Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boating will begin when passenger fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 186653300 or visit Commexontera.com. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Well, well, well, a win for Taco Bell. Taco Johns is giving up its Taco Tuesday trademark. But, you know, it's not going down quietly. They want Taco Bell to pay for picking the fight in the form of a donation to charity.
Starting point is 00:00:57 over here, Taco Bell mounted a huge freeing Taco Tuesday campaign, filing a petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and their appeal board to cancel trademarks on the common term. And Taco John said, eh, we don't want to pay millions of dollars to lawyers to defend our position. So Taco John's CEO, Jim Creel, announced that the company will begin sharing Taco Tuesday with a pledge to contribute $100 per location in our system to restaurant employees with
Starting point is 00:01:34 children who are battling a health crisis, death, or natural disaster, with a challenge that are litigious competitors and other taco-loving brands to join us. Now, Taco Johns owned the trademark in 49 states for the past 34 years. The small business called Gregories owns the registration in New Jersey, has 400 restaurants in 21 states, and made a $4,000 donation to the nonprofit organization, children of restaurant employees. Core. While the move is majorly aimed at Taco Bell, the Wyoming headquartered company also urged Del Taco, Taco Boehino, Taco Cabana, Jack in the box and mom and pop taco shops across the country that intend to use Taco Tuesday to consider making the donations.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I mean, that's a big number. If Taco Bell would have to donate like $720,000 in the challenge to match the $100 per restaurant pledge? I mean, they have 7,200 stores. That's pretty big. It's still probably less than what the legal battle would cost them. But there you have it. I mean, even LeBron James. What a debt guy.
Starting point is 00:02:59 He is the global ambassador for Taco Bell. And he wanted to free Taco Tuesday. Yeah, why don't you just pay for it, LeBron? But no, he should donate all his money to Core himself. That's for sure. because he had filed an application for Taco Tuesday himself because of advertising and marketing services, podcasting services, and online entertainment services. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Well, now you can use it for nothing. So I hope you can donate money, LeBron, to core, just to cover some help for children of restaurant employees. But anyway, there you have it. You're going to have Taco Tuesday everywhere, and it will be legal now since Taco John said, yeah, donate to Corr and go ahead. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Here we go again, AI helping police to bust perps with just because that's what they do. The new company called Recore.
Starting point is 00:04:18 We talked about this last week, and I'll talk a little bit more about what we talked about last week again. But this new case is in Scarsdale in upstate New York, Westchester County. So the cops stopped this guy, and when they stopped it, they found a large amount of crack cocaine, a gun, and over $34,000 in cash in his vehicle. He later pled guilty to drug trafficking charge. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, how did you know that this Zias fit the bill for drug trafficking? Well, the company Recore. Analyze traffic patterns regionally, and in the course of that analysis, the program identified Zias as suspicious. Oh, so also we're just using license plate readings to look out for drivers who might have an export. fired license or are wanted for prior violations. Now, however, the AI integration seem to be making
Starting point is 00:05:23 great at identifying other kinds of criminality just by observing the behavior. So Record describes itself as an AI-driven roadway intelligence platform, and it contracts with police departments and other public agencies all across the country. It also works with private. businesses using recourse software. Oh, that's great. That's great. So the system is made up of 480 cameras distributed throughout the region, routinely scanned 16 million vehicles a week,
Starting point is 00:06:02 capturing identifying data points like a vehicle's license plate number, make and model of the automobile, and by recording and reverse engineering vehicle trajectories as they travel across the state, cops can use the software to assess whether the particular routes are suspicious or not. Isn't that nice? So this particular driver, Zayas, his car was taking multi-year trips. He was routinely making trips back and forth between Massachusetts and certain areas of upstate New York.
Starting point is 00:06:40 The AI determined that his routes were known to be used by, narcotics pushers and conspicuously short stays. As a result, the program deemed Zayas activity consistent with that of a drug trafficker. Oh, interesting. So if the cops already had ID a drug trafficker with the click of a button, now just think what's going to happen in 10 years. Plus, I would be interested in how they put. pulled him over. How does knowing that he is a suspicious traveler give you the right to pull him over and search his car? That's a tough one for me, but they obviously did, and he pleaded guilty, so, you know, we're done. I mean, they found some crack, a gun, I'm sorry, a large amount
Starting point is 00:07:36 of crack cocaine, a gun over $34,000 in cash. Oh, okay. And so my point still stands. What gave you the right to just pull him over and search his car because you thought he was suspicious? That's really weird to me. That's really weird to me. You know, we talked about Jackson, Wyoming. who is going to start installing these license plate recognition cameras along with their,
Starting point is 00:08:14 in their streets, from a company called flock safety. And they have all these different programs that they named after birds, you know, the Falcon line, the Raven, the Talons. And so they're going to, well, the system, the AI-powered mass surveillance system is called Talon. All right. So, and then there's Condor, which provides a live feed with zooming capabilities, doing the same thing. There's another company called Motorola Solutions, which also operates a similar database. Well, and we also have this company in New York that is doing it.
