Speaker 1: There is a lot to get into. That's what judges
Speaker 1: whether or not I'm feeling good. Sometimes in the morning,
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but it's like, hey, is
Speaker 1: there a lot to talk about? Today? Is a big
Speaker 1: fat yeh? I am I gonna have to work today?
Speaker 1: Or do I have to go create some news? Which
Speaker 1: it's been desperate enough. I'll just be honest with you
Speaker 1: around reflecting pool or whatever algae times I was thinking
Speaker 1: about going out to start some news myself. I was
Speaker 1: thinking about hitting the trail and trying to get a
Speaker 1: headliner to myself. But we're out of that now. We've
Speaker 1: got some fun along the way. So let's see what's
Speaker 1: happening here. Let's put our ears at the ground, our
Speaker 1: fingers on the pulse, unless see what's going on to
Speaker 1: this great, big, wide world of ours. This is an unbelievable,
Speaker 1: unbelievable clip, and I cannot believe this is real, Sile
Speaker 1: and you censored this right before the show. It's scary,
Speaker 1: apocalyptic you think is a good word for this one,
Speaker 1: I would agree. Yeah, holy cow, Josh. This is in
Speaker 1: rural Canada, in a little place called Armstrong on tail
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, So there's a fire in Armstrong, Ontario,
Speaker 1: and somehow, some way the train ends up driving through
Speaker 1: the fire. And a lot of options on train forward.
Speaker 1: He's got a plent It's gotta you having to make
Speaker 1: a decision. Do we wait for this problem to pass
Speaker 1: us or do we just drive right through.
Speaker 2: Here's how it wents.
Speaker 1: This could potentially overtake us here. This has getting a
Speaker 1: little scary. Yeah, okay, this is okay, I'll need to
Speaker 1: hurry up here, like seriously, we're in CA. Yeah, they're Canadians,
Speaker 1: so they're a little subdued folks. But just know it
Speaker 1: looks like the biggest hell fire inferno you have ever
Speaker 1: seen in your entire life. All right, that's what it
Speaker 1: looks like in this train and they're cruising right through
Speaker 1: the fire. Somebody says, nothing polar about this express. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very true. Yeah, this is the opposite of the Polar Express,
Speaker 1: the Solar Express. Ah. I mean I'll put this up
Speaker 1: on sea. You hear us, Yeah, I can hear you there.
Speaker 1: If now the knock it up, step it up, Jody.
Speaker 1: I guess they're just trying to drive through it or
Speaker 1: you know whatever. But it's so bad and they're just
Speaker 1: I think they're going very slow too.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, this kind of burnt off. So we'll be okay. Now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're good. No worries, not super high. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but i'd have to imagine driving a train. Even though
Speaker 1: you're in a train through an inferno, it's gonna get
Speaker 1: hot inside the train, like you're cooking, right, aren't you
Speaker 1: literally cooking? One would think, yeah, like this is what
Speaker 1: it's like to be in ann That's that's the feeling
Speaker 1: that you're getting there.
Speaker 2: It's a visual and it's a crazy one.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna pop this up during the break on
Speaker 1: see it now so you guys can take a peek,
Speaker 1: because my god, is there anything worth watching the rest
Speaker 1: of the sea lane. I don't know that. They just
Speaker 1: kind of talk some more.
Speaker 5: It's more of them being calm, and then I can't
Speaker 5: tell if they It sounds like they're getting out of it,
Speaker 5: but it doesn't look like they're getting out of it.
Speaker 5: Maybe they just the engines are back on and they're
Speaker 5: moving in the other direction or something.
Speaker 1: The guy just said it's getting a lot better now
Speaker 1: or something, and I'm like, is it getting better? With
Speaker 1: this still looks like a nightmare? Guy's got it late
Speaker 1: now or what? The train must have known that late?
Speaker 1: You got that light? Oh they're clipping O. Why is
Speaker 1: anybody still moving on these tracks right now? Holy cow?
Speaker 1: Well they're okay, can't sit in fire? Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: a fire, Josh that was across western Ontario, Canada, and
Speaker 1: it's the smoke from it going to be covering tonight
Speaker 1: and into tomorrow morning. Boston, New York City and Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: So if you're in those areas and you see a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of smoke, it gets real smoky. This what
Speaker 1: these trains were driving through, literally is that exact fire
Speaker 1: that's causing all of this in Ontario, Canada. But thankfully
Speaker 1: everybody's okay there, at least as far as we can
Speaker 1: tell right now. Unbelievable and the big battle that has
Speaker 1: been brewing forever in a day has finally come to
Speaker 1: a head here. And we learned yesterday right after the
Speaker 1: show that the House of Representatives, those are the political
Speaker 1: folks in Washington and one of the chambers, they passed
Speaker 1: legislation to make daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide, ending the
Speaker 1: twice a year clock changes by a three hundred and
Speaker 1: eight I believe it, and seventeen can I see it
Speaker 1: and look by partisan and other people saying yay to
Speaker 1: this bill that would lock us on And here's where
Speaker 1: the problem kind of arises. It will lock us on
Speaker 1: daylight saving time and we would not go back to
Speaker 1: like the regular with the standard time spending time, the
Speaker 1: spending time version of things. And it was Republicans one
Speaker 1: ninety three YA twenty two against with a nay vote,
Speaker 1: Democrats one fourteen YA, ninety five nay, Independent one YEA.
Speaker 1: So like almost no, not not almost everybody, but in
Speaker 1: two thirds of the people in Congress voted to pass
Speaker 1: this through the House and then it heads to the Senate.
Speaker 1: If it passes in the Senate, it will go to
Speaker 1: Trump's desk, and Trump will be able to determine with
Speaker 1: a veto or not a vito, and he ain't going
Speaker 1: to veto it that the daylight saving situation will change forever,
Speaker 1: or at least until we decide we don't like that anymore.
Speaker 2: But here's how it happened.
Speaker 1: In the in the chambers, they're getting the final vot
Speaker 1: vats in literally passing them over. Oh the A three
Speaker 1: eight seventeen. He hasn't had his bourbon yet. He's scared
Speaker 1: because he knows what's happening now. He loves standard time.
Speaker 1: The war is on, folks. I saw here's one of
Speaker 1: the responses. I've seen two million views. Just a few
Speaker 1: A political things to consider here says this person.
Speaker 2: A political means not political. In case you're wondering.
Speaker 1: One, we already tried this back in nineteen seventy four,
Speaker 1: when permanent Daylight saving time had seventy nine percent public
Speaker 1: support per polling, but rapidly became unpopular after very late
Speaker 1: winter sunrises, and it was canceled within two years.
Speaker 2: So we did this back in nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 1: Fool you twice. Shame on me.
Speaker 2: Don't get fulled again. Yeah, we won't get fulled again.
Speaker 1: Number two, the impacts of permanent daylight saving time are
Speaker 1: going to be especially pronounced near the edges of the
Speaker 1: time zones. We're already especially late or early sunrises and
Speaker 1: sunsets are going to be come almost absurdly late or early,
Speaker 1: depending on the time of year. And then somebody says
Speaker 1: standard time should be made more permanent. That's what a
Speaker 1: lot of people want it. There's people going, whoa hold on?
Speaker 1: Hold on? Permanent standard time is the one that we wanted.
Speaker 1: It feels like we went with daylight saving time. You
Speaker 1: wanted permanent daylight time. I don't I want the one
Speaker 1: that is the hold on. Let me check, let me check.
Speaker 1: Here's here's what this is going to look like. If
Speaker 1: daylight saving Time is observed year round in the winter,
Speaker 1: the sunrise in Florida will be eight o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2: In New York eight a twenty right around the same.
Speaker 1: In it. Well, let's go over to New Orleans seven
Speaker 1: point fifty seven sunrise, Dallas eight thirty sunrise. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not that bad when the sun comes up at
Speaker 1: ate something that's bad for sunway kids. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't have kids at the bus stop. I have kids
Speaker 1: that are twenty five years old. Or car works. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: hold on, his car broke down. That's that is not
Speaker 1: at the bus stop. Oh yeah, yeah, his car is functioning.
Speaker 1: I thought I had another problem on my hands. Don't
Speaker 1: need that for anm mite. Eight o'clock or so would
Speaker 1: be when during the winter the sun came up, and
Speaker 1: then obviously the sun would go down later at night.
Speaker 1: But that's what I like. I'm not up that early.
Speaker 1: This is a selfish thing on my part. I understand.
Speaker 1: I'm somebody who would be fine with this, or I'd
Speaker 1: be fine with the other side too, if you just
Speaker 1: want to stay on the other side of it. But
Speaker 1: I feel like now they can't undo what they've done.
Speaker 1: They've passed this in the House of Representatives to keep
Speaker 1: permanent daylight saving time, and if they go, whoops, we're dummies.
Speaker 1: We screwed this up. Let's unwind it. It's never it's
Speaker 1: never ever going to work in their favor.
Speaker 5: What would be the what would be the extreme inconvenience
Speaker 5: for people if we kept permanent standard time. So right
Speaker 5: now it's saying the sun would rise too late for people. Yeah,
Speaker 5: eight nineteen in Orlando, eight oh nine in Miami, eight
Speaker 5: twenty in New York. That would be too late for
Speaker 5: people during the winter. That's the latest winter sunrise. Does
Speaker 5: that mean if we kept permanent standard time that during
Speaker 5: the summer, like say right where we are right now,
Speaker 5: middle of the year, early July to mid July, we
Speaker 5: would start seeing a sunset at like four or five Maybe,
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It all gets too confusing for me because there's different
Speaker 1: times a year, different time zones. So it would be
Speaker 1: in the winter that the sun was coming up the
Speaker 1: sunrise was at seven o'clock in the morning instead of
Speaker 1: eight o'clock in the morning, So that some people would
Speaker 1: like that it depends on what your day is. It
Speaker 1: really that's not what you do. So they farm said,
Speaker 1: like we tried this in nineteen seventy four, people got
Speaker 1: upset about it after it was super popular and the
Speaker 1: popularity dropped and they changed it back. So I don't
Speaker 1: even know if the Senate will do this or not
Speaker 1: do this, but that's where we are right now. They
Speaker 1: did a vote on this, and yesterday they passed this
Speaker 1: in the House of Representatives.
Speaker 2: Could we forever be on daylight saving time?
Speaker 1: Maybe? Possibly we shall see friend all right. A couple
Speaker 1: of emails kicking us off here on the show, as
Speaker 1: per usual tips at the neewsjunkie dot com. Heather in
Speaker 1: New Samirna Beach emails the show help. She says, Hey,
Speaker 1: News Junkie croup. I know you're getting flooded with lots
Speaker 1: of questions, but this happened to me yesterday and I'd
Speaker 1: really like to know what was going on. When did
Speaker 1: it become a crime to fall asleep in your car?
Speaker 1: I'm a very tired uber eats and door dash driver.
Speaker 1: I do food deliveries full time. Unfortunately right now while
Speaker 1: I'm job hunting, Well good for you for getting out there.
Speaker 1: It has been impossible to find a job and if possible,
Speaker 1: to make any money doing this full time, as all
Speaker 1: my money goes towards gas and I can't pay any bills,
Speaker 1: so I'm struggling right now, and I'm working around the
Speaker 1: clock barely sleeping. So I sleep in my car a
Speaker 1: lot trying to keep going. I'm falling asleep by accident
Speaker 1: a lot. I'll get all my gas from wah Wah
Speaker 1: and then I'll fall asleep. Okay, so wuah Wah A
Speaker 1: couple of times they've fallowed asleep. I constantly get pulled
Speaker 1: over a while sleeping. Wait, wait, ohoa, whoa you get
Speaker 1: pulled over a while sleeping and I have to explain
Speaker 1: to the cops. Now, I'm not drunk. It's perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: I'm just really tired. But yesterday one of the Wahwah
Speaker 1: locations where it's happened to me more than once, the
Speaker 1: woman flipped out on me. She would like to ban me.
Speaker 1: I'm a paying customer. I buy all my gas from
Speaker 1: wah Wah every single day. I buy gas probably every
Speaker 1: other day, and I buy food, so I spend a
Speaker 1: lot of money there.
Speaker 2: And I used a bathroom.
Speaker 1: Now every time somebody catches me sleeping, they go in
Speaker 1: and tell them I'm sleeping in my car. The manager said,
Speaker 1: came back, came with backup like I was gonna fight
Speaker 1: her or something, and then she said you can't sleep here.
Speaker 1: I fell asleep by accident. Why is this such a
Speaker 1: big deal in such a crime, despite the fact that
Speaker 1: I'm in my own car and seem to remember my
Speaker 1: dad falling asleep many times when I was growing up
Speaker 1: like this, Why is there such a big deal now?
Speaker 1: Much love, Heather? Really interesting? I mean, if you're if
Speaker 1: you're just taking a little nap. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: what zoomers do during the day, isn't it. Uh No,
Speaker 1: in movie theaters. With the story I saw, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think this is actually true, but I'll bring
Speaker 1: it up here just in case. But the story was
Speaker 1: that the that Zoomer workers were so tired at work
Speaker 1: that they would go to the movie theaters where they
Speaker 1: had passes, and they would just take a nap during
Speaker 1: the day in the movie theaters and like movie pass Yeah.
Speaker 1: Here here's the story here. Gen Z employees can't bear
Speaker 1: the nine to five grinds, so they're using lunch breaks
Speaker 1: to nap and cry and bizarre places throughout in New
Speaker 1: York City. I again, I don't know if there's any
Speaker 1: truth at all to this, but that's what the story says.
Speaker 1: Gen Z employees can't bear the nine to five grinds.
Speaker 1: So they're using lunch breaks to nap and cry bizarre
Speaker 1: places throughout New York City. And she's saying, like, look,
Speaker 1: I'm out there, I'm working a butt off.
Speaker 2: I'm tired.
Speaker 1: Can I take a little nap, a little siesta as
Speaker 1: it were, take a little nap inside of my car
Speaker 1: at a wall wall parking lot?
Speaker 2: Is that such a crime?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I think if you're the wah wah,
Speaker 5: that's on you know, it's your decision on whether or
Speaker 5: not you you say, all right, i'd I allow people
Speaker 5: to sleep in parking spaces in my parking lot, or
Speaker 5: I don't and go on your way, Like, would that
Speaker 5: not be their private property the parking lot?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think so so it would be so.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you have to look historically at places
Speaker 5: that are friendly to sleeping in your car, I think
Speaker 5: Walmart is the place that like allows people to park
Speaker 5: our vs overnight right.
Speaker 2: For two weeks before they figure it.
Speaker 1: Out, sometimes wait for the smell to pop up. But
Speaker 1: I've heard nobody's not.
Speaker 2: Allowed to be dead. Josh, you don't know.
Speaker 1: I've heard that you can sleep in a Walmart parking
Speaker 1: lot Before I don't know if that's true. I've heard
Speaker 1: that you could like park your RV there over night.
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of these things are true,
Speaker 1: but emailer, thank you for that. We'll throw it out
Speaker 1: to the people. We'll see what they say about this.
Speaker 1: Ed emails the show tips at the news Junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: He said on yesterday's Pick a Side at Jersey Mike's
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of the entitled people who think their
Speaker 1: birthday is a national holiday. True.
Speaker 2: I came up with a way to get rid of them.
Speaker 1: Ed says, I say, I left your present on your
Speaker 1: bed this morning, and they say, there's nothing on my bed.
Speaker 1: And then I said, see you found it. That's exactly
Speaker 1: what I left you, nothing And they always get mad
Speaker 1: and walk away. All right, Ed, thank you Forirn Farnell
Speaker 1: never never recover. Thank you for the email ed tips
Speaker 1: of the News Junkie Dad. It works for Ed all right,
Speaker 1: You too can email the show. It's as easy as
Speaker 1: Ed made it seem. Tips at the News Junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: If you want to be anonymous, put that right up
Speaker 1: on top. Okay, busy, busy show today. As I said,
Speaker 1: more details about this stomach illness. This this weird case
Speaker 1: that's gone around the United States of America. It's blown
Speaker 1: wide open. So I want to talk about that for sure.
Speaker 1: We got to pick a side on the way. And
Speaker 1: then the most unbelievable story in quite a while is
Speaker 1: coming up at the top of the hour loaded up
Speaker 1: today and it's all coming up next on the news junkie,
Speaker 1: just out of curiosity. Are we all positive that we
Speaker 1: don't have cyclospora today? We're all good? No, good to
Speaker 1: hear Josh. You see, Lane, I think I had a
Speaker 1: dream that I got it.
Speaker 6: Oh that's when you wake up and you're like, oh no,
Speaker 6: was the.
Speaker 1: Dream like an absolute, unrelenting fountain coming out of you?
Speaker 5: You know, I don't remember exactly, but I just I
Speaker 5: had this. Somebody mentioned cyclospora this morning, and I was like,
Speaker 5: why am I having a weird feeling like I dreamt
Speaker 5: about cyclospora, which honestly sounds like the worst use of
Speaker 5: my dream.
Speaker 1: Time if I'm.
Speaker 5: Gonna think about it, Like, realistically, do you know it's
Speaker 5: so brutal about this.
Speaker 2: If you don't know about this, this is this thing.
Speaker 1: It's spreading way faster than anybody knows right now, and
Speaker 1: it's a stomach bug from this little tiny creature, and
Speaker 1: the creature is in lettuce or some sort of produce.
Speaker 1: They're not exactly sure Taco Bell taking a hit on this,
Speaker 1: but there's no proof, no evidence As of right now
Speaker 1: when I say this, there's no evidence that Taco Bell
Speaker 1: was responsible. But their stock has been plummeting because of
Speaker 1: all the headlines and people connecting this cyclo sporesis or
Speaker 1: whatever cyclospora connecting it to Taco Bell and leafy lettuce.
Speaker 1: Taco Bell just decided to remove pico, lettuce, guacamole and
Speaker 1: cilantros and stuff from their menu. They don't want to
Speaker 1: make things worse than they already are, but their stock
Speaker 1: has gotten hit really, really hard. The worst part, I
Speaker 1: think I.
Speaker 5: Heard Jimmy or somebody point out, like they're removing all
Speaker 5: the things that make them like, like like half the
Speaker 5: things that make the Mexican like just a little pico
Speaker 5: de gayo and cilantro go a long way to make something,
Speaker 5: you know, a lot more text.
Speaker 1: Mechs, more texts than mechs at the moment right now
Speaker 1: is what they're sure leaning on. That's where they find themselves.
Speaker 1: But the brutal part about this apparently, and I don't
Speaker 1: wish it on you. I wish it on that one person,
Speaker 1: but I don't wish it on you. I swear it's
Speaker 1: because this thing is It's called cyclospora for a reason.
Speaker 1: What happens is when you get this, you feel absolutely terrible.
Speaker 1: You have cramps and pains in your stomach so bad
Speaker 1: that you can't function, you don't want to go to work.
