Speaker 1: You know what this all means? What does it mean?
Speaker 1: It's time friends for a share the show Tuesday? Yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: that means you share the show along with us here
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday. And it's easy for you to do.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is tell somebody about the show,
Speaker 1: the podcast, the live stream, I don't know, whatever you
Speaker 1: want to do, just share the word about the News
Speaker 1: Junkie in this very radio station we want you to
Speaker 1: hang out with us today, and we got a lot
Speaker 1: to show you along the way. One thing I wanted
Speaker 1: to mention right off the rip here see Lane, was
Speaker 1: you know I have to go back to go forward
Speaker 1: on this very quickly a small story. Uh. Some time ago,
Speaker 1: I was in my studio here and in front of me,
Speaker 1: you know, I've got all there's equipments we have. We
Speaker 1: have screens on screens, on screens. Okay, there's so many.
Speaker 1: Just shopping for new screens. I think like, what could
Speaker 1: I put if I got this, What can I put
Speaker 1: on it? What can I put on this screen? I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of them around here. And and that's
Speaker 1: just the way it kind of is in the industry
Speaker 1: and where we're going technologically. I think we are probably
Speaker 1: the most advanced radio show on planet Earth. Literally, I
Speaker 1: think that's the truth. I don't think I'm exaggerating here. Now.
Speaker 1: A long time ago, well not that long ago, but
Speaker 1: earlier this year, as I was doing the show, I
Speaker 1: looked down and there was a tiny spider staring back
Speaker 1: at me on my broadcast desk. Oh no, what's wrong now?
Speaker 1: And the tiny little spider made its way over to
Speaker 1: me and I freaked out in the middle of this
Speaker 1: segment and I slapped it. I smashed the spider and
Speaker 1: killed it on my broadcast desk here in my studio.
Speaker 1: And almost immediately after that, bad luck started to appear everywhere.
Speaker 1: I had just streaks of bad luck after streaks of
Speaker 1: bad luck. I've had situations you would not believe that
Speaker 1: I've been dealing with. It's been a wild ride, and
Speaker 1: hence the spider curse really truly took cold here on
Speaker 1: the show. Now, as of today, there's a brand new,
Speaker 1: very very limited Magnet, the News Junkie Magnet. Spider Curse
Speaker 1: has been dropped. Now you can get if you subscribe
Speaker 1: right now to Secret Shows and claim that is your
Speaker 1: gift after you subscribe, or if you gift if you're
Speaker 1: already a subscriber, if you gift a subscription or multiple
Speaker 1: subscriptions to somebody else today. That's the good news. The
Speaker 1: bad news is there's only one hundred of them ever.
Speaker 1: And the other bad news is it comes along with
Speaker 1: the spider curse itself. I've taken the stack of magnets,
Speaker 1: I've rubbed it in the spot where the spider case started.
Speaker 1: Why would you try to curse the good people. I
Speaker 1: view it this way, Celane. If they put it on
Speaker 1: their refrigerator at home and hide it, well, then they
Speaker 1: have the spider curse. If not, if somebody pulls it
Speaker 1: off their car Game of Magnet style, they don't have
Speaker 1: the spider curse. But the person who steals their magnet
Speaker 1: and Game of Magnets does what if they so they
Speaker 1: put the magnet on their car? Yes? Or Game of Magnets? Yes,
Speaker 1: is the car cursed? Now? The car is not cursed,
Speaker 1: that's just in play. But if you take the magnet,
Speaker 1: the curse is transferred to you. That's the best way
Speaker 1: I could think of to get rid of this. The
Speaker 1: other bad news is over half of them are gone already. Okay,
Speaker 1: I put out one hundred. Over half of them are
Speaker 1: gone right now, Meep says, finally, get again. He's trying
Speaker 1: to get rid of the curse and pawned off on us. Yes, true, yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's what's happening, And so far those are are going
Speaker 1: pretty fast. So make a move. I will tell you.
Speaker 1: I'll go through all the people who have gifted subscriptions
Speaker 1: at some point during the show. I'm not gonna hit
Speaker 1: you with all of those right now, because they're coming
Speaker 1: in fast and furious. But if you want to get
Speaker 1: a premium subscription on the news junki Dot comment in
Speaker 1: the app that unlocks secret shows, now's your time. There's
Speaker 1: a ton of them. There's a ton of them. Let's
Speaker 1: get started here. Let's put our ears to the ground,
Speaker 1: our fingers on the pulse. Let's see what's happening in
Speaker 1: this great, big, wide world of ours. And we go
Speaker 1: to a woman driving her vehicle see lane, and there's
Speaker 1: just one little problem. She's got a tire completely and
Speaker 1: totally missing. And this on there if you, if you
Speaker 1: look really closely, there's just no air. There's no air.
Speaker 1: There's a little rubber around the rim at this point
Speaker 1: for the air to go. And I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: this is bad for the female drivers out there. This
Speaker 1: is not going to help this. And then the guy
Speaker 1: knows it, who's filming this for God's sake, But here's
Speaker 1: what happened. Let's listen in. But it sounds like you
Speaker 1: have no tire. God, So they're they're traveling around. This
Speaker 1: woman is behind them in her van. She has the wheel.
Speaker 1: The tire on her car is down to just the
Speaker 1: rim you can hear that on the asphalt. And the
Speaker 1: guy's trying to make a funny video and she realizes
Speaker 1: she's being video tape. Let's make cons it. Will you
Speaker 1: help this go viral? We're just trying to put a No,
Speaker 1: he says, see, is she even Spanish? I thought she
Speaker 1: was Asian?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Is she kind of the driving, but on account of
Speaker 1: I just thought she looked Asian, you don't think so
Speaker 1: she sounds Spanish. She stops. Eventually she gets mad at
Speaker 1: him for videotaping her. She's like, you know, pussy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's part of why she sounded Spanish. She the
Speaker 1: way she said stupid mf R. And then she said,
Speaker 1: you stupid bussy. I thought she was Asian? Who knows?
Speaker 1: We can't tell. She's just sitting in everybody's Asian posy.
Speaker 1: Will you help this go viral? We're just trying to
Speaker 1: put air in your sir. No, no, C C C.
Speaker 1: Yes see right here was a little bit of air.
Speaker 1: It was. The tire is gone. It's just a wait
Speaker 1: when the tire starts folding like that, He gets low
Speaker 1: on tire pressure and mileage. Looks how it ruined that
Speaker 1: rim already is like she kept driving on it. People,
Speaker 1: And I mean I say this for all people. I
Speaker 1: say this to all of you with all of the
Speaker 1: peace and all of the love, men, women and yellow,
Speaker 1: black and white, because let's be real, half of you
Speaker 1: guys can't change a tire if you had a gun
Speaker 1: to your head. Let's not pretend like women don't know
Speaker 1: how to drive and I do to get out of here.
Speaker 1: Half of you have no idea. I saw a guy
Speaker 1: the other day, true story. He went to an Advanced
Speaker 1: Auto Parts and then he said I needed an oil change,
Speaker 1: and he just takes out the bolt on his oil
Speaker 1: pan and lets all the oil drain. He doesn't know
Speaker 1: where it's training. It just drains into the parking lot
Speaker 1: of the Advanced Auto Parts while he pours more oil
Speaker 1: in on top, which summarily just falls right back through
Speaker 1: the hole that he's opened up. This is less than
Speaker 1: four hist scump intellect actually that we're dealing with here.
Speaker 1: So this is not a men versus women thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is really truly a lot of people are dumb
Speaker 1: about cars. When your tire is flat, stop all right,
Speaker 1: stop seewitch has a point here. Triple A is like
Speaker 1: thirty nine dollars a year. Ffs, yes, yes, just stop
Speaker 1: when your tire is like this. Good God, I've done
Speaker 1: it before. It's not a good idea. Then you don't
Speaker 1: just need a tire, you need a rim and then
Speaker 1: you might need like other rims. God only knows what's
Speaker 1: going on. The thing that I truly regret about modern society.
Speaker 1: I sound like the unibomber right now. The thing that
Speaker 1: I truly regret about modern society, and I mean this
Speaker 1: with all of my heart, is that kids are no
Speaker 1: longer growing up with two things. One the information and
Speaker 1: ability to drive with a stick shift, the manual transmission.
Speaker 1: It's gone, it's over with. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: there's any cars you could buy with stick shifts anymore.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows how to drive a manual. I have much
Speaker 1: good authority that it's a very very small percentage of cars.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. And they used to be able to get these.
Speaker 1: It used to be a cheaper option in many cases.
Speaker 1: In fact, most cars used to have this. But now
Speaker 1: you can't get it. And this second thing, and this
Speaker 1: is truly the way. It's worse than little toddlers with
Speaker 1: iPads all the time. No young people are learning what
Speaker 1: I learned and what so many people learn growing up,
Speaker 1: what you learn growing up, and that is, if you
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of money, you have to learn
Speaker 1: to fix your car. You have to learn how to
Speaker 1: change the oil. You have to learn how to replace
Speaker 1: the brake pads. You have to learn what happens when
Speaker 1: your tire is flat, and then how to go get
Speaker 1: used retreaded tires because they're cheaper because you don't have
Speaker 1: that much money. You get what I'm saying, like this
Speaker 1: is a like these are valuable piece of information. But
Speaker 1: now our cars drive themselves, and you know people have
Speaker 1: run flat tires on expensive vehicles. Oh my god. The
Speaker 1: pp poople man says, wait till you find out these
Speaker 1: people vote. I wish they couldn't. I wish I could
Speaker 1: take away the voting rights of people just at random.
Speaker 1: When I look and see stuff like this, I'm like, no, no, ain't,
Speaker 1: no way. Your vote should mean as much as mine.
Speaker 1: No shot that should happen. So there you go. That
Speaker 1: starts us off on the show. Today. We have a
Speaker 1: story that pussy, We have a story that people will
Speaker 1: not stop sending to me, and I'm just gonna play
Speaker 1: it to get it over with. I'm just gonna play
Speaker 1: the story the bodycam footage from this to get it
Speaker 1: over with, because you guys just will not stop. I
Speaker 1: have more questions about our food industry and are you
Speaker 1: trusting your food? As a video has gone megaviral in
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, we'll check in on the
Speaker 1: spider Curse magnets and see how many there are left,
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more real quick, I want to
Speaker 1: point a couple of things out. You can email the
Speaker 1: show tips tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. Tips at
Speaker 1: the Newsjunkie dot com. As Bandit says first generation to
Speaker 1: be dumber than the previous, maybe right? Is that true?
Speaker 1: First generation to be dumber than the previous? Is probably
Speaker 1: true about certain things, like they can't read and write.
Speaker 1: Half of these kids in certain schools. True, they can't
Speaker 1: read and write. They can't. We learned that they can't
Speaker 1: like summarize small portions of texts, like a couple of
Speaker 1: pages of text. They can't read that and then summarize
Speaker 1: it well. If they have anxiety, sean, they can't read books.
Speaker 1: They can they can't read in general. They can't change
Speaker 1: the tire pressure in their tires, they don't know how
Speaker 1: to change the oil or I don't know. All of
Speaker 1: that seems bad, but I sound like an old man.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're young and you're listening. You're like Sean, I
Speaker 1: can do all of those. Please restore my faith in
Speaker 1: the youth now. I have faith in the youths for
Speaker 1: so many things. You guys are smart as hell. It's
Speaker 1: so many things, and you're so good at so many things.
Speaker 1: But I'm just pointing out the things are not good at. Now.
Speaker 1: Would you be on my side with this part, because
Speaker 1: I okay, fine, I want to know that a manly man,
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, it's right to be off before I
Speaker 1: don't know, uh no, I learned, you know, early on
Speaker 1: from my dad changing a tire, how to change a tire.
Speaker 1: I've never changed my own oil, but there's plenty of
Speaker 1: things on a car that I've done myself. I've replaced
Speaker 1: window actuators on a car after a that's advanced he
Speaker 1: hit a pothole and broke them. But that was something
Speaker 1: we did on YouTube, and it was actually quite fun
Speaker 1: to like take stuff apart and figure it out. The
Speaker 1: tire thing, though, while I've done that, it's a handful
Speaker 1: of times, in times where it's needed. I no longer
Speaker 1: desire to do that. Yeah, I know, but that's doesn't
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you don't want to do anything
Speaker 1: any longer if you know how to do it, Like
Speaker 1: you don't have to do certain things, but you have.
Speaker 1: You've earned the knowledge, and you are able to do
Speaker 1: them if you needed to. Right. But for instance, if
Speaker 1: you and your family were driving along, got Jackson in
Speaker 1: a car seat, you got your lovely wife in the
Speaker 1: passenger seat, and you get a flat tire, you might go, hey,
Speaker 1: I know how to do this. I've done it before.
Speaker 1: I went through that time. But I also have triple A.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna call him right now. My family's gonna
Speaker 1: sit in the nice air conditioning, Jackson's gonna watch a
Speaker 1: show on the tablet. Nobody will even know that anything
Speaker 1: happened here. You earned that, right, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like a write a passage in some ways. All right,
Speaker 1: A couple of things. Jill emails the show tips at
Speaker 1: the news junkie dot com. Hey junkies, I'm an Arizona
Speaker 1: podcast listener. You guys get me through my Monday through
Speaker 1: Wednesday work week hates Thursdays and Fridays. Apparently, just no,
Speaker 1: that's the work week you got down of the three
Speaker 1: day work week. Who good for you. I can't believe
Speaker 1: that's how you took it. Like, oh gosh, they know
Speaker 1: like Thursday and Friday. It just said, you get me
Speaker 1: through my Monday through wedbsy work week. So I thought
Speaker 1: somebody else Fridays. I'm catching up on your show, and
Speaker 1: I just listened to Friday's episode. I have a porta
Speaker 1: potty story about a friend who lost her phone and
Speaker 1: wallet in one during a festival in northwest Indiana. She's
Speaker 1: a successful attorney owns a practice there in Indiana. As
Speaker 1: she stood outside the porta potty for a few minutes
Speaker 1: contemplating retrieving the phone or wallet, but then decided it
Speaker 1: wasn't worth it. She spent a few days after the
Speaker 1: concert canceling cards, getting a new phone in a new
Speaker 1: driver's license. Then, one day, shortly after, she received a
Speaker 1: phone call at her office. It was the porta potty
Speaker 1: company saying they found her phone and wallet and she
Speaker 1: could pick it up at her convenience. Apparently do that.
Speaker 1: I'd never heard this before. Apparently, after the porta potties
Speaker 1: are used. The company flushes it through some system that
Speaker 1: has a filtering system to retrieve non flushable items. She
Speaker 1: said they were so nice that she felt obligated to
Speaker 1: pick it up. They had it nicely packaged in a
Speaker 1: ziplock bag. After offering them a small reward for their effort,
Speaker 1: she took the back to her office and placed it
Speaker 1: in a dumpster. It was one of our greatest concert memories.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being so entertaining. A wiggle wiggle, pop Pop,
Speaker 1: says Jill. Thank you for the email. Jim. You know,
Speaker 1: we talked about the guy in the porta potty who
Speaker 1: said he was retrieving his mountain dew, which sounded absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. But of all the things that you think
Speaker 1: you might go back for, you know, Josh shut his dog,
Speaker 1: which makes sense if it was a living being. You
Speaker 1: know though, you would probably think think a little more
Speaker 1: towards the the option of going into the portabody, at
Speaker 1: least reaching down to night. The phone is hard, man,
Speaker 1: the phone. I know that you think that there's like
Speaker 1: it's not enough for me. I'm not getting in there
Speaker 1: getting a phone. Yeah, But like as somebody who was
Speaker 1: separated from my phone at a music festival where I
Speaker 1: was going to be for another couple of days. It
Speaker 1: was very isolating of a feeling, and like, he'll be okay,
Speaker 1: You're You're gonna be okay. You'll figure out how to
Speaker 1: get back home. You'll survive. But you'll never survive that,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, reaching down and grabbing that,
Speaker 1: having that all over your hands. You can wash your
Speaker 1: hand one hundred thousand times. There are people who do
Speaker 1: this for a living, I know, and those people cannot
Speaker 1: shake hands with me. Just for the record, all right,
Speaker 1: people have shaken hands with you. Don't those people have
Speaker 1: shaken hands with you. No, these people are listeners. Today
Speaker 1: is a good day. This is a good day. The
Speaker 1: spider curse is being shipped off to the listeners. Today
Speaker 1: is a good day. All right. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll get into the body cam video. You will not
Speaker 1: stop sending me, so we will watch it just to
Speaker 1: make this stop and save my inbox a little bit.
Speaker 1: We'll get to another story that shocked me today. Some
Speaker 1: more of your emails about mailbox money and do we
Speaker 1: trust the food supply. That's all just in the first
Speaker 1: hour of a busy show today on a share the
Speaker 1: show Tuesday, and it's coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 1: It makes no sense, Selin, How does it make sense
Speaker 1: that so many people want this spider curse magnet? When
Speaker 1: I told them it comes with a piece of the
Speaker 1: curse from the studio. That seems like you wouldn't want that.
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't believe you. I mean, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I don't believe in curses. Here's one
Speaker 1: of the few remaining right here, the spider curse as
Speaker 1: cool as how and I take it. And this is
Speaker 1: the exact spot on my broadcast desk where the spider
Speaker 1: was killed that started the curse. And I rubbed each
Speaker 1: of them on this. So when you have it in
Speaker 1: your possession, if you want to put it on your
Speaker 1: refrigerators to know whatever steals it, put it in your
Speaker 1: personal collection, that's fine. But the spider curse comes along
Speaker 1: with it. It's just how it goes. There's not a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of those left. I'll check on them in
Speaker 1: a bit over on thenewsjunki dot com. You will not
Speaker 1: stop sending me this bodycam footage that's gone explosively viral
Speaker 1: over the last four or five days. So I'm just
Speaker 1: going to play it, so everybody calms down, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play this and then we're gonna move along.
Speaker 1: This is this student at UCF University of Central Florida,
Speaker 1: identified as twenty seven year old Jarrett Vic, who was
Speaker 1: in an interaction with a police officer on the campus.
