And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
Have you seen this new egg challenge, the egg crack challenge?
I don't know where it started.
But right now it's got, I don't know, a couple hundred million views across TikTok and Instagram.
And it's where you film yourself with your child making something, you know, I don't know, French toast or pancakes or cake.
and you have to crack open eggs.
And they're right there in the picture.
And you crack an egg on their forehead and put it in a bowl.
And originally, I laughed like that because it's so stupid.
But the kids don't think it's funny.
I saw a few, and I went through last night and watched a whole boatload of these egg-cracking videos.
And I just, I think it's time to stop it.
Okay, just stop it.
It's not good for the kids.
I saw a few where adult women were doing it to their husbands or their boyfriends.
That's funny.
You know, he's just sitting there at the kitchen counter and she cracks the egg on his forehead.
And so as adults, we're like, hey, what is going on?
But little kids don't understand that mom, their loved one, who takes care of them,
is cracking an egg on their forehead.
And then there were a couple where, and I'm not laughing at it, okay?
I'm not laughing at it because I got into a big talk, chat with my wife because she freaking hates it.
And so, I mean, I don't hate it, but I don't like it either.
It's just, what are we doing to the kids, man?
Stop it.
Just for video clicks, you're going to crack an egg on your kids' head while they're thinking you're making them a cake.
plus on top of which sometimes eggs are hard man that freaking hurts one little kid
it didn't crack the egg till like the third time how many times you got to hit the kid in the
head before you don't so just stop it okay stop cracking the eggs on your kids head it's not
funny well it's a little funny but I'm not laughing at it okay I like the adult ones it's
kind of funny it was cute it was funny but the kids I mean the kids are like
Hey, that hurt.
What are you doing?
And I saw one couple where the mom did it to the girl,
and the girl was like, what is going on?
And she starts freaking out.
And the dad comes over and then does it to the mom.
And the kid laughs and realizes that it was okay.
But it only took the dad to come over and say,
hey, it's okay, baby.
Don't worry about it.
And crack the egg out of the mom's head so that, you know,
they think it's a joke.
Now, I mean, some kids cry.
Some kids holler.
It's just stop it.
Okay. Stop with the egg crack challenge, okay? I don't want to laugh anymore at the egg crack challenges, okay?
People in my house don't like it and gosh darn it, I don't like it either. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat.
All right, more trends. I see a story where this wedding has a tattoo artist at the beginning so that people can come to the wedding of the pre-wedding party, I guess it was.
was and get tattoos.
And there was a video montage of multiple wedding attendees being tattooed.
And they brought in a tattoo artist and they agreed to have a tattoo.
It was, the post was viewed, you know, a bunch of times.
And people were all mad thinking that it was insane, that people were going to get tattoos, you know, for on your wherever before the wedding to remember the wedding.
It doesn't say what the tattoos were.
like does it say you know
Mindy and Bob
with the date for the wedding
so you receive one tattoo
and the tattoo artist
is there at a
pre-party maybe so no one
was drunk everyone okayed it
so it's
I kind of laugh I feel like
well okay whatever you want to have a tattoo artist
at your at your wedding
fine do that however
here's the thing
here's the thing
okay they didn't
bring the tattoo artist in to say,
hey, how would you like a tattoo remembering our day?
We really appreciate you being here.
Here's a tattoo that says a heart with, you know,
Bob and Lori and the date on it.
Or whatever, whatever it is.
But, you know, whatever remembering this day.
It still costs you money to get it done.
They were off, well, we were made it cheaper for the,
for the attendees.
but you had to individually pay for the tattoo.
So, uh, no.
No?
I'm not paying extra for that.
Uh, I mean, I kind of get the idea that it was kind of cool that you brought a tattoo artist
at the wedding.
Uh, and so you're there for the little cocktail hour and you're giving a tattoo to
whoever wants a tattoo.
But the wedding party should be fronting the bill for.
for that, right? It shouldn't be saying, hey,
we're gonna, there's a tattoo artist over there giving away
tattoos, well, not really giving away.
It's still gonna cost you 60 bucks, but we really appreciate you coming to the wedding.
