I'm just sensing that kind of vibe here, But you
know that's the way it is.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Well, we'll push past.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
We haven't started the stream yet because there's like, as
always Courtney calls them Sean problems. These are Shawn problems,
like just really weird things that seem to happen to
me and nobody else, like very difficult to explain, stupid problems.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Where most other people be like, why can't you get

Speaker 4 (01:37):
And it's like, oh god, yeah, okay, okay, all right, fine,

I don't know. Maybe we go stream free on a Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
How about that.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
I would feel so naked it would yeah, it definitely would.
All right, here we go, let's get started. Let's put
our ears, the ground, our fingers and the pulse. See
what's happening to this great, big, wide world of ours
And we go to the Miss World competition. Oh man,
what a beautiful time to be alive and just watching
what's happening with Miss World. I guess Miss World is

(02:14):
a competitor to Miss America.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Well, I mean it seems like a much bigger competitor,
a global version.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, I mean, you get the most beautiful woman in
the world, and in that people do their thing and
one of the people who was crowned Miss World Chili
or Chile. She is in the semi finals, okay, and
this woman's name is Agnatia Fernandez, and she is a singer.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
And you know how they do this, Like when they're
doing Miss.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
America or in this case Miss World, they do a
thing where you showcase your talents.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
It's like a little you know.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Like a talent expose talent competition kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
And you get up there and.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
If you're Josh, you do that thing where you do
the farts under your armpits and you make it into
an orchestral style.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
I'll try my best.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah and PoCA bella and d but underneath your armpit.
And it's very impressive, very impressive if you're this woman,
this Ignatia Fernandez from Chile. She is a singer and
you can't see kind of singer. She's a good singer, singer,
she's a she's a singer. She's got the microphone. She
sings her song. It's part of her talent portion. Let's

(03:26):
see how it wentless.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Is an end. Miss Mundo. She's a death metal singer.
She's good, but.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Her voice is not matching her looker movements.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
It looks like AI because you have a woman in
a beautiful gown and she's up there too.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
Have they without telling anybody, just they already perfected and
stuck a fork in like they there's nothing more they
can do with auto tunes, so they've moved on to
auto scream.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yep on a screaming.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
But you gotta say voices that'll do a number to
your voice after some years. And this lady is showing
off and her talent is definitely something interesting and unique.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
She's a lady in the Misworld competition, but she also
loves death metal. No idea what she's saying.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
I assume it's in Spanish.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
It's just the opposite one of everything you would expect.
She's got this this very formal gown on and she's
got this guitarist next to her. Instead of playing some
like beautiful Spanish music, going to death metal, and she's
doing screencore. It's very impressive. It is it is. I
can't do it. I've tried it very much.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Hurts, but I guess she is is known, well known
in that world and bringing her skills now to a
bigger stage here in.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Front of the world.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
So congratulations to her over there, and what a talent,
what a skill good for her, unbelievable. I can't wait
to hear Josh's at some point.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
Yeah, buddy, at the moment.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
He's a man of many skills. We know this, We
know this much that he's a man of many skills.
But he definitely musically, I don't know if I've seen
much for him. He did sing with Ceilan and I
when we did Ice Panda, when we formed our band
Ice Panda, and Josh was on stage with us, but
he only said one.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
Word the only song I can say. I wouldn't even
say that he sung. He spoke with us.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Mean he was then he was the lead singer of
the Tequila song. But it's just yeah, there's not there's
not a lot of not a lot of flecks there
like this particular lady who's just really got it.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
She's able to.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
It's so deep, man, I still question all you people
who are driving around in your cars just randomly during
the day listening to this stuff. It's so it's so intense.
But there she is, And great luck to you and
to all the other death metal fans out there. Congratulations
Ignatia Fernandez.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
There she goes. I knew it. She goes by Iggy.
You think maybe ignatia Iggy?

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Yeah, probably probably I could see that happening for sure.
You can email the show. I just want to let
you know about this. It's easy to do email tips
tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. Tips at the news
Junkie dot com very very easy for you to email
us if you want to be anonymous, put that up
on top of set email, and you can also fire
off a recorded video or audio dispatch record yours.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Just follow the instruction over on thenewsjunkie dot com.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Got an email coming in already, and somebody says, you
were wondering the other day on the show why Jimmy
Kimmel hasn't been live and why there were a bunch
of like last minute mystery cancelations of his show despite
the fact that he was scheduled to have on I
think the Stranger Things cast and some big guests and.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
What they just had one person from the Stranger Things cast.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
But yeah, yeah, I mean that's the big press push
right now, so that would be like, but that would
be a day where you wouldn't want to miss if
at all possible. So I said, you never know what's
going on in these cases. Everybody thinks, oh, behind the scene,
it's some big battle. I will tell you, just from
experience working in this industry. Almost every time people think
there's huge pressure on you to say something or to

(07:45):
not say something.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
There's no pressure.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
People are making it up in their heads, and people
want to believe behind the scenes. The folks at ABC
are like, Jimmy Kimmel, stop talking about politics.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
They don't care. He's doing whatever he wants to do
over there. That ain't happening.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
So that was the first kind of theory people had
as to why he was mysteriously canceling Jimmy Kimmelive.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
But that wasn't what happened. Now.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
I don't watch his show, but I guess he's really
close with the band leader and would be. Yeah, I
mean they worked together every single day.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
I get it.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
This is like back in the day, you know, Dave
Letterman and Paul Schaeffer. Paul Shaffer was very much like
I mean, for all intents and purposes, a co host
of that show.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, yeah, he was on the mic a lot. He
was a big part of things. And this guy on
Jimmy Kimmel's show, Cleido Cleto Leto, Cleido Escobido. Oh what
a fun name that is Cleto Escabido and Jimmy Kimmel
found out that this band leader has died and did

(08:53):
a very emotional as he has wont to do from
time to time monologue where he was crying and paying
tribute to this lifelong friend, to his Cleto Escabido after
his band leader died. He said, it's just not fair.
That's what was going on though, and then I think
afterwards ended up saying, like, by the way, the band
leader was fifty nine, so super young, young Cleto and

(09:16):
the Kletones.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
It's today with the band. That's a good name, he says.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
We've been on the air for almost twenty three years
and I've had to do some hard monologues along the way,
But this one's the hardest because late last night, early
this morning, we lost somebody very special who was too young,
Kimmel said, before sharing a childhood story about Escabedo. Everybody
loves Cleto. Everybody here at the show, we are devastated
by this. It's not it's just not fair, he said

(09:40):
through tears on Jimmy Kimmel's show, and then they said
they were going to take.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
A couple of days off.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
So I imagine they'll take the rest of this week off,
if not next week and into Thanksgiving on the show.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
But that's what was going on there.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Thanks to Angel among other people, there were several people
who ended up emailing that, and we do appreciate that.
But that's what was going on with Jimmy Kimmel Show.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
It appears.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Okay, we got a lot to get to today. We're
going to try to get the stream up and running.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh it is, it is? Yeah, how did you what
did you even do? What did you have the thing?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Man?

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Did you please the main frame?

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Please don't tell me Selane that you simply hit the
same button that I absolutely no.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
I hit that button a couple more times just to
make sure. But then then I hit different buttons and
then something worked. Yes, God, bless you, God bless you, sir.
I mean, it would have been better if you did
this eleven minutes ago. Eleven minutes ago would have been better.
But you know now, stream it down. Hit the end.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
I've just hit the end of the stream, all right.
The Good Sea Lane giveth and the Good Sea Lane
take it away? Please don't take it away all well, nice,
you know where I'm at.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
You know where I'm at right now. Okay, I'm emotionally frail.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Courtney had to swarm the Yeah, Cocoma only helped me
out so much yesterday. But a little bit though, a
little bit, and it spiraled me into another direction, which
cost me a whole bunch of money.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
But we didn't get to that. Oh, I'm telling you,
I don't know what happened, but I got in the
row seats now so even worse.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
So yesterday I was saying, all of a sudden, Courty
and I have been singing cocoball around the meet and greet,
And then I said, Cordy, do you know the Beach
Boys are coming. I've never seen them, and I feel
like this might be the last opportunity. Otherwise, you got
a bunch of dead beach boys and there's only one
of them, that's the real deal anyways, But that would
be kind of fun to see them. So I said,
I don't take off barely any days. Let's take off

(11:41):
next Monday and go see the beach boys just for
the hell of it. I need, I need a day
off to chill and She's like, hey, of course, and
she started to get into like, I don't know, going
down this rabbit hole of islands and beach things. Before
I knew it, we booked a cruise yesterday. I'm out

(12:03):
like four g's and wait, what's what's happening here?

Speaker 3 (12:08):
What's going on right now?

Speaker 4 (12:10):
And we booked the cruise because she watched the video
and she's like, I think this would be nice to
go do this. And I said, yeah, seems like it
would be nice, and we did it would be nice?

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Wouldn't be nice? And and we didn't do like a
whole ton of research.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
And I said, I want to watch a couple of
these videos on this cruise that apparently were going on now,
and we heard there's some backstory here than that. Not
a lot of people know you used to work in
the cruise industry in in a in a fashion, in
a way for a very limited time.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
I was a DJ for some weeks.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
I was actually talking more about the SEO work that
you did for I did that ping website, so yeah,
you should know enough because you I forgot that you
actually worked on cruise ships. I was talking more about
the fact that you've been involved with the process of
marketing cruises I have and helping a cruise selling company,

(13:10):
a cruse selling website get their content in front of
people's faces. So you should know a little bit about
this content and about what cruise would be worthwhile for
you to pick.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
I should, but I don't. I should, but I don't.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
And she Courtney watched something. She's like, let's let's do this.
I really want to do this, and she's so excited.
So I'm like, I'm I'm excited because she's excited, you know.
And she didn't want to just go to New Orleans again.
We've gone to New Orleans for like ten years on Christmas.
And she's like, let's go somewhere else.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
I was like, let's go. And she finds this cruise
but cruise. I don't know what's wrong with me, but
I was pushing for the market. I was like, it's
a great deal. Look at the food, looks good. The
marty guard they go to goog good to seafood boat
on the seat.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Girl, I'm like, am I fully turning into some sort
of it's five o'clock somewhere.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Peepa is that's what's happening here? Oh God?

Speaker 4 (14:09):
And so she books this cruise, and then I go,
let's watch some videos on him. So we search on
YouTube for the this exact cruise, and and all the
people doing the videos are really old.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
I'm like, these are the oldest YouTubers I've ever seen
in my life. What's going on here? Why are these
YouTubers so old that are.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Reviewing these We don't watch any of these people. I mean,
they're in there, they're there, they're in their seventies, a
lot of these YouTubers eighties.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
I go, What's what's going on? Every single one of them?

Speaker 4 (14:40):
And then I start looking in the background this cruise,
and it's like.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
An old people cruise. Like everybody on the cruise that
I've seen in the background is old man River, old
lady River, the old people cruise. It's not shove up
and we will crack the crawdads for you, because your
poor little fingers can't do it themselves. I assure you.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
It's not the Marty Gras Jimmy Buffett cruise.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
It's strangely enough, it's the same cruise line that I
DJed on for a couple of weeks. It's Princess Oh.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
Gosh, you're gonna You're gonna take Courtney back up to
your old stupid show show where Daddy Sean used to
used to work.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
This is where I used to to spin. This is
where I spun the.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
But there weren't any actual records, but anyhow, So yeah,
that that sent me down a real deep rabbit hole.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
And all the.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Cocomo in the world ain't gonna help me this week.
I don't think it's it's gonna be.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
It's gonna be one of these times because the people
cruise the Marty Gral I think there are young people
on the Princess Cruise washing the dishes, no under realms
of the ship, Courtney and solid. Courtney's so excited. She's like,
we're gonna be the.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
Under Josh, And I know that the ship doesn't have
under roots, so yeah, I have no hibot as fast
as possible.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Courty's so excited that we're gonna be like the youngest
people on the cruise somehow, and and I think, honestly,
there's a little bit of her where she's like, I
will be the hottest woman on this cruise ship, like you, No,
there's no competition, it's not even close. I would go
I'm gonna go on this cruise ship, maybe give a
couple of guys heart attacks and as they're eating their

(16:30):
their chicken nuggies from the buffet or whatever, blow up
a few dudes. And I mean, I don't know, it's
a very important word.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
There is a very very important could not be more
crucial to that sentence.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Stores are made that way, Selan, And there's lots of
sentences made her broken with one word. That's true. Yeah.
Anyhow So, if you've gone on, ah, you've been doing
the Marty Cruise, it's.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
The Princess something, Prince Princess, sky Princess's son of the
Sky Princess.

Speaker 7 (17:10):
Fake as held over, I'm taking a ride on the
Sky Princess. It sounds like something Mario defeated a demon
to save the Sky Princess.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
That does sound fake.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
But if you've ever done that, are we in for
like the weirdest old ose cruise of our lives? Or
because I was like, why is everybody so old? And
that's making the videos of these things? What am I
in for? If you've cruised Princess recently, let me know.
This is a it's a new it's a newer ship.
Hold on the Princess Cruise ship twenty nineteen, I think

(17:47):
is when it was from Sky the Sky Princess. If
you've gone on it, is it just going to be
us at a bunch of old o's. Am I gonna
be the youngest guy in the ship.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
I don't know that. I hate that too much.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Like I wanted to strike a balance, Like I didn't
want a carnival cruise where there were torquefs every.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Five seconds in ninety nine people in a two thousand
person pool or something. I wanted like some kind of
middle ground there. But I don't know.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
I don't know what we've She's so excited though, and
I'm very excited for It's gonna be an interesting thing.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
We'll take you on that adventure at some point too.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Right now, join us sending your emails or your dispatches,
and to come watch the show over a YouTube or
on twitch dot tv, slash the news Chunky when.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
We come back.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
There is a video that is exploding in popularity online
right now. But is there any truth to what this
woman is saying? She's making phone calls and recording them.
We'll play back what she's done and go over this
viral outreach that she's doing. I guess you could call
it that. It's coming up next.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
I'm the news chunkynewschunkie dot com. All right, a lot

(19:12):
of stuff going on today on the show, and one
of the things that I want to get to is
this clip that really has my attention this morning. And
believe it or not, it's uh, there was a meeting
between Trump and some of the leaders of Syria. Like
the president of Syria is in the White House hanging
out with Trump and then the other guy's like one

(19:33):
of the big ministers in the Syrian government, and you know,
that's fine or whatever, but they're they're talking and Trump
starts doing the unthinkable, Like I got to think on
a world stage, this is like, whoa man, what are
you doing right now?

Speaker 4 (19:50):
He pulls out a thing of Trump cologne and starts
spraying the leaders of Syria with Trump cologne, and he
like the president of Syria is sitting there. He's like,
here you go, here you go, and he sprang him
like like they're out a bird eyes and he's walking
through the set factory.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
He's gonna smell terrific. It's a really good manly sense.
I know you Arabs love cologne. He starts spraying the
president of Syria, and then he goes over and starts
spraying like the finance minister. Lest you think I'm exaggerating,
here's the moment here, I'll explain it for you all.
Here we go. This is men's all right.

Speaker 8 (20:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
He sprays it on the neck and then he sprays
it in the face of the President of Syria. I
have no one here, Sir, sprays both sides of the minister,
who is also from Syria, of his face.

Speaker 9 (20:45):
So what we'll do is just take that Joe put
it in and then the other one is what.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
He's like, I'm giving you two of these, the other
ones for your wife. How many wives do you have?

