Speaker 2 (01:19):
Denny Denny is you know, I always said him I

Speaker 1 (01:24):
If I'd got a daughter, I'd bet there's some Denny's
out there.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I bet there are.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Uh. Anyway, So this Mark Sanchez story, that's obviously the
headline of the day. It's here in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
What a story you were reading the Indiana Indianapolis Star
thing that great reporting. By the way, the blow by
blow makes him look like a total ass. He must
have been bombed off his Keystir.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Says he doesn't remember anything, but he entered the guy's truck. Yeah,
but reaching for a window, he said, holding to court documents.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
If somebody got into my car or my truck, and
I was just trying to do my job. This poor
sixty nine year old guy picking up vegetable oil right,
a lot of stamped as butt to get out of
my truck.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
He prep sprayed me, and it said that you know
that Mark Sanchez just you know, kind of just blew
that off. Didn't mean anything to him to have the
pepper spray. And then there's witnesses, there's video accounts, there's
all kinds of stuff. But at this point, I do
not know if he has been released from the hospital.
I wasn't paying attention to the news, and I apologized
to Jake. I was talking to you guys, but I
(02:27):
thought he was still in the hospital early this morning.
And then and then we're going to see what happens.
But it's you know again, alcohol.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I am thankful that continuous reporting obviously happens with these stories.
But the first headlines, those initial ones were not looking
good for Indy, Like, no, I really didn't know what
are we doing.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I know what, He'll be lucky to be playing the
peanut leg, you know, t ball church leg. He won't
be calling many, many many games after this.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, I mean again, just a moment about decision moment.
It changed his life in a blink of an eye,
and and it started with alcohol, So we're gonna talk
about alcohol in October. So Sober October coming up here
in just a few minutes. But it is October fifth, Kylon,
you watch my time because I know we probably have
to take a break in a minute. So tomorrow. Now,
(03:19):
I know this is not really on any place, right,
but I used to love playing Monopoly from McDonald's. Okay,
so it starts again tomorrow. Did you get the guest
it's all digital now? I thought so too, And I
wonder if they'll if this will change whence they try
(03:40):
this digital version?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Did you ever win anything?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh, be French fries and drinks and things, but never millions.
But there's I did not know this, but this it
ended because of a scam involving McDonald's Monopoly game, and
it was there's a documentary that is on I think
HBO called mcmillions. But do you all remember remember the
(04:02):
mcmillion scam? I don't remember this, but a former police
officer pulled off a twenty four million dollar scam in
this in this whole thing, former policeman. His name is
Jerome Jacobson. The heist that found him sneaking into airport
(04:23):
bathroom stalls to swipe out handfuls of winning McDonald's Monopoly stickers.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
What were they doing in the bathroom?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Ends with he was he was part of the security
team or something with McDonald's on this game and he
ended up doing this in airport bathrooms. Obviously FBI the
sting was involved. It just really wasn't an interesting documentary
on HBO. But Mamillions and Monopoly begins tomorrow digitally on
(04:54):
your McDonald's app. For those of you that loved the
game Monopoly, it is back starting tomorrow. All right, we'll
probab need to take a break now, do we, Kylin?
Should we?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Let's go ahead? Okay, coming up Sober October? What does
it mean? And maybe you want to take the challenge
that's after the break on ninety three WIBC Happy October Friends.
Have you heard about the movement that's gaining a lot
of momentum. It's called Sober October. Sober October. It is
a global challenge that encourages people to give up alcohol
(05:24):
for the entire month of October, and that's to promote
wellness and a fresh start. Joining us now is Erica Anderson.
She's an influencer and She's an author of two books,
with a new book that is going to be launching
in January. It's titled Freely Sober and Erica, We're so
glad to have you with us. How are you?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Oh good? Thank you so much for having me. I'm
excited to talk about Sober October.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We appreciate this very much. Erica is hosting a hashtag
freely Sober October Challenge. First, what inspired you to actually
participate or to promote Sober October?
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah? Absolutely, Well, about five years ago, actually five years ago,
as of two days ago, I stopped drinking alcohol. I
had my last drink of alcohol and I've been sober
ever since. And it's been such a life changing experience
for me, and I found such freedom. And throughout my journey,
I have heard from women across the country who are
(06:16):
interested in what it feels like to be sober? Are sober? Curious?
Is what a lot of people might say, and it's
ultimately it's what led me to write my book, Really
Sober and so Sober October is sort of just a
natural thing for me to participate in and just promote
and to help others see what it might be like
to take alcohol out of their lives.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Was there a moment or was there something, a turning
point perhaps that made you say I want to try sobriety.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Absolutely, there were many little moments over many years where
I thought, I think my life might be better without
this what I now call a toxic substance. You know,
there was a lot of fun times, but there are
a lot of times that I didn't feel so good
that I didn't like some of the choices I made.
Maybe some of the things I said, and also just
the kind of person I wanted to be didn't really
(07:04):
line up with drinking for me, and so it took
me a while. It took me several tries to actually
give it up, but ultimately I was able to finally
say no. And now I live a life free of alcohol,
and I just want to encourage other people to get
curious about it. I don't call anyone to give up
drinking forever. That's a little bit scary sometimes to think about,
(07:26):
but I do say, hey, maybe think about how is
alcohol affecting your life? Is it contributing in positive ways?
And maybe just rethink how you're using this substance. And
so ber October is a great time.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
To do that. I'm guessing that you learned a little
bit about yourself.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean I think I like to
say that I wouldn't. I don't put myself in a
category of someone that had a full blown addiction. However,
I do say that, like many women really and men too,
I used alcohol as a way to self medicate. I
use it as a way to sort of deal with
stress and as so many of us do. And I
(08:02):
think there are people that can do that in a
way that it doesn't really inhibit them. But there are
a lot of people that realize this is something that
is holding me back. It is not making me the
best person I want to be, and I realize that.