Now, I don't know if the wedding party gets a cut from the tattoo artist,
you know, depending on how many tattoos gets done and the wedding party gets some extra cash.
Maybe that's how they did it. Maybe they said, hey, the donation, some of it goes to the
wedding party, you know, for the wedding, whatever. I guess maybe that's,
better if that was the case, but it doesn't say that.
It just says that attendees were offered to get a tattoo and still have to pay 60 bucks.
So be ready for the new trend if you're invited to a wedding this year because, or if you have been invited to a wedding,
I'd love to hear from you chewing the fat at the blaze.com if a tattoo artist was there.
And what the tattoo was, because it doesn't say what the tattoos were.
It was just, hey, you could get a tattoo prior to our wedding here at the cocktail party.
And so I guess you can get any kind of tattoo you want, right?
I mean, if you're paying for it, you're not getting one that remembers the wedding, right?
You're only, you're going to get one that you want.
And so 60 bucks is probably a pretty fair price knowing what I know about tattoos.
And so, you know, it's probably a pretty good deal.
I guess.
I don't know.
It just seems weird.
If you're going to have a wedding party, then you're going to offer drinks at a cocktail party.
hey, and if you want to get a tattoo
remembering us, there's a tattoo artist over there
that'll do it for you. We're covering the tab.
But that's not what it said.
So we talked yesterday about all the strikes going on
and everybody wanting more money.
And then I see a story that talks about
everyone who wants to take a new job
wants at least $80,000 a year
for that new job.
The amount of money most workers want to accept
for a job right now reached a record high.
Yeah, so did everything else.
I could understand.
Understand that.
So employers have been trying to keep pace with wage demands, pushing the average full-time
offer up to $69,475.
That's 14% surge in the past year.
And so wages are, you know, have been increasing and they've been recognized as the
driving force in inflation.
Really?
So because I want more money, that's driving inflation.
All right.
I'm not a money guy.
Maybe that's true.
I just feel like people are saying, hey, look at the prices of everything.
I need more money to do this job.
Please, that's what I kind of feel like.
I feel like that's not the driving force on inflation.
But again, I, you know, I'm not a money guy.
I just feel like that that is not correct.
But good luck.
Good luck if you could make that happen.
Look, I just saw a sign.
I don't know it's true.
But, and I haven't been to a Buckees in quite some time.
Remember, I'm kind of, I'm not on a boycott of Buckees, but I don't go out of my way to go there anymore
because of their anti-Semai tractor, trailer, driver motto, but that's another story.
But someone posted a sign of a help wanted sign in front of a Buckees, and it looks pretty
interesting if you wanted to work there.
You know, it goes down the list.
Cashier, gift, maintenance, warehouse, and grocery stocker, $18 bucks an hour,
restroom crew, $20 an hour, food service and car wash,
$21 an hour. Team lead, $20 to $23 an hour. Department manager, $25 to $33 an hour. Assistant food
service manager, $33 to $42 an hour. Full time is 35 to 50 hours, no experience necessary.
If you work your way up to assistant general manager, that's $100 to $150,000. A car wash manager is $125,000. A food
service manager is $125 to $175,000 and a general manager is $150,000 to $225,000.
This is a sign apparently posted in front of a Buckees.
And then it says 401K, 100% match up to 6%.
Three weeks paid time off.
Use it, cash it, roll it, health care, part time available, plus $2 an hour for overnight.
apply at buckies.com and that's b uc dash e-es dot com that's not bad that's not bad although you're working
for buckies and then you have to be anti-semitractor trailers so is it worth 20 bucks an hour
it might be it might be and look we just we just did a story well no i didn't i was in the fat
pile and i never got to it but misoice bici is discontinuing the mirage and apparently
that's the last under $20,000
car.
So that's great.
The middle of the road new car costs
over $48,000,
up 30%
since 2019.
And I wonder why people want more money for their jobs.
Huh. And used cars,
according to this, the average
July price was $27,000.
Also a 30% hike from
2019.
Huh. So I wonder why
people,
People want more money.
That's so weird.