Speaker 1 (20:57):
He say?

Speaker 3 (20:58):
How many wives do you? Yeah? Now, the reason I
think this is kind of crazy is these are like
world leaders.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Don't you think sprang something on another world leader would
be like whoa? Like if he was in Syria and
the Syrian president sprayed some cologne or something on Trump, there,
I go, WHOA, what the hell is going on here?

Speaker 3 (21:21):
I'd like to guy is spraying our president something?

Speaker 6 (21:24):
I'd like to think that if somebody was spraying Trump
in the Syrian I almost said Syrian white House, because
I just assume that every country has a white house,
the place.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Where the.

Speaker 6 (21:39):
Not in that if he was spraying President Trump, you
would think that like the Secret Service would barrel in
there and.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we don't know what's
in this vile exactly like this is how world leaders
assassinate each other. That's what's so crazy to me. And uh, like,
I don't care.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
I don't even care about the leaders of Syria, for
God's sake, But I thought there would be more of
a freak out moment from the staff members who would
be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we have no idea what
you're spraying on on the president of our country right now.
I'm sure maybe it's Trump cologne, but god knows. What

(22:21):
was the that Seth Rogan movie with North Korea where
the interview and the whole idea was like, we're gonna
sit down and interview Kim Kim jong un, and we're
gonna kill him, shake his hand, and pass poisoned to him.
And like world leaders are so that they bring their
own silverware, they have their meals checked, they're so on

(22:43):
edge that somebody else is going to try to assassinate him.
And it's like, this is absolutely the equivalent of going
through a mall and getting to the fragrance section and
it's like, oh.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Here you go, men' He spraised a little himself. First,
this is sprandom with a drum. I have no one here, sir.
I mean the president you can do that kind of stuff.
You can?

Speaker 4 (23:12):
You can you know you can get away with that
kind of stuff. You grab him right.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
I was gonna say, I've heard him say a quote
like this before.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
He didn't say when you're a president. He said when
you're famous. If I was in a bird eyes, I'd
be like, whow stop, what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (23:27):
But the president just can do this kind of stuff.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
And uh okay, all right, okay, jeez.

Speaker 9 (23:33):
What we'll do is just take that Joe put it
in and then the other one is for your white.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
The other one's for your white guy said, never know
how many wives do you have with you guys? I
never know? Yeah, I guess I never know. They did.
That's crazy to me.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
I mean that that seems wild that you would be
able to do that and there wouldn't be like some
giant international freak out.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Now. I don't know what's going on there.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
It would be absolutely an epic move if this is
how we took out some world leader that we were
going after.

Speaker 6 (24:06):
He's spread it on himself first, so he's going out
with him. No that, or he's doing like the Count
of Monte Cristo deal where you drink a just a
lead a bit of poison each day to work your
body up to an immunity and then you know then
then you're when you can be poison and you're fine.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Right that.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
Maybe he's done that secretly in the background, Alexander Dumas Uh,
in the background, secretly he's been testing this out and
now he can he can take it.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
But the Syrian present will be just he'll drop to
his knees. I don't know what's gonna happen next. Only
time will tell. We'll see it'll be interesting like everything else.
And join us on the show with your thoughts. Tips
at the news Junkie dot com. Tips at the news
junkie dot com. Uh, if you're serious about playing Kokomo
as today I learned somebody says here's something you could use.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Oh, I'm not gonna do that. Every day this week. No, no, no,
And it depends on how bad things go today.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
If things go really bad today, if things go poorly,
then one hundred percent, I'll cocomo it out of here.
But I don't know if I need to. This person says,
here's something I learned. John Samos is not a full
time drummer for the Beach Boys, but a long time
friend who occasionally performs with them.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
I wonder if he'll be at this performance. I want
to go really cool. Yeah, I like me some John Samos.
I like me some Beach Boys. I'm a bit of
a beach boy myself. Time to these days.

Speaker 6 (25:30):
I mean, he's got free time, right, I think he
tours with the Beach Boys.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
What no, no, does he really does he? Really?

Speaker 6 (25:36):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (25:37):
Maybe not full time, but I think that's like what
he's been doing with his time lately.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
He does a lot of stuff where like if Disney
has events and they need somebody to host the event
where they're announcing all their new theme park changes, he's
the guy. He's one of those dudes. He picks up
the phone and he does things for people, and then
he gets to be a voice and inside out seven
or you know, Toy Story five, whatever the case may be.

(26:03):
Saw the trailer about that or for that Toy Story
five yesterday after the show, which was kind of interesting.
But he'll do those things and get something I would
imagine down the road from him. I got to play
this woman who's going megaviral today, all of her clips
of her calling people. I will get to that here momentarily.
Right now, I want to work in our first dispatches

(26:23):
of the day, just to show you this is for
real and we actually do take your feedback record yours
over at thenewsjunkie dot.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Com right now, just like this. Here's muff Now, what's
going down, junkies.

Speaker 10 (26:34):
Hey, So I have been on a bunch of Princess
cruises and I love them.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
They're fantastic. The food is really good, okay, Sean.

Speaker 10 (26:43):
One tip is when you get on the boat, try
and get up to the Sanctuary, yeah, as fast as possible,
and book your days up there. It is a private
area where it's only adults. It's nice and quiet. They
give you a fantastic up there. They bring you a
cucumber water, anything you want, all sorts of drinks, cucumber water,

(27:07):
padded cushions on your seat.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
This sounds so old.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Yeah, you're telling me about cucumber water and big ass
padded cushions.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
This sounds old.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
I want to know there's still a party somewhere if
I'm looking for it, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
I want to know cause there's a party, not Margarita belt.
Are you going to the Margarita? But we're going to
play cage and crossword and Gumbo gabin hour.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Although the more I say where I'm actually going, the
more it sounds cooler to go on a Margaritaville cruise.
Because if I say, yeah, I'm going on the you know,
the sky Princess.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
That's that doesn't sound as cool. I don't think generally
speaking as this, But that's why I want.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
People who have been on that particular cruise tell me
that it's not just going to be me and a
bunch of old people.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Me according to a bunch of old people. Tell me
that this, like this is a good time. And I
don't don't sell me cucumber water and no, young people
sell me on something better than that.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
For God's sake. Here's another one. Here's incase soul we're
talking about. iHeartRadio stock Sean.

Speaker 11 (28:12):
Just wanted to thank you for the iHeartRadio stock tip advice.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it when it was
down at a dollar. I think I catched out when
it was at four fifty. Good for you, man, I
mean that's a nice gain and a very short amount
of time. I think the tech stocks have taken even
longer to go up that much. So man, if I

(28:37):
would have been really sure about myself and through a
nice big chunk in there, that would have been really nice.
But still there's some money's in there and got more
moneys back. So for you, Bud, Thank you kindly, sir.
Keep those stock tips coming.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, I don't know that. I have a whole bunch
more for you know.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
Come on, when they when they think stock tips, they
think Nancy Pelosi, Sean Watson.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Yeah, clearly, clearly I'm who you go to for that.
I gotta tell you, that was just one that seemed
like a no brainer to me because iHeart stock was
below a dollar, and I suggest Iheart's assets are worth
more than this, and the bankruptcy thing is the only
thing that's been sort of just overwhelming their financial situation,

(29:20):
and now there seems to be a path. It's not
because I'm a company guy. I really couldn't care less
about that. But I saw a stock that I thought
was way too low for the value of the company,
and I thought, I work for this company that alone's
got a ten x the value that we're seeing here.
And yeah, I don't know if it's gonna go much higher,
but it seemed like it.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Was a good ride.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
I'll tell you if I if I get any other
insider trading stuff, all right, I'll send that over to
you all the info you might want or need right now.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
We're gonna take quick break. When we come back, we'll
take your feedback, your emails, and your dispatches. We'll get
to this.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Woman who is recording yourself calling a bunch of places.
I'll play that back for you and tell you what
all the dramas about. That's coming up next on the
News Junkie over at thenewschunkie dot com. One of the

(30:22):
most viral stories of the day, and that's what we
focus on around here for this story where there's a
woman who decided to call up all of these churches
across the country and record herself calling them.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Whether or not that's legal is another question. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
I mean it depends on the state. You're not allowed
to just record people in a lot of states, like
Florida in particulars two party consent, yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Or just in general on the radio. I'll tell you.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
We try to make it so you guys listening to
this show know all the other people that are faking
it out there, Like you should know that there are
a lot of radio shows that use fake callers. That's
one thing you should know that if there's ever a
prank call on a radio show, there is no if,
hands or butts. I'm telling you this with all the
authority in the world because I know about this, and
it's what I do. If you hear a prank call

(31:14):
on a radio show, it is fake or illegal. It
is fake or illegal. Those are the only two options.
You cannot tell anybody afterwards. You have to tell them beforehand.
You have to let them know they're being recorded for
broadcasts on the radio. So all the ones that you
hear are people faking them. All these like war the
Roses bits and and all these dumb old radio things. No,

(31:35):
they're all fake. Now, I'm not saying that this woman
is faking her calls. I think that she actually did
make these calls. I'm just saying, I don't know whether
or not she was allowed to record these and post
them on TikTok as she did.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
Weird question. We may have gone over this with Moses before.
I don't recall, But since Florida is a two party
consent state, but there does exist a three way call. Yeah,
if I want to record somebody surreptitiously, can I call
you and you and I consent, and then we three
way call somebody and we have two parties consenting to

(32:11):
this recording.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
You're saying, does it need to be two parties consenting,
no matter how many total parties they are, So like.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
This seems like a yellow A loophole.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
And an FBI wiretap loophole is like, yeah, sure, we're
listening into the crime family's phone calls. But one FBI
agent's on one end and another's on another end, and
they are both consenting to the call.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
But it's a party line with nobody else. Nobody else
is aware.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
I don't know, We'll have to ask what's more and
run that by him again. But this woman is filming herself,
and she calls these churches. She called all sorts of
churches according to her, Mormon churches, Christian churches, Catholic churches,
and she called them up and she would say, hey,
I need some baby formula. And she would use to

(33:00):
to sort of highlight the fact that she would say, like, look,
these churches aren't actually helping. Now, I'll tell you why
that's stupid in a second, and I'll tell you, like
the obvious conclusion that I knew she would come to
before she even did this.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
But here's just an example.

Speaker 12 (33:16):
All right, Okay, So I'm calling your church to test
to see if they would help feed a starving baby.
And I had a lot of requests to call another
mega church. I'm calling Abundant Church West in al Paso, Texas.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
So she's calling l passer, going to call to.

Speaker 12 (33:27):
See if they would help feed a starving baby.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
All right, This is some lady on her TikTok channel
with millions and millions of views on this now, and
she calls up I think she called forty different churches
just like this, with a fake baby crying in the background.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Hi.

Speaker 12 (33:42):
Yes, I just want to see if there's any way
you all can help with a can of baby formula.
I have a two month old and I ran out
last night. So she's gone all night and all day
without anything to eat.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
And unfortunately the foot pattern is only available on Sundays,
and I don't know if we have any baby formula
at the moment.

Speaker 12 (34:01):
Okay, is it something that you often get and I
can just pick it up or something.

Speaker 11 (34:07):
Well, there's nobody at.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
The food pantry, all right.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
So she goes on like this, and at the end
she's basically trying to prove the point that these churches
they tell you they're going to help out with this stuff,
but they don't really.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
They don't really do this.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
When I call up and I've got a crying baby
in the background, and I'm like, can I get some
formula from the church, They'll turn you down. And then
she comes to the inevitable conclusion. Trust me, when she
started this that oh, what I called a couple of mosques.
They were like mega sweet about this, but you know,
most of the Christian churches were evil and just wouldn't
help me out with my baby. Not to be clear,

(34:43):
she at least did feature a couple of the churches
where they said sure and they were willing to help
her out. But she's you know, she got a gold
in an agenda. The weird thing about this is, I mean,
I think that the thing she's trying to test is
just so obviously true. It's weird to me because there's
a lot of people who don't either seem to see

(35:04):
this or don't care because they want to demonize religious people.
All right, there's a lot of people who want to
demonize religious people. Religious people are bad by default, so
therefore they don't do anything good, or anything that they're
pretending to do good is fake, and they're not every
city that I have lived in, every single city that
I've spent any significant amount of time in, when I

(35:26):
started to look at what was going on under the
surface and what groups were actually helping out, let's say,
homeless people, poor people, battered women, you know, the people
that we want the most to be helped by a
social safety net in so many cases. And I am
not a religious person at all. It was just the
inevitable truth at the end of the rainbow that it

(35:47):
was mostly churches and church organizations and faith based organizations
that do.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
The heavy lifting in those areas.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
If you see a downtown area and you see somebody
like feeding the homeless. So many times that is actually
a church or religious institution or religious group that is
involved in that. And I don't know why, but there's
an effort here to like pretend that doesn't happen. We
don't have to pretend like there aren't any problems, like
the Catholic Church doesn't have weird pedo problems, or like

(36:18):
you know, this church doesn't have this issue, or you know,
they haven't advanced far enough socially on this or that
or whatever. But there's just like there's an attempt to
demonize and at the same time be like, well, the mosques,
the scary Muslims were the ones that wanted to help
us when you just got Randos answering the phone, Like
you could call a planned parenthood and do the same thing,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
The planned parenthood isn't going to be like, well, we've
got baby formula for you and we're here to help.
They don't do that. It's not a thing that they do.
You know, they do help out.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
These communities though, I really believe they do. And one
thing that I find so interesting here, and this is
like a left right dynamic thing that I want to
get into just briefly, there's a fundamental problem in our
country where people on the left politically do not understand
in the slightest people on the right, and people on
the right don't understand people on the left. Everybody thinks

(37:10):
the person opposite of them is just evil, bad and inherented,
you know, stupid, They're just so, they're so stupid they
can help themselves all of these things, right. And the
weird thing is the left shares this worldview that is
generally like, the more experience you get, the more people
you meet, the more types of people you get to know,

(37:31):
the more diversity you have in the experiences that you
have in your life, the more your heart will soften,
the more you will be a better person, your mind
will open. But they don't seem to at all adhere
to that when it comes to people who are politically
different than them, or these religious people, they don't seem
willing enough to like go out and actually meet some

(37:52):
of these people because again saying this is a person
who's not at all religious, I don't care about religion.
It is just the truth that a lot of the
organizations that help out with people who are poverty stricken,
people who are mothers who are struggling a lot of
these places. It's not the government, it's not it's not
activist groups. It is churches, as much as you might

(38:14):
hate them, and a lot of these cities. And I
think this was sort of an effort to point that
out that a lot of these churches wouldn't help. But
you're just calling an operator on a phone line. When
I bet if you went there, I would have some
things that helped them out.

Speaker 6 (38:28):
By the way, if in case you're curious, so far,
in as much of this video as we've watched, she
has not broken the law. You can legally record a
phone call in Texas if one party is aware that
it is being recorded.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
So you could be the one party, Yes, you have
to be.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
You can record a phone call if you are one
of the people on the phone call. If you are
not on the phone call, you have to get the
permission of at least one participant of the phone call,
and that person must be aware the conversation will be recorded, however,
not the other participant.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Which one do we like better? Like should it be
two party consent? Or should like should what this lady's
doing be wrong? Because she's not getting the consent of
these churches she's calling to try to pull this little
social experiment on.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
I think personally, I like two party consent, like should
be able to just record you and then release whatever
it is for content creation. I think one party consent
is brilliant.

