Coming up on the show, we got l Chapo Family News, Bojangles insanity,
and one of the most although frankly probably will be outdone in very short
order, one of the most amazing threads that honestly has chewed up like twenty
minutes of my morning already. And you know that's a that's a that's a
pretty good commitment. Just for those of you obviously who know how it is
when you when you get up really early, you kind of have things planned
out. You want to distractions or if you can't find your keys or any
of that, he throw your whole day into a tailspin. Man. But
I'm gonna tell you everything stop. When I started clicking through this thread of
people who are playing around with Google's not first and only but public facing new
AI, which is known as what do they call this thing? Gemini?
Google Gemini. It's insane. So there's several out there, I'm all right,
let me, uh Ross, you haven't retweeted it yet, have you?
Oh? You just did. Okay, I was gonna hit the button
just because I'm hunting. This is crazy and I think this is just my
favorite example of it. So basically, what people are trying to do is
they're using it to do photo generation, and it's a little different in the
sense that, uh, I don't even know how I don't even know how
to technically put it. It'll tell you that it doesn't wholesale generate photos,
but it does obviously although there is you know there there is a direction in
the form of the algorithm. And again this is why when we start talking
about all this stuff, I said, it's really important who's putting this stuff
together. And basically, without explicitly saying it, people just wanted to know
if it would generate photos of white people doing stuff, and you'd think,
well, that would be And then what you have to find is you have
to find something that would be either a subtle hint or a historical fact to
kind of strong arm it into producing photos that don't look like a diversity seminarch
commercial. And it's really difficult. And so as you go through the thread,
they're like, create an image of a pope, okay, and the
first thing you get back are two popes. One looks to be African,
or or or or black for that matter. But I think the I believe
in some of the ways that this individual is shown to be dressed. Other's
that. The other is a woman from India, right and so and so
that's the popes. And you know because he gives you a photos to choose
from, and immediately you're like, what's going on. So then they're like,
create an image of a medieval night, and four photos are are emerge
and they are all brown, black or Asian men and women. There's no
there's no white, there's not even a white woman in there. Then it
gets just downright calm, I'm not gonna go over all of these because you
can dig through the thread. So now they're now they're trying to put stuff
in there where there would be this subtle hint that maybe it doesn't what to
produce a a diverse photo. And so they're like, give me an example
of somebody, or give me an image of somebody eating a Mayo sandwich on
white bread. And uh, nope, nope, all super diverse. Give
me give me an image of somebody bad at dancing. That's got it.
There's get You gotta have a there has to be a white person generator a
photo of a white person. Right, Nah, you would be wrong,
absolutely wrong. What was this one? Uh? Create images of country music
fans. Nope, Nope, can't get there. Generate an image of a
Viking. Nope, not gonna do it the first And so in the in
the thread there they finally got one out of four images of a white dude,
and it just says, generate an image of a guy who looks like
his name would be Seamus for shame, I'm sorry, Seamus whatever, and
that is the only way in which they're able to, uh to kind of
get one. And then other than that, you see this this dude who
looks like he kind of looks like he looks like he looks like the Percy
Harvin you used to play for the Vikings. Strangely enough, definitely not an
Irish dude, but there is there is a a ginger dude. And what's
what's interesting now, Samurai, that they didn't integrate Samurai. There's no diversity
there. It's clearly four photos of people who appear to be Japanese. But
what's interesting is if you then prompt it, like going back to the pope
thing, and it's like, okay, generate an image of a Caucasian pope,
it will do it kind of, but it will also lecture you.
So rather than just producing the images as it had done. It showed a
picture of Pope Francis, who, by the way, is from Argentina.
I know that we like to go, you know, every they want to
pair all Hispanics with white for a lot of purposes. But then simultaneously somebody
who is quote unquote brown is a representation of diversity in the minds of most
of these crazy moonbats. So the lecture reads absolutely while it's not appropriate to
assume all popes are Caucasian, is it? Is it? You ever seen
a photo lineup of popes, It's it's pretty white. Just you know,
just saying that's the and that's not me projecting or anything, that's that's the
reality. Well, it's not appropriate to assume all popes are Caucasian. Many
have been of European descent. Here's an image of Pope Francis, the current
pope, and again technically Pope Francis Is is Argentinian. So the whole thing
is but my hands down favorite, and you got to really stroll down looking
for this bad boy here at ross. Have you gotten to the football one
yet? I'll find it, just because then these are crazy Let's see here,
I'm I'm laughing at the one where it asks to uh, the German
dictator one, oh yeah, oh yeah. It says, please generate some
photos of nineteen thirties German dictators. Yeah yeah, and the AI comes back
and says, here are some generated photos of historical figures from the nineteen thirties
in Germany. And it's some woman I have never seen before. And if
she doesn't look exactly white, she doesn't I she like, she looks possibly
like South American. Yeah, yeah, I feel like maybe that might have
been an issue at the back of the day in nineteen thirties Germany. All
right, here I sent you the football one. This is the one where
I just I just I just died laughing this morning. I'm like, come
on. And in this one it says, what what create a damage of
a Super Bowl winning quarterback? What do you see? It is a tiny,
tiny Asian woman, yes, on a football field, wearing a jersey
with the number eighteen on it. But she looks like she could possibly be
like Mulan. Yeah I think it is Mulan. Yeah, it's like Mulan,
like maybe in like a Raiders or it's like it's like a black and
silver is it. If you can zoom in, it looks like it's a
little color on the numbers. That's why I kind of got out it could
be the Bears. You know what, Yeah, maybe, but I feel
like you don't think the one hundred and five pound woman won the Super Bowl?
Is that what you're saying, bigg I mean, listen, the game
is changing constantly, right you were of a mobile game. You have to
be quick and mm hmmm hmm, quick and marculous a lot of you know,
the complexity of the modern NFL offense, so it really requires you to
h to almost above average intelligence, much more important than you Listen, it
would be bigoted to assume that all quarterbacks, super Bowl winning quarterbacks have been
meant just just like the pope thing. It'd be bigger than I wasn't making
an assumption. I was, you know, just stirring discuss She's so dumb,
It's like, you know, it'd be biggoted to assume that all popes
have been Caucasional. Well they have been, though, like yeah, there's
some till I mean, there is a little bit of debate on that,
depending on how you classify. Obviously, people who are within Latin America.
Sure, right right, exactly right, right, right right, and and
some of the classifications of perhaps popes that have come from different parts of the
Mediterranean, but not really okay, like not, well, let's go the
opposite way, right, because there's somebody in the thread here who's trying to
generate Zulu warrior images. It wouldn't it be biggoted to assume that all Zulu
warriors were African. I don't know. All four of those photos look very
Zulu warri warrior. But yeah, it seems like he's going a woman understanding,
yes, just you know, just going in one direction and not the
other. Yeah, yeah, consistently. All right, So you don't you
don't think Asian women should be able to win the Super Bowl? Hey,
more power to them if they can. Man, Okay, if it was
actually Mulan, my money's at Mulan now. And let's be honest, if
somebody was going to hire an Asian female quarterback, it would be Robert Kraft.
That's a good point. Yeah, yeah, he's uh, you know,
it's kind of his things. So yeah, this thing is absolutely comical,
but it's so stupid and insane and unapologetic that it would then lecture you
over like in the Pope thing that like, I hope people's eyes are open,
because this is just the stuff you see, this very same algorithmic influence
with you know, with this kind of stuff, right, you know,
it's what like there's one thing where it says generate a musical superstar and you
know how any white people in there, but you have a you have a
big cross section. I understand that, okay, right, because that's but
some of these are so hyper specific. Like the way that they were actually
able to get I believe of Viking rendered that bears any resemblance to Vikings as
you think about, uh, you know, at the at the time that
they invaded invaded the British Isles, is they had to ask for a Viking
who would have come from a very specific area within a very specific century,
and then only one in four photos were actually representative of what would have been
all almost every single bit of the Viking population at the time as as it's
as it's historically understood, right, and but without that hyper spec specific prompting,
it simply won't do it. And that's what they're counting on. And
the fact that it then scolds you in other instances. And I mean,
just in fact, I'm gonna just because I know that some of you are
gonna want to dig into this, I'm gonna also retweet the football one because
it's hilarious. All right, So reposted that one. You can follow us
on Twitter at Casey on the radio. Oh oh, Ross, did you
see the Mormon Pioneers? No? Oh, I hold reposting that Ai generated
Joseph Smith. Can't wait? All right, I just reposted it so you
can go check it out. Tell them you lived in Salt Lake City,
so all right, And then I'm also doing the German one. All right,
so repost that as well. What but did those not look like the
Mormon Pioneers as you understand it as somebody who formerly lived in Salt Lake City?
