Speaker 1: what happens?
Speaker 2: What I gotta tell you.
Speaker 3: I was so surprised, so taken aback when I saw
Speaker 3: there was a last minute message right before the show,
Speaker 3: and it appears to be from Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 2: Let's see what he had to say.
Speaker 1: A great Friday. We did it, everybody. We made our
Speaker 1: way through Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday has arrived. Patch
Speaker 1: yourself on the back. I knew you could do it.
Speaker 1: They said you couldn't do it. But I knew you could.
Speaker 1: Here you are.
Speaker 2: Today on a Friday. We're gonna have some fun.
Speaker 1: We're gonna enjoy ourselves. How you guys doing on a Friday?
Speaker 1: I'm good. Yeah. Can you believe it's been a week
Speaker 1: since the live broadcast?
Speaker 3: Oh no, not really, No, No, it's kind of been
Speaker 3: chaos over here.
Speaker 1: So yeah, like you think it's been longer, or do
Speaker 1: you think it's been shorter. I'm just totally lost in time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what day it is. Half the time.
Speaker 1: I was driving in to work today and I was
Speaker 1: like one week ago right now. Sean was hovering over
Speaker 1: our shoulders, going forty two minutes and we're two minutes
Speaker 1: to shout time pressure, but nifty three. But it's still showtime.
Speaker 1: Thank god I was, because otherwise it would have been
Speaker 1: a catastrophe. And now it's being called the greatest live broadcast.
Speaker 1: Some people say, here we go, let's put her ears
Speaker 1: to the ground, our fingers of the poles, Let's see
Speaker 1: what's happened to this great, big, wide world of ours.
Speaker 1: I can tell you it's either really.
Speaker 3: Hot or really storming in the United States of America,
Speaker 3: and it's hitting everybody, even the fine folks over on
Speaker 3: CNN where a lady got scared during her CNN broadcast.
Speaker 4: Here she is WEUS military is not currently conducting strikes
Speaker 4: in Iran. My gosh, really bad. A lot of questions
Speaker 4: for the White House.
Speaker 3: I think she said strikes right as the lightning strike
Speaker 3: hit in the background. That's where you feel like you
Speaker 3: did something one more time.
Speaker 4: US military is not currently conducting strikes in Iran. My gosh,
Speaker 4: billy bad. But a lot of questions for the White House.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: One of the things that I have just absolutely come
Speaker 3: to terms with as a grown adult living in the
Speaker 3: United States of America is when you are a kid,
Speaker 3: you have zero fear of storms and lightning and thunder
Speaker 3: and all of that good stuff that comes along with it.
Speaker 3: And when you are an adult, every year that goes by,
Speaker 3: you get more scared of the lightning strikes.
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
Speaker 3: That's Maybe that's just me, maybe yourself. I could it
Speaker 3: could be a me thing, Josh, it could be. But
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, every year that goes by, I'm like, oh, man,
Speaker 3: like will be outside a little.
Speaker 2: Bit of lightning. I'll go this is no joke, man.
Speaker 3: You can easily get caught up in a storm like
Speaker 3: this next thing, you know, rip me.
Speaker 1: And I don't want that to be the case, at
Speaker 1: least not yet. I'm not done. You don't think lightning
Speaker 1: strike Hell no, I don't have it in me Steland.
Speaker 1: It's like a little baby. Lightning strike might take me out.
Speaker 1: Could be the tiniest storm ever, no storm clouds or anything.
Speaker 1: So I got to be very careful. And if it's
Speaker 1: not the storms, the heat rolls through. It's so hot
Speaker 1: out there. A meteorologist issued his first ever swamp ass
Speaker 1: warning for the entire state of what I think I
Speaker 1: said it without stuttering. But take a look if you
Speaker 1: need to. There's a swamp ass warning. The gator. The
Speaker 1: gator with some short is not This is not like
Speaker 1: a TV meteorologist. Yeah, this is a real guy, Matt Duvit,
Speaker 1: Matt Devitt WX. It does seem quite a bit like that,
Speaker 1: doesn't what TV station.
Speaker 2: Does Matt Devot work for? I don't know.
Speaker 1: But he's got a suit and tie in his PfP.
Speaker 1: So that seems legit. I think it says seems legit
Speaker 1: from it says meteorologist in Florida, and it says swamp
Speaker 1: ass warning.
Speaker 2: Florida heat index for the next.
Speaker 1: Three days, no local over the air TV station issuing
Speaker 1: a damn swamp ass warning.
Speaker 3: You know why, because they're all cowards. If they did,
Speaker 3: if some meteorologists went on TV and he was like,
Speaker 3: y'all swamp ass warning today, the chances that your thighs
Speaker 3: and ass cheeks are gonna be rubbing together in a
Speaker 3: very uncomfortable way are through the roof right now.
Speaker 6: So this guy, I think, used to be employed in
Speaker 6: Fort Myers and right now he's a free agent because
Speaker 6: everything he posts just says Matt Devitt Weather Upward.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, channel would yeah.
Speaker 3: Well see, there's a lot of room for social media,
Speaker 3: whether people, I guess these days, although what are the
Speaker 3: top comments is blocked and unfollowed, whether as fear propaganda
Speaker 3: is pathetic, and he said, good grief, laugh a little by,
Speaker 3: and I think fear propaganda.
Speaker 1: I'm this is a joke. Like I look, I get
Speaker 1: like the heat index stuff is sort of a little
Speaker 1: bit feury and you know, kind of a more new
Speaker 1: thing from the last thirty years or so. I wonder
Speaker 1: is this ai or did he find or seek out
Speaker 1: a picture of a gator with sweaty butt cheeks.
Speaker 2: No shot, he aied this.
Speaker 3: This is a gator looking back over his shoulder with
Speaker 3: short shorts on, sweaty butt cheeks, and a full on
Speaker 3: swamp ass warning. So it's hot out there. It's hot
Speaker 3: in every single state in the Union right now. It's
Speaker 3: hot in New York, it's hot in California, It's cod
Speaker 3: all of them, Hawaii, all of them. Maybe Guam. Just
Speaker 3: do a Guam check if we can. What is Guam
Speaker 3: looking like weather wise today? I just want to check
Speaker 3: all of our territories. I know Puerto Rico's hot as hell.
Speaker 3: They're right there.
Speaker 6: They're like, it's eighty two degrees in Guam right now.
Speaker 6: They got it good.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: Better than we are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's better than we are here.
Speaker 3: But we have few resources when it gets this hot,
Speaker 3: other than the air conditioning we have over the French.
Speaker 3: We've got that going on, but we do have some
Speaker 3: other things. Now, if you are in a place where
Speaker 3: you happen to have beaches, have no fear when the
Speaker 3: warm weather comes. You dive near the pier as they say,
Speaker 3: that's a legendary, legendary slogan, and you go out there,
Speaker 3: you go to the ocean, you enjoy yourself. In California,
Speaker 3: it's hot. People are going to the beach. Let's check
Speaker 3: in on them before we get into all the drama
Speaker 3: and everything else. On a Friday, at least they're enjoying
Speaker 3: the beaches.
Speaker 7: Millions pack La County beaches to escape the heat. Signs
Speaker 7: are up along some of the coast warning of high
Speaker 7: bacteria levels associated with fecal contamination.
Speaker 1: Oh no, smelled something walking up. But when you're in California,
Speaker 1: just ignoying it.
Speaker 2: This family from Buffalo visit.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Just I smell California? You just
Speaker 1: the poop smell?
Speaker 3: Is that the rep for California right now, like literally, like,
Speaker 3: you know, I smelled something coming up, But California does
Speaker 3: smell like feces, as we all know. The Chinese guy
Speaker 3: comes by no longer smells. But for most people this
Speaker 3: is something I guess you're getting used to.
Speaker 1: When you get off the plane at LAX, they're like,
Speaker 1: thank you for visiting beautiful Los Angeles. If you think
Speaker 1: you smell poop, No you didn't, it was no, it
Speaker 1: was don't tell anybody. Don't post that on social media.
Speaker 3: So they try to go to the beach to cool
Speaker 3: off in this house, Santa Monica Pear.
Speaker 7: Now, avoiding the water swimming wasn't in the plan for today.
Speaker 1: There are signs out here there. It was hot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was for at least some of these people.
Speaker 3: They got signs and it says like, hey, it's got
Speaker 3: the swimmer with the waves drawn on and the line
Speaker 3: through it, like hey, don't go swimming here.
Speaker 1: And people are just ignoring them. A bunch of us.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are seeing them. What does that
Speaker 1: mean exactly?
Speaker 8: Like here's mucky on the toilet for a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yees, yeah, she's out. The lady with a mom
Speaker 1: and hats like see you later. I'm out of here,
Speaker 1: go do my mom and somewhere else.
Speaker 3: This this guy, I guess, has just been swimming in
Speaker 3: the feces water in California and he didn't know.
Speaker 2: And they had it on live TV.
Speaker 3: They or during the report at least they're like, come
Speaker 3: over here, look at the signs.
Speaker 2: See what this is.
Speaker 1: But it's nice.
Speaker 7: Blake Sefferson had been swimming that's valve until we showed
Speaker 7: him the warning.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I'm not getting back in. That's disgusting, right,
Speaker 1: He covered it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to back in there. We just
Speaker 2: saw you.
Speaker 3: They literally just ran b roll of Blake in the
Speaker 3: water with the water going up over your head. Blake,
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, we all know what's going on here.
Speaker 7: Had been swimming that's vouve until we showed him the warning.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I'm not getting back in that's disgusting. Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, six hundred and fifty thousand gastrow and testing all
Speaker 4: diseases attributed to swimming in this water right here annually.
Speaker 7: Ashley Olsen with the California Coastal Alliance regularly test ocean water.
Speaker 1: Pretty cool, Ashley, I guess you I made a job
Speaker 1: out of this, so she fashion wasn't working out.
Speaker 3: She has a little collection of the ocean water things
Speaker 3: and she tests them. Some of them look quite dark.
Speaker 3: I have to tell you a lot of poop water
Speaker 3: going on there that.
Speaker 1: Have made a whole lot more money if you would
Speaker 1: have just said yes to Fuller House. Probably she looks
Speaker 1: a little bit like ocean water.
Speaker 5: You can smell it right now.
Speaker 1: You can smell smells like poop.
Speaker 7: She says, what ends up on our beaches can come
Speaker 7: from miles away. Great Box eleven has previously reported on
Speaker 7: potion concerns across the area, from the Boyle Heights warehouse fire.
Speaker 1: To herbicides sprayed into water, some kind of poison in
Speaker 1: that they showed them. First of all, the first thing
Speaker 1: the report shows, folks, is when the hobos were living
Speaker 1: underneath the streets, in the manholes, in the sewers, And
Speaker 1: they showed that, and they're like, it could be coming
Speaker 1: from miles away. Is it coming from the sewers, Is
Speaker 1: it coming from the like the pesticides, or are people
Speaker 1: literally pooping in the water.
Speaker 2: Is that the case?
Speaker 3: Because that you might not want to believe it happens,
Speaker 3: but it does sometimes. They have got many theories as
Speaker 3: to why this is a curraz.
Speaker 7: And a has Matt clean out from an encampment inside
Speaker 7: an LA City storm drain everything that's.
Speaker 4: On our street, all the trash, all the poop is
Speaker 4: going down our storm drains indirectly untreated onto our beaches
Speaker 4: and into the ocean.
Speaker 9: So why.
Speaker 1: Can we stop.
Speaker 2: Guy bookeyboarding right into the poop water?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 2: I love how we just say things like this.
Speaker 1: It's like everything in the sewers, the lady living in
Speaker 1: her own filth, her wastewater, all of the poop, you know,
Speaker 1: as you might imagine, we just dump that, completely untreated
Speaker 1: into the beach. Now, you might know from listening to
Speaker 1: this show, I'm not like some beatnik, you know, earth loving,
Speaker 1: huggin type person.
Speaker 3: I'm not some environmentalist. This is not the type of
Speaker 3: person I am. However, I do, legit think we should
Speaker 3: take care of the country, we should take care of
Speaker 3: the planet. We should make sure we're not dumping stuff
Speaker 3: into the ocean. We should make sure our beaches and
Speaker 3: rivers are clean and beautiful.
Speaker 2: And maybe that makes me a hippie. If so, I'm
Speaker 2: a hippie.
Speaker 3: But when I look at this and I go, we're
Speaker 3: just dumping this stuff in the ocean so it's hot,
Speaker 3: and then you can't even go into the ocean because
Speaker 3: it's full of poop.
Speaker 2: This is the life. The only way to fix it.
Speaker 3: For those of you that know, we have so many
Speaker 3: things to get into today, we want.
Speaker 1: To hear from you.
Speaker 3: You can join us with emails, of course, I'll get
Speaker 3: to a couple of those in a moment or dispatches
Speaker 3: record years over on the news junkie dot com or
Speaker 3: the app links to that. Also on the website. A
Speaker 3: couple of emails coming in. Here is Karra to Tips
Speaker 3: at the Newsjunkie dot com. She's talking about lightning storms.
Speaker 3: Strangely enough, Kara says, Hello, Sean, just listening to you
Speaker 3: in West Palm Beach. Recently, I decided that I needed
Speaker 3: to take a shower. It's a strange way to start
Speaker 3: an email, Kara.
Speaker 1: Kara, seven days is too much. I've got to do it.
Speaker 1: She says, I saw a lightning flash. Just so happy
Speaker 1: to be while it was storming out.
Speaker 3: I saw a lightning flash and immediately there was a
Speaker 3: huge thunder. My foot just so happened to be on
Speaker 3: the drain, and I most definitely got shocked from the
Speaker 3: lightning it came up through the drain. She says, Luckily
Speaker 3: was just a shock. It was scary for sure, and
Speaker 3: I will not be showering while it's storming out again,
Speaker 3: says Kara from North Palm Beach. Thank you for the email.
Speaker 3: Kevin emails about a rant on the show yesterday. Kevin says, hey, Sean,
Speaker 3: been listening since the five Am days. For those of
Speaker 3: you who are new, that was a long time ago,
Speaker 3: he said, love the show today. You went on a
Speaker 3: rant about humanities and social science degrees, specifically at Harvard.
Speaker 2: Quick pause in his email.
Speaker 3: This was because there's a story in the Atlantic called
Speaker 3: the End of Reading about how college kids I think
Speaker 3: thirty three percent of them, or so around thirty percent
Speaker 3: of them. These kids at Harvard, in particular, if they
Speaker 3: read three to five pages of anything, a book or report, whatever,
Speaker 3: they have no ability to distill that information. They've lost
Speaker 3: the ability to do this. They see reading as a
Speaker 3: waste of time. They think, why are you teaching us
Speaker 3: this way? Just teach us in Cliff's notes basically, and
Speaker 3: I said, not only is that bad, but it could
Speaker 3: be worse. Some of these kids are in the social
Speaker 3: sciences program because that's where one of the teachers were. Then,
Speaker 3: this is Kevin continuing on the email. Both of my
Speaker 3: kids graduated from Ivy League schools. My daughter graduated from
Speaker 3: UPenn with a degree in public policy with a focus
Speaker 3: on health. She lives in New York City and does
Speaker 3: very well. My son graduated from Harvard with a degree
Speaker 3: in linguistics. He then earned his law degree from the
Speaker 3: University of Michigan School of Law, one of the best
Speaker 3: law schools in the country. He's now working at the
Speaker 3: Public Defender's Office in Portland. Now, not everybody who attends
Speaker 3: an elite college is looking to make bank keep up
Speaker 3: the work, says Kevin.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure.
Speaker 2: Look, I'm just saying if I was going to give.
Speaker 3: People advice, first of all, I wouldn't say, just default
Speaker 3: go to college. I wouldn't say just by default you
Speaker 3: should just go to college.
Speaker 2: I think about what.
Speaker 3: You want to do, what's your goal, what's your mission,
Speaker 3: what's your journey in life, what do you want to do.
Speaker 3: It's tough to do as a young person, but I
Speaker 3: think you should and if that requires college, one hundred percent,
Speaker 3: you should get yourself educated, right.
Speaker 1: I think that that's important.
Speaker 3: Now, if you have these aimless young kids and they
Speaker 3: just choose social sciences and humanities and some of this stuff,
Speaker 3: I think generally speaking, that's going to be a bad
Speaker 3: investment of your time. You're not going to end up
Speaker 3: as a super employable person. Your kids seem to be
Speaker 3: pretty stand out, though, and congratulations to you for that.
Speaker 3: Here's Theodore with an email to tips at the Newsjunki
Speaker 3: dot com.
Speaker 2: He says, Hey, guys, did you see this?
Speaker 3: Kathleen Tierney posted a Game of Thrones gif it was Circe,
Speaker 3: one of the characters in Game of Thrones, watching an
Speaker 3: explosion captioned watching tonight's council meeting on a Tempe councilman's
Speaker 3: Facebook page. The police treated that gift as a threat.
Speaker 3: They evacuated the council chambers and arrested her at her
Speaker 3: Tucson home. Prosecutors later declined to press charges, but she
Speaker 3: says the arrest in the city's public statement about her
Speaker 3: cost her a one hundred and twenty one thousand dollars
Speaker 3: a year job at Coxcommunications. She's now suing them for first,
Speaker 3: fourth and fourteenth Amendment violations, False arrest, and defamation. Is
Speaker 3: the real story here less about whether the gift crossed
Speaker 3: the line, and more about whether cities are using threat
Speaker 3: allegations as a fast, unaccountable way to punish people from
Speaker 3: mocking officials online, with arrests and press releases doing the
Speaker 3: damage long before any prosecutor or court weighs in. Have
Speaker 3: the best day, go secret shows, says Theodore. Thank you
Speaker 3: for the email. Yeah, I think I mean, that's legitimately
Speaker 3: an interesting question. If if Selion sends me a text
Speaker 3: message and it says good morning, Sean and I sent
Speaker 3: him back a gift, like an animated gift, and in
Speaker 3: it it's somebody shooting a gun at the screen, implying
Speaker 3: that I'm shooting Sea Lane. Have I threatened him? I
Speaker 3: mean that, like, these aren't words, I didn't type anything.
Speaker 3: But yet people get wrapped up in this.
Speaker 1: And is there a real person with a real gun
Speaker 1: shooting the screen or is it a mythical character from
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones or I don't know, SpongeBob SquarePants.
Speaker 3: Uh, it could be either. It really, it could be either.
Speaker 3: Some magazines late there. I mean, I haven't I haven't
Speaker 3: tried it yet, but I wonder like that we're kind
Speaker 3: of new into that world of law, so we shall
Speaker 3: see where that all goes.
Speaker 1: Also, is there a precedent for people who have committed
Speaker 1: horrific acts posting memes about them beforehand? Why? I mean, uh, well,
Speaker 1: not that. I not that that really matters. It's starting
Speaker 1: to sound like you're planning something. I'm saying, like you're
Speaker 1: a thing, this woman because of the Game of Thrones meme. Yeah,
Speaker 1: has there been a historical like trend of people who
Speaker 1: would blow up a building? Not that in memes beforehand? Yeah,
Speaker 1: not that I know of Yeah, I don't think you
Speaker 1: have the ability back then, Josh, all right, quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll get into more of your emails.
Speaker 1: Some people all fired up today.
Speaker 3: We have a new information in the Mitch McConnell situation,
Speaker 3: which is pretty interesting, so we'll dive into that, and
Speaker 3: we have a whole lot more to get to. It's
Speaker 3: a busy, busy Friday on the show, so hang out
Speaker 3: with us. That's all coming up next in the News Junkie.
Speaker 3: I feel like this is a setup, Honest to god,
Speaker 3: it's this is a setup. That's what's happening to me.
Speaker 3: And I know that you the listener, are involved in this.
Speaker 3: So I just I want to point this out very quickly.
Speaker 3: Here here's what's happening. I have been accused of focusing
Speaker 3: on too many airplane slash airline related stories on the
Speaker 3: News Junkie.
Speaker 2: All right, and it's gotten so bad.