Speaker 1: I know this one and viral. The cop is like
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on here? And people will
Speaker 1: not stop emailing messaging direct messaging links these you guys talk,
Speaker 1: you guys got to talk about this, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just some weirdo, like do we
Speaker 1: really need to but they're demanding it. So this this
Speaker 1: happened last year, but it was just released and started
Speaker 1: to go viral on Friday. A police officer shows up
Speaker 1: to a campus and then this blue haired University of
Speaker 1: Central Florida student twenty seven years old, a student almost
Speaker 1: old as a court was when she was going to
Speaker 1: uc F. You know, vary is you're a very old student.
Speaker 1: They thought she was a teacher for a short period
Speaker 1: of time because she had been there for yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: they did. They were like, do you get the teacher's discount?
Speaker 1: You know, she's still young, but you know, older than
Speaker 1: some of the students there at one point in time.
Speaker 1: But here's the footage they want to stop sending to me.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be if you don't lower your voice,
Speaker 1: that's a student going to put handcuffs on you and
Speaker 1: I'm going to take you to a bakery facility. Low
Speaker 1: your voice, ryot, are you threatening me? I like the
Speaker 1: triat triat? What is the threat delivery mechanism with the trias? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: your bravery is about to evaporate? Are threading me? I'm
Speaker 1: here right now to deal with a stolen vehicle. I
Speaker 1: ain't got time to hear you screaming and yelling. I
Speaker 1: don't have time to constantly be abused. We'll get We'll
Speaker 1: get OPD downe here then, because I gotta I gotta work, bro,
Speaker 1: What do you mean? What do you mean OPD? You
Speaker 1: might have put this together. That's Orlando Police Department. Since
Speaker 1: they're in Central Florida at the you know, at the
Speaker 1: school Central Florida, University of Central Florida. What is the
Speaker 1: flex of getting OPD to deal with it? Like it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm campus police. I'll leave the real police to you.
Speaker 1: Or the meaner police to you, or the cop who's
Speaker 1: on campus with this blue haired, blue haired weirdo is
Speaker 1: like protesting all of this. The cop that's on campus
Speaker 1: is there because somebody's vehicle was stolen. Somebody's vehicle was stolen,
Speaker 1: and that's what the cop is there for, which is like, okay,
Speaker 1: that's legit.
Speaker 2: Can we get another unit to deal with the jay
Speaker 2: lee here he is having a breakdown.
Speaker 1: Oh God, say that right road? Now, would you say?
Speaker 1: The cop pulled out the pepper spray. So this person
Speaker 1: said she because the cop said he, and I guess
Speaker 1: this like this Jared Vic is identifying as transgender or something,
Speaker 1: so that's what the screeching was about. And the cop goes, okay,
Speaker 1: now comes the pepper spray. Get down on the ground
Speaker 1: right now. No, no, buddy spray, no right now. You
Speaker 1: can't hide in the mail room. This is so funny.
Speaker 1: It seems like an absolute bit, Like if you did
Speaker 1: this on Reno nine one one, they might reject the
Speaker 1: episode and go nah, the blue haired haired kid, grown
Speaker 1: man twenty seven years old, the brew blue haired person,
Speaker 1: blue haired adult is going to be too over the
Speaker 1: top and people aren't going to believe that this person
Speaker 1: is legitimate. Don't think it's acting. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: you want it to be more real, even for Reno
Speaker 1: nine one one. And that's how over the top it is.
Speaker 1: I don't down.
Speaker 3: I will you know what?
Speaker 1: You get the pipers right out of my face alone?
Speaker 4: I have.
Speaker 5: You'll do.
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna take the wig off? Is that a wig?
Speaker 1: I didn't even know. I just assumed it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, somebody in their twenties dying their hair. It
Speaker 1: looks like it could be a wig. Maybe it is.
Speaker 1: And somebody says, the blue hair dude is Cartman? A
Speaker 1: little bit of Cartman vibes? Yes, what in the hell? Hello?
Speaker 1: Do you want to get tasted? Can I weigh in?
Speaker 1: Because I would like this person to get tased if
Speaker 1: I if I have a vote, I'm I'm for tasing. Please.
Speaker 1: I think that that might be something here. Just keep
Speaker 1: in mind. And the cop is here for a stolen car,
Speaker 1: not to bother a bunch of immigrants or something. The
Speaker 1: cop is on campus for a stolen vehicle investigation. Come on, guys,
Speaker 1: please fix her. The cobins on campus for a stolen
Speaker 1: stolen vehicle investigation. It is kind of funny that you
Speaker 1: tried to hide in the mailroom. Guy, if you come down,
Speaker 1: that's towards want set up down And I got ye, Well,
Speaker 1: this is an adult. This person is twenty seven years old.
Speaker 1: What like, how how are you going to I saw
Speaker 1: one of the comments said, these are the people who
Speaker 1: are are trying to defend Palestine in the camp. Take
Speaker 1: the pressure of this. I don't know if there's any
Speaker 1: lineup with that here with this person, but if you can't,
Speaker 1: here's where I would put it. I would go this person.
Speaker 1: If you can't just take the sight of a police
Speaker 1: officer or somebody saying like key instead of when you
Speaker 1: want she, You're not going to be able to make
Speaker 1: it in the real world. It's brutal out there. You go,
Speaker 1: you gotta be a little tougher than that, every little
Speaker 1: one of you, every single one of you out there.
Speaker 1: I don't care what your background is, where you're from.
Speaker 1: You got to have a little bit of a backbone
Speaker 1: because all of us know, all of us people who
Speaker 1: just go through life, We know that there are difficult
Speaker 1: times and you cannot be this fragile. You have to
Speaker 1: be a little stiffer than this. This is a total meltdown. God,
Speaker 1: put the focus on me. This person's trying to calm down.
Speaker 1: The blue haired person, tell me where to go, top top,
Speaker 1: you're a top Wait, you can't be so brave as
Speaker 1: to take on the police and also like so shaky
Speaker 1: at the same time. Does it work for me? You
Speaker 1: either have to be alpha or not alpha. And I
Speaker 1: don't know why you're being alpha when somebody's just investigating
Speaker 1: a stolen car. That seems like it would be a
Speaker 1: fine thing to me. This person was never told no
Speaker 1: by their parents. That's probably the case. Yeah, they were
Speaker 1: told you're very special. You're very very special, and no
Speaker 1: one should ever refuse anything that you ask. He's going
Speaker 1: to be taken away. Oh no, funny. I just want
Speaker 1: to get away from him. He doing it? Does say,
Speaker 1: say he's putting gloves on? What is this for? What
Speaker 1: do the gloves do? Please? Right rooms. All the employees
Speaker 1: at the school, and that's what this was film the
Speaker 1: University of Central Florida. This twenty seven year old person.
Speaker 1: All of the employees of the school are like, oh God,
Speaker 1: oh boy, what what am I doing? It's causing a
Speaker 1: lot of distress. All you got to do is mind
Speaker 1: your own business.
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna ask you very nicely, put your stuff down,
Speaker 6: turn around, put your hands behind your back.
Speaker 1: Well, what is the person? I guess. I guess not
Speaker 1: following the instructions of the police officer. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's a good but that's a good point. But I
Speaker 1: think maybe maybe they would say interfering with an investigation,
Speaker 1: because the cop was there to try to investigate. But honestly,
Speaker 1: if I'm the guy with a missing car I saw this,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, all right, man, I'll get a new car.
Speaker 1: What was he arrested for? See if you can find
Speaker 1: this out the it's Jarrett j R. R. E T T.
Speaker 1: I got it. Put your stuff now, put your hands
Speaker 1: behind your back. No is this little goth star in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. You can, you can record all you want,
Speaker 1: but it's a very beyond that point. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: We we we we really try to help you.
Speaker 3: So no, it didn't.
Speaker 1: Yes, you can't bed with hostile attempt, but you came
Speaker 1: with hostile attempt. Yeah intent maybe right now, now he's
Speaker 1: on the run, john't hurt me. No, shut cop, the cop.
Speaker 1: The cop is now raising his voice though it's like
Speaker 1: a good girl. All right, So the arrest report says
Speaker 1: charge details disorderly conduct, Yeah, a second degree misdemeanor, Resisting
Speaker 1: officer without violence, first degree misdemeanor. And then I guess
Speaker 1: we're about to see the third degree felony of battery
Speaker 1: on a law enforcement Oh no, this this person actually
Speaker 1: hits the cop. Oh no, all right, this is resisting arrest.
Speaker 1: Resisting without even like a physical altercation, just like walking
Speaker 1: away or just like saying no. I think this was
Speaker 1: so preventable. Dude, still running. This is so over the top.
Speaker 1: YouTube dot com, slash the news junkie. If you want
Speaker 1: to see what's going on here, I'll put it up
Speaker 1: on see it now after? Is that it.
Speaker 7: All?
Speaker 1: I think they've got this person secured. But how there's
Speaker 1: so much more of this video? I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: want to watch the same thing over and over and
Speaker 1: over again. I think that's it. Yeah, they've arrested them,
Speaker 1: all right, So that, I guess is going megaviral. It
Speaker 1: has been clogging up my inbox, it says a newly
Speaker 1: released US police bodycam footage video show trans student Jarrett
Speaker 1: vic arrested after melting down. These people do not belong
Speaker 1: in society. This person says, this is just somebody reposting,
Speaker 1: and I guess this is a rumble user. So hence
Speaker 1: the charged language that they've got there. Anyhow, Okay, you
Speaker 1: can stop sending that to me, please, for the sake
Speaker 1: of God. All right, we've seen it. We've seen it.
Speaker 1: Thank you. So this was downtown at the Downtown campus.
Speaker 1: I thought it looked different than when I got outside.
Speaker 1: I was like, that doesn't look like campus campus. But
Speaker 1: this was yeah, down on Livingston. I was a sign
Speaker 1: of patrol the downtown campus. Vick was yelling and being
Speaker 1: belligerent with officer Dan Riley, causing a disruption in the
Speaker 1: main lobby. For those of you who don't know, the
Speaker 1: University of Central Florida is a very very very very
Speaker 1: very big college. Sea Lane went there, one of the
Speaker 1: biggest in the country. I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, Sea
Speaker 1: Lane is one of their most notable students. They he's
Speaker 1: like there, it's not like Kim Jong un style, but
Speaker 1: there are many paintings of him around the campus. And
Speaker 1: what I hear, that's what people have said, So he's
Speaker 1: famous around those parts. Shouts out to you over there
Speaker 1: UCF today, fellow, they are all right, thank you for that.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that that happened on your campus. But maybe
Speaker 1: it's all resolved.

Speaker 1: All right, quick break. When we come back, we have
Speaker 1: to get to a stunning piece of news that has
Speaker 1: just crossed my desk. Some of your emails and should
Speaker 1: we trust what's happening with food in our country? A
Speaker 1: really interesting twist on that is coming up next on
Speaker 1: the news Chunky, who has gifted subscriptions premium subscriptions over
Speaker 1: on the news junkie dot com to other users. If

Speaker 1: want you to do is make your way over to

Speaker 1: subscriptions because there's a ton of them available right now.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 1: As far as the magnets, the Spider Curse magnets, there's
Speaker 1: only a handful. And I just got a text message
Speaker 1: from our friend Jack Bradshaw and he said, can you
Speaker 1: save one of those? Because there was only one hundred
Speaker 1: to begin with. Then Courtney took four for the archives.
Speaker 1: That's ninety six. Is he sure though?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: Oh the curse? Because I know what he wants. I
Speaker 1: know what he wants it for too. Yeah, he wants
Speaker 1: it for a great cause. For majority first the silent
Speaker 1: auction Jack. Every year Jack takes these the news junkie
Speaker 1: magnets and does this beautiful collage and it makes a
Speaker 1: ton of money every year for this game of magnets
Speaker 1: entry for a charity event. And he wanted one of
Speaker 1: these as I'll give you the one in the studio.
Speaker 1: So that brings down to ninety five. And now I
Speaker 1: think a lot of them are gone. There's a couple
Speaker 1: left if you want to if you want to grab one,
Speaker 1: but do it at your own risk. I'm warning you
Speaker 1: ahead of time. I think that's an important thing. Real
Speaker 1: quick before we get into this. Uh, check your text messages.
Speaker 1: I just sent you thank you to the tipster on
Speaker 1: the texting service who has settled the wig or no
Speaker 1: wig debate from the last seconent's video for the bodycam
Speaker 1: footage from the college. Yes, okay, wig, wig was the answer?
Speaker 1: Then wig? Yeah? Yeah, hold on what happened there? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a this is the individual without the wig on.
Speaker 1: You know, I think this person's having a rough go
Speaker 1: at it there. They need, they need a little break,
Speaker 1: a little relaxation. The first thing the guy said was
Speaker 1: Baker act might not have been the worst idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that seems like it could be in the
Speaker 1: cards and maybe that's, you know, potentially a good idea
Speaker 1: for somebody in this situation. All right, I got to
Speaker 1: get into a couple of your emails. I wanted to
Speaker 1: share something with you very quickly before that. We should
Speaker 1: be having a guest joining us in the next hour
Speaker 1: in a little bit here, which would be interesting. But
Speaker 1: there is this woman. She has a GoFundMe. We'll see
Speaker 1: if Stilan could find the GoFundMe for this lady. Here's
Speaker 1: the story as I have it. I play this clip
Speaker 1: for you in a bit. A Louisiana woman suffered a
Speaker 1: catastrophic genital injury in Honduras. She had to be air
Speaker 1: evact back to the United States of America from Honduras,
Speaker 1: which cost her fifty thousand dollars. All right, now, I
Speaker 1: want to throw this out there for a bunch of reasons,
Speaker 1: But ladies, I have to know I did and realized
Speaker 1: that this was quite as big of a risk for you.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows you kick a guy in the genitals and
Speaker 1: there's that wave of pain and it's a tough time,
Speaker 1: and you know, things get tough. I've seen women fighting
Speaker 1: and trying to kick each other in the same way,
Speaker 1: but I always thought, well, it's not gonna do the
Speaker 1: level of damage that it would do to a man.
Speaker 1: But in this case. The woman's name is Kirsten Lindsay
Speaker 1: CELN kr st N Lindsay, and she was injured during
Speaker 1: a daytime excursion on day three of a carnival cruise.
Speaker 1: I hope it was an official sanctioned excursion. Lindsay when
Speaker 1: she tried to release herself from a rope swing, she
Speaker 1: fell on an apparent retrieval line that got stuck. Lindsay
Speaker 1: and her boyfriend say the injury began to swell, so
Speaker 1: it got her right in the crotch, and the injury
Speaker 1: began to swell. After trying to walk it off, she
Speaker 1: eventually needed a wheelchair. My god, according to her gofund
Speaker 1: me again. I'll play the video a second. The pain
Speaker 1: became so bad that Lindsay could barely move and her
Speaker 1: breathing would stop when she started falling asleep. My god.
Speaker 1: As the pain worsen, it was recommended she'd be evacuated
Speaker 1: at the United States, which costs her about fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: She's had one surgery accorded her is gonna have a
Speaker 1: second one. I'm gonamute this because the person on the
Speaker 1: video curses. You could watch at YouTube dot com Slash
Speaker 1: the news junkie. Here's what happened to this lady. Remember
Speaker 1: she's on a carnival cruise line and she's on what
Speaker 1: are the excursions, and she's doing a zip line or
Speaker 1: like a rope thing. And when she does it, here
Speaker 1: she goes. She got the rope. It's not a rope
Speaker 1: zip line, like a long rope hanging off a zipline thing.
Speaker 1: She's going to go off the edge and when she does,
Speaker 1: she falls on like a guide line or a guideline,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say. And it does indeed get
Speaker 1: her in the crotch. When she falls, she falls on
Speaker 1: a wire below her. She only falls a couple of feet. Really,
Speaker 1: she doesn't fall that far. It's sort of like a
Speaker 1: tight rope blind like a slack line that's below her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but she she's putting her entire weight on it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's she falls directly on it. I did not know
Speaker 1: that a female could do that much damage that you
Speaker 1: would have to go to the hospital, that you would
Speaker 1: have to get She's had multiple surgeries, for God's sake.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is much worse than I ever thought
Speaker 1: it would be, and she really hurt herself. At first,
Speaker 1: people were kind of laughing because you just see this
Speaker 1: woman and she's about to have fun on a rope
Speaker 1: swing thing, and then very quickly you see, oh she
Speaker 1: doesn't make it. No, that's funny. She drops on her crotch.
Speaker 1: But I guess it was way worse. Did you find
Speaker 1: her gofund me seeling? Yeah, and it's weird. You said
Speaker 1: that it was fifty thousand dollars to airlift her back
Speaker 1: to Louisiana or to wherever she was having medical attention done.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. The go fundme is only the goal is
Speaker 1: only set to six grand. Okay, Then there went on,
Speaker 1: they're eighty four percent there. They've raised thirteen four and
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars helped bring Kristin home after a devastating
Speaker 1: cruise accident. So maybe she's not home. Maybe they got
Speaker 1: her to a to somewhere in the US. What was
Speaker 1: supposed to be Kristen's Kirsten excuse me, Kirsten's first cruise
Speaker 1: turned into the worst experience of our lives. Day three
Speaker 1: of our carnival cruise on the Punt the Brim, Kirsten
Speaker 1: was seriously injured during a rope swing excursion. Based on
Speaker 1: what we witnessed, a retrieval slash tagline appears to have
Speaker 1: been improperly connected to the swing. As she swung out,
Speaker 1: the line tight between her legs just before she dropped,
Speaker 1: causing catastrophic injury. At first, she thought it was only
Speaker 1: a scratch. She even walked back to our transportation trying
Speaker 1: to laugh through the pain. Within hours, the swelling became severe,
Speaker 1: pain unbearable. She needed a wheelchair just to get back
Speaker 1: to the cabin. I called nine to one one from
Speaker 1: the ship. She was rushed to the medical center. Doctors
Speaker 1: treated her for hours. Swelling continued to worsen until it
Speaker 1: reached roughly the size of a baseball. Okay, wow, first
Speaker 1: of all, a baseball. That's why somebody just chatted over
Speaker 1: a TJ chat. I think they said, what does she
Speaker 1: have a paper vagina, and this is pretty bad. I
Speaker 1: guess it doesn't look Somebody else said was in a
Speaker 1: metal wire below her that she fell on with her crops.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. It's kind of bouncy looking whatever.
