Speaker 2 (00:19):
Tell them that you like to watch this stream. Tell

at least to some certain extent, and spread the word
on a Share the Show Tuesday, thankful for.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
This exactly when you're doing the what do you think
before this year round table? Yeah, just say the news junkie,
the news junkie.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yes, I'm thinking they'll be like, add the last questions junkies. Yeah,
right right there, right through the roof. The ratings go
just like that. How's everybody doing on a Tuesday day?
It's our Friday. It's a nice short week. We're gonna
just kind of bust some things up today, some skulls,

(01:01):
and just move on into the weekends wide open. It's
gonna be glorious, and we're glad that you're here along
for the ride. Now, let's put our ears to the ground,
our fingers in the pole. So let's see what's happened
to this great, big, wide world of ours, and we
go to the world of football, everybody, right, man, It's
where we belong, It's where we go. What's happening over there?

(01:24):
What's going on over there today?

Speaker 4 (01:26):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I didn't hear that for the beginning of you playing
the clip, and then your microphone's out in ten tiny
when you started out is the board?

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Hear me?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Hear you? Now you're better? Now? Yeah, there you go?
Now now I got you? Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
This makes the argument I think, and I think you
guys may agree that all of these sports schemes should
be hosted by and the commentary should be done by
just regular ass people. Just regular people. Do you mean
to say? Not former football? Yeah, and like not professional

(02:02):
broadcasters at all. Joe Buck's out of here, you know,
death to Tom Brady, see you later, bye, okay, And
then you bring in just like some randos off the street,
and they are the best. There was some incident during
this forty nine Ers game and some guy filmed himself
explaining it, and I watched like three or four different

(02:24):
ESPN and you know, Fox Sports and all these different clips,
and this random guy did the best job explaining it.
So I think regular people should be doing the commentary
for these particular sports, it would be more fun. Here's
this guy. Well, if you turned off the game, we
have a developing story. Juwan Jennings is losing his sh

(02:47):
like a bat out of hell when shaking hands with
the Carolina Panthers. But but just wait, just wait right here, man,
man clock right in the face. All right. First of all,
you notice there's like a change in pace here. He's
very chill. He's just kind of hanging out. But I
like the language that he uses to describe the stuff

(03:10):
that's happening in the football game, like this fight all
started because somebody got kicked or hit or something. Here
it is. You're probably thinking to yourself, why did Juwan
Jennings loses? I am, well, you're about to find out
in a second, gonna find out. Well, there's two sides
to every story. Sure, he gets punched right in the
on the final play of the game.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
Murray just just knuttops.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Some final play right in the plumps right there. Fo
Good night from San Fran. Good night from San Frand oh,
I thought that was that's the broadcast.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Definitely like a Delco guy, But I appreciate san Fran.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
You've got yourself a new sportscaster.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
This guy's just like, right, got him right in the plump, Scott,
why did he lose his Well, you got it and
the plums. I like it. I like just the really
assault of the earth kind of broadcasting that could be
happening during these sports games. Instead it's some some person
a little too buttoned up talking about things. I have
no idea what's going on.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
In the middle of a play two and a half
men jea at six.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Pm or family guy rolls out onto the screen. It's
a little animated thing. And are are.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
The Mannings still doing that thing where they just kind
of have their own stream of the game and they
kind of do the color.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
It had those vibes though, Sea Lane, it really had
like the loose This guy's like, hey, look, you got
them right in the bulls and dumps right the plumps.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
It sounds like something that the Mannings agreed to, but
not if they have to travel like you just send uh,
you know, send me a remote kit and are you
willing to.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Pay me millions of dollars? And I do not that much? Okay,
you got yourself a deal, sports folks. That's what's happening
over there, So let us know what you think. Send
a dispatch into the show today as we dive into
the Thanksgiving break and chaos, chaos at the airport's baby
people go into the grocery stores and trying to grab

(05:14):
the last of what's available there. Already pandemonium.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
With Courtney because last time we checked there was no
carts whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
She said she found everything that she needed, but they
were really really low on stuff.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
She should have gone next door because I went after
the show yesterday. I needed to stop, you know, for
a few Thanksgiving related items.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
When you say next door, like next door the app
no chomping on next door to the store that she
was at, the smaller version of the same store, the Publics.
You could see from the Public Yes, yeah, that.

Speaker 6 (05:57):
Thing was chuck full of carts and I didn't see
anything that I was looking for was fully stocked.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
It's kind of sad, though, because folks, if you don't know,
it's a grocery store. Public's big chain obviously in the southeast,
and we have one nearby where you can see you
can literally see a Publix from another Publix, and Public
is at chap we used to make about Starbucks's. Yeah,
but it's real. It's real. This came well, it was
real in the Starbucks case too. But you have a

(06:25):
Publics that they bought out just so they didn't have
any competition, and everybody goes to Public's one, and all
the employees at Publics two are like at the window
just waiting for somebody to show up at their establishment.
But oh, we got one, we got one. You know,
everybody to their stations and they have the free gravy
taste in it's probably loaded up in there. I think

(06:46):
there's a bar and everything there is. Yeah, yeah, I
think there's a bar. So like it's really really an
attractive Edmont.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
There we go Mimosa's, you know on the weekends and
just Mimosa crazy during your Public's trip.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
He doesn't like that one though. She doesn't like it
for whatever reason. She doesn't like the something about it.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
But there's a lot of people out there on the
thing that she buys that they don't carry.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I don't know what it was, but I think maybe
she just doesn't like the layout of the store or something.
But she she likes the Publics that she goes to.
It was a little slim pickings, and I think it's
gonna be real bad obviously Tuesday, Wednesday. It's gonna be
tougher to get all the things you need, but you're
gonna get it. These stores are smart, they want to
make money. Everything's gonna be fine. The airport's maybe a

(07:30):
different story, maybe a different story, And it seems like
the Feds are more focused right now as opposed to
like making sure everybody gets through the airport. And then
maybe we Oh, I don't know. I don't want to
be a whiny little bit about it, but I was
kind of promised that we weren't gonna have to take

(07:50):
our shoes off anymore at the airport, like a long
time ago. We still have to do it. We still
have tocheck. Is anybody focused on this? No, nobody's focused
on this. What are they focused on? Well, let's listen
into what the TSA is saying and all these interviews
as Thanksgiving approaches. Here's mister Sean Duffy, here we go.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
A better job.

Speaker 7 (08:12):
And by the way, there's most flights are pretty dark,
good and people do behave really well with one another.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
It's just a few of those.

Speaker 7 (08:19):
Times where again, don't take your shoes off and put
your feet on them, you know, the chair ahead of
That's just he's.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
In front of a happy Thanksgiving sign and he's only
talking about people acting badly. One he's behind it. He's
behind that happy Thanksgiving sign. Yes you correct, behind a
little happy Thanksgiving sign. All he's talking about is like,
don't take your shoes off and put them on the
head rest of the person in front of you. Don't

(08:47):
do this.

Speaker 6 (08:48):
The contortionist is putting their feet on the head rest.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Ahead of them. You're right, that's like, I don't even
know if I could do that, even I could get
like that.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
That's the one about to try. Just now, well, I.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Gave it my best. That what you just saw was
the try. That was me giving it all that I
possibly could. But he's just talking about people behaving poorly
on the floor.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
It don't play your movie without headphones on to some
simple things that can annoy the folks around you. That you,
I mean, we don't have to do that, and so
just be cognizant and curtious.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Be cognizant and courteous. Okay, that's that is good information.
I think I want to know who got that real ready?
To play side by side of just the best of
the best airport fights. Somebody working at at CNN, I
think in that case is like, all right, we got it.
We're gonna use this eventually. Here and all of the

(09:41):
clips I've seen from this, there was nothing that was like,
we're going to make sure it's an expeditious process. We're
going to make sure you don't have to take off
your stupid shoes because of the shoebomber guy. We're going
to make sure that they blaze you right through that
stupid machine that sees through you and looks in your
underwear and everything. We're going to make sure all these things.
I didn't have to take off my shoes for either

(10:02):
flight over the weekend. I had to take off my
belt once.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
But I think sometimes, like when you our flight out
of Orlando was super early, and sometimes when you are
like at the earliest TSA, when there's nobody there, they
somehow have less rules. They're like, don't take anything out
of your laptop bag. We're fine, just just just throw
it in there, wear your shoes, your belt.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
You know, I don't even have to see all the
rest of this is a huge violation. Did you know,
I'm gonna tell you something. It's not you know, it's
the most comfortable thing to hear, But I'm gonna tell
you something. Did you know the people that work at
those full body scanners Apparently if you're a lady and
you're walking through and you it's that time of month

(10:48):
and you you camp on, they can see they can
see it. They can see it on the machine or dash.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Ma'am, you're all clear, But I think you have to
use the bathroom before the flight.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
And I always think about this. I'm like, all of
this seems sub phenomenal. It just doesn't seem like it's
as good as it could be. But that's what they're doing,
and all of the all of the talk is just
about like no fighting, no drinking.

Speaker 8 (11:16):
I was talking to passengers civility campaign. They feel like
it's putting the onus on passengers to create a more
pleasant air travel experience. I know you're putting billions of
dollars into this revamp for.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
ATC to make millions of dollars, but can.

Speaker 8 (11:30):
You talk about what you're doing immediately on your end
help with the air travel experience and talk directly to passengers.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
Here well, so I would just tell you, I mean, yes,
can everyone do a better job? Can TSA do a
better job?

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah? Okay, we do a better job as we.

Speaker 7 (11:45):
Bring more air traffic controllers online and we get a
brand new air traffic control system up and working so
we have less delays and less.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Cancelations, Yes, that's good.

Speaker 7 (11:55):
Can our airlines maybe do a better job on their end?
But in the in the end, it's my responsibility to
behave well.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I can't offload that to anybody else. It's me And
how am I going to behave?

Speaker 7 (12:11):
How I'm going to have my kids behave as we
travel together?

Speaker 2 (12:14):
See that? Keep doing this whole pivot thing, Like the
only problem with airlines in this view of the world
is just the people who are freaking out. And the
thing is, think about all the flights you guys have
been on. Not the only problem, but it is a problem.
It's a problem. It's a problem. But all the flights
you've been on, has there ever been a fight on one?
Has there ever been chaos?

Speaker 3 (12:35):
I springing those one time with the man that demanded
to be in first class because he was a pilot
and he had ten dollars.

Speaker 9 (12:44):
In cash, But probably probably a bigger problem for most
people is canceled flights, fairs that are like out of
control in some cases, substandard service TSA that's not really
as optimize as I think it could be, and all.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Of our focus, because it's a TikTok world becomes just
on the freak outs on the plane.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
I started to reach for my phone in line one
time to check bags a handful of years ago because
I thought a freak out was gonna happen, but I
didn't get to it in time, and it wasn't as
it didn't turn out to be as bad as I
was hoping it was going to be.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Sorry that happened, Yeah, yeah, ye right, yeah. All the
space bucks just I saw them float away as the
situation resolved itself, but not you know, knock on wood,
not on the plane. Yeah. I think it's just kind
of weird that we solely focus on that now. Don't
get me wrong, Like I want people to behave on

(13:47):
planes and not abuse flight attendants and whatnot. But every
time the FAA and you know, the FEDS are asked
about this, it's like, how can we make air travel better?
How can we make air travel better? It's this same
line now.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
But I think we have to think about how do
we do a better job, how do we, you know,
maintain maybe some of that frustration we have as we
travel this Thanksgiving season. Maybe we should say please and
thank you to our pilots and to our to our
flight attendant.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
That'll fix it, I.

Speaker 7 (14:15):
Think again, I call this, uh, just maybe dressing with
some respect. Uh, you know, whether it's a pair of
jeans and a and a and a decent shirt, I
would encourage people to maybe dress a little better, which
encourage us, encourages us to maybe behave all a little better.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I love the idea that that's how it works, but
I don't think so. If everybody on the flight was
wearing a suit and tie, you would just have people
fighting in a suit and tie. That's that's not going
to change it. The one thing that we'll change it.
Somebody pointed this out on the show within the last week,
is if they stop selling alcohol at airports, it would
literally fix the problem. I don't want them to do that,

(14:54):
but that's how they seem to be positioning themselves ahead
of this Thanksgiving travel schedule. So let us know what
you think. Set us a dispatch over at Thenewsjunkie dot com.
Whoever made that suggestion.

Speaker 6 (15:07):
I mean, come on, but you must be in some
sort of industry that the money is not something that
you strive for.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
You know, the solution is bigger than the problem, right like, woo,
tap the brakes there, partner, We can't make that happen. Okay,
when we come back, a news anchor is going viral
pre Thanksgiving with a little bit that she decided to do.
So we'll play that and see what's happening. We'll get
all geared up for the holidays with you, sift through

(15:37):
all the drama, updates on the cruise ship murder, mystery story,
and a whole lot more on a Tuesday, I share
the show Tuesday in fact, and that's coming up next
on the News Junkie. I think everybody has and I'm

(16:07):
I'm almost sure of this. I think everybody has some
sort of like Thanksgiving movie that they watch every single year.
And I don't want to crap all over this, but
the one that Courney has forced us to watch for
the last like ten years or so in this house,
I'm putting my foot down. We're not doing it anymore.
It's boring and bad and Planes, trains and Automobiles is

(16:30):
going we are not watching it this year. I'm jettisonting
this thing out of here. We're not watching it, You're
gonna watch it. I am not.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Just finding out about this new rule. As you know.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
She says it too. Every year she'll be like in
the kitchen making all this stuff for Thanksgiving and she'll go, God,
this movie's boring, and I go, why do we watch it?
And she goes, oh, it's you know, it's our tradition.
We watched these different things. And I said, we can
change traditions. We don't. Don't have to just keep doing
the same thing. It's not it's not necessarily good. The
movie is people getting mad in Chat can save it.

(17:07):
That movie is a snooze fast.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
All right, you ready to get more mad chat? I've
never seen it, not one leg.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
You're not missing out on anything. You've seen Best in Show? Right?
Oh okay, then you want in the best Thanksgiving movie.
And I know it's not like Best and Show doesn't
really make itself a Thanksgiving movie, but I still think
it's a Thanksgiving movie. Get mad, everybody, get mad all
you want over there. But for me, I think there's

(17:34):
people who have these Thanksgiving movies that they watch, and
there are so few of them are good. There's a
million great Christmas movies, there's a million great Halloween movies
or even like scary movies around Halloween. But when it
comes to Thanksgiving time, there's some something that we just
watch and we go I don't know. I guess this
is our thing. We got to sit here and watch this.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
What about that is Thanksgiving?

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Which I don't I think it's like happens around Thanksgiving.
I think it's like a plot point or something. But
as much as I love John Candy, it's just not good.
It's really not a winner for me. But let us
know if you have your favorites and least favorites around
these times. As we dive into Thanksgiving face first here.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
I like, sometimes I don't know that I have a
specific movie for certain holidays.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
I actually don't have something you put on every Thanksgiving.

