Speaker 1: this great, big, wide world of ours, and we go
Speaker 1: to McDonald's. Everybody that's right and like mega viral this
Speaker 1: weekend was this video of the CEO of McDonald's. What
Speaker 1: is going on with the CEO of Burger King being
Speaker 1: this weirdo pretending he's giving his phone number out and
Speaker 1: his latest campaign that was stupid and the CEO of
Speaker 1: McDonald's is like weirder than Mark Zuckerberg. This is the
Speaker 1: levels of weird this guy is at. If you didn't
Speaker 1: see this, I bring it to you right now. The
Speaker 1: CEO of McDonald's had one job. All it was was
Speaker 1: to sit down and eat a burger from his very
Speaker 1: own restaurant and pretend like he absolutely liked it. So
Speaker 1: here goes.
Speaker 3: Let's see how it wears k here with you've heard
Speaker 3: about it here it is.
Speaker 1: The Big arch is.
Speaker 3: Something that we have tested already in Portugal, Germany, Canada.
Speaker 1: I love this product. It is so good.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do a tasting right now.
Speaker 1: But first of all, this guy is just he's so stiff,
Speaker 1: he's so subscribed below what do I call what he's wearing.
Speaker 1: He's got a collared shirt, but what's that? Is that
Speaker 1: a cardigan? Is that cardigan territory?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I feel like if we were to touch his arm,
Speaker 5: it's edgy already.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy's wearing like a perfect little church cardigan
Speaker 1: over his little collar. Mister Rogers thing going on, almost
Speaker 1: a little bit personality, So mister Rogers vibes, but he's
Speaker 1: like a droid. This guy. All you have to do
Speaker 1: is pretend he likes to burger eat this from my lunch,
Speaker 1: just so you know. So here we go.
Speaker 3: First, Holy cow, god, that is a big burg a
Speaker 3: very unique kind of sesame poppy sort of bun.
Speaker 6: On.
Speaker 2: We've got unique sesame bun.
Speaker 1: It's a unique sesame bun. Yeah, it's sesame poppy bun.
Speaker 1: I mean it looks as.
Speaker 4: A big back, but were like two or three ingredients
Speaker 4: removed from that being in everything bun. Yeah.
Speaker 1: This guy, this guy says this is very unique. He's
Speaker 1: blown away by it, so he's gonna love it.
Speaker 3: Quarter pound patties, a delicious big arch sauce, and of
Speaker 3: course some lettuce. So, oh, there's so much going on
Speaker 3: with this.
Speaker 1: First of all, let's.
Speaker 4: Try this burger yet. But I've seen you there, I've
Speaker 4: seen some of the.
Speaker 1: Buzz about it.
Speaker 4: First of all, it reminds me of the Arch Deluxe
Speaker 4: because of the name, but I think it's not anywhere
Speaker 4: near the Arch Deluxe. The it sounds like they kind
Speaker 4: of were throwing elements from every burger they have into
Speaker 4: this thing. He said it was two quarter pounder patties.
Speaker 4: I think like a double quarter pounder with che.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this one's called the Arch Big. And now
Speaker 1: he's now he's holding the big Arch like backwards in
Speaker 1: his hands, which is like this weird way to even
Speaker 1: like an alien would hold the burger this way. But
Speaker 1: just bite it and enjoy it, buddy, or the CEO
Speaker 1: of that got this thing.
Speaker 3: I don't even know how to attack it got so
Speaker 3: much to it. Oh, there's also some crispy onions on
Speaker 3: here as well as see those kind of coming out.
Speaker 1: All right, the most truth that is so good.
Speaker 4: Buddy, you took a bite the size of a gd grasshopper.
Speaker 2: Okay, we quote you on that, sir, that is so good.
Speaker 1: He goes in big, and I don't know if he
Speaker 1: was like if he hates these the CEO of McDonald's
Speaker 1: might hate these burgers, or maybe he's like, I have
Speaker 1: to take a small bite because it'll make the burger
Speaker 1: look so big, it making it look like you didn't
Speaker 1: take a bite. He was like nothing out of it.
Speaker 4: So, you know, I have some experience with this as
Speaker 4: of late, because when when when the when the baby
Speaker 4: is eating dinner, and sometimes he's watching more cartoons than
Speaker 4: he's doing eating. So I have to pause him and
Speaker 4: be like, I need to see some bites if you
Speaker 4: want Paw Patrol to come.
Speaker 1: Back or else, Jackson get to bite and.
Speaker 4: These dogs are going to the pound if you don't
Speaker 4: start eating your chicken nuggies or whatever. And so he'll
Speaker 4: he'll he'll say like I'll take a bite, and then
Speaker 4: he takes the smallest bite possible. It's like this guy
Speaker 4: and then he opens his mouth and points and goes,
Speaker 4: it's in there, Patrol.
Speaker 1: This guy is taking Jackson size bites right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody said he looks like the whole burger. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: nothing gone. He's the CEO of McDonald Take a bite.
Speaker 3: Man, that's a big bite for a big arc. Its
Speaker 3: distinctively McDonald's. Only McDonald's could do this type of burger.
Speaker 3: But it also is unlike anything else on our menu.
Speaker 3: It's a delicious sort of the cheeses and the gooiness
Speaker 3: those Chris youngans as well because a nice texture, and
Speaker 3: of course we've got the pickles. So uh, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: enjoy the rest of my lunch.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, you know what, this guy's gonna take
Speaker 1: this burger and he's gonna take that big arch and
Speaker 1: slam it against the wall and go get like a
Speaker 1: filet mignon or whatever people who wear these sort of sweaters,
Speaker 1: get it.
Speaker 5: Spit out that food that is in his mouth still.
Speaker 5: You can hear he's going and I'm gonna finish, and
Speaker 5: I can tell it's in the corner of his mouth
Speaker 5: like a chipmunk ready to be spit into the trash
Speaker 5: along the side.
Speaker 1: The entire life weirdo like Jacob bite, you're the CEO, buddy,
Speaker 1: like it would be. You know what they should get
Speaker 1: from McDonald's. The biggest, fattest, most American son of a
Speaker 1: bitch you could find. Just get a big fatty who
Speaker 1: actually would be sitting down excited to eat this burger.
Speaker 1: He would take a bite of this burger that was
Speaker 1: it was like a carsoon bite, Like you wouldn't believe
Speaker 1: that the human took a bite that big. You can't
Speaker 1: have these weirdos representing your food company. They're selling food.
Speaker 1: This is a skinny, weird, uptight guy selling a burger
Speaker 1: that he doesn't appear to enjoy. And I don't know
Speaker 1: that it's gonna work.
Speaker 5: After this went viral over the weekend, there are a
Speaker 5: lot of people that have sworn off McDonald because of
Speaker 5: this video, like it makes them not want to go back.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't think that I'm that easily easily
Speaker 4: triggered by a video that I'm I'm still gonna watch
Speaker 4: this and swear off McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I thought Sabrita was gonna say that people are
Speaker 1: going to McDonald's and taking the smallest bites I can.
Speaker 1: And I do like a little video, you know, it's
Speaker 1: that I could see happening, but isn't. Currently, as the
Speaker 1: world was on fire and Iran was getting blown up
Speaker 1: and and revenge attacks were occurring across the United States,
Speaker 1: this guy was going viral for barely being able to
Speaker 1: eat one of his own burgers. Tanya YouTube says he
Speaker 1: gives creeper vibes. He's a strange guy. I don't know
Speaker 1: what to make of this. McDonald's CEO Chris Kempsinski and
Speaker 1: Chris I know this. I'll just throw this out there, pal.
Speaker 1: If somebody paid me sixteen million dollars a year to
Speaker 1: be the CEO of McDonald's, I'd do better by the
Speaker 1: burger than that. That's what I would do. I would
Speaker 1: make love to that burger for sixteen million dollars a year,
Speaker 1: and I think you folks would too. But let me
Speaker 1: know what you think. Send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com. The world's on fire. How about yours?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 1: You beat me to it. I had to make a move.
Speaker 1: The war in Iran has started. I thought there was
Speaker 1: some sort of negotiation going on, but we've gone past that.
Speaker 1: The negotiation process has ended, and now we're at the
Speaker 1: find out phase of things, and very quickly this weekend,
Speaker 1: bombs are a droppin' on Iran. And they got the main, Dude,
Speaker 1: they got the main bomb bomb bomb John losing his
Speaker 1: mind if he was still with us, he would be
Speaker 1: losing his mind. But he he is not here, and
Speaker 1: neither is the Supreme Leader of Iran. Believe it or not.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he comes with sour cream and tomatoes.
Speaker 4: This is like the top guy all a joke. That's
Speaker 4: what a joke.
Speaker 1: Viral megatweet of the weekend, the Supreme Leader that you
Speaker 1: did or no, no, it wentn't mega viral this weekend.
Speaker 1: I've seen it before, I think, But the Supreme Leader,
Speaker 1: literally Iran is like what people have fever dreams in
Speaker 1: the United States is where people think there's like Handmaid's
Speaker 1: Tale going on, and like that's literally they got a
Speaker 1: guy named the Supreme Leader who's been in charge for
Speaker 1: thirty five years or something. And you know, Zapp said,
Speaker 1: restart the game. He's gone, he's done, he's out of there.
Speaker 1: He's dead. He's as that is dead. Is a dog,
Speaker 1: a beautiful dog. And there's so many different things and
Speaker 1: angles to come here, including these like revenge attacks that
Speaker 1: I've seen, including the one in Austin that will go
Speaker 1: over at some point. This is allegedly people in the
Speaker 1: capital of Iran cheering after hearing that Kamani died let's
Speaker 1: say it. I mean, I hear noises, but that sounds
Speaker 1: like unfair. I hear like some sort of popping. There's
Speaker 1: so many noises though, there's like there's sirens. Here's another one.
Speaker 1: Oh that's celebrating. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's there's a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of videos in these people across the city so
Speaker 1: weird and the dead and night people just open their
Speaker 1: windows are like, he's dead. I was like, damn, you
Speaker 1: guys didn't like that, dude, huh that old guy. More
Speaker 1: people cheering, whistling out of their buildings at the capitol
Speaker 1: of Iran, and a lot, as I said, a lot
Speaker 1: to go over here. But one thing that I saw
Speaker 1: that was nuts that I wanted to share with everybody
Speaker 1: was Iran retaliated, kind of like I pictured. You guys
Speaker 1: have been on the ride at Universal Studios Men in Black,
Speaker 1: you've been on that, and you know when you're waiting
Speaker 1: in line and there's the alien with all the arms
Speaker 1: in front of the board of buttons and the twins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the two aliens are next to each other and they
Speaker 1: have like all these arms and there's buttons in front
Speaker 1: of all of them, and they're kind of moving around.
Speaker 1: That's how Iran responded to these attacks from the United
Speaker 1: States and Israel, and they just hit all the buttons
Speaker 1: and started shooting whatever they could. And one of the
Speaker 1: videos that I saw it was so crazy. This was
Speaker 1: in Bahrain, a neighboring country, and these people are in
Speaker 1: there building just kind of hanging out. They're, you know,
Speaker 1: looking at what's going on in the world, and an
Speaker 1: Iranian drone flies into Kamakazi style into their building and
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is even going on right now? In
Speaker 1: Iranian drug here? I'll play it for you seek and
Speaker 1: hear what happened here they are this This here for
Speaker 1: those of you watching, and you can watch the show
Speaker 1: on YouTube and Twitch. This is the drone. And when
Speaker 1: I say drone, I don't mean a drone like sea
Speaker 1: lane flies. I don't mean a dji drone. These things
Speaker 1: are the size of airplanes. They're they're very large drones.
Speaker 1: They don't usually have anybody on board, but they're very
Speaker 1: large drones. And it's flying toward this building in Bahrain.
Speaker 1: This is an Iranian drune. Here it goes there. You go, jeez,
Speaker 1: that's the building with people in a hem and the
Speaker 1: people were in this Yeah, it looks a little nine
Speaker 1: to eleveny, doesn't it. Yeah, yeah, I'm telling you. Aron
Speaker 1: just was like like with tentacles, hitting all the buttons,
Speaker 1: firing in anything they possibly could, and and just shooting
Speaker 1: at random things. They tried to For a while, it
Speaker 1: was like are they gonna they were trying to take
Speaker 1: down the Burj Khalifa, Oh, which I believe it's the
Speaker 1: biggest tallest building in the world, right I think so? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the tallest building. You know that one that when you
Speaker 1: see the desert and you see the building just endlessly
Speaker 1: coming out of the ground in the middle of the
Speaker 1: desert in Dubai. I think I think some people have
Speaker 1: climbed it famously. Maybe even Tom Cruise was on the
Speaker 1: top of it. You know what I'm talking about this
Speaker 1: building and they there was I guess some stuff missiles
Speaker 1: and whatnot coming for for that building, Like they're gonna
Speaker 1: blow blow up the biggest building in the world.
Speaker 5: Right now, they did another giant hotel right in Dubai.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did a tree or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I believe it's okay, See they looked this up.
Speaker 1: I think it's like the only six star hotel in
Speaker 1: the world. Or something crazy like that.
Speaker 2: I think it just went down.
Speaker 1: It might have been degraded. They hit like one of
Speaker 1: the world's most famous resorts and blew up some of
Speaker 1: the building. And it's just been crazy. We've lost I
Speaker 1: think four or five US soldiers. Is they've tried to
Speaker 1: attack all these neighboring countries because they basically just shot
Speaker 1: at everybody else around them. And then watching this all
Speaker 1: unfold has been wild. And we'll talk about the revenge
Speaker 1: stuff in a moment, but I guess this was after
Speaker 1: they found out their supreme leader. So weird that some
Speaker 1: of you guys have leaders like this, you have a
Speaker 1: supreme leader or like a royal family. Everything has gone wrong,
Speaker 1: everything has gone sideways. This was the news, I guess
Speaker 1: in Iran Press TV announcing that the Ayatola had died,
Speaker 1: and the dude started crying like the probably forced a
Speaker 1: gunpoint to cry. The guy started crying, announcing the news.
Speaker 7: The devils of the lady and everybody here has managed
Speaker 7: to brainwash.
Speaker 2: But this is not over.
Speaker 1: Trump is going.
Speaker 7: To pay a price paid by.
Speaker 3: No American president at all times, paid by no.
Speaker 1: Zionis of all time. This is their news, criminals. The
Speaker 1: anchor or a translator because this is Press TV, so
Speaker 1: it's English coming soon. A revenge is coming after Trump,
Speaker 1: after everybody who facilitated this assassination.
Speaker 8: He wrote, pay the ultimate price.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is.
Speaker 5: She's showing footage and talking as herself or is this
Speaker 5: what he's saying?
Speaker 2: And she's bringing in the emotion.
Speaker 1: No homeboy's dead. They were showing the Ayatola and he's thrown.
Speaker 1: He's dead. And when they got the news, she's like
Speaker 1: kind of talking across the line and crying about it.
Speaker 1: This is a crying anchor on a Ranian state TV.
Speaker 1: Trump is going to pay a price paid by no
Speaker 1: American president of all time. Revenge is coming, they said.
Speaker 1: So those are some of the things that we're going
Speaker 1: down this weekend. And we got a lot of like
Speaker 1: weird twists and turns and updates and how expensive your
Speaker 1: gas is going to get and all kinds of things
Speaker 1: to talk about throughout the show today. So we will
Speaker 1: do that as we roll out a little bit. And
Speaker 1: I also want to talk about a lot of other
Speaker 1: things not about this. If this is something that you're
Speaker 1: not interested in, don't worry. We focus on everything viral.
Speaker 1: So we'll go all over the place. Today, we'll talk
Speaker 1: to our friend Amy Kaufelt in less than an hour
Speaker 1: here on the show, see what's going on in her world.
Speaker 1: We'll also talk about everybody melted down this weekend because
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey popped back up and Jim Carrey popped up,
Speaker 1: and it seems like he has a brand new face
Speaker 1: and a brand new voice, like he sounds newly different,
Speaker 1: brand new maybe not but different. Yes, they're very strange,
Speaker 1: and there's so many theories. Is he like working on
Speaker 1: a new movie role. Maybe he's going to come back
Speaker 1: out and do some kind of big, deep movie role
Speaker 1: where he's going full method on it. Or I don't know.
Speaker 2: Is he a clone?
Speaker 1: Maybe he's a clone. I saw people thinking about that
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Well, we'll see, we'll dive into the evidence.
Speaker 1: It was very bizarre. If you haven't heard him, wait,
Speaker 1: do you hear the new voice of Jim Carrey and
Speaker 1: all the theories behind it. That's coming up next on the
Speaker 1: News Junkie. Another thing that went viral this weekend we
Speaker 1: should address here quickly was Jim Carrey at some award show.
Speaker 1: It was he at the Sign Caesar Film Awards. I
Speaker 1: guess it was too many award shows that I didn't
Speaker 1: know this. Yeah, I was in France, and maybe that's
Speaker 1: what made him talk different. He's surrounded by French people
Speaker 1: and he wanted to sound a little Jim Carrey popped
Speaker 1: up and everybody reacted the same way. Everybody was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on with this? Why is
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey? He looks different, his face is different, Why
Speaker 1: does his voice sound different? What the hell is going on?
Speaker 1: And that that was It was something that popped up
Speaker 1: in my feed so many times now. I don't know
Speaker 1: if maybe this is one of those tough things where
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey is just getting a little older and people
Speaker 1: are like, where's the guy from ace Ventura And you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: you know, people age, men, women, they age.
Speaker 4: Let people age. It's okay, he's sixty four. He can't
Speaker 4: have the spiky hair as much, you know.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, he can't be talking with his butt cheeks
Speaker 1: any longer. He's a grown man. You've gotta at some
Speaker 1: point get past that. I ask you a couple of questions.
Speaker 1: Right around, his eyeballs looked very, very different, and in
Speaker 1: his face and his smiles looked different. And also his
Speaker 1: voice sounded different, Like I want you to think about
Speaker 1: what Jim Carrey sounds like in your head right now
Speaker 1: as you're listening to the show TG right then there
Speaker 1: exactly Yeah on cue, TDG on YouTube says the lizard
Speaker 1: people got him and he talked about it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it might be what's happening here, but picture him
Speaker 1: just like Sabrina and Sea leg did in your head.
Speaker 1: Listen to what you used to think Jim Carrey's voice
Speaker 1: sounds like. And then this is what he sounded like
Speaker 1: at this award show where he showed up with a
Speaker 1: new face.
Speaker 9: You know, I wrote it and I researched it and
Speaker 9: I practiced it like crazy, but you know it's Uh.
Speaker 9: Then I watched everybody like talking a thousand miles an
Speaker 9: hour up there receiving their awards, and I was like,
Speaker 9: I'm dead, But is there like a weird hush he's doing?
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you're supposed to be quiet.
Speaker 5: I'm so distracted by his face that I I am
Speaker 5: having a hard time hearing that voice a little bit.
Speaker 5: I can hear Jim Carrey if you close your eyes,
Speaker 5: but then you look and I don't recognize that dude,
Speaker 5: his face looks different, eiler Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, something is a little different on him. And somebody
Speaker 1: says looks like plastic surgery. To me, I would people
Speaker 1: get this stuff done all the time, So if he
Speaker 1: did plastic surgery like whatever or bro just I thought,
Speaker 1: I like, maybe my theories on this are TOPI but
Speaker 1: when I saw my girl, maybe he's doing a big
Speaker 1: comeback and he's got some new character that he's going
Speaker 1: to be doing in a movie, and then this is
Speaker 1: part of his rollout of the characters like a whispery
Speaker 1: guy who's kind of like this soft spoken joker type
Speaker 1: character stakes And I was like a novice mystic. I
Speaker 1: felt a lot of love, and I felt a lot
Speaker 1: of appreciation that I tried and what I said was true.