Speaker 1: It's not metal, but no, it doesn't. No, it's right here,
Speaker 1: it's next to where it's next to her. It's next
Speaker 1: to her. Then it drops below her and then she
Speaker 1: falls on it and it's kind of bouncing around. You're right.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean it's rubber, but it kind of bounces.
Speaker 1: It looked like it was already under her legs, which
Speaker 1: definitely should not have been. My god, that's rough. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put this up on see it now. In fact,
Speaker 1: I'll get the screenshot of this now here we go, right, man,
Speaker 1: imagine this situation. The ship doctors gave us three options.
Speaker 1: One air evacuate to the United States to be taken
Speaker 1: to a hospital and Cosamel and figure out our own
Speaker 1: way home. Three remain in the ship's medical facility for
Speaker 1: the rest of the cruise. They chose air evacuation. We
Speaker 1: were then told we needed a twenty thousand dollars deposit,
Speaker 1: another thirty thousand upon arrival, and we only had a
Speaker 1: few hours to make that decision. I don't know that,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Just throw down that kind of money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. I mean, you've already spent
Speaker 1: money on the cruise, right, Yeah, you've already spent money
Speaker 1: on the cruise, and now you've got this going on.
Speaker 1: I'm putting this up right now. Whoops, I'm putting this
Speaker 1: up on see it now so you guys can see
Speaker 1: the visual here. If you're listening to the show today
Speaker 1: at your leisure, if you're a Secret Show subscriber, you
Speaker 1: can watch that whenever you want. Go get it over
Speaker 1: on thenewsjunkie dot com right now. But that is I
Speaker 1: know it's a tempting to just kind of laugh at that.
Speaker 1: That must have really really done some damage. That must
Speaker 1: have really actually hurt her, and ladies, you can weigh
Speaker 1: in on this if you'd like. I'd love to hear
Speaker 1: from you over at the Newsjunkie dot com real quick.
Speaker 1: They said it has happened. I didn't know things were
Speaker 1: this bad, but they said it's happened. South Florida has
Speaker 1: seen a rapid rise in the cost of living, and
Speaker 1: those of you down there know this, but Miami has
Speaker 1: just surpassed New York City, where the cost of living
Speaker 1: in Miami is more expensive than in the nation's capital,
Speaker 1: New York City or New York's capital. I guess I
Speaker 1: should say one of the same. New York City is
Speaker 1: now less expensive to live in than the metropolitan area
Speaker 1: of Miami. It's now second only the San Francisco, California
Speaker 1: in terms of the cost of living, which, of course
Speaker 1: the Bay Area has. The cost of living is through
Speaker 1: the roof because all the mega rich people who have
Speaker 1: inflated the economy over in the Bay Area, Silicon Valley
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. New York is third place, so
Speaker 1: they said. Miami Fort Lauderdale got a score of one
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen point one five five, compared to one
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve for New York, New Jersey. Miami metro
Speaker 1: prices have climbed thirty six percent since twenty nineteen. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Miami home prices have soared s vind nine percent since
Speaker 1: the pandemic. It's more expensive to live in Miami than
Speaker 1: it is in New York City. If you're down there,
Speaker 1: let us know how you feel about that. INFO sent
Speaker 1: a dispatch at the Newsjunkie dot Com Right now in
Speaker 1: a moment, somebody said, this whole story is exactly why
Speaker 1: you should purchase travel insurance when you take a cruise.
Speaker 1: Evacuations would be reimbursed. Stealing buys travel insurance. I didn't
Speaker 1: really know about it much until Sea Lane started using it. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean I I used it. So I first learned
Speaker 1: about travel insurance when we all went to Jamaica together. Yeah. Right,
Speaker 1: And then because that was part of the deal with Sandals,
Speaker 1: was they included travel insurance with your uh, with your
Speaker 1: your with your purchase. And then the second time I
Speaker 1: went to Jamaica, I actually had to use it because
Speaker 1: I had to go to the doctor, had them to
Speaker 1: had to have them bring a doctor to me, you
Speaker 1: got sick or something. I got a really bad ear infection.
Speaker 1: I had to have them flush out my ear because
Speaker 1: I was in immense pain, and it wasted a couple
Speaker 1: of days of my Yeah, and it's this lady wasted
Speaker 1: her whole the whole rest of her vacation. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: so the travel insurance was great because yeah, I had
Speaker 1: to come out of pocket at the time. But then
Speaker 1: I just like set up the you know, I submitted
Speaker 1: to claim, and they emailed me a paper check that
Speaker 1: I printed out at your house and then took a
Speaker 1: picture on my phone and the money came back. Jesus,
Speaker 1: maybe that's a smart idea if you're going on a
Speaker 1: trip anytimes. So quick break when we come back. More
Speaker 1: your emails rolling in. We got a celebrity guest stopping
Speaker 1: by in just a bit, and much more on the way.
Speaker 1: It's all coming up next on the news junk key.
Speaker 1: Quick correction. People lighting me up, probably on the texting
Speaker 1: service about this, and that's fairy off. I deserve it.
Speaker 1: I was distracted. I apologize. The capital of New York
Speaker 1: is Albany. Yes, that is indeed correct. I am aware
Speaker 1: of that, Yes I do.
Speaker 6: I do know that.
Speaker 1: I'll file that away for Fritz on the street, just
Speaker 1: as a you know, make sure you don't screw that
Speaker 1: up twice kind of thing. Are we But yes, we
Speaker 1: know we are on in Albany. Yes, I know we
Speaker 1: have we have a Yes, we have affiliated Albany. I'm
Speaker 1: saying this directly to the folks in Albany. I apologize.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was in the middle of a segment.
Speaker 1: I was dancing a little bit and I wasn't paying
Speaker 1: attention to what I was saying, which happens from time
Speaker 1: to time. The capital of the United States of America
Speaker 1: is Washington, DC. Capital of New York is Albany. Thank you,
Speaker 1: I'm the news jump. The capital of Canada is Oh,
Speaker 1: I forgot from last week Canada. You're so oh it's
Speaker 1: not Montreal, because that's what everybody's gonna think, right, It's
Speaker 1: so it's like Ottawa, yep, Ottawa, yeah, baby, all right.
Speaker 1: How about Australia. Uh no, we just did this one too,
Speaker 1: and I said Brisbane and that wasn't correct because it
Speaker 1: was is something that sounds like Carabas, Is that right?
Speaker 1: I think Canberry? Canberry? Okayank Cambeck, thank you, thank you
Speaker 1: very much, very much, noted, noted Canberra genius, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. Got God blessed. There we go. I have
Speaker 1: to tell you a lot of people are very wary
Speaker 1: of the foods that they're eating in the American food support.
Speaker 1: I don't blame you for it at all, but I
Speaker 1: want to shed some light on somebody who I think
Speaker 1: is a bit of a brave hero in this case,
Speaker 1: and that is the one the only Kelly Clarkson I
Speaker 1: did not know that I would be doing this today.
Speaker 1: But Kelly Clarkson has come forward and said she may
Speaker 1: possibly have cyclospora. And I've been talking about how I
Speaker 1: think way more people have cyclospora than is officially on
Speaker 1: the record. There's other than the one guy we played
Speaker 1: the interview with yesterday who just went to the local
Speaker 1: news and he's like, I have been just in pain.
Speaker 1: It has been bad. I haven't slept in seven days.
Speaker 1: It's been like a fountain friend. Other than that guy,
Speaker 1: people don't want to say this, but Kelly Clarkson's like,
Speaker 1: I very well could have cyclospora, and she's telling everybody
Speaker 1: that she might be the latest to be on the
Speaker 1: hook for this. Kelly forty four performed in Las Vegas
Speaker 1: on Saturday, where she shared the TMI update with fans. Now,
Speaker 1: it's not a TMI update, folks, you don't have to
Speaker 1: make this gross. It's not her fault that she might
Speaker 1: have cyclospora. It's the fault of our producers, of the
Speaker 1: crops that we eat. It's the fault of our food chain.
Speaker 1: It's the fault of you know, a million different things
Speaker 1: that you rely on just to be safe when you're
Speaker 1: eating food. It's not her fault. Yeah, somebody said, don't
Speaker 1: apologize your human exactly, Neil is, if you get cyclospora,
Speaker 1: it's not your fault. I hate that I have to
Speaker 1: be the person to tell you this. Maybe maybe they're
Speaker 1: apologizing for talking about it. You know, I don't think it,
Speaker 1: but like even that you don't have to. That's the
Speaker 1: that's part of the problem. It's made embarrassing because explosive
Speaker 1: diarrhea is one of the side effects of this thing.
Speaker 1: So if you come out and go, I think I
Speaker 1: have psyclospora, then that's automatically what people think. It's not
Speaker 1: her fault. It doesn't mean anything gross about her. Sometimes
Speaker 1: when you get a sickness, it says something about you.
Speaker 1: I remember one of the ones that was kind of
Speaker 1: a big deal when we were young. First it was lice,
Speaker 1: and if you had lice, it was equivalent to saying
Speaker 1: you live in filth and you're gross and you're disgusting.
Speaker 1: That wasn't really true because lice would just jump around,
Speaker 1: and then it was Aids. It was afterwards it was like, ee,
Speaker 1: you know, Aids was a really really rough one for
Speaker 1: a while until Magic Johnson kind of I would want
Speaker 1: to say made it cool, but like, you push through
Speaker 1: the barriers there, and you know the various other people
Speaker 1: who helped push that on. But for a while I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, but the one growing up that was
Speaker 1: always the toughest was pink eye. When you said you
Speaker 1: had pink eye, Oh boy, Yeah, everybody thought that meant
Speaker 1: that you did something gross, or something weird happened, or
Speaker 1: you're dirty. Just how it goes, I guess. So there
Speaker 1: we are, and Kelly Clarkson, she's the brave one. She's
Speaker 1: the celebrity who's brave enough to come out and admit
Speaker 1: that she maybe has cyclosporo. Right now, we've got the
Speaker 1: government confused as to where this is all coming from,
Speaker 1: and we'll work that in momentarily on the show, because
Speaker 1: I want to tell you more about what's happening in
Speaker 1: some of the freak outs that are occurring. But Anonymous
Speaker 1: emails with some good news. Anonymous says, I got mailbox money. Hi, junkies,
Speaker 1: I know you talk about mailbox money from time to time.
Speaker 1: If you're new to the show, let me just tell
Speaker 1: you I don't want people to feel left out when
Speaker 1: we talk about mailbox money. That means usually class action
Speaker 1: or other things that will bring up where you could
Speaker 1: possibly get your hands on money from some settlements. And
Speaker 1: what we do is we talk about them. So you
Speaker 1: fill out the website and paperwork whatever you have to do,
Speaker 1: and then we all forget about it, and then we
Speaker 1: get mailbox money six months, eight months, a year later.
Speaker 1: Sometimes people have gotten a lot. And this person says,
Speaker 1: how do you talk about mailbox money from time to time?
Speaker 1: I can't remember if this is a case involving financial
Speaker 1: aid at some of the nation's top colleges, or if
Speaker 1: it was an opportunity that you discussed. I think you did. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I put in my claim because I attended Duke as
Speaker 1: an undergraduate student. I just got my mailbox money settlement
Speaker 1: for two thousand.

Speaker 1: to write vitael, but to see if you can confirm
Speaker 1: that this is actually true. Thank you for the email,
Speaker 1: Ryan says. It's been all over the news, even nationally.
Speaker 1: The Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon intended to veto a
Speaker 1: bill but accidentally signed it instead. Attorney Robert Durr reportedly
Speaker 1: believes that most judges would take McMahon's side on the matter.
Speaker 1: I'm no lawyer, but I do know the importance of
Speaker 1: a person's signature. Oh, this is a question to the
Speaker 1: editor kind of thing. Ah, it's Syracuse dot com. But

Speaker 1: we come back. We've got a guest that's gonna be

Speaker 1: All right? Bill Bellamy?
Speaker 3: Are you there?
Speaker 1: My friend? Yes, sir? What's going on here? A Bill Bellamy?
Speaker 1: If you're anywhere near my age, you one hundred percent
Speaker 1: know who this guy is. I don't really have to
Speaker 1: introduce them all that much. But Bill, Melanie, I feel
Speaker 1: like you've lived like a hundred lives in one man.
Speaker 1: You've done so much stuff over the years. Like there's
Speaker 1: so many different things that we could talk about. But
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you're on a big stand up tour now,
Speaker 1: and that's where you put a lot of your focus
Speaker 1: in a craft that I think is so much harder
Speaker 1: than so many other things that you've tackled in your life.
Speaker 1: Stand Up comedy is a very very hard thing to do.
Speaker 1: But you know, many people know you from MTV, they
Speaker 1: know you from Deaf Comedy Jam and from all of
Speaker 1: that stuff I know you from. I'm telling you the
Speaker 1: most underrated sequel of all time, Kindergarten Cop two doesn't
Speaker 1: get the love, Oh my god, it doesn't get that.
Speaker 6: It doesn't get the love that it deserves. You're right,
Speaker 6: it is a solid little movie, man. And that's the
Speaker 6: thing about doing film or TV shows. You don't know
Speaker 6: what's gonna work. You don't know if the people gonna
Speaker 6: like it, love it, they're gonna rotten tomato with you know,
Speaker 6: So you.
Speaker 1: Get told at some point in time your agent, I
Speaker 1: guess hits you up and they're like, Bill Belleny, here's
Speaker 1: the deal man. Things are popping off for you. We
Speaker 1: got a movie Kindergarten Cop too. This is gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Do you are you thinking day one on the movie
Speaker 1: set for that sequel, like, Oh, it's gonna be Arnold
Speaker 1: Swartzenegger and me and we're gonna be hanging out or
Speaker 1: did you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm thinking it's gonna be Arnold. When I get
Speaker 6: up there, it's Dolph. I'll say what Dolph under Dolph lundering.
Speaker 6: But the thing about it was the whole time I'm
Speaker 6: doing a film with Dolph, I'm going, man, that's Ivan Drago.
Speaker 1: I was with I must break you, I must break you.
Speaker 6: Like I just kept thinking, oh my god, I'm in
Speaker 6: the movie with Rocky's Nembhasis.
Speaker 1: I could not get it out of my head to
Speaker 1: save my life.
Speaker 6: I was like, this is crazy, just to me from
Speaker 6: where I started in the business, not ever knowing I
Speaker 6: could be in movies or being an actor and all
Speaker 6: that into doing you know that movie with Dolf, who
Speaker 6: was already in film when I was like, you know,
Speaker 6: in high school, yeah, going to college. He was already
Speaker 6: in movies, right, it goes to show you how your
Speaker 6: journey can you know, cross in weird ways, you know,
Speaker 6: like all the celebrities that I met that I used
Speaker 6: to go see in concert and be like such fans,
Speaker 6: and next.
Speaker 1: Thing you know, I'm on an MTV interview in these people,
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is crazy.
Speaker 6: And even like the most recently when the Michael movie
Speaker 6: came out, you know, I had really you know, I
Speaker 6: knew it was pivotal and it was important when I
Speaker 6: interviewed Michael Jackson, I just didn't know how short of.
Speaker 1: A list that was. Yeah, yeah, it's true. Not a
Speaker 1: lot of people. Not a lot of people got that
Speaker 1: close when you were younger, you know, talk about flashing
Speaker 1: back to being a kid, a young Bill Bellaman. What
Speaker 1: what was your goal? Like, did you have in mind
Speaker 1: all these things that you wanted to do and that
Speaker 1: you have accomplished in your career already, or did you
Speaker 1: have like a different goal that you wanted to do
Speaker 1: when you were a teenager? Well?
Speaker 6: It changed, you know, it changed. I remember at first,
Speaker 6: like as being a kid, I wanted to be a lawyer.
Speaker 6: I wanted to you know, be in the courtroom and
Speaker 6: you know, negotiate you know, people's lives. I guess you know,
Speaker 6: I wanted to be you know that kind of guy,
Speaker 6: you know, writing for justice for the underserved kind of guy.
Speaker 6: Then I was like, oh, that's law school another two
Speaker 6: three four year I'm like, I don't know if I'm
Speaker 6: gonna do that.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had to play a lawyer? Yes? Right
Speaker 1: way matter, I was full.
Speaker 6: Circle everything that I imagined that I would do. I
Speaker 6: played like I always wanted to be in the NFL.
Speaker 6: Wanted to be, you know, a wide receiver, but I
Speaker 6: was so skinny and so little my parents wouldn't sign
Speaker 6: a paperwork. Yeah, so I ended up doing any given Sunday,
Speaker 6: I'm like, ho, movie that is crazzy.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 6: So I played football. I've played a detective. I've played
Speaker 6: an attorney. I've played a player like, you know, a
Speaker 6: womanizer guy. I've played the bad guy, you know. I've
Speaker 6: done like every kind of role you know, and the
Speaker 6: good cop, bad cop, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 6: for me, I think the imagination for me was my
Speaker 6: key because I always imagine doing stuff.
Speaker 1: I just didn't here to know how. I didn't have
Speaker 1: to know.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, I never went to acting class, how
Speaker 6: I'm going to be an actor? Like I was, just like,
Speaker 6: I'm going to be in movies.
Speaker 1: That's what I said. I'm gonna be in movies. I'll
Speaker 1: figure it out. Yeah, and you did. I mean you
Speaker 1: already have you already done so much? You've been so
Speaker 1: many great movies and stuff that you're mentioning, honey, given
Speaker 1: Sunday was such a good movie. My god, real quick,
Speaker 1: before we get too far away from it, we really
Speaker 1: quickly mentioned the Michael Jackson interview. We this came up
Speaker 1: randomly on our show last week about how there were
Speaker 1: very few people who heard Michael Jackson talk just normally.
