00:00Hi, I'm Bill Smith of the Smith, Potter & Dale Law Firm.
00:27Have you been accused of gross negligence?
00:29Were you injured in a freak parachute accident?
00:32Have you been accused of hurting yourself on somebody else's property through no fault of anybody but yours?
00:38Well, at this law firm, we're ready to listen.
00:41I can't read that font, man.
00:49Good evening, and welcome to Predictably Incorrect.
00:52I'm your host, Skye Thompson, and you might recognize me from the Weather Channel.
00:56I'm one of the premier forecasters on that channel, have been for a couple number of years here.
01:01The topic of today's discussion is weather.
01:03And as you know, the Weather Channel is considered to be one of the best forecasters
01:07and prognosticators of global events and environmental changes on the planet.
01:14But as you know, the cable networks are varied, and there are a lot of them.
01:18So we decided to bring some of the weathermen from those cable channels onto our program to speak about the weather today.
01:23So let's meet them.
01:24On our left, we have from the New Age Network, Justin Edwards.
01:28Justin, welcome to the program.
01:30Hey, it's such a good pleasure to be here. Thank you very much.
01:32No problem.
01:33On my right, from PBS, we have Mark Johnson.
01:36Mark, welcome to the program.
01:40Okay.
01:41And on the left, of course, last but not least, we have from the country music channel, Earl Wright.
01:47Earl, welcome.
01:48Good to see you, Scott.
01:49Good to be here.
01:50Right on. Thank you very much.
01:51We bought you a T-shirt from the network.
01:53Oh, thank you very much.
01:55I'm sure that will stretch out.
01:57Earl, got a little something on your nose there.
02:00Okay.
02:01All right, well, let's go ahead and start right away.
02:03We just want to talk a little bit about tomorrow's weather.
02:05What we're going to cover in this show is who's right, who's wrong, and accuracy, how we achieve it.
02:10But let's talk about tomorrow's weather.
02:12Justin, if you want to start and give us just a quick forecast of the weather tomorrow.
02:15I'm seeing two things.
02:16I'm seeing a letter and I'm seeing a number.
02:20Do you believe the letter would be an H and the number would be a 2?
02:28H and a 2 would be H2O would be water, which would be rain.
02:33Rain.
02:34I'm predicting rain tomorrow about 745.
02:38Okay.
02:39745 with the rain.
02:40Rain.
02:41There's definitely rain.
02:42How does PBS feel about that?
02:45Well, PBS doesn't actually have a prediction for tomorrow's weather.
02:48But let me tell you what we're trying to do.
02:50We're trying to set up weather that you will not get a chance to see on the major networks.
02:55That's what we're wanting to do.
02:56And I think as long as you send in your donations, then we will be able to –
03:01Mark, Mark, Mark.
03:02What?
03:03You can't ask for donations on my show.
03:04You have to pay for advertising.
03:06But we need donations for you to not get the man's weather.
03:09You don't want government-enforced weather.
03:11I think they understand that public broadcasting –
03:13I think I understand that people understand that that's a donation sort of thing.
03:17I think we know that.
03:18And your donations count.
03:20If you can please send in your money to help us predict the weather, we're going to give you great weather.
03:24Do you have a prediction for the weather tomorrow?
03:27We don't have any equipment yet, but your dollars will buy us equipment.
03:31Just stop.
03:32If you don't have one, just stop.
03:33Earl, your prediction for the weather.
03:35Well, the dew's going to be frosting on the mountaintops tomorrow.
03:38Fish is going to be at a slow catfish at the bottom.
03:41And I see an ale on her forehead.
03:44Excuse me?
03:46I didn't understand anything about a catfish.
03:48I thought we were doing weather.
03:50Well, you can't knock Justin for his methods.
03:53I mean, you know, he's got to predict –
03:54My methods are very trained.
03:56I've been doing this for 35 years.
03:58Well, you know what?
03:59That brings us to the next subject.
04:00How do we get the weather forecast?
04:02We all know how we get it at the Weather Channel.
04:04Earl, how do you get the weather?
04:06What sort of techniques, what technology do you use?
04:08Oh, sure, go to the corporation with the biggest money first.
04:11No, I just picked him because he was the last.
04:13No, no, it's all about the money is what it's about.
04:15That's fine.
04:16Actually, if I can interject, I don't believe Earl has any money at all.
04:19Have you seen his outfit?
04:20I mean, it is ragged, ragged.
04:22He hasn't even been to a washer.
04:24His company is the fifth largest in the United States,
04:28where the top 1% of that company are making so much money,
04:32and the other people, the lower people are making nothing.
04:34You seem like you're dressed pretty nice, like you're the top 1%.
04:38Well, well, well, over in England, we do have the New Age Channel,
04:41which I do believe you Americans don't even have yet.
04:44But it is a new channel full of thoughts and ideas and creativity.
04:49Look, I don't want to get into money or economics.
04:51I just want to know about the damn weather.
04:53Can we talk about the weather, please?
04:55How about that? You guys are weathermen, right?
04:57London boy don't like America. He should go home.
04:59Huh? How about that?
05:00Well, actually, I was only flown over here for this show,
05:03and then I am. I'm right back out to England in about two clicks, and then I'm gone.
