Speaker 1 (00:00):
How is everybody doing on Oh, Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
You'm catastrophic with you today. So I'm gonna be upfront
with you. Okay, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be transparent
with everybody right now. I woke up and I was
doing all the show prep stuff that I do, and
I was talking back and forth with the developers. I

(00:27):
don't know what happened. I was trying to get some
things fixed with the website update at the newsjunkie dot com.
And Cordy goes, you do know the show starts in
thirty minutes, right, and I was an hour behind. I like,
I was looking at clocks. I was doing everything that
I do on every morning. There was no reason for

(00:49):
me to be behind. I didn't drink a bunch last
night or anything, no reason whatsoever. But she goes, oh,
you know, just so you know, I don't want to
shock you or anything, but you know you're You're on
in twenty four minutes or something, and I go, so,
you thought it was eight thirty.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
I thought it was I thought everything was an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Earlier, ten thirty. I don't know what time is it anymore?
Sorry you fell back? Did you fall back? My dead I.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Fell back before everybody else this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
So I go, oh god it. She goes, is there
anything I can help you with? And she was like
a NASCAR pit crew crew driver trying to get lint
off of me and helped me get moving along. And
I have done that. You're celsius for little sipsy. I mean,
luckily I didn't have a very long hike to the office,

(01:38):
but if I did, there would have been major problems.
And have you guys ever done that before where you're
like I looked at the clock. I didn't have any
problems to speak of, and then for some reason, I
just like everything was shifted an hour off.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
For me, and what I think is just five minutes
turned out to be twenty five minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
That I swear, I swear to God.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
I thought that I was about thirty minutes ahead of time.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I was like, I can just cruise through things today,
take a nice long shower. No, you're an HQ.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
That is what we call ninety five miles an hour
on the express line.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Oh god, I would have been white knuckling it. For me,
that's impossible, but I would have been giving it a shot.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I did notice that before the show you were unusually quiet,
and whenever you did speak, it was like very rushed,
and I was like, oh, he's going through something right now.
I was just trying to put all the pieces.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
In order, you know what I mean, say, like.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
To think it's one pm right now.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Sean, No, You're like, you know, you know what it
does kind of when you when that happens to you,
you get this feeling of like almost hypnotism. For a
moment or two, You're like, whoa.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Your world is like, wait, everything I thought was up
is down and left is right.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I thought today was Thursday.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
I wish it wonderful.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
That's why sometimes depending on how somebody orchestrates a surprise
party or a surprise anything, like, you go, well, wait,
my mind is still in the mindset that we're going
to do the planned thing, not the unplanned thing, And
so now I'm all kind of torn around by well

(03:22):
I still have to do this and that, and no,
I don't like it one bit. I don't like it
one bit, but I do like this. Let's start the
show off with a huge round of applause and shouts
out to somebody named Corey Corey.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Hello, thank job for Corey out there. Sent just moments
after the birth of his young new child. Maverick is
his kid's name, all right, badass name. Maverick is his
kids names. Corey at his child Maverick at the hospital
and he said, hey, you know, big fans of the show,

(03:58):
he's got his News Junkie shirt on, and he's got
the newborn right.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
In front of him at the hospital.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
And a name of the.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Very brave of your Corey to wear the white news
junkie shirt because I know what goes on after birth, right, yeah, Well.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
To Sabrina's points, Sea Lane, it's not too late, is
it to change the name?

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Like do you like the baby's not born, and they're like,
quick sign it name this son of Aki's probably signed
the berth to Maverick and then you can.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Do an addendum. Will you get those on the contract.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
All the time, like a like a middle name Maverick.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
The News junkie, Sabrina Sea Lane sean last name. I
think that works, Tomato.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I know, just look like these are as fresh as
fresh boorns, get man right right out.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Fresh barns.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
That's what they call fresh boards.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Fresh as newborns get That's what I meant. That's the
whole thing I was getting at. I told you I'm
behind a little bit today. Okay, Oh, there's so many
great photos. So thank you so much, Corey. We greatly
appreciate it. I'm so happy for you and your family
and glad the baby appears to be a spy. Yeah,

(05:13):
it's never too early to do any of this stuff,
So thank you for that. We appreciate it. Let's put
her ears the ground, our fingers on the post. Let's
se what's happening to this great, big, wide world of ours.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
And we go to Cincinnati, Ohio.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Everybody where they're police chief. Yet another place with a
female police chief. I keep seeing this pop up. It
was Louisiana, exactly New Orleans I think has a female
police chief. I think New York as a female police chief.
New York City. What are they do when they're on
their periods, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
There's a lot of concern about.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
So this woman is in control of the police force
in Cincinnati, and I guess there's been some problems. So
she's starting out simple here, she's saying, we just need
everybody to behave it's worth the shot. I guess, like
just coming out as a police officer and being like everybody,
if you could just behave, things would be better. Here

(06:08):
she is. And so my.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Message to everybody, learn how to behave in our city,
but especially learn how to behave in our downtown and
our Fountain Square. And our officers will approach you if
you start to behave disorderly on Fountain.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
Square, mom vie, because these things sometimes start as a
minor altercation and then evolve into something bigger. So do
not come down town, especially on Fountain Square, if you
don't know how to behave.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Man, what city right now?

Speaker 6 (06:41):
City?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
What city does not have this problem right now? Is
there anybody where they're downtown where you're living right now?
It's like downtown is great.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
I mean there are some very small towns that are like,
this is our downtown because we have a three story
building here, uh huh. And those are the nice downtowns,
not a not.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
A lot of places where it's just working swimmingly. It
would appear she's trying to say she's trying to work
with sugar.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I guess here you could say, okay, but I have
yet to see any body in her position say that phrase.
What if that changes everything? All they needed to hear
was behave. I watched Fountain Square. Everything outside of Fountain Square, Charles,
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I want like a a side by side shot live
of the criminals, you know, as if it's like somebody
getting drafted for a football team. But the criminals are
at home and they're like, oh, it's this.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Weird like super intensive biker meeting. Like I don't know
if you guys heard the chief this morning, but we
have been called to behave, behave, But I don't why
is it especially Fountain Square.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's where the real problem is.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, it seems that's not fair to everyone outside of
the Fountain I.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Don't know what to do with her name either. Cincinnati
Police Chief Teresa. That part's easy, right, we get there.
The G thh E E TG the G Theresa, the
G I think is the best I could do. She's
she's solved the problem. She said, learn how to behave,
And now, criminals, the ball is in your court.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Okay. If you don't learn from this, things are gonna.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Get a whole lot worse. Trust me on that one.
Real quick. An email to start us off here, Steven
emails Tips of the News Junkie dot com and as
Steven says, airports need to learn from Japanese airports. Honestly
couldn't get this out of my mind yesterday, how impressive
it was we talked about this international airport in Japan.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
I have a take on this that I found very interesting.
I don't know that I agree with it, but okay,
I was reading real quick. Let me tell people what
we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
If they missed this, this airport in Japan, Yes, that's right,
I did say it.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Friend.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Undoubtedly, I'm totally ready to go Japan. This airport in
Japan has never lost anybody's luggage, any baggage at all,
since like twenty seventeen, they have lost nobody's bag and
they're bragging about it. What was your take.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
On that you let somebody on Reddit was talking about
because this this comes up.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
I get that.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
You know, they've obviously boasted this once or twice by
now and won awards for it. And somebody said, uh,
beware of claims made by people or groups from shame
based cultures. And they're like, excuse me, and they're like
they said, like over there, the shame attached to a
wrongdoing is worse than the wrongdoing. Oh yeah, so if

(09:35):
you call somebody out for doing something bad, they go, whoa.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yeah, what a difference between countries.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
What kind of example are you setting here? Here's the thing.
Whoever's in control of the shame dial In Japan, they
have it dialed up to like a ten. You might
want to kick that back a couple. Here in the
United States, the shame dials at about a one.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, so say one five.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Maybe we want to click our shame dial up quite
a bit, and then everybody in Japan just click it
down a little bit. But there's a perfect there's like
a Goldilocks zone this person.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
And like, the reason I don't think this is totally
sound is because plenty of international travelers would go through
here and not be based in shame culture and just
want their effing luggage. But they said, if employee X
loses luggage and employee Why brings attention to it, the
culture would punish employee Why as much or more than
the person who lost the luggage.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
That's a lot of pressure.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
And aku for the offender. That kind of thing. And
it happened at a boarding school where like a several
administrators and teachers were accused by parents of abusing and
assaulting mentally disabled students, and the parents protested at the school,
and the media was like, what kind of example are
these parents setting? It's too high? Setting is two testers. Yeah,

(10:59):
like we have it way too low. They have it
way too high.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
But let's go to Stephen here, who says, so I
live in Tokyo and I have since twenty seventeen. Not
only does Kansai Airport have the reputation of never losing luggage.
Excuse me, but the two airports here in Tokyo, Haneda
and Narita. I'm doing my best time, Maria Azos, Nada
and Narita are constantly battling each other for the number

(11:23):
one spot in the world for the cleanest and overall
best airport. Imagine that. Imagine you're battling each other to
be cleanest.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
There they're doing the opposite.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
You could lose.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
They're like, we got planes up see you.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
We got airports in the United States with yellow rooms
still I think Heartsville Jackson, Atlanta. Fun fact about Japanese
airports too, they don't scam you with prices. Let's say
you go to a restaurant in Tokyo. If you buy
a noodle dish that's eight to ten dollars, in a
beer that's three to five dollars. At the airport, it'll
cost you the exact same amount of money, So it's
not like Fridays in America where it's double the prices

(12:00):
at the airport. In all seriousness, America's airport system is
trash and needs to learn from Japan, says Steven.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Even I can't argue with you. I don't have a
great counter to your point.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
There they lack in shame.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Over there, we have pride and pride in the sense
of we're we're been just fine for many years. Our
founding fathers are totally happy with us.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's why we have yellow rooms. That's why there's nothing
more embarrassing to me. I don't know if you guys
cringe at this like I do. But you ever see
when like some dumb American streamer goes over to Japan
and starts like messing with Japanese people. I don't oh
the forest where everyone hangs themselves like they'll be on
the metro and the subway in Tokyo. Everybody's really in

(12:50):
the shame culture, like really really respectful. It's pretty quiet.
Nobody's like going crazy and throwing feces everywhere. Like, imagine
that it's a really nice thing that all these people
treat with respect together. And on the subway, you'll see
these Americans go over there and stream and they'll be
like they just start screaming stuff and be like America's

(13:11):
better than Japan. Are like stomping around like Godzilla, and
you call, oh God, this is what they're gonna think
of all of us right now. So I don't know.
Shouts out to you Japan, okay, Shouts out to Japan,
shout to Shouts out to me for being completely off kilter,
shouts out to everybody. All right, shouts all around today,

(13:33):
all of the shouts. We are going to take quick
break and we'll get it all together here. Yeah, the
shouts are all around, so we're weird. Cover all bases
are covered. When we come back, we'll hear from you.
We got a bunch of dispatches coming in. I got
the solution to the mystery of what was happening there
in Wichita. Remember the woman at the front door and

(13:54):
some guys got his arms around her and she screams
out something maybe in Spanish. Yeah, she screams something at
the top of her lungs and then they could not
find her. Well, they have found this woman and we
now have her story. I'll play it again for you
if you missed it after what she said, we will see,
we'll fill in the blanks. That's coming up next on

(14:16):
the news, chunk Kie, we have the update on this
woman in Wichita, Kansas. And if you're not following this,

(14:40):
it was this video footage that was released. This woman's
at the front door of somebody's house and their security
camera catches this woman. She's wearing like a skirt and
like a top. She kind of looks like she's ready
to go out for a night on the town and
she approaches their front door. They have no idea who
she is, and she starts screaming, and there's some guy
who wraps his arms around her and yanks her away

(15:03):
and like pulls her into the dark of night. And
we're trying to figure out what she was screaming, because
you could hear that, I mean, and he just pulls
her away and out of the.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Mouth or something, because you don't hear much after that,
just scruffle.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I did hear like a you know, maybe like maybe
he did have her his hand over the mouth right
here ready, and his hand even goes up there a
little bit. And everybody said, what happened here? What was
going on? I'm gonna tell you in just a moment
what actually happened, because they finally found this mystery woman

(15:40):
and got her story as to why she was at
this front door. But I was trying to ask people
on chat during the break, what would you do if
this happened at your house? You see that there's somebody
outside the front door, you don't know who they are.
It's some woman. She's screaming and some guy is dragging
her away and trying to be like completely honest. All

(16:02):
I could think is I would definitely dial nine to
one one right and like help the police. I was
give them the security footage and stuff. But I don't
think I would open the door and engage with whatever
was happening here. I just I don't know, Like there's.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Too many questions that I have, but it's very quick too.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah, I wonder at that moment if I'm I don't know,
I fear that I would instinctually go out and see
what happens.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
That's bad, I mean I mean it could be.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Because with my gun case on me, and then I'd
be like, give me one second.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I have to open it up and load everything up. Dance.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
I get your hands.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Off because you're right suburna happens fast.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
They start paying you. Get your damn hands off. Ed
he starts pulling the woman away from the front door
of your house and then out into the darkness. And
now if you want to respond, you've got to chase
after them. I told the story not that long ago
on the show about how something very much like this happened,
and it happened kind of recently too.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
I'll give you another example.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
But the story that I've told previously was I was
at my friend's apartment. I was living with them at
the time, and there is a neighborhood. There was a
neighborhood off of I think Jog Road, and they're in
the middle of this cheap apartment complex. There was a
big pond, like a dugout pond, and from across the pond,

(17:25):
in the middle of the night, we're having a keg party.
There's like five of us left or something, and from
across the pond, I hear some woman shrieking and running
away from this guy, and the guy's like kicking the
woman and stuff, and we go, what the hell, And
about three of us run downstairs from the apartment we're
at and we start running around the pond and we're
running full speed to try to get to this guy

(17:47):
who's attacking this woman and like kicking her down the
stairs and stuff. And then we see that as we're
running there, he throws her into his car and screeches
off and speeds out of the neighborhood. And we're like, wow, jeez,
you know, I hope everything's okay there. And the next
morning when we woke up, we found that he took
her to the end of the street and killed the woman,

(18:11):
and like the guy had a gun and he killed
the one. We were like, dude, if we would have
gotten over there and engaged with this guy that we
were trying to stop, he probably would have shot all
of us. Like he was in the frame of mind
already he was gonna kill I mean, what are the chances,
like we go over there, Oh, okay, all right, but

(18:33):
I think we would have just ended up additional victims
on that list. If that was the case, Like it
certainly could have gone that way because this person was
murderous anyhow, and they you know, obviously ended up getting
arrested and charged and all that, but just.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Shows you got two bullets and uh, they would have
gone and you, guys, instead of her, he would have shot.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
I mean, I would have gotten the key to the
city had you just help him.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
For not being a little bit faster and trying to
put my life on the line, I at least tried. Then,
I'm telling you now that I wouldn't. And before I
get to the reveal of what happened with this mysterious
woman in Wichita, we kind of encountered this again two
or three days ago. We're going for a walk with
lady and we're walking through the neighborhood Courtney and I
and as we're walking lady, we're just chit chatting about

(19:20):
the day and we hear oh, like, what was that
and it sounded like a young girl and he's here again.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Okay, we'll do it like a young girl.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Please.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
We're we're looking around and I see a white van.
I see like a couple of houses around me, and
then we start walking back towards the houses in the
van and we don't hear anything else, and we just
kept going, and I.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Was like, well, what am I supposed to do? Bust
out all of these doors? How do I know it's
not some kids playing around and playing tag with each other.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
So door immediately everybody else.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Does, right, like, hey, I heard somebody screaming in this
quadrant of the neighborhood. So we just kept going and
hope to God that that person is doing okay now.
But in this case, the person approached the cops said,
here's the video, here's what's going on. This woman screamed
at the front door yah, either Yavin or Kevin, probably

(20:22):
Yavi in which means call for help. And they could
not find her at all in Wichita until a bit
later yesterday after the show, and Wichita police responded. They said, update,
female from doorbell video located safely, so they found her.
This afternoon, around three pm, Wichita police investigators received a

(20:44):
phone call from a female claiming to be the individual
investigators were attempting to identify. Investigators immediately responded to her location,
made contact, and transported her to city Hall for further investigation.
Investigators are conducting interviews. Currently identified the female as a
thirty five year old who lives in the area where
the video is captured. At this stage in the investigation,

(21:06):
we believe this incident is a case of domestic violence
between the female and her boyfriend. The female does not
have any significant injuries. We want to thank the public
for sharing the video and still images that generated all
the attention for the incident. We do not have any
reason to believe there's an ongoing danger to the public.
So they think that there was, like, as is kind
of obvious in a way, some sort of fight between

(21:28):
the woman and man.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Hearing question, I mean yeah, but also when you see
that ring camera footage, they're like, oh, it's just a
fight between boyfriend and girlfriend. I mean that looked a
little violent to me.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh wait, what was I mean, it's a violent act.
No matter what she's screaming, he's pulling her away. And
they said the twenty two year old boyfriend, she's thirty five,
he's twenty two.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
That's an age gap.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
She's thirty five, he's twenty two. And they said he
was arrested hours later on multiple chain including aggravated batteries, strangulation,
and criminal restraint. They have not released his name just yet,
but they found out who she was, she called in,
they found out who he was, They've arrested this guy,
and they got everything under control. Thanks to all the

(22:14):
people who watched the video. But I don't know if
you'd be at the same happy, go lucky outcome if
somebody had busted out the door dramatically and said, like, hey,
you know where is she? Give her up? It could
have gone like the situation I was talking about, where
I was just moments away from something absolutely horrific happening.

