Speaker 1 (00:01):
There's sure report on ninety six A.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Curious to see if you think we need this.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Scarlett Johansson has signed on to star in a new
Exorcist movie. Writer director Mike Flanagan, who's behind films like
Absentia and the Life of Chuck, says, quote unquote, this
is not a remake nor a sequel, but is set
in the same universe, the Exorcist universe.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, hard to people are still going to associate it
with the other one, which is impossible.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
On top exactly, you can't. That was a moment and
it's done. He promises, a fresh, bold spin on the
horror classic. Oh, I don't know, baism is an exorcism?

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Linda Blair spun a few times, didn't She said a
few choice words, spa this and.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
That it was. It was pretty full on. Nice work
if you can get it.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Jennifer Lopez just picked up three million bucks for performing
a few songs at an Indian wedding, like a.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Hat what's a few?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Maybe three or four? Oh, they do love a lavish
wedding in India. The billionaire couple had a fifteen foot
cake in the shape of a palace.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
You've got a manifest and obviously musically a Latin theme.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yes, I think she had more costume changes than actual
songs that she performed. Lindsey Buckingham's teased a new albums
in the works. He says the new album is representative
of the culmination of everything that I've learned from making
solo records over the last twenty five years. His last
album was in twenty twenty one. Now we've been going

(01:35):
down an AI rabbit hole this week, speaking to various
experts and trying to get our heads around this brave
new world, and now the Pope is getting in on it.
Pope Leo has some words of advice for students. At
a national Catholic youth conference, he told the kids, don't
ask AI to do your homework.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
I can process information quickly, but it cannot replace human infallage,
and don't ask it to do your homework for you.
It can, it cannot offer real wisdom. This is a
very important human element. AI will not judge between what
is truly right and wrong.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
He's got a point.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
He's got a point, right, Pope Leo said.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
AI is becoming one of the defining features of our time,
but it can never replace the unique gift that you
are to the world. I can't get used to finding
the Pope easy to understand. I mean, they've always been
Italian or something that's like that.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Was like a Ted talk.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
It's always I'm probably go white socks.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
I mean that's when AI would have been handy for
a pope translator, when they were when I couldn't understand
a word they were saying.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
But this guy also that's true.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
And he's right about the homework thing too, because if
everyone does their homework on AI, everyone's going to put
going to be submitting exactly the same work.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah. Yeah, So from in certain name here, listen to
the Pope.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
He's a wise man.
