow apartment. I feel like you've been too
Speaker 3: but right the one I never had to cut it off,
Speaker 3: but I feel like it wasn't a knob that I
Speaker 3: could find.
Speaker 4: I would have to call the company.
Speaker 2: I assume just like water, like do you know how
Speaker 2: to turn your water off if you have a water leak?
Speaker 3: Sabrina like via on the toy?
Speaker 11: Sure?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm talking the water whole house. I do. Yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm not flex.
Speaker 2: And you probably have sabrina in your garage somewhere or
Speaker 2: like any utility closet, a big like metal tea pole
Speaker 2: with a little kind of you at the end.
Speaker 3: Maybe. I mean my house is very unique because it
Speaker 3: started as one small structure and you could see where
Speaker 3: they built additions and the wires are crossing. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I have like five electric boxes but still boxes.
Speaker 2: Still, this would be a water box. But it would
Speaker 2: be like buried in your yard.
Speaker 3: Somewhere my house. How about that I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about water leak. This is not bear stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying for people who have natural gas, is
Speaker 2: it the same thing? Is there like a box or
Speaker 2: a or a valve somewhere.
Speaker 4: To stop button these things are going down?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even know if there was a leak unless
Speaker 2: the natural gas smell. Like a lot of times they
Speaker 2: add like a sulfur or something to gas when there's
Speaker 2: no smell to it.
Speaker 1: Because you don't. You wouldn't know if your your.
Speaker 2: House was like full of gas until you until the
Speaker 2: compressor clicks on and boom, everything's gone. Explosions.
Speaker 4: Home ownership is like, this is.
Speaker 2: Exactly what how ownership is like. Yeah, this is fun.
Speaker 2: This is what you have to look forward to.
Speaker 4: I'm excited.
Speaker 2: First you talk to that mortgage guide down and then
Speaker 2: you have to fix things.
Speaker 1: You gotta know where the.
Speaker 2: Valves are your own landlord, you got a giant tree
Speaker 2: that has uh just all the branches or all the
Speaker 2: underground roots are messing up your well and now you
Speaker 2: can't water your plants. That's what I got going from
Speaker 2: over in Sea Lane Land. We talked about it yesterday
Speaker 2: a little bit, but they've made the decision. NASA is
Speaker 2: bringing home Crew eleven after that unnamed crew member had
Speaker 2: a what what they're only calling medical situation Oh boy,
Speaker 2: says NASA will bring home Crew eleven astronauts back to
Speaker 2: Earth from the International Space Station tomorrow, weeks earlier than
Speaker 2: planned due to the medical situation. They said the person
Speaker 2: is stable now considered stable, which Sabrina, you you kind
Speaker 2: of pointed out the wording yesterday saying that well if
Speaker 2: they're saying they're stable.
Speaker 1: There was a chance that previous to this they were
Speaker 1: not stable.
Speaker 2: Now it says now considered stable, which makes me think
Speaker 2: that you're right, Sabrina, you.
Speaker 1: Were onto something there.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Definite Space Agency said earlier in the day they had
Speaker 2: postponed the spacewalk. That's the thing that we talked about yesterday.
Speaker 2: They were supposed to be outside the space station for
Speaker 2: six and a half hours. And this is this is
Speaker 2: like the space version of home ownership. To install routing
Speaker 2: cables and other power equipment to support a new solar array.
Speaker 4: Is there no task rabbit of space?
Speaker 1: There is no, no no.
Speaker 2: It used to be the Russians, but you know, we
Speaker 2: don't call that task rabbit anymore. There In two months,
Speaker 2: NASA Associate Administrator A. Meat shut Tree send at a press
Speaker 2: conference the solar array will be installed later. The upgrades
Speaker 2: not super critical. They just want to make sure that
Speaker 2: they get that that one crew member back, which begs
Speaker 2: the question like, if you're the other crew members, why
Speaker 2: can't you just go like, well, we can stay, right
Speaker 2: or maybe two of us.
Speaker 3: Can stay and one in cost to just get those.
Speaker 2: I guess you know that's a hefty uber fee for
Speaker 2: just one person, but NASA Chief Medical Officer James polk
Speaker 2: said at a press conference the astronauts condition is considered stable, however,
Speaker 2: and the medical situation did not arise from any injury
Speaker 2: in pursuit of operations.
Speaker 1: Oh, space virus. It sounds like this is not our fault,
Speaker 1: Polkosa said.
Speaker 2: There's a robust suite of medical hardware on board the
Speaker 2: International Space Station, but doesn't include all the tools physicians
Speaker 2: would have in a hospital emergency.
Speaker 3: So maybe send that up next time.
Speaker 2: You would think that, like, all right, hospital emergency. They've
Speaker 2: got to have a defibrillator on board.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, well but could that short circuit till space station?
Speaker 3: Is that dangerous?
Speaker 11: I don't know.
Speaker 2: The fibrillators are like a dime a dozen. They have
Speaker 2: them like just on the wall at the mall.
Speaker 3: Space is different. Yes, true, in tourniquet we need. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm sure that if someone's bleeding out, that's handled differently
Speaker 3: in space. Oh oh yeah, please email us. We have
Speaker 3: so many questions.
Speaker 2: That would be our very first astronaut email. The crew
Speaker 2: eleven astronaut return was planning for around March twenty, twenty
Speaker 2: sixth The decision to bring them back early is a
Speaker 2: first for NASA, the first medical situation where they said
Speaker 2: we have to cut a mission short. The last time
Speaker 2: they cut a mission short was in ninety seven with
Speaker 2: Columbia when one of the fuel cells failed in orbit,
Speaker 2: and they said, y'all need to come back a little
Speaker 2: bit early. Let's see, we got a lot to get
Speaker 2: to today, like a whole bunch. There's a bill, there's
Speaker 2: a couple of bills in Florida. One of them is
Speaker 2: going to affect the three of us great, and it's
Speaker 2: going to affect the way we drive and moving forward
Speaker 2: because they've been locking down on the cell phones with
Speaker 2: driving and that is ramping up. And then there's a
Speaker 2: bill about middle schools that I think is just super weird.
Speaker 2: And I don't know, like with with all the grading
Speaker 2: and saying like, oh, some of these Florida schools are
Speaker 2: like getting c's and d's.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is really necessary, But big.
Speaker 4: Talk about shutting down a bunch of schools.
Speaker 2: I think they have. I think they've shut down a
Speaker 2: handful of school school shut down the A plus school.
Speaker 2: Why we were just not shut down one of the
Speaker 2: lesser schools and.
Speaker 1: They're smart enough they don't put the kids in We
Speaker 1: were doing that already, but we're gonna jump into that.
Speaker 2: We're gonna jump into the absolute worst of the worst
Speaker 2: of cees, which happened in Vegas this week, and it
Speaker 2: had a lot of great new inventions, big new TVs,
Speaker 2: vibrating crazy, vibrating lollipops. We're gonna hear about that again
Speaker 2: because that, in fact did make the worst in show
Speaker 2: amid other things. So we'll talk about that. Plus a
Speaker 2: guy who went on a little bit of a rampage
Speaker 2: in Nevada which looked kind of fun until it didn't.
Speaker 1: That and so much more.
Speaker 2: Plus your dispatches to the news Junkie dot com all
Speaker 2: coming up for a Stacked Friday. Next on the News Junkie,
Speaker 2: you're trying to maybe like google the exchange rate in
Speaker 2: your head or do it on actual Google.
Speaker 3: Google Ireland was the most confusing to me because they
Speaker 3: also it's a lot of coins and coins that are
Speaker 3: the equivalent of a dollar even more here in the.
Speaker 4: US, and I'm like, what do I do with the
Speaker 4: sack of.
Speaker 5: Coins ring with shillings less? I actually still have coaster
Speaker 5: ricking money in my bag. I just kind of left
Speaker 5: it there and here. That's fun.
Speaker 2: And you know, if you're going to cost Rica, I'll
Speaker 2: throw you a couple colon.
Speaker 3: I believe the.
Speaker 1: Colonis.
Speaker 2: It sounds like, uh, sounds like like a like a
Speaker 2: checkup that.
Speaker 4: You get or like testicles in Spanish.
Speaker 2: Yeah. True. So have you ever felt, though, like when
Speaker 2: you're when you're eating at one of these places, or
Speaker 2: you're spending your money somewhere, that you are a target
Speaker 2: because you are like just just beaming American, just like
Speaker 2: there's an American aura around you that just says, rip
Speaker 2: this person off, Yeah.
Speaker 3: This is a good deal. In Italy actually was something
Speaker 3: that I had seen and it was a warning of sorts.
Speaker 3: But if we're going into some sight seeing place, they
Speaker 3: there's a guy that just like threw two bracelets on me,
Speaker 3: and he's like, oh, so you can have it, you
Speaker 3: can have beautiful, you can Okay, thanks so much, And
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, I have three other people
Speaker 3: like by you owe us money, And I didn't know
Speaker 3: what was going on. So I just ripped off the
Speaker 3: bracelets and I ran as fast as I could into
Speaker 3: said sites.
Speaker 1: That's how they get you. That's a good way.
Speaker 2: But and I didn't know that we would broach this
Speaker 2: topic two days in a row. But the restaurant that
Speaker 2: is being criticized right now in Osaka, Japan is a
Speaker 2: ramen restaurant. Ramen Poor People Food, Romen makes Sense. An
Speaker 2: appearance on the news Junkie two days in a row,
Speaker 2: Ramen restaurant in Osaka is facing backlash after customers discovered
Speaker 2: that they have like a digital menu, right and you know,
Speaker 2: if you're like calling somewhere and they're like, you know,
Speaker 2: for English press one Espanol Marco. Yeah, but they have
Speaker 2: a digital menu at this place that has options in
Speaker 2: English and options in Japanese to make it easier to read.
Speaker 2: The problem is they've figured out that they're charging the
Speaker 2: English speecher, the English English speakers of which I am not.
Speaker 2: They're charging them sometimes double for like some of the
Speaker 2: same like ramen dishes that they're serving.
Speaker 3: Just because the menu is in English, just.
Speaker 2: Because they picked the English menu, so it says visitors notice.
Speaker 2: The restaurant's ticket vending machine allows customers to choose between
Speaker 2: Japanese and English menus, each with different prices. For a
Speaker 2: standard bowl of ramen. The Japanese menu charges eight hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty four yen, which is about five dollars sixty
Speaker 2: five cents.
Speaker 1: Oh good deal.
Speaker 2: English menu nine dollars in eighty two secs.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's pay back for World War Two. I
Speaker 1: think the green.
Speaker 2: Onion ramen six ninety seven for Japanese, eleven seventy eight
Speaker 2: for the English menu. If you want braced pork in
Speaker 2: your ramen, you're damn near paying double six seventy three
Speaker 2: for the Japanese menu, twelve forty four for the English speakers.
Speaker 3: I mean there's a work around, right, like you three
Speaker 3: Japanese ree Japanese, just hit.
Speaker 2: The Japanese menu and tap and prey like.
Speaker 3: Sure iPad to translate. And if it's just tap and
Speaker 3: they get the digital order, you're good. If it's you
Speaker 3: have to call in or confirm. That's where you get
Speaker 3: caught a little bit.
Speaker 2: So they confronted the owner. The owner says he denies
Speaker 2: discriminating against foreign customers. Guys, it's not a discrimination thing.
Speaker 2: He says the English menu offers different or premium versions
Speaker 2: of the dishes designed for people who cannot read Japanese,
Speaker 2: and argues that the Japanese menus include detailed ingredient explanations
Speaker 2: and subtle variations that would be difficult to translate. So
Speaker 2: the English menu simplifies the offering, almost like you're paying
Speaker 2: me extra for me to simplify it for you. And
Speaker 2: that simplification, he says, justifies the higher price. The owner saves.
Speaker 2: The price helps exactly, helps avoid confusion and operational issues.
Speaker 2: But the people that speak both languages or read both languages,
Speaker 2: like dove a little deeper and said, the dish is
Speaker 2: shown on both menus appear visually identical. The ingredients seem
Speaker 2: to be no different between versions. They're really just saying, oh,
Speaker 2: we have some we have some tourists here, maybe milk
Speaker 2: a little money out of the tourist, a little extra
Speaker 2: almost double for some of these dishes. Customers reportedly complained
Speaker 2: only after realizing the price difference, leading to disputes inside
Speaker 2: the restaurants, fueling online criticism. But like, I want to know,
Speaker 2: like dispatchers chime in, if you've ever been in this situation, like,
Speaker 2: have you been to a foreign restaurant or even a
Speaker 2: domestic restaurant that somehow discriminates against tourists. I the only
Speaker 2: thing I can think of, like domestically was I've told
Speaker 2: you guys before about the vacation I took to Asheville,
Speaker 2: North Carolina. Yes, where they have really really weird antiquated
Speaker 2: alcohol laws where every bar has to be a club
Speaker 2: that you're you you join like a membership too, and
Speaker 2: not like club but like, yeah, you have to sign
Speaker 2: up for a membership and you have like a membership
Speaker 2: card to get into this club, and it's usually either
Speaker 2: free or like a dollar to get these things. And
Speaker 2: then you leave Asheville, North Carolina with like pockets full
Speaker 2: of these stupid membership you know cards that are kind
Speaker 2: of meaningless, except for the one place that said we
Speaker 2: don't accept new members Thursday through Monday, meaning if you
Speaker 2: took a weekend trip to Asheville and you wanted to
Speaker 2: go to this cool looking bar, no you're not allowed.
Speaker 2: You have to show up on a Tuesday, Wednesday, maybe
Speaker 2: maybe Monday was one of the days, but you can
Speaker 2: only come on these days to get a new membership.
Speaker 2: Other than that, for the rest of the week, we
Speaker 2: only accept existing members and no newbies, which essentially kind
Speaker 2: of bars out tourists, like if you're not from around here,
Speaker 2: we don't want you in our bar.
Speaker 3: I mean there's a little part of me coming from
Speaker 3: a place, living in a place that is turus central, right,
Speaker 3: and no, uh, you know, a fence to the tourists.
Speaker 3: But certainly there are some spots in which you can
Speaker 3: tell the difference and maybe if you have one little
Speaker 3: safe space. Is such the wrong phrase to use, mm hmm,
Speaker 3: but something like that. I can understand why locals will
Speaker 3: go there.
Speaker 2: I could see somewhere having like a secret menu we
Speaker 2: have we have the posted prices. Then if you like
Speaker 2: kind of do a little knob on the on the
Speaker 2: nose or something, or you you order it a certain way,
Speaker 2: you say fan dango. I don't know, there's a code
Speaker 2: word trademark. You got to have the secret menu where
Speaker 2: you get like the hookup and the better prices.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could see that.
Speaker 3: And I can also see where there are places where
Speaker 3: tourists are often here in Orlando, I drive is tourists crazy, right,
Speaker 3: And you know those places if you have a party.
Speaker 2: Those people want more more than three.
Speaker 3: Though you're getting autograt of course they do. But I
Speaker 3: do wonder if you were going to have a party
Speaker 3: of six anywhere else, is it still autograph? Sorry? You
Speaker 3: take advantage maybe, or you realize that some people from
Speaker 3: out of the country don't tip like we do.
Speaker 2: Well. Anyway, if you happen to be visiting Osaka, Japan,
Speaker 2: and you want to have ramen at this place, I
Speaker 2: don't have the name on here anymore. I think I
Speaker 2: think it got cut off something, but yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2: I don't think they have a whole lot of nuts
Speaker 2: in the in the ramen, but they get some peanut
Speaker 2: dishes I think somewhere. But yeah, Osaka. They're not too
Speaker 2: happy with this restaurant owner who says, I'm just up
Speaker 2: charging for the convenience of translating the menu into English.
Speaker 2: We'll see what you think. Have you ever come across
Speaker 2: that in a foreign nation where you're not sure how
Speaker 2: you're spending your money? Send in a dispatch. Let's go
Speaker 2: to those dispatches real quick. Yours are coming in. Let's
Speaker 2: go to Oregon transplant. He joins the show, or she
Speaker 2: maybe I don't know.
Speaker 12: Happy Friday to shoot. Let's just get on it. That
Speaker 12: absolutely should be the new intro. I loved it. That
Speaker 12: was amazing. You should always do acappella. Maybe think about
Speaker 12: doing a news junkie A cappella group.
