the bottom of this. Oh yay, would you share medication

Speaker 3 (01:29):
I'm really I'm leaning against the idea that he that
he took this viagra. I just for whatever reason, I
just for whatever reason. Yeaheah, I'm just I'm just not
buying it. Somebody wants what it is. Hold on, let
me see here. I'm I missed. I was going to
bring up some some of a bitch I lost. I
(01:51):
lost a message here I was going to read, but.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Uh, I don't know. I lost whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
There was one I was going to tell you about
somebody at a very good point, but I completely lost it,
and I'm sorry I forgot. Felicia sent an email and
she talks about the We talked about the cop that
was killed in Ritman, which is I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Somebody said it's like twenty minutes from my house. I'll
take your word. Yeah, it's losing Madinah County. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And a woman writes in she says the cop was
killed after he responded to a report of some sort
of break in or domestic disturbance or something.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
And he shows up.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
The guy that's in the house starts shooting at the cops,
kills one Andrew's like five others or something, and then
kills himself. Turns out that he murdered his ex girlfriend
and her daughter. Anyways, this person writes in, Christy McWilliams
was my best friend. She and her daughter were murdered
(02:59):
by her ex boyfriend, Brandon. Her and Brandon were together
for approximately six years, but then he stalked and harassed
her for the last two years because she would not
let him come back to live at the home. He
was a drunk who drank handles of liquor every day.
Christy tried to help him by getting him into programs,
but he would always leave them within a couple of days.
(03:22):
His mother blamed Christy for Brandon's issues. Christy did all
she could to help him. He could not help himself,
and his mother enabled him. Christy and McKinley sometimes that
the girls the daughter were murdered by this man in
their own home that he broke into that evening. I
heard you talk about it yesterday. I just wanted to
make sure you knew what really happened. I don't want
(03:44):
to make this email too longe and go into every detail.
But this was Brandon going to Christie's home to murder
her and he successfully did that.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
That's crazy, isn't it. That's so sad. I mean, Jesus
christ it's you Know. What it tells me is men, women, whoever,
you need to have a firearm in your home, because
(04:15):
how do you protect yourself if you're this woman here
who ends up murdered and her young daughter murdered. I
think it's beyond that.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
No, if somebody's breaking into your home, some crazy ex boyfriend,
you blast him. You blast his ass. You have to
be able to take care of yourself. Yes, the cops
showed up too late. Though he killed him. How did
he kill I don't know how I killed him. If
I must have shot him, I guess.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Oh. The shootout I think last for a while.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Man, But you know, anybody, and I even if your
anti gun, I think you should have just in your home.
You don't have to carry him around all the time.
But in your own home you should have something in
there so that if an intruder comes in, you can
defend yoursel self. Does not guarantee, doesn't mean it's always
(05:05):
gonna work, but at least he have at least you
have a chance to defend yourself. This poor woman and
her daughter, they didn't have any chance at all as
far as I know, Doujie, are you ready for the shizzy?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Yeah, here we go kidishzzy On rollers Morning Glory main
Senate candidate Graham Platner will wait until Monday, the deadline
to withdraw to officially exit the race after suspending his
campaign amid a sexual assault allegation that he's denying.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
So did you see now? Well what ye like?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
So he's like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna suspend
my campaign. But he hasn't actually done it right, and
now people are worried he won't that he just he just.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I think he will, Willie. I think he's a koke.
He might, he may not. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
What's with this old Patrick Dempsey.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Patrick Dempsey is an act.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Yeah, what about McDreamy or mc steamy from Bray's anatomy.
I keep seeing him say I'm not gonna take his place.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
People want him. I have no idea what that's about.
Never heard of that.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, a lot of people, Jeffrey. I want you to
know that Ritman is in Wayne County. Okay, you're wrong.
I saw it was one county off off. Close enough,
go on, Ducie.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I recorded police interview played yesterday during Tyler Robinson's preliminary
hearing featured former roommate Lance Twiggs describing Robinson's alleged confession
after the twenty twenty five fatal shooting of conservative activists
Charlie Kirk. Twiggs, who testified under an immunity agreement, told
investigators Robinson return home the day after the shooting and said, quote,
(06:45):
he wishes he hadn't done it. Twiggs also said Robinson
planned to surrender to authorities and admitted responsibility through conversations,
text messages, and a handwritten note. Defense attorneys challenged the
evidence and argued some forensic findings remain inconclusive. Prosecutors are
seeking the death penalty if Robinson is convicted.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It's a pretty clear case here. I mean this this guy.
You've got the text messages, you have the written note.
Apparently they showed the written note on accident during this
court hearing. They're streaming this or putting it on TV
or whatever, and the judge had already ruled you're not
allowed to put any of these text messages or the
letter up there for some reason, I don't know why,
(07:28):
and they did it anyway, So well, is that going
to lead to a some sort of mistrial now?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Well, already the prosecutors they are seeking the death penalty,
as we just said, but a judge is expected to
decide after additional proceedings whether enough evidence exists for the
case to proceed to trial.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So we'll see what happens with you. I think we've
got plenty of evidence. Let's just get right to the
right to the trial.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
So buying a home just got a little tougher. Sales
of previously owned US homes slowed in the month of June,
even as prices climbed to a record high. Existing home
sales fell two point four percent from May to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of four point zero nine million units.
That's according to the National Association of Realtors, though that
(08:16):
was up two point eight percent from a year earlier.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
So the figure, oh, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Would you see that stat that came out that fifty
percent of everybody under thirty lives with their parents?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Still, I did not see that stat. I'm not this.
I want to dispute this stat. That's crazy. I almost
feel it's like.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
There's no motivation to leave the house, kind of like
kids don't want to drive anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Like, well, it's not just that you can't they can't
afford houses, or they just don't want to.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
They want to, They've prioritized spending money on other things,
avocado toast, I'm going, I'm going to Bali and I'm
going to be an influencer and all this kind of s.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Or the housing is so expensive that people can't afford it.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I saw rent for a two bedroom the other day.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
It said sixteen hundred dollars two bedroom, and I told
my daughter, I go, that's more than what I pay
for my mortgage, which is fifteen hundred dollars a month.
And I have a three bedroom house. So just that's
what she's looking at if she wants to move out.
These are the numbers that we have to keep in
mind of when you get a job.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Also, when I first moved out, I lived in adult yeah,
studio department. That I mean just because.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You guys are living in a different time, thinking that
anybody could afford to move out under thirty right now.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
You can't. You can't. I'm really expensive. You cannot do it.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Fifty fifty percent of people under thirty are living with
their parents and you're like, oh, they're spending money on
coffee or whatever.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
They are.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
They can't afford to live, They cannot afford. I'm not
saying there's anything wrong with it. They've just there's different priorities.
It's up twelve percent, that nine different. Okay, So look
at like vacations spending, look at discretionary spending and people
going overseas. Vacations, maloney, are vacations. If you look at
the number of people traveling is higher than ever, this
(10:13):
is what people do with their money.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Experiential stuff. I'm telling you their priorities have shifted. I'm
not saying there's anything wrong with it, but it's it's
a fact different time up, Charlie, that the number of
people traveling is higher than ever, and the number of
young people traveling higher than ever. I just saw a
CEO of of an.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Airline talking about it, and uh, it's it's just it's true.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
They've decided that I'm going to what's more important for
me is to go to Bali for two weeks or whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I'm thing that came up with me.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You're getting fooled by like people that are rich influencers
that are going about that a normal person that's.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Not going to People see that and then they want
to go and they go. But that's what they're prioritizing
instead of what people used to prioritize as a more
traditional what people consider traditional.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I'm going to save money, I'm going to get a house.
I'm going to do this. Now they want to do
the more experiential things.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
It's just true influencers to influencer. I mean, buying a
house later in life is what's going to happen because
it is more expensive. But to rent, even renting is expensive.
But then you also have kids who are like, I
don't want to work. That's a lot of work to
go to work every day. That's I don't want to
(11:38):
do that. So then how do you motivate them to say,
go get a job and get an apartment that might
not be the best apartment and work your way up.
