See Lane, you know, let's 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.319 just put our ears to the ground, our fingers on 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.440 the pulse, and let's see what's happened to this great, big, 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:27.440 wide world of ours. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.520 You might recognize this man him. 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.280 Yes, he's gonna get it started because I think we 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.560 can use a little Tuesday Sea. Lane's self described worst 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:41.640 day of the week. He hates Tuesdays. He's like Garfield 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.119 one day later, He's a delayed Garfield as they say. 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.040 It's one of his nicknames actually, and delayed Garfield does 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.200 not like Tuesdays. So I'm gonna try to warm him 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.840 up with our friend. He's been on the show many times. 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.279 Frankie McDonald just wanted to spread some happiness this morning, 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.440 so we record himself laughing and he really put a 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:03.120 lot into it. 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:21.600 Let's listen in Get Out. It feels good. I think 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.799 there's a form of yoga like this. I think there's 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:28.120 a form of yoga I know. Yeah, there's two types. 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.240 There's one where you go up and scream. There's the 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.920 one that Courtney does where they turn on the heat 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.360 and it's consane and then there's one where you laugh. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.960 You go up and you laugh as loud and as 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.320 much as you can, and it's like the forced smile. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.120 You know you're a fake laugh. It makes you feel better. 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:54.800 This man can open his mouth, he can't very wide. 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:57.280 There we go. Thank you. 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.720 Frankie McDonald's all right. I want you to all repeat 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:00.639 that wherever you are. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:02.959 Oh. 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.680 I turned my throat a little bit. It's I'm not 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.480 gonna lie. I'm still a little ut of the weather. 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.960 But thank you, Frankie McDonald. Love him the best of 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.840 the best. Follow him online, Frankie mcdee, you know where 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.520 he is. We we have to do a little bit 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.400 of an update on Asaga. We've been following Sea Lane, 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.840 so now's the time to work this in if you 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.200 don't mind. You know, when I saw this story, I said, 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.040 you would have thought at this point in time that 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:32.680 people might just maybe maybe be learning a lesson on 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.520 these commencement speeches about mentioning. 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.400 Come on again, no one is learning their lesson. 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.120 There's enough art kids out there, there's enough theater kids 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.800 out there, there's enough anti AA kids out there. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:51.000 They are booing them all everywhere. Anti AA, Yeah, alcoholics, 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:56.080 anti AI anti not my people, the anti AI people. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.360 And in this case you had Scott Borschetta, who I 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.440 guess is the CEO of Big Machine Records, which I 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.600 think used to be Taylor Swift's record label, but I'm 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.880 not positive on that. Scott Porschet, a CEO of Big 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.160 Machine Records. He brought it up at a commencement speech. 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.760 He started getting the booze too, and then he tried 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:18.560 to fight back. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.039 This is the first person at the commencement speech is 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.120 to get booed on the AI front. That fought back. 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:24.480 Let's see how it went for him. 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:29.080 Then, in the fifty years prior streaming rewrote the economics, 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:37.160 social media rewrote the discovery model. AI is rewriting production 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:38.440 as we sit here. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:45.760 Oh, I know it. Deal with it, with it. I 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:50.480 now deal with it. Working in a deal. He sees 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:51.599 the booze are coming out. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.600 Perhaps he heard the show, he heard the other people 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.680 getting booed for the AI mentioned the commencement speeches, and 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:58.760 he said, I'm going to keep this in my speech. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.480 But what I gotta do is I gotta be ready 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.320 so I don't deal with it. I know it, deal 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.200 with it. Like I said, it's a tool. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.640 Hey, like I said, you can you can hear me 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.240 now or you can pay me later. 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.920 Huh. I don't know. I don't know if I got that. 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.000 Like I said, you can hear me now or you 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.359 can pay me later. Okay, I mean, is there a 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:30.520 context of that that we're missing out on? No, you 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.679 can hear me now or you can pay me later. 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.760 I think he's he's getting ahead of himself with the 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:36.880 slogan earring, but you. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:37.560 Can pay me later. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.760 Hey, then do something about it. Okay, it's a tool. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.960 Make it work for you, the things you learned. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.640 He tries to continue. He do something about it. All right, Fine, 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.520 it is a tool, get used to it. But I mean, now, 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.400 pay me later. Did I get that wrong? Hear me 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:03.160 now or I'm done? 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.560 I don't know why I went that route, but I'm 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.120 I'm basically a prostitute. 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:10.760 That's true. 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.479 But what's not true is that you can get away 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.679 with this at these commencement speeches. Theater kids hate AI, 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.960 all right, Art students hate AI. There's these anti AI 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:25.280 younger people who are all over these colleges and they 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.120 don't like it, and so you keep bringing it up. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.000 It's like all you have to do is not mentioned AI. 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.400 Now these people just keep stepping in it, for God's sake. 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.520 There was a college I think I have a clip 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.200 of this. There was a college Sea Lane where you 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.839 know how they do the announcements of every single student somebody. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:45.520 It takes forever too and they'll be at like a 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.039 a stadium I think, sometimes like an arena. 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.640 And the high school graduation was held in an arena. 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.719 Right, so they're like, your school is so big that 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.960 everybody gets to bring five guests or six guests, and 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.080 because they're a thousand kids all of a sudden, that 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:03.279 means you filled an arena. 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:03.560 Right. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.520 It's like it's a whole thing, and they could even 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.359 make money on it and stuff, and they'll go ladies 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:15.040 and gentlemen. Christopher Dolores Lane with his bachelor's in fine arts, 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.880 and you know, Christopher Delores Lane comes up the air. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.120 He tried to do something fun for his moment in 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.320 the in the spotlight. But it's a lot of it's 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.720 a lot of names, right, It's a lot of names 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.880 to read out. So one college decided instead of reading 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.920 off all the names, let's have AI read off all 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:36.760 the names. 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.760 That's ridiculous. There something could go wrong there. Of course 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.440 something could go wrong, and in fact, seven point seven 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.120 million reviews later, you know it did go wrong. Let's 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:46.560 listen it. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:53.160 Here A graduates everyone who is standing this what's here's 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.480 what's happening. We're using a new AI system. 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:04.480 That's our reader. Oh is this music added afterwards? I 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:04.880 don't know. 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.680 I don't know if everybody just the ai the haye 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.160 ai clip movement, the clipper movement for haye ai is 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.720 ramping it up, or if they had the dramatic music 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.680 with the AI reading each name and it started malfunctioning 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.760 and it wasn't reading people's names, and this lady, a 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.200 human had to go up and go. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.000 I think we made a mistake. 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.760 So that is that is a lesson learned for us? 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:31.720 Is it. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.280 What we were able to do though, as each of 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.000 you were able to walk the stage and get a picture, 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.880 which is what I would hope would be the most 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.559 meaningful meaningful? 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:52.240 Oh uh, let me tell you something. Normally, I go, hey, 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.760 this whole thing is just a giant waste of time. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.920 We were reading every student's name one by one, we 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.960 go but also a lot of these kids spent number 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.360 one four years. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.520 To get to this moment. Okay, Number one, they spent 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.120 four years to get to this moment. Number two, doesn't 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.959 the average college experience cost like fifty sixty eighty thousand 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:15.880 dollars or more now. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.960 In twenty twenty six. I mean when when you factor 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:23.160 in housing if you are going to college away from 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.920 your home, a factor in books, which are severely inflated 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.120 price wise. Surech yeah, one hundred percent. 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.920 So now you go, well, we're just gonna everybody's gonna 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.320 call up here and get a moment for a photo. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.719 And is that what Isn't that what really matters here? No? No, 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.439 what I want to do is I want to hear 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:43.920 my name and I want my family to be able 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.319 to clap and I want to I want that. That's 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.200 That's what I'm paying all of you this, all of 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.640 this money for. That's what the whole college experience comes 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.280 down to. That's just crazy to me, that keep screwing up. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.280 The kids don't like the AI stuff all right for now, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.520 at least they don't like it. So just remember that 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.760 because I think there's a couple of these left before 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.560 it's wrapped up for it now year. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.559 I don't know if they've changed things up or outed 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:12.680 AI or anything. But like when I graduated, my school 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.240 had this down to a science because there were so 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.120 many people. We had to we had to keep it moving. Yeah, 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.240 there was two name readers, right, and they alternated and 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.679 then you know, if you were next up, you went 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.760 to the name reader that that waved you over to 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.680 them because the other person was you whispered your name 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.000 in their ear, your full name. Oh you did, and 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.280 then you kept walking. The guy read your. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.040 Name like you just do the bit that people do 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.280 on the ET ride at Universal Studios. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.200 I ask you for your name, and ET says it 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.920 at the end, but you go like Oliver close up. 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.480 I don't know if they did that because I think 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.120 we also had a piece of paper with our name 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.120 on it. I don't remember. You know, they might have 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.680 had some ways of trying to keep people from any 0:10:55.720 --> 0:11:01.920 sort of Thomas foolery, but yeah, no, I mean when 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.880 we played the clip yesterday of Shaquille O'Neal and is 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:09.920 like Shaquille Charles Barkley sucks O'Neill, I was like, I wonder, 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.640 how did he pulled out all that? That is fantastic? 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:15.960 All I have a clip and then a question for 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.600 you to start off the show here today. The clip 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.120 is from that guy over on Shark Tank mister wonderful, 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.000 all right, Kevin O'Leary is his name, Kevin O'Leary, originally 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.680 famous for shark tank stuff, now famous for he's trying 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.560 to build like an AI data center, and people are 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.600 against that because those things aren't popular in any neighborhoods, right, 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:39.760 And so Kevin O'Leary is talking about gen Z finances 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.040 to bring it to the younger generation. 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:42.640 Here's the clip that started cat standard. 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.880 When I see kids that are making seventy grand a 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.080 year spending twenty eight dollars for lunch, I mean, that's 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.599 just stupid. Just think about that in the context of 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.840 that being put into an index and making eight to 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:56.400 ten percent a year for the next fifty years. 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:56.840 All right. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.679 So this guy says, there's young people going out the workforce. 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.280 They're making seventy thousand dollars a year and they're spending 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:05.680 twenty eight dollars on lunch. 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.280 And this is a you know, a. 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.760 Commentary on young people spending so much of their budgets 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:15.720 on food, delivery, door dash, Uber eats all of those things. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.600 And one of the top comments six point two million views. 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.520 Is lunch just costs twenty eight dollars? 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:21.719 Now? 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.960 Are they not supposed to eat? So this guy probably 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.520 hate bait. You know what I mean is you try 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:31.280 to outrage bait people here. Lunch just cost twenty eight dollars? 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.280 Now are they not supposed to eat? Says this person 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.840 sean scene. Lunch does just cost twenty eight dollars. That's 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.680 what he's that. He's like, Look, lunches cost twenty eight dollars. 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:44.360 They not eat with they're spending. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.800 Twenty eight dollars on lunch because lunch costs twenty eight dollars. 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.679 Here's what I want to figure out. What did you 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.520 have for lunch today? Right? And what did it cost? 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.120 That's what we want to know because we want to 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.040 sort this out. Will utilize the audience. I want to 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.640 sort this out. Send us a dispatch. What did you 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.520 have for lunch? What does it cost? 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.560 And it doesn't matter if it was fast food, it 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.839 doesn't matter if you brought something from home. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.199 Do a little itemization of it. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.800 Just tell us what you got, what you add for lunch, 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.000 and what it costs, and will see if lunch does 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.080 cost twenty eight dollars a month. Maybe that's a real issue. 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:19.280 We'll find out together. 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.240 I mean, twenty eight dollars seems high for fast food 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.959 unless you're getting it delivered. That's a lot. I mean 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:30.080 what it seems low for table service right now? Well, yeah, 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.080 if you're going to sit down somewhere. I think they're 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.760 just talking about grabbing a lunch for the day. And 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:37.600 for me, I mean, look the lunch. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.640 I have same lunch every day, sticky rice, chicken and 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.520 siracha right every single day. That with a bag of pretzels. 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.520 My lunch costs. I know how much it costs because 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.120 I've looked at it before. I get the sticky rice 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:54.720 from Costco, I get the chicken from either Costco or Publics, 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.920 and then obviously si racha. It's about like a dollars 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.040 seventy five or two dollars is a day for my lunch, 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.560 and I love it. It's the greatest thing ever. Why 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.720 I work through this show because later on I don't 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.920 need for a long time during the day. Finally, when 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.520 I breakfast, No, it had never never, ever, ever, ever ever, 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:17.080 unless I'm really hungover. Ardna says, I spent five dollars 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.080 or six dollars six dollars on a biggie bag from Wendy's. Well, 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.640 you're coming in twenty two dollars under budget according to 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.440 these folks. I want to know what did you have 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.120 for lunch today and what did it cost so we 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.920 could see if this sorts out right. Let us know 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.800 what your dispatches. You can be anonymous if you'd like. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.400 Over at the neewsjunkie dot com quick Break when we 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.280 come back, another fight over e bikes. I got some 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.760 emails coming in hot. We'll see what you have to say. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.440 It's a share of the show Tuesday, and it's all 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.520 coming up next on the news Junkie. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:04.040 Hey, aw, so over these e bikes in different cities continues. 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:05.080 You've had people killed. 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.280 You had some poor teenager smashed by I think it 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.520 was a truck right a week or so ago, and 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.000 you've had a lot of other instances where people have 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:18.400 been hurt. We had the instance in the neighborhood where 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:23.160 the local security guy for the neighborhood HOA tried to 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.440 stop the guy on the kid on the e bike 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.640 and the kid was like, get your hands off of me. 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.840 You don't have any authority, And then they arrested the 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.520 hoa security guard, and he's facing time behind bars. 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:38.000 He's facing a felony robbery charge because he snatched the 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.880 phone out of the kid's hand. Yeah, like I thought 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.000 that was a little crazy, but like this is, it's 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.840 heating up. And I said, my theory for this not 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.760 taking sides really on this particular issue, because my point is, 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.520 if I was young, I would one thousand percent be 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.520 one of the kids, one of the many kids riding 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:59.400 these e bikes, riding the scooters, certainly around my neighborhood. 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.800 I'd begging my parents. I even did when I was 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.960 a kid. They were gas powered back when I was 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.920 a kid, the scooters, but now they're all electric, and 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.200 I would be begging for one. So I'm not gonna 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.560 judge the cars. If you had to mix it with oil, 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.240 probably yeah, like a little two is a two stroke 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.320 or whatever like that. Yeah, So I would back then 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.240 be so desperate to try to get anything like that. 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.760 I know without a doubt, and I can't be hypocritical 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.800 about this. I know that if I was a kid 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.040 right now, I'd be dying for one of these e 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.000 bikes or e scooters. And I think it was fun, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:30.840 and I think it was a level of like independence 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.160 and freedom to driving around. I'm just being real with you. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.480 That's what I would I would think, So I try 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.080 to keep that in mind. But I also know I 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.600 see them whizzen through my neighborhood. Everybody rides these things 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.680 on the sidewalks, and it seems like you're not really 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.360 supposed to do that. Sometimes there'll be a whole pack 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.640 of them on the sidewalk and I'm I'm walking on 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.480 the sidewalk, which is literally in the name, I'm walking here. Hey, 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.400 I'm walking here, and they're all they'll make me step 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.160 off the sidewalk for them to cruise buy and their 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.040 gang of scooters, And you know, I don't want to 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.240 fight with them and have some kind of problem, but like, 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.400 these are the things that are boiling under the surface, 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.879 and they're the things that cause these issues. The latest 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.480 moment that's going viral is a couple who got into 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:16.360 it with these young boys riding e bikes, and now 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:21.240 the mother wants felony charges for these people too. We're 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.560 starting to fill the jails up with people resisting the 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:25.800 e bike takeover. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:27.560 I think I have the video here. Let's see if 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.520 we can watch what happened in this interaction. 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.320 Oh, here we go at you near Jupiter, where a 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.960 mother says an elderly couple stole her twelve year old 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.320 son's e bike and his friends while they stopped to 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.240 go fish. Okay, she's urging the Palm Beach County Sheriff's 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:46.359 office to pursue tougher charges. Video showing confrontation between a 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.760 pair of teens and this couple near Jupiter. 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:54.120 Of all right, the kids have fishing poles. The older 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.200 couple has both of their e bikes. They're the kinds 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.560 with the big fat tires on them that kind of 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.480 look like a a motorcycle or something, right, and those 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.080 the more you know, the more it's start look less 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.960 like an e bike and a little more motorcycle. Yeah, 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.760 but I then you know what the lesson should be here. Hey, 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.760 if you don't like e bikes or e scooters or whatever, 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.080 you can't just take people's stuff. No, Like you get 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.240 calm and dear somebody's e bike because you're mad about them. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.480 That's what these old people did. They're they're pissed off. 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:26.840 I get it. You're boiling over. 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.200 Like, like I said, is the only thing I probably won't 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.120 take a firm side on because I can understand what's 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:32.960 going on here. 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:37.160 But like, just because you're an older person does not 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.560 put you in a position of authority. No, you can't 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.080 just take people's property. No, you can't. No, it's stealing. 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:45.720 And that's what happened to the guy who was the 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.879 HOA security guy. It's stealing it. It could be like 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.280 the guy with the with the HOA, the guy the 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:56.040 gated community. You could end up being a felony if 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.359 it's you're robbing the person to their face, not just 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:03.080 stealing it. It was parked somewhere. You know, I'm assuming 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.240 since these kids are in the video probably taking the 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.600 video that this is a lot was very similar to 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:13.120 the situation in the gated community. So I would want 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.560 one hundred percent if I was the parent, want to 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.720 pursue these elevated charges. Yeah, and I like, I know 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.440 what they're gonna say, Sea Lane. They're gonna go, well, 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.439 they were cursing and they were being rude, and this 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:26.399 doesn't matter as you Yeah, you still you can't. You 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.000 can't do anything about it because you don't like it. 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:33.080 Like that, if you want to go after the kids 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.600 for whatever they did. Fine. If if there's a citation 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:40.600 for riding these bikes on a sidewalk when they're supposed 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.560 to be in the street, hit them with the citation. 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.560 If there's some sort of fine for the bikes being 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:50.639 too fast and needing a license, maybe pursue that, But 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.720 not without going after these people who take it upon 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.479 themselves to be you know, neighborhood watch or you know, 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:01.960 acting like they're they have some sort of power over 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:05.800 you because you don't. They're they're like they're deputizing themselves 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:08.600 and giving themselves the authority to commandeer stuff. 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:13.200 I disagree with this descent, though. Florida Scratcher on YouTube says, 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.479 I don't get the problem. They're just a bike. They 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:19.800 don't go any faster than what you can pedal a bike. Well, 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:23.080 I would say on average, they're absolutely going faster than 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.479 people pedal bikes can. Some people in the world of 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.120 competitive biking pedal as fast as a lot of these 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:29.760 e bikes go. 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.440 Sure, but that I mean that what does that mean? 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.119 That means that we would just ignore the fact that 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:37.880 this is different in some way. Well, yeah, I think 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.040 it is different. I think it's different than just pedal 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.560 bikes riding around, and I also think he's wrong. They 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.240 I mean, at least for the ones that I've been on, 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:49.320 like the ones that you can rent downtown. The line bikes, 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:53.159 they go one hundred percent, not one hundred percent, like 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:57.800 I'm not. You know, they go faster absolutely than you 0:20:57.840 --> 0:20:59.600 would if you were just on a regular bike pedaling. 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.800 I could peddle for sure, right right, yeah, like one 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.760 hundred percent on average, these things are going faster, which 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:06.160 is what I. 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:08.679 Said, Like, take your line bike and pedal this at 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.040 the same speed you take a regular ass bicycle and 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.360 pedal that, and the line bike is going faster. It's 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.960 power assisted. Let's see what else happens here. My wife 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:18.280 is not insulting. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.600 Melissa tells me her son and his friend. We're fishing 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:24.960 along Crown Quay Lane when Frederick and Deborah Minor came 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:27.200 out of their home trespass. 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.640 This is prevate property, that's private property. 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:35.160 According to investigators, the Miners took the bikes to their driveway. 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.840 I gotta tell everybody everybody in a situation like this, 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.000 the warning from me to you is you are not 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:43.800 the police. Please don't try to act like the police 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.720 when something is bothering, you call the police, call whatever 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:49.720 line you're supposed to call the complain about this one 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.119 of the greatest tools on planet Earth. 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:55.159 On planet Earth, we have. We have it in our neighborhood. 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.560 If you have a neighbor who, let's say, like their 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:02.960 grass is out of control, or they're violating county ordinances 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:07.280 in some way, or they're being too loud after hours, 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.280 or you know what, riding around too fast on e bikes. 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:13.320 There's an app where you can report these incidents. When 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:16.320 they receive the reports of the incidences, they go over 0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:18.240 or they send a letter or whatever to the people. 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:21.960 Then eventually the situation gets remedied. It's genius, it's great, 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.919 and nobody knows you're reporting it. All right, Do I 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:25.320 use it? 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:25.440 No? 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:27.640 I don't have this kind of time, but a lot 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:29.840 of people do. And I think that that's the way 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.439 to keep things copa setic in your neighborhood and handle 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.480 these kind of problems like this. The family here, these 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:38.160 old people, the olderes just grabbed the bike, says. 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.280 They were moving them to the garage like they previously 0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:41.480 did with another team. 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:44.560 You can't I couldn't believe that older people in their 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:46.639 seventies would act that way. All they had to do 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:49.280 was say, you know you're trespassing. We don't allow fishing here. 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:50.719 This is a private to way community. 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:53.120 Could you please leave, Deputy say when one of the teams, 0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:53.560 hold on, I. 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:55.920 Got the police report here. Mister Abbey has attempted to 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.160 grab the handlebars of his bicycle and take it back 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:01.879 from mister Minter. That's the mister minor. Excuse me, that's 0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:03.600 gonna be confusing because I think that's the old guy, 0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:07.320 And while doing so, mister minor slapped his hands away. 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.760 All parties remained involved in a verbal dispute regarding the 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:14.439 return of the bicycles. Both juveniles stated multiple times that 0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:16.720 they would have left the property if asked by mister 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:20.080 and Missus Minor. Additionally, mister and Missus Minor, again the 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:23.439 old couple, made multiple statements that the bicycles no longer 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:26.840 belonged to the juveniles due to their trespassions. Not how 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:29.560 it works, and it can't do that. You go, you 0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:32.600 know what, these are not yours anymore, like the world 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:33.000 is not. 0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:37.160 The world's children are not your kids. And sometimes people 0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:38.919 forget this. They say this all that they'll be like, 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.400 it takes a village to raise a child. Kiss my ass. 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:44.639 The village isn't raising my child. I am okay sometimes 0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:47.680 and I think that so many times the people will 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:49.080 be like, take the village to raise a child, So 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:50.080 we're gonna punish him. 0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:53.040 We're taking their e bikes away. No you're not. You 0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:53.800 can't do that. 0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:56.760 They further stated they wanted to place the bicycles in 0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:59.160 their garage, as they had previously done with another juvenile 0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:00.280 was caught fishing lake. 0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.760 These people need lawyers. They need somebody to tell them 0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:07.080 to shut up because they are saying, uh, we do 0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:09.919 this all the day, made multiple statements that the bicycles 0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:12.600 no longer belong to the juveniles. Well, that was dumb. 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:15.199 They further stated they wanted to put the stuff in 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:16.840 their garage because they've done it before. 0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:21.440 Stupid. Yeah, here's the best part you lent. The two 0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:24.280 juveniles provided me. This is the officer provided me with 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:27.240 video recordings taken on their cell phones after mister and 0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:30.120 Missus Miner took possession of their e bikes. The videos 0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:33.359 confirmed the statements made by both mister and Missus Miner 0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:37.120 about the juveniles. So it's like, hey, they ratted themselves out, 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:40.000 and the kids recorded it, and they confirmed that what 0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:41.760 they said about themselves taking. 0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:44.560 The e bikes was true. They're screwed. You can't do this. 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:46.280 You're not allowed to do this. 0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:50.879 Frederick slapped his hand away, and Frederick refused dispatches several 0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:53.760 requests to return the bikes. Did your son feel thread 0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:55.240 and or scared at any point? 0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:57.840 He did, because he was not able to call me 0:24:57.920 --> 0:24:59.720 until after. You know, nobody has a right to put 0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:01.879 their hand on young children. Nobody has a right to 0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:03.040 see other people's property. 0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:06.040 Melissa is now pushing for harsher charges. It should have 0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:09.200 been a felony okay, So they want a felony charge. 0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:12.280 They want these old people tossed behind bars. There their seventies, 0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:16.160 Mike too, okay, they want these old people in their seventies. 0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:19.960 We we let hobos out alle hundred and fifty times 0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:23.200 when they're slicing the neighborhood apart and cutting people's faces up. 0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:25.600 And showing shoving in front of trains. But we're gonna 0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:28.600 put the seventy year olds for commandeering the e. 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:30.960 Bikes in jail, all right. That's where our society's at 0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:34.480 but that's a whole other thing. They want felony charges. Now. 0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:35.600 They're not alone in this. 0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:38.680 There are a lot of different things where people are 0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:42.040 starting to go we need new rules. There's commissioners all 0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.280 over the place that are now starting with hearings about 0:25:44.520 --> 0:25:46.040 what do we need to do here? We need some 0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:49.040 sort of legislation to stop this from happening over and 0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:54.240 over again. The people, mostly older people, are angry about 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:58.359 the younger people, mostly younger people, who are driving around 0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:01.560 on these eastcooters in their names. And this is the 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:04.440 result of all of that. So who's in the wrong. 0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:07.800 Should the old people go to jail? What do you 0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:10.280 think about all of this? I'd love to hear your 0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:12.840 take today.

