Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six.
Speaker 2: Forty JFI Mo Kelly and Marshall Collier. Now as it's
Speaker 2: Tech Thursday here we're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 2: and Marshall Collier. I am a Google person through and through.
Speaker 2: The ecosystem is perfect for me and my lifestyle. I
Speaker 2: like to have the Google Chrome and all my browser
Speaker 2: tabs or my bookmarks wherever I go, if I lock
Speaker 2: it on my phone or a work computer, whatever. But
Speaker 2: also beyond that, how I can use it with my
Speaker 2: phone for things like Google Lens.
Speaker 3: Well before the iPhone people come off the line, so
Speaker 3: you got to come back, folks.
Speaker 4: iOS.
Speaker 3: Google Lens is available for the iPhone, believe it or not.
Speaker 3: So what we're going to what I got to tell
Speaker 3: you about it. I love Google Lens, but they have
Speaker 3: put some improvements in it. And I'll just give you
Speaker 3: a little thing that just happened.
Speaker 4: The other night.
Speaker 3: We were watching Only Murders in the Building and Meryl
Speaker 3: Streep comes out and she is wearing this really great jacket.
Speaker 4: This jacket was fabulous.
Speaker 3: So I froze the TV, I turned on Google Lens,
Speaker 3: and I mean it looked like a custom jacket, and
Speaker 3: indeed it is. And I found some weird company who
Speaker 3: called it Meryl Streep Season whatever it was jacket from
Speaker 3: only murders in the building.
Speaker 2: Let's back up for people who don't know what Google
Speaker 2: Lens is. I can take a picture of something, I
Speaker 2: can look at something with my phone and it's basically
Speaker 2: going to do a search for me of items which
Speaker 2: are that or closely mimic it exactly.
Speaker 3: And I found the three stores on the internet that
Speaker 3: had that jacket, and I went around for the lowest
Speaker 3: price because the descriptions were the same. And I'll get
Speaker 3: it eventually.
Speaker 4: I'll wear it for you. But if it's like Shazam
Speaker 4: except for products, for products and it well.
Speaker 3: And also like if you're fixing something at home and
Speaker 3: you need a special screw or you need a certain
Speaker 3: he's ranch or side.
Speaker 4: I've done that a bunch of times.
Speaker 3: Right, You just tap on the Google Lends icon. You
Speaker 3: can bring it over to the front of your phone.
Speaker 3: I don't know how it works for you iPhone people,
Speaker 3: but it's right on the front of my phone. I
Speaker 3: tap it. It says use your camera. Tap that little
Speaker 3: button and it takes a picture. Now, think about this.
Speaker 3: Remember I just told you I just bought this jack
Speaker 3: and it was a deal too.
Speaker 4: I was shocked. It was a great deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably some fake website. Yeah that's true, but I
Speaker 3: bought it through Google Pay, so there's some sort of guarantee. Anyway,
Speaker 3: if you're in a store, just think about this. You
Speaker 3: take a picture of the box or the item. You
Speaker 3: use Google lens to take a picture. Now you do
Speaker 3: that when you're standing in the store. It'll bring up
Speaker 3: detailed information on the product that you're not going to
Speaker 3: see on the box. It's going to show you pages
Speaker 3: with customer reviews, what stores carry it, what different stores
Speaker 3: charged for it, and if there are nearby retailers who
Speaker 3: have them and also similar products.
Speaker 2: I have to interrupt you there because my wife and
Speaker 2: my mother, now because we've shown her how to do it,
Speaker 2: they swear by this. My wife will be in the
Speaker 2: stores like, oh I like those shoes, click click click click,
Speaker 2: and then she'll either order them immediately from Amazon at
Speaker 2: lower price, or find some of the place where it's
Speaker 2: a lower price.
Speaker 4: Right on the spot. Right.
Speaker 3: I mean, this has really made shopping. I can't even
Speaker 3: imagine how we used to do it in the Remember
Speaker 3: we used to call every store, excuse me, do you
Speaker 3: have do.
Speaker 2: You have this in a size nine right white trim?
Speaker 3: And then you had to wait like ten minutes for
Speaker 3: the guy to walk around the store and come back.
Speaker 4: And see if they had it, and.
Speaker 3: Stop, but do you have it in red? So you
Speaker 3: know that was a big mess. But Google uses AI
Speaker 3: image recognition technology, and you if you're in a store,
Speaker 3: you need to be sharing your location data because that's
Speaker 3: the only way if they can tell you there's a
Speaker 3: store down the street that has the same thing. But
Speaker 3: beauty products, toys, electrical goods all share their inventory data
Speaker 3: with Google.
