Speaker 1 (00:00):
And this never ever ever happens. Fred I can't believe this.
This is let me just just double triple check here. Yep,
we got a last minute message. It appears to be
from the comedians in Saudi Arabia. Right now, let's see
what they said. Great Friday. Wow, we did it, everybody.

(00:25):
We did it through a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Fridays.
Arrive past yourself on the back form, making it through,
making it through the week. Excuse me, my allergies are
murdering me today. I apologize ahead of time. If only
it were actually the weekend like you thought it was. Oh,
don't bring that up, okay, I told you that in confidence. God.

(00:45):
I woke up at like three am and I was
going to the bathroom and walking with like a dance
in my step because I was like, oh, yeah, that's right,
it's the weekend. Oh God, I not only do I
think like I I didn't even question that it was Saturday, Like,
I didn't even for a moment, no hesitation. I was like,

(01:07):
in the weekend is here. Obviously I'm gonna go sleep
in because why not? Why I could do that now?
And then I slept in and woke back up, and
I when I woke up, I was like, still got
as much time as I need. And seven o'clock I realized,
you stupid son of a bitch, It's Friday right now,
what are you doing? I said, Oh my.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
God, I had a really weird middle of the night
wake up because I think it was I think it
was a THHC.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
So tonight, why am I riding on a giant?

Speaker 1 (01:36):
You set yourself off the space with those things last night?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
No, No, this wasn't This wasn't last night. It was
a couple of nights ago. But I woke up on
the couch and I started to go to bed, and
I had this crazy deja vous that I had already
went to bed, and I was like, well, then why
was I on the couch? Clearly, Ashley, because my throat
was very scratch. I go, clearly, my wife, Ashley must
have kicked me out of bed, and I just don't

(02:02):
remember it.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
You picked you up and carried you like a little babe.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
She's got you in, she's got you in her arms,
and shesus taking you out there.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Her legs, so she lays it down, gives you a
kiss on the forehead.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
I got so paranoid that she might have kicked me
out of bed for snoring that I went back to
the couch and just slept there because I felt bad,
and she came out. She came out for you know,
in the morning when she was getting ready, and she's like,
why are you on the couch?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
And the fun of them bitch bed this whole time.
Don't trust yourself. That's the less end of the day.
That truth. I told her, It's never happening again next time.
I'm just I'm just getting in. Uh, you got to
you got it. You gotta fight that. But here we are,
it's Friday, so let's have some fun together. Let's see
what we got going on. This put our ears of
the ground, our fingers on the pulse listy was happening
in this great, big, wide world of ours, and we

(02:51):
get to well, the undeniable waterfall of slop that is
covering everybody's social media feed right now. I can't take it.
It's only going to get seven thousand times worse on
all social media now now that you can take this
new open ai a sore into and do whatever you

(03:14):
want and use like the characters that are owned by
different companies, This is all the internet is full of
right now, SpongeBob getting pulled over by the police.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Hands on the wheel, you almost wiped out Greek cars
back there.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Put it apart now. I'm sorry. I'm I can't get
a ticket away, SpongeBob pull us off, I can't get
a ticket again. This is so great.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
That's from Sona to what.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Do you guys cheering this on for? Oh man, it's
gonna be everything. It's so funny. The voice is pretty
good SpongeBob though, like, yeah, it's pretty good. SpongeBob on
the wheel. You almost wiped out Greek cars back there.
Put it apart now, I'm sorry, I'm don't moves locked.
Unlock it right now. I can't get it. I can't

(04:05):
get a ticket right now.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
In the moment to run from the police is hilarious.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's everywhere all I like, I don't even know how
many people have access to this new video generation tool
that we talked about. Yack.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
I couldn't figure it out when they announced it.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, I mean it's under like the page.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
You have to get a separate app, you.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Know what you know in the top left of chat
GPT's homepage. I think there's like you can select the
plugins there and you can do it. But I have
not tried it yet, but apparently the rest of the
internet has. Here's a giant ham getting pulled over and
getting a ticket even you know I pulled you over.
Wait is that slice ham?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Step out of the vehicle for me. All right, off
the wheel, buddies. Hey, this is the whole internet right now.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's just running from the cups.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yes, AI slob content running from fake cops. You'll give you.
I'll give you one more example. Just you're gonna get inundated. This.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
I'm sorry to all weekend long. Thank you.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Here's here's a dog cop arresting cats.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
I control this, can I and Barkley.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
I've got four suspects in site moving in all right, fluffballs,
pause where I can see them.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
You're under arrest with the crime of being too cute.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
You have the right to remain adorable anything you per can.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
It will be used in all hearts. Oh my god,
so love the whole internet right in Sora too, So yeah,
I think so. Oh yeah, I see it in the
GPTs section. Yeah, like the drop down thing you can
select on the left or whatever. And everybody's using it,
and it's just a million videos of that or this.

(05:35):
Now they're taking your favorite characters because they can do that,
and they're putting them in every movie, like here's Pikachu
and saving Private Ryan because you know why not? Like
this is it. It's a hell storm of AI content.
You're never gonna get away from it. Two, stay low.

(05:58):
That's cleared. My god, we don't need any of this.
We don't need it, but there it is. And millions
of people are like, oh, Pikach saving Private pikat Chew.
It's so amazing. It is kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Though, Could I get a decent video made by this
week in Florida?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah? I think, Oh, I think. I think probably in
a couple of minutes you could. All right, I think
you could well try it out. But this is the
whole thing now, because everybody with a computer and a
chat GPT subscription can go. Actually, I want Forrest Gump,
but it's not Forrest Gumb and it's not Tom Hanks.
It's actually Super Mario Brothers and it's Mario. The Mario

(06:45):
character is Forrest Gump. And then all they generated they're like,
look how great I am? And they put it out
there on the internet.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
The only thing we can do, though, is a coupling.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
That character over got so far, I mean, Seilan will
show you how to do it. If it's did you
see it? You see it in the dry down?

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Oh yeah, I just sent you guys a screenshot because
there are a lot of soros.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Uh huh, yeah, it's the newest one. I guess it's
just going to be your whole Internet. It's gonna be
your whole world, folks, So buckle up as we wait
to see what happens with Diddy. Diddy could get anything
from time served. He's been in prison for about a year,
a thing I think, get anywhere from time served to
twenty years. Twenty years is the max for the prostitution charges,

(07:27):
the only ones that stuck on Diddy. But weirdly enough,
the prosecution was seeking eleven The prosecution was seeking eleven years. Yeah,
like almost right in the middle there. I get the
feeling that Ditty and his team are like, you know,
we we need to be released now, we need to
We've already served the year. This is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Could you imagine the spike in plays if he gets
prison time, like serious prison time for we ain't going nowhere,
bad boy for life.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
There's got to be either way. He's going to an
explosion of Spotify plays, iHeart plays, all those things I
would think, but did He wrote this letter to the judge,
and this is the last thing the judge has had
to look at before we see what the sentence is,
and we may well learn it today during the show.
Very good chance we learned it today during the show,

(08:18):
and we'll tell you if he's getting out today, if
he's walking free and doing his big return tour and
everything he's been planning on, or if he's going to
be behind bars for another couple of years. He wrote
to the judge, Dear Judge, sub raimian uh subrah Subarami,
and I hope this letter finds you well and in

(08:39):
good health and spirits. Thank you for the opportunity to
express my thoughts to you. First and foremost, I want
to apologize and say how sincerely sorry I am for
all the hurt and pain I have caused others by
my conduct. I take full responsibility and accountability for my
past wrongs. This has been the hardest two years of
my life. I have nobody to blame for my current

(09:01):
reality and situation. But myself in my life, I've made
many mistakes, but I'm no longer running from them did.
He says, I'm so sorry for the hurt that I caused,
but I understand that the mere words I'm sorry will
never be good enough, as these words alone cannot erase
the pain from the past. So that he talks about
being in prison for like thirteen months.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
He talks about run anywhere.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
He talks about I realize that I'm in a situation
where no amount of money, power of fame can save me.
Only God can save me. I ask you for mercy today.
For over a year, I've been locked in one room
with twenty five other incarcerated people sharing the same one room.
In this room that I share, there are no windows,
There is no natural or clean air, there's no sunlight.
We all live in one room. We eat, sleep, use

(09:47):
the toilet, take showers, and prepare meals, all in the
same room. He's really upset about it.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Jail. I didn't get a two story jail, so I
need to describe jail to the judge.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Do you think you're gonna get sympathy there? Did you
know there's only one room? This is unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
I thought at least it would be a suite of
some sort.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
I guess. So he says he finishes up in his letter,
and then it's just so long since somebody as rich
as did he has had to only occupy one room
for that long and share it with people. Yeah, he
probably just he probably has rooms in his house that
he's never even been in. Would be I guess. But
he finishes it up. Here's Diddy's letter to the judge.
I can't change the past, but I can change the future.

(10:31):
I know that God put me here to transform me.
Since incarceration, I've gone through a spiritual reset and I'm
on a journey that will take time and hard work.
Totally believe him here, Yes, totally. I would ask your
honor to make me an example of what a person
could do if afforded a second chance. If you allow
me to go home to my family, I promise I
will not let you down and I will make you
Crab proud. Today, I humbly ask you for another chance,

(10:52):
another chance to be a better father, another chance to
be a better son, another chance to be a better
leader in my community, and another chance to live a
better life. I'm writing this not to gain any sympathy
or pity. The experience is simply the truth of my
existence and has changed my life forever. And I will
never commit a crime again. Oh that seems.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Had a very tough promise considering the amount of crime
you did prior to that letter.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I will never commit a crime again, he says.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
I don't care about jaywalking like canal again.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Like you know, all the drug stuff that's not you
know that that doesn't really matter that much to me.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Because you get away with your drug use.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
No, it's just like he's not hurting anybody but himself.
So I think, like, what, You're not going not going
to do that anymore. I don't believe him.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
I mean, like, I think this is what people say
when they're in this position, and then when you're out
for a year, you're like, this was a travesty of
the justice system. Every day I spent behind bars was
a day that I was kept from the freedoms that
I deserved. I was not convicted of anything.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
You know, I like, I just he's doing this because
he wants to get out, obviously, and he could face
as much as twenty years.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
We'll hear that today.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Love this though, from the desk of fifty cent to
the judge, Dear judge, some Rummanian. I've had an ongoing
dispute with Puffy for over twenty years. He's very dangerous.
Multiple times I have feared for my life. I think
you should consider the safety of the general public your
honor before unleashing him upon them. There hasn't been enough

(12:27):
time for him to reform or make any adjustments, despite
his trying to teach a class in there. As you
are already aware, the government has spent the maximum amount
of money on deploying federal agencies, which appeared to be
an army in two locations simultaneously. Later, his son, who's
dealing with his own rape allegations, claimed the Feds hit
the wrong house anyway. Did he's only going to return

(12:47):
to hiring more male sex workers and keeping most of
the baby oil away from the general public? Did he
and babies need it? He says? My Netflix doc on
this scandalous subject is coming up soon, fifty cent Charming
and we will see was already released.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
I guess it wasn't.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
We just talked about is Netflix doc?

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Is doc Flix just shortened out of my own no
need for that. No, the Netflix documentary I guess is
not out yet according to that, but he's pushing for
more time for Didnting.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
If did He does get out, it's gonna be real
awkward for him.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
And yeah, if they're running to each other, it's probably good. Well,
did he can't come in another crime? He might be
in trouble if that does happen, But we're watching. We'll
tell you when the verdict comes in. Get your guesses
in what you think is going to happen to him.
We'll see how all of that goes. And when we
come back, we'll get into some feedback from you, an

(13:44):
update on what's happening in DC, and a lot more.
A very busy, busy Friday. We're gonna have some fun today,
so have some fun with us. That is coming up
next on the news Junkie lots to get into a

(14:12):
couple of emails real quick. But one of the things
that has popped up with the Diddy verdict, that was
crazy to me. I'm like, the balls on this guy
to even to do this and then to get caught
doing it. I saw that the US attorneys the people
who are like up there trying to get Diddy for

(14:32):
eleven years more behind bars. They went up to the
judge at diddy sentencing hearing and they said, hey, judge,
just so you know, I know you've read the letter
and all this stuff that Diddy has had to say,
but just so you know, he's booked speaking engagements in
Miami next week. All right, So yeah, just so you're aware,

(14:55):
he's so confident that he is going to be released,
he's booked gigs for next week and just plans on
being out of here. That to me is like, guys,
talk about a dumb move. I yeah, right, Like my god,

(15:17):
all you have to do is just shut up a
little while longer and just be humble a little while longer.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
What gigs could he have possibly booked?

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Speaking gigs? Is all they said.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
But I mean, the crazy thing is to Brina, as
we both know, doesn't matter the amount of heat that.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Is on you. Even Bill Cosby.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
When I want to say dozens, I think it's fair
to say dozens when it comes to Bill Cosby. Dozens
of women were claiming that Bill Cosby had done various
horrific things to them, and still that dude was selling
tickets to his shows. We were banned from the premises.
But you you know what I'm saying. It's just it's

(16:00):
unbelievable to me. But quite the brave move there, all right.
A couple of emails real quick that I wanted to
get into our emails the show and says a couple
of thoughts first about the comedians performing in Saudi Arabia, which,
if you're not initiated, the truth is that there was
a big comedy festival, like a two week long or

(16:22):
so festival in Saudi Arabia, obviously a very very repressive
country where even going on the streets and insulting the
prince or the royal family or the Saudi government can
lead to you being tossed behind bars for question marks
amount of time or worse, maybe even that maybe I'm shot.

(16:42):
But there's a lot of problems there, to say the least.
And these comedians went over there, and some of them,
including Dave Chappelle, who I think is a super funny guy,
he went over there and was bashing America from Saudi Arabia.
And it's fine to bash America, you know, I think
it's funny. It would be so dumb to be like,
America is such a great country that it's above you

(17:04):
making any jokes about us or about Americans. Come on,
the funny thing is when everybody makes fun of everybody. Oh,
absolutely funny.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
But had he done that in America, what would be
the backlash?

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Nobody would have cared. Nobody would have cared if he
did it there. I don't think. I mean, you do
it in Saudi Arabia, but you won't do it about
Saudi Arabia. You say, boy, freedom of speech feels kind
of great in Saudi Arabia, but not so much back
in the United States of America. I think it ruffles feathers. Anyways,
back to the email. First, I don't think comedians bashing
America and Sandland is too terribly worse than the insane

(17:36):
amount of athletes in America who have done some absolutely
heinous things and still get heroes cheers every Sunday. So
he's obviously talking about the football protest. But I disagree
with you because, as we just were talking about, the
problem is not insulting America or having issues with American
policies or any of those things. The problem is where

(17:59):
you're doing it from and whether you're getting paid millions
of dollars to do it for me, that's the thing,
he says. They simply know their audience. Well, we'll see. Also,
he says he thinks this is the most offensive thing
I said yesterday. I guess bashing the cartoon Peanuts is
where I draw the line. I can agree to disagree

(18:20):
about a lot, but this is the gd worst. Don't
you remember the outrage when Apple took over the Peanuts specials?
I know tons of people who watch them every year.
Dissing Peanuts and Snoopy. Now that is Unamerican, says this emailer.
I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you. I
was a Calvin and Hobbs guy. I liked it. I
was also you know what I liked and I'll be

(18:41):
real with you here. For a couple of years, I
liked it, but I didn't really get the jokes far side.
I was in the far side. I liked the far side.
Comics were funny to me. Dilbert Gilbert I was not into.
I thought that was dumb. The guy with the stupid
tie thing wandering around.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, as lem and it's supposed to be kind of
for adults anyway.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Like working man in the bay. Maybe yeah, like it
was if you worked in a cubicle. Maybe the jokes
were funny or something not for me, but Peanuts, I
just think is miserable. Charlie Brown's always got like the
worst turkey or the crappiest tree, and there's the stinky kid,
and then you know the clever little piano riff and
I don't know, it's just it's usually not that great.