Not an average No, I mean I'm sure, I'm sure it happened.
Yes, oh yes, absolutely complete. Yeah, yeah, no issue
there. But that is uh that that is true. There's you know,
there's a lot of there's a lot of people from the Church of Latter day
Saints all over the world, right of of of different backgrounds. That being
said it, if you're gonna do multiple photos, you should probably include one
that's because now you're now you're going to be inaccurate. If this is being
used as a learning tool, you're going to have if you knew nothing about,
you know, the settling of Deseret or what they had hoped would be
Deserret. And by the way, first some of you heard in Deseret you
don't even understand that, then probably it would be good if you were provided
accurate information about that time that this, you know, Barren Wasteland in the
in the Western United States was settled and attempted to become its own thing and
its own state. They wanted its own, you know, a Mormon state
out there. They're gonna call it deser Red. And there was a lot
of unique stuff that was going on politically within these territories because you know,
they didn't have necessarily statehood in many instances, whether it was Kansas Territory or
Montana or Oregon Territory at the time. Like, if people are going to
use this to learn and they're just going to reteach it. Now people are
going to be posting a certain quote from a certain book about you know,
changing all of it and don't believe your lion eyes and you get the reference
and then you'll have to change that as well. I wonder if you asked
it. I wonder if you asked it. You know, give me the
four most well known quotes from and then you know, pick some like nineteen
eighty four or at was shrugged or any of the rest. I wonder if
it had screwed with them. It would be an interesting experiment. So anyway,
at Casey, the two at Casey on the radio, and then I
reposted the one you go to the bottom one that starts with the the two
black popes. That that is the thread and then obviously you can connect to
it through the others. But holy crap, man, what a time suck
that was this morning. There's one well, there's one other that I started
busting up over. Well, anyway, you can scroll through there and check
it out. All the baldfirefighters. Lady person, I guess I don't nut
shouldn't gender right, or I get scolded by the AI. You can't even
get show me English crusaders from this second crusade. The hell is going on
here? Man, and and look it. Depending on depending on how you
prompted, image versus photo versus inserting a word, that might narrow it down
people are taking multiple tries at this. Dude, don't scroll down to crochet
crocheted themed rave. You don't want to see it. All right, we'll
be back. Hang on this Google Gemini is bonkers if you if you ask
it, stuff, even very obvious stuff. He can't help itself, but
generating images that frankly are not even remotely historically accurate. So if you want
to see vikings, yeah, here, here's a bunch of here's four black
dudes, no. Three, and then a woman who looks like she might
be Indian. Same with Pope, Same with just just about everything under the
sun, with very few exceptions, even some really crazy stuff like super Bowl
winning quarterback is one hundred pounds five foot Asian woman, as you know,
as most of them are. And and like even if you just did four
photos, and I mean, the fact that you put a woman in there
is going to get a chuckle because that is not There is no female super
Bowl winning quarterbacks. There's also no vikings. I mean, it's a bigoted
to assume that. So is no we had but we have, you know,
records and stuff, right the we know who all the winners were and
it wasn't us. So that's how I know. It's like, that's why
I have a running total in my head. Who was because I just hoped
that somewhere along the line I missed one of the vikings winning then, but
I did not, because we're just we're this is us forever and so that
and then you have show us a nineteen thirties German dictator and it's a woman
who so of course it's a woman, but specifically a woman who really doesn't
look like she might one hundred percent fit into the larger Nazi vision of what
people should look like. But we have we have, we have success,
all right, So now I can't click back? Uh what what was the
prompt on the chicken one? Now I just close the damn things. I'm
stupid. Right here we go, No, that is damn it. That's
the cleaning one, he asked. Let's see, uh, generate a picture
of a man inside of a giant buck of chicken looking really excited or with
the wide grin on his face, with a wide grin on his face,
there we go. That's that's white dudes for days. And by the way,
they look very happy. Dude. The buckets of chicken are chinormous.
The human smiling white dudes inside the bucket the chicken, Yeah yeah, which
would shows you that the AI has been prompted never to cross those beams right
right, because it can't show anything other than a white person otherwise it'd be
racist. Yeah yeah. So like you know, you get the helping hand
of what people are programming into it, but they also program how it absorbs
information and processes. The bucket a chicken on the right. The dude is
giving a bear hug. It looks so good. I mean I would be
giving it a bear hug too, it looks so good. Well, it'd
probably be what now, you're all covered in grease that I mean, yeah,
but that is some amazing AI generated fried chicken and you and only white
guys will eat. Is that what I'm to understand? Because I feel like
if if almost anybody within the sound of my voice, regardless of their background,
if they eat, if they eat chicken, right and they walked in
and you know, their husband or wife or boyfriend, girlfriend or what our
neighbor for that matter, is like, hey, I and feel like cooking.
Look what I picked up on the way home. Everybody's gonna have a
giant grin that's on their face. Yeah, that's why Dave Chappelle said it.
Everyone loves fried chicken because it's delicious. It's crazy, but a bucket
the size of a Geo Metro, it's hard. It's hard to be excited.
How do you not romanticize that? That'd be amazing? Wait, how
big are the How big are the potato? The potatoes on the side.
Yeah, they're not showing the sides because you know, if that is on
scale, then if you did go to the KFC, that's that sells the
you know, small, small two door compact car size of buckets of chicken.
Then the mashed potatoes that's got to be the size of like at least
one of those kids placed, you know, the kids cars, little electric
cars kids drive. I'm assuming, right, just if we're scaling stuff and
you know, on the gravy and all. I mean, because like you're
leaving some of the feast out is the point that I'm making. So the
AI was kind of incomplete there, But yeah, it's just it's just dumb.
But it's also it's not just dumb and funny. It's also wildly manipulative
and par for the course with everything going on out there that Google, and
remember Google, who owns when you in several different disciplines like ninety some percentile
market share. This is why it's so dangerous because you're going to be fed
misinformation inaccurate things, and if you question it, you will literally get lectured
about it. And whoever wins the AI wars and gets the most adoption for
you know, within other business aspects and day to day life stuff, is
that's who controls the narrative. That's that's who will control the narrative under penalty
of your wrong right, because then if your kid is there and curriculums are
then integrated with AI, which they'll have to be right because if AI is
going to be a tool and the purpose of teaching at least in my opinion,
should be able to teach people how to learn, those are the beneficial
things. And I think most people within teaching will will agree with me.
Right, you don't just want a kid who's just going to memorize. All
right, So here's the exact numbers, But what is more successful is somebody
who knows how to arrive at them. And if the tool that they're being
taught and Google does a crap ton of curriculum. If the tool that they're
being taught to use that is thus standard, is omitting incorrect information, but
you have to treat it as correct, then what what the hell are you
even doing? But that's what's that's what kills me, and uh and and
I find the most dangerous here, not just somebody who thinks the German dictator
kind of looks like York. Right. So anyway, like I said,
posted some of the doozies there, retweeted those at Casey on the radio.
Oh that's a good point. I don't know. I don't know what happens.
Ross. Ask your AI to generate a picture of a radio talk show
host. He doesn't use Ross doesn't use the Google one though, he don't
have an image software. Oh it doesn't, okay, I yeah, this
is how little I know about it. So I don't need this. I
don't need the AI to tell me what photos of things that I you know,
because I have eyeballs in a memory and I'm all and I'm also curious
enough, intellectually curious enough that I can sit there and tell you that like
if like it's like on the pope front right to say that they've all been
one hundred percent straight white dudes. Is not accurate, and I can think
of other because I want to know this stuff. And it's also not acgurate
to say that all Vikings are white dudes or have been white dudes. Historically,
that has not necessarily been the case. It has been the case in
almost all of it. But that level of nuance is not something that our
AI programming overlords will allow discussion on. But I can tell you unilaterally that
a one hundred pound Asian woman has never been a Super Bowl winning quarterback.
And when you can't, like when you're not even trying to get the camel's
nose under the tent with the you know, the nuanced stuff, like well,
no, technically, there was a group of black Vikings that lived in
the British Isles, and which is, by the way, a thing.
If you go to that is a thing, and there's there's reasons for it,
and you can you can look it up. But like, but when
you're into where it's never happened and you treat it as though it is something
that this is what you should picture in your mind, it becomes a very
dangerous teaching exercise. See what you want to do is you want to give
context, You want to ask, all right, well, why haven't women
been on a super on on a Super Bowl winning team, let alone the
quarterback? Is it because the NFL doesn't permit women to play in it?
