Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. I would love to know if this, a couple, in the story I'm about to tell you, is actually a couple, or if it's someone cheating on their spouses, or one of them is cheating on their spouse, or if it is prostitution gone wrong. So a couple in the backseat of a range rover.

This happened in Fairmont Park, Philadelphia by the river. And so this couple is having sex, or are having sex, in this backseat of a range rover. And as they were taking care of a little bit, and is one of their limbs, an inherent limb, nudge the old gear stick into drive. I hope that's the way the gear stick got into drive. And it began to roll away.

way. And so they had to make a hasty and awkward escape from the car when it rolled into the river with them in the back seat. So it topples into the river from this Strawberry Manson Bridge and began sinking. So both the man and the woman were able to escape from the car before it sank. And it was, you know, according to the story, an embarrassing swim back to dry land. and there's a picture of the car underwater with the headlights on and you can see it gives us, you know, green glow in the water. That's pretty interesting. So they and they hauled it out of the river, you know, a little bit later on in the morning. So I really find it fascinating.

I want to know the follow up. I hope that we have actual reporters in Philadelphia, even for the Philadelphia local papers. or local radio stations, we find out who this couple is, was. And what they were actually, if it was just a married couple at 4.15 a.m. taking care of a little business in the back of a range rover, or if it was, you know, somebody taking care of business with their business in the back seat of the Range Rover, or if it was an affair from either the man or,

the woman in the backseat of the range rover otherwise but this is a good rule of thumb if you're taking care of a little bit in the back of your range rover uh make sure that uh you uh do not in the heat of the moment nudge the old gear stick into into gear because uh bad things will happen after that i know i know welcome welcome to chewing the fat You know, speaking of Philadelphia, I'm reminded that, you know, last weekend they had, and I did not know this happened, and it hurts me a little bit that I am not invited to this. They had the Philly Naked Bike Ride, and this was the 15th annual Philly Naked Bike Ride. I don't think it was as big as it has been in the past. And it was, you know, promoting cycling as a key form of transportation in the fuel conscious consumption.

Is it? Is it, is that what it is? It's also meant to encourage body positivity. Yeah, because you never feel better about yourself naked than you do when you're riding a bicycle. Am I right? Yeah, of course I am. So the ride wasn't limited only to bicycles, but welcome to all forms of human power transportation. Yeah, see, now we're getting into, you know, we have to have rollerblades or skates or skateboards.

As long as you could do it naked. Can I do it naked? Then I want to be a part of it. So they also point to a code of conduct That bars any kind of physical or sexual harassment So you just have to let them go Wow The chorus changes each year but generally highlights city landmarks

This year the riders assembled at the city's large Fairmont Park That's where the couple was taking care of a little business And some getting themselves adorned with body paint And then it was a 12 mile route Down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway past City Hall, Plaster, Rittenhouse Square, and then into South Philly, before heading back north around the U.S. Mint and ending in a West Philadelphia Park near Drexel University. Man, does that sound fun.

Now, it's fun to be there and observe the naked bike ride and see people who are very, have great body positivity, because there's nothing. And I mean there's nothing like seeing somebody naked riding a bike. And they all didn't ride bikes now because we have to be, we can't, we have to be inclusive. So it can't be the Philly bike ride. Oh, what about rollerblades and skates and scooters and skateboarders? So instead of telling them to, you know, I don't know, create your own naked ride.

No, we have to be inclusive. And they are. And work. So I know the economy is doing better than what I think it is. That's what I've told. Just because you think the economy is not doing well, you don't know what you're talking about. Oh, okay. But I see every day, I see more companies either closing down completely,

filing for bankruptcy, or, you know, shutting down multiple locations for their business. Another example of that is a megabus, has shut up. shutdown operations in Texas. And according to the company's website, routes connecting Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston are discontinued. And if you had tickets, you'll, you know, be informed and you'll get a refund for your, for your troubles. And, I mean, the express bus service expanded to Texas in 2012, it's been around for a while.

And they equipped with, you know, they had Wi-Fi and power outlets and they departed from Dallas. And then, you know, during the pandemic, they, kind of had a rough time catching it up. It's a subsidiary megabuses of Coach USA, which filed for bankruptcy in June. And so now they're getting rid of some of its assets. And they're now in New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. You're still going to be able to catch some buses if you were using megabus, but they're going to be operated by Peter Pan bus lines.

