Speaker 1 (00:00):
Friends, the biggest stories.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Something you think about it a bana, it's kind of
a weird thing. It's kind of a strange process of eating.
Someone takes it. I eat my banana with eye contact.
I mean, I'm not one of these people that, like,
I know men that like insist on breaking it because
it looks too fatic for them. Is it can get
over yourself, moron. I just eat the banana, like come on, or.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Like laundrink out of a straw.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Really, dude, like what are you? What are you really
afraid of us for finding out about you? Is what
I think. Someone else said that they bite the banana
and then peel it with like they fight off part
of it and then peel it with their mouth. What
what kind of barbarians are out there? Like to me,
I honestly was I was shook by this. I was
(00:45):
shook at this way, Like wait a minute, we're talking
about you grabbed the antenna, you you know, break it,
peel it down, eat the banana throat, that's what you do.
And then someone else said the only way that I
would eat a banana is peeled in a bowl with
ice cream, nuts and hot chocolate. Well yeah, yeah, banana
split me. But it's a banana there, so it's healthy, right, salada, right,
there's fruit out, there's fruit, there's dairy, there's chocolate. As
(01:10):
I think good for like your blood pressure, cardiovascular health.
I think I read somewhere, so there it's fine. So
how are you going to feel now when you go
to Chipotle or whatever and you go to close out?
And now apparently there are gesture pass codes that could
replace a pin or just the simple tap, So researchers
(01:30):
have develop develop a touchless passwords system that could let
people authorize purchases by swiping their credit card up in
the air, tapping twice, sliding horizontally, and then swiping right.
It's a gesture combination that's much harder to observe or
copy than traditional codes. The system is called NFC jest.
It recognizes nine different gestures, including swipes, taps, and slides,
(01:52):
allowing users to unlock devices or access secure areas by
performing specific movements. So, now unlock my phone. It would
be like I'm moving my hands, like.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, you guys can't see. He's a very well on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
No, but it would be that's it. I don't want
people to hack me. So only but my problems. I
wouldn't remember what I did. It's like me to be
coordinated enough to remember the gesture. I mean, right, people
gonna look crazy when they're doing this. The goal is
to enhanced security while providing a more intuitive and user
friendly experience by utilizing gestures. This system aims to offer
(02:28):
a seamless and secure method of authentication that could replace
the need for traditional pins. So now I got to
come in here and do like a TikTok dance every
morning to authenticate all my different accounts and make the
radio station work correct. I mean, this is crazy. And
in other news and this is not funny, but it
just sounds funny. Fifty eight million pounds of corn dogs
and other sausage on a stick products are being recalled
(02:50):
across the US because pieces of wood might be embedded
in the batter. People are reporting injuries. Fifty eight million
pounds of corn dogs and sausage on a stick.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It seems like a lot.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Like it seems like I didn't realize there were fifty
eight million pounds of corn dogs laying around. I mean,
I don't remember the last time that I purchased a
corn do Maybe that's why because I can't remember the
last time I when was at a grocery store. I'm like,
I need it. Where's the call? Where's the corn dog section?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I buy them often from Trader Joe's. You buy corn dogs, yes,
because they corn dogs? So yeah, I better be careful.
But they have turkey corn dogs. I can finally eat them.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Hey, one of my proudest flexes. I'm not really proud
of it. I just refuse now to be different, to
have it be different. I've never been to a Trader Joe's. Now.
This is not on purpose. It's just because there isn't
one that's convenient for me to visit. And so it's
sort of like Star Wars movies, where now I'm not
going to see one, and I don't think I'm going
to go to Trader Joe's as good for my life
(03:45):
as it could be, because I can now just keep
that flex going that I've never been to one. But
I see these people making fun of Trader joe cashiers
on TikTok? Are they really that passionate?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
About like one million percent?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
And then if you're crying a little secret, like if
you're having a day, they'll give you free flowers, but yes,
they are required to comment I don't know on how many,
at least one of your purchases, and like be really
like they make really feel like I did a good
little job grocery shopping. That's probably why I go there
because I need someone to tell me I'm doing a
good job.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Because literally they'll be like the sweet but tato oh,
oh my clip.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
For her everybody, the dramatics.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And not really because that's what that's what the TikTok
videos would be, like, oh my god, you got the
you got the turkey to furky lettuce rasp, Oh my god,
you slap?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
They are so what are you? Oh, You're incredible.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
That's how the customers act too, because Kaylee is their spokesperson.