It's so weird that that's happening.
And don't forget, my economic indicator proves truer and truer every day.
More cars broken down along the roadways because people trying to keep their cars longer,
but they can't afford the upkeep.
So they wait until the last possible moment if something goes wrong and it breaks down.
And then you have to get it fixed.
And so, you know, that means that people are struggling.
and they need more money.
And they're not going out and buying a $50,000 car to drive.
I mean, it's just incredible to be.
I understand wanting more money.
We all want more money.
Many of us need more money.
Many of us aren't even close to what we were making a few years ago.
But hey, that's the driving force on inflation.
I know.
I know it is.
That's what the business gurus say.
So they must be correct.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
I don't know that I believe this story.
Okay.
This story claims that malls are coming back.
Okay?
They claim here that according to a recent report from analytics firm
CoreSite research, malls are back from 12.
2021 to 2022, retail sales at malls increased 11% to over $800 billion.
Foot traffic at top-tier malls, where the average shopper makes 200,000 plus per year,
increased 12% in 2022 compared to 2019.
I feel like that's not true.
I feel like they claim here in this study that it looked like the rise of e-commerce would kill them all.
Brands have figured out that customers want both.
They have invested in Omni-Channel marketing,
which promotes both online shopping and physical stores to drive growth.
According to this story, Gent Ziers may have missed the halcyon of mall days,
but they are mall loyal,
a survey conducted by International Council of Shopping Centers.
I love the International Council of Shopping Centers,
almost as much as I love CoreS site.
research found that roughly the same share of Gen Z respondents shopped at brick and mortar stores
97% as online 95%. Yeah, brick and mortar stores are not malls. Okay. I don't know. I feel like this is
when is the last time you have been to a mall? I couldn't tell you. Now maybe going to a store
in a town center counts as a mall when they are looking at these numbers, but to me it doesn't.
I don't know the last time
I mean I guess my wife went up to this outlet mall
That's up the road from here
I guess that counts as going to a mall
But that's not what we're thinking of
When we think of a mall, right?
You know, we're talking about going inside
And, you know, having Annie's pretzels
And, you know, smelling those god-awful candles
And having some guy with little drones
Flying around your head
and some lady trying to spray perfume on you as you walk by.
That's a mall, okay?
That's what I'm talking about.
I feel like the resurgence of those are done.
I mean, they're closing down everywhere.
I talked about what malls should be used for.
If ESPN is going to start having drone races, professional drone races,
they should use the malls in cities as,
their stadiums for drone contests.
But hey, that's just me.
But hey, balls are coming back.
Are they?
Speaking to being over,
I don't know if my main man,
Ye is over or not yet,
but there's reports that he has now turned over
all the reins of his multiple businesses
to the new wife, Bianca Sensore.
She is, and I don't even know
that their marriage is actually legal.
I feel like they got married and they said, yeah, we're married, and they never got it certified by the state.
I guess, you know, I'm okay with that.
I don't think the state should be involved in marriages anyway.
If people want to be married, that's their business, not the states.
It's just another money grab from the states, but I digress.
So he is in big time trouble.
And I was looking at, like, what is happening with my man, yay?
He's going on.
So I was looking at like, he's not a billionaire anymore.
All right.
that after Adidas canceled the
Yeezy collab
following his anti-Semitic
and anti-black comments
sales have tanked
and last year the brand's headquarters
were facing eviction over
unpaid rent
he has being sued
by former business managers
who filed a $4.5 million
case for unpaid wages
and breach of contract after
he allegedly fired him without
cause. He also had to make
number of undisclosed settlements to ex-employees over toxic workplace and discrimination allegations.
He's facing other lawsuits, including a $250 million defamation case filed by George Floyd's family over untrue comments.
The yeas he founder made about George's death.
I'd like to see that case because I bet they weren't untrue.
I bet they were just, they don't want people actually talking about the truth of George Floyd's death.
you know, the truth where the cop killed this angel of a man.
More recently, Kanye West attorneys officially served him,
noticed that they were quitting.
