But man, we have 14 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: more things to say. So every Saturday we're continuing the conversation. 15 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: We're going a little deeper on the stories that got 16 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: us either got us talking or got us worked up 17 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: or both. 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 3: And man, what a week TJ. 19 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 2: There are some stories that if we continue to follow, 20 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: and then some just blew our minds. Some came out 21 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 2: of nowhere, and some were fun. Some had us. But yeah, 22 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 2: there's so much we do. We try to keep our 23 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: morning runs to twenty minutes or so, but there's so 24 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: much we would love to keep saying. And this is 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: a chance to give us to say it, So we 26 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: kind of honing in on some of these stories. 27 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, and hope it sparks a conversation with you as well, 28 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: get you thinking. And I do want to point this out. 29 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: We are deliberately leaving out any Diddy trial coverage because 30 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: we have an entirely other podcast for that. So if 31 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: you want to get caught up on Diddy, check out 32 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: our feed, because we actually have Diddy wraps every single 33 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: day after trial to get you up to speed on 34 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: all that's going on with that trial. 35 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: So we don't have any more to say on that. 36 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 3: No, so we're no Didty news here. 37 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: We get and run down on this podcast, but check 38 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: out our other ones if you want all of that, 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: because there's a lot to digest. All right, We're going 40 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: to start with Man, a story that captivated us all 41 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: week long and it's going to continue into next week likely. 42 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: But those escaped inmates out of New Orleans. Initially ten 43 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: inmates were able to get out of jail, and some 44 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: of these were extremely violent offenders, one of whom has 45 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: even been convicted of murder, but some of them waiting 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: on murder charges. 47 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 3: But they pulled a toilet off. 48 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: The wall and escaped through a hole and left a 49 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: fun little message for guards. 50 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: It was that it was kind of bizarre that it 51 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: was that easy. We've been talking about it all week. 52 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: They're still in the roung very dangerous, and New Orleans 53 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: is on edge right now. But for arrest have now 54 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: been made in this case, the maintenance guy who cut 55 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: off the water, and then three women who helped the 56 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 2: men in various ways before and after the escape. The 57 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 2: escape the maintenance guy is the one that I mean, 58 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: I chuckled a little bit. None of this should be funny. 59 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: But his story initially was, Hey, they were threatening me, 60 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: so I didn't have a choice but to do this. 61 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: Then he got a lawyer, and his lawyer came out 62 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 2: to the public and said, well, it wasn't exactly that way. 63 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 3: Which one do you buy neither? How about that. 64 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: The second one where he said he was just doing his. 65 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: Job an overflowing toilet. 66 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: Yes, he was told that they needed to cut the 67 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: water off and he did it. Boom bam boom. Is 68 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: that not reasonable? 69 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: No, it's not, because here's mister Sterling Williams. When his 70 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: story changed as to why he turned off the water, 71 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: which allowed the inmates to pull the. 72 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: Toilet off the wall. 73 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: He now says a guard told him, Hey, there's a 74 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: toilet overflowing. 75 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 3: You need to take care of that. So that's when 76 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 3: he shut off the water. 77 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: Coincidentally, a little while after, he claims, one of those 78 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: inmates threatened him with a shank to turn the water off. 79 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: So it just happened to be that way. But when pressed, 80 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: he couldn't give the guard's name. He couldn't remember who 81 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: told him to turn off the water. It's I'm sorry, 82 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: this is an obvious. 83 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: You don't know which one it was. I mean, it 84 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: was a very traumatic event going on. They say people 85 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: go through trump and they often have memory loss, so 86 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: you can't remember anything. 87 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: There should have been a defense lawyer. 88 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: Not only to be a defense law I just can 89 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: see things both ways. Now we smile this a little bit, 90 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: and I'll be honest. Over the years, there have been escaped. 91 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: We have covered, especially in local news and whatnot, offenders 92 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: with various backgrounds and crimes they've been charged with. I 93 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: generally root for someone who gets out of jail. And 94 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: I say that because I'm not mad at the inmate. 95 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: It's not your fault if somebody locks you up in jail. 96 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: Your job then twenty four hours is to try to 97 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: get out. Everybody wants to be free, so you can't 98 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: be mad at them for wanting to be free. You 99 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: can be mad as hell at this jail because you didn't. 100 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: You told me this morning they'll convicted as a convicted 101 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: killer who got out through a hole behind a damn toilet. 