We went to this whole thing when I first joined
the show. She was like, you need to go. She
was bringing me products.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
People will act like it's this secret society that like
your eyes will be open once you look in like
some sort of religious experience, like like if I go
to one of those churches where the guy wears easies
or something. You know. I mean, but I I have
no issue with it. I'm sure I would enjoy it.
The experience. But I I just there isn't one. I
guess there's not one too far from me. But it's
(05:10):
just never been carbabe. It's just but I'm not I'm
not driving there. I'm not driving there.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
All right, don't get a started, No, don't get started anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So I don't think it's your corn dogs though. These
are the state fair corn dogs on a stick, Jimmy
Dean pancakes and sausage on a stick, Texas based Hillshire Brands,
a subsidiary of Tyson Food. If you have one of
those in now, you might want to.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Jimmy, why did you have to put pancakes and sausage
on a stock?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I don't know that. I don't I'm not.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Sure that I hate this idea. One I have realized
that was part of the corn dog family. I thought
that was a sausage on a stick with a pancake.
I didn't realize it corn dog. I didn't realize it
was the same thing.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Why do we need that?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Why don't we need that? It's breakfast on a stick.
On one minute, No, it's on a stick. No, hold on, no,
I need you to be careful now, because you know
dog and the dips and the thing like, it's not
really something that I'm not a child.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I don't eat it at home.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
If I had a child, maybe I'm sure Polly likes
that may whatever. If I suppose if I went to
the State Fair and I maybe had ingested a gummy
by accident before I went, that would be something that
I would like. But I'm not at home cooking them up.
I'm just not and there's nothing against it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I'm I'm just not there, delicious. You're a corn dog buyer.
I used to eat them religiously as a child. My
mom has to hide them from me. Well, you're a
hot dog. A hot dog, I not put like some
pancake on top of it. Whatever, h I'm eating.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Actually I don't. That's not that. They need to make
sure they fix this brog. Get the wood out of
those things immediately me because that is amazing. An AI
actress is apparently one of the hottest sensations in all
of the talent agency. An AI actress is sparking outrage
from the ranks of human performers. The synthetic talent known
as Tilly Norwood was created by an actor in an
(06:52):
AI studio. The founder of the studio says he thinks
that she will be the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman,
and that she's very close to getting a representation. Shouldn't
deal with an agency. They're all fighting over her. The
acting community has called on performers to drop the agency
that scienceer nor woods creator says that she is not
a replacement for human beings, but rather a creative work,
(07:13):
a piece of art. But if you look at a
picture of Tilly mc norwood or whatever, she looks like
a person.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's like an attractive person. And here we are.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Would you watch a full movie with with But here's
the thing before you say no, have you ever watched
the Simpsons? Have you ever watched anything animated? Of course
you have, so you would watch. The answer is yes, no,
it's different when not.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
But how is it an AI person? I'm standing on.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
That that we know to be AI. How is that
any different than watching an animated.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Because the voice actor is getting paid, thank you for that.
There is a human brain that is being hired and paid.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Well, there is a human brain that made brain that
made the character and is telling the character what it is.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It's a computer AI.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
What somebody had to make it on.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Let me say something. She start out in a movie.
Next thing, you know that half on a radio show.
I don't have time for because I'm not doing this.
