Speaker 1 (00:00):
House. Everybody doing on a Monday. Pretty good?

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yeah, pretty good.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
It's hat Day's hat.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Three dudes with hats, uh huh yeah, nothing big going
on here.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
There's three guys with hat. Yours is not as cool.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
No, I don't have one of those.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
I wasn't delivered when by Santa Jack at the radio station,
just to you.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
I was just really pleasantly surprised that not only does
this hat fit my head, it's a little loose purpose.
I was floored.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
It's like how magnum condoms aren't really as big as
you would think they were. You know, it's one of
those things where the hats come a little larger, so
you go, WHOA.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
All right, well you're right, I want my skull to
be gigantic.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Well no, you want your hat to be a little
bit looser so you don't feel like your skull is gigantic.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I'm gonna throw this in the in the dry iron man.
Just have a little like a little ease to it.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
It doesn't need to be suffocating your skull over there.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
It looks nice. You both look great, and you're like
radio hats there to radio, and.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
I can see I can see the confidence on a Monday,
I can see the swagger a little bit. Yes, God,
I almost called off today at the last minute and
just said no, not gonna do it because something's.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Been going on.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Sea Lane diagnosed me already, So I think I'm good.
That seems like fairly legit. But I keep having this
thing where I get all dizzy, specifically when I go
to lay down, Like if I'm trying to lay down
at night and I put my head upside down, it's
like move like, I get all Disney.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Don't put your head upside down. That's one thing I've tried.
I have that, and then in the middle of the
night the rest would do that to you, like you're like, oh,
it hurts when I do this. Do the Have you
tried not being depressed dummy?

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Like yeah, no, genius, didn't even think about that in
the middle of the night.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I don't don't do the song in the middle.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Of the night.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
When I wake up, if I have to go to
the bathroom, I'm it's like, uh, it's like I'm on.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
A ride or something. I'm trying to maneuver my way
somebody on a boat.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yes, bingo exactly. I think it might be the ear
crystals thing. I don't know. I don't know a little bit.
I think, yeah, it's a little wonky, but you know,
I decided to toughen up and do the show. We
only got five shows left and in five, so let's
see what we can bring to them. All right, Let's
put our ears the ground, our fingers on the pulseles.
See what's happened to this great, big, wide world of ours.

(02:22):
Get ready to cringe.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Because these I love these, I love how bad these
are police officers trying to act cool on social media
sort of a I don't know if it's a newer thing,
but it's a thing.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Are we doing cool or funny? We're doing cool. He's
trying to act cool. This is when a trooper with
twenty seven years on the grind starts speaking fluent gen
z about winter storms.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
You know it's about to get unhinged.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
And that's what they posted on the North Dakota Highway
Patrol page.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Let's see how he does here, hold on troop of
pulver here.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
Oh god, I've been doing this for twenty seven years,
and let me tell you, I'm shook. This winter has
been aggressively non to mirror. She's given main character energy
and not in a good way.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
God Almighty, let's run the receipts.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
Number one. Turn your lights on not auto? Auto is
a scam?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
All right? Let me stop there.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
This is a this is a distraction here, But is
auto a scam on your life?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Turn your lights are not auto? Auto is a scam?
My lights are always on auto? Yeah, mine around auto too.
Here's the thing. Calling it a scam seems slightly inaccurate
if you're trying to convey that auto doesn't always work,
like maybe in certain rain situations where your auto is
only focusing on how bright it is outside. Yeah, and

(03:47):
so like you know those weird thunderstorms where it's raining
but it's bright out and there's rainbows everywhere, but your
lights don't turn on automatically.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I want to call it fake though.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
That would just yeah, that would be auto not working
the way that you would intend for it.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
But it's not a scam.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's not like there's some people that the industry that
created auto.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
You know, you'll never know.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
It's like, okay, good one, he going over on us. Anyhow.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
That's a little side quest there on the gen Z
cringe thing.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
Clear your whole whip I'm talking windows, mirrors, roof.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
All of it.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
Roof, stop rolling out with that little I tried people
like you're playing peek a boo with traffic and then
your roof snow launches onto my shield.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Actually do cringe. I don't know, maybe like the guy.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
It's snowing so bad there in North Dakota, these poor people.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
He showed a picture of a car that where it
looks to be that somebody only cleared the snow for
the driver's part, leaving the rest of the windshield obscured
what looked to be like eight inches of snow. At
least I can see myself being, if I had to
work early in the morning, be a little lazy at
just making like a little horn.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Hole, just gonna stop.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
You stop at the first stop light, and all of
the snow just shifts off of your car, out of
the car that's in front of you at the stop light.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
I could see him getting mad.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
That you don't clear your whole whip or whatever the
hell he tried to say.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Slow down.

Speaker 6 (05:20):
These speed limits were made for sunny days when the
roads aren't ice like a grocery store sheet cake. You
hit black ice at six seven, you're one yee away
from yeating into the ditch.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Okay, I got bomb done. Yeah, I mean I think
I've lost this safety message at the center. Oh No,
for the first half of that video, I didn't actually
know what the message was about because I was so
distracted by him trying to shoot horn in every gen
Z thing he had.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
On a list somewhere.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, and until he got to the eat yourself into
the six seven.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
They have one more like arsmad officer that can be
doing this. They picked like the dullest guy on the four.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
That's the point, totally six six seven, the pekaboo.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Worse than a grocery store seat cake.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
He's a little slow, this cop, but he was giving
it his best. He was trying all he could. And
there he is trying to deploy gen Z slang. Kids,
what do you think? Hit us up with your thoughts.

thenewsjunkie dot com right now. But the big story that
has everybody kind of just trying to deal with a
whiplash this morning is all.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Of a sudden.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Seilian started texting last night and a thread with Josh
and I is like, you see this story about Rob
Reiner found dead at his house, and I thought, oh
my god, Rob Reiner. Okay, I mean I remember Rob
Reiner from all all sorts. Yeah, he was big time
in the movie industry, very famous guy.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Somebody posted like a screenshot of his Wikipedia page and
it was his like filmography as a director. Yeah, and
his first couple films were just like straight banger after banger.
Oh yeah, First, let me pull it up so I'm
accurate on this because I know he did the Spinal Tap,

(08:39):
which was so filmed first movie director and writer, This
is spinal Tap. Then he directed The Shirt Thing, then
stand By Me, then The Princess Ride, then When Harry
met Sally, then Misery, then a Few Good Men, the North,
then The American President.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
I mean, damn, that's a run right there. That's a
lot of really really big movies. And Rob Reiner and
his wife Michelle Reiner were found dead at their home
in California, and just as of moments ago, we have
learned that their son, Nick has been arrested and he

(09:14):
is being held on four million dollars bail right now.
So Robin Michelle Ryder's son, Nick has been arrested, being.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Held on four million dollars bail.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
And I guess he has some history with drug addiction,
almost homelessness, like he's had some issues in the past,
the son of this Rob Reiner guy. And I, you know,
I don't know what led to any of this, but
they said there was some sort of fight and they
may have had their throat slit, which is just unbelievable

(09:45):
to consider. I've got some of the press conference day through,
and I think in this case they didn't even have
anybody in custody.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
So let's see what they said.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Remember being interviewed in connection to these DUTs, Can you
confirm that and is that family member being collowber.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
There are going to be many family members interviewed. I'm
not going to confirm whether someone's being interviewed at this
time or not. We're going to try to speak to
every family member that we can to get to the
facts of this investigation. I'm sorry, See, why are you
not exactly looking for a suspect?

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Are you confident you know who did this?

Speaker 8 (10:23):
We have not identified a suspect at this time.

Speaker 9 (10:25):
Well, then shouldn't you be looking for one so these
neighbors aren't worried about their own lives and their own safety.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Well, we'll slow down there, pal all right, He's like,
shouldn't you be looking for what? Yes? Yes, yes, yes, yes,
Well I guess they were.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
I guess it was.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Plainly obvious when you went into this place what was
going on there that the son of Rob Reiner and
his wife ended up attacking them, And we don't know
exactly why. We don't know what was happening there. I know,
I think his assistant this is so weird. This is
how weird Hollywood is. His assistant showed up at the

(10:59):
house and learned with everybody else that Rob Reiner had
been killed. Like, you know, your boss when you're an
assistant for him, is no longer alive and he's in
the driveway and they're filming a parent.

Speaker 10 (11:15):
How did you find.

Speaker 11 (11:15):
Out about this like everybody else did you did you
hear it on the news or.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Is it the assistant assistance or help with anything where
the house, access to anything you had. Also, Larry David
showed up at the scene, and they said, I loved
the stories that were like Larry David showed up at
the scene and appeared as if he had been crying.
Well you think so, I mean, I guess they were
close friends and the guy was brutally murdered that he knew. Yeah,

(11:47):
I mean that'll that'll eke a couple of tears out
of you probably. And who is the other person, Oh,
Billy Crystal, Billy Crystal. They said they almost have lived
pretty close together there, and showed up at.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Rob Reiner's house.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
The story says Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle, where
the two people found dead Sunday at a Los Angeles
home owned by Reiner.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
According to law enforcement.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
You think neighborhoods like that, they're just full of celebrities.
Have one of those garage sale days, They've got to
be a pretty interesting table right there.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'd go for one of those. I'd go I'd check
that out.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Investigators believe they suffered stab wounds and a family member
is being questioned now. Of course, the sun has been
held on this. The Los Angeles fire departments that have
responded to a medical aid request shortly after three thirty
PM found a seventy eight year old man and a
sixty eight year old woman dead inside. So that was
at three thirty or so in the afternoon, and Rob

(12:39):
Reiner and his wife were dead inside the house, and
all the rest of it they're trying to figure out
right now.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Now I believe there.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Was some sort of heated argument though.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Well, yeah, now that there's little little things like trickling out.
A TMC's reporting that some people said Rob Reiner and
his wife Michelle, and their son Nick attended Conan O'Brien's
Chrismas party Saturday night, and at the party they got
into a very loud argument, loud enough for many others
to hear. Source till TMZ were told Robin Michelle then

(13:08):
left the party. They don't know if Nick left at
the same time.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Oh, that's so weird.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
That's like imagine Conan O'Brien's like weird connection now to that.
So Conan O'Brien's having a Christmas party all the celebrities
over there. Rob Reiner and his wife are getting into
it with the sun and then next day you have
them found stabbed to death at their house. And you
could kind of connect the dots here if you want to.
But you know, there's a lot of information coming out

(13:33):
on this. We'll let you know all the updates. TMZ
is saying, throat slit. Yeah, that's brutal, man, just absolutely brutal.
A lot of brutal things happening this weekend. Will work
through everything that you missed obviously and get into some.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Fun twists and turns along the way. As per usual.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Over at the box office, Josh's favorite movie on planet
earths Utopia too.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Did it again? Baby?

Speaker 4 (13:56):
He's seen it sixteen times, Ladies and gentlemen, I love hops.
He has been so many times to see this. He
now has memorized a quarter of the dialogue or more.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
I'm just going to that the thing that Josh said
is related to Zutopia because I know nothing about it.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
You got a little kid man, kids loves Utopia. And
plus you got Jason Bateman. He's the voice of the Fox,
and he's a great Fox voice as far as I
can tell.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
And he's good.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Five Nights at Freddy's Two was number two with the Box.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I was that part where they I made a huge mistake.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, you might say that at some point in time
in that movie.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
I don't know. It's a good one.

Speaker 12 (14:35):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Tips at the news junker dot com A couple of
emails rolling in. Let's see what we have here, jaw
saying good morning, news junkies, good morning, good afternoon whatever.
Longtime fan and sporadic listener. Well, how much of a
fan are you if you're a sporadic listener?

Speaker 1 (14:51):
The New Year's Eve is coming up. Resolutions are going
to be a thing soon. Maybe we upgrade the sporadic Yeah,
let's make that a little less attic if we can. Oh.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
I work overseas a lot and travel back and forth.

Speaker 13 (15:04):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
I get it good.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
I don't know what happened, But you still have a
news junkie app. Also, where can I listen to recorded
previous shows? A tried checking your website and cannot find
info on either. You went to the website and you
couldn't find this thenewsjunkie dot com. When you go there,
you will see all the latest videos of the stream
and secret shows and stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
You'll see the roast of.

Speaker 4 (15:26):

Speaker 2 (15:34):

Speaker 4 (15:36):
I mean, it still works for some people who send
dispatches in, but mostly just consider it RIP. The website
is the place to go. Get everything done over there
at the news Junkie dot Com JW. Thank you for that. Okay,
we'll hide some of these other emails. Get it to
them in a bit. There was a shooting at Brown University,
and the most insane thing is they announced the suspect.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
They're like, we got somebody in custody. Ladies and gentlemen,
we got them. They said they had.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Somebody in custody.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
They released his name and his birthday and all the
information about him. And then today they're like, by the way,
we let that guy go. And I was like, goose
chase there, there's nobody in custody.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
I mean, think about that for a second.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Somebody went into a big prestigious university in the United
States of America, Brown University, with a gun, a handgun
in this case, started blasting a whole bunch of people,
killed many people, and simply sauntered off.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
This is the second time something like that's happened since
the Charlie Kirk situation. Very strange, but the person got away.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
There's still not in custody at the moment. We'll talk
about everything that happened with this and everything you need
to know. We got Amy Kawfeld on the way. We
are loaded up on a Monday here on the show.
That's all coming up next in the News Junkie. We

(17:09):
got Amy k coming at the top of the hour,
I think to join us.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
We'll talk about all sorts of things going on in
the last Amy kay of the year. Oh it's true.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Well that is true. We'll have to make the most
of it. We really will have to make the most
of it. And I want to get our thoughts on
a lot of things. One thing that's getting a lot
of attention today is there's a bunch of crazy incidents
over the weekend, and one was at Brown University. There
was a tragic shooting on the Brown University campus and

(17:39):
there was two students who have died, nine who are injured,
and they're not even sure if all those nine are
going to pull through, but you two students have died,
nine were injured in this attack. And all they released
was and this leads me to my first question from
Brown University released was this really weird security footage from

(18:05):
Brown University of the shooter allegedly like shuffling away. Let
me see if I can find the actual video of this.
It was a shooter like shuffling away. You could not
see anything, And I go, this is a university, right,
this is like a busy ass place. There gotta be
cameras absolutely everywhere, wouldn't you think. And this is what

(18:26):
they said, Can you just watch this video and tell
us if you've seen this person?

