Hello , good morning , happy Thursday . Okay , we have to really , really really get right to it because I am running behind . Alright , we have three podcast topics we are going to start with . Okay , we're going to do an update on the Daniel Penny case .
There is a European couple who has a taped video of this whole incident and they are refusing to participate in the trial . I didn't know that you could do that . Well , there's more to the story . Well , the reason they are refusing is because they are no longer in America . They went back to their home , so you know no wonder . All right , here we go .
A European couple who videotaped the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely could be incredibly favorable to the ex-Marine Daniel Penny's defense At his upcoming trial . His lawyers say but the mystery lovebirds have refused to testify . I did not know that you could refuse to testify , hello , uh .
Manhattan Supreme court justice Maxwell Wiley revealed Monday that the two European eyewitnesses have rebuffed . Prosecutors bid to get them to turn over the footage . I didn't know that you could not turn over footage either . Um , and return to the city for Penny's trial next month .
According to a transcript attained by the post this is from the New York Post the couple apparently took a video of the incident and since that time have declined to testify in the grand jury and have gone back to their home , which apparently is in Europe someplace . The judge said during a lawyers-only conference Wow , this is shameful .
This man probably saved your life or saved some kind of heartache for you , and you're not going to help him out . And you videotaped the whole thing . F you All right . So they have so far refused to share the video that they took . I wonder if they can get it from the cloud . The judge added .
They refuse to share it with the DA or with anyone else , and they are so far refusing to come back to testify . So they're refuse to share it with the da or with anyone else , and they are so far refusing to come back to testify . So they're refusing to share it with the da as well , not just the defense attorney refusing to share all of it .
The tourists have conducted a couple of video meetings with the manhattan district attorney's office , but they have yet to agree to fully cooperate . The judge said no explanation was provided for why the husband and wife are refusing to hand over the footage or testify in the controversial case . It's unclear where in europe they are from .
They know where they are from . Come on , oh , these people , they should be ashamed of themselves f them . They should be banned from ever coming back to the United States . Ugh , I don't like them already , penny .
So Penny , who was not in court Monday , faces charges for second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide for the caught-on-camera confrontation that left Neely dead on the floor of an . How come ? Alright , I have a question . How come he's not out on bail ? Or maybe he is . He might be , uh , he might be out on bail .
He was just happened to be Elizabeth Penny , who was not in court . He may be , I'm sorry , you're right , he's probably out , uh , but how come his trial ? What happened to a speedy trial ?
Maybe they're trying to get all , maybe this is part of the stuff they're trying to get gather , uh , but so his case is still pending and these people are refusing to participate and hand over a tape that could help Daniel Penny and you know he helped them . Oh , it just makes me so mad , these people . You can go finish reading that story .
We're going to move on , okay , this is kind of an interesting story , which is why I included it . The oldest map of the world , on nearly 3 000 year old babylonian tablet deciphered to reveal surprisingly familiar story . That is a long headline . All right , here we go . I wanted to include this because I'll get to it .
It's long and in detail so I hope that I can get this out without being confusing . The oldest map of the world in the world on a Babylonian clay tablet was deciphered over multiple centuries to reveal a surprisingly familiar story .
According to a recent video published by the british museum , the cuneiform tablet from the 6th century bc shows an aerial view map of mazotope okay , mezzo , mezzo potomia roughly modern day iraq , so roughly modern day iraq and what the babylonians believed lay beyond the unknown world at the time .
Interesting the ancient artifact discovered in the Middle East was acquired by the British Museum in 1882 , but remained a mystery for centuries until curators found a missing part and transcribed its cuneiform I'm sure I'm not pronouncing that word correctly , but that's what I'm going with .
The tablet has several paragraphs of the cuneiform on its backside and above the map diagram describing the creation of the earth and what its writer believed existed beyond it . This is so fascinating .
The map shows Mesopotamia surrounded by a double ring , which the ancient scribe labeled the Bitter River , a river that created the borders around the Babylonians' known world . Inside the Bitter River , small circles and rectangles represent different cities and tribes in Mesopotamia , including Babylon , and another rectangle representing the Euphrates River .