(22:35):
Let us know what you think. Send us a dispatch
over at thenewsjunkie dot com, or you can always email
the show tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. But there
is your answer as to what was going down over
in Wichita. Another thing I saw that I wanted to
mention real quick, which seemed just absolutely unhinged to me,
was a viral story that's getting a lot of attention

(22:56):
right now about this family being sued for whatever reason
because they went on a Disney vacation. And when I heard.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
How much the Disney vacation cost, I had questions, Okay,
because they went on a Disney vacation and they're being
taken to court over the Disney vacation.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
The Disney vacation cost this family seventy thousand dollars. How
big of the family. That's the kicker.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
This family has twenty two kids.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Twenty two kids.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
I just felt a pulse in my ovaries at the thought, well.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
You might get another one when you hear this the
mother Sue Radford, who is part of this largest family
in Britain. I guess the mother Sue Radford first got
pregnant and had a child.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
When she was thirteen years old, and the husband was
seventeen years old and they had a child, and then
they just kept having kids, one after another after another.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Somebody allergic late text.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
So I have so many questions and.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
So little twenty two kids. You look quick a math.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Seventy thousand dollars twenty four people, right, we're including the
two parents.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
That's still.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Twy nine hundred dollars a person. Yeah, does that sound
about right to you for Disney vacation.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Europeans when they go on vacations, they go on like
long long vacations.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
They're going holiday. Yeah, so longer.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
So maybe it was like a week or two or something,
and it could definitely get pretty expensive. But they have
twenty two kids that they took to Disney for seventy
thousand don't.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Even pay taxes or does just the the government just
give all that money, you know, right back to them
the kick.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
How are they not on t I think that they were.
They had a show called twenty two Kids in Counting
on television, which is like, isn't that don't we have an.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Ex seineteen Kids in Counting? Yeah, I take that America.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
And they had a book on their life and stuff.
I don't know why, see if you could find out
why they were taken to court over taking the kids
to Disney, that's the weirdest part because it says they've
defended their whole situation. Couples defend having twenty two kids
amid being taken to court over seventy thousand dollars Disney vacation.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
And this is Noel and Sue Radford that did this.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
And I mean, certainly there's there's people who are taking
issue with the fact that he was seventeen and she
was thirteen when they were having babies.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
That's it's not a legal one took an issue after
maybe one or two or three twenty two.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
I know, and you know, like without a reality show,
and even with a reality show, I know, well we
have we have a parent right among us, right now,
we have somebody with a young child right now right
with us. Who could say one child is expensive, Yes,
one child is expensive. Can you imagine having twenty one

(26:10):
other jackson's running around?

Speaker 8 (26:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:12):
That for me though, running every which way you could
possibly think of.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
That's what this family is dealing with.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Did you see why they were getting like why they
were taking a court over this.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, they they got taken a court for pulling the
kids out of school for this really so remember you
said to do that all the time. Remember you said
it was a long vacation, Yeah, it said. The couple
from Morecambe, Lancashire, were found guilty of failing to ensure

(26:46):
regular school attendance for four of their children. So only four, okay,
between between March twenty first, which let's see March twenty first,
that's Friday, all right, and May first, so oh my god, April.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
It's a month and month about a week. That is
quite the Disney vacation that that'll get there.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
They were fined each They were each find eighty eight
dollars per child, along with one hundred and sixty and
cork costs, adding an additional on thy and.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Twenty four to the Florida trip.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
It says it comes as Disney World raises its prices. Again,
here's my half, Disney taking strays of this whole thing. Therefore,
they had twenty two kids for God's sake.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
But let us know what you think. I mean, at
some point, I'm like, geez, I don't want the government
to be involved in how many kids you can have?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
But grows up shop God, twenty cup legs.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
You don't know all their names. Like, I know you
don't know all their names. I know that you cannot.
But the oldest know everyone else's names.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
I don't know how far the age gap is, but
you know for sure, twenty two kids, the two to
four eldest take care of everybody else.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
And I was eighteen years old when my son was born.
Who by the way, today Dylan's twenty fifth birthday had
a birthday, nime twenty five years old. Twenty I was
just a kid. I was just a kid. I can't
imagine being thirteen.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
No, I mean, all right, your swimmers just started working, right, Yeah?

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I would I would think so yeah,
right around that time, and then twenty two kids later. Jesus, folks,
tell us what you think what should happen in these cases?
Let us know, send us a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie
dot com. Right we're gonna get to your emails, your dispatches.
We'll get to the press versus the Pentagon. A showdown

(28:46):
is forming. We got new details on the whole I
didn't think we could get anymore, but we got more
new details on the Alec Baldwin crash. It turns out,
thank God, maybe he wasn't telling the truth yesterday when
he did that whole story where he explained everything. So
we'll get into that as well. It's all coming up
next in the News Junkie. I want to say, guys always,

(29:21):
thanks for listening to the station, Thanks for supporting the show,
thanks for listening to the podcast, Thanks for watching the stream,
all those who do that. It's very much appreciated. Just
thank you all around. We'll get into updates on the
Alec Baldwin crash in a second. I guess he might
have been lying about something because there's some new footage.
We'll see what it looks like here and listen to

(29:41):
it momentarily. But I saw a story that came out
today from San Francisco, and it's like a hacker has
somehow dove in and uncovered the playlists of a bunch
of like famous people and politicians and stuff. And this person,

(30:02):
they call him a tech prankster, and this person is
like shaming the elected officials with the release of stuff
that's on their Spotify playlist, which Celia did something very
similar to this and this week in Florida not long ago.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah, people have been trying to dig into this for
a while, and I think what we discovered was somebody
had a fake playlist or excuse me, a fake account
on Spotify under the name Ron dea Santish and made
like a playlist and people thought that that was what
Governor of Florida, Ron de Santis listens to. And I

(30:40):
think the Governor's office was like, well know, if it
were really the governor's playlist, he would probably have a
lot of Metallica on it.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
That's when you immediately go, Okay, what's your favorite Metallica song?
Or sing some Metallica for me? Because who did they
do that too? Oh? Was the the the Yang Andrew
Yang if you remember Yan Gang, Yeah, Yan Gang, when
Andrew Yang was running for office and he was kind
of doing like this Yang twenty twenty Gang money Money.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Yeah love rap music. He's a huge fan of Eminem
old school.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
He said, he's like, I love Eminem and they go,
what's your favorite Eminem song? And he responded because he
like felt pressured in the moment with like the most
basic answer, what slick a slicka? Like he might have
said the real slim Shady or something. We were like,
what kind of Eminem fan? The real slim Shady is

(31:37):
your favorite Eminem song?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
I mean, Eminem doesn't even like that song. It would
be more interesting, though, if he had picked like some
of the edgier lyrics, like mama, like you can't, you
can't answer that question, be like hey it's me Versachi
whoo somebody shot me.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Well, they leaked all this info out and here's the story.
You can see it here if you're watching on the stream.
Channel four says San Francisco tech prankster leaks the Spotify
playlists of politicians and ceo and it's done in such
a way to like shame these people for their Spotify playlist.
Can we start we're using the word leak.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
By the way, yeah right, tech prankster looks up and releases,
looks up and blogs.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
They even went further. They were they made a whole
website for this and they called it the Panama Playlists,
which from memory, I think that's a run on the
Panama Papers, which was like a big leak journalistic thing.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Oh wow, you really really thick work here.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
I believe that's where that came from. But it says well,
one San Francisco tech bro, twenty three year old software
engineer Riley Walls, found the answer to the question of
what people were listening to. They released all.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
These people this this is Desantus.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Too, and that might be fake. The mayor of San Francisco,
Seth Myers, the late night host is secret playlist, the
CEO of open Ai, and they were like trying to
shame these people with the playlist that they have online.
And I thought to myself, I'm like, other than I
had a little while where I accidentally made my YouTube

(33:12):
music playlist that we listened to in the car. I
accidentally made it public on the news Junkie YouTube account.
I wouldn't be embarrassed at all.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
I mean you guys know my Spotify star.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, but you're like, you're okay. I was gonna build
a bump a grind mix or whatever. But but I
wouldn't be I wouldn't be embarrassed of my playlist. There's
nothing that could be on there with like, oh, Sean
listens to this song?

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Okay, but do you have set playlists or you just
have like liked songs that you show. Is that several
playlists that I wouldn't be embarrassed. But I feel like
if they were posted without me giving a little bit
of explanation as to why they're titled or what songs
are in there, then I would feel a little bit
back against the wall.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Not fair. Yeah, like you're your cell right. Nine to
eleven playlists people would probably.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
It didn't say celebrate the ease were replaced with threes.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
I told you, oh, that one would be a little
harder to I have one playlist that is pinned called
Pretend You're Adele, and that is oh, never mind. I
think you said pretend you're a doll. Okay, pretend you're
Adele the singer.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
Okay, this music and don't move it all.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
I was like, what is your you got some things
that are coming out right now.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Now, pretend you're a Dell and these are all songs
that I buy myself in the car, will fully belt
out and do all the harms and vocal warm up
is what it should have been called.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Then I have thunder Pussy. Those are booty bangers. You know,
those are gonna make the romps shake.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
I don't think that's weird though. I think that's pretty okay.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
But now you don't know me, and you see the
article and it's like, look at her playlist.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
I wouldn't like, I don't look at theirs and do this,
and I wouldn't look at yours and do it. You
know what, I because I remember, oh god, here here's
grandpa moment. This is a weird Grandpa.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
We had to put it on vinyl.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
We had We would burn CDs and you would name
the CD that you burned, and you would do this
kind of stuff. It's the same thing.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
People are just doing that with playlists now, and they're like, oh,
Ron de Santis listens to Miley Cyrus or uh Seth
Meyers listens to Jackson Brown, How embarrassing. Oh, I don't
know that Jackson Brown is necessarily embarrassing the Ron de
Santis one. So I pulled up the article I had

(35:35):
in This Week in Florida from August and it says
this is the one where it said that the DeSantis
camp denied.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
That it was his playlist. In fact, they said, well.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
The presence of Johnny Cash, Leonard skinnerd Elvis, and Frank
Sinatra on a playlist wouldn't meet the governor's approval. The
absence of country artists like George Strait and Whale and
Jenny's or eighties metal bands like Metallica and Guns N'
Roses is proof that this is not in fact his playlist.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Oh he could that's your response.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
He couldn't just say like he likes these jams, but no,
like that's not his. He has to be like if
it was mon, it'd be all slip knot baby. I'm
looking at.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
The website now, it's Panama playlist dot com.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Meant to shame these people. Are you ashamed of anything
that would come out like this about you? Like if
somebody found a playlist and they put this out there,
would you go, oh God, I would. I wouldn't want
people to know I'm listening to these songs. Email the
show tips at the news Junkie dot com, tips tips
at the news Junkie dot com, or record a dispatch
on the neewsjunkie dot com.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
But I think one of the things that the guy
was trying to the person who leaked, who did the
big leak leak of Desantas's playlist, is doubling down and
saying that it's his. And I think what some of
the news outlets, especially the left leaning ones, were trying
to point out was that old DeSantis, mister don't say

(36:57):
gay has like Elton John and Queen on his on
his playlist.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Look that I don't care about that either. Really, I
thought they were going to go other directions, like the
one eyed congressman from Texas, Dan Crenshaw, the guy who
wears eyepatch. I'm like, okay, is there gonna be something about,
you know, one eyed, one horn, flying purple people heres
or something, what's going to be on this? But in
his situation, they go to Edwards in Paris from Jay

(37:23):
Z and Kanye West's that they're popular songs.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
So does billions of other listeners agree with. I mean,
there's some boppers and Miley Cyrus, those songs are included
in that party in the USA is one of the
most popular songs in the last ten to fifteen years,
is it not.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
There's a filter on the top of this Sabrina that
says all tech, politics, media journalists, and it shows all
the celebrities where they've revealed their playlist. Maybe I'm crazy,
but am I the only one that would take away
from this? I'd be like, Oh, this is something that
people have in common. Yeah, it's something that like kind
of brings people together. Like even if we are very

(38:07):
diameter opposed, we we actually have some similar interests. Like
Caroline Levitt, the White House Press Secretary, also likes Beyonce
Run the World. She wants that song to be on
her playlist. And I just would never be and Little
Shaboozi too or respect by Aretha Franklin. But I would

(38:29):
have nothing that I was embarrassed of. I would be
happy and well basically, just so you know, the rejoins
on this show would be my playlist. That's the music
that I listened to, the music that I like, the
things that I enjoy. And you shouldn't, no matter what
yours is, ever be embarrassed. Had a friend named Jeff
growing up. I'll leave his last name out because he

(38:51):
might be embarrassed, but he shouldn't be. Jeff, you shouldn't
be embarrassed. You shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
I can't tell you his last name now because it
is a food thing.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Have I said it last name before?

Speaker 1 (39:00):
You had? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:01):
I have a thousan times it's not wait what is it? No,
that's Jason Berger.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Oh no, no, yeah, it's a Jeff Dog. No, it's
not Jeff hot Dog. It was Jeff Bean.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Hey, shout out Jiffin if you're out there. And he
when when he was eighteen and I was seventeen, I
think he had his driver's license and he had a
Cavalier that he had souped up a Chevy Cavalier. I
think King Charles h No, no, like the Chevy Cavalier,
put like a hood scoop on it and rims in

(39:35):
a speaker system and everything. And that dude loved boy bands.
We would be driving around and he would be pumping
ninety eight degrees or the Backstreet Boys our insentience, and
he wasn't ashamed of it. You shouldn't be either.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
It's a catchy song. So do me a favor and
just I say we all post our on repeats a
screenshot of our unrepeat playlist.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Don't even know if I have one of those, but
I would. I wouldn't be embarrassed at all. I'm not
embarrassed to tell you, Sabrina that recently country I attended
a concert by the world famous Baha Men, and I
was singing along to who Let the Dogs Out when
that song came around. And you shouldn't be ashamed of

(40:21):
this stuff.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
You were also at a theme park.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I was still at a concert, still watching the band play,
still enjoying a little who Let the Dogs Out?

Speaker 3 (40:30):
My top on repeats Chickenhead with Project Pat and Rhythm
is going to get you Miami Sound Machine.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Also, there's nothing embarrassing about that.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
There's nothing embarrassing about any of these.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
But let us know if you would be mortified if
people discovered something on your playlist?