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Oh yeah, sure, yes, Steve, yeah yeah. I can't tell
you if it's a man or a woman. It's probably
a man.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
I gotta tell you if it's a white guy or
a black guy. The person is so covered up you
can't see anything. And they just saunter away. And by
the way, instead of like downloading the actual video to
make it even worse, they just use a camera to
take a picture of the security footage. That's what they
released here. They were like, yeah, here it is on
their security system. This is the person we think meandering

(19:04):
away and I'm like, this.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Is a college canvas. No, how there must be cameras
everywhere right like, and there must be cameras all over
the place, and this is the best that we have.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
It's such an illusion.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
It's such an illusion, the level of security that we
think we have versus what we actually have. And I'll
tell you here locally security theater, it is. It is
Sea Lean, It absolutely is here locally. One of the
questions of cops don't like you asking is in downtown Orlando,
how many of the public security cameras actually work? Which

(19:38):
I was told. I don't know if this remains to
be true, but I was told at one point in time,
only like fifty percent or fewer of the security cameras
in the center of downtown meant to keep you safe
and capture anything the fery is going on.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Actually work well. The rest of them are broken. I
remember that being the case, or hearing a story about
that around like the Lake Iola area, like the Big
Park and those cameras having some trouble. But for a
while there was like a pilot program that they were
talking about doing, and people were pissed.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
They're like, no, don't do this.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
They Amazon wanted to come like test their technology, and
they needed a city like a you know, like a
like a testing ground for this facial recognition stuff to
sort of track people from camera to camera, so if
there was something that went down, the computer automatically would find, well,

(20:36):
this person was on this camera before and this camera
before this, without you know, having the manpower of going
through all the all the footage and trying to find
each little place that the person was. And I think
most people just assume that's what's happening. All people heard
was facial recognition, and they say absolutely not.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yeah, afterwards they'll all complain, like I am where they'll go,
Is this the best we have? We don't have any
information on the suspect. How can we let them just
slink away into the day And yeah, I mean, but
they've they've gotta It's gotta be better. I mean, it's
got to be better than this. It can't really be
that this is all all we have. How could it
be that you can do things like I mean, even

(21:16):
the Charlie Kirk think is crazy that the guy Tyler
Robinson or whatever showed up in an event, fires off
a shot, kills Charlie Kirk assassinates him in public in
front of like hundreds of people, and then leaves and
then jumps off the roof and like leaves into the woods.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
And they're like, like.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
A whole week or something goes by before they catch
this guy. This guy went into a shoot grandpa's rifle,
like the thing I'm watching. By the way, people in
chat stop saying, this guy walks like me, I that's yeah,
it's just a guy walking, Okay.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
This guy is just walking along. There's no cops anywhere
in sight. There's nothing, there's no nobody, nobody around him,
nobody cuffing him, nobody running up, no blue lights.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
It's not a damn thing like that. And he just
got away. How can that happen?

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Public?

Speaker 4 (22:06):
Their help is being sought and trying to find who
this person is, and how do they make the mistake
of doing this whole ass press conference where they named
a shooter. They told us all about the shooter's background,
and they're like, ooh.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Let's see, that wasn't the right guy.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
We made a little mistake of roney are bad? That
all seems really really messy to me. I mean, the
whole thing has kind of been wild. There was even
another moment. Let's see that I keep this, Yeah, I
think I did. This is the president of Brown University,
and the press was asking her questions about the shooting
that had happened at her university, a mass shooting, almost

(22:47):
double digit people injured, two people dead at the very least,
and this woman knew like nothing, she knew nothing about
what was going on.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Let's see me right.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Back, and I'm catching up right now, President.

Speaker 13 (22:57):
With all her respect, six hours after.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
This shooting, and you said, you don't know what was
going on in that classroom? How does that happen?

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Were they taking an exam?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Were they for a club? I don't know, I don't know.
Six hours later and you're the president and you don't know,
I do not know? Well that's kind of yeah. It's
like anybody else concerned by this? What's going Why is
it so easy to get away with this?

Speaker 13 (23:22):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Good for asking that the press are feisty today.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
First it was over in California with the Rob Reiner stuff,
where they were saying like, well, if you don't have
a suspect, should you be looking for him? And then this
guy talking to the president of Brown and going president.
How do you not know six hours later what was
going on in the classroom. You can't even tell us
if they were taking an exam.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
The only thing I could take away from this it's
kind of good is I do appreciate in some weird
way that she didn't just lie, because everybody just lies,
and she could have been like that. We we were
aware of some of the activities happening on campus that
point in time. We don't want to say publicly just
yet until we talk with law enforcement about exactly what

(24:06):
was happening in that classroom. Well, you know, I'm sure
to share that with the press very soon.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
You know what to say when the answer is, I
don't know. This is part of an ongoing investigation that
we're not allowed to comment on exactly.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, it's like personnel matters. The excuse of, oh, we
can't speak publicly about personnel matters got me in the
trap once again. It's all very weird, very sloppy. It's
all it's kind of interesting to see a play out.
But you know, we're going to watch this. Who we
need to be glued to right now is the blaze
yecause they're gonna have their computer experts, you know, match

(24:39):
the gate of that. You know, the the chat said
they walk it was walking like you. I don't think
that's the case.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
I think you made it. You know up, you know,
you know at the Blaze, you don't have any balls
over at the Blaze unless you name the same person
as a suspect.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
All right, it's a match. It's Shawnee Kirkoff.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Ah.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
We weren't positive last time, but for for realsies, this time,
I think this is very very accurate. We'll we'll see
what's going on. There's a lot of things, as I said,
happening today. The Rob Reiner case is very interesting because
you know, like I said, I was talking in school
Mike during the break, I go, I think this is
such a weird ass way to live, and it's it's

(25:22):
only a tiny minority of people who live like this.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
And they're loud and obnoxious.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
They make politics basically the center of everything about their personality.
To their politics, or their sexual orientation or like what
some identity thing becomes the center of their entire personality,
and that's all they judge everybody else based on. And
so Rob Reiner dies and it's like, uh, you know,
well this guy was. He was really political and annoying,

(25:50):
and now I will tell you it was beautiful to
see in a weird way. There was a lot of
people who said stuff like this, like here's some of
the reactions. I disagree so much that he says, but
this is awful news. I will never celebrate the death
of a political vote, never, says another person.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
You really don't have to say that part.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Even I wouldn't think.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
I think you could just say like, like, this is terrible,
this is brutal, this is murder, This is murder equals bad.
Be the brave people who say murder equals bad. And
you compare this with you know, other times where people
have died and they'd say like Trump next, do Matt
Walsh next, and the celebrations that you saw after the
Charlie Kirk stuff like at least this is better for

(26:31):
the people who are doing this. It's better to be like.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Hey, this was a human being and allegedly his son
slit his throat at his house in la I don't
care if you disagree.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
With his stance on gun control. You know, it's like,
how weird are you The brutal thing. The dude died,
stop being like this. So it's good to see at
least some people, even though they're couching it with like
I disagree with so much that he says, at least
not dumping all over the guy right now.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
So anyways, tough to time for all involved in that.
And we'll keep an eye on this. What I say
is someone's held on four million dollars bond. I believe,
So you know, I don't know exactly how that's gonna
twist and turn, but we'll keep an eye on it,
all right.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
What we're gonna do is this, We're gonna take a
quick break. When we come back, we'll talk about what
went down in Australia. And I got to tell you
a politician made a comment about this Australian attack. You
got to hear this on the level of tone deaf,
I think this is registering at a ten. I think
we're hitting a ten on this scale. But I'll play

(27:34):
the clip for you. Then we'll talk to Amy Kalfel.
We have a lot going on today on a Monday
here on the show. It's coming up next on the news, Chunkie,

(28:00):
tell me way you think about this. I told you
I had a clip for you that seemed a little
tone deaf, And this isn't the wake of this weekend.
There was a terrorist attack in Australia and it was bad.
And Australia has like all of the gun laws you
could ever imagine. They had a gun buyback program years
and years and years and years ago. That an incident

(28:20):
in Australia that spurned a bunch of change on gun control,
and they had a small enough of a population and
few enough guns that they were able to eradicate a
lot of the guns out of the country. And they
remain one of the more locked down countries in terms
of firearms out there. But the people who were responsible
for this some sort of Pakistani father and son combo

(28:43):
who are murdering in the name of terror together and
they go out there with these weird ass giant guns
and they started firing on these Jews who were meeting
on the beach for a Hanukah event. Just terrible, right terrible,
and every way shows you the problems with violent in
the Islamic faith. Muslims continue to have these kind of

(29:04):
issues among the radicals amongst them. Shows you the problems
that Jews face all across the world. Uh, and it
shows you that even countries with all the gun control
you could ever ask for on your wish list still
run into some.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Problems like this.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Now, the real key thing about this Australia terrorist attack
is the hero guy who balls the size of wrecking balls.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
My friend like, oh yeah, the dude with a little
bit right now.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
I swallowing up. You got ice on there today after today,
but you know or the weekend, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
you know.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
So there's video of this attack and it's just brutal
to watch these absolute lunatics as they're just opening fire
on these people on the beach. And some of them
were standing up to these guys even though they had no.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Weapons, they had nothing.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
There's a guy who's just like standing up and pointing
at them as they were firing on all all these
poor some people on the beach at this this Hanukah event.
Eventually the hero comes up, tackles one of these dudes,
gets shot by the other one, and finally the cops
get it under control.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Terrible event.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
At least fifteen people dead, twenty seven people in the hospital.
And now the United States starts talking about this and
here's what Chuck Schumer said at his press conference. I mean,
this just seemed a little weird to me. But I mean,
oh boy, maybe I'm being particular.

Speaker 14 (30:28):
Here he is.

Speaker 15 (30:29):
And of course I'm going to say a few words
about the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
It okay.

Speaker 15 (30:35):
So when first, of course, as I always say, no
matter what, go Bills.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
They beat the Patriots today. It's a big deal of
our money.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
Why bro, why would you do that?

Speaker 1 (30:45):
You know what it's about. It's about the placement, Like
if you wanted to.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Just start off the press conference and say, hey, everybody,
I hope, hope you're doing well despite some of the
things we're seeing today. Good to see everybody here. By
the way, go Bills, you know, love the Bills, big fan.
And now let's get on to some serious matters.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
I think the juxtaposition of the two things and the
editing really did Chuck Schumer a disservice here, because it
seemed like he was just finishing off what was to
be a table of contents for what he was about
to talk about at this press conference or whatever it
was he was speaking at. Because the on screen graphics

(31:23):
said something like he was talking about AI. If you
if you roll it back a little bit.

Speaker 15 (31:27):
Said, of course I'm going to say a few words
about the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
He was like, all right here, so there it is
demands action on AI price gouging. So it's like, I'm
going to talk about this, I'm going to talk about
AI and of course I'm going to finish off with
some words about the shooting in Australia.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
But first.

Speaker 15 (31:47):
Always say, no matter what go bills so bad. We
beat the Patriots today. It's a big deal.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
It's tough because I get what probably I get what
probably happened there. It was probably clipped and he probably
said it in like wider co text, plus.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Still put some time in between the it's a tough one.
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Yeah, we'll get into more of the most important part
of that Bondai Beach.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
That's the beach where this all went down.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
Uh, it came familiar with Bondai Beach and that that
one airbnbach.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yes, that was exactly what I was about to say
when I heard Bondai Beach on the news over the weekend.
I was like I only know about certain geogra There's
two sources, two main sources of the geography of Australia,
and that is that Instant Hotel show where it was
basically a competition show on who could have the best

(32:40):
AIRB and b even though they didn't want to call
it Airbnb because they didn't have like a partnership with them,
but it was called Instant Hotel and there was there
was one that took place in Bondai Beach. They said
Bondai Beach all the time. And the rest of the stuff,
I know just from the menu at Outback.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, chicken wouldn't know, wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Alan Springs is if not for Alice Springs chicken awesome
blust Wait, that's chili's blooming onion. I know.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
I know about Australia's topography. It's a weird ass country
because almost everything is on I believe, like the southeastern
side of Australia that's where the most of the population is.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
The center is like nothing.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
It's like the human brain.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
They say we only use ten percent, We only really
use ten percent of Australia's.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Yeah, there's a lot open and then in the middle
there's just like this you know, red thing that all the.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Folks go to.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Josh uses his brain and the rest is just bush territory.
You know, probably where the hair comes from. I don't
think that's wrong.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
So anyhow, Yeah, that that incident at this this Hanica
event here pretty amazing, getting a lot of headlines go bills.
And the biggest part of this puzzle was the guy
who stopped it all. I want to talk about that dude.
I want to shout him out. I want to give
you all the information about him. We're going to do
that a little bit later on in the show, if

(34:02):
you don't mind. We also have because it's Monday, rate
my blank on the way and we'll take a look
at it and officially launch it in the final hour
of the show, the Power Hour. But just to throw
it out there, ceiling was like, we have a rate
my blank today, and I was like, now, what are
you thinking? And it's Christmas, this is our final week
of the show. Let's see your Christmas decorations for rate

(34:26):
my blank today. All you have to do is go
to the news junky dot com and go see where
you can send a photo dispatch, upload a photo of
your Christmas decorations, so we could take a peek get
into the holiday spirit with you, and everybody else can
see what you got over on the dispatches side Ofthewsjunkie
dot com. So do give us a shot of that,
and let's watch this together because this was maybe my

(34:49):
favorite clip of the weekend. All Right, it doesn't have
enough audio for an opening clip, But did you guys
see Trump at the Army Navy game.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
No.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
I saw brief flips of it when I was watching it.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
They just kept showing him like saluting to guys on
the sideline.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
Trump at the Army Navy game was was hilarious because
he did the coin flip. And my guy, I think
it will be a bipartisan statement to say, this is
not how you flip a coin for an important football game. Okay,
watch this. This was the actual coin toss at the

(35:27):
Army Navy game. I'll describe it for everybody else.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Mister President.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Trump grabs the coin. You know, he grabs it with
his fingers like.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
I would have to.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
I've never held less than one hundred dollars bill.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
He's grabbing what is this coin?

Speaker 1 (35:41):
He grabs the coin and grabs it. Here he goes.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
What he didn't even flip it.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
It's a coin flip or a coin toss.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
He did like a Mama me a pizza dough.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
He did.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
But I'm imagine, folks, imagine you've got the coin in
the center of your palm and then you just kind
of thrust it up in the air and it never spins,
and then it just falls flat on the ground. Like
like perhaps Trump was betting on what the coin toss
would be himself, and he's like.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Heads, it is.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
He just roats it down.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
It's like when me and my friends used to ride
drop rides like Tower of Terror, Doctor Doom, and you
would hold a quarter in your hand to watch it
float up, and you're just like, he just throws it up.
I'm not sure it tumbled a single time. I don't
know if it ever tumbled over. I think it just
went straight up in the air then flat.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Down on the ground. And that Nobody's gonna challenge this, right,
nobodys be.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Like challenge a coin flip.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Is there NFL rules that say, like, hey, listen, that
coin did not flip. It's not a good coin flip.
Just the way he grabbed it. I toss sit up
in the air. It's he tossed it, but there should
be more like to make things more fair odds wise,

(37:08):
that sucker should spin a bit. I think didn't happen here.
We'll see what you think.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Send a dispatch and if you've got thoughts on that issue,
believe it or not or anything else.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Over at the news junkie dot com. Wait, n Cuba,
Yes college, right, yeah, oh.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
You know what Army College and Navy College.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
Okay, yeah, because it's kind of strange, but it's a
big event every year that they do this, and they
had a lot of people out there, including the president.
He's just not great at flipping coins for these games.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
It's gotta Do you think maybe he switched it? Has
he done a coin flip before? Like is there precedent
set here? And also question, do you think perhaps because
it looked to be quite cold and he had gloves on,
you think maybe he switched up his tactics because it
was harder to flip, you know, maybe something in gloves.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
He had like a like a leather looking glove, like
a solid glove, so maybe he couldn't, you know, flip
it out with his thumb and he just he just
tossed it up in the air, who was kind of
gentle but maybe not great for the odds.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
I think if you're the president of the United States
and you get to do the coin flip, you should
add zazz that only somebody of your of your title
can do, and so you should flip the coin and
have it land right on the nuclear football.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
That'd be pretty sick.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Nobody else can do that.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
Let's see how he is it O bits President Trump
talking about Rob Reiner, and here he is on truth
social Trump says, a very sad thing happened last night
in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, tortured and struggling but once very
talented movie director in comedy.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Stall Oh My Gosh, has passed.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
Away together with his wife Michelle, reportedly due to the
anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding and incurable
affliction with a mind crippling disease known as Trump derangements
central k, sometimes referred to as TDS.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
He's not taking the higher road.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
He was, no doubt driven people crazy by the light
drive obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious
paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all
goals and expectations of greatness cool with the Golden Age
of America honors perhaps like never before, May Robin Michelle,
Rest in Peace is a little different.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Than the New York Times oh bits, but there it is.
It says, if the New York if the New York
Times oh bit had gotten distracted and started talking about
their you know their numbers, you know their their circulation
stats and how they're reporting has never been better. And
then just at the end, oh yeah, sorry, tangent, May

(39:47):
Robin Michelle miss a piece. It's like if you were
giving your ex girlfriends a bit and then you've got
like in the middle, you've got a little too real
about it, Like sure she could be a C word sometimes,
but he's like, go little off script.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
He got it all in there.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
But he did say sad, So I guess that's some
sort of progress.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Maybe let us know what you think.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
But very sad thing happened to an absolute the bitch died,
rest and peace.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Happened to that horror. God, my life has been great.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
When we come back, Amy Kaufel joins us on the show,

Amy.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
It was good.

