Speaker 1 (00:00):
How is everybody doing on a Monday.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Lad at all?

Speaker 1 (00:06):
How were you? Isn't it Columbus Day when we were kids?
When we were kids, do we used to get Columbus
Day off? Yes, that's happening now and even now. I
mean I hear Courtney goes, yeah, you know my my
nieces they have off for Columbus Day at school. Of
course they rename it or whatever. But I was like,

(00:27):
what we used to have it? I think I think
we used to have like we at work or we
like in school. No, I mean maybe even at work.
I feel like there used to be yeah, like years
ago at the beginning of this show and the time
slot it's in now, I feel like I feel like
we used to be able to get Columbus Day off,
and then everybody went nuts and they got mad about

(00:49):
Columbus Day.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, based on the lack of people on the highway,
I feel like there are some the day off.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Oh really, was it just dead zone out there?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Oh god, I'm not a chick fil a Man or
Horror Nights last night?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah? O oh my god. Yeah. Let's let's say thank
you for a moment to Universal for bringing us out
this weekend to Halloween Horror Thank you to the Universal
people out there, even though I almost got booted out
of the park. I mean, what happened, I almost got
I'm going through security. I'm like, I haven't been to

(01:23):
Universal in a while. Halloween Horror Nights is a fun time.
I don't care who you are, and it is like
the challenge I like to give to people on the weekend.
Go do something, Go do unplugged from all this stuff
that makes you miserable all the time. Go have some fun.
And it's fun to go out there. And We're going
through security at Universal Studios to get in for Halloween

(01:43):
horn Nits. And as I'm going through, somebody goes, hey,
your shirt and I go, oh, yeah, thank you. You know,
I thought I was getting a compliment on my shirt
and they go, no, move to the side, please do
you need another I've never had this hat before my.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Life Mickey Mouse shirt.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
No, No, they weren't. They weren't upset like about another
themeburg or anything. And they go, hold on, I got
to get my supervisor over. And the supervisor comes over
and the supervisor looks at my shirt real close. It
says like, you know, pull out the design. So I
can see this shirt and then they shake their head
and kind of put their their their hand on their chin.
Isn't the shirt you're wearing now? No? No, no, why

(02:24):
would I rewar the shirt?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Just?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
I don't know, man, you're for this.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Moment every day for two weeks straight.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
No, it's not. No, And then that person goes, I
have to get my supervisor. Now I've got like three employees,
all hands on their their chins looking at me, and
it's my shirt that says weapons from the movie Weapons.
But it's done like in the style of Wendy's. Just
because because it said the word weapons, they were like, Oh,

(02:54):
I don't know if we can let you in with
this shirt. That's super odd.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I was like, there's no guns on here or anything.
I said, but it's a movie. It's like like everybody's
wearing like horror film stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh sure, and if they had a weapons house, you'd
be fine.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah. Yeah, I just was it. It just looks like
the Wendy's logo, but it says weapons and has the
you know, the evil witch lady from Weapons, and they
they were almost not gonna live me in. And then
finally the last person goes go ahead, don't worry about it, no,
And that felt like a bad boy, you know, just
sauntering in, run right and down right all the way down. Man.

(03:28):
It was awesome though. What a cool event that they
throw there every single year.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
And I don't know is this the first year they
they had the little glowing necklaces. If you don't want
to be scared?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Right? How crazy is that? That movie? You want to
be left the load? You have to pay for the necklace?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
But did they expand the scare zone? Because I went
into the restaurant adjacent to the bar we you know,
often won too during broadcasts and freaking art. The clown
was all up in there. Scared the living giant onion
ring out of my mouth. It was so much and
I thought that this was a safe space.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
There's so much. Did you see as many kids out
there as I did? I'm always weirded out by that.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I couldn't tell you because it was so crowded.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
We're talking like babies. I'm talking like two three four
years old out at Halloween hort nights. And I was like, damn,
all right, just like just throw them right in the fire.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
And yeah, when we know that the scary spooky selections
from lows are good enough for these young kids, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Just some of my favorite videos is the Spirit Halloween.
Kids come up to like the Witch and all of
a sudden they press a button and that witch becomes
seven feet high and they've launched themselves.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Get you every time. Anyways, thanks to Universal for having
us out there this weekend. It was it was a
good time. Let's put her ears the ground, our figures
on the post to see what's happened to this great, big,
wide world of ours. And we go to Air Force one. Everybody, Yeah,
that's right, the big American aeroplane flying in the sky.
They were making their way over to the Near East.

(05:03):
If you will, Israel and Gaza have this truce that
is holding. That was a broker by Trump and his people.
I guess the Jared Kushner guy was pretty involved in this.
Like the Jared Kushner guy flew over to the Middle
East and met with the Hamas people and made a
deal with them in the dark of night at some

(05:26):
encampment they were at and then pushed that through to
the next level. And this whole thing is stuck, which
I don't care who you are, Like, if you're rooting
against this stuff. That's an Unamerican thing. It's just an
unhuman thing, an inhuman thing. You should want people to
be free of war across the globe. And at least
for now things have halted over there. But Trump is

(05:49):
on Air Force One with all the reporters as they do,
and they're doing one of those media gaggles, and he
started talking about going to heaven again. He's talking about
this before and when Trump starts sees like, I'm not
gonna go to heaven. I'm not going to heaven. He
did it again. Let's listen.

Speaker 6 (06:04):
In you had talked a couple of weeks ago, you
were doing an interview and you talked about how you
hope to end the more in you grain because it
might help me get into heaven.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
How does how does this help? Does this help?

Speaker 7 (06:16):
I mean, you know, and being a little cute, I
don't think this is anything gonna get me in heaven? Okay,
I really I think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound.
I'm maybe in heaven right now as we fly an
air Force, but I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Right, I've got to be able to make heaven. I
always love make heaven that's.

Speaker 6 (06:34):
That's I forgot about him talking about this before until
and those two words stay let's set in that order
together was his parents memory.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
But making heaven almost sounds like you're gonna get on
the guest list. Yes, I guess, I guess maybe that's
a good team. But I thought part of the religious
lottery was you picked one and then if you go
to the you know, the per on the gates or whatever,
you get up there and you hope that your team
was the right team. You're like, oh boy, come on.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
And I feel like there are some dedicated Trump fans
who think that he is the big in between him
and go o D. I mean, I've seen so many
pictures online of Jesus and Trump just side by side.
And he still says himself, he doesn't think he's gonna
make heaven.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
No, he's not gonna make it, he says, he says,
I don't think. Wait, well, let me get to his
actual quote there, because he said quite a few things.
How does how does this help? Does this help?

Speaker 7 (07:33):
I mean, you know, and be be cute, a litty
cute you. I don't think there's anything gonna get me
in heaven. Okay, I really think I think I'm not
maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now
as we fly in the Air Force, but I'm not
sure right I'm better be able to make heaven.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
You know, I thought that anybody could make heavin. Wasn't
that the whole pitch? Not so much? It is could
you could go to My dad used to go to
prison and talk to the mates in there about you
guys finding God? Yeah, name if the inmates can make heaven. Boy,
I thought all of us can make heaven. I mean
except for me. I will be thoroughly rejected at the

(08:10):
gates and on the account of the not believing part.
But he doesn't think he's going to make heaven.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
So we'll see what a reporter follow up with, do
you think you're going to Hell?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
That would have been a good follow up. Where do
you think you'll be going?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
What happens after this?

Speaker 1 (08:25):
What's on the other side purgatory?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
I'm going to tell you that.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
He doesn't think even this, even this is going to
make him into heaven. But we shall see, I mean
we will never see. But get you get the point,
we will have it. Well, we will get into the
whole hostage situation. Where the hostages were released after all
this time, I mean, seven one hundred and thirty eight days.
It's crazy to thing and there's so many moments. I'll

(08:56):
give you one here before we get into this, and
I'll tell you, like, you know, who these people were,
what happened, and how they like the trade off went,
because it's kind of interesting. But here's one example of
what are the hostages meeting up with. I believe it's
his mother. She looks young, very young, but he's young too,
and they hadn't seen each other in in like two years,
and and the whole time, she probably thought he was

(09:17):
either dead or never going to make it back on
account of the situation. They get their first meeting and
all that time, I mean, that would rock your world

(09:44):
after like after two years of somebody being kidnapped and
held hostage, and you know, you're stuck in between the
like like countries and terror groups and stuff, and as
a just a person, there's not a damn thing you
can do, and you're just hoping for the best. And
then you get that that moment where you were able

(10:04):
to see that person again. And let's mention here there
were a lot of people who didn't get to this
and this is only like twenty something people. And worth
mentioning that not many of the ones who were released
live here in this final release from Hamas were women.
I don't know what that says, but these mostly men
that were released were just twenty or so in number.

(10:27):
And we'll talk a little bit more about that later
on in the show and how that whole swap went down.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
After all this time though, they like keep in touch
with Amos people, not a moss, but the hostages were like,
after all this time, they're seeing their families for the
first time. It's absolutely wonderful. But like exchange an email,
we'll do so, do you have a meme on Instagram?

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I don't know that they were together. I don't know
that they were like in a big group with a
lot of other people for a lot of this time.
I think that they were sort of scattered out in
different areas, and a lot of them were underground of
these tunnel systems in the area. And it just like
being a pawn in a game like this. It's just

(11:09):
so crazy. I mean, a lot of these people were
just at a at a music festival, folks, that's what
they were doing. One of the things I thought was
a little.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
I found it odd is that they also said they
were releasing the not a lot of hostages.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, And I was like, so they just keep the
bodies around. Well, they said that there were some of
the bodies where Hamas was saying that they don't know
where they are. They said people who were guarding the
bodies were killed in some cases, and you know, they
couldn't locate them. But you never know what to believe.
The only thing I believe is that there are human
beings who have been released that are alive, because I

(11:46):
can see that. You know, I could see like the
prisoner swap going down. But we'll touch on that in
a bit on the show. Right now, let's go to
last night Sunday night football. Everybody, Oh man, I was
tuned in, yeah, baby, watching the Chiefs and the Lions,
the Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs. All the great players

(12:08):
on those teams. Name one player, Patrick Mahomes, Baby, Name
another one Patrick Mahomes. Friends, he's a pretty big name.
Oh one of the one of the Kelsey Brothers is on.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Which he plays basketball.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
All right, buddy, here we go.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
You know it, don't be Travis, Yes, Travis.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
What's the other guy's name, the other the.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Other Kelsey, Travis Kelsey's brother, Yeah, Jason.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Right, Jason, Jason. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know much
more than that, obviously, but I do know there was
a big ass fight with just a little bit of
time left in this game. One of the players, Brian Branch,
came out and smacked another in the helmet, like you
popped him, You just like hit him in the helmet.
This guy, Juju Smith Schuster was hit by by Brian

(12:56):
Brian Branch, and it just triggered a brawl. All right.
It looks okay for a second, and then they just
start spilling out and knocked one of them over. Brawl City.
I'll turn it down in case they start cursing in
the crowd and you're like, oh god, I mean, just

(13:18):
like everybody gathers in the center of the field and
these idiots are all fighting each other.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Like how do you even stop that when the entire
i mean both teams are going at it.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Oh yeah, you know what's tough now, I as a
football player myself, you know, I've played a little football.

Speaker 8 (13:37):
In my case.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
All right, Uh, one thing I know is It must
be hard to fight in full uniform like that because
you can't see anything. You don't have like a peripheral
vision and a helmet you don't have like you have
a little bit, but the helmet is covering a lot
of stuff, and like somebody could come behind you and
wallop you and kind of like duck and hide and

(14:00):
hide behind you if they wanted.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
To, or just wrap their fingers around your helmet and
you are now out of control. No's getting your head
whipped around.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, they could just wing you around like that. But
they all gather. They were kicking somebody. Look they're kicking
somebody down on the ground in the middle of all this. Boys,
come on, some messed ups up. These are all adults.
These are millionaires. These are all millionaire adults who are
supposed to be professional athletes. And what a catastrophe they
were fighting out in the middle of the field. After
the Allions lost to the Chiefs, one of the coaches

(14:30):
was very upset about this. And Dan Campbell is his name.
Let's see what Dan says about Brian Branch's action.

Speaker 9 (14:38):
I love Brown Branch, but what he did is inexcusable
and it's not going to be accepted here. It's not
what we do. It's not what we're about. I apologize
to Coach Reid and trouble Chiefs and you know, and shoot,
that's not okay. That's not what we do here, and
it's not going to be okay. He knows that our

(14:59):
team knows it, and uh so that's that's that's.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Not what we do all right now what we do,
he says. I don't know if that will be a
I mean, I guess so fine, right? Would you get
a fine for the fighting fighting and stuff that happens
out there? Does everybody get fined? Man? I had the
tidbit about how you can't see that well out of
the helmet sea and that was my contribution. The rest

(15:25):
of it.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
I don't know same amount of fine that owner got
for the double birds.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Uh what do you get to fifty two and fifty
thousand for that? Maybe maybe Brian Branch though in trouble
after that fight last night during the Chiefs Lions game,
and man, was it a barn burner of a game.
I was on the edge of my seat watching that,
I swear to you. I had my little flag I
was waving it, you know, I which flat the NFL. Yeah, yeah,

(15:53):
Roblo is very general. I didn't want to don't want
to take sides. Don't know enough about this. Over at
the box office this weekend, Number one, not really with
too many bullets. The New Tron movie. Anybody like Tron?
Anybody you ever ran into a Tron fan out there
in the world. I don't know that I have. Like

(16:13):
somebody was like, oh my god, I love I let
the Tron ride that the ride's cool. Yeah, it's cool.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, yeah, But you know a Tron fan from just
you know, crowd of regular people.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
I think maybe they are. They appear to be a
Jared leto fan, since he's like the main guy. I
think there's like there's crossover in those. Maybe they might
have a thirty seconds Tomorrow's shirt on, for instance, they
could have that. But Tron Aries or airs Aries was
the number one movie at the box office this weekend
thirty three point five million dollars. A Roofman was in

(16:49):
a number two, which is what's his name? Channing Tatum.
His new movie Roofman only made eight million dollars. Didn't
do all that well considering how many theaters it was in.
I do I saw an interview this week, and I
was like, it's an interesting kind of thing to throw
out in an interview. I'm a fan, call me a
nerd if you'd like. Okay, I'm a fan of the

(17:10):
twenty one Jump Street movie. Oh yeah, they're great. I
think they're funny as hell and I enjoyed them. And
in an interview talking about Roofman over the weekend, Channing
Tatum says to this reporter, he goes, we really want
to do twenty one Jump Street three or twenty three
Jump Street, I guess, And he said, you know, I'm in,

(17:32):
Jonah's in, Like everybody is in and on board. He
said the script is like the best script for this
he's ever seen in his entire life, and and it
will be so big and so huge. But there's one
producer who's holding out for so much money that even
though everybody else is taking pay cuts and stuff, the
one producer is like not going to do it, that

(17:53):
the movie might not get made. And I'm like, oh, man,
come on, And I was like, oh, interesting move, calling
out the producer by name. Oh did you hear the person?

