Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
How is everybody doing on odesday? Yeah, we got the
big event tomorrow. Oh my god, man, yep, yep to
the roast event. Sold out roast coming up tomorrow. So
we're excited about that. Lots of stuff going on today,
and we'll just start out as we always do. Let's

(00:22):
put our ears to the ground, our fingers on the
pulse list, see what was happening to this great, big,
wide world of ours, and let's go to the world
of sports. Everybody else where we along. We belong in
the world of sports. In fact, I don't know if
you guys knew that, but ESPN called us the other
day and they were like, we don't like to.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Talk about it a lot.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
We know you are the best of the best at
this and we we will forever have to be enemies
because of it.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
And we're my god, you guys call us every week
to say the same thing.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
We know, we know we have us alone, all right, enough,
stad up, we go to a man on NBC Sports
who he's very unsure of when he should start talking
on live television.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
So that happens.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
He stares directly at the camera awkwardly, until, of all things,
the ref does that what to call him in basketball,
so's the referee at The referee in basketball hits him
on the acid, tells him to get the hell off
the court.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Here we go staring at the camera, just looking. Tonight's
game marks.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
The sixty first time that hurry is played against Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Hold on, I'll go back.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I want to pump up the volume a little bit here.
Grant Liftman is the guy's name. And the ref comes
over to Grant Lyftman, who is just staring at the camera,
and the ref hits him on the ass and goes,
get get off, get off the court.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Tonight's game marks the sixty first time.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
He slaps him on the ass. Get out of here, Greg.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
And is there a difference between like, hey, you did
a great job during the sport, like smack on the
butt versus get out of the shot? Well, is there
a bit of a grab when you're doing well as
an athlete.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I'll have to tell you personally, I'm a bad person asked.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
This question because you're grabbing everyone to ask.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Us that happens in the sports world. And I haven't
had many as laps in my time.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
I have not had like most of mine have been
outside of the sports world just extra sport.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah you care to expand on that anymore? You just
want to leave it right there?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
A few Tom all right, hot.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I only regret that I talked over that a little bit.
That's the truth. Sent in the morning.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Grant liked it.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
I think you know it comes up for him a
little bit there. Get off the court, sir. We're playing
a basketball game. What's this weird like blowback? I'm sure
this is going to be part of it. But there's
a bunch of people complaining about this return of the
NBA on NBC, and they're like, the team games are

(03:01):
messing up.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh yeah, I'm screwing up left and right.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
God forbid a new broadcast team. Have a couple of
bumps here and there, it's gonna happen, everybody.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
What kind of bumps?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I guess there was some mics cutting out, and there's
been more little issues here and there.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
They got a bunch of brand new, you know, nice
looking trucks that they're sending all over the country.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
So clearly the budget was used for the trucks and
the overall purchase, and they only had a little bit
for the talent.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
They still don't have as much as Amazon does for
the Prime games.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Have you seen the setup that they have? Oh my god,
it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
This is for real. This is for you folks watching.
I'll describe it for everybody else when the NBA games
are on Amazon Primes, right, you got those.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
The people up there got it like the target on
the other end the NBA. We call this the pre switch.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
This is some defenses that try to target so so
far just looks like a regular broadcast. This is a
massive screen that they're standing.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
We did the basketball. This is bridges ready.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Sts out, whoa are you serious?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Guys? Is going on here?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
They're walking around on a virtual basketball courts and it
puts circles underneath them like their players in a video game.
And they're walking around like showing how these plays.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
This is showing off and they're not showing anything but off.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
And you know what, they got that l ed floor
because of all the Amazon purchases.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Folks like us probably we paid for a good portion
of that.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
It turns everything into a massive video game or something.
And then he's got an iPad that he's like connected
to this giant screen wheel Like so I would imagine
if you're a NBC youre going, how come we don't have.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
One of those? Yeah, where's our thing?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
We were like one a Are they going to just
throw run an invisible ball?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Does he have a ball?

Speaker 4 (05:04):
I don't know if they there's a ball denoted on
the floor somewhere.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, yeah there is.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
With what he's here, I don't know, you know, And
honestly I didn't watch. I don't know where it goes,
but yeah, they go out there. It's just a giant screen.
It's it's been pretty common that in these sporting broadcast areas,
as they call them, the background is a massive screen.
It's massive on you know, cable news and all these
other words. But the floor, the entire floor of this
place is like an incredible.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Screen that they're all walking on. Cool.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I mean, maybe it's just like a green screen on
the ground or something.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
We're getting to buy that it's led like they could.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
See it, like they're walking on top of it.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I'm not sure how it's working, but it's pretty crazy
over there, so maybe they're mad about that.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
The runner up.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
By the way, I should at least show you guys
this if you haven't seen it going mega viral already.
This is allegedly from a drone show in Atlanta. Have
you seen this? Have you seen the Atlanta? All right,
I put this up on see it now. So since
we're visual heavy, here, take a look at this when
you get a chance.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Okay, a drone show in Atlanta. Here you go.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
All right, it's coming together. Yeah, you see the drones
lining up in formation, and.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
So much joy of drones.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Like a twirking lady with a big ass doing a
handstand and she's.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Made out of drones.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
We have peaked, we have peaked, We got basketball courts, screens.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Does she shake your ass or is just like that?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
It just kind of moves around.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Let's drone engineers and let's get that booty clapping please
right next leup.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
But the problem is the height of this world, I
think is at like the theme.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Parks, and they don't really have the balls to do this.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
They this is it not in their terrortory, not family friendly.
All right. We have so many things to talk about.
We'll talk about these escape lab monkeys. We'll get to
that in a bit here, and everything else in the
the intro, and so many more things today on the show.
But one of the biggest things making waves online that
it's going viral basically everywhere you might look.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Over the next couple of years.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
It's something you could buy if you want, but I
want to see how everybody feels about this. Okay, so
buy or pass over on chat. Let us know if
you will going to buy or pass the new product
that was just announced you can order today. It is
Neo the Robot, a literal robot that you buy for

(07:27):
your house. Neo the Robot will do your dishes. Neo
the Robot will do chores around the house.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Neo the Robot is terrifying looking.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Neo the Robot is an adult size. I'm gonna give
you a little bit of the promos. You can hear
what this thing's all about. So basically, I Robot. This
is I Robot.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Literally literally I Robot. Here, here it is.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Here's the thing that released yesterday. This is real now okay.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
Here's a humanoid companion designed to transform your life at home.
It combines AI and IT advanced hardware to help with
daily chores and bring intelligence into your everyday life.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Neo is engineered from the ground up for safety. It's
ten to driven body.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
It's quiet and lightweight, tench emotions make it uniquely safe
for you and your home.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
All right, So this thing is five foot six okay,
it's a robot. Comes in a couple of colors. You
can get a gray one, a short wearing it is.
It's five six This is sixty six pounds, all right,
that's how much the robot weighs. Five six sixty six pounds.
It lasts for four hours. The body of the robot

(08:33):
is soft and made of three D lattice polymer, and
it's got cameras and speakers and four microphones, and it's
just loaded up with tech. Right.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I mean, it's a.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Standing robot, arms legs, the whole boot like. This is
literally the science future we've seen in movies. And Neo
is the name of this robot. So let's see what
else they said in this demo here. Because this is
just incressible.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
Safe doesn't mean limited. Neo's hardware comes packed with features.
Let's get the level nexsterity and a fifty five pound
caring capacity so they can handle any of your chores reliably.
We also worked really hard to make Neo's design friendly
and comfortable to be around. Each Neo comes with the
machine washable knit suit ahead.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
And it's gonna wash.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Its own clothes. I'm saying, yeah yeah. And you're going
to do its own laundry, Yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
I mean, if he's got washable clothes and he can
wash clothes, I would expect Neo to be doing this work.
They're saying it looks amazing. I would buy one. The
reasons one point two million.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's not.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
It's not one point two million. I'll tell you the
price on this in a second. So this thing, could,
you know, pick up your your deliveries. So let's say
that you order a bunch of stuff. You order a
big bag of rice, cat litter, a couple of car batteries,
as one does.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Do you recent order from Amazon?

Speaker 1 (09:57):
I had to get it from somewhere, so I figured
that was a good And the door, you know, somebody
shows up the door. It's the Amazon delivery driver and you, oh, man,
I'm not home. Your little Neo robot guy to the
front door. I don't know if it can yet, but
it can open the front door. It can pick up

(10:17):
all your packages, bring it inside, stack your packages up
wherever you instruct it to, and get ready for the day.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
It said it has a fifty five pound capacity for lift. Yeah,
that thing could pick up Jackson, yes.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Right now, Yeah, yeah, Neo the Robot babysitter.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
But potentially let's see.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
If they in the room shaking Jackson.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, this is a little really.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
I don't know if they've hired out all the kinks
in the software just yet.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
My guess is that the for insurance purposes, the folks
that are designing Neo the Robot specifically programmed it not
to pick up human babies.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
This is crazy, though, it's absolutely we all get this
up on c it now too. But this is a
real human size robot that has gone on sale right.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Now called the Customized to fit your style.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
As for using your Neo, we made the experience simple
all right out of the box. The core of your
experience is fully autonomous.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Oh dude, it's like born in a little egg. There's
like a robosird.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
What are you supposed to do with that? Leave it
on the curb.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Just I want you guys to play a log here,
hold on, go the website after like John Hammond style,
push push, yeah, any break open the egg. Go to
the websites. You guys can see this thing. It's legitimately real.
Go to onex dot tech, one x dot t e
h slash. Well, I guess if you just go to

(11:40):
the site, you'll see the order or form and all
that stuff. You can pick the color. I'll go back
to the promo video in a second. But you could
you could get it for five hundred dollars a month
or twenty thousand dollars and deliver it.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
To your house.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Seems low?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah, yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Or is a subscription so.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, you could do twenty k if you want to
buy it, or you could do the monthly plan. But
does that plan do you own it at the end
of you know, the right amount of great question?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Forty months.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
I mean they're saying just three bullet points attached to
a twenty thousand dollars bill is ownership with three year warranty,
premium support, priority delivery.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
That's okay, Well, it is new, it's brand new. They
just launched this. I want to know more about what
this thing's going to do for us, because everybody's saying
they want it. I want it, says Tony. Everybody sying
they're wanting it.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Creepy.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
They just dropped the Honestly, well, this.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Is if you look at on the website onex dot
tech slash Neo, and that the first thing of the
guy with his arm around it. It is one of
I think the lesser creepy of the robots that I've
seen is.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
It because it doesn't have a mouth. It only has
has two eyes on it.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
So this you can get in three different colors gray, white,
and black, I believe, And it's five 't six.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
It's human like.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
The face is kind of sweet looking because it only
has like two button eyes.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
The button eyes are kind of creepy.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
And then big blowing circles for ears. It's like ahead
of a smart speaker or something kind of thing. And
now you get it at your house and look, oh,
it's got accessories.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
It's got its own room.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
It's got Neo's got his own room with his own
like accessories and boots and extra clothes.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
And getting the vibe that their demo at least off
the bat is older people.

Speaker 6 (13:31):
Uh huh?

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Is it only a three year warranty because they're not
being around five years?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Could an old person do this?

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I think the old person would get the egg delivery
and be like, my neo humanoid robot, what do I
do now?

Speaker 2 (13:49):
What does it do for me? Well, let's see.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
Out of the box, the core of your experience is
fully autonomous. The chorice feature, let's your schedule a time
for your neo to do all of your chores so
you can come back to a cleaner vacuuming. With the
AI Companion feature, you can talk to your neo to
get as system.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Oh dude, it shows it with the old guy and
it's getting his medicine.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's no.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Now real question though they're rolling it out. They say,
you know, early twenty twenty six. But these commercials so
are human and robot costume?

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Uh right, Yeah, they're suggesting that this is really Neo,
the five foot six or whatever robot, that this is
not like some sort of some sort of a person
in the costume pretending to you know, move around like
a robot.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
There's more on what this thing does. Well, here's what
we'll do.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
We'll take a little break and when we come back,
I'll give you the full rundown of the features of
this thing, and we'll talk about if you would ever
get one of these in your house. It's kind of crazy.
It just like pops out. Hey, By the way, you
can buy a humanoid robot now there's a controversy over
something at sea Lane watched recently that we've got to
talk about some emails, rolling in a lot of stuff

(14:58):
to get to today.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Honest, a very busy day on the show.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
We're gonna have some fun, so do come along with
all of that is coming up next on the News Junkie.

(15:22):
This could be just nothing, just a blip out there,
or it could be the introduction to the inevitable future
where robots are absolutely everywhere. And I'm talking about this
product that they just kind of dropped.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
On us this week. They're like, hey, you know, nothing
going on.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
To the news cycle other than some hurricanes smacking Jamaica.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Let's pop something out there. Oh here you go, by the.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Way, you could buy a robot and the robot will
go around and do your chores at home. And you
just go to a website and you're like, okay, I
want either the white one or the I don't even
know if this is like a gray one or a
black one.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
And it's just so interesting because something technology like this,
you think a teaser and it'll be available if you
put down a deposit in twenty thirty and they are
prepared to do this in less than six months have
them led out?

Speaker 1 (16:12):
They say twenty twenty six. US delivery start in twenty
twenty six. And the question that's been firing up chat
is would you have a robot like this in your house?
And I'll tell you when I saw this and I'm
looking at this neo robot for twenty thousand dollars, Courtney's like, no, no,
It's like, I don't want a robot in our house.
I don't want a robot one wrench. She goes to
staying in the studio.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
What about for months?

Speaker 1 (16:34):
She goes, I go, but it can do like the
dishes and the chores, and it could. And She's like, now,
I don't want that thing around here. And it's twenty
thousand dollars and I could find better ways to spend
that money.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
She said, I have I think a different take on this.
You and Courtney are home more than I am. Probably yeah, yeah,
so I would think this would be awesome to go
all right, I h you know, I get get the
baby ready and uh hop in the car, leave. Robot
does all the dishes, vacuums, right, you know, does a

(17:09):
bunch of cool stuff. And then after work, I have
a great looking home to come home too, and I
can focus more on getting doing stuff that I want
to do, hanging out with the baby. I don't have
to like quarantine him in the living room while I'm
doing dishes.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
That's that I mean, as anti robot as I am,
that's how I kind of feel about it.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Oh yeah, I mean when I would by.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
This guy away like I would, I would walk him
in a room.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
When I'm not there like a roomba, and then when
I'm when I'm gone, I.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Have a guest room that's not being used. As long
as this robot can go up and downstairs, it can
just walk in there.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
And plug itself into a charger for the night. I
would never have to see it.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
It is looking out your front window and you see
a robot walking car picking up this poop.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, right right, totally possible. I mean for real. And
see if this is a what about called neo that
is real?

Speaker 1 (18:02):
You can order it and it's about five foot six
would they say fifty five or sixty pounds and.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Weighs sixty six pounds and it can hold up to
fifty five.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
So it could pick up bags of stuff from your groceries.
Cat litter, you know, whatever it is, pick up your
stuff and bring it inside, and it's just very weird.
I want to go to the promo video for this because.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
I want to know more of the season questions.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
But they show it with like an old dude, which
is such a dystopian, weirdo future. It's like the old
guy has a robot best friend, and the old guy's like, uh.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
These the pills I take today. Yeah, that old guy
was around for the invention of color television. Now it's
never interacting with a robot.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
I also want to see in this.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
I haven't heard from Neo, so I want to know
what NEO sounds like too. So we'll get through this
and then we'll make our decisions. Do we want one
of these twenty thousand dollars robots in our house?

Speaker 5 (19:00):
Here we go with anything from a hard question to
a household task with neot access to all its features
to get help with tasks on demand, and the Neo
app lets you interact with your Neo from anywhere. But
all you have to do to get started is turn
on your Neo and introduce yourself.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Okay, all right, he shows up in an egg, so
the robot comes to life.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
I'm Neo. I'm here to help around the hell that guy,
guess what's your name? A nice to meet you, Harry
when you have a question or want something done.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Oh my god, he wants to bang the robot real quick.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Just just so you know, this guy is looking dead
in the eyes of his brand new robot Neo that's
five foot six and he is about what you say,
eight inches ten inches from his face.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Is And then he's sizing it up like a little
drool is about to come out of his mouth.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Maybe he's trying to intimidate the robot. He's like, look,
just so you know, I still run this place.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, romo, bitch.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, you ever get hacked or do something stupid, I'm
gonna really smash it to bits, buddy. So he's meeting
the robot. He's meeting the robot, let me know. Okay,
So the wife meeting it, she's trying to hide from it.
It follows her around even if she's as close as
you got. All Right, chores, what kind of chores could

(20:25):
this thing do?

