Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nice Tony Kats The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My
name is Greg Collins filling in. That was fun as
far as an intro goes grease. But all right, let's
do this. The popcorn moment brought to you by Boer
Remodeling Company. Yes, the popcorn moment for me is actually
somewhat old. It's from a couple days ago, but it's
(00:22):
relevant to what happened yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So Alena Habba popped up on Fox I think Jesse
Waters Show on the twenty third saying I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not cowering from a fight. Alena Hobba was removed
by Woke Attorneys in New Jersey as the interim Attorney
in New Jersey for the US Attorney's Office there, and
(00:44):
then she was installed by the Trump administration as the
acting US Attorney in Jersey, which was just it is
ah Chef's kiss amazing. But here's what Hobba said a
couple days ago when this first started to happen. Oh wait,
hold on, you actually have to be able to hear it.
So let me hit this button and then let's do this.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
This public sphere for the last four years knows I'm
not a coward to a fight. So I have obviously
been doing my job. I do my job irrespective of
who you are, what you are, what your politics are.
That's what I said when I swore on my oath
in that oval office in the picture you just showed.
So I'll continue to do so.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I'm going to keep doing that. I'm going to keep
doing that job. So it's a little complicated. What happened. Essentially,
a group of judges I decided that Haba wasn't allowed
to continue acting as the interim attorney in Jersey, so
they fired her, and then they installed somebody else. And
then Pam Bondi said, you know what, this is funny,
I actually have oversight over this.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I'm going to remove the.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Candidate that you've picked, and they're now not definitely the
attorney in New Jersey. And then Trump said, well, now
that there's no buddy work in that, I get to
put somebody in there. And I'm going to put oh,
look at this, Alina Haba into this role.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It was awesome and it's probably.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
A move that everybody knew they could orchestrate the moment
that they start to talking about it. And so I
just found it uniquely hilarious that it went that road,
and it took a couple of days, and now she's
in the same position without having the interim title hanging
over anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
So just amazing, amazing things.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I will say this, though, I contemplated a very different
popcorn moment, and I can bring in Matt and Carl
to talk about this one too. There is a meme
stock thing going around right now. Meme stock Rally is
what I should call it, based on Sidney Sweeney. So
Sidney Sweeney is the new model for American Eagle, which
(02:34):
is a brand of clothing that hasn't been doing well
for a while, mostly because it's very closely tied to
mals and not a lot of people go to those anymore.
But Sidney Sweeney has single handedly helped the stock at
least rally in the short term because of the Internet's
obsession with Sidney Sweeney. I love the amount of people
who are asking the question like would this work? And here's
(02:54):
what they did, And this is why it's not really
a popcorn moment for radio because there's no audio. Put
Sydney Sweeney in a pair of jeans. They put her
in front of a very fancy car. They had her
close the hood to the car like she knew how
to work on it, and then get into it and
drive away.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's the entirety of the commercial.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
She doesn't even speak, and the stock for American Eagle
immediately skyrocketed. Oh they do zoom in on her butt,
by the way, that also is a compoundent.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I was gonna say, she's dressed like a mechanic, right,
she has to cover alls on, folded clothed. You can't
see any of her skin anywhere. I mean, she's teaching
people how to work on a car.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, well but the jeans are tight.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Oh okay, trying to portray her as a mechanic.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, you see the shape of the of the butt.
This this single handedly has let this stock rebound. And
I loved that a lot of people were asking the
question right after it happened, like will this work?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah? Was my answer to this, Matt, what do you
go out of this?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Absolutely, it'll work. I'll go buy American Eagle.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Now, I'll go buy women's jeans from America. Listen, I
can sit here and tell you all I wanted. I
know I've said it before about Instagram, and the filters,
and you know, there's too much of fake.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I mean, you know, I say that, but I still
buy into it all the time.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I mean, I'm a human being, I'm a man, and
I like women, So yeah, that'll catch my attention.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Whether or not.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
At last, it still kind of gives me. It's the
same time this icky Amber Crombie feel. You know, I
remember the Ambercrombie and Fish scandal when they were doing
what they were doing to the models and everything else.
It turns out the whole workforce culture was pretty awful.