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:02):
He did. Yeah. He's like he's like he's like everybody
wants a dabit. I want to dab it, but this
person is not getting enough money, so they're mad about it.
Is roof man not doing as well. Second place, eight
million dollars. One battle another, one battle after another. Leonardo
DiCaprio movie in it, number three with I think six
million dollars this weekend. The real tough hit was that

(18:25):
New j Loo movie that got I believe, thirteenth place
this weekend.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
He has not had much success.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
This is this is a hard anyway. I think. I
think that they said the movie, the New Jalo Movie
cost thirty five million dollars to make, and it made
in its opening weekend at thirteenth place eight hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (18:52):
Twenty million of that was paying j Loo and furnishing
her her double wide and with all white couches and
all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
I don't know if that's true, but I don't doubt
it nonetheless. So there you go. That's how everything looked
over there. We've got a ton of stuff to get
into today. We hope you'll hang out with us. We'll
talk more about that whole hostage release in the back
and forth going on there. But when we come back
I got some updates and some pretty interesting ones. We've
been chronicling this dude. I wasn't familiar with him before.
Mark Sanchez, the NFL broadcaster and former but but block

(19:27):
but but but but but that guy. He was a
Jet star and now he's an NFL commentator and he
got stabbed and then got arrested for getting stabbed, and
the story just gens. Yeah, yeah, but the story just
continues to get weird. In fact, I've got the clip

(19:49):
of him coming out of the hospital and it's one
of the one of the saddest things I've ever heard about, Like,
this man is broken. Wait to hear this and what
his ex wife is now saying. All that coming up
next in the news Chunkie. Before I play this, this

(20:20):
awkward ass new clip of this Mark Sanchez guy, which
you'll hear momentarily. I'll just bring you up to speed
if you're not following this Mark Sanchez is apparently, and
don't call him a star on Fox Sports, because I'm
in a video about this last week that did pretty well,
particularly on Facebook, and I said he was you know,
he's a star over at Fox Sports, and they were like,

(20:42):
he's not a star, and I'm like, well, I mean,
the guys like doing major broadcast sports over on Fox Sports.
So people are like, this guy sucks. He's not a
star at all. I had not heard of him prior
to this whole incident that happened with him in Indianapolis, Indiana,
I believe. But the story was Mark Sanchez was out

(21:06):
a couple of nights before the big football game he
was going to be broadcasting in the city, and he
was hammered out of his mind, maybe maybe on some
other stuff, and he left this bar he was at
and he starts running wind sprints in an alleyway, which
is like the.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, I do a couple of wind sprints every night,
especially when I'm out.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Never done that in my life, never, And maybe I'm
sprints right now. Maybe I'm not a sports guy, so
maybe that's that's a sports guy thing. Maybe sports guys
are like, all right, drunken wind sprints, Yeah, here you go,
not me, I don't do that. But he was doing
drunken wind sprints and then he saw this box truck
that was in the way of his drunken wind sprints,
and the guy was like a grease trap. Dude. This

(21:55):
guy was about seventy years old, and he was out
there at his box truck servicing the restaurant at the hotel,
and Mark Sanchez like got all up in the guy's business,
got up in the cap of his vehicle, started getting
confrontational with this guy. The guy's like pretty much death.
He has uh, he's supposed to be wearing hearing aids,

(22:17):
but he didn't have him in because in the box
truck you can't hear anything anyways, so he can't really hear.
He just knows somebody's screaming at him and like up
and up in his face. And Mark Sanchez starts like
getting into it with this guy, and the guy pepper
sprayed him. It didn't work, like like a hulked out maniac.
Mark Sanchez like wipes the pepper spray off and he

(22:38):
he wings it off like Spidey to try to shoot
it back at the person who shot it at him.
And then the old man, the grease trap guy, felt
like the only thing he could do was defend himself,
and he pulled out his knife and he stabbed Mark
Sanchez a couple of times in the in the stomach
and then in the chest. And at first everybody was

(22:58):
like thoughts in prayer to Mark Sanchez and his family
and Mark.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Sanchez beat the crap out of this guy, right.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Or no, Mark Sanchez beat him real good. Yeah, Like
in the hospital he had a huge gash on his face.
He had he had been beat up pretty bad though,
old guy, the seven year old guy sixty nine who
he got into it with. But at first it was
like Mark, Mark Sanchez is a victim. And then it
was like no, now he's getting charges, some misdemeanors, and

(23:25):
then more details came out. It was like no felony
charges for him. He was discharged from the hospital this weekend,
and he was like Charlie Brown or something, this is
like so sad, and like the cameras were coming up
to him and He's like, I just want to thank

(23:45):
my doctor and the surgical team.

Speaker 10 (23:48):
Mark, is there anything you want to say to people
of Indianapolis?

Speaker 11 (23:53):
And now I'm just focused on my recovery and I
just wanted to thank the first responders.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Could you make your voice smaller? Could you wanted to
thank for you first respond help me out?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Lawyers in the same slow walk as.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Many Asconazi the hospital. That's why you're going to I'm
t how you're gonna hit something, nice guy, Martine. I's
trying to think Dr Mossler, the surgeon.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
This doesn't come off as wind Sprints.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
This isn't wind Sprint's energy. Now he is on the
other side of it right now, He's.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
Like Sanchez look a little bit like Zach Morris had
some Mexican in his background.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah I could. I could see it. Yeah, I could
see it for sure. He's hurting. I mean he did.
He got stabbed, and he was not doing well for
a while. He was in critical condition, So I get
that part. He's held on to, at least for now,
his job with the NFL and Fox Sports. They have
not fired him yet, but he is. Have they said, Have.

Speaker 6 (24:59):
They made it any sort of statement or release about him,
Nothing of note that I've seen.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
I mean, they could have, but as far as I know,
they're just sticking with him, at least for now. So
I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for any better. Thank
you guys. Recovering slowly, recovering slowly, and he gets in
his raptor, alright, God see you later. It's like the

(25:30):
saddest little encounter. Then he had to go get booked
to go get booked for these felony charges that he
has against him, and then maybe the biggest whammy of all,
his ex and the mother of his son came out
and said, quote, none of this is surprising to me. Man,

(25:54):
that's you know, that says one.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Course, I guess you're not writing any sort of character
letter for me, Hobby.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Probably not. No, not a character witnessed this one. But
I mean, that's not a lot of words. None of
this is surprising to me, but I says so much. Yeah,
I can read through them quite a bit. I can
read through. This is his ex model named Bobby t.
She broke her silence on his harass. She has an
eight year old son named Daniel with Mark Sanchez, and

(26:23):
she says none of this is surprising to her. I'm
aware of the serious criminal charges currently facing my son's father,
Mark Sanchez. My foremost priority has always been and remains
our eight year old son, Daniel. I chose to remain
silent publicly to protect Daniel. Now that everything's out in
the open, my focus hasn't changed. I've always been concerned
for Daniel's safety, what he was exposed to. Sadly, none

(26:46):
of this is surprising to me stay in.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
The middle of something by chance, all right, custody.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I'm going to go out on a limb and say
that it's probably not good between them, So I don't
want to say, like, it doesn't seem like they are
getting along all that well, and they're co parenting as
of this moment. So maybe some stuff about him that
we learned as things go on, I gotta tell you.
And I don't know anything about this. I'm just just
giving you a hunch, maybe because I've been this person before.

(27:19):
Maybe I've been this person before. But they released more
video of him this weekend, and it was before he
went to this bar and before he was doing the
wind sprints, and he was just walking all around downtown Indianapolis,
looking all drunk, and it looked like a guy who
was trying to find some blow. That's what it looked like.

(27:40):
So this is a very particular look when you're trying
to see in a strange city, if you could discover
somebody who might have some cocaine for you. It's like, hey, man,
you just want zombie walking through the city.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Where does one go skiing here? Good man?

Speaker 1 (28:00):
You asked a couple of questions with a wink wink
in and not not and then you get from drunken zombie
walking to running sprints real quick when you get the
good stuff, at least let us know.

Speaker 6 (28:10):
What you think so odd as somebody who is a
person of note, you know, because I would imagine second,
I would imagine that you're like, all right, I'm Mark Sanchez.
I gotta find some cocaine. But people know Mark Sanchez.
So who do I really ask? You know, I got

(28:31):
to figure out who's going to be cool? Yeah, right
and cool?

Speaker 2 (28:36):
But as soon as I handed it over, he's I
could just want to warn you, this is going to
make you do some wind sprints and Beversbray will not
work on you.

Speaker 8 (28:44):
Man.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
You you are going to be shot out of a
candy Sanchez and shot out of a Cannony. He was,
by the way, worth taking a moment, barely, but worth
taking a moment to say hello to our friends in Canady.
We have a lot of Canadian listeners on the show.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
I guess Canada is today is their Thanksgiving? Yeah, I
mean that they have their own Thanksgiving Thanksgiving. I don't know,
I don't know. I'll share some of what I saw
online that I thought was a little strange about this.
Will we come back, We'll get geared up for any coffelt.
After that, we'll talk a little bit more about this

(29:22):
trade off with hostages and what went down there. But
the worst, and I mean the worst, the worst story
that I have heard in quite a while. Especially if
you go out and needed restaurants from time to time,
you might want to hear this and what this particular
employee did. There could be others, but we'll see what

(29:42):
happened because that is coming up next in the News Chunkie.
Join us so it's a dispatch by going to thenewsjunkie

(30:06):
dot com around the clock, Baby, you can record your
video or audio dispatches. Be careful over there, or fire
off an email over to tips tps at the newsjunkie
dot com. Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends. Happy Thanksgiving. Yeah,
always forget they have their own Thanksgiving. They do all
the same stuff. It's literally like the same meal that

(30:28):
they have for Canadian people. And they even watch like
Canadian football as they're eating their Thanksgiving meal in October.
Why not just do it on real Thanksgiving? Then it's
a different one. For that story, yeah, they call it Thanksgiving.
We call it Canadian Thanksgiving to differentiate between things. But
when I wake up and I see on different social

(30:49):
media platforms that Thanksgiving is trending, I go, wait, am
I okay, what happened? I get it? Oh have I
been in a coma And I'm just waking up now
and the roast is over and I missed it? But
what's going on? But I saw these messages? Was like,
happy Thanksgiving Canada.

Speaker 12 (31:06):
This weekend, Canadians are gathering with family and friends for Thanksgivings.
Grass changing, more divided, more uncertain world.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
This is a moment to.

Speaker 12 (31:15):
Slow down, don't bring us on what matters to give thanks.
I'm grateful for Canada today and always.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Oh they do like a thankful thing obviously, just like
you know Americans do. Here's what I'm thinking. I wonder
if they butcher it like you do. Hey, hey, I
butchered it once and then they never did it again.
They got rid of the decade decades decades on tradition
to was massacred by yours. Truly, it took was just

(31:46):
one grateful.

Speaker 12 (31:50):
Somebody said, this is a I know, the rights, the
freedoms and the opportunities that we have as Canadian looks
ai ish, grateful that all of us are part of
one extraordinary the problem.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
I keep waiting for this guy to grow wings. You know,
Courtney hates this stuff she does. She saw something this
weekend and I looked over and I try to be
nice about it, but she'll see a video and she'd
be like, oh my god, look at this, and I'll
go say, I there was a video this weekend from uh,
what's only in Dade. It's a very famous like Miami area,

(32:26):
Dade County, Florida usually get some great stuff, you know
they do. Yeah, it's a lot of great viral content
out of that area. And Courtney's flipping through Instagram and
she goes, oh my god. I said, what's going on?
And I said, did you just discover Canadian Thanksgiving too?
And she said no, no, no, no. She's looking at this
car and there's a car in the top of a tree.

(32:48):
This car is in the top of the tree on
this only a Dad post on Instagram and U was
driving it. Some guy on the ground is like, well, man,
I can't believe in HER's all mad, and she goes,
how did you even do this? And I go it's Ai,
and then she hits the comments and everybody's like Ai
Ai slop Ai slop AI slap, and She's like, I

(33:09):
hate this. I hate living in this timeline where I
can't just think that things by default are real. I
now have to look at everything and go, well, is
this real or is this fake?

Speaker 2 (33:20):
It gets worse then you become the person that everything
must be AI no way. I mean, especially going through
Sora Son Sora and I scroll through and then you
you get out of that black hole for an hour
looking at all these AI videos and you wonder, truly,
what is real anymore?

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Everything seems like.

Speaker 6 (33:43):
I still have not used I have not made anything
with Sora, but I tried this weekend because somebody sent
to one of our group chats a video of a
baby riding around a baby alligator that's pretty adorable. It
was pretty it was pretty a durable. The alligator was
going very fast, I mean, and I was like, did.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
You get inspired and take Jackson outside and go on
the hunt for an alligator to put him on top
of it?

Speaker 6 (34:07):
I no, I was gonna make a video of Jackson
where he just pulls a snake out from under the
table and I tried to do some AI stuff and
it was like, Sora does not allow for the use
of photorealistic images of people guard rail.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
That's my baby. I could do what I want.

Speaker 6 (34:28):
There wasn't like an answer, it wasn't a chat. It
was just like I just got this message and I
was like, well, this is stupid.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
It is kind of lame.

Speaker 9 (34:35):
Though.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Remember like back in the day watching I just heard
Martin Luther King Junior sing back that ass up, So
I know you're capable of this. His family is not
excited about that. By the way, Martin Luther King Junior's
estate is like, my father R loved one, did all
these things for civil rights in the United States of America,

(34:56):
and now he's singing juveniles back that ass up. What
is happened to these times? But imagine that this was
what was happening when we were young and growing up,
many of us. Where you would watch America's funny some videos,
he'd be like, oh, I think that's fake. Yeah, one
might be aim that's not real because it's convincing enough
now that it does kind of suck a little bit.

(35:18):
But I assure you this is real. I assure you
that this is indeed real in California, Huntington Beach this
weekend on Saturday. I know what's going on in the
sky's over California, but uh, helicopters do be dropping out
of them. And there were so many videos of this

(35:38):
because where it happened near the beach, there was lots
of people and they filmed it and this chopper just
looked like it was doing okay, all right, it's like
pretty low. It's right over the palm trees that one
dust and the tail wrote or something boss, something broke
on it, and before you know it, it starts spinning.

(36:02):
Yeah that's where you.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
And I was like, all right, we gotta go.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
And then it just crashes into a palm tree and
smashes into the ground.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
And you see the other angle of it.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
I've seen a couple of them, but well on one
angle there's a little kid that got pinned underneath, so.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
He was recording right by it, realized that okay, it's
going down, run away. Then turn around and there is
a little boy who is literally I mean one more
inch and he would be a flat, squish, dead little boy.
And then trying ran in lifted it up.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah yeah, yeah, they're trying to. They're like they're bending
their knees trying to lift the chopper up to get
all these people out. And they said there were five
people injured total, and I don't know if there's any
deaths as of yet, but stunning that anybody would be
able to survive that at all. Lots of angles picking
up this crash because it was just right in the

(36:58):
middle of everything in Huntington Beach, California, and it seemed
like everything was fine, and then all of a sudden,
the planet the chopper just started whipping around. And once
it starts doing that, you see something fall right off
of it there, you know, like there's a large piece
of the tail of the chopper that just comes off,

(37:18):
pops off right there and then ends up landing down
here on the ground for those of you watching. For
everybody else, the chopper comes down just seconds later, you know,
it crashes right into this tree. And if everybody survives,
thank god, you know, thank god, because that could have
been even worse than it was. So another chopper incident

(37:39):
over in California. Let's be a little safer with those,
if we can in any way at all real quick,
let's see what we got. Some folks chiming in with
their emails. You can email the show tips at the
Newsjunkie dot com. Somebody says, what's up news Junkies, Hey Sean.
If you go back and listen to the Mark Sanchez
video of him getting released from the hospital, his voice
almost sounds like he's impersonating Charlie Hunam impersonating ed Gean

(38:06):
in Monster One Way to Go, But yeah, I mean
impersonating the guy from Monster. Keep up the work. He's
really trying to like make himself as low energy as possible,
so he's not the Windsprints guy in that clip and
that one particular clip at least. I don't know if
we'll be able to get into and we're gonna have
to wait, I think on the person at the restaurant,

(38:27):
who's the worst employee ever. But you got to hear this.
We'll do it after Amy Kaufel joins us real quick,
Alexander to tips at the news Junkie dot com. While
getting myself caught up on miss shows, I was listening
to the third Thursday podcast. Right in the middle of
what Are Your Early Segments, there was an ad for
of all Things guns. Either they're getting incredibly personalized when
you download the podcast, or there seems to be a

(38:48):
trend among your listener base. Honestly, I was more surprised
that kind of ad was on there. Anyways, love the show.
You keep me saying during these BS times at work,
and I'm not sure I would still be at my
company if I couldn't listen to you guys during works
to rehab the volume. Thank you Alex for listening to us.
We appreciate it. I don't know what's going on with that.
We've had issues where they inject ads. I haven't changed

(39:09):
anything about how I post the podcast, but I'll check
back in with it and make sure everything's where it
should be. And you can always fall back to the
YouTube vod which you can get over on thenewsjunkie dot com.
All right, quick break. When we come back, we will
of course have our friend Amy Kaufel from Fox thirty
five join us on the show. She's going to give

(39:30):
us a rundown of all the news grabbing her attention
and everything happening in her world. It's always good to
catch up with Amy, and that is coming up next
in the News Junkie. It is Monday. It's our favorite time.