Speaker 5 (20:28):
We built the chorest feature to give you your time back.
You give your Neo a list of chores, you schedule
a time that you want them done so that you
can focus on what matters to you while your neo
doesn't see.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
This is exactly what Celin was saying.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Like you say, hey, I'll be doing the news junkie
radio show from this time to this time. While I'm
doing that, I have a huge pile of laundry right here,
and the trash.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Needs to be taken out.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
And then the robot goes mess address eved and does
the all the work and then thetelene comes back.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
It's just done.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Now do they have some fun options? I hope maybe
some people need companionship, or they just bought a ping
pong table. I need actually use it.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Well do you think? What do you think the chances
you trying to hear about your ping pong table?

Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's very sad. I was so excited once I got
in and realized after in boxing, I had no one
to play with.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
You need a neo.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Now you're just twenty thousand dollars away from a partner
to this ping pong with you.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
What do you want to bet? Shoot? I wonder if
they do show up playing ping pong.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
I think at least they'll show up playing like chess
with an old man.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
I think they'll be like.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Companionship and kicking his ass in chess.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
And they'll have the neo sitting there, and then you
could probably like set it to beginner, intermediate or advanced
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Let's see what they do.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
You can schedule chores, but by either talking to your
neo or using the app. The way it works is
you schedule a time that works best for you, and
then you create a list of chorices. Whether it's something
more specific, what do I want to plants on Tuesdays,
there's something more general like tidying the house, NIL will
get it done at the scheduled time. If there any
chores that your neo hasn't learned how to do autonomously,
you can use expert mode to have an expert from
one X supervise the session and provide corrective internment.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Okay, great, So somebody at HQ watches the robot through
its camera eyes and watches it move around the house
and do whatever your chores is.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
This is where I'm feeling people fall off.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yeah it's so weird. The house is a mess, but
my underwear is perfectly folded.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah that's a little invasive. I think you got this
thing spying on you and at HQ they're robo controlling a.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Task all right.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
It's doing laundry, tiding it up, picking up stuff from
around the house. It's all useful stuff, time savers, arranging
the shoes, cleaning the bedroom.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
How is it picking up toys? It's vacuuming with the
dice and vacuum.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
Anytime you're away from home and you want to see
what your neo is up to, you can open the
app and see directly from neo's point of view.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Oh wow, you can check in on it. That's cool.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
That loves school. But then you open up your phone
and it's staring into the mirror right at you.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Sad neck.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
It's now come to life that this could happen. So
these are just half on it.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
We'll do the monthly. No, we'll get it for like.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Oh yeah months, and then we'll abandon it.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
Up, go away in your pod.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
I mean, I'm I think it's interesting. I want to
know if people would allow it to these into their house.
They show it washing dishes, you know, they show it
like cleaning the bathroom and all that stuff that you
can ask it questions like hey, this this old man
saying I can't seem to find my glasses, and.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
He was like, your glasses were dis covered and that
you know. Uh. Then the old guy goes Africa.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
No, it's cayenne pepper, and your glasses are on your shirt.
Can we hear this? I wonder if they actually show this.
Here's some interactions. They don't have to do any work now,
so they're just chilling. They're just hanging out on the couch.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Healthy rich.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
My companion, they got a twenty thousand dollars robot, whole thousands.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Now I can't see to find my glasses. Is this paprika? No,
that's cayenne pepper. Also, your glasses are on your shirt.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
That's weird, man, that is weird. Oh, let's see if
there's anything else. Artificial intelligence. Oh this, this shows it
playing cards, I think, which it.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Says on the companion section.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Ask neo questions and get instant access to knowledge, personalized intelligence,
or even a joke.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Oh you can.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
You can ask it anything, history, recipes, advice and get
real time answers.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
That's probably more of an AI. Thing.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Pairs visual and spatial awareness with memory to personalized interactions, shares, joke, stories,
and games.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
That does say games.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
I don't know what kind of games for lively natural conversations.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
I'm curious.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
I've only seen holding stuff a couple times in this video.
Does it seem to have five digits as far as fingers?
I know, I saw a thumb in there, but are
the rest of the fingers like fully kind of?

Speaker 2 (25:10):
I think?

Speaker 7 (25:11):
So?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
This is an actual product that you could buy right now,
five foot six robot that does chores in your house.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
And in this case, they have it opened the door.
So let's see if they show the.

Speaker 8 (25:20):
Hand get the door here he goes, walks over. It's
not super fast, but it's not and he gets the door.
He opens the door for the guests too.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Oh my god, he's got a gun. Neo's autonomy works
by taking requests like a.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
New can you take this cup to the sink?

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Oh my god, people are gonna be so fat and
lazy as already the memes are rolling in, by the way,
people are saying, how long until we get to this
and Neo has made a move on the guy's wife
and Neo in bed with men.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
I don't know, I can his fingers or not. That's
very important. If that's the case.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
That true. Yeah, gotta see how equipped this neo is
right now. I mean for twenty grand, really, twenty grand
doesn't seem that bad. But folks, there you go. That's
kind of the rundown on this. A few people talking
about it. Marquis Brownlee, the tech guy, says, so to
be clear, this is a pre order for a humanoid
home robot that will cost twenty thousand dollars or five
hundred dollars a month when it may be ships next year,
and currently is not finished. Johannastern got to do a

(26:33):
demo and its current state and one hundred percent of
his actions are tele operated. I say that I see
this as more of a hype real for a thing
that they're hoping to be able to make some day,
which is becoming so common with products these days. So
he's saying that it's not yet there. That's what his
kind is one of the tech guys.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
Tell operated means one hundred percent of the things that's
doing are somebody's controlling it.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, this person was at the launch. I was at
the Neeo Neo launch last night Palo Alto. For this
real it was the first time a humanoid felt actually
safe to be around, lightweight, soft, padded body compliant movements.
It felt like something I could actually live in a home.
She said, So all right, there you go. Now you
know you could buy one if you want. Will you

(27:14):
have a robot roaming your house and doing your chores?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Or is this a big fat no for you? Let
us know what you think.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Join the show today, record a dispatch at the Newsjunkie
dot com, or email the show tips at thenewsjunkie dot com.
There you go. When we come back, we'll get into
some drama over something at Sea Lane just watched. I mean,
this is high level drama and somebody was injured at
a theme park again in the most bizarre way you

(27:41):
could ever think of. In fact, you probably wouldn't think
of this, But that is coming up next on the
News junk Key. Sea Lane recently watched this movie. Seems

(28:07):
like it's a stinker. He doesn't seem to be a
fan of it.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
It was still number one.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
On Netflix like yesterday or the day before, like after
after my review of it.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
I didn't take it down. You didn't take it down. Yeah,
this is this, trust me. It's called The House of Dynamite.
I guess which is Idris Elba, who's it's strange because
he's a fantastic actor, but he has been picking some stinkers.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Man face.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
That was a great paradise, was a good show.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
But as far as movies, he was in that movie
with uh with uh. Yeah, that was a different guy,
a different black dudes robots black as you can say that. See,
I thought it was wrong to pick the black robot.
I thought that, well, that felt like a bad thing.

(29:01):
But John Cena and Idris Albat were in that movie
I think on Netflix perhaps or maybe another service, and
that was a bomb. It was bad, bad And now
Eadress Alba picks this movie that is a house of
dynamite and Selan says, you know, it's not good. It's
not a good movie. But you're not the only one
that didn't appreciate this. The US Pentagon is pissed off.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
About this movie.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
The Pentagon is mad about this. A house of dynamite
movie that is isn't on Netflix. Yes, and hold on,
they bring this up houses Dynamite.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Now, the is the Pentagon mad because it would imply
in the movie that the US is less capable of
handling something like this than the movie. Because it's not
like they can reveal any secrets. They would have to
be told the secrets to reveal them.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, This is just a
it's a work of fiction.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, I mean they say the fictional the fictional interceptors
in the movie miss their target. And we understand this
is intended to be a compelling part of the drama,
intended for the entertainment of the audience. This is a
memo from the Pentagon about this this movie. It goes
on to note that interceptors have been shown to be
one hundred percent accurate and tests for several years, and

(30:20):
also disputes the fifty billion dollars price tag given in
the movie for their costs. So they're mad because, like
you just said, Zeelane, like it makes the United States
seem inept at defending a missile attack on the homeland.
And the Pentagon was like, hey, not only do we
think this movie is crap, but it's fake and we're
mad about it right now.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
I mean, they didn't really have to be all technical
about it. All they had to say was, listen, we
watched the movie. It's very unlikely that the technology we
have would not you know, keep us safe from one missile.
That's which is the plot of the movie, is that
there is a whistle inbound that looks like it's going

(31:02):
to hit Chicago and they're not totally sure where it
came from. And like they said in the memo, uh,
they they're kind of spoiling a little bit. But ueah uh,
there's there's even bigger spoilers and they're they're very disappointing.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
The whole thing. The whole thing.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
What they what they sort of spoil a little bit
in this memo is that there are I think two
failed attempts to launch something to intercept this missile in
the air before it could be in a dangerous spot.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Right. Yeah, I've got the response from the people who
created this in just a moment. But A Penny on
YouTube says House of Dynamite was absolutely horrible. Not not
a great reviews coming in so far. Simply Jeremy on
YouTube says, yeah, I don't agree with Sean.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
The movie was good until the ending.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
The ending sucked, but the movie itself was pretty good.
To be clear, I haven't seen this movie, so you
can't disagree with me.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
You disagree with me.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
Simply Jeremy And that's fine, that's totally fine. But in
my opinion, uh an ending can be so bad that
it invalidates decent parts of the movie, Like was it
well acted?

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yes? Like is Interest Elba good in it? Sure?

Speaker 4 (32:22):
But like you can have like, you know, Interest Elba
as this really great tool which is his acting ability,
by having a really nice car, and you can be
really terrible at driving it.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
True. Yeah, compare fact, drive it off a cliff.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
And this was the equivalent of Netflix driving a car
off a cliff is what.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
You're really really nice expensive one?

Speaker 3 (32:48):
You know what that means a monthly subscription price will
go up?

Speaker 1 (32:51):
And just probably ran on YouTube says, maybe Trump will
shut down Netflix. Well, here's the people who created this
series House of Dynamite that the Pentagon is mad over
because it makes the US look like we would lose
or that we wouldn't shoot down missiles. Catherine Bigelow, She responds,
and she says, I just state the truth. Here's her comment.

(33:13):
I just state the truth in this piece. It's all
about realism and authenticity. Same with Zero Dark thirty and
same with hurt Locker, even though hert Locker was obviously
a work of fiction, and this is a work of
fiction for me. These are pieces that lean in hard
on realism. You're inviting an audience into, say the battle
deck of Stratcom. That's a place that's not easily accessible.

(33:34):
So I wanted to feel authentic. That's my goal, and
I think we achieved it. That's what she says of
the Pentagon's criticism of a House of Dynamite, which kind
of like was a deflection.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Yeah, it's like saying, Hey, I'm just making a movie
about us failing. This is how real it would be
if we were big fat, stupid failure.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yes, whole lot. I haven't seen this heelan.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Did it make the United States look an ept or
like we were we were useless in the face of
anybody bombing us?

Speaker 2 (34:02):
I didn't really.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
I mean, I guess if you take the if you
look at the Pentagon's take on it, it kind of
but it just it says that we had we had
preventive measures and they failed. Yeah, and it did not
explore any other preventative measures, one of which was kind
of a little bit obvious in my head. But you know,

(34:28):
it's it's also like it's kind of weird.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Though because it's a movie, Like, of course there's the
potential that we wouldn't be able to shoot something down,
and that's what they're exploring.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
If they're not like the.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
United States is the worst country in the world and
all of our military as losers, they're not doing that.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
We missed one of those Chinese balloons with a pretty
expensive missile.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah, I think it was more than once did. This
is a work of fiction, and if the authorities that
are the US Pentagon can't wrap their heads around it,
that is kind of scary.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
I'm just interested in why they were so offended. And
I didn't see the movie, so if it's not just
slamming them and they're just kind of nitpicking that like
will they be mad if we had a top gun
and then in top gun like the US didn't win
or something like, I don't know that you could do
that way you can. It just seems weird. Let us
know if you've seen this a house of dynamite. The

(35:24):
Pentagon is is upset over it. Are you did you
like it? Maybe you liked it. Somebody's got to like
this stuff. Let us know what you think. Send a
dispatch over at THENEWSCHUNKI dot com right now, real quick.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Body's got to like it because it's got a seventy
seven percent popcorn Meter, And I find that really crazy.
How many review I get seventy? Wait, which if popcorn.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Meters the viewers, right, I always say audience and critics,
But I.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Don't know what the I thought it was too.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah, I say audience score is the one usually on
the right where like just people vote.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
In the critics, it says one hundred plus verified, which
is not a lot.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
I guess is two hundred and five reviews. Uh huh, Yeah,
that that's low reviews.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
I think a lot of times these productions will review
bomb new stuff, and they'll go in there and like
kind of set it up so it's so great. Yeah,
this is fantastic. I've seen it happen. Cordy found movies.
A horror movie. She found a horror movie. I think
I talked about it afterwards, and it had one hundred
percent Rotten Tomatoes, well over one hundred reviews. She goes,

(36:31):
we got to watch this. It's like a low budget movie,
but it's so highly rated. And when we watched it,
I go, something's not right, and she goes, yeah, you're right,
And we realized that what they did was they filmed
the entire movie and then they went back and re
recorded the script with microphones because the audio didn't sound good.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
I feel exactly what movie you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
They were like pantomiming on the.

Speaker 6 (36:54):
Right.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, but in the twenties.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Enough for the entire film, like an outside shot.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Maybe, yeah it was.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
I just don't trust it. But I'm on Netflix right
now because I want to. I want to find the
actual thing that I read before I watched this. Now
now it's just showing it to me and I don't
want to watch it. I'm trying to find the page
for it. And has to dynamite more info that a
missile on an origin has launched the United States and
Catherine Bigelow's exceptionally powerful and brilliantly directed thriller. I think

(37:25):
there was another another quote that was like basically saying
this is just as thrilling as a horror movie or.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Something that I was like, all right, uh, nope, uh.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Well, some people liked it.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
They might have been attached to the film, they might
have been lighting in sound, but they liked it. Nonetheless,
we'll hear your emails. I got one all cute up here,
ready to go. We'll get to that in a bit.
We'll also get to this accident in a theme park.
You would never guess that somebody would be really badly
injured like this, but this happened for real, So let's
talk about it. That's coming up next New US Junkie.

(38:17):
This time it's SeaWorld where there was an incident. And
you've had different incidents at these theme parks across the
span of the year. Here the person who died on
the Stardust Racers ride at Epic Universe. You had several
people now that have died in the last two weeks
on Disney property and perhaps some other things going on there.

(38:40):
And in this case SeaWorld where there's a roller coaster
and I've never been on this, but have you guys
been on the Maco roller coaster?

Speaker 3 (38:51):
Yeah, is a signature coaster with the giant Manta ray, Right,
is it the.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
One where you're like standing up or something? Isn't there
something different about it?

Speaker 3 (39:00):
So it was years ago, but I do remember standing
up almost like you're you're strapped in but you didn't
have to like hold your legs up. It was just
the way the seats were that you were kind of standing.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Let me see bring this up. I thought you were up.
In Google images you can see how the seating is arranged.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Okay, did I nail it? It's I don't know. It
looks like you're kind of riding on a giant Manta ray.
Is that the point is that? What's going on?

