Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Show.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Well, I see you came in isot. You were getting
ready for summer early Chuck not wearing a shirt today.
This is very interesting.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Do you like him? Huh? I love it.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I love it man. You uh you well, you've transformed man,
since I first met you, you were you are much lighter.
You hear how Zak Attack likes him? He's in there
the play in the Hatfield thatt Field.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, who needs a flotation device when you're a Chuck A.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Sixty four? Really? Man, it is so nice. Yes, it is,
Holy cow, it's beautiful. Tell me you had your windows down,
Let the hair blow through your scalp.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
It's a good thing. Engineering people keep the remote broadcast
equipment because we would be in the parking lot right now.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
We're broadcasting live from the parking lot. Why, well, it's
nice out. Yes, we just wanted to put the.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Car in the show man, come on bye, bring pie.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yes, a railroad. Jason's like, oh, through the bat signal
up here we go. Yeah. Man, it is hard to
think that literally within what I'm kind of doing the
math here, I'm trying to do the math twenty four
to forty eight right less than well tomorrow at twenty four,

(01:49):
So we got a winter re mix late moving in tomorrow,
So the temperature is going to begin to plummet around
what would that be twenty four to twenty eight or
so hours from Yeah, and then by Thursday, forty is
going to be the high. It's just weird. Look, forty
is still really good. I think this time we're probably
around seasonable. But then you know, we start climbing again

(02:13):
from there. So I don't think these little dips, I
don't think we're going to be staying in them very long.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
And then as of Sunday, for all those who like
daylight deception time, we won't be getting dark till like
eight o'clock any evening. So yeah, you have that going on.
So if the temperatures can warm up a bit again
next week, combined with that perceived later daylight, it might
not be a bad week.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I love it. I absolutely love when we spring forward.
I do I know that it is a it's such
a vaultattle subject. A lot of people get, you know,
all work, but I don't know. I guess ask me
again middle of next week, right, because they say a
couple of days and then you start going, man, I
hate this.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
I don't think you know, it's not a fight for me.
I just think it's stupid. Yeah, it's that simple. I mean,
why one hour? Why not three hours? Let's keep it
late until midnight every night. Yeah, you know, it's it's
not real, it's fake. We're faking ourselves out as a country,
and everybody's walking around stupid and we're all conjoined at

(03:13):
the mental hip on this. Yes, this is good, this
is no, it's not.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Well. It's been presented many times to Congress to just
you know, put it there and leave it there. Yeah,
and it looks like it could be getting traction and
then well I don't so. I just don't think it's
high on on Trump's list right now. But if there's
somebody who could probably get it done, it might be him.
Would you like it to stay once we're an hour

(03:37):
forward or would you want it to stay like how
it is?

Speaker 3 (03:41):
The clock should reflect real time, so well now time, yes,
so just stay here and don't move it. Yes, Okay,
eight thirty sunset in the summer is just as good
as nine thirty if you want things and start your
day at a different time. You know, you have businesses
changed their hours our summer hours are instead of nine
to five, make them ten to six or whatever. It's

(04:03):
a lot easier for people to change than to deceive
yourself into thinking the rotation of the earth has changed.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
What about just leaving what would so then what would
that look like if we just left it an hour?
We spring forward Saturday night, so at two o'clock it
becomes three o'clock. We lose an hour, But then we
leave it like that? What does that look like in
the winter. I'm not smart enough to think that far ahead.
You would see those we're dark around five in the winter.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Go until about six o'clock before it was dark in
the winter.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Well is that a bad thing? I'm just asking.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
It'll stay dark in the mornings until about ten. Oh
that late? Yeah, I mean, look at what happens next week.
This morning, kids catching the bus at seven am. They
got a little daylight, they do. They'll be in the
dark on Monday, right right, So yeah, that's and it'll
be about eight before it starts getting light again. But
then that's that kind of goes away by what.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
May Yeah, because that's when they get asked, our axis changes,
our rotation.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
It just I don't know, I just I find it
silly that we con ourselves out. I said it before.
I'm going to set the scales back thirty pounds and
say I lost weight tomorrow. It's the same concept. You
still weigh what you weigh, whether you want to admit
it or not. Changing the scale does not change that.
Do you weigh less in the morning or in the afternoon?