So when I let go of alcohol in my life,
I began to like sort of break through other barriers
that had been I had been sort of like using
alcoholis and excuse, and I was able to really face
(08:24):
issues head on, problems haud on that I had not
based in the past, and ultimately was able to really
get productive and really show up for motherhood, which was
another side of this for me. I was really able
to become the full, you know, embodyment of the mom
I want to be. To my kids. That was a
big part of it. And so there was so much
I learned through not escaping with alcohol like I had
(08:45):
been doing for so many years.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You mentioned the words sober curiosity, Erica, Do you know
is there a is it broken down by demographic on
who really is more sober curious than others?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah, sober curious, it's kind of it's a little bit
of an elusive of phrase. But what But what I
can tell you on the numbers is that women is
just like thirty five and over, like thirty five to
fifty five about that is one of the biggest groups
that we're seeing stop drinking as well. And then gen Z,
So these are the two largest groups you're seeing. I
know it's weird to say, gen Z, women thirty five
(09:17):
and over. A lot of that actually has to do
with you know, there's a lot of education now about
how alcohol is really bad for our physical bodies, and
it also affects like the hormonal health of women, and
we're starting to realize that and starting to pay attention
to the things we're putting into our bodies more now,
gen Z, I would say that maybe a bit of
a different story. Some would say, oh, gen Z is
relying on other types of substances these days than alcohol,
(09:40):
and so that's I think, maybe it's own sort of
case study that needs to be done, but it is
encouraging to see across the board less drinking. Overall. We're
all demographics. As people learn more and more about how
alcohol effects the mind, body, spirit, and they recognize, hey,
maybe this is a bit like smoking was back in
the day, like people thought it was to when we
(10:00):
find a smoke even while pregnant at certain times. And
today we're hearing more and more as the American Cancer
Society comes out and says, hey, no amount of alcohol
is safe for you. There's a five percent association with
different types of cancer at least, and breast cancer is
one of them. And so, among many other reasons, though,
that was one of the reasons I decided I've got
(10:21):
to get this out of my life.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I think it was you that said that traditional recovery
programs don't always resonate.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
So traditionally, the main program that people were familiar with
for recovery was Alcoholics Anonymous AA, which is a wonderful
program and I would never tell anyone not to do that. However,
since the rise of the internet has taken over, and
especially since the pandemic, so many other programs have been
founded online for different demographics. And I never really did
(10:51):
AA myself. I joined an online program. This particular program
was called the Luckiest Club, and it was just a
group of people doing it a little different even AA.
All the meetings were online, and I know of at
least five, six, seven other communities that are now available,
and so AA is great, but it's not for everyone,
and you certainly don't have to go to AA in
(11:12):
order to recover. So I would definitely encourage people to
check out some of those other options if they're not
comfortable immediately going to an in person meeting. I know
that can be extremely intimidating. I've done it, and it
was scary. Not so scary anymore, but in the beginning
it really is. So i'd be had I provide a
list of those things on my website at if you
(11:33):
go to sobriety curious dot com, I have a list
of various groups that you can check out. If you
just go to that website, Sobrietycurious dot com and you
can get a full list of different programs that are
available that's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
If this is Eric Anderson and she has a hashtag
free Sober October challenge.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Right, absolutely so. In September, I actually did a thirty
day Everyday challenge. October, I'm doing a little bit of
a condensed version. I'm going to do just a mini
seven day challenge that's going to culminate in an online
webinar that I'm going to do, and I'm just going
to invite people in share my story, share some things
about what it might be like to explore sober curiosity
(12:15):
and explore what does your life look like without alcohol.
So all you need to do to be a part
of that is get on my email list, which you
can get on at society curious dot com. They'll be
added and you'll get the insight and all the information
for that. And I would love to have you, and
you can even show up to this stuff like without
your name, without your picture. We don't need to know
anything about you to just start educating yourself, thinking a
(12:38):
little bit about it, and just seeing, hey, maybe maybe
once I learn about this, this could be something that's
possible for me.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
That's fantastic. Share some advice that you would give to
someone that's trying sober October for the first time.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
If you're a little nervous to go full thirty days,
definitely joining a seven day challenge is going to be
a great first step. But I think the thing I
would say to people is you don't have to be
If you don't make it thirty days, you don't make
it seven days, that's okay. The point of doing this
challenge is to learn something about yourself and how alcohol
affects your life. And a lot of the times we
(13:13):
have not been exploring it. We've just been sort of
mindlessly drinking and hoping, you know, the desire goes away,
or hoping it will solve our problems. But when you
take an intentional look at why you're drinking or what
drinking is doing to your body, you learn so much.
And once you know something new about how it's affecting you,
you can't unlearn that. And because of what you learn,
(13:33):
you're going to make different choices. So don't be scared
of being curious and learning something, because it's probably going
to take you to a better place so where you're
empowered to make choices for yourself that are good and healthy.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Eric Anderson, author influencer. She's written about sobriety many times
in The New York Times Wall Street Journal as well.
She has two books. New book that is launching January sixth,
twenty twenty six, is titled It's Really Sober.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Thank you so much, Yes, Freely Sober. It's a you know,
a three year culmination of my own personal story. There's
a lot of autobiography in there. It's also a journalistic
take on what's happening with alcohol and our cultures, specifically
with women historically, how do we get to where we
are today? And most importantly, I think it's a practical
guide for anyone who's thinking, I want, I'm looking into this,
(14:23):
I'm thinking about this. There's no pressure. It's really just
an invitation to consider how alcohols affected your life and
how it might be how you might change the way
that you're engaging with it. And what I say about
this book is you you will never think about alcohol
the same way again once you read it. And that
doesn't mean you're going to quit, but it does mean
(14:43):
that you're going to be empowered to make better choices.
And so I would be honored if you picked that
book up. You can get it on Amazon right now,
you can pre order it freely sober Erica Anderson is
my name, and then once you're on my email list,
I'll be sending out lots of emails about it. But
I would love those pre orders because they really help
tell Amazon, Hey, people need this book and I want
to help as many women as I possibly can.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Bridy Curious dot com. That's the website. Erica, thank you.
You're a great guest, and we thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:11):

Speaker 2 (18:13):

always wear pink. And in the construction in the construction industry,
I was a plumber and I remember showing up on
the job and I heard one of my Hispanic plumbers say, oh,
hefecon Commissa Rosa sta Key and I was so embarrassed.
He said, here comes the boss with a pink shirt,

a haunting. But you're doing such great work, doing great
(26:19):
work for American Cancer Society and breast cancer. Thank you,
my friend. Have a great rest of your day. We'll
talk to you soon.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
And you know what what terrified because this is my
first time and I just speaking English in radio American radio.
