Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Trend Banjama from the logo. Bang!
Starting point is 00:02:47 Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I don't like it, man. I don't like it. This guy. You don't mean. You love it. I do. I love it so much. We've been waiting. We've been, what is, so what? It's happening, Miles. It's happening. The Boosysbury was year three. Year three, he'll come to life.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Wemby. Oh, yeah. We felt like maybe, yeah, the first one's like, I think that's what, I was like, he's gonna be great right away. He was really good. He was really good right away, then got really good last year,
Starting point is 00:03:18 and now he's. And then got a blood clot. Blood clot. Blood clot. But then he was missing with a shower. in monks and now he's fully on it. Yeah. For people who aren't watching,
Starting point is 00:03:30 you have to watch Victor Wembe Nama play basketball right now. 7'6 guy pulling up from the logo to tie the game. He's playing incredible basketball right now. He's playing like a creative player does in a video game. We're like, you just maxed out all the stats.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Like you just made him, it's funny to see him just, like, no one can handle him in the post with just like a loose ball or something. It just feels like a bunch of kids trying to play with their uncle. Yeah, yeah. And like, come on, Victor. Oh, yeah, they just throw it up and he just like kind of guides it in.
Starting point is 00:04:03 There's, he's doing things that are like new wrinkles in basketball. Yeah. But yeah, he, for people who aren't familiar, he's going against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Israel of basketball. Did you see that? Who put that? The Oklahoman had an op-ed that said, the Oklahoma City Thunder
Starting point is 00:04:24 are the Israel of basketball. What the fuck? Previously an underdog suddenly very unpopular. And I think that's where the similarities ended, but they, they put their chest into it. It went up.
Starting point is 00:04:37 It went, it was like watching somebody dive into a cold pool of water. It went up and immediately came out. Came right down. Wow. And, but yeah,
Starting point is 00:04:49 the website, awful announcement, the website awful announcing caught it. so you can go to awful announcing to check it up. But anyways, the team, Oklahoma City Thunder are like a generationally great team. They hadn't lost yet in the playoffs. They just swept their first two opponents. And then they're going against Victor Wambayama.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And he just single-handedly, like, kept his team in it and won the game for them. It's really... In overtime. Yeah. For people who used to listen to our NBA podcast, like, my thing is always like, rooting for the best player in the league who seems like they're going to take things to a new level and do things we've never seen before. That's why I was always a Jordan guy and a LeBron guy. And now I think the third coming is upon us. Yeah. It's, it's cool, man. It's so fun to watch. It's pretty cool, man.
Starting point is 00:05:38 As somebody who was on the receiving end of one of those very casual sweeps as a Laker fan, it's nice to see Chad Holmgren really struggle against Wembeon. Oh, yeah, the casual sweeps from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because we were swept aside, like, dust. And as we should be, like, we're not even close. But I may still win this series, but it was. They could, but it was, I think it was humbling definitely for like, Chad Holmberg, because suddenly he was like, I was going against Yondre 8.
Starting point is 00:06:08 This is, this guy's like, tall too. Freaking me out, dude. Yeah, yeah. All right. But this is no longer Miles and Jack got Matt Boosties. No, because it's a, ain't it for you might now. It's time to get in, talk about the football, my Arsenal just won, one nil against
Starting point is 00:06:25 Burnley, yeah, just one more match. I feel like we might end up talking about that tomorrow on our full episode when one of your ain't a putty co-hosts. Yes. That joins us. But congratulations to you also. We haven't done anything. Jobs not finished, as
Starting point is 00:06:40 Kobe says. Job's not finished. We haven't done anything. We haven't won't. Job not finished. Okay. Let's talk about the San Diego Mosque shooting. The hurtling changes of transition. Yeah. The, yeah, we don't, the details are scant and trickling in. And one of the shooters was under age, you know, was not 18.
Starting point is 00:07:03 So one was 17. Some were saying the other one is 18 or 19. It's still, it's still murky. But what we do know is that two teenagers walked into the Islamic Center of San Diego, which also houses a school, like a kindergarten through third grade school with like something like 200 students. and killed three people before taking their own lives. And one of the killers left behind some kind of note alluding to racial pride, which isn't surprising given that this was clearly a hate crime.