(39:56):
It surely is, because that's the time when we get
to hang out with our friend, the amazing, the talented
Amy Kaffel thirty. There she is, look at her, ready
to go on this show today, Amy. How are you?
How are things on a Monday here in a fresh week?

Speaker 8 (40:16):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Good, it is.

Speaker 13 (40:18):
It's a the Monday, Monday est of mondays you guys.

Speaker 14 (40:21):
So I just came into the booth to set up
to come talk to you, and the computer decided it
needed to do what's called a forced update.

Speaker 13 (40:28):
Has that ever happened to you?

Speaker 6 (40:29):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Yeah, it happens during our show all the time.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Yep, yep, yep. They get us with that all the time.
And then they'll go, hey, you guys, can't go to
commercial break, by the way, because we've got a forced
update going on over here, So keep talking for twenty
thirty minutes or so. So everything goes around here, and.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
When the update happens, I'm like, what challenge?

Speaker 14 (40:47):
Well, it was doing like really good, and then it
got to the last ninety eight percent and it decided
that the last two percent was going to take like
ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
When you prepay for gas, Yeah, that is like when
you prepay for gas, the last little bit takes a
long time.

Speaker 6 (41:02):
The first like fifty eight dollars, you know, it just
soars into your car, and then the last couple dollars
is like thirty minutes of trickle.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
You know. I don't know if we've ever talked to
her about this, but Amy, with all this stuff happening
with AI and AI videos, and we've talked a bunch
about the new technology released by open AI, I was
talking to her the brakes a little bit. I said,
the new thing. It's been hard to discern what's really
going on is a lot of these ICE videos that
I see and you're watch an ICE video and there's

(41:35):
no real context with it. One was this weekend, some
girl and like this six year old girl was being
arrested by ice, but it turned out it wasn't a
six year old girl. It was like some woman in
her twenties, and there was a whole backstory to it.
And then there was another one where it was like
a sixteen year old girl and they were chasing her
car and then she jumped out. She was screaming like
I'm sixteen, I'm sixteen. And then people said No, that

(41:56):
was actually an arrest from a year ago, and it
was about somebody who was terrorizing people on the subway.
But then it turned out that wasn't true either.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
And did you see the one where they arrested a
chihuahua wearing a sombrero and that apparently was Ai?

Speaker 1 (42:10):
That Oh, I thought that was real. I thought that
one was legit. But it's it's truly like, it's pretty
hard these days to determine what's real what's fake. And
it's not even just AI, it's also the world that
we live in. Amy of the clips where you go, well,
what happened right before this and right after this? I
just get like a.

Speaker 14 (42:29):
Little bit, No, you're so right, And I think that
you know, it used to believe.

Speaker 13 (42:33):
It used to be that you could believe.

Speaker 14 (42:35):
What you saw with your own eyes, and now that
it's not true. And I think that, you know, even
in the news business, and I know you guys have
to be really hesitant. We're super careful about if you
were send in video, you know, verifying that it's real.
Sometimes now you have to have like multiple videos to
corroberate something just because you don't you don't.

Speaker 13 (42:53):
Know, you know what you're dealing with, and.

Speaker 14 (42:56):
And you also brought up a good point about how
it's not just you know, it's not just the AI videos, right,
it's the clips. Yeah, and we see that all the time.
And how many times do you see a clip on
social media and in the comment section it'll say, great,
but what happened right before or right after?

Speaker 13 (43:10):
We missed the whole thing leading up to you know,
why was this woman enrage in a restaurant? Like what happened?

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Leading?

Speaker 13 (43:17):
I mean, you don't know.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
It's one of the most disheartening things. How many people
are just willing to openly lie to everybody in twenty
twenty five, like for internet points or for political stuff.
There's so many people who are just like willing to
be completely dishonest about stuff. I hate that. I hate that.
I don't know a good way to fix that, unfortunately,

(43:39):
but I do hate that. That's something and now everybody
has to be on their toes. How was your weekend?
Anything exciting going on in your world? Amy?

Speaker 13 (43:47):
It was good.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
It was good.

Speaker 14 (43:48):
Caroline came home this weekend from college, so it was
awesome to have her home for a couple of days.
And it was funny you guys will appreciate this. She
was like, she's in Pennsylvania, so she was like, I
really want to go to the beach. And I was like,
I don't, like it's a good idea to go to
the beach right now, but I really want to go
to the beach.

Speaker 13 (44:03):
I just missed being on the beach.

Speaker 14 (44:04):
I was like, there's like hardly any beach because the
tide was so high. And then you guys know, they've
had this like double red flag warning.

Speaker 13 (44:11):
I got to say, some treacherous. It's horrible.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
I saw, you know this morning, you guys talking about
in the news. I can't remember the last time the
beach had that, this double flag warning.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
What does that mean? What's a double red flag?

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Do not go in the water? There is going in
the water. That's it almost Do you.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Mean you like you actually can't you get in trouble
if you go.

Speaker 8 (44:31):
In the water.

Speaker 13 (44:31):
Yeah, yeah, no.

Speaker 14 (44:32):
There were surfers in the water this morning. We kept
looking at the monarch. We have like beach camps where
we can see we have a camera at the hard
Rock Hotel in Daytona Beach.

Speaker 13 (44:38):
You can see all the.

Speaker 14 (44:39):
Surfers in the water. And you know how that goes.
I mean, they're they're going to do what they want
to do. But yeah, double red flag means absolutely no
one in the water. And part of it is because
the jetty got torn up. The dock like sort of
heading out towards the jetty and pops inlet and so
there's like all this like raw wood and lumber in
the water that's floating around. They're just a mess and

(45:01):
there's no certainly no driving on the beaches. So anyway,
of course, you know, kids don't don't believe you until
they see it for themselves. So she went up there
yesterday and she was like, you're right, the beaches are
good right now.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
She was hopeful until a double red flag, but.

Speaker 13 (45:15):
She still got a sunburn, you know.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Yeah, you got to make the most of it. I
like that she did that. It's tough times out there.
She's just trying to get a relaxing moment away from
her school. They do they still get on like apparently
us Amy Kaufel. Do they still get Columbus Day off?
The kids all do.

Speaker 14 (45:33):
Yeah, they actually got today and tomorrow off, so I
have to go back till tomorrow. But it's interesting, that's
so that's when she's up in Pennsylvania. But like at
Florida State, like I have a daughter at Florida State,
they still have class today, you know usf they.

Speaker 13 (45:46):
Still have class today. So I don't know, I don't
know how they decide what.

Speaker 14 (45:50):
I'm sure there's like a certain number of holidays that
they do get off. But then she did have to
go to class on Labor Day, which you would think
that would be a for sure day off.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
But you know, when they get a job after college,
they can take off Labor Day.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Everything is all over the place these days. All right,
let's see what's going on out there, Amy, What was
really grabbing your attention in the headlines for Fox thirty
five this morning.

Speaker 14 (46:13):
Well, the big thing is, you guys know, is the
President is in the Middle East. He started the morning
in Israel with the release of the twenty Israeli hostages
who are still living, and then went on from there
to Egypt where they're going to be meeting with Middle
Eastern countries to continue to talk about peace in the
region and how to prosper there. But it was funny

(46:35):
because we thought the president was actually going to start
talking about four o'clock this morning our time, and that
didn't happen.

Speaker 13 (46:42):
So we were kind of just like waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting,
waiting for him to talk.

Speaker 14 (46:45):
And then so finally that happened about seven fifteen this morning,
and that went, he went. He spoke for almost a
full hour. I feel, I think a little bit longer
than an hour. There was an interruption. I don't know
if you guys were watching it. Yeah, there was like
a big interruption and I was like, who was that?
Turns out that it was a four left Israeli politician
who started yelling not that long into into Trump's speech.

(47:09):
His name is Opher Cassif, a member of the parliament
from the the Hedash party, started shouting as Trump was
talking about his special Envoyeed whit cough.

Speaker 13 (47:22):
So I think I have dragged out. Did you guys
see that?

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Yeah, I have that right here. Let's let's peek in
and see how this went. Let's listen in.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Cane member, please expel this kinessic member.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
I know exactly what's going on right now. So somebody
got up and started screaming. They escorted him out of there,
and then they started clapping afterwards. So there was at
least one interruption like that as he was addressing what's
the the equivalent to like their congress over there, Parliament
maybe yeah.

Speaker 13 (48:04):
Yeah, they called it, but yeah, it's basically parliament.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 13 (48:07):
So he's been banned.

Speaker 14 (48:09):
He was previously banned from Parliament for two months back
in July, so he apparently had just gotten back not
that long ago, and now I'm guessing he's going to
be banned again.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
So why'd they let the band guy back in for this?
You would have thought that this would have been high
up on radar. So now I mean, I'm watching this
amy and another disheartening thing is seeing the people who
are kind of rooting against this because they hate Trump
so much. I'm like, this is good for anybody who
still has a life in Gaza. A lot of these

(48:39):
young kids, so many people in the population of Gaza
are actually under the age of twenty one, a lot
of them are under eighteen or very young the population,
and they've just been bombed to helen back for a
very very long time. You know. Israel obviously had October seventh,
which is just unbelievable, disgusting massacre that scipitated all of

(49:00):
this stuff. And for somebody to come in and do
what seemingly nobody else could could do and put a
stop to that, and after what seven hundred and thirty
eight days, get the hostages released. To me, that's a
win and I love to see it. Yeah, I mean
I think there will be people who are like who
don't like it because.

Speaker 13 (49:18):
Of politics, and they.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
Go ahead.

Speaker 13 (49:22):
Sorry I couldn't hear you heealing.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (49:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (49:26):
They actually there's a section of Tel Aviv that they've
called Hostage Square where they have been, you know, basically
celebrating all morning.

Speaker 13 (49:36):
And watching the reunification.

Speaker 14 (49:37):
But just looking at some of the videos of some
of these hostages who are being reunited with their families,
I mean, they are just truly skin and.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
No emotional So it's going to take a.

Speaker 14 (49:45):
Long long time for them, yeah, to get to the
point where they are even remotely healthy again.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Yeah. Some people are just excited to like get the
remains of their loved going back because they haven't even
had that for for so long. So, I mean, I
hope that we all of these armed conflicts that we
could see, if we could see any kind of end
to them. There's the wasteless loss of human life as
a travesty, and to see this on a path that

(50:12):
looks better than it has for certainly at the very
least seven hundred and thirty eight days or more, it
seems like a good thing to me. What else was
grabbing your attention out there? Amy?

Speaker 14 (50:21):
We got another rocket launch tonight, so looking forward to that.
This is SpaceX actually helping to launch some Amazon satellite,
which is kind of interesting that two of them working
hand in hand because, as you guys know, Amazon Jeff
Bezos also has their own rocket programs. So but SpaceX
is helping helping to get some of their satellites out.

Speaker 13 (50:39):
That's supposed to happen a.

Speaker 14 (50:40):
Little after eight o'clock tonight, so it should be beautiful,
clear night for that. Oh my gosh, you guys, this
weather is like amazing, very nice.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
I love it, Brad, I wish we were outside.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
Yeah, I don't know. Do you think it's too early
for us? For those of you in New York and elsewhere?
Sorry for this, but like it's been gorgeous the last
couple of days temperature wise. Is it too early for
us to be like, Okay, now it's going to be
like this is this still gonna We're gonna get blasted
with some heat again.

Speaker 14 (51:07):
So Brooke said this morning that this is probably like
temporary fall, but I don't care.

Speaker 13 (51:12):
I'll still take it.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
I'm happy, all right, We'll take it for now at least. Yeah.
I mean, any news other than just like meltingly hot
for a while is good news. I would think anything
else getting your attention out there, Amy, that's about it,
you guys.

Speaker 14 (51:28):
I think it's been kind of a quiet day the holiday.
The kids are out of school today, so it's a
little quiet just, you know, other than you know, obviously
the big international news this morning, which we're going to
continue to follow us throughout the day because now we've
got the peace talks that are happening in Egypt as well,
so certainly an important visit for the president and we'll
be very closely monitoring it.

Speaker 13 (51:47):
We also have been talking to a local group.

Speaker 14 (51:49):
Here that has helped to rescue some Americans out of
the war zone over the last couple of years, so
we'll be following up with them today too, because obviously
they're very happy to have now some answers and some
peace for the hopefully the you know, distant future, I
really hope. So you guys feel like, you know, none
of us are that old, but we have been talking

(52:10):
about Middle East crisis for a very long time.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Yeah yeah, yeah, different tracked entirely here. I'll tie it
together and make it make sense, Samy. But what what's
your policy on handshakes? What do you are you? Are
you a handshaker? And do you have a strategy when
you go in for a handshake, especially with like somebody
that maybe you're not super close with, Like we might

(52:35):
get a hug from you if we saw you somewhere,
but somebody else, do you go in for a power
handshake being a power business woman or no.

Speaker 13 (52:44):
Okay, so that's interesting you'd say that. So I am
a hugger. I actually prefer hugs over handshakes.

Speaker 14 (52:49):
However, if it's somebody that I don't know or like
an official person, obviously I'm not going to like just
like walk up and hug them because that's weird. So
so I do I like to do what I call
a medium handshake, which is not too soft. It's like,
I don't know what you call it, like not too hard.
So it's got to be like like Goldilocks in the
Three Goldilocks and the Three bears.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Right in the middle. But do you grab the mid
do you like grab the elbow when you shake the hand,
or do you just you're just focused on Oh that's
a move.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
I know.

Speaker 13 (53:20):
I actually grabbed the other arm.

Speaker 14 (53:22):
So like, if I'm so I'm shaking with my right hand,
I'll use my left hand to like maybe touch the shoulder.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
Oh that's an hour right there.

Speaker 13 (53:32):
It's like shoulder touched.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
I bring that up because one of the most embarrassing
things about men is the handshake greeting and and how
it gets used. Yeah, like here's an example. This was
just a couple of hours ago at the whole thing
in the Middle East where Trump was meeting with McCain,
the leader of France, and they had a moment all right,

(53:55):
going up hand chick one two for I still holding hands,
Still got a handshake going and still holding hands, Still
holding hands, folks, the handshake continues.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
It's like.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
They're pulling each other crush. It's like a tug of war.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
They're stuck together. And that's it.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
And that's guys, guys, what are we doing here?

Speaker 14 (54:27):
It was also like a little bro like the little
bro thing like in the middle you know what I
mean like it was.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Like an arm wrestling match. That's what it turned into,
pulling each other into each other. Guys, why do we
have to do this?

Speaker 14 (54:42):
This is I think it's because the pictures, because there's
probably like what we can't see in the video right
is like there's probably a thousand still photographers there in
the audience, and they're all getting pictures, so they like
prolong it. It's just like they do in the Hollywood
Red carpet, you know how they like prolong like the
the ridiculousness of the moment, so that everybody can get

(55:03):
their pictures.

Speaker 6 (55:04):
Yeah, photographers need to be better at getting the picture.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
You know, the.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
Real power move. This is just limpfish it just give
them just a real carry them.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Like a baby, like a promo.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
I don't know that's a move. That's a move. They're
not going to know strategically how to respond to that.

Speaker 13 (55:22):
But okay, so since.

Speaker 14 (55:23):
You brought up Macrone, what do you guys think about
I was looking at the pictures of Katy Perry and
Justin Trudeau this morning.

Speaker 13 (55:31):
Making out with each other. Did you guys see that
there's really weird to me about like a world leader
dating I don't.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
Yeah, does it feel.

Speaker 13 (55:40):
Weird world later leader's dating life?

Speaker 1 (55:44):
It seems weird because you don't have too many single
world leaders. I don't think the case. Yeah, what was
a movie.

Speaker 6 (55:51):
Where the president had lost his wife and he starts
dating like a lobbyist.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Dave was a day.

Speaker 14 (55:57):
No, not the one where it was like Dve like
where he played like he was like the stand in
for the president.

Speaker 6 (56:04):
Yeah, Dave was a fake president. That was a different one,
But I love Dave. That's a great movie. I think
it's called The American President or something.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
Oh, okay okay, And it was like kind.

Speaker 6 (56:14):
Of it was fascinating because it was kind of.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
A look at what we would all be.

