Welcoming back Rory O'Neil the program twenty four to seven
News National correspond At Rory, we have a new one
out now ranking these safest cities in the United States,
which is kind of important in this day and age.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
What does it show?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
What does it show?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Yeah, this is a wallet Hub survey, and this is
not just about crime statistics.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Let me be clear.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's not just rapes and murders and assaults and hate crimes.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
There's more to it.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
There's also how vulnerable is a community to a natural
disaster a tornado, a flood, a hurricane, and also what's
the safety net for the population there. Do they have
a chance to get jobs? Are they saving for their
retirement so they have a rainy day fund?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So it really is more.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Of a it's a much more broad approach to look
at what it really means to be a safe city.
And out of one hundred and eighty two cities that
were ranked, Omaha does quite well, coming in number thirty
two on the list, scoring well specifically in those physical crimes,
also scoring well on the potential for the financial security,
(01:06):
a little bit worse off in the natural disaster risk,
but coming in thirty two is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, out of one hundred and eighty two, it is. Yeah.
On the natural disaster thing, I for some reason don't
have access to that study.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I usually see the.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Wallet up stuff. Where does Amaha come in on the
natural disaster scale?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Specifically, they are number ninety six on the natural disasters again,
so smack dab in the middle, right out of one
hundred and eighty two, So right in the middle of
that survey. Some of the places that are the least safe,
well a lot of them are in the South bats
on Rouge Louisiana, Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans. Louisiana comes
(01:46):
in dead last in the survey.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
At I was going to say that that would be
That would have been my guess. Actually, yeah, well we
got the tornado thing here, we get the flooding here
and blizzards and so on, But yeah, we stack up
pretty well otherwise. Now AI is huge, of course, and
getting bigger by the day. Rory, what does a career
(02:10):
in AI? I was a lot of kids, rightly, so
are looking at what do they?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
They need to go in with their eyes open?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Right, Well, they do, and maybe they will be tough
to keep them closed or to not, by the way,
the number one safe thet city, by the way, is
where I went to high school in Warwick, Rhode Island.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Just to put that.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Out, really, I thought it was I thought it was Warwick,
but as Warwick.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Huh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
If someone says Warwick, typically someone youngers Warwick.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
That's a whole okay the way, but yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
In AI, it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
All right, have you heard the term nine nine six.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm not. It's not ringing a bell.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
All right, well, let's not tell the boss about it,
because nine ninety six is actually description of your work
schedule nine to nine, six days a week.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And that's the culture, that's.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
The ethos that's now emerging among these AI startup companies.
Everyone wants to sort of finally figure out AI and
a lot we're still on the brink and on the
edge and it's still in its infancy. But the company
that actually figures it out and gets those business applications,
those people are going to be rich and beyond a
sultan's dream. And they're grinding it out these seventy two
(03:28):
hour work weeks, mostly young men who are doing this
work in office, by the way, so very different from
what we saw like during COVID when everyone's sort of
relaxing at home and they'll go out to the cafe
and come back an hour later and maybe check their
emails and you.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Know, la di dah. Whereas no, no, no, this is.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Grinded out, hardcore work in the office. Seventy two hours
a week at least.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
They want you in the office eight hours or nine
hours on a Saturday, of apparently.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That's twelve hours to think to nine am today are six?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah and nine nine six.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
That's that's sort of the mentality that they're embracing. That's
included in job postings, and people are knocking on the
door to do it because they all envision themselves they'll
be the next Bill Gates, the.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Next Mark Zuckerberg.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You know, work like crazy until you're twenty eight and
then cash out and you're done for life.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, if you got the work ethic and a willingness
to do that, Uh, that kind of turn that kind
of turns on its head what we've heard about the
work ethic of the young generation.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But right, well, if you see.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Especially in this sector, yeah, yeah, so what what industries?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
All industries, I suppose they're almost all of them are
embracing this.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well, this is what we're seeing in the AI sector.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
The Washington Post had a report out this week looking
at many of the AI startup companies, and again, you
know these typically again young men are maybe not making
a ton of money right now, but a lot of
times they're getting ownership options of companies.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
And you know, if you stick the landing here on
the big deal, you will be rewarded.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So a lot of them really investing in themselves. I
guess for when I say long term, I mean five years,
but I guess that's what they consider long term these days,
because your fortunes are being won and lost.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
On a dime here.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Look, I'll only offer this caution in that being first
isn't always the best thing. You know, Beta Max was first,
Atari was first, my Space was first. You know, there's
plenty of money and profit to be made in building
the better mouse tracks. So I would say, you know,
don't go crazy just being first, Just keep making.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
A better product.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know what's interesting, I thought you mentioned Beta Max kids.
This goes back to the videotapes. If we used to
buy movies, I mean they're running Beta Max was actually
a superior product Why why it didn't supersed VHS, I
don't know, but it didn't. And AT died well, and
(05:57):
I still got some beta eclipsing AM.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Right, you know, AM was first. But you know, then
those FM folks decided to come along.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, once they realized that people weren't really interested in
hearing twenty four to seven symphony music, and they got
they started doing real radio.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Right, but also artificially, the industry held down you know,
what you would call AM stereo for years. It was
a high it was a high fidelity frequency FM was
and they said, oh, that's just for the pot smokers,
don't worry about that, and they were just they were
just a sleep of the wheel instead of enhancing the
AM signal and the AM stereophonic sound.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
It never happened.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well yeah, and then it became an AM by the
stations like this one that the thrite and the smaller ones,
a lot of them were saved by Rush Limbaugh for
a while. Oh absolutely, Hey Rory, thanks man. Always good
to have you, honest

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