Speaker 1: You're just kind of laid out in bed, that's how
Speaker 1: bad your stomach pains are. And when you're not just
Speaker 1: sitting there doubled over from the stomach pains from this
Speaker 1: cyclospora thing that's spreading around, well, then you're in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: And I won't go into detail, but suffice to say
Speaker 1: it is really bad in the bathroom. They keep using
Speaker 1: the word explosive. Explosive in the headlines is a lot
Speaker 1: for me. It is. But here's the kicker. Take the
Speaker 1: word itself, cyclospora, and right in there you find to
Speaker 1: me one of the worst parts. They call it cyclospora
Speaker 1: because it goes in cycles, and you think it's gone
Speaker 1: completely and then bam, it comes back and gets you again,
Speaker 1: and then you think it's gone again. And then boom
Speaker 1: it comes. For weeks and or months you are feeling
Speaker 1: like this. So if there ever was a good time
Speaker 1: to stay away from produce or wash the hell out
Speaker 1: of it, now would probably be that time for you.
Speaker 1: Now would be the time to do that. Some of
Speaker 1: us have very strange ideas of what happens with food
Speaker 1: that hits our counters, food that goes into our refrigerators.
Speaker 1: All of those ideas, I think to evaporate from your
Speaker 1: head if you just knew how this whole process works.
Speaker 1: Like I think, people think, well, they're like bleaching these
Speaker 1: and there's nothing on them at all, and there's no
Speaker 1: you know, there's no problem. No, the protest you get
Speaker 1: is still it's a little bit dirty, it's got some
Speaker 1: stuff on it, it's got some bad stuff on it.
Speaker 1: And these infections have been making their way all through
Speaker 1: the Midwest. I said this, and you can agree with
Speaker 1: me or disagree whatever, But I guess there's about five
Speaker 1: thousand plus cases, which beats the US record in the
Speaker 1: past of this particular issue.
Speaker 2: It's exploding.
Speaker 1: But I think right now the amount of people with
Speaker 1: this cyclospora is another zero after that, because I don't
Speaker 1: think people want to admit it. When people used to say, oh,
Speaker 1: I tested positive for COVID or testing you know, even
Speaker 1: some of the stigma has fallen off of HIV.
Speaker 2: For God's sake.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you used to come out and you'd be like,
Speaker 1: I test a positive for HIV, and at first they
Speaker 1: would shun you and nobody would want to be near you.
Speaker 1: But now people go, okay. You know, things have changed there,
Speaker 1: and with psyclospora, there's still a lot of stigma because
Speaker 1: of the explosive elements of those headlines. So just be
Speaker 1: aware that is absolutely floating around out there. If you
Speaker 1: had any issues, maybe you feel a little rough right now,
Speaker 1: let us know. Send a dispatch at the Newsjunkie dot
Speaker 1: com or an email to tips Tips at the Newsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com. Quick moment here for you. This is I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play this for you. You tell me if you
Speaker 1: think the officer should be in trouble. I have a
Speaker 1: feeling I know where people are going to go here.
Speaker 1: This is happening in Las Vegas, Nevada. And this is
Speaker 1: bodycam footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The
Speaker 1: original incident that I'm about to play for you. Happen
Speaker 1: on May fifteenth, but it's just now making the rounds.
Speaker 1: The police officer is about to pull somebody over. Now
Speaker 1: when you you're the interaction that follows in just a second,
Speaker 1: when I click play, I want you to consider whether
Speaker 1: this would happen to you, Whether this would happen to
Speaker 1: Joe Blow, whether this would happen to Somemrando. You know,
Speaker 1: you're John Jacob out there who's just hanging out and
Speaker 1: enjoying life in Las Vegas, Nevada. Or whether this is.
Speaker 2: What you might call special treatment.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 2: Here's the officer pulling over this vehicle.
Speaker 7: Hello, hy doing, sir, Good sergeant, chego at your police.
Speaker 7: The reason I'm stopping he is for the little martin
Speaker 7: I'm aware, for the red light violation back there. You're
Speaker 7: right turn onto guiles here, so you're good to go, sir.
Speaker 7: Appreciate you have a good day.
Speaker 2: That's it, okay.
Speaker 1: So to bring you into this a little deeper, because
Speaker 1: there's some of that you probably miss. When the officer
Speaker 1: comes up, he sort of hits his hands on the
Speaker 1: sill of the guy's vehicle window, if you can call
Speaker 1: it that, and he hits his hands on there, and
Speaker 1: I mean as fast as he could say it. The
Speaker 1: driver says, I'm Joe Lombardo. You guys probably already know
Speaker 1: where this is going if you haven't looked it up.
Speaker 1: But have you have you googled Joe Lombardo? You have
Speaker 1: you the governor of Nevada. That's right, Sea Land, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the governor of the state of Nevada.
Speaker 2: That the officer has pulled.
Speaker 1: Over, he says, as fast as he can when he
Speaker 1: just apparently ran a red light and the officer pulled
Speaker 1: him over. He says, I'm Joe Lombardo, and the cop goes,
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 7: Clo you doing, sir, good sergeant checkom at your police
Speaker 7: The reason I'm stopping here is for the right.
Speaker 1: There, like he couldn't even get to the reason why
Speaker 1: he was stopping. I'm Joe Lombardo. I'm Joe Lombardo. I'm
Speaker 1: aware for there.
Speaker 2: You're right turn onto guiles.
Speaker 1: Here and he says, come on, man, and then the
Speaker 1: officer you're going to go, sir, You're good to go?
Speaker 1: All right? Would I have been good to go? Would
Speaker 1: you have been good to go? Would everybody else have
Speaker 1: been good to go? Or is this the treatment? You
Speaker 1: get when you're the governor. Because in my world, let's
Speaker 1: call it Shawn World, okay, population, everybody who wants to
Speaker 1: come uh yeah, In in Shawn world, if the governor or,
Speaker 1: do I have to do it at Sean wal Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I meant by that, you move past it.
Speaker 1: In Shawn World, everybody that gets in trouble, whether they're
Speaker 1: the governor, or the chief of police, or the president
Speaker 1: of the United States or I don't care the head
Speaker 1: of the HOA, every single person should be treated exactly
Speaker 1: the same. You either violated a rule or you didn't
Speaker 1: the idea that this guy does. I'm Joel Lobarto. I'm
Speaker 1: Joel Lobarto. I ask you, is that fair? Is this fairness?
Speaker 1: And is this and the answer to this is obviously yes,
Speaker 1: But I'll wait for you to say it. Is this
Speaker 1: one something that happens all the time, because I think
Speaker 1: we all know how this goes, right, I think we
Speaker 1: all know how this goes. Kevin says, didn't Sean do
Speaker 1: that to the SWAT team once? Do you know who
Speaker 1: I am? I did not, sir, No, I did not
Speaker 1: do that. You are remembering it wrong. That's not how
Speaker 1: it went, but this guy did, and he said it
Speaker 1: immediately and it worked. The cops like that, Okay, see
Speaker 1: you later, have a good day. So I asked you,
Speaker 1: is that fair?
Speaker 2: The answer is no.
Speaker 1: This is a spoiler alert. Maybe some of you think, no,
Speaker 1: the guy's the governor. They should treat them like this.
Speaker 1: Fang on TMJ chats's politicians should have to pay double Actually,
Speaker 1: anybody who tries to pull the name drop should have
Speaker 1: to pay extra. I could get behind that. I could.
Speaker 2: I think, you know what, Let me ask you this.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: What is the purpose of the governor dropping his name
Speaker 1: the moment the police officer walks up to the vehicle.
Speaker 1: What's the purpose of that? Because I would suggest, if
Speaker 1: you agree he lent, I would suggest it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: do you know what you're getting into right here? This
Speaker 1: could be the end of your job if you give
Speaker 1: me a ticket. I don't know if I if I
Speaker 1: saw it as a threat. I mean, he did say
Speaker 1: it very quickly, that that was a little about it.
Speaker 5: He's the guy was almost not finished saying his name,
Speaker 5: and it seemed like the police officer looked, looked up
Speaker 5: who it was, sees who it was says, I'm just
Speaker 5: gonna go up I've already pulled the guy over. I'm
Speaker 5: just gonna go up here, tell him what he did,
Speaker 5: and you know, try to drive better, be on your
Speaker 5: way right. And like, even if that were my plan,
Speaker 5: if he came at me like that, I would have
Speaker 5: been like, um, you know, just pissed me off enough
Speaker 5: to want to write him a ticket because it's a
Speaker 5: little annoying for me.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite things ever, and it was taken
Speaker 1: away from me because they reversed this. But there was
Speaker 1: a police officer one time on a video we played
Speaker 1: on the show, and uh, the police officer pulled over
Speaker 1: another kind and the cop was apoplectic, just the upset,
Speaker 1: nuclear upset, that's what I mean by that. Was so
Speaker 1: upset about this other fellow cop pulling them over when
Speaker 1: they were clearly speeding on their way to work, and
Speaker 1: they're like, what do you do? How could you do that?
Speaker 1: And then the cop drove away from the police stop
Speaker 1: and ran out of there, which for all any of
Speaker 1: us would have been evading the scene or whatever. It
Speaker 1: would be running away from the crime itself. And that
Speaker 1: I was like, that cop was so brave for pulling
Speaker 1: over another cop and sticking them to it for a
Speaker 1: little while, but then they reversed it. This is sort
Speaker 1: of just how it is out there. You drop your name,
Speaker 1: you drop your position. Isay, that shouldn't be the way
Speaker 1: it is. The video shows a traffic stop of former
Speaker 1: Clark County sheriff in current Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, in
Speaker 1: an incident where an officer said he failed to stop
Speaker 1: at a red light, but he just.
Speaker 2: Let him go.
Speaker 1: See you later. Have a nice day, he said the
Speaker 1: statement on this Two months ago, Governor Lebardo and his
Speaker 1: wife were briefly pulled over on their way to the
Speaker 1: airport by the police department over a question about whether
Speaker 1: Governor Lobardo would come to a complete stop while turning.
Speaker 1: He spoke with the officer, fully complied with all instructions,
Speaker 1: and was promptly on his way. He remains grateful for
Speaker 1: the professionalism of the officer involved. It was just very
Speaker 1: professional stuff. So let me know what you think. Is
Speaker 1: that fair? Hit us up tips at the Newsjunkie dot
Speaker 1: com or send a dispatch at the newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Right now, quick break, I have some audio that we
Speaker 1: need to investigate. Allegedly a sound omitted while a person
Speaker 1: was giving a very high profile speech. Was that sound
Speaker 1: emanated from this person's body? We'll investigate together. I've got
Speaker 1: to pick a side for you and a whole bunch more.
Speaker 1: It's coming up next on the Newsjunkie. I've got an
Speaker 1: audio clip to investigate here. And then people are ragging
Speaker 1: on somebody for the National Anthem performance they did. But
Speaker 1: I listened to a little bit of it. I wanted
Speaker 1: to play it for everybody because I didn't really think
Speaker 1: it was that bad. I just didn't, you know. I
Speaker 1: collect all the things I collect for the show. I
Speaker 1: saw people just completely losing it over this National Anthem performance,
Speaker 1: and I thought, what the hell, what what are you?
Speaker 1: What are you even talking about? So I'll play that
Speaker 1: for you in a moment too. I was talking during
Speaker 1: the break. I was right about this when I talked
Speaker 1: about it when all of this was happening. Some of
Speaker 1: you are still dumb and wrong about this. Snoop frog,
Speaker 1: Please get a hold of yourself. You're embarrassing yourself. I said,
Speaker 1: I think like three or four months ago on the show.
Speaker 1: I'd go back to the clip if I could find
Speaker 1: it in the archives, but I wasn't doing transcripts. Then
Speaker 1: I told everybody I had heard what was going on
Speaker 1: with some contract negotiations on the satellite radio side of things,
Speaker 1: and I said, I had heard that Howard's term was
Speaker 1: going to go to like a one day almost like
Speaker 1: a podcast sort of thing where they just did like
Speaker 1: one celebrity interview and that's it, that was the entire thing.
Speaker 2: Or they were just going to fire him there.
Speaker 1: They were going to be two of those options were
Speaker 1: up on the table, and that's exactly what happened. And
Speaker 1: I told you, look, when it comes to radio stuff,
Speaker 1: I know, I know some people in the industry. I
Speaker 1: talk to people in the industry. I talk to people
Speaker 1: all over the place. I happen to know what's going on.
Speaker 1: And then afterwards, Snoop Frog says, Lol, that's page six
Speaker 1: info right there. Like I love when sometimes people in
Speaker 1: chat like that, Like, I don't want to pick on
Speaker 1: you too much, Snoop Frog, I love you at all, right,
Speaker 1: but I'm not getting this information from page six, just
Speaker 1: for the record, I'm getting from Barrett Media, which is
Speaker 1: a radio industry publication that people know and respect that
Speaker 1: you've never heard of in your entire life. That's probably
Speaker 1: where page six is getting it from or something. But
Speaker 1: I'm also getting the information for people who know about
Speaker 1: these things. There is like a weird thing that happens online.
Speaker 1: And when you find only know about this, Look, he's
Speaker 1: still doing it, dude. One news outlet says it, and
Speaker 1: it's page six. You are sort of a symptom of
Speaker 1: a problem that I see a lot. Right now, it's
Speaker 1: this wrong and loud at the same time, right is
Speaker 1: a wrong and loud, and you're like, why do you
Speaker 1: think you know more about this than somebody else? And
Speaker 1: you don't usually notice these things until Like one thing
Speaker 1: that I always see from people is if you're part
Speaker 1: of a news story. If you're part of a story
Speaker 1: that's in the news and then you start to see
Speaker 1: it get coverage and you see everybody talking about it,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh god, oh good God, no one knows
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. It only hits you when you
Speaker 1: have the level of expertise or you're involved in a
Speaker 1: story like that. Like let's say you were somewhere in
Speaker 1: a tragic attack happened and you started to see the
Speaker 1: stories pop up about it. That'll be the moment in
Speaker 1: your life, where you go, oh God, everybody's talking about
Speaker 1: this and no one has any idea what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: That is how the media tends to operate. They operate
Speaker 1: in these ways. I don't operate that way. You could
Speaker 1: believe that or don't believe that, but you know, you'll
Speaker 1: find out a lot of times that it ends up
Speaker 1: being true if I say something like that.
Speaker 2: If it's not, call me out. That's what I'm doing
Speaker 2: around here.
Speaker 1: Now, let's get to this national anthem really quickly, because
Speaker 1: I just don't get it.
Speaker 2: I don't get it.
Speaker 1: First things first, it's Patty Leabelle, who when we put
Speaker 1: Patti LaBelle in the legend category, I thought so I
Speaker 1: would say, Patti Leabelle is a legend. She's a pretty
Speaker 1: damn impressive performer, and she's got beautiful voice and has
Speaker 1: been relevant for what sixty years? Now? Am I overdoing it? No,
Speaker 1: She's been around for quite some time. And she was
Speaker 1: singing the national anthem at the All Star Game. And
Speaker 1: I've talked before about these kind of performances, and I said,
Speaker 1: one thing that kind of sucks is if you sign
Speaker 1: on to do the national anthem, if you don't comple
Speaker 1: completely drill it. Everybody is so mean about this song.
Speaker 1: There's so many people that be whoa way too far.
Speaker 5: So the story we never hear this story about like
Speaker 5: they have taken to singing America the Beautiful at a
Speaker 5: lot of sports events too. Yeah, and see the song
Speaker 5: is basically seen as an also ran and nobody goes,
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, did you hear how Josh Fowler butchered
Speaker 5: America the Beautiful?
Speaker 1: Uh huh? I mean it was the most ugly beautiful
Speaker 1: that I've ever heard in my life. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people who get upsete of this. I'll go
Speaker 1: to the source material in this one. Let me play
Speaker 1: it for you. Here's Patti LaBelle doing the national anthem
Speaker 1: at the All Star Game? Is it that bad? The
Speaker 1: headline I have says legendary singer blasted for disrespectful national
Speaker 1: anthem twist before MLB All Star Game. My guess is,
Speaker 1: without looking too deep into this, this is like one
Speaker 1: person on social media.
Speaker 5: Okay, disrespectful twist? Did you change a lyric that she's
Speaker 5: singing in cursive like some people get mad about.
Speaker 2: I think she changed the pace a little bit.
Speaker 1: Here she is and they're building like a flag on
Speaker 1: the field, not the football kind. Can you sing what
Speaker 1: the domser line? All right? You could tell she's slowed
Speaker 1: it down, and she brought a different rhythm to it.
Speaker 1: But it's Patty LaBelle and it doesn't sound that bad
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 8: What we.
Speaker 1: At the wine.
Speaker 9: Like flat.
Speaker 1: Aggravate on YouTube? Say Sean, are you s word PD
Speaker 1: on Instagram? No, I am not, but we we do
Speaker 1: know who that is. Yeah, we do know who that is,
Speaker 1: but it is not me.
Speaker 9: Broad and Bridestock throve the patroles.
Speaker 2: What's the I think I like it?
Speaker 1: You know what it is.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think this is the problem, but
Speaker 5: you know, one of the things I like about it.
Speaker 1: She's kind of.
Speaker 5: The pace seems slow, but that's just because of the
Speaker 5: drum beat they picked the This is actually kind of
Speaker 5: a fast pace.
Speaker 1: For the national anthem. So she's moving faster than it seems.
Speaker 1: You know, Aretha Franklin, Oh does she go slow? I
Speaker 1: don't remember. It wasn't that Aretha Franklin that I only
Speaker 1: remember ROSI o'donald right, Roseanne Bar, Yeah, I remember Roseanne Bar.
Speaker 1: I think this sounds nice. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: reaction would be that would make anybody. And again this
Speaker 1: isn't more of like the fake news type of thing
Speaker 1: of taking one person on Twitter and highlighting those people
Speaker 1: the heckler's veto. So ninety percent of the country goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: Patti LeBell killed it sound a great, beautiful voice. And
Speaker 1: then they find the one heckler who posts always on
Speaker 1: like Twitter or Facebook or something, and they bring that
Speaker 1: person forward and that gets to be the represent for
Speaker 1: what people.
Speaker 2: Thought about this.
Speaker 1: That's why I keep talking in these ways, and I'm
Speaker 1: talking to you, stop saying we you represent you as
Speaker 1: a person. That's it. This person on Twitter represents them.
Speaker 2: As a person.
Speaker 1: But the news articles will always be like blasted, the
Speaker 1: crowds blasted or for disrespectful anthem. That's good, right, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: quick check how old is she?
Speaker 2: Because she's hitting the notes?
Speaker 1: Eighty two years old? What yeah, what do you want?
Speaker 1: She's hitting the notes. She sounds good. It's not disrespectful,
Speaker 1: like there's something else about that. How do you expect
Speaker 1: everybody to get on board together with this sort of Hey,
Speaker 1: we're all Americans sing. If you take somebody's performance like
Speaker 1: this and go that's disrespectful. Now, if she was farting
Speaker 1: into the microphone to the tune of the national anthem drum.
Speaker 1: I'd agree, I would agree. I would say, yes, so
Speaker 1: can we got a problem here? But I thought that
Speaker 1: was fine.
Speaker 2: Folks.