That's what I had to do. Do you think those
times are different times? Yes, it was still expensive. I
saw it was expensive then, and you made money.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I have no money, like everything was everything. You're like,
oh my god, it's so cheap.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's it's way more expensive now to get a house,
to get an apartment. You guys are completely living in
a different time thinking that, oh, I did it.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I did it.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
The kids struggled, yes, and they can struggle now and
you can't.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You can struggle your ass off and you still can't
afford an apartment.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I've had a lot of your daughter.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
People your daughter's age are gonna have a very hard
time getting a place to live. Whether they work hard
or not, it's going to be extremely difficult. Fifty percent
of people under thirty live with their parents. That's a
crazy number, and it's gonna get worse. And ninety five
percent of them order on Uber. Eh, but they're very poor.
But okay, on I see.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
The bottom line here is the dollars lost a y
ton of its buying power compared to the way it
was fifty years ago.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
On this speaking of money and homes, This is what
I think. I think Rover bought a home in Long Island.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Not buy a home. It has a dark past. Okay,
it's off.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
The market, so I think you're the buyer. It's an
East Meadow, Long Island. This house is where notorious serial
killer Joel Rifkin slaughtered several of his victims. That house
is under contract. That looks so creepy, doesn't it. There's
a picture of it. I know I've heard his name.
I don't know exactly who that dude is.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Joel Rifkin.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah, the name sounds familiar, but so he killed a
bunch of peoples.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
You don't remember. I don't remember that. I don't know
him either. He grew up.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Rifkin grew up in this nineteen fifty one built, two
story suburban home, transforming it into a house of horrors
between eighty nine and ninety three when he murdered multiple
female sex workers under its roof. He murdered some of
his victims in the home spasement and in one of
the bedrooms. He told authorities he also stashed a corpse
in the garage at Rifkin, who was sixty seven years old,
(14:00):
was sentenced to two hundred and three years in prison.
He was arrested in nineteen ninety three when police saw
his pickup truck didn't have a license plate. He failed
to pull over and led cops to a twenty minute chase,
which ended when he lost control of the vehicle and crash.
Cops found his final victim's body in his truck.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Cheeers What year was this that he was caught?
Speaker 5 (14:22):
I just gave you all the dates, nineteen eighty nine,
nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
He splattered all of them.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
In nineteen three, ninety three is when he caught him.
So they said that it's a sixteen hundred square foot
house and well maintained home. They say it's beautifully maintained,
seven thousand square foot corner lot.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I would not want to buy a house where a
bunch of people a bit killed.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I am fascinated by stuff like that, but I wouldn't
want to live in a house where, oh no, a
bunch of people were murdered in the basement or whatever,
like the what's the guy, the Gilgo Beach guy.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
I want to want to? I want to.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I mean, i'd like maybe see the house that's gross,
want to live there?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Don't want to hold it one hundred and.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Twenty five thousand dollars. It was listed in April, it
sat frozen on the market, and then the price was
dropped to seven ninety nine in May, and then it
went to seven hundred and eighty thousand.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Well, kids, you have to do you want to you
want to move out of your parents' home, You have
to find us here real killer's house? Are that at
the Amityville Horror House.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
The World Cup quarterfinals conclude this weekend. The semifinals start
on Tuesday. So today we have Spain versus Belgium three
pm Eastern Rover. Tomorrow you have Norway versus England five
pm Eastern and then you also have Argentina versus Switzerland
nine pm Eastern tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
So any of those games look good to you? Oh
let's see here? Yeah, what's the one that's today? I'm
sorry Spain and Belgium. Spain's going to win that, I
think you do?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
I think are you going to put that on your
DraftKings Bet?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I'll put that on my DraftKings bed. Tomorrow I think
is going to be a good game. England versus Norway.
Norway has never really made it as far in the
World Cup. England has kind of been scraping by. They've
had some near misses. Norway I think might have a
(16:16):
good shot of winning. Yeah, as surprising as that may sound,
Well that could be a good game.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
This might factor into it.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Norway's World Cup preparations took an unexpected turn after the
squad abandoned its Fort Lauderdale hotel just one night into
its stay, citing excessive construction noise ahead of Saturday's quarterfinal
game against England. According to reports, players unanimously voted to
re locate with FIFA's assistance after ongoing building worked disrupted
(16:45):
the team's rest. So they're also saying that there are
a lot of concerns about the location. It's impossible to
rest properly with that level of noise, and they had
to move.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Well, what about England, aren't you gonna Aren't they staying
there because they're playing too, So are they having any
doesn't say, I'm sure they're not at the same hotel, but.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Yeah, so we'll see what happens there. You go, Oh
and real quick.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Despite the US men's national team's elimination from the World Cup,
the match became the most watched soccer telecast in US history, averaging.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Thirty three million viewers. Wow, that's huge.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
There, that's the shizzy on Rovers Morning Glory.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Do people describe you as delusional, paranoid, dim witted, or
just us straight up? Well, you'll fit in right here
call or textas show now one.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Eight six six yo Rover.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
That's eight six six ninety six seven six eight.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Three seven Nate and Bingham to New York here on
Rollvery's Warning Glory. Good morning, Nate.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Hey, guys, I want to go back to that stat
that Charlie threw out fifty percent.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Of people under thirty living with their parents. Of people
under thirty be fifteen or under, all right, I may
have court that wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
It's eighteen to twenty nine, eighteen to twenty nine year olds, okay,
So fifteen fifteen, eighteen, twenty twenty nine year olds live.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Fifty percent of adults then, okay, that makes more.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Adults under because almost one hundred percent of people under
the age of eighteen probably live at home with their parents,
I would assume, so if if you were including them,
that would certainly skew that number obviously.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Nate, Thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I duji, I just saw.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Let me see here, where is it? Someone wanted to know.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Corey says, I sent the email about the flower baskets
I ordered, versus what I received.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
These are the you would ordered some.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Flowers, fake flowers, breake flowers you saw on the internet,
And this guy ordered some fake flowers on the internet
as well. He showed us a picture of what he
the ad that he had ordered off of. I mean,
these things are they look? They look pretty good, right?
These fake flowers huge.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
UV resistant, they won't fade in the sun.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Nice. They look real beautiful hanging flowers.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So he says, I sent the email about the flower
baskets I ordered versus what I received? Dou She said,
there was a box of them on the floor in
the picture, so I probably need to put them together. Nope,
what I was holding was one of the four I
was sent in a package smaller than a shoe box.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Oh, Cory, no basket. Nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
The ad shows a woman opening a big box and
pulling out something that is ready to hang. I still
see the on my home screen home screen randomly, and
all I can do is laugh. So he thought he
was getting a big, giant flower thing, and instead he
got that which is really pathetic for.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
How much money? Well, he paid five good? So did
he pay?
Speaker 8 (20:17):
You would think those flowers, even though they're fake, one
hundred dollars or fifty dollars would be kind of a
substantial amount of money for that beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
So did he pay ten bucks? And assume he's getting
this giant thing? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
I hope he's returning it or complaining and calling them
and saying, look, this is false semitizing.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Sure, right of course. Yeah, but you can't get up
once you buy it. You can't get a there's no
way you can actually get a hold of those people.
They're all in China and they don't care. Now, you
bought some flowers on hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
I spent hundred dollars for a bunch of flowers, and
you said that you were going to bring them in today.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Yeah? Did you do that? Yeah? Where are they? I
got them? You have them? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Where in a bag? I bet I haven't. Yeah, I
haven't unboxed yet. You haven't unboxed yet. Yeah, I can
unbox it coming up next if you want.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Do you think that, uh, judging by the box that
you got or you saying a bag.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
What do you mean a bag?
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Well find out I'll present it to you.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Okay, Uh, we'll be right back on rover this morning Glory,
Hang on, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Rovers morning Glory, all right.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
We want to do you have the ad.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
That you purchased your flowers, Bougie, some fake flowers, just
like this guy who we mailed into the show the
other day. He bought some fake flowers. What he got,
he said, is not what appeared in the ad.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
I don't read. I don't remember where.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I think I did write it down because I had
to contact them.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Don't remember what they're called.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
There's someone who says, in nineteen eighty five, average income
was twenty three thousand dollars, average house eighty three thousand dollars.
