Speaker 1 (00:00):
The biggest stories of the day. Damn.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Someone said, if my marriage ends, I told my husband
I want my body back.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
He can pay for the plastic surgery.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
It's like you got to get me back to where
I was when I met you.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That's real. I had all these kids for you, I
did whatever for you. Now you now you out here,
and you think you think I'm just gonna hit the
streets like, Nope, you got to pay to reset this thing.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Make ready.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
You know what I bet you. I bet you look
amazing just the way you are to do. I love
how people really have had these conversations in their relationship
if I if you divorced me, or if I divorce you.
Staffwast Airlines made a big announcement they have banned robots
from the cabin and check luggage for that matter, due
to safety risks. So all your robots, you're gonna have
to go somewhere else. I'm sure spirit would have taken you,

(00:47):
but nope, I'm sorry too soon, Kiki. The restriction will
apply to robots of any size or regardless of what
their purpose is. The airline did say smaller robotic toys
are allowing carry on bags as long as they canmply
with exitsting battery restrictions Southwest and Ousabam. A few days after,
a tech entrepreneur bought a seat for his three point
five foot tall robot named Stewie. Oh, then they had

(01:09):
a name, Stewie. You're not supposed to have your robot
on Southwest anymore. A crash at an Idaho air show
forced an air force base into lockdown after two Navy
Fighter jets collide of midair. This is crazy video to watch,
by the way. The accident happened during the Gunfighter Sky's
Air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base near Boise.

(01:29):
Videos in the crowd show two eaaighten G Growler jets
clipping each other during a performance and then spiraling to
the ground in flames as black smoke filled the sky. Remarkably,
all four crew members aboard the jets managed to eject
safely before the crash. Witnesses could see four parachutes floating
down as emergency crews rushed to the scene. Officials later
said the aviators were alive and being medically evaluated.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
And if you watch this, it's a miracle.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
How did they get out of there so fat everyone's alive.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well, they have ejection seats.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Oh so you so you pull it, pull a cord
and then yeah, it essentially rockets under the seat just
kind of pulled you out. But if you watch it, at
one point in the video, the planes were stacked on
top of each other. Ye, and then at one point
they were both upside down, so it's like they you know,
I don't know a lot about ejection seats Airfred doesn't
have them, but you Camdon was hoping many times that

(02:19):
they did. You know, she's been trying to pull the
ejection seat and there Fred May she wanted to go skydiving,
and I told her no, yeah, no I didn't have that. No, yeah, no,
luckily we didn't have that option. But no, and I
don't know that like they you jet out of the
thing and at one point they were upside down when
they I don't know, it didn't look great.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
It was crazy how many people sent you that video,
because I feel like a.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Lot of people sent me that video.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, I was like, I have a Piloferian and the
first thing I think when I see them like that
is you. But I'm like, don't send him that.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
He doesn't want to see that.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well, no, and plus I don't know what that's going
on because that's in a whole different level. So I go,
I can look at it and tell you that sucks. Yeah,
but I'm glad everybody is okay. Aaron Rodgers is expected
to sign a one year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It could be worth it to twenty five million dollars.
It's expected to pay him at least twenty two mil,
and he could make a few million more in incentives.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
But he is coming back. I gotta think this is it,
but we'll see.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Ronda Rousey defeated Gina Carano in seventeen seconds in the
first round on Saturday with an arm bar to win.
I watched the whole thing for free on TikTok. It
took about ten well, it took about seventeen seconds, And
if I had paid for that, I would have been
very upset. I would have been very upset if I
had paid for that.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
It was I.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Mean, she literally just ran over to her, knocked her over,
sat on top of her, and it was over.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Now, I think there was.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
More to it than that. I mean, because I would
have gotten my ass kicked by either one of them.
But that's what he looked like, Yeah, I mean she
literally just okay. And then it was that I'm like,
that's it. How much did people pay for that? And
then she said again, she's gonna go have babies. I've
never heard anyone say more in the last four weeks
that she wanted to have more babies. Every interview is
I'm just going to have more babies, more babies. Just
go have had more babies, girl. You One Atlanta area

(04:02):
residents are reporting these Weaimo autonomous taxis are flooding cul
de sacs for no explanation. So can you imagine an
empty car just going by your house fifty times a
day for no reason. I'd be so mad residents of
a cul de sac, or as we learned, uh Cole's
de sack, what are you sick of?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm sick of the robots in the autonomous vehicles.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Like the robots are running into walls, like they're getting
on planes, like we don't need it. And we learned
last week going to show Cole's disack is how you
would say multiple cul de sacs. But this is just
one particular cul de sac in one Atlanta neighborhood. People
are fed up with the Waimo taxis flooding their street.
Neighbors on this one street say that they first started
noticing robotaxis circling the dead end roads a couple of

(04:47):
months ago, but the past two weeks they've seen fifty
or more each day. Residents say these vehicles should not
be in the Coles de Sack, which sounds weird unless
they're picking up riders Waymo. Woul Dress Concerns say we
take community feedback seriously and have addressed the routing behavior.
They added, we value our relationship with Atlanta Residence and

(05:08):
remain focused on providing a seamless, respectful and safe experience
for riders and residents alike.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
That says nothing.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Pr people have this incredible way of saying many words
without saying anything.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Did you fix it? Do you know why it's happening?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
They don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
They have no idea.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
My green camera would be going over and over.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Would be so mad all day long. Yes, just driving
around for no reason. Circle and A drunk man in
South Wales was sentenced to jail after he drove a
stolen Buldover bulldozer into a bar because other patrons were
making fun of him about his failed marriage. First of all,
you got to find yourself a new dive bar. If
you're going into your bar and they're always making fun

(05:52):
of you, it's time to move.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Fuck. You're supposed to be loved.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, you're supposed to be right. You're supposed to walk in.
You're supposed to say, hey, make your drink and feel
bad for you. The guy stormed out of the bar
after being mocked and texted the owner be careful. You
can't stop a dozer and it will be a drive
through aut tore. Leaving the bar, the guy went to
his father's farm took his father's bulldozer. His father called

(06:15):
the bar and warned everyone to evacuate because he wasn't
able to stop his son. The guy drove through the
bar's parking lot and onto its porch while customers were
still evacuating. He then drove back towards his home and
destroyed several more vehicles before his father got into another
piece of farm machinery and I guess ran over the
bulldozer itself. He caused more than thirty thousand dollars in

(06:37):
damage and pleaded guilty to several charges, including aggravated vehicle taking.
That can't be a charge to aggravated vehicle taking. Okay,
the guy will serve a little more than three years
in jail.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Wow, there's a lot of farm equipment for a couple
of people too. By the way, you eat a bulldozer
and then he had some to stop the bulldozer, and
then the ours gone, and man.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
They're gonna let you back in there now.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
It's National Visit your Relatives Day, National HIV Age Vaccine
Awareness Day, and National Sun Responsibility Day. Kaitlin and Capitol
Letters says, where sunscreen? Okay, where sunscreen
