Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, coming up today at five forty five one
of the most highly anticipated segments we've ever done. What
is ballmaxing and why is Kevin Turner so into it?
I can't wait to get his explanation as to what
he's been doing to himself. But right now it's time
for this.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Are you excited?

Speaker 3 (00:18):
And all gets turning?

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Sweet Day Day featuring veteran news anchor Kti fun tweets.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
I mean he's about to buy sports Predict down at
the sports Predict app today. Go to sportspredict dot com
slash eagle to join my free pools for a chance
to win Pluckers gift card. Okay, so Ben, you're going
to Nebraska, which is where some people who run that
Haunt of IRUs cruise ship are being quarantined and studied.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, and the reason they do it there is because
no one would ever go to Nebraska for any reason,
So you don't really run the risk of a bunch
of people hurrying to Nebraska unless you're my family and
you have to go there for a basketball tournament.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I will say I have heard that the College Baseball
World Series is a big fun drinking of it, but
it just feels like it'll be so hot in June.

Speaker 5 (01:02):
Yeah, oh my god, in Nebraska.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
But you know there's cornfields they have that. What I
have is and we're going to two segments on this.
Let's get to the bottom of this. Let's not be
out there wondering what's going around with hauntavirus. If you
bump into someone at the bank, people still go to
the bank, don't they.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
If you bump into someone out in public, they got
a question about it, you know, you should need to
tell them. All right, we don't need fear bongering. We
need to need to know the real story. So I'm
going to give you, through about ten to twelve news clips,
what's actually happening with the haunt of virus and is

(01:41):
the news media handling this properly as well. Let's start
off with when this all began.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Deadly outbreak of a rare rodent virus.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
On board a cruise.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
Shit, the race to contain a suspected deadly virus outbreak,
the public health.

Speaker 7 (01:54):
Threat is so dangerous, nightmare at sea, cruise chaosity, a
cruise from hell.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Yep, none of that is appealing.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, and yeah, I think we everybody still has you know,
coronavirus virus hangover right, and so people are going, God,
I can't do this again? Or did we did we
learn anything from the last time? Did we handle it perfectly?

Speaker 8 (02:19):
Like?

Speaker 5 (02:19):
What could we have done differently? Are we about to
go through that again? I think everybody's worried about that.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't want to have a mask again. Can we
just not? You know?

Speaker 7 (02:27):
I think there's also a heightened sense of what is
and isn't real with RFK Junior running things.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
It's kind of a wild guy with some wild theories.

Speaker 7 (02:36):
And so it's fine, you know, to kind of cruise
along when nothing bad has happened, but when you really
have to test the boundaries of yeah, who's in charge
of everyone's health?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
And you go, wait a minute.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Some of his ideas are kind of scare me a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
The guy with the brain worm who owns falcons and
m us in his backyard and has been on the
record of eating bear meat and whale meat.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah, we all be eating whale meat. Gave off the
Haunta virus.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
I love roadkill.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
You got to put mayonnaise in relation in it. If
you're gonna eat whale meat, you got to turn it
into like a salad, whale meat salad.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
So are we going to die? Yep.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's not like COVID. It's not like measles.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
It's not a very efficient transmission.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
The overall risk to the public is low.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
You don't need to be hysterical about it.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
All right, there we go there.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
I wouldn't talk trash to it. It could be listening.
I've always been plagued by inefficient transmission.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
That felt like a bunch of experts rat there, kind
of telling us all very quickly. We're good, right, we
are good. Now. This is again about a week and
a half ago. Yeah, it's a little build up. But again,
this is three different experts.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's not like COVID. It's not like measles.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
It's not a very efficient transmission.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
The overall risk to the public is low.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
You don't need to be hysterical about it.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
We're good, Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's that cuban on the last one.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Or all those clips on the view.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
How did this start?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Though?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
How did the haunt of virus start?