Twenty twenty five, average income eighty three thousand dollars, up
two hundred fifty percent, house four hundred and sixteen thousand
dollars up four hundred percent. There's an important thing you're
not taking into consideration right now, and we consider a
(22:30):
lot of people would say mortgage.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Rates are high right now, right not compared.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
To nineteen eighty five, there were people paying twenty percent
on their mortgage interest rates in the eighties twenty percent,
so that difference in price is probably more than made
up in the massive decrease in mortgage interest rates, which
are now probably I don't know what they are right
(22:56):
about now, six six percent or something, which is a
little bit hi.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I mean I I.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Remember people were getting mortgage rates at like three percent,
which is ridiculously low. So there's a there's a you
have to take that into consideration.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Of course. Laurie says that where did her I.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Have these fake flowers all over my yard. They are great.
He did not read the ad correctly and the purchase
page you have to buy more than one bunch. Yeah,
go on Amazon, She says, where did you get yours from?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Do?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
I did not get mine on Amazon. I got mine
from an ad that I was served on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I was a sucker for it. Do you have that
ad or I don't. You can't find it? Okay, I
might be able to google it, but I did.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
She is right, I did buy, obviously more than more
than one.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Okay, how many bundles did you buy? I can grab it.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Okay, I have a whole thing here because I was
going to put them in my front yard.

dollars on fake flowers. You're gonna put them in the
front yard. Thank you for us, Thank you for choosing us.

I have these big trees in the back and I
put I create like a photo board like with flowers
and stuff, and all the kids take pictures there. So
I buy a lot of flake, fake flowers, like, Oh,
that'd be really cool to put them out front, But
I needed real, like good ones, not ones I buy
at Michael's. That's why when I subserved this and I'm like, oh,
(25:23):
this would be pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Oh the Michaels once, they're going to be better, I think.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
So.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Yeah, well those aren't like sun resistant.

Just from the one time I bought that fake ivy on.

On Instagram or whatever. Yeah, Oh they're bunches. Oh those
are tiny, they are tiny. So how many of those?

I's bought two hanging baskets, say to sale at this
plant store by me seventeen.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Bucks, real real flower. Yeah, we have the water.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Those take care of those, right. It is true outside
there was the sun. I think this would be fair everyone.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I don't know if all these different colors, if I
should have done that, if I should have just.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Kept it talking with one color.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Perhaps, but I'm gonna I'll try to do And that
seems like.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
A lot of money. One hundred dollars for these fake
flowers of them, I mean there's a ton of So
you think you got a good deal with your fake flowers.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
I mean, if there's sun resistant and I can make
my whole landscaping is expensive to make your house look pretty.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah, did you come with the basket to put.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
It in it?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
No?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
I didn't buy them. I didn't buy a basket display.
I bought stuff that you put into the ground.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
In the ground, yeah, go away.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
No, No, they won't let me styrofoam or.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Something not styrofoam. It's like a plastic and you stick
that right in the ground. Oh, that's not gonna work.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
It's one day of wind and all your flowers are
going to be your neighbors.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Now you're like, that is not going to work. Usually
I'm a stick it your ass. You you're pretty This
is not that's no. You can't just stick these in
the town. Fluff that up make it look better.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
So is there any way to like kind of that, don't.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Hit it on anything, just make it look poofy. So
this is what you're going to stick in the ground.
It's not bad.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I don't I don't think that you're playing of it
not blowing away. That's going to be a big problem.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
I don't think they're going to bend over at least.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, they're going to be looking like this and like
like that, like they're just going to be all over.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
She has to put them, bundle them together somehow. Man.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
They just think, Wow, that's the other thing I forgot
when you open I got my ivy, I opened it
like chemicals. I could imagine the person working in there
surrounded by millions of these things.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Two cents an hour.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Eight year old Chinese can't put these things together right,
little lungs.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
There's how many bundles do you have? How many bouquets?
I don't know a lot anyway, So I did all right, dude,
you didn't do bad.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
No, I feel that one guy, because that listener was right.
You got to buy multiple containers or bags groups.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Charlie, I have a question for you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Today is Friday, July tenth. On Fridays, we do the
Friday Leftovers on RMG Plus, So if you're an RMG
plus subscriber, we all stick around. We play a bunch
of videos, get the stuff we didn't get to during
the week, and you can watch or listen live if
you're a Plus subscriber, which you can sign up for
at roverradio dot com. And right after the fourth of July.
(28:45):
Every year, we seem to have a huge influx naturally
of fireworks disaster videos. Do you have a wide selection
of twenty twenty six, two hundred and fiftieth Anniversary of
the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I still trickly him, but I've been compiling all leak
for sure, because.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I assumed that we would have a lot. Now here's
a guy. Let me tell you this story. I don't
have video of this. There probably is video, or maybe
we will have it in the Friday leftovers.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Maybe this video is floating around.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
But a mother named Maria Escalante, She's a mother of twins,
teenage boys. She is very upset. They live in southern California.
She is very upset that her son was able not
to go into a store, but just on the street
(29:41):
he was able to pick up some illegal fireworks.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
And disaster ensued.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
After he's picks up these illegal fireworks right off the
street there in southern California, and I'll tell you what
happened to. Essentially, he blew his hands right off. And
the mother is just now outraged that her son lost
all these fingers with his illegal fireworks which he obtained
(30:12):
there in southern California. I picked these up. Let's see
here where. It doesn't say where, but somewhere on the
streets of Anaheim.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
I guess he just picks it up and it blows off.
Like so she's mad at that, Like he what? I'm confused?
Speaker 5 (30:35):
He picks up her kid finds a firework, picks it
up and his hands are blown off.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I only mad too, if I were the moment I.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Say he picks it up, I mean he he didn't
just pick it up off the street and it blew
his hand off. He bought illegal fireworks, do she?
Speaker 4 (30:52):
So she's mad.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
That he bought them, or that he picked it up.
You said picked up fireworks, And that's why she's on
the crusade.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
She's on a crusade because he bought picked up, bought,
meaning he bought illegal fireworks. He then goes to light
these fireworks off. So he lit them, he just to
pick him up and blow his hands off. It's really
hard to do a radio show to explain everything. It's
like you have to explain stuff to a three year
old stop with the slang of what.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
He exchanged.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Yeah, no one's ever picked up anything from the store.
Better they picked up off the floor. You have a
news story about this mom and everything.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Here she is. She's very upset at what happened with
her son. It is kind of it's disturbing, like they
I don't know what they did, Like he blew his
hands off.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I'll show you. I'm sure they'll show you here in
the news. But I'm looking at a picture of him.
They stuck his hands in like lego blocks. Now, like
his whole arms are in these gigantic foam lego blocks,
Swiss cheese, swellcase, Swiss cheek, whatever they are. They're weird,
Like I've never seen it, and I don't know why
they did that.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
But here, listen. He's not doing good.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
He's gonna be in the hospital for about two months.
Speaker 9 (32:07):
He has a literally butcher one of Maria Escalante's twin sons,
lost several fingers. His right hand is mutilated, she says,
after a teenager he was with on the fourth of
July led an illegal firework they'd found on a street
in Anaheim. It exploded, she says, in their hands.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Well, they're gonna do their best to reconstruct his hands,
but they can't guarantee nothing.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
He's going to surgery tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
They're gonna see if he has proper circulation going into
the last fingers he has to the few left fingers
he has left in his hand, and if it's this
blessed not circulating properly, they're going to accuctate his fingers.
Speaker 9 (32:43):
Escalante is keeping what's left of one firework that she
found on South Mountain View Avenue that she says she's
taking to her lawyer. It's where her sixteen year old
boy was celebrating. The other teen was also badly injured
with burns and shrapnel injuries. Escalante is and let police investigate.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Wait a second, what are they gonna Is she going
to take this blown off firework?
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yes to her lawyer and what yes?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Yeah, and the guy's gonna go Yeah, your son knew
what he was doing. He was blowing off fireworks. He
went fireworks like, but is it illegal? It's illegal. Yeah,
the kids should have known it was illegal.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
I found out through the other child had that was
involved with my son. He also had his hands exploding
this serracus to his face. His mother told me that
every year they sell illegal fireworks here. So I don't
know that police department knows about this or not, but
they need to try investigating because this needs to stop.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
You see the tree behind the tree, this this sight.