Speaker 2: Happy Friday, Oh Sabria, that Sabrina's calling.
Speaker 3: Like calling it's my past, and yes, I am not
Speaker 3: ashamed of me being in an a cappella group and
Speaker 3: call it.

Speaker 3: Yes, in your a cappella group, shout out key harmony?
Speaker 1: Is that that what it was called?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Not like uh, you don't have trouble comes trouble with
Speaker 2: Broccoli Rob. Now all right, let's go to Brovilla. Brovilla
Speaker 2: has a dispatch from the news junkie app.

Speaker 10: I heard?
Speaker 11: So generally there's three points.
Speaker 13: There's a shut off out in the yard sometimes it's buried,
Speaker 13: you know, one on the side of the house right
Speaker 13: coming into the house, and then another one at the
Speaker 13: water heater.
Speaker 11: So right, just there's three points that you can shut
Speaker 11: mortar down.
Speaker 13: We'll just call the city and shut it off, especially
Speaker 13: if there's a leak, and they'll be able to tell
Speaker 13: you too if something's going on.
Speaker 11: All right, today's my birthday. So I'm chilling.
Speaker 2: Alright here we are, happy birthday. She did not have
Speaker 2: a leak. This was a hypothetical because we didn't know.
Speaker 3: If she if I did, though, cold be jed.
Speaker 14: Right.
Speaker 3: Hey, just heard back from dispatcher, great guy, Brovilla, And
Speaker 3: this is how you turn off the gas.
Speaker 1: No, this is why he's talking about water.
Speaker 3: This is why I rent.
Speaker 1: Just to call the landlord. He'll have it fixed.
Speaker 3: You're listening. There's no leak.
Speaker 1: I promise, all right, you promise, yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Over to these Florida bills.
Speaker 2: There's two of them that are have been filed in
Speaker 2: the Florida House and the legislature that one of them
Speaker 2: will affect us and the other does not matter. But
Speaker 2: I still think it's a little ridiculous. So we're just
Speaker 2: going to touch on it real quick. First, the one
Speaker 2: that affects us. A new bill filed in the Florida
Speaker 2: legislature could make it illegal for drivers to even hold
Speaker 2: a cell phone while operating a vehicle. Now, previously, as
Speaker 2: they have kind of clamped down on texting and driving,
Speaker 2: they're saying, like, oh, for a while, it was you
Speaker 2: couldn't hold your phone unless you were doing any sort
Speaker 2: of like navigation, So your excuse if you get pulled
Speaker 2: over with sorry, officer, I was putting in. I was
Speaker 2: putting in the coordinates for my destination. I wanted to know,
Speaker 2: like how long it was going to take me to
Speaker 2: get home. You guys navigate to places where you know
Speaker 2: they are, just to see.
Speaker 1: Where you know?
Speaker 3: How long you up automatically? Yeah, exactly, kind of see
Speaker 3: if I can get an idea of my arrival time.
Speaker 2: Right, I do. I do it all the time. And
Speaker 2: I have the same thing with CarPlay. But this bill
Speaker 2: says it's trying to reduce accidents caused by distracted driving.
Speaker 2: It would prohibit drivers from using any wireless communication devices
Speaker 2: in their hands, including now for GPS, texting, FaceTime, selecting music,
Speaker 2: or checking.
Speaker 1: Social media probably the most important one there.
Speaker 2: Exceptions would only apply when the vehicle is stationary or
Speaker 2: for emergencies such as reporting a crime or suspicious activities. Currently,
Speaker 2: texting while driving is illegal, but the new measure, and
Speaker 2: this is where you probably should pay attention, it would
Speaker 2: expand the restriction to all handheld phone use. Violations in
Speaker 2: school or work zones. Would carry one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: dollars fine for first offense. A third offense could be
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars and a ninety day license suspension. So
Speaker 2: if you are a chronic phone holder, you might want
Speaker 2: to pay attention to this and get yourself some sort
Speaker 2: of CarPlay. And then this other bill, which I think
Speaker 2: is ridiculous. And I think you guys are close enough
Speaker 2: in age to me that we all had the same experience.
Speaker 2: Like when we were in preschool and elementary school, we
Speaker 2: had a recess.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, recess, and then what was.
Speaker 1: The last grade that you had recess?
Speaker 3: In grade?
Speaker 2: What? Yeah, you had recess in middle school? Yeah, private school.
Speaker 3: Same So in Catholic so K through eighth it was
Speaker 3: our school. We didn't go to second school for sixth
Speaker 3: grade through eighth grade.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I went to a private school. I stopped
Speaker 2: at fifth grade, but I was I was pretty sure
Speaker 2: that when we went into middle school, they were like, no,
Speaker 2: you're going to start changing classes. You're growing up. We're
Speaker 2: getting rid of recess.
Speaker 3: You guys had recess, block scheduling.
Speaker 2: Tuesday Lane, the school that if I would have stayed at,
Speaker 2: had block scheduling. But I went to public school and
Speaker 2: they did not do block scheduling. Block scheduling sounded like
Speaker 2: it was a pain in the ass to figure out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had recess to light grade.
Speaker 2: Okay, color me surprised because I thought everybody just cut
Speaker 2: off at fifth grade. A bill in the Florida House
Speaker 2: would require recess for middle school students, expanding a mandate
Speaker 2: that currently applies only to elementary schools. It is actually, like,
Speaker 2: you know in law, codified in law that you have
Speaker 2: to have recess for elementary schools. But this bill says
Speaker 2: it would require recess for middle school students because they
Speaker 2: don't get enough outside time, enough socialization. It would extend
Speaker 2: from kindergarten through fifth grade to kindergarten through eighth grade,
Speaker 2: adding structured free time play for students in grade six
Speaker 2: through eight.
Speaker 1: I'm like, isn't that what.
Speaker 2: PE is for? No, you you're outside time? You new PE?
Speaker 2: They teaching?
Speaker 1: Yes, No, you need free time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, outside but socializing and on your own terms.
Speaker 2: You Like, these kids can't read, why do they need
Speaker 2: to go outside?
Speaker 1: More?
Speaker 3: Heart Take two coming in on.
Speaker 2: The proposal, calls for one hundred minutes of recess per week,
Speaker 2: matching the current requirement for elementary school students. So they're
Speaker 2: just going to have to find them a spot in
Speaker 2: the schedule twenty minutes a day to just to make
Speaker 2: the school day longer. I think maybe they like recess.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: You know what, I don't miss school at all, no
Speaker 3: one bit.
Speaker 2: You guys ever have dreams that you're still in school, Yes,
Speaker 2: I haven't in a minute.
Speaker 1: I have dreams that I'm still in college.
Speaker 2: I have not showed up to class for months, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know how I'm going to fake
Speaker 2: my way through this next test.
Speaker 1: But yeah, uh.
Speaker 2: Burby Hancock Middle schoolers, should they have recess?
Speaker 15: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit, a little bit unnecessary.
Speaker 2: But maybe you don't. We will take your dispatches. We
Speaker 2: got this guy who went on a rampage. He went
Speaker 2: on a joy ride in Nevada. We're gonna get to that.
Speaker 2: And there are reports saying that there is an important
Speaker 2: official government official that they purposely just left out of
Speaker 2: the whole Venezuela Moduro raid.
Speaker 1: We're going to learn a little bit more about that.
Speaker 2: All that and more is coming up next on the
Speaker 2: News Junkie Store. On Monday, was this whole the operation
Speaker 2: where the US went into Venezuela. They got Nicholas Maduro.
Speaker 2: They put them on the aircraft carrier with the blindfold
Speaker 2: and the bottle of water, the aquafina and the track suit,
Speaker 2: and now Venezuela's ours. Now we run Venezuela for a while, right.
Speaker 2: President Trump said in an interview that he doesn't know
Speaker 2: how long, but it's going to be more than just
Speaker 2: a few weeks or months that we're in charge. We
Speaker 2: are the Venezuelan president now. And we learned about the
Speaker 2: intense like planning and work that went into the capture
Speaker 2: of Nicholas Maduro, like building a replica of his house,
Speaker 2: seemingly would have included a lot of intelligence personnel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone on the inside, I imagine the inside.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I'm just saying, or there's Zilo, the Zilla
Speaker 2: thing might help. But also like I'm just I'm referring
Speaker 2: to like our government, the US United States Intelligence personnels CIA,
Speaker 2: and Bloomberg is reporting that, uh, and there's there are
Speaker 2: people that are saying, no, this is wrong, this is
Speaker 2: not something that happened. But Bloomberg at least is saying
Speaker 2: that the White House may have excluded the Director of
Speaker 2: National Intelligence, the dn I Tulsi Gabbard from months of
Speaker 2: planning to oust Nicholas Maduro because previously she opposed military
Speaker 2: action in Venezuela. She cast out on her willingness to
Speaker 2: cast out on her willingness to support the operation there,
Speaker 2: like she's not gonna like it, so we're just not
Speaker 2: gonna tell her. Oh okay, cool, she's the Director of
Speaker 2: National Intelligence and we're not going to tell her.
Speaker 3: No one tells me, no.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no, it says according to these reports,
Speaker 2: like according to uh some people that didn't want to
Speaker 2: be identified, discussing private conversations, and it says the move
Speaker 2: to cut Gabbard out of meetings, they said was so
Speaker 2: well known that some White House aids And this is
Speaker 2: my favorite part. They joked at the acronym of her
Speaker 2: title DNI, which usually stands for her Director of National
Speaker 2: Intel Eligence title stood for do not invite. They just like,
Speaker 2: we're not gonna you know, we're doing this Maduro stuff.
Speaker 4: It's like medical trauma to me. Coming back.
Speaker 2: We're building the house and we're not going to tell
Speaker 2: old donot.
Speaker 1: Invite over there.
Speaker 2: That was according to three people who asked not to
Speaker 2: be identified discussing these private conversations. A White House official
Speaker 2: has since denied there was any such joke. As a
Speaker 2: Democratic congresswoman in twenty nineteen, Gabbard said the US needs
Speaker 2: to stay out of Venezuela, and as recently as last month,
Speaker 2: railed against warmongers pushing the US into conflict. Vice President
Speaker 2: jd Vance labeled false the notion that he or Gabbard
Speaker 2: had been left out of the operations planning. And I
Speaker 2: don't know why you mentioned himself. Was there any report
Speaker 2: that jd Vance was potentially left out of any Venezuela planning?
Speaker 1: Like that's the first I'd heard of it. Why would
Speaker 1: he be I don't know.
Speaker 4: Like, isn't that group chat earlier last year you had.
Speaker 2: Seen man jd Vance would probably be pretty But if
Speaker 2: they if they didn't tell him, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You guys have another.
Speaker 3: Group chet the Vice president was supposed to be in that.
Speaker 2: White House Communication Director Stephen Chung or Chang said Trump
Speaker 2: has full confidence in D.
Speaker 1: And I Gabbert.
Speaker 2: There's that acronym again, and says she's doing a fantastic job.
Speaker 2: A senior intelligence official pushback against the characterization that Gabbert
Speaker 2: had been excluded, saying she provided intelligence to help the
Speaker 2: overall mission, even if it was less operational and more analytical.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so conflicting reports there. The White House is
Speaker 2: denying that they might have left Gabert out in the
Speaker 2: cold as far as planning for this operation in Venezuela.
Speaker 2: But I think hilarious if they did, because the funniest
Speaker 2: part of that that stood out to me in that
Speaker 2: whole story was this d and I this do not advite.
Speaker 2: That's what we call her. Oh Gabbert's asking questions she's
Speaker 2: not allowed to know.
Speaker 3: It is funny, but it's also like, hey, this is
Speaker 3: uh this is my job.
Speaker 4: I would be pissed off.
Speaker 10: I would be.
Speaker 4: Based on not inviting me.
Speaker 3: You guys have one, don't you know? It's uh no,
Speaker 3: I'll shut this down right now.
Speaker 1: Josh, Josh.
Speaker 2: D dis.
Speaker 1: We're going operation DISCS.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, I'm gonna go Dick your operation Dick?
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 3: Don't invite?
Speaker 4: Sea line.
Speaker 2: Dikel Over to Las Vegas. Over to uh Henderson, Nevada,
Speaker 2: where security footage nine to one one calls in a
Speaker 2: body worn camera footage show what unfolded at this construction
Speaker 2: site that led a man attempting to run over police
Speaker 2: officers with a front loader and they said, this guy
Speaker 2: just hopped a fence, and they made it sound really
Speaker 2: easy in the news, and we're gonna watch this video
Speaker 2: in a second. Here they said, he just hot wired
Speaker 2: this front this this bulldozer, a front loader or whatever.
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly up to speed on my construction equipment.
Speaker 4: What does it look like. Oh, and has a big bucket.
Speaker 1: Let's see what happened. Let's take a look at this.
Speaker 1: Here's the footage, but.
Speaker 16: We're standing off against twenty tons. It started at this
Speaker 16: construction site in Henderson, Nevada, Sunday morning and I witness
Speaker 16: spotting a man hopping a fence.
Speaker 1: There is over the fence by a ring heavy machinery.
Speaker 2: I have a guy trying to bullploser. Moments later an officer,
Speaker 2: so the person.
Speaker 1: Now shut up.
Speaker 2: The person that called nine one one was actually like
Speaker 2: a security person working remotely and just watching the cameras
Speaker 2: and said, we have a guy trying to steal a bulldozer.
Speaker 2: And they said hot wired it, which I've never hot
Speaker 2: wired anything.
Speaker 1: It always were.
Speaker 4: It was always TikTok saved on how to do it
Speaker 4: in a car, but it.
Speaker 2: Was always one of those things that you saw in
Speaker 2: the movies and they made look really easy. But all
Speaker 2: the car manufacturers were like, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no no, we promise it's definitely not that easy.
Speaker 1: You should still buy our cars.
Speaker 3: And then introduce that Kia that you can just use
Speaker 3: a USB to turn on. I don't even need to
Speaker 3: use any wires or make them.
Speaker 2: Hot I don't even think you really needed the USB.
Speaker 2: I think if you just pinched real hard, you could
Speaker 2: turn whatever thing.
Speaker 1: They had there.
Speaker 2: But aside from the getting shot at part, I hate
Speaker 2: to say, what he did looks pretty fun, though, I mean,
Speaker 2: aside from the whole getting shot out part and maybe
Speaker 2: endangering lives of other people. Check out the footagecheck can
Speaker 2: you hot.
Speaker 3: Wire one of those? Or did they leave the keys
Speaker 3: inside that?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, they do that something.
Speaker 1: The officer opening.
Speaker 16: Fire, but this expect identified his.
Speaker 2: Thirty three year old one Ringkankrin cover police cars.
Speaker 16: As Brink crushes the cruiser, another unit arrives on scene,
Speaker 16: opening fire. Two officers take him down, falling with the
Speaker 16: suspect some seven feet before making an arrest.
Speaker 2: Seven feet my gosh, they got that guy, arrested him.
Speaker 2: Somebody reaching out to me, says, all catloaders and John deerloaders,
Speaker 2: this is a Kawasaki butt have the same key for
Speaker 2: each brand, and they're very easy to hot wire. I
Speaker 2: think some of those construction sites, like Josh said, are
Speaker 2: a little less secure than they are. And I know
Speaker 2: for a fact I've read some of those roadside signs
Speaker 2: that have the like the temporary signs that are flashing
Speaker 2: deep tour men at work, that kind of stuff land
Speaker 2: down Under. I've read of people that have hacked those,
Speaker 2: and the hackery is really just opening the lid and
Speaker 2: the password is written in sharp ee on the inside
Speaker 2: of the thing, like some of the things you just
Speaker 2: think never to mess with. Password is password is password.
Speaker 2: They just make it very easy for you. But they said,
Speaker 2: this guy hot wired the bulldozer and just went and
Speaker 2: had some fun, went and had a good old fashioned
Speaker 2: ran over some police cars, caused a bunch of damage,
Speaker 2: and now he's in jail. What do you think you
Speaker 2: can send your dispatches Leave them at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to some of those dispatches.
Speaker 1: They're coming in.