(19:25):
Over to Tara, who emails the show tips at thenewsjunkie
dot com, Hey, Tara, says my husband and I are
super fans of your show. Well, thank you, Tara. I
know my husband listens every single day on the way
to work. His birthday is October fifth, Sunday. I was
wondering if you could give him an early birthday shout

(19:45):
out from his wife, Tara. We don't do birthday.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Shoutouts aready, but day from Aara.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
I know that would make his day. Thank you guys
for making us laugh and learned at the same time.
Wiggle Wiggle pop pop Tara. Thank you, Tara. That's very
very nice of you. And by the way, we don't
always do this, but happy birthday to your husband.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Yeah, strange thing. She never told me what.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
His name was. So Tara's husband is all we got.
That's as close as we can get to it out there,
all right, real quick. I want to tell you that
people are not going to like this, but I'm going
to say it anyways. I just think it's true. As
of today, I'm proud to say, for the southeastern United

(20:32):
States of America.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
We beat this hurricane season. That's right, we did.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Let's beat it.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
We beat the hurricane season. We're over the worst part
of it. The shield is holding off of the East coast.
We're spinning out hurricanes off into Nowheresville in the Atlantic.
That we're past the peak and worst part of all
of this and now it's like the chill time of
hurricane season. We did it, Yeah, we did. Sea Lanes

(21:03):
signing his studio doesn't doesn't agree with me right now
for you watching YouTube. But Generator, we did it. All
the meteorologist doomers were wrong.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
The thing that said, the thing that Sabrina just said
is such a real thing. My friend got a like
a like a real big generator. Spend a bunch of
money on it. Hasn't been able to use it yet.
I don't even think he's got it. Actually, like he
wants it to get an electrician out there to get
it wired.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
In, you know, for an extension core for the.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
You know, for the big one, right, and uh so
he's got And that's such a bummer to have something
like that that you buy. It's for an emergency. You
spend your money on it, and you're excited about it,
and you're like, I don't have any reason that you
almost want.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
To go, especially when your power goes out every other
hurricane or tropical storm. Prior to getting the generator.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
You almost want to tell him, like, why don't you
just load that thing in the back of your pickup
truck and we'll go out to the woods and just glamp.
We'll just talking, you know, we'll bring all of the
electronics and run it off that generator, just so you
get the chance.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
I had a similar moment to that, and.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
I just I'm feeling good, good vibes this weekend. Since
hurricane season is now, we're at a safe spot, we're
good to go. We're all safe here, so we could
talk about things like this. But I remember vividly when
I was eleven years old. I believe I was eleven
years old and my dad said, oh, they handed out
something at work today and I go what wasn't and

(22:31):
he goes, I wanted you to have it, and I said, oh, okay,
thank you, and my dad gives me this box and
I opened it up and he said, yeah, they gave
these out of work today. I thought you'd like it.
And when I opened it up, it was an emergency
wind up weather radio.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
I mean this when I grow up.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
At eleven, I was like, Oh, I really like radios.
I like these kind of things, and I was like,
this thing is so cool.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
And then it was like the next.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Weekend or two that Hurricane Andrew was coming and I
was going around the house and I'm like, yeah, I'm
gonna get to use my little wind up radio thing,
and everybody else was like doom and gloom because we
were in We were in the acreage at the time
in just outside a Royal Palm Beach, Florida, and the
storm for a while was supposed to supposed to hit

(23:19):
us much harder. It ended up going through the Southern
Florida at Homestead area, but it was the first time
that I remember going through that stuff, and I was
so excited as a kid, I was like, oh man,
I got to use my radio.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Very similar story where I had My dad had an
underwater flashlight and I was so excited to use it,
and so I prepared wait for night to fall, jump
from behind the boat into the school of jellyfish. Yeah,
and the flashlight was gone into the deep sea, and
my sibling had to pie in a cup and port
on me that. Oh so like, I know what it's

(23:57):
like to have the excitement as a little kid, and
it ripped from under you, adults, it's now the generator
that's ready to go. Yeah, ripped from under you. However,
I disagree. I do believe we can't be in the
clear yet.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Well, why are you putting out wait, why are you
putting those vibes out there? Right now? We are in
the clearity now now she's jinks the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Ud that with your drink.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
If somebody has something. I'm saying, I'm saying we're in
the clear. I'm saying things are good to go. I'm
saying thumbs up, things look nice. And then you know,
other folks want to just go in a different direction.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
I think it is through downpours that I could not
see two feet in front of me. Things are happening
out there.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
You just have a little storm. No, I went outside earlier.
I saw it was raining. Everything's fine out there. Everybody
drives safe. But you know, hurricane season, we got them
this year. Tell us what you think, tell us what's
happening in your world? Said, it's a dispatch over at
thenewschunk heat dot com. Hoover emails the show and Hoover says,

(25:03):
you were talking about the bad bunny super Bowl thing
and counter programming yesterday. Hoover says, what if Romstein, excuse me,
what if Romstein, the German heavy metal band played the
halftime show. They speak German but are known and loved
the worldwide. That would be a bad fit, Sir, that
would be Romstein.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
So one of them for like sexual assault.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
I don't know, maybe like they're just way more agro.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Everyone knows one song, yeah do host.

Speaker 5 (25:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Also, we know people who have been to a Romstein show,
and from the videos I've seen, that is too much
pyro for the super Bowl. Oh yeah, you can't fit
a super Bowl and a Romstein in the same stadium
and have that be copasetic.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah, I think that that would absolutely positively be a
bad idea as well. I think that that would not
quite work.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
But all right, we'll see what you think about all
of this.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Do connect with us today via email like that tips
at the news junky dot com or send a dispatch
record yours over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Excuse me, I
apologize profusely. I'm gonna take a quick flown a shot,
give myself ramped up where I need to be. The
averages are at talking to me. I'll be good when
we come back. A mother is very very mad. She

(26:24):
is very very mad about something that happened to her child.
What is it? Will go over what went down and
should she be upset, you'll hear what happened to this kid?

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Is coming up next on the news junk Keye.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Hey, real quick worth taking a moment here to shout out,
we've already had a winner in the keyword contest over
here at IA. iHeart use me, uh and uh that
could be you next. So I just want you to know,
whenever you hear on this station the keywords, make sure
you're giving it a shot. Sometimes it's one of those

(27:12):
things that people go, oh, one thousand dollars. I'm never
gonna win that. Too many people are competing. Yeah, big whoop,
But you don't realize that a lot of people do
the same exact thing that you're doing. And then the
people who do step up and give it a shot
are like, holy crap, I want a thousand dollars just listening.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
To the news junk hides and it's worth noting. Our
station really good with that.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, quite good in the past at creating winners. And
I think you're gonna be next.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
I really feels I would like I think we should
up it.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
I think we deserve I think one hundred apiece sounds fair.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
I think we just really whittling down that thousand. Guess what,
seven hundred is better than nothing that's before. And we're
we're we're the ones who are giving them the We're
giving them the keywords. Yes, yes, So I think that
means something, all right. This mother is very very mad.
This mother in thet state of Florida is very upset

(28:08):
brother something that happened to her child in a Pok County,
Florida school, I guess, and Pok County Public Schools is
now investigating this incident, which took place in the last
week or so at a place called Floral Avenue Elementary School.
So it went down at an elementary school. The mother,

(28:29):
I guess, went to the news and we'll hear from
her on Channel ten in Tampa Bay and what she
said about this. But the mother's got her little kid
with him, and she said, this is just out of line.
This is unbelievable what happened, and we can't stand for this.
But I want to know is she overreacting here or
what Let's see what happened. Here's the details from ten

(28:51):
Tampa Bay CBS.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
I automatically said, that's unacceptable, and I don't feel I
don't think nothing's funny about it.

Speaker 7 (28:59):
Says there's a history of black people being described that way,
which makes it extremely upsetting.

Speaker 6 (29:04):
My skin is boiling. I don't even like racism, and
to know where we come from and our ancestors and
for us to be labeled like that, because when I
called us lady based saying that we're ugly, were at
like a monkey and all.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
This and it all right, Just so you know what
she's upset at. It was her kid's birthday at this
elementary school, and the teacher was singing happy birthday to you,
and I guess the teacher did the little part where
it's like you look like a monkey, like one two, yeah,
And then mom was like, oh my god, she did

(29:38):
this because my kid is black and is now saying
that this was like a racist thing at this school. Desiree.
Prather is the mom who's gone to the news on
this thing and brought these charges. Well not you know,
like not actual criminal charges or anything, but just like
these allegations of racism against the teacher. I'm trying to

(29:59):
think of how they did this when I was in class.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
When I was a kid, it was just I know,
I mean, I do remember that part, but yeah, twenty five, teacher,
you could have just skipped that and avoided all this mess.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
I definitely remember doing that when it was my friend's
birthdays and stuff like you look like a monkey and
you smell like one, two and zero times? Was it
aimed at anybody because of the race? Like it was
not a thing like that. In fact, I think there's
something sort of weirdly racist about people who do this
stuff where you go, like, you know, he said, they

(30:31):
said monkey in the song, and my son is black
and he's like, well, you know I'm going to I'll
be the one who says, your son's not a monkey here,
and you probably shouldn't make those correlations and make him
think about that. You make a lot of racist people
do though, Yeah, but not with this. Have you ever
heard anybody using that happy Birthday song as a racist thing?
I have never heard about that. Okay, teacher's fired, all

(30:55):
right if they did that, If they did that, fired immediately.
But in this case, I think it's just like a
stupid little thing. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe Mom's got
some bombshells.

Speaker 7 (31:07):
Ter Paulk County Public Schools District staff and the HR
department are reviewing this.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
I followed up with additional questions.

Speaker 7 (31:14):
Like is this the first time this teacher has sung
this song to students? And I also asked while this
is being reviewed, will the teacher still be.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
In the classrooms. I've not heard back yet.

Speaker 6 (31:24):
I don't play games about my child.

Speaker 7 (31:26):
In a letter to the school board, pray they're asked
for it.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Let's se what they said, media discipline. OK, this is
this from the mom or something. It says formal complaint
regarding inappropriate and racially insensitive conduct by a teacher. I
can't tell who it's from, but I'm imagining this is
from the mom. It says I am requesting the following
a full investigation into the incident, including video in question

(31:50):
and interviews with all involved. Two immediate disciplinary action against
the teacher involved. I can't see what three and four
on the list are. Unfortunately, right now, the way this
is blocked off, maybe they'll scroll it up and then
five a written explanation of what steps will be taken
to ensure that no other student is subjected to this
type of behavior in the future. This seems like a
massive overreaction. Honestly, this seems like a lot.

Speaker 7 (32:13):
And counseling for her son.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Counseling.

Speaker 7 (32:15):
You're receiving no response. She decided to show up in person.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Buddy. You know you know the way I tend to
look at these things. I'll give you two options here,
all right, Which one of these do you think is.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Is worse for a young, growing kid.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
One they sit in a classroom and somebody says, happy
birthday to you. You look like a monkey and you
smell like one. Two ah, and everybody laughs and they
poke the kid and happy birthday, buddy, and they celebrate
their birthday and go on with their life, and then
maybe you have some more nuanced discussion afterwards with them
and be like, you know that part about the monkey thing,
we don't like that. Or second option, you go to

(32:54):
the news, your little kids on the news, you're requesting
counseling for your kid, Like you're gonna send your kid
to some professional to sit down to talk about this
song that was sung in the classroom that otherwise wouldn't
have been a blip on his radar. You know, little
kids don't think about things like this. It's one of
the most beautiful things in the world. Little kids are
not racist. Okay, kids are not racist. They're not born

(33:18):
like little racist wandering around the world.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
We're doing hypotheticals here. So now that birthday song is sung,
it's time for recess. All his classmates are calling a monkey.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Then the kids would be racist for calling him a monkey.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
They don't know the difference it was in the birthday song.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
I mean that would be a different thing to complain
about at that point in time. Did that happen? I
don't know that she said that this has happened as
a result of this. I think it was just a
little blip and they came back. The kid came back
and said, yeah, you know, they sang this song or whatever.
They said, would you like the hold on? Prowther's son
had just turned six three days earlier, six years old.

(33:56):
This kid he wears shorts and a dark shirt bearing
the school's logo. After the students finished singing Happy Birthday
to you in the twenty eight second clip, because they
was posted on Instagram at TikTok, I guess they said,
would you like the funny song now that I sing
to you, the prompting a nod from the boy. Okay,
it goes like this, says the woman. She proceeds to sing,

(34:18):
in a jazzy style, accompanied by finger snaps, Happy Birthday
to you. You live in a zoo, You look like
a monkey, and you smell like one too. After like
the kids were singing, I guess the teacher has received
death threats according to this, because of course, God, there's
so many things like this, like you know what, you know,

(34:39):
it would be like acceptable to me, Like let's say
the mom didn't like this. I don't know if you're
very focused on these sorts of issues, if like, your
race is such a big part of your identity. You
can look at the world through a lens and sometimes
see things like this. But if I was a parent
and I was doing that, I would simply go to

(35:02):
the teacher afterwards. I would probably not even really bring
it up with my child, and then I would talk
to the teacher and go, hey, not for nothing between
you and I, I didn't like that you did this.
Could you not do that in the future, Maybe not
do it for other kids? Fine, totally fine, totally fine.
But the whole public display here and then having your
kid you want like counseling for your kid. I just think, honestly,

(35:24):
there's no way in my mind that that doesn't do
more emotional damage to the kid than just a little
song that he didn't even think anything of. That's just
the way I take this in. Maybe you think I'm wrong,
let me know, Maybe you agree, let me know. Send
a dispatch over on thenewschunky dot com.

Speaker 6 (35:40):
Let's see what else she says here is this cut
sand is an active investigation. They can't they can't answer
no questions or anything like that.

Speaker 7 (35:47):
Angelicia rutzin tend Tampa Bay.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
There's a little guy who say as her son was
moved to a different classroom after the incident, but he
hasn't returned to school since she now plans to transfer
him to another school. Oh my god, Oh this is it?
All right?

Speaker 4 (36:07):
This is just the kids singing regular.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
Would you like the funny song now that I sang
to you?

Speaker 1 (36:16):
He says, yes, thank you.

Speaker 6 (36:18):
You live in.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
You monkey.

Speaker 5 (36:26):
So we want to everybody.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
There's the actual moment that was posted after all of this.
We can't see the teacher. I don't know anything about
the teacher. For all I know, the teacher could be black.
And then they sang the little song to these kids.
Well I don't I mean, I don't know. It would
be assuming at that point, but that was the moment there.
Let us know what you think. Give us your thoughts
over on thenewsjunkie dot com. All right, lots of you

(36:55):
are sending in emails and we'll get to some of
those here momentarily. I thank you for doing it. It's
without you. There is no show here, okay, So thank
you for sending those over. In fact, just to show
you that we care about them, I'll play one right here.
Here is.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Here's Antwine talking about this teacher.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
I don't know if the teacher was a racist, But
I don't know one thing. White people saw a love
that of platfuls how to happen, how to feel about
certain situations if they always says he said, I don't
know if the teacher was a racist, but I know
one thing. White people sure love to tell black folks
how to act and how to feel about certain situations.
I tell you that, well, I mean, here's the reason

(37:39):
why I'm not going to infantilize you or any other
black person out there. I'm going to treat you like
I would treat any other human in the world, with
respect and dignity, and just like anybody else. I think
infantilizing people is pathetic way to go through life, and
I think you shouldn't view everything through the lens of

(37:59):
race like that. But I imagine we differ on those opinions,
and I appreciate the dispatch regardless.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
Maybe one more. Oh this, no, why why I'm not
even playing this?