Speaker 6 (56:19):
Like if the president of the United States had a girlfriend,
and like how the news would follow it around and
they found her burning a flag in old footage.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Like I was like, this is exactly how I would act.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
You're on Tinder in DC and all of a sudden
you're swiping right on the president newly president.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Do we have a female president who sinking like Angela
Merkel in Germany? Is she is she single? I don't know.

Speaker 13 (56:44):
It's a good question.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
I'd like to see them throwing it around.

Speaker 13 (56:47):
You know, I'm just like I'm looking okay.

Speaker 14 (56:48):
So TMZ has a story about it, and they're like
security guards reportedly watched the duo as they dined and
then after dinner as they allegedly walked into the kitchen
to thank the staff, and the security is like following
them around.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
Like that's weird.

Speaker 13 (57:02):
So like you're on a date.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
And like Katy Perry following you.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Yeah, there's never any privacy. That's why those relationships are garbage.
It never works that out. They never know what it's
like to be in front of one of another. They
never accidentally burped in the other one's face or anything.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Maybe the type of person you have to be with
U any normal, you know, weird run of the mill.
Not only is Katy Perry a you know, recording artist
platinum dare I say she's been to space?

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Kind of oh god? Remember? And I wonder if she
just yaps about that on those three All right, Well,
she's the best of the best. We think she is
the most talented person in because she she she is. Yes,
Amy Kawfel from Fox thirty five, Sure you're following her

(57:52):
on all social media platforms. Search for Amy Kaufel and
follow Fox thirty five not only on YouTube and stuff,
but make sure you're waking up if you're here locally
every single day with the crew at g D. Thank you, Amy,
We'll see you next week.

Speaker 13 (58:05):
Love you guys.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
It's the best, Amy. Kay. All right, we're gonna take
quick break when we come back. We've got a bunch
of more clips to work in here. At some point
in time, a lot of people are starting to dispatch
the show. But I got to pay off this tease
about this person. It was just a nightmare and working
at a restaurant. Wait, do you hear what this guy
did over a decent period of time at a restaurant.

(58:29):
It is true nightmare material and it's coming up next
in the news.

Speaker 15 (58:32):
Junk key.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
This is disgusting. This person should be put right into
the wood chipper. I really say, like, don't pass go,
don't collect two hundred dollars on a guy like this.
But there's a Kansas man who's in big trouble. He's
going to spend over a decade behind bars. For the
word they use in some of these articles is adulterating

(59:12):
the food at the steak restaurant where he worked adulterating.

Speaker 8 (59:16):
All right.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
I don't know. That's a weird way to phrase this
whole thing. But the guy's name is Jace Hanson, all right,
Jase Hansen. He pleaded guilty to not one, not two,
but thirty three charges against him for doing this. All right. Now.

Speaker 6 (59:35):
I have not looked at the article yet, but it
says adulterate to render something poorer in quality by adding
another substance.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
I saw that. The story is Yeah, I mean, I
think it's a fair way to say it. Looking at this,
I absolutely think that's a fair way to say it.
This guy worked at a steak restaurant, and the judge
said to him when sentencing him, repulsive doesn't even begin
to cover it. That's what the judge said about this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Yeah, they went for this guy. I can't see what
the name of the actual establishment is. Oh here, gosh,
he looks like a younger version of my older roommate. Yeah,
I hope your roommate didn't do this. He's this guy
did some thing.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
My god. The headline I just.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Read it probably mentions some of the things he pled
guilty to. Here they said he posted graphic videos of
some of the videos or some of the incidents himself
on the internet. The charges include twenty two counts of
criminal threat, one count of criminal damage, and ten counts
of sexual exploitation of a child. He was sentenced to
over eleven years in state prison, and they had received

(01:00:48):
a tip that he posted videos showing himself urinating on
food and rubbing the food on his genitals while on
the clock at Hereford House, a steak restaurant in Kansas City.
I hope you have not been there before. I hope,
for your sake, you never went there. An FBI special
agent later produced thumbnail images posted by a user with

(01:01:08):
a handle vandalizer. The thumbnails showed a man doing all
of this stuff with his genitals, backside and feet to
the food. They said he would relieve himself in the ah.
This is gonna ruin it for me. It's gonna ruin
it for me. He relieved himself in the aug you
sauce and pickle jars and pressed his privates to pieces

(01:01:32):
of salmon. What what is mom?

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
You disturbed monstrous individual. Ed Gean has nothing on you, sir.
This is in fact worse. This is worse, all right.
The next season of Monsters about this guy one such
such message said, I really want this life. Honestly, these
are some of the videos he posted online. It's the
only thing I live for working, so I hopefully could
do as much damage as I can someday. This guy

(01:01:58):
wanted to watch the world burn.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
Even just put his genitals all over the world.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
It's disgusting, absolutely discussing, he said. And don't believe him
for a second. He said, I would take it all
back if I could. Yeah, yeah, okay, right, okay, buddy,
you literally said it was the only thing you were
living for when you were doing it and getting away
with all this grows stuff. But now it's he he's
just disgusting. What else did you see he let anything
else on this? He said? It gets worse. Yeah, the

(01:02:26):
other stuff he was charged with. I only see this
stuff about the food, and then I saw that there
were charges about like child. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:02:33):
The resulting police investigation confirmed the food tambering and uncovered
an even darker element, videos depicting child sexual abuse and
messages from Hanson about his desire to commit such crimes.

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
Actually, this is where bry this guy behind the prison.

Speaker 6 (01:02:48):
Okay, this is where this particular article uses the quote
I really want this life. Honestly, it's the only thing
I live for working so I can hopefully do as
much damage as I can, Lee would. Detective Jack Bond,
which is a great detective name, Jack Bond, uh huh,
testified the material found was quote the most brutal and

(01:03:09):
violent child sexual abuse material that I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Jesus Christ. I mean, like, eleven years ain't enough. It's
not enough when you see somebody who's doing that kind.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
Of stuff better working in the kitchen jail.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
Yeah, right, you know what, this guy anywhere near anything,
just absolutely vile. All right, let's see here, let's come
in a couple other things. Yeah. I wanted to work
that out fast and not go to in depth if
somebody was having a nice little sandwich or something at
the moment. But there you go, that's what happened with
this particular guy. Eleven years does not seem enough for him.

(01:03:42):
But what do you think? Let us know? Send a
dispatch at Thetnewsjunkie dot com. Another interaction with Trump over
in Israel. This one was not a heckle, but I
think one of the parents, possibly one of the the
hostage families, were talking as Trump was there let's see
what was said. Let's listen to along with my friends,
which we're all.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
One of them was still health. This mom is still
held in later on, I was all right.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
This guy who is one of the release hostages, he
has a sling over one arm at the moment as
he's talking to Trump and net in Yahoo at this
event after the release of these hostages, and he's saying,
like a lot of his friends ended up dying obviously.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
Four hundred and ninety days, leaving my wife with just
two roles up to them. And she was presidant and
the bomb holder for the older than Jesus. She had
her own gave birth and I my life to you
and your staff.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
So he said, my wife was pregnant at the time
that I was kidnapped. She later on gave birth and
I got my life back thanks to you. This was
one of the hostages talking to President Trump over there
in Israel. I've seen more of these. All these moments
are pretty heartbreak but beautiful. At the same time, one
of the family members got a video call from this

(01:05:06):
hostage that had been for seven hundred and thirty eight
days with Hamas, and then they realized that they were
gonna be able to come home.

Speaker 16 (01:05:16):
So this is a nuts and Gatko who has become
a symbol called the family.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
She's a single mother. This is her son, Mattan Sengaka.

Speaker 16 (01:05:24):
This is one of the hostiles who was still in Gaza.
So it's basically Hams holding up the phone for him
and cluding his mouth. This is the first time he's speaking.
He is because he's still captain.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
So they had called the families and they had done
these like proof of life calls right before they ended
up releasing these people. And you had over twenty of
the hostages after all those days released in exchange for
over a thousand Palestinians that were in custody in Israel

(01:05:55):
in a pretty big prisoner swap, and hopefully all the
rest of the peace plan goes through. I really think
it's just fantastic news for the world to see this happening.

Speaker 6 (01:06:05):
Finally, what point are we at in the twenty there's
a twenty point plan.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
Right, there's a lot of points to the plan. Yes, indeed,
I don't I think we're still at point like two
because this is where they're releasing the each side's hostages
and then Hamas has to haul ass and get out
of there, and then they got to put other people
in charge and rebuild, and that all is going to
take a very very long time. Okay, when we come
back the next episode with Sabrina, what's coming up on

(01:06:31):
the next Step episode?

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
What's coming on? We've been a very very sad adude

And that is coming up next in the news Junkie.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Okay, we will get into your feedback, the first feedback
of the show dispatch wise before too long. Here, well,
right now it's time to do it. So here we
go head first into it. Let's do the next Step episode.
Because there's a lot on TV. You can't possibly keep
up with all of it, even though you should, because
what else are you going to talk about? I'm a
stripper and I also love spreadsheets. Nothing nice. It's time

(01:07:48):
for the next episode with Sabrina.

And thank god for a very random man by the
name of x on YouTube who created this song about
falling down wells. That's the video I sent you.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
Oh I'm sorry, hang on, I did not know that's
what we're going.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):

to look.

Is this a bit? Is this guy? Is that? Is
this how he always looks? He's got like, I mean
locks for days.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Would you believe me if I told you that song
goes on for another four and a half minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
Beautiful, beautiful, it looks like it.

Speaker 6 (01:09:43):
Looks like if you rip his wig off and facial hair,
it could either be Brian Cranston or Stephen Root.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
It's a character.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Thattter is the same like length and curl for Puba cares.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):

Speaker 8 (01:10:10):
Please wow, all right, he did absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):

attention of the country. Hundreds of rescue workers for fifty
eight hours got Jessica out of that. Well, nice work,
and now what what you do?

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
She is a prostitute now?

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
And yeah, well only this was very very sad, I
think for a lot of people. But rest in peace,
Diane Keaton all people.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
I was out of nowhere, Yeah and sad.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
She died on Saturday, seventy nine years old. No word
yet on cause of death. But I did see the
rumors of Swirlen that she was like rushed to the hospital.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
Oh yeah, something happened. They said that she had dropped
a lot of weight recently, you know, like that all
of a sudden her health seemed to take a turn,
and then she had a pretty big drop in her
body weight.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
So yeah, pretty sick, unexpected, and that her health declined
rapidly in the recent months and her final month she
was surrounded by only her closest family chose to keep
things private. Even longtime friends weren't aware of what was happening. Damn,
we bit a do playing against Sam Sleeper Manhattan, U
Annie Hall, I have been it's got to give.

Speaker 6 (01:11:44):
I've been informed that our household proceedings for morning Day's
death will be Diane Keaton movies all week. So his
first wives club last night. Uh, only half paid attention
to it. But you know, I'm on.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
The family stone looking for mister goodbarn.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
No, what's the what's the one where Steve Martin.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
Yes, father, rest in peace. Someone who was alive but
behind bars, Darius McCrary whereas you know him?

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
H Winslow.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Oh, yeah, what was the kid's name?

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
Le?

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
Not Erkele the sn winslows.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
Oh, but you know his face.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
He was arrested near the US Mexico border, currently sitting
in a San Diago jail and it got picked up
for an out of state felony charged. Did I do that?
That's not one of his lines. Anyone got the character
wins his case? Uh says this is a fugitive arrest.

(01:12:53):
The section of the California Penal Code listed online records
to that applies to individuals in California who are wanted
by another state for a serious crime.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
I knew it. He looked like a criminal. I knew
he was up to something.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
It's worth noting now the first time it's been up
to something. John been arrested twice before, and for allegedly
failing to pay child support. I guess family didn't matter.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
Ah, I see, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
But your brain matters. I mean, your brain is matter
and it could be a whole mess unless you do
Julianne Moore's new fitness tip.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
I'm listening. I'm trying to drop some weight till before
the roast. What can I do here?

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
Well, this one's good for your brain.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
Okay, I can use that too. I can use the
brain improvement as well, she says.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
I remember I had a trainer who used to say
you should take the opportunity to walk backwards.

Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
Oh really okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
Every once in a while I just go ahead and
walk back, especially up a hill, because it's so good
for your body and brain, because your brain's like, whoa,
what's that? Direct quote? What's that up a hill? Christy Julie.
Anything that gets you out of your normal routine, meeting
new people, learning a new game, a language, or just

(01:14:19):
walking backwards up a hill? What was she thinking?

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
So weird that she picked the most mundane thing first, like.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Also died, here's something stupid.

Speaker 6 (01:14:29):
All the other things she listed are probably, you know,
learning a language, you know, to taking learning something good,
all that kind of stuff for your brain. But she
picks walking backwards up a hill to leave the way.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
It's the equivalent instead of learning a new language, just
find a hill and walk backwards.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
I'm not going to fall. What I'm going to fall?

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
Or you're going to fall? For some fake Paddington Bears
on the internet, and they're sick of it, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
Sick of it. I do like some Paddington Bear.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Now did they put pants on him this time? Is
that just one of the poop without pants? No, Paddington
doesn't have pants.

Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
He's got the red hat in the blue raincoat. Yeah,
it's his look.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
The producers behind the Paddington films and the estate of
author Michael Bond have launched a High Court action against
the makers of Spitting.

Speaker 6 (01:15:20):
Image Second Bond in Today's show None of Them James, Maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Just cousins after the beloved children's character has turned into
ay drug taking foul mouth parody. Okay jobviously I would
send you if it wasn't for the foul.

Speaker 1 (01:15:36):
Is this him? He looks a little rough for Were's
that terrifying? Yeah, it's like a fire at the BUILDE
Bear workshop. Something bad happening here.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Studio Canal Charlie Christopher, which owns the film's rights to
Paddington and the Bond of State, claim the satirical puppet
shows YouTube spin off The Rest Is Bitch infringed on
There is it?

Speaker 15 (01:16:08):
Bitch?

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
It must be The Rest Is Bitch, the YouTube spin
off of Paddington Bear it infringed their copyright and design
rights by depicting the famous bear in an offensive and
adult manner. Riddle me, this is that not parody?

Speaker 9 (01:16:21):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
It seems like it would be. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
Does the High Court not have parody law?

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Is it just the UK laws are all sorts of backwards.
It's it's it's a real issue for sure, but I
mean we'll see that. Maybe they win, right, maybe they win.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
It tests the limits of the UK's fair dealing provisions.
So not parody, just fat dealings.

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
This is be the rest is bs. I guess the
name of it because this says the rest is b
u L you know, yeah censored.

Speaker 6 (01:16:50):
Did you see how Spitting Image like clapped back at
the studio for this lawsuit. No, they're called Studio Canal
and so they're like they roasted them, calling him Studio
c Anal.

You guys can go ahead and clap.

Speaker 6 (01:18:06):
And give me the lead singer of lost Profits profits.

Speaker 1 (01:18:13):
Huge.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
Well, no, no, don't.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
I am gonna say strong possibility that he didn't make
He died in jail. He was killed by two other inmates.
And uh, I'm not in the UK too, you know
what I mean? Like this seems like less of a
problem over there with.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
Hey, I think.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
I'm not there to support these people for killing a
human being, but I'm also not here to get too
mad about it considering this guy's background. What went down,
we'll talk about this, we'll talk about how this actually
happened in just a bit here on the show. And
then a woman went to board her American Airlines flag
when the unthinkable happened. There wasn't a plane there at all.

(01:19:05):
What what went down? And how could this happen to you?
That is coming up next in the news junkie. A

(01:19:28):
woman in China. She went the extra mile. I mean,
I look, I think a lot of us have had
moments where you have some pretty bad. Back pain is
a tough thing. It's annoying, it's it's miserable, it's distracting,
it's ever present, and there's not a ton of great solutions.
Like there's certain things you could do to alleviate the pain.

(01:19:50):
A lot of the surgeries aren't really known for working
that well. Rumor has it it's what broke Luigi Mangioni,
even though it doesn't make a lot of sense, because
he had a successful operation, he said that fixed the
terrible back pain he was going through, which is why
he targeted a healthcare CEO and killed him in cold
blood in the street. But that's neither here nor there.

