Bread's Show is on Friend's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
So this is a nightmare. Really, Imagine hundreds of oversized
packages appear on your doorsteps and you have no clue why,
and I mean one hundreds of big packages just showing up.
Yet the shopping spree is not a shopping You didn't
order any of this stuff. It's return. So that's what
happened to a San Jose, California woman. Her frustrating scenario
(01:06):
is linked to an overseas online seller who appears to
be violating Amazon's return policy. So this woman is confused
as to why palettes of things are showing up at
her front door NonStop at her house, has no idea
why and what to do with all this stuff. Inside
each package is a set of full leather car seat
covers from a Chinese online seller. The online seller's Amazon
(01:28):
listing advertises the brand as at Kin selling seat covers
supposedly made to fit various models and makes of Sedan's
and SUVs. But as you can see from the front
of her house if you can see it, and I can,
but you can't because this is the radio. In many
of these cases, the covers didn't fit, and consumers said
that they were forced to pay out of pockets to
return them to the company's return center. But it was
(01:51):
this woman's home and they's made up an address, I guess.
And then people start getting mad on the comments, like
where's my refund? Well, it's cutting at this woman K's house.
Little did they know. They're just piling up in her
garage in part because the seller put her address on
their return labels, and then Amazon initially says, well, why
don't you just, I don't know, donate them or something like.
(02:12):
They weren't they don't want anything to do with this. Well,
then of course it makes the news. The company came
and removed all the packages on her property and is
valuing to crack down on the practices. But I guess
you can do this. You can. You know it's some
company somewhere in order to subscribe to the policies to
sell stuff on Amazon, they have to do the following things. Well,
they can just put someone else's address there, I guess.
(02:32):
And then you've got crates of stuff piling up in
front of your house. I would go crazy, Yes, you would.
You would call the police. I would call the police.
I called John. What would you do? The Tampa Airport
is going viral for a sign about taking your shoes off.
Tampa International Airports having some fun after the TSA announced
the passengers can keep their shoes on while passing through security.
(02:55):
Some airports are now doing this slowly, I guess, reversing
the whole taking your shoes off thing. TSA took to
social media on Tuesday to announce the update. A footnote
at the bottom of the post says, unless you're wearing crocs,
you should take those off and throw them away anyway.
Followers were quick to comment, saying things like crocs where
a person's dignity seeps out through the holes. The airport's
(03:16):
social media account are known for their humorous and witty content.
A lot of the TSA counct the main TSA count
is funny, love it. And remember a few months ago
or last month, I guess it was the Yosemite one
of the national parks was getting into it as well.
So yeah, there are some are right. There are some
airports though, where you do not have to take your
(03:37):
shoes off anymore. But I don't know which ones they are,
and I don't think they've really been formally announced. So
you get to figure that out when you go and
get yelled at, or maybe not get yelled at. There's
a shark attack Alert bill that unanimously passed the Senate.
I knew nothing about this, but members of the US
Senate unanimously approve legislation authorizing Lulu's Law. The bill, sponsored
(03:57):
by an Alabama Republican Senator is named after Lulu Gribbin,
who was fifteen who suffered a serious shark attack last
year in the Florida Panhandle. Passing the Senate on Tuesday,
the new law directs the Federal Communications Commission to issue
wireless emergency alerts whenever sharks are spotted in coastal waterways.
The bill will now go to the House for a vote.
Major League Baseball this is for baseball fans. They plan
(04:20):
to use robot umpire and technology for ball strike challenges
in Tuesday's All Star Game in Atlanta. The Commissioner suggested
last month that the Competition Committee was likely to soon
take up whether to use it in regular season games
as well. The system will work as it did during
its tryout in spring training. A human umpire will make
the call as usual. Whichever team doesn't like it can
(04:42):
appeal to the machinery. Each team will have two challenges,
with the ability to retain them if they're successful. Only
a pitcher, catcher, or hitter can ask for the challenge,
which has to be done almost immediately after the pitch.
AI like this, well you should, because some of these,
some of these arms, I don't know what happens they're
(05:02):
having a bad day or what. But like they get
on a streak of making really bad calls over and
over again. Well that's what keeps its spicy. Like we
got to get mad at some people being bad at
their job.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You have this robot in here like making real decisions
somebody would, and.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's going to break up like the fights, because you
know when the fights happen, they have to like they
kind of get.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
In there right. Well, yeah, there's still going to be
an up there. But it's just like, I don't know,
they got to be good at their job because there's
a computer watching all these jobs saying, oh, yeah, you're
not going anywhere. We're just going to get you a
robot you do. Don't worry though, Justice for the Umpires,
Yeah they're working on a Freda at eye right now.