Whether you're male, female, or whatever, however you identified sexually,
(04:29):
it was pretty awful. So it kind of gives me
that vibe because American Eagle is kind of an Amber
Crombie store, Like you said, it was a mall store.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
So I still kind of put all that the same time.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
So I hope American Eagle actually gets something out of this,
and I hope everybody's being treated well, that's all I can.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, I hope that American Eagle also has like long
term success, because I do think that this might be
short lived, the whole Sydney cleaning thing, you know, because
we do pay attention and then we lose interest if
there's not more of videos of this young woman you know,
looking good in this clothing. Although they can put out
a bunch of them, I'm sure Sidney Sweeney can take
(05:06):
a bunch of different.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Other photos and videos that will work out just fine.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
How to continue to rally the troops via the meme
stocks that are out there in society?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Well, what does she do after work on the car?
You know?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Sidney sweene fixes a car? Sidney Sweeney is I'm glogging
the toilet?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Look at that?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I think so? Yeah again in tight jeans. Yes, I
think it goes.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Actually, I gotta be honest, man, the plumber move would
be the smartest move because no time, yeah, no time
is it ever fun.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
To see plumbers crack? But if it were Sidney.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Sweeney, I think that a lot of society would be
much more okay with this idea. And yeah, yeah, the
people who it actually is are terrible as far as anyway,
I'm so mean to plumbers right now. I apologize to
all you guys out there. You don't look like Sidney Sweeney.
Twenty four percent of people are you? Twenty four percent
of people are using AI to fact check their doctors.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Are we worried about this?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Absolutely, okay, fantastic worried about good? I mean, I mean
I have a good doctor. I have a good family doctor,
and I've seen her for fifteen years. I trust her effectively.
I mean, a doctor to me is still something you
should have a personal relationship with.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Well, I know everybody's using AI.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
But me, I feel like I'm the only guy in
the world that's not using AI right now. It's probably
because I don't know how to work. And as Sue,
as I figured out, I'll use it too, But it's
scared it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Have a doctor where if you go in and you
have a question and they answer it away you don't like,
you change the doctor and then wait for one no.
And I mean I mean this honestly, Like Oka, if
you had asked questions about I'm somewhat kidding, but I
do mean it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
If you had asked questions.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
About COVID and the vaccine and you had a doctor
that got offended, change your doctor. Just go to a
different doctor who's willing to have the conversation with you
about that stuff, and then find one like Matt did,
that you can stick with for fifteen years. That makes
sense to me and don't trust AI more than your doctor.
It says more about the specific professional that you're choosing
to trust your health to than it says about the
(06:57):
industry as a whole. That people are doing this, in
my opinion, and also the amount of people who are
incapable of asking a question that they think is going
to get them in trouble with somebody else.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Well, think of it this way.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I mean, I'm getting to the I don't want to
say I'm a hypochondriact, but if I have a strange
pain somewhere, I get a little more concerned about what
I used to do when I was in my twenties.
So I go to my doctor and she checks me out.
She says, well, your blood work came back. Everything's good,
You're good, You're fine. But for some reason that doesn't
click in my head. The good part I judge her reaction, like,
was she give me the side eye when she said
that she's just trying to give a good bedside man
(07:28):
or maybe she knows something. So I go home and
I google this thing, you know, strange pain in my head,
whatever you know my side and WebMD comes up. AI
comes up and says, you will die tomorrow, and I'm thinking,
then I'm even more concerned than what I was originally.
I mean, your doctor is your doctor if you trust them,
and if they're saying, you know, this is nothing. But
if my medicine is left into the hands of me,
(07:51):
I'm going to live a miserable life. It's what I'm saying,
because of WebMD, because of AI, I need a professional
to give you that prognosis. Be giving myself a prognosis,
I shouldn't be trusting gay I to do it either.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's all true.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I will say one last thing about this is funny
because we've been creating this digital show that we hope
to release at some point. Matt and I and I
was just talking this week on our podcast thing about
how I'm pretty sure I have a kidney stone, but
no doctor has told me that I actually have one
of those yet. And you guys were so nice when
I mentioned that, like, ah, it's so terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We feel bad for you.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
But it's not actually a thing that I've been diagnosed
with yet. It just it just seems like it might
be true based on pain, the way pain is occurring
in my body, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Et cetera.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And also that I really love things like Mountain dew
Amp energy which make your pea change color.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
I'm absolutely surewise you just drink it.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, dude, it's the craziest thing, the green amp energy
drink that I enjoy to consume occasionally.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't drink it all the time. I turned to
the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It really does turn your you know, bathroom one situation
into something that's a neon color.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It shouldn't be, and my wife is told it does.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
My wife has told me for a while that that's
evident that I'm creating a problem in my body.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Charles Neon, this is fun.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I love that I admitted this on this show too.
I was going to keep that for just a podcast,
but nope, now it's on the radio. All right, we'll
take a break. We'll take a break. A lot coming up.