Speaker 1: You could tell me if you didn't, but I thought
Speaker 1: it was good. I didn't care for her changing the
Speaker 1: word free to flag, but it's much ado about nothing.
Speaker 1: Somebody said she still sings better than me, but I
Speaker 1: gotta admit I sure, miss Whitney, Well, get over it.
Speaker 1: She change the flag? Did she mess that up? Yeah,
Speaker 1: she might have made a mistake, and there was some flag.
Speaker 1: Patty LaBelle is one of our greatest singers. Why people
Speaker 1: think they have to add their own twist to the
Speaker 1: national anthem boggles my mind. To leave it alone. It
Speaker 1: was not meant to be sung with runs or making
Speaker 1: it your own. Stop it to people post stuff like
Speaker 1: this on social media. I would like to tell you something.
Speaker 1: Do you think if you went back to the original
Speaker 1: moment where the national anthem was written? Do you think
Speaker 1: that the person it would have heard it today and gone,
Speaker 1: That's exactly how I wanted it. Well, I think that.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean I wouldn't even take that out of it.
Speaker 5: Wasn't it a poem?
Speaker 1: First? Yes, yeah, it was a poem. Was it a
Speaker 1: Francis scott Key?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: And wrote it under a bridge where people were firing
Speaker 1: rockets over him or something, I don't know, rockets right,
Speaker 1: the ramparts were flying off and and I don't think
Speaker 1: that car is broken. I think he would be upset
Speaker 1: about his bridge being knocked down. But I think Francis
Speaker 1: Scott Key would go, hey, what is this?
Speaker 2: What is this song?
Speaker 1: This person is singing? This is not what I had
Speaker 1: in mind. So the idea, you're like, well, they're changing it,
Speaker 1: leave it alone. It was not meant to be this way.
Speaker 1: I think you're just used to the way that you've
Speaker 1: been hearing it. And I thought it was good. Again,
Speaker 1: I didn't think, I don't need to go any longer
Speaker 1: about this. I thought it was a decent perform. It's
Speaker 1: was it the best I ever heard? Was it Whitney Houston?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 1: But like how weird? It was really good? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: thought it, but it was really good. It was it
Speaker 1: the best I've ever heard?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 1: Was it Whitney Houston. But that's also a weird thing too,
Speaker 1: Like Whitney Houston is once in a lifetime voice. For
Speaker 1: God's sake, Not everybody's going to be there, but she
Speaker 1: was good. Well, let us know what you think. Send
Speaker 1: a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com right now.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play this quickly.
Speaker 5: I mean, you don't you don't want to know what
Speaker 5: Francis scott Key, you know, thinks about it. He might
Speaker 5: have some very offensive answers. You know, you played this
Speaker 5: for Francis.
Speaker 1: Ko Key and he goes, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa in
Speaker 1: a second, yeah, there might be a totally different version
Speaker 1: of what they think that would all sound like. And
Speaker 1: not to mention, isn't it just a ripoff? Didn't we
Speaker 1: just rip off another song? Now that I don't like
Speaker 1: the national anthem folks, don't get me wrong, I do.
Speaker 1: Are you talking about the actual music of the song.
Speaker 1: Isn't it like isn't God Saved the Queen? Almost the same? Exactly?
Speaker 2: Act like, no, it's not.
Speaker 1: There's there's a song like that where we just took
Speaker 1: it and then we were like, all right, this is
Speaker 1: the American version.
Speaker 6: Now, he says, it's set to the music of eighteenth
Speaker 6: century British drinking song called the Anacreontic song.
Speaker 2: Can you bring that up for me? Thereontic song?
Speaker 1: We're drinking and we're drink. Here, there we go.
Speaker 2: Yeh see wait we figured this out.
Speaker 1: Ll be here. If this is a rip off, right,
Speaker 1: let me see. Franciscott Q would be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you guys ripped them off. It was supposed to be
Speaker 1: to the tune of Informer by Snow what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Oh city can?
Speaker 11: Oh? Yeah, oh they you know what we need to do.
Speaker 1: We need to get somebody from the seventeen hundred's, We
Speaker 1: need to bring them to modern times and put them
Speaker 1: on social media. So when a woman posts this, like
Speaker 1: why would you veer away from the original, if Francis
Speaker 1: Scott Key could crack his knuckles and be like, the
Speaker 1: original was nothing like this, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: You know there would be somebody complained about it. From
Speaker 1: those standards, I think that would be worth paying attention to.
Speaker 1: I have the audio clip that I want to investigate.
Speaker 1: I'll save it for after the break. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to I wanted to get this done with, but we'll
Speaker 1: save that for after the break.
Speaker 2: We'll investigate.
Speaker 1: And then this data center story that is just mind blowing.
Speaker 1: You cannot miss out on this, It's coming up next.
Speaker 1: And then you use junkie. This is wild and I
Speaker 1: only see the tide turning more on this, especially after
Speaker 1: the clip I'm about to play for you because it's
Speaker 1: gonna get your blood.
Speaker 2: Boiling a little bit.
Speaker 1: But when you ask anybody now, do you want a
Speaker 1: data center in your neighborhood or would you allow a
Speaker 1: data center in your neighborhood? My god, have they lost
Speaker 1: this battle? These data centers are like it's one of
Speaker 1: the most things that is universally hated by Americans right now.
Speaker 1: They don't want data centers in their area. And they
Speaker 1: have plenty of reasons to feel that way. Honest to God,
Speaker 1: they do because a lot of the stuff you hear
Speaker 1: about data centers there's a bunch of lies. Like they'll say, well,
Speaker 1: it's going to bring a lot of jobs to the area,
Speaker 1: But actually, I don't mean to be the actually guy,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to here. When they build a data
Speaker 1: center somewhere, the jobs come in from the construction of
Speaker 1: the data center, and then as far as big buildings go,
Speaker 1: I think a data center probably has the fewest employees
Speaker 1: you could ever have. I mean compared to the size
Speaker 1: of them. Sure, yeah, there's a big giant building that
Speaker 1: just kind of runs, and you've got a.
Speaker 2: Couple of high paid people.
Speaker 1: But all of this happens at the expense of so
Speaker 1: many other people in the neighborhood. And this one particular
Speaker 1: story has really got my attention, So stick with me
Speaker 1: here on this because this happened in Georgia, and to me,
Speaker 1: one of the best things that you can seek out
Speaker 1: in life is to be a homeowner and to have
Speaker 1: some pride in your own place and to pass along
Speaker 1: some generational wealth, hopefully to your family members and then
Speaker 1: on down the line, and really owning a home and
Speaker 1: homeownership is the best way to make sure that your
Speaker 1: kids do well after you, and their kids after them,
Speaker 1: And it really can push you up out of poverty
Speaker 1: if you are the first one in your family to
Speaker 1: achieve that. So I think it's great, I think it's American,
Speaker 1: and I wish for everybody, even at a tough time,
Speaker 1: to do it. That you can get your own house someday.
Speaker 1: But imagine you get that house and you love it
Speaker 1: and it's yours, and you're paying for it, or maybe
Speaker 1: even have paid it off, and then the State of
Speaker 1: Georgia this case comes to you and says we'll be
Speaker 1: taking that house from you. Because that's exactly what has
Speaker 1: happened in this case. And just so you believe me,
Speaker 1: let me run some of the details from CBS News
Speaker 1: says Georgia families lose homes due to data centers and
Speaker 1: the family members that they interview on this it's just
Speaker 1: enough to make you think twice about it.
Speaker 12: Listen up here, you uners in Georgia are being given
Speaker 12: an ultimatum to sell their homes or the state will
Speaker 12: get this take it to make way for AI data centers.
Speaker 12: Who's correspondent Skyler Henry has more.
Speaker 1: I'm a single mom. I worked hard for everything. How
Speaker 1: do you put a.
Speaker 13: Price on a home you never intended to sell one?
Speaker 13: Filled with me, You're decades of memories.
Speaker 14: I think I was five or six when this was built.
Speaker 1: The yard where you buried your pets, okay, like these
Speaker 1: people have lived there for a while as kids, they
Speaker 1: were there. There's a pet to show the pets. They
Speaker 1: showed the vie to show all the pets. See there's
Speaker 1: five of them. I know I can see they're buried
Speaker 1: in the pet cemetery, and the little kids are out here,
Speaker 1: they're sad. What's happening here is a little thing that
Speaker 1: you might hear of called eminent domain. Now, I will
Speaker 1: very quickly explain to you if you don't know what
Speaker 1: eminent domain is. This is something that county city states
Speaker 1: usually can use to get somebody to be forced to
Speaker 1: leave their homes and property if it is in the
Speaker 1: public interest that something else go in that space. Usually
Speaker 1: it's for moving around water or I mean even it
Speaker 1: could be oil. Usually they don't do that, though. Highways
Speaker 1: is probably the most common reason. You got an interstate
Speaker 1: that's going to go through and it's going to help
Speaker 1: so many people out, But there's a person's home that's
Speaker 1: in the way, and through eminent domain, they just take
Speaker 1: that person's home from them. And this is what they're
Speaker 1: trying to use here, eminent domain to take these people's home.
Speaker 2: And here's why this is happening.
Speaker 13: The greenhouse that fed your family. When you talk about
Speaker 13: what being on this property means to you, Yeah, right,
Speaker 13: it's y'alls.
Speaker 14: It's ours, she's crime family. We belong here.
Speaker 13: But Anthley Brown's childhood home likely won't be here much longer.
Speaker 13: That's because the state's largest utility, Georgia Power, says it
Speaker 13: needs the area to make way for a thirty five
Speaker 13: mile long transmission line. Georgia Power has already happened for
Speaker 13: as long as Ansley's mother has owned this problem.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm a stop right here. They show the property here,
Speaker 1: and as they're walking along and on one side, there
Speaker 1: already is a huge, huge stretch of land with massive
Speaker 1: power lines. Next to those massive power lines, which do
Speaker 1: god knows what to your kids' brains, there's a massive
Speaker 1: hedge that this family has built so that they don't
Speaker 1: have to look at them. And then they have their
Speaker 1: house and their property. But that's not enough. That's not
Speaker 1: enough room because now there's a data center that they're
Speaker 1: trying to move into this area in Georgia. The data
Speaker 1: center needs more power, they need more power lines, and
Speaker 1: they need these people. They need their property. They must
Speaker 1: take it. And that's what's happening own this property. It's
Speaker 1: just beyond the tree line.
Speaker 13: Now with the expansion of this latest project, they're looking
Speaker 13: to take the two and a half acres the house
Speaker 13: sits on. Georgia Power says increasing demands has outpaced the
Speaker 13: capacity of its existing grid, and building a new transmission
Speaker 13: line requires acquiring more than three hundred parcels of land,
Speaker 13: including residential properties.
Speaker 2: So it's not just them.
Speaker 1: Other people are going to have their homes taken away
Speaker 1: from them so that they can have even more room
Speaker 1: to have even more big power lines. You might say, well, Sean,
Speaker 1: just like the roads and the interstates you were talking
Speaker 1: about are a public good and it benefits everybody, so
Speaker 1: will these power lines. But the main reason that they
Speaker 1: want to build up this area with these new power
Speaker 1: lines and they want to take these people's home. They
Speaker 1: are going to take these people's home in this particular
Speaker 1: case is because of the data center. And they even say.
Speaker 13: That here, did your mom tell you she wanted for
Speaker 13: this property.
Speaker 14: To be generational wealth? True, generational wealth was the idea,
Speaker 14: and now it's being stripped from us.
Speaker 13: Georgie Ruder estimates seventy to eighty percent of the power
Speaker 13: on this new line is expected to help serve data centers.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, Okay, all of this is being built seventy
Speaker 1: to eighty percent of the power from what they're going
Speaker 1: to do. They're taking these people's homes away to build
Speaker 1: this seventy to eighty percent of that power is for
Speaker 1: data centers. That's it. That's it is to make AI
Speaker 1: videos and to run chat GPTs and to run AI
Speaker 1: and to run big data centers. And as if they
Speaker 1: don't have enough of those already seventy to eighty percent
Speaker 1: of the power that's causing them to do this. That
Speaker 1: there's the reason why these people are going to lose
Speaker 1: their house is from those data centers. That's not good,
Speaker 1: It says.
Speaker 13: The remaining time, twenty to thirty percent of power will
Speaker 13: serve the state's growing residential and commercial demand.
Speaker 1: Georgia Power told us that they feel as if they've
Speaker 1: done this process responsibly.
Speaker 2: What would you say to that.
Speaker 14: I disagree. You can't tear down thirty five miles of
Speaker 14: rural Georgia and it not hurts something or somebody true
Speaker 14: to say that you're doing it in the name of
Speaker 14: data centers is a slap in the face to us,
Speaker 14: our community, our animals.
Speaker 13: Brown's mother recently came to an agreement with Georgia Power
Speaker 13: to sell Brown says if she didn't, the utility could
Speaker 13: have sought to acquire her property through eminent domain.
Speaker 1: So they go to her and they're like, we're going
Speaker 1: to take it, you know, we're going to take it,
Speaker 1: and she.
Speaker 2: Goes, no, I don't want to go.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the best way to give you, And they
Speaker 1: give her an offer that was just above appraisal, which,
Speaker 1: by the way.
Speaker 2: Is not good. That is not good. Oh that sucks.
Speaker 1: When they come to you and say, hey, we want
Speaker 1: your property eminent domain. At the very least, you better
Speaker 1: ten x theF value on that house. At the very
Speaker 1: very very least, you better make those people independently wealthy,
Speaker 1: because you're building it to make your company wealthy.
Speaker 2: So the individuals, the people.
Speaker 1: I care way more about people than I do companies,
Speaker 1: by the way, right, and the individual people who are
Speaker 1: impacted by this should be compensated in a Scrooge McDuck fashion,
Speaker 1: all right, they should be lit up with so much cash.
Speaker 2: But they don't even do that. They don't even do that.
Speaker 13: Okay, legal process that allows private property to be taken
Speaker 13: with compensation for projects determined to serve a public.
Speaker 15: Purpose, all Power Generations starts suwhere at Polly.
Speaker 1: Love It is a Georgia Power spokesperson. Good luck.
Speaker 16: Domain is always, you know, a last resort for us,
Speaker 16: and it's something we never want to do to us.
Speaker 1: You know, one of the craziest things about this is
Speaker 1: this is all for the only utility that you can't
Speaker 1: even bargain shop. This is all for the only utility
Speaker 1: on the face of the planet that is in a
Speaker 1: napolistic enterprise that is not a free market existing structure
Speaker 1: at all. This is the one thing in your life
Speaker 1: that goes up and up and up and up and up.
Speaker 1: And when your power bill goes up so far, it's
Speaker 1: not like you could be like, well, joke's on you.
Speaker 1: The other power bill has a better per kilowatt hour
Speaker 1: deal and I'm going to go over to them. That's
Speaker 1: that's not a thing. So the power companies just get
Speaker 1: to charge us whatever they want. They charge us out
Speaker 1: the all the sides of your body. And when they
Speaker 1: do that, then they come into families like this and
Speaker 1: they're like, wow, we need this, we have to make
Speaker 1: this happen. This is so so wrong to me. It's
Speaker 1: just like, on its face, absolutely wrong. And if they're
Speaker 1: for this family, if.
Speaker 5: There weren't competing power companies, would there just be like
Speaker 5: two or three times as much land. That's just like
Speaker 5: that that stretch we saw that was just power lines.
Speaker 1: Couldn't they tell them, like, you guys use the same infrastructure,
Speaker 1: but at least it's have some competition.
Speaker 2: Here in the world of power.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, Josh exactly. And for me, I go
Speaker 1: I cannot wait until solar has the breakthrough that people
Speaker 1: have been pretending it's having, Like until you can get
Speaker 1: some unbreakable panels that are small and generate so much
Speaker 1: power that any house would be able to off the
Speaker 1: sunlight alone, power themselves and free themselves from the grid.
Speaker 1: We're going to be stuck under the boot of these lunatics, now,
Speaker 1: that's what's happening.
Speaker 5: Nothing's unbreakable, but the solar setups they've gotten now are
Speaker 5: pretty solid.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean for my house, I don't think I
Speaker 1: could actually do it. I don't think I would have
Speaker 1: to have a whole lot of power walls. And we're
Speaker 1: not there. I think we need a more efficient breakthrough.
Speaker 1: And somebody says it's getting closer constantly.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: But I can't wait until we have that breakthrough where
Speaker 1: we do get there and all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: power company sees their customers dropping, dwindling, going away because
Speaker 1: they have no competition. That is anti American. That is
Speaker 1: literally anti American to have no competition at all, no
Speaker 1: free market, no nothing. You just pay whatever they ask
Speaker 1: you to pay. And then if your house is in
Speaker 1: the way and somebody wants a big data center to
Speaker 1: hire eleven people or something, then you end up in
Speaker 1: a position where they're going to take your house because
Speaker 1: they need it. You don't need it, they need it, right,
Speaker 1: that's crazy to me. Let me know what you think,
Speaker 1: sena dispatcher over the news Junki dot com or email
Speaker 1: tips tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. Real quickly be
Speaker 1: seeing what else she says here in this story, because
Speaker 1: there's another piece of informationation that I think's important.
Speaker 14: It's literally a billion dollar company stealing land from smaller people,
Speaker 14: people who can't fight back. We don't have the money
Speaker 14: to fight Georgia Power.
Speaker 13: So that's why a few months it does. Msley took
Speaker 13: her story to TikTok.
Speaker 14: My childhood home is being taken by Georgia Power.
Speaker 13: She began sharing stories of its in similar situations.
Speaker 1: What is it taking from her? Look behind me, it's
Speaker 1: taking this entire backyard.
Speaker 13: What do you say to someone who will push back
Speaker 13: on any sort of.
Speaker 2: Offer that's as the power company.
Speaker 13: The price tag can't replace memories.
Speaker 16: Oh gosh, you know it almost makes me emotional because
Speaker 16: I have.
Speaker 2: Those reason not enough to not take their house.
Speaker 1: See our lady, don't even try to lie there. I
Speaker 1: tell you, I cry each morning into my golden bowl
Speaker 1: of cereal as I think about this, and I.
Speaker 16: Get how deeply personal people's homes are.
Speaker 8: I would just say that.
Speaker 16: We see you when we hear you, and we.
Speaker 1: Want God and we want to see you.
Speaker 2: Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1: Okay, what in the patronizing? Oh my god, we see
Speaker 1: you and we hear you. Now, if you don't mind
Speaker 1: pack up all of your family's belongings, here's a pittance
Speaker 1: of a paycheck for you and be on your way. Please.
Speaker 1: We need to get the power to the data sets to.
Speaker 16: Be respectful and transparent, and that is going to ultimately
Speaker 16: benefit you.
Speaker 1: But he isn't by that.
Speaker 13: While she knows it's too late to save her home,
Speaker 13: she says she doesn't want to see this happen to
Speaker 13: anyone else.
Speaker 14: My mom wants an apology. She wants an apology from
Speaker 14: Georgia Power.
Speaker 1: Good luck. That's it, two words, and it's because of
Speaker 1: how she feels as if she's been.