Starting point is 00:07:33 And then the victims, one was the security guard who was beloved by this community and two other congregants. And, you know, the guard was being praised for, you know, his heroism that many felt like he prevented these two people for. from fully unleashing like a full-blown massacre on top of the tragedy that I'd already unfolded. And yeah, just fucking more grim shit that, you know, I think for a lot of people who've just been looking at the rhetoric in the country, this this feels like a thing that's just only been increasing, especially post-October 7th where like the media and mainstream politicians clearly decided who was human and who was not and who to talk about it. as if they're human and who to talk about as if they're just,
Starting point is 00:08:21 they are like less than zero. Yeah. And you look at the city that these kids are in and the rhetoric of their own mayor, Todd Gloria, and he has made it very clear that he does not see Palestinians as people that are worthy of human dignity. Like, and this has been very clear in his constant condemnation of whether it's like pro-Palestinian
Starting point is 00:08:41 organizers, organizations, students, supporters, protesters, attending any kind of event that was about, you know, visibility or dignity for Palestinian people.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Yeah, he went to completely other way. Like, because where you will see him will be at like, ribbon cutting ceremonies for facilities named after like controversial Israeli figures. Like a guy who's like a mayor on occupied Palestinian land, like naming a community center after this person.
Starting point is 00:09:12 And he's there like the ribbon cutting ceremony. Right. Or like, canceling his support of like a pride celebration because Kalani, one of the artists who was headlining was pro-Palestin. It was like, well, I'm not no. We revoke our support for this event. And then also, too, the mayor, like, and the
Starting point is 00:09:30 city council, even one of the Jewish members on the city council was like, I don't know, this is actually not a good idea. He adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of anti-Semitism, which is basically saying criticism of Israel and Zionism is anti-Semitism.
Starting point is 00:09:46 So, again, yeah, this is, this is, this is a party line. Yeah, right, right. But that party line is vile and dehumanizing, you know. Yeah, 100% when it's like people are there to be like, hey, man, these people, these are human beings, we need to stop the genocide. And he's like, oh my gosh, I can't handle this hate speech. And you're calling that hate speech. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Yeah. It's the upside down. And when he went out to give, you know, speak at the press conference right in the wake of the shooting, like with, you know, members of the Muslim community behind him, he was rightly heckled by somebody who was like, take a look at your own fucking rhetoric, dude, like, and the way you talk about people and like the way who you are willing to extend the definition of humanity to. So this is the mayor, Todd Gloria, right before he's about to speak.
Starting point is 00:10:37 And then the, this, this, this right resident just lets him have it. Thank you. Your fucking direct results. Your leadership. Your leadership. Our Muslim mothers and sisters have been talking to you for I listened to them, Todd. Just like you did the night. There's a pro-it-hump hate-me.
Starting point is 00:10:58 And you'll keep doing it as long as it lines a fucking pocket. You'll just, this person said, like, you're emboldening Zionist propaganda, and you'll do it as long as it lines your pockets and keeps you in office. Approval rating that a fascist dictator would shit in his hands. shit with it's been he just gross he has like nothing to say right you know like on some level you feel like some people who have like really intellectually made their peace with like going that far field would have some kind of like ability to be like oh you know right yeah the things are obviously heightened but this guy just i don't know if it was the line about having lower approval
Starting point is 00:11:48 ratings than a fascist was shit in his pants with his shit in his pants With his shit. I think that was what did it. Yeah. He's like, fuck. It wasn't all the other shit before that. Got my ass.
Starting point is 00:11:58 He just groans and it's just like fucked up. Like there are people like in tears behind him too. As he's going to say some boilerplate nonsense about how like, you know, we stand against this kind of hate in our community. Yet you 100% have just been looking the other way while genocide is being committed. But sure. Right. I think that's the madness of.
Starting point is 00:12:20 this post-October 7th world that we're in, that has just seen, again, like, the mainstream media and politicians' working definition of anti-Semitism to be anything that is critical of Israel. And this is something that many Jewish activists warned us about early on when this was like the main rhetorical defense against, when people were being like, what is going on with Gaza right now?
Starting point is 00:12:43 They are just killing civilians nonstop. There's nothing, none of this looks like defensive action. Right. And people were saying, conflating Zionism with the entire religion of Judaism is going to breed more anti-Semitism. And you can see it on the right now. We're like propagandists and a lot of the right-wing pundits concerned, quote unquote, concerned with Gaza are just merely expressing their concern because it gives them a rational entry point to be against Israel. Like I don't see these people's pro-Palestian, like these sort of like the Nick Fuentes types or Tucker Carlson. You don't see him as being a freedom fighter.