This is uh Ben in Daytona, Florida, who says, hey, 0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:46.159 news junkie, excuse me to retouch on the situation with 0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:50.119 the mail carrier yesterday. This was the woman who yelled 0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.800 at the mail person, the maleman who walked across her 0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.439 grass and she says to me a favorite, get off 0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:59.480 my grass, and the mail carrier goes back on the 0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:02.199 sidewalk and then pulled out her mail and threw it 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:05.280 on the grass in front of her and this person. 0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:07.560 Ben and Daytona says, hey, news junkie to retouch on 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:10.639 that situation. You guys didn't take into account that this 0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:14.760 scenario was probably something that bothered this lady before, and 0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:16.720 she took it upon herself to be there at a 0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:20.840 delivery time and ambushed this person with a bad attitude. 0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:23.440 I'm sure if she would have used the same opportunity 0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:27.000 to correct their behavior like a rational adult, it would 0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:31.800 have gone differently on both parts. Longtime listener Ben in Daytona, 0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:33.840 thank you, Ben for the email. 0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:35.800 You know, I don't know if I would call it 0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:41.080 an ambush. She and her partner husband some other guy 0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.400 in the background that we heard but did not see. 0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:47.200 It seemed to be some sort of situation where their 0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:50.000 garage was open and they were doing stuff. Yeah, and 0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:52.359 maybe they planned on doing stuff at that time that 0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:55.280 in the hope to confront the mail guy. Maybe not, 0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:58.600 But like there was like there was like a set 0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:01.480 of weights out in the driveway. There was a bunch 0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:04.360 of crap around that didn't seem like it was a setup. 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:06.119 To me, it didn't seem like a setup. But I 0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:08.720 did make the point that I was like, it almost 0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:12.520 seems like we're missing something. Like the mail carrier's reaction 0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:17.640 was super agro for just a quick confrontation about him 0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:20.400 walking on the lawn. So I'm like, I wonder if 0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:24.000 this is not their first interaction and they've they've had 0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:26.280 problems before, and this is just the only video we're 0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:27.480 seeing of this, it. 0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:29.080 Could be all right, We're gonna take quick break. We 0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.959 got more emails to get to here. Momentarily, we had 0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:35.080 a shooting at San Diego yesterday. I'll explain what happened 0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:38.000 there and go over the craziness that led to it. 0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:41.400 When a mother noticed her son was missing, her car 0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:45.200 was missing, and her guns were stolen. What happened after 0:28:45.720 --> 0:29:04.560 that's coming up next on the news Junkie. A shooting 0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:08.280 in San Diego yesterday has garnered a lot of headlines. 0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:10.880 Let's see what's going on. The craziest thing about this 0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:14.600 I'll work through a couple of things here. The craziest 0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:18.520 thing about the shooting at this mosque in San Diego 0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:23.480 yesterday was this piece of information San Diego police said 0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:25.800 the mother of one of the suspects, because apparently there 0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:29.120 were two teenagers who were working together to shoot up 0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:32.240 this mosque and they ended up taking their own lives. 0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:35.360 And the mother of one of the suspects reported this 0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:39.480 morning that several of her weapons and her vehicle were missing, 0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:42.760 and her son was suicidal, and he was with a 0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:47.160 companion and they were both dressed in camouflage. The mom 0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:50.960 called the cops and was like, Hey, I don't know 0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:54.360 how many problems, yeah, Like, how many red flags do 0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:58.040 you need? The mom's like, hey, my son is missing, 0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:01.960 he's with his teenage friend, and the vehicle that I 0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:05.800 have has been stolen by them. My son is suicidal, 0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:08.560 meaning he like left behind some sort of note or something, 0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:11.200 or they're both dealing with depression. In general. 0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:13.320 Maybe could it could be, but I think there was 0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:17.320 a note in this case. They were both dressed in 0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:21.560 camouflage and the cops go, all right, we're on the move, 0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:24.400 and the cops had out there and they were actively 0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:29.000 looking for the teens when the shooting at this Islamic 0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:30.080 center ended up happening. 0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:32.280 I mean, if she knew the son was suicidal, I 0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:36.000 think maybe the first thing would be getting rid of 0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:40.240 your weapons, yeah, or maybe you know, locking them in 0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:44.160 a safe that there's no way this kid could know 0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:47.640 the combination too. Perhaps, Yeah. I also, I'll tell you 0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:49.600 see late it's a little different now. Like when I 0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:54.160 was young, my father had he had a couple of rifles. 0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:57.400 He had two rifles in the closet at all times, 0:30:57.400 --> 0:31:00.840 and he had some rounds in there and some ammunition 0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:03.920 in there. And I knew that the guns were in there. 0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:06.640 They were zipped up in these gun cases, and I 0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:10.840 knew that they were like these nice rifles. But I 0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:15.920 never once when I was younger, not one time went 0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.640 and grabbed the gun or like put bullets in it 0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:22.160 or fired it off in the backyard or I never 0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:24.880 did that. I never touched my dad's gun because I 0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:26.760 was afraid my dad was gonna beat my ass if 0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.360 I touched his gun. I was afraid if the cops came, 0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:31.160 they would put me in jail if I touched my 0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:35.720 dad's gun, Like I was afraid. Imagine this. I was 0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:40.800 afraid of a little thing called consequences, and I did 0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:43.960 not touch my parents' weapons. What a concept. 0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:49.040 Of course, I am not what these kids were, which 0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:52.880 is probably mentally a lunatic who was suicidal and hell 0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:56.560 bent on just engaging in violence on the way out. 0:31:57.200 --> 0:32:00.040 But it's kind of crazy that now this happens in 0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:01.960 in a different way. If you're gonna be a parent, 0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:05.200 you're gonna have a gun around kids, especially, And I 0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:09.200 whenever they ask parents where they're like, were you surprised 0:32:10.000 --> 0:32:13.760 that your child shut up the school? I always hear 0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:16.560 the parents like, yes, oh my god, it was shocked. 0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:17.440 I was stunned. 0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:20.600 And then you look at the history in the house, 0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:23.400 You look at the parent interacting with the child, you 0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.080 look at who the child was, you look at all 0:32:25.160 --> 0:32:27.280 the signs of red flags, and you go the idea 0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:29.600 that you were surprised this happened. It makes me think 0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:33.080 you're dumb, because it was obvious to everybody else. So 0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:34.760 when you look at your kid, I want you to 0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:36.800 look at your kid. All right, you've got a teenage kid. 0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:38.400 I want you to look at your kid, look them 0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:41.680 in the eyes, and think to yourself, is there a 0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:43.400 chance that my kid is a school shooter? 0:32:44.560 --> 0:32:46.400 I think, whether we want to admit it or not, 0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:48.320 we all have an answer to that where I think 0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:49.920 we know. I think we know more than we were 0:32:49.920 --> 0:32:52.200 willing to give up. Do they have a fascination with 0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:56.360 school shootings? Do they seem to have a lot of aggression? 0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.960 Are they bad at communicating? Do they have an obsession 0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:04.120 with weapons? Or they have an obsession with like figures? 0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:05.960 Do they have an obsession with Columbine? 0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:09.240 Like look at your kid? Just just think is my 0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:12.800 kid potentially a school shooter. We've had people email the 0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:14.160 show and they'll be like, hey, I don't want to 0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:16.920 say this on a dispatch, but one hundred percent. 0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:17.680 I think my kid could do this. 0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:19.719 If if the school called and said my kids shout up, 0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:22.440 school wouldn't be surprised. So therefore, I make sure my 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:26.520 stuff is lockdown, Like they don't know where the keys 0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:29.440 are to my guns. My gun's safe is so secure. 0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:31.840 I feel like we don't necessarily hear that from as 0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:36.320 many parents as like, you know, another step of family 0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:41.160 member away, like y know, I think my nephew, Yeah, 0:33:41.280 --> 0:33:43.000 maybe you can't look at it as honestly as it's 0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:46.600 that close to you now if I you know, it's 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:48.760 a little too early for me to start trying to 0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:53.560 make these determinations. It's Jackson school, especially since if I 0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:57.160 asked Jackson today if he wanted to shoot up a school, 0:33:57.200 --> 0:34:01.000 he would probably say yes. Uh, because says yes to everything. 0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:03.800 And it's a game that I like to play now 0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:06.200 because if I'm trying to like ask him what he 0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:08.239 did this day? Or did you do this? Yes? Did 0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:09.920 you do this? Yeah, I'm like, you're just saying yes 0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:15.880 to everything. Did you and your grandmother do Heroin today? Yeah? Yes? Yeah? 0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:16.680 You know it's brutal. 0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:18.640 If he started doing Heroin with his grandma, you never 0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:21.000 know now because he's built into the bit. 0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:24.759 There would be signs. Probably I want to go to 0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:28.879 an eyewitness at this Islamic center that these two teenagers 0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:31.160 unfortunately shot up because the mom sent out the warning, 0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:33.440 but the cops they didn't know where they were going. 0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:35.920 Here's the eyewitness after the shooting happened. 0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:39.560 We were having lunch, and I heard at least a 0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:45.920 dozen shots. They sounded like from a semi automatic weapon. 0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.319 Okay, and then there was. 0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:54.080 A pause, and then another dozen shots, and again a 0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:59.000 pause and probably another dozen't so maybe I run thirty shots. 0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:04.440 That's what we heard. That's a lot. Then I call a. 0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:06.640 Nine to one one and. 0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:09.880 I'm sorry, you heard at least twenty four shots before 0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:12.640 you called nine one one. We don't know what that was. 0:35:12.920 --> 0:35:16.200 It might have been a firework, you know, more and 0:35:16.239 --> 0:35:18.560 more go off. He's like, at this point, I think 0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:21.359 it's a shootout, and a shootout it was because there 0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:25.680 was an armed security guard who was a hero at 0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:28.439 this Islamic center who started firing back. 0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:31.279 This could have been so much worse. It could have 0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:34.319 been so much worse. But the armed security guard at 0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:37.160 the Islamic center started firing back and the kids wholed 0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:40.360 ass and this guy was the one who was close bond. 0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:43.360 They asked me if I saw a car speeding away 0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:46.560 from the mosque, which I didn't because I was inside 0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:46.959 the house. 0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:49.520 Understandably, you didn't want to come outside. At that point, 0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:51.799 you could tell these were not firecrackers. This was not 0:35:51.920 --> 0:35:54.280 some college joke. This was a serious situation. 0:35:54.719 --> 0:36:01.440 Yes, definitely sounded like gunshots and we were concerned and 0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:03.520 putting our heads down inside of course. 0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:05.680 Yeah. So this is one of the witnesses as this 0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:07.360 happened in San Diego. 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:11.600 Again, two teenagers. You'll learn all the things over the 0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:13.480 next couple of days. You'll probably learn they were. 0:36:13.360 --> 0:36:15.040 Obsessed with school shootings. 0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:18.480 You'll probably learn, you know, a million different things about them. 0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:22.040 There's rumors galore right now, grain assault, all this stuff. 0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:23.640 I already see this stuff. It's like one of them 0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:28.200 was trans or whatever. I don't know, nobody knows. They 0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:30.640 have only released information about one of these kids who 0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:34.719 is on the wrestling team. And it does look like 0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:38.600 they had a gas can with them. They found them 0:36:38.600 --> 0:36:40.000 and they took their own lives, and there was like 0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:42.000 a gas can that was photographed by them. It looked 0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:44.480 like I had two SS bolts, you know, like the 0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:48.520 like the Naziss bolts on a gas can that was 0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:52.160 nearby them. So that's one thing that we've seen here 0:36:52.280 --> 0:36:55.120 is the police afterwards, Let's see what they had to say. 0:36:55.320 --> 0:37:01.719 Because of the Islamic centered complication, we are considering this 0:37:01.840 --> 0:37:05.399 a hate crime until it's not. And at this point, 0:37:05.400 --> 0:37:08.120 we're gonna work closely with the FBI to make sure 0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:10.439 that we are matching all the resources that we need 0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:11.400 this investigation. 0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:13.560 So is it because of the place that they targeted. 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:15.120 We're gonna look at this like it's some sort of 0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:19.640 hate crime because of their targeting of this particular facility 0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:20.200 until it's not. 0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:21.279 Until it's not. 0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:23.560 There's another thing I can't even play for you. The 0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:27.520 mayor of San Diego. I guess somebody hates the Mayor 0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:30.279 of San Diego. I don't know this guy. And the 0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:32.440 mayor of San Diego is giving a speech about this. 0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:36.120 Remember this is a mass shooting at like some Islamic center, 0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:40.200 And as the mayor is giving his speech, he's being 0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:44.920 heckled by somebody who's saying fu over and over to 0:37:45.000 --> 0:37:45.960 him in the background. 0:37:46.480 --> 0:37:50.759 And I'm going body time in place, like, if you 0:37:50.960 --> 0:37:53.720 hate the mayor and you want to heckle the mayor, 0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:57.560 by all means heckle the mayor. Part of the job 0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:00.240 is getting heckled by some people when you're there. 0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:03.600 You're somebody in charge like that. But if it's after 0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:05.920 a shooting, I can't play it because I think it's 0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:07.720 just gonna. I think we'll just hear the person cursing, 0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:12.840 so I'll skip that for now. Here's the Islamic Center director. 0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:15.160 This is the person in charge of this particular facility. 0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:17.160 Let's see what they had to say about this afternoon. 0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:20.560 My name is Staj Hassan. I'm the Emmam and director 0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:24.640 of the Islamic Center of San Diego. I know it's 0:38:24.800 --> 0:38:29.160 time of sorrow, time of sadness. We have never experienced 0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:35.200 a tragedy like this before, and at this moment, all 0:38:35.239 --> 0:38:40.640 what I can say is sending our prayers and standing 0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:45.719 in solidarity with all the families in our community here 0:38:47.080 --> 0:38:52.360 and also the other mosques and all the places of 0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:59.160 worship in our beautiful city should always be protected. It 0:38:59.320 --> 0:39:05.320 is true, oh, extremely outrageous to target a place of worship. 0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:07.200 Yeah, of course, I mean, and I think anybody with 0:39:07.200 --> 0:39:10.600 the brain agrees. Everybody, every saying individual is saying this 0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:13.719 is nut. So everybody with a brain knows what's going 0:39:13.760 --> 0:39:16.680 on here. These kids, to a point, doesn't matter who 0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:18.920 they are, doesn't matter what's going on. They're almost always 0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:23.760 radicalized online. They're radicalized on the internet. They find stuff online, 0:39:23.760 --> 0:39:26.640 they get obsessed over it. That's why as a parent, 0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:29.960 the best thing you can do, one hundred percent, the 0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:33.200 best thing you can do is spend time with your kid. 0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:36.399 Know what they're doing with their time, Know what they're 0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:39.879 interested in, what are they obsessing over. Don't be like, oh, 0:39:39.920 --> 0:39:42.719 today was nice. He just stayed in his room all day, 0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:46.680 didn't bother me at all. Meanwhile, he's reading every manifesto 0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:48.480 he can get his hands on. You know what I mean? 0:39:48.600 --> 0:39:50.000 Like this, This is what happens. 0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:53.279 They go online, they get radicalized every time. That is 0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:56.840 one of the biggest difference differences between the nineteen eighties 0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:59.440 when I was a very, very very young kid, and 0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:02.680 they were almost no school shootings, all right, almost no 0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:04.360 school shootings in the nineteen eighties. 0:40:04.360 --> 0:40:07.880 It was a very rare occurrence. And then now school 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:09.600 shootings and mass shootings and these kind of things have 0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:14.120 become much more commonplace. Why because people get radicalized online 0:40:14.160 --> 0:40:14.760 on the internet. 0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:18.320 Young kids get radicalized online on the internet. We probably 0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:20.600 have the same amount of guns we had then. Most 0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:21.000 stuff in. 0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:23.600 Culture is almost exactly the same. It was harder back 0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:25.880 in the eighties. You had to radicalize people in person. 0:40:26.200 --> 0:40:30.799 You did, yes, face to face radicalization legitimately you did. 0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:32.960 You didn't have some place to go to where people 0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:35.400 could go. Hey, we all agree, we're in this tiny 0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:38.080 little silo, and we radicalize people more and more and more. 0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:42.000 You got to know what your kid is doing, especially one. 0:40:42.160 --> 0:40:44.680 I was a father of eight. Are you serious? 0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:46.400 Jeez? That's insane. 0:40:46.760 --> 0:40:49.080 And if that guy wouldn't have stepped up, he lost 0:40:49.120 --> 0:40:51.520 his life, I believe right, and this he was one 0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:53.240 of the people people who died. 0:40:54.800 --> 0:40:57.440 Yeah, I mean I think that. I think that what. 0:40:57.520 --> 0:41:01.720 Happens here is these kids just end up falling down 0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:06.520 the rabbit holes one after another, and from there they 0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:09.680 end up getting radicalized. They end up in these silos, 0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:14.120 they end up with weirdos and antisocial kids online everywhere else, 0:41:14.719 --> 0:41:17.719 and it just pumps out people, pumps out people like this. 0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:21.120 It's unbelievable. Okay, Back in Sean's they had to read 0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:21.880 to be radicalized. 0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:23.600 That's true. Yeah, I mean the only thing you had 0:41:23.600 --> 0:41:24.000 back then. 0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:27.160 Was anarchist cookbook or something. You can read something like 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:30.040 that to to sort of get your riled up. But 0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:32.560 it just didn't happen. Now, I feel like, wasn't that 0:41:32.719 --> 0:41:37.600 just a bunch of different like recipes to make devices 0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:40.960 for free phone calls and bombs. Yeah one hundred now 0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:44.000 like but now, boy, can you find it all? And 0:41:44.040 --> 0:41:45.880 you can get radicalized by fast? 0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:46.880 Let us know what you think. 0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:48.919 Send us a dispatch over at the news Junkie dot 0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:53.720 com Thetnewsjunkie dot Com.