You have , okay , I'm going to skip that . Okay , here we go . Where's the thing I wanted to get ? Oh , here we go . Here we go . Okay . Where's the thing I wanted to get ? Oh , here we go . Here we go , okay .
The Babylonian scribe also mapped out what they believed existed outside their world , including mythical creatures and lands , as well as a reference to a well-known story today , essentially the Babylonian version of the biblical story of Noah's Ark . Oh , my gosh , wow , okay .
The ancient babylonians believed the remnants of the giant ark built in 1800 bc by their version of noah named oh atna pishtim at the instruction of god , lay beyond the bitter river , on the backside of the mountain , the same mountain that Noah's Ark crashed on , according to the Bible .
That's quite a meaty thing , quite an interesting thing to think about , because it shows that the story was the same and , of course , that one led to the other Okay , wow , so that's interesting , I think All right . To the other Okay , wow , so that's interesting , I think All right , all right . This next one , kind of in a pop culture-y thing .
Now , bon Jovi , come on , you used to like him , you used to love him and then the pandemic happened and you hear this ridiculous . He makes this ridiculous song with another singer , songwriter , woman about the vaccine and he sounds like he's freaking drunk , quite frankly , on this song that he did for the vaccine .
Pat Gray plays it a lot on his show on the Blaze . Pat Gray Unleashed and that's when I realized I did not like Jon Bon Jovi anymore with that stupid , ridiculous song about the vaccine and COVID . Come on , however recent news , he may have redeemed himself , not may have . He definitely redeemed himself .
In my book , john bon jovi saves woman from jumping off nashville bridge while filming music video in heart-wrenching clip . And he is there , he is there , he walked right up on there . He actually , oh my gosh , john bon jovi helped stop a woman from jumping off a nashville bridge on wednesday , likely saving her life . Yeah , dud , likely saving . He did save it .
Let's just say it all right .
The legendary rocker encountered the woman around 6 pm local time as he was filming a music video for his song people's house on the john pedestrian , on the john sigan heather , whatever pedestrian bridge there's I'm terrible with pronunciation this , oh , these names , I swear in surveillance video shared on x by the metro , so you can probably go find that .
Uh , just type in john bon jovi , nashville bridge , probably . Uh , by the metropolitan nash national police department . The living on a prayer singer can be seen approaching the woman as she appears about to jump . My god , could you imagine if she went ahead and jumped with him ? Oh , my gosh , thank god she didn't .
Shortly after , bon jovi and the fellow good samaritan helped pull the woman over the railing and away from danger . After the woman was back on the pedestrian path , she and bon jovi hugged . The bridge was completely open to the . I know which bridge is this ? No , I'm thinking of chattanooga bridge , never mind .
After the woman was back on the , okay , the bridge was completely open to the public when bon jovi was filming the video and the incident subsequently occurred . The post understands that Bon Jovi won't be making any public comments out of respect for the person and their privacy . The story goes on . You can read all about more .
I don't know if it doesn't say anything else about the woman , just about how he saved her . Wow , that's crazy , but good for him , thank god . So he has redeemed himself . All right , that's all I have . I had to keep it short because I'm running late today , but we do need a question of the day , okay ?
So if you , okay , you know how they name hurricanes . I guess I'm not really know how they name hurricanes . I guess I'm not really sure how they come up with names for the hurricanes . Is it like Greek alphabet ? I'm not sure how they do it . Maybe you can tell me . I know there is a system to naming them , I just don't know what .
It is right off the top of my head . But if you could name hurricanes , what would you name them ? Would you name them after villains in movies , villains in books ? Would you ? Just what would you ? Would you , what would you name hurricanes ? Would you have a set system to do it or just pick names out of the air ? Maybe after ex-wives , ex-husbands ?
How would you name hurricanes ? Maybe I something . I don't know . I think I something I don't know . I think I would . I don't know , I don't even know the answer to my own question . I have to think about that . My first gut reaction for some reason Star Trek came to mind . I think I would like to name them after Star Trek characters .
I don't know why , but that came to my mind . All right , I got to go . You guys have a great day and and stay safe , and I will be back again tomorrow . Actually , the gent will be with me tomorrow as well , on a Friday , I know . Okay , have a good one . Bye .
