McDonald's. New York City Police Commissioner 93 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.120 Jessica Tish also fired back at people who are supporting Mangioni. 94 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.279 There is no heroism in what Mangioni did. This was 95 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.879 a senseless act of violence. It was a cold and 96 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:17.199 calculated crime that stole a life and put New Yorkers 97 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:17.720 at risk. 98 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.720 Camangioni had already been charged with murder earlier this month, 99 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.839 but the terror allegation is new.

It's five oh seven on your Wednesday 111 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.439 morning wake up call. Let's say good morning to ABC's 112 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.160 Jim Ryan. Okay, Jim. There are good toys and there 113 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.279 are bad toys, and now we know what the worst 114 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:16.920 toys are for twenty twenty four. 115 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.399 Yeah, at least according to this group called WATCH, which 116 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.000 stands for a World Against Toys Causing Harm A really 117 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.839 terrible acronym, but sort of a useful list if you're 118 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.319 a parent or a grandparent, a care give out looking 119 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.759 for the perfect toy to give to a child. It's 120 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.519 been compiling this list amy for the last fifty two years. Then, 121 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.240 many of these toys on this list, whether they look 122 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.439 completely different from their prototypes or their counterparts from fifty 123 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.639 years ago, but they have the same kinds of potential risks, 124 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.480 choking hazards, eye injuries. But there are newer ones as well, 125 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.480 newer potential threats. At the very top of the list, 126 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.759 the PENO VK toy cult, forty five pistol Gee. 127 00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.079 What could be bad about that one? 128 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.720 A couple of things projectiles first of all, but also 129 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.680 it has the potential for tragedy. Essentially if some kid 130 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.800 is holding this thing. You've heard about these cases amy 131 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.759 of some a police officer mistaking a toy gun for 132 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:18.959 the real thing and acting appropriately or acting according to training. Horrible, 133 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.040 you know. And in fact, there was one gun that 134 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.399 was taken off the list altogether earlier this year. That 135 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.639 was it was it pulled off the market because it 136 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.759 did not have the required little red plug or blaze 137 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.040 orange plug on the end, and it looked very realistic. 138 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:37.399 Yeah, okay, so that's and that's that is a common 139 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.399 sense one that a gun that looks like a real 140 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.480 gun might be a bad idea. But yeah, then there's 141 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.600 some other ones. Okay, what is going on was the 142 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.600 Bristle hedgehog, because hedgehogs are adorable. 143 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.879 They are well, there's a potential for ingestion, injuries, there's 144 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.879 something can be swallowed with this thing. So parents who 145 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.319 are looking at this thing but possibly buying it need 146 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.160 to feel it, look at it, no matter what the 147 00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:58.639 toy is. 148 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.920 Oh if it does horrible looking at it right now? 149 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:04.800 I know, I know, But can you see the possibility 150 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:06.959 that some part of that could get swallowed, and especially 151 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.439 if it's for infants or toddlers. The other one unless 152 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.720 there the kinetic sand sense ice cream treats. 153 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:14.439 Oh what's that? 154 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.680 Well, it's the little ice cream set you make ice 155 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.839 cream cones bit out of sand. 156 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.800 Oh like that that sand that binds and you can 157 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.000 shave it.

Right, the 162 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.240 big warning on the front choking hazard, small parts. 163 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:42.639 H Remember play Doo used to taste like salt, and 164 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:46.919 I would know because I used to lick it, but 165 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:47.720 I never ate it. 166 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:48.639 Okay. 167 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:50.960 What are a couple of other ones? 168 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:52.799 Some of the other and then a lot of these 169 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.440 again carry some of the same risks.

