Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty The Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app Big You Music executive. Eugene Henlee
Speaker 1: Junior is in Costady, accused of running a mafia like operation.
Speaker 1: Due in court at about one point thirty this afternoon
Speaker 1: downtown at the Federal Courthouse. Arrested by federal authorities yesterday.
Speaker 1: He is a guy who makes no connections that he
Speaker 1: was with the Rolling Sixties, but that he is a
Speaker 1: community activist now he is a gang interventionist.
Speaker 2: They say he's been running a criminal.
Speaker 1: Enterprise, accused of being behind a series of racketeering crimes, extortion,
Speaker 1: human trafficking, fraud and murder going back just about four
Speaker 1: years ago. Two other alleged members were also arrested yesterday
Speaker 1: faced similar accusations.
Speaker 2: But it's a big story.
Speaker 1: He is a very big deal in South LA very
Speaker 1: big business deal there as well, So we'll see what
Speaker 1: happened there. The old RICO violations is what they go
Speaker 1: after gang members.
Speaker 3: With Ncuba tournament has started. We've seen a bunch of
Speaker 3: games get underway. They've been going for a couple of
Speaker 3: hours now and it's going to be weeks of this
Speaker 3: before we get down to the final four, and then
Speaker 3: of course the NCAA Championship. Quick baseball news. The Angels
Speaker 3: are going to try everything to not pile on another
Speaker 3: losing season. Ron Washington, the new manager, has suggested that
Speaker 3: there are no cell phones in the clubhouse period. Really
Speaker 3: no cell phones in the clubhouse.
Speaker 1: He did this when he was with Texas, So I've
Speaker 1: been wondering about this. There's no cell phones allowed on
Speaker 1: the field.
Speaker 2: I assume. I just know that's a league run.
Speaker 1: I just know for football, players are not allowed to
Speaker 1: have football cell phones on the field. If you have
Speaker 1: a cell phone in your business capacity, use it put away.
Speaker 1: It's not supposed to just have them, like you're not
Speaker 1: supposed to.
Speaker 2: Be playing candy Crush or whatever.
Speaker 1: And I've been wondering about how cell phones are going
Speaker 1: to work in team meetings and the locker room, all
Speaker 1: of that. I wondered that for a long time, not
Speaker 1: just in professional sports, but across the board. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about kids putting away their phones
Speaker 1: when they get to school and after and how that's
Speaker 1: kind of everyone's working their way through that.
Speaker 2: And it's been put into place in some places.
Speaker 1: Wondering, well, think about the productivity, loss money, real money
Speaker 1: lost with people's distractions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're saying, the team veterans are the ones who
Speaker 3: are going to be in charge of enforcing the rules.
Speaker 3: So guys like Mike Trout been there for a long time,
Speaker 3: he said. Ron Washington, excuse me, said that he had
Speaker 3: a similar rule when he managed the Texas Rangers, and
Speaker 3: he noticed right away the team coalesces. The team just
Speaker 3: interacts like guys are supposed to interact in a locker
Speaker 3: room in a clubhouse, right, So he hopes that that
Speaker 3: makes a difference. Boston Celtics also have been sold in
Speaker 3: what is the largest sale for a sports franchise. Doesn't
Speaker 3: mean they're the most valuable, but six point one billion
Speaker 3: dollars for the Boston Celtics eclipses the purchase of the
Speaker 3: Washington Commanders, which was just just under that at six
Speaker 3: point oh five billion.
Speaker 2: It's weird when you think about clubs being sold.
Speaker 1: Do you think about like clubs that are in trouble
Speaker 1: And when I got that alert, it's like Celtics. So
Speaker 1: what like when you think of like the stalwarts of
Speaker 1: sports ownership or whatever, you think of like Boston Lake
Speaker 1: or you know, a Yankees.
Speaker 2: It was the Minnesota Timberwolves. You wouldn't have blinked, right
Speaker 2: or the commanders or the.
Speaker 3: Commanders Yeah not you know, not the highest echelon, but
Speaker 3: what a history.
Speaker 2: It is time for swamp watch. I'm a politician, which
Speaker 2: means I'm a cheat and a liar. And when I'm
Speaker 2: not kissing babies, I'm stealing the lollipops.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got.
Speaker 5: The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 2: The other side never quits. So what I'm not going anywhere?
Speaker 4: So does how you train the squat?
Speaker 2: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
Speaker 2: what has been. You know, Americans have always been gone at.
Speaker 2: They're not stupid.