Speaker 6 (39:25):
I mean it just really it removes a lot of
you know, it removes a lot of barriers to getting
good content out there because once you tell somebody that
they're going to be recorded. In some situations, now, if
I'm on the phone with some sort of company, if

(39:46):
I'm calling customer service and they say this call may
be recorded for quality, you know, assurance or whatever, I
do not act any differently than I would if I
was calling and they didn't say that. But if somebody
was calling me and wanted to interview me and they said, hey,
I'm recording this phone call just so you know, and
I'd be like, okay, now I know that there could

(40:09):
be audio of whatever I say.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Now I act like everybody's recording me at all times.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
You're very paranoid, except all those THC sodas.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
That take it away from me.

Speaker 6 (40:22):
Many in Texas it's a one party consent, so you
only need one person's permission and the other people there
ask out of luck.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Well, I want to know how people feel about that.
Do you think that's fair criticism? Saying like, well, I
called and acted like I needed formula for my baby.
So that shows you that these places are actually not
helping individuals out, that they're not part of the social
safety net.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
I think they are though.

Speaker 6 (40:48):
And I know we kind of meshed the two conversations
together earlier, but the broadcast rule is completely different.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Yeah, from the law, is what you're saying.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
Well, from the recording law, just the broadcast yeah thing. Yeah,
that's why I'm telling you.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
If you you know, if you hear these kind of
conversations and they're not on TikTok or something like, this
woman doesn't care. She's just going to record it no
matter what the rules or laws are and post it
out there because people, wow, wow, West that stuff. But
we couldn't do that, or you hear people doing that
in radio, you're not allowed to do that anyhow.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Give us your thoughts on that.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
I thought it was interesting the stories as pastors are
crashing out. Pastors are crashing out after a woman tests
churches pretending to need baby formula to see who actually helps.
She said she only had three hundred followers when this started,
but I guess she's got a bunch of attention now.
She called over forty establishments, but only nine offered assistants,
including a Buddhist temple and Islamic center, several Catholic churches

(41:42):
in a Black church. Right, so this is the outcome
she wanted to get to to begin with. I'm pretty
sure you know that the Christian churches didn't want to help,
but some of these other ones actually did. And they're
just the ones that line up with me and my identity,
politics and all that crap. But for me, I look
at it and go, why are you trying to take
this away from these people? All the people I know

(42:03):
in my real, genuine life who do charity work and
do events are actually religious people.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
They are they are.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
And I think religion is a negative on the world
in so many different ways.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
But that's a positive.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
Like why are we gonna pretend Why are you gonna
pretend that that's not the case. Why do you pick
and choose stuff that you're gonna get angry about? Like
that seems like something where don't go after them on that,
But I do want to hear from you.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Let us know.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
Send a dispatch, tips at Thenewsjunkie dot com. Email the
show right now.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
Quick break. When we come back.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
I want to get into something that's blowing up big
time on Netflix. We got these new Epstein emails. What's
actually in them? This will be interesting to dive into.
And a mistaken emergency alert goes out once more. I
can't believe it, but I'm looking at it, so I do.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
I'll read it to you. It's coming up. We're gonna
play it. It's coming up next on the News Junkie.
Can't do that. I'm spinning plates like a like a

(43:15):
fool over here. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
I just spent a whole talking to skull Mic you
had there during that last break.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
It's folks.

Speaker 4 (43:23):
If you're near to the show, when you're watching on
YouTube YouTube dot com slash the News Junkie, go over there,
subscribe when you're watching on the stream. I talked during
the breaks. I hang out talk with the chat people.
We preview what's coming up, and we just have like
a whole different world going on over there, which is
kind of fun. And I there's been people flying around.

(43:43):
You got forest working on some of the final touches
of the Rose video right now.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
Austin was in here earlier and he.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
Was switching up some some some video inputs and like,
you know, focusing in my new camera a little bit. Finally,
and uh, we have people out working on the aquarium.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
This Courtney came in. Courtney came in.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
She just brought the cat back from the vet. And
you guys know junkie cat. Our cat is like as
feral as it gets. Like she doesn't spend a lot
of time hanging out with anybody other than like when
just we're here and she's not feeling too hot, and
so Courtney had to like secretly trap her and shove

(44:27):
her into the cage to bring her to the vet.
And she's at the vet like freak it out. And
it was like, all this craziness is happening, and I'm
trying to work through all of this, and I try
to do the school mic thing during the break and
I kick it on. I'm like, guys, sorry, it's been
so chaotic. And then I'm talking with Forrest about credits
and a couple of other things, and I'm like all right,

(44:48):
And then I'm doing a little chit chat about our
last segment, and then I sit back down and see
her and goes, huh.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
The people on school mic thought you made a mistake
and you didn't actually turn your microphone on that whole time.
And I was like, they are not wrong. I thought
I was. I thought the whole time I was conversing
with my chat friends and I was not number one
and uh.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
And it was brutal. I thought they were just ignoring me.
I thought that was what was happening there. It happened sometimes. Okay,
we're going to take your emails tips at the.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Uh and gonna We're gonna see what you got here.
Cape Canaveral says, I hope you're doing well to tips
of the new Chunky dot com. This has nothing to
do with Trump sprang perfume on folks, but the Brevard
County School Board is considered closing the only school in
Cape Canaveral. Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
Cape Canaveral is synonymous with the space industry and high
Technology's one of the most widely recognized US town names
in the world. I don't know about that isn't just
because of the Cape stuff. I guess because of the
NASA stuff. Cape View Elementary is an A rated school.
There's over thirty five schools not A rated in the
in the county. It's a Title I school and serving

(45:57):
a large population of at risk used I have a
lot of time about I thought, since it was relevant
to central Florida, it would be worth a little comment.
That's a hyper local issue, friend, And we got to
realize sometimes we're talking to a larger audience. We're talking
to a lot of people all over the place, so
your hyper local issue might not be a good fit.
Sometimes I would talk to all your friends in in

(46:18):
Brevard County and at the Brevard County school Board and
go fight the fight, fight the good fight, because it
sounds like you're you're onto something.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Now, how does that motivation? It does not care about Sean.
They're shutting down the church's chicken in my particular neighborhood.
Why won't you talk about this right now? I mean,
that's not my fight, that's not my battle.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
I don't want them to shut down good schools if
what you're saying is true, and I want you to
fight for it, but don't put that on me, And like,
what do you want me to do? It's also not
relevant to like ninety nine point nine percent of our
Central Florida listeners.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
You know what I mean. They don't care, buddy, They're
not They're not very interested in that.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
Because it's a hyper local issue to just use. So
good luck on your battle. Anonymous emails the show and says,
I think you're gonna have a wonderful time on the
cruise you booked. They said, Princess Cruises is your original
love boat. It tends to attract an older demographic. My
fears are coming true here because it doesn't have a
lot of the amenities like water slides, rock climbing, ice skating,

(47:21):
and other features that attract families like Ro Caribbean.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
You mean all the fun stuff. We don't have any
of that stuff. Princess isn't an adult's only cruise line.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
There are kids clubs, but you won't see too many
children on board, Anonymous says, And it's a royal class ship,
relatively new vessel. I highly recommend the premiere Princess option.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
Who means lot of slides? When you got the jitipub Jubilee,
it's not Come on now, I'm starting to wish with
jello shots for the geriatric soul.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
This is making me feel old all of this. We
should have just gone Carnival Cruise lines, the cheapest one
they had. Let's go to the Bahamas two day cruise.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Ninety nine bucks.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
That's where the fireworks are, right, That's where there is
a rock wall.

Speaker 6 (48:11):
Wait wait, wait, wait, You've just spent like on and
off the last couple of weeks saying that the cheapest
cruise is going to bring out the cheapest people.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
Yes, and that's what I'm saying. I trying to avoid that.
Oh you okay, but I was trying to avoid that.
I don't want to be with.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
The animals right on a cruise ship.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
I don't want to be with like the lowest common denominators.
I don't care about if people are poor or rich
or whatever. I want to be with people who, despite
their income level, have a sense of class about them.
I want to with people who shame is still an
important thing in their lives.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
You know. I want to be with those people.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
Like I don't want some guy tripping on mushrooms trying
to win the belly flop competition busting into my vacation.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
You know, very specific sounds like I am no a person.
I'm not saying anybody's name, But I'm just saying I
don't want anybody.

Speaker 4 (49:12):
On my cruise vacation who's tripping out on mushrooms, all
freaking out, jumping in No sean wants the feather, you know,
and the gumbo taste off low sodium edition.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
Thank you, Anonymous. Thank you for the email.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
And I did, we did the premiere thing that you're saying,
that's great advice. You are somebody who knows a lot
about this, and I appreciate you and I appreciate the email,
So thank you for that, Anonymous. All right, I want
to talk briefly about the number one movie on Netflix
right now, which is Frankenstein. They did this re release
of Frankenstein from Guiermo del Toro and the not not

(49:57):
from Big Daddy.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Not that franking Stein. God damn jets, not that fragance.

Speaker 6 (50:05):
Most critics are cynical assholes.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
The actual Frankenstein that they rebooted on Netflix.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
And Netflix is saying, there's this weird.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
Thing that's going on right now where it's one of
the most rewatched and rewatched three times and four times
and five times movies they've ever had on the platform.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
So they put this up there, and there's a lot
of people who are rewatching it over and over and
over and over and over again, and they're trying to
make sense of why people not only like the Frankenstein
that was released on Netflix recently. Meanwhile, they're ignoring stuff
like there's a new Squid Game thing that's out on Netflix,
like the nobody's even talking about it. I saw it

(50:48):
on the the dynamic lead there.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it seems a little like nobody's interested
in that.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
But the Frankenstein nobody's dying.

Speaker 6 (51:00):
Yeah, did we figure out last time they did the
real life squid Game that we're like, oh, this is
what it would be like if we watched the show
and they didn't kill anybody, even even it is.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
The most important part of the show.

Speaker 6 (51:14):
Even even the second season of Squid Game that came out,
I think people started to lose interest because we were
so like glued to the first couple episodes of the
first season because of how crazy.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
And out there it was.

Speaker 6 (51:29):
And now that we go back to play the games
again and we know everybody's gonna die, it's like, yeah,
they're killing people.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
Yeah, we need we need something to spice this up.
We got some theories rolling in.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
People are saying they're falling asleep because it's so boring,
and it starts playing again. Uh does the new Frankenstein
have bolts in his neck? Now he's he's like an
updated Frankenstein.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
But it's pretty monsters act.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's doctor Frankenstein and it's just the monster.
But the it's pretty true that this is based on
the original Mary Shelley Frankenston, which was loosely based on
some guy at the time who they said was doing
a lot of experiments with animals and humans and stuff.
This is like half true all over the place in

(52:15):
the original story. But Mary Shelley wanted to write a book.
She was having a challenge with her friends at the
time and they wanted to write the most creepy, weird
original story. And Mary Shelley young, young, Josh, can you
look that up?

Speaker 3 (52:29):
How old was Mary Shelley which she wrote Frankenstein, Because
I think she might have been twenty ish. She was young.

Speaker 5 (52:37):
Eighteen when she started writing it. That's crazy man, twenty
when it was published.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Remember she's the one who started this.

Speaker 6 (52:46):
Shelley lived at fifty three. Like back then, you had
to get you had to get going through.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
What were we doing at eighteen? She wrote Frankenstein. Mary
Shelley wrote, Frankenstein at eighteen years old. That's incredible, incredible.

Speaker 4 (53:01):
But I think that one of the reasons why this
Netflix series or the reboot I guess the movie of
Frankenstein from Germeo del Toro is doing so well is
because it finally becomes clear what the famous Frankenstein's story
is about. And it's just simply put an allegory for

(53:22):
ugly people.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
That is what it is.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
The Frankenstein's story is about what it's like to be
ugly on planet Earth.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
That is why.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Frankenstein is like, Nope, you're one of the beautiful people.
John Day couldn't be. You're not a Frankenstein person. But
the truth of the matter is the Frankenstein story. I
think a lot of people are watching it and they're like, yeah,
this resonates with me. I'm ugly and it's about being ugly.
The story of Frankenstein. You know, obviously you have doctor Frankenstein.
He makes the monster. Doctor Frankenstein gets so freaked out

(53:56):
by his own creation and how dangerous it is.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
He just panics.

Speaker 4 (53:59):
The monster goes oh, wanders through a city. The monster
finds some books and learns how to read and speak
and write and do those kind of things. And the
monster keeps interacting with.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Villagers, and the villagers like, ah, every time they see
this guy, they scream.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
Every time they see this guy, they scream. It's like
this video that Courtney plays on repeat, where, Oh God,
can I find this live on the show. I think
I've played it before. Have you seen the one where
the redhead guys scares the woman and she screams.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
I feel like you have to be more specific, but
I would give it to you here.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
Okay, this was one of my favorite viral videos that
Courtney showed me back in the Dead. This guy randomly
pulls up in somebody's driveway and their security footage filmed.
The wife and her two daughters here. They're getting stuff
out of their cars and this guy's walking around the
neighbor and he wanted to say something to them, and
the woman saw him. He was so ugly that she

(55:01):
shrieked and screamed just at his just at his appearance. Okay,
and I was I always think about this and imagine
being this guy. This is Frankenson.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
Some chemical smell.

Speaker 11 (55:11):
It in.

Speaker 6 (55:22):
Sorry, because that's not like a that was not a
real scream. Yes, that was not the scream that was
from this video. Hundred that's it. No, it's a bad edit.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Are you kidding me? I want to believe. I want
to believe tom in there might as well be. This
guy is so ugly.

Speaker 4 (55:48):
She she was scared, Okay, even if the scream is
is dubbed. She was scared so much of this guy
that it's just his appearance frightened her.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
That's what Frankenstein is about. His proximity.

Speaker 6 (56:00):
I think probably was frightening, Like he did not make
any indication that he was coming up their driveway Lake Senlose.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
He got pretty close.

Speaker 4 (56:16):
She gets scared when she just sees this guy because
he looks like who's the prop comic Carrot Top? He
looks like Carrot Top, but like Carrot Top's a good
looking guy compared to this guy. It's just the truth,
all right. This guy is frightening looking, and and that's
what Frankenstein is about. Frankenstein eventually befriends this old man,
and the old man is blind, so the old man

(56:39):
doesn't know that Frankenstein is a gross old monster or
you know, you know, you get you know, he's not
named Franken Sztein, but you get it. And the monster
befriends this old guy, but the old guy's blind, he
doesn't know that he's a monster. And they play like
chess with each other and they get to know each
other real good. And then finally the blind old man's
family comes home and they just knew the monster because

(57:01):
they see what this old man didn't see the whole time.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
And he's so hideous that they opened fire on him
and they pitch fork them and they try to burn
him alive.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
And it's an allegory about ugly people. I think that's
why it's resonating with so many people out there. I
thought it was I don't know what this says, but
I thought it was okay. I thought it was pretty decent.
I thought it was it was okay movie. A lot
of you thought it was boring, But tell me what
you thought. Send over your response to your review over
at tips at the Newsjunkie dot com, or send a

(57:31):
dispatch record yours.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Now at the Neewsjunkie dot com. When we come back.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
An alert that went out mistakenly and freaked a whole
bunch of people out.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
What was this alert? What it did say? I'll read
it to you.

