Speaker 1 (00:09):
Are you not great? Just trying to get everything thrown together?
I got four hundred things coming at me all at
once day.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Do you want to start with good news today? With
a good news, with a like a little burst of
good news kind of put some pep in your step for.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
The Thursday, like you don't know?

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Yes, absolutely, I mean do you have said good news?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I do? Oh my god, it would be really brutal
if he didn't us money.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
No, we broke the drought. We were in a little
bit of a drought, a little bit of a long
spell of no thousand dollars winners.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Oh really, yesterday.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
We got Jody and one one thousand dollars from taking
our advice Joey Show.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
We're getting forty bucks each, right.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Jody, Yeah, we'll take that via Venmo PayPal. It doesn't
matter the travelers check.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Uh yeah, I mean anything works these days. It'll put
a smile on my face. Congratulations to you, Jody. Folks,
listen for the keywords play the game. You see. She listened,
she did, and she got one thousand dollars. You could
be next for me. I don't know what to hear.
Oh yeah, I mean, is there Jody guys? Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
So does that make you any happier?

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Uh? Not much, I can tell. Yeah, it'll be fine.
Everything will be fine. All right. Let's start off as
we always do. Let's put our ears the ground, our
fingers on the postles, see what was happening in this great, big,
wide world of ours, and we go to the latest
stupid trend on the internet. And just in case you

(01:48):
were wondering, I want to tell you ahead of tize
this is not real. Okay, it's not real. I want
you to know that it's not real. I can't believe
that there are people who watch these things and go,
oh my god, what's the world coming to? This is real.
There's a couple, Bud. I love your faith and how

(02:11):
how smart you think people are out there? But in
some cases they are this dump. Now, I think most
people with a brain and an IQ over fourteen know
that the cat carrying a gun at the front door
trend is indeed faith.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
You obviously haven't met my cats.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Uh, your cats can do this. Yeah, we're in for
a world. Wow. This is a cat with a shotgun.
This is what is the latest thing with AI to
explode all over the internet.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Let go.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Bull shooting at the oh?

Speaker 4 (02:53):
This brings me so much joy.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
You know, I didn't see the pit bull.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
This is life now, this is Kevin says, this is real.
It might as well be. I don't know. I mean
it's not.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I know I've gotten some blowback from Sora before on
using pictures of real people. Can I use pictures of
my real dog?

Speaker 6 (03:19):
About fifteen seconds, Carl absolutely is getting a gun.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Carl's gonna have to get a little gun.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Shotgun.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
The new the new move, for those of you listening,
is you put a cat with a gun or a
dog with a gun at the front door of somebody's
house and you make it look like the animals are
trying to rob the place. And then if people come
out of the freak out. Are you kidding? The gun?
I love the idea. Drop it drop the gun. Like like,

(03:52):
if you do find a cat with a shotgun at
your front door, you obviously need to start talking to it.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
It's like, drop it dropped the God has there been
an animal that has like like with capabilities of you know,
firing a gun that has done that.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
I feel like people got away with murder by saying
their dog was the one that messed with the gun.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
But a dog, I'm talking like a dog is fired
a gun before a monkey, like a chimpanzee, like a.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Monkey fired a gun. There's a lot of guns, and
there's a lot of monkeys, and there's no way that yeah,
it's it's gotta it must have happened.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
There's because there's definitely Sora videos of a monkey's firing.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
For reals, He's like, obviously this is fake. The cat
doesn't have a gun.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Google, are you kidding?

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Drop it?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Drop the gun, Let go, let go go. I believe
the goal of these cats these days, it's just unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
That part they're giving me like, you know, situations, scenario,
but have not like any recorded instances of monkeys firing.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
I'm talking like those chimpanzees or whatever they were at
the zoo.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
The cigarettes.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah you think they were shooting too, But I mean
if they saw people using guns, or.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
If they're in America they have access to.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Boat, well, I'm telling you there's too many guns and
too many monkeys. A monkey shot a gun before. There's
just no doubt there's the monkey shot a gun at
one point in time.

Speaker 6 (05:28):
Well, a monkey has not fired a gun in a
genuine act of aggression that it is possible.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
So what we need is for a monkey to get
real pissed off and then shoot somebody and they're like,
all right, now the monkey did it off.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Can you imagine if the monkey's like, wow, this is
a lot more effective than throwing poop.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
We're done for. If the monkeys figure out the gun thing, we.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Are this whole time, I've been throwing the poop because
I thought that was the worst thing that could do.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Uh huh, wow, you show me this gun before a
new fear unlocked. When your gun goes missing in your house,
it's not just your your kid that you have to
suspect was responsible for. This could perhaps be the family pet,
you know, lady dog shooting at me. I don't know
what to do anymore.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
They get this.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
Path because I just I just press enter on the
prompt and they're like, this may violate our guardrails around
illicit or legal activities.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
It must be something.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
What do I have to write you?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Well on the.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
Put this dog in a security doorbell cam firing holding
a what looks to be.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, and maybe they maybe they added the sound effects
later or something I.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Don't or maybe this is a new rule, like we're
discovering all the fun things about Sora days after they
institute some new rule where odes we can't have violent
animals Martin Luther King throwing in Zin's and calling them
six millie Lippillies.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I still say sea Land. There are some people, some
old people in particular, who would see that video and go,
what is the world coming to? I cannot believe it
that cats and dogs have gone to shooting things. I mean,
unbelievable out there. I mean, it's it's for me, it's

(07:25):
a stretch in the head.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
But I also watched the uh the newer Lion King
with my wife and she guns, uh no. But the
one where the animals look more realistic. People call it
live action. It's definitely not live action. It's just better animation.
And she thought that they trained the animals.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Dudes, I want to throw your wife under that bus.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Still unclear. You never you never know, all right, folks,
So let us know if you've seen those videos, because
they appear to be going quite viral at the moment,
a new one.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I'm getting a generation. Yeah, I guess change up some words.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Carl was super Soaker, so funny, still funny. Carl holding
any sort of weaponry, even a slingshot, I'd still be
excited about it. And honestly, Oh, we got this huge
NBA bus today where there was an illegal sports gambling probe.
Some of you have been shouting at the top of

(08:22):
your lungs for your entire life that the NBA was rigged,
that these different sports leagues were rigged. You might have
been right. You might have been onto something. We'll go
into what they said at this press conference. The people
who are arrested, and then it's like a double arresting.
Was it was a sports gambling probe and an illegal

(08:45):
gambling family crime family casino operation, and both of them
were straight out of the movies. It's crazy, crazy to
hear what happened here. I watched the whole press conference,
and I was pretty enthralled at just what they said
was going on, how they were ripping people off the
levels at which they can scam you, specifically at the

(09:05):
card games that they were talking about. It is just
jaw dropping to me. So we'll get into that in
just a bit here on the show Real Quick Tips
at the news Junkie dot Com. Charles emails the show
and he says, I know it's not your fault. I
like that you started with that at least it might be,
though I don't know. I don't hold it against you,
but I just want to express how annoying the ad

(09:26):
placement has been in the podcast lately. Oh God, only
one of them on Monday interrupted Amy right in the
middle of her segment. They regularly pop in at random
times and it has me screaming at the radio. That's
a whole lot of a macaroni. He says, I don't
know what to tell you. I've complained about this like
I have every other time before that. They told me

(09:49):
to like put these little ad markers in. Then they
told me to take the ad markers out. Then we
moved over to endo the podcast thing when things were working,
because that's what we do sometimes when everything's perfect, we
move it over somewhere else. I broke fix it till
it is, I guess. So it seems like that's the strategy.
I promise you if you put up with it for now,
I am as frustrated as you are and fighting to

(10:09):
get it cleared out of the the podcast. But we'll see,
We'll see what happens there. Also, Zachary emails tips at
the news Junkie dot com. He says, watch the Alabama
Solution on HBO Max if you haven't yet. It's not
exactly new news, but no less shocking despicable, s says Zachary.
I did watch that. I thought it was kind of boring.

(10:31):
The one thing that I do think is interesting that
doesn't get enough attention is the kind of stuff that
does still remain to get smuggled into prison. I don't
care about prisoners whining about conditions. I really, you know,
like save save it, okay, uh, Like there was a
there was some flooding in my cell after torrential downpours

(10:54):
came by. It's like, okay, now, at the end of
the day, a lot of these people are in there
for horrific things. We should try to do the best
we can within the circumstances. But some of this was
just whining by by some of these prisoners, in my estimation.
But I did see a story that lined up with
your email today, and I saw one the other day
that I'd even mentioned on the show that I was

(11:16):
just enthralled by as well. They said it's a frequent
occurrence outside prisons at night that you hear the whirring
sound of not one, but many drones, and like the
prison yard at night will just be like all the
drones flying overhead, and the drones will drop drugs, they'll

(11:38):
drop weapons, they'll drop all kinds of stuff on the ground,
and then when the prisoners go back out, they'll get
those drugs or guns. And I think they should do
everything they can to stop that. They were trying to
enact some new drone laws and there were certain places
you weren't supposed to be allowed to fly them around.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
But do you think that the drug dealers flying those
drones are going to abide by those rules?

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Not particularly. No, they have to have like some better
technology I would imagine to find this kind of stuff.
And we don't know exactly what happened, but there's a
case in Florida, in the federal prison in one of
the federal prisons in Florida, where one of the inmates
was shot and killed. And think about that for a second.
This happened northwest of Orlando, in a federal prison. The

(12:26):
inmate was shot and killed right like another inmate had
a frigging gun, a loaded weapon behind bars, And they
haven't determined yet if this person got it from one
of the guards or something, or smuggled it in, you know,
in somebody's backside or whatever it was. But I do
think there's a solid point there in the fact that

(12:49):
they shouldn't be getting drugs, they shouldn't be getting guns,
They shouldn't be getting this stuff in these prisons, and
prisoners and everybody else at these facilities should be protected
from that kind of stuff. The rest of it, I
just honestly didn't. I thought it was kind of dumb.
But all right, let me know what you think. Send
a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. When we return,
we'll get to this NBA breakdown where there was gambling

(13:14):
going on and you have coaches and players that have
been arrested, and the whole scheme. I'll lay it out
for you real quick. This scheme is just unbelievable. The
details are coming up next in the News Junkie. No

(13:42):
one's surprised. I don't think about this big giant gambling bus.
I'm The only thing that surprises me that people still
engage so much in illegal gambling when it seems like
to gamble in a legal way that seems a little
bit more. I don't I don't want to say fair,
but like you know, at least regulated, right, it's so easy,

(14:04):
especially like getting involved in card games and stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Well, people still do the gambling on like the not
so savory websites I think, right, Like some of the
twitch streamers, Like, isn't there those guys that just like
play slots? Oh yeah, they on their Twitch. Those are
kind of like they're not the most above board. I
don't think so.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Now I see ads for them all the time.

Speaker 6 (14:28):
So they're enough above board to get some ads based
on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
They they are out there, they are taking money, but
are they fair? I don't think any of this stuff
is fair, And we see some of that this week
with this huge bus like the FBI was involved. They
said four major crime families were involved. Whoa NBA coaches
players all of these different type of figures in the

(14:53):
NBA from Miami Heat guard Terry Rosier, Rose Roger Rosier
and Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups and former NBA
player Damon Jones among those arrested. And this scheme that
they were involved in is just absolutely massive in scope.

(15:13):
This broke down the line and they said, hey, we
got big news here. There's been a huge NBA gambling buzz.

Speaker 8 (15:20):
Team passed the hour now when some breaking news on
the story in the NBA.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Watch this now. It's still developing.

Speaker 9 (15:26):
It's our understanding that their arrests being made actively as
we speak.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Damn, this is rocking the league.

Speaker 8 (15:32):
The FBI arresting a coach in Portland as well as
current and former players.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
We expect to learn more forty minutes from now. We
did get some of the details at a press conference
not long after, and you had all the big three
letter agencies up there talking about what was happening, talking
about what these arrests were about, who's been charged, etc. Etc.
I mean, it's kind of crazy, this whole damn thing.

(16:00):
Here is some of the press conference where they discussed
these There was like two different schemes going on. One
was insider gambling, which no one who knows about sports
is surprised about. The players were gambling based on information
that they had about their friends or other people they
knew in the league and rigging the team. Well, there's

(16:23):
some accusations of that, but hold on, let's get to
what he says first. Here at this press conference, this
is one of the people who was talking about the
charges that have been announced. Here we go.

Speaker 8 (16:35):
I'm Christopher Rea, the Assistant Director in charge of the
FBI New York Field Office. Today, as you've heard, our
office conducted a massive nationwide takedown from two indictments of
thirty four defendants for their alleged involvement in two separate
illegal poker and sports betting schemes. Where as you heard,

(16:57):
the odds were rigged.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
In their fail This guy has pissed.

Speaker 8 (17:01):
Among these defendants are thirteen members and associates of the Banano, Gambino,
Genovi's crime.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Families, the Banano, Benveno, and Get and I forgot the
last one, but the Genoviez, the Italian crime families.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
It's a very funny last.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
This is gonna sound very naive of me, but I
didn't really know that major crime families was still a thing,
and definitely not four of them.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
I mean, I think it's still out there, but not
like you like it. Used to be, you know, like,
I guess they're still involved in stuff like this.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
How are you known as a major crime family and
still able to get away with being It's like, it's
like that that movie about what was the Joshua Jackson
movie where he joins the secret society the card Counting one.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Oh no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
He goes to college and he joins a secret society
and they all have a bunch of money and they
meet in like you know, mini castles and stuff, and.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
It's based on like scull and Bones right.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Right, And when they made the movie, they they weren't
able to use scull and Bones because it was trademarked.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
And I'm like, how secret is your society? There's legal
documents you're saying, it's a little weird that they're going
up there and they're like involved in this scheme to
the fraud and gamble illegally in the United States. The
Gambino family of two thirteen fair Weather Street.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
And the Banos brought to you.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Old on you know, right where these people are what's
happening here? They're the crime families NBA stars as a
whole big thing here.

Speaker 8 (18:54):
To include Capos and soldiers from these families.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Additionally, as you heard, current and.

Speaker 8 (19:04):
Former NBA coaches and players are also implicated to include
Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones, and Terry Rogier.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Terry Rochier. All right, three of the.