Speaker 2: We got some people chiming in on the price differences
Speaker 2: let's go to B Miller. B Miller has a dispatch
Speaker 2: talking about that Ramen place in Japan.
Speaker 17: Hey junkies, hippy Friday, First Sea Way. We missed you
Speaker 17: on the other show doing your three sip beer review.
Speaker 17: But as far as the difference in menu, I've been
Speaker 17: to Haiti and walked into just a simple convenience store
Speaker 17: down there, got a soda. He told me how much
Speaker 17: it was. As I'm walking out, I hate you guy.
Speaker 17: I got the same soda and my translator told me
Speaker 17: and paid.
Speaker 10: Half as much.
Speaker 2: So there's that. See, happy Friday.
Speaker 11: Hope you'll have a good weekend.
Speaker 2: Why travelers tax I think Yeah, I think it's a
Speaker 2: little more common. They say, we see the this guy's
Speaker 2: pretty white, then we're going to take advantage. Not every body,
Speaker 2: but I think it happens more often than you would think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and are you going to be that white guy
Speaker 4: that's going to say.
Speaker 2: Something whoa, whoa whoa.
Speaker 3: Hold on, Yes, I'm not talking about you.
Speaker 2: No, I meant that. That's what I was saying. I'm
Speaker 2: the white guy here, I was, I was, I was.
Speaker 2: I was really digging for some spanglish that just didn't
Speaker 2: come to me at the time. But let's go on
Speaker 2: to Evil Eye with a dispatch.
Speaker 10: You were talking about being in college and your dreams.
Speaker 10: That happens to me all the time. But usually I either.
Speaker 18: Can't find my room or my building or my class
Speaker 18: because I don't recognize it, or when I get the class,
Speaker 18: it's not my class and they're teaching something completely different.
Speaker 10: But trying to go home is even worse. I can't find.
Speaker 2: My truck to back up, I can't find anything.
Speaker 10: I can't find my vehicle anywhere.
Speaker 4: Look at that.
Speaker 10: So I'm just stuck there. And then I wake up
Speaker 10: and I go, oh, that's right. I'm like almost sixty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Eyes is opening up for a lot of people
Speaker 3: dispatching about their.
Speaker 2: Dreams, my dreams about that is the funny part is
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not even trying to find my class.
Speaker 1: I just dream.
Speaker 2: In the dream, I remember that I'm still in college
Speaker 2: and that that I haven't been a class. But I
Speaker 2: don't actually like Evil Eyes going through more motions than
Speaker 2: I would. I just go, haven't been in a while,
Speaker 2: not going today Tomorrow is not looking good either, But
Speaker 2: we have more of your dispatches piling up, and we're
Speaker 2: going to get to the worst worst things that happened
Speaker 2: at Cees, the inventions that people thought were going to
Speaker 2: change everything, and they just got a big, fat goose egg.
Speaker 2: As far as interest, We're going to do that and
Speaker 2: more next episodes coming up in just a little bit.
Speaker 2: And we have a guest doing this week in Florida.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: He might already be here, we don't know, who knows,
Speaker 1: But all that and more is coming up next.
Speaker 2: On the News Junkie, I was wondering, Josh, if you
Speaker 2: had heard this because you worked at a beer bar
Speaker 2: for a while. That's right, And I had seen this
Speaker 2: story when I was doing when I was pulling stories
Speaker 2: for today's show about this, like Whiskey Distillery. A handful
Speaker 2: of like whiskey brands that have been shutting down, Like
Speaker 2: I guess it's not been a good year for whiskey,
Speaker 2: at least some whiskeys I don't know, not ones that
Speaker 2: you've heard of. Like I don't think Jamison has any
Speaker 2: problems going on right now.
Speaker 1: Domestic stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3: The prices have gone up, I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 3: But I can see whiskey was.
Speaker 4: Like a hot comade in the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: It seemed like everyone was making their own whiskey or tequila, right, and.
Speaker 2: But the celebrities really really the only ones that were,
Speaker 2: you know, moving any case. But as I was like
Speaker 2: skimming through this article, something that stuck out to me
Speaker 2: that went under my radar. Do you know that Rogue
Speaker 2: Ales and Spirits closed? Like back in November? No I
Speaker 2: used to drink. I used to love some erode stuff everywhere.
Speaker 2: They were super popular.
Speaker 1: What was the big one? It had like a guy
Speaker 1: in a coffin on it, guy Ale.
Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, they was in a pope outfit they had.
Speaker 2: They had a bunch of stuff I really enjoyed there.
Speaker 2: They had a lot of limited runs. The one that
Speaker 2: got really popular, but it was really divisive was that
Speaker 2: they had a collab with Voodoo Donuts. The collaboration the
Speaker 2: collab for short like a DM for collab. I just
Speaker 2: thought it was funny the way you said it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And they said they did this thing with Voodoo Donuts
Speaker 2: and they had like a maple bacon ale and it
Speaker 2: was a limited run and everybody's like, I got my
Speaker 2: hands on the maple bacon ale, I'm super excited. And
Speaker 2: then once they popped it open, it was like, really, no,
Speaker 2: really loved it or absolutely hated it. And I think
Speaker 2: what wasn't really helping out its chances was the bottle
Speaker 2: for this maple bacon ale because it was with Voodoo
Speaker 2: Donuts and their whole thing was pink. It was the
Speaker 2: color of pepto bismo. So yeah, so I mean people
Speaker 2: were really excited about it when it came out. I
Speaker 2: loved their Chipotle ale, they were great. But yeah, Rogue
Speaker 2: parent company organ Brewing closed operations and filed for Chapter
Speaker 2: seven and their Rogus no More, Roga's rip, Rogu's dead
Speaker 2: guy ale.
Speaker 1: They are the dead thing. You're dead now.
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, that kind of sucks. And
Speaker 2: then I went on like a little bit too much
Speaker 2: of a deep dive about it and figured out, Uh,
Speaker 2: they had a bad reputation in the brewing community, Like
Speaker 2: they just had a lot. They had a lot of
Speaker 2: accusations of just being crappy to their employees, and they
Speaker 2: somebody like unearthed an old Craigslist ad because they wanted
Speaker 2: an it guy, but they wanted like a jack of
Speaker 2: all trades it guy to work for like ten dollars
Speaker 2: an hour but needed to do everything.
Speaker 4: And did anyone apply for that job.
Speaker 2: I don't know, because I mean, I'm sure somebody was
Speaker 2: hard up. But the beat in the door, the like
Speaker 2: the job listing was so douchey, and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh man, I really liked that brewery. But it sucks
Speaker 2: that it turns out that they were a bunch of
Speaker 2: jerks and they're gone now, so I guess that didn't
Speaker 2: work out for them. But over to Cees. CES twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six was going on this week. You know, I
Speaker 2: saw a lot of posts from official iHeartRadio accounts that
Speaker 2: there is like ce that they yeah they, I guess
Speaker 2: I missed the invite just looking through a spam folder.
Speaker 2: Didn't see the CEES invite. Yeah, same whole lounge. They
Speaker 2: had a whole bunch of stuff going on there talking
Speaker 2: about radio technology and this and that, but they anything.
Speaker 1: They also plenty of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah cool, But they released the Worst in Show for
Speaker 2: the CEES list. And if you could imagine what dominated
Speaker 2: the worst in Show, like any ideas on what you
Speaker 2: would see a lot of in the.
Speaker 1: Worst of Show because it's a very.
Speaker 5: Hot topic right now, it's AI related stuff.
Speaker 1: It was almost all AI related stuff.
Speaker 3: Josh was like, very pointless yes, feel like one of
Speaker 3: the things you had shared earlier this week. Okay, that
Speaker 3: was kind of pointless.
Speaker 2: That was very pointless, and it was. It's not an
Speaker 2: AI thing, but it does say the tech lollipop. Lollipop
Speaker 2: Star attracted attention early at c a CES as a
Speaker 2: candy that plays music while you eat it. It's creators
Speaker 2: say the bone induction. We talked about this yesterday, the
Speaker 2: bone induction technology that enabled people to hear songs from ice,
Speaker 2: spice or acon through the lollipop. And it goes.
Speaker 3: Through the lollipop. You had to put the other thing
Speaker 3: in your mouth, like the end of it, the actual
Speaker 3: bluetooth speaker.
Speaker 2: I thought, no, it was it was. I think it
Speaker 2: was the part that's inside the lollipop. I think you're
Speaker 2: supposed to be able to enjoy the candy and the
Speaker 2: music at the same time.
Speaker 3: Gotcha.
Speaker 2: But it got bad markings saying the sticks can't be
Speaker 2: recharged or reused after the candy's gone, leaving consumer advocate
Speaker 2: Nathan Prokor to give it a Worst in Show for
Speaker 2: the environment.
Speaker 3: Damn.
Speaker 2: So we need to stop making so many disposable electronics
Speaker 2: full of toxic chemicals. Vapes. Yeah, just like that, and
Speaker 2: it's like he's got a point just to suck on
Speaker 2: a lollipop for what you know, all of two three
Speaker 2: minutes and song to hear one song or nine dollars
Speaker 2: there was a toy or a key chain or something.
Speaker 2: When we were in like middle or high school clips
Speaker 2: hit clips. What a waste that was. It wasn't even
Speaker 2: a whole.
Speaker 3: That was before MP three's were really a thing, so
Speaker 3: we our minds were being blown. They were really crappy.
Speaker 3: I don't know, thirty second version of Britney Spears song
Speaker 3: look at Me, I have a boomba.
Speaker 2: Look up?
Speaker 1: How much did a hit clip costs?
Speaker 19: Cheap?
Speaker 1: One from McDonald's, like.
Speaker 2: Like in a happy meal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were like giving them away as a promotional crap.
Speaker 3: So original price for HitClips player was around twenty dollars,
Speaker 3: while the individual one minute song cartridges costs about three
Speaker 3: to ninety nine each, making the Carrig's the primary revenue
Speaker 3: source for Tiger Electronics.
Speaker 2: This is a little defensive back then, the tiny little
Speaker 2: like music Nintendo that didn't even have a full song
Speaker 2: on it. It's just a little cartridge that you have
Speaker 2: to have the player, and the player's twenty bucks the.
Speaker 3: Players twenty bucks, meaning it would what be fifty.
Speaker 2: Five bucks that not get Worst in Show at CEES
Speaker 2: at the whatever year that.
Speaker 3: Was because CS that year was also like, we've got
Speaker 3: a printer that'll take only two hours to print one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, alright, they loved wasting stuff back then, But no
Speaker 2: AI dominated the list of things at CEES that just
Speaker 2: weren't really tickling people's fancy.
Speaker 1: It says.
Speaker 2: Samsung's bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator received the overall Worst
Speaker 2: and Show recognition from the group of consumer and privacy
Speaker 2: advocates who judge the contest. It invites users to speak
Speaker 2: to the refrigerator and command it to open or.
Speaker 3: Close the door open, close.
Speaker 1: That's all it does. No, there's other things.
Speaker 2: A demonstration to the sprawling tech expos showed it didn't
Speaker 2: always detect what people were saying. If there was too
Speaker 2: much ambient noise. Well, that makes sense, but that was
Speaker 2: just part of the complications and reliability concerns. Samsung added
Speaker 2: to an impliance that's supposed to have one important job
Speaker 2: keeping food cold, said Gay Gordon Byrne of the Digital
Speaker 2: Right to Repair Coalition. Why they got to say he's gay,
Speaker 2: that's his name, his name's gay. Is not a gay name.
Speaker 1: No, his name's gay. Gordon Byrne. The Gordon burn is hyphenated.
Speaker 3: They said this Gordon always something that it.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a marriage thing, but they hyphenated it. That's
Speaker 2: why it's gay.
Speaker 3: I love that they looked at that baby and said
Speaker 3: we'll call them gay.
Speaker 2: Everything is in order of magnitude more difficult, she said
Speaker 2: of the fridge that also use Oh, it's a sheet,
Speaker 2: which I believe.
Speaker 1: I believe.
Speaker 2: No, her name is gay. The other the only other
Speaker 2: woman named gay that I've heard of is Bob Saggett's
Speaker 2: sister Gay Saggett.
Speaker 1: The name of his sister unfortunate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything is an order of magnitude more difficult, she
Speaker 2: said of the fridge.
Speaker 1: Listen to it.
Speaker 3: There's something wrong with being gay, Josh, No.
Speaker 1: Forget it.
Speaker 2: That uses computer vision to track when food items are
Speaker 2: running low and can advertise replacements. Let's see Amazon Doorbells
Speaker 2: once again, ring privacy alarms and a ray of new
Speaker 2: features for Amazon's ring doorbell camera won the worst in
Speaker 2: show for privacy, doubling down on invasion and supporting the
Speaker 2: misconception that more surveillance always makes us safer as far.
Speaker 1: As the ring doorbells go.
Speaker 2: I think the more surveillance just makes you get much
Speaker 2: better quality videos of your crap getting stolen. I'm just
Speaker 2: all your porch pirates show up in a nice little
Speaker 2: seven twenty to ten ADP, maybe even four k at cees.
Speaker 2: Among the new ring features is an AI Unusual Event Alert.
Speaker 2: It's supposed to detect unexpected people or happenings like the
Speaker 2: arrival of a pack of coyotes. I kind of don't
Speaker 2: hate that, Like, what are you saying exactly? You just
Speaker 2: get the video as somebody who just wants the video,
Speaker 2: like I want to see you. I want to see
Speaker 2: it happen. I don't know if I can necessarily do
Speaker 2: anything about it.
Speaker 3: Outside cat, you just have to watch a good ripped to.
Speaker 2: Pieces, right. But I don't have an outside cat, so
Speaker 2: I don't worry about that. It's just it's just whatever
Speaker 2: neighbor's dog decides to the door. When you go home today,
Speaker 2: wander over. You're gonna drop it outside, Cata hog.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to, but there's a box of gittens
Speaker 3: that need a front.
Speaker 2: Door to But I will say this, there was a
Speaker 2: night where and I think I showed you guys this video.
Speaker 2: There was a night where Ashley and I were just
Speaker 2: sitting on the couch and we got like a an
Speaker 2: alert from our front camera. And I don't know what
Speaker 2: made us decide to watch it, but there were like
Speaker 2: five raccoons under my car and normally, yes, there was
Speaker 2: a whole family of raccoons just emerging from underneath my truck.
Speaker 1: That's fun.
Speaker 2: And I thought, how lucky were we that we happened
Speaker 2: to hit the button. If I had this AI feature,
Speaker 2: the unusual event Alert.
Speaker 4: Pack of Raccoons Alert, Pack of raccoons.
Speaker 2: Alert, yeah, I would just I want a summary of
Speaker 2: everything it saw, and I could skip through all the
Speaker 2: delivery drivers delivering Ashley's crap and see, oh look, pack
Speaker 2: of coyotes. Family of raccoons. That says it includes facial recognition,
Speaker 2: they said of the new ring feature, mobile surveillance towers
Speaker 2: that can be deployed at parking lots and other places.
Speaker 2: And it includes oh good, an app store that lets
Speaker 2: people develop even sketchyr apps for the doorbell than the
Speaker 2: ones Amazon already provides.
Speaker 1: So fun.
Speaker 2: So just when you thought like your phone has an
Speaker 2: app store, we've gotten used to that your fridge has
Speaker 2: an app store.
Speaker 1: Don't know if we need that yet.
Speaker 2: Now your ring doorbell has an app store, probably why
Speaker 2: it's leaning itself towards Worston show at CES And then
Speaker 2: they say the AI Soulmate companion, the desk bound AI
Speaker 2: Soulmate is always watching your eyes, which sounds creepyaf winning
Speaker 2: the people's choice of worst products, which means not even
Speaker 2: the experts. All the people said, no, this is stupid,
Speaker 2: we don't want it. The AI companion called amy am I,
Speaker 2: made by Chinese company lip Pro, which mostly sells lamps
Speaker 2: and lighting technology, decides to veer over to a female
Speaker 2: avatar on a curve screen that's marketed as you're always
Speaker 2: on three D Soulmate. Can it do stuff for me
Speaker 2: and not like Soulmate stuff, just like secretary stuff, you know,
Speaker 2: give me some door dash or book some flights.
Speaker 4: Let me give it a massage.
Speaker 2: Uh, it would be an awkward massage a curve screen.