Speaker 6 (18:28):
No, I mean half the time she's working on Thanksgiving
because she wants to be off for Christmas. So okay,
there haven't There have been few like Thanksgivings where she
hasn't had some sort of obligation.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
This one included and So.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
What I like to do is find like Thanksgiving episodes
of like old favorite shows or same thing with Christmas, like.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
You know, we love that all ready to go, which
is nice. I think Hulu just put the package together.
We just watched Modern Fans all of the episodes I.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
Would do like love it any of the Thanksgiving How
I Met your Mother's There is really no Thanksgiving off
this episode. The closest that they got is Wolf because
they mentioned Thanksgiving, I think, and they have the hate place.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
I do need your help, Okay, I need both of
you to help me with something because I don't know
how to get this message through to really change things
and improve Thanksgiving in my household. But how do I
tell Courtney to stop inviting random people? How do we?

(19:39):
Let me give you an example random. So there's an
electrician coming over and and he's working on lights in
the studio and Courtney. Courtney goes, no, I don't know him,
He's just our electrician. He's just done work around the house.
And Courty goes, I feel bad. I want to invite
him to my family these Thanksgiving meal and I go

(20:02):
why why? Why? First of all, why are you assuming
he doesn't have his very own little Thanksgiving fiesta to
go to on his own.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Looks like it in the face that he's going to
be eating McDonald's.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
That's what she's getting. She looks at these people and
she'll go, every year there's somebody who comes to do
work around the house, or you know, pops over here,
or like you know, she she'll think about them. It's
even even friends.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
That we have a sweet angel.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
There's there's somebody that we all know. And she goes,
She goes, why don't you ask them if they want
to come over to my family's Thanksgiving? And I go, no,
that's weird.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Oh god, I'm thinking for people that just gasped thing
it for justice millisecond, they were going to be invited
to the Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Like you guys, if it if I was to bring
one of YouTube Sabrina Sila comes along with me to
court Thanksgiving. No, No, it wasn't, because that would be normal.
They'd go, oh wow, this is kind of cool.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
All right, fine, as long as the turkey call for
Courdy's dad.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
But what are we do. We're gonna come to Thanksgiving dinner?
Whole family is there. Courty's entire family's there, and they
I didn't say that, Yeah, come to Thanksgiving dinner. I'm
gonna back. They'll be was I right, Yes, I'll be

(21:25):
like the law firm, who is this extra person who
you've brought along with you? And then Courty's got to
explain like, well, this is our electrician. Meanwhile he probably
has an entire family and he's missing.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Out on another light job by the way, because that
might change years this time.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
I just don't how do I stop her from trying
to invite random people to Thanksgiving? It's weird, I think.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
I mean, she's got heart of gold.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
I feel like there's a compromise in the sense of one,
it's not your house.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, that's it's kind of weird about it.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
Like I could, I could understand you getting mad if
it's like you're inviting all these people to our house.
But it's really your parents or her parents job to
get you know, to take issue with something that you know.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Sense to both of you. I have to sit next
to whoever this is the whole time.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
That was my second point. If you invite three to
four people.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
That electricians to go.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
There somewhere instead of the kids table, it's the really
sad don't have a family to go to table basically
themselves and maybe get inspired that they have an entire
year to find a place to go.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
In twenty twenty six, By the way, Florida Scratcher on
YouTube says, Sean calling them these people are saying Thanksgiving
Fiesta gives it away. It's not a Mexican that I'm
talking about, for the sake.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Of God, but they're so at all.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
No, No, Sean only hires white electricians. Guys. This is
it's been the setting stone for a long time. It's
not about the person's race. It's just we don't know
who this person is. I don't even know their name.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
And she goes, what's Greg doing for Thanksgiving?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Do you even know that?

Speaker 10 (23:09):
Quiet?

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Don't make away. Greg's here right now, don't.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
I gave you four years ago.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Greg's outside the studio working on the aquarium right now.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Hear me.

Speaker 11 (23:21):
He does.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
He has a whole family. I don't understand this, like
inviting of Randos to things. And I know it's because
she's just a sweet person and.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
She likes An.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
She's looking out for these people.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
But also, you're not hosting Thanksgiving, which I think is
a little bit easier to invite other people.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
It's not that I agree with you that it's less
my decision since it's not even at our house, but
I still just think, like, so, then if she decides
this is the case, you guys know as well as
I do, I'm gonna have to be the one who
asked the electrician if he would like to come to
our Thanksgiving dinner. I'll be the uh, what's the total? Okay,

(24:02):
do you take Zell? And by the way, do you
want to come to Thanksgiving dinner? That's weird?

Speaker 4 (24:07):
He says yes, and here's the new total.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah. Well, he's also probably gonna feel like he's pressured
to say yes because I'm making I'm signing to deal
with him in the moment. It's not good.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
I've experienced this before. Can I tell you it worked
out very nicely?

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Your Uber driver to Jimmy Buffett, He did that.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah, I forgot about that, and thank you for reminding me.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
She had the best night of her life.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Secondly, it was in college and my dorm neighbor, You're
like headed out and I was wondering when he was
going ahead to his family.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
He's like, I'm not going this yere. Things are not good,
and so I.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Called my mom and she's like, bring him, bring Stephen,
And Stephen came.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
He went to Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
He made his own mashed potatoes, the family loved it, and.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
He provided marijuana for all of my friends. I came
to the party on Buck Friday.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Didn't say anything weird, didn't cause any strange moments.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
But I don't you.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
Know, somebody says, hey, Sean, I'm a garage door and
saller and my wife and I are going to Flanagans
for Thanksgiving. Sure with like a family to go to.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
I can't be this guy. Courtney's mom would be like, oh,
bring them all over. And then next thing, I know
somebody saying I should one up her and just keep
bringing a bunch of people with me. I should. I
should just round up like a collection of strange individuals,
get the strangest collection of people ever and be like, yep,

(25:37):
you want to play games. That's how's this for a Thanksgiving?
All right?

Speaker 3 (25:41):
That ye all the time, there's somebody that has gone
to every single event for every show on the station
for the last twenty years, and Thanksgiving alone, let's go
ahead and bring them.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Sabrinas my Thanksgiving is not a radio event. Okay, I don't.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Want to make radio say you want to double down.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Somebody else in the station that already does that, So yeah,
I I can't bring myself to But is that weird?
Is my question for everybody? Let me know, is the idea, well,
is the idea to invite strangers to your Thanksgiving a
strange thing in and of itself? Is that weird? Or
is that just a nice thing? Should we be inviting

(26:23):
the electrician? Is the question I'm asking you give us
your answers over at thenewsjunkie dot com. You can record
a dispatch there or tips at the newsjunkie dot com.
We are in full Thanksgiving mode and everybody is kind
of phoning it into these last hours here, well you know,

(26:44):
just the whole week, actually the week and the weekend.
People are just kind of phoning it in. And somebody
mentioned earlier in chat that they're in goblin mode already.
It is stunning to see how not only do we
switch to the holiday mode in the last quarter of
the year so quickly, we switched to Chris so quickly,
we switched to all the Christmas music so quickly, but
people switch to this December mode so fast now where

(27:09):
you'll go, Hey, I'm gonna need you to be at
this meeting or do this thing, and they'll go, no,
it's December. I'm not really working right now. So if
you are in this goblin mode as well and already
done working, basically just phoning it in now for the
rest of twenty twenty five, I'd also like to hear

(27:30):
from you on that one. Tell us what you do
and tell you tell us your story about how you're
already done with the year. Let us know what's on
your mind today. Send a dispatch at thenewschunkie dot com
right now. Somebody says.

Speaker 6 (27:43):
Somebody says, Wizard of Oz used to always play on
Thanksgiving night. I guess like on one of the one.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
Of the networks Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Well it doesn't.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
But if you know, if back when there was only
like six TV stations and they did, they started a tradition,
you could really like affect a lot of family traditions
by just playing the Wizard of Oz and Thanksgiving that
every year.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
You know, not anymore, that's true. What's the Christmas one
they did that with? Was it a Christmas story?

Speaker 12 (28:09):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (28:10):
Yeah, there's like one station that just plays twenty four
hour a Christmas Story over and over and over again.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
But it wasn't even popular at the time. It was
just cheap for them to run direct. Yeah, and they
started running it and then people are like, well, this
is our tradition, this is what we do. That's what
I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. It's all like, we
just we got to fix some things here. I think
if you have ideas on how we can remedy all
these situations, let us know. And when we come back,
we'll get to that reporter. Maybe I'll do that at

(28:36):
the top of the hour. It's pretty great. She's reading
all these comments about her. It's a nice little holiday
mode video. So we'll get to that. We got to
get to Tara Reid just absolutely crumbling. I don't know
what's going on with her, but oh I missed this.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
Oh god, but I figured if Tara reads in the news,
it's not for something new, charitable, artistic, No, no, not.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
No, it's probably something a little bit different. What We'll
dive into that at some point today as well. Brown
Friday is on the way. What's that mean? I think
some of you know, but for those of you who
don't will discuss that's coming up next something to use
junkie question for you. This is I think exhibit Z

(29:35):
and my quest to prove that a lot of people
who call themselves scientists or even experts, I think a
lot of them pet theory here are stupid. I think
a lot of people misunderstand the idea of where intellect,
where smartness comes from. I think people will hear that

(29:55):
somebody is a doctor and automatically assume that that person
must be smart, which is in many cases a very
bad idea. I think people will hear a level of
expertise stamped on somebody's name and then just automatically assume
that that person is a smart person. And this is
the exhibit that I bring to you today on how

(30:16):
science can get pretty stupid. If you had to say
when you stopped being a well, when you became an adult. Okay,
if you had to say when you became an adult
in your life, what year do you think people become adults?
If you had to think about it, all right, but

(30:38):
I know a lot of people might say eighteen because
in the United States of American lease like a legal age
of adulthood is eighteen. If you're a man, you have
to sign up for selective service. You can get drafted
into the military. You used to be able to buy cigarettes.
Now you know you can't do that. But there are
lots of different things that you were able to do
when you became eighteen. Some people would say, no, eighteen

(30:59):
year old are vote. You know they can vote. You're
not an adult, right, so they would say, twenty one,
gotta be twenty one to drink.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
Even that I don't even know some twenty one old.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah. Of course, a lot of people keep pushing and
then they would say, well, you know, you're a soft
brain until you're like twenty five, and that's when you
become an adult. I believe there's a there's a mission
at foot here where where people are trying to push
back responsibility on younger people by saying that you become

(31:31):
an adult later on and later on and later on.
But when you if you had to put an age
on it, at what age do you think people become adults?
Before I get into why, I think this.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Is stupid off the bat, I'm gonna go twenty.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Seven, twenty seven, okay, see Land, what about you? Forty
two for forty answer. You know, forty one year old
kids out there all over the place. I mean, I
think it varies person to person because like a lot
of people have kids young and that that kind of
grows you up real quick, you know what I'm talking about. No,

(32:04):
it doesn't have to. I'm proof you can cruise right
through that and still you know.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
You know, I think there's certain life events that kind of,
you know, transition you into adulthood. Like when I first
when I bought my truck, I remember my mom going,
whoa weird? And I was like what She was like,
I don't know, that just seems like such an adult thing.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Like I didn't tell her. I mean you went there
all by yourself. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't tell her
I was doing it. I just showed up to her
house with a truck and I was like, look, I
got a truck. And she was like, ohh was mom
concerned for the financial decisions of the dealership. No, Actually,
that probably was probably a bigger surprise that nobody co

(32:52):
signed up. Do they know you're just a little boy
and they've given you a full sized truck here? Yeah,
it's basically what they were doing. Here's what the BBC says,
and this is how stupid some of these people are.
This is just dumb. Around four thousand people up to
the age of ninety had scans to reveal connections between
their brain cells. This story says researchers at the University

(33:14):
of Cambridge Cambridge showed that the brain stays in the
adolescent phase until our early thirties, when we peak, they say.
They say. The results could help us understand why the
risk of mental health disorders in dementia varies through life.
The brain is constantly changing in response to new knowledge

(33:34):
and experience, but the research shows this is not one
smooth pattern from birth to death. Here are the five
phases of your brain aging. You are a child until
you're nine years old. They say, okay, childhood goes from
birth to age nine. Then they say you are an
adolescent from nine to thirty two years old. You become

(34:01):
an adult at thirty two, and you're an adult from
thirty two to sixty six, after which sixty six to
eighty three is early aging and late aging is eighty
three and onward. They say, but you're an adult. You
don't become an adult until you become thirty two years old.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
They surveyed some people who are duh, Lulu a child
until thirty two, Well, you're a.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Child until nine. You're an adolescent, but adolescent.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
Sorry, if you're going to.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Include nine year olds. The difference between a nine year
old and a thirty two year old is catastrophically big.
It's just so big it blows up your entire plan here.
I think, I think there's.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
A big difference in an eighteen year old and a
thirty two year old.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Yeah, there is. How is there?

Speaker 13 (34:45):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (34:46):
How is there a distinction between early aging and late aging?
And there's no early adulthood?

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Okay, adolescens seems real, you know, kid like, it's his
adolescence that changes abrup From the age of nine, when
connections in the brain go through a period of ruthless efficiency.
It's a huge shift. This is the time when you're
at the greatest risk of mental health disorders. Unsurprisingly, added
lessons starts around the onset of puberty, but this is

(35:13):
the latest evidence saying it ends much later than we assumed.
It was once thought to be confined to the teenage
years before neuroscience suggested it continue in your twenties. But
now they're like Nope, not only just in your early twenties.
You're a kid into your early thirties. You're a kid
out there in the world into your early thirties. This
phase is the brain's only period when its network of

(35:33):
neurons gets more efficient. Doctor Moosley, this is the dumb
doctor at the center of this, I guess said this
backs up many measures of brain function, suggesting it peaks
in your early thirties, but added it was very interesting
that the brain stays in the same phase between nine
and thirty two. So can you imagine a thirty one
year old like not showing up for work or something
and being like, look, I'm a kid. We make mistakes.

(35:57):
What do you want from me? I'm just a wee
out of a lesson over here. Next year I finally
become an adult. And does this mean that maybe the
age of consent should be moved to thirty two years old? Now,
when you're thirty two, you can finally consent to having
sex and drinking for that matter too. We don't want
these adolescents drinking. You have to be old and voting.

(36:19):
Of course, voting does not start since you're an adolescent
until you're thirty two. Years old. Voting does not start
until thirty two.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Yeah, can't rent a car, no no, no, no, no
srip clubs, no rooms.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
No no no. If you allow that, you're allowing adolescents
into this world. We can't do that, all right. I
think this is I think this is dumb. I think
I do agree that twenty one year olds are different
than twenty five year olds, and twenty five year olds
are different than maybe like just a little bit after that.
But if you're not an adult with a direction by

(36:55):
your late twenties, you're a loser, friend, Okay, and you
need to think some things. It's time for you to
find a path in life, and don't think you're a
child until you're thirty two. Maybe you disagree, let me know,
Let us know what your thoughts are by sending a
dispatch record yours hit the record button over at thenewsjunkie
dot com, or send a dispatch to tips to ips

(37:17):
at thenewsjunkie dot com. So gotta get to brown Friday.
I mean I might want to kick that one down
the road on account of people might be eating here.
I will play for you as promised when we come back.
This news anchor who's going viral today. The video all
over the place where she started reading some comments that
viewers made about her. In fact, we will get into that.