102 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: Exactly and left a message saying too easy. 103 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: Lol. 104 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: But now this is real consequences because two of the 105 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: prosecutors have had to leave the area because they are 106 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: fearing for their lives and their families' lives. Witnesses have 107 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: had to be relocated. People are scared, as you might 108 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: imagine if you live or if you're even visiting the 109 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: New Orleans area to know these dangerous men are not 110 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: only on the. 111 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,239 Speaker 3: Loose, but desperate to stay free. 112 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: So or knows what would happen if you encountered them. 113 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 3: You now have. 114 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: And it took them a couple of days for the 115 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: Louisiana State Police to even say, hey, these men are 116 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: armed and dangerous, and yes, now they're going after the 117 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: folks who are aiding and abetting them to stay out 118 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: and to stay free. 119 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: Because this is so. 120 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: Serious and here's another glaring issue with the story. It's 121 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: now come out the timeline of what happened these inmates, 122 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: because they have it on video. Escaped at one am. 123 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: They had them on video, no one was watching the 124 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: video monitors, no security cameras were being monitored. So they 125 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: have them on video running. I'm sure you've seen it 126 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: if you've been watching television coverage of this, and no 127 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: one knew they were gone until eight thirty in the 128 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: morning when they did a cell check. Then at eight 129 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: thirty in the morning when they realized ten dangerous criminals 130 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: are on the loose New Orleans. 131 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 3: Two hours goes. 132 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: By before local police are notified to start looking for 133 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: these men. That is that is inexcusable, and so it 134 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: is very likely and from the local officials already saying 135 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: heads are going to roll for this and they should. 136 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: Maybe criminally for what has taken place. So this is Look, 137 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: this is a scary time for the folks in New 138 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: Orleans right now because they can tell the guys who 139 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: are not having left town and they have nothing to 140 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: lose around around town. So that's one that certainly it 141 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,679 Speaker 2: continues to be a story after a full week. Another 142 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: story on Tuesday had people's attention that one of the 143 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: January sixth rioters is now being given five million dollars 144 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 2: at least her family is. We're talking about Ashley Babbitt, 145 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: you might remember that name. She was shot and kills 146 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 2: she was trying to there's video, I think a pretty 147 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 2: famous video at this point of her trying to climb 148 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 2: through a broken window that was going to the Speaker's lobby. 149 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: Her family gets five million dollars, essentially a wrongful death 150 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: settlement here. This set a lot of people, including the 151 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: Capitol police, like this. 152 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 3: Is wrong exactly. 153 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: So this didn't go over so well with a lot 154 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: of folks, especially the law enforcement folks who were there 155 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: and desperately trying to protect not just the Capitol but 156 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: the congressmen and women inside the Capital who were, you know, 157 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: hunkered down and fearing for their lives. But yes, that hallway, 158 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: that Speaker's lobby that she was getting into through the 159 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: broken window that would have given her and there were 160 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: plenty of others behind her access to the House of 161 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: Representatives chamber. 162 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: That's scary. 163 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: And the Capitol police officer's duty is to protect the 164 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: lives of the people inside. So the US Capitol Police 165 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: officer who shot and killed Babbitt was cleared of any 166 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: criminal wrongdoing in the incident. However, the family sued for 167 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars and the Trump administration decided to settle 168 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: with them for five million. And yes, the US Capitol 169 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: Police chief said that it was disappointing and they were 170 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: certainly upset with the decision. And a lot of folks 171 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: will have different opinions about whether or not she was 172 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: a criminal and a rioter or she was a patriot, 173 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: and you know, you see where the Trump administration has 174 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: fallen on those lines, but it certainly doesn't sit well 175 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: with a lot of law enforcement who do put their 176 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: lives on the line each and every day to protect 177 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: the people inside that capital. 178 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: On Wednesday, we had a story. This is a this 179 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: is an ongoing story. This one has to do with, 180 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: of course, former President Biden announced he does have an 181 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: aggressive form of prostate cancer. It was not caught in 182 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: his time as president, but it metastasized to his bone. 183 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: So this had been going on for years and years 184 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: and years, and everybody was wondering, well, what does how 185 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: do we not know that this guy who was monitored 186 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: more than any patient on Earth probably, how do you 187 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: not know he has prostate cancer? And they came out 188 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: and say his last known one and this got everybody talk. 189 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: And the last time that his eighty two year old 190 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 2: man had a prostate screening was back in twenty fourteen. 