And as 0:42:44.080 --> 0:42:49.200 you're walking down a street, you see like a man hole, 0:42:49.560 --> 0:42:53.680 all right, or a sewer grade, either one of those things. 0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:58.000 Wearing pants, Oh, you see a man hole on the ground, 0:42:58.040 --> 0:43:00.440 you know, like the kind of New York City ninja 0:43:00.480 --> 0:43:03.200 turtles live under. If you see one of those, if 0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:06.200 you see a sewer grade or a manhole and it's 0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:10.399 right directly in your line of walking, do you go 0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:15.120 around it, jump over it, or simply walk right over 0:43:15.160 --> 0:43:18.439 the top of it. Probably walk over the top of it. Okay, Same, 0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:19.279 that's what I do. 0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:23.759 Cortney thinks I am a legitimate lunatic for doing this. 0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:26.200 I do it almost every day and it freaks her 0:43:26.239 --> 0:43:27.319 out every single time. 0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:29.399 Do you jump on it just to mess with her? 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:32.880 I did it in the last week, okay, where She'll go, 0:43:33.200 --> 0:43:34.200 don't do it this time. 0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:35.280 You gotta be careful. 0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:38.840 You're gonna fall through and you're gonna get really hurt Sean, 0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:41.400 And I'll go, oh, okay, I'm sorry, I don't I 0:43:41.440 --> 0:43:43.160 don't want to upset you like that. And then I'll 0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:45.799 run full speed and jump on it like you know, 0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:49.360 like a two year old or something, and she'd be like, 0:43:49.400 --> 0:43:50.560 it's gonna be the death of you. 0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:52.840 This is gonna be a problem. You're gonna do it. 0:43:52.880 --> 0:43:55.480 And I'll walk over the man holes at all all 0:43:55.520 --> 0:43:58.759 of these things, just just like it's no thread at all, 0:43:58.800 --> 0:44:00.799 because I don't think there's much of a thread from this, 0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:03.759 but then a story like this pop. So let me 0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:05.319 see if I can bring this up in front of 0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:07.319 me here. I knew kid growing up that was like 0:44:07.360 --> 0:44:10.240 afraid of those you're afraid of a like the manholes 0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:12.359 and the greats, and more so the sewer great than 0:44:12.400 --> 0:44:16.160 the man hole. I think that the the the fear 0:44:16.239 --> 0:44:19.160 of the sewer great is a lot more rational than 0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:22.759 the fear of a manhole. Wow, because you can see 0:44:22.840 --> 0:44:28.399 underneath it. Okay, for example, would you be somebody who 0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:31.879 uh would go to one of those high rises where 0:44:31.880 --> 0:44:34.480 they let you out on the ledge and kind of 0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:39.600 look over like the box in the Seer's tower, willis toweringly? No, 0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:42.799 not not willingly, I don't think so, right, because you 0:44:42.800 --> 0:44:44.960 can see down to the ground and it gives you 0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:48.040 that kind of you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, So I 0:44:48.360 --> 0:44:51.640 think it's a little more rational to be weary of 0:44:51.640 --> 0:44:55.680 the sewer great. Plus, and you know, I think that 0:44:55.800 --> 0:44:58.560 this is kind of a kind of a one in 0:44:58.760 --> 0:45:00.440 one in a thousand, not one of the a million 0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:03.680 things this happens, But I think it's kind of rare. 0:45:04.160 --> 0:45:07.239 There is a risk of dropping something in there, and 0:45:07.400 --> 0:45:10.600 you could, and usually it's something small but important, like 0:45:10.640 --> 0:45:14.560 your car keys and then ring sure, and then how 0:45:14.600 --> 0:45:16.680 are you gonna get that out? You can't just pull 0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:19.760 that thing off the ground. No, they're pretty heavy, I think. 0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:22.319 But Courtney always freaks out when I walk over the 0:45:22.320 --> 0:45:24.480 top of these things. I think most people do. I 0:45:24.520 --> 0:45:26.799 think I'm in the norm here. Maybe I'm not. Let 0:45:26.800 --> 0:45:29.800 me know, but the story from the Daily News says 0:45:30.120 --> 0:45:34.960 woman steps into open manhole in Midtown, Manhattan and falls 0:45:35.000 --> 0:45:37.680 to her death, Which is not going to be good 0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:40.560 for me, because she's gonna read this, She's gonna hear 0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:42.719 it on the show and go what the hell? A 0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:45.799 fifty six year old woman died after she fell into 0:45:45.840 --> 0:45:49.319 an open manhole in New York City. Con Edison said 0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:52.400 it wasn't clear why the utilities manhole wasn't covered during 0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:54.520 this eleven twenty pm incident. 0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:57.799 Maybe somebody was living down there. Remember there's people who 0:45:57.800 --> 0:46:00.560 live under the streets, lost. 0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:05.000 Into a gang of you know, karate crime fighting turtles. 0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:06.239 It could be right. 0:46:06.520 --> 0:46:09.440 The woman stepped out of her parked Mercedes Benz before 0:46:09.520 --> 0:46:12.720 stepping into the manhole. Only a moment later. Oh god, 0:46:13.239 --> 0:46:15.200 hang on, is there a report on this. Yeah, there 0:46:15.239 --> 0:46:18.400 is this woman stepped right out of her car to 0:46:18.480 --> 0:46:20.200 take on the day in the world of the night. 0:46:20.239 --> 0:46:22.839 In this case, here you go and let's see what 0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:25.040 they say happened here to this lady. 0:46:25.120 --> 0:46:28.960 Let's go back here here it is tragic. 0:46:29.480 --> 0:46:31.640 In Manhattan a woman died when she got out of 0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:34.560 her car and fell into an open manhole. 0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:36.880 You heard it right in Midtown? Why was it all? 0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:41.719 Oh God, look look her car Mercedes parked the road. 0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:47.480 She literally parked right by the manhole and stepped direct 0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:51.680 She was like getting out of her car right right 0:46:51.719 --> 0:46:57.520 in like in Mario when you go into the green tubes. Yeah, 0:46:57.680 --> 0:47:01.759 she stepped. It was literally she open her door and 0:47:01.800 --> 0:47:05.880 the manhole is immediately outside of her door. So this, 0:47:06.120 --> 0:47:07.920 like this would be the thing where Cordy goes, what 0:47:07.960 --> 0:47:10.080 are you doing, Sean? Why do you walk on these things? 0:47:10.080 --> 0:47:11.200 It's dangerous at least say. 0:47:11.200 --> 0:47:13.360 The fifty six year old victim is for Briarcliffe, Manor 0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:17.320 in Westchester County. She fell about ten feet after stepping 0:47:17.320 --> 0:47:19.960 out of her car near East fifty second Street and 0:47:20.040 --> 0:47:22.319 Fifth Avenue last night. I we stop right here for 0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:24.560 just a second. Do you think this is a common 0:47:24.600 --> 0:47:27.600 experience that if you fall in a manhole, it's like 0:47:27.640 --> 0:47:30.320 you fell in that it would go ten feet down. 0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:33.400 I mean, I think it really would depend on I 0:47:33.400 --> 0:47:37.319 think it would differ based on what sized pipes are 0:47:37.400 --> 0:47:40.719 underneath you. But this seems to be a main thoroughfare 0:47:41.000 --> 0:47:44.520 in Manhattan. What did it say, Midtown? Yeah, I guess 0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:46.840 like I was, like in our neighborhood, I wouldn't expect 0:47:46.840 --> 0:47:48.960 a manhole to go down ten feet. But maybe I 0:47:49.000 --> 0:47:51.879 wouldn't expect it in New York City either. I don't 0:47:51.880 --> 0:47:53.320 know here, listener, how. 0:47:53.200 --> 0:47:55.239 Connor Edison is investigating it all? 0:47:55.719 --> 0:47:58.640 Eyewitness news reporter Lindsay tch ma, she just stepped right 0:47:58.640 --> 0:48:00.080 into it. 0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:04.160 Family members of the victim were here earlier this morning, 0:48:04.239 --> 0:48:07.520 sharing hugs and tears and really telling us that they 0:48:07.560 --> 0:48:11.000 want answers after this nightmare of a situation. And now 0:48:11.040 --> 0:48:14.319 conn Edison is investigating how a woman fell into an 0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:16.200 open manhole plunging to her death. 0:48:16.280 --> 0:48:18.040 Well, I mean, we know how she did it. She 0:48:18.160 --> 0:48:19.680 just opened the door and it was right there, and 0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:22.319 she just fell straight down ten feet. What we want 0:48:22.360 --> 0:48:23.840 to know is why there wasn't a manhole? 0:48:24.160 --> 0:48:26.399 Is the manhole behind me here? It has since been 0:48:26.520 --> 0:48:29.680 covered since the accident occurred, but you could still see 0:48:30.080 --> 0:48:34.280 steam rising from several manholes on East fifty second Street 0:48:34.320 --> 0:48:37.680 here near Fifth Avenue, as well as emergency items left 0:48:37.719 --> 0:48:41.200 behind from the accident. According to police, it all happened 0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:44.239 just before eleven twenty pm last night. There was a 0:48:44.320 --> 0:48:48.160 very large emergency presence. Official say, a fifty six year 0:48:48.160 --> 0:48:52.040 old woman who was from Briarcliff, Manor driving from Mercedes 0:48:52.080 --> 0:48:55.120 Benz suv in the area and had just finished parking 0:48:55.200 --> 0:48:59.160 on fifty second Street. She fell an astonishing ten feet 0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:02.160 and she was rushed to the hospital after emergency crews 0:49:02.160 --> 0:49:04.399 were able to extricate her, but she was pronounced dead 0:49:04.400 --> 0:49:05.160 when she arrived. 0:49:05.360 --> 0:49:09.320 Jesus Man, Like, these are those things you just don't 0:49:09.400 --> 0:49:13.440 think about unless your courtiney. Apparently I just would. I 0:49:13.440 --> 0:49:15.279 would think this is never gonna happen, Like this is 0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:18.640 this is not a significant and serious risk. I literally 0:49:18.760 --> 0:49:23.319 jump on these things all the time safe when they're covered. Yeah, 0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:25.800 I hope, So, I hope. So it makes me question 0:49:25.920 --> 0:49:28.759 it right now. I wonder if for family has a case, 0:49:28.760 --> 0:49:30.840 it would seem like there's a case then Yeah, it 0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:33.400 seems like there would be because there's probably some criminal 0:49:33.440 --> 0:49:38.040 negligence there that has now led to a fatality. I 0:49:38.120 --> 0:49:42.359 think also, like I wonder how anybody knew she got 0:49:42.400 --> 0:49:44.719 down there, Like if nobody saw this, Like there's so 0:49:44.840 --> 0:49:49.120 much happening in New York City that you could have 0:49:49.200 --> 0:49:53.279 somebody fall down a manhole and not realize that that's true. Yeah, 0:49:53.400 --> 0:49:55.759 you might just be like, oh, okay, well she's screaming 0:49:55.880 --> 0:49:59.399 down there. Oh God, like you know, I'm down here, 0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:01.440 like still barely with it. 0:50:01.800 --> 0:50:04.760 Ten feet is crazy. And they said there was steam 0:50:04.840 --> 0:50:06.239 coming out, So is it pretty. 0:50:06.000 --> 0:50:08.480 Hot down there? I would imagine yeah, there's always steam 0:50:08.520 --> 0:50:11.640 coming from the grates and stuff down there, so it's like, 0:50:11.760 --> 0:50:15.080 you know, it's like a kind of stinky and musty. 0:50:15.520 --> 0:50:17.000 That's weird. I let us know what you think. Send 0:50:17.080 --> 0:50:18.960 us a dispatch over at the news junkie dot com. 0:50:18.960 --> 0:50:20.520 We'll get into those in a moment now. Tips of 0:50:20.560 --> 0:50:22.640 the news Junkie dot com. Somebody emails sub junkies on 0:50:22.680 --> 0:50:25.319 the e bike topic. For the past month or so, 0:50:25.360 --> 0:50:27.080 there's been a couple of reviews and new e bikes 0:50:27.080 --> 0:50:29.120 that are coming in. They have pedals on them and 0:50:29.120 --> 0:50:32.200 they're governed to only do twenty or something miles an hour, 0:50:32.520 --> 0:50:35.120 whatever the law is on most states or in most states. 0:50:35.400 --> 0:50:38.239 But it's also able to be unlocked, so you can 0:50:38.320 --> 0:50:40.120 unlock these e bikes, and that's what a lot of 0:50:40.120 --> 0:50:42.440 these kids are doing, this person says. And when you 0:50:42.520 --> 0:50:46.440 unlock them, they can go this is true. When you 0:50:46.520 --> 0:50:51.440 unlock them, they could go seventy miles an hour. I 0:50:51.520 --> 0:50:56.440 don't know about that. That seventy is is kind of crazy. 0:50:57.200 --> 0:50:59.799 These Chinese manufacturers have caught on to what's going on 0:50:59.760 --> 0:51:04.080 in basically made a sleeper e bike that kids can unlock. 0:51:04.200 --> 0:51:06.120 He said, what were we gonna say? Sin Oh, I'm 0:51:06.200 --> 0:51:10.239 talking about the band whole thing. We came upon an 0:51:10.320 --> 0:51:16.879 open hole downtown one time, remember after Secret shows. Yes 0:51:17.080 --> 0:51:20.000 we did, Yeah, but literally a hole end of the ground. 0:51:20.040 --> 0:51:22.640 We could look at it. It wasn't like sewer size 0:51:22.680 --> 0:51:24.440 it was. I mean, it was definitely you could have 0:51:24.480 --> 0:51:27.399 fallen into it. It was big enough to fall into. And 0:51:27.680 --> 0:51:29.879 I don't know if it was ten feet because ten 0:51:29.880 --> 0:51:33.320 feet seems like a lot, especially where we live. Yeah, 0:51:33.360 --> 0:51:36.920 but it definitely looked like if we hadn't seen it, 0:51:37.200 --> 0:51:39.960 I don't remember there being any sort of like cone 0:51:40.040 --> 0:51:42.120 or warning next to it, but it looked like if 0:51:42.160 --> 0:51:45.239 we hadn't seen it, it could have messed you up 0:51:45.360 --> 0:51:49.840 really bad that fall, just hitting the sides or hitting 0:51:49.840 --> 0:51:51.440 something on the way down. I mean, it would have 0:51:51.440 --> 0:51:54.600 been not good for whoever could have fallen in there. 0:51:54.920 --> 0:51:57.600 And people were drunk walking around at that time. I 0:51:57.640 --> 0:52:01.360 remember it was right outside the pizza place that people 0:52:01.400 --> 0:52:04.600 go to at the end of the night when they're wasted. 0:52:05.080 --> 0:52:08.279 Exactly all right, a couple of dispatches real quick, let's 0:52:08.320 --> 0:52:13.280 work those in. Here's Chris talking about man holes. 0:52:14.120 --> 0:52:18.320 Hey junkies, Hey bloomber man, local lawyer and Bavard County. 0:52:18.440 --> 0:52:23.719 There's manholes over here. They're over twenty foot deep. Who really, shaw? 0:52:23.800 --> 0:52:25.880 I jump them down them all day long. But you know, 0:52:26.120 --> 0:52:27.920 one guy, just don't put it in quite right, and 0:52:28.000 --> 0:52:30.840 watch out crash and burn at the bottom of the 0:52:30.840 --> 0:52:35.120 poop hole. What great day. He says, twenty feet down. 0:52:35.239 --> 0:52:38.960 For some of those that soundsing a lot, but more 0:52:39.000 --> 0:52:41.200 people are saying that, here's blonde. 0:52:42.440 --> 0:52:46.719 So man holes can go anywhere from ten to even 0:52:46.760 --> 0:52:49.080 twenty feet. It just depends on the neck of the 0:52:49.719 --> 0:52:53.680 of the manhole and how deep the actual man hole is. 0:52:54.680 --> 0:52:57.439 And hopefully there was some water and then the break 0:52:57.520 --> 0:53:00.200 or fall. But if not that, that's gotta hurt. 0:53:00.239 --> 0:53:03.359 How much water yeah, I mean yeah, how much could 0:53:03.360 --> 0:53:05.759 have possibly been in there wouldn't have been enough, and 0:53:05.840 --> 0:53:06.520 clearly it wasn't. 0:53:06.560 --> 0:53:08.520 She died. I mean, the lady did not survive any 0:53:08.600 --> 0:53:15.680 of this. Uh here is let's go over to doctor Rob, 0:53:15.800 --> 0:53:17.280 who says you're not special. 0:53:17.320 --> 0:53:22.320 Good morning, junkies. It seems like the world is getting 0:53:22.440 --> 0:53:25.640 crazier and crazier. Kids don't think there are any consequences. 0:53:25.680 --> 0:53:29.640 Now we have old codgers thinking that they don't have consequences. 0:53:29.719 --> 0:53:32.879 Everybody thinks they're a little more important than what they are. 0:53:33.360 --> 0:53:35.040 We just all need to chill and do. 0:53:35.120 --> 0:53:38.080 A little bit of that sweet sweet cocaine. 0:53:38.239 --> 0:53:39.759 I don't know if that's going to fix it, sir, 0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:42.719 Thank you. I know that you're a doctor. Doesn't seem 0:53:42.760 --> 0:53:44.200 to make people that chill. 0:53:44.800 --> 0:53:48.680 No, that has the opposite effect sometimes, and if you 0:53:48.719 --> 0:53:50.960 do enough of it, you might be searching for manholes 0:53:51.000 --> 0:53:53.400 to go down or people to shoot for that matter. 0:53:54.280 --> 0:53:55.960 I'm not sure if this is going to fix anything 0:53:55.960 --> 0:53:58.440 for us, but we appreciate the dispatch none the lesson. 0:53:58.520 --> 0:54:01.839 We await yours friend over at the Newsjunkie dot com 0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:05.640 Thenewschunkie dot com. Chris emails tips at the news Junki 0:54:05.680 --> 0:54:08.120 dot com and says, when I first met my wife, 0:54:08.480 --> 0:54:09.960 she used to go out of her way to not 0:54:10.160 --> 0:54:13.080 walk on a manhole cover or on grats. When I 0:54:13.120 --> 0:54:15.120 finally asked her about it, she told me when she 0:54:15.200 --> 0:54:18.480 was younger, her dad fell into one just walking over it. 0:54:18.920 --> 0:54:21.279 Luckily he wasn't hurt too bad, but it scarred her 0:54:21.280 --> 0:54:24.759 for life, and she won't walk over one even to 0:54:24.840 --> 0:54:27.960 this day. That didn't even happen to Courtney. She's got 0:54:28.000 --> 0:54:30.920 no reason. She's like, you are risking life and limb. 0:54:31.520 --> 0:54:33.760 It's my only way to seem like I'm an outlaw 0:54:34.160 --> 0:54:38.000 around Courtney, or like to seem like I'm a wild daredevil. 0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:42.560 So I'll go look at this manhole. I'm standing on 0:54:42.600 --> 0:54:45.720 it like I don't even care about my life right now. 0:54:46.600 --> 0:54:49.200 So I think that's kind of what keeps her excited 0:54:49.239 --> 0:54:51.280 around here. If you were wonder, she thinks. 0:54:51.040 --> 0:54:53.239 Her last words gould be like, look everything is, oh, 0:54:53.280 --> 0:54:59.840 come twenty feet down. If I do that, everybody should 0:54:59.840 --> 0:55:02.200 just leave me down there. That's where I deserve to 0:55:02.200 --> 0:55:05.160 be in the sewers. Anyways, that's where I deserve to 0:55:05.280 --> 0:55:08.680 lay rest for the rest of days. Oh, I don't 0:55:08.719 --> 0:55:11.240 even bring you up your dead body to bury it somewhere, 0:55:11.239 --> 0:55:13.600 and just no, just leave me down there. Just leave 0:55:13.640 --> 0:55:17.720 me down there a cat butthole. Ask Tnjai or internal 0:55:17.760 --> 0:55:21.360 ai how many people are killed annually by falling through manholes? 0:55:21.719 --> 0:55:25.680 Specific global statistics on desks from falling into manholes are scarce, 0:55:25.760 --> 0:55:28.880 Tnjai says. In the US, data from nineteen ninety two 0:55:28.880 --> 0:55:31.520 to nineteen ninety eight indicates an average of sixty one 0:55:31.640 --> 0:55:36.680 worker fatalities annually due to falls through roof and floor openings, 0:55:36.719 --> 0:55:39.680 which would include man holes. Yeah, I would think it's 0:55:39.719 --> 0:55:41.799 pretty rare. I would, But I want to know, do 0:55:41.840 --> 0:55:44.879 you walk around those? Do you do? You go right 0:55:44.920 --> 0:55:48.240 over them like I do. This is a freak accident, 0:55:48.280 --> 0:55:50.319 But does it change anything about the way you think 0:55:50.320 --> 0:55:51.120 about this? Let us know. 0:55:51.200 --> 0:55:54.160 Sent us a dispatch at the Newsjunkie dot com. When 0:55:54.160 --> 0:55:56.799 we come back, I'm just gonna say it.

Yeah, we are on a 0:57:45.920 --> 0:57:53.280 plane again. Unfortunately, maybe fortunately Sea Land censored this audio 0:57:53.680 --> 0:57:55.960 of a guy. This guy reminded me of the. 0:57:55.840 --> 0:58:01.479 Manifest destiny or uh, now that you've said it wrong, 0:58:01.520 --> 0:58:06.360 it's messing me up.

Yeah, you you do have a problem, 1:00:57.880 --> 1:01:01.080 like right now, like there's a problem right and I 1:01:01.080 --> 1:01:03.800 don't know if you're understanding this. We're in the middle 1:01:03.800 --> 1:01:07.280 of a problem. I didn't really understand this. This phrase 1:01:07.320 --> 1:01:10.600 the guy used. He said, you're behaving like a too 1:01:10.680 --> 1:01:16.120 Bob watch. And it's a classic British or Australian slang 1:01:16.280 --> 1:01:20.600 slang term to describe something that is cheap, common, or 1:01:20.640 --> 1:01:23.880 of such poor quality that it is virtually worthless. Like 1:01:23.960 --> 1:01:27.280 a too too bob would mean like two shilling's okay, 1:01:27.560 --> 1:01:30.880 and since I was, he's a junk, very small and 1:01:30.920 --> 1:01:33.080 trivial amount of money. A to Bob watch would be 1:01:33.120 --> 1:01:37.440 a cheap, mass produced time piece. I don't know how 1:01:37.600 --> 1:01:43.080 behaving like a tou bob watch. Okay behavior, but sure 1:01:43.680 --> 1:01:53.080 he's drunk. He's behaving like a tubob watch. There he 1:01:53.160 --> 1:01:56.760 goes the plant. The planeted up landing in Tahiti. That's 1:01:56.760 --> 1:01:57.600 where they were going. 1:01:57.760 --> 1:02:01.600 Oh my goodness, yeah, they're going into I guess they 1:02:01.680 --> 1:02:04.200 shoveled the guy right out of there at the end 1:02:04.200 --> 1:02:07.160 of this. You can't do this, Oh god, I do 1:02:07.280 --> 1:02:09.920 love that you're so drunk that you go, I just 1:02:09.960 --> 1:02:13.480 going out for a cigarette. That would be the best 1:02:13.520 --> 1:02:17.280 thing ever if they actually added a little. 1:02:17.240 --> 1:02:20.320 Escape patch on these planes. So then when people are 1:02:20.440 --> 1:02:23.720 that drunk, they get that drunk on these flights and 1:02:23.760 --> 1:02:25.160 they go, I just get to go out and have 1:02:25.200 --> 1:02:29.920 a cigarette. You go, okay, fine, go ahead, go out 1:02:29.960 --> 1:02:32.440 and have a cigarette out the side of the plane. 1:02:33.200 --> 1:02:36.560 Ain't gonna happen again. Two or three people get zoomed 1:02:36.560 --> 1:02:39.240 out and zooted out of the plane. It'll stop happening 1:02:39.320 --> 1:02:40.080 real quick. 1:02:40.400 --> 1:02:42.480 People drinking too much on these flights because they'll go, 1:02:42.480 --> 1:02:44.720 I don't want to get drunk on this flight. I 1:02:44.760 --> 1:02:47.120 don't say drunk on the flight. I'll end up falling 1:02:47.120 --> 1:02:49.480 out at five miles an hour dropping down to Earth. 1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:52.000 Do you think he intended on lighting the cigarette in 1:02:52.160 --> 1:02:56.080 the plane bathroom or was that just something he said 1:02:56.120 --> 1:03:01.040 And because he was just hammered and talking nonsensically, I literally. 1:03:00.680 --> 1:03:02.680 Don't think he knew he was on a plane because 1:03:02.720 --> 1:03:05.680 the guy said earlier, you have to behave when we're 1:03:05.760 --> 1:03:07.320 up in the air like this, and he goes, we're 1:03:07.400 --> 1:03:11.800 up in the air, He's like, wait, how do you But. 1:03:11.800 --> 1:03:13.800 Dude, if he was that drunk and he had a 1:03:13.800 --> 1:03:17.040 pack of cigarettes in his pocket, sometimes drunk people just 1:03:17.080 --> 1:03:19.280 like whip one out and forget that they're not supposed 1:03:19.320 --> 1:03:24.080 to do it. Yeah. There. The one that stands out 1:03:24.120 --> 1:03:26.680 in my head the most was I was in high 1:03:26.720 --> 1:03:29.720 school were we were I was in marching band in 1:03:29.760 --> 1:03:32.760 high school, obviously, and we were at one of the 1:03:32.760 --> 1:03:35.560 football games and we were kind of lining everything up, 1:03:35.600 --> 1:03:39.400 getting ready to do the halftime show at the football game. 1:03:40.040 --> 1:03:42.400 And one of the guys that was in the drum 1:03:42.480 --> 1:03:45.160 section with me, his dad was there and his dad 1:03:45.280 --> 1:03:48.920 was hammered. Oh god, yeah, his dad. His dad liked 1:03:48.960 --> 1:03:52.360 to tip him back, right, And so we're sitting there 1:03:52.400 --> 1:03:55.000 and so the you know, like a lot of these 1:03:55.120 --> 1:04:00.000 stadiums at high schools, the football field is surrounded by 1:04:00.160 --> 1:04:02.600 the track where you would run track like track and 1:04:02.600 --> 1:04:05.280 field track. And so we're getting everything ready on the 1:04:05.320 --> 1:04:09.400 track and homeboy's dad just lights up a cigarette and 1:04:10.120 --> 1:04:17.160 I was like, hey, buddy, you smoking And his reaction 1:04:18.800 --> 1:04:23.360 was to offer me one.