(01:20:11):
There are other ways to get around these back pains,
and sometimes the big medical industrial complex wants to steer
you down the wrong road. So I've got to bring
this story to you. An eighty two year old woman,
and hanng Zu, China, recently did something special to solve
her back pain. In fact, she swallowed eight live frogs

(01:20:36):
was her particular tactic. She took them in and swallowed
eight live frogs. Well, she worried seven would not be enough.
Seven is just not I mean, it's obviously not enough.

Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
One's a good look.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
It's ridiculous that you would even bring up that seven might.

Speaker 2 (01:20:49):
Be enough eight. I know that their medicine is much
different over there. You know, there's also some practices for
hundreds of years they've been around. Is this in the
book as far as the live frog stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:21:05):
Depends on what book you're looking at, but I'm sure
it's in some book. Instead of reaching for painkillers, she
turned to folklore. They said she had heard that eating
live frogs could relieve muscle and joint aches, without explaining why.
She asked her family to catch several small frogs for her,
and they didn't know what She's eighty two. She can't

(01:21:30):
get eight frogs. That's a tall oiter. That's that's tough
to do. They assumed it was for cooking. They said,
she wants the frogs for cooking, but it wasn't. She
swallowed three frogs one day and five the next one
was only a three frog day. It's tough to get
them down, okay, But.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
She wakes up. She's like I feel a little bit better.
Let's bring in the rest of the frogs.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
Well. Within days, her stomach began to ache so badly
she couldn't walk. The doctors were shocked to learn of
her diet and tests for field she had developed a
parasitic infection, including let's look this up because I ain't
never heard of this before, friend, sparganum s p A
r G A n um. This is what she developed

(01:22:13):
in her body because she swallowed these eight live frogs
to fix her back pain. And she had two weeks
of treatment before finally being discharged and now skipping home
like Willie Wonko, and he stopped pretending to be hurt.
Easy peasy out there, Just eat your frogs.

Speaker 2 (01:22:29):
Yeah, so, sparganum infection or sparganosis is a parasitic infection.
Like you said, it's as certain tapeworms, most commonly of
the spirometro genus.

Speaker 17 (01:22:43):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
Yeah. Consuming contaminated water is one way to become infected.
Undercook meat from intermediate hosts like frogs and snakes. So
just be sure to cook that frog and snake meat
at least well done.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
What is it a worm grows in your body that
was happening. That's what it's larva is. Wow, disgusting, man.
People will do anything. People will do anything. What happened?

Speaker 5 (01:23:11):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
They say?

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
It can lead to various symptoms, including in rare cases,
but more severe if the larva migrates into your eyes.

Speaker 1 (01:23:21):
Oh really, it seems like it would be hard for
an eyelash.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
It's a larva, that is.

Speaker 1 (01:23:28):
It's one of those things that kind of sticks with you.
Like of all the things I've ever heard in my
life when I was younger, I will never forget this.
This in my life. Many times I've said I don't
understand certain people, and this was the case where I
was like, I don't understand this. In the slightest, my
mom would take me to the dentist. I had braces.

(01:23:50):
You can't really tell them now, but I had braces
for years as a teenager. Hated them. Had that uh,
that retainer thing with a key in it, and I
turned that sucker and I wasn't a retainer. That was
a mouth widener.

Speaker 6 (01:24:01):
I had that guy yeah, oh yeah, bad, bad bad,
And then I did the same joke from everybody, O,
your mouth doesn't need to get any bigger.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
You got a big enough mouth, gotcha. Well, I remember
so vividly going to this dentist office that my mom
would bring me to in Wellington, Florida. And this is
why I don't understand this person. We would go in
and uh on the office wall, they had all the
typical stuff like people happy, smiling, beautiful smiles, and there

(01:24:30):
was one article. There was one news article on the
wall and it said caution over it. And I, even
as a teenager, went over to this news article that
was pinned up on the wall and said caution. I
assumed I didn't understand the caution part, but I just
assumed that maybe this was like something accolades in the

(01:24:51):
local paper for the doctor or something. I don't know,
but it wasn't. It was a story about an elderly
woman who spiral and went a little crazy and attempted
to cut out all her teeth with a pair of scissors.
And it was like she thought there were worms in

(01:25:12):
her mouth and she was and she was trying to
cut out her her teeth with a pair of scissors.
And the poor woman, you know, obviously she's going through
some stuff. They had to rush her to the hospital,
and I think she was okay, but this guy, this dentist,
thought it was a bright idea to put that up
on the wall, Like, guys, before you really you got
to take care of your teeth here and make sure
you go to the dentist. Don't try to do the

(01:25:33):
work on your own at home. And I was like, bro,
I'm already worried about my mouth and my gums hurting
and bleeding at the dentist's office.

Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
Shakes me a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:25:44):
Yeah, I didn't need that. I don't I don't need
to think about these things. I said, bad enough already.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
Okay, did the office like fix her teeth afterwards?

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
No, they didn't even treat nothing. They just put the
story on the wa Yeah, they just saw the article
in the newspaper and thought it was horrendous and then
put the article up on the wall.

Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
Yeah, keep an eye off for ginger vitis and scissors.

Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
I don't know. It seemed like such a weird move,
but they certainly did it.

Speaker 6 (01:26:15):
When I clicked the Google image on this uh sparganum sparganum, Yeah,
and there.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
Was from the lady eating the frog's last There's.

Speaker 6 (01:26:24):
Some unexpected teas here, but it's not the good kind.
There's there's not going to be the good kind when
you're researching these tapeworms and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
Why are there boobs on there to begin with?

Speaker 6 (01:26:36):
It's just article about this person. I guess had it
in the bubble area.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
Maybe did it try to come out the nipple or something.
That would be quite a sight. And imagine having right
now it just popping out of your body. They're like
actual tassels spinning your like frog tongues.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Well, all of a sudden you can expand your nipple
to grab a small fly and then it just dives
right back.

Speaker 1 (01:27:06):
This is disgusting, Okay, sensor mouth. The people are trying
to just listen to a show on a Monday. Here
they have to work on a ready politics on Columbus Day.
And now this is why.

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
We should have had the day off Jesus.

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
All right. They say you're not supposed to wish ill
of the dead, but in this case, I think I'll
make an exception. Keaton, No, No, Diane Keaton seemed very
nice to me. And although you know, after a whole day,
Courty was like, you know, I didn't see anybody say
anything negative about Diane Keaton. That's nice, And I go,
what What a ridiculous bar that we have set where
after somebody dies that you don't say something mean or

(01:27:44):
that you could be human to other individuals. Like this
weekend when when it came out that former President Biden's
family that right now he's going through cancer treatment. Uh,
he already did the skin cancer stuff, but he's got
a more serious cancer regimen that's in place right now.
Part no, and I don't remember exactly what type of

(01:28:05):
cancer it was, but he's going through the whole process
now to try to fight off this cancer, which you
should still be able to, no matter how much you
dislike the former president or anybody for that matter, should
be able to find a moment of humanity and be like, hey,
this sucks for his family, this suck for everybody, this sucks.

(01:28:26):
This is this is like a terrible thing that people
go through. We're all still human beings except for this
one guy. This one guy. I think we can remove
that from because if you don't know, the band lost profits.
They were big in what we say, early two thousands
of let's see.

Speaker 2 (01:28:43):
That one song.

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
Would I call him emo or is that not a
good characterization?

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
Yet? Not really emo, but certainly would be amongst them
at like a radio festival, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:28:57):
Yeah, they played a lot of radio station festivals back
in the early two thousands.

Speaker 2 (01:29:03):
Home was two thousand and four.

Speaker 6 (01:29:04):
I think none of the groups want to claim them
because of this guy. So it's like, do I call
him Emo? You'll hear an Emo could go down?

Speaker 12 (01:29:11):
No? No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (01:29:13):
I want them and we'll tell you why in a second.
But the two men were charged with murder on Monday
in the killing of Ian Watkins, the former frontman of
the rock band Lost Profits. He was serving a twenty
nine year sentence for child sex abuse defenses at a
prison in northern England. I did not know he was
in England. I thought he was for some reason in California.

(01:29:33):
I did not know why. But he's forty eight years old.
He was attacked on Saturday morning at Wakefield Prison and
they said he was pronounced dead after emergency responders arrived.
Two of his fellow inmates, Rashid Gadell twenty five and
Samuel Doddsworth forty three, were arrested on suspicion of murder
and we were taken into police custody. The two men

(01:29:54):
appeared in on Monday morning in police custody, double custody. Yeah,
they put a second orange shirt on you, and you
don't want to be in that position. It's very bad.
But he had pleaded guilty to thirteen charges. The front
man of this lost profits ban in twenty thirteen. And
I'll spare you some of it. But if you ever

(01:30:15):
look up Ian Watkins, I an last name, Watkins, wat
ki ns, if you look up his Wikipedia entry, good,
you will not be sorry that this human has been
erased from existence. You will not feel bad that his
days are now over. The stuff that he was doing

(01:30:35):
with fans eager and also disturbed female fans, some of
them who had infants, just subhuman, subhuman behavior can make
no one missed this guy afterwards, But the judge said
that he was a sexual predator who uses power to
induce young female fans to satisfy an apparently insatiable lust

(01:30:58):
and take part in the sexual abuse of their young children.
He plumbed new depths of depravity with his actions, and
now he is no longer with us. Probably did not
make heaven, probably did not make the cut there. So
there he goes.

Speaker 6 (01:31:14):
Even those like was doing bad stuff from prison what really.
In October twenty seventeen, Watkins was accused of grooming a
two year old girl's mother from prison through a series
of letters. In response to the report of spokesman for
the NSPCC, which is probably the Natural Society for the

(01:31:35):
Prevention of Cruelty to Children says this is an absolute shambles.
We're sick and it's utterly bewildering that he could carry
on grooming shows contempt for children. He abused raised here
his questions. By March twenty eighteen, he was back at
HM Prison Wakefield.

Speaker 1 (01:31:48):
That's that's evil man. That's like evil personified to me
when you hear somebody who does that kind of stuff,
Absolute evil personified. All right, let me get to the
other story I teased, and then we'll get deeper into
a bunch of things, one of them being this whole
prisoner exchanged slash hostage agreement that just took place today,
and some more of the things that happened around it.

(01:32:09):
But I said that there was a woman who booked
a flight on American Airlines Sea Lancebriny, you guys fly
American airlines at all, You guys have been.

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
On one of these have in the past. It's been years. Yeah,
I think I don't remember, just been using Delta these days.

Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
To me, this would be a surprise if I booked
an American Airlines flight and this happened. But there was
a woman who said she found herself on a surprising
flight experience when her American Airlines connection. She landed in Indiana,
all right, and in Indiana she had a connection to Chicago,
and they said, everybody line up, terminal Terminal sixteen. Terminal sixteen, lineup.

(01:32:46):
Everybody lines up. They say, Terminal sixteen will be boarding
in about thirty minutes. Everybody, so make sure you have
your tickets and your boarding passes ready to go, and
we will start boarding shortly. Have a great flight. And
they start boring for this connection from South Bend, Indiana
to Chicago, and people who got to the end of

(01:33:07):
the old Gangway there had a bit of a surprise
because there was no seven forty seven or seven fifty
seven or seven sixty seven waiting for them. On the
other side there was a bus and they were boarded
onto a bus. And I guess this is something that
American Airlines does now with the Landline Company, and that

(01:33:31):
you'll book a flight and the flight will be like, okay,
we'll fly you to here, and then you got a connection,
and your connection might be a bus ahead of time,
she said she didn't know. She said, the idea of
taking a two point five hour bus instead of a
perfectly good train or something else was kind of embarrassing.
When I exited the gate to get on the plane,

(01:33:51):
it was a bus. She noted that even the flight
crew was taking pictures of the unusual event on the tarmac.
We were driving besides planes when they were taxiing, and
she said, and then there was a two and a
half hour bus ride from South Bend International Airport to
Chicago O'Hare. So this was the first day that they
did this and would forward, Yeah, well they it's something

(01:34:12):
that they're doing. It's something that they're offering. Moving forward,
you might think you have a connection somewhere. You got
to look at that fine print. I don't know how
fine it is, but you might end up going out
and getting on a bus.

Speaker 2 (01:34:21):
For the draining airplane prices because.

Speaker 1 (01:34:25):
That's probably Yeah, I don't know if how the how
the process is booking this, or if it's very clear Okay,
this is going to be a bus that you're taking here,
but certainly it caught her by surprise. So weird.

Speaker 6 (01:34:38):
There was there's a post on the American Airlines subreddit
somebody else I guess who ran.

Speaker 1 (01:34:44):
Into this situation.

Speaker 6 (01:34:45):
What they said, and well, on the he said, I
was looking at some flight routes and surprised to see
this eluding the fact that one of the flights is
a bus ride. It actually says, you know, flight one
of two bus, flight two of two Boeing seven thirty seven.

Speaker 1 (01:34:59):
It's not light. That's misleading, I think. And they were
they pissed these people or were they like happy about
the experience.

Speaker 6 (01:35:07):
I think they were just like, I did not know
this was the thing that they did. Did you say
that was South Bend International? I didn't find that to
be an international airport. I flew in a South Bend
once time.

Speaker 1 (01:35:20):
It says was a two and a half hour bus
ride from South Bend International Airport to Chicago O'Hare. According
to this particular article about the experience. Let us know
tips of the news junky dot com Tips at the
newsjunkie dot com. All right, quick break. When we come back,
we'll get into some of the hamas ceasefire stuff. For
those you're not interested in that, don't worry. There is

(01:35:42):
a story about a grandpa and something that happened to
this grandpa and something he's struggling with right now that's
going to grab you all. Grab your right by the button,
hold on tight because you think you're having a tough day.
Wait to hear about what this grandpa is going through
right now, all right. I wait to hear about his
situation because that is coming up next on the news Junkie.

(01:36:21):
New update coming in probably you know, the next twenty
four hours ish on the website. Lots of features and stuff.
Will talk about that when it goes live. So beware,
in case a couple of things break tomorrow, they will
get fixed, just to give it some time and patience
in the meantime. Difficult question for you, but I want
you to take this seriously. If you guys had to

(01:36:44):
have a deformity, all right, all right, if you had
to have a deformity, what part of your body would
you choose if somehow you were able to get power
over that to have the deformity?

Speaker 15 (01:36:59):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:37:00):
I mean it's everybody knows it's tough. It's really we're
very difficult going through life different physically different than other people.
People will be brutally mean to you. And it's just
commonplace that they'll bully people for physical deformities and stuff.
So if you had, like if you to choose nose
being deformed or ears or nobody wants the genitals. Nobody

(01:37:25):
wants to deform genitals. That's not good. Man. You are
setting me up. I'm trying.

Speaker 6 (01:37:29):
You're told you said take this seriously, so I'm not
making jokes.

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
You can make jokes too if you'd like.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
But I mean we're picking something that everyone can see
if you're walking about the town.

Speaker 1 (01:37:41):
Yeah, I mean your genitals.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
I suppose you could.

Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
Try to be strategic and say, like, oh, if if
this happened, then nobody would be able to see this.
I ask all this for a reason that I'll bring
you to hard to play. There's not a good option
everyone toes. If your teeth are messed up, that's a
misery that you have to go through. That's very difficult.
If you got a problem with your nose or your

(01:38:06):
ears or your anything, it's all bad. This poor guy, Uh,
this man has been struggling. Okay, his name is Gerard McAleese,
and he has a bit of an issue with his nose.
You might say, for those of you watching on YouTube,
this is what Girard's nose looks like. It's a bit

(01:38:29):
punker snuzz. He says that he is sad because his
nose is so big that he cannot kiss his wife.
He cannot kiss his wife. He's married, he is, Yeah,
is that surprising, Yeah, he's married. Let me give you
another gonzo.

Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
Esque Sean looks like a cartoon.

Speaker 1 (01:38:51):
It's wild there, he is. This is uh, this is
Gerard and his nose. And he says he's been very upset.
You know, his wife could try a little harder.

Speaker 6 (01:38:59):
He could, as his wife up a little bit, just
turn our head sideways and kind of get up under
that thing.

Speaker 1 (01:39:05):
It's a dangler, he says. He also accidentally licks and
spits on his nose because it's dangling down so far.
He said he noticed it just getting a little bit
bigger about ten years ago. But he has something called
rhino faima rhino finema rhoem, a swelling of the nose
which leads to it growing in size and becoming more

(01:39:26):
and more bulbous over time. So this guy's nose was
just getting bigger and bigger.