Speaker 8 (19:17):
Name defendants are charged for their alleged roles in both schemes.
This alleged illegal gambling operation hustled unwitting victims out of
tens of millions of dollars.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
All right, So this was a big money enterprise. And
here's the kicker. Officials were investigating whether the Terry Rosier
guy manipulated his performance in a March twenty twenty three
game against the Charlotte Hornets, and they said he had
been betting on this during the game, he played roughly
nine minutes and scored only five points against the New
Orleans Pelicans because of a sore right foot. Before that game,

(19:53):
he averaged thirty five minutes of playing time in twenty
one points per game. And they think he might have
rigged the game by like failing on purpose out there.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
But wait, he said, thirty five minutes of play and
twenty something points.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Twenty one points per game is what he was averaging.
But he only got nine or he only got five points.
That's not too far off of it if you went
you know, yeah, if you would have played the whole thing.
I guess, I don't know. Is this the same game
faked the sore foot. They're saying he might have faked
all kinds of stuff. Is this Let me see if
this is the same guy Terry o Jay Okay, I

(20:30):
guess this is him, and he's playing this particular game.
All right, he was still money. He just like rolled
the ball to the opponents. What he's the guy with
the ball, all right, dribble, dribble, still money. He just
like rolled the ball and still go. If that's him
in Miami, he yeah, that's the guy. That's the guy

(20:50):
in question. So they're saying there was some games where
he played so poorly and turned over the ball in
such seemingly obvious ways that they believe that you know,
he was beat and then getting out there and purposely
doing a performance. I he can for a lot of money.
I mean a lot of these guys will do this.
And they also said some of these people Sabrina were

(21:12):
pushed to further their involvement in both of these schemes
because they built up gambling debt so they would like
they would lose sometimes and then they would go, you better,
you know, you better do this X, Y and Z,
or we're gonna tell on you for gambling and for
you know, being a debt with like the mafia. So

(21:33):
pretty crazy. The whole thing. This always brings up the
thing for me which I think is like a big
differentiator in the line in the sand on this in
this world where people like Pete Rose, who of course
is you know, had his issues and been like banned
from the Hall of Fame of Baseball and stuff, where
they I believe, almost exclusively bet on themselves, yes, and

(21:54):
bet for themselves to win.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Pete Rose bet on his team to win, which I
always find so stupid that the Major League Baseball organization
was the one that, like, you know, they wouldn't let
him in the Hall of Fame and they had and
he was this big like he was the bad guy
and this whole thing. I'm like, you bet on your

(22:16):
own team, and they're like, well, the problem is he
didn't bet on his team when he didn't think they're
going to win. I go, yeah, yeah, that's how gambling works.
The people that should be mad are the people taking
the bets?

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, But to me, there is a big difference between
that and if you potentially are throwing the game like that.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Like really really allegation against Terry Rosier Rogier, however Rosier
is he's alleged to have tipped off co defendants about
his intention to leave that game early, leading to wagers
on him underperforming.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, I mean, what is that if not the fighter
saying I'll go down in the third round yep, like
you're setting up a thing. And then everybody who participated
in any of these games and gambling, they thought they
were walking people who are playing to the best of
their ability, and they thought they were going to get
a fair shake. But they didn't. And and many of
you are just not surprised at all. And I don't

(23:07):
blame you. I think a lot of people think this
is the default.

Speaker 6 (23:11):
Did we not try to introduce a league in which
like betting was allowed, that even the players were allowed
to be involved in that. I don't think it went anywhere,
but I could shorn it was some sort of like actor. Yeah,
they're like, okay, yeah, well make sure they can do
the dances of the end zone, and they can bend
on themselves or against themselves.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Oh, most of the leagues have embraced some sort of
betting at this point in time, so it's never been
more important. I think that you make sure that people
are being fair or as fair as possible. I guess
it's tough to be fair when you have so many
people involved. You know, there's like so many people who
could cheat. And in baseball, all it takes is an
outfielder to be like, oh, no, I missed the ball,

(23:54):
and then the outcome of a game has changed because
of that. So I want to know if you think
this is just prevalent and common across sports, or what
you think should happen to these folks. But they also
were talking about the card gambling operation they had. They
said when they went in they would have people that
they called the fish. The fish would be people who
they encouraged to come gamble and promise they would be

(24:17):
gambling among NBA greats. And so they would get there
and they'd be like, oh my god, there's famous people here.
They didn't know these fish that everything around them was rigged.
The cards were rigged, all the other players were fake.
Everything was set up as an elaborate scam. They were
monitoring their cards and everybody around them was playing a

(24:38):
role to take their money from them, and they took
tens of millions of dollars in these two schemes. Pretty crazy.

a black belt ninja and purposely triggering the texting service

it just explode, all I'd have to do is say
like two or three wrong things in a couple of sentences,
and the correction crew would dive down if I mispronounced something.
If they'll just come.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
In and he calls himself the news junkie.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would be like, what
an idiot?

Speaker 10 (26:48):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
There will be all kinds of stuff like that. But
but sometimes the stories we talk about and I'm like,
I didn't think people get that fired up about it,
and talking about the people rising up again to e
bike teams. Folks were fired up. Man, they were fired
was very new to me. They were fired up, and
they were fired up in support of the people attacking

(27:10):
these teenagers on these e bikes. They did not like
this whole culture of people riding around on these things.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
I mean, I feel like I don't support attacking teenagers,
but I do kind of like feel for these people
if the teenagers are behaving in such a way that
they're making other people feel unsafe.

Speaker 6 (27:34):
I mean, but a part of me thinks that you're
talking about the group of teenagers on bicycles, like with
the chain and everything, one of the wheelies and seawn,
Are you talking about the rentable e bikes.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
I'm talking about e bikes and scooters that are around
most of these cities. But in a way, those things
are kind of connected to that. Like cyclists, well, the
cyclist versus motorists is a larger battle that I think
this falls under because people in cars tend to hate

(28:07):
people on bikes. And let me be the first to
assure you a lot of people on bikes hate people
in cars, and I've I've been in the middle of
this show down many times. I'll tell you the update
on the story that got everybody so mad. And we'll
play some audio from this in just a second. But
one example that I give when I talk about this
kind of battle back and forth was I was at
a stop sign one time and I stopped my my

(28:31):
SUV that I was driving right through it million years ago.
And as I say, when did you drive an SUV
Zuzu Rodeo? I had at the time a Zuzu Rodeo,
but you called it a rodeo to make it sound
a little fancier. I did not. No, no, I did not.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
It.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
It blew a lot, like six months or something.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
It was not.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
And I pull up to the stop sign and as
I stopped for a second, I look over and I
see this guy. He's away away on his bicycle, and
he starts shouting at me, and he's driving down the
sidewalk on his bicycle full speed.

Speaker 11 (29:05):
You know.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
He's one of the guys that's got like those curly handlebars,
and he's in a position where he's racing a ghost
or something. And this guy is hauling ass toward the
side of my Carney's screaming. So I just stop, and
he drives on his bike full speed into the side
of my suv and then he perceived he starts yelling
at me, and I'm like, why are you yelling at me?

(29:27):
You had half of a football feed it's Hildale bro
to stop on your bicycle, and you didn't, and you
crashed into my car. And he's like, you're in the way,
You're pulled in the way. And I go, I'm not
totally sure about the laws, sir, but I'm pretty sure
you're not supposed to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk.
And he was just mad, mad, mad, mad mad mad,

(29:48):
and he drove away. And that was one of my
forays into this world. But I learned shortly after, like
people in cars and people in bikes fight quite often.
The e bike thing is just kind of another ranch
off of that. Now, we talked yesterday about this college
professor that was one of the people that attacked the
e Brett bike rider. I guess we have video of it.

(30:09):
Now there's video that's come in.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
This is not good for professor. Angry might not be
good for him. Let's see just how angry he got.
Uh hang on, let me see here.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
This is the story from WFTV about this interaction.

Speaker 12 (30:25):
So we first told you about the story as it
was breaking here and I witness news last night. This
video was recorded on a camera at Jackson Heights. We've
blurred the exterior portions to protect the identity of the
students here on the Oviedo Middle School campus.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Some of their faith grads live at.

Speaker 12 (30:41):
Olvido Police headquarters this afternoon and Q, what have you
learned about this suspect?

Speaker 1 (30:46):
So I did not realize this, but first of all,
says child attack arrest. It's a college campus. How young
we are do we say? She just said Ovito middle school?
Oh was it is you? You professor? Oh, they'll smack
the middle schooler. Correction on my part. Then, yeah, Okay.
I thought he was doing this at UCF and the
college kids were zooming around.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
I thought the same thing, and I was like, I
was like, why are you blurring the outsides of the
video to protect the college kids?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
And then she said middle school.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
And I was like, oh, this guy, this had nothing
to do with the UCF campus other than the fact
that the guy works there that was using his job there.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Damn. Okay, So yeah, Jackson Heights Middle School in Ovito,
Florida was where he was arrested, and now they've got
this video and it shows him, the professor from this
college UCF. It shows him in the face of this
huge crowd of middle school kids and it doesn't look great.

Speaker 11 (31:43):
I did some digging and found out that this suspect
is well educated. He got his PhD from cal Tech,
one of the best engineering schools in the country. But
police say he wasn't thinking straight when he decided to
get on this campus and attack the kids.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Was all caught on video.

Speaker 11 (31:57):
Ooh on the street things set up on a cell
phone video. The adult among the students is Shoe Sean Peng,
according to the arrest report on October fourteen. Well, they
yelled at a boy to slow down as he rode to.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
School, all right, so he was upset that somebody was
going too fast. He told them to slow down. Then
he followed them to the middle school. That's where you
get into the dumb dumb territory. Don't follow kids to
school when you think they're riding their bikes too fast
or something. If you really have an issue, call the
school and say there's a bunch of your students that
are like driving recklessly near the campus. Can you have

(32:34):
somebody out there to keep an eye on this if
you really wanted to escalate it, like call the cops
or something. But you don't want to confront a bunch
of middle schoolers on campus. I don't think it's going
to end well for you.

Speaker 4 (32:46):
Most times, middle schoolers that have iPhones.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, they're all filma shy.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
And that was just one of fourteen angles available on
the internet.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
And what's the visual always going to look like when
you're up in the face of a bunch of middle
schoolers you're like, yeah, screaming at them.

Speaker 6 (33:01):
It's not like how it used to be that one
adult can put fourteen twelve year olds in line.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
At this point, would it not be.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
Better advice to say, go talk to their teachers or
the principal. Yeah, let them know and have them handle it,
because this did not work out well for him, especially
after following them to school.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Let me just a little hint for people. Here's a
great way to deal with this. Okay, little hint for people.
A lot of times you get mad about something that
happens over and over and over and over again, and
then you just explode. Instead of doing that, when you
see something like this that's happening. Pull out your camera.
Try to be like a little you know, surreptitious about it.
But pull out your camera on the slide, record some

(33:45):
footage of this once, twice, three times, four times. Keep
doing it, and then all of a sudden you have
a compilation of this behavior, and then that is a
much more powerful thing that you could send over to
the school or something. All of that is going to
work better than you're just getting mad at yelling in
the face of these middle school.

Speaker 11 (34:00):
When the student said no, Pang followed him onto Jackson
Heights Middle School's campus. Once on the school grounds, police
say Pang grabbed the boys armed, then smacked his helmet
off his head.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Charles on YouTube sets full Asian Dad. He was to
look look. They blurred down as he rode. They blurred
so much of this out that it's a little hard
to see. But for those of you who are watching
on YouTube YouTube dot com slash of the news junkie,
he does smack his helmet right off his head and
the student said no.

Speaker 11 (34:29):
Pang followed him onto Jackson Heights Middle School's campus. Once
on the grounds, police say Pang grabbed the boys armed,
then smacked his helmet off his head.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
To the other students and push Pang to the ground.

Speaker 11 (34:46):
She's accused of attacking a second boy before school staffers
step in.

Speaker 13 (34:50):
Oh man, he has jumped on the jump for them
like little monkeys.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
These kids all jumped on the guy, and and that
he's trying to go for a second one. This is
what I'm saying. You're burying yourself in bad ideas. You
have to watch people doing this stuff and start building
a case. People are not good enough about this, and
they'll lie when something makes you mad. Start building a case. Okay,
even if you never end up sending it somewhere, it

(35:19):
will give you a little bit of a relaxing, feel
good moment to start capturing a bit of evidence, put
it away, and then if anything ever comes up, you go, hey,
this is the problem. This has been going on for
a while. Here's evidence of these same kids doing this
over and over again. And their school will go, oh,
thank you, that's compelling evidence. We'll do something about this.

(35:41):
And then you win over the middle schoolers. In this case,
you look like a crazy person and they get to
beat you up. Yeah, and I don't even think they
got in trouble.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
I will say they probably didn't, but I will say,
if you're going to hit a kid with a helmet on,
he kind of did it in the least attacking the
kid way.

Speaker 6 (36:02):
It wasn't popped it. It wasn't a properly placed helmet.
It should have been clipped here.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Yeah, he more so hit the helmet and just swatted
it off of him. I was thinking, like a like
a side of the head, just like bam, hitting the
kid right in the in the cranium.

Speaker 6 (36:17):
I mean, you should have knocking that thing off and
then it goes without saying, don't touch a kid that's
not yours. Secondly, though, I put five dollars down that
that man had no idea, would have never seen it
coming that all of the preteens jumped on him.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
It might be a culture like I don't know how
long this guy's been in the country. I don't know
how long this this professor's lived here. He might be like, well,
where I got from, you know, this kind of stuff
would never happen, right, did say cal Tech? Yeah, I
mean you would think that he would pick up on
the middle school kids being monsterus. Some comes sometimes and

(36:55):
you should probably not go out there and mix it up.
With him. But tell us what you think. Do you
think he should be in trouble? Send us a dispatch
or an email. Record your dispatch at the news junky
dot com or tips T I P s at the
newsjunkie dot com. Let's see what you got here for
us real quick. This person says, Hey, Sean Sabrina Ceiling.
This is Paul from Palm City. I think the movie

(37:16):
Ceiling was thinking about. It's called Shade. It stars Jamie
Fox and Sylvester Stallone with a great movie and I
haven't seen it. It's a must watch. Wiggle wiggle pop up. Nope,
close BONSA called the skulls the Skulls. Well, that makes
a lot more sense if it's about skull and crossboat
as you said earlier. Uh, somebody said this is an
ape with an AK forty seven? Is it real?

Speaker 2 (37:37):
No?

Speaker 1 (37:37):
This is fake as hell? Uh fourteen years ago though,
hold on, this has to be this is fake. This
is from twentieth century Fox Research Library, Sir, this is
a thousand percent fake. Yeah, this is from a movie.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (38:00):
No, probably, Oh yeah, they give the ape a gun
as a chip. Are the chimpion? It's all fake. That's fake.
That's fag's hilarious though. It's funny, but it's definitely fake. Sir,
thank you for the email. You could be next tips

(38:21):
t I. P. S At the News Junkie dot com.
All right, quick break, when we come back, we have
so much stuff to get to and I want to
ask you. There's a new idea for a theme park
in Las Vegas and it's really interesting and I want
to see if you would spend your heart earned money
to do this and if you would think it would
be fun. The idea is coming up next on the

(38:43):
News Junkie. Would you spend your hard earned money on this?

(39:04):
I'm asking this to everybody includ.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
There's a lot of things I'd spend my hard earned
money on.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Let's see, let's see if this will do it for you,
because they're about to build a massive theme park in
Las Vegas, Nevada, and it's an idea that I don't
even know if it's been done like this before.