Speaker 2: Treated Yeah yeah, I mean.
Speaker 14: For an entire year they have bellied her and there
Speaker 14: is no sorry.
Speaker 1: So that's what we want.
Speaker 14: We want an apology from Georgia Power.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not going to do it. No shot, no shot.
Speaker 1: The lady is very upset though. She sees you, she
Speaker 1: hears you seeming like, can you look up the thing
Speaker 1: that was the memories to look up Project Tango? Because
Speaker 1: I know in Palm Beach County, Florida, they were voting
Speaker 1: this morning on this and that's been controversial too. This
Speaker 1: AI data center near Arden that they were going to
Speaker 1: be putting in and there was a vote this morning
Speaker 1: on this, and the locals have been in flames. Man,
Speaker 1: they've been very, very very angry about this, as so
Speaker 1: many other people have, because it becomes simple. They want
Speaker 1: to take away your homes to power the data centers.
Speaker 1: The data centers don't provide that many jobs at all,
Speaker 1: and then all of it is so Josh can have
Speaker 1: videos like this. Does Josh really need this video?
Speaker 9: You need?
Speaker 1: Tony Soprano's got the cool AI song. I feel like
Speaker 1: this might not be AI. I mean there's AI going
Speaker 1: on because Tony soprano is dancing.
Speaker 2: That's that is that is Godden when he was alive.
Speaker 2: I think he I don't know if he danced in
Speaker 2: the sopranos.
Speaker 1: You're right.
Speaker 2: He was in other things though.
Speaker 1: But he always looked like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It feels like this was generated by a by a plan.
Speaker 1: Now people are changing their minds now in chat. Wait,
Speaker 1: this is a this is why they're taking her house. Everybody,
Speaker 1: you can't all right, I'll stop it right there. We'll
Speaker 1: just go ahead and hit the stop button. Tell me
Speaker 1: what you think about that. I think it's just it's crazy.
Speaker 1: If these places are moving into these neighborhoods, you're going
Speaker 1: to try to take somebody's house away from them, you
Speaker 1: should make them incredibly wealthy, because that's the only way
Speaker 1: this approaches anything even remotely close to fair. You're not there,
Speaker 1: you're not close to there. You can't see there from
Speaker 1: around the corner where you're at. These power companies, with
Speaker 1: no competition are just doing whatever they want to run,
Speaker 1: these data companies that are then funneling all the money
Speaker 1: to California in the Bay Area, hiring like a dozen
Speaker 1: people or so, and then driving up everybody else's power bill,
Speaker 1: and then they wonder afterwards why somebody might not want
Speaker 1: a data center in their backyard. I think it's becoming
Speaker 1: kind of obvious, at least to me. Let me know
Speaker 1: what you think. We'll take a quick break. When we
Speaker 1: come back, we'll get into the audio investigation.
Speaker 2: I talked about having done that yet.
Speaker 1: We got to pick a side that we're gonna do
Speaker 1: probably at the top of the hour. It's a good
Speaker 1: one today. It's a spicy one. I'm ready for that.
Speaker 1: It's coming up next on the news junkie. I saw
Speaker 1: this story and I was like, were they were they
Speaker 1: considering killing that bison that flung the old man up
Speaker 1: in the air? They were they were going to kill
Speaker 1: that bison that flung old man River up in the air.
Speaker 1: I don't even feel like the guy who got flung
Speaker 1: in the air by the bison would want the bison
Speaker 1: to be killed. He was a nice guy. He was
Speaker 1: cool about it. He was joking. Yeah, he was having
Speaker 1: a good time. He seems to be okay with everything.
Speaker 1: He was worried more about whether his grandson was okay.
Speaker 1: Nice guy and a very very viral video. Now, if
Speaker 1: you haven't seen this. There's these people at yellow There
Speaker 1: was a bison that was having a rough day, and
Speaker 1: the bison goes over and starts chasing this old guy around.
Speaker 1: He's running around with his gray beard like Scooby Doo,
Speaker 1: you know, and then next thing you know, the bison
Speaker 1: whips him up into the air. And everybody's seen, or
Speaker 1: at least most people have seen this viral video as
Speaker 1: of now. But they were talking about killing the thing, like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's coming to contact with a human and now we've
Speaker 1: got to kill this bison. And I guess officials have
Speaker 1: changed their minds on this or said they're not going
Speaker 1: to take any action about this particular animal. And I
Speaker 1: would say you should take that further because this happens
Speaker 1: from time to time. Idiots go to Yellowstone and then
Speaker 1: they get too close to the animals and then the
Speaker 1: animals do something and then the people are like, how
Speaker 1: could this happen?
Speaker 2: It's so unsafe here.
Speaker 1: And I always think to myself, the bison is gonna
Speaker 1: bison no matter what. That's what they're going to do.
Speaker 1: The bison will act like a bison because it is
Speaker 1: a bison. Bison's flip things up in the air. The
Speaker 1: humans who get too close to the bison are the
Speaker 1: problem we are in their territory. But in this case,
Speaker 1: like this guy wasn't what would you say, this guy
Speaker 1: was too close to the bison. He wasn't even like
Speaker 1: irritating it or anything. I don't think this is a
Speaker 1: tough one ceiling because while I don't think he necessarily
Speaker 1: did anything wrong, and he was definitely trying to keep
Speaker 1: his distance, it's still not the bison's fault because it's
Speaker 1: not a zoo and this is the wild animal out
Speaker 1: wild animally. So instead of saying it's somebody's fault, I
Speaker 1: guess I would say it just is a risk of
Speaker 1: being that close to these animals. And if we respond
Speaker 1: to this the way we do with so many other things,
Speaker 1: where we're like an alligator killed a kid, we're gonna
Speaker 1: kill the alligator or shark like Jaws, We're gonna go
Speaker 1: out there and kill the animal that did this.
Speaker 2: But they have said they're not going to do it.
Speaker 1: Carl McDaniel, sixty five, of Washington State, was attacked by
Speaker 1: this agitated bison in the National Park around eight thirty pm.
Speaker 1: Oh man, we need we need to change that Daylight
Speaker 1: Saving time. If that was still still bright out, I
Speaker 1: thought it was morning time. Yeah, I looked like it
Speaker 1: was in the middle of the day. But they're saying
Speaker 1: it was eight thirty PM when that happened. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody say it was eight one hundred yards away.
Speaker 1: He was far enough away. But the animal is going
Speaker 1: to do what it's going to do. You're not in
Speaker 1: a zoo.
Speaker 2: That's the risk.
Speaker 1: If you want to get close to the wild, sometimes
Speaker 1: the wild gets close to you.
Speaker 2: That's just how it goes.
Speaker 1: All right, here's the audio that a lot of people
Speaker 1: are talking about online. I want to examine this quickly
Speaker 1: and move on because you know, I don't want to
Speaker 1: I don't want to hang out in this childish.
Speaker 2: World too long. But we we will go in for
Speaker 2: a second.
Speaker 1: There is a moment now that is going viral from
Speaker 1: c Span two. Josh is an avid watcher of sea
Speaker 1: Span two. Big fan, can't stop tuning in to the
Speaker 1: sea Span action. I'm a Spanner, That's what we call ourselves.
Speaker 1: You have Zuck Schumer want nerdo who watches se Span
Speaker 1: two enough that like just tips off people when interesting
Speaker 1: stuff happens.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I always wonder like how anything goes viral from
Speaker 5: C SPAN two.
Speaker 1: I've been in people's houses before where they were most
Speaker 1: of the older people, and they would have C Span
Speaker 1: on and they'd always be so mad. Oh God, would
Speaker 1: they be mad the channel? No, because they would watch
Speaker 1: this and it would just make them mad. Why don't
Speaker 1: you watch something else? But they would go for it.
Speaker 1: Here's Chuck Schumer on c Span two. I'm gonna enhance
Speaker 1: the audio. That just means I'm gonna turn it up
Speaker 1: and enhance. You hear what you hear? He was talking
Speaker 1: about immigration enforcement. This is Chuck Schumer of New York,
Speaker 1: the minority leader.
Speaker 17: Let's listen in, and we need a complete investigation that's
Speaker 17: independent now on Iran and the NDAA when all the
Speaker 17: time administration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I never know what's what with these audio clips?
Speaker 1: Did that sound like gas to me?
Speaker 2: It did?
Speaker 1: It sounded a little bit like somebody farted it did?
Speaker 1: It sounded a little little bit like that. The thing
Speaker 1: that makes me think that there's something to this clip
Speaker 1: is listen again, and Chuck Schumer seems to have a
Speaker 1: tiny giggle.
Speaker 17: And we need a complete investigation that's independent now on
Speaker 17: Iran and the NDAA. When all the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: I think he laughed because he knew. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: the microphone just picked up that noise that came out.
Speaker 6: Of my body, like shifted his body a little weird
Speaker 6: right when it happened too, It's.
Speaker 1: Like it was a little tense up, a little bit
Speaker 1: of a tense up moment, and then just a little smart.
Speaker 17: Independent now on Iran and the NDAA when all the
Speaker 17: Trump administration.
Speaker 1: He definitely was reacting to it.
Speaker 2: He was reacting to it, for sure.
Speaker 5: I wonder like because usually you would think in rooms
Speaker 5: like that, the microphones aren't aren't aren't great, you know,
Speaker 5: they're not. They're not picking up very well, So for
Speaker 5: them to pick up a fart, it would have to
Speaker 5: be pretty, uh, it would be a pretty cranked up.
Speaker 1: He's got a wireless mic on him, I think, right,
Speaker 1: like on his lapel. He's got like a wireless mic
Speaker 1: instead of one of those courtroom ones like a goose
Speaker 1: one right right. It could be something to run through
Speaker 1: his jacket, but it sounded farty to me. I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened, but he certainly sounded like like something
Speaker 1: went down there there. He is Chuck Schumer, they're hard
Speaker 1: at work there, possibly soon passing the daylight saving time issue.
Speaker 5: The other option is that somebody else who's mic farted
Speaker 5: and he was just reacting to them, and that what's
Speaker 5: unfortunate for Chuck.
Speaker 1: You got a point in your finger at them. Man.
Speaker 5: What's unfortunate for Chuck Schumer is that you know that
Speaker 5: person was not on the CA camera. There's only one
Speaker 5: person on the camera. I think you have to address it.
Speaker 5: I think if that could be if you have control
Speaker 5: of your MIC in a room like that and you
Speaker 5: know you're not on the camera, like right now, I
Speaker 5: just switched to Sean's camera, yeah, and then ripped one
Speaker 5: in my MICROSPFTE.
Speaker 1: I would say immediately, WHOA that was not me. I
Speaker 1: would get out in front of that. I wouldn't let
Speaker 1: people be smirch my name, my good name, or what's
Speaker 1: left of it.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't let them do that to me.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: Quickly, there was somebody saying that in New York they
Speaker 1: just told the AI companies that they could not build
Speaker 1: any data centers for like a year. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the Governor of New York to talk about. Here they go,
Speaker 1: I were on a AI and done so dramatically for
Speaker 1: fears of job loss, but also because of costs, noise
Speaker 1: and the like.
Speaker 2: How do you walk that typroe.
Speaker 4: I put a challenge out to these AI companies, those
Speaker 4: that are possibly who created the possibility of literally changing
Speaker 4: civilization with artificial intelligence. They have to be able to
Speaker 4: figure out how to consume less power, how to consume
Speaker 4: less water, how to be disruptive. I challenge them to
Speaker 4: come up with this solution, or there will be a
Speaker 4: backlash against some.
Speaker 1: People are there will be what is happening not.
Speaker 4: Just in their communities, but the whole disruptive effect of AI.
Speaker 4: Talk to any young person who maybe studied coding and
Speaker 4: computer science. We're told you always have a job if
Speaker 4: you go into the STEM fields. True, and they're the
Speaker 4: ones being told, I'm sorry, your job is being replaced
Speaker 4: by AI.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The brutal thing about this, and what makes it
Speaker 1: maybe one of the few bipartisan issues of this moment,
Speaker 1: is that it's such a tough battle. Like they said, jobs,
Speaker 1: all right, The AI that runs in these data centers,
Speaker 1: many of them, the AI is without a doubt already
Speaker 1: putting people out of work and going to put everyone
Speaker 1: out of work and it's going to literally at some
Speaker 1: point get rid of the idea of work that we
Speaker 1: all know and some of us don't love so much. Right,
Speaker 1: that is going to be what happens is the end
Speaker 1: result of AIS. I see this all developing, So it's
Speaker 1: going to kill jobs in the short term and really
Speaker 1: kill jobs in the long term. That's the facility that
Speaker 1: you're building, a facility that replaces humans with ones and zeros,
Speaker 1: So you're making a decision there. Then it costs a
Speaker 1: lot to build these places, and a lot of times
Speaker 1: the locals have to chip in something or give tax breaks. Right,
Speaker 1: That's another thing. They also make a lot of noise.
Speaker 1: We had this one story I played where these people
Speaker 1: were having to deal with the unbearable noise across the
Speaker 1: street from where they were.
Speaker 5: That's one of the things they're working on with Project
Speaker 5: Tango right now is trying to figure out because they
Speaker 5: have a decibel limit, they say they're going to be
Speaker 5: way below it. But they also the developers had submitted
Speaker 5: new plans that moved some of that stuff farther away
Speaker 5: from neighborhoods and schools, and I think last I checked,
Speaker 5: they were on some sort of break and they haven't
Speaker 5: done the final vote yet.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll let you know when we hear more about
Speaker 1: But there's been a lot of people talking about this
Speaker 1: and I just think they're behind the eight ball on this.
Speaker 1: They really are, because they don't have a lot of
Speaker 1: good they're bringing with the bad.
Speaker 2: But you tell me what you think. We'll get to
Speaker 2: that just a bit.
Speaker 1: And the hot sheet it's coming up next in the
Speaker 1: news junkie. There's still people enough of the soccer stuff,
Speaker 1: enough of the World Cup stuff. Just let yourself have
Speaker 1: a little fun, Okay, just enjoy yourself. It's going to
Speaker 1: be really dramatic in the next round here when England
Speaker 1: plays Argentina. They hate each other. Argentina was burning British flags.
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of drama going on. They hate each
Speaker 1: other over the Falkland Islands. You can look at that
Speaker 1: Wikipedia page later when you're going to the bathroom, and
Speaker 1: they have a long rivalry. And I asked that the
Speaker 1: Feds have said this is the soccer match at the
Speaker 1: World Cup they're most worried about, like they think there
Speaker 1: could be a little bit of blood at this soccer match.
Speaker 1: So just enjoy yourself, all right, enjoy the World Cup
Speaker 1: and the soccer will go away. And you even have
Speaker 1: football coming up, right, Josh, isn't football coming up in August?
Speaker 1: Is August September? Okay, there's it's in the next couple
Speaker 1: of months. You'll be back to the world of American
Speaker 1: football before you know it. Okay, right now, let's get
Speaker 1: into it. Let's do the hot sheets.
Speaker 2: New but not like important news.
Speaker 1: That's again to reporting on the planet, top stories from
Speaker 1: the people on your screens, and then speakers.
Speaker 2: Are on the hot sheet with Sea Lane.
Speaker 5: That's right, the top five stories in the nonsense news
Speaker 5: brought to you by that mortgage guy down and have
Speaker 5: I got a career opportunity for you?
Speaker 1: Guys?
Speaker 18: Uh?
Speaker 5: You know if you Josh, you've hosted like trivia night
Speaker 5: and stuff before?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: That done that at a couple of bars. Did you fanciers?
Speaker 5: Did you write the questions and stuff?
Speaker 17: No?
Speaker 1: They were provided for me.
Speaker 2: Oh you're out.
Speaker 1: Sorry, damn it, I'm stupid. How about Sean? Do you
Speaker 1: think you would be good at writing that kind of
Speaker 1: a question and answer or perhaps an answer and question
Speaker 1: style game. I have to tell you, Celane, I went
Speaker 1: to a place last night that had trivia and the
Speaker 1: people were complaining about every single question, so I I
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to get involved in this.
Speaker 2: There's more drama than I thought there would be.
Speaker 5: Well, if you think you're up to the task. For
Speaker 5: the very first time ever, this show right here is
Speaker 5: hiring writers. That is correct for me, really is for
Speaker 5: the time. Good call, see you're already there. For the
Speaker 5: first time in the history of the popular game show,
Speaker 5: Jeopardy opened a tiring process to the public at large,
Speaker 5: inviting anyone willing and able to be its next writer
Speaker 5: to apply as long as they pass a rigorous recruitment
Speaker 5: process befitting a TV show of its caliber. Candidates first
Speaker 5: have to complete the same online test as perspective contestants,
Speaker 5: which involves answering fifty clues. Then you have to submit
Speaker 5: twelve written samples of potential Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy rounds,
Speaker 5: and then three samples of the notoriously difficult final Jeopardy clue.
Speaker 5: And don't whatever you do, don't use the word trivia
Speaker 5: in your application and your cover letter in any of
Speaker 5: that stuff. They don't like the word trivia around there,
Speaker 5: So it's sort of like in The Walking Dead. I
Speaker 5: think they weren't allowed to say zombies, walkers.
Speaker 1: Do they see themselves at Jeopardy as above trivia?
Speaker 5: Yes, it says anyone who used the word trivia in
Speaker 5: their application as a black mark against the candidates. We
Speaker 5: do not use the word trivia at Jeopardy. We don't
Speaker 5: regard what we write as trivial. We regard this as
Speaker 5: the subjects, the facts, the things that an elite modern
Speaker 5: American should know. You could be one of the writers
Speaker 5: of They said last year they put twenty five thousand,
Speaker 5: six and eighty seven clues on the air between all
Speaker 5: the different iterations of Jeopardy, Celebrity, college Masters, pop culture,
Speaker 5: all the spin offs, and of course the normal programs.
Speaker 5: So if you think you've got what it takes, Jeopardy
Speaker 5: is hiring. Did either of you watch the Beauty on FX?
Speaker 5: I know we talked about it maybe a little bit. Yes,
Speaker 5: it is.
Speaker 1: No, I did. It was very through the plot of
Speaker 1: that one again because I think I did watch it. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So you know how like everybody in our society when
Speaker 5: you talk about all that person using the shot, they're
Speaker 5: getting the shot. Yeah, they're talking about like glp ones.
Speaker 5: This one is more like it's like a beauty shot.
Speaker 1: That makes you hot.
Speaker 5: The weird part about Ashton Kutcher being in this was
Speaker 5: because it it had a really tight similarity to the
Speaker 5: Demi Moore movie The Substance.
Speaker 1: Right it did.
Speaker 2: Actually, I know what you're talking about now and so, but.
Speaker 5: This was a it was a scripted series where you
Speaker 5: got this shot to make you beautiful, but then there
Speaker 5: were some side effects that made you just a killer
Speaker 5: that was unstoppable, and it was this big virus and
Speaker 5: all this stuff going on. They say they haven't canceled it,
Speaker 5: but the reporting on it is that it's on pause,
Speaker 5: and the options on the cast of Ryan Murphy and
Speaker 5: Matthew Hodgins series based on a comic book by Jeremy
Speaker 5: Hohane and Jason A.