Speaker 1: And I really wanted to recognize my family. I wanted
Speaker 1: to recognize my dad. He's so quiet he is. There
Speaker 1: is something his delivery is strange, and maybe it's just
Speaker 1: like this is a quiet place and he's saying, this
Speaker 1: is the right thing for me to do.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: I don't want to raise my voice too much. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's it. I literally don't know, but there were a
Speaker 1: lot of people transfixed by these clips of Jim Carrey
Speaker 1: this weekend. Somebody says it doesn't sound like him, Yeah, don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think it does. I think he sounds very different.
Speaker 1: He's got four or five mic shoved in his face.
Speaker 1: He's at this award show, and he's like, who the
Speaker 1: hell is this guy?
Speaker 9: My dad was the type of person that, if you've
Speaker 9: met him soft, you felt like he knew him for
Speaker 9: fifty years.
Speaker 1: There he is Jim Carrey. Sixteen million views on one
Speaker 1: copy of that video, sixteen million views of people saying,
Speaker 1: what in the hill is going on right there?
Speaker 4: I mean I could offer some audio to put these
Speaker 4: things into perspective. Jim Carrey before Kim, Jim Carrey could
Speaker 4: just talk differently than he used to.
Speaker 1: You know, people's voices of all. I guess prostitution at
Speaker 1: truck stops and lot lizard is what they call a
Speaker 1: whore at a truck stop, say, running around the lot.
Speaker 1: That guy sounds exactly the same as me. I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: You know that there's higher pitch sean available in the system.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's more different that? Or the Jim Carrey new voice?
Speaker 1: My voice here? You hear me talking right now? This
Speaker 1: is just me talking into a microphone. I'm blabbing. I'm
Speaker 1: talking in the old mem go ahead.
Speaker 4: Old you all right, let's get a different one because
Speaker 4: you're grabbing another clip. Bring it seemed to think that
Speaker 4: wasn't early enough. Okay, I'm looking here. This is These
Speaker 4: are twenty thirteen. It's like, oh my god, I really
Speaker 4: strewed up now, like, oh my god, it's just me talking.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: We need us.
Speaker 5: So it gets dark and then lay so it's like
Speaker 5: we're moving up them, hugging.
Speaker 2: She's wiping tears and it's kind of like a Strobe
Speaker 2: effect too.
Speaker 1: We all sounded different thirteen years ago that.
Speaker 5: We had an old studio back then. Were they pumping
Speaker 5: helium into Sean and my room?
Speaker 2: We don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. It's very odd. I have
Speaker 1: heard that your voice changes over the years. I have
Speaker 1: heard that you know, these things will happen. I'm a vampire.
Speaker 1: I don't know why my voice sounds different, but I
Speaker 1: agree that it does. Sabrinas does too. Ceiling just kind
Speaker 1: of sounds the same for some reason. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what's going on there, But
Speaker 1: does does my face look different, do I I mean,
Speaker 1: I yah, Jim Carrey still looks good. Though he still
Speaker 1: looks good to not saying he's ugly. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, falling apart. I'm just saying he
Speaker 1: looks like a different guy. He looks like a different
Speaker 1: human being. He's a he's in a long hair face.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he is.
Speaker 5: Say what about the cheeks in the nose and the
Speaker 5: different color eyes.
Speaker 1: It's like right there, eyes cheeks, face. Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: a lot of guys are scared of when you get
Speaker 1: old and the guys get the bags underneath your eyes,
Speaker 1: get very, very scared of that happening to you. Other
Speaker 1: than Sea Lan, I don't think he's he's worried about it.
Speaker 1: I get worried about it. You know, you look like Sealing,
Speaker 1: You sound like Seelan, You look like Zelan. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I bet there's some long nights with Jackson where you
Speaker 1: wake up and all of a sudden, the next morning
Speaker 1: you're like, oh God, this is this is a rough
Speaker 1: version of me right now, tough tough times. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get to you, your feedback, your dispatches. But Jim Carrey's
Speaker 1: reps are denying all the conspiracies out there that he
Speaker 1: was wearing a disguise. There was another viral clip of
Speaker 1: people's somebody said they were a makeup artist, and they
Speaker 1: said the whole thing was fake. Here's the mask that
Speaker 1: I use. Jim Carrey's people said no. They said his
Speaker 1: visit was planned since this summer. He was touched by
Speaker 1: the invitation. He worked on his speech in French for months,
Speaker 1: asking about how to pronounce all these words. He came
Speaker 1: with his partner's daughter, his grandson, and twelve close friends
Speaker 1: and family members and his publicist. And he is the
Speaker 1: real Jim Carrey, they said. They said, despite what people think,
Speaker 1: I put it up on see it now, go check
Speaker 1: it out over on the newsjunkie dot com. Vicky says,
Speaker 1: I even jumped at Sabrina's voice that was sounded we
Speaker 1: sounded different back then.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize my voice is so hot.
Speaker 4: Well, here was at Zea Len twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1: Where they call it a stag knight, I think, or
Speaker 1: a stag party over here called a bachelor party, right,
Speaker 1: but they were throwing a bachelor party for their friend.
Speaker 1: And it seems to get more and more extreme as
Speaker 1: time goes by. Okay, okay, that's then. This is now,
Speaker 1: this is more and more extreme as time goes by.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: Maybe what happens is this is when we become lizard people,
Speaker 1: as I clearly had become a lizard person. They zap
Speaker 1: you up like the old fashioned UFO arrives with the
Speaker 1: tractor beam, you know, pulls you up, and then when
Speaker 1: you get up there they go. You think we're gonna
Speaker 1: probe you, don't you? And I'm a bent over. I'm like, yep,
Speaker 1: so I know what's happening. I've seen all the TVs.
Speaker 1: He's vent sure, just you know, talking with it, like
Speaker 1: give it to me, and I've got the but cheeks flapping,
Speaker 1: and Jesus Christ, how far into them? Monday? Sha are we?
Speaker 1: And I'm as I'm doing it?
Speaker 4: They go, you gotta wash all that out before even
Speaker 4: Coffel gets here. You know, you gotta the lizard people
Speaker 4: don't care about probing you, Sean.
Speaker 1: It's only a voice thing. We got Jim Carrey, we
Speaker 1: got you, all the biggest stars doing all of them
Speaker 1: out there. Let us know what you think. Send a
Speaker 1: dispatch over at Thenewsjunkie dot Com Another moment I wanted
Speaker 1: to bring to you, this one going viral over the
Speaker 1: weekend six point six million views. In the basketball locker
Speaker 1: room a player by the name of Austin Reeves of
Speaker 1: the LA Lakers. He was in the locker room doing
Speaker 1: an interview on Sportsnet. So Austin Reeves is doing an
Speaker 1: interview on Sportsnet talking about the basketball game and Luka
Speaker 1: Doncicic don the d o n c I see Luca
Speaker 1: don's I know, I know he's famous. I know he's famous,
Speaker 1: all right. But Luca was in the locker room with
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves after this LA Lakers basketball game that Luka
Speaker 1: Doncic is across the room as he's doing this interview
Speaker 1: and he keeps like throwing his at him as he's
Speaker 1: tripping down naked in the locker room behind them, and
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves of the Lakers almost said something. You tell
Speaker 1: me what he almost said? Oh here goes all right,
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves of the Lakers almost said something to Luca
Speaker 1: don dungech dunge Luca done. Yeah, here here we go.
Speaker 1: Tell me what he almost said, throwing stuff at him
Speaker 1: like thrown stuff he said. He said he hit the
Speaker 1: brakes on that. He said, you're you're such a The
Speaker 1: allegations were that he was about to drop the F word.
Speaker 4: For gaze or that or the word the W said
Speaker 4: something like a yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought when I heard in the media, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: we know this. We don't know sports, but I know
Speaker 1: what it sounds like to realize you're saying the F
Speaker 1: word and you're not allowed to say it because you'll
Speaker 1: lose the license for the radio stations you're on at
Speaker 1: the moment, you'll probably lose your job. Just pack it up, buddy,
Speaker 1: grabbed the rope because it's over with. I think this.
Speaker 4: Was the when you lose your job. Yeah, what else
Speaker 4: do I have to do? Might as well just wrap.
Speaker 1: It up, Just get in the pod and hit the button.
Speaker 1: Here's what he said, one more time. Is he saying
Speaker 1: the F word for gays or the actual F word?
Speaker 1: I think he's. I think he was going to say,
Speaker 1: you fing something got you in president, freaking idiot all right,
Speaker 1: went to freaking that time. But here we go, he's
Speaker 1: getting hit with something twice. He said he didn't get
Speaker 1: He said, you didn't get anything got you in President
Speaker 1: freaking idiot. Yeah, I think he was going to drop
Speaker 1: the F word.
Speaker 4: An idiot, freaking idiot and Napoleon Dynamite.
Speaker 1: Come on, freaking idiot. It looks like Luca is one
Speaker 1: of those guys. And there's so many athletes like this
Speaker 1: that are fine with being in a locker room full
Speaker 1: of other men and just dropping it out, just just
Speaker 1: getting completely naked, take off your clothes, and he's like
Speaker 1: throwing his clothes at the other guy. I don't know
Speaker 1: where that comes from, but I never had that money, dude.
Speaker 4: I've said before, there have been very few times that
Speaker 4: I've been in a locker room like that. But in
Speaker 4: the later years of me taking karate, we did it
Speaker 4: at an actual gym and there was a locker room
Speaker 4: and there was like two dudes. I think there were
Speaker 4: father and son too, which made it even weirder weird.
Speaker 4: There were two dudes that like would get go to
Speaker 4: the locker room to change and both of them would
Speaker 4: just walk around hanging down.
Speaker 1: And I was pretty young. I would never do that,
Speaker 1: Like if we were in a shower, if we were
Speaker 1: in the locker room together, Selan, would you like if
Speaker 1: we if we got sweaty. Let's say we were playing
Speaker 1: sports football of some type and we've both we had
Speaker 1: gotten sweaty, and then we both had to go back
Speaker 1: into the office or something. Oh yeah, would you get
Speaker 1: completely naked in the locker room? Would you go in?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't either. I wouldn't either.
Speaker 2: Jeans.
Speaker 1: Who are the people who do that? Would you? Would
Speaker 1: you do that in the women's locker room? Sabirna?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah you what?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Of the videos of women's locker rooms that I've seen start,
Speaker 1: let's let let's clarify something here. We might as well
Speaker 1: take this. The trope is in the women's locker room,
Speaker 1: women are just topless, nonchalant, no big deal, wopping out
Speaker 1: the t's and flowing them around out accurate or not
Speaker 1: accurate in the locker room?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say accurate depending on what team is there.
Speaker 5: If you're going to a gym that you're a member of,
Speaker 5: I don't know if the woppin out of teas is
Speaker 5: as common versus like, Okay, you're turned around, You're not
Speaker 5: going to go in a stall to change. You're kind
Speaker 5: of just taking the things off and on. Everyone respects themselves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think women care less about being naked around
Speaker 1: other women than guys care about being naked around other guys.
Speaker 1: That's my theory. I don't know if that's true or not,
Speaker 1: but myself, I don't want to be naked and like
Speaker 1: I'm not taking a shower with people watching. That seems
Speaker 1: really weird to me. Or you have mega confidence, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if you're one of those people.
Speaker 1: Let us know what goes through your system. Is that
Speaker 1: like a thing you learned at home? Is that like
Speaker 1: you grew up different? Tell us what's going on there?
Speaker 1: All right? Quick break? When we come back, We've got
Speaker 1: huge news in the television world that we need to mention.
Speaker 1: Apple is dropping announcements today and apologies to their employees
Speaker 1: for the announcements. What's this all about?
Speaker 7: That is coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 1: There were a lot of weird moments over the weekend
Speaker 1: where it looked like people were responding to the United
Speaker 1: States and Israel bombing Iran by like attacking people in
Speaker 1: the United States. And one of them looks like that
Speaker 1: absolutely happened. One of them was a guy in Texas
Speaker 1: who went into an Austin, Texas bar basically, and he
Speaker 1: was wearing a shirt that said property of Allah. And
Speaker 1: then he killed two people and wounded fourteen on Sunday
Speaker 1: at this bar. Then police showed up and they shot
Speaker 1: and killed the gunman, who had a pistol a rifle
Speaker 1: on him at a place called Buford's Backyard Beer Garden.
Speaker 1: And I know nothing about this place, but I guess
Speaker 1: it's been there for at least a little while. Sounds fun.
Speaker 1: It's on Sixth Street in Austin, which, if you're familiar
Speaker 1: with the area, Sixth Street is sort of like the
Speaker 1: downtown in Austin. And this guy just shows up, pops
Speaker 1: off a shot outside, and walks into this Buford's Backyard
Speaker 1: Beer Garden. And apparently as retaliation for the United States
Speaker 1: and Israel bombing Iran, this guy shoots up the place,
Speaker 1: kills a couple of people, wounds over a dozen. He
Speaker 1: drove past the bar several times before he shot the
Speaker 1: through the window of his suv at people on a
Speaker 1: patio and in front of the bar. Then he parked,
Speaker 1: got out with a rifle and began shooting at people
Speaker 1: walking along the street before officers rushed to the intersection,
Speaker 1: confronted and shot him. Three of the injured were in
Speaker 1: critical condition as of yesterday, so we'll have to see
Speaker 1: what's going on with that now. The gunman was identified
Speaker 1: as this fifth three year old dude, Nadiaga Diangi and
Speaker 1: Nadiyaga Dangi I think is the guy's name. I'm doing
Speaker 1: my best, but I really don't care if I offend him.
Speaker 1: Let's see what we got here. This is the shooter.
Speaker 1: He was a guy from Senegal, born in Senegal and
Speaker 1: was in Austin, Texas. Reportedly back at his house had
Speaker 1: photos of the Iranian leadership and a flag and stuff.
Speaker 1: And then it's been a conspiracy crazy because people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is such a plant. His hoodie says property of
Speaker 1: a law right on it. That must have been fake.
Speaker 1: This must have been a setup. I just think he
Speaker 1: wanted to send a message. I think he wanted to
Speaker 1: send a message, and that's what he did at this
Speaker 1: bar in Austin. And that wasn't even the only one,
Speaker 1: by the way. One thing before I get to one
Speaker 1: of the other things that happened. When first responders went
Speaker 1: to show up to the bar where this guy opened
Speaker 1: fire in Austin, Texas, there was a waymo block in
Speaker 1: the road. Look at this, there's a WEMO in front
Speaker 1: of the emergency vehicles. Just is it like that? I
Speaker 1: have no idea. It's like turning around or something and
Speaker 1: got stopped. And I don't know if the emergency lights
Speaker 1: confused these weymos, but these automated vehicles. As the first
Speaker 1: responder showed up, there was a WEIMO just like completely
Speaker 1: blocking the road.
Speaker 2: I mean at that point, ram it.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I think, yeah, so there was There's emergency
Speaker 1: vehicles from like both sides. So I think the WEIMO
Speaker 1: froze up and got confused and it just completely blocked
Speaker 1: the road. Finally, slowly but surely, it moves out of
Speaker 1: the way as people are filming it, you know, right
Speaker 1: right after all these shots were popped off in the
Speaker 1: middle of downtown Austin, Texas, and obviously people shocked by
Speaker 1: everything they were seeing out there. But then I see
Speaker 1: another story pop up in Virginia either And these folks
Speaker 1: are in Virginia and they said a man after a
Speaker 1: vehicle crash, got out of his car. Hold yourselves on
Speaker 1: this one, all right, brace yourself a little bit incoming
Speaker 1: in just a second. This guy he crashes his car.
Speaker 1: He gets out of his car with a knife and
Speaker 1: he attacks this woman and her dog. No, and he
Speaker 1: starts stabbing people after this crash that happened in Virginia,
Speaker 1: and the initial thought was like, oh is this somebody
Speaker 1: else mad about the attack on Iran and they're lashing out.
Speaker 1: They called for jihad, the Iranian government called for a jihad,
Speaker 1: and this is people stepping up and doing it. This
Speaker 1: was a road rage situation, actually it turned out to be.
Speaker 1: It was like a Virginia State trooper who shot and
Speaker 1: killed the man when he showed up on the scene.
Speaker 1: The guy stabbed four people and a dog on the
Speaker 1: Capitol Beltway in northern Virginia and what they say was
Speaker 1: a road rage attack. Not cool, bro. The man confronted
Speaker 1: the trooper with a knife and the trooper opened fire.
Speaker 1: According to Virginia Police, the man was shot, rushed to
Speaker 1: the hospital and died. It looks like that may not
Speaker 1: have been related. It may not have been related to
Speaker 1: the Austin thing, but absolutely bizarre nonetheless. And then there
Speaker 1: was a guy in Edinburgh, Scotland who is in photographs
Speaker 1: after he sparked some lockdowns and stabs some people and
Speaker 1: was just walking around with two big I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're chef's knives or what.
Speaker 2: What a weekend huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And this guy is believed to actually have
Speaker 1: done this in a response to the Iranian situation. So
Speaker 1: it was while bombs are flying, miss are flying, people
Speaker 1: are are reacting, and Iran just honestly in the middle
Speaker 1: of it. Kind of seems like they were really caught
Speaker 1: off guard or the biggest paper tiger in the world
Speaker 1: because the United States is kind of mopping the floor
Speaker 1: with the Iranian leader and the country. I think they
Speaker 1: may have air superiority over all of Iran in the
Speaker 1: next couple of days or something. So like this hasn't
Speaker 1: been It seems like there's a lot of situations where
Speaker 1: these countries go, we're going to do whatever we want,
Speaker 1: We're not going to make any deals with you America,
Speaker 1: and then they get Maduro and his wife in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night in their pjs with sleeping masks
Speaker 1: on and haul them back to the United States and
Speaker 1: throw them in prison. Or you don't make a deal
Speaker 1: about Iran not having nuclear weapons, and your whole leadership
Speaker 1: structure gets annihilated and the guy who's been in charge
Speaker 1: as the supreme leader of your country gets goosed within
Speaker 1: the first twenty four hours. And that's real life playing
Speaker 1: on in front of us. So we'll keep an eye
Speaker 1: on it. We'll watch it, we'll see what happens, and
Speaker 1: we'll keep you updated along the way. It's a lot
Speaker 1: going on today, so I want to hear from you.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is send us a dispatch
Speaker 1: over on the website Thethewsjunkie dot com. Let's see what
Speaker 1: we got here. Melanie emails the show. Melanie says I
Speaker 1: saw a video on Instagram this morning saying that Jim
Speaker 1: Carrey was an impersonator. There's a guy who does elaborate
Speaker 1: impersonations and creates mass for them. The guy has done
Speaker 1: it with several celebrities, but the only other one I
Speaker 1: remember is Glenn Close. That video, Melanie went mega viral.
Speaker 1: Not true, fake news, It is not true. I think
Speaker 1: I actually have something for this. Donna are used to
Speaker 1: or I don't know if I have it on the
Speaker 1: news software. But fake news alert, Yeah, that was not real.