Speaker 6 (39:18):
Vegas got quite the budget, and yet are doing very
poorly with Tori.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
They need people, yes, they need people to go in there,
and it's been a little dead, so maybe this ramps
it up for them. This is going to be a
brand new theme park called Retro Escapes in Las Vegas,
and there will be five lands in this theme park.
So think about like Familiar, your Epic Universe, your Islands

(39:45):
of Adventure, your Disney and yeah, they got like all
these different areas. But the areas once you get into
this theme park will be the nineties, the eighties, the seventies,
the sixties, in the fifties, and when you go there,
you'll be transported immediately into that moment, Like you walk

(40:07):
into the nineties era and everything looks like the nineties.

Speaker 13 (40:11):
There's cocaine everywhere, nostalgia everywhere, and and the music from
the nineties is playing, and they have performances from famous
acts from the nineties that are still out and touring,
and they have rise the sixties.

Speaker 6 (40:27):
Yeah, and am I going to be treated the same
way as the women were treated in the fifties?

Speaker 13 (40:33):
Maybe they do go down of fifty fifties, just the
kitchen and that's all.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
I don't know if they have social norms enforced when
you get into these zones, but they have the nineties,
the eighties, the seventies. Why does this land have more
water phones? This is very weird. I have a couple
of questions. One would you go to What would be
the area of this that you would go to? So
many of the audiences just to say nine because of

(41:00):
when you were born, probably good them.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
I thought the seventies and eighties sounded real fun.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
It could be cool.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
You're in the section.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Everything themed out like that, it says daniel LEO Junior
has announced this park and he's the founder behind the project.
They're working with PGAV Destinations, which is the team behind
the Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind ride at at Epcot.
They also did SeaWorld, Yas Island in Abu Dhabi and

(41:30):
Discovery Cove. I'm supposed to say Yas Island ys that's
on a book at Yeah. So, Guardians of the Galaxy
Cosmic Rewind is probably one of my favorite rides at
a theme park I've ever been on. It's a fun thing.
It feels like you're dancing basically, and it's a blast.
And the folks who built that are really, you know,
up to something. In the center of this theme park,

(41:51):
they will have the Fountain of Youth and then all
around it will be these portals. Into the nineties to eighties,
the seventies and sixties, the fifties. Uh this, I just
told you that the daniel Leo Junior guy and his
and his father daniel Leo Senior are the founders behind
the company that is making this, and.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
They have a background in theme parks. I'm going to
look it up. I told you that I still thinking
about that eighties section portal.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
They're working with a group that created the Guardians of
the Galaxy Cosmic rewind where if it's going to be
shut up whatever? Sorry? Six million dollars though, is it really? Yeah?
How much did Epic Universe cost? How much is that
seven eight Let's see, so this is going to be

(42:39):
high level if that's the case.

Speaker 6 (42:41):
So let me guess and I an advance apologized.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Did they already give the year in which this is
going to be open?

Speaker 1 (42:48):
I don't see it here in the story that I'm
looking at, it says an opening day for the park
has not been announced just yet, but there's total talking
about it. To me, it could be a genius idea.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
And I'm really Epic was between seven estimated seven and
seven point seven billion.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
So this is all along the same side. It's close
to it. Yeah, it was like this is gonna be
a real full fledged theme park of it.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
But it's like Epic Universes has a lot of really
high tech rides that are themed on intellectual property. What
is the money going towards at this Vegas park?

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Are we talking? We are having? Yeah, you're gonna have
to have rides. You're gonna have to have like stuff
to pull you into these different eras. And Sea Land
has already pointed out a very significant problem with performances
in some of these these uh particular years like the
or the decades, the fifties and the sixties. Right, you

(43:48):
got who's the skeleton that's been playing around Vegas and
it's his family is just like propping them up all
the stage. Valley Valley, Franky Valley might be available for
a very limited time.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
I thought Rod had a little Rod residency there for
a second.

Speaker 6 (44:04):
He did live him on that translucent chair so that
everyone else that was directly in front of him thought
he was standing up.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
But would you spend your hard earned money on this? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (44:14):
I still want to go in the sphere.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
And what would be the best bet here? Let us
know your thoughts. Send a dispatch at the news Junkie
dot com or tips at the news Junkie dot com.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Moses went to a Wizard of Oz at the sphere.
Daddy really cool.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
I saw a YouTube video it just played auto played
in the background. I assure you it wasn't when I
was trying to watch it auto played after another video
I was watching, and the video was somebody who went
to the Backstreet Boys inside the Sphere, and I let
it play because I had never really seen a concert

(44:50):
or a bunch of clips from a concert in that venue,
and it was mind blowing.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
Oh, there's visually supposed to be one of.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
The coolest who's doing all of that work? Who is
creating the visuals that there must be the seer people.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
No, it's whoever is hired on. I think what we're
going to start seeing is there are people who are
already very versed in creating like led visuals for electronic
music festivals, stuff like that, shows like with high dollar
production value, and they're like, all right here, you're already

(45:28):
doing work on screens this big now here are the
dimensions of the sphere.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Do do your best? You know crazy?

Speaker 3 (45:36):
And the weird part is, how do you rehearse a
thing like that without just going there like as the
visual director, as the creator of all content that's going
to be there, which is the reason people are going like, yes,
it's cool to see the Backstreet Boys.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
But I think a lot of the eyes are not
on them.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
And I think that's what a lot of the bands
that these sphere residencies, a lot of the bands that
book these things are probably realizing, like this is like,
we are the biggest bands in the world, and it's
been a while since we've played a concert where all
the eyes were not on us at all times.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Not only is that true ceiling, but in the video
I was watching, you could hear the crowd talking and
they weren't even reacting to the performance. They were reacting
to the changes on this sear screen behind them exactly.

Speaker 6 (46:24):
And I've heard people that wanted to go see Backstreet
Boys and like got up to front row and were
disappointed that they did not by something further back.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Oh really that the venue is like completely opposite of
every other venue because of this, Yes, which is.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
Why I'm wondering if some bands have just been like, no,
it's not for us, it's not really what we're into.

Speaker 6 (46:46):
I don't know how the Eagles are going to do it,
you know what I'm saying, unless they have that great
visual artist designer that's going to make it cool for them.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
But you have to have that the great wise is
not worthy the grateful Dead or just dead Dead in
Company that makes sense. Dead in Company.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
Yeah, Well, they've been doing it, and I've seen some
of the clips of them playing, and most of the
clips you see are you're seeing the screen here, nobody's
zooming in on the band for any of these performances,
and you go, I know that the Dead have a
pretty significant size catalog, and I'm like, did somebody create
visuals for every single Dead song plus all the covers

(47:26):
that they do, or are they're just a couple there
that they could just dial in, Like, you know, this
kind of fits the mood, let's let's let's switch to
this one.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
But don't you think that I think they could pull
this off. I think if Dead and Co. Was up
there on the stage plan and they had these great
visuals going on this sphere, I feel like the band
could walk off of the stage and people wouldn't notice
extended period of time and be whoa, whoa, and fifteen
minutes later They're like, where are the people? Where's the

(47:55):
band down there behind a lot of people say they
would try this decades theme park that they're going to
be building in Las Vegas, to the tune of like
eight billion dollars or so. Some people are saying that
they tried this previously, like the hard Rock did or
something I forgot where. They said it happened somewhere else,
somewhere in Florida. They attempted this.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
No, somebody was mentioning the Disney hotels that were supposed
to be It was among the cheaper option for Disney
hotels and they I think Pop Century was one of
them or something.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
It's abandoned now. The one that I saw them talking about.
They said it was a hard rock and now the
city owns it. That's not anywhere near what this would
be if they could pull it off, because this will
be on the level of a Universal Studios or a
Disney with the budget that Seelane mentioned. If they were
able to get the funding for it hard rock and
now the city owns it. I'm not no clue they're

(48:51):
wrong a lot over there, but I think they may
have been onto something that the chet goes by a
little fast, so I missed the actual details and it again,
Bud whoever said that on chat pop it back over?
All right, we will get to you here in just
a moment, and as a matter of fact, let's work
on a couple of your dispatches. We'll play one or
two real quick. Here is here's twin pro with a dispatch.

(49:17):
Let's go to that. What's up junkies? First of all,
I just want to say, you guys.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
Really make my driving around enjoyable of getting to listen
to you guys.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Oh good.

Speaker 5 (49:26):
Second of all, how dare these athletes and crime families
get involved with illegal gambling using inside information to make
millions and pawn millions off of innocent American people?

Speaker 1 (49:43):
This is ridiculous. That is not a job for athletes.
That is the job of politicians.

Speaker 5 (49:48):
Here are the only ones allowed to do that really need.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
To be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Truths went pro I'm still thinking about that person that
made like one hundred million dollars off of the Trump
tariff news embedding against bitcoin. Still thinking about that that move?
Is this from inside the sphere gutsy mood chain? Yeah, Yeah,

(50:15):
that's dope incredibly.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
What even look at man.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
It looks like avatar land in the background, it feels
like you're on a ride and the band is about
an inch high, and then four thousand feet high is
this massive screen with all this stunning graphics on it.
It's crazy. Man. There's a lot of stuff in Vegas,
but still not enough to draw people in. I guess
what do you think? Let us know, send us a
dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. What's sort of.

Speaker 6 (50:43):
Mind blowing to about that is that a lot of
people don't consider like they think of the sphere and
then they're like, oh, there's video all around.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
It's that kind of experience.

Speaker 6 (50:52):
But every single LED panel three sixty also has a
special set of speakers in it, so it is like
you're you're fully engulfed in it with sound as well
and vibrations.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
And I guess with Wizard of Oz the third trash
in your face.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Yeah, that's crazy. That's it is like very unique. It's
also we can tell pretty expensive to drink there.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
YEA a beer will cost you twenty dollars for domestic
or twenty one for premium got it wine twenty one dollars.
This is from our friend Clark Premium Liquor. Also, they
have the single price and the double price, and this
is one of those places where the double price is
indeed double the cost of the single. It's not like

(51:37):
it's just a couple bucks more because the premium liquor
seventeen bucks, Deluxe nineteen, Ultra liquor twenty one dollars, or forty.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
Two for a double. There's been some annoying pricing like
that I've encountered as of later. I know if you
guys have seen this. I saw just the other day.
You go somewhere and they go, I said, I'll take
a beer and they go, okay, which one you want.
I go, I'll take this man go beer that you
have and they go, all right, would you like that
in a six ounce? I go, how much is that?

(52:06):
And they said the six ounce is sixteen dollars, the
twelve ounce is seventeen dollars. Pricing structure, Yeah, like you're
I see what you're doing here. You're like, everybody's just
pushed into the the larger thing for a dollar more.
But it there's a lot of that pricing. The difference
between domestic and Premium was the one that that triggered

(52:27):
me on that from the person that was texting you.
But anyhow, I mean, I think all this stuff is fun.
I just I'm surprised even more people aren't headed over
there real quick. See, Len, you have a young boy
wandering around your house. Well, I mean it's not at
the moment, I should be more specific. I mean being
more specific about it. They're your young son, jackson, who's

(52:48):
almost two years old, is is usually wandering around your house.
And you know, with a little kid like that, you
got to be sure they're not getting into stuff.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
That's important, which it does try to get into stuff,
all right.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
I want you to keep that in mind because I'm
going to tell you a story, a true story out
of Texas where some parents made a mistake and their
kid got into something, and it's way worse than anything
you've ever done. I guarantee you this will take your
parenting abilities or just as a person all the way around.

(53:22):
You're gonna feel better about yourself after this. What did
this toddler get into? You'll never guess it, but we'll
get into it because we're talking about that. It's coming
up next. And then to use junkie. We're talking about

(53:50):
parenting and making mistakes. Everybody does it. I've shared many
of my parenting mistakes on this show, and honestly, most
of them, I do not think you should feel bad
for everybody has a mistake where a kid comes back
kids like holding a beer can they found somewhere. Yeah,
everybody looks out. I have had that happen. I mean

(54:11):
I've I've had this kind of stuff happen too. All
of a sudden you look over and the kids got it,
and oh no, and you feel bad. But there's a
lot of time that you have as a parent, especially
if you're a good parent, where kids can get into
stuff and kids are just built to it into stuff.
But you ain't seen nothing like what I'm about to
share with you. All right, This is a real moment here,

(54:32):
and worse than like.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
The kid just you know, reaching over and maybe sticking
his finger in Sabrina's old fashioned Oh yeah, worse than that, Yeah,
I think.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
I think worse than that thing that definitely didn't happen
with Jackson. Absolutely positively did not have it with Jackson.
You tell me, though. There is a story out of
San Antonio, Texas. This kid is three years old, all right.
And mom comes home from work and she puts uh
some of the stuff she has from from working that

(55:08):
day on the counter. She's a little flabbergacid. She went
by the grocery store before that, and she just kind
of left her son as she was putting around the
groceries and putting them up in the spots where she
was supposed to. And as people do with three year old,
they'll run around here and there, and you hope that
they're distracted with an iPad or a television, and they're
they're safe. Every once in a while you take your
eyes off of them. But this toddler got into mommy's work.

(55:34):
And this toddler eight, mommy's work. What does mommy do
for work? I'm Carrios. Mommy is a micro biology lab technician.
Oh go, Mommy brought home a Petri dish full of
gonorrhea bacteria and mom, Mom goes, Mom looks over and goes,

(56:02):
what are you doing? And the three year old has
the Petrie dish full of Gonnereea bacteria in his mouth
and he's a mom. The dish contained chocolate agar agar,
a brownish medium used to grow bacteria that's made of
split open red blood cells. It to the child that

(56:26):
looked like some kind of candy, and the kid starts
diving in and it was gonneriea bacteria, and they had
to bring the kid, of course, to the hospital and
report the whole thing to the cdcgees. Oh my god,
of all the things. I mean, it's better than a gun.

(56:47):
It's better than some kind of drug overdose or something.

Speaker 4 (56:50):
Plain to daycare that your kid has gone rhea.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Yeah, and I like when you say your kid has
an STD real bad thoughts start floating around. Okay, I start, WHOA,
I can explain, I can explain. I just brought the
goner rhea back from the lab. I that's fine, he
got it from his mother. Oh man, But the toddler's okay.
The three year old is okay. They didn't say whether

(57:17):
he had any symptoms from this, but the sound from
Disease Control reported it's generally not deadly if treated promptly.

Speaker 3 (57:25):
However, in a rare cases, and this is certainly a
rare case, goneria can lead the serious complications that can
be life threatening.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
Oh okay, I mean he's little, a little kid getting
that kind of sigh it's really tough. But also if
she's researching it and she's like she's got the bacteria
in the petrie dish, you gotta think that this is
like a concentrated dose of gonorrhea. This ain't just a
little gunnery.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Usually, how do I put this lightly, Usually if a
man were to give somebody gonorrhea, it would be just
a small part of the entire gift, if you will.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
I don't like the direction.