Starting point is 00:13:19 No, no, I don't see it being pro-Palestinians. They are merely anti-Semites who have found just like sort of a humane rhetorical cover to sort of like join other outraged people of like good moral standing. Right. Yeah. And I mean, it's a very valid point that the thing, you know, conflating, I think a lot of the focus goes towards conflating criticism of Israeli policy and, you know, actions with anti-Semitism. but it's the dehumanization of an entire population, entire, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:57 When people are like, oh, we're here to like stand with Palestinian people and then the mayor of the city is like, nah, no, that's terrible. Then I can't be there. I can't be seen at the at the ceremony. Yeah. And like not even just, just merely being like, no, that's not worried. I can't, like, in good conscience, can't stand with these people who are terrorist sympathizers or whatever nonsense. he's spewing.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Yeah, it's just a fuck. It's so fucking sad. That guy. That one crossing guard, that was, Laura Sarsour was on democracy now and she was, she knows like some of the people who work at this Islamic center. And they were saying how like this security guard who was killed was like, like one of the first faces all these kids see when they get to the school.
Starting point is 00:14:40 And yet this guy was a father of eight children himself. Jesus. And yeah, it's just fucking tragic. And I'm curious if we're going to see the same level. of condemnation over Islamophobia as we do, with other sort of, you know, kinds of acts of hate.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Yeah. Probably not in the United States. Probably not. There's a big policy issue with pushing back against Islamophobia and that specific brand of hate. Sure. It seems like. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Starting point is 00:15:51 Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.
Starting point is 00:16:03 We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with the name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And we were thinking I'm originally called.
Starting point is 00:16:21 calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
Starting point is 00:16:42 But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman, help make you funnier.
Starting point is 00:17:04 This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. There's the worst singer in the group. The worst? Yeah. Me. Is there anything to the idea that because you're from Harvard, uh,
Starting point is 00:17:19 you only got in because your parents. made a huge donation. The group. The yard birds, right? That's the name. The Harvard Yardt. They're open. Do you have a name suggestion?
Starting point is 00:17:30 We're open. Since you guys are middle age, one erection. Listen to humor me with Robert Smygel and friends on the I-Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Human me. I need some jokes to make me seem funny.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

Every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source, the athlete themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear.

We're back. And AI is having a tough week. I feel like AI should just, I think we just.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Go to bed AI. Right. Just be like, hey, we're gonna take a, take a year to think about where we're at
Starting point is 00:19:02 in terms of like public, public appearances. Do like Drake. You know what I mean? Go away for two years. Yeah, go away for two years and drop three albums on us.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah. Three albums of bullshit. Three albums of bullshit that you apparently stole from people. So he, he being AI, is, once again,
Starting point is 00:19:23 they just cannot resist. the idea of getting AI involved in these graduations? One way or another, we're going to have people talk to you. Like I heard Eric Schmidt's graduation speech described as a long Gemini commercial. That like literally felt like what it was. By one of the graduating seniors, it was like, what the fuck? Why does this sound like literally I'm hearing a 30 minute YouTube video about how Gemini's the future? Yeah, I mean, it makes sense maybe why they want to be at these graduations because they were talking about it on Fox News this morning about how, you know, people are like, oh man, Gen Z and like younger people are real angry at AI.
Starting point is 00:20:08 So I bet they're like, you got to get in front of these kids, man, and tell them it's cool, like right before they enter the workforce. Yeah. Yeah, there was like one of the people that was on, like Harris Faulkner's like reading these like polling like results. and this guy Ben Ferguson was on. He said, yeah, get on board or get run over. And I would just love to take another poll. How many of the people that were booing at the commencement ceremony have AI apps on their phone? Better question, how many of them used AI to pass their test?
Starting point is 00:20:36 How many of them used AI to write one of their book reports? Book reports or to do one of their thesis statements? Why don't you go do me a little thesis statement there, smart guy? Oh, hell yeah. All right, academia. Mark my word. They're all hypocrites out there. I don't know, a single college kid that doesn't need it.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Like, okay, maybe, but that doesn't mean that they're pumped up for the fucking whatever the, whatever the AI gospel. Yeah. The preachers of the AI gospel are saying, which is get fucked or get in or get fucked. Yeah. Yeah, there was another guy who, like a record producer, Scott Borsheda, who is the, he's like the CEO of Big Machine Records Records. And he said, AI is rewriting production as we sit here, started getting booed. He said, I know it. Deal with it.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Do something about it. It's a tool. Make it work for you. And then I think he said, but he had this other Scott Borsheta. Borsheta, baby. It's like a fucking arrested development character name. Streaming, rewrote the economics. Social media.
Starting point is 00:21:53 rewrote the discovery model. AI is rewriting production as we sit here. I know it. Deal with it. Like I said, it's a tool. Like I said. Hey, like I said, you can hear me now or you can pay me later.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Hey, big shit eating grin after that line. Then do something about it. Okay, it's a tool. Make it work for you. Then do so about it. Yeah, fucking pay it in the... rib now. Or how about pay me now and pay me later, huh?
