Speaker 1 (00:00):
Friend's biggest stories of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I want to alarm anyone the government shut down, which means,
I guess is what no FCC today.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hey, let's go crazy, let's.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Say all the things go I know, I know, We've
had to do a little uh. We had to get
Kaylen in in a classroom with a whiteboard to explain
to hear the things that you can't say on the
radio per the FCC. And I'm talking about obscenity. I'm
talking about profane words. If we've dropped a few in
the Entertainer Report the last couple of weeks, it turns
out you can't. You can't. Hey, Kaylen, you can't with that.
(00:30):
And that's not a Jimmy Kimmel thing. That's you can't
with that.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah, no, it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
That's like in the Bible of the FCC or something controversialized.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well, you also weren't being censored. Well, I guess in
some ways you were. It turns out there are certain
words you can't say.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Hey, for today, I'm unplugging the dumb button. Who cares,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
What can they possibly do? The US government is partially
shut down. It happened early Today, after Senate Democrats and
Republicans were unable to come to an agreement on a
spending bill, many federal services and agencies deemed not essential
will halt or scale back, while essential operations will stay running.
Some people in government still get paid during the shutdown.
(01:10):
Federal judges and justices keep getting paid because the law
prohibits cuts to their salaries, while in office programs are
funded by mandatory spending. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid will continue functioning,
and essential employees military, law enforcement, certain public health workers
remain working, though they may not be paid until funding returns.
I'd mentioned this story in the past, but it's officially happened,
(01:32):
you guys. AOL has officially shut down its dial Up
internet service, ending thirty four years of operation. Dial Up
was famous for its modern sounds if you want to
call them that, and the You've Got.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Mail alerts iconic man. I want to say, I saw.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
A video not that long ago from the You've Got
Mail guy or about him that he didn't get paid
very much, if anything for that Wow, because I mean,
how would he have known at the time that he
was going to be part of the American lexicon.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You've got mail.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
It's really the end of an era.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
It is no more doubt or like you pick up
the phone, you know, like your parents would or whatever
because they wanted to call someone. But and there are
people listening now who have no idea what I'm talking about.
You used to have to access we were all young,
very young, I will say, But used to have to
access the Internet using the phone. And you would have
to like there was a modem and it would dial
a number and then connect to the Internet that way,
(02:23):
and then it would make the phone line impossible to
use until you got off of it. It would make
these noises as it connected to kids.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
People used to have an entire room in their house
called the computer room. Do you guys remember that you're
being dedicated to this big desk opec?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, because they took up like a quarter of the room.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Everyone had a computer room, yeah, which is like an office,
but like you just it was so big. Yeah, you
were there.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I was there, Yeah, Yeah, you remember that one I
was in the computer room. What's crazy to me is
one hundred and sixty three thousand US households were using
dialect internet still up until the time that had shut off,
And I guess there are places where you don't have
that creative Internet access, so it was necessary. But the
shutdown also affects AOL dialer, an AOL shield browser, oh
Man email and other services are still working. This is
(03:11):
part of a move to modern internet. Dial up is
now mostly a nostalgic memory. Door Dash has launched an
autonomous delivery robot named Dot in the Phoenix area, including
Tempe and Masup. Dot is a red five foot tall
robot design to navigate bike lanes, roads and sidewalks, making
it ideal for delivering small items like toiletrees or snacks
(03:32):
that don't require a full sized vehicle. Can carry up
to thirty pounds and travel at twenty miles an hour.
The robot uses Doordash's AI powered autonomous delivery platform to
determine the best delivery method, whether it's a human driver,
a robot, or even a drone. If the Phoenix roll
out successful, then DoorDash plans to expand Dots operations to
other US markets. So now some like red looking five
(03:52):
foot blobble show at your door, didn't you say to
hotel recently? One of you did it was you had
a robot delivered the room service. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I was in LA and it didn't even give me
the option to choose the robot or a real person.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It just told me that the robot was pulling up.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
The robot actually pulled up a block away from my hotel.
I had to go find him or her. And then
when you roll up on the robot, you gotta scan it.
You can get your food out, and then it does
a little shimmy before it pulls off.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
I did a whole video on it because I was shook,
and I'm like, I don't like this. Why am I
leaving my hotel room to go find the robot?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
We just roll with this stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
It is. It's having her before I very eyes.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah. And by the way, the dot was just tigned
by right replacing NASCAR driver. Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, I mean, would you prefer this over room service?
Because I did. You know, I love a room service.