The vote to authorize a strike came after 193 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.679 Amazon reportedly ignored a deadline last Sunday to open negotiations. 194 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.200 Okay, if it's Tammy Truchios's workers are looking for higher wages, 195 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.960 better benefits and better working conditions. A man in Victorville 196 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:17.240 says he's thankful he's alive after he was knocked unconscious 197 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.000 in a road rage incident. He says he was on 198 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.120 his way to work yesterday morning when a guy in 199 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.840 a pickup truck started cutting him off, slamming on his 200 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.679 brakes and nearly running him off the road. Brian Syke 201 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.080 tells KTLA he then pulled over. He got out of 202 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.399 my truck and I asked him, you know what's going on? 203 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.200 Why you cutting me off? And he gets out of 204 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.399 his truck with the pipe and his been the head 205 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.399 and next ding I knew, I woke up and he 206 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.679 was gone. He says. He then called his wife, who 207 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.200 took him to the hospital. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's 208 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.879 Department is looking for the pickup truck driver. Pollisa, Wisconsin 209 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.159 had been talking to students at Abundant Life Christian School 210 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.720 in Madison to try to figure out why a fifteen 211 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:56.799 year old girl took a gun to school and shot 212 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.919 several people, killing a teacher and a student. Police chief 213 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.720 Sean Barnes says the motive for the shooting on Monday 214 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.759 appears to be a combination of factors, and police are 215 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.679 trying to find out if bullying was one of them. 216 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.600 The fifteen year old shot and killed herself on campus. 217 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.480 The Pentagon says it was not involved in the killing 218 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.519 of a senior Russian general by Ukraine's intelligence agency. The 219 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.519 Russian general and his assistant were killed yesterday in a 220 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:27.720 bomb attack in Moscow. Pentagon spokesman Major General Patrick Ryder 221 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.919 says US military leaders don't know anything about it beforehand. 222 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.879 We were not aware of this operation in dvance. We 223 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.919 do not support or enable those kinds of activities. 224 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.320 The US and Ukraine have accused the general of using 225 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.679 chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops. A Ukrainian official said yesterday 226 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:49.159 Ukraine's intelligence services carried out the attack. Russia says an 227 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:53.440 Uzbek citizen recruited by the services has been taken into custody. 228 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.919 A volunteer advocate for homeless people in Orange County says 229 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.960 her pleas to authorities for a temporary winter homeless Shell 230 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:04.440 and Fullerton haven't gone anywhere. Leoh White tells KFI she's 231 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.320 been in touch with officials in the city police department 232 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.960 and case management organizations, and while she gets positive responses, 233 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:12.919 nothing happens because. 234 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.720 Of the increment weather. You know, when it gets below 235 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:21.000 fifty degrees, that increases the likelihood of people freezing to death. 236 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.600 The homeless population is at risk. 237 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.600 White says she has been advocating for the homeless for 238 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.320 eleven years. Megan the Stallion has asked for a restraining 239 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:34.480 order against rapper Tory Lanes, whom she says has been 240 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.399 harassing her from prison. The petition, filed by the hip 241 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.679 hop singer asks the judge in LA to stop the 242 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.559 Canadian rapper from using other people to harass her on 243 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:46.720 social media. The filing says bloggers acting on Lane's behalf 244 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.759 are trying to cast doubt on her allegations. Lane's was 245 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:52.240 convicted in twenty twenty two of shooting at the singer's 246 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.759 feet in twenty twenty Okay, you did not wake up 247 00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:01.080 Mega Rich this morning because no one won the Mega 248 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.200 Million's jackpot last night. So the next drawing Friday is 249 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.600 worth an estimated eight hundred twenty five million dollars. I'll 250 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.279 be buying my tickets because of a report from Go 251 00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:16.000 Banking Rates that says that people in California need to 252 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.039 have two point three million dollars saved if they want 253 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:24.320 to retire comfortably for twenty years, I'm screwed. So the 254 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.080 annual amount for your nest egg would break out to 255 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.240 one hundred and sixty two thousand dollars, which they said, 256 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.840 that's what you need to live comfortably in California. And 257 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:35.879 to get to this place, you would need to save 258 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:41.000 four three hundred and thirty four dollars every month starting 259 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:44.080 starting at the age of twenty. 