Speaker 1 (40:46):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Set a dispatch over at thenewschunkie dot com right now,
quick break. When we come back. We got to get
into that Alec Baldwin thing eventually. Here we'll also see
what's going on with these journalists battle against the Pentagon.
They don't want to sign this paper. The Pentagon wants
them to sign the paper. There may be like a
press boycott or something. What's it all about. We'll get

(41:08):
into all that eventually on the show. A lot to
get to. It's all coming up next on the News Junkie.

(41:29):
A couple of things.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
One, when you hear that keyword, make sure you are
participating on this station. When the keyword blasts out to
you like that, do what it says and you.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Could be a thousand dollars richer. We've had people listening
to this show paying attention to the keywords here on iHeartRadio,
and the next thing you know, bam, you got some
money in your pocket. Hell yeah, that is awesome. So
best of luck to everybody out there. Also, Courtney popped
into the studio during the break and said the Andrew
Yang thing, that this was this politician that we were

(42:03):
talking about where people were being made fun of and
sort of mocked for their playlist that supposedly leaked in
this hack. And we mentioned Andrew Yang, who was this
politician who was like a tech guy trying to run
as a centrist and bring people together. And in an
interview they asked him, Hey, who's your favorite artist? And

(42:25):
he just gave like the cheesiest answer to it. It
was actually he said jay Z. And then they were like,
what was the jay Z song? What's your favorite jay
Z song? And he said the one with Lincoln Park.
I was like, you picked jay Z and then that's
the song that you pick as your favorite one and

(42:45):
maybe it was Edwards in Paris that was his favorite.
And he really wanted to back off of that because
it is a great song.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
It is.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
It's a very very good song. But no is he said,
jay Z Lincoln Park that was his favorite track.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
That reminds me of the movie where uh Seth not
Seth Rogan Jonah Hill Jonah Hill meets his black girlfriend's
family and Eddie Murphy's the dad and he's like very
very overbearing.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
It's like, oh, really like jay Z, you like this song?
What's the song called? Just trying to get him to
say it.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
It's just, you know, it's not a real it's not
a title.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
You should really say, you know, it's about nice people
in Paris or something. It was funny. Yeah, I did
not see that, I know what you're talking about. I
did see of it, but they never watched it never
got a round to it. We're still in the mode
of watching all these Halloween movies, and I got to
tell you we had never seen it. And last night
Corny goes, oh, I got one for us, and she watched.

(43:43):
We put on the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre from
two thousand and three or something, and his army is
in that one, right.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
I don't know you make or like just another Was
it like a sequel, like were they to this?

Speaker 2 (44:02):
I've never seen the original, so I don't know if
it was like shot for shot remake or if it
was just like another one in the series of Texas Chancels, like.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Her boyfriend trying to buy the property.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
No, no, no, it was what's her name? Jessica Alba
is in it and it was released right at that
time in the early two thousands, where like Beal Oh
maybe it was Biale, it was it was bil Jessica
Beal is the star in it, and it was at
that time, right around early two thousands, where she was

(44:34):
wearing like tight jeans and mid drift exposed and like
a tight thing around her mouth.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
I feel like you're thinking Alba.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Uh No, No, I'm pretty sure that I think Sea
Lane's right. I think that's who it was, but we
could check, and that is one of the most gruesome
movies I've seen in an incredibly long time. That was
then bring her Back, Bring Them Back different, It's just
different than It's way more like about this creepy guy
chasing them all down and hacking people with chainsauce as

(45:05):
you can imagine. We have Beal confirmation on Beal Thank
you Beal point.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
And Jessica bal it was didn't you just say Alba?

Speaker 2 (45:13):
You said Alba, and I said Alba initially, then you
corrected me with Bale, and then we went back to.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Alba Alba And the cover of Honey that Dance.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Oh yeah, well they did that.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
Every movie was like that back in the early two
thousands for at least a little bit into this country.
I don't know. Those were the good old days.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
We can hear from you. You can tell us whatever's
on your mind, whatever you're thinking. Send us a dispatch
at the news junkie dot com or an email at
the tips at the news junkie dot com. Somebody responding
to the family with twenty two kids, Mike says, so
twenty two kids, that was one woman, woman when she
wore shorts, you'd hear whistling when the wind blows, he said.

(45:54):
The last baby born out strolled out swinging a cane,
channeling Stewe Griffin. Okay, thank you? Do you see? You
could send anything you want tips at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Brian emails and says, Hey, Sean, I'm a podcaster, so
I'm always late. Anyways, I've been a lifelong Rush fan. Well,
if that's in your playlist, you certainly shouldn't be shamed

(46:14):
about it. You should not be ashamed either, he says.
I've been a lifelong Rush fan and a drummer. Neil
Pert has always been a major influence in my playing.
From what I've heard and seen, Anika Niles is insanely
talented and will most likely be true to form. This
is the new drummer I guess that they're touring with.
So that being said, it is that being said. The

(46:35):
first time I saw Rush was thirty years ago, and
you and I are the same age. Tickets were about
seventy dollars. I saw them on what was their final tour,
and the tickets for literally the very top row stage left,
and I mean stage left where you couldn't have anybody
behind you at the Amili Arena and Tampa were two
hundred dollars. That was thirty years ago. So for people

(46:56):
making an issue about it, they've never actually been to
a Rush show. It's see and they always sell out. Anyways,
just wanted to throw it out there. Keep up the work,
says Brian, Thank you for the email. And then a
lot of people responding this morning with this story. And
it's far too frequent that we've been seeing these, honestly,
about all of these schools that are facing bomb threats.

(47:20):
And I guess this morning there was over forty schools
that were in one morning. Yeah, I guess you remember
the last time when somebody mailed us the threat that
was going out to all these colleges and stuff. It's
like a mass one, and I guess they did it again.
And in this case, somebody sends the email that they're
getting from the school.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Let me see if I can okay, It.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Says, good morning, Lake County Schools families late last night.
Forty Florida, in this case Florida school districts. This may
have been in other states too, but forty Florida school districts,
including Lake received an anonymous bomb threat that appears to
be part of a hoax that's intended to solicit money.
The FDL is investigating, but officers do not consider the

(48:05):
threats to be credible. Local law enforcement officers are aware
and will work with us today as they always do,
to help keep our campuses safe. We appreciate their partnership
and your continued support of Lake County schools. They said,
so they are among forty schools that got these threats.
This email are setting out what the parents were getting

(48:25):
in this case in Lake County, Florida. But we've seen
a lot of this. I continue to stand by. Something
can be changed here. We can fix this. There's a
way to make life better and have better outcomes for everybody.
We need the telecom companies, the telecommunications big wigs, We
need them to come together and agree on two things.

(48:48):
Number one, burner phones are.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
No more a thing.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
You have to register some sort of name with the
device that you purchase. Okay, you have to show identification,
and you have to have some sort of connection to
the SIM card that you're purchasing. No more of this
anonymous SIM card type of things. They're going to make
the worst of worst arguments for why this should still
be a thing, like battered wives need to.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Be able to you know, there's no way to stop that, though, Sean.
I mean, it's not even a burner phone. You could
buy SIM cards.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
That's what I'm saying though. But of course there's a
way to stop it.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Yeah. All you have to do is say to the people,
the companies who sell these SIM cards, you need to
collect the information on the people who purchase this, and
when something happens with one of the SIM cards that
you're selling, we're going to bring it back to you
every single time. They just did this. I don't know
if the governor of California actually signed off on it.
It'll be a good test of where he's at, because

(49:43):
this is an obvious win in some of you should
sign They decided finally, after getting tired of all these
hobos and you know, drug addicts in California stealing copper
wire out of all the housing and out of public
utilities and stuff, and then taking that cop wire that
they steal and bringing it to the same three or

(50:03):
four recycling companies that pay off the hobos and the
drug addicts. They don't care. They're making money off this
giant criminal enterprise, just like the people who buy the
catalytic converters that they know are stolen. Right, And so
California said, nope, we're not going to do it anymore
unless the governor didn't sign this. See let's see if
the governor signed this thing that I'm talking about about

(50:24):
copper wire in California. But they had an opportunity here
at least to say, we're going to force all these
recyclers to take down these important details and they will
be responsible for all of the copper wire that comes in.
In the same way the telecom companies should be responsible
for anybody who has a SIM card or a number,

(50:44):
and then if bomb threats are or phishing attempts or
all these other things are done, they should be held
liable as well. We shouldn't be able to spoof caller ID.
That should be something that they lock in place that's secure,
like HTTPS or something where you can't fake a domain anymore,
and make it so you can't spoof caller ID or
just use anybody's phone number to call in these these attacks.

(51:07):
It's just between this and the.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
What's it called swat like the swatting events and stuff.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
It's just we don't need to deal with this. We
don't need to put up with this.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
It looks like Newsom did sign this bill a stem
copper wire theft that's shutting LA's lights off.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
According to last good for him. I don't always agree
when there's some In fact, I disagree with him a lot,
but I agree with that one hundred percent. That's a
smart move. And when these people are doing this, you
need to arrest them. Sometimes we were like, well we
and then we just deal with like five criminal actors
that want to make life miserable for millions of Americans.

(51:43):
No more?

Speaker 1 (51:44):
All right, no more. I don't even know if I
have no more anymore. That's wow, that's all. It's a
deep cut. Yeah, true, irony.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Oh, I do have this for some old guy in
a news report, he was like, I was putting up
with it. I was dealing with everything. No Am, All right,
there you go. Thank you for the emails tips at
the news Junkie dot com. Thankfully everything is safe at
those schools at least for now. What do you think
about all this? Tell us send us a dispatch over
at thenewsjunkie dot com. We'll save the Alec Baldwin thing

(52:16):
for a bit. Later here on the show, we got
an update about something that's happening in the world of
AI which should rock you to your core. Will it?
I don't know, but we'll talk about it as we
always do, because this one's going viral and it's coming
up next on the news Junkie just talking during the

(52:50):
break a little bit about this story. And I don't
know this has ever been done before. I don't know
that this has ever been done before. There was a
woman in Penelas County, and I'll spare you a bunch
of the details because they're just really, really bad. Suffice
to say, if I'm not interested in repeating them here,
that's how bad they are. But this woman in Panelas County,

(53:11):
which is near Tampa, well, which I think Tampa might
be in Panelas County. Actually I'm not positive about that ceiling.
Maybe you could check, but Panella's County woman has been
arrested on child sexual abuse charges and capital sexual battery
charges Tampa, but there might be some Panelas in there too.
It's it's it's the area, yeah, like Tampa, Saint Pete

(53:32):
that that area.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
If you're familiar.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
They said, this woman who has been charged forced her
eleven year old daughter to perform sex sax on video.
And here's the kicker. I don't believe they've ever done
this before, but they're going for the death penalty on
this lady. We're going for the death penalty, yeah, which
which is kind of interesting because you know, traditionally we

(53:55):
as a society we say I for an eye. You
know you you heard. This obviously goes back to biblical
times and hammer Abbi was that hammer Abbie for an eye.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
Don't know, I might be getting that wrong. I'm going
way out of my depth on that.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
But the whole eye for an eye idea is obviously
that if somebody takes something from you, you take something
from them, and somebody steals from you, maybe even cut
their hand off, and these sorts of punishments, and Americans
have a blood loss, they do. We absolutely do. We
want to see revenge, We want to see people get even.

(54:28):
We don't care necessarily when people die if we think
that they absolutely deserve it. And you can see that.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
In all sorts of ways in different news stories, but
traditionally we've said, if somebody kills a person, then it's
okay to take.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Their life, right. That's just like an American stance, illegal stance,
et cetera, et cetera. Not that I agree with it,
it's just the way that we've been And in this case,
you have somebody who did not kill anybody. And I'll
be careful on this, but didn't physically harm anybody. Now,
did they mentally harm them? Yes, in the worst way

(55:07):
that I could imagine. They have mentally harmed with this person,
and real life harm, not like this therapy speak that
people will toss around like the real deal. And I
think most people will probably be okay with it. I
think people will hear, oh, what, wait, what did she do?
So this woman didn't kill anybody, but she's going to
be possibly put to death, and then you tell them,

(55:28):
you tell that person what this woman's crime was, what
she did.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
To our eleven year old child. I think most Americans will.

Speaker 3 (55:34):
Say, yeah, anyone that is you know, I don't know,
we don't know the details obviously, or you haven't yet
to share them. But anyone accused of a sexual crime
of this nature ever been put to death before?

Speaker 2 (55:47):
I don't believe in the state. Yeah, I believe it's
from it's from a new law. I believe it says
the acts constitute sexual battery. The mother's crime crimes are
capital offense is punishable by death, says the sheriff. They're
trying to see who the mom sent all this stuff to.
And there's a man, that thirty eight year old man

(56:08):
who's behind bars as a result of this. And now
they're saying that the punishment for the mom should be
that she gets the death penalty. And that's what thirty
eight year old man get charged with. Thirty eight year
old man they have not named, and they said that
he has been child with charged with obtaining and viewing

(56:28):
child sexual content. Okay, so he was like the recipient
of yes these videos, yes, and meeting with young children
to engage in sexual activity. So I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
People will probably be okay with him put to death
through I think Americans are fine with this. If you're not,
let us know, let us know, sending a dispatcher anymo.
But I think most Americans, of all of the types
of people that Americans look down on, at the very
very very bottom of that is these sexual deviants that

(57:02):
go after kids. No one cares what happens to them
if I'm honest with you, and I don't mean to
ruffle feathers here, but there's probably a lot of super
unconstitutional stuff that happens to sex offenders.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Literally, if you talk to anybody who knows a lot
about law, there are probably very statewide and federal things
that happen to sexual predators that are unconstitutional that probably
should be overturned. But guess what, no one cares. They
are the lowest among us, and people don't care. It's

(57:36):
like the story of the dad who popped in the
room and some man was abusing a child, right, and
this dad beat They told, yeah, he beat this man
and then beat him some more, took a break out
of lunchible and beat him some more, and it was
very apparent. And guess who cared. No one, all right,

(57:56):
no one. No one cared because of the situation. Just
like the guy from the Lost Profits, the band from
the early two thousands that we talked about, Ian Watkins,
who was just killed by some fellow inmates. Everyone yawned,
that's the reaction because people are like, sometimes we think
that's what you deserve. Sometimes you get what you deserve, right,

(58:18):
or you get what you need if you're gonna go
in song for him, but let us know what you
think of that. I would guess most of you are
probably on board, but do send us a dispatch over
at thenewsjunkie dot com. Let's work in a couple of these.
Let's see, here we go. Here's TD with the dispatch
for us about these playlists that a hacker is released

(58:39):
to try to shame people online.

Speaker 9 (58:41):
Oh my gosh, you guys remember this conversation back when
we were talking about the kids wearing like band t
shirts and someone saying like, hey, name three songs or whatever.
I got into the biggest fight with my best friend
of our lives over this stupid topic because she said
how much she liked Tom Petty as a part of
a regular conversation and I called her out and I
was like, name three songs. She named one, maybe two,

(59:04):
and just lost it and we got and we didn't
talk for a week.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
It was awful. I embarrassed her. It was so bad.
I feel like such a jerk ack thing to do. Anyways,
talk to you seen bye, TD. I remember that. I
remember talking about that because I thought it was like
like ambushing somebody like that is not fantastic, and most
of it was just rando public stuff. Like you're walking
along and you see a teenage girl with a Nirvana

(59:28):
shirt or a Slip Not shirt or a Slayer shirt,
and you're like, huh. Even no Slayer named three songs.
You're like, uh, I.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
Could have named three songs of bands that I could
recite every single lyric who said song title Guy.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Yeah, that happens a lot too. I think a lot
of times in conversations. One of the most important things
when communicating and talking with people is establishing what you
think words mean, what people think about words, and saying like,
what does this mean to you?

Speaker 1 (59:58):
What does this mean?

Speaker 2 (59:59):
A on on terminology and like hashing things out and
talking about things. But in the world of like just
ambushing somebody and going name three Metallica.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
Songs, Name three follow Out Boy songs? Do you have
forty five minutes?