Speaker 1: Did you at any time when the cameras weren't rolling,
Speaker 1: did he ever kind of break off that that Hi
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson voice things that he did? Yeah, did you
Speaker 1: actually hear his normal voice. I'm gonna tell you a
Speaker 1: funny story.
Speaker 6: So the whole time that when I'm interviewing Michael Jackson,
Speaker 6: I think we are at Sony Studios, right, and he
Speaker 6: came in with like twelve to fifteen people like Loveless's managers,
Speaker 6: security dudes, you know, clearing the bathrooms and making sure
Speaker 6: nobody could be in the hallway. You can't look at
Speaker 6: Michael Jackson. Like the first couple of times, I had
Speaker 6: to just close my eyes and I thought he was
Speaker 6: an angel. I was like, maybe I can't if I
Speaker 6: look at him my eyes and start burning, you know.
Speaker 1: But it was so bunny.
Speaker 6: He had to go to the restroom and his voice
Speaker 6: chained for a second. He was like, yo, I gotta
Speaker 6: use the restroom. So happy right back, I was like,
Speaker 6: I heard that.
Speaker 1: I heard that a little basic. I gotta go peep.
Speaker 1: You've got so many stories that just I mean, they're like,
Speaker 1: you're You're the perfect interview guest in so many ways,
Speaker 1: because you do have so many interactions with people over
Speaker 1: the time, and a lot of them come from your
Speaker 1: time at MTV. When you look at MTV now in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, what runs through your mind compared to
Speaker 1: when you were there. You know, I'm a little sad,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you.
Speaker 6: I was just having this conversation on another interview about
Speaker 6: how lucky we were. I ran into Matt Penfield last week,
Speaker 6: and Matt, to me, was like my guru. He was
Speaker 6: he was the first person I knew that was like Google.
Speaker 6: He knew every artist, what studio, producer, record label like
Speaker 6: he was. He was a music historian to me, and
Speaker 6: we were just talking about how lucky we were to
Speaker 6: be at that part of music, like the explosion of all.
Speaker 1: These new genres from grunge.
Speaker 6: To acoustic, to R and B to pop to to
Speaker 6: hip hop, like everything was coming full throttle.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of new kind of artists.
Speaker 6: I mean, we went from Atlantis Marsset to Britney Spears,
Speaker 6: and we had Blind Melon and we had you know, Coolio.
Speaker 1: Like it was so dug verse and I don't know
Speaker 1: if there'll ever be another era like that.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm on stage with Red Hot, Chili Peppers, Aerosmith,
Speaker 6: you know, I'm interviewing Cobain, we got lymp Biscuit. Just
Speaker 6: think about all these bands. It was just like badass
Speaker 6: bands coming out back then, and now it's like, how
Speaker 6: do we get our music? How do we know what's
Speaker 6: the new hot music video?
Speaker 1: We don't. How do you do you buy music? Dude?
Speaker 1: Do people go to Tower Records anymore?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: Dude? Yeah, Like remember we used to go.
Speaker 6: Buy the music and listen on the heads and there
Speaker 6: was a guy in the music store that would tell
Speaker 6: you well if you come back Thursday, the new.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blahs coming. Yeah, like we had the best time.
Speaker 1: We had the Virgin megastore that would have the listening stations.
Speaker 1: Oh he froze up. Oh no, oh no, the listening stations.
Speaker 1: That's the fun. That's a fun. Still the Freeze, Bill,
Speaker 1: do we lose Yeah, we we might have lost you.
Speaker 1: We'll have to get him back on the hood. Got
Speaker 1: really excited, just bros. And the greatest freeze you could
Speaker 1: ever imagine. Right now, we'll have to see if we
Speaker 1: can connect back with him though. He If you don't
Speaker 1: know Bill Bellman, which is going to be so few
Speaker 1: of you, there is a guy who was on MTV
Speaker 1: in the peak of MTV, rode out of that and
Speaker 1: did some of the craziest roles and movies and TV
Speaker 1: shows that anybody could ever imagine. And you hear him
Speaker 1: just rattling through things that are jaw dropping, like interviewing
Speaker 1: Kurt Cobain, interviewing the guys from Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Speaker 1: interviewing Michael Jackson until the spider Curse hit him. You know,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's how it goes. We lost him, We
Speaker 1: lost it. He might hopefully trying to n Yeah, I
Speaker 1: imagine he'll connect back. I had to show him because
Speaker 1: Courtney sent me this yesterday. Sea Lane Costco just launched
Speaker 1: a retro boombox and it says compatibility that covers every area,
Speaker 1: and it's like old fashioned boom box, like you would
Speaker 1: set down on the steps and have the speakers bumping
Speaker 1: and stuff. You could put a CD in there, you
Speaker 1: could put a cassette tape in there. It does all
Speaker 1: of the stuff that your old boombox hit. And kids
Speaker 1: are buying that like they bought vinyl record players.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Holy cow, we've gone like in such a strange direction
Speaker 1: with some of this stuff, but that's where we are.
Speaker 1: The retro stuff is kind of coming back, I think, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about cassette tapes last week, and
Speaker 1: that's kind of coming back. I don't have him yet. Now.
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's still thinking he's talking to us
Speaker 1: and we're just not reacting to his story at all.
Speaker 1: It's like, why what the hell out by now? He's like,
Speaker 1: I was done talking one of these the longest, best
Speaker 1: story ever, and that's why he's Jack, Kurt Cobain and
Speaker 1: Amanda Bynes. We're all around and you're like, ah, and
Speaker 1: we have a three grammar on the on the table
Speaker 1: just right in the center. We could be missing the
Speaker 1: moment from the original telling of the aristocrats who there's
Speaker 1: only one way to find out. Well, ye, we'll see
Speaker 1: if he he connects back. You must have had some
Speaker 1: kind of internet dropout or something over there on on
Speaker 1: his side. Thank you everybody. He's so far and to
Speaker 1: share the show Tuesday. Who has donated secret shows that
Speaker 1: I'll try to rattle through these at the end. There
Speaker 1: is an absolutely insane amount available. If you've ever wanted
Speaker 1: to be a premium subscriber over on the news junky
Speaker 1: dot com. Now is a fantastic time to do it,
Speaker 1: and you can just go over there if you create
Speaker 1: a free account. It takes a second or two and
Speaker 1: you hit claim once you get on there. Oh, I
Speaker 1: think we might have him back. We do, we do,
Speaker 1: he's back. Hang on you there, Bill, hang on, I
Speaker 1: think you're muted. He's muted. He's coming back. All right, Bill,
Speaker 1: if you can hear as you're muted still. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We thought we were like, damn it. We thought it
Speaker 1: was going good. But maybe he no, no, No, we
Speaker 1: were going great. Where were we? I was just saying,
Speaker 1: we're talking about MTV past President future. I said. The
Speaker 1: crazy thing is hearing you sit there and rattle off
Speaker 1: things like they're totally normal that so few people got
Speaker 1: to do. Michael Jackson interviewed Kurt Cobain interview like crazy
Speaker 1: crazy to me, But oh crazy, bro, I can't believe
Speaker 1: it either. Sometimes I'm like, what, Yeah, you're one the
Speaker 1: lottery in so many different ways, you know, but you
Speaker 1: don't get to that without like the charisma and talent
Speaker 1: that it takes to be able to pull this stuff off.
Speaker 1: But how do you think, you know, how what do
Speaker 1: you think was one of the things that allowed you
Speaker 1: to be so successful at all these different levels? Is
Speaker 1: there anything like is it just like you have a
Speaker 1: very open personality or an extrovert with anything like that helpful?
Speaker 6: I think I think honestly authenticity, you know, my personality
Speaker 6: is who I am. You know, people could tell like
Speaker 6: I was excited about the music, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: like nothing about it was fabricated. So imagine being, you know,
Speaker 6: on the biggest network for music in the country at
Speaker 6: the time, like it was biggest TikTok biggest you know Instagram, right,
Speaker 6: and so you got this young black guy who is
Speaker 6: introducing you to the world of music.
Speaker 1: Like that's literally what I was doing.
Speaker 6: I was introducing people to what's the new hot thing,
Speaker 6: What's what's you know, we were doing the movie thing.
Speaker 6: We were talking about the best summer blockbusters every year.
Speaker 6: We were talking about the best big band that just broke.
Speaker 6: I mean, I remember when when when uh Glenn Stefani
Speaker 6: was brand freaking new, even knew who the hell she was.
Speaker 1: I remember doing a show with them.
Speaker 6: They were they were they were a college band, bro
Speaker 6: no doubt, right, yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt, was
Speaker 6: a college band. I did a show with them down
Speaker 6: in Orange County, like I was. You know, this is
Speaker 6: when I was first starting out. When you do a
Speaker 6: couple of colleges and d and you do the show
Speaker 6: in the lunch room, you do okay, you.
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: You do it in a small auditorium, and they were
Speaker 6: the band that was performing.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh, can you believe that
Speaker 1: was y'all? She was like, oh my god, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we just got lucky. And so when you think about
Speaker 1: why people.
Speaker 6: You know, I feel that like Bill Bellamy because I
Speaker 6: felt like people felt like I was their friend, Like yeah,
Speaker 6: like yeah, people be like you'll do Bill Belie man,
Speaker 6: you're my guy, or you know, I remember, you know,
Speaker 6: girls will say, oh my god, if I dated a
Speaker 6: black guy, it'd be you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't I don't ever know if we should
Speaker 1: if we should trust. I don't know if we should
Speaker 1: never trust the chat that watches the show live, everybody
Speaker 1: on YouTube and Twitch, they're big fans of you, obviously,
Speaker 1: and I trust them on that. But there's one of
Speaker 1: the most common comments that I'm seeing is ask him
Speaker 1: if it's actually true that his cousin is Shaquille O'Neal.
Speaker 1: Is that true? Yes, yes, sir, okay, yes, was that?
Speaker 6: And it's so funny because I mean, in Orlando this
Speaker 6: weekend he sold that big ass house.
Speaker 1: He finally sold it. That thing on the market forever that.
Speaker 6: They was on the market forever. I never forget the
Speaker 6: first time I went to visit him there. I never
Speaker 6: seen a front door that big. It was like thirty
Speaker 6: feet tall.
Speaker 1: It was like the door for like the Jolly Green Giant.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, did you ever work on anything
Speaker 1: with him. Did you guys ever do anything that we did?
Speaker 6: We did a couple of commercial campaigns. We did Rebok together,
Speaker 6: we did Pepsi together. We actually I think we did AT.
Speaker 1: And T as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so we did a couple of This is when
Speaker 6: he was on the Orlando Magic obviously he was doing
Speaker 6: really really well with that and I was on MTV
Speaker 6: at the time. So it was just a great synergy
Speaker 6: because the NBA, the NBA and MTV used to do
Speaker 6: these collabs with the players cross you know, it was
Speaker 6: a cross you know, promotional thing, sure, and so I
Speaker 6: got a chance to Obviously everybody knew we were family,
Speaker 6: so they you know, they leaned into the situation.
Speaker 1: It's like big and small, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 1: What one thing I always think about with somebody's as
Speaker 1: famous as as you are for as long a period
Speaker 1: of time is how much stuff has changed. And I
Speaker 1: wonder like, was it better in those early days def
Speaker 1: comedy jam, MTV, the movies you were you starting to
Speaker 1: kick up? Was it better before all this social media stuff?
Speaker 1: Because now there's like so much feedback, Like feedback could
Speaker 1: be good for somebody who's trying to create stuff. Feedback
Speaker 1: could be bad and just like weigh you down and stuff.
Speaker 1: But back then you used to go, you would do
Speaker 1: your thing. People would be a great job. Love the movie,
Speaker 1: you love this, You see a couple of reviews or whatever.
Speaker 1: Now with social media, you just see like NonStop, everybody's
Speaker 1: a reviewer, everybody's a critic. It was it better back then.
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you why. I'm gonna
Speaker 6: tell you why. And this is something that I noticed
Speaker 6: over the last twenty years. You had to be a
Speaker 6: star to be famous when I started, when I was
Speaker 6: coming up, the guys that were ahead of me that
Speaker 6: you know, were real stars. To be a famous star,
Speaker 6: you had to have talent. You had to have rhythm,
Speaker 6: or you had to have this like thing and everybody's like,
Speaker 6: oh my god. And you were not available to the
Speaker 6: public like that, Like if you saw Prince, you lost
Speaker 6: your god.
Speaker 5: Damn Prince was at Dairy Queen, you know, or Michael Jackson,
Speaker 5: or you saw Madonna and Tomes Square walk in the street, you.
Speaker 1: Would lose your rock your world there.
Speaker 6: Now with social media, people are so common like you
Speaker 6: got to protect your privacy.
Speaker 1: You have to be you have to be available, but
Speaker 1: not too much.
Speaker 6: You gotta be like you got to kind of find
Speaker 6: a sweet spot because if you're too accessible, you're common.
Speaker 1: And then there's no you know, there's no lure to you,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why I don't go to everything, and like
Speaker 6: I try to handpick what I think is the best
Speaker 6: place for a guy like Bill Bellamy to be, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean. Like I don't stream, like I'm
Speaker 6: not sitting here every day, you know, oh, instead of
Speaker 6: living my life just sitting there streaming just trying to
Speaker 6: get attention and me, oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 1: Some of that stuff to me super thirsty, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 9: So that is, you know what I mean, Like I
Speaker 9: don't want it that bad, Like I want I want
Speaker 9: to be famous for being talented and famous for doing
Speaker 9: good things and entertaining people.
Speaker 6: I don't want to be just in the bathroom, you know,
Speaker 6: or oh my god, gosh, I'm having fun with the bumblebees.
Speaker 1: It's so it's so silly, I'm saying, it's so silly.
Speaker 6: So that's to me, we had the best time because
Speaker 6: you could make a mistake, you could party hard and
Speaker 6: fame and you wouldn't be all over TMG.
Speaker 1: You could, uh you could. You know, you can get
Speaker 1: a car accident and drive home back in the day,
Speaker 1: not right, the good old days, good old days. You
Speaker 1: can make a mistake something specific show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was a long night.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well right now, Bill Bellamy is on his tour
Speaker 1: and there's several cities where the show is air. Are

Speaker 1: September eleventh, is not only a Sea Lane who's here
Speaker 1: on the show his birthday, Oh wow, I ever forget
Speaker 1: and not eleven, but also you can see Bill Bellamy
Speaker 1: at the Funny Bone over in Tampa on September eleventh.
Speaker 1: Go get the tickets right now. Bill Bellamy dot com.
Speaker 1: It's b I L L B E L L A
Speaker 1: M Y, but you knew that already. Go to the website. Bill.
Speaker 1: It's been a pleasure talking to you. Thanks for hanging
Speaker 1: out with man. Thank you guys. Man. Make sure you
Speaker 1: get some of that nostalgia nineties music popping on that
Speaker 1: show any more. We got tropical storm Bertha out there.
Speaker 1: I know we got to get to the hot sheet
Speaker 1: in just a moment here, but let's just see, are
Speaker 1: we in line? Is Bertha gonna hit us? What's happening
Speaker 1: here with this tropical storm? I know they said, even
Speaker 1: though it's not really very strong at the moment, it
Speaker 1: still looks like it's gonna have some impact on probably
Speaker 1: our friends in Texas, Houston in particular, and our new
Speaker 1: friends in New Orleans. We added some stations in Louisiana,
Speaker 1: including New Orleans and Baton Rouge last week, and they
Speaker 1: are certainly in the sites here maybe on Thursday or so.
Speaker 1: This is still just kind of a mess off the
Speaker 1: west coast of Florida, but it's officially a tropical storm now.
Speaker 1: It's got winds over fifty miles per hour. It's cruising
Speaker 1: along the Panhandle. Then around Wednesday, Thursday, it'll be in
Speaker 1: New Orleans Territory, early Friday, Houston Territory right there on
Speaker 1: the east coast of Texas, and then on from there.
Speaker 1: So it looks like this is going to have mostly
Speaker 1: a rain and stormy impact, much more so than like
Speaker 1: a hurricane danger type situation that you might face with
Speaker 1: a hurricane danger hurricane. I hope I don't have to
Speaker 1: face down that one. I hope I don't have to
Speaker 1: face down that one at all. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: into it here we go. Let's do the hot sheets,
Speaker 1: but not like real important news. Best Investigator's partying on
Speaker 1: the planet. Both top stories from the people on your
Speaker 1: screens and speakers are on a hotsheet with Sea Lane.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's the top five stories and the nonsense
Speaker 1: news brought to you by that mortgage guy Don And
Speaker 1: you're not. I don't even know that you were a
Speaker 1: huge Yellowstone fan, were you? Were you big into that franchise?
Speaker 1: You know, I kind of did like it for a
Speaker 1: little while there, but then sometimes we just stop watching stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that means Courtney doesn't like him,
Speaker 1: we're going to keep watching. Well, there's first couple of
Speaker 1: seasons were good. There certainly was plenty of the actual show.
Speaker 1: And then there's like two or three spinoffs. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: one of them that has some people's attention right now
Speaker 1: is this Dutton Ranch. Dutton Ranch is one of the
Speaker 1: Yellowstone spinoffs, and then of course has the very talented
Speaker 1: Ed Harris in it. But he's saying now, he's revealed
Speaker 1: that he asked his team to get me the f
Speaker 1: out of here while shooting the first season because he
Speaker 1: felt he was like under utilized, Like he's really like
Speaker 1: he signed on to this Dutton thing. He might have
Speaker 1: even been a fan of the original series, but it
Speaker 1: said Ed Harris was not happy about his role in
Speaker 1: Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch, the Oscar nominated star who was
Speaker 1: locked in for two seasons on the show, said he
Speaker 1: felt misled about his character's involvement and signed on believing
Speaker 1: he'd be one of the main characters, and when it
Speaker 1: wasn't the case, he was a little frustrated. Prior to
Speaker 1: signing on for it, I was talked to quite a
Speaker 1: bit about what the season was and what my character
Speaker 1: was going to do, and that I was one of
Speaker 1: the four main characters, and it wasn't really the case.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling underused and inconsequential, just a little frustrated, to
Speaker 1: tell the truth, says Ed Harris. Of course, not the
Speaker 1: only cowboy role he's played. He was huge in that
Speaker 1: first couple of seasons of Westworld. He just kind of
Speaker 1: looks like a cowboy, doesn't he He does. He's got
Speaker 1: a face. Well, he doesn't have a stash in this picture.