The firm reportedly had a hard time tracking Yeh down
as he stopped replying to messages
and wasn't staying at his usual addresses.
So, Bianca's got a lot of their hands.
And I don't know what's going to happen to Yey's businesses.
And you would think, man, he turned it over to her.
I don't know who she is.
Maybe she's going to do wonderful things for the Yeh brand.
But the ex, the ex-wife, you know, the actual billionaire in today's world, Kim Kardashian,
she may have been able to help and turn some things around for Yeh.
And that would have been good for Yay, been good for the kids, it would have been good for Kim.
But no.
Yay is out there with the new wife, and she is taking control.
So I don't know, yay, man.
I don't know what you need to do, but bro, take your meds or something.
Maybe he's in love.
Maybe he's in love.
And he just said, look, I can't do it right now.
I don't have the mental fortuity to do it.
Fertuity, fortitude, whatever.
He just doesn't have it to do it.
So take it over and save me.
You know, good luck.
Good luck.
Yeah.
Good luck.
Also, good luck to Oliver Anthony.
You know, the artist for the viral hit Rich.
men north of Richmond. It debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 song charts. So that is awesome.
He is the first artist ever to launch atop the list with no prior chart history in any form.
So that is pretty amazing. Pretty amazing for Oliver Anthony. And we'll see if he can make his way.
He appears to be the kind of man that's going to be, it's going to be. It's going to be.
able to make it through the headwinds that have come his way and will continue to come his way.
I don't know why. I mean, any time you go against the establishment, you're going to be
fighting the, fighting the powers that be because you're against them.
Who are you against? Oh, that's right. The rich men, north of Richmond.
So good luck, Oliver. Good luck. The numbers are incredible.
Officially released August 11th.
It drew 17.5 million streams.
It sold 147,000 downloads.
That's according to Illuminate.
It wasn't being promoted on the radio.
It did get 553,000 radio airplay audience impressions,
mostly on country stations.
Debuted number one on the digital song sales chart
and number four on streaming songs.
Okay, whatever.
his name is after his grandfather, Oliver Anthony.
That's his stage name.
His real name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford.
He was the first video, obviously, on a YouTube account that spotlights unsigned
Americana and Country Acts in the Virginia, West Virginia region.
And remember the first video, I mean, we've seen live performances now, but that first
video and the video that is the song, Richmond, North of Richmond, where he's,
is just with his Gretsch guitar and a microphone and a couple of dogs.
It's freaking awesome.
It's just a, it hits home, man.
It hits home for everyone.
So again, good luck, Oliver.
You know, he said he's turned down record deals and he didn't want $8 million and he
didn't want a jet.
And so the pressure's on.
The pressure's on.
So again, good luck, Oliver.
Good luck.
With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.

Conditions apply.
So over the weekend, we found out that Russia's Luna 25 spacecraft crashed while attempting a moon landing.
That's kind of a bummer for the old Russia space program.
the vehicle, according to the Russian Space Agency, the vehicle ceased to exist.
Yeah, no kidding.
That's a big time setback for Russia because that was a big deal when that rocket went off and we're going back to the moon.
And, you know, I just want people to know that the moon is ours.
Okay, you can land down all you want Russia, but the moon is ours.
Obviously, they can't land it on all they want.
Now, we have India who sent up a spacecraft, and that's supposed to touch down tomorrow.
If you're listening live, today is the 22nd of August, 2023.
India is supposed to touch down on the dark side of the moon tomorrow, the 23rd of August,
2023.
We'll see.
We'll see.
It'll be the first for India and a credibility boost for its small but growing space program.
They've set aside, according to this story, $1.5 billion for its Department of Space.
You know, NASA has, what, 25 or $30 billion, something like that.
So we'll see.
We'll see what happens to the Chandrayon 3 spacecraft from India.
And see if that, I mean, we, they're unmanned.
So nobody died yet.
But we'll see if the Chandrian 3 ceases to exist.
Who knows?
I don't know.
I don't know why we want to go to the dark side of the moon anyway.
I know there's ice.
I guess it could turn into water if there's actually ice there and we could bring it back.
That'd be awesome.
