Speaker 4 (01:57):
Well, well, when's the last time you?

Because Blena was very worried that you didn't know what
my shirt said.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
I just did. Yeah, so no, I know what that
is I just I told Katy the other day, I
didn't know the difference between Jared what was that? What
was that guy's name? Jared Leto?

Speaker 5 (02:13):
And Jared Leto and and j Leto?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
And you don't know the difference between Jared Leto and
Jay Leno.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, I was so confused.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I mean, it's not just wildly different people though.

Speaker 6 (02:31):
Yeah, I also don't know the difference between Christina Aguilera
and what and oh god, what's that girl's name? Goha
steffani Oka next to each other, I don't know which
ones which girl?

Speaker 7 (02:40):
Now you lost me the Jared j len will think, Okay,
I can see that, because.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
How wait, how could you see that differen between Jared
Leto and j.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
If you put them together side by side?

Speaker 7 (02:52):
Yes, but if, like Kaylen, did an entertainment report and
brought it up, I might confuse at you.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
How the names just too similar?

Speaker 6 (03:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:01):
But now what's so funny? And christinaguilar and j are.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Not the same name at all?

Speaker 4 (03:07):
And J no, I get it anyways, So probably.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Didn't think that you knew what what this shirt meant.
And I just I was curious. I was hoping. I mean,
at twenty seven that you knew when Blockbuster was. But
there's probably some someone listening now, maybe some young kid
who has no idea.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
No, we all know what you've been informed.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Have you ever been to one? You have, so you've
rented I assume a DVD.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well I never did, but because I was too little.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
But my mom, oh, I see. So you you accompanied
somebody inside a Blockbuster.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
It's like a library.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
It sort of was like a library, right, it was getting.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah, yeah, you can check them out. That's that's kind
of good.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (03:44):
Yeah, a vh VHS state.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah, I had a lot.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Okay, yeah, because my sister, her sister's millennial.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah, I'd like to speak with her. Three thirty two.
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Okay, So, and I always get these I'm gen X
slash millennial, but more I mean, like on the costs.
I guess most of you are millennials and your gen Z. Okay,
I'm ninety eight, so this is the list. I'm twenty one.
I know Blockbuster. Someone texted, well, that's good. I'm twenty three.
I used to go to Blockbuster. Okay, good, thank god, Okay,

(04:18):
feel better?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
We feel that formed?

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, I do it. Paulina was worried about it, whether
that you knew, because one did.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Like the Netflix era start right, like what age group?

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh, like, well I would think it would be hers. Yeah, probably.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I think the DVDs in the mail were like late
made to late two thousands, right, I think so.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
I remember when Netflix only did DVDs and you would
get a mail to your house.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Yeah, yeah, good times.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, but that was your version of Blockbuster. And I
was talking to someone the other day. Fifty million bucks,
I believe, was the number that Netflix offered to sell
to Blockbuster for five zero fifty million dollars and now
they're worth like fifty billion.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Wow, let me see again.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
I'll look you up the other no, excuse me, five
hundred and sixteen billion dollars. So Blockbuster could have bought
Netflix for five zero fifty million, and instead they said, no,
why would we do that.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
We're Blockbuster. We'll need you.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Now Blockbuster's gone and they're worth five hundred and sixteen
billion dollars.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
One Blockbuster left in Van Oregon.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah. Yeah, there was a whole documentary about him. How
they like, I don't know how they do it.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I don't know where they're getting all the DVDs from I
don't know, right, someone's basement. Yeah, I don't know how
it's out working, But don't.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Sell DVDs, you guys. It's like target.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Well okay, but how do you play it?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I mean like I just actually donated a bunch of
DVDs because well, I guess everyone that's true.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I don't have you don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
I always he's a huge gamer, but he's more of
a switch to guy, now, you know, more of a switch.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
To switch one or three?