Speaker 4 (57:43):
We've got those emails in the Epstein world that have surfaced.
And when we come back, how you, as a pet
owner could get one hundred thousand dollars in mailbox money?
One hundred k in your mailbox? What's this all about?
It's coming up next in the.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
News, junkie. I'm right now. How would you like? See

(58:24):
Lane and Josh? That's me. I'm not one hundred thousand dollars.
Huh be gave that? Yeah, that's me on that for sure.
I'm on it. If in the world of that's me on.

Speaker 4 (58:35):
That this stands at the top, I think really, because
who doesn't want one hundred thousand dollars?

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Now? Second question for both of you, see Lane and Josh,
are you a pet owner? Yes? Yes, so far so
good boy? Oh boy, do I have some good news
for you. I don't he out my dog, do I? Maybe?
Maybe not?

Speaker 4 (58:58):
We're going to fight out together listening to this show.
One thing I always promise you, despite you know, you
might run into some prickly takes from time to time.
You might agree with me or disagree with me. We're
always going to go on a ride together. We're going
to go on a roller coaster of all things viral,
and we're going to go through it all right every day.
But along the way, we're going to try to help

(59:19):
you out on this show. I'm going to try to
help you out wherever I can with this mailbox money.
So that's why we select these stories. We get them,
and when we find a way that you can get
some money through a class action suit, you're probably already
doing all the things you need to accept for filling
out one form and you could get money.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
And people do all the time, all the time.

Speaker 4 (59:40):
Right now, everybody who listens to the show has been
getting their Facebook settlements. They're getting seventy five, one hundred,
two hundred dollars. People have gotten programs that we've talked
about for fifty thousand dollars before. This is mailbox money,
and we talk about it whenever we can. For real,
this time, this is a big one. American pet owner

(01:00:00):
are getting checks as big as one hundred thousand dollars
from a five point five million dollar settlement.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
All you need is a receipt. That's it. That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
That's the beginning. That's the end, that's the whole thing.
All you need is a receipt. Now, there are people
who bought dog food that unfortunately contains salmonella.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
In some of these cases. The settlement this could bring
money to your mailbox. Friend.

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
Relates to a dispute involving Mid America Pet Food and
there's a five point five million dollar payout. A lawsuit
is filed claiming the brand advertising sold pet food products
containing salmonella.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
The company has not admitted any wrongdoing, but has agreed
to pay out.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
Nonetheless, the products were recalled in the fall of twenty
twenty three. The maximum amount from the settlement is one
hundred thousand dollars and it applies to pet owners who
have submitted injury claims. You can go to claim com
and if you look for Mid America Pet Food settlement
you'll see what I'm talking about. To receive the maximum amount,

(01:01:08):
you'll have to have receipts.

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
From your vet and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
And if your animal became sick or died, you can
get up to one hundred thousand dollars. Right, So, if
your animal ate this food and then became sick or
died and you got like the vet bills and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
You could get one hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:01:25):
If your dog was on this particular type of pet
food called Mid America pet Food.

Speaker 6 (01:01:30):
You would need more than the receipt though. You would
have to submit those vet bills, right.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Yeah, yeah, the vet bills if you have.

Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
If your dog actually died and you have the vet
bills and all that stuff, you're ready get the most.

Speaker 6 (01:01:39):
I would imagine, in pardon the pun, opportunity here, but
I would imagine that for something with this big of
a payout, they'd be vetting people more than just Hey,
I you know, I bought this thing that has a
flimsy hinge and you know, don't don't need it, No

(01:02:00):
receipt required.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
I'm just going to say that I bought.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
It like a donut, right, you know the old mitch
Hedburg gone. You donate a receipt for some stuff, but
this you have it for. If you have it, you
could get up to one hundred thousand dollars ceiling. But
here's the thing, and this.

Speaker 6 (01:02:12):
Is gonna lad that you specified you were going to
mitch Hedberg route because I was, like I said, flimsy
hinge and you went donut.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Yeah, this flimsy hinge on a donut.

Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
This, this is the key thing here, all right, And
this is gonna be a moral question. You have to
ask yourself. You're gonna have to run this by yourself.
If you claim that your animal became sick or died
but you just don't have any evidence, you get one
hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):
So if you're willing to go to the website and
be like, my dog got sick or my dog died,
but unfortunately I threw away all the receipts that the
vet gave me and the dog food receipts and all that,
But I assure you, like I'm going to claimdepot dot com.
I'm going over there, I'm looking up the Mid America
Pet Food Settlement, and I'll click the box that says,

(01:03:03):
I assure you my animal became sicker.

Speaker 4 (01:03:05):
Down one hundred dollars if you have no scruples, if
you're willing to do that, if you bought the pet food,
but again, whoops, forgot my receipt. Don't have my receipt
for the pet food, but I assure you I definitely bought.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
That at some time. Forty dollars. Forty dollars if you
get this.

Speaker 4 (01:03:25):
Some of the big brands were Victor, Super Premium dog Food,
Members Mark, Grain Free Dog Food, Waine Feeds Dog Food,
Eagle Mountain Dog Food. Those are some of the big
brands that were involved in this. But you could get
a payout and if you have no scruples, you can
get one hundred dollars. If you don't care about lying
about things and you had nothing to do with this,
you can get one hundred dollars. If you have a

(01:03:46):
little bit of scruples, you could get forty dollars. If
you have all the scruples, I'm sorry you're not getting
any money unless your dog actually died. That's the unfortunate
side effect of this.

Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
One hundred thousand dollars for Fido rip Dog.

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
But money coming in is pretty nice if you're getting
that six figure settlement.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
Let us know if that happened to you. Send your
dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
Somebody emailing about Frankenstein. PM says the attack the monster
caused the family. The family comes home to the old man.
Oh god, dude, what is this voice to text? I'm
literally going to read this word for word, just so
you guys know what happens to me sometimes the attack
the monster caused. The family comes home to the old

(01:04:33):
man dead from a wolf attack and to see the
monster and think he killed the old man, and that's
why that attacked the monster.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
That's word for word what this says.

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
It reminds me of the campaign speech that Dennis reads,
and it's always Sonny that Charlie wrote.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
So do.

Speaker 4 (01:04:54):
I think if I could translate this? They attacked the
monster because the family comes home to the old man
dead from a wolf attack, and they see the monster
and they think that he killed the old man, and
that's why they attacked the monster. That's my translation. But
doing that in real time, not having read it before,
is just very, very difficult. It turns out, let's go

(01:05:16):
over to the other side and work in some dispatches.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
Join us on the show.

Speaker 4 (01:05:19):
Send yours over now thenewsjunkie dot Com. Here is a
flip talking about cruises. He says all cruises are for
trash people.

Speaker 8 (01:05:28):
Ouch, geez, sorry, I got a rail on cruises a
little bit. My family and I went on a cruise
this summer. It was supposed to be a big family
vacation and I did enjoy spending time with my family.
It was a great time hanging with them. Other than that,
everything else sucked. It was a brand new ship. I

(01:05:49):
think we went on one of the first cruises of
the that the ship took. Yeah, I won't say which
line it was with, but they did call me yesterday
and asked me if I thought about my next vacation.
I said, yeah, I thought long and heart, and I'll
never go on a goddamn vote again.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:06:05):
The pools, pools and hot tubs are like human soup.
Everybody was packed in. They're like nuts, the butts and
the The amount that I paid was six thousand, six
hundred and sixty dollars and sixty six cents for three
of us.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
And it sounds it's like a problem.

Speaker 8 (01:06:22):
Which I should have known right then, because the cabin
that they put me in was ten six sixty six.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
Bro, what there's it cost you? Six thousand, six hundred
and sixty six dollars and sixty six cents and you're
in cabin six sixty six? Is that what he said?

Speaker 5 (01:06:40):
Cabin six six, six hundred sixty six, six hundred and
sixty six dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
No, no, no, I had to be more than that.

Speaker 8 (01:06:47):
So I mean, I'm going to go out on a
limb and say that I doomed myself right off the bat,
and sorry Jimmy later today, and sorry Sean that you
booked a cruise because cruises are for trash people.

Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
Trash people, and generally says, all right, okay, and I
I don't care about these things as much. I just
want according to have a vacation that she's excited about.
She deserves one. That's what I'm going for here. And
she got into this idea. She's never been on a
cruise in her life. She wanted to go on a cruise,

(01:07:22):
and then she just picked this one. And it looks great,
but it does look like there's a lot of old
people on it. Now, what I'll say for this Princess Cruise,
the Sky Princess that we're going on, is that it
doesn't look like it's a human soup situation. It doesn't
look like it's dumb.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
It's not human gumbo. It's not there's no Margueritaville. There's
no Jimmy Bots and Marty Graun.

Speaker 6 (01:07:50):
Dude, come on, you're mixing Marty gra and Margueritaville. It's
two different styles.

Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
Yeah, I know, but waita, I feel like this is
what I would have got on the Margaritaville cruise though.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
No. No, Jimmy Buffett all the time. Yeah, but that's
the same thing. They'll play some zydeco they on a
Jimmy Buffett cruise. You guys are wrong, Yes, okay, you're
gonna tell me. You go to Margaritaville z restaurant and
you're not hearing zydaco along with Jimmy Buffett songs.

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
That's correct, not like exclusively you go to Pad O'Brien's
for the zydeco.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
I think Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville plays at least some zydeco songs.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
Whatever I think they do, I think they do because
that's what their vibes are.

Speaker 4 (01:08:31):
They're like New Orleans party island cruising. I mean more
island and cruising in flip flops.

Speaker 6 (01:08:39):
Than New Orleans music from the island of New Orleans.

Speaker 4 (01:08:44):
No, I understand that New Orleans isn't an island, though
it's quite close.

Speaker 6 (01:08:49):
I understand that. But I think that zydaco culture Hurricanes tried.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
They did.

Speaker 4 (01:08:56):
It's not for lack of trying zydeco culture and Island
culture are close, right.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
There's uh, well, they're close to each other. Sure, Josh
said that, but he didn't believe it. I know you
can't sneak that past me. That was the least interested
sure I've ever heard of my life. He just doesn't
believe it. If less interested, due to sound less interested.

(01:09:24):
This is my interested voice. That's that's what he's saying here, all.

Speaker 6 (01:09:29):
Right, at a quick break, when we can sound so
much less interested, just.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
Ask his wife, Hey, this guy, when when we come back,
here's what we're doing when we come back.

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
We got the next episode. Josh will probably go through
some stories. Will there be a j Lo story?

Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:09:47):
I don't know there is, there is sometimes there is.
There is a lot of times, if I'm honest with you,
But you never know what's going to happen next. That's
one reason why hopefully you tune in and we'll see
together that's coming up next.

Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
Something new 's Junkie, at.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
Least in some cases over in this world, record your thoughts,
your video or audio dispatches at thenewsjunkie dot com. Real quick,
let me pay off this story. They accidentally sent out
an emergency alert message in California, and everybody started freaking.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
Out about it. I don't know why, because unlike some
of the other ones where they sent out these alerts
and it was well, what was the Hawaii one, like
there's an incoming missile passhile incoming.

Speaker 4 (01:10:45):
I get it, I'd freak out. I think that's a
big giant mistake. This one said public safety message. It
was dated yesterday, and it literally says this is a
test of the South Pasadena whether alert.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
Says, that's not even a mistake. It's a test. No,
it's a test. There is no emergency. But I guess
they mistely sent the test when they weren't actually supposed
to be doing a tech. I literally didn't have to
tell anybody that. No.

Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
No, it says the message was intended to remain within
the test system. What was unintentionally transmitted to the public.
We apologize for any mistake in confusion. What would the
confusion be? How absolutely brain dead are so many people
in California that you look at your phone and see
there's a no emergency text, it's a test text, it's
a public safety message, and you're like, what.

Speaker 3 (01:11:31):
Do I do with this? I'm so scared right now?
How absolutely brain dead are you? This is like I
would look.

Speaker 4 (01:11:40):
At this and go, okay, cool, they're testing out the
emergency alert stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
I get it. I get it. People freak out because
everybody's dumb. Everybody's dumb.

Speaker 4 (01:11:49):
Sometimes KATL viewers and staff members reported receiving the message. However,
the total number of people who got the message was unclear.
The message was intended to remain within the test system,
but it wasn't, and he said it was a result
of human error, not a malfunction of the platform used
to scent the emergency alerts. We're gonna be okay, everybody,
We're gonna be okay. It literally says there is no emergency,

(01:12:11):
so I don't know what the emergency is about.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
We're gonna find out jewels.

Speaker 4 (01:12:15):
We are, We're gonna find out jewels. Indeed, now we're
gonna find out something different. Let's do the next episode.

Speaker 3 (01:12:23):
Because there's a lot on TV.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
You can't possibly keep up with all of it, even
though you should, because what else are you gonna talk about?

Yeah, this resonates with me. I'm ugly. It's time for
the next episode with Joshua Pinkman. Fowler whoa, Yeah, my
name finally after all these years, it's not coming back.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
You mean you mean that wasn't the original version or
Jokman Fowl.

Speaker 5 (01:12:50):
We only had to get through a whole roast for
me to finally get my name on the show.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
Actually, that's exactly where the audio came from.

Speaker 5 (01:12:57):
And who sponsored that roast, but none other than that

it in the song.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
I just know it.

Speaker 5 (01:13:49):
AJ McLain, the lead singer that looks like a friend
of ours weirdly enough, wants to capitalize on a viral
mashup of the old Backstreet Boys hit Everybody and a
new Taylor Swift song Elizabeth Taylor.

Speaker 3 (01:14:04):
This is the mashup that's gone viral.

Speaker 5 (01:14:13):
Apparently, AJ is just simply thrilled with that, and he
wants Taylor to join him and the Backstreet Boys at
his Vegas show at the Sphere one of these days.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Let's go. All right, Yeah, those tickets.

Speaker 5 (01:14:26):
Are already expensive enough. I can't imagine adding Taylor to
the building.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
Oh my god. Yeah, that might be a little bit pressure. Yeah,
so we'll see if that happen.

Speaker 6 (01:14:34):

to finance tickets to that show.

Boys and Taylor On Kim Kardashian Angry At Psychic Watch
twenty five, psychic Matt Fraser says that those four psychics
that she said were wrong could.

Speaker 3 (01:14:51):
Still be right.

Speaker 5 (01:14:53):
Oh no, According to Meet the Fraser's Star, Matt, I've
never heard of this guy before. The spirit world operates
on a different time frame than we do and doesn't
communicate to mediums exactly when outcomes are to occur. He
explained that it could be that she's going to pass
this exam in the future and this was just not
the time because for psychics said she would pass the

(01:15:15):
bar and she still has not done that yet.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
I cannot believe the psychics weren't right. I cannot believe it,
I know, but say perfectly still, Josh, they perfectly still
doing my best. Pretty good, right, I'm not even moving
my mouth. Oh there you go. Okay, that's quite the work,
all right, This lady, Sabrina Carpenter.

Speaker 5 (01:15:38):
Sabrina is correct, and she is going to star in
and produce a new musical based on Alice in Wonderland
for Universal.

Speaker 6 (01:15:48):
The only reason I know that Sabrina Carpenter, that SNL
skit that they always use that song for where they're
talking about the dude that the wife cheats with.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, Bil. Knowing his name would really it
would help out, really help this story here.

Speaker 6 (01:16:09):
Explain the sketch. It's something hispanic.

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
And then Chris Farley came in right and his jacket
was real tight. This this is recent.