Speaker 4: Stores such as Macy's.
Speaker 3: Target, Walmart, as well as Amazon, so think about it.
Speaker 3: So seventy two percent of Americans say they use their
Speaker 3: smartphone while they're in store. More than half save they've
Speaker 3: left a store empty handed because they did and feel
Speaker 3: confident enough to buy. Now, if you use the Google
Speaker 3: lens to get all the information on your product, you
Speaker 3: can make your decision on that. You don't have to
Speaker 3: go home and think about it.
Speaker 4: I swear by this. You don't have to sell me.
Speaker 2: I'm just surprised more people don't know about it and
Speaker 2: haven't utilize it as a function of just their day
Speaker 2: to day living. Anything I can't figure out from ooh
Speaker 2: that's an interesting car, or any item that I might
Speaker 2: want to buy instant, Google lens instantly.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: You know, we change as a society and we forget
Speaker 3: about certain things. Like I was talking to somebody about
Speaker 3: KFI just this morning and they said, well, I can't
Speaker 3: listen to it. I don't have a radio. People don't
Speaker 3: you don't have a radio at home. I mean, you
Speaker 3: know there's that big talk talk about AM radios and cars,
Speaker 3: But an AM radio will save your bacon, believe you.
Speaker 3: When I was in the north Ridge earthquake, if it
Speaker 3: wasn't for AM radio, I.
Speaker 4: Would have been in trouble.
Speaker 2: But the other side of that is, even though we
Speaker 2: all know the utility of AM radio, unless you are
Speaker 2: intentional and conscious of going to the store and buying
Speaker 2: an AM radio for emergency situations, most people are not
Speaker 2: going to think about it. And the other portion of
Speaker 2: society we know how to get our AM stations because
Speaker 2: of the iHeartRadio app or some other app.
Speaker 3: Well, we've just given the tech gift of the week. Yes,
Speaker 3: we have for the holidays. Get someone who doesn't have one,
Speaker 3: who didn't even know you could get news and talk
Speaker 3: on AM radio. Get them in AM radio. And the
Speaker 3: search that I use is the best signal AM radios
Speaker 3: because I AM radio can be a little bit touchy
Speaker 3: when you're talking about in the house. Oh yes, we
Speaker 3: have a bowse and kind of.
Speaker 4: To put it to the window and hang up then.
Speaker 3: But seriously, that's a great gift for anybody in case
Speaker 3: of an emergency, and you can get them pretty or
Speaker 3: you can get them with a hand crank in case
Speaker 3: there's a power.
Speaker 2: You're given such great gyms tonight any particular reason, Like
Speaker 2: you're like you're in the zone.
Speaker 4: As they say in basketball.
Speaker 3: It's shopping, man, it's shopping. I love using technology for
Speaker 3: well for oh you know, for things that people will
Speaker 3: actually use. I mean, we've been yapping about this AI.
Speaker 3: This is where ay I is paying off. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: I don't really care about the quantum computing is very
Speaker 3: important and it's going to do a lot, but it's
Speaker 3: not going to help me right now and probably not
Speaker 3: in my lifetime. So I like talking to people about
Speaker 3: stuff you can really use. And you know, I was
Speaker 3: just looking at a Christmas Tree. I saw some really
Speaker 3: cool ornaments and I used Google lens. Where did they
Speaker 3: sell those? Oh, they happened to sell it at all,
Speaker 3: Dick on Supulvita.
Speaker 4: Well, there you go. There you go if you just
Speaker 4: tune in.
Speaker 2: Marsha Collier joining us in studio as she usually does
Speaker 2: during the week, sometimes on Tuesday. Now she's back on
Speaker 2: Thursday when we come back. Marsha, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you heard my conversation earlier this week when I was
Speaker 2: talking about wearables are medical information it being available on
Speaker 2: platforms which are connected to the cloud, How that invariably
Speaker 2: is going to be used against us that I know
Speaker 2: you have some thoughts about that when we come back.
Speaker 4: Oh, you know, I do.
Speaker 2: It's Later with Mo Kelly, can't I Am six forty
Speaker 2: live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4: Kelly and Marsha Collier.
Speaker 2: I've everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and I already know
Speaker 2: where Marsha Callier. I think I know where she's going
Speaker 2: to come out on this. I was talking about my
Speaker 2: pixel watch earlier the week and how I love to
Speaker 2: watch my heart rate, resting heart rate, how many steps
Speaker 2: I get in in a given day. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: get twenty thousand steps a day each day this week.