Speaker 2 (01:39:33):
And not something they can surgically remove.

Speaker 1 (01:39:36):
H Well, I think that they can, but it takes
a while, he says. When I went to the doctor,
they said can you breathe? And he said yes, and
he said that's fine. Then as long as you can grow,
you're good to go.

Speaker 2 (01:39:48):
Are so many things he cannot do. Snarkling, well, be
able to do that?

Speaker 1 (01:39:52):
Not possible? Mask maybe not even just swimming like it
seems like that would be kind of tough considering the
Is that a buoyant I would tell you if you're listening,
it looks like a rather large potato is dangling down
from this guy's nose and it goes all the way
down to his bottom lip. It kind of rests his

(01:40:14):
nose are just resting on his bottom lip.

Speaker 2 (01:40:16):
What's the muppet that has the same nose? Yeah, as
hang on, let me that Gonzo was humanized.

Speaker 1 (01:40:23):
Oh shoot, hang on Gonzo. Uh, let's see if we
could see the comparison cases like this.

Speaker 2 (01:40:31):
It's always just so interesting. Weird word for me, it's
absolutely gonze nose. Those nose also looks like a pens
that they you know, it's always the same line. Started
noticing it growing or getting big ten years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:40:50):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (01:40:50):
And then at what point where you like it'll go
away to You are now an international news because of
what happened to your nose? Why was the doctor prior
to that?

Speaker 1 (01:41:03):
He said, at first it wasn't too bad, but then
he kept getting made fun of at the local pub
that he goes to, and he couldn't go to the
pub anymore. And then he said, but he would go
to dinner with his wife. People would stare at him
and make fun of him. So his nose was too
big to go out to dinner and his wife.

Speaker 6 (01:41:18):
Imagine dine being the waiters like, what could I get
for you?

Speaker 1 (01:41:23):
Here's the comparison visual for you on YouTube. I got
this all right. There's there's the guy Girard, and then
there's Gonzo. Yeah, Sozos is a bit bigger. Gonzo's is
a little more phallic, you know. His his kind of
a chowed nose. Yeah, yeah, I think that's fair, more
banana and his more potato.

Speaker 6 (01:41:43):
Colloquial terms for rhino faima include whiskey nose, gin blossom,
toro's nose, and potato nose.

Speaker 1 (01:41:52):
Wow that could happen from whisky boy.

Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
I mean he didn't mention it. He realized there was
a problem when his bar friends started making fun of him.

Speaker 1 (01:42:01):
They did, Yeah, this feels rude, but that's what people do.
What I'm saying, it's difficult out there. You got a
problem with you, people go they just they go ham
on you. It's unbelievable. It says here.

Speaker 6 (01:42:13):
Rhino feima can cause physiological distress due to its effect
on one's personal appearance clearly right, as well as social
perception of a link with alcoholism, which to me sounds
like there's not an actual link except people. I don't
know why why they would think drinking a lot gives
you a big nose.

Speaker 2 (01:42:34):
I don't think he has a coke problem.

Speaker 1 (01:42:35):
Will say that, you know, it's screwy. Somebody took this
picture of him, you know, like why, sir, just stand there.
We've got to document. I'll put this up. Hang on,
let me let me get a great shot of this
for see it now, because everybody needs to see what's
going on with this gentleman. And I want you to
just think about when you see somebody like this out

(01:42:58):
there in public, does it take a lot of work
just to be sweet to them. Does it take a
lot of work to be nice to people who are
a little bit different out there in public? I don't
think so. But you know, what are you talking about, Sean?

Speaker 2 (01:43:09):
You're running into Roy's talking to he seems upset and
alone at the bar. What are you saying doing?

Speaker 1 (01:43:16):
I'm going to say, hey, how are you, sir? And
any good jokes lately? And I'm gonna say after I
say hey are you sir, I'm gonna go, okay, you
have a great day. And then I'm going to go
talk to to Courtney and I'm gonna be like that
guy's nose was crazy, immediately, gotta say something about it.

Speaker 6 (01:43:35):
Although rhino feima has been commonly presumed to be linked
to alcoholism, a direct casual relationship between the condition and
excessive alcohol consumption has not been substantiated. Alcohol may cause
increased flushing in those effected, which you know, if you've
got to nose that big and it's your alcohol is
making you flush, it's just making that that sucker d.

Speaker 1 (01:43:54):
Yeah, and then it's Rudolph style just glowing out there
on the end, it's somebody says, why is he so red?
Because he's thinking people are looking at him. He's starting
to judge himself a little bit more. It's tough times,
but there he is. Check it out. It's on the
see It Now section of thenewsjunkie dot com. This guy's
really going through it over there. Okay, let's see the

(01:44:15):
Columbus day not going well. Over in Spain there is
a painting. And in Spain there is a painting of
Columbus that just got vandalized. I hope this has one
of those protective shields over it. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
they got it a lot of times.

Speaker 8 (01:44:33):
Spell out.

Speaker 1 (01:44:35):
I think they were just trying to wing the paint
up there. They're not Columbus fans.

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
I got some potent paint.

Speaker 1 (01:44:45):
How do don't we know at this point at the
museums that there's a danger of this happening. Aren't we
on high alert for the paint tossers at the museums
after some of the recent events we've seen. How do
they still get in and they fling up all this
stuff here? And I hope, I don't know. I have
no idea but that they pulled it. It's a by

(01:45:06):
the way, it's a very very very big painting. This
painting of Columbus is like maybe ten feet tall by
twenty feet thirty feet long. It's absolutely massive. They got them.
They don't like them, they don't like them, slept on it. Yeah, yeah,

(01:45:27):
he was trying to pull the woman down and get
them away from this painting that they damage and unbelievable,
just an absolute catastrophe here. Hopefully the painting survived for
those who are still fans. A couple of Chroistopher Columbus
fans out there still, I see you, I see it.
This was in Madrid's Naval Museum in Spain that they
did this, always attacking the artwork. You know, put a

(01:45:50):
lot of work. Somebody put in a lot of work
to paint. That folks a lot of work. I when
I look at the output from some of these folks,
like in is it Tampa or Saint Pete where there's
the Salvador Dolly Museum. It's a museum with just Salvador
Dolly stuff, and it is massive. That man worked and

(01:46:13):
worked and worked, and then he was like, I'm bored
of painting. I'm gonna make tables and I'm gonna make furniture,
and I'm gonna make this. I'm gonna invent stuff, but
now I'm gonna do this, and did so much stuff
it fills a massive three story museum, just all on
his own. And then there's probably probably somebody wants to
do that to his paintings too. Somebody probably wants to
do it to his paintings, but it looks like destroying it.

Speaker 2 (01:46:36):
Paint that's spilling.

Speaker 1 (01:46:38):
Some of his say, I didn't realize Dolly did some
of those ones that are so big too. I like
when you see you go to a museum and you
see like a painting that's bigger than you.

Speaker 6 (01:46:48):
Take massively weird to think that, Like the guy had
to get on a ladder probably to do a lot
of this work.

Speaker 1 (01:46:56):
Yeah, I mean, I think I've told this story before,
but I went to the Museum of Modern Art in
San Francisco years ago, and yeah, and that SF MoMA.
It wasn't I got the name wrong. In my head.
I'm thinking Chuck Close in my head. It's not Chuck Close,
the famous artist Chuck who paints with his mouth because

(01:47:17):
he became paralyzed in his older life and he paints
only self portraits and he's probably dead now. But we
went to see his whole gallery at the SF Moment
in San Francisco. And this guy would paint these things
with his mouth and they were twelve feet fourteen feet tall,

(01:47:38):
and they were made up of like little pictures of him,
and then all the little pictures of him made one
big picture of his face.

Speaker 2 (01:47:44):
There's a lot of mouth artists.

Speaker 1 (01:47:46):
This guy is famous for just he just paints his
own face. He just paints himself, and he does it
with his mouth. Chuck something artist mouths painting, Sarah Biffin, No,
Mariam pair. Chuck Close. That's it. Chuck Close. Yeah, Chuck

(01:48:10):
Close is the guy. If you look him up, you
might be familiar. No, look up, Chuck Close. You'll see
it's always like him smoking a cigarette or something and
cigarette he would. It was before a lot of this
stuff was done before he ended up getting disabled or
ended up being disabled. And then you'll see some of
them that look like a bunch of dots, but the

(01:48:31):
dots are actually, when you get very close to them,
little pictures. And then the little pictures make up the
big picture. And uh, it's crazy, crazy levels of talent.
And I'm not sure if anybody's ever hit him with
the paint, but everybody could be a target at any
point in time. Be safe out there, folks, and watch
your noses. We'll hear from you when we come back
on the show, and we'll get to jury duty. Let's

(01:48:51):
see what's happening in a bunch of courtrooms. Plus, the
first thing we got to hit on is the most unhinged,
insane mara ever that is planned. Well, you missed it
this round, but it's coming up again next year. They
just finished this what is this unhinged run entail? Wait
to hear the details coming up next in the news

(01:49:13):
junk Kie. Learn more about this show over at thenewsjunkie

(01:49:34):
dot com. You guys want to go for a run?
You guys want to go.

Speaker 17 (01:49:37):
For a run?

Speaker 1 (01:49:37):
What do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:49:38):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:49:38):
Can we do this? No, it's just a flat out
now like you would never win sprinter doing like an
I gotta tell you it's a big ask that we
have going on here. Somebody just did this. This was
a marathon that people just ran. It's a bad idea.
I'm going to tell you that ahead of time before
we get into jury due this is just a bad idea.

(01:49:59):
But there was an ultra runner event where they did
a fifty k marathon. For those of you keeping track,
that is thirty one.

Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
Miles over the course of six months.

Speaker 1 (01:50:12):
No, no, you can't do that over six months. No
you have. You have to finish the thirty one miles
within eleven hours. That's all you get. You have eleven hours.
Now here's the twist. This is called and they just
wrapped this up. It's called the International Taco Bell fifty
k Ultra Marathon.

Speaker 6 (01:50:32):
The race is a weird thing for Taco Bell to
put their stamp on.

Speaker 1 (01:50:38):
Oh, I should be clear about this. They are not
officially backing this event in any way. They are not. No.
The race is a loop through Denver, Colorado, and you
have to stop at all ten taco bells on the loop.
The only thing you can eat is taco bell. You
have to eat it every taco bell that you run

(01:50:59):
to say man, you have to order at least one
Chiloupa Supreme or crunch Wrap Supreme by the fourth stop,
one Burrito Supreme, one Nacho's Bell Gronde by the eid stop.
You have to finish this within eleven hours, stopping at
all of these ten taco bells and eating a food item.
You can use the bathroom, but is absolutely forbidden, absolutely

(01:51:24):
forbidden to use any pepto bismo. You are not allowed to.
That is cheating. You have to run thirty one miles
all the while eating taco bell and good luck and
when you don't win anything, I don't think there was people.
So race rules.

Speaker 6 (01:51:42):
One be president all ten taco bell stops along the course.
Zero tolerance for course cutting, to eat a menu item
from at least nine of the ten taco bell stops.
Then they talk about the Chiloupa supreme thing by the
fourth stop, the burrito Supreme or notch about grinded by
the eighth stop, finished in eleven hours.

Speaker 1 (01:51:56):
Drinks do not count as food. And then then blah
blah blah blah blah blah, because that Baja blast is
not going to be your shortcut. You gotta eat something right.

Speaker 6 (01:52:04):
If you tend to participate RSVP, your statement of intent.
Once you're RSVP, you were in. This is like the
Goblet of Fire. No pepto milanta, no pepsid. Additional rules
may be changed, added, amended, And then just thirteen it
says congratulations, question mark, and.

Speaker 1 (01:52:21):
You forget They said six hundred people participated there's not
even a prize that I can tell you're weird.

Speaker 6 (01:52:30):
There's extra little like accolades that you can add to this,
sort of like you know, when you graduate college, you
could graduate with honors. You could do the Magnetum Louder
Summa cum Louder. Right, there's there's extra things. What can
you do here you can add to your accomplishment. One
of them is the Diablo Challenge, where you lather all

(01:52:53):
items with Diablo sauce and do a Diablo shooter at the.

Speaker 2 (01:52:56):
End something yep.

Speaker 6 (01:52:59):
And then last but not least, the Baja Blast Challenge,
where you drink an aggregate of two leaders of Baja
Blast during the run without vomiting.

Speaker 1 (01:53:08):
This is just bad. This is just a horrific idea.

Speaker 2 (01:53:12):
And what if you want to try freak it as
like I'm in Babe fifty o K.

Speaker 1 (01:53:18):
The International Taco Bell fifty K Ultra Marathon get ready
for next year. Yeah, now's the time to get that
training in if you can.

Speaker 6 (01:53:24):
This event is not sponsored by or endorsed by Taco
Bell Corp. So be cool, it says at the very
bottom of the website, which, by the way, good get
on them. The website is Taco Bell fifty k dot com.
All right, yeah, so it's not the company is not affiliated,
but I don't think they seem to have a problem
with it.

Speaker 1 (01:53:44):
It's not making them look too bad just yet. But
we'll see how it goes over.

Speaker 6 (01:53:48):
But is it or isn't it, Like if the whole
point of it is that, like we're choosing this restaurant
to punish ourselves with over the entirety of this fifty
k run as as as Taco Bell, are you not
taking a little bit of a fence to that.

Speaker 1 (01:54:07):
I don't know, because there's another one too. Maybe you
guys will have heard of this. There's some challenge that
people do where you're supposed to go to like five
fast food places in a row, and you have to
eat like three items off the menu and if you puke,
you lose, and and all those things. Like there were
some of the fast food places that were welcoming in

(01:54:29):
a little bit because they want to sell stuff, right,
But it's still like it's still negative connotation.

Speaker 6 (01:54:35):
Yeah, you know, I guess it's not terrible terrible. I
just think that like maybe it's just Taco Bell gets
where they where they sit in the ether of fast
food and you know whether or not people choose to
eat them, but it's it seems like you might be
a little mad. Like when south Park did the episode
where Randy Marsh takes the biggest crap in the world.

(01:55:00):
I know this is this is a weird reference to make,
speaking of there's a weird, weird reference to make, but
there's an episode of South Park where Randy Marks takes
the world record biggest crap ever and they measure it
in Kirk's which is it's a Katie Kirk, which is hilarious.
But also he said, like the secret to his accomplishments.

(01:55:23):
In the bathroom there were eating a lot of PF
Chang's and I was like, PF Changs can't like this.

Speaker 1 (01:55:30):
There's no and one way you're you're a consumer of
their product, which is nice, but it's just bad in another.
All right, we go, let's do jury duty or.

Speaker 18 (01:55:40):
It is now in session to put your phone down
and paid attention before we call the bailiff over to
win your ass.

Speaker 1 (01:55:45):
You're knowing jury duty with the news Junkie. Jury Duty
brought to you by the one the only mode to
Wit excuse me of the Wit Law Firm. Injured on
the go, just call MO eight hundred, Call eight hundred,
Call MO eight hundred, call MO, or just CALLMO dot
com after an accident. You have lots of attorneys out
there trying to get your attention, but the one you
need to go to is the one you hear right

(01:56:06):
here on the show. That's Mode Wit eight hundred, Calmo
or just CALLMO dot com. All right, what should happen here?
A couple of things and then mailbox money. One In Lakeworth,
a father is demanding answers over the way his nine
year old son, Nathaniel Dopico or Dopico, was treated following
an investigations into a threatening note left in another student's journal.