Speaker 4 (03:55):
A husband and wife who were the first to be
stricken with the so called rat virus went bird watching
at a rat infested landfill when their cruise ship was
docked at a remote city in Argentina.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Okay, all right, hold on.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
This.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
If this, if the world is in trouble because of
bird watchers, let's just go ahead and ban it.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
No one could ever go and.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Why would they, Like, you're on a big, expensive cruise, Like, hey,
you go to this beach or this landfill and look
at rats and birds, rat infested landfill.

Speaker 7 (04:30):
That's not a place to go for anybody, not for
any reason.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Look, I just a guy lives in West Richardson, in
the main streets of West Richardson. I had a blue
jay and a cardinal and a blackbird all at once
in the backyard the other day. And it definitely took
twenty minutes of my day just.

Speaker 8 (04:45):
Looking at It's so good.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
It's so good.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
But birds, birds are badass.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
But it's not gonna make me go to a rat
infested land.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
I'm gonna travel the globe looking for the best rat
infested landfills to watch birds.

Speaker 8 (04:58):
You're not retired yet. He was looking for some rare
bird that was only in this rat infested landfill and
he wanted to see it. Man, I don't even think
they actually found that bird too, that they were looking
for me.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
That's the worst part, you know. God, I remember Kitchin.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
I remember my grandparents just staring at the hummingbird feeder.

Speaker 8 (05:16):
Dude, my parents have like three and they have like
ten hummingbirds that will go over to them.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
And it's awesome to see that. Many hummingbirds are incredible.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
They work their ass off. Those wings are out of control.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
So in this timeline, we're in the early days of
the Haunt of virus. But when we come back, this
is where we're progressing. You'll hear from some more experts.
But what happens when the Haunt of virus collides with
Mother's Day? Next to ninety seven won the Eagle?

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Before we get there, what happens if you collide with
another card it's not your fault. You need the Frankeles
two one four three three three thirty three thirty three.
If you've been involved in a wreck, that's not your fault,
call the Frankeles. There's three partners over there, Mark and
Scott Frankel and Jean Briquette and great dudes, good friends
of ours. We've been friends with them for a long time.
And man, you see them nominated for awards all the time,

(06:02):
and again they were all three nominated for Best Lawyers
in Town and d magazine and just more high.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Praise for them.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
But I can just tell you, and there's an email
right now.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
But if you're.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Involved in a wreck, you need the Franks. You may
be thinking, well, I can't afford to call lawyer. No,
it costs you nothing to call the Frankels. They only
get paid if they reach a settlement on your behalf.
It's exactly what they did for me at the end
of it all. They got me a nice cash settlement
and they have a long track record of doing that.
When you talk about thirty plus years of being advocates
for injury victims, that's what you get with Frankel and Frankel.

(06:32):
They know what the insurance company's doing, which is not
taking care of you. So they're going to make sure
that they do. They're gonna fight for you and get
you the settlement that you deserve. It sucks to have
something like this happen. You get hurt, it's not your fault,
someone's being negligent or careless, and now you have medical bills,
miss time from work, long term injuries, medical I mean,
all this stuff adds up. Who's going to make sure

(06:54):
you get taken care of Franklin Frankel and that happens
with no out of pocket expenses two one four three
three three thirty three thirty three or eight one seven
three three three thirty three thirty three. Call the Frankels first.
Franklin Frankel chosen by the people and feared by the
insurance companies. Fire NK e L call Frankel first, and in.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
Skin Show ninety seven point one the Eagle. Let's talk
about the Dallas Cowboys schedule. What do we know about it?
It's going to be officially announced tonight at seven o'clock.
But we have a few things that we know for sure.
We'll talk about here in fifteen minutes. But right now,
let's get it back to Kevin, who is taking us
through all the details of the Haunt of Virus.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, trying to make sure that we're all educated on
what's going on here. Thank you, and where we're at
in this timeline, because I've kind of taken you from
the beginning and where we are and how the news
is covering this. We're now moving on to that first
little wave. So this is like early last week. Okay,
and this is multiple experts on multiple networks who might
affiliate themselves with both sides of the political aisle. The

