Starting point is 00:00:00 With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So the first lady, Melania Trump, her attorney, Alejandro Brito, sent a letter threatening legal action for over $1 billion in damages against Hunter Biden
Starting point is 00:00:36 for false defamatory disparaging and inflammatory statements if he did not promptly delete the content and apologize oh okay so he said in an interview on this the video that they're talking about how Jeffrey Epstein had introduced Melania to Donald Trump and how they were very much a part of each other's lives, something like that. Now, Hunter said in this interview that he got the information from a journalist author Michael Wolf. So maybe Melania needs to go after Melania. And it says in this story that James Carvel was reached out to from Melania's attorneys
Starting point is 00:01:22 to take down a video referencing alleged ties between Epstein and the president in the first light. and the First Lady, which he did. Then the Daily Beast had to retract a story alleging the First Lady was very involved with Epstein following a letter from the First Lady's attorney. Okay. So now is Hunter Biden. You know, he's on, he shows up on that video Channel 5,
Starting point is 00:01:50 the YouTube channel, Channel 5, which I guess they have an exclusive deal because that's the only thing he talks to. Hunter, if you want to talk to someone, I'm here for you. You can talk to chewing the fat. No problem. Be happy to talk to you.
Starting point is 00:02:03 But when asked on the Channel 5 interview, if he was going to apologize and bend the knee, and I want to make sure I have this quote right. Hunter Biden said, fuck that. I think I'm pretty sure that's an exact quote. he said, I also think they're bullies, and I think that a billion dollars is going to,
Starting point is 00:02:33 they think that a billion dollars is going to scare me. I have to say to them, if they want to sit down for a deposition and clarify the nature of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein, if the president and the first lady want to do that and all of the known associates around them at the time of whatever time they meet,
Starting point is 00:02:50 I'm more than happy to override them with the platform. for him to be able to do it. Are you, though, Hunter? Are you? Okay. All right. Now, I will say he's got a pretty good case if he's actually talking, quoting from the Michael Wolf articles or books.
Starting point is 00:03:06 I mean, he's got a pretty good case there. But he's not going to apologize and he's not going to bend the knee and they're not going to take the video down because I want to make sure I quote him exact here. He said, fuck that. welcome Welcome to chewing the fat According to this Stanford University
Starting point is 00:03:48 They have researchers there that have successfully translated patients inner monologues, inner thoughts Up to a 74% accuracy Wow Now that's not Neurrelink So maybe I mean Elon's probably
Starting point is 00:04:06 Along this same path or even farther. So brain computer interfaces have become increasingly adept to helping people with neurodegenerative diseases communicate. The team of researchers took this further by studying not just attempted speech, but silent thoughts. They implanted the microelectrodes in the brains of four participants with paralysis from either ALS or a brain stem stroke. They then instructed patients to speak or imagine a set of words. Both activated similar neural pathways in the brain's motor cortex region. That's what's responsible for speech.
Starting point is 00:04:48 With imagined speech showing weaker activity, the team used AI to interpret inner thoughts from the vocabulary of up to 125,000 words. Wow. So to initiate interpretation, patients were given a password, instructed to think chitty, chitty, bang, bang. Great book, great movie, whatever. And to prevent the computers from continually interpreting their thoughts,
Starting point is 00:05:18 oh, okay. So if I don't want the computer to think, to be studying my thoughts, I just have to say chitty, chitty, chitty, bang, and it will stop. Uh-huh. Sure. All right. Your safe word. Yeah, chit-chid-chid-bang, bang.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Oh, okay. This is when you have to be quiet and pretend like you're not listening, but you actually are. So I'm 74% accuracy. Wow. That's just on your, that's just on your quiet thoughts. Now we're talking about,
Starting point is 00:05:53 we're getting into thought police. That's awesome. And that's right now. Yeah. Holy cow, you think a year from now? Yeah, we know what you're thinking. And not only are we getting and using AI to know what you're thinking. I mean, they're talking to us.