Speaker 4: Look at you. As a matter of fact, I'm at health.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that eleven five hundred steps right now
Speaker 2: for the day, I have a ways to go. But
Speaker 2: when I get home, I'm going to work out again,
Speaker 2: so i'll get there.
Speaker 4: Will you wear my watch?
Speaker 2: I remember my wife and she's gonna get mad at
Speaker 2: me for staying this. One day she took her her
Speaker 2: watch and put it on one of the dogs to
Speaker 2: run around the house. I said, I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's going to register, but you can try. And one
Speaker 2: time she put her on a ceiling fan. It's like,
Speaker 2: you were just a cheat.
Speaker 4: Love your cheater, Love you, you're a cheater.
Speaker 2: But anyhow, it's recording health data, right and I have fitbits,
Speaker 2: so it is being stored on an online cloud platform
Speaker 2: which can be hacked at any time.
Speaker 3: But wait a minute, we happen to address the elephant
Speaker 3: in the room. Fitbit is being discontinued by Google. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: so what happens now, Well that that data has to
Speaker 3: go somewhere I assume. Well, let's also tell the listeners
Speaker 3: that if you're looking at a fitbit because they're cheap
Speaker 3: right now, there's a reason.
Speaker 4: There's a reason why they're cheap right now.
Speaker 3: And if you'd rather buy one that may not be supported,
Speaker 3: may not have a thing something going in the future,
Speaker 3: and may have repair problems, think about it.
Speaker 4: I would be where I am not buying a Fitbit.
Speaker 2: I have a pixel Watch, which is integrated with fitbit technology.
Speaker 2: I don't know going forward whether Google's going to have
Speaker 2: its own proprietary.
Speaker 4: They already have their own.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they have Google fit and I assume
Speaker 2: that they will somehow bridge the gap. I just don't
Speaker 2: know what it's going to look like.
Speaker 3: Said, yeah, I don't know what it's going to look
Speaker 3: like either, But right now, I just don't think would
Speaker 3: pick this year.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, give a gift.
Speaker 3: Of a smart watch speaking of and I know the
Speaker 3: hell hold it is the X. It's just difficult place,
Speaker 3: but it is your only key to using Grock. Grock
Speaker 3: is Elon Musk's or X's AI. It is being trained masterfully. Now,
Speaker 3: remember you've got Gemini from Google. You've got I guess
Speaker 3: it's Siri from my phone, Apple Intelligency f and you
Speaker 3: know they're all out there sucking data, but this one's
Speaker 3: particularly on gro.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: GROC is on X and Elon had posted they want
Speaker 3: to train it to make it a medical diagnostic tool,
Speaker 3: and he asked people to load medical test results cts,
Speaker 3: bone skin, hands so that GROC can learn how to
Speaker 3: interpret them. So, you know, MRI is the whole thing
Speaker 3: a lot of people have. It's in its early stages,
Speaker 3: but the more it sees, the more it'll learn.
Speaker 2: In the hopes of ultimately that it would be a
Speaker 2: medical tool in and of itself.
Speaker 3: Yes, And what I like about GROC is the fact
Speaker 3: that they're open about what they're doing and why they
Speaker 3: want you to share the information. And sharing the information
Speaker 3: to GROC is voluntary, unlike the twelve page terms of
Speaker 3: service that you have to sign on the other things.
Speaker 4: Can you do it blindly or is does it know
Speaker 4: that it's my MRI.
Speaker 3: No, you can do it blindly. It goes on your account,
Speaker 3: let's say gotcha. But you know, it could be your dog,
Speaker 3: it could be your cousin, it could be anybody. So
Speaker 3: it seems in the beginning it's fully analyzed blood test results,
Speaker 3: and some users said it identified breast cancer, but it
Speaker 3: also grossly misinterpreted a bunch of other things. Some physician
Speaker 3: posted that they put a textbook case of tuberculosis up
Speaker 3: on GROC, and GROC said it was a herniated disc.
Speaker 2: So GROC is going to fail as medical boards at
Speaker 2: this point, not ray for prime time exactly.
Speaker 3: The bot also mistook a mammogram of benign breast cysts
Speaker 3: for an image of testicles. So so we have a
Speaker 3: little ways.
Speaker 4: To go with all of this.
Speaker 6: Tomato tomorrow, Yeah right, But I think that these has
Speaker 6: a second opinion will be valuable because we can't escape them.
Speaker 3: When you get your blood test results, right and your
Speaker 3: doctor gives you all that bolgoney from that, don't you
Speaker 3: jubble check it on the internet.
Speaker 4: And of course I look at the charts in the
Speaker 4: high range and low range.