Starting point is 00:08:56 RECOR. So there's multiple companies in the country that is doing it. Have you watched, have you watched a class of 09 yet? If you haven't, find it and watch it, class of 09. It's really interesting. And it has to do with this type of AI surveillance and the FBI and the government. And it's pretty fascinating. I like the way they did it.
Starting point is 00:09:20 They go back in time. They go to present time and they go to the future. And they start using how it got started with the AI. It got started with the FBI using AI like these companies are doing. and how it evolved in the future. Now, in the show, the end, I think, ends differently than what you would expect and what it looks like how the ending is going to be here.
Starting point is 00:09:48 But you never know. I was reading in this one story where it talks about, well, humans make the case, right? So people are looking at all of this information and the humans still make the case to what is going to happen with it. That's the way it started in class of 09 as well. Okay?
Starting point is 00:10:12 But at some point, the humans go, well, you know, the computer's right. So let's do that. Oh, oh, okay. So, and now I see we're fighting in France because they're starting to put up new security for the Olympics. Well, welcome to it.
Starting point is 00:10:35 I know this, you know, the Vision Software, the X-XII group is waiting for further specs from the French government so they can put their Olympics video surveillance into high gear. But that's what happens. Remember that's what happened in London? I mean, you're going to, France and Paris, that is what's going to happen. I mean, the tool allows the state to analyze everything from our bodies, our behavior, and then here's where they talk about, well, and then the human, the computer will decide whether it's normal or suspicious, and then it will tell you, well, we think it might be suspicious. What say you, human?
Starting point is 00:11:25 And you as a human will have to decide. and most of the time you're going to decide, you know, what the computer decides. So there's that. Then I was looking at the most surveilled cities, and a lot of them are in China, for sure. I mean, when you look at the top 10, well, this list is the top 12. You have mostly cities in China. But there is London. There is Atlanta,
Starting point is 00:12:00 wow, Singapore and Abu Dhabi. Wow, out of 12, 8 are in China, not Japan. Sorry, my fault. China, Japan, same thing. I know, stop it. It was just a joke. But I looked at the cities outside of China that are the most surveilled. And you have, I said Singapore,
Starting point is 00:12:28 Delhi, Moscow, Seoul, St. Petersburg, London, of course, Los Angeles. So, I mean, those are big cities, New York, Mumbai. We have these cities outside of China. So more and more cities and states, even the smaller cities and smaller areas are now being surveilled by AI. So be prepared and be ready for it. It's amazing. I loved the fact, even in all these stories, they say, and I quote, It's up to the humans, the police officers, to examine the situation and see what should be the appropriate action.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Maybe it's something serious. Maybe it's not. The important thing is that it's humans who make the ultimate decision about how to react, not the computer. The algorithm is empowering humans. Right. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Well, this is interesting.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Netflix's decision to force you to you know, not be able to share your password with family members. Apparently, they claim, oh, it's paying off. We gained 5.9 million subscribers last quarter. And while other media companies struggle with the transition to streaming, business is looking pretty good. We're over here at Netflix. We've got extra cash on hand because, well, we don't have to spend any money on new content.
Starting point is 00:14:29 And they believe that we've made steady price. But we've got more work to do to re-accelerate our growth. Yeah. Okay, so I'd be interested to see inside of some of those numbers, like the 5.9 million subscribers last quarter. Okay, so are they the big time subscribers, or did they just do the quick little family subscribership? So they still had Netflix for now because I still have Netflix.
Starting point is 00:14:58 I didn't get rid of them. but man, I'm pretty close. I'm pretty close. And I said that about watching TV too, and I know that it's not going to happen. But I am pretty close. I'm trying to really pay attention to what I watch and what I watch it on
Starting point is 00:15:13 so that, you know, I have an idea of what I'm, you know, if I'm paying Netflix, I think now 20 bucks a month for, you know, being able to watch it on multiple screens and, you know, it's just one household now. I can't even go down to my son's house and watch it unless he gets it or unless I pay for another account there, right? Because heaven forbid that he uses my password or that I use my password there can't have that. And that's the same with Hulu. I can't do that.