So no, she's canceled in my book.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Remind me, I'm gonna call my agent. I need an
AI approval arrangement. Yeah, I need to put that in there.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
It's scary though, Like I'm watching her performer right now,
her in her video and they take a person.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Everything looks very real. I think put her on the
red carpet.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
She doesn't need to be on the red carpet in
her photos.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Why not the biggest star she's just in station. Everyone's
trying to sign her right there.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
She is Hollywood. We have people in l A right now.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
They're working there underway to but it's gonna make a
coffee in Starbucks and they can't get signed. But nearly
mctor wood over whatever her name is, Tilly nor One
is signed by by CIA agency. It's crazy. A Waldhub
study has ranked the top US cities for foodies. And
this is actually pretty controversial because New York and Chicago
were not included, and that they did that on purpose, Right,
(08:53):
they did that on purpose? Because this is why we're
talking about it now because AI, because AI, I may
I'm dating Tilly Norwood.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Now that might be a great relationship for me.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But if you make a list of the best food
in the country and you don't put New York and
Chicago on it, then you're you're asking people to say,
do what I'm doing right now? Would you talk about it?
So it was on purpose?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Surprisingly, New York City, renowned for its diverse food culture,
ranked twenty six, primarily due to high costs and lower affordability. Miami, Portland,
San Francisco, Austin, and Seattle. These are the top five
cities for food in the US. Apparently New Orleans not
on there.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
New Orleans is good. I'm not sure a diversity, I
think would be a thing. I'm not sure how diverse.
I mean, you could certainly get all the New Orleans
style food, you know, like the gumbo and whatever diversity
they got steakhouses. Well, but I mean, I mean as
diverse as Miami. I don't know. I don't know the answer.
As divers as San Francisco. Yeah, I mean, you know,
not so yeah, I mean I mean cultures though I'm
(09:58):
not talking about like kinds of food.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I don't know what the answer is, but they're not
on the list. McDonald's is rebooting a fan favorite game
after a decade in an effort to get you to
go buy stuff. There once a cultural phenomenon the McDonald's Monopoly.
The monopoly game is back now. It's not going to
hit the same from me because while it is starting
on October sixth for unlimited time, it's not going to
be in the way that many of us remember, the
(10:20):
physical board is not in place now. It's all on
your app so you don't get that, you know, if
you're a child of the nineties or I guess maybe
two thousands, maybe they did they do in the twenty tens, maybe,
but you've got an actual board, like a piece of
paper that was a monopoly board from McDonald's, and then
you had to go and get you know, the products
that had the little things on them, and you got
(10:41):
to peel them off the cup or peel them off
the fries and then match them to the board.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It was a very tacticle experience. I liked it.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I remember there's this famous story in my family that
I was very young and we drove past McDonald's and said, Mom,
we got to stop in there because I want to get.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The monopoly board.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I want to play Monopoly, and shit, I am not
take you to that restaurant so that you can play
some gimmick game whatever. So but like most things when
I was young, I think they were getting divorced at
the time. My parents says she felt guilty. I probably
brought it up. I was probably like, I can't remember
when dad cheated on you, And then she turned the
car around and took me to McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't think I phrased it like that, but I was.
I got a lot of things out of the divorce.
I think I got a bike, pretty sure. I got
a gaming system. I got a Gerbil out of the divorce.
I mean, come on, any any children of divorced parents
knows that there is some guilt and usually that results
in some sort of bribe.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So we went to the McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
We pull in the thing and I ordered whatever, and
gets a little bored, and we pulushed, let me see
this thing, and so we peel it off and whatever,
and she's like, looks at it and does it. This
is kind of cool and for the Fredericks are gamblers.
We have gambling in our DNA. So she pulls around
and buys ten large fries because she wants more of
the little things. And then we went like every day
(11:52):
and so but for some reason we never want a
million dollars or a car or whatever it was. But
that was That was the fun, though, is you get
to pee feel it off and the thing, I guess
it's all now in the app, which I don't know,
not quite the same. This is a couple random stories
to finish here, but Reading Rainbow is coming back. The
classic Amias series, produced by Buffalo Toronto Public Media out
(12:12):
of Buffalo, New York, is being revived on YouTube on
kid Zuko, which is a kid focused YouTube channel operated
by Sony Pictures. Michael Threetz. He is a librarian and
digital creator and he will be the host of the
new version of Reading Rainbow. LeVar Burton hosted the first one. Uh,
there's a little song butterflies in the sky. I'm not
(12:34):
going to sing it by myself. You have no idea
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
About myself?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Did your parents? Did your parents let game eater the
whole thing and swallow. It didn't Bana, what kind of childhood?