Speaker 1 (38:10):
This is somebody coming after the woman who asked for
a birthday wish earlier. For what? What did what did
this woman do? She just said, you wanted a birthday
wish for her husband? For God's sake, hang on SI
Happy Weekend News Junkie crew. I'm just here to say,
Screwtaire's husband. I don't care. It's this birthday, October fifth.
It's my wife's birthday, October fifth. Happy birthday, baby, I

(38:30):
love you? Are you kind of Michael Scott at it
by proxy? A happy birthday to heart Two. We can't
get into this whole happy birthday thing, folks. There's a
lot of you out there. We can't do each and
everyone a happy birthday shout out. But how about this
to all of you with birthdays in the month of October,
Happy Halloween and happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday. Do

(38:51):
you want me sing the funny song? Yeah, let's hear
it quick break. When we come back, we'll hear from you.
We'll get your thoughts in on this show and update
on what's happening in Washington, DC, some interesting stuff there,
and rat it out by chat GPT. This is the future, kids.
Wait till you hear what happened to this kid. It's

(39:11):
coming up next. I'm going to use junkie. We'll get
to you and your feedback, your dispatches, all the rest

(39:33):
of that in a moment. I don't know why there
would be any controversy over this. It just kind of
makes total sense to me, if I'm honest. We have
to move along with technology and stuff. And there's this
young dude, a teenager who now is in big trouble
because he was in the middle of a crime spree
and he kept talking with chat GPT and he was
like admitting his crime spree to chat GPT and asking

(39:55):
for advice, which usually I won't give you advice on
stuff like that, but no, maybe he was being clever
about it. However, he confessed to it, and then there
was this effort to search his stuff and they found
his conversations with chat GPT and they used it against them.
And I'm like, well, but if they use your Google

(40:16):
search history and they're allowed to do that, and they
use other evidence against you, it makes total sense to
me that they'd be able to look at what you
posted in chat GPT and that could show whether you
were innocent or guilty on these charges. And let me see,
is this is the actual document here? Let me bring
this up. Hang on one second, he's seventeen years old

(40:38):
or nineteen years old, minutes after vandalizing seventeen cars in
a Missouri college parking lot seventeen cars. Buddy Jesus. He
had a lengthy chat GPT conversation where he confessed to
the crime, asked about the possibility of getting caught, and
wondered if there was any way they could know it

(40:58):
was me according to a probable cause statement. Well, I
know one way the note was you, sir. All you
have to do is take a look at the searches
and history on your chat GPT.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
But I mean, I'm very curious how they got the
probable cause subpoena for his phone for vandalism.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Here's the thing. He consented to letting them search his iPhone.
They're like, well, if you didn't do this, if this
has nothing to do with it, this is like the
oldest cop trick. By the way, everybody you.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
Should know this. Well, they go, well, you.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Didn't do this, right, you know you don't have anything
to hie. Let's take a look your phone.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
You don't need a lawyer if you're not guilty.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Yeah, well, only guilty people get lawyers. Just let me
see your phone and we'll clear all this up and
we'll get it past us. You're an innocent guy, I
can tell and you give them the phone and they're like, uh, gotcha.
When confronted with surveillance footage and other evidence, this nineteen
year old said he could see the resemblance between the
suspect and himself, and then he consented to the search
of his iPhone. A subsequent review of the device revealed

(41:55):
location data placing him out or near the seat of
a crime, as well as troubling dialogue exchange with chat
GPT on his phone. Here's what he said to chat GPT,
how f am, I will I go to jail? And
the AI program gave him some tips about the outcome
of getting caught or be involved in this behavior. He said,

(42:16):
what if I smashed the s out of multiple cars?
According to the affidavit, they said he became aggressive towards
chat GPT after getting the.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
He didn't like the result he was getting for chat GPT,
and he said, I will kill all you efforts. Upon
returning to his apartment to wind down a bit, he declared,
I got away with it last year, and I don't
think there's any way they could know my face. It
felt really nice to f their s up. He said,
he didn't get away with it. He's now been booked

(42:50):
on some charges here and is facing some destruction of
property charger.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
We have if he was paying for the pro account.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Maybe, or just was smart enough to not give his
stuff to the cops when they asked, buddy, come on, man,
the thing that's kind of crazy for young kids.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
This is just crazy to think about when.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
I was young, when most of you were young, if
there was an allegation against us.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
I'll give you a personal example.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
One time, there was a knock on our front door
about six pm, just starting to get dark, and we
were in the house. I was doing some homework and
my mom goes, who's that.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
My mom goes to answer the door, and some guy
is on the other side of the door and he goes,
your son, owes me money, and I go my ears
perk up, what's going on over there? And he goes
him and his little rapscallion friends, rapscallion, These little bastards,
these little rap scallons. They came over to where we

(43:52):
work at this nursery, this nursery where they have like
all these potted plants and flowers and stuff that was
down the street from my house, and they said they
had a water balloon slingshot, and they were launching oranges
at the portable that we operate out of in this
nursery that we run, and it busted through the wall,
completely busted through the wall because they must have shot

(44:14):
some other stuff like rocks, and my mom's like, Sean
did jen. I'm like, I didn't do it. I didn't
do it shot out from around the corner, and the
guy's like, yeah, it's him, that's that's him. And my
parents are having to talk with me, and they're accusing
me of all this. Your mom like a low key
ratuo by going Sean, did you put other things in
your water balloon sling shot?

Speaker 3 (44:35):
My mom knew water balloons.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
My mom knew that my friend down the street had
a water balloon slingshot. So pretty quickly it was like
but as a little kid at that age, like twelve thirteen,
you're like, no, no, whoever it is, I want justice
to come back. I wish you know that's not right now. Yeah,
I hope they find I hope they find the guy
whoever it was. The perpetrator should definitely be arrested and

(45:00):
totally did it, like one hundred percent guilty. We had
a water Boon SunShot. We were bored, kids. We fired
some stuff through this guy's a little portable on his property.
But when we left, it was like that guy kind
of saw some kids running down the street afterwards and
assumed some things. And then it was our word versus his. Now,
my dad, I think fixed the guy's stuff, and you

(45:22):
know it made it right by him, and all was
okay after that, and we didn't do it again, obviously,
but now the guy would go, well that that ain't
where it ends. It ain't his the kid's word against mine.
I want to see his cell phone so I could
see if he was over by my property. I want
to see all the security footage, because there's cameras everywhere

(45:42):
on planet Earth. Now, I want to see if afterwards
he searched for anything about this crime, or went over
to chat GPT to confess about this. Oh my god, kids,
the traps are everywhere. They are everywhere. It's so hard
to get away with those little things that you used
to do.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Also, how was it twenty twenty five and the mugshot
camera for this kid is not better than that garbage?

Speaker 3 (46:06):
I met the budget for it.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
It looks like it's in a cloud of smoke.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
Or SOMETHINGGBT, though ready to help them out.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Oh my god, So batalyzing seventeen cars in a Missouri
car College parking lot not a good idea, not a
good idea for it. Though probably crime can be fun.
I'm sure it was when I was using that water
bloon srinkshot.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Honestly, I actually have a story for this week in
Florida that I had to ask chat GPT some stuff
and it came at me with.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
Like the attitude of it.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Thought I was asking for help on crimes or advice
on reilating crimes, and I had to be like, no, no, no,
no no. I am researching a story about a crime
that was already committed. And I want to know why
this the old Roger Waters to fetch I see, yeah,
that's that's that works.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Sometimes worked for him if you look that up. But
very different. By the way, just for the record, I'm
not telling you that Sea Lan is doing the same thing.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Roger Waters was doing. Okay, I'm not seeing what does
Roger Waters do?

Speaker 3 (47:09):
You don't want to know?

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Was it him or Pete Townsend? And mixing the two
of them up, there was one of them that was
looking at child sexual material all around, saying CP anymore, Uh, well,
you know, and the and the cops busted him, and
then he goes, oh, I was writing a book and
I was doing research, and that's why I wasna the

(47:31):
who is Pete Townsend? And I think, I say with
zero confidence it was him? Okay, it was like writing
a book. Can use that as an excuse. But if
you're a kid, I try to get off the grid.
If you're going to do some of these little tiny crimes,
everybody does it. We all do it, Sea Lane and Sabrina.
Plenty of little things that you do. I'm sure when

(47:52):
you're a little kid that you could gind of, could
have gotten in trouble for, but you probably didn't go
home and blab about it to everybody. You didn't tell
GPT because thank god that didn't exist when we were little.
I didn't have a mirror many cameras. Oh, that would
have been better. The good and the bad, you know,
with all these things, there's really really truly the good
and the bad. Tell us what you think. Set us

(48:12):
a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. All right, lots
of emails coming in, let's see here. Keep me. Anonymous says,
this person, I don't know who's listening and who will
get offended by what I'm saying. He's talking about the
story where the mother was upset. She wants this teacher
to be punished because the teacher sang a birthday song

(48:33):
in class and then film did put it on Instagram
and stuff, and she said the happy Birthday song with
you look like a monkey and you smelled like one
two that we would sing joking around when we were
a kid. But the mother and the child are black,
so she was very upset about this. So this anonymous
person says, I don't know who's listening. We'll get offended
by what I'm saying. But if this song is really offensive,
then we need to cancel the children's movie mad at Gascar.

(48:55):
That song is sang in the first movie, and that's
how I learned this song when I was a kid.
I do not remember that from the Maddic Gascar movie,
but I believe I've seen it. Yeah, I believe you.
I don't think it would be making that up in
the lightest but thank you. Somebody else emailing about Hulk
Cogan and I guess there was some malpractice situation going

(49:17):
on there. Yeah, the Hogan family after his death have
been really divided on some things, and they've been a
bunch of the family members really pushing for more of
an investigation into how his medical treatment went in his
final weeks, and they seem to think that something was
going on that was wrong, that was something that led

(49:40):
to his death, and I think they deserve at the
very least to get down to the bottom of that,
you know, just like the story with the roller coaster death.
Even though I think some of the attorneys that come
in on these things that are looking for money and
have dollar signs in front of their eyes and they
want to put the companies back against the wall so
they can make themselves a few more meal, I think
that's kind of growth sometimes. But I also think the

(50:01):
family totally deserves an investigation into what happened. I think
that they deserve that. I think that people in those
positions absolutely deserve them. We'll see what you think about
all of this in just a moment on the show.
Let's see here a couple of things to touch on.
This seems hard to believe to me, but I guess

(50:22):
of a huge new investigation by a bunch of institutions
shows that time on social media has actually gone down,
that it peaked in twenty twenty two, and I'm trying
to think, like, okay, twenty twenty is a pandemic COVID. Yeah,

(50:43):
like it peaked in twenty twenty two. It went up
during COVID, but it's on the way back down, they say,
and young people have been the first to cut back.
Of course, I think you could argue that young people
probably were using social media the most to begin with,
like sixteen to twenty four of that demo, it does
seem like they were on social media the most, but

(51:04):
they have cut down quite a bit from their peak
usage of all these platforms. And really, if I'm looking
at the graph correctly here, it looks like almost all
of the demographics have pulled back a little bit. Do
you think since twenty twenty two, Saveria Seilan, do you
think your your social media usage has gone down, stayed

(51:25):
the same, or gone up?

Speaker 4 (51:27):
Because I think's probably the same.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
I think the same. Honestly. I don't know if I've
posted as much, but I'm definitely doing some screen time
when it comes to just watching.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
I mean, I haven't I haven't gone down in terms
of the amount of time I've been on social media apps, certainly,
I don't think at all.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
I think my posting is definitely down because I don't
plug like gigs anymore.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
So there's or you don't celebrate every Sunday Funday, right,
mash Tacksucker Free.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Sunday Funday had its own hashtag as well. Yeah, I
still celebrate it once in a while, I just don't
advertise that I do. All right, Well, have you talking
to you? Have you used sociald fans you?

Speaker 1 (52:11):
No?

Speaker 4 (52:11):
No, that person?

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Have you have you use it? Left? Let us know said?
It's a dispatch record your video or audio dispatch right
now at thenewschunkie dot com. All right, quick break. Everybody's
freaking out of this Taylor Swift thing. You know what's
crazy to me? They think that movie might be number
one at the box office this weekend, and it literally
just seems like it's a behind the scenes movie with

(52:34):
Taylor Swift.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
It just seems like it's like this weekend that's happening.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
No, I believe it's this weekend. I mean, I could
have that wrong, but I think I think it's this weekend.
It's supposed to be the number one movie in the country.
It's gonna make between they think estimated between twenty and
thirty million dollars, and I started thinking to myself, I'm like,
imagine they keep this out for a couple of weeks.
Taylor Swift makes like fifty mili off of behind the
scenes movie that I to this would have been released

(53:01):
on YouTube, and now they're like launching it in theaters
and making tons of cash off of that.

Speaker 4 (53:10):
That's kinda crazy to me, But people pay for it.

Speaker 8 (53:14):
Man.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
These fans are nuts, and I'm sure some of you
will go. But we'll talk about that in a bit.
In some of the drama around it. It's coming up
next some of the news chunk key. It's crazy, this

(53:42):
Taylor Swift movie. Somebody just said their theater is showing
it sixteen times tonight, sixteen times. And it's like an
eighty something minute basically behind the scenes video that I
swear to god, anybody else would have released to YouTube.
You would have just uploaded it and been like, here
we go. We're promoting the album. Now go over all
the songs with the Fine Tooth Comb and tell me

(54:02):
what you think about it. And I haven't heard any
of the album. I'm sure it's great. I think Taylor
Swift is very talented. I'm glad that all the people
who are into this are going to get to go
celebrate and go have some fun at the movie theater.
But it's just crazy to me they think it's going
to make an additional twenty to thirty million dollars. I
guess it's only in theaters from the third to the fifth,

(54:25):
so just this weekend we'll be where this is there
and then it has a music video I guess not Like,
look if they're doing the exclusive world premiere during the
movie of this the Fate of Ophelia song that I
guess Taylor Swift has, I don't think it's anyway they're
going to release it online too. I think they would

(54:47):
at least wait, I guess, but her twelve studio album
The Life of a Showgirl gonna print some money for her.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
Most the other like speculation about.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
This album, which which thing I saw a couple of things.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
It's called why it's not called just Showgirl.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
If you go and search out of any particular streaming
service and look for the album The Life of the
first one that comes up is the life of Pablo.

Speaker 4 (55:17):
Oh yeah right, yeah, so it looks.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
To be when that comes out that that will pop
up first. And this was the album that he did,
the Taylor Swiftness. Oh and it's all layered and fun.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
How much she has embraced Easter eggery.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
Yeah, or people just overread into everything. I don't know
which one's.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
Turn over reading. I'm just spreading rumors. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
I'm not talking about you. I'm saying there the stories
today are all of the hidden meanings. And then we've
gone through every new Taylor Swift song to tell you
the potential digs against Blake Lively now that they're not
friends anymore. And I'm going, what the hell, damn you
guys are into this? How fun? Enjoy yourself? Enjoy yourself.