If that actually could happen, I'm all for that.
If there's ice being created on the dark side of the moon and we can grab it and bring it back to Earth for water and enough of it to make a difference, that's good.
I don't know that we can.
And I don't know that there's a hose long enough to suck it up from the moon to the earth.
but okay I mean build one Elon what are you doing you're doing nothing is what you're doing
build a hose that'll hook up that we can put up to the moon and then suck water back to the earth okay
uh it'll hit some of the satellites going around so make it pretty durable because if it's you know
if it's just hanging out in space something's going to hit it pretty soon right so we're looking at
uh what they're saying that we want to use the moon's natural resources to sustain human colonies
because they want to use the moon as a launch pad for space exploration for the next generation, right?
So, okay, you know, let's hope that that works.
It's only 238,000 miles.
We can't make a hose that long.
Come on now.
Stop it.
In your head, you just thought of a hose going from the earth to the moon.
And thinking to you.
yourself, you know, it might actually work. No, it won't. I hate to break it to you,
but it won't work. But it'd be funny. And it's something to think about it. And we need,
you know, hey, look, we need the moons resources. The muns? We need the moons resources.
There's no doubt about that. And I, you know, Bezos, what are you doing over there,
Blue Origin? Nothing. Uh, you just got a 35 million contract from NASA that helped develop solar
cells. Uh, you know, okay. And that's, you know, what that, what that, what, that, what,
that is, is they want to crush up rock from the moon and create power from that.
Okay, well, get to it.
Make that happen.
For $35 million, you know, good luck.
That's just the beginning of that government deal.
I guarantee you that.
Then I saw something I didn't know that we were using.
I apologize, but people in the space station, the ISS are using this thing called Astrobee.
And it's a free-flying robotic system that has.
helps astronauts on the ISS with routine tasks.
So I guess there's three of them, these cube-shaped robots,
and they use electric fans to fly through the microgravity environment.
And they're equipped with cameras and sensors that allow them to see and navigate their surroundings.
Astro bees can be operated autonomously or by astronauts,
and they can be programmed to perform a variety of tasks,
such as taking inventory, documenting experiments, and moving cargo.
So there's your next movie.
Astro be gone mad.
And so what could possibly go wrong?
We're using robots in space.
Nothing.
Nothing could go wrong.
That's what could go wrong.
And speaking of NASA, I see where there's a company, again,
we got more news on a new company trying to create flying cars using technology from NASA.
I feel like this might be the same company we talked about earlier in the year as well.
and they're getting closer to
closer to actually
getting them out there.
They say the company,
which is just a concept now,
specializes in vertical takeoff and landing
of the vehicles.
And they are
plans for the Epiphany
transporter, a wingless
flying vehicle that they imagine
could carry passengers directly to their
destinations at high speed.
No burdensome wings.
It morphs
into the they fold up so it fits into a traditional one car garage uh-huh and epiphany
transported would provide many of the same benefits of an aircraft without many of the
detriments uh it's swift cruises at speeds of 160 miles an hour and isn't as loud as
traditional aircraft yeah because i mean you're looking at what uh i mean an aircraft engine is
140 decibels at takeoff uh that's uh
I don't want that coming out of my neighbor's garage.
Okay, sorry, I don't want that coming out of my neighbor's garage.
I don't want it coming out of my garage.
So apparently, the Epiphany transporter,
at a distance of only 50 feet, generates around 55 decibels.
Okay.
So that's not bad, if that's true, if that's true.
I mean, a motorcycle, they say here is roughly 95 decibels,
and they're telling you that this flying machine,
the Epiphany transporter,
is going to
only have 55 decibels.
Okay.
All right.
They say it'll carry two passengers
in addition to luggage
and personal items
and still being able to do
with its thrusters folded up
fit inside a standard one car garage
like I said.
Yeah, okay.
So is that cubbing?
Good luck.
I don't see it happening.
I mean, obviously
the epiphany transporter
will be made and they'll be used.
But on a regular basis,
no way.
They're not going to allow it.