Speaker 11 (58:11):
This is.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Just being an ingredient in the No no, no. Parents,
if you've had close calls like this, let us know
what happened in your case. Don't worry. Everybody makes mistakes
like this. Yours wasn't as bad as this one here
at the lab or with the lab lady, let us know.
Sen it's a dispatch at thenewsjunkie dot com right now.
This is the In the same week, somebody pointed this

(58:35):
out on chat, saying, there was a father who I
think was like an uber driver and they found his
Toddlert nude on I four, just wandering around the interstate,
and uh, that kid did not have GONERIEA no, thankfully, no,
it was okay with that, But it was in the
middle of the interstate and risking obviously grave danger in

(59:00):
this circumstance. So yeah, I mean, this kind of stuff
does absolutely happen, and if it's happened to you, don't worry.
We're not going to be super duper judgmental. Probably just
a little bit judgmental, though. Send you a dispatch over
at thenewsjunkie dot com.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
I guess I just didn't realize that that's something you
take home with you when you're in that line of work.
There's a lot of things that you can do at
home for very many jobs. I work from home at
this job a whole lot. My wife works from home
for her job for you know, a lot of the
things that she's able to do that aren't hands on.

(59:37):
This seems like one of those things that you don't
you should stay.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
At the lab. Yeah, I would say so, or at
least now moving forward, let's keep it at the lab.
That might be good.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
Or is like, you know, at this place where she
works at this lab, do they have a hierarchy of
what can go home and what has what one has
to stay?

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
What are you leaving? What's in your back there? Like, No,
it's cool, it's just a little Gunneryhea, Yeah, nothing, no
big deal is it just says? It says coronavirus. Monday,
Danyell emails the show tips at the news Junkie dot com. Hey,
news Junkie, I'm a podcast listener, so I'm a little behind.
I was just listening to the episode where you talked
about American airlines using buses instead of airplanes. I was

(01:00:21):
recently working up in wik Bar Wilkes Bar, Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania,
and would fly back and forth every week with a
connection through Philadelphia. The first time I flew in, we
got on a bus and I thought the bus was
going to take us to our aircraft.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
But no, okay, it says, bus on your reservation.

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
Like I.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
Get, maybe you fly so much that you just don't
look at the stuff, or maybe somebody else booked it
for you. But to just get on there and go, well,
let's go. You can't wait to get to our plane?
I like us, She says, Nope.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
The bus took us on the remaining two and a
half hours of our trip to the Wilkes airport. Did
you I think like halfway through? Like how far away
is this airplane? Now? You dular boardings. At some point
at the Philadelphia Airport, they had five other bus routes
that would leave at the same time to different locations
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. So you got to
be careful if you're flying American Airlines, you might end
up on a bus. Love the show. You guys are awesome, Danielle, Danielle,

(01:01:17):
thank you for the email. Now it's your turn. Email
the show tips tips at thenewsjunkie dot com. When we
return the next episode with Sabrina. What's coming up on
the next episode?

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
What's coming on the next episode? Axel Rose is.

Speaker 6 (01:01:35):
Making headlines for trading the Jungle for a Welcome to
My grown Man?

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Is he fit?

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
Another edition of You only.

Speaker 6 (01:01:42):
Had one job and this job one thousand percent had
access to spell check, autocorrect, and Google.

Speaker 4 (01:01:48):
Yet here we are.

Speaker 6 (01:01:49):
Plus we now know what Amazon paid to own James
Bond and a hint, double O times three not shaking.
I'll find so much more coming up on the next episode.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
And that is coming up next then the News Junkie.

(01:02:19):
One thing I want to talk about very very quickly
before the next episode is this is so cool and
I don't know if anybody who's listening is going to
be able to toy with this just yet. But Amazon
has unveiled these smart glasses that they have for their
delivery drivers now and they are awesome. I mean they
look a little goofy, they look a little goof troop,

(01:02:42):
but they are so awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
Oh my gosh, goof troop is not a term I've
heard in a long.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
Time, they said. Amazon announced on Wednesday, this is tech
Crunch saying this that they're developing AI powered smart glasses
for their delivery drivers. The idea behind the glasses to
give them a hands free experience that reduces the need
to keep looking between their phone, the package and their
delivering and their surroundings. And they show like what it

(01:03:07):
will look like, and it says the address on the
glasses and like ar and it says how many packages
are supposed to go together. And then when you're walking
through the delivery area, it will tell you exactly where
the drop off point is at that house and it
gives like all this really pertinent information that's nice in

(01:03:27):
the glasses for the Amazon drivers. I don't know if
they've got you toy them with this or testing this,
or if it's too early for that. Very very cool,
very cool. And they said it will help you find
the stuff in your delivery car, put it where it's
supposed to be, take a photo of it, and all
that without ever having to take out your phone. That's cool,

(01:03:48):
and chronicle any of this information.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
Is Forgive me if you said this, is it something
that they're meant to drive with?

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
I think they just put it on when they get
to the delivery because that seems annoying for the driver,
like I would be.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
I would think it would be better if it was
something that could enhance the driving experience as well, you know,
without being too distracting, and it could be Yeah, actually.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
That would work too.

Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
Like you know, we had that story about the person
with Apple Vision that got pulled over that was driving
with it, and they're like.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
Yo, but the you know, the.

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
The camera passes through it and like that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
You're right, you're right. But I still don't think that's
a good enough excuse. If you can't shoot a free
throw wearing it, then you can't see well enough to
drive wearing it, all right, And you can't shoot a
free throw not wearing any loser. All right, Here we go,
Let's do the next episode, because there's a lot on TV.
You can't possibly keep up with all of it, even

(01:04:47):
though you should, because what else are you going to
talk about?

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
No, it's cool, it's just a little gunneryad.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
Episode didn't even occur to me.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):

I feel old when I read this, and I'm imagine
you both will as well. Shawn and Sea Lane twenty
one years ago, two thousand and four, twenty one.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
All right, this happened once again. Ashley Simpson.

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
Oh, isn't that nuts?

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
Just wait for it, did the little dance off.

Speaker 14 (01:06:22):
And don't.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
That's right?

Speaker 6 (01:06:26):
She was caught faking it on Saturday Night Live and
then did this weird PoCA shuffle off the stage.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
I said something like, what can I say live TV? Act?

Speaker 6 (01:06:40):
She did say and blamed it on something I will
give seven points acid reflux.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
No, the way.

Speaker 4 (01:06:47):
Blame that is correct?

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Is it really acid reflux?

Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
Which why haven't we been using excuse for the last
twenty one years?

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
I have a bad acid, pretty bad acid reflux.

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
And there there was somebody who was romantically involved with
at the time who kept calling me Ashley Simpson.

Speaker 6 (01:07:08):
What a turn of events considering your wife's name and
her name all comes together. Look at that. And this
man does not seem to change. But a rock legend
is now making headlines after an on stage meltdown that
as I read this out loud, I need to send

(01:07:29):
to you, Okay, oh axl Rose, Axel Rose is right.

Speaker 4 (01:07:35):
It's not you're all gonna die?

Speaker 6 (01:07:37):
Is You're all going to have to dodge stuff I
throw at you if you're the new drummer.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
Oh yes, wait, wait, no more Duff? Or did Duff die?

Speaker 4 (01:07:46):
Duff is no longer with him?

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
Ah?

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
Tbd on death or just quit Axel.

Speaker 6 (01:07:52):
Rose appeared to throw his microphone at the new drummer,
Isaac Carpenter and his drum kit in Atenthina. The six
three year old friend man also kicked the bass drum
and stormed off stage after singing the chorus for the
opening number Welcome to the Jungle.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Oh that was the first song when they started.

Speaker 6 (01:08:11):
Going, and he goes, so I'll just try and wing
this sounds like Ashley Simpson book a Dance. According to TMZ,
Rose was not angry at Carpenter's drumming. Rather, it was
upset with technical issues and allegedly could only hear the
percussion instruments in his earpiece. So why now throw a
projectile at the new drummer?

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
I feel like he's probably gonna curse in this? Is
he not? I don't know? By the way, Duff is
the bassist still with us? I got that one wrong. Okay, Ah,
he's kicking the drums right now, throwing stuff in the drums.
I mean he sounds all right, throw it some of

(01:08:53):
the audience. All Right, I'm gonna he's probably gonna curse.

Speaker 4 (01:08:59):
I just like it song and that big of a
hissy fit.

Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
Just go with it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
What happened to the show must go on.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
I really enjoyed drummer.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Really enjoyed the caption that said, crash out, axle his back.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
And he's going to try to scrub the Internet out
of all of it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
So he's really pissed. It'll get this part right here,
just for those of you watching on YouTube. He goes
backstage and he tries to like slam a door that's
not really a door right here. You'll see him right here.
He's walking off stage. It's like slam like a canvas
door two sheets, like slamming a tent shut, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:09:33):
Real chill out.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
If the problem is he can only hear the drums
in his in his in ear, well then he's he's
running to the side where probably that mixer is yeah,
and what yelling.

Speaker 4 (01:09:44):
At them and whatever else you can get his hands on.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
Problem sounded fine to me. I'll put this up on
see it now as well. I put the Amazon glasses
up there too. Was very surprised at how high he's
hitting those jungle.

Speaker 4 (01:09:55):
Notes, harpenter. The new drummer is was an a woll nation.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
And are they're not around anymore?

Speaker 4 (01:10:05):
You're asking questions.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
I'm sorry you are.

Speaker 6 (01:10:11):
Longtime drummer Frank Furr is not dead. His exit was
described as amicable. So we'll leave it at that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:20):
God damn it if the text don't get this right
next time. Uh, that was really good? And should I
do it again? If you thought that was good, imagine.

Speaker 6 (01:10:36):
Misspelling Michael Keaton's name when you just have one job.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
We used to have a thing for this.

Speaker 4 (01:10:48):
Long job.

Speaker 6 (01:10:50):
So a It was during the Pittsburgh Walk of Fame
plaque ceremony given to Michael Keaton permanently on the point
he was part of the inaugural class. So the first
time around.

Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
It's obviously not Michael. Right. We didn't get that wrong,
did they? Oh? Yeah, absolutely, guyel m I c h
A E L. Yeah. I mean it's kind of easy
for me.

Speaker 4 (01:11:17):
It's my middle name, m I c h E A L.
And then they went m I c h A E L.

Speaker 1 (01:11:25):
No A E L is is the way it's normally spelled.

Speaker 4 (01:11:27):
They switched the A and the e. Okay, Oh so
they did it the wrong way. I have dyslex Yeah,
the executive director said, I'm so sorry that this happened.

Speaker 6 (01:11:36):
He was so gracious when he was here. He was
so expressive about his love for Pittsburgh and the people here.
I can only hope he shows some grace and forgive
me for this full pa or Sabrina would read it pawful,
She says, a new plaque will be created very.

Speaker 4 (01:11:53):
Quickly, and hopefully he spelled correctly.

Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
You're a real real son of a bitch. If they
did twice, tell me about it.

Speaker 6 (01:12:02):
And sometimes if you just do it once, you're left
with a lifetime of it coming back. And of course
I'm talking about s t.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
D's Yeah, a lot of that on the show today.

Speaker 6 (01:12:15):
A reality TV casting director says that STD testing disqualifies
a whole lot of people for making the cut, which
I think we should be grateful for.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
Well, okay, what else people have SDD? Yeah? Do they like,
do they consider something that you might just have for
like a weekend and STD and you can't get on the.

Speaker 4 (01:12:32):
Show or she says, her name is Kristin Moss.

Speaker 6 (01:12:36):
She talked about what it takes to make the cast
if you're living in a house, You're gonna have to
go through a background check, psych test. People are going
to be exploring each other sexually, so there's gonna be
STD tests. You can imagine that knocks out quite a
few people. And next time you're watching your favorite reality
show and you think yourself, I wonder how many diseases
that gross big has.

Speaker 4 (01:12:57):
The answer is zero.

Speaker 6 (01:12:59):
But I am imagining that they're going to cover all
of it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
You have not one person with like a frothy chlamydia case.

Speaker 4 (01:13:07):
First of all, that was might have been the nastiest
thing you've ever said.

Speaker 1 (01:13:13):
Well, I mean, I would imagine that would be the way.
Not one person. It's got to be somebody.

Speaker 6 (01:13:20):
No, I think, even if it's not an STD that
follows you the rest of your life in your dienital areas,
you just can't be on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Is the test they do, the one where on the
Gentlemen Callers where they take the Q tip And now
they don't do that anymore. No, No, praise the Lord.

Speaker 4 (01:13:39):
Wow, Okay, I thought you loved that one.

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
No, Roth, the same who told me that they were
going to give me the Michael Jackson drugs, explain to
me that the STD test has gotten a lot easier.
And when he was an intern he had to swallow
a lot of penises.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Who is this guy?

Speaker 4 (01:13:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
I was a great doctor. Let's get him on the
show I needed. I have questions for this man.

Speaker 6 (01:14:06):
He's the one with the framed Q tips on his well,
nothing to do with frothy STDs whatsoever, but my segue. Nonetheless,
we now have the number when it comes to James Bond.
We found out early this year that Amazon had gained
creative control over the James Bond franchise, and they did

(01:14:28):
that weird thing replacing all the thumbnails that had.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
Guns in them with other non gun James Bond pictures.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
Fingers sometimes take your guns.

Speaker 4 (01:14:38):
Yeah uh.

Speaker 6 (01:14:39):
This was a few years after Amazon spent eight point
five billion on MGM Studios. Now there's some forward momentum
when it comes to the New Bond movie. At last,
Dennis Villa Nevus is behind the wheel. There was also
some talks about what they required for anyone that was
gonna audition to be the new James Bond, which was insane.

(01:15:02):
Was like, you have to have twelve apps without a
doubt and a bridge act. But now a new report
puts a what they're calling surprisingly low price tag on
the creative rights of James Bond.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
Wow, any idea I would think that it would be
really significant. Surprisingly low is very surprising low.

Speaker 6 (01:15:21):
I mean they did spend billions on MGM. Yeah, so
what is James Bond the creative rights costing?

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
I mean, if the creative rights to James Bond aren't
a hundred million dollars, that would be stunning to me.

Speaker 4 (01:15:34):
I think consider yourself stunned.

Speaker 1 (01:15:36):
Okay, all right, twelve million dollars, not that stunned. Okay,
this just means the ability to make the next one?
Is that what it means?

Speaker 6 (01:15:44):
I assume twenty jinks twenty million dollars. Indeed, Deadline is
the source explaining that EO and Eon Productions, the company
controlled by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara bruck Goalie Broccoli.
Is it Broccoli or Brocolyn.

Speaker 1 (01:17:30):
Two Things Real Quick One. Kristen Bell was supposed to
be on another late night show, I think, and she
ditched because post yeah, it's really dumb, and it was like,
oh her husband husband yet yeah kill my wife.

Speaker 4 (01:17:47):
Yeah, he like she quoted him.

Speaker 6 (01:17:50):
But that's also one of like the go to maid
of honor or best man speeches, like statistically speaking, the
husband is yeah, and it's but they lost their minds
and now are getting a whole lot of heat for it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
Oh and you know, you know, the most like stupid
heat for this that I go, you know, it's it's
not up to every one of us to know this
at all times. It's really stupid. They go, this was
so insensitive of her to post during Domestic Violence Awareness month.