Speaker 5 (01:16:20):
Whatever who's not dead is Antonio Brown, who was in
court in Florida this morning for the first time since
his arrest for attempted murder, where the judge ruled the
former NFL star could walk free ahead of his trial
as long as he had the bond money. This morning,
he was president at Miami Dade Courthouse as a judge
set bail at twenty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
Domingo, that's what it was, Coleman.

Speaker 5 (01:16:43):
Domingo nailed it and ordered he be put on the
most lax form of house arrest in parentheses, Level three,
I guess is the most lax form.

Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
He'll have to wear an ankle monitor. He's getting the
opposite of the Diddy treatment. Yes, he's Yeah, those are
much better for him.

Speaker 5 (01:16:59):
They're making it pretty easy on him. And June and
arrest warrant was issued, but Aby wasn't in the country.
That all changed last week when Brown was extradited from
the United Arab Emirates and sent to New Jersey, where
he spent a few days before coming back to Florida.
Antonio's lawyer argued he wasn't intending to flee and simply
went to Dubai for business and then I guess decided

(01:17:22):
to stay there for.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
Five months or so. But okay, what are you gonna
do about that?

Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
This guy that the composer John Williams stone correct, and
the Hollywood Bowl has named it stage after him.

Speaker 3 (01:17:38):
Oh cool, well deserved.

That is the home alone themes tops I used to do.
Did you you Jurassic Park? Yep, yeah, that's a good one.
Jurassic Park was Star Wars.

Speaker 5 (01:18:01):
They put Fiddler on the Roof on here for some reason,
as if that was a big deal.

Speaker 6 (01:18:05):
He got his start doing like minor TV stuff, like
the incidental music in between scenes in Gilligan's Island, like
they like finished some dumb Gilligan joke and you hear like.

Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
Like that's what he did. Yeah, that's crazy. Good for him,

types of theme songs, And there's nobody better.

Speaker 5 (01:18:38):
Five time Oscar winning composer very happy that the iconic
Hollywood Bowl stage has been named for him.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
What was the news theme that he did? There was
a really popular I don't know if it was.

Was it ABC or CNN that he yeah, composed and
conducted like the theme song for US, very iconic.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
The voice for ceingim was James Earl Jones.

Speaker 5 (01:19:03):

compose a television news music package for various network sports
I mean or network news spots, so might have been there.
He sent him a package, you know what I mean? Yeah, Yeah,
sure they love this package.

Speaker 5 (01:19:32):

Speaker 3 (01:21:53):
Just amazing. Congratulations on that. Thank you. Back in a moment,
We've got these new emails in the Epstein world. What
are those all about?

Speaker 4 (01:22:01):
A very awkward interaction that's got six million views?

Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
What is everybody reacting to? And a whole lot more.

Speaker 4 (01:22:08):
Honestly, it's a Wednesday that you don't want to miss,
so stick with us because that's all coming.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
Up next on the news junk Kie.

Speaker 4 (01:22:30):
Mean time, So send a dispatch record yours now at
thenewschunkie dot com. Allegedly they're winding down this government shutdown.
The shutdown is shutting down. It's over with. They're done
with this stuff. And then we learned yesterday that they
were squeaking in some completely unrelated nonsense from allegedly the
liquor companies and their K Street lobbyists.

Speaker 6 (01:22:54):
And hurry up with at least the shutdown part, because
we're still like sweating over this flight.

Speaker 3 (01:23:01):
I gotta take next week.

Speaker 6 (01:23:03):
And old Sean Duffy I said, oh, yeah, the government's
gonna be turned back on, but we don't know. The
flights might still not be right.

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
And and I hear see Lane, you can't even buy
your way out of it, because they said private flights
are also impacted by this stuff. THEA is like.

Speaker 4 (01:23:22):
You're still using FA resources, so even if you're flying private,
it can still delay your flight.

Speaker 6 (01:23:28):
Yeah, but that depends on what airport you're flying in
and out of. The FAA is not slowing down flights
at the executive Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
Mean, I think you're gonna be fine. You got enough time.

Speaker 4 (01:23:39):
They're working on the shutdown being stopped probably in a
couple of days here, if not. The vote going through
today and then it takes a little time to like
unwind everything from there. But they snuck in this thing
about THHC and hemp products in the government shutdown at

(01:23:59):
the last minute, and there's there's some good news about this,
all right. The first thing that I think is good
news about this is if it does go through. And
part of this has this help band that would get
rid of all the THC drinks at your liquor store
that you might have been enjoying. Like me, I think
they're great. I think they help you drink less alcohol,

(01:24:21):
I mean, drink a bunch of alcohol. I think they
help you sleep if you have problems sleep in there
nice little body buzz.

Speaker 3 (01:24:30):
It's different from being drunk, but it's still kind of
kind of nice. And you're right, it does does nicely
put me down.

Speaker 4 (01:24:37):
And I when I've tried all these other things to
get sleep, I find that everything has a problem, like melatonin.
Your dreams are weird and they suck. You don't feel
great when you wake up. Everything has a thing. But
the THHC drinks, the ones that I have, they're called nowadays.
I only have half a can, which is five milligrams.
It's not that much at all, but it is like

(01:24:59):
this beautiful thing that just gently sends me off the sleep,
and I swear by it. And now they try to
work this in because of the liquor lobby and they're
trying to shut down these THHD drinks. So the good
news is, even if this does go through, it doesn't
take effect for one calendar year. That's one thing that

(01:25:19):
I saw that was good news. It doesn't take effect
for one year, So I would imagine that they'll be
able to sort that out.

Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
That seems like something very.

Speaker 4 (01:25:27):
Much designed, by the way, by Washington, where they tell
the liquor lobby people, sure, we'll work in a ban
on this thing that basically shuts down these THCHC drink companies.
Will do that that benefits the liquor companies, but we'll
delay it for a year to give those companies three
hundred and sixty five days to get their own lobbyists
to also give us a whole bunch of money so

(01:25:49):
we can roll this back.

Speaker 3 (01:25:50):
That's that's how Washington works.

Speaker 4 (01:25:53):
And when you hear me say K Street, I'm talking
about the literal street in Washington where all.

Speaker 3 (01:25:58):
These high dollar lobbyists exists.

Speaker 4 (01:26:00):
iHeartRadio, the very company that pays our salaries, they have lobbyists.
The radio industry has lobbyists. The everything that Hollywood has lobbyists,
anything that's big enough to The Jews have lobbyists, the
Muslims have lobbyists. Josh Fowler has lobbyists.

Speaker 3 (01:26:17):
Everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:26:18):
He's got five lobbyists people, everybody's got them. And now
they've tried to make a change here. But we're watching
to see when the vote goes down here in a
bit and that would technically end the government shutdown, and
then hopefully the most important thing of this is that
the THHD drinks aren't affected.

Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
Fingers crossed on that. Also, you know, in that year
other changes can be made. We can, you know, we can,
we could, we could just go full what do you
call it, recreational. They worry about it. That could happen.
So the year thing is nice, The year thing is good.
I like that.

Speaker 4 (01:26:55):
I hope that they roll this back because I think
it's an overall net good for most Americans. But and
I kid to say that this is the most important
thing in it. But obviously the government shutdown is going
to be rolled back here very very soon. Meanwhile, another
thing that we're looking at today, and we'll go on
a couple of different fund routes here momentarily, but I'm

(01:27:16):
bringing up the CNN story about these new allegedly newly
released Epstein emails. Uh oh Epstein, and CNN says this
in the headline. Epstein mentioned Trump multiple times in private emails.
New release shows, So the emails are obviously not new.

Speaker 3 (01:27:35):
Epstein is dead.

Speaker 4 (01:27:36):
Whether you believe he offed himself or not, that's a
whole different question.

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
But he is definitely dead.

Speaker 4 (01:27:41):
The emails are not new, but they've been released by
these Democrats in the House Oversight Committee. Now, this says,
here's the story from CNM. Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex
offender who's death by suicide has spawned intense scrutiny of
the high profile people he knew, mentioned Donald Trump by
name multiple times.

Speaker 6 (01:28:00):
This is rather the nicer, one of the nicer ways
I've heard Jeffrey Epstein introduced in news stories. Some of
them just are like, uh, renowned pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, all.

Speaker 3 (01:28:14):
The things you want to be renowned for that.

Speaker 6 (01:28:15):
And we go ruthless with some of the ways they
introduced him, and fine, like, I'm not mad about it
at all.

Speaker 4 (01:28:23):
Yeah, convicted sex offenders, what they use here? He mentioned
Donald Trump by name multiple times in private correspondence over
the last fifteen years with an associate and author in
Trump's orbit, they said, according to newly released emails from
the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, now a couple
of things that are wishy washing on the truth here,
but let's get into it. The emails to longtime Epstein

(01:28:45):
associate Glaine Maxwell, who is convicted of sex trafficking after
his death, and the author Michael Wolfe include conversations and whip,
which Epstein asserts Trump spent significant time with a woman
whom Oversight Democrats describe as a victim of Epstein's sex trafficking.
So the first thing I want to tackle is an
author in Trump's orbit, all right? The story says this

(01:29:09):
was correspondence with an author in Trump's orbit.

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
I don't know how you feel when you hear that,
but I usually feel like an author in Trump's orbit
means that this is somebody that likes him, that this
is somebody that's like in his world, and somebody that
supports him. That couldn't be further from the truth. The
author they name him is Michael wolf He's a journalist,

(01:29:33):
a muckracker type who gets.

Speaker 4 (01:29:35):
Involved in stories like this. And Michael Wolfe was emailing
with Jeffrey Epstein. Both of these people, by the way,
are not ideologically aligned with Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
They're both Democrats.

Speaker 4 (01:29:46):
Michael Wolfe and in Epstein was a huge Democratic donor
at the time. They were working together to see how
they could make Trump look bad. That was what was
happening in these emails. Let's see if the CNI says
it that way. The emails a long time Epstein associate
Galla Maxwell and author Michael Wolfe include conversations in which

(01:30:08):
Epstein asserts Trump spent significant time with a woman who
they describe as a victim of the trafficking. I think
that was the woman who worked at mar A Lago.
The emails will also include a message in which Epstein
asserted Trump quote knew about the girls, seemingly in reference
to Trump's claim that he kicked Epstein out of his
mar A Lago club for poaching young women who worked there.

(01:30:29):
According to the newly released emails, so that doesn't really
seem bad to me. Maybe that's just me if Trump
knew about the girls. But he's saying, yeah, he knew
about the girls, which is why he kicked Epstein out
of mar A Lago for him taking these young women
and poaching them over to his estate. The emails were
released Wednesday, and they were obtained after subpoenaing the Epstein

(01:30:50):
estate earlier this year. Trump did not receive or send
any of the messages which predated his time as president,
and he's not been accusing of any criminal wrongdoing. These
stories are blah buh buh. Wolf told CNN, I don't
quite remember the context, but I was engaged in an
in depth conversation with him about his relationship with Trump.
That seems to be part of the conversation. And then

(01:31:11):
they release some of the emails here between Gallaine Maxwell
and everybody else involved. In one email, it says, I
want you to realize, this was Epstein to Gallaine Maxwell.
I want you to realize that that dog hasn't barked.
I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't
barked is Trump redacted. Spent hours at my house with him.

(01:31:35):
He never once has been mentioned police chief, et cetera.
I'm seventy five percent there, and Gallainne Maxwell said, I've
been thinking about that.

Speaker 3 (01:31:44):
I don't know what the hell that means.

Speaker 4 (01:31:45):
I mean, I don't there's not a lot of context
to it, So I don't even know what that means.
They're talking about Virginia Giuffrey, who worked at mar A Lago.
Her father was a maintenance worker at mar A Lago,
got her a job as a locker room attendant, and
she said Trump couldn't have been friendlier, said you know
that he liked her and was nice to her and stuff.

(01:32:06):
But then Epstein was stealing the young girls from Marlago
and that's what caused a rift between the two. So
I don't know if there's anything like really super weird
in here. It's just stuff that does happen to mention
Epstein and Trump, and Epstein was mentioning Trump by name.
But let me know if you had a different take
on this or what you think of it. Sent over

(01:32:26):
a dispatch at the Newsjunkie dot com and we'll tackle
that when it comes. Yeah, the most interesting stuff back
and forth is this journalist Michael Wolfe, who was saying, hey,
the CNN Republican primary debate there afterwards, going to mention you,
he said this to Epstein, if we were able to

(01:32:47):
craft an answer for him, what do you think it
should be? According to this cmail, Wolfe said, I think
you should let him hang himself of Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:32:54):
If he, excuse me, he says he hasn't been on
a plane or to the house. That gives you a
valuable pr political currency. You can hang him in a
way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or
hang him, or if it really looks like he could win,
you could save him generating a debt. Of course, it's
possible that when asked, he'll say, Jeffrey is a great
guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a

(01:33:15):
victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed by
the Trump regime.

Speaker 6 (01:33:18):
And that's how Jeffrey Epstein got the idea.

Speaker 3 (01:33:21):
Ah, I'll keep that in mind.

Speaker 5 (01:33:24):
Hey, I know what I can do with this.

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:33:30):
You know what is interesting to me reading these emails.
Not only did Jeffrey Epstein have a Gmail, which seems
like it makes him seem like such a normal person,
you know, using a Gmail. But he's one of those
people who and I think we've definitely talked about this
with Moses more than once. But he finishes his email
with the information contained in this communication is confidential. Maybe

(01:33:53):
attorney client privilege may constitute inside information and is intended
only for the use of the address. See it is
the property of jay E. Unauthorized use, disclosure, or copying

Speaker 4 (01:34:18):
Is that like the Facebook post that you own the
rights to all these images?

Speaker 3 (01:34:22):
And yeah, it's Zacherberg.

Speaker 6 (01:34:25):
But I think when we've talked with this, about with
Moses about this, it's like, what you're trying to do
by putting this text at the end of an email
is like forcing somebody into some agreement or contract that
they won't release anything that's in the email, which I
don't think you know, you can just force somebody into

(01:34:46):
an agreement like that.

Speaker 4 (01:34:48):
No, that seems weird. Put that on the list, though,
Let's ask mo. We'll ask him again. Yeah, let's ask
him again. Let's say what we forgot your response.

Speaker 6 (01:34:56):
But what I mean in this particular case, I I
think I knows what his response may be as it
relates to Jeffrey Epstein. If he's trying to put this
at the end of an email, just to be like, whoa.

Speaker 3 (01:35:09):
Whoa, whoa.

Speaker 6 (01:35:10):
If there are any attachments in here that aren't quite savory,
don't they happen to go to the wrong person. You
must destroy them and not send them to the authorities
whom I probably already have control of anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:35:24):
Like if some rando emailed me and they had some
just shocking news attached to the email, but then they
had that little piece of information like Nope, you must
destroy this, blah blah blah blah blah. I feel like
I could just ignore it. I think that I can
ignore that. I might be wrong about that and might
find myself as some legal trouble. We'll find out.

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
At some point in time here in the near future.

Speaker 4 (01:35:47):
Unfettered says Sean, talks like these two really didn't hang
out or knew each other. I mean, the videos and
pictures really don't lie. Who's suggesting that you're fighting a shadow,
my friend? I have no idea what you're talking about.
There is obviously photos showing Epstein and Trump hanging out
with each other, But if we're here to say that

(01:36:07):
that is evidence of some of nefarious stuff I have
bad news for you on the Clinton front as well,
my friend, because Jeffrey Epstein was a billionaire, he was
a political donor. He was hobnobbin with all sorts of
famous people, famous politicians and big wigs all the way
up to the royal family, as.

Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
You know from Andrew and everything going on, and a.

Speaker 4 (01:36:31):
Lot of these people liked him, A lot of these
people disliked him. He seemed to not get along with
Trump that well, he seemed to not really get on
with him, and Trump booted him out of mar A Lago.

Speaker 3 (01:36:41):
That much is true, and you see that in these emails.

Speaker 4 (01:36:44):
So I don't know if it's the dunk that you're
thinking it is, but yeah, I mean there are photos
of the two of them together, so clearly they knew
each other. That's absolutely true. I don't know what that means,
but clearly that is true. Emails coming in on this
and many other things tips of the New com Meanwhile,
would you do this? Would you do this? Joshua Fowler?

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
I don't want to answer before I know what it is.
I'll tell you first that makes more sense.

Speaker 4 (01:37:11):
Let's say, doctors tell you and I don't want this
to happen to you at all.

Speaker 6 (01:37:15):
I thought when you said I'll tell you first, you
were just going to tell him he would do it. Josh,
you would at do this. I don't know if he
would be okay with this, honestly.

Speaker 3 (01:37:23):
See.

Speaker 4 (01:37:23):
But let's say a doctor said, and I don't want
the doctor to give you this info. But the doctor says, Josh,
we need to perform a surgery on you. The surgery
is going to help you out big time and make
you feel better for the rest of your life. And
you say, okay, good, all right, I trust the doctors,
but I need this, this surgery. And then they said,
the good news is we can do it right now.

(01:37:46):
The news you might not be comfortable with is the
doctor is not here.

Speaker 3 (01:37:50):
The doctor is going to do this remotely, and in
this case, doctors from the US and UK have performed
the world's first ever remote controlled surgery. Surgeons in Scotland
used a robot to remove a blood clot and a
human cadaver that was located at a university facility all
the way across the city.

Speaker 4 (01:38:11):
Hours later, in over four thousand miles away in Jacksonville, Florida,
a doctor used the groundbreaking technology to operate on the
same body. So they're like they were passing off this
long distance technology. Doctors in Scotland were working on this
cadaver and removing this blood clot and then they handed
it off digitally to somebody in Jacksonville, Florida, and doctor

(01:38:35):
Ricardo Hanel he used the Yeah, doctor Hanel, he used
the technology to operate on the very same body.

Speaker 3 (01:38:44):
Science fiction turns to reality. Man did it? This is
not new.

Speaker 5 (01:38:49):
This is new robots, But they never really operated them
from a distance.

Speaker 4 (01:38:54):
I don't know they well, they've never there have been
a robots. There have been remoteeries.

Speaker 3 (01:39:00):
I think. I think ceiling fact check this. If you can't.

Speaker 6 (01:39:03):
I have performed remote surgery on an operation game, that
doesn't count. It's not even close. This, I think the
same machine.

Speaker 4 (01:39:14):
I think it might be unique because they were able
to like work in conjunction with each other, and they
were working as a team another.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
Yeah, kind of in a way.

Speaker 5 (01:39:24):
If your internet goes out while you're doing the surgery.

Speaker 3 (01:39:27):
That's why you meet multiple doctors connected. I guess so
you think I get mad when there's internet issues. Oh God,
if you're trying to remove an organ or something and
the internet starts dumping out. I can't put the rest
of this body in best of No. No, you could try, though,
and I might.

Speaker 4 (01:39:45):
When we come back, a man learned something really shocking
about his prize possession, and you're going to hear how
he reacts when all hell breaks loose. That is coming
up next on the news. Junk Ki put that in

(01:40:14):
the email. See Leonard, are you still pushing this Pluribus
show on people? Is that what's happening on school?

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
Mike? Well, I don't. Like.

Speaker 6 (01:40:20):
We were talking about it and I was actually asking
people what they were watching, and a couple of people
were saying, watch Pluribus and I was like, oh, I'm
already there.

Speaker 3 (01:40:30):
It's really good.

Speaker 6 (01:40:31):
Yeah, I like immediately wanted to rewatch the first two
episodes after I watched them.

Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
You know, it is starting to get a lot of traction.

Speaker 4 (01:40:40):
I don't know if Courtney's gonna want to watch this
or not, but it is starting to get enough traction.
So it's on my radar, all right, probably have to
watch this at some point in time. Currently, we're watching
something that I thought we would never watch, but we
watched all dick uh fair enough, but the uh you.

Speaker 3 (01:41:05):
Had your glory. You had your glory.

Speaker 5 (01:41:08):
Like those Japanese soldiers that lived in the jungle and
never admitted the war ended.

Speaker 3 (01:41:13):
Yeah, you're like, I always bring this up and you're
like the bit Will Ferrell did on SNL where they
were doing the attack ads against each other the politicians
were and Will Ferrell won, but still years later he's
still doing attack ads against the guy that he beat,
and the guy's like, you won. What's going on? I'm sorry?
Is that not exactly what's happening now? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:41:34):
Basically, yeah, that's what you're saying through That's that's what
I'm getting out here. But anyhow, the Plurabis show, it's
on my radar. We're gonna watch it, but we're watching
that dramatized version of the Murdoch, the Alec Murdoch okay,
the attorney who killed his family.

Speaker 6 (01:41:54):
Is it worth watching because we like knowing what we
know and watching the first one like this one. Obviously
it's a it's a drama, so it's acted out. I
think so, because the acting is so good. The way
they put it together is really good. You're not going
to really learn anything new. If you already saw the
docu series, you'll know about Alec Murda being a corrupt attorney,

(01:42:17):
and you'll know about his drug problems and his son
and all those issues. Have you two questions are coming
to mind? First of all, have you seen them take
any artistic license with the story? Like have you seen
anything go down in the show where he went? Well,
I watched the documentary and that doesn't add up.

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
It's not the same.

Speaker 4 (01:42:35):
The one thing I questioned, they made it like he
was hiding his drug habit, which I'm sure he was, right,
famous attorney, the main murder guy, Alec Murder, the main
attorney dude. They made it like he was hiding his
massive pill addiction that he was spending all his money on.
But he was hiding it in like a Zin tin.

Speaker 3 (01:42:59):
And I've said, I don't know if Zen was out
when this guy had this stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:43:05):
Maybe they were kind of pretending it was a tobacco
thing or.

Speaker 3 (01:43:08):
Yeah, the zen container looks like a can of dip, right.

Speaker 4 (01:43:13):
Yeah, But it just for some reason, it comes off
as if it's the it's a like a zin container
in this just the way it opens a little bit
more seems like that instead of a perfect separation, there's
like a little cut in there, and I thought that
was weird. But mostly it seems really accurate and fair
to the story and the acting like the sun Oh god,

(01:43:35):
he's a really good actor.

Speaker 3 (01:43:37):
The dad.

Speaker 6 (01:43:38):
Second question, much like the documentary, do they have like
four different ways of saying that last name? Because when
we watched the documentary, it was Murda they talked about,
or Myrta. I mean, there was seemed to be very
many ways that people would say this.

Speaker 3 (01:43:56):
That comes up.

Speaker 4 (01:43:57):
It's not totally all out yet, but a fair and
says so I can skip this one.

Speaker 3 (01:44:01):
The document was great. If you liked it and you
like those kind of.

Speaker 4 (01:44:07):
Dramatic shows, then it's worth watching this because the acting
really is that good.

Speaker 3 (01:44:12):
It's it's fun to watch.

Speaker 4 (01:44:14):
I mean, you ever see those shows where when you're
watching it makes you want to drink because people are
partying and stuff in the show.

Speaker 3 (01:44:20):
It's one of those shows.

Speaker 4 (01:44:22):
I'm sitting down and we're watching, I'm like, eh, I
know this is supposed to encourage me not to want
to do bad stuff, but it's.

Speaker 3 (01:44:28):
Kind of making me want to try this out a
little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:44:32):
That was good, But people keep going with Seling here
on this pluribis show from the creators of Breaking Bad,
and I told you the like, the two sentence outline
of it just sounded miserable to me.

Speaker 3 (01:44:47):
But I'm being assured that it's not miserable, that it
is actually good.

Speaker 6 (01:44:52):
I think they were trying to be very vague about
what the show was going to be about when they
wrote that little lurb about because you're right, it doesn't
sound like I even read it before the show, and
I go, I don't know about this, but I believe
in Vince Gilligan, and I really like Rhea Seahorn. She

(01:45:12):
was fantastic and better call Saul, and so I'm definitely
gonna give this a shot. Yeah, And we sat down
to watch it over the weekend and.

Speaker 3 (01:45:23):
It was really good.

Speaker 6 (01:45:24):
The first episode was like really spooky and you don't know,
you're trying to figure out in your head what's going on.
There's a weird countdown that keeps showing on the screen
every now and then, and then it gets really odd,
really scary, not really scary.

Speaker 3 (01:45:42):
Is the whole thing out right now? No?

Speaker 6 (01:45:45):
No, only two episodes are out. Episode three is called Grenade,
and it drops on Friday.

Speaker 4 (01:45:52):
Oh okay, I'm gonna have to get on board with this.
We're gonna have to watch it at some point in time.
But there's a watching eleven different shows at once. But
we'll work.

Speaker 6 (01:46:00):
I don't want to spoil it for you, but one
thing that has happened is, like I think, I try
to explain this on Monday, Ashley and I are now
divided on how we would approach this situation where we
put in the shoes of the main character and she
is on the I want to save the world front

(01:46:21):
and I would not save the world and no, no,
Ashley is on the I want to save the world's front,
and I am on the What can I do? How
can I make this situation the best for me? I
want to party, I want to do things. I want
to just milk as much as I can out of

(01:46:43):
this situation.

Speaker 3 (01:46:44):
And there is heard of America first, this is Sea
Land first, well specific, and there are other characters in
the show that that are are more my side. I
kind of side with them, even though there there are
some questions about some of the things they do. You'll
get it when you start sound like.

Speaker 4 (01:47:01):
Different viewpoints are showcased in the feature itself, Yes, which
I like, I like that kind of stuff. I like
when it's not all just like some one sided stupid thing.

Speaker 6 (01:47:12):
You might find yourself going, oh, you know, I think
I would more want to do this, and Courtney would
be like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:47:19):
That's crazy? You should want to do that. That's where
we we're at. I think I'm probably going to side
with you.

Speaker 4 (01:47:23):
I think it would be on like what can happen
for me in this circumstance?

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
How can we make this better? But when we come back,
we'll get to you.

Speaker 4 (01:47:32):
A bunch of people emailing the show. I want to
hit up those emails before Jury Duty, and then inside
Jury Duty we'll get to some people who just signed
AI deals that I think are out of their mind,
a dad who jumped from his car with three kids
in the backseat. And an update on that eighteen year
old who died on a Carnival cruise ship. All of

(01:47:52):
that and more coming up next on The News Junkie.
Learn more about the show, go to thenewsjunkie dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:48:16):
A couple of things before Jerry Duty. This is just
breaking moments ago, big news rolling in in the money world. Everybody,
let's listen in.

Speaker 13 (01:48:23):
Nara for the penny. The Treasury Department is phasing out
the one cent coin after more than two hundred years.
It's got a lot of sentimentality in this. I think
fox businesses is that this in Philly. One of my
first trips with my parents was to a compromind.

Speaker 3 (01:48:41):
Don't care about your personal story.

Speaker 4 (01:48:43):
The US Mint has announced that they are stopping production
as of right now today of the penny. The penny
is rip. It will be no more, and the US
men has said see you later. The thing is, I wonder, like,
what about the very last one of the production line.

(01:49:06):
Is that worth a bunch of money?

Speaker 3 (01:49:08):
Is it? Or any one? Is it only worth one cent?
Is that all we're gonna get?

Speaker 6 (01:49:15):
I think somebody you know puts it in a case,
puts it in a plaque something, you know, it gets
hung up at the mint. This is the very last
penny ever made.

Speaker 3 (01:49:25):
It probably does right, very last one off of the
off the shelf. I mean, you're the Mint. You could
just make one more penny.

Speaker 4 (01:49:32):
They could if they wanted to, but they're stopping. The
US Mint in Philadelphia has set up depressed for the
final penny as the one cent coin has been canceled.

Speaker 3 (01:49:44):
It looks like Josh is just really excited.

Speaker 4 (01:49:46):
About this, because you know who are It looks frozen
on Josh just really excited about And.

Speaker 3 (01:49:53):
I've been trying to get rid of this penny for
so long.

Speaker 4 (01:49:56):
It's that so happy that webcam always does this. I
don't know there's a webcam that makes everything freeze anyhow.

Speaker 3 (01:50:02):
So that's happening right now.

Speaker 4 (01:50:04):
The us men has decided they're printing their final penny.
That's that before jury duty. Let me work in this
because I mentioned it earlier. A man in Perth is
very very upset. He loved his new Audie and he
parked at and I don't know if you guys have
ever used one of these. In big cities, a lot
of times you'll have these parking machines and you you like,

(01:50:25):
put your car in there, and then you like, you
can recall your car, almost like a Carvana thing, and
then you'll bring down your car that you parked in
the parking garage. And that could be fine, It could
be entertaining even to stack cars like that, but sometimes
not so much because this guy's sitting there waiting for

(01:50:46):
his beautiful Audi, his prize possession.

Speaker 3 (01:50:48):
When all hell breaks this. Watch this.

Speaker 14 (01:50:50):
Here we go all right, seven point thirty in the morning,
Danny is waiting for his car at his Perth apartment block.

Speaker 3 (01:50:57):
Oh no, this is this. Oh damn man, it just
dropped his car from this guy.

Speaker 4 (01:51:06):
He's sitting there waiting for his car to come down
in the parking garage.

Speaker 3 (01:51:10):
Have you ever used one like this? He land, no,
but I think they have some of these.

Speaker 6 (01:51:13):
And I want to say Miami, where you have a
high rise and you have a condo or an apartment
and that's how you park your car. They do this
little like not conveyor belt system, but it's it's almost
like those vending machines where the thing comes up and
gets your soda from the exact level that it's all yeah, yeah,

(01:51:35):
it comes out that it has that whole system of
movement there.

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
Yeah. So you bring your car to the parking garage.
Job at explaining that me excellent, all that.

Speaker 4 (01:51:46):
And they put your car in let's say, like D four,
and then your car goes into D four and this
guy goes to get.

Speaker 3 (01:51:52):
His Audi out of D four and it just drops it.
From this down in the.

Speaker 14 (01:51:56):
Series, waiting for his car at his Perth apartment then this.

Speaker 3 (01:52:02):
Watching that car full down, that sound was terrifying.

Speaker 14 (01:52:06):
His four week old Audi fell around ten weeks a
rite off.

Speaker 3 (01:52:12):
This happened almost seven weeks ago.

Speaker 14 (01:52:15):
Danny says no one has claimed responsibility since then.

Speaker 3 (01:52:19):
I have yet to receive any compensation.

Speaker 14 (01:52:21):
In The Strata insurance company blamed a faulty sensor, saying
the platform failed to descend correctly.

Speaker 3 (01:52:29):
And something happens in a car fail.

Speaker 4 (01:52:32):
Yeah, well it's descended, just not corapidly, the rapid dissension,
and this guy is not happy with that.

Speaker 3 (01:52:40):
Obviously.

Speaker 4 (01:52:41):
I'll put this up on See It now here in
just a moment Atterfecto has to be super annoying.