260 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:46.279 So next year. 261 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.039 So yeah, in twenty three states, you need more than 262 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.639 a million dollars in savings to retire comfortably. The best 263 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:58.600 place to retire money wise is West Virginia, where you 264 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.519 would just need four hundred thirty four, five hundred and 265 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.480 one dollars to live comfortably in retirement for twenty years. 266 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:09.879 Something to think about and maybe think about when you 267 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.360 go buy your lottery ticket that is worth eight hundred 268 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.039 twenty five million dollars, but your odds of winning that 269 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:21.039 one are one in three hundred million. A fire at 270 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.000 an apartment complex in Sherman Oaks has damaged several cars 271 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.399 in a car port and windows to two apartments. The 272 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.639 fire on Cast Avenue was reported around ten thirty last night. 273 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.840 Firefighters were also called out last night about a rubbish 274 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.000 fire in Sherman Oaks, that one happened on Burbank Boulevard 275 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.080 near the four or five firefighters in Malibu been watching 276 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:42.960 the four thousand acre fire extra close as another Santa 277 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.799 Ana wind event blows through. All evacuation orders and warnings 278 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.639 have been lifted, but officials are urging residents to remain vigilant. 279 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.960 Utility officials say power shutoffs are possible if the winds 280 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.440 get too strong. Red flag warnings are in effect until 281 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.039 six o'clock this evening. Tom Cruise has been given the 282 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.240 highest civilian in honor by the US Navy. The Navy 283 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.919 presented the top gun Star with the Distinguished Public Service 284 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.200 Award yesterday in London. The Navy says his portrayal of 285 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.679 Maverick helped increase military recruiting and that crews helped raise 286 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:17.840 awareness and appreciation of fire pilot fighter pilots, their training 287 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.200 and also their sacrifices.

Yes, probably, I think, 292 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.080 so let's just leave it there. 293 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.559 Okay, all right, so it's called. 294 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:39.960 Great to me. 295 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:43.000 Came to what They came to me and said, hey, 296 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:44.879 do you want to rename everything here rich on Tech? 297 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:46.559 And I said, yeah, of course. 298 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:49.320 Because of the wild success of your weekend show right 299 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:50.120 here on KFI. 300 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:52.320 Yeah, okay, I think, so we'll. 301 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.759 Go with that. Okay. So if you're a little stressed 302 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.360 over the holidays, maybe you need a little massage and 303 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.720 you can't get in at Burke Williams, you can. 304 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:05.480 Go to a robot Yeah, and I assume this would 305 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.080 be cheaper than Burke Williams. So I don't think you 306 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:08.519 can get in there for less than like a couple 307 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.559 hundred bucks. But I don't know because I've never been. 308 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.840 But I will tell you this. I can tell you 309 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.519 what's that. 310 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:16.360 It's lovely. I'll tell you that. 311 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.399 Yeah, I know, I've heard from my wife. I just yeah, 312 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:20.759 I just think it's expensive. 313 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:24.559 But yes, anyway, okay, so you went high tech for your. 314 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:28.360 Massage, So I went high tech. There's a new robot massage. 315 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.639 It's a company called Escape. They're putting these high tech 316 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.759 robots all over the country. They just opened up one 317 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.039 here in Studio City. That's the one I went to, 318 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.559 a place called Pause Wellness, and then they also opened 319 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:42.919 one this week at the Rich Carlton in Santa Barbara, 320 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:44.759 which I'm trying to make it too because that sounds 321 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:48.759 really fancy. Anyway, you lay on this bed, the robot 322 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.240 takes a scan of your body with AI and goes 323 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:54.240 to work. And it reminds me a lot of what 324 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:58.519 Peloton did for the cycling world, where it's all very 325 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.240 computer centric and you know, there's a screen in front 326 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:03.080 of you. You can choose your music, you can choose 327 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.200 what you watch while you're getting massaged. And the thing 328 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:09.039 that's a little bit different is that, because the machine 329 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:11.160 doesn't use any sort of oil, you have to put 330 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.559 on these like really tight spandexy clothes so that you 331 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:16.480 can get the massage because it, you know, needs to 332 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:18.119 like move its arms over your body. 333 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.319 Hmmm. And does that feel weird? Because that's one of 334 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.200 the things that I love about massage is that like 335 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.200 is somebody's warm hands and then you have the lotion 336 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:29.839 or the oil or whatever is they're you know, giving 337 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:30.640 you a good rubdown. 