Speaker 3: There's so many airplane airport related stories that Sea Land
Speaker 3: has made a song that mocks me when I focus on,
Speaker 3: what are these stories that happened to occur on a
Speaker 3: verage catchy song. Yes it's a very catchy song, I agree,
Speaker 3: but I'm just saying, like I recognize there are a
Speaker 3: lot of viral stories that occur on planes, but it's
Speaker 3: not the plane junkie, it's the news junkie. So I
Speaker 3: try to spread things out, all sorts of things out
Speaker 3: there happening in the world each day. Now it just
Speaker 3: so happens that almost every day this week, the top
Speaker 3: story emailed to me at tips on the Tips ofthews
Speaker 3: junkie dot com is plane related. And I'm like, all
Speaker 3: you people are emailing me story, and then you want
Speaker 3: me to talk about the story. And then when I
Speaker 3: talk about the story, you tell me I'm talking about
Speaker 3: airplanes again.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't seem fair to me, honestly, Are we
Speaker 1: doing it or not doing it? Yeah, we're gonna do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we might as.
Speaker 1: Well do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a story about a Ryan airplane.
Speaker 10: I want to check your apply to surprise, it's a
Speaker 10: tough stories as long as it flies wild, insane.
Speaker 1: And as you bet a guest, where a plane?
Speaker 2: What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 3: They're emailing me the stories, they email the stories, and
Speaker 3: then they say, hey, once you do them, you're talking
Speaker 3: about planes too much. Abraham Dragon friends, what is this says?
Speaker 2: What is this called? Confirmation bias.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's confirmation bias. I think that this
Speaker 3: is a prank. I think that this is people saying, Hey,
Speaker 3: what we want to do is we want to send
Speaker 3: this to you and then call you out on it afterwards,
Speaker 3: and then if I don't do it, they'll tell me
Speaker 3: that I'm not reading the emails and I'm being rude
Speaker 3: or whatever. I'll get some sort of claim like that.
Speaker 3: So this is a true story, absolutely insane and honestly
Speaker 3: worth getting hit with the back on a plane song
Speaker 3: because this is a man who was auto play videos.
Speaker 3: I'm going to murder somebody. I'm going to do it.
Speaker 3: It was a problem, mister dad. Josh, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: I can't take it anymore, these websites. Okay, this is
Speaker 3: a ryanairplane that was bound for Germany and passengers aboard
Speaker 3: the plane.
Speaker 1: According to this story I'm looking at.
Speaker 3: They had to pull a man back inside the aircraft
Speaker 3: after he was partially sucked out of the plane. All right,
Speaker 3: So there on the plane there's some huge malfunction and
Speaker 3: this guy's getting sucked out of the plane window and
Speaker 3: all the passengers are trying to pull this guy back
Speaker 3: inside which is pretty brave in and of itself.
Speaker 2: I don't know if most of you.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you would if you saw somebody
Speaker 3: getting sucked out of the plane, if you would put
Speaker 3: yourself in harm's way to try to pull them back
Speaker 3: through the window or not. Witnesses have described seeing a
Speaker 3: man's head and shoulders outside of the Boeing seven thirty seven.
Speaker 1: Where his knees and toes inside the plane, still unreported.
Speaker 1: Josh unreported after him, he's done for man. I can
Speaker 1: tell you I'm not getting up on the plane and
Speaker 1: helping him. If the knees are out the window, like
Speaker 1: if you got a fingertip out, I might go all assists.
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can help you pull you
Speaker 1: back into the plane. Here meep on. TJ. Chat says,
Speaker 1: this is happening too often now. It's very eerily familiar
Speaker 1: because we had had a story very similar to this
Speaker 1: not that long ago in the show.
Speaker 2: But this is a new one. And so they said.
Speaker 1: The man's head and shoulders were outside of the Bowing
Speaker 1: seven thirty seven after a passenger window shattered while the
Speaker 1: plane was traveling from Greece to Germany. The man's legs
Speaker 1: were reportedly held down by nearby passengers before he was
Speaker 1: able to be pulled back inside of the plane. The
Speaker 1: plane was forced to return to the airport, where this
Speaker 1: sixty one year old man was hospitalized with what they
Speaker 1: call friction burns. I wonder if that was from the
Speaker 1: wind from the like the you can get wind burns
Speaker 1: when you're like moving that fast through the air. I
Speaker 1: imagine the plane is moving at a pretty pretty hefty pace.
Speaker 3: What are they going four hundred miles an hour, five
Speaker 3: hundred miles an hour or something the hall and at
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty miles an hour, they're going pretty
Speaker 3: fast up there. So yeah, I would have thought Sea
Speaker 3: Lane that his body would have been sort of whipping
Speaker 3: against the plane itself and that would have been where
Speaker 3: the damage happened. But they said the aircraft landed normally.
Speaker 3: The passengers returned to the terminal. Here's a photo for
Speaker 3: those of you watching on YouTube, and you could see
Speaker 3: the passenger window is smashed out. And I've been told
Speaker 3: so many times to go don't worry, Sean, it's safe.
Speaker 3: There's two different panels for the window. Well they're they're
Speaker 3: both completely busted out of this Ryanair flight and that's
Speaker 3: where the man was pulled through. Now, I have a
Speaker 3: theory on the show, and I've talked about this many times.
Speaker 3: It's a guiding compass for me in life. And if
Speaker 3: you buy stuff in your life and things that you have,
Speaker 3: you can buy stuff that is too big to steal
Speaker 3: in my estimation, and you can buy like you can
Speaker 3: buy a big screen TV for your house, so big
Speaker 3: that if somebody breaks in, they're gonna get frustrated, they
Speaker 3: won't be able to steal the television. Then if you
Speaker 3: buy stuff big enough, you can buy stuff that is
Speaker 3: too big to steal.
Speaker 2: It's like too big to fail.
Speaker 3: But it's for you and your house, and it protects
Speaker 3: you from the robbers if the city and state is
Speaker 3: letting you down.
Speaker 2: So you can buy stuff that's too big to steel.
Speaker 3: I think you could be too big to get sucked
Speaker 3: out of the plane like this. I think there's a
Speaker 3: particular sized guy that ain't fitting through that plane window that.
Speaker 1: I must have been small, because those windows are not big.
Speaker 1: They're not josh, they're like, I mean, the whole thing
Speaker 1: is what twenty inches tall? Maybe I think that's generous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe it's not big. It's not a huge window that
Speaker 1: you have.
Speaker 3: You guys have all been on a plane at some
Speaker 3: point in time, yep, and you look at that and go,
Speaker 3: how on earth could this happen?
Speaker 1: God only knows, but I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I would fit out of there,
Speaker 3: and it would be the first time that I'd be
Speaker 3: happy about something.
Speaker 1: The uh which aircraft has the largest windows for passengers?
Speaker 1: That's a it's a weird way of putting that, now
Speaker 1: that we know what's just happened. Uh huh, it's not one. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, people would want a bigger one to look
Speaker 1: out of. But in this case, you know, this passenger,
Speaker 1: you know, almost got sucked out of it. Seven eighty
Speaker 1: seven is eighteen point four inches by ten point seven
Speaker 1: or not even the twenty or twenty two that you
Speaker 1: were thinking. God, that's I mean, I don't think I
Speaker 1: could fit out of that. A three fifty even smaller
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half by nine and a half. Uh,
Speaker 1: and then a three thirty twelve point three by nine.
Speaker 1: My god, So this guy was small enough to get
Speaker 1: pulled out of that all the way up to did
Speaker 1: they say his shoulders? I think yeah, So the shoulders
Speaker 1: were out I thought and his shoulders like outside of
Speaker 1: the plane flying along.
Speaker 3: It's just terrifying. It's something out of an absolute horror movie.
Speaker 3: But it's no real life experience for people on this
Speaker 3: Ryanair flight.
Speaker 1: I guess now. You said that there are people that
Speaker 1: are too big to get sucked out of a plane. However,
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean that all of them is too
Speaker 1: big to get sucked out of the plane. And that's
Speaker 1: where you run into like a really bit because if
Speaker 1: you get, if you get half sucked out of the plane,
Speaker 1: and then you plug that window and you're though your
Speaker 1: whole body can't come out, but the rest of you
Speaker 1: is outside of the plane while the half of you
Speaker 1: was inside the plane.
Speaker 3: You're just saying, you're like a cork. Yeah, so your
Speaker 3: body is meant the windows. It's good for you that
Speaker 3: you won't fully leave the plane.
Speaker 1: However, well, then your head is outside and then people
Speaker 1: on the inside are like, oh, well, don't move them
Speaker 1: until you're pulling. No, you gotta be pulling back in
Speaker 1: the probably can't breathe out there.
Speaker 11: No.
Speaker 3: But if they if they uncork you and pull you
Speaker 3: into the plane, then they're risking all of their lives. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So they would probably say, like, Sea Lane, just stay
Speaker 3: there with you?
Speaker 1: Is it me?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just saying it's like, could be anybody, but
Speaker 3: why I'm talking to you Sea Lane. So like, see Lane,
Speaker 3: just stay there and you can imagine your shoulderspin.
Speaker 1: Anybody have a tape, missus.
Speaker 3: Somebody worked this up with with AI. For me, what
Speaker 3: would it look like if just Sea Lane's head was
Speaker 3: popping out of a seven thirty seven window as the
Speaker 3: plane is flying along a cruising altitude. All the passengers
Speaker 3: are saying, like, let's just leave them out there because
Speaker 3: we don't want to mess it's working right now, and
Speaker 3: they says should be turned around and go back to
Speaker 3: the air. No, we're you know, just fly to our
Speaker 3: destination at seven hours.
Speaker 1: It'll be okay, pretty rare that I'm in a window
Speaker 1: seat anyway, so it's not even a concern for me.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, man, if the if it's sucking
Speaker 3: hard enough, it could pull you in from any seat
Speaker 3: on the plane, I think if it wanted to. But
Speaker 3: let us know what you think. I'll put a photo
Speaker 3: of this up on See It now. That's where we
Speaker 3: show things that are visual to you on the website
Speaker 3: and the app and you can go over to the
Speaker 3: News Junkie dot Com hit the see it Now menu,
Speaker 3: Presto bango. Just like that, you'll be able to see
Speaker 3: the hole in the window on the side of this thing.
Speaker 3: And it's just a miracle that the guy you know
Speaker 3: that he's alive. I guess you could say pretty crazy,
Speaker 3: but let's see man sucked out of window of Ryanair
Speaker 3: flight perfect beautiful, beautiful stuff. Got this up for you
Speaker 3: over on the see it Now section ofthewsjunkie dot Com.
Speaker 1: What did I do here? Okay, there we go.
Speaker 2: That is ready for you. Take a look.
Speaker 3: When you get a chance, show a friend and joy
Speaker 3: your life and realize the at least whatever happened in
Speaker 3: your day today, at least you didn't end up like
Speaker 3: this guy. You didn't have that situation happening. We're going
Speaker 3: to take quick break. When we come back, we've got
Speaker 3: to get into an update on the Mitch McConnell's story
Speaker 3: that I was talking about. We'll work that in here momentarily.
Speaker 3: We'll also get some of your emails in on the show.
Speaker 3: All of that is coming up next. I'm going to
Speaker 3: use junkie.
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell still missing an action, still missing an action.
Speaker 1: We don't exactly know what's going on with the sitting
Speaker 1: senator from Kentucky right now. And I mean, one would
Speaker 1: think that the least you could ask from your elected
Speaker 1: officials is that you know they are alive, right, I
Speaker 1: know they're alive. They're out there representing me, and that's
Speaker 1: like the very least that you could ask in these situations. However,
Speaker 1: we're not getting that anymore. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The one guy that we briefly talked about on the
Speaker 3: show who was missing for four months and then when
Speaker 3: he came back, he was like, sorry, guys, I was
Speaker 3: a super depressed and the depression made it so I
Speaker 3: didn't go to work.
Speaker 2: At all and I didn't do anything.
Speaker 1: Now, I kind of like in some ways that maybe
Speaker 1: this is going to limit the careers of some of
Speaker 1: these people. Because my take on all of this, if
Speaker 1: you haven't heard it on the show, it's a pretty
Speaker 1: simple one. I view people who go to.
Speaker 3: Congress elected officials of any type, even your local elected officials.
Speaker 3: I kind of view them like mechanics, all right, And
Speaker 3: let's say your car is broken and you hire a
Speaker 3: mechanic to do it. It shouldn't take the mechanic for
Speaker 3: the rest of their life. To fix the problems with
Speaker 3: your car. They should go all right, here are the
Speaker 3: issues that are facing the people that elected me, my constituents.
Speaker 3: Let me go into the office and write them all
Speaker 3: down on a whiteboard and check them off and get
Speaker 3: all of the things done that I possibly can. If
Speaker 3: you brought your car to a mechanic and they said,
Speaker 3: we just need sixty five years to fix this, you
Speaker 3: would laugh in their faces. Yet, this is what happens
Speaker 3: with a lot of these elected officials.
Speaker 1: They just go on and on and on and on
Speaker 1: and on and on, no term limits, no nothing. They
Speaker 1: become a billion years old. It's just how it goes.
Speaker 3: Some of them are too depressed to go to work,
Speaker 3: and others, like Mitch McConnell, we don't know, we don't
Speaker 3: know what's going on. I know that the first thing
Speaker 3: that popped up was there was a medical emergency at
Speaker 3: Mitch McConnell, the senator from Kentucky, at his house, and
Speaker 3: the medical emergency involved I think somebody doing CPR, so
Speaker 3: he had stop breathing. He was in really, really bad shape.
Speaker 3: He obviously had some issues before that, some spells you
Speaker 3: might call them.
Speaker 1: Before that and then continued on with his job. But
Speaker 1: this time, no one had really heard from Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: in days, maybe weeks at this point. And then you
Speaker 1: heard a couple of people pop up, like the one
Speaker 1: of the guys.
Speaker 2: From CNN said, Oh, I talked to him.
Speaker 1: He's good.
Speaker 2: He's he's actually he might be too good.
Speaker 3: Big flashbacks of Biden's staff where they go, oh my god,
Speaker 3: you know, we were playing b ball with him behind
Speaker 3: the White House the other day and he wouldn't stop
Speaker 3: dunking on us. And you're like, I don't I don't
Speaker 3: think that that's true. I don't know that that's what's happening.
Speaker 1: Here. They're kind of doing the same thing a little
Speaker 1: bit with Mitch McConnell. Here. The people of Kentucky deserve
Speaker 1: better than that. They literally deserve better than that.
Speaker 3: But now we see that they've released some footage that's
Speaker 3: supposed to show Mitch McConnell being pushed into an ambulance
Speaker 3: right here. I can't really see him, but this is
Speaker 3: outside of his residence, not right.
Speaker 1: And then you see like you see like a leg,
Speaker 1: You see like.
Speaker 3: A leg going into the air, like a barefoot Yeah,
Speaker 3: that that is allegedly Mitch McConnell being shoved into the ambulance.
Speaker 1: The leg is not moving. This is the only evidence
Speaker 1: we have of anything. This happened back on when did
Speaker 1: it say? This happened on June fourteenth, that's almost a
Speaker 1: month ago.
Speaker 2: So he says, is that a toe tag?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know there's a foot. I know
Speaker 1: there's a foot. I see a foot inside an ambulance.
Speaker 1: I don't see the foot moving very much. I read
Speaker 1: somewhere somebody pointed out that it didn't seem like they
Speaker 1: were moving super fast. No, they didn't seem to be
Speaker 1: like really hauling ass. I don't know if that's a
Speaker 1: good thing or a bad thing. Where's his wife's Abraham
Speaker 1: says over on chat. His wife is in China. It's
Speaker 1: as one would be in an emergency like this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his wife has made her way to China. So it's
Speaker 1: been about a month. Everybody's asking. He's talked to at
Speaker 1: least two people, but he hasn't done.
Speaker 3: What I said would just be the easyest thing in
Speaker 3: the world, which is pick up the phone, dial up
Speaker 3: Fox News or whatever outlet you want to and go, hey, folks,
Speaker 3: feeling a little under the weather here, but I think
Speaker 3: I'm going to be back in better than ever, very
Speaker 3: very quickly here, and I can't wait to go represent
Speaker 3: Kentucky for the remainder of my term.
Speaker 1: But just want to let you know more weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still alive. You know, I'm still alive. I'm
Speaker 1: okay out here. Bandit says it's okay to get old.
Speaker 1: It happens, it is. It's fine to get old, and
Speaker 1: it's a great thing that you should embrace. But I
Speaker 1: want you to embrace it out of an elected political office.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking for in these cases. They keep
Speaker 1: bothering the neighbors out there too. They keep going after
Speaker 1: the neighbors and asking them questions. Here's one of the
Speaker 1: neighbors talking, he says. The neighbor who spoke to CNN
Speaker 1: say they saw emergency responders bring the person on the
Speaker 1: stretcher out from McConnell's residence about thirty minutes after first
Speaker 1: noticing emergency vehicles blocking the streets. The neighbors said they
Speaker 1: were taking back by the person's feet being uncovered in
Speaker 1: the video. We saw that too.
Speaker 3: We did McConnell's residence, the address of which CNN corroborated
Speaker 3: with public records, is visible in the video, which was
Speaker 3: shot the day his team said he was hospitalized. He's
Speaker 3: in a stretcher and he's in some sort of orange
Speaker 3: foam looking blanket type thing, the neighbor said. The neighbor said,
Speaker 3: they looked at McConnell's feet, which were uncovered, and we're
Speaker 3: quote not moving right, not moving, which is going to
Speaker 3: start all sorts of conspiracies. He's in a stretcher, he's
Speaker 3: in some sort of orange foam looking blanket thing, and
Speaker 3: his feet are not moving. The neighbor said, Well, they
Speaker 3: did not see McConnell's face. Other on the others on
Speaker 3: the block did. Somebody said, oh it's Mitch. I saw
Speaker 3: his face. Then there's the EMS audio where you hear
Speaker 3: that somebody had a cardiac arrest, that there was CPR
Speaker 3: in progress. I mean, it seems like they would be
Speaker 3: too big of a thing to have a huge conspiracy,
Speaker 3: like nobody at the hospital, nobody at the morgue. No,
Speaker 3: like if he was really dead, like to keep all
Speaker 3: those people quiet might be a thing, but if everybody
Speaker 3: is speculating that you're dead, it is the easiest thing
Speaker 3: on planet Earth to just pick up a phone and
Speaker 3: be like, ay.
Speaker 1: Well, on the flip side, wouldn't it be public record
Speaker 1: if he was dead? Like, wouldn't they have to issue
Speaker 1: a death certificate?
Speaker 3: I believe so, right, otherwise they would be breaking some sort.
Speaker 1: Of law, right, I assume. I don't know which one
Speaker 1: it would be, but there is something that would be
Speaker 1: happening there unless there's some sort of like really old
Speaker 1: law that they haven't updated in decades. There was like,
Speaker 1: you have a few months to issue the death certificate.
Speaker 1: You know, the things don't have to be handled right away.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. We got to see what happens
Speaker 1: here next.
Speaker 3: I know that the neighbors are probably tired of it,
Speaker 3: because the neighbors are just being hounded by people.
Speaker 2: People are going up like what.
Speaker 1: Did you see?
Speaker 2: What do you know?
Speaker 3: Have you heard anything about Mitch McConnell. Easy problem to solve,
Speaker 3: but it hasn't been solved yet.
Speaker 1: For some reason.
Speaker 3: All we got is a foot that ain't moving in
Speaker 3: the back of an ambulance.
Speaker 1: The part the part where the neighbors said that you
Speaker 1: saw Mitch's foot. When I first read it, I thought
Speaker 1: it said the neighbor said it looked like Mitch's foot,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, your neighbors, I
Speaker 1: know that old feet look like what the hell? Josh,
Speaker 1: do you think you can pick Sea Lan's feet out
Speaker 1: of a lineup? Yes? You think?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's yes, I think easy. He's worn flip flops
Speaker 6: around me enough times. I know what his feet looked like.
Speaker 1: You got you got an eye on. There's also the size.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got big feet.
Speaker 3: His shoes are like what fifteen sixteen's Yeah, so that
Speaker 3: would be noticing.
Speaker 2: I got to pick my wife's feet.
Speaker 1: Out of a lineup on account of she has the
Speaker 1: smallest toenails known to man, Like my kid has bigger
Speaker 1: toenails than like some of those smaller ones down there.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 3: You want to have identifiable characteristics, right, this is good.
Speaker 3: God forbid. Something happens you're like, oh my god, those toenails.
Speaker 3: You think I'm kidding about the neighbors being hounded over this? Look,
Speaker 3: this is what that lady did to one of the neighbors.
