Starting point is 00:00:36 If your significant other were to have been, oh, I don't know, abducted by aliens, would you go after them? Would you find a way to go after your significant other if they were abducted by aliens? Now, of course, this is promoing, you know, the new movie. the Lumina movie, which follows four friends as they embark on a mission to help one of their own find their significant other who's been unexpectedly abducted by aliens. Do you expect to be abducted by aliens? I guess you do if you're in search of. And what they discover along the way is beyond anything they could have ever imagined, Lumina. I believe it opens July 12th. But the question was
Starting point is 00:01:24 asked, would you save your loved one from being? abducted by aliens. Would you risk your life saving a loved one from being abducted by aliens? 57% were willing to take the leap. The other 43%
Starting point is 00:01:43 I need to think about it. I would ask, are they really a loved one? If you have to think about it. At least At least 57% said, yeah, absolutely. We have to take the leap and go find them. The other 42%, eh, you know, I'd have to think about it for a minute or two. If you have to think about it, you're not doing it.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So are you ready to give up your smartphone yet? Your cell phone? I don't know. That's a tough one. I know. I was trying to think the other day, you know, what life was,
Starting point is 00:02:33 Somebody sent me a picture of me 100 years ago, and it got me thinking that, wow, back then there were no, there was no cell phone devices that you were carrying with you at all times. And then I see where Pennsylvania has become the first day to spearhead a program for students to have their smartphones locked away during the school day. I don't know that that's such a bad idea. according to the studies, the smartphones present a big distraction for students when it comes to learning in school. And the smartphones also play a role in students' mental health.
Starting point is 00:03:12 So the Pennsylvania Senate Education Committee has agreed for a pilot program that's going to provide certain schools throughout the state with lockable bags that will hold students' smartphones until the end of the school day. And the grant program would also give education employees locks to store smartphones. in as well. Yeah, they should be doing it as well. Additionally, the proposed legislation would implement a performance review of the smartphone storage plan, monitoring and tracking academic achievement and students' mental health over the two years to see how effective the program is. Interesting. And then I see a story that talks about how people are dumping their smartphone to go to
Starting point is 00:03:54 the dumb phones that you only call and text to a little. avoid, you know, having amounting, wasting time with your smartphone. So apparently, they've sold 2.8 million in the U.S. last year, and people proclaiming they feel calmer and more present in their ordinary lives. One woman talked about how she made the switch after realizing she spent the entire summer on her smartphone, saying she barely remembered the time she even forgot where she walked her dog. I guess that's the Smart phones fault. Okay, so she switched to a dumb phone,
Starting point is 00:04:33 and so more and more people just want a phone that they can call and text from for, you know, emergencies or to get in touch with someone. I read a story about Woody Harrelson, the actor, who explained why he doesn't even carry a cell phone. Now, some people, and I'm sure Woody is in this field from time to time, with his entourage, his due people, where they carry the phones so he can pretend,
Starting point is 00:04:59 like he doesn't have a cell phone. I'm aware of people like that. However, Woody said that he just got tired of having the, what was his line? I don't like the appendage on my appendage. I like to be in touch with people in a way, but I don't like the appendage on my appendage. So he said it wasn't really true. He did have a complicated relationship with the technology after observing certain habits. I just don't like to have, you know, to be readily available to any human being at any time.
Starting point is 00:05:37 So now he said what he does is he sets a limit on his phone. So he doesn't, for the last three and a half years, he uses it for a couple hours a day. That's it. Two hours. And he said, I've already, when I hit my limit, I just, I just, I had enough. I've got to put it away. And he said, you know how it goes? You hit your limit, and then you just keep going and going.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And he doesn't like that, so he doesn't do that now. He sets the limit and boom. And one of the people interviewing Woody said that it was her kids who had pointed out to her how excessive her phone usage was. And, I mean, we all have that, right? I mean, when you're using your phone and a family member comes up and starts talking to you, so you look up from your phone. and you talk to them, or at least you should.
Starting point is 00:06:30 And you shouldn't say, hold on, I've got to finish what I'm doing on my phone. But that's rare in today's world, right? I mean, you're just, if you're writing a text or you're posting something on social media, you feel like that has to be done first before the connection with the human being that's right in front of you. I am very very cognizant of when someone is talking to me and I put down the phone so that I don't look at it while I'm talking to them.