(05:19):
Usually in the morning, yes, yeah, absolutely, I'm so full
everybody's crap by the middle of the day, I've put on.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
And that's not the reason, but that absolutely is the truth.
So which is more reflective of your real weight? Would
it be in the afternoon or in the morning. I
don't know, you understand what I ask.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, but that's that's a matter of a couple of
pounds not you know.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Usually it can be significant, depends on how heavy of
a breakfast and lunch you've had. I don't know, but yeah. Anyway,
So tonight, I do know that it'll be warmer in
Tampa where the Jackets will be tonight as they kick
off the four game road series. They're at Tampa to
play the Bolts tonight. Igor China Kough was activated today.

(06:01):
I pause there because I thought you're gonna go bless you. Yeah, you.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
You go. I love it.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Mcgallagaan, I love you, buddy. Anyway, he was activated after
missing thirty nine games with a back injury. So winger
Egor China Coough is back in the mix tonight. So
exam is very good. Yeah, okay, thirty five, twenty one
and four and then uh yeah, I'm not sure on
the point standings where they're at. I don't have that
in front of me. But it's going to be good.

(06:32):
It's going to be really good. They'll be in the
postseason again. And so uh yeah, Jackets have their work
cut out for him. There are no I don't think
this is a uh I don't think there's any easy
as far as this road game goes, or this road
series goes.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
I should say. So they come out of Tampa to
night three to two, that's gonna be a wonderful thing
if they win. Yes, oh my gosh, yeah great.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Because there's no style points in hockey that doesn't exist.
If you win by one goal, that was fantastic. And
by the way, even if you get to overtime and
you still win, you still get the two points. Like
we talked about yesterday. It's just the other team will
then get one point, so uh, nobody goes away empty
handed as far as points go, but you you're looking

(07:14):
to go to leave with the two and then you
want to win in regulation clearly as well. So this
will be good tonight. Elvis is gonna go between the pipes.
So we got we got merge. Lincoln's uh, he's he's
in good form right now. So man, everybody's clicking. How
about the pause on Ukraine? The aid that was ordered?
He Trump pausive? Am I seeing this right? Did? Did

(07:37):
did Zelensky then reach out and go, I'm I'm ready
for peace? Did he say? Did I see that correctly?

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah? Pretty much. So he's he said he's all ready
to sit down and have any discussion with Putin.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
And Trump's so dumb, isn't he? Geez, He's just stupid.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
That have been criticizing him are the ones that are dumb,
and I have. I've so had my feel with I
with so many. I've been talking about this for three
weeks now. They are friends, there are people I know
some times I really like them, but they are so
anti Trump that that's all they post. I love you,
I mean it, but I'm sick of you. You're not
bright enough to understand what this man is doing. Neither

(08:14):
am I. To a large degree. That's why he's Trump.
He gets stuff that we don't get. And when you say, well,
he's just interested in getting mineral rights in Ukraine, that's
a yes. So that the United States has a vested interest,
which means Vladimir Putin would not dare touch Ukraine with
US interest involved, which is exactly how Putin will keep

(08:36):
his word on a ceasefire. But Zelenski says, I don't
give a damn what Zelenski says. Preach he does not know.
He's not bright en though. Keep in mind, this guy
was the Leslie Nielson of Ukraine before he accidentally got
elected to something. And when you say, but Trump called
him a dictator, maybe that's because his term expired last
May and he decided to declare martial law in the

(08:59):
wake of the war, not allow any new elections. If
Donald Trump did that, you'd call him a dictator.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
They call him a dictator, and he hadn't even doing.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
That before he got elected. He was called a dictator
this time around. You people are so twisted in your
Trump derangement syndrome that you don't bother to see the
reality of what's going on. Just your anger at this
man and you saddened me.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, it is not like, it's not about support for Ukraine.
It's about not wanting to support Trump. That's really what
it comes down to. These people were non existent until
Friday when all of this went down. They were non existent,
the people that were quote unquote supporting Ukraine. And then
we hear these morons come out during the oscars and

(09:42):
everything else, and now everyone's just piggybacking on them. They're
just they're what's the what's the term there? It's there.
They're just they're regurgitating what the what they're hearing in
the news, and they don't even realize that, like you
pointed out, we're over there mining the mirror, the mineral.
It's our people, it's United States people that are there

(10:03):
on the ground in Ukraine. Russia's not gonna mess with that.
They don't want to deal with any what if they
end up killing one of the United States Oh no, no, no,
they It's just bizarre to me how something that simple
someone cannot Maybe it is they are grasping it. They
just choose not to. They choose not to. I'm not