(37:37):
I'll play it for you. It's coming up next. Send
the news junk keye. Thanksgiving is upon us, and there

(37:59):
was as a news anchor who's going viral as of
the last couple of days. Here she decided to do
a big, long super cut of her responding to a
bunch of the viewer comments. The people who watch her
on the news, if you've listened to this show for
a while, you know we've got a friend in the news.

(38:21):
Amy Kaufelt. Many other people in the news industry that
listened to the show every day, and they get weird emails.
I mean we get weird. We get really weird emails
from really weird people. But they get a lot on
social media. And this particular news anchor woman decided to
read some of the comments that she had been getting

(38:42):
back to the people. And so I bring that to
you here as we celebrate things we're thankful for. I'm
kind of thankful for this lady leaning into the creepy
comments she gets online. Let's hear from her here.

Speaker 14 (38:55):
She goes Houghter than a spoon in a crack house
on Payday, and it's a sad.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Day, she said. The first comment was Mama's looking hotter.
Old on, let me get the comment. Mama's looking hotter
than his spoon in a crack house on Payday was
the first comment for her.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
Which is all on her newsboys too.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, yeah, uh, We'll go back to the.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Beginning, Mama's you're hotter than a spoon in a crackhouse
on Payday.

Speaker 9 (39:22):
It's a sad day for men who live in their parents' basement.

Speaker 7 (39:25):
We did get Caucasian Lizzo before GTA six.

Speaker 15 (39:32):
About a second fat the pokemon called jiggly Puff, but
in human form, And I do think we.

Speaker 5 (39:39):
Have a picture of the.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Who was working with her on this is having a laugh, right,
She's the person is just dying.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
It's uncanny bangs. She's got bangs too.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
They're looking at a photo of Jigglypuff because the user
thought she looked like a Pokemon cast. Right.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
That's kind of like, is that a compliment?

Speaker 14 (40:06):
I'm taking it as a compliment, So if they meant
it to be mean, gotta.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
Try harder than that.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Take that.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
This is who, sir, mix a lot was rapping about.

Speaker 16 (40:16):
And if you don't get that reference, it's time to
do your homework and.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
Go to bed. Okamn, girl, you.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Look like I'm about to get featured on your news channel.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
That's a creepy one in many different ways. Damn girl,
you look like I'm about to get featured on your
news channel. Is this particular comment?

Speaker 6 (40:37):
Did they make this comment before or after she started
this reading them on the air?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Bit, Let's hope you yeah, if it's If it's before,
then he might mean that he's trying to murder her.
So I don't know it. It's tough. It seems like
commit a crime for you commit a cry.

Speaker 5 (41:02):
Oh, get featured on the evening news.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
She's just what the hell? She's like, Oh, this is worse.
And I thought this is a nefarious thing going on here.
Let's see what else she has.

Speaker 5 (41:18):
I didn'tn't realize he was gonna partake in criminal activities.
You look like you could survive a harsh winter. She's
thicker than zoo glass.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
That's funny.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Thicker than zoo glass is solid. It's pretty good. Actually,
let's see if there's anything else good. Here is what I.

Speaker 5 (41:44):
Gotta learn how to flex.

Speaker 17 (41:45):
Like it, like, how is he?

Speaker 5 (41:47):

hard with themselves. Oh yes, six seven, I see, okay.
Step aside, Sabrina Carpenter. Here comes Sabrina Linebacker.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
I thought it was just a one no.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
No guys, When did Sabrina Carpenter eat Sabrina Carpenter? We
have Sabrina Carpenter at home, Sabrina contractor. If Sabrina Carpenter
had a bakery and that that'll do it, I think

(42:39):
for us. But there you go bed times with her.
She's taking it in stride over there, this particular news
anchor almost of the three.

Speaker 6 (42:51):
Bigger ladies on TikTok that were like you've had like
you heard of elf on a shelf, Now here's but
they never finished it, and the comments actually just went
loud and wild and very offensive but hilarious.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
It's the only time when the comment section is actually great.
That's when I like when I go into a comment
section ly that I'm like, look at this, look at this,
this is good if it's anything about politics, it's always
a catastrophe.

Speaker 6 (43:18):
Just help on a shelf. And I think my favorite
comment was a nine if you combine.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Brutal but funny all at the same time. We got
a bunch of your feedback coming in and we could
do that, So let's see what we got here. Tips
Atthews Junkie dot Com. Oh this is somebody who won
the Office of the Day thing yesterday. Well, thank you.
I will email you after the show and I'll hook
you up with some stuff. Let's go to one or
two dispatches very quickly, because that's how you can join

(43:50):
us on the program. Here is wicked is talking about
the scientists and studies and stupid thoughts that flowed out
in these news articles like the story that said you're
not an adult until you hit the age of thirty two,
which was in the news today. It says you were
an adolescent until the age of thirty two, really opening

(44:12):
the way for excuses for a lot of people, including Courty,
who comes to the door. She's like, I'm just I'm
brand new to adulthood, so you got to be easy
on me. I'm not that old. I'm only and oh my,
you know what that means.

Speaker 6 (44:26):
But you're going to have to be easy on her
and let her watch planes, trains, and automobiles.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
No, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. Here's
wicked with a dispatch.

Speaker 18 (44:36):
You know, you guys in the media do this stuff
where you'll have one study and you guys will take
that one study and make a headline out of it
and talk about how ridiculous this one study is.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
But it's just that it's one study.

Speaker 18 (44:49):
Still got to be peer reviewed, people still got to
go over it just because one scientist finds that people.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Okay, all right, I'm going to stop there because this
sounded terrible. Wicked next time until we he updates some
of the stuff on the site, do a video dispatch
because it'll be nice and clear in the meantime. Thanks.
I think there's a lot of peer reviewed studies that
are also stupid, just for the record, because all it
takes is a hive mind of people to be like, yes,
yes we do, and we agree with that, yes I

(45:16):
agree with that doing everybody agrees, and then you go,
this must be genius, and oftentimes it's quite stupid. I mean,
this is not just this is broadly speaking about the
issue of expertise and science and all the rest here
is insecure Walris who wants to fight over planes, trains
and automobiles? I stand by it. It's not a great movie.

Speaker 19 (45:38):
John, You and I agree about many many things. However, planes,
trains and Automobiles is not one of those things.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
I think it's a great movie.

Speaker 19 (45:47):
Steve Martin, I mean, he's had some good performances over
the years. A lot of his movies are a little
bit boring if he wrote them and stuff, But I
think that's one of his best movies for me. And
then John Candy, I mean he was. I mean I
love the greatest John Candy movie ever almost just he's
playing a character that's not himself necessarily, and some of

(46:09):
the other movies he's kind of playing a big version
of himself, I think.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
But he just does such a good job.

Speaker 19 (46:15):
I mean, there's moments that make you tear up and cry,
and there's really funny moments. It's a John Hughes classic.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
So we watched it just the other night. I enjoy it.
I'll tell you what I would like better. And if
this is impossible, nobody can ever make this happen, but
I would I would have loved for this to be
the thing. Maybe with AI one day you could make
something like this. But if you could take John Candy,
who I agree not only is Seelane's doppelganger in many ways,

(46:42):
but it's also very, very funny. I love John Candy.
It's so good in so many movies. If they instead
of doing a movie with Steve Martin planes, trains and
automobiles and try to push that on us as the
Thanksgiving movie, if they did an entire movie about the
character that John Candy played in Home Alone, I'd watch it,
No Doubell, Yeah, I'd watch that, no doubt. The Poka guy,

(47:05):
you know, PoCA PoCA Poke Coca King and he tells
the story about the the kid that they left behind
at the funeral home and he said, you know, he
started talking about six months later or whatever. That character.
He was so funny in that and so good night.
I'd watch a whole movie about the Poka King. I
would be a huge fan of that. He made Lane

(47:27):
Strains and Houtmobiles was boring to me.

Speaker 6 (47:28):
He made less for Home Alone because he did it
as a favor to John Hughes.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
He made less for that movie than the pizza guy
did the pizza. Yeah, the one.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
That was like yelling that they used the sound effects
for it.

Speaker 5 (47:43):
How about.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
I just watched have of it for the first time
in my life the other day home alone.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Yeah, my god.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
The party uses the sound effects from the old timey.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Movie, right.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Yeah, And that was Souls more than John Kandy.

Speaker 6 (47:56):
He made four hundred and fourteen dollars. He did all
his scenes in one Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
He just showed up for one day to film the
scene in the airport and then the scene and like
the van that they're in or the U haul or whatever.

Speaker 6 (48:08):
It wasn't a U haul. It was a budget I think. Okay,
And that's Pulinski and a lot of it.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Sabrina was him just improving and just kind of winging
it in the moment. But he's so good now.

Speaker 4 (48:21):
You have to watch planes, trains and automobile.

Speaker 8 (48:24):
No.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
I like him, I like Steve Martin, I like I
like all the people involved. I just don't think that
is a good movie. Okay. Got Crypto is saying Sean
complaining about a movie he hasn't seen. Got Crypto, you're
complaining about something you haven't seen. Because you're complaining about
a thing. I didn't say. I watched this movie. You're
saying I haven't seen it. I watched it every year

(48:47):
on Thanksgiving for twelve years. Stright, Okay, I have a
solid thought on whether or not I like this movie.
I don't like planes, trains, and automobiles, and you can't
make me. I'm just not on board. I'm not going
to change my mind on that. I don't think you
never know. We've got more from you coming in, so
keep sending us your dispatches so we can see what

(49:09):
you have on your mind. Here is concrete. Mic is
talking about the airports situation the weekend, even new Showky Crew. Hey, so,
the only people that would suggest to.

Speaker 20 (49:22):
Take alcohol out of the airports are people that do
not drink alcohol. I said what I've said. I stand
by my thoughts.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
That's it. Yeah, I do think the people who say
taking alcohol out of the airports would make things better.
I do think they're right, But I think it's too
big of a change that I don't like, so I'm
going to have to not support it. I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
It's not the majority of people that drink. They just
make us look.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Bad, but it's not the majority of people. That drink
to cause the problem. Yeah, I think that the I
might be wrong about this, but my gut tells me
the majority of the people who are causing the problems
are often drunk. I think I would think that that
was the case. What should they punish everybody, including us?

(50:13):
This sounds a little a little unfair, a little messed up.
I'm not a huge fan of that, but let us
know what you think. No, solid note, Yeah, solid nose
all the way around. I think probably let's talk about
this real quick. These brothers who had a moment when

(50:34):
their mother died and they were cleaning out her house.
You guys might have seen this, but these three brothers
mom dies, the cleaning out mom's house to get her
stuff already and get everything ready to sell, and they
find this a copy of the first Superman comic, Superman
number one, in the attic of their dead mom's house,

(50:56):
and they said, oh my god, this thing's in a
really great condition. Actually it was already graded when they
found it, or they have it graded. I think they
had it graded. I think they had it graded afterwards.
And it's a It was great at a nine point
zero the first Superman, and it just sold at an
auction for a pretty astonishing amount of money. They just
found this and mom didn't tell him anything about it

(51:17):
or whatever.

Speaker 16 (51:17):
So we had for auction the very highest certified graded
copy of Superman number one, graded nine point zero on
a scale of one to.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Ten ten cents.

Speaker 5 (51:29):
The fact that there was a lot.

Speaker 16 (51:30):
Of spirited bidding, it shattered the previous world record, and
I think a lot of people, you know, globally got
very excited to see something like this. And I think
what actually really added to the story was how it
was found, that this was, you know, a new find, that.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
It was found in the attic of their mother's house
who had just died, and it sold at auction for
nine point one two million dollars. My god, damn, ain't
too bad. If you'll just take a look around in
your place, maybe you find one of those first editions Superman's.

Speaker 4 (52:09):
All of the stuff that's valuable.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Now, that's a shame, that's a true, true shame. Okay,
we're going to take a quick break. When we come back,
we shall hear from you. You can join us on
the show by sending us what we call a dispatch,
send yours right now, How do we do this, you said,
how do I send this dispatch in you go to
the news Junkie dot com or your phone or laptop
and just hit record and whatever is on your mind

(52:34):
is what we'll hear on the show here in just
a bit or email tips t ips at the Newsjunkie
dot com. We're going to continue to wander into a
lovely Thanksgiving break, and we're thankful for you, We truly are.
We hope you're thankful for the rest of the show
that is coming up next. In the News Junkie. We

(53:07):
do try to on this show not only watch all
things happening in the world of viral news. We try
to be way ahead of everybody, which we generally are
here on the show. This is the world's most viral newsroom,
but we try to watch world news as well. And
in fact, way back in the day, we had a
world news segment. Yes, last we had we had her

(53:31):
story was in Texas. We had an intern and she
was like, can I do anything? Can I do like
a segment on the show. We go, yeah, we got
a segment for you. We usually do our world news
segment at this time, and she she like disconnected from
the show and started preparing, preparing, preparing, preparing for her segment,

(53:51):
and then she started out her World News segment with
a story from Texas and.

Speaker 4 (53:57):
Katy Perry, and she did a great up.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
She did a great job from there, but she went
along with it. We we do focus on things happening
in the world, though, and that's why I want to
congratulate a politician for their election win in Namibia. Namibia,
great country in Africa. I want to congratulate a politician

(54:21):
who just won in the election there. Adolf Hitler. Congratulations too,
Congratulations you did it. They said you couldn't do it.
They said, your name is probably going to make it
tough to win any political battles that you're engaging in.

Speaker 4 (54:36):
That is a given name.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Yes, it's as an African politician with an unfortunate name,
just one reelection. He says he sees his name as quote,
a totally normal name, but a politician called Adolf Hitler
is set to win in his home country. He said
his father had no idea about the Nazi leader's significance
when he named his son. You gotta take some time, folks,

(55:03):
you gotta put the work in. Selam just named his
son a couple of years ago. You just wing it.
You think about it a bit.

Speaker 6 (55:10):
Has has this guy uh had any other life milestones before,
like has he been in politics long?

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Or has he won something before? He must have. Well,
this is his reelection, so.

Speaker 6 (55:21):
He might at least I want to I want to
call attention to this clip.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
It's five years old. So once again, congratulations to him.
Congrats Adolf Hitler. Oh is it the same exact guy
or is it hope it is?

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Is that the funt election tribute to his reelection?

Speaker 2 (55:43):
No I did. I would never yes, name even the
name alone. Adolf Hitler fifty nine years old, poise to
win a second local election, so it must have been
the first one in twenty twenty. Was that from twenty twenty? Yes,
we celebrated the first time too, So once again, congratulations
to him. Congrats Eateolf Hitler. Same bit.