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
I could. That's one of the few bands that I
probably could.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Because then they also do that emo thing where it
was like the boy who blocked his own shop and
then all of a sudden his mom said you have
to go to the family reunion, but a lamb showed up.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
I feel follow Boy our lawyer. Our lawyer begged us
to rename this song is one of them. I think, yeah,
I think.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
With Fallout Boy, I would probably get a couple right
and then accidentally name a Panic at the disco song.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
It's fair enough.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Yeah, I mean there's a lot, a lot, a lot
of similarities there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
All right, let's do another one. Here's musical Matt talking
about me.

Speaker 8 (01:00:52):
I guess hey, Jo gies Happy Wednesday through Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
I want to let Sean off the hook as a
Disney adult because recently he called the Tomorrowland Transit the
people mover that wrong means Sean's and O g Ceili
and you're the best Jackson, Sabrina, my girl, Josh, thanks

(01:01:18):
forby filling in you Fritz. All right, everybody have a great, great,
great weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
West start playing the.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Music on you friend, pass along those messages.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
They started pulling the microphone down and lowering the amount
of donations going to the charity. At the end of
that dispatch, musical Matt, but thank you. Nonetheless, you're a
music involve Maybe one more it's is.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Let's see somebody talking about uh, you know what, I'm
gonna save this I'm gonna save this for later because
it'll make more sense in context of another story.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
We'll hold on to that. We'll see what you think
we will work in a couple of emails while we
have a moment, Andrew emails the show tips at the
News junkie dot com. He says, junkies, I lived in
Gainesville and about fifteen years ago I took an old,
rusty steel filing cabinet to the local metal recycler. They reed,
I filled out a short form with my driver's license

(01:02:16):
for a stupid old cabinet, but they said it was
because of copper and other metal theft. They were required
to keep track of all of this. Also, surprisingly, I
got ten dollars or more for the stupid filing cabinet
I gave them. And on the shame issue, you gotta
love Japan's society. We definitely need more shame in our
country when it comes to poor behavior. Adam Curl has
been yelling at this about this for decades. I bet

(01:02:38):
they don't have a ton of copper wires being ripped
out of the buildings in Japan. Keep up the good work,
as always, says Andrew. Yeah, I mean, I don't know
I agree. I think Japanese culture is in ways of civility,
in ways of shame, even though I think they go
too far in some circumstances, in ways of respect for

(01:02:59):
your fellow person, I think Japanese culture is superior in
all of those ways. You know, American culture has places
where it exceeds and surpasses expectations, Fewer and fewer of
them as the years go by, but we do miss that.
Like you can't go on public transit in the United
States of America without having some lunatic or some really

(01:03:22):
really low IQ individual like trying to ruin the experience
for everybody or making people feel uncomfortable. And that's not
very common in Japan. And you don't see a lot
of hobos in Japan, and you don't see a lot
of like mentally ill people roaming the street in Japan.
And much of that goes back to that same shame factor.
I think THEIRS is turned up maybe a little too high,

(01:03:43):
where sometimes these people, when they get shamed about something,
even if it seems trivial, we'll even take their own
lives because of the level of shame. And that's bad.
But some level of shame is very good is very
very good, and we have lost that, especially among lower
IQ individuals who roam the very same streets state you

(01:04:04):
and I. A lot of these people just real them.
But you gotta move on. You got to enjoy your
life regardless, and you've got to try to fix things
that make life better for everybody else. And I think
the laws about this sort of like stealing these copper
wires and stuff they do that they fix that. I
don't want you to stealing my catalytic converter either. When
we come back the next episode with Sabrina. What's coming

(01:04:26):
up on the next episode?

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):

Thank you sing a balloon boy? Didn't your balloon very good?
Balloon boy was crazy?

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
And if you go back to that one thirty mark,

Yeah? Like he's now in a metal bands.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
Him hardcore look at these guys.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
It was in two thousand and nine that Richard and
my yummy Heen claimed their six year old son Falcon
was trapped in a bay loon, as the AI song
had said, seven thousand feet above the ground. Turns out
it was not the case, and since then Richard at
the very least has gone from that to selling bear

(01:08:16):
Scratch mm hmmm, which was a delicious spray you could
okay have on your body.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
I feel like we've talked about this before. I vaguely
remember this, you know. I always remember the bloom Boy
Dad because on one hand, I always kind of looked
at him like a like a great dad and a
bad dad at the same time. Yeah, because I love
the idea of fathers pulling their kids away from TV
and like working on all these fun little science balloon

(01:08:45):
like all the rest of this stuff minus the bad stuff.
He was on the right path. He wanted to be
a hands on, fun science dad and then science dad.

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
You could have done the science dadding without the entire
country think that your child was up seven thousand feet
in the air in a balloon. But he did go
from science Dad to the bear scratch, whatever the hell
that was. Duke also creating a new superhero called Aluminum Man.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Man Man sounds like a real winter yeap. So there
you have it, getting which.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):

it's not that hot damn like a regular pizza pan. Wow,
Aluminum Man Man Man. Now let's go to another superhero.
They may not be wearing capes, but they may be
wearing fake pubic hair hair hair.

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
I'm listening.

Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
Thanks to I'm Kardashian, you can now achieve the ultimate
bush her. Skims brand just released a line of micro
string thongs. Now, I'm not trying to show my age,
but I always thought the point of thongs was that
it was micro to begin with.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
It was the micro one. Yeah, Honestly, some of the
thongs I've seen over the years, I didn't think you
could get any smaller but browns they have.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
Let's pull up a picture if we can micro string
thongs that have it's all fake. It's faux pubic hair strings.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
I'm searching it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
This is my history from Skims.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
Please, there's twelve to choose from shades of brown, blonde, black, red,
curly or straight pubic hare.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
If you'd like. The thing that I see doesn't have
hair on.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
It is the hair an option, it says, I mean skim. Yeah,
it's micro string thongs with fake pubic hair, you know,
faux faux.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
On the one that I'm looking at. It shows like everything, but.

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
It doesn't because it's sold out already. Oh wow, holy cow,
thirty two bucks each and there's a wait list.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
So you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
Thirty two seems cheap for Kim Kardashian endorsement here.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
Yeah, there are every every single kind is sold out,
all the different types of hairs.

Speaker 3 (01:11:26):
I don't under that, So why not just grow your
own hair out?

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
Maybe it's like, isn't it a Melvin when you do
the fake pub hair?

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
No murking?

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
Yeah, what's the middle? This?

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
This is a.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
World that like I don't know if I've ever heard
a guy asking for this.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
I think this is like for women by women, sold
to women. But no guy I know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
Was like that. Just no, It's like it looks like carpets.
It looks like fuzzy long carpets.

Speaker 3 (01:11:54):
Now, mind you. I don't think that there should be
anyone asking for were someone in their thirties or forties
to have what looks to be zero pubic care, which
is much like someone who is not in their thirties
or forties. But I mean, you do you bro?

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Bro? I am going to post this up on see
it now, so thank you so much?

Speaker 1 (01:12:17):
All right, check it out.

Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
Some Instagram comments very ed geen of you, Kim. Someone
please tell me why these are out of stock? Who
is buying them Kimberly, please show me the market research.
Who asked for this? And seriously, who asked for this?

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
Chewbaka, did you see? I mean you may have this
much trying to interrupt if you did, but did you
see the revelation she had about Kanye West and like
her problems in their relationships the documentary. I don't know
if it's in something that she's involved in now, but
the story that I saw and apologies if you have
this and I'm stealing it, but was that Kanye? Kim

(01:12:57):
Kardashian complains that in the middle of her troubling relationship
with Kanye West, he used to get angry and give
away their Lamborghinis.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
God damn it. I mean that's a real problem in America.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
I was like, this is.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
One of those things you're not gonna get a lot
of sympathy for. You know, people are like, oh, really, Lamborghinis.

Speaker 3 (01:13:18):
You better behave Sean or Courtney's gonna give away all
that sweet studio stuff. Please don't, or you could just
be like Kafed who for some reason out of nowhere,
How long has it been My dude has a new
memoir out and crazy Wild never heard of before revelations

(01:13:40):
of Miss Britney Spears. He claims of the new memoir that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
Brittany you thought you knew?

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
Is that? Is that the one?

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
Yeah, you thought you knew?

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
I see it here.

Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
It drops next Tuesday, So I don't know if there's
a wait list for that. If you want to spend
your money on the k fed memoir or the pubic
care skim Michael, I'm not going to make any decisions
for you.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
It's a short book, I'll have you know. It's only
one hundred and seventy six pages. So he didn't have
too much to say. It all about Brittany. I imagine it,
says Kevin Federline dance her father accidental, his star rows
electrifying stages alongside Pink Destiny's child Bobby Bobby Boobdy from
the heights of global stardom to the pain of public ridicule.

Speaker 3 (01:14:25):
No one remembers your dancing ed peels.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Back the layers of celebrity, fatherhood and survival to reveal
the man behind the mythology. That's what I say to that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
He claims.

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
Britney Spears used to watch their son's sleep while holding
a knife.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
That's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
He also thinks, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
The situation with Brittany is quote racing towards something irreversible.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
Quote racing towards them.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
Yeah, it's a race, but I guess you won't know
what the finished line is and tell you by that book.
We also have a petition and get your signatures in
real quick. They're going to try to just straight up
replace if you're not signed up for the All American
halftime show. By turning point, they just want to replace

(01:15:17):
Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show altogether. And
from what I understand, the NFL typically listens to change
dot org.

Speaker 1 (01:15:26):
Oh, change dot org.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
Okay, that are I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:15:29):
Correct me if I'm wrong, If you wouldn't mind looking
it up. It's just an online petition calling for bad
Bunny to be replaced with George Straight.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
I don't know if this is This has replaced Bad
Bunny in the twenty twenty sixth Super Bowl halftime show.
It's not a lot of supporters. Eleven thousand supporters that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:49):
Is more than as of this writing was forty five
hundred support.

Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
Well, this one doesn't say anything about George Straight. This
has replaced Bad Bunny might be a new one.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
There's so many particles, which one do you listen to?

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
I saw somebody post about this, and I was like,
George Strait would be the most boring halftime show performance.

Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
I got ever thing, put them up on strings or something.

Speaker 12 (01:16:12):
I like.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
I don't care about Bad Bunny because I don't speak
Spanish fluently and I don't know any of his songs,
so I'm not really interested in that. But I I
don't want to watch George Strait sing some ballad country
music either. I want like a performance. I want some
action baby. I mean, there are some songs that have
some some Spanish in them that you've known live in

(01:16:33):
La Vida Loca. Did you not like that song?

Speaker 13 (01:16:35):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
I liked I liked it, Yeah, most of it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
I can understand though it was an English song with
like a little bit of Spanish in it. Then you
understand everything. Kendrick Lamar rapped. No, I didn't understand anything
he said. I don't like Kendrick Lamar too much. That
was in English, wasn't it?

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
It was allegedly in English. I can't tell what he's saying.

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
After time tron aries, can you verify that this was
in English?

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
That is in English, but not a lot of people
could verify that because.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
I've a lot of people seen it actually bomb so
badly in the box office that it is both killing
the franchise and possibly the career of Jared Leto Damn.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
Now, part of me wants to watch it, like, why
was it so bad? Here's the thing, though, they say
this movie is bombing, and I've seen that everywhere. Right,
I'm not coming at you here, I'm just asking a question.

Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
So the Third Tron movie one hundred and eighty million dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
The movie was number one in its opening weekend. Of course,
it only made thirty three or something million dollars, which
is pretty small considering the budget this the audience reviews
two five hundred verified reviews on Rotten Tomatoes eighty seven percent.
I don't know if that's rigged or not, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
What I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:17:43):
I don't know if, like, if there's a little bit
of the budget towards people writing in fake reviews.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
It could be movies do that, so it could be
that that happened.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
But the if the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes aren't that bad,
the box.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
Office was number one. I guess the problem is just
that the budget.

Speaker 3 (01:17:56):
Was you, yeah, big time? It botomed out so hard.
In fact, the reports are now indicating it could finally
end Jared's career as an A list movie star. Oh no,
in a world where Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Benedict Cumberbat
are having a hard time getting lead roles, why would

(01:18:17):
you even go to a person who can't open up
a movie and who ask question marks around him? As
a person asked one top talent manager partner that they
did not name.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
Would we don't think I don't think I've seen a
Jared Leto thing since my so called life, believe it
or not. I don't even know if I've.

Speaker 3 (01:18:33):
Seen jaredis Club. He did very well.

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
I didn't, but I didn't see Dallas Fires Club. I
did see the one. What's what's the famous one with
him and meth and he Oh, you know what I'm
talking about? Right Like, yeah, I'll find it. Jared let
Ewan McGregor as well, is a Requiem for a Dream.
He was in the famous drug movie. Yeah, yeah, he

(01:18:57):
was the star of That. Might be the only Jared
Leto thing that I've actually seen.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
Yeah, I know that one.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
Well, there we have it. I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
I didn't know people called him an a lister. I
mean he's a rock star and a musician and a
list actor. I don't know if he would be on
an a list for me.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
He's not on any list at this point. Besides not
a great movie as of late. What we do have
is a boob tube that, from what I understand, has
zero Jared Leto in it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
Shall we.

If you send one, it will be on the radio,
maybe maybe not. And you can also send an email
tips at the News junkie dot Com. All right, we're

(01:20:15):
just getting started here. We got to get into the
weird twist in that Alec Baldwin story, a new story
about AI that's pretty wild and huge, huge updates, and
jury duty on the way. A lot of stuff to
squeak into the show. But when we come back, we'll
first hit on this because a man is having a
battle over his man cave in twenty twenty five, so

(01:20:37):
still doing that. We'll see what this guy's battle is
all about, and maybe you agree with him, maybe not.
That is coming up next in the news Junkie shouts

(01:21:03):
out real quick to the guy who scared the hell
out of me in my neighborhood yesterday, shouts out, sir
to you. I was out on my walk, I headphones in,
you know, air pods and stuff, and I hear like
some commotion behind me and some guys running up on
me from behind, and he got like his hands in

(01:21:23):
his pockets and I'm like, this is it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:24):
I'm getting stabbed.

Speaker 3 (01:21:27):
Take your headphones out.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
You're like, I'd rather died this, Miley Cyrus too. I
was more worried about, like shuddering in fear, and how
lame that would look, so I kept it cool. I
thought the guy was going to stab me. I swear
to God some of the emails that I get.

Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
I was like, well, finally somebody is somebody making an
attempt here.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
And this guy he saunters up behind me. I think
he stopped his.

Speaker 1 (01:21:48):
Car and got out.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
It's like, are you Sean Watson? And I swear to you, no, lie,
I almost said no. I was almost like, now come,
I'll help you find him. Though he's a you know,
I'll get him too. U super nice guy.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
I took a photo with him and went on my way,
but sir, I almost did grab my pants. You surprised
me very much. Coming up behind me.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
He like doing a walk as well, or just no, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Yeah, drive it through the neighborhood and stopped his car
and got out. And I see somebody stop their car,
get out and start be lining from me like Sean
Watson Are you Sean Watfson.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
I'm like, you've been served, yes, And then I've I've.

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
Put my hand on my pocket and I realized I
forgot my pocket knife. I don't have a knife on me,
I don't have anything, and he's shut He's got both
of his hands down the front of his pants in
his pockets, and I'm like, go, thank god, the guy
can't find the knife to stab me with right now.
It's gonna take this like I'm awkwardly waiting for my
fate here. And then he pulls out his phone and
he's like, can I take a photo with you? And

(01:22:46):
I said yes, of course, sir, Thank you, appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (01:22:49):
There you go, so Sean moving forward, just have your
hands up.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
If you could just say like, uh, it's safe, everything's safe,
and like just approach with some level of caution, it'd
be nice. I'm really saying, up running your way. He
scared me a little bit. It definitely caught me by
support of the one lady said this is allowed. Thank you, Sarah,
appreciate you. And a great selfie. It was a really

(01:23:15):
a top notched selfie that we took together. Let's talk
about this guy who is fighting the man. He's fighting
the authorities. He's in Brevard County and he says that
he's been ordered to stop building his backyard man cave,
to which I say, I haven't seen the wordman cave

(01:23:36):
in a while. I didn't know people were still doing
the whole man cave thing. As an adult, I've learned
that you only really need so many rooms in your
house because there's only so many options for rooms.

