Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now it's time for Basis week Day up Day,
featuring veteran news anchor kt F on tweets. Here are
the important stories he's currently tracking from around the world.
All right, so we're gonna get to this prison break
in a second. We'll say the big story of the week.
Joe Biden was announced yesterday that he has a prostate cancer.
(00:21):
I'm saying a very aggressive form of it as well.
So one of the things, one.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Of the things that sucks about this is prostate cancer
is very treatable and very addressable, and the fact that
it's already spread to his bones. Yeah, it's such a
weird deal because you would think he would have access
to the best healthcare of all time.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
So you're already seeing the conspiracy talk and all that
kind of stuff, and it's not gonna go away. But
prostate cancer is treatable. Yeah, I mean, I know lots
of it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So yeah, more that'll probably be developing and be in
the news next week. So there you go. Last Friday ten,
it's escaped to prison in New Orleans. Now I saw
the story on Friday, but I didn't. We didn't. We
shouldn't fit it into Friday show because, uh, that's very
much of a developing situation. So these inmates they got
out of jail and there's the security cammerage of them
(01:15):
all running off is kind of funny, even though it's
a dangerous situation. The tenders running, well, they're all kind
of jumping because they have to jump. They had to
jump off this dock and they're all running and it
was kind of funny to watch.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Wait are they shackled together?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
No? No, but so they also it looked it looked like, uh,
I don't know, it looked like high school kids getting
caught at their high school surveillance. People running away from
a house. Yeah, get out of here, scatter. So as
of this morning, uh, three have been found. Seven still
at large. I mean they found one in the afternoon,
like right in the middle of what's the big street
(01:49):
in New Orleans right now, it's in the quarter. Yeah.
But there was the funniest part of the story too,
is it, even though like they're all seen as dangerous too.
They were all in there for some pretty heinous crimes.
They took advantage of some broken locks to get out
of their cells, and they exited through a little rectangular
hole that they cut behind the cells a toilet and
(02:12):
sink fixture, and there's a photo that's out from the
jail cell and it's very funny to see how they
got through there. And then above it there's a big
smiley face and it says too easy, Lol, above the
little hole that they went out through. Wow, and two
is misspelled. It's not both o's. It's just perfect. All
(02:33):
of it's great. But they also did not let the
public know until like an hour after they were out,
which is you're gonna get a lot of people in trouble.
They don't want to make people panic. I'm sure, right, Oh,
you have to let.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
People know if ten people escaped, they did they even
know that they had escaped for an hour? I mean
it sounds like some pretty high level in competent.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Probably what they're saying, right, Well, yeah, we waited a
full hour for.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
That to happen. You immediately turned to inside job. Okay, Yeah,
I think I always turned even to job a lover
with one of these inmates in your.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Guard in what regard like turning your back on watching them.
I mean, they cut the own their own hole, right.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Broken locks?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Did y'all well, did y'all watch the deal that been
Stiller directed with Escape from Dana Moore and not didn't
it it?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I thought it was pretty good and it's a true story,
but it kind of lines out how she can start
hooking you up with stuff to cut. You know, there's
a lot of ways that if someone's in on it,
they they can hook you up.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
And it's not very smart. No, but it's not like
they're locking up a ton of smart people. And you
know it's like, uh, if you're like, you're gonna get caught,
Like when, like when do people not get caught? Like,
it's pretty much ninety percent of the time you're gonna
get caught. Clint Eastwood didn't get caught and escape from Alcacaze, right,
(03:59):
I think you in the water. So, you know, it
just doesn't to like it seems like to take the
time to say it was too easy, seems like you'll
regret that.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
That's also like the cocky nature of that it was
like too easy. That makes you do think they were
maybe getting some help. Yeah, So a big investigation happening here.
Seven of them still out there and we'll be watching
for that. So we've caught three of them, caught three
of them. They cut three of them on Friday, like
pretty quickly too. They are very and by the way,
the officials are like, we've had enough tips. We were
(04:31):
very confident this will be wrapped up soon. So well,
I was about to ask, well, Netflix have a docu
series about this before they actually catch all of them.
Our good friend Jesse lives out in California East work
on the Kimel Show, became obsessed with the Texas Seven,
which I remember from when I was a child in
like two thousand and I really think at some point
in the next couple weeks we should do a deep
(04:52):
dive on that. Because of that, they were caught at
a like a store to like a like a TJ
Max or something.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It was very I thought that they ended up killing
someone on the outside.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I think they did. Yeah, we need to find out
more on that, because I do remember that when I
was twelve, and he got obsessed with that for some reason.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It sounds like it would be a good big finish
one day.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, maybe, so we'll find out.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
You'll find out that segment was too easy. Loll all right,
there it goes. The weekly Weekday update. Coming up next
in the sports catchup, the Dallas Stars and Katy Perry.
How they're intertwined. We'll discuss next