Speaker 4 (56:05):
At the end of that clip, and I'm pretty heard you.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Nothing changes around here. He's a member of the left
wing Swapo party. He previously spoke about his infamous name
after coming to attention following his win in the Omba
Dunjaja constituency. His father probably didn't understand what the person
he named his son after stood for as a child.

(56:30):
I saw it is totally a normal name, he said.
Congratulations once more. See in four years, Pal, we'll do
it all over again. Round and round we go.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
There are some people, as I said, who remain unhappy
despite the fact that it's Thanksgiving. They remain upset about
the holidays, and they want you to know about this.
They're encouraging you to switch things up. In fact, for
you're Thanksgiving. Let's see what they've said this year. Let's
listen to any If there's.

Speaker 14 (57:04):
One thing you can't accuse animal rights group the PITA
of it's being to settle.

Speaker 5 (57:08):
Take a look at this.

Speaker 14 (57:10):
It's latest protest in Shreveport, Louisiana. The group put up
a display featuring a man in flesh colored shorts posing
like a turkey. Point was to show that, like people,
the birds also feel pain, love and fear and joy.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
Ro to the guy who is doing this. This is
a PITA display. There are two large fake turkeys, and
then there's a man in the pose of a turkey
next to it. Sir, how did you hold that pose
for all this time? He's on his back and he's
got his legs up in his legs up in the

(57:46):
air off the ground and then in his arms up
like he's like a turkey body and he's just holding
this on this display where they encourage people to not
eat animals for Thanksgiving. Not going to work for me, fortunately, Pete.
I'm sorry. I wish you the best of luck with
everybody else, but not going to work for me. I
still don't know how this guy did this.

Speaker 14 (58:06):
There's are encouraging families to go vegan for Thanksgiving and
have a thanks vegan and to help do that, they
handle that boks for Thanksgiving food with.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
No animal products.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Well that's one that's one way to protest.

Speaker 16 (58:18):
Yeah, for sure, you got to stay in that position
for for a pretty long time.

Speaker 5 (58:21):
Yeah, workout to you.

Speaker 15 (58:22):
At the same time, he kind of is do some
little pilates and some yoga too, be crunches.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Yeah, you guys get matching times, Bruce, this is like this,
Could this be a radio show that comes on after us?
I would love for nothing against the radio show that
comes on after us. But if these two guys are
sitting here, and you know, we talk about this all
the time. This happens in news where they go hey,

(58:49):
on the teleprompter, it'll say Vanter, vamp or banter for
some amount of time, and they now they have to
talk to each other and they can't just read things
off the tele.

Speaker 16 (59:00):
Yeah, for sure, you gotta stay in that position for
for a pretty long time.

Speaker 15 (59:03):
It's a good workout to you at the same time,
and belly crunches right, Yeah, Thanksgiving, that is quite a
way Anyways, this weather, thanks for talking away.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Uh, not going to be a morning show anytime soon,
these two together. But there's potential chemistry. They did they
do that? They must have done it on purpose. It
must be like a breast cancer thing or something. To
wear the same pink top these two guys, But that's October.
I agree that the timing seems off, but there are
two dudes wearing two of the exact same pink ties

(59:41):
at the same time. It just seems a little strange,
But maybe there's reasoning for this. Who knows. Give us
your thoughts. Are you skipping all the meats? Are you
going for a peta vegan Thanksgiving? Probably not, Thanks Vivo
R Let us know if your thanks Vegan is going
to be kicked off this year with any sort of excitement.

hughes all of that fantastic sauce.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
If you haven't seen Uncle Buck.

Speaker 11 (01:00:23):
Yet, it's basically what you were just asking for in
terms of the story of the Polka King.

Speaker 4 (01:00:29):
True, it's just it's a really great movie.

Speaker 11 (01:00:31):
If you haven't seen it, it's a ten out a ten,
have a good one, guys.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):

of the line Thanksgiving movies that aren't planes, trains and automobile.
Send those through at the news Junkie dot com or
email the show tips at thenewsjunkie dot com. When we

(01:00:55):
come back the next episode with Sabrina, what's coming up
on the next episode.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
On the next episode, Dude, the lead singer of a rock band,
got his lead dinger circumcised and brought out his doctor
to celebrate Hater's Gonna Hat and according to reports, Hater's
Gonna get train wrecks a second season, plus all the
things we're thankful for, including celebrity truck stop saw that
so much more coming up on the next episode.

Speaker 12 (01:01:25):
And that is coming up next on the news Chunky.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
I thought Tara Reid had it all together. I thought
she had like kind of fixed some of the chaos
in her life. But I don't, I don't know. Wasn't
she didn't she like Paris Hilton kind of No, not
not Paris Hilton. Lindsay Lohan, Lohan got herself together, chaos
and all kinds of weird stuff was happening. We listened
to the next episode and be like, here's the weird

(01:02:06):
thing she's done this week or whatever. And she seems
to have it together. She seems like she finally became
an adult. Maybe they were right about the age of
adulthood thing. Was Lohan under the same thing that Britney
Spears was?

Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
Yes, for a minute, the conservative.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Was she I don't, yeah, I don't remember her lead.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
She was, but then they found that her you know,
dad was very screwy. I think he went to jail
for something along those lines, and she did the whole
thing where she was speaking a different accent.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
Well, she got it together, But am I Terry re
didn't get it together? Is what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
No, but she's kind of just been terror reading it
and under the radar. I haven't talked about her in
a very long time.

Speaker 4 (01:02:48):
I found an.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Old clip that I'm going to use to introduce the story,
and that was from like twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
My favorite Terror Reid moment was when she was doing
an interview and she had I'm gonna air quote this
an accidental wardrobe malfunction. Yeah, and it wasn't just like
so many of these other ones, whereas maybe a little
bit of this popped out or a little bit she
had an entire boob that one. Didn't she not notice?

(01:03:16):
She said, she didn't notice. I feel like you just
the air hitting that thing.

Speaker 6 (01:03:21):
Yeah, Like didn't somebody on her team or you're like
that was was with her had to like quickly tuck
it back in or pull the.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Dress up over or something. Yeah, but I thought she
had it together. I guess we're gonna find out that
that wasn't the case. Let's see what else we find
out along the way. Let's do the next episode, because
there's a lot on TV and you can't possibly keep
up with all of it, even though you should, because
what else are you going to talk about? Mama's looking
hotter than a spoon in a crackhouse on Payday. It's

(01:03:52):
time for the next episode with Sabrina.

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
Hey, hold up.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
The next episode brought to you by that mortgage Guy Don,
That mortgage Guy Don dot com, The Homelands Radio Show
and Your New Better Life, putting cash back in your
hands and taking it off the table, refinancing that beautiful
home own or.

Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
Finally getting your dream home.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
When it comes to big life decisions like that, got
to work with someone who's got your back, who's an expert,
but a friend, and that's that mortgage guy Don. Start
the process today by going to that mortgage Guy Don
dot com.

Speaker 5 (01:04:33):
Don't miss the vocal.

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
Mortgage guy dot com. It was a mirror twelve years
ago twenty thirteen, a guy, this guy right here.

Speaker 11 (01:04:48):
I want to tell you something.

Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
That is fact.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
And he made an ass out of himself many times,
including on The Dance twenty thirteen when his show up
Late with Alec Baldwin was canceled after five episodes all of.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
A sudden, like a nighttime talk show.

Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
It absolutely was, and you remember that, yeah, exactly. It
probably wasn't great, but that's not the reason it was canceled.
It was canceled because he went on a homophobic street
tirade that was captured on video. My favorite part is
that he blamed Glad and the fundamentalist wing of gay
advocacy for the cancelation. Always blame the gays. True, it

(01:05:36):
remains one of the many incidents that he has had,
But I don't know where he stanced with Glad or
the incidents.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
That's not my memory of Alec Baldwin's career. I'm pretty
sure he's been scandal free.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
He's been fine. We had the little Piggy thing, yea
kills someone on the movies at Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
I mean, that is fantastic that there is audio of
him leaving a voicemail for his day about to say
it's fantastic that he killed someone. No, no, no, it's
fantastic that we have audio of him calling his daughter
a little piggy and the whole fallout from that, and
he's just kind of shrugged it off, like Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
Fine, I mean, and she roasted them pretty good. Yes,
roast plus.

Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
The bald ones was the gift that kept on giving
all four episodes that I watched.

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
M hm.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
So there you have it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
Happy anniversary, and now let's go to something I'm sure
I will read in the future as on this day
in history, we have miss Tara Reid.

Speaker 13 (01:06:38):
And I'm going to be in it, dropping it, shake
my ass, new stopping it.

Speaker 4 (01:06:43):
I look hot in it.

Speaker 5 (01:06:45):
I look hot in it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
Damn.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
Tara Reid is back in the news and she was
spotted leaving a hotel bar on a stretcher.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Yeah, that's not good.

Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
I sent you the video.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
It's another one with the green background one right above it. Okay,
got it TMZ posted on TikTok.

Speaker 4 (01:07:06):
Center. But please, here's the.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
Ultra stricken Okay. In the background, I'll explain you. There's
like a seating area at this I believe it's a hotel.
It's a lobby, and she's wearing a big fur coat,
and there's somebody just kind of like keeping her standing
up straight.

Speaker 4 (01:07:23):
Yeah, and the girls are not sure her.

Speaker 5 (01:07:29):
Until you can hear it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
She's really in the chair.

Speaker 4 (01:07:40):
That's a wheelchair. The security is asking her.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Give her a second, give her a pro That's like
hotel security said, you touch me again, you're gonna have
a problem.

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
I was asking her to be in a wheelchair because
of a whole bunch of stuff going on, and she
is not able to hold herself up.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
She's drunk. She's really drunk.

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
So here's the thing. She is now stating that she
was drugged. Yeah, so I will give the credit or
the experience that Tara Reid is known to be a
party girl, true and is not had any issues in
the past being drunk in public. So if she sees

(01:08:22):
this moment, after all this, all the nachas on her
drinking belt, then maybe she was drugged. That would take
her word for it, because she's experienced. Several people try
to get her into a wheelchair, she slid off, they
put her on a stretcher and drunk.

Speaker 4 (01:08:42):
She claims she was drugs.

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
She told TMZ she ordered one drink that night and
went out for a smoke break before it was done.
Then she came back, finished it and boom hospital.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
Okay, if she indeed ordered one drink, it is like this,
she was drugged. Okay. If the if for for real,
well no other bars were involved. No other If you
got one drink and you need to be put in
a wheelchair, somebody must have slipped something in your drink.
But if you, I mean, maybe she just drank a
whole bunch more because she is really messed up.

Speaker 5 (01:09:14):
I look hot in it loo.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
So she has had a statement said that she foiled
the police report and added that she just urges everyone
to be careful, watch your drinks and never leave them unattended,
as this can happen to anyone.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
I have her talking to TMZ. If you want to
hear this, let me just see. Just give me one second,
because I guess she like called them up on their
TMZ set.

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
And so I got to.

Speaker 13 (01:09:41):
The hotel, I checked in, and then I went downstairs.

Speaker 4 (01:09:46):
A drink and have a cigarette.

Speaker 13 (01:09:48):
And I got my drink and I left down the
bar and I went outside smoked a cigarette, and there's
a bunch of YouTubers there in the lobby like everywhere,
and their videot being stuff, and you know, everything was
this is weird. And then I went back to the
bar and my drink was covered up with a napkin,
and I thought that was weird because I didn't put

(01:10:09):
that over my drink. I drank my drink and without
even like finishing my drink, I just like passed out.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Oh, she said that was it? She was she kind
of blaming the YouTubers there, or was she bringing that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:23):
I'm getting a vibe that it's YouTubers are the fact
that it is being filmed.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
You gotta watch out for those YouTubers.

Speaker 6 (01:10:31):
Coming up my hilarious prank video where I drugged.

Speaker 2 (01:10:33):
Tara Reid.

Speaker 4 (01:10:36):
Like and subscribe.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
You'll never guess what happens next. Mister beast is outside
on this video.

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
This brought to you by Saudi Arabia. This brought to
you by all the haters. I don't know how it happened.
Yes I do, because it is being played in my household.
I It's found a place in my heart for some reason.
Even though it's a ringe watch the hardest cringe.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (01:11:04):
All's Fair?

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
All Fair? Oh yeah, god, season, Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:11:12):
It is so it's so bad.

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
It's so bad, even though I love people in it,
but good god.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
The argument over this was okay, real quick. It's called
All's Fair, it's on It's on Hulu, and it was
done by the Ryan Murphy Guy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:30):
I believe Ryan Murphy has many successful shows and a
lot of the same characters minus Glenn Close is a
new one for me. Uh and Naomi Watts. But Sarah
Paulson's always in his stuff. Uh, Nissi nash Bets always
in his stuff. So oh, this is the thing that
Kim Kardashian is acting, yes, and paid to be like

(01:11:51):
so many close ups even when she's not talking.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
It's Kim Kardashian's project. She wanted to work with this
Ryan Murphy Guy. Ryan Murphy is very good. So it's
beautiful to look at. It's very well filmed.

Speaker 4 (01:12:01):
Well, it did Monster with ed Geen, remember.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
Yes, Yeah, it's shot beautifully like all of his stuff is.
But everything else is bad. And the biggest debate was
is it aware of itself and trying to be like
a schlocky almost Spanish tele munda tele novella kind of
soap opera thing. I don't think it is, but it

(01:12:26):
is so bad, so bad that you kind of it's
like you want to look at the sun when it's
an eclipse, that kind of thing, And oh man, you
already kept going.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
Back to it. We do too.

Speaker 3 (01:12:40):
It's very strange because it's hard to watch, but then
you keep watching it, and now I'm a little bit invested.
But there's some parts where I'm like, Kim Kardashian clearly
paid a lot of money executive producer Got It, but
she doesn't want to be, you know, looked at as
like a proper actress. She demanded Glenn Clothes was having

(01:13:02):
a full blown monologue and it's on Kim's face the
whole time.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
This is for those of you watching on YouTube dot com,
Slash and the news Junkie. This is one of the
outfits she wears in the Got It. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
Also, I mean some of the fashion is.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
Very Cody said, great Cordy said, some of this stuff
is like, wow, this is really over the top, beautiful
outfit or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:13:23):
And but thousands of dollars.

Speaker 21 (01:13:25):
Yes, but the acting is so bad. Cama, oh man,
watch it though, just just to see so when other
people talk about All's fair on Hulu, you know what
it's talking about exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
And uh, speaking of the boob Tube, I got this
for you.

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):
Happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
Everybody, be safe if you're traveling, and uh, this is
your warning. And when we were back on the air,
it will be Way Mageddon so good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
Oh it's true.

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
Get all the listens and now before December first, or
you lose. We have a Dancing with the Stars the
season finale. Go Robert sweet Oh yeah, Robert Irwin.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
Coast to Coast Tuesday on NBC. Yeah, not the annoying one.
Like the series premiere of Good Sports on Amazon and
you can catch whatever late night you want. Follow your
dreams of me on Instagram at Sabrina and Bro most
importantly there with me at Turkey's Smoke.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Thank you, Sabrina. What's the guy that was on? Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:14:30):
What was the child actor that was on Dancing with
the Stars this season? Corey Feldman last.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
Long, he guys both watching Dancing with This sto. I
haven't watched.