Speaker 1 (01:23:49):
Here are the options. Put a child in the room,
which is kind of the intention, right, Put an office
in the room, put a gym in the room, put
I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
Know, like some other specialty pads for tiny little yerkies
who can't seem to go pee.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
You could do that. You could have a pet room.
You could have a movie room. You could have all
of these different things. But I don't need those things,
and I don't need any more rooms. And I realized,
like I probably already have too much house now. But
this guy wants more, and he has been building a
man cave, he says, in his backyard. And from what
I'm looking at, it looks like I guess you could

(01:24:31):
just buy these online. He just bought like a shipping
container and dropped it in his backyard. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (01:24:38):
And with shipping containers, I guess, let's see, maybe they'll give.

Speaker 6 (01:24:43):
Us a too Indy Atlantic Community Corresponding James.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
Barbara, thanks James. For the first time in two years.

Speaker 14 (01:24:49):
I'm with Joe Trasca, the homeowner who built this Joe
for two years we've been calling.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
Oh they even show like the sketch of the man
cave the trasca. Ma, he's got his cool place ready
to go. You wouldn't know, Sabrino. Okay, it's a guy.
I think I'm a Yeah, I guess so right, I
mean I don't what what is a man cave is
gonna have a bar inside of it?

Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
As that was allowed no ladies to sign up at
the entrance. Man Cave.

Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
You say it was supposed to be more like a poolhouse.
That was the original plan.

Speaker 15 (01:25:24):
Yeah, I wanted something off my pool to reuse recyclable
materials and shipping containers, and it turned into a mess.

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
Yeah, a mess that's ongoing apparently, right.

Speaker 6 (01:25:34):
You probably never could have imagined the situation you got yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
Man Cave interview has been solidified in lockdown.

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
Yeah, now we're getting into it. Baby.

Speaker 3 (01:25:43):
This is any reflection of a inside the man Cave street.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
There's there's two things going on. One is he does
have abundant, abundant landscaping around these shipping containers. But the
shipping containers are two shipping containers tall. And I have
to be honest with you it's ugly. It's ugly, it's
not great looking.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
I think that with the the shipping containers, those not watching,
they've cut into it. They put a window on a
door and one plant.

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
There's Yeah, there's a first floor which looks like just
a regular shipping container, and there's a second floor which
has been like kind of cut open. But the shipping
container is pretty tall, right, two of them on top
of each other. This is a pretty big monstrosity that
you have built in your backyard.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
So if you're going to guest house, make a guest house,
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
What I'm saying, Like, let me see we have to
do this. How much money did you really save?

Speaker 1 (01:26:40):
I don't know. I got to get a screenshot of
this for see it now. Put that up in a moment.

Speaker 13 (01:26:44):
This is.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
For some reason, the whole thing looks appearing at County
commission meetings. I want my piece and don't want my
freedom to do what is legally right in my backyard.
The back and forth the county claiming you violated code.

Speaker 12 (01:27:01):
County Code unambiguously prohibits the stacking of shipping containers.

Speaker 14 (01:27:06):
You're still sticking to your stance that you say you
did everything correctly.

Speaker 15 (01:27:09):
Right, Yeah, took a couple thousand dollars to get a
permit and after I.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
Oh, that is a monstrousity in your backyard.

Speaker 3 (01:27:17):
All right, some dollars you could have done something that
looks a lot better.

Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
No, no, no, no, no, that's for just the permits.
He pulled the permits.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
I'll tell you what. I would guess he's probably looking
at like he might have spent like fifty grand on
this thing.

Speaker 1 (01:27:33):
Maybe more.

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
You could buy these like shipping containers that have been
retro fitted into bars, and maybe he did it himself here.
But this is huge, like, this is a huge thing.

Speaker 1 (01:27:42):
Most of the people that do shipping container kind of
work our di wires. I think they want to build
their own thing. I mean, unless you just have all
kinds of shekels to just right now and you go,
I want shipping down. I want somebody to do all
the work for me. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
I think that he might have done some custom work here,
but this guy is now paying a fine every single day,
every single day of this place is open. Do they
go inside? That's all I really care about it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
I want to see show us another angle while I'm
back here, give us a different look. At Okay, now
we're going on the rooftop and take a look up top.
We can go up there.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
I'll put this on see it now in a moment.

Speaker 13 (01:28:17):
Well, Joe, as I expected, since you haven't been able
to work on this in two years.

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
It's pretty bren here.

Speaker 15 (01:28:22):
Yep, it's going to look really nice when it's done.

Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
The worst HGTV show efforts.

Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
I mean, put some background music fan.

Speaker 2 (01:28:30):
Melody man caves. So he says he was wrong, that
he's really upset about this. I'm grabbing the link right now.
I think that what's happened here is this guy just
went to building stuff a little bit too fast. Why
don't you just take the second story off? If that's
what they're telling you, you can't have just get a tour.

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
Of what's inside, and it might I would be sold
a little bit, but I could hold on.

Speaker 1 (01:28:56):
I'll see.

Speaker 2 (01:28:56):
I was going to give up on it, but the
manave container. I'm posting it now so you can see
this for yourself over on the newsjunkie dot com. But
maybe they do go inside. Maybe it's beautiful. Maybe it's
like the most amazing man cave I've ever seen. I'm
your India lanty man Caves.

Speaker 15 (01:29:14):
Until someone really looks at the situation and sees that
as a property owner, I was wrong to ask permission.
I got permission.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
I think there's four.

Speaker 13 (01:29:22):
County code that reads you can't stack shipping containers apply.

Speaker 1 (01:29:25):
Yeah, I don't think I even go inside.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
There's four shipping containers and they're on top of each other,
and uh, if I was a neighbor, i'd probably be
complaining to I'm sorry, Joe, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:29:35):
I want you to have fun. I want you to
enjoy yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
And now we're doing the interview post construction over.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
He's been on hold for two years. This is the
I four I sore of man Caves.

Speaker 3 (01:29:49):
Did you do it himself? Because I can imagine if
it's not a crew of eight people that this would
one take long and you hear that so up against
metal all hours a day.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
Yeah, i'd complain, do I think? Yeah, there's no way
that there wasn't a lot of noise from this construction.
And there's no way he did this alone because it's
just too big to get the shipping containers in as
like a multi person job. You know, they bring that
on a truck and you're gonna have to bring that
over and get it leveled out, and you put two
of them side by side, and then two other shipping

(01:30:23):
containers on top of that, and then you're just like,
this is no different than somebody just building some monstrosity
in their backyard that everybody thinks is ugly.

Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
Because that's probably what your neighbors think, buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
I mean, I hate to say it, build a fun
room inside or something, or you got to get the.

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
Permits before planks on the outside of it. I mean,
there's it's very possible to make this look structurally esthetically pleasing.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
I would also worry if I was a neighbor you
got two shipping containers stacked on each other, we get
another hurricane whipping through. I think you know that whole
thing kind of becoming a giant issue falling over would
be a problem. But we'll see what you think about it.
Send us a dispatch over on thenews junkie dot com.

(01:31:08):
All right, let's see there's the government shutdown continues, just
in case you're wondering. That is now in day fifteen.

Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
I believe you owe me five bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
I do, but technically I won the other bet, which
you know, evens us yeah, canceled us out on that,
and now I don't know, now that we've gone this far,
and everybody's sort of like claiming their ground. Like Democrats
don't want to end this whole government shutdown right now
because they got these no Kings protests coming up and

(01:31:40):
it kind of energizes their base to some extent. They're
asking for more stuff and more funding and like pet
projects that they have, and the Republicans seem willing to
just continue on. I see people like like Jimmy Kimmel
who was saying during his show and doing this stuff

(01:32:00):
where I feel like it's just like very misleading stuff,
sort of like the Charlie Kirk thing, but he was
talking about the government shutdown here' Jimmy.

Speaker 16 (01:32:08):
Kimock also happens to be Columbus slash Indigenous People's Day,
which is a federal holiday. Alough with the government shutdown,
every day now is a federal holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
He's back.

Speaker 16 (01:32:20):
End inside. A majority of Americans blame Republicans for the shutdown.
Republican leaders are still trying to blame Democrats for the shutdown,
even though they control the House, the Senate, and the
White House, so it'd be like Trump blaming January sixth
on Joe Biden, which he actually did do yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
Just to be clear.

Speaker 2 (01:32:38):
And I hear a lot of people saying this stuff.
When you say that Republicans control the House, the Senate,
in the White House, that's true. All of the Republicans
in the House and the Senate have voted for this
budget reconciliation bill to fund the government. Three of the
Democrats in the Senate have voted to keep this, but
that keeps them away from the super majority of sixty votes.

(01:33:02):
It is not a lack of Republicans. They're all voting
for it. Every one of them is voting for You
can't have another Republican vote for it. So Jimmy Kimmel
does this this like now just partisan stuff like this
is what you would hear on MSNBC or something saying
they're still trying to blame Democrats even though they control
the House, Senate, in the White House. The argument you
could make is, hey, the things that Democrats are pushing

(01:33:25):
for are things that are so important that it's worth
a government shutdown going on until the Republicans bend the
knee and give these Democrats, who are the minority in
the House and the Senate what they want, even though
there's no real reason for them to do so. It's
just like, I don't know, I get a little frustrated
hearing people do that. I don't like the amount of
comfortable lying that is happening in the United States of

(01:33:47):
America right now. The amount of brainwashed people, some of
them in my email from time to time, who just
get so wrapped up in this and there's not enough
people willing to tell them the truth out there, people
with a million different reasons just to lie to you.
On the other side of this, I guess, and we
could speculate on this. President Trump says that there has

(01:34:10):
been a wealthy donor who's offered to pay the salaries
of the troops during the government shutdown. Here was this
moment at the White House.

Speaker 12 (01:34:18):
You have the money to pay the troops on a
different fifteen Okay, how you actually have a man who
is a very wealthy person. I know that when I
tell you this, who called a donor a great gentleman,
and he said, if there's any money necessary shortfall for

(01:34:39):
the paying of the troops, that I will pay it,
meaning he will pay.

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
All right, This donor said I'll pay for the US
troops during the government shutdown if there's any problem.

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
Did we just find out that the Department of the
Interior or the Department of Defense War whatever we want
to call it today, is like one of the biggest
employers ever heard.

Speaker 2 (01:34:57):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking when this came out.
I go, that's a lot of money, even just for
a month, just to bring up a AI or something
ste and figure out what what it would cost to
pay every US troop for one month, all right, because
that's what this person said they're gonna do. And he
said wealthy donor. He didn't say it was maybe it's

(01:35:19):
Elon Musk or something, because that's wouldn't I don't know.
He said a wealthy donor called and offered during the shutdown.
And I thought immediately, I was like, this has to
be one of the richest people in the world. Every
every single US troop during a government shutdown for even
one month would be expensive.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
But I want to say.

Speaker 3 (01:35:42):
That I'm going off of AI overview Google so we
can dive deeper.

Speaker 1 (01:35:48):
My gut says like every person in the military, to
fund them for one month might be fifty to one
hundred million.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
Yeah, I'm looking at ten and a half billion.

Speaker 3 (01:36:01):
WHOA thirteen point six billion and nineteen point.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
Five billion for one month?

Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
For one month, so they say based on salaries for
various rolls, a rough average could be between ten to
fifteen thousand per month per service member.

Speaker 2 (01:36:17):
Total active duty troops.

Speaker 3 (01:36:19):
US military has approximately one point three six million active duty.

Speaker 2 (01:36:24):
That's a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:36:26):
So with that many, ten thousand a month would be
thirteen point six billion.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
Whoah, got that for one month?

Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
And if we're doing fifteen thousand dollars a month, that
would be.

Speaker 2 (01:36:40):
Twenty billion dollars ten to twenty billion dollars if you
were paying for one month. If you're that donor and
you threw that up, and then you had to be
on the hook for paying all these soldiers. By the way,
they just said they'd pay whatever the shortfall was, so
you know, like could maybe like it's a little bit less,
but I think you would want the Republicans and the
Democrats to come to some sort of agreement pretty fast.

Speaker 3 (01:37:00):
Let's use those twenty billion and maybe put it towards
whatever would make the government come back.

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
That is a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (01:37:11):
Uh, I also want to throw up and a donor
is just like, yeah, I'll take.

Speaker 14 (01:37:15):
Care of it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
That's not much, Nancy says. Tips to the news Junkie
dot Com, the obvious answer is to do away with
the need for a supermajority. One vote, one person fifty
one should be enough to pass anything anywhere, including state,
local legislation and presidential election, says Nancy. Never. Uh, if
you did that, then that would the issue would be that,
you know, when the other people get in charge, they're

(01:37:37):
just gonna go ham and we're gonna have drastic changes
in the United States of America every time we shift power,
which maybe is not bad. I'm not necessarily against that.
I'm not necessarily against that. I'm more against just like
the false arguments. What was was what Jimmy Kimmel was
laying out, like, you know, the Republicans, you you're in

(01:37:59):
charge of all this stuff, why don't you just get
your stuff together so you could vote this through? And
it's like, okay, they're in charge of Congress. Did any
Republican not vote for it in the House of Representatives, No,
they had plenty of vote in the Senate. Was there
any Republicans who didn't vote for this? I don't believe so,
I think they all voted for it, Like you can't
get any better than one hundred percent of your people
voting for it. So it just seems misleading to me

(01:38:21):
and Nancy saying we should make it so fifty one works,
and you know, we'd probably have that happening like in
states with amendments added to the constitution, if you only
needed fifty one percent. You know, you can make some
arguments for that being good, I think. But thank you, Nancy,
appreciate the email. Quick break. When we come back, we'll
hear from you. We'll hear from Alec Baldwin some new
twists and his crash story. We're actually gonna hear the

(01:38:42):
moment it went down, believe it or not, all the
details rolling in on this. That politician who's been getting
dunked on has some things to say that Katie Porter, lady,
we got jury duty coming up in so much more
and it's all coming up next on the news chunk key.

(01:39:12):
We're gonna get to your your dispatches, your emails, all
that good stuff in just a moment on the show.
But Alec Baldwin had some more footage come out of
this accident that he got into and it's kind of
hilarious because he blamed the dump truck, which I believe
he didn't even say was just a dump truck.

Speaker 3 (01:39:31):
It was like it was the biggest commercial trash truck, right.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
He did indeed say it was the size of a whale,
and he said it cut him off and that's why
he crashed his wife, Hilaria's range, drove into a tree
with his brother on board. His brother was like a
whole by the way, oh, by the way, he's he's
okay too.

Speaker 1 (01:39:56):
I guess right.

Speaker 2 (01:39:57):
He blamed the truck for cutting him off, and the
footage that's come out, uh, I guess proves otherwise.

Speaker 1 (01:40:03):
Let's see.

Speaker 2 (01:40:04):
Lets see what we can learn from.

Speaker 17 (01:40:05):
The exclusive dash cam video showing them over truck. Here
aracter Alec Baldwin crashed his suv on the east end
of New York's Long Island. The video is from the
front facing camera on a commercial truck.

Speaker 2 (01:40:17):
You're seeing the truck here.

Speaker 17 (01:40:19):
It's turning what's believed to be a legal right turn,
and then it slows down.

Speaker 14 (01:40:23):
Seconds later, Baldwin's suv is seen hitting a mailbox and
a tree off to the right side of the truck.

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
The actor and outschool. It goes there's there's the ranger
over over there. It goes around the side. It looked
like he might have been trying to pass this this
garbage truck around the right side, and then the garbage
truck kind of turned right. You see it's in the
it's in the lane right now, mail box and now

(01:40:51):
now see it's gone over onto this like what do
you call that? The it's not the media the side
of the lane like sl emergency. The shoulder is perfect
this big dump truck for the commercial truck. The camera
shows it pulling off out of the shoulder of the road.
I think he might have been trying to pass it
and then it pushed him all the way off the
actor announcement, and then he smashed into a tree.