Starting point is 00:22:27 Pay me now, pay me later, and then beg me for a job. And then I'll beg you to come back to the job that I destroyed with AI. And then just please, just please be cool with AI guys. Guys, I really need this to pay me a lot of money. But it's not just getting speakers out there. They also had an AI demo built into the, into a graduation ceremony. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:55 It's really sad. So this, okay, so this time, it wasn't because some AI stockholder was up there extolling the virtues of AI. This time the faculty at an Arizona community college decided to outsource the reading of graduate names to AI rather than a person.
Starting point is 00:23:15 And it led to a few delays and a huge portion of the class, not even having their names read, because the fucking AI just fucked up and was like, I don't know. Is that a thing? I'm sorry. This is when it got real because one of the heads of the school had to come in and be like, hey, guys, sorry, here's the delay here.
Starting point is 00:23:36 I know like half of you haven't heard your name call. It's because of AI. Graduates, everyone who is standing, I, this is what's, here's what's happening. So here's what's happening. We're using a new AI system as our reader. Jesus Christ. Hey. She's saying, I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that is a lesson learned for us. So, yeah. What we were able to do, though, as each of you were able to walk the stage and get a picture, which is what I would hope would be the most meaningful, meaningful. Yeah, you don't even know how to say because you know the most meaningful thing.
Starting point is 00:24:23 is hearing your fucking name read, then going on the stage to acknowledge, rather than posing like a fucking Instagram photo background wall to be like, graduation, thank you. You want to hear your name. What the fuck is she talking?
Starting point is 00:24:38 She can't read the names? Well, here's the thing. We fed it to an AI. I don't know where the list went. And then they lost the list of names. Apparently there was just some glitch and it basically like stopped reading names and they didn't know where they're at.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Like, so it just, it was an incomplete re-announcing of the graduate names. There's like a wide shot where there's like, you know, like a quarter of the graduating class just waiting in the wings to be like, hey, I didn't hear my fucking name. Like my family's here. What the fuck am I? What's supposed to happen? Well, see, the thing you have to understand is AI is bad with lists. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Basic numbers, like numbers, basic numbers. numbers, okay. Um, but the only two things. Uh, like facts. Um, sure, so like when, yeah, like if you ask it, what a fact it, like, it'll actually agree with you and make up a fact just because it thinks that's what you wanted to hear. But otherwise it should be what.
Starting point is 00:25:39 The idea that they just had it read a list of names. That, that's something also that like technology has been able to do for a long time. That's not something that you need a. I have four. And also, like, based on my experience with Alexa, when my kids ask Alexa a question, uh, it is not good at pronouncing names, like computers bad at pronouncing names. So it just feels like they're transferring the embarrassment of fucking up onto the software. But like, this is the most basic. Yeah. Like, it's just a human reading all they need. They're replacing the job of a printer and a human being with a mouth.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Yeah, right, right, right, right, with AI. And managing to fuck it up. And I get it too, right? Like that, the huge reason why I understand the logic, the logical appeal of why they would have these, like, these name reader things come out. Because, you know, if your name's like Susan or John or Eric and your last name's Johnson or, you know, like some whatever English name, the Americans have no issues reading that. But the second, they start throwing some teal days in there, some accent marks, some umlats. And now motherfuckers act like they're reading like an Aramaic incantation from the necronomicon. That is a day of work for a single person to go on Google and be like, how does this name pronounced?
Starting point is 00:27:07 Yeah. And I remember at my school, they would, like a lot of many kids, there were Armenian kids, Korean kids, Filipino kids, all kinds of last names, middle names, that like, you could go and talk to the person who is reading it and just give a pronunciation and, like, say it to them, like, one-on-one. And they're like, okay, cool, I got this. I got this. Got this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Let me write down a little phonetic pronunciate. Yeah. How the fuck is AI supposed to, that's what I'm saying. Brian, the editor is asking, how is AI supposed to help with that? It's not. It really just feels like they're like, it's going to, one of them. us is going to fuck this up. We better just like let AI do it because otherwise it's
Starting point is 00:27:49 embarrassing. Yeah, I mean there's there are definitely clips of it like in the UK. Here, this is a clip of it working. Okay. And they, what they have is like a very polished AI like voice over voice doing it.
Starting point is 00:28:05 And this is like hitting some ethnic names, but this is what it's supposed to sound like when it works. Pranash J. Northern B.A. Honors. History with politics and international relations. Okay, Pernash. Francis Rigby.