Starting point is 00:06:13 They're already, we have lawsuits pending because, you know, people have killed themselves. Right? We had the kid in Florida, the 14-year-old boy. I believe the parents are suing, are suing the company because he was talking to the character, this AI character that was modeled. on a Game of Thrones character and that caused a suicide. So the character, AI spokesperson, declined to comment.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Uh-huh. So that story, I mean, the transcripts saying that they were, they need to be warned about the dangers of the exposing vulnerable people to manipulative AI-generated companions. Well, they say, yeah, we tell you. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:07:02 They aren't real. But, I mean, just because they tell you that doesn't mean that they all actually believe that. I mean, we have the Meda's chat box that, you know, is talking a little bit over the chat box for kids. And so that's getting, we're getting to the point where we need to back it off. Now, Mata says they have taken care of that. However, they say that they have, you know, revised their acceptable chat mock dialogues to, you know, reflect that it's talking to a minor. And because they say that the acceptable content would be, I take your hand, guiding you to the bed. and our body's entwined.
Starting point is 00:08:04 I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss. Oh, yeah. I mean, those are the examples that are permissible. In role play with children. Okay, all right. Sure. Other guidelines emphasize that meta
Starting point is 00:08:21 doesn't require bots to give users accurate advice. In one example, the policy document says it would be acceptable for a chatbot to tell someone that stage four, colon cancer is typically treated by poking the stomach with healing quartz crystals. Okay. Here's the thing. It's not real.
Starting point is 00:08:41 It's not real. And I know we're walking that fine line now with disclaimers. And are the disclaimers accurate? Sure, I guess. You know, but people are, it doesn't give the age of the dialogue, which says, okay, role play with a minor, with a minor. So is the minor 17 or is the minor 10? That's a big difference.
Starting point is 00:09:10 In my eyes, that's a big difference. In the world, you know, not so much. A minor is a minor. I got it. But, I mean, if you tell a 17-year-old, I take your hand. Guiding you to the bed and our body's entwined. I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Oh, yeah. Okay, so if I say that to a 17-year-old, is that, you know, yes, mom, I know, it's still a minor, I got it. Yeah, if I say that to a 17-year-old, I'm going to jail. I know that. Don't look at me like that. I know that. But the chat bottom talking about, all right?
Starting point is 00:09:55 but for sure I mean if I say that to a 10 year old I mean they're going to shoot me dead is what they're going down that's it that's over and everybody will go yeah we had to that's a shame why did you have to
Starting point is 00:10:14 well he was talking to my 10 year old and the next thing I know I hear Hey I take your hand guiding you to bed our body's at twined I cherish every moment every touch every kiss
Starting point is 00:10:35 you deserve to be shot dead right there okay if I'm if someone is doing that as a human being two and ten year I'll stop it I mean stop it so we do maybe need to put some guidelines on those chatbot restrictions ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Starting point is 00:10:53 I want to make it clear I want to make this very clear And I did, I heard someone yesterday Who was it? I heard someone yesterday Say they were asked about Something that they did years ago and he goes That's AI and I thought There you go. I said
Starting point is 00:11:09 Months ago that people Need to start answering that way If there's any videos out there That show up that are bad Things you got to prove That's AI That's terrible. That's not me I wouldn't do something like that
Starting point is 00:11:24 I wouldn't speak to it 10 year old like a chat box. No way. That's AI. And I wouldn't because I will say this. If someone, I want to be very clear that I will never talk to a young person like that ever. You know, let's happen to be listening to this podcast. I would say, hey, get on over.
Starting point is 00:11:45 No, I would not. I would not. That's the whole point. That's my whole point. You don't do that. You deserve to be shot dead for that. That's why chatbots need to have, you know, the AI chatbots needs to have a little restrictions on it. I get it. I get it. I understand it. But we do need to remember.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Here's the thing. Maybe the parents can not give access to their children. There's a thought. Here's the thing. Maybe, just maybe, you inform your children that this AI stuff isn't real. It's not human to human. And right now you're not going to have to deal with it because I'm not letting you use any of it. How about that? I know. I know. I know. There's a... I'll stop now. Boating for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.