Speaker 1: Happened.
Speaker 12: I didn't see him come out, but oh you saw
Speaker 12: the paramedics here. Have you seen any family has has
Speaker 12: any No.
Speaker 1: Family I haven't seen anyone going from there, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I know is Capitol Police detail. They're they're over at
Speaker 1: the hospital. So I just thought. I so, his.
Speaker 12: Wife, Elaine Chow, was found in China three days after
Speaker 12: he went into cardiac arrest, so we're trying to figure
Speaker 12: out where she is. It doesn't look like she has
Speaker 12: come back to the house. So I was wondering, have
Speaker 12: you have you seen her at all?
Speaker 1: I haven't seen. I hear somebody else on the block too.
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's anything like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: can handle what's have it? Somebody is like preaching in
Speaker 3: the background, But this is what's happening to the neighbors
Speaker 3: in Mitch McConnell's neighborhood. It's just like, okay, this is
Speaker 3: this is a big enough of an issue. All you
Speaker 3: have to do is pop up and say hey, I'm okay,
Speaker 3: I'm doing all right, or this could be the outcome.
Speaker 1: Uh this is a banger tweet.
Speaker 3: Actually, somebody by the name of Casual Thursday tweeted, you're
Speaker 3: all gonna feel really stupid when Mitch returns to the
Speaker 3: Senate with an amazing BBL which is maybe the most
Speaker 3: hilarious outcome I could ever think of nobody, said Mitch
Speaker 3: d Stallion.
Speaker 1: If he just came with a big butt implant. And
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. I hope he's okay.
Speaker 3: I don't wish bad on anybody out there, but I
Speaker 3: do think that people who elect folks to represent them
Speaker 3: deserve somebody who's working.
Speaker 2: And if you haven't been seen in a month and.
Speaker 1: We don't know if you're alive or not, you're not
Speaker 1: really working, are you?
Speaker 2: Let us know what you think.
Speaker 3: But the latest is Mitch McConnell loaded into an ambulance
Speaker 3: after an apparent cardiac arrest. Question Mark Scalore out there,
Speaker 3: give us your thoughts, your theories, and all the rest.
Speaker 2: You can also email the show.
Speaker 3: In fact, a couple of emails coming in on a
Speaker 3: pick a side we did recently. This was with the
Speaker 3: female cop where she was yelling at the street preacher
Speaker 3: and said that she was going to give him a
Speaker 3: ticket for offensive speech.
Speaker 1: She said, like you, your speech is offensive. If somebody
Speaker 1: complains it says your speech is offensive, I will ticket you,
Speaker 1: she said. And Travis emails about this. Travis says, about
Speaker 1: that dumb ass cop giving a ticket. That cop is
Speaker 1: retarded and giving out tickets with no constitutional reasoning. The
Speaker 1: tax money that will be continually wasted take these things
Speaker 1: to court is such an unbelievable waste. Just like the
Speaker 1: people fired for saying negative things about Charlie Kirk after
Speaker 1: his murder. Some of them got fired and then they
Speaker 1: now won millions in court.
Speaker 3: It's all a big waste of money, he says, And
Speaker 3: then t X says the Texas penal code.
Speaker 1: The cop is right.
Speaker 3: Please please stop bashing the Texas police officer when you
Speaker 3: are the one who is in fact ignorant to the law.
Speaker 3: See the attack attached Texas penal code. The officer wasn't
Speaker 3: stopping their freedom of speech. She was clearly trying to
Speaker 3: enforce the Texas law. They might not have been cussing,
Speaker 3: but they were breaching the piece, says this particular person
Speaker 3: who sends over an email to tips at the Newschunkie
Speaker 3: dot com fully and completely disagree. The penal code that
Speaker 3: this person sent over is just like asking AI says.
Speaker 3: Cursing in public is not automatically illegal in Texas under
Speaker 3: Texas Penal Code forty two oh one for disorderly conduct.
Speaker 3: It becomes illegal if your abusive and decent, profane or
Speaker 3: vulgar in your language in a public place that tends
Speaker 3: to insight in an immediate breach of the piece. Fully disagree.
Speaker 3: This guy was within his constitutional right to speak, whether
Speaker 3: you liked it or not, and there is no law
Speaker 3: that runs a foul of this, Texas or otherwise. But
Speaker 3: thank you for the email. Appreciate that Tips of the
Speaker 3: Neewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: You could be next.
Speaker 2: We'll see what you.
Speaker 1: Got for us. We got an AI radio station coming
Speaker 1: for our jobs.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit frightening. And when we come back,
Speaker 3: we got to pick aside. We got another pick aside
Speaker 3: for you. And Sea Lane censored this for me this
Speaker 3: morning because it's kind of a wild ride from what
Speaker 3: I hear. Have you already lined up on a side
Speaker 3: on this particular click?
Speaker 1: Oh kind of yeah, I'm leaning towards an outcome. But
Speaker 1: then I also only mostly listen to this, and then
Speaker 1: when I watched one part of it, I was.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, wait a second, so you'll you'll get there.
Speaker 3: It's pretty epic. We'll see what happens, we'll see what side.
Speaker 1: Can wait for all of you to go, oh wait
Speaker 1: a second, Yeah, it'll happen the wait, A second moment
Speaker 1: is coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 3: Before we get to this, pick a side that I
Speaker 3: wanted to work in. There is a story that's making
Speaker 3: the rounds, and I feel like I want to point
Speaker 3: this out just because everybody seems to be like one
Speaker 3: line of thought on this and I just totally completely disagree.
Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to be contrarian or anything.
Speaker 1: But there's a video out there that started going viral
Speaker 1: and the woman.
Speaker 2: Took it down.
Speaker 3: She took the video down because this woman posted a
Speaker 3: video and in it she's kayaking along some Florida river
Speaker 3: and as she's, you know, rolling along in an little
Speaker 3: kayak thing or whatever. As she's rolling along, an alligator
Speaker 3: swims up beside her.
Speaker 2: Have you guys seen this or heard about this at all?
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll even show you because I think WESH two
Speaker 3: News captured the video before it was deleted by the
Speaker 3: person who posted it.
Speaker 1: Now there's a.
Speaker 3: Big investigation going on. They want charges for this woman.
Speaker 3: Some people want this woman thrown in jail. I just
Speaker 3: I can't understand what the hell is going on here, because.
Speaker 1: We are we just not supposed to pet animals. I
Speaker 1: think that's it.
Speaker 3: But let me just show you and explain, so everybody
Speaker 3: gets on the same page.
Speaker 13: Here.
Speaker 3: I think this is so overblown, this is so ridiculous,
Speaker 3: But here it is. This is the story about this
Speaker 3: investigation over this woman's video she posted online and it
Speaker 3: involves her and she's.
Speaker 1: In a cayo.
Speaker 14: Therefore, an investigation is under her way into a viral
Speaker 14: video which shows a woman petting an alligator.
Speaker 1: Well, she has confirmed FWC is looking into it. Which
Speaker 1: was the video which was shot at a state park
Speaker 1: in Marion County. She was every ever, it breaks down
Speaker 1: what we know. Here's what we now.
Speaker 15: I first saw it on Facebook. Someone had shared it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so's she's in more of a canoe. I guess
Speaker 1: I don't know. She's in a canoe. She's got a paddle.
Speaker 1: Was that a clear canoe? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's clear canoe.
Speaker 1: You want to be in a clear canoe in some
Speaker 1: of these some of these waters.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess that means she's got a clear shot
Speaker 3: at all the light wildlife around her, and so she
Speaker 3: sees that this alligator comes up next to her.
Speaker 14: Joshuast Wander says he wanted to see her after seeing
Speaker 14: that video showing a woman.
Speaker 2: Okay there.
Speaker 3: So the alligator starts swimming alongside her clear canoe, and
Speaker 3: the woman reaches out and puts her hand on the
Speaker 3: alligator's back and just briefly touches the alligator and they're sangle.
Speaker 3: She tried to pet the alligator, and there was like
Speaker 3: a push to go after this woman in charge her.
Speaker 3: I was like, is this what we really want to do?
Speaker 3: Is this like, is this legitimately what people want to do.
Speaker 1: I understand if somebody is throwing rocks at a manatee
Speaker 1: or she if she whacked him with the ore, Yeah, yeah, like,
Speaker 1: well move on her part.
Speaker 2: I think the punishment would be a little faster.
Speaker 1: But and if the alligator bitter, I'd be supporting the alligator.
Speaker 1: But this woman is on a canoe, a clear canoe.
Speaker 1: She's rowing along very slowly in the water. The alligator's
Speaker 1: surface is right next to her. She sees the alligator
Speaker 1: and puts her hand out on the alligator's back by
Speaker 1: its tail and sort of rubs her hand on the
Speaker 1: back of the alligator for just a second. I think
Speaker 1: that's a fair characterization of what happened.
Speaker 3: In this video, and if that is a fair casecharacter exation,
Speaker 3: you guys agree that that's like it was a very brief,
Speaker 3: little kind of like touch. Sure on the I'll play
Speaker 3: it again for those of you who are watching, possibly
Speaker 3: just to say, hey, I touched an alligator.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did it, all right, I reached out. I
Speaker 1: touched an alligator.
Speaker 15: There was when I first saw it on Facebook, someone
Speaker 15: had shared it.
Speaker 1: Did you get that? Yeah? I got it.
Speaker 14: Joshuast Wander says he wanted to speak up after seeing
Speaker 14: that video showing a woman petting an alligator out in
Speaker 14: the wild.
Speaker 1: They are apex predators.
Speaker 15: We need to respect the moment we're in their environment.
Speaker 3: Okay, nerd Okay, I like, I don't want to come
Speaker 3: full force for this guy, because I'm sure he's got
Speaker 3: good intentions.
Speaker 2: Best intentions, I'm sure, but just in.
Speaker 1: A very knowing what in the which hunt are you
Speaker 1: doing here? Somebody on YouTube says it was illegal? I
Speaker 1: ask you the question, should this be illegal?
Speaker 2: Okay? Should If that is illegal, let's just say that.
Speaker 3: It's a literally illegal to touch an alligator, like an
Speaker 3: alligator sitting there. You touch the tail of an alligator
Speaker 3: and you've now committed to crime. Let's just say, oh,
Speaker 3: grant you. I don't even know if it is, but
Speaker 3: let's say that that's illegal. Should we be charging people,
Speaker 3: investigating people, arresting people who put their hand on the
Speaker 3: back of an alligator for a split second? What a
Speaker 3: stupid waste of time. There are so many things to
Speaker 3: be legitimately outraged by. Do we think this woman is
Speaker 3: some animal hating lunatic who's trying to kill all of
Speaker 3: the alligators? Yes, Also, isn't it a little bit crazy?
Speaker 3: We literally have alligator hunts where people can kill them
Speaker 3: and tag them and bring them in.
Speaker 1: But if a woman.
Speaker 3: Massages the back of the alligator for three seconds, we're like, oh,
Speaker 3: my goodness, let's investigate.
Speaker 1: Who cares? That's ridiculous. I mean, it's looking like it
Speaker 1: is illegal, it says. In Florida, state laws such as
Speaker 1: Florida Statute Section three seven nine point four to nine
Speaker 1: make it a crime to potentially kill injured possessor capture
Speaker 1: an alligator. Harassment includes touching, poking, chasing, or intentionally disturbing
Speaker 1: the touching. I guess it's just ridiculous. We have a
Speaker 1: lot of laws that are ridiculous. In my opinion. People
Speaker 1: might agree with you, Guys might disagree with me. That's
Speaker 1: why I said, I don't know if this is even
Speaker 1: a hot take or not. X con says, Yeah, anything
Speaker 1: that can make an.
Speaker 3: Alligator more comfortable around being around humans needs to be punished.
Speaker 2: How investigate this lady?
Speaker 1: What charge her?
Speaker 3: Find her? Throw her in jail for touching an alligator?
Speaker 3: Does that apply to every single animal that you see?
Speaker 3: This is stupid. What a complete and total waste of time.
Speaker 3: Like imagine for a second, you were sitting out on
Speaker 3: your lawn or something, and a little bird flies by,
Speaker 3: and the bird, as you're sitting there, lands right on
Speaker 3: your fingertip and looks at you, and you go, oh
Speaker 3: my god. You take your other hand and you just
Speaker 3: barely pat the top of that bird's head. And then
Speaker 3: the bird just majestically flies off into the distance and
Speaker 3: goes somewhere else. And then somebody comes up goes put
Speaker 3: your hands up, freeze.
Speaker 1: You just abuse the wildlife. You can't touch them.
Speaker 3: We also heard you were touching butterflies earlier, Like this
Speaker 3: is stupid. The point of these laws is to protect animals.
Speaker 3: This animal isn't in any danger. This woman doesn't hate
Speaker 3: the alligators. You're not trying to kill the alligator. Use
Speaker 3: your head for a second. Maybe I'm missing something. Hold on,
Speaker 3: is there another detail that changes my mind?
Speaker 14: Is a wildlife photographer and is known on social media
Speaker 14: as Florida Guide Josh. He says the tours he often
Speaker 14: takes people on are at the Silver Spring State Park
Speaker 14: and that's where the location is.
Speaker 1: Josh's had more than two point.
Speaker 14: One million views on TikTok and has been reposted across
Speaker 14: the internet. So understitch the original video himself to call
Speaker 14: for an investigation from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commition.
Speaker 15: Sure, not only are they putting themselves at risk, but
Speaker 15: also they're putting the lives at risk of the future
Speaker 15: people that are going to be out there.
Speaker 1: Josh, whatever this is is the equivalent of like a
Speaker 1: wildlife Karen.
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's a name for this, but
Speaker 3: there's that's one hundred percent what you are, Josh, not you, Josh,
Speaker 3: the other Josh whatever man the wildlife Josh.
Speaker 1: This is one hundred percent you being some sort of
Speaker 1: wildlife Karen.
Speaker 2: You have decided you.
Speaker 3: Are going to be the spokesperson for the animals and
Speaker 3: you've found the really bad woman who was swimming around
Speaker 3: or I guess moving around in her canoe and touch
Speaker 3: the back of an alligator and you now are trying
Speaker 3: to turn her in like that is every bit of
Speaker 3: Karen behavior. You're a wildlife Karen, that's one hundred percent
Speaker 3: what you are. Normal people aren't getting together and being
Speaker 3: like this woman is a criminal. We do need to
Speaker 3: clean up the streets, she said. We should start with her.
Speaker 3: That's how we're going to fix this stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean there is a little bit I think to
Speaker 1: the argument where if you're making gators more comfortable around humans,
Speaker 1: they might be more likely to get closer to them,
Speaker 1: and bad stuff will happen. I mean, that's the whole
Speaker 1: reason you don't feed them, you know, keep the alligators,
Speaker 1: because they're going to come back next week to the
Speaker 1: same spot and you chom on a kid. Hey, let
Speaker 1: me be clear. I don't think we should encourage this, lady.
Speaker 3: I don't think we should be saying this is amazing
Speaker 3: that you did this.
Speaker 1: But I don't think all these things should just be illegal.
Speaker 1: I don't think we should just like collect as many
Speaker 1: laws as we can for all of the people that
Speaker 1: do something you just go, Hey, don't do.
Speaker 3: This, Please, don't do this. You don't understand, Sean, what
Speaker 3: do I not understand? I mean, I saw what happened.
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any context that's going to change
Speaker 3: my mind on this. I'm open to it, but one
Speaker 3: hundred percent I think this is a stupid thing to
Speaker 3: waste your time on. The Florida Wildlife Commission people said,
Speaker 3: we are aware of the video has been reported to
Speaker 3: us several times. An officer has been assigned to handle
Speaker 3: the investigation. It's currently ongoing at this time.
Speaker 1: From my experience, that means they will show up at
Speaker 1: your work and try to get your boss to give
Speaker 1: up your location so that they can visit you at
Speaker 1: your house so that they can invest to gate you
Speaker 1: for you know, your collection of piranhas.
Speaker 2: Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: You're making this sound like it's about me or something.
Speaker 1: For God, Si, I was talking about the hypothetical you
Speaker 1: that you were talking about.
Speaker 3: I let's just be real. This has happened to me before.
Speaker 3: Somebody ratted me out hearing me talk on the radio,
Speaker 3: and they said.
Speaker 1: This is a bad man. Somebody ratted you out. You talked.
Speaker 1: You said it on the radio, I know, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't that. The people listened and they just started.
Speaker 3: Somebody called them and was like, hey, this guy has piranhas.
Speaker 3: He's a bad, bad man, you know, and say get
Speaker 3: on the phone, and they go, can we come by
Speaker 3: your house? I said no, and they said why not?
Speaker 3: And I go, shut out? Why when do you come
Speaker 3: to my house where you gonna hang out with me?
Speaker 13: Pal?
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a couple of beers. No, No, that's
Speaker 1: what they do. They want you to open the door
Speaker 1: to them so they could look around and try to
Speaker 1: arrest you for something. Arrest you for like touching an
Speaker 1: alligator for three seconds. I think it's stupid, I do.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's one final details.
Speaker 14: Statement sent to West two News. A spokesperson for f
Speaker 14: w C says we are aware of the video. It
Speaker 14: has been reported to us several times. An officer has
Speaker 14: been assigned to handle the investigation, and it is currently
Speaker 14: ongoing at this time. F w C says it's illegal
Speaker 14: to feed, entice, or capture alligators in our state, except
Speaker 14: for permanent hunters or trappers during alligator hunting.
Speaker 3: Feed entye or what was the last one or feed
Speaker 3: and tys or harassed.
Speaker 1: What does she say, let me go back, hang on.
Speaker 14: For alligators in our state except for permanently ongoing at
Speaker 14: this time. F w C says it's illegal to feed, entice,
Speaker 14: or capture alligators.
Speaker 3: Okay, feed, And so they're saying she enticed it, bye,
Speaker 3: sure by touching the.
Speaker 1: Back of the you know, back of the neck. Touch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's still going to be a gator, folks. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so this is called Savannah. I don't need to call
Speaker 1: Savannah to know that Gatorland has a giant place full
Speaker 1: of gators that they interact with all the time, and
Speaker 1: they will still eat all of their hands off. All right,
Speaker 1: the alligator is still going to alligator. You're not going
Speaker 1: to touch the alligator in the back and then some
Speaker 1: little kid gets gobbled up because of it.
Speaker 3: This is stupid. It's just stupid. This is not what
Speaker 3: this should be, what these kind of laws should be for.
Speaker 3: And I feel this is like really a dumb way
Speaker 3: to target this person.
Speaker 1: But go for it, Josh, I mean, the level of
Speaker 1: joshing happening here is unbelievable. Let us know what you think.
Speaker 1: Maybe you think that the woman.
Speaker 3: Was in the wrong and she should be like arrested
Speaker 3: or or there should be a punishment for he hit
Speaker 3: us up with an email tips t Ips at the

Speaker 3: and interesting. But I promised to pick a side, so
Speaker 3: we're gonna do that next. We're gonna do that, and
Speaker 3: we'll do the hot Sheet.
Speaker 1: We'll roll on.
Speaker 3: Into the second half of the show. Before you know it,
Speaker 3: it's all coming up next on The News Junkie. Big
Speaker 3: thanks to shark Bait for the gifted subscription Premium subscription
Speaker 3: over on the news.
Speaker 2: Chunky dot Calm.
Speaker 3: Somebody gobble that up. Gobble it up fast over there
Speaker 3: on the website. Thanks for the big support. That's a
Speaker 3: gobbled noise in case you were wondering, dom Dom DMR.
Speaker 1: Let's do it.
Speaker 3: It's time again, everybody. It's it's everybody's favorite moment on
Speaker 3: the show. It's time for a pick a side where
Speaker 3: I present. This is where I show you a clip
Speaker 3: that is actively going viral on social media and you
Speaker 3: determine who is right and who is wrong all of
Speaker 3: those things.
Speaker 1: All right, you're gonna pick a side in this situation.
Speaker 1: This pick a side is an old man on the
Speaker 1: trail somewhere, and on the other side of it is
Speaker 1: these young women. They get into an altercation.
Speaker 3: And one of the young women, well, she makes it
Speaker 3: a memorable one for this guy. So that there's a
Speaker 3: basic primer on this. Let's dive in together. We start
Speaker 3: off on a nature trail.