Okay, good, You're gonna 1:04:51.600 --> 1:04:54.000 need it because if you had this, I've seen a 1:04:54.000 --> 1:04:55.120 lot of discussion around. 1:04:55.840 --> 1:04:58.920 Have you ever had a friend who just completely changed 1:04:58.920 --> 1:05:02.000 their look up in and didn't say anything about it? 1:05:02.920 --> 1:05:04.800 You know what I mean, Like, like all of a sudden, 1:05:05.080 --> 1:05:08.040 they always dress one way, they always have one sort 1:05:08.040 --> 1:05:11.520 of style, and then they totally change their look up 1:05:11.840 --> 1:05:14.560 and they pop around and like, what huh huh, oh no, 1:05:14.640 --> 1:05:16.920 b No, I've always I always do this. 1:05:17.080 --> 1:05:20.160 I always said, this is what's happening to all of 1:05:20.240 --> 1:05:26.320 us collectively with John Travolta right now. Because John Travolta 1:05:26.400 --> 1:05:28.560 keeps popping up in these stories. I don't know if 1:05:28.560 --> 1:05:29.600 he addresses it here or not. 1:05:30.240 --> 1:05:33.320 And here he is, he keeps popping up in stories, 1:05:33.360 --> 1:05:37.200 and now he looks like a French artist or something. 1:05:38.160 --> 1:05:42.840 He's wearing a beret. A beret. Is that a beret? Yeah, 1:05:42.920 --> 1:05:45.360 he's got a beret on, you know, because he's bald 1:05:45.360 --> 1:05:46.960 and he doesn't want to just be bald headed for 1:05:47.000 --> 1:05:50.160 whatever reason, because you know, the movie Grease made him 1:05:50.160 --> 1:05:52.160 feel like he always needs to look like that or something. 1:05:52.360 --> 1:05:55.400 But John Travolta now is like this little artiste looking 1:05:55.440 --> 1:05:59.080 man with a beret, and we have to address this. 1:05:59.160 --> 1:06:01.000 You can't just switch up your look. I know you've 1:06:01.000 --> 1:06:02.560 had friends who have done this. All of a sudden, 1:06:02.600 --> 1:06:04.840 they're coming in. You're like, your whole style has changed. 1:06:04.840 --> 1:06:07.040 What's going on here? I mean, there's been a couple 1:06:07.080 --> 1:06:10.400 of hats that I've had that have been outside the norm, 1:06:10.840 --> 1:06:13.320 and I would continue to wear them if I could 1:06:13.320 --> 1:06:16.640 just find ones that could fit my gigantic head. Well. 1:06:17.280 --> 1:06:19.800 But I don't think it was like a complete change. 1:06:20.280 --> 1:06:22.600 I'm trying to think of any friends would have done this. 1:06:22.960 --> 1:06:25.160 If you wore this and you wantered into the show, 1:06:25.240 --> 1:06:28.160 everybody'd be like, see, you ain't wearing a beret right now, 1:06:28.400 --> 1:06:29.720 what the hell is happening. 1:06:31.280 --> 1:06:34.040 The old school directors wore berets, and I said, and 1:06:34.080 --> 1:06:36.640 the glasses, and I thought, that's what I'm doing. I've 1:06:36.640 --> 1:06:39.240 been around for over fifty years doing movies. 1:06:39.640 --> 1:06:44.760 But on the difference between the events, Yeah, he's wearing 1:06:44.760 --> 1:06:47.920 it the con, the movie festival, so he's dressing a 1:06:47.920 --> 1:06:52.160 little more French to fit in with the other. I 1:06:52.200 --> 1:06:54.200 think he's leaning into it. I think he's doing it 1:06:54.240 --> 1:06:57.240 after Con too. I think that now this is his look. 1:06:57.320 --> 1:06:59.320 John Travolta is rocking the lisson. 1:06:59.360 --> 1:07:02.960 I'm a direct a time, you're an actor, play the 1:07:03.000 --> 1:07:06.040 part of a director, look like an old schooler. So 1:07:06.080 --> 1:07:09.920 I looked at pictures twenties, thirties, forties, fifty sixties. 1:07:09.680 --> 1:07:12.320 And the old school directors wore berets, and that's funny, 1:07:12.440 --> 1:07:15.760 what a weird thing like I'm a director now, So 1:07:15.880 --> 1:07:18.760 I googled what directors are supposed to look like. And 1:07:18.840 --> 1:07:23.160 I modeled myself after what I found. But imagine if 1:07:23.160 --> 1:07:27.120 I looked up everyone, I'm like radio host outfit, and 1:07:27.160 --> 1:07:30.000 then I wore that every day, and I'm like, what 1:07:30.440 --> 1:07:33.800 the reason I wore this today, everybody is because I 1:07:33.880 --> 1:07:37.600 googled a radio host outfit and that's why I have 1:07:37.640 --> 1:07:39.400 my berea in the glasses. 1:07:39.440 --> 1:07:41.600 And I thought, that's what I'm doing. I'm going to 1:07:41.680 --> 1:07:44.880 do an homage to being a director. So I'm going 1:07:44.920 --> 1:07:47.120 to play the part of being a director. And then 1:07:47.120 --> 1:07:49.640 when I look back, I'll know, Oh, that was Propeller 1:07:49.680 --> 1:07:51.840 one way night coach, that was can That's when I 1:07:51.840 --> 1:07:52.640 won the Palm d'Or. 1:07:53.200 --> 1:07:58.960 And I'll have vividness of it, Yeah, vividness. Who doesn't 1:07:59.000 --> 1:08:01.320 talk this way? When I look back on it, I'll 1:08:01.360 --> 1:08:05.960 have a vividness. Vividness. You sure will, Buddy. Just rock 1:08:06.040 --> 1:08:09.600 your dome. You're a good looking guy. Still, you're frigging 1:08:09.760 --> 1:08:13.400 John Travolta. Just rock it out. You got your whole 1:08:13.440 --> 1:08:16.599 head shade, you got a beard rocking in. You're cool. 1:08:17.560 --> 1:08:20.679 I dig it, go for it. Maybe the beret. Maybe 1:08:20.680 --> 1:08:22.840 the moral of the story is John Travolta could do 1:08:22.920 --> 1:08:27.240 whatever he wants to wear. The berets. John Travolta ain't 1:08:27.280 --> 1:08:29.080 no Sean Travolta. That's sure. 1:08:29.439 --> 1:08:32.759 No, I come in here with a beret. The audience 1:08:32.840 --> 1:08:34.479 numbers drop like a rock. 1:08:34.600 --> 1:08:38.479 People go. I used to listen to him until the 1:08:38.479 --> 1:08:41.120 beret thing, and that was just a bridge too far. 1:08:41.280 --> 1:08:43.000 Couldn't do it. Trying to think if I have a 1:08:43.040 --> 1:08:46.000 friend that's done anything like this, I'm sure people have 1:08:46.080 --> 1:08:46.360 had that. 1:08:46.400 --> 1:08:48.680 Like let us know on a dispatcher an email, if 1:08:48.720 --> 1:08:50.519 you've ever had a friend who all of a sudden 1:08:50.560 --> 1:08:52.120 did a style change and they just show up and 1:08:52.120 --> 1:08:52.559 they're like, what. 1:08:53.040 --> 1:08:55.640 It's making me nervous because you know when they say, like, 1:08:56.200 --> 1:08:58.280 if you think you don't have an annoying friend, you're 1:08:58.320 --> 1:09:02.640 the annoying friend. Like I would tell you doesn't have 1:09:02.680 --> 1:09:05.360 a Travis, You're the Travis. You know you're not the 1:09:05.439 --> 1:09:07.760 Travis I would tell you. And I feel like this 1:09:07.840 --> 1:09:09.439 is the same thing, Like I can't think of a 1:09:09.479 --> 1:09:13.360 friend who's adopted a goofy look, so I probably it's 1:09:13.400 --> 1:09:15.719 probably been me when I went through my Fedora phase 1:09:15.920 --> 1:09:20.040 or that train hat.

The hot sheet, Yeah, 1:11:04.720 --> 1:11:09.160 we can can do that forever, future proofing that it's fine. Absolutely, 1:11:09.840 --> 1:11:24.200 the hot sheet coming up next to the news junkie. 1:11:28.640 --> 1:11:31.600 This is real. This is actually a real update to 1:11:31.640 --> 1:11:35.320 a story we've been following, thanks to M D Dixon 1:11:35.800 --> 1:11:39.040 on Twitter who says, hey, Sean, I know you're keeping 1:11:39.120 --> 1:11:41.960 up with this story, and he sends over a link 1:11:41.960 --> 1:11:44.120 and I said, no, I don't know if that's true 1:11:44.240 --> 1:11:49.200 or not, but it is. Remember the guy who was 1:11:49.560 --> 1:11:52.679 hitting on the young girl at that Board of education 1:11:52.800 --> 1:11:55.960 meeting and he's like, oh, you're hot. Yeah, and where 1:11:56.000 --> 1:11:58.800 do you go to school? He goes, you're hot, where 1:11:58.800 --> 1:12:02.400 do you go to school? And then she confronted him afterwards. 1:12:02.400 --> 1:12:06.240 First she does this rant against the local government and 1:12:06.280 --> 1:12:09.479 they weren't doing things right and they weren't being they 1:12:09.479 --> 1:12:12.519 weren't serving the public good like they should. And then 1:12:12.560 --> 1:12:16.599 after she finishes her rant, he says to her this 1:12:16.640 --> 1:12:21.559 old guy on the board, Keith Irvin. Keith goes, oh, man, 1:12:21.640 --> 1:12:24.680 you are hot. Where do you go to school? And 1:12:24.720 --> 1:12:29.680 then she confronts him afterwards. Is later on, like a 1:12:29.720 --> 1:12:32.200 week or so had passed and the story had gone viral. 1:12:32.439 --> 1:12:34.280 She goes back to the school board, this is the 1:12:34.360 --> 1:12:37.000 last we visited them, and she just lit them up. 1:12:37.240 --> 1:12:39.759 She lit them up. You know, they had people, I guess, 1:12:39.800 --> 1:12:42.439 all meeting along that were saying this is disgusting, this 1:12:42.479 --> 1:12:45.200 is creepy, why are you doing this? Etcetera, etcetera. Right, 1:12:46.000 --> 1:12:48.920 so she goes, what you did is disgusting. 1:12:49.080 --> 1:12:52.080 The idea that you're not losing your position is even 1:12:52.080 --> 1:12:55.120 more disgusting. All these people are standing around doing nothing 1:12:55.160 --> 1:12:59.360 about it. He's been charged with assault for it. 1:13:00.120 --> 1:13:03.960 He's now been charged with a salt This young girl, 1:13:04.120 --> 1:13:07.679 he called her hot. She's a teenage girl. Young teenage girl. 1:13:08.400 --> 1:13:11.439 She was at this meeting, it says Keith Irvin, the 1:13:11.560 --> 1:13:13.800 Washington County Board of Education member who referred to a 1:13:13.840 --> 1:13:15.920 student is hot during a meeting at April, has been 1:13:16.040 --> 1:13:17.560 charged with assault. 1:13:17.280 --> 1:13:20.000 Because he put his hand on her right on her shoulder. Yeah. 1:13:20.080 --> 1:13:22.559 I guess so, just like unwanted putting the hand on 1:13:22.600 --> 1:13:24.479 the shoulder. That seems like it's gonna be a tough 1:13:24.479 --> 1:13:26.360 one to stick. Let's see what the story says. Hang 1:13:26.360 --> 1:13:28.280 on real quick, before the hot sheet. Let's see what 1:13:28.360 --> 1:13:29.040 they say about this. 1:13:29.200 --> 1:13:31.320 Board member, Keith Irvan is facing a charge of a 1:13:31.439 --> 1:13:34.920 salt physical contact. That's according to online records. It's breaking 1:13:34.960 --> 1:13:36.760 news this afternoon. Thank you for joining us on. 1:13:36.880 --> 1:13:43.600 Brody Wilson, you're welcome. Brady, Hey, you got yourright. 1:13:45.360 --> 1:13:48.240 That charge is allegedly in reference to that video from 1:13:48.280 --> 1:13:51.519 an April second school board meeting gain Traction online, but 1:13:51.520 --> 1:13:54.879 Irvin says it lacks context. On May eleventh, the presentment 1:13:55.000 --> 1:13:57.400 stating that a grand jury has found enough cause to 1:13:57.520 --> 1:13:59.439 charge herven with a salt physical contact. 1:13:59.640 --> 1:13:59.920 Wow. 1:14:00.000 --> 1:14:02.040 Wow, we've reached out to him, but have not yet 1:14:02.080 --> 1:14:05.480 heard back. In a statement today, Washington County School Superintendent 1:14:05.560 --> 1:14:09.120 Jerry Boyd said, quote, the board reiterates that mister Irvin's 1:14:09.120 --> 1:14:12.160 actions do not reflect the standards, policies, or values of 1:14:12.240 --> 1:14:15.320 the school district. Under Tennessee law, school board members are 1:14:15.360 --> 1:14:19.360 independently elected officials, so the board lacks the statutory authority 1:14:19.400 --> 1:14:21.799 to remove a sitting member from office. 1:14:21.960 --> 1:14:24.679 So they would remove them. It sounds like they would 1:14:24.760 --> 1:14:26.840 remove them from the board too, but they can't. They're 1:14:26.880 --> 1:14:28.240 not actually able to do it. 1:14:28.640 --> 1:14:32.320 But he has been naged by a grand jury with 1:14:32.479 --> 1:14:36.519 assault and now he's facing the assault for the incident. The 1:14:36.600 --> 1:14:38.920 father of the student shared the family's thoughts public on 1:14:38.960 --> 1:14:42.400 social media, saying Irvin should not be anywhere near students 1:14:42.400 --> 1:14:44.679 and calling the lack of action by other board members 1:14:44.760 --> 1:14:48.280 equally disturbing. She addressed them on May seventh. We talked 1:14:48.280 --> 1:14:49.960 about that like a week or so ago. 1:14:50.400 --> 1:14:53.160 She said it was not only unwelcome, but sexist in derogatory, 1:14:53.760 --> 1:14:55.680 and he was previously centered in two thousand and nine, 1:14:55.680 --> 1:14:58.799 after reportedly making a lewde gesture of a sexual nature 1:14:58.800 --> 1:15:00.639 in front of a class at a high school. What 1:15:00.640 --> 1:15:02.800 what did he do with that. I didn't I don't 1:15:02.840 --> 1:15:06.280 remember hearing that part of it. He made a lude gesture, 1:15:06.920 --> 1:15:10.479 loud juvenile gesture. A student made a comment about this, 1:15:11.240 --> 1:15:13.840 or a student made a comment about the student's current job, 1:15:14.120 --> 1:15:17.080 saying he was earning eight dollars an hour. Mister Irvin 1:15:17.120 --> 1:15:21.160 then made a lude juvenile gesture of a sexual nature. Uh, well, 1:15:21.160 --> 1:15:25.960 what did he do well with gestures? The gestures that 1:15:26.000 --> 1:15:28.320 you know. I'll look into this right now. We got 1:15:28.360 --> 1:15:31.440 to get to it. Let's let's do the hot sheet. 1:15:31.560 --> 1:15:36.240 It's in new news, but not like real important news. 1:15:36.080 --> 1:15:38.559 That's again, every parting on the planet book.

But this 1:15:51.880 --> 1:15:53.680 first one is kind of sad for fans of the 1:15:53.680 --> 1:15:57.400 Powerpuff Girls and some of the Star Wars fans will 1:15:57.400 --> 1:16:00.639 know the name Tom Kine who has died Its sixty four. 1:16:01.640 --> 1:16:04.240 Tom Kane was the voice actor best known for his 1:16:04.320 --> 1:16:06.519 work on Star Wars. He did some of the animated 1:16:06.600 --> 1:16:09.559 series where he voiced yoga, and I think some of 1:16:09.560 --> 1:16:14.720 the later movies did I say yoga, Yoda, Yoda. That 1:16:14.800 --> 1:16:16.439 sounds like a mistake. I would make it the Star 1:16:16.479 --> 1:16:19.800 Wars Now, I can't believe you got yoga and you 1:16:19.880 --> 1:16:24.000 got this C two pp po guy hanging out. He 1:16:24.680 --> 1:16:28.080 did Yoda in Star Wars, the Clone Wars feature film 1:16:28.080 --> 1:16:32.240 and TV series. Lent his voice to Professor Utonium in 1:16:32.280 --> 1:16:35.400 The Powerpuff Girls. If you were a fan, you knew him. 1:16:35.400 --> 1:16:37.640 He was a devoted husband and father who, alongside with 1:16:37.720 --> 1:16:41.880 his wife, built a loving family of nine children. Oh 1:16:41.920 --> 1:16:46.480 my god, one more than three biological and six welcomed 1:16:46.800 --> 1:16:49.680 through adoption and fostering. He's dead at the age of 1:16:49.920 --> 1:16:54.760 sixty four. Carson Daly has spelled out some things that 1:16:54.920 --> 1:16:58.599 he would prefer not happen for his kids in their 1:16:58.680 --> 1:17:02.840 dating universe. Nothing too crazy. He would just rather there 1:17:02.880 --> 1:17:07.840 not be any vegans. Oh really, okay, all right. I 1:17:07.840 --> 1:17:09.479 never heard a parent say that I don't want my 1:17:09.560 --> 1:17:12.080 child to date a vegan, but I'm all years. During 1:17:12.080 --> 1:17:14.960 a chat with co host Jenna Bush Hagar or Hagar, 1:17:15.760 --> 1:17:17.920 he said he has one request for his children when 1:17:17.920 --> 1:17:19.960 they start dating. The only reservation I would have for 1:17:20.040 --> 1:17:23.200 my kids would be like a vegan or something like that, 1:17:23.800 --> 1:17:25.679 to which he got a lot of laughter. He said, 1:17:25.720 --> 1:17:28.879 food is a really important part of like the fabric 1:17:28.960 --> 1:17:31.559 of our family. If we didn't have food, I wouldn't 1:17:31.560 --> 1:17:33.799 talk to my wife about anything. It holds us together. 1:17:33.880 --> 1:17:36.000 So if one of them brought home a date who 1:17:36.040 --> 1:17:39.519 was super picky, like I don't eat anything, fish from 1:17:39.520 --> 1:17:44.439 the sea, cowsdkomu like I've got a tragger bro referring 1:17:44.479 --> 1:17:45.280 to his smoker. 1:17:47.520 --> 1:17:50.920 Okay, all right, I mean I guess that's impressive in 1:17:50.960 --> 1:17:51.719 some circles. 1:17:51.800 --> 1:17:54.400 I said, enough about it. I'm just saying it would suck. 1:17:54.400 --> 1:17:56.040 If they came to the house on a Sunday, we 1:17:56.080 --> 1:17:58.960 were doing like a big you know, daily feast and 1:17:59.080 --> 1:18:01.840 the daily family they make pizzas, and they had some 1:18:01.960 --> 1:18:05.600 girlfriend or boyfriend that says I can't eat anything. I 1:18:05.640 --> 1:18:07.679 would be like, he's a loser. Dump him. 1:18:07.880 --> 1:18:11.040 Although I have heard you will brag about your big 1:18:11.080 --> 1:18:14.560 black rock thing or whatever it is, blackstone, the blackstone. 1:18:15.520 --> 1:18:17.920 Your blackstone is something that people be like, I got 1:18:17.960 --> 1:18:18.519 a blackstone. 1:18:18.560 --> 1:18:21.599 I'm so bought you last night. It was a good time. 1:18:21.960 --> 1:18:27.000 Good glad I didn't stumble over my delivery of that. 1:18:27.040 --> 1:18:32.400 By the way, why Big Blackrock troublesome spot worse so 1:18:32.479 --> 1:18:36.040 than Yogi. For sure, this story was funny to me 1:18:36.160 --> 1:18:39.400 just because the person that is in it is known 1:18:39.479 --> 1:18:44.960 for playing a character that is so vanilla, I would say. 1:18:45.479 --> 1:18:48.040 But three years after Bonnie Bartlett said she once had 1:18:48.040 --> 1:18:51.120 an open marriage with husband, William Daniels, the actress is 1:18:51.120 --> 1:18:54.599 clarifying what really happened during that lifetime. Now William Daniels, 1:18:54.600 --> 1:18:57.160 who is ninety nine years old, Oh my god, that 1:18:57.280 --> 1:18:59.760 name might not sound familiar to you, but you would 1:18:59.800 --> 1:19:03.439 want one hundred percent know his character, mister feene the 1:19:03.479 --> 1:19:07.160 principal or teacher from Boy Meets World. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. 1:19:07.200 --> 1:19:10.639 And back in January twenty twenty three, mister Feenie's wife 1:19:10.680 --> 1:19:13.040 said that she and him had a bit of an 1:19:13.080 --> 1:19:16.160 open marriage after they tied the not in nineteen fifty one. 1:19:16.960 --> 1:19:19.439 Uh didn't work well, but hey, that was what people 1:19:19.479 --> 1:19:21.920 were doing at the time. She had an affair that 1:19:22.040 --> 1:19:23.960 lasted a few months with an actor who she called 1:19:24.000 --> 1:19:26.559 slightly boring, and Daniels had an affair with a producer 1:19:26.600 --> 1:19:29.040 in New York. They both eventually grew up and they 1:19:29.080 --> 1:19:33.200 are coming up on their seventy fifth wedding anniversary. In 1:19:33.240 --> 1:19:36.240 the month of June, the Smashing Pumpkins have announced a 1:19:36.240 --> 1:19:39.519 new tour and they had a funeral. I always find 1:19:39.560 --> 1:19:41.960 it weird when they do funerals for things that aren't living, 1:19:42.439 --> 1:19:44.160 like when they had that funeral for the N Word 1:19:44.200 --> 1:19:46.880 the end of LACP had a casket and everything. I 1:19:46.960 --> 1:19:49.760 don't know it was inside it but not opening it. 1:19:49.920 --> 1:19:53.120 But Sunday evening and all in Hollywood, the Smashing Pumpkins 1:19:53.160 --> 1:19:56.680 hosted a funeral ceremony for Zero, bidding a dude to 1:19:56.720 --> 1:19:59.240 the alter ego of frontman Billy Corgan. Now I did 1:19:59.240 --> 1:20:01.240 not know Zero was an alter ego of his. I 1:20:01.280 --> 1:20:04.240 thought it was just a song me too, But anyway, 1:20:04.360 --> 1:20:09.800 they had a casket, they had a eulogy, they had 1:20:10.000 --> 1:20:14.000 pall bearers and mourners, and then the band came out 1:20:14.040 --> 1:20:17.400 and played a bunch of their hits, including Zero. 1:20:18.120 --> 1:20:20.400 Well that seems I mean, I don't want them to 1:20:20.400 --> 1:20:22.000 put that song to bed. Zero's cool. 1:20:22.080 --> 1:20:26.479 Yes, Zero, the single that was released in between nineteen 1:20:26.560 --> 1:20:29.759 seventy nine and Tonight. Tonight was part of this show 1:20:29.760 --> 1:20:31.920 that they did to kick off their Rats in a 1:20:31.960 --> 1:20:36.600 Cage tour. Presale started today and they've got stops in Brooklyn, Jacksonville, 1:20:36.640 --> 1:20:40.280 and Tampa in October. The tour kicks off September thirtieth 1:20:40.280 --> 1:20:41.960 in Columbus, Ohio. Just thought it was funny that they 1:20:42.000 --> 1:20:44.600 would do a funeral for the song and then or 1:20:45.320 --> 1:20:48.280 the funeral for Zero and then still play Zero. Oh 1:20:48.360 --> 1:20:50.800 is Rat in a Cage. The Zero song No Rat 1:20:50.840 --> 1:20:54.960 in a Cage is Bullet with butterfly wings. Oh, I 1:20:54.960 --> 1:20:57.280 think it's the same album. This tour there going on 1:20:57.920 --> 1:21:00.559 is like to commemorate an anniversary of I'm Calling in 1:21:00.560 --> 1:21:02.559 the Infinite Sadness. They're doing two sets in the first 1:21:02.600 --> 1:21:06.719 set will be all melancholy songs and then the number 1:21:06.720 --> 1:21:11.000 one story in the Hot sheet today, Kim Kardashian scores 1:21:11.040 --> 1:21:13.679 a sort of a win. I guess you could say 1:21:14.080 --> 1:21:18.880 her Skim's clothing line helped convict a cocaine smuggler in England, 1:21:19.479 --> 1:21:22.280 Jacob jan Conkole will spend the next thirteen and a 1:21:22.280 --> 1:21:24.639 half years in the Big House. After his sentencing Monday 1:21:25.040 --> 1:21:28.840 in Chelmsford, Crown Colt in the County of Essex, border 1:21:28.840 --> 1:21:31.320 patrol officers x ray his trailer truck that he had 1:21:31.360 --> 1:21:34.719 on a ferry. It had twenty eight pallets of Skim's clothing, 1:21:35.240 --> 1:21:38.400 the clothing line from Kim Kardashian. There was nothing to 1:21:38.400 --> 1:21:40.759 farius about the clothing, but inside the rear trailer doors, 1:21:40.760 --> 1:21:44.200 officers found ninety packages, each containing two point two pounds 1:21:44.200 --> 1:21:48.120 of cocaine she valued at nine point four million dollars, 1:21:48.560 --> 1:21:51.439 which he later confessed to agreeing to smuggle in exchange 1:21:51.439 --> 1:21:54.639 for only fifty three hundred bucks nine point four million 1:21:54.680 --> 1:21:56.960 dollars worth of coke and he was only getting a 1:21:57.000 --> 1:21:59.920 measly fifty three hundred dollars. Chalk it up, they say, 1:22:00.080 --> 1:22:02.320 chalk it up, a legal victory for Kim, one of 1:22:02.360 --> 1:22:06.559 her only ones that seems like. And on a personal note, 1:22:06.560 --> 1:22:08.479 I have to end with sort of a sad story 1:22:08.960 --> 1:22:11.720 because there's a band that's calling it quits, and you know, 1:22:11.880 --> 1:22:16.120 I just think I've missed an opportunity to never see 1:22:16.560 --> 1:22:22.960 Hya Babi oh No. Aqua is calling it done, It's over. 1:22:24.000 --> 1:22:27.280 After almost thirty years in music, Aqua have announced they 1:22:27.280 --> 1:22:30.759 will not be performing again. The Danis eurodance group, famous 1:22:30.760 --> 1:22:33.760 for the nineteen ninety seven hit Barbie Girl, shared that 1:22:33.760 --> 1:22:35.960 they were breaking up, which led a lot of people 1:22:36.000 --> 1:22:39.920 to go. I didn't know Aqua was still together. After 1:22:40.000 --> 1:22:42.280 many incredible years, we've decided to close the chapter of 1:22:42.320 --> 1:22:44.880 Aqua as a live band. It's been such a huge 1:22:44.880 --> 1:22:46.719 part of our lives and together we've had the chance 1:22:46.760 --> 1:22:50.519 to experience more than we've ever dreamed of. In two thousand, 1:22:50.600 --> 1:22:54.160 Barbie's parent company, Mattel sued their label, MCA Records, claiming 1:22:54.280 --> 1:22:58.479 the song violated Barbie's trademark and sexualized the doll with 1:22:58.560 --> 1:23:01.400 its suggestive lyrics. The law suit was dismissed in two 1:23:01.439 --> 1:23:03.919 thousand and two after a court ruled it was protected 1:23:03.960 --> 1:23:07.240 as a work of parody under the First Amendment.

