Friend's Biggest Stories of the Day on headlines this morning,
Tropical Storm Aaron to become a hurricane today It's close

(00:46):
to becoming a hurricane. Maximum sustained wins hit seventy miles
an hour as of the latest uptake, with the storm
expected to become the first hurricane of the twenty twenty
five Atlantic season. The National Hurricane Center expects Aaron to
reach hurricane strength within hours and then become a Category three.
The storm is less than eight hundred miles east of
the Leeward Islands. Heavy rainfall is forecast through the weekend

(01:08):
of the Virgin Islands and parts of Puerto Rico. It's
still unclear if Aaron will have any impact on the
US East Coast.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
This is amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Nike co founder Phil Knight and his wife Penny have
pledged a staggering two billion dollars B with a B
B with a B billion with a B to the
Knight Center Institute at Organ Health and Science University, making
it the largest single gift ever made to a US
university or academic health center. The funds are set to
transform the institute, roughly doubling its size and expanding its

(01:39):
reach in both cancer research and patient care. This includes
bolstering clinical trials, diagnostics, a full suite of supportive services
from genetic, financial, nutritional, and psychological counseling to symptom management
and survivorship care. Thanks to the gift, the institute will
become a self governing entity within OHSU, leading to faster

(02:01):
decision making, competitive hiring, and more efficient operations under its
own board of directors.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
One place two billion.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Dollars and that dude's got a lot more than that,
So who knows what else you'll do.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'm so needed right now in the midfield. That's amazing,
It's incredible. I've been seeing these videos on TikTok.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
I saw one the other day of a surgeon who
apparently was taken out of a surgery. She treats mostly
breast cancer patients. This one's gone viral and now it's
the whole thing. I should find her tiktoks. You can
watch it.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Well.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's wildly disturbing because a doctor representing an insurance company,
because you know, they hire insurance companies hire doctors to
look at the cases that people have submitted claims for
to see if they think they're legitimate, and they can
then say, well, I wouldn't diagnose it that way, and
you don't do that, or that's not the treatment I
would use, or I need more tests or whatever, essentially

(02:49):
protecting the insurance company from paying out claims that would
be inappropriate. And they pulled her out of the surgery
to tell her they weren't going to cover the surgery
because they didn't agree with her diagnosis. Now, this doctor
wouldn't say who he was. He had never done he
was this plastic surgeon, I guess, but he had never
done any of these particular things. He hadn't treated cancer.
And the reason he wouldn't say who he was or

(03:10):
where he worked or what his medical license number was
because apparently he was concerned about retaliation. It's wild, and
if this stuff is going on every day, it is insane.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
It's heartbreaking.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah, people, you know, if you need life saving surgery
and you're paying into insurance, you should get life saving surgery. Yeah. Like,
it's really really disturbing, and apparently it's it's all over
the place, and this woman is taking as stead.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
There's a few different doctor.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Lady Spindock I think is one of there are a
few others that are really like, you know, creating kind
of an online coalition of people.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
But it's really really disturbing.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
But stuff like this hopefully means that, you know, maybe
maybe this grant or this two billion dollars invested properly
means that more people can get care without having to
worry about the insurance company. But yeah, it's I can't
imagine that would be like, I mean, we joke all
the time about being rich. Imagine being really rich and
being able to help a lot of people, but not necessarily.

(04:05):
You can only pick so many things, you know. I mean,
I think I don't know how much? How much is
Phil Night worth? Multiple billions Phil Knights.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
That work?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Just while I type thirty five billion? Yes, oh wow, yeah,
thirty five that's good.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's pretty good. Oh, you're right. And seven million, Yeah,
you're right.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I forgot about yeah, okay, so forty billion dollars is
what this man is worth.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
But think of all the stuff he could do with that.
You know, you got to choose.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Obviously, you can't save everybody, but that is a great
place to start.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
That is incredible.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
YouTube will begin guessing users ages using AI on Wednesday.
This is either going to make you feel really good
or really bad. Now. This isn't an effort to prevent
kids from accessing inappropriate content online, part of a broader
push to make social media safer for young people, but
some users are already worried about what it will mean
for their privacy and experience on the platform. The technology

(05:00):
is designed to determine whether a viewer is an adult
or a minor based on their activity on the platform,
regardless of the birth date they submitted when they signed up.
The tool is being tested with a limited number of
US users for now, but it's expected to be rolled
out more widely in the coming months. If the tool
identifies a user as a miner, then YouTube will automatically
apply its existing team safety measures to their account that