Speaker 10 (42:00):
It was good. I'm really excited, you guys.

Speaker 17 (42:03):
The folks at the Cure Bowl tapped me to be
their Survivor ambassador this year. So I got to last
night go down to Universal City Walk and greet both
the team from University of South Florida the Bulls, and
Old Dominion the Monarchs. And these teams are going to
meet head to head and Camping World Stadium on Wednesday.
Game times five o'clock, So come on down. But what's

(42:24):
really cool about this Bowl game is, unlike all the
other Bowl games, this one, the proceeds from it will
go towards cancer research, which is happy right here in
Central Florida at UCF. So it goes it's everything is
for curable as pink, as you know. But it does
more than just breast cancer research. It does any kind
of cancer research.

Speaker 10 (42:44):
So it's really cool.

Speaker 17 (42:45):
So I get to go out on the field on Wednesday,
and I'm going to get to help with the coin toss.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Oh no, threw that up.

Speaker 10 (42:52):
You know, I'm kind of nervous.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
Well, we just showed Trump doing the coin toss at
the Army Navy game and he held it in his hand, Amy,
and then you just kind of like pushed it up
into the air and it didn't twist, it didn't ever flip.
It just kind of like a like a pancake. It
cruised into the air that it fell straight down and
nobody said anything about it. You're gonna want to avoid
that or.

Speaker 17 (43:14):
It's like I feel like the coin toss like somebody
it's like usually.

Speaker 10 (43:17):
Like you flip coin, right.

Speaker 17 (43:19):
I don't think I'm going to be able to do that,
So I feel like I just need to like throw
it up in the air. But then like what if
I throw it up in the air and then it
ends up like I don't know, like like on.

Speaker 10 (43:27):
The ten yard line. And now all of a sudden,
I'm like, I'm.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Sorry, you're gonna go viral? Yeah, what we're looking for here?
I'd be like, have you ever wanted to go viral?
Because this might be your chance? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (43:40):
No, no, yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
If you happy you want to go megaviral, I got
it for you here, Amy. All right, when they give
you the coin, you're out there in the middle of
the cure bawl. The world is watching, huge event.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
Great cause they give you the coin and they go,
ladies and gentlemen for the coin. Flip the amazing and
talented Amy Coffelt and you eat the coin.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Viral look instantly viral and you go. Now, we'll never know.
I don't know how they handle that. I know if
that's in the rule, but right, or do you just
have to wait a.

Speaker 10 (44:17):
Coin, somebody eats the coin yet weird.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
Nobody eats the coin yet, Amy Cowfell. Listen, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Every year at the bottom of my stocking, there's plenty
of edible coins. Well, I know you've been following. It
was a busy weekend.

Speaker 17 (44:33):
For a busy weekend for terrible news.

Speaker 10 (44:37):
Yeah, I mean yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
We were talking about how isn't it crazy that they
don't have any suspects and custody for this Brown University shooting.
Somebody went and shot the school and then they announced
the guy was arrested and then they let him go.

Speaker 17 (44:53):
Yeah, and that's disturbing. And if that guy had nothing
to do with this, sean, uh, I don't know what's
going to happen, but if I were that person, I
can tell you there'd be some lawsuits flying. So so yeah,
so you got a feel for somebody who gets pulled into,
you know, a case that has really maybe nothing to
do with them.

Speaker 10 (45:10):
I don't know. Did they just not.

Speaker 17 (45:11):
I had heard this morning that they said that the
DNA did not match. Okay, that the DNA from this
suspect he wasn't a suspect person of interest that they
pulled in did not match. And apparently he was like,
it wasn't me. So I don't know, but I just
can't imagine that.

Speaker 10 (45:27):
The horror of that.

Speaker 17 (45:28):
It makes me think about you guys, remember the Olympic
Park bombing. Yeah, Richard Jewell remember that the security guard
that and you know, and like those types of things,
especially in this day and age, right in the age
of the Internet, when that per kid's picture was ever
where people are pulling up his LinkedIn page, and I mean,
I mean he didn't do it.

Speaker 10 (45:46):
That's horrible. Yeah, it's a mess.

Speaker 17 (45:49):
But you guys, remember right after the Charlie Kirk murder.
You know, it's sort of the similar sort of missteps,
like someone's caught, no, someone's not caught. Or it happened
right after the two National guards and were shot.

Speaker 10 (46:00):
In Washington, d C.

Speaker 17 (46:02):
It was like, you know, it was the governor of
West Virginia, who was like, they're both dead and then
they were like, oh, no, they're not. I mean, like,
how does that happen?

Speaker 4 (46:10):
And by the way, the world is full of big,
wondrous questions for me. But you got to wonder, what
if the guy who assassinated Charlie Kirk, what if that
guy's dad didn't turn him in? Would they have found him?
Would they would they have tracked this guy down? We
have no idea.

Speaker 17 (46:27):
I think so because remember he also spoke to the
roommate and the roommate was very cooperative with police. So
I do feel like that.

Speaker 10 (46:35):
That would have come out regardless of the dad.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
But yeah, this is another example of something crazy and
tragic like that happening. And then you can bring that
January fifth person who put the pipe bombs at the
RNC and the DNC and Washington DC, and again somebody
you just slink the way and just left the major
crime scenes.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Really really, they had.

Speaker 17 (46:57):
All the evidence, they didn't get any new evidence, and
they were able to solve that. You know, that's crazy
to me too, Like, was that four or five years
later that they were like, oh, we just went back
into the evidence and we looked at it again and
we were like, oh, wait a second, you know, yeah, yeah,
a lot, just so many crazy stories over the weekend.
I don't know if you saw it, but the National
Guardsman does the second one, the mail that was shot
in d C. There's some good news that came about

(47:18):
out about him this weekend that he is breathing on
his own.

Speaker 10 (47:21):
And he is up walking again, which is miraculous.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
You know, yeah, that's great bit of good news. Terrible
targeted attack, I guess on this person in Washington, d C.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Two of them and in one of them.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
I think for a while, I think at the beginning
they did report that both of them were dead.

Speaker 17 (47:38):
There was some they did that was the governor of
West Virginia that said that, and then I think, you know,
the President repeated it because that's what he was told,
and then they were like had to walk it back
and say no, he didn't. And I just can't imagine.
I don't know how that stuff happens. I think it's
just like this. I don't know, is it just like
this desire to hurry up and a.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
Lot of times, yeah, even the President does it where
he'll come out.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
He was doing it.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
About the brown University shooting where it early came out
that they had somebody in custody and they was like, no,
they don't have anybody in custody, and you know, back
and forth we've.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Gone on that.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
But I wonder, did you guys, did you spend some
time this morning talking about this high school student who
I think he may have gone to Doctor Phillips High School,
who was arrested for the these attacks on these young
girls that I saw this weekend, and from what I
from what I could tell, this young guy, I guess

(48:32):
he was like threatening these girls that if they didn't
do sexual things with him, that he would release videos
and that he was in some gang or something.

Speaker 10 (48:44):
You just where did you see that this morning? Do
you remember?

Speaker 1 (48:46):
I saw?

Speaker 4 (48:47):
I saw a couple of places. Courtney was talking about
it over over the weekend too. It was, Yeah, I
had this this young guy who was going to I
think Doctor Phillips, but I don't know if they announced
the actual school he was from, ended up with these
multiple young girls doing, you know, raping them they believe

(49:11):
and holding over their heads that he was with some
gang and that their family would be in trouble if
they didn't do anything just kind of crazy to see
that this weekend.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
But yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 17 (49:22):
I'll dig on that, see what i'llse I can find out.
I'm sure assign A Dusk is probably working on it,
just we just haven't. They just haven't briefed the rest
of us on it yet because they're always they're always
working on stuff for the next show, So that is
certainly possible.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
They got all the story that a lot.

Speaker 10 (49:35):
Of people were talking about over the weekend.

Speaker 17 (49:37):
Did you guys see this this girl Mary in County
that was pulled over going one hundred and twelve miles
an hour.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
Yeah, we talked about it last week, Sean, but they
had this morning on Good Day Orlando. They had the
police body camera footage. It was the one the lady
who told the cops that they needed to drive faster
or they needed faster cars.

Speaker 17 (49:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, twelve miles an hour. And actually she
did get away from them and then they found her
car crash in a parking lot. But yeah, so now
we have the body camera video and she's basically berating them,
saying that they were following her because of her window tint,
and so she was angry and berating the cops. And

(50:16):
saying like, don't you guys have anything better to do?
Aren't there there's like murder cases you should be you
should be solving going one hundred and twelve and a fifty.

Speaker 10 (50:24):
Mile per hour zone.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Wow, unbelievable.

Speaker 17 (50:26):
Then eventually crashed the car in a parking lot somewhere
and they found it.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Yeah, and obviously you're covering this morning the attack on
Rob Reiner and his wife. In fact, I'm looking at
some of the coverage on Fox thirty five. I saw
that his thirty two year old son. This is according
to the Fox thirty five website Fox thirty five or
landa dot com. Rob Roynder's thirty two year old son
has been arrested and is being held on four million
dollars bail. Seeland had said earlier that they perhaps were

(50:54):
at Conan O'Brien's a Christmas party the night before and
they were visibly fighting, the son and Rob Reiner and
his mom, and then they went home and you know,
apparently something, some violent act took place there, and the sun.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Has been something like it was an argument loud enough
for like the other party guests to hear, so it
sounds like they made an awkward crazy.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
Yeah, just very very strange. Didn't expect that out of
absolutely nowhere.

Speaker 10 (51:22):
But no horrific news.

Speaker 17 (51:23):
I mean what the police report said that they both
Rob Ryner and his wife Michelle, were their throats were slit,
that it was his daughter Romy. He had three children
with wife Michelle, and then adopted daughter with Penny Marshall,
who was his first wife. But he apparently the daughter
Romy lived right across the street and came over to

(51:44):
check on them about three thirty in the afternoon yesterday,
which had been Pacific time, and found the body. She's
the one who called for an ambulance. But you know,
I think they were already gone, and I don't know
at this point, we don't.

Speaker 10 (51:56):
Know how long they were gone.

Speaker 17 (51:57):
But initial reports were that that this other son, thirty
two year old Nick, was being looked at, and I
was just I don't know if you guys remember there
was it that Rob Reiner actually made like a documentary
about his own son and just in master times he
had been to rehabilitation, it was like it was well
over a dozen times going to rehab and didn't want
to go back to rehab and ended up homeless and
say I'd rather be homeless and go back to rehab.

(52:19):
And I mean, just I don't know what types of
drugs or you know, substance abuse was going on there,
but obviously it was bad.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, we're going to learn more about this,
I'm sure as time passes, because it looks like this
happened in the middle of the day yesterday or at
some point during the day yesterday, and Rob Reiner and
his family are just all starting to well, Rob Reiner's
family remain starting to react to this. The other thing
I wanted to ask you about. I'll probably get to
this a bit deeper in Jury Duty later on in

(52:47):
the show, Amy, But I did see on Fox that
there was a they made an agreement I guess of
some sort in this Stardust Racers death, the roller coaster
death at Epic Universe. Do we know if this family
got a payout?

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Do we know?

Speaker 17 (53:04):
What we do know, Sean, is that you know they're
not going to talk about it if there is a settlement, right,
Usually there's the settlement.

Speaker 10 (53:12):
Part of the settlement is.

Speaker 17 (53:13):
Usually what is called an NDA or a non disclosure
agreement that you know, yes, we will settle this with you,
and part of that is that you don't talk about
it anymore. So we'll see if what happens. I will
know if you know, if nobody's talking. So but yeah,
at this point, we don't know. I mean, I think
it's fairly you know, common for these types of cases

(53:34):
to be settled out of court. I don't know if
you guys saw the update on the Sea World duck
incident last.

Speaker 10 (53:42):
It wasn't a duck.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
Yeah, yeah, it wasn't a duck war, it wasn't a duck.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
So the whole lawsuit should be dismissed right now. And
it's like, do we have to refile this and say
a bird instead?

Speaker 1 (53:54):
And then we go back to it.

Speaker 10 (53:56):
Is a duck a bird?

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (53:58):
Right?

Speaker 10 (53:58):
Yeah, okay, okay, I think yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:01):
I mean, I'm no aviary expert or whatever they call themselves,
but I think they are.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
I would think so.

Speaker 10 (54:09):
I think I think so too. But yeah, I thought
that because part of the lawsuit was that that you
know that.

Speaker 17 (54:13):
That Sea World brings the ducks in as part of
the esthetic value of the park, right, Like I think, like,
these are your ducks, this is.

Speaker 10 (54:21):
Your duck that did this.

Speaker 17 (54:22):
And then so then for the response to be like
we don't you know that wasn't our duck.

Speaker 10 (54:27):
It was what did I think? I think they said
it was an egret?

Speaker 4 (54:30):
What I'm trying to remember now, Yeah, they named the
type of bird, and they're like, look, we can't control
what the wildlife is doing out here, right, this may
be if it's.

Speaker 17 (54:39):
Not right, if it wasn't like one of our animals
were supposed to do exactly anything else.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Grabbing your attention out there.

Speaker 17 (54:47):
Well, obviously you know the anti Semitic terrorism in Australia.
We've got several we've got several Hanka events going on
in central Florida. We did hear from from some of
the rabbis in Bervard County yesterday just talking about how
disconcerting this was is. You can imagine there's there are
more Honica celebrations going on tonight, so you can an

(55:09):
dissipate that there'll be added security for all these folks
who are are in the middle of their holiday celebrations.

Speaker 10 (55:14):
It's just it's truly horrific, truly horrific.

Speaker 17 (55:17):
And then you know, as you guys know by now,
it was the father and son potentially responsible. The father
was killed in the son some heroic action did you
guys see the guy I know.

Speaker 4 (55:27):
And the guy Amy I guess the guy said, Hey,
I might die, but I'm going to do this.

Speaker 17 (55:34):
And he told what he said to his buddy. He
was like, I might die, but I'm going to go
grab him. Can you imagine he didn't get shot.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
I can't sit here and watch this. I might die,
but I have to do something about this. And he
went up behind the shooter as he was popping off
shots at these people at this Hanickko event, and he
grabbed around him and grabbed the gun, struggled the gun away,
and then the other guy that was shooting with the
father and son duo shot him at least one or

(56:00):
twice maybe I.

Speaker 10 (56:01):
Think twice in the arm is what I read.

Speaker 17 (56:02):
And that but he that he went into surgery and
he's going to be okay, thankfully, incredible.

