Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh, there's never a shortage of dumb people doing really
stupid things. Welcome to another edition of Idiotology with Lynchititako
one on one one w Jarr. But you're freaking idiots,
all right. This hour has brought you by our thousand
dollars cash giveaways. They are set to return on Monday. Yeah,

(00:22):
you're gonna have thirteen chances each weekday while you rock
on the job to win one thousand dollars. Pretty simple.
You're already doing what you need to do. Listen to Jarr.
Just you know, grab the keywords. It'll go out our
least starting Monday morning with us at nine oh five,
and then you put them in at WJR dot com.
Someone's picked at random each hour. Thousand bucks. Pretty straightforward deal. Okay,

(00:47):
So this story that we're gonna start with here, uh,
is an illustration of something that's starting to become a
bit of a business, and it involves drones and people
who fly drones over areas that are in the news,
hoping to gain footage that they can then parlay into

(01:08):
selling to news outlets. Happens, It's happening a lot, and
that's suspected of what might have occurred during coverage of
a brushfire on the West Coast, and a mayor of
a town called Encino is furious that whoever was operating
a drone as a helicopter. The firefighting helicopter was attempting

(01:31):
to extinguish and control this brushfire. The drone that was
operating trying to capture footage of this smashes into the
fire fighting helicopter, forcing it to land to check for
damage before it could continue fighting the fire. This isn't
something that you normally, you know, think of on a

(01:53):
daily basis, and you know, on the whole drone thing,
you hear about drones all the time, drones this, drones.
Do you really on a day to day see much
drone traffic. I've yet to really personally encounter that, although
I'm not actively looking for it. I suppose once you
get into a situation where there's you know, an active

(02:15):
crime scene or a potential one, or something controversial going on,
you're gonna have entrepreneurs taking to the air and the
mayor's like, hey, look, we don't know who you are,
but if we find you, I hope to a rest
and prosecute you for interfering with you know, operations of
putting out a fire pretty weird modern technology problems that

(02:42):
you know. This wasn't something that we even fathomed a
decade ago. But here it is smacking into a firefighting
helicopter trying to put out a brush fire before it
spreads into a wildfire, just to get some footage to sell.
You got what you needed, buddy. Meanwhile, in North Carolina,

(03:05):
we've got a sheriff of Forsyth County who apparently is
very sold on this humanoid robot that he just came
into possession of. It's called the Unitary g One, part
of a collaboration with the University of North Carolina's School
the Arts and Center for Design Innovation. The Robodeputy is

(03:28):
meant to stand in for human cops during intense standoffs
and hostage negotiations. Here's the sheriff doing the hard cell.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
We could send a humanoid into that same situation and
accomplish the same things. Hasa's negotiation reached the door, Go
inside of the house, do all the talking and recording.
I can program it to do whatever I want to do.
Hit buttons. As you saw, I started fighting and started dancing.
It talks any motion that I want to do. I

(04:00):
can program it to do.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Let's send it.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Send in the robot to dance for the person who's
in the hostage standoff situation. I don't know, man, I'm
not saying we should put people in harm's way, but
there are a lot of folks who are especially trained
to try to talk people through and calmly end hostage

(04:25):
standoffs and things of that nature. I don't know if
somebody who has come to the point where they're actually
holding someone hostage or is pinned down and surrounded by police,
is probably gonna be in the frame of mind to
negotiate with the robot. All it could be proved wrong.
Sheriff sounds like he's pretty pretty sold on the whole idea.

(04:46):
We'll see man's blowing out.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Man's got to me.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Actually, Florida woman in this case, and it took till
Friday to get one, but we got one. Thirty seven
year old Pamela Molina Port Saint Lucy. She hailed a
ride share, got in, she got in and settled in
and broke out her canister of nitrous oxide and got
to huffing. The right share drivers like, hey, you can't

(05:27):
be doing that. In here, Pamela was ignoring her completely,
just you know, pinning the old eyes back and uh,
continue to huff. And the driver's like, I need you
to get out of the vehicle, stop the cart. She
would not. She would not get out, So the ride

(05:48):
share driver drove right over to the Port Saint Lucy
Police department, pulled in the parking lot, made a call, said, Hey,
I'm outside. I've got someone in my ride share who
is using to get out. Could I please get some help.
Out comes an officer who tries to engage Pamela, who
guess what, she's in the ignoring the cop. So they're like, lady,

(06:15):
you gotta get out, you gotta get out, you gotta
get out. Still not getting out, so they forcibly removed
her from the car, at which time she was still
trying to huff from the nitrous oxide canister.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I don't know, dude, oh my god, that you would
have a whole canister with you, not just a little.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
This is like a pretty good size deal, or like
the industrial size. So she was pretty all in and
fixated to the point where not even a cop was
going to get her to relent. J R r Is