I want to know what kind of childhood you had?
This is crazy. And a Vietnamese man who hasn't cut
his fingernails in thirty years earned a Guinness World record
and they look exactly like you think they would. Guinness
World Record when they were measured at a total of
nineteen feet and six inches long. I don't know how
(13:04):
to say this guy's name. I don't want to be
Lulu lu Earn the record for longest fingernails and a
pair of hands when his nails were measured at longer
than the height of an average adult giraffe. He says
that maintaining the long nails is a lot of work.
If it rains, I have to keep them dry. They
get wet, they will soften and fall off in a
(13:24):
credited place. If someone bumps into them, they'll be broken
for sure, so I have to protect them. Furthermore, when
working I have to be extremely careful climbing up and
down the scaffolding. I guess the guy's like a roofer
or something. Every move has to be deliberate, and I
mean really careful. I don't know how you do it
with like the half inch long nails, like the French
nails or whatever people get. I don't know how you
guys do that. This dude's got, you know. They just
(13:47):
they like roll. I don't even know how to describe it.
They curl, So I don't know how this guy's doing
much anything. How does he brush his teeth, how does
he keep his how does he do that? I'm concerned.
It's National Love People Day, which is why not
Friends, the biggest stories.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Something you think about it a bana, it's kind of
a weird thing. It's kind of a strange process of eating.
Someone takes it. I eat my banana with eye contact.
I mean, I'm not one of these people that, like,
I know men that like insist on breaking it because
it looks too fatic for them. Is it can get
over yourself, moron. I just eat the banana, like come on, or.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Like laundrink out of a straw.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Really, dude, like what are you? What are you really
afraid of us for finding out about you? Is what
I think. Someone else said that they bite the banana
and then peel it with like they fight off part

Would you watch a full movie with with But here's
the thing before you say no, have you ever watched
the Simpsons? Have you ever watched anything animated? Of course
you have, so you would watch. The answer is yes, no,
it's different when not.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
But how is it an AI person? I'm standing on.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
That that we know to be AI. How is that
any different than watching an animated.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Because the voice actor is getting paid, thank you for that.
There is a human brain that is being hired and paid.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Well, there is a human brain that made brain that
made the character and is telling the character what it is.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It's a computer AI.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
What somebody had to make it on.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Let me say something. She start out in a movie.
Next thing, you know that half on a radio show.
I don't have time for because I'm not doing this.
So no, she's canceled in my book.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Remind me, I'm gonna call my agent. I need an
AI approval arrangement. Yeah, I need to put that in there.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
It's scary though, Like I'm watching her performer right now,
her in her video and they take a person.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Everything looks very real. I think put her on the
red carpet.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
She doesn't need to be on the red carpet in
her photos.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Why not the biggest star she's just in station. Everyone's
trying to sign her right there.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
She is Hollywood. We have people in l A right now.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
They're working there underway to but it's gonna make a
coffee in Starbucks and they can't get signed. But nearly
mctor wood over whatever her name is, Tilly nor One
is signed by by CIA agency. It's crazy. A Waldhub
study has ranked the top US cities for foodies. And
this is actually pretty controversial because New York and Chicago
were not included, and that they did that on purpose, Right,
(08:53):
they did that on purpose? Because this is why we're
talking about it now because AI, because AI, I may
I'm dating Tilly Norwood.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Now that might be a great relationship for me.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But if you make a list of the best food
in the country and you don't put New York and
Chicago on it, then you're you're asking people to say,
do what I'm doing right now? Would you talk about it?
So it was on purpose?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Surprisingly, New York City, renowned for its diverse food culture,
ranked twenty six, primarily due to high costs and lower affordability. Miami, Portland,
San Francisco, Austin, and Seattle. These are the top five
cities for food in the US. Apparently New Orleans not
on there.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
New Orleans is good. I'm not sure a diversity, I
think would be a thing. I'm not sure how diverse.
I mean, you could certainly get all the New Orleans
style food, you know, like the gumbo and whatever diversity
they got steakhouses. Well, but I mean, I mean as
diverse as Miami. I don't know. I don't know the answer.