(56:03):
There should be more options for everybody, and people should
do things that make them happy. And if it's going
to see this movie this weekend, by all means, go
check it out, do your thing. You're gonna let us
know how it is. I'm not going to it. We
were gonna go see there's some like horror movie out
this weekend that we were going to see.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
Oh, I'm just waiting for It's supposed to be on
Max Tell Her Body or Body Told Her So or
something like that. Supposed to be extremely scary, and I
stopped myself from buying it or renting it because every
time I rent something, it shows up on the streaming
service that are so Apparently there's a bunch of stuff

(56:45):
that's coming out this weekend. Everyone wants to get spooky.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
Oh, I know what I wanted to go see. We
talked about this, right, good Boy? We talked about Good Boy,
didn't we The horror movie that's from the perspective of
the Dog. It's like, yeah, yeah, the dog is like
at the center of this and they've never done anything
like that before. That was the one that we wanted
to see. But I think a lot of the theaters
are taking up with Taylor Swift or the funny thing

(57:10):
is this look at giving.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
Blair witch vibes. If it's from always the perspective of
the dog, it might it could be weird, But I'm
interested in at least checking it out.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
I don't know, I don't know. I don't know how
they've they've done this. I've only seen like some of
the trailers, real quick clips. I didn't want to spoil
it too much. But the other movie was that people
have been talking about in such an interesting thing, Leonardo
DiCaprio's new movie, which I've heard some good things about.
I do that that's in theaters right now. And I
saw from somebody who's like a numbers person, an industry

(57:42):
a movie industry person who doesn't really do like articles
about takes and whatnot, and they said, what is consistent,
as consistent as consistent can be, is that no one,
even the people trying to buy tickets to Leonardo DiCaprio's
new movie, the people who just watched it are telling
you what they think about it. The people who are
posting about it online, the people who have seen the

(58:05):
trailer and want to talk about it, not as single
one of them seems to remember the name of the movie.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
And I don't know another one or another one.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Exactly on one battle after another is the actual name theory,
But it didn't stick with you. I've seen the trailer
twenty times or something, and I do the same thing.
I'm like, you know, the Leonardo DiCaprio movie, that's the
one that we're talking about here, all right, Let's see,
I'm really talking about that because I couldn't remember it. Yeah,
I know Leonardo DiCaprio, and I think that's what they

(58:34):
said with the big draw for a lot of people
for that film. If you're seeing any of those, let
us know, give us your thoughts afterwards. Tipsthnewsjunkie dot com.
Somebody says, if you listen to the video that teacher
posted again, Sean, if you listen to the teachers song,
she said, you act like a monkey.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
So it's reasonable to assume most children.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Do act like monkeys, and it's way less offensive or
not racist at all. I said that the song to
me was always it would be like, you know, happy birthday,
Happy birthday, Happy birthday to you, And the song to
me was always you look like a monkey, and you
smell like one too. I don't think no matter what's
how we were saying, it was like in school, I
don't think this was some some teachers like look how

(59:16):
racist I'm gonna be and then I'm gonna post this
online too. I think this was just a teacher being
doing something that she thought was funny, that it was
corny in class, so the teacher posts this video. I
think so.

Speaker 4 (59:26):
Yeah, because the teacher's filming it.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Let's let's see if she says, look like a monkey,
nobody in this class has teeth.

Speaker 9 (59:40):
Man, all right, would you like the funny song now
that I sang to you?

Speaker 10 (59:47):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (59:48):
Like this happy birthday?

Speaker 3 (59:50):
You you you live?

Speaker 1 (59:55):
You know? She said, Look, She definitely said, look.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
He is the only kid who does not like clap.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
It doesn't act is a clap at all?

Speaker 11 (01:00:09):
Want you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
Everybody? He's just looking around at all the other kids
in class. I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
I don't think it changes much either way. But she
definitely said.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Look. She said look, and that it was pretty clear
that were saying it. Those are lyrics of the song.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
If you think that you need to change the you
need to change the lyrics to that, to act instead
of look, to be less racist. If it's that much
of a worry, maybe you should shouldn't just sing not
sing it anymore?

Speaker 8 (01:00:43):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Yeah? I mean, but she didn't. She was just doing
the regular version that kids tend to do. I guess
maybe they still do in schools.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
I don't want my kids teacher put videos.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
That's where I started where I started to go with this.
I know, is that normal? It's not normal?

Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
No, No, I think you need permission. Even when I
was working as a counselor, we needed written permission to
post anything with their children involved.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
People are pretty sensitive about that with kids a lot. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Absolutely, it shouldn't be her choice, the teacher's choice to
post something like that with her kids' faces in it.
My cousin is a teacher and she posts plenty of
stuff from her classroom, But anytime there's a student in it,
there's emojis covering everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
M Yeah, I mean, look, I think that's a more
solid argument. Honestly, I would be like, hey, don't be
posting photos, videos, or anything online, especially if it's meant to, like,
in some small way, ridicule my child. I don't think
it's racist. I think everybody wants everything, well not everybody.
A limited amount of people want a lot of things
to be racist, and they just clutch pearls over everything

(01:01:48):
and freak out online and whatever. So you guys are
just going to keep doing that, like until it becomes
boring to everybody and you move on to the next thing.
So I think that's kind of dumb, and I think
most people are over it. But filming the kid and
then posting on your social media is definitely that something
that I think a lot of parents would take issue with.
I think that that is probably something that they would

(01:02:09):
see as like a violation that my kid is in
your classroom and I don't expect that you're doing stuff
like this. I think that's a legit complaint that they
could have against a parent. Don't post my kid on
your social media accounts for what? What are you trying
to be like an influencer? Teach the kids. Get up
there and teach the kids. That's what you're here for.
Show jazz boys. I think that that part of it
is absolutely stupid. This is Franz emailing the show, getting

(01:02:34):
a lot of emails in on a Friday. I appreciate
when you guys send these over. Franz says, Hey, Sean,
I've been with you since the five AM show days,
way back in twenty twelve. My god, I watched that
doctor Nard watch that documentary about the death and Apartment
three oh six. I was hoping that you can get
into more detail on why you think this was a
foreshore suicide. This is the docuseries we talked about on

(01:02:57):
I believe Hulu about Ellen Greenberg. What's her name? This
young woman. He says, I see so much more evidence,
or whatever they are to say, I see so much
more evidence pointing to murder. And the only thing that
points to suicide is the latch was closed from the inside,
where that can be done by closing the door too hard.
This happens all the time at hotels. So it's not

(01:03:17):
that he did it by accident and it all worked out.
He probably did it by accident another day, knew that
was easy to do, and then did it to help
him look innocent. Anyways, love the show, keep up the work,
says Franz. So this documentary, I don't want to restate everything,
but it's about Ellen Greenberg. Look it up, watch it
this weekend. Tell us what you think about it. It's
called Death and Apartment three oh six. Is that true

(01:03:38):
about closing the door too hard? Kind of? They said
that in the docu series. The docu series was obviously
on behalf of the family and was presenting their view
of events. I feel like, I feel like it's probably
possible to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:54):
It's possible, but it's also if he had done it
and there was no witness to him breaking down the door,
you can be inside lash the door and rip it
open to make the effect of someone trying to knock
it down. Yeah, it's two screws.

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
You're going to layer deeper and saying like he didn't
do that at all to begin with, and you know
he broke it earlier, which I guess, but in the
case of like, can you do that, yeah, I think
you probably could. And what we're talking about here is
like on a hotel room door that I keep forgetting
what the name of it is, like that lock door latch, door,
latch lock, the one for extra security in your hotel room.

(01:04:33):
You lock the other door and then you put the
latch on. If you shut a door really hard, sometimes
I can bounce and then land in a position where
it connects and locks. I think it's probably not the
easiest thing to do, but to get back to it quickly. Franz,
What I think happened here. I think this family is
very broken up about their daughter. I think the daughter

(01:04:56):
was not liking her job at all at this school.
I think she was going through through some mental issues
and having a bit of a breakdown and.

Speaker 4 (01:05:04):
Seeking help from family and other people.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
I think a lot of those family members told her, like,
you gotta stay strong, you can't quit this job, and
she really, really really wasn't enjoying it. I think that she,
in a split decision moment, decided to harm herself and
take her own life. And I think what happens when
people watch these docuseries is you're being led along by

(01:05:28):
the person who's creating this and what their vision of
this story is. It's the nature of a documentary or
a docuseries. There's always some sort of point of view.
The point of view here is that there's more to this.
I think it's interesting the level of evidence people want
for a thing that they don't naturally believe, and the
level of evidence they want for the thing that they
do naturally believe. So for me, I'm like, was there

(01:05:50):
any blood on him? No, there was no blood on him.
Was his DNA on the knives or on her anywhere?
Were there any defensive wounds on him or her as
a result of some sort of fight that may have
gone down. No, in that world, there's absolutely no evidence
that ties this fiance back to the scene. And then

(01:06:11):
for me, I think, imagine you're this guy, your fiance
is going through some things. She takes her life in
this insane over the top way, and then for the
rest of your life, half of the internet thinks you
also murdered her, and they end up chasing you down
and accusing you of all these horrific things. I think
there's a very good chance that that's the situation that

(01:06:32):
is playing out here in front of us. I don't
blame people for like taking it certain ways, and you know,
kind of our minds want to go down those paths
quite a bit, and that's fine. But for me, when
I look at it, when I look at the evidence,
when I look at what happened, when I go through
what they're saying versus what's real, and the most damning
thing is the evidence of her searches on Google, on

(01:06:54):
her computer and her phone. And people will say, well, well,
the fiance's family took her computer and chain of custody
was lost.

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
They had it for like a handful of hours.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Like they had it, and then the next day it
was declared to murder, so they had to give up
the stuff they had, and they what they did was
his family member went into the apartment and took out
all the valuables because as you know, the door lock
was broken and the door wasn't secure in the room,
and they were worried that people were going to be
going in and out of there, so they just gathered
all the valuables. I think when you look at the

(01:07:26):
preponderance of evidence that we do have, it seems to
me like this was a horrific event where she took
her own life. But you know, to each throw a
quick quick break when we come back to the next
episode with Sabrina. What's coming up on the next episode.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
What's going on the next Oh, Taylor Swift is releasing
a new album, has a movie coming out in theaters,
and but wait, what a tour? I've got the update.
If you were halfway there and they're being purchasing John
bon Jovi's Nashville bar, you still need tens of millions
of dollars. Plus according to a little rumor, Birdie, we've

House, No, well what do we just have? We had

Speaker 3 (01:11:11):
Nicole Kidman and yeah, trying to split up the hair straighteners,
and now we have another source saying that Blank needs
space from Blank Now. They've been married since two thousand
and eight, they've been living in the UK since last year.

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
H is correct. You know news. By the way, Montakor

UK for the past year.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
That's the only notable person that has actually really jumped ship.

Speaker 12 (01:12:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
One source says Portra loves Ellen dearly, but she feels
totally suffocated much of the time because every aspect of
her life is constantly micromanaged.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
She wants to go for a horse ride. All of
Ellen's former staffers are like, see, now.

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
Can't a girl just go for a horse ride or
a jog, or even a trip to the shops. It'll
be met with a dozen questions. Ellen hates going anywhere
by herself, so Porscha is always on the hook to
be by her side.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
That's called being a lesbian.

Speaker 3 (01:12:39):
Thank you, and I love hanging out with my girlfriend.
Can't wait to see you after the show.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
One Another sour says, if Ellen doesn't back off and listen,
it may well just drive Porsche.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Out of the door immediately. Who would even know this?

Speaker 5 (01:12:54):
Like?

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
It seems like it would have to be one of
them telling the press about this.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
Exactly or I mean or fake or fake?

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
I guess we'll see. We could place her bets.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
Now we got friends.

Speaker 3 (01:13:04):
They can't trust that to constantly Hollywood kind of stuff. Anyways,
a woman remember that lady who won a cool.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
One million dollars? Yeah, what about her?

Speaker 3 (01:13:20):
Here's some I don't know grounds for breaking up. She
apparently kept it a secret from her boyfriend four months.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
For four months to.

Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
Be exactly, you go on the show, you get back.
You are the biggest winner in decades, right or the
biggest story in the history of the show, and didn't
say anything.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
That's was it? You know? Based on the non disclosure agreement.
Let me tell you something, friend, and I think we
would all agree, all right, if your partner wins something
and there's an NDA, you better tell me. I don't. Yeah,
I won't say anything either. I'll keep it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
I'm also part of any secret. I mean, but that
I know when I'm telling someone.

Speaker 2 (01:14:05):
Sean would drop hints. Sean says, Sean, we.

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
Would have to say, don't say this on the air,
don't share with anybody. But Courtney, also, please sign this document.
We have to actually tell you to don't not say
things on air.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
The only person that I would tell you that I
would definitely tell is Courtney.

Speaker 5 (01:14:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
So if there was a thing I would before you,
probably that would be fine. But what what I wouldn't
do is I wouldn't like, I wouldn't be able to
keep it away from somebody that I was with, because
that seems kind of it seems like a lie almost,
it's not really. I guess I've told Courtney stuff before
before you.

Speaker 3 (01:14:43):
Wow, I mean I did too, but it was the
surprise you for your birthday.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Oh, it's fine, so I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
At one point, she joked that she would put in
her two weeks notice if she won a million dollars.
Then it was pointed out that her boss was actually
sitting in the audience at the time. She also told
Ryan Seacress, what's up, coworker I can pay off my
student loans. And then the host said to look at
the camera. What would you like to say your boss?

(01:15:12):
Walk Walker. He's in the audience. Someone is picking a
beef and if you smell it, he's cooking. It's a
medium rare dison towards this franchise, Monkey Donkey Kong is right.

(01:15:39):
You were in the lead by a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
I don't know the Donkey Kong song.

Speaker 3 (01:15:44):
That's a trap remix. Don't be alarmed.

Speaker 1 (01:15:46):
I wouldn't know the original of that one. I know
like the super Mario stuff, and I know those super
Mario Dent dun dunnet dent Dwayne.

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
I keep calling the Rock Johnson, but it seems that
he is now like not being identified as the Rock anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Well, his new movie is a serious one, is it not?

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
Yeah, but it's not in the wrestling world. It's just
Cape fighting Fox.

Speaker 1 (01:16:17):
Yeah. Yeah, he's a he's a fighter.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
Right, Dwayn. Johnson has revealed his favorite video game of
all time is Donkey Kong, but he doesn't care about
the multiple sequels or spin offs.

Speaker 1 (01:16:27):
Oo what interviewe dug deep for this hot take?

Speaker 3 (01:16:33):
I have no idea Donkey Kong originally released in nineteen
eighty one, same year as Sean was released from his
Mother's Vagina.

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
Yeah, and the iconic platform has Nintendo mascot Mario, then
known as what two points?

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Oh one?

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
What is Mario? Known as I don't know, I've thrown
up one more? Point three points total?

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
Wait Mario brothers jump Man? Oh, jump Man, I've heard
that before.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
Yeah, John Carl The game was obviously a huge success,
and forty four years later many a spinoff. Where did
He's gone? Dwayne Johnson, for no reason and nothing related
to his upcoming movie, was asked, what do you think
about video games?

Speaker 1 (01:17:17):
His favorite one?

Speaker 3 (01:17:18):
He had to go with American football series Madden. I
gotta go with the original Donkey Kong. However, he has
not played any of the other Donkey Kong games. None
of them matter, so no, okay. And now it's a
lot of people are so mad, they're gonna boycott his
new movie and everything, and they're showing him seems aggressive.

