Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher Now you're going to have to wait until December But OpenAI Has announced that it will soon allow

Erotica for chat GPT users who verify their age on the platform In an ex post OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the company will add support for mature conversations when it launches age gating in December. So again, like I said, you're going to have to wait until December.

So as we roll out age gating more fully and as part of our treat adult users like adults principle, we will allow even more, like erotica, for verified adults. Now, of course, it's age. appropriate verifications and controls. There's no question about that. Hello. I see where I know that XAI has previously launched their flirty AI companions, which appear as 3D anime models in the GROC app.

But along with the addition of Erotica, OpenAI, also plans on launching a new version of ChatGPT that behaves more like what people liked about 40 or 40. just one day after making GPT5, the default model, powering chat GPT, OpenAI brought back GPT 40, as an option for other people because they were complaining that the model was less personable. Oh, okay. So now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues, wait, what? Yeah, well, they went ahead and they formed a council. on well-being and AI,

and they're going to help shape open AI's response to complex or sensitive scenarios. Oh, that's awesome. They brought in a bunch of people. Well, the council is comprised of a team of eight researchers and experts who study the impact of technology and AI on mental health.

Oh, okay. That's great. So now, like Sam said, they've been able to mitigate the serious mental health. issues and they have new tools they're going to be able to safely relax their restrictions in most cases so headed to chat gpt a little a bitters erotica talk you know if you're if you like that kind of thing welcome welcome to chewing the fat fat five plus hold on to your phones or at least keep an eye on them for sure, no matter where you're at. But, you know, most people,

when they're traveling, they hang onto their wallets and their purses, but make sure you hang on to your phones now. London police have recently launched a crackdown after 80,000 phones were stolen in the British Capitol last year. Wow. So those stolen phones aren't just being nabbed by small-time crooks while they're in London. They're being handed over to international criminal networks that send many of them to China for resale. So it's a good gig. If you can steal phones and then have a connection to be able to give you money that ends up back in China, now are you getting the full price if you're stealing the phone?

I doubt it. But you're going to have to have a middleman. Two weeks of raids last month on suspected middlemen. There you go. yielded 2,000 stolen phones and $26,000 in cash. A pair of men arrested last month were accused of being ringleaders of a group that sent as many as 40,000 stolen phones to China. Police say that their car phones wrapped in aluminum foil. I'm sorry, they had phones, they had phones wrapped in aluminum foil to prevent the transmission of tracking signals.

and that they were spotted buying nearly one and a half miles worth of foil at Costco. So now we're going to put foil behind the locked glass because those are, you know, phone stealers are buying foil. We have to keep them locked up. Okay. So British authorities say that one reason phones are so frequently targeted is that in this case, yeah, crime pays. Duh. So you, according to this, thieves can download them in the UK for $400 each,

more than three times the pay for a full day of work at minimum wage. The newer phone models can fetch as much as $5,000 in China. Yeah. And the guy that's stealing your phone on the streets of London is not getting $400 each. He's taking it to the middleman who's given him maybe $100, $200, and then the middleman is selling it to the guy who can actually rent. wrap it and foil and get it to China at $5,000 a pop. And he's probably making, you know, between $4 and $800 to $1,000 a phone,

something like that. I mean, I'm not telling you how things work, how the crime layout works. But I'm sure that that's, you know, there's often layers. And the guy on the street is not the, it's the lowest rung of the layer. But you need those guys on the street deep pocket in these phones. Keep an eye on your phones. I mean, holy cow.

That means China, you know, they've got all their phones. You have to have your, you know, your digital IDs. Everything is on your phone that locks into you. So if I get a hot phone in China, I can do all kinds of stuff on my phone without the government knowing. Huh, interesting how something like that works, isn't it? It is. And as long as we're, you know, talking about scams or at least crimes, this one is really kind of strange.

called pig butchering. No, I know. I thought the same thing, but it's called the pig butchering scam. So the Justice Department announced that it had seized roughly $15 billion in Bitcoin from a cyber fraud operation, making the largest forfeiture in the department's history. The scheme linked to Prince Holding Group, which is a Cambodia-based multinational conglomerate. Authorities allege, CEO. and chairman Chen Vincent Z, or Z-H-I, maybe that's Jew as well. So we'll go with that. Chen Vincent Zhu Z-H-I was indicted yesterday in New York for pig butchering.