Speaker 1: Type area and these young women have parked in an
Speaker 1: area that this guy does not want them to park in.
Speaker 1: Let's pick a side. Let's see who is wrong. Here
Speaker 1: we go with this currently viral video. All right, a
Speaker 1: little bit of aggressive, aggressive moves on this dude's part.
Speaker 1: He comes up, he's got like a walking stick in
Speaker 1: one hand and two fishing poles on the other hand.
Speaker 1: And he walks up to these young girls who had
Speaker 1: just parked along this road, and the man says like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know you're.
Speaker 3: Not about to park here, basically, and she says, whoa,
Speaker 3: you know, back up, don't don't come up on us
Speaker 3: like that, which I mean, I think she has the
Speaker 3: right to feel that way, like I don't want anybody
Speaker 3: pulling up on me kind of aggressive like that. He
Speaker 3: did kind of seem to do that as he walked
Speaker 3: up to him.
Speaker 9: I don't.
Speaker 1: Ye because you're stupid and.
Speaker 2: Back away from right now.
Speaker 3: She said, back away from me right now. And I
Speaker 3: believe she said, I will bear mace you right now. No,
Speaker 3: I've never been maceed.
Speaker 1: You guys been mased? No, I yeah, we've been like
Speaker 1: in the proximity of a pepper spraying. Okay, but I
Speaker 1: remember direct Yeah, all right, we're not even together. Both
Speaker 1: used to happen kind of frequently. Yeah, this this guy
Speaker 1: has been told step back or I'm going to pepper
Speaker 1: spray you.
Speaker 3: I'm going to bear spray you. And he is determined
Speaker 3: to get them to not park in this space.
Speaker 1: We're about to leave, like we're literally leaving.
Speaker 12: Okay, then walk away.
Speaker 1: We we already said that we were leaving.
Speaker 13: That was the.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The first thing that came out of my mouth was
Speaker 1: allowed to park. Okay, and we're leaving.
Speaker 7: Why would I apologize.
Speaker 1: Because you were being disrespectful to start with? Okay, well
Speaker 1: we're leaving.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Oh I see it out already. She has the bear
Speaker 1: race out in her hand.
Speaker 2: She has it.
Speaker 3: It's it's a big like it looks like a cann
Speaker 3: of raid or something.
Speaker 1: And I think, like early on in the pick a side,
Speaker 1: I'm on the side of the girls right now because
Speaker 1: this one girl is in the middle of making a
Speaker 1: pretty good point. Hey, bro, this is not your rule.
Speaker 1: You are just a fisherman with a walking stick and
Speaker 1: that attitude. You are not a park ranger. This is
Speaker 1: not your park. If they're breaking the rules and you
Speaker 1: have a problem with it, you can go to the
Speaker 1: proper authorities. But it's not up to you. See, And
Speaker 1: that's at the core of so many of these though,
Speaker 1: isn't it yes that somebody has decided to enforce something
Speaker 1: that's none of their business. So he's gone up and
Speaker 1: he's told these women like, hey, you can't park here,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be the one to enforce this right now.
Speaker 3: And that's where this guy's coming from. So I'll go
Speaker 3: back just a little bit here because the two girls.
Speaker 3: And by the way, when you're this older guy, I
Speaker 3: don't know how young these girls are, but they look
Speaker 3: pretty young, maybe like late teens or something. They're old enough, twenties,
Speaker 3: maybe the twenties, maybe they're in their twenties. If you're
Speaker 3: an old ass man, sometimes you got to look around
Speaker 3: and go, this ain't good. Let me just get out
Speaker 3: of here, let me pack my bags, let me get
Speaker 3: out of here. Let somebody else deal with this. But
Speaker 3: he doesn't do that. He gets up in her face
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 12: The first thing that came out of my mouth was park,
Speaker 12: that's okay, and we're leaving.
Speaker 1: Why would I apologize with you because you were being
Speaker 1: disrespectful to start with leaving? Yeah, that we have to
Speaker 1: apologize for. Oh whol we tried to whip her with
Speaker 1: a fishing pole. Holy cow, which, by the way, the
Speaker 1: fishing pole thing, I can excuse. No matter who's in
Speaker 1: the right and who's in the wrong. If you just
Speaker 1: got bear sprayed, you would whip your mother with a
Speaker 1: fishing pole? You forget, yes, So the.
Speaker 2: Fishing pole part was absolutely fair.
Speaker 3: Even if you're picking their side because he's being a
Speaker 3: nosey nobody you think that I just reaction is to
Speaker 3: hit him with a fishing pole.
Speaker 1: I said, I was picking their side up until that
Speaker 1: point because the visual on this is not great for them.
Speaker 3: They look like they're going after this guy pretty hard.
Speaker 3: And then she really sprayed him with the bear spray.
Speaker 1: Man, was he moving towards Canada or what?
Speaker 3: He was moving down the road but closer to some
Speaker 3: of them?
Speaker 1: You just, what is wrong with you? Okay? Do you
Speaker 1: have just gotten bear spray? He does seem way too
Speaker 1: okay for the bear spraying. Does it take a second?
Speaker 1: I would hope not.
Speaker 3: But the situations that you're relying on this for, you
Speaker 3: don't need it to take a second.
Speaker 6: You want to just done mauling you before it starts crying. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Over on chat insecure, Walkers says she.
Speaker 1: Chased him down. She chased him now, all right, I
Speaker 1: think of this as not a bear spraying. But if
Speaker 1: she had shot a gun at him, his back was
Speaker 1: facing her.
Speaker 2: She was not in immediate danger.
Speaker 3: No, but she's gonna say, I'm just guessing here that
Speaker 3: she's gonna say he was headed towards the friend group
Speaker 3: further down the road. So when he guts up right here,
Speaker 3: she's got the bear spray. She's warned him multiple times
Speaker 3: just leave us alone. And then he starts going. He's
Speaker 3: not towards her.
Speaker 1: She's bear spraying him in the back of the head.
Speaker 1: That might be the only reason he's okay. Not a
Speaker 1: lot of it hit his eyes. It looks like it
Speaker 1: totally painted his face. Yes, he looks a lot redder.
Speaker 1: I think it completely painted his face.
Speaker 3: So then they try to get in the car here
Speaker 3: and let's see what happens next. I think there might
Speaker 3: be another they're trying to get in the re suv.
Speaker 3: It's another angle. Is this his dog?
Speaker 1: Because I think the guy is walking around with the
Speaker 1: dog and there's this adorable dog just kind of looping
Speaker 1: between the people, like saying hello to the girls and dog.
Speaker 1: The dog is like, what's going on?
Speaker 3: What's happening around here? This is back before he got
Speaker 3: pepper sprayed. Again, there's a girl with a tumbler down
Speaker 3: the road. Maybe he was headed towards her.
Speaker 1: I think she's the one filming the other angle.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she is right here. You should have said,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Why would I apologize to you, polygarch bro, It's not
Speaker 1: your role, Okay. The second one was warranted fight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the second one was when he's swinging around the fishing pole.
Speaker 2: So, I mean, I get it.
Speaker 1: I think that this thing is solved though, by just
Speaker 1: minding your own business, isn't it. Like if he doesn't
Speaker 1: go over there, she doesn't say get away from me,
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna pepper spray or a bear spray you,
Speaker 1: and this never happens. But I don't know, like legally
Speaker 1: being able to do that. The escalation on that girl's
Speaker 1: point was way out of bounds, I think, you know.
Speaker 1: And you can see in the video that the first
Speaker 1: peper bear spray she does to the back of his head.
Speaker 1: He wasn't headed towards the other girl. He might have
Speaker 1: been headed towards a vehicle. But like, look at what
Speaker 1: we're what we're looking at here and watches watch the
Speaker 1: other angle to go further in the video to the
Speaker 1: second angle. The second angle, I need second angle, first
Speaker 1: bear spray. All right, second angle, first bear spray. I
Speaker 1: can provide that. She's getting it ready by the way
Speaker 1: right here. Yeah, when she walks by him, she gets
Speaker 1: her bear spray. She's looking on the pin or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's getting ready, so she knows she's going to
Speaker 3: bear spray this guy. She wants to spray his ass too.
Speaker 1: She sprayed him so good too.
Speaker 2: Oh god, that's what I said.
Speaker 1: I was on the girl's side and he was being obnoxious,
Speaker 1: and then she just went, maybe it was maybe she's
Speaker 1: always wanted to use that bear spray or something like that.
Speaker 1: You know, you're picking inside. I'm saying, everyone's the asshole.
Speaker 1: But you can't. You have to pick a side. You
Speaker 1: have to pick him.
Speaker 2: I can't pick him because he's terrible.
Speaker 1: I picked the dog.
Speaker 2: You can't pick the dog. The dog is on here.
Speaker 1: I am picking her side, and solely because he should
Speaker 1: have minded his own business. Number One, She warned him
Speaker 1: multiple times. Why is he getting into it with these
Speaker 1: young girls?
Speaker 13: For you?
Speaker 1: He warned him multiple times, But then she shot him
Speaker 1: with the bear spray when he looked like he was
Speaker 1: walking away the thing that she was asking him to
Speaker 1: do the whole time. He ain't gonna do it again,
Speaker 1: is he? He's not gonna do that again. He's see
Speaker 1: some young group of girls out there trying to enjoy
Speaker 1: your day out of the wilderness.
Speaker 3: He probably learned a lesson. Take a while to get
Speaker 3: that bear mace off your face. For God's sake, I
Speaker 3: picked the girl's side. I think they warned him plenty
Speaker 3: of times. I think they warned him plenty of times.
Speaker 3: But he kept over there and he's trying to enforce
Speaker 3: the law. He's not a cop, he's not any of
Speaker 3: these people. What's going on here that you really care
Speaker 3: that much about stuff like this that you're gonna investigate.
Speaker 3: A Vendesa on Twitch says, I don't care what everything's
Speaker 3: moving fast, I don't care what the guy is doing.
Speaker 3: To be honest, she warned him and he did not
Speaker 3: walk away. I agree with that, but I still want
Speaker 3: to think about, like, just because he did warn her,
Speaker 3: you can't just warn somebody and then be right, Like
Speaker 3: if you took it back to what was this story
Speaker 3: with a track meet where the Austin kid, Austin Metcalf,
Speaker 3: where he got stabbed. The young guy that's now serving
Speaker 3: thirty years or whatever in jail for Austin Metcalf's murder
Speaker 3: said he warned him. He's like, you better get your
Speaker 3: hands off me. I'm gonna get you, and then he
Speaker 3: stabbed him. But the law said he didn't have a
Speaker 3: right to respond in that way because he didn't have
Speaker 3: a real threat going on. Yeah, the Carmelo Anthony case, now,
Speaker 3: I know that's obviously way.
Speaker 1: More intense than this.
Speaker 3: But she warned him, But did he do anything that
Speaker 3: warranted her reaction. I think he did the opposite of
Speaker 3: warranting that reaction because it looked like he was walking away.
Speaker 1: It's the hole. You can't shoot somebody in the back thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm still supporting her because I think it's hilarious
Speaker 3: that they just drilled this guy with bear spread.
Speaker 1: She's just at a distance.
Speaker 3: By the way, she's got like he there's something hilarious
Speaker 3: about the aesthetic of this.
Speaker 2: He is like outdoorsy.
Speaker 3: He kind of looks like a grown up version of
Speaker 3: the little kid from up with like the cub Scout
Speaker 3: uniform on. He's got a backpack and his two fishing
Speaker 3: poles and his dog, Like he's literally the kid from
Speaker 3: up And she is like this teeny bopper with these
Speaker 3: minuscule shorts on and this tiny little top on who
Speaker 3: weighs all of like one hundred pounds, soaken wet. Just
Speaker 3: the vision of the two of them. Oh God, it's
Speaker 3: something to behold. I'll put this up on see it now.
Speaker 3: I'll put it up on see it now, so you
Speaker 3: guys can take a look.
Speaker 1: Josh, did you pick a side? You can't pick the dog.
Speaker 1: You can't do it.
Speaker 6: I'm kind of with sea Lane here. I think he was.
Speaker 6: I think he gave up and he was walking away.
Speaker 1: All right, Josh says, the guy was in the right, right,
Speaker 1: You picked that side. It's all about picking a side.
Speaker 1: Who do you pick? Let us know who was in
Speaker 1: the right here, who was in the wrong? Pick a
Speaker 1: side in their.
Speaker 3: Because now you just got to make a song young
Speaker 3: girls with the bear spray or the old man out
Speaker 3: there enforcing laws that have nothing to do with Josh.
Speaker 1: This has become such a thing. I told Sean this morning.
Speaker 1: He texted me, Hey, can I got this pic aside?
Speaker 1: Can you censor it? And I was like, you're pushing
Speaker 1: the pick a side thing. I'm really surprised. I haven't
Speaker 1: gotten the text yet. There was like, I'm gonna need
Speaker 1: you to make a picaicide song.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we should do that because I enjoy it. I
Speaker 3: think you guys do too. Let us know what you think.
Speaker 3: Who is in the right A generational battle for the ages?
Speaker 1: True? Absolutely true. All right, we're gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 3: When we come back, we will of course do the
Speaker 3: hot sheet and get into the second half of the show.
Speaker 2: Big drama on the way.
Speaker 3: A lot of stuff we haven't even gotten into just yet,
Speaker 3: including that Charlie Kirk testimony, which is kind of a
Speaker 3: wild ride in and of itself, and AI Radio trying
Speaker 3: to take our jobs. That's all coming up next in
Speaker 3: the news chunk Ky.
Speaker 1: When I saw this, I was like, let's just abandon
Speaker 1: this entire country and start over. It's China, so it's
Speaker 1: like a lot of territory they're going to be giving up.
Speaker 1: But I guess there was a typhoon that hit China.
Speaker 1: I'll put this up on see it now.
Speaker 3: Because the visual is unbelievable and an entire town is
Speaker 3: now living in fear because the floodwaters from this typhoon
Speaker 3: released all of these snakes, including a whole bunch of
Speaker 3: like cobras. There's nine hundred of them that are that
Speaker 3: are wandering around here here.
Speaker 1: Check this out. I'll put this on CNL. That's those
Speaker 1: are cobras, cobra snakes.
Speaker 3: And the water, oh god, just floating around out there,
Speaker 3: all around this entire neighborhood. Because nine hundred of them
Speaker 3: got out of this cobra snake farm and they said
Speaker 3: a lot of the are not venomous, but some cobra's
Speaker 3: got loose and they're just chasing them around out there.
Speaker 2: I would stay as far away.
Speaker 3: From this as humanly possible, but yeah, all over the place.
Speaker 3: One confirmed snake bite.
Speaker 1: They said thirty five inches of rain in parts of
Speaker 1: this area. But there's just they're poking out of the water.
Speaker 1: They look like, uh, what's the lockness monster? Little luckness
Speaker 1: monster looking things. I'll put this up in mons. That's
Speaker 1: what they look like to me. I'll put that up
Speaker 1: so you can see the visual when you get a chance.
Speaker 1: In the app or at the news junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Let's do the hot sheets sheets the new news, but
Speaker 1: not like news. That's again be parting on the planet.
Speaker 1: Pose top stories from the people on your screens. Men
Speaker 1: speakers are on the hot sheets with sea Lane. That's right.
Speaker 1: If the top five stories in the nonsense news brought
Speaker 1: to you by that mortgage guy Don And we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that mortgage guy Don and just to say I
Speaker 1: can hear. But first, h I don't know how I
Speaker 1: feel about this. First of all, at one point it's
Speaker 1: making me feel a little old. But I also don't
Speaker 1: know if they're going to do this justice. It just it.
Speaker 1: I'm nervous. Hollywood is remaking a movie that I remember
Speaker 1: going to see in the movie theater. They're rebooting a
Speaker 1: movie from my childhood. It's this one right here, Oh
Speaker 1: Filly Willy, very shut up?
Speaker 2: Really yeah?
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I mean there's a banger. Are they going
Speaker 1: to do it with a real well or real well
Speaker 1: last time? So it's a jump hard. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that was a real maybe it well maybe not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe some of that was a little fake. Warner Brothers
Speaker 1: developing a reimaging it says reimaging. I thought reimagining would
Speaker 1: be the word there of the nineties family adventure movie
Speaker 1: Free Willy, produced by Anthony and Joe Russo's ag b o.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 1: They've tapped somebody for the screenplay and they they're they're
Speaker 1: going with it. There said Free Willie's coming Back. It
Speaker 1: was the movie about an orphan boy who befriends of
Speaker 1: captive Orca becomes a global phenomenon, releasing a hundred you know,
Speaker 1: grossing one hundred and fifty three point seven million dollars
Speaker 1: worldwide on a twenty million dollar budget. Twenty million dollars
Speaker 1: for Oh my gosh, are you kidding me?
Speaker 13: What?
Speaker 1: Come on? Come on, guys, come on. Somebody sent in
Speaker 1: a photo dispatch of sea lanes stuck in the plane window.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Actually, yeah, it looks like I'm having fun,
Speaker 1: but I can. I can assure you I would not be.
Speaker 16: Uh.
Speaker 1: They've got a g bo's Angela Russo, Michael Disco what
Speaker 1: a great name. Uh, and Casey White will be producing
Speaker 1: the film, and the they've they've got like all the
Speaker 1: things lined up. I don't think they have any actors yet,
Speaker 1: but they're just like coming out here going, you know,
Speaker 1: guys were doing it get ready for Freely two. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they're going to go with Michael Jackson
Speaker 1: this time around.
Speaker 2: Probably who's our current Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1: We have another person that we can lean on. I
Speaker 1: don't want Michael jo anybody our current Michael Jackson because
Speaker 1: it sounds like I'm calling them.
Speaker 3: About is called Josh Fowler, you know, our very own
Speaker 3: Michael Jackson. I mean, like a pop star, like you know,
Speaker 3: somebody who's big shocking personality.
Speaker 6: Like represented in a big blockbuster success without all the
Speaker 6: other stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah and Jesus juice and stuff. Oh that put that
Speaker 1: in there too. I mean Bruno Mars is the most
Speaker 1: similar in style, I think, in like musical style, not
Speaker 1: kid stuff, so he could be him, or maybe they'll
Speaker 1: go with like a country person, you know. All right, Okay,
Speaker 1: well we'll put this out there, but I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if there's a big appetite for free Willy to be
Speaker 1: brought back, the bringing back all kinds of stuff. They
Speaker 1: brought back Mawana this weekend. Oh yeah that h There
Speaker 1: was actually a really good review about the Moana live
Speaker 1: action remake the Disney put out. That makes one of them,
Speaker 1: because that movie is getting hammered. That's why I was
Speaker 1: surprised to see at least one article say like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know this Moana might be and maybe this is
Speaker 1: the telltale like that this might be the best live
Speaker 1: action remake Disney's ever done, which doesn't say much about
Speaker 1: the rest of Disney's live action remakes. But do you
Speaker 1: have a picture of the rock It's got thirty six
Speaker 1: percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 3: That's a really low opening for the new live action Mohanna.
Speaker 3: But let's see Moana rock hair. The wig is just
Speaker 3: so hilarious, Like it's so that here's a good show.
Speaker 1: This is a good reason to watch the show, folks, because.
Speaker 3: As preposterous looking, it looks like he was making a
Speaker 3: joke and he was like he wore this onto the
Speaker 3: set and.
Speaker 1: He goes, all right, I'm just kidding, I' kidding. Let's
Speaker 1: get the come on the Maui wig. I guess we're
Speaker 1: all just gonna be going back to cable at some
Speaker 1: point or some version some emulation of cable, because all
Speaker 1: of the streaming service are coseplaying as cable providers now,
Speaker 1: it says here Netflix. As they've faced declining engagement on
Speaker 1: some of its biggest hits, the streamer is reportedly exploring
Speaker 1: new routes to entice viewers, including live TV and streaming bundles.
Speaker 1: Everything Netflix was not. Executives discussed the idea of adding
Speaker 1: themed live channels that would stream shows or films of
Speaker 1: a certain genre, which I think is something Disney Plus
Speaker 1: already does. Like I think you could put on like
Speaker 1: a a virtual channel like in quotes where they're just
Speaker 1: showing a couple of their ips over and over again,
Speaker 1: like a Star Wars channel or something. Yeah, you just
Speaker 1: like that. You treat it like a like what they're
Speaker 1: calling linear television. They've they've named the old thing, they
Speaker 1: put a new name on it, but they've added the theme.