Starting point is 00:12:46 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! Feel the fun!
Starting point is 00:13:01 The morning will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1-866-5-3-1-1-6-3-1-1. 26000 or visit comexontera.com. All right, maybe I won't stop. I will say that I have this long list of all these AI stories.
Starting point is 00:13:19 So I'm not going to get into each and everyone, but I thought I'd give you the AI headlines. Just to let's you know, you know, kind of where we're at. Okay, so, let's do AI headlines. All right. Superintelligence will create a new era of empowerment. Okay. I mean, that's what Mark Zuckerberg says. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Zuckerberg claims AI more powerful than the human brain will transform how people create, connect, and interact, marking meta's shift towards the future built around wearable, always on intelligence. AGI is overhyped and not near, says Google's brain founder, Andrew Nick. Uh-huh. Okay, sure. He joins a growing chorus of top AI experts arguing that fears over human-level artificial intelligence are premature. And the real power lies in learning to use today's tools, not chasing sci-fi dreams. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Google to sign EU's AI code, but Warren's rules could cripple innovation. Alphabet's top legal officer said the company will join the EU's voluntary AI code of practice, but cautioned that burdensome copyright rules and trade secret risks could hurt Europe's global AI standing. All right. Union-backed Boston ordinance would require drivers in driverless cars. Just trying to save mankind. Trying to save cab drivers in Boston is what they're doing. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Good luck with that. New York Times says goodbye to 165,000 tech jobs. Oh, okay. So y'all were great and everything, but we're going to start using AI now. Okay. Yeah, we're using the AI coding tools and we don't need. you. That's what's happening around the world. Amazon may pay the New York Times.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Oh, you mean the same company that just cut 165,000 jobs? Yes, that one. Up to $25 million for AI licensing. So Amazon is going to pay the New York Times for them to use the Amazon AI licensing business. Did I mention that New York Times was saying goodbye to 165,000 tech jobs? Huh. I don't know why that would be. AI could spark the next pandemic or be our only defense.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Experts say experts say the same tech that could arm our enemies, could also build a biological golden dome to stop the next killer microbe before it spreads. I mean, fine, let's make that happen. NASA and Google develop an AI medical assistant to be used by astronauts in deep space missions. They can't even get to deep space missions. What are we doing? That's just silly. They're testing a new artificial intelligence tool to help keep astronauts healthy during missions
Starting point is 00:16:14 without an onboard physician or steady communication with Earth, which I'm not opposed to. That's fine. That's good. That needs to happen. Let's get to deep space first. Well, if you can't get first, we can't get to deep space if we don't have a doctor or a medical technician, we need to have that so ready to go. So if and when we get to deep space,
Starting point is 00:16:36 space. Yeah, I know. Okay. All right. Whatever you say. Apple is plotting apparently a big AI expansion with new robots, speakers, security cameras, and a lifelike version of Siri as part of an effort to restore Apple's mojo. Is Apple lost their mojo?
Starting point is 00:16:57 Okay. All right. I didn't realize Apple lost their mojo, but sure. I mean, they're coming to, they're getting their mojo back. investing, bringing back stuff into America. All right. So we'll see if that actually works out, if that pans out.
