Happy 2024, everybody, as we're

0:03

back from our holiday break

0:05

there to now bring you

0:08

more horrible

0:17

stories of horrible people for the new year.

0:20

Yeah. It's

0:23

been an interesting, yeah,

0:26

interesting couple of days so far.

0:30

It's not been positive. There's been so many like, oh

0:32

my gosh, doom and gloom in 2024. I

0:35

don't know. I don't know what to expect in 2024. I'm

0:37

going to go into it with a positive attitude because

0:39

it feels like the years where it felt like this

0:41

is going to be the best year ever. 2020

0:44

seemed like, hey, this might be a good year. Can't

0:47

we know how that worked out? I

0:49

don't know. Maybe the years, I find that sometimes the

0:51

years where you go into them and it's like feeling

0:54

like it's going to be a shit show, it isn't. So

0:57

maybe... I'll be honest with you. I'm just

0:59

going in with, you know what? It just means

1:01

I have to get a new calendar. I've got

1:03

a couple. I've got a Ted Lasso calendar now.

1:05

I'm very happy about that. That's

1:08

about as excited as I'm going to

1:10

get because of the last three years.

1:12

So if it's a great year, cool.

1:14

If it's not, I'm ready for

1:16

it. I'm just going to start operating off of the Mayan calendar

1:18

that expired in 2012. I'm just

1:20

going to... Yes, that's exactly

1:22

what we should all be doing. I'm

1:24

just going to make up my own one. And

1:26

New Year's isn't until officially the... Until

1:29

spring starts. So... Yeah, I

1:31

was going to say. Yeah. And the

1:33

way right now for where I am, it's

1:35

30 degrees and cloudy. It's been cloudy for

1:38

at least four or five days.

1:40

So everybody's depressed. Everybody's down. We

1:42

need something to uplift us. Your

1:44

Packers aren't doing too well. And...

1:47

They're not my Packers, honey. Not your Packers. Yeah.

1:50

You live in the territory. I do. But

1:53

they just walloped my team on Sunday. So I

1:55

really can't say anything. Yeah. So

1:57

we'll see. Yeah. Well,

1:59

2:01

yes across the pond but down

2:03

below in that pond Australian

2:06

2:08

the death of his wife Olympian

2:11

Melissa Hoskins this is

2:13

and I was talking about this the other

2:16

day a little bit off the air it's

2:18

like oh wow another cyclist murder story there

2:20

2:22

2:29

charges in that case and here's another one

2:31

of the world of cycling this

2:33

2:36

much another shock to the cycling community Melissa

2:38

Hopkins who was 32 lost her life after

2:40

being struck by a car in Adelaide

2:44

in Australia following the announcement of her death

2:47

by the Australian Olympic Committee it was soon

2:49

reported that her husband Rowan Dennis 33 a

2:51

former Olympian and

2:54

world champion himself arrested

2:56

in charge in relation to the incident

2:58

Hoskins who represented Australia in the team

3:01

pursuit event in both 2012 London in

3:05

Olympics was involved in the fatal accident

3:07

3:12

3:14

Australian police the 33 year old man

3:16

3:25

Saturday he's been charged with

3:27

causing death by dangerous

3:29

driving driving without due care and

3:32

endangering life keep in mind these are Australian

3:34

charges so they have different terms the police

3:37

statement did not disclose the identities of the

3:39

invent in the who's me

3:41

of the individuals involved but various

3:43

media outlets have widely reported them as

3:46

Rowan Dennis and Melissa Hoskins the police

3:48

report further reveals that the woman suffered

3:50

serious injuries and subsequently passed away in

3:52

the hospital marking the 114th life

3:54

lost in South

3:57

Australian roads this

3:59

year Really? In three days?

4:01

Or are we talking, are

4:03

we counting into... That's a

4:07

good question. Well, she died on December 21st

4:09

and 31st. Oh, okay. Well, it was last

4:11

year. That's not many. A hundred

4:14

and fourteen and that's a big country compared

4:17

to 71 at the same time last year. So they

4:19

had an uptake. The driver has been bailed

4:21

to appear in court on March 13th.

4:24

The spokesperson for the South Australian Police

4:26

declined to confirm the identity is involved,

4:28

stating we are unable to confirm identities.