Speaker 2: But the Lepro didn't immediately respond to request for comment.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't if all the people at CEES said my
Speaker 2: thing was the stupidest AI amongst a sea of stupid Ais.
Speaker 1: What do you think? What sounds good.
Speaker 2: Do you think having some sort of AI companion to
Speaker 2: your doorbell cam would enhance your experience or do you
Speaker 2: just think it's time to leave it alone and let
Speaker 2: it do its job. You can join us with a
Speaker 2: dispatch at thenewsjunkie dot com. We've got the next episode
Speaker 2: coming up in a little bit. When we come back,
Speaker 2: we are going to talk about there's a crazy video
Speaker 2: out of Ukraine that I want to take a look at,
Speaker 2: just a sign of the times. And then there's a
Speaker 2: woman who sort of reminds me of the ready to
Speaker 2: Funnel Babe Chick, except she's taking it in a whole
Speaker 2: different way. We're going to find out exactly how that is.
Speaker 1: I it's a different way.
Speaker 3: To take it.
Speaker 5: Pause during one of those the food pyramids upside down
Speaker 5: now too, Yes, everything is upside down.
Speaker 2: We're going to find out about her and more. That's
Speaker 2: coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 3: I've watched everything on TV, so like, put this on
Speaker 3: the background and stop what I'm doing because that person's
Speaker 3: eating a mattress.
Speaker 2: We yeah, I remember. I think that was when the
Speaker 2: show that when it first came out, they had like
Speaker 2: a lady that was like addicted to eating toilet paper.
Speaker 2: But you just couldn't stop eating little strips of toilet paper.
Speaker 3: And there's some of them. I mean that I would say, Okay,
Speaker 3: that's not as bad, right, little strips of toilet paper.
Speaker 3: I'll take an a pack of toilet paper over some
Speaker 3: of the nastier like chewing on your own toenails.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 2: Feed drinkers too, on the on the show, there's drinkers.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, big time. So we famously if you haven't
Speaker 2: been with show long, we had an old clip that
Speaker 2: Sean used to play a lot where it was a
Speaker 2: woman who was so fat that she was pretty much
Speaker 2: confined to her couch and so for nourishment, her boyfriend
Speaker 2: would put a bunch of food in a blender and
Speaker 2: then funnel it into her fat mouth.
Speaker 1: And it was one of.
Speaker 2: He was for it to one of the Sure he
Speaker 2: was up for it.
Speaker 1: I liked it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but maybe you ready to funnel, babe?
Speaker 2: Ready the funnel? And that was the clip that we
Speaker 2: would play all the time, and then we.
Speaker 3: Would often.
Speaker 2: Take out a funnel for whatever reason. I don't know.
Speaker 3: If I'm just gonna have a nice flame Mignon, I'm
Speaker 3: like all right, baby, you're ready to funnel this.
Speaker 2: And you know, my wife has no idea what I'm
Speaker 2: talking about. She just kind of goes with it, like
Speaker 2: I guess I'm ready to funnel. I don't know.
Speaker 1: And so let's how you got a kid.
Speaker 2: There's this girl fun We tried that method.
Speaker 1: It didn't work.
Speaker 2: Uh. There was this woman on My Strange Addiction, which
Speaker 2: is a TLC show.
Speaker 1: Her name is Catherine.
Speaker 2: I think they left her last name out of this
Speaker 2: story for whatever reason, but she has as one would imagine,
Speaker 2: a strange addiction, and this one was. She says, my
Speaker 2: relationship with food was very normal until the point where
Speaker 2: I was in community college and it started with a
Speaker 2: dare to try snorting a flavored fruit drink.
Speaker 3: I know exactly who you were talking about.
Speaker 2: Really, you've seen this woman before.
Speaker 3: I saw the clip and I saw enough.
Speaker 2: She said, I got a head rush, but it was
Speaker 2: actually fruitier than if I was to have drink it
Speaker 2: through my mouth, and it was phenomenal. And since then,
Speaker 2: I've been having my entire diet nasally for about five years.
Speaker 2: And I just don't know if I believe that this
Speaker 2: is how she takes all her food with the cameras off,
Speaker 2: but you can see on screen here if you're watching
Speaker 2: on YouTube or twitch dot com, Twitch dot tv, slash
Speaker 2: the news junk excuse me that we have the blender
Speaker 2: over here where she's just blended up a bunch of food.
Speaker 1: It looks like there might be some.
Speaker 2: Guacamole going on here, and she says that all of
Speaker 2: her everything she consumes, she does through her nose.
Speaker 3: So when she does cocaine, she eats it.
Speaker 1: That would be the ultimate irony.
Speaker 2: That means she's sniffing blended omelets with spinach and mushrooms,
Speaker 2: liquefied spinach and steak coffee, and even spicy guacamole.
Speaker 3: Not good for you, No, not at all.
Speaker 2: She confessed she has an aversion to the weird textures
Speaker 2: that come with food and claims that her curious culinary
Speaker 2: conduct nice helps her avoid overeating and choking, declaring that
Speaker 2: it really has no drawbacks, which doctors one hundred percent
Speaker 2: would disagree with. The also not to mention it's off
Speaker 2: putting to her friends, family members, and potential like suitors,
Speaker 2: and I guess in this episode of My Strange Addiction,
Speaker 2: they follow her along on a date and like.
Speaker 4: That's the clip that I saw.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the guy looked very I mean, I guess I
Speaker 3: can understand.
Speaker 2: This is where I think like it might be put on.
Speaker 2: They're like, okay, it was.
Speaker 4: Very put on.
Speaker 3: The guy that was like, hey, what the heck are
Speaker 3: you doing?
Speaker 1: I cannot believe you.
Speaker 4: You can't be serious.
Speaker 2: So Catherine, what the effort you're doing that? Justin asked? Uh?
Speaker 2: He brought her flowers and she presented her problem almost immediately.
Speaker 2: When they were ordering, she asked the server, are you
Speaker 2: able to blend the food?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: Come, there's no way that this is how you do
Speaker 2: every meal, or you just wouldn't go out, or you
Speaker 2: would only go to smoothie places. You just ask if
Speaker 2: they're able to blend the food.
Speaker 3: Well, if they have to make some sort of mobile
Speaker 3: bleunder at this point, right.
Speaker 1: You could have you might be at Cees next year, trademark.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, we do not have a blender, this said the server,
Speaker 2: But we do have grits, tomato soup, and our in
Speaker 2: house vegetarian sausage gravy. Catherine selected the grits because she
Speaker 2: was assured that they could fit through a straw.
Speaker 3: Make really good grits, or yeah, you don't want watery
Speaker 3: straw like grits.
Speaker 1: You want like a good richness.
Speaker 4: I mean, I hear you.
Speaker 3: I also wonder are we running out of people that
Speaker 3: have strange addictions?
Speaker 1: Yes, we have to be running out of people strange addictions.
Speaker 3: Wants to make it because I don't I don't want
Speaker 3: to like pull back the curtain too much. But there's
Speaker 3: certain people who have now A or B list celebrity
Speaker 3: status that had their first like go around on TV
Speaker 3: on shows like this where they were on reality quote
Speaker 3: unquote TV shows, and it was clearly very set up
Speaker 3: because a Lady Gaga, like Room Raiders or something.
Speaker 2: Like that, was she That show was so stupid Room Raiders.
Speaker 4: I loved it.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, it's like, here's this black light, let's see
Speaker 3: where you juiced.
Speaker 1: There was one I think I've said this on the
Speaker 1: show before.
Speaker 3: I had three other words that went through my head
Speaker 3: that I can't them right.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, there was there was an episode of
Speaker 2: Room Raiders. I don't know if there's anybody out there
Speaker 2: who doesn't remember Room Raiders. Room Raiders was like a
Speaker 2: essentially a dating show without the date, but they would
Speaker 2: like they would take three potential suitors and just rip
Speaker 2: them out of bed and leave their room as is
Speaker 2: definitely not plant stuff out there for people to find,
Speaker 2: and then the person had to pick who they want
Speaker 2: to go on a date with based on what they
Speaker 2: find in their room.
Speaker 1: I remember that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was it was. It was show when they
Speaker 2: were this was their transition to all reality stuff.
Speaker 1: But it was always just way over blown.
Speaker 3: And they had a briefcase in giant tweezers.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a black light.
Speaker 3: Yes, the black light is always for the girls to
Speaker 3: use in the guy's room.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and apparently you guys go everywhere.
Speaker 2: But the one moment that always stuck out a man
Speaker 2: for Room Raiders was this woman that was going through
Speaker 2: this guy's room and she found a can of chewing
Speaker 2: tobacco like dip. She found a can of dip, and
Speaker 2: she goes, uh, absolutely not. I would rather eat pooh
Speaker 2: than kiss a guy who dips. I went got into
Speaker 2: your head, bitch.
Speaker 3: Will take the dip.
Speaker 2: You're gonna eat the poop or kiss this guy.
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna have to compromise a little bit.
Speaker 3: And by that I mean kiss the Yeah, kiss the guy.
Speaker 1: Not gonna eat poop.
Speaker 4: But it's a very close second.
Speaker 1: But anyway, how about this.
Speaker 3: Too nasty pose something it's way too nasty, but a
Speaker 3: real quick cup of dip spit okay or size poop.
Speaker 11: You have to do.
Speaker 1: You have to drink the whole cup.
Speaker 3: I have a cup. God three?
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, I have to go. She's anyway, Catherine on
Speaker 2: My Strange Addiction. She says she promised on the show
Speaker 2: she's going to try her best to stop snorting her food.
Speaker 2: Not exactly sure how she's going to go about it,
Speaker 2: but I'm going to try to begin taking baby steps
Speaker 2: even today, and Catherine told The New York Post she
Speaker 2: has cut back, not stopped completely.
Speaker 1: Why would that be the thing?
Speaker 2: Can't go? She is cut back since filming the episode.
Speaker 2: As for the guy she tried to date, he friend
Speaker 2: zoned her. Unfortunately for Catherine, you know, I just wonder
Speaker 2: if like they turned the cameras off and she turns
Speaker 2: you know, she calls the guy back and goes, hey,
Speaker 2: I eat food just like normal people do.
Speaker 1: And you know this was just for TV. You want
Speaker 1: to hang.
Speaker 2: Out, maybe have some sex later. I'll make up for
Speaker 2: the weird snorting thing with the black lives other talents.
Speaker 2: But I don't know that's the weird thing. But I'm
Speaker 2: fan fiction here. I think I need to I need
Speaker 2: to remember Sabrina that when I get done with all
Speaker 2: the other internets, to go back to this strange addiction thing,
Speaker 2: because it is at least a magnifying you.
Speaker 4: Feel better about yourself.
Speaker 2: That's what the HBO drug documentaries used to make me do.
Speaker 3: And then I wanted drugs, but.
Speaker 2: No, my strange addiction. Check out Catherine and her snorting
Speaker 2: thing if you want to when we come back after
Speaker 2: the break the next episode with Sabrina. What's coming up
Speaker 2: on the next episode?
Speaker 3: Thank you for asking what's coming periode one. Rappers starting
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six off with a bang, and by bang,
Speaker 3: I mean early release from prison this week, and sure,
Speaker 3: why not? He's Johnny Knoxville and welcome to exposing and
Speaker 3: or damage genitals in four K twenty six plus. Want
Speaker 3: to play a game? Furthermore, want to play a game
Speaker 3: of a game and a game. I'll then so much
Speaker 3: more coming up on the next episode.
Speaker 2: And that is coming up next on the news Junkie,
Speaker 2: Let's get to some of your dispatches real quick. I
Speaker 2: know you've been sending those in. People have been chiming
Speaker 2: in about all kinds of stuff. Today. A lot of
Speaker 2: people talk about that front loader or bulldozer. Did we
Speaker 2: I don't know if we ever figured out what exactly
Speaker 2: that thing was.
Speaker 1: We don't know.
Speaker 2: But as it turns out, they might actually be as
Speaker 2: easy to hot wire as it made it sound. All
Speaker 2: the news here is concrete Mic with a dispatch. What's
Speaker 2: going on? Seilane and company.
Speaker 20: You can go on Amazon and order a key ring
Speaker 20: that comes with anywhere from twenty to forty different keys
Speaker 20: for all.
Speaker 2: Types of machinery that sounds safe. Went to a concrete
Speaker 2: twenty nine years.
Speaker 20: I have a key for almost every machine out there,
Speaker 20: and they are all the same. All Cat keys, all
Speaker 20: Bobcat keys, Takahuchis, Kamatsu's Bulvo.
Speaker 10: They all use the same key for their particular brands.
Speaker 20: So if you have one of them keys for one
Speaker 20: of them machines, you can start any machine you want to.
Speaker 2: That sounds like a dangerous thing to have. After like
Speaker 2: a handful of beers and you know you're across the
Speaker 2: street from a construction site. You big concrete mic out there,
Speaker 2: get into some trouble. Let's see funny name has the
Speaker 2: dispatch on the same thing.
Speaker 10: Hey guys, Happy day, Happy New Year.
Speaker 2: Thank you an operator here.
Speaker 8: If you have a caterpillar key, you have a key
Speaker 8: to every caterpillar. You have a John Deere key, you
Speaker 8: have a key to every John Deere. The equipment all
Speaker 8: shares the same key. The only difference could be is
Speaker 8: if it had a uh, the keypad.
Speaker 2: For the ignition.
Speaker 8: Other than that, if it's a keyed machine, I've got
Speaker 8: a key ring that's good. That will start almost any
Speaker 8: piece of equipment.
Speaker 1: This is just universal.
Speaker 2: It's universally known for those types of things that are happening.
Speaker 2: So I guess, uh, if you have construction equipment, it
Speaker 2: is quite vulnerable. Or if even if you don't have
Speaker 2: the key, you can hot wire it like that guy
Speaker 2: did in Nevada and just go to town on a
Speaker 2: couple of police cars. Don't recommend it, though. Let's get
Speaker 2: into it. Though you ready, Sabrina, I'm ready. Let's do
Speaker 2: the next episode. Because there's a lot on TV.
Speaker 13: You can't possibly keep up with all of it, even
Speaker 13: though you should, because what else are you going to
Speaker 13: talk about?
Speaker 2: The the the the.
Speaker 15: Back door mom, the back door mom, the back door mom,
Speaker 15: the back door mom, the back door mom.
Speaker 2: All right, the back door Mop. I've done something for morning.
Speaker 2: The door mom, the backdoor mom.
Speaker 13: It's time for the next episode with Sabrina.
Speaker 3: We have fun except.

Speaker 3: sixty seven years ago, nineteen fifty nine. This show right
Speaker 3: here premiered on CPS. Clint Eastwood, Right.
Speaker 2: Rod and right Ye.
Speaker 3: Pilgrim. Clint Eastwood played rowdy yates, a cow hand and
Speaker 3: a cattle drive.
Speaker 2: Was he no, I'm thinking of the wrong guy.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, was he a cold dead hands guy?
Speaker 2: But I think that's Charlton Heston.
Speaker 4: Let me look at my notes.
Speaker 3: No idea attack you.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but we'll go with yes if it.
Speaker 2: Makes you the famous like NRA statement was like you
Speaker 2: can have my gun when you pry it from my
Speaker 2: cold dead hands.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Correct, that second one. It's like I got two
Speaker 3: things on the list to day, kicking ass and taking names,
Speaker 3: and I'm done taking names? Is that how it went?
Speaker 2: Something like that, Pilgrim.
Speaker 3: Well, let's go into twenty twenty six and happy anniversary
Speaker 3: to raw Hide. Oh, let's say hello to this guy
Speaker 3: right here. Did not get the raw end of the deal. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Betty Wap is right, and let's do the math here
Speaker 3: seventeen minus thirty eight and yep, he is now being
Speaker 3: released early style from prison three years early to be
Speaker 3: exact in the drug trafficking case. First question, did you
Speaker 3: guys remember that he was in jail?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 2: I remember if Fetty Wap was that he stood us
Speaker 2: up at.