Speaker 14 (01:41:13):
Clayton on social media that he was driving his wife's
range Rover with his brother's and it opens his door
passenger's seat. You're trying to avoid hitting this truck. So
he veered off the road into the tree.

Speaker 1 (01:41:25):
Yeah, I think that's what happened there.

Speaker 2 (01:41:26):
I think it pulled over into that shoulder area. Now
this video makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:41:31):
He's like, I want to cover all the bases because
we know there's going to be a news story.

Speaker 1 (01:41:36):
Well, because that's illegal, right, you can't pass somebody on
the shoulder.

Speaker 2 (01:41:40):
What's the point of that shoulder? Yeah, for emergencies or
if like there's an emergency vehicles passing, you could pull
over on the shoulder, or if your car has got
like a an issue, you could pull over that truck.
But you're definitely not allowed to like pass somebody by
going on to that shoulder. And it looks to me,
I don't know, I don't know, but maybe that might

(01:42:02):
have been what happened here.

Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
Imagine being that garbage driver and you see that happen,
and then the guy starts to climb out and you're.

Speaker 2 (01:42:09):
Like, oh, you see, brother Alec Baldwin.

Speaker 1 (01:42:13):
That would be the best one since the one that
always sticks with me about this with the Disney Bones.

Speaker 2 (01:42:17):
Guys, Yeah, great, busy bone an apple somebody. For folks
that are new to this show, we did a story
a long, long, long, long long time ago and somebody
was passing out at the wheel because they were having
like a sugar issue or something, and as they passed out,
they kind of crashed and one of the guys from
Bone Thugs in Harmony happened to be there, but was

(01:42:41):
it Busy Bone or.

Speaker 1 (01:42:43):
And he and they explained what was going on. He
went up to the window and he was like, hey,
are you okay? I'm Busy Bone from Bone Thugs and Harmony.
Would you like an apple? And try to give him
an apple?

Speaker 2 (01:42:54):
And I'm dead?

Speaker 3 (01:42:55):
That's what I would think at that moment. I'm like,
this doesn't make any sense. Obviously, I'm on my way
to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:43:00):
Yeah, clearly this is not reality here and when you
find out it is, what a what an awesome moment. Sorry,
we got it wrong. We've been getting this wrong a while.
It was Lazy Bone.

Speaker 2 (01:43:10):
Lazy Bone, another Bone rapper.

Speaker 1 (01:43:15):
Lazy Bone helped a driver suffering from diabetic shock after
his vehicle swerved and crashed. Lazy Bone gave the driver
some apples and oranges to help them recover.

Speaker 3 (01:43:24):
Okay, so we basically got it right. Also, did Lazybone
just die or was a busy.

Speaker 2 (01:43:30):
Bone that just passed Busy Bone? I believe it is alive.

Speaker 1 (01:43:34):
Oh well, I know it's undoubtedly. Crossroads is an absolute
banger song. We got to keep that in mind when
we think about what ends the show today. So let's
see what we got here.

Speaker 2 (01:43:45):
Somebody had mentioned in chat, did you see these released
chats from these young Republicans up in New York where
they were saying all sorts of offensive stuff in a
leaked group chat. I did that. It's gross, you know.
It's the gross like language of very political people that
I've been seeing a lot lately, once again shown to

(01:44:08):
be happening, this time with these young Republicans, like sexist,
racist stuff and gross stuff. I don't have the story
up in front of me. I can get it up,
but it just reminds me. The thing I brought up
was we just had a story like this hang on
Republican uh texts. I'll find this. But one of the

(01:44:32):
texts was I love Hitler. I don't know what the
context was around that. It's a great I love Hitler.
Everybody that votes know is going to the gas chamber.
I'm ready to watch people burn.

Speaker 3 (01:44:46):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:44:48):
If we had ever a leak of this chat, we
would be cooked for real, for real. Wh when do
we start bullying? They love watermelon people. There's a bunch
of this like group tech stuff that came from this
chat from these young GOP leaders, And this is what
happens when you get like a bunch of edge lord

(01:45:08):
types in the world of politics, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:45:11):
And voted there you're saying leaders, as in, they are
representing a group of people that voted them in.

Speaker 2 (01:45:18):
Some of them are They are like members of the
Kansas Young Republicans. One of them will William Hendricks, somebody's
chair of the or was going to be the chair
of the Young Republican National Federation. So these are like
all people that were voted into office or anything. But
it's just like really dark, bad chat going.

Speaker 1 (01:45:41):
On between these folks in this case that was exposed
by Politico, And this is on the heels of this
guy who is running for attorney general.

Speaker 2 (01:45:50):
I don't remember what state that was in, Maybe we
could find that real quick. But who sent all these
text messages that became a scandal there and he was
still supported for office. He did the three people two bullets,
He did the Toby joke. Yeah, he did the Toby
joke from the office.

Speaker 1 (01:46:07):
He was talking about Charlie Kirk and like more people
who disagree with him should be killed.

Speaker 2 (01:46:11):
And I don't know what this is. I don't know
if it's a sign of the times, and how terrible
people who are in politics are. Probably, yes, that's probably
the case. It's nothing that anybody has to defend. We
should learn not to defend stuff like this. You know,
I saw far too many people attempting to defend when
stuff like this happened after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. This

(01:46:33):
is bad. You shouldn't behave like this. You shouldn't be
saying if we ever have a leak of this chat,
we're cooked for real, for real, Okay, we're gonna shouldn't
be talking about them. Their employers have been contacted. Obviously,
they don't have employers like you're thinking of. Probably, I
don't know. I mean, they've certainly been. It doesn't get

(01:46:54):
more called out than having all of your text messages
and an exclusive on the front of Politico. It's not
as if this has gone under the radar. They've certainly
been called out for it. And that's what they're dealing
with today. And I had the clip which, hold on,
let me get back to this because I pulled it
up of the Governor Hochel of New York talking about this.

(01:47:14):
Let's see what she said here.

Speaker 15 (01:47:17):
Political reported on a group chat of about the young Republicans.

Speaker 1 (01:47:20):
I'm wondering your thoughts on that.

Speaker 2 (01:47:22):
We'll see how loud she is. It'll turn it up
if it's not loud.

Speaker 6 (01:47:24):
Just some.

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
In this chat, or do you think that there's a
toxicity around the entire party? Some bad apples?

Speaker 18 (01:47:35):
These are the future the Republican Party.

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
This was so vile.

Speaker 18 (01:47:44):
It is hard to find the words to put into
context that these are people who are part of a
political party, one of two major political parties, and they
believe in gas chambers and rape and discrimination based on
the color of people's skins.

Speaker 2 (01:48:03):
These are racist, sexiest disgusting remarks. All right, So there
she is talking about this. And by the way, when
you see the responses to all this, I think it
always ignores something that happens in all of these quarters,
which is that people are doing edge lord stuff. They
write all these things to rile each other up.

Speaker 1 (01:48:23):
They write all.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
These things to see you who can go further than
the next person. You see these and most discord logs
and stuff. People behave like this, especially in the world
of politics, because politics magnetizes in some pretty gross people,
at least right now. But yeah, it's gross and it's bad.

Speaker 1 (01:48:41):
It's bad.

Speaker 2 (01:48:42):
When anybody does it, so it should be easier for
people to say that. I don't know why it's difficult.
Let's see what we got here from you. Do we
have time or we go oh shoot, we got to
take a break. Let's take a quick break. When we
come back, we'll get to your dispatches and see what's
on your mind. I told you we had an update
from that Katie Porter lady. We'll see how she's surviving
over there with the Apple lanch of clips making her
look bad. And also Jerry Duty. Of course, all of

(01:49:05):
that is coming up next. I'm going to use junk key.
I hate this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:49:25):
I do.

Speaker 2 (01:49:25):
I'm just gonna be honest here. I hate this guy
and I.

Speaker 1 (01:49:28):
Think you might too.

Speaker 2 (01:49:29):
But before Jerry Duty, let's work his story in. There
is a particular man who is all over CNN today
and the guy has the Guinness World Record. Now, all right,
this is the gentleman in question. Just give me one seconds.
The Guinness World Record for something or you're just he does, Yeah,
he has the Guinness World Record for something. He's holding

(01:49:50):
it in front of him. Here, he's holding it in
front of him.

Speaker 1 (01:49:52):
Here.

Speaker 2 (01:49:53):
This is what this guy has in front of him. Uh,
and this is why I think he's annoying. This guy
has the Guinness World Record. I guess what do you
think is that pie we're looking at?

Speaker 1 (01:50:05):
It's not pie.

Speaker 2 (01:50:06):
Describe what we're looking at for people. It's a bunch
of six pages of typed paper like.

Speaker 3 (01:50:13):
Eight and a half by eleven standard print.

Speaker 2 (01:50:18):
That this guy's holding as if he would hold like
a prized fish he caught. Right, he's holding these this
long stretch of all these pieces of paper. They're stapled
end to end length wise.

Speaker 3 (01:50:29):
It's his armspan. So imagine he's six foot something.

Speaker 2 (01:50:35):
What what is on the papers that he's holding? That
is his Guinness World Record? His name it is? That's
his name? Yeah, this is so dumb.

Speaker 1 (01:50:45):
It says this man could tell you his name, but
it would take twenty minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:50:53):
Memorized. Yeah, Lawrence Watkins is the short version of this
guy's name, and he as a six page birth certificate.
That's what he's holding out here. Um, I'll put this
up on the end of see single. He probably is,
but they doesn't mention it here to recite his first
his full name, which is two two hundred and fifty

(01:51:14):
three words in total. It takes about twenty minutes. This
was demonstrated at his first wedding in nineteen ninety one,
where the marriage celebrant like the person who goes ladies
and gentlemen, they bride and they grow.

Speaker 1 (01:51:27):
I would charge I would charge like eight times more
than what I quoted this guy if it took twenty
minutes to recite his name the people at the wedding,
I had to say is full name, and it took
twenty minutes. I'm putting this up right now and see
it now as we talk about it.

Speaker 3 (01:51:41):
But how dope that his house that he's in because
there is like so much that can be judged upon that.

Speaker 1 (01:51:49):
Photograph man with longest name.

Speaker 3 (01:51:51):
It's too much time for that can't find modern bed sheets.

Speaker 2 (01:51:57):
Well, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:51:58):
Maybe this guy was.

Speaker 2 (01:52:01):
The real kicker is did he name himself this or
did his parents give him this name?

Speaker 3 (01:52:06):
No way his parents did that. They were demonstrated hard
to provide for their family.

Speaker 1 (01:52:10):
I'm sure he says.

Speaker 2 (01:52:11):
This was demonstrated his first wedding in nineteen ninety one,
when the marriage celebront pre recorded the exhaustive list. The
six year old retired armed security guard from Auckland, New Zealand,
holds the Guinness World Record for the longest personal name.
They just gave him this and it says born Lawrence
Gregory Watkins. In nineteen sixty five, the young New Zealander

(01:52:32):
was fascinated by Ripley's Believe It or Not shouts out.

Speaker 1 (01:52:35):
Ripley's shouts out if you're out there, we love those people.
They're great.

Speaker 2 (01:52:39):
The interest soon extended to the Guinness Book of World Records,
and he too wanted to be what are the people
in it? So he said, I don't have any particular talents.
He came to the conclusion that he didn't have any talents.
The only thing I can do because he was trying
to break the record by mary somebody and finding a

(01:53:01):
partner that was like the difference, the biggest difference in
height from him. So he was trying to find like
the smallest woman he could find to marry her. He
couldn't find her. It's the only other option was biggest
height difference between spouse is the guys, Uh just wants
world records. Yeah, he just wanted a world record. So

(01:53:21):
he couldn't find a wife that was shorter than three
feet so he couldn't break that one. And now he
made his name and he's thousands of words long.

Speaker 3 (01:53:30):
Yeah, so he now someone can beat him in one
false whoop by just adding one more name to that.

Speaker 2 (01:53:37):
Yes. Also, there's multiple typos in his name because he
it was too long to write, and he did it
with a typewriter and he didn't want to go back
and correct it exactly what. He paid somebody to type
this out.

Speaker 1 (01:53:55):
And they screwed it up, and he's like, screw it.
I'll just believe that nobody's gonna notice, nobody cares.

Speaker 2 (01:54:00):
So there you go. He's got two thousand plus names
in his name. It takes them twenty minutes to say his.

Speaker 3 (01:54:06):
Whole name, and he still has to tell every new
person he meets.

Speaker 2 (01:54:09):
Yeah, and when you go over his house, this is what.
This is how it's gonna go.

Speaker 3 (01:54:12):
You're gonna one of that guy's house, no way, and.

Speaker 2 (01:54:16):
You're gonna say, look, Lawrence, Lawrence, are you here. I'm
the cable guy, cable guy.

Speaker 3 (01:54:20):
I'm not answering the door until you say my full name.

Speaker 2 (01:54:22):
Lawrence is gonna go, oh, come on in and uh
take a seat, and Lawrence is gonna pull out this
birth certificate. That's what he's going to do every single
person that comes to the door.

Speaker 3 (01:54:31):
I mean that copy, but he also has it framed
on his wall in the bathroom, and damn broom.

Speaker 1 (01:54:39):
Is a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:54:40):
Here's accomplishment.

Speaker 1 (01:54:43):
I guess you should have found the really short wife.

Speaker 2 (01:54:45):
Dude with your lives, it's not that hard. I saw
when we went to Halloween hort Knights. I saw a
lesbian couple. Cool. They were both under three feet tall.

Speaker 1 (01:54:59):
What you never seen anything like that in my life? No.
I have this this uncanny ability to look at things
and guess.

Speaker 2 (01:55:06):
How how tall they are, like kid scissors.

Speaker 1 (01:55:09):
Uh, it's you know, it's just like looking at the
world around they're about They were like about three feet tall.

Speaker 2 (01:55:16):
That's fascinating walking together. And I thought to myself, all
of these people bitching at this themed part about walking,
and for for a person who's less than three feet tall,
like both of these ladies who are with each other were,
it's so much more walking for them. This is like
Lord of the Rings for these ladies. And they were

(01:55:37):
like they weren't even complaining or anything. They were just
walking all this distance.

Speaker 1 (01:55:41):
Very very great when you're taking a puppy out on
a walk and it's that seems much longer for them,
like little leggs, you know, so it's it's harder to do,
but they were out there doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:55:50):
So shouts out to those.

Speaker 1 (01:55:51):
Ladies if they're out there something.

Speaker 2 (01:55:54):
No, no, do that. It's rude.

Speaker 1 (01:55:56):
Taking pictures of.

Speaker 2 (01:55:57):
People like that.

Speaker 3 (01:55:58):
May ask were they.

Speaker 2 (01:56:01):
Obviously little people?

Speaker 3 (01:56:03):
But you could tell when someone has dwarf ism first
as someone who is.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
Might still be legally little person. They had whatever makes
it more proportional, so they looked like just very small people.
Now the limbs were like a little off, so you
could tell that there was like some level of deformity
going on. But they were able to get around really good.
And they were both in like their little leather outfits,

(01:56:32):
all dressed up for the Halloween Hornites thing, and it
just out there doing their thing and enjoined the world.
And they didn't have to get real long names.

Speaker 1 (01:56:39):
But they probably could be in the Guinness Book of
World Records.

Speaker 2 (01:56:41):
I would think, I don't know, but I would think,
here we go, let's do it. Let's do jury duty.
Court is now in session, so put your.

Speaker 11 (01:56:48):
Phone down and pay attention before we call the bailiff
over to whip your ass.

Speaker 2 (01:56:52):
You're knowing jury duty with the news junkie. Jury duty
brought to you by the one the only Mo de
wit of the DeWitt Law Firm. Injured on the go,
Just CALLMO eight hundred, CALLMO eight hundred Calmo, or go
to just CALLMO dot com. There's only one name in that.
How about that.

Speaker 1 (01:57:09):
You don't have to have this string of two thousand
of them, just one. It's MO eight hundred, Calmo eight
hundred Calmo.