Speaker 3: A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2: Who haven't people voted for you with not swamp watch,
Speaker 2: They're all countered.
Speaker 3: Well about one o'clock today, our time is when President
Speaker 3: Trump is expected to sign this long anticipated executive order
Speaker 3: that will shut down or aims to shut down, the
Speaker 3: Department of Education, following through on a promise that he
Speaker 3: made during the campaign. Even before this is signed as
Speaker 3: an executive order, it has been challenged by a group
Speaker 3: of Democratic states attorney general. State attorneys general sorry filed
Speaker 3: the lawsuit trying to block the Trump administration from dismantling
Speaker 3: the department. NAACP has also said this is an unconstitutional plan.
Speaker 3: Derek Johnson, is the NAACP president, said this is a
Speaker 3: dark day for the million of American children who depend
Speaker 3: on federal funding for equality education. This doesn't this doesn't
Speaker 3: take away.
Speaker 2: I say this.
Speaker 3: It doesn't end funding for education. It gets the federal
Speaker 3: government out of the business of funding education and puts
Speaker 3: everything or would force everything down to the state and
Speaker 3: local levels. Trump cannot do this without congressional legislation. That
Speaker 3: is where this thing is going to be held up.
Speaker 3: It looks like Republicans do hold a majority in the
Speaker 3: Senate obviously fifty three forty seven, but major legislation like this,
Speaker 3: a bill that would eliminate a cabinet level agency, you're
Speaker 3: going to need sixty votes, So you're gonna have a
Speaker 3: hard time. First of all, you're gonna have a hard
Speaker 3: time convincing all the Republicans even to vote for this thing,
Speaker 3: and then you got to get a handful of Democrats
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: Reagan tried this Reagan tried this in eighty one. Carter
Speaker 1: established this in eighty seventy nine. Eighty Reagan wanted to
Speaker 1: get rid of this. It was a campaign promise, if
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, but he didn't have the votes in
Speaker 1: Congress because the Democrats were never going to go for this.
Speaker 2: I believe it was a democratically controlled house. I don't know,
Speaker 2: don't fact check me.
Speaker 1: I was diverse, but this was what you were going
Speaker 1: to see with Trump controlling the whole damn thing. You know,
Speaker 1: the Republicans having the White House, a Senate in the House,
Speaker 1: there's a much greater chance that they're going to be
Speaker 1: able to get all of their stuff accomplished within the
Speaker 1: next three years.
Speaker 3: He has loved saying the term mandate that Trump believes
Speaker 3: that he was given a mandate to do all of
Speaker 3: these things, and you could make the argument, I'm I'm
Speaker 3: not going to put up a much of an argument
Speaker 3: against you if you believe that, But the mandate does
Speaker 3: not allow him to skirt the constitution. The mandate is
Speaker 3: we're going to do all the things that we can,
Speaker 3: as he has with the dozens of executive orders that
Speaker 3: he signed since January twentieth, but there is still checks
Speaker 3: and or there are still checks in ballots in this
Speaker 3: form of government that we have. So it's not like
Speaker 3: I said, it would have to go through Congress before
Speaker 3: you eliminate the Department of Education.
Speaker 2: That looks unlikely.
Speaker 1: Gross story out a Grand Rapids where a state senator
Speaker 1: responded to an online ad for sex agreed to meet
Speaker 1: a seventeen year old girl in person. Thankfully it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was actually an undercover officer. But this guy, state senator,
Speaker 1: Justin Iicorn arrested Grand Rapids Republican. His line was, when
Speaker 1: do yeah, why a when do you turn? Eighteen? De disgusting,
Speaker 1: Like we've talked about, like eighteen is even like I
Speaker 1: get it, it's the legal number, but like, look at
Speaker 1: a seventeen year old girl and look at an eighteen
Speaker 1: year old girl.
Speaker 2: There's no difference. You should know that that's gross. I
Speaker 2: that is gross. It's gross. As a grown man, that
Speaker 2: is gross.
Speaker 3: You said earlier this week that I had teenage girls.
Speaker 2: In my house. You did. They were related, they were related,
Speaker 2: they were nieces, they were voluntarily there.
Speaker 3: But even I am super careful around stuff like this,
Speaker 3: only because I don't want it to ever be misconstrued.
Speaker 3: How in the world do you go, what's wrong with
Speaker 3: your brain that you would write something like.
Speaker 1: That, that you'd want that, I mean a child.