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:29):
And your feet are hanging loose and you're moving around
to this large coaster. Says this Manta Ray brings you
across this roller coaster. Somebody was on this sucker. Her
name is Hillary Martin. Hillary, I'm so sorry. I am
so sorry. This is brutal. She visited SeaWorld back in March.
She goes, let's go on the Maco roller coaster. They said, Hillary,

(39:50):
are you sure the Maco roller coaster? This is an
extreme thing, and she goes, I want to do it.
I want to do it. And they said, Hillary, if
you're going to get all on the Mako roller coaster,
you must take everything, and I mean everything out of
your pockets and put it in the lockers. Take it
all out because you could cause danger and destruction with it.
And she said okay, and she emptied her pockets that
she got on this ride and as she was cruising

(40:13):
around and if she was flying through the roller coaster
track on Mako at Sea World, she was hit in
the face with a duck. A duck flew into her
face full speed ahead, and it knocked her out cold.
She completely knocked her out cold.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
Pockets prior to that, no.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
No, nothing, I was just making it dramatic. I was
just just going through the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
And this is not the first time, but it's been
many years. Of course, the one that comes up is
can't believe it's not butter guy Fabio, Yeah and destroid that.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
He took a goose to the face. She took a
duck to the face. And she says See World created
a zone of danger.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
And it's because of the tilemed.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
And placement near a body of water, which allegedly increases
the risk of ducks hitting you in the face when
you're on a roller coaster. She said she suffered permanent
injury to her body, as well as hospital expenses and
mental suffering.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
That's a big ass duck.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
So she's going for some money in this lawsuit, and
she said she is very upset that all of this happened.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
To her on the make O Right.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
She already did. The lawsuit is uncurious wild. An attorney
was like, yeah, you've got your rights, duck face lady.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
I figured that part of the ticket has that tiny, little,
very fine print of if an animal or an act
of God happens, that's responsible.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
This is what I think insurance companies would at least
refer to as an act of God. Yeah, you're outside
surrounded the Makeo roller coaster with duck food.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yeah right.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
They were like, we want to make it more like
you're out in nature, so we want to encourage some
ducks to fly by while you're riding on the roller coaster.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
The pipeline surf coaster is I think what Sabrina was
thinking more about where you're standing up and it looks
like you're on a giant surfboard.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Uh huh. Yeah, see that one. I can't remember if
I rode that one or not.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Well, this was a full speed duck attack to the face.
Should she get paid out? Let us know what you think.
Send a dispatch over at the newsjunkie dot com. Leheva
Rosta on Twitch watching the show says Plania signage saying
you ride at your own risk there, right, they're trying.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
To get SeaWorld to foot the bill. Of course.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Richard on YouTube says, the Makeo Ride is a high
speed roller coaster that is over a body of water.
The Manta is a much slower roller coaster where you
lay down. He is saying, but this lady is not
happy with her experience. Let us know what you think.
Send a dispatch over at the newsjunkie dot com. Somebody
sent in me because we were talking about with Amazon
Primes NBA basketball cover. They have this this new place

(43:04):
where they broadcast from and the whole floor is a
giant screen and they're playing basketball and they're like, they
look like video game players. They have circles around them,
and the entire floor.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Turned into a video game.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
And somebody said, the UCF team played around with this
not long ago, and they sent over a couple of clips.
So thank you to whoever sent that.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
This is all right, this is the okay.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
The whole floor is a screen, it's a whole basketball court,
and it shows it like changing the graphics, updating, and
it says the UCF logo in this particular case asb
glass floor.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
There's one more.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Video them interacting with it again, this is the University
of Central floor, I guess, all right, And so she's writing,
actually you could you could use the tablet and like
write messages actually on the court that you're talking on.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
The whole thing is a giant screen. Bad ass that
must be so expensive.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
You know what I noticed about the first video you played,
So the the floor changed and the UCF logo changed,
and it did an effect, and for a second it
looked like there was moving lighting across the UCF logo
and I was like, oh no, there was no lighting,
that was just the video glass like glass floor video playing.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Yeah, so it looks.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Like there's a screen underneath, like a clear basketball court.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
Maybe is that so it's probably just a clear scoring
like it was. Probably it's probably just like something that's
clear enough but also sturdy enough that you could stand
on it and you know, like bounce basketballs on it
and jump up it down and not hurt the screen.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Yeah, but at what point, like are you dropping a
fifty pound weight and then.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Repair it would have to take a lot more than that.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
You have big ass basketball players three hundred poun and
stuff walking around on this court.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
It's pretty insane.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
I'll put this up right now, crazy basketball court over
on See It Now go to the news Junkie dot
com hit to see it Now menu, and you'll see
exactly what we're talking about here, as well as any
other visuals that we talk about on the show. Since
most of you are just listening, we understand that you
could always watch the show by going over to the
website thenewsjunkie dot com. More people chiming in about the

(45:24):
Neo Robot. This robot we talked about on the show,
and we were saying, it's twenty thousand dollars. It can
do laundry and dishes and vacuum, and you could schedule
it to do all your chores while you're gone. It
could keep your company and hang out with you. And
back to this woman who attended the launch. She said,
after attending the Neo Robot launch in Palo Alto, that's

(45:46):
in California. For me, this was the first time a
humanoid actually felt safe to be around. Here are my takeaways,
she says. The price point is the biggest shocker. Twenty
thousand dollars or four hundred ninety nine dollars a month
for a general purpose home robot. That's an insanely almost
unbelievably low. It's the first time a humanoid labor in
the home feels economically inevitable. The buy button is now live,

(46:10):
with delivery of these robots supposedly starting in two twenty
six or twenty twenty six. But if there's one thing
they have in abundance, it's taste. The design is deliberate,
cushion body panels on this robot, a nit skin exterior,
a structure that allows cooling without looking industrial, and it
feels inviting when you look at it. It's sixty six pounds,

(46:31):
yet still able to lift around one hundred and fifty
and carry fifty five. Watching the hand dexterity as it
picked up a drink and handed it to guests was
especially impressive. Jesus, you just want Neo the robot to
hand you drinks? Is that what you're looking for? I
wonder if Neo will make me drinks?

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Maybe? Why not?

Speaker 4 (46:50):
There is on the faq can my Neo cook? And
it says initially neo cooking capabilities will be restricted from use.
Plan on having it be able to cook at some
point it's to save Yeah, Neo can provide you with
great recipes or help with the cleanup instead.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Really all right, well we'll take more feedback on this.
Let us know what you think. It's pretty unbelievable. But
that's somebody who is actually at the event with this
new robot that they wanted to wander your house. They
want you to buy one of these, like a roomba,
but it's five foot six. It's the adorable little thing. Spooky, spooky.
I agree on the price things, twenty thousand dollars doesn't

(47:30):
seem like enough. How much is the Boston Dynamics robot.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
Dogred way more hundreds?

Speaker 2 (47:38):
I don't know exactly how there.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Somebody shoot a search to that and see if we
can find out how much the Boston Dynamics robot.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
Dogs now cause twenty thousand kind of screams to me.
We're going to sell your data.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
M h.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
And that's part conditions.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
That's a lot of data. They said, how will it
use my data?

Speaker 4 (47:58):
Data collected from real world tasks refines Neo's based intelligence
and performance, advancing Neo's autonomous capabilities and safety. Says, we
do not use this data to build a profile of you,
nor do we sell it if you don't want to
participate in helping improve NEO further.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
You can always opt out.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
So when I look at the Boston Dynamics robot dog
spot it was around seventy four thousand when it went
on sale.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
In twenty twenty. People can go all these, you can.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
It can go a lot higher if you get it
with a bunch of sensors and cameras and stuff, it
could go up to one hundred and fifty thousand. So
and now that there's a lot of to be fair,
there's a lot of like knockoffs.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
This is Walmart selling one. It's like unitree go to
robot Quadrigation.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
I mean, it looks like a great doorstop.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
It's not as sophisticated, but it's twenty two hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
Pretty low reviews.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
On this thing, but the actual Boston Dynamic ones are
much more expensive. You go with a traditional robot dog
for twenty nine dollars, but that ain't gonna do much
for you, certainly not going to do the laundry. This
thing though, for twenty thousand dollars. I just wonder if
it even financially would make any sense.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
I don't know that it would.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
One of the things, so this robot self charges, which
I think is hilarious. It like, when it gets low
on battery, it knows where its charger is and it
goes and plugs itself in and then when it's all
charged up, I do that too. I'm guessing it just
pulls the plug and it's like okay. By One of
the other things that says is like boom box, use

(49:34):
Neo as a mobile Bluetooth speaker anywhere in your home.
That seems like the most basic bitch feature this thing has.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Can you imagine going to the beach or something, got
a robot Bluetooth speaker sitting next to you on a
blanket on this Oh and I can't imagine that. Go
into the park with Neo the robot. Oh god, it's
all bad, but it's reality.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
So let's know what you think.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Senaty dispatch at the news Junkie dot com Right now,
quick break when we come back, I don't want you
to panic r thing, but lab monkeys have escaped, right, Yeah,
that's right, escaped lab monkeys on the loose. What's the
story here? Why are people freaking out about this? And
what's really happening?

Speaker 9 (50:14):
Is coming up next on the News junkie.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Jamaica waking up to not the greatest situation obviously, after
this hurricane walloped them this week and kind of just
sat on top of Jamaica and spun over and over
and over and over again. It was pretty bad and
some of the stories look a bit dire in terms
of what it looks like after this Category five Hurricane

(50:57):
Melissa made landfall in Jamaica. Already, a lot of their
homes aren't really built to a code that many of
us would consider to be significant. And you know, being
somebody who's gone to Jamaica before, I can tell you, like,
you look at the houses and they're not ramshackle huts
that we drove by when we were broadcasting live from Jamaica.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
But they're also not houses that would be up to code.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
And let's say Florida, it's just a different standard that
they have for construction there. And a category five hurricane
is bad, obviously.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
But they have I saw some of the footage that
they were showing on Fox thirty five this morning, and
a lot of it coming from the Fox like overall
Fox Weather team and some of them out in Jamaica,
and they were like some of these guys. They picked
specifically this concrete house because they knew that the house
would be like a nice and safe. But all of

(51:55):
the windows just like we're crashing, and they had like
to them like running through the house because some of
the big sliding glass doors are just kind.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
Of toppled over and shadowed everywhere. That's scary, man, And
that's what was happening. This is the article from the
BBC says Jamaicans start to reveal devastation as hurricane causes floods,
power cuts and splits the city in two. According to this,
a lot of devastation in the wake of this.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Hang on, let me knock that down sea lane. There
you go.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
The true extent of Hurricane Melissa is still being revealed
in Jamaica. Without power or phone coverage, much of the
country is isolated and so information is trickling through.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Oh hello, starlink can help you for a second here please.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Now's the time.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
Three quarters of the country had no electricity overnight, three
quarters of Jamaica. Seventy five percent of Jamaica had no electricity,
while the numbers of people injured or perhaps dead haven't
even begun to be counted. Many parts of Jamaica's western
side are underwater and homes have been destroyed by strong
winds after the hurricane tour across the island with strophic
force as wind and rain lashed throughout the night. One

(53:04):
local official said the destruction resembled the scene of an
apocalypse movie, with communications crippled. The BBC says the true
scale of the disaster remains unknown. They said, there is
significant damage to hospitals, homes, businesses and obviously you got
you know, trees uprooted all over the place. Winds were
at one hundred and eighty five mile an hour miles

(53:26):
per hour, so it was really really bad. You don't
have a connection. You can't speak to the people you
normally speak to. One woman said, there is water coming
in through the roof of my house. I am not okay, So,
you know, obviously not a good situation there after this
Category five storm. Taking a look around at some of
the footage that is eking its way through, this is

(53:47):
just devastation in this part. Some of these uh just
completely crashed the video for some reason right as I
played it. Oh, hang on, I know I did that.
I'll pop it back up. For those of you watching,
you watch the show, by the way on YouTube and
twitch dot.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Tv slashing the news Junkie.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
There's some smaller houses that appear to be not very
well made, as you can tell by just absolute debris
left behind when a hurricane knocks them over. Like this,
Flooding is everywhere in this particular neighborhood that we're looking at.
It looks like a lot of power poles and stuff
are down in this area too.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Then somebody sent over.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
This is inside Cornwall Regional the hospital in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
And this just ain't good.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
I mean, it is like the hospital is underwater. This
gotta be a float all through, like the waiting rooms
and stuff. The chairs are just surrounded in water. There's
like a river rolling through the hospital itself.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
It's moments like these though, that you think the last
hurricane with Tampa, remember, and the hospital had that giant
barrier already set up, which essentially saved it from flooding
like this, right. I don't know all the hospitals have
something like that.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Maybe they don't think it happens enough to make it worthwhile,
but I bet they wish they had one now.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
I mean, like this place is just there's a.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
River running through this hospital in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Obviously,
you can't keep a hospital or even running like this.
Although the lights are on, I'll tell you the power
is on in the room. They could probably might have
some generators. Hospitals tend to keep those around. Yeah, I
guess so, yeah, I guess so. It's quite bad as

(55:31):
you could see from Montego Bay. I'll put this up
on See It Now so everybody could take a peek
since it's a visual Whenever you get a chance, go
over to the website as per usual, and in the
menu you'll see see it Now, and then you'll see
some of the footage of just how bad this was
out there in Jamaica, in Montego Bay. But it's still
a situation where they don't necessarily have a full grasp,

(55:54):
even a couple of days later, just how bad everything went,
because it's that everybody's phones are down, the whole cell
towers are down.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
To make a hospital flooded is.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
What I'm going to put here over on See It
Now check it out on the Neewsjunkie dot com. That
video is now up and available for you to take
a peek at and it's something else. Go check that
out the news Junkie dot Com in the see it
Now section. All right, let's go to you. Let's work
in some of your comments. You've got some things that
you're saying to us. I did want to say real quick,
there are more and more stories, and I guess this
is just the news in America trying to do things

(56:29):
with an American angle. But there's so many stories like
Texas newlywed stranded in Jamaica, and like they're trying to
make this about people from America that are over there
instead of you know, who knows what's going on with
all these people in Jamaica. The people in America are
mostly at very very well built resorts that are going

(56:51):
to hold up to this kind of weather. Thankfully, they're
going to be okay. But it's like we can't tell
the Jamaican people stories because you know, they're not American,
and the Americans just won't understand their problems, I think.

Speaker 4 (57:05):
And another thing that I thought was kind of odd,
and I just as I was walking through the hallway
and one of the TVs is on and they had
this guy on again, and I saw him on this morning,
because the next place that Hurricane Melissa is set to
hit is Bermuda. But by the time it gets to Bermuda,
it has actually downgraded quicker than forecasted, and so when

(57:27):
it gets to Bermuda, it's gonna be like Cat two.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Or Cat one.

Speaker 4 (57:30):
Yeah, but they have a weather reporter ready in Bermuda
talking about how Bermuda is preparing and the shot they
got of this guy. Could we have picked a different location,
a more appropriate location, wepriate He was on the most
beautiful beach. It's like, it's like, we're gonna go from

(57:53):
Jamaica to Bermuda and then right in front of crystal
blue waters on a nice, calm, sunny Bermuda day.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
And then showing off to Jamaica. Once they see it,
it is going to be so quick and so much
easier than it was when it was slow and giant for.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
You tilt his head down and say I'm sorry at
the beginning of the report you the juxtaposition was.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
A little awkward in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
Beautiful over here Mike on YouTube says you're not in
Rochester anymore.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
That station got blown up. But I love you all,
I love the show.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
I listened on the iHeart app now and tip of
the cap whoever chose that last rejoin by Ghosts, thank you,
appreciate you, thank you for sticking with this, Mike, and
if you are listening anywhere, it's always good for this
exact reason to either subscribe on YouTube or to the podcast.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
You never know.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
Stations that were on all over the place. Sometimes they come,
sometimes they go. It was a great station. We'd love
all the people there. It was an awesome ride on Rochester.
You could still check us out in Albany if you're
in New York. I don't imagine your post always up
to brother just retired. I guess, yeah, yeah, just retired
at the beach.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
We's in there. It might be. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
He was the legend at that station, was at that
station for decades and decades and decades, this gap and
then they just said, we you know what people want,
rock music. They can't give that anywhere else. Technology is
not going to stop that. I say to all of
you program directors, and I know how many of you
listen to this show. I don't say that to blow
up my own ego. I say that because literally a

(59:28):
lot of people in the industry listen to the show
and have over the years, and I say to you,
the only thing that is far enough from replaceable right
now to be comfortable with is the spoken word format
that you are listening to right now, Real human beings
talking into microphone, building friendships through the airwaves and other ways,

(59:49):
with people who are listening and working every single day.

Speaker 2 (59:52):
That's the thing that can't be replaced.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
The music they can get anywhere, They can literally get
it anywhere.

Speaker 2 (59:59):
This not your robot can play it for you?

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Your robot can? We can your robot play this? I
don't know if the robot could play the news junkie.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
I would like for twenty thousand dollars better.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
I mean, you have any three robots to represent each
of us.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
Come on, Neo the robot cut iHeartRadio.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
You really should. Let's see we got to diver Steve
talking about Neo the robot. Let's see what he says
with his audio dispatch.

Speaker 10 (01:00:23):
Hey, good afternoon, news jackies. I just want to weigh
in on that robot. Yeah, that's really cheap. But anybody
remember when phones were real cheap? Sign up for line.
We'll give you a free phone because the government and
big business want to know where you're at and what
you're thinking about buying.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Yeah, sounds fishy to me.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
Any rate just want to say, wiggle wiggle, pop.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Up, you know what it could be. And I don't
know this. I don't know this. I'm just full on
speculating here.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
But what I've seen happen before is sometimes they put
things in the marketplace, and they'll put them for a
cheap price, and then when the interest arrives people really
really want to get it, they'll go back and change
the price. So in this case, they'd go twenty thousand
dollars for the robot or five nine to nine a month,
and then either that is a featureless one that you

(01:01:14):
don't really want. You want the fifty thousand dollars model,
or they just simply raised the price, like it costs
a little more for production, so it's going to cost
more to buy it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
Or they say, you know, we have sold out of
twenty thousand dollars robots, and now what we have left
is forty thousand dollars robots.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Yeah right, you got more expensive one.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
I don't recall if they did that with the cyber truck,
but it might have been the case that they did
that with the pricing of.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
The cyber truck when interest spiked.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
I know that they did this with when I was younger,
the PT Cruiser they revealed and people raking a PT Cruiser.
Look how cool this thing is. It's got a you
can put a tent in the back of it and
go camping.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
You can put your sturfboard on top. It's astounding.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
And then when they release it, everybody bought them all
and they go, we are going to raised the price
dramatically of this thing because people want it right.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
Now and everyone makes fun of it today.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now it didn't stand the test of time.
I don't think now it really didn't stick with us.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Let us know what you think. Send us a dispatch.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Go over to thenewsjunkie dot com and hit record on
your dispatch right now. Thank you, diver Steve. And one
more real quick. Somebody's comparing the robot to Big Hero.