We've got drugs.
drones flying around. We've got airlines flying around. We've got helicopters. We have, you know,
air ambulances and a rich guy helicopters flying over and military airplanes and public transport
airlines, airplanes, and UPS and FedEx airplanes. I mean, I see them all come over my head
a thousand times a day. And now you're expecting to have people fly cars around the neighborhoods?
Yeah, that's not going to happen. Okay. I told you.
It's not going to happen.
They're going to have to figure out a way that you can drive these on the road and go outside of the city limits.
Once you're outside of the metroplexes, then you'll be able to fly and you'll be able to use that on the highway.
And the little takeoff runways on the sideway on top of the highway and just take off and fly above and you'll only be able to fly.
I would say, I mean, I don't know how high they're going to allow you to fly above the interstate.
but it's you know i can see that happening where because that would be you could fly lower than
lower than the airplanes and lower than the helicopters unless they're you know coming down to rescue
and you could also uh the drones delivering goods goods inside the metroplexes would not be out there
right you wouldn't have drones out there and oh is that a hot air balloon is that a balloon from
China? No, that's too high. We wouldn't let it fly that high. I mean, there's so much to think about
that there's no way they're going to allow this inside the cities. I'm sorry, they just aren't.
I know, it's a bummer. I want flying cars to, but it's just not going to happen. And, I mean,
yes, I want flying cars, but I don't think there's any Fed Chi seating in the Epiphany Transporter. So,
I'm already out.
It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.

Okay, I never did congratulate Spain as they won the first, it's first women's world cup title in women's soccer.
They defeated England over the weekend one to nothing this past weekend.
Congratulations to Spain for beating England one to nothing.
And I told you that the head coach of the U.S. women's national soccer team would not be around long.
Correct.
He's already out.
They already announced an interim replacement to the former head coach.
And surprisingly, it's a female.
She's, it's been the honor of my life to coach the team, said Andavaski,
but he's out, have a nice day.
Now, the temporary replacement, who there's no way they're going to get rid of her now,
the Twyla Kilgore, she is the first American-born woman to earn a pro-coaching license for soccer.
So congratulations to,
Twila, Twilla, T-W-I-L-A, Kilgore,
I'm sure you'll be great for the U.S. women's national soccer team.
So I see where a pig kidney was implanted into a human
and is still working after a month.
That's a big step toward using animals to help ease the shortage of donated organs.
And if you need a new organ, and I feel like we've talked about this before,
I feel like if you need a new organ, it's not going to matter.
Just if you need it, if we're going to come from a pig, I don't care.
Is it going to keep me alive?
Well, yes, sir.
Well, then go ahead and put it in.
So this pig kidney, genetically modified pig kidney,
and they put it into a brain dead man with his family's consent.
It continues to function normally 30 some odd days later.
It's the longest such an organ has worked inside a person.
and it raises hopes that pig organs can one day help human patients in need of donations.
Yeah, that would be great.
I mean, more than 100,000 of people are waiting for organs.
And, you know, like I said, if you need an organ, I don't care where that, I don't care where it came from.
Just put it in me.
I'm not talking about stealing it from people.
Stop it.
So the success relies on advanced gene editing techniques.
of a sugar molecule known as alpha-gal produced by most mammals but not humans causes acute organ
rejection by the body after surgery. In recent news is the fifth demonstration of kidneys from pigs
modified to not produce the molecules being used as transplants. Okay. So I guess what if you, I mean,
if you talk about alpha-gal, you're talking about red meat allergy. Who knows? I don't know. Last year,
remember they did the pig heart in the guy and he died a couple months later after being infected
with an animal virus i don't know 8,000 people die each year awaiting organ transplants if we can
save only one isn't it worth it yes it is hey we got this uh we got this hog heart go ahead
put it in whatever i'm fine uh no problem no we we got a heart from this whale
Isn't that a little big?
Not for you.
Okay.
Well, put it in that.
We're fine.
If it works, it works.
You can quote me on that.
But if it doesn't, you may end up in jail or, you know, dead.
I'm reading a story.
This morning I read this story about this guy,
MacArthur Wheeler,
who was robbing banks in 1995.