(10:23):
gonna buy that. I'm just even though you go, you
don't have a choice to, you cannot buy it. But
that doesn't mean that it's not real or that it's
not happening.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
They are playing checkers. Trump is playing yes, yeah. And
for those I had somebody say, you know, well, he
just wants it because it's gonna benefit the United States.
He's just trying to get cheap resources from Ukraine. I'm sorry,
Ain't nothing cheap about the billions upon billions upon billions
of dollars that has been sent to Ukraine while American
service people come back here and can't find a job
or a place to liverm just.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Trying to recoup. By the way, we're trying to recoop
some of the money that we've given them. And now
I see the narrative, Well, tell me explain to me,
like I'm a fifth grader, show me we're all three
hundred and fifty billion. Show me where all of that.
It's just like, no, you know's the onus is on you.
You show me where it isn't because billions and billions
of would it make you feel better if it was

(11:15):
actually two hundred and seventy five billion, or if it
was two hundred billion, is that a lot different. Let's
say he is off by one hundred billion, it's two
hundred and fifty billion. It's a lot of billions that
we've given them, and let's start trying to figure out
with regard to all of the equipment that.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
We've given them. Hey, well to see, this is something else.
You people know what the media allows you to know.
And Donald Trump may have given you a figure based
on what he has seen. As president of the United States.
He has access to information that you don't, reports that
you don't, expenditures that you don't know about. We got
troops places you never even heard of before. We have

(11:52):
strategic abilities you couldn't conceive. That's what it's about when
you're president of the United States. So if he gave
you a wrong figure, maybe it's because it's the right figure,
but it's not the one you've been told.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
I do like what he said about tonight. We it's
going to be big. I will tell it like it is.
Some are speculating that he's going to start tonight and
say we have reached a deal with Ukraine. Some are
speculating that that's how he's going to start this. The
Democrats are, you know, supposed to be disruptive and all
of that. And I don't know, did you see where

(12:23):
Nancy Pelosi told what she's saying, She's she's advising the Dems.
She's like, let President Trump STU in his own juice
during his upcoming. What does that mean? Stu in his
own juice? This woman? What there's term limits? Do those
two words mean anything? It's unbelievable what she man. I'm

(12:44):
telling you somebody who watched her walk right by me,
I mean right by me and get on the elevator.
When I was standing on Capitol Hill, it was crazy
to me. I wanted to say, you feel better about
ripping that speech up? Do you doing something unprecedented? Yeah?
Payback's a bitch, as they say, and it's happening right now.

(13:05):
Remember when she stood up and ripped that upright, the
State of the Union.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
I'm notxious pig of a person.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I mean, come on, and now she's like just doing it.
I'm Jewish stewing is I'm jewsh That's what we need
to do today. Just shut up? Why are you still talking?
Why are you still talking? Chuck are you there.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Oh it's you, Chuck. Go ahead, you chuck. I'll be
me chucking. Just sit here and be quite. Let you
chuck talk Chuck.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Before we start, one thing I want to known. I
voted for Trump three times. Okay, so before everybody calls
me names. Now on the Ukraine, I want to point
out two things about who Trump is negotiating with in Russia,
which we never hear about. Number one four February article
for February this year, in a Russian publication, the Russian

(13:56):
Foreign minister called Trump and Maga nazi. I haven't heard
advanced quote talk about that, but he called them naziason.
In July of twenty twenty four, the former President and
Prime Minister of Russia, who is one of Pluton's top advisors, said,
even if Selensky and the Ukraine sign a cease fire,

(14:18):
the ultimate goal is the complete and total destruction of
the Ukraine. So if you were the president of the
Ukraine and you heard that, how would you approach things? Well,
and I'm wondering where the Trump side is on these
quotes from people I don't know anything.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
All Right, Well, Chuck, I can tell you is that really?
Are we learning new information here. I mean, is it
a surprise to you that somebody would say that that
was their goal, that that'd be why they invaded.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Correct, Well, they allow what you can get on the
invasion if.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
You read yes or no, is that why they invaded?
Because they want to complete and total it's not like
we heard that. Well, what that's what they're after when
they invaded.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Well, the thing that we hear is that while it's
because of NATO, they don't have nothing to do with it.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
No, they're not in NATO.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
No, Well, because oh Ukraine's gonna join NATO. Well, that
had nothing to do with Putin's words. He wants a
greater Russian that involves.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yes, he wants a reformed Soviet Union. That's what he's
always wanted. But hey, Chuck, hang on, hang on a second,
because I found it interesting everyone who criticized and says
we can't believe Donald Trump would trust Putin or would
listen to Putin or would work with Putin, And you
just called up and quoted two underlings of Putin and