Speaker 2: Hurley have lapsed, like their.
Speaker 5: Contracts have been released, So they're not saying FX hasn't
Speaker 5: like full on canceled the series yet and they're still
Speaker 5: leaving it up in the air. But if you were
Speaker 5: a fan of The Beauty, do not hold your breath
Speaker 5: on seeing any more episodes of it, at least for now,
Speaker 5: because it doesn't seem like we're gonna see much Beauty anytime.
Speaker 1: So it was a good show.
Speaker 5: I liked watching it, and some of the characters are
Speaker 5: really fun and I hope it comes back, but.
Speaker 1: Who will know?
Speaker 5: Who knows if I'll watch it, because I won't remember
Speaker 5: a damn thing that happened, and you have to get
Speaker 5: like a YouTube recap.
Speaker 1: I do remember. The brutal part of it was some
Speaker 1: people had to play the actors before they took the
Speaker 1: shot that made him really sexy. Yes, so some people
Speaker 1: had to play like the ugly version of the character,
Speaker 1: which I thought was a little mean.
Speaker 5: One of the arguments in the the story there was like, well,
Speaker 5: you know, if they end up renewing some of these contracts,
Speaker 5: some of the people might be already out because their
Speaker 5: character got beautiful and they're not sucks.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of sorry, you're you're the ugly version. Man.
Speaker 5: We'll call you back when we need a flashback scene.
Speaker 5: Yeah this guy right here? Ah did hey Diddy?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, Diddy has.
Speaker 5: Just unloaded one of his crown jewel properties on Miami's
Speaker 5: Star Island for a whopping fifty five million dollars, the
Speaker 5: waterfront property at one West Star Island. If you pull
Speaker 5: this up Sean on TMZ or just search for like
Speaker 5: Diddy Star Island. It was purchased by a real estate company,
Speaker 5: a holding company based in Newport for New News, Virginia.
Speaker 1: According to the Real Deal.
Speaker 5: The publication said the Giant sale appears to be an
Speaker 5: off market deal, with the buyer financing the purchase with
Speaker 5: an eighteen point five million dollar bank mortgage. And if
Speaker 5: you if you see the property, that's the one it
Speaker 5: is the one I saw. It's a pretty big property,
Speaker 5: fifty five million bucks down in Miami.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The one next to it, that's one West Star Island,
Speaker 5: two West Star Island or two Star Island is still
Speaker 5: owned by Diddy, and it's so much bigger.
Speaker 1: So it sounds weird because one Star Island and two
Speaker 1: Star Islands sound kind of bad in a way.
Speaker 5: It sounds like you're raiding the islands and like the
Speaker 5: five Star Island is.
Speaker 1: Where you really want. One Star Island do not recommend.
Speaker 5: Diddy, who is currently serving the four plus year sentence
Speaker 5: in federal prison, had originally bought the nearly eight thousand
Speaker 5: square foot property from singer Gloria Stefan, and I take
Speaker 5: issue with the word in here. Singer Gloria Stefan and
Speaker 5: her husband Emilio mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: It's Emilio. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, come on into the singer Gloria and her
Speaker 5: husband Emilio.
Speaker 2: The Zoomers don't know.
Speaker 1: They have no.
Speaker 2: He hasn't been in a movie since the eighties, so he.
Speaker 5: Was in some of the maybe not movies, but he
Speaker 5: was in the Mighty Ducks reboot.
Speaker 6: That's the right Emilio. Yeah, are you making up? And
Speaker 6: Estefans again? Classic you No, I thought he was married
Speaker 6: to Gloria Stefanut Rocket World, Emilio Estefan from Miami Sound
Speaker 6: Machine Big Dog who's married.
Speaker 1: So she's married to Emilio Stefan. That's why she's Gloria
Speaker 1: Estefan and he's in the sound Machine band and not
Speaker 1: related to the has not been married since he was
Speaker 1: with Paul.
Speaker 5: He was married Paul Abdul I had the wrong singer.
Speaker 5: Wow shut it down anyway. He bought it from them,
Speaker 5: and there's a two story home with a guest house
Speaker 5: with six bedrooms, eight and a half bass, a pool
Speaker 5: in the spa, and probably some baby oil lying around.
Speaker 5: But whoever bought the property, you are still neighbors with Diddy,
Speaker 5: And I don't know if that's helped out your your
Speaker 5: selling price or your buying price or not, but onto
Speaker 5: other news that is hopefully more accurate, as is the norm.
Speaker 1: Star Wars fans.
Speaker 5: Some Star Wars fans have said their beloved creator George
Speaker 5: Lucas has gone to the dark side wrong because he has,
Speaker 5: in an interview now said that AI is the future
Speaker 5: and as we all know, AI is the absolute devil
Speaker 5: and it's not to be trusted. He was giving an
Speaker 5: interview with something called a rabbit's foot. That's not like
Speaker 5: something they used as a microphone. It was this is
Speaker 5: an actual pub location.
Speaker 1: All right, Is this this is like a known reviewing
Speaker 1: outlet or something or I don't know anything about a
Speaker 1: rabbit's foot?
Speaker 2: Okay, more more facts on the way, folks.
Speaker 5: Well, no, I'm not going to pretend to know anything,
Speaker 5: because I pretended to know about Emilia Estevez and I
Speaker 5: literally after that one up. The other kind of that
Speaker 5: worked out for me not so well. But they're saying
Speaker 5: a bunch of people are criticizing George Lucas, saying he's
Speaker 5: gone to the dark side because he said artificial intelligence
Speaker 5: means it's much easier to make movies, which a lot
Speaker 5: of people don't like. Over on the Hollywood side, today.
Speaker 5: It's very much like sitting here and saying, well, I
Speaker 5: believe the horse and Buggy is really where it's at.
Speaker 5: These cars they break down, they need gas, there's all
Speaker 5: kinds of problems with them, and pretty soon they'll be
Speaker 5: making them into.
Speaker 1: Tanks and then they'll be killing people. It's terrible. There's
Speaker 1: nothing you can do about it. It's progress. I said
Speaker 1: it would do a dark side. It was the very
Speaker 1: bleak of George Lucas and last but not least, and
Speaker 1: I thought this was kind of hilarious. People are really
Speaker 1: coming down on Alclwin for this video tribute he made
Speaker 1: to Sam Neil, in which it's a three minute video
Speaker 1: he talks about he mentioned Sam Neil up top and
Speaker 1: then I think they said he spent about two and
Speaker 1: a half to two and three quarter minutes talking about
Speaker 1: himself and all these people he's worked with. You have
Speaker 1: the Alec Baldkin clip. Just for a.
Speaker 2: Second, I do have this. I'll just play a bit
Speaker 2: of it here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see how.
Speaker 19: Stricken I was to learn of the death of Sam
Speaker 19: Neil when I did to Hunt for Red October we
Speaker 19: shot in eighty nine. It came out of nineteen ninety
Speaker 19: a long time ago, and that was probably my first
Speaker 19: big movie in terms of having a decent sized role,
Speaker 19: because I'd done Working Girl and Beetlejuice and things like that.
Speaker 1: Right next to me, he said, I was stricken to
Speaker 1: learn of the death of Sam Neil, and then it
Speaker 1: says about myself almost immediately makes a sharp left turn.
Speaker 1: Rather than reminiscing about Neil's warmth, talent or the time
Speaker 1: they spent working together, Baldwin embarks on what is essentially
Speaker 1: an extended director's commentary for The Hunt for Red October.
Speaker 1: He praises director John McTiernan, a fond recollection of meeting
Speaker 1: author Tom Clancy Earle, call of co stars including Sean Connery,
Speaker 1: Tim Curry, James Earl Jones, etc. A story about Ronald
Speaker 1: Gutman smoking while doing a Russian accent, even an impression
Speaker 1: of James Earl Jones makes an appearance for about two
Speaker 1: and a half minutes until he finishes with anyway, oh
Speaker 1: my God, my God, Sam Neil, my love to his family,
Speaker 1: and then he ends the video. Wow. So he's being.
Speaker 5: Blasted online for a very narcissistic eulogy of Sam Neil
Speaker 5: that barely mentions Sam Neil, Hey, if you have a
Speaker 5: mortgage rate or if you have a quote right now,
Speaker 5: because you're trying to get into that dream home and
Speaker 5: you haven't shopped it around, you're doing yourself a disservice. Friends,
Speaker 5: that mortgage guy Don wants to help you save that
Speaker 5: money if you haven't shopped the out. There's plenty of
Speaker 5: people who have told me I shopped around. I even
Speaker 5: did by due diligence and tried shopping around, and that
Speaker 5: mortgage guy got Don got me a better quote. So
Speaker 5: if you have a quote, go to the compare quote
Speaker 5: tab on his website, that mortgage guy down dot com.
Speaker 1: Stay put, folks, when we come back to pick a side,
Speaker 1: and this is a dramatic one, sparks flying. I want
Speaker 1: to see what you think about this because that is
Speaker 1: coming up next in the news. Junkie back by popular demand.
Speaker 1: Another pick aside, everybody, so brace yourself. And as you
Speaker 1: can see Josh and see Lane, this one is going
Speaker 1: to occur on a sidewalk. And this this is a
Speaker 1: heated pick aside. So let's do this thing. Dog, Yeah,
Speaker 1: pick a side. That's right, it's got it's got intense,
Speaker 1: it's gotten intense.
Speaker 2: Pick a side. This is like my old version.
Speaker 1: This is a sidewalk interaction. What let's watch this video.
Speaker 1: I've tried to do my best censor it here so
Speaker 1: it doesn't your ears. But this one was on a
Speaker 1: sidewalk where a man is walking his dogs and a
Speaker 1: woman is on a bicycle and she thinks he's taking
Speaker 1: up too much of the sidewalk, so they get into
Speaker 1: a fight.
Speaker 9: Here we go too nicely, I asked you nicely, and
Speaker 9: we're not.
Speaker 1: We're not doing that. We're not doing that. You don't
Speaker 1: you don't.
Speaker 9: You don't dictate where you walk now. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 9: you don't get to take the whole sidewalk. Bro, No
Speaker 9: you don't you Okay.
Speaker 1: You can see now she's on a bicycle, all right now.
Speaker 1: Some of you may have picked a side off already
Speaker 1: because bicycles don't belong on the sidewalk. True, you're supposed
Speaker 1: to be out on the road with the cars. She
Speaker 1: is on a bike. She's hounding this guy, no pun intended,
Speaker 1: because he's walking his dogs on the sidewalk. She thought
Speaker 1: he was taking up too much a room of the
Speaker 1: room on the sidewalk, and she couldn't get past him,
Speaker 1: so that's why she's so pissed off about this. But
Speaker 1: who's in the wrong. You gotta pick a side. Who's
Speaker 1: in the right, who's in the wrong here? Do you
Speaker 1: pick the bike lady or do you pick the guy
Speaker 1: who's out walking his dogs on the sidewalk. Let's go
Speaker 1: back in.
Speaker 9: Well, it doesn't matter if they have bike lanes or not.
Speaker 9: You're trying to be You're trying to be in and then.
Speaker 1: Did it again. I did it again. I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: and see. I used the AI censorship. I thought it'd
Speaker 1: be fine on this one.
Speaker 6: Is not taking jobs the dark side, all right?
Speaker 1: I want to I want to try to see if
Speaker 1: or should I just give up here and we'll do
Speaker 1: it in the next segment after Sea Line sensors it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to ruin the segment again with the
Speaker 1: censorship issue. I wonder should I just pause here and
Speaker 1: then we'll get back to it, or should I try
Speaker 1: and see if there's no more curse words that got missed.
Speaker 5: You could give it one more try, because we're almost
Speaker 5: up to full capacity here, okay, and then if it
Speaker 5: happens again just I mean after the Walk of Shame
Speaker 5: or something, Yes, if I for Emelio Stibus. You didn't
Speaker 5: even walk a shame for that though. I'm getting a
Speaker 5: lot of a lot of heat. Yeah, lot of heat.
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm in that train. Yeah, it's not
Speaker 5: that bad. All right, Let's let's try to keep going here.
Speaker 5: If there's another curse word that's missed, I'll stop. Sean's
Speaker 5: always playing with fire.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to. I thought that this was handled.
Speaker 1: I thought it was handled. If it's not, then I'll
Speaker 1: move past it to another story that I have that
Speaker 1: is an absolute gem, and we'll come back to this
Speaker 1: afterwards when Celine gives it the once over. All right,
Speaker 1: so he says, I hate both of them already. Okay,
Speaker 1: So this guy is walking his dogs on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1: She's trying to get through with their bike. That's what
Speaker 1: started the fight.
Speaker 5: She's on a bike. We don't because she is the
Speaker 5: one posting this. And I'm starting to see a trend
Speaker 5: in picasides. By the way, uh huh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: If you've already seen it, you may have already mentioned it.
Speaker 5: I'm starting to see a trend. There's a little correlation
Speaker 5: between the person who's in the wrong and the person
Speaker 5: who posts the video.
Speaker 1: Oh so you think that the person who recorded this,
Speaker 1: i e. The lady on the bike is the one
Speaker 1: who is in the Think of our last few pick asides.
Speaker 1: Think of our last few pick asides. Lady at Jersey Mike's. Yep,
Speaker 1: she was filming.
Speaker 5: She was terrible lady who wanted to or a guy
Speaker 5: that wanted to use the bathroom in the damn gas
Speaker 5: station that didn't pay for anything. Yeah, being annoying, terrible,
Speaker 5: true lady who was shaming the Amazon driver for being
Speaker 5: in her porta potty terrible, that's true.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is different, though, this could break the cycle.
Speaker 1: Here literally she's you know, she's on a bicycle, but
Speaker 1: here she goes. God, I don't even want to risk it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it anyways. If there's another errant curseword,
Speaker 1: I'll stop. I'll move to the next story that I
Speaker 1: know doesn't have curse words and it's a good one anyways,
Speaker 1: and then I'll apologize profusely. I'd rather not do that.
Speaker 1: I would rather not do that. So your hesitance is
Speaker 1: not having to apologize you have to. You don't care
Speaker 1: about there being another errant curseword in there? You just
Speaker 1: don't want to take the lumps. If there's another curse word,
Speaker 1: that means that the tool that I used didn't work
Speaker 1: and it's not safe, and I should have listened to
Speaker 1: it during one of the break and make your own
Speaker 1: tool code arena. I'm no tool is going to fix this,
Speaker 1: all right? Should I just watch? Why? Because you're not
Speaker 1: gonna do it yourself. Yes, I would do it myself,
Speaker 1: but it's easier for you to do it. You've got
Speaker 1: the set up in there. It makes it easier for
Speaker 1: you to do That's what I was talking about. They're
Speaker 1: talking over each other here. There's no way. There's not
Speaker 1: another curse word. This is zero percent. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: an F word on the way here.
Speaker 9: People, you don't have to scream. Why are you screaming?
Speaker 1: Because why are you being so nasty? Yeah?
Speaker 9: I was thinking it's recording you because you're being nasty.
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on, lady, don't don't don't give into his insults.
Speaker 2: You got me there, sir. You have to push back
Speaker 2: on that.
Speaker 1: Lady.
Speaker 2: You just don't go along with it.
Speaker 9: Because I'm ridding my bike. And I said, excuse me
Speaker 9: several time. I said excuse me, several time, and now, well,
Speaker 9: I'm not off. I'm gonna she's winning me over.
Speaker 1: I know this shouldn't impact me, but she's winning me
Speaker 1: over because she's kind. I'm gonna have.
Speaker 2: On to be clear.
Speaker 1: So far, I think that she's in the wrong because
Speaker 1: the bike should not be on the sidewalk.
Speaker 2: It should not be on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1: But it was a little bit funny what she just
Speaker 1: said there, and I will go a little further. I'll
Speaker 1: play the rest of this in a second and shut up.
Speaker 1: But the guy in question here, he has two dogs
Speaker 1: and other than bikes being on the sidewalk, which is
Speaker 1: quite annoying from time to time. The other thing is
Speaker 1: when there's other people on the sidewalk who aren't on
Speaker 1: bikes and they don't make room for you when it's
Speaker 1: time to pass. When you're walking a dog, you should
Speaker 1: push over to the right side of the road whoever
Speaker 1: you are, or the right side of the sidewalk wherever
Speaker 1: you are, and make room for the other person to
Speaker 1: be over to their right side of the sidewalk, and
Speaker 1: you should give them enough room to pass. One of
Speaker 1: the problems when people line up two by three by
Speaker 1: four and then they go down like an immovable object
Speaker 1: down the sidewalk. So if you're walking both your dogs
Speaker 1: and taking up the whole sidewalk even though she's on
Speaker 1: her bike, you could still be in the wrong too.
Speaker 1: You absolutely could. Well let's go back to him here.
Speaker 1: You're not you're not.
Speaker 9: You people are not gonna keep pushing us in our
Speaker 9: backs against the wall because you filled entitled weirdo. No,
Speaker 9: I'm not gonna stab you for what you're the You're
Speaker 9: being the aggressive one, and that's what you people do.
Speaker 9: You say that one flying around here, the aggressive one
Speaker 9: when you stuck your middle finger up at me and
Speaker 9: call me a bitch in racist slurs because I said,
Speaker 9: excuse me now I have to walk my bike behind you.
Speaker 9: If there was yes, thank you, I really appreciate your kindness.
Speaker 9: No for what? No, thank you? No your ghetto at
Speaker 9: cracker in your your dogs aren't even barking at me.
Speaker 1: Wh oh No?
Speaker 9: Did you need to train yourself trying yourself in the
Speaker 9: way you should go?
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, you've seen the interaction, you've made it.
Speaker 1: You're still uh you're still on her side. Uh, she's obnoxious, Yes,
Speaker 1: and she's like really having on the race stuff.
Speaker 5: She had one funny part of that, but it did
Speaker 5: not save the rest of her argument in my in
Speaker 5: my opinion, because no, she h.
Speaker 1: I don't know if.
Speaker 5: There was any point before she started recording in which
Speaker 5: she may have asked, like, hey, can I just walk
Speaker 5: my bike on through and keep going? That would have
Speaker 5: been the easiest thing to do, or I don't know,
Speaker 5: maybe head out into a bike lane temporarily to get
Speaker 5: around this guy and keep going, Like there's no need
Speaker 5: for this to be a major thing. There, don't use
Speaker 5: for this to be a fight. It just could be
Speaker 5: people sharing a sidewalk. I don't mind bicyclists being on
Speaker 5: the sidewalk. I know you're not supposed to be there.
Speaker 5: I know that's what bike lanes are for. I know
Speaker 5: all those things. I don't mind you using the sidewalk
Speaker 5: if you don't, don't act entitled to the sidewalk.
Speaker 1: But she's doing the whole dumb, loud and wrong kind
Speaker 1: of thing that I talk about sometimes where she's she
Speaker 1: shouldn't be on the sidewalk, and then she's being really obnoxious.