Speaker 1: The name again, Ed Harris, Ed Harris, Oh, oh, he's
Speaker 1: the guy from Westworld, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was the dude that was just killing everybody. He
Speaker 1: was like the man in Black. I think the mystery
Speaker 1: Man in Black. That's right. I loved that first season
Speaker 1: in West World. Some of the Argentinian fans, fans of
Speaker 1: the Argentina team that of course fell to Spain in
Speaker 1: the World Cup final, they are blaming Rihanna. They said,
Speaker 1: they're they're mad at Rihanna. They say Rihanna has cursed
Speaker 1: their team after it lost to Spain in the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six FIFA Men's World Cup. Why there's some of
Speaker 1: these people are really superstitious. I think the president or
Speaker 1: prime minister or whatever, the leader of Argentina wasn't even
Speaker 1: there because he's so superstitious that he likes to watch
Speaker 1: the game at home. He thinks if he if he,
Speaker 1: you know, differs from that at all, he might screw
Speaker 1: up the thing. But they're they're saying, no, that would
Speaker 1: have been him. It would have been Rihanna. The thirty
Speaker 1: eight year old pop superstar turned billionaire beauty mogul was
Speaker 1: seen doing the macharena in her seat and a clip
Speaker 1: that circulated on social media, accompanied by her partner Asap Rocky,
Speaker 1: who was among the many celebrity guests watching the final
Speaker 1: at this has MetLife Stadium, which was inaccurate. It was
Speaker 1: the New Jersey, New York Stadium. We all know that
Speaker 1: it had a different name. The MetLife didn't pony up
Speaker 1: the money. Both times Rihanna has been in the stands
Speaker 1: during an Argentina final, the team has been defeated one
Speaker 1: nothing by their challenger. The hitmaker attended the twenty fourteen
Speaker 1: World Cup between Argentina and Germany and Rio de Janeiro,
Speaker 1: where she was spotted cheering on the German national team
Speaker 1: celebrated on the field with the players breaking the rules
Speaker 1: by holding the World Cup trophy on the pitch. And
Speaker 1: we mentioned yesterday about how one of the American commentators
Speaker 1: said Matt Damon was Brad Pitt. Yeah, they like confused
Speaker 1: the two of them before too on accident though Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well the one of the soccer commentators, this time for
Speaker 1: the BBC guy Mowbray, received a little backlash after mixing
Speaker 1: up not only mixing up Pharrell Williams and Asap Rocky
Speaker 1: during live coverage of the match, but as the camera
Speaker 1: was fixed on Farrell Williams, the English commentator said, I
Speaker 1: think that's AKA Rocky before God, so he said the
Speaker 1: name wrong an had the wrong person, before quickly correcting
Speaker 1: himself and saying or ASAP Rocky Sorry, I think onto
Speaker 1: concertgoers because I think we need to have a little
Speaker 1: come to Jesus with some of the people that go
Speaker 1: to concerts. We famously had the Noah Kahan story where
Speaker 1: he had to ask his fans not to poop their pants.
Speaker 1: Remember that close one of the most disgusting things of
Speaker 1: the year. It has stuck with me. Yes. Well, now
Speaker 1: Morgan Wallen concertgoers are under fire because somebody said they
Speaker 1: were at Saturday night's concert at the M and T
Speaker 1: Bank Stadium. The Troy grevelding he was with his wife,
Speaker 1: brother and eight year old niece watching the Morgan Wallen
Speaker 1: show when a man directly behind them began urinating, splashing Troy,
Speaker 1: his family and another nearby group. Yes, the guy's just
Speaker 1: drunk at the Morgan Wallen concert and he just took
Speaker 1: it out and started going, I've got video of this. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll save it. I look at a pick a side
Speaker 1: on this. Actually in the next segment, I have video.
Speaker 1: Can't believe I ruined to pick a side. No, I
Speaker 1: didn't even know this was kind of coming up today,
Speaker 1: But I have video of these people who after they
Speaker 1: called the cops because somebody peede on them. Well, and
Speaker 1: it gets worse, Troy said, he and his wife could
Speaker 1: feel the stream run down their legs, and when he
Speaker 1: turned around, he says, the guy still had his junk out. However,
Speaker 1: security booted the man, but the first Maryland State Police
Speaker 1: trooper to respond said cops couldn't arrest him because the
Speaker 1: trooper hadn't witnessed the alleged incident, Like you would you
Speaker 1: have to go around and gather evidence if I pee
Speaker 1: on you? And then the cops show up and I'm like,
Speaker 1: see la impede all over me? You see how my
Speaker 1: leg is wet, And the cops like, I didn't see
Speaker 1: sea lan p on you, So you you don't go
Speaker 1: to jail. It sounds like that's what would happen. That's
Speaker 1: a loophole. He did get. It's not the loophole. That's
Speaker 1: not the loophole you think it is. It's not great, it,
Speaker 1: says the Maryland Transportation Authority. Police later tracked down the
Speaker 1: guy and detain the man outside the stadium and he's
Speaker 1: he says, the venue said they were going to make
Speaker 1: it right, but no word back there. Waiting to figure
Speaker 1: out what exactly that means make it right. But still,
Speaker 1: you know, guys, get it to go on the way
Speaker 1: to make it right, is you get you can got
Speaker 1: a ping on that person right with the venue just
Speaker 1: holds him down and says, sir, sit down here. To
Speaker 1: make it worse, I want you to lay down and
Speaker 1: open your mouth. That's the only way to make this
Speaker 1: as equal as possible. One of the things that I
Speaker 1: don't think we really mentioned yesterday, but the Tate brothers
Speaker 1: are in jail right now. The Tate brothers have been
Speaker 1: arrested and TMZ, I think got a hold of what
Speaker 1: they've been eating. Is that happened the worse guys? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it says Andrew and Tristan Tatar used to a
Speaker 1: life of luxury, you know, eating like lobster and steak
Speaker 1: everywhere and stuff, And so they got a hold of
Speaker 1: what the menu is at this FCI Miami that they're
Speaker 1: currently being held at, and it says Sunday, the Tate
Speaker 1: brothers were treated to a breakfast of boiled eggs and
Speaker 1: peanut butter lunch. Lunch was scrambled eggs, oven brown potatoes, biscuits, jelly,
Speaker 1: creamy gravy, and more peanut butter. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: peanut butter going. Yeah. And then dinner they had a
Speaker 1: choice between meat loaf of black bean berger green beans,
Speaker 1: bad potatoes, and brown gravy. No peanut butter for dinner,
Speaker 1: and not until the next day where they had even
Speaker 1: more peanut butter. But there their legal troubles are probably
Speaker 1: a little bit more serious than worrying about what they
Speaker 1: have to eat. FCI Miami and last, but not least,
Speaker 1: congratulations to this song are Idea, Oh.
Speaker 3: No Party Rock an No.
Speaker 1: SI has once again made YouTube history. On July seventeenth,
Speaker 1: the legendary music video for the twenty twelve smash hit
Speaker 1: Gognham Style Gangnam Style surpassed six billion views on YouTube.
Speaker 1: It took just over fourteen years to hit that mark.
Speaker 1: It was the very first I believe music video to
Speaker 1: ever reach one billion views on YouTube. So congratulations to
Speaker 1: SI for people still listening to that song. Hey, that
Speaker 1: mortgage guy down wants to help you if you are

Speaker 1: into your first home, maybe into your dream home. If

Speaker 1: wasting money leaving that money on the table. Don wants
Speaker 1: you to take it off the table. He wants to
Speaker 1: help you. So go to that mortgage guy down, take

Speaker 1: don dot com.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: See like quick break, we're on a little bit behind.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we have a pick. Aside from
Speaker 1: that exact story that Celin was talking about, you do
Speaker 1: not want to miss this that's coming up next on
Speaker 1: the news Junkie. I got him fired up a little bit.
Speaker 1: I was interested in this story because I saw it
Speaker 1: bouncing around out there, celiing because there was a guy
Speaker 1: who just got arrested. Bring up this score story if
Speaker 1: you don't mind while I'm yapping. There's a guy who
Speaker 1: just got arrested. Sorry for the search you're going to
Speaker 1: have to do here, Ceiling, But he had child sex
Speaker 1: material on his computer, I believe, but I think they
Speaker 1: said that all of it was AI generated, like none
Speaker 1: of it was real. But it didn't matter. The guy
Speaker 1: still got arrested and most people don't care. Most people
Speaker 1: when when you ask about this, most people in chat
Speaker 1: were like, don't care if it was real or fake,
Speaker 1: it's still gross. Jail him. Somebody said that it's like
Speaker 1: a hunter shooting a deer decoy during off season. Do
Speaker 1: you want this person to be arrested or no, because
Speaker 1: it's a decoy, like a fair enough comparison hunter shooting
Speaker 1: a child decoy it Yeah, yeah, I mean either way,
Speaker 1: you're it's not an actual person, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: People don't really care about the nuance there. It seems
Speaker 1: most people are like, Nope, it's so disgusting what you're
Speaker 1: doing that even if it's faked, it's still a massive symptom.
Speaker 1: That's what you mean by people don't care. I thought
Speaker 1: you were saying people largely don't care that it's happening
Speaker 1: because it's not an actual person, And I was like,
Speaker 1: I didn't think that was the case. No, this is
Speaker 1: completely AI generated. If you maybe I'm wrong on the details.
Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to bring it up. I was
Speaker 1: just seen the story about this this this one. This
Speaker 1: one's a little worse, I think. Okay, is this the
Speaker 1: one from from today? This was published a couple days ago. Okay,
Speaker 1: it was late last week and it says last week
Speaker 1: Broward County. Are you thinking of it in Florida, Yes,
Speaker 1: I believe so. Broward Sheriff's Office arrested a Parkland man
Speaker 1: accused of using images of children he personally knew and
Speaker 1: using the Grock AI platform to create the material. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think Twitter slash groc might have gone after the
Speaker 1: guy because they've been doing that a little bit. So
Speaker 1: he used photographs of real kids that he knew, but
Speaker 1: then the AI is what made them the really vile,
Speaker 1: disgusting content. And even though they weren't real, it didn't
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. This guy's still going to prison for this.
Speaker 1: I guess what you mean. What was he charged with?
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look through this for the record, I
Speaker 1: don't feel sorry for him. It's disgusting and you know,
Speaker 1: there's a million different things that you could say about this. No,
Speaker 1: but there's a there's an argument to be made that no,
Speaker 1: nobody was physically victim. I think it's so much worse
Speaker 1: when it's a real person and there are laws in place,
Speaker 1: I think in Florida, child or no child. You know,
Speaker 1: even if you're doing this to an actual adult, that
Speaker 1: would put you in some serious legal trouble for generating
Speaker 1: generating an AI image of them. That's pornographic in nature.
Speaker 1: How far does that go though? That's what I wonder about.
Speaker 1: So let's say I take a photograph of Selane and
Speaker 1: I use AI technology to make it so se Lane
Speaker 1: is nude in this photograph, and then I posted it.
Speaker 1: Please be nice to me if I'm being generous and
Speaker 1: I posted online and people are like, wow, look at Seelane.
Speaker 1: Go but I have posted these photos without your permission
Speaker 1: of you online even though they're not real, they're AI generated.
Speaker 1: Is that revenge porn in that case? I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's revenge porn, but I know that that there's
Speaker 1: a new law against it. Because that's the most interesting
Speaker 1: part about this is you're not actually the content is
Speaker 1: not real. It's not real that you're using, but you
Speaker 1: could still get in trouble for it as if it
Speaker 1: is real. And I wonder how far that goes. If
Speaker 1: I take somebody that I know and take a photograph,
Speaker 1: use AI and make that person naked and then put
Speaker 1: that online. If I did that was a real photograph
Speaker 1: of them, I would go to jail. I would be
Speaker 1: in trouble for revenge porn, and I would spend time
Speaker 1: behind bars. But if I did that with technology and
Speaker 1: it wasn't real, would I still be in trouble? Abraham says,
Speaker 1: people think it's real. Therein lies the problem, right, like
Speaker 1: this world where we can't differentiate, And then maybe that
Speaker 1: would be an excuse of yours. If it wasn't illegal
Speaker 1: to have the AI version, people would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I didn't know, you know, Oh I thought this was
Speaker 1: you know, I thought this was AI and that that
Speaker 1: it was acceptable. I think if you have that exception,
Speaker 1: you maybe open the door causing a lot of problems
Speaker 1: with it. According to the arrest report, investigators to the
Speaker 1: images all seem to be derived from a single image
Speaker 1: to picking an approximately five year old female laying on
Speaker 1: a bed. Each reported file is an alteration of this
Speaker 1: image to create new images depicting child sex abuse material.
Speaker 1: That Florida recently enacted a law addressing AI generated child
Speaker 1: sexual abuse material. Yeah, again, this is only talking about
Speaker 1: the the child abuse material, but I think they had
Speaker 1: had a law for adults too. Mama Greaser says, is
Speaker 1: is it imitating a real person? Yeah? In this case,
Speaker 1: Heelan is saying like it was derived from an actual
Speaker 1: photograph and then they utilized that photograph to do the
Speaker 1: you know, disgusting work of removing the clothes and et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. It's not saying what the actual charge was,
Speaker 1: but yeah, maybe maybe it's something else because it's not real.
Speaker 1: It's kind of, you know, sort of interesting. No, they
Speaker 1: did say, like one of the people interviewed in this
Speaker 1: story said, like, I think the law makes it to
Speaker 1: be the same whether whether it's a real child or
Speaker 1: an AI generated image of a real child or any
Speaker 1: created child, it's still the same penalties under law, according
Speaker 1: to this uh person that the Shiller schiller. So he says,
Speaker 1: let's see what the children's parents think. Yeah, Bootsy, I
Speaker 1: mean that's there's definitely a spin on this. The kids
Speaker 1: parents are gonna be like, throw them behind the prison
Speaker 1: and underneath it. The only thing that I question about
Speaker 1: this at all is, let's say I draw something that's illegal.
Speaker 1: It's totally illegal if you had a real version of this,
Speaker 1: but I draw it over here, draw like a stick
Speaker 1: figure with a very small wing, and then like just
Speaker 1: right sea lane and point and an arrow and yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then and just from from just creating something like that,
Speaker 1: is that under the same umbrella. I think it would
Speaker 1: because uh, you know, it's it's targeting artificial intelligence, and
Speaker 1: at times your intelligence is very artificial. So I would
Speaker 1: say general yours, Yeah, yours, but uh no, I mean
Speaker 1: I think, uh, dick, a stick figure, a drawing, I mean,
Speaker 1: how good is drawing? What if you do a painting,
Speaker 1: you know, like like you know in parks and rec
Speaker 1: when these questions when they do that painting and then
Speaker 1: the painting, as it turns out, the cherub that's naked
Speaker 1: looks like a Leslie Nope, yeah, And without realizing it,
Speaker 1: they have this now Leslie Nope, naked cherub painting that
Speaker 1: she really likes. But everybody's trying to tell say that
Speaker 1: it's pornographic. The biggest problem that you face here is,
Speaker 1: let's just be real about this. Everybody in the United
Speaker 1: States of America cares about our freedoms and our rights
Speaker 1: and the constitution in the justice system, except for when
Speaker 1: it's about pedophiles. No one cares. No one wants to
Speaker 1: be the person that raises their hand and goes, well,
Speaker 1: hang on, just the moment. These photographs aren't even real,
Speaker 1: they're artificial intelligence. No one wants to do that, me included.
Speaker 1: So because of that you just go. And then the
Speaker 1: reason why I think they're doing it, which is what
Speaker 1: my point was earlier, is if you open this up
Speaker 1: and say, well, if it's AI, it's not actually illegal,
Speaker 1: then you got to sort out what's AI what's not.
Speaker 1: You've got to prove that things are real instead of AI,
Speaker 1: and then the actual work would be on the prosecution
Speaker 1: to prove that each one of these people were real
Speaker 1: individuals instead of saying doesn't matter if it's real, fake, drawn, AI,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, you're still in trouble for them. If
Speaker 1: he eleven counts related to child pornography, really, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: ain't nobody gonna be crying for this? Guy's a disgusting weirdo.
Speaker 1: But speaking of that, we might as well put the
Speaker 1: other weirdo thing I have in here before we move on,
Speaker 1: and I'll get to the pick a side here. Somebody
Speaker 1: posted on Reddit, and at first there was some suggestions
Speaker 1: that this wasn't legitimate, but now people are digging deeper
Speaker 1: and they believe that maybe it was. I did not
Speaker 1: know that there was a subreddit called ethical Gooners, but
Speaker 1: there is. Okay, and just so you know, you know
Speaker 1: what ethical is. Everybody knows what that means. It means
Speaker 1: the right, Is it right or not right? If you
Speaker 1: don't know what a gooner is, don't worry. This is
Speaker 1: a very online internet term, and a gooner is somebody
Speaker 1: who is maybe gratifying themselves to content that they find
Speaker 1: and endlessly charged up about it. Let's say, And so
Speaker 1: they're saying, is it ethical to be into this sort
Speaker 1: of content? This post? We're washing this out because it's
Speaker 1: got ten million views. We're washing it out with all
Speaker 1: the bad stuff. Now before we do the pick aside, Well,
Speaker 1: this person says, is it ethical to goon to a
Speaker 1: porn star that I killed? That's the post that they did.