Speaker 2 (05:55):
No, certainly, not certainly not well you know, yeah, I
mean I'm spried to. I haven't sent you three already
because you know you're on the cutting edge as a
gaming influencer, right, well.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, the yeah, the game, the game party for.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Sure, get that that down right, I know, a podcast.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
You're gaming gaming?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Okay, so on this eight five five five three five
and you can contact the same number.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
But bell stay here because so these are the things.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Well you you are your gen X why why why?

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't know what all these things are. And then
you guys just keep saying letters and now I'm really confused. Okay,
So these are things that basically that our parents would
have most of our parents would have allowed us to do.
And I just want to get your reaction to like
how this would have gone in your house.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Then again, your.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Parents are a little while your parents are are a
little I mean, I've talked to your mom.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
She's a little while.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Apparently your dad's trip believes that he needs here time
now too to speak about his mayoral duties, which is
not happening because I can't. I can't provide equal time
to your whole family, Nor can I provide equal time
to the entire you know political uh uh, you know
the landscape of California. There are actual election laws against this.
His competitor would have to get equal airtime.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
I don't know's it doesn't have a competitor.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Well, he wouldn't end. Yeah, so he ran unopposed. So
he did, He's gave it to him. Why is it
and why is he at it?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
He's just jealous that my mom is on air. He's
just jealous.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
I'm sure your dad's a lovely man.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
But if he ran unopposed, I mean that's that he
volunteered basically those campaign dollars, right, if no one ran
against him, he didn't really win or lose. He just
sort of is okay. Anyway, here's my question. I want
to know him from the people at home and the
people in the room, and then you, as the youngest member,
how this would have gone on in your house? For example? Okay,

(07:54):
were you allowed to just well you kind of grew
up in it. Did you always grow up in kind
of a smaller town. Yeah, maybe maybe this doesn't apply
as much to you. But were you allowed to just
roam the neighborhood?

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (08:05):
It depends my It depends how old I was, if
I was in trouble, like you know, like grounded.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
When you were old enough and not in trouble, could
you roam Yeah for the most part, but like my
mom would want to know where.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Well, I'm not talking about the time where you were
grounded or sleeping fellow, I mean like, were you allowed
I'm wondering if you were allowed on a time when
you were conscious, ungrounded, not in jail, right when the
weather was nice, you know, when they were on the
most parts and people weren't protesting.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Were you able to within the neighborhood? Yeah, okay, you
could in my neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'm a different reality, Like that doesn't seem real. I'm
having you guys are having a conversation. I'm having a conversation.
She's having a conversation, but it's not the same conversation. Okay,
because because like as kids, like when I was young,
it was and it was just you know, ride your bike, go,
just go, And there was no way really for us

(09:03):
to get you know, there were no cell phones. Maybe
a pager, but I didn't have one really, I mean,
there was really no way to know where we were,
what we were doing. I mean they were payphones, but
we didn't really use those. And it was like, hey,
go at you know, nine am or whatever, and just
come back before it gets dark, which in Arizona the
summer is like ten o'clock at night. And I'm not
saying my parents didn't care, but they did. There was

(09:23):
nothing was happening.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
See. That was that's where we differ.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
I had to have a cell phone, so I wasn't
allowed to roam. You weren't really roaming, So I wasn't
really roaming. I mean like it felt like I was,
but not really.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Okay, were you allowed to go to someone's house whose
parents your parents didn't know? Uh?

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yes, Okay, so you could do that, yes.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Because I guess that's the thing, and that's that didn't happen.
I mean, my wife went to all kinds of people's
houses and parties and stuff, and my parents didn't ask
where I was or or who the people. They didn't
interview the parents ahead of time. They didn't call over
there and see what was going on. They weren't They
weren't logged into lives you know, on YouTube or whatever
to see. Okay, so you were allowed to go to
people's home so your parents didn't know.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
My parents were like, thank god, okay, were.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
You allowed or slash When you're given the opportunity to
go hang out in the mall all day?