Oh my god, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
A great Sierra telemon though.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Really, but news, good news is bilingual and universal.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You're doing a great job, really great job talking to
you today, and we're grateful that you did that with us. Hey, Ray,
we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Good luck, Thank you and enjoyed the sound you.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Betcha all right, see you later. It's eleven forty four
Denny with dollars sin Since coming up next on ninety
three WIBC. You've got a friend in Denny. Take it away.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Alrighty, you've heard about artificial intelligence, right, yes? Oh have we?
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
My inbox just blew up when I talked about getting
kids back into the trades instead of going to college.
And I'm not knocking college because it took me seventeen
years to graduate from college going to night school, and.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It was what my husband did too. It's a long term.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
It took forever. But it's the new shiny bright thing.
But here's the news. Nobody is going to be untouched
by AI. It is everywhere. And I heard an expert
by the name Mahine and Payson, and what a great guy.
He has worked with people like the credit agencies, like Experience.
I think he's worked with the UFC, and he's all.
(27:56):
He's at the right at the beginning of the AI revolution.
And not everybody's going to like what's coming. It's going
to get ugly. I did some numbers and here are
the real numbers, and they're very, very brutal. The IMF,
the Internettional Monetary Fund, says forty percent of jobs globally
are exposed to AI. Now what this means is AI
is going to win and people are going to lose.
(28:17):
The US Treasury has come up with some interesting statistics.
Twenty five percent of American workers are in high risk categories.
How many twenty five percent? And that means you might
lose your job. That's what high risk.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Means, man, I might even lose my job.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
I thought we were going to be the last ones
that AI would come for more human and creative things
doing radio. They can now take those segments.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
And put it into it. If I may show you
look at this beautiful girl.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Yeah, don't even talk to me about her?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Girl?
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yes, nor what? Because she's they're looking for a talent agent.
She needs an agent. Yet there will be AI person
so actress.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
But there is no sector of this economy that's going
to be untouched and what's so well, there will be.
There's one sector that can't be automated, and there's a
massive shortage of skilled hands work. Micro's right. What can
AI do? It can't sweat underneath the kitchen sink at
seven o'clock in the morning. It can't replace an HVAC
(29:20):
compressor when the people don't have a ninety five degree heat.
It can't rewire a breaker box. You can't download a plumber.
You can't prompt engineers or electricians, and you can't repair
a furnace on chat GPT. But we are sending our
kids to colleges, you know, forty fifty thousand dollars a year.
(29:41):
They're going to run up debt. They'll come out of college,
you get it. You know, one hundred and fifty two
hundred thousand dollars in debt if they don't pay for
it as they go. This is crazy. Micro is right.
We've got to get our kids and those who are
leaving high school. Everybody wants to go for that, you know,
that early life right passage of going to college. You know,
(30:02):
you know, chasing girls and drinking late at night, and
you know, we're all these things that we do.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Panny raids.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I almost said it, but that's a different, different area.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Do they still do that, Kyla?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
No, No, they don't do that stuff. Really the girls do.
The girls do the jockey raids is what they do.
But here's what I'm trying to say, AI might be
able to do that.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Let's go do a penny ray.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
All the things I learned with you too.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I mean, I'm working real hard.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I'm trying to wastcle don't. I'm trying to wait. I'm sorry,
stay out of death. And you know I almost did
the seven midlife things that that scare people to death
about finance, and one of them was dead. And some
of the dead comes right out of college. I mean,
I think I told you the story of years of
a physician. Uh friend, I'll call it had eight hundred
(30:56):
thousand dollars in student loan debt and that's how he
started his career. And think to yourself, well, wait a minute,
I know plumber is down in Fort Myers. You know
that are making four hundred thousand dollars a year. Terry. Okay,
so maybe I can't fix a heart, but by god,
I can fix a garbage disposal if she can't. And
there's money in them our hills. I've bragged about the
(31:17):
guy that helps me in on my yard up at
the farm. Went to school for two years, ran up
to debt, and then got into the electricians apprenticeship program.
He's in his third getting ready for his fourth year.
He's paid off his debts, he's making good money. And
I'm saying to myself, I got a grandson who's going
to graduate. All he wants to do is go to college.
And I want to say, okay, but what are you
(31:38):
going to do when you get out of college? Because
AI is coming for you. There's not a single trade
that's not going to be touched by AI and that
is absolutely terrifying to me.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
So but please, Ikeep, you know how my mind drifts
and goes in different places.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
No, I've never noticed that.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I can't the garbage disposal this now it won't turn
on in the switch.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay, what could that be?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Is it in the switch or is it perhaps the
garbage disposal? And I'm so sorry, but it made me
think of that because gunk is starting to get into
the garbage disposal and it's starting to smell.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Okay, now I'm going to give you the answer. Okay, Okay,
if there's something jammed in the garbage disposal, it has
a reset button because it will overheat and trip that
that little reset button on the bottom, it's right on
the bottom. You just push it up, run cold water,
and then if it doesn't turn then turn it off
and take a broom handle and force it to move.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Oh that makes me nervous. I think I just would
rather That's why you call a plumber. Garbage disposals make
me nervous.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Okay, you can go on AI and ask them the question,
but they can't tell you crap. So anyway, the point
I'm trying, I'm sorry, no, no, no, everybody's going to
be touched by AI. This is the equivalent of the
Industrial Revolution. And AI has only been here three years.
It's only been here thirty four months. Now, think about
how quick this has come upon it. The Industrial Revolution
(32:54):
took one hundred years. This is coming so fast that Google,
who controls all of the search engines forever, totally changed
their business model. I mean that was monumental. When they
first made that announcement in their quarterly reports, the market
sort of froze up because Google, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Their ass is threatened by AI and they're the biggest
search engines.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I will and that means more data centers.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
No, I will tell you this. That's exactly where this
is going. But I'm going to be here to predict
that Google will be a non issue for search engines
within eighteen months, because we won't. We have chat, GPT,
we have all of these.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
You know, which overrides the Google. You're saying instead, of
everybody giving, we will be.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Asking Gemini all of these things. They're all learning from
each other. Remember when I think I did this about
six weeks ago. We used to double knowledge once a century, Okay,
every year we'd get twice as much, or every one
hundred years we get twice as much knowledge. And then
after World War Two it was every thirty years. And
do you know how often we double knowledge right now?