As divers as San Francisco. Yeah, I mean, you know,
not so yeah, I mean I mean cultures though I'm
(09:58):
not talking about like kinds of food.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I don't know what the answer is, but they're not
on the list. McDonald's is rebooting a fan favorite game
after a decade in an effort to get you to
go buy stuff. There once a cultural phenomenon the McDonald's Monopoly.
The monopoly game is back now. It's not going to
hit the same from me because while it is starting
on October sixth for unlimited time, it's not going to
be in the way that many of us remember, the
(10:20):
physical board is not in place now. It's all on
your app so you don't get that, you know, if
you're a child of the nineties or I guess maybe
two thousands, maybe they did they do in the twenty tens, maybe,
but you've got an actual board, like a piece of
paper that was a monopoly board from McDonald's, and then
you had to go and get you know, the products
that had the little things on them, and you got
(10:41):
to peel them off the cup or peel them off
the fries and then match them to the board.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It was a very tacticle experience. I liked it.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I remember there's this famous story in my family that
I was very young and we drove past McDonald's and said, Mom,
we got to stop in there because I want to get.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The monopoly board.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I want to play Monopoly, and shit, I am not
take you to that restaurant so that you can play
some gimmick game whatever. So but like most things when
I was young, I think they were getting divorced at
the time. My parents says she felt guilty. I probably
brought it up. I was probably like, I can't remember
when dad cheated on you, And then she turned the
car around and took me to McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't think I phrased it like that, but I was.
I got a lot of things out of the divorce.
I think I got a bike, pretty sure. I got
a gaming system. I got a Gerbil out of the divorce.
I mean, come on, any any children of divorced parents
knows that there is some guilt and usually that results
in some sort of bribe.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So we went to the McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
We pull in the thing and I ordered whatever, and
gets a little bored, and we pulushed, let me see
this thing, and so we peel it off and whatever,
and she's like, looks at it and does it. This
is kind of cool and for the Fredericks are gamblers.
We have gambling in our DNA. So she pulls around
and buys ten large fries because she wants more of
the little things. And then we went like every day
(11:52):
and so but for some reason we never want a
million dollars or a car or whatever it was. But
that was That was the fun, though, is you get
to pee feel it off and the thing, I guess
it's all now in the app, which I don't know,
not quite the same. This is a couple random stories
to finish here, but Reading Rainbow is coming back. The
classic Amias series, produced by Buffalo Toronto Public Media out
(12:12):
of Buffalo, New York, is being revived on YouTube on
kid Zuko, which is a kid focused YouTube channel operated
by Sony Pictures. Michael Threetz. He is a librarian and
digital creator and he will be the host of the
new version of Reading Rainbow. LeVar Burton hosted the first one. Uh,
there's a little song butterflies in the sky. I'm not
(12:34):
going to sing it by myself. You have no idea
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
About myself?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Did your parents? Did your parents let game eater the
whole thing and swallow. It didn't Bana, what kind of childhood?
I want to know what kind of childhood you had?
This is crazy. And a Vietnamese man who hasn't cut
his fingernails in thirty years earned a Guinness World record
and they look exactly like you think they would. Guinness
World Record when they were measured at a total of
nineteen feet and six inches long. I don't know how
(13:04):
to say this guy's name. I don't want to be
Lulu lu Earn the record for longest fingernails and a
pair of hands when his nails were measured at longer
than the height of an average adult giraffe. He says
that maintaining the long nails is a lot of work.
If it rains, I have to keep them dry. They
get wet, they will soften and fall off in a
(13:24):
credited place. If someone bumps into them, they'll be broken
for sure, so I have to protect them. Furthermore, when
working I have to be extremely careful climbing up and
down the scaffolding. I guess the guy's like a roofer
or something. Every move has to be deliberate, and I
mean really careful. I don't know how you do it
with like the half inch long nails, like the French
nails or whatever people get. I don't know how you
guys do that. This dude's got, you know. They just
(13:47):
they like roll. I don't even know how to describe it.
They curl, So I don't know how this guy's doing
much anything. How does he brush his teeth, how does
he keep his how does he do that? I'm concerned.
It's National Love People Day, which is why not

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