(05:23):
includes restrictions on certain kinds of content, violent or sexually
suggestive videos. Adult users incorrectly identified as miners will have
to upload a government ID credit card.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Is selfie to prove their age.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Which this is all good, I guess, And I was
afraid when I first read the headline, like, oh good,
so YouTube's gonna I can go on YouTube and they
can be like, ah, yus me, you look yeah right,
you're right, you look about fair. You know forty seven? No,
I don't.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm way younger than that. It hurt my feelings. And
people do that on Reddit all the time. They'll be like,
they'll put a picture of themselves up and nuggle ROAs
to me. And I know people are being funny, but like,
it's not. Some of these compets are horrible. But you
asked for it.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
They clearly don't get roasted on a daily basis via
tex DM and.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Right or by the people that employ them y. The
first Robot Olympics are underway in China. The world's first
ever Humanoid Olympics are happening. Over five hundred androids from
sixteen countries are competing at the event in Beijing.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
What is headed?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I got one story about a man saving everybody's life,
and now we got humanoid. At what point are these
things going to have a mind of their own and
just unleash on the world five hundred them all together.
The World's Humanoid Robot Games include traditional sports like track, football, basketball,
and kung fu, but also competitions for cleaning and other
practical tasks. The Chinese governments supporting the games. The US

(06:47):
is represented at the event. The Supreme Courts of South
Korea rejected a twenty one thousand dollars damage claim on
Thursday by an American composer who accused of South Korean
Kids Content company of plagiarizing his version of Baby Shark,
ending a six year legal battle over the globally popular
tune known for its catchy do Do Do Do Do.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Do Do do do do do do do do do
do whatever.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
The AP reports that the Top Court upheld lower court
rulings dating back to twenty twenty one twenty twenty three
that found no sufficient grounds to conclude that Pinkfong infringed
on a dude Dame Jonathan Wright's copyright.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
If my song's sounded.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
To anything like that one and they made all that
money on that, I'll probably sue too.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yes, sick.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Now, I'm the guy who sat around and went, dude,
do do doo doo? No, come on and make my bag.
How am I going to get to forty or thirty
point seven billion? Thirty nine point seven billion dollars? I
don't have that much time. How am I going to
get to that? Better get in the lab with me.
I guess so, And I really did. I really did
just drop the point seven in rounding. We're talking about billions.

(07:52):
I just dropped. I just didn't give him his flowers
for another seven hundred million, like it was nothing. I
did that. HM anyway, So the guy lost his thing.
And uh when the Milwaukee Brewers win twelve straight. There's
a local restaurant called George Webbs that gives away free burgers.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
But one guy he couldn't wait. He had to have
it right now.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
He called nine one one because the restaurant wasn't handing
them out yet. The game wasn't even over yet. But
he went to this place and he said, where's my
free burger? George Webbs always set to date. Last time
it happened in twenty seventeen, they gave away two hundred
thousand burgers, but he wanted his right now. So it
happens like that day and then they say like in
two weeks we're going to do it, and then they

(08:33):
do it because.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
They have to order the meat.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Well, right, is they gonna yeah? Right exactly if everybody
gets a free burger the right look at you. You know,
I know I'm a start logistics. Yeah and so. But
this man, he called that one one because he was
right there and he's like, where's my burger?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
I want it right the second?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Uh. But the burger giveaway is going to be happening
on Wednesday from two to six, So everyone fly to
Milwaukee and and get yourself a free burger. It's National
Relaxation Day, It's National lemon Meringue High Day. And I
didn't read like I read yesterday's days, but it was
also tattoo removal day yesterday, really it was. And I'm
just curious if anyone in the room has a tattoo

(09:09):
that they still would like to remove. I know you
have many ki ki yes, but you know, are there
any of them that you wish were not there anymore? No?

Speaker 3 (09:17):
I just want to Oh, well, actually, the one on
my wrist that says my own name. You guys roasted
that one guy from waiting about the phone. I've been
thinking about that every day since.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
I don't if you ever told me that, I don't
remember you have a tattoo of your own.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
There's really.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
You gass yourself up in the most sincere and sweet way,
but there's really nothing surprising about you having a tattoo
of your own name.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, it was my first tattoo, the first.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
That was the first, So the first thing you thought
to do at the tattoo parlor. You know, some people
will go in there and they'll stare at all the options,
or they're coming there with Mima's signature or whatever you know,
or right whatever it is. It was Nana in her case,
but a lovely woman. I've considered getting a tattoo for
Nana because the one afternoon I spent with her was legendary.

(10:05):
Yeah yeah, walk into a fancy restaurant. Everyone knew who
she was and had her drink ready, and she's just
pointing in bossing people.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
I loved it. I loved every second of it.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
But wow, so you walk in and you said, I'm
gonna get a tattoo today of my.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Own name, yes, with a crown over it? Oh even Okay, yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
It was inspired by a Marion at the time. He
had his initials with his crown, And I said, you
know what I gotta do it.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
A tattoo of your own name. Yeah. So I think
about that daily now