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Was that even a thing you could do? Yes?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Because that was something when we were like before we
could drive. That was what like three or four dudes
in the weekend we get dropped off of the mall
and then three or four girls had dropped off of
the mall and it was essentially a date, but it
wasn't a date, and we would we didn't have any
money so we could maybe eat, maybe we had money
to eat, you know, but like, yeah, we would just
walk around in circles in the mall, and uh, you

(10:38):
know it was like a little flirty walk I dabbled
kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Okay, so you were able to do well here there are.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
People growing up right now who don't even probably know
there are towns where them there isn't a mall, right
or there's nothing there to do, So like you wouldn't
walk around the mall, okay were And by the way,
this is a list that was made by a website.
It's eleventh things that parents of gen X kids did
that would be considered a neglect today.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
My parents neglected me.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
So were you expected to cook your own food? Apparently
now you don't have to cook your own food is
dangerous or something.

Speaker 6 (11:14):
I always cooked with my parents because my parents are chefs,
so I like they wanted me to learn how to cook.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
That was a big thing.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
But like if you wanted to make something and you
were at eight years old or ten and they weren't there,
maybe that wasn't even a thing either. But I mean,
were you allowed to, you know, turn on the stove
and cook an egg or something if you wanted to?

Speaker 4 (11:33):
I would.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
The thing is I was really lucky because I grew
up with the house with a lot of food, so
I never really had that.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
You never had to.

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Cook, okay, well like I did, but like not like
I never cooked eggs by myself or anything. Plus I'm
the youngest, so my sister was always home.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
I was never really alone.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
You hit people serving on you, serving you?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Okay, are your nieces and nephews who are much younger,
are they allowed to do any of that stuff?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Like can they go roam the neighborhood.

Speaker 8 (11:54):
And they can go to the park, but there's cell
phones with locations on them, so that doesn't really count.
They're not allowed to cook. Everybody gets door dashed or
uber eats.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Now, okay, so that's okay, So don't turn the stove
on that because you might burn the house down or whatever.

Speaker 8 (12:09):
I know, I was crying up pork chops at teams,
you know, making spaghetti.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Oh yeah, noodles, rice, and you had to make rice,
and knew had to make eggs. Oh oh yeah, mac
and cheese, and knew how to make mac and cheese.
Oh yeah, No, there was no it was an order
of peacha every time you're hungry. No, no, interesting. I
didn't touch a stove until I was definitely in my twenties.
We talked about this yesterday, making babies cry it out.
I guess that's not a thing that people do anymore.

(12:35):
It's just let the baby cry out, because you know,
Pauline was talking about how little baby Gigi, you know,
gets mad and stuff and like hits and whatever at
one year old, which is you know, and tells her
mom to f off and you know, leave and stuff
like that. That's crazy and one and it's a lot
of angst in that kid already. But you know, the
thing was you just let them have the outburst and
just let them do it. But I do think that

(12:55):
like in this day and age, the people would be
annoyed or they would actually think you were not doing
your job if your kid freaks out in the store
and you just let them freak out and walk around
like that, right, yeah, I mean that's what you're supposed
to do, I thought, as a parent, But I don't
know that people wouldn't call CPS on you. Now if
you were walking around the you know, the jewel or
the Walgreens or whatever, and your kid was just screaming
because you just weren't going to deal with the fact

(13:16):
that you were going to buy them the popsicles or the
toy or whatever. How did the cops show up for that?
Like abuse now or something? Letting kids figure things out themselves.
Ignoring school bullies now, this is a more controversial topic
because bullying has gotten far more sophisticated now. I mean,
it's the same spirit of idiots saying mean things to

(13:37):
other people because they're projecting that they're actually the loser,
which is the thing that your parents always tell you
when you're growing up, Like when the kid's making fun
of you and saying mean things about you, it's like, well,
this person actually is very insecure about themselves and they
make you know, it's a terrible quality that someone people
to make themselves feel better by putting you down and so,
and you're going to grow up to be really successful

(13:57):
and great, so don't worry about them.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
You know.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
That's advice I got about bullies. But my parents weren't
calling the school saying don't bully my kid. My parents
weren't calling the parents. But my parents were like, this
is part of life, and people are always going to
be a holes. And that's true to this day, and
I'm forty four years old, and there are still people
who get off on other people's failures and me, so like,
if you're not equipped for that, then I don't know

(14:20):
how well you're going to do in the real world.
But I and I will admit, you know, it's gotten.
It's gotten far more dramatic, far more drastic. The accessibility
with technology and social media and the ways that people
are bullying are far vaster than they were. But as
it pertains to just kids being mean to kids, I
don't know how much of their that there is anymore.
How did your parents deal with you being bullied?

Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well, my dad's Italian, so well.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Children rip to them. There's a big hole in your backyard, so.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
He said, put me on the radio, but really it's
remains in there. I put your mother and I let
her speak freely. She doesn't know my name.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
I know Jeff.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
No.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
My dad my mom would give very opposite advice.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
My dad's like, let me know who they are. I
want to talk to them.

Speaker 6 (15:13):
I was like, he's like very confrontational, and my mom's
just like who cares, just like blow it off their losers.
And so I would never really listen to my dad
in that sense. I mean like a couple of times
I did, and I probably shouldn't have, but I tried
to stick with what my mom said because it felt
a little more rash when.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
You egged the car. Oh, yeah, that is true. Maybe
I am like my dad, I did. I Okay, she
sounds like.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Your dad would actually kill people with his bare hands.
And you egged a car, so you're not like you're
going to a car.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
I threw poop at the people's cars.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
I thought I thought you were going to say your poop.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
I was worried in this segment, is you're not the
person to talk to?

Speaker 5 (15:55):
You?

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Are you the bully?

Speaker 1 (15:57):
No?

Speaker 6 (15:57):
Somebody egged my house and I didn't even know who
they were, and so I retaliated with dog popos.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
That's what it's giving.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Okay, so you believe your parents basically raise you like
you were one of us. So this is not you're
not the person.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
To talk to.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
But so sorry, and like the bullying thing, I know,
i'd look like and someone's going to text up here
and go, oh, you know, the you know, terrible example
of this, and then yes, of course are extreme examples,
and there are ways that people are bullying now that
they couldn't bully a stend. But I do say that
there's something too kids being mean to kids, and you've
got to teach your kids how to manage that because

(16:30):
it's not going to go away in adulthood. And so
like if you take your kid out of school or
if you I don't know a lot of different things
that I've heard of people do or homeschool your kid
simply because you don't want to expose them to certain
things that are mean. I understand that that sort of desire,
But like what happens then when it's time for your
kid to go out and get a job and be

(16:50):
in the real world and someone's mean to them and
they don't know what to how to cope with that
or what to do because it's going to happen because
people are mean.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Oh yes, my dad taught me how to punch mine.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Is that bad?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
No?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
But the rule in our house was don't hit unless
you have men hit. If you get hit, then you
can hit. That was my thing.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
And that's different for what I got this first on
the butt with a stick. Yeah, when we were in kindergarten,
and so my dad taught me how to throw a punch.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
Kindergarten yeah, yeah, throw a punch. And so the next
day he said, there he is, and I punched him.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
I mean, if if boy thinks, if a man hits
a woman, then you can do what you gotta.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Do a man, it's a woman. He was a little boy,
he's probably fine.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
That's what Well, that's what I just said.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Though I just said, he hit a welt on my butt.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
She was little and it was just she was a child.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
But like, if if a man hits a woman, then
you know a woman and he can retell you in
whatever way she pleases, except you know, ring poop. You
know there's a lie there too. Hey Jose, Jose? Okay,
why did we call Jose? So? Like, why do we
call the radio station and then we don't say anything.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Maybe put him on hold and then pick him back up. Yeah,
one more.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Time, Jose, because I hear that there's like a phone on. Okay,
Well that was fun, thanks, Jose. I agree with you.
That was what I mean, what an insightful one insightful
feedback there. And honestly, the middle, the middle part of
that call touched me the most. I think where he
really got into his childhood.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
And talked about it was like when he was talking,
time had no meaning.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
He could have gone on forever.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
It was for me.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
It was poetic, Like the guy is a true orator.
Like a lot of people say that, like like uh,
Barack Obama can speak and Martin Luther King, But when
Jose talks to me, it's like I'm the only person
in the room. I'm a different person, you know what.
I like A true speaker. Yeah, he was great, a
true orator, you know what I mean? Yeah, I was.
I was totally just locked in on everything he had