Speaker 4 (01:18:22):
Okay, all right, chockful of months.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
I did not know real quick. On the Double oh
seven James Bond Front, one of my favorite stories I
believe that came out in the last week or so
was they were saying Tom Holland was kind of close
to locking in the James Bond roll a double seven,
and somebody goes, Tom Holland, he has way bigger spy

(01:18:46):
kids energy than Double O seven energy.

Speaker 4 (01:18:50):
I was like, he's like a Jimmy b more than
a James Bond.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
It was like I could totally see that. It was like,
you're not quite the James Bond taras. It's great, it's great.
I've heard some interviews with him. It seems like a nice guy,
but uh, probably not James Bam. It's funny. All right,
when we come back, we'll get to you. We've got
a bunch of things. One thing, somebody sending this story
mother of the Day, no real, real, big potential. I

(01:19:18):
think you guys might shoot this down by the decent
potential for Mother of the Year front runner.

Speaker 4 (01:19:23):
Really, you're trying to give out that word real quick.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
We'll see you will see what you think about it.
But this Mother of the Day story is coming up
next in the News Junkie. I want to tell you

(01:19:49):
you can join the show as always, And if you're
somebody who's a little scared, little hesitant, don't worry. Start
with an email. Just put your name in an email
or put anonymous on top of the email to tips
at the News Junkie dot com. As we go into
this territory, brace yourself. It's time for our Mother of
the Day.

Speaker 4 (01:20:05):
Here, Mother of the Day.

Speaker 1 (01:20:08):
Two things come to mind. One is in this particular
police department. They still do the old fashioned thing where
you take the mugshot and they make you hold the
sleep fun in front of you. Because I'm seeing these
two folks. The story for this definite Mother of the Day,
potentially Mother of the Year chat. You can vote and
tell us if you think this has potential. But parents

(01:20:30):
allegedly move out of house without telling their twelve year
old child, Chelane, what kind of move is that? This kid?
This poor kid is a twelve year old boy returned
home from school, so he went to school, He returns home,

(01:20:51):
the house is empty, and his parents moved away without
telling him.

Speaker 6 (01:20:54):
First of all, record for quick as move, Yeah, I
mean the last time I moved, I had to prepare
like three weeks ahead of time and box everything up.

Speaker 4 (01:21:03):
There was no indication.

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Is it Is it possible that the kind of parents
who would move away without telling their twelve year old didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):
Have a lot of stuff? It could be, But when
I moved last, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:21:19):
You left Jackson at the old place.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
When we had sento come in and they did a
bang up job. And we're very quick, I mean, all
in one day. It was It was amazing. Who still
to box everything up? Like for the week or two
leading up to the move, that my house was littered
in boxes.

Speaker 1 (01:21:38):
People are saying, haven't we all fantasized about this? Come
on a twelve year old boy, and I wonder did
they did they make them think this was a home
alone moment like I made my family disappear and.

Speaker 4 (01:21:52):
The seven time he's been left.

Speaker 3 (01:21:53):
So I know my wife is fantasized about this, but
I'm the twelve year old boy.

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
And Copra Cove. In Texas, a twelve year old boy
returned home from school to discover an empty house after
his parents allegedly moved away without telling him. According to
police reports obtained by Fox forty four, police were contacted
by a twelve year old child that said he came
home from school to find his home completely empty. Not

(01:22:19):
only was the child's mother, Erica Rene Sanders, and her
boyfriend nowhere to be found, the house had also been
cleared out. The child said they had discussed moving at
some point, but he was not told it would be
happening anytime soon, and they said the couple had kicked
the twelve year old out of the house multiple times
in the past. My god, I'm trying to see if

(01:22:40):
there's any video reports of this so we can learn
a bit more. This kid, at twelve, had been kicked
out of the house multiple times, and the parents contacted police.
I don't know, there's nothing behind, there's nothing, you know.
I that is really crazy to me, But this is true.

Speaker 4 (01:22:59):
Sure, they arrested the kids, and that's even more messed up.

Speaker 1 (01:23:02):
That would be quite the statement. The child said that
they discussed moving at some point, but he did not
know what was happening. Investigators contacted the mother and her
boyfriend by phone. They said the child was supposed to
be picked up by his uncle. The couple would not
give out the uncle's information when prompted, though, and they
said he had no idea when they finally did reach
an uncle, what the hell they were talking about. The

(01:23:24):
couple then reportedly refused to disclose their new address to
child protective services, and they said that during question questioning,
the boyfriend complained at length about the girlfriend's child. They
both were arrested on charges of abandoning or endangering a child.

Speaker 6 (01:23:44):
I love that they refuse to give the address, as
if they cannot get that information almost immediately.

Speaker 3 (01:23:50):
Yeah, I mean, I know if their renters it might
be a little difficult and challenge accepted.

Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
Oh wow, I don't even know what to say about that.
That's absolutely on him that that would happen. But it
looks to be a true story in this case. So
I wouldn't be surprised if this mother pops back up
for a Mother of the Year at some point in time,
because she put on quite a performance there alongside this boyfriend.
Let us know what you think, send us a dispatch.
Over at the Newsjunkie dot com, people are freaking out.

(01:24:18):
They'll fight over anything these days, they really will. And
they're fighting over some of the work at the at
the White House, the demolition, that's a one. Yeah, they're
fighting about this. I don't know because I haven't done
a tour of the White House. Haven't done a tour
of the White House? No, I haven't. I haven't done
a tour of the White House, So I don't know.

(01:24:39):
Like maybe if you did a tour you go. This
place is a stinker.

Speaker 4 (01:24:43):
Dusty, I imagine it's crusty, like there's a lot of
velvet that has been around for many years.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
I wouldn't be surprised if it needed a little upgrade.
I mean it's had some upgrades over the years. I'll
get to those in a second. But the entire East
wing gone done, smashed out of there. Now it's just
rubble on the ground and they're going to be replacing this.
So some people got upset. Now Trump says that this
is privately funded, which if it's privately funded, it seems

(01:25:12):
fun I think, right, yeah, if there's people who wanted
to fund this, so it doesn't even charge the taxpayers anything,
that's great. As far as I'm concerned.

Speaker 6 (01:25:21):
Why is he putting that money into what will not
be his house in three four years?

Speaker 1 (01:25:30):
He wants to in my estimation, Trump wants to do
things that stick around after he's gone, like Space Force,
Space Force, Gulf of America. Some of these will be
changed back by the next you know, President whoever's in
the White House. But he's gonna build this monument in Washington,
d C. That they've been talking about. I think he

(01:25:52):
wants to do things to build like a legacy, and
then if you do enough things, the next person, no
matter how dedicated, will be hard pressed to reverse every
single one of them. Well, here he was talking about this.
Let's see if there's a reason to find some controversy
in this.

Speaker 15 (01:26:09):
Because he had said it is leader the ballroom, which
just touched over, well, certain areas are certain, certain areas
are being left. We determined that, after really a tremendous
amount of study with some of the best architects in
the world, we determined that really knocking it down, trying
to use a little section, you know, the east wing
was not much. It was not much left from the original.

(01:26:30):
It was over the course of one hundred years. It
was changed, the columns were removed, and it was a
much different building than a story was added on in
nineteen forty eight nineteen forty nine there was a story
editor which was not particularly nice, and the building was very,
very much changed from what it was originally. It was
never thought of as being much It was a very

(01:26:53):
small building.

Speaker 4 (01:26:54):
It's not anymore thrown some shade at the past architecture.

Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
I don't know if these right or wrong. Maybe it's
a dump in there, maybe it's not. He's got the
new plans though, he's got the renderings here, and you
will be zero percent shocked by the fact that it's
covered in gold. There's a lot of gold. There's a
lot of gold involved in this the Blue Room. I
think there'll be nothing like it.

Speaker 15 (01:27:17):
And it's being paid for one hundred percent by me
and some friends of mine donors to it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:23):
The government's paid, if true.

Speaker 15 (01:27:24):
Absolutely nothing. We're also working with the military on it
because they want to make sure everything's perfect, and the
military is very much involved in this.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
They want to make sure another design paper. Oh, it's
a lot of.

Speaker 15 (01:27:38):
Gold in the terrier of the ballroom and it's the
highest level.

Speaker 4 (01:27:43):
You see.

Speaker 15 (01:27:43):
It goes beautifully with the White House. I mean, the
mix is beautiful. So uh so.

Speaker 1 (01:27:48):
It's going to be like two hundred million dollars. But
if he's telling the truth about somebody else paying for it,
that's that stumbs up.

Speaker 6 (01:27:55):
Would have to be one or two very rich donors,
giant lump sum or is it like the folks that
are part of the emailing lists that have to answer
a questionnaire and give twenty five dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:28:08):
I don't know. I don't think he was clear about that.
He did say that some of his money might be
going in. He's like me and some other donors. The
taxpayers are not going to pay anything for this.

Speaker 3 (01:28:16):
Do do the donors get their names on different sections
of the absolutely of the.

Speaker 1 (01:28:25):
I don't know, because you should get a table or something,
or like a tile on the floor or something. Then
it got testy because a reporter was Needle and Adams.
I just want to that question. You're a response to
people who said that you haven't been transplanting and I
haven't been transparent. That's some of your Really I've shown or.

Speaker 15 (01:28:43):
I've shown this to everybody that would listen. Third grade
reporters didn't see it because they didn't look. You're a
third grade reporter, always have been, so third grade reporters
didn't look. But anybody that asked these these pictures have
been in newspapers, They've been all over the place, and
you know, we're very proud of it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
It's gotten great reviews. It's great reviews.

Speaker 4 (01:29:06):
On you trip adviser.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
I can't review it until I actually get to go
in there, and that would require a tour. I would
like to be uh shown this whole place. I want
to see the whole the whole.

Speaker 6 (01:29:18):
Thing unrelated to the robbery at the loof. But there
will be some nude gems in ball from an anonymous
downer for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:29:26):
Possibly yeah uh oh, speaking of that, let me see
do we have time yet? We have time? They do
have the list of donors released. Oh do they Who's

Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
Yeah, look at that. While ah, we got to get
anything from the guy. Trump just pardoned the Binance guy.
I believe. I don't know if he's going to be
tossing anything. I would expect it. If you've been pardoned,
I would expect that you toss a little bit of
money to him. Update.

Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
The Winklevoss Twins are off because they've tried to sue
saying that the ballroom was their idea.

Speaker 1 (01:30:32):

This was the semi truck driver that they said was
drugged out and was cruising along cam video smashed inso

(01:34:28):
to all.

Speaker 16 (01:34:28):
Of these vehicles, plowed into a number of.

Speaker 1 (01:34:31):
Vehicles on the I mean, is it is really something?

Speaker 4 (01:34:35):
I'm gonna go other car, have any survivors?

Speaker 1 (01:34:39):
I think there were some people who are pretty badly
hurt in this. But the semi is going right down
the middle of the interstate and then it appears to
do nothing in an effort to hit the brakes. It
just crashes in to one, two, three, four cars. Fire
breaks out and then it goes off to the side
of the road and smashes into two more cars vehicles

(01:35:01):
on the west.

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
In Ontario just after what pm yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:35:06):
It's unbelievable times the driver of this bill, I mean,
I will I will put this up so you can
see yourself. But it is a pretty stunning accident that
was captured on tape on the dash cam of this
particular semi freaky man that this kind of stuff happens,
but it absolutely does. And the guy wasus What did

(01:35:26):
they say he was on? I forgot what they said.
The guy they said he was on drugs. They believed
he was on drugs. The guy was from This was
in Ontario, California, which I know is a bit confusing,
the man from Uba City. They have not released the
name of the truck driver. Eight vehicles were involved in
the crash. Three people sadly lost their lives, which is

(01:35:48):
you know, quite clear when you see how smashed up
all these vehicles got. But it is a semi truck
out of control.

Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
They have identified the driver as twenty one year old
Indian national Joshan pret Singh, who reportedly entered the US
illegally in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 1 (01:36:10):
No, this is is this not the turnpike guy? You
sure that's this because it's the same exact last name sing.
I mean, that's a very very very common Indian last name.

Speaker 3 (01:36:20):
This is a driver identified arrested for DUI and deadly
chain reaction crash on ten Freeway in Ontario.

Speaker 1 (01:36:27):
Jesus, another illegal driving one of these semi training Come on,
I know before the Indian folks reach out, I understand
that that's like Smith in the in the world of
Indian names. But there you go. That is unbelievable. Check
it out on the news junky dot com slash see
it now. Okay, let's see here. Let's go through a

(01:36:49):
couple of the moments at this New York mayoral debate.
And they said there were some sparks flying here. So
I hope to present that to you. I start with
this clip right here where they were they were told
to ask who would they vote for if it was
a ranked choice election. Let's see what they said.

Speaker 10 (01:37:10):
Anni, there was a rent resolution in this you'd have
to rank these and myself number one and Curtis number two.

Speaker 1 (01:37:17):
Mister oh, please, don't be glad in me. He is,
oh using young people, Lingo, don't be glazing me.

Speaker 4 (01:37:26):
I was shot five times in the head.

Speaker 1 (01:37:28):
Zoran, don't be glazing me. Sillla said Silla, who's tried
to win this this position for the majority of his life.
I think at this point probably doesn't have a great
chance up there. But Mom, Donnie and Cuomo and Silla,
we're just going at it pretty NonStop. Some of the
moments were a bit brutal. Here's Sliwa or Silla taking

(01:37:51):
a shot at Zorn Mamdanni, who's the leader, the guy
who's the Democratic Socialist, who's the leader in most of
the polls. Yeah, I heard the to them again, fighting
like kids in the.

Speaker 14 (01:38:02):
School yard or on your resume could fit on a
cocktail napkin, and your failures could fill a public school
library in New York City.

Speaker 1 (01:38:15):
Okay, Yeah, taking them both out in one shot, saying, Mom, Donnie,
you you're uh, your history could fit on a cocktail
napkin on cocktail a napkin because he's never had a
real job. And then Cuomo, you're like the bad news
about you. Your failures, your failures can fill up a
public library.

Speaker 3 (01:38:36):
Watch a debate like this in the same way, after
reading the notes that Ron DeSantis had when he was
going up for president and he was going to be
debating Ramaswami and he wanted they had all those those
like little kind of quips that he needed to fit
in there, like a lion Ramaswami or something like that

(01:38:58):
mightiging somebody the.

Speaker 1 (01:38:59):
Fake fake, That's what it was. Fake here's another moment.
This was kind of crazy, mister Cuomo.

Speaker 10 (01:39:06):
In twenty twenty one, thirteen different women who worked in
your administration incredibly accused.

Speaker 1 (01:39:12):
You of sexual harassment.

Speaker 10 (01:39:14):
Since then, you have spent more than twenty million dollars
in taxpayer funds to defend yourself, all while describing these
allegations as entirely political. You have even gone so far
as to legally go after these women. One of those women,
Charlotte Bennett, is here in the audience this evening, so

(01:39:36):
he probably.

Speaker 1 (01:39:37):
One of Cuomo's accusers into the venue and was like,
one of them is here today, very yeah, yeah, like here,
we can bring them on out. What do you think?
Let us know, said a dispatch it thenews junkie dot com.
Let's go back to this a little bit and see

(01:39:58):
how this went. After that bomb show.