Speaker 1: The first year.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: And the other thing I remembered is that he only
Speaker 3: has one eye.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, he has re emerged and he's thanking fans
Speaker 3: for their unwavering support. Not us. Obviously, we had no
Speaker 3: idea that he was out or in, the Bureau of Prisons,
Speaker 3: said Fetty was transferred to home confinement in Philly. He's
Speaker 3: scheduled to be fully released from oversight custody in November
Speaker 3: of this year. He will have to undergo strict and
Speaker 3: supervise guidelines for the next five years now that he's free,
Speaker 3: which includes drug testing. Oh, prohibited from opening any new
Speaker 3: bank accounts.
Speaker 4: Oh, he does have to get approved.
Speaker 2: His old bank accounts.
Speaker 3: I hope. So.
Speaker 4: Do you think his PIN is seventeen thirty eight?
Speaker 1: It has.
Speaker 3: He also has to keep the US Probation Departments that
Speaker 3: I do not get.
Speaker 4: That's how he starts his song.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's the producer that always does his being. He's
Speaker 3: also not allowed to consume any alcohol or other intoxicants
Speaker 3: unless granted a prescription by licensed physician.
Speaker 1: Alcohol prescription, Yeah, to have.
Speaker 3: Two blue balls or nuts, not it buzzball.
Speaker 2: During prohibition, that's the only way you could get whiskey.
Speaker 2: You had to get your doctor to prescribe it.
Speaker 1: And uh, it's like weed now.
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely was to go to the Fund States, of course,
Speaker 3: and someone who had, I guess is having a rough
Speaker 3: go at it. But then when someone found out and
Speaker 3: started to go fund me, that same person was like,
Speaker 3: I'm fine, please don't send me money. If I remember correctly,
Speaker 3: Mickey Rourke had said he would rather put a gun
Speaker 3: where the sundome shine.
Speaker 2: Yes, except.
Speaker 3: We're accepting money from anyone. But since all that went down,
Speaker 3: this GoFundMe that raised over one hundred thousand dollars for
Speaker 3: Mickey Rourke, who was apparently going to be evicted, but
Speaker 3: then he didn't accept the money. He is now getting
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of opportunities headed his way.
Speaker 4: And he's not.
Speaker 2: Exact that.
Speaker 3: Plugs of some sort. I have no idea, But he's
Speaker 3: also denying any new work in Hollywood for some reason.
Speaker 3: He's down on his luck and he's not rushing back
Speaker 3: to work.
Speaker 2: For what so big change for him.
Speaker 3: Let me say that one more time.
Speaker 2: Did nothing cancel?
Speaker 11: I guess not.
Speaker 3: His manager, Kimberly Hines, over the past week, he's been
Speaker 3: getting a florry of job offers, ranging from indie films
Speaker 3: to photo shoots to live appearances the signings. In fact,
Speaker 3: she's received six offers for Mickey in just two days.
Speaker 4: But he is not interested.
Speaker 22: So this is.

Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: Super villains are putting that together and just a whole
Speaker 2: that like, uh, we never heard of. It would take
Speaker 2: us the whole segment to list all the bands that

Speaker 2: more to choose from. Can read them and weep so
Speaker 2: many bands I'm weeping and thank you.
Speaker 1: Stop weeping.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna stop weeping and start reading this story.
Speaker 5: And we start This Week in Florida in our very
Speaker 5: own Orange County, Okay, where two have been arrested in
Speaker 5: an axe attack ambush. Deputies say Nicholas Lavallee twenty years
Speaker 5: old and Anne asked Excel, excuse me, twenty nine, let's describe.
Speaker 2: I do think she's going to be that bad at
Speaker 2: you forgetting her name wrong, but it could be she
Speaker 2: is the type that if she's mad, ax attack so exactly,
Speaker 2: maybe give maybe give it another and Excel.
Speaker 5: These two are accused of working with at least two
Speaker 5: other people to rob and batter the victim, whom the
Speaker 5: couple reportedly enticed to the apartment complex with a series
Speaker 5: of false messages from Excel's Instagram, and what deputies said
Speaker 5: they learned was a tag team effort between Lavallee and
Speaker 5: Excel Okay. It was noted in the documents that the
Speaker 5: victim had begun messaging Xcel about two weeks prior, during
Speaker 5: which time a person identifying himself as her partner intervened
Speaker 5: and told the victim to stop reaching out, which he did.
Speaker 5: That was the case until the victim began to receive
Speaker 5: false messages on December twenty ninth, which sought to convey
Speaker 5: AXL was newly single and looking for company.
Speaker 2: Whoa come on over all?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 5: The victim then right text yeah, well it gets better,
Speaker 5: the victims it was it was an Instagram.
Speaker 1: DM, booty DM, Booty DM.
Speaker 5: The victim received the booty DM and then arrived at
Speaker 5: the apartments on Emily Loop around eleven thirty pm, telling
Speaker 5: deputies that he then followed Axl up the stairs after
Speaker 5: she descended them dressed in lingerie. And I'm just picturing
Speaker 5: like one of those outdoor apartment complexes where everyone could
Speaker 5: see this happening.
Speaker 3: Right, and their trash is outside because it's getting picked
Speaker 3: up the next stoor, that's right.
Speaker 5: But as they were about to reach the third floor,
Speaker 5: the victim said he encountered a man with a gun
Speaker 5: telling him not to move, adding he recognized the individual
Speaker 5: as Axel's partner. The victim then ran back downstairs, where
Speaker 5: there were two other males waiting for him, one holding
Speaker 5: an axe and the other holding a knife. The victim
Speaker 5: was putting a choke hold, got away, started running, then
Speaker 5: slowed down to ask the axe handler what they were
Speaker 5: going to do to him. Okay, so I don't know
Speaker 5: why he stopped running.
Speaker 2: This sounds like something that would procure some extra charges
Speaker 2: because if you went through the motions of texting this
Speaker 2: guy to bring him over only to ambush him, it's
Speaker 2: more than just like regular ass assault.
Speaker 3: That's premeditated AF.
Speaker 2: Yes, right, they robbed him. He asked what the premeditated AF,
Speaker 2: and then aggravated premeditated AF.
Speaker 5: The guy with the axe hit him over the head
Speaker 5: with the blunt end of the ax. He survived, luckily, obviously,
Speaker 5: or we wouldn't have the story. Lava Lely and Axl
Speaker 5: were arrested to face charges of robbery with firearm, grand
Speaker 5: theft of a motor vehicle, battery, and aggravated battery with
Speaker 5: a deadly weapon. The victim's car was found abandoned in
Speaker 5: the nine thousand block of Nelson Park Circle.
Speaker 1: Like I'm supposed to know where that is?
Speaker 2: Hell a circle?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nelson Parker, correct.
Speaker 22: It.
Speaker 1: And this is also kind of a circle related story.
Speaker 5: A Disney performer injured by a large prop boulder during
Speaker 5: the Indiana Jones Epics.
Speaker 2: Did you guys see this video? No, it's insane.
Speaker 3: Hang on me, then I've seen what they've changed.
Speaker 2: Since I haven't seen what they've changed from the show.
Speaker 1: Read a little bit more about I want to find it.
Speaker 5: Josh, a performer in the Indiana Jones Epics Stunt Spectacular show,
Speaker 5: was injured during a recent show at Disney's Hollywood Studios
Speaker 5: when a large prop boulder moved off of its track.
Speaker 1: According to Disney spokesperson.
Speaker 3: Mind you, this show has been around for many a
Speaker 3: year's oh yeah, and kind of staple of the show
Speaker 3: is that moment, because it's a big moment in the
Speaker 3: film franchise.
Speaker 1: Corrects like the coolest part.
Speaker 4: And after all these years, finally someone gets.
Speaker 1: The boulder, finally got one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I don't need like the eleven
Speaker 2: minute you're you got a theme park blog, you're explaining
Speaker 2: it to me. Where is going to make you won't
Speaker 2: believe what happens? All right, let me see if this
Speaker 2: and maybe you could hear that. I don't even know
Speaker 2: if we should play the audio flow.
Speaker 4: But maybe not.
Speaker 2: All right, you see the bulley about to come down.
Speaker 4: It's a good angle too.
Speaker 1: It's not the angle I like, but it's it's good enough.
Speaker 2: Here it comes, so the boulders off the track and
Speaker 2: a hero comes up to save everybody.
Speaker 19: And then.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you've ever seen someone get hit in
Speaker 3: the face with the giant ball like is there was
Speaker 3: no stopping his fall. He just went from straight up
Speaker 3: ninety degrees to one.
Speaker 2: And as far as like removing the magic from stuff,
Speaker 2: I kind of know right watching this show that it's
Speaker 2: not a real heavy boulder, but watching it bounce like
Speaker 2: a giant like dodgeball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's still hurt.
Speaker 2: Clear, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: It not that it wasn't for his face stopping that boulder.
Speaker 3: It probably would have heard some audience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have been right into the crowd. Kind
Speaker 2: of would have been fun. I would have liked to
Speaker 2: He's a he's a hero to die. I want to
Speaker 2: put it on see it now.
Speaker 5: Disney says, we're focused on supporting our cast member who
Speaker 5: is recovering. Safety is at the heart of what we do,
Speaker 5: and that element of the show will be modified. And uh,
Speaker 5: after that, they canceled a few shows and now the
Speaker 5: boulder is not there at the moment.
Speaker 11: From uh, the.
Speaker 2: Ideas dangerous what they've done. Yeah, that is correct.

Speaker 5: at Grant's home for about two months, and according to
Speaker 5: a probable cause affidavit, the two men began arguing over
Speaker 5: several issues, including the victims claim that his dog died
Speaker 5: after eating a sex toy.
Speaker 1: Something he blamed Don Grant. They don't They don't tell
Speaker 1: you what kind of sex toy?
Speaker 3: Is it remote control eating?
Speaker 5: We don't know the dogs, so yeah, I might have
Speaker 5: just sharp plastic bits or something.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about me, worry about this dog that's dead, babe.
Speaker 1: I just went to the store and I brought home
Speaker 1: sharp plastic hits. We're gonna have a good night.

Speaker 2: Thank you, Josh, You're welcome. Excellent job doing this Week
Speaker 2: in Florida. Ten out of ten? What have you do
Speaker 2: it again?
Speaker 3: That was slut.
Speaker 2: Every time we read those roundups of the license plates,
Speaker 2: I always think of like a couple that I've seen
Speaker 2: that how did they make it through that particular like discretion,
Speaker 2: because because I've seen one that says foo bar, which
Speaker 2: I don't know why you ever want to drive a
Speaker 2: motor vehicle with a license plate that says that you
Speaker 2: would be fed up beyond all recognition.
Speaker 1: One that says s H T.
Speaker 2: Z S I K or something like that, which seems
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. And then our friend just uh sent us
Speaker 2: one that made made the cut m F Forever, m
Speaker 2: F for E V E R. So good for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's nice, Thank you, good job, Josh.
Speaker 2: This week in Florida, and we got so much more
Speaker 2: to get to Jerry duties coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 2: Got an update on some stories we've talked about throughout
Speaker 2: Actually one of them it seems like it's not that old,
Speaker 2: but two years ago that kind of jump started all
Speaker 2: this plane business that we've been talking about as of
Speaker 2: recent And we got to talk about the man with
Speaker 2: the Smallest penis. We I teased it earlier, and I
Speaker 2: totally forgot about this week in Florida, and uh we
Speaker 2: got to get to that as we uh move on
Speaker 2: with a Friday show. All that plus your dispatches. You
Speaker 2: can send him into the news Junkie dot com. Those
Speaker 2: are coming up next on the News Junkie. And I've
Speaker 2: teased this guy a couple of times, and I mean
Speaker 2: a lot of people probably tease this guy because this
Speaker 2: poor fellaw Michael Phillips of North Carolina, he was unaware
Speaker 2: growing up that he had a medical condition where his
Speaker 2: penis is significantly smaller than the average sized penis and
Speaker 2: he has in front he's not much of for him,
Speaker 2: but he has gone on. I don't know why he
Speaker 2: decided to go overseas. Maybe he lives in the UK,
Speaker 2: but it says he's from North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's bigger over there.
Speaker 2: No, he's not.
Speaker 4: Their health insurance is much easier.
Speaker 1: Stretches.
Speaker 2: But uh, and the guy went straight on TV to
Speaker 2: talk about his really tiny, tiny wang.
Speaker 1: So let's listen into what he's got to say right now.
Speaker 19: Then, here at this morning, we've never shied away from
Speaker 19: tackling real life matters for you.
Speaker 22: We're talking about what might be the last taboo.
Speaker 23: With the average UK penis size around five point two.
Speaker 1: All right, ready they have on the graphics.
Speaker 2: They have prepared for you what the average penis size
Speaker 2: is five point two inches in the UK.
Speaker 1: That's generous, and then wait to see what his.
Speaker 23: Is is up to just zero point three eight inches
Speaker 23: for comparison.
Speaker 2: Less than half. It says he has less than half
Speaker 2: an inch for a penis.
Speaker 1: I think that lady wrestler China had a bigger one.
Speaker 3: It's funny regular berries.
Speaker 2: Uh, that would be weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe he gets into that because it does say like
Speaker 2: that's the only thing he's gonna to do. It sounds
Speaker 2: like he has to exactly, he has to sit to
Speaker 2: pe He cannot do anything else when I like don't
Speaker 2: feel like standing, you know, but not I do it
Speaker 2: because I want to, not because I have to.
Speaker 1: This guy has to ingrat.
Speaker 22: That's about the size of garden pay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh my god, that was awful. The size of
Speaker 3: a garden p.
Speaker 2: I have, I have a couple. I have a list
Speaker 2: of things that it's the size of. We get to
Speaker 2: in a second.
Speaker 23: Here eight inches for comparison, that's about the size of
Speaker 23: garden pay.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 22: Thirty eight year old Michael Phillips was.
Speaker 2: Look, I've said this guy, you just set him up
Speaker 2: with the whole garden peek comparison and he's just sitting there.
Speaker 2: He's got some tattoos. He's not the worst looking guy,
Speaker 2: but I mean, when did you he looks like young
Speaker 2: Steve Wozniak.
Speaker 19: Kind of micro penis in twenty twenty four, which he
Speaker 19: believes could well be the smallest in the world.
Speaker 2: I never wanted on TV.
Speaker 22: Injections to see if that can help.
Speaker 23: But while they proved unsuccessful, Michael wants to help other
Speaker 23: men feel better about their own bodies.
Speaker 1: I talked over that.
Speaker 2: They said that he has tried fat injections to help
Speaker 2: out the size of his member, and I don't know
Speaker 2: where the fat went, but it didn't go where he
Speaker 2: wanted it to.
Speaker 23: So let's hearing good morning, good morning, thank you, thank
Speaker 23: you so much. We've been talking about this and it's
Speaker 23: so important here and you're sitting on the couch and
Speaker 23: you're prepared to talk about it. Why is it so
Speaker 23: important to you, Well, I.
Speaker 6: Guess because it should be like known that it's a
Speaker 6: medical condition that can cause it, and that if more
Speaker 6: people wrong.
Speaker 3: Carpet matching the drapes much.
Speaker 1: Saying he's got a small personality, then hopefully has a
Speaker 1: big car.
Speaker 6: Addition, when they're younger, that they could be taken and
Speaker 6: seen by a doctor and hopefully get treatment that would
Speaker 6: actually provide some some level of help.
Speaker 22: Because by the time he.
Speaker 2: Sounds kind of like what was that Netflix series? No,
Speaker 2: doesn't sound boring, he doesn't sound it sounds like having
Speaker 2: a micro penis is the only thing this guy has
Speaker 2: going for him, which is just the worst luck.
Speaker 3: But you're talking to him like he's a toddler.
Speaker 21: I think toddler's like, oh, little baby penis guy, and uh,
Speaker 21: go ahead and uh but no, he said what was
Speaker 21: the Netflix docuseries?
Speaker 3: Like went around the world to make his penis bigger?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no. The way he talks,
Speaker 2: he sounds like one of the guys that was like
Speaker 2: in that backwoods community where the.
Speaker 4: Wild whites of the West Virginian.
Speaker 2: No, he murdered somebody and then like burned the body
Speaker 2: and the murder.
Speaker 6: Come on.
Speaker 4: Wrestling. He loves wrestling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was super into wrestling and oh making a murderer. Yes,
Speaker 2: he sounds like Steven Avery or Steven Avery's brother when
Speaker 2: he talks.