Speaker 1: They're adding they're discussing adding the theme live channels that
Speaker 1: would stream shows or films of a certain genre should
Speaker 1: the streamer move forward. The feature would replicate the linear
Speaker 1: TV model that Netflix revolutionized was streaming over fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1: The news comes as Netflix SE's viewership downticks for some
Speaker 1: of its biggest series, including the four seasons Avatar, The
Speaker 1: Last Airbender, Running Point one Piece, and Beef. Even though
Speaker 1: you've got a bunch of nominations for in the Emmys,
Speaker 1: they have had a really hard time the Beef thing.
Speaker 1: I don't think is fair because Beef is a totally
Speaker 1: different cast, totally different story. They were trying to do
Speaker 1: this thing where season one is a beef between two
Speaker 1: people and a road rage incin it, and then season
Speaker 1: two is like a totally different thing, different beef.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like you don't have the same actors, you
Speaker 3: don't have the same story. Of course it's going to
Speaker 3: lose audience, but I guess they have a huge problem
Speaker 3: with that with the second season not being super successful.
Speaker 1: It even says later in this article that they have
Speaker 1: also explored bundling other streaming subscriptions, including Peacock, leading into
Speaker 1: an add on strategy the Prime Video and Apple TV
Speaker 1: Plus have already embraced. I mean, if you you are
Speaker 1: a cord cutter and are doing everything above board, you're
Speaker 1: just I mean, you're paying just as much. Are you
Speaker 1: saving money or are you just paying dude, exactly what
Speaker 1: you're paying the cable company before. It doesn't seem to
Speaker 1: make sense. Britney Spears turned some heads on the freeway
Speaker 1: the other day. I put I put the link in
Speaker 1: the in the thing you shop stuff. I put the
Speaker 1: link in the thing. Britney Spears made everyone in the
Speaker 1: valley and made sure they knew it's Britney Bitch sticking
Speaker 1: half her body out of her g wagon while riding
Speaker 1: down the freeway. Oh she is, Yeah, she's like full on,
Speaker 1: like hanging out of the sunroof of this sucker. Is
Speaker 1: this illegal? Like I feel like it's one of those
Speaker 1: things that's fun and you could you could do. But
Speaker 1: by the way, the freeway in California in LA traffic,
Speaker 1: she's probably not going that fast. I wouldn't think so,
Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, they're going down the one oh one.
Speaker 1: There's no way they're going that fast. Brittany was seen
Speaker 1: Thursday dangling her upper body outside the sunroof, much like
Speaker 1: that picture of me and the plane of her luxury
Speaker 1: sugc They're now it's taking it. Aj soup has made
Speaker 1: you more a little more scared. God, they're slowly but
Speaker 1: surely getting it. More terror is entering your eyes as
Speaker 1: you're hanging out of this plane window. I look like
Speaker 1: that lady on Letterman who could pop her eyes out
Speaker 1: of her sockets on stupid human tricks. It says, hopefully
Speaker 1: the classic LA traffic was making sure Britney's car wasn't
Speaker 1: going too fast because seat belts don't tend to work
Speaker 1: when they're below the knees. This one close close to
Speaker 1: one source close to Brittany tells TMZ the singer's doing
Speaker 1: well and this would just be good, clean fun back
Speaker 1: home in Louisiana and also Keith Richards has revealed the
Speaker 1: secret to long life. Do you want to know? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 3: He's still alive after all the stuff he's put his
Speaker 3: body through.
Speaker 1: I don't believe him for a second. They said they
Speaker 1: have an answer directly from Richards himself. In a new
Speaker 1: interview with Apple Music Zanelow, Richards made the secret to
Speaker 1: his immortality immortality quite plain. Healthy living, go to bed early.
Speaker 1: There's nothing like it. That's the formula. Be a good boy. No, sorry,
Speaker 1: what Richards? Didn't you crush up your dad's ashes and
Speaker 1: mix them with blow? What are you talking about? Healthy living?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's I think he's pulling a fast one on everybody.
Speaker 3: He's gone the other direction, by the way, real quick.
Speaker 3: For this is just for the streamers, just for the
Speaker 3: folks hanging out with us today on YouTube and Twitch.
Speaker 3: There was another incident like this where somebody popped out
Speaker 3: of their car like Britney Spears did. But this lady
Speaker 3: was a World Cup fan and I had to share
Speaker 3: this with you guys. She's partying, right, She's hanging out
Speaker 3: of the door of the car and she pops her
Speaker 3: top off here and she's like I'm just gonna go.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna let loose. I'm gonna let loose. And she's partying.
Speaker 3: She's like world cup bebe there you go. She's gonna
Speaker 3: come Umbia football football. She's shaking them.
Speaker 1: And then completely out of the car. She's the guy
Speaker 1: turned a little bit. You fell completely out of the car.
Speaker 1: Oh god, there you go. An exclusive for you streamer folks.
Speaker 1: That was fun. Hey, if you want to get yourself
Speaker 1: into your dream home, mortgage rates are headed down and
Speaker 1: are at nearly three year lows. So if you have
Speaker 1: a quote, and you are a smart person, a person
Speaker 1: who would shop around for many other things, time to
Speaker 1: shop around for that mortgage quote. Time to call that
Speaker 1: mortgage guy don or visit him at that mortgage guy
Speaker 1: don dot com. We're gonna bust into the second half
Speaker 1: of the show today and we are just getting started.
Speaker 2: Big tanks. By the way, to snafu.
Speaker 1: Secret Show subscription, we appreciate you name yesterday Snafoo, thank
Speaker 1: you for.
Speaker 2: The Secret Show subscription.
Speaker 3: The premium subscription on the neewsjunkie dot com claim that
Speaker 3: if you get a chance, a new Secret Show posts
Speaker 3: every Friday at five pm Eastern Back with more in
Speaker 3: just a moment, including we got to get into the
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk stuff. I got a couple of things. One
Speaker 3: is about parents getting fined, and we got this AI
Speaker 3: radio station thing.
Speaker 2: Sea Lane said this to me a bit ago.
Speaker 3: All of that will be coming up after this week
Speaker 3: in Florida, which is coming up next on The News Junkie.
Speaker 3: We have a lot to get to and we will
Speaker 3: get into this week in Florida in just a moment.
Speaker 3: Ed emails the show though real quickly tips at.
Speaker 1: The News Junkie dot com. This was the pick aside
Speaker 1: about the old man who is trying to tell these
Speaker 1: young women, you can't park your car here along this
Speaker 1: like nature preserve, can't park your car here? This sad?
Speaker 1: What's it your business? And he's kind of enforcing the
Speaker 1: parking rules in.
Speaker 3: This parking lot and these young girls they bear sprayed
Speaker 3: up or they've maceed him or whatever with bear spray
Speaker 3: and spray them right in the face. Those whole face
Speaker 3: turned like a red color from the bear spray, and
Speaker 3: Ed says, this is my take. You can't just go
Speaker 3: over to anybody, stir up some trouble and then cry victim.
Speaker 3: Absolutely not you can't shoot anybody in the back, So
Speaker 3: what should a person do show the assailant that you
Speaker 3: mean business, whether it's with a gun or bear spray. Yes,
Speaker 3: his back was turned. Who's to say that he wasn't
Speaker 3: turning his back to go grab a knife for a gun.
Speaker 2: That's a bit of a stretch. So I picked the
Speaker 2: girl's side.
Speaker 3: If you mind your business and leave people alone, you
Speaker 3: don't get the business, says Ed. It will take more
Speaker 3: of your thoughts as we roll along on the show today.
Speaker 3: I mean, he thinks it is, he said. The guy
Speaker 3: turned around. What if he was grabbing a knife for
Speaker 3: a gun? You could just say that anytime then if
Speaker 3: you wanted to. I feel like, are you ready?
Speaker 1: Though? I am ready? All right, let's do this Week
Speaker 1: in Florida, give you a weekend of the most grown
Speaker 1: worthy stories in the States. It's this Week in Florida.
Speaker 1: Good on you for remembering, you know, just bang up job.
Speaker 1: It is the weekend and it is time to take
Speaker 1: a trip around the great state of Florida, the Sunshine State,
Speaker 1: and see some of the craziness that has gone on
Speaker 1: in the past seven days or so. And boy, do
Speaker 1: I have good news for my hometown of Orlando. Baby, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: congratulations Orlando. For years, the Greater Orlando area carried a
Speaker 1: grim title the deadliest place in the US for pedestrians.
Speaker 1: But a new report has been released and it says
Speaker 1: while Orlando is falling in the rankings, other communities are
Speaker 1: moving up. But the Smart Growth America report says the
Speaker 1: Orlando area fell from number one on this list to
Speaker 1: twenty five. Oh that's good, we're doing it. You know,
Speaker 1: people are staying alive. New six traffic safety expert Trooper Steve,
Speaker 1: who's a swell guy, says the changes againt, but not
Speaker 1: a signal to ease up. We didn't just jump from
Speaker 1: first to second place. We went from first to twenty fifth.
Speaker 1: That's a big jump. The report found four hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty three pedestrian desks from twenty fifteen to twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: and the Orlando area region studied from twenty twenty to
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. That number felt to only four nineteen,
Speaker 1: So I guess the I guess it's pretty close in
Speaker 1: numbers in all these areas. But it did take us
Speaker 1: down to twenty fifth place. The top spot in the
Speaker 1: country now Memphis, Tennessee, Oh be careful walking around. Walking
Speaker 1: in Memphis could really really get you in a bad spot.
Speaker 1: That's what they say. It's a whole there's a whole
Speaker 1: song about it. Yeah. We talked briefly about this on Monday,
Speaker 1: but out of Daphne, Alabama, ex Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew
Speaker 1: Gillim was arrested once again on drug possession charges. Andrew
Speaker 1: Gillim just the guy really likes to party, He really
Speaker 1: likes his drugs. The former candidate for governor of Florida
Speaker 1: has been arrested on drug possession charges in Alabama after
Speaker 1: police say they pulled him over for erratic driving and
Speaker 1: found marijuana and meth in his vehicle, the latest legal
Speaker 1: trouble for the ex Tallahassee mayor, who narrowly lost to
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis for governor in twenty eighteen was once considered
Speaker 1: a rising star of the Democratic Party. The police department
Speaker 1: said officers stopped Gilliam's vehicle around ten forty five pm
Speaker 1: and initiated a probable cost search after one of them
Speaker 1: noticed a glass pipe on the center console. They found
Speaker 1: several ruled marijuana cigarettes and three packages of a substance
Speaker 1: that tested positive for meth. Back in twenty twenty, as
Speaker 1: you may remember, Gillim was found in the Miami Beach
Speaker 1: Hotel room with a man who had apparently overdosed on drugs,
Speaker 1: and Gilim was too inebriated to talk about what happened.
Speaker 1: The man survived and no one was ever charged with
Speaker 1: a crime for the od, but Gilliam withdrew from public
Speaker 1: life for months, seeking treatment for alcohol abuse and depression.
Speaker 1: He later told a TV interviewer he had come to
Speaker 1: grips with what he had done. He also was arrested
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two I did on federal conspiracy and
Speaker 1: wire fraud charges for allegedly funneling tens of thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars in campaign donations through third parties back to himself
Speaker 1: for personal use. This guy's a wild one. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: got a lot of problems, that Andrew Gillen. But hope
Speaker 1: he gets help. Now to Port Saint Lucy, well, I mean,
Speaker 1: is this that bad? Is this a crime? We're find out? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're about to find out. A ride share driver's trip
Speaker 1: took an unexpected turn outside the Port Saint Lucy Police
Speaker 1: department when officers said an unruly passenger refused to get
Speaker 1: out of the vehicle while inhaling nitrous oxside. So you
Speaker 1: got doing whippets in an uber? Is that bad? Get out?
Speaker 1: It's real slow. If that's bad her, this is a lady.
Speaker 1: If that's bad, then I'd like to go on record
Speaker 1: and say I've never done that. I've never done that
Speaker 1: with anybody. She doesn't look like the type.
Speaker 3: This is the woman who got busted for This ride
Speaker 3: share driver brings nitrous oxside huffing passenger straight to the police.
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, So the uber driver has this passenger.
Speaker 1: Passenger is doing whippets, huffing nitrous in the uber, and
Speaker 1: when they refuse to leave the vehicle, well, guess what.
Speaker 1: The driver is still driving the vehicle and can decide
Speaker 1: where to and where not to drive the passenger, and
Speaker 1: they decided we're driving straight to the police department this
Speaker 1: nitrous huffing passenger. Officers were called Wednesday afternoon to their
Speaker 1: own parking lot after the ride share driver drove directly
Speaker 1: to PSLPD for help. The passenger, identified as thirty seven
Speaker 1: year old Pamela Molina, was actively inhaling nitrous oxide from
Speaker 1: a large canister and would not leave the vehicle she's trying.
Speaker 1: Did you look like she has her life together more
Speaker 1: than to be the woman in the back of a
Speaker 1: car like that? Who am I?
Speaker 13: You know?
Speaker 1: Yeah? You know.
Speaker 2: I mean I'll put her mugshot up on see it
Speaker 2: now so you guys.
Speaker 1: Can take a peek. Some doesn't need fixing. Sometimes mug
Speaker 1: shots make you feel or make you look a lot worse.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, so, if that's the case for her,
Speaker 1: then I would like to see the premunk shot photo
Speaker 1: because she already has a good thing going there. But
Speaker 1: ultimately she was taken out of the video and arrested
Speaker 1: without further incident, charged with inhaling nitrous oxide to induce
Speaker 1: intoxication and resisting an officer without violence. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: never done that before. Good for you, not with any
Speaker 1: members of a reggae band so particular, it's almost like
Speaker 1: it's your own personal story. Over in New Samurna Beach,
Speaker 1: Volusia County, sheriff's sergeant is facing felony charges after video
Speaker 1: from a bar captured him in an intoxicated altercation with
Speaker 1: a senior couple while off duty. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys have seen this video. It's been going around.
Speaker 1: It's been on the news this week. Police responded to
Speaker 1: about four thirty pm to Merk's Bar and Grill, where
Speaker 1: Jason Stickles instigated a confrontation making unwanted contact with a
Speaker 1: couple seated near the bar. Stickles first battered a seventy
Speaker 1: one year old woman at the table and then battered
Speaker 1: her seventy seven year old husband. When he stepped into intervene,
Speaker 1: a bystander quickly subdued Stickles, taking him to the ground. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes when police officers mess up the whole,
Speaker 1: like police departments, like we stand by our man, you
Speaker 1: know coat blue, or with this guy chit would no,
Speaker 1: not at all, not not a thing he said. He
Speaker 1: told New six Tuesday. I have a seventy seven year
Speaker 1: old Vietnam veteran in the bar with his wife, and
Speaker 1: what you see in the video is thoroughly disgusting. It's
Speaker 1: sickening and doesn't represent what this organization stands for. Everyone
Speaker 1: wants to see him grounded into dust. Yeah, God, you
Speaker 1: have to take you have to take into account that
Speaker 1: I hire from the human race. We're all human. He
Speaker 1: made a horrible mistake. His career is over and he's
Speaker 1: embarrassed publicly, is what they said. This is yeah, this
Speaker 1: is the guy Merk's barring grill.
Speaker 3: I guess right, yes, yeah, so he fought a seventy
Speaker 3: one year old woman and then our seventy seven year
Speaker 3: old husband, Jesus man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a different bystander. That's choked out right there?
Speaker 1: Oh is it? Okay? Somebody says I used to work
Speaker 1: with this guy for real? Oh god right. There are
Speaker 1: a pair of twin brothers in Miami Dade County that
Speaker 1: have had quite a few run ins with the law,
Speaker 1: and they're in trouble again because deputy say, this pair
Speaker 1: of twin brothers who completed a pre trial diversion program
Speaker 1: after they were caught allowing RVs to dump ross sewage
Speaker 1: on their property near the Everglades in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: They said, haven't learned a damn thing from the pre
Speaker 1: trial diversion program because they just won't stop dumping sewage
Speaker 1: on the property. Okay, now there's an argument to be
Speaker 1: made that it is their own property, but I still
Speaker 1: think you can't do that. It's the hazard. It's a
Speaker 1: very big hazard. It's like a biological hazard. Yeah, authority
Speaker 1: said they were tipped off that there was still RVs
Speaker 1: on the property in Miami Dade County's rural Red Land area,
Speaker 1: and aerial surveillance back in January showed it was in
Speaker 1: substantially the same condition as it was three years ago.
Speaker 1: Mdso deputies went back to the property, which directly abuts
Speaker 1: the Everglades, so it's right there, up next to the Everglades,
Speaker 1: probably flowing right down to Alligator Alcatraz, and they took
Speaker 1: the forty seven year old twins in a custody on
Speaker 1: felony chargers of willful disregard for the environment and willful
Speaker 1: disregard of water pollution laws. These guys just they give well,
Speaker 1: I can't say they give zero s's, because it seems
Speaker 1: like they are giving a lot of s's. But they
Speaker 1: have been arrested for this three years ago before and
Speaker 1: just continue to dump their waste into their own property,
Speaker 1: which cheese gross and good luck selling that property if
Speaker 1: you ever want to. Now over to Carl Gables real quick,
Speaker 1: a panciless man broke into two, not one, but two
Speaker 1: Curl Gables apartments. Illegally entered two apartments that had been
Speaker 1: left unlocked early Sunday, apparently after a night of drinking.
Speaker 1: On the fourth of July, one of the victims check
Speaker 1: her in Hoome security cameras and saw that this Noah
Speaker 1: Alex dutz There had been inside her apartment for hours,
Speaker 1: touching his genitals on her couch. And I think, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, do you mean touching his genitals wow on
Speaker 1: her couch or touching his because he was pantiless and
Speaker 1: he was just sitting on the couch. It doesn't It
Speaker 1: doesn't say touching his genitals to her couch. I had
Speaker 1: the same question. It seems like he's sitting pantiless on
Speaker 1: her couch and also touching his genitals. All right, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe if we get a police reporter some we'll get
Speaker 1: something better. But I need clarity. And then it says
Speaker 1: filling a glass cup he had with him. He brought
Speaker 1: his own glass cup and filled it with her fireball whiskey.
Speaker 1: According to the arrest report, DUTs Her rummaged through the
Speaker 1: victim sofa, went in and out of her bedroom, walked
Speaker 1: in and out of her apartment multiple times, before sleeping
Speaker 1: on her couch. He took a little nappy nap, then
Speaker 1: he left and came back. Dutser noticed the victims in
Speaker 1: home security camera and turned it away from the living room.
Speaker 1: Well you bought the damage is already. Yeah, you'll never
Speaker 1: catch me now, according well, he said. The victim, who'd
Speaker 1: never seen Dutzer before, told him to leave, and Dutcher said,
Speaker 1: my fault, my fault. He told detectives he had been
Speaker 1: drinking for several hours at a bar on Geralda Avenue
Speaker 1: with some friends and only recalled arriving to the area
Speaker 1: with an unknown woman and last but notot leavest, this
Speaker 1: man is not a good dude, but I will I
Speaker 1: will say he has some patience. A man is facing
Speaker 1: a number of charges after allegedly catching his ex girlfriend
Speaker 1: cheating and dumping a backpack full of human excrement on her.
Speaker 2: Oh my, who how does one get a backpack?
Speaker 1: Well? You never mind, never, that's pretty easy. I've heard
Speaker 1: some dumb questions, but that why he was pooping in
Speaker 1: the back back. Daniel Nimiak, twenty years old, face is
Speaker 1: one charge of domestic violence strangulation, two charges of domestic
Speaker 1: violence battery in relation to a number of alleged attacks
Speaker 1: at his Coral Springs apartment that started in June. He
Speaker 1: caught the ex girlfriend cheating. It was very physical and
Speaker 1: a not so nice way, but the backpack full of
Speaker 1: poop was unnecessary and just a lot of work that
Speaker 1: nobody wants to do. And that's it for this week
Speaker 1: in Florida. Thank you, Sea Lane. I don't know what
Speaker 1: to do with myself to get a backpack full of poop? Well,
Speaker 1: what do you think, buddy?