Speaker 1: I had to go a long way for them. Another person,
Speaker 1: Kelly says, that's his double. That's Jim Carrey's double. A
Speaker 1: lot of these guys look just like the actor. My
Speaker 1: friend Jimmy is Jack Black stunt double and looks just
Speaker 1: like him. He even keeps the weight on. Most of
Speaker 1: the stunt guys I know don't look like the actor
Speaker 1: though it's obviously not the same person in the video circulating,
Speaker 1: and his name has already been revealed, says Kelly with authority, Kelly,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that is again fake news.
Speaker 4: Yeah, boy, do you favor your friends? Not really Jack
Speaker 4: Black stun double.
Speaker 1: Well, that part might be true, but this was Jim Carrey.
Speaker 1: He just looked different. If you want to see what
Speaker 1: made that go mega viral, go look at the video
Speaker 1: of Jim Carrey, listen to his voice and look at
Speaker 1: his face from his appearance this weekend that had people talking.
Speaker 1: That's on See it now over on the website The
Speaker 1: News chunky dot com, thenewsjunkie dot com. Quick break when
Speaker 1: we come back for the first time and what three
Speaker 1: weeks yep, three weeks. Our friend Amy Caffel's going to
Speaker 1: tell us on the show and see what she got
Speaker 1: on her mind, and see what she's talking about, see
Speaker 1: what stories are on her radar. We'll get the whole
Speaker 1: download with our friend Amy Caufeld.
Speaker 7: That's coming up next in the news junkie.
Speaker 1: It's Monday and his time. Let's welcome our friend Amy Kaffelt.
Speaker 1: There she is, euy Monday. Hey Amy, how are you good?
Speaker 2: I missed you too.
Speaker 1: It's been a while.
Speaker 11: See, nothing's happened since the last time we guys talked, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: So wild world out there with everything happening this week.
Speaker 1: You know, I was talking to somebody earlier. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if you have any similar experience to this, Amy,
Speaker 1: but I remember being a little kid, maybe twelve or something,
Speaker 1: maybe younger than I don't remember exactly what age, but
Speaker 1: when the first Amy also was a little kid. Yes,
Speaker 1: she had a similar experience when the first Iraq war happened.
Speaker 1: I remember going into my parents' room and they had
Speaker 1: the TV on and there was a reporter live in
Speaker 1: a rock like his bombs and missiles are going off
Speaker 1: and stuff, and you can kind of watch it. I go, Wow,
Speaker 1: this is weird. This is unbelievable. We're watching a war
Speaker 1: live and now, in twenty twenty six with everybody with
Speaker 1: a cell phone, even in a country where they keep
Speaker 1: shutting off the internet, so there are people can't get
Speaker 1: access to it in times like these when they're mowing
Speaker 1: them down and killing protesters and stuff. Even with all
Speaker 1: that going on, we still get the videos and photos
Speaker 1: for every angle of all of this stuff happening. And
Speaker 1: then you just wake up and use like a deluge
Speaker 1: of all of the war that happened that day. It's
Speaker 1: kind of crazy to see. And I think nobody kind
Speaker 1: of knows what's going on next. But is this something
Speaker 1: that even for you when you wake up and you're like,
Speaker 1: we're going to do good day, Orlando, We're going to
Speaker 1: focus on the audience, how do you decide, like, how
Speaker 1: much do we focus on something like Iran? Is this
Speaker 1: how do we make it relatable to the people who
Speaker 1: are way over here, so far away from it.
Speaker 11: Well, as you guys know, there were there were a
Speaker 11: lot of demonstrators downtown Orlando this weekend, people who you know,
Speaker 11: escape the Shaw back in the nineteen seventies, whose families,
Speaker 11: you know, experienced what it was like to live under
Speaker 11: the oppression and managed to get out before the regime
Speaker 11: change back then. And you know, we had a guy
Speaker 11: on this morning and just talking about.
Speaker 8: The history of that.
Speaker 11: I mean, I grew up with friends who escaped the
Speaker 11: Shaw and Iran people who who live here now and
Speaker 11: are you know, ecstatic to see what is happening because
Speaker 11: they feel like this is a shot at freedom, you know,
Speaker 11: potentially it's very similar to what we saw when Maduro
Speaker 11: was kicked out of office in Venezuela and we saw
Speaker 11: celebration and you know, but have we seen any major
Speaker 11: change in Venezuela. Not yet, but we see major change
Speaker 11: in Iran. I mean, I think that's the big question.
Speaker 11: So so we'll see what happens. I mean, I think
Speaker 11: it's one of those things where there's always a local
Speaker 11: angle Sean always and we have so many, as you
Speaker 11: saw in downtown Orlando this weekend, so many people of
Speaker 11: Iranian heritage who are right now just trying, many of
Speaker 11: them just trying to intake what's happening. We interviewed a
Speaker 11: couple who didn't want their faces shown on camera because
Speaker 11: they are still to this day can concern that somebody
Speaker 11: from Iran, you know, from the government might come and
Speaker 11: do something to them, even though they live here in Florida.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've seen that before. Yeah, I mean, there's some
Speaker 1: clips famous from ninety Day Fiance where the guy comes
Speaker 1: over from Iran and they're in on Bourbon Street in
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and he's like, this is unbelievable. There's like
Speaker 1: sex shops and there's like you know, like the guy's
Speaker 1: like blown away by what's happening because it's such a
Speaker 1: culture shock to him, and we're seeing all this.
Speaker 4: Curtain Street can be a pretty big culture shock for
Speaker 4: a lot of you know people, even.
Speaker 1: The Bible belters will be their world will be rocked
Speaker 1: a little bit, I think, But Bourbon Street could be
Speaker 1: a culture shock for Americans. Yeah. Yeah. So the thing
Speaker 1: that I think is interesting about all this is, as
Speaker 1: you see with Venezuela, at least so far, and as
Speaker 1: you're seeing now with Iran, there's something different going on here.
Speaker 1: It used to be amy that when we saw that
Speaker 1: American jets were bombing the desert and bombing all these
Speaker 1: Middle Eastern countries, that meant a whole bunch of young
Speaker 1: men we're going to have to get loaded up into vehicles,
Speaker 1: some young women along with them now and sent over
Speaker 1: to whatever this war zone was and be forced to
Speaker 1: die in a desert for whatever this cause is. It
Speaker 1: seems like now there's the new strategy is that it's
Speaker 1: all done by air, it's all done by sea, it's
Speaker 1: all done by drones, and there are very few people
Speaker 1: who end up actually on the ground or risking their
Speaker 1: lives on a more intense level for this. Of course,
Speaker 1: there's still people who have died and whatnot.
Speaker 5: A lot of civilians, right Versus in the past we
Speaker 5: were saying more combat action with humans, and now it's
Speaker 5: just the drones flying into buildings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and some people who are halfway across the world
Speaker 1: hitting buttons. But it's like it's not a boots on
Speaker 1: the ground kind of thing, or at least that's not
Speaker 1: what it looks like to me yet.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I know you're right, Sean, And everybody that we
Speaker 11: spoke to you this morning, including Congress members, said that
Speaker 11: this is a wholly different strategy. And you even heard
Speaker 11: President Trump talk about how the Iraqi war Operation Rocky
Speaker 11: freedom of how it was handled back when that happened,
Speaker 11: and the President was quoted as saying, many of the
Speaker 11: things that we did back then were dumb because we
Speaker 11: didn't realize right that that we were yeah to create
Speaker 11: to affect change. I think that the way they thought
Speaker 11: by putting boots on the ground now I'm just seeing
Speaker 11: this headline, Trump said. Trump says that he would potentially
Speaker 11: put boots on the ground in Iran if necessary, but
Speaker 11: but the strategy is to do this by air, and they.
Speaker 8: Do think that that is the most effective way.
Speaker 11: Here's the problem though, that the people of Iran have
Speaker 11: have been you know this is it's not like America,
Speaker 11: right that people of Iran don't have weapons. There is
Speaker 11: no Second Amendment there that you know that people have,
Speaker 11: you know, a stockpile of weapons in the house that
Speaker 11: if there's an uprising they.
Speaker 8: Can go out and defend themselves. That they don't have that.
Speaker 11: So so in order for them to affect change, you're
Speaker 11: truly going to have to wipe out current leadership and
Speaker 11: start over. A lot of people are saying like, oh, well,
Speaker 11: maybe the former king his son is the one who
Speaker 11: could take over, but you can't do that. I mean,
Speaker 11: there's so much infrastructure in it. It's just it's like
Speaker 11: there's such a huge.
Speaker 8: Amountain in front of them.
Speaker 11: It's just one of those things that I just don't
Speaker 11: know how they're going to be able to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're exactly right, because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people who go, well, the United States shouldn't be
Speaker 1: the police of the world, the global police and forcing
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. It takes local change to make
Speaker 1: this happen. I think that fails to realize the realities
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty six life, which is kind of what
Speaker 1: you were saying. In Venezuela. You can't go out and
Speaker 1: just get a gun. There's not gun ranges and gun
Speaker 1: stores and all that. In Iran very much the same thing.
Speaker 1: You're not building up your militia, and if you do,
Speaker 1: good luck going up against the Iranian government. We just
Speaker 1: saw what they did. They shut down the internet completely.
Speaker 1: They've done that again right now. They go out in
Speaker 1: the streets, they mow people down, and they kill people
Speaker 1: until they get tired of doing it, and then they
Speaker 1: go back to what they were doing before. So there's
Speaker 1: like this, you know, mid nineteen hundred's view of if
Speaker 1: everybody just rises up against the government, then they can
Speaker 1: overthrow the bad leadership themselves. I don't think that works.
Speaker 1: I don't know that this is going to work, but
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think I don't think that that works.
Speaker 1: But it's been a wild, wild weekend. What else is
Speaker 1: grabbing your attention out there? Amy Kufam.
Speaker 11: Well, you guys, obviously, that's the big story of the day,
Speaker 11: and that's the.
Speaker 8: One that we've been covering. You guys have seen.
Speaker 11: I mean, we're showing this morning the friendly fire situation
Speaker 11: over Kuwait that the fifteen fighter pilots that were shot down.
Speaker 11: Did you guys see those guys coming down? Yeah, that
Speaker 11: is insane. Yeah, they're walking around on the ground and
Speaker 11: they thank god they all survive.
Speaker 8: But that's crazy.
Speaker 11: So that video is really one that people are hearing
Speaker 11: on on it.
Speaker 1: Here's one sure the in Kuwait they accidentally shot down
Speaker 1: these three American jets. And here's one of the pilots.
Speaker 1: After he ejected, they grabbed him. He's in the back
Speaker 1: of a suv.
Speaker 8: But one minute.
Speaker 1: He's okay. Minute they said there was some sort of accident.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what happened just yet, but the
Speaker 1: pilots ejected. Is they shot these three American fighter jets
Speaker 1: down and the guy seems like he's okay. Now I'm
Speaker 1: no expert, but I would guess that he's just kind
Speaker 1: of chilling in the back of this suv because I
Speaker 1: bet ejecting out of a plane rocks your world. A
Speaker 1: little bit. We've all seen top Gun, yeah.
Speaker 8: Right, I mean that's that's our knowledge. Our knowledge is
Speaker 8: watching these.
Speaker 11: Movies and we're like goose, you know, it's like you
Speaker 11: can't help but think about these scenes from these movies
Speaker 11: that we've seen, and these guys are doing this in
Speaker 11: real life. And there's two pilots per plane, so six
Speaker 11: six pilots came down from this friendly fire incident. Yeah,
Speaker 11: and you can also imagine, you know, like gosh, like
Speaker 11: you can imagine these kuwaitis that that shot them down,
Speaker 11: like they're they're so true. Imagine like you imagine you're
Speaker 11: you're scared to death right that you're about to be
Speaker 11: attacked and you don't know, and then you're like you
Speaker 11: hit the button right, yeah, and then.
Speaker 5: Where you land, you have to just hope and pray
Speaker 5: that the people that find you are also not right and.
Speaker 1: Are Here's the footage For those of you watching on YouTube,
Speaker 1: you can watch over on YouTube dot com Slash the
Speaker 1: news Junkie. This is the footage I want to come
Speaker 1: back with. These images that are the fighter jet is
Speaker 1: just dropping out of the sky. Quite a lot of
Speaker 1: the lands there, so well lands, I say, crash land
Speaker 1: defence of QA two is updates. It was shot down
Speaker 1: there the pilot you can see the pilot ejecting fol
Speaker 1: but the pilot the pilots hit the ejection and and
Speaker 1: right here and the parachutes go up and then they
Speaker 1: just fly into the air. I could only imagine what
Speaker 1: that does to your body. It must, yeah, you must
Speaker 1: be kind of really with it as you land, and
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 4: You probably at the moment at least, would be chock
Speaker 4: full of adrenaline, just not feeling a damn thing until
Speaker 4: you find yourself hanging out in the back of an
Speaker 4: suv and letting it all come.
Speaker 1: In just one minute, you know, come down. It's crazy.
Speaker 8: Absolutely million dollars in aircraft.
Speaker 11: So this is basically you just two hundred and seventy
Speaker 11: million dollars in aircraft.
Speaker 8: Wow, down, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What was this? One person and hit the button
Speaker 1: on all those.
Speaker 11: That's a that's like three people they all hit the
Speaker 11: buttons at the same time.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's kind of the scariest button in the in the
Speaker 4: fighter jet. Like I think, if I started today, I
Speaker 4: would never get to a point where I could fly
Speaker 4: a fighter jet. But if you even let me in one.
Speaker 4: I would be terrified of the eject button.
Speaker 1: I'd feel like if I was a squid, I would
Speaker 1: accidentally ink all the time, And if I was a
Speaker 1: fighter jet pilot, I'd be like every little thing i'd hit,
Speaker 1: I want to hit the eject button, just like, oh no, no, my.
Speaker 2: Walleft for me to go faster than thirty miles an hour.
Speaker 1: Please. Somebody says you go from zero to two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty miles per hour in like a second, just
Speaker 1: right out into the air, and it's weird. My eyes
Speaker 1: just went down on my knees. Yeah. Ejection seats is
Speaker 1: according to Insecure Walrus on YouTube, ejection sets typically pulled
Speaker 1: between twelve and twenty g's. Oh gosh, I mean I've
Speaker 1: seen people doing these tests for NASA and such. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're trying to stay awake and they're like four g's,
Speaker 1: five g's and then they're like getting pushed back into
Speaker 1: the chair at sixties and seven. But twenty g's, man,
Speaker 1: I don't even know how that would be.
Speaker 8: Now, they're very lucky to be alive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what else? What else is grabbing your attention
Speaker 1: out there?
Speaker 11: The story out of Austin, Texas, I wish. I mean,
Speaker 11: I feel like all the news is bad today. That
Speaker 11: of Austin, Texas had happened every week and heartbreaking. We're
Speaker 11: starting to now hear about who some of these victims
Speaker 11: were that were that were killed. This was believed to
Speaker 11: be a terrorist attack on these kids, and you know,
Speaker 11: they were kids. They were kids at a bar on
Speaker 11: a on a Saturday night, Sunday morning, you know, just
Speaker 11: out doing what kids do. And we're hearing now a
Speaker 11: second Universe, second year university student from Texas Tech was
Speaker 11: among the victims. His name is Writer Harrington, confirmed by
Speaker 11: by his family.
Speaker 8: He was a.
Speaker 11: Texas Tech frat kid, you know, at a bar like
Speaker 11: we all did in college.
Speaker 8: You know, you're just out having a good time.
Speaker 11: And sadly and sadly, we know at least two, potentially
Speaker 11: three of these students were killed.
Speaker 8: And it looks like.
Speaker 11: The gunman was was shot by police. I guess he
Speaker 11: didn't put a gun down and they shot him, is
Speaker 11: what we're hearing. This guy was a national US national
Speaker 11: from Senegal, and you guys saw the sweatshirt that he was,
Speaker 11: you know, allegedly all the times happened and apparently was
Speaker 11: wearing a shirt with an Iranian flag on it underneath
Speaker 11: his sweatshirt. Sweatshirt I believe said property of Allah, right,
Speaker 11: I don't know just and there is some concern obviously
Speaker 11: that everybody needs to be on their toes that there
Speaker 11: could be sleeper cells.
Speaker 8: Yeah, who have you know?
Speaker 11: But this guy apparently came into the country under the
Speaker 11: Clinton administration.
Speaker 8: I mean he's been here a long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is sewing or this maybe snapped.
Speaker 1: Who knows. I don't even know if we know yet,
Speaker 1: But maybe he was just waiting for a moment. They're like,
Speaker 1: all right, when something happens, I'll be ready to go
Speaker 1: and then I'll unleash hell on on America. And I
Speaker 1: saw people this weekend Amy do the thing that I
Speaker 1: always talk about this happening to me when there was
Speaker 1: those shootings in was it was it Washington, DC where
Speaker 1: the sniper was Yeah, when that was going down and you're.
Speaker 11: At the National guardsmen or that just the guy that
Speaker 11: was like on the on the side of the road shooting.
Speaker 1: Lee Boyd Malva was his name, I think, and my
Speaker 1: useless factoid brain on news stories only, or maybe that
Speaker 1: was the the younger guy with him, whoever was that
Speaker 1: was so far away. It was like so so far
Speaker 1: away from where I was at the time, And I
Speaker 1: remember going to the gas station and like kind of
Speaker 1: looking left and right and duck, like, am I going
Speaker 1: to get shot at the gas station? People keep getting
Speaker 1: shot at the gas station, And people are starting to
Speaker 1: kind of do that a little bit with this already,
Speaker 1: Like is there going to be some revenge attack because
Speaker 1: of our bombs killing the Iranian leader? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. Nobody knows what's going to happen. Next. Another
Speaker 1: question for you, Amy, are you an Apple or Android? Goo?
Speaker 1: Which one?
Speaker 8: I'm an Apple. Guys, when we're all in a group
Speaker 8: text together.
Speaker 1: I answer that question because she's not a Green Texter. True. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did see Did you see that this Samsung that
Speaker 1: they kind of rolled out this past weekend and it
Speaker 1: had the as the feature where you can hide stuff
Speaker 1: on your phone. I saw somebody using Yeah. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I saved this here.
Speaker 8: Oh it's so crazy Samsung phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the new Samsung phone. Here it is. This
Speaker 1: is a woman using it on the subway and she's
Speaker 1: on her phone and you could clearly see from an angle,
Speaker 1: like you could see the woman's phone. You can see
Speaker 1: the messages, you can see what she's looking at all. Right,
Speaker 1: she's scrolling and then she hits the security button. Boom,
Speaker 1: you can't see anything.
Speaker 2: Awesome. I love that.
Speaker 1: She's now doing the same thing, scrolling the internet. But
Speaker 1: she put the privacy mode on and it goes from
Speaker 1: being able to see everything that was on the phone
Speaker 1: with perfect clarity to now I can't see anything.
Speaker 2: I'm on Apple.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 11: I thought that there's there's like a certain like screen
Speaker 11: protector you can get.
Speaker 5: On your phone you could turn on and off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you could, you could turn it on for
Speaker 1: certain features and stuff. Yeah, this one's seeing me.
Speaker 4: Like imagine, you know, you're on your phone browsing the
Speaker 4: web or watching the you know, watching your TikTok's uh
Speaker 4: the amy koffelt TikTok feed. And but you could if
Speaker 4: you got a notification like a text message or something
Speaker 4: only that could be privacied out or stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Like I think they're letting you pick and choose. But
Speaker 4: overall it's happening in the screen, and it's not some
Speaker 4: sticker or some sort of cover you have to put on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's crazy. I mean.