Speaker 2: It's disgusting.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: There is a successful CEO turned disruptor that's running a
Speaker 1: million dollar March Madness bracket challenge, or.
Speaker 3: Use that term disruptive. Disruptor is that the new influencer.
Speaker 1: A disruptor is somebody who likes to move fast and
Speaker 1: break things right. Very big in Silicon Valley anyway. They're
Speaker 1: running a million dollar March Madness bracket challenge that pits
Speaker 1: his AI programmers picks against those belonging to one of
Speaker 1: the world's best known sports gamblers for CE predictions. CEO
Speaker 1: Alan Levy says he's willing to wager the million dollars
Speaker 1: because he's convinced the data crunching his AI programmers can
Speaker 1: do is better than what gambler Sean Perry can produce.
Speaker 1: His AI program picks Houston to win it all. Sean
Speaker 1: Perry is going with.
Speaker 3: Duke, Okay, you're gonna put money on that, though, I mean,
Speaker 3: the guy probably invested a lot of money.
Speaker 2: He put a million dollars on it. Okay, yeah, I
Speaker 2: guess that's a lot. I mean, if you're into that
Speaker 2: sort of a thing.
Speaker 3: State Senator Justin Eikorn is a guy who's been arrested
Speaker 3: in a Grand Rapids Republican responded to an online advertisement
Speaker 3: for sex and agreed to meet a seventeen year old
Speaker 3: girl in person. And as you said before the break,
Speaker 3: it's a good thing, it wasn't a seventeen year old girl.
Speaker 3: In fact, it was an undercover officer. He's been charged
Speaker 3: in a federal criminal complaint one count of attempted coercion
Speaker 3: enticement of a minor, one count of allegedly attempting to
Speaker 3: hire a prostitute under eighteen but at least sixteen. I
Speaker 3: didn't know there was a that's a very specific law.
Speaker 3: The state charge was later dropped following the federal charge,
Speaker 3: which is going to carry a higher sentence if he's convicted.
Speaker 1: The World Happiness Report is out and it shows that
Speaker 1: we have fallen. We're actually in the lowest spot ever
Speaker 1: on the list. Who is at the top, the people
Speaker 1: who are always at the top of Scandinavians, Finland, remains
Speaker 1: the happiest nation for the eighth year in a row.
Speaker 1: Mexico and Costa Rica top ten or a. CBS News
Speaker 1: writes it up Costa Rico, Okay, cool, CBS. No wonder
Speaker 1: AI is coming to take your freaking job?
Speaker 4: Isn't?
Speaker 2: Doesn't happiness come from within?
Speaker 6: Are you?
Speaker 2: A happiness comes from within person. I can be happy
Speaker 2: in men.
Speaker 3: I think some situation or many down situations, but I
Speaker 3: can also be I would assume everybody could be down
Speaker 3: when everybody else is having a good time.
Speaker 1: I heard a story, read an article. Somebody said to me,
Speaker 1: I don't know where it came from, but it was
Speaker 1: about money making you happy, and money stops making you happy.
Speaker 1: According to science, when your needs are met, essentially your
Speaker 1: your bills can be paid. You know you have a
Speaker 1: You're not worried about money in terms of a roof
Speaker 1: over your head, food on the table, getting to and
Speaker 1: from work, a job, a little extra for elective spending.
Speaker 2: Then then it's done.
Speaker 1: It's done its job when it comes to happiness essentially
Speaker 1: a science and everyone's saying no, But I'd be so
Speaker 1: much happier if I had a vacation on a yacht
Speaker 1: in the Mediterranean. Okay, well, then think about what goes
Speaker 1: along with that.
Speaker 3: But if you had a vacation alone on a new
Speaker 3: yacht Adrane loanly so, then there goes your happiness exactly.
Speaker 2: There's a lot more to say. You could bring your friends.
Speaker 1: Then you're sitting on your yacht going are they only
Speaker 1: my friends because I brought them on this yacht? Say
Speaker 1: you're with your family? Am I spoiling my kids because
Speaker 1: I brought them on this yacht? I mean, think about it,
Speaker 1: like the whole mo money more problems. And maybe that's
Speaker 1: an exaggerated hypothetical, but it kind of makes sense when
Speaker 1: you put it like that that if you're just relying
Speaker 1: on money for happiness, kind of it stops making you
Speaker 1: officially happy when it.
Speaker 2: Stops making you stressed about not having it. That's probably
Speaker 2: an obvious thing.