Speaker 11 (01:02:27):
Six, So to me, I haven't seen it yet. I'll
check it out when I stopped driving. But the good
for you the robot, it sounds better, the voice sounds
like and also the description of it and how it
works and all that sort of thing. It sounds exactly
like Bamax from Big Hero six. Kind of does, so,

(01:02:48):
I mean, check that out and compare the two.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Yeah, it kind of does.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
He's like a big, lovable, soft robot character.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
Looks like if the State Puff marshmallw Man was a robot.

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
Yeah, I could see that. A lot of people emailing
about this. Will work some of those in.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
And we'll get to these escaped lab monkeys.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
We're gonna be doing that shortly on the show when
we come back the next episode with Sabrina. What's coming
up on the next episode?

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):

I can't wait to see people in costumes are dressed up.

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
I had to force myself to go to bed last
night because I was like just up honing in the material.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
I was typing away at the at the notes app, and.

Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
Then I got in bed and I was like, oooh,
no thing all right.

Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
And if you're typing away and very confused when it
comes to refinancing or buying your first dream home, stop
doing that. Just type that mortgage guy don dot com.
Do miss the mortgage guy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
Twenty seven years ago, nineteen ninety eight, Nicole Kidman.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
And this Tom Cruise Tom Clubruse.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
Tom Cruise is right two points for Sean and twenty
seven years ago on this day, they got a settlement
five hundred thousand dollars to be exact from London's Express
now spipeer for an article that claimed both of them were.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Yay.

Speaker 4 (01:06:23):
I thought it just claimed Tom was gay.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
Both gay and their marriage was a cover up.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
Wait, so there's a beard. A beard is what a
beard is.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
When you're a guy, you're you're with a woman to
pretend like you're not gay, that's a beard.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
Woman is the beard?

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
Rightman, is the beard?

Speaker 7 (01:06:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Is there another version of that where if you're a
woman who is gay and you're with a man to
pretend like you're not, is that guy a beard too?

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
Is that guy Amercan? I don't know. Okay, I have not.

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
Heard of the official praising, but by all means, give
it a googs and while you're there, also google lollipops
for your vagina. Okay, there I said.

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
It, and I have to incot meto of this.

Speaker 3 (01:07:12):
One, or do you? Because it's supposed to be for
your health of the downstairs mix up, Corney Kardashian is
behind it. Now you do have to ingest these orally.
The lollipops also come in gummy form.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
Can fact that really needs to be specified?

Speaker 3 (01:07:31):
I think yes it does. Yes, it does.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
Record I guess when a man or when a woman
is with a man who's gay to pretend they're not,
it's a beard. And the opposite of that is called
a purse.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
That makes sense because I use a backpack. Now I
do have a lot of stuff. The lollipops also come
in gummy form, contain a probiotic that helps combat things
like bacterial vaginosis, the b the East infections, and aerobic vaginitis.

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
Oh, okay, Arabic.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
I don't know, it's not Arabic. The lallies are called
very specific. You can grab that for me. Great, let me.
Purr is the lollipop's name, and Courtney says, I love
that these can turn daily self care into something sweet
and simple. Wow, Courtney Carnanni.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
We also have.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
War that is over. We did it, guys, the war
right you say condragulations.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
I stopped in the middle because the word exploded on me.

Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
Uh, the official White House execunts.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
You were saying country, that's my doing.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
The account is celebrated the end of the rivalry of.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
Mortal Combat Console.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
War Yeah, Expox with PlayStation Okay, so who won? I'm
not completely sure. They just shared a strange AI image
of Trump Ooh, never mind. They decided who they're gonna be, Like,
what side it is? It was Trump as Halo's master
chief and.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Halo is Xbox Oh is it on?

Speaker 6 (01:09:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:09:20):
I won?

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
They announced Microsoft being the remake of the original Halo
game Combat Evolution. It's gonna launch around the time of
those weird robots we talked about earlier in twenty twenty
six for the Xbox series x slash S and PC
no PlayStation, but they also confirmed the game would be
coming to PlayStation for the first time in the franchise's

(01:09:44):
twenty four year history. Many a months later, but things
are coming together. I also want to throw this. It's
not a flag on the field, but a flag. Nonetheless,
Fortnite brought those consoles together years ago because that's the
one place that I could Fortnite and be on the
same team. Talk to my nubs in the lobby and

(01:10:06):
they have Xbox, I have PlayStation.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Can you do that? Also if you're just playing Fortnite
on a cell phone?

Speaker 3 (01:10:12):
I believe so who does that?

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
There's Fortnite on my television and I tried it all
of for twenty minutes and I not like an old person.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
There's Fortnite on my television.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
App connected to the interwet.

Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
There's a rebos app or whatever my television has, and
there's a Fortnite for it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
Played it one time, goodbye, welcome.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
Why I play games where we can just watch movies
and this one I am curious about because Hollywood tends
to as of late, not come up with any original ideas,
just reboot and remake and redo the things that we
grew up loving. But this one I think might be
good as long as everyone's not pissed off that it's

(01:11:00):
a woman. According to reports, Margot Robbie isn't talks to
star in the remake. Oh, American Psycho. No, it's been
a minute, according to this son.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
But I saw that this was fake news.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
Is it the Sun?

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
They never do fake news ever. The most reliable source
on the side of Mississippi the Faith.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
They're on the other Yeah, they're on the other side. Well,
it depends on how you look at.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
The game exactly. I don't know, flat, don't you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
I just saw something about this.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
I saw Margot Roby attached to American Psycho, and then
I saw something about fake news.

Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
But as far as Margot Robbie or American Psycho altogether.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
I saw that the people making American Psycho said they
weren't going.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
To do a gender swap. That's what I saw. Oh, so,
I don't know what you take away from that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:48):
But can we dump that mold?

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
No, it's out there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
It's Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (01:11:53):
If American Psycho did a gender swap, that guy that
deleted me on Facebook would lose his ever loving fader.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
And last name and outpost it for you instead. Uh,
this is not fake news asterisk. But according to another
report not from the Sun, a collection of classic TV
show costumes just sold at a recent auction, And we're
gonna play a game called Seelan and Sean try to
guess how much it went for a I'm gonna nail this.

(01:12:21):
We have Batman and Robins costumes worn by Adam West
and Bert Ward on the nineteen sixties Batman series for
how much?

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
That's big?

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
It's old? Is it bosore? It looks like it's hair.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
Really rich person puts this up as one big display
item with the pair together. I am going to say,
conservatively two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
That is a guess, Christopher.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
Three hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
I'm gonna give Selane the point. Five hundred and seventy
five thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
How fat price is right in me?

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
The Jokers costume worn by Sessa Romero on Batman, how
much money?

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
That's pretty cool too, but it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
As good, I would say, warmer, not as good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars, all right? Eighty thousand
dollars two.

Speaker 3 (01:13:16):
Hundred twelve thousand dollars a tie outfits for.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
A flag on the field. I did not hear a
ding noise.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
I can't play the TV set noise and the ding.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
Of the oh here you what is this low budget
operation that we're engaged in.

Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
We put all of our budget towards the roast.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Outfits for Batgirl, Catwoman, and the Penguin also sold for
a combined amount.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
Of what three outfits and what were the names?

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
Again, I'm sorry for all of the Batman costumes since
so I don't have the oh oh oh, okay, so
I'm gonna do an overall it's Batgirl, Catwoman, and the
Penguin played by Burgess Meredith. All right, so I have
a combined amount for all all Batman costumes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Go four hundred thousand dollars, way eight million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:14:15):
Okay, wait you up.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
Dollars?

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
No, absolutely, nine eighty nine thousand dollars. Batman's batter rang
and Holster went for fifty k. Wonder Woman's costume, including
the Lasso of Truth Warned worn by Linda Carter, went
for two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
Uh question, tell me, tell me about this lasso of truth.

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
Well, yeah, you whip it, and whoever it lassos around
has to tell the truth.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
That's all she has.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
No I thought she could fly and has an incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
Flying is great, that's a great thing.

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
But when she got when she gets her enemy, wonder,
woman's got her enemy.

Speaker 2 (01:14:59):
Now she's face off with them.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
All she has at her disposal is a lasso that
makes people tell the truth.

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
And a semi automatic rival.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
Oh that'll be.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
That's better.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Two of Phonsie's leather jackets worn by the man Henry Winkler.
How much money?

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
That's good? That's good?

Speaker 3 (01:15:18):
Two different prices? Surprisingly, are we going for just one
of them?

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
Are together? Two of them together?

Speaker 3 (01:15:24):
Whatever you want?

Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
Two of them together? One hundred thousand dollars, one hundred
and one thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
Both of you guys, Maybe write eighty seven thousand, five
hundred dollars for one seventy five thousand for the other? Oh,
math is not my forte herman Monster's costume.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
You didn't know that that's more than one hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
I guess I just wanted to double check. I don't
know exactly how many of hundreds of thousands of dollars
got Who's feel good about that? How many times do
I have to be bad at math for you to
not make those jokes anymore? And everyone just is.

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
That against how buy here as we go I have.

Speaker 3 (01:15:59):
Personally, Instead of roasting me, just give me math problems
that entirely okay. Maxwell Smart's shoe phone shot thirty five
thousand dollars on the boob Tube.

Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
If anybody plants a bomb somewhere and there's like a
secret way to code it, just give Sabrina.

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
A It's gonna cut all the wires. Obviously it's gonna
blow up. Do you think that decoding a bomb includes
a math problem?

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
It could? It does depend what you mean if the
bomb is placed at your house.

Speaker 3 (01:16:34):
I dropped two bombs this morning. I'm not talking about
poop on the boob Tube. We got Game five series,
I don't know. It could have been an actual Bombo
fifth season finale. If Slow Horses on Apple TV, Star
Wars Visions on Disney Plus, and you can catch Keegan
Michael Key on KIM will follow your dreams of on

(01:16:55):
Instagram at Sabrina, and but most importantly, they with me America, SMA.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
Thank you, Sabrina.

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
You ever have a show where just the name you go,
the name is not drawing me? In slow slow Horses,
I mean it could be great.

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
I don't have no idea.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
What's about five seasons and it's not series finale.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
That's something think about.

Speaker 4 (01:17:18):
If Mick Jaggers saying about those slow slow horses.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
That was good.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
I don't know it sounds boring, it does.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
I hate to say when we come back, it won't
be boring because we're gonna be talking about escape lab monkeys.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
And apparently these were all fast monkeys.

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
Imagine these monkeys were laced up with all sorts of
problems unless you ask their handlers, who say, no, don't worry,
nothing wrong here, totally fine. The escape lab monkey story
coming up next in the News Junkie. Join us on

(01:18:12):
the show with your dispatches, video or audio dispatches. Fire
them our way over at the newsjunkie dot Com.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
As we talk about lab monkeys have escaped.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
I feel like I should be very scared about this,
but for some reason, they're telling us that there's nothing
to fear, no real problem here. Yeah, it's just lab
monkeys escaping. Don't panic everybody. And I see the lab
monkey getting out. It's a crash, an auto crash. And
one of the lab monkeys was even captured escaping the wreckage.

(01:18:45):
And these animals were initially reported to have been infected
with some stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:18:50):
But they are sure us the plot of so many movies.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
They're assure us that there's nothing to be scared of, Sabrina.
There is nothing to be scared of, just some monkeys
on the loose that escaped from this lab vehicle any highway.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
What they were testing on them? Like, are we looking
for fully made up, high end makeup monkeys or monkey
with an arm coming out of its bag?

Speaker 1 (01:19:16):
You know, I don't like so many things about this story,
but one of the things that's brutal to read is
that these Reeseis monkeys. That's what kind of monkeys they were.
That is still the lab. These Reeseis maccoq monkeys. They
are the most studied, medically studied animals on the planet.

(01:19:37):
These little monkeys really not miser rats, that's it says.
The truck was carrying Raesis monkeys, which typically right way
around sixteen pounds and are among the most medically studied
animals on the planet. The video shows the monkeys crawling
through tall grass on the side of I ninety five
in Mississippi. The wooden Crates said, live animals. They're all
over the place, the monkeys wandering around the local The

(01:20:00):
Sheriff's department initially came out said, hey, folks, these escape
lab monkeys. Here's what you need to know. First of all,
they all have herpes and freak out everybody. Then they
quickly said, sorry, sorry, we got it wrong.

Speaker 12 (01:20:15):
I swear.

Speaker 4 (01:20:15):
Is that because of the research or is that just
like just generally speaking.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
Something that us up.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
If you run into one of those monkeys, please don't
make love to it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
No, don't do not do this. This this is an
area where just in case test these monkeys out.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
I guess, and let me see it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
There's a group of monkeys being transported on a mississippihighway
to escape captivity after the truck carrying them overturned did
not carry a dangerous infectious disease.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
At University has said, right totally.

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
Video shows monkeys through the didn't carry a dangerous disease,
just herpes.

Speaker 2 (01:20:50):
Yeah. I don't even believe this.

Speaker 1 (01:20:53):
I think it was more to it because you know
what they did. Don't like this either, not a big fan.
The local sheriff's department initially said the monkeys were carrying diseases,
including herpes, but they went back on that and said
the monkeys had not been exposed to any infectious agent.
Right totally. All but one of the escape monkeys were killed. Oh,

(01:21:17):
the sheriff's department said in a post on.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
Catch them put a bat.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
That's what I'm saying. They said the monkeys were aggressive.
Maybe the monkeys were aggressive because they escaped the lab
where you were poking and prodden and studying them. Yep,
you gave the monkeys herpes question mark allegedly.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
I don't know that. I believe what's going on here.

Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
They were being housed at the Tulane University National Biomedical
Research Center in New Orleans, which routinely provides primates to
scientific research organizations. They said, And see we could find
the Facebook page to see if Jasper County Sheriff's Department
has posted more about this. Because they're going back and
forth from they got herpes, they got coved, they're infected

(01:22:01):
ass monkeys to no worries they're all good and we've
just we just.

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
Decided to annihilate them.

Speaker 4 (01:22:08):
Okay, Now, which Jasper County we're talking about?

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
What state?

Speaker 1 (01:22:12):
Jasper County, Mississippi. I believe that's the list, third on
the list of Jasper counties. That's the best they can do.

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
A bunch of yeah, and you're new.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
Oh, hold on, they were being no, they were being
housed at the Tulane University of New Orleans. They sent
them to this other place in Mississippi. So Jasper County, Mississippi.

Speaker 4 (01:22:33):
Yeah, says non human primates at the Tulane National Biomedical
Research Center are provided to other research organizations to advanced
scientific discovery. The primemates in question belong to another entity
and are not infectious. We are actively with local authorities
and will send a team of animal care experts to
assist as needed.

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
That is the statement released by Tulane. All right, that's
twu Lane. I wonder if they deleted it, because I'm trying.
I don't even see anything about the monkeys on Jasper
County Sheriff's office. And you know what, you I think
you're right ceiling. There's a problem because there's a lot
of Jasper County.

Speaker 3 (01:23:11):
I actually one Facebook post from a Jasper County police
department that says, oo e oo ah oh, I don't
want to bring that.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Could be it that this?

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
I think this is the same statement se Lane just released.
This is Tulane has released the statement below. The driver
the truck told law enforcement the monkeys were dangerous and
posed the threat to humans. So the driver of the truck.
It sounds like like in a movie. The driver's like
the lab monkeys, they're dangerous. Make sure everybody's as safe
as possible. And then afterwards they go, no, everything's fun.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
It was fine.

Speaker 3 (01:23:45):
Come on, just don't touch them please.

Speaker 1 (01:23:47):
They said, no big deal at all. Do they have
their initial statement? This is an update. Three monkeys are
still on the loose after being able to get inside
the truck and get a correct count. All but one
of these eight monkeys have been destroyed.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
Destroyed is the word that you use. I don't know why.
I think that's better than killed.

Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
Here's the actual original post. A rec occurred on I
fifty nine. The monkeys carry hepatitis, sea herpes, and COVID.
The trifecta baby hepsy, herpes and COVID. Tu Leane University
has been notified. We'll send a team to pick up
the mounkey tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
So we don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:24:28):
Four monkeys, that's a lot to have in one body.