Speaker 10 (56:07):
But I mean, you can imagine his bravery. I mean,
we're already I.

Speaker 17 (56:10):
Think this sadly the death holes at sixteen, yeah, twenty
nine injured. I mean, and they were shooting from a bridge,
so they were shooting, you know what I mean. It
was kind of reminded me a little bit of the
Las Vegas mass shooting where you know, the guy has
this like high up vantage point.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
And in Australia, because of a lot of their gun laws,
it wasn't like there was anybody else around there that
could have a weapon. To do much about it, they
had to wait for law enforcement to arrive, and that
took a little bit of time, and then finally law
enforcement engaged with these guys. But thankfully, this this hero
dude stepped up. We're going to talk about him a

(56:43):
little bit later on too. What are your big plans
for the holiday break? Amy Kaufelt, what's going on?

Speaker 17 (56:49):
We're actually taking the kids skiing, so I'm excited for that.

Speaker 10 (56:52):
We haven't we didn't go skiing last year.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
We tried it.

Speaker 17 (56:55):
We tried to go once a year, which is you
guys know, it's not easy from Florida.

Speaker 10 (56:59):
So so what We're going.

Speaker 17 (57:00):
To take the kids skiing, So that'll be that's our
big plans for the holiday and.

Speaker 10 (57:04):
Excited about that.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
So what do you do for New Year's Eve?

Speaker 17 (57:09):
New Year's Eve, I will be sleeping because I have
to work the next day.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
Oh wow, come on.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
They want you to start off the twenty twenty six
year by immediately working over there.

Speaker 17 (57:22):
I will toast my champagne at six pm, and I'm
gonna go to bed.

Speaker 10 (57:26):
Can I tell you I'm tired.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
I would like to bitch about something if I can't
very quickly, all right, I just want to get this out.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
There, stop you before.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
Yeah, very true, Josh, very very true. I have seen
the twenty twenty six New Year's Eve glasses and I
want to tell you they are repulsive.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
They don't make any sense here.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
They are. Just show everybody if you can the ones
for twenty.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
Twenty six because they want to make the eye holes zeros.
It looks like it says two hundred, and then there's
like a two twenty six, like on top of the
two hundred.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
I don't even get that. Is this person holding more
than one pair of glass?

Speaker 4 (58:06):
This is two pairs each one of them is like,
there's a two hundred because you have two eye holes,
and then the twenty six is on top of one
of the zeros.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
It doesn't even read. It's terrible. It's not with you. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
So we're obviously, as an act of revenge, we're gonna
burn the factory that makes these to the ground.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Oh me, Amy Kaufel say, that.

Speaker 17 (58:26):
Out loud because something bad will happen and they were
going to come back.

Speaker 10 (58:29):
To you, Sean Watson, and you're gonna be responsible.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
I said, we're gonna work and because you were on
the clip with us, you're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
You're gonna go viral.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
When up, you'll be like, isn't that the lady that
the coined? During the coin toss, I choke on that coin.

Speaker 17 (58:46):
On Wednesday, I'll be watching.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
I know you're not gonna choke. You're gonna nail it.
You're gonna do a great job.

Speaker 10 (58:52):
I'm really nervous about it. I'll give you guys an update. Okay,
so what are you guys off?

Speaker 1 (58:56):
We are?

Speaker 2 (58:57):
This is our last week for the year.

Speaker 10 (58:59):
Yeah, you're going all the way through Friday.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
We are going through Friday. We're going to try to
manage to drag ourselves.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
Through Friday, and then after that we're off for the
remainder of the year.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
And we we'll see you. We'll see you on January fifth.

Speaker 10 (59:13):
I'm gonna miss you, guys, and I love you.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Miss your I'm.

Speaker 17 (59:16):
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year. I'm looking forward
to seeing you on the other side. But have a
great break. It's well deserved. You guys work really hard.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
Two.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
We love you, not as hard as you deserved, not
even close. New Year's Day, we love you too.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
And Happy, Happy Christmas, Merry Christmas, all the rest and
we'll see you in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Amy Coffe out.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
The best Buy.

Speaker 4 (59:41):
She is something, all right, quick break when we come back.
We got a lot to get into on Monday, more
details about the hero that stepped up in Australia of Philip.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Rivers, forty four years old and wandering around playing football
with the young kids. What the hell? Whose idea was this?
What happened to the sideline right before the game. All
of that coming up next on the news.

Speaker 4 (01:00:02):
Junkie Philip Rivers was out there playing football with the

(01:00:22):
kids this weekend. It's like when Grandpa goes out to
toss the ball in the front yard when Christmas dinner
is being made.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
But in this case, Grandpa scored a touchdown.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Grandpa's scoring a touchdown and did pretty damn well out there.
Uncle Rico, Yeah, he was full of Uncle Rico.

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
I loved how there was a moment I don't even
know I could find this, but there was a moment
where Philip Rivers is out in doing the press for
his comeback at forty four years old in the NFL,
and somebody goes, what do you weigh? And he's like,
I have no idea. He doesn't know like any of
the stuff you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Might know, and he's just he's an old man out
there on the field. Well there he is, all dressed
up and ready to play on the sidelines.

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
The forty four year old took to the field. It
was started, and I think he's one of the oldest
players to ever play, ever played in the NFL. And
he just got out there and did his thing. Pretty
impressive overall.

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
I'd say that's what a healthy forty four year old
looks like.

Speaker 4 (01:01:20):
Yes, yeah, I mean I know when you look at
me from time to time, you're like, is this peak
forty four?

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
It's not. It's not, Josh.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Yeah, I'm sad to hear that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Yeah, it could be a little it could. It could
bring you in and confuse you. I understand that. But
good for him, man. It says got off the couch
at forty four years old on this tweet and nearly
stole a game in Seattle, having not played in five years.
Philip Rivers is forever my go. Good for you, buddy,
good for you. Pretty impressive, No, I mean for his
first game back. One hundred and twenty passing yards, one touchdown, pass,

(01:01:53):
one intersumption.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Yeah, all right, what it happens, Yeah, it happens.

Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
Overall, a pretty impressive thing for anybody to do. Let's
go to the White House where I guess things got weird.
Trump was having a Christmas reception and he introduced one
of the people and they said, it gets weird here.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Let's see how this goes. Let's listen into this clipton.
All right.

Speaker 15 (01:02:17):
I want to see a couple of words.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Sure, she's a great hostess.

Speaker 18 (01:02:20):
She does.

Speaker 16 (01:02:21):
She hosts professionally everything that she's the best.

Speaker 4 (01:02:25):
I don't know who this woman is, but Trump has
brought this woman up and he's like, she's a great
host and Trump likes to do this thing at these
events where he goes you want to say some things
and you can see the person's eyes like, oh, I.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
Can't say to the president.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
Didn't prepare to speak. Oh, so she goes up.

Speaker 19 (01:02:44):
I want to see a couple of words.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Sure, I never prepared to speak.

Speaker 16 (01:02:48):
She hosts professionally everything that she's the best.

Speaker 13 (01:02:52):
But now she's probably gonna let's see, is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
She gonna choke?

Speaker 16 (01:02:56):
Is she gonna be the opposite of Bryson good a couple.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Of let's see, she's gonna choke everybody. He's getting bored,
Jones getting bored. He's like, Uh, let me set some
things up here and just have some dominoes falling for
my enjoyment. Will this lady completely totally fail?

Speaker 4 (01:03:16):
I don't know if she did or not. I'm sure
she did great. I'm sure she did fantastic. He had
a couple of athletes out there at the White House.
It was a big deal. I'm sure everybody had a
good time. Let us know what you thought of it
if you were checking in on that. I guess golfer
pro golfer Bryson des Schambeau am I saying that right,

(01:03:36):
de sham And he almost cried when he got up
at the event.

Speaker 10 (01:03:41):
When I was a kid, I never imagined that I'd
even be up here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
How is this even possible? So it's it's been a
beautiful moment.

Speaker 5 (01:03:49):
I'm gonna cry actually, because I don't even know why
I'm up here speaking.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
He isn't riding a long time. No, No, he's not a.

Speaker 13 (01:03:57):
Big crier, not since the US Open.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
But I gotta tell you, slap.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Him on the back.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Sain't that right?

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Bryce? I like the back hit right here, Boom boom,
there you.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
Go, just a little hit on the back after this
for Bryson Day shambau, which I guess if you're a
golf fan.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
You know exactly who that guy is. It's when he
slapped him on the back like that, I felt like
I was watching SNL like the guy that does Trump
just go. You know, he doesn't cry much, hasn't cried
that slap him on the back cryer all right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
I was talking to her the break a little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
I was like, what what a absolutely useless thing. But
I guess Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, is going to
be meeting with Candice Owens privately today at some point
in time.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Though.

Speaker 4 (01:04:48):
Yeah, somebody said she should record that. I would like
to hear it. I would be interested, but I don't
think anything good will ever come of this, Like you're
never gonna get one of these crazy grifter conspiracy people
and get them to go.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
You know what. We had a conversation and I figured
it out. If not in her interest to do this,
she makes a ton of money, and I mean a
ton probably I guess sixty to ninety thousand per YouTube
video on these ones that are like the top some
of the top videos in the news and politics category,

(01:05:22):
probably sixty to ninety thousand dollars in some of these
bigger videos with five million views.

Speaker 4 (01:05:28):
So she makes money serving this slop up to these people.
There's no way she's gonna come out and be like
I talked to her. It turns out it was the
furry guy. It was, yes, like that's who did it
and nobody else.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
I don't know why I kept saying massade so many times,
but the Jews did not do this one.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
We need foreign legion didn't do it either.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
That's right. Yeah, they took some blame, though. We need
somebody who has like really good dirt on canas owens.
And even if that happened, it would, I mean it
would unless it was just like, uh, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Life change cancelable.

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
But I think even some of the stuff that would
cancel a normal person, she would be like either embrace
it or just call it fake news or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:06:14):
Of course, yeah, nobody's going to be rational when it's
not in your business model to be rational, Like, just
these people aren't doing it. So easy to be a grifter,
It's so easy to do it. I would be the
most successful.

Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
Grifter of all time if I just went full fledsh
I can't do it. I would feel like a loser
at the end of the day.

Speaker 4 (01:06:32):
But stop, everybody who's watching this crap, stop doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
Stop doing I would be a rich loser.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
You so tempting, Oh, Josh, I'm like, God, I was money.

Speaker 4 (01:12:57):

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
I thought I knew what was going on, all.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
Right, And that's it.

Speaker 5 (01:13:09):
Gun Heater locked Sena in a sleeper hold, and that
was the last match of his career. The crowd was
very upstastated. The guy behind him is gobsmacked.

Speaker 1 (01:13:22):
Grown ass adult who's like, I can't believe it. He
really let me down.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Oh my god, my hero, Sena.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
You were my hero and you love.

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
The disappointment in this grown ass man's face who has
like a mortgage payment coming up is so crazy to me.

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
Well good for you, John Cena. Enjoy your retirement.

Speaker 5 (01:13:42):
Uh someone else who is not quite retired, and I
will give you time to pull up this video real quick.
Patrick Mahomes played this weekend against the Chargers.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Not quite retired but.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
Well, as we'll see in the clip, it hits into
the ground, gets taken down right here.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
A cyl dunze.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
Oh that's not good. His next step the leftnie right here.
Oh yeah, it's not good. He led.

Speaker 5 (01:14:13):
He led the Chiefs against the Chargers sixteen to thirteen
in the fourth quarter, and that is when his knee
gave up. He threw the ball away to avoid a tackle,
but was taken down anyway. And to make matters worse,
Gardner Minshew came in to throw a game ending interception
deep Chargers territory. He's the backup quarterback. What's his name, Minshew?

(01:14:40):
Some of these guys got weird names, and.

Speaker 4 (01:14:42):
Bring in, Bring in Gardner Minshew. He's the only one
who could save.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
Us at loss.

Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
Thanks to Minchew's interception, as it will come to be known,
ended the Chiefs playoff.

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
Hopes for the season.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
I know I'm telling so weird.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
The Chiefs seem to have fallen a bit this season. Yeah,
its true.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
All dynasties must fall, except for this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
Tragic oh Car.

Speaker 5 (01:15:09):
Dick Van Dyke is indeed still alive at the ripe
old age of one hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:15:15):
He turned this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
Tributes pouring in. I don't know what is a tribute.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
Tribute contribute, It's not like an get a tribute while
you're alive. Yeah, yep, he's still alive.

Speaker 5 (01:15:25):
He's won a ton of awards over the year, including
over the years, not just one year, in fact, including
four Primetime Emmy Awards, a Grammy, a Tony, leaving him
just an Oscar shive and he got and he better
get to work on that because his time is running out.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
And that was the weirdest thing.

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
Everybody is watching you if you're Dick Van Dyke and
you're out there and you're like, you know, still chucking
and jobbing and doing your thing, and everybody's like, oh,
this is crazy that you're still alive.

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
We're waiting for any minute when it's his breaking news.
Dick Van Dyke Dad telling me, that's just it, that's
just how it goes breaking news.

Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
This guy is dead.

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
Oh, I know that song.

Speaker 5 (01:16:07):
Carl Carlton would I never would have guessed that if
I didn't read the story.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
Is he the third stringer for that football team after
Gardner Minshew?

Speaker 5 (01:16:18):
And it fits because he was seventy two, he'd be
a terrible quarterback. Carl car Carlton, best known for his
smash it She's a Bad Managama dead at seventy two.

Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
Yep, Carl was seventy two. That's all they said.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
That's it, Carl.

Speaker 5 (01:16:33):
You had a song, you were seventy two and then
you died. And that's the way it goes. And this
guy right here.

Speaker 21 (01:16:43):
That is.

Speaker 5 (01:16:46):
Oh, Bobby Schmurda is correct.

Speaker 1 (01:16:52):
Bobby Schmirda was one of the guys that played at
the The Phoenix thing that Bob Billy McFarlane put on.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
Bobby Schmerda.

Speaker 5 (01:17:00):
Schmerda, she wrote Perpetually in Trouble, got into an all
out brawl at his performance at the Minnesota Gold Room
in Minneapolis on Saturday night when someone threw a bottle
at Bobby and yelled f Bobby Schmerda. He then jumped
off the stage and started fighting. Allegedly, no one was

(01:17:22):
actually injured, and Bobby used a chair to fend off
his attackers before exiting the club and disappearing into the
night as it were there you go, yep, good for you,
Bobby Schmerda and this gal. I organically found a story today.
I didn't have to go search.

Speaker 3 (01:17:43):
Wow, I bet I know it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
Ben Scheff, What.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
Did she decide on all red lights on her Christmas
tree this year?

Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
Is that this time around?

Speaker 4 (01:17:54):
For those of you aren't initiated, Josh has since the
first time he's ever done the next episode for some reason,
always worked in one varying levels of importance JLO story,
and sometimes they're there of.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
Like, wow, okay, all right, let's see what this one's like.
Go ahead.

Speaker 5 (01:18:11):
Ben Affleck attended his son Samuel's play with both of
his ex wifs, Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Oh, he's just flanked by Jennifers.

Speaker 5 (01:18:22):
Yeah, he's flanked by Jennifers. This is a La Friday night.
He was walking with his son and Jennifer Garner in
the parking lot and then in the playhouse. Jennifer Lopez
could be seen chatting animatedly with other parents and kids
though it doesn't appear ben went over to at any point,
so I guess she was just there for the kids' performance,
but not speaking to Benjamin.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
Did they catch him outside sadly smoking?

Speaker 5 (01:18:45):
And I hope so, not that I'm aware of, But
you know, it was a weekend, so maybe the photos
have yet to come out.