Starting point is 00:28:22 B.A. Honors. History with politics and international relations. It just sounds like you're in a in hell's waiting room. Yeah, yeah. I mean, but... Damn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:32 What if we took just all the humanity out of everything? Yeah. Out of giving people awards for graduating a college in the humanities. I don't know if like, you wonder if like, you know, the faculty is told, like, you have to use some kind of AI. It feels like that, doesn't it? Like, this feels so cheap.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Like, it's like a weird forced integration. It can read the names. And that's it. You know what I mean? Like maybe that's like their piece offering to, I don't know, I'm even acting like maybe the faculty instead. Who fucking knows?
Starting point is 00:29:02 Well, I've definitely heard of people who like work at major companies being told that they have to incorporate AI. Like, you got to be using AI somehow. Show me how you're using AI. to make your job better. Oh, yeah. I'm using it to hallucinate medical facts that I can tell my ailing family members.
Starting point is 00:29:22 So I'm using it to do the job of parenting and taking care of my sick relatives while I do the work. So we're good here. There's a fun website called Hallupedia, H-A-L-U-E-D-I-A, and it's all AI hallucinations, Wikipedia. Oh, wow. So, like, you can go, like, right now, it's just like, the glap, the glap, lepinning of 1346, Pee Poo, Poo, the movie, 2016, where it just like hallucinates all of this fucking crazy shit that you ask it, just about a thing. And it will give you something completely crazy. Like, there's one that's trending right now about Charlie Kirk, who is a
Starting point is 00:30:02 prominent figure in the late medieval textile trade. That's where I knew I'm from. Why? Who are you talking about? There's another one? Yeah. Let's see. What else we got here? We only got a couple minutes left. We got, should we wish a fond of RIPB, rest in piss bozo? Yeah. Mark Furman.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Mark Furman. Oh, Detective Mark Furman, Jack. Detective Mark Furman passed away at the age of 74. Um, he, he was at the center of the OJ trial. Um, he was the only person convicted of a crime in relation to the OJ trial.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Um, Mark Furman for his felony count of perjury when he, went up and was testifying in the case and OJ's lawyers were like, hey and just totally off topic here unrelated to anything that we're going to ask you later on in the trial. Do you ever use racial slurs? He was like, uh, no.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Slurs? I don't even know what? No, no. And then they're like, okay, cool, cool, cool. We'll circle back to that a little bit later at the most opportune time possible. Yeah. And so his testimony was discredited. And it also, like, came back to,
Starting point is 00:31:21 he was barred from law enforcement under a California law that was directed at officers who act criminally. He lost the ability to be a law enforcement person in 2024. Oh, which sucks, you know, because he moved to... That stinks. He, what did he, he moved to that town in Idaho
Starting point is 00:31:38 where it's, like, all white supremacist, too. Like, I remember that was the first. first time I sort of became aware of that place because it's like, hey, Mark Furman, racist detective, okay, racist detective is a little redundant. Detective, uh, you know, moved to this place. And I was like, what is this? You do get, you do get the sense that he, he just got the short, like he got a bad draw on that one. It's not like he was the only racist APD cop. It's just he happened to be the one that got the spotlight shined on him. Right. You know, they're like, Furman.
Starting point is 00:32:12 actually the least racist of I wonder how he compares but yeah just lift up a rock of LAPD and you'd probably find a Mark Berman anyways passed away of
Starting point is 00:32:26 throat cancer in Idaho in that what is it called like White Cooleinai County Whitefish is that the name of the town he's maybe that was Montaner in Kootenai County which I guess is
Starting point is 00:32:40 I don't know I don't know Sorry, I don't know about Idaho. We don't know. I just know there's Cordillane there. And I always thought that was such a fancy name for a place in America. Yeah. Like, damn, Cordelaine. Everybody's just driving around in horse-drawn carriages.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Mm-hmm. We should also mention that the World Health Organization, which we don't recognize here in the United States. Yeah, because they're saying wacky shit like this. Yeah. So they're trying to get everybody panic because there's an Ebola. an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. World Health organizations saying it's a public health emergency of international concern.
Starting point is 00:33:22 They're also saying that it probably doesn't meet the criteria of a pandemic emergency, but that it seems to be very bad and uncontained. 336 suspected cases. Hey, I've seen outbreak, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:39 They talk about hauntavirus and Ebola. I know. We're speed running outbreak right now. No one. No one get on a fucking airplane with a guy named Denny who was friends with a monkey. I don't know if you got the exact message from that movie.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Is that what it was? Yeah, yeah. It was the name Denny that did it. All right. Stay safe out there. That's going to do it for us.