(33:58):
It's every twelve hours.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
We are doubling our every twelve hours because of all
of this stuff coming at us.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Right and so pretty soon AI will be our teachers.
AI will be our teachers. Now we might have somebody
to show you, but even now, we've got robotics, these
Da Vinci methods, you know, and it doesn't take long
for the robots to learn how to do it without
the human intervention.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
The Divinchi methods you're talking about in medicine and the
Divini that robots center doing.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Exactly what I'm telling you is be ready because this
is coming and it is not slowing down. And what
I fear is that we're going to have all these
college educated kids that are coming out, They're all going
to be going for the same jobs at McDonald's because
their jobs in finance, in investment banking, all of these
jobs are just being replaced by AI. And there are
(34:47):
tons of people getting their layoff notice. So got to
have a plan B. And that's what I'm saying. I
would love to go to talk to any high school
and say, look, I know you want to go to college.
I do I know that you want to get away
from mom and dad, you want to do all the
type of things. Don't go into debt if you can't
go to college and pay for it as you go.
Don't go into debt because it's going to take you
that much longer when you become an electrician, a plumber,
(35:09):
and an HVAC technician to pay off all this stuff
you're going to go through. But no human being in
the world will be untouched by AI. And it is
doubling every twelve hours. So look where we're going to
be in three months.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Some of those apprentice jobs you talk about in hvac
and plumbing, electric all of that is that when it's
an apprentice, are you do you pay for that training.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Or what a great question. No, Normally your employer pays
for it and you can start off anywhere from twenty
to twenty five dollars an hour, and then you rank
up to what we call journeyman's wage, which could be
sixty seventy five eighty dollars an hour. And each year
that you learn a little bit more, you get more
and more percentage of what we call journeyman's wage, and
the employer's paying for it, or the union's paying for it.
(35:51):
And that sure sounds a lot better to me, and
sounds better to me. Not everybody's gonna like what's.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Coming on me.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I think it's listen. I don't think we can scream
and tell it enough because it is so the stuff
that we keep reading, it is here, it is now
before the end. I mean, look wherever you are.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
If you want job security, skip the cubicle. That's what
I'm saying, pick up a tool. Trades aren't planned, b
they are the future that AI cannot touch.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
That's Denny Smith, I'm Terry, Stacy, Kylin Talley. Do you
all want to come back for another hour?
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (36:22):

Speaker 4 (00:40):
We'll give you that one, you know what, Denny.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Will give you that one because I liked it. Yeah,
it was a good one. That was a good one.
All Right, We're glad you're here. Colts Raiders one o'clock
kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium. Jonathan Taylor free Coozi's in
Touchdowntown Verse forty thousand through the gate receiver, kicking the
Stigma banner. Shaquille Leonard will be your anvil striker and
Taylor Sidwell from the Colts Organization will be singing the
(01:03):
national anthem and Mark Sanchez is in trouble. Oh boy,
how about that story? Guys?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, is Taylor a guy's name or it's a beautiful lady?
Beautiful beautiful?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, it's both.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Oh, it's both.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's sort of like Peyton is a girl's name and
a man Peyton?
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Yeap.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Denny Denny is you know, I always said him I
had a daughter. I was going to name her Denny.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
If I'd got a daughter, I'd bet there's some Denny's
out there.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I bet there are.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Uh. Anyway, So this Mark Sanchez story, that's obviously the
headline of the day. It's here in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
What a story you were reading the Indiana Indianapolis Star
thing that great reporting. By the way, the blow by
blow makes him look like a total ass. He must
have been bombed off his Keystir.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Says he doesn't remember anything, but he entered the guy's truck. Yeah,
but reaching for a window, he said, holding to court documents.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
If somebody got into my car or my truck, and
I was just trying to do my job. This poor
sixty nine year old guy picking up vegetable oil right,
a lot of stamped as butt to get out of
my truck.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
He prep sprayed me, and it said that you know
that Mark Sanchez just you know, kind of just blew
that off. Didn't mean anything to him to have the
pepper spray. And then there's witnesses, there's video accounts, there's
all kinds of stuff. But at this point, I do
not know if he has been released from the hospital.
I wasn't paying attention to the news, and I apologized
to Jake. I was talking to you guys, but I
(02:27):
thought he was still in the hospital early this morning.
And then and then we're going to see what happens.
But it's you know again, alcohol.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I am thankful that continuous reporting obviously happens with these stories.
But the first headlines, those initial ones were not looking
good for Indy, Like, no, I really didn't know what
are we doing.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I know what, He'll be lucky to be playing the
peanut leg, you know, t ball church leg. He won't
be calling many, many many games after this.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, I mean again, just a moment about decision moment.
It changed his life in a blink of an eye,
and and it started with alcohol, So we're gonna talk
about alcohol in October. So Sober October coming up here
in just a few minutes. But it is October fifth, Kylon,
you watch my time because I know we probably have
to take a break in a minute. So tomorrow. Now,
(03:19):
I know this is not really on any place, right,
but I used to love playing Monopoly from McDonald's. Okay,
so it starts again tomorrow. Did you get the guest
it's all digital now? I thought so too, And I
wonder if they'll if this will change whence they try
(03:40):
this digital version?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Did you ever win anything?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh, be French fries and drinks and things, but never millions.
But there's I did not know this, but this it
ended because of a scam involving McDonald's Monopoly game, and
it was there's a documentary that is on I think
HBO called mcmillions. But do you all remember remember the
(04:02):
mcmillion scam? I don't remember this, but a former police
officer pulled off a twenty four million dollar scam in
this in this whole thing, former policeman. His name is
Jerome Jacobson. The heist that found him sneaking into airport
(04:23):
bathroom stalls to swipe out handfuls of winning McDonald's Monopoly stickers.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
What were they doing in the bathroom?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Ends with he was he was part of the security
team or something with McDonald's on this game and he
ended up doing this in airport bathrooms. Obviously FBI the
sting was involved. It just really wasn't an interesting documentary
on HBO. But Mamillions and Monopoly begins tomorrow digitally on
(04:54):
your McDonald's app. For those of you that loved the
game Monopoly, it is back starting tomorrow. All right, we'll
probab need to take a break now, do we, Kylin?