He got 1:25:28.040 --> 1:25:30.679 charged with assault for touching her, not for calling her hot. 1:25:30.920 --> 1:25:33.040 That's true, he is the guy who called her hot, 1:25:33.040 --> 1:25:35.479 but he put his hands on her too, and she said, 1:25:35.520 --> 1:25:37.360 you don't want him. You could be in charge with 1:25:37.400 --> 1:25:41.200 assault for calling somebody hot. No, but Moses, our attorney, 1:25:41.240 --> 1:25:44.680 Moses Dwait, told us that if you just walk by 1:25:44.680 --> 1:25:47.880 somebody and put your hand on their shoulder, you're probably 1:25:48.120 --> 1:25:50.679 not going to get a charge. 1:25:50.760 --> 1:25:52.400 You're probably not gonna camp a charge over that. But 1:25:52.439 --> 1:25:54.160 if you do it again after they tell you not to, 1:25:55.320 --> 1:25:57.720 you could. But I think they were just looking for 1:25:57.760 --> 1:26:00.280 something they could do about this guy. And then with 1:26:00.400 --> 1:26:02.559 the news that the guy who did that had been 1:26:03.240 --> 1:26:06.439 with an assault charged by a grand jury.

Yeah, the student that 1:26:30.439 --> 1:26:32.120 was this one? 1:26:32.280 --> 1:26:32.439 Right? 1:26:32.880 --> 1:26:36.640 No, I did this one too, Oh well it was. 1:26:36.760 --> 1:26:41.040 I was in response to the fact that. 1:26:40.600 --> 1:26:42.439 The fact that a student had just said he was 1:26:42.439 --> 1:26:44.640 working his butt off on some job where he was 1:26:44.640 --> 1:26:46.720 only getting eight bucks an hour, and then that led 1:26:46.760 --> 1:26:48.160 to this juvenile gesture. 1:26:48.520 --> 1:26:50.080 Do you think they'll say it in the report here? 1:26:50.120 --> 1:26:51.519 Before I get onto the next thing. 1:26:54.160 --> 1:26:58.320 Washington County Board been accused of election appropriate conduct back 1:26:58.320 --> 1:26:59.360 in two thousand and nine. 1:26:59.400 --> 1:27:01.360 It is our top story. I'm Kelly Getz. 1:27:02.000 --> 1:27:05.080 Received this information through a Freedom of Information Act request. 1:27:05.400 --> 1:27:08.760 Documents from the Washington County Board of Education suggest urban 1:27:08.960 --> 1:27:11.439 entered a classroom at David Crockett High School and was 1:27:11.439 --> 1:27:14.479 observing a discussion between the teacher and about fifteen students. 1:27:14.880 --> 1:27:17.639 During this a student commented about the student's current job, 1:27:17.720 --> 1:27:21.320 sharing their hourly wage. According to the documents, Irvin allegedly 1:27:21.320 --> 1:27:23.519 made a lewd gesture in front of the class and 1:27:23.560 --> 1:27:26.920 two teachers. After this, the student became upset and was 1:27:27.000 --> 1:27:30.280 later privately counseled by the teacher. The documents also say 1:27:30.280 --> 1:27:32.880 Irvan apologized for his actions and did not think he 1:27:32.960 --> 1:27:36.160 would have upset the students. We will have more from these. 1:27:36.360 --> 1:27:38.880 This guy's just constantly being crude, and then when people 1:27:38.920 --> 1:27:41.799 get upset, he's like, what what are you talking about? 1:27:42.320 --> 1:27:44.160 He said what he called the young girl hot that 1:27:44.200 --> 1:27:47.800 he meant she was on the roll or she's on fire. Yeah, 1:27:47.840 --> 1:27:51.840 you're on fire, It said Tennessee School board member Keith 1:27:51.880 --> 1:27:56.639 Irvin made a leude juvenile gesture of a sexual nature 1:27:56.720 --> 1:27:58.680 in front of students. I think that's as much as 1:27:59.000 --> 1:28:02.799 we're getting out of this, it said. Documents available at 1:28:04.120 --> 1:28:06.840 I would like to see the document side and I'm 1:28:06.840 --> 1:28:09.200 on the website. I was he no documents. They're quoting 1:28:09.280 --> 1:28:13.080 the documents, it says record state. During classroom discussion, a 1:28:13.120 --> 1:28:15.840 student made a comment and Irvin quote then made a 1:28:15.920 --> 1:28:19.559 lewd juvenile gesture of a sexual nature unquote. This happened 1:28:19.600 --> 1:28:21.919 in playing view of the entire class and two teachers, 1:28:22.160 --> 1:28:25.280 the principal stated. Another teacher claimed Irvin had used profanity 1:28:25.320 --> 1:28:30.080 in front of students. Well, I mean, this guy is 1:28:30.120 --> 1:28:32.479 just kind of a loose cannon. I think that's what 1:28:32.479 --> 1:28:35.760 I'm getting from him. But I'll take your your dispatches on. 1:28:35.800 --> 1:28:38.800 That is an assault charge right in this situation? Or 1:28:38.840 --> 1:28:41.000 is that too far? Let us know what you think. 1:28:41.040 --> 1:28:44.200 Go over to the newsjunkie dot com right now. Okay, 1:28:44.680 --> 1:28:46.240 one story I wanted to address real quick that I 1:28:46.240 --> 1:28:48.040 saw making the rounds today. Let me bring this up. 1:28:48.400 --> 1:28:50.400 This was done in such a weird way. All right. 1:28:50.560 --> 1:28:53.080 Media outlets are so weird, the like these journalists are 1:28:53.120 --> 1:28:56.200 so weird, some of them. And here's the headline of 1:28:56.240 --> 1:28:58.759 the BBC, Like, this is legitimate. This is an actual 1:28:58.880 --> 1:29:01.639 article that's it's going viral today and it. 1:29:01.600 --> 1:29:07.640 Says selling children to survive Afghan fathers are forced to 1:29:07.720 --> 1:29:11.080 make impossible choices. I want you to remember this. I'm 1:29:11.080 --> 1:29:14.400 gonna I got some commentary momentarily here. But it says 1:29:14.600 --> 1:29:19.400 selling children to survive Afghan fathers fathers in Afghanistan forced 1:29:19.439 --> 1:29:22.040 to make impossible choices, it says, and it shows some 1:29:22.120 --> 1:29:23.560 guy in Afghanistan. 1:29:23.600 --> 1:29:25.840 Excuse me, still getting over a bit of a cold here, 1:29:26.080 --> 1:29:28.320 It says as dawn breaks, hundreds of men gather at 1:29:28.320 --> 1:29:31.599 a dusty square in Sha Karan, the capital of Gore 1:29:31.640 --> 1:29:35.679 Province in Afghanistan. They lined the roadside with weary faces, 1:29:35.920 --> 1:29:38.519 hoping somebody will come along offering any work. It will 1:29:38.600 --> 1:29:42.759 determine whether their families eat that day. The likelihood of success, however, 1:29:42.920 --> 1:29:44.920 is low. Like the whole thing is about how the 1:29:45.360 --> 1:29:49.680 economy in Afghanistan is cratering. Who would have thunk it? 1:29:50.400 --> 1:29:53.479 Who would have thunk that the Taliban two point zero 1:29:53.960 --> 1:29:57.160 and people that live in the Stone Age, that those 1:29:57.200 --> 1:29:59.479 people would have an economy that wasn't rock and en 1:29:59.560 --> 1:30:02.800 rolling right now, I'm sure it's heavily affected by the 1:30:02.960 --> 1:30:06.000 strait of horror moves shutting down right like there's a 1:30:06.080 --> 1:30:09.080 ridiculous Of course, of course that's the case. Juma Khan, 1:30:09.280 --> 1:30:12.120 forty five has found just three days of work in 1:30:12.120 --> 1:30:14.880 the past six weeks that paid them between two dollars 1:30:14.960 --> 1:30:18.519 and three dollars and thirteen cents per day. My children 1:30:18.560 --> 1:30:21.320 went to bed hungry three nights in a row. My 1:30:21.439 --> 1:30:24.400 wife was crying, so were my children. I begged a 1:30:24.439 --> 1:30:27.160 neighbor for some money to buy flour. He said, I 1:30:27.280 --> 1:30:29.759 live in fear that my children will die of hunger. Well, okay, 1:30:29.800 --> 1:30:32.960 that's terrible, but they continue on the BBC. History is 1:30:33.000 --> 1:30:36.040 in no way unique. In Afghanistan today is staggering. Three 1:30:36.120 --> 1:30:38.760 and four people cannot meet their basic needs. According to 1:30:38.800 --> 1:30:43.120 the United Nations, unemployment is rife, healthcare struggling, and the 1:30:43.160 --> 1:30:45.679 aid that once provided the basics for millions is dwindled 1:30:45.680 --> 1:30:48.320 to a fraction of what it once was. The country 1:30:48.320 --> 1:30:51.320 is now facing record levels of hunger. Four point seven 1:30:51.439 --> 1:30:55.160 million people, more than a tenth of Afghanistan's population, are. 1:30:55.120 --> 1:30:58.679 One step away from famine. What does that even mean? 1:30:58.800 --> 1:31:03.240 What is whoa one more step? And I'm right now 1:31:03.400 --> 1:31:04.120 you are not? 1:31:06.600 --> 1:31:06.880 Really? 1:31:07.760 --> 1:31:10.680 Yeah? I mean, I look, you're You're in Afghanistan in 1:31:10.720 --> 1:31:15.200 twenty twenty six. Gore is one of the worst effective provinces. 1:31:15.439 --> 1:31:18.000 The men are desperate. I got a call saying my 1:31:18.120 --> 1:31:21.160 children hadn't eaten for two days, said Rob Beanie, one 1:31:21.200 --> 1:31:23.640 of the men, his voice choking up. I feel like 1:31:23.680 --> 1:31:26.920 I should kill myself. Then I thought, how will that 1:31:27.040 --> 1:31:30.160 help my family? So I'm here looking for work instead. 1:31:31.400 --> 1:31:32.759 Cum Jawah Maud. 1:31:32.640 --> 1:31:35.280 Barely gets out a few words before he starts crying, crying, 1:31:35.600 --> 1:31:38.120 we're starving. My older children died, so I need to 1:31:38.160 --> 1:31:39.880 work to feed my family. But I'm old, so nobody 1:31:39.880 --> 1:31:42.639 wants to give me work. And they go on about 1:31:42.840 --> 1:31:45.800 them struggling to get work. Then they talk about this guy. 1:31:46.000 --> 1:31:48.800 Abdul Rashid a Zimi takes us into his home and 1:31:48.840 --> 1:31:51.719 brings out one of his children, seven year old twins, 1:31:51.840 --> 1:31:53.840 or brings out two of his children, seven year old twins, 1:31:53.920 --> 1:31:57.839 Rokia and Rohila. He holds them close, eager to explain 1:31:57.880 --> 1:32:02.360 why he's making unbearable choices. He says, with his daughters 1:32:02.400 --> 1:32:06.400 out now, as the BBC reporter stands nearby, I'm willing 1:32:06.439 --> 1:32:10.040 to sell my daughters. He weeps. I'm poor, I'm in 1:32:10.160 --> 1:32:11.400 debt and I'm helpless. 1:32:12.120 --> 1:32:14.839 I come home from work with parched lips, hungry, thirsty, 1:32:14.880 --> 1:32:18.000 distressed and confused. My children come to be saying, Bob, 1:32:18.040 --> 1:32:19.479 I'll give us some bread, but what can I give? 1:32:19.520 --> 1:32:20.840 Where is the work? 1:32:21.240 --> 1:32:23.280 Abu tells us he's willing to sell his girls for 1:32:23.439 --> 1:32:26.400 marriage or for domestic work. If I sell one daughter, 1:32:26.439 --> 1:32:28.240 I could feed the rest of my children for at 1:32:28.320 --> 1:32:32.679 least four years, he says. He hugs his daughter, kissing 1:32:32.680 --> 1:32:34.880 her as he cries. It breaks my heart, but it's 1:32:34.880 --> 1:32:38.240 the only way. Let me tell you something, you weird 1:32:38.320 --> 1:32:41.479 Afghan son of a bitch, That is not the only 1:32:41.560 --> 1:32:44.559 way you could take everything from me. 1:32:45.120 --> 1:32:48.400 It could be the end of the world. Okay, I 1:32:48.439 --> 1:32:52.200 could be all the steps into famine. And you are 1:32:52.520 --> 1:32:58.000 incredibly heartless and a terrible, terrible human being to even 1:32:58.080 --> 1:33:01.719 suggest that, because of financial reason, you're going to sell 1:33:01.840 --> 1:33:05.120 your daughter are And they just like kind of pitch 1:33:05.160 --> 1:33:07.519 this in the BBC story like it's a total normal, 1:33:07.640 --> 1:33:11.559 that completely normal response to the financial difficulties that are 1:33:11.560 --> 1:33:15.080 faced by these people in Afghanistan. Nah, dude, this is 1:33:15.080 --> 1:33:16.080 a culture difference. 1:33:16.320 --> 1:33:18.439 People in the United States of America, as far as 1:33:18.439 --> 1:33:20.720 I know, don't find it to be a normal thing 1:33:20.760 --> 1:33:21.920 to go, Hey, my. 1:33:22.560 --> 1:33:25.840 Economic situation sucks. So what I'm gonna have to do 1:33:25.960 --> 1:33:27.680 here is I'm gonna have to sell one of my 1:33:27.760 --> 1:33:30.479 twin daughters. As she is right, she's next to me, 1:33:30.520 --> 1:33:34.439 I'm coddling her, I'm bringing her over, and I'm saying, well, 1:33:34.439 --> 1:33:36.599 probably have to sell one of my daughters for marriage. 1:33:37.120 --> 1:33:40.360 How old they say? She was little kids. The twins 1:33:40.360 --> 1:33:45.440 were seven. I s seven, seven years old, seven years old, barbaric. 1:33:45.520 --> 1:33:48.599 Somebody says, yes, that's right, which that's right. I believe 1:33:48.600 --> 1:33:51.800 it is old enough to you know, realize what he's saying, right, yeah, 1:33:52.000 --> 1:33:54.479 seven year old kid. And this is not normal. 1:33:54.640 --> 1:33:57.000 This is not because, well, man, the horrors of the 1:33:57.040 --> 1:34:00.280 economic problems of Afghanistan are quite on display. 1:34:00.520 --> 1:34:03.880 Nah dog. This is like the horrors of people living 1:34:03.880 --> 1:34:07.000 in stone age times where they don't care about their kids, 1:34:07.280 --> 1:34:10.200 where they want to sell away their daughters, sell them 1:34:10.200 --> 1:34:14.120 into child marriage. You imagine the disconnect you have from 1:34:14.200 --> 1:34:17.280 humanity to be looking down at your twin seven year 1:34:17.280 --> 1:34:19.600 old daughters and say, I'm gonna split them up and 1:34:19.760 --> 1:34:21.679 sell one of them so I can have some bread 1:34:21.760 --> 1:34:25.720 or something. Buddy, I would be lining up behind Osama 1:34:25.760 --> 1:34:29.400 bin Laden to make a couple extra bucks before I 1:34:29.439 --> 1:34:33.280 sold off a child to God knows who, for God 1:34:33.360 --> 1:34:37.680 knows what in Afghanistan that is diluted, demented. And the 1:34:37.720 --> 1:34:41.640 idea that they write stories like this almost normalizing this 1:34:41.760 --> 1:34:43.680 kind of stuff and going, well, you know that's how 1:34:43.720 --> 1:34:46.080 tough it is, all right, I'm tough to get bread 1:34:46.080 --> 1:34:49.200 out there. He says that this is gonna sound like 1:34:49.240 --> 1:34:52.240 a weird question, but okay, I don't know how else 1:34:52.280 --> 1:34:56.559 to broach this topic. He says, it's so bad, I'm 1:34:56.560 --> 1:34:59.760 willing to sell. You know, I've considered selling one of 1:34:59.760 --> 1:35:04.240 my children and two of my children. Yeah. Are there buyers, Yeah? Yeah, 1:35:04.280 --> 1:35:07.639 in Afghanistan probably yeah. I think they're like, legitimately, it's 1:35:07.680 --> 1:35:12.280 a thing. It's like it's a monetary value. Your child is. 1:35:13.280 --> 1:35:16.280 Any real parent, any legitimate parent, would never even consider this. 1:35:16.320 --> 1:35:18.800 It doesn't matter, It doesn't matter what the circumstances. There 1:35:18.800 --> 1:35:22.439 are no circumstances that you would face where you would go, Okay, fine, 1:35:22.479 --> 1:35:24.160 you know, the worst comes to worse. 1:35:24.479 --> 1:35:28.640 Now, I mean the kid. I could see you saying, like, 1:35:28.800 --> 1:35:32.479 you know, let's say you have you encountering this problem 1:35:32.479 --> 1:35:37.360 in America. I could see you saying, listen, it's I'm 1:35:37.360 --> 1:35:39.880 at such dire straits that I can't provide for my 1:35:40.000 --> 1:35:43.759 family that I think I need to give my children 1:35:43.840 --> 1:35:47.439 up for adoption. Sure. Yeah, but you're not getting any 1:35:47.479 --> 1:35:48.120 money for that. 1:35:48.200 --> 1:35:50.439 Right, Yeah, you're not trying to find the market value 1:35:50.479 --> 1:35:52.360 of your seven year old daughter to sell her into 1:35:52.400 --> 1:35:55.280 a marriage with an old man in Afghanistan, Who's going 1:35:55.360 --> 1:35:58.959 to do perverse things with her for all of her 1:35:59.320 --> 1:36:01.160 childhood stolen away from her? 1:36:01.680 --> 1:36:08.800 Just unbelievable. MPWs is probably American buyers. No, exclusively done 1:36:08.840 --> 1:36:14.160 by people in the Afghanistan culture that embraces child brides 1:36:14.160 --> 1:36:17.240 and allows the selling of human beings, even kids, to 1:36:17.320 --> 1:36:22.040 other people. Sorry, but in this one, you're absolutely positively wrong. 1:36:22.200 --> 1:36:25.320 This is a culture problem. You have an economic problem 1:36:25.360 --> 1:36:27.639 on top of it. But so weird, Like the story 1:36:27.640 --> 1:36:30.360 from the BBC's as selling children to survive afghan father 1:36:30.439 --> 1:36:32.160 is forced to make impossible choices. 1:36:32.360 --> 1:36:35.200 That's not an impossible choice. It's not a choice. That's 1:36:35.240 --> 1:36:37.960 not something you should ever think of it. There's nothing 1:36:38.880 --> 1:36:41.600 Rock Wilder says, teenage Sean sells Dylan no doubt, you 1:36:41.640 --> 1:36:45.160 know what, would never have done it, never ever, ever 1:36:45.320 --> 1:36:49.519 for a moment, not even for a split second. Everything 1:36:49.560 --> 1:36:52.360 in you as a human being tells you that that 1:36:52.520 --> 1:36:57.280 is wrong if you're a decent human being, right' Like 1:36:57.439 --> 1:36:59.920 that's it?