Speaker 1: Now stand by for more on this, because you're gonna
Speaker 1: be like, wait, hold, is it ethical to goon to
Speaker 1: a porn star that I killed? He says. In two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, I was involved in a car accident
Speaker 1: which took the life of a porn actress that I
Speaker 1: will not name to protect my privacy. The accident was
Speaker 1: not my fault. I did not react to conditions in
Speaker 1: the correct way, he said. So, it's not my fault,
Speaker 1: but I did not react to conditions in the correct way.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. That's the most
Speaker 1: bizarre thing about this kind of The accident was not
Speaker 1: my fault, but I did not react to conditions in
Speaker 1: the correct way. Because of this, my car te boned
Speaker 1: the vehicle she was in and she died on the scene.
Speaker 1: I was not criminally charged with anything, but I was
Speaker 1: found civilly liable in her death. I was reminded of
Speaker 1: her recently and I found her adult films. She was
Speaker 1: quite pretty and her body was incredible. I have been
Speaker 1: gooning to her every night. Is it still ethical to
Speaker 1: goon to her? And people thought, well, it was just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: They're just making this up. And then quickly in the comments,
Speaker 1: people started to point out, hey, this appears to be
Speaker 1: a real situation where there was this woman by the
Speaker 1: name of Erica Boyer who on that very day that
Speaker 1: was mentioned, died around Panama City Beach, Florida, at her home.
Speaker 1: She had retired from the adult industry in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 1: The woman, a real name Amanda Jensen, performer named Erica Boyer,
Speaker 1: I guess, was attempting to cross US Highway ninety eight,
Speaker 1: which she was struck by a two thousand and one
Speaker 1: Hyundai driven by Gregory low So the person may well
Speaker 1: be this Gregory Lowe who posted this that didn't want
Speaker 1: to give up their information but gave up way too
Speaker 1: much was struck by a two thousand and one hun
Speaker 1: Day driven by Gregory low She was killed instantly. The
Speaker 1: incident was investigated by the Florida Highway Patrol. A veteran
Speaker 1: performer known for her work in both Straight and Gave films,
Speaker 1: she won awards and had a career spanning from the
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies and the nineteen eighties into the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 1: That's the only case like this, the only case like
Speaker 1: this that happened. Now, somebody else said this person was
Speaker 1: struck as a pedestrian, but he said he t bow
Speaker 1: in the car. Who the hell knows. But the belief
Speaker 1: is that there may have been some truth to the
Speaker 1: posts behind this, which, if true, is just absolutely weird.
Speaker 1: All right, So pick aside? Is it ethical enough? Is
Speaker 1: not the a side? Play the song? No, this is
Speaker 1: not a pic aside, It not at all a pic
Speaker 1: A side? Do you want to do? I think when
Speaker 1: ethical is being called into question, like if you if
Speaker 1: you say, oh, is this ethical to do this?
Speaker 2: Or not.
Speaker 1: It's almost the wrong question. Like I feel like, if
Speaker 1: something's inethical, there should be a victim here. And since
Speaker 1: the person in question is it was already long dead,
Speaker 1: that's not true. Like, so imagine I'll make it about me,
Speaker 1: so it's not about you. Imagine somebody is like, hey, thanks,
Speaker 1: you made the other thing about me. Hey, Sean, is
Speaker 1: it ethical for me to do this to your dead mother?
Speaker 1: I would say no, that's ethical. It's absolutely unethical for
Speaker 1: you to do the person's not alive, But it doesn't
Speaker 1: make it ethical to do it just because the person's dead.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the loophole that you're thinking. It
Speaker 1: is like the like the thing earlier actions, decisions or
Speaker 1: behaviors that align with accepted moral principles and standards of
Speaker 1: right or wrong. Okay, I can see if that'd be unethical.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of, like, hey, something different. I guess it's
Speaker 1: still wrong. It is should we do the pick a
Speaker 1: side or take a quick break? We probably should take
Speaker 1: a quick break? Well, what's a quick break? I have
Speaker 1: the pick a side video. Selan was saying that there
Speaker 1: was somebody who had a very gross interaction at a
Speaker 1: concert and called the police. I have the police footage
Speaker 1: of this or the footage from the actual incident, so
Speaker 1: I want to play that. We also have to get
Speaker 1: into is the food safe out there? Some unbelievable new
Speaker 1: twists in the story we've been following about psyclospora. You
Speaker 1: need to know about this, and it's coming up next
Speaker 1: on the news Chunky. Rate my Blank for this week
Speaker 1: is rate my magnet or my magnet collection, and we
Speaker 1: want to see you with these magnets and weird places
Speaker 1: or interesting places or places that might be of note.
Speaker 1: And we've had that and we've had some favorites so far.
Speaker 1: On the end of the week on Friday show, we're
Speaker 1: going to pick our winner and we'll give you a
Speaker 1: big fat prize for being the winner of Rate my
Speaker 1: Blank each week, and the next week we'll have another one.
Speaker 1: We'll stretch them out throughout the weeks. Now instead of
Speaker 1: just doing it as a one day thing on Monday,
Speaker 1: I haven't built some stuff yesterday so that we can
Speaker 1: see all of your submissions at a glance, Like I
Speaker 1: can just go into dispatches now and gallery mode and
Speaker 1: presto bango, I can see you know, all of the
Speaker 1: different things that people have sent in here, which is
Speaker 1: super super handy. Yep. And he texted me yesterday with
Speaker 1: a screenshot and I said make it better. I said,
Speaker 1: amos not good enough. This one is pretty cool. Somebody
Speaker 1: sends over there a game of Magnets magnet with Freddy Krueger.
Speaker 1: Very cool. Love that. Thank you for sending that over.
Speaker 1: You can participate in this if you have a magnet,
Speaker 1: or if you've got a magnet. You've brought to a
Speaker 1: pretty cool place. The news Junkie magnets. There's well over
Speaker 1: fifty thousand of them out there in the wild, lots
Speaker 1: of different designs, and the deal is that you go
Speaker 1: to the website and you click a photo dispatch and
Speaker 1: just send it on in, just like all these other
Speaker 1: people did. Here's a really cool collection from Keith. He's
Speaker 1: got a ton of magnets here on his refrigerator. Is
Speaker 1: this an ICP magnet or what? I don't know what
Speaker 1: that is? Gooner gooner till I'm dead or somebody. I
Speaker 1: can't tell what that says. Some other designs in the
Speaker 1: mix there that aren't aren't ours, I don't think, but
Speaker 1: thank you for that. Appreciate it. So we've got the
Speaker 1: ability to do that till I'm dead, magnet. You never know,
Speaker 1: you never know. There's a lot of people with comments
Speaker 1: on that gooning front. But let's do the pick a
Speaker 1: side that we were talking about here, Steel And you
Speaker 1: said this was at a Morgan wall In concert, Yes, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: which you know usually is a pretty uncontroversial guy as
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned. He's doing his concert and somebody
Speaker 1: says they were urinated on at this concert, like somebody
Speaker 1: peed on them, and they called the police, and the
Speaker 1: police didn't do anything. So let's go to it. Let's
Speaker 1: see what's happening, okay.
Speaker 10: And there's nothing we can do about a guy fish
Speaker 10: pulling out his and fisting on me right now. Nothing
Speaker 10: we can do with that in front of an eight
Speaker 10: year old girl, because I'm gonna put all over.
Speaker 1: This is a beast Maryland's wall. He doesn't make a difference,
Speaker 1: explain I hear that they're not.
Speaker 3: We cannot take them in. Depend on not bluying you.
Speaker 1: We're going to give you his information and you could
Speaker 1: be referred to the point blaming. Well, we're gonna give
Speaker 1: you his information. They'll they'll give you the person's name
Speaker 1: that peede on you, but they won't arrest them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's odd, but I guess it feels like vigilanteism is
Speaker 1: an option there, like, Hey, we'll tell you who he is,
Speaker 1: but we can't arrest him because we didn't witness the
Speaker 1: guy in the act of peeing on you. How did
Speaker 1: they even have his information if they can't detain him
Speaker 1: or or you know, I mean, hold him for questioning.
Speaker 1: I guess he was detained at some point outside of
Speaker 1: the stadium, but no, no arrest was made at the
Speaker 1: time that this story came out. This is harder to
Speaker 1: determine the sides on this one, because I guess the
Speaker 1: sides are the police for enforcing the law or the
Speaker 1: guy for being upset that nobody's getting arrested for peeing
Speaker 1: on him in front of his dogs because the law
Speaker 1: state right.
Speaker 10: But I'm going to make it known that I hadn't,
Speaker 10: gentlemen witness Ketam morganon concert piss on me, my brother
Speaker 10: and my niece, and the Maryland State Police can do
Speaker 10: nothing about it, not a thing, And it's absolutely okay.
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, do what you want to do if
Speaker 1: you want to Bush. I like how you can hear Morgan,
Speaker 1: you're playing. Everybody outside of the crowd's going wild. He's
Speaker 1: starting up a banger right now. It's a little song
Speaker 1: I wrote. You might know. This was about the time
Speaker 1: I said the N word on a camera. He's out
Speaker 1: there playing for people having a blast at the concert,
Speaker 1: and this guy's inside going These cops won't arrest the urinator.
Speaker 1: They did this to me. I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting that that's not an arrestable offense.
Speaker 1: I think the father is onto something there information.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got his information.
Speaker 1: Who's in charge of the stage saving security here? I
Speaker 1: won't I was trying to get the security information. Now
Speaker 1: everybody's just standing around awkwardly, or go piss on somebody
Speaker 1: and nothing happens. Oh no, oh no. The little girl
Speaker 1: comes walking by his daughter. How old did you say?
Speaker 1: He say she was eight eight? Yeah, I thought it
Speaker 1: was his niece, but sure, okay, Well she comes walking
Speaker 1: through and look she's upset. It looks like she's crying
Speaker 1: here as someone brings her through the scene, and he's like,
Speaker 1: look at her.
Speaker 3: Look are you guys like?
Speaker 1: There's nothing absolutely absolutely either excepted. I don't know what
Speaker 1: else you're making a scene and you continue this is frustrating.
Speaker 1: Aj Soup with a good point. Isn't that indecent exposure?
Speaker 1: And would it be the same thing then? But but
Speaker 1: do you have to have a witness, Like why do
Speaker 1: the cops have to see it? Can't anybody else around
Speaker 1: you see it? You would have think that if there
Speaker 1: were witness statements. I mean, it seems like other people
Speaker 1: have gotten an indecent exposure rap where the cops didn't
Speaker 1: physically look at the penis. Yeah, that doesn't make sense
Speaker 1: to mean the cops are not there for all these
Speaker 1: other people who get arrested unless this is solely how
Speaker 1: it is in this state, Like you don't need a
Speaker 1: police officer as a witness. What if anybody else saw,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that guy did do that. He did do that.
Speaker 1: He right in front of that little girl. He pete
Speaker 1: on this man and urinated on and that's enough to
Speaker 1: make anybody angry. Barbecue Baby said, this is affed up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course it is, of course it is. I just
Speaker 1: I'm very confused, Like the guy is about the law
Speaker 1: here help.
Speaker 3: He can't help you. You haven't helped anybody, Alright, He's
Speaker 3: out of there.
Speaker 1: I think I'm right about how you doing, and I
Speaker 1: would have, oh my god, you're really good. The other
Speaker 1: he went up to an officer who doesn't know what
Speaker 1: the hell is going on? Question for your question for you?
Speaker 1: A question for if I was to whip out my
Speaker 1: blank right now, would you arrest me? So he's asking
Speaker 1: the cop who wasn't associated with this directly. And I
Speaker 1: pissed on somebody.
Speaker 3: What I gonna tell the gossip?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure identified the end of it.
Speaker 3: Fie for you.
Speaker 1: I kept him out there and then everything I was
Speaker 1: asking it all right, Okay, there you go, so we
Speaker 1: could get it. We get the frustration. You hear the guy,
Speaker 1: he's describing what happened to him. So he was like
Speaker 1: a news story and some yeah, but he's describing what
Speaker 1: happened to him. He's explaining what went down. Who do
Speaker 1: you side with here? Do you pick a side off?
Speaker 1: The police officers are like, we're just enforcing the law.
Speaker 1: It's not our fault that there's not a lall for this.
Speaker 1: We're doing everything we can, but we need to physically
Speaker 1: witness somebody doing that to you. Or do we take
Speaker 1: the side of the dad here? The guy who was
Speaker 1: upset about this happening, and it happened in front of
Speaker 1: this little eight year old girl, for God's sake, And
Speaker 1: I wonder, like, I don't know, the little girl crying
Speaker 1: makes this much more upsetting. Like I think sometimes it
Speaker 1: should be your responsibility as an adult to like not
Speaker 1: freak them out too much, like this is this is
Speaker 1: how adult adults are supposed to behave specific ways of
Speaker 1: brown kids. I think if your kid falls, trips and
Speaker 1: falls and hurts themselves to the guy with his wiener out,
Speaker 1: well that's true. I agree, I agree, But from a parent,
Speaker 1: your perspective should always be like, hey, I want to
Speaker 1: lessen the blow of this in so many ways, like
Speaker 1: I want to lessen the blow of this so my
Speaker 1: child doesn't think this was the most traumatic thing ever.
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of stories like this over the years.
Speaker 1: I've seen a story where, Hm, there was a story
Speaker 1: that I was I was I was familiar with where
Speaker 1: somebody thought that something wrong happened to a young kid,
Speaker 1: and then when they thought that this happened to a
Speaker 1: young kid, the things they wanted to do to sort
Speaker 1: of get revenge and to me, sounded way worse than
Speaker 1: the thing that happened to begin with. Right, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: we don't want to make this something that sticks around
Speaker 1: with this child is a terrible bad memory. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's helpful. But maybe there was no way around it.
Speaker 1: Maybe the girl just saw what was going on and
Speaker 1: she just got traumatized, no matter what the parents were doing.
Speaker 1: First of all, there should be an effing law for this. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, everybody agrees with that. Right, everybody I
Speaker 1: think agrees with that. Pail Fire says, so exposing yourself
Speaker 1: to a daycare school can get you arrested, but not
Speaker 1: a Morgan wall in concert. I'm not sure. Law enforcement
Speaker 1: experts let us know what you think about the Morgan
Speaker 1: vallneurs called still the problem, which right? You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that I disagree with that. What do you
Speaker 1: think you do? You take the side of the police
Speaker 1: officers or the man who was victimized. Here, I take
Speaker 1: the side of whoever got you know, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: over got yeah, whoever was in the this was. You're right,
Speaker 1: You're right. I just had to bring it to you.
Speaker 1: You you brought up the story, not me, right, I
Speaker 1: didn't want to. I don't want to talk about this,
Speaker 1: but you did this. I did not do That's what
Speaker 1: you were the one who did this. You did it.
Speaker 1: You might as well have been the pier. Somebody says,
Speaker 1: chaos is people pay to have this happen to them.
Speaker 1: Just because there's somebody who has a fetish and enjoys
Speaker 1: this happened to them doesn't mean that it shouldn't be
Speaker 1: a crime when you randomly do it to people who
Speaker 1: are not willing participants. Just in case, we needed to
Speaker 1: make that clear quick break, when we come back, your
Speaker 1: dispatches are on the horizon. And also and also when
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna do jury duty and we've
Speaker 1: got some pretty amazing stories in that coming up next
Speaker 1: on the news Chunky tips at the news junkie dot
Speaker 1: com a couple of emails real quick before jury duty,
Speaker 1: Sila and Ed says about that pick a side you
Speaker 1: did and if you miss this, there was a guy
Speaker 1: that came up in the hot sheet. It was about
Speaker 1: a Morgan Wallen concert. Do we know where they were
Speaker 1: with this guy allegedly ended up peeing on them. Were
Speaker 1: they in the stadium or in the bathroom or in
Speaker 1: the stands? I think of the stadium, So like They're
Speaker 1: in the stands of the stadium and somebody who's so
Speaker 1: drunk or so crazy just decides to urinate all over
Speaker 1: this guy with this eight year old girl like right
Speaker 1: next to him. But then the cops said, there's nothing
Speaker 1: we can do because we didn't witness it. Ed emails
Speaker 1: on that pick a side. I'm fully on the guy's side.
Speaker 1: So the cop tells the guy, you can't arrest the
Speaker 1: PP guy. What sense does that make. I'm wondering if
Speaker 1: I should go to that state and rob a few banks,
Speaker 1: seeing how it's obvious the cops wouldn't be there. This
Speaker 1: is absolutely ridiculous. The cops aren't on ninety five five
Speaker 1: percent of the crimes committed, but the purpse still gets arrested.
Speaker 1: I think the cop was just being a douche this person,
Speaker 1: says Russell, talking about the child sex content, albeit created
Speaker 1: with AI in the case that we brought up. Russell said,
Speaker 1: I want to make this very clear, I did not
Speaker 1: condone CP of any kind. But when you were talking
Speaker 1: about a guy that got in trouble for images that
Speaker 1: were not real, it reminds me of whenever the Big
Speaker 1: Mouth series had a cartoon of kids nude trust me,
Speaker 1: whenever that came on, I turned off the series immediately.
Speaker 1: But I'm just curious on why a big platform with
Speaker 1: the show being shown with fake CP images doesn't get
Speaker 1: in trouble, but a guy that did AI to get
Speaker 1: got in some trouble. The Netflix has nothing happened to them,
Speaker 1: and they actually continue to show it. It doesn't make
Speaker 1: any sense to me, says Russell. I'm not familiar with that,
Speaker 1: so we'll just throw it out there to everybody listening
Speaker 1: to she if they have any comments about it. I'm
Speaker 1: familiar with the series, and I remember watching the first
Speaker 1: I don't know if I got through the whole season.
Speaker 1: The first couple episodes were really funny, and then it
Speaker 1: would just run right the same stuff over and over again.