Speaker 2 (01:57:16):
Or just CALLMO dot com. Somebody says, there's no way
that guy knows his whole name, one hundred percent guaranteed
he doesn't know his own name, absolutely right percent right, Yes,
for sure, there's no question about that at all. A
story in jury duty very quickly. An appeals court has
just backed a Michigan school for banning a T shirt

(01:57:38):
for one of their students. The t shirt that escalated
to this level and the court's deciding on this. One
of the students wanted to wear a Let's Go Brandon shirt.
The school said no, we don't allow it, and they
said no, this is my freedom of speech and expression,
and brought it all the way up to this appeals court,

(01:57:59):
who told what I would have guess would have happened anyhow.
You can have your freedom of speech, you can have
your freedom of expression, but when you're a kid at
a school, you gotta follow the rules of the school.

Speaker 1 (01:58:10):
They're going to have a.

Speaker 2 (01:58:11):
Dress code sometimes. And if I was in charge of
a school, I would say, hey, no gang colors, no
curse words on your shirts, nothing that can be construed
as offensive on your shirts. And by the way, no
politics on your shirts. All right, just none of it
at the school would be better, I think, And that's

(01:58:34):
probably the right decision by the corp. But tell us
what you think if you agree or disagree at thenewsjunkie
dot com. Lots of reactions coming up next. I gotta
get into these clips. We'll talk to what we hear
from Katie Porter, who's had all those videos dumped on
her and now she's responding. But is she winning over
anybody or does she still look like a bitch? We'll
find out together. That's coming up next in the news

(01:58:54):
junk Kie. You could join the show with your dispatches
and emails. You know where to send them. Please do

(01:59:16):
go over to the website at the Neewsjunkie dot Com.
I've always said on this show, at least as of
the last like ten years or so, that we find
ourselves stuck in this portion of life, where as Louis
Ck famously said in a bit, everything is amazing and
nobody seems to care and people just complain about stuff,
even though we are not only in the midst of

(01:59:37):
huge breakthroughs, like things are crown breaking around us, and
it's so interesting and it's so cool, and it's such
a it's a thing that's away from politics that I
think people should really agree on. And I'll give you
an example of exactly what I'm talking about in a
second here. But when I was younger, there were only
so many great leaps forward, and the beginning of the Internet,

(01:59:58):
I have to tell you, was not very exciting. It
wasn't very exciting. It was like, ooh, did you go
on Prodigy? Did you did you dial up onto compu Serve.

Speaker 1 (02:00:08):
I think it's easier to say that in hindsight, but
the beginning of the Internet, when you have.

Speaker 2 (02:00:12):
Nothing else showing it was kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (02:00:15):
What do you consider the beginning of the Internet, Because
I'm talking.

Speaker 2 (02:00:17):
About like bulletin boards and those early dial up services
not even serve. Yeah, what was not even AOL was
like the next big phase. When AOL came out, it
was like, oh, all right, this is different. Now changer.
We're connected here and we can chat with each other
an instant message and an email and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (02:00:39):
Okay, I started to go to like the gaming websites.
I mean, I'll just speak of my experience as a
being a kid and knowing what the Internet was, and
it wasn't the forwarding emails. I was like, scroll all
the way down and if you don't forward this, your
mom dies or those websites like it wasn't strike gently.
It was another one that you could play all these

(02:01:02):
really cool games mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (02:01:04):
And then you go to school and you tell everybody
about it. Yeah, I mean that's still quite a ways
after what I'm talking about. I'm talking about when this
is before you were alive.

Speaker 1 (02:01:14):
I think most of them with.

Speaker 2 (02:01:16):
BOD modems and stuff, not like not even fifty six K,
which was the top end of people on AOL and stuff.
I think beginning of the Internet wasn't really exciting. I
think my first.

Speaker 1 (02:01:25):
Modem was twenty four hundred BOD. I don't think I
had the three hundred. I remember reading about that and going, well,
that's just not enough.

Speaker 2 (02:01:32):
Bod.

Speaker 3 (02:01:32):
How old were you when you were reading up on bods?
And I'm not coming at you.

Speaker 2 (02:01:37):
I'm curious. Well, guess what both of our fathers worked
for IBM. I don't know if that plays into it.
But I did the same thing Ceilian did, Like I
built computers, it stuff when I was little. See, my
dad didn't let us touch it stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:01:47):
It's like you will once this is done, be it
allocated this amount of time, and you share with the
other siblings.

Speaker 2 (02:01:54):
Right and then.

Speaker 1 (02:01:55):
But when our first online service was compu Serve, I
don't think there were chat rooms back then or now
in that service. I think there was email, but I think,
if I remember correctly, wasn't your CompuServe username just a
string of numbers. There was stuff like listnet and usenet,

(02:02:17):
and there was a bunch of text based things where
people could like put messages and other people could respond
to the messages.

Speaker 2 (02:02:23):
But it wasn't exciting. That was the beginning.

Speaker 1 (02:02:26):
It was the beginning of all of this.

Speaker 2 (02:02:27):
And then most of you probably remember America Online and
the Internet exploding into most households, and then you were
going on your favorite band's website, and then you were
purchasing things online. This was unheard of. Your parents thought
this was so dangerous.

Speaker 1 (02:02:42):
Oh yeah, and then we made the one great leap
that I remembered when I was little was we jumped
from dial up Internet, which was the whole thing, to
digital subscriber lines or dsls, and all of a sudden,
it was a game changer.

Speaker 2 (02:03:00):
It was like, whoa, you could download a movie rather quickly.
Uh huh, So the websites could be much more graphics
intensive because the internet is fast. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:03:09):
My dad's friend was telling me, you know, they're they're
developing new modems that run over your cable line instead
of your phone line, and you'll be able to get
a megabyte in eight seconds.

Speaker 2 (02:03:19):
And I was like, that is insane. Look at us now.

Speaker 1 (02:03:23):
And now I get like, I can get up to eight, ten,
twelve megabytes per second, and if it's any slower, You're like,
what is this?

Speaker 2 (02:03:30):
Yeah, I'm going somewhere with all of this on a
journey here, and I want to take it back to
a clip that I've played a couple of times on
the show. But I just love it and I and
it perfectly exemplifies exactly what I'm talking about. Right now,
we are going through it. Things are so rapidly accelerating,
and so many people either don't understand or understand and

(02:03:53):
are scared and are not just just just grab a
hold and go for the ride that we are on
right now. I'm going to bring back to when I
was thirteen years old. Ah, there's nineteen forty seven, nineteen
ninety four. This is the Today Show, and it's one
of the famous clips like this, and I've played this
before in the show, but for those of you who

(02:04:13):
haven't heard, this was nineteen ninety four. I got a
fifty six pass. I wasn't prepared to translate that as
host to that little tease.

Speaker 13 (02:04:21):
Oh that little mark with the a gumbled ring around it.
At see, that's what I said, case that she thought
it was about.

Speaker 2 (02:04:29):
Yeah, Oh, they don't know what the internet is at
this point. Okay, they didn't know what an AT symbol was.
They don't know what when any of this is. This
was nineteen ninety four. But I've never heard it around.

Speaker 13 (02:04:39):
I've never heard it said. I don't seen the mark,
but never heard it said. And then it sounded stupid
what I said, violence at NBC.

Speaker 2 (02:04:46):
Hey, I heard you around.

Speaker 13 (02:04:49):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:04:49):
So this was like the first time dress they had
ever given out email addresses. And it says internet address
violence at a NBC ge dot com, which you know,
there's so many things like even the act symbol is
not the same as it was back inside a circle IV.
We were you supposed to send over to this internet address?

(02:05:14):
The four people on the Internet at this time were
supposed to send violence some some some example of violence.
I guess.

Speaker 1 (02:05:22):
I wonder if the font that was being generated here
didn't have a character for that, so they had to
just wing it.

Speaker 2 (02:05:30):
Without a doubt.

Speaker 3 (02:05:31):
And then look up top and there is a graphic
called America the Violent and they paid an artist, like
actual money to create that and put it up for
them to use digitally.

Speaker 2 (02:05:46):
Nineteen ninety four. You didn't have all the software to
do this for you, so a lot of it still
had to be done. But they were struggling was with
what is the internet violence at nbcge com? I mean,
what Alison should know? You wouldn't say the dots. Katie
Kirk there with a line for the Times, what is
internet anyway?

Speaker 1 (02:06:08):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (02:06:08):
That was gumblet is that massive computer network, the one
that's becoming really big.

Speaker 2 (02:06:14):
Now, what do you mean that's big? How do you
mean like mail?

Speaker 3 (02:06:19):
No, A lot of people use it and communicate it.

Speaker 2 (02:06:21):
I guess they can communicate with NBC writers and producers. Allison,
can you explain what internet is? Alison? So?

Speaker 1 (02:06:30):
All right?

Speaker 2 (02:06:31):
What is internet? Anyway?

Speaker 1 (02:06:32):
Right?

Speaker 2 (02:06:32):
Like what this was nineteen ninety four, everybody, the year
was nineteen ninety four. Kurt Cobain was probably rocking the world,
and a grunge was taking over in the United States
of America, and all of these things were happening. And
this just being thirty short years ago brings you to
this week the Today Show, and again people just kind

(02:06:54):
of take all this for granted. There has been such
a massive breakthrough in internet on airplane. The Today Show
did a live cut in with somebody on a flight,
cruising along on a plane and the Wi Fi is
so good.

Speaker 1 (02:07:08):
That's against the rules though, you're not supposed to do
any video chats or calls.

Speaker 2 (02:07:13):
That's what they did here. This is how this went down.

Speaker 19 (02:07:15):
NBC's Tom Costello is joining us live from a United
plane thirty thousand feet in the air Tom good morning.
You see you already got a world exclusive with the sunrise,
and your signal looks pretty good.

Speaker 6 (02:07:26):
Yeah, you know, everybody's telling them like, this is rock solid,
and we think this is the first live shot ever
on a commercial airliner using starlink, at least for a
commercial television station. So let me show you how cool
this is. First of all, we are right now over
Wisconsin and the sun.

Speaker 1 (02:07:44):
I mean we went from what is internet anyway to
live streaming four K no hesitation from a United flight
perfectly shot.

Speaker 3 (02:07:55):
Yeah, there, you can hear them. Here's something crazy air
Force one. We can hear him perfectly. Yeah, his audio
is better use that microphone, shall We may be some.

Speaker 2 (02:08:09):
Of the technology that they're trying to debut here, but
this dude is on a flight thirty thousand feet up
on a United flight live on the today. He's using
the live view. I think he might be.

Speaker 3 (02:08:19):
They won't let passengers.

Speaker 1 (02:08:22):
Do that the rules on most airlines. It's against the
rules of your WiFi use. And I think they even starlink.
I think they even throttle your usage. Well, I mean,
I don't know if he's using the airlines WiFi or
if he brought his own starlink right, right, But it
doesn't mean that the Airfin airplane's WiFi doesn't come from

(02:08:44):
starlink right.

Speaker 2 (02:08:45):
So, like he mentions it here, I think it's the
reason why he's on the United flight because I think
they have like a partnership. Is that a beautiful shot
or one?

Speaker 6 (02:08:53):
Let me show you how solid our signal is, because
this laptop here has all of the beads coming into
NBC News.

Speaker 2 (02:09:00):
Oh, first of all, that's cool.

Speaker 1 (02:09:01):
Yeah, this is behind the scenes showing all the feeds.

Speaker 2 (02:09:07):
They never showed this, all the feeds that are coming
into NBC on this software that they're looking through here,
every one of.

Speaker 6 (02:09:15):
These feeds right now, all of the shots rock solid
live view. You're right, my iPad up over here, and
I've been streaming.

Speaker 2 (02:09:21):
Let me hit it.

Speaker 6 (02:09:22):
I've been streaming the Today Show replay yesterday.

Speaker 1 (02:09:25):
So she's watching the Today Show live streaming on the
plane to the Today Show in perfect quality, virtually no delay.

Speaker 2 (02:09:36):
What a time to be alive, everybody.

Speaker 3 (02:09:39):
Oh my god, they did the whole seven thirty seven
with nobody in it.

Speaker 2 (02:09:44):
Just for that. There's nobody in this.

Speaker 1 (02:09:46):
Yeah, they got they've got a flight with no one
on it, which probably if they're gonna go live on TV,
is probably for the best.

Speaker 2 (02:09:52):
I don't want to have some paint on that plane.
They don't want competition on the Wi Fi network, I
don't think. But that's what they were doing. And that's
so crazy to me to think that that's how far
everything has come. That is thirty years, folks. And I
will tell you from the experience of somebody who has
been very online, worked in the online worlds, worked in

(02:10:13):
the Internet and websites and content and all of these
different things. For a very very long time, it was slow,
and it was stagnant in a lot of periods of time,
and it felt like you weren't going to get a
great leap ahead, and it felt like we weren't going
to get to fiber, and we weren't going to get
to this, and we were't going to get to that,
and we were going to get to satellite speeds like this.
But now it is fast and all at once. It

(02:10:38):
is happening fast and all at once. I'll remind you
the first version of chat GPT's video generation was really
kind of funny. That was only a year ago. The
second version is believable, not just to your grandmother anymore,
but your friends, and your sister and your brother, maybe
even your kids. And the next version of the next

(02:10:58):
version of the next version. In all this stuff is
only going to get more insane, more fast, more convincing.
We're gonna have more people split apart because they're gonna
be in their own ideological bubbles. It'll be so hard
to get through to somebody because they'll have different worlds
that they're living in. We'll have all the good and
the bad and the ugly that comes from this. But

(02:11:18):
what a time to be alive. Tony are Man, I.

Speaker 1 (02:11:25):
Guess so, I hope, I hope.

Speaker 2 (02:11:26):
Tony on YouTube says you should bring up starlink direct
to phone Internet. I have it on my Galaxy S
twenty four Ultra and it was crazy being able to
watch live streams in the middle of the Yosemite Wilderness.
He says, yeah, I mean you used to have like
there still is to this day a few people off
the beaten path who don't have access to local internet providers.

(02:11:50):
Those people were for so long relegated to things like
direct TV Internet you might not even have known that
they've had that or other satellite internet providers that were
basically like maybe as fast as an ISDN line, which
is like two fifty six K modems.

Speaker 1 (02:12:06):
I don't know about DirecTV for that because direct TV
I've mentioned before, the down link came from DirecTV from
the satellite, but there was no up upwards communication.

Speaker 3 (02:12:19):
So we also someone who brought internet to a town
within the last five years.

Speaker 2 (02:12:24):
Like they just did not have it. Yeah, it's it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (02:12:29):
So you still had you still had to dial up,
like you still had to have a motem and dial
in if you had direct TV.

Speaker 2 (02:12:35):
So that shows you what starlink has done, is what
you're saying, then, I mean, yeah, and that that is
such a big, big thing, what an accomplishment for human
con All right, we'll have a bunch more things. I
didn't get through all these clips that I was talking
about in the grab bag segment because we're up against it,
but I do want to and we'll work them in.

Speaker 1 (02:12:53):
Next.

Speaker 2 (02:12:53):
We got to talk about this Katie Porter clip. There's
a woman who went to this Marshall store and all
hell broke loose. I'll actually give you the news story
on that when we come back, because it's absolutely insane
and it's coming up next on the news junk Kie.

(02:13:25):
The news just broke not too long ago that apparently
the Secretary of Defense aka the Secretary of War. I
guess now Pete Eggseth that there was a problem with
his plane. There was an emergency and his flight had
to like have an emergency landing and turn around and
all kinds of stuff, and talking about that, somebody on
YouTube says, Pete Hegseth has landed safely dot dot dot bummer.

(02:13:48):
I think that's like a perfect example of where a
lot of people are at politically, the political people right
where they're at where just like those group chats, nobody cares.
Everybody's being edge lords about everything. Everybody's like I don't
care if other people die if they disagree with me.
It's a bummer that, you know, the Secretary of Defense
is playing landed and he didn't die. Like these kind

(02:14:09):
of things have become more mainstream. It used to be
that you said that stuff and people went after you.
Now everybody just kind of sucks. Everybody just sucks, and
everybody posts a lot of terrible stuff, and people forget
that these aren't just characters on your screen. It's not
like some work of fiction. They're human beings. And if
you know that and still don't care, then I don't know.
I mean, I just don't even know what to tell you.