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, my cholesterols in a higher range or
Speaker 2: whatever the numbers say.
Speaker 4: So I can understand for myself.
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, my cholesterol is only one hundred and
Speaker 3: thirty seven, but I have a problem with my small
Speaker 3: particles of some I don't know. You know, I'm not
Speaker 3: a doctor, so incomes GROC. And I'm not using GROC
Speaker 3: as an example because when the transparency comes to the
Speaker 3: other you can still upload all this stuff to chat
Speaker 3: GPT also they will do. But until there becomes one
Speaker 3: that becomes a specialist in the medical stuff, I really
Speaker 3: wouldn't be relying on it.
Speaker 4: No, no, no matter.
Speaker 3: And a lot of people are and it's valuable, and
Speaker 3: I plan on putting dental X rays up.
Speaker 4: You know something, you know, But is this any different?
Speaker 2: I know it is, but I think of it in
Speaker 2: terms of when we get some information, we get on
Speaker 2: web in d and we go down the WebMD hole
Speaker 2: and we think we're trying to self diagnose ourselves, and.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you take a look at that of what
Speaker 3: we're doing, you know, and after we got the blood test,
Speaker 3: like what we said, we do think of AI as
Speaker 3: your brain looking at the blood test. But it has
Speaker 3: a bazillion sources for it to look at and compare data,
Speaker 3: and don't it isn't slow like us with thinking or
Speaker 3: reading or listening. It can look at a bazillion sources
Speaker 3: and maybe eventually do the job and give you a
Speaker 3: good second opinion.
Speaker 2: Well, I've always thought of AI in the analogy of
Speaker 2: it's now in elementary school, and by the time it
Speaker 2: gets to high school, college, postgraduate, which may be literally
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen years from now, we may have something
Speaker 2: that can do what it was originally designed or hope.
Speaker 4: To do exactly.
Speaker 3: And the only way it can do that is by
Speaker 3: getting these things uploaded to them and seeing if they
Speaker 3: can read the diagnostic or something. I don't know how
Speaker 3: you can tell it it was wrong or anything.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: I think of this the AI in a conceptual sense.
Speaker 2: We were talking about Google lends. It looks at something,
Speaker 2: it identifies something, it relates it to something in its database.
Speaker 4: This is not all that different.
Speaker 2: If it looks at certain results, it can identify it
Speaker 2: and then relate it.
Speaker 3: A few years ago, before the pandemic, I was working
Speaker 3: with IBM and remember their famous computer.
Speaker 4: Watson, right Watson.
Speaker 3: Watson had a deal with the MD Anderson MD Anderson
Speaker 3: Cancer Hospital in Texas and they were going to use
Speaker 3: it for diagnostic purposes and just what I said, just
Speaker 3: what I said, they didn't have enough samples. They really
Speaker 3: didn't know what they were looking at. The project was
Speaker 3: abandoned eventually, and that was really sad because it could
Speaker 3: be a great tool in discovering cancers and things like that.
Speaker 2: I thought Watson was going to be the leader, maybe
Speaker 2: because I was sucked in by Jeopardy shows and which
Speaker 2: was beating everyone.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, IBM has a good PR department. But
Speaker 3: then again, Watson is we tossed in quantum computing, which
Speaker 3: I will save that for the new year to explain
Speaker 3: what quantum computing is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to leave all what we conventional computing
Speaker 4: in the disk.
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, but that's where Watson will go. I mean
Speaker 3: that would be Watson will be like a nineteen ninety
Speaker 3: five PC when it comes to quantum computing.
Speaker 2: I know, you remember the old IBM computers that were
Speaker 2: size of bookshelves and the tape, the analog tape was
Speaker 2: was running in them.
Speaker 3: One of my first jobs was in a place and
Speaker 3: they had keyboard. They had a room with just the computer.
Speaker 3: I think it was an IBM three sixty, I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: And they had these giant tapes and they had these
Speaker 3: stations where these people sat at the desk right, yes,
Speaker 3: And they had stacks of key punch cards which were
Speaker 3: about the size of a number ten envelope. It was
Speaker 3: a heavyweight card and there were holes punched in it,
Speaker 3: and the holes were punched in because these people would
Speaker 3: type in data and the proper holes would be punched
Speaker 3: in the card. So then a giant stack of these
Speaker 3: cards would be put in a hopper and they were
Speaker 3: into the computer. Did you like that?
Speaker 4: THO was more time? Got it? Okay?
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a sounder, right. But anyway they go into
Speaker 3: the computer, they'll be transferred to the tape and outwood
Speaker 3: come data and this would still be faster than anybody
Speaker 3: could do it without.