Yeah, now how much do you love that deal? if you're a bus rider, I mean, it doesn't matter. You just want a bus there to take you where you want to go. So very disappointing. Just an example of more businesses going out. The company also said routes between Atlanta, Charlotte, Durham, Richmond, those are discontinued as well. Yeah, sorry about it.

They said here that they serve more than 500 cities. I don't think, I think maybe those numbers are a little lower now. So if you are, you know, a customer of Megabus, I would. I would make sure that your particular route that you're used to taking with megabus is still available because they are shutting down. Then I got news that Shake Shack, I'm a fan of Shake Shack, that they're going to shut down at least six California locations, five of them in L.A. and they claim that it's after the state's $20 minimum wage, which would not surprise me. Now, they're going to close nine Shake Shacks overall,

just those six in California. And they, the head of Shakeshacks said, they're just not projected to provide acceptable returns in the foreseeable future. Yeah. And so they have 37 still in California. Wow, that's a lot for Shake Shack. And the company said his decision was based in part to changes in the trade area.

And they didn't want to comment any further on California's $20 minimum wage law when contacted by the press. Yeah, I don't necessarily believe them. The other closures include two in Texas and one in Ohio. Oh, no. Which ones in Texas are closing? Okay, Houston, the Galleria here in Texas, and Montrose here in Texas. So the Shake Shacks around this area in DFW are still going to be in working order for now. And if you're in Polaris, Ohio, if you've gone to Shake Shack there, yeah, that's closing down as well.

And then you have the five in Los Angeles and then two other ones, one in Oakland and one in Westfield, at Topanga in Woodland Hills. That's closing. So that's sad. I hate to see Shake Shack go. You know, I became a fan of Shake Shack when I worked in New York. When I was where I live working in Manhattan, that Shakeshack was right up the block from where our studios were.

And, I mean, the line always came out of the building. It was packed. And I used to go into the city on the weekends. And so, you know, that's when I'd pick up the Shakeshack because the lines were not as long. And you could zip in and zip out. relatively speaking. And man, I just, I'm a huge fan of Shake Shack. And then I've been to, you know,

the last time I went to Shake Shack, I think I was, it wasn't, it was a while ago now. I was, I was, I was, I remember, the thing is with Shakeshack. I love their fries and I love their burgers. But I'm never crazy about their shakes. And that's in their name.

So, very disappointing. They always disappoint me with their shakes. But the burgers and fries, awesome. And another company, this Rubio's California grill, they're shutting down almost 50 of its 134 locations. And, you know, they just cited cost of doing business. That's all.

We don't want to say anything bad about California's $20 minimum hour minimum wage pay. But it was just the cost of doing business. Why are they so scared to say something? Are they afraid that people, workers are going to be pissed? California is going to be pissed. they don't like you anyway. Say something. It's just amazing to me.

Just say something. 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 just another way to keep Elon in the news,

San Francisco says, good riddance to X headquarters. And the mayor said, I'm not going to beg anybody. Oh, okay. So according, I mean, Elon has, you know, said he's taking X headquarters out of San Francisco. And the city officials are claiming they're definitely over it. Good riddance.

I'm not going to beg anybody. Some of the senior officials. This is a city that values inclusion and responsible discourse. Uh-huh. And finally, the city's sous-sayer chief economist, Ted Iggin, E-G-A-N, busted out the girl math and declared X leaving won't impact tax revenues. Oh, really? Yeah, because they were already gone.

Oh, okay. So, just because you're the chief economist for the city, I don't know. I mean, I'm not sure what experience you have, but I've seen some of the numbers that the city has posted, taking care of things. And I would say that you're not correct. But whatever, whatever, I guess, according to an assistant professor with the Department of Regional and City Planning at the University of California, Berkeley, is all you need. And you know exactly what you're saying. So X will not. affect any kind of economic downturn in San Francisco. So good riddance, Elon and X. Get out. I'm not going to beg anybody. Okay.

All right. No problem. We'll see how that works out. I mean, I will. I'll beg. You can follow me on X at Jeffrey JFR. You can follow me on Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can follow me on Instagram.

Jeff Fisher Radio. I'm begging you. I said I would beg. Okay, I'll beg. I'm begging you. You can follow me on my YouTube channel, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. You can order a cameo from me.

Of course, it's not free. The others are. I'm begging you, you can follow me on those platforms, and it's not going to cost you a dime. Now, as far as cameo is concerned, it costs you money. I'm like someone in the backseat of a range rover. at 4.15 a.m.