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
On the boob tube.

Speaker 5 (01:18:53):

last one for the year. God bless you, I love you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
Well. Here goes there he goes.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
Ladies and gentlemen, they said it couldn't be done. Bad
applause today a lot of.

Speaker 3 (01:19:14):
I think fifty total j LO stories this year.

Speaker 4 (01:19:17):
Wow, congratulations, I knew you could do it. There you go,
all right, folks, quick break when we come back. The

here we'll get into rate my blank and we have,
according to Selane, a great prize actually for the winner
of Rate My Blank Today. We're gonna be popping that
out for you in the final hour of the show.
And more about the hero in Australia this weekend. We'll
get those details worked in. It's coming up next on
the News Junkie. It's so good to have you with

long one.

Speaker 4 (01:20:33):
I suggest the actual edited version, which is just under
ninety minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):

Speaker 1 (01:20:49):
Of one of those categories, you will get access for free.
As per usual, there is a person who is suing
the IRS Ternal Revenue Service.

Speaker 4 (01:21:01):
That's what it stands for. I believe right yes, and
the IRS. I'm always rooting for the person suing the IRS.
But this person is demanding that the IRS allow people
to claim their pets as legal dependents.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
They want people to be able to claim their dogs
and cats. I agree, I would agree with that, but
not the same amount, because you do spend a lot
on your pets.

Speaker 4 (01:21:29):
So you think you should get some monies or like,
you could usually write off some stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
I don't think the same exact right up, right off
as a child, You're.

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
Right, no, but I think I mean reasonably, you are
keeping an animal alive. It's a good thing. It's a
lot of money. Sometimes animals are expensive.

Speaker 4 (01:21:51):
By the way, the reason why it makes sense for
you to write off a child when you have a
child is because ideally that child is going to be
part of the workforce or someday and then is going
to be producing things for the United States of America,
contributing to taxes and paying into Social Security and all
these other programs, and so they give you some tax

(01:22:14):
benefits to have these kids that keep everything going.

Speaker 1 (01:22:17):
Your dog's probably not.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
Gonna do that.

Speaker 4 (01:22:19):
My dog doesn't participate in the economy generally speaking. Although
we do buy a lot of stuff for Lady the dog,
including not one but two Christmas toys this week, because
Courty is sure that she knows the difference between non
Christmas toys and Christmas toys. So we must have a
Christmas toy around the holidays for Lady the dog.

Speaker 1 (01:22:41):
She's got one now. But we can't write anything off
on her yet. This woman, she is saying that finnigin
her eight year old golden retriever, is entirely dependent on
her for food, shelter, medical care, training, transportation, and daily living.
Finnegan has no independent income on account of being a
who resides exclusively with. Have been a few dogs, you know,

(01:23:05):
in history that have had some independent income. You know,
there was that dog that played Toto.

Speaker 4 (01:23:11):
As annual expenses exceeding five thousand dollars. That means, she
argues that Finnegain satisfies every meaningful element of dependency recognized
under Section one fifty two of the IRS, except for
being a human. She has asked the court to determine
whether pets can be recognized as non human dependence. Can
you write off your dog or cat? That would be pandemonium,

(01:23:35):
absolute pandemonium, people with four hundred dogs in their house?

Speaker 1 (01:23:39):
True?

Speaker 4 (01:23:40):
Right off all this stuff shelter. Yeah, I've seen it
happening before.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
I just came out of it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:47):
Can you prove that a pet is good for society? No, no, no.

Speaker 4 (01:23:53):
But I would imagine a pet probably elevates the mood.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
Of the pet owner, would be my guess, and that's
a good thing.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
People might be less.

Speaker 4 (01:24:05):
Likely to go shoot up a grocery store if they
have a little dog at home or something that that
could be good.

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
It's not bad all the way around.

Speaker 4 (01:24:12):
I mean, there are some bad pet owners, but I
just don't think we want the irs getting.

Speaker 1 (01:24:17):
Involved in this business. Let us know what you think.

Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
We're going to go over to your dispatches in just
a moment here on the show, but very quickly. This
is an astonishing story, unbelievable story. A child that was
missing for forty years has been found after a crime
Stoppers tip came in. Usually think after ten years, this

(01:24:40):
ain't going anywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
You're never going to find this person again.

Speaker 4 (01:24:44):
This child has been missing for forty four zero years.
A Kentucky family has been reunited with their daughter, Michelle Newton,
nearly forty years after her abduction in nineteen eighty three.
Michelle Newton disappeared for Louisville when she was only three
years old, allegedly abducted by her mother, Deborah Newton. The

(01:25:06):
National Center for Missing an Exploited Children release an aged
progressed image of Michelle in twenty twenty four, hoping somebody
would recognize her.

Speaker 1 (01:25:13):
It's kind of.

Speaker 4 (01:25:14):
Crazy to see you see what she was a little
girl in nineteen eighty three. And I wonder if they
used AI because the age progression shows her what she's
supposed to look like at forty one years old, and
it looks fairly legit. And what I want to know is,
now that they found her, does that actually look like her?

(01:25:35):
Here's what they had, that's her in nineteen eighty three. Okay,
little kid, little tiny kid. And then now she's supposed
to be forty one years old, So they put this
out there. The case had gone cold for decades until
crime Stoppers got a call from Florida and there was
a breakthrough. Michelle was found, her mother was arrested in
central Florida in the villages where she was living.

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
Huh, And they are now going after the mom.

Speaker 4 (01:26:02):
But after all of these years, so forty some odd years,
this mom is now in custody.

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
Yeah, she looks like she does.

Speaker 13 (01:26:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
I don't know what kidnappers look like, but something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
Is the answer.

Speaker 1 (01:26:17):
Yes, the violation coaches is out of state, fugly, Kentucky.
It does say out of state, FuG I'll give you that.
It does.

Speaker 4 (01:26:27):
It does say that, but definitely yeah, probably, Yeah, it
makes more sense, doesn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
All right, let's go over to you some of your.

Speaker 4 (01:26:35):
Feedback rolling in, and then we'll get into the hero
in Australia, all of that good stuff. Michael emails the
show and he says, greetings junkies and happy Monday. Well,
hello to you Michael out there and radio podcast or
streaming land. I'm writing this over the weekend, so I'm
certain that it's off topic from whatever you're discussing today,
but I thought you'd get a kick out of it.

(01:26:56):
I've been a daily listener long enough to where I've
developed soul memory now about the show. What I mean
is this past Saturday, I was listening to a station
and the Arctic Monkeys came on. Immediately, my mind said
sweet a special weekend edition to the news junkie, and
then I realized the song just kept playing and the

(01:27:16):
lyrics kicked in and it was actually the music on
the weekends here demonstrates when he went.

Speaker 1 (01:27:24):
On a couple extra things, He's like, Oh, it's the
best of that's all.

Speaker 4 (01:27:29):
I hope you all enjoy a well deserved breaking a
fantastic holiday. Wiggle, wiggle, et cetera. Cheers, says Mike. Then
over to this is Douglas, who says, uh.

Speaker 1 (01:27:40):
See it now? What the hell?

Speaker 18 (01:27:42):
He said?

Speaker 1 (01:27:42):
Curious why you decided to make us pay for see
it now? I'll explain in a second, hear He says,
I'm not complaining, I'm just curious. I wrote you a
couple of times, and I've done some dispatches. I've been
listening to Talk Late Radio my whole life start out
listening in Chicago. Really love the show and what you're doing.
It's so and cutting edge and inclusive, engaging, fun, funny,

(01:28:03):
serious when you need to be. It's just a great show.

Speaker 4 (01:28:05):
And I like that you're trying to transition to what's
coming as radio dies.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
Wow, how dare you?

Speaker 1 (01:28:11):
Sir?

Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
But yeah, I hate that radio is talking. I'm still
a fan blah blah blah blah. And so he's talking
about see it now?

Speaker 1 (01:28:17):
Well, See It Now is the way it's set up now.

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
It was messed up for a little while with the
previous update, but most posts save for like reviews on stuff.
So if we talk about a TV show or a
movie and it's a review, I want you to always
be able to go back and see that and see
what the review was. Those will be available to everyone
always the other ones the moment I post.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
To See it Now.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
There's a twenty four hour timer on it, so if
you listen within the first twenty four hours, little encouragement
for you to listen early. You listen within the first
twenty four hours, then you can go to see it
Now and see everything for free. Secret Show subscribers get
perma access to all of this, as you might imagine.
All right, let's see what we got here for dispatches today.

(01:29:00):
A lot of people joining in with the rate. My
blank will get that on a little bit later. Here
is doctor Harambe talking about Rob Reiner.

Speaker 12 (01:29:09):
Okay, let's see you there, everybody at the news. Jackie
is doctor Harambe MD. I don't believe actual doctor rest
in peace.

Speaker 16 (01:29:24):
The whole Rob Reiner situation was really interesting because I
heard about it yesterday and originally they're not answering any questions,
saying that nobody in custody. True, But almost immediately TMZ
was reporting that sources close to the family say it
was a son and.

Speaker 1 (01:29:43):
It was I guess you've said about his.

Speaker 16 (01:29:45):
Past as a drug act and you know, homelessness.

Speaker 13 (01:29:49):
They actually co wrote uh.

Speaker 16 (01:29:51):
The father and son co wrote a movie called Being Charlie,
which was based on uh, loosely based on his homelessness
and his drug Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
Not only that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:01):
I saw clips today of Rob Reiner sitting there with
his son who allegedly slit his throat, and I'm thinking, damn,
that seems so weird. Now they were doing like a
podcast tour together and the son just exploded on the
father and mother. We'll learn more about this, but the
charges are suspicion of murder so far.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
Here's f berg.

Speaker 22 (01:30:23):
Yeah, Sean, you say you get dizzy when you wake
up in the middle of the night.

Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 22 (01:30:28):
Raise ahead of your bed an inch or two like
put a two by four or brick under the head
of your bed. What it'll solve your problem. Immediately happened
to me. Raise the head of the bed up. Never
been dizzy again.

Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
So I got like a jacked up bed where the
head of the bed is up and the feet are down.
And yeah, no, I can't live like that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:52):
No, I want to I want to not have whatever's
going on, which, if you missed the beginning of the show,
I said almost called out today as I've been getting
this thing mostly in the mornings.

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
I have a theory, but I like when I go.

Speaker 4 (01:31:05):
To lay my head down on the pillow, when I
turn my head around backwards, it's there's a little bit
of like a vertigo dizzy thing.

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
And then if I get up to p in the
middle of.

Speaker 4 (01:31:12):
The night, it's like a video game me trying to
get to the bathroom without falling over. I'm all like
kind of off kilter in a little bit vertigo and
chat GPT said, I might have these ear crystal things,
which Corney's dad's dealt with.

Speaker 1 (01:31:25):
It suck.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
I used to.

Speaker 1 (01:31:26):
Have something like that laying in bed, where if I
laid a certain way and we'd be like, you know,
and then I just have to turn No, but just
how it felt in my in my head like a
like a rush, like do that thing again. But I've
never had the you know, stumbling on my way to

(01:31:47):
the bathroom. Yeah, not in the morning, but I wonder
Sea Lane, I've at night though, I wonder. I've not
looked into this, but I do take my THC drink
before I go to bed, and I was doing like
five milligrams, which is like half a can, and my
five milligram cans because it's almost the same price for

(01:32:09):
the five milligram and the ten milligram THHC can, and
so we just get the ten and.

Speaker 4 (01:32:17):
Then when I have it, I go, Okay, this is fantastic.
I sleep like a baby. But I wonder because I've
been having a little bit more, maybe like six grams
instead of five grams. I wonder if the THHC is
doing this because I keep waking up in the middle
of the night with this, and I'm like, I have
a brain tumor. My father had a brain tumor. Now
I got a brain tumor. Cancer cluster strikes again.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
Oh boy, grew up.

Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
Makes that joke during the roast, which is feel bad.

Speaker 4 (01:32:43):
Yeah you would if I did end up with a
brain tumor right after you roasted me and zing me
with that, you might.

Speaker 1 (01:32:48):
Feel a little bad.

Speaker 4 (01:32:50):
If it is still funny, next year. If you do
a follow up roast after I'm dead, it will really
kill it, will people Just people are saying, you gotta
look up that Epley maneuver.

Speaker 1 (01:33:05):
I know, I know, I saw. That's what chat GPT
told me. I don't know how much I could trust that,
but yeah, that's what I'm writing. Chat GPT is very
very untrustable. Well as a doctor, I think, I mean,
I'm not putting too much faith in that. Right now,
let's go over to Bart versus Bill Bill Gates talking
about Josh's story, John Cena retiring.

Speaker 23 (01:33:28):
There you go, Hey, guys, it's going to talk about
the John Cena fight.

Speaker 1 (01:33:31):
Give me a school.

Speaker 23 (01:33:32):
I've there was a one point in the fight where
Gunther would hit him with like one punch and the
whole crowd would go oooh, And then John Cena would
get another punch in and everyone go yeah. And they
did that probably like four or five times, back and forth.
It was pretty funny. But then, yeah, commenting on the
whole sad face, it was more than just that one guy.

(01:33:55):
They panned to the whole audience when he cried, and
it was a sea of men's disappointment and sad cases.
It was kind of funny, kind of sad, but yeah,
I'm with you. I don't know why he had to
lose his final fight.

Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
Guys, have a good show to every one of you
that makes fun of your wife for crying during keeming
up with the Kardashians or something. If you're crying during
John Cena's retirement wrestling match, you have no room to talk.
Just don't even try anymore. All right, This is Flip saying,
this is Sean's most brilliant idea by far.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
Two things about John Cena because I had to google
him because you're asking how old he was, and in
his description it says he's an American actor, retired professional wrestler,
and former rapper.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
Did we know that John Cena wrapped.

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
Let me see hang on as good? I don't know.
But also, if you google his name, there's one of
those little Google Easter eggs at the bottom, and it's
the hand motion and if you click it, the search
result like the hand comes up and does the the thing,
and the.

Speaker 2 (01:35:01):
Search result just disappears.

Speaker 1 (01:35:02):
Into White's I guess he did a lot of rap
battles in the ring or something, right, John sena music
video a different.

Speaker 8 (01:35:11):
Time, let me tighten it him because everything look.

Speaker 4 (01:35:19):
God almighty will Smith vibes here hang on a right.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
The place ghost things on your hips.

Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
Aside the soul vibe, which change give way with fame,
sometimes the mull change is stayed sand All right, there
he goes.

Speaker 4 (01:35:37):
I don't know if he's retiring from that as well,
but we know over to flip with Shawn's most brilliant
idea by far.

Speaker 24 (01:35:43):
Okay, let's see if I can't stumble through this damn dispatch.
But Shawn, honestly, this is quite possibly the most brilliant
idea you've had since you stole Iheart's idea for doing dispatches.
You know this MutS for murders or pop for prowlers,
or puffs for perverts program that you're gonna spearhead, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:36:04):
I I totally agree.

Speaker 24 (01:36:05):
Let's give these psychopaths a pet out of you know,
these overcrowded shelters, and I n something that loves them unconditionally,
and it would probably it would probably lessen the violence
in this country. I mean, and that's in all seriousness,
great idea.

Speaker 4 (01:36:23):
And if you put a like a heart murder, like
a like a hurt monitor I guess on the dogs,
and you find that the dog is dead, then you
immediately go arrest the person because that's when something bad
is coming.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
I mean, wouldn't they do something like that with pit
bulls and polis?