(15:40):
want us to believe what they say is fact.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, the Foreign Minister is like, that's like Rubio, So yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
And Putin is still like Trump, Putin's still the head
of the snake. If our two heads of snakes have
have an agreement, I wouldn't care what Marco Rubio said
if Donald Trump told me this is what we're doing.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay, I'm just saying, nobody wants to talk about Russia.
They's always Lensky, Zolensky, Zlanski. But okay, thanks for listening.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah you got it, Chuck. Now, thank you for listening,
by the way, too. And I don't think the reason
I'm not talking about Putin is because I think it's
pretty clear what Putin's direction was and what his intent
was when he invaded, and anything that's being said now
is is doesn't even matter. It's like, I mean, it doesn't.
What he's been saying up till now is just propaganda.

(16:35):
And here's the thing with the minerals, that is the
guarantee ultimately for Ukraine. That's what we just pointed out
that people United States they're mining and it's you know,
our interests there. Russia will be honoring any cease fire
and backing down. They will be doing. They do not

(16:57):
want to deal with the United States in this. They
just don't want to. And I feel like that's something
that just the average person would be able to comprehend. So, Chuck,
I hear you on all the stuff that's being said
by coming out of Russia, but I gotta tell you, there,
are you really putting any lockstock and barrel in anything
that they're putting out there?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
And I'm sorry, he just he kind of gave up
there and said, I made my point and wanted to
hang up because I mean that this is a conversation.
I'm not I'm not yelling at you. I'm not either mean, yeah,
let's have that conversation. These people are down the wrung
from Vladimir Putin to this point, Putin has been represented
as as the ultimate power, the ultimate problem, Trump and Putin,

(17:37):
Putin and Trump, Trump has a look. If these two
guys are the ones going to battle on behalf of
their respective countries. The underlings don't matter how many underlings
in Congress are are bad mouthing.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
That's a fact. Yes, yes, exactly, if you were, if
you were a cross, if you're anywhere in the world.
Depending on what you're reading, it looks like nobody in
Congress is in a line with Trump, within alignment with JD.
Vance or Trump for that matter. But anyway, again, I
mean it, Chuck, thank you for calling and thank you
for voicing what you're feeling. That's that's exactly how this works.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Sports and the Mark Blazer Show on sixty ten WTV.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Well, I'm so excited that we're going to get to
the man of the hour. His name is Chief Meteorologist
Marshall McPeek. He's everybody's favorite.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
I hope he's taking notes. I hope he's taking notes
right now. Whatever he sees out the window right now.
It's exactly hard to stay forever, even in July. Yes,
this is fine for July. No, we don't need hot
and ridiculous. This is fine. This is beautiful, if wonderful.
I like the heat.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Marshalls to bring the heat, man, I like that. But
we'll take this, Weddy, Yeah take it.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
So here here's the thing. We're still going to be
warm again tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
But the catch is as it comes with thunderstorms, so
it's you know, there's always the other shoe is going
to drop.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
You know that.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Tonight fifty one the rain moves in, a wind advisory
goes into effect, and that's gonna be because wind gus
could get up to forty five miles per hour or more.
And then during the day on Wednesday, thirty five forty
mile per hour wind guss thunderstorms and a high around
fifty nine degrees. But that system moves out by Thursday
morning and drags in some much colder air, so the

(19:19):
leftover precipitation becomes some wintry mix. First thing in the day,
the high on Thursday, chuck, plug your ears for just such,
take your headphones off for just second.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Thirty eight, oh oh, forty four on Friday. Oh, but
then yeah, we start warming up. All right, thank you marshall.
It is sixty five, beautiful, glorious degrees. Hey, so tonight
it's a a joint session of Congress. Trump will do

(19:55):
a mini State of the Union, if you will, kind
of a thing. It's funny they did it. They being
Fox News this morning. I was watching and they did
a about the joint session, and then they go back
in time and they start talking about which you know
presidents did this, and you know some of them. It
was in the form of a memo, like you know, basically, uh, here, Congress,

(20:18):
this is what I've accomplished so far or whatever. I
think it's funny. That not funny, but it's right in
line with Trump, who's going, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna
do a meeting if you will, a joint session, and
we're we could be in for some fileworks tonight. They
they could be disruptive. Democrats could be disruptive tonight. Although