Speaker 5: And I'm calling him a racist about it, Like just
Speaker 5: because you say f you to somebody doesn't mean you
Speaker 5: care what color their skin is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then she was making fun of his dogs
Speaker 1: for not barking at her, which you would think would
Speaker 1: be in advancement.
Speaker 2: Josh, who do you picking this back and forth?
Speaker 1: The lady on the bicycle on the sidewalk or the
Speaker 1: guy walking his two dogs on the sidewalk.
Speaker 6: They're both kind of annoying. She dropped some funny lines.
Speaker 6: I think he is in the right here, though she
Speaker 6: easily could have rode around in the grass. And yeah,
Speaker 6: she was been on her way.
Speaker 1: She could have ended this before it started, but maybe
Speaker 1: she just wanted a video to begin with.
Speaker 2: What do you think pick a side?
Speaker 1: The guy walking his dogs on the sidewalk, the woman
Speaker 1: on the bike on the sidewalk. They hate each other,
Speaker 1: but one of them's got to be right and one
Speaker 1: of them's got to be wrong. Let us know what
Speaker 1: you think That one is going to get people fired up,
Speaker 1: because sidewalk battles over bicycles always do it. But that woman,
Speaker 1: she brought a lot else into it. Man, she she
Speaker 1: came in hot too. I can't play the beginning, can I? No? No?
Speaker 1: I want to? Though she brought it real fast, right
Speaker 1: right off the jump.
Speaker 2: But let us know what you think. She was being racist.
Speaker 1: Bonus called her stinking bitch. Yeah, Josh is such a peacemaker.
Speaker 1: He is that way, Yeah he is. Yeah, she said
Speaker 1: at the beginning, he said you stinking bitch, and that
Speaker 1: she's she went right along with it. I think not
Speaker 1: doing that all right? I stop her there. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: people lost me when she used the word cracker. She
Speaker 1: obviously doesn't know what the word cracker means. She probably
Speaker 1: created a bunch of racists by posting this, somebody says,
Speaker 1: typical victim. Yeah she I agree with ex Swimmer on
Speaker 1: TMJ chat on this. I think she was looking for trouble.
Speaker 1: I think that this woman was looking for trouble and
Speaker 1: she found it, which is often the case when you
Speaker 1: get into situations like this. It would have been really
Speaker 1: easy for her to just blaze around this guy. Now.
Speaker 1: I also think, you know, I am. I'm gonna pick
Speaker 1: his side. But you've got to be aware, especially if
Speaker 1: you have two large dogs. If you're on the sidewalk,
Speaker 1: other people exist too, so make sure that they can
Speaker 1: get around you. But we want to see what you
Speaker 1: have to say about all this. Give us your dispatch
Speaker 1: response over on the neewsjunkie dot Com. Right now, there
Speaker 1: you go. All right, we're gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to get into what
Speaker 1: is undoubtedly my favorite story of the day. I cannot
Speaker 1: wait until you guys see this story. Oh boy, this
Speaker 1: is fantastic and I can't wait to play this clip
Speaker 1: for you because it's coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 1: You guys, I don't know if you've seen this story
Speaker 1: of Miami about the lady with the license plate, but
Speaker 1: if you haven't, you're in for a treat. Have you
Speaker 1: seen this yet? Sea Land or No?
Speaker 5: I saw you, like bring it up earlier and I
Speaker 5: couldn't really tell what was on the license plate.
Speaker 1: Oh good, What about you, Josh? Did you see this
Speaker 1: story about this lady? I have no idea what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. All right. This is in Miami and this
Speaker 1: woman in South Florida she got a license plate for
Speaker 1: her car and people worry about this. In fact, there
Speaker 1: was another story that we did which was, oh god,
Speaker 1: I think maybe four or five years ago, and they
Speaker 1: were starting to give out a round of license plates
Speaker 1: in Florida that said.
Speaker 2: Gay on them.
Speaker 1: The last three letters of all these license plates that
Speaker 1: were shared were gay and somebody got it and they
Speaker 1: were offended by it, and they're like, I don't want
Speaker 1: this gay license plate. Gay and the guy was gay.
Speaker 1: That was the funniest thing it. The guy who was
Speaker 1: complaining was gay and felt targeted because his license plate
Speaker 1: that they gave him said gay. How did they know
Speaker 1: he wanted to return it? This one's different. Now. I
Speaker 1: want to ask you before I play this, you start
Speaker 1: to think in your head, would you or would you
Speaker 1: not keep whatever license plate they gave to you. Now,
Speaker 1: here's what this lady had in this story from CBS
Speaker 1: News Miami.
Speaker 12: To break down what happened and what to do if
Speaker 12: this happens to you.
Speaker 8: Joan, Joan, Well, we've all been there. Every year, when
Speaker 8: you're renewing your tag, you send away for it. Sometimes
Speaker 8: every ten years, the state will send you a brand
Speaker 8: new plate.
Speaker 1: Well wait, wait what No, No, As far as I
Speaker 1: know of my grown adult life, this is not how
Speaker 1: it works. When you get a vehicle, if you need
Speaker 1: a plate, you can get issued a plate in whatever
Speaker 1: state you're in. They don't just send you a new
Speaker 1: plate for no reason or every ten years. After a
Speaker 1: handful of years, I think they do. I have never
Speaker 1: had that happen to me. Have you guys ever had
Speaker 1: this happen. I've never had a car for more than
Speaker 1: ten years. I've never had them change my license plate.
Speaker 1: I've only had them issue a license plate. If I
Speaker 1: bought a car from somebody else and it didn't come
Speaker 1: with a plate, or if I bought a brand new car,
Speaker 1: then they would give me your play.
Speaker 5: You've probably purchased a car within the ten years and
Speaker 5: not had to do this. But it says in Florida
Speaker 5: you can keep the same license plate number for up
Speaker 5: to ten years. By state law, plates must be replaced
Speaker 5: every decade to ensure they remain fully reflective visible lament.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really, I have never had this happen. I've definitely
Speaker 1: had cars over ten years old. You're required to change
Speaker 1: it every ten years. I think, yeah. I think they
Speaker 1: just sent it to I'm learning something today, and I'm
Speaker 1: learning something that might be on the way before too long.
Speaker 1: My genesis is twenty eighteen. Oh no, I might get
Speaker 1: a license plate like that.
Speaker 2: Find out right, here's what this lady got here.
Speaker 8: What happened to this woman here? But when she got
Speaker 8: she was a little bit more than perplexed because it
Speaker 8: is provocative.
Speaker 3: And I didn't know I was getting a plate.
Speaker 8: When Nancy Dellastrato went to collect her mail, she got
Speaker 8: quite the surprise a new license plate with her vehicle
Speaker 8: registration renewal.
Speaker 1: She pulls out her license plate for US. It says,
Speaker 1: squeeze ass that's the that's the license plate, sq z
Speaker 1: A five file. I would leave it on. I would
Speaker 1: put it on. I would I would wear it proudly.
Speaker 5: And if you have, if you have a problem with it,
Speaker 5: you talked to the Department of Motor Vehicles issued me
Speaker 5: this license plate.
Speaker 1: It says, squeeze sqz A five file. Here's the crazy part.
Speaker 5: I bet you couldn't if you tried to get that
Speaker 5: as a vanity plate. I think a five to five
Speaker 5: is one of the things that they kind of look
Speaker 5: for that they've filtered out of the request, like things
Speaker 5: like no, because I've seen it every You're like, here's
Speaker 5: the list of license plates that were rejected in Florida
Speaker 5: this year, and.
Speaker 1: Something with ass on it would get rejected every time. Right, Yes,
Speaker 1: but this goes through because it's not custom you think.
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, I think whatever, like sort of failsafes
Speaker 5: they have that would block you from doing a custom
Speaker 5: license plate they don't have for regular I hate to
Speaker 5: say this, regular ass license plates.
Speaker 1: A free license plates doesn't worry you out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so, I mean you would have thought a five
Speaker 5: to five would would have been skipped.
Speaker 1: But it's so awesome that she's an older lady. There's
Speaker 1: it makes it so much better. And she pulls out
Speaker 1: her license plate and she goes, this is squeeze ass
Speaker 1: on it. I can't have a squeeze ass.
Speaker 3: And I said, I don't think so.
Speaker 8: The plant reads sqz A five five, but from a
Speaker 8: distance those five fives can be read as s's. Well,
Speaker 8: you get the picture of blank.
Speaker 3: I don't think a woman that lives in a senior
Speaker 3: community that's going to be seventy seven years old next month,
Speaker 3: we'll be driving around with what this plate has to say.
Speaker 1: Why not, ma'am, what this place has to say that's
Speaker 1: ageist that you're What you're even saying is you're applying
Speaker 1: that a woman in her seventies and an assisted living
Speaker 1: facility can't still have it going on enough to be
Speaker 1: a squeeze ass. I think you're a squeeze ass ma'am.
Speaker 1: All right, I think all all women, in the best
Speaker 1: of ways, this is not sounding good in the best
Speaker 1: of ways. You're all squeeze asses or have the potential
Speaker 1: to be squeeze asses. So she's thinking like, I'm too
Speaker 1: old for this. I don't think she's too old for it.
Speaker 1: Doctor grind Pepper says, can she sell the plate to me?
Speaker 1: Are you entitled to do that? Okay? So that in the.
Speaker 5: List of rejected license plates for twenty twenty five, most
Speaker 5: of the submitted license plates are too vulgar to be published.
Speaker 1: Oh god, but bad A Z five to five. That's
Speaker 1: just too many of them. Let's see we have I'm
Speaker 1: just doing the ones with ASIDM. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think this was supposed to be hall ass, but
Speaker 5: it looks more like halass. But it was h A
Speaker 5: one l A z ZS halas M. Dumb As five, right,
Speaker 5: the name is dumas. It's funny that they get those ones.
Speaker 5: But squeeze ass goes right through. That's I'm telling you.
Speaker 5: I'm telling you that it went through because it wasn't
Speaker 5: requested specifically. It was a randomly generated uh you know,
Speaker 5: letters and numbers that it is just I mean it
Speaker 5: came right after squeeze A five four and right before
Speaker 5: squeeze A five six?
Speaker 1: Am, I crazier. Aren't they doing these in prison? Or
Speaker 1: is that old skies? So they're making them in prison.
Speaker 1: Somebody must have been like a squeeze ass, all right
Speaker 1: and made this in prison. I don't expect them to
Speaker 1: say anything about it, but it made it to this lady. Well,
Speaker 1: she doesn't think she's a squeeze ass, but you know,
Speaker 1: I think she might be. I think she could be.
Speaker 1: She's upset by this whole thing.
Speaker 8: The plates become the talk around her retirement community, especially
Speaker 8: the men. We were with her when she showed it
Speaker 8: to one of her eighty nine year old neighbors.
Speaker 3: And this is why received from the Danbee for my
Speaker 3: new license plate. That's good for ten years.
Speaker 1: Good good, he's it.
Speaker 2: He's in his eighties. This guy's like, oh, goude, squeeze ass.
Speaker 8: Florida license plates have been made at a state prison
Speaker 8: in North Florida for almost a century. Then they're funneled
Speaker 8: through the county agencies. Nancy's plate was mailed from the
Speaker 8: Broward Property tax Collector's office. We went there to try
Speaker 8: to help her get some answers.
Speaker 1: How could you do this question about a tag if
Speaker 1: you want to replace a tag?
Speaker 8: And while no one wanted to talk on camera, we
Speaker 8: were told anyone unhappy with a plate can turn it
Speaker 8: in for another one for free.
Speaker 3: And I'm resigning to it, and I figured maybe it
Speaker 3: was just destined to be on my car.
Speaker 8: So for now, Nancy's keeping the tag, although she is
Speaker 8: planning to let the state.
Speaker 1: By the way, she has a shirt on it that says,
Speaker 1: so far, this is the oldest I've ever been. So
Speaker 1: she kind of likes silly little things like that. Hey,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe she's just going to keep this and deal
Speaker 1: with it. She's going to be the squeeze ass lady.
Speaker 1: So congratulations to her. I think you got yourself a
Speaker 1: real winner there. I know in some cases, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys ever seen this before. In some
Speaker 1: cases you can sell your license plate and in like
Speaker 1: a lot of European countries, people will have number one
Speaker 1: or really short ones, yeah, and they sell them for
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Seiland search for most expensive license
Speaker 1: plate or something, because some places will allow them to
Speaker 1: resell the license plate and they become worth an insane
Speaker 1: amount of money because the person who wants a supercar
Speaker 1: also wants the specialty license plate that says, well, squeeze
Speaker 1: ass in this case, so maybe she can make some cash.
Speaker 5: In United Kingdom, the F one plate holds an unofficial
Speaker 5: resale asking price in nearly twenty million dollars Oh my god,
Speaker 5: and was originally purchased for six hundred and eighteen grand
Speaker 5: by Avval Khan in two thousand and eight. But in
Speaker 5: United States and Delaware two digit plate six it's not
Speaker 5: two digits is a zero six, It just says six
Speaker 5: was auctioned for six hundred and seventy five thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: The Texas vanity plate twelfth man resold for one hundred
Speaker 5: and fifty I mean, when you buy these, I don't
Speaker 5: think you could put them on a car, so you
Speaker 5: think they're selling them just to put them up somewhere
Speaker 5: and then how it's a collectible.
Speaker 2: But theyd not actually street legal on a car.
Speaker 1: If you know more about that, let us know tips
Speaker 1: at the Newsjunkie dot com or send a dispatch because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get into those when we come back. We
Speaker 1: got feedback coming in and Jury Duty as well. And
Speaker 1: one of the stories in Jury Duty has to do
Speaker 1: with something you deal with every single week. I want
Speaker 1: to see how people feel about this. If this happened
Speaker 1: to you, what would you think if somebody was doing
Speaker 1: this to your trash? What would you think that's coming
Speaker 1: up next? On the news junkie. I was doing it
Speaker 1: as I do every once in a while, I'll do
Speaker 1: little bonus stories for the school mic folks during breaks,
Speaker 1: and I thought, this is definitely a throwaway story.
Speaker 2: Who really cares about this?
Speaker 1: I was talking about how Netflix is doing all these
Speaker 1: new reality shows. They had success over on Netflix and
Speaker 1: again I'll get into jury duty in a second here,
Speaker 1: but they had success on Netflix with the Squid Games,
Speaker 1: the Challenge or whatever it was called. Yeah, squid Game's
Speaker 1: reality game show that they did, and we talked about Sorry,
Speaker 1: I apologize, I apologize. I couldn't get to the button
Speaker 1: fast enough. I tried everything I could. I am so
Speaker 1: sorry Forget that happened. Forget it happened, rewind rewind you
Speaker 1: think about this show, remember that and not Amelia. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'm so sorry. I could not suppress that
Speaker 1: I was trying to get over to the button that
Speaker 1: turns off my microphone, sneezing, is good for you. It's fine.
Speaker 1: I don't get mad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but if you do that thing where you hold
Speaker 5: your nose, remember kids used to do that in school.
Speaker 5: They would hold their nose to stop sneezing because they
Speaker 5: felt like, for whatever reason, sneezing was no good and
Speaker 5: why did you not want to sneez Sneezing and feels fantastic.
Speaker 1: Well, they thought you sneezing made your eyeballs pop out
Speaker 1: of your head.
Speaker 2: That's what they was.
Speaker 1: Holding your nose.
Speaker 5: I thought was supposed to be the things that make
Speaker 5: your eyebells pop out of your head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, that was the rumor for a while.
Speaker 1: That is true, but sorry, back to it. The Netflix,
Speaker 1: they started with the reality show about the squid Game challenge,
Speaker 1: making that real fully misunderstanding the point of squid Game.
Speaker 1: But then they did we talked about on Secret Shows.
Speaker 1: They got a new Willy Wonka thing coming out where
Speaker 1: they're doing a game show where they rebuilt Willy Wonka's
Speaker 1: factory and there's the chocolate river and everything, and there's
Speaker 1: some reality competition that they're doing where you got to
Speaker 1: get through the Willywaonka's chocolate factory and then the other
Speaker 1: one that they just announced that they're doing over at
Speaker 1: Netflix is another reality game show with two million dollars on.
Speaker 2: The line, and it's Monopoly.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's yeah, a Monopoly game show on Netflix.
Speaker 1: And all the chats started to say was what pieces
Speaker 1: they would pick. And I don't judge people on most things,
Speaker 1: but all of the pieces that the somebody said, I
Speaker 1: use the iron every time, I'll use the iron or
Speaker 1: I'm not playing. The iron is literally, without doubt, the
Speaker 1: lamest piece in Monopoly. It's like an afterthought. It shouldn't
Speaker 1: have been in there. It's like the thimble. If you
Speaker 1: use the thimble, are you even alive? Are you actually
Speaker 1: a human being? Everybody knows the top hat is the
Speaker 1: piece that you use in Monopoly.
Speaker 2: That's what bosses use.
Speaker 1: That's what the cool cats use out there, like the car.
Speaker 1: The car is whatever. I mean, it's kind of cool
Speaker 1: that you can rhame drive it around the board or whatever.
Speaker 2: But the car and the dog, those are.
Speaker 1: What the lame normal people use, right, the regular everyday people,
Speaker 1: the smart people use the top hat every single time.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me I'm the lamest piece. You're the lamest piece.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me I'm the lamest piece. I think this
Speaker 1: says a lot about you. And if you choose the
Speaker 1: thimble or the iron, that doesn't say something good about
Speaker 1: you when you're playing monopoly. Let me get to the
Speaker 1: actual stories. The wheel barrow is probably the lamest. The
Speaker 1: wheelbarrow is lame, I agree. What about the shoe. The
Speaker 1: shoe is okay, it's it's okay. Yeah, it's not great. Josh,
Speaker 1: use the boot? Are you the boot?
Speaker 6: No, I'd use the battleship or the horseback guy.
Speaker 1: The battleship is also a boss move to use the
Speaker 1: battleship because technically, if all of them went to war,
Speaker 1: the battleship would be the piece that won by a
Speaker 1: wide margin and no circumstances at all except that when
Speaker 1: I beat you.
Speaker 5: Now, when I beat you in monopoly and you're the battleship,
Speaker 5: I get to say I sunk your battleship and then
Speaker 5: points for me.
Speaker 1: That's how it works. Good luck, good luck trying to
Speaker 1: do there's so bad. The iron is not better than
Speaker 1: the shoe, you weir wait wait wait wait wait wait
Speaker 1: wait wait.
Speaker 2: Or a hippo. There's no hippo.
Speaker 1: There's no hippo. Isn't there. There's a dog, a thimble,
Speaker 1: an iron that's the worst, a wheelbarrow, a car, a
Speaker 1: top hat, and a battleship, and it might be missing one.
Speaker 1: But the cannon. There's a cannon. I've never even seen
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, I'm looking at a cannon here. I
Speaker 1: get judgy on this. I think it says a lot
Speaker 1: about your personality which piece that you actually pick.
Speaker 5: The standard ones were just the eight ones like top hat, race, card, battleship, boot,
Speaker 5: Scottie dog is what they called it, thimble, wheelbarrow, and cat.