Senday dispatch over at 1:37:30.800 --> 1:37:34.599 the news junkie dot com. Quick update the Florida Keys 1:37:34.680 --> 1:37:38.280 responding to the threat yesterday, I told Cuba this would 1:37:38.280 --> 1:37:38.960 be a bad idea. 1:37:38.960 --> 1:37:40.920 It's right. I don't think it's going to happen. 1:37:40.960 --> 1:37:45.120 But the Florida Keys sheriff released a statement about the 1:37:45.160 --> 1:37:49.680 potential for Cuba to drone attack the Keys, and they 1:37:49.720 --> 1:37:53.320 said no changes in light of Cuba related news reports. 1:37:53.360 --> 1:37:56.800 Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsey has not been contacted by 1:37:56.800 --> 1:38:00.559 any federal or state authorities regarding news reports Sunday possible 1:38:00.640 --> 1:38:04.200 military action taken by Cuba against US military bases like 1:38:04.560 --> 1:38:08.479 Guantanamo Bay using drones. The Sheriff's office cannot confirm any 1:38:08.479 --> 1:38:12.519 news reporting regarding the aforemationed activities and cannot substantiate it 1:38:12.760 --> 1:38:16.120 where it originated or substantiate where it originated.

Doesn't think that 1:38:25.120 --> 1:38:28.479 the Cubans are going to be the Keys. Yeah, they're cool, 1:38:28.600 --> 1:38:30.559 they are. They're cool there. Like I said, that would 1:38:30.600 --> 1:38:33.280 be a real dumb move on Cuba's part. 1:38:33.360 --> 1:38:35.760 But we'll see what happens quick break.

Mama Greaser says, 1:42:44.600 --> 1:42:46.920 I have an unnumbered one yet, that those are rare. 1:42:46.960 --> 1:42:50.000 I've got one here in the studio behind me. I've 1:42:50.040 --> 1:42:53.400 got one on display. What are the unnumbered ones? But 1:42:53.520 --> 1:42:57.599 I think there was only a couple hundred of them 1:42:57.640 --> 1:43:01.320 to begin with. Let me go to the very first magnet. Well, 1:43:01.560 --> 1:43:03.519 there was a thousand, I guess a thousand of the 1:43:03.560 --> 1:43:08.080 first round of unnumbered and then there was numbered ones 1:43:08.439 --> 1:43:10.880 all the way to three thousand, still of the same 1:43:10.920 --> 1:43:16.320 original design. So it was the unnumbered ones was where 1:43:16.920 --> 1:43:20.120 Courtney accidentally came up with a game of magnets where 1:43:20.120 --> 1:43:21.320 she didn't want to put it on a car because 1:43:21.320 --> 1:43:23.760 she was afraid somebody would steal it. Yeah, she said, 1:43:24.000 --> 1:43:25.200 if I put this in the back of my car, 1:43:25.240 --> 1:43:26.720 somebody gonna steal it, kind of tape it in the 1:43:26.720 --> 1:43:29.080 back window. And I go, that's trashy, and I go, wait, 1:43:29.120 --> 1:43:31.880 hold on, we got something going on here. Game of 1:43:31.920 --> 1:43:34.559 Magnets is a thing now. People see a news junkie 1:43:34.560 --> 1:43:36.320 magnet out in the wild and to share the show 1:43:36.360 --> 1:43:39.839 Tuesday or any other day like that. You go, holy 1:43:39.960 --> 1:43:43.840 cal let's do this thing. And you you grab it 1:43:43.920 --> 1:43:46.160 in public. I mean, that's the risk of putting them 1:43:46.160 --> 1:43:47.720 on your car. That's why most people don't do it. 1:43:47.720 --> 1:43:50.640 They keep them inside the house. I don't blame you 1:43:50.720 --> 1:43:52.719 for that. Now, here's the thing I said, I wish 1:43:52.920 --> 1:43:55.960 you for it. You know when you have a free refrigerator, 1:43:56.080 --> 1:43:59.479 doors just full of magnets. Well, I mean, but I can't. 1:43:59.560 --> 1:44:01.720 I can't say much now because there's a fridge in 1:44:01.760 --> 1:44:04.920 the Secret Show studio, Well it has magnets all over. 1:44:05.080 --> 1:44:07.040 Well, you seem to have calmed down on the shaming 1:44:07.080 --> 1:44:10.639 for that, and I think at some point you can 1:44:10.720 --> 1:44:13.120 only have so many magnets on your car. I mean 1:44:13.120 --> 1:44:16.200 I would. It would just be ridiculous if if all 1:44:16.240 --> 1:44:20.240 the magnets you came across went to your car. Yeah, 1:44:20.680 --> 1:44:23.280 I mean, I agree, I agree, But just know this, 1:44:23.360 --> 1:44:25.880 if you see a news junkie magnet, it's out there 1:44:25.880 --> 1:44:28.160 and play and it's fair game. But here's what I said. 1:44:28.160 --> 1:44:29.880 I don't know if this is a big risk or not. 1:44:30.080 --> 1:44:31.840 I don't know if I should be worried about this. 1:44:32.080 --> 1:44:34.599 Have you ever had a tick on you at any 1:44:34.640 --> 1:44:36.960 point in your life? See, not that I know of. No, 1:44:37.080 --> 1:44:39.000 I don't think I have all right. 1:44:38.920 --> 1:44:42.160 I don't believe and I think I would know, right, 1:44:42.200 --> 1:44:46.000 I don't believe I've ever had a tick on me 1:44:46.320 --> 1:44:47.040 in my life. 1:44:47.720 --> 1:44:50.679 Like and when you say on you that has bitten 1:44:50.720 --> 1:44:54.080 you or just land on you, like even on me, 1:44:54.240 --> 1:44:57.720 I don't think I'm trying to remember I've never had 1:44:57.720 --> 1:45:00.600 one bite me because I've never had to. You know, 1:45:00.640 --> 1:45:02.720 they have those like weird ways of removing it where 1:45:02.760 --> 1:45:04.840 you use like a match stick that was lit and 1:45:04.840 --> 1:45:08.360 then you blow it how you're supposed to do so. 1:45:08.360 --> 1:45:10.759 So hold on, you take a lit match, you blow 1:45:10.800 --> 1:45:13.920 the match out, and then you put the toasty thing 1:45:14.000 --> 1:45:16.000 the match on your skin and that makes the tick 1:45:16.040 --> 1:45:18.720 come out. I mean, I'm sure that's not the I 1:45:18.760 --> 1:45:20.920 think that was like an old wives tale. Is what 1:45:20.960 --> 1:45:23.120 you're supposed to do. This says to safely remove an 1:45:23.120 --> 1:45:27.960 attached tick, use clean, fine tipped tweezers to grasp it 1:45:28.000 --> 1:45:30.519 as close to the skin surface as possible, pull upward 1:45:30.560 --> 1:45:33.360 a steady, even pressure without twisting or jerking. Clean the 1:45:33.360 --> 1:45:35.760 bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap 1:45:35.800 --> 1:45:38.519 and water. All right, somebody, Hippi wol VICKI says, yes, 1:45:38.560 --> 1:45:41.240 Selene is right about this, and not on your skin, 1:45:41.280 --> 1:45:43.719 but on the tick. You put it right in there, Sean. 1:45:43.760 --> 1:45:45.639 You have to get into nature to get a tick. Why, 1:45:45.840 --> 1:45:46.120 I know. 1:45:46.360 --> 1:45:49.120 But you know, I go out and I'm outdoors walking. 1:45:49.200 --> 1:45:51.680 I get ten thousand plus steps every single day. I'm 1:45:51.720 --> 1:45:53.920 an active guy. Get I get out and about you 1:45:53.960 --> 1:45:56.439 guys are still trying to do this this thing like 1:45:56.479 --> 1:45:57.840 I'm a rec loose and his shut in. 1:45:57.920 --> 1:45:59.960 I don't do that, all right, don't. That's not real. 1:46:00.520 --> 1:46:02.920 It's a meme that still out there, but it doesn't 1:46:02.960 --> 1:46:05.639 add up. But the ticks seem to be an issue. 1:46:05.640 --> 1:46:07.720 I'm looking here at the USA Today article that has 1:46:07.800 --> 1:46:11.160 me talking about this. It looks like it's real bad 1:46:11.200 --> 1:46:14.920 sea land up here in the northeastern United States, Like 1:46:15.160 --> 1:46:16.920 that's where a lot of the. 1:46:16.880 --> 1:46:20.240 Ticks seem to be sinking in. And then into the 1:46:20.280 --> 1:46:23.000 Midwest there's a lot of ticks. But it's down into 1:46:23.040 --> 1:46:25.840 the southeast too. I mean that there's spread across the 1:46:25.920 --> 1:46:28.599 United States. Then they've said that there's a huge issue 1:46:28.680 --> 1:46:32.320 or tick bites are surging, sending people to the emergency 1:46:32.400 --> 1:46:36.280 room like never before, and you've got to be careful 1:46:36.280 --> 1:46:39.760 about this. Emergency Room visits for tick bites have reached 1:46:39.760 --> 1:46:42.240 their highest levels for this time of the year since 1:46:42.280 --> 1:46:45.599 twenty seventeen. Several regions of the United States are now 1:46:45.600 --> 1:46:49.400 seeing increased tick activity due to warmer temperatures, especially in 1:46:49.439 --> 1:46:52.680 the Northeast and the Midwest, and estimated four hundred and 1:46:52.720 --> 1:46:56.639 seventy six thousand people receive treatment for lime disease every year, 1:46:57.000 --> 1:46:59.479 making it the most prevalent tick born illness in the 1:46:59.560 --> 1:47:05.599 United States States. Are there other tick born illnesses disease, Yeah, 1:47:05.640 --> 1:47:08.439 there's the one that the weirdos want everybody to get. 1:47:08.840 --> 1:47:15.920 Lemon disease. No, no, no, no, no, chicken pox celan 1:47:15.960 --> 1:47:17.599 look this up, because I'm gonna I'm not gonna get 1:47:17.640 --> 1:47:22.439 there's a there's a tick born disease that extremists want 1:47:22.439 --> 1:47:24.960 everybody to get because it makes you allergic to meat. 1:47:25.280 --> 1:47:30.120 Oh and and the idea is that they want everybody 1:47:30.160 --> 1:47:33.880 to get infected by this tick because then people will 1:47:33.920 --> 1:47:37.760 stop eating meat. Red meat out in the mouth syndrome. Yeah, 1:47:37.800 --> 1:47:39.840 that's it. That's that's a real thing, right, It's A 1:47:39.880 --> 1:47:43.400 tick induced meat disease, often called the red meat allergy, 1:47:43.920 --> 1:47:46.360 is a serious allergic condition triggered by the bite of 1:47:46.360 --> 1:47:50.559 a certain tick, most notably the lone Star tick. Okay, 1:47:50.840 --> 1:47:54.320 is that in Texas As, I would imagine maybe I 1:47:54.360 --> 1:47:58.200 don't know, I've heard of I've heard of stories of 1:47:58.240 --> 1:48:01.720 this ceiling with the alpha gay alpha you said of 1:48:01.760 --> 1:48:04.080 the I've heard of the alpha gu tic in particular. 1:48:04.200 --> 1:48:06.960 You get this alpha gu syndrome or whatever from it. 1:48:07.560 --> 1:48:14.040 And there has been entire communities mostly of like, uh, 1:48:14.479 --> 1:48:18.760 migrant workers, And I think this happens a lot in God, 1:48:19.160 --> 1:48:21.360 what's the place where rich people are up in the northeast, 1:48:21.400 --> 1:48:24.360 mar Martha's Vineyard Skills, Martha's Vineyards one of them. 1:48:24.479 --> 1:48:26.720 I think it might have been Martha's Martha's Vineyard. The 1:48:26.720 --> 1:48:28.719 story that I saw, and it said so many people 1:48:28.760 --> 1:48:33.240 had gotten these tick bites and alpha gu in the 1:48:33.560 --> 1:48:35.320 in Martha's Vineyard, that they were. 1:48:35.280 --> 1:48:40.760 Changing menus damn at these restaurants because that's furious, Yeah, 1:48:40.960 --> 1:48:44.519 like that they couldn't. They weren't eating meat in that area. 1:48:44.600 --> 1:48:48.280 When an infected tick bites, it transfers a sugar molecule 1:48:48.360 --> 1:48:52.000 called alpha gal into the bloodstream. This triggers the immune 1:48:52.000 --> 1:48:54.720 system to treat the molecule as a threat, resulting in 1:48:54.720 --> 1:48:58.479 an allergy to mammalian meat and products derived from mammals. 1:48:58.880 --> 1:49:02.559 People with AGS the alpha gal syndrome can have allergic 1:49:02.640 --> 1:49:09.120 reactions when they eat or are exposed to beef, pork, lamb, venison, rabbit, milk, cheese, 1:49:09.120 --> 1:49:13.280 and butter, and even buy products that use animal Uh 1:49:14.520 --> 1:49:19.439 you know, animal proteins like gelatin, green and medications. Because 1:49:19.560 --> 1:49:21.920 do you get sick or do you just not you 1:49:21.960 --> 1:49:23.479 just don't want to eat red meat anymore? 1:49:23.760 --> 1:49:24.240 Uh? 1:49:24.600 --> 1:49:30.000 I think you get sick. Unlike typical food allergies that 1:49:30.040 --> 1:49:33.960 occur immediately, alpha gl reactions usually begin two to six 1:49:34.000 --> 1:49:36.759 hours after eating or exposure. You get hives, itching, swelling 1:49:36.800 --> 1:49:39.080 on the face and throw it, wheezing, stomach pain or diarrhea. 1:49:39.760 --> 1:49:41.639 Here's the story, This is what I was talking about 1:49:41.760 --> 1:49:45.679 from the Vineyard Gazette. In Martha's Vineyard Sea Lian chefs 1:49:45.720 --> 1:49:48.880 consider ways to make menus alpha gal friendly. This is 1:49:48.920 --> 1:49:51.640 the tick born illness that, like some extremists say they 1:49:51.680 --> 1:49:54.080 want everybody to get it, so all stop eating red meat. 1:49:54.560 --> 1:49:57.519 Alpha gau syndrome, the tickboard allergy to mam million food 1:49:57.560 --> 1:50:00.240 products can turn a night out to dinner into night 1:50:00.240 --> 1:50:04.240 at the hospital. With rates of condition soaring on Martha's Vineyard, 1:50:04.560 --> 1:50:07.280 both food service workers and customers are figuring out how 1:50:07.280 --> 1:50:10.680 to keep restaurant dining safe. On Monday Island, tick and 1:50:10.760 --> 1:50:13.840 health experts met with chefs and restaurant tours at a 1:50:13.880 --> 1:50:17.320 town hall to discuss best practices for protecting a community 1:50:17.360 --> 1:50:21.639 susceptible to alpha gal while preserving an enjoyable restaurant experience. 1:50:21.960 --> 1:50:24.240 And they said, there's some of these communities that so 1:50:24.320 --> 1:50:28.080 many people have this tickborn alpha gal syndrome that they're 1:50:28.120 --> 1:50:33.320 removing meat from the from the items that they have 1:50:33.479 --> 1:50:37.640 on the menu. There. Unbelievable. That's so miserable because I 1:50:37.680 --> 1:50:40.120 mean all the stuff that I listed is so good. 1:50:40.600 --> 1:50:42.559 Yeah, I mean, I'm staying away from this, but yeah, 1:50:42.600 --> 1:50:45.040 let us know if you've experienced this, or if you 1:50:45.040 --> 1:50:46.960 know anybody that has. Hit us up with a dispatcher 1:50:47.000 --> 1:50:48.880 and email the tips at the news junkie dot com 1:50:49.160 --> 1:50:51.720 quick Break. We're back with Jury Duty that's coming up 1:50:51.800 --> 1:51:11.840 next on the News Junkie. Vicki on YouTube says that 1:51:12.040 --> 1:51:14.720 sounded made up well before I get into Jerry Duty. 1:51:14.800 --> 1:51:17.160 Let me wrap up. We were talking about there on 1:51:17.240 --> 1:51:19.559 the alpha gal thing, where I said there was some 1:51:19.640 --> 1:51:22.880 people who are like activist extremist types who seem to 1:51:23.040 --> 1:51:26.320 want to get everybody in the US infected with this 1:51:26.479 --> 1:51:31.440 tickborn alpha gal disease so that nobody would eat meat anymore, 1:51:32.000 --> 1:51:34.400 and then we would like the animals would all be 1:51:34.439 --> 1:51:38.080 saved or something. Here's the post in question, and it's 1:51:38.120 --> 1:51:41.599 got four point six million views. A peer reviewed paper 1:51:41.600 --> 1:51:45.040 published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors 1:51:45.280 --> 1:51:49.000 at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it 1:51:49.080 --> 1:51:54.679 is morally obligatory to genetically engineered tics to spread Alpha 1:51:54.680 --> 1:51:58.080 goal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic 1:51:58.080 --> 1:52:01.799 to red meat. The paper is called Beneficial blood Sucking. 1:52:02.520 --> 1:52:06.080 Their argument, if eating meat is morally wrong, that preventing 1:52:06.120 --> 1:52:08.759 the spread of disease that forces people to stop eating 1:52:08.800 --> 1:52:13.400 meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene edit lone 1:52:13.439 --> 1:52:16.879 star tics to enhance their ability to carry this alpha 1:52:16.920 --> 1:52:20.479 gu syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to 1:52:20.560 --> 1:52:24.120 infect more people. So they're literally saying, and this was 1:52:24.160 --> 1:52:30.439 in the journal Bioethics, They were literally saying in this 1:52:30.520 --> 1:52:32.600 that it's morally the right thing to do for scientists 1:52:32.680 --> 1:52:35.400 to get more people infected by this, like it's a 1:52:35.400 --> 1:52:37.880 real thing. Alpha gau syndrome is not mild. 1:52:37.920 --> 1:52:41.320 The CDC estimates four hundred fifty thousand Americans are already affected. 1:52:41.360 --> 1:52:42.240 That's more than I thought. 1:52:42.280 --> 1:52:45.080 Actually, four hundred and fifty thousand people already have this, 1:52:45.840 --> 1:52:48.559 and it says two academics out of medical school published 1:52:48.560 --> 1:52:50.320 a paper arguing this is a good thing and that 1:52:50.400 --> 1:52:54.040 it should be accelerating. The tick range is moving the 1:52:54.120 --> 1:52:57.760 alpha gau range map. Before nineteen sixty six, it was 1:52:57.800 --> 1:53:00.960 mostly just in the south, and then it. 1:53:01.080 --> 1:53:02.920 Moved throughout the east. 1:53:03.200 --> 1:53:04.800 Like if you put a line down the middle of 1:53:04.840 --> 1:53:08.720 the country, including Texas, it would be all of the 1:53:08.840 --> 1:53:11.320 eastern side of the United States of America. 1:53:11.560 --> 1:53:13.559 They just don't have tics on the other side. 1:53:13.720 --> 1:53:15.439 I guess they don't have as many of the tics, 1:53:15.439 --> 1:53:18.880 the lone star ticks that give people this alpha gal thing. 1:53:19.560 --> 1:53:24.759 But promoting tickborn ags is morally obligatory in beneficial blood 1:53:24.800 --> 1:53:26.360 sucking in bioethics. 1:53:26.800 --> 1:53:30.040 I don't know if I can actually find the beneficial 1:53:30.080 --> 1:53:33.080 blood sucking just so, I don't even really want this 1:53:33.120 --> 1:53:36.479 in my Google history, but here it is. Hang on 1:53:37.000 --> 1:53:40.760 the actual report itself benefit beneficial blood sucking, so you 1:53:40.760 --> 1:53:41.679 don't think I'm crazy? 1:53:42.240 --> 1:53:44.840 Is the actual paper? A bite of the lone star 1:53:44.920 --> 1:53:49.200 tics spreads alpha gal syndrome or AGS, the condition who's 1:53:49.200 --> 1:53:51.479 only affected the creation of a severe but non fatal 1:53:51.600 --> 1:53:55.559 red meat allergy. Public health Department's warn't against lone star tics, 1:53:55.600 --> 1:53:58.719 and scientists are working to develop an inoculation. We argue 1:53:58.720 --> 1:54:02.519 that if eating meat is more impermissible, then efforts to 1:54:02.560 --> 1:54:06.719 prevent the spread of AGS are also morally impermissible. After 1:54:06.760 --> 1:54:09.919 explaining the symptoms and how this is transmitted, we argue 1:54:10.000 --> 1:54:12.760 that it is a bio enhancer if it motivates people 1:54:12.800 --> 1:54:15.280 to stop eating meat. We then defend what we call 1:54:15.360 --> 1:54:19.240 the convergence argument. If doing this prevents the world from 1:54:19.240 --> 1:54:23.360 becoming a significantly worst place, it doesn't violate anybody's rights 1:54:23.360 --> 1:54:25.599 and promotes virtuous action or character. 1:54:25.760 --> 1:54:28.240 It doesn't violate anybody's rights. What about their right to 1:54:28.720 --> 1:54:32.880 enjoy meat or to not be infected by ticks? I'd like, 1:54:33.080 --> 1:54:34.880 let's just I get it. 1:54:34.920 --> 1:54:37.840 I mean, I get the argument is like a logical 1:54:37.920 --> 1:54:39.160 intellectual argument. 1:54:39.240 --> 1:54:41.440 I get it. But that's crazy, man. It's a little 1:54:41.440 --> 1:54:44.400 insane to think that, Like, no, let's infect everybody with this, 1:54:44.600 --> 1:54:48.640 because surely there's got to be other side effects or 1:54:48.720 --> 1:54:53.400 other conditions symptoms of this alpha cale syndrome aside from 1:54:53.520 --> 1:54:59.000 just you know, having an allergic reaction to eating certain foods, Like, yeah, 1:54:59.000 --> 1:55:02.600 shouldn't there There should be other stuff as part of it, right, 1:55:03.120 --> 1:55:05.240 or we don't even know. Maybe we don't know enough 1:55:05.280 --> 1:55:07.840 about what what this does to you. It can't be 1:55:07.920 --> 1:55:09.800 just as simple as it just makes it so you're 1:55:09.880 --> 1:55:13.240 violently ill when you have meat from animals anyhow. 1:55:13.280 --> 1:55:16.520 There, it is not crazy, that's true. That's an actual thing, 1:55:17.320 --> 1:55:19.960 and it's it's one hundred percent. And this is this 1:55:20.080 --> 1:55:23.360 is according to the people that publish this study or 1:55:23.400 --> 1:55:27.880 this whatever that they're saying that it's morally impermissible to 1:55:27.920 --> 1:55:31.160 eat meat. There's plenty of people who think it's morally permissible. Right, Yeah, 1:55:31.200 --> 1:55:32.400 that's their argument, right. 1:55:32.440 --> 1:55:35.040 And if he says, Vicky follows up, she said, I 1:55:35.120 --> 1:55:36.880 just found the exact quote what he's reading and it 1:55:36.960 --> 1:55:39.480 makes zero sense or they never learned basic grammar. I 1:55:39.520 --> 1:55:41.320 don't know what you're talking about. I can't tell you 1:55:41.320 --> 1:55:42.440 anything more. Than I already did. 1:55:42.480 --> 1:55:45.720 I gave you the actual abstract of the report itself 1:55:45.760 --> 1:55:48.120 from the authors, and I showed you the story. 1:55:48.600 --> 1:55:50.880 If you still don't believe that there's anything to it, 1:55:50.960 --> 1:55:53.560 then you know that's you. But I mean, I've presented 1:55:53.600 --> 1:55:55.600 a pretty good case here. I think, all right, here 1:55:55.680 --> 1:55:57.760 we go, let's get into it. Let's do jury duty. 1:55:58.200 --> 1:55:59.360 Court is now in sessions. 1:56:00.160 --> 1:56:02.440 Down and pay attention before we call the bailiff over 1:56:02.520 --> 1:56:03.400 to with your ass. 1:56:03.400 --> 1:56:06.720 You're knowing jury duty with the news Junkie Jury Duty 1:56:06.760 --> 1:56:09.720 brought to you by the one the only mode of 1:56:09.760 --> 1:56:12.240 the DeWitt Law Firm.