Speaker 6 (01:14:40):
I think I saw a clip of Robert Irwin. Irwin, Yeah,
I think I saw his first clip and he was
doing well.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
So I was like, probably he's such a cutey man
as he's a good, good personality. But I saw a
story that it's like. Corey Feldman says that the environment backstage,
behind the scenes at Dancing with the Stars is like
horrible and toxic, and I was like, after a while,
people have got to stop listening to this guy, right.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
He said that after he got kicked off, And guess
who else did Laddie Baldwin.

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
I she was on it too.

Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
I got to tell you. I don't know if I've
said this before, and it turns out I say things
twice like the politician guy earlier some time of time.
But I don't think I would be okay with my
significant other going on Dancing with the Stars.

Speaker 4 (01:15:33):
I don't think I very intimate.

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
It's like these good looking guys who and there's something
about a guy who's a good dancer that women will
be pulled in. Hell. Yeah, these guys and they're good
looking guys, and they're really good dancers, and they're dancing
so close and they have a level of confidence. Is like,
I don't know, I yeah, don't. I don't think I

(01:15:56):
would be okay with I bet Courty would say no too.
I bet if it was like, hey, Dancing with the
Stars has gone to such depths Courtney that they have
asked me to be on the program, I think she
probably feel the same way, Like that's it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:08):
I feel like you.

Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
I mean, you could see Andy Richtor, which he went
pretty far and there was zero sexual tension, so far
away from his dancing partner, like it was really cute.
I feel like that would be what a you know,
your experience on there? If you do it like Andy,
why do you feel like there's Courtney?

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
But do you do you think that there's a reason
why Andy Richter didn't have any sexual love his wife.
That is what it is, Yeah, is because the woman
who's dancing with Andy Richter is like this, this is
what I got. This the dancers would rather have. Oh,

(01:16:53):
I don't know now that I was. I was just
about to say it, but do you think if you're
one of the professional dancers, you want to dance with
Corey Feldman or Andy Richter?

Speaker 4 (01:17:01):
And rich Oh, I was voting for him so much.
I think Couril is just.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
He is pretty weird. So I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:17:08):
Yeah, a splinter.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
Yeah, there's a bunch of funny videos of him performing,
like smashing his face accidentally into the microphone, et cetera,
et cetera. That band that he's in. Yeah, those things
are entertaining for sure, But yeah, I don't know that
I would be okay with that. There's too much romance
in the air, too much when we come back, we'll
get into finally Brown Friday. We'll talk about the latest
and the cruise murder mystery, a hurricane in December, question mark,

(01:17:36):
all that and so much more as we roll on
on our Thanksgiving vacation show that's coming up next. In
the news, Chunk Key, a couple of things to talk about.

(01:18:01):
We got an update on the cruise murder mystery story.
We've been following this Anna Kepner death in a moment.
But there's a bar owner who's getting a lot of
heat in a couple of news stories I saw today
because this guy has made a decision that seems like
dumb business to me. But this bar owner, I guess,

(01:18:22):
is banning any single drinkers. So if you're not with somebody,
if you're just a single drinker, you're banned from his bar.

Speaker 4 (01:18:35):
So they don't have a bar, you can sider.

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
No, it's in the UK, So I mean the bar's
are a little bit right from there. Well, this says here,
let's get some details because this is from ms N.
It says a Greater Manchester. It's a cocktail bar, so
like I guess it's more that would that imply more
upscale cocktail bar kin.

Speaker 3 (01:18:56):
I guess yes, but the UK is always like, you know,
welcome to the pub, he jeers you.

Speaker 4 (01:19:02):
This is where we meet friends.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
Yeah, they don't really have even TVs at the bar
because people enjoy talking to each other.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
Yeah, single people love the bar. They go to the bar,
they chit chat, they hang out with other people. They
they have camaraderie with like the staff and stuff. Sometimes
are some of them creepy probably, but not love to
harp all of them. A Greater Manchester cocktail bar has
sparked controversy after banning solo drinkers, with this owner claiming they,

(01:19:32):
I don't know what this word means. I have a
fairly extensive vocabulary.

Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
Ready to google.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
Mither mither m I t h e er. He says,
they mither other customers and pose safety risks.

Speaker 4 (01:19:45):
Later I annoy or bother someone Persistently.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
They bother other customers is one of his claims. He
owns a place called Alibi. That's the name of his
cocktail bar, Carl Peters. He shared the policy on Instagram
and he said door policy drama, explaining that single patrons
are no longer allowed after nine pm. He's just like
not allowing anybody single into the bar after nine pm.

(01:20:13):
This will prevent incidents in a busy late night environment.
He says. If somebody is on their own, if something
happens to them, it's an absolute nightmare for us to
deal with. How often is this happening in your.

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
Cocktail because they're by themselves. It might be your patrons
all the time? Yeah, or like called what alibi?

Speaker 2 (01:20:34):
For God's sake, what is happening at your bar that
you have experienced with this happening multiple times? I don't
know if that's common. They're not just going to sit
there in a bar having a drink in their own silence.
That's when things start to happen. He said. So the
bar is known for its late night cocktails and karaoke events.
They said. The single drinker band has been in place

(01:20:56):
from the start, and he's now defending it because he
called it discriminatory. He said, sorry, mate, don't bring your
woke agenda here. That was his response to all of this.
Oh they have woke in England, I guess so, yeah,
it's overseas. He says. I won't apologize for prioritizing people's
welfare and safety. I don't want single people drinking at

(01:21:20):
the bar. And I always look at this from the
business perspective, and I go, saying you don't want to
serve any single people at your bar, is really turning
away a lot of money. This is a lot of
people that you're turning away in under what the idea
that there are. They're they're creepy that single people are

(01:21:40):
gonna harm, attack or bother.

Speaker 6 (01:21:42):
I wonder whether I wonder if he's like purposely avoiding
saying whether or not this is mostly a guy problem
or girl problem.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
I mean, how in what world would this be.

Speaker 4 (01:21:54):
A girl problem?

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
If we're realistic, do a lot of guys go like, oh,
I don't want to go to that. There's so many
single women and so misery. Not to say there's not problems.
See leaning like, I think the single girl problem would
be like if a girl by herself, you know, has
way too much to drink and is now a chore today.

(01:22:18):
I could see that, you know, But I think the
guy problem is much more likely. There are stories that
I see that say, out like Miami or something, where
there are some women that will go out and get
some guy that they think is a good target, a
little drunk stealers will watch go back to his plays
steal money. But that doesn't seem like it approaches the

(01:22:38):
level of a problem of of some creepy guy at
a bar. I never seeing the female type of these
these people at a bar is at bar in my life.
Also the guy he's got a pretty uh you know,
lengthy dress code for a bar.

Speaker 6 (01:22:54):
No sportswear or trackies. No Stone Island, which is a brand.
I think he's just outlawing an entire brand of clothing.
Is that like affliction equivalent or something? No hold on
Stone Island Island. Uh, let me see images. It looks
like hoodies and stuff. It doesn't look it doesn't look douchey.

(01:23:19):
No no, yeah, No ripped or frayed jeans, no baseball caps.
No roadman vibes.

Speaker 4 (01:23:28):
Okay, the three of us are screwed. Hats.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
What is a roadman? No roadman vibes? Roadman UK?

Speaker 14 (01:23:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:23:44):
Is it just r o a d man?

Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
Roadman yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:23:48):
UK slang.

Speaker 6 (01:23:49):
A roadman is a young person, usually male, from an
urban area, who is considered street smart and maybe involved
in street culture, potentially including minor criminal activities or drug dealing.
I used to describe a specific aesthetic and subculture that's
become popular in music and fashion.

Speaker 1 (01:24:05):
Drill.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
I think it's their version of hoodlum. I think I
think that's what it is. Yeah, I think it's their
version of like, no hoodlum's allowed in our bar here
and we watch you all band, So there they go.
Single people be on the lookout. This could be spreading
both of the definitions.

Speaker 6 (01:24:24):
I've read have used the term street smart, and I
was like, at what point is it an insult to
call somebody street smart?

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
Isn't it good to be street smart?

Speaker 4 (01:24:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
I would think so. I view it as a positive things.

Speaker 4 (01:24:36):
Street smart, book smart, Yeah, street smart.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
Definitely a hoodlum kind of thing, all right. A couple
of things coming in on our end here over at
tips at the news Junkie dot com, people are suggesting
some movies that could be watched around Thanksgiving. Since I
said we had a habit of watching planes, trains, and automobiles,
Courtney is pushing every year planes, trains, and automobiles while
she's cooking, and it's so boring, it's so terrible. Some

(01:25:02):
of these ideas to replace it are even worse, I'll
tell you. Hoover Emails Tips at the news Junkie dot
Com and says, every year I rewatch Lord of the Rings.
Oh hell no, since they came out around the holiday times.
Nothing against Frodo or The Ring or Bilbo Baggins or
whatever else goes on there, but that movie. I've never

(01:25:24):
watched one of them for more than a couple of seconds.
It seems so, so, so boring to me. But this
is another one. Someone says, if you want a more obscure,
certainly odd, but well made and ultimately heartwarming Thanksgiving movie,
I'd recommend Pieces of April starring Katie Holmes. It's a
nineties gem, says Free Beers. I have not heard of

(01:25:46):
that one either. I will tell you I'm almost I'm
on the verge of just banning Courtney from movies and
movie choices in general because of some of the picks
that she's had as a well. Google Pieces of April
and look at the cover with Katie Holmes. Does it
look nineties April? But yes, oh my god, I don't

(01:26:09):
even know like this. Oh it's so cornball looking. Uh
oh okay, it's Katie Holmes with like pigtails is.

Speaker 4 (01:26:19):
The main frame.

Speaker 2 (01:26:21):
She does look like she belongs in Hackers. Lets it
say she's a crew. I can't read the notes because
some of these are so bad pieces of April Katie Holmes,
Patricia Clark, Clarkson, Sean Hayes, and Oliver Platte.

Speaker 19 (01:26:36):
Of the Year.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
It's if they're bragging about this thing, it might be good.
Maybe he's right about that, but it's got to be
better than some of the stuff. Okay, Courtney Courty picked
out this movie the other night. I just want you
guys to know what my life is like. This is
one of the movies we tried to watch the other night.
It's called Chompy and the Girls. All right, Chompy and

(01:26:56):
the Girls, which is about a man with a massive
mouth that eats these women that he finds on the street.
It says, a troubled woman meets her father for the
first time. It's like a LaRoy, but with the mouth.
It is basically it's and their encounter goes from awkward
to alarming when they witness a man swallow a little

(01:27:18):
girl whole. So now you see what I'm getting into here.
That's the trouble. I don't know where she finds these.
She'll she'll tell me, like, oh, it's got rotten tomatoes
score through the roof. It's so good. I think here's
the part where the chompy guy eats somebody. Just for
those of you watching Chompy and the Girls, here it is, right, Okay,
this is the part right here. Just this guy in

(01:27:41):
the background just eats people and then chases after them
and he that's it. Oh, that's the movie. So this
is the kind of stuff that I'm subjected to already.

Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
Well, when you watch all the movies, I appreciate that
Courtney finds something new because we keep scrolling through, and
even when it says just added, you could tell like, oh,
you watched this already, and you watch that whole thing,
and you were halfway through that one.

Speaker 4 (01:28:09):
But he didn't like it, so I've got nothing else.

Speaker 3 (01:28:11):
We blew through an entire season on Sunday, and now
we have nothing to watch tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
There's always these stuff out there, But look at this.
He's always chompying the girls. What you want on your TV?
You want this? Yes, the prosthetics are This man's mouth
goes from his next come on to the center of
his like his chest. Probably that's how big his mouth is.
His mouth opens large enough to eat other human beings,

(01:28:38):
and and he does this. I don't I don't know
what to do with all of this, but this is
my life, so anything's better than chompinging the girls. Let
us know what you think. What's the best option. I
don't know if it's going to be this one that
somebody just recommended. What was it called Pieces of April.
That looks interesting. I'll put it on the list. I'll
put it down there. Let's get to a somebody saying,

(01:29:00):
I suggest butt Boy is your new Thanksgiving watch Nice try, Sarah.
I already know that's a fantastic movie. I've already seen it.
I appreciate it. Though. Here's somebody else giving an example
of a perfect holiday movie.

Speaker 17 (01:29:13):
Hello in Law with Polly Shore. I know a lot
of people don't associate it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
I go back.

Speaker 17 (01:29:18):
My favorite Thanksgiving movie is Son in Law with Polly Shore. Okay,
I know a lot of people don't associate that with Thanksgiving.
But the whole premise of the story of why she
brings him back home to meet her family is because
her college is on Thanksgiving break.

Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
Okay. Yeah, I haven't seen a poly short movie in
a while. I haven't seen a classic poly short movie
in a while, like like a Son in Law or
one of those. But remember that movie he tried to
have a little bit of a comeback where he lived
in a mother in law suite and wouldn't leave. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(01:29:56):
I watched that one. It was fine. He's been around
for a long time time he manages to stay somewhat relevant.
But yeah, maybe that's all. Put that on the list too.
Here's one more suggestion from got Crypto, Thanks Shan.

Speaker 18 (01:30:09):
As far as Thanksgiving movies, the specials, everyone wants to
always go Peanuts nah.

Speaker 16 (01:30:14):
Garfield all the way, especially with the Christmas one as
well with the Woka Pop Pop.

Speaker 2 (01:30:19):
All right, I'll add that to the list. One last
dispatch a video dispatch from our friend Momanji the Realtor.
See what he says, Hey.

Speaker 4 (01:30:26):
Guys, I hope you guys are doing well.

Speaker 16 (01:30:28):
I just wanted to grace you with my presence and
wish you a happy Thanksgiving to everybody, especially the three
best friends I never had enjoyed.

Speaker 11 (01:30:35):
Bye.

Speaker 1 (01:30:35):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
Oh my gosh, we've literally been friends in person. Momanji,
what are you talking about? Never had.

Speaker 18 (01:30:42):
You are?

Speaker 2 (01:30:45):
Let's see, we're going to take a quick break when
we come back. I got a bunch of clips to
get to.

Speaker 8 (01:30:49):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:30:50):
I mentioned yesterday that the sham Wow guy is running
for office. I got more from the ShamWow. Yeah. This guy,
sham Wow guy, he is. At first he was famous
for offensive movies. Then he was famous for being a
pitch man for the sham Wou and the slap Chop
and stuff. Now he is trying to launch a political career.

(01:31:13):
So he's got some videos that he's released. I want
to go over some of these and see what happened.
We've got the murder mystery on the cruise ships, some
updates on Anna Keepner that we got to get to,
and then we'll get all geared up for Thanksgiving with you.
That's coming up next some of the use Chunkie. I'm

(01:31:45):
happy to tell you that it looks like the hurricane
shield has just worked. It looks like we're going to
get to the end of hurricane season without any storms
making like a significant landfall in the United States of America.

Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
And mind you, the hurricanes we have seen or talked
about have been I mean historically significant.

Speaker 4 (01:32:06):
But josp One, tiny island.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
Yeah, Jamaica, man, Jamaica got drilled. They absolutely got drilled.
But the United States managed to escape any of these
serious storms making landfall in twenty twenty five hurricane season,
which I always think this is kind of interesting to
go back and look at all the predictions and you
will realize something that is just one of those truths

(01:32:31):
of the world. Outside of very short term weather prediction
and some very specific hurricane modeling that can share where
the track of the storm is going to go, so
much of this still remains a crapshoot, especially long term
weather forecasting of any kind. Because they thought there was
going to be a lot more named and landed storms

(01:32:54):
in twenty twenty five. The thought they were going to
be really bad and we were going to all die
because the hurricane hunter was never going to get off
the ground. You remember the meteorologist use Some of you
guys were taken so seriously, you're like, no, Sean, you
don't know what you're talking about. He's a meteorologist. Another
expert in the field who clearly is just off his
rocker completely has said that the hurricane hunter won't even

(01:33:16):
get off the ground. People will die because a doge
And so that seems to have been a situation that's
come to a rap here. We doge is rapped. Yes,
we look like we are, or at least a federal
version of dose. And we look like we're going to
be able to close out this hurricane season with no
knock on one major storms making landfall in the United

(01:33:41):
States of America. So that's a very very good thing.
Congratulations to everybody. Hopefully the shield holds for another year. Meanwhile,
Brown Friday is coming. You have to be careful about this.
It's one of those things that when you hear you go, Okay,
that's gross, But when you think about it, it does
make a lot of sense. It really does. The idea
that Brown Friday, the day after Thanksgiving is a day

(01:34:06):
when more plumbers get calls than any other day in
the year makes sense because you're going to have so
many guests over your house, and the guests are all
going to use the toilets, and the toilets which might
have been just getting by with you and whoever lives
in the house using them, were pushed to their limits

(01:34:26):
because of the extra No guest pushes my toilet farther
than I do that I.

Speaker 4 (01:34:32):
Can I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:34:34):
Now, what is do we have the scientific turnaround time
for eating Thanksgiving dinner, and how soon your guests need
to leave or use your bathroom.

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
You know, the cycle must take a pretty long time, right,
I think. But I think it's not the Thanksgiving food
that's doing the damage. I think it's food that was
in their system from the previous meals. That's what they're
leaving at the Thanksgiving house. Then they go home and
they drop off the Thanksgiving kids, if you know what

(01:35:08):
I'm talking about. That's a separate thing that happens the
next day. And there's a lot of different suggestions on
how to how to stop this. They said, avoid putting
food scraps like turkey, potatoes, and vegetables into the disposal.
Use a strainer in your sink to catch food debris.
Don't pour fat or grease down the drain. A lot
of people do that. You're not supposed to do. Yeah,

(01:35:30):
do not. It's much easier to do.

Speaker 10 (01:35:34):
Is that what you do?

Speaker 8 (01:35:34):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:35:35):
You put foil right where the drain is and it
hardens in the train.

Speaker 2 (01:35:40):
I have to avoid putting anything like that down mind,
because I'm on septic Oh yeah, yeah, I have rules. Yeah,
you gotta be careful. You got to make sure you're
prepared for these Thanksgiving folks, and in the world of
internet content, make sure you're prepared for the hate bait
that is out there, the stuff that is designed to

(01:36:02):
just make you angry, even if somebody is screwing with you.
There's a lot of this. There's a lot of this
content out there. One that's going mega viral in the
last couple of days is this woman who did a
video and it says cooking dinner as a twenty five
year old wife and sahm, stay at home mother, stay

(01:36:24):
at home mother of three is what it says. And
it shows her cutting open a thing of ground beef.
She's putting it in a strainer, she's washing the ground beef.
What she's putting Okay, don soap on that and all
of this is made for you to hate it. That's
what the reason is. She doesn't really do this. Nobody

(01:36:46):
really washes their ground beef with don It just gets
you clicks and people you know, argue over it in
the comments or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:36:55):
So many of these it is. But I mean, if
you do, then that's her family that has to deal
with it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
Well, God, I can't imagine what that would do. To
your body, but it can't be good. That is engagement bait.
That is what that is. Every single time that you
see this when somebody is making a videos and sometimes,
as Celi knows, the cooking videos that are engagement bait.
Sometimes it'll just be about it's so weird. You're trying

(01:37:20):
to watch to make you want to know how this
is going to end up, and then you waste a
lot of time on it. And when you realize that
at some point in the video, that this was all
done to waste your time, yeah you get mad. Yes, yeah.
You watch them throw in the beans, the greens, potatoes,

(01:37:42):
the tomatoes, and you're wondering where they're going, where are
they're going from this, what happens next, what's going on here? Next?
Thing you know, the video just ends. It's all engagement bait.
It's absolutely everywhere online and just be a little smarter
about avoiding it if you can. I now have more
from the guy, the ShamWow guy who's running for office

(01:38:07):
and he's in Texas, I believe, and uh it's the
shortest campaign clip I think I've ever seen in my life.
He's in front of some rainbow steps. The ShamWow guy
is and they're saying he's pretty old now. I think
he still kind of looks the same, the shamwou dude,
Like I can still recognize him in here a little bit.

(01:38:28):
But I guess this is what his video is is
if you if you like this, you're supposed to vote
for him. He's moved on to this.

Speaker 10 (01:38:36):
The wolf churches are after our kids nuts, not no more.
We're not chopping nuts. You're gonna love your nuts with
a shamway guy.

Speaker 2 (01:38:43):
That's it. Oh okay, entirety of his campaign video seven
seconds log. He's going after the woke church, which I
guess this is. This is a church he's in front of. Yeah, yeah,
yeah it is. This is a church he's in front of.

(01:39:03):
And I'll play it again because it's so short.

Speaker 10 (01:39:05):
The woke churches are after our kids nuts, not no more.
We're not chopping nuts. You're gonna love your nuts with
a ShamWow guy.

Speaker 2 (01:39:12):
The Wolke churches after our kids. He's gonna run as
the sham wow guy. I think he might be running
as the sham wow guy. I believe that might be
a move. Cotton.

Speaker 3 (01:39:25):
It's up to get elected, that's what he's going back
to what happens twenty twenty six is gonna be weird.

Speaker 2 (01:39:31):
I'm trying to see if there are any mega fans here.
Somebody says, spent all your sham Wow money on beating
sex workers in drugs. So now the easiest way to
grift back into the spotlight and get those sweet, sweet
grifty dollars is to jump on the dying anti woke movement,
says Jenny Over on the Twitter slash x.

Speaker 4 (01:39:52):
Is he still attached to sham wow or getting that money?

Speaker 2 (01:39:56):
I don't know what was his name against Shlomi. Vince
Offer Vince Offer. His actual name is offero Offer Schloomy,
and he's running for Texas's thirty first congressional district in
the twenty twenty six mid term elections as a Republican.

(01:40:18):
He was born in Israel. I did not know that
his family immigrated to the US when he was a child,
and he grew up in Brooklyn in New York. He
grew up with a single mother, dropped out of high
school at seventeen, changed his name to Vince Offer in
nineteen eighty six and started appearing on public access television.
He's sixty one. The Sham Wow guy is now sixty

(01:40:40):
one and running for office in the United States of
America as the Sham Wow Guy. I guess. But he
had done something before all this.

Speaker 4 (01:40:49):
What was the movie that he did, Underground Comedy Movie.

Speaker 2 (01:40:52):
Yeah, that's it. It was an interative thing.

Speaker 6 (01:40:54):
Yeah, there was Underground Comedy Movie and then the Inappropriate
Movie or something like that where app app was in caps.

Speaker 2 (01:41:02):
Okay, Uh, he's an ex scientologist and he also appeared
in the Adam Sandler movie Jack and Jill, just so
you know. But now he's running for office, so he's

Yeah. I mean the thing is, there are a lot
of places, and I was talking to some people about
this in the last couple of days here. There are
a lot of places that open up Thanksgiving night. Yeah,

earlier in the week. This is one of the most
unbelievable stories I've seen in a while. Did you guys
see it all the story about these dudes in Texas
who they stopped a plot that these guys were Apparently,

(01:45:26):
I don't know how serious they were about this, but
they're suggesting that they stopped the plot that they were
serious about. And let me read you some of the details.
Here's the headline, Texas men indicted in a plot to
take over a Haitian island and enslave the women and children.

Speaker 3 (01:45:46):
Oh what, Okay, I've got some details on this, and
I've already got rason.

Speaker 4 (01:45:53):
I don't know. Ever, usually it's like plot the shrewd
up place.

Speaker 2 (01:45:57):
Look look this up for me, because I think that
these people were next level stupid. They were trying to
do an armed coup, meaning a takeover of this island
off the coast of Haiti, which is called Go Nave Gonave,
g O n Ave. Let's just let's just see how

(01:46:17):
many people live on this Gonave island off of Haiti
to start out, because there are only two of them.
Two guys from North Texas have been charged over violent
plans that included an armed coupation.

Speaker 4 (01:46:31):
Okay, hey, you guys twenty one and twenty years old, what.

Speaker 2 (01:46:35):
Do you think it is? The fifteen hundreds you're going
to take over an island with eighty seven thousand people
just two men from Texas?

Speaker 4 (01:46:43):
Say how many men are there?

Speaker 3 (01:46:45):
Because that was the plan. First kill off all the men? Yes,
how many men would had to kill off?

Speaker 2 (01:46:51):
I would assume I would assume half those people would
be men. Gavin Weisenberg twenty one of Allen, Texas and
Tanner Thomas twenty of our Isle, Texas, along with other
co conspirators, planned to murder all the men on the
Haitian territory before taking over the island, and of course
enslaving the women and children as sex slaves, as one does.
And this is according to an indictment in the US

(01:47:14):
District Corps. The co conspirators conducted research, reconnaissance or reconnaissance recruiting, planning,
and sought training to effectuate their plan. They said it
was the goal of the conspiracy to take military control
of the island by murdering all the men and capturing
all the women. So you thought, you and a couple
of people and one other du well, I believe their idea, sabrina.

(01:47:38):
I think in the court documents, I believe their idea
was to join forces with the homeless people on the
island and then work with the homeless people to kill
off all the men and then take over. Because of course,
of course, when you have your army of hobos and

(01:47:59):
your two guys Texas, of course, all of the women
forty seven thousand or so of them are just going
to go along with They don't have you out numbered
or anything. They're charged with conspiracy to kill er kidnap
persons in a foreign country, two of.

Speaker 4 (01:48:14):
Them, and one kind of producing child born.

Speaker 2 (01:48:17):
Yep, yes, yeah, that was one of the goals.

Speaker 4 (01:48:19):
I think was to make a lot more produce than
the US if they get that.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
Yeah, yeah, I think there. I think there was some
on one of their computers perhaps, But I want you
to hang on a moment, if you don't mind the attorney.
Weisenberg's attorney, David Finn, has encouraged everybody to quote hold
their horses and that his client will not plead guilty.
So hold your horses. Don't be rushing to judgment here.

(01:48:45):
These guys who plotted to recruit and hire homeless people
from Washington, d c. To overthrow Haiti's government in Gonave.
However you say they are, they're innocent.

Speaker 4 (01:48:56):
According to the attorney was holding no horse.

Speaker 2 (01:49:00):
He wants you to hold horses. You don't know, you
don't know. They both took Haitian Creole language training, Suir.
They both researched ammunition weapons. Sure, they both looked into
military type rifles. Yeah. A korin And says they enrolled
in school to learn military tactics. Is that just a
thing you could do?

Speaker 3 (01:49:19):
No one enlisted in the US Air Force. Do you
gain military training that would be useful in carrying out
this coup?

Speaker 2 (01:49:26):
How dumb that you think you could take over an
island with eighty seven thousand people. That's just next level stupid.

Speaker 4 (01:49:35):
How much cocaine did they do when they map this
all out? And how many days were they awake?

Speaker 10 (01:49:40):
A lot?

Speaker 2 (01:49:40):
Or they just thought it was like well, yeah, I
mean there's the idea that let's say I said how
many people live in Atlanta, Georgia, and then you tell
me how many people? And I go, okay, so I'll
kill all the men. And then obviously the women, what
are they going to do? I mean, are they severely outnumbered?
Well they are, but to the women for raping, Yeah,

(01:50:03):
but they think the women are just going to be like, whelp,
all the men are gone. We won't fight back against you.
The two people who are trying to take us over
with the Washington d C hobos. I don't think it's
gonna and I'm gonna turn them in.

Speaker 6 (01:50:16):
Like, how did they figure out that this, uh, this
plan was, you know, being formulated. That's a good question.
That has been planning the invasion for nearly a year,
so obviously they've done some work on this.

Speaker 4 (01:50:31):
Hang on social media.

Speaker 2 (01:50:35):
I'll tell chat GBT read this indictment.

Speaker 4 (01:50:42):
Took creole language training.

Speaker 2 (01:50:45):
They caught these guys. Yeah, they were involved in this
and apparently planning on doing this whole thing. The indictment
says is according to AI reading this that Weisenberg, aged
twenty one, and Thomas were indicted by a federal grand jury.
The alleged scheme was between August twenty twenty four in

(01:51:06):
July twenty twenty five. They made logistical plans to do this.
There was a multi agency investigation, and Thomas enrolling in
the Air Force and attending schools to acquiring relevant skills
would give him access to training records and background checks.
It doesn't Yeah, it doesn't say what exactly made them

(01:51:27):
learn of the plot, which would be interesting to see.
It doesn't actually say that it must have been, you.

Speaker 3 (01:51:32):
Know, some red flag that came up, which you know,
I guess is kind of encouraging that some authority here
in the US is looking into stuff and stopping it
versus a lot of the other dialogue.

Speaker 4 (01:51:46):
That's like the FBI was warned and they didn't know
anything about it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:49):
You see all the time. I mean, it just saw
this with the guy who shot Trump's ear off. That
guy had posted a whole bunch of crazy stuff on
YouTube before any of this happen, and the FBI's response
was like, we can't watch every comment on YouTube. I guess.
So none of the coverage says about what triggered the investigation,

(01:52:09):
but they were really trying to do this. It's crazy, Okay.
Anna Keepner update, The family custody filing is now saying
the FBI is officially conducting a murder investigation. Is officially
a murder investigation now to the death of eighteen year
old Anna Keepner. The sixteen year old brother stepbrother the
suspect in that murder investigation. The family still kind of

(01:52:34):
working their way through this, but the step mom, I
believe the step mom of Anna Kepner wants a gag
order on her case her custody battle, so no more
information comes out here. They don't want people talking about this.
They already have said that family members they didn't want
talking about this, and and beyond that, they don't want

(01:52:54):
any discussions going on. So we'll see if there's any
other updates on that story as we move forward. When
we come back, we'll get to the slender Man body
cam footage. I didn't do that just yet. We got
a ton of you chiming in. We want to hear
from you in the Power Hour on the show today
because I want to know what you're thankful for this year. Yeah,

(01:53:16):
we always do this on Thanksgiving. Maybe you're thankful for
us now a couple of weeks later on our last
day of the years. That's true. Yeah, we want We've
worked all year long and we'd like to hear some
thank you. If you don't mind, just tell us what's
keeping you moving and what you're thankful for. In twenty
twenty five, we'll take that on dispatches as well. And
a Campbell's Soup executive secretly recorded what did he say?