Speaker 1: Just got that kind of.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Just why make sure that people know that they could
Speaker 2: see a doctor if they got a real italanic penis.
Speaker 19: He got diagnosed, and you actually spoke to a medical professional.
Speaker 19: They explained, unfortunately it's too late for them to help
Speaker 19: with medical intervention.
Speaker 22: How did that make you feel when you found that out?
Speaker 2: Oh, it did make me.
Speaker 6: Feel very good because that was one of the main
Speaker 6: reasons why I went to the doctor, to see if
Speaker 6: there was anything I could do to make it bigger.
Speaker 6: No way, But what is available doesn't doesn't really provide much.
Speaker 23: It's so difficult as well, I think because it's kind
Speaker 23: of the moment that you discover that and knowledge is
Speaker 23: power and then you can go and get some help.
Speaker 23: When did you first start to realize that you had
Speaker 23: a mind blow?
Speaker 6: Part here, I would say probably around high school Jesus
Speaker 6: and dealing with like girlfriends and stuff like that. But
Speaker 6: I was always like under the belief They're like, maybe
Speaker 6: like I'm a late bloomer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe one day.
Speaker 1: Normal so awake, I feel like she's she's trying not
Speaker 1: to laugh.
Speaker 2: It has to be one of the people on this
Speaker 2: show that they corresponded with later on we are on
Speaker 2: right now. No, no, no, no, one of the people
Speaker 2: not that we've seen in this video, not that they're
Speaker 2: sitting on the couch. But later they talk to somebody
Speaker 2: who's like a regular on this morning show overseas, whose
Speaker 2: name is Lorraine Something. They were coming at this woman
Speaker 2: because she was laughing at the micro penis guy, and
Speaker 2: they were like, how dare you? That is so unprofessional
Speaker 2: to laugh at this guy's micro penis. He's thirty eight
Speaker 2: years old. He says that he was recently diagnosed. So
Speaker 2: he figured out in high school and he thought, late Bloomer,
Speaker 2: you know, nature will run its course and eventually I'll
Speaker 2: have a nice big penis. But no, he didn't happen,
Speaker 2: and he just got diagnosed with having this micro penis.
Speaker 2: Zero point three to eight inches is like fascinatingly small.
Speaker 2: It's it's ridiculous. It's if you wanted to combine, compare
Speaker 2: it to a few things more than just a garden
Speaker 2: p you okay there now, what's wrong?
Speaker 1: Okay something, he's now.
Speaker 2: The items that are surprisingly close to being point three
Speaker 2: eight inches include the diameter of a standard wooden pencil,
Speaker 2: a double a battery terminal button, which is the raised
Speaker 2: nub of just that part, small headphone jack plug, the
Speaker 2: housing not the tip, the width of a USBC connector,
Speaker 2: a small marble or a standard coffee stir straw.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: And then that's so depressing, grated oral or something.
Speaker 4: Also, this is my voice now for the rest of
Speaker 4: the show.
Speaker 23: Cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I've got a green pepper lodged in my
Speaker 3: own green pepper, which is bigger than that guy's penis.
Speaker 2: When I told chat GBT why I was asking for
Speaker 2: these comparisons, that said, let's talk about this carefully and medically,
Speaker 2: not jokingly or sensationally too late for that. In medicine,
Speaker 2: and microp is defined as a stretch length that is
Speaker 2: more than two point five standard deviations below the average
Speaker 2: for age.
Speaker 3: How many people in Oh my god, it's getting worse.
Speaker 2: You need some water, You need water, you're out it? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you got How often do you know what?
Speaker 3: Josh? Can you ask him how often people have this?
Speaker 4: Or like, what are the stats when it comes.
Speaker 1: To how often?
Speaker 2: What are the stats when it comes to micro peni
Speaker 2: It says in medical literature, adult penises under one inch
Speaker 2: are virtually unheard of outside of severe congenital disorders, intersex conditions,
Speaker 2: major trauma, surgical loss, or what chat GPT thinks is
Speaker 2: the most likely culprit incorrect measurement and chat GBT basically saying,
Speaker 2: if someone claims they have a zero point three to
Speaker 2: eight inch diagnosis, it's almost certainly inaccurate or misunderstood.
Speaker 1: Mostly on this guy a liar.
Speaker 2: Chat GBT is calling him a says, most likely explanation,
Speaker 2: he meant three point eight inches, very common decimal mistake.
Speaker 2: He measured incorrectly, not stretch measuring only visual tissue, cold state,
Speaker 2: et cetera. He misunderstood his doctor, or he is exaggerating
Speaker 2: for shock value, which is unfortunately common online. This guy
Speaker 2: doesn't look like he's the shock value type. This guy
Speaker 2: looks like a sad sack who's all sack.
Speaker 19: To have an impact and that was gonna happen, and
Speaker 19: Danny never did just never did.
Speaker 22: He just never did. Did you speak to your parents
Speaker 22: about it?
Speaker 2: No, I'm adopted.
Speaker 1: Okay, what the adopted parents don't count as his parents?
Speaker 2: Well, I think.
Speaker 3: Because his adopted dad was perfectly.
Speaker 5: If he tracks down his biological dad and he finds
Speaker 5: out it's like it runs in the family.
Speaker 1: If it runs in the family, how does he have
Speaker 1: a biological dad?
Speaker 19: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, this guy, this guy's had problems, you know, doesn't
Speaker 2: stops wrong.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't that fix that?
Speaker 2: Uh? If it?
Speaker 1: If it would have, this wouldn't have been the time
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: I guess we'll get great at oral sex, but we
Speaker 3: want to go on the UK TV show for it.
Speaker 2: What his doctor said, well, he's on the UK TV
Speaker 2: show because he wants to raise awareness about his condition.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't and I would just keep that to myself.
Speaker 2: Maybe just get good at the thing that you said,
Speaker 2: do the thing that Sabrina said, not go on TV
Speaker 2: because that is he doesn't look like he's got Let
Speaker 2: see if there's I was adopted, have a lot going
Speaker 2: for him. I see, if there's one more thing in here,
Speaker 2: come on, maybe.
Speaker 6: Really talk to him about stuff he didn't.
Speaker 22: Have a chance to share that with somebody that would
Speaker 22: have known you as well. And what sort of impact
Speaker 22: did that have on you?
Speaker 19: Then, Michael is a teenager and in your twenties, when
Speaker 19: everybody's out there, all your mates are out there and
Speaker 19: they're meeting other people and they're exploring life and sexuality.
Speaker 6: I'm just more like keeping it to myself. Like whereas
Speaker 6: like I was younger and stuff like that, I tried
Speaker 6: to like keep to myself. I was always like single,
Speaker 6: even though I had friends, they probably wondered why I
Speaker 6: wasn't dating, and I just I just didn't want to
Speaker 6: go through that.
Speaker 1: Well, keeping it to yourself.
Speaker 3: Thank you for your transparency.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, poor if you have the opportunity, would
Speaker 2: you look at this guy's penis?
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, googlement right now.
Speaker 1: I want to know if he's being truthful about it.
Speaker 2: We wanted you want to put it next to a ruler, Yes.
Speaker 3: The lady in your life, or even if that's not
Speaker 3: a lover, just a lady friend of yours. Everyone Like
Speaker 3: I would say two out of five women have encountered
Speaker 3: a micro penis.
Speaker 1: I have a very good friend that uh has dated
Speaker 1: a guy they had one.
Speaker 4: I'm sure they have a great personality.
Speaker 1: It's a great story for her.
Speaker 3: So well, yeah, but you know, uh, don't let that
Speaker 3: stop you from dating or whatever.
Speaker 11: Guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because all right, there's a couple of micropanes that
Speaker 3: listen to the show.
Speaker 2: I'm sure, Well, poor Michael Till basically with the micro penis,
Speaker 2: we got Moses DeWitt coming in and we're going to
Speaker 2: find a place for him to hang out with us
Speaker 2: and answer some of our questions that we have a
Speaker 2: crude over the past week or so, and you your
Speaker 2: dispatchers are coming up on the show.
Speaker 1: All that and more is coming up next on the
Speaker 1: News Junkie.
Speaker 11: Called the bailiff over to whip your ass. You're knowing
Speaker 11: jury duty with the News Junkie, And.
Speaker 2: Let's welcome Moses to wait at the Duet law firm. Hello,
Speaker 2: just CALLMO dot com. You're on the go. Just CALLMO.

Speaker 2: How you doing good? Nice to see you. I said,
Speaker 2: thus to have a guest in here.
Speaker 4: Let's give him a chair.
Speaker 2: Huh, doesn't know what's happened? I mean, I didn't know
Speaker 2: where a chair that goes up this highway?
Speaker 20: Bring up?
Speaker 1: He said?
Speaker 2: He said he was gonna sit on Fowler's lap.
Speaker 1: I thought he did say that.
Speaker 2: Then you throw and assume me for sexual harassment.
Speaker 1: It would be his lawyer.
Speaker 3: Maybe wait, he can see you, even though Josh is
Speaker 3: the one giving you a massage.
Speaker 2: What I don't know what's going on here?
Speaker 1: Oh? Kiss your neck too. Well.
Speaker 2: We thank you for coming in, buddy. It's good to
Speaker 2: see you. How are your holidays? How was your break?
Speaker 2: Oh they're good.
Speaker 9: Whenever the Bahamas for a little bit, and then when
Speaker 9: I went up to Utah for a little bit.
Speaker 2: I think there was some point at which I was
Speaker 2: texting with Sean because I was bored and tracking his
Speaker 2: cruise ship that he was about five ish miles off
Speaker 2: the coast of Hopetown where you were. I was like, oh, man,
Speaker 2: I wonder if you texted Moses he could go to
Speaker 2: the beach and wave. I'm well offended. He didn't say hello,
Speaker 2: you know, he's wave. He said he was texting with
Speaker 2: you that day, and I was like, buddy, you guys
Speaker 2: were probably like just right there, right close to each other.
Speaker 3: But launched the can with the string not connecting.
Speaker 2: You get us flowing a drone out there and dropped
Speaker 2: him some goodies.
Speaker 1: Any number of things.
Speaker 2: Was passing the night I was old Hope Town. It's
Speaker 2: still there. Yeah, I haven't been there in a while. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, I feel like you hadn't. I haven't heard
Speaker 2: you talking about going there in.
Speaker 4: The community Bolton board Facebook group.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of angry old people on that one.
Speaker 2: I guess I think that's how I found out that
Speaker 2: what's his face died? The old bartender that did all
Speaker 2: the singing Gary Gary guy from scrubs. Rest in peace, Gary.
Speaker 2: He was a He was a fun dude. Well, we
Speaker 2: do have some questions to ask you. It is jury
Speaker 2: duty and it's brought to you by the DeWitt Law Firm.
Speaker 2: If you're injured on the go, you just call MO.
Speaker 2: You call one eight hundred, call MO, or just call
Speaker 2: MO dot com. And you guys are still giving away
Speaker 2: a cruise. I believe if you sign up as a VIP,
Speaker 2: just call me dot com slash vi P. Yes, right,
Speaker 2: all right, I nailed it.
Speaker 3: Look at that, John, Thank you for letting us borrow Josh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Josh was the one that nailed that yesterday. He
Speaker 2: had it all right up there in the nugget. Yeah,
Speaker 2: one thing right, So we had That's my one.
Speaker 1: For the year. We have a handful of questions that
Speaker 1: we over the week.
Speaker 2: One of them is about this thing with GROC and
Speaker 2: this came up today in my stories, but we had
Speaker 2: people are now using GROC to make these images of
Speaker 2: people that they didn't consent to. And I know that
Speaker 2: at least in Florida and a handful of other states
Speaker 2: they've made laws saying that you cannot use AI or
Speaker 2: use computer generation to make a nude image of a
Speaker 2: recognizable person against their will, that sort of deep fake technology.
Speaker 2: But some of these were just like, hey, it's some
Speaker 2: random girl posting at a party, and they'll be like groc,
Speaker 2: put her in a bikini, Groc, you know, put her
Speaker 2: in something lacy or something. If it's not pornography, is
Speaker 2: there still some legal ramification or for the victim here?
Speaker 2: Legal protection for people using AI to alter images that
Speaker 2: people post on social media.
Speaker 9: I mean, depending what they do, it could possibly fall
Speaker 9: fall under cyberstalking, which can be difficult to prove. But
Speaker 9: I think again it's one of the situations where, you know,
Speaker 9: technology moves faster than the law, and so at this
Speaker 9: point there's probably not a whole lot you can do
Speaker 9: unless it's falling under one of the existing statues. Now,
Speaker 9: could there possibly be something down the road that addresses this,
Speaker 9: of course, sure. Could there be a requirement if it's
Speaker 9: you know, made with AI to have proper disclosures and
Speaker 9: things like that, Yes, but at this point in time
Speaker 9: we don't really have that. You know, if it falls
Speaker 9: under something where it's defamatory or something like that, then
Speaker 9: maybe there's there's grounds for a lawsuit.
Speaker 2: But like just like, you know, Josh Bawler posting himself
Speaker 2: out at a bar, and I say, Grock put him
Speaker 2: in a bikini. That's not defamatory necessarily, It's just a
Speaker 2: he might not want it though.
Speaker 3: Isn't it solacious? Or like what if you didn't want
Speaker 3: to be seen in that way? That is that not
Speaker 3: grounds for some sort of well, I mean, you.
Speaker 9: Could you make the argument that you know, he owns
Speaker 9: the rights to you know, his you know, likeness, right,
Speaker 9: and his nipples nipples like.
Speaker 5: Public faces only on days's end, and why public facing
Speaker 5: people they have less of a chance when it comes
Speaker 5: to growth calling them bikinis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do.
Speaker 9: But I mean you can always make the argument you
Speaker 9: own your likeness that they're you know, illegally you know,
Speaker 9: profiting off that likeness or putting your likeness out there.
Speaker 2: You could ask for it to be removed.
Speaker 9: But I think eventually we will see some sort of
Speaker 9: lost statue come out to address these kinds of situations
Speaker 9: With Ai.
Speaker 2: The story that I read from Bloomberg last night when
Speaker 2: I was, you know, doing research for the show, said, uh,
Speaker 2: Grock Ai, which is the one on on X. The
Speaker 2: elon musk Ai has generated thousands of undressed images per
Speaker 2: hour on x. The scale of deep fix is unprecedent,
Speaker 2: with Grock generating about six thousand, seven hundred images every
Speaker 2: hour that were identified as sexually suggestive or newdifying, compared
Speaker 2: to other ais, which only do about seventy nine nudes
Speaker 2: per hour on other top websites. Challenge victims targeted by
Speaker 2: deep fikes have reported the images to X but receive
Speaker 2: little to no response and the images remain live, some
Speaker 2: victims saying that block and grocer reporting the images does
Speaker 2: not work to stop the non consensual content.
Speaker 1: But I mean it is to be fair.
Speaker 2: When it is a nude image, it's now illegal. Yeah,
Speaker 2: when it's nude, it's now illegal. That's fairly straightforward.
Speaker 9: It's sort of these more salacious images that we don't
Speaker 9: really know about yet, got it.
Speaker 2: Another thing we talked about at the very beginning of
Speaker 2: the week, obviously, the raid on Venezuela and the taking
Speaker 2: over of or just the capture of Nicholas Maduro. And
Speaker 2: there were some people or one particular person that made
Speaker 2: a lot of money on polymarket about whether or not
Speaker 2: we would invade Venezuela before the end of January, meaning like, hey,
Speaker 2: it could be very possible that this person knows something
Speaker 2: and use poly Market to make a profit off of it. Now,
Speaker 2: in the stock market, that would be insider trading, and
Speaker 2: it would be very illegal, and you would spend a
Speaker 2: Martha Stuart amount of time in jail, or maybe longer
Speaker 2: than that, because you're not Martha Stewart. When these betting
Speaker 2: sites like polymarket or calsh are used for stuff like this,
Speaker 2: is there a version of insider trading that applies to
Speaker 2: those or since they call it a market where you're
Speaker 2: buying shares, is that insider trading?
Speaker 14: So?