Speaker 8: Texting me, but then.
Speaker 1: Phone same Come on, there's got to be some super
Speaker 1: secret Fox convos you're having from time to time, and
Speaker 1: is hey, here's our strategy coming up for the sweeps
Speaker 1: whenever those happen. Yeah, I mean we wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to see what was going on.
Speaker 11: Although you ever do that thought, like you're like if
Speaker 11: you're on an airplane or you're like on public transport.
Speaker 11: I do have a tendency to do that sometimes where
Speaker 11: I'll just be like kind of like glance over and
Speaker 11: be like.
Speaker 2: Find somebody in an airplane and I can see I'm
Speaker 2: reading it.
Speaker 1: This is cop This is my flying with Matt Gates.
Speaker 11: This is one of the craziest stories.
Speaker 1: This is mega cope, Sabrina. But I do the same thing,
Speaker 1: and I always tell myself, what do they think is
Speaker 1: going to happen? You're reading your text messages in public
Speaker 1: on a plane. Of course I'm gonna read them.
Speaker 2: And that's the largest font.
Speaker 5: So get some readers on a pharmacy screen, or I'm
Speaker 5: gonna read your business.
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to you're putting in my face?
Speaker 1: Am I supposed to purposely look away? You're putting it
Speaker 1: in front of me. I'm not being nosy.
Speaker 4: The font thing is hilarious too, because it's like if
Speaker 4: my mom had secrets, everybody on the plane would know
Speaker 4: that bigger than the tail number.
Speaker 1: You gotta be careful, you do. Yeah, all right there?
Speaker 1: She is the woman with nothing to hide on her phone.
Speaker 1: I just know it. I believe her through and through.
Speaker 1: She's the best of the best. You can watch her
Speaker 1: every single day on the news. She'll get you all
Speaker 1: caught up with everything that you need to know. On
Speaker 1: good Day Orlando. Beyond that, follow Amy Kaufelt on all
Speaker 1: social media platforms. Search for Amy Kaufelt to follow along
Speaker 1: and keep up to date with everything happening in her
Speaker 1: world and around the world. Just like that, Amy Kaufelt,
Speaker 1: I love you. She's so good. She's so good. Here
Speaker 1: she goes Amy Kaufelt from Fox thirty five. We still
Speaker 1: got to talk about Apple dropping some announcements out there,
Speaker 1: and then Apple, with these announcements came out and they
Speaker 1: apologized to their employees. So we know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: We know what's gonna happen. We apologize ahead of time.
Speaker 1: What was going on with this. We'll get to that
Speaker 1: details coming up next. On the news junk kie. You
Speaker 1: wake up on a daylight today and you see stories
Speaker 1: where you go, WHOA, hold on, Now, that's just that's
Speaker 1: a step too far. That's a shot at my living,
Speaker 1: that's a shot at what I do. What are you?
Speaker 1: What are you doing out there? And I speak of
Speaker 1: talk radio. There are stories today about talk radio. Now.
Speaker 1: I love talk radio. I hope if, even if you're
Speaker 1: new to this show, you grow to love talk radio.
Speaker 1: I hope that you realize spoken word radio is the
Speaker 1: only thing that has a chance to survive the digital apocalypse.
Speaker 1: You don't need and I hate to say this to
Speaker 1: my brethren in the music side of this business. I
Speaker 1: hate to say this to you, but you don't need
Speaker 1: those people to talk to you between songs. You you
Speaker 1: don't wo I'm sorry, whoa, You don't really need that.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not really a huge thing. It's really
Speaker 1: not those Those jobs probably are ticking time bombs there.
Speaker 1: They're only gonna last for so long. This is something
Speaker 1: a little bit different. You get to hear somebody and
Speaker 1: hang out with them and just enjoy your day hopefully
Speaker 1: and hopefully we drag you through it a little bit.
Speaker 1: But this, this feels like a shot over the bow.
Speaker 1: The story today that I saw him says, talk radio
Speaker 1: just got moved down a peg. In a first, Americans
Speaker 1: are now giving more of their talk time attention to
Speaker 1: podcasts rather than traditional talk radio. By god, podcasts taking over.
Speaker 1: As far as I shut you mate, it's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell they were waiting for. Just now.
Speaker 1: A new share of Ears survey from Edison Research find
Speaker 1: podcasts edging past AMFM spoken word broadcast for the first time,
Speaker 1: claiming forty percent of spoken word listening versus thirty nine percent.
Speaker 1: So of the people who listen to humans talk like this,
Speaker 1: like you listening to this show, people talk about viral
Speaker 1: stuff on the show here for the news Junkie. The
Speaker 1: people who listen to talk content, forty percent of them
Speaker 1: are now getting their spoken word content from podcasts and
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent less than getting it from AMFM radio.
Speaker 1: Back in twenty fifteen, it was seventy five percent AMFM
Speaker 1: radio and podcast ten percent. It was seventy five to ten.
Speaker 1: The podcasts are getting bigger, including our own podcast, which
Speaker 1: it kind of feels like we're traders against ourselves and
Speaker 1: our own profession over here we're streaming to keep things
Speaker 1: moving in the right direction. We're on YouTube and Twitch,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people seem to be going in
Speaker 1: these different directions. If you want to go in that direction,
Speaker 1: please just subscribe to the podcast on iHeartRadio or at
Speaker 1: the news junky dot com. They estimate one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifteen million Americans now listen to podcasts every single week.
Speaker 1: How many people listen to the News Junkie one hundred
Speaker 1: and fourteen million. Just one shot, one shy right under
Speaker 1: our omuk right, you know, right there. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: so close. Just yeah, you reach for it. Nicole on
Speaker 1: YouTube says, I love live talk. I do too, and
Speaker 1: that was sort of the thing that drew me into it.
Speaker 1: Like I could still remember the shows that I would
Speaker 1: listen to that would get me through my work day.
Speaker 1: Shows hopefully like this show is to you when I
Speaker 1: was delivering water, and I remember so distinctly. If the
Speaker 1: show wasn't live, if it was I'm best of, it
Speaker 1: would mostly ruin my day. If the show was something
Speaker 1: out of the ordinary, like a live show, and like
Speaker 1: the sound wasn't where I was expecting it to be,
Speaker 1: the sound quality was different, would ruin my day. But
Speaker 1: if I showed up and the radio show that I
Speaker 1: liked listening to was there and they were hanging out
Speaker 1: with me, it dragged me through my day, made me
Speaker 1: laugh a couple of times, gave me some interesting things
Speaker 1: to think about, and then boom, we moved on to
Speaker 1: the next thing. Well that's what I liked, That's what
Speaker 1: I like. But more people are moving over to podcasting
Speaker 1: for this sort of content, and there's a lot of
Speaker 1: You listen to this right now on a podca cast.
Speaker 1: You might be listening on a million different platforms, but
Speaker 1: you're listening to the podcast world. Whereas back in the day,
Speaker 1: we were doing podcasts to nobody. When I first started podcasting,
Speaker 1: there was barely RSS feeds and stuff. You were doing
Speaker 1: a podcast to nobody. It was like, why even do this?
Speaker 1: What's happening here?
Speaker 4: Well, when we first first started offering podcasts as a company,
Speaker 4: they were like, make sure these are just small clips
Speaker 4: of your show, just little little like little segments, little
Speaker 4: best of little things.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, Yeah, that's how it goes. We consumer says
Speaker 1: best of is not as good, or podcasts yeah ruins
Speaker 1: my day, and I go listen to the same three
Speaker 1: songs of a looping music, as you said, still has
Speaker 1: traffic and weather though. Yeah, I mean I think that
Speaker 1: that's what I try to think about. It's why I've
Speaker 1: always tried to do this show in a particular way,
Speaker 1: because it got me through the day, and I think
Speaker 1: it will get a lot of people through the day.
Speaker 1: And I absolutely love when when you'll see zoomers on
Speaker 1: time every once in a while online rather every once
Speaker 1: in a while late a lot, they're late too. On
Speaker 1: time and online ceiling. You'll see the zoomers online and
Speaker 1: they'll go, God, if only there was a way to
Speaker 1: do like a like a live podcast. That should be
Speaker 1: a thing, they'll say, if only we had the technology
Speaker 1: to do it. We need to do an emergency podcast.
Speaker 1: But if only we could do it live somehow. Well,
Speaker 1: you know that's the joy of talk radio. But many
Speaker 1: of you going over to the podcast world just take
Speaker 1: us along with if you don't mind, go to the
Speaker 1: news junkie dot com for all the links. They're right
Speaker 1: there on the website. Let's see what we got. A
Speaker 1: couple of emails to squeak in. I still got the
Speaker 1: updates from Apple. I know I've been kicking that can
Speaker 1: down the road. Let me just get into a couple
Speaker 1: of things. I guess they announced Seilan. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw this, but they're like another one of
Speaker 1: those cheap iPhones. Yeah you got no, no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm a sixteen Pro.
Speaker 4: Now I have upgraded Richie rich this guy mag And
Speaker 4: also I don't know that I would go back to
Speaker 4: the cheap oiphone. There's reasons I liked that one, partly
Speaker 4: the cheapo part, but the sixteen the you know, my
Speaker 4: problem was I use a phone until it's like dead
Speaker 4: and buried, and I don't upgrade often. And that was
Speaker 4: to my detriment because when I got the sixteen Pro,
Speaker 4: they were like, hey, you can trade in any phone
Speaker 4: in any condition, as long as it's a fourteen or up.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't even have a fourteen.
Speaker 1: I think I was trying.
Speaker 4: I was asking around if anybody had like a fourteen
Speaker 4: that had been just like run over by a tractor.
Speaker 4: It just needed to be a physically like a fourteen,
Speaker 4: and and I couldn't even find that, and so I
Speaker 4: ended up like buying a used one, and that was fine,
Speaker 4: but I would have gotten the phone for free. There's
Speaker 4: features on the phone that I can't live without now.
Speaker 4: MagSafe is one of them, although MagSafe has been added
Speaker 4: to the new cheapot phone. But the pictures, especially having
Speaker 4: a baby. Now, I can't give up the thirteen.
Speaker 1: You got to get the high quality staff. They're releasing
Speaker 1: Apple today in their announcement, is releasing all new cheap stuff.
Speaker 1: So they have an entry level iPhone today. We'll get
Speaker 1: more into this in a little bit. They have an
Speaker 1: entry level cheap o iPad and a cheap o iPad air,
Speaker 1: and then a cheap o iPad, but they have a
Speaker 1: they have a cheap o MacBook. Now they're releasing a
Speaker 1: cheap version of everything of all of the things, and
Speaker 1: that includes a cheap Apple laptop, a cheap iPad, and
Speaker 1: iPad air bottom end is what they call it an
Speaker 1: entry level iPhone. So I don't know right now.
Speaker 2: To upgrade and get a nuts so cheap O item.
Speaker 1: Or do people want that damn Samsung thing we've been
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, like is that more of a
Speaker 1: draw for folks? The cheap iPhones they say will sell
Speaker 1: so many that Apple actually apologized to the workers. They
Speaker 1: released a message and they apologize to their own employees
Speaker 1: because they said, your stores are gonna get swamped with people.
Speaker 1: They're going to be poor people. They're going to be
Speaker 1: in there buying the cheap phones. And they warned their
Speaker 1: own employees like, I'm so sorry this is going to
Speaker 1: happen to you. So that's what's out there. They're announcing
Speaker 1: that they have a bunch of cheap versions of stuff.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that in a little bit here on
Speaker 1: the show. An email coming in tips to thenewsjunkie dot com.

Speaker 2: I let it go down, Rainbow making that sound.
Speaker 5: Hey, here we come on sac c.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't just track him. You want to CDs? No,
Speaker 1: I don't now he's ez nuts.
Speaker 5: Happy anniversary to CDs, which I still have forty of
Speaker 5: you in a binder in my car, just in case
Speaker 5: of the.
Speaker 1: Bluetooth written on silk.
Speaker 2: Yeahmo mix, cool mix, hands.
Speaker 1: Down mix, pants down mix. All right, you guys don't
Speaker 1: have a pants on mix.
Speaker 2: Most of my mixes are pants down.
Speaker 4: I never called it the pants sound mix because if
Speaker 4: she saw me getting out the pants down mix, and
Speaker 4: then you know I was being a little too uh yeah.
Speaker 2: Easy, easy.
Speaker 5: And now we go back to present day and the
Speaker 5: latest from a hole.
Speaker 1: Did you just hit your face on the microphone?
Speaker 5: This was that's West And who's the guy that was
Speaker 5: interviewing him?
Speaker 2: He looks familiar.
Speaker 1: He drew from Channel five Andrew calla.
Speaker 5: Okay, right is this interview seemed like we could have
Speaker 5: pulled so much more? But then again, every two seconds,
Speaker 5: Shilah buff was up and down and saying things and
Speaker 5: and saying things his lawyer specifically told him not to say. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and the biggest headline of them all was that big
Speaker 5: gay men scare him. True, and that's why I got
Speaker 5: in the fight. I sent you the clip that Fortunately
Speaker 5: no curse words in that.
Speaker 4: One, because he was he got in the fight because
Speaker 4: of the big gay men.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right.
Speaker 5: And the new interview, he admitted that his arrest in
Speaker 5: New Orleans last month was a direct result of him
Speaker 5: being afraid of big gay men.
Speaker 1: All right, here, I'll be honest with you. Big gay
Speaker 1: people are scary to me, Sorry, Peter. I mean when
Speaker 1: I'm like standing by myself and three gay dudes are
Speaker 1: next to me touching my leg, I get scared. Favorite
Speaker 1: part happens. I'm sorry. If that's homophobic, then then I'm that.
Speaker 1: If that's almost.
Speaker 5: Also added that it only happened that one time, and
Speaker 5: that's why I got arrested. I am, I'm wrong for
Speaker 5: touching people or anyone ever. Another potential reason for his phobia,
Speaker 5: he said, my dad was raped by his cousin, so
Speaker 5: he was in my ear all the time.
Speaker 1: Yikes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he clarified he's not against some sexuals.
Speaker 4: The funny part was growing up at Shilah Buff, his
Speaker 4: dad just went around talking about that all the time, Like,
Speaker 4: I guess, never shuts up about that cousin.
Speaker 5: Merry Christmas, unlike that Christmas, my cousin raped me.
Speaker 1: He wow, I am.
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna say banks because it was as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all right. I like the part where he
Speaker 1: was talking about and the guy, the Andrew Callian guy goes,
Speaker 1: is that what happened to you? Is that why there
Speaker 1: was this fight? These guys like touched you and they
Speaker 1: were bothering you, and then Shilah Buff goes, Oh, my
Speaker 1: attorney told me not to talk about any of these.
Speaker 1: It was my fault. You shouldn't put your hands on anybody.
Speaker 1: It's like, what with the most lawyer like line you
Speaker 1: could possibly go with? After that?
Speaker 5: Also, for the record, he does not have a drinking problem.
Speaker 5: According to Shilhaboff at least he doesn't think. He says
Speaker 5: his issue is small man complex.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: He was also re arrested by the way in New
Speaker 5: Orleans over the weekend, hit with an additional acount of
Speaker 5: simple battery related to that earlier incident, and released on
Speaker 5: five thousand dollars bounds.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, so they just added charges from the first thing.
Speaker 4: He didn't go back out and do more stuff. No, No,
Speaker 4: it was just from the initial thing. I think the
Speaker 4: person just like press charges or whatever.
Speaker 5: New Orleans ain't for you, Shia, I'm getting getting a
Speaker 5: vibe and some very sad news. But we did get
Speaker 5: the update on the cause of death of Little John's son,
Speaker 5: and according to reports, it's been revealed that it was
Speaker 5: an accidental drowning.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So the Fulton County Medical Examiner determined that Nathan Smith
Speaker 5: DJ name DJ Youngslade died from drowning in the setting
Speaker 5: of psilocybin.
Speaker 2: Use your magic mushroom.
Speaker 1: Oh and not.
Speaker 2: Good at all. The man was ruled as an accident.
Speaker 5: His body was found in a pond near Milton, Georgia,
Speaker 5: about thirty miles north of Atlanta, and that's where he lived.
Speaker 2: Just days after he was first reported missing.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, people get one shotted sometimes by these hallucinogenics.
Speaker 1: I was watching something about that that younger trans person
Speaker 1: in Canada that shot their family and then shot up
Speaker 1: the school, and there were some new details coming out
Speaker 1: about that person this weekend, and they had said that
Speaker 1: they were experimenting with mushrooms that they had they purchased online,
Speaker 1: and then they were posting on subreddits about doing mushrooms
Speaker 1: and they said, you know, I think I need to
Speaker 1: They were like thirteen or fourteen at this time, and
Speaker 1: the person who ended up shooting up the school and
Speaker 1: stuff said, I think I need to regulate myself a
Speaker 1: little better. I did shrooms this weekend and I burned
Speaker 1: my family's house down. And they were like, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily want to do that. I mean, I
Speaker 1: did it on purpose and you know, but I don't
Speaker 1: know necessarily want to do that again. So what should
Speaker 1: I put in place next time I take mushrooms? And
Speaker 1: Reddit is like, maybe you shouldn't be taking mushrooms.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the experiment have a buddy with you that
Speaker 5: is familiar with and keeps you away from destruction.
Speaker 1: No, but some people, I think just naturally take bad
Speaker 1: to hallucinogenics. I really think there's like this slice of
Speaker 1: mental illness where isn't it hallucinogens either way, hallucinogens whatever
Speaker 1: you want to say. I'm talking about shrooms, LSD all
Speaker 1: that stuff. People don't react well to it, and it
Speaker 1: makes one shots people just make them crazy right off
Speaker 1: the jump. Sometimes not good.
Speaker 5: And this is going to be crazy. But what a
Speaker 5: way to celebrate a death. I suppose according to reports
Speaker 5: April twenty first, we'll mark the tenth anniversary of whose death?
Speaker 4: Tenth anniversary April twenty first.
Speaker 1: Like a dog.
Speaker 5: Years Prince Prince's right, Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Give it a little kiss.
Speaker 1: That's not, that's not, that's not. You get a song
Speaker 1: called Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyways, there's gonna be a party, five day party.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Prince did some weird stuff, you know, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't something.
Speaker 2: Wasn't his butt all crazy because of the fentanyl.
Speaker 5: Probably they're going to celebrate his life and that's going
Speaker 5: to go down June third.
Speaker 1: You know what they say about fennel.
Speaker 2: I mean, give it a little kiss.
Speaker 5: I'm thinking about a butt then fentanyl, butd because there's
Speaker 5: so many shots in.
Speaker 1: That fedel makes you do a zombie and your legs
Speaker 1: turn into concrete so you don't fall over and your
Speaker 1: butt you got not good?
Speaker 5: Yeah, So that party, Party Time, Celebration of Life is
Speaker 5: gonna be five days starting June third in Minneapolis. Events

Speaker 5: kicking off with a DJ dance party, Nice and a
Speaker 5: Prince mural will be revealed, exclusive access to unreleased music

Speaker 5: on Instagram at Sabrina Ambromost importantly.
Speaker 2: Say it with me, you butts smopeed day.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Sabrina. You can join us on the show
Speaker 1: with dispatches or emails unless you got that Ventanyl butt
Speaker 1: situation going on.
Speaker 5: Was it it his or Michael Jackson's butt was like
Speaker 5: so messed up from all the shots of Ventanyl.