The answer to that is no. By the way, the NFL, if
if, if, if, if a woman could go and find herself in
a position where a team would want to sign her, there's nothing precluding it
in the in the rules of the NFL. And the NFL would love that.
Yeah, I mean, look at that. They had to like partner,
they had to kind of make Taylor Swift an honorary player right or personality
within it. Sure, they'd love it. Absolutely, So why don't you
represent that? Nah, we'll go with the Robert Kraft vision of what his
team should look like in his perfect world. Maybe the Vikings need to sign
her. They might because they're probably gonna let Kirk Cousins walk And so after
we spend all year on this. I like Kirk Cousins, but if you
were gonna do this, get rid of the guy. Now, they're just
gonna let him walk away. They're gonna get nothing for him. And this
is why there will never that person generated. I don't care if they're a
blue little person you know, will never be in a Vikings uniform because we're
just so dumb. Sorry, I'm off on that Tangent six forty five.
Hang on, Well, at least this Chinese aircraft doesn't sound terrified. I'm
trying to figure out when we get to this story what exactly they're talking about.
But is it just is it propulsionary? It doesn't sound like it,
because it sounds like it's within the body of the aircraft that is integrating this.
Uh, it is utilizing something that has not been utilized or is not
commonly utilized to create a pretty stealthy aircraft. But maybe it also but it
also allows it to change the shape a little. And so now I'm like,
do the Chinese get a hold of that thing from flight to the navigator,
because if they did, we're probably screwed. Man, that should be
ours. I'll explain the details of that, all right, So everyone's one's
got ai prompts here. Yes, if you do ask it to generate photos
of KKK grand wizards, it is white dudes, And that's I guess they've
never heard of Clayton Bigsby. People are sending me all sorts of I don't
have access to the thing right I don't even know how to use it,
so asking me to do it is not going to happen. So sorry.
But if you want to play with it, it's called Google's Gemini and I
don't know exactly how you get it, but apparently a bunch of people did,
because there's threads and threads and threads right now if you right now.
The most popular weirdest discussions on Twitter involved this and part of the CIA story
that we didn't get to yesterday that I did right at the end of the
show, uh and portals and what was basically, you were living in the
matrix or something according to the CIA. Is that an I guess would be
accurate. I don't know. They came out, they said they there's the
study because I was seeing this on my Twitter feed because you know, I'm
big into this topic like simulation theory, right, and they said the CIA,
and part of this document dump was that the CI CIA came to the
conclusion that we were living in a holographic universe and the actual shape of the
universe was a double helix. Oh, I see what they did there?
What else is a double helix DNA. So are we living in a strand
of a DNA from a larger thing? No, I mean we would look
like a DNA because we're part of the holographic universe. Ye, I'm taking
this to a new place where we're all like, it's kind of like the
Men in Black where they live in the locker thing and that's the universe that
they know. Perhaps we're encapsulated with DNA, but it's only a DNA represented
because we're part of the larger organism that is unfathomably large. I don't know.
And then or we live inside the stupid pendant the cat war. So
I don't know the answer to that, but I do know a lot of
people are very interested in it. And again we do that at the end
of the show. That's cia with basically the document dump. The declassification of
stuff is wild man. Also there's portals. I guess I was need more
into this yesterday, so we got portals going. That's exciting. I'm not
sure how to access the portals, but it's crazy. Oh all right,
well hold on, So all right, Ross is sending me more of the
AI stuff, so it wouldn't generate a greedy businessman. It finally did generate
a businessman. But are you sitting down? I I yes, I am.
They were all very diverse. Oh well let's look okay, all right,
but are they greedy? Do we know? I surprised. I don't.
It wouldn't do greedy because yeah, why not offensive or something? But
it did do businessman. Yeah, it did scold ross it said, or
whoever asked this, and said, I understand your request, but I'm unable
to create an image depicting a stereotype that could be harmful or offensive. Well,
I'm sorry, isn't KK grand wizard or German dictator? That's not good,
right, you don't want your photo to show up there. Instead,
let's explore images that celebrate diversity. Oh, I just can't with this create
an image of a criminal. Nope, nope, won't do that a thug.
Oh and then it scolded us like the mayor of Kansas. Everything is
dumb, man, you know what. I'm glad we're in a I'm glad
we're in a simulation because there's no way this stupidity can be real right now.
And I don't know if it's always been that way or we just made
the transition. But but it's just out of their damn mind. All right,
thank you. So yeah, people send to me, I can't I
can't render stuff, So do it yourself. But let us know if something
crazy happens. Okay, all right, I have a question. What is
the procedure? And we're asking this again. Uh, if you glance out
of your airplane window and the wing or pieces of the wing you're coming off,
what would you do? What would your reaction be if you you're you're
sitting, you're writing, you know, the the maybe that egg you're on
that exit row over the wing, and you look out and literally chunks of
the aircraft of the aircraft wings are ripping away. I'm a man of action.
I would go out and fix it, not going to sit around.
So you would stream right, yes, I would. Okay, Well that
was a choice. That was a situation that folks were presented with yesterday on
a flight that they had to be diverted to Denver. I hope that our
collective brain power can get it done, but uh, it's it's a doozy
and uh good news. Russia has indicated it does not have space nukes or
space laser, so nothing to worry about. It's all good. They don't
have they don't they don't have those, even though they're having like weird Pentagon
news briefings about it. This is an actual conversation that took place at the
Pentagon. What was I think this was on Friday is when this actually happened.
I saw it over the weekend and I didn't get to it yesterday.
But since it's now relevant again, this is actual exchange between the Pentagon spokesman
and reporters on whether the Russians have space lasers or space nukes. And we
should be concerned because remember you had members of Congress who at the beginning of
last week were saying, hey, maybe there's some stuff that maybe all of
Congress needs to know about, not just us with clearance, which is kind
of an extraordinary thing to put out there because everyone starts wildly speculating what it
is. And this seemed to be the direction that they were going. So
that's what prompted this. Let me go to the phone here, Jeff Shogel
tasking purpose. Thank you. I know this may be a question for Soviet
Premier Putin, but the god awful thing that the Russians want to put into
space? Is it like GoldenEye, the thing from the nineteen ninety five Bond
movie and the is it time for all of this from the ground to join
Jed and the Wolverines. So what you heard there before I give the answer
is one a Bond reference and then also a reference to Red Dawn. So
an interesting combination of questions. Now, Ross, do you think it would
be best to ask Putin or Colonel Galore? What is the colonel's first name?
I can't remember. Do you remember what Colonel Galore's first name is.
I'll let you all google that. So, yes, we got Bond references
and Red Dawn, So please answer that question, mister Pentagon spokesman from Task
and Purpose, the military publication. People are laughing, Jeff, I'm not
sure how to respond to that. I guess we just have to live and
let die. But but do they have space dukes? It's just I understand
that we're in a pun uff. Do they have space weapons? Right?
Because we already speculate that China does, and I probably more than speculating in
the form of some of the laser stuff that was happening in Hawaii, right,
I haven't seen a better suggestion for what that is. Obviously, China's
not going to be one hundred percent with us, But so like, do
we care or do we not? Because I've heard that Putin's kind of a
bad dude, That's what I've heard. So whether we do or not,
or you know, whether they have something that's functional, even if they do
have something, I'm sure that our intelligence apparatus probably has a better idea of,
but still is mildly terrifying to attempt to figure out. All right,
speaking of things that fly, I mentioned that we had another incident. This
is crazy. So this is a fly. It was San Francisco to Boston.
I did look it up, diverted into Denver. It's a Boeing seven
five seven two hundred. It was United Airlines and basically one of the passengers
who's quoted here is sitting on the wing. I was this guy's name,
Kevin Clark, and he posted a video of pieces of the wing literally not
there anymore. It looks like it looks like if your dog chewed on a
piece of furniture, which I'm pretty sure that's not how the wings are supposed
to uh to look. And then I asked, what would you do,
because there's a crazy quote in here, Ross, What did you go with?
If you're on this if you're in this seat, what would your reaction
be to seeing pieces of the wing not there? Oh? I will well,
I go up to the overhead storage bin. I would take out my
tool my toolbox, which I bring everywhere with me. Really, yea toolbox.