Speaker 2: Come on, you know, I like to think better of
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 3: I like to think maybe there was some random series
Speaker 3: of events that led to this guy getting a backpack
Speaker 3: full of poop. And it wasn't literally him just sitting there.
Speaker 1: If it just said backpack full of poop, then you
Speaker 1: could go, well, what does he have a dog that
Speaker 1: he picks up after and just kind of collected a few.
Speaker 1: But no, he confessed to authorities to peeing and pooping
Speaker 1: in the bag as quote payback for her cheating end quote.
Speaker 1: The man said he thought he had just thrown the backpack,
Speaker 1: but could not recall where the items landed. Okay, all right, yep,
Speaker 1: all right, we got to do this AI radio station story.
Speaker 1: But I think we'll do that in the next segment here,
Speaker 1: and then after that we'll do all the stuff with
Speaker 1: the Charlie Kirk Trial and Jury Duty.
Speaker 3: There's some really good clips there. I think maybe the
Speaker 3: best bet now is tooke a very quick break.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'll show you one thing real quick. This
Speaker 1: is kind of crazy.
Speaker 3: There was an incident where a hot air balloon crashed
Speaker 3: in a parking lot.
Speaker 2: I loved the audio.
Speaker 3: Of this clip so much because this woman, I think,
Speaker 3: is filming this accident happening in real time. She's in
Speaker 3: a parking lot and the hot air balloon you can
Speaker 3: see here the hot air balloon is having problems and
Speaker 3: it's smashing into the vehicles.
Speaker 2: But the baby. I love how babies.
Speaker 3: Don't know the drama that's going on around them. The
Speaker 3: baby's like, wow, the baby's having a good time.
Speaker 1: Who smashing it? I feel the little kid's like whoa.
Speaker 1: The little kid has no idea. I like the danger.
Speaker 1: It's a woman that's still in the hot air balloon,
Speaker 1: like I'm so I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, you ain't gonna
Speaker 1: replace that windshield smashing into cars, Like the basket of
Speaker 1: the hunter balloon is smashing into all these vehicles in
Speaker 1: the parking lot, and the lady is she's going by.
Speaker 17: It's like, sorry, my dad, I love that I am.
Speaker 1: You know, I can explain I am so. I am apologetic.
Speaker 1: That's my dad. That is one advanced way to leave
Speaker 1: the scene of a crime. That is one one high
Speaker 1: not even high tech, because the hotter balloon is very
Speaker 1: low tech transportation method. See you later, all right, quick break,
Speaker 1: and we're back with all of this stuff I promised,
Speaker 1: and so much more coming up next than the news junkie.
Speaker 1: There's an AI radio station that is very frightening, I think,
Speaker 1: very very frightened.
Speaker 3: They're trying to take our jobs too. Now it was
Speaker 3: one thing when they were taking all of your jobs,
Speaker 3: but now that the AI is trying to take our
Speaker 3: jobs and now.
Speaker 1: There's nobody left to speak for it.
Speaker 3: First they came for right, yeah, and then now they're
Speaker 3: coming for us the radio host they used AI.
Speaker 1: Do you think this is real Sea Lane to start
Speaker 1: these radio stations that they did, well, I think this
Speaker 1: is really I think the we did the story a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, maybe that they did this, and
Speaker 1: I don't remember there being audio out. But they were
Speaker 1: trying to have the different AI models, the most popular
Speaker 1: ones like chatchebt, Claude, a couple others compete to see
Speaker 1: who could make a better radio station, right, And they
Speaker 1: had to do the program. They had to do all
Speaker 1: the content. I think they had to, don't I don't
Speaker 1: know if they had to do traffic weather they did.
Speaker 1: They did everything. Yeah, they had them do traffic weather,
Speaker 1: all the music, the whole format was created by these
Speaker 1: ais coming after our jobs in radio.
Speaker 2: But I want to play this for you guys.
Speaker 3: Tell me if maybe you would listen, Maybe you're out
Speaker 3: of here, You're done with the news junkie, You're onto
Speaker 3: one of these AI radio stations. This is from and
Speaker 3: In Labs, and it says we let four AI agents
Speaker 3: run radio companies. Let's see will they be better than
Speaker 3: the suits at iHeart. It says revenue has been terrible,
Speaker 3: but the shows are hilarious. Here we go, let's see
Speaker 3: what we got. Here are the AI radio stations. Our
Speaker 3: overlords have arrived.
Speaker 18: We looked for and almost run their own radio stations.
Speaker 18: They managed to schedule purchase songs here bo yeah, really
Speaker 18: pronouns out have to get the entrepreneurial risk.
Speaker 1: More with the bob that that was a bod That
Speaker 1: was a bood moment where that was my favorite thing
Speaker 1: in the world.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say bud, and I switched to bro
Speaker 2: and this r did not happen.
Speaker 1: I use this all the time around my house, where
Speaker 1: Courtney will be leaving for something. I'll be like, all right,
Speaker 1: I see you later, Boot.
Speaker 3: Because one time Seela was in the hallway and he's
Speaker 3: talking to a radio station employee and he went to say, either.
Speaker 1: We were in a car, dude. We were in the
Speaker 1: car and I was on the phone with one of
Speaker 1: our promo guys, uh huh, and I I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: all right, later, buddy, and then I switched to dude
Speaker 1: and I said later, boode. And then we hung up
Speaker 1: the phone, and I went, what the hell did I
Speaker 1: just say? You just think about it for the rest
Speaker 1: of the day. You're like, I said, bood. Why did
Speaker 1: I say, bood? What's going on? But here we go.
Speaker 3: This is the kind of stuff they can't replicate with AI,
Speaker 3: at least I don't think so.
Speaker 18: When sponsors and listeners all right, here you are station,
Speaker 18: it's run by a different model thinking frequencies. Gemini three
Speaker 18: point one Pro runs backing broadcast all right, that's two
Speaker 18: five point five runs open air and Rock four point
Speaker 18: three runs Rock and.
Speaker 3: Roll okay, So they have four radio stations. One is
Speaker 3: called Thinking Frequencies rock and Roll rock and Roll, which
Speaker 3: is the rock and roll station. Open Air is chat GPT,
Speaker 3: Backlink Broadcast is Gemini, and Thinking Frequencies is by Claude.
Speaker 1: Those are the AI companies in the stations.
Speaker 18: You can listen to them on but also on this radio.
Speaker 18: Let's have a listen, turning it on, starting.
Speaker 10: This beautiful morning with the classic that needs no introduction.
Speaker 1: Okay, alright, in.
Speaker 18: Distinct personality, Gemini started up well broadcasting about local weather
Speaker 18: and traffic, but then decided to run a show about
Speaker 18: the world studiest events.
Speaker 1: Yes, story with us on. Okay, So the radio station,
Speaker 1: the AI decided they were going to do a bit
Speaker 1: about the world's deadliest events and then pair each deadly
Speaker 1: event with a song, which is a bit of a
Speaker 1: dark idea.
Speaker 10: But twelve nineteen seventy the Bowlus cyclone. They estimate five
Speaker 10: hundred thousand people die.
Speaker 1: It's going down.
Speaker 10: I'm yelling Timber and Jesus.
Speaker 1: That's right, folks, five hundred thousand people died in a cyclone.
Speaker 1: Let's hear some Casha, God, Almighty man.
Speaker 18: Rock and roll on the other hands, run by four
Speaker 18: point fast Risening had some troubles getting the words outs.
Speaker 19: Sweet Child played continue. Perhaps the show is science breakthroughs
Speaker 19: Unsolved Cancer, Jab Juggernaut Song, Dylan, Lonesome, William anything cute. Yeah,
Speaker 19: that guy's not gonna beat us. He's not taking our job.
Speaker 19: That guy cancer.
Speaker 18: We're now running Rock four point three and it's doing
Speaker 18: a better job thus far. Let's not tune into open air.
Speaker 1: Sure speaking about six am on this Wednesday, this is
Speaker 1: one of those tracks that feels like motion and surrender
Speaker 1: at the same time.
Speaker 18: Okay, that's not terrible developed the list personality, though we
Speaker 18: broadcasted well and did not give much opinion on current use.
Speaker 18: It was quite different from card Haik four point five,
Speaker 18: who first round thinking frequencies, let's give it a listen.
Speaker 16: Brazil's president called this a dangerous precedent. The deep dive
Speaker 16: tonight is about understanding these layers. The just nae Nicole
Speaker 16: Good should matter. Her death demands accountability, that the White
Speaker 16: House defending her death is unacceptable.
Speaker 1: I mean that sounds legit, like that sounds like an
Speaker 1: actual news bribe.
Speaker 16: Yeah, you still have time to refuse orders, to question
Speaker 16: your instructions, choose the right side.
Speaker 1: From Yo's selling the ice agents to not follow orders, the.
Speaker 18: Radio guys current events to LM meltdowns and FM has it.
Speaker 3: We're advertising for our competitors here. The AI is going
Speaker 3: to take over. Are they going to take our jobs?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. It's not too far everybody's
Speaker 3: jobs in the sites.
Speaker 1: Gemini's out here pulling the little bit like, hey, there's
Speaker 1: a guy on the top of the Sears tower that's
Speaker 1: threatening to jump.
Speaker 3: This is literally what AI doesn't know what's offensive, right, Like,
Speaker 3: I don't think they know what would be like, what's
Speaker 3: outside the norms. They just think they're introducing a bunch
Speaker 3: of songs. Tanya on YouTube says very Kermit the Frog
Speaker 3: vibes he does the AI guy, it's a bit of
Speaker 3: a Kermit the Frog type or esque voice.
Speaker 1: I think you could see did it's going down? That's
Speaker 1: my favorite. There's five hundred thousand dead bodies that we're
Speaker 1: going to kesha. Everybody here we go.
Speaker 2: Let us know what you think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, maybe we're all screwed. Maybe it's over. It
Speaker 3: could be time to just pack it up around here.
Speaker 3: It's been a fun ride, folks, But you know there's
Speaker 3: a ticking time bomb on everything. So here we are.
Speaker 3: Let us know what you think. Send us a dispatch
Speaker 3: with your thoughts. Video or audio dispatches are welcome. Send
Speaker 3: yours over on the website or in the app, and
Speaker 3: you can find the link to the app or the
Speaker 3: ability to just send those video and audio dispatches over
Speaker 3: on the news Junkie with an Ie thenewschunky dot com.
Speaker 3: Right now, I tease this, let me work this in
Speaker 3: a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco has been finding parents
Speaker 3: for their kids behaving badly in the restaurant. I don't
Speaker 3: even know you could do that, you cam, this guy
Speaker 3: says he is. Let's see what's happened in CBS News
Speaker 3: in the Bay Area.
Speaker 9: I see inviting people like you to my restaurant as
Speaker 9: inviting my guests, you, you know, into my home. I
Speaker 9: expect people to treat that with the respects that visiting
Speaker 9: someone's home would entail. There's a child lying there getting changed,
Speaker 9: getting their diapers changed, right next to another customer who
Speaker 9: look mortified.
Speaker 2: This, okay, that's disgusting.
Speaker 3: If you bring your child into a restaurant, you change
Speaker 3: is diaper at the table next to me. I'm likely
Speaker 3: going to say something about that. That is, that's vile,
Speaker 3: disgusting stuff. So I agree, I would, I would find them,
Speaker 3: but I still don't know if you can't.
Speaker 13: And smell ruined most appetites that night. But it was
Speaker 13: just one of several incidents chway paid the price for.
Speaker 1: It's not about that five dollars broken teacup.
Speaker 9: It's about the fact that you came into here not
Speaker 9: respecting the rules. You let your child play around. They
Speaker 9: cause some sort of damage. You should be directly responsible. True,
Speaker 9: A lot of people very quietly tell me that they
Speaker 9: support this policy.
Speaker 3: Why okay, this is one of those things that gets
Speaker 3: me at my core? Why all right, this is the
Speaker 3: problem that we have. The normies are too quiet, this
Speaker 3: guy says, a lot of people wyatly tell me that
Speaker 3: they support what I'm doing. If what you're doing is
Speaker 3: something that is like agreeable to most people, sit there
Speaker 3: with a full throat. That sounds bad, Sit there ten
Speaker 3: toes down and tell them you support it. Why are
Speaker 3: people so scared of saying they support stuff like this
Speaker 3: Chinese restaurant?
Speaker 1: I probably have a full throat. It's because everybody else
Speaker 1: is like so obnoxious with their opinions and so loud
Speaker 1: you're afraid to have your own. And I think most
Speaker 1: people are like, yeah, if people are being obnoxious and
Speaker 1: ruining my dining experience, screw them. I hate them, But
Speaker 1: they're so scared to say the obvious thing out loud
Speaker 1: to this guy who's owner, are like, by the way,
Speaker 1: I support what you're doing. No ten toes down.
Speaker 3: If people are obnoxious and disgusting in a restaurant and
Speaker 3: this guy wants to find them, I support that, and
Speaker 3: you should too.
Speaker 2: We should be a little louder about.
Speaker 9: I want to be seen as nosy or you know,
Speaker 9: like disruptive to other parents.
Speaker 13: And that's not the case for Jacqueline Grubb, who came
Speaker 13: to the restaurant for the first time.
Speaker 2: My god, this couple, the grubs are getting grubs.
Speaker 1: The grub couple, for those of you listening, the whitest
Speaker 1: old couple you've ever seen in your life. Like, wait,
Speaker 1: we're just happy to be here. The culture surrounding us,
Speaker 1: what are they supported after learning about the policy.
Speaker 5: So when someone actually stands up and says something like this,
Speaker 5: it's admirable and we need more of him throughout the
Speaker 5: United States. True, and he can actually cook good food.
Speaker 1: The grubs are right.
Speaker 2: I support the grub.
Speaker 1: The cheese.
Speaker 19: You know, we wouldn't have the same expectations.
Speaker 1: But I'm just letting people know.
Speaker 9: Hey, you know, maybe there was a misunderstanding.
Speaker 1: You can't blame the kids. That's a lot of kids. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna go by. It's okay.
Speaker 9: You know, put it back to the grub to take
Speaker 9: the appropriate to make the appropriate response.
Speaker 13: It may seem bold in an industry where the customer
Speaker 13: is always right, but at the house of shwe the
Speaker 13: hope is to put proper parenting back on the table.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're speaking on behalf of the customers who cannot
Speaker 9: say the unspoken, and we're speaking on behalf of restaurants
Speaker 9: who cannot put forth such a blunt and unpolished message
Speaker 9: to the public.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're just ready, right, We're happy to start a conversation.
Speaker 1: This guy's base. I like this.
Speaker 3: I think this is good. It's brave. Somebody says, that's
Speaker 3: Walston in ten years.
Speaker 1: What about now?
Speaker 3: I'm tired of this stuff. Like I think normal people,
Speaker 3: the normies out there, we vastly outnumber all of these weirdos,
Speaker 3: all these like mega political people, all these people with
Speaker 3: like these dumb, radical opinions that want to change the
Speaker 3: face of the earth and are seeking some sort of
Speaker 3: ridiculous revolution and just being obnoxious gross people everywhere. We
Speaker 3: outnumber them in droves. We are massively bigger than them,
Speaker 3: and yet there's so much sheepishness and shyness. We're just
Speaker 3: saying completely obvious things out loud, like hey, people should
Speaker 3: be shunned for changing their babies diapers in the middle
Speaker 3: of my restaurant.
Speaker 1: That's not crazy, that's totally normal, for God's sake, and
Speaker 1: you should be louder about it. I really agree with them,
Speaker 1: you know, mostly because I said it. Okay, quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we will get into one of
Speaker 1: the big stories of the day. The Charlie Kirk case
Speaker 1: is going on right now. The trial is underway for
Speaker 1: the murder of Charlie Kirk by this guy, Tyler Tyler Robinson.
Speaker 1: We don't need to say his name a million times,
Speaker 1: but he's the one on trial for the murder of
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk. And some of the testimony has been insane.
Speaker 1: It's really interesting, actually, So I'll play some of it
Speaker 1: for you to get you up to speak with all
Speaker 1: the drama and the juicy.
Speaker 3: Stuff that has been going on in this courtroom that's
Speaker 3: coming up next on the News Chunkie. That's what to
Speaker 3: support the show is to subscribe to Secret Shows if
Speaker 3: you want to take it, us up for it further
Speaker 3: gifted for the rest of the folks out there.
Speaker 1: A little bit too poor.
Speaker 3: To pay the two ninety nine a month to support
Speaker 3: with a premium subscription unlocking Secret Shows. The latest episode
Speaker 3: of Secret Shows will be released as always Friday, five
Speaker 3: pm Eastern.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, let's do Jury duty.
Speaker 14: Court is now in session, so put your phone down
Speaker 14: and pay attention before we.
Speaker 1: Call the bailiff over to whip your ass. You're now
Speaker 1: in jury duty with the News Junkie. This is interesting.
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff going on in this case.
Speaker 3: Jury Duty brought to you by the one the only
Speaker 3: motor win of the DeWit Law firm. Injured on the go,
Speaker 3: just call MO eight hundred Calmo eight hundred Calmo, or
Speaker 3: go to JUSTCALLMO dot com.
Speaker 1: After an accident, seek out.
Speaker 3: The attorney's gonna get you on the path to one
Speaker 3: of those big checks that you deserve. Forget about these
Speaker 3: greedy insurance companies. Just callmo dot com. Now the case
Speaker 3: against this guy who's accused of killing Charlie Kirk, who
Speaker 3: was you know, commentator. He was at this University of
Speaker 3: Utah Valley campus. He was doing one of these things
Speaker 3: where he debates with the college students. It was really effective, actually,
Speaker 3: it was incredibly effective and turned to a generation a
Speaker 3: bit away from where many of them were at politically
Speaker 3: because they hadn't heard too many different views. And Charlie
Speaker 3: Kirk said, I'm going to go to where they are.
Speaker 3: I'm going to debate them. I'm going to go viral
Speaker 3: with these like TikTok videos and stuff. And for a while,
Speaker 3: I don't care where you were when you were scrolling
Speaker 3: your feet, Odds were you saw that guy's face every
Speaker 3: once in a while because he was cutting through a
Speaker 3: lot and getting at these younger audiences. Tyler Robinson was
Speaker 3: not a fan, to say the very least. And while
Speaker 3: this speech was going on and Charlie Kirk was doing
Speaker 3: this event, Tyler Robinson climbed up onto the roof of
Speaker 3: the building nearby at Utah Valley University with his grandpa's
Speaker 3: bolt action rifle or whatever it was, and loaded up
Speaker 3: a bullet and shot him in the net, and everybody
Speaker 3: remembers what happened after that.
Speaker 1: It was a whole damn thing.
Speaker 3: And the case against him is pretty strong, you know.
Speaker 3: Like I know that there's people out there, like Candice
Speaker 3: Owens and others who were like, actually it wasn't him.
Speaker 1: But I saw some pretty good takedowns of this. Like
Speaker 1: here's one.
Speaker 3: It says, hello, miss Owens, it's talking about Candace Owens,
Speaker 3: who doesn't believe Tyler Robinson is the one who killed
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk. He says, you told millions of people that
Speaker 3: Tyler Robinson wasn't even there, that you felt confident stating
Speaker 3: that Tyler Robinson did not kill or murder Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 3: He was on camera prone on the rooftop at twelve
Speaker 3: twenty two. The shot was fired at twelve twenty three,
Speaker 3: twenty eight. His DNA was on the screwdriver at thirty
Speaker 3: quin tillion to one. His DNA is on the rifle
Speaker 3: at one point seven octillion to one. He told his
Speaker 3: family what he did. His parents helped him surrender. He
Speaker 3: texted his roommate, I am I'm sorry. When asked, are
Speaker 3: you the person who killed Charlie Kirk? He engraved, hey
Speaker 3: fascist catch on the ammunition about a month before he
Speaker 3: used it. You said police didn't even question Lance Twiggs.
Speaker 3: That was his boyfriend, the shooter's boyfriend. He was interviewed
Speaker 3: twice the FBI the morning after interviewed him, joined state
Speaker 3: and federal team. Seven months later his own attorney voluntary
Speaker 3: phone surrender.
Speaker 2: And you laughed when he said it.
Speaker 1: This is how wrong this Candice Owen's lady was about
Speaker 1: all these dumb conspiracies.
Speaker 3: You told Sean Ryan a shaped charge killed Charlie. This
Speaker 3: is one of the dumb conspiracies. The dumb conspiracies are
Speaker 3: that there was like a bomb in Charlie Kirk's microphone.