191 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: It's funny because the second time you said that the 192 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: last time he had a test, we don't even know 193 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: if that's true. As you point out, the last known 194 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: test result was in twenty fourteen. 195 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: That's the problem. What does that mean? Last known? 196 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: It sounds evasive, It doesn't sound transparent, and it doesn't 197 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: sound it sounds like it's a little trickery with words 198 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: so as to not completely but to not completely tell 199 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: the whole story. 200 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: Last known? Would he know? Would he know the last 201 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: time he got a screening? 202 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: Well, that's unclear, I mean, but I would think at 203 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: the very least the physician to the president of the 204 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: United States should know. And a lot of folks were 205 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: talking about malpractice that if he wasn't being tested for this, 206 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: even though the federal guidelines say once you're seventy you 207 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: don't need to be tested every year because there are 208 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: a lot of false positives and a lot of unnecessary testing. 209 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: But that is for the average seventy year old. And 210 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: I still believe if you're seventy and you'd like to 211 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: be tested, you can be. You can ask for it, 212 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: you can request it, and I would think as president 213 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: of the United States, that would be of the utmost concern. 214 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: So it doesn't feel right that this wasn't happening. It 215 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: feels weird how they've worded it. And have we heard 216 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: from the physician himself. I mean, I would like if 217 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: they really want full transparency and they want to say, hey, 218 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: we just didn't do it because it wasn't under the 219 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,479 Speaker 1: federal guidelines. 220 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 3: I like to see this doctor actually. 221 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: Come out and say that we didn't test him for 222 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: or this, because we haven't heard that definitively. 223 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: Well, the result they went back and they have checked 224 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 2: his they could put them out publicly listed they put 225 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 2: it out publicly. Yes, So if then you got a problem. 226 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 2: Then if you did test him and then you weren't 227 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: putting it out as a part of his medical report, 228 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: that's the problem. Why did you leave it off? So 229 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 2: you have to assume it was not done. So if 230 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: it was not done, why it should have been done. Right, 231 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: let's do it that person. 232 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: All, every single person who has looked at this, who 233 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: has a medical degree much smarter than the two of 234 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: us when it comes to what you need to do 235 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: to make sure someone is healthy and to ensure that 236 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: they're fit to be president of the United States. 237 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: That's what we're talking about, President of the United States. 238 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: To say, well, you know, the guidelines say we shouldn't 239 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 2: test them, so we skipped. It's that's got to be 240 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: bull Yeah, there's no way, got to be bullshit. 241 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: I can't believe it. 242 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: It just doesn't make any sense and to have now 243 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: and it's unfortunate because. 244 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: We don't know. 245 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't sound like that he had any 246 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: idea that he had stage four cancer, because they did 247 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: come out and say that prior to Friday last Friday, 248 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: President Biden has never been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now 249 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: that is a very clear, definitive statement. 250 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: So a Jeohnvre you share, there's no nuance in that one. 251 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 3: Right, there isn't Friday Friday, he. 252 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: Had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer. So that that 253 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 2: means we just found out. 254 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: Yes, So that would make sense that the doctor, the 255 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: physician did not test him like that. 256 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 3: I just can't get my head around that. 257 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,599 Speaker 2: I can't. Maybe they are absolutely following the guide that 258 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: we need an explanation for that one, but that just 259 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: seems that's bizarre. 260 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: The guidelines when I found my cancer at the age 261 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: of forty were that a woman with no prior family 262 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: history should have to have a mammogram until they were fifty. 263 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: I chose to do it for a work assignment, as 264 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: could any other woman in her forties. She could say, Hey, 265 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: I would like to get a mammogram earlier than the 266 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: federal guidelines suggest. 267 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: That led to my cancer diagnosis. So I'm just who 268 00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: I am. 269 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: Can you imagine the president saying, ah, you know what, 270 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: you're outside of the guideline, so let's not do the test. 271 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: I don't know. 272 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 3: Maybe that blows my mind. 273 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 2: We said all the time people sometimes you don't go 274 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: to the doctor because you don't want to know. Maybe 275 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 2: they didn't want to know because maybe they knew they 276 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 2: would then have to put it out. Maybe that was 277 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 2: the case. I don't know, But they're leaving us all 278 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 2: to guests and wonder. But what we're getting cannot just get. 279 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: It's hard. I want to trust and believe what they 280 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 2: put out. It just doesn't make sense. 