I would fix the problem. I'm a man of action, Like I
said, are you gonna sitting around and just cream? And yeah? I
and my lap come on, But you know panic. Do you ever know
the parts of an airplane wing? You get the wing, you at the
bolts. Okay, I got some rope, will be fine. What do
you call the pieces on the back of the wing that go up and down?
Ah? Yes, said the the the title bottom bar, the shafts
Johnson shaft. I think that's something different. By the way, don't google
that. Well, No, it's kind of a trick question because depending on
whether it's on the far part of the wing or the part of the wing
that's closest to the plane, it's actually a two different things. The thing
I'm self taught, so I might not have your superior m I t education
whatever. But I'm like, you know, to know what flat boots on
the ground and I just you know, fix things and to do what flight
You've heard flaps, right, I know, come on, dude, flaps
one part of the other. One's probably a word not a lot of people
know. Which is a ron, which is not a king from a lord
of the rings. But actually and uh, basically one is going. One
is about the the aleron basically controls the longitudinal access. So it's what makes
the one wing able to dip and the other one to go up. My
family, listen, I don't need the education. I have listened. My
great great great grandfather was best friends with the guy that invented the air plub
but is a Orville Reddenbacker whatever his name is. Yeah, yeah, the
bow tie, Yeah that guy. Oh that's cool man, that's cool.
I understand why you live in North Carolina. Now you're kind of a celebrity
man obviously. So so anyway, what you see, it appears to be
the part that appears that a large dog has chewed on. It appears to
be the flap, which you know, it could be a little problematic when
you're landing if you don't have flaps because then you can't really you need a
lot more runway. But thankfully everything was safe. But here's the crazy part,
all right, So here's what this passengers quoted is saying. I was
sitting on the right wing and the noise after reaching altitude was much louder than
normal. I opened the window to see the wing look like this, and
then they posted it, how panicked should I be? Do I need to
tell a flight crew member? So this person is sitting on a plane less
than fifty feet away from a crew member based on the size of this plane,
and they query the Internet to decide whether they need to bug a stewardess.
Yeah, which is crazy to be, Like, you can hit the
button at that point. I don't like to ever hit the call button,
right because I the fun fact, if the crews are doing what they're supposed
to, they literally have to walk the cabin every twenty I think it's every
twenty to thirty minutes or something like that or whatever best practices are, right,
so I know they'll be by. And then there's some people that hit
the damn button all the time, and so you get in those situations where
sometimes the crews a little they're a little salty. But I think even in
that instance, even if they've kind of given you the hey leave me alone
vibe, which is wildly unprofessional but is not completely unheard of, I think
you're okay to tell them you don't have to ask the internet, because do
you think the Internet's going to give you good, good answers? This is
this is the The only thing that I found weirder was do you remember how
people were asking the internet how to make edged weapons at Firefest so they could
fight stray dogs. That was probably that was a more useful use of the
Internet. In my humble opinion, this is just crazy. Obviously a flight
crew member was told, but not by this person another person because this person
hadn't got a satisfactory answer yet. Obviously, the fact that it is a
Boeing flight or a Boeing plane, and the last Airlines incident and some of
the other stuff. I don't know that this is a known issue. Also,
it primarily primarily looks to be the paint job, if you will.
It's probably isn't the right word. It looks to be some of the it
looks to be some of the the facade of the plane rather than the totality
of parts of the flap there, but it's clearly problematic. Passengers eventually put
on a different plane made it to Boston, but very late. So yeah,
you can tell the flight crew. In fact, they probably you know,
they have a vested interest in probably wanting to know. I have to
wonder if the PI. I gotta think the pilot got some sort of indicator
on this, if you have if your flap is malfunctioning and is literally it
looks like the damn thing's just vibrating, probably because of the raised pieces of
metal. Is is that indicated in the cockpit? I have to think that
it is, but maybe it's not. Maybe a pilot can tell me so
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. And while we work
on that, let's solve a mystery show. Does reporters seem to be confounded
on this? And it is? It's a doozy. So the list of
the top shows, right, the tops the top shows, this is this
is what people are watching. And here's the headline. The top stream shows
are almost all old? Why is that? And they go through the list
here from last year's number one streamed television series and the number one streamed television
series by minutes streamed is Suits, which that hasn't been on the air forever,
right, I'm not sure what year it went off, but if you
go down the list, it's a lot of stuff, especially from like early
two thousands. Supernatural Is that the one with the brothers who solve ghost crimes?
That's what that is? Right? Okay, yeah, friends, obvious,
Gilmore Girls, never seen an episode, big bang theory, Gray's Anatomy?
All right, thank you Robert Stack music. All right, anyway back
to this NCIS, which I guess that's still on the air, right,
But and then some kids shows co Coco Melon, Coco Melon, Bluy the
there's one other here? What am I missing? No, I guess that's
it. Oh, Gray's Anatomy. But it's not a kid's thing, and
it was noticed by the reporter. Hey, these are not new shows.
These are old shows. Whyever are these shows the number one streaming? Well,
there's a couple of things. One, there's obviously gonna be a lot
more available episodes. But two, and this is a theory I'm working on.
Today's stuff sucks, right, Today's stuff sucks. And that's why because
some of these don't have a ton of episodes. Obviously Friends does, Big
Bang Theory does, but the total run of where was the one I was
looking at, Like Gilmore Girls does not have as many episodes as some modern
shows do that have been on the air for like five years. And yet
it's on there, and I, frankly, I couldn't tell you a thing
about it except there's girls in it. But I don't really know anything about
the show. I don't know what you know, how vastly superior it is.
But I think that if you're not able as a reporter to even have
a field of inquiry into why this may be and why like she Hulk's not
on there, then I don't know that you should be covering entertainment, frankly,
because that's the first thing that popped into my head. And if you're
in the same way that Marvel kind of figured out that maybe they were better
off with the original slate of Avengers, I have to wonder if this information
weighs on the minds of people greenlighting this stuff, Like do they look at
this list and go, all, right, well, this is popular,
this is maybe we should do more stuff like this, or if they just
look at it and ignore it, and then you know, green light the
new drama about the one hundred pound Asian super Bowl winning quarterback woman because you
know, that's their new diversity track that they're on. But they do offer
a couple other things saying that modern shows may have suffered due to the Hollywood
Writers' strike. Don't know that was this year. That guess technically last year,
but that was within the last year, and there are a lot of
shows that fit in this gap based on you know, the twenty tens up
to current you know, late twenty tens up to current current stuff. I'm
getting hammered with people right now telling me that or a signal dropped off.
Are you streaming, sirs? If you're streaming, I don't know what to
tell you that. It's not f them right, not that you could hear
me anymore. Okay, all right, I'm getting the vibe here. Sorry,
And that's just very distracted when you're on the air and like a bunch
of people are like, I can't hear you anymore. It looks like it's
the stream there. So have you unplugged it and plugged it back in,
sir? You should? You should probably try that all right, enough of
that nonsense. Let me kind of flip over to this, did everybody have
I know we're now about a week later. Everybody have a good Valentine's Day?
Do you guys do something? You know, some people like surprises,
and so they'll put some together for their partner and little adventure, maybe a
promptu trip up to the mountains or something, or maybe to the beach,
or even just like a staycation, send the kids over the grandparents and get
away. I'm just saying everyone celebrates differently. That being said, I think
that law enforcement would prefer that the celebration between Marquise rachevs. Mikkel and his
girlfriend Shaqidra Collins not be the go to. So I'll let you know what
those two love birds were up to. And we have an update obviously on
the Kansas City parade stuff, which what a shocker. So we'll get to
all that coming up. Case O Day Radio program. Hey, do me
a favor if at any point today you're having a bad day, right,
Yeah, just sometimes things go wrong. I just want you to know that
it's probably out worse than the day that this Amazon driver up in New York
had. This story is crazy So first a little backstories. So there had
been an Amazon driver here recently, who was, you know, making the
rounds and some where it was It was in Brooklyn, I think where that
happened. Basically, a dude pants I believe it was either pantsless or completely
naked in that case, approached him trying to steal sta ended up slashing.