Speaker 10 (01:40:00):
You sought to access her private gynecological records. She cannot
speak up for herself because you lodged a defamation case
against her. I, however, can speak. What do you say
to the thirteen women that you sexually haarressed?

Speaker 1 (01:40:24):
If you want to be in.

Speaker 17 (01:40:25):
Government, then you have to be serious and mature.

Speaker 1 (01:40:29):
Okay, I'm sure he had a response. After that, I
would hope, but he started out with that one of
the women who was accusing Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment
while they worked in his government was one of the
guests of the other people who are running against him
for this mayoral spot in New York. And here's one
of the last moments I guess that people were talking about.

(01:40:52):
This is supposed to be some fireworks the homeless issue.

Speaker 17 (01:40:57):
Number of homeless since I left has more than doubled
during his administration and the state's administration. Since I left,
homeless rate is more than doubled.

Speaker 1 (01:41:08):
When I left. Vacant see raid on.

Speaker 17 (01:41:10):
House class four point five percent, it's now one percent.
This man never even proposed a jorn on housing or education.

Speaker 1 (01:41:22):
Never even proposed a bill.

Speaker 10 (01:41:25):
Keep going back and forth between the two of you,
mister Slee, wher it's your term.

Speaker 1 (01:41:30):
Andrew, you didn't leave. You fled from being impeached.

Speaker 8 (01:41:33):
By the Democrats in the state legislature.

Speaker 1 (01:41:39):
But there's lots of emotions voting around Curtis sleiwa is
giving me big Frank Sinatra on SNL VIS. Yeah, like
I've got chunks of guys like you.

Speaker 6 (01:41:52):
And my school was when they asked him of you
have like purchased recress for marijuana. Uh, and then the
younger fella, I'm sorry, I'm forgetting a Yeah, yeah, I've
purchased from a legal recreational place. Cuomo was like no,
and then immediately I got shot five times in the face.

Speaker 4 (01:42:11):
I've got Crohn's disease. I've had medical marijuana.

Speaker 1 (01:42:14):
Oh really, but wait, so hold on, let me.

Speaker 4 (01:42:17):
See gives off the Sopranos vibe.

Speaker 1 (01:42:20):
I think this is the moment you're talking about. Let
me just make sure mayoral candidates asked if they ever
purchased marijuana.

Speaker 8 (01:42:26):
For Have you ever purchased anything in a cannabis shop
and if so, what did you buy?

Speaker 1 (01:42:30):
Mister Mumdani, we.

Speaker 10 (01:42:32):
Have I have purchased marijuana at a legal cannabis shop.

Speaker 1 (01:42:37):
Okay, mister.

Speaker 14 (01:42:40):
Mister Slia when I was shot five times, I've got
Colon's disease.

Speaker 1 (01:42:44):
I did use medical marijuana. Yes, Okay, well that's come
a long way. Okay. They used to be like, which
one of you candidates will admit to having used marijuana
in your path? I did it, I tried it, but
I didn't inhale, I didn't switched. I think that those
days are gone. Now people can embrace it a little bit.

(01:43:06):
That's good. I like that. So I'm sure everybody who
watched this probably didn't change their mind at all. They
probably want to vote for the same person that they
went into this wanted to vote for, and not a
great selection of candidates as far as I'm concerned for
New York City. But God bless you, godspeed to you.
We'll see what happens moving forward. Here set a dispatch

(01:43:26):
to thenewsjunkie dot com or an email the tips of
the news junkie dot com like this what here's oh
who says Hey junkies, hope you're doing well. So the
main problem with President Trump about why the White House
changes are problematic is because any significant changes in the
White House need to be reviewed and okayed by other
branches of government as well as historical organizations for American sites. No,
they do not, No, they do not. Not. When it's funded.

(01:43:50):
If it's probably funded, it does not. There is no
need to go and get any approval from anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:43:56):
So the guy read that there was actually I don't
know that that was a funding thing or not. I
think there was an actual loophole for the White House itself.
That gets around some of the different permitting and different
things you would have to do if you were changing
say like the Washington Monument.

Speaker 1 (01:44:18):
Yeah, the White House. The particular group that's in charges, like,
I don't know it off the top of my head.
But the organization that people said didn't approve of this
doesn't actually have any teeth. It doesn't have any teeth
to be able to stop this. So the President was
able to do this with private funding, and I think
that they don't have to go through and get any
sort of congressional or otherwise approval to do it. The

(01:44:38):
other concern is that even if he's paying for it,
it does not change that we have to pay for
changes and upkeep from now on. Says Oh, so, okay,
thank you for that. Your email's coming in as well
to tips tips at thenewsjunkie dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:44:53):
Basically the argument being that if he gets donors to
build a ninety thousand square foot extent expansion to the
White House, then the taxpayers have to pay the power
bill for it.

Speaker 1 (01:45:05):
Yeah. I mean, I don't know that that would be
wildly significant, but yeah, I mean I guess you would.
It's it's a fair point. I was looking at the
construction projects on the White House over the years, and
this one will be one of the bigger ones. Two
hundred million plus privately funded. In twenty ten, they started

(01:45:26):
what they called the White House Big Dig, which was
then the funds were allocated before Obama and then pushed
through during Obama's term. And that was three hundred and
six seventy six million dollars appropriated for that, so even more.
But what was the big dig, it says, A multi
story excavation adjacent to the West wing to replace wiring,
HVAC and utilities is what Chad Gpt says. And before

(01:45:51):
that not much had been done since nineteen seventy when
they converted an indoor swimming pool into the press briefing room.
And then it goes way back. Yeah, you got rid of.

Speaker 3 (01:46:01):
The indoor swimming pool for the press.

Speaker 1 (01:46:05):
Must have been a that must have been a small
swimming pool, because I can tell you that press briefing
room is tiny. I've seen the like package there at
a lap pool or something. Yeah, it must have been tiny.
You could give us your thoughts on it. Set us
a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. When we come back,
we have, of course jury duty in it. A teacher,

(01:46:26):
another teacher out of control in big trouble, an update
on the FBI in this pipe bomber from Washington, DC
way back on January sixth, and even more all coming
up in jury duty that is next in the News Junkie.

(01:46:59):
To be a teacher is not something that everybody out
there is pining to do. A lot of people look
at the little monsters in the classroom and say, I
don't want to go there. I don't want to deal
with it. I don't want to do that. You don't
pay them a ton of money, and they don't really
like the work, some of them. So it's hard to
get teachers that want to be in the classroom. But

(01:47:21):
what this teacher did, well, I just can't support it.
What happened. Let's talk about it right now. Let's do
jury duty. Court is now in session. To put your
phone down and pay attention before we call the bailiff
over to whip your ass. Your no injury duty with
the news Junkie. Also news and I didn't expect this today.
In the pipe bomb suspect in Washington, DC from back

(01:47:44):
in twenty twenty one and a few other things worth mentioning.
Real quick jury duty brought to you by the one
the only mode wit of the de Witt Law Firm.
Injured on the go, just call MO. Here's the phone number.

you out of money all the time. And to do that,

(01:48:27):
Florida substitute teacher is in trouble. And we've all had
our moments with substitute teachers, but I hope you haven't
had one quite like this, because it's it's a tidbit disturbing.
This teacher has been arrested. I'm looking at him here.
If you're watching on YouTube YouTube dot com Slash the
news junkie. This is a particular individual. WESH had a

(01:48:48):
report on this. Maybe they'll talk about some of the details.
I'm looking at here. Listen, is a.

Speaker 9 (01:48:53):
Teacher in Orange County is out on bond accues of
looking at nude photos and touching himself inappropriately class right
like say Danilerta did this earlier this month at Howard
Middle School in downtown Orlandos. She was lauda Monnios's life
from the school with more on the arrest and what
parents are saying today.

Speaker 1 (01:49:10):
Juanna. So they said this guy was a substitute teacher,
he was in the classroom. Students said he was clearly
touching himself and he was middle students. You looking at
nude photos in this Howard Middle School classroom with the
students present, And it gets even weirder. An officer from

(01:49:31):
OPD spoke with each of the students who reported where
Ata to the school. They each described nude images on
his phone, who were at the touching himself inside and
outside of his pants and laughing, quote a witch's laughing.
What did you say of laughing in a witch's laugh? Like,

(01:49:55):
I don't know. That's the best I could do. I
don't think.

Speaker 4 (01:49:59):
Sabrina has no I got everything I need.

Speaker 1 (01:50:03):
I was just trying to channel it is. Uh, yeah,
that's not It wasn't terrible. It wasn't yeah like that,
that's what this guy was doing. Let's see what else
they said.

Speaker 16 (01:50:17):
Yeah, as you can imagine, parents are very upset about this.

Speaker 4 (01:50:20):
They got a message.

Speaker 16 (01:50:21):
Yesterday from the principal letting them know that the teacher
had been arrested and that they would not be returning
to this school or any school within the district. Daniel
Werte Daniel Wood stood before a judge Tuesday after his
arrest on a lude and lascivious charge.

Speaker 1 (01:50:37):
This dude just looks weird and sketch and like sweaty
and greasy androom. Yeah, he's getting you know what's weird?
They said. He was looking on his phone at Instagram
and he was just bikini photos. Yeah, he was looking

(01:50:57):
on his phone at Instagram and or women in bikinis
and close up images in his feet and that's what
had led him to do this. To records show.

Speaker 16 (01:51:06):
On October tenth, Weretha was substitute teaching at Howard Middle
School in downtown Orlando. That report says multiple students. Notice
what that was aroused While sitting at a desk in
a classroom.

Speaker 4 (01:51:19):
Photos one student.

Speaker 16 (01:51:21):
Said they saw were thought, quote, reach his hand inside
his waistband and down inside his pants.

Speaker 4 (01:51:28):
Lasted approximately seven minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:51:30):
Right, there's one more detail.

Speaker 6 (01:51:33):
Seven minutes. I feel like they're giving him the smallest
mound that was ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:51:39):
Well, there's one more detail that you're going to get.
You'll know it when you hear it. You'll know the
final detail.

Speaker 16 (01:51:45):
One grandparent we talked to says the incident made them
feel uneasy.

Speaker 7 (01:51:49):
Sure, I know that these type of people always slipped
through and you don't have really any control over over it.
But I'm glad the school was on top of it,
and I'm glad that it's told because a lot of
time children don't.

Speaker 4 (01:52:03):
Mention what they see and what's going on.

Speaker 16 (01:52:05):
What I thought was employed through Kelly Education, a company
that contracts with Orange County Public schools for substitute teachers.
The district says substitutes must pass the same background check
as full time teachers and staff. On Tuesday, Pere received
this message from the school's principal, saying, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:52:22):
The school principle said, we were made aware of all
this stuffyta. Yeah, I want to see if they talk
about this last detail, you know what. They might not,
but let me just run it. But haven't heard back yet.
Maybe she doesn't want to say it.

Speaker 16 (01:52:35):
Now what that has since bonded out of jail. The
judges ordered he have no contact with anyone under the
age of eighteen.

Speaker 1 (01:52:42):
Yeah. Please, let's keep it that way for a little
while here.

Speaker 4 (01:52:44):
Now done gets to drop the news.

Speaker 1 (01:52:47):
They went to his house and collected evidence. At his home,
the jeans he was wearing the day of the incident
had bodily fluids. Oh, it's just just touching his junk.

Speaker 3 (01:53:03):
And he acknowledged that sometimes he becomes aroused randomly and
said he usually quote sits down and tries to cover
it up end quote Right.

Speaker 1 (01:53:15):
This is the first day being a human and public before. Also,
you weren't really doing much to get rid of this
excitement if you were scrolling through Instagram looking at close
up bikini shots in the classroom and to climax, apparently
very weird, very very weird. All right, I'll save this

(01:53:36):
update about the pipe bomb suspect in DC for when
we come back. And another judge making horrible decisions. We
got that awkward interview where the person was confronted with
their their Reddit post, their Reddit history, a new twist
on that one, and a whole lot more. We haven't
even talked about the bombing of the drug trafficking boats,

(01:53:56):
and that continues. We are loaded up and we'll get
into it all in the final hour of the show
that's coming up next in the News Junkie. Everybody who

(01:54:22):
has their tickets is going to be getting early access
to the venue. I think we're popping open an hour before,
like seven o'clock or so, so you can get in
there and like see the place and enjoy your seats
and get some food and drinks because they got, you know,
great great stuff there. But we don't want it to
be like you go in, you sit down, we do
the roast, and then you just blast out of there.

(01:54:43):
You should be able to enjoy this place because it's
it's that kind of spot. It really is a special
spot Judson's Live where we're going to be doing the
Halloween roast to Sean Watson and you could be there.
Go check it out. Thenews Junkie dot Com slash roast.
A lot of people are starting to get upset about
these attacks on narco terrorist boats.

Speaker 4 (01:55:05):
And the teens on East scooters.

Speaker 1 (01:55:07):
No, this is different attacks. These are they've been happening
for a while now and it amounts to some sort
of like pseudo war with Venezuela and they find these
boats that they believe are involved in drug trafficking and
then they just bomb them. In this case, here's one
of the latest ones. Here. The boat is cruising along.

(01:55:30):
They've released this footage. Okay, the boat is like a
I don't know if I would call it a cigarette boat,
but well it used to be a cigarette boat, some
kind of large boat. It's cruising along and then boom,
they just blasted out the sky. I mean they just
completely nuke the thing. And in one more from the

(01:55:52):
sky Yeah yeah, yeah, they blasted out of the water
from the sky. One or more of these ships had
people on it that survived, and then they just like
deported them back to where they came from. But the
craziest thing is thirty seven people have been killed in
nine strikes so far, and some of Trump's supporters are

(01:56:12):
even upset about this. It seems super super weird to
me because like the punishment for doing this isn't even death?
You're just right, are you?

Speaker 15 (01:56:22):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (01:56:23):
Trafficking drugs? Like drug traffickers are bad, Well, they're bad.
I hate them. But like if the punishment for a
crime isn't even death and you're like, wow, but.

Speaker 3 (01:56:32):
Butt for this to be uh, I don't know, like
not legal, but I guess allowed does? Doesn't there need
to be a declaration of war on drugs or is there?
There's the old war on drugs still kind of you
know active.

Speaker 1 (01:56:49):
I think that they're loosely doing that, but they've said
that the group that they're targeting is a designated terrorist organization,
So it's almost error.

Speaker 3 (01:57:00):
Because didn't they make the cartels, Yeah, terrorist organizations?

Speaker 1 (01:57:04):
That was the loophole there. Yeah, the quote was, just
as al Qaida waged war on our homeland, these cartels
are waging war on our border and our people. There
will be no refuge or forgiveness, only justice. I got
no problem with going after the drug traffickers and the cartels.
I think all that is good news. And I think
sweeping these cartels and drug traffickers once and for all

(01:57:24):
out of Central America and South America would save so
many lives and improve so many lives if we could
do it.