That's what I am for Cameo. And to get me in the backseat of the Range Rover, not literally, but you have to pay. And so you pay Cameo, and then Cameo says, hey, this person wants you to be in the backseat of the Range Rover. And that's where I go, figuratively, not Not literally. And so you just go to at Jeffey JFR on a cameo app,

and you order the cameo from me. And that's the way that works. And then you can email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Chewing the fat at the blaze.com. More good news coming out of the great state of California. They're hoping to pass legislation that would allow allow location tracking technology on all alternative license plates and registration cards. Wait, what?

Yeah. Alternative license plates and registration cards. So they want to, now they passed a law, or they passed a bill into law that allowed digital identifiers. Now that was in 2022, but they called the digital, they were called the digital plates. at the time, and they were the product of convenience. And the assemblywoman, this Lori Wilson, said that I'm all about giving people choice here in this state.

Are you? Okay. So the plates boasted features predominantly pertaining to the digital renewal of registration, as opposed to a traditional license plate sticker system or paper registration. Okay. So at the time, it was reported that the plates were capable of being equipped with GPS tracking, for employers or for the owner themselves. Now we want to have it available where any vehicle that's fitted with one of the digital plates

include the vehicle location technology. Who would have seen that coming? So the Digital Rights Group, Electronic Frontier Foundation, love them, told a reclaim the net, love them, that the new bill directly undoes the deal from 2022 and explicitly calls for location tracking, well, yeah, that's what they're doing. I mean, I'm sure that you guys saw that coming, and they obviously saw it coming.

This was just a step in the direction of making sure that all the license plates were able to be monitored, tracked, so that you can watch and listen and surveil the employees. And I'm sure it'll be, they'll be able to get it past because they'll start out, they'll use a state of vehicles first. And then companies will say, well, yeah, we want that for our fleet, and you'll get that.

So it'll be rare that you have a car that doesn't have the electronic license plate. That is awesome, really. I mean, it's awesome. Now, the company's website that features the, the tracking capabilities on these tags. They were hacked, I think a couple years ago. Everything's been hacked. Every company's been hacked at one time or another.

They were hacked in 2022, and hackers were allegedly able to see real-time location and registration address of the plate owner. Well, yeah. And they could also delete or alter the owner's tag or mislabel the vehicle as stolen. and yeah, definitely.

Now, apparently that's been worked out, of course. We've done some software updates, and we've protected against the vulnerabilities. Oh, so we can trust you? Yes, don't you worry about it, okay? We've tamper-proofed the mounting, and we've robustly built-in anti-theft features, and we communicate using secure cloud communication, and we've taken measures to detour hacking and ensure all information. Well, then, that's fine.

No problem. We want to be able to track every automobile, and we want to be able to know, we want to have the capability to track all vehicles that have this vehicle location technology. I mean, are we... It's really, it's getting out of hand. I mean, we're at a point now.

where you really can't go out without being, without being out, right? You can go out without being out. You can't go out without being out. We'll just leave it right there. You're welcome for that wealth of knowledge. You can't, you can't go out without actually being out. All right, let's go to the break room.

I need something cold to drink. desperately. Okay, so season four, episode one of Only Murders in the Building has dropped, and I watched it, and it was pretty good. It was pretty good. I mean, I enjoy the series, Only Murders in the Building. The first two seasons were really good. The last season was good, but Merrill Streep's in it.

And, well, we've covered that before. And then, of course, this season has. Meryl Streep in it again. I will say that there was a couple of scenes with Meryl in this episode that I was thinking, wow, she looks awesome. So, I mean, a lot of makeup and a lot of lighting, but she... And then I remembered, Jeff, snap out of it. It's Meryl Streep.

And that's where we're at. So, of course, it's once a week. It's 10 episodes. I got a... This type of show, I almost want to... not watch it every week and just save it until it's all over and then I could just binge watch them but I'll watch them because same thing with Kingstown you know that just ended 10 episodes that was one a week I think they gave me two at the beginning though I feel like Paramount Plus

gave me two Kingstowns at the very beginning maybe they didn't but it just ended it was another great season with Jeremy Renner I mean it's really dark really big guy show but really enjoyed it And I don't know if that's the end of Kings Town or not, but you could go ahead and, I mean, it would be okay if it is. And then I know Tulsa King with Slice Stallone season two, that's going to return the 15th of September on Paramount Plus. So I'm really looking forward to that because season one of Tulsa King was really good, really fun.