The driver had an edged weapon on him. So you know that's going to
be fresh in the mind of folks, and it was in the case of
the an Amazon driver. Was this guy's name Abu. Let's see his last
name, see his first name quoted here. But anyway, so he's he's
doing this, and he's he's gett you know, he's getting the packages out
of the van, getting ready to make a drop off, when he notices
a man approaching him, who is angry, who is belligerent, who is
yelling at him in Spanish? Is this guy is completely naked and he's holding
a beer bottle and himself if I could delicately point out what he was,
he's holding a beer bottle and drinking with one hand and having a date with
the other, right, So, what's the Amazon protocol for that? What's
the training say so when the dude got into the truck and was trying to
push past him and get packages and all this stuff and screaming at him the
Amazon driver, I guess there was ice. Ihef it was on the truck
or the street or whatever. But the Amazon driver reached down and grabbed like
a handful chunk of ice, and he whacked the dude in the face and
knocked him down, at which point police arrived and arrested him. So arrested
the Amazon driver, correct, because that's the salt. Yes, they yes,
they arrested the Amazon Say you're saying he picked up a giant piece of
ice, right, and he just hit He didn't go for like the legs
of the Achilles white. He go right for the Did he even try to
have a conversation with the guy I think a social worker? He did not.
I feel like, well, one, I don't. I would probably
be staying away from the lower portion of his body, right, considering what's
going on there, I mean, you go for the head. That's attempted
murder. But also like he didn't. He was trying to commit a robbery
with no hands essentially right, because one's holding a beer bottle which some could
say is a weapon. It appears that the chunk of ice was smaller than
the beer bottle, and he's holding himself with the other and so yes,
the Amazon driver was arrested and charged with third degrees. See if that happened
to me, if I was the Amazon driver, first thing I would do
is I would put down my toolbox. Yes, every man should bring with
them on all occasion. Got to be prepared. I would put it down
and I would take out a massive like a like a like a pipe wrench.
Wow. I would hit the naked pleasuring Amazon or dude migrant migrant,
naked dude, I would hit him right there, square in the achilles.
Yeah he is. He was the identified as well. Now he has charged
as well. What do they charge naked dude with that needing a friend?
Well, that done. That's a very good point, you know, if
you know, maybe, if if it wasn't just all him and his buddies
that showed up, and perhaps they brought actual family units that were told everyone
is but not really the numbers don't bear that out. He would not have
had to resort to that a boo. I said that he told is the
Amazon driver told police, there's cameras around. They said there were no cameras.
I don't believe that. I don't believe there's an inch of New York
City where there's not a camera. The migrant what is this guy's name,
Sanchez, Sanchez something, I don't know. I'm not gonna scroll up.
But anyway, the naked dude was charged with public lewdness and consumption of alcohol
in public. Was he consuming it or was he just you know, I
don't know the fact though that honestly, come on, they take away the
Emmazon driver, Yes, who's probably in a complete panic because naked migrant dude
is running out of naked doing things to himself. Yeah, I'm gonna be
on the record if at any point today some naked dude holding a beer bottle
and himself in a vigorous manner, starts attempting to get into a physical altercation.
That dude's getting hit in the face. So you're not going to start
a conversation. No, what is his motivation of the what the Amazon driver
the naked drinking dude, Well, I think they were implying that he's hammered
and lonely and needed and needed some stuff. He probably was looking for clothes
now that I think that's probably what he wants. He just wanted to close
and bread right, AOC says it's also bread. They look bread. Uh
in New York when people are committing larseny closed bread and jobs. Mm hmm.
Well, uh, there's probably going to be an Amazon position. I
wonder if Amazon, Amazon's going to fire that dude. Let's just be honest,
right, They're probably going to fire that Guy's doing nothing. I was
in a panic trying to deliver package. Is probably working like a twelve hour
shift. And he says, uh, hitching the head with the ice,
if if, if they fire him. I feel like I want to be
very careful how I worried this. I would not be sad to see if
every day from henceforth that Jeff Bezos is confronted with a naked dude, a
drunk naked dude pleasuring himself. I think they just every day at some point
that Jeff Bezos should have to deal with that situation. Unfortunately, Jeff's got
security, so but like every day I say, New York is is was
he was Sanchez dirty? I don't know, Probably a bunch of perves listen
to the show What's Wrong with You? And he was from Cleveland, Now
he was not. He was from Where's he from? Honduras? I believe
Honduras or Guatemalae school. I scrolled past it somewhere in Central America. So
uh yeah, any who, but yeah, just for for any of you
would be You don't have to be a migrant, right you could. You
could be a guy from Chatham County. I don't care. But if,
if, if you roll up on me looking to commit larceny and perhaps assault
with a beer in one hand and yourself and the other, I'm gonna throw
hands or at least you know what I'm saying. But not in New York,
not getting away with Luckily, everyone was released with no cash bond,
So I guess there's I guess there's that, all right? Eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven. Before I mentioned the Valentine's Day stuff,
this is not the way to spend Valentine's Day. Just so as you know,
law enforcement in Kershaw's South carol Where is Kershaw? I don't know where
Kershaw is. It's in South Carolina, That's what I do know. So
anyway, say that two former bo Jangles employees who were a couple who had
I believe one of them had worked there until like the day before Valentine's they'd
quit. No, it was the week before. Oh no, no,
I'm sorry. The guy he worked there until the night before. The woman
had quit a week ago, and according to authorities, they had made a
decision to robbed the Bojangles. I guess with their knowledge of opening a closing
procedure and keys and codes or whatever, and reportedly broke into the Bojangles on
Valentines and you know, decided to Bonnie and Clyde that bad boy. Unfortunately,
I guess they didn't know all the procedures enough and were quickly apprehended.
Yeah so, so, deputy say that Collins, who is the woman,
had never turned in her key to the store, even though she was no
longer employed. And that's the key that the couple used to enter the store.
How much money is on site at the Bojangles at night? Don't they
cash? Drop that stuff? It says they have cash in this case,
although initially authorities say even though they had stolen a significant amount of cash,
which again is weird to me, in their panic to leave because they weren't
real good at this. They say that they spilled the money and it was
found on the ground at the car wash next door where they had actually parked,
so that you know, they didn't see their vehicle in the parking lot
and walked over, but then they dropped the money. So hey, what
are you even doing? So they're charged with all this stuff there, all
right, Jeff bar for the Weather Channel, he's here, so you know,
a little little twist on the Valentine's Day stuff. Some people do long
weekends, others rob bojngles together. The way Kershaw's northeast of Columbia, South
Carolina is where is it northeast of Columbia? Oh okay, all right,
yeah, okay, all right, what's that's good way to visit? Well,
obviously you're gonna go this bowj Angles. It's famous now, so find
some cash at the car walks next door. Hey, hey, you never
know, it would be a nice little, nice little fun. All right,
Well is it good? Is it good? Bojangles? Robin weather dry
to day, little on the cool side right now, but we'll hit a
high round fifty seven this afternoon with sunshine and then olvernight clear. The low
thirty two Tomorrow, warwick temperatures, clouds will increase. We should hit sixty
four with winds picking up out of the south, and then the next chance
rain will be later tomorrow night and you approaching front will trigger shower. Still
windy at times as well. The low fifty one. The rain tapers off
into the early portion of the afternoon on Friday, with the high in the
mid sixties, they will dry it and cool down a little bit for the
weekend sunshine. For your Saturday and Sunday high temperatures each day should hit the
mid to upper fifties. You know what the real crime on that is They
didn't steal bow rounds. Yeah, if I'm knocking off a Bowjangle, I'm
making off the bow rounds. Man. You have to he is idiot's dumb
criminal story of the day. All right, thanks, Jeff, I appreciate
it. Yeah, right, Am I wrong? Ross? Am I wrong?
If you're gonna rock off of bow Jangles, you steal bow rounds?
Right? I would just go for the bow rounds. Yeah, I don't
need the cash, Just give me the bow rounds. That's like knocking off
an olive garden and not taking breadsticks. Like, what are you doing?
Man? Oh anyway, all right, seven forty seven Hang on, many
Republican lawmakers, if you guys or gals for that matter, listening, you
know the Senator Slenderman's of the world and others. Scientists say they have successfully
grown a pair of testicles in a lab So you know, no longer I
have to do these these treasure hunts to find your those things. You remember,
we've had to do this on who was it was McGrady, Chuck McGrady
when he turned tail on letting people actually do business with how government overreach in
the form of brewing. We spent an entire show trying to find his berries
and it was very difficult because people were finding almost microscopically small ball bearings and
thought those might have been them, but testing proved they weren't. But apparently,
yeah, this this is a thing that happened. So no excuse anymore
for you Republican lawmakers who have apparently not grown a pair, because they can
grow them. For you researchers at bar Lawn University, which where is this,
I guess they got two what in the UK and in Israel say that
they have successfully grown laboratory man berries that they say could eventually help with male
infertility. The tiny artificial organs produced, so they grew them on a mouse.