Starting point is 00:07:06 I don't know that that really helps. In today's world, man, giving up the phone, that's my computer. I do my work on that phone. So much of my work is done from the phone and it's be very difficult for me to give it up. I could. I could and go back to just using a, you know, a desktop computer and a laptop.
Starting point is 00:07:29 But now I have the availability not to use the desktop or the laptop I can use my phone, which, you know, I've found to be so much better because it's more comfortable and such a device. It's right there. And it can do everything for me. It's right there. It's my friend. So, I mean, I, I, I. I don't know, you know, what works for you, works for you, no question.
Starting point is 00:07:54 I don't know that I'm quite ready to give up the smartphone for the dumb phone, but I sure, I would, I don't mind the idea of the kids giving it up during school. And I know you're going to have the argument. It's safety. What if something bad happens? Well, we've seen that if something bad happens, I don't necessarily think the smartphone is, you know, has saved. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I don't know. You can make the argument either way. It'd be interesting to see what happens in this study, this pilot program in Pennsylvania. They're probably not going to be the first to try this because there's so many distractions with the smartphones that when you're, you know, in an education surrounding, educational surrounding, You don't want those distractions. And I would hope that the teachers do it as well. Because while the kids are working on a project, I'm sure in today's world the teachers are looking at their phone
Starting point is 00:08:58 when you're setting a bad example for those children. So give it up. Just go back to the dumb phone, okay? No, I'm just going to put it in the drawer here and not look at it for a while, okay? Okay, good luck. It's the matchat or the three ensemble Cicot of Cephora of the FACET that I've been to deniches
Starting point is 00:09:32 that's energize O'Tan? Mm, it's the ensemble. The format standard and mini regrouped, that's all over. And I know, I'm practically pre-to-donning. And I know that I'd
Starting point is 00:09:41 like them offrider, but I guard the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I'm, I'm pretty most ensembles of the fadow of these Cato desks, it's true for sure Shepora ClueyWay,
Starting point is 00:09:51 Cepora Collection, and other part of VIT. Procurry you see forma standard and mini, regrouped for a So the lawsuit in Vermont has been settled. What was that lawsuit? Well, there was a lawsuit filed by the ACLU of Vermont on behalf of Gregory Bombard of St. Albans. It says Bombard's First Amendment rights were violated after an unnecessary traffic stop and retaliatory arrest in 2018. This has been going on for six years. Trooper Jay Riggins stopped Bombard's vehicle. St. Albans on February 9th of 2018 because he believed Bombard had shown him the middle finger. So the cop was pissed.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Now, Bombard denied making the gesture, but was detained for several minutes for questioning. After the initial stop, Bombard did curse and give him the middle finger as he drove away. There, I did it this time, you could? When that Riggins pulled him over again and arrested him on a charge of disorderly conduct. ordered the towing of his car. He was jailed for an hour and cited to criminal court. Wow. So after a year, that case was dismissed.
Starting point is 00:11:06 So they held it over his head for a year. So the ACLU argued that using the middle finger to protest the police officers' actions is free expression protected by the First Amendment and the U.S. Constitution and Article 13 of the Vermont Constitution. So under the settlement, he gets $100,000 on the ACLU gets $70. $25,000. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:28 And so, while our client is pleased with this outcome, this incident should never have happened in the first place. Police need to respect everyone's First Amendment rights, even for things they consider offensive or insulting. And the Vermont police had a comment, oh wait, no, no, they
Starting point is 00:11:45 didn't. They didn't even admit to any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. So we just hope that they train their police officers better to avoid silencing criticism or making baseless car stops. The cop was just pissed at the guy. You gave you the finger, fine.
Starting point is 00:12:04 What do you do? I'll pull you over. And nothing happened. He just pulled him over and was just a chip on his shoulder, state trooper. And then he got pissed because when he drove away, fine, it gave you the finger again. That's outstanding. I mean, not really, but come on now. The cop, calm down.
Starting point is 00:12:21 So they paid the, you know, the guy gets $100,000. And that seems for, I mean, it's been six years. This has been going on. 100,000 seems to be an awful small amount to cover for that. But, okay, you know, if you say so. I mean, I'm all for Back to Blue today. You know, I went to see Horizon this past weekend, and I know many of you commented on my ex post
Starting point is 00:12:43 where I talked about how I was all for the Roanoke, Texas Police, and Fire Department. And many of you reached out concerned that something terrible had happened. And I really appreciate it. Thank you. Those of you that were following me on, on X at Jeffrey JFR, I appreciate it very much. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:13:03 But all it was was that I had locked my keys in the car at the movie theater. And I went to see Horizon. We'll talk about that in a little bit. But as I'm closing the door, no! And the door closes and my keys are on the console right there. And, you know, there they are. And I have my wallet. I've got everything I need except my car.