Speaker 9 (33:41):
Armando Romero describes the scene where people were throwing mortars
in the street, including the two teenage boys playing with
illegal fireworks that eventually exploded in their hands.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
The fireworks blooded in the hand. He lose this one
here and to free.
Speaker 9 (33:58):
The Escalantes, as her injured son's twin called her, screaming.
He was with his brother on the fourth of July.
He is traumatized. She wants justice in Anaheim.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
What's the justice that you're seeking?
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Was, Yeah, but your son was lighting off these fireworks.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
He'd be mad at a gun store if they sold gun.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yes, illegal gun.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
There are laws against it. Yeah, but we don't know
where he got these fireworks from. No, he did not
buy these from a store. He did not buy these
from a store.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
I said.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
He picked them up on the street. He bought these
from like just some out of a trunk of a car.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Or whatever, not a store.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
It's illegal there in California probably to sell almost any
kind of fireworks. They're so so dry, and all those wildfires,
they don't want to set those off. So the kid
is lighting off these mortars and it blows his hand off. Like,
I don't know what justice the mother thinks she's going
to get for.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
That shouldn't be fireworks in the state of California.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
There are who saw them. That's the justice. I don't
I don't know. But her kid bought them and then
let them off. He's the one that was responsible for this.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
But if they weren't for sale, he wouldn't have been curious.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Don't have him for sale. Nobody could take any responsibility
for their actions. The kid is dumb. Kids are dumb,
really really say that all the time. They are dumb.
But like, what is she going to do?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
She's gonna take that firework and be like, who are
you gonna sell.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
The person that did it? It was who went off
and blow off his hand. It's the person that sold it.
They'll find him.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
It's just some dude out of a trunk of his
car or something. How are they going to find that guy.
I don't blame that guy. You don't blame that guy. No,
I blame the kids that These are not five year olds.
This kid's like sixteen.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Would you blame a guy if he sold a kid
like liqu her out of the backless car and they
did something.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
I have to think about that. If they sold liquor
out of the back of a car. Uh yeah, I
guess probably more of that than I would. The fireworks,
like the kids, the kids were the kids bought the
fire This kid bought these fireworks. If he would have
let them off in a normal manner, he wouldn't have
blown his hands off. But he's holding these and they're
(36:23):
throwing them at each other or whatever, and that's he
held onto it too long. It blew his hand off.
What are these little tubes that like these these Swiss
cheese lego block things made out of foam?
Speaker 4 (36:35):
What are those for? Exactly?
Speaker 5 (36:36):
How did to keep your arms elevated and not have
your roots touching anything?
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Because the pain is so much? What a terrible thing?
Oh awful? I mean, I do feel bad for this kid. Obviously,
kids are stupid.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yeah, you always think, oh, it won't happen to me,
Then it happens to you. But like, wouldn't your mother?
My mother was always like if it was the fourth
of July, my mother on the third of July, or
actually probably like July first, or whenever she would.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Start pounding it into my head.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
And with all these stories of oh, a kid in
California blew his hands off, and she would make me
so nervous about doing anything. I still did a lot
of bad stuff, but it was it was always in
my mind like it could happen to me. I have
to be very careful because my mother would warn me.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
About all these sorts of things. Don't drink and drive.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
There's a kid that just got you know, blah blah blah,
like always constantly put that fear into my head. I did, yeah,
but I tried to do it in a responsible way
though they can't. So, yeah, kids are still dumb, even
if you tell them, they're still dumb. Spacely says, I
(37:52):
lived in southern California for most of my life. It
wasn't hard to get illegal fireworks because everyone would just
go to Vegas and buy them. He says, no one
will be held responsible for selling the kid illegal fireworks.
My daughter in law's little sister died of an overdose
a few years ago. The cops knew who sold her
the drugs, and they were not held responsible. Kathy, it's
(38:13):
because your daughter in law's little sister wasn't a celebrity
like that dude.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Offer friends Matthew Perry.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Then they go, oh, we're gonna arrest this guy and
this person and that person in that person regular person
at her regular person.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
They don't bother with that. That sucks.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Now there is another fireworks story. I have a hard
time believing this other fireworks story. This just seems adougi
this other story. You would be right when the guy
claims he picked up a firework and it blew his
hands off, because that is what a man in northern
California is claiming. Jason Turner and his girlfriend allegedly were
(38:54):
walking along the beach and they are such goods citizens,
good samaritans that they were picking up remnant fireworks from
the beach. You know, people going on to the beach.
They're lighting off fireworks illegally there in California on the
fourth of July. And then they leave all of the
burnt out cardboard things down there. And he he is
(39:20):
such a good samaritan that he was picking up all.
You know, he's not a volunteer, he's not a paid
person or anything like that. He's just going along picking
up firework remains off the beach.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Him and his girlfriend. He says he picked up a
bomb like device on the beach that then went off,
which resulted in the loss of his hand. Why now,
I find this story a little bit hard to believe.
They've started to gofund me for this guy.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
They've raised over ninety million, or not ninety million, over
ninety thousand dollars already. I'm not eyeing this story one bit,
not one How would this guy on July fifth be
picking up remnants of a firework and that firework just
(40:12):
randomly explodes in his hand.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
Well, you didn't light it.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
No, they found something and they tried to light it,
or they were lighting their own stuff. Police responded to
the area and found significant injury to his hand. He
was found to a He was taken to a nearby hospital.
The sheriff there told NBC News that investigators haven't been
able to determine exactly what exploded because, quote, we did
(40:37):
not find any debris or remnants of the device. So
your hand gets blown off by some sort of firework device,
you know exactly where your hand got blown off, because
you're standing there on the beach. There's going to be
remnants of that device on the beach along with your fingers.
(40:58):
So this is a scam. I don't know what they
were up through. I think they probably the kid or
the guy blew off his own hand lighting off fireworks.
And then they can't go around saying that, right, oh,
I was lighting off these illegal fireworks. They have to
concoct this story of ah, you know what, we were
just cleaning up the beach. We were being good Samaritans,
and I reached on I picked something up, and sure,
(41:20):
somebody tried to light this fourteen hours ago and then
it blew off in my hand.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Did not happen? It might happen.
Speaker 5 (41:27):
There might have been a bag, There might have been
other remnants. You don't know that it didn't happen. Happen?
How do shells explode years later?
Speaker 4 (41:37):
Huh? Don't they have those World War two things and stuff? Yes,
those are different.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
That's like a mine or a bomb or something like that,
not a firework a firework? How would a firework explode
if you don't light it?
Speaker 4 (41:52):
Are there other guys that you don't need to light?
Not that I'm aware of, But what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (42:00):
You pull like you pull a string, and I don't
know party poppers worked the way at you but that's
not gonna blow off your head. I agree, So I
I just I'm not buying this story personally. I think
they have come up with this story and they're using
this to as a gofund me. But I think they're
covering for something that he was doing and he blew
(42:22):
off his own hand. Now there's another story I definitely
do not buy. I'm real curious to hear what you
think about this. Let me take a quick break. There's
a woman who went to Italy and.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
She either.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Either has the worst luck possible or she's a little
bit of an over sensitive kook, one.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
Or the other.
Speaker 5 (42:44):
Why are you so cynical you don't believe anything anymore?
Speaker 4 (42:47):
What's wrong with you? Because I just find her.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
I'll just tell you the headline when we come back,
and you tell me whether you believe, whether it's possible
that this actually happened, or we'll be right back. We
also have these hizzy coming up in just a moment.
We'll be back on Rover's Morning Glory.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
Hang on,
Rover is emotionally constipated.
Speaker 2 (00:04):

Rover's Morning Glory.
Speaker 3 (00:10):

Speaker 5 (00:34):
You made a purchase in Long Oh yeah, and I'll

Okay, we'll get to that in just a moment. Mark,

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Good morning, Mark. How's it going, guys? Hey man, what's happening?