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
Yeah, but they said nothing is in them.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
They're totally fine. They don't have any of these problems.
I don't know who to believe here. Nancy on Facebook says,
run monkeys, run, rooting for the monkeys as I am too,
Like only one is left and maybe they got to
that one too.

Speaker 3 (01:24:48):
I hope they are actually clean though. Now we're going
to have a monkey animal wild animal epidemic of hepsy
and herpies.

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
That sounds bad, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
I'm no scientists, but that sounds like a bad thing
to have out there.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
The lab monkeys.

Speaker 1 (01:25:02):
You either have to be incredibly worried about them or
it's no big deal. I'm sorry, I just don't know.
I don't know what the truth is in the story.
You can tell us what you think. Send us a
dispatch over at thenewschunky dot com. Right now. An email
coming in from David who says, my dad is a
retired research scientist and actually worked a long time ago

(01:25:23):
with the monkeys at Tulane University. I used to see
them all the time. Around the facility. Things were cool,
but we definitely never knew. We definitely knew to never
go near the cages or mess with the safety equipment
when my brother and I were screwing around when nobody
was looking. Have a great roast, much love and thanks
for keeping us entertained, says David.

Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
Thank you David for the email.

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
You too can join us on the show with an
email dispatch whatever. If you want to be anonymous, put
that up on top and fire off whatever your thoughts
are to tips. That's tips tips at thenewsjunkie dot com.
All right, quick break and back with more in just
a moment on the show. When we return, we'll get

(01:26:06):
geared up for the next episode we are. I'm sorry
the next episode Jury Duty. I apologize forgot what hour
it was. I'm distracted and I do have a story
that we need to get into. Everybody loves to rib
Sabrina with the movie past stories. Because she's not very
fond of the company.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
I'd like to be a complete Nutter rip off and scam.

Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
She was a founding subscriber. I think one of the
early adapters certainly.

Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
An investor because they took all my money and I
saw one movie.

Speaker 1 (01:26:40):
Yeah, movie Pass pulled the rugout on everybody. And then
we heard the other day like, hey, movie Pass is
making a comeback and you can invest in movie Pass.
And I thought the website was fake. I literally thought
it was fake because when you go to the website,
there was like eight million dollars that had been donated

(01:27:03):
to movie Pass, and all of the things that they
were giving, as you know, prizes or whatever for people
who had big donations, were.

Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
Dumb, like lunch with the CEO.

Speaker 1 (01:27:16):
I don't know if I'm supposed to be impressed with that,
but I.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
Really don't care that much.

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
And there was a couple other things like you could
go to this event with the CEO. It's a lot
of stuff with the CEO when they had raised millions
and millions of dollars. And now we're hearing i'll just
work this in here so we could talk about it
a bit. Now we're hearing that the company that has
by the bought this movie Pass or the remainders of it,
has decided what they're going to do. And I don't

(01:27:42):
know what to make of this, but they've now opened
this up for everybody, It says, movie Pass opens fantasy
league game Mogel. All right, that's what movie passes like.
Moving forward, it's a fantasy league game called Mogul, it
says Mogal. The new fantasy film studio platform created by

(01:28:03):
movie Pass launched out of private beta. According to the company,
the platform is now available as public beta for everybody.
Designed specifically for the Hollywood industry. Players own their own
film studio and draft the team of actors, directors, and
movies to earn points based on their performance.

Speaker 4 (01:28:21):
Oh see, that's interesting, But I'm initially hesitant because it's
tied to the name movie Pass exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
And how are they allowed to have anything tied to
their name, just like Billy McFarlane, like totally cool after
spending time in prison to launch Firefest too.

Speaker 1 (01:28:41):
Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
Yeah, well I thought there was something in a place
in our laws that if they scam to people, let's
stop them from doing that again.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
Well, they're not calling anything movie Pass. It looks like
it's called Mogul. It just looks like the thing is
called Mogul. But that's what they've.

Speaker 1 (01:28:55):
Launched, where it's like fantasy football, but for Hollywood directors.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
Actors, all of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:29:03):
They said it's open for about four hundred thousand users
on the waiting list. About five thousand have tested this out.
After you create a name for your studio, you get
a budget of one million Mogul coin, the virtual cut
currency that they use. You then assemble your team. For example,
sequel Wicked for Good is one hundred thousand dollars and

(01:29:24):
the actresses Cynthia Arivo and Ariana Grande are twenty five
thousand dollars each. Director John m che is twenty five
thousand dollars. You have a week to finalize your choices,
and you can make two free swaps each week, so
you just like buy the movies with your budget, you
buy the actors with your budget, and it's fantasy football

(01:29:44):
for movies.

Speaker 4 (01:29:45):
Like I said, it's kind of an interesting, even sort
of cool idea.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
It's just like, oh, it's movie pats. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:54):
And they said they have a new fantasy millionaire every week.

Speaker 2 (01:29:56):
But what does that mean. Is a fantasy millionaire an
actual millionaire by virtue of the name.

Speaker 4 (01:30:06):
I'm a fantasy millionaire time, I'd like to sound up
to be a real million Every morning I wake up
and I'm a fantasy millionaire. It's just I fantasize about it,
uh for just lee little bit, and then I have
to get on with my actual, not millionaire life.

Speaker 1 (01:30:20):
Congratulations everybody who is talking about this, you can go
check it out. Mogul is the name of this, launched
by what used to be Movie Pass.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
Is it going to be a big hit? Let us
know what you think. I don't know it is. It's
not the worst idea I've ever heard.

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
Someone else should do it. They don't deserve it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
It feels a little targeted at me, honestly, because I'm like,
it feels like they said, hey, do you feel incredibly
left out of everybody playing fantasy sports because you don't
really watch sports, but you'd still like to do some
kind of fantasy sports type thing, introducing Mogul where the
fantasy sport is movies at the theaters, and the actors
and actresses are the players on your team.

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
Can you already?

Speaker 1 (01:31:04):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:31:05):
It doesn't it's not clear whether they've indicated that there's
going to be any way to put your own money
into this and like bet on who's winning the Fantasy
Mogul League or whatever. But just like outside of this story.
Can you already bet on box office scores like in
Calshi or Polymarket, I don't know that you You probably.

Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
Can't, but I don't know. You'd have to look that up.
It does if this changes your mind or anything. It
does exist at Mogul dot Moviepass dot com.

Speaker 7 (01:31:36):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Gaslip by an entire company.

Speaker 1 (01:32:10):
Get something going? All right, I'm creating my studio.

Speaker 4 (01:32:14):
There is a culshy bet on top us Netflix movie
this week, and uh House of Dynamite still looking pretty decent.

Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
Unfortunately, right, I got a budget of one million coins
and a blockbuster movie is one hundred thousand dollars supporting
actors five thousand dollars. They might not just have every
everybody you might have to pick like main stars or something.
Uh yeah, it looks pretty basic. Pick from the studio,
view the calendar.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
Well, check it out.

Speaker 1 (01:32:43):
Tell us what you think, or tell us if you're
never going to play it because you hate movie pass
and they're stealing money from people again somehow, the choice
is yours. Check that out over on I'll link it, actually,
i'll link it up on see it now on the website.
In just a moment, when we come back, we'll hear
from a We won't hear from her. Actually, unfortunately, this

(01:33:05):
woman is not with us any longer she was. That
was her quote. That was her final quote. I'm a
woman and I'm bad. This woman was left behind by
a cruise ship and she ended up dying. And the
story behind what went down here is insane. And we'll
share this with you. We'll talk about this and get
into the details because it's coming up next on the news.

Speaker 12 (01:33:26):
Chunkie.

Speaker 1 (01:33:43):
We're so excited for the roast at Judson's Live at
the Doctor Phillips Center. The illustrious, beautiful Doctor Phillips Center
surprised that they would have us number one, and that
they would be so eager to start talking about having
more of these in the future. Already we were like,
I don't know, Hey, hang on, let's see if we
can pull this off. Let's see how this goes. But

(01:34:06):
this event, for those of you who are lucky enough
to go, is going to be a blast. Some things
you might want to know real quick. I'll get the
final update of the website up today. I promise the
Newsjunkie dot Com slash roast. I've been swamped with things,
so I've been able to do that. But the event
is sold out doors open. I believe it's seven o'clock
is what we're shooting for, which is an hour before

(01:34:29):
the roast actually starts. And the reason why we wanted
to do that was because, and we're not blowing smoke
up your ass here.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
Legitimately, this is a beautiful.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
Very very nice venue to be in and for you
to go there like an hour early makes it so
you can enjoy some food and get a drink or something.

Speaker 3 (01:34:48):
And we want to understand seven is when not only
do you have access to the food and drink you
speak of, but I believe you will be able to
find your seats. We may even open that lobby with
around six six thirty. So yeah, just don't get blocked
up from immediately.

Speaker 1 (01:35:07):
Yeah you want to take it easy, but get yourself
on doing Zone perfect Zone.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
You won't remember the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
And that way would be like primed to laugh for
the roast event and the whole thing is filmed for
a special that we're putting together. We have some amazingly
talented friends, we really do on this show. We've run
into some people, including Forrest who Forrest is a listener
of the show, and I think we ran into him

(01:35:34):
when we did our brunch bus for an event we
were doing. They filmed, he filmed it like the ride
there and back, and immediately I was like, this guy's
shockingly good. Like, this guy is a high level at
what he's doing. He will be centering the video production here.
He really really knows how to make stuff look they.

Speaker 3 (01:35:54):
Moved away, more like, hey, can you just come back
for a second and film everything we do from now on?

Speaker 1 (01:36:01):
Uh huh please if you don't mind, we would love this.
So Forrest will be there filming. Austin who I met
so many years ago, who built the first ever iteration
of my studio and then built everything since that we'll
be running audio and lights at this.

Speaker 2 (01:36:17):
Event, and obviously all the people.

Speaker 1 (01:36:19):
Who we know who are funny enough to be part
of something like this, and it's sort of like we
haven't been able to do this before in a way
when we get to flex how talented all these people
are that are attached to the show, and I think
it's gonna be a fun, fun time. Will will have
a good time. And people are going like, why do
you look calm? Why aren't you really nervous? If you

(01:36:43):
think I'm very sensitive about things like this, you're not
really connecting with me because I'm not. I don't get
bothered by I love stuff that's funny.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
I love jokes that are are dark.

Speaker 1 (01:36:56):
I like taking shots at people, like when people take
shots at me. For the most part, I like that
kind of stuff. And I also am super excited for
us all to create this special together.

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
And if I have to be the dummy who takes
the shots first, that's fine. If it's successful. On the
other side of it, there'll be other people.

Speaker 3 (01:37:16):
You're taking some shots. There's a lot of animation.

Speaker 2 (01:37:20):
Oh me, Yeah, of course, of course.

Speaker 1 (01:37:23):
And and I would be a fool if I wasn't
ready to fire back a little bit, but I'm there
to have fun. I'm there to laugh, and I think
that you are gonna have a blast and.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
You'll be able to.

Speaker 1 (01:37:35):
I don't know about you, guys, I'm pretty sure you're
on board with this, but I want to speak for
you Suburn and Zealand. I love when we do events
which we don't do as many as we used to,
seeing everybody interact with each other and seeing the communities
on communities on communities that have built around this show.
For sure, it's so awesome and this will be a

(01:37:57):
great opportunity. Some of you have never been to an
event before. Our going to be out there tomorrow night
for this event. It's gonna be a blast. Tracy on
Twitch says Tom van Is, madd you didn't ask him
to do a roast.

Speaker 2 (01:38:10):
I gotta tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:38:11):
I I wanted to reach out to Tom and Dan
and asked them if they wanted to do the roast,
but I didn't think that they were going to be
available for this, and then I just end up.

Speaker 2 (01:38:24):
Well, I didn't end up reaching out. I should have.

Speaker 1 (01:38:27):
I should have because they would be They're both hilarious.
Maybe next time, Maybe next time. If they're not also space. Yeah,
it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:38:37):
It's not the biggest venue. It's a very exclusive event.

Speaker 1 (01:38:39):
It's gonna be awesome about one hundred and fifty of
our closest friends, and it is going to be something
that I think is part of the show's history. And
I'm excited for that and I'm ready, well not really ready,
but I'll be ready soon. Chris, No, but I mean
jokes lies my rebuttal. Why making sure everything's in line wise?

(01:39:02):
But are you going to take notes there?

Speaker 3 (01:39:05):
I'm sure you you can't. That's a surprise, Okay, bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:39:11):
Is it like weirdly sized or saying nothing?

Speaker 3 (01:39:15):
It is a surprise. It's part of the Rose bro Please,
I am not a part of the road.

Speaker 1 (01:39:20):
Actually allowed, Please tell me this isn't like all the
furniture I've ordered in the past where it arrives and
you're like, wait, hold.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
On, it's a great throne. A king has sat upon it.
For sure.

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
I sat on it, and it is comfortable. I did.

Speaker 4 (01:39:35):
I did sort of joke internally here that I hope
it's uncomfortable just because you have to sit.

Speaker 2 (01:39:40):
There all night. I know I thought about it, but
it is. It is very cushy.

Speaker 1 (01:39:47):
This is important the question I'm about to ask you,
and I want you to.

Speaker 3 (01:39:50):
Be honest with me, and I don't know if I
can answer, but go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:39:53):
This is gonna be on video and it'll be something
that hopefully people watch for a long time to come,
very high quality.

Speaker 2 (01:39:59):
Probably are my feet going to touch the ground? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:40:05):
Okay, because if this was some oversized chair and you
make me look like a little puppet on it, in
my feet are dangling above the ground for the entire
like a kid in a restaurant or or something.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
Five eleven on me.

Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
I'm not five eleven. I'm six foot.

Speaker 1 (01:40:20):
I'm not and I'm not measuring myself because I don't
want to see if that's gone down over the years.

Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
It's just too sad for me to imagine.

Speaker 3 (01:40:27):
Here. Am I going to bring measuring set to tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
No, not doing that.

Speaker 1 (01:40:32):
There's no interactive elements here, prank monkey stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
Ain't having what's wrong with this chair? Tell me?

Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
Chair is straight? And you're welcome because you see you
a damn throne. You want a throne. I found your throne.

Speaker 1 (01:40:45):
There are a lot of thrones out there. I could
have gotten the throne too. This was a good deal
on a throne.

Speaker 3 (01:40:51):
And it's a great throne.

Speaker 2 (01:40:52):
I saw a picture of it. Though. Yes it's tiny,
isn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:40:58):
It's really you're gonna have to find out tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:41:01):
At the time, still looks like Will Ferrell at elf
on this thing, aren't I it's gonna be big man
man on a little chair, fat man on a little throwne.

Speaker 4 (01:41:10):
Jesus, fat man on a little thrown God.

Speaker 1 (01:41:14):
Damn it, man, I don't want this river all right
here we got. Let's talk about this woman left behind
by a cruise ship. Believe it or not, the details
on this are as true as they are unhinged. And
this was a woman who was on a cruise ship,
on the Coral Adventurer, and she was on the Great

(01:41:37):
Barrier reef.

Speaker 2 (01:41:38):
The woman is eighty years old.

Speaker 1 (01:41:40):
So they go on this island, I guess, and there's
a resort there in various other things. The ship left
the island, which is called Lizard Island. Let's see what
we could find out about Lizard Island if that's out there.
And they didn't notice that the woman wasn't with him.

Speaker 2 (01:41:57):
They just left and they didn't notice.

Speaker 3 (01:41:59):
That the woman was was she a lizard for a
small woman there and oh.

Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
Well, we'll have to find out together. The crew thought
she had fallen overboard a helicopter jumped in and then
finally they found her body on Lizard Island.

Speaker 2 (01:42:12):
They had left her behind. It was the.

Speaker 1 (01:42:16):
It was the first stop of an eighty thousand dollars cruise.

Speaker 3 (01:42:23):
It like a little AirTag.

Speaker 1 (01:42:24):
You can get no no, no left to die by
this cruise. An eighty year old Australian one was found
dead on a Great Barrier Reef Island. She had been
hiking Lizard Island, north of Cairns. I hope I'm saying
that right. The ship left the island around sunset or
returned several hours later. After the crew realized the woman
was missing, a major search operation found her body on

(01:42:46):
Sunday morning, though details have been released, This does happen.
They tell you, guys have been on cruises. Right, you
go on a cruise, they'll tell you you need to
be back on the ship at this time.

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
We're leaving your ass.

Speaker 2 (01:42:58):
It ain't a joke.

Speaker 1 (01:43:00):
There are compilations of people running down the dock after
the cruise ship, and there are more people in the
world than you.

Speaker 2 (01:43:08):
Despite your main character syndrome.

Speaker 1 (01:43:10):
In some cases, there are more people in the world
than you, and the whole ship is not waiting because
you wanted to stay at Buffalo Pize's a little bit longer.