(01:17:39):
But of what COT's going on, you got to watch out,
just be careful. You also have to watch out and
take out. I mean, the most serious loan of all
time put up two houses, ask for money, from your parents,
spond if you want to buy his Nashville bar, it is.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
It's quite a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (01:18:02):
Just to put it simply, it's in Broadway Street with
all the other musicians bars in there. Yeah, we walked
right through it. I was like, oh, this looks great.
Could we get out of here because I'm overwhelmed, too
many people, too much stuff going on. But it's five
stories a little over thirty six thousand square feet. It

(01:18:23):
has been on Broadway since twenty eighteen, twenty year and
then and sale lease back with two percent annual rental increases.
How much do you think he's selling it for him?

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
I got to think that those bars in Nashville are
some of the best spots you could have a bar
of five I would say eight million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
That's one number.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
Million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:18:49):
Okay, doesn't even hold a candle to it. One hundred
and thirty million dollars. Yeah, in same yes, what hey,
look it up. He opened it in June of twenty
twenty four, so as less than a year old. West
Gray calls it one of the largest bars in Lower
Broadway and boasts eight bars, five floors, three stages, two rooftops,

(01:19:13):
including the highest rooftop bar on Broadway.

Speaker 1 (01:19:16):
Two rooftops, two rooftops. How many of them did throw
chairs off us?

Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
I think just one and none of them got mentioned
in Haley Williams new album. Other amenities include a tattoo shop,
a mechanical bool, and every NFL game with Sunday ticket
plus great food and drinks all day long, every floor
decked out, and bon Jovi memorabilia, which might be weird

(01:19:41):
because he's selling it and it could be yours for
a cool one hundred and thirty million dollars on the
boob tube. Just have a good time, be safe, stay dry,
stay what whatever you want, follow your dreams. Me on
Instagram at Sabrina Abram most in Borny. They with me.

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
America smoke Weed. Thank you, Sabrina. When we come back

(01:20:26):
You've Never Had, going through the most viral stories of
the day on the website, which is thenewsjunkie dot com.
All right, here we go, It's time to do this.
Christopher Lane, I think is prepared himself, and he appears
right now. I've prepared myself. Are you the state of Florida.
The state of Florida is possibly prepared. I don't know

(01:20:48):
if they know what's coming for them. But let's do
this thing. Let's do this Week in Florida. We're giving
you a recap of the most grown worthy stories in
the States. It's this Week in Florida really really selling today.
Let's do this thing. Dude at the party, hit the
on button there. Yeah, it's the end of the week.

(01:21:09):
Here's the weekend. I have put a little bit of
push behind it. Okay, it is the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
It's time to take a trip around the Sunshine State
and see some of the craziness that has gone on
in the past seven days or so. And despite anything
previously uttered from the mouth of Sean Watson, the National
Hurricane Center's tracking two new disturbances in the Atlantic, and
one could move across Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:21:29):
Bake news, Bake news, Hey, listen, I hope you're right.
You know, Sean previously declared the hurricane season to be over.
I did not say that. I did not say the
hurricane season is over. I said, folks, we're in the clear.
We're good.

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
Go by Mike's Weather page and Mike's weather page.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Only we have gotten past the peak of hurricane season.
All the doomers who told us it was going to
be just a terrible, god awful it's the worst hurricane
season ever. We're wrong. And we're cruising through nothing seems
to be able to hit the East coast. We've got
a little shield going on and I like that. All right, Well,
let's hope that shield stays. Our shield generator, you know,

(01:22:07):
stays that's locked in. Yeah, it's your fault though, No, no,
it's definitely not my fault. Hey, we've got a mother
of the day. Mother of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
Typically, when we say that it's a bad mother, it's
not a very good mother. We're we're erroneously awarding this.
It's a it's ingest tongue in cheek even, all right,
this mother is a badass.

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
There is a mother who goes by legion L E
G I zero N.

Speaker 2 (01:22:40):
That's her online name, Okay, and she has just won
a tournament for this game.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
Born of Combat. This song is gonna be punk play.
A mother so much cooler than my mom, for God's sake, Jesus, Well,
I'll tell you what it gets better.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
A mother of a newborn baby is going viral after
winning her local monthly fighting game tournament, all while holding
her five day old child.

Speaker 1 (01:23:13):
In her arms. Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:23:17):
If you google this, you can even find a picture
of her, and also it says she won the tournament.
I didn't even know this was possible five days after
a sea section.

Speaker 1 (01:23:26):
Jesus her baby.

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
I don't think the doctor would recommend her.

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
Saresa was born on September twenty second via sea section.
The pregnancy was a complicated one, as Legion had They're
only referring to her as Legion had developed a uterine window,
a condition where the material of the uterus had severely
thin from previous sea sections to the point where it's
nearly transparent.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
She also had severe pain in the days leading hyps
the worst.

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
I didn't know you could get out of the hospital
five days after having some sort of procedure.

Speaker 3 (01:23:59):
Like not have checked her out.

Speaker 1 (01:24:01):
She had a little newborn baby like this, and she
played the game and still beat everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
All the picture that I have is her with the
gaming controller in her hand and the baby like in
between her breasts and the controller.

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
Mbilical court after birth dripping on the floor.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
Might as well have been.

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
Five days after welcoming the baby to the world, Legion
and her hobby took their buddy of joy to the
local fighting.

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
Oh. This is the one. Yeah, that's the picture.

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
That's Legion there and that and and that's her kicking
everybody's asset Mortal Kombat. So that's awesome, well deserving of
the mother of the day. Uh now, I'll put that
up and see it now. By the way, good news
for possibly good news for pot smokers. Smokers of pot.
There's some new decisions being made in Florida courts, pointing

(01:24:55):
to laws allowing use of medical marijuana and HEMP. A
state appeals court wednesday reversed course and said police officers
cannot search vehicles only on the basis of smelling cannabis.

Speaker 1 (01:25:08):
Wow, so if you smell like weed, this is unburned
or burnt.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
The Second District Court of Appeal's main opinion is that
for generations, cannabis was illegal in all forms, rendering its
distinct odor immediately indicative of criminal activity. But the opinion
said legislative changes have fundamentally changed its definition and regulation
and made cannabis legal to possess in multiple forms, citing
the Constitution's Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizures.

(01:25:37):
The appeals court backed away from what it described as
the plane smell doctrine related to cannabis.

Speaker 3 (01:25:43):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (01:25:44):
Now, the reverse course is from a twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
One decision by the Second District that said police were
still able to use or conduct searches based on smelling weed,
But it put the Tampa Bay Area court in line
with an opinion issued last year by the Fifth District
Court of Appeal.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
Now, don't go clapping just yet.

Speaker 2 (01:26:03):
I'm pretty sure that this result, this like stemmed from
a case where the passenger had the weed, all right,
but the cops smelled the car. I smelled the weed
and said, I'm allowed to search this car because you
smell like weed. I don't know that this would fly
if you were just driving solo and the car just
reeked of pot smoke.

Speaker 3 (01:26:24):
I mean, they're saying it can't do a base off smell.
I don't. I've never liked that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:29):
I've always thought it's like these cops don't have like
some scientific level. Yeah, they don't. They don't have the
ability to tell what's what. They're just kind of using
their guts, and that shouldn't make it so they can
search your car. What are we saying?

Speaker 3 (01:26:42):
It's just they can pull that and if at that
point they were allowed to do it, you don't need
to give consent. That's what I'm understanding, right, Yeah, so
I know someone who wasn't based on the smell tinted windows,
and then it was based on my training. I know
you're so I'm gonna get a chance. I'm gonna get

(01:27:02):
the dog. If they say that, it's still gonna be
a whole thing to get the dog. Am I being detained?

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
You're there? Yeah, that's stupid. Don't do it so dumb,
so expensive, damn and I ended it the wrong thing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
Yeah, so I think this was based on just like
if you were by yourself driving and still smelled like weed,
I think they might still have a way of going. Yeah,
this is not really what that decision was for. It
was for protecting a passenger who got searched and ended
up having a bunch of more drugs too. So they
really just needed to get themselves out of this quite
sticky situation that they were in.

Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
Speaking of sicky situation, actually that's a terrible, terrible, terrible terrible.
No go, you've already done it. You've already set this up.
Tell us about this sticky situation, seelen.

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
A man was arrested after he was accused of creating
child pornography using artificial intelligence.

Speaker 3 (01:27:57):
Yeah, yeah, you know what hit the break.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
Deputies identified the suspect of his thirty nine year old
Lucas or Lucius Martin. MCSO received report claiming Martin had
images of child sexual abuse material involving two juvenile victims
stored on his cell phone. The reportee, I'm going right
past that stated that she discovered several original photos obtained

(01:28:20):
from a social media application teleg no no no, alongside
the altered versions that Martin modified using AI. So what
this guy did here was he downloaded from like a
kid's Facebook or something images of the kid and then
used AI. Deputy s Martin created the images. On June third,

(01:28:44):
he was located during a traffic stop. He refused to
apply with the man's to exit the vehicle and barricaded himself.
Tried to reset his cell phone to destroy the evidence,
which counted illegal. That is illegal. Yeah, he got a
got an extra charge for it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
No, no, no, no, I mean taking a photo of
a child that you find online and then using AI
to make that a not safe for work photo.

Speaker 3 (01:29:10):
It is, That's just one of the new laws that
was passed.

Speaker 5 (01:29:13):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
Like, So, here's the thing that's under deep fake, like
a deep fake law. It's weird that you bring that up, Sabrina.
He was charged with four counts of creating child pornography,
four counts of possession of child pornography, and one count
of destroying the evidence by you re trying to reset
the cell phone. But his arrest came just days before
a new law takes effect August October.

Speaker 1 (01:29:33):
First, excuse me.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
The law explicitly states it's illegal to generate an altered
sexual depiction of an identifiable person without consent, basically the
deep fake law, the anti deep fake law. You can't
make porn AI porn out of somebody who can be recognized.

Speaker 1 (01:29:51):
What if you just made the same thing but not
out of somebody who could be recognized, that's not against
the law.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
Well, here's it doesn't say a that. And also this
was before the law took effect.

Speaker 3 (01:30:04):
Oh yeah, so right now, so what AI platforms doing that?

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
It says the president and CEO of a cyber solutions company.
Horatio Masonette says, most reputable AI programs have guardrails to
prevent people from creating these types of images, but sadly,
there are a couple of models out there in the wild,
as we say, specifically on the dark web, that have
zero guardrails, and no matter what you ask them to

(01:30:29):
do or what the request is, the AI will execute
and generates. He encourages checking the privacy settings on your
social media and locking it down. It's your best defense,
according to the Sheriff's office. Is it impenetrable, of course
not the uh. The suspect is still being held in
Marion County Jail. His arrest report says he's currently the

(01:30:51):
suspect of a sexual molestation investigation in other countries or
another county.

Speaker 1 (01:30:55):
Surprise, huge surprise.

Speaker 2 (01:30:57):
First it was Erica Kirk, then the Mormon Church, and
now a woman who attended the execution of a man
who murdered her parents in Miami says I do forgive him.
Convicted killer Victor Tony Jones was put to death by
lethal injection on Tuesday, thirty five years after murdering a
Miami couple, The daughter of Jacob and Matilda Nestor attended

(01:31:20):
the execution, planned to saying it would bring closure. Asked
if she forgives him, she said, yes, I do. I
do forgive him. I forgive him because it's important for
me to forgive him. I won't forget it. Jones was
the thirteenth inmate to be executed in Florida, currently fronting
that record yeah, record executions for the year. A Florida

(01:31:40):
state government employee has filed a lawsuit after being the
latest fired over a social media post about Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 1 (01:31:46):
This one, Oh is Brittany Brown.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
No, this is Britney Brown, a former state biologist for
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. What Britney Brown
says the post that got her in hot water read
the whales are deeply saddened to learn of the.

Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
Sh shooting of Charlie Kirk. Haha, just kidding.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
They care exactly as much as Charlie Kirk cared about
children being shot in the classrooms, which is to say,
not at all.

Speaker 1 (01:32:08):
The FWC in with your job. We're not in line yet.
Actually that that's the only thing where I would have
said it's fireable because she kind of brought her job
into it, but.

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
The f WC said Brown's comments were not in line
with the FWC our values or our mission. They have
a zero tolerance policy towards the promotion of violence and hate.

Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
You know what it is. I know, I know a
lot of people will disagree with this. I really, as
I've shown you many times on the show, I don't
care that much. But it's a joke, right, and I
don't think we should necessarily be all that sensitive about jokes,
even when they're very offensive.

Speaker 4 (01:32:44):
It's kind of a funny joke, honestly.

Speaker 1 (01:32:47):
It's I get why people will be upset about it.
But if she didn't bring her work into it, I
would say, like, let that go.

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
Well, she is suing them based on they're taking away
her free speech, and so we'll see how that goes
for her.

Speaker 1 (01:33:02):
Time to play guess that theft ring. Seven people have.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
Been arrested in an eight hundred thousand dollars theft ring
that targeted Florida home depot stores. They sold or they
still excuse me, eight hundred thousand dollars worth of whoa.

Speaker 1 (01:33:23):
Okay, I'm going to get this Ana Larting, Okay, go ahead,
give her the detail.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
Eight hundred thousand dollars word of one thing on targeting
Florida home depot stores. Seven people have been arrested. Investigators
discovered at least forty four thefts at home depot stores
in seventeen Florida counties, including Miami, Daye, Palm Beach, and elsewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:33:44):
It's usually drug related stuff or theft rings, and it
has to be something that they can resell. So I
think it is power tools, is my guess.

Speaker 3 (01:33:56):
I'm going to go with rumba vacking cleaner.

Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
It was neither of those.

Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
It was a theft ring eight hundred thousand dollars worth
of smoke detectors.

Speaker 1 (01:34:07):
Really, it sounds like eight hundred thousand smoke detectors exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:34:11):
It was not eight hundred thousand smoke detectors, but probably
pretty close to it. I tried to get chat GBT
to tell me why, and it was saying like, I'm
not going to help you. I'm not going to help you.
You know, steal stuff, buddy, Oh okay. It says high
aggregate value when stolen in volume. It's their compact and
easy to move. It says there's existing resale and trafficking channels.

(01:34:33):
Where are you getting black market smoke detectors.

Speaker 1 (01:34:36):
Of all the things that you would.

Speaker 3 (01:34:37):
Want money, are you saving really hold on ten bucks?

Speaker 1 (01:34:41):
Let's say smoke detector on Amazon. It's got to be
pretty darn cheap, right. Some of these are fifty and
sixty bucks, sixteen bucks.

Speaker 3 (01:34:52):
Yeah, that's got to be something that you Is there
something in them that's valuable some of them.

Speaker 1 (01:34:56):
Some of them are like smarter, like connected apps and stuff.
So maybe they're a little more expensive.

Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
They say, maybe repackaging the masks masks of the origin
a specialization of repeatability or perceived lower enforcement priority where
some of the guesses that chat GPT had for guess
that theft ring this week in Florida and last but
not least, an ex Pulk County deputy was accused of
fleeing deputies a little bit. He was a little bit

(01:35:23):
drunk in the McDonald's what you call it drive through.
He went through there twice and was not very nice.
And I did not mean to rhyme just then, but
he went through there twice and was kind of rude
to the ladies there. He also had an eighteen month
old child that was not restrained in the front seat,
and so for that, mister Grady Judd, Polk County's Grady

(01:35:47):
Judd had some words for him.

Speaker 8 (01:35:50):
So, you have a child, you're in the McDonald's line,
you're mcdrunk, and you're saying really vile, nasty.

Speaker 1 (01:36:00):
Statements to the girls.

Speaker 3 (01:36:02):
Statements.

Speaker 8 (01:36:03):
So they notified law enforcement, and when we took him
into custody, he said, am I really being arrested? Well, hey,
you're not driving a mcairplane, you're meant drunk. You acted
like a mcnut You put the child's life in danger.