Okay, so he executed a bank robbery,
and a couple of them.
in Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Banks in 1995, without wearing a mask or any real disguise.
His face was clearly captured by surveillance cameras.
However, he believed that he would be invisible to the CCTV cameras
because he rubbed lemon juice all over his face,
which according to him would render him undetectable to the cameras.
so he had no problem doing the heists and the bank robberies because the cameras
wouldn't be able to take his picture because of the lemon juice all over his face.
Now he was apprehended and the moment when he was apprehended,
they presented him with the CCTV footage and he expressed his disbelief to the officers
uttering, but I wore the juice.
That is awesome.
You know, I don't know.
I guess that's part of this
Dudding Kruger effect,
which is a cognitive bias
where an individual's
with limited competence
in a particular task
tend to overestimate their abilities.
So it's really, really funny.
I know, you know,
the lemon juice theory.
I don't know.
Was it because of some TikTok video
that, oh, there wasn't any TikTok then?
Okay, maybe it was Instagram
that showed him some stupid thing.
No, there wasn't any Instagram
of 1995? Oh, okay.
I don't know where
he got the idea then.
It had to be some crazy internet
thing, right? Just rub
lemon juice all over your face,
and you'll be invisible to cameras.
And he did.
And he went in and robbed
the banks. It doesn't say how much money
he attempted to get away with
in these bank robbies, and I didn't
care enough to actually go back and look
at the entire story. I just
know that he believed that lemon
juice would make him undetectable by the CCTV cameras, and that was not true.
Huh.
Go figure.
So if you're looking for a way to make some money, how about not rob a bank with lemon
juice on your face?
Because it certainly does not render you undetectable.
An institution has offered a million dollar prize to anyone who could solve a famous math
problem that has puzzled mathematicians for more than a century.
The Riemann hypothesis.
First proposed by German mathematician Bernard Riemann in 1859
is considered to be one of the hardest and most important unsolved problems of pure mathematics.
The study of thinking about maths rather than applying it to the real world.
The hypothesis is based on the Riemann Zeta function, also attributed to Bernard Riemann.
The real part of every non-trivial zero of the Riemann Zeta function is half.
1-2
Now the answer to the
Riemann hypothesis
is a simple yes or no
but there are many hypothetical ways to get
there, all of which are extremely
difficult. All right, let me give it a shot.
Yes. Did I win the million?
Am I end? No,
we got a 50-50 chance.
The Holy Grail of mathematics.
I know, I know.
And you see the problem
and I'll tweet out the problem for the show tweet today
because I'm not going to get into it.
But there's a lot of good evidence that leads mathematicians to believe
the Riemann hypothesis is true, but it still needs to be proven.
So it doesn't matter if you can figure it out and show
that you worked it out and have the answer, then it's all you.
right? So the Clay Mathematicians Institute of Cambridge, Massachusetts has offered one million
US dollars to anyone who could verifiably solve the problem. Well, the Riemann Hypothesis was
designated as the Millennium Problem in 2000, the year 2000, and one of seven mathematical
problems that are deemed to be crucial to increasing and disseminating mathematical.
knowledge. So good luck. There's your chance to make a million dollars if you can say yes or no.
Get to the correct answer of the Ryman Hypothesis and Clay Mathematicians Institute. And I'm a huge fan
of Clay Mathematicians Institute. They will give you a million dollars. Now I already answered it yet.
I don't have my work. Let me get that work to you.
I'm looking at the actual problem.
It's just gobbly gook is what it is.
The Clay Mathematicians, what are they?
The Clay Mathematicians Council or School of Cambridge or whatever their title is.
It's the Clay Mathematicians Institute of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
They just want you to answer gobbly good is all it is.
But if you can figure it out, it's all you.
good luck that is that should be the title of the show today it's not going to be but it should be
because i've given multiple people good luck wishes and this is another one uh if you can do this and
come up with that answer for the rhyme and hypothesis you are awesome so good luck okay i'll title
the show that the title of the show is going to be good luck with that i mean you already know
that now since you've saw the title and have listened to the show but
You're welcome.