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
If Charlie says his pill works and Jeffery says his doesn't,
bring them in and swap them and let's get to
the bottom of this. Oh yay, would you share medication
which Charlie, You guys could swap meds?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
What do you think? I know?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Mine different, Mine's different, Jeffrey, maybe, and it would it
might be beneficial to try it. Mine's a combination of
viagra and Cielis combined. It's like a fifty to fifty thing.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I don't know, all right, worth a shot.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Did you experience any side effects or anything, Jeffrey, Not.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
That I know I'm experiencing any any real side effects.
Vision change, no vision change, none of that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I don't think he did this.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I'm really I'm leaning against the idea that he that
he took this viagra. I just for whatever reason, I
just for whatever reason. Yeaheah, I'm just I'm just not
buying it. Somebody wants what it is. Hold on, let
me see here. I'm I missed. I was going to
bring up some some of a bitch I lost. I
(01:51):
lost a message here I was going to read, but.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Uh, I don't know. I lost whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
There was one I was going to tell you about
somebody at a very good point, but I completely lost it,
and I'm sorry I forgot. Felicia sent an email and
she talks about the We talked about the cop that
was killed in Ritman, which is I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Somebody said it's like twenty minutes from my house. I'll
take your word. Yeah, it's losing Madinah County. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And a woman writes in she says the cop was
killed after he responded to a report of some sort
of break in or domestic disturbance or something.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
And he shows up.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
The guy that's in the house starts shooting at the cops,
kills one Andrew's like five others or something, and then
kills himself. Turns out that he murdered his ex girlfriend
and her daughter. Anyways, this person writes in, Christy McWilliams
was my best friend. She and her daughter were murdered
(02:59):
by her ex boyfriend, Brandon. Her and Brandon were together
for approximately six years, but then he stalked and harassed
her for the last two years because she would not
let him come back to live at the home. He
was a drunk who drank handles of liquor every day.
Christy tried to help him by getting him into programs,
but he would always leave them within a couple of days.
(03:22):
His mother blamed Christy for Brandon's issues. Christy did all
she could to help him. He could not help himself,
and his mother enabled him. Christy and McKinley sometimes that
the girls the daughter were murdered by this man in
their own home that he broke into that evening. I
heard you talk about it yesterday. I just wanted to
make sure you knew what really happened. I don't want
(03:44):
to make this email too longe and go into every detail.
But this was Brandon going to Christie's home to murder
her and he successfully did that.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
That's crazy, isn't it. That's so sad. I mean, Jesus
christ it's you Know. What it tells me is men, women, whoever,
you need to have a firearm in your home, because
(04:15):
how do you protect yourself if you're this woman here
who ends up murdered and her young daughter murdered. I
think it's beyond that.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
No, if somebody's breaking into your home, some crazy ex boyfriend,
you blast him. You blast his ass. You have to
be able to take care of yourself. Yes, the cops
showed up too late. Though he killed him. How did
he kill I don't know how I killed him. If
I must have shot him, I guess.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Oh. The shootout I think last for a while.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Man, But you know, anybody, and I even if your
anti gun, I think you should have just in your home.
You don't have to carry him around all the time.
But in your own home you should have something in
there so that if an intruder comes in, you can
defend yoursel self. Does not guarantee, doesn't mean it's always
(05:05):
gonna work, but at least he have at least you
have a chance to defend yourself. This poor woman and
her daughter, they didn't have any chance at all as
far as I know, Doujie, are you ready for the shizzy?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Yeah, here we go kidishzzy On rollers Morning Glory main
Senate candidate Graham Platner will wait until Monday, the deadline
to withdraw to officially exit the race after suspending his
campaign amid a sexual assault allegation that he's denying.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
So did you see now? Well what ye like?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
So he's like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna suspend
my campaign. But he hasn't actually done it right, and
now people are worried he won't that he just he just.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I think he will, Willie. I think he's a koke.
He might, he may not. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
What's with this old Patrick Dempsey.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Patrick Dempsey is an act.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Yeah, what about McDreamy or mc steamy from Bray's anatomy.
I keep seeing him say I'm not gonna take his place.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
People want him. I have no idea what that's about.
Never heard of that.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, a lot of people, Jeffrey. I want you to
know that Ritman is in Wayne County. Okay, you're wrong.
I saw it was one county off off. Close enough,
go on, Ducie.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I recorded police interview played yesterday during Tyler Robinson's preliminary
hearing featured former roommate Lance Twiggs describing Robinson's alleged confession
after the twenty twenty five fatal shooting of conservative activists
Charlie Kirk. Twiggs, who testified under an immunity agreement, told
investigators Robinson return home the day after the shooting and said, quote,
(06:45):
he wishes he hadn't done it. Twiggs also said Robinson
planned to surrender to authorities and admitted responsibility through conversations,
text messages, and a handwritten note. Defense attorneys challenged the
evidence and argued some forensic findings remain inconclusive. Prosecutors are
seeking the death penalty if Robinson is convicted.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It's a pretty clear case here. I mean this this guy.
You've got the text messages, you have the written note.
Apparently they showed the written note on accident during this
court hearing. They're streaming this or putting it on TV
or whatever, and the judge had already ruled you're not
allowed to put any of these text messages or the
letter up there for some reason, I don't know why,
(07:28):
and they did it anyway, So well, is that going
to lead to a some sort of mistrial now?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Well, already the prosecutors they are seeking the death penalty,
as we just said, but a judge is expected to
decide after additional proceedings whether enough evidence exists for the
case to proceed to trial.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So we'll see what happens with you. I think we've
got plenty of evidence. Let's just get right to the
right to the trial.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
So buying a home just got a little tougher. Sales
of previously owned US homes slowed in the month of June,
even as prices climbed to a record high. Existing home
sales fell two point four percent from May to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of four point zero nine million units.
That's according to the National Association of Realtors, though that
(08:16):
was up two point eight percent from a year earlier.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
So the figure, oh, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Would you see that stat that came out that fifty
percent of everybody under thirty lives with their parents?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Still, I did not see that stat. I'm not this.
I want to dispute this stat. That's crazy. I almost
feel it's like.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
There's no motivation to leave the house, kind of like
kids don't want to drive anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Like, well, it's not just that you can't they can't
afford houses, or they just don't want to.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
They want to, They've prioritized spending money on other things,
avocado toast, I'm going, I'm going to Bali and I'm
going to be an influencer and all this kind of s.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Or the housing is so expensive that people can't afford it.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I saw rent for a two bedroom the other day.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
It said sixteen hundred dollars two bedroom, and I told
my daughter, I go, that's more than what I pay
for my mortgage, which is fifteen hundred dollars a month.
And I have a three bedroom house. So just that's
what she's looking at if she wants to move out.
These are the numbers that we have to keep in
mind of when you get a job.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Also, when I first moved out, I lived in adult yeah,
studio department. That I mean just because.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You guys are living in a different time, thinking that
anybody could afford to move out under thirty right now.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
You can't. You can't. I'm really expensive. You cannot do it.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Fifty fifty percent of people under thirty are living with
their parents and you're like, oh, they're spending money on
coffee or whatever.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
They are.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
They can't afford to live, They cannot afford. I'm not
saying there's anything wrong with it. They've just there's different priorities.
It's up twelve percent, that nine different. Okay, So look
at like vacations spending, look at discretionary spending and people
going overseas. Vacations, maloney, are vacations. If you look at
the number of people traveling is higher than ever, this
(10:13):
is what people do with their money.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Experiential stuff. I'm telling you their priorities have shifted. I'm
not saying there's anything wrong with it, but it's it's
a fact different time up, Charlie, that the number of
people traveling is higher than ever, and the number of
young people traveling higher than ever. I just saw a
CEO of of an.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Airline talking about it, and uh, it's it's just it's true.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
They've decided that I'm going to what's more important for
me is to go to Bali for two weeks or whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I'm thing that came up with me.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You're getting fooled by like people that are rich influencers
that are going about that a normal person that's.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Not going to People see that and then they want
to go and they go. But that's what they're prioritizing
instead of what people used to prioritize as a more
traditional what people consider traditional.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I'm going to save money, I'm going to get a house.
I'm going to do this. Now they want to do
the more experiential things.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
It's just true influencers to influencer. I mean, buying a
house later in life is what's going to happen because
it is more expensive. But to rent, even renting is expensive.