Speaker 1: No, Michael Jackson didn't have federoyl.
Speaker 5: He had the Yeah, I'm telling you, Prince, but google it.
Speaker 1: I never heard anything about either of their butts. I
Speaker 1: have limited knowledge on both butts. If I'm real with you,
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, it's not that I'm trying to
Speaker 1: avoid those conversations, it's just I haven't heard much about it.
Speaker 1: Prince was such a weird dude. I loved it. I
Speaker 1: love it. I love weirdos. I love people who are unpredictable.
Speaker 1: I even like Shilah buff I think he's a He's
Speaker 1: a weirdo in such an interesting way that we don't
Speaker 1: see anymore, and we don't usually see it. We see
Speaker 1: all these like very sanitized people in Hollywood and music.
Speaker 1: Music especially music was the home of people who could
Speaker 1: be weirdos. And now they all have like the same
Speaker 1: opinions and they do the same stuff and it's not
Speaker 1: a lot that makes people stand out. There's nobody that
Speaker 1: I can think of right now, like Prince there's nobody
Speaker 1: like that that I can think of right now. I
Speaker 1: might be out of touch. There might be some young
Speaker 1: upstart who is really really clever, and I'm.
Speaker 4: Trying to check um who would be the weirdest musician
Speaker 4: right now?
Speaker 2: But are they genuinely weird or they're just putting up
Speaker 2: an act?
Speaker 1: A lot of them are putting up an act. And also,
Speaker 1: not only was he genuinely weird, Prince also was a
Speaker 1: fantastic musician, like Unboo ridiculous. He was so so skilled
Speaker 1: a guitar and everything else. He had his studio in
Speaker 1: his house and you know, I just think anybody who
Speaker 1: has a studio in their house alone, it's cool.
Speaker 4: So there you go. Yeah, so turn out a lot
Speaker 4: of CDs there. But I got some CDs for you.
Speaker 1: I got some CDs. Okay, what is this? Is this by?
Speaker 1: Is this copyright?
Speaker 10: What?
Speaker 1: How the hell am I supposed to know? What? Am I?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 1: I know about the CD song for God's Sake.
Speaker 4: From the band who brought you U, Carmen san Diego
Speaker 4: and that Folgers song.
Speaker 1: But if you told me that was the Abercrome and
Speaker 1: Fitch group, I believe you. LFO. Yeah, if you said
Speaker 1: as you. You don't know Lfo's song about CDs and
Speaker 1: they have a whole song about it. Put the ZD
Speaker 1: in the CD player, keep on listen. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: gay or whatever the hell the game tune is. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's somebody an LFO how to Be Gay?
Speaker 2: Right dead? It's all dead?
Speaker 1: I believe, No, there's all dead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is at least one Lafts still classic classic
Speaker 4: boy bend All right, quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll hear from you. Send us
Speaker 1: a dispatch over at the news Junkie dot com, thenews
Speaker 1: chunky dot com. We got the update about that big
Speaker 1: Apple announcement. We got more info coming out of Iran.
Speaker 1: What could this mean for your gas prices? Everybody? Huh?
Speaker 1: How does it affect me? That's the question. And got
Speaker 1: some interesting info for you. It's coming up next in
Speaker 1: the News Junkie. Join us with a dispatcher an email
Speaker 1: to tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. There is a
Speaker 1: new law that is rolling through the process right now,
Speaker 1: and all the stories I see frame this. This is
Speaker 1: a Florida law for those of you listening somewhere else.
Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting though, and they're framing it
Speaker 1: as the license plate thing. You've heard of us talking
Speaker 1: about how all of a sudden they made a change
Speaker 1: to license plate frames in Florida. It was meant to
Speaker 1: get rid of license plates that would obscure your license,
Speaker 1: the license plate frames that would obscure your license or
Speaker 1: cover it up, so you could cruise through all the
Speaker 1: toll roads and not have to pay back those construction
Speaker 1: companies for all that work they put in. And now
Speaker 1: it caused a little chaos afterwards, but now people have
Speaker 1: kind of calmed down about it. But there's a new
Speaker 1: bill called HB five four three, And it's not the
Speaker 1: part about the license plate frames that interests me. If
Speaker 1: this pass is it's going to change something that I
Speaker 1: think is super interesting. Right. There's a couple of things
Speaker 1: in this. One is license plate readers. So it says
Speaker 1: private entities may install automated license plate recognition systems solely
Speaker 1: for use on their property, so long as it's for
Speaker 1: a public safety related purpose. So you can have your
Speaker 1: own license plate reader on your your private property and
Speaker 1: scan people's license plates. Do that before I guess you couldn't.
Speaker 1: I guess there was some laws about that that that
Speaker 1: you would want.
Speaker 4: To know that, because is it illegal for me to
Speaker 4: write down every license plate number?
Speaker 1: I see, I don't know, because that's kind of the
Speaker 1: same right.
Speaker 2: After.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have that information, and then it's not a
Speaker 5: matter of just googling the license plate you get.
Speaker 1: There KUTA bases. I think you pop them in and
Speaker 1: get the information. From my experience, I think you have
Speaker 1: to pay for some of them to get to get
Speaker 1: the information about whom's a license plate. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: So that's one thing that's in this HB five four
Speaker 1: to three. That's not the thing that really drives my
Speaker 1: attention this. A lot of you boomers might like this
Speaker 1: part of it. It also prohibits drivers from intentionally revving
Speaker 1: their engines in a way that produces excessive or unusual noise. Okay,
Speaker 1: so like some kit pulls up next to you with
Speaker 1: the top line, Wow, go to jail, straight to prison.
Speaker 1: See you later. Done. So that's one thing that's in
Speaker 1: this that's not the thing that comes to mind here.
Speaker 1: Golf carts. It addresses golf carts too. It allows a
Speaker 1: golf cart that's been converted to a low speed vehicle
Speaker 1: to be titled and registered registered for operation on roads
Speaker 1: with up to thirty five mile per hour speed limits
Speaker 1: without inspection by the DHSMV if the owner submits a
Speaker 1: written affidavit and the vehicle complies with state requirements. So
Speaker 1: you could drive golf carts on roads. All right, Okay,
Speaker 1: Disabled parking, we're still not to the part that really
Speaker 1: stands out, but we're almost there. Let's vehicles with a
Speaker 1: disabled parking permit and permanently installed mobility the access equipment
Speaker 1: to occupy more than one parking space when necessary. This
Speaker 1: allows the people in the handicap spots to take up
Speaker 1: two handicap spots if they're that handicap. No are it
Speaker 1: allows double handicap.
Speaker 4: I think it allows them to take up too, non
Speaker 4: handicap spots if all the handicap spots are taken.
Speaker 1: It says leeds. Vehicles with it take up more than
Speaker 1: one parking space when necessary, so long as no designated
Speaker 1: spaces are available to otherwise accommodate. Right. So maybe that Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like if you don't have the extra room and you
Speaker 1: can't unfurl your thing that gets your wheelchair out or whatever,
Speaker 1: you could take up two spots. People will complain about that,
Speaker 1: even if you're disabled. Then there's this part which a
Speaker 1: lot of you might find interesting. Provides more flexibility for
Speaker 1: local governments to set lower speed limits at any level
Speaker 1: below the legal maximum speed limit in a residential district.
Speaker 1: So you can have a speed limit that's say twenty
Speaker 1: miles an hour, fifteen miles an hour, whatever. Here's the
Speaker 1: thing that I think is interesting. This bill, if passed,
Speaker 1: will affect all of us in this very particular way.
Speaker 1: If this bill HB five four to three passes, it
Speaker 1: will extend the time for a yellow traffic light by
Speaker 1: half of a second, not even right now, it's three
Speaker 1: point four seconds, and they'll they're going to change to
Speaker 1: like three point eight seconds, So yellow lights would last
Speaker 1: about half a second longer in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1: And I asked to you, and I don't know who
Speaker 1: I'm asking here, is that a thing that they could
Speaker 1: just go and then they just unleash the code and
Speaker 1: every yellow light across the state of Florida now lasts
Speaker 1: a half second longer.
Speaker 4: If it were that quick, I would be worried about
Speaker 4: the state of our traffic control systems.
Speaker 2: A little vulnerable. But they have those boxes, right.
Speaker 1: And you think they got to do everyone annually?
Speaker 2: There might be some that are network in computers, but that.
Speaker 1: Would be crazy. I think Ceiling's saying if they could
Speaker 1: do that via the network, maybe people could hack it
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that you'd want people to know
Speaker 4: exactly how that happens.
Speaker 10: There.
Speaker 4: There is a guy that's got a decent amount of
Speaker 4: followers on YouTube that fixes traffic lights all the time,
Speaker 4: and he just like has his own YouTube channel about
Speaker 4: his life is a traffic light repair man, and he
Speaker 4: like opens up those boxes and shows you inside and
Speaker 4: stuff too.
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 4: But there, I think there's got to be some sort
Speaker 4: of in between where it's not log into the main
Speaker 4: server and change every yellow light at once, but definitely
Speaker 4: not going to every traffic control box of every intersection.
Speaker 1: Dowaving. I mean, that's a little it seems like a
Speaker 1: little much.
Speaker 4: I also wonder is that like a statewide standard, because
Speaker 4: I thought there were certain areas of the state, like
Speaker 4: certain neighborhoods. I thought maybe Disney, where they're like locally,
Speaker 4: just decided their traffic lights are longer like they're yellow lights, right.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're all on the same But
Speaker 1: now they're saying they're going to stretch this out a
Speaker 1: little bit, and then like, does that mean if I'm
Speaker 1: if this goes through, If this officially goes through and
Speaker 1: they change yellow lights to about a half second longer,
Speaker 1: do I When I go through the intersection and I
Speaker 1: see that it's yellow, I go, hey, I got a
Speaker 1: little bit more four seconds? Here goes nothing. I want
Speaker 1: to do this. So it's interesting, but that's something they're
Speaker 1: doing with this HB five four to three. It could
Speaker 1: make yellow lights a half second longer, as well as
Speaker 1: all the other random stuff that's attached to that.
Speaker 4: Actual police officer listening with the show says three point
Speaker 4: four seconds is the minimum required speed limit. Also plays
Speaker 4: a part on how they make those decisions. Oh that
Speaker 4: makes sense.
Speaker 1: So if your speed limit is faster, the yellow light
Speaker 1: will go longer, because I would assume, yeah, they want to.
Speaker 1: That adds up. Let us know if you know more
Speaker 1: about this, send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Right now, all right, let's see what else. We have
Speaker 1: lots of stuff going on out there, and a lot
Speaker 1: happening on the Iranian front. Are there are a couple
Speaker 1: of comments I wanted to get to. This was Trump
Speaker 1: talking about Iran's entire military command. He said, it's gone.
Speaker 1: It's gone. It is no more.
Speaker 10: Over the past thirty six hours, the United States and
Speaker 10: its partners have launched Operation Epic Fury, at one of
Speaker 10: the largest, most complex, most overwhelming military offensives the world
Speaker 10: has ever seen.
Speaker 1: Nobody's seen anything like it.
Speaker 10: We have hit hundreds of targets in Iran, including Revolutionary
Speaker 10: Guard facilities, Iranian air defenses, all of them. Just now
Speaker 10: was announced that we knocked out nine ships plus the
Speaker 10: naval building, all in a matter of literally minutes.
Speaker 1: All right, they said, we knocked out a bunch of ships.
Speaker 1: We knocked out a bunch of the leadership. We got
Speaker 1: the supreme leaders Zip zap, he's gone, he's out of there.
Speaker 1: They got the former president. I'm aDNA Jod. Have you
Speaker 1: ever heard about that guy in the newsmod I'm Adena Jod,
Speaker 1: gone done out, he's blasted. They have intelligence and from
Speaker 1: what I heard, here's what happened. I'll give you a
Speaker 1: little little insight on this that I heard that I
Speaker 1: thought was interesting. I guess the Israeli intelligence, which is
Speaker 1: next level double O seven style stuff. These are the
Speaker 1: guys who blew up all the was it Hamas or
Speaker 1: Hesbla guys with the pagers. They they they found out
Speaker 1: that it was they like they made a deal with
Speaker 1: the provider that was making these pagers for this terrorist outfit,
Speaker 1: and they put bombs in the pagers and then they
Speaker 1: just waited until they thought it was the best time,
Speaker 1: and they hit a button and simultaneously blew up all
Speaker 1: these pagers that these uh the leaders were using. That
Speaker 1: this is a group out of the Middle East that
Speaker 1: has long been against the Israeli military and people were
Speaker 1: for that matter, but they they blew them up with
Speaker 1: this intelligence that they had. They've done some crazy next
Speaker 1: level things. And in the case of this, they had
Speaker 1: attacked Iran. Israel had many times before and always every
Speaker 1: single time at night. They attacked Iran at night, every
Speaker 1: single time. And in this case they said, we're going
Speaker 1: to change it up and surprise them. And the Iranians
Speaker 1: purposely were meeting during the day because they thought, well,
Speaker 1: we're at risk at night, that's when Israel would Obama us,
Speaker 1: we might get bombs, so let's meet in the middle
Speaker 1: of the day. Israel here is there's going to be
Speaker 1: this huge meeting between the Supreme leader of Iran, this
Speaker 1: religious theocratic nutjob who's been leading the country, not very popular,
Speaker 1: and all the people below him that they were going
Speaker 1: to be meeting in the middle the day because they
Speaker 1: didn't want to get bombed to night. And Israeli in
Speaker 1: the United States said, here you go and unleash the
Speaker 1: fury and drop bombs galore on this place. That was
Speaker 1: one of the things that took out a lot of
Speaker 1: these people. It has been a pretty rough time for
Speaker 1: anybody in charge over there. There have been some American casualties.
Speaker 1: From what I can tell. There is an American military
Speaker 1: base that is in Kuwait, I think, and the Kuwait
Speaker 1: military base was bombed by the Iranian forces and that
Speaker 1: was what led to four, if not five American soldiers
Speaker 1: dying that America when we were when I was walking
Speaker 1: through the hall a second ago, okay, and maybe it's
Speaker 1: still at four. I thought it had gone to five
Speaker 1: because there was somebody else who was pretty gravely injured.
Speaker 1: But there were four or five Americans who had died.
Speaker 1: The ones who were in these fighter jets that were
Speaker 1: shot down in Kuwait, they didn't even die that these
Speaker 1: these American fighter pilots didn't even they just ejected, and
Speaker 1: I was sharing with you earlier. In fact, I'll play
Speaker 1: for those of you who missed this because it's so crazy.
Speaker 1: The guy in Kuwait is walking around and he sees
Speaker 1: the fighter jet get accidentally shot down, accidentally shot down
Speaker 1: by these Kuwaiti armed forces, and the American fighter pilot
Speaker 1: ejects out of the fighter jets, as did several others,
Speaker 1: and then the Kuwaiti person just stumbled upon them. You're fine, really, yes,
Speaker 1: she said, I'm okay, no problem. You want safe, you
Speaker 1: would safe, you gonna safe? Everything good? Such a thank
Speaker 1: you for ahead of us everything. This guy's so chill
Speaker 1: considering the circumstances. Yeah, they were the good. Uh you
Speaker 1: want some swama like the people are just chilling hanging
Speaker 1: out now after this ejection out of a fighter jet.
Speaker 1: Just absolutely crazy to see, very very interesting, and we'll
Speaker 1: keep an eye on all of this. But there's there's
Speaker 1: a lot of developments obviously coming out of this area.
Speaker 1: How long is this going to go on for? Trump
Speaker 1: said forty five weeks, but could be longer. What's your
Speaker 1: gas going to look like? Your gas is probably gonna
Speaker 1: get more expensive? And as I saw this morning, you're
Speaker 1: four oh one k. What happened to that? That whole
Speaker 1: the Dow is at fifty thousand? Thing? What happened that? Oh,
Speaker 1: let me see, let me bring up the Yahoo finance,
Speaker 1: because the Dow is not at fifty thousand any longer,
Speaker 1: as far as I could tell, forty eight to nine?
Speaker 1: What gives? What gives? I thought the Dow was at
Speaker 1: fifty forty eight nine. There's been a bit of a
Speaker 1: sell off that they've recovered from. Mostly it was down
Speaker 1: a couple hundred points I think at one point today,
Speaker 1: But now it's only down forty one the Dow Jones
Speaker 1: Industrial So the market's not reacting great to This could
Speaker 1: go on for three, four or five weeks, but maybe
Speaker 1: even a little bit longer. And then Trump also said
Speaker 1: he made some comment about him American casualties listen.
Speaker 10: Earlier today, Sentcam shared the news that three US military
Speaker 10: service members have been killed in action. As one nation,
Speaker 10: we agreeve for the true American patriots who have made
Speaker 10: the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue
Speaker 10: the righteous mission for which they gave their lives. We
Speaker 10: pray for the full recovery of the wounded, and send
Speaker 10: our immense love and eternal gratitude.
Speaker 1: To the families of the fallen. All right, so that's
Speaker 1: four people, maybe five people. And on the other side
Speaker 1: of this equation from what I just saw a moment ago.
Speaker 1: Hang on, let me bring this up. The estimate from
Speaker 1: Israel at least is that between one thousand and fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that's the
Speaker 1: Iranian security forces that are at the higher echelon of
Speaker 1: their military, about a thousand, fifteen hundred of them have
Speaker 1: been killed in the strike so far. Some estimates suggest
Speaker 1: much higher numbers, but the more conservative assessment speaks of
Speaker 1: over a thousand fatalities among the Iranian security forces since
Speaker 1: they start of Operation Roaring Lion that's the Israeli version
Speaker 1: and Epic Fury, the American campaign, there have been Yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks like over one thousand Iranian military forces maybe
Speaker 1: even more, maybe as much as fifteen hundred who have
Speaker 1: died as compared to four of the United States. But
Speaker 1: that number will obviously change over time, and we'll see
Speaker 1: what kind of an appetite people have for this. I
Speaker 1: think people have more of an appetite for like this
Speaker 1: flyover drone, you know, drop some munitions on the country,
Speaker 1: three or four weeks done, and then hopefully the Iranians
Speaker 1: can step up and find themselves a little slice of democracy.
Speaker 1: I think Americans have more of an appetite for that
Speaker 1: than they do. Hey, let's send one hundred thousand young
Speaker 1: men and women over to the desert again. I don't
Speaker 1: think I have no appetit for that none. Don't have
Speaker 1: any appetite for that at all. I don't want any
Speaker 1: Americans boots on the ground in the middle of the
Speaker 1: desert again. We've done it. I don't want it anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't ever want it again. If there could be
Speaker 1: a limited campaign and you can get rid of the
Speaker 1: worst of the worst in these places and maybe free
Speaker 1: it up for the Iranians have some control over their future.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think a lot of people, myself included,
Speaker 1: might be on board with that. But I have no
Speaker 1: idea what's going to happen, nor do the people pretending
Speaker 1: like they do. Just keep that in mind. Quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll hear from you. We'll get
Speaker 1: into those first dispatches, And I want to tell you,
Speaker 1: what are the most unbelievable stories that I've seen in
Speaker 1: a while. I feel this person was wronged. I'm being
Speaker 1: legitimate here. I feel this person deserves a major payout
Speaker 1: for what happened to them. And I think what happened
Speaker 1: here is the biggest travesty in sports history. Hey, wait
Speaker 1: until you hear what went down, and we'll see if
Speaker 1: you agree with me or not. That's coming up next
Speaker 1: in the news, Chunkie. I gotta tell you this story
Speaker 1: because it had me fired up this morning. The injustice
Speaker 1: that was on display here. This is unbelievable. And if
Speaker 1: we know anything around here, we know sports, baby, we
Speaker 1: know the sports inside outside around this on the field,
Speaker 1: all the good stuff, and this one, to me, was
Speaker 1: so unfair. This is just so unfair. I think they
Speaker 1: owe this person money. I think they owe this person
Speaker 1: a grand apology. And it happened at the US Half
Speaker 1: Marathon Championships. True story. I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 1: The US Half Marathon Championships ented in Controver this weekend.