Should we?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Let's go ahead? Okay, coming up Sober October? What does
it mean? And maybe you want to take the challenge
that's after the break on ninety three WIBC Happy October Friends.
Have you heard about the movement that's gaining a lot
of momentum. It's called Sober October. Sober October. It is
a global challenge that encourages people to give up alcohol
(05:24):
for the entire month of October, and that's to promote
wellness and a fresh start. Joining us now is Erica Anderson.
She's an influencer and She's an author of two books,
with a new book that is going to be launching
in January. It's titled Freely Sober and Erica, We're so
glad to have you with us. How are you?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Oh good? Thank you so much for having me. I'm
excited to talk about Sober October.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We appreciate this very much. Erica is hosting a hashtag
freely Sober October Challenge. First, what inspired you to actually
participate or to promote Sober October?
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah? Absolutely, Well, about five years ago, actually five years ago,
as of two days ago, I stopped drinking alcohol. I
had my last drink of alcohol and I've been sober
ever since. And it's been such a life changing experience
for me, and I found such freedom. And throughout my journey,
I have heard from women across the country who are
(06:16):
interested in what it feels like to be sober? Are sober? Curious?
Is what a lot of people might say, and it's
ultimately it's what led me to write my book, Really
Sober and so Sober October is sort of just a
natural thing for me to participate in and just promote
and to help others see what it might be like
to take alcohol out of their lives.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Was there a moment or was there something, a turning
point perhaps that made you say I want to try sobriety.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Absolutely, there were many little moments over many years where
I thought, I think my life might be better without
this what I now call a toxic substance. You know,
there was a lot of fun times, but there are
a lot of times that I didn't feel so good
that I didn't like some of the choices I made.
Maybe some of the things I said, and also just
the kind of person I wanted to be didn't really
(07:04):
line up with drinking for me, and so it took
me a while. It took me several tries to actually
give it up, but ultimately I was able to finally
say no. And now I live a life free of alcohol,
and I just want to encourage other people to get
curious about it. I don't call anyone to give up
drinking forever. That's a little bit scary sometimes to think about,
(07:26):
but I do say, hey, maybe think about how is
alcohol affecting your life? Is it contributing in positive ways?
And maybe just rethink how you're using this substance. And
so ber October is a great time.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
To do that. I'm guessing that you learned a little
bit about yourself.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean I think I like to
say that I wouldn't. I don't put myself in a
category of someone that had a full blown addiction. However,
I do say that, like many women really and men too,
I used alcohol as a way to self medicate. I
use it as a way to sort of deal with
stress and as so many of us do. And I
(08:02):
think there are people that can do that in a
way that it doesn't really inhibit them. But there are
a lot of people that realize this is something that
is holding me back. It is not making me the
best person I want to be, and I realize that.
So when I let go of alcohol in my life,
I began to like sort of break through other barriers
that had been I had been sort of like using
alcoholis and excuse, and I was able to really face
(08:24):
issues head on, problems haud on that I had not
based in the past, and ultimately was able to really
get productive and really show up for motherhood, which was
another side of this for me. I was really able
to become the full, you know, embodyment of the mom
I want to be. To my kids. That was a
big part of it. And so there was so much
I learned through not escaping with alcohol like I had
(08:45):
been doing for so many years.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You mentioned the words sober curiosity, Erica, Do you know
is there a is it broken down by demographic on
who really is more sober curious than others?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah, sober curious, it's kind of it's a little bit
of an elusive of phrase. But what But what I
can tell you on the numbers is that women is
just like thirty five and over, like thirty five to
fifty five about that is one of the biggest groups
that we're seeing stop drinking as well. And then gen Z,
So these are the two largest groups you're seeing. I
know it's weird to say, gen Z, women thirty five
(09:17):
and over. A lot of that actually has to do
with you know, there's a lot of education now about
how alcohol is really bad for our physical bodies, and
it also affects like the hormonal health of women, and
we're starting to realize that and starting to pay attention
to the things we're putting into our bodies more now,
gen Z, I would say that maybe a bit of
a different story. Some would say, oh, gen Z is
relying on other types of substances these days than alcohol,
(09:40):
and so that's I think, maybe it's own sort of
case study that needs to be done, but it is
encouraging to see across the board less drinking. Overall. We're
all demographics. As people learn more and more about how
alcohol effects the mind, body, spirit, and they recognize, hey,
maybe this is a bit like smoking was back in
the day, like people thought it was to when we
(10:00):
find a smoke even while pregnant at certain times. And
today we're hearing more and more as the American Cancer
Society comes out and says, hey, no amount of alcohol
is safe for you. There's a five percent association with
different types of cancer at least, and breast cancer is
one of them. And so, among many other reasons, though,
that was one of the reasons I decided I've got
(10:21):
to get this out of my life.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I think it was you that said that traditional recovery
programs don't always resonate.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
So traditionally, the main program that people were familiar with
for recovery was Alcoholics Anonymous AA, which is a wonderful
program and I would never tell anyone not to do that. However,
since the rise of the internet has taken over, and
especially since the pandemic, so many other programs have been
founded online for different demographics. And I never really did
(10:51):
AA myself. I joined an online program. This particular program
was called the Luckiest Club, and it was just a
group of people doing it a little different even AA.
All the meetings were online, and I know of at
least five, six, seven other communities that are now available,
and so AA is great, but it's not for everyone,
and you certainly don't have to go to AA in
(11:12):
order to recover. So I would definitely encourage people to
check out some of those other options if they're not
comfortable immediately going to an in person meeting. I know
that can be extremely intimidating. I've done it, and it
was scary. Not so scary anymore, but in the beginning
it really is. So i'd be had I provide a
list of those things on my website at if you
(11:33):
go to sobriety curious dot com, I have a list
of various groups that you can check out. If you
just go to that website, Sobrietycurious dot com and you
can get a full list of different programs that are
available that's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
If this is Eric Anderson and she has a hashtag
free Sober October challenge.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Right, absolutely so. In September, I actually did a thirty
day Everyday challenge. October, I'm doing a little bit of
a condensed version. I'm going to do just a mini
seven day challenge that's going to culminate in an online
webinar that I'm going to do, and I'm just going
to invite people in share my story, share some things
about what it might be like to explore sober curiosity
(12:15):
and explore what does your life look like without alcohol.