Speaker 1: It is a cartoon, but I think maybe in some
Speaker 1: places that's still a cartoon depiction or something like that
Speaker 1: is still show naked kids, naked cartoon kid. It sounds like,
Speaker 1: according to this woman's email, they do this. This person's email,
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was a woman or man, but
Speaker 1: I think that, uh, it sounds like they do. I
Speaker 1: don't remember seeing that in Big Mouth. Yeah, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen any episodes of that so I'm not sure, but
Speaker 1: we'll see what everybody else thinks about that. Right now
Speaker 1: here we go, let's do jury duty.
Speaker 6: The court is now in session, so put your phone
Speaker 6: down and pay attention before we call the bailiff over
Speaker 6: to whip your ass.
Speaker 1: You're knowing jury duty with the news Junkie. Jury Duty
Speaker 1: brought to you by the one the Only, Mo de Witt,
Speaker 1: the Wit Law Firm. Injured on the go, just Calmo
Speaker 1: eight hundred, CALLMO eight hundred, CALLMO or go to just
Speaker 1: Callmo dot com. After an accident, you are well, it's
Speaker 1: up to you to do whatever you want. But I
Speaker 1: would say you should probably make the what I think
Speaker 1: smart move. You should make a move to reach out
Speaker 1: to MO to it. Mo to it will get the
Speaker 1: case started against the insurance companies. Don't worry about being
Speaker 1: like litigious or like you're doing something wrong by suing.
Speaker 1: You're protecting yourself. You're protecting your family and your future,
Speaker 1: and those things are really important. I think I think
Speaker 1: most people agree with that. Let us know what your
Speaker 1: thoughts are, of course, and uh if you want to
Speaker 1: in an emergency or in any other situation after an accident,
Speaker 1: reach out to MO to it. It's a just call
Speaker 1: mo dot com. All right, I gotta try to bring
Speaker 1: this up. I was trying to get it up while
Speaker 1: I was talking talking there, but although flock camera map. Sorry,
Speaker 1: that's why I was distracted. There's a website, holy Cow
Speaker 1: called deflock dot org. Flock dot org. Do you know
Speaker 1: what a flock camera is? See what are you familiar? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the ones that everybody's really up in arms about
Speaker 1: right now because they you just put them in random
Speaker 1: places and they record your license plate number? Correct? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Do they do anything else or do they only get
Speaker 1: license plate numbers? I think they only get license plate numbers.
Speaker 1: I think the point is if you have a major
Speaker 1: incident in your area at your store, you know, your
Speaker 1: place of business, that the flock camera would have all
Speaker 1: of the recent license plates that have been in the area,
Speaker 1: and then you can in turn give that information over
Speaker 1: to the police and kind of help them see who
Speaker 1: was in the area. I don't think the flock camera
Speaker 1: automatically tells you who each person is? Is it a
Speaker 1: police camera?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 1: By default like normal, right, it doesn't have to me.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 1: I think walmarts are starting to have them, or lows
Speaker 1: or something. This map on deflock dot org shows you
Speaker 1: where they all are in the United States, or a
Speaker 1: bunch of them that are mapped. Of the just the
Speaker 1: ones that are mapped, there's one hundred and eighteen thousand,
Speaker 1: which is crazy, one hundred and eighteen thousand of them.
Speaker 1: You click launch the map and it shows you all
Speaker 1: of the flock cameras that are around you. It's taken
Speaker 1: a hot minute to launch this map. Oh maybe maybe
Speaker 1: they're getting like real bogged down with traffic right now.
Speaker 1: I think they might be. But you guys can, on
Speaker 1: your own time go to dflockd f l ock dot
Speaker 1: org and they tell you about these ALPRs, which is
Speaker 1: automated license plate readers. They capture and analyze the images
Speaker 1: of all passing vehicles. They store details like your car's location,
Speaker 1: date and time. They also capture your cars, make model color,
Speaker 1: and identifying features like dense roof racks or bumper stickers,
Speaker 1: often turning these into searchable data points. I tell you,
Speaker 1: and I'm not selaning here. I'm not in the business
Speaker 1: have given out advice to criminals? But am I giving
Speaker 1: advice to criminals? You have done that in the past
Speaker 1: on this show. A lot of people don't realize this.
Speaker 1: If you are engaged in any sort of crime, and
Speaker 1: they start searching the the flock cameras, all the cameras
Speaker 1: that are out there, they can make it as detailed
Speaker 1: as this. Like here's an example. This is a truck
Speaker 1: driving by and it says that is I think it's
Speaker 1: a Tahoma Tacoma, Tacoma, Tama. I don't know. I've never
Speaker 1: driven one of these. You could see that it's a
Speaker 1: Toyota Tacoma. You could see what the license plate is.
Speaker 1: You could see that they have a Raiders sticker in
Speaker 1: the back right window. And so if somebody says there
Speaker 1: was a truck here, I have no idea what the
Speaker 1: license plate is, but I know they had a Raiders
Speaker 1: sticker on the back window. They can look at every
Speaker 1: car that drove by and search for a Raider sticker
Speaker 1: and see your car. All right, if you're you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be committing crimes out there. But if you are committing crimes,
Speaker 1: those stickers that you put on your car could could
Speaker 1: be the downfall of you. Okay I could I mentioned
Speaker 1: Lows as one of the places that potentially has these
Speaker 1: because I think we've done a story about Low's having
Speaker 1: flock cameras before. Yeah, and I just looked up on
Speaker 1: the legacy map that they have because it's the new
Speaker 1: one that's being bogged down and wasn't loading. But they
Speaker 1: have four flock cameras in the parking lot of my
Speaker 1: Lows that's right right near my house. Are there any
Speaker 1: in your actual neighborhood or only in these sorts of
Speaker 1: like businesses that want to monitor stuff? There are none
Speaker 1: that are listed in my neighborhood. There's actually one the
Speaker 1: next street over the main street. Yeah, and that is
Speaker 1: kind of on the side of the road near like
Speaker 1: a shopping center. But none in my in my actual neighborhood. Well,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stories. Putting one up myself just
Speaker 1: to see like what kind of what I can gather,
Speaker 1: you know, what I can see. I look, I see
Speaker 1: stories like this. Here's one officers accused of misusing flock cameras.
Speaker 1: And this is not a one off. I've heard this
Speaker 1: a bunch. There's one story from.
Speaker 8: Picture show police in Atlanta looking for evidence after shooting.
Speaker 8: This all happening on Verbena Street near Lamar Avenue. Investigators
Speaker 8: say that the same story Stock is alive and breathing.
Speaker 1: Also breaking now at a breaking.
Speaker 8: Kunny Sheriff deputy in jail accused of misusing license plate
Speaker 8: data collected from block cameras. Here it is Sergeant Kabiru Salaou.
Speaker 1: She wasn't expecting. Sergeant oh Boy oh Llaou is in
Speaker 1: trouble for using these cameras and the information from.
Speaker 8: Violation of oath of office and misdemeanor misuse of license
Speaker 8: plate data. He was charged after an internal investigation. S
Speaker 8: Lawu had been with the Shriff's office for nearly twenty
Speaker 8: years and tonight to eleven more please.
Speaker 1: He figured out what this person did, Like you said,
Speaker 1: he misused the data? What did he do?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: Hell? Well, what's the crime? One of them that I saw.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the exact one one
Speaker 1: of them that I saw. The officer saw a woman
Speaker 1: that he thought was pretty. He thought she was an
Speaker 1: attractive woman, and then he startarted looking up her information
Speaker 1: on the flock cameras to track her down, just like
Speaker 1: I was saying, to see where she was going, like
Speaker 1: to going, yeah, what's she up to? Or like hey,
Speaker 1: here's the car she was driving around here? I want
Speaker 1: to find out what her license plate was they'll look
Speaker 1: into this information based on somebody that they find to
Speaker 1: be attractive or somebody who's like, you know, it's kind
Speaker 1: of like the David system where police were using the
Speaker 1: crying to search famous people and stuff. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: the David system, they were doing it to attractive women
Speaker 1: as well, just like looking people up that they knew,
Speaker 1: or looking people up that they'd seen somewhere. But I
Speaker 1: guess what they're saying is for this, they're using data
Speaker 1: that they can get to from the flock system to
Speaker 1: kind of map out where this person goes and maybe
Speaker 1: see we have an idea of where they might sure
Speaker 1: based on where they're pinging the most often. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: go to Low's every Thursday at this time and they're
Speaker 1: just gonna do a little meat cute or something. It's creepy,
Speaker 1: it's weird, and these cameras are creepy to begin with,
Speaker 1: the idea that there's over one hundred thousand of them
Speaker 1: mapped on this one website alone and probably summon your neighborhood.
Speaker 1: If you search this website dflockd f l ock dot org.
Speaker 1: Sorry it's getting hammered right now, but if you search
Speaker 1: this you'll find them around you. To me, this seems
Speaker 1: like a Fourth Amendment violation. I guess if it's your business,
Speaker 1: you're allowed to have these sort of resources. M hm.
Speaker 1: It just seems wrong. There's some stuff like this that
Speaker 1: I like, and this is not the thing shot Spotter
Speaker 1: I think is great. It should be every in every
Speaker 1: dangerous neighborhood that's audio only and it reports gunshots. This
Speaker 1: is this is invasive to me. Let us know what
Speaker 1: you think. Send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com
Speaker 1: quick break and then we kick off the Power Hour.
Speaker 1: Just moments from right now, we kick off the Power
Speaker 1: Hour that's coming up next on the News Junkie.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: I told Seiland the other day, I said, hey, I
Speaker 1: finally to break down the last barrier and completely finalize
Speaker 1: the techno technology stack that that powers this show, that
Speaker 1: makes us so far ahead of everybody else. I said,
Speaker 1: I think I've worked in it's not perfected yet, but
Speaker 1: I think I've worked in how to take live calls.
Speaker 1: And I said, I've got auto screening and all this
Speaker 1: different stuff, and it's all set up and it's a
Speaker 1: toll free number and it's all digitized. It's way ahead
Speaker 1: of what everybody else is doing at Seilane goes what
Speaker 1: happens when they're on hold? Do they hear us? Or
Speaker 1: do they hear regular hold music? And I go regular
Speaker 1: hold music and he goes, lame. This need the context,
Speaker 1: you know. So after the show, I'm fixing it so
Speaker 1: it has hold music. Also, I can put it on
Speaker 1: dispatch mode, meaning we turn off the phone and if
Speaker 1: anybody leaves a message, it sends to us as a
Speaker 1: dispatch now, which is just like all of it is crazy.
Speaker 1: But the I'm not fully done wiring it through. We
Speaker 1: could try here because somebody had to comment on the
Speaker 1: the cameras that we were discussing here on the show,
Speaker 1: the flock cameras. So let's see if it works. Hello
Speaker 1: are you there? Damn, I'm I'm here, Hey guys. Actually
Speaker 1: you had some thoughts on the on the on the
Speaker 1: flock cameras.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Sean, First I want to say thanks for taking
Speaker 7: my call, longtime listenerre we go. Yeah, you have to
Speaker 7: expect that's going to happen. Yeah, these flock cameras there,
Speaker 7: I mean, there's always going to be an officer or
Speaker 7: two that ruins it and uses it maliciously and is
Speaker 7: just not going to do the right thing, and that's
Speaker 7: that's where it starts getting all these the bad connotations
Speaker 7: for the cameras.
Speaker 1: Wait, you so you think, Dan, Dan, you think overall
Speaker 1: the flock cameras are actually good? Do you think it's
Speaker 1: just the some some officers abusing what is a good thing?
Speaker 7: Yes, I personally can tell you of a handful of
Speaker 7: cases that we've we've caught people because of them.
Speaker 1: Okay, like give me an example. Maybe we can't tell
Speaker 1: me the actual details, but like, give me an example
Speaker 1: of how it will work.
Speaker 7: We have a stolen vehicle drive in front of one
Speaker 7: of these cameras, and the license plate is listed as
Speaker 7: a hot plate. That hot plate drives in front of
Speaker 7: any license plate reader, which is what a flot camera is,
Speaker 7: drives in front of one of these cameras. It instantly
Speaker 7: alerts any any of the users, any like dispatch centers
Speaker 7: or anything that are logged into it, especially ones that
Speaker 7: are that it's in that jurisdiction. We get an alert,
Speaker 7: we we quickly, we run it, verify that it is
Speaker 7: actually stolen. An officer's a dispatch to it. There's been
Speaker 7: a number of times that that has happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I get that, I get that it's valuable.
Speaker 1: I just think the concern is from a lot of
Speaker 1: people that are like, what about all the people who
Speaker 1: aren't doing anything wrong, and yet you're just being collected,
Speaker 1: Like all your information, your license plate, whether or not
Speaker 1: you have a sticker or a news junkie magnet for
Speaker 1: God's sake, on the back of your car. It's just
Speaker 1: in this huge net that they bring together and then
Speaker 1: throw you in along with the bad guys. So that's
Speaker 1: what I think a lot of people have in terms
Speaker 1: of their you know, their hesitancy towards this. But you're saying,
Speaker 1: like you have seen really good things come out.
Speaker 7: Oh absolutely, And and that's the argument can be made
Speaker 7: both ways that if you have nothing to hide, don't
Speaker 7: you know you shouldn't worry about being tracked. However, I
Speaker 7: also agree, why do you need to hold on to
Speaker 7: all that information?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 7: But as an end user of it, I can tell
Speaker 7: you that it gets stored away and the only way
Speaker 7: any of that info can be pulled out by either
Speaker 7: a dispatcher or crime center or an officer deputy whatever
Speaker 7: you have to follow. There's a bunch of different steps
Speaker 7: that you have to do, and you have to it's tracked.
Speaker 7: You have to have a case number, you have to
Speaker 7: have you have to have all these reasons.
Speaker 1: Can you inform Dan, can you actually search? Like can
Speaker 1: you can you search or do you have to have
Speaker 1: somebody else give you that information? We if we are
Speaker 1: so we.
Speaker 7: Had a missing person and we have the tag of
Speaker 7: the vehicle that that person was last seen in, I
Speaker 7: can enter that tag and search and see what what
Speaker 7: cameras those that vehicle has hit and the last time
Speaker 7: it hit those vehicles. We had one recently where been
Speaker 7: eighty something year old dude that was attempting well making
Speaker 7: making comments a sewer slide and the only hit that
Speaker 7: we had it was only one camera that it hit.
Speaker 7: But based on him hitting that camera and none of
Speaker 7: the other ones on property, we knew pretty much where
Speaker 7: to look because of the camera he hit, so he
Speaker 7: couldn't have gone to a different part of the airport.
Speaker 7: So we knew where to look and we found.
Speaker 1: Him, gotcha. Yeah, I mean, look, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: sizes of this. Thank you, Dan, appreciate the call. There
Speaker 1: he goes those tests, the big one, by the way,
Speaker 1: says quit saying a lot of people, Sean, you only
Speaker 1: speak for you. That's only true for you. I have
Speaker 1: to speak for other people because I'm seeing your feedback.
Speaker 1: So when I say a lot of people, I mean
Speaker 1: the people that I'm seeing chat or sending dispatches. I
Speaker 1: can speak on behalf of more people in the feedback
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing. It's when you tried to one guy
Speaker 1: at and chat and you'll be like, I'm speaking for
Speaker 1: everyone when I said that. So I have seen that
Speaker 1: concern from people, so I wanted to relay that over also,
Speaker 1: even though his phone connection wasn't wasn't perfect, that's our
Speaker 1: first successful test, That's what that was. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: sure that was his phone and not your don't blame
Speaker 1: my cotrito skills. Don't do that to me. You know
Speaker 1: this worked correctly best. I mean, you kept calling him
Speaker 1: Dan and it said on the screen his name was
Speaker 1: ed okay, because that's the auto screener, and he didn't
Speaker 1: his phone is all cracking up. All right, all right, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, let's do the Power Hour. Let me know
Speaker 1: we could do it, they said.
Speaker 6: Then they said, crazy, right, it's time for the Power Hour.
Speaker 1: On the news, Chunky. A lot of people started typing
Speaker 1: that in chat when he said that earlier, he makes
Speaker 1: the power hour crazzy. Indeed, right, let's work through a
Speaker 1: couple of your dispatches. That's what we had before digitphones
Speaker 1: was invented. That's right, did you digit phones the new
Speaker 1: invent No one's ever heard of these before, but they're
Speaker 1: utilized first and one ever from either dispatch ed or
Speaker 1: dispatch dam. But we're going to open these up tomorrow
Speaker 1: on the show, I think, and see what people say.
Speaker 1: I will keep the number a little close to our
Speaker 1: vest for right now. But let's go on to the
Speaker 1: other side of some feedback. Here here is Flip talking
Speaker 1: about these cameras.
Speaker 11: Hello, So I don't have a problem with anybody having
Speaker 11: a flock camera as long as they're not directly tied
Speaker 11: to law enforcement. If they are just storing the information
Speaker 11: the car description, license plate, and the description of the
Speaker 11: people kind of coming and going from into the car,
Speaker 11: that's not an issue for me personally. My security cameras
Speaker 11: at my house and the security cameras that actually this
Speaker 11: past weekend I just installed at my daughter's house in
Speaker 11: Nashville are similar to flock cameras. They store information for
Speaker 11: sixty days. Including the car description. They will zoom in
Speaker 11: on the license plate as they go by. They're pretty intelligent,
Speaker 11: and you know, if nothing bad happens, then it all
Speaker 11: goes away. She had an attempt to break in at
Speaker 11: her house, and so I drove out there in stupid texts.
Speaker 11: I went out there and you know, put them in
Speaker 11: and they're great. They'll store the information, they track people
Speaker 11: going by. I could set it up to track the
Speaker 11: vehicles as they go by, take pictures of the license plate.
Speaker 1: That sort of thing. Sure pretty badass. So anyways, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it's not cool. It is cool. I know
Speaker 1: our friend Austin, friend of the show, Austin Austin Austin.