Speaker 3: One of the less obvious things they point out in
Speaker 3: this study is that the percentage of people who eat
Speaker 3: alone really that dining has always meant been meant to
Speaker 3: be shared, to be shared, be shared, going all the
Speaker 3: way back to the Bible, the last supper, you're supposed
Speaker 3: you're supposed to be surrounded by people.
Speaker 2: Break bread with rape, bread with people. There's a reason
Speaker 2: that we do that.
Speaker 3: So they said, about one in four Americans report eating
Speaker 3: all of their meals alone.
Speaker 2: The previous day. Really about a quarter of people.
Speaker 1: And that has to do with your happiness. Huh, if
Speaker 1: you eat alone, you're less likely to be happy. I
Speaker 1: would have never guessed.
Speaker 3: That dining alone has become more prevalent for every age group,
Speaker 3: but especially for young people. Again, we talk about the
Speaker 3: phones and the ubiquity of phones, So you can eat
Speaker 3: alone and still be finger quotes connected. I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: you could still do something while you're eating, as opposed
Speaker 3: to just sitting down and what talking with someone.
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, how much of it
Speaker 1: is about eating with someone versus having face time with
Speaker 1: someone for a half an hour, Because like, I'm a
Speaker 1: fast eater. It takes me about four minutes to eat
Speaker 1: a meal. I've seen it, and so that's not that.
Speaker 1: But I can understand the value of a face to
Speaker 1: face conversation. Communication with people are just being with someone
Speaker 1: in the same space face to face.
Speaker 2: Well, and meals used to be that thing.
Speaker 3: Meals used to be the reason that was the only
Speaker 3: time that my dad and I would sit at the
Speaker 3: same table or the only time that my sisters and
Speaker 3: I and my parents would all be in the same place.
Speaker 1: I guess that's the vehicles for togetherness, right, Yeah. It
Speaker 1: doesn't have to do with the food per se.
Speaker 3: It's just that's it said that the report indicates major
Speaker 3: differences in the rates of meal sharing around the world
Speaker 3: and that the sharing of those meals has a very
Speaker 3: positive effect.
Speaker 2: On well being another one.
Speaker 3: Another factor that contributed to America being way down in
Speaker 3: the rankings was the rise in political polarization and votes
Speaker 3: against quote the system that the evolution of happiness and
Speaker 3: trust is highly associated with the rise in the likelihood
Speaker 3: of voting for anti system parties in Western Europe and
Speaker 3: the United's funny.
Speaker 1: It's like when I'm having a conversation with someone and
Speaker 1: I'm getting those benefits of having a conversation with someone,
Speaker 1: and then as soon as politics come in, it takes
Speaker 1: a sharp left in my mind, sharp left, and then
Speaker 1: I want the conversation to be able.
Speaker 3: It's such a poison pill. It it's such a cupful
Speaker 3: of bleach in a bucket.
Speaker 1: No matter what it is, it just makes me feel
Speaker 1: no matter if it's a Republican or a Democrat, or anybody.
Speaker 2: It just goes ooh yeah.
Speaker 1: See don't now, I don't want to happen. Now all
Speaker 1: the built up goodwill of happiness is ended.
Speaker 3: From top to bottom. Happiest nations, Yeah, Finland is number one.
Speaker 3: Hel stink Gate, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Netherlands, Coasta, Rica, Norway, Israel, Luxembourg, Mexico, Australia,
Speaker 3: New Zealand, Switzerland, Belgium, Ireland, Lithuania, Austria, Canada, Slovenia, and
Speaker 3: the Czech Republic.
Speaker 2: Tech Talk when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 1: Six forty stories we are following for you Today, a
Speaker 1: new deadline has passed for the DOJ to provide details
Speaker 1: on deportation flights. Federal judge gave the Department of Justice
Speaker 1: until about nine am our time today to provide more
Speaker 1: details on the flights carrying those alleged to Venezuelan gang members.
Speaker 1: Latest legal back and forth between the White House and
Speaker 1: the judge. The judge claimed he is the authority to
Speaker 1: pause the flights. Trump says he should be impeached. It's
Speaker 1: a whole thing's a to do, a to do. Even
Speaker 1: Chief Justice John Roberts has waged in and said it's
Speaker 1: a to do. I don't think that's what he said.
Speaker 1: Now it's time for tech Talk.
Speaker 4: The machines are getting smarter.
Speaker 5: This is tech Talk, brought to you by Skynet.
Speaker 3: Mark Saltzman is joining us to talk all of things technology.