And it was, you know, it was a fun ride. Now, I will say this season, Last time they actually filmed it in Tulsa and the surrounding areas. This time, Sly was like, yeah, I'm not going out there. How about, you know, we do it in Atlanta. And I'll travel to Atlanta. We could do it there. Other than that, I got other stuff to do.

I got other reality shows to film and other stuff to do in Florida. So I'll go to Atlanta, but I'm not going out of the way out to Oklahoma. No, that's not going to happen. And they said, okay. So that's what we get. We get season two of Tulsa King, beginning on September 15th. Now, I just saw an email that talked about how they wanted to do.

They did a study on the most cost-effective streaming services. And I thought, okay, let's see how you work this out. So the new study reveals that Prime Video is the most cost-effective streaming service. Now, I don't know if Prime paid for this study or not. The study conducted by digital marketing agency Search Bloom, are they owned by Amazon? I don't know. They analyzed historical data for the top 10 streaming services available in the U.S. and sourced the cheapest subscription prices from Gaggle, as well as the number of titles available as of 2024,

to discover which one is the most cost effective and has the most titles per USD. Okay. So Prime Video ranks first. They're starting price is $8.99. Their end price is $11.99. It is. Not in my world. They're offering 1,440 titles.

The 2024 subscription price is $1199, reflecting an average annual increase of 3.8% since its 2016 launch at $899 with a catalog of $17,000, 265 titles. Prime video boasts the largest selection on the list. Yeah, they do have a lot. I will say that. I do like scrolling through Prime. They do have a lot.

Although, one of the things that ticks me off about Prime, and it's just I know it's fine. I would do it if I were them as well. But as I'm scrolling through Prime, there's shows that I want to watch, but they're on another service that I have to subscribe to. And I don't like that. And once in a while,

they throw me a bone and let me watch an episode or two from that other platform. And then, hey, if you want to watch the rest of them, you're going to have to subscribe to this platform. And it just kind of ticks me off. So then Netflix comes in second, providing 518 titles per dollar, nearly three times fewer than Prime Video.

The platform currently offers 8,023 titles with a subscription cost of $15,000. 1449 up from 799 when it debuted in 2011. And I know that I'm paying more than 1549 for Netflix. I'll tell you that. They've done serious price hikes over the last 12 years. Yeah. Averaging one every three years and two months, according to this.

Boy, it sure feels like averaging more than that. Every time we turn around, Netflix is jacking up their prices. No, we're not, Jeff. We're just making everything more available and even across the board. Oh, okay. Maybe it's because they didn't jack their prices, but then they came after all the people that were sharing the Netflix passwords with their family members. So they, you know, it didn't raise everybody's prices,

but it did end up costing people more. And that's kind of agonizing. Peacock, which I do not subscribe to. And I guess maybe I should, but I don't know that there's anything on Peacock that I really want to see. We'll see. I mean, they come in. third place. And then Disney takes fourth place. Wow. And then, okay, so you got prime video,

Netflix, Peacock, Disney Plus, Crunchyroll, not a subscriber. Hulu. H.B.O. Max. I subscribe to HBO Max through Hulu. Paramount Plus, I am a subscriber to that. They say StarPrice at $9.99. I pay less than that for my Paramount Plus subscription. But I have commercials. This has got to be without commercials. And I do pay, like I got the Paramount Plus free for a year. They roped me in, and then I kept it. And I enjoy their content that they provide. And it's cheap.

I pay for commercials, which, you know, I struggle through. And I know I pay less than $9.89 for that. Shutter, don't subscribe to that. Apple TV Plus just got that for free through my phone provider. And I don't know how long I get it for free. because someone else in the house set up the deal, but I know that we have access to Apple TV Plus now too.

So I've got Prime, Netflix, I have access to Disney Plus, not going to tell you how, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount Plus, Apple TV Plus. That's pretty good. I feel pretty happy about that. At some point, though,

there's going to be some straw that breaks the camels back because there's only so much money can go around. I just want to be clear about that. There's only so much money to go around. And while this podcast is free, I know that I work under the umbrella of Blaze TV.

And that's not free. So I appreciate it. If you're a subscriber to Blaze TV, thank you. Because there are, I mean, there's only so many straws before the camel breaks his back. I understand that. So, you know, if you, like I have access to Blaze TV, so I don't have to worry.

That's never mind. But I'm just saying that I understand and I appreciate it very much if you're a subscriber to Blaze TV. If you're not, I, you know, I understand. And that's why, you know, I provide this podcast for free. So you're welcome. Oh, my gosh. What? This is actually happening?