Speaker 6 (01:57:32):
But if you're just sweeping by blowing up their boats
or sweeping them like putting them in jail and taking
away their drugs, no, I let.

Speaker 1 (01:57:39):
Me be as clear as I can. I'm saying, I
think a move to get rid of all of the
narco terrorists, the cartels in Central and South America is
something that would be fantastic and great in every way
and bring about great outcomes for the poor people in
many Central American and South American countries. I think targeting boats,

(01:58:02):
even if I grant you that they all are definitely
full of drugs, doing this, there's too many problems with that.
Well happens if you make a mistake, you're going right
to the final punishment, which is just like blowing up
the boat and killing these people and an executioner. Yeah,
it's like an extra judicial killing, is what it is.
It's literally an extra judicial killing as opposed to I

(01:58:22):
don't see why you can't just go stop that boat
and arrest those people. That's what I would be on
board with. But they have killed now thirty seven people
in nine strikes with idea that this is going to
stop the influx of drugs out of those countries and
into the United States of America, and now it's getting

(01:58:44):
quite a bit of pushback. The ninth narco terrorist vessel
was hit and destroyed at Trump's order. This marks the
second illicit narcotics smuggling vessel strike in the Eastern Pacific.
All three terrorists were killed and no US forces were
harmed in this drig. Whenever this happens, the countries where
these people were from say, oh, it's just a fishing ship,

(01:59:05):
it was whatever. The biggest problem is we just don't know.
I mean, how the hell do I know. I don't
know who these people were.

Speaker 3 (01:59:10):
Sounds like Japan going oh no, no, no, we're not whaling.
Those are research ships, and we promise it says research
ship right on.

Speaker 1 (01:59:17):
Yeah. So that's not enough information. That's not something that's
clear enough to be killing people, at least in my view.
I want to go after those guys. They're bad dudes.
But there's a better way to do it, I think.
Let us know what you think. Send a dispatch over
at thenewsjunkie dot com. All right, some updates, let's move
around these. The NBA with an update about this huge

(01:59:39):
gambling bust coaches, players involved in gambling on NBA games,
including potentially games that they might have thrown, and gambling
on these basketball games with insider information that they got
from other teams, other players, other coaches. That was one
thread of it. The other thread was for crime families

(02:00:03):
and these same NBA players and other athletes involved in
a gambling conspiracy where they completely cheated these people out
of millions of dollars. They used these card counting machines,
they used cameras. The whole thing was a setup. The
only people that didn't know it were the big fish

(02:00:24):
that they were trying to take money from. The NBA
has responded. Here's their statement. The NBA says, we are
in the process of reviewing the federal indictments announced today.
Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups are being placed on immediate
leave from their teams. That's the coach and the player
that were supposed to be involved in these different scams

(02:00:48):
that were going on these criminal enterprises. NBA says will
continue to cooperate with irrelevant authorities. We take these allegations
with the utmost seriousness, and the integrity of our game
remains our top priority. So that's the NBA chiming in
on that.

Speaker 3 (02:01:05):
Somebody earlier chimed in on this, and it was like,
now Lebron sciatica makes sense. Tons of bets for Lebron
and Opening Night and boom he's out.

Speaker 1 (02:01:12):
I go.

Speaker 3 (02:01:12):
I think Lebron sciatica makes sense on on account of
him being forty.

Speaker 1 (02:01:17):
Yeah. Yeah, What the problem is when you find out
that this is going on, it's going to it's just
like politics, one hundred percent politics. It's going to reinforce
the idea in many sports fans that everything is rigged
right correct, So when they think everything is rigged and
they're like, all of the people are rigging it. I

(02:01:37):
would think if you took some of the big dollar
people and put them under the microscope, like Lebron James,
he would probably be much less likely to be caught
up in this. Due, right, you need to look at money.

Speaker 3 (02:01:49):
You need to look at all the all the contracts
and find out the lower salaries and seeah see if
they're the ones who you know, need more bucks. Lebron
doesn't need the money.

Speaker 4 (02:02:00):
He doesn't. And you mentioned a player earlier when we
talked about this, and it was like their ankle was hurt.
And then you saw the footage.

Speaker 6 (02:02:07):
And they rolled the ball to the other team, and
it's like, yeah, that's where we put the spotlight just
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (02:02:13):
That looks a little suspicious. And I'm sure they've got
more information. It'll all come out in the wash here.
But that's something that's getting some attention out there today
as well. And now we go back to the guy
who wasn't having a good day yesterday. This is Graham Plattner,
who is running for Senate in Maine. He's a Democrat
running for Senate in Maine. There's people who are still

(02:02:35):
supporting him. Yesterday I said he had like this school tattoo.
It turns out this tattoo was if it wasn't a
Nazi symbol, it was like a dead on ringer for
a Nazi symbol. And he's made a new video. This
is day two of his controversy. Let's see what he says.

Speaker 2 (02:02:51):
Hey, everyone, Grim platter here, I want to talk to
you about something, Hey, Graham. Two thousand and seven, when
I was a young infantry sergeant in the Marine Corps,
myself and some machine gunners I served in illusion Ramadi
with We're on our third deployment. We were in a
naval vessel and we pulled in for a liberty port
in Split Croatia. We went ashore to do the thing
that young marines do tattoos. Tends to be carousing and

(02:03:13):
sometimes getting tattoos. We wanted to get something that represented
our job. So fighting in fallusion Ramadi as machine gunners,
we went ashore. We found a tattoo parlor. After a
fair amount of heavy carousing, and we found a tattoo.

Speaker 1 (02:03:28):
He's carousing, you know, come on, is he talking about
flirting with women? Is he talking about I don't know
what he means by it, but let me carousing.

Speaker 6 (02:03:41):
Well, it's actively drinking alcohol and enjoying oneself with others
in a noisy, lively way.

Speaker 1 (02:03:48):
So we like partying, partying would be carousing. Okay, So
he's saying after a lot of carousing aka partying, they
went to get the tattoos on the wall.

Speaker 2 (02:03:58):
A piece of flash that looked like a terrifying skull
and crossbot.

Speaker 1 (02:04:02):
I'll stop here because a lot of you are not
going to understand what the hell he just said when
he says a piece of flash. If you are at
a tattoo shop. There are basically two types of tattoos
that they do. One is a consignment tattoo or like
a customized tattoo. You tell them I want an octopus
in a porta potty learning and I wanted to be

(02:04:26):
outside Lollapalooza ninety nine, and they create that tattoo custom
for you. The other is called flash tattoo art. And
when you see people with little tattoos all over the place,
a lot of times that's from like a catalog and
you say, I want this lizard drinking of.

Speaker 4 (02:04:42):
Martini or the mermaid on the forearm.

Speaker 1 (02:04:46):
Yeah, there's gonna be multiple skulls, there's going to be
you know, all the traditional things, the pirates, all of
those things.

Speaker 2 (02:04:53):
We thought it would cool, and so we got it.
I have had this tattoo for the last eighteen years.
I re enlisted into the United States Army with this tattoo,
where I was screamed for hate and gang related tattoos.

Speaker 1 (02:05:08):
I throw the State Department.

Speaker 2 (02:05:09):
As a contractor, where I got a full physical which
included streaming my tattoos. I've gone through life with this thing,
taking my shirt off, having photographs taken, videos taken, I've
been very, very open in my life with the fact
I had a skull and crossbones on my chest.

Speaker 1 (02:05:26):
The problem is, it's like a dead ringer for a
Nazi skull and crossbones. I've seen your.

Speaker 4 (02:05:31):
Standard, you know, pirate flag skull and crossbones.

Speaker 6 (02:05:36):
Yeah, it's the same dude we just talked about earlier
this week with Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:05:40):
Yeah, that's this is the guy. This is the guy
so much.

Speaker 4 (02:05:43):
What else is going to come out about this dude.

Speaker 1 (02:05:45):
He's kind of a wild dude. He got the tattoo
covered up already, though he did.

Speaker 2 (02:05:49):
He is some imagery around dogs because my wife Amy
and I have two wonderful dogs that we love a lot.

Speaker 1 (02:05:55):
This far more represent I love this moment was holding
your shirt up and showing your nipples as a full
You're probably wondering how I got here, you know, record
scratch moment. He covered it up. He's got a new
tattoo that looks like a bunch of dogs fighting each
other that it's actually a pretty good cover up, if
I'm honest with you. The original tattoo, Yeah, hang on,

(02:06:18):
lets see if I can bring this up for you.
Graham Plattner tattoo. I've seen the tattoo that he had,
and then I've seen it compared to some of these
are like too close in. Here is the tattoo that
he had. It's hard to see her. It's like a blob.

(02:06:38):
It looks very blobby. We try to find a better
one for those of you watching. I'll put this up
on see it now for everybody else. But it is
a dead ringer for this sort of skeleton thing that's
like a Nazi tattoo. You can kind of see it here.
It's a skeleton with like bones, you know, skull and
crossbones coming down on the side. Very hard to see.
That's what it is. This is a white version of it.

(02:07:01):
He has a black version of it on his chest, and
it's like this skull and crossbones is supposed to be.
The problem is literally everything is called Nazi in twenty
twenty five, so you know, it may just be that
this is like a war emblem. I've seen it in
a couple of movies where the Nazi characters did have
stuff like this. But the guy says he's got it
covered up so he hopes that his entire campaign can

(02:07:22):
recover from him.

Speaker 3 (02:07:23):
So I've seen it, I'm seeing it somewhere else in Uh,
not on him, but like the actual graphic, which I
wouldn't have known Nazi except for that it's it's flanked
on either side by two SS lightning bolts. Yeah, that'll
do that. That's a little more indicative to me. I
wouldn't have recognized it as a Nazi tattoo if it
were just that skull with the bones coming out of

(02:07:45):
the side.

Speaker 1 (02:07:46):
Yeah, he's got somebody coming after him. Man. Every once
in a while you get like this full court press,
and there was a photo of him without a shirt
order he's yeah, yeah, they're eating each other alive. So
he said, the tattoo is now covered and leave them alone.
We'll see if this is any other problems out there,
let us know what you think. Send a dispatch at
thenewschunkie dot com. All right, what else do we have here? Uh?

(02:08:10):
This was supposed to be a model of what the
White House construction is going to look like, which it
shows how big that section is going to be. If
this is real, this is supposed to be the ballroom area.
I guess.

Speaker 3 (02:08:24):
The lack of symmetry is kind of what annoys me
about this.

Speaker 1 (02:08:30):
It's this is a part of the White House complex
of buildings, and it is a huge ballroom that they're
gonna build. Uh well, I I know that we had
the dispatch yesterday from the name Yeah Yeah, who does
a lot of work in the uhtel Yeah, And and

(02:08:55):
he was telling us that something that would hold that
many people would be absolutely enormous. This is the first
time I've seen what it's supposed to fully look like.
So I'm gonna pop this up on see it now
so everybody can take a peek at this and add
that to the information you have on this particular topic.
It is big as hell. I hang gonna lie is
absolutely massive. Another White House photo. Hold on, I'll do

(02:09:20):
this instead. All right, We'll get this all set up
for you. If you don't know where it is, go
to the news Junkie dot com and hold on remodel plan.
You can see this if you hit the menu, you'll
see see it now and everything visual is bam up
in front of you, just like that. All right, We'll
get into the stories that I've teased and missed, like
the pipe bomb suspect update, and a whole bunch more

(02:09:42):
that's just moments away. It's coming up next in the
news junkie. The idea that we all had in our

(02:10:03):
heads was that you needed some elaborate gang of eleven
people led by mister Oshan to go under lasers and
to get into museums and steal jewels and make your
way back outside in some surreptitious way. And the reality
of the fact of the matter is we've seen now

(02:10:26):
in Paris at the Louver that you just walk in
and take what you want.

Speaker 4 (02:10:29):
It's very easy.

Speaker 6 (02:10:30):
I thought you had to I mean stretch to get
through the lasers and have to grapple some way and
very slowly from the ceiling. But if it's this easy,
I think there's a lot of would have been robbers.

Speaker 4 (02:10:46):
Getting like the hand to palm I.

Speaker 6 (02:10:49):
Mean hand to a face moment where it's like we
could have been doing this whole time, been streaming of it.

Speaker 1 (02:10:55):
Yeah, I think people overestimated how hard it was to
steal the Crown jewels. We thought it really took something.

Speaker 3 (02:11:01):
You got to think that the most popular museum in
the world would have a little bit better security.

Speaker 4 (02:11:10):
So now that we know that they don't, what else
can we do?

Speaker 3 (02:11:13):
I mean, you can take anything you want take. Where's
the Constitution. Is that the Smithsonium?

Speaker 1 (02:11:22):
I told you, yeah, I believe. So hold on, I'll
look at.

Speaker 3 (02:11:26):
The place where the Constitution you're supposedly able to see it.
I heard at one points National Archives, the National Archives building.
I heard at one point that if there was some
sort of trip in, like the security system or something,
that thing like retracts down into the ground into a vault.

Speaker 1 (02:11:51):
Really does Yeah, yeah, I think it does.

Speaker 4 (02:11:53):
And why didn't France's museum not have?

Speaker 1 (02:11:56):
France just goes, no one will steal the museums up.
Let's one more time, friends goes. They will not steal
these things from us. They did, They didn't did. Here's
the footage. It shows them leaving there. They rented a
bucket truck to get to the second floor to rob
the louver of one hundred million dollars in jewelry, and

(02:12:18):
they're just cruising on down there. They go all right
on down to the bottom floor. No cops, no police
at all on this trucklift. They get to the ground.

Speaker 4 (02:12:32):
All you need is that yellow vest.

Speaker 1 (02:12:34):
And then you haul us. They had yellow vests on.
They acted like they belonged. They made their way into
this place, they cruised out and not a cop in sight.
And you know, my favorite moment of this yesterday, I
remember there were some people still trying to say this
was not a security fail you. They were trying to say, like,
this was not that nothing really went wrong. One of

(02:12:56):
the reasons why these folks were able to get away
with this, one of the security cameras in question was
aimed in the wrong direction. They were like, all right,
not a big deal, but here here's what's happening.

Speaker 6 (02:13:09):
In the bucket truck company they rented from. Took cash, no.

Speaker 1 (02:13:14):
Problem, no problem.

Speaker 3 (02:13:15):
Hell, it might have been do you do you pay
for that ahead of time or when you take it back?

Speaker 4 (02:13:21):
I've never I mean, it's on the bucket list for
a bucket truck, but I have not done it yet.

Speaker 1 (02:13:26):
So friggin embarrassing. And the theft was steps away from
the Mona Lisa, which would have been easy to steal.
Just take that little sucker again. Yeah, take that out
of there once more and put it up in some
super rich person's house, sell it for a couple of
mill or something. Somebody will buy it from you, So
there you go. It Just it's crazy to me. I
thought that you would have to be so sophisticated to
pull this off. We learned this week that the French

(02:13:48):
will let you just come in and take what you want. Meanwhile,
we have some final Well, finally, I guess an update
on the person who planted these pipe bombs on January Fife.
This is the day before January sixth, back in twenty
twenty one, when the whole capital stuff goes in the direction
and this person left in a pipe bomb. I think

(02:14:13):
at both sides. I think at the RNC and the DNC,
if I remember.