Speaker 6 (01:52:47):
To live in a place like that, you would have
to know, like when you're leaving your car you have
everything you're gonna need, because if you forget something, you're
going to go back to the car elevator, summon your
car again, and then put it back in.

Speaker 3 (01:53:03):
I wonder how much they charge for that.

Speaker 4 (01:53:05):
I don't trust this, but car elevator fail is what
I'm putting this up as on See It now or
on the news junky dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:53:13):
Go take a peek.

Speaker 4 (01:53:13):
You'll see exactly what we're talking about this guy, as
you can imagine, was not very thrilled with what happened
in this case, and that is now posted on the
News Junkie and the see it now section.

Speaker 3 (01:53:24):
Right now here goes nothing. Let's do jury duty. Court
is now in session, so put.

Speaker 1 (01:53:30):
Your phone down and pay attention before we call the
bailiff over to whip your ass your knowing jury duty
with the News Junkie.

Speaker 3 (01:53:36):
Jury Duty brought to you by the one the only
moduit of the Duit Law Firm. Injured on the go,
just call MO eight hundred, CALLMO eight hundred, Call MOO,
or go to justcall Mote dot com after an accident.
You have lots of attorneys that are looking for.

Speaker 4 (01:53:50):
Your attention, but this is the one who I think
you should really rely on. MO is great and he's
gonna help you out, So reach out after the accident
eight hundred, CALLMO or just call MOT. A father is
in some trouble and probably not feeling so hot. He
jumped out of the driver's seat of a moving vehicle
on a highway in Washington County, Florida, with three children

(01:54:13):
in the car with him. The kids were in the
back of the car, calling nine to one one. They
were dialing nine to one one saying, my dad is
acting strange. Something is not going right here. And then
after Pops tucked and rolled out of the vehicle at
full speed, one of the passengers, later identified as Heather Searcy,

(01:54:35):
was able to crawl over the center console. She got
control of the vehicle, and she was able to bring
the vehicle to a stop and get the children out,
thank God.

Speaker 3 (01:54:44):
But this family, who recently moved to Florida from Louisiana,
said something went wrong. They don't know exactly what happened
with this guy, but he jumped from the moving vehicle,
leaving his three kids inside. Also, they signed a deal.

Speaker 4 (01:55:00):
I don't know how I feel about this, but Matthew
McConaughey and Michael Caine have locked in contracts to give
their voices over to a I and eleven Labs. We've
toyed with their stuff a little bit, yes, in the past.
Eleven Labs have this, and there's a.

Speaker 3 (01:55:19):
Whole bunch of Matthew McConaughey voices done in eleven Labs.

Speaker 4 (01:55:23):
Probably all right, all right, all right, is like ninety
percent of the voice productions that these things will crank out.
But Matthew McConaughey and Michael Kain, who is from Batman. Yeah,
is that right?

Speaker 3 (01:55:36):
Alfred from another great voice.

Speaker 4 (01:55:40):
Oh that's a little bit like Dobe once again from
from Harry Potter.

Speaker 3 (01:55:44):
But it's it's so that's a great voice, isn't it.
And those two signed.

Speaker 4 (01:55:49):
Deals with eleven Labs over at the AI side of things,
and groups are now coming together to remember this eighteen
year old Anna Kepner who died on this Arnival cruise
ship that returned to Port Miami over the weekend. They
have not revealed the exact cause of death just yet.
The Medical Examiner's office in Miami Dade would have probably

(01:56:11):
released some information, but the spokesperson was off for a
holiday this week, so they don't know when they're going
to get this. There's so many people with Yeah, Veterans
Day holiday kept the spokesperson off, and they haven't said
anything since this weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:56:29):
So everybody wants to know, what is it? What is
it that happened here, which one of these theories is correct, drugs, murder,
what was it? Chaos on the high seas, But a
lot of eyeballs around the world at this point our
focus on this eighteen year old and we'll keep that
story tracked until we find out exactly what happened on
that cruise ship.

Speaker 4 (01:56:50):
Right now, though, what we're going to do is this,
We're going to take a quick break. When we come back.
We're to do the power hour of the show, the
final hour on a tumultuous Wednesday, and we are going
to find out where your head's at because it's time
to get in some feedback. Dispatches are up next, and
a fight on a plane will also get into that.

Speaker 15 (01:57:07):
It's all coming up next on the News Junkie.

Speaker 3 (01:57:25):
So the show over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Here you go.
This is real.

Speaker 4 (01:57:32):
It's real, and I want to know which of the
three of us, myself, Seelander Josh would win. That's the
question that I have for you today. First thing you
need to know is this is real. And the second
thing you need to know is I want to know
from you is would I be the best of this
sea Lander Josh. This is happening right now. I guess

(01:57:55):
in Las Vegas. I believe there's an event that's going on.
It's the Olympic of Housework. It's this is this is
This is over ceilings forfeiting. He's not gonna, not gonna
win this.

Speaker 3 (01:58:09):
He doesn't think you'd see Olympics of housekeeping. I could
see here. This is at the Mandalay Bay. It's in
like straight up an arena. And here's some of the
example action going on right. These are These are people
fighting to see who's fastest and completely making a bed.
I imagine they work in hospitality in Las Vegas. That

(01:58:30):
would be my guess. Yeah, these people are vacuuming a
competition of who can vacuum everything up the fastest. You
give him the smallest little rug to vacuum, yeah, and
they cover it with like glitter and you have to
clean it up there. Look, this isn't like an arena.
I don't know. There's lots of open seats just so
you know, there's a lot of open seas at bays.

(01:58:51):
Let's same place they would have like a boxing match movie. Yeah,
like UFC would be fighting in this place. So this
one is about vacuuming. Lady on the end looks like
she's doing quite well. Here it's done. Then you got
to wrap up the cord. This I don't know what
this is. They're throwing these things that they have to
catch to each other. But I don't know how that's

(01:59:11):
related to housekeeping. I have frisbees, giant frisbees that they
have to catch on like sticks. That doesn't seem related
to this is related to housekeeper MOP challenge MOP challenging.
You got to go around and weave through all of
the wet floor signs that you could find. I gotta
know what the prize is for this.

Speaker 6 (01:59:28):
I think one of these guys skipped one.

Speaker 3 (01:59:31):
You should be a one of the referees on this
sea line and just be brutal. All these are fine
little flour waxers and they're racing them like Zamboni's.

Speaker 4 (01:59:42):
They're challenging each other with these. I want to get
involved in this for God's sake.

Speaker 3 (01:59:47):
That looks kind of funny.

Speaker 4 (01:59:49):
And what are the prizes? Let's learn more. This is
the housekeeping Olympics house This.

Speaker 6 (01:59:54):
Is not just housework. Housekeeping as far as like a
hotel is involved. Yeah, because you said houseworking, I was thinking, well,
I might be good at like the dishes challenge. You know,
I'm pretty of fishing at dishes, probably right at a bar.
They make it super easy to do dishes at the bar. Yeah,

(02:00:16):
what about making a bet? You think you can compete.

Speaker 3 (02:00:18):
On a high level of No, No, it's very impressive.
This is the Housekeeping Olympics at the Issa Show in
North America. It's going on right now.

Speaker 4 (02:00:32):
I don't see anything about what you get, but it
says why enter a team showcase team excellence, elevate your staff, etcetera, etcetera.
That's got all the previous winners. I want to know
what I win. I better get a prize or something.
You're no, that ain't gonna do it for me, Josh,

(02:00:52):
I need like I need the big check. I need
a big check if I'm gonna win at Mandalay Bay. Oh,
there's one where you throw toilet paper into a trash
can across the I'd go across the venue. You like
this toilet paper basketball. I might do okay at that.
I might do okay at that. Let us know if
you have a special skill that would make you excel

(02:01:13):
at this in the Housekeeping Olympics. It is going down
right now at the michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.

Speaker 3 (02:01:20):
It seems like the whole show is cleaning.

Speaker 6 (02:01:23):
I still haven't been able to see what Issa stands
for Buz.

Speaker 4 (02:01:29):
Let's see hold on the Association for Cleaning and Family
Solutions Issa, and they have. This is just part of
what they do. Participate past champions, Yeah, the same stuff.
How much would this even cost? They're not even telling
me how much it costs online. This is one of
those things where you have to be in the industry

(02:01:50):
to go to it, and you have.

Speaker 3 (02:01:51):
To be involved. It's a convention.

Speaker 4 (02:01:54):
Yeah, it's a convention where it's like, no weirdos from
the outside, get in.

Speaker 6 (02:01:57):
International Sanitary Supply Association BDMX con on Twitch says, no awards,
just more cleaning.

Speaker 4 (02:02:07):
Congratulations, since you had such a fun time doing that,
Get back to work, get your ass back out there,
all right over to it. Tips at the news junkie
dot com. Tips at the news junki dot com. Tim
emails the show and he says an author in Trump's orbit,
which was what was mentioned in the new Epstein email
release thing an author in Trump's orbit means that he

(02:02:29):
was just around Trump. It has nothing to do with
liking him or disliking him. I think Tim, the connotation
of saying that somebody's in another person's orbit. It doesn't
have to but I think there's a slight implication that
it's somebody friendly to that person. When I hear orbiters used,
especially in the streaming world or something, it's usually people

(02:02:49):
who are close to a person, and usually there's some
sort of implication that they're they're they're friendly with this person.
I don't think it has to mean that just traditionally,
but I'm saying there are some people who use it
that way. But my point is Wolf the authoring question
is not a fan of Trump. He's not a journalist
who has aligned with him. Joe says the Tips at

(02:03:10):
the News Junkie dot Com.

Speaker 3 (02:03:12):
You just said you didn't think it was a big
deal that Epstein poached young girls from mar A Lago. Uh,
why are there young girls at marl Lago?

Speaker 4 (02:03:20):
Joe says the tips at the News Junkie dot Com.
I have some news for you, Joe. Young girls work,
They get jobs. They work at places. Yes, yes, the
Chick fil A around the corner, the McDonald's, and the
Tackle Bell all employ young girls.

Speaker 6 (02:03:41):
Believe it or not. Yes, well, you say that makes sense.
Everything's on the up and up with Chick fil A.

Speaker 3 (02:03:46):
Guys. Young girls work here. If I go to the
front door of mcdonald' do you hire young girls? That
sounds creepy, But just if you have a business and
there's a teenage girl who works there that doesn't, that's
not creepy by default. That doesn't just automatically have to
be creepy in my opinion. And let's go over to this.

(02:04:07):
Here's Melanie emailing this show. She says, I usually listen
every day.

Speaker 4 (02:04:10):
I haven't heard you mention a situation I've been seeing
all over Instagram all week long. There's a lady named
Tish who was a customer at a Gold's gym in California.

Speaker 3 (02:04:19):
She's a black, lesbian woman. She had just come out
of the shower and was butt naked when a dude
claiming to be a woman showed up. She told him
she was uncomfortable and he was nasty to her. There's
videos of her calling out the situation all over social media.
At the moment, her ig is listened to Tish. She
also confronted Scott Weener about it. I don't know how
she contained herself from the jokes, but she's a better

(02:04:41):
adult than I am. Our videos are pretty good and
she's fed TF up. Just thought i'd suggest it. Love
the show, Melanie, Melanie, I have seen that. Honest to god,
I think I saw Louis c.

Speaker 4 (02:04:52):
K talk about this not too long ago, and I
thought he was very, very accurate on this. There are
like four topics that have stunlocked the United States of America.

Speaker 3 (02:05:03):
One is trans issues. Trans People are such a small, small,
small portion of the people in the United States of
America that it shouldn't be taking up this much oxygen.
We shouldn't have to hear about all these stories, Melanie.
In my opinion, if there are women like this who

(02:05:24):
are offended by dudes in the gym and in the
locker room and stuff, this is exactly what needs to happen.

Speaker 4 (02:05:31):
People, just women just need to say I don't want
dudes in my locker room. I'm fed up with it enough,
and the businesses will cave and we'll get past all
this stuff. But all these stories take up too much oxygen.
It's like, at some point, I think every trans person
was on television. It's way too much oxygen. We don't
We've gone over this, We've had all these conversations. So
I don't need all these stories myself, and I don't

(02:05:54):
feel they need to inject them into the show anymore.
We've done this for so long. It's one of like
four stories. They're just stunlocked the country.

Speaker 3 (02:06:01):
So I think this lady has every right in the
world to say I don't want dudes in a place
where I'm going to be naked. I don't want dudes
in the shower. I have no problem with that.

Speaker 4 (02:06:11):
And she's the exact person who should be speaking up
in these circumstances. The women who are affected by it,
not necessarily me. Anonymous says, good afternoon, Junkie.

Speaker 3 (02:06:21):
I was curious if.

Speaker 4 (02:06:22):
You heard about the judge that released the father who
punched an attack a school resource officer in Vlusha County.
I'd love to know your opinions on how the judge
handled this. Loved the show and they send a link.
I guess is this Chipwood talking about it.

Speaker 3 (02:06:35):
I'll put the volume out here. What's your jay? You
know you have to respect the judge's decision. I respect it.
I think it's asinine.

Speaker 16 (02:06:44):
I think that if somebody comes up, no matter who
you are, and sticks their finger right in your face,
which is what happens, and then you swatted away.

Speaker 5 (02:06:53):
Shedwood, I think we're good Shedwood, Why on earth are
you putting this on your Facebook with all the.

Speaker 3 (02:06:59):
Curse where it? Oh? No, the story is hang on.
I don't want to play the audio anymore. A year ago. Okay,
you're good, You're good. I'll read this. A year ago,
the Vlusia County Sheriff's Office in Florida had a a
deputy resource officer at Deltona Middle School who was attacked

(02:07:21):
by an angry parent the dad. The deputy was punched
in the head and knocked to the ground, and her
taser was ripped out of her hand. Today, CIRCA Judge A.

Speaker 4 (02:07:33):
Kathleen McNeely blamed the deputy for the incident, ruled her
attacker was triggered by the presence of a taser, and
let this comeback off with forty five days in county jail,
no felony, conviction, no probation.

Speaker 3 (02:07:46):
You read that right.

Speaker 4 (02:07:48):
I happen to think this judge just proved she's unfit
for office. This sentence really is complete bs, he says.
This is Chitwood saying this. But I have one request.
Don't harass this judge, don't threat in her, don't flutter
staff with calls.

Speaker 3 (02:08:02):
Just vote her out.

Speaker 4 (02:08:03):
Of office, he says, I disagree. I fundamentally disagree. I
do think we need to vote these judges out of office.
I think any judge that isn't for law and order,
I think any judge that.

Speaker 3 (02:08:15):
Makes excuses for people's violent behavior. I think all of
these judges out there that want to let people go
over and over and over again until they like, you know,
kill somebody or attack somebody or whatever because it doesn't
happen to their family, I think all of these judges
should be called out. I think they should get incessant,
incessant emails from people who are concerned about their judgments

(02:08:38):
and verdicts. I think that everybody with an email address
should email this judge in their office and tell them
that they don't like what they're doing. Because it's because
these jobs, these judges operate in the shadows mostly and
people aren't paying attention to what they do, that they
can get away with this stuff. I've talked about other
judges who do this where they just let people go,

(02:08:59):
They let.

Speaker 4 (02:09:00):
Violent criminals go. The guy who said he wanted to
kill somebody, he was excited to kill somebody. He didn't
want to rape this lady that he attacked at the park.
He was just really excited to kill somebody, and the
judge lets them off with nothing.

Speaker 3 (02:09:13):
The judges need to be held accountable. They need to
be voted out of office.