(18:42):
to say. I feel like, Jose, know, your mic is
very much on and you can speak.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
What an incredible speech.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Okay, Well anyway, I was just I was wondering if
any of this related to you, because because you do
represent that generation, but I think your parents made it
such that none of the represent No, it's okay, it's okay.

I know there are serious things going on in LA

to not really get into that because it would ruin
your day.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
However, there is this.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
The feud between Elon Musk and President Trump appears to
be officially over.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Why Musk's backing down.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
He twitted an apology overnight, or an expression of regret
at least, and he said on X I regret some
of my posts about President Real Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Last week he wrote they went too far.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Wow, the girls are getting back together. I mean they
were fighting apparently now they're friends to him. It's so hard,
you know these kind of relationships. We all know, these
kind of relationships where it's like.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Are you fighting? Are you? Oh?

Speaker 2 (21:32):
I thought you hated that person. Now now you're having lunch,
or that person just said something awful about you, and
now you're sticking up with it, like, oh my gosh,
this is crazy.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
Like what say, Like over the breakup, they still spoke
about each other fondly, like it sounded like they missed
each other, Like Trump sounded like he missed his his friend.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
I think he did. I feel that as well.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Aaron Rodgers, guys, Aaron Rodgers is now a Pittsburgh Steeler.
He's been wearing a wedding ring and the reporter finally
asked him.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
About it your ranger or anything else at wedding ring.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Congratulations, thank you, I love you. That's kind of a
couple of months. Okay, all right, well congratulations too. Yeah.
Really he does a lot of kose.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well actually not actually actually nothing like, to be honest
with you, I mean, I actually feel opposite that Jose
had me inspired to go through the day now, like
to go on a fourth into the into the into
my life.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
You know.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Really I was, I was thinking about making change, and
then Jose called and spoke about that last topic. I mean, Paulina,
that's still a job phone screening there because of all
of the objects that you had so many options to
choose from.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
We'll call it the show tons, and then you were able.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
To I mean, you just you chose that one because
it was innate within you, Like it was you just knew,
like this call is more important than all the rest,
and you put him through and then he started to speak,
and we were all, I mean, aghast is the world?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Really?

Speaker 7 (23:00):
I would never silence Jose. That's not who I am
as a person. But also, once you hear him speak,
you you just understand why this man has the platform though.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I mean it's honestly, part of me wanted to hang
up on Jose because it's like, if people hear this,
if management heard this and realized this man was out there,
I don't know why it wouldn't just have him any here.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Part of me just wanted to give him my chair
in my mic.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Why you ever heard of that guy? Jay Shetty?

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yes, he ain't nothing manse That's where it's at, you know, Yeah,
I know you've been really quiet since Jose spoke.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Did it touch you in a place that you haven't
been touched in a while.

Speaker 8 (23:41):
Yes, it touched me in all the places that I
haven't been touched in a while.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
That man did something to me that microphone.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Hey, let them who you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Exactly, Let him Jose later.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Let Jose is you know that's what it is, really,
you know what I'm you know, it's a lot of
you know, for me, it's w W j D. I've
been seeing that everywhere and I've been wondering what it meant.
And now I know, I'm really aware of it. Thank