Speaker 4: That's what they use basically for the Moon missions exactly.
Speaker 4: There was more.
Speaker 3: Technology in iPhones and android phones maybe ten years ago
Speaker 3: than there was in the Redstone rocket that Alan Shepherd
Speaker 3: went up in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well look it's growing exponentially. Who knows what
Speaker 2: the technology and AI will look like in ten years,
Speaker 2: just ten years.
Speaker 3: But we're going to keep you posted on the fun
Speaker 3: stuff because really, you know, I'm no Einstein, that's the truth.
Speaker 2: But we'll go through this together. Martial Cargo is always
Speaker 2: great to see.
Speaker 3: Thank you Moe, and have a happy Thanksgiving everybody.
Speaker 4: Hey, are you coming out to pastathon on December third?
Speaker 4: We'll check you count check calendar because I don't know
Speaker 4: where it is.
Speaker 2: As long as the Anaheim White House, Okay, you know
Speaker 2: if you're going to be there.
Speaker 4: Yes, all of the KFI lineup will be there.
Speaker 3: I think maybe I think I need post.
Speaker 4: Which is the date again? December three, that's the day
Speaker 4: before my birthday. Yes, you'll be twenty four.
Speaker 3: Everybody can see that. If I show up, I'll see
Speaker 3: you soon.
Speaker 1: All righty, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
Speaker 1: demand from KFI AM six forty with.
Speaker 5: Moo Kelly on k.
Speaker 2: Six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and the headline
Speaker 2: is Lebron James, obviously superstar with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Speaker 2: He announced yesterday that he's leaving social media. It's unclear
Speaker 2: whether he's leaving it temporarily or if it's going to
Speaker 2: be permanently. He gave the indication that was probably going
Speaker 2: to be temporarily, but he's at least going to take
Speaker 2: a break from social media. He said that he was
Speaker 2: going to leave X but that's a part of his
Speaker 2: larger social media presence. He posts the most or did
Speaker 2: post the most on X Slash Twitter, and I know
Speaker 2: that he can be polarizing with some of his posts,
Speaker 2: but he said Lebron James said he's leaving due to
Speaker 2: the level of negativity. This is something that I have
Speaker 2: a complex view of Lebron James. I'm not necessarily his
Speaker 2: biggest fan in a basketball sense, but I can respect
Speaker 2: that he's one of the game's greatest players. This is
Speaker 2: year twenty two and he's still at the top of
Speaker 2: his game. He's one of the best to ever do it.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's one of the best Lakers because
Speaker 2: he hasn't been with the Lakers long enough to earn
Speaker 2: that distinction. He's only won one ring and I'm a
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson fan to the very end. But I can
Speaker 2: understand what he is saying, and I can understand on
Speaker 2: a very small level what he likely has been feeling,
Speaker 2: if only because if you are a public figure, or
Speaker 2: at least if you're on social media with your real name,
Speaker 2: your real face, and they know that you are the
Speaker 2: person monitoring that account, not just some publicists, not some
Speaker 2: intern there may be an addition to you, but they
Speaker 2: know that Lebron James looks at his own social media
Speaker 2: accounts the type of vitriol that you're going to receive from,
Speaker 2: in his case, millions of people who are nameless, faceless
Speaker 2: who don't have any reservation to say whatever they want
Speaker 2: about whom ever they want, including him, his son, family members, whatever.
Speaker 2: And if you've ever really been on social media, and
Speaker 2: I don't assume everyone has, but if you've ever been
Speaker 2: on social media, you know that there is no limit
Speaker 2: and there is no basement as to what people will say,
Speaker 2: and they'll do it under the cover of anonymity. And
Speaker 2: if you are a public figure like Lebron James, you
Speaker 2: cannot respond in the way that they've come at you.
Speaker 2: And I understand that on a very small level, because
Speaker 2: I know how people will come at me on social
Speaker 2: media at key right right, you'll find me on x
Speaker 2: at mister mo Kelly, or you won't. But the point
Speaker 2: is they'll hide their face, they'll hide their profile, or
Speaker 2: be a private profile, or be a fake picture, no bio,
Speaker 2: and they will say absolutely anything, knowing good and well,
Speaker 2: if they said it in person to either Lebron James
Speaker 2: or any reasonable individual, they would get knocked the f out.
Speaker 4: They would, they would.