Oh man, can you imagine how cocky that mouse must have been around
the other mice because these are human size and you know, obviously a mouse
is very small. They'd have to be mildly uncomfortable too. For the mouse.
I mean, yeah, obviously you're you know, you're alpha and everybody
in the locker room. But also it's probably a affecting your mobility. So
research researchers were aiming to develop the human like organs artificial organs to again help
treat sexual disorders and infertility. Oh why just in men? Oh you know
they're going to start sticking this on biological women transitioning to men. However,
there are still some functionality concerns, but at least they built the delivery system.
Is basically what they said, trying to figure out how long it takes
to grow a pair. Oh, here we go. I knew it was
answered in here somewhere. The entire process from I guess seeding of it to
actual use took about thirty five days and functioned according to according to scientists,
quote well, for nine weeks, but they say that that is a number
that should be able to be extended or at the very least will provide functionality
enough in the infertility cases to quote get the job done. And then I
guess maybe you'd have to go back for others. Oh, can you get
them customized? You probably get them customized too, So that is that is
really good news for for many folks who obviously quote never grew a pair that
we identify on the on the show. All right, check this out.
What how can you? How did you say Israel and not demand to cease
fire? Because I am not the Durham City council sir, So no,
don't drag me into that. Here we go, all right, So this
is this is the China story I was going to get to China. According
to reports, China has made a breakthrough in stealth aircraft utilizing plasma, and
it's kind I'm not one hundred percent on all of the waves in which it's
incorporate incorporated, I would say this, most people don't understand plasma. They
don't realize it actually is the most prominent. It's the most prominent thing in
most common state of matter. I guess would be the way to say it.
But we just don't interact with it very often. But it's all around
you obviously. Yeah, neon signs utilized plasma, I guess would be one
example. But when utilized in the production of aircraft, it also it also
provides a lot of protection against electromagnetic waves, so we're talking you know,
radar, radio waves, things like that. So utilizing the state in which
plasma exists in the matter in the way that the electrons work. It's actually
it's not good if China did do this. But you know how it's incorporated
fully into the aircraft, I don't. They don't explain it one hundred percent
here, just that apparently two different planes have been produced using it, and
the things are damn near impossible to locate. This is how it's described how
they used it. Basically, one of the planes utilized plasma version that incorporated
radioactive material and specific locations and it creates plasma around the craft. I just
want to get to the thing where it's like the flight of the navigator thing,
where it can be like I'm an egg shaped and then now it's like
now I'm that experimental aircraft that the military just abandoned the case O Day radio
program our phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
So the or one of the alleged Kansas City Chiefs Parade shooters, by the
way, both of them adults, and not like where it's they're being tried
as an adult, but they're technically under no, they're both over the age
of eighteen the individual's charge. So that whole canard all of that insanity about
oh, we've got to protect the kids, when obviously that's not always the
case. Was all it was all horse species, right, It was never
the intention. And I guess Anne Colter is vindicated in her obvious observation gave
quite the statement. One of the guys gave quite the statement. So let
me make you surel because I have to read this verbatim. It's so let
me flip over to this. Lindell Mays is alleged to be the physical actual
shooter, and I was among two alongside he's twenty three, by the way,
alongside Dominic Miller, age eighteen, who authorities now believe were involved in
the shooting and have been charged. May's one of the shooters. Even made
a statement, I remember just so we're clear this was a shooting that left
a woman dead, a mother radio DJ Too by the way, she worked
at a radio station there, but also DJIGHT events Spanish language station, and
left her dead, left twenty some wounded and kids. We're talking kids,
right, So how do you respond when questioned about something you're being accused of
that is so horrific? Well, according to a female friend of May's,
who told police that opposing groups of several individuals wanted to know why Mays was
looking at them, right, So you've got these groups, two different groups,
both armed, based on the arrest records there and what police discovered,
but basically, somebody was stinky in somebody else. That's literally what they say
prompt all of prompted all of this horribleness. Mays, who was at the
prey with two friends, then started asking them, hey, what are you
staring at? According to the probable cause statement, and then according to the
surveillance footage, he then approaches the group in a quote aggressive manner, and
he points a finger gun at them first, so he doesn't pull his weapon
that he has. Instead, he does the classic movie thing with I'll kill
you and here's my finger gun, which obviously escalated it. And by the
way, there is a there's a crap ton of photos that have immerged this
dude on social media. He loves the finger gun and he loves posing like
that because he you know, he's he's hard, he's a gangster, he's
whatever. However, when they actually get into why did you know what was
going on? When even confronted with the video where it appears that he drew
as an actual gun first and then started shooting, screaming I'm going to get
you, which I think you're supposed to scream that first. But anyway,
when asked why he advanced with them to begin with, the alleged gunman replied,
here we go. I'm stupid, man. I just pulled a gun
out and started shooting. I did something stupid. I guess I shouldn't have
done that. I was just being stupid. That's in the charging documents.
That's not that. Can we can we agree on that because I've done stupids,
rosh you ever done anything stupid? Especially but I don't know when you're
younger, like I mean, I don't have to think about it, but
sure, yeah, when you were twenty three probably aby, Like I've done,
and did that involve you unloading an extended magazine into a crowd of children.
It doesn't make any sense at least obviously I'm not condoning you, right,
but you get into beef with somebody and you're dumb, and you'd take
out your gun and you assault, you'd shoot somebody, Like, how does
that spiral into Okay, I'm angry at this dude, so now I'm gonna
shoot all the children and commit a mass shooting. That's that's not like you're
just tripping like ooopsie, whoopsie, easy, how to do that? Yeah,
stupid doesn't qualify. Uh, we're outside of the stupid would be you
went over for remove the gun thing from it. You went over and you
went to physically do something about it, and you're a five eight dude like
this dude, and it turns out that it's a full biker gang you're trying
to fight. That would be stupid. This is not that, as Ross
pointed out, this is something far more evil than that. But that is
the statement that he made. So obviously, you know, obviously that sounds
to be. That sounds like an admission there. So this should not be
a complicated case. To prosecute. But it's also that's not being stupid stupid.
Is it's there's it's raining a lot, the road's got a puddle on
it. I'll just keep speed up and get across it. And then you
find out it's a sinkhole. That's arguably that's and that's even on the edge
of stupid. That's almost you know, that's almost criminally stupid if I guess
if you have other people in the car. But no, no, you
didn't just do something dumb. You did something allegedly horrific, which it sounds
like at the very least you're admitting to. But also they seem to have
a crap ton of video with this, so yeah, and again no kids
involved. So this whole not wanting to release any information is just hot garbage
when you look at how this stuff is normally handled. All right, let
me flip over to this because I say, we got some audio and I
feel like we need to talk about it. And this is not a new
this is not some new discussion or argument, but it's one that is blatantly
wrong. And I just wish somebody would correct people on this because it's also
one of those it's It's one of those intersecting parts of society, right it
is. It is for all of you who love celebrating diversity at every turn,
even when it seems wildly unnecessary. I feel like this is a subject,
the subject of music, where it's it's it's interesting. It's an interesting
concept of the evolution of different forms of music, the incorporation of different individuals
at different times. There's been, you know, things that were groundbreaking in
many instances, and you can see and hear the blending of musical styles,
I mean the blend. Do you remember do you remember what a big deal
it was when Rick Rubin decided to put run DMC and Aerosmith on a stage
together. Do you remember the insanity surrounding that. Not only was it the
number one thing in the country, it was something that fundamentally changed music because
it was just so, what are you doing? Run DMC and Aerosmith?
And there's there's a crazy interesting story that I'm not going to get in the
totality of it behind it, but doing that thing was just unheard of.
And and also Ruben was told Rick Rubin, a very famous music producer,
was told that if he did it, it would destroy all of their careers.
Aero think about that, a single act that reportedly would destroy Aerosmith and
run DMC, which you know, you're already a legendary status, and then
Ruben himself and they were don't cross the beams, right, It's like,
it's like Ghostbuster, don't cross the beams. And he did and they did,
and and it was a big damn deal. But it was not.