But don't worry. There's no way to simulate the mental
(05:43):
illness that I have. So it's I mean, they'll figure
it out eventually. But you know, if if you think
if you think my game is predictable, if you think
it's that simple, just find someone that can match all
of our voices, uh uh no. Plus plus, I don't
know how they're going to simulate screwing with us all
the time, you know, in order for us to come
in here disgruntled and messed up, and then, you know,
(06:05):
and create this incredible content. I don't know how they
gonna do that. I don't think they'll be able to.
There's a band making waves on Spotify. You heard of
the Velvet Sundown. Well, they racked up over a million
monthly listeners. Kiki has the shirt. But here's the twist.
It's not even real. It's entirely AI generated from the
music to the musicians themselves. Their debut album, Floating on Echoes,
(06:30):
dropped on June fifth, featuring the hit single where is
this dust on the Wind? Let me find that for
you guys. I want to hear dust on the wind?
Go mess with my art? Dust on the wind? Dust
on the Wind. Let's let's take a listen to this.
This is all AI and apparently. Well wait is this
(06:50):
song from Kansas called dust on the Wind? The Velvet Sundown,
Dust on the Wind? Let's see what this is? This
is a hit and it's on YouTube called bangers Only.
Well how about that? Okay, so fans have begun to
(07:16):
suspect something was off. No life shows no interviews.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Dust all in the wind, I mean the smoking sounds
like a public the drums rolls.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Tell me, brother, if I heard this, I wouldn't necessary
If I heard this in like Walgreens, I wouldn't necessarily
think it wasn't a person.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Right, It sounds like the Kansas song, Like if you're
gonna be ai, Like, why don't you just make something original?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
The most shocking thing that you've ever said was that
you know a Kansas song. Yeah, I'm the wind? How
do you know that? And there's a million how do
you have it's iconic? I don't even know if I
know that song. I'm not certain that I'm a music person,
and especially an old music person. I'm not sure that
I could identify that. Here. Here is Kansas the why
(08:15):
is it trying to play Total Africa? Wait? Wait, I'm
an amazing song. Not upsetting about that. Upset about that,
But let me hear dust on the Wind.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
The song.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I couldnot believe that Jason brown cauld identify a Kansas song.
It's beautiful. I mean, I guess I just the same
song the wind, smoke in the sky. It doesn't oh,
(08:46):
I have o yes, but I don't know that I
know the name or artists. It doesn't, but Jason Brown
does Jason Kansas. He's never seen back to the future,
but he can identify Kansas anyway. So fans that were like,
I guess no one said, which maybe was the point.
No one said, the Velvet Sundown is not actually a
(09:08):
real They're not real people. It's not real anything. But
people were like, wait a minute. You know the band pictures,
they have banded pictures for these non people, and they
were like this, why is the guitarist hand fused together?
Like what's going on? The Velvet Sundown confirmed the truth
in their Spotify bio. I don't know who they are, right.
(09:28):
It's anesthetic music project with minimal human oversight, calling it
an artistic provocation about authorship and identity in the AI era.
Critics said the music sounds generic and soul list, but
it fits perfectly as background playlist and relaxing tunes. The
project raises big questions how many AI generated tracks slipping
into our daily playlists, platforms label them and what does
(09:49):
this mean for real artists trying to earn a living. Now.
I'm not suggesting that I know anything, because I don't,
but no, I remember well about this at least, But
imagine if we have a real life Million Vanilli on
our hands right now and we're a social experiment. Like
I don't even want to say an artist's name to
start the rumors, but let's just say that someone who
we consider to be wildly famous is maybe he's a
(10:11):
real person, but nothing that we're hearing is real. It's
all been generated by AI. And you know what I mean, Like,
what can you imagine? And then are we mad about it? Like?
Are we mad that we find out that the presenter
and it doesn't match the creation, but yet they've been
presenting it in a convincing way and we enjoy the product.