Starting point is 00:15:46 It's just amazing to me. So we'll see how that holds up for Netflix. They seem to be smiling now, but they may be smiling out of the other side of their face a little while from now. Thank you for subscribing to Chewing the Fat. I appreciate it.

I really miss having a blue check mark. The algorithm is really, your account doesn't grow
Starting point is 00:18:35 and your reach is really limited. I appreciate all the people that follow me on Twitter, but I know the way that it works with the people that I follow, who I see, how the algorithm sends it to me. So without the blue check mark, you know, so many of you aren't seeing my tweets. Not that they're all great, but I would like to, you know, expand my reach. Speaking of Twitter, and Elon, of course, is not going to expand my reach or anyone's reach without a checkmark.
Starting point is 00:19:05 That's just the way it is now. And I should have known that going in, but I did, and I put my foot down, and that was wrong to do. He told me. He told me. And I just, I didn't listen. But I see where Elon is battling with Elizabeth Warren, you know, the senator for. from Massachusetts, agonizing. And she is after Elon again saying,
Starting point is 00:19:28 I'm concerned at Tesla. She tweets this, of course. So she, at Tesla's board, has failed to manage conflicts of interest from his role as CEO of Tesla and Twitter. Tesla's board has a legal obligation to serve its shareholders. I'm urging at SECGov to investigate.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Oh, isn't that special? Yeah, let's get more government entities involving it investigating Elon. Well, he replied to that tweet, not you again. That has got to frost her butt so bad. Then with that, not you again, I freaking love that. Now she has to be reminded that I'm not CEO, okay? I'm not CEO So when asked about
Starting point is 00:20:24 Her driving a Tesla I mean he's She said the United Elon said the United States has definitely been harmed by having her as a senator LOL Then he also replied to you remind me of when I was a kid and my friend's angry mom Would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason And then
Starting point is 00:20:50 next tweet was, hey, please don't call me the manager on me, Senator Karen. That is awesome. Now, her tweet, her original tweet, was also kind of fact check with the context because they said, you know, we need to readers added context to the tweet saying of what you might want to know.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Elon is not the CEO of Twitter, okay? That's the Twitter CEO is Lindy. Yucanarino. Yeah, so it's just awesome. Don't call the manager on me. And not you again. Ha, that is hilarious. Just hilarious.
Starting point is 00:21:34 At Jeffrey JFR is my Twitter account, by the way. Just a friendly reminder. Also, just a friendly reminder. Today, if you're listening live, is the 21st of July, 2023, which means the Mega Millions lottery drawing is tonight. and at the very least, at the very least, it's $720 million. And $369.6 million is the cash option.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Man, would that be sweet? Now, I hope that you pull it off and win it. But if it's not you, then I hope it's me. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So who died today? Who died today?
Starting point is 00:22:50 Kevin Mittnick. Kevin Mittnick, dead at the age of 59. Kevin, you remember Kevin as one of the pioneering hackers in the 80s and 90s who tricked people to helping him steal software and services from big phone and tech companies. I mean, he was wanted by the government. In fact, spent time in prison, died in Las Vegas after a 14th month battle with pancreatic cancer. I do not wish that on anyone. He was part of a security firm, No, B-4, K-N-O-W-B-E-4.
Starting point is 00:23:40 He was chief hacking officer. I mean, he was haunted by the FBI in prison. Finally, then they said, you know, he's pretty smart. We should listen to what he has to say. So yeah, we'll just, you know what? We'll get his advice. We're U.S. lawmakers and global corporations. We'll just use him because he, I mean, he's a cybersecurity expert, public speaker, author.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Really cool. I mean, he definitely is the professional trajectory of what many consider the missed-placed prosecutorial zeal that put him behind bars for nearly five years until the year 2000, when they learn. and better to distinguish serious computer crime from mischievous troublemaking of youths. So anyway, very sad. Rest in peace, Kevin Midnick. Kevin Mittnick, dead at the age of 59. A man that's not dead, but I would make sure that I have some pretty good security. He's a Virginia man who admitted to entering the U.S. Capitol during the January 6th riot.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Jacob Hiles, the charter boat captain, traveled from Virginia Beach to Washington, D.C. on January 6th, and he wanted to express his support for President Trump by exercising his First Amendment rights, guaranteed under the United States Constitution. Ha. So he's already pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol building. Oh, wow. He was sentenced in December of 2021
Starting point is 00:25:29 to two years of probation in order to complete 60 hours of community service. He is suing CNN for defamation. According to the FBI affidavit, Hiles posted numerous videos and photos on his Facebook page on the day supporters of Trump stormed the Capitol Bill.