(24:15):
you pulling it for that.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
I do what I can.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
It was incredible my contribution. Aaron Rodgers is married, by
the way, apparently, and do we know, we think we
know who it's to.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
A girl name. I think her name is like Brittany
with an eye.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
He's getting such he's getting such great reviews, you know,
from everybody about what it's like to be in a
relationship with him, like He's people are just really lot
like Jose, people are just raving about what it's like
to be with Aaron Rodgers. So I can't imagine, you know,
I wouldn't given the opportunity to commit to your lot,
your life to this man.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
I don't know why you wouldn't do that right away.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
The Internet Baby Girl leaves the trail of blood I
might believe possible.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
She doesn't.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
She's maybe some of these rules apply to this Brittany
with an eye that we were just talking about. Not
allowed to run the neighborhood, no access to the internet.
So it's not like my upbringing. AI can now stalk
you with just a single vacation photo. So if you
want to be like, if you try to be slick
or something and you post a vacation photo and maybe

(25:14):
you're not supposed to or maybe you send someone a
picture and maybe you're not where you say you are,
or you're with someone you're not supposed to be with
or whatever, just know that now all this information is
accessible from one single photograph. A recent box report shows
tools like open AI's SHAT, GPT and various other AI
tools can analyze tiny details, wave patterns, sand skies, and

(25:38):
more to pinpoint your exact location without GPS or any
kind of metadata. That means that your security through obscurity
is fading fast. It's not just about ads anymore. Today's
AI could be used for surveillance, potentially even contacting authorities
automatically under certain prompts. Existing privacy habits like avoiding oversharing
and limiting permissions aren't enough. Now, lawmakers and places like

(26:01):
New Yorker pushing new rules to treat dangerous AI actions
as if they're criminal behavior. So now all you got
to do is post a picture of where you know
of something, and then people can dissect all of that
is this is not good, just what we need, right Mark,
We'll see that guy in TikTok, Jose Monkey. You ever
seen that guy. He's amazing. So somebody will take like
a little video like anywhere in the world. They'll be like, hey,

(26:24):
Jose Monkey, find me. And they'll literally be like in
the middle of a forest anywhere in the world, and
he'll go, I find people who want to be found.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
This guy wanted to be found, so I did.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
And he'll take literally like ten seconds of video from
anywhere and he'll like find like that license plate, where's
that from? And then that that car has snow on it,
and that license plate, and then those smokestacks and this
and that and then and then we watch this all
unfold and he finds people like in the middle of Romania,
wherever they are.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
It's like a game.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
He can find them using you know, Google street View,
using maps, and he doesn't do it with Ai.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
He does it.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
He just picks out clues from the picture and then
sits there and finds you. It's crazy what you can
do if you know how to use the internet.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Me.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
On the other hand, door Dash occasional dating app you
know on Instagram, here and there, Yeah, right right, depending
on the state that you're in the Yeah. And this
year is my final story today for the biggest stories
of the day. And this is absolutely brilliant. There's a
town in Pennsylvania called Millersburg. I hope it's Bella's dad

(27:30):
is listening to this because the mayor of a small
town in California, this is something you should think about.
Maybe they don't have potholes there, but Millersburg, Pennsylvania has
launched a pothole fixing program called Film my Hole. And
so if you're wondering if they are aware of the
double entendre, they in fact are. They knew what they
were doing with fill my Whole campaign. In their announcement,

(27:51):
they say, fill my Hole makes it easy for residents
to report potholes electronically so they can be taken care of.
They add, and this is a quote, all holes, no,
although they also note some holes may require a little
more TLC, but rest assured that you'll be provided with
a reason why we're unable to fill your hole. If
you're If you're not pleased with the way that our
crew handled your hole, we want to hear about it.

(28:12):
Go to the website about this. Someone on Facebook ask
what if I want to fill.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
My own hole?

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Is that okay, to which someone said, you do not
need a professional hole filler, but it's best to leave
it to the professionals. Someone else as can they fill
deep holes? And will they clean dirty holes? And they
responded to this of course and said that holes are
cleaned first and debris may prevent adhesion of the filling
deep holes are no problem. So I think we need

(28:39):
some Brandon Johnson in Chicago, many cities. What are we
doing here? Where's the film? My whole campaign? You know
you want your popularity to go up. Let's talk about
filling people's holes. I agree you got a negative approval rating.
Bro like fill my hole?