Speaker 1: All right, there was a cat too. I didn't even
Speaker 1: know that they were a cat. Here we go, let's
Speaker 1: do jury duty.
Speaker 7: Court is now in session, so put your phone down
Speaker 7: and pay attention before we.
Speaker 1: Call the bailiff over to whip your ass. You're knowing jury.
Speaker 2: Duty with the news junk kid.
Speaker 1: I want to stretch this out any longer than it
Speaker 1: needs to be, because it didn't need to be even on
Speaker 1: the show, honestly, But I don't remember a cat. Everybody
Speaker 1: swapped the cat out at one point. Look, I don't
Speaker 1: know man for the dog.
Speaker 2: You think the dog had the Scotti dog, that's what
Speaker 2: they called it. Okay.
Speaker 1: I mean if the if the television show reality game
Speaker 1: show with two million dollars in the line, Monopoly is
Speaker 1: anything like every game of Monopoly I've ever played, it
Speaker 1: will just never end. People will argue over what the
Speaker 1: real rules are and what the fake, stupid rules are.
Speaker 2: Your dad will try to make up new rules.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, no, I could just take whatever properties I'm on,
Speaker 1: or I don't have to pay anything, or everybody has
Speaker 1: a different theory about free parking and what you're supposed
Speaker 1: to do. Do the finds go into the bank or
Speaker 1: do the fines going to the middle of the board.
Speaker 1: That's what this is going to devolve into, because the
Speaker 1: truth is, over the course of the history of this game,
Speaker 1: which was meant to teach people a lesson about capitalism,
Speaker 1: actually all anybody ever did was open it up, get
Speaker 1: excited about the stupid game pieces, and start playing. And
Speaker 1: nobody took the time to actually read the rules in
Speaker 1: the game. And then the brutal truth is, if you
Speaker 1: read the actual rules of Monopoly and play it the
Speaker 1: way you're supposed to, it sucks. It's not nearly as good.
Speaker 1: I apologize, all right, I just I got to get
Speaker 1: to it. Jury dude, he brought to you by motive
Speaker 1: of the DeWit Law firm. I should not be spending
Speaker 1: this much your own rich huncle pennybags. I just I
Speaker 1: need to move on. I need to move on. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred CALLMO. Eight hundred CALLMO, or go to JUSTCALLMO dot com.
Speaker 1: After an accident, reach out to the attorney that's ready
Speaker 1: to help you out and get you on that path
Speaker 1: to the big check that you deserve from those greedy
Speaker 1: insurance companies. That's Moses de Way. Eight hundred call MO
Speaker 1: or go to just CALLMO dot com. There is a
Speaker 1: story that's getting some attention here and it's about a
Speaker 1: group of school principles. Two school principles in the same
Speaker 1: suv both got a DUI within within a matter of hours.
Speaker 1: And our friends are at Fox thirty five were talking
Speaker 1: about this. Let me let me go back at Auto
Speaker 1: played there on me.
Speaker 2: But here it is.
Speaker 15: It is arrested for dui just hours apart in Lake County.
Speaker 15: You can see this new body camera video shows both
Speaker 15: women caught in Claremont behind the wheel of the same car.
Speaker 15: I'm thirty five's Chancellor Whins joining us live now. So Chancellor,
Speaker 15: police say both of these women are Principles.
Speaker 10: Yeah, police say it all started when they pulled over
Speaker 10: a woman for allegedly driving drunk. She was arrested and
Speaker 10: the woman in her passenger seat was sent home in
Speaker 10: a ride share.
Speaker 1: But a few hours later.
Speaker 10: That same passenger arrested in that same car allegedly for
Speaker 10: driving it drunk, heading to the jail to bond out
Speaker 10: her friend.
Speaker 1: Oh no, so she gets told, you guys are drunk,
Speaker 1: the driver is a dui. Pop, you're going to the jail,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna get in a ride chair and
Speaker 1: you're getting out of here. And one of the principal
Speaker 1: ladies got back in the car and then drove that
Speaker 1: to get her friend out of jail and got herself
Speaker 1: a dui as well. And they're both Principles here. So
Speaker 1: it looks worse. Jennifer, where falls Principles? Police? She said, stop,
Speaker 1: why would you say that, Prince Principles? I heard the
Speaker 1: guy from from from Nevada, the governor. He threw his
Speaker 1: name out and said, is what his gig was, Lobado. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're both Principles.
Speaker 10: The woman behind the wheel of this car on July
Speaker 10: fifth is forty one year old Jennifer Yamenez and the
Speaker 10: woman in the pastor seat is forty five year old
Speaker 10: Christina Alcoholde. Officers say both of them had been drinking.
Speaker 17: Jennifer, you consumed any alcohol today because I can smell.
Speaker 10: But Yemnez was the one allegedly driving, So the officer
Speaker 10: gets her out of the suv, where ye Minez refused
Speaker 10: both the field sobriety exercises and the breathalyzer test and
Speaker 10: tried to talk her way out of a trip to jail.
Speaker 1: Balls, what high in totem pole? You know educationn't it?
Speaker 1: She said? We are both high on the totem pole
Speaker 1: of education to vegitation. Well, is that the common knowledge
Speaker 1: that you're on camera? Yeah? Are you just too drunk
Speaker 1: to care? Dave might have the pretty out of it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they had. Maybe they look in
Speaker 1: the car.
Speaker 10: It didn't work, as was taken to jail and police
Speaker 10: made sure her passenger al called a got a right
Speaker 10: share home now. Less than three hours later, Coleman police
Speaker 10: pulled over the exact same suv and found that passenger
Speaker 10: now behind.
Speaker 1: Split second there, Okay, I'm back. The lady is saying,
Speaker 1: I'm good now, I'm good. Like she's been home, so
Speaker 1: she's good.
Speaker 11: I understand.
Speaker 1: I'm really not promise not.
Speaker 10: Lake County Schools tells us neither woman is a district employee.
Speaker 10: The employment address listed on al Calladay's arrest report matches
Speaker 10: Pine Crest Lakes Academy human as his employment was left
Speaker 10: blank on her paperwork, but her name is listed as
Speaker 10: a principal for another Pine Crest Academy school. The governing
Speaker 10: board for Pinecrest Academy tells Fox thirty five they are
Speaker 10: aware of a situation involving school leadership, releasing a statement
Speaker 10: that reads, in part the governing bar.
Speaker 1: So they said, the governing board consulted with its national
Speaker 1: co employer throughout this process, and based on that guidance,
Speaker 1: has taken the appropriate administrative actions to address this matter.
Speaker 1: What so they're doing nothing? Probably that's the most boiler
Speaker 1: plate thing. The governing board consulted with its national co
Speaker 1: employer throughout this process, and based on that guidance, has
Speaker 1: taken the appropriate administrative actions to address this matter. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell that means, but that's what
Speaker 1: the school is saying. But I ask you, should the
Speaker 1: principles be fired they're school principles. They both got popped
Speaker 1: for a dui in the same car within a couple
Speaker 1: of hours.
Speaker 2: What do you think should happen to them?
Speaker 1: Let us know. There's your story in jury duty today.
Speaker 1: The second most impressive dual dui I know of. You
Speaker 1: know another one?
Speaker 5: Well, the first one I'll always go back to is
Speaker 5: the guy in Ohio that got a dui at one
Speaker 5: eight in the morning, and then he they arrested him.
Speaker 5: They took him to the like the police thing that
Speaker 5: be processed jail, issued citations and released him to an
Speaker 5: adult release on your owner reconnaissance. Okay, then he got
Speaker 5: in the car and started driving. In between that time
Speaker 5: daylight savings time change happened and they rolled back the
Speaker 5: clocks and he got another dui at one eight in
Speaker 5: the morning.
Speaker 1: He was probably thinking in the way that you think
Speaker 1: after a plane crash happens to an airline. Yes, there's
Speaker 1: no way this will happen again. These ladies probably the same.
Speaker 1: They're like, there's no no way, no way anything like
Speaker 1: that would happen again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did I fade out again?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, there's more fun at that time. Quick break,
Speaker 1: quick break, When we come back we'll do the Power Hour.
Speaker 1: We'll get into your dispatch was which I promised in
Speaker 1: this trash story, not as in it's a bad story,
Speaker 1: it's a very interesting story, but what if this happened
Speaker 1: to your trash that's coming up next, and then use
Speaker 1: junkie dispatches and emails on deck also the Power Hour
Speaker 1: on deck very quickly before we launched the Power Hour, though,
Speaker 1: shouts out to KTLA reporter Rachel Mentov, who I guess
Speaker 1: just did a report where she had a bit of
Speaker 1: a surprise visitor during it and kept her cool professionally
Speaker 1: in a way that I never ever, ever ever would
Speaker 1: have done. I'm just going to say that ahead of time.
Speaker 1: I'll put this up for you on see it now.
Speaker 1: I still got to put the fire train thing up
Speaker 1: from the beginning of the show, but I will, I
Speaker 1: promise after the show, and I'll also put this up
Speaker 1: as well. Here's this woman from KTL five in California.
Speaker 1: You're gonna see if you're watching on YouTube and twitch
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, what is interrupting her shot?
Speaker 12: There she goes and it's a lot more comfortable at
Speaker 12: this hour, but we're still in It's.
Speaker 1: Not just a roach folks, it is a mongo roach.
Speaker 1: This suckers every bit of three inches long or something.
Speaker 1: That the roach that is crawling on this reporter, and
Speaker 1: she's just a little much. But that's a pretty huge roach.
Speaker 1: That was big, right, it's a big It's a pretty
Speaker 1: big roach.
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly how big it is.
Speaker 1: But you're in the.
Speaker 16: Valley, so overnight temperature is not drop back down her
Speaker 16: shirt leads to less recovery to the microphone.
Speaker 2: She didn't even recognize.
Speaker 1: I have to hand it really calm.
Speaker 5: I don't know if she knew that was there.
Speaker 20: So those fly.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'm an put that up on see
Speaker 1: it now in just a moment here with the roach
Speaker 1: on her and everything, you just swat that thing on
Speaker 1: roaches to sit in the chair in the corner. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, without a shadow of a doubt, if a
Speaker 1: roach ran across me during the show like that, I
Speaker 1: would absolutely lose it. It would not go well for me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll put this up as we're doing this part of
Speaker 1: the show, because it's time. Let's do the Power Hour.
Speaker 2: They said it couldn't be done.
Speaker 1: Then they said, squeeze ass it's time for the Power
Speaker 1: Hour on the news, Chunky nice quick turnaround too. All right,
Speaker 1: let me just make sure this is up, because I
Speaker 1: feel so bad for not posting stuff.
Speaker 2: If I say I'm going.
Speaker 1: To there, it is squeeze ass the reporter. That makes
Speaker 1: sense if you're just tuning into the show. That's base
Speaker 1: on previous things that happened, so it makes perfect sense
Speaker 1: in context.
Speaker 2: Squeeze ass.
Speaker 1: Also, I tried to say that as a I was
Speaker 1: trying to say it as like a compliment, because the
Speaker 1: woman was like, why would they give me a seventy
Speaker 1: something year old woman a license played for my car
Speaker 1: that says she said, I'm I'm an old person and
Speaker 1: an assistant living facility. Why would you give me a
Speaker 1: squeeze ass? And I was trying to say every woman
Speaker 1: could be a squeeze ass. But then I realized a
Speaker 1: further squeeze ass. The further I thought of my he
Speaker 1: was gonna say young women from the little Girl's the
Speaker 1: old lady. I can't I So I had to back
Speaker 1: out of that. But I meant it as a positive thing.
Speaker 1: In case you go back to that segment. I want
Speaker 1: everybody to know about that. All right, Your trash is
Speaker 1: something we often don't think too much about We just
Speaker 1: throw it outside. There's few people who follow the rules anymore.
Speaker 1: Courtney follows the rules from nineteen eighty five, which is
Speaker 1: hilarious to me, just one of the most hilarious things,
Speaker 1: which rules. What old rule do you think is? She
Speaker 1: shouldn't be following she see like she still cuts the
Speaker 1: things on, like a six pack of soda. I did
Speaker 1: that too. Do you do that too?
Speaker 5: Except for dolphins turtles? What I do is, I don't
Speaker 5: do it like every time I have one. I just
Speaker 5: when I finish a six pack, usually it's in the
Speaker 5: garage fridge, so I just toss the empty six pack
Speaker 5: in there. And then when I have a big pile
Speaker 5: of them, I just take all a bunch of them
Speaker 5: out and cut them all at one time.
Speaker 1: Saves me a little bit of time. In twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: you guys literally still cut up the six pack things,
Speaker 1: the plastic things. Cordy does it too, and I go,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And she goes, I don't know,
Speaker 1: animals or something. This is something exactly, And I said,
Speaker 1: people have been hoodwinked by so much of this recycling
Speaker 1: propaganda over the years. I don't want to be the naysayer,
Speaker 1: But the truth is half the stuff you put in
Speaker 1: your recycle bin more than that, actually never gets recycled.
Speaker 1: It gets sold off to other countries, or it just
Speaker 1: gets turned into trash and they put it right where
Speaker 1: the trash goes. Recycling is kind of not all the way,
Speaker 1: but kind of a scam. It's kind of a scam
Speaker 1: the whole world of recycling, and half the stuff you
Speaker 1: put in there isn't recyclable anyways.
Speaker 2: You're getting your pizza.
Speaker 1: You're recycling're arguing over two different things here, what well,
Speaker 1: the you don't recycle the six pack holder. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: saying that these are all habits that people get into
Speaker 1: and a lot of its habit driven. So when you
Speaker 1: put your stuff, like when you put a pizza box
Speaker 1: after you order pizza, do you put it in the
Speaker 1: recycle bin? Habit? I typically don't because it has food
Speaker 1: waste on it, right, it's got grease and it's got
Speaker 1: food and like I guess you can't really recycle I'm
Speaker 1: not supposed to. But if you have a bottle of water,
Speaker 1: you put that into the recycle bin, right, Yes, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm a loose on what you're supposed to do, not suppose.
Speaker 5: I'm also constantly fishing corks out of my recycle bin
Speaker 5: because my wife thinks that when she's done with a
Speaker 5: bottle of wine that the whole thing is recyclable, and
Speaker 5: I don't think cork is recyclable.
Speaker 1: Well, in this case, you better know what's recyclable with
Speaker 1: Sea Lane, because they're sending the folks out to bash
Speaker 1: knee caps in Sacramento, California. Enter the garbage cops. The
Speaker 1: garbage and recycling cops are checking your cans. Boys, that's
Speaker 1: what's happening. The trash boys are on the case. They
Speaker 1: are on the case. Here's what's going on.
Speaker 18: Before you roll out your bins, just know your garbage, mixed, recycling,
Speaker 18: and organic waste containers could be inspected.
Speaker 20: Yeah, we won't be touching any of the contents, just
Speaker 20: giving a visual.
Speaker 18: The city of Sacramento will have cruise checking containers across
Speaker 18: the city detractive residents or sorting properly.
Speaker 20: We conducted the same reviews last June, and we found
Speaker 20: high contamination levels of you know, issues like plastic bags
Speaker 20: and the recycling.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the deal. I know this happens. I know
Speaker 1: it's a problem. You gotta do PSAs for this. You
Speaker 1: cannot send out the trash police. People are not going
Speaker 1: to take well to this. Even in California. If this
Speaker 1: happens in your state, it's not going to go well.
Speaker 1: You can't have somebody going out and digging through your
Speaker 1: trash in the front yard, and then if I walk out,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to dig Into's just a visuals. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna handle a pat down one trash canocular pat
Speaker 1: down is too much. If I walk outside my front
Speaker 1: door and I see you looking through my trash, I
Speaker 1: don't know why, but people are territorial of their trash.
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't be too bothered, but a lot of
Speaker 1: people will go, who woo woo wo, that's my trash. Pal,
Speaker 1: don't be putting anything in there.
Speaker 5: A vendasaurer says, Orange County does a recycling audio audit
Speaker 5: once every two years.
Speaker 1: You get a note with a grade on how you did.
Speaker 1: I've never gotten a note like that for a trash auto.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's county and not city recycling, but I've never
Speaker 1: had anything like that from the city. And that's what
Speaker 1: like who picks up my waist? I've never had anybody
Speaker 1: come and look in my trash, at least not that
Speaker 1: I know of.
Speaker 2: By the way, we're dropping out.
Speaker 1: A little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah it we lost you there for a second, or
Speaker 2: you lost me.
Speaker 1: I don't know I lost you. Everybody hurt me? Yeah no,
Speaker 1: they did not on the stream, they didn't. Everybody on
Speaker 1: the radio side heard not on the stream side. They're
Speaker 1: looking through your trash. They're gonna get you. We're a
Speaker 1: hop skipping a jump away from this, going to the
Speaker 1: next level where they say hands up. I put your
Speaker 1: hands up. We're coming after you. You put the wrong stuff
Speaker 1: in the wrong.
Speaker 20: Camp garbage and their organics.
Speaker 18: Jesse David says it's to be in compliance with SB
Speaker 18: thirteen eighty three, a state law that requires local jurisdictions
Speaker 18: to make efforts to reduce methane emissions specifically, but organic
Speaker 18: waste ending up in landfills. Okay, but residents won't face
Speaker 18: any fines, just feedback.
Speaker 1: Not yet.
Speaker 20: Container that we've had to will either give a great job,
Speaker 20: tag or let's sort this out.
Speaker 1: Tag, bro, don't sort this out. I'm not in elementary school.
Speaker 1: I don't want a sunshine or a storm cloud. I
Speaker 1: don't want your stickers showing me how you've done. That's
Speaker 1: what they're doing. How do we feel about this? Do
Speaker 1: we think this is good? I think that the message
Speaker 1: is fine, but don't be the trash cops. I think
Speaker 1: legitimately the way you handle this is through PSAs. You
Speaker 1: got to have people explaining what goes where, because most
Speaker 1: people don't know.
Speaker 5: California is a little different than we have it. And
Speaker 5: I've experienced this because I had a friend that lived
Speaker 5: in Connecticut who had the same thing. Where where we live,
Speaker 5: recycling is not mandatory. We can throw everything in the
Speaker 5: trash can and that's how it goes, but it is there. Yes,
Speaker 5: California has some of the strictest recycling and waste auction
Speaker 5: laws in the country. They have to separate the recyclables.
Speaker 5: They're organic waste, so they have like three bins. They
Speaker 5: have organic waste and then regular trash and then recycling
Speaker 5: and they have to do it. My friend that lived
Speaker 5: in in Connecticut when we went and visited and we
Speaker 5: were in New Haven, and she's like, no, yeah, make
Speaker 5: sure you put it in the right bin because I
Speaker 5: get fined if I don't.
Speaker 1: They would just like they send you a ticket in
Speaker 1: the mail. They would send you a fine, yeah, like
Speaker 1: a small citation or something. My god, I would lose
Speaker 1: it over that. That's like really nanny state stuff. For
Speaker 1: God's sake. Encourage people to do it, and they will
Speaker 1: do it, I think, yeah, I mean, I think most people,
Speaker 1: like go around your neighborhood. There's not too many grumps
Speaker 1: who don't participate or try to participate in the recycling program.