(20:42):
I think they're being told from different other members of
the Democrats saying, you know, it'll play right into his
hands if you do that tonight. Some are saying, don't
give him the I just don't think the majority, especially
some of these representatives in the in the UH, in
the House, they're not going to be able to help themselves.
They're going to be shouting and yelling. So they showed

(21:04):
a clip of Obama when he was doing it was
just the funniest thing because Pelosi's behind him and so
is Biden, and Obama's up there talking and he says
something and somebody's like liar, like I mean, so loud,
and you should have seen the look on Pelosi's face.
I mean it was like somebody slapped her, and that.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
That member of our I think he's a House of Representatives,
I'm not mistaken, was censured and taken to task where
he you lie or you lie? You lie when Obama
said that if you like your your doctor, you'll be
able to keep your doctor under this plan, and that
is that what he said, because he's talking about the
Obamacare play and the congressman, you lie, and you know, oddly,

(21:44):
yes he did. But still he was taken to task
for for saying that outline Pelosi standing up and tearing
up their copy of the.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Sea that's okay, sure, Oh yeah, oh Joe Wilson in
South Carolina, thank you, Zachech.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
But but you know, watching that, those are the kinds
of things that I really kind of forgot. I'd forgotten
about those things. So given that, I'm sure we're going
to get some fireworks tonight, at least I hope.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
We wonder if there's going to be a State of
the Union speech if this goes badly tonight. True, because
he's under no obligation to deliver a State of the Union.
If this goes badly tonight, he may not. He'll do
He'll do a State of the Union. He thinks, Oh,
come on, man, look at who we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
This guy never misses an opportunity to go in your
face look at what I'm doing in your face. You
know what, at the end of the day, they can
all flap their guns and go, you know you're lying.
This is happening. They know the truth, Chuck, because they
have all of the information that he has and that
the rest of the other side has. They know the truth.

(22:50):
They're just going to spin it in the media, so
the media runs with it. And by the way, most
of the media, most of them know the truth as well.
It's just they're going to see something that's spun and
they go, Okay, this is this is halfway believable. We
can get the gullible public to believe that. All right,
let's run with that. Let's run that up the flagpole.
That's where all of that will go. I feel like,

(23:11):
but no, I'd be shocked if he didn't do a
State of the Evening. Shocked shocked. He never is going
to miss an opportunity to go no faith, you know,
just watching him, it's fantastic. I yeah, I guess the
evil side of me hopes there's some some sparks tonight
because I just think it's fun to watch. I just

(23:34):
think it's fun right now. I guarantee every time he
does something sticking it to him. They're going, I didn't
mess with this guy behind closed doors. They're going, man,
we shouldn't have done this. Yeh. I'll tell you why
they did it. Because they thought in a million years,
this guy will never get elected president.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
You have to wonder how far he has to succeed
before some of them decide, you know, we better get
on board with this because we know what's true, and
we're creating conflict for no reason.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
They'll go down fighting. They'll never ever acquiesced.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
They won't.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
They just won't.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
It's the Mark Pleaser show, you know. In case you

(24:23):
didn't know, it's Tech Tuesday. It's also Taco Tuesday, isn't it?
Every Tuesday?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Is the any such thing as technical Tacos?

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Technical tech Taco Tuesday. It's tech Tuesday.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
I do know that.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
And it's always Taco Tuesday. Seems like every even on
Wednesdays for me sometime. Yeah, it's taco every day as
far as that goes. Anyway, Tech Tuesday and a smartphone
extravaganza is going on right now. Let's bring in ABC
News reporter Mike Dubuski joining us. Hey, Mike, good afternoon.
How are you brother.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
Good afternoon, guys. Happy Taco Tuesday and happy Tech Tuesda.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
I'm glad to see you participate in Taco Tuesday as well,
or at least yeah, oh yeah, it's downright wrong to
not participate in Taco Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
When the economy gets strong, Germ will have t Bone
Tuesdays at my house.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Oh boy, yeah, you know, t Bone Tuesdays.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Celebrate a little bit.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
He's getting what, Mike. We got to go to Chucks
for dinner. That's what we need.

Speaker 6 (25:18):
Yeah, that sounds good.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, let's shut it up.

Speaker 6 (25:20):
Let's just put it on the calendar.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
So smartphone Extravaganza, it's going on a far far away
from us, right about now.