Speaker 3 (01:43:18):
Now, riddle this, will the whole boat wait? If it's
you a group before, you haven't gotten there in time?

Speaker 4 (01:43:26):
I think they wait if you book an excursion through
the cruise line. I think that's usually one of the
things that they guarantee to sort of entice you to
spend your money with them even further and not book
some sort of two bit excursion. Also, more than enticing you,
it's to scare you away from the other hand, like

(01:43:47):
go you go scuba diving with them?

Speaker 2 (01:43:49):
Sure, have fun, enjoy your Steve Scuba Steve is going
to be a great time.

Speaker 1 (01:43:55):
What was the name of the restaurant, I just said,
Buffalo Buffalozza or.

Speaker 2 (01:44:02):
Senior Frogs. Yeah, that's what I was going for. Senior Frogs. Yeah,
Buffalo Pizza is.

Speaker 6 (01:44:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:44:07):
You can have that idea though, if you're if you're
out there and you're an entrepreneur. Buffalo trademark, Buffalo Chicken
Wings all Buffalo themed. All of the servers dress up
with head dresses and stuff like Buffalo Bill.

Speaker 2 (01:44:20):
Wait, hold on, that's different.

Speaker 3 (01:44:22):
Yeah, that's different that I tucked in and did that dance?

Speaker 1 (01:44:26):
Would you do me? I do me that? Yeah? That
that gun?

Speaker 2 (01:44:30):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:44:30):
Uh so this woman that pizza is even better coconut
h He is the guy who wrote plag.

Speaker 1 (01:44:40):
Yeah, he's Jimmy Buffett's.

Speaker 2 (01:44:44):
Number one enemy. Yeah, could move.

Speaker 3 (01:44:47):
This radio thing doesn't work. Restaurants name in restaurants.

Speaker 2 (01:44:52):
Okay. This woman is is no longer with us.

Speaker 1 (01:44:55):
Unfortunately, she ended up dying on this island and now
there's a huge investigation underway to figure out exactly what
happened to her.

Speaker 2 (01:45:02):
They knew she was dead when they saw her.

Speaker 1 (01:45:05):
Because she wasn't moving and she was just clearly like
a face down on the island, and they said, everybody,
come back from the search. They found her with a
chopper and they sent the experts in there to get
the eighty year old woman on the first stop of
her eighty thousand dollars. Crews, we're at the quick break.
When we come back, we have jury duty for you.

(01:45:26):
In Jury duty. They blew some more drug boats up allegedly,
and we'll talk about that.

Speaker 2 (01:45:32):
In jury duty.

Speaker 1 (01:45:33):
We've also got some other big updates on stories we've
been following for quite some time. Before too long, we
have to get to what's going to happen with these benefits.
And the worst idea I have ever heard in my
life is before jury duty.

Speaker 9 (01:45:49):
Coming up next on the news, Chunkie.

Speaker 1 (01:46:07):
More feedback coming in a moment, dispatches and emails.

Speaker 2 (01:46:10):
Little tidbit for you though.

Speaker 1 (01:46:11):
First, you know that game we talked about the other night,
this game at Dodger Stadium that went on for eighteen innings,
all right, eighteen innings, you know, the World Series game
went on for eighteen innings, And they said the strange
thing was the national anthem was done by Brad Paisley,
the country singer, and he has done the national anthem

(01:46:36):
for the two longest games of all time.

Speaker 2 (01:46:39):
I think they were both eighteen innings, right, yeah, I
think so. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
And he also says it was Paisley who performed the
anthem for three memorable and long World.

Speaker 2 (01:46:49):
Series contests in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 (01:46:51):
A game in twenty seventeen that went eleven innings, a
game in twenty eighteen that went eighteen innings, A game
in twenty twenty four that went ten innings and now
another eighteen inning game. So if Brad Paisley rips the
lead to Star Spangled banner on the guitar, chances are

(01:47:12):
that game is going to be going for a very
long time.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
A very strange stat for him to be the proud
owner of.

Speaker 1 (01:47:19):
The latest game was the Toronto Blue Jays beating the
LA Dodgers six to two. The series is now tied
at two to two. In the sports world, and I
am just glued in. I've never been more excited about
baseball self. No, it's a call him, mister Moore, baseball
hill name. I mean, there's too much baseball, though, isn't there.

Speaker 2 (01:47:42):
It's like there's a.

Speaker 3 (01:47:43):
Game that goes on to three o'clock in the morning.
Is too much baseball?

Speaker 2 (01:47:46):
Yeah? That's baseball?

Speaker 1 (01:47:48):
Yeah, I don't. I think it's okay. You know, I
can't really say I haven't been to a baseball game
in a long time. Maybe it's a blast now, Maybe
I just totally missing out here. I do know this before,
Jerry Didy, there are bad ideas, and then and there
are really really really really really bad ideas. And this
is what I would call a really really really bad
idea that they're working on in Saudi Arabia. They are

(01:48:10):
about to unveil, well, they have unveiled the designs for it.
The first ever in the world sky stadium that they
want to have together for the twenty thirty four World
Cup game. No thank you, no thank you, the first
ever sky stadium. The stadium is on the top of

(01:48:31):
a skyscraper.

Speaker 3 (01:48:33):
And also has one end of said stadium sticking out.

Speaker 1 (01:48:37):
One end of the stadium is like jutted out, because
you know, the stadium is wider than the top of
the building.

Speaker 2 (01:48:46):
The stadium is on top of this building.

Speaker 1 (01:48:50):
Forty six thousand is the capacity forty six thousand people
in a stadium on the top of a skyscreen.

Speaker 3 (01:48:58):
Yeah, and will survive.

Speaker 1 (01:49:01):
And and like if somebody hits let's say it's baseball.
I know they're going to do soccer stuff. But if
somebody hits a home run right out of there and
down onto the ground, I guess it will be a
top a skyscraper. Some people saying that's badass. I don't
know if I could do it. Can you imagine those
bleed seats in the stadium on top of a skyscraper.

Speaker 2 (01:49:23):
No, I wonder if.

Speaker 4 (01:49:26):
There'd be a difference in price between the seats that
are jutted out away from the building versus the ones
that seem to be more in the building.

Speaker 1 (01:49:38):
I would want there to be pay a premium to
be over the building. I think it would be freaky
to not be. Somebody says, so are we good with
Saudi Arabia? Now, well, I don't know. This is not
a comedian thing. This is a soccer hilarious and it
is very bizarre to even look at. This is where

(01:49:59):
we're at the I building a stadium on top of
a sky scraper.

Speaker 2 (01:50:03):
Would you go?

Speaker 1 (01:50:04):
Would you attend an event in one of these? The
first sky stadium let us know that seems like a
bad idea.

Speaker 4 (01:50:09):
It is above the desert, so you wouldn't have to
worry about it filling up with rain. There's one small
I guess silver lining.

Speaker 1 (01:50:18):
Yeah, that's a fair point. I didn't think about that yet.

Speaker 3 (01:50:21):
Underneath the stadium, is that just your nine to five?

Speaker 1 (01:50:25):
Yep? Yep, Yeah, there's there's just a regular gigs up
underneath that. There's a roof over part of it, but
it's not fully covered. It's still open to the air,
and it is freaky to consider, but there it is.
Check it out. Actually, I'll put this up.

Speaker 2 (01:50:40):
On see it now. Give me a moment to screenshot
this and put this up on the website.

Speaker 3 (01:50:45):
Hell no, image.

Speaker 1 (01:50:46):
I couldn't do it. I would be very uncomfortable. I
think it just seems like I'd be thinking about the
whole time. Hey, I'm floating up in the air right
now on top of a building in a stadium. I
might give it a couple of years, you know, see
see that it survives for a little bit before going
out there.

Speaker 2 (01:51:06):
Read some of the reviews. You know, is it rickety?

Speaker 3 (01:51:09):
That height, the oxygen is different, is it not.

Speaker 2 (01:51:13):
It's at least a little different.

Speaker 4 (01:51:15):
I mean it might make whatever sports you're playing up
there a little harder.

Speaker 1 (01:51:21):
Yeah, I mean the thing that stands out to me
is just the idea that what if they play we
will rock you or something, and everybody's like, I would
actively encourage people not to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:51:38):
Where I on top of this thing, this is a
gust of wind and the whole place will do that
weird sway thing they ensure is only because they don't
want the building to crumble.

Speaker 1 (01:51:49):
Yeah, would you do it? Let us know send us
a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
The ESPN says it's not happening. They said it's not open.
Saudi Arabia says this is our first skuy stadium.

Speaker 1 (01:52:01):
The neom em. Now they might it's not real now
just for the record.

Speaker 4 (01:52:06):
No, they might be referring to the fact that they're
calling it a World Cup stadium.

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's so.

Speaker 1 (01:52:15):
They are working on stadium's plan for construction because they're
going to be hosting the twenty thirty four World Cup
in Saudi Arabia, and this is one of the concept
videos for the potential designs as far as I can tell.

Speaker 2 (01:52:29):
That they're going to do.

Speaker 1 (01:52:29):
But it could never come to fruition, right, I mean,
it might be impossible to build to begin with. But
we'll see. All right, here we go. Let's do jury duty.
Uh oh hang on now, court.

Speaker 5 (01:52:39):
Is now in session, so pret your phone down and
paid attention before we call the bailiff over to whip
your ass. You're knowing jury duty with the News Junkie.

eight hundred Camo or just Calmo dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:53:37):
So you guys, I don't know if you are for this.

Speaker 1 (01:53:41):
I really don't know if you have is This story
kind of bothered me a little bit this morning because
I started thinking about it a lot. So there's a
California guys grandfather right seventy two years old and he
ended up dying at a hotel and family went to
check in on him. What's going on with this guy?

(01:54:03):
Everything's going and waiting? Do you hear the scene waiting.
Do you hear what went down? There's a lawsuit now,
that's why I'm talking about it. In jury duty, It
says a lawsuit filed earlier this month and Santa Clara
County Superior Court was filed by family members of Los
Angeles resident Terrell Johnson, seventy two years old. They alleged

(01:54:24):
that there was a scalding hot shower at this hotel
he was at in San Jose that led to his death.

Speaker 2 (01:54:32):
Here we go, buckle up.

Speaker 1 (01:54:34):
A veteran of the US Marine Corps or Marine Corps,
Johnson made the six hour drive to San Jose with
his family to see his gymnast granddaughter graduate from San
Jose State University. After arriving at the Fairfield, that's the
hotel where they were staying, the seventy two year old
opted for a shower that was a bit hot, you

(01:54:55):
might say. Johnson's grandson went to check on Grandpa, going on,
how are you doing. He was found unresponsive, partially submerged
in a bathtub and water so hot family members were
unable to immediately pull him out.

Speaker 3 (01:55:11):
Oh my gosh, full broiled.

Speaker 1 (01:55:14):
They couldn't give him CPR because the water on his
body was so hot it.

Speaker 2 (01:55:21):
Was burning them. What that's what was happening to them?

Speaker 1 (01:55:24):
They?

Speaker 3 (01:55:26):
I mean absolutely nutsman, And forgive me. Did you say
he was taking a shower. He was taking to shut
himself for a bath, and as soon as he dipped
in dead.

Speaker 1 (01:55:33):
He was going into the shower to you know, wash
himself up to get ready for this event. The scalding
shower water was as hot as one hundred and thirty
six degrees. Right, one hundred and thirty six degrees. And
here's one of the brutal lines.

Speaker 2 (01:55:48):
That's rare.

Speaker 1 (01:55:50):
Yeah, struggling to render life saving measures. Court documents claim
family members quote were forced to watch in horror, has his.

Speaker 2 (01:56:01):
Skin peeled away from his right. I'm just telling you
what the truth is. That's what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:56:09):
What's the method called learning that you suv.

Speaker 1 (01:56:14):
Souvetum sovetom at one hundred and thirty eight degrees. Plumbing
code for California says it shouldn't be any hotter than
one hundred twenty degrees. They said this was one hundred
and thirty six degrees. And they're suing the hospital or
the hotel. I should say that's pretty crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:56:30):
That's going to change super forever for that family.

Speaker 2 (01:56:32):
How would you just let's fall down?

Speaker 3 (01:56:34):
Though we're no person, That's what happens.

Speaker 2 (01:56:37):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:56:38):
If I'm in this shower and I get hit with
the scalding hot water, I feel like I would just
jump out of the shower.

Speaker 3 (01:56:43):
But you do that and then you slip knock your
head and you're now filling up.

Speaker 2 (01:56:47):
The tub with yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:56:49):
Or maybe he was rushing to the shower controls to
turn it off and then slipped and he's just melting
and they said shock man, any number of things.

Speaker 1 (01:57:02):
It's like the McDonald's coffee lawsuit kind of h he's cooked.
How dare you guys?

Speaker 2 (01:57:08):
How he was cooked?

Speaker 1 (01:57:10):
He was literally Terrell Johnson seventy two years old, the
family suing.

Speaker 2 (01:57:14):
Do they deserve a payout?

Speaker 1 (01:57:15):
Let us know what you think, said us a dispatch
at the news Junkie dot com. Students at East Carolina
University are in trouble. Would they do well? Two students
are facing charges after participating in a prank that has
been going viral. The frank you and the prank involves
walking into dorms without any permission.

Speaker 2 (01:57:38):
Somebody of these pranks are just crime. The old trespassing prank.

Speaker 1 (01:57:44):
You think sometimes when you get busted doing something.

Speaker 2 (01:57:46):
You're like, ah prank.

Speaker 1 (01:57:49):
Eighteen year old's Olivia Federol and Willow Osborne were arrested.
The two women broke into rooms. They said they were
mimicking a TikTok trend where you walk into other students
dorm rooms without permission. The police said, nope, that is
breaking and entering, ma'ams, and you find yourself under risk. Yeah.
I don't know if that's going to pay off for them,

(01:58:11):
but they certainly they gave it a shot there.

Speaker 4 (01:58:15):
And my news video just dropped. I just do a
bunch of B and e's. This little b and E video,
it's the native TikTok prank.

Speaker 2 (01:58:22):
Yeah, don't don't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:58:23):
Please, don't don't.

Speaker 3 (01:58:24):
Engage some murder for you, Part three brutal.

Speaker 1 (01:58:28):
All right, when we come back with a whole another
hour for you on the show. The New York Times
with a very strange article that I really want to
dive into. On Halloween, Houston is freaking out because they
think they might have a by you creature monster wandering
around the city of Houston, Texas right now. It's the

(01:58:48):
next generation of bigfoot folks. The buy You creature wandering
around Houston, what's happening with that? And the latest on
the battle over these food stamps.

Speaker 2 (01:58:57):
Some interesting developments there. It's all but up.

Speaker 1 (01:59:00):
Next in the news Junkie join the show with a
dispatch that you record video or audio dispatches. Keep those

(01:59:22):
video dispatches coming so we can test things out over
at thenewsjunkie dot com. This is one of the most
shared stories today. I am not making this up, just
in case you were wondering, and it is absolutely one
of the more popular stories, I would say, in fact,
in the last couple of weeks. And it's on the

(01:59:42):
New York Times website right, and it says, literally, have
Halloween decorations become too scary? And they're taking some shots
here at Sea Lane. Even it says the skeletons are taller.
He's got a big a skeleton in his front yard.
But being tall alone doesn't make it scary. I mean,

(02:00:04):
this is an eye of the beholder kind of thing.
It depends on what you think is scary. Yeah, I
mean a lot of this stuff is pretty scary.

Speaker 4 (02:00:10):
You think, like Gore is scary, that you know then
you're that you're and you're writing this article, you're more
likely to reference stuff like this. But just because something's
twelve feet tall doesn't make it's scary.

Speaker 3 (02:00:22):
When I saw a twelve foot tall skeleton with a
pilgrimsat on hold a turkey, that's not that scary.

Speaker 2 (02:00:28):
Let's see if we can agree on this.

Speaker 1 (02:00:30):
Do we all agree that it seems that things have
gotten more aggressive with Halloween decorations and stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:00:37):
Over the last ten years.

Speaker 1 (02:00:39):
Yeah, because I think it's so you don't think it's
like you don't think it's more like shocking stuff. There's
just more stuff that you can buy overall.

Speaker 3 (02:00:47):
Yes, it's the because growing up and I don't know,
I guess maybe I speak for myself, but I saw
a lot of very gruesome scary setups as far as
Halloween decorations, But that wasn't something you can just go by.
Greativity was involved. Oh my gosh. There was one house
we always went to where it was like the strobes

(02:01:08):
and fog, but also a witch holding someone's head and
the guts were falling out and people were hanging from
the tree and whatever else. That I was truly frightened
as a child, But that took creativity on the person's part.