Seriously, we have breaking news. When you hear that sounder on the show, that means we have breaking news. Our man on the street, our reporter, Chris Cruz is reporting live. Chris, welcome to the broadcast. Hey, Fisher, how are you? I was just listening to your amazing list of broadcast. And actually, right here at Netflix headquarters, I was here trying to pitch a meeting about a show that I wanted them to do. And sadly, they cannot meet with me.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Actually, I just saw it, and it was so sad to see, they put the Netflix flag. half mass. Oh no. What happened? What happened? I'm sad. I'm sad to report that Julian Ortega, better known for his role on the Netflix TV show Elite. Okay. Has died. Oh, no. At the age of 41. Oh, no. Rest in peace. Julian Ortega. You know, Chris breaking in with some breaking news. I mean, who died today? I'll have to add Julian to the list today. The Spanish star went into cardiac arrest on Sohora Beach in Barabate, Spain.

I love that. It's beautiful this time of year. He was poorly pronounced dead on the scene after, you know, very courageous paramedics tried to revamping. That's interesting. How old was he again? 41. 41. 41.

That's normal, right? Cardiac arrest at 41? Wait, is this Jeff Fisher? Yeah. Because for a moment there, you're something like our colleague. I couldn't have been that. Nobody couldn't have been that. No,

I don't know what I was thinking. Because if it was that, they would have said something. And the story says everybody's showing, you know, thanks. And he was a good person. But sadly, elite will not be, he will not be coming back. Oh, no. To the series.

You have anything in the can If you don't know what elite is Elite is an elite high school Home to wealthy and privileged teenager And it follows that privileged teenager life Oh, you don't know why you're But It's sad here at Netflix

Because they were telling me that this show Now you can't get in I can't get in But before they kick me out The lady was telling me that this show Fisher, are you ready for this? Yes. The first season was streamed by over 20 million accounts.

Get out of here. The first month of released. And out of here. Although, I think maybe I saw it streaming on my household from one of the TVs at one point. So my daughter was watching it as well. I don't remember if it was that one. I don't have to tell you this because you are a Julian Ortega fan.

But elite was not the call to fame for him. Well, duh. Credits include Spanish shows like Quattro Estrejas. I love that. The court side. That's where I knew him from, the court side. Oh, okay, okay. Caronte, un tamable, and, you know, he's most known by everybody.

La Sue Se Avicina. Oh, maybe that's where I know I'm from, other than court side. Yeah, because he, you know, his mom was the one the act of that. Right. It was a family thing. It was a family thing. Yes. But yeah, you know, it's a sad day.

I try to get into Netflix. So because of this, they've got the Netflix flag and half-mast. I'm literally looking at the flag and it's a half-mass. So, and I want to tell you that. So you're at the Netflix headquarters. I'm about to get on the plane. I was just going to say. And I'll be doing some mail on the streets for you in Washington, D.C.

Who died today? Who died today? Well, of course, I mean, we have to add Julian Ortega. Netflix and Spanish actor who has passed away at the age of 41. Yeah, we found that out from Chris Cruz, who was at the Netflix headquarters. We do know a little bit more about his death now, though. He did have cardiac arrest, but they pulled him out of the water, and the people, witnesses said that it looked like he was drowning.

Well, was he drowning or did he have the cardiac arrest while he was swimming? I mean, we don't know. Sorry about that. Rest. I thought he was catching a flight. Uh, the, uh, rest in peace, uh, Julian, uh, dead at the age of 41. Then we have an employee, uh, female, uh, we don't know the name. I had a Wells Fargo corporate office in Tempe, Arizona.

Uh, she was found dead at her desk. We don't know how long she was there. We don't know what happened to her. Uh, we just know that, uh, she had her, she had her head down at the desk. and somebody sent an email to her and they were pissed that she didn't respond and so she's going to make me walk over there and find out why she didn't send me an email

why didn't she reply to my email and then it was hey you whoever your name is because they didn't release her name hey you and she didn't move and she was dead that's not funny I'm not laughing at that It's not funny.

A spokesperson for the bank said we were cooperating with the police investigation. She's sitting at the desk, and we don't know what else happened because we don't really like her. We weren't paying attention to her. No, that's not what they said. And we don't know how long she was there. We just know that someone in the Tempe office sent her an email. And she didn't respond. they didn't find any suspicious evidence related to her death so she may have you know had some sort of

some sort of cardiac event and i see here actually in the police report like wells fargo did not release the name but in the police report they say yep 60 year old denise prudem yep that's who it was Denise was dead at her desk. Oh, okay. I mean, how bad? How bad would that be? You know, you're working in your cubicle, and Denise does not reply to your email.