But then you also have kids who are like, I
don't want to work. That's a lot of work to
go to work every day. That's I don't want to
(11:38):
do that. So then how do you motivate them to say,
go get a job and get an apartment that might
not be the best apartment and work your way up.
That's what I had to do. Do you think those
times are different times? Yes, it was still expensive. I
saw it was expensive then, and you made money.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I have no money, like everything was everything. You're like,
oh my god, it's so cheap.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's it's way more expensive now to get a house,
to get an apartment. You guys are completely living in
a different time thinking that, oh, I did it.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I did it.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
The kids struggled, yes, and they can struggle now and
you can't.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You can struggle your ass off and you still can't
afford an apartment.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I've had a lot of your daughter.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
People your daughter's age are gonna have a very hard
time getting a place to live. Whether they work hard
or not, it's going to be extremely difficult. Fifty percent
of people under thirty live with their parents. That's a
crazy number, and it's gonna get worse. And ninety five
percent of them order on Uber. Eh, but they're very poor.
But okay, on I see.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
The bottom line here is the dollars lost a y
ton of its buying power compared to the way it
was fifty years ago.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
On this speaking of money and homes, This is what
I think. I think Rover bought a home in Long Island.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Not buy a home. It has a dark past. Okay,
it's off.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
The market, so I think you're the buyer. It's an
East Meadow, Long Island. This house is where notorious serial
killer Joel Rifkin slaughtered several of his victims. That house
is under contract. That looks so creepy, doesn't it. There's
a picture of it. I know I've heard his name.
I don't know exactly who that dude is.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Joel Rifkin.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah, the name sounds familiar, but so he killed a
bunch of peoples.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
You don't remember. I don't remember that. I don't know
him either. He grew up.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Rifkin grew up in this nineteen fifty one built, two
story suburban home, transforming it into a house of horrors
between eighty nine and ninety three when he murdered multiple
female sex workers under its roof. He murdered some of
his victims in the home spasement and in one of
the bedrooms. He told authorities he also stashed a corpse
in the garage at Rifkin, who was sixty seven years old,
(14:00):
was sentenced to two hundred and three years in prison.
He was arrested in nineteen ninety three when police saw
his pickup truck didn't have a license plate. He failed
to pull over and led cops to a twenty minute chase,
which ended when he lost control of the vehicle and crash.
Cops found his final victim's body in his truck.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Cheeers What year was this that he was caught?
Speaker 5 (14:22):
I just gave you all the dates, nineteen eighty nine,
nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
He splattered all of them.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
In nineteen three, ninety three is when he caught him.
So they said that it's a sixteen hundred square foot
house and well maintained home. They say it's beautifully maintained,
seven thousand square foot corner lot.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I would not want to buy a house where a
bunch of people a bit killed.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I am fascinated by stuff like that, but I wouldn't
want to live in a house where, oh no, a
bunch of people were murdered in the basement or whatever,
like the what's the guy, the Gilgo Beach guy.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
I want to want to? I want to.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I mean, i'd like maybe see the house that's gross,
want to live there?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Don't want to hold it one hundred and.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Twenty five thousand dollars. It was listed in April, it
sat frozen on the market, and then the price was
dropped to seven ninety nine in May, and then it
went to seven hundred and eighty thousand.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Well, kids, you have to do you want to you
want to move out of your parents' home, You have
to find us here real killer's house? Are that at
the Amityville Horror House.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
The World Cup quarterfinals conclude this weekend. The semifinals start
on Tuesday. So today we have Spain versus Belgium three
pm Eastern Rover. Tomorrow you have Norway versus England five
pm Eastern and then you also have Argentina versus Switzerland
nine pm Eastern tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
So any of those games look good to you? Oh
let's see here? Yeah, what's the one that's today? I'm
sorry Spain and Belgium. Spain's going to win that, I
think you do?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
I think are you going to put that on your
DraftKings Bet?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I'll put that on my DraftKings bed. Tomorrow I think
is going to be a good game. England versus Norway.
Norway has never really made it as far in the
World Cup. England has kind of been scraping by. They've
had some near misses. Norway I think might have a
(16:16):
good shot of winning. Yeah, as surprising as that may sound,
Well that could be a good game.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
This might factor into it.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Norway's World Cup preparations took an unexpected turn after the
squad abandoned its Fort Lauderdale hotel just one night into
its stay, citing excessive construction noise ahead of Saturday's quarterfinal
game against England. According to reports, players unanimously voted to
re locate with FIFA's assistance after ongoing building worked disrupted
(16:45):
the team's rest. So they're also saying that there are
a lot of concerns about the location. It's impossible to
rest properly with that level of noise, and they had
to move.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Well, what about England, aren't you gonna Aren't they staying
there because they're playing too, So are they having any
doesn't say, I'm sure they're not at the same hotel, but.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Yeah, so we'll see what happens there. You go, Oh
and real quick.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Despite the US men's national team's elimination from the World Cup,
the match became the most watched soccer telecast in US history, averaging.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Thirty three million viewers. Wow, that's huge.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
There, that's the shizzy on Rovers Morning Glory.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Do people describe you as delusional, paranoid, dim witted, or
just us straight up? Well, you'll fit in right here
call or textas show now one.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Eight six six yo Rover.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
That's eight six six ninety six seven six eight.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Three seven Nate and Bingham to New York here on
Rollvery's Warning Glory. Good morning, Nate.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Hey, guys, I want to go back to that stat
that Charlie threw out fifty percent.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Of people under thirty living with their parents. Of people
under thirty be fifteen or under, all right, I may
have court that wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
It's eighteen to twenty nine, eighteen to twenty nine year olds, okay,
So fifteen fifteen, eighteen, twenty twenty nine year olds live.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Fifty percent of adults then, okay, that makes more.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Adults under because almost one hundred percent of people under
the age of eighteen probably live at home with their parents,
I would assume, so if if you were including them,
that would certainly skew that number obviously.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Nate, Thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I duji, I just saw.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Let me see here, where is it? Someone wanted to know.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Corey says, I sent the email about the flower baskets
I ordered, versus what I received.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
These are the you would ordered some.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Flowers, fake flowers, breake flowers you saw on the internet,
And this guy ordered some fake flowers on the internet
as well. He showed us a picture of what he
the ad that he had ordered off of. I mean,
these things are they look? They look pretty good, right?
These fake flowers huge.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
UV resistant, they won't fade in the sun.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Nice. They look real beautiful hanging flowers.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So he says, I sent the email about the flower
baskets I ordered versus what I received? Dou She said,
there was a box of them on the floor in
the picture, so I probably need to put them together. Nope,
what I was holding was one of the four I
was sent in a package smaller than a shoe box.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Oh, Cory, no basket. Nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
The ad shows a woman opening a big box and
pulling out something that is ready to hang. I still
see the on my home screen home screen randomly, and
all I can do is laugh. So he thought he
was getting a big, giant flower thing, and instead he
got that which is really pathetic for.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
How much money? Well, he paid five good? So did
he pay?
Speaker 8 (20:17):
You would think those flowers, even though they're fake, one
hundred dollars or fifty dollars would be kind of a
substantial amount of money for that beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
So did he pay ten bucks? And assume he's getting
this giant thing? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
I hope he's returning it or complaining and calling them
and saying, look, this is false semitizing.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Sure, right of course. Yeah, but you can't get up
once you buy it. You can't get a there's no
way you can actually get a hold of those people.
They're all in China and they don't care. Now, you
bought some flowers on hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
I spent hundred dollars for a bunch of flowers, and
you said that you were going to bring them in today.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Yeah? Did you do that? Yeah? Where are they? I
got them? You have them? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Where in a bag? I bet I haven't. Yeah, I
haven't unboxed yet. You haven't unboxed yet. Yeah, I can
unbox it coming up next if you want.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Do you think that, uh, judging by the box that
you got or you saying a bag.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
What do you mean a bag?
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Well find out I'll present it to you.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Okay, Uh, we'll be right back on rover this morning Glory,
Hang on, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Rovers morning Glory, all right.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
We want to do you have the ad.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
That you purchased your flowers, Bougie, some fake flowers, just
like this guy who we mailed into the show the
other day. He bought some fake flowers. What he got,
he said, is not what appeared in the ad.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
I don't read. I don't remember where.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I think I did write it down because I had
to contact them.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Don't remember what they're called.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
There's someone who says, in nineteen eighty five, average income
was twenty three thousand dollars, average house eighty three thousand dollars.