Starting point is 00:13:24 keys. So I just went in and watched the movie, knowing that I'm going to have to take care of it, you know, once the movie is over. And I've got to call my insurance company because the roadside that part of our insurance I have, they send someone out and, you know, unlock your car door and get your keys. And it's just a pain because you have to call the insurance company, I got the number. I have to call the company to get it. And the company has to call you. And it's just, you know, it happens, and I'm very happy that I have that under my insurance policy, but it's just, you know, more of a pain. I thought I was going to have to sit outside in front of the movie theaters forever.
Starting point is 00:14:02 And so, and I don't have my insurance card or my insurance number. So I've got to call my wife so that she can send me a copy, a digital copy of our insurance card, so I can call them and give them the right number and have everything ready. And, of course, my wife doesn't answer the phone when I call her. why would my wife answer the phone when I call her? That would be silly. Why would someone who has the phone with her all the time not answer the phone? Anyway, and I'm walking out of the theater, and I'm there with Chris Cruz,
Starting point is 00:14:32 and Chris says, well, don't you just ask that police officer over there? So there's a Rowanoke, Texas police officer parked in front of the movie theater. I don't know if he's on duty or if his duty is, you know, if he's off duty working for the theater, but he's parked out in front of the theater. And I'm like, you know what? That's a good idea. They usually don't. I've had this happen before.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I know it's a big surprise. I've locked my keys in my car before. And in fact, this very vehicle. And so, but I walk on, I'm going to ask anyway, why not, right? I'm waiting for my wife to call me back or text me back with the insurance, which she did, by the way.
Starting point is 00:15:03 As I was talking to the police officer, it was not that, wasn't that long of a way. I asked the police officer, hey, if you got a little Jimmy that you can unlock my car door with, I locked my keys in the car. And he's like, no, no, I don't.
Starting point is 00:15:17 He said, but, you know, our fire department provides that server, helps people do that. Why don't you call the front desk and see if they'll send someone out? I don't know if they have that service available after 6 o'clock, because it was like 630, 6.45 at night. And I was like, okay, that's great. What's the number? So then he has to, you know, reach into his pocket and get his cell phone out.
Starting point is 00:15:41 And that gives me the number, and I call it. And the lady answers. And I told her my predicament. and she says, oh, absolutely, no problem. I've already has the fire department on the way. We provide that service for you. And off we go. It wasn't five minutes.
Starting point is 00:15:55 They're pulling into the parking lot. I wave them down. I'm talking to him as we're walking over to my car. The guy is, I said, yeah, I locked him in the car. I went to see the movie. Or would you go see? And I talked to him about Horizon a little bit. And by that time, my car door is unlocked, and I have my keys.
Starting point is 00:16:11 And the fire department is off, and I'm in my car driving home. It was awesome. And I drove past the police officer again and thanked him again. I mean, it was fantastic. And that's why I liked Roanoke, Texas police and fire department on Friday night because they, you know, did a nice thing for me. Now, if the police officer would have said, no, I don't have any way to help you out. And then I rolled up his car window. I would have been pissed.
Starting point is 00:16:35 And then I might have actually posted about that as well. But I didn't. So, you know, it was nice of them. I live in Roanoke, Texas. Oh, my gosh. I didn't even know you were still in the building. Yeah, is that why? That's why.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Because the fire department provides that service. Do you have a beat cop walking your beat? No, I do not. I do. I have a, there's a police officer. I don't know if he's, if he lives in my neighborhood, or if he's there, if there's a family member or if he has a girlfriend of the neighborhood. Oh, yeah, careful. He does stop by our neighborhood in the afternoons.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Oh, is it like the afternoon delight? I just, I don't know that. I just know I see his car parked there. The afternoon. Yes. I mean, why not? If you're a police officer, and there's one that, who I found out, who, I can't tell that story, never mind.