Speaker 1: One of the many things he does. He's a man
Speaker 1: of a million talents, and he's very very very good
Speaker 1: with studio equipment and these sorts of things. But he
Speaker 1: also installs security systems for really big companies and does
Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff like that works for our v
Speaker 1: parks and the like. And Austin showed me one time
Speaker 1: a camera that he had and it had all the
Speaker 1: same features and it would say, let's say you had
Speaker 1: one outside your house, like a doorbell camera, and then
Speaker 1: like maybe a security camera outside your house. You could say, Hey,
Speaker 1: show me all the red trucks that have driven by
Speaker 1: my house in the last week, and it would highlight
Speaker 1: just the trucks that were read that drove by your
Speaker 1: house in that week. Show me the vehicles that drove
Speaker 1: by with this license plate number. It would pull up
Speaker 1: the exact vehicle with that license plate number. This is
Speaker 1: the thing that anybody can buy. Anybody can have this
Speaker 1: at their house. The thing is when it becomes a
Speaker 1: bigger net and it gets dropped down a funnel, and
Speaker 1: then law enforcement could just search all of this. That's
Speaker 1: too big brothery for me. That's a little bit too
Speaker 1: big brothery on my end. But we'll see what else
Speaker 1: everybody says and get your thoughts on this and anything
Speaker 1: else we've talked about here is insecure. Waris with the
Speaker 1: final word on this for now.
Speaker 12: I gotta tell you, I'm pretty torn on the flock cameras. Okay,
Speaker 12: in some ways, I don't like the invasion of privacy.
Speaker 12: I don't like how there have been a lot of
Speaker 12: mistakes where like a family was held at gunpoint in
Speaker 12: a parking lot because a flock camera tagged their car
Speaker 12: as being a stolen car when it just misread the
Speaker 12: license plate because it's not that good at it, and
Speaker 12: the police just went after him even though they could
Speaker 12: have read the license plate themselves too. I have problems
Speaker 12: with that a whole lot. But there have been a
Speaker 12: lot of cases where people have gone missing. There's a
Speaker 12: guy who's kind of popular on Facebook or TikTok or
Speaker 12: wherever called Brian Wagman Tow Truck Wags. His brother in
Speaker 12: Indiana is currently missing, and they were able to find
Speaker 12: several images of his brother's truck on flock cameras that
Speaker 12: have given them lots of info about where he might be.
Speaker 12: At this point, they assume he's passed and they're trying
Speaker 12: to figure out where his body might be.
Speaker 1: Its brutal. I don't know.
Speaker 12: It's a two sided coin and it just all depends
Speaker 12: on how it gets used.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then somebody says that, yeah, but how long
Speaker 1: until they're used for nefarious reasons? Now now they're already
Speaker 1: used for farius reasons. That's why people are tracking these,
Speaker 1: That's why the discussion is happening out there. Uh that
Speaker 1: map website that you talked about, the defact dot org,
Speaker 1: when it is working correctly, because there's there's some problems
Speaker 1: with it. But when it is working correctly, there is
Speaker 1: a feature where you can like put in your destination
Speaker 1: GPS style, but it'll give you the route that avoids cameras.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, so like from from my house to work,
Speaker 1: it says I pass by two cameras, but if I
Speaker 1: wanted to take a twenty three minute drive instead of seventeen,
Speaker 1: I could avoid those two cameras. Okay, this is a problem,
Speaker 1: is it not this? How is this not a problem?
Speaker 1: So just like the people and I'm now I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the map, god, or there are a lot of
Speaker 1: these cameras ceiling. Look, there are a lot of these
Speaker 1: cameras on this map. Okay, there are so many of
Speaker 1: them it's like the country is on fire with these
Speaker 1: flock camera there's one hundred and eighteen thousand now northwest.
Speaker 1: Maybe a lot less flocky than it does in the
Speaker 1: rest of the country because there's not a lot of
Speaker 1: people in some of these states. And also these are
Speaker 1: just the ones that people have identified and put on
Speaker 1: this map. But if the problem is, hey, we're worried
Speaker 1: that people are going to take this technology, police officers,
Speaker 1: law enforcement and the like, and they're going to abuse it.
Speaker 1: We've seen that they've done that already. We're worried that
Speaker 1: the police officers are going to abuse this technology to
Speaker 1: maybe hunt for women that they find that they think
Speaker 1: are attractive, and they want to track down, to maybe
Speaker 1: stalk somebody, to go after an enemy, to all these
Speaker 1: different things. We're worried about them abusing the technology. Can't
Speaker 1: bad guys abuse the technology that Silane just outlined in
Speaker 1: the same exact way. So I say, oh, I want
Speaker 1: to use this deflock technology on deflock dot org to
Speaker 1: show me the way to get to this destination, so
Speaker 1: no cameras will record me and none of these flock
Speaker 1: cameras will get my license plate. Isn't that the same
Speaker 1: exact problem, just from the other side a little bit.
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like to me. Maybe I'm wrong
Speaker 1: about that, but like to me, you're worried about, Well,
Speaker 1: it's not just the technology, it's that the police having
Speaker 1: this leads to people abusing it, and then you go
Speaker 1: to counter that we're going to put up this technology
Speaker 1: that also criminals could abuse in the very same way.
Speaker 1: Jen says, if you stopped using everything that people abuse,
Speaker 1: we would have nothing, also true, Jen Over on TJ Chat.
Speaker 1: So we'll let people get their thoughts on this as
Speaker 1: we continue on in the Power Hour. I still have
Speaker 1: to get to the food system being dangerous, this guy
Speaker 1: being fired from ESPN. That's just the beginning of it.
Speaker 1: There's no way we're gonna fit all this in, but
Speaker 1: we'll do our best. The Power Hour rules on that's
Speaker 1: coming up next on the News Junkie. All the World
Speaker 1: Cup fans are now gone in back to their countries,
Speaker 1: one would hope, unless they're overstaying visas or something. And
Speaker 1: the most famous of them all Freddie from Germany, who
Speaker 1: kind of became a superstar throughout this. I'm convinced that
Speaker 1: when he came back he was working on some sort
Speaker 1: of documentary, but we'll see if that ever comes out,
Speaker 1: he said his last message on this thing. Now that
Speaker 1: the trip is almost over, I want to answer one
Speaker 1: of the questions we've been asked the most. This is
Speaker 1: the World Cup fan, Freddy from Germany. How are you
Speaker 1: guys able to afford a trip like this? He says?
Speaker 1: The answer is actually pretty simple. We saved up for
Speaker 1: this trip over the past year, and it wasn't nearly
Speaker 1: as expensive as people probably assume. We stayed in mostly
Speaker 1: budget hotels and always split the cost between the three
Speaker 1: of us. Our flight to the US was only two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five euros, for example. The biggest expenses
Speaker 1: were the rental cars and World Cup tickets, and the
Speaker 1: total six weeks here with everything combined, it probably cost
Speaker 1: us around six or seven thousand dollars. That's a good deal.
Speaker 1: I was on the low end compared to some of
Speaker 1: the people in that video that were like, uh I
Speaker 1: my family, My family is supporting me, Crypto king. You know,
Speaker 1: they're incredibly wealthy, they've never worked on their lives. And
Speaker 1: then they go, how much did you pay to get
Speaker 1: over here for the World Cup? One hundred thousand, two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars And he said he did
Speaker 1: six weeks in America for six to seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: It's probably six because we saved money thanks to invitations
Speaker 1: like a hotel stay in Houston, it would have been
Speaker 1: even more. I know that's still a lot of money,
Speaker 1: but it's nowhere near what people seem to think we're spending.
Speaker 1: We met other World Cup tourists who told us their
Speaker 1: trips costs way more than that forty fifty one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. If you're okay with not living in luxury,
Speaker 1: then traveling doesn't ey to be this expensive. I'll count
Speaker 1: calculate the exact total once I'm back home, he said,
Speaker 1: And he was just sort of sharing with people. You know,
Speaker 1: you can travel and it doesn't have to cost quite
Speaker 1: as much. And yeah, I've kind of seen that too,
Speaker 1: Like we were going to the Keys here in a
Speaker 1: couple of months for Sea Lane's birthday. We decided to
Speaker 1: get as far away from Sea Land as we can
Speaker 1: and go to the Keys. Well, he goes to New Orleans,
Speaker 1: which they're basically let's be real, they're basically the same place,
Speaker 1: aren't they. It seems like they're very very similar. It
Speaker 1: seems like Key West is the French quarter of Florida.
Speaker 1: And then you know, obviously the French Quarter is the
Speaker 1: French quarter of the French Quarter. But when when I
Speaker 1: see people jo deep and I ain't gonna fit on
Speaker 1: a bumper sticker, The French Quarter is the French quarter
Speaker 1: of the French Quarter. Everybody knows that, we all know it.
Speaker 1: So I see sixteenth with that kind of math talk
Speaker 1: about this, I always think to myself, I go it
Speaker 1: is very true. There are basically three main levels that
Speaker 1: you could travel at, and level number one is incredibly affordable.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would recommend it for everybody,
Speaker 1: but staying in hostels is a very affordable way to
Speaker 1: travel the world for cheap. And if you're traveling you're
Speaker 1: trying to go fun places, you're trying to spend like
Speaker 1: the month of your dreams or whatever to really get
Speaker 1: an amazing life changing experience bucket list kind of thing.
Speaker 1: You can do it even if your budget is smaller,
Speaker 1: if you're smart like that, and if you get into
Speaker 1: these communities where they do this, you'll find just how
Speaker 1: far they can make a dollar go staying in hostels,
Speaker 1: especially ones that you know are a little bit more
Speaker 1: safe staying not just in hostiles, but with these communities
Speaker 1: where they have perfect did the places that you can eat,
Speaker 1: the things that you can do to enjoy yourself, and
Speaker 1: Wi Fi for free, and on and on and on.
Speaker 1: You can get airfare for relatively cheap. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of airfare out there, if you search and you know
Speaker 1: how to find the best deals that you can get
Speaker 1: for really cheap, and you can spend like a small
Speaker 1: amount of money for a life changing vacation. Then there's
Speaker 1: sort of the middle track that everybody takes, which is
Speaker 1: a decent flight to a decent location, and you budget
Speaker 1: yourself so you don't spend too much. And then there's
Speaker 1: the high end where these people don't care. Those are
Speaker 1: the people who came to America for the World Cup
Speaker 1: and they spend one hundred thousand dollars. Why Seiland brought
Speaker 1: up this hotel? And was that New York that we
Speaker 1: were discussing? Yes, yeah, I was right in Manhattan on
Speaker 1: like the upteenth floor with views of the entire city
Speaker 1: all around, and I think it was the four seasons
Speaker 1: or how.
Speaker 7: Much was that nine?
Speaker 1: Yeah? That's crazy, right. So that's the end when you
Speaker 1: just don't care about money at all. You're not worried
Speaker 1: about it. And Freddy from Germany, who came over and
Speaker 1: became famous with the World Cup stuff, says you could
Speaker 1: do it for cheaper than you might imagine, which is
Speaker 1: kind of cool to think about. All right, folks, we
Speaker 1: are going to get into more of your feedback before
Speaker 1: we get out of here today. Let's talk about the
Speaker 1: food thing for just a moment because it's becoming more
Speaker 1: and more interesting to watch what's happening. The FDA has
Speaker 1: responded to claims that they have no idea where this
Speaker 1: cyclospora outbreak is coming from by firing back, I'll bring
Speaker 1: you up to date on this. So people started getting
Speaker 1: sick in the United States. They're getting sick from something
Speaker 1: called cyclospora. For the record, cyclospora is not new. There
Speaker 1: have been infections every year for a very very long time.
Speaker 1: It's this little bug that is like microscopic that gets
Speaker 1: into the food. It's often produced it's off and lettuce,
Speaker 1: something like that. People end up eating this and the
Speaker 1: little bug makes you very sick. The bug makes you
Speaker 1: sick to your stomach. You have explosive diarrhea, is the
Speaker 1: way it's been phrased. And it's a tough, tough time.
Speaker 1: And it's called cyclospora because it comes on in cycles.
Speaker 1: You think it's gone away, oop, new cycle comes around
Speaker 1: right back to the bathroom, and it can last weeks
Speaker 1: and weeks and weeks. It's no fun, it's no good.
Speaker 1: So not new been around. This is a particularly bad
Speaker 1: outbreak that's going on right now, and the amount of
Speaker 1: people that have been confirmed to have had this. I
Speaker 1: contend is a tiny fraction, because I think people are
Speaker 1: embarrassed about this. But the FDA said, we blame Taco Bell.
Speaker 1: We blame this particular farm, Tailor Farms. Then Taylor Farms
Speaker 1: pulled stuff off the shelves, Taco Bell stopped working with
Speaker 1: Taylor Farms. Taco Bell said that we're taking all of
Speaker 1: these ingredients off of our menu right now because we
Speaker 1: don't want to get more people sick. And then the
Speaker 1: FDA said, whoops, we got it wrong. It was a
Speaker 1: false positive test. We actually don't know where this started again. Welp,
Speaker 1: the FDA says today about people getting sick eating to clarify,
Speaker 1: this false positive lab sample does not change the basis
Speaker 1: for the FDA's ongoing outbreak investigation or the overwhelming epidemiological
Speaker 1: data supporting the current voluntary recall by Taylor Farms. Over
Speaker 1: the weekend, the FDA alerted Tailor Farms that a new
Speaker 1: sample of shredded lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico tested
Speaker 1: positive for cycloswora during import examination at the Southern border.
Speaker 1: This ended up being a false positive, and Tailor Farms
Speaker 1: was alerted to the corrective test result SUNDAE. FDA's trace
Speaker 1: back investigation and outbreak data continue to converge on shredded
Speaker 1: iceberg lettuce from Tailor Farms locations in Central Mexico. The
Speaker 1: FDA will continue to work with federal and state partners
Speaker 1: to investigate this multi state outbreak and ensure products implicated
Speaker 1: in the outbreak have been removed from the market. Protecting
Speaker 1: the American public remains our highest priority. We encourage the
Speaker 1: public to continue to avoid all products listed in Tailor
Speaker 1: Farms voluntary recall. This company sells salad, They sell it
Speaker 1: to places like Taco Bell, They sell bag salad, bag lettuce,
Speaker 1: and they sell various other things. But it sounds like
Speaker 1: the FDA is like we had a false test, but
Speaker 1: the false test was for a border input, our import,
Speaker 1: and we saw that it was a false positive. But
Speaker 1: everything we have still shows that we believe this is
Speaker 1: the source of everybody getting sick. If they get a
Speaker 1: positive of a border import, they just cut like shut
Speaker 1: it down right there, say turn around, take your poop,
Speaker 1: let us back. I don't know, I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: they do or if they go, well, somebody's gonna risk
Speaker 1: it here to bring this into the country, but it's
Speaker 1: been kind of confusing as to what's going on, and
Speaker 1: everybody's unsure about what they're eating. There's been a lot
Speaker 1: of videos going viral in the wake of this, Like
Speaker 1: there's some woman, she's a farmer, and she did a video.
Speaker 1: It's hilarious because all our animals keep interrupting her in
Speaker 1: the video and she's like, Hey, you shouldn't be eating
Speaker 1: a lot of the food that you're eating to begin with.
Speaker 1: It's not clean.
Speaker 3: Is that said?
Speaker 2: Oh, you're pretty deep down the rabbit hole when you
Speaker 2: no longer believe that chicken is a health food, and
Speaker 2: I don't believe it anymore. For decades we were sold
Speaker 2: this live chicken, that chicken is a healthwood, it's the clean,
Speaker 2: a source.
Speaker 1: Of protein, it's the number all these things.
Speaker 2: It is absolutely not true.
Speaker 1: If you actually look at the.
Speaker 2: Nutrient intensity of proteins, beef is number one, lama is
Speaker 2: number two, venison, bison.
Speaker 1: She's animals.
Speaker 2: Then you get to like fish and pig and act
Speaker 2: the very very bottom, the very very bottom, chicken lower
Speaker 2: than pig. But you know why chicken whoa Because at
Speaker 2: this point, what the hell.
Speaker 1: Was that's the animal? Courtney would say, this is this
Speaker 1: was why we abandoned our idea of retiring and having
Speaker 1: a little farm. At some point, I said, because I
Speaker 1: don't want a bunch of animals dying around me all
Speaker 1: the time. That seems kind of miserable. But that is
Speaker 1: the hilarious realities of living on a farm.
Speaker 2: Because at this point they have I don't want to
Speaker 2: say genetically modified, because I'm going to get in trouble,
Speaker 2: but selectively bred. Will pretend that selectively bread this so
Speaker 2: much that all the health like nutrient and density and
Speaker 2: the health has been absolutely stripped from it.
Speaker 1: You know, she's kind of got a point here. I've
Speaker 1: never thought about this before. This farmer lady says, we're
Speaker 1: told that there's all this selective breeding going on to
Speaker 1: make chicken better. Well, you know what, they never tell
Speaker 1: you that the selective breeding is to make the chicken
Speaker 1: taste better. She said. The selective breeding is to make
Speaker 1: the chicken less susceptible to viruses and different things like that,
Speaker 1: so that they don't get sued, so that they don't
Speaker 1: get more people sick. But it's never to actually make
Speaker 1: anything taste better. And it's actually she he says that
Speaker 1: some of these things that we eat we just think
Speaker 1: are good for us. Like I thought chicken a lot
Speaker 1: of times, it was to make them bigger. You know
Speaker 1: you want you don't want to be eat one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want big, well, big muscular ones. You want big meat,
Speaker 1: big meat chicken. You don't want a tiny meat chicken.
Speaker 1: People are right now very much questioning the food that
Speaker 1: they're eating as a result of folks getting sick from
Speaker 1: cyclospora of information like this coming out, and I think
Speaker 1: it's made people a little hesitant about what they have
Speaker 1: in their diet. Let us know what you think. Send
Speaker 1: a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. All right, quick
Speaker 1: break when we come back, final dispatches, stories that didn't
Speaker 1: make the cut, and today learned to wrap everything up
Speaker 1: for a Tuesday that is coming up next on the
Speaker 1: News Junkie, Big fat thanks to everybody today. I literally
Speaker 1: cannot rattle off all of the people who have gifted subscriptions,
Speaker 1: but I will make sure you all go on to
Speaker 1: do it. I'll start the instrumental to It's the End