Speaker 1 (02:14:30):
Do you think the edge lord thing people that do
that as a joke mean it or or is there
a difference? I don't think, all right, And we may
very well disagree on this. If some of these young
Republicans or whatever are saying I'm a Nazi in some
chat or whatever it was that they said, I don't

(02:14:52):
think that they actually feel.

Speaker 2 (02:14:53):
That way, correct. I think that they're being edge lords
and they're trying to one up each other in these
stupid online games. I don't think the person that's that
I love Hitler like actually you know loves. If they do,
they have a bigger problem. But I think a lot
of times it's the nature of online discourse and comments
and chat. The line, yeah, of course, an online group chat,

(02:15:15):
and the line between what people say in real life
and what they say on social media or in text
messages or you know whatever. It just seems very obvious
to me. If it's not obvious to you, I don't know,
But to me, it seems very obvious that people are
okay with much more radical conversations. All of a sudden,

(02:15:36):
they're okay with people not apologizing over everything. It's a
war as to who can be the least humane, decent
individual in all of politics. And if you think it's
just the other guys, I'm here to tell you, and
that's what I'll continue telling you every single day that
I have a microphone. You're wrong. You're wrong, and you

(02:15:57):
don't have to take the hits when it comes to
somebody on your side. It should be very easy for
people to be like, hey, that's bad. People shouldn't do
it right, And then it should be very.

Speaker 1 (02:16:05):
Easy for you to go like and don't go like, ah,
it's just a joke or just dug like I get it,
you know, I get it, but sometimes we accept it.
Sometimes we don't.

Speaker 2 (02:16:15):
Right, Like, this is a larger problem where people sort
of have have boiled down to this point where they're
just mean everywhere and they hate each other over politics.
Your life is about so much more than politics, Okay,
it really is. I care enough about that for you. Meanwhile,
a couple other things, as I said, JD. Vance, the

(02:16:36):
Vice President of the United States of America, is going
to be hosting one of those turning points change my
Mind events at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, which
they may need it. Mississippi, the dumbest state, the absolute
dumbest state, the low IQ Mississippi, according to the viral
graphic that we discussed this week, Mississippi, I love you still,

(02:16:59):
but you know they think you're dumb. But the University
of Mississippi and Oxford, JD. Evans, the vice president, is
going to be going there to honor Charlie Kirk on
October twenty ninth. So in a couple of weeks and
somebody said, why don't they just keep it a secret
until the end, until they like do the event. I don't.
I don't think that's the thing. I think what they're yeah,

(02:17:20):
they're they're trying to draw big crowds here. They're trying
to put a thumb in the face of people who
kill people that they disagree with.

Speaker 1 (02:17:27):
You don't try to have a successful event and keep
it a secret. No, Usually the one of the keystones
of a successful event is you know, telling people the
event is going to happen.

Speaker 2 (02:17:40):
Some people are saying that this is grand standing, which
it is, but you know it seems like a good
enough cause to grandstand for. Some people are saying, shouldn't
the vice president have better things to do? Fair? I mean,
but it's an event that they're going to be doing,
and we'll keep an eye on it and see what happens.

Speaker 1 (02:17:56):
Now, do you think he'll be listening to I want
it that way or or one time by Justin Bieber
on the way or is that strictly for his making
dinner playlist?

Speaker 2 (02:18:06):
Yeah, that's not gonna fire you up. You need something
like to fire you up before debate, chainsmokers or something. Man,
you need something like that. No, No, you need like
you need some drums for me. I would just want
a completely totally clear head. Silence would be what I wanted.
I would try to completely clear my cluttered mind. But

(02:18:26):
you know, teach the room. We'll see what happens with
this event. I wish him the best. I hope nobody
kills anybody, because I happen to be such a radical,
crazy person.

Speaker 1 (02:18:33):
That I think that's bad.

Speaker 2 (02:18:35):
Here I am over to New Jersey, New Jersey, everybody
and a Marshall's store. Ain't nothing wrong with the Marshalls.
Don't let them tell you you're a cheap Oh weirdo
for going to Marshalls. There's great deals there. They've got
some really good stuff and I've even been myself. But
at this Marshals, things went real wild, real fast, and

(02:18:57):
a woman bought something or grabs thing from the store
and then used it to attack another customer. Here's what
happened inside this Marshal's. Listen it busy.

Speaker 20 (02:19:05):
Marshall's location, but on Saturday, patients ran out for one
woman who ended up being arrested Carney police. A twenty
five year old Amber Thompson of Newark was angered by
another customer whom she decided was taking too long in
the checkout line.

Speaker 2 (02:19:19):
Oh that'll do it.

Speaker 1 (02:19:20):
That'll piss people off taking too long in the checkout mind,
she gets mad, so what she do?

Speaker 20 (02:19:26):
Threatened to harm the shopper Once they got outside, Well police,
A Thompson bought a set of knives, took one out
of the packaging, chased the shopper down, and stabbed her
several times.

Speaker 1 (02:19:38):
Unhinged Lunatech Marshals Man't.

Speaker 6 (02:19:45):
I like it?

Speaker 1 (02:19:45):
They made it sound like she went through with the purchase. She' said,
Oh yeah, you want to.

Speaker 2 (02:19:49):
Talk smack say in my receipt, goes back and finds
the knife set up, goes and purchases the knife, and
then chases after this person and stabs them with the
knife they just bought at the at the Marshalls.

Speaker 1 (02:20:02):
It's unhinged out there.

Speaker 2 (02:20:03):
Fine.

Speaker 20 (02:20:04):
The reason the suspect was found back inside the Marshalls
police say she was hiding in a bathroom, where a
bloody knife was also found. The speak too many shoppers
as they exited the store.

Speaker 2 (02:20:14):
I didn't make it for something.

Speaker 20 (02:20:17):
Whether or not there should be more security here, especially
after the stabbing. Others say many people are simply on
edge and acting.

Speaker 2 (02:20:25):
Yeah, acting original. They're all crazy out there.

Speaker 1 (02:20:28):
They're all crazy. You know where. This doesn't happen Japan.
Once again, Japan.

Speaker 2 (02:20:32):
It doesn't happen to the person that shame yelled via
dispatch at Sabrina early for not playing the Japan Japan.
It's not that she doesn't have the Japan clip.

Speaker 1 (02:20:42):
That is that is me.

Speaker 2 (02:20:44):
So usually I'm talking and I'm on a completely different thing,
and then I have to like pop up that and
search for it. The Japan clip.

Speaker 3 (02:20:51):
I have not received it, but I think it is
so ingrained in my head now I cannot be the
only one where I hear Japan.

Speaker 2 (02:21:00):
Hear that clip in my head people do four times
than I, And it's like, why why only some of
the Japan's Why not all of the Japan's?

Speaker 1 (02:21:09):
And then I would just be sitting here with the
Japan in front of me the whole time, over and
over and over. That's a lot. And then if somebody
talks about like mosquitos, like mosquitoes, it's a lot to
do with all that.

Speaker 2 (02:21:22):
I don't like those mosquitoes. I never did. There, we go,
all right, what else do we have here? Oh, here's
Katie Porter about all of these controversial videos that have
come out about her. I don't know if you guys
know this.

Speaker 1 (02:21:32):
I checked in on this.

Speaker 2 (02:21:34):
She was polling number one for the governor race. She
was before all this came out. Yeah, yeah, she was
pulling number one for the governor's race. Not in Japan, Japan.
Still out of delay.

Speaker 1 (02:21:52):
Say, let's go to my commercial and let's see what
Katie Porter says. Let's listen to it.

Speaker 10 (02:21:57):
Should California voters feel confident that there aren't any more
Katie Porter videos out there?

Speaker 21 (02:22:05):
Well, what I know is that I could have done
better in those moments. I'm going to be focused on
earning their votes and earning their trust. That's true in
every election I've I've only ever had tough elections. So
I'm absolutely aware that I'm going to have to show
them I'm going to have to answer every question. I'm
glad I got to continue that interview and that interview
and that's all her questions, and that's what I'm going

(02:22:25):
to continue to do to show she has big lunch ladies.

Speaker 3 (02:22:28):
It reminds me of a scary aunt, you know, and
I love my aunt very much, not like that, but
that's like it's there's something to it, like you do
not want to step out of line in front of
Katie Porter.

Speaker 2 (02:22:42):
She reminds me of this woman I met one time.
I think I mentioned this a long long time ago,
who was very into the secret, that whole like philosophy,
the secret where.

Speaker 1 (02:22:55):
No no, no, no, no no. This was just I
knew in.

Speaker 2 (02:22:58):
West Palm Beach. Then it was like a radio event
or something that we were at a house where she
was there. It was not somebody I dated that It
was into the secret. I don't believe. But the running
that I'm talking about was with somebody who somehow was
connected to the radio station, and she was so into
the secret and I was like, oh, really you're into that.
She goes, yeah, yeah, well you don't believe in it.
I was like, no, I don't think that's real. I

(02:23:20):
don't buy the secret, and she switched into this other mode,
which was like this lady, oh god, I'm sorry. Early
interactions with people who can't bear to have somebody disagree
with them and early flare ups on that, and she
kind of gives me those vibes.

Speaker 1 (02:23:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:23:38):
And I know some people will say, like, well, if
Katie Porter was a guy and all these viral videos
of her snapping at people and yelling about the lights,
people wouldn't be shot as angry about it, or people
wouldn't be mocking her as much. I don't know they
would call the guy a dick. I think they would, Yeah,
I think that we just use bitch for women and

(02:23:59):
dick for men, and and I think they would call
him out if there was somebody like that.

Speaker 1 (02:24:05):
Was it Christian Bale that was secretly recorded just like
screaming and berating everybody on set on the movie set
that one time.

Speaker 2 (02:24:15):
Yeah, there's been a couple of these, I know, I
know we're talk about. There was one where he's like,
get out of the light, So get out of the spotlight.

Speaker 1 (02:24:25):
Got super angry, which sometimes is somebody being passionate, and
sometimes the right, sometimes the right. Like I've yelled at
people for randomly walking into the studios and starting to
talk when open mics were there, and that's because I'm passionate.

Speaker 2 (02:24:40):
I put a lot of work into what I do.
I try to create great content every single day, and
if somebody is trying to let the air out of
the tires, I'll get mad and I'll fight for what
I think is right, and I'll say, what the hell
are you doing? I want that person to think about
it next time. I don't want them to screw it up.
I don't. I think there's a difference between that and
what we're here because now there's like a lot of

(02:25:03):
videos of her yelling at her employees, the people who
are staff members, and a lot of those staff members
I think were behind the leaking of these videos. Yeah,
there are staff members did not like her, and there
they're trying some of them, at least maybe there's some

(02:25:25):
staff members that are really happy with her, but some
of them at least seem like they don't want her
to win this election.

Speaker 1 (02:25:32):
I think that's what's going on here.

Speaker 2 (02:25:33):
It's another finished appoint in Californians.

Speaker 21 (02:25:35):
Not only that I understand their problems, but that I
have the will and the strength of character to actually
get something done about them.

Speaker 10 (02:25:42):
But not just the CBS interview, the interview with the staffer.
Can voters be confident that there won't be another one
of those videos that's going to come to light.

Speaker 21 (02:25:51):
What I do know is that I could have done
better in that situation. Nikki. I'm going to be honest
with you. I know that that video, and that video
was several years ago.

Speaker 2 (02:26:04):
Nicky, there's about to be another video right now.

Speaker 1 (02:26:06):
If you don't want job, Nicky is trying to start
in part two, Nicky wants it.

Speaker 2 (02:26:11):
Nicky wants the spot in the sequel.

Speaker 3 (02:26:13):
I mean, you can either be honest, you can danger
on the question, or you can go that's AI.

Speaker 2 (02:26:19):
Yeah, might as well. I'll believe you. All right, Let's
take a quick break. When we come back, we will
get to you your final dispatches. We'll get to any
emails that we have at the end. Here stories that
didn't make the cut. And of course today I learned
to wrap everything up for a Wednesday that is coming
up next in the news. Chunk key. All right, let's

(02:26:53):
see what we have on the way out here. How
much time we got to Well, we don't have much time.
The AI breakthrough I talked about not necessarily a good one,
but Sam Altman, the CEO of open Ai, says open
Ai will soon allow erotica for chat GPT users who
verify their age on the platform. If you verify that
you are over eighteen, you will be able to get

(02:27:15):
freaky with the chatbot on chat gpt, like and forth. Huh,
you have type in sexy with each other.

Speaker 1 (02:27:23):
You'll be able to like unlock adult mode if you
confirm that you're an adult with the platform on how
adult it gets?

Speaker 2 (02:27:31):
Only one way to find out sea Len I want
to find out. I don't want to find out.

Speaker 1 (02:27:35):
Yeah, you got to say, dear diary, you know, chat GPT.
Let's get sexy and see how see if it will
get explicit.

Speaker 3 (02:27:45):
But then I go, do you want me to be
a little bit more idea or something that's like bullet
points that you could use.

Speaker 2 (02:27:50):
Later on there's got to be guardrails.

Speaker 1 (02:27:52):
Right If you said, I want you to pretend your
insert illegal thing.

Speaker 3 (02:27:56):
Here, I feel like mine would be so thrown off
by me asking something like that. It's like you usually
like to do less and trying to figure out stage
plot measure.

Speaker 2 (02:28:06):
You would try to get chat GPT to lay still
like a doll, which I guess is your thing. I mean,
that's fine, everybody's got their own thing. I know you're
circling back to something, but I just don't remember what
it was.

Speaker 1 (02:28:18):
Was from your act like a doll playlist, act like
a doll playlist from the beginning of the show.

Speaker 2 (02:28:24):
A doll a doll. Yeah, all right, we don't have
time for a final dispatch. We've wasted in on this discourse,
so instead, let's do this. Let's do today.

Speaker 11 (02:28:33):
I learned the following information may make you feel smarter,
but will not actually increase your IQ, So don't get cocky.
It's done.

Speaker 1 (02:28:41):
What we come to today.

Speaker 2 (02:28:44):
It is today learned for a Wednesday, October fifteenth, twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (02:28:50):
Today learned these guys.

Speaker 2 (02:28:54):
Three stooges. That's right, the three Stooges. Indeed, Columbia Pictures
President may Cone actively prevented the Three Stooges from discovering
how popular they were. Despite their films being an extremely
high demand, the executive at Columbia Pictures made them believe
they were always in danger of cancelation, so they wouldn't

(02:29:15):
negotiate a better contract, like not not letting the girl
know how hot she is. That is messed up.

Speaker 1 (02:29:21):
They only made six hundred dollars per week.

Speaker 2 (02:29:26):
That's insane. So that's what they got paid back in
the day, the Three Stooges with Columbia Pictures. Today, I'm
the founder of the Church of Satan is Anton Levy
and Anton Levy. Despite what you may believe, the founder
of the Church of Satan has strongly condemned drug use
and says he hates rock music and heavy metal even
without Satanic lyrics in it. Although he's the author of

(02:29:50):
the Satanic Bible, the Satanic Witch, the Satanic Rituals, the
Devil Book, and Satan Speaks, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:29:57):
I don't know how many people actually bother those, but
he is. Uh Ri Ip died in nineteen ninety seven. Finally, today,
learn this group right here, that's right bone Thugs in.

Speaker 2 (02:30:10):
Harmony and they are the only group that ever worked
with Chupac, the notorious b I G.

Speaker 1 (02:30:17):
Eazy E, and Big Pun. All of them, well they
were still alive. They were the Switzerland of rap groups.

Speaker 2 (02:30:24):
I like how they said when they were still alive,
as if they did not work with any of these
people after they were dead.

Speaker 1 (02:30:28):
That did not happen.

Speaker 2 (02:30:30):
Formerly Bone Enterprise, now Bone Thugs in Harmony or Bone Thugs.
Thank you so much forrag and this. We do appreciate it.