(10:32):
So are you gonna like? And again, I don't really
want to make this up, but let's just say Gracie
Abrams is AI. I'm not saying she rights. See this
is why, this is why pick somebody. I don't care,
Sobrina Carmen to pick anybody, anybody want pick anybody. I'm
not suggesting that they are, but I mean, let's say,
you know, for for a year or so, everyone thought
Millie Vanilli was these two brothers, and it turns out
(10:55):
or whatever they whoever they were. Turns out it was
it was another guy completely someone else was saying. They
were performing their image sold the music. So people were
into the music, they were into the image of the
two guys. I guess the reason that they picked the
two guys to be Million Vanilli was because the guy
who actually sang the song wasn't really that sexy, so
they picked these two guys they thought were sexy. So
(11:15):
the all three combined made this thing that people were
really into until they found out that it was fake,
and then they got mad about it. But what if
we were to find out that someone that we really
love right now is not has nothing to do with
the production of the music. Are we mad? Are we mad?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Or are we like? Wait a minute, but I like
the music and I like the image, so I like
the package, so I'm fine. Oh yeah, all this just
seems so unnecessary.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Like I get it, okay, people are using AI to
make things more efficient, your life easier, but like, we
already have musicians, why like, why are we making fake music?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
We have songs that way. But if you found out
that you liked fake music, then is there anything to
be upset about? I yeah, I would be upset.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Because I feel a deep connection to music, like I
got chills for music.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So yeah. But you could also make the argument that
in the last twenty years, a lot of music that
we listen to is not as it seems. The person
may have sung it, or someone may have written it,
but it went through a computer and it was filtered
and processed and auto tuned. I mean songs that we love,
like songs that are considered like classic pop songs we've
(12:20):
later learned that the person sounds like me, but it
comes out sounding like Britney Spears. That's I was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'm mad at what they're doing to Britney Spears because
any music that she has let out in the last
i'll say ten years is not her and she is
not aware that it is. Or they are using old stems,
they're using old vocals and like running them through and
I'm mad about that.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
That upsets me as a fan. But if you liked
the song, then I guess I wonder like you if
you liked the song for a year and then somebody
comes down and goes, hey, by the way, that was
all fake. Do you now, how do you take back
the liking of the song you can't you have to,
I would stop supporting. Thank you?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Okay, I say, we turn off all the music tracks
at jingle Ball and make everybody singing a cappella.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
We want people to have.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
The lineup yet, but I'm not going to have a
buy your ticket.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I promise we won't do that. Buy your tickets now?
Uh so mad? Like if Teddy Swims, I think that man, No, no,
that dude. That would be really saying because he's so
so full.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
But I would be so mad if I found out
it was fake. Of course, so now I needed. Every
artist needs to be tested.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
When I met Teddy Swims the first time, though, I
did say that to him, I said, dud, I gotta
be honest with you, man, I heard your music for
months before I saw that it was you. And and
the funny thing is he has a huge security very
large black man is a security guard. Where your cowboy
had the two of them sitting next to each other.
If I didn't know better, I wouldn't know which I mean,
I would know that Teddy wasn't the security guard, but
(13:54):
I would also and the security guard laughed because he
was like, oh yeah, we get this all the time,
like he's got a very soulful voice. That's not the
package that I thought, but that happened. You know, from
time to time things got ugly. On a recent flight
when a woman I was just talking about this, who
says she's a lawyer, Not sure why that's important, try
to skip the line to get off the plane before
everybody else other passengers without having it, and it became
(14:16):
a huge shouting match. He told people just deal with it,
while someone called her a Karen. Then it got even messier.
John quinnionees, but I didn't. She accused another passenger of
being racist or making fun of her accent. The drama,
complete with the crying baby in the background, was all
caught on video and posted a TikTok. It's now gone viral,
with thousands weighing in online. Some say that she was rude,
Others say she held her own again. If you are
(14:38):
in row thirty, you don't get off before road twenty five.
You don't unless people are sitting there waiting for another flight.
If they're like, if you're on another flight, you know,
if you're on this plane going to Toledo, then I
don't know why I always pick on Toledo. But if
you're on this plane going to Wichita. Then you sit
here and then everyone else gets off. Well that's one thing.
But or if it's hey, sometimes you'll pull to the
(15:02):
gate and they'll be like, heyres a lot of tight connections.
If you have a very tight connection, then you know,
let everybody on the connection get off first, which half
the people don't do anyway, But but you don't. I'm
not going to go on this rant again, but we go.
We go one, two, three, four in order, and we
go every other. As Caitlin mentioned yesterday, that's how we
(15:22):
get off a plane. That's the that should be the
international standard. Yes, have some manners. Thank you. They seated.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I'm an aisle, I say seated to set the precedent
for the other people next to me.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
We're not standing. We're seated and we're waiting our turn.
There's got to be order. I have to sell.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Nervous if you're sitting on the aisle and then the
people inside of your they stand up and I'm like
waiting for it and I'm not even standing, go for it?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Who told you? Now? Your booty in our face? There
is such a we live in a society. It's national
Pina Kalada Day, National Kitten Day, and Chronic Disease Day
to educate and advocate for people who live with chronic
health conditions every day. Be careful as we you know,
as we share our excitement for each day. Because they don't.
They don't always go in the right. They don't always
(16:06):
go from said the happy or happy to said no.
They don't