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
Sure, we're going to take you to.

Speaker 8 (01:36:23):
Grady's make jail. It's kind of a drive through too.
You know, we expect more people who used to work
for us. I'm embarrassed for his family. But make no mistake,
you act like a mcnutty and McDonald's and you make
drunk saying to the girls you got four more in
a child's life in danger. You're going to jail, mcjail

(01:36:46):
every mictime.

Speaker 1 (01:36:48):
Too far. You every make one of those things until mtime.

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
Don't have to make all these damn videos.

Speaker 1 (01:36:57):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
You know, that's Grady Judd's thing, man, that's like his
his morning podcast just hits The.

Speaker 1 (01:37:05):
June Show HiT's the record button.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
He's got his pictures ready and he's got his jokes,
and we thank him for that.

Speaker 1 (01:37:12):
That's it for this week in Florida. Thank you, Sea Lane.
When we come back, we've got a lot to touch
on before we wrap everything up on a Friday, we're
still watching waiting for the sentencing has not come out
yet as of the show being live in the Diddy
case when it does, and it could really spill over
to Monday. Honestly, there's some some thoughts that it might

(01:37:32):
last that long's I have no idea. I have no
idea what this is going to come out. It's gonna
be the moment the show right after the right when
we leave. It tends to be that tends to be correct.
But we'll see and we might have another poop cruise
on our hands. Friends, what's happening out at sea. We'll

(01:37:54):
give you the details inside this ship. It's not a
good time and it's coming up next on the news Junkie.

(01:38:16):
I don't know how people feel about my animal takes.
I think they're usually aligned with the general public, and
I think most people would probably agree with this stuff.
I usually just say whatever I think is right. And
the most obvious answer to any of these questions. But
in the question of animals, I think humans are so
dopey about some of this stuff. I saw that there

(01:38:37):
are these these science science of folks, scientists you might
even call them, who are working off the coast of France,
right And there was a French tourist like four or
five years ago that was swimming off the coast of France,
one of them that was killed by a shark at
the time. And now all these people have gathered years later,

(01:39:02):
and these experts want to go out and try to
find what they call problem sharks and start killing the
sharks that they think, you know, are more prone to
going after swimmers off the coast of France.

Speaker 3 (01:39:15):
They heard of Florida, they should.

Speaker 1 (01:39:18):
Probably call us, because in the state of Florida at least,
we're quite familiar with what happens with sharks. But I
can tell you, like saying, even saying the phrase problem
shark is insane to me. It's a shark. Sharks are
gonna shark. Humans are going to human, tigers are going
to tiger, deers are going to deer and everything in between.

(01:39:39):
And the bulls in Spain are gonna bowl. Every once
in a while. Sometimes you get a you know, horn
right in the backside and the rain falls mainly on
the plane. Yes it does. But these things are so
silly to me when people are like, look, here's here's
how this works. We have to get the problem sharks
out of the water, and we got to go out

(01:40:00):
there and get them.

Speaker 3 (01:40:01):
It's possibility that this French shark, it's just one of
them that likes to bite people.

Speaker 1 (01:40:08):
They said that the one that bit people. They haven't
even tied to any other attacks. They I think they
do that sometimes even when it's different sharks. I know.
Sometimes like they're like, well they all look the same.
All the sharks look the same. It is it seems
like it. But the last time they did this, they said,
the French scientists went out in their boats and killed
about five hundred sharks. They just started killing. I think

(01:40:31):
we should have an even playing field here, all right.
The sharks live in people, No, but look, the sharks
get a frenchman every once in a while. It's what happens.
It happens here in the United States too. Every once
in a while, somebody gets gobbled up by a shark.
It's just part of the game. We're in their territory

(01:40:52):
after all, I have found, and to some of you
this is kind of an unbelievable thing, but I have
found several things to be quite easy in my adult life.
To avoid being attacked by any large and dangerous animals
has been one of the easiest missions that I've had
in my life. Has not been difficult in the slightest.

(01:41:13):
I've just said, well, let me not get eaten by
a shark, and so far it's gone quite well. It
has also not getting hit by a train it's been
incredibly easy, incredibly easy, even though you're probably more likely
to be hit by a training killed than he would
buy a shark. I mean, he's had a train to
run on him, but he hasn't been hit by one. No, no, no, no.

(01:41:35):
The problem sharks, they say out off of France. What
do you think should they be offering these things to
save the people? It sounds a bit jawsy if I'm
honest with you, But let us know what you think
before we get to you and your comments, and there
are a lot of them coming in. We're going to
read your emails in a moment. I do want to
tell you about this cruise. It's a Royal Caribbean ship.

(01:41:55):
It's right off the coast of California, I think, and
they have one hundred people plus on board that all
have that neurovirus seems to be all too common on
those ships out there. Said it made up a good
chunk of the cruisers on board at the time, and

(01:42:15):
the crew members were sanitizing and deep cleaning this ship
as it was headed over to Miami.

Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
That things spread so quick it is, And the last
place I would want to be is on a you
know ship that is side uh huh, you're trying to
use the bathroom or aim properly.

Speaker 1 (01:42:37):
Yeah, that's not good. It's it's a rough one. But
nearly one hundred people on a Row Caribbean cruise coming
down with this neurovirus that seems to be one of
the easiest to spread things, Like, I think it spreads
on cruise ships faster than than COVID in the height
of things. It really is something that's pretty bad when
it starts spreading on your ship.

Speaker 4 (01:42:55):
But be safe out there, cruisers.

Speaker 2 (01:42:58):
I think that really I would be so much more
mad that I was just ruining my vacation by getting
sick than the fact that I was sick in the
first place, or the fact that I'm on the boat.
I would just be pissed that. It's like, all right,
I've been looking forward to this cruise, uh huh for
a long damn time, and now I'm missing it.

Speaker 1 (01:43:15):
Yeah, that's frustrating. We'll probably spend a lot of money too,
And I don't know if travel insurance could fix that one.
I don't know. I'll let's see what we got here.
Big Mark emails the show, and he says to tips
at the News Junkie dot Com, Happy Weekend Junkies, whoever
writes Grady Judd's comedic material needs to a be fired
immediately or be pay for the full chat GPT version.

(01:43:39):
Says Mark, I think I think he was maybe winging
that and he was just thinking about putting as many
Mick jokes in the story as possible and he Wow,
did he really burned that one out. Meanwhile, Pimot emails
the show, Hey, news Junkie and crew, a happy weekend, Sean,
can you please make this make sense? People who get
fired for posting stuff about Charlie Kirk's death, they're upset

(01:44:03):
because they say it's freedom of speech. Yet those same
people are okay with somebody dying because of what they said.
Thanks Wiggle, will go Pop Pop. I mean, I don't
know that you can really mix these two crews. Some
of these people. An alarming amount of people, I will say,
do seem absolutely fine with bloodlust over things that they
disagree with.

Speaker 4 (01:44:23):
This is a huge problem in our society.

Speaker 1 (01:44:25):
We need to recenter ourselves and say that people are
not demonic Nazis if they disagree with you.

Speaker 4 (01:44:32):
We need to push back against people who do this
kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:44:36):
But I don't think we all need to become a
bunch of Karen's and start complaining about every little joke.
At the same time, I think that happens sometimes. You know,
I said I was in support of teachers who are
posting celebrating Charlie Kirk's death to be fired, and I
stand by that. But like going on a witch hunt
to find each person who didn't agree, is the same
thing that happens on the other side of this argument,

(01:44:59):
and I don't like it when happens on either side.
Not a fan. Last one for now here is this
is Roy No hold on. Let's go over to Megan
who says, hang on, let's do this. Let's go over
to this one tips of the news junkie dot com. Sorry,
this person says, hey about the teacher who posted the

(01:45:19):
video the happy Birthday song.

Speaker 4 (01:45:21):
The teacher actually sent.

Speaker 1 (01:45:22):
The video to the mom and only to the mom,
and then the mom posted it on TikTok and Instagram
with the question is this racist? And that was the
birthday song saying you look like a monkey and you
smell like one too. That's how the video became public.
And since the teacher did send the video to the mom,
doesn't that make you feel even more like it's not racist?
She had no ill intent. Why would you send a

(01:45:43):
video to the mom? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:45:45):
Keep up the work, says Sport. Thank you for the email.

Speaker 1 (01:45:48):
Yeah, I mean, if that's the case, if she didn't
post it on her social media and only mailed it
to the mom, or send it to the mom, I
think this is yet again one of these circumstances of
these complainer squeaky wheel people who find out everything to
be racist or sexist or whatever. And I think our
best move, and the best move for local news would
be to start ignoring these people. We're moving past it.

(01:46:08):
You can be upset about legitimate issues and gripes, but
like just getting upset about every dumb thing is very
two thousand and five. So uh yeah, if the person
didn't a teacher didn't post it on their social media,
that's even less of an offense to me. But we
will take a quick break. You can still get your
thoughts in and send those over to tips tips at
thenewsjunkie dot com. Jerry Duty Coming up next, We got

(01:46:30):
this is crazy, but there was somebody who was sentenced

Oh wow, I don't know if I've ever seen this before.

Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
Like they were thirteen and they ended up getting arrested,
getting sentenced in two thousand and now they're going to
be released and they're speaking out ahead of this release.
It's quite interesting to hear. Plus another celebrity caught overseas

to this person who is involved in and convicted of
a school shooting back in two thousand and His name

(01:48:37):
is Nathaniel Brazil. But now he's like grown ass man
and he's gonna be released. And I don't know if
I've ever seen a story like this, Like somebody who
does that stuff gets sentenced and then he's about to
get out.

Speaker 2 (01:48:51):
Isn't because most school shooters are either neutralized or self neutralized.

Speaker 1 (01:48:57):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's true.

Speaker 3 (01:48:58):
Yeah, but he oh he killed a teacher.

Speaker 1 (01:49:01):
Yeah, we did. The story says. This is the story
for WPTV. A shooting happened in the final minutes of
the final day of the school before summer break at
Lake Worth Middle School.

Speaker 4 (01:49:11):
Investigators say one.

Speaker 1 (01:49:13):
Shot was fired by a thirteen year old student, claiming
the life of beloved teacher Barry Grouno. It's been more
than twenty five years since the shooting. The shooter was
ultimately convicted of second degree murder and aggravated assault with
a weapon without intent to kill. With less than three
years left on his twenty eight year prison sentence. He's
now coming out and speaking to the local media to

(01:49:36):
talk about what he's going to do next. And like
I said, it's kind of crazy to think of this.
I guess this all started where he was approached over
a water balloon fight that happened at school and he
ended up killing the teacher. But now he serves the
time almost and he's going to be released, and it's like, damn,
I never thought about this side of these things.

Speaker 4 (01:49:55):
This guy went in as a kid, a thirteen year old.

Speaker 1 (01:49:59):
Now he's a lot older than that. He's been twenty
five years. Could you imagine if you were one of
the kids that peg that dude with a water balloon
and they're like, oh my, I didn't think it would
go this far. He's gonna get out. He's going to
get out here. Now he's a grown man. He spent
the last twenty five years since the shooting thinking about this.

(01:50:20):
I want to hear from this guy. I know they
talked to him at WPTV, that's an NBC affiliate in
West Palm Beach. You know him, and they were the
people who got to talk with this dude about his
experience and what his plans are now that he's served
his time and he's going to be released after all
of this. Let's see what he said. Here we go.

Speaker 12 (01:50:44):
Tonight, a story you'll see only on WPTV. Twenty five
years ago, a student at Lakewarth Middle School killed a
blood teacher on the last day before summer break. It
was almost unheard of in the year two thousand a
school shooting.

Speaker 11 (01:50:57):
The young killer tried as a Is that true.

Speaker 1 (01:51:01):
It's two thousand. Columbine was in the nineties. Yeah, yeah,
all right, I feel like it is in the nineties.

Speaker 3 (01:51:06):
Rights not as often as it is.

Speaker 1 (01:51:08):
No, no, no, should become disturbingly much more popular to
do this all these years later. Let me see if
I can skip forward to the point where they're talking
to this guy. They give the whole story, obviously about
this shooting that happened at his middle school. But now
he's gonna be released as an.

Speaker 11 (01:51:25):
Outrun death, the very thing that put him here.

Speaker 1 (01:51:29):
It's almost over there.

Speaker 3 (01:51:33):
I was tend from the guy. It was one shot.

Speaker 1 (01:51:35):
The police had the right block. I didn't know what
was happening. Nervous, I couldn't believe that it happened. I
heard a big bang that happened in one of the classrooms.
All these kids were crying and everything.

Speaker 3 (01:51:44):
When I saw the kids running out of the building,
I knew it was a gunshot.

Speaker 1 (01:51:48):
He's crazy that they have all the footage and everything
because it wasn't even I mean as long ago some
of you weren't even born.

Speaker 2 (01:51:54):
We'll see what's going on here with this footage. What
it's in such poor quality that they have to make
it smaller on the screen because the resolution from twenty
or what two thousand, Yeah, doesn't seem that long ago.

Speaker 1 (01:52:08):
But it sucks. Yeah, they've put it on a fake
TV in the midst of the report, and now they're
talking about the guy who has served his time after
the school shooting is gonna be relieved.

Speaker 11 (01:52:17):
The down of Brazil is opening up about the seconds
that changed his life. A school shooting in the final
minutes on the final day of class before summer break.

Speaker 1 (01:52:30):
He was just thirteen. It was an accident.

Speaker 6 (01:52:34):
It was not something that I woke up that morning
with the intention of today at the day, I'm going.

Speaker 1 (01:52:40):
To do something bad.

Speaker 11 (01:52:41):
Now, thirty nine years old, we sat down crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:52:45):
He's almost forty now. He was thirteen when he shot
this teacher.

Speaker 11 (01:52:50):
Serving out the remainder of his time in a prison
near Tallahassee.

Speaker 6 (01:52:55):
I have come to look at everything that happens in life,
especially now as preparing me for something better.

Speaker 11 (01:53:06):
School surveillance tells the story.

Speaker 1 (01:53:08):
Well, you get it. He's now saying like he's reformed,
he wants a second chance, he wants to be able
to prove to people that he could be more than
just this.

Speaker 4 (01:53:17):
And he's served his time and he's ready to get out.

Speaker 1 (01:53:20):
What do you think? Let us know, set us a
dispatch over at the newsjunkie dot com, or fire off
an email to the show. Somebody sent an email and says,
I'd like to be anonymous. Good afternoon. This person has
been on local TV every night this week. The interviews
are disturbing, says this anonymous person. No way should he

(01:53:41):
be released? Well, I mean, look, he was sentenced. That's
the way our justice system works, right. They get you
with what they can get you, then they sentence you,
and then if you serve your time, yeah, did the crime,
he did the time, then you're out. After that. I
get like, he's not he's not being paroled.

Speaker 2 (01:54:02):
He's not being released on good behavior, because I think
if that was up for discussion, they would go, well,
you're still sticking with this. It was an accident thing
when you took somebody's life.

Speaker 3 (01:54:15):
But he's not defining accident what we're used to.

Speaker 1 (01:54:19):
It sounded like he said, I didn't go to school
that day, like planning on doing this.

Speaker 2 (01:54:26):
He says somewhere in the story that he didn't he
doesn't remember pulling the trigger.

Speaker 1 (01:54:31):
He thinks the gun just went off at your teacher. Yeah,
I mean the thing is. The thing is, what are
you going to do? He served his time, Now it's
time for him to get out. And the amount of
interviews seems like it's a bit much if that's really happening.
But thank you Anonymous for the update. I appreciate that.