So all you need to do to be a part
of that is get on my email list, which you
can get on at society curious dot com. They'll be
added and you'll get the insight and all the information
for that. And I would love to have you, and
you can even show up to this stuff like without
your name, without your picture. We don't need to know
anything about you to just start educating yourself, thinking a
(12:38):
little bit about it, and just seeing, hey, maybe maybe
once I learn about this, this could be something that's
possible for me.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
That's fantastic. Share some advice that you would give to
someone that's trying sober October for the first time.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
If you're a little nervous to go full thirty days,
definitely joining a seven day challenge is going to be
a great first step. But I think the thing I
would say to people is you don't have to be
If you don't make it thirty days, you don't make
it seven days, that's okay. The point of doing this
challenge is to learn something about yourself and how alcohol
affects your life. And a lot of the times we
(13:13):
have not been exploring it. We've just been sort of
mindlessly drinking and hoping, you know, the desire goes away,
or hoping it will solve our problems. But when you
take an intentional look at why you're drinking or what
drinking is doing to your body, you learn so much.
And once you know something new about how it's affecting you,
you can't unlearn that. And because of what you learn,
(13:33):
you're going to make different choices. So don't be scared
of being curious and learning something, because it's probably going
to take you to a better place so where you're
empowered to make choices for yourself that are good and healthy.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Eric Anderson, author influencer. She's written about sobriety many times
in The New York Times Wall Street Journal as well.
She has two books. New book that is launching January sixth,
twenty twenty six, is titled It's Really Sober.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Thank you so much, Yes, Freely Sober. It's a you know,
a three year culmination of my own personal story. There's
a lot of autobiography in there. It's also a journalistic
take on what's happening with alcohol and our cultures, specifically
with women historically, how do we get to where we
are today? And most importantly, I think it's a practical
guide for anyone who's thinking, I want, I'm looking into this,
(14:23):
I'm thinking about this. There's no pressure. It's really just
an invitation to consider how alcohols affected your life and
how it might be how you might change the way
that you're engaging with it. And what I say about
this book is you you will never think about alcohol
the same way again once you read it. And that
doesn't mean you're going to quit, but it does mean
(14:43):
that you're going to be empowered to make better choices.
And so I would be honored if you picked that
book up. You can get it on Amazon right now,
you can pre order it freely sober Erica Anderson is
my name, and then once you're on my email list,
I'll be sending out lots of emails about it. But
I would love those pre orders because they really help
tell Amazon, Hey, people need this book and I want
to help as many women as I possibly can.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Bridy Curious dot com. That's the website. Erica, thank you.
You're a great guest, and we thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
All Right, we'll take a break, but when we come back,
we're going to talk to American Cancer Society's Men Wear
Pink Ambassador. He's one of them. He's from right here
in our building and you're gonna love him. He's out
tailgating at the radio one Slippery Noodle Tailgate, Colds Tailgate.
We'll check in with him after the news on ninety
three WIBC. What is a beautiful, beautiful Sunday. Everybody out

mate hot honey. They're making hot honey bacon. Now, ah,
I love how about that idea hot honey bacon on
your supermarket shelves very soon? Well, the American Cancer Society.
They are leading. It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and
American Cancer Society of truly leading the breast cancer fight
(15:55):
in this twenty first century. They do it with the
help from Men Wear Pink Ambassadors. Ray Lineman is a
news anchor at Telemundo Indy and he's a Man Wear
Pink Ambassador and he joins us now from the Slippery
Noodle where he's hosting our Radio one tailgate party.

so much for having me and give me the pleasure
Terry to share these beautiful news. Yes, please, because be

hundred men around the United States.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
They have the mission to raise money for the American
Cancer Society, and Indiana has fourteen. And I have the
privilege to be the only Latin boy with this beautiful
accent to raise money for these beautiful CAUs.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It really is. Yeah, he's been wearing pink. I mean
he's this is not your first your first time doing this,
he's he's.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
No, he's a third year consecutive. And I'm so happy
to do this because breast cancer, breast cancer, you don't
need to fight alone with this. You need to feel
the support of your society. You need to feel support
or your neighbors or your partner, and we are part
of this. One day, I hope in ten years we
(17:18):
just can have the memory that exists in the past,
a deceit called breast cancer. But the reality is right
now then more than four million breast cancer survivor they
are here in the United States alive, unhappy that two
(17:41):
thousand and six people will be diagnosed with breast cancer
in October twenty twenty five. In Actually, no one has
to face this alone, no one.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Real I have to tell you story.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah, this data is you know, it's concerned because we
are talking about twenty six thousand people will be the
unknosed with breast cancer in October twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, yeah, you're right. And we're gonna find out why
you wear pink. But first of all, Denny's got a question.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I got to tell you a story. Real men didn't
always wear pink. And in the construction in the construction industry,
I was a plumber and I remember showing up on
the job and I heard one of my Hispanic plumbers say, oh,
hefecon Commissa Rosa sta Key and I was so embarrassed.
He said, here comes the boss with a pink shirt,
(18:34):
and I thought, but you can't wear pink anymore. But yeah,
real men do wear pink.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Right, do wear pink and tell us why you wear pink? Right?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I wear pink because this is so personal to me.
I have many friends and path away for breast cancer,
beautiful people, beautiful soul right now, and they inspired me
to have the commitment with my society every single year
to raise money. Last year I raised more than three
(19:10):
almost four thousand dollars between few friends. My goal this
year is double that and it's maybe one of these
beautiful people thanis listen this beautiful radio show can help us.
Is raise Hilaiman in Instagram, go to my bio and
(19:32):
be part of this campaign. Please whatever, whatever amount is important,
and it's important because it's This campaign starts in twenty thirteen,
begun in Jackson, Tennessee, and from now we have ninety
one campaigns from the American Cancer Society with men who
(19:55):
were pink, and these men's raise more than ten million dollar. Wow, yes,
you know, and it's easy to say ten million dollars,
but it's so difficult to find the money. Yeah, but
you know it's a pink shirt, it's a pink jacket.