Speaker 1 (01:36:40):
Yeah? Yeah, which And every time I had a friend
that would I don't know if they said it weird
or I was just hearing it wrong, but I kept
hearing pit bulls and parochis and I was like, ooh,
sounds like a good time.

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (01:36:52):
I I almost lost my mind just I think two
or three nights ago, sitting at the bar and this
young kid comes in and he's looking at the menu
because he's hungry, and he goes.

Speaker 1 (01:37:05):
He goes, I'll take the parogis.

Speaker 4 (01:37:06):
And the guy goes, all right, I'm sure I'll get him,
and then he goes, what's a parogi? By the way,
who orders something doesn't know what it is and then
asks afterwards.

Speaker 1 (01:37:17):
Kind of admire that, I so you don't know the
Polish delicacy that is a perogi. They're fantastic. I would
like to offer that that's that young man some rocky
Mountain oysters. He's never gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:37:30):
He won't see that one coming.

Speaker 1 (01:37:32):
I always look at that, I go, how do you
know it's cooked.

Speaker 4 (01:37:35):
One thing you should know is that every single culture,
from seed to Shining Sea, at all disease between every
culture has found a brilliant way to put something into a.

Speaker 1 (01:37:45):
Pocket of some sort. And those are some of their
best items. Jamaican beef patties, Australian hand pies or meat
pies they call them. Everybody is you, pogis and pans.
Everybody is taking yeah, bows over and over in Japan. Bows.
You can put anything in that had to turn as a.

Speaker 2 (01:38:07):
Couple, they have the other dumpling things. What do you
call those? Gioza?

Speaker 4 (01:38:12):
They have gioza too, That's true, both of those. Yeah, yeah,
they're killing it on the bow front and the and
the pocket front. People put their best foods in pockets,
I think, and that's what you're finding with the parogi.
It's like a poor person peasants food and it's fandamn tastic,
big fam All right, quick break.

Speaker 1 (01:38:30):
When we come back, we will get into.

Speaker 4 (01:38:32):
Those details on that that hero that saved the day
during this attack in Australia. Some terrifying audio as well.
Wait see you hear this. This was a close call
about as close as they get. And it's coming up
next on the news Junkie.

Speaker 1 (01:39:05):
Video. I showed you uh from a celebrity that we've
we've met, you've you've should I yeah, it was in
our it was in our chat thread Instagram from one mister.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
Oh yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (01:39:21):
Did see that guy. That was ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:39:23):
Man, that is quite the custom job this guy had.

Speaker 2 (01:39:27):
Do you know he curses? I don't know he curses.
I think he does. Madus.

Speaker 1 (01:39:33):
Yahoo has a relationship that goes back on the show.
Probably not a good one, but Yahoo. This singer, he
was getting ready for Hanka and he has a like
a Minora bom.

Speaker 14 (01:39:48):
Friends, we are coming into the final hours. It is winter,
it is heavy, it's it's a lot of darkness and
we want to lighten things up a little bit this honka,
so join us as we like this Menora bond.

Speaker 1 (01:40:04):
I mean, come on, it's a Menora bong like it's
got all these little chambers like the little lights on
the Manora.

Speaker 5 (01:40:14):
Now do you move the bowl down for every night
of Hanukkah.

Speaker 1 (01:40:25):
Knocked him out.

Speaker 2 (01:40:27):
You know, doesn't look like a very seasoned.

Speaker 1 (01:40:29):
Smoker if he if he coughs like that, that is
how I would expect to react to the Manora bong.

Speaker 4 (01:40:34):
Or this thing is so powerful Sea Len that if
enormy like me hit it, I would I would be
in the ice, you like, I would completely be out
of it.

Speaker 1 (01:40:44):
That's one way to do it. Man, there it goes well.

Speaker 4 (01:40:48):
Honkah, everybody modest, YEAHU included.

Speaker 1 (01:40:53):
There was a near miss terrifying audio. They say, I'll
play the audio for you right now.

Speaker 4 (01:41:00):
The US had a Jet Blue flight flight B six
eleven twelve, and it was on its way from Curracow
Currosou say, Chris out Blue Curso Blue, Currossow near Venezuela,
and it was going to JFK Airport in New York,

(01:41:20):
and it got close to a US Air Force tanker,
and I guess there was some scare in the air.

Speaker 2 (01:41:27):
Let's listen in.

Speaker 1 (01:41:28):
I've got the actual audio here. Let's see. I believe
I am really I don't hear anything yet, but was
climbing out is usually pretty quiet? Yeah, for furs there
it is.

Speaker 3 (01:41:44):
One went to sure we did that.

Speaker 7 (01:41:47):
Traffics paths directly in front of us, within five miles
of us, maybe two three miles. But it was an
air to air revealer from the United States Air Force
and he was at our El Sude. We had to
stops climb dam of the track.

Speaker 1 (01:42:01):
As you.

Speaker 7 (01:42:04):
They're heading off to the northeast right now, they've passed
directly in our flight pass. We had to stopper climb.
They're not painting these they don't have their transponder turned on.
It's outrageous.

Speaker 1 (01:42:16):
Wow, that's really bad.

Speaker 4 (01:42:20):
So he's saying that basically, there was a huge military
refueling plane that was up there.

Speaker 1 (01:42:25):
Obviously off the coast of Venezuela.

Speaker 4 (01:42:27):
We've got a lot of military activity going on, a
military activity out there has been building in ships and
stuff are off the coast, and we've had commandeered of
Venezuelan ship not too long ago.

Speaker 1 (01:42:40):
And this was a refueling flight.

Speaker 4 (01:42:42):
And this guy in this jet Blue flight said, look,
I was I was taken off or you know, we're
climbing an altitude and this thing was at the exact
height of us. No transponder, no nothing, no, you know,
you weren't aware that was there. And he looked at
he was within a couple of miles of another plane.
And I'll tell you from experience, if you're on a
plane and you see another plane, it's a little frightening.

Speaker 1 (01:43:06):
It's a little mind e fie, unless you're landing because
there's some airports to do. That was one cool thing
flying into San Francisco that I don't know if I'd
ever seen before, but it was like, we were on approach,
we're getting ready to land, and I look out to
the right and there's another plane.

Speaker 2 (01:43:23):
And I was like, that is so cool. You know
it's dual landing. Yeah, apparel, Yeah, yeah, perpendiculars.

Speaker 4 (01:43:32):
Have you ever seen one at like thirty thousand feet
though you're way up there cruising out to I've seen
it before. I'll look, I'll be looking out the window,
just trying to survive the flight, and lo and behold
and I look below me. There's another plane, you know,
flying in the other direction, probably way under us and
safe or whatever. But when you see another plane from
your plane, it's always freaky.

Speaker 14 (01:43:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:43:53):
I'm trying.

Speaker 1 (01:43:54):
I'm trying to google he's He made a comment that
unless the unless the caption got it wrong, I'm not
exactly sure what he was saying. He said, they are
not painting, And I googled painting meaning an aviation but really,
a lot of the answers are just talking about actually

(01:44:15):
the livery or the actual paint on the aircraft itself.

Speaker 2 (01:44:19):
Okay, but he made it.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
Sound like painting is something you do in the air,
and it was something to do with their transponder or
something like.

Speaker 4 (01:44:29):
Making the other planes aware that there's something there else.

Speaker 1 (01:44:32):
The pilot said he was pissed. Yeah, I don't have
so you did not sound as outraged as you should
like that the pilot who is in the air and
just saw this plane, he's.

Speaker 2 (01:44:52):
Pissed, and you were like, you're absolutely right, sir. It
is outrageous that.

Speaker 5 (01:44:56):
What happens talking me like the guy's mad about his
Toshiba handy birk.

Speaker 4 (01:45:00):
This is like when your wife is really pissed off about
something but you're not quite as upset, but you have
to like pretend to be just upset.

Speaker 1 (01:45:08):
This is outrageous.

Speaker 2 (01:45:10):
Absolutely, he says, I apologize that.

Speaker 7 (01:45:15):
You can make a note of it.

Speaker 1 (01:45:16):
We almost up here, Jesus, and that would have been
ripped everybody. Yes, sir, we want to make a note.
Were to make a note writing it down.

Speaker 3 (01:45:26):
Right after Dakota. You will get a brief survey if
you don't.

Speaker 2 (01:45:31):
Stay on the line.

Speaker 1 (01:45:33):
I don't. I don't know jet Blue.

Speaker 4 (01:45:35):
Sometimes when people tell you they're writing it down, like
Sea Lane will like really write down the note for
mode it or something. Sometimes I'll be like Celine put
this on some list somewhere, and the time I do it,
sometimes I I I ask him and I go that
list doesn't even exist. What am I even talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:45:53):
You're never going to remember this right now, But that
was a close call. I was going to bring up
the time Sea Lane has messed up. List definitely exists. Yeah,
I don't think you've got that over there. What happened
to here? You don't have your notes up today? What
the hell is going on here?

Speaker 2 (01:46:08):
My son?

Speaker 1 (01:46:09):
Yeah? You sign there?

Speaker 24 (01:46:11):
You go?

Speaker 4 (01:46:11):
Sign up needs to be activated. Rip Meathead? Why do
they call rob yin or Meathead? Where did meathead come.

Speaker 3 (01:46:18):
In the family?

Speaker 1 (01:46:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:46:19):
Character that's what they called them all in the family.

Speaker 1 (01:46:21):
Oh okay.

Speaker 4 (01:46:22):
Because when I first got into radio, there was a
guy on the buzz on.

Speaker 2 (01:46:29):
Mehead in the morning.

Speaker 4 (01:46:31):
Yeah, well it's Mark Summers, who we've talked to on
the show before.

Speaker 1 (01:46:35):
It was now like a big imaging guy in the industry.

Speaker 2 (01:46:37):
Hear him all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:46:39):
It was Mark Summers.

Speaker 4 (01:46:40):
And then they had a dude who was like an
intern guy named Meathead.

Speaker 2 (01:46:45):
I know, I don't know what ever happened to him.

Speaker 4 (01:46:48):
And then they had like a rotating cast of people
who went in and out like so many other shows
at the time. But there was a Meathead for a
while there when I was a very young He's probably
an older gentleman at the moment.

Speaker 1 (01:46:58):
Now there's just a very successful lawyer or something.

Speaker 2 (01:47:04):
I saw the riding on the wall.

Speaker 1 (01:47:06):
Got out of radio a fog horn leg horn sounding
Southern jurists.

Speaker 2 (01:47:13):
Now these days, one can only hope.

Speaker 4 (01:47:16):
All right, let's see what we got here, and uh oh,
I have This was very weird. This was the press
conference when law enforcement that they announced that the one
suspect they had in custody for shooting up Brown University
was actually being released.

Speaker 1 (01:47:32):
Let's see here, shortly we will be releasing the person
of interest who had been detained earlier today.

Speaker 2 (01:47:41):
And where they.

Speaker 1 (01:47:44):
RUSSI now, Rhode Island, Yeah, I know that.

Speaker 5 (01:47:47):
But informed the community that that individual will shortly be
released from Providence Police.

Speaker 4 (01:47:53):
So this was the guy they had in custody. They
said his name, they said his date of birth. They
said he was a veteran, he went across the United
States to make this attack in Rhode Island.

Speaker 1 (01:48:07):
There were some things going.

Speaker 4 (01:48:08):
Off in my head where I said, this doesn't make
sense now unless they really, really, really really wanted to
target Brown University, why would this person go across the
country to a state with incredibly restrictive laws on guns
and target this particular school.

Speaker 1 (01:48:23):
What's the tie in here?

Speaker 4 (01:48:25):
Apparently this dude wasn't related and they have no one
in custody for shooting up a school, which is just
crazy to me. But that's where maybe they've got some
leads behind the scenes, but they're not talking about it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:36):
I am super distracted by the fact that they.

Speaker 1 (01:48:40):
Misspelled the capital of Rhode Island Providence instead of Providence.
And they look like they're on a zoom call where
they just hit delete background, but instead of putting something fun,
they just had white. Yeah, this whole thing has been
a massive The school.

Speaker 4 (01:48:53):
Principle that we played earlier, or the school president, she
was like, I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:48:58):
These people are like we got the wrong guy. I'm sorry.
It's been kind of a disaster so far. And the
other clip from This is I guess the guy on CNN,
John Berman, he was at Brown University and his son
just happened to be there, like visiting a friend when
all this went down. So he was talking to his
son live on tech.

Speaker 21 (01:49:16):
Joe doesn't go to Brown, but happened to pick last
night to visit one of his best friends who does
go here.

Speaker 1 (01:49:23):
You arrived, your friend.

Speaker 21 (01:49:24):
Told you to meet you in the library, not this
library about five minutes away.

Speaker 1 (01:49:29):
You walked in.

Speaker 21 (01:49:29):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
Yeah, we walked in.

Speaker 13 (01:49:32):
My friend was Zeray.

Speaker 2 (01:49:33):
Let us say.

Speaker 25 (01:49:33):
We were preparing to fill out the entrance form you
had to sign in because we weren't Brown students, And
right in front of us, talking to a different library
clerk was a woman who was very sad on the phone.
Her friend had just seen someone lying on the ground
and said they had to call nine one one oh.
And what happened immediately after was the librarian said they

(01:49:53):
got to lock the doors. Everyone should go inside, get
away from windows.

Speaker 4 (01:49:56):
This is a little bit weird how the reporter is
just staring at his son as he's answering.

Speaker 1 (01:50:02):
That his son looks like he's still processing this.

Speaker 4 (01:50:05):
Yeah, like the CNN reporter instead of also facing the
camera alongside his son is just completely staring at his
interview stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:50:16):
I mean, yeah, it's just it was just something weird about.

Speaker 25 (01:50:18):
People trying to get the safer spaces.

Speaker 13 (01:50:21):
We were up on the third floor, so that's what happened.

Speaker 21 (01:50:24):
And you thankfully decided to call us. So the first
I heard of this was a little bit after four
four thirty, the.

Speaker 2 (01:50:34):
Phone rings, it's you.

Speaker 13 (01:50:36):
Why do you call us? I mean, it's scary.

Speaker 3 (01:50:39):
Why did you call me? Your father?

Speaker 1 (01:50:41):
Did you not want him to?

Speaker 2 (01:50:44):
It's like I was busy.

Speaker 1 (01:50:47):
I was trying to give you the heads up, dad,
I was trying to have the exclusive pop the hell?

Speaker 3 (01:50:53):
Why did you call me this news? Next time?

Speaker 4 (01:50:55):
Yeah, it'd be great, really, Jesus man, that's a little strange.
At least a spelled Providence, Rhode Island right on the
chiron there over on CNN. All right, we're it's a
quick break. When we come back. We got jury duty
coming up. I will get to the hero in Australia
as promised. And a man wakes up at a casino
and says, I don't owe you seventy.

Speaker 1 (01:51:15):
Five thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:51:17):
I don't remember any of that gambling and they said,
oh sir, have we got news for you. What happens
next lands them in jury duty and that is coming
up next on the news chunk key real quick before

(01:51:45):
Jury Duty. Just in case you don't know how that works.
It's so easy if you buy the Roast now or
for your secret show's annual subscriber and you just get
access to it. Obviously, if you buy the audio, you
could just listen to it and drive around and do
your thing. But if you get it on your phone,

close to full quality when you stream from your phone

Just hit that air share or whatever the hell it
is airplay button and then direct it to your television

Speaker 4 (01:53:08):
Jury Duty brought to you by the one, the only
mode wit of the Duit Law Firm.

Speaker 1 (01:53:12):
Injured on the go, just call MO. It's as easy
as that. Eight hundred CALLMO.