Speaker 2: But you know, anonymity is almost like liquid courage, and
Speaker 2: it provides an opportunity for people to say things knowing
Speaker 2: that they're at going to reach the person that they
Speaker 2: wouldn't say normally. And we're all people, and after a
Speaker 2: certain point you may just get tired of it. I
Speaker 2: know that all the stuff that's been said to me,
Speaker 2: and I'm not some victim. I'm just saying, as a
Speaker 2: statement of fact, all the things which are said to me,
Speaker 2: I cannot respond in kind. At times i'd like to,
Speaker 2: and I can be very creative in how I respond,
Speaker 2: and I can have some fun with it, and sometimes
Speaker 2: I can tee you up. I can post what you
Speaker 2: say that I can come with some sort of witticism
Speaker 2: and return and then block you. But I cannot say
Speaker 2: the things that you say to me. Lebron James cannot
Speaker 2: say the things that you say to him. And just
Speaker 2: because you make millions and millions of dollars, it does
Speaker 2: not mean that you have some sort of right to
Speaker 2: say whatever you want to that person. It doesn't mean
Speaker 2: that because he or she is on social media that
Speaker 2: you and then are entitled to say whatever. Now I'm
Speaker 2: not saying this against the law. This is not a
Speaker 2: free speech conversation. This is a decency conversation. And I
Speaker 2: talk about this with Tula all the time. You are
Speaker 2: free in a legal sense to say just about whatever
Speaker 2: you want, whatever insult you want. Just know, especially with Tuala,
Speaker 2: if you say that same issue person, there's a freedom
Speaker 2: of response that free speech works both ways, and the
Speaker 2: response may not be what you want. I'll give you
Speaker 2: a perfect example. I could walk up to Mark Roner
Speaker 2: and say, hey, you a whole.
Speaker 4: You wouldn't dare I wouldn't. I wouldn't because I love
Speaker 4: you too much.
Speaker 2: But hypothetically, if I were to say hey, you a
Speaker 2: whole and then hit you in the face, you know
Speaker 2: I can control what I do, but I can't control
Speaker 2: how you would respond.
Speaker 7: I would turn the other cheek mom, not if you're driving.
Speaker 7: Oh I didn't say which cheek, Okay.
Speaker 2: My point is I understand why someone like Lebron James
Speaker 2: would take a step back and the common refrain that
Speaker 2: I hear is no need to announce you're leaving.
Speaker 4: This is not an airport. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I get that, and there is something to that, But
Speaker 2: at the same time, I don't begrudge him for doing
Speaker 2: it and saying it, if only because he's sending a
Speaker 2: message that sometimes it is too much and sometimes you
Speaker 2: think that it's okay to say whatever you want, however
Speaker 2: you want, about whomever you want to that person or
Speaker 2: the people in their family. But it does, it does
Speaker 2: pile up after a while, it does, and you can't
Speaker 2: have it both ways. You can't say in the sense
Speaker 2: of okay you want to. There is something I would
Speaker 2: say cool air quotes about having people that you can
Speaker 2: reach like a Lebron James, because twenty years ago, before
Speaker 2: social media, there's no way you'd ever be able to
Speaker 2: contact Lebron James. You can write a letter to the
Speaker 2: Lakers or something and maybe you guys get a response,
Speaker 2: you know, fan mail in a traditional sense.
Speaker 4: But now you can.
Speaker 2: Reach just about whoever you want, including politicians, entertainers, athletes,
Speaker 2: because of social media, because more times than not they
Speaker 2: actually maintain their own social media accounts. And you can
Speaker 2: have a conversation with Lebron James. He may not always
Speaker 2: acknowledge what you say, but there's a good chance that
Speaker 2: he may see what you've said. And people take that
Speaker 2: to the nth degree and they try to say the
Speaker 2: most outlandish things in the hopes that he'll either see
Speaker 2: it and or respond.
Speaker 4: If you're still.
Speaker 7: On Twitter, and I know you've left MO, but William
Speaker 7: Shatner is still on Twitter and he has been taking
Speaker 7: on assorted trolls and he has he has still got
Speaker 7: his wits about him one hundred percent. It's been really
Speaker 7: entertaining watching him take people down who think they're going
Speaker 7: to take a run at a ninety three year old man.
Speaker 2: And he has I would say, the blessing of being
Speaker 2: at a point in his life where there really aren't
Speaker 2: any consequences to anything that he does.
Speaker 4: He can say whatever he wants. You can't cancel him.
Speaker 2: It's not like you want to get his show canceled,
Speaker 2: to him kicked off of something.
Speaker 4: There's nothing for him to lose.
Speaker 7: Well, and he's just provoked by a bunch of morons
Speaker 7: who are nothing more than trolls. They're not even funny.