Speaker 5: Actually I prefer, I mean to do it just because
Speaker 5: if not, I would need multiple bins for the other stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it fills up so fast. Anyways, I mean
Speaker 1: with your house. Now, this has been a weird thing
Speaker 1: that it seems to have transitioned since I became an adult.
Speaker 1: When I was a young man, when I was a
Speaker 1: young ward hog as it were. I don't know if
Speaker 1: this was the case for everybody, but this was the
Speaker 1: case for me. In row A Palm Beach, my parents
Speaker 1: would have to go to home depot and buy a
Speaker 1: trash can. So like we all bought trash cans, and
Speaker 1: you have like different trash cans, big ones, small ones,
Speaker 1: different your head, yes you could have all the different
Speaker 1: styles and sizes, but you bought your own trash can,
Speaker 1: and then that was a trash can you have now?
Speaker 1: From what I can tell, in most places there's a
Speaker 1: trash can that comes with your house. Yeah, because they
Speaker 1: needed that one.
Speaker 5: They needed them all to be the same so they
Speaker 5: could lay off garbage workers and have the big robot
Speaker 5: pick them up.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they've worked out well for them, But I
Speaker 1: just don't want them rooting through my trash. Let us
Speaker 1: know what you think, sena dispatch over at the neewsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com.
Speaker 2: Are this working a few with those?
Speaker 1: Because I've been mentioning it and I promised I would.
Speaker 1: Here's Trevor, insurance broker. He's talking about the license plate situation.
Speaker 1: All right. Hello, Hey news a junkie.
Speaker 21: Hey Trevor the insurance broker here. Yep, after ten years,
Speaker 21: I did have to get a new plate. I've got
Speaker 21: one of those Marine Corps veterurer and license plates with
Speaker 21: the Eagle globe an anchor. And yes, this just happened
Speaker 21: to me this past year. Renewed my tag. How to
Speaker 21: get it in a new plate?
Speaker 2: Nice?
Speaker 1: Another Marine Corps veteran shouts out, brother, right back to you,
Speaker 1: what you are? I'm also my father served in the
Speaker 1: Marine Corps, so I too am a veteran of the
Speaker 1: Marine Corps. So who raw to you? And I appreciate
Speaker 1: you and I would thank you for your service, be
Speaker 1: didn't take me from mine, so I don't know how
Speaker 1: to handle. I'll just thank you for yours for now, Trevor.
Speaker 1: But thanks for the input. I didn't know this was
Speaker 1: a thing until Seelan said that that that's legitimately a thing.
Speaker 1: That they replace your tag every ten years. And that's
Speaker 1: why the woman got caught with squeeze ass or whatever
Speaker 1: she ended up with. Hopeful that clip isn't anywhere handy.
Speaker 1: But here we go. Here's got crypto with a dispatch.
Speaker 22: Howdy folks, Kurt here this has been an eternal battle
Speaker 22: cyclist against the world. True, you know, and I used
Speaker 22: to do a bit of cycling. But even then, all
Speaker 22: the videos and encounters in real.
Speaker 1: Life I'd see the cyclist was usually the.
Speaker 22: Dick most of the times, ignoring stop signs, blown through signals.
Speaker 22: You know, you're supposed to behave like a motor vehicle
Speaker 22: according to the law, and yeah, that includes riding on
Speaker 22: the road. But say, like myself, you'd been hit by
Speaker 22: cars a few times, you've decided it's not worth it.
Speaker 22: You'd rather stay on the side.
Speaker 1: I've been hit by cars a few times.
Speaker 23: Bro.
Speaker 1: That's a that's that's quite a bit, even once seems
Speaker 1: like a lot.
Speaker 22: Well, even with the expansion joints, it's usually not worth
Speaker 22: it to hoot and holler at someone walking on the sidewalk.
Speaker 2: You know, they got earbuds in, they can't hear you.
Speaker 22: And by the time they do they finally realize what's
Speaker 22: going on, they turn around and see, oh, you're barreling
Speaker 22: down towards them, and they jump the wrong way.
Speaker 1: Forget all that. It's easier just.
Speaker 22: To maybe ding your bell if you got one, and
Speaker 22: just go around them on the ground, even on skinny
Speaker 22: road bike tires. Just easier and simpler for everyone involved.
Speaker 1: Well, go will go pop up.
Speaker 2: Thank you man, I appreciate the dispatch.
Speaker 1: She brings up a point.
Speaker 5: I have noticed that there's I think it's the same
Speaker 5: guy in my neighborhood that that's biking down the main
Speaker 5: road a lot that never stops at stop signs, And
Speaker 5: I'm like, I technically have the right away here, yeah,
Speaker 5: and he would probably. I mean, I don't know this
Speaker 5: guy from Adam, so I mean, he might be a
Speaker 5: super nice guy and go, that's my bud. But I
Speaker 5: have I have a feeling that if I tried to
Speaker 5: in shout there, I'd be.
Speaker 1: Like, whoa, whoa, Oh, I'm I'm on my bike here man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gonna you gotta watch out for bike people. It's
Speaker 1: a fight that's gone on as long as bikes and
Speaker 1: pedestrians have been encountering each other, and bikes versus vehicles,
Speaker 1: and the bikes seem to be at a lot of
Speaker 1: these things. They seem to be involved quite a bit. Oh,
Speaker 1: we got a TTS dispatch on the service topic.
Speaker 24: Listen up, Private Watson. I am a gd podcast listener,
Speaker 24: and I've never dispatched in my entire career as a
Speaker 24: legacy marine. That is the proper title for what you
Speaker 24: and I are. Thank you, You are welcome, see lane
Speaker 24: for our service. In spite of previous orders to dispatch,
Speaker 24: I have not.
Speaker 1: Do you know why, Watson? Of course you don't, so
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. H Hi, the.
Speaker 24: Particular story of interest has.
Speaker 1: Already come and gone.
Speaker 24: To put it in terms you will understand, the storyboat
Speaker 24: has been missed.
Speaker 1: Do you know who is to blame? Story mile, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know about that part, Buddy did
Speaker 1: address the service stuff.
Speaker 2: So there you go. Thank you for that.
Speaker 1: We'll get to some more, believe it or not, before
Speaker 1: the end of the show today. A big thank you
Speaker 1: to sun State John for the gifted subscriptions. I just
Speaker 1: saw that coming through a moment ago. Let's see how many,
Speaker 1: just to make sure, I'll look at that. What a guy,
Speaker 1: what a supporter, big support fourteen subscription. Let's see you
Speaker 1: jump on board. Now, let's see what we could do
Speaker 1: with that in the power hour of the show, because
Speaker 1: we got more to get to. We got some World
Speaker 1: Cup drama. I want to play that. We've got a
Speaker 1: bunch of clips that I want to work together in
Speaker 1: a grab segment. Don't miss out on any of it.
Speaker 1: It's coming up next in the News Junkie. More disturbing
Speaker 1: than the roach on that news lady, which is up
Speaker 1: on see it now, take a look.
Speaker 2: At that if you get a chance.
Speaker 1: This story is a little freaky, little disturbing. Somebody recorded
Speaker 1: this happening at a McDonald's drive through. I am going
Speaker 1: to go on the record saying this doesn't happen at
Speaker 1: most McDonald's drive throughs, and it's not my experience that
Speaker 1: they generally work this way. As somebody saw the McDonald's
Speaker 1: employee through the window and started filming them, and then
Speaker 1: it ended up with this very very in depth report
Speaker 1: from a TikTok reporter about what was going on, as
Speaker 1: the reporter covering what's happening here, some details forthcoming, all right,
Speaker 1: So if.
Speaker 23: You take a look here, he's very clearly licking his
Speaker 23: finger there now twice. Watch how many patties.
Speaker 1: He pulls out? One, two, three.
Speaker 23: He's got very clearly about three patties in his hand
Speaker 23: right there. And immediately after this he does what we'd
Speaker 23: all expect him to do, which is put his fingers
Speaker 23: right back.
Speaker 1: Bro, what are you doing? The McDonald's worker has gloves on,
Speaker 1: and he keeps putting the gloves in his mouth, and
Speaker 1: he puts the gloves in his mouth and then touches
Speaker 1: the stack of burgers and then puts the gloves in
Speaker 1: his mouth again afterwards and is licking the with the gloves.
Speaker 1: Who does a good chef tastes their food while they're
Speaker 1: picking it. There's ways to do that. Yeah, my god,
Speaker 1: he was sucking on his gloves, like the work gloves
Speaker 1: that they were using. This guy's chronicling every moment he's
Speaker 1: right back. Now.
Speaker 23: This is a very a large amount of engagement. So
Speaker 23: there's a lot of awareness on this post. And if
Speaker 23: you look at the comments here, some people think it's okay,
Speaker 23: he's just doing quality control.
Speaker 1: This greedy.
Speaker 23: Some people to say he's greedy trying all the patties
Speaker 23: and stuff like that. But if we see here, at
Speaker 23: least one person is outraged by this. And the person
Speaker 23: who filmed this video if him licking his fingers, said
Speaker 23: they did report it to the manager. So hopefully this
Speaker 23: guy here is rained in a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, rain him in, well, what a weird way to
Speaker 1: phrase it. Don't don't stop him from serving food, but
Speaker 1: rain him in right a little bit? Yeah, make him
Speaker 1: have a pacifier in his mouth. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: They already have him wearing gloves. They thought, what could
Speaker 1: possibly go wrong? He's not going to be licking them, right,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. Could not lick my fingers with
Speaker 1: gloves on? Oh be a weird. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I could do it. The only thing I licked my
Speaker 1: fingers for. Okay, I realized I'll run up to that sounded,
Speaker 1: But the only thing that I licked my fingers for
Speaker 1: is in the morning when I have all these show
Speaker 1: prep papers ready to go. They're sticky and they I
Speaker 1: can't get them to flip the way I want to see.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was trying to get the patty is not
Speaker 1: to stick together. It works with my papers for the show.
Speaker 1: I don't recommend it. If you're working with other people's food,
Speaker 1: they're not going to like that. Is this right or wrong?
Speaker 1: All right? This is a simple question that I have
Speaker 1: for you, But I think it's part of our future.
Speaker 1: You can tell us if you think if you think
Speaker 1: this is something that people should be doing or if
Speaker 1: they shouldn't. Let us know here. But here is the
Speaker 1: story out of the tech world. Alex Toussaint, who's an engineer,
Speaker 1: has launched the product that they think is going to
Speaker 1: be something that every homeowner has. Here he is trying it.
Speaker 1: I'll explain what's happening here. He's releasing it from this
Speaker 1: little cup that he's got in his hand. And in
Speaker 1: the room there's a bug. They're in a room where
Speaker 1: there's a bug flying around, so they're releasing this little drone.
Speaker 1: There go the drone finds the bug tracks it down
Speaker 1: and kills it like it's in a dogfight. And the
Speaker 1: idea that this company has. The company is saying that
Speaker 1: we are going to put this out there at some
Speaker 1: point in time. It's called torn Torniol tornioll. It's a
Speaker 1: micro drone. Right here, they're showing it. They're showing it
Speaker 1: just blasting mosquitoes, going now, you got my attention. It
Speaker 1: says no more mosquitos, Autonomous drone protection from your home,
Speaker 1: Silent safe and chemical free. You don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about all the chemicals, all the stuff that people are
Speaker 1: spraying in things. Would you try this out? Yes? Or no?
Speaker 2: Folks, let us know.
Speaker 1: The little drone floats around and then if it encounters
Speaker 1: a mosquito anywhere around you it the mosquito, it attacks
Speaker 1: it and kills it. This is seems like a problem
Speaker 1: solver that has a very like narrow audience because okay,
Speaker 1: you have to live in a place that has mosquitoes.
Speaker 1: That's that's kind of easier. You could find mosquitos around it.
Speaker 1: Are they only doing mosquitoes? They're doing other bugs too.
Speaker 1: Mosquitos is what they're pitching it as. Because that I
Speaker 1: think it's good for a lot of buyers.
Speaker 5: But you also have to be in a situation where
Speaker 5: you have no other things that a drone would annoy.
Speaker 5: So like, if you have dogs, there's a good chance
Speaker 5: of this drone is going to create more of a problem.
Speaker 5: If you have small children, the drone will create more
Speaker 5: of a problem. I got hurt them, huh could hurt them? Yeah,
Speaker 5: But or the dog could jump up and just you know,
Speaker 5: snap that drone. Snap that drone right out of the air,
Speaker 5: and it hurts the dog, or it kills your drone,
Speaker 5: which probably if your drones trained in a air mosquito combat,
Speaker 5: which this is, it's it's probably not the cheapest drone
Speaker 5: there is all buy one.
Speaker 1: Somebody says, stop this nonsense. Is somebody else now? I
Speaker 1: want less drones? Make them for spiders that I'm down.
Speaker 1: I want to know how it don't do that for spiders. Man,
Speaker 1: that's where the curse happens. Yeah, it's true, got one
Speaker 1: in the studio.
Speaker 5: I want to know how the drone kills the mosquito,
Speaker 5: if it like, if it has something connected to it
Speaker 5: that performs the task, or is it as simple as
Speaker 5: just saying, hey, I've got four very fast spinning blades
Speaker 5: on me, let me just use one of these.
Speaker 1: It looks like it just chops them. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it runs through it with the blades on the drone
Speaker 1: that you already have.
Speaker 5: That's a hilarious way of using your many drone? Are
Speaker 5: you kidding me?
Speaker 1: See? First of all, to own the drone Mosquito Killer
Speaker 1: one dollars or fifty dollars a month, forever fifty bucks
Speaker 1: a month, forever fifty dollars just because you don't like
Speaker 1: smelling like aerosol spray, it'll take the smell bro maintenance included,
Speaker 1: software updates, build monthly, once shipped, fifty dollars. It's a
Speaker 1: plastic drone though, right. These are cheap looking, aren't they? Yes?
Speaker 1: For sure. They have three colors, and it's either one
Speaker 1: dollars for these and they can reserve them now with
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars deposit. God, that's real expensive. That's Does
Speaker 1: that change your mind, folks, because that sounds a little
Speaker 1: too pricey for me.
Speaker 6: I kind of knew it was going to be that pricey.
Speaker 6: But I'll put up a bath house. It'll accomplish the same.
Speaker 1: Thing, true, exactly right, in a better solution and still
Speaker 1: a humane one, you know.
Speaker 2: Not for the mosquitoes.
Speaker 5: I mean, buying the thing for eleven hundred dollars would
Speaker 5: take you almost two years to even that out.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. It looks like a little plastic drone, like
Speaker 1: something you would get on Temu or one of the
Speaker 1: cheap discount websites, or.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think some gas stations might tell him.
Speaker 5: By now, I think I've seen a small plastic drone
Speaker 5: in the gas station. All right, quick break when we
Speaker 5: come back, final dispatches, stories that didn't make the cut,
Speaker 5: And today I learned to wrap everything up for a
Speaker 5: Wednesday that's coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 1: A couple of things to wrap it up here today.
Speaker 1: Did you guys see I don't want to play it
Speaker 1: because I think it might be cursing. Would you see
Speaker 1: the video where shil Lah Buff went up to the
Speaker 1: car with his stalker in it. No, Shilah Buff, I
Speaker 1: guess it's had some stalker for a while. And he
Speaker 1: went up to the stalker's car, right to her window,
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, stop, you're scaring me. You're scaring
Speaker 1: my family, you're scaring the people who love me, and
Speaker 1: I want you to stop. And she's just like oh,
Speaker 1: you know, she's just completely beside herself that Shila Buff
Speaker 1: is actually speaking with her. And then somebody said this
Speaker 1: woman has been stalking him for years and they linked
Speaker 1: her Instagram and her whole instagram is talking about like
Speaker 1: he loves me, We're gonna be together. And I thought,
Speaker 1: is it a bad move that your stalker is only
Speaker 1: going to be more.
Speaker 10: Like?
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna like it's gonna give them more
Speaker 1: confidence if you actually interact with them. I know the
Speaker 1: cops would say, don't do this right like rhaps would
Speaker 1: be like, do not feed into this person's delusions. But
Speaker 1: he went out there and he was like talking to
Speaker 1: this woman in her car, and I imagine that they
Speaker 1: would not be thrilled about him doing that.
Speaker 2: But exposure therapy, I don't know if that works.
Speaker 1: You can play this he doesn't curk can I Okay,
Speaker 1: let me see I'll have to do on this man.
Speaker 1: You're scaring me and my family.
Speaker 5: There's a community note on it that says the woman
Speaker 5: recording is schizophrenic, schizophra schizophrenic and believes she is married
Speaker 5: to the actor Shilah Buff seen in the video. She
Speaker 5: needs serious help. I think so Usually when you hear
Speaker 5: a stalker, it's guy on girl right, it's a Taylor
Speaker 5: Swift area are in a grande. A lot of these
Speaker 5: pop femail singers pop stars have had stalkers and have
Speaker 5: had to take legal trouble. I think for Shilah buff
Speaker 5: it's probably less dangerous to confront them, but you do
Speaker 5: run the risk of kind of confirming whatever crazy idea
Speaker 5: they have in their head by talking to them. But
Speaker 5: I mean, if she's schizophrenic, you did better just hope
Speaker 5: that there's not something else going on where she thinks,
Speaker 5: Like if she got scared, she gets all stabby or something.
Speaker 1: Well, that could happen too, You'd never know. Mark on
Speaker 1: YouTube says, she'll just stalk harder. Here's the audio, you see.

Speaker 1: It's what we came today. It is today. I learned
Speaker 1: for a Wednesday, July fifteen, twenty twenty six. Today learned
Speaker 1: this guy right here. That's right Michael Jackson. Indeed, his
Speaker 1: high pitched voice was not his natural voice. His natural
Speaker 1: voice was much deeper than the one he presented in public,
Speaker 1: which would have been hilarious to hear. You were ever
Speaker 1: hanging out with my Jackson and he did something like,
Speaker 1: you know, Michael Jackson that very high pitch voice, and
Speaker 1: for really it was like, oh if he had a
Speaker 1: nice deep voice on there. I think there is like
Speaker 1: video of him using his not so magne Jackson voice.
Speaker 1: I think somewhere. Really. The only thing is I think
Speaker 1: he says the N word in it. Shut up.
Speaker 5: I think it was like like there is some video
Speaker 5: on YouTube that was like Michael Jackson caught on tape
Speaker 5: using the N word. There's no way we can get
Speaker 5: him this tomorrow.
Speaker 21: Man.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I spent our last
Speaker 1: minute on Michael Jackson saying the N word. If we
Speaker 1: were gunna. Though. Today I learned this band right here,
Speaker 1: that's right, the Foo Fighters. In twenty fifteen, one thousand
Speaker 1: musicians gathered to play this song Learned to Fly all together,
Speaker 1: and they had a plate with the Food Fighters please
Speaker 1: come and play along with them up. They took them
Speaker 1: up on it back in twenty fifteen, and we're part
Speaker 1: of a record with over a thousand people playing along