Speaker 9: I mean, I don't know where these places are based
Speaker 9: or if they're US based or regulated, but typically if
Speaker 9: you have sort of any sort of insider information, whether
Speaker 9: it's you know, you work for the government in this case,
Speaker 9: or you work for a sports team and you have
Speaker 9: some special information, that can still be considered a fraud
Speaker 9: if you're placing these bets and profiting on that insider information.
Speaker 9: So there may not be a specific law like with
Speaker 9: sec with stocks and things like that, but it can
Speaker 9: still be And Sarah fraud, I think we saw that
Speaker 9: a little bit with the recent gambling scandal when it
Speaker 9: was the poker scandle and the gambling scandal at the
Speaker 9: same time.
Speaker 2: So in the case of fraud, who would be the victim? Well,
Speaker 2: I mean ultimately bringing the who's bringing the lawsuit? Is
Speaker 2: it polymarket or Kylesh? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9: So they would basically bring a lawsuit saying we're not
Speaker 9: paying you, and then they make counter suit on the
Speaker 9: other side saying, hey, you utilize insider information to place
Speaker 9: this bet, So the agreement is basically void.
Speaker 2: There was another thing. It's not in this pile, but
Speaker 2: we're talking about insurance companies, and there was yeah, well
Speaker 2: we're talking about Calshi not wanting to pay you. And
Speaker 2: often the people who want to do their job the
Speaker 2: least are the people whose job it is to pay
Speaker 2: out money casinos, lottery, insurance companies. Joshwer Josh Fowler. They
Speaker 2: want to find any excuse not to give you the
Speaker 2: money they owe, because you know, their business is to
Speaker 2: try and do as little of the paying out of
Speaker 2: the money as possible. Now that being said, Geico, so
Speaker 2: they said they're gonna pay these people, but they almost
Speaker 2: tried to not pay out. This guy who was in
Speaker 2: an accident because he didn't have his two young children
Speaker 2: claimed on his insurance even though they're too young to drive.
Speaker 2: They say that when he filled out his information, he
Speaker 2: didn't put them as members of the household. Is that
Speaker 2: a common loophole for insurance companies to say, like, Hey,
Speaker 2: you signed this paperwork and you said you and your wife,
Speaker 2: the people that drive your cars are the only ones
Speaker 2: that live here. You didn't say you had any kids,
Speaker 2: So even though the kids weren't hurt in the accident,
Speaker 2: they weren't affected. Everybody was fine, We're not going to
Speaker 2: pay out any of the damages because you didn't tell
Speaker 2: us you had kids.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's actually fairly common. So when you fill out
Speaker 9: an insurance application, one of the things they ask you
Speaker 9: is everybody who lives in your household. If you fail
Speaker 9: to disclose that, or if it changes in the future,
Speaker 9: which is what more commonly happens, and you don't remember
Speaker 9: to disclose that later, they can use that as a
Speaker 9: basis for denial. I mean, I think we talked about
Speaker 9: this before too. The other one is when you get married.
Speaker 9: If you get married, your insurance rays actually go down.
Speaker 2: Quite a bit. But a lot of people forget to
Speaker 2: tell their insurance company that.
Speaker 9: So any major life event you really should be updating
Speaker 9: your insurance policy with that information. But most people obviously
Speaker 9: just don't even think about that. But you know, most
Speaker 9: people say what my wife said, I said, is Jackson
Speaker 9: on our insurance policy? And she goes to drive?
Speaker 2: And I said yes, and she said no, he doesn't
Speaker 2: often drive, which is I mean, it's a fair answer.
Speaker 9: But if you've had I want too many drinks and
Speaker 9: he needs to step in, you can do that.
Speaker 1: Che getting insured for that just yet. But I do
Speaker 1: have two things on the to do list.
Speaker 2: One of those don't get in an accident on the
Speaker 2: way home, and the second one call my insurance broker,
Speaker 2: cause that's not something that everybody thinks of, especially if
Speaker 2: you negotiated the insurance before you had the baby. Those
Speaker 2: are things you kind of need to add to your plan.
Speaker 2: So you're on the up and up and H. Well,
Speaker 2: thank you for coming in, man, Thanks man, thank you.
Speaker 2: Thanks for keeping me company in my booth. It's quick, cozy, it's.
Speaker 4: You're the only person I have done that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I haven't haven't used that microphone before,
Speaker 2: so uh, good food.
Speaker 1: It sounds all right.
Speaker 3: Thanks thanks so much for coming in.
Speaker 2: H on the go, just call him if you want
Speaker 2: to win that cruise, just call him dot com slash vip.
Speaker 2: You become a just calm O vi P and you
Speaker 2: can find yourself on the open seas on Modowitz dime. Moses,
Speaker 2: thank you for coming. Thank you. We'll see you guys
Speaker 2: next week. All right, Moses, do wick. More of your
Speaker 2: dispatchers are coming as we round out the show. The
Speaker 2: Power Hour is up next on the News Junkie. That's
Speaker 2: how bost Man Bradshaw in the hall and he was like, Hey,
Speaker 2: you're doing a great job. And I was like, you
Speaker 2: didn't hear the intro?
Speaker 14: Did you?
Speaker 1: He goes no, that was my favorite part of it.
Speaker 1: That was your favorite part, the part.
Speaker 2: That I screwed up. The you did you guys fro
Speaker 2: you guys, you've heard it a few times and you
Speaker 2: came in and saved me when I needed it, the
Speaker 2: old one. Thank you dearly for that. But I got
Speaker 2: to show you this. This is hilarious. What this is
Speaker 2: a weird sign of the times because over in Ukraine
Speaker 2: they u they're they're going, I think this is this
Speaker 2: was Russians that actually made this video here we love
Speaker 2: making video for this is weirdly medieval but weirdly futuristic.
Speaker 2: This is a like a cavalry that they've got going
Speaker 2: on on horseback in the Ukraine. And look at this
Speaker 2: contraption that they've strapped to the horse here. This is
Speaker 2: to the horse's saddle and there's this like iron or
Speaker 2: something bars that they welded onto the saddle here and
Speaker 2: then mounted something on for their for their cavalry. That
Speaker 2: starling it is a starlink in Internet panel. Very grateful
Speaker 2: for Wi Fi from mister Musk that they're taking into battle.
Speaker 2: And there's there's a video.
Speaker 4: They're much smaller now there's starlink many well.
Speaker 2: I you know, it's it's hard to get the new
Speaker 2: the new models out one uh, there is a hold on.
Speaker 2: I have a video here of them on the horse.
Speaker 2: Let's see if we can see what's going on. It's
Speaker 2: a little bit shaky because it's out in Ukraine and
Speaker 2: the internet is not great.
Speaker 1: But star Wars.
Speaker 2: I almost nailed it, okay i' And then that's that
Speaker 2: moving on the horse fueled by the starlink Ukraine. Because
Speaker 2: he actually curses in Russian. He curses in Russian and
Speaker 2: for some reason they bleeped it because they thought.
Speaker 4: Many rush listeners here, thank you, we.
Speaker 2: Don't want you to hear the the I strapped the
Speaker 2: starlink on the horse and then went, look at that.
Speaker 1: That's effing awesome in Russia, which I guess.
Speaker 3: I mean, I tried starlink moving r V and it
Speaker 3: wasn't that great. But maybe is it not?
Speaker 2: Is it not as like receptive if you're in motion,
Speaker 2: because I thought that they were supposed to have taken
Speaker 2: care of that with the specifically the mobile or the
Speaker 2: minis that you put on the RV.
Speaker 3: I mean we certainly attempted. Now once we were stable,
Speaker 3: horse pun intended it was great, especially in a place
Speaker 3: Bonnerou was not known, especially where the r vs are
Speaker 3: to get great signal. But as we're moving, I don't
Speaker 3: think that it was all that hot. Maybe I did
Speaker 3: it wrong too. It was all new for me. Well,
Speaker 3: it worked out great with that one day that we
Speaker 3: had at oh yeah.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: That year was headlined by insane clown Posse and that
Speaker 1: was about.
Speaker 3: It, right and the Wrath of God.
Speaker 2: Somebody like as a meme redid the line up poster
Speaker 2: for Bonno after the fact, and it was just like
Speaker 2: you know, Thursday night, insane clown posse and a couple
Speaker 2: of bands that played and then nothing, just a big
Speaker 2: empty poster, which I thought was just a little bit funny, amazing.
Speaker 2: It was the fago was the like the the highlight
Speaker 2: of Bonnaroo that year. Where you going again this year?
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the plan?
Speaker 2: Is there you can? Is there a lineup yet? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay time it's a great lineup.
Speaker 1: That was the one I liked.
Speaker 2: There was still Okobe had had some like holes in
Speaker 2: it that I was like, I don't know, but Bonnero
Speaker 2: had some really good ones.
Speaker 3: And we're also giving more tickets Real Radio Dot FM
Speaker 3: slash contest.
Speaker 2: There you go, Real Radiom Slash Contest. You could go
Speaker 2: to Bonnaroo and run into Sabrina there and take some pictures,
Speaker 2: give some hugs.
Speaker 1: Make it awkward just a little bit.
Speaker 4: Oh please, I'm the one that makes it awkward.
Speaker 2: We're going to get to your dispatches here. They've been
Speaker 2: piling up and I've been uh distracted. Moses came in
Speaker 2: and kept me company in my booth, which was fun.
Speaker 2: Somebody said I looked like Wolfman Jack from that angle.
Speaker 2: You're not wrong. Wolfman Jack was like an old radio guy,
Speaker 2: but I think I think it's just scruffy, was the overall. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well I am kind of scruffy. It's a little bad.
Speaker 2: But let's go to your dispatches.
Speaker 11: We have.
Speaker 2: I know this guy Scotti Long is chiming in on
Speaker 2: the story that Josh had in this week in Florida
Speaker 2: about the license plates.
Speaker 14: Scotty Long here, we just got custom license plates. And
Speaker 14: I told missus Long, because I have a black car,
Speaker 14: that I wanted my license plate to say.
Speaker 2: Belong b L O N g uh.
Speaker 17: She wasn't having it.
Speaker 3: Can you replay that? That was a fun story?
Speaker 2: Black Long would have been too many letters, but also
Speaker 2: probably they would have they would have rejected it. Here's
Speaker 2: Shelby Don Hey junkies, Happy day.
Speaker 7: I was thinking, I've read a story about how people
Speaker 7: and scientists who go down to Antarctica to work and
Speaker 7: research have to have even if they have no problems,
Speaker 7: have to have like their appendix removed, because the medical
Speaker 7: care down in Antarctica is so remote and so a
Speaker 7: world that they can't get to hospitals. I'm kind of
Speaker 7: surprised that they don't do like a similar thing with
Speaker 7: our astronauts up in space, rather than just bringing them down,
Speaker 7: losing time and money.
Speaker 3: And it's a good point.
Speaker 2: It might have been that just an idea. I guess
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Like, really, they're trained in like your standard medical care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have the fact that some facilities.
Speaker 3: Something went down like it might have been beyond their
Speaker 3: control and iss hospital virus.
Speaker 2: They're also like, you know, there's a lot of PhDs
Speaker 2: going up into space. I think these days it used
Speaker 2: to just be like wild men that flew airplanes and
Speaker 2: it got a little too close to the but literally,
Speaker 2: but now I think there's people with a bit more
Speaker 2: medical training, at least the ones that stay on the
Speaker 2: space station for any amount of time there. Let's see,
Speaker 2: this person is called Shippert. Shippert, you're on the news junkie.
Speaker 20: There was a.
Speaker 11: Woman on.
Speaker 24: My Strange Addiction that was actually eating her husband's ashes
Speaker 24: after he was cremated. She could not stop herself from
Speaker 24: eating her husband's ashes.
Speaker 3: That would be done in a week event soon.
Speaker 5: Fool.
Speaker 2: I mean maybe she was just maybe she was rationing
Speaker 2: her husband out little by little because eventually, in the
Speaker 2: case of eating her husband's ashes, that strange addiction does
Speaker 2: have an end date. Like you to burn another body
Speaker 2: or get married again, and you know, then that husband dies.
Speaker 2: It's a slow roll, but you.
Speaker 3: Know I inspired my living trust and will maybe it's
Speaker 3: a spoonful of ashes.
Speaker 2: Have you guys ever heard of this psychic Uri Geller? Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: you have heard of him. Yeah, the name sounds familiar.
Speaker 1: Uri Geller. They call him the spoon Bender. He's seventy
Speaker 1: nine years old. Yes, that guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has Uh. He has an answer for President
Speaker 2: Trump about this whole Greenland issue, where where we won't
Speaker 2: have to invade Greenland or buy it or any of
Speaker 2: that stuff. Uh. He says he's generously offered up his
Speaker 2: Scottish island to President Trump to use as a military base.
Speaker 2: He wants it to become the United States fifty first
Speaker 2: state in a bid to solve this whole green Land crisis.
Speaker 2: He's got this island, he bought it. It's called Lamb Island.
Speaker 2: If you look it up, it's probably a beautiful place.
Speaker 2: It's on the east coast of Skotlark And he made
Speaker 2: this video where he claimed Trump knows how it's connected
Speaker 2: to Greenland, and everything would be hunky dory.
Speaker 1: We build a base there and we're all good.
Speaker 2: Problem is The island is about the size of a
Speaker 2: football pitch soccer for those of you who are American, yep.
Speaker 2: And it's smaller in area than the sides of some
Speaker 2: Vegas casinos, like those those tall ones that you know,
Speaker 2: like that you see on the strip there.
Speaker 1: It's smaller than that. Like if you were to put
Speaker 1: it up sideways.
Speaker 2: In fact, if you took the JumboTron at Sofi Stadium,
Speaker 2: that halo one that kind of goes all around the field,
Speaker 2: that's just a big led strip. If you were to
Speaker 2: mash that all together into one big flat strip, it
Speaker 2: is smaller than that JumboTron. So there's not really a
Speaker 2: whole lot of room for an advanced military president.
Speaker 4: Well, at least he's presenting some ideas.
Speaker 2: He's truck.
Speaker 5: I was looking at the Wikipedia for Lamb Island and
Speaker 5: it says in two thousand and nine the islands were
Speaker 5: sold for thirty million pounds or sorry, thirty thousand pounds
Speaker 5: to Yuri Geller, who stated that he believes that it
Speaker 5: is a hiding place for ancient Egyptian treasure.
Speaker 2: Still hasn't found that treasure. I think you have to
Speaker 2: canoe there. You know, there's there's not really easily accessed.
Speaker 2: Dingy ride, Yeah, you can ding it. The president says
Speaker 2: he wants Greenland and autonomous Territory of Denmark to be
Speaker 2: part of the USA, and his leading aids appear to
Speaker 2: have suggested the US could take it by force. But
Speaker 2: Geller says his soccer pitch size island near north Berwick
Speaker 2: and home to a colony of puffins.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's who lives on the island. A colony
Speaker 1: of puffins.
Speaker 4: Do you does not make any more drama and just
Speaker 4: take up his offer.
Speaker 2: It could provide the military base. He bought the island,
Speaker 2: like Josh said, for thirty thousand pounds, and he declared
Speaker 2: it a micro nation, its own national anthem Victoria. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just about or like there's a there's another ah, gosh,
Speaker 2: there's another like fort out in the sea there that
Speaker 2: some guy owns.
Speaker 1: And he says his is a micronation.
Speaker 2: All you need is like one other country to like
Speaker 2: recognize that you're a nation, and then that's it. That's
Speaker 2: what they say. The barrier to entry on becoming your
Speaker 2: own country is.
Speaker 4: Just someone else recognizes it as that.
Speaker 1: Somebody else has to call it a country.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: I think you could pay another country.
Speaker 3: You can do it right now. You're a country.
Speaker 2: But we don't have the land. We need the land,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 3: I got nothing.
Speaker 2: I mean if you got if you got like thirty
Speaker 2: thousand pounds, you can buy off this Lamb Island.
Speaker 4: I'm about to lose those pounds.
Speaker 2: Hang out with the puffins. But in a video, he
Speaker 2: told Donald Trump he could use the island to duck
Speaker 2: his navy and aircraft ahead of war with China. I
Speaker 2: can solve the problem with Greenland. Adopt my Lamb Island
Speaker 2: as your fifty first state and use it as a
Speaker 2: military base. I say things, but no thanks, Guri Geller.