Starting point is 00:17:24 There is a police officer that parks in the big church parking lot by my house. Okay. See, I remember that charge. Yeah. And the heritage trace. And anyway, he sits in that parking lot. I found out who that is, actually, the overnight police officer. And you found out because.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Al, just know that I found out. out late night delight just know that I found out yeah not with me for sure I will never accuse you not with me of a late night dare you oh but hey for someone the backs of blue they really helped you out yes they did yes they did fantastic and uh it was it was very kind and uh the city did it great I mean if I call Fort Worth there's no way there Fort Worth fire department is providing that service there's too many people no way Dallas this is not going to happen like I was selling Keith today I was like he thinks is going to turn blue.
Starting point is 00:18:17 It's no way. You can't fit the California people are not moving to Roanoke. I'm going to tell you that. They're buying Pat's house. Right. And Pat does not live in Roanoke. No, he does not.
Starting point is 00:18:27 And they're moving into my neighborhood. They're buying up all the houses that go up for sale in my neighborhood. Because believe me, they're there. Which is like, what, a quarter price of California? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They move into my neighborhood and it's like, well, that's not a bad price.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Oh, 300,000? Oh, yeah. 300. Oh, I'm sorry. $200,000? What kind of trailer park do you think I live in? All right, let's go to the break room. I need something called to drink desperately.
Starting point is 00:19:03 All right, be sure to follow me on my social media accounts. I already mentioned my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio.

I just feel like it was too much groundwork late. I wanted to see a little bit more. And I don't know what I wanted to see. The second one comes out in August. I'll definitely go and see it. You know, I love the Kevin Costner Westerns.
Starting point is 00:20:01 I love the Yellowstones. I love the Taylor Sheridan's 1883. This started out, I think, in 1863. So we had that and we moved along. And, you know, it's Horizon. We're on our way to finding Horizon. And it didn't do well at the box office, which was a little surprising to me.
Starting point is 00:20:24 I thought it would do better. I mean, it came in third place at the box office. Third place, Inside Out, number one, with 57.4 million domestically. And obviously, it reached everything. That's the big news about Inside Out. It became over a billion dollars. It's the fastest animated film to cross.
Starting point is 00:20:47 a billion dollar mark. And I just 19 days. And the record holder, of course, was Frozen 2. So I beat Frozen 2. Okay, well, congratulations. And then a quiet place, the quiet place, day one, came in
Starting point is 00:21:03 second place at 53 million dollars. Wow. I mean, that's pretty freaking good. And then number three, Don't, don't, do. Horizon, an American saga.
Starting point is 00:21:17 chapter one is it saga or saga an american saga chapter one so and you know but it only did 11 million 11 million domestic wow uh i don't know i know that costner invested uh 38 million into the hundred million project um i think he's using some of his own money paying for the marketing so and the sequel's already been shot. All right. Number two is coming. The third installment is currently in production, but they're talking about now,
Starting point is 00:21:54 oh boy, this is disappointing, so raises concern about the franchise. I don't think so. I think Kevin's going to do it anyway. No problem. This is his deal. He'll continue it on. He wants to continue.
Starting point is 00:22:06 He talked about his movies breathing and making a point, so he's going to want to end it, and he's going to want to wrap it up. He's not going to stop. I'm sorry, he's just not going to do it. And I think once you get into streaming and digital sales, it will really help with Horizon. And I'm not sure how many theaters and when this goes around the world.
Starting point is 00:22:31 How many theaters did it have? It says that it had 3,000 theaters, domestically $11 million. So I don't know about international. And we'll see. I just feel like it'll do better in the long run. I'm working for Kevin Costner now. And then it was number four was Bad Boys, Ride or Die. They got $10.3 million.
Starting point is 00:22:56 While Bad Boys Ride or Die, got $10.3 million. That surpasses $300 million globally. The bike riders, I do want to see that, actually. The indie film dropped 66% from opening weekend. That got $3.3 million. The Garfield movie, well, okay. That's got $90 million. We'll see it.
Starting point is 00:23:14 I don't know that that movie is doing as well as they wanted. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Hello. They raked in another million. And so they've got 168 million domestic. Kind of kindness. If falls 51%, but they've got 110 million domestic already.
Starting point is 00:23:32 And Thelma, not sure I know what Thelma is. That made $1.32 million, bringing the domestic total to $5.1 million. We'll get back to finding out what the hell phelma is. You hear that sound. We have breaking news here on chewing the fat. And we have our breaking news. Man on the street reporter Chris Cruz reporting.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Chris, where are you breaking news from? I am right here in front of the Supreme Court. Oh, they have decided. We have decided. I have 119 pages for the Trump versus United States. States. Going to jail. We're shipping them off to jail. Have a nice day. In a decision, 6-3. Oh, boy. The down party line.