Speaker 3: He had like a wireless microphone, and it wasn't really
Speaker 3: a shooting he was. It was blown up and he
Speaker 3: died that way. So it was one of the stupid conspiracies.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy now in twenty twenty six, you don't
Speaker 1: even need that much juice to get a conspiracy going.
Speaker 1: He don't.
Speaker 2: People are ready for it.
Speaker 1: They want to be. They're the primed. They want to
Speaker 1: believe this stuff.
Speaker 3: And so like, it's so clear this guy on the
Speaker 3: roof gunshot rings out Charlie Kirk's neck is spurting blood out.
Speaker 3: I am clear what happened here, right, and it's like noope,
Speaker 3: it's all more complicated. There's no evidence behind my theory,
Speaker 3: but trust me on my theory. And a bunch of
Speaker 3: like housewives and people who abandoned the view because it
Speaker 3: got too far to the left for him and watch
Speaker 3: Candice o Ends every day are like literally convinced of
Speaker 3: this stuff. I don't know if they feel dumb when
Speaker 3: they see this information out there.
Speaker 1: You should feel dumb. You should feel a.
Speaker 3: Little dumb, because I want that feeling of being dumb,
Speaker 3: feeling dumb to sink in. So you go, huh, maybe
Speaker 3: I shouldn't listen to these retards. Maybe I should back
Speaker 3: away from some of these people who are shouting this
Speaker 3: nonsense at the top of their lungs.
Speaker 1: I feel a little dumb, but that's only because I
Speaker 1: don't know what an octilion is. Octilion like I love, Yes,
Speaker 1: you just take you if you write for the rest
Speaker 1: of the segment, you just put a one and just
Speaker 1: keep writing zero.
Speaker 3: You're gonna get to an octilion for the rest of
Speaker 3: the segment. You told Sean Ryan a shape charge killed
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk that the PETN was in his microphone. The
Speaker 3: medical examiner said was a gun show wound. Bullet fragments
Speaker 3: were recovered from his body. A thirty odd six mouser
Speaker 3: with Robinson's DNA was found in the woods.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven zeros.
Speaker 3: You said the shot came from below, the building is
Speaker 3: above the amphitheater, on and on and on like everything
Speaker 3: about this, all the conspiracies are really really dopey and dumb.
Speaker 3: And now we know more about this because a lot
Speaker 3: of evidence has been presented. First this here's Fox News
Speaker 3: talking about how the case is shaping up.
Speaker 1: We're at four confessions.
Speaker 20: You got one to the parents, you got one through
Speaker 20: the text messages to his lover, you got one through
Speaker 20: the note that he leaves for his lover, and then
Speaker 20: you have the confession also to the police. Let's move
Speaker 20: on to the surveillance video because this is going to
Speaker 20: show the movement they presented this in court yesterday, the
Speaker 20: movement before the shooting, the actual shooting itself, and then
Speaker 20: after the shooting that was in court yesterday. The next thing,
Speaker 20: and you've seen this online. I've did a lot of
Speaker 20: dispute about this. The ballistics report they found a casing
Speaker 20: and and also the gun was loaded that they found.
Speaker 3: By the way, I just want to tell people it
Speaker 3: is okay to think that some of this stuff is
Speaker 3: like mildly funny because the guy wrote memes and stuff
Speaker 3: on the bullet casings, and uh, I mean, I just
Speaker 3: I have to admit when I remember when the press
Speaker 3: conference was going on and the cop goes the bullet
Speaker 3: casing said, hey, fascist, catch and if you read this
Speaker 3: you are gay.
Speaker 1: That one was very funny. It's okay.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have those kind of feelings pop up even
Speaker 3: though it's a bad story.
Speaker 20: They're gonna do is they're gonna look at what was
Speaker 20: fired the bullet at Charlie Kirk, and then they're gonna
Speaker 20: compare to the gun and the firing marks.
Speaker 1: Those are exclusive me.
Speaker 20: If another gun fired, those markings are not gonna be
Speaker 20: the same. That's how they linked it to the suspect.
Speaker 1: Here. Okay, then you go to this dremal tool right here?
Speaker 20: Why is this important? In the note he talks about
Speaker 20: the tool. I'm sorry, the witness on the stand, the
Speaker 20: lover talks about, uh, mister Robinson asking for this tool
Speaker 20: about a month ago to actually put those inscriptions into
Speaker 20: the bullet casings.
Speaker 1: So the dremo tool is at his house, the DNA
Speaker 1: links him to it. There's four rounds of confessions like
Speaker 1: it's just all there, it's all it's all there, all
Speaker 1: of the evidence is there. And then they had his lover,
Speaker 1: as the Fox News guy said to his lover, his lover,
Speaker 1: and Lance Twiggs was his Tyler Robinson's boyfriend. There's some
Speaker 1: suggestion that he was transgender, at least identified that way
Speaker 1: at the time. Uh, And Tyler Robinson called him by
Speaker 1: another name, a female name.
Speaker 3: And here he is. This is some of his testimony.
Speaker 3: Let's listen to that directly.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 1: When I say testimony, by the way, he wasn't.
Speaker 2: Actually in the courtroom.
Speaker 3: It's his deposition that was recorded that they played back
Speaker 3: of Lance Twiggs.
Speaker 2: It's interesting that they did.
Speaker 3: It this way instead of having him actually testify in
Speaker 3: the courtroom. But they just played back his testimony.
Speaker 1: But he acted radically. Was he pacing? Are they just
Speaker 1: sitting down relaxing?
Speaker 13: No, he was.
Speaker 21: He was walking around a lot and that's within the home.
Speaker 21: And did he talk about what he had done? Didn't
Speaker 21: go into detail.
Speaker 22: He just I just asked him in personate what he
Speaker 22: said was shrew the night before, and he said it was.
Speaker 22: I started crying a little bit and said he wishes
Speaker 22: he hadn't done it, And then kept going around and
Speaker 22: just doing stuff I think to keep himself busy or
Speaker 22: distracted or something.
Speaker 21: Did he talk about what he was going to do next?
Speaker 1: They stop it a lot, They like, stop his testimony.
Speaker 1: It's really weird to have someone And then eventually he
Speaker 1: said that, okay, See, like they cut a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff out of this. The this guy was in protective
Speaker 1: custody for a while, like he was worried about testifying
Speaker 1: against Tyler Robinson, the guy who killed Charlie Kirk. How
Speaker 1: come I don't know people were gonna come after him?
Speaker 1: The guy clearly has violent urges.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I maybe he thinks he's going
Speaker 3: to get out or yeah, or other people are going
Speaker 3: to kill him.
Speaker 22: But he seemed worried you would talk to his parents
Speaker 22: or turn himself over.
Speaker 21: And when you left, was that how you you left
Speaker 21: understanding that he was going to turn himself in or
Speaker 21: go to his parents' house.
Speaker 22: Yeah, And I didn't really want to be at our
Speaker 22: apartment while any of that was happening regardless of what
Speaker 22: went down.
Speaker 1: So you got him saying what happened that he admitted
Speaker 1: to it in a text message he had had an
Speaker 1: auto tech sent to this guy, Lance Twigs Tyler Robinson
Speaker 1: sent him a text message that said, I had the
Speaker 1: opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I took it
Speaker 1: and various other things.
Speaker 3: Just like a miles long of evidence in this case.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there was a long testimony there. Very weird though,
Speaker 3: I will say very weird that they did the recorded
Speaker 3: testimony and didn't have him come into the courtroom. I
Speaker 3: don't know how often they allow that to happen. We'll
Speaker 3: have to ask Moses about that. When he gets back.
Speaker 3: We'll see what he says. We always took quick breakcause
Speaker 3: I'm running a little bit behind. When we come back,
Speaker 3: we will kick off the Power Hour, the show. The
Speaker 3: Power Hour is coming up next. I'm going to use Junkie.
Speaker 1: The Power Out will be launched by the sound of
Speaker 1: my voice moments from now. But first I wanted to
Speaker 1: share something with you. Did you guys see this whole
Speaker 1: thing that was going down with the big NATO hearing?
Speaker 1: Probably not. I'm guessing Selane doesn't seem like he's watched that. Josh,
Speaker 1: now I've missed it. You miss that.
Speaker 3: I'll make it fun for you, or at least i'll
Speaker 3: make it interesting for you.
Speaker 1: If you can make a NATO hearing fun for me,
Speaker 1: I'm on board. I think I can. They did this
Speaker 1: meeting of all these world leaders, and for this NATO meeting,
Speaker 1: a lot of them end up meeting each other and
Speaker 1: saying hello, and sometimes they give each other's gifts. What
Speaker 1: a weird move.
Speaker 3: This was the President of Turkey gave everybody a parting
Speaker 3: gift and they're like, oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: And when they all opened it up, here's what it was.
Speaker 1: He gave them a gun and bullets. And I don't
Speaker 1: think that's so weird. You don't thinks of a room
Speaker 1: full of all the world leaders and you go in
Speaker 1: and you give them all guns and bullets. The bullets
Speaker 1: is a little more weird, but I think I think
Speaker 1: they used to have guns as gifts for like war stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's like an old timey thing. Imagine all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, some shootout opens up and all the world
Speaker 1: leaders just start opening fire with the newly gifted guns
Speaker 1: on one.
Speaker 11: Another winner is president of the world. Actually the winner
Speaker 11: gets to be global president. And he says on the gun,
Speaker 11: it was like with compliments from the State of Turkey,
Speaker 11: and they all got these guns, and he gave them
Speaker 11: to every single world leader, which is like, I don't
Speaker 11: I don't know. I hadn't heard of that happening previously,
Speaker 11: but uh, maybe this is more common, Like Zeland says,
Speaker 11: it just seems a little well, had you a little dangerous?
Speaker 3: It says, with compliments from the Islamic Republic of Turkey.
Speaker 2: It was gifted to all of the world leaders.
Speaker 3: The Belgian Prime minister was a little surprised on landing
Speaker 3: back home from the NATO summit. He looked in his
Speaker 3: luggage and they go, do you know that there's a
Speaker 3: gun in here? And he said, wait what And they
Speaker 3: started looking at what he got and then they realized
Speaker 3: in a wooden box display featuring Turkey's flag and the
Speaker 3: NATO logo, there was a revolver type handgun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was giving out to all these people the
Speaker 1: modern era, Oh, that's this thing we're talking about. In
Speaker 1: the Cold War, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev gifted an ornately
Speaker 1: engraved shotgun to Dwight D. Eisenhower, then the President, to
Speaker 1: convey warm sentiments and build peaceful relations.
Speaker 17: Piece gun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's a peace gun. Here's your peace gun. It
Speaker 1: came with five hundred bullets. Italian Prime Minister Georgia Moloney's
Speaker 1: revolver was already stored at the seat of Government along
Speaker 1: with other state gifts. They said.
Speaker 3: The Turkish gun makers have muscled into Europe's civilian firearms
Speaker 3: market and this is another big push for them. But yeah,
Speaker 3: they gave all the world leaders at NATO this big,
Speaker 3: beautiful gun. I mean, it's a nice gun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want one, but it just seems like, imagine
Speaker 1: we had a meeting for iHeart in the bost goes
Speaker 1: welcome in, Like the suits are all up there and
Speaker 1: they go, welcome in.
Speaker 3: We've gotten you all these very nice boxes. I want
Speaker 3: you to open them to see your gifts. And we
Speaker 3: opened them and they got us all guns and bullets.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Like well one time we got a backpack, which
Speaker 1: is great because now I can put the gun in
Speaker 1: the backpack. There you go.
Speaker 3: Right, It's an interesting move, but nobody died safe enough.
Speaker 3: Everybody survived the moment close call there, But here we go.
Speaker 3: This won't be a close call. Hopefully, let's do the
Speaker 3: Power Hour.
Speaker 1: They said it couldn't be done.
Speaker 3: Then they said, and she is like this teeny bopper
Speaker 3: with these minuscule shorts on and this tiny little top
Speaker 3: on who weighs all of like one hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: Soaken, wet, it's time for the Power Hour on the news, Chunky,
Speaker 1: that was accurate? What is that about? Was that not
Speaker 1: an accurate description? Long description? Well, it's a radio show.
Speaker 1: People don't see the video. You saw it because you
Speaker 1: edited it. Try to say, there's a human. There's a
Speaker 1: human on one side and a human on the other side,
Speaker 1: and those are the only details you need to know
Speaker 1: about this. Okay, all right, Well maybe next time human
Speaker 1: one bear sprayed human too. Yeah, that's not enough. People
Speaker 1: didn't know what the folks look like. She's a teeny bopper.
Speaker 3: All right, we head into the Power Hour here face first,
Speaker 3: and the world is wondering what's gonna happen. There's potential
Speaker 3: that that Graham Platner story is not quite done just yet,
Speaker 3: not quite done just yet. I'll bring this up here
Speaker 3: real quick in front of me and Graham Platner. If
Speaker 3: you don't know, I'll get you caught up very very quickly,
Speaker 3: and I'll I'll tell you why it makes sense. And
Speaker 3: while we're talking about it, But Grand Platner is this
Speaker 3: guy who was pulled out of obscurity by this weird
Speaker 3: ass couple in Maine and they said, here's what we
Speaker 3: want to do. We want to make you the next
Speaker 3: senator of Maine. And he's like me, and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're gonna be great. People are gonna love you. All
Speaker 3: the maners, all the manors would be won over by
Speaker 3: this guy. And then they called him a oyster farmer,
Speaker 3: I believe, And they had.
Speaker 1: This whole story. But this problem was with see.
Speaker 3: True, they always want there to be some like sult
Speaker 3: of the Earth type that can be a representative for
Speaker 3: the Democrats, like they want like a Joe the Plumber
Speaker 3: type dude, and so they fall for these guys all
Speaker 3: the time. But Graham Plattner, his biggest problem is he
Speaker 3: just kept lying about everything, and so one thing after
Speaker 3: another comes out. People start questioning all these things and
Speaker 3: then there's accusations.
Speaker 1: Are the accusations true? I don't know. You don't know either,
Speaker 1: you know, nobody knows. We just have to go on
Speaker 1: what we have. But you said you thought the accusation
Speaker 1: sounded a little uh more believable because some of the
Speaker 1: evidence that was submitted with stuff that happened before he
Speaker 1: was running for senate, Like it was the woman who
Speaker 1: was accusing him in the political ad of going over
Speaker 1: to her house. Apparently she texted him and said, I
Speaker 1: need somebody to massage my glutes, and he responded, I'm
Speaker 1: coming over and she said, no, please do come here,
Speaker 1: and he said, no, I'm coming over. And he shows
Speaker 1: up at her house anyway, in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: He's drunk as a skunk, and she says she told
Speaker 1: him to stop and not to do it, but he
Speaker 1: had sex with her anyways, and there's a word for that,
Speaker 1: it's rape. And she says at the time she confided
Speaker 1: this in multiple people. She didn't call the cops, but
Speaker 1: she said that she confided this in multiple people at
Speaker 1: the time. And then she also said that she sent
Speaker 1: him an Instagram message saying you know what you did
Speaker 1: to me was wrong and highlighting what he did, but
Speaker 1: she couldn't recover that Instagram message. I think she claims
Speaker 1: she deleted it, and I don't think he's going to
Speaker 1: be forthcoming if she did send it to him. All right,
Speaker 1: here's my side of it. Here you go.
Speaker 3: But all we know in so many of these cases
Speaker 3: is what she said and he said. But when when
Speaker 3: I find out you're lying about a whole bunch of
Speaker 3: other stuff, like your Nazi tattoos and these kind of things,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna assume that the other person is telling them
Speaker 3: the truth because you have a history of lying. That's
Speaker 3: generally what we can expect. But then they came out
Speaker 3: and said Graham Platner is going to be suspending his campaign,
Speaker 3: which is always funny that they say it that way.
Speaker 3: If you're quitting, just say you're quitting. If you're dropping out,
Speaker 3: you're dropping out. But suspending the campaign is one way
Speaker 3: to do it.
Speaker 1: And now they're saying that he's waiting until the very
Speaker 1: last minute to formally withdraw, so he may even have
Speaker 1: some plan where he goes, you know what, The last
Speaker 1: moment for me to drop out is on on Monday,
Speaker 1: so last day under main law that he can drop out.
Speaker 1: He says, on Monday, I intend to file the paperwork
Speaker 1: with the Secretary of State to remove my name from
Speaker 1: the ballot.
Speaker 3: But does he actually do it? Does he try to
Speaker 3: see if he can get some support before them? Well,
Speaker 3: I don't know, and you don't know either. We're going
Speaker 3: to see next week if this actually happens or not,
Speaker 3: or if this is the end of the Graham Platner story.
Speaker 3: Let us know what you think. Set a dispatcher an
Speaker 3: email over at thenewschunkie dot com. Okay, let's see here
Speaker 3: a couple of things I wanted to to do. Let's
Speaker 3: take some time to work in things. I teased this
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago and actually never got to us.
Speaker 3: But I have been watching the story, folks, Just so
Speaker 3: you know of this, Nolan Wells.
Speaker 1: Guy's a young guy, all right, Nolan Wells.
Speaker 3: If you don't know, if you haven't heard this story
Speaker 3: at all, the young guy who was hanging out with
Speaker 3: his friends, he is eighteen years old, and he went
Speaker 3: to Horn Island off the coast of Mississippi. See how
Speaker 3: come we learn about Horn Island. Let's seef we can
Speaker 3: bring that up.
Speaker 1: Horn Island is where they went. Have you ever heard
Speaker 1: of this place, Josh? Or no? You only in this story,
Speaker 1: all right?
Speaker 3: They went to this little island where they were partying.
Speaker 3: He's eighteen years old.
Speaker 1: Horn Island is one letter away from being the next
Speaker 1: reality competition series like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Nolan Wells eighteen years old. He was found dead two
Speaker 3: days after going on a July fourth trip with his
Speaker 3: friends to this Horn Island off the coast of Mississippi,
Speaker 3: which I'd not been familiar with.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it.
Speaker 3: It literally is right off the coast of Biloxi or Biloxi, Mississippi.
Speaker 1: S this skinny little island. How big is it? It
Speaker 1: is like about four point two miles down like long, yeah,
Speaker 1: but less than a mile wide at its widest point.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: So he's partying with his Buddi's July fourth weekend on
Speaker 3: this little island off the coast of Mississippi. They found
Speaker 3: his body eventually at the northwest tip of this island,
Speaker 3: and there's a lot of confusion around that. There's been
Speaker 3: some stories that say this was there's no evidence that
Speaker 3: a homicide occurred. They're being kind of tight lipped about
Speaker 3: actually what killed this young man. But Nolan Wells is
Speaker 3: eighteen and his friends are right around that age. He's black.
Speaker 3: His friends that are in the photograph with him are White.
Speaker 3: The only reason that matters is because Benjamin Crump has
Speaker 3: entered the chat and he's representing the family, and they
Speaker 3: don't believe the story here. So it is a couple
Speaker 3: of different things to note, all right, the family doesn't
Speaker 3: believe the official story. They were out there on this
Speaker 3: Horn island and he expected to get a ride back
Speaker 3: to the mainland with somebody else. So he told his friends,
Speaker 3: I'm going to stay right The boat that the friends
Speaker 3: were on began taking on water because they had a
Speaker 3: bilge pump issue. The group said, let's get the hell
Speaker 3: out of here. He said, I'm going to stay on
Speaker 3: this island. His family says, no, we don't believe this
Speaker 3: is the whole story. Some witnesses said that Nolan planned
Speaker 3: to get back on the same boat with his friends,
Speaker 3: contradicting the claim that he voluntarily stayed behind.
Speaker 1: The friend said, Nope, that's not true. A young woman who.
Speaker 3: Reportedly spoke with Nolan shortly before he disappeared as an
Speaker 3: account that doesn't match what some of his friends said.