4:31

Additionally, a contact listed as

4:33

Rowan Dennis website has yet to respond to inquiries

4:35

for comment. The couple who tied the knot in

4:38

2018 and retired from cycling

4:40

their careers and were parents to two

4:42

children, as depicted in

4:44

Dennis' Instagram account. His last post on

4:47

Christmas featured a family photo in front

4:49

of a decorated tree caption, Merry Christmas

4:51

to Merry Christmas from our family to

4:53

yours. Melissa Hoskins has

4:55

achieved considerable success in her cycling

4:58

career. And we talked

5:00

about that, including the pursuit

5:02

of the gold medal, the 2015 world

5:04

champions in France, her contribution

5:06

to the sport extended beyond her competitive years

5:09

as AUS cycling chief

5:11

executive. Marnie Fletcher

5:13

stated Melissa described her team pursuit gold

5:15

medal at the 2015 world

5:18

champions as the highlight of her

5:20

career. But for the rest of us, the highlight was

5:22

just having her around. Although she retired in 2017, her

5:24

presence as

5:27

an alumnus of the sport has been

5:30

felt and appeared by many are appreciated

5:32

rather by many in the cycling and

5:34

the riding community. I'm

5:36

not clear, because they're

5:38

not really being very clear on

5:41

what and here's the thing I found this

5:43

on Reddit and take it

5:45

or leave it. Reddit to me seems

5:48

incredible as a source of sorts. Yeah.

5:51

There are other there are other details

5:53

that there was some sort of a

5:55

fight going on. She

5:57

Jumped on to they say the bonnet.

6:00

The A Volkswagen which is the hood.

6:02

Okay, that's so yeah. This is like

6:04

because the boot is the trunk. Grabbed.

6:07

At the door handle before the vehicle was

6:09

driven off and she fell to the ground

6:12

and was then dragged by the vehicle. And

6:15

are claiming that the incident was

6:17

allegedly captured on neighbors security cameras.

6:19

So I'm wondering, why is this

6:21

not. Part. Of the mainstream media,

6:23

Why is this part not being talked about?

6:25

But it's. Is. Bubbling under the surface

6:27

that people know this. Ah, Because

6:30

he probably has not been of what

6:32

we've been saying in the story. As

6:34

of this recording you the the authorities

6:36

have not confirmed those pieces of it

6:38

and that's what makes us even more

6:40

confusing because it's like Will was see.

6:43

In. The car we see outside of the

6:45

car was he driving the car. Be.

6:48

Higher I got one to hit her with the

6:50

car. That said,

6:53

But. It is yeah because well little

6:55

be very interesting to see what exactly

6:57

all of that. Are. How all

6:59

of that transpired Of That in fact,

7:01

use true. I. Am getting

7:03

there is another story I just

7:05

found. says. Haskins was struck

7:08

by the vehicle in her neighborhood. She.

7:10

Jumped under the hood of the vehicle her

7:12

husband was driving know grabbed a door handle

7:15

before the vehicle was driven off and she

7:17

fell to the ground. Okay, Well.

7:19

So that's actually this is from.

7:22

He I r o channel seven I don't

7:25

know if this is a. Where.

7:27

This is based out of, but that's

7:30

gotten way more detail than any of

7:32

the mainstream news services, as had I.

7:35

Yeah. I I'm gonna guess so.

7:37

Some sort of domestic dispute? that

7:39

really? when he crazy mode. And.

7:42

People were making horrible, horrible decisions

7:44

in the moment. And.

7:46

She ended up dead. Man.

7:50

And now that the kids have lost, both parents

7:52

insist young enough you're if you're having a site.

7:54

was somebody. Take. A brass

7:56

walk away at this doesn't

7:59

solve anything. Anybody? yeah, involving

8:01

motor vehicles in domestic disputes doesn't

8:03

usually. And well, especially yeah, ending

8:05

up on a hood. Of

8:08

a vehicle A If he did city jumped

8:10

I don't think the of though I'm sure

8:12

be an investigation to determine how she ended

8:14

up on that. who did see jump on

8:16

the hood it's did she get hit in

8:18

landed on the bonnet or the hood of

8:20

this car. Ah, there's a

8:22

lotta questions I'm sure to

8:24

be assed. and el Portal

8:26

story. Yeah, it is

8:28

and it's not the way you want to And. The.

8:31

Other year at Ces. Ah, it's

8:33

one that family as one that's

8:35

gonna have probably a lot of

8:37

questions to it. I will see

8:39

how he pleads and where this

8:41

all goes. And. When I

8:44

guess really really really bad choices are

8:46

being made of it doesn't sound like

8:48

is you know been a flight risk

8:50

in been? I'm heading out to other

8:52

countries to teach yoga classes. Changes identity.

8:56

Assessed. You know I wonder was

8:58

alcohol involved? The somebody drunk with

9:00

somebody accusing somebody? I'm doing something.

9:03

How in the world you get to this? Point: Well,

9:06

I don't think it was over. Who

9:08

opened the Pringles because once you pop

9:10

you can't stop. and then it went

9:12

into this. I think that might. To.

9:14

An overreaction if it was settled that

9:17

them but it'll that probably probably something

9:19

a little bit more than that dark

9:21

dark story. ah but yeah that the

9:23

it seems fairly know cut and dry

9:26

almost of well what happens that looks

9:28

like some sort of dispute of of

9:30

something are covered up our on the

9:32
