9-0-3-93 is the phone number. Remember the days. Remember the days. When you said, man, if they just had a lawnmower that would mow the lawn on its own. And remember all the videos of the, what were the guys that we called the, you know, crazy guys with their remote control lawn mowers. We got the remote control cars, so they had the remote control lawnmowers. And then we got, you know, everybody was all happy with their Roomba in their house. I love that stupid thing.

I mean, if you live in the right kind of house, it's perfect. A lot of layouts of homes that doesn't quite lend itself to, I will say. but one particular house I lived in, it was great for. Long hallway, living room and front room kind of all together. It's great. That thing, just turn that thing on and go. Now, the Roomba, the I-Robot. They're building the lawnmower.

How many of you are saying, it's about time? Well, I mean, where you've been? Well, they've been fighting the FCC. see. They finally have been granted approval to make their hands-free mowing bot. Now, there's been some people like the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. I've got to tell you, I've been radio for a long time. How come I've never been asked to be a part of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory? They argue that the mower signal would interfere with telescopes.

Come on. Stop it. No, people can't have the Rumba lawnmowers. My telescope will be screwed up. I mean, okay. But the FCC said, no. No, no, you'll be fine. But it's still going to be a while.

They still have to explore all kinds of broadband viability and stuff. Come on. You have the technology. We have it. Let's go. The days of having children and watching them be your remote control lawnmower are over. We want the robot lawnmower. Although, now that we have the robots delivering me drinks,

I mean, we've got the news of the robots delivering drinks at bars now, which are, you know, kind of cool. So, kind of they're getting us used to having robots around. They'll be our servers. They'll bring us drinks. We'll bring us our appetizers. And, you know, then pretty soon they can mower a lawn. And the I-Robot will be gone.

So they better hop sing on the I-Robot Rumba for the lawn quickly. And it's not going to be as fast as your lawn crew. If you have a lawn crew that comes in, they've got, you know, four or five guys and they knock it out. knock it out. Done and gone looks beautiful. Gone. Oh, the guys are here to mow the lawn. Fifteen minutes later, gone, done, beautiful.

The iRobot Rumba is not going to be doing that for you. But the robot pushing the lawnmower. Now that, that'll work for you. So as long as we have the robots that are delivering us drinks and bringing us food, No problem. I'll take the robot pushing the lawn more, mowing the lawn. He's a cake. Love it.

Do you ride bicycles? Bicyclists. Are you a bicyclist? Bicycles? Because I see them everywhere. And they ride in groups. And, you know, I always wanted them to ride on the sidewalks. But then I got into a big fight with a lot of bicyclists.

And there's, I know one particular person who is a, you know, rides his bike. and he wants me to call it their bicyclists. That's how you pronounce it. Okay, whatever. I got you. But then I got into a big fight with a bunch of bicyclists, cyclists, and they told me they get to ride on the road too. And they, you know, it's for their safety,

and they ride in groups and we're supposed to, you know, let them be okay. Because I always thought, look, we spend millions of dollars on sidewalks. We spent millions of dollars on rounding the curbs and making the curves flat at the corner. I don't know, maybe the bike could ride there. But I guess they can ride on the roads. No problem. They don't have to stop the entire red light most of the time, though.

Wish someone would give them, you know, maybe an officer could write them a ticket for that. But no, that's okay. I got it. It's fine. You're a bike. I got it. You don't want to wait the whole red light. Don't wait the whole red light.

You're on a bike. I got it. But remember the days when you used to be able, when the drunks, You know, the people that would, you know, get drunk and lose their driver's license were able to ride a bike. And you'd say, oh, yeah, that's so-and-so. Lost his license a couple years ago, and he just rides his bike now. And you'd see him, you know, struggling once in a while, shaking his little bike back to wherever he lived because he was drunk. And you thought, yep, that's so-and-so.

That's the way it is. I mean, they're making it tough for everybody. Now, not only when they have the breathalyzer to start your car, if you've been for the DUIs, right? A lot of people have those. Your car will not start if you're drunk. And that's it. That's a tough one if you're drunk, too.

If you're a drinker, man, I know a couple of people that have a little problem with the old breathalyzer on the car. They're begging people. to blow into that thing. Not that that ever happens, because that would be wrong and illegal. But now they have a breathalyzer for a bike lock. So you can't even ride your bike drunk anymore.

What does America come to when you can't ride your bike drunk? So now you just got to walk, call a car, call Uber. All right. actually that's probably a better idea just call Uber just call Uber now those of you that have iPhones

I do not I have a Samsung Android I don't have an iPhone so I'm not familiar enough to tell you exactly the ins and outs of what the airdrop is my understanding is is that the airdrop is

I can send photos information stuff to people on my Airdrop list, other iPhone users, and other people who have Airdrop. So that if you're on my list, I can send it to you and you'll get it. Also, it's a program that if you're in a crowd, let's say, I'm sure this is with what they thought about when they did this, is if you're in a crowd at a concert, at any kind of speech and event, you take a picture, you do this, you can throw it up to the irdrop and then other iPhone users who have airdrop and who have opened their service

that you may not know each other, but the air drop is open, will get your air drop so that they'll, and they can, you know, confirm or deny. You can, they can say, oh, you know, you got an air drop from, you know, whatever number or however it's tagged and then show you a preview and you can accept or deny. And, you know, they think that's kind of cool. Well, in London, now we have cyber flashing. The British Transport Police currently investigating a strange case of unsolicited thing picks. While

commuting to work on a London train, lady in question saw a preview image of a stranger's thing pop up on her iPhone sent via Airdrop. Followed by another after she declined to accept the first. So she declined it. Said, oh, ah, no,

no, no, I don't want to do that. Declined. And he just kept popping them up into Airdrop on the train. This cyber flashing. So she declined them. She called the police. Of course, they kind of have to investigate.

It's cyber flushing. But since she declined the pictures, there's no digital trail to follow up on. But he had to be kind of close, right? I'm not sure what the range is of the airdrop. I mean, I'm probably sure it's, you know, I can't just air drop something here and have you hope to get it in Pennsylvania, from Texas to Pennsylvania. But within a close vicinity.

so he had to be on the tube or the train. Life in the train age, baby. Cyber flashing. That's good stuff. That is good stuff. And when you think of the future, what's the number one thing you think is going to happen that you kind of want to happen, but you don't? You think to yourself, you know, it would be kind of cool.

And we've kind of talked about it on this show a couple of times. It'd be kind of cool and you'd just be easier. But on the other hand, you know that it's not really the good thing to do. And that is get chipped. It's coming. You know it is. Well, yes, it is. They've been toying with it off and on for quite some time.

And now there's a company in Stockholm that has a, Started a program of chipping people who worked there. So the employees can use the microchips. It's inserted under their skin, back of their hand. They can go to the gym. They can go shopping. Get in the building, out of the building. Work here.

Access here. Access here. Access there. Now, it's completely voluntary right now. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. 20% of the 250 people who work there are using it because it's a, you know, trial, you know, to kind of see how it feels.

I got to tell you, I want to do it bad because I'm just tired of. You're pulling cards out and pulling IDs out and do this. Just, boop. Okay, we're good. Have a nice day. I'm in. I'm in. I'm out.

Boom, boom. Now on the other hand of that, somewhere along the line. I was told. That's kind of the mark of the beast. Here we go. This is the Jeff Fisher show on the Blaze Radio Network.