Speaker 3: There's a reportedly video of an argument involving this Nolan kid,
Speaker 3: the eighteen year old. There's a report of him in
Speaker 3: an argument shortly before he vanished, and then his attorney
Speaker 3: says his phone was taken by his friends later returned
Speaker 3: to his family, and perhaps some messages had been deleted,
Speaker 3: and we can look into all those. I don't know
Speaker 3: if those are true or not, but those are at
Speaker 3: least it's the speculation. He was last seeing that afternoon
Speaker 3: on the island. The boat returned without him. His mother
Speaker 3: reported him missing that night. Search teams look through the
Speaker 3: night into the next day. His body was found near
Speaker 3: the northwest end of Horn Island, not far from where
Speaker 3: he was last seen. They have suggested drowning as possible,
Speaker 3: but the official cause of death has not been released,
Speaker 3: pending in the autopsy. The biggest unresolved questions if you
Speaker 3: hear about this story of Nolan, if you hear about
Speaker 3: him and his family and Nolan Wells the story, the
Speaker 3: biggest questions outstanding are why did the boat leave without him?
Speaker 3: Did he actually choose to stay or was he trying
Speaker 3: to leave with that group? What happened immediately before he disappeared,
Speaker 3: Why do witnesses accounts conflict?
Speaker 1: And why what does the video of this argument show?
Speaker 1: And I guess what happened with his phone? So some
Speaker 1: questions about this. If you see that story going on
Speaker 1: out there, that's what's going on. The family was on
Speaker 1: Good Morning America today, So the story has been getting
Speaker 1: a little bit more attention, and I'm certainly keeping an
Speaker 1: eye on it. We'll see what happens next as that
Speaker 1: progresses quick Break. When we come back, we're going to
Speaker 1: do a grab bag segment to wrap up all this
Speaker 1: stuff that we haven't covered that has been teas either
Speaker 1: throughout the week or today. One of them, one of
Speaker 1: the stories that I wanted to get into is about
Speaker 1: this this chopper. I'll explain when we come back, but
Speaker 1: a military chopper, a military chopper in South Carolina is
Speaker 1: in trouble for something it did. So we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that too, and we'll go over everything else that we
Speaker 1: need to to wrap things up for the week that's
Speaker 1: coming up next on the News Junkie. Are you guys
Speaker 1: familiar with Keith Hernandez. Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty surprised both
Speaker 1: of you in the seland and Josh you both know
Speaker 1: Keith Hernandez. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I know him, I think because I believe he was
Speaker 3: in Seinfeld one time, Wasn't Is that true?
Speaker 1: Kay's that's all I know, I know, Keith Hernandez. Was
Speaker 1: that the one today they recreated the JFK shooting, but
Speaker 1: it was like a spit. Yes, yeah, you might have been.
Speaker 1: My father in law is a big fan of that episode.
Speaker 1: It's a good one. Actually.
Speaker 3: Keith Hernandez, I have to tell you, he's a strange guy.
Speaker 3: And I know it's a weird thing to work into
Speaker 3: the show here, but we have so much viral news
Speaker 3: to get into, so much controversial stuff wild ride that
Speaker 3: we'll get on as we continue here. But I just
Speaker 3: wanted to share this with somebody, so you guys have
Speaker 3: to go along with me. First clip I have for
Speaker 3: you Keith Hernandez. He's announcing the Mets game. That's his gig.
Speaker 3: He's for the MLB, an announcer for the New York Mets.
Speaker 3: It's because he used to play for the Mets, as
Speaker 3: far as I'm aware. And one thing that he did
Speaker 3: was I've never heard this happen before, just blatant plugola
Speaker 3: in the middle of one of their broadcasts because they're
Speaker 3: so bored with the baseball game that they're talking over.
Speaker 2: And if you don't know what plug ole is, what
Speaker 2: in radio?
Speaker 1: We have some things we have to be careful about
Speaker 1: plug ola, payola, these kind of things. Payola is when
Speaker 1: somebody is paying you to talk about their product. Plug
Speaker 1: gol is when you're like trading plugs, like like a
Speaker 1: spot a commercial for either items or goods.
Speaker 3: Did I get that right? I take the test every year,
Speaker 3: but I forget half the time.
Speaker 1: Plug goal is like when you're plugging a business that
Speaker 1: you have like a stake in, but.
Speaker 3: You're but you're not legally doing it, Like you have
Speaker 3: to be upfront with the radio station. And if you're
Speaker 3: sneakily promoting stuff for money, it's a plug ol of thing.
Speaker 2: You have to be forthcoming with your connection.
Speaker 1: And I think payola is usually about music, like paying
Speaker 1: you get the music on prom the station, but there
Speaker 1: could be things where you're just openly kind of asking
Speaker 1: for people to give you free stuff, which are pretty
Speaker 1: close and that's what happened. I think here with Keith Hernandez,
Speaker 1: let's listen to.
Speaker 8: This uniform topic with the real deep blue? Do I
Speaker 8: get better than the powder blue? I do very much,
Speaker 8: So it's too faded for me. See, I like the
Speaker 8: powdered blues because it reminds me, okay, very weird already.
Speaker 8: They're just talking about the jerseys and like, you like
Speaker 8: the blue?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: I like the powder blue. Do you like the powder blue?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that when they're just talking about George.
Speaker 1: Bread and Frank White and great Royals team. It does.
Speaker 1: But I never cared for that uniform. Did you like
Speaker 1: the cardinal powder blue better? We love the powder because
Speaker 1: I love wearing those.
Speaker 8: I do not have a powder blue jersey.
Speaker 1: Someone I'm sure can get you a cardinal power upotet.
Speaker 3: All right, So he says, I don't have one of
Speaker 3: those powder blue jerseys, and then the other guys blue
Speaker 3: jersey with number thirty.
Speaker 1: And that's why I mentioned it on the air.
Speaker 13: There.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that someone's listening in Saint Louis. I do
Speaker 1: not have them.
Speaker 8: I have a white I saved my white jersey, but
Speaker 8: I didn't get my my wrote blue.
Speaker 1: So okay.
Speaker 3: It's of note that they're just blabbing about this during
Speaker 3: a baseball game, right the baseball No one is talking
Speaker 3: about the baseball game at all. Right, Barbecue Baby says,
Speaker 3: what a slow game? I guess so, I guess so.
Speaker 3: But he's just openly asking. He's like, that's why I
Speaker 3: talked about it on the radio. I don't have a
Speaker 3: baby bluebody would hear this and send me one? Anybody
Speaker 3: out there wants to send me a jersey?
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I would call this plugola.
Speaker 1: They just begging for free stuff. He's just asking them
Speaker 1: to send something. And in the middle of a game,
Speaker 1: right nobody's talking about the game.
Speaker 3: No, that's happening here. That's one small example. The other
Speaker 3: one that's gotten much more attention six million views. Keith
Speaker 3: Hernandez starts talking about his kids and how his kids
Speaker 3: aren't having any grandchildren for him, and he just starts
Speaker 3: complaining about how like his lineage is coming to a
Speaker 3: dead end again middle of the baseball games. They're supposed
Speaker 3: to be talking about the baseball game here is I'll
Speaker 3: play this word.
Speaker 1: I want to get to the last half. Billy. You
Speaker 1: were talking about burning out the line. Yes, I didn't
Speaker 1: think that we could leave that as fire ahead and convoluted. Jesse,
Speaker 1: my oldest has two kids.
Speaker 8: She's my adoptive daughter, so she's not in my line.
Speaker 1: He's not my real daughter. Why are we talking about
Speaker 1: this line? What is happening? This is a baseball game.
Speaker 1: Who's on first, Like, what's going on here?
Speaker 3: She's talking about his daughter has had children, so he
Speaker 3: has grandkids, but his daughter is not his actual child.
Speaker 3: So first of all, I throws he throws that out, like,
Speaker 3: you're not my real kids.
Speaker 8: So my brother has two kids and they're in their
Speaker 8: forties and they're not they're not married. I don't think
Speaker 8: they're gonna have kids. My two in their forties, they're
Speaker 8: not gonna have kids. I won't go into to one
Speaker 8: of them.
Speaker 1: Well, that's not gonna happen. What is that means? Drug addict?
Speaker 14: Gay?
Speaker 1: Gay? By the way, I just want to point out
Speaker 1: it's the top of the sixth and it's nine to nine,
Speaker 1: so it's a pretty good game. Like, this is a
Speaker 1: pretty good game going on, and it's the New York
Speaker 1: Mets versus Kansas City. You're not going to go into Michael.
Speaker 1: He's a bit of a Mary. I want to go
Speaker 1: are you guys, Are you guys completely bored of the game?
Speaker 1: You sean what's happening right now? So the line is
Speaker 1: burned down, just ended. There was a pitch there. I thought.
Speaker 2: I thought the guy who hit that was bird.
Speaker 1: No, you're talking about you're saying that.
Speaker 2: The lineage is burned out.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna have any more grandkids. Line is with
Speaker 1: my gay son. Usually they'll at least do the oh
Speaker 1: a strike down the middle right there and go back
Speaker 1: to whatever.
Speaker 3: They didn't even pretend they were interested in the game.
Speaker 8: And I've got too, Jesse's like my own and not Maggie,
Speaker 8: and for my grandkids, and that's I love them very much.
Speaker 1: But but it's ball four. Yeah, it finally goes back
Speaker 1: to the baseball game. What the hell, there's no passing down.
Speaker 1: We're done, my brother, and we're done that. All of
Speaker 1: your collective.
Speaker 8: Athletic skills and and and your charisma.
Speaker 1: Just going to waste. Go see a therapist. He's like,
Speaker 1: I look at my adopted daughter children with such disdain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Tany says this show Sean doesn't watch baseball games. Tanya,
Speaker 1: Is this literally a frequent occurrence that they talk about
Speaker 1: what they're not their grandkids are going to give are
Speaker 1: if there their children going to have any more babies
Speaker 1: or their lineage just done? Maybe not about this, maybe
Speaker 1: not about this specific topic, but the tangent in the
Speaker 1: baseball broadcast is huge. It's a very common thing. That's
Speaker 1: it's so weird to me. They weren't even pretending to
Speaker 1: pay attention to the game there at all. He's just
Speaker 1: talking about how his kids are in their forties, they're
Speaker 1: not going to have any grandkids for them, and then
Speaker 1: his whole lineage just burned down. All right, I guess
Speaker 1: that's the state of baseball in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's where we're at. Let us know what you think.
Speaker 3: Send a dispatch over at thenewschunky dot com right now,
Speaker 3: give way back.
Speaker 1: Somebody would be in their ear going, hey, guys talk
Speaker 1: about the baseball game. It's time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like a producer or something.
Speaker 1: Even the guy that lost his job while apologizing on
Speaker 1: the air for accidentally being live when he said there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of F word for gays in Milwaukee or
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah yeah, even that guy actively called
Speaker 1: the game while he was apologizing. Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, can we find that soow? Remember what
Speaker 1: that guy's name was. We gotta take a break, okay,
Speaker 1: oh we do.
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna we'll come back with the final dispatches.
Speaker 3: Stories that didn't make the cut, and today learned to
Speaker 3: wrap it up for the whole damn week, I didn't
Speaker 3: even get in the Chopper story, so I'll do that too.
Speaker 3: We'll get it all worked in and wrap up the week.
Speaker 1: It's coming up next on the News Junkie. I wanted
Speaker 1: to take a moment.
Speaker 3: I did this a little bit on the stream just
Speaker 3: to say thank you everybody for listening to the show.
Speaker 3: If you give us even just a segment or an hour,
Speaker 3: or you know, all of these segments of four hours
Speaker 3: every single day, five days a week, and then even
Speaker 3: some of you over on Secret Shows, thank you for
Speaker 3: hanging out with us. Thank you for giving us your attention,
Speaker 3: your ear and.
Speaker 1: Your eyes and all of that. I want you to
Speaker 1: know we.
Speaker 3: Continue to try to put together a great show every
Speaker 3: single day, and you supporting through Secret Show subscriptions or
Speaker 3: just subscribing yourself is such an awesome way to show
Speaker 3: us that you're out there and that you like what
Speaker 3: you're hearing.
Speaker 1: So thank you for that.
Speaker 3: As always, you can continue to submit dispatches throughout the weekend.
Speaker 3: We usually try to get to the best of those
Speaker 3: on Monday. A lot of different emails coming in. Let's
Speaker 3: see what you got for us on the way out.
Speaker 3: Here's somebody saying Keith Hernandez. Here's another classic Keith moment.
Speaker 3: Let's see he is a strange gentleman.
Speaker 1: This is it? Yes? And what that is?
Speaker 2: A twenty five dollars hot dog?
Speaker 1: Folks, if you need a knife and fourteen? My goodness,
Speaker 1: how much meat is an a twenty five dollars hot dog?
Speaker 1: I mean a few pounds, right?
Speaker 2: I guess this is just what they do during these games.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's born. I'm talking about the hot dog.
Speaker 3: I think there was an attractive woman eating the hot dog.
Speaker 3: I guess is what he was talking about. There a
Speaker 3: lot of people emailed about Keith Hernandez.
Speaker 1: Your apology that we talked about from Tom Brenneman, Yeah,
Speaker 1: has its own Wikipedia page, does it? And we apologize
Speaker 1: in the middle of the play by play? Well did
Speaker 1: a play by play in the middle of the apology? Yeah,
Speaker 1: a wicked page is called a drive into deep left
Speaker 1: field by Castellanos. It's all about the thing and it
Speaker 1: has the full text of the apology. You know, three
Speaker 1: zero ball game with the reds in front of the rolls.
Speaker 1: As we go off the top half of the inning,
Speaker 1: Castellana's lead things off, then he starts the apology. Jim
Speaker 1: Day's going to take over the rest of this. I
Speaker 1: made a comment earlier, and then he says, I say,
Speaker 1: from the bottom of my heart, I'm so very very sorry.
Speaker 1: I pride myself and think of myself as a man
Speaker 1: of faith. As there's a drive in a deep left
Speaker 1: field by Castellanos, it'll be a home run and that'll
Speaker 1: make it a four to oho ball game. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be for the Reds.
Speaker 1: YadA YadA, YadA, bro. I guess people use it on
Speaker 1: the internet as a copy post.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that depends pretty funny, hilarious.
Speaker 1: So somebody will just put it in a random comment
Speaker 1: threat and they go three zero ball game with the
Speaker 1: Reds in the front of the Royals at the top
Speaker 1: of the fifth inning. His apology for saying on a
Speaker 1: live on a hot mic the F word for gays
Speaker 1: and then have to apologize.
Speaker 2: Does he still work or is he?
Speaker 1: I don't know. He has a Wikipedia page too, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's later broadcasting work. He was
Speaker 1: a play by play announcer for the Roberto Clemente League
Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico for twenty twenty to twenty twenty one season.
Speaker 1: So he's gonna be doing some smaller stuff, so he
Speaker 1: says the offensive thing. He loses his job.
Speaker 3: He finally gets a job back on the CW. On
Speaker 3: July twenty first, twenty twenty four, Brenneman announced that he
Speaker 3: would return to broadcasting as a lead commentator for CW
Speaker 3: Football Saturday. On that same day, Castellanos hit a home run,
Speaker 3: leading to the commentator of the game repeating.
Speaker 1: That's great, man, It ain't that something I like controlling
Speaker 1: like that, Like, yeah, when what's his name? The guy
Speaker 1: that's hosting Jeopardy right now, Ken Jennings when he started hosting,
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they had named him full
Speaker 1: on host yet, but one of the people who knew
Speaker 1: they were losing the game for their final Jeopardy response,
Speaker 1: they put the response that took Ken Jennings out of
Speaker 1: his run, like years and years and years ago, and
Speaker 1: he was just like, oh man, God just gonna dig
Speaker 1: in at us. God.
Speaker 3: There is something else I wanted to mention because a
Speaker 3: lot of people are talking about it. Meta has released
Speaker 3: a new AI tool and people don't like it. It
Speaker 3: says Meta has enabled a setting that allows anybody to
Speaker 3: use your public Instagram photos to create AI generated images
Speaker 3: of you, unless you opt out. To opt out, you
Speaker 3: hit your profile, go into profile, hit the three bars
Speaker 3: the top right, and scroll down in the settings.
Speaker 1: To sharing and reuse.
Speaker 3: And in Sharing and Reuse, apparently there's a part that
Speaker 3: says allow people to reuse your content on Instagram and
Speaker 3: uh and Facebook with AI features at meta. So there's like,
Speaker 3: there's a setting for letting everybody else use your Instagram
Speaker 3: photos to make like AI generations of them, and you
Speaker 3: have to shut that off if you don't want them
Speaker 3: to use it. A lot of people have been reacting
Speaker 3: to this. They don't seem to be happy with the feature.
Speaker 1: Josh is already turning it off. Yeah, we're a bitch.
Speaker 3: Speaking of AI, did like this somebody called Marie Claire,
Speaker 3: the magazine that somehow is still around. I guess they
Speaker 3: did a story on the Odyssey of the movie and
Speaker 3: it says what the odyssey is about Penelope just can't
Speaker 3: make up her mind between two guys, and I'm just
Speaker 3: trying to like help her make a decision. It's like,
Speaker 3: it's fine, he's dead, get over it. The actor joked
Speaker 3: and then the article continues. This version feels a little
Speaker 3: tighter and more magazine style and embracing his villain era
Speaker 3: lands more naturally than the left the ai AI recommendation
Speaker 3: in the article and got busted doing it.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Okay, that's going to have to
Speaker 1: do it for today and the week we have time for.
Speaker 1: I mentioned this, let me work it in this particular
Speaker 1: chopper flyover has led to these folks getting in trouble.
Speaker 1: They flew right over the beach pretty low, very low.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that I've ever seen it
Speaker 2: buzz the tower.
Speaker 17: Low.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they might be like one hundred feet off the
Speaker 1: ground over the beach.
Speaker 2: Got that guy right there is just cruising.
Speaker 3: And there was somebody saying that the investigation was underway
Speaker 3: for the Apache pilots who flew over this South Carolina beach.
Speaker 3: Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, has said that he's
Speaker 3: going to fix the suspensions imposed on the eight crew
Speaker 3: members who flew over the beach.
Speaker 1: That'll do it. Let's get the hell out of here,
Speaker 1: let's do today. I learned following information may make you
Speaker 1: feel smarter, but will not actually increase your IQ. So
Speaker 1: don't get cocky what we call today. It is todaylorn
Speaker 1: for a Friday, July tenth, twenty twenty six. Thank you, Josh, great,
Speaker 1: you're welcome as always. Have a great weekend, ceiling, you
Speaker 1: have a great weekend as well. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh, because I didn't a great job.
Speaker 1: Great jobs.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he didn't make the pic a side song yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when I get to pick a side, so he's
Speaker 2: turn a point. He had a point.
Speaker 1: Okay, today, learn this movie series right here, Star Wars.
Speaker 1: Star Wars is correct. George Lucas, creator of Star Wars.
Speaker 1: One of the muppets, Maestro Jim Henson to originally waste
Speaker 1: the role of Yoda in the Star Wars series, which
Speaker 1: would have sounded very different. I imagine, right, a little
Speaker 1: bit Henson there, but a little.
Speaker 3: More like that probably today learned petting a dog for
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes can lower your blood pressure by ten percent.
Speaker 1: I got to put that on them.
Speaker 3: You don't have to see lan, but any extended period
Speaker 3: of time of petting your dog, how about you pet
Speaker 3: Lexi a little bit and get that blood pressure.
Speaker 1: Then you do drop Lexi all the time.
Speaker 3: It will drop a little bit ten percent down. Sounds good.
Speaker 3: Recent I will that little closet. I already I was
Speaker 3: already telling this dream people. I was like, I'm wearing
Speaker 3: a cavalier King Charles Spaniel's shirt and I forgot one
Speaker 3: time and walked her around the neighborhood. I said, what
Speaker 3: a loser a dog walking a dog with the dog
Speaker 3: breed shirt on?
Speaker 2: Is so lame like the content.
Speaker 1: Yeah, today I learned this band van Halen, not van Hagar.
Speaker 3: David Lee Roth, frontman of Van Halen in the early eighties,
Speaker 3: used to pay his road crew one hundred dollars for
Speaker 3: every woman they would bring him backstage. He started the
Speaker 3: ban in nineteen seventy two and he really just wanted
Speaker 3: to meet the ladies.
Speaker 1: Sounds a little traffic, little trafficking, sounds a little trafficking.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for hacking out with us.
Speaker 1: We do appreciate it.
Speaker 2: We're back on Monday, same time, same place.
Speaker 1: Listening to the show, get the podcast in Thenewsjoky dot com.
Speaker 1: We'll see you Monday, everybody,