Starting point is 00:25:53 They included a selfie. He posted that morning with the caption, Feeling Cute, might start a revolution later. I mean, does that, okay, all right. So his lawsuit alleges CNN defamed him in an article with the headline U.S. Capitol Police Officer indicted on obstruction of justice charges in connection with January 6th. The article reported.
Starting point is 00:26:23 on the indictment of Michelangelo Riley, a capital police officer who prosecutors said messaged Hiles on Facebook and encouraged him to delete his posts. He was sentenced to two years of probation and four months of home detention earlier this year
Starting point is 00:26:40 after being convicted of one count of obstruction of justice. Wow. Then the articles focused later shifts to Hiles, our guy from Virginia, with the subheading that says man wanted to start a revolution on January 6th. So according to the lawsuit, that subheading and the article's contents are defamatory
Starting point is 00:27:02 because they falsely accuse Hiles of felonious criminal activity of which he was not charged or convicted either directly or indirectly. I know the article alleges that he had the intention to overthrow a sitting government, which is one of the, you know, obviously he says, the gravest felonies in the United States of America. Huh. So we'll see if that, what comes of that, with his lawsuit against CNN.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I would like to say that he's going to win a little bit of money, but you just never know. I guess CNN acknowledged that Hiles pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor, but they continued to paint the picture of his revolutionary violent revolutionary intent on causing violence. Feeling cute might start a revolution today. So he's suing for $37 million in compensatory damages and a further 350,000 in punitive damages.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Good luck. It's hockey season and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Because those are groceries, and we deliver those too. Along with your favorite restaurant food, alcohol, and other everyday essentials. Order Uber Eats now. For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. I see where Charles Barkley was correct.
Starting point is 00:29:00 He said in his rant last weekend, hey, y'all can't cancel me. I ain't worried about getting canceled and nothing has come of it for sure. You aren't canceling King Charles, Sir Charles. He called, he was at the golf tournament and out at Lake Tahoe. The, what's it called the American Century Championship? They bring in all these big sports stars and have a big golf tournament every year. and we can go down. I'm not sure where he ended up on the leaderboard.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Wow, 81st. No wonder he was ranting. He was way down the old leaderboard. But he was going off on some, you know, on Dylan Mulvaney. He said, you guys, you don't drink. You boycott Bud Light over its tie up with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Rednecks and assholes. All you rednecks and, well, the story says A-holes,
Starting point is 00:30:08 who don't want to drink Bud Light, F y'all! I mean, the crowd cheered, of course. And so, I mean, he was in the 80s, so no wonder he was drunk in the bar, hollering and yelling. And he told him that you can try to cancel me. I am worried about you.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Cancel me. If y'all fire me. me and give me all that money, I'm going to be playing golf every effing day. I got three cases of Bud Light. If you're gay, bless you. If you're trans, bless you. If you have a problem with that, F you. He's right, though.
Starting point is 00:30:55 No one's giving him a hard time. That's for sure. Barkley, I know, Spark Backlash on Twitter. He said, Time to not buy Bud Light even harder, said one social media user. And Barclay said,
Starting point is 00:31:10 FU2. So he does not back it off of it. I found it amazing. This whole boycott thing, man. Anheuser-Busch, Bud Light's parent company, has, looks like they're going to lose
Starting point is 00:31:25 like 27 buildings. million dollars in market cap. I mean, they've threatened they were the top beer for decades. Anheiser Bush. And this fight over Budlite and Dylan Mulvaney, I mean to tell you, it has
Starting point is 00:31:44 done wonders to the ruination of Anheiser Bush. Just amazing. Anyway, Charles was 81st in the leaderboard out there at the Lake Top. this year. And I saw, you know, McAfee was out there with A.J. Hawk. And A.J. I think ended up being 46th, tied for 46. He tied with Joe Thaisman and Seth Curry at 46th. And McAfee was 67th, I think.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Steph Curry won the tournament. Last year, Tony Romo won. Steph Curry won. Romo was 8th this year. Wow. Aaron Rogers was fifth. I know Aaron was out there. He was interviewed about Hard Knocks as well. I was going down the list of who was out there playing and how they ended up. Marty Fish, number two. Joe Pavleski, Joe Pavleski. Number three.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Mark Mulder, Aaron Rogers, fifth. Derek Lowe was seven. Romo was eighth. John Elway was tied for ninth with Michael Penu. Wow. Okay. There's a lot of big names. I mean, all these big sports stars are out there golfing at Lake Tahoe every year. And coming in way down at the end. Don Cheadle. Wow. I mean, way down there.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Sorry, have a nice day. Anyway, Aaron was out there, and he was asked about being on hard knocks. And because he wasn't happy about it. The Jets had said no. HBO's Hard Knocks. And they said, no, I think more than once, but they couldn't find a team to do Hard Knocks in the NFL, instead of saying, well, we just won't do it this year. I don't know how much money is involved with HBO and NFL films
Starting point is 00:33:41 and what happens with all that. I'm sure it's a lot. And so they are going to pull through. You're going to get a team. And they have restrictions. They're probably going to have to look at some of the rules that stipulate who could be on Hard Knock. Knox because, you know, this year there was, I think, three teams that fit the criteria
Starting point is 00:34:03 and one of them was the Jets. Of course everyone wants the Jets. Hello. Aaron Rogers' first year as the Jets. The other teams nobody cares about. Sure, we probably would have watched it. I mean, I like watching Hard Knocks. It's fun.