Speaker 4: Mark.
Speaker 3: I saw a video from a Chinese mall. I think
Speaker 3: it's what it was from. A couple of the mannequins
Speaker 3: were actually bipedal robots that were running on treadmills, wearing
Speaker 3: the clothing that was being sold in the store. It
Speaker 3: was very disconcerting, very terrifying, unbelievably weird looking.
Speaker 7: I was in Japan a couple of years ago, and
Speaker 7: they had robots walking around, bipedal humanoid robots walking around
Speaker 7: as if they were just you know, mingling with regular pedestrians.
Speaker 7: I don't know what kind of AI was was inside,
Speaker 7: what was going on, but it's like people didn't even
Speaker 7: blink an eye. It was just, you know, it's a
Speaker 7: normal everyday life just walking along with the robots.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so China.
Speaker 7: So this is interesting what we're seeing right now in
Speaker 7: the AI world with you know, chatch Ept and Google
Speaker 7: Gemini and Microsoft's co Pilot and Grock from Elon Musk's
Speaker 7: companies trying to raise you know, billions and billions of dollars,
Speaker 7: and then a Chinese company like deep Seat comes in
Speaker 7: that says I can do this, We can do this
Speaker 7: for a lot less and fewer resources and all that,
Speaker 7: and it causes the you know, the investors here to
Speaker 7: freak out. Same thing is happening with robots, right. I mean,
Speaker 7: En Video's CEO Jensen Huang just talked. You know, this
Speaker 7: is the the CEO of a three trillion dollar company
Speaker 7: who just yesterday in San Jose wowed the crowds with
Speaker 7: these robots. And you know, similarly there's Boston Dynamics and
Speaker 7: and Elon Musk's Tesla or Optimist. But a Chinese company
Speaker 7: has a sixteen thousand dollars robot that appears to be
Speaker 7: as agile and as intelligent as what these American companies
Speaker 7: are building at The company is called Unitry, and the
Speaker 7: H one robot is again just I say just, but
Speaker 7: just sixteen thousand to start, when in Video yesterday they
Speaker 7: were saying that their robots are going to be probably
Speaker 7: about one hundred thousand to start.
Speaker 4: Which you know, that's a big difference.
Speaker 7: So we're gonna this is gonna be the next, the
Speaker 7: next gold Rush, the next you know war tech war
Speaker 7: between countries. Is you know, how fast and how inexpensively
Speaker 7: can they produce these humanoid robots?
Speaker 4: You know, it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 3: What do you think would be the first real use
Speaker 3: for for humanoid robots like this now? And I don't
Speaker 3: mean manufacturing, I mean what what would we use them for?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Around the house, household tasks things like that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so humanoid robots in the home would be domestic helpers. Correct,
Speaker 7: So I do, by the way, I know you were saying,
Speaker 7: not including manufacturing, that will be the first wave, which
Speaker 7: we've already started to see happen. But once that look
Speaker 7: like humans are starting to be used now by Mercedes,
Speaker 7: Benz and Amazon.
Speaker 4: When I was in.
Speaker 7: Seattle last year, I saw robots working in the factories.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yep.
Speaker 4: I did see that. I shot some videos for social
Speaker 4: on that.
Speaker 7: But yeah, in the home, it will be you know, cleaning,
Speaker 7: it'll be you know, cooking breakfast, cleaning up after breakfast,
Speaker 7: getting the kids off to school, reminding you of appointments,
Speaker 7: and things like that surveillance.
Speaker 4: I mean, really, it's going to be able.
Speaker 7: To do virtually everything we've You'll always have the dedicated
Speaker 7: bots like the room Buzz and the husk Varnas for
Speaker 7: cutting your lawn and things like that.
Speaker 2: I love a good husk varna.
Speaker 4: You just like saying that name.
Speaker 2: I used to sell those.
Speaker 7: Oh did you really they've been doing you thirty years.
Speaker 7: People think it's brand new, But what's the only newer.
Speaker 7: The newest part of that is that you don't need
Speaker 7: a ground wire anymore. You may remember, Shannon that you
Speaker 7: had to install a perimeter wire right under the ground
Speaker 7: so your neighbors wouldn't lift it.
Speaker 4: But that's it's getting smarter.
Speaker 7: But no, back to the the bipedal ones is you
Speaker 7: know there's they're being used for companionship in retirement homes
Speaker 7: overseas again in Asia primarily we're starting to see robots, don't.