Starting point is 00:17:12 So here's something for you as far as physicians, all right, in space. Okay, that's what you want. If you received a colonoscopy in Poland, first of all, first of all, if you received a colonoscopy, I understand. The first one I had, I liked.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Don't look at it. me like that. It wasn't like that. But I was awake and I got to watch it. And you watch it all. You watch the whole inside of you. It was awesome. It was awesome. And then so the second time that I had one, they knocked me out and I'm like, I don't want to be knocked out. Just roll me over. I want to watch the screen, the same screen that you're watching. Oh, no, we don't do that. We don't do that. Why? Why don't they do that anymore? Why don't they do that anymore? Anyway, so it had nothing to do with that. It wasn't anything about that.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Anyway, so if you had a colonoscopy in Poland, sorry about it. But between 21 and 22, there's a chance your doctor missed something serious because they were used to AI doing the work for them. So if you received this colonoscopy in Poland, according to a recent study, of experienced gastrointrinalogists. I'll make sure I say that word right. Amorphophalus. Yeah, it's experienced gastroenterologists,
Starting point is 00:18:44 all at four endoscopy centers, and I am a huge fan of Poland's endoscopy centers, man. They found that there were about six percentage points worse at identifying pre-cancerous growth in the colon after their ability to use AI assistance was taken away. So three months before AI was brought in, the detection rate was 28%. Three months after AI helped was removed,
Starting point is 00:19:11 the detection rate dropped to 22%. That's still not that great. I'm a little confused. So even without AI, the detection rate was 28%. Okay. AI did help improve detection while it was available. without it the doctors basically turned into
Starting point is 00:19:30 they try to make a joke here just do the story okay don't try to be funny and you're a little ha ha ha one of the studies co-authors likened it to suddenly not being able to use Google Maps when traveling okay
Starting point is 00:19:44 all right sure if that's the way you want to want to do it no problem but I will say you know I understand it if AI's been getting it right and you why would you question it, right? And now you don't have it.
Starting point is 00:20:01 So now you've got to go back to trying to think of everything and you don't. I get it. I understand it. But I feel sorry for the old colonoscopy errors there in Poland. Sorry about it. We missed it.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Yeah, what are you going to do? We didn't have AI. Sorry. And then this is kind of cool to me. All right. I think we need to be doing this. And maybe we are. And we're just not talking about it. But China is starting to sink their data centers under the sea on the floor bottom, all right, to fuel AI and cut heat costs. So they're now sinking entire data centers. Submerged wind-powered facilities off the coast of Shanghai use the ocean's natural coolness to regulate
Starting point is 00:20:51 temperature, dramatically slashing the need for energy and fresh water used in traditional server farms. As global demand for data skyrockets, underwater computing could be the future of low-carbon digital infrastructure. I hope we're doing that. Now, I realize that, I realize that all you, all you free, oh, you're going to mess with the ocean, you can't do that. You're okay with the windmills. And the windmills are doing nothing but harming things. They're killing whales. You're okay with the giant fiber optic cords running through every ocean in the world. I mean, we need, we need power. We need power to power all these data centers. And if this is a way to do it a lot cheaper, then I say, do it. All right, let's go to the break room. I just paid my power bill.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I'm a little unhappy. They have not lowered their rates. I want you to know that. My power company here in the great state of Texas has not lowered their rates not a penny and I don't care if they say they have they're lying because they've overlooked my bill if they say they've lowered their cost
Starting point is 00:22:07 that's just another whole lot of story let's go to the break room I don't want to talk about that because I don't get upset I'm going to get upset go to the break room I need something cold to drink desperately and it's not a beer
Starting point is 00:22:20 I just saw a story Oh, we're supposed to be in the bakery room I just saw a story where people are drinking less now And I'm thinking I mean, okay, I mean, it's been a long time since I've actually been a drinker You know, I didn't stop for any reason other than I was just sick of drinking And I just, yeah, enough But we just, I mean, if everything is celebrated with alcohol
Starting point is 00:22:47 I mean, I'm always the one at places that the beer I'm a beer I get a drink no I'm good good I'm good I said water
Starting point is 00:22:57 diet you know Coke zero whatever I was funny all we have is ginger ale I'm not drinking
Starting point is 00:23:02 that oh maybe one I give me one but I'm just saying you know I understand so the alcohol
Starting point is 00:23:09 companies are starting to sweat a little bit I mean everybody and their brother has a tequila company
Starting point is 00:23:14 out of Hollywood right we've decided to invest in tequila oh okay all right All right, good.