And Southwest Airlines is saying they are 1:56:36.480 --> 1:56:40.840 officially banning robots from their flights. 1:56:41.560 --> 1:56:44.280 You cannot bring a robot with you. I saw our 1:56:44.320 --> 1:56:47.680 friend Amy Kaufelt tweeting this out. It's a real story. 1:56:47.880 --> 1:56:50.520 What kind of robots have people been bringing on flights? 1:56:50.960 --> 1:56:55.160 It says robot passenger at love Field prompts Southwest Airlines 1:56:55.200 --> 1:56:59.440 to ban bots. All right, and then they show somebody 1:56:59.440 --> 1:57:03.120 who brought a robot here. It is because this video 1:57:05.840 --> 1:57:12.720 they got their robot dancing at airport security. The lady's 1:57:12.720 --> 1:57:14.600 trying to get a fist pump and the robots saying, no, 1:57:15.040 --> 1:57:16.200 it does it, It doesn't. 1:57:16.880 --> 1:57:21.280 This guy, yeah, look there he goes. Now the robot's 1:57:21.280 --> 1:57:25.520 gonna board flying. How weird. Where did you get on? 1:57:29.120 --> 1:57:29.320 Well? 1:57:29.400 --> 1:57:34.280 I don't know what to do with that? The robots 1:57:34.320 --> 1:57:40.320 walking on. He's trying to get it down the aisle. 1:57:40.440 --> 1:57:43.400 Now he's trying to look at this woman up front 1:57:43.440 --> 1:57:48.360 looking at the robot like what in God's name? She 1:57:48.440 --> 1:57:52.040 looks almost I can't tell if she's disgusted or fearful. 1:57:53.160 --> 1:57:58.640 She say, what's going on here? All right? They put 1:57:58.680 --> 1:58:00.520 he buys a seat for it so to see for 1:58:00.520 --> 1:58:03.920 his robot. All right, buddy, all right, there he goes. 1:58:03.960 --> 1:58:06.560 So this guy brought his robot on the plane. Now 1:58:06.680 --> 1:58:10.640 Southwest has followed up by saying you cannot bring any 1:58:10.760 --> 1:58:14.760 human like or animal like robots, regardless of size or purpose. 1:58:16.080 --> 1:58:19.640 The robot is from the Robot studio in Dallas, Texas. 1:58:19.840 --> 1:58:22.560 I don't see what the big deal is here. No, 1:58:22.680 --> 1:58:26.440 he bought a ticket for it. Yeah, I mean that, 1:58:26.880 --> 1:58:28.400 I'm gonna put this on see it now so you 1:58:28.400 --> 1:58:30.880 could see it. It's so crazy. And the lady was 1:58:30.920 --> 1:58:33.800 so put off by that. She was really offended by 1:58:33.840 --> 1:58:37.200 this guy's robot coming on the Southwest flight. I wouldn't 1:58:37.200 --> 1:58:39.720 be offended by the robot being on the flight. I 1:58:39.800 --> 1:58:44.080 would be annoyed if the robot is taking forever to 1:58:44.120 --> 1:58:46.440 walk down the aisle, Like, all right, dude, just pick 1:58:46.520 --> 1:58:49.200 up your robot, put it in its chair. I don't 1:58:49.200 --> 1:58:55.040 want the robot making my experience drag one. I don't 1:58:55.080 --> 1:58:58.800 mind having the robot there. Yeah, I don't mind animals 1:58:58.520 --> 1:59:02.040 on flights like that, you know, as long as they're cool. Yeah. 1:59:02.040 --> 1:59:04.080 I mean, like, if a person's buying a seat, how 1:59:04.160 --> 1:59:07.760 is it inconveniencing you? Yeah, it's not. It's not inconveniencing me. 1:59:07.920 --> 1:59:11.160 Although I think if I were flying standby and I 1:59:11.240 --> 1:59:13.840 didn't get on the plane, and uh, you know, I 1:59:13.920 --> 1:59:15.360 was like, I'm trying to get home. I'm on the 1:59:15.360 --> 1:59:18.960 standby list and a robot got on the plane. I 1:59:19.000 --> 1:59:21.760 would be a little annoyed that the robot got a 1:59:21.800 --> 1:59:24.280 seat and I didn't, especially when that robot could probably 1:59:24.280 --> 1:59:25.600 go in the overhead compartment. 1:59:26.000 --> 1:59:29.680 Yeah, Cja Ford says robots. I prefer them over children 1:59:29.720 --> 1:59:31.520 on flights like this. Let us know what you think. Said, 1:59:31.520 --> 1:59:33.040 it's a dispatch. We'll get to that. 1:59:33.120 --> 1:59:34.840 I put it up on see it, take a look. 1:59:34.840 --> 1:59:36.200 Go take a look at that. Go check it out 1:59:36.240 --> 1:59:37.720 on the news junkie dot com and to see it 1:59:37.760 --> 1:59:41.240 now action I quick break back with a pop that's 1:59:41.280 --> 2:00:00.120 coming up next on the News Junkie. Man. 2:00:00.000 --> 2:00:03.280 I know about this hat idea we talked about. I 2:00:03.320 --> 2:00:05.720 went on Amazon and I was looking and I go, 2:00:06.720 --> 2:00:09.400 I know, you know how you can try things on 2:00:09.400 --> 2:00:10.840 on Amazon Sometimes. 2:00:11.120 --> 2:00:13.680 I was looking at that and I go, I don't know, 2:00:14.320 --> 2:00:16.440 try it on, Like you give him your picture and 2:00:16.480 --> 2:00:18.120 it shows you a picture of you and the hat. 2:00:18.480 --> 2:00:23.920 Yeah, you know, we were talking earlier about a potential 2:00:24.160 --> 2:00:25.480 dumbest bit idea in the world. 2:00:25.480 --> 2:00:27.520 It's so stupid. But just for the live stream, we 2:00:27.520 --> 2:00:31.480 were talking about how what's his name from Greece. Uh, 2:00:31.600 --> 2:00:35.120 John Travolta. John Travolta rocked a new look when he 2:00:35.160 --> 2:00:38.080 went to the Con Film Festival, and your friends have 2:00:38.120 --> 2:00:41.440 done this at some point. What directors look like? He said, 2:00:41.440 --> 2:00:43.800 He googled what directors look like. So he was wearing 2:00:43.840 --> 2:00:45.840 this beret off the side of his head and these 2:00:45.880 --> 2:00:49.800 little like spectacle glasses. And everybody goes, what's going on 2:00:49.840 --> 2:00:52.280 with John Travolta, And he's like, I googled what a 2:00:52.320 --> 2:00:55.000 director should look like, and I dressed like a director. 2:00:55.120 --> 2:01:00.400 Now I'm at Con and I said, uh, just embrace baby. 2:01:00.400 --> 2:01:01.240 What are you doing man? 2:01:01.960 --> 2:01:04.880 And we talked about on on Friday on the stream 2:01:04.960 --> 2:01:08.800 dumbest idea ever, I said, if Ceilane, because Ceilian says 2:01:08.880 --> 2:01:12.120 he wishes he could pull off a conductor hat, I. 2:01:12.080 --> 2:01:14.200 Think he has to pull it off. I just the 2:01:14.200 --> 2:01:17.400 the it's not about pulling it off, it's about having 2:01:17.400 --> 2:01:20.120 one that fits me. Well, yeah it's you, but you 2:01:20.160 --> 2:01:23.560 said you have at least one, if not my And 2:01:23.600 --> 2:01:26.080 when his wife is not home said, he sometimes puts 2:01:26.080 --> 2:01:29.640 the conductor hats on. And I mean, you make this 2:01:29.760 --> 2:01:32.879 sound like it's some weird kink. I'm not saying it's sexual. 2:01:32.960 --> 2:01:35.600 I'm just saying, this is a strange thing, and so 2:01:35.600 --> 2:01:37.640 Ceilane wants to pull it off. And I said, if 2:01:37.680 --> 2:01:40.400 you wear a train conductor hat on Friday for the 2:01:40.400 --> 2:01:44.840 live stream, I will one order a beret and I'll 2:01:44.920 --> 2:01:46.280 rock a beret. 2:01:46.760 --> 2:01:49.720 And then I looked at what I look and I go, oh, no, 2:01:51.120 --> 2:01:53.520 I don't know about this. Do you have the picture? 2:01:53.600 --> 2:01:56.720 I want to see it. I'm not showing you. No, Yeah, 2:01:56.760 --> 2:01:59.920 come on, no, I just did. It was like augmentedary. 2:02:00.480 --> 2:02:02.120 Do you want the Power Hour to suck or do 2:02:02.120 --> 2:02:04.000 you want it to be like a good Power Hour? 2:02:06.240 --> 2:02:07.840 I would if you want to see it, you maybe 2:02:07.840 --> 2:02:09.840 see it on Friday if we actually locked this in. 2:02:10.320 --> 2:02:11.960 But we do have to drag Josh with us. If 2:02:12.000 --> 2:02:14.240 he's gonna be joining us on Friday, I think he yeah, 2:02:14.280 --> 2:02:16.320 he has to be in on this too. He's definitely 2:02:16.360 --> 2:02:17.760 gonna be. You have to have to be in on this. 2:02:18.360 --> 2:02:21.400 So that's that's floating around out there right now. Let's 2:02:21.400 --> 2:02:25.000 do the Power Hour. They said it couldn't be done. 2:02:26.640 --> 2:02:28.320 Then they said, now let me tell you about peepe 2:02:28.360 --> 2:02:30.720 poopo man, peepee poo poo man, peepe poop Boom Man, 2:02:30.760 --> 2:02:34.080 Peepee poop poo Man, notorious vagrant known as peepee poopoo Man, 2:02:34.160 --> 2:02:36.480 the peepe poop poo Man, the poop poop peepee Man, 2:02:36.520 --> 2:02:38.800 or the peepee poop poo Man, the peepee poopoo Man. 2:02:38.840 --> 2:02:45.000 He's the peepee poopoo Man, the peepee poo Man. It's 2:02:45.120 --> 2:02:49.880 time for the Power Hour on the News junky. I 2:02:49.880 --> 2:02:51.480 think that covers every time you said it. 2:02:51.960 --> 2:02:57.320 Let the record reflect when they ask when that, when 2:02:57.360 --> 2:03:00.840 the experts ask what was the decline in of Sean 2:03:00.880 --> 2:03:03.080 Watson's career, just say that. 2:03:03.040 --> 2:03:05.560 It was a peep boopo man. Because I walked out 2:03:05.600 --> 2:03:08.120 of the studio yesterday after that on the show, and 2:03:08.160 --> 2:03:11.320 when I walked into the kitchen court and he goes, 2:03:11.840 --> 2:03:16.200 peepee poopoo Man, Huh, all right, what's what's going on 2:03:16.360 --> 2:03:20.040 from there? And I said, you know, I don't have 2:03:20.080 --> 2:03:23.120 an answer for that. Necessarily, I don't. I don't know 2:03:23.120 --> 2:03:24.160 if I have an answer for that. 2:03:24.400 --> 2:03:27.160 A couple of emails coming in Jeremy emails tips at 2:03:27.160 --> 2:03:30.400 the Newsjunkie dot com. He's talking about that clip of 2:03:30.440 --> 2:03:34.320 the woman yelling at the mailman who walked across her lawn. 2:03:34.480 --> 2:03:36.760 She said, get off my grass, and he said what 2:03:37.320 --> 2:03:38.800 And they got into it a little bit and he 2:03:38.880 --> 2:03:41.280 threw her mail on the lawn. He was angry at 2:03:41.280 --> 2:03:43.880 her and they got into a fight. Jeremy said, I 2:03:43.960 --> 2:03:46.120 just had this happen to me on my Amazon wrap. 2:03:46.600 --> 2:03:49.440 A guy came out yelling about his grass and I 2:03:49.600 --> 2:03:51.800 laughed at him and he lost his mind. 2:03:52.520 --> 2:03:55.400 I just told him to have a nice day. He replied, 2:03:55.440 --> 2:03:59.960 go f yourself. And Jeremy says, that guy can't get 2:04:00.120 --> 2:04:05.720 Amazon packages anymore. Oh, do you have that kind of 2:04:05.960 --> 2:04:09.240 power over somebody who's a jerk when you're delivering stuff? 2:04:10.360 --> 2:04:13.360 Like you can't get Amazon anymore? Bud? All right? 2:04:13.720 --> 2:04:17.960 You know, well, welcome back to nineteen ninety eight. Have fun, friend, 2:04:18.200 --> 2:04:20.040 you can't order anything on Amazon. 2:04:20.360 --> 2:04:23.720 I don't know. I think, first of all, it would 2:04:23.800 --> 2:04:27.280 have to be a confrontation with an actual Amazon employee, 2:04:27.360 --> 2:04:30.040 which is not hard because most of the Amazon packages 2:04:30.400 --> 2:04:33.680 are delivered by Amazon employees, some of them outsourced to 2:04:34.360 --> 2:04:41.360 the Postal Service or FedEx ups. Maybe, but I think 2:04:41.440 --> 2:04:47.840 right now you at least have one backup that is 2:04:48.000 --> 2:04:51.840 similar enough, that is trying to come after a chunk 2:04:51.880 --> 2:04:56.720 of Amazon's customer base, as that is crazy. That is Walmart. 2:04:56.840 --> 2:05:01.880 The Walmart Walmart Plus is kind of making some strides 2:05:02.440 --> 2:05:05.920 in taking some of that Amazon money. But I mean, 2:05:06.360 --> 2:05:09.920 if I were to get into it with an Amazon 2:05:10.000 --> 2:05:12.760 worker in such a way that my house was banned 2:05:12.800 --> 2:05:15.640 from receiving Amazon packages, I don't know what my wife 2:05:15.640 --> 2:05:20.280 would do. She would, yeah, she would be severely pissed 2:05:20.280 --> 2:05:23.200 at me. And I wonder if she wouldn't try to 2:05:23.360 --> 2:05:26.440 send all her packages to one of our neighbors houses 2:05:26.800 --> 2:05:30.680 and just get them get them from from them. Abe says, 2:05:30.720 --> 2:05:32.280 you got you could get forced to pick it up 2:05:32.280 --> 2:05:34.640 from a locker, so you just have to go to 2:05:34.720 --> 2:05:37.080 like the Oh so you still can. You still can 2:05:37.200 --> 2:05:39.320 order Amazon packages, but they always have to put it 2:05:39.320 --> 2:05:42.040 in the Amazon locker. That's actually kind of smarter on 2:05:42.080 --> 2:05:45.440 the point of Amazon, like the locker of shame. Like you, 2:05:45.680 --> 2:05:47.480 we won't deliver it to your house anymore because you're 2:05:47.480 --> 2:05:50.120 such a jerk. So you have to go to the 2:05:50.400 --> 2:05:52.959 locker and put it. People put in the little code 2:05:53.040 --> 2:05:56.400 and there you go. That's a big punishment. I don't know. 2:05:56.480 --> 2:05:59.200 I mean, I I happened to look at my bank 2:05:59.240 --> 2:06:03.280 account yesterday or the day before, and when I looked 2:06:03.320 --> 2:06:07.280 at it. I said, well, what's this and I wrose, Oh, 2:06:07.440 --> 2:06:13.080 my Amazon Prime went through. And I didn't realize that 2:06:13.280 --> 2:06:15.000 Amazon Prime was. 2:06:15.560 --> 2:06:16.760 Up to the level that it is. 2:06:17.760 --> 2:06:21.240 I think it was well over one hundred dollars Amazon 2:06:21.320 --> 2:06:25.800 Prime yearly costs. I'll figure it out, one hundred and 2:06:25.840 --> 2:06:29.080 thirty nine. I think the charge that I was hit 2:06:29.120 --> 2:06:32.080 with that I looked at was one hundred and fifty 2:06:32.200 --> 2:06:35.280 six dollars, and I thought, boy, that's you know, that's 2:06:35.360 --> 2:06:39.680 not an insignificant amount of money for your year Prime subscription. 2:06:40.160 --> 2:06:42.680 I barely even use all the extra stuff they give me. 2:06:43.280 --> 2:06:45.040 You know, they give you, like music, you listen to 2:06:45.080 --> 2:06:47.760 Amazon Music as a result of your Prime stuff they 2:06:47.800 --> 2:06:50.760 give you Amazon Prime, like all the on demand videos 2:06:50.760 --> 2:06:51.240 that you can watch. 2:06:51.280 --> 2:06:53.760 I barely ever use any of that. I don't really 2:06:53.880 --> 2:06:56.000 use those services, even though I'm paying for them. 2:06:56.120 --> 2:06:56.240 Right. 2:06:56.720 --> 2:06:59.080 I pay for the fast shipping and I use a 2:06:59.120 --> 2:07:00.640 lot of it, and I'm I save a lot of 2:07:00.680 --> 2:07:03.960 money on Amazon. But one hundred and fifty six dollars 2:07:04.080 --> 2:07:06.720 per year is no small amount of money. 2:07:06.800 --> 2:07:10.040 I use the I use the music a little bit 2:07:10.640 --> 2:07:14.440 when it like defaults to Amazon Music when I when 2:07:14.440 --> 2:07:17.360 I put on my shower, jams when I'm getting ready. 2:07:17.760 --> 2:07:21.880 But no, Like as far as Amazon Video, It's like 2:07:22.400 --> 2:07:25.680 I was talking with Jimmy about this last week when 2:07:25.880 --> 2:07:28.040 I sat on his show, and we're like, listen to 2:07:28.120 --> 2:07:31.320 Amazon Prime thing. The Prime video comes with Prime. I'm 2:07:31.360 --> 2:07:34.000 not gonna you know, if we're trying to like axe 2:07:34.280 --> 2:07:37.480 streaming services to save money, well, I can't ask that 2:07:37.480 --> 2:07:40.120 one because that would be getting rid of Amazon Prime delivery. 2:07:40.120 --> 2:07:42.920 And that's what we need. That's the that's the service there. 2:07:42.960 --> 2:07:47.120 The video streaming is just kind of a an ad on. Yeah, 2:07:47.200 --> 2:07:50.280 it's like an extra and and more more so than not. 2:07:51.120 --> 2:07:54.200 My wife and I look at what's offered on Amazon 2:07:54.280 --> 2:07:57.080 Prime because they have some of the newer movies out 2:07:57.160 --> 2:08:00.240 that still cause like twenty bucks to rent, and we go, oh, 2:08:00.320 --> 2:08:03.560 that will be a good thing to download. Yeah. Every 2:08:03.600 --> 2:08:04.960 once in a while we'll do that and we'll go, 2:08:05.000 --> 2:08:07.120 oh we could get this movie for free. Here we go. Yeah. 2:08:07.240 --> 2:08:09.480 Rachel on YouTube says, gosh, I'm so glad our household 2:08:09.520 --> 2:08:11.480 does not rely on Amazon so much waste. 2:08:11.680 --> 2:08:12.200 That's true. 2:08:12.360 --> 2:08:14.360 I mean, look, a lot of people's a lot of money. 2:08:14.400 --> 2:08:17.200 That's why Bezos got the big ass boat. That's why 2:08:17.240 --> 2:08:20.880 I turned from a website selling books to Amazon A 2:08:21.040 --> 2:08:23.840 to Z you know, selling everything under the sun. That's 2:08:23.880 --> 2:08:27.000 why it's turned into this bohemoth because the truth of 2:08:27.080 --> 2:08:32.680 the matter is people are inherently lazy. The best, smartest 2:08:32.760 --> 2:08:36.400 businesses are not built because people have the biggest brains 2:08:36.400 --> 2:08:36.800 in the world. 2:08:36.880 --> 2:08:41.080 You just have to realize simple human motivations, all right. 2:08:41.480 --> 2:08:45.760 The simple human motivation is that people are lazy. So 2:08:45.880 --> 2:08:49.000 the business idea is deliver everything right to their door 2:08:49.120 --> 2:08:50.680 so they don't have to go shopping and make a 2:08:50.720 --> 2:08:53.680 whole bunch of money off of it. The basic human 2:08:54.440 --> 2:08:57.440 knowledge that you pull from this is humans are lazy. 2:08:57.640 --> 2:09:00.920 So the business idea is their food. Okay, somebody else 2:09:01.000 --> 2:09:03.280 is selling them books and stuff their food. Let's bring 2:09:03.320 --> 2:09:07.120 their food directly to them. Billion dollar business humans are lazy. 2:09:07.160 --> 2:09:09.800 They don't even want to drive themselves. Uber. You know, 2:09:09.880 --> 2:09:12.920 all of these are billion dollar business ideas that are 2:09:12.960 --> 2:09:15.800 based on the idea, in the most simplest of ways, 2:09:15.840 --> 2:09:20.640 that humans are intrinsically lazy individuals. We are, and we 2:09:20.720 --> 2:09:22.640 spend a bunch of money on all this stuff, most 2:09:22.680 --> 2:09:24.400 of it we don't need, so you're not wrong about that. 2:09:24.920 --> 2:09:26.280 But if you are spending it, you might as well 2:09:26.280 --> 2:09:29.160 get the most out of it. I certainly don't. This 2:09:29.240 --> 2:09:31.200 is an email coming in from PU, who says to 2:09:31.320 --> 2:09:33.720 Tips at the news Junkie dot com, Hey, Sean, I 2:09:33.760 --> 2:09:35.600 wanted to give my two cents on what I see. 2:09:35.640 --> 2:09:37.280 What I want to see make a comeback. You were 2:09:37.280 --> 2:09:41.520 talking about Pizza Hut and their buffets making a comeback, 2:09:41.800 --> 2:09:44.480 and then somebody wanted Blockbuster video to come back, which 2:09:44.520 --> 2:09:48.720 you said didn't make any sense. Arcades, real arcades, not 2:09:48.800 --> 2:09:51.440 these Dave and Busters type arcades. Are the arcades we 2:09:51.480 --> 2:09:54.600 have now, but the ones that have actual arcade games 2:09:54.640 --> 2:09:58.200 to play, and not games that are RNNG or giving 2:09:58.320 --> 2:10:02.920 tickets to redeem it counters for rewards RNG. I don't 2:10:02.960 --> 2:10:06.520 know what that means RNG, it says r N letters RG. 2:10:07.000 --> 2:10:09.080 I'm gonna miss arcades and just enjoying an hour or 2:10:09.160 --> 2:10:12.160 so of playing fighting games Time Crisis and the like, 2:10:12.480 --> 2:10:16.520 says P. I don't know that game. But randomly number 2:10:16.640 --> 2:10:21.879 generator arcade games represent a unique hybrid of luck grinding 2:10:21.920 --> 2:10:26.000 and idle gaming. Instead of relying on player skills or reflexes, 2:10:26.080 --> 2:10:28.280 you simply push a button to pull a lever to 2:10:28.320 --> 2:10:31.760 trigger a randomized role that awards rare items, effects or 2:10:31.840 --> 2:10:37.400 character cards. I think maybe they say there's like different 2:10:37.480 --> 2:10:41.360 roadblocks things that are RNG. There are places that still 2:10:41.400 --> 2:10:44.160 have the video games in arcade games, though right don't. 2:10:44.160 --> 2:10:49.120 Some bars have them now some there are some bars 2:10:49.160 --> 2:10:53.280 that like specialize in arcade games. There was one downtown 2:10:53.320 --> 2:10:56.360 that I don't think is open anymore. There's one out 2:10:56.600 --> 2:11:00.320 by the Disney area, the Player one or something like that. 2:11:00.480 --> 2:11:03.480 There's there's a couple of them, but I think by 2:11:03.560 --> 2:11:06.960 and large, like I don't know, I think they all 2:11:07.000 --> 2:11:11.680 have that model where it's kind of like well, instead 2:11:11.720 --> 2:11:14.400 of instead of like pumping in quarters to it, it's 2:11:14.440 --> 2:11:16.680 either free or you have like your little card like 2:11:16.760 --> 2:11:20.840 Dave and Busters and you unlock certain things. I don't 2:11:20.840 --> 2:11:23.840 I've never heard of something being called RNG like a 2:11:23.960 --> 2:11:27.120 luck or skill game, but it's not. It's more luck 2:11:27.160 --> 2:11:30.120 than skill. But I know that like they always say 2:11:30.160 --> 2:11:33.720 the claw games where it's like, oh, you know, this 2:11:33.760 --> 2:11:36.240 guy's really good at the claw, well, like no that 2:11:36.280 --> 2:11:39.280 the Claw game only awards, you know, it only grabs 2:11:39.320 --> 2:11:44.600 hard enough every like so many plays, and that's configurable 2:11:44.720 --> 2:11:48.320 by either the arcade game vendor or the owner of 2:11:48.360 --> 2:11:52.640 the game or the owner of the venue, and like, 2:11:52.800 --> 2:11:56.720 if you really want to get the best bang for 2:11:56.760 --> 2:11:59.360 your buck out of those, you got to watch for 2:11:59.400 --> 2:12:01.400 a while and see how often it rewards, and then 2:12:01.440 --> 2:12:03.360 just figure out when to get in there and and 2:12:03.800 --> 2:12:06.240 nap the reward. It's not a skill game, and a 2:12:06.240 --> 2:12:08.800 lot of people think it is. It's it's it's hybrid, 2:12:08.840 --> 2:12:11.080 but it's it's more luck than skill. A lot of 2:12:11.080 --> 2:12:13.520 people know that Time Crisis game. He just randomly mentioned. 2:12:13.560 --> 2:12:14.560 I had never heard of that. What was it. Do 2:12:14.560 --> 2:12:18.200 you have a favorite arcade game? Did you ever play me? Yeah? 2:12:18.280 --> 2:12:22.120 I liked some of the driving ones. For whatever reason, 2:12:22.120 --> 2:12:24.720 I really liked Crazy Taxi back in the day. 2:12:25.040 --> 2:12:25.280 Yeah. 2:12:26.360 --> 2:12:28.880 There was two things about Crazy Taxi that made the 2:12:28.920 --> 2:12:32.400 game super fun. Like it was a little, uh, it 2:12:32.480 --> 2:12:34.879 was a little like, oh, it's a cool guy Taxi 2:12:34.920 --> 2:12:37.800 and we're gonna speed everywhere and run over stuff. But 2:12:38.200 --> 2:12:40.520 the two things that really got me was the sound 2:12:40.800 --> 2:12:44.520 The soundtrack of Crazy Taxi was all the offspring, and 2:12:44.560 --> 2:12:48.200 it was like it would randomly like start playing out 2:12:48.240 --> 2:12:50.440 loud to attract people to the game, like you would 2:12:50.480 --> 2:12:52.680 be in an arcade or in a bar that had 2:12:52.680 --> 2:12:55.400 this game, and you'd randomly hear like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 2:12:56.600 --> 2:12:59.440 you know the offspring's really And then when you play 2:12:59.560 --> 2:13:03.840 Crazy Taxi, it was like it was taking you to 2:13:03.920 --> 2:13:06.320 real places. So it was like, all right, this person 2:13:06.760 --> 2:13:09.320 is going to pay you seven dollars and she needs 2:13:09.360 --> 2:13:11.040 to go to pizza hut right now, and then you 2:13:11.080 --> 2:13:13.879 pull up to a pizza hut like it used banking 2:13:13.960 --> 2:13:17.240 off of that stuff, used real places and real logos, 2:13:17.320 --> 2:13:19.800 and for me, that made the game a little more 2:13:19.840 --> 2:13:22.320 real and a little more fun. Damn that was that 2:13:22.400 --> 2:13:25.400 was way ahead of its time, like a band putting 2:13:25.400 --> 2:13:29.200 an album soundtrack on it before Tony Hawk and all that, 2:13:29.800 --> 2:13:32.920 and then using product integration with actual companies. That was 2:13:33.000 --> 2:13:33.760 way ahead of its time. 2:13:33.920 --> 2:13:34.080 Huh. 2:13:34.400 --> 2:13:36.680 And it's like, I think a lot of people have 2:13:37.120 --> 2:13:40.920 forgotten Crazy Taxi. I don't think I ever played that one. 2:13:41.040 --> 2:13:41.560 Mine was. 2:13:41.720 --> 2:13:44.160 And before all you come in with why this is 2:13:44.200 --> 2:13:48.400 a bad choice, I understand. But my favorite arcade game 2:13:48.440 --> 2:13:50.360 of all time. I'll still play it to this day 2:13:50.400 --> 2:13:53.200 if I see it anywhere, And I'll tell you the 2:13:53.200 --> 2:13:56.920 the absolute top character in any video game, because it's 2:13:56.920 --> 2:14:01.160 in this one, the Simpsons arcade game. Okay, the Simpsons 2:14:01.280 --> 2:14:04.520 arcade game where you could be Marge Simpson and her 2:14:04.560 --> 2:14:08.440 weapon was the vacuum and she swing the vacuum around 2:14:08.520 --> 2:14:11.000 and hit the batties on the street and stuff. 2:14:11.080 --> 2:14:13.920 I kind of remember that that was the best man, 2:14:14.240 --> 2:14:17.280 and then I know that I would think that some 2:14:17.280 --> 2:14:21.320 people wouldn't consider this an arcade game. But the thing 2:14:21.400 --> 2:14:24.000 that I spent the most of my dad's money on 2:14:24.880 --> 2:14:28.480 was Megatuch. I played the hell out of Mega Touch. 2:14:28.560 --> 2:14:31.200 Mega Touch was my jam, and it was perfect for 2:14:31.320 --> 2:14:33.120 my dad. He could sit there at the bar and 2:14:33.200 --> 2:14:35.680 drink beers. I could pump all of his quarters into 2:14:35.680 --> 2:14:38.360 Mega Touch and play trivia, Twister or photo Hunt or 2:14:38.400 --> 2:14:41.320 any of the number of those games. And then maybe 2:14:41.360 --> 2:14:44.120 if I if I knew he wasn't paying attention, I 2:14:44.160 --> 2:14:48.800 would like, Oh, I accidentally slipped and hit the adult trivia. Oh. 2:14:52.160 --> 2:14:55.320 I don't think people realize there's still such a market 2:14:55.440 --> 2:14:58.640 for this kind of stuff. For instance, I looked up 2:14:58.680 --> 2:15:02.640 the other day, and maybe I can ask Tnjai about 2:15:02.640 --> 2:15:06.760 this real quick. I looked up because touch tunes is 2:15:07.680 --> 2:15:09.960 they basically have a monopoly, don't they. I'm like bar 2:15:10.120 --> 2:15:12.800 juke boxes, It's like touch tunes, and that's it. There 2:15:12.800 --> 2:15:16.720 are other similar bar jew boxes, but I think they 2:15:16.760 --> 2:15:20.200 pale in comparison to Touch Tunes because it's the known name 2:15:20.320 --> 2:15:25.960 brand and it's super easy when there's an app for 2:15:26.040 --> 2:15:31.680 it that uh, the same app works out every Touch Tunes. Yeah, 2:15:32.000 --> 2:15:34.240 just about every bar. Here's what I did. Hold on, 2:15:34.800 --> 2:15:40.560 let me ask Tnjai here, how much money does Touch Tunes, 2:15:40.680 --> 2:15:43.920 the jukebox company in bars and stuff? How much money 2:15:43.920 --> 2:15:50.200 does Touch Tunes make a year? Right? Oh, hold on, 2:15:50.720 --> 2:15:51.240 I can't hear it. 2:15:51.520 --> 2:15:54.880 It's like a public we traded firm wood. But industry 2:15:55.040 --> 2:15:58.080 estimates suggest they pull in a couple hundred million a 2:15:58.160 --> 2:16:03.280 year revenue sharing with bars and restaurants. It's substantial, but 2:16:03.520 --> 2:16:06.800 not on the billion dollar scale. If you need exact numbers, 2:16:06.880 --> 2:16:10.480 we'd have to rely on insider reports or an IPO filing. Sometimes. 2:16:10.520 --> 2:16:12.200 I think the story I saw said that they made 2:16:12.400 --> 2:16:15.640 four hundred and sixty or four hundred million dollars a year. 2:16:15.760 --> 2:16:19.680 I would be curious, though, are we talking profit like 2:16:19.800 --> 2:16:23.160 net profit? Because they bring in a bunch of money. 2:16:23.200 --> 2:16:27.080 But like like tj A I said, there's sharing with 2:16:27.160 --> 2:16:32.200 the bar yep, and then there's also the uh, the 2:16:32.240 --> 2:16:35.040 licensing for the music that they have to pay. Yep, yeah, no, 2:16:35.200 --> 2:16:38.160 and that's that's a decent sized chunk, I think. 2:16:38.280 --> 2:16:38.400 So. 2:16:38.560 --> 2:16:43.400 Yeah, that's another reason I think why it is very 2:16:44.040 --> 2:16:47.160 attractive for a bar to have a system like touch 2:16:47.200 --> 2:16:52.280 Tunes rather than your traditional jukebox. Because I had a 2:16:52.280 --> 2:16:58.000 friend that was going through like music school sounds a 2:16:58.000 --> 2:17:00.200 little primitive of a term, but he was going going 2:17:00.240 --> 2:17:03.440 through school for music production, and he was in a 2:17:03.480 --> 2:17:06.039 class where they were teaching about all the licensing things, 2:17:06.480 --> 2:17:09.120 and he was telling me that, like, when you pay 2:17:09.240 --> 2:17:14.680 for a BMI or ASKCAP license for performance at a bar, 2:17:15.560 --> 2:17:18.720 you're supposed to report every song that gets played. Oh 2:17:18.800 --> 2:17:23.560 my god, no one does that, right, I'm next to 2:17:23.640 --> 2:17:27.480 nobody does that unless you have a touch Tunes that 2:17:27.760 --> 2:17:30.840 just so happens to keep a record of every song 2:17:30.879 --> 2:17:33.560 that gets played and then you could easily upload that 2:17:33.640 --> 2:17:35.760 to your licenser and the right people get the right 2:17:35.800 --> 2:17:38.680 money for what got played in your bar. But like 2:17:38.760 --> 2:17:41.960 they the person who was like at the time, this 2:17:42.000 --> 2:17:43.879 person was chatting with me, they were going through the 2:17:43.920 --> 2:17:46.680 schooling and learning about all the licensing stuff, and I 2:17:46.840 --> 2:17:50.160 was literally playing guitar at bars and they were like, yeah, 2:17:50.520 --> 2:17:53.000 for you to play at a bar. The bar is 2:17:53.080 --> 2:17:57.760 supposed to pay BMI or ask cap fees, and somebody 2:17:58.520 --> 2:18:03.400 technically never happens to write down everything you play that 2:18:03.560 --> 2:18:06.560 list something like that list here it is. And I've 2:18:06.560 --> 2:18:09.720 told you before that I've seen like bars that would 2:18:09.760 --> 2:18:11.959 have local bands in like there would be more of 2:18:12.040 --> 2:18:15.240 kind of like a like a diveer live music bar, 2:18:15.400 --> 2:18:18.320 but it was like they hired local original bands and 2:18:18.360 --> 2:18:20.400 they would have little signs taped up on the stage. 2:18:20.440 --> 2:18:23.840 It's like, you cannot play commercial music here. We don't 2:18:23.840 --> 2:18:25.960 have the license for it. You can only play your 2:18:25.959 --> 2:18:28.480 own music. Well, thank you Pe for the email.