Starting point is 00:24:24 President Biden does have immunity. Wow. So. You mean President Trump has immunity? Sorry. Not President Biden. Sorry. Well, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:24:35 If it applies to Trump and applies to Biden. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. That Donald Trump has presumptive. immunity for official acts. Duh. No immunity for unofficial acts, which, duh.
Starting point is 00:24:50 That makes sense. Yes, it does. I believe Thomas, right? Let me double check. It's on page, like I said, 119 pages. Okay. So we have, I believe, Sotomayor descending, Jackson descending, and Barrett concurring.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Yeah, okay. Yeah, the down party lines. Yeah, went down the par line. Yes, yes. But 119 pages. It's going to take me a minute to read all of them. But I will read the Held, which is right and from page one. Okay. Under Constitution, Structure of Separation Powers, the nature of the presidential power entitles a former president to absolute immunity for criminal prosecution from actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitution authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his
Starting point is 00:25:42 official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts. Okay. The case is the first criminal prosecution. Well, they're all official, that's his point. Exactly. This case is the first criminal prosecution in our nation's history of a former president for taking action
Starting point is 00:25:58 during his presidency, determining whether and under what circumstances such a prosecution may proceed requires careful accession of the scope of the presidential powers under the Constitution. I can just make out some reporters behind you there in the Supreme court in there saying that
Starting point is 00:26:13 this entitles the president to some immunity. Well, yeah. Well, yes. If he's not the president that he's not entitled to it. Duh. So if he has the office. Can you tell him to pipe down, by the way? Hey, can you shut up? We're doing a live shot. It's breaking news here. We're doing the fat. Sorry for that.
Starting point is 00:26:29 It's fine. It's the Fox News? Yes. Yeah. They like to talk very loudly. Man. Anyways, so like we all said, if the president's in office, he has immunity. Thank you. If he's not in office, he doesn't have immunity because he's a civilian. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:44 I appreciate you standing there in front of the Supreme Court. It's very hot out here. Can I go back to Dallas? Yeah, yeah. You know what? No. It's hotter in Dallas. I believe it's 90 degrees already and it's like 947.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Yes, it is. So, thank you for reporting Chris Cruz, our man on the street. Today in front of the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., as the Supreme Court has given Donald Trump some. immunity. And now back to the movie Thelma. Apparently Thelma is a 93-year-old woman who tries to recover her savings from a phone scammer. Man, who doesn't want to see that movie.

Starting point is 00:27:53 Who died today? Who died today? Well, we have Martin Mull who died at the age of 80, rest in peace. Martin Mull, he was Mr. 1970s guest stars,
Starting point is 00:28:11 Roseanne, an arrested development. He was a cult, classic hero. He died after a long illness, according to his daughter. He died at, home and it was a fight against a long illness. That's a quote from the daughter.
Starting point is 00:28:31 You know, he was in Fernwood Tonight, and he did the mockumentary on Cinemax and Mary Hartman. I mean, Martin was one of those characters that was fun to watch. And he'll be missed. He'll be missed. Remember him and Mr. Mom and, you know, Clue, the history of white people in America, really, really funny. Just very sad.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Martin Mull, dead at the age of 80. Now, a couple of big stories that are being sent to me on DMing me through X and emailing the fat at the blaze.com and messaging me on Instagram. Is this you? Do you know where this is? And so I just want to say the answer to your question is yes.
Starting point is 00:29:24 the Chick-fil-A restaurant where two people were shot in Irving, Texas, or Los Kalinas, Texas, by Ovid Bernardo Mendoza Argoete, 37. He's an illegal alien from El Salvador, and he shot two victims, murdered the two victims, at this restaurant in Los Kalinas. Apparently, his wife worked at the restaurant, as did the two victims, one of whom was identified as 49-year-old Patricia Portillo,
Starting point is 00:30:00 and the other victim, a male, was not identified. Weird. Anyway, they believed that it was, you know, it was a targeted incident. It was not a random act of violence. You certainly didn't feel that way when you were at that Chick-fil-A, though. I'll tell you that. Anyway, but have I been to that Chick-fil-A?