Speaker 7: They're just saying rude things because they can, and generally anonymously,
Speaker 7: which to me is just a massive mark of cowardice.
Speaker 7: Matter if you're coming at a public figure who everybody
Speaker 7: knows their name their identity and yours isn't public as well,
Speaker 7: you're a coward.
Speaker 4: I say it all the time, all the time.
Speaker 2: If you're going to talk mess to me, at least
Speaker 2: come with your real name, your real photo, and a
Speaker 2: public profile, because I'm doing it. At least meet me halfway.
Speaker 2: And I get any number of people who want to
Speaker 2: say some slick stuff on one of my social media pages,
Speaker 2: and I say, look, you can do that on your page.
Speaker 4: You can do whatever.
Speaker 2: You can say whatever you want about me, and I
Speaker 2: won't say anything on your page or even official KFI page,
Speaker 2: But if you come to my social media then you're
Speaker 2: gonna have to act like you have some home training
Speaker 2: in some manners.
Speaker 4: I'm being serious. It's not a lot to ask. It's
Speaker 4: not a lot.
Speaker 2: I am not going to provide a space for you
Speaker 2: to just come and insult me racially or otherwise. And
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to take it well because you know my
Speaker 2: page is public. No, my pages are public because they're
Speaker 2: for a friends, family, and if you happen to like
Speaker 2: what I do, beautiful, but that's not a license for
Speaker 2: you to act like an ass.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 7: I actually don't think the Internet should be anonymous.
Speaker 2: I'm waiting, and I know Clubhouse tried to do it
Speaker 2: to a certain degree. I'm waiting for these social media
Speaker 2: sites to actually require some sort of identity verification to
Speaker 2: get a profile, and that will be probably the best
Speaker 2: social media site. But social media platforms and providers they
Speaker 2: don't want to do that because it limits the amount
Speaker 2: of engagement, It limits the amount of users for all
Speaker 2: to talk about we hate bots controls. No, they don't,
Speaker 2: because they still want the unique users. They still want
Speaker 2: that interaction, they still want that movement of the platform.
Speaker 7: I think if enough people migrate away from the places
Speaker 7: that have just become sewers, and I wouldn't dream of
Speaker 7: naming any place in specific, they're gonna get the message
Speaker 7: sooner or later.
Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see. I mean, because they always talk
Speaker 2: about freedom of speech. Well, part of freedom of speech
Speaker 2: is freedom to leave. And people will leave and they
Speaker 2: will spend their time and their you know, and their
Speaker 2: energy in places that they feel is most beneficial or
Speaker 2: most enjoyable. You know, I have a problem with threads.
Speaker 2: Right now, you get on threads, everybody's asking a dumb
Speaker 2: ass question that they could have found out just two
Speaker 2: seconds of Google. It's like why is the sky blue?
Speaker 2: And they do it what they call rage bait, knowing
Speaker 2: that people are going to say, why the hell are
Speaker 2: you posting this? Why are you doing this dumb ish
Speaker 2: and so threads is just turned is i'll say, regressed
Speaker 2: into just stupid banter.
Speaker 7: So threads is nothing but that and AI generated MILFs
Speaker 7: as far as I can tell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's like, okay, this is not a real profile.
Speaker 2: This is just like five pictures you put up yesterday
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you want to know about me.
Speaker 4: Nah, not falling for it.

Speaker 4: But I'll do it for Deal.
Speaker 2: I'll do it for Deal before we finish up this hour,
Speaker 2: and I'll be joined on the line by Sarah Brightman,
Speaker 2: one of the greatest sopranos of all time, that's coming
Speaker 2: up at the top of the hour. Before we do that.
Speaker 2: Got to finish this conversation talking about social media. And
Speaker 2: I am understandably older than most when it comes to
Speaker 2: this social media generation.
Speaker 4: I came up prior to social media.
Speaker 2: I am much more aggressive when it comes to a holes.
Speaker 2: I just am and people say some stuff online they
Speaker 2: wouldn't dare say in person. If you want to have
Speaker 2: a discussion with me, and I can't speak for anyone else,
Speaker 2: if you want to have a discussion with me, it's like, well,
Speaker 2: I heard you say X, Y and Z and I
Speaker 2: really got a problem with that, or I think you're wrong.
Speaker 4: I am all for that.
Speaker 2: You can send me a direct message on Instagram or
Speaker 2: on Facebook and we can have that discussion. You can
Speaker 2: be snarky, you can be smart, alec good, But the
Speaker 2: moment you start with personal insults, we've crossed into a
Speaker 2: different type of interaction, really different.