(01:56:31):
So this young girl got a note in her journal
and it was like a very very angry, threatening note,
and they brought in this nine year old and the
nine year old was like, I didn't do it, and
they were like, you better tell us the truth, your
little son of a bitch, and the nine year old goes, ah, fine,
I did it. I did it. And they then named
the kid at school and all the other kids were

(01:56:53):
like bullying this kid for being the little terrorist getting
caught sending this message turns out the Prince of God,
we got cameras. You better just admit to it. We
got the cameras, admit to it. And the kid goes,
I did it. I did it, And then all of
a sudden, some other kid at the school came forward
and said it was actually me, and they checked and
it was they got the wrong kid. They got the

(01:57:15):
wrong kid, even though they blamed it on this other
kid before. I don't know. I think they might have
been a bit of adults about this. I think they
might have been fibbing about having the information that they had,
like the camera footage. And at first I was like, well,
if he did it, he should be punished, But if
he didn't do it, he got labeled as a little crazy,

(01:57:36):
threatening kid. That would absolutely suck. So the father's going
after the school and AT and T data breach settlement
claim is nearing. You got to get your mailbox money.
This was spotted in March of twenty twenty four. You
can get your piece of one hundred and seventy seven
million dollars because AT and T had an issue where
they compromise addresses, social security numbers and pass codes of

(01:57:58):
users going back to two thousand than in nineteen. The
call logs and text messages of all nearly every AT
and T customer that took place between May first and
October thirty first of twenty twenty two are probably in
on this, so you could be what are the people affected?
Hang on real quick as we wrap this up, I
want to tell you the website AT and T Data

(01:58:23):
Breach Settlement mashable how to link to this. So I
want to give this to you so you can go
to the website if you need to. All right, go
to the settlement website, which is Telecomdata Settlement dot com.
You don't have much time.

Speaker 2 (01:58:37):
Left now and check your spam folders. That's where I
found my email from them. Oh really, And it wasn't
just a claim number. It was like several steps and
links and codes to verify who you were. Because I
think how much money is behind this there?

Speaker 1 (01:58:52):
Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot of cast.

Speaker 2 (01:58:54):
You have to be a part of it.

Speaker 1 (01:58:55):
If you didn't get your info, you can have them
resend it. But go to Telecom Data Settlement if you
have recently been an AT and T customer, because you'll
get about anywhere from forty bucks to thousands of dollars
in that mailbox money. All right, quick break. When we
come back, we'll talk about what happened in South Carolina
over the weekend. There was an explosion in Tennessee we

(01:59:16):
got to talk about and maybe the most obnoxious update
in the world of a major YouTuber. I can't believe
I'm saying this, but this time it's gone too far.
What happened? We'll tell you. That's coming up next on
the news. Chunk Kie.

Speaker 2 (01:59:48):
Had a movie, They're In the Problem.

Speaker 1 (01:59:52):
Tiler, Yeah, they're in the Problem. I think it's a
musical too. It's like a like a gay musical. Well,
and this one in particular, it was like about two
prisoners who fall in love with each other. One was
in jail for like having sex with a sixteen year

(02:00:12):
old and some story that's like famous in gay stage circles.
I guess it's not on my radar obviously, And then
they made this movie about it, and j Lo got
it made. She said. Ben Affleck was the person who,
like she credited with getting this movie made. They spent
thirty five million dollars on it and made eight hundred

(02:00:33):
thousand dollars this weekend. That ain't good. Kiss of the
Spider Woman. Kiss of the Spider Woman. How many people
went in thinking they were going to get something else
out of that Kiss Spider Woman? But that sounds great.
I love the Spider Man movies. Those are Those are fantastic.
And then you see this. It's not exactly Diego. Luna

(02:00:55):
is in it too. I don't know that is. He
was from and or Star Wars show. Okay, yeah, I
mean I hope he still gets gigs after this one.

Speaker 2 (02:01:05):
It was another Greatest Hits tour from.

Speaker 1 (02:01:07):
Jal that didn't go well last time? Did it? As
far as I recall, that was a problematic seats wise,
just selling some tickets for her. Let's talk about this
very quickly. I teased this before the break. I hate
to even bring these guys up, but it is just unbelievable.
There is a YouTube channel that was very popular for

(02:01:29):
a time. If you don't know about this YouTube channel,
it's obvious that that can be the case for many
of you at a certain age, but for a lot
of younger people in particular, they knew about the try
Guys again, all right, The Try Guys came out of
BuzzFeed and they blew up and they were like a
big deal. And then they had a controversy because one

(02:01:54):
of the main guys from their YouTube channel got caught
cheating on his wife. And then he did the podcast
that you might remember, and it was so unbelievably cringe.
He did the podcast with his wife to talk about
him cheating on her, and the guy had more vocal
fry than any other man in the history of the

(02:02:18):
vocal fry. It was just so unbelievably cringe. The whole
thing like.

Speaker 6 (02:02:23):
Purpose vocal fry, like Britney Spears or Paris Hilton Stone.

Speaker 1 (02:02:26):
Hang on, hang on, let me see if I can
bring this up just so you can get out.

Speaker 6 (02:02:29):
I know, if we have some questions than we would
win the roximation with Ario Foemer.

Speaker 1 (02:02:34):
I'll just give you a small taste to Rooney of this.
Here's ned Fulmer.

Speaker 18 (02:02:39):
Hi, I'm ned Fulmer. Three years ago I cheated on
my wife with my producer. It became a massive public scandal,
caused a lot of pain.

Speaker 1 (02:02:53):
A lot of people.

Speaker 18 (02:02:56):
I know that I represented myself as a kind of wife.
Guy talked about his relationship and put that out there
for public consumption, and you, as a viewer, I know
that you I broke your trust.

Speaker 1 (02:03:15):
Okay, you get the idea. He goes on like that
for an hour and eight minutes. An hour and eight minutes.
So he posted that thata gout one million views. His
follow up video is not exactly bangers from what I
can see. He's done some videos here that have fallen
a bit short of that one million line went from
one point one million the conversation with his wife to

(02:03:36):
forty five thousand in the next podcast, to sixteen thousand
to six point seven thousand as of the latest episode
that the Try Guy Guy has put out there. So
you got to start figuring out what you can do
and figure it out. He did. He decided, let's go
for it. He showed up this weekend at ae W Wrestling.

(02:03:57):
He's the latest bona fide wrestler always okay w and
they call him nasty ned when he's in the ring.
She was wife guy. Yeah speeches, so cringe. Oh my god,

(02:04:18):
I'll give you one worse. Look at this is his
moves in the ring. Well, we can describe it for
everybody else, but.

Speaker 12 (02:04:27):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:04:29):
You only saw a second.

Speaker 1 (02:04:30):
You only saw a second.

Speaker 2 (02:04:32):
Pecake Gas.

Speaker 1 (02:04:33):
Here goes this YouTuber the try guy who's just it
feels like he has a fetish for embarrassing himself in public.
And we're continuing on with that. But now that he's
got a dance, yes, like, oh he does like finger
guns moving backwards and then you know, moving forwards.

Speaker 2 (02:04:54):
And was able to capture Mitt's and.

Speaker 1 (02:04:58):
Yes, yeah he did find somebody to cheat on his
wife with. And this is what they're looking for. I've
never seen a e W, but I assumed it was
a fairly big competitor to the w WE. This footage
doesn't support that nasty ned going yeah like a like
a old man hula hooping for the first.

Speaker 2 (02:05:21):
Along that is like arm bar him to the ground. Please.

Speaker 6 (02:05:27):
That's what Sean looked like this morning, right before the
show started. You couldn't see him.

Speaker 1 (02:05:32):
This was like a level of desperation in your career.
Here we go, we just doing one of the ease yeah,
little finger guns, backing yourself into the ropes and then
pretend to put your guns away. And then there's something
about if you try to like trk your ass but
you don't have an ass. It's one of the more

(02:05:53):
embarrassing things. It is e fresh rock, says Sean. At
the roast when it's over and he hits the last joke.

Speaker 2 (02:06:02):
All right, it's a little bit better than that, But
you do have the same outfit for the roast, which
is so weird.

Speaker 1 (02:06:10):
I would be flattered by you saying that. But it's
just so bad. It's just so unbelievably bad. Cringe overload,
But enjoy. If you're a wrestling fan, he's now in
your world, just like one of the one of the
Paul brothers is in wrestling, right, is it Logan or
I think it might be Logan? But you know, I

(02:06:31):
never know. He was boxing.

Speaker 2 (02:06:33):
Yeah, I think was boxing.

Speaker 1 (02:06:36):
I can't keep up. They both they both have been
professional boxers. They both have done professional boxing bounds. But
I thought it was Logan who was doing the ww stuff.
And by the way, crap on him all you want.
He was really impressive. Like the wrestling I saw of
him was him jumping from one rope to the other
side of the ring and putting his body on the
line like wrestlers. This guy, nasty ned ain't gonna cut it,

(02:07:02):
he ain't gonna make it happen. All right, it's a
really great wrestling name. No it's not. No, No, no, no,
not at all. Let's see what else.

Speaker 14 (02:07:12):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:07:12):
I wanted to get into this because people were saying
that ABC News and George Stephanopolis should apologize. Okay, because
ABC cut off the vice president jd Vance and went
to commercial during an interview this week, Let's let's tune in.
Let's see what this sounded like. They said that jd
Vance should get an apology for this is happened the

(02:07:36):
middle of it. And there's a story that goes along
with this. But here's what happened that they said ABC
News should apologize.

Speaker 19 (02:07:41):
I don't know what tape you're referring to. George bald
Media reports that Tom Homan accepted a bribe. There's no
evidence of that. And here's George, why fewer and fewer
people watch your program and why you're losing credibility because
you're doing, for now five minutes with the Vice President
of the United States about this story regarding Tom home
and a story that I've read about, but I don't

(02:08:02):
even know the video that you're talking about. Meanwhile, low
income women can't get food because the Democrats and Chuck
Schumer have shut down the government.

Speaker 1 (02:08:10):
Right now, we're trying.

Speaker 19 (02:08:11):
To figure out how to pay our troops because Chuck
Schumer has shut down the government. You were focused on
a bogus story you're insinuating.

Speaker 1 (02:08:18):
So far, he hasn't really cut him off, but I
guess that happens. I guess ABC News and George STEPANOFOLS
cut off JD.

Speaker 19 (02:08:24):
Vanser criminal wrongdoing against a guy who has done nothing wrong.
Instead of focusing on the fact that our country is
struggling because our government's shut down, Let's talk about the
real issues, George. I think the er people would benefit
much more from that, Dan from you going down some
weird left wing rabbit hole where the facts clearly show
that Tom Holman didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing.

Speaker 20 (02:08:46):
It's not a weird left wing rabbit hole. I didn't
insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Holman accepted fifty
thousand dollars, as was heard on an audio tape recorded
by the FBI in September twenty twenty four, and you
did not answer the question.

Speaker 1 (02:08:58):
Thank you for your time this morning. Still, and I
said that I dozed up next we'll be right back. Well,
like you know, you're going to run into a time crunch.
He let him. He let him have a whole response
before that.

Speaker 2 (02:09:11):
Wait, George, like it.

Speaker 1 (02:09:14):
Would it would have been better if they went to
him and just like cut him off in the middle
of everything. I don't think it was that bad program,
I'll tell you. Do you guys know what he's talking about.
I want to know more about this. But the guy,
look up Tom Homan. He I think he's the ice director.
Orders are, borders are okay, he's the borders are replacing

(02:09:35):
Kambala Harris at the border is our position, I guess.
And Tom Homan is this dude you've probably seen on
TV a lot. He's all about like deporting people and whatnot.
But there were allegations, and I don't know how much
truth there is the allegations, but they're hilarious. The allegations
are that Tom Homan was set up on this meeting
and he went to this meeting. You guys are both

(02:09:57):
familiar with Kava, the fast casual restaurants, right. Apparently he
goes to a Kava restaurant and when he gets there,
some mysterious man hands him a Kava bag with fifty
thousand dollars cash in it. And he took the Kava
bag and that's part of like this whole thing where

(02:10:17):
they were saying he was bribed. Now I don't know
what the truth is what actually happened, but I can
tell you that if that part's true, Like, there's no
circumstance where I would walk into a kava and they
would hand me a bag with fifty thousand dollars, I'd
be like, see you later.

Speaker 2 (02:10:33):
Like this doesn't seem fishy at all, Tacos.

Speaker 1 (02:10:37):
This is how every above board deal works.

Speaker 2 (02:10:42):
Yeah, so I'm trying to find the audio itself, but
I'm back in twenty twenty four that he was approached
by FBI agents posing as businessmen.

Speaker 1 (02:10:51):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (02:10:52):
And that's when they offered a dam fifty thousand dollars
in cash in exchange for favorable government contracts.

Speaker 1 (02:10:59):
Yeah, so he wasn't working for the government at that time.
I don't think. I don't know, like I don't know
if this is a bad guy thing or not, but
I know it looks fishy to get fifty thousand dollars
in a CoMFA bag, though, Like just the detail of
that part is an interesting one.

Speaker 6 (02:11:16):
So just having fifty thousand dollars, you know, there are a.

Speaker 1 (02:11:19):
Question I have I got questions. I'm wondering what happened,
what led to all of this. A bdm x con
says they need to release what they have on him.
That'd probably be a smart idea, especially if nothing bad
happened here.

Speaker 2 (02:11:32):
Yeah. Back in September of twenty twenty five, and this
was the Democrats Dash Judiciary, dot House, dot gov press
release saying that the FBI director demanded the release of
the explosive recordings that reportedly had shown the borders are
accepting this money. So yeah, government's posting about it at least,

(02:11:52):
just not the recordings.

Speaker 1 (02:11:53):
Well, because it just came out not that long ago
that this happened, and the FBI, I guess under Biden
was in fact stigating him and like trying to sting
him up in this thing. But I haven't been able
to sort through exactly what's real and fake, and I
don't even know. I don't know if that's why you
should release more information. I mean, that's why I said
about all these Ice videos. There needs to be more

(02:12:14):
of a coordinated effort to say, this is going viral.
Here's a response, this is going viral, here's a response.
There's so many people mad about stuff that's fake. I mean,
some of it's real, but there's so many people that
are just absolutely asked mad about stuff that's fake. I
had somebody in Chat last week say, hey, there was
this building and they took the Chicago citizens outside and
they made their kids sit naked in the middle of

(02:12:36):
the night and the cold, and they zip tied them,
and you know, YadA, YadA, YadA happen. It was like,
that is not at all what happened in this case.
There could be different existences, or there should could be
different circumstances where Ice has gone way too far. I've
seen some videos where I wasn't comfortable with. I know
that there could be instances of this, but like the
one that people take and spin out they get all

(02:12:58):
mad about, the story is not that at all. The
story was that there were different gang members from trend
to Aragua who had infiltrated this building and they actually
only rated the units that nobody was supposed to be
in that they were squatting on and pushed the people
outside and there were no naked kids and there was
no kids that were zip tide, And so I don't

(02:13:20):
know any other way than to get ahead of these
things with as much evidence as you can say, like,
here's the thing that's going viral right now, we understand
that people reacting to this. Here's our response. That just
doesn't seem to be happening, and I think it would
be smart for it to be happening. Let's see here
we can get the Stephanopolis thing. Though, it's like.

Speaker 6 (02:13:42):
It sounded cut off because he ended the interview probably abruptly,
and whoever was in charge of cutting the audio feed
there didn't hit that button in time, and so it
sounded like you just like interrupted the guy and went
to commercial. But for Stephanopolis, it was like, Okay, you
want to talk about thing. I want to talk about
my thing. We're not gonna come together on that, so

(02:14:04):
we're done.

Speaker 1 (02:14:04):
Yeah, everybody wanted to have like their final word, but
guess what that doesn't You can't do that. Somebody has
to say the final thing. At least he let him
go on for a couple of minutes, it sounded like,
before that and get everything out of his system, and
then he just said, here's my response. We're going to
commercial break. I've heard a lot worse Okay, I've heard
a lot more biased stuff out there. Than that, it

(02:14:26):
didn't seem quite as bad. I don't think you should apologize.
I didn't think it was that bad, but we'll see
what you think. Let us know. Send a dispatch over
at thenewsjunkie dot com. All right, we'll get to some
folks who are responding to various things we talked about today,
the South Carolina bar thing, who were some of these
folks released by hamas their stories, and a whole bunch more.

(02:14:47):
We got a lot to do and only a little
bit of time, so we'll dive a bit deeper. That's
coming up next on the news junk Key Details for

(02:15:10):
the event over at the news junkie dot com slash
roast be a chicken.

Speaker 2 (02:15:14):
We don't have too much work this weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:15:17):
Type in seventeen days left. Seventeen days left until the
roast event. Learn more at the news junkie dot com
slash roast. All right, I got some emails. I wanted
to get to those. Actually, what's working? A couple of
emails real quick before I get to this story. Steve
emails tips at the news junki dot com. Hey, Sean,

(02:15:37):
that taco bell challenge for the record, it was the
Taco Bell fifty K. I believe fifty k not affiliated
with Taco Bell.