Starting point is 00:34:18 You know, it's behind the scenes of the whole training camp for an NFL team. I know the players seem to not really enjoy it. Once the cameras are there, you get over it. Same with the coaches. You just got to move on with your life. That's the way it is. But they all said no. And the NFL said, yeah, it's going to be the New York Jets.
Starting point is 00:34:39 We're going to side with all the fans. And we want Aaron Rogers and the New York Jets. So he was asked about it at this American Century Championship as he was walking the course. You see that, Cameron? You're going to see a lot of them now. Hard Knox is coming. Your thoughts?
Starting point is 00:35:00 Listen, one of the only things I like about hard knocks is the voice of God who narrates it. Right. Leav, I hope I get to meet him. But look, you know, I understand the appeal with us. Obviously, there's a lot of eyes on me, a lot of eyes on our team,
Starting point is 00:35:15 a lot of expectations for our squad. So they force it down our throats and we got to deal with it. Yeah, he was talking to Dennis O'Donnell from KPIX Sports. there in the Bay Area, the CBS Bay Area affiliate. You can tell he's not very happy about it. I just saw a picture of the Jets posting of Aaron Rogers with his uniform on and number eight, showing that it was not an AI-generated picture.
Starting point is 00:35:44 So it'll be interesting to see Hard Knocks at Trading Camp for the New York Jets. It's going to be one of the biggest watched ones, I guarantee it. We all wanted the Jets with Aaron Rogers. And I know, you know, I know the people that don't like sports are saying, so what? It's Aaron Rogers and it's HBO hard knocks. So what?
Starting point is 00:36:07 I know. I know. But I'm telling you it's going to be a big one. And he is not happy about it at the NFL. Like all the fans are saying, tough. And I will say this to Aaron Rogers and the New York Jets. There's a lot of excitement around this team. If you look at the NFL and the other teams,
Starting point is 00:36:29 there's a lot of big, big teams in the NFL this year. And all Aaron has to do is win. Because if he doesn't win, man, it's going to be interesting watching him get rode out of New York on a rail. I saw a really cool thing. Drones fighting fires. So they were testing it, and it was a test fit. for these drones that obviously fly up these buildings, these tall buildings, and, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:02 they have a hose connected to them, and they put out the fire, which is awesome. But it's not just the drones. It's, you know, the humans running the drones. And that goes back to what we were talking about with the AI and the surveillance, right? The robots already told us, we're not going to be putting humans out of work. We're here to assist. and the humans always decide what's best. But, I mean, it is really cool that we're using these drones to fight fires,
Starting point is 00:37:29 or at least we're testing it. I don't know why we aren't doing it now, to be honest with you. If there's a tall building on fire, let the fireman that was going to climb the ladder and hold the hose learn to fly the drone and let the drone spray the water onto the fire and get it out. I just thought it was a really cool thing. Now, I will say this, that at some point, Uh, won't it be easier just to let AI run the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Uh, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, humans will still make the choice whether they're going to go in and rescue somebody that's in the building. But AI will have the technology to be able to take care of it and see where the drones need to go, where they need to shoot, whatever fire needs to happen, where the water needs to go. and they won't need humans flying the drones on the ground.

Starting point is 00:39:28 would have picked the child and that's the conundrum so apparently there was some controversy online over the definition of a couple of words one was guts and the other was balls
Starting point is 00:39:43 so this post is hoping to help you differentiate from the two words. Guts is arriving home late after a night out with the boys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask, are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere? Balls is coming home late after a night out with the boys,
Starting point is 00:40:10 smelling of perfume and beer with lipstick on your collar, and slapping your wife on the bottom, and having the balls to say, you're next, chubby. I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Now, medically speaking, there's no difference in the outcome.