Speaker 1: I said over Eva the robot right, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: Crazy like they they'll bring you your pills.
Speaker 7: They'll ask you to tell tell you, tell me about
Speaker 7: your the town that you grew up in, you know,
Speaker 7: show you pictures of the kids on their on their hands.
Speaker 4: It'll be a screen in their hands. So yeah, it's
Speaker 4: pretty wild. I do think. I'll go on record. I've
Speaker 4: been covering tech for thirty years.
Speaker 7: I'll go on record by saying that if the Internet
Speaker 7: was the biggest thing that happen in our generation, robots
Speaker 7: will be the next big thing in our kids generation,
Speaker 7: without question. And that's going to be a culmination of
Speaker 7: other technologies like AI and engineering and computing. So we're
Speaker 7: going to need the chips from the end videos and
Speaker 7: the intels and the qual comms. So we're going to
Speaker 7: need the AI and the processing. We're going to need
Speaker 7: the cloud infrastructure because it's going to be tied to
Speaker 7: something out not in your home, but some cloud platform
Speaker 7: like Amazon Aws or what have you.
Speaker 4: It's going to get pretty wild and pretty fast.
Speaker 7: So the prediction yesterday by Jensen, I know we got
Speaker 7: to wrap up is that it's going to be less
Speaker 7: than five years away before we see humanoid robots wandering
Speaker 7: around in North America. We are already starting to see
Speaker 7: that in Asia. But yeah, the big first movement will
Speaker 7: be in manufacturing. For obvious reasons. They can do things
Speaker 7: that humans can't. They don't take sick days, they won't
Speaker 7: get injured, no long term disability to pay any of
Speaker 7: these folks that do get injured on the line. But
Speaker 7: then we're going to start seeing them more in the
Speaker 7: home as they become more affordable, and thanks to China,
Speaker 7: maybe sooner than later.
Speaker 3: Just mechanically speaking, I think one of the more disturbing
Speaker 3: images that I saw was of that Atlas robot from
Speaker 3: Boston Dynamics, where it's it's a humanoid looking robot, but
Speaker 3: there's no limitations to its movements. Whereas you and I
Speaker 3: can turn our head from one side to the other,
Speaker 3: this thing just spins its head around like it's freaking
Speaker 3: something from the Exorcist. It's waste. It'll spin its or
Speaker 3: its arms or like it's it's so it's.
Speaker 4: Just trying to show what they can do.
Speaker 7: I don't see any real applications for that, unless there's
Speaker 7: going to be robot Olympics.
Speaker 2: What if you put a machine gun somewhere in that guy'.
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's going to be another all kidding side.
Speaker 7: That is going to be another application is instead of
Speaker 7: putting our sons and daughters on the front lines of war,
Speaker 7: why not use robots.
Speaker 4: I know it sounds like sci fi, but we will
Speaker 4: get there.
Speaker 2: Coming with that question.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And hey, on a related note, the new Black Mirror
Speaker 7: episode drops April ten. Yeah, I saw the trailer. I'm
Speaker 7: so stoked. I love that show. I love that I'm
Speaker 7: a huge twilight Zone fan and I'm a techie. So
Speaker 7: when you put the two together, yeah, sign me very cool.
Speaker 2: Do you watch Severance? Yeah, of course, yeah, okay.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, but no spoilers. I've lost you last couple episodes.
Speaker 1: I'm a twilight Zone officionado as well, and what twilight
Speaker 1: Zone was able to do in twenty two minutes is
Speaker 1: remarkable when you look at Severance. I mean I just
Speaker 1: watched season one and the build up and yeah, and
Speaker 1: it takes a great amount of time to get you
Speaker 1: that invested. I feel like that was something the twilight
Speaker 1: Zone could get you into, like within seconds. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and you were. Yeah, it was just it makes it
Speaker 1: even cooler. And I'm not putting down Severance or Black Mirror.
Speaker 1: It just makes twilight Zone even.
Speaker 4: Better to me.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Fifty years since Rod's certinly passed away. Yeah, seventy five,
Speaker 7: incredibly five he died. Yeah, great time, great stuff. As always,
Speaker 7: Thanks guys, Well chat next week.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Mark Saltzman there to make sure you follow him on
Speaker 3: x M a arc underscore Saltsman coming back. More of
Speaker 3: the craziest things that you've put in your carry on luggage.
Speaker 2: Or your check bag.
Speaker 1: The look on your face right now tells me that
Speaker 1: you're disappointed in what you're hearing over there a little bit.