Speaker 2 (02:15:45):
In eleven hours, right.

Speaker 1 (02:15:48):
Eleven hours fifty k. You had to run a fifty
k and then you have to go to nine out
of ten Taco.

Speaker 6 (02:15:55):
Bells I believe in no pepto or to go to
every one, but you have to eat at nine of them.

Speaker 1 (02:16:01):
Yeah, yeah, oh god, I mean it just seems like
a bad idea. You gotta eat like the what's the
big fold up thing? It's like that alone is but no, no, no, no, no,
no no no, it's like a Casadia looking thing. It's
all kind of folded together that they mentioned that supreme. No,
I'll figure it out at some point in time. No,
that's okay. The Taco Bell item crunch wrap supreme that alone, No,

(02:16:30):
but everything could be supreme. It just means that it
has uh cream and tomatoes. Yeah. Yeah, it's just like
a little upgrade thing. But it's the crunch wrap that's
the big ass thing you unfurl. That thing is like
a parachute's massive. Hey Sean, that Taco Bell challenge in
the fast Food Challenge you mentioned reminded me of an
old show that was on the G four network. I
remember that, yeah, about twenty years ago called Hurl, where

(02:16:53):
they would have contestants eat stuff like hot dogs or
milkshakes or some other gross foods and then have them
ride carnival rides. It'd spin you around and if you
didn't hurl, you won at the end of the day.
It was different levels and stuff, eliminations and stuff like that.
Reminded me of that. All right, thanks love the show,
says Steve. That sounds like Fatty's at the Fair to me.

Speaker 6 (02:17:14):
Their website though, for this Taco Bell fifty k is
pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (02:17:18):
Like Tacobo fifty k dot com.

Speaker 6 (02:17:22):
It says like entrance must keep all receipts and rappers
for confirmation of stupidity at the end of the run.

Speaker 1 (02:17:29):
So we just missed this right, Yeah, this this was
like a week ago or something. Yeah, I'm looking at
it now. It's almost taco time and they have a
countdown for the next one, the eighth edition of the
Taco Bell fifty k Ultra Marathon. Become a survivor and
you'll be revered and heckled for life. And as they said,
sixty six hundred people participated this. They're out of their

(02:17:51):
damn minds.

Speaker 6 (02:17:52):
So is the International Tacobo fifty k both a higher
d NF rate did not finish. Then the famed Leadville
one hundred trail race.

Speaker 1 (02:18:00):
Don't know what that is, but like a serious one,
I'm imagine maybe Mike Emails took to the news Junkie
dot com hearing the story about that guy's nose. Go
take a look at that on see it now in
the news Junkie dot com. Noso. It reminds me of
Steve Martin's movie Rock Sam. Oh true, Yeah, he couldn't
drink wine out of a wineglass, he had to use
a straw. A lot of good nose jokes in that flick,

(02:18:23):
and many people trying to get about Diane Keaton, which,
as I was saying, was pretty much universally loved it seemed.
I did see one article that Corny said. She was like, oh,
these people wrote something negative and mean because I guess
she had become friendly with Woody Allen or something. It's like,
why are you just looking to be mean after somebody dies?
Diane Keaton was a great actress. She seemed like a

(02:18:44):
nice person.

Speaker 2 (02:18:45):
Isn't there her breakout roll?

Speaker 18 (02:18:46):
Anyhow?

Speaker 1 (02:18:48):
Maybe I'm sure she's but she wasn't a lot of
stuff that I saw, though. I was kind of surprised
going through the list. I was like, oh, I've seen
a lot of these movies. She was in many, many, many,
many movies I've seen. All right, let's go over this
real quick here. Because I mentioned this earlier, we might
as well pay this off. Here is Trump speaking in
Israel about the folks celebrating because the hostages were released

(02:19:11):
after seven hundred and thirty eight days.

Speaker 17 (02:19:13):
Anything like what's going on today all over the world.

Speaker 1 (02:19:16):
Oh, I have to pump this up a little bit.
Hang out, just all right, hang on, let me go
back because the audio is low on this. Now I've
got us. Now we're dice and loud.

Speaker 17 (02:19:24):
I have never seen anything like what's going on today
all over the world. People are dancing in the streets,
not just in Isna, They're dancing in the streets of
countries that would have never danced in the street. About
what's happening today.

Speaker 1 (02:19:40):
They're dancing in those streets. They're dancing in the streets,
and they were celebrating both in Israel and Gaza as
these hostages were released. On the Israeli side, you know,
the Israeli hostages released, and then on the Gaza side
a bunch of prisoners and other folks who are being
held by the Israeli military.

Speaker 6 (02:19:59):
Who would not real be celebrating this, like the Hamas
themselves or no, they.

Speaker 1 (02:20:04):
Were part of the whole negotiations.

Speaker 9 (02:20:07):
So.

Speaker 1 (02:20:09):
They, I mean they seem to at least be interested
in this. I know that Iran isn't very thrilled because
Iran wants these people to fight forever and they fund
all these groups, including Hamas, and they haven't been celebrating
this or taking part in it. But there were a
bunch of people who have been held in in captivity
for seven hundred and thirty eight days and have now

(02:20:30):
finally been released, including Alan o'hell who is twenty four
years old, was abducted from a shelter after fleeing the
Nova music festival. So many of these people were just
at a music festival when these Hamas members attacked. They
were told to target civilians and so that's what they did.
They were told to shoot and kill these people and

(02:20:51):
to cause chaos and to burn their houses down, and
that's what they did. Alano Hell, twenty four years old,
now free Ariel Cuneo, twenty eight years old, taken from
the kibbutz near Ores in southern Israel. If you don't
know what a kibbutz is, that is basically like a
socialist commune. Is the best way that I can explain
it as I know it. In Israel, they have these

(02:21:13):
kibbutz's and go there, you live there, everybody shares everything.
It's like a socialist little world in there where they
focus on their religion. And that was one of the
places where they attacked. And Ariel Cuneo, who was at
one of these kibbutz is twenty eight years old, is
now free of vin natan av an atan or I'm

(02:21:35):
gonna grew up some of these names. Thirty two year
old kidnapped it from kidnapped from the Nova Music Festival.
Bar Kooperstein twenty three, kidnapp well working at the Nova
Music Festival. David Kunio thirty five, abducted from the kibbutz
with his wife, twin daughters, sister in law, and young niece.
The women and girls were released in November of twenty

(02:21:56):
twenty three. He's the brother of another hostage, so like
a big portion of his family was was taken. Eaton
Horn thirty eight years old, kidnapped from one of the
kibbutzs while visiting his brother, and another one was a
security guard twenty five years old from that same music festival,
Alkana Bolpot who she's one of the only females who

(02:22:18):
has been released alive. She was kidnapped from the Nova
Music Festival and was one of the organizers of said festival.
Also from the festival was Ayatar David twenty four years old,
Gali Berman and Ziv Berman twenty eight, twin brothers who
worked for light and sound at the music festival, and

(02:22:38):
then several other people from the music festival. A soldier
who was pulled from his tank and abducted near the
Gaza border, twenty two year old Matan ngress A, Matan
Zangawer twenty five year old, kidnapped from his home at
one of his kibbitzz and then the final two Nimrod Cohen,
that's a tough name. Nimrod Cohen, an IDF soldier who

(02:22:58):
was kidnapped after his tank was attacked near the border.
And Omri Miran forty eight was kidnapped from his home.
He also was at that kibbitts. Do you think at
the time say Nimrod over where Nimrod lives? How else
am I? Is there another way say no?

Speaker 6 (02:23:16):
Do you think that you said it's a tough name
growing up? You think it is? Like do you think
that that is a term that is used over there?
I hope not, because that's bad.

Speaker 1 (02:23:27):
That's like being born of the name dumbass, dumbass, wasson.
The name is Dumas, the mister Dumas is the name. Indeed,
I also wanted to mention, did you guys see that
insane story? Seln you might be able to bring a
lot to dumbass and dumbass. I'm a go get her.
You might be able to get a quick rundown of this.
It's it's a little bit difficult of a story. But
before we wrap things up today, Trump last week, late

(02:23:52):
last week put some new tariffs on China, and right
as he was about to do this, in like a
matter of hours before Trump's press conference, to surprise announce
these these tariffs on China, somebody shorted bitcoin and they
put together like thirty million dollars and then they leveraged

(02:24:15):
it on these crypto accounts it's a little fishy, like,
how did you know exactly what was going to come
out at this press conference enough that you would put
over one hundred million dollars on the line. People speculating
that this is somebody at the White House, somebody who knew,
somebody who had some inside information. Who knows? Is there
such thing as insider trading if it's bitcoin? I don't know.

(02:24:39):
That's another good question. But the person put up this
wasn't in I think ceiling confact.

Speaker 6 (02:24:44):
SS whale bags one hundred and sixty million by shorting
ahead of Trump's China tariff, and.

Speaker 1 (02:24:49):
One hundred and sixty million in like an hour, right,
the crypto market saw more than seventeen billion in leveraged
positions being wiped out over the last four hours. The
development follows President Donald Trump and now I think one
hundred percent tariff on China. Yeah, he shorted bitcoin, this
guy and leveraged tens of millions of dollars into a
lot more and made how much did you say, one

(02:25:10):
hundred and sixty mili? It's crazy.

Speaker 6 (02:25:12):
There's at least one trader who was sitting on millions
of dollars after shorting cryptocurrencies ahead of the shocking announcement,
a popular on chain analytics account shared that a crypto
trader closed leverage positions in bitcoin and ethereum. This the
BTC whale. Bitcoin whale closed ninety percent of his BTC
short and fully closed his ethereum short, making around one

(02:25:34):
hundred and ninety to two hundred million profit in just
one day on hyper liquid.

Speaker 1 (02:25:39):
Crazy like, and how did this person know? How did
they know to be? No, I do too. I wouldn't
even know how to do this. If you don't know why,
I have no idea what I just said. If you
don't know how any of these means.

Speaker 2 (02:25:50):
I wouldn't that be in the moment, like as someone
who has ethereum, Like if he did it, then that
would have been the day for other people.

Speaker 1 (02:25:57):
Yes, but you you would have had to know that
something was happening right in that moment. And when you
short something like if you short bitcoin, what you're doing
is placing a bet against the value of bitcoin. So
you're risking a lot. You're saying, I think bitcoin is
actually going to go down, and so we put these
bets that bitcoin was going to go down. Just like
an hour before Trump does a press conference about China

(02:26:18):
and these tariffs, and then Bitcoin tanks as a result
of that press conference. And while it's tanking, he collects
on his shorts and he sells everything and then moves
it over to these accounts ten million at a time.
And the guy made well over one hundred million dollars
in like an hour or something. And I'm like, this
is a different world. I don't I'm not even operating
in the world where this guy was to make life

(02:26:40):
changing legacy wealth for your family for one hundred generations
in five seconds. Basically just crazy.

Speaker 6 (02:26:49):
So just probably just going to pack it all up,
cash it out, and retire. He keeps going, No, keeps going.
Now you just do it for fun. At this point,
you're like, oh, I got made that. Let's try it
again when we come back. Here's what we're gonna do.
We somebody said, just tell it. Was it Baron Trump?
No one knows. No one knows who it was.

Speaker 1 (02:27:08):
It had to be somebody who had access to at
least tens of millions of dollars, who knew financial markets,
and who knew likely what this announcement was going to be.
I don't know who that person is. That's the Bitcoin
thing is it's anonymous mostly, but when we come back
final dispatches stories, it did make the cut. And today
I learned to wrap everything up for a Monday that's

(02:27:29):
coming up next in the news Junkie. We have about
seventeen days until the roast. Now, I was looking at yesterday,

(02:27:51):
I think there's only two regular seats left. I think
there's only two regular seats left, and we need some
solo adventures to knock those out. That's why they've lasted.
But grab yours. Go to the roast, the roast of
Sean Watson at Judson's Live. It's gonna be a phenomenal event.
You're gonna be there for the taping of this event
and you're gonna get all sorts of goodies. You're gonna

(02:28:11):
have a blast. You're gonna laugh your ass off. It's
gonna be a night to remember. We dress up. We
dress up for this, either in a costume or make
it fancy. I got to work on my suit this weekend.
A little bit of work done on that this weekend.
I could not be more throat getting it, uh wid
a little bit. No, I'll have roasted. I'll never survive.

(02:28:37):
I'll have you know, I was doing research on what
else you wear. I was like, you know, what's proper fashion?
What should I what matches with what you know? I
was putting some some work in and yeah, I'm excited
for that. We got that coming up soon in the
news chunky dot com slash roast, thenews chunky dot com
slash roast. Do you have enough time for a dispatch

(02:28:58):
or what?

Speaker 2 (02:29:00):
And then also consider I was just going to text
it to you less than twenty seconds. When you see
that time, or take out twenty seconds.

Speaker 1 (02:29:08):
Oh okay, the time is wrong. Yes, okay, well but
Sean will probably only all right, let's just do one
awesome one of the way out. That one's quite long.
This is square Slinger talking about arts.

Speaker 21 (02:29:28):
Okay, hey guys, hey, sorry for the smoke alarm chirps.
You're probably gonna hear them anyway. I went to the
Louver this past year, and it's funny inside the room
where the Mona Lisa is, which is a very small paint.

Speaker 1 (02:29:43):
It's tiny.

Speaker 21 (02:29:44):
If you're standing and staring at the Mona Lisa directly
behind you, there is a massive painting that covers a
lot I don't know, four foot tall and twenty feet long.
It's simply incredible. I am it more impressive than the
Mona Lisa.

Speaker 2 (02:30:00):
One more beep.

Speaker 1 (02:30:01):
A lot of people do, a lot of people do,
and to boot. The Moda Lisa wasn't even really popular
for a while until it got stolen and returned and
had like a crazy history being passed around.

Speaker 6 (02:30:14):
Those big ones probably don't get stolen as much. No,
they're too big to steal.

Speaker 1 (02:30:18):
That goes back to the theory tougher you too, huh.
All right, let's get the hell out of here. Let's
do today.

Speaker 11 (02:30:26):
I learned the following information may make you feel smarter,
but will not actually increase your IQ.

Speaker 1 (02:30:32):
So don't get cocky. Now, it's done what we call
today to clear the deck. There was an explosion at
this explosions factory, I guess I should say in Tennessee.
It was wild, yes to see eighteen people I think
died and they said just like there was, there's no
way help to help them. It just the whole place

(02:30:53):
blew up. The other thing was this shooting at this
cow South Carolina bar that left for dead and twenty injured.
And it's a place called Willie's and Grill. From what
I can tell the history of this bar is like
this place is drama filled. There's former owners going after
new owners. I wouldn't be surprised if that popped up
in the reasoning why this whole thing went down. Her
ex wife says she's not surprised in the least. Yeah,

(02:31:15):
that kind of thing. Those vibes for sure. Today. Learn
from Monday, October thirteenth to twenty twenty five. Today, learn
this lady right here Dianerross is correct. Diana Ross, although
being nominated thirteen times for a Grammy Award, has never
won a single. It's kind of brutal. She's had twelve

(02:31:40):
number one pop singles on the Billboard charts, which is impressive. Obviously,
the best charting female group was The Supremes that she
was part of, and she never got a Grammy Award. Unbelievable.
Today learn A woman who slashed Leonardo DiCaprio's face and
neck with a broken bottle at a Hollywood party in
two thousand and five was sentenced to two years in prison.

(02:32:01):
She reportedly snuck into the party and attacked the actor
after mistaking him for an ex boyfriend. DiCaprio had to
get seventeen stitches at the time today. Learn this band
right here.

Speaker 2 (02:32:14):
Yeah, I get cute.

Speaker 1 (02:32:17):
She sells Sanctuary by the Cults, Yes, the Cult is correct.
During the recording of the hit classic rock song she
Sells Sanctuary by the Cult, their drummer Nigel Preston, was
so drunk the band kept taking away pieces of his
drum kit until he could only play just one. He
could keep control of that in his drunken state. Thank

(02:32:38):

appreciate it. We're back tomorrow, the same time, same place.