Speaker 1 (02:01:25):
I don't like it's hard for me to remember exactly
what the decorations were like when I was a kid.
But I really don't think they were as aggressive as bloody,
as much like crime scenes as But like, for instance,
Courtney was out earlier and she sent U, hang on,
I'll bring it up. The neighbors have some display and
this is just like a simple one. They got the

(02:01:46):
terrifire out there on the porch, and they got you know,
penny wise from it, and they got like some spooky
clowns on their front porch. There there's another neighbor that
has And this is a trend I see all over
the place.

Speaker 2 (02:01:58):
The garage doors scary things. Oh that's a good one.

Speaker 1 (02:02:02):
Yeah, you get a big print on your garage door,
and it's like a murder happening, or somebody being squished
by the garage door, or.

Speaker 4 (02:02:09):
Just like the the clown like looking peering up from it.
It looks like the garage half open.

Speaker 2 (02:02:14):
Yeah, like looking out.

Speaker 1 (02:02:16):
And now the New York Times says, have Halloween decorations
become too scary. The skeletons are taller, the witches seem
to be more lifelike. And the blood and gore is
more plentiful. And I'll get into this in a second,
but I will tell you if you look up old
Halloween costumes, they were spooky. But I think they maybe
were spooky because you had to make them yourself. Oh

(02:02:38):
that handmade ones look creepier, the old school ones like that,
The New York Times says. On a recent Sunday evening,
Melody Parker took her two year old to Brooklyn to
see a house in the area known for its elaborate
Halloween displays.

Speaker 2 (02:02:49):
He loves classic.

Speaker 1 (02:02:51):
Halloween imagery, pumpkins, witches, ghost, spiders, and skeletons, says miss
Parker thirty eight. During the home, though, was a ton
of blood as well as dis membered bodies like a
child's head. They were all moving and speaking and gesturing
and making noises, they say. The decorations were illuminated in
a way that made many of the figures and wounds
appear more lifelike.

Speaker 4 (02:03:11):
You know, the technology behind some of these things also
has gotten cheaper and smaller, and like, so the.

Speaker 2 (02:03:18):
Things like the visual effects.

Speaker 4 (02:03:21):
Visual effects are just like motorized things like that thing
that I showed you guys, the video where.

Speaker 3 (02:03:27):
I launches itself like eight feet high.

Speaker 4 (02:03:29):
Yeah, that the head pops out, and my two year
old got super scared or just started crying because it's
just the jump scare. Those are a lot cheaper than
they used to be.

Speaker 3 (02:03:40):
I have a giant blow up cat that's the Halloween cat,
and I cannot tell you it comes off very fun
and cute. I mean it's fluffy, filled with air. And
how many children were absolutely terrified of it. Wow, would
not even walk to get the candy because they hated
the cat so much.

Speaker 2 (02:03:57):
The question is why?

Speaker 1 (02:03:59):
Because they're kitten Pharaoh Kitten on Twitch says, I feel
like everybody's just becoming bigger whims? Are people becoming bigger
whims about thisification of America? Being a little spooked is
part of the delight of Halloween, But lately, some say
genuine jump scares are abundant on stoops in front lawns,
looming in doorways, and hanging from rafters as household decorations

(02:04:20):
seem to have become more gory, more violent and unsettlingly realistic.
I agree, I think that it has. I just don't care.
I don't care, maybe because I'm an adult or something.
But I do think it's become more gory, more violent,
and more realistic, and I personally would say that could
probably be directly attached to horror films. The latest horror

(02:04:45):
films are generally speaking, more graphic, more violent than they were,
and more mainstream. Horror films back in the seventies were
not nearly as mainstream, and they weren't brought into polite society.
And I think everything in Halloween and the spooky world
really is very very downstream and derivative of things that happen.

Speaker 2 (02:05:08):
In these horror movies.

Speaker 1 (02:05:09):
Some of the most famous horror franchises of the moment
are things like Terrifier or things like Long Legs, the
Long Legs movie, things that are genuinely over the top, scary, gory,
violent movies. I think it's downstream of that, and I
think that for me, I don't really care, but probably

(02:05:30):
if you're a parent, you might take this differently. So
let us know what you think. Have Halloween decorations gotten
too scary or people just whimps? Let us know over
at thenewschunkie dot com. Okay, I wanted to get this
because I mentioned it, so let me pay this off
there's people freaking out online. They're suggesting that Houston may

(02:05:50):
have a by you creature. There's a monster. It was
right there, buddy. Problem.

Speaker 2 (02:05:57):
Houston may have a problem.

Speaker 1 (02:05:59):
Yeah, I can't.

Speaker 2 (02:06:02):
I can't. I can't go back. I can't go back.

Speaker 1 (02:06:04):
Now Houston has a by you creature now, they suggest.
Paranormal and spooky stories have been making the rounds all
over the internet. One that was posted by a TikTok
user shows several helicopters flying over the city of Houston.
It was a training exercise, or that's what they tell you,

(02:06:25):
and part of the video, a shadow can be seen
flying across the screen. Some people thought it was a
shadow of a helicopter, or that's what they want you
to believe. Others think that this is a by you
creature on the loose in Houston, Texas. And they said
there have been over twenty bodies pulled out of bayous

(02:06:47):
around Houston in recent months. I don't think that's true.
I don't think that that's true. That seems more like
a TikTok thing.

Speaker 2 (02:06:57):
But all these.

Speaker 3 (02:06:57):
Years, you're now just coming out with their scary creature.

Speaker 1 (02:07:00):
Just now, yeah, yeah, just now. I've always seen it all,
and there's stuff every once in a while that pops up.
It's in the news and I'm like, oh, I guess man,
I've seen this before. There's a video that's been getting
some attention this week of this photographer in Spain captured
what is believed to be the first ever white Iberian lynx,
and they videotaped it and it's real, Like, this is real.

(02:07:23):
So you captured things after all these years that are
still real and very rare, like rare pokemon that you
just haven't filmed or anything yet. This is legitimate and
actually real. The Bayou Monster in Houston probably not. So
this thing is crazy looking though, by the way, this
lynx is, it's kind of stunning to look at. But

(02:07:45):
first time ever spotted in the wild. I'll put this
up on see it now, the.

Speaker 3 (02:07:49):
Same neck as Donald Trump. It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:07:52):
It is.

Speaker 1 (02:07:53):
I can't tell how big it is because there's nothing
by it, but it's a lynx and it's the first ever,
like I know one that they've ever filmed. And so
am I saying this right lucistic lucistic cat, which means
I think that it doesn't have pigment. I'm not positive
on that, but they said it's it's mythical and but

(02:08:14):
but real at the same time. Already one of the
world's rarest cats, the Iberian lynx was pulled back from
the brink of extinction after its population fell well below
one hundred.

Speaker 2 (02:08:23):
And two decades ago.

Speaker 1 (02:08:25):
So I'll put this up so you can take a
peek at it on See It Now in just a
moment here, and then we'll go to you your dispatches.
We'll keep those rolling on the show. I'm actively trying
to put this up so you could take a peek
if you're listening to the show today. This is a
lynx caught in the wild and it's over on thenewsjunki

(02:08:46):
dot com in to See it Now section and never
been before videotaped, and does not have herpes as far
as we know, So I don't know. It's the information
say for all the animals we've talked about today, No.

Speaker 2 (02:09:00):
Oh yeah, some of these animals definitely got it. All right.

Speaker 1 (02:09:03):
We'll take a quick break and then we'll get back
with this feedback, these dispatches and more info on the
upcoming roast event that's.

Speaker 2 (02:09:10):
Going down tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (02:09:12):
A whole bunch more A short time to get it done.

Speaker 2 (02:09:14):
Stick with us.

Speaker 9 (02:09:15):
That's coming up next in the news Junkie.

Speaker 1 (02:09:34):
Your reactions, emails, and dispatches are on the horizon. I
saw this story today. It seems like an onion story,
but it's real. There's a story about Wolfgang van Halen
and it says Wolfgang van Halen reacts to the term
NEPO baby and he's not a bigger fan as you
might imagine if the word neo baby, and he says,

(02:09:59):
he says, I think the term nepo baby is a
bit unfair. I think it takes the individuality of the
person away. People say Jack Quaid is one of the
good ones, and it's like, who decides that.

Speaker 2 (02:10:11):
So to address this real quick.

Speaker 1 (02:10:13):
First of all, Jack Quaid, who's Randy Quaid's son, and
he's in a lot of new movies, Dennis Quaid, I'm sorry,
Dennis Quaid's son, Jack Quaid, is want to be necessarily
the nepo baby of Randy Quaid. He's a different Quaid altogether.
He's the son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid is
Jack Quaid, and.

Speaker 2 (02:10:32):
He was in the Boys and he's been in a
lot of other stuff since that.

Speaker 1 (02:10:38):
But there's a lot of other people in Hollywood right now,
in this very moment that are like that, that their
parents are famous and they're just now sort of making
names for themselves.

Speaker 2 (02:10:51):
And nepotism has.

Speaker 1 (02:10:52):
Always been a thing that people have talked about, but
the nepo baby insult thing is a little bit newer,
just in terms of like social circles using this kind
of stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:11:01):
So he says this is unfair.

Speaker 3 (02:11:03):
It's also not the first time he's had this rant.

Speaker 2 (02:11:06):
Oh he's done this before.

Speaker 3 (02:11:07):
Yes, And as soon as you brought it up, I'm like,
I covered this because somebody was another musician called him
out for that and he did not like it. And
I only remember that because your name is Wolfgang van Halen. True,
it screams nepo baby.

Speaker 2 (02:11:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:11:25):
I mean, if you really hated that kind of thing
you maybe you should have dropped the van Halen part.

Speaker 2 (02:11:30):
Maybe Eddie van Halen could be his own thing.

Speaker 3 (02:11:32):
In your band and make all that money and going
world towards well.

Speaker 1 (02:11:36):
His mom is also famous too. His mom's the actress
of Valerie Bertinelli. But it's not always the case. And
I agree with him on this front. It's not always
the case that these people are like untalented or undeserving.

Speaker 4 (02:11:51):
I think it's a combination that the nepotism complained is
a combination of well, yeah, especially if they're untalented, but
also just the fast track to I mean, even if
you are talented, the fast track to the job, the
fast track to you know, getting the fame. Like Wolfgang
van Halen was pulled out of high school to join

(02:12:15):
van Halen.

Speaker 2 (02:12:18):
That there's some levels of privilege is at work there.

Speaker 4 (02:12:22):
Yeah, And he took Wolfgang out of school for the tour.
He missed eleventh grade, but he put plans for a
new album on hold so that Wolfgang could graduate, and
then a couple of years later they announced that they
would record a new album with Wolfgang playing bass.

Speaker 2 (02:12:37):
That was back in twenty ten. So of course he
doesn't like this.

Speaker 1 (02:12:41):
If you're if you had famous parents and people were
calling you a neppo baby, you would hate it too.

Speaker 2 (02:12:46):
Everybody would hate it if you were in that position.

Speaker 1 (02:12:49):
I do beek good like I do that sometimes you're
I think sometimes these people are good enough that it's
like we shouldn't just look at him like.

Speaker 3 (02:12:55):
That, Like tomnks Kid, that's not Jet Colin Hanks, fantastic actor,
great director, Jen Hanks not so good.

Speaker 1 (02:13:09):
He wouldn't be anybody if he wasn't related to Tom Hanks.

Speaker 2 (02:13:13):
But yeah, you think of like Wolfgang van Halen.

Speaker 4 (02:13:16):
Let's say I don't know what his skill level is,
but let's say he's a really, really talented, stupid talented.
If there was a kid at his school that played
the bass guitar that was just as talented or more talented,
would that.

Speaker 2 (02:13:32):
Kid have been picked for Van Halen?

Speaker 1 (02:13:34):
Well, no, no, would no, it would be no shot
night nurse, says wolf He has his own band, Mammoth.
He played all the instruments on his album. He is
amazing life. I'm sure he is, and I'm sure he's very,
very talented. The question is does he have a level
of talent that would give him stardom without the attachment
to his family, And in those cases, I think I

(02:13:56):
would agree that the NEPO baby stuff is not fair.
It's not like you just this is the only reason
you're famous. There's so many of these people in Hollywood
right now. You have Maud Apatow, who's Judd Apatow, the filmmaker,
and Leslie Mann's child, Mad Appatoo. You have Lily Rose Depp,
who's Johnny Depp's daughter, who's been like a model and
popped up a whole bunch of stuff, Maya Hawk, Uma

(02:14:18):
Thurman and Ethan Hawk's kid, Maya Hawk, who has been
in stranger things.

Speaker 3 (02:14:22):
All of the pit, well, a good portion of the pit. Yeah,
the show had a bunch.

Speaker 1 (02:14:27):
Of Dakota Johnson Don Johnson from some of you older
folks know who Don Johnson is in Melody Griffith or
Dakota Johnson's parents, Margaret qually who I don't know who
Andy McDowell is, but.

Speaker 2 (02:14:41):
That's how you do from ground on a bed.

Speaker 1 (02:14:45):
Oh, okay, all right, Well, Zoey Kravitz because Lenny Kravitz
and parent Jack Quaid, Emma Roberts. A lot of these
people they have famous parents, but sometimes you don't even know.
It's like, I think, a good person to fight around
this has been Rashida Jones because I only think of
Rasheena Jones on her own. I don't think of Rashida

(02:15:07):
Jones having famous parents. I don't think of Quincy Jones.
I don't connect her with that at all, Rightly, I
just think of her as somebody who's you know, famous
in their own right. But yeah, he's one of many
people who are fighting this and it kind of just
seems like an onion story when they said that he's
fighting the term nepos.

Speaker 4 (02:15:25):
I think it's just because he seems a little more
nepo baby than some of the others do. Like, you know,
you were on the cover of Guitar World with your dad.
They called it the magazine's first father son issue in
early two thousand and eight, when you weren't even done
with high school yet you seem a little more nepo
baby than some of the others.

Speaker 2 (02:15:47):
You don't, bassist, I don't disagree with that, sorry, bassist.

Speaker 1 (02:15:51):
What about if you were the parent in your mega
famous would you do that for your kids or would
you be like, no, oh, I don't want to do this,
or you'll be a nepo baby.

Speaker 2 (02:16:03):
I feel like any.

Speaker 1 (02:16:04):
Good parent is going to try to help their kid along.

Speaker 2 (02:16:07):
Oh yeah, like Lil.

Speaker 1 (02:16:08):
Wayne when he came to town, He's like, oh, here's
my son, and like his son came out and sang
a couple of songs.

Speaker 2 (02:16:13):
How was decent.

Speaker 3 (02:16:16):
Talent and your child or give him the expertise that
you have you know, acquired being a famous actor or a musician,
then why not? Now are those same parents going to
acknowledge their kid is really bad and talentless and probably
just gonna trust fund it when they're dead?

Speaker 2 (02:16:33):
Maybe? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:16:36):
Are they willing to be that honest? Are they going
to talk to all their exacts like you gotta make
sure he's in this movie or I'm done?

Speaker 2 (02:16:42):
I don't know. Let us know what you think.

Speaker 1 (02:16:44):
Is this unfair sometimes for these younger people where their
parents are famous or do they deserve it?

Speaker 7 (02:16:49):
Like?

Speaker 5 (02:16:50):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (02:16:50):
The weird part about Wolfgang is that he said in
an interview once he didn't know his dad was a
famous musician, he claims, come on, until he started picking
up CDs and seeing his father's picture on them.

Speaker 2 (02:17:04):
So like, so, what was the deal?

Speaker 4 (02:17:06):
Did they shield Wolfgang young Wolfgang Wolfy.

Speaker 2 (02:17:12):
Until high school?

Speaker 4 (02:17:13):
Until high school when they had a perfectly good bass
player for Van Halen?

Speaker 2 (02:17:18):
Did you fire.

Speaker 3 (02:17:19):
Him any curiosity when you were living in a giant
mansion and had houses elsewhere and platinum records on the water.

Speaker 2 (02:17:25):
Now think back to your childhood.

Speaker 1 (02:17:27):
Is there any way your parents could have been secretly famous?

Speaker 2 (02:17:30):
No way, I would absolutely know that. I would absolutely
be aware of that. Boy.

Speaker 1 (02:17:39):
Dylan, my son is in chat right now. He's a
chat NEPO baby. I don't have the weight to toss
you too far, Dylan. Otherwise I would I'd be like, Hey,
if you wanted to get in radio, I'd be like,
I will do anything I can to support you. I
will help you out in every way I can. And
who cares if people call you an epo baby? By

(02:17:59):
the way, why does it matter when you're on the
cover of all those guitar magazines, when you're traveling the world,
when you're in fancy hotels, when you're playing beautiful venues?
Does any of that really matter because at the end
you're still achieving some level of success.

Speaker 2 (02:18:13):
I guess it just still hurts. Real quick.