Starting point is 00:30:18 Many, many times. And I've always felt safe. and secure. And now I have to be concerned about illegal aliens coming up and shooting up my chick-fil-Aid. No, I say no to that. I do not want that to happen. And then there's a story that had been sent to me several times. How about this, Jeffie? Talk about a Jeffie scam. Talk about a Jeffie scam. And this is a church that says a Mexico, this is a story that talks about a Mexico church selling plots in heaven for $100 a square meter. And there's a, a post on Instagram that I had sent to me, I don't know how many times.
Starting point is 00:30:58 The church is going viral for selling plots of land in heaven, $100 per square meter. The pastor says he spoke to God and he granted permission to do this. I have already collected thousands of dollars. And I did see it. It's not real. Okay. It's a good scam if you could pull it off, but it's not real. So it doesn't just came from a joke website, satire.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And the original story talked about the church collecting millions of dollars since 2017. And he's been selling plots in heaven. And so it also takes digital payments. And they talk about exploding. Explodive pastors and what's going on, and now we're selling plots in heaven, and did he actually talk to God? And the answer is, well, no, he didn't actually talk to God
Starting point is 00:32:02 because the story itself isn't true. But, you know, if you can pull it off, good for you. Oh, did you see where my man, Kanye West? Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to dead will name him. Yay, or ye, or whatever you want to call him, is now accused of sending porn to Yeezy Staffers. Apparently, the wife or the woman or whoever the heck she is, Bianca Sensori, has been accused of sending X-rated material to Yeezy Staffers
Starting point is 00:32:37 in this new lawsuit. I guess she sent a link to hardcore sexual content with an employee after the rapper announced the launch of his adult film business. Yeah, Yeezy porn. That was going to happen. So apparently the videos were accessible to staffers who were minors. Okay. Against the development of the new, you know, porn app.
Starting point is 00:33:07 So his former chief of staff, Milo Yanopoulos, right? Is that how you say his stupid name? Milo Yanopoulos. Yeah. Milo Yanapolis. Yanapolis. Yeah, that's what I said. They were both named as defendants.
Starting point is 00:33:25 But Yanapolis. I'm sorry. What was it again? Milo Yanopoulos. Yeah. He engaged in forced labor and cruel inhuman degrading treatment as employees were allegedly subjected to racist remarks and referred to as new slaves. While they were developing the point, I'm not laughing.
Starting point is 00:33:48 It's not funny at all. As they were developing the porn app, as well as a streaming app, YZYVSN, to compete with Apple Music and Spotify. So, uh, Milo Yanofalas. He and, uh, West hired a group of international black developers, including several under the age of 14 to help build the apps. According to the docs, the employees were primarily remote,
Starting point is 00:34:15 but often communicated with the rappers team on. via platform such as Slack and Zoom. The workers claim that was supposed to pay them $120,000. When the app was complete, as long as they agreed to work demanding hours and there were no complaints. Yeah, we wanted to do whatever we say,
Starting point is 00:34:36 but you can't complain about it, okay? And they were ordered to sign non-disclosure agreements or face termination without pay. The developers who were minors were allegedly required to sign volunteer agreements. During the employment, the workers allege that white managers often use degrading language toward them, depending on their age, sex, race, and sexual orientation. Milo!
Starting point is 00:35:01 Milo, you're not the loss. Allegedly sent one black employee an emoji of a person with dark skin and allegedly called another a school shooter. Come on now. In addition to the unpaid wages and overtime pay, the employees are also seeking damages. for emotional distress. West and... Milo Yanofil Moss did not respond to this story. And I don't think that...
Starting point is 00:35:31 Milo Yanofilas. Works for West anymore. Yeah, because it says his former chief of staff, because he didn't want anything to do with the porn stuff. He was okay with all the streaming stuff, but he did not want anything to do with the porn. And so he left. So I don't know who's running the joint now, but we'll see.
Starting point is 00:35:53 We shall see. It's going to be interesting to see what settles and what doesn't and who could say what or what. It's really funny. And it's not funny at all if it's true. If. And that's a capital I, capital F, if true. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous for everyone on my list?
Starting point is 00:36:31 Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious wool throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for... The Crossing Guard?