(01:53:40):
I've got that too, and a whole lot more. It's
all coming up next than the news junkie. Over to

(01:54:01):
the White House we go and they had a turkey
out at the White House. Is this the one that
got pardoned? I think it might have been. It's a
I don't know if I've ever seen a turkey like this.
It's a big ass white turkey that they had at
the White House.

Speaker 1 (01:54:18):
And then.

Speaker 2 (01:54:20):
Caroline Levitt was here. She's the White House spokesperson and
the press secretary. I guess right, yeah, she was at
the White House when this turkey was out. She had
her little kid with her, and she put her kid
down next to the turkey, and I thought immediately, I'm like,
I don't know. I would not.

Speaker 20 (01:54:39):
That good.

Speaker 2 (01:54:40):
Can't turkey's attack you pretty good? I think they can
do some peking, for sure.

Speaker 6 (01:54:44):
I would be worried for two reasons to put young
Jackson next to a turkey, For what the turkey can
do to the kid and what the kid can do
to the turkey. I mean, if jack wanted to reach
over just grab that thing by the neck and.

Speaker 2 (01:54:57):
Start tugging on it, you kill a turkey, I don't know,
Or he might get it mad enough to start fighting back.

Speaker 10 (01:55:04):
So we got a good night's rest last night and
we're ready to go.

Speaker 2 (01:55:08):
Put him on the ground.

Speaker 5 (01:55:09):
I think CBS came and saw them.

Speaker 2 (01:55:14):
No, he's right next to the turkey.

Speaker 4 (01:55:16):
Is no god eyeing this kid stance.

Speaker 2 (01:55:22):
By the way, folks, this is a full grown turkey.
So turkeys are big, I mean turkey. It's an all
white turkey next to this little kid. And the turkey
is now looking at the little kid on the ground like,
what the hell what are we doing here? Yeah, so
he has no idea that he's partning.

Speaker 4 (01:55:39):
Oh no, oh, what was that?

Speaker 2 (01:55:42):
He kind of to move and able to do this.

Speaker 8 (01:55:45):
This will be our seventy eighth presentation here, and it's
just a true honor for the US turkey industry to
have this national It's like.

Speaker 2 (01:55:52):
It's starting to make little clicking noises at the kid
and this lady I think is in charge of the turkeys.
I think she's because she went over and started moving
chasing him. Is going picked the kid. When I first
saw that, I was like, I don't know a lot
about turkeys, but can a turkey kick your ass?

Speaker 3 (01:56:09):
I feel like this is not the pardoning, So no,
this is just about to die.

Speaker 2 (01:56:15):
Maybe you make a move on that baby and your
pardon is revoked. You are not getting out of there.
It's not happening right now, says Caroline Levitt's son steals
the show, making an adorable appearance alongside one of the
turkeys up for a presidential pardon. Waddle. Oh, you're right.
It is pre pardoned. So Wattle hasn't gotten the pardon
just yet. Wattle is just hoping that something good happens here.

(01:56:38):
We'll see what happens with the turkeys and keep a
close eye.

Speaker 6 (01:56:42):
Well, there a couple of years where the president uh
uh you know, kind of posted out and pardon both turkeys.

Speaker 2 (01:56:49):
I think that did happen a bunch. Yeah. They were like,
if we pardon one of them, people start to think
about the other one, just going off the slaughter. Yeah,
And and they were like, well we this year, we're
going to pardon both of them. Man, that has happened
quite a bit. What else has happened quite a bit?

Speaker 18 (01:57:06):
That it is?

Speaker 2 (01:57:07):
I don't know. It's a little concerning to me. I
don't quite understand it. You might be hearing some music
this Thanksgiving. You might have your family gathered around at
the kids table, the adults table, the adolescents table, the
stranger table where just Rando's that Courtney has invited to
the Thanksgiving meal. Of course, everybody's listening to the same music.

(01:57:28):
And you start playing some of the songs on the
Billboard charts. And yet again, this has happened multiple times
on this show in the last year. Yet again an
AI artist is topping the charts, this time on the
Christian and Gospel Albums charts. It's Solomon Kirk is the

(01:57:52):
name of the AI singer. See if you could pull
up anything by this person. But they're not human. It's
not a real human being.

Speaker 4 (01:58:02):
That's not on air.

Speaker 2 (01:58:04):
Solomon Ray number one on the Christian and Gospel Albums
chart created by AI. His most recent album not his
It's not a it's not a man, It's not a person.
His most recent album is called a Soul Soul for Christmas.
Soul to the World in Jingle Bell Soul are some
of the big songs on there.

Speaker 4 (01:58:22):
Not saying a Solomon here.

Speaker 2 (01:58:24):
Who would have ever guessed that Soul to the World
in Jingle bells Soul were the songs that were made
by an AI artist. Hold on, Solomon Ray, Solomon Kirk.
Now you guys said something about Kirk.

Speaker 4 (01:58:40):
Yeah, Solomon, have you heard that new song with Charlie
Kirk or Kirk?

Speaker 8 (01:58:45):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:58:45):
I thought it was definitely it's a I from what
I understand, but I guess not Solomon.

Speaker 2 (01:58:50):
Well here it is. This is a guy fake in again,
not just John, not just cheer. Okay, I love it.
Let's bring some soul. I mean, it just sounds like AI.

Speaker 14 (01:59:09):
To me.

Speaker 2 (01:59:10):
It's tough because it sounds like a guy with a
really great voice, so tempting, and it just shows an AI.
Think him with snow coming.

Speaker 6 (01:59:18):
Do of my favorite AI creations that I've that I've
made on the website have included a choir.

Speaker 2 (01:59:24):
Yeah, so the city we all need a spark. No
matter your colors, no matter the steamers, still moves the same. Okay,
I don't like it. It's not a person.

Speaker 4 (01:59:39):
And make sure that the robots they love.

Speaker 2 (01:59:42):
And now it's in Christian music. That seems a little
Isn't there something sacrilege about that? It seems weird to
me everything but God created people and people created AI.

Speaker 6 (01:59:55):
If you wanted to h lawyer lawyer your way around
the Bible, here, one could argue that having a fake
Christian singer would actually be less sinful, because when you
have real people singing them, you know, and you become
a big fan of them, you're getting into idle territory

(02:00:16):
and they they'll shot not have idols before.

Speaker 2 (02:00:19):
God, can't I have an idol that's artificial intelligence? Isn't
that still an idol? Not real? It's not real. But
like you know, you're you're not praising anybody. I'm not
doing it. The AI music and an artist is just
not for me, but maybe it's for you. Let us
know what you think. Send a dispatch over at the
news Junki dot com. It is not for our great

(02:00:39):
company here, so no only by Solomon, only humans over
on this station. They have released new body camp footage
in the slender Man escape. This is this young girl,

about that. But the cops don't believe that she's twenty three.
They're going, we don't believe you. We don't think you're

point she goes, people know who I am from the
slender Man case? And do you know who I am?
That you might think it is, No, it's not. It's
not not like on the celebrity level. Do you know
who I am? Yeah, she got out they said it

(02:02:38):
was this this person who was her accomplice. Uh, this
is the person that was arrested along with the young
slender Man attacker. This person was the accomplice here, and
they said they kept showing up at the facility and
they were like, hey, I'm not supposed to see you.

(02:02:59):
I'm not to see you, but I'm gonna see you anyways,
and you got to sneak out here and be with me.
I don't know how old this person is. Well, I

Speaker 2 (02:03:09):
This person, she's twenty three, right, No.

accomplice was twenty three, they have had a rough time. Yeah,
forty three years old. Forty three years old. Mecca is
the person that they met at this facility and was
arrested for helping out with the escape that this Slenderman

(02:03:38):
stabber lady did. They said that they they've found them both.
They're both behind bars now and they're not sure what's
going to happen to all involved. They were found not
guilty by reason of mental disease or defect and sent
to psychiatric institutions. The two girls who are behind this,
including Geyser and Wire and twenty twenty one. Wire was

(02:04:01):
released on the condition that she lived with her dad

Yes, it says they said, I've been listening to this
AI account it's called sold out. Bring this up? Forgot
about Dred He's the top one I don't know. They
might have curse words in it though, probably does Does
he mean that it has cursed explicit? Okay? Yeah, and
then there's a miss Jackson version. So this has two

(02:05:15):
hundred and forty seven thousand listens. AI. All AI people
are into some of this stuff pretty crazy. Let's see.
UH can't play it though if it has a whole
bunch of curse words in it. We're gonna get to
more of your comments. A lot more of you have
thoughts on your mind, and we, as I said, are
thankful that you're out there, and we want to hear
from more of you. So send us. Your dispatch is

(02:05:37):
at thenewsjunkie dot com. Right now, All right, Aird enough.

Speaker 6 (02:05:42):
There is an actual living person who is a record
producer in DJ named Solomon Ray.

Speaker 2 (02:05:48):
Yeah but you like the Christian AI singer guy. Yeah,
but he doesn't.

Speaker 6 (02:05:54):
It seems to be just completely unrelated to this that
they've named this Solomon Ray guy or fake person AI.
And the headline on Christianity Today says the current number
one Christian artist has no soul.

Speaker 2 (02:06:09):
Church. I didn't even think of it when you were
naming off his songs.

Speaker 6 (02:06:12):
It was like, you know, jingle soul and you know,
let it soul, Let it sold, and this guy doesn't
even have one.

Speaker 5 (02:06:18):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:06:19):
The weirdest thing is all these articles that refer to
these ais as people, like he has an album, he
has this many views, and it kind of tricks me
into doing it, and I'm like, no, these people are
they're not real, they're not people. There are AI creations
and it's AI slop almost all of it. And that's
just what we're going to see more and more of

(02:06:40):
moving forward. Okay, I got your dispatches on pause. We'll
fire those up as we roll into Thanksgiving weekend here.
We want to make sure we're getting everything in before
we wrap it up.

Speaker 8 (02:06:51):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:06:51):
And we're going to do all of that and so
much more. It's coming up next in the news. Chunkie

(02:07:13):
Courtney's mom and dad will sometimes get a ham for Thanksgiving,
like a honey baked tam from a honey bag cam company. Yeah,
and they'll wait in line for hours and hours and
and just wait outside to buy it. Yeah, like they
have they have an appointment. They make a ham appointment
and they go to the honey baked ham store and

(02:07:34):
they wade out in the hot sun and there's a
whole line of all these.

Speaker 4 (02:07:39):
You can't just pick up alone.

Speaker 2 (02:07:42):
It's not I don't know, it's just a mess. It's
chaos around that time, which I always think, like what
happens the rest of the year at the Honey Baked
Ham company. This is like their d day, But is
the rest of the year like, oh, well you can
get I mean, nothing going on here.

Speaker 6 (02:07:57):
I wonder what the difference in customers is Betweween like
the normal, like a like a like a week in
September versus this week and Christmas week.

Speaker 2 (02:08:07):
Yeah, it's got to be different. Yeah, oh Easter Easter
would be big too, Yeah, but it's got to be
drastically shockingly different. It's it's got to be like from
absolutely dead on a random May Thursday to so slammed
for Thanksgiving that it's crazy And this is what their
whole business model seems to come down to. But I

(02:08:30):
do think at the end of the day, Ham is
superior to Turkey.

Speaker 4 (02:08:36):
Just love Ham.

Speaker 3 (02:08:37):
Ham is so good And you don't realize how many
of those slices you end up having. But after one sharing,
I'm like, I think I does a twenty two slices,
which would be a quarter of a full hand.

Speaker 2 (02:08:51):
See, I don't know it's worth it.

Speaker 6 (02:08:52):
I don't think I ever consumed that much of the
main protein on Thanksgiving?

Speaker 2 (02:08:56):
Your sides dude, Yeah, he's a sides guy. That's what happens.
It happens to a lot of people, and a lot
of people come just for the size, and there ain't
nothing wrong with it. Eat what you want, treat yourself
for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 (02:09:09):
Get out cranberry you do?

Speaker 2 (02:09:13):
No, No, I don't. No, No, I can't say for
that ceiling does I think seiling does? It's not my
go to. I never loved the the can shaped, you know,
block of cranberry jelly.

Speaker 4 (02:09:29):
Talk about an industry that doesn't get any attention the.

Speaker 2 (02:09:31):
Entire year, just waiting.

Speaker 6 (02:09:34):
I do like I have made my own cranberry sauce
and it's far superior to make it yourself, and it's
pretty easy and it gives me I've said this before, No,
it gives me an excuse to buy Gramonier because you
need a little splash of Gramonie in there to get
some of that orange citrusy flavor.

Speaker 2 (02:09:56):
Uh, and then I put the rest of it in
my mouth.

Speaker 3 (02:09:58):
No, no, but is it just the ranberry, the cranberry sauce.
What is that going on top of the turkey?

Speaker 2 (02:10:04):
Usually some sort of turkey.

Speaker 3 (02:10:06):
Yeah, okay, so it's not like a weird gravy or
a side dish, like a side soup and sweet No,
I do want.

Speaker 2 (02:10:17):
To bring something up here real quick, because you know,
it's the time to be thankful for certain things. I
thought maybe this was some sort of AI deal or
that this was fake news, fake news city, but apparently
it's real. Oh yeah, you see what I'm looking at.
They're bringing it back. They're prying subs back. What is

(02:10:38):
this like the fourth time they brought Scrubs back? The
TV show and Black Scrubs, Black Scrubs, the whole damn crew.
They're bringing them back. I think this is the trailer.
This is all the crew. They do look good.

Speaker 4 (02:10:59):
Those people are.

Speaker 2 (02:11:00):
These like, oh, these are the new people at the
hospital for the Scrubs And maybe try a different approach,
maybe a little bit more like doctor Cox. Listen up, newbies.

Speaker 5 (02:11:12):
Ruh Hilly Superstar there, Scooter.

Speaker 2 (02:11:15):
He's there too. Down And what's her name? The lady
that was with Black Scrubs? She uh damn, I don't
know anybody's names on this show. She's been in a
lot of stuff. She's in she's in high potential and
been killing it of that.

Speaker 4 (02:11:32):
Her name is Judy Reyes and she plays Carla.

Speaker 2 (02:11:34):
Carla La. That's it, Carla. But Scrubs is one of
the shows that I think has come back more time
than anything else. It went from one network to another network,
correct was canceled, then the fans brought it back.