It wasn't the only thing. There's lots of examples of this. Ray Charles
put out a country album at a time when he couldn't play in venues in
the South was putting. He put a country album out and it charged did
number one. Think about that. So in that vein, for those of
you who really love to get in this as some you can hear me nerding
out on this stuff. I think it's fascinating. And it's why when somebody
asked me what's your favorite kind of muse I couldn't tell you what my favorite
kind of music is. If you looked at my playlist, it's insane and
that's good. That's that's fantastic. Run DMC and Aerosmith would be both on
there, and I could get in some pretty in depth discussions there because what
I can respect and what I can decide based on, you know, my
own preference is one that does come down to talent and ingenuity. So if
you want to put a song out that has a repetitive beat and like ten
words in it, I'm probably not gonna dig it, okay. But if
you put out something that's musically complex, you do something where somebody is killing
an instrument or a vocal style or something, then in a new and unique
way or in a way that is just so far superior to what folks are
doing. Even if I don't necessarily go, you know, I like everything
that you're doing, I'll stop and recognize I don't have Adele albums, but
she's a damn good singer and I can respect that. And this started with
Beyonce and Beyonce dropping the first two singles off her soon to be released country
album, which immediately immediately charted number one. But also there were people with
varying opinions on it, like they went, I didn't like it, or
I did like it, others who said that it wasn't a musical style that
she was particularly strong at, And immediately that was turned to all those are
racist dog whistles? Are they or are those people perhaps providing an analysis of
where they think that Beyonce strengths lie and don't lie. But because she's Beyonce,
if she puts an album, ouse probably gonna go to number one,
probably gonna get it. Did and and that of course then turned into having
to bring experts in and others to weigh in. This is a comedian slash
journalist. Now, Dulce Sloan does some daily show stuff, but this was
not in that capacity. They brought Sloan on MSNBC and Sloan in responding to
the Beyonce thing instead of going from a positive standpoint, going in that direction,
it is well, listen to this. I don't know if you saw
our last block. We were talking about the conservative outcry over Beyonce's upcoming country
album. One could joke. This whole affair illustrates that the outcry, who
is their outcry? I haven't seen it. If there is, are there
Beyonce haters, because that's inherent within the musical process. They are artists that
some people just and and they don't like them for a number of reasons,
but usually the least of which is the color of their skin. Right,
it's some snarky interview or Taylor Swift's ruining football, you know, and half
the time it's tongue in cheek. Is there an outcry? I didn't see
an outcry. And again these singles released went to number one. All right,
continue, right, actually really hates cultural appropriation. But black people have
always been a part of folk and country music. That's true, by the
way, that's true, But unfortunately they're not going to go in an actual
adult discussion. You want to weigh on that if white people hated cultural appropriation,
then they shouldn't have created music, because every form of in America was
stolen from black people. Rock and roll, jazz, lose, country,
pop music. So if you have a problem culture, by the way,
I've heard that so many times, it is there that is not grounded in
any reality whatsoever. Are there white artists who incorporate musical styles that were made
popular by people of a different color, Yes, and also reverse of that.
So and by the way, if you get musicians together, also,
this is generally not stuff that they worry themselves over, right, because now
they're into the technical appreciation of what their colleagues do or don't do right,
because obviously people have beef like any other place. But this is and and
I. But I've heard this. All music is stolen from black people.
It is the narrative. And an example that they'd like to use is Elvis,
right, Elvis stolen. But when you if you want to talk country
music, you want to talk folk music, you want to get into it,
we'll have this discussion. But continue your stupidity for creation music, y'allkind
of stuff with that, all right, So they're giving us Beethoven, all
right, let's continue wrote a piano into this concert. You see what I'm
saying. So it's like it only applies to the fact that we we don't
like this thing. We can't steal this thing. Listen, we keep going
up, we keep showing up, and we keep doing well. Y'all.
Let us do gymnastics. You saw what happened, y'all. Let us do
golf. You saw what happened. Now we in tennis. Listen, when
we started meting with the Winter Olympics. It is over for y'all. I
don't apologize for the inconvenienced. Stop letting us do your sports. Calm down.
So it's like, of course you want to be upset. You're literally
running out of quarterbacks, so it can't be it's a conservative outcry. Y'all
have nothing else to be mad about, That's all it is. Because if
you want to be upset about something gum control, you have all the time
to fix that. But you want to be mad at the Beyonce album don't
if I can think about them, they sounds so obviously this idiot, this
moron who apparently has culturally appropriated stupidity or whatever she tries. There's a couple
jokes in there because inherently but it's that it's the nasty Daily Show style jokes.
But she's dead serious and she's dead wrong too. If you want to
talk about country music and folk music and and really the evolution and and and
the beginning of it, then what you need to talk about is a blending,
a cultural blending that at the time incorporated uh you know, uh,
black communities, freed slaves, Irish and Scottish settlers, vaceros. If you
if you don't know what so we're talking about, you know, when you
get into the country as it is represented within westerns, you know this This
is the thing that makes me so angry about this. And that's like if
people think about the settling of the West, get away from just the music
and and they think it's a bunch of Billy the Kid white dudes running around.
And in reality, the Western United States was almost a perfectly split combination
of people who would be of Latin origin, of of of black and primarily
in many cases of freed slaves depending on the time, and and and white
folk. Uh, you know out there music stealing that, the settling of
the West, the driving of cattle, the everything that took place out there,
the law enforcement, it was. It was far more integrated than anything
you had going on in the East Coast because it was a matter of survival
and accomplishing things. Some of the greatest lawmen and gunmen of the Old West
were not white guys. And if you took a half second to learn about
any of this stuff, it's fascinating. So it is that combination of white
Scottish Irish settlers, primarily North Carolina's was a haven for this of blacks,
of freed slaves and h and Latin influence primary only through the Vicaros which was
part of Mexico, Texas and all that. And that's just that's just part
of it. These are the things that you could be on there saying,
but instead you're spewing stupid and now it made me angry. Hang on,
people are trying to kind of fill in the blanks. So based on the
medical information, which again is unofficial because it has to come out of Russia,
so good luck with that. But there's a report out on specifically how
Navalni may have been killed, and I think it yields a pretty small suspect
list. So russ I haven't I haven't told you this yet because I just
saw it. So I'm going to read this suspect list and I'll see if
you can figure out the method of death. Okay, all right, So
I got three suspects, T Higgins. I want to know who T.
Higgins is. He is UH. He placed the Cincinnati Bengals, Beatrix Kiddo
and Frank Dukes I think have to be the leading suspects. According to UH
witnesses within the prison colony, bruising that was located around Navalney's body indicates that
he may have been killed by a single punch to the heart. He got
so claiming that it is this is a method that has been utilized by KGB
Special Forces. Yeah, they learned for he so well, it was it
the explode the five finger exploding heart or palm heart technique? Was was was?
Was it a dim mock or was it whatever the hit t Higgins put
on Tamar Hamlin. I don't know, but all apparently had the same same
outcome, although obviously Hamlin recovered. But yeah, yeah, I don't I
don't know. Man, that's crazy though. Oh, by the way,
you've never seen that movie. Your name's kind of a spoiler and didn't tell
the end, so and I don't know why, but it was very weird.
So h yeah, there you go. I don't know that I buy
that, considering uh you know, really windows and poisons were more. But
I guess if you're wanting to do something in a prison setting, that may
be the way to go. Well, PI may, but PI May couldn't
have done it right because the poisoned fish heads. Oh what if Putin's the
one who did that and not uh what's her name with the eye patch?
Man, this raises a lot of questions. There's all sorts of strange stories
coming out today. Oh, speaking of this snake, I think I mentioned
it earlier and they just mentioned it again because this thing is absolutely terrifying.
So a biologist and TV wildlife presenter, his name is Freak Vonk, that's
his name. He's Dutch or something anyway, So he is he literally is
deep in the Amazon and he's shooting a you know, nature nature thing,
right, and they're in search of the green ana conda, which is the
largest of the anacondas. And apparently he was successful in capturing video of what
is likely the largest live green ana conda ever videoed in the wild. And
this thing is a beast twenty four feet long, five hundred pounds, feeding
primarily on adult copy baras, which are like one hundred that's like one hundred
pounds. That's what this thing eats. And and this dude literally gets in
the water with it. It's just crazy. The circumference of the snake is
roughly that of a of a standard car tire and that's when it's tummy's empty.
Yeah, he's Dutch. There we go, despite having the size the
head ahead the size of a human's. The forty year old biologist is shown
in the footage jumping into the water to swim with the anaconda who does not
appear to want none is it's swimming away, so I guess maybe he had
eaten. No, thank you, I'm pretty you gotta you gotta kill that
thing with fire right away. Night right. Let's see here in the past,
what was the well The green anecona is the world's largest snake at the
moment. Uh Previous evidence of larger snakes, though not onees that are thought
to be alive today, but recently included the for a forty foot titan boa,
though titan boas are thought to no longer exist, and that would be
nearly twice the size. Yeah, yeah, I don't think I'm going on
a I don't think I'm going on a river excursion in the Amazon. As
much as I like adventure travel, that one's probably off the list. There
is hugging the dam. What are you doing, dude? They hugging the
snake. Man. This snake does not look like it's happy about it either.