Starting point is 00:36:47 At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners find fabulous for less. So the robots are common, or at least AI, uh, is common. coming. I see where we now have a AI tool named Mia or Maya, M-I-A, and it has successfully identified tiny breast cancers that human radiologists missed. Mia or Maya detected 11 cases of extremely small cancers during mammogram analysis that were missed by doctors. We all know early
Starting point is 00:37:28 detection is crucial for a successful treatment and higher survival rates. AI tools can increase diagnostic accuracy and reduce result weight times from 14 to 3. For example, Mia Maya caught a 6mm tumor in one patient, Barbara, leading to less invasive treatment and better survival odds. Without AI, her cancer might have been gone undetected for another three years. currently two radiologists we view each scan, but AI could replace one effectively having Halving Hal having H-A-L-V-I-N-G
Starting point is 00:38:08 cut the workload in half, and freeing up time for health care providers. Yeah, so it's just going to happen, and it's not going to happen gradually. I guess it'll appear gradual, but it's just going to be like, yeah, AI said it, and so it's true. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:38:25 we're not this is this is how they take over yeah AI said it so we just believe it all right do we do we want humans to check it out or anything nope because AI said it and it hasn't been wrong ever so we're just
Starting point is 00:38:41 going to believe what AI said period oh all right I don't really like the way it looks well don't worry about it the University of Tokyo has you covered our researchers unveiled a robot with lab grown skin that could mimic the way a real human smiles, and it will be the purpose of the skin
Starting point is 00:39:03 is not to fuel nightmares, but to give the robots a protective layer against wear and tear that also heals itself. The skin remains attached to the robot in a way that's just as, well, according to this story, just as upsetting as the idea itself. It seeps through the holes in the robot skeleton and creates V-shaped hooks that prevent the skin from sliding off the robot. So we've got that to look forward to. So at least maybe Mia Maya will have lab grown skin. So you'll feel a little bit better when Mia Maya says, yep, I detected you have some cancer. It's really small.
Starting point is 00:39:47 We'll be able to take care of it. Or maybe at some point AI says, ooh, yeah. We diagnosed you with cancer, so go over there and walk out the window and be done with you because we're not going to try to save you. Nah, that could never happen. That could never happen. My gosh. You know another thing that could never happen is a robot beating Joey Chestnut in an eating contest.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Now, he's not going to be able to eat all his hot dogs in New York at Nathan's event because he decided to take the money from the impossible burger. people. But he is coming to Texas for July 4th hot dog eating contest at a military base in El Paso, Fort Bliss. So he's going to compete against soldiers at a five-minute hot dog eating contest this year. And I mean, he hasn't lost since 2015. Nathan's wanted to sign him. You know, I mean, they're bummed. Every story that I read, after he was banned from Nathan's, he wasn't banned from Nathan's. He took the money from Impossible Foods, which then went
Starting point is 00:40:54 against his deal with Nathan's. So then Nathan said, hey, lose the deal, and then you can come and, you know, be a part of our, you know, the world renowned Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, and you're the champion. Come back and then he wouldn't do it. He wanted the money from
Starting point is 00:41:12 impossible food. So, okay, you do you, Joey, you do you. I will say, that's my point. Is there robots are never going to out eat Joey Chestnut. I don't care. I don't care. You can create any kind of robot you want with fake skin. You can tell, you can have the robots say, hey, you've got cancer and you don't. You're going to have a robot saying you broke the law and you didn't, but you're not going
Starting point is 00:41:35 to have a robot that could devour more hot dogs in five, ten, or 15 minutes than Joey Chestnut. That just isn't going to happen. All right, let's get out of here. I'll leave you with the joke of the day. and I love this joke so much and I've said it to a number of people so I don't know, I don't remember
Starting point is 00:41:53 if I've told you this joke before. So I'm going to tell it to you again. If I did, then you get it again. And, you know, you're welcome. Okay, you're welcome. If I didn't, well, then now this is the first time and you can laugh for yourself the first time. Okay?
Starting point is 00:42:06 All right. I was at Walmart yesterday. Again, this is not my joke, although I wish it was because it is, it makes me laugh every time. I was in Walmart yesterday. and this elderly lady was in front of me and her total came to $279.69.68.
Starting point is 00:42:23 But her card was declined. So y'all already know what I did. God will bless me one day. It was a lot of groceries, but I helped put them all back. Do you know you laughed? You know you did. You know you did.

You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story until now. People assume that I'm like, this pervert. My name is Natalie Robamed. And in my new podcast, I talked to Allison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member. How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma at other people? I don't even know how to answer that question.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Alison After Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify. Bye.