(07:56):
potential to spread beyond an outbreak is fair, should be
pretty limited, should keep it contained, shouldn't really have any
concern at all.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I have no concern about that, all right.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
No concern from multiple people who have definitely spent more
time in doctor school. It's now it's not hitting me
that it was. Medical school would have been the right
play there.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
I like doctor school doctors.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
So we have all that.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
We're good.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
But let's go to the Friday before Mother's Day. Okay,
So six days ago to nightline, a.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
Dream vacation turning into a floating nightmare. Authority is now
working to stop the spread and track down passengers who've
already left the ship.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Including to the US.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
The lowing question, could this be called the next pandemic?

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Okay? Phil Collins on the drums, Geez.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
African drums to support this news piece.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
So that's Friday.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
Here's what I've learned from all this. I'm gonna need
a really big and horse in the paid vacation.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
To go on a cruise.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Oh yeah, I.

Speaker 8 (09:03):
Think that's what I've learned from all there's also been
a neurovirus and some other virus on a cruise within
the past two weeks.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Like it's man, it's tough.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
I'm gonna need a huge endorsement fee to go to
a rat infested.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Uh I feel yeah, uh okay, So that's here's another expert.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Okay, doctor Rasmussen, do you have any concerns about the
process of the passengers returning to their home countries?

Speaker 5 (09:28):
So I don't actually have any concerns about this process
from a scientific perspective, because I actually think that.

Speaker 6 (09:34):
The process itself is completely suitable for this virus.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Now, it's fine to do that because it's not COVID.
It's not the novel COVID. Well you know the first one,
the novel coronavirus. It's the haunt of virus. It's actually
known about. Yeah, we know how to stop it. You
just need some pepto. This is like, it's this is.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Kind of crazy.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Okay. So now we've got this going. We got a
report from the scene of the dock where the boat
is on the water, anchored in the water. And here's
what we got.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
Right now, we're in the port where the ship won't
even be allowed to dock.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
You can have a look at what this looks like.

Speaker 8 (10:13):
For those are the Americans finally on board that evacuation boat.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
You're looking at a portion of a bus that looks
similar to the ones that people have gotten onto.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Here's a bus that looks similar to the one that
people have gotten onto it as we are.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
So they exited the ship, now the boat.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yes, so they're just going to blow up the boat
right like there's no reason to let it exist.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Well, and we don't have really footage of that, though.
We just can show you a bus that looks like
a bus that they got on. We're there on the scene.

Speaker 5 (10:40):
This bus looks like most buses. Yeah, they could do.

Speaker 7 (10:43):
They could just get an audio engineer and put him
in a hazmat suit and he could go on that
bus and or that boat and clean it and then
get a promotion beyond his skill level.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
That we were working in a rat infested studio for
a while, Yeah, there were rats up here.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
We might have had it. We might have had it
during that seriously, like sirious, Like it's crazy. The big
fat rat behind the vending machines, something were in the
boards up here, like, dude, Okay.

Speaker 7 (11:09):
God drives me crazy. Every time we let the dogs out.
There's a rat that's out there, and then my dog
goes chasing after it, and I'm like, no, I don't
want you to put your mouth on that thing, and
then trying to come back inside.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
There's an argument for rat snakes. Maybe he should holler at.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Gary yep, then get Gary on the phone.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, he's has not placed his third quarter of ad By.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
We need to get in touch with him. I just
I don't think he's paid since twenty twenty four.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, he is back. He's in arrears.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Do you remember what Sunday was?

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Mother?

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, yeah, Mother's Day.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
It's a very happy Mother's Day to all you moms
out there.