Speaker 4 (02:09:17):
Yes too, but they need to get pushed back one
thousand percent one thousand percent. There's a huge problem with this.
I think Chitwood is right. I think it's embarrassing. I
think that's weird. These weird like I don't even know
what it necessarily is driving that, but it's like social
activism or whatever should not be involved on the bench.

(02:09:38):
It absolutely has no place there really for me. So
I hope that answers your question, Anonymous. I think Chitwood
is right. I think blaming the school resource officer for
like escalating something and then the parent goes nuts and
attacks them is stupid. And all of these judges who
do this need to be called out, one after another
after another.

Speaker 3 (02:09:58):
Umm.

Speaker 4 (02:10:00):
That'll have to do it for right now. We're going
to take a quick break. When we come back, we
still have an airplane fight to get to. We still
have more of your feedback. I've also got this up
and running here with a woman at Little Caesar's who
is very, very upset, we'll get to her and a robot.
Another robot hits the market, but should we be scared

(02:10:20):
of this one, We're going to fight out together.

Speaker 3 (02:10:22):

Speaker 3 (02:11:56):
It looks gorgeous. It's a fantastic, polished, polished production, and
everybody did.

Speaker 4 (02:12:03):
A really great job. So I can't wait until you
can see it here real soon. Okay, let's see what
we got for you here as we wrap things up
today before too long. I don't care about this, don't
care about this. I do want to get into some
dispatches because I don't think I've played that many today.
So let's see what people have for us reacting to
the show.

Speaker 3 (02:12:22):
Here's this is scary Larry talking about cruises.

Speaker 17 (02:12:31):
I was on the Marguerite de Villelet's See cruise just
a few months ago, and basically it is just the
Walmart of cruising. It is basic transportation, food and mild entertainment.
If you go in with low expectations, you'll be happy.
If you go in expecting fine dining, they have it,

(02:12:55):
but it's extra cost. But everything else is just basically
it's a recycled ship that's been refurbished.

Speaker 3 (02:13:03):
That's what happens.

Speaker 16 (02:13:04):
Yea.

Speaker 17 (02:13:05):
If you go in with low expectations, you'll enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (02:13:08):
Yeah, I mean it's it's good. It's a good deal.
Those cruises are a good deal. With Margaritaville cruises, seems
like people have a good time. It seems like pulls
in a fun audience. I'm fine with all of those things.
It seems like they're getting better. Honestly, in the cruise world.

Speaker 6 (02:13:22):
They have a drink package on the Margaritaville at See's
you one would hope with a name like Margaritaville at Sea.

Speaker 3 (02:13:30):
Yeah, but let's see here.

Speaker 4 (02:13:32):
All drink package was like sixty dollars a day per person,
I think.

Speaker 3 (02:13:39):
And did you get unlimited or is that unlimited?

Speaker 4 (02:13:42):
Well, you know how it is Sealane with unlimited, they
say like fifteen drinks a day.

Speaker 3 (02:13:47):
Which so that's not unlimited. Yeah, and they will cut
you off.

Speaker 6 (02:13:51):
I know, I know how unlimited works on Royal Caribbean
because it's unlimited.

Speaker 4 (02:13:56):
But I don't need more than fifteen drinks. I don't.
I not planning on like really testing that myself personally.

Speaker 3 (02:14:04):
I mean, I understand what you're saying. I don't. I
don't think you're wrong. I understand what you're saying.

Speaker 6 (02:14:09):
Does the does the fifteen only count for alcohol? Like
they give you sodas and stuff for free?

Speaker 15 (02:14:17):
Is there?

Speaker 3 (02:14:18):
It says?

Speaker 4 (02:14:19):
It says on on the Princess Sky Cruise, which I
guess we're going on, and Courtney's all excited about. You
get fifteen drinks a day, I think, and then unlimited
sodas and non alcoholic drinks, and then any any beer,
wine or alcohol that is less than twenty dollars each
you get. But if there's like a bottle of wine

(02:14:42):
or a glass of wine that costs more than that,
then you got to pay for that thing. But no, no,
it doesn't go into the fifteen that you have on
your pass, I guess JCC. Just so you know, no
one's ever gonna see your dispatches again until you stell
being a lunatic. You are black ball, as are a
few other people over there. Try to be normal. If

(02:15:03):
you are normal and I see you acting normal, then
you'll work your way back into.

Speaker 3 (02:15:07):
The dispatch world. New people. I'd love to hear from you.

Speaker 4 (02:15:10):
Please do join us with your comments and to send
a dispatch video or audio over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Here is somebody who says there's a big change afoot.

Speaker 16 (02:15:22):
Hey news Junkie, just an update, and I know ultimately
you guys don't care at all, I'm sure, but big
change coming. I will no longer be the Land Man.
I will now be Savannah Man because I just got
a dream job and I'm going to be moving to
Savannah this summer. I know it doesn't really matter, but

(02:15:43):
I love your show and I listen all the time
and I've been very happy to hear my dispatches occasionally
come through.

Speaker 3 (02:15:51):
And anyway, just thought I would send you a message.
Thank you.

Speaker 16 (02:15:54):
I have to say right now, thank you guys very
much for everything you do, and have a good day.

Speaker 4 (02:15:59):
Thank you Savannah Man newly formed Savannah Man. We appreciate you,
and congratulations by the way, you see that, JCC. That's
all you have to do.

Speaker 3 (02:16:08):
Just be a normal person in your dispatches.

Speaker 4 (02:16:10):
We'll get on the show. That's easy. Yeah, I wait
for yours, right now not his but yours. Over at
thenewsjunkie dot com, a lot of people were talking about
how the Toy Story five teaser finally dropped yesterday from Pixar.

Speaker 3 (02:16:24):
It's everybody already knew it was going to be.

Speaker 4 (02:16:26):
It's like all the toys gather around and the kid
unwraps the new toy, which is a little tablet, and
it's like digital toys versus toys.

Speaker 3 (02:16:34):
And like, eh, lily Pad is the name of the
iPad thing.

Speaker 4 (02:16:39):
Greta Lee is going to be the voice of the
digital toy that goes up against Tom Hanks's Woody, Tim
Allen his Buzz light Year, Joan Cusack is Jesse, and
Tony Hale as Forky. Forky, the worst character in any
animated feature ever, just a miserable, suicidal.

Speaker 6 (02:16:57):
Fork fork does seem like appropriate for Tony Hale. Yeah,
I like him. I like him as the voice. If
somebody's gonna be the voice, He's got a great voice. Honestly,
I'm amazed at Tim Allen's back in all this. I
thought Tim Allen was on the outs with the Toy
Story people because they replaced him in the light Year movie.
I think they only replaced him in light Year because

(02:17:18):
they thought they needed a younger voice, Like they thought
that the Tim Allen voice for a younger Buzz Lightyear
you wouldn't have meshed well, which maybe I mean maybe
they did.

Speaker 3 (02:17:29):
Did they do any testing with Tim Allen for that?

Speaker 4 (02:17:32):
I heard that their excuse for not having Tim Allen
at that time they suggested it was nothing to do
with Tim Allen's politics.

Speaker 3 (02:17:39):
They said it was nothing to do with that. I
don't know if they're lying or not lying.

Speaker 4 (02:17:42):
They said it was nothing to do with Tim Allen's
politics because he's in Hollywood and he's like a right
of center guy. But they said that it was an
origin story that wasn't about that same Buzz Lightyear toy,
so therefore made sense for the voice to be different.
Whatever it was, it flopped. Man, it failed miserably. But

(02:18:05):
ain't no way that's happening to Toy Story five. This
thing will put up big fat numbers. Man, it'll bring
Pixar back. Pixar has been bombing. They've been bombing like
crazy with some of these movies that they put out.
They're not targeting a big enough audience. They need to
get all the families out there. The families are ready
to watch a movie.

Speaker 3 (02:18:23):
They're ready to be tuned in, but they haven't gotten
anything really great like L EO or some of these
other movies.

Speaker 4 (02:18:30):
They just haven't really been into them. But I think
Toy Story five will be massive. Here is somebody sent
this over a crash. A motorcyclist crashes in Florida, and
this is real. Apparently, I don't even know this could
happen to you. Okay, everybody braced yourself. If you're watching.
This is a warning for people who are on motorcycles

(02:18:52):
that you two have to follow the laws of the road.
This is film for somebody else's car and they're in
the line.

Speaker 3 (02:19:00):
Here. Now a barry go a motorcycle or I don't know,
a scooter, a scooter of some pipe type here is
zooming by. Now the scooter goes along and the hell
and I don't even know how that happens. The person
immediately turned into a fireball. The scooter hits this car

(02:19:21):
in traffic. And it's not like it took on What
immediately turned into a fireball that I mean, even with
the battery must have been on its last leg. Right,
there's something strange going on there. The person just sure, yeah,
that's what this is. This is allegedly real. It's it's
pretty convincing. The person's fully engulfed in flames right now,

(02:19:43):
stop dropping roll, brother, he didn't. He just got up
like Bobby. He got it like rickey Bobby, and he
plowed into this thing. Holy cow.

Speaker 6 (02:19:53):
I mean they crashed into what is possibly the gas
tank on this thing.

Speaker 3 (02:20:00):
But still that instance is way too fast. All right,
I put this up on sea it now since it's
a visual.

Speaker 4 (02:20:09):
Right here comes the motorcycle or scooter as Josh says,
and it plows into this car right now, Okay, now
we have contact. It's hitting the back wheel. Sea Lane's
right to say, like very very close to where you
put gas in your car. If it's a certain type
of car.

Speaker 6 (02:20:26):
I would say most gas tanks are on the left
side of the driver's side, not the passenger side, which
is what happening.

Speaker 3 (02:20:32):
But why so fast? I it's it's really quick.

Speaker 6 (02:20:37):
So I spill a bunch of gasoline on the road
before we did this here it.

Speaker 3 (02:20:40):
Could be it's bad.

Speaker 4 (02:20:42):
This person just looks like they just completely went up.
And then a guy behind him on another bike falls
and then tackles him, trying to put him out.

Speaker 3 (02:20:50):
He's just a ball of flames or something. This happened
is still still on fire, for God's sake. Yeah, trying
to take his hands on he is. And I've seen
a lot of I've seen that happened to a lot
of people.

Speaker 4 (02:21:03):
Firefighters, let us know what you're supposed to do, because
Josh is totally right. This man tried to take off
his jeans because they were on fire.

Speaker 3 (02:21:12):
And I know that that can be something that your
body wants to do. Is that what you should do?
Is that the way to do this?

Speaker 4 (02:21:19):
This is Florida footage captures a helmetless motorcyclist speeding through
a rain soaked intersection, crashing moments later in a violent explosion.
And it's up on see it now if you want
to take a peek of that over on the news
junkie dot com. So that's there for you. This is
another one of these robots. Humanoid robots has been teased.

(02:21:40):
This one is not very scary, like Frankie Valley walking out.

Speaker 3 (02:21:47):
It's a little slow. It's walking like Joe Biden on
the beach in the sand on that one viral video,
Little Tiny steps and it's like trying to be human.
But oh it is walking like Joe Biden on the beach. Yeah,
this robot ain't ready for a time walking. I've done

(02:22:09):
this before after a couple of coronas myself, but this
robot is not all there. I'll put this up on
See it Now too.

Speaker 4 (02:22:16):
This is a company called Idle, I guess, and let
me get a good screenshot here. The Idle company launched
their robot and the launch didn't go well. Was from
Russia with love, I'm sure, but just not working out
for all of us.

Speaker 3 (02:22:30):

Speaker 6 (02:22:44):
I have the explanation for Tim Allen not being in
the Buzz Lightyear movie.

Speaker 3 (02:22:48):
According to Wikipedia, what is it say?

Speaker 6 (02:22:50):
They said they didn't discuss bringing back Tim Allen in
any capacity for the film because they believed his voice
would have too closely tied it to toy story and
they wanted to be its own standalone story, which just
sounds dumb.

Speaker 3 (02:23:05):
I get it. So they didn't.

Speaker 4 (02:23:07):
They wanted to be a separate thing, but like, how
can it be a separate thing when he's so he's
the voice of Buzz light yet.

Speaker 3 (02:23:13):
So I never saw a light year. Much like a
lot of people.

Speaker 6 (02:23:17):
It says Tim Allen is the embodiment of the toy
Buzz and this isn't the toy world. This was about
the quote unquote real Buzz light Year. So they didn't
want to be confusing, Like Tim Allen's too funny, He's
like goofy comic relief. In this movie, Buzz is supposed
to be an action hero, so they went with Chris Evans,

(02:23:38):
which was the only name they even considered for the role.

Speaker 3 (02:23:42):
Really, it didn't work.

Speaker 4 (02:23:43):
Whatever it was, it may have been that, it may
have been the people just weren't interested.

Speaker 6 (02:23:46):
I mean, you could explain this till the you know,
till the cows come home, but it's still didn't really land.

Speaker 3 (02:23:52):
It didn't land.

Speaker 4 (02:23:52):
There's a lot of stuff like It's like I was
excited for Pixar to do a movie called The Good Dinosaur,
and then when it came out, it was a disaster.

Speaker 3 (02:23:59):
Nobody liked it, Nobody wanted to watch I ever even
heard of that.

Speaker 6 (02:24:02):
Yeah, exact, exactly. It's a Pixar movie. And why were
you excited? Are you familiar with The Good Dinosaur as
a story?

Speaker 4 (02:24:08):
The guy who did the Good Dinosaur? Okay, I don't
want to be labor this too long.

Speaker 3 (02:24:14):
But come on, we're not even late for break at all.
We are.

Speaker 4 (02:24:19):
The guy behind the Good Dinosaur is Peter Soon, I.

Speaker 3 (02:24:24):
Think Jack, we're doing Good Dinosaur talk. Come on. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:24:27):
And he was from Partly Cloudy, which I liked, and
Elemental and Ratitui and stuff. Okay, and this was his
dream production. He wanted to do The Good Dinosaur and
uh and it just wasn't a hit. I'm sorry it wasn't.
The Bootsie says the Good Dinosaur was lame.

Speaker 3 (02:24:41):
She's right about that. When we come back, final.

Paramount did a final return to office plan for everybody

(02:26:30):

of here. Let's do today.

I learned the following information may make you feel smarter,
but will not actually increase your IQ.

Speaker 3 (02:26:55):
So don't get cocky.

Speaker 1 (02:26:57):
Now it's done, or what we call today.

Speaker 3 (02:27:01):
It is today learn for a Wednesday, November twelfth, twenty
twenty five. Here ve go today. Learn this group right here, gentlemen,
the same clouds. That's right, insane clown posse I would
have also accepted ICP. Obviously.

Speaker 4 (02:27:21):
They paid Old Dirty Bastard aka dirt Dog.

Speaker 3 (02:27:25):
Aka devil Dog aka Big Baby Jesus. Big Baby Jesus
is another one that's true. They paid Old Dirty Bastard
thirty thousand dollars to rap on one of their songs.
But when OBD showed up, he was barely coherent. He
rambled about bitches for a while. It took ICP a
week to assemble just four rhymes out of his rambling,
and they retitled the track bitches because that's all they

(02:27:46):
could understand, saying that's it. That's all they ended up.

Speaker 6 (02:27:49):
I bet he wanted that money in cash, as rappers
tend to do.

Speaker 3 (02:27:53):
I don't doubt it.

Speaker 4 (02:27:54):