You're pissed. And you're like, Denise, answer. What's going to answer your email? And so you finally get up and you trudge over to Denise's cubby. And there she is hunched over on the desk. Sad. Rest in peace.

Denise Prudum, dead at the age of 60. Then we have one man who probably wishes he was dead. Nevada, former Nevada County official, Robert Telly's, he was just found a guilty of murder of the journalist Jeff German. Remember the case? I think we talked about this because he was a journalist. And, you know, he was he always, he's one of 70. he killed worldwide.

And so a German was worked for the Las Vegas Review Journal and reported on allegations of inappropriate work behavior in Tellis' office, including bullying and favoritism as well as a romantic affair between Tellis and an employee. In September of 2022, he was found stabbed to death outside of his home. Local police and Germans' colleagues zeroed in on television, duh, who had lost his re-election bid following the expose against him. So he was obviously a prime suspect. And physical evidence, photo, surveillance video, and DNA confirmed that it was him who murdered Jeff German, the reporter.

Well, he was found guilty. And now, in fact, they claim that it was, what's the term of those? It was willful, deliberate, and premeditated. Wow. So he's going down. Now, he faces three possible sentences. Life without the possibility of parole. Life with possible parole after serving at least 20 years.

Or a 50-year sentence with parole eligibility after serving 20 years. Now, I'm guessing since this was. was willful and deliberate. We're going to look at life and maybe, maybe, maybe parole. In today's world, they don't let a lot of people go without the chance of parole at 20 years. But after this, the judge may say, no, you took this man's life and he does not have any. You took his life away. I'm going to take your life away.

life without the possibility of parole. That's where I'm betting. We'll see what happens after the judge serves him or sentences him. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ,

parents are not all right. He said, maybe take it easy on your friend with a baby who keeps canceling plans. Why would I do that U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy? Well, listen, this is a public health advisory. Parents are super stressed. And the advisory noted that 48% of parents report that their stress is completely overwhelming compared to 26% of other adults. I'd call for policy changes to better support people raising families.

How? Get out of our business. we don't need policy changes i know that uh you know murthy he thinks that he want we have to talk about social media and gun violence that's fine he could do all of that and he i guess he could mention this but is this a public health advisory we don't need we know parents with children are stressed we got it if you have kids you know that that's what happens when you become an adult and have children uh just take we don't need policy changes okay just take it it easy. Then, you know, the other day we were talking about how China had the robot ready to go

into mass production, which I'm a fan of. If they can do dishes and sweep and clean, absolutely. I want that to happen. We know that. I want my robot, my home robot, Dewey, to be there to be my do robot and do whatever I need. Well, now, according to this, the world's first AI hospital, where robot doctors can treat 3,000 patients a day has been unveiled in China. And it's dubbed the Agent Hospital. The virtual facility will have the potential to save millions through the autonomous interaction. Developed by researchers from the Zinghu University in Beijing, the AI hospital is so advanced that it already aims to be operational by the second half of this year. So it's not up and running yet because it will be very, very soon.

Look, robots are part of our hospitals and surgeries right now every day. Doctors use robotics for all kinds of surgeries. Now we're just going to let the robots do it instead of the doctors doing it. I don't know if there's going to be any humans overseeing what's happening at the hospital. I guess maybe there's going to be, you know, team leaders overseeing this. agent hospital. But I don't know. At what point does the humans become irrelevant?

And the AI doctors are just going to be treating people and you're not going to need humans anymore because, well, we believe the robot. Well, okay. All right. I mean, that's what happened in that stupid show. I've talked about it. What is it? The FBI show.

You know, a class of 09. Class of 09 is about how AI takes over. And it's a fascinating way to look at it because it's these FBI agents. And it starts with them before AI takes over. And then as AI takes completely over. And then as, well, it doesn't anymore. I kind of ruined it for you. Anyway, so you watch Class of 09.

But that's what that shows about. So at some point, AI will take over. And then many believe that if that happens well, then we're doomed. That's what many people believe. That's not me. Do I believe we're doomed if that happens? Probably. But, you know, we're humans.

We're going to adapt and overcome. And that's just the way it goes. All right, let's get out of here. I'll leave you with the joke of the day. All right. Just a quick little dad. joke of the day. What has four legs