Speaker 1 (28:52):
You know what I'm saying. I got a coop holes
to be filled. I got my block. You yeah, on
my block.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
If only they had a resource like this, then you
would be able to get them filled. But they don't. Sadly.
You know who does, though, is Jose. It's National Forklift
Safety Day, National Call your Doctor Day, if your hole
needs to be filled National or if there's any issue
with your whole, there's any debris or something, call your doctor.
It's National Make your Life Beautiful Day, and National Court

(29:22):
on the Cob Day, which this is all a random
list of things.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Entertainment report is on the Fresh.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Show Sean Diddy, Colmbs had one particular show that he
enjoyed watching after his freakoffs with his ex going by
Jane Doe in court By the way, she's still testifying,
so during her testimony yesterday, she said that did he
love to watch Dateline after his alleged freak offs?

Speaker 4 (29:47):
He would watch his favorite show? She said, yeah, as
after committed.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
A crime, I'd like to watch shows about other crimes.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
She said he would watch his favorite show as she
tucked him in after the sexual encounters, at which time
she'd bathe him, rub his feet, and cuddle with him
until he fell asleep watching the crime series. Jane told
the court that those moments made her feel loved by him,
despite the grueling sexual experiences that she had described with

(30:16):
the escorts that she says he frequently requested join them
during their secret meetups. Ironically, Diddy is now the subject
of his favorite show as its most recent episode is
called Shawn Colmbs on Trial and that was from May eleventh,
So Manifestation I don't Know. Glenn Powell's X model, Ggi Paris,
is opening up about their breakup on the Too Much podcast,

(30:38):
so she reveals how she ended things. In April of
twenty twenty three, after seeing Glenn get very flirty with
his co star Sidney Sweeney while filming in Australia, Gigi
said that she was shattered, adding I just wanted respect,
don't make an ass out of me, as she slammed
Glenn for letting the rumors ride for the movie's pr
Remember we heard that Sidney orchestrated this whole campaigns to

(31:00):
make it look like they were maybe in love off
screen so that the movie would do better. But Gigi said,
I feel like I was just fed to the dogs.
She explained that she gave him two choices to stand
by her or step aside, and she walked away because
he never publicly defended their relationship never once. She said,
that's all that needed to be said.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
But here's the kicker.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Gigi hopes that the romance was real, saying, I hope
they're in love.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
At least it'd make it worth it for me.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
So that is very, very sad to hear that he
wasn't defending her, and you know, it was a reason
for their split. And I don't know if it was
a reason for Sydney split either, but definitely could be.
Speaking of breakups, Dakota Johnson and cold placing her, Chris
Martin called it quits after nearly eight years together.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
As we know.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
I'm now hearing that Dakota was sick of him dragging
his feet on setting a wedding date, and even more
frustrated that Chris didn't want any more kids while she
was ready to start a family.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Their age gap careers.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Pulling them in different directions, installed wedding plans push them apart.
I'm hearing that she's devastat especially because she was close
to his kids, making the split even harder, and how
she was even close to his ex wife, Gwyneth Paltrow.
They were like one big, happy family. But when people
are engaged for that long, I feel like there's more
room for a breakup to happen if we're not planning
the wedding. And they've been together for like eight years

(32:16):
and engaged for many years, so that's why they split,
I guess. By the way, if you would like to

on and she's like, nah, fam Canadian money, only you
get silent.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
That makes perfect sense. Talks about Jose.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Alex Wren ordinary. I mean he is an angel on earth.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
He just goes between back and forth like it's just

she was at o'harent exchanging all of her money for

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, exactly. All right, let's come back and do blogs

tell you, Waiting by the phone is new this morning hypocrisy.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Hypocrisy. You try to remember which one it is. We
did it.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Yesterday because we do record these ahead of time, because
it would be so people are like, how come they
always answer, because wouldn't it be the worst thing ever
if we did Waiting by the phone, It was like
ring ring ring, No one answered.