Speaker 1: As the three leading female runners, right, So the women
Speaker 1: who are at the front of the pack, they're running
Speaker 1: the US half Marathon and they're like, we got this
Speaker 1: in the bag. There is less than two miles to
Speaker 1: go on the half marathon, they are firmly in the
Speaker 1: lead of this half marathon, and they are doing very well.
Speaker 1: They're probably planning on what they're gonna do with their
Speaker 1: wins and their ribbons, and there we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1: Jess McClain, who was at the front of the pack,
Speaker 1: was on the brink of her first national title at
Speaker 1: the event in Atlanta, Georgia. She along with contenders Emma
Speaker 1: Grace Hurley and Edna Kerget, had to double back after
Speaker 1: realizing there was a mistake. They were following around one
Speaker 1: of the vehicles, you know, like these track vehicles that
Speaker 1: kind of the Pace vehicle with cameras. Well, they were
Speaker 1: they follow them. The vehicles have cameras usually and other stuff,
Speaker 1: and they're, you know, they're following the runners, and the
Speaker 1: Pace vehicle made a wrong turn and they followed the
Speaker 1: Pace vehicle come on, and they thought like, well, I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously these people aren't going to screw up there the officials,
Speaker 1: this is their course exactly where they're gone.
Speaker 4: Well, I think this kind of depends on what did
Speaker 4: the Pace vehicle make a mistake or was the Pace
Speaker 4: vehicle leaving the course because they were getting to a
Speaker 4: section that they didn't need to be there for anymore well.
Speaker 1: McClain ultimately finished with a runtime of ninth place one hour,
Speaker 1: eleven minutes, twenty seven seconds. Hurley and the other women
Speaker 1: were seconds behind in twelfth and thirteenth place. They would
Speaker 1: have got first, second, and third. They got eleventh, twelfth
Speaker 1: and thirteenth. Oh, Molly Byrne was more than a minute
Speaker 1: behind all of them added ten to their their place number. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Molly Bourne, who was more than a minute behind them
Speaker 1: before this mistake, ended up winning. She won the entire thing.
Speaker 1: Now here's what happened. USA Track and Field acknowledges the
Speaker 1: course wasn't properly marked at the point where the top
Speaker 1: women were misdirected, but said its rules offered no way
Speaker 1: to change the order of the finish, so the results stand.
Speaker 1: Atlanta Track Club CEO and race director Richard Kannah accepted
Speaker 1: full responsibility. We're gonna need a sepaka from this guy, Sebaku,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. He promised a review of why the
Speaker 1: vehicle left the route. He said athletes should never have
Speaker 1: to make a split decision, split second decision between following
Speaker 1: a pace vehicle or trusting the official course. The leader
Speaker 1: not only lost the title, in twenty thousand dollars winner prize,
Speaker 1: but also an automatic berth to the twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen. So the car went
Speaker 1: off course. They trusted that the car was staying on
Speaker 1: the right course, and they followed it running along, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they realized, wait, this doesn't
Speaker 1: seem right.
Speaker 2: This is this the core purpose of the damn car.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they've doubled back, and by the time
Speaker 1: they double back, they got ten places lower than they
Speaker 1: would have.
Speaker 4: And I think they figured it out when the car
Speaker 4: pulled into a McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Said, let's go get one of those big arches, the
Speaker 1: big arches right now to make things a little bit
Speaker 1: better for us. Pretty crazy a disaster at the US
Speaker 1: Half Marathon Championships. As you can imagine, I was very
Speaker 1: tuned in, just focused on that. Had no idea.
Speaker 4: Is that why, like I didn't hear from you for
Speaker 4: a handful of hours over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Well, one reason was that. The other reason was I
Speaker 1: decided to sans Austin without without Austin in the studio, which,
Speaker 1: just so you guys know, studio complete disaster collapse over
Speaker 1: the weekend, Austin comes in to put this simple new
Speaker 1: LED light in the control tower in my studio and
Speaker 1: he's like, the other one burned out. This one's like
Speaker 1: more sophisticated. It's got that ceiling we'll know, like the
Speaker 1: w LED technology, and and he goes, I'll put that
Speaker 1: in for you, and he puts it and it looks
Speaker 1: so cool, and it's like, here's all the things you
Speaker 1: can do with you're showing me. And all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I go, what what are those noises on the speakers
Speaker 1: in my studio. It's like, like, what the hell is that? Austin,
Speaker 1: I don't know looking around, and I look and one
Speaker 1: of the main digital mixers in the studio is rebooting
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again. And I
Speaker 1: was like, is this related to the LED lights? And
Speaker 1: he's like, no, I swear to god, I swear to god,
Speaker 1: it's not related. I said, what's going on here? And
Speaker 1: this piece of equipment that is at the core of
Speaker 1: my studio, the power supply, completely died. Nothing worked in
Speaker 1: the studio, not a single microphone, nothing worked. I couldn't
Speaker 1: do a video, I couldn't do a stream, I couldn't
Speaker 1: do anything. The whole studio was ground to a whole.
Speaker 1: Austin saving me from probably not being able to do
Speaker 1: the show today tomorrow or maybe the next day, and
Speaker 1: being out one thousand dollars for the one part art
Speaker 1: that was broken, came over and swapped out some powerboards
Speaker 1: and like you know, put it all together like like
Speaker 1: an electrician and fixed it. So everything's back up and running.
Speaker 1: I decided to stay on this momentum. I thought the
Speaker 1: studio was screwed and I was in big trouble, and
Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna continue. I would have been in
Speaker 1: here today. I would have been yeah, but I just
Speaker 1: took the day off. I've been like, I'm not coming
Speaker 1: in there. I'm not doing it. I got an equipment
Speaker 1: problem I'll see in three days. But he fixed it.
Speaker 1: And then I pushed my luck by installing a new
Speaker 1: studio screen with some custom software that I built. So
Speaker 1: I've got chat and like teleprompters, all sorts of stuff
Speaker 1: up on this new big screen in the studio. And
Speaker 1: I hung at myself. And I've never hung a television before.
Speaker 1: Wait what, I never hung one before. No, I've paid
Speaker 1: somebody to do No, I've paid somebody to do every
Speaker 1: single one that I have. I don't know how to
Speaker 1: do it. I thought I screwed everything up. Find duds.
Speaker 1: I don't think so hard, buddy. No, it looks right.
Speaker 1: It looks it's installed the beautiful way. I can pull
Speaker 1: on it and it doesn't fall down or anything. It's
Speaker 1: solidly up there. See you see chat going on it
Speaker 1: right now. You know, it's like it's it's a great feature.
Speaker 1: I like to be able to see everybody saying like, hello,
Speaker 1: crazy drunk cat lady, Mick, Tanya, Hi, guys, you're on
Speaker 1: the stream right now because I could see your your
Speaker 1: chat messages coming in real time. But if Josh is
Speaker 1: underneath it, or Sea lends underneath it, or somebody's over
Speaker 1: on the couch, yeah, I don't know if it's up
Speaker 1: there good enough. I don't know. I did the best
Speaker 1: that I could with the abilities that I have, which
Speaker 1: in this world is not good. I have not a
Speaker 1: not a lot of skills. I'm not the mister fix it.
Speaker 1: I would like to be tell us what you think,
Speaker 1: says a dispatch over in the news Junking dot Com.
Speaker 1: I need help next time. I shouldn't do this myself.
Speaker 1: We were watching the Apple thing. The Apple announcement is
Speaker 1: kind of just there's cheap versions of everything coming out
Speaker 1: from Apple. That's what they're doing.
Speaker 4: I think they're doing it over a couple of days.
Speaker 4: So I think we've gotten today's announcements as far as
Speaker 4: the seventeen E, which is the next next level of
Speaker 4: but actually a decent upgrade from sixteen E.
Speaker 1: It's the same price as the sixteen E, but it's
Speaker 1: much as that the six hundred dollars, so the cheapest
Speaker 1: one is still six hundred dollars. That's crazy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the six seventeen E is the same price,
Speaker 4: but it has an upgraded processor, double the storage, and
Speaker 4: and it has MagSafe now which in a more durable display.
Speaker 1: So it's like a cheaper option for people, which they
Speaker 1: expect to sell very very well. Like I said, they
Speaker 1: even sent out an apology to all the Apple workers
Speaker 1: because they think they're going to get flooded with people
Speaker 1: who are trying to get these cheaper versions.
Speaker 4: I wonder if they're doing the same for this cheap
Speaker 4: Mac that hasn't been announced. They're just expecting the cheap
Speaker 4: MacBook and the cheap MacBook. I think they're doing because
Speaker 4: they want to get more like they're the speculation is
Speaker 4: they want to get more penetration into like education systems
Speaker 4: that are using like a s ton of chromebooks, right
Speaker 4: because chromebooks are cheap, so they're they're looking after that also,
Speaker 4: you know, because they have so many laptops and so
Speaker 4: many other laptops are expensive. Uh, they've seen that a
Speaker 4: lot of people just buy the old ones refurbished or
Speaker 4: just new but old. So like a lot of people
Speaker 4: are buying the MacBook air m one, and they're like,
Speaker 4: we want to get more people buying new stuff from
Speaker 4: the store.
Speaker 1: Tech Tech is crazy cheap, man, It's so except for
Speaker 1: a ram right now for other stuff. I got that
Speaker 1: television because I went to the store because I bought
Speaker 1: the wrong one. Like everything else, I failed and failed
Speaker 1: and failed. I bought them on for the studio and
Speaker 1: I put it in here, and Courtney's line changed the
Speaker 1: course of the history of this studio. I bought it
Speaker 1: and I said, I'm going to put it right here,
Speaker 1: and Courtney goes, that looks like Michael Scott's little flat
Speaker 1: screen TV. She said, I think it's too small. It
Speaker 1: looks like it looks like when Michael Scott pulls this
Speaker 1: flat screen TV off the wall and he's like, I
Speaker 1: love this thing. I love it. Finally splurged. I finally splurged.
Speaker 1: I got the flat screen TV. She said that my
Speaker 1: screen looked like that, and I go, oh, great, I
Speaker 1: can't have that. And so I went over to Target.
Speaker 1: I almost never go over there. Whatever. Target TV forty
Speaker 1: inch TV one hundred and twenty dollars. What a time
Speaker 1: to be alive. It's so crazy. I wanted to mention
Speaker 1: this TV thing earlier. I said there's a huge change
Speaker 1: coming to TV. I know that. I tease that, and
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten to it. I've got that next. I
Speaker 1: got Jury Duty. Next, I got what's happening in the
Speaker 1: prediction markets. That's wild related to the Iranian situation, the
Speaker 1: attacks there and all of that. We got a lot
Speaker 1: to get to in the final hour of the show,
Speaker 1: and that's coming up next on the news chunk Key
Speaker 1: in Jury Duty. In a moment, I did not think
Speaker 1: we'd have an update on this. You know how, sometimes
Speaker 1: we have stories on this show and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that was a fun story. I think, well, we'll probably
Speaker 1: never hear more about that. Remember the protester lady in
Speaker 1: the penis costume.
Speaker 2: I will never forget her who.
Speaker 1: Was fighting with the police officer. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you were here for that, Celan, I thought that was
Speaker 1: were you the protester lady in the penis costume? It
Speaker 1: was fighting with the cop. She's back in the news.
Speaker 1: There's an update on that story, so we'll get to
Speaker 1: that here in just a moment before that, a big
Speaker 1: change in the TV world. It was kind of a
Speaker 1: whiplash moment. But Paramount is going to be merging with
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers. After it looked like Netflix was going to
Speaker 1: be doing this, but no. Paramount was like the sneak
Speaker 1: attack and they're going to be merging with Warner Brothers.
Speaker 1: Here's what's going to happen as a result of that,
Speaker 1: HBO Max and Paramount Plus will be confined into one service. Now,
Speaker 1: HBO Max is the most snip snap, snip snap story
Speaker 1: of streaming I have ever heard my life. It was
Speaker 1: HBO Max, HBO Go, Hbo Now, then they changed to
Speaker 1: Max and then they I think I might be getting
Speaker 1: this right, they changed back to HBO Max.
Speaker 4: Because they're back to HBO Max now from the Max change,
Speaker 4: the initial confusion was that they had different names of
Speaker 4: the app for different situations you were in. So there
Speaker 4: was there was HBO Go, which you could just sign
Speaker 4: up for it no matter what you had, and then
Speaker 4: there was HBO Now and I might be criss crossing
Speaker 4: the two names if you're now where you could get
Speaker 4: it if you already subscribed to HBO as part of
Speaker 4: I don't know why there's balloons as part of your
Speaker 4: cable subscription. You know how you have certain on demand
Speaker 4: stuff that when you subscribe to this the things you
Speaker 4: get them.
Speaker 1: Streaming as an add on.
Speaker 4: And they had all these different names that they had
Speaker 4: kind of let go wild, and nobody knew which one
Speaker 4: was which. And then they consolidated it into HBO Max,
Speaker 4: which people thought was another new name, but it was
Speaker 4: really just a combination of HBO and Cinemax, and.
Speaker 1: They got rid of all the branding that HBO had
Speaker 1: inherently in it. Then they dropped the HBO and just
Speaker 1: stuck with Max. That was the stupidest thing they did.
Speaker 4: And then they realized that, and then they changed it
Speaker 4: back and they got really close to the number of
Speaker 4: name changes for kral sky Amphitheater.
Speaker 1: Fucky, good job, everybody, well done. Dan on YouTube says
Speaker 1: this is crap. These companies are getting way too big. True,
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 5: True, what point are we going to not have any
Speaker 5: other choice if we don't sign up for the Disney,
Speaker 5: Hulu Paramount Warner Brothers Max Bundle versus having all these separate.
Speaker 2: You know that they're going to charge so much more.
Speaker 1: Now, who does this make things better for? I don't know.
Speaker 12: I have both subscriptions, whoever's in the c suite atamount
Speaker 12: to whatever whatever we're I don't think we benefit from
Speaker 12: this really in any way.
Speaker 1: I don't unless Sabrina can consolidate the two subscriptions, because
Speaker 1: it's going to be one company now or something. We're not.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not going to get any good out
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 5: But watch then they're going to take away your ad
Speaker 5: free you know, subscription. But we're trying to do that
Speaker 5: with the Disney Bundle. I got grandfather into the price
Speaker 5: I'm at with no ads, and they're like, no, do
Speaker 5: the Disney Bundle.
Speaker 2: We'll put a bunch of ads for everything. No more money.
Speaker 1: Well, they said, HBO Max In Paramount Plus will be
Speaker 1: combined into one service. What's the name going to be?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Hold on to your rex. We'll see,
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. They're gonna do fifteen films per studio,
Speaker 1: with forty five day theatrical windows for each film. The
Speaker 1: merged company will have approximately seventy nine billion dollars in debt.
Speaker 1: Congratulations billion. It's it's like a it's like a broke vultron.
Speaker 1: All our power is combined. We're going to merge and
Speaker 1: have seventy nine billion dollars in debt.
Speaker 4: They're like, now that we have combined, now we have
Speaker 4: some bills to pay.
Speaker 1: It's like the poorest vultron ever like combining and there's
Speaker 1: old parts like a dots and the merge company will
Speaker 1: have seventy nine billion in debt. They'll do six billion
Speaker 1: in cost cutting, including consolidating on tech, infrastructure, real estate,
Speaker 1: corporate overheads, and more. That means they're going to fire
Speaker 1: a lot of people. That means there's going to be
Speaker 1: more firings. That's what that means. No plans to sell
Speaker 1: off or spin off in either cable assets. They have
Speaker 1: flexibility to put sports like UFC on any cable network.
Speaker 1: They'll continue to license movies and TV shows to other
Speaker 1: studios and platforms and AI will be a tool for artists,
Speaker 1: but never a replacement for storytellers. That's what they said. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe it. I believe it.
Speaker 4: I think that's hilarious that they're like, listen, there's a
Speaker 4: there's a silver lining here. You know, we're not gonna
Speaker 4: replace storytellers. So we are, we are edging towards monopoly.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but it's a tool, is what it is.
Speaker 1: I look at all of this and go, this is
Speaker 1: not going to make anything better. It's not gonna it's
Speaker 1: it's a mess. Whenever they do this. I hate that
Speaker 1: they do this stuff, and the AI think feels so inevitable,
Speaker 1: as much as Hollywood wants to avoid it. We watched
Speaker 1: the movie last night. Let me see, I'll bring this
Speaker 1: up so I remember what was Courtney who by the way,
Speaker 1: she she got heated because she was the one who
Speaker 1: helped me install this TV in the studio. She did
Speaker 1: most of the work. I've had no idea what the
Speaker 1: hell was doing.
Speaker 2: I was with job. Courtney.
Speaker 1: She goes, I have a couple of movie options for tonight,
Speaker 1: and she said one of them was this movie that
Speaker 1: I hadn't really heard much about. But it's called Mercy.
Speaker 1: And uh, oh, Mercy watched it or did you put
Speaker 1: it on the list that that was the one with
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt. Chris Pratt is the lead in this merger,
Speaker 1: so we watched it. Yes, Courney and I were talking.
Speaker 1: First of all, how hilarious is it that John Krasinsky
Speaker 1: and Chris Pratt turned into like the two big movie
Speaker 1: stars in the action world in twenty twenty six? How
Speaker 1: how funny is that Jim from the Office and Andy's
Speaker 1: Wire from Parkson rec turned into like the ripped action
Speaker 1: star guys.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'd say Chris Pratt much more so than
Speaker 4: John Krasinsky. John Krasinsky was doing the the.
Speaker 1: One, but he.
Speaker 5: Always played like the goofy Hull until that Amazon Prime show.
Speaker 1: I've never watched an episode of but I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys have.
Speaker 2: I just remember it being on the boxes of stuff
Speaker 2: I ordered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's it? What's it even called?
Speaker 2: The It's born? Isn't it a born thing?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Sorry, uh, John Krasinski, I'll look it up here. Jack Ryan,
Speaker 1: you played Jack Ryan Ryan. Yeah, I haven't seen a
Speaker 1: single episode of it. I was right on Tom Clans
Speaker 1: with those points. All right, I'll keep them in the
Speaker 1: the fake point scoring world that we have over here.
Speaker 1: But we're watching this and it was interesting because in
Speaker 1: a way, the movie Mercy with Chris Pratt in it
Speaker 1: that we watched last night was very similar to one
Speaker 1: of the most hated movies of my lifetime, which is
Speaker 1: that War of the Worlds they just released with Yes,
Speaker 1: Okay Yes, and in it, ice Cube is just in
Speaker 1: one room for almost the whole movie, and all these
Speaker 1: things are happening around ice Cube and it's a big
Speaker 1: Amazon commercial and it was pretty it was so bad.
Speaker 1: It was good in a way. The War of the
Speaker 1: World it's.