I know it's extremely expensive, it's it's something that it's
something I occasionally splurge on, and sometimes I can't bring
myself to do it because it's like, okay, wait a minute,
how much? But occasionally I'll do it because it's like
I love it. I love breakfast and I love room service.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I just do.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And but like it's weird, especially if you go to
a hotel obviously where someone brings it to you, like
where you're like it's like knock, knocknock, and you just
woke up. That's that's the beauty of this, right, is
that you just woke up and you didn't get a bed,
and you call someone and said, bringing my eggs now
and then you hang up or whatever. And I'm usually
a little more polite than that, but then it's knock, knock, knock,
and then you're kind of maybe still in your pajamas
(05:27):
or something, and then the bed's unmade or whatever, and
then you open the door and the person's like holding
the tray. Would you like me to set this down?
It's kind of weird. And I got to imagine that
people's these these room service folks, they see some stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Oh yeah, you know, hotel made see stuff. But at
least before I leave the room, I can.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Like hide the freakom equipment did I travel with or whatever.
But you got to think that like when someone just
woke up and orders room service, that they they walk
in there and they see some oftentimes the shades are
still doing.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I find myself like cleaning the.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Room before the room service person comes, and they insist
on coming in, Like well because because they're holding this
train on how they would like hand.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
That to you, give me the food and get out
of his scram They come in and they want to
sit down.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I got to put my wig on. I gotta put
a brawl. Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
They come and sit down, they have a seat, and
they eat with you. What kind of room service is this?
You really are afraid to eat a load?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
What did you order have to come all the way
in the room. I'm like, because they're trying to be
nice and set it up for you, Well yeah, I
don't want that.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But you know.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
My favorite story is the credit card that gives me
at some hotels free breakfast for.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Two in the room.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I love free breakfast.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And I was in the.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Same hotel for like a week on vacations by myself,
and I'm like, I'm taking advantage of this as you should.
It just like one hundred bucks. You can spend one
hundred dollars on breakfast. I'm like, okay, that's a dream. Yeah,
So I did it. I ordered like everything and then
they come in and they bring.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It on it.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
These guys brought it like on a on a on
a cart kind of like a table. It was already
set up, you know, so they like wheel it in
and then they already had like a little flour in
the middle of it. Was very fancy, and so the
guys like, I'll set this up. You know, where's the
other person? I don't remember how he said it, much
more polite way, like you know, where's your guests? And
I was like you, And I'm realizing I just ordered
enough food for like seven people. I'm like, she's running. Well,
(07:16):
I figure they got to have more than one room
service guy, because like tomorrow, I'm gonna do the same
damn thing and then it'll be somebody else. No, No,
next day, same guy. By the third day, he realized
there was no one running. There was no one running.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I was.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I would sit down at one side of the table
and I would eat all the food, and then I
would switch sides and go to the other side and
take a little dome off and then just eat that
food too.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I didn't care. It's free.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Free is free, and breakfast food is top cheer elade.
I don't care anybody says.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Breakfast food is the lead. I know these guys are
making it all day. They know what they're doing. Give
me everything.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You know what I'm talking You all know we're all
not in their head. I'm telling you it's a lead.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
It is a mean. It's good.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
It's one hundred and fifty dollars for the right.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But it is delicious bacon though it really is and
six Flags over Texas has unveiled plans for a record
breaking roller coaster that's lated to debut next year. The
tormenta rampaging run I'm Already Scared, is expected to claim
six world records, including the fastest speed for a traditional
(08:13):
coaster at eighty seven miles an hour. Riders will encounter
a two hundred and eighty five foot vertical drop at
a ninety five degree angle, three hundred and nine foot ascent,
and one hundred and seventy nine foot loop, which six
Flags says will be the tallest on the planet. If
that's not enough, the ride will flip passengers upside down
two hundred and eighteen feet above the ground. The ride,
promised to be the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster
(08:35):
in the World, as well as the first ever gig
It Drive coaster I don't know what that is, is
set to open during the park's sixty fifth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It sounds scary.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
It's National Walk to School Day nationally, A lot of
days today, guys, I want to keep track National Pumpkin
Spice Day, National Coffee with a cop Day, National Homemade
Cookies Day, and National Green City Day to highlight the
progress and innovation cities are making to become sustainable, like
this not thing, there's that thing ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Do you have to tip it?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
They increase the service charge because you gotta, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Pay for that. They what I gotta pay for that?
A charge power of human Like I pay for that.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That's why we gotta fight.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Man, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You got to stand for something in this world.

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.