338 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:34.359 Yep, well, this does this does have warm arms. The 339 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:38.680 robot hands are somehow warmed up, so I would say this, look, 340 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.640 I think this is this is not going to replace humans. 341 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.039 I think it's another option, and it's kind of a 342 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.240 cool option, especially as we get into this world of 343 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.680 everything is on demand, everything is self service. It kind 344 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:52.240 of reminds me of like an uber of massage. You 345 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.640 literally just book this thing for half an hour or 346 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.640 an hour. You go there, you don't have to really 347 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.319 talk to anyone, You lay down, your relax and you're 348 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:00.000 on your way. 349 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.759 And it looks like something out of a sci fi movie, 350 00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:06.960 you know, like Total Recall or something something from the future. 351 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.319 Oh totally. And as this thing started, I sat there 352 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.599 and I was like, okay, this could be it, Like 353 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.519 this thing could malfunction and literally crush my lungs with 354 00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:19.000 its push and it's like you're you're laying there and 355 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.079 that crosses your mind. And there is a big emergency 356 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.000 stop button as well. So clearly, clearly it's not out 357 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:27.480 of the realm of possibilities. 358 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.000 Okay, And what does it cost? 359 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.160 This was sixty dollars for half an hour, which I 360 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:35.519 don't think is much cheaper than a typical massage. 361 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:40.200 It's not it's not. Okay, another option, another option, but 362 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:44.359 it might be fun to try. Okay, open ai is 363 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.319 trying to make a run for Google. 364 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.640 Oh my gosh, this is wild because you know, Google 365 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.559 would not we would not be on this entire AI 366 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.640 spiral or whatever you want to call it, upward trajectory 367 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.880 if it was not for chatch ebt, because that launched 368 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.240 two years ago now and everything has changed. Everything has 369 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:05.799 changed since then, and of course Google has been really 370 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:07.640 hard hit because a lot of people are using chat 371 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:12.079 GBT and until now there was no real time search results. 372 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:14.279 But now that this week, that has all changed. Now 373 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:17.359 you can search the web through chat GBT and it's 374 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.880 open to anyone. So this has been available for a 375 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.519 few weeks, but it was only available to people that 376 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:24.680 pay twenty dollars a month, and now they said, you 377 00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:26.880 know what, let's get rid of that as well. So 378 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:29.319 now you can just literally search chat gibt. And it's 379 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:31.960 really handy, by the way, amy for up to date 380 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.240 information on a lot of topics or restaurants, or if 381 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.480 you're visiting a city, you can say, hey, give me 382 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:40.480 the notable restaurants that open this year. I mean, it's 383 00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:41.519 really really good. 384 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:44.880 I love that idea. But now I have one question 385 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.440 for you about the AI generated stuff, because like when 386 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.440 I do a Google search, sometimes it'll say operated by 387 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.039 AI or whatever, yeah, up at the top. Yeah, And 388 00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:59.480 I've noticed that a few times it's been wrong. Yep, yeah, 389 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.559 Like should you can you get a second opinion? You 390 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:04.079 know what I mean? 391 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:04.240 Like? 392 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:06.359 How do you do that? You can't just assume that 393 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.039 it's right, because it's no, you cannot. 394 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:10.680 And in fact, if you know the topic and you 395 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.640 know what's happening, you can tell that it's wrong. And 396 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:15.440 so you have to be really careful with this stuff 397 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.960 and the thing they're all tackling it in a different way. 398 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.000 There's one called Perplexity that does it the way that 399 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:24.359 chat GBT does it is they put sources almost next 400 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.400 to each sentence that they're writing when you do a 401 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.839