Speaker 6 (02:11:48):
Well, they've had a weird thing where they had like
a whole emotional finale for it, and then they brought
it back, but not with some of the main characters,
and it was focused on like the interns taken over
the hospital now because his JD's gone, you know. And

(02:12:08):
I didn't really watch a whole lot of those episodes, but.

Speaker 4 (02:12:13):
The last release season nine was twenty ten.

Speaker 2 (02:12:16):
And then the Lawyers dead, that's what what do you mean?

Speaker 6 (02:12:20):
The guy that played the bald lawyer guy, the nerdy
dude with the a cappella group, he passed away.

Speaker 2 (02:12:25):
He was the really adept dude. You know, I don't
see on this. What about the janitor, the janitor, doctor
jan Etoor.

Speaker 4 (02:12:33):
Neil Flynn, what about Bob Kelso.

Speaker 2 (02:12:37):
Joe Bob Kelso is like one of the main dudes
at the hospital. Yeah, he was one of the main doctors.
Scrubs is coming back. It is making a comeback, and
the revival series will be premiering on ABC and Hulu
in February of twenty twenty five, something for you Scrub
fans to look forward to. Somebody said, they keep using
those two guys in commercials, like they're still I think

(02:13:01):
they are the podcast. Yeah, well, I just I think
they've maintained relevance. The show has always had some some
level of relevance.

Speaker 6 (02:13:08):
Yeah, and you're right. I think T Mobile is the
company that uses the two of them a lot.

Speaker 4 (02:13:15):
Well, anytime there's.

Speaker 3 (02:13:15):
A new medical drama or scripted series, it always comes
out that Scrubs is the most accurate. Scrubs is the
closest to real, actual ears and medicine.

Speaker 2 (02:13:26):
Yeah, Scrubs is the one. I've done This is Today
a bunch of times, and which was the one that
was the least accurate Scrubs It Scrubs is the one
that I remember and this was on to Today Learn
and I did many many times on the first couple
of seasons. At the end when they're doing that Superman song.
You know a Superman whatever, this this theme song, I'm

(02:13:52):
no Superman that song. At the end, the doctor slams
an X ray against the thing and like clips it
in and the actual doctor is watching it said, the
X rays on their backwards, idiot. Yeah, you put the
extra out. There was a refilm the whole thing to
get it right afterwards.

Speaker 6 (02:14:09):
There was They even like like called it out on themselves.
It was when Elizabeth Banks joined the show.

Speaker 2 (02:14:18):
Yeah, and she like.

Speaker 6 (02:14:20):
They redid the intro for one of her first episodes
where she comes in and she grabs it and switches
it and goes, that's been backwards. It's been bugging me
forever or.

Speaker 2 (02:14:29):
Something like that.

Speaker 4 (02:14:29):
I get that.

Speaker 2 (02:14:31):
Yeah. I think the interesting thing about this is sometimes
actors will go, well, I'm done with this thing. I'm
just over it. I'm done. I want to do something else.
I don't want to be pigeonholed into this character anymore.
But they tend to come back because oftentimes they find
that that hit that thing where where the music was

(02:14:52):
just right, where everything just played well enough for the
American public or even the world to where they loved
the world old you created they loved the characters, they
love the writing, they love the acting. It's magic in
a bottle, It's lightning in a bottle.

Speaker 6 (02:15:06):
And the weird part is like it's not one of
those like where somebody needed the money. Most of these
people have been busy, Like I said, Judy Rayes has
been in high potential. The creator of Scrubs has gone
on to do uh, he's doing shrinking with Jason Siegel now,
and you know, like they're all working.

Speaker 2 (02:15:27):
Yeah, yeah, so it's coming back. Let us know if
you're excited or if you're you know, don't care, you're
not gonna watch it, that's fine too. Sena dispatch at
thenewsjunkie dot com. Let me tell you a true story.
This is not one on a television show. This is
a true story. Everybody here has seen the movie Fame,
the movie, great movie, classic movie, Thanksgiving movie, Missus, Doubtfire.

(02:15:49):
Miss It's a classic, right, It is such a funny
ass Movieupha Jenia. It's eupha Jenia doubt Fire. And it's
you know, obviously a genius movie that everybody loves. But
it comes up in this news story. This says a
man dressed as his dead mother in a Misdoubt Fire
style scheme to collect a sixty thousand dollars pension.

Speaker 4 (02:16:14):
Okay, that was not in the movie.

Speaker 2 (02:16:15):
So three years after her death, Well, this guy didn't
have a job at the local PBS TV station, Oh
my god or whatever. But he dressed up like his
own mother.

Speaker 4 (02:16:28):
That's him on the left.

Speaker 2 (02:16:29):
This is him right here on the road. That's the
that's the Graham or the mother. The mother is on
the left. For those of you who are not watching,
I'll put this up on see it now so you
can see him dressed up as his mother. It's not bad.
It's not bad. He looks quite a bit like her.
An Italian man disguised himself as his deceased mother to
collect her pension. For three full years, police visited the

(02:16:53):
house because they were thinking something, excuse me, something was
going wrong, and police at the house fund the mummified
body of his mother.

Speaker 4 (02:17:02):
Okay, also not in Missus Doubtfire.

Speaker 2 (02:17:04):
So yeah, that was a cutout of the classic. The
fifty six year old man disguised himself as his mother,
eighty five year old Grisella dal Oglio in a blouse
and skirt, lipstick, a smart a short brown wig in
a misdoubt Fire style scheme to collect his mother's pension
at about sixty thousand dollars a year for three years.

(02:17:25):
He showed up and it said she looked very much
like the woman in the photo on the idea, but
there was something that just seemed a little off, like
the hair on her now, the heavy makeup, and the
beard holes that were protruding from the grease paint. They said,
is so they looked at it, they go, something ain't right.
I don't think you're actually the woman who's supposed to

(02:17:46):
be getting this money. They went back to his house
found his mom wasn't a mummy but more of a
mummy at the time there arrested him.

Speaker 6 (02:17:55):
There's one of those memes that goes around a lot
that I don't even need the sound on because I
know exactly what's going on. Is from the reveal scene
and missus doubt fire, and he usually says something like,
my wife, after I've been in the after the shower
has been on for eight minutes, and just just here's
the toilet flush, and it's.

Speaker 2 (02:18:16):
The wife, Go Daniel, this whole time, this whole time,
this whole time. I love it.

Speaker 4 (02:18:23):
This whole time.

Speaker 2 (02:18:24):
To be clear, we support the movie Missed Out Fire,
not the action of pretending to be your dead mother
and getting a pension.

Speaker 4 (02:18:33):
While having your dead mother in your house.

Speaker 2 (02:18:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:18:36):
Cross. How about the pensions after you die?

Speaker 2 (02:18:39):
They well, they either stop or go to If you're married,
they go to your partner sometime. I think like, if
I got Social Security coming in at some point in
time and I die qualifies pretty soon, I shouldn't have
said that. I shouldn't have said that.

Speaker 8 (02:18:58):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:18:58):
One of the rudest things that's happened to me recently.

Speaker 4 (02:19:00):
What these kids will get off my lan.

Speaker 2 (02:19:04):
There was a guy at the bar next to us,
and he asked for and received the senior discount at
a bar. And then Courtney was like, you got the
senior discount, and you know interesting it. I'm like, I
am so far away from the senior discount.

Speaker 4 (02:19:20):
Ma'am, and you get the discount.

Speaker 2 (02:19:23):
I don't know, but I hope it's way past your
early forties. I wait.

Speaker 6 (02:19:26):
The one of the rudest things that's happened to me recently,
my friend's girlfriend said, I saw this awesome Christmas gift idea, Yeah,
and I said we should get this.

Speaker 2 (02:19:40):
For Sea Lane. It's a flight simulator and uh Nope,
not gonna happen. That true story truth too. Oh it
says fifty five senior discounts if.

Speaker 5 (02:19:52):
You are so close.

Speaker 2 (02:19:55):
I don't like that at all. I am not a
fan of that. I that's barely even out of adolescence,
not even an adult yet. You ken't be getting a
senior discount.

Speaker 4 (02:20:09):
Discount with the flight sim you later, you won't give Sea.

Speaker 6 (02:20:11):
Line in eleven years. You'll be early aging. You know,
by the time you start getting these senior discounts.

Speaker 2 (02:20:18):
I'm out of here.

Speaker 4 (02:20:18):
On those librarys AARP specials.

Speaker 2 (02:20:23):
I'll take them. We're gonna take quick break. When we
come back, we'll do this final dispatches stories that didn't
make the cut, and today learn to wrap everything up
for a Tuesday and for the whole damn week we
get ready for Thanksgiving. Have some fun with us in
the final segment of November twenty twenty five that is
coming up next on the new US Chunkie crossing the

(02:21:00):
finish line. Now with everything to wrap up.

Speaker 6 (02:21:03):
The show, a little bit of that soul music that
the dispatcher sent in that the AI soul which even
the logo for that artists quote unquote was was like
AI slap logo, but the.

Speaker 4 (02:21:17):
Music was all right, gets paid makes the props.

Speaker 2 (02:21:22):
Yeah, whoever, whoever's like behind the AI talent. Also the
artist that originally wrote the song has to get paid,
at least in the in the ones that are on Spotify.
I don't know that's true.

Speaker 6 (02:21:32):
I don't know about this other guy that I've been watching,
but I found him, the one that even Pisenberg was
texting me about, the professor Nick Harrison is what he
goes by and he just takes all these like really popular.

Speaker 2 (02:21:44):
Songs and changes their genre with AI.

Speaker 6 (02:21:46):
And I want to know how he does it because
I can't get AI to make copyrighted music and usually
just do it.

Speaker 2 (02:21:53):
But like this, this is Lightning Crashes.

Speaker 4 (02:21:59):
Is the one who is chop Suey. Yeah, it's so good.
This it reminds me of Teddy Swims and the chopond is.

Speaker 2 (02:22:09):
Dead is incredible. Yeah. I don't like this at all.
That's a that's a gateway drug. That's what that is.

(02:22:30):
That's a gateway drug. Do you really catching you don't
like how much we like it?

Speaker 8 (02:22:34):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:22:34):
I I like it, but I don't like it because
it's a gateway drug. Because that's really good. And now
I'm like, I might blast some of that wan I
listen to that during Thanksgiving with the family. That's really
catchy stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:22:48):
It's great.

Speaker 2 (02:22:49):
Damn it. Man, that's going to be the rise of
AI superstars. It literally is right now. Okay, let's get
the hell out of here. Let's do the final dispatch.
He's on the final d I'll do what we got
on the way out here. By the way, I was
gonna say earlier, a new secret show drops today at

(02:23:10):
five pm. If it's after five pm, it's up. If
it's not, it'll be up at five pm. You can
unlock secret shows learn more about it over on thenewsjunkie
dot com. Let's see what we got for the final
dispatch and let me refresh for the latest tears. Evil
Eye talking about AI music versus human music.

Speaker 20 (02:23:30):
You know, you can steal an AI song and make
it your own and play it live, and then when
somebody goes that to an AI song and you go no,
because we're on stage playing.

Speaker 2 (02:23:44):
I don't know if that's how it works.

Speaker 20 (02:23:46):
It doesn't matter who wrote it. We're still playing the
song and you like it.

Speaker 2 (02:23:51):
Well, it doesn't work in the case of the Lightning
Crashes song because that's a live song, that's who that is,
and you'd still be on the hook for that. But
they just took it and made it really catchy. It
makes me annoyed that they made it so catchy. Here's
popcorn fart.

Speaker 22 (02:24:06):
Quick check in on this whole presidential turkey partner thing.

Speaker 2 (02:24:10):
Who this guy is? Brutal? Good lord?

Speaker 22 (02:24:14):
January sixth, you're all pardoned this bitcoin guy from China
who's a total scumbag. Full pardon being a turkey m
I don't know. It's gonna take some thought.

Speaker 2 (02:24:27):
Maybe maybe not.

Speaker 22 (02:24:28):
What's next we find out this turkey is from south
of the border, get it out of here.

Speaker 20 (02:24:33):
It's not an American turkey.

Speaker 2 (02:24:35):
I don't want it.

Speaker 20 (02:24:36):
It's taking American turkey jobs.

Speaker 2 (02:24:39):
Tip your turkey stuffer. Thank you appreciate it. Let's see
we'll do one more on the way out. Here's two
tickets a poundtown.

Speaker 23 (02:24:48):

full season of The Russell Crow Show. I really want that,
making movies, making songs and fighting around the world.

Speaker 2 (02:25:28):
All thank you, I appreciate you. And while damn that
song stuck in my head, the stupid lightning crashes one,
I hate you for that, we get to get to
the good part. Yeah, I know, shut shut it, damn it.

Speaker 3 (02:26:08):
It sounds I bet they're pulling from Teddy Swims.

Speaker 4 (02:26:12):
Oh peace, getting it doesn't sound.

Speaker 2 (02:26:13):
Like Teddy Swims. You're not wrong about that.

Speaker 3 (02:26:15):
It does sound a lot, but you're chop sean. It's
like the first time I can understand and know what
the lyrics are. And two you start to get like
the chillsen almost cry where it's like, good, this is
a quite a sad song.

Speaker 2 (02:26:28):
Whatever that type of music is is. That's one of
my favorite genres of music.

Speaker 4 (02:26:32):
I called a pull your heart, rip it out of
your chest spiritual.

Speaker 2 (02:26:37):
I don't know whatever that is. I'm into it. Whatever
that is you say, soul, Yeah, soul, I'm into it.
Then let's get the hell out of here. Let's do today.

Speaker 19 (02:26:46):

we go Taylor for a Tuesday, November twenty fifth, twenty
twenty five, Today learned.

Speaker 3 (02:27:20):
This thing.

Speaker 5 (02:27:23):
Wicked.

Speaker 2 (02:27:24):
Wicked is correcting. The film adaptation of the musical Wicked
and was in discussion since two thousand and four. It
had been delayed over and over and over and over again.
It was delayed in twenty eighteen, it was delayed in
twenty twenty. It was put on hold over and over again.
And then when at one point in time they stopped

(02:27:45):
it and they said, I don't think this Wicked movie
is going to work. We got a better idea. We're
going to do a movie. Hear me out, a movie
version of Cats? Oh really work out? Yeah? That one
was a bit more controversial. Today learned the biggest empire
in the Animlia Kingdom is a global mega colony of

(02:28:10):
ants in Argentina that well hold on the global mega
quality of Argentine ants that spans from California all the
way to Europe because of matching pheromones. This says, I
don't know enough about those ants to know what's going on,
but sure sounds great. Sounds tayloran this guy right here,

(02:28:34):
Shas's Ride. His first song ever that caught people's attention
was about NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, and people said, this
is a clever song. We like this guy. What else
can you do? And now he's got a huge song
with tipsy of our song. And Taylor, this holiday right here, Thanksgiving,

(02:28:56):
thanks that's right. I got Thanksgivings Before Thanksgiving parades and
Halloween became popular. There were rack them uffin parades back
of the eighteen hundreds, and I said, let's do something different.
I don't really care about that at all. I only
wanted to end with this song. Obviously well done. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody,