Speaker 2: I think what you've really tried and succeeded at is
Speaker 2: just getting people to talk about you because you're a
Speaker 2: little bit crazy.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to find your Egyptian treasure.
Speaker 2: Uri. I don't even think the Egyptians cared enough about
Speaker 2: that tiny little rock to put any of their treasures there.
Speaker 2: Boom rested, you do you keep bending spoons like the
Speaker 2: matrix style?
Speaker 1: There is no spoon, It is your mind.
Speaker 2: Back to Japan. Japan man has been arrested, and after
Speaker 2: a while, I feel like you know it's I know
Speaker 2: that the victim here is this food delivery app. But
Speaker 2: after a while, I think it's just their fault for
Speaker 2: just continuing to let this stuff.
Speaker 4: Out before we hear the details.
Speaker 2: Well, how often how often have you Sabrina and you Josh,
Speaker 2: I know that both of you order Uber Eats or
Speaker 2: door Dash or any of those number of delivery apps
Speaker 2: they have. How often have you complained about your delivery
Speaker 2: to the point where they've given you a partial or
Speaker 2: full refund.
Speaker 3: Okay, first of all, calling it a complaint is different
Speaker 3: than I need help with my order, something's wrong or missing.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's a complaint.
Speaker 11: About it.
Speaker 3: The complaint has a negative connotation as if I if
Speaker 3: I didn't, then.
Speaker 2: Getting my order wrong has a negative connotation.
Speaker 3: That's it. I'm just correcting something that was wrong. And
Speaker 3: they answer to your question with that preface many a times.
Speaker 2: Many times, and you just get you know, they screw
Speaker 2: up your order. You usually get a refund half the time,
Speaker 2: there's still edible food involved, and it's just a freebie.
Speaker 2: This guy that's been arrested in Japan has been scamming
Speaker 2: a food delivery app out of more than one thousand
Speaker 2: free meals by repeatedly claiming his orders never arrived.
Speaker 3: Just catching on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's on them, police, and thank you for joining
Speaker 2: me in victim shaming. Police in Nagoya Ikey Prefecture say
Speaker 2: thirty eight year old old Takuya he got Shimoto pulled
Speaker 2: off the elaborate fraud over the course of two years,
Speaker 2: which cost the company more than twenty four thousand dollars
Speaker 2: or three point seven million yen. That sounds like a
Speaker 2: lot more money when you say to yen one you.
Speaker 3: Get when you have AI and robots doing customer serve right.
Speaker 2: According to reporters, he got Shimoto placed one thousand and
Speaker 2: ninety five orders through a major delivery app, including meals
Speaker 2: like Bento boxes, chicken steaks and ice cream chicken steaks
Speaker 2: chicken stiacks eat. Each time he selected contactless delivery, ate
Speaker 2: the food, and then falsely reported through the app that
Speaker 2: his order had not been delivered, receiving a refund every time.
Speaker 2: One of his latest attempts, when he allegedly created a
Speaker 2: new fake account on the app called Demecon, used a
Speaker 2: made up name and address, and he had he again
Speaker 2: claimed non delivery. How do you make up an address?
Speaker 2: You still need to have the address to go to,
Speaker 2: unless you're just going to other addresses and picking up
Speaker 2: your food and then claiming it wasn't all.
Speaker 3: There was a freaky Fast sandwich delivery years ago that
Speaker 3: would delivered just half a block away from Oh.
Speaker 2: Wait, so you you were just outside. I believe five
Speaker 2: miles is the threshold.
Speaker 3: And I was there, and I would just put the
Speaker 3: address of one place and then I would pop out,
Speaker 3: my ky, it's me.
Speaker 4: I just have a apartment in the back.
Speaker 3: That seems so sketchy, especially because I've shanked them right after.
Speaker 2: That's that's what like. That's what like people back in
Speaker 2: the day used to do. If they stole credit card
Speaker 2: numbers and wanted to order stuff, they would find like
Speaker 2: a house that was for sale and just have the
Speaker 2: stuff delivered to the house.
Speaker 4: That's not it at all. I still paid for my
Speaker 4: Jimmy you know.
Speaker 2: You paid for the Jimmy Johns. I'm just saying you
Speaker 2: haven't your Jimmy Johns delivered to a clandestine location. Seems
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: That's what happens when you live between two.
Speaker 2: That's what you mean, radio, That's what you need to
Speaker 2: do when you're five point one miles from Jimmy.
Speaker 3: John's I don't want to drive there.
Speaker 2: Next question, Investigators revealed Higashimoto had been running the scam
Speaker 2: since April of twenty twenty three. He used one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty four fake accounts registered under false names and
Speaker 2: prepaid phone numbers.
Speaker 1: He would open an account prepaid phone numbers.
Speaker 21: Isn't there?
Speaker 2: Doesn't that cost money? Yeah?
Speaker 1: This is more trouble than it's worth.
Speaker 3: Like, is it though? Since twenty twenty three, you've gotten
Speaker 3: free meals probably every single day.
Speaker 2: I guess if he orders like a lot of food. Well,
Speaker 2: I mean he ordered one thousand meals over the hand.
Speaker 1: For two years.
Speaker 4: The drive, the.
Speaker 3: Exhilaration.
Speaker 2: Let's see two years, right, feeling Yeah, sixty five times too,
Speaker 2: that's seven hundred and thirty. So we have one thousand
Speaker 2: and what did I say? Ten ninety five? About thirty
Speaker 2: that's just a meal and a half a day. I
Speaker 2: mean that this could be all the guys eating and
Speaker 2: for him. One of the refunds he got was one
Speaker 2: hundred and five dollars sixteen thousand yen.
Speaker 4: And the driver still gets a tip.
Speaker 2: I hope.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you do they ta in Japan. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a good question, but I'm the mod list.
Speaker 2: He just left. He was refunded one hundred and five dollars.
Speaker 2: He would open the account, make several fraudulent orders, and
Speaker 2: then delete it days later to avoid detection, but they
Speaker 2: did end up detecting him. The unemployed man confessed after
Speaker 2: being caught telling investigators, and this is the rough translation.
Speaker 2: It says, at first, I just tried this trick. I
Speaker 2: couldn't stop after reaping the rewards of my fraud, it
Speaker 2: seems poetic. Online many were stunned by the schemes scale
Speaker 2: and persistence. Quite clever opening one hundred twenty four cows No,
Speaker 2: probably not. Somebody said that takes dedication. One comment or
Speaker 2: another added the apps refund policy needs improvement. It's a
Speaker 2: bit too lenient, and I would agree with that. We
Speaker 2: just have a couple more segments to go before we
Speaker 2: you know, kick you on off into the weekend, and
Speaker 2: so we'll go for some of your dispatches. I got
Speaker 2: a couple more stories here and we'll have a good
Speaker 2: time as we continue with the Power Hour all that
Speaker 2: coming up next on the News Junkie. But also because
Speaker 2: high Mark Stadium, this was the last season in their
Speaker 2: in their home stadium, and there's a storied pass with
Speaker 2: that stadium, mostly because some of the Buffalo Bills fans
Speaker 2: are just absolute animals, but also because you know, they
Speaker 2: have a lot of like family stuff that they do there,
Speaker 2: Like when it's a snowy day, they put the word
Speaker 2: out and they let the families come and shovel the
Speaker 2: snow from high Mark Stadium, and you know, they pay
Speaker 2: them and they give them hot meals and stuff or
Speaker 2: Bill's memorabilia, and I know that. I think one of
Speaker 2: the beer companies has done this before, but bud Light
Speaker 2: announced they're doing a limited Blizzard brew made like brewed
Speaker 2: actually with snow from high Mark Stadium, which always begs
Speaker 2: the question like how are they filtering this? They need
Speaker 2: to be doing something to get some of the gunk
Speaker 2: out of there. You say it's a no for you,
Speaker 2: but I think for the average Buffalo Bills fan this
Speaker 2: would be a collector can. It's the last for the
Speaker 2: Bills at the stadium season wise, where football fans have
Speaker 2: become very familiar with Bill's Mafia shoveling out the snow
Speaker 2: following an overload of the inclement weather before an upcoming game.
Speaker 2: Follow me in the first snowmall snowfall excuse me at
Speaker 2: high Mark this season, Bud Light and the Bills. That's
Speaker 2: when you just build like an igloo, just really big
Speaker 2: with stores in it. Yeah, Snowball trademark, but Light fail.
Speaker 2: But Light and the Bills collected the snow and transported
Speaker 2: it to Anheuser Busch brewery in Baldwinsville, New York. Close.
Speaker 2: But the snow is integrated in the brewing process for
Speaker 2: the limited edition brew that comes in custom sixteen ounce
Speaker 2: k and packaging, and as far as the rest of
Speaker 2: the stadium, everything must go just high Mark yard Sale,
Speaker 2: so much so that they are selling the urinal troughs here.
Speaker 2: We'll see if I can make this beer you would
Speaker 2: oh yeah, where would you put it? I got to
Speaker 2: figure that out soon. You will be able to buy
Speaker 2: a trough out of high Mark Stadium if you were
Speaker 2: looking beforehand. I don't know what amount of cleaning would
Speaker 2: be sufficient for you, sabrina um.
Speaker 3: That would have to be several bleaches.
Speaker 2: More more cleaning than it would need to drink that
Speaker 2: beer that was made from the snow.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I will take a case of those beers
Speaker 4: before drinking.
Speaker 2: Anything out of the trough that says Bill's Mafia has
Speaker 2: the chance to end up with quite the goofy and
Speaker 2: questionably unsanitary keepsake. But the blue collar fan base in
Speaker 2: Western New York won't be deterred by any of those
Speaker 2: questions that it would beg So there's a way to
Speaker 2: add sentimental value to something, They'll do it, even if
Speaker 2: it involves something from the bathroom. I think you know,
Speaker 2: in the right man cave, you run some piping and
Speaker 2: you could put yourself a urinal trough in there. It's
Speaker 2: definitely just put a bathroom. Definitely a conversation for man,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Urinals are cooler, dude.
Speaker 2: I there was a time where we had a man
Speaker 2: cave thing going on and I was like, it would
Speaker 2: be fun to put a urinal in here. And that
Speaker 2: thought lasted all of about sixteen seconds until I realized
Speaker 2: the smell that would be involved with having a urinal
Speaker 2: in your man cave.
Speaker 3: Like, even if you don't have the cakes in it,
Speaker 3: but when you do, it even smells worse.
Speaker 2: Then it just smells like urinal cakes. Like at some point,
Speaker 2: there's a few things in your life that you encounter
Speaker 2: that are made to make things smell better. The one
Speaker 2: in my head that I always think of is that
Speaker 2: old kitty litter stuff that they used to put on vomit,
Speaker 2: Like if you threw up at school.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they would.
Speaker 2: Pour that sawdust, kitty litter whatever stuff on there, and
Speaker 2: it was scented that was supposed to make you not
Speaker 2: smell the vomit, but it really just kind of it
Speaker 2: kind of meshed with it. And now I think even
Speaker 2: if I smelled a package of just that stuff by itself,
Speaker 2: sans vomit, I would feel a certain way. It'd be
Speaker 2: like morning. No, definitely anything but that. But yeah, if
Speaker 2: you're a Buffalo Bills fan and you want the weirdest
Speaker 2: of memorabilia, these bathroom troughs are going to be up
Speaker 2: for sale very soon, alongside probably all the seats, all
Speaker 2: kinds of size stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to blow up the stadium after.
Speaker 2: I think eventually they want to building the stadium next door.
Speaker 2: I think if I if I've read correctly, and then
Speaker 2: at some point I would assume they would implode the
Speaker 2: thing because it's really not a lot more you could
Speaker 2: do with it. I don't know, if you're in the
Speaker 2: in the market for some primo real estate. I'm talking
Speaker 2: beachside real estate. It's hard to get prices like these
Speaker 2: for anything beachside. But there are some homes on Cape
Speaker 2: Cod's National Seashore that are going for around one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, I mean, sold far below the selling price
Speaker 2: of area properties you know that are surrounding them, and
Speaker 2: just the most beautiful of you I don't know if
Speaker 2: you can see it here, I'll pull it up. These
Speaker 2: homes over here, not so much here around the land,
Speaker 2: but right by these cliffs here, in this eroding beachside.
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to pay much more than one hundred thousand
Speaker 2: dollars for these homes. I can't really put my finger
Speaker 2: on why.
Speaker 3: Maybe we because discuss in the past though, that they
Speaker 3: have come up with ways to keep those houses.
Speaker 2: Up they're supposed to, like usually the Army Corps of
Speaker 2: engineers will go in and unload a lot of dirt
Speaker 2: or maybe do some things underneath the house. But it
Speaker 2: still seems like a very huge gamble if you were
Speaker 2: to spend one hundred thousand dollars of your hard earned
Speaker 2: money on a home that could be in the ocean.
Speaker 2: I mean, you get a really bad storm and it
Speaker 2: could fast forward that process. Oh yeah, just a little
Speaker 2: more than you would want. But hey, if you're the
Speaker 2: adventurous type and you want to it's a beautiful view.
Speaker 2: That's a that's a great looking view, gorgeous if you
Speaker 2: can survive the elements. And I don't know, I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's something that I would want to put
Speaker 2: my money into. I don't know if you're allowed to
Speaker 2: do this. Which which is the generation that's gen.
Speaker 5: Z Jesus right after Millennials, so they're like twenty I.
Speaker 1: Need either birth years or current ages.
Speaker 3: Ninety twelve, which is going to be as of early
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, age thirteen to twenty eight years old.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't I don't know if they're allowed to
Speaker 1: do this.
Speaker 2: But the claim here from KTLA is that gen Z
Speaker 2: is as picking a new name for Karen. We have
Speaker 2: Karen is established, you have your like I want I
Speaker 2: want Chad. I want to see the manager Carrey. Well,
Speaker 2: no Chad would be the male Karen, even though this
Speaker 2: article claims that the male Karen is Ken.
Speaker 1: I thought it was more of a Chad. No Chad
Speaker 1: is like, you're an alpha male, is it?
Speaker 18: Chad?
Speaker 1: You wish Chad.
Speaker 2: You're a Chad.
Speaker 1: You're slowly becoming a Chad.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Your regiment is getting real Chad.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Christopher, he likes it, Mikey With the past
Speaker 2: decade or so, the name Karen obviously widely known as
Speaker 2: a derogatory derogatory slang moniker, often used online to refer
Speaker 2: to an older, typically white woman who would insert themselves
Speaker 2: into situations they're not involved in, demanding to speak to
Speaker 2: sword managers, calling police on people of color for innocuous reasons,
Speaker 2: but the millennials themselves. The millennial coined phrase is getting
Speaker 2: a little old, and the proof is that gen Z
Speaker 2: claims to be picking a new name. Now do we
Speaker 2: You guys are on TikTok more than I am? Do
Speaker 2: you happen to know what gen Z is replacing Karen with.
Speaker 2: There's a new name. They say that this person she's
Speaker 2: being a real beth and Sabrina. No, it's although it
Speaker 2: says one of the popular options is Ashley, and my
Speaker 2: wife just said, checks out.
Speaker 3: If you're being a real Linda.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, not enough syllables.
Speaker 5: Bethany again, Bethany is the right amount of syllables, but
Speaker 5: not the right name.
Speaker 2: Oohany, no, Elizabeth. That's too many syllables. Damn it, I
Speaker 2: forgot what account. The newest iteration of Karen, according to
Speaker 2: gen Z users of TikTok and other social media sites,
Speaker 2: is she's being a real Jessica eat me. I kind
Speaker 2: of like that, a name that's popular among both gen
Speaker 2: X and millennial women, though the gen Z debate over
Speaker 2: the name, another popular option, being Ashley, began around the
Speaker 2: summer of last year. The joke finally landed into older
Speaker 2: people's feeds in late December. They're saying, hence this article
Speaker 2: the self report from the author calling himself old. The
Speaker 2: new feature of the stereotypical careen includes the haircut and
Speaker 2: the specific choppy hairstyle famously worn by Kate Goslin and
Speaker 2: Sharon Osbourne. But one of the most popular tiktoks recording
Speaker 2: Jessica's comes from user junk mother Jess, who were laid
Speaker 2: as a thread. She'd been debating the topic and one
Speaker 2: of the comments said, Jessica and I just know she's