Speaker 4 (01:53:16):
Eight hundred CALLMO, or go to just CALLMO dot com
after an accident. There's lots of attorneys out there who
are trying to get your attention.

Speaker 1 (01:53:23):
Because the case is valuable.

Speaker 4 (01:53:25):
But bring that case to somebody who's gonna value you,
who's going to listen to your story and not just
treat you like a number. Some of these attorneys don't
even know what's going on when they show up the
court court and they go tell us what the deal is,
what's what's your story. Don't let that happen you eight
hundred CALLMO eight hundred Como or just CALLMO dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:53:43):
What do you think about this guy?

Speaker 4 (01:53:45):
Hey, gentleman, his name is Michael Duke Thompson and he's
sixty four years old. He is a longtime player at
the Aria Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Nice he's currently
doing the Aria Resort and casino because he woke up
in a security holding area with handcuffs on and was

(01:54:09):
told that he owed owed the casino seventy five thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:54:13):
Can you handcuff a person for that? I guess so.

Speaker 1 (01:54:17):
They said he was leaving the high limit blackjack room
with a few thousand dollars in chips at the time,
and he said that was his last memory. He next
woke up.

Speaker 4 (01:54:27):
The following morning in the Las Vegas casino in a
security holding pen, handcuffed and facing tens of thousands of
dollars and gambling debt from markers.

Speaker 1 (01:54:36):
He does not remember signing. It says he had.

Speaker 4 (01:54:40):
Eight outstanding markers totaling seventy five thousand dollars. He claims
he was completely incapacitated and the signatures don't really resemble
his own signature, and he doesn't think he should be
held accountable. You might be an attorney, sir. You're probably
also not gonna be going to this casino anytime soon.

(01:55:01):
You might be an attorney. But if this worked, this
would be pandemonium at the casinos. Everybody would just go, well,
I don't remember spending that money, so I'm not paying
that off.

Speaker 1 (01:55:16):
I identify as not having spent that money. So that
guy's not even me. Who are you talking about? I
got from last night. So the casino was saying, no,
you has seventy five thousand dollars. A judge will decide
who is correct. We're watching very closely the situation that

(01:55:37):
happened in Bondi Beach in Australia where there was a
terror attack. One brave gentleman jumped up and decided to
disarm the one of the attackers. It was a father
son Islamic terrorist duo out of Pakistan.

Speaker 4 (01:55:54):
I've been living in Australia and this guy said I'm
going to step up and do this. His name is
Ahmed al Ahmed. Easy name, easy name to remember, Ahmed
al Ahmed. He's a forty three year old fruit shop owner.
He was praised for his bravery. President Trump called him very,
very brave. He's been called by the New South Wales

(01:56:15):
Premier Chris Minz as a real life hero who saved
many lives. He grabbed the gun of this shooter. And
this is so crazy to think that he just did it.

Speaker 1 (01:56:25):
There's some videos making the rounds where it shows him
actually doing this.

Speaker 2 (01:56:28):
I think this is some of the footage.

Speaker 4 (01:56:30):
Chair all right, Boom goes up behind the guy and
tackles him while he's got his massive gun. He wrestles
the gun away from him, and then the guy's partner
is terrorist partner started shooting him after he took the gun,
and just unbelievable save probably countless lives just because he

(01:56:53):
was brave enough in the moment. And he told his friends,
as you heard Amy Kaufeld say earlier, he said he
I might die.

Speaker 1 (01:57:00):
I have to do this. It's the right thing to do.
And so he did it.

Speaker 4 (01:57:03):
Now they said, over a million dollars has been raised
for this hero who tackled the alleged Bondi Beach gunman
or one of them, And unfortunately a lot of people
died as a result of this. But it could have
been even worse. So a million dollars a million dollars
in counting has been raised for the person who jumped
up and stopped the attack. So good for him all

(01:57:27):
the way through. Good for him.

Speaker 1 (01:57:30):
All right, quick clip.

Speaker 4 (01:57:31):
This was a moment of the sports world where things
got awkward and the worlds of sports and politics kind
of crossed for just a brief moment, and they were
talking about a player.

Speaker 1 (01:57:44):
Victor wembin Yama. I hope, I hope that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:57:51):
Yeah, So here's here's the back and forth that went
down to the the NBA broadcast.

Speaker 1 (01:57:54):
If ever there was an appropriate nickname the alien. It's
one thing is in a political environment, you gotta.

Speaker 2 (01:58:04):
Watch that word, Michael Grady.

Speaker 4 (01:58:06):
So they call this player the alien, and the guy's like, well,
you got to watch out saying the alien these days
because they're deporting people who are aliens in the US.

Speaker 2 (01:58:15):
They deport those.

Speaker 24 (01:58:22):
Let's go with the different nicknames.

Speaker 1 (01:58:25):
A little weird. I'm not sure how they got to
this point, imported the aliens in this country.

Speaker 4 (01:58:33):
We don't want him deported. No word on whether he
wants all the other people deported, but we don't want
Victor Webber Yama deported.

Speaker 2 (01:58:40):
He says, aliens, no, we're putting alien on the list
of the things. We nah to find another thing.

Speaker 1 (01:58:47):
No, it's fine, aliens.

Speaker 2 (01:58:49):
Fine, everybody knows.

Speaker 1 (01:58:50):
I saw the correction police on some thread. I forget
what even the thread was about. It was something in
history and it was like whether or not this person
owned slaves? Okay, and founding father type person, right it
was sea Lean's grandfather. I think, no, no, no, no, no, no,
My grandfather is yes, that's not at all. He had

(01:59:12):
a bevy of slaves family. Just look at ceiling.

Speaker 4 (01:59:16):
You're gonna tell me the ceiling doesn't look like a
guy whose family had slaves at some point in time.

Speaker 2 (01:59:21):
We're even here.

Speaker 1 (01:59:25):
Sounds like a guilty slave owner right there. Hold on.
And the whole point of the the of me bringing
this up was that there was somebody in the comments that, like,
on multiple comments, replied to correct these people who said
slaves and said no, no enslaved persons, Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:59:47):
And I was like, are we word policing slaves now?

Speaker 1 (01:59:51):
The word police are the most cringey cringe people.

Speaker 2 (01:59:54):
There was a white person that I was doing all the.

Speaker 1 (01:59:56):
Correct It's almost always a light it's all always.

Speaker 4 (02:00:00):
I see it so much on next door, these absolute
brain dead neighbors that I have, and I don't even
know where they.

Speaker 2 (02:00:06):
Are around me.

Speaker 4 (02:00:07):
Some next door the website would imply, and somebody will go,
there's a homeless man out by the school. I was
wondering if anybody home person. I was going to stop
by and try to see if I could help him out.
And somebody responded and they go, it's unhoused. It's onn housed.
And I'm like, go, oh, so one person who called

(02:00:29):
them homeless but had a plan to go try help
to help them out that day, that person is the
bad guy and you get to swing by and go,
actually it's houseless, and you're the good shut.

Speaker 3 (02:00:41):
I didn't get fired.

Speaker 5 (02:00:43):
I'm a dislocated employee exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:00:46):
The word police, the dumbest of the dumb. But they're
out there. Nonetheless.

Hey Data, good to see you out there.

Speaker 4 (02:03:33):
Here is the lovely Lolita says, I spent a ton
on this garage, buddy, and oh it's like one of
those grow it's like a garage door rap where it's
a that's pretty coolive scene on their the garage with
Santa Claus and a motorcycle.

Speaker 1 (02:03:49):
There's a few different options for garage doors for like
the holiday season where you do that. They had some
really good Halloween ones too, but they have like these curtains,
these led curtains you can put on that have all
kinds of patterns and stuff. The problem is, my garage
doesn't face the road, so, like, you know, it's not good.

(02:04:09):
Any of those stuff that I see that are like,
that's cool for a garage, but it would never work
for mine because it would be hard to see it.

Speaker 2 (02:04:15):
So yeah, that definitely could be true.

Speaker 4 (02:04:18):
Let's see this is rate my Santa Present drop off
on night mode. Okay, I mean it's not the greatest photo,
but this is a you went with a lot of
white lights.

Speaker 5 (02:04:31):
Like the concentration of them it looks I mean, the.

Speaker 1 (02:04:36):
Concentration is pretty concentrated, but it looks like you shot
it with a gun under this tree, like shot boom
A thousand lights in there. I had, man, I had
a fool's errand this weekend, but we're hosting Christmas dinner
at our house, and so the top section of our tree,

(02:04:58):
the pre lit tree, had an out, and I was like,
I don't know what I'm supposed to do about this.
Can you buy just a top section of pretree or whatever?
And what I ended up having to do because my
neighbor got this cool little tool that's supposed to help
you fixture your light strands when something's dead, and it
performed some kind of like witchcraft or sorcery where it

(02:05:19):
shoots an electrical signal through the through one of the
things to turn on all the lights so you see
which one is the dead one. I really I don't
know how it works, something about a shunt, but it did.
That part didn't work for mine. I know that part
didn't work for mine, but it had like a line tester,
and I figured out because most of the bulbs on
that part were like dark like they had burnt. I

(02:05:42):
had to replace one hundred teeny tiny bulbs. Whoa Jesus
on this thing. Yeah, I got it work and it's
back to normal.

Speaker 4 (02:05:52):
Here's my cousin Mose, he says, rate my Christmas tree decorations.

It's hard to appreciate in the daytime. You're right, sir,
it's yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:06:34):
It's a runway with Santa Claus on a plane back here.
You know, he's back there in the North Pole plane.

Speaker 1 (02:06:41):
I guess they got tired of the sleigh and the
reindeer and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (02:06:44):
Well, here's a pilot.

Speaker 3 (02:06:45):
Yeah, I like it.

Speaker 1 (02:06:47):

Speaker 1 (02:07:45):
Jump to the beat of the that's that's you know
what that sounds like? What who's the wrestler or just retired?
On John Cena?

Speaker 4 (02:07:54):
John Cena's rap would be jump to the beat of
the song. Probably, Uh, did you see how good of
a job I did on this road graphic.

Speaker 2 (02:08:00):
That I know I do, right, wonderful job, so good.

Speaker 3 (02:08:04):
I didn't know you had such skills I do.

Speaker 4 (02:08:06):
Yeah, Yeah, I did a version of the roast graphic,
and I sent it over to Josh and Selanna and
I said, what do you guys think about this?

Speaker 1 (02:08:13):
Be honest, You're not gonna hurt my feelings. And they're
both like, it sucks. Your fake flames look stupid. It's bad,
and I'm like, okay, well, what do you got, Josh?

Speaker 4 (02:08:23):

the one I was working on. So that's the one
that made me cut over there over on.

Here. This is TD.

Speaker 10 (02:08:39):
Hello, oh Sean ages in stages, buddy.

Speaker 11 (02:08:42):
I am going through the same vertigo kind of stuff
I have been for the last few months. Look up
meppb it's bilateral positional something vertigo.

Speaker 2 (02:08:52):
Can that really be?

Speaker 1 (02:08:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (02:08:53):
And it can have to do with the crystals.

Speaker 11 (02:08:56):
And you can go to a physical therapist and they'll
do a maneuver.

Speaker 10 (02:08:59):
I mean you people do them at home.

Speaker 11 (02:09:01):
I don't recommend that, but they can tilt your head
in certain ways and try to move it. I've been
doing the physical therapy route and acupuncture and it all
pretty much went away and then just came back this week,
so I'm my neurologist because I too thought it was
a brain tumor. The neurologist said, it is the mother
in law disease because it comes on really quick and

(02:09:21):
it can last and stay for a long time. So anyways,
we're growing up, we're getting old, buddy, go.

Speaker 4 (02:09:28):
Better keep by gd that's better than the brain tumor.
I was thinking at first, I'll be at least happy
that it's not a brain tumor, but I appreciate the
information and i'll definitely check that out. There is a
politician who has announced that he's running for governor in Florida.
He's going to run for governor in the Sunshine State.
And this guy said in his post, James Fishback said,

(02:09:53):
I'm running for Florida governor to make the trains run
on time, which a lot of people got mad at
and they said was.

Speaker 1 (02:09:58):
A Nazi thing.

Speaker 4 (02:10:00):
Uh uh yeah, like the Nazis said that we're going
to make the trains run on time.

Speaker 1 (02:10:05):
And then they said that this was like an offensive commercial,
but I haven't seen it yet.

Speaker 25 (02:10:09):
So my name is.

Speaker 9 (02:10:10):
James Fishback and I'm running for Florida governor. I'm here
in Shipley in the Painhandle on tracks that used to
carry Amtrak's Sunset Limited. Allowed families to get a train
right here in rule parts of the Florida Painhandle and
take it all the way down to Disney for Christmas
or Miami for New Year's Sadly that train got canceled.
It became the latest sign that politicians in Tallahassee Democrat

(02:10:30):
and sadly Republican don't care about what happens here in
the Florida Panhandle.

Speaker 4 (02:10:34):
All right, the whole Nazi thing aside, because that seems
like a stretch. When I think about something like this,
I go, how many politicians in the United States of
America are going to try to make the train travel
thing a thing here? I would love if we had
train travel like they have in Europe and in Japan

(02:10:55):
various other places. I would love if we had those
kind of options in the United States of America. Japan
in particular has some pretty nice offa Japan, France, Germany, England,
they have nice options right for train travel. It's fast
as hell, it's nice, it's smooth, it's comfortable.

Speaker 1 (02:11:12):
It ain't gonna happen in the United States.

Speaker 4 (02:11:14):
We failed. We should have done this a long time ago,
but we haven't. So we're waiting for the next breakthrough. Eventually,
they'll be like teleportation or something, and we'll go directly
to that. In fact, they may be trying that out
right now, based on some of the stories that we've
had on the show as of late, where the one
guy said he was teleported immediately into the stolen vehicle,
so that could be on the way.

Speaker 1 (02:11:35):
The trains thing ain't gonna work.

Speaker 9 (02:11:36):
I'm running for Florida governor because I recognize that Florida
is more than just Naples, Orlando in Miami, that we
have to look out for.

Speaker 2 (02:11:42):
The dignity of our neighbors in the Painhandle.

Speaker 9 (02:11:44):
And I'll do that by making a generational investment in
our public schools, creating ten thousand great paying jobs for vocals,
and also bringing back dam Track.

Speaker 1 (02:11:53):
Bringing back the am Track. He says, what are you
gonna do? You're gonna vote for him?

Speaker 2 (02:11:57):
The Amtrak I don't think has gone away.

Speaker 1 (02:11:58):
I mean maybe he's on about more am Track wants
to bring it to the Panhandle. I love Florida, I
love this state, I love this stay. I don't live
anywhere else. I love it. I love it. The Panhandle
is Sucksville, USA. It is a long, boring drive. I
think we should sell it because you didn't stop anywhere. Tabama.

Speaker 4 (02:12:21):
Yeah, sell it to Alabama. They could use it. We
don't need it. We just we're so long. I mean,
Florida is so long. The state is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (02:12:31):
You start in Miami and spend your time driving up
to try to get into Georgia.

Speaker 2 (02:12:37):
I'm not starting key West, starting key West.

Speaker 1 (02:12:40):
You know, you know how long it takes to get
from key West to Georgia. Fourteen days. It takes fourteen
days to drive from key West to Georgia.

Speaker 4 (02:12:47):
It is a feat. It is an unbelievable feat. So
good luck, it's all involved.