Twenty twenty five, average income eighty three thousand dollars, up
two hundred fifty percent, house four hundred and sixteen thousand
dollars up four hundred percent. There's an important thing you're
not taking into consideration right now, and we consider a
(22:30):
lot of people would say mortgage.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Rates are high right now, right not compared.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
To nineteen eighty five, there were people paying twenty percent
on their mortgage interest rates in the eighties twenty percent,
so that difference in price is probably more than made
up in the massive decrease in mortgage interest rates, which
are now probably I don't know what they are right
(22:56):
about now, six six percent or something, which is a
little bit hi.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I mean I I.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Remember people were getting mortgage rates at like three percent,
which is ridiculously low. So there's a there's a you
have to take that into consideration.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Of course. Laurie says that where did her I.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Have these fake flowers all over my yard. They are great.
He did not read the ad correctly and the purchase
page you have to buy more than one bunch. Yeah,
go on Amazon, She says, where did you get yours from?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Do?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
I did not get mine on Amazon. I got mine
from an ad that I was served on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I was a sucker for it. Do you have that
ad or I don't. You can't find it? Okay, I
might be able to google it, but I did.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
She is right, I did buy, obviously more than more
than one.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Okay, how many bundles did you buy? I can grab it.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Okay, I have a whole thing here because I was
going to put them in my front yard.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Okay, all right, she's to pull her pants up, make
a big, big show of this.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
This is my Oh look he's poking out right.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
There is now that doesn't seem like a that doesn't
seem like a lot of flowers in this bag.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I bet it's gonna explode, yes, like one of those
mattresses vacuum sealed.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
It's gonna be flowers coming all Okay. She's kind of
like when ducks ducks.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Stuff's always lugged into porky Pig's tiny little trunk, and
when you open a trunk, the trunk explode exactly like that.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
I got it out first before me careful.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
How much did you spend on these flowers? One hundred
dollars on fake flowers. You're gonna put them in the
front yard. Thank you for us, Thank you for choosing us.
The card says, okay, let's see one.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Hundred dollars and fake flowers. So I host homecoming every year.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
I have all the kids over to my house, and
I have these big trees in the back and I
put I create like a photo board like with flowers
and stuff, and all the kids take pictures there. So
I buy a lot of flake, fake flowers, like, Oh,
that'd be really cool to put them out front, But
I needed real, like good ones, not ones I buy
at Michael's. That's why when I subserved this and I'm like, oh,
(25:23):
this would be pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Oh the Michaels once, they're going to be better, I think.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
So.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Yeah, well those aren't like sun resistant.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Just from the one time I bought that fake ivy on.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
On Instagram or whatever. Yeah, Oh they're bunches. Oh those
are tiny, they are tiny. So how many of those?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I think I needed to spend like five hundred, which
I can't afford.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I's bought two hanging baskets, say to sale at this
plant store by me seventeen.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Bucks, real real flower. Yeah, we have the water.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Those take care of those, right. It is true outside
there was the sun. I think this would be fair everyone.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I don't know if all these different colors, if I
should have done that, if I should have just.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Kept it talking with one color.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Perhaps, but I'm gonna I'll try to do And that
seems like.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
A lot of money. One hundred dollars for these fake
flowers of them, I mean there's a ton of So
you think you got a good deal with your fake flowers.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
I mean, if there's sun resistant and I can make
my whole landscaping is expensive to make your house look pretty.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah, did you come with the basket to put.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
It in it?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
No?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
I didn't buy them. I didn't buy a basket display.
I bought stuff that you put into the ground.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
In the ground, yeah, go away.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
No, No, they won't let me styrofoam or.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Something not styrofoam. It's like a plastic and you stick
that right in the ground. Oh, that's not gonna work.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
It's one day of wind and all your flowers are
going to be your neighbors.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Now you're like, that is not going to work. Usually
I'm a stick it your ass. You you're pretty This
is not that's no. You can't just stick these in
the town. Fluff that up make it look better.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
So is there any way to like kind of that, don't.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Hit it on anything, just make it look poofy. So
this is what you're going to stick in the ground.
It's not bad.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I don't I don't think that you're playing of it
not blowing away. That's going to be a big problem.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
I don't think they're going to bend over at least.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, they're going to be looking like this and like
like that, like they're just going to be all over.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
She has to put them, bundle them together somehow. Man.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
They just think, Wow, that's the other thing I forgot
when you open I got my ivy, I opened it
like chemicals. I could imagine the person working in there
surrounded by millions of these things.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Two cents an hour.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Eight year old Chinese can't put these things together right,
little lungs.

you didn't do bad.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
No, I feel that one guy, because that listener was right.
You got to buy multiple containers or bags groups.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Charlie, I have a question for you. Yeah.

(28:45):
Every year, we seem to have a huge influx naturally
of fireworks disaster videos. Do you have a wide selection
of twenty twenty six, two hundred and fiftieth Anniversary of
the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I still trickly him, but I've been compiling all leak
for sure, because.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I assumed that we would have a lot. Now here's
a guy. Let me tell you this story. I don't
have video of this. There probably is video, or maybe
we will have it in the Friday leftovers.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Maybe this video is floating around.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
But a mother named Maria Escalante, She's a mother of twins,
teenage boys. She is very upset. They live in southern California.
She is very upset that her son was able not
to go into a store, but just on the street
(29:41):
he was able to pick up some illegal fireworks.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
And disaster ensued.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
After he's picks up these illegal fireworks right off the
street there in southern California, and I'll tell you what
happened to. Essentially, he blew his hands right off. And
the mother is just now outraged that her son lost
all these fingers with his illegal fireworks which he obtained
(30:12):
there in southern California. I picked these up. Let's see
here where. It doesn't say where, but somewhere on the
streets of Anaheim.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
I guess he just picks it up and it blows off.
Like so she's mad at that, Like he what? I'm confused?
Speaker 5 (30:35):
He picks up her kid finds a firework, picks it
up and his hands are blown off.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I only mad too, if I were the moment I.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Say he picks it up, I mean he he didn't
just pick it up off the street and it blew
his hand off. He bought illegal fireworks, do she?
Speaker 4 (30:52):
So she's mad.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
That he bought them, or that he picked it up.
You said picked up fireworks, And that's why she's on
the crusade.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
She's on a crusade because he bought picked up, bought,
meaning he bought illegal fireworks. He then goes to light
these fireworks off. So he lit them, he just to
pick him up and blow his hands off. It's really
hard to do a radio show to explain everything. It's
like you have to explain stuff to a three year
old stop with the slang of what.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
He exchanged.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Yeah, no one's ever picked up anything from the store.
Better they picked up off the floor. You have a
news story about this mom and everything.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Here she is. She's very upset at what happened with
her son. It is kind of it's disturbing, like they
I don't know what they did, Like he blew his
hands off.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I'll show you. I'm sure they'll show you here in
the news. But I'm looking at a picture of him.
They stuck his hands in like lego blocks. Now, like
his whole arms are in these gigantic foam lego blocks,
Swiss cheese, swellcase, Swiss cheek, whatever they are. They're weird,
Like I've never seen it, and I don't know why
they did that.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
But here, listen. He's not doing good.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
He's gonna be in the hospital for about two months.
Speaker 9 (32:07):
He has a literally butcher one of Maria Escalante's twin sons,
lost several fingers. His right hand is mutilated, she says,
after a teenager he was with on the fourth of
July led an illegal firework they'd found on a street
in Anaheim. It exploded, she says, in their hands.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Well, they're gonna do their best to reconstruct his hands,
but they can't guarantee nothing.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
He's going to surgery tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
They're gonna see if he has proper circulation going into
the last fingers he has to the few left fingers
he has left in his hand, and if it's this
blessed not circulating properly, they're going to accuctate his fingers.
Speaker 9 (32:43):
Escalante is keeping what's left of one firework that she
found on South Mountain View Avenue that she says she's
taking to her lawyer. It's where her sixteen year old
boy was celebrating. The other teen was also badly injured
with burns and shrapnel injuries. Escalante is and let police investigate.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Wait a second, what are they gonna Is she going
to take this blown off firework?