Speaker 6 (02:14:16):
Correctly, was it the guy that had like a crazy
looking car that he had put all these weird like
Hillary Noble stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:14:26):
That was a pipe bomb guy too?

Speaker 1 (02:14:27):
Wasn't not that there was a different circumstance. I forgot
what that was really to do. This was the guy
who's never been found. He was wearing a hoodie, he
was covered with a mask. They have footage of a
moving here and there, but they have never found this guy.
And they just released this new info today. Let's see
what they said.

Speaker 18 (02:14:45):
Type is approximately five foot seven inches tall five seven
suspect wore a face mask, a gray hooded sweatshirt and
black gloves and I used the backpack to transport each
of the devices. They were wearing distinctive Nike Airmax Speed
turf shoes, which are black and gray.

Speaker 1 (02:15:03):
That's the Nike.

Speaker 18 (02:15:04):
Logan and twenty these shoes were sold August twenty eighteen
and January twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (02:15:12):
Five thousand, yes, less than twenty five thousand pairs of
the shoes.

Speaker 18 (02:15:16):
They know that The first time the suspect is seen
is at approximately seven thirty four PM at the intersection
of First Street and North Carolina Avenue Southeast. The person
walks southwest on North Carolina Avenue, turns north on New
Jersey Avenue.

Speaker 1 (02:15:31):
I they got all this. They're showing him walking all
the ways.

Speaker 18 (02:15:35):
On D Street.

Speaker 13 (02:15:37):
I think he's going to the person because they got
a mask.

Speaker 1 (02:15:42):
On South Capitol Street they got a mask, hand a hoodie,
but did not He took off his mask for the
person in New York City. He made the girl who
was flirting with Yeah, he's talking to the woman behind
the counter, and he pulled down his mask. This guy
I kept his mask on and his hoodie on. I'm

(02:16:02):
assuming by the gate of the walk that it's a man.
I bet it is. I'd put money on it. But
he went to the DNC and the RNC and put
these pipe bombs down in twenty twenty one, and they
never found this person. They never figured out who they were,
and they've just they just keep pushing for it. I
hope they find out where this person went, but now
it's been so long that I don't I don't have

(02:16:23):
real high hopes.

Speaker 4 (02:16:24):
That's a wire biz five hundred thousand dollars enough at.

Speaker 1 (02:16:27):
This point you might have to up that if you're
not getting the calls in and there's there must be
somebody who knows. The problem is the whole time where
everybody was wearing masks and you also could put on
a hoodie and then you would just be aware of
a place that you could go to where they would
lose your trail, and that was a bad thing for

(02:16:48):
a while. That put us at risk. I mean, there
were still some places trying to let people wear masks
for a long time, but I think most of that's
gone now. However, that's what they've got. It's not a
lot of new info, but they think the person was
five to seven and they were wearing those nikes, those
special shoes that less than twenty five thousand people Have's
my special shoes. No arrest just yet for us, No

(02:17:11):
arrest just yet. All right, we'll see what you have
to say. Let us know what you think. You think
they're ever going to catch this person. Send us a
dispatch over at the news Junkie dot com, or email
the show as you can at any point in time
you want to be anonymous. Put that right up on
top and send the email to tips t ips at
the news Junkie dot com. Now we come back.

Speaker 3 (02:17:32):
Since since he did this stuff and planted those things
on the day before January sixth, the pipe bombs, he
does not find himself eligible for this pardon.

Speaker 1 (02:17:45):
Right, Oh, I guess not. No, I mean I don't know.
I don't know the exact wording of that part in
the Real Son of a.

Speaker 3 (02:17:54):
Bitch, if there was like some sort of wording, if
he looked it up and went, I think I think
this includes it's me.

Speaker 1 (02:18:02):
Wait just a second minute. Yeah, all right, well, let
us know what you think about that. We're going to
do this when we come back. We have the final dispatches,
stories that didn't make the cut, and today learn of course,
to wrap everything up for a Thursday, and that is
coming up next on the new Who's Junkie. All right,

(02:18:35):
let's wrap things up here on the show. A couple
of things believe it or not about Netflix. On the
way out, I thought this was crazy, But Netflix has
just announced they've been working on a secret project and
they're dropping the first episode of it. The rest of

(02:18:56):
the episodes will remain secret, and I'll explain to you
why in just a second. No trailer, no trailer. But
they've got the first episode of this. Here's here's what
it is. It's a show called Famous Last Words on Netflix,
and they're going to release the first one doctor Jane Goodall,

(02:19:16):
and they've literally gone around and talked to celebrities that
are about to die.

Speaker 4 (02:19:21):
No way, wait, Jane Goodall knew she was going to die.

Speaker 1 (02:19:25):
Yes, she knew she was in failing health, and she
had done this interview part of the series Famous Last
Words with Netflix, and every future interview in this series
they're not naming. Who they've talked to is with somebody
who is going to be dying soon. Whoa And then
they'll be like, Okay, by the way, here's their Famous

(02:19:45):
Last Words special.

Speaker 4 (02:19:47):
They dropped the episode of Day They Die.

Speaker 1 (02:19:49):
They drop them whenever these people die. It's it's weird.
It's more significant than Sea line. We've talked a lot
about how the news outlets write the obituaries and the
TV stations, how oh bits ready before the celebrities die,
and they just.

Speaker 3 (02:20:02):
Kind of plug and play like, you know, died surrounded
by family of this, you know, stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (02:20:08):
Yeah, it says how Jane Goodall's death initiated Netflix's newest show.
My friend's already seen it. He says, it's really good.
Really Famous Last Words is what it's called. More episodes
are in Netflix's vault. Their subjects are unknown for now,
this says, and it says. When the news of the
death of the revered conservationist Jane Goodall arrived on Wednesday,

(02:20:30):
a handful of Netflix employees knew they faced a very
few long work days. Those people had to have forty
eight hours to put in the finishing touches on a
new show that was already years in the making. On Friday,
without much fanfare, Netflix released the first episode of the
show Famous Last Words, a series of late life interviews
with famous people whose contents, including their subjects identities, are

(02:20:54):
kept closely guarded until after the subject dies.

Speaker 4 (02:20:57):
Man that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (02:20:58):
I know this might not be the right word, but
that is cool.

Speaker 6 (02:21:02):
It's it's really the one employee that does not break
or leak anything.

Speaker 4 (02:21:07):
No, very fascinating.

Speaker 1 (02:21:10):
I mean I would be very interested to know who
are the other people, but obviously who if they talked
to these other people.

Speaker 3 (02:21:18):
The other thing that's interesting to me is it says, uh,
the employees whoever is involved in making this have to
they get the news that this person has passed, and
they have forty eight hours to finish this. Yeah, I'm
curious at how complete it is, like what percent completion
they have before that and the forty eight hours, and

(02:21:40):
if there's only a limited number of people, because this
is so hush hush, like what if you just went
on vacation, do you just always have to have your
laptop on you ready to ready to stop or editing?

Speaker 4 (02:21:52):
How do you approach the subject like, hey can but
notice you were diagnosed? Yeah right, yeah, I want to
do a quick interview with the show that's going to
come out after you're dead.

Speaker 1 (02:22:03):
I mean, I imagine they do with the same thing that
these news outlets do when they say who is getting
up there in age, who maybe is looking a little
bit frail, who is is not long for the world.

Speaker 3 (02:22:13):
It was hanging out by the drain earlier and couldn't help.
But notice you were circling it exactly. She was ninety one.

Speaker 1 (02:22:20):
Goodall was Jane Goodall, and she recorded this interview a
couple of months ago with Netflix. She's just won. There's
I think seven more or something. Famous. Last Words was
adapted from the beloved Danish TV show The Last Word,
which debuted in twenty twenty. Hold Flix license the format
for use outside of Scandinavia.

Speaker 3 (02:22:40):
All right, here's what my friend John says. You guys
have met John before.

Speaker 4 (02:22:45):
He wishes to remain in honor the.

Speaker 3 (02:22:47):
Jane Goodall one is amazing. You gotta watch it. She
don't give an f and she's drinking whiskey. She cusses
during it.

Speaker 1 (02:22:54):
Yeah, oh, I love that even more if they just
wile out in this.

Speaker 3 (02:22:58):
Interview and then I guess, I guess this is kind
of an answer to what I just said. No one
can hear what said. And then the raw footage is
edited after the death. So that's the forty eight hours
is taking the footage they took and turning it into
an episode.

Speaker 1 (02:23:16):
Nothing. They don't even know. They don't even know what
it is. Somebody's gone, why it, says the executive producer
of Famous Last Words. This is this new Netflix series
Jane Goodall, was the first one that they recorded. They
recorded other ones. They know these people are about to die,
and then they dropped them after they die. The executive producer,
who also performs the interviews, first spoke about the series

(02:23:37):
to The New York Times in June. By that time,
he'd already been working on the show for more than
two years, he said, and Netflix had four episodes ready
to release another four we're in the works. They will
not discuss the subjects of those pending episodes.

Speaker 3 (02:23:49):
That, man, you know, that's so crazy because you're working
so hard on something and you can't I can't wait
for you to well no, he's like, I got right,
I got this thing, and I can't wait for you
to see it. So part of you is kind of
like maybe not maybe not hoping, but like you're almost

(02:24:09):
waiting for somebody to die so you can go Here's
this thing I've been working on. Here's this thing that
I've been involved with, this work that I've been almost
excited to share with the viewing public.

Speaker 1 (02:24:22):
But it's almost like being in a death pool, you know,
where you're like it is. We know people who weren't
involved in this for sure, Like we know obviously if
they're releasing this, it's not Ozzy Osbourne or Betty White
or other people that people are mentioning in chat. It's
people that haven't died yet. They've done the interview. They're
waiting for them to ready to go. Yeah know that

(02:24:44):
they had four ready to go when they did this
interview back in March or something. They have more now,
they believe weird. It started from a Danish version of this,
and it's a way to like celebrate people after they die.
Famous last words. Very interesting.

Speaker 3 (02:25:00):
I wonder if if this catches on, it gets popular,
will they be contacted by somebody who's like in the
Norm MacDonald camp, you know, one of the people who
told nobody except maybe his closest you know, but there
are a bunch of like comedians that were good friends

(02:25:21):
of his that did not know that he had cancer.

Speaker 1 (02:25:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:25:24):
I wonder if there will be anybody in that boat.
The same thing with Gene Wilder.

Speaker 4 (02:25:29):
No, I bet they got whoo.

Speaker 1 (02:25:32):
Oh, that's not a bad.

Speaker 4 (02:25:38):
His treatment goes well and he gets to live many
more years.

Speaker 1 (02:25:41):
But yeah, that's not a bad guess. It makes you
think about everything in a really different way. But yes,
definitely interesting. All right, well, we'll keep an eye on that,
keep that in mind as we move forward here. Also
on the Netflix front Stranger Things, an update on that.
They have confirmed now that the final episode of Stranger

(02:26:03):
Things will debut in theaters on December thirty first, and
here's what they've gone with. The screenings will take place
in over three hundred and fifty theaters in the US
and Canada, and they will be time to start at
exactly five pm Pacific time when the episode is released
on Netflix, so it'll be simultaneously interesting.

Speaker 4 (02:26:25):
Super fans will go to.

Speaker 1 (02:26:26):
The theatre, yeah, but most people will probably just watch
it at home with everybody else. All right, that'll that'll
do it. I don't think we do. We have time
for a dispatch, maybe one dispatches, but Sean will probably
only play let's go get in here at the end.
We can squeeze in at least one dispatch and let

(02:26:48):
me refresh to get the latest and greatest. Here's here's grounds, guys.

Speaker 19 (02:27:00):
I agree with you about your take on the Narco
boats that if the crime isn't punishable by death here
shouldn't be out there also, especially without any real proof being.

Speaker 1 (02:27:10):
Shown to the American people.

Speaker 19 (02:27:11):
Yeah, just because you designated something in a terrorist organization.
But at the same time, he did designate a Antifa
as a terrorist organization. So I would like to know
when he's going to blow up Mary Jane's minivan that
keeps parking in the new parking area downstreet.

Speaker 1 (02:27:28):
You cannot request drone shots or gathering the duggalows beware. Yeah,
you can't just call in strikes on this. Yeah. My
whole point on that that front is like, this is
not this is extra judicial. It's outside of the judicial system.
And because it's war extra judicial, Well, the difference there

(02:27:55):
is if we have declared war on an enemy and
we're going against their troops, I don't expect you to
make a case for every single one of them you're
droning out of existence or for isis in those things.
But I just think it's very different when we have
a boat on the water and you're like, well just
trust us, we want hundred thousand percent. No, this is
an ARCO boat. Hit the button blow it up like
that's not enough. It shouldn't be enough. You need to

(02:28:17):
have more information.

Speaker 3 (02:28:19):
Much like your stance on the death penalty, where if
there's any chance of a mistake, yeah, then you know,
it's really hard to get behind.

Speaker 1 (02:28:29):
And they've said that a bunch of these were mistakes
and they were just fishermen, and I only believe a
certain portion of that, But I don't think it should
be left up to those sorts of questions. And you know,
that's very different from what a lot of people are doing.
Like I see people over and over, I'm trying to
smack you on the head when you're doing it. Who
will go? Well? Trump said he's doing these donations and
then that's all we're gonna pay this all. But how

(02:28:51):
do we actually It's like you're creating a thing when
there is nothing right. So far, we have people that
have come out as being folks who are donating to
this White House rebuilt and there's nothing there to see.
If you find something down the road, then you might
have something to point out for this. It's right there.
You can see that they're blowing up these boats and
we are not seeing any evidence before end. It's not

(02:29:11):
being presented to the American people. Wow, this is why
this is happening. You use the word not seeing. All right,
let's get out of here, let's do today.

Speaker 8 (02:29:22):
I learned The following information may make you feel smarter,
but will not actually increase your IQ stories.

Speaker 1 (02:29:27):
Maybe don't get cocky, it's done. What we call today
ain't no pencil like a What kind of pencil was
in number two? A muskgrave a musk Grave pencil seas
famous Muskrave pencil ad back in the day for those
of you knew to the show, Oh you get the
game wasn't even a yeah it was It was an

(02:29:47):
audition brutal. Today learn for a Thursday, October twenty third,
twenty twenty five, Today learned this guy right here scatman
John the guy bine Sky. It was a lifelong stutterer
and he turned it into his greatest strength, using scat
singing as a way to stutter freely. They got to

(02:30:08):
rename that and finally Taylor this band Right Here Nation,
The elation comes back around for us Here. Sale by
a Wall Nation is the only song to reach a
new peak after spending more than a year on Billboard's
Hot one hundred charts. It keeps generating sales because they
feature it in viral videos of wingsuits and cats and

(02:30:31):
BMW commercials and Vikings commercials and CW TV commercials and
all the rest. Thank you so much for hanging out