Okay, so they are claiming, alleging, that he forced trafficked workers to forge online relationships with victims before persuading them to transfer cryptocurrency into sham investment accounts. That is what is known as pig butchering. So he was indicted yesterday in New York. We don't know where he is. He's on the lamb somewhere. But he was indicted for wire fraud and money laundering charges. We don't know where he is.

The U.S. and the U.K. also imposed economic sanctions on Prince with the U.S. designated the company a transnational criminal organization. Ooh, I hope he's not on a boat. He'll get blown up. Americans lost at least $10 billion last year to Southeast Asia-based scams with operations like Prince playing a major role. Okay.

So a separate analysis found deposits into pig-butchering scams surged into from 2023 to 2024, 210%. Wow. Well, the scam revenues grew almost 40%. So this guy is raking in some serious cash. I mean, hello. They seized $15 billion in Bitcoin. So I don't know how much the CEO and chairman Chen Vincent,

Z-H-I has got stashed, but $15 billion is nothing to sneeze at. So we have the lookout. Be careful. Don't get scammed. the pig butchering scam. You know, like when you're forging those relationships online, perhaps

those relationships aren't real. You know, like the chat GPT erotica or the XAI companions that are 3D anime models. Yeah, I would guess that those probably aren't real. So if they're trying to get you to invest or

I'm not sure what happened, but Jim Caviesel is not going to reprise his role as Jesus in Mel Gibson's two-part sequel, Resurrection of the Christ, set for theatrical release in 2027. Wait, what? He is Jesus. So what is Mel going to do? I guess we're just going to, we have to believe now that someone else is Jesus. I wonder if Mary's coming back. No, she is not.

Holy cow. So Monica Balucci is not going to return as Mary Magdalene. And Jim Caviesel is not going to return as Jesus. Plus, it's a two-parter. I mean, holy cow. We had the original way back in 2004. I mean, that was, you know, like another lifetime ago. But this particular work, the resurrection of the Christ, part one is supposed to hit theaters in March of 2027.

And then 40 days later, they're going to debut. And then part two is going to debut 40 days later. Holy cow. But we've got to believe in a new Jesus and a new Mary because the original Jesus quit. It would be interesting to talk to Mel Gibson, though, and find out what he thinks of it and his spin on it, because he may have kicked him to the curb. Because I thought it was reported that Cavizel was coming back. I mean, Mary could be anyone, right?

Anyone could play the chicks part. But I mean, Jesus, he's it. He's the guy, right? Caviesel's the guy. And so I thought he was all set to be Jesus forever. And no, no, he is not. So maybe Jesus holding out for more money. my gosh, I expected better from Jesus.

Wow, so Netflix just inked a deal with Spotify. Pretty big deal, actually. I mean, it was speculated for quite a while. I think Sarandos floated the idea during some earnings call back in April. So everybody was like, they're pretty good to a podcast. Yes, they can. Subscribers will get access to shows from Spotify Studios. and Bill Simmons the ringer.

The lineup includes sports heavy hitters, Bill Simmons, obviously, rewatchables, true crime favorite, serial killers and conspiracy theories, culture, lifestyle shows, including the Dave Chang show and Dissect. There's no mention of chewing the fat on this. Ted, you might want to give me a call.

I think there's going to be some big shows on it for sure. This is where, you know, they're taking the fight to YouTube. Instagram is taking the fight to YouTube. They want that. video money as well. Wow. Okay, they want people to view Netflix as their entertainment hub

rather than just another streaming service. So video podcasts are relatively cheap to license, but you can rack up serious viewing hours. Yeah, no kidding. And that's what you would get with chewing the fat, by the way, Ted. I wonder when they get the big shows, though. Like, you know, they've got the WWE deal. I think they made another deal.