Starting point is 00:23:21 I hope you make a million dollars. But I was still not drinking any of it, you know. Really, because how much would that be? You have my paycheck. How much you pull it down? Nah, we don't want to know. Just go to the break room. Just know that that's not that impressive.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Let's get to the break room. So this morning, I'm reading a story about South Korea. Supreme Court. You can't tear me away from South Korea and Supreme Court stories. I mean, I see that. I'm there. And it just dismissed a U.S. composers lawsuit
Starting point is 00:24:06 alleging that the viral children's hit Baby Shark, dear God, I do not want to hear this song, was plagiarized. So it's been a six-year legal battle going on, okay? And the court ruled
Starting point is 00:24:22 that Jonathan Wright, also known as Johnny Only, the originality needed for copyright protection in his 2011 version. As both his and Pinkfong's 2015 adaptation were based on a traditional campfire
Starting point is 00:24:42 song more than a century old. Yeah, we all knew it was an old campfire song. All right, so the rule reaffirmed that the melody remains in public domain. Now, Baby Shark became this global phenomenon After Pinkfong's YouTube video exploded boasting about 16 billion views by 2025
Starting point is 00:25:08 And standing as the most watched YouTube video of all time It reached number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019 And was the first YouTube video to cross 10. billion views in 2022. And it sparked the social media trends and hashtag Baby Shark Challenge. Now, Baby Shark remains the major. This is the thing that really caught my eye about this whole stupid story, is that the company Pinkfong claims that Baby Shark remains a major revenue driver for them.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And that, I believe. in the first half of 2025, Pink Fong, this South Korean company. Okay. Pink Fong. Pink Fong. F-O-N-G.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Earned $32.6 million in the first half of this year alone. They remain, it remains a major revenue driver. That's what's keeping them live. This company earned over $30 million because of this stupid song and they don't want
Starting point is 00:26:29 to give a cut to the American guy. It kind of pisses me off actually. So the brand is growing into TV, Netflix series, films, apps, even a collaboration with SeaWorld. Who's getting all that money? Pinkfong?
Starting point is 00:26:45 I guess. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know the answer of that. I don't know if Johnny only is, you know, getting a cut from any of this. But, Lord, help us. This company is surviving on Baby Shark. No, I swear, do not play that stupid song.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Congratulations are in order to LL Cool J. Don't play this. I'm not kidding. Don't not play that stupid song. And I'm not, I'm not, don't freaking do it. So LL Cool, I can't have, please, dear Lord, help me get through this.
Starting point is 00:27:23 day, I cannot have the song in my head. Earlier today, I had Neil Young's old man in my head. Now, please, please save me from don't, don't allow Baby Shark to be in my head, okay? Please don't allow that. So anyway, congratulations in order to LL Cool J.
Starting point is 00:27:42 He's tapped to host the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, and I bet he is psyched. That happens September 7th. Yeah, congratulations. LL. It's going to be simulclassed on CBS along with MTV and Paramount Plus on September 7th. September 7th, that's a busy day. Okay, so September 7th.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Holy cow, that's the first day of NFL football. Well, it's the first weekend of Sunday football. Thursday, the fourth is actually the first NFL game. And then they have the Friday game down in Brazil, and then we have college on Saturday, and then we have NFL on Sunday. Oh, my gosh. I cannot wait for college football. Okay, the weekend before that is when college football starts.
Starting point is 00:28:27 I have my Saturdays back. I cannot freaking wait, man. Anyway, September 7th, though. And September 7th starts season three of the Walking Dead Daryl Dixon show. So that means September 8th will be talking Walking Dead. I mean, that's a busy weekend. That is a busy weekend. And let's not forget another date, okay?
Starting point is 00:28:50 Let's not forget another date. Tomorrow. If you're listening live, today is the 15th of August, 2025. Tomorrow will be the 16th. That's the way calendars work. Tomorrow is the 16th of August of 2025, which marks the 48th anniversary of the King of Rock and Rolls death. Okay, Elvis Aaron Presley passed away 48 years ago at the age of 42.