Speaker 7 (02:12:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:12:53):
That James fishback guy has had a couple other controversial moments.
He called the aims to challenge Republican Congressman Byron Donalds,
who's the guy who has President Trump's endorsement yep. And
he made some controversial remark where he called him a slave,
which is extra awkward because Byron Donalds is African American.

(02:13:13):
Oh boy, And he says when asked about the controversy.
Following his controversial remark about Donald's being a slave. Fishback responded,
I called him that because he's a slave to corporate
donors and to foreign interest. If Byron Donalds wants me
to stop calling him that, he should return the thirty
million dollars he took from corporate PACs all across the country. Bro,

(02:13:35):
come on, of all the things you could say he's
paid for, I mean that's and you could say he's
a hill h he's a black dude, and you're like,
he's a slave. That's And then that lady on Facebook
or Reddit or wherever just commented enslaved persons with an asterisk.

(02:13:56):
I fixed it, solved everything. There we go. Elon Musk
ends up with a couple losing forty five thousand dollars
in his name. What happened here? Also, the CEO of
the McDonald's is getting roasted for a post he put online.

Speaker 2 (02:14:13):
What did he post?

Speaker 1 (02:14:14):
Is it really that bad? We'll check it out. It's
coming up next on the news junk Kie. There are

(02:14:36):
stories out today from the Wall Street Journal and some
other outlets saying that Christmas music has never been as
popular as it is this year, Like this is the
pinnacle for Christmas music. They said bye last Howiday.

Speaker 4 (02:14:50):
Measuring that, they said twenty of the top twenty five
tracks in the country were Christmas themed, so like almost
all of the songs that are charting out there or
are popular in the streaming services are Christmas themed. The
only non Christmas songs on the list are The Fate

(02:15:11):
of Ophelia by Taylor Swift and Golden from the K
Pop Demon Hunters movie over on Netflix. So those two
randos are popping up, and then the rest of it
is all just absolute Christmas bangers across the list, and
they said it's more popular than ever before. On December one,

(02:15:33):
twenty nineteen, fourteen holiday songs were in the top fifty.
This year, it's double that, all right, it is double that,
and it has never been as big. And there are
some bad Christmas songs too. You know which ones they are.
Stay away from them. You've already played one of them.

Speaker 1 (02:15:49):
I played one of them twice.

Speaker 2 (02:15:52):
Because I've got a shortage of Christmas.

Speaker 1 (02:15:54):
Rejoins so far.

Speaker 4 (02:15:55):
So you'll hear one more today before the show ends,
and then I'll re up on some other ones after
we take a break and all that good stuff. First,
I want to take you about George HENDRICKX, who's.

Speaker 1 (02:16:07):
Sixty nine years old. That's right. George Hendrick sixty nine says,
Oh god, this sounds so sad this guy's story.

Speaker 4 (02:16:17):
Hang on, let me bring the Let we bring this
up from channel six in front of me. This guy
got scammed and he thought that Elon Musk was going
to be involved in helping him out.

Speaker 2 (02:16:28):
He fell for it.

Speaker 4 (02:16:30):
The headline says, Elon Musk giveaway scheme steals forty five
thousand dollars from a Florida couple and a cybersecurity expert
is warning about the rise of AI deep fake scams
and this guy listen to the beginning of this. Eliesburg
couple is out of tens of thousands of dollars after
an alleged car giveaway from billionaire Elon Musk. George Hendrick

(02:16:52):
sixty nine says, quote, his life doesn't really exist anymore
after losing nearly forty five thousand dollars to a scam.
Here's another part to a scam that could cost him
his home and his wife of thirty nine years.

Speaker 1 (02:17:07):
Geez, So, his wife is so piss at him for
falling for this scam that she's gonna divorce him. You
idiot loser, you thought this was really Elon Musk. We
got scammed out of forty five thousand dollars. He says.
She's together for thirty nine years and she wants to

(02:17:28):
divorce him over this. There's always that straw that broke
the Campbell's back, as they say, she wants to get
a divorce, Hendricks said. When asked if that was because
of the scam, he said, yep. The scheme started when
Hendricks commented in an Elon Musk car giveaway group on Facebook,
one of many such groups online, Oh, you gotta be

(02:17:49):
smarter than this. For God's say.

Speaker 4 (02:17:51):
Elon Musk added legitimacy to this, he said. He then
received a Facebook message congratulating him on winning one hundred
thousand dollars and a brand new car. The crooks asked
him to switch over to What's App, a free messaging
app commonly used by criminals because of its private, encrypted communication.
He got a personalized video message, which he believed was

(02:18:12):
from Elon Musk himself, promising delivery of the prize package.

Speaker 1 (02:18:16):
That is.

Speaker 4 (02:18:18):
However, he was told he had to pay seven five
hundred dollars in cash to ship the car, So he said, well,
I'm winning one hundred thousand and a car. I was
sent seven thousand, five hundred dollars to get that car shipped.
He took pictures of the cash and sent it off.
Soon after, he was presented with some investment opportunities promising
returns of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars on a
ten thousand dollars investment. He was a skeptic, though, what

(02:18:40):
a smart guy.

Speaker 3 (02:18:41):
That's when he became skeptical.

Speaker 1 (02:18:44):
This all seems too good to be true.

Speaker 5 (02:18:46):
Through like eighteen red flags on the way there, they said.

Speaker 4 (02:18:51):
He then got another message from Elon Musk saying I'd
never take advantage of you or your funds.

Speaker 2 (02:18:56):
Trust me with your whole heart.

Speaker 4 (02:18:58):
God knows I have no bad intentions, so he sent
them thirty seven thousand dollars more.

Speaker 1 (02:19:04):
Gosh, I feel bad laughing at this guy, But I
also don't really feel bad for laughing at this guy.

Speaker 4 (02:19:09):
Yeah, that is like, come on, man, And I wonder
from the story they show that.

Speaker 1 (02:19:16):
I questioned in bitcoin with Elon Musk. Oh, it's another guy,
I thought his ship is another guy? About all these
people got defrauded?

Speaker 18 (02:19:25):
A retired Leesburg couple loses tens of thousands of dollars
in an investment schemeenty six. Investigator Lewis Bolden he thought
he received a message from billionaire Elon Musk.

Speaker 4 (02:19:35):
Bro Elon Musk is not messaging you, okay, just as
a blanket statement. It's not Elon Musk, it's not a celebrity,
it's not anybody messaging.

Speaker 18 (02:19:44):
But experts say it was faked with artificial intelligence. It's
this week's Schemes and Ripoffs alert.

Speaker 1 (02:19:50):
All right, I want to see if they have the video.
Where's where's this guy?

Speaker 2 (02:19:53):
Is this him?

Speaker 11 (02:19:53):
He looks doesn't really exist because she's on her way out.

Speaker 2 (02:20:00):
His wife the houase is gone. We're gonna be gone.
So ain't much love?

Speaker 1 (02:20:06):
Oh God? Why is Christmas?

Speaker 5 (02:20:09):
Man?

Speaker 1 (02:20:11):
I feel bad for a mask Christmas and nobody's getting
any presents because he sends off all the money that
God knows where.

Speaker 4 (02:20:17):
I know, like everybody will hear this and feel bad
for the guy. And his wife is like, he's a
dumb ass. I told him he was the dumb ass
before I told him he was a dumbass while he
was doing this.

Speaker 18 (02:20:27):
Sixty nine year old George Hendrick says he not only
lost money, but he could lose his home and his
wife of thirty nine years after Crook's condemn out of
nearly forty five thousand dollars, she.

Speaker 1 (02:20:39):
Wants to get a divorce.

Speaker 3 (02:20:42):
Because of this.

Speaker 2 (02:20:44):
Yep, it's got off himself.

Speaker 4 (02:20:46):
Man.

Speaker 18 (02:20:46):
It started when Hendricks commented in an Elon Musk car
giveaway group on Facebook.

Speaker 4 (02:20:51):
I bet his wife was like, it's not real. Stop,
please stop. These things aren't real. I hear about scams
all the time.

Speaker 1 (02:20:57):
On the internet.

Speaker 4 (02:20:57):
He's like, oh, babe, doing this for a while. I
know what's going on here. I know it's real and.

Speaker 1 (02:21:05):
It's not real.

Speaker 4 (02:21:06):
And I'm pretty sure Elon Musk sent me a message
just for me.

Speaker 2 (02:21:10):
Are any of them?

Speaker 18 (02:21:11):
The fact that it was Elon Musk did that add
legitimacy for.

Speaker 1 (02:21:15):
You to me?

Speaker 2 (02:21:16):
I think it to Jill.

Speaker 18 (02:21:17):
He later got this message saying congratulations he was the winner.

Speaker 1 (02:21:22):
Congratulations. This is Elon Musk Tesla. As if Musk is
his middle name, he says, congratulations. This is the actual message.

Speaker 2 (02:21:33):
This is Elon Musk Tesla.

Speaker 4 (02:21:35):
We are happy to inform you that your name has
been randomly selected via your comment on our Facebook post
and page with a sum of one hundred thousand dollars in.

Speaker 1 (02:21:41):
A brand new car.

Speaker 2 (02:21:42):
Hang on, wait a second.

Speaker 1 (02:21:44):
Look at this above it It says ceo X, as
in that's this person's like Facebook name. Huh CEOx is
replying to a comment that you made on a post
in the group class of nineteen seventy five class reunion.
So whoever was doing this was going after the old

(02:22:05):
ose by trying to hit up the class reunion page,
knowing that these people are at an age where they
are on Facebook but probably don't know everything.

Speaker 2 (02:22:20):
You know, probably a good mark.

Speaker 4 (02:22:22):
Like if I was buying into this and I sent
it to you, guys, I go, Josh Sea Lane look
elon musk Tesla sent.

Speaker 1 (02:22:28):
Me this message, I got one hundred thousand dollars in
a brand new car. You guys will go, well, what
are you doing? Obviously this is fake? Right now? Or
to chat?

Speaker 4 (02:22:38):
And do you guys, do you feel bad at all
for this guy? Or is it like, how could you
be so stupid? Your wife should divorce you. Let us
know what you think for sure. Let me see what
else we hear.

Speaker 18 (02:22:51):
From this one hundred thousand dollars and a brand new.

Speaker 1 (02:22:54):
Call I want to see the US.

Speaker 13 (02:22:57):
I just want you to listen to what I'm telling you.

Speaker 18 (02:23:00):
Then came a personalized message from who Hendrix believed was
Musk himself.

Speaker 13 (02:23:04):
I promise for that. You're going to receive your package.

Speaker 18 (02:23:07):
But first he would have to pay seventy five hundred
dollars to get the cart shipped to him, and it
had to be cash. Hendrix took pictures of the cash
and shipped it off, but then he was presented with
investment opportunities. If he invested ten thousand dollars, he could
get back one hundred and twenty thousand. When Hendrick said
he was skeptical, el own's another video.

Speaker 13 (02:23:28):
I'd never take advantage of you or your funds. Trust
me with your whole heart.

Speaker 1 (02:23:32):
Oh god oo, by this, that's so embarrassing.

Speaker 5 (02:23:38):
No, I feel like there was a bunch of other
reasons his wife wanted to leave him, and she finally
had an excuse.

Speaker 1 (02:23:45):
Here, This was it.

Speaker 20 (02:23:47):
How do you look at this and go this is
the problem with AI, folks, This is the problem with AI.

Speaker 1 (02:23:52):
The old o's.

Speaker 4 (02:23:53):
Are gonna get hoodwinked by these, one after another after another.
Anybody under the age of fifty look at this and go.
That's not Elon Musk, not even closed. It's definitely AI.
This is definitely a scam. I'm not giving any of
my money, but this is like, Oh, a dude who
I imagine lived a good life and was successful in
some level to save up some money and stuff and

(02:24:15):
then gets caught.

Speaker 1 (02:24:16):

These are the final dispatches, but Sean will probably only
play look at this go.

Speaker 4 (02:29:04):
This is our last Monday of twenty twenty five, so
happy to see it go. And we've got the rest
of the week here in front of us, But before that,
this is a very dark dispatch from letters Saint.

Speaker 1 (02:29:19):
Here. I started the show saying.

Speaker 4 (02:29:20):
I almost didn't do the show today because I've been
having weird, little dizzy vertigo things when my head turns
a particular way when I'm trying to put it back
on my pillow.

Speaker 1 (02:29:29):
And I chalked it.

Speaker 4 (02:29:30):
Up to THHC, which I drink before I go to bed.
But I wake up in the middle of the night
and I'm wandering all over the place and something's gone wrong.
I thought it was a brain tumor, but everybody said,
don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 (02:29:41):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (02:29:42):
It's this other thing. Even sea leon ceiling.

Speaker 4 (02:29:44):
It's like, oh, you just do this these different things
and it works the problem out of your ear.

Speaker 1 (02:29:49):
Yeah, no no issue. Letter some tea.

Speaker 2 (02:29:52):
Letter Saint says that he junkies.

Speaker 26 (02:29:55):
Speaking of brain tumors. My boyfriend had been having some
issues with vertigo that wasn't going away. A couple of
months ago. He ended up going to his doctor. Doctor
got him an MRI. Turns out he had a brain
tumor and that's what was causing the vertigo because it
was pressing on his brainstone.

Speaker 10 (02:30:15):
A couple of weeks after.

Speaker 26 (02:30:16):
We found this out, he was able to get surgery.
The surgery was a success. Thank god. It was a
benign tumor.

Speaker 1 (02:30:22):
That's good.

Speaker 26 (02:30:23):
And he's now in recovery and doing very well. And
that is the best possible Christmas gift we could have
gotten this year. But definitely, you know, if you have vertigo,
that's not going away. I'm not saying it's a brain tumor, but.

Speaker 10 (02:30:37):
Check it out.

Speaker 26 (02:30:38):
Get it checked out.

Speaker 10 (02:30:40):
You never know what it could be.

Speaker 26 (02:30:41):
Okay, you know, hang in there and get that checked out.

Speaker 2 (02:30:44):
All right, I will do my best over here.

Speaker 1 (02:30:48):
Let's do the final Well, the stories that didn't make
the cut. Let's see I talk about this McDonald's CEO thing,
so may at least bring that up. McDonald's CEO delivers
blunt career advice that might hurt your fee feelings. They
said tough love with the McDonald CEO. Were people really
upset about this? I refuse to believe that they were.

Speaker 4 (02:31:09):
He said in a video posted to his Instagram early
this week, tiled tough Love with the McDonald's CEO. He
encourage people to take full ownership of their professional journeys
rather than waiting on others to open doors for them.
I want to see the video for God's sake. What
the hell's going on here? Instagram Chris God.

Speaker 1 (02:31:27):
Would you guys have known the CEO of McDonald's, No,
like this is one of the biggest companies in the
United States. Chris Kempsinski didn't know him that It sounds
like probably a billionaire who keeps his mouth shut. Yeah,
it might be.

Speaker 27 (02:31:43):
Give you if I wasn't afraid to hurt your feelings,
you're ready for it.

Speaker 1 (02:31:47):
Sure, how to thick skin.

Speaker 27 (02:31:48):
The advice I would give is, remember nobody cares about
your career as much as you do. Sure this idea
that there's somebody out there who's looking out for you,
who's going to make sure that you get that opportunity,
who put you in the right thing. Great if it happens,
but at the end of the day, nobody cares more
about it. You're truer than you do, so you've got
to own it. You've got to make things own it
for yourself. This is the career advice I would give you, Chris,

(02:32:12):
if I wasn't afraid to hurt your feeling that's it.

Speaker 2 (02:32:14):
You're ready for it.

Speaker 1 (02:32:15):
Yeah, that's it. Okay.