(20:15):
Every single day in this moment, try to aware, try
to say, hey, give me five dollars, give me ten dollars.
If you can make more than two hundred thousand dollars annually,
why you don't give me five thousand this year?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
God, you're right, it's.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Pretty good on a pink jacket.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I'll say that.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
A pink tie.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Ray Lyman is his name, and he is part of
our Radio one Urban one family here with Telemundo. He's
a news anchor and he's right here on the same
floor with us here. We're going to make sure everybody

of him at the tailgate right now with his cold
jersey love it. Go there to donate and help with
this cause. Three years ago when you started what pushed
you to become an ambassador. Obviously it's a great cause,
but was there anything else that touched you to take this.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Stuff out of Indy? Because I lived in Miami for
many years in Cocana Grove, and I was part of
the family of Miami. You know that when I am
riting in India and I say, okay, I need to
make something that connect me with this city. And I
(21:43):
love the city from from the first five And I
found this guy wearing pink and I said, okay, I
need to be part of this, and they opened hands
with me. And I need to say thank you for
the American Cancer Society because it's a really real, real
privilege to be part of this beautiful group men. And
(22:09):
they have you know, they are in many activities. They
are working in banks, in industry, but they are regular
people to who have facing cancer in first time now
with maybe his partner, maybe his wife. And he's so
(22:33):
tautime when you heard these stories and how they are
with a commitment to fight against cancer.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
YEP, absolutely, all right, We're going to get that. This
is again Ray Lyman, and you can meet him. He
is actually right now tailgating at the Slippery noodle with

into tailgate? Are you having fun?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Oh my god? Yes, well you know everything that we
need to do here, play corn hole, eat burgers, he
can win, saun drink and meet people. But the best
part of this is how beautiful is to wash people
wearing the blue T shirt from the Coats and the
(23:20):
black teachhert from the Raiders in friendship. And this is
a good example that we need to emulate because everyone
in this country need to play together because together we
are unstoppable.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Ye, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
And this is a good example when you see this
beautiful look at oil stadiums full of people that in happiness,
in friendship, in harmony, and we need to fight for
that because Indy is a wonderful city. We have issues
with violence, yes, we have issues with accidents with bikes
(24:05):
every single day, Yes, but we are We have a
beautiful society too, many groups and every single day work
for put together people and export It's one of them.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Ray Liman is his name. I'll y m a n
How can we make a donation? I'm looking at right
now the American Cancer Society page.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Men were Racy Lineman in Instagram and you go to
my bio and decide is safe. And you will be
enjoyed your tax exchange exemption too because you will receive
an app letter from the American Cancer Society and this
is good for your taxes too. But more beyond that,
(24:49):
the most beautiful thing is you are help helping for
a beautiful CAUs, a powerful CAUs, because we need to
find the way to put the beautiful end to breast
cancer in this world.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yes, sir, absolutely all right, So support Ray and all
of those breast cancer, those that are fighting breast cancer.
You can even stop by the Slippery Noodle on your

It's so meaningful this year because Jmiersay was uh an
incredible person for this city. Yeah, and I think this

He is part of our Radio one family and we're
grateful for that too, We truly are. And watch yourself

a haunting. But you're doing such great work, doing great
(26:19):
work for American Cancer Society and breast cancer. Thank you,
my friend. Have a great rest of your day. We'll
talk to you soon.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
And you know what what terrified because this is my
first time and I just speaking English in radio American radio.
Oh my god, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
A great Sierra telemon though.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Really, but news, good news is bilingual and universal.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You're doing a great job, really great job talking to
you today, and we're grateful that you did that with us. Hey, Ray,
we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Good luck, Thank you and enjoyed the sound you.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Betcha all right, see you later. It's eleven forty four
Denny with dollars sin Since coming up next on ninety
three WIBC. You've got a friend in Denny. Take it away.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Alrighty, you've heard about artificial intelligence, right, yes? Oh have we?
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
My inbox just blew up when I talked about getting
kids back into the trades instead of going to college.
And I'm not knocking college because it took me seventeen
years to graduate from college going to night school, and.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It was what my husband did too. It's a long term.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
It took forever. But it's the new shiny bright thing.
But here's the news. Nobody is going to be untouched
by AI. It is everywhere. And I heard an expert
by the name Mahine and Payson, and what a great guy.
He has worked with people like the credit agencies, like Experience.
I think he's worked with the UFC, and he's all.
(27:56):
He's at the right at the beginning of the AI revolution.
And not everybody's going to like what's coming. It's going
to get ugly. I did some numbers and here are
the real numbers, and they're very, very brutal. The IMF,
the Internettional Monetary Fund, says forty percent of jobs globally
are exposed to AI. Now what this means is AI
is going to win and people are going to lose.
(28:17):
The US Treasury has come up with some interesting statistics.
Twenty five percent of American workers are in high risk categories.
How many twenty five percent? And that means you might
lose your job. That's what high risk.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Means, man, I might even lose my job.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
I thought we were going to be the last ones
that AI would come for more human and creative things
doing radio. They can now take those segments.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
And put it into it. If I may show you
look at this beautiful girl.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Yeah, don't even talk to me about her?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Girl?
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yes, nor what? Because she's they're looking for a talent agent.
She needs an agent. Yet there will be AI person
so actress.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
But there is no sector of this economy that's going
to be untouched and what's so well, there will be.
There's one sector that can't be automated, and there's a
massive shortage of skilled hands work. Micro's right. What can
AI do? It can't sweat underneath the kitchen sink at
seven o'clock in the morning. It can't replace an HVAC
(29:20):
compressor when the people don't have a ninety five degree heat.
It can't rewire a breaker box. You can't download a plumber.
You can't prompt engineers or electricians, and you can't repair
a furnace on chat GPT. But we are sending our
kids to colleges, you know, forty fifty thousand dollars a year.
(29:41):
They're going to run up debt. They'll come out of college,
you get it. You know, one hundred and fifty two
hundred thousand dollars in debt if they don't pay for
it as they go. This is crazy. Micro is right.