The reason I asked that question was because 2:18:33.520 --> 2:18:35.680 we were at a bar the other night and Courtney 2:18:35.840 --> 2:18:38.160 wanted to skip the line of people on a touch 2:18:38.160 --> 2:18:41.879 tunes and it was three dollars and fifty cents for 2:18:41.959 --> 2:18:45.119 one song to see.

As the next evolution of the screening 2:22:02.440 --> 2:22:07.040 partnership program, TSA Goldplus is a transformative upgrade to offer 2:22:07.120 --> 2:22:10.600 airports the opportunity to opt in to a public private 2:22:10.640 --> 2:22:13.039 screening model tailor to their unique needs. Okay, what do 2:22:13.080 --> 2:22:16.199 I get if I subscribe? 2:22:14.800 --> 2:22:17.520 What is yeah? 2:22:17.520 --> 2:22:21.160 What does it cost that airports can opt in? Well, 2:22:21.200 --> 2:22:24.560 this is the airport is not from people. Passengers shouldn 2:22:24.600 --> 2:22:26.879 see any major changes immediately, but the program's goal with 2:22:26.920 --> 2:22:30.280 the streamline airport security screenings while also reducing the federal 2:22:30.320 --> 2:22:33.920 agency's budget airports to implement the public private screenings will 2:22:33.959 --> 2:22:37.360 also be able to continue during government shutdowns since they 2:22:37.360 --> 2:22:40.640 don't depend solely on federal budget cycles. Oh so this 2:22:40.680 --> 2:22:44.240 is an opportunity to like keep tsa flowing even when 2:22:44.240 --> 2:22:47.439 you have these But how about this, you losers in Washington, 2:22:48.120 --> 2:22:50.480 how about we stop doing the never ending cycle of 2:22:50.520 --> 2:22:53.400 government shutdowns and you start making it so you have 2:22:53.480 --> 2:22:58.080 to approve four year budgets for terms. Okay, every single term. 2:22:58.360 --> 2:23:00.520 You need to approve a budget. You need to stay 2:23:00.560 --> 2:23:03.840 on the budget. You do not waste our taxpayer dollars, 2:23:03.879 --> 2:23:07.640 you losers, and stay on track and stay on target. 2:23:07.320 --> 2:23:09.080 And then you won't have to worry about this. This 2:23:09.160 --> 2:23:10.440 is like an end around. Man. 2:23:11.440 --> 2:23:13.440 I don't know if I like that, and it doesn't 2:23:13.440 --> 2:23:15.120 seem to do much for us. It's just like it's 2:23:15.120 --> 2:23:20.160 for airports, so they can have private screening when the 2:23:20.240 --> 2:23:24.240 government is out of business as it were. Okay, a 2:23:24.280 --> 2:23:27.080 couple other things here, some emails coming in that I 2:23:27.080 --> 2:23:31.080 want to read. Please keep me anonymous and I shall anonymous. 2:23:31.120 --> 2:23:34.120 Says good afternoon. Yesterday I was texting with a friend 2:23:34.160 --> 2:23:37.680 in New Hampshire, and my friend updated me. That updated 2:23:37.680 --> 2:23:40.720 me that she was bit in the neck by a 2:23:40.800 --> 2:23:45.960 tick and is being treated for her tick bite with doxycycling. 2:23:47.120 --> 2:23:48.640 It's a nightmare, she says. 2:23:49.280 --> 2:23:52.400 The people that get the meat allergy can eat genetically 2:23:52.440 --> 2:23:56.160 modified pigs that are used for organ transplants. But that's 2:23:56.200 --> 2:24:00.360 the only meat that won't make them sick. Says anonymous. Wow, 2:24:00.400 --> 2:24:01.160 that's weird. 2:24:02.080 --> 2:24:06.040 So if you have this weird alpha gu syndrome that 2:24:06.120 --> 2:24:09.640 comes on from these ticks, you could still eat genetically 2:24:09.680 --> 2:24:12.480 modified pigs and that's the only kind of meat that 2:24:12.640 --> 2:24:15.080 won't make you sick. I had not heard that before. 2:24:15.120 --> 2:24:18.480 It is all very strange but interesting, So thank you 2:24:18.560 --> 2:24:21.959 for that. A couple of people with dispatches. Let's see 2:24:22.000 --> 2:24:28.039 what we got here. Here is Swilly talking about Game 2:24:28.040 --> 2:24:31.279 of Magnets. All right, hey, everybody happy today. 2:24:31.320 --> 2:24:33.800 So the way I play Game of Magnets is every 2:24:33.840 --> 2:24:36.280 magnet that I've ever gotten gets at least twenty four 2:24:36.320 --> 2:24:39.320 hours on the back of my truck. That means events, 2:24:39.320 --> 2:24:42.560 exclusive magnets, that means secret shows magnets, that means first 2:24:42.640 --> 2:24:45.240 on the street magnets. They have all seen at least 2:24:45.280 --> 2:24:46.520 twenty four hours of play. 2:24:46.640 --> 2:24:47.000 I like that. 2:24:47.040 --> 2:24:49.520 If it's a harder to find design, normally i'll switch 2:24:49.520 --> 2:24:51.840 it out with something that I might have duplicates of. 2:24:52.240 --> 2:24:56.959 But unless I have been freshly burgled, there will always 2:24:57.000 --> 2:24:58.840 be a magnet of some caliber on the back of 2:24:58.840 --> 2:25:00.520 my truck, sometimes multiples. 2:25:00.680 --> 2:25:02.240 All right, thank you for that. 2:25:02.280 --> 2:25:06.480 Here's Paperman with a dispatch about about pepe poople Man. 2:25:08.200 --> 2:25:12.400 Just for the record, Pepee pooper Man is not funny. 2:25:12.920 --> 2:25:15.640 Let me tell you, somebody, you are in the minority 2:25:15.680 --> 2:25:18.560 on that. All right. That was that was a real story, 2:25:18.680 --> 2:25:23.440 first of all. Second of all, the song and clip 2:25:23.480 --> 2:25:26.480 did well, all right, people, people seem to enjoy it. Okay, 2:25:27.000 --> 2:25:32.840 he's not. He's not. There goes the He's going as 2:25:33.040 --> 2:25:39.880 fast as he can. He gets a bucket in his hand. 2:25:40.320 --> 2:25:46.280 He's a peep you know, Paperman, I'm with you, all right, 2:25:46.360 --> 2:25:51.720 it's fildish. It's amateur. What are we doing? When I 2:25:51.760 --> 2:25:56.800 cut that together the thing from earlier, yeah, I hated it. 2:25:57.440 --> 2:26:00.760 I was like, this, what am I doing? What is 2:26:00.879 --> 2:26:04.840 going on? This is what? This is so so stupid? 2:26:05.280 --> 2:26:08.600 It's funny because it's embarrassing as broadcasters. Yeah, then when 2:26:08.640 --> 2:26:15.320 we played it, I was like, yeah, the thing all right, 2:26:15.320 --> 2:26:16.920 we're gonna take a quick break. That's what we're gonna 2:26:16.920 --> 2:26:19.000 do right now. All right, I'm sorry, but we're gonna 2:26:19.040 --> 2:26:21.160 do it. We're gonna take a quick break. When we 2:26:21.240 --> 2:26:25.400 come back, we're going to do the final dispatches these 2:26:25.440 --> 2:26:28.240 stories that didn't make the cut. And today I learned 2:26:28.240 --> 2:26:31.160 to wrap everything up for a share the show Tuesday 2:26:31.440 --> 2:26:48.160 that is coming up next on the News Junkie. 2:26:49.760 --> 2:26:54.040 Don't forget secret shows coming up on Thursday.

We have just a little bit of time. 2:27:11.800 --> 2:27:14.200 John says, if people with that tick disease can only 2:27:14.200 --> 2:27:17.560 eat genetically modified pigs meant for human organs, would it 2:27:17.600 --> 2:27:20.119 not follow that people with that tick disease could always 2:27:20.160 --> 2:27:21.200 also eat humans. 2:27:22.000 --> 2:27:24.920 I don't know.

We're keeping 2:27:39.400 --> 2:27:40.840 an eye on the ebola stuff. 2:27:40.959 --> 2:27:45.080 It looks like ebola has replaced the hantavirus a haunt 2:27:45.120 --> 2:27:47.760 of virus in headline. That one's kind of fading away already, 2:27:47.760 --> 2:27:48.439 as expected. 2:27:48.800 --> 2:27:52.400 American doctor test positive for ebola in the Democratic Republic 2:27:52.440 --> 2:27:52.920 of Congo. 2:27:53.360 --> 2:27:55.240 So there you are.