Speaker 6 (11:45):
This morning, that cruise ship hit by a deadly hunt
of virus.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
The State of our Union is calling our mom.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
This morning, seventeen Americans are beginning a trip back to
the US.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Happy Mother's date.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
All the mom's watching.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Let's kick this off, pandemic panic.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
It's so funny, amazing, dude.

Speaker 7 (12:02):
Do you know what, though moms loved this kind of
news they do, it really is super serving them.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Okay, Newsmax has a lady on there, and she's not
ready to let this go. She wants the haunt devirus
to affect every American.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
Does this have the markings of the next pandemic?

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Or no? No? Should we still not be sounding the alarm?

Speaker 5 (12:21):
I don't think we have to be very anxious about it.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Should we be worried that we have an American here
who's tested positive now it's a low risk to Americans?
Or should we still not be worried by this here
in America?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Correct?

Speaker 6 (12:33):
I don't think that this poses any risks to the
general republic.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Jesus, are you sure? Are you sure?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Tell me?

Speaker 7 (12:41):
I need a little bit of We should have been
son on once a week and call it Newsmax and
then he can just like gheit us up to date
on everything going on.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
And then last week, this is an expert who's tired
of getting questions.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
What is your message to Americans who are still scared?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
We have been reputing that the same mindset many times.
This is not ANVIK and that is to the public
is low. They shouldn't be scared.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
And they shouldn't panic, and there is concern out there
that more positive cases could pop up.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
The dude, the transition out of a guy saying it's
not fine.

Speaker 7 (13:20):
The follow up, the follow up question is is it
okay to make out with someone that has haunted virus?

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Doing?

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Man, this is not a big deal. Okay, there we go.
We all know that he is.

Speaker 7 (13:33):
There is congratulations did we know? I didn't know week
and a half ago. I'm scared, but then I stopped
being scared.

Speaker 5 (13:40):
All Right, There you have it.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
There's the latest everything you need to know about the
haunted virus and final final verdict is safe safe, do
not worry. Coming up next, are the Cowboys safe?

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (13:50):
The schedule is getting released tonight. We're starting to get
some of the details they are leaking out. We'll talk
about that next and cussing the Cowboys before we get there.
Thank you to our friend Randy Parrish Parish Roofing Solutions,
small family owned business. We love these guys, and if
you haven't had anybody up on your roof in a while,
call Randy. Call Parish Roofing. Randy or his wife will answer.
Like I said, small family owned business. You won't see

(14:12):
Parish Roofing advertising all over the place, but they.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
Support us and that means the world to us.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
So If you support our show and you own your
own home, you have a roof, let Randy come out
and just check it for you, make sure that it's
water tight. The reality is we should all get somebody
up on our roof at least once a year because
of the storms that come through the hail of the
high winds, it could displace shingles on your roof and
if that happens, water could be seeping into your home.
If that's the case, it could rot the wood and

(14:37):
lead to major financial damages. That's why it's important for
you just to make sure your roof is water tight.
Don't trust the guys going door to door in your neighborhood.
There's no licensing for roofers in the state of Texas.
A lot of these guys aren't even real companies. If
they do get some sucker to let them up on
their roof, they'll just go hire subcontractors. That's not what
we're talking about with Randy Parrish Parish Roofing Solutions call
them today two one four two two seven four eight eight.

Speaker 7 (15:01):
Yeah, do not fall for the door to door stuff.
Go with someone who's been around a long time. Is
in the case of Randy we talked about this. Parish
Roofing Solutions has been around the DFW for over a
decade now. That's a huge accomplishment for any business, but
especially contractors. It shows that they've done it the right way.
They know how to get you taken care of. They
stand behind their work. It's a reputation business and Randy

(15:21):
Parrish's reputation is awesome. We love partnering with him and
he's the one to turn to. So if you haven't
had that roof looked at in a while, there could
be leaks. Randy's not gonna sell you a roof you
don't need. You can trust him. He's your guy long term.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