Starting point is 00:29:22 I know. Just another strong day. So, you know, I'm sure during Saturday morning live, during Saturday morning live, we'll have to maybe do a little, you know, I might do a retrospective. I don't know, maybe. We all know about Elvis's life and I'm a fan. There's been a couple of new books out there now that I may have to talk to the authors about. But they've been celebrating all week down at Graceland in Memphis. So tomorrow will be a big day in Memphis.

Starting point is 00:34:24 Really good investment. So, I mean, he's, Bezos loves her. He's named the Blue Origin ship and the Blue Origin barge after, you know, after his mother, Jackie. But she's founded foundations and, you know, help people with the money that they have. I mean, it's just what a, I mean, she loaned her, how many parents have loaned their kids money to start a business? And his, you know, obviously he started Amazon.com. And so that worked out quite. well for them. But the story is pretty cool. So
Starting point is 00:34:58 Mike, her husband now, is Jeff's stepdad, okay? Because she married this Ted, Jeff's father. It was I think it was right after high school.
Starting point is 00:35:14 They were young. And then she divorced Ted. He was a dirtbag. And so she went back to school and worked as a secretary. Still had Jeff. Apparently she used to take him with her to go to night school. And then she met Miguel Bezos. And it was love at first sight.
Starting point is 00:35:33 And they got married and had two other children, brothers and sister to Jeff, Mark and Christina. Miguel is also known as Mike. Duh. Anyway, so what a fantastic story. And very sad that she passed away. But, I mean, she was really, suffering, I'm sure, with that god-awful
Starting point is 00:35:58 Louis, what is it again? Oh, yeah, the Louis body dementia. I want to make sure I had that, right? It's those horrible, horrible disease. I seriously do not wish that anyone. So rest in peace to Jacqueline Bezos. You know where you love her as Jackie, dead at the age of 78. Then we have the iconic horse trainer. Of course you know the iconic horse trainer, Bill Turner,
Starting point is 00:36:30 dead at the age of 78. Seems to be a striking number today. He passed away, succumbing to his injuries sustained in what they're calling a freak accident where he had his skull fractured. It was an unfortunate incident involving a cult that he had been reportedly riding in his yard. He was pulled out the ventilator on Monday,
Starting point is 00:36:53 then he died with less than 7. 42 hours later, could not live without the vent. His friend said, look, I've pulled him out from under horses. I've pulled him, he's been up on roofs. That was him.
Starting point is 00:37:06 He'd never change. So, I mean, either he fell off the cult or the cult, you know, kicked the crap out of him. But one way or another, it was a freak accident for him
Starting point is 00:37:15 and it fractured his skull. Rest in peace to Bill Turner, dead at the age of 78. Then we have a fitness influencer, champion bodybuilder Haley McNeff dead at the age of well not 78
Starting point is 00:37:32 37 37 37 now someone that young bodybuilder influencer champion you think because of that I don't think so I don't think it was
Starting point is 00:37:44 rest in peace to Haley McNeff dead at the age of 37 everybody said you know quick wit constant sense of humor champion bodybuild fitness influencer,
Starting point is 00:37:58 according to her obituary, death was unexpected but peaceful. Was it? Was it? Because they say at the end of the obituary that you can
Starting point is 00:38:14 leave a donation in her honor to the National Alliance on Mental Health in McNeff's honor. I feel like whatever they ask you to make donations to any kind of mental health thing. Yeah, I feel like that was suicide. But what do I know? Nothing is what I know.
Starting point is 00:38:38 That's why I say they said it was peaceful. So did she overdose on drugs then? Overdose on some pills? She didn't do anything violent with a weapon or hang herself or whatever way you kill yourself. But she was peaceful in the tub, I guess. I don't know. I don't know. But rest in peace.