Speaker 1 (02:18:15):
Let's go over to one of the greatest channels on television.
It is burned into my TV. I cannot stop watching it.
It's news Max. It's news Max. My god, is it good.
I've never watched news Max in my life. I don't
even know where I would find it. I think it's
a high one. But they go on rants over there

(02:18:36):
that I don't know. I just don't see other people
talking about them. There's one guy this is going viral today.
This guy is Rob finner Ty, and he is going
on a rant about people in modern media pronouncing Spanish
names and like leaning into the Spanish accent.

Speaker 3 (02:18:59):
Yeah, like a new order at an Italian restaurant's muzza.

Speaker 1 (02:19:03):
Yeah, give me the muzzarella or the uh uh whatever
it is that would be an Italian version, Or if
somebody was saying uh like erikaenglicias or something and you
start to like ramp it up and you really go
extra on the pronunciation of it.

Speaker 2 (02:19:22):
And I guess this pissed this guy off. So let's
listen it here at another night tonight.

Speaker 13 (02:19:26):
The New York City mayoral debate last night. But I'm
less interested in what the candidates actually said, and I'm
more interested how.

Speaker 1 (02:19:32):
They Well, you work for Newsmax, so you should be
pretty interested in what they said.

Speaker 14 (02:19:36):
Senior politics editor at Politico Sally Goldenberg and tell Lemundo
forty seven anchor Rose.

Speaker 1 (02:19:42):
Okay, so he wants people to go, We've got Dave Smith,
John Johnson and Rosalina or whatever, just like a flat
at baton way to yeah, to pronounce the name. He's
triggered that the guy leaned into.

Speaker 14 (02:19:58):
That politico Sally Gold and tell them wundow forty seven
acre roo our debate.

Speaker 13 (02:20:05):
Oh all right, so we have talked about this and
I don't just I just don't get why we do this,
who started it, when this started? But whenever it is
a Spanish name, we are all suddenly required and expected
to shape shift into the perfect Spanish accents.

Speaker 2 (02:20:20):
Okay, I'll stop it here because a couple of points.

Speaker 1 (02:20:23):
One who's telling anybody to do this?

Speaker 2 (02:20:27):
This guy does this. I'll tell you I don't do this.

Speaker 1 (02:20:31):
I try to just pronounce things the best I can
say a lot of things around here, but.

Speaker 2 (02:20:35):
I never flare this up. So I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:20:38):
I don't feel any pressure to like lean in and
really pronounce things.

Speaker 3 (02:20:43):
And see something on the news and it's like, obviously
they have a gun to their head and they have
to do it. Because the crazy woke left is making you.

Speaker 1 (02:20:51):
Of all the things that people think we're told to
do working in media, that is not one of them.
Nobody's ever who moves pronounce the names like this, never
heard that before. I've never personally personally felt any social
pressure to do that at all. I mean, there's huge
social pressure on political fronts like different you know, things

(02:21:13):
you have to have, like the right opinion. But to
do this, like if he just said her name flat out,
do we think that people will go.

Speaker 2 (02:21:21):
Whoa buddy? What in the gringo is that? What are
you doing right now?

Speaker 3 (02:21:27):
Also turn those tables? Would he lose his mind if
his name was completely butchered?

Speaker 1 (02:21:32):
Oh? What is his nfinnerity something? So I think he
talks about that.

Speaker 13 (02:21:37):
Normal everyday news people do it all the time. They
forget years of training, they forget their non regional addiction
that Telemundo anchors. By the way, Rose Arena Breton just
say Rose Arena Breton.

Speaker 2 (02:21:47):
But for whatever reason, we.

Speaker 13 (02:21:48):
All feel the need to pronounce it like we're living
in Mexico, like we're living in a country where Spanish
is the native tongue.

Speaker 2 (02:21:53):
That's not the case here in the US. But also
he not but I taught me up, he said.

Speaker 13 (02:21:58):
If I couldn't understand what he was saying, as I've
said before, I am irish. And if I was moderating
that debate with the host to introduce me as Robert
James finner ty, don't you know what is happening.

Speaker 3 (02:22:11):
Sure, don't say, don't you know you're an idiot? What
an idiot?

Speaker 1 (02:22:15):
By the way, there's there's a lot of you're an American, buddy,
are you not?

Speaker 2 (02:22:20):
Like I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:22:21):
I never understand why people do that. Like I'm Irish, buddy,
You're not Irish. You weren't born in Ireland. You're you're
you're an Irish American at best. At some point you
just become somebody from the new place, so you're American.
I don't consider myself French or Irish, even though that's
my actual makeup. It's all French fifty percent Irish. I

(02:22:41):
don't connect with that at all. Maybe I'm the weirdo here.

Speaker 4 (02:22:43):
My bio doesn't say Swedish American Christopher Lane.

Speaker 1 (02:22:47):
Yeah, you don't make us pronounce your name in some
sort of Swedish chef. Kind know that there is one.

Speaker 3 (02:22:53):
It's on the topic. It is Sabrina from Arena Sabrina.

Speaker 1 (02:22:58):
If I did that, it would be cringe. If you
do that. For some people, it is. It's a little cringe.
It's not when somebody maybe this guy's Spanish. I don't
even know who this dude is. Maybe he's Hispanic dude.

Speaker 2 (02:23:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:23:11):
I mean, and she's also there physically, so why not
put a little bit more efforts so it's not word
for the guests that are all there. Huh.

Speaker 2 (02:23:17):
I just never felt any pressure to do this. Dad,
that is Robert James.

Speaker 13 (02:23:23):
If the host was Chinese, would they then do it?

Speaker 2 (02:23:26):
Pussy? If the host was Chinese, do it.

Speaker 13 (02:23:33):
Boost that person with a Chinese accent? I don't think so.
Doing it when they're Spanish just stop it. Also, we
don't need to say all three names when they are Spanish.
No one describes me as Robert James Finnerty. I'm just
Rob Finnerty. We don't need to say kill mar Abregio Garcia.
It's just killmar Garcia. I don't know who starts.

Speaker 1 (02:23:54):
This is what happens sometimes when people don't necessarily understand
how news journalism work, and then they end up in
news and journalism.

Speaker 2 (02:24:02):
I don't know this guy's history.

Speaker 3 (02:24:03):
But his whole thing is like, when do we have
to do this? So I'm gonna tell you what you
have to do. It's just a vicious circle. He's like,
don't don't do that anymore. Stop doing it because you're
gonna make me, no one did do that with the
Spanish name, and then he goes on with his Irish accent. Bitch.

Speaker 1 (02:24:21):
The secondary criticism is particularly dumb because saying that, don't
say there are three names with their hispanic.

Speaker 2 (02:24:27):
A lot of times people will use full names in.

Speaker 1 (02:24:29):
The context of news because it's important to be specific
about who you're talking about, Especially if somebody has a
rather generic name. They want to make sure that they
state a middle name, if at all possible, on that person.
We've talked about this before on the show, where sometimes
that keeps you free from lawsuits. Sometimes it's a better

(02:24:49):
descriptor again, I've just I have not personally felt any
pressure on that front.

Speaker 2 (02:24:54):
But there you go.

Speaker 1 (02:24:56):
That's what's happening over on Newsmax these days. What a
time to be a that and we're just blowing up
these narco terrorists. I guess this was another one of
these blasts on a boat. All right, boat boat chilling,
two boats actually two boats chilling, and then no more,
no more.

Speaker 3 (02:25:13):
That we're sharing this footage.

Speaker 2 (02:25:15):
They blew this one up.

Speaker 1 (02:25:17):
But this is is this the same one or is
that trying to Oh it's on fire. Yeah, it's just
fully engulfed in flames afterwards, and this says, this is
from Fox News. Four more vessels, oh, four more vessels
were hit trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific.

Speaker 2 (02:25:34):
This has to have an impact at some point in time.

Speaker 1 (02:25:37):
These narco terrorists have killed more Americans in al Qaeda,
and they will be treated the same. We will attract them,
we will network them, and then we will hunt and
kill them. They say, this is from the Secretary of Defense.
Slash war, it's a newer name. And they keep bombing
these narco terrorists in uh in the Caribbean and and elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (02:25:57):
Okay, we'll see what you.

Speaker 1 (02:25:58):
Think about that too, because we got to come back.
Excuse me, I apologize, not sorry.

Speaker 4 (02:26:04):
Was that bigger or smaller than the one I saw
there making fun of you during the break for they said,
what a week burp Sean.

Speaker 1 (02:26:12):
I have to tell you, I saw somebody type that,
and I didn't even remember burping, so I was like, oh, no, am,
I just like burping and not being aware of it.

Speaker 2 (02:26:19):
Now, that's bad. I don't want to do that.

Speaker 1 (02:26:22):
That's far worse than putting a couple Tilda's on somebody's
name or rolling your RS a little bit more, but
I hope I'm not doing that. All right, We're going
to take a quick break when we come back. Here's
what we're doing, the final dispatches, the stories that didn't
make the cut, they will be squeezed in here. And
today I learned to wrap everything up for a Wednesday
that is coming up next on the news.

Speaker 6 (02:26:44):
Chunk key.

Speaker 1 (02:27:00):
All right, a couple of clips on the way out
that I haven't played or gotten due First, I guess
they were talking about blowing up these drug boats on MSNBC.
Let's see what they said over there.

Speaker 2 (02:27:11):
They're not terrorists.

Speaker 15 (02:27:12):
They may be drug runners, we don't know that for sure.
But just because you call somebody a terrorist, we call
lots of people terrorists, doesn't mean that the military is
authorized to go after them and if no other reason.
And look, I talked to an awful lot of people who,
despite the fact that this is illegal, or comfortable with
lethal action against against purported maybe cartel members.

Speaker 2 (02:27:30):
Where does it stop?

Speaker 15 (02:27:31):
Do we now start executing drug dealers on the corners
of Brooklyn?

Speaker 7 (02:27:36):
You know?

Speaker 2 (02:27:37):
Where does it stop? If all of a sudden I.

Speaker 1 (02:27:38):
Don't know who this dude is, but he's obviously kind
of sounded off against these boat strikes on on MSNBC.
That's what he's talking.

Speaker 15 (02:27:45):
Government, without telling anybody anything, can take this kind of
lethal action just because they've decided that they've got the
right to do so. Lindsey Graham and other Republicans want
to go the route of saying it's okay to kill
people illegally just so long as the American public supports it.
The American public needs to really think that through. You know,
there will be a Democratic president someday, and all my

(02:28:06):
MAGA friends who are you know, cheering on these illegal
killings need to imagine who gets killed when President Alexandria
Ocasio Cortes says that it doesn't matter what the law says,
she's going to do what she's going to do.

Speaker 2 (02:28:20):
So look, all.

Speaker 1 (02:28:22):
Right, so he's saying, if we keep up this precedent
on MSNBC, he's saying, well, now, when somebody else takes over,
a Democrat takes over, they could just blow people like
Lindsey Graham up, because you know, that's what we're going for.
Sort of bloodthirsty and really I think a great example
of just how rotten a lot of things have gotten

(02:28:43):
in the political world as of late. But let us
know what you think. I did see this and I
love this. Somebody shared this clip of Neo the Robot
that we started off with today, good old Neo the Robot,
and they said, when I stay out a little too
late with the boys and try to make it up
to my wife by doing the dishes before she wakes up,

(02:29:04):
and it's Neo.

Speaker 2 (02:29:10):
No trying not to fall over. Well, it's kind of
shut the door.

Speaker 1 (02:29:15):
It's like, I stay up too late and I try
to do the dishes, make things.

Speaker 3 (02:29:19):
Up exactly that so many times I.

Speaker 1 (02:29:26):
Away, Yeah, it was still it's still not perfected to.

Speaker 2 (02:29:30):
This Neo the Robot. I'll put this up.

Speaker 1 (02:29:34):
On see it now, because this does look like he's
absolutely hammered. Hang on, oh, grab this right now.

Speaker 4 (02:29:40):
Does Neo not like bend over and like put its
arm on the table to feel.

Speaker 3 (02:29:46):
Like this is monthly subscription Neo versus just paying all out.

Speaker 1 (02:29:50):
He's a bit of a discount version. Neo does dishes.
I'll put that up on see it now. Check out
the link over there when you get a chance. It's
definitely funny and a good time. Let's get that up.
Hold on where to go there she is. Okay, that's
up on the NEEWS Hunky dot com and to see
it now section any other clips I didn't get to,

(02:30:11):
Let me just double check. Oh, the White House is
all done up for Halloween. They got shocking amount of
pumpkins us A lot of pumpkins up there, a lot
of a lot of fall leaves. It says, Halloween twenty
twenty five looks kind of nice.

Speaker 2 (02:30:26):
Um and uh, I.

Speaker 1 (02:30:29):
Think that'll do it for today. Now let's see what
we got here. It's time to do the final Yes,
that's right, final dispatch. These are the final dispatches, but Sean.

Speaker 2 (02:30:40):
Will probably only play We'll see what we got here.

Speaker 1 (02:30:45):
Let's do some choice dispatches on the way out. And
we don't have a lot of time, so I probably
will only play one. But let me refresh just for
the latest. Here is somebody with a question about tomorrow
and the roast.

Speaker 7 (02:30:58):
Hey, what's up, junkies, Hey Jordan, big four day weekend?
Well deserved time off four days.

Speaker 2 (02:31:03):
Sean got a question. We're not taking a four day weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:31:06):
Just for the record, I'm not. We're taking Friday off
after the Rose, so h three day weekend and back
on recent four day he did say that about tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (02:31:16):
Kind of hat you gonna wear and what you're gonna
be dressed in? You goa dress formal?

Speaker 2 (02:31:20):
No, your business. I know you're gonna wear a hat.
You're gonna wear for Dora. You're gonna wear like a
top hat. No, since you're gonna be sitting in the throne,
you'll be.

Speaker 7 (02:31:27):
Wearing like a king's crown. Maybe details Anyway, y'all enjoyed time.
Wish I could be there.

Speaker 2 (02:31:34):
You'll see.

Speaker 1 (02:31:34):
It's a lot on way to find out, sir, you
will see if you're at the event. Oh shoot, we're
way behind. Okay, let's get the hell out of here.
Here we gotta listen to Today.

Speaker 5 (02:31:42):
I learned the following information may make you feel smarter,
but will not actually increase your IQ.

Speaker 12 (02:31:47):
So don't get cocky.

Speaker 2 (02:31:49):
How it's done.

Speaker 1 (02:31:49):
What we call today.

Speaker 2 (02:31:53):
Is today I learned for a.

Speaker 1 (02:31:54):
Wednesday, October twenty ninth, twenty twenty five. Today I learned
this television Show'star Trek samn star Trek is correct. When
the studio behind Star Trek received a letter from a
builder asking how to make automated sliding doors that opened
and closed as fast as they did on the Enterprise.

(02:32:15):
The reply explained the doors were manually operated by a crewman.
If too late, the cast would smash into them, so
they didn't want to do that. It really takes away
from all the cool Star Trek moments when you know
that there was somebody physically like sliding those doors open.
I don't want to think about that, but I guess
that's how it actually went to Taylor.

Speaker 2 (02:32:35):
There was a man named Charles Jensen. Let me tell
you about him.

Speaker 1 (02:32:39):
Charles Jensen underwent nine one hundred and seventy surgeries between
nineteen fifty four and nineteen ninety four to remove facial tumors.
This is the most number of surgeries ever performed on
a single person.

Speaker 4 (02:32:56):
After a while, couldn't he just take them off himself?
Wouldn't he just know the procedure.

Speaker 3 (02:33:02):
And probably look still?

Speaker 1 (02:33:05):
I don't know if he's with us any longer, but
Charles Jensen got nine hundred and seventy total surgeries.

Speaker 2 (02:33:12):
He went to for Halloween Swiss cheese.

Speaker 1 (02:33:14):
Probably that's a rough, rough, rough one, but God bless
about there somewhere. And finally going back to the slow horses,
whole thing.

Speaker 2 (02:33:24):
Actually seeing that show.

Speaker 4 (02:33:26):
You know, somebody was complained about our take on it,
saying it's a good show.

Speaker 2 (02:33:29):
It's like, oh, I should have watched her, and I learned.

Speaker 1 (02:33:32):
This Dancing Horses, this big Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones is correct.
Yet the Rolling Stones Wild Horses is the even song.
Dancing Horses was the remix. It's a couple of years later.
The Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones had four children before
he turned twenty two, of them before he was eighteen

(02:33:52):
years old. This guy, by the way, when people get
trigger to that, like this.

Speaker 2 (02:33:56):
Show's great, what are you talking about show? All I
said was.

Speaker 1 (02:33:59):
That the low Horses title isn't really appealing.

Speaker 2 (02:34:02):
It just doesn't draw me in the Thank you so
much for hanging out with us. We'll talk tomorrow the
same time, same place.

Speaker 1 (02:34:10):
Listening to Hull at the podcast at the news Jukie
dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:34:13):
We'll see you next time. Everybody true