281 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: You know so many yeah, so many people don't trust 282 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: our government as it is. I would say a large 283 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: portion of people don't. This does not go anyway and 284 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: helping that feeling that somehow we only get. 285 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: Information that they deem worthy of us. Knowing about. 286 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 2: Another story we talked a lot about, folks, remember that 287 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: the video certainly of the fan at the Pittsburgh Pirates 288 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: game falling over railing and falling onto the playing field 289 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: while the game was still going on. He is still 290 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: recovering from some really serious injuries. But rose this it felt, 291 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's the letter of the law, but 292 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: maybe not the spirit of the law. Someone has been 293 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: arrested now for giving that man who fell alcohol. Now 294 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 2: why would that be the case? Robes Because it turns 295 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: out the man who fell is technically a minor. 296 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: He's twenty, and the man who's been charged is his friend. 297 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: Who's twenty one. Now I have not found what. 298 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: Their birthdays are exactly, but let's just guess that they're 299 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: within months of each other. So yes, officially, Cavin Markwood 300 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: who fell and got seriously injured, is twenty, and technically 301 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: his friend Ethan Kirkwood, who got charged is twenty one. 302 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: But do we really think it serves any purpose to 303 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: then charge this twenty one year old friend of his 304 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: with providing alcohol to a miner when there's already been 305 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: enough consequences as it is. I'm sure he feels terrible 306 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: and this isn't what anyone want to happen. And there 307 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: are also other issues. It seems like they were able 308 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: to point to him having two beers. Who knows what 309 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: they consume beforehand, who knows how much they actually had. 310 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: We haven't been given a blood alcohol level or anything 311 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: like that. But to me, no matter what state you're in, 312 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: if you just jump up and cheer on your your 313 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: favorite team and you are able to be catapulted over 314 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: a railing, that railing is an issue more than whether 315 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: or not you're a friend of a couple months older 316 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: senior than you gave you a beer or two. 317 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 2: The fall looked, it looked awful when you see the 318 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: video of how he came, I mean he catapulted it 319 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: out of that seat, just excited in the excitement of 320 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 2: the game. It felt. From law enforcement's position, we have 321 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: evidence of a crime that took place, and we are 322 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 2: going to prosecute that, why would we give them a break? Now, 323 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: you don't want cops to be able to pick and 324 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: choose who they decide to prosecute who they don't decide 325 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: to arrest in all these things. But this is one 326 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: where if y'all told me they just let the guy 327 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 2: go where I would just I would be okay with that. 328 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: His friend is in the hospital, bust it up. I 329 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: don't know if he thinks it's his fault. I know 330 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 2: he feels bad, of course, but I don't know he 331 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: feels like, Wow, I shouldn't have give him that beer 332 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: and then he wouldn't have fallen, or maybe he. 333 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 3: Does or what if? 334 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: What could he have been just as enthusiastic, completely sober. 335 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a fair thing as well. 336 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: And also, if you're gonna start going after people, now 337 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: go after the people who served the twenty one year 338 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: old a beer and gave him two beers without seeing 339 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: a second id. 340 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: You know a lot of places are that strict. 341 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 2: Two twenty four hours beer? Is that a big beer? 342 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 343 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: And you have to go like if you sometimes when 344 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: you go to the airport or you go to a lounge, 345 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: they will only give you or me one drink. To 346 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: give me the second drink, they need to see the 347 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: second person's ID. That is technically what should happen, so 348 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: you could start pointing fingers all around. I just think 349 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: it's it's unnecessary to go ahead and go through this 350 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: legal process with this twenty one year old. It just 351 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: I feel like it's just adding insult to injury. 352 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: But again, they following the letter of the law. Well, 353 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: on Thursday, we're gona wrap up our last two stories. 354 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: They have to do with commit addresses. Two very different 355 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: commencement addresses. One given by a frog, the oven given 356 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: by a plagiarizer. This was at Smith College in Massachusetts. 357 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: It's an elite so women's college, isn't it. Yes, yes, 358 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: an elite women's college. Well, Evelyn Harris was the graduation speaker. 