Speaker 4: Really hard to do a movie where it's just feels
Speaker 4: like one big, long scene and you're just in one place,
Speaker 4: like I'm trying to figure out what I have to
Speaker 4: compare it to. Obviously, The World of the World's thing
Speaker 4: was not done well enough that people liked it, and
Speaker 4: it was but this one I thought was done a
Speaker 4: lot better. There's another movie where I think Rachel McAdams
Speaker 4: is there's Somebody on a payphone. I think it's called Payphone,
Speaker 4: where somebody picks up a payphone randomly. I don't think
Speaker 4: it's Rachel McAdams picks up a payphone randomly and is like,
Speaker 4: you have to stay on the line or else I'm
Speaker 4: going to shoot people. And then they shoot somebody right
Speaker 4: next But the whole thing happens at this phone booth
Speaker 4: and and I'm like, you had run the risk of
Speaker 4: this going so terribly, of people getting bored of being
Speaker 4: in the same place.
Speaker 1: For an hour and a half. Yeah, and this was
Speaker 1: It's kind of the same but much better. But I
Speaker 1: thought it was much more entertaining mercy with Chris Pratt. However,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could figure this out because
Speaker 1: it would be so hard to search for for reasons
Speaker 1: that will become obvious in twenty seconds. The movie is
Speaker 1: about like an AI takes over the justice system, and
Speaker 1: the AI and the AI judge are the ultimate level
Speaker 1: in fairness, and Chris Pratt is the top cop that's
Speaker 1: pushing for this AI judge that will determine guilt and innocence.
Speaker 1: And then the AI judge says, we have a murder
Speaker 1: and the person who is guilty of murder is Chris Pratt,
Speaker 1: and now he has to try to defend himself to
Speaker 1: this AI judge. And watching this movie, there was so
Speaker 1: many scenes where I was sure it was AI. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the car crashes and some of the
Speaker 1: chases that they were showing were done by actual artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1: But if I try to search Mercy movie AI, well,
Speaker 1: the plot of the movie, yeah, is about AI, so
Speaker 1: I can't really cut through it.
Speaker 5: And when they use AI and movies, now are they
Speaker 5: are they revealing that information? Is there a way to
Speaker 5: see it in the credits? For example, because c G
Speaker 5: I have certainly still used. But where does AI come
Speaker 5: into this?
Speaker 1: Do you think they should put it in the credits?
Speaker 1: I would be I think there's people in the industry
Speaker 1: that would that would demand that. I think they should.
Speaker 1: I think they should. I think they should have to
Speaker 1: reveal just like where animals harmed in this production, they
Speaker 1: should have to reveal that there was AI used in
Speaker 1: the creation of the product. I think they should. I
Speaker 1: don't even know they have to reveal that animals were harmed.
Speaker 4: I just think that the ASPCA won't add their seal
Speaker 4: of approval.
Speaker 1: Because there there have been movies where.
Speaker 4: Like, uh, like a goldfish died and they're like, well,
Speaker 4: we won't put the sealing.
Speaker 1: Ilsnot think you could pay them off. I'm not totally
Speaker 1: sure about that.
Speaker 4: They're The movie I was thinking about is called Phone
Speaker 4: Booth with Ferreal, but I was also kind of confusing
Speaker 4: it with Red Eye with Rachel McAdams. Redeye obviously takes
Speaker 4: place on a plane, so a lot of that is
Speaker 4: all in the same place for most of that movie
Speaker 4: until the end, which is kind of the same for
Speaker 4: this mercy thing.
Speaker 1: Some of them have done better than others, or the
Speaker 1: Worlds was not one of those. I think movies should
Speaker 1: have to put clearly if there was AI used on
Speaker 1: these scenes. Here are the scenes that AI was used on,
Speaker 1: and that that AI was used, because I think there
Speaker 1: was a decent portion of this that was software creating
Speaker 1: the scenes. I might be wrong. Somebody who knows more
Speaker 1: about it let me know, but there was a lot
Speaker 1: of the scenes where I saw a movement that looked
Speaker 1: a little funky, and I saw some of the car
Speaker 1: chases and stuff possibly were AI. If you saw that,
Speaker 1: let me know. If you picked up on the same thing,
Speaker 1: send us a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. All right,

Speaker 1: Sorry for the folks who were trying to go to
Speaker 1: the MOMENTI Masters this weekend rained out. Yeah, the weather
Speaker 1: it I think the brutal thing is it didn't even
Speaker 1: end up raining. I think it like it looked really
Speaker 1: bad and they had to cancel it. They rescheduled it
Speaker 1: all right, So if you were gonna go, the MOMENTI
Speaker 1: Masters has been rescheduled. But I don't even know if
Speaker 1: it actually ended up braining. It was it looked like
Speaker 1: it was gonna be really the most annoying. It sucks. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a quick break here because we're
Speaker 1: up against it. I apologize. I have so many things
Speaker 1: to get into before the end of the show. I
Speaker 1: will get into the lady and the protest penis costume.
Speaker 1: I'll explain it to you if you guys don't know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, but there's a new twist in
Speaker 1: that story. I also want to talk about people betting
Speaker 1: on the Iranian war and people dying and what is
Speaker 1: supposed to happen with that, and insider trading when when
Speaker 1: bets spark up right before bombs drop by the US
Speaker 1: military and the Israeli military, Like there's I think there's
Speaker 1: so much insider trading going on in these prediction markets.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that too. There's a lot on the
Speaker 1: way and it's coming up next. I'm the new US junkie. Okay,
Speaker 1: A lot of things to get into here on the show.
Speaker 1: As we roll on. It is the Power Hour, the
Speaker 1: final hour of the show, and some people were pointing
Speaker 1: out that I haven't done rate my blank Oh but uh,
Speaker 1: we probably could still work that in. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I make kick it the next week. I had a
Speaker 1: couple of ideas and nothing really landed perfectly this week.
Speaker 1: But don't you gonna show us how you hung on tv? Uh?

Speaker 1: let's see your toes. Let's okay, let's we'll go full
Speaker 1: full feet over on the dispatches side of things. Rate
Speaker 1: my feet be rich on the site. This is a
Speaker 1: really bad idea, probably, but let's see what you got
Speaker 1: for us. Rate my feet over on the news junkie
Speaker 1: dot com. Send it a dispatch. We'll pick somebody. This
Speaker 1: is what happens when and.
Speaker 2: What's gonna happened?
Speaker 5: Was me having to explain to her wonderful engineer, Frank,
Speaker 5: what the hell we're talking about?
Speaker 1: What's going on over there?
Speaker 4: All?
Speaker 1: Right, here we go. I talked to you about this,
Speaker 1: so let me bring a full circle. There was this
Speaker 1: woman who was at a protest and the police were
Speaker 1: there as well, and it was at one of those
Speaker 1: No King's protests, and the woman was dressed up in
Speaker 1: a giant inflatable penis costume, and it was kind of funny.
Speaker 1: Her interacting with the police officer was great. She had
Speaker 1: great lines and she was right about a lot of things.
Speaker 1: You know, agree with her or disagree with her on
Speaker 1: the protest front, she was right about a lot of
Speaker 1: things of sense. Well, because she said, am I being detained?
Speaker 1: And the officer said no, not right now, and then
Speaker 1: so she went to walk away. She physically walked away,
Speaker 1: and then he chased her down and said, why are
Speaker 1: you running away from me? She said, you told me
Speaker 1: I wasn't being detained. She's exactly right. That's how speech works.
Speaker 1: That's that she's exactly exactly how not being detained works. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but now she's got new charges. And I've got some
Speaker 1: details here from Channel five, the local news outlet there
Speaker 1: that's been covering this lady in Alabama, Fairhope, Alabama. Let's
Speaker 1: see here, let's get this up. Hang on a she
Speaker 1: was there.
Speaker 6: It is a phallic costume on holding an American flag.
Speaker 1: And a sign that said no dictator.
Speaker 13: It quickly became a legal matter for Renee Gamble.
Speaker 1: It's her Renee Gamble costume. She says, am I being detained?
Speaker 1: And he doesn't.
Speaker 6: Respond, so she turns to walk away, and he grabs
Speaker 6: her from behind, pulls your down on the onto the ground.
Speaker 13: Gamble was arrested in charge, but disorderly conduct and resisting
Speaker 13: in arrest.
Speaker 1: All right, So what the cops should have done? This
Speaker 1: A hilarious freeze frame. Hilarious freeze frame of her costume
Speaker 1: with the twigg and berries she a lot more berries.
Speaker 1: She was again. Agree with her or disagree with her politically,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. She was right. The cop was absolutely
Speaker 1: wrong in terms of their fundamental rights in this moment.
Speaker 1: The cop still arrested her. He arrested her for like
Speaker 1: a couple of different charges. And then they should have
Speaker 1: made the smart move by saying, we made a mistake.
Speaker 1: This was an overstep of our power. This woman wasn't
Speaker 1: being detained, and she walked away from the police officer,
Speaker 1: was absolutely her right to do so. And then the
Speaker 1: cop grabbed her by her costume and threw her down
Speaker 1: on the ground. So I think the cop was just
Speaker 1: fully in the wrong here, full in the whole interaction,
Speaker 1: and they should have said, we made a mistake, let's
Speaker 1: let it go. Not only that, they have new charges,
Speaker 1: new charges for this woman, and I was like, what
Speaker 1: could the new charges be? Here we go now?
Speaker 13: Months later, two additional charges filed giving officers a false name,
Speaker 13: and breaking a city ordinance related to disturbing the peace.
Speaker 1: So not only did they not back off of the
Speaker 1: previous charges, they added on two new charges, including giving
Speaker 1: a false name because I forgot what she said, but
Speaker 1: she gave a fake name. She said her name was Antifa.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: And she's like, I got to tie my Patriot shoes
Speaker 2: at a barn America.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And then so they charge her for another
Speaker 1: crime for that. To aunt Tifa is what she says.
Speaker 1: Can you tell me where this is?
Speaker 13: We spoke with Gamble's attorney, who says he's prepared to
Speaker 13: defend his client in court.
Speaker 6: The whole point of the costume and the sign was,
Speaker 6: you know, making the political poo? Is this attorney the
Speaker 6: threat of a dictator? Even people that disagree with her
Speaker 6: politics say that she had a right to do what
Speaker 6: she did. She did.
Speaker 1: He's just right, He's just absolutely positively right. You don't
Speaker 1: have to if a cop tells you they're not detaining,
Speaker 1: you sit there and entertain them. You do not have
Speaker 1: to talk to them.
Speaker 5: You do not person too, was like, what am I
Speaker 5: supposed to explain to my child if they saw that?
Speaker 2: What does that have to do? That's the law that
Speaker 2: you're supposed to be enforcing.
Speaker 1: Nothing. Yeah, she said, so you don't like the costume
Speaker 1: I'm in I'm paraphrasing here, and then Sabrina's right. The
Speaker 1: officer said, what is explained to me what we would
Speaker 1: tell to a little kid if they drove by here,
Speaker 1: and it was like, your more morality police stuff has
Speaker 1: no bearing on the law. It doesn't matter, it doesn't
Speaker 1: have any bearing on anything. You can't say, well, I
Speaker 1: find this offensive. How am I supposed to explain this
Speaker 1: to my family? The question only is is it legal
Speaker 1: or not legal? That's it. And it's not legal to
Speaker 1: wear an offensive costume to some people in public or
Speaker 1: at a protest like this.
Speaker 4: It's not a thing that you're not allowed to do.
Speaker 4: It's weird because they charged her with disturbing the peace.
Speaker 4: But it's like there were tons of people protesting there.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't they all have been disturbing the peace if one
Speaker 4: of them was guilty of disturbing the peace?
Speaker 1: Like, weren't they all?
Speaker 4: Now you can only say that she was because there
Speaker 4: was a penis costume, And now you're dipping into First
Speaker 4: Amendment territory here. But the hilarious paragraph in this story
Speaker 4: from WKRG over there says another document explained that Gamble
Speaker 4: violated the municipal Ordinance unlawfully disturbing the peace of others
Speaker 4: quote by dressing as a giant erect penis at or
Speaker 4: about a major traffic intersection where the safety of pedestrians
Speaker 4: and or traffic was at substantial risk unquote.
Speaker 2: It's only a wreck because she was standing up and walking.
Speaker 1: It's so dumb, it's so obvious to anybody knows anything
Speaker 1: about the law that this woman didn't do anything illegal,
Speaker 1: and that they're absolutely harassing him because they disagree with her.
Speaker 1: You should be strong enough, just like a lot of
Speaker 1: people accurately, very accurately go after these far left wing people,
Speaker 1: the nut jobs on the far left, and say they
Speaker 1: cannot deal with anybody who disagrees with them. They have
Speaker 1: no interest in ideological diversity at all, and where they'd
Speaker 1: have their way, they'd probably everybody in camps that they
Speaker 1: disagreed with. Some of these far far left extremists absolutely
Speaker 1: believe that they believe that their radical view is the
Speaker 1: only one and everybody else should basically be locked up.
Speaker 1: They're crazy, right, But how is this not the opposite
Speaker 1: of that. How is this not You're you're doing the
Speaker 1: exact same thing, Like you're just saying, Hey, I don't
Speaker 1: want this lady out here in this costume. Hey I
Speaker 1: don't want these people out here protesting this. You have
Speaker 1: to be strong enough to let people disagree with you,
Speaker 1: otherwise your points are garbage. Otherwise your fundamental flaw is
Speaker 1: that your worldview can't even hold up to discussion, and
Speaker 1: you have to enforce it this way. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the that's the real thing here.
Speaker 4: I don't even find the costume to be that, I mean,
Speaker 4: not even close to obscene. It's just like a blow
Speaker 4: up costume.
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 4: It's good quality. I mean it was before she was
Speaker 4: knocked on the ground. I don't know that i'd call
Speaker 4: it like super accurate.
Speaker 1: Right, let's pull it out, let's see.
Speaker 2: Now, please.
Speaker 1: But it can't.
Speaker 4: Also, the sign should have nothing to do with it,
Speaker 4: because I'm sure that what could not have been the
Speaker 4: worst sign at the protest? Yeah, you know, some of
Speaker 4: the signs of these protests are pretty profane. Yeah, of course,
Speaker 4: and that's how it should be.
Speaker 1: Are not says? Do people really want to costume like
Speaker 1: this to be worn in public? Yes? I do. I
Speaker 1: want people to be able to do and wear things
Speaker 1: that may offend you and your morals. I want people
Speaker 1: to be able to say things that offend you. I
Speaker 1: want people to be able to hurt your feelings with
Speaker 1: the things that they want to say, because that is
Speaker 1: what freedom of speech is about. Freedom of speech is
Speaker 1: not about only just the things that you agree with.
Speaker 1: America has lost sight of that. Our political parties have
Speaker 1: lost sight of that. It is a true major issue
Speaker 1: that we're facing as a country. But yes, I absolutely
Speaker 1: want things like this to make people feel uncomfortable sometimes. Ever,
Speaker 1: the never ending quest to make everybody comfortable is what
Speaker 1: led us to this area, right, the never any question
Speaker 1: to be like, never face an opinion different than yours,
Speaker 1: Never face anything that like that bothers you Like this,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's a cause a sexualize Who cares?
Speaker 1: Who cares? It's really not. It's not nearly as big
Speaker 1: of a deal as it should be. I wouldn't even
Speaker 1: call it sexualized. It doesn't have to be. But it's genitalia.
Speaker 1: But it's not. It's not sexual but a but a
Speaker 1: genitalia costume in publicator protests is of so little consequence
Speaker 1: when compared to the massive consequence of losing any of
Speaker 1: our rights, of having an inability to speak with one another,
Speaker 1: having an allergy to opinions that differ from yours. Those
Speaker 1: are so much bigger problems than Oh my god, it's
Speaker 1: a you know, the phallic costume, like that's It's just
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous, and I think most people know it. I
Speaker 1: think most people who see this and normal people go, oh,
Speaker 1: do I want that around my kids?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 1: But who cares. It's a protest. Let them do what
Speaker 1: they're doing. The cops abusing the law is far worse.
Speaker 1: That's me. Let me know what you think. Send a
Speaker 1: dispatch over at the news junkie dot com. But new
Speaker 1: charges for her, new charges for giving a false a
Speaker 1: fake name, a false name, and she obviously gave the
Speaker 1: name as a joke, but giving a false name, and
Speaker 1: what was the other thing like disturbing the piece? Disturbing
Speaker 1: the piece was the second one that they did.
Speaker 4: Disturbing the peace of others by violent, offensive, or boisterous
Speaker 4: conduct or language, or by conduct or language calculated.
Speaker 1: To provoke a breach of peace. She should win one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. If she doesn't win, it's a miscarriage of justice,
Speaker 1: and I hope another group gets involved and she probably
Speaker 1: has grounds to sue. Certainly at this point in time,
Speaker 1: this is the kind of stuff that most people just
Speaker 1: think of stupid, And you're right, most people are right
Speaker 1: about it. Quick break, when we come back, we'll get
Speaker 1: into the prediction market. Chaos are people cheating and betting
Speaker 1: fortunes and winning fortunes on war and on people dying. Also,
Speaker 1: a woman caught by her son with his sixteen year old.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's the mayor. Just to toss that in there.
Speaker 1: What went down? Wait till you hear the details on
Speaker 1: this story. It's coming up next on the news junk Key.
Speaker 1: I am sending out the rest of those. I had
Speaker 1: to catch up with a lot of them this weekend.
Speaker 1: There was a lot to catch up on them. But
Speaker 1: the rest of those are going out today and tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So if you're wrote anything for those gifted subs or subscribing,
Speaker 1: because when you subscribe as secret shows, you get to
Speaker 1: claim a gift there at the end yours will be
Speaker 1: on the way very very soon, So go check that
Speaker 1: out at thenewschunkie dot com. I saw this going mega
Speaker 1: viral over the weekend. I'm worried that this is going
Speaker 1: to sound like garbage, because this is like somebody filming
Speaker 1: their television and it's a fight between these two reporters
Speaker 1: in kaid F d X and tech Soma. That's gone
Speaker 1: pretty viral. Let's see, I'm risking a hitting play here.
Speaker 1: I don't know how bad this audio is. I can
Speaker 1: pump it up to a certain extent, but I guess
Speaker 1: there was like a passive aggressive back and forth between
Speaker 1: some of the hosts on this show, and I think
Speaker 1: people thought they were serious, but I think they just
Speaker 1: they messed with each other like this. Let's see if
Speaker 1: we can hear it here. You don't have any rain
Speaker 1: in our forecast, but something.
Speaker 13: That is in the not so distant future that we
Speaker 13: can forecast is midland.
Speaker 8: Whether you don't have any rain in the forecast in
Speaker 8: the next few days, but in the next two days
Speaker 8: we have Midland.
Speaker 1: When a radio I just said a second ago, we
Speaker 1: have rain the foreta, he said, I just set a
Speaker 1: second ago we have rain in the forecast. So they're
Speaker 1: ribbing each other, giving each other a bunch of crab.
Speaker 8: Here, Well, I have the day of the the event,
Speaker 8: I have rain I'm not talking. I'm telling actually the rain.
Speaker 1: Chas is coming before you correct people, and just your job.
Speaker 2: I just don't know why you don't listen to me anyways.
Speaker 1: Take is your greatest salvoever? He goes, He goes, I
Speaker 1: don't know why you don't just listen to me, and
Speaker 1: she goes cause you're baring. I'll bring it back just
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then I'll tell you what's going
Speaker 1: on until this weekend.