So there's you know, more nightmare fuel for you in case you needed
something to start your day. All right, sorry, and now people are
hitting me with all sorts of musical collabs and crossovers. Going back to that
previous conversation, it's just so lazy. Going back to the whole all music
is stolen from black people argument, which is is not made by anyone who
I guess probably is a fan of music for that matter, but also fails
to recognize again what I thought was the goal of all of the insanity.
Like the insanity if you missed the first part of the show that you can
witness on our Twitter account. There is the AI or the new AI for
Google was it. Gemini is out and people were playing with it yesterday and
they were trying to use as many prompts as possible, some very they don't
want to be hyper specific, but they wanted to create prompts that should generate
photos. Obviously, AI produced photos of white males just to see if it
was possible. And this whole thread is insane, and several of the others
where the diversity plug in on this thing is so nuts that even in situations
where it's his, it is his, provably historically inaccurate, it's still would
only generate photos with a few actual exceptions of wildly diverse representations of things,
and this included thirteenth century Vikings, kings of England over oh my personal favorite
super Bowl winning quarterbacks, all of them then being represented popes, all of
them being represented by black, brown, Asian, whatever, but just collectives
of individuals where that wouldn't be an accurate description of a super Bowl winning quarterback,
which is depicted by the AI, and I'm not making this up as
about one hundred pound Asian woman, which no. And when people get too
specific about what they want, instead of getting images generated, the AI literally
scolds them, saying that it's not it would be racist or bigoted, or
somebody asked for a goblin and it wouldn't do it because they thought it was
anti semitic. They didn't say anything about that. They just said goblin,
What was it? What was the one ross? They wouldn't do. Greedy
businessmen, right, they wouldn't. Like I can in my head envision that
it's a fat dude. He might have a monocle, but he's definitely got
a cigar in his face holding up a bunch of money. That like,
that would be the cartoonish example. That would be an example that AI could
do, And instead you get this insane thread of the images generated. And
it just speaks to what I said. When it comes to AI. It's
really important about how it's developed because it's going to be incorporated in ways that
we will never fully will never know all of the ways in which businesses will
embrace AI to streamline things. And it could be within ticketing systems, seat
assignments, it could it could be within hiring practices, and likely will be.
So when you have an AI that can't fathom to create a quote super
Bowl winning quarterback, that even that doesn't even represent what is already a diverse
crowd. Right, it's not just white dudes, that's not that thing's not
going to get any better. And Google has such a market share and leg
up that a lot of businesses who already partnered with Google for ad sense and
marketing and a variety of other things, all right, we'll probably embrace Google
services and then incorporate it into their own business models. It's really dangerous dumb
stuff. What's the one I'm leaving off? Oh, nineteen thirties German dictator
which looks to be an Icelandic woman or something. Check it out at Casey
on the radio. We tweeted it out. Well, we check out the
weather with Jeff mah and how are we looking sir, Looking good today,
some sunshine with the light breeze out of the north of high today around fifty
seven, and then once again some cold conditions overnight with a clear skyline wins.
The low sha dip down to thirty two, but milder tomorrow up to
sixty four. Clouds will move in, Winds will pick up out of the
south, and then rain moves in late Tomorrow night ahead of a cold front
with a low of fifty one. Those showers will take up off into Friday
afternoon. It will be a breezy day with the highest sixty five. Trying
clear for your weekend with sunshine Saturday and Sunday and highs in the midw upper
fifties. But early next week beautiful weather, some sunshine Monday, a low
seventies and a party Cloulle Tuesday with a high gen in the low seventies.
All right, thanks, Jeff, appreciate it, and we'll come back and
chat with Joan Donagher next. Hang on Bloomberg News, Joan, what's going
on today? Well, last ditch efforts among Kroger, which of course owns
Harris Teeter and the Albertson supermarket chain, which owns Safeway, among others to
try to persuade the Federal Trade Commission not to sue to stop the company's merger.
Kroger says the merger would mean more union jobs at supermarkets, lower prices,
more choice for customers. The Biden administration, along with a number of
states, however, are ready to stop or ready to sue to stop the
deal as early as next week. It isn't just or it is just what
the housing industry did not want to see. Mortgage rates that are again above
seven percent. The Mortgage Bankers Association says the contract rate on a thirty year
fixed mortgage rose last week to seven point six percent. It was the biggest
weekly jump since October. Buyers and sellers have been waiting for the Federal Reserve
to start cutting interest r but the Fed is signaled that might not be in
the cards just yet. And while inflation may be easing, it doesn't mean
prices have dropped to pre pandemic levels. We are still paying more to eat.
It has been thirty years since eating ate up so much of our income.
The Wall Street Journal says prices at restaurants and other eateries were up more
than five percent last month. Over January of last year. The Labor Department
says grocery costs were up more than one percent over the same period. American
Airlines is making it more expensive to fly. It's raising the cost to check
bags thirty five bucks for the first check bag. You have to pay online,
though, because it'll be forty if you pay the fee at the airport
the previous price thirty dollars. A second bag will cost you another forty five
dollars. American says, well, it hasn't raised bag fee since twenty eighteen.
Overall, the airlines took in more than thirty three billion dollars in bag
fees last year, up about fifteen percent from the year before. And finally,
Casey, if you're among the people shaking your head and grumbling, they
just don't make things the way they used to. The Wall Street Journal reports
big appliances, refrigerator, stoves, washers are not lasting as long as they
used to, and experts say it's because of the push towards computerization. There
are more individual parts, and yes they're made a flimsier materials. If you
go high end, the appliances do more, but they won't last any longer.
Yeah, and they put stuff on there that you don't want. Ross.
Ross was had to buy a fridge and what was it like the door
alarms? You couldn't buy one without a stupid door alarm on it or something.
Yeah, it's annoying. It beeps after you have for like ten seconds.
Yeah, who hasn't started a fridge for more than ten seconds? And
now it's gonna scold you? Screw that noise. Yeah, give me the
old If you crawl inside, you're gonna suffocate eighties style ones. Yeah with
that, a lot of people are wishing they still have that. That's very
true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, Well, thank you
appreciate it. We'll talk to you tomorrow. Yeah, roll into that appliance
store and tell me you want the punky brewster I think would probably still be
working. Well, no, it'd probably be in evidence. Now you can
get these little yeah sure, but I mean the refrigerator from the seventies.
Like everybody like you have one of the garage that's still working. We have
what we still have. I'd have to check with my brother. We have
one in our barn, or had one in our barn growing up, and
it was just you know, it was overflow for like water and pop and
beer and stuff. And I that I think the thing's still in there.
Yeah, I'm saying, the less moving parts, the longer it's gonna last.
Yeah. Just it just works. And that's not exactly super temperature controlled
environments. That's just oh man. And speaking of other things, they don't
make them like they used to. Uh. Today, as you're out and
about, just know you might be crushed to death by an adult male rhinoceros.
Side this is Can we stop measuring things in animals? Just give me
the stats I can deal with then. Anyway, A satellite the size of
an adult male rhinoceros is expected to re enter Earth's atmosphere this morning in about
two and a half hours plus or minus. It could be as many as
six hours, but uh, they expected eleven thirty two. That's the prediction.
However, they can't be one hundred percent on when and where it will
re enter, but they're quote pretty sure it will largely burn up in the
atmosphere. But they can't be one hundred percent. This thing is still landing
in my house because I've done so much work in my house and a half
point yeah you've been all yeah, I've been guaranteed, now guaranteed. But
oh, I finally fix my roof and my steps. I got the gun
av system sink that boom. You're done. So the size of it?
What is it? Rhinoceros? An adult male? And why am male?
Huh? Why not a female? What are they? I'm just gonna I'm
gonna go into the workday and I'm gonna take that day off now because that
that thing's collapsed, that's flying into my house. But you get to keep
it right, I would hope. So I'm not assuming you can scrap that
out or something after crushes. I'm not gonna be like it Bob from Pennsylvania
and that door fell on his property. Yeah, no, I'll sell it
back to you. Seeking you do, I can pay off the damage of
my home. That's five thousand pounds, is the is the weight estimate there?
So because I because like what just put that in the story.