359 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: She's a longtime musician and a vocal coach. But she 360 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 2: gave the speech and she got an honorary degree as well. 361 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: But Rohobes just days later she no longer had that 362 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 2: honorary degree. She had to relinquish it. I think it's 363 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: the right. 364 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: Word, call it a dishonorary degree or something like that. 365 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: Where yeah, she admitted to borrowing much of her speech, 366 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: and she actually said she borrowed it without the attribution 367 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: typical of and central to the ideals of academic integrity, 368 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: which we said aka is plagiarism. It's kind of mind 369 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: blowing that someone who is a teacher, who is all 370 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: about education, that is incredible to me that she would 371 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: think it is okay to borrow other people's words to 372 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: inspire students. This is what she had been doing for 373 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: decades on her own. And you, I think you said 374 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: this in the morning run. How is it that she, 375 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: over all those years didn't acquire enough wisdom or anecdotes, 376 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: or just messages of hope or inspiration personal stories that 377 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: could inspire these students to go out in the world. 378 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: The fact that she was so lazy and succeedful even 379 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: I think lazy. 380 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 2: I think maybe it caught up with her. She was 381 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: trying to come up with some something profound and deep 382 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: and heavy and sound smart, and maybe she couldn't find 383 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: her own words and couldn't put it the right way 384 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 2: and just got lazy. That is the best benefit of 385 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: the doubt I can give her, Because anyone that works 386 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: in academia, plagiarism is everything you get kicked out of 387 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: school for that, and it's gotten worse because of all 388 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: these chat right, yeah, all this stuff, and it's harder 389 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 2: to monitor these things, and they have services out that 390 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 2: people will write your stuff for all this stuff. It's everything. 391 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 2: And to think that in that moment, the last act, 392 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: the last speech, the last lesson they get is from 393 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 2: her on their graduation. 394 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: Well maybe the lesson is don't cheat, don't steal, because 395 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: if you do, you're gonna get found out. And it's 396 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: humiliating this woman, Evelyn Harris, that unfortunately, is going to 397 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: be what people remember her most for at that college. 398 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: And that's not what anybody would want. And it's certainly 399 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: not the lesson you want to teach someone the hard 400 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: way like that. 401 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 3: Have you given a commencement addressed before? 402 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 2: We given a couple before. 403 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: Ye. 404 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I could go give one right now because 405 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 2: we have enough life experience that that woman should have 406 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 2: been able to stand up there just start spitting. 407 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: And also just I don't every commencement address is different, 408 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: but I was given five to seven minutes, and I 409 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: think they usually don't go longer than ten minutes because 410 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: it's a length maybe fifteen at the most. You're not 411 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: having to go ahead and give a dissertation for an hour. 412 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 3: This is this is impactful. 413 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: Your words matter, and you get to say it pretty succinctly. 414 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: So it just is mind blowing to me that she 415 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: couldn't come up with something on her own. 416 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 2: She was outdone in the commencement addressed department by a 417 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 2: damn frog the hand of his butt. This is the story, 418 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 2: the other one that really really got us going. Kermit 419 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 2: the Frog gave the commencement address at the University of 420 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 2: Maryland this week. Maryland is where Jim Hinson, the creative, 421 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: the publics went pub Pits went to college. They actually 422 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 2: have a statue of Kermit the Frog and of Jim 423 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 2: Hinson on campus, so he has ties. But the question 424 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 2: still is, if you just spent one hundred thousand dollars 425 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: on your child going to school, they're graduating, and their 426 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 2: speaker is a puppet is a frog, would you be 427 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: okay with that? 428 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I might just for just to see what happens. 429 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 1: I'd be interested, but I don't know how inspired I 430 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: would be, and I might be a little irritated. I 431 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: just myself sat through some commencement address speeches last week 432 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: as my daughter graduated from college. 433 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 3: And you look forward to that. I got inspired. 434 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: We had the amazing Molly Shannon give the one at 435 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: NYU and she was phenomenal. It was personal, it was 436 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: interesting a frog, you know, and also just his voice 437 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: to take him seriously as he's speaking into the microphone. 438 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: You listened to the whole thing. 439 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't find a transcript of it anywhere, so laughing, 440 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: I took the time and listened to the I listened 441 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 2: to a frog a ten fifteen minutes. 442 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 3: Were you inspired? 443 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: He has some good nuggets, is the thing. I was 444 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 2: surprised at how much his jokes did not land. 445 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: They were dad jokes. 446 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 2: They were There were dad jokes.