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yes to her lawyer and what yes?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Yeah, and the guy's gonna go Yeah, your son knew
what he was doing. He was blowing off fireworks. He
went fireworks like, but is it illegal? It's illegal. Yeah,
the kids should have known it was illegal.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
I found out through the other child had that was
involved with my son. He also had his hands exploding
this serracus to his face. His mother told me that
every year they sell illegal fireworks here. So I don't
know that police department knows about this or not, but
they need to try investigating because this needs to stop.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
You see the tree behind the tree, this this sight.
Speaker 9 (33:41):
Armando Romero describes the scene where people were throwing mortars
in the street, including the two teenage boys playing with
illegal fireworks that eventually exploded in their hands.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
The fireworks blooded in the hand. He lose this one
here and to free.
Speaker 9 (33:58):
The Escalantes, as her injured son's twin called her, screaming.
He was with his brother on the fourth of July.
He is traumatized. She wants justice in Anaheim.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
What's the justice that you're seeking?
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Was, Yeah, but your son was lighting off these fireworks.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
He'd be mad at a gun store if they sold gun.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yes, illegal gun.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
There are laws against it. Yeah, but we don't know
where he got these fireworks from. No, he did not
buy these from a store. He did not buy these
from a store.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
I said.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
He picked them up on the street. He bought these
from like just some out of a trunk of a car.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Or whatever, not a store.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
It's illegal there in California probably to sell almost any
kind of fireworks. They're so so dry, and all those wildfires,
they don't want to set those off. So the kid
is lighting off these mortars and it blows his hand off. Like,
I don't know what justice the mother thinks she's going
to get for.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
That shouldn't be fireworks in the state of California.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
There are who saw them. That's the justice. I don't
I don't know. But her kid bought them and then
let them off. He's the one that was responsible for this.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
But if they weren't for sale, he wouldn't have been curious.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Don't have him for sale. Nobody could take any responsibility
for their actions. The kid is dumb. Kids are dumb,
really really say that all the time. They are dumb.
But like, what is she going to do?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
She's gonna take that firework and be like, who are
you gonna sell.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
The person that did it? It was who went off
and blow off his hand. It's the person that sold it.
They'll find him.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
It's just some dude out of a trunk of his
car or something. How are they going to find that guy.
I don't blame that guy. You don't blame that guy. No,
I blame the kids that These are not five year olds.
This kid's like sixteen.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Would you blame a guy if he sold a kid
like liqu her out of the backless car and they
did something.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
I have to think about that. If they sold liquor
out of the back of a car. Uh yeah, I
guess probably more of that than I would. The fireworks,
like the kids, the kids were the kids bought the
fire This kid bought these fireworks. If he would have
let them off in a normal manner, he wouldn't have
blown his hands off. But he's holding these and they're
(36:23):
throwing them at each other or whatever, and that's he
held onto it too long. It blew his hand off.
What are these little tubes that like these these Swiss
cheese lego block things made out of foam?
Speaker 4 (36:35):
What are those for? Exactly?
Speaker 5 (36:36):
How did to keep your arms elevated and not have
your roots touching anything?
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Because the pain is so much? What a terrible thing?
Oh awful? I mean, I do feel bad for this kid. Obviously,
kids are stupid.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yeah, you always think, oh, it won't happen to me,
Then it happens to you. But like, wouldn't your mother?
My mother was always like if it was the fourth
of July, my mother on the third of July, or
actually probably like July first, or whenever she would.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Start pounding it into my head.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
And with all these stories of oh, a kid in
California blew his hands off, and she would make me
so nervous about doing anything. I still did a lot
of bad stuff, but it was it was always in
my mind like it could happen to me. I have
to be very careful because my mother would warn me.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
About all these sorts of things. Don't drink and drive.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
There's a kid that just got you know, blah blah blah,
like always constantly put that fear into my head. I did, yeah,
but I tried to do it in a responsible way
though they can't. So, yeah, kids are still dumb, even
if you tell them, they're still dumb. Spacely says, I
(37:52):
lived in southern California for most of my life. It
wasn't hard to get illegal fireworks because everyone would just
go to Vegas and buy them. He says, no one
will be held responsible for selling the kid illegal fireworks.
My daughter in law's little sister died of an overdose
a few years ago. The cops knew who sold her
the drugs, and they were not held responsible. Kathy, it's
(38:13):
because your daughter in law's little sister wasn't a celebrity
like that dude.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Offer friends Matthew Perry.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Then they go, oh, we're gonna arrest this guy and
this person and that person in that person regular person
at her regular person.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
They don't bother with that. That sucks.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Now there is another fireworks story. I have a hard
time believing this other fireworks story. This just seems adougi
this other story. You would be right when the guy
claims he picked up a firework and it blew his
hands off, because that is what a man in northern
California is claiming. Jason Turner and his girlfriend allegedly were
(38:54):
walking along the beach and they are such goods citizens,
good samaritans that they were picking up remnant fireworks from
the beach. You know, people going on to the beach.
They're lighting off fireworks illegally there in California on the
fourth of July. And then they leave all of the
burnt out cardboard things down there. And he he is
(39:20):
such a good samaritan that he was picking up all.
You know, he's not a volunteer, he's not a paid
person or anything like that. He's just going along picking
up firework remains off the beach.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Him and his girlfriend. He says he picked up a
bomb like device on the beach that then went off,
which resulted in the loss of his hand. Why now,
I find this story a little bit hard to believe.
They've started to gofund me for this guy.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
They've raised over ninety million, or not ninety million, over
ninety thousand dollars already. I'm not eyeing this story one bit,
not one How would this guy on July fifth be
picking up remnants of a firework and that firework just
(40:12):
randomly explodes in his hand.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
Well, you didn't light it.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
No, they found something and they tried to light it,
or they were lighting their own stuff. Police responded to
the area and found significant injury to his hand. He
was found to a He was taken to a nearby hospital.
The sheriff there told NBC News that investigators haven't been
able to determine exactly what exploded because, quote, we did
(40:37):
not find any debris or remnants of the device. So
your hand gets blown off by some sort of firework device,
you know exactly where your hand got blown off, because
you're standing there on the beach. There's going to be
remnants of that device on the beach along with your fingers.
(40:58):
So this is a scam. I don't know what they
were up through. I think they probably the kid or
the guy blew off his own hand lighting off fireworks.
And then they can't go around saying that, right, oh,
I was lighting off these illegal fireworks. They have to
concoct this story of ah, you know what, we were
just cleaning up the beach. We were being good Samaritans,
and I reached on I picked something up, and sure,
(41:20):
somebody tried to light this fourteen hours ago and then
it blew off in my hand.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Did not happen? It might happen.
Speaker 5 (41:27):
There might have been a bag, There might have been
other remnants. You don't know that it didn't happen. Happen?
How do shells explode years later?
Speaker 4 (41:37):
Huh? Don't they have those World War two things and stuff? Yes,
those are different.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
That's like a mine or a bomb or something like that,
not a firework a firework? How would a firework explode
if you don't light it?
Speaker 4 (41:52):
Are there other guys that you don't need to light?
Not that I'm aware of, But what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (42:00):
You pull like you pull a string, and I don't
know party poppers worked the way at you but that's
not gonna blow off your head. I agree, So I
I just I'm not buying this story personally. I think
they have come up with this story and they're using
this to as a gofund me. But I think they're
covering for something that he was doing and he blew
(42:22):
off his own hand. Now there's another story I definitely
do not buy. I'm real curious to hear what you
think about this. Let me take a quick break. There's
a woman who went to Italy and.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
She either.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Either has the worst luck possible or she's a little
bit of an over sensitive kook, one.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
Or the other.
Speaker 5 (42:44):
Why are you so cynical you don't believe anything anymore?
Speaker 4 (42:47):
What's wrong with you? Because I just find her.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
I'll just tell you the headline when we come back,
and you tell me whether you believe, whether it's possible
that this actually happened, or we'll be right back. We
also have these hizzy coming up in just a moment.
We'll be back on Rover's Morning Glory.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
Hang on,