(01:54:52):
What do you think? Tips?

Speaker 4 (01:54:53):
T I p s at thenewschunki dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:54:57):
When we come back, chat with somebody who's been in
the the headlines, A chat with somebody who's made some
news this week. Apparently we'll see what she is up to,
what she does for work, and I think it will
all surprise you. I'm interested to see what everybody's take
on this is. And we'll speak with this person when
we come back. That is coming up next on the
news Chunky. All right, Sabrand and Celian have no idea

(01:55:36):
who we're about to be talking to him, And just oh,
did you look this up already zero. All right, Well,
she gave me a hint. She didn't know it was
a surprise, so she kind of said, well, let's let's
introduce the person we're talking to. This is Taylor Humphrey
and Hi Taylor first, well can hear us?

Speaker 3 (01:55:55):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (01:55:55):
Hi Taylor, Hey guys, thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:55:59):
Thank you for being with us. Taylor gets paid quite
a bit of money, allegedly Sabrina four for doing something
that other people might look at and go, well, that
seems simple enough, but no, she says that you're gonna
need her help to really get the perfect, perfect thing
done for you. Ceilane just did this not that long ago,

(01:56:20):
in fact, and he guesses as to what this could
be what she does Seilan could have used her help.
It's not that that's a good guess with sea Lane.
It wouldn't even be that.

Speaker 2 (01:56:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:56:32):
Yeah, yeah, ceiling just did it not too long ago.

Speaker 1 (01:56:35):
Yeah, yeah, is it? Did you buy a car?

Speaker 10 (01:56:40):
No, I would say it's about two years ago. Yes, yes, Babies, Taylor, Well,
she is this woman right here.

Speaker 1 (01:56:51):
There's a lot of stories about her. This week it says,
meet the woman who will name your baby for thirty
thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:56:56):
I totally remember this story.

Speaker 1 (01:56:58):
All right, interesting this story, says Taylor. I'm Prias, San
Francisco based baby named consultant, makes a living giving advice
on the perfect monikers for the children of rich people.
First of all, is that accurate tailor? Is there? Everything
that I've read so far? Right?

Speaker 5 (01:57:16):
So what I would love to say is that while
I do offer a VIP service that you know, is
a luxury service and is priced accordingly, the majority of
my clients are regular everyday parents who are coming to
me needing name help, and they my prices start at

(01:57:40):
two hundred dollars, so I have packages. Most of my
packages are around fifteen hundred, but that thirty thousand dollars
price point, you know, we're selling newspapers here, So wow,
it is accurate, But it is you know, that would
be like a smaller portion of my business. Most of
the people that I work with are you know, just

(01:58:01):
coming to me with needing like a little just a
little extra push to make that final decision on a name.

Speaker 2 (01:58:08):
What difference between the fifteen hundred dollars package and the
thirty thousand dollars package.

Speaker 9 (01:58:13):
Well, thirty thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (01:58:15):
Is like we're talking about, you know, flying out to
do in person consultations, walking around the house, really getting
a feel for the person's lifestyle and the vibe.

Speaker 9 (01:58:28):
Under this package, I call it baby naming branding.

Speaker 5 (01:58:32):
Yeah, So we're looking at the process of baby naming
more from a kind of enterprise approach. So the clientele
at that price point, they're probably making a public name announcement,
and so we really want to make sure that that
name is going to build trust with whoever whomever they

(01:58:54):
are kind of surveying.

Speaker 1 (01:58:56):
You're talking about famous people. You're saying, these are like
the rich and famous folks, and they don't want to
screw this up.

Speaker 3 (01:59:01):
Now when we have famous baby baby branding.

Speaker 1 (01:59:04):
One thing that's crazy is she she will be brutal
when people will tell her like, hey, this is what
I'm considering naming my baby, and she'd be like bad, terrible,
not good, not good, Like if I toss how's this?
Are you ready? Yeah? Jackson Lane Love, it just saved

(01:59:26):
your thirty grand cowboy to me, all right, Jackson law boy,
all right? What about this awesome?

Speaker 9 (01:59:38):
Sounds like it sounds like a name for radio.

Speaker 1 (01:59:41):
Yeah, for radio? Yeah, just email.

Speaker 3 (01:59:45):
Let's just to get into something like this. It's not
necessarily a college course that I'm aware of.

Speaker 5 (01:59:53):
Unfortunately it's not, and I really wish that it was,
because names really are important. I've never I met someone
without a name, so we all have one, and yet
we don't talk about the importance of names. So I
really do wish that there were more classes on automatics
and like nomenclature in college. But yeah, I didn't study

(02:00:16):
this in college. This has been an interest of mine
since I was a little girl. I learned to read
and write by going to the library and picking up
these kind of old baby name books. And as you
can see, this one is very pre loved for those
who are listening on the radio. I'm holding up one

(02:00:36):
of my favorite baby name kind of encyclopedias.

Speaker 1 (02:00:40):
Oh man, and yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:00:42):
So I learned to read and write by.

Speaker 5 (02:00:44):
Going through these encyclopedias of baby names and picking out
the names that I thought looked and sounded pretty and
kind of writing them down.

Speaker 9 (02:00:52):
So that was when I was like, for whatever, you
learned to read and write.

Speaker 1 (02:00:56):
I gotta tell you, I feel like people on a
first date would think that you were throwing up, so
many red flags, you know what I mean?

Speaker 9 (02:01:02):
Many red flags?

Speaker 1 (02:01:03):
Yeah, Like like this woman will not stop talking about
baby names. We're just this is our first time going out. Well,
any woman talking about babies on the first day, that's
the red flag.

Speaker 3 (02:01:14):
She's paying for dinner and she's a badass.

Speaker 1 (02:01:17):
Entrepreneurs are well, Taylor, thank you, Thank you, Sabrina.

Speaker 9 (02:01:21):
I appreciate that, Taylor.

Speaker 1 (02:01:22):
You get you get big sums of money from rich
people to name their kids, but have like, what what
are the elements that make it a bad name? When
it's a bad name, Like if somebody you hear it
and you're just like, oh god, that is terrible. What
makes it a bad choice?

Speaker 9 (02:01:38):
So I have to be totally honest here. I I
love names. I feel like there are no mistakes in
baby naming.

Speaker 5 (02:01:45):
A bad name is one that doesn't actually align with
kind of like the values of the family that's choosing
the name, if that makes sense. So I'm trying to
think of a good example of that. But like, if
you're a staunchly like a very conservative religious family and

(02:02:07):
you chose the name, you know, which makes sense? Personally, Yeah,
I personally don't like really controversial names.

Speaker 1 (02:02:18):
What's the most controversial name you've ever heard, you know, I.

Speaker 9 (02:02:21):
Will say that this one was kind of tough.

Speaker 5 (02:02:24):
Someone came to me who every man on her husband's
side of the family had been named Adolf.

Speaker 1 (02:02:32):
Yeah, so they it was.

Speaker 5 (02:02:37):
Yeah, well, I think no relation, but it is a
German name and it got passed down all this time,
and this was going to be I think like the
sixth or seventh generation, and so there was no question
that this is what this little boy's name was going
to be.

Speaker 9 (02:02:55):
So the question kind of was around what what are
the nickname like, what are the options for nicknames and.

Speaker 3 (02:03:02):
What that sounds like them out in the real world.
The perfect reason to hire somebody like her.

Speaker 5 (02:03:08):
Because a lot of parents come to me there are
like these other kind of name conflicts going on. So
a lot of parents come because there are established naming traditions.
Maybe one parent isn't on board with that tradition wants
to buck the trend, and the other parent feels really,
you know, like really wants to carry on that tradition.

Speaker 9 (02:03:30):
So that happens fairly frequently.

Speaker 1 (02:03:33):
People are saying, are you just worried that AI can
take your job in like five seconds?

Speaker 5 (02:03:37):
Yeah, so I think that AI is a great tool
for parents who need a little bit of extra help
or want some personalized, uh, you know, suggestions. The thing
is that I'm I'm not so much focused on the
name itself anymore. Certainly, when I first started this business,

(02:03:59):
that was a huge focus of mine.

Speaker 9 (02:04:01):
Was finding the right name.

Speaker 5 (02:04:03):
Now it's more about like the process of helping parents
to make that final decision.

Speaker 9 (02:04:09):
Oftentimes I see parents who like, really love a name,
but for some reason they are.

Speaker 5 (02:04:15):
Trying to talk themselves out of it. Maybe a family
member has already said like, oh I hate that name,
or oh that's like a grandma name or a grandpa name.
Like they'll say something disparaging and so it really sours
the parent on the name that they love the most.
So there are conflicts around that. And now I view
my job more as like someone who's kind of help

(02:04:36):
helping these parents navigate the kind of murky waters that
they are.

Speaker 9 (02:04:42):
Yeah, trying to find them, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:04:44):
I just I just feel like, maybe I'm gonna against
the grain kind of guy sometimes, But I'm the one
who wants to go like, every once in a while,
can't we take a name back, Like if there was
somebody and they were going to name their kid Charles Manson.
It's been a long time, you know, like you're to
remember his name right off. You'd be like, oh, yeah,
Charles Manson, and then that person can reclaim the name

(02:05:06):
moving forward. Is that not doable?

Speaker 9 (02:05:09):
I think it's up to the parents. I really hopefully
defer to the parents on any choice if it comes
to like reviving a name, like I think that there
are many names that we should be reviving.

Speaker 5 (02:05:26):
I was actually just having a conversation, oddly enough, about
the name Lucifer, which means.

Speaker 9 (02:05:31):
Light bearer, right, It has like this really beautiful.

Speaker 5 (02:05:34):
Meaning, and on average in the US, I think about
five to seven boys are named.

Speaker 9 (02:05:40):
Lucifer in any given year.

Speaker 5 (02:05:42):
So a name that people are choosing, it's very unpopular,
you know, obviously very controversial, but it.

Speaker 9 (02:05:51):
Is a beautiful name. So I mean, I wouldn't necessarily
recommend that.

Speaker 1 (02:05:56):
I mean, it's not I would recommend it.

Speaker 4 (02:05:58):
I would say that this seems like wasteful or something.

Speaker 1 (02:06:01):
But then I think about what celebrities do name their
kids sometimes, and I think they named their kids like Apple,
and you know, you don't even know. Yeah, kids are
just like a combination of x's and z's.

Speaker 3 (02:06:14):
I love a unique name, and you know it's something
i've I will catch someone's name I think about it,
I'm like, oh, that would be cool for baby name
in the future, and then you have a discussion with
your partner and it's like, no, but that was that
girl that I went to college with and she threw
up in my car, so that ruined the name. So,

(02:06:35):
considering all the names in your entire career, could you
name your top three names right now?

Speaker 9 (02:06:43):
My personal top three for my own children?

Speaker 5 (02:06:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:06:46):
Sure, the full question.

Speaker 3 (02:06:49):
What are your top three names? Considering all the names
I've been through.

Speaker 9 (02:06:53):
Right now, I don't know what this is.

Speaker 5 (02:06:56):
I'm in a phase right now where I love names.
So like Magnus, love it. It's grand, it's bold. I
love Magdalena. I just think that's like a gorgeous biblical name.
And then Margaret, so Maggie Margaret. I just think it's traditional,

(02:07:17):
it's timeless, it's just so, it's just so kind of delightful.

Speaker 1 (02:07:21):
What about Dolores is a middle name for a man?

Speaker 8 (02:07:25):
Is that so?

Speaker 1 (02:07:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (02:07:27):
I have never heard that one, never heard it used
for a man before.

Speaker 1 (02:07:30):
Yeah, it's rare. It's rare.

Speaker 9 (02:07:32):
It's really rare. Do we have someone with that middle
name amongst us right now?

Speaker 1 (02:07:37):
I've just heard this rumors going around, as you know,
is a guy with a middle name Dolores, and people
think less of him for doing that and that being
his name. I think I celebrate it. I say it's
fantastic in every way.

Speaker 5 (02:07:50):
You know. I think that if you look back at
like Roman times, the most beefy masculine names.

Speaker 9 (02:07:56):
Ended in s. So why not Dolores? I think reclaim
that as a masculine name.

Speaker 1 (02:08:03):
Sean's and Chris's it ends in ce the Lores that
did this guy's Lauris. It's a different, it's different. Please. There.
She is Taylor Humphrey. She is from San Francisco. And
if you want the great name, the one that's going
to change your kid's life for the better, this is
who you go to. All right. She's the one who
gets paid big bucks for this. Where can people follow you?

Speaker 5 (02:08:26):
Taylor Humphrey Instagram at What's in a baby name? And
TikTok at what's in a baby name?

Speaker 9 (02:08:34):
Doula?

Speaker 1 (02:08:35):
All right, there we go, Thank you so much. We
appreciate you. Have a great weekend.

Speaker 9 (02:08:39):
Enjoying it, so nice meeting you all.

Speaker 4 (02:08:41):
There, she goes, Taylor Humphrey, thirty thousand dollars name a baby.

Speaker 1 (02:08:45):
I mean that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (02:08:49):
It.

Speaker 1 (02:08:52):
Yeah, we're glad, but we're Glaby h thirty thousand dollars
name of a baby is unhinged. But people with so
much money that they'll do it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:08:59):
What what's for her higher end clients?

Speaker 1 (02:09:02):
Yeah, of course it is. Yes, it's for the dumb
people who otherwise would have named their kid like what's
Jason Lee's kids names? Like some disturbing names. No, it's
not Sean, although Sewan has really hit the wall.

Speaker 3 (02:09:13):
I think I want to ask her what spelling like
she preferred the oh of all of them.

Speaker 1 (02:09:18):
Oh, clearly she would say s A h A w N.
I think right, she's still there. You want to have
to Taylor still here?

Speaker 9 (02:09:25):
I'm like, yeah, hell, let me weigh.

Speaker 6 (02:09:27):
In on this.

Speaker 1 (02:09:28):
Of all the Shawan options, s h A w N
s h u N with an a w n, is
it really is?

Speaker 8 (02:09:36):
Awe in?

Speaker 1 (02:09:40):
All right? I thank you, We appreciate you. Taylor, have
a great week, hend you too. Quick break, We're back
with you and your thoughts in just a moment. Joined
us on the show. Tips at the news Junkie dot com,
t I P. S at the news Junkie dot com.
All that coming up next in the News Junkie. You

(02:10:16):
know one story that kind of set me sideways a
little bit. I don't know if you guys saw this
at all. I'll see then in Sabrina. But there's the
story obviously that you've seen without a shadow of doubt
about the attack on that church, the Mormon church in Michigan, right,
And we've seen, you know, the motivations of this guy,
like apparently he really, because of an ex girlfriend, really
hated Mormon people and targeted them and put IEDs in

(02:10:39):
his vehicle, whether they were real or fake, and just
did this horrific thing. But one of the stories that
came out of the center of that was so crazy
to me. And I'll bring this up because it just
kind of stuck with me afterwards. And this is the
story about a woman who is still alive because of

(02:11:00):
what happened at that church. This woman says she spoke
with the Michigan church shooter in the middle of the attack, right, So,
like he crashes his truck into the church, he comes inside,
he starts shooting at all these people and stuff, and
in the middle of it, she stops and just starts

(02:11:21):
talking to him, and he let her live. And I
thought the conversation, so she talks about this. Lisa Lewis
is her name, a woman who was in the Michigan
church when her father and three other people were killed.
So she lost people inside this church as this attack

(02:11:42):
was going on. She said, she and the gunman locked
eyes during the chaos, and she was able to quote
look into his soul, seeing his pain and a feeling
of being lost, she said, and stack this on the
pile of people who have recently. So he done this,
she instantly forgave him with my heart. Now, Lisa Lewis,

(02:12:06):
I'm gonna stop you for a moment here. I thought
it was a little bit like, maybe too much even
for Charlie Kirk's wife a week later to be like,
I forgive you for shooting my husband in the throat,
for the grave sin of speaking words you don't like.
I thought it was a little crazy when somebody in
This Week in Florida Sea Lane's segment had said that

(02:12:28):
they forgive the person who killed their loved one, that
they were being facing the death penalty for I think
that stuff is a little like it just just better
than me. It's better than me. If you wish me
the worst, boy, do I wish you the worst back?
That's just how I'm built. And I think that sometimes,
like it seems hard to believe that people actually feel

(02:12:48):
this way. But if you instantly forgave this man in
the middle of the shooting, he wasn't even done. He
does not deserve your forgiveness, my friend, but she thought so,
she said, he let me live, the forty five year
old said. A photo of her handwritten statement she wrote
was also posted online. She said, fear breeds anger, anger, breeds, hate, hate,

(02:13:09):
breeds suffering. If we can't. If we could stop the hate,
we could stop the suffering. But stopping the hate takes
all of us. It's it's nice to say nice words,
but I don't know if that really it means.