Speaker 2: Right, well, I have the day of the the event
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 8: I'm not talking, I'm talking.
Speaker 13: Tell me, actually the rain chance is coming before you
Speaker 13: kind of correct people, and just your job.
Speaker 2: I just don't know why you don't listen to me anyways.
Speaker 1: Take your close action, isn't isn't typing out the fight.
Speaker 1: I like how she dragged that out because you're.
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're poking fun or even having
Speaker 5: fun anymore after that, So.
Speaker 1: I guess they've talked about this. Uh, the the two
Speaker 1: anchors that were involved in this story, which is pretty
Speaker 1: funny actually to listen to everybody takes this stuff really
Speaker 1: seriously and they were just having fun with this. So
Speaker 1: Texas anchors speak out after on air exchange goes viral
Speaker 1: and they took a picture with each other. It's Michael
Speaker 1: Bowling and Carney Parter is the porter. Carney Porter is
Speaker 1: the woman who was talking with him on KFDX. Carney
Speaker 1: is quite the name. I haven't heard that before, isn't
Speaker 1: there Carnee and Wilson Phillips, Oh there is, yeah, Canie Phillips, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. Carney Porter and meteorologist Michael Bowling had a
Speaker 1: tense on air exchange on this newscast that's gone viral.
Speaker 1: She told the guy to just do his job and
Speaker 1: that he was boring. It was posted on Facebook when
Speaker 1: they said that these guys hate each other, there must
Speaker 1: be like some bad blood between them, and they responded
Speaker 1: by saying they do this all the time, and a
Speaker 1: statement shared with People magazine, he said that he was
Speaker 1: honestly shocked by how much the exchange has blown. No,
Speaker 1: Carnie and I are known for giving each other a
Speaker 1: hard time, and our community loves us for it. We
Speaker 1: really didn't even give it a second thought after it happened.
Speaker 1: Then the next day it was all over Facebook. We're
Speaker 1: super close like siblings, and there's no negative feelings between
Speaker 1: us whatsoever.
Speaker 2: His statement this is his exactly, is it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, his statement is that they're they're good because somebody
Speaker 1: picked it up.
Speaker 4: That's why it's I mean, they've done this a bunch
Speaker 4: of times before, and this is the one that hits.
Speaker 1: It's just because it got it got into the right eyes,
Speaker 1: the right ears.
Speaker 4: You know, the post has a TMZ has it, and
Speaker 4: not a one of them has a better copy of it.
Speaker 1: No, it's all that somebody filming their TV and low
Speaker 1: quality but.
Speaker 2: Releases a statement. They're like, no, I mean, he's really boring.
Speaker 2: I don't know why we continue to do this completely.
Speaker 1: I think she might have chimed in, hold on, let's
Speaker 1: see it says we're super close, like siblings. There's no
Speaker 1: negative feelings between us at all. Bowling also addressed the
Speaker 1: incident in a Facebook post echoing this statement, saying, Carnie
Speaker 1: and I are super close, nearly siblings in a way.
Speaker 1: We literally trash talk to each other all day and
Speaker 1: sometimes it comes out on air. Trust me, it's all love,
Speaker 1: she said.
Speaker 4: Carney Porter said, I just read Michael Bowling's statement and
Speaker 4: I felt like I was watching his boring ask to
Speaker 4: weather forecasts again, and so I just stopped snoring, so
Speaker 4: I took care to write this.
Speaker 1: They said. With that being said, I would never intentionally
Speaker 1: be mean or hurtful to Michael or anybody in our newsroom,
Speaker 1: on or off the air. We're all really close. I'm
Speaker 1: so lucky we have such great friends. For those who
Speaker 1: found the moment uncomfortable, I sincerely apologize. I don't apologize
Speaker 1: these people. They were just having fun with each other,
Speaker 1: just ribbing each other. As long as everybody's enjoying themselves,
Speaker 1: that's good to go. What else do we have here?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 1: I wanted to share this because I thought it was crazy.
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. They now have the team that used to
Speaker 1: be the Oakland Athletics, and they're unveiling no Oakland Raiders, No, no,
Speaker 1: no baseball baseball, oh Oakland Athletic. The Las Vegas Athletics
Speaker 1: stadium design has been released. When did they start making
Speaker 1: the little the like prototypes of the stadium designs?
Speaker 2: So awesome, that's so realistic.
Speaker 1: Wait so you see this? Hang on a second, here's
Speaker 1: actual lights in there, isn't it. Yeah? Yeah, So I'm
Speaker 1: going to put this up on see it now afterwards
Speaker 1: so everybody can see the visual. But they debuted what
Speaker 1: their new stadium, which is going to cost a boatload
Speaker 1: of money. They debuted what their new stadium is going
Speaker 1: to look like, and as they unveiled this, all right,
Speaker 1: there's like a huge cool and it's got lights flashing
Speaker 1: in the outfield. Wait for it, all right, wait for it,
Speaker 1: lights flashing in the outfield. There's one particular feature to this.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's a huge overhang that makes up the roof.
Speaker 1: They hit a button and the roof goes straight up
Speaker 1: in the air like an umbrella raising to the top.
Speaker 1: Is that that's so you can see inside? This is
Speaker 1: not what the stadium is gonna do.
Speaker 11: No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is it gonna Is that just for this or is that?
Speaker 1: Does the stadium do that? I why would the stadium
Speaker 1: do that because it's.
Speaker 2: Awesome or something. They thing, Yes, you can if you're
Speaker 2: time it out right. When the roof is going up,
Speaker 2: they hit a.
Speaker 1: Button and the entire top of this stadium goes upwards
Speaker 1: and it goes with these poles come out of the ground,
Speaker 1: sea land things. It's just for display. You might be right.
Speaker 1: I built this bad ass so cool. The model for
Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. I'm gonna put it up on see
Speaker 1: it now.
Speaker 4: Who gets to keep this when they've built the stadium
Speaker 4: and everything's done.
Speaker 1: Here, Yeah, I want it to This alone must have
Speaker 1: cost a lot of money, right, yes, So Las Vegas
Speaker 1: is getting all these sports teams and building out these
Speaker 1: venues for them, and one of the models that they've
Speaker 1: used is so freaking impressive. I'm gonna get this right
Speaker 1: now and take a screen show out of it so
Speaker 1: I can put it on see it now for you guys,
Speaker 1: because I think you're gonna love it.
Speaker 4: When I could only see the thumbnail, I was like,
Speaker 4: this thing looks like a spaceship. This thing looks like
Speaker 4: But what I was seeing though, was the table surrounding
Speaker 4: the model, which kind of, you know, added to the
Speaker 4: spaceshipness of what we were looking at. But either way,
Speaker 4: impressive looking stadium.
Speaker 1: New Vegas Stadium mock up. All right, I'm putting this
Speaker 1: up on see it now so you could take a
Speaker 1: look at it right now, or whenever you get a
Speaker 1: chance at your leisure, go over to the website the
Speaker 1: news Junker dot com. I really want to know if
Speaker 1: it goes up in the air like that, because that
Speaker 1: would be great, That would be pretty amazing, Like you
Speaker 1: could you have this overhang which helps you when it's
Speaker 1: like sunny or or if there's like too much rain
Speaker 1: or whatever. I guess you wouldn't protect yourself from the sun,
Speaker 1: but too much rain is coming in, you got a problem.
Speaker 1: But then if you want to raise it up in
Speaker 1: the air inexplicably, you could also do that.
Speaker 2: I guess fighter jet goes right through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, open holes, the flyovers. Yeah, the flyers go through
Speaker 1: fly through. Yeah. Can't do it anywhere else only there.
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive stuff. What's crazy?
Speaker 4: This stadium already has its own Wikipedia page, but it
Speaker 4: doesn't have a name yet. So the Wikipedia page is
Speaker 4: new Las Vegas Stadium.
Speaker 2: Oh right, take the point.
Speaker 1: I hope that they do this. I saw this over
Speaker 1: the weekend. I thought this was fake. The Cardinals, the
Speaker 1: Cardinals baseball team, baseball fans are really just reaping in
Speaker 1: the good content here for you. Today. The Cardinals are
Speaker 1: in Arizona, I believe, and in an effort to try
Speaker 1: to make tickets to their games a little more affordable,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are introducing a ticket package. Here's what you
Speaker 1: got get to go to the game. First of all,
Speaker 1: starts at twenty nine dollars. All right, it includes bottomless soda, what,
Speaker 1: bottomless hot dogs, bottomless chicken tenders, brought worst, unlimited nachos,
Speaker 1: unlimited fries, unlimited popcorn, peanuts, chips, and ice cream at
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 2: That's a massive deal. Something's up. What's the catch?
Speaker 1: They have an unlimited concessions option unlimited. I'll have to
Speaker 1: bring up a story on this unlimited.
Speaker 4: And wait, you're saying that the thirty dollars ticket falls
Speaker 4: under this unlimited concessions category.
Speaker 1: It sounds the ticket started. Yeah, the ticket started that
Speaker 1: I says. All right, here's here's what it says. This
Speaker 1: is from K s T. Are you sitting with your
Speaker 1: back to the game. What's the catch? If you're ready
Speaker 1: to get your fill of baseball and concessions, the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals have a deal for you. The Cardinals on Monday
Speaker 1: announced the Coca Cola Unlimited Deal, a new ticket option
Speaker 1: that offers bottomless soft drinks and ballpark eats for the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty sixth season. Included in the price, fans get
Speaker 1: a seat in Big Macland, Jesus limit Coca Cola Unlimited
Speaker 1: in Big back Land. Bring you so you get a
Speaker 1: risk band that allows you to go to the concession
Speaker 1: stand as many times as you want with no additional charges.
Speaker 1: Once you make your selection, you'll be able to pick
Speaker 1: up your items from the unlimited concession stand. You show
Speaker 1: the risk band, you grab your items, and you go.
Speaker 1: For more information to buy tickets, click here. It says, oh,
Speaker 1: so some games are cheaper than others. Okay, so like
Speaker 1: the some games started just twenty nine dollars. Other games
Speaker 1: are going to be more expensive than that. But it's
Speaker 1: twenty nine dollars unlimited soda and concession at the ballpark
Speaker 1: for that game. I think that would bring in a
Speaker 1: lot of people.
Speaker 2: I think so too.
Speaker 1: It's like, you guys are right though it sounds too
Speaker 1: good to be true.
Speaker 5: Are you going to be stuck in line if everyone
Speaker 5: gets the unlimited concession? You're not even watching the game,
Speaker 5: You're just waiting for your fourth hot dog?
Speaker 1: Well, I think it only happens in Big Backland. No
Speaker 1: Coca Cola, unlimited Big Mackland as, no transactions, just baseball
Speaker 1: and bottomless bites. And then I'm clicking on the actual tickets.
Speaker 1: So let's pick a game here.
Speaker 4: Fans may select from Ice Cold Fountain Coca Cola products,
Speaker 4: hot dogs, chicken tenders, brought worse, nacho cheese and chips,
Speaker 4: French fries, popcorn, peanuts, cattle chips, ice cream cups. You
Speaker 4: can select up to three items per visit and return
Speaker 4: as often as you'd like.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: I wonder can you go somewhere else? What you bring
Speaker 4: them to your seat? I'm looking at another game.
Speaker 1: I just picked Red Sox versus Cardinal's Sea Lane, and
Speaker 1: it's sixty five dollars a ticket, sixty bucks plus five
Speaker 1: dollars and fifty cents and fees, sixty five dollars out
Speaker 1: the door, and that gets you. That's for a good game.
Speaker 4: They go.
Speaker 1: The tickets go as low as as twenty something dollars,
Speaker 1: but this one's sixty five dollars and you get free food,
Speaker 1: bottomless food, and sodas. That's a that's a really good deal. Actually,
Speaker 1: it is a good deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Arizona, here we come.
Speaker 1: If you were going to go by yourself to a
Speaker 1: a restaurant and have a couple of drinks and SOA, well,
Speaker 1: you're not getting alcohol with this, but if you're gonna
Speaker 1: have some sodas and some foods, you might be thirty
Speaker 1: forty bucks deep. So it's not much more than that
Speaker 1: to see a baseball game and have unlimited food. Tell
Speaker 1: us if you would do it that.
Speaker 4: A person who has this can't really put down that
Speaker 4: many brought worst and chicken tenders. Maybe, yeah, give give
Speaker 4: it a shot. Oh, they're saying Saint Louis not Arizona.
Speaker 2: That yeah, a lot of people. Whatever, it's still fun.
Speaker 1: Saint Louis Cardinals. Sorry, sorry, s Saint Louis Cardinals. It's
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals Stadium where this is going down.
Speaker 1: But unlimited concessions is a pretty cool offer. Maybe that
Speaker 1: would make you want to go even to a baseball game.
Speaker 1: Let us know. Send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Cheez,
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten to a bunch of this stuff, but
Speaker 1: I'll try to get everything I teased in in the
Speaker 1: final segment.
Speaker 2: We got any topics?
Speaker 1: Ummm let me check? Uh yep, okay, right, my feet
Speaker 1: is coming in and will.
Speaker 4: Oh god, oh my gosh, interesting person has fans.
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna be a loser rate. My feet is a alright, okay,
Speaker 1: what am I is this? Ai? What am I even
Speaker 1: looking at?
Speaker 2: What those are? Fingertoes?
Speaker 1: Those are creepy. You can see this in the submitted
Speaker 1: dispatches the spatially section of the News Junkie dot cop
Speaker 1: lots of ooze and chat right.
Speaker 2: Now, Hey, gross, that's what Tarzan's feet look like.
Speaker 1: It is gross, all right? When we come back, final
Speaker 1: dispatch of stories that didn't make the cut in today,
Speaker 1: learn to wrap everything up for a Monday. All of
Speaker 1: that to wrap up the show coming up next in
Speaker 1: the News Junkie. Learn more about the show on the
Speaker 1: website thenews junkie dot com. I've been bad about working
Speaker 1: in some of the feedback, so let's see what we
Speaker 1: got here. On the way out. Here is DJ talking
Speaker 1: about nudity in the locker room. DJ says, at stage plays,
Speaker 1: it's not unusual for men and women to share the
Speaker 1: same locker room with nudity rampant. Then again, so many
Speaker 1: men in theater are gay. So a gay actor told me,
Speaker 1: do you know doctors can Now? Okay, I don't need
Speaker 1: to include that part. It's like a joke. But the
Speaker 1: world behind the scenes on these stage shows, he's saying,
Speaker 1: is not only a locker room situation, but it's men
Speaker 1: and women together willing to get naked. That seems very strange,
Speaker 1: But I guess that's the case.
Speaker 4: I think sometimes those, especially in Broadway, those theaters are
Speaker 4: so old and small that they weren't built for.
Speaker 1: To be able to separate stuff like that. It's probably right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they probably limited facilities built for me to sit in
Speaker 1: their seats. Yeah, it's let's tick a tighten there me too.
Speaker 1: Let's see, Anthony, this can't be true, Anthony emails tips
Speaker 1: at the news junkie dot com. He's talking about the
Speaker 1: fighter jets that were accidentally down by Kuwait and the
Speaker 1: people who ejected from them. Anthony says ejecting from an
Speaker 1: aircraft can cause pilots to lose one to two inches
Speaker 1: of height, often temporarily due to extreme spinal compression from
Speaker 1: the g forces. Well often a temporary, immediate or partial loss.
Speaker 1: Some regain the height over time. Some reported losses can
Speaker 1: be permanent due to damage vertebrae. Is that possibly true?
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm big sea lion. See if ejecting from
Speaker 1: an aircraft can cause you to lose one to two
Speaker 1: inches of height, because that is a crazy fact if true.
Speaker 1: And last one from now here this is uh oh boy,
Speaker 1: there's a lot, a lot of people here. Big John
Speaker 1: wants to talk about the stadium roof. He says, there
Speaker 1: are a handful of stadiums in the United States of
Speaker 1: America that have retractable roofs. Yeah, this isn't the one
Speaker 1: we're talking about. It's up on see it now. It
Speaker 1: is not a retractable roof in the sense that you
Speaker 1: have a roof like a convertible and the roof of retracts.
Speaker 1: This one was a crazy design of a roof and
Speaker 1: then there were these poles on that the roof was on,
Speaker 1: and the poles went straight up into.
Speaker 2: The air like a hydraulic lift.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you could lift the roof fifty feet up
Speaker 1: or something and open up this area so the wind
Speaker 1: could come in a bit. I don't know if that's real,
Speaker 1: but there you go. Regardless, I think we should do
Speaker 1: the math on if you were to lift that roof
Speaker 1: up for real.
Speaker 4: Like, based on the ratio of the size of the
Speaker 4: model to what the size of the stadium will be,
Speaker 4: how much would that roof have to lift into the
Speaker 4: air at full size to match what we saw in
Speaker 4: that video.
Speaker 1: Do you understand what I'm saying here? Yeah? I don't
Speaker 1: even that it would be crazy heavy. Just you can
Speaker 1: look at it yourself. Go look at it over on
Speaker 1: the news junkie dic The.
Speaker 4: Amount of hydraulics that you would need would be an
Speaker 4: insane amount of engineering.
Speaker 1: First stadium, I think it probably would. All right, what
Speaker 1: do we got on the way out here? Prediction market
Speaker 1: bets on the leader of Iran, the Supreme Leader being
Speaker 1: killed spurred outrage from all sides. Users bet at least
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty five million dollars over the killing
Speaker 1: of Iran's leader and strikes of Iran and Iran on
Speaker 1: KOLs and polymarket. There were a bunch of spikes right
Speaker 1: before the war started, and you start to go like, hey,
Speaker 1: are we just gonna be okay with the fact that
Speaker 1: people who now have a heads up on these things
Speaker 1: are going to take money and make millions of dollars
Speaker 1: off of their insider information. Why else would somebody right
Speaker 1: before the first bombs drop know that, Hey, I'm going
Speaker 1: to put a million dollars, are one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: on this bet for war with Iran to break out?
Speaker 1: Like you know that because you're in the know, and
Speaker 1: then you're utilizing that information to have a leg up
Speaker 1: on everybody else.
Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy an investigation at least.
Speaker 1: They I don't know if they've responded to this at all.
Speaker 1: They said most of the wallets that were involved in
Speaker 1: this were funded in the last twenty four hours before
Speaker 1: this took place. They specifically bet for February twenty eighth
Speaker 1: to be the day that the war started. They bought yes,
Speaker 1: any hours before the strike seems a little sus it does?
Speaker 1: It does? It really does. All right, let's get the
Speaker 1: hell out of here. Let's do today a larn.
Speaker 3: The following information may make you feel smarter, but will
Speaker 3: not actually increase your IQ.
Speaker 1: So don't get cocky.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 1: It's dollar what we call today. They're tuning laws are yeah.
Speaker 4: Also, but much like Trump's response to Obama talking about
Speaker 4: the aliens, it's like they're giving out classified information.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Hey, somebody's given something classified. I know that
Speaker 1: they already track the pizzas and they'll see all the
Speaker 1: pizzas by the Pentagon. Our Pentagon pizza tracker is going off,
Speaker 1: and they know something is happening. Well, if they start
Speaker 1: tracking these markets and say hey, right before one of
Speaker 1: these events happen, usually there's a spike and that's how
Speaker 1: we know it's incoming. Countries might know that the attacks
Speaker 1: are incoming from the insider information.
Speaker 2: And place their bets to help with the fix up
Speaker 2: and clean up.
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Today learn for a Monday March second,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and today learn let's see, we're just