Speaker 4: And I got to remind folks, you don't know me
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 2: I don't care if you hate everything. I have to say,
Speaker 2: you don't know me like that. And I don't speak
Speaker 2: to anyone directly. I have people reach out to me
Speaker 2: and say you said this and I was offended and
Speaker 2: you were talking about me, and.
Speaker 4: Say, I don't know who you are, dude. I talk
Speaker 4: about stuff.
Speaker 2: I talk about Lacity Council, I talk about homelessness, I
Speaker 2: talk about Metro. I'm not talking about any particular person
Speaker 2: or group, and I'm very conscious of that. I don't
Speaker 2: talk about groups of people that is not by coincidence,
Speaker 2: because I'm aware of how people can misinterpret that. I
Speaker 2: talk about people's specific people's behavior. I talk about Diddy
Speaker 2: and his specific behavior. I don't talk about a group
Speaker 2: of people I'm talking about him. I may talk about
Speaker 2: the methods employed by a group of people and I say, hey,
Speaker 2: when you're protesting this way or that way, it's ineffective.
Speaker 4: But I'm not insulting the group of people.
Speaker 2: But sometimes people take it very personally and they come
Speaker 2: at me on social media and they want to make
Speaker 2: personal remarks, usually Rachel.
Speaker 4: And here's something about that.
Speaker 2: Since I think about it, know that when you racially
Speaker 2: insult me, you're not only racially insulting me.
Speaker 4: That's inclusive of everyone who looks like me.
Speaker 2: That's inclusive of my mother, that's inclusive of my sister,
Speaker 2: that's the inclusive of Tuola Sharp, that's an inclusive of
Speaker 2: everyone in my family friends. So you have to remember
Speaker 2: if you want to go there with me, it's going
Speaker 2: to be received very differently. You're not only talking about me,
Speaker 2: and I only ask for a modicum of respect.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 2: We can debate, we can disagree, but once you start
Speaker 2: with personal insults, Stefani'll tell you block immediate Moe.
Speaker 4: You are such a freaking block, you know, oh Tuala.
Speaker 2: Remember the time where you had someone inbox you saying
Speaker 2: that you need to like whop my ass to get
Speaker 2: myself in shade.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah. There have been too many occasions
Speaker 5: where people have gotten beside themselves. I remember one classic
Speaker 5: moment where someone was hurling insults behind a fake profile,
Speaker 5: and the threats that this individual received and were turned
Speaker 5: were such that he was very uncomfortable. And when you said,
Speaker 5: I dare you, I dare you put up a real
Speaker 5: profile so I can see who I'm talking to. And
Speaker 5: he eventually put up a photo, his real photo of himself,
Speaker 5: and he was differently abled. He was in a wheelchair,
Speaker 5: and this, that and the other, and it's like, come
Speaker 5: and say that in my face. And I think its
Speaker 5: response was that's very rude. I can't I remember that.
Speaker 5: Yeah that, And it was like, now you see, now
Speaker 5: you see how it really is when you really really
Speaker 5: try to tell when you want to cross that line,
Speaker 5: and as you see all the time, turn me back
Speaker 5: into the old meat. Yeah, then it's a different story.
Speaker 5: That's why I'm off at. I can't even enjoy your
Speaker 5: witty comebacks anymore because I get too amped up.
Speaker 4: Social media is not for people like us. It's just
Speaker 4: not Yeah, people.
Speaker 2: Don't know me like that. I'm the person who's been
Speaker 2: had his life threatened. Who would go to music industry
Speaker 2: events and shooting may pop off. It's like the social
Speaker 2: media does not phase me. If you have something to
Speaker 2: say to me, then we can talk about it as men.
Speaker 2: But I that's the thing I couldn't deal with X
Speaker 2: because someone always has something to say anonymously about some
Speaker 2: stuff that usually wasn't even true, making up stuff saying
Speaker 2: well you said this, No I didn't, Yes, you did.
Speaker 2: I have a damn podcast. This is not a debate.
Speaker 2: This is not a debate. That was always my favorite
Speaker 2: when they would accuse you of saying something when you
Speaker 2: were not even on the air at that time.
Speaker 4: Oh that's even different. You know that. I look, I
Speaker 4: sailed this to say.
Speaker 2: I understand why Lebron James may say, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm going to take a step back.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take a step back. And you can call
Speaker 4: him a cowward, you can call him anything.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if you had to deal with what
Speaker 2: someone like Lebron James had to deal with, and you
Speaker 2: had to use your real face, your real name, you
Speaker 2: probably would change some of your real behavior. It's later