Speaker 2 (02:13:20):
She said, Beer breeds, anger, anger, breeds hate, all right,
Anger breeds breeds suffering a lot of breeding.

Speaker 1 (02:13:29):
This is a Yoda quote? Is it some Star Wars?

Speaker 12 (02:13:34):
Really?

Speaker 2 (02:13:35):
Beer breeds anger, anger, he breeds, heidte hate, breeds suffering,
And it sounds a little Star Wars as try so.

Speaker 1 (02:13:44):
She said that she was kneeling next to her father, Craig,
seventy two years old, when the shooter approached and asked
her a question. She said, I never took my eyes
off his eyes. Something happened. I saw pain. I felt lost.
I felt he was lost. I deeply felt it with
every fiber of my being. I forgave him right there,
not with my words, but in my heart. I saw

(02:14:05):
into his soul, and he saw into mine, and he
let me live. She said, very weird, very very strange.
And I mean to have people who love you and
that you love obviously die in an attack like this.
I am not going to pass judgment on this woman
and how she wants to react to it. But I

(02:14:25):
don't know. You will never know. We'll never know why
this guy didn't actually end up taking her life when
clearly he could have. But you see these stories pop
up from now and again. The bigger question that I
want to throw out to you is if you were
in a situation like this, if you were in any
of these horrific situations that we've seen in the news,
would you be somebody who forgave like this? Let us

(02:14:46):
know what you think. Send your dispatches over at thenewsjunkie
dot com.

Speaker 4 (02:14:50):
Fairly send an email the news junkie dot com.

Speaker 1 (02:14:53):
Very cool. What's the the path to the dark side?

Speaker 10 (02:14:57):
Fear leads to anger, Anger leads to hate, leads to suffering.

Speaker 1 (02:15:03):
Oh god, it's very Yeah, that sounds like Fozzy Bear
if you play that in picture Fazzy Bear. That's That's
what I'm getting from that. But that's actually from the
movie I'm imagine. Anyhow, this woman says she spoke with
this Michigan church shooter and he let her live. What

(02:15:24):
would you have done? Unbelievable story coming out of Michigan
in the wake of this terrible incident. We'll get to
your thoughts.

Speaker 4 (02:15:31):
In fact, you know we can work in a dispatcher too.

Speaker 1 (02:15:34):
I think why not. Let's see what we got here.
Here is somebody talking about the woman we had on
the show who gets paid big money I guess to
name babies, thirty thousand dollars a pump. This person is
talking about having kids and bouncing back though.

Speaker 4 (02:15:54):
So let's see. Here's I'm not a hippie with the comment.

Speaker 1 (02:15:57):
Of having kids and bouncing that very quickly. There's a
w NBA player right now.

Speaker 4 (02:16:02):
Her name is Cheyenne park and Tay.

Speaker 6 (02:16:04):
She had a second tear back in July, was already
back on the court in September, and out tonight she's
playing in the w NBA finals.

Speaker 7 (02:16:13):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (02:16:13):
Now that's a quick bounce.

Speaker 2 (02:16:15):
The combat mom. Yeah, he's talking about the woman who
had the baby and then five days later won a
Mortal Kombat.

Speaker 3 (02:16:22):
Tournament that she had a C section two the w
NBA l Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (02:16:29):
Don't know, is that what he said that the display
her name is Cheyenne parkhead Tis and he said she
had her second kid. She was already back on the
court in September, like less than a month later.

Speaker 3 (02:16:40):
And now the sea section essentially takes those muscles and
moves them aside. So the rehab for that it's more
than a month.

Speaker 1 (02:16:50):
And I mean, it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (02:16:52):
I was just thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (02:16:53):
There's a lady in my neighborhood and we were watching
We see them, this couple walking around all the time too,
just like Courtney and I will go out and this couple.
The woman was just very obviously pregnant, and you're like
you'd be like, oh my god, she's gonna have a
baby at any moment, this lady, and then we don't
see her for like two or three days, and then
after three days we saw her and her husband, I'm assuming,

(02:17:15):
with the newborn baby in the stroller, pushing it around
the neighborhood. And she's just like Jesus Christ and what
the human body can do and bounce back from. With
women giving birth in particular, it's just absolutely stunning to me.

Speaker 2 (02:17:34):
Woman returned to the court nine weeks after giving birth,
so I'm assuming probably not a C section.

Speaker 5 (02:17:40):
But.

Speaker 1 (02:17:42):
That's crazy, all right, tell us what you think, let
us know, send us a dispatch over at the newschunkie
dot com real quick. Speaking of basketball, I tease this,
let me pay it off. Remember Brittany Griner, Of course
you do. She was in Russia. She got arrested apparently
with some weed vape pens or something, and then it
turned into an international incident, not really getting a lot
of attention. But there's a US basketball player in the

(02:18:05):
same situation right now. Jared Shaw j R. R. Ed Sahaw.
He is a basketball player who's been playing in Indonesia,
and he went down to the lobby of his apartment
complex to pick up some cannabis gummies that he had ordered.
He says he has Crohn's disease and that's why he

(02:18:26):
ordered them. And when he arrived to get his weed gummies,
so did ten undercover police officers. They took him in
and arrested the thirty five year old from Dallas, Texas.
He's currently facing the death penalty. Yeah, how.

Speaker 3 (02:18:43):
To him?

Speaker 1 (02:18:44):
I don't know for weed gummies. He's facing the death penalty.
He says, I use cannabis as a medicine. I have
Crohn's disease. And he lives in Thailand. In the offseason
cannabis is suggests to more liberal laws. But then he
was trying to get it imported I guess to Indonesia.
I think, and and maybe that's what that's that's wild.

Speaker 3 (02:19:09):
Is that not something where the ambassy comes into play?

Speaker 1 (02:19:11):
Well, yeah it would, it would, but and maybe they
don't want it to be a big deal like it was,
because then it becomes like a major international incident.

Speaker 3 (02:19:21):
Death for gummies. Then yeah, I think that should be
a big deal.

Speaker 1 (02:19:24):
Well, but then they go, what do we do? Do
we trade a bunch of people for him like we
did with Britney Griner. I guess, right, like does do
we have anybody that Indonesia wants. I would imagine He
says he has health reasons for doing all this, and
he says, I've never been through anything like this.

Speaker 4 (02:19:42):
It's the lowest point of my life. I'm in a
dark mental place.

Speaker 1 (02:19:44):
Yeah, of course you are. I would be too in
that circumstance. I'd be freaking out. But yeah, I mean, uh,
this guy now is facing life in prison or the
death penalty in Indonesia for these cannabis gummies that he
had sent to him. He ordered one hundred and thirty
two gummies. That's a lot. Crohn's disease doesn't go away,

(02:20:07):
but that is a lot of gummies. He calls it
a stupid mistake.

Speaker 3 (02:20:10):
Yeah, imagine I said that basketball court, if you didn't
have this crones under control.

Speaker 1 (02:20:15):
Well, I can tell you that without a doubt. There
are people, and they did this with Britney Grinder too,
that are like, you go to those countries. You know
the laws of those countries, too bad? Too bad. You
knew that you couldn't have these marijuana gummies. You knew
the laws in that country, but you went to that
country did it? Anyways? With Britney grinder. There was a
lot of people who felt that way. I don't know

(02:20:37):
how you feel, but let us know. Send us a
dispatch or email over at thenewschunky dot com. All right,
when we come back, we'll do the final dispatch the
stories that didn't make the cut. And today I learned
to wrap everything up for a Friday that is coming
up next on the news Chunky. All right, what do

(02:21:10):
we have on the way out? So many things to
get to.

Speaker 3 (02:21:13):
Here our final song for the news the new people listening.
We do that final number every Friday.

Speaker 1 (02:21:18):
Yep and one and two and one two three four bye.
It's a short song, it is. People have said before
as an insult that it's a short song. But as
the as the writer, you know, as the composer of
that song, it's less controversial than that birthday song for sure,

(02:21:41):
So I got that going for us. Okay birthday, so.

Speaker 3 (02:21:45):
No no is also quite controversial. I can't imagine you're
singing that to a child.

Speaker 1 (02:21:50):
The other one in the news this week, really, but
I I can't believe this. And now the only question
is how annoying is this going to be. We don't
have a ditty verdict yet. We do have a verdict,
but we don't have a sentence because today is the
day that Diddy is going to be sentenced. You know,
I was probably five minutes after the show. All I've
seen is.

Speaker 3 (02:22:10):
That he's going to address the judge. Uh huh, and
that him and his children were wheeping in the courtroom.

Speaker 1 (02:22:17):
You know, they said he put together in eleven minute
video as a pitch for the judge. So like the
video shows him at like all his charity events and
things that he's done over the years, and.

Speaker 3 (02:22:33):
Like eleven minutes compared to the hours of freak off
footage be tough.

Speaker 1 (02:22:39):
Yeah, you know, the the most interesting thing about this
to me is waiting. And you may now have already
heard the sentencing for Diddy. It's in such an interesting spot.
We have nine minutes left, so it'll be ten minutes
till the sentence. You're right, you're right right there. The
craziest thing is people want this guy to get this
very significant punishment. He could get up twenty years. The prosecution, no,

(02:23:03):
the prostitution asked for eleven. They're asking for eleven. Twenty
is the max. I don't I don't want him to
get a lot of time for this I want.

Speaker 2 (02:23:14):
I think he should get time for some of the
other terrible things that he's done, but I don't That's
not how the justice system is supposed to work.

Speaker 1 (02:23:19):
That's where the problem is because I think they tried
to get him with all these charges and all they
really got him with, not to really run it down.
But it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
Is prostitution across state lines and personally, you know, when
I think about crimes and punishments, I don't think that
the punishment for being convicted of prostitution across state lines

(02:23:42):
should be twenty years. I think that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:23:46):
We had that survey earlier this week about you know,
more men think prostitutions should be legal than women. Would
you mark yourself among the men who think that prostitution
as a job, you know, by the free will of
the woman or man doing it, should be legal.

Speaker 1 (02:24:05):
It's so tough because in some ways it's always going
to lead to some bad outcomes for people, but because
people are going to do it anyways, I would rather
it be safe for the mostly women who engage in it,
and I would be fine with it. Yes, I think
this is adults doing adult things most of the time.
But everybody doesn't look at Diddy and think about that.

(02:24:27):
They think about the video of him beating the hell
out of this woman. They think about all the women
who came forward and said how horrible he was in
treating them. They think about him going after and intimidating
people who are either like on the potentially on the jury,
or witnesses or people like kid Cuttie, like they.

Speaker 4 (02:24:48):
Just he's a bad dude. He's all around a bad dad.

Speaker 3 (02:24:50):
Already scheduling himself for speaking engagements.

Speaker 1 (02:24:54):
Bold because he doesn't care. He doesn't care, He's not
going to change. Yeah, he's gonna be the same dude
that he always iss. So it's like a struggle for
me when I go the proper sentence, because he was
only convicted of these crimes is not that much time,
but everybody wants to see him sent away for a

(02:25:15):
long time because he is that bad of a person.
So it's really an interesting.

Speaker 3 (02:25:20):
One why I managed to not get involved in this,
but have you know, be more careful about it and ten.

Speaker 1 (02:25:26):
Years there's a zero percent chance in my head that
he's not going to afterwards be like the justice system
did me wrong and you know, I never did anything
wrong and I was railroaded by him. I like, there's
just no way that he's going to say I'm a
better man now and I did something wrong. He's just
that he's not that guy. He's like he's a bad dude,

(02:25:48):
narcissists and all of those things. He thought. He told
you that he won't stop. Just remember that. My gut
tells me. I feel like the judge will probably because
he served a year already that he has. I feel
like the judge will probably not not find its significant
enough just to do time served. I feel like he

(02:26:08):
might get a little bit extra, like the I could
see the judge saying the sentence is sixteen months, eighteen months, whatever,
So it's not that he gets out immediately, but he
won't be behind the bars for too long, so people
won't think it was too lenient.

Speaker 3 (02:26:23):
But like it's happening, is it? No, That's what I
would have said, the bitch.

Speaker 1 (02:26:29):
It's not gonna happen. It's gonna happen right after the show.

Speaker 3 (02:26:32):
It really is button to go to break it will Yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (02:26:36):
Gonna You're gonna hit the button, and it's almost like
your your button to go to the commercial break, will
be firing off the news graphics on CNN.

Speaker 3 (02:26:45):
That's like, you know, you know what the hurricane's bad
because waffle house is closed. The prosecutors know when to
give the news of any sort of famous case. Is
one of the news junkies off the air.

Speaker 1 (02:26:58):
It's happening. That's that's what's going down. Like it or not,
So we'll see how it rolls out. Maybe it gets
dragged onto Monday. There was a potential of that happening,
but regardless, we'll have a whole lot more for you
and everything going viral on Monday. On the show, a
couple of emails on the way out, Big Mark says,
bringing home junkies, my third baby mama is about to

(02:27:20):
you know, and we were thinking about naming the baby
one of these. These are the two name names that
he gives up. All Ladonovite, La Doonovite or Jacarius the
two names that they're going for. Wonder what the baby
lady would think of those. I don't know, but I
didn't realize, folks. I didn't tell Selan or Sabrina about

(02:27:41):
this woman who was in some of the headlines because
it was just a silly chat at the end of
the week to have a distraction from all the other
craziness going on. And I didn't think about it at all,
but Sea Lan's doing the tech setup with her, and
then Celi goes, you're gonna be talking to Sean. You've
been emailing with him, and you're gonna be talking with
Sabrina as well. She'll be on the show and you'll

(02:28:02):
be talking with me. My name is Sea Lane. And
she's like, your name's what.

she was saying.

She got obsessed. How do you spell that? Yeah? I'm like,
why is she so worried? I'm like, oh, she's a
name person.

Speaker 2 (02:28:14):
And then she goes, she goes, she goes, oh, okay,
just I had never heard a name like that before
as a baby naming uh you know, expert or however
she described herself.

Speaker 3 (02:28:24):
I was like, I would have you know, it's very
rare celebrity names for baby. Sea Line the greatest pairs
for that.

Speaker 1 (02:28:32):
All of a sudden, somebody comes out with the ceiling
and they're like, She's like, I just there was an
epiphanmy epiphany to me. Damn it. I made it so
far through the week, and then right here, epiphany hits
me right at the end. All right, oh well, we're done.