They're getting into NFL. So they're going to need to need. a show that can highlight just Netflix and go live. I wonder who that would be. You know, maybe someone like McAfee signs an exclusive deal with Netflix. I don't know. Maybe. They might not have to let him do Game Day and to do that.

Although, who knows, they may keep him on Game Day. And then his show would be specifically on Netflix. Someone like that might happen. surprise me. So the podcast land on Netflix early next year, starting in the U.S., and then they're going to expand globally. They said this was just the beginning. Okay. So there you go. I'm available Netflix. Just email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Speaking to movies, I should have done this with Jesus quits, but George Clooney says the budget approving. was granted for Oceans 14.

Now they don't know who is going to be a part of the movie, but you're guessing, you know, probably Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, come back for Oceans 14. So what's this show going to be? I mean, we've got, you know, we've robbed Vegas casinos and other things. These guys are all, you know, getting up there in age these days. So, I mean, is it going to rob a nursing home?

You know, maybe catch a, you know, an early show and then head off to bed. Maybe rob a Disney, that's what it is. They're going to rob a Disney cruise ship. Yes, a retirement cruise ship. That's what they'll do. It'll be the perfect robbery. And they'll just ride away on jet skis. That's probably what it's going to be.

Okay. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt. Sister Jean Dolores Smith. You remember her the Loyola Basketball Superfan and Team Chaplin. She has passed away at the age of 106. She led the team players in pregame prayers,

pointed out upon its strengths and weaknesses, and supported the team in the NCAA. tournaments, America fell in love with her, and so did people around the world, fell in love with her. She was in her wheelchair for most of the time that I can remember her sister Jean, but she was a celebrity in the number one fam of Loyola University. And they didn't say how or why she died. So, I mean, she was 106, and she probably, you know, she spent a lot of time in that wheelchair. So just a guess that that is where she was. But I don't know that.

So rest in peace to Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt dead at the age of 106. Then we have actor Jerry Leggio, Jerry Leggio, L-E-G-G-I-O, who brought Hollywood to Louisiana. He is a, oh yeah, that guy, but he's even. Well, he's more of a, oh yeah, that guy. I mean, he's not really a, oh, yeah, that guy. He's more of a, oh, yeah, that guy. I mean, he was in a lot of plays, no question. But his movies and films and TV shows set in Louisiana,

Sounder, sister, sister, the badge of the American Violet, American Horror Story. he played in films like the Ernest Green story Ruffian Mothman He was in the heat of the night too I think a few times So I mean he's

You would remember him right I mean you saw him And you would go Oh yeah Oh yeah that guy But he was in a lot of big plays as well Over the years I mean a few good men

And inherit the wind And the king and I All the classics sound of music Camelot So I mean he was You would know He was the best little whorehouse in Texas He was the sheriff.

I mean, those are all classic plays that you want to part in if you're an actor. But he went to Hollywood and got a few parts. But he wanted to bring movies and stuff to Louisiana, which he did. He was Mr. Bring Hollywood to Louisiana. I did love the story that his daughter was telling about him. She recalled a story about, well, he was on the set of hush,

hush, sweet Charlotte. which is, you know, classic movie from Betty Davis. I know that because it's in the story. I wouldn't have remembered that myself. Don't feel like you didn't know that movie. And apparently he had turned out a light on set, and the man in charge of lighting chewed him out. And Betty Davis was pissed that this guy treated him that way.

So she just called him over and had him go on a walk with her. And she said, don't worry, these people won't bother you again. this walk is costing them at least $10,000 and she was pissed at the lighting guy so she went for a walk with him so that they would leave him alone oh my gosh he knows Betty Davis what am I doing I can't holler at him and she helped him out kind of funny so a rest in peace