05:08And we can give you the weather in London if you just send in your money to us.
05:12All right, you know what, Mark? Stop. Stop with the sending the money.
05:15Oh, because you don't want us to have any money,
05:17so your fascist self can give us your fascist weather.
05:20All right, you know what? I will kick your skinny butt all over this studio.
05:24I don't get any money. You know what?
05:26I got like 900 bucks taken out of my check last week.
05:29Where do you think that went? To the government.
05:31Guys, guys, guys. Let's get back to the weather, please.
05:35I'm sorry.
05:36Rain. Rain. Rain. Predicting rain.
05:39Rain. What's your forecast?
05:41Cold snap frost.
05:42Cold snap frost. How about you?
05:44Poverty. Poverty because the man holds us back.
05:48All right, you know what? You don't have to spit on my neck, Mark.
05:51All right, I invited you on.
05:52You know, we didn't have to.
05:53We could have gotten some public access weathermen to come up here.
05:55We didn't have to get PBS, okay?
05:58All right, well, there you have it.
05:59We have very differing views about the weather.
06:01I'm here to tell you that the Weather Channel says that you're wrong and you're wrong
06:06and you, you know, stick to the ballet stuff.
06:09He is a fascist. Maybe you need to find Jesus, Sky.
06:13Yeah, I could help you get there.
06:15All right, you know what?
06:16Actually, I do know Jesus' weather is very clear.
06:20All right, look, that's all the time we have for today.
06:23I think we've got a clear view that we're not going to really get it together on the weather.
06:27Thank you, thank you, thank you.
06:28You know, that is so wrong.
06:30Thanks for tuning in to Predictably Incorrect.
06:33Sky, I mean, I'm sorry, Justin and Mark and Earl.

12:34Men have been trying to fight back, but only seem to be able to last the length of one
12:39sporting event.
12:40Oh, wait.
12:41This just in.
12:42We have a special on-the-scene report from our reporter on the field, Phil Tompkins.
12:46Phil, are you there?
12:47Can we get the remote to come in, Phil?
12:48This is Phil Tompkins, live on the scene at Clearwater Mall.
12:52About 30 minutes ago, you would have never known it, but a freak hurricane something
12:56never happened before in the history of Florida came through and completely destroyed the
13:01Clearwater Mall.
13:02As you can see behind me, rubble of shots of what used to be beautiful shopping centers,
13:08places to buy yogurt, fashion clothes, yuppie clothes, you name it.
13:12It was here at Clearwater Mall, and for 30 minutes, just complete and total destruction.
13:18You can see the bulldozers there.
13:19The bulldozers, apparently, they've been searching for rubble and searching for survivors.
13:24Apparently, they're taking a little break right now, but they'll be back on the job.
13:28Body parts everywhere, complete pandemonium.
13:30They've even put a fence up to keep the reporters and onlookers out.
13:34No, no, you have to go back, sir.
13:35No, sir.
13:36Back, back, back.
13:37Okay.
13:38That was such a strange thing.
13:39You can even tell destruction on one side, and it completely left this building all alone.
13:44No destruction at all.
13:46It's just, it's crazy.
13:47We don't know what's...
13:48It's never happened before, and then all of a sudden, 30 minutes later, it's clear.
13:51Uh, Phil, uh, Phil, it wasn't a hurricane, Phil.
13:55It wasn't a hurricane.
13:56This wasn't a hurricane?
13:57A freak hurricane?
13:58Nope.
13:59Was not a hurricane.
14:00They're just knocking...
14:01No?
14:02No, they're just knocking down the mall.
14:03They're just tearing it down for new office buildings?
14:07Well, we're not sure.
14:08We don't know what they're...
14:09But they got...
14:10There's bulldozers.
14:11Right.
14:12That's part of the crew.
14:13And this building?
14:14And they're going to knock that down tomorrow.
14:16They're going to tear that down, too?
14:19Yep.
14:20So this isn't a...
14:21No, no.
14:22I think you're mistaken, Phil.
14:23This is not...
14:24No.
14:25Well, this has been Phil Tompkins live at what was Clearwater Mall.
14:33Back to you.
14:44That was an interesting report from Phil Tompkins.
14:47You know what?
14:48We're going to take a break and hear from our local sponsors, and then we'll be right
14:50back with more MLC news on the MLC Network.
15:13Hi.

15:57My name is Christopher Montone, and this is Mongo Like Candy News Network.
16:01At a religious retreat, a worried traveler got into a theological discussion last week
16:05with one of the retreat's chosen ones.
16:08At some point, he was beaten about the head and neck with a receptacle of liquid.
16:13When questioned, the chosen one replied, what?
16:16The water was blessed.
16:19And finally, in a human interest story, men have been acquiring the ability to coordinate
16:23colors in clothing, giving them the appearance of homosexuality.
16:28Men have been reportedly using this guise to trick women into being their friends.
16:33However, it has been also observed that once the ultimate friendship occurs between men
16:39and women, men lose their interest and end up visiting a lingerie shop looking for stuff
16:45for his girlfriend.
16:46Yeah, sure.
16:47This has been Mongo Like Candy News.
16:49My name is Chris Montone.