We've got to get our kids and those who are
leaving high school. Everybody wants to go for that, you know,
that early life right passage of going to college. You know,
(30:02):
you know, chasing girls and drinking late at night, and
you know, we're all these things that we do.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Panny raids.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I almost said it, but that's a different, different area.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Do they still do that, Kyla?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
No, No, they don't do that stuff. Really the girls do.
The girls do the jockey raids is what they do.
But here's what I'm trying to say, AI might be
able to do that.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Let's go do a penny ray.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
All the things I learned with you too.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I mean, I'm working real hard.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I'm trying to wastcle don't. I'm trying to wait. I'm sorry,
stay out of death. And you know I almost did
the seven midlife things that that scare people to death
about finance, and one of them was dead. And some
of the dead comes right out of college. I mean,
I think I told you the story of years of
a physician. Uh friend, I'll call it had eight hundred
(30:56):
thousand dollars in student loan debt and that's how he
started his career. And think to yourself, well, wait a minute,
I know plumber is down in Fort Myers. You know
that are making four hundred thousand dollars a year. Terry. Okay,
so maybe I can't fix a heart, but by god,
I can fix a garbage disposal if she can't. And
there's money in them our hills. I've bragged about the
(31:17):
guy that helps me in on my yard up at
the farm. Went to school for two years, ran up
to debt, and then got into the electricians apprenticeship program.
He's in his third getting ready for his fourth year.
He's paid off his debts, he's making good money. And
I'm saying to myself, I got a grandson who's going
to graduate. All he wants to do is go to college.
And I want to say, okay, but what are you
(31:38):
going to do when you get out of college? Because
AI is coming for you. There's not a single trade
that's not going to be touched by AI and that
is absolutely terrifying to me.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
So but please, Ikeep, you know how my mind drifts
and goes in different places.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
No, I've never noticed that.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I can't the garbage disposal this now it won't turn
on in the switch.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay, what could that be?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Is it in the switch or is it perhaps the
garbage disposal? And I'm so sorry, but it made me
think of that because gunk is starting to get into
the garbage disposal and it's starting to smell.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Okay, now I'm going to give you the answer. Okay, Okay,
if there's something jammed in the garbage disposal, it has
a reset button because it will overheat and trip that
that little reset button on the bottom, it's right on
the bottom. You just push it up, run cold water,
and then if it doesn't turn then turn it off
and take a broom handle and force it to move.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Oh that makes me nervous. I think I just would
rather That's why you call a plumber. Garbage disposals make
me nervous.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Okay, you can go on AI and ask them the question,
but they can't tell you crap. So anyway, the point
I'm trying, I'm sorry, no, no, no, everybody's going to
be touched by AI. This is the equivalent of the
Industrial Revolution. And AI has only been here three years.
It's only been here thirty four months. Now, think about
how quick this has come upon it. The Industrial Revolution
(32:54):
took one hundred years. This is coming so fast that Google,
who controls all of the search engines forever, totally changed
their business model. I mean that was monumental. When they
first made that announcement in their quarterly reports, the market
sort of froze up because Google, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Their ass is threatened by AI and they're the biggest
search engines.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I will and that means more data centers.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
No, I will tell you this. That's exactly where this
is going. But I'm going to be here to predict
that Google will be a non issue for search engines
within eighteen months, because we won't. We have chat, GPT,
we have all of these.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
You know, which overrides the Google. You're saying instead, of
everybody giving, we will be.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Asking Gemini all of these things. They're all learning from
each other. Remember when I think I did this about
six weeks ago. We used to double knowledge once a century, Okay,
every year we'd get twice as much, or every one
hundred years we get twice as much knowledge. And then
after World War Two it was every thirty years. And
do you know how often we double knowledge right now?
(33:58):
It's every twelve hours.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
We are doubling our every twelve hours because of all
of this stuff coming at us.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Right and so pretty soon AI will be our teachers.
AI will be our teachers. Now we might have somebody
to show you, but even now, we've got robotics, these
Da Vinci methods, you know, and it doesn't take long
for the robots to learn how to do it without
the human intervention.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
The Divinchi methods you're talking about in medicine and the
Divini that robots center doing.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Exactly what I'm telling you is be ready because this
is coming and it is not slowing down. And what
I fear is that we're going to have all these
college educated kids that are coming out, They're all going
to be going for the same jobs at McDonald's because
their jobs in finance, in investment banking, all of these
jobs are just being replaced by AI. And there are
(34:47):
tons of people getting their layoff notice. So got to
have a plan B. And that's what I'm saying. I
would love to go to talk to any high school
and say, look, I know you want to go to college.
I do I know that you want to get away
from mom and dad, you want to do all the
type of things. Don't go into debt if you can't
go to college and pay for it as you go.
Don't go into debt because it's going to take you
that much longer when you become an electrician, a plumber,
(35:09):
and an HVAC technician to pay off all this stuff
you're going to go through. But no human being in
the world will be untouched by AI. And it is
doubling every twelve hours. So look where we're going to
be in three months.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Some of those apprentice jobs you talk about in hvac
and plumbing, electric all of that is that when it's
an apprentice, are you do you pay for that training.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Or what a great question. No, Normally your employer pays
for it and you can start off anywhere from twenty
to twenty five dollars an hour, and then you rank
up to what we call journeyman's wage, which could be
sixty seventy five eighty dollars an hour. And each year
that you learn a little bit more, you get more
and more percentage of what we call journeyman's wage, and
the employer's paying for it, or the union's paying for it.
(35:51):
And that sure sounds a lot better to me, and
sounds better to me. Not everybody's gonna like what's.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Coming on me.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I think it's listen. I don't think we can scream
and tell it enough because it is so the stuff
that we keep reading, it is here, it is now
before the end. I mean, look wherever you are.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
If you want job security, skip the cubicle. That's what
I'm saying, pick up a tool. Trades aren't planned, b
they are the future that AI cannot touch.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
That's Denny Smith, I'm Terry, Stacy, Kylin Talley. Do you
all want to come back for another hour?
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Oh, let's come back. Thanks for watching us on YouTube
for those that are there, thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
In front of me, I am wearing pink today.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Ladies, men, wear pink and wear pink. All right, that's it, guys,
we're going to take a break. Today's top stories are
coming up next right here on ninety three WIBC and
