Well, since the fatal shooting on the set of the movie Rust Happened a couple of years ago, Alec Baldwin has been adamant that he did not pull the trigger that launched the bullet that tragically killed cinematographer Helena Hutchins. But in opening statements yesterday, Alex attorney, Alex Spiro, acknowledged for the first time that he may have pulled the trigger. However, he argued that would not make him criminally negligent. Spiro said, on a movie set, you're allowed to pull the trigger. Even if he intentionally pulled that trigger, that doesn't make him guilty of homicide. Now, this is interesting and I think it was a surprise to the prosecution because their whole argument was trying to prove that, yes, he did pull the trigger. And the defense yesterday came right out and said, yeah, he may have pulled the trigger. This doesn't make him a murderer. It wasn't intentional. The defense will also argue that an FBI examiner needlessly destroyed the gun when they were investigating the beginning of this whole thing, making it impossible to know with certainty that it was even functioning normally in the first place. I wonder if their thought is that she got charged and she got like 18 months. Correct. For what happened. The armor. The armor. And maybe if he does this, he'll either get a lesser charge for what happened or the jury will look at it as he's at least owning up to it. I don't know. It's interesting. It was just a switch that I don't think a lot of people thought was going to happen in opening statements, especially. It's like star studded because, you know, it's happening in like this, in New Mexico. There's not a lot of stars that, you know, are hanging out in New Mexico all the time, right? There's Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, and their 29 kids are all hanging out there right now. Yeah, yeah. Nicki Minaj fans are blasting her for showing up late for her own show. And then for putting on a crappy show when she finally showed up, ticket holders packed the sold out show in Dublin for a concert that was supposed to begin at 8 p.m. Fans were waiting in the pouring rain as they waited, waited, waited. 90 minutes later, an hour and a half later, Nicki finally takes the stage. And that was just the beginning. I guess she cut disappearing during the show for good chunks of time. And she lip-synced almost the entire thing. So people were just pissed off that they paid for not only a late show, but a disappointing show. I'm not surprised about the lip-syncing. I think if you went into that expecting anything different, that's almost on you at that point. 8 o'clock to 9.30 to me, is that crazy? Was there an opener? Like, did the opener not show? I think she was supposed to take the stage at 8 and didn't get on top. Maybe the opener went off. Have you ever seen that happen? Where the opener goes off? Does on time. And it was waiting. And then you wait forever afterwards. It happened to me once. I've seen Lady Gaga live three times, and one time it happened, and I was like, "What is happening?" Oh, I'd be so mad. But that's... I don't know. I feel like 8 o'clock is early for a headliner to go on. I don't know. Cole Kardashian admitting that, yes, she absolutely would have used Ozempegg when she was bigger to shed some pounds. She makes that admission on this week's episode of the Kardashian. She's doing a little Q&A for the fabletics brand. When I was bigger, if they had Ozempegg, I probably would have tried it because I tried any other thing. I tried any fat weight loss trend except for the real thing that actually works, and that's a lifestyle change. So I really want to encourage healthiness. And lastly, this is a crazy story. Two Ohio women have pleaded guilty to propping up the dead body of an 80-year-old man in the passenger seat of a car so they could withdraw money from his bank account at the bank's drive-through window. This man's name is, or I should say was, Douglas Lehman. Bernie, we can-- It isn't. It isn't. It isn't. They've been served a home with him. I don't know what that arrangement was, but whatever. I guess what happened was after he died, they went through the drive-through. They tried to withdraw cash from his account, and the teller told them that he had to be with them in order for them to do that. So they brought him back dead as a doornail in the passenger seat. Unaware that poor Doug was actually dead, a bank employee let these women withdraw $900 from his account. They are now being charged with abuse of a corpse, which is a felony, and misdemeanor theft as well. Wow. That, by the way, can you imagine picking up a dead body, propping it up in the back? I don't know. How do they get him to stay so still or so? Ricker Mortis. He was in that position. That's amazing. You know, you could also use him if you needed to go through the plus two lines, the commuter lines that they now have. Have you seen those things now on 75? Yes. It's the car, the carpool lanes. We now have them here in the Detroit area. We have carpool lanes. So you have to have at least two people in the car in order to use them. I'd like to use my dead grandpa and see if I can do it for all of today's dirty get all caught up with the podcast on the free I heart radio app or mode in the morning. How dangerous is it to unwrap a burger at 40 miles per hour? More so than you think, in a little over two seconds, your car can travel slightly more than 117 feet, which is the same length as 20 bicycles. Anything that distracts you while driving is dangerous. That's why driving while texting can be deadly too. So put it down, it can wait. Don't drive distracted, shift into safe. message from the Colorado Department of Transportation.