Speaker 6 (25:28):
Right, Yeah, that's right in Barcelona, Spain. As a matter
of fact, we're talking about Mobile World Congress. This is
an annual tech event that takes place in Barcelona every
year and it's basically a combination of CEES, the Consumer
Electronics Show, and a new iPhone launch. So it's a
big tech conference, but it's specifically focused on mobile technology,

(25:50):
meaning smartphones and smart latches and laptops. In some cases,
it's a place for smartphone manufacturers to show off some
new devices and usually we get some wacky gadgets and
other flights of fancy as well. It's really a place
for these companies to throw a bunch of stuff at
the wall and see what sticks. And it's a global conference, guys,
so a lot of these phones aren't necessarily meant for

(26:12):
the US market. We see some different phones from different
phone companies that we don't get here, but even still
it is worth paying attention to, if only because global
trends do become local ones. What's popular in France or
Japan or Australia in the smartphone world may end up
coming to a smartphone US in the coming years.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
So why does and I was reading here, why does
Apple skip this? I mean, is there any particular reason.
It looks like it's something they skip basically every year.
But is it just not big enough or what's the.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
Apple never shows up to any of these trade shows.
They are a multi trillion dollar company and they behave
that way right. They don't want to share a headline,
They don't want to share floor space with Samsung or
Google or any of those people. They like to own
the whole widget, the tip to tail event. So that's
why you see them do live streams and things like that,

(27:05):
and you know, really try and control the entire experience
from a media perspective and from a you know, everyday
person perspective, just so that they can keep that sort
of brand all very cohesive. We did see a little
bit of news that Apple this morning. They announced some
new iPads and iPad Air among them, with some refreshed internals.
Nothing radically different, but a nice spec bump if you're

(27:27):
in the market for a new tablet computer. Yesterday we
saw the CEO of Apple Can Cook tweet a short
video with the words there's something in the air, which
seems to imply that this whole week is going to
be app about Apple's Air products, either the iPad Air
which we saw earlier today, and possibly a MacBook Air
is coming later this week. This is the entry level

(27:48):
Apple laptop. We're expecting a small specump for that computer
as well, which will be good for the legions of
college students who tend to like that computer and many
other people as well.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Pretty popularly.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, the we have a couple of books in the UH.
I got a pro myself that I use for because
I do some side like mobile dj and stuff and
man the integration's unbelievable with that particular unit. And but
interesting that they're doing the air, which is you're right,
that's a that's a fantastic model for a lot of
college students, and you know people maybe who you know

(28:20):
don't need as much of the bells and whistles and
all that stuff. But so with the smartphones and like
what type of you know, what type of features, like
what types of things? Can you talk about any of
that that they're doing.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
Yeah, a whole flewid different things, guys, and we can
talk about whatever you want. There's color changing phones and
transparent phones and phones that double as bluetooth speakers, and
you know, solar powered things and all kinds of different things.
But the big theme I think is artificial intelligence. No
surprise there. A whole tech world has been about AI
for a long time at this point. And we're seeing

(28:55):
this interesting new phone from the parent company of T Mobile.
They're calling it the Phone without Apps. This is a
phone that is primarily designed to run off of voice controls,
so you can tell it, apparently to book a flight
for you or do some online shopping for you, and
it will supposedly be able to figure out what you

(29:15):
want using what they're calling Magenta AI, which is a
combination of a bunch of different existing AI models from
Google and perplexity in other companies. They have not said
anything about the hardware yet. This is purely a software
announcement from the parent company of T Mobile. They do
say they plan to put something into production in the
second half of this year. But as we talk about

(29:36):
whenever we talk about artificial intelligence, we have to say
that it's still an unreliable technology. It still hallucinates, it
still makes stuff up, and that's a risk if you're
going to rely on it to book a flight for you,
for example.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Okay, so this is going on. It's like just the
next couple of days is when this is happening.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
Yeah, I believe it's all week, you know. I kind
of is, you know, interspersed over a couple of different events.
But it's been going on, you know, for the last
few days, and I believe it's going on, if not
through the end of the week, through the close.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
To the end of the week.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
All right, very good. Mike Dubusky, ABC News, and it's
Tech Tuesday, the smartphone extravaganza going on in Spain. Mike
thank you very much, of course, think care all right,
We'll see you. Yeah, I don't. I don't know if
I was. I was actually during this, I was like going, oh,
while you're there, could you go to the Running of
the Bulls?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
You know, you hear stuff?

Speaker 2 (30:29):
But it's in Pamplona where that happens, not in Barcelona.
Then I'm going, all right, how close is Barcelona to Pamplona.
And it was like, it doesn't want to give me
any kind of it doesn't going to give me any
information on that.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Just a couple of owners down the road.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
It's not far a couple owners.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
I was curious when he said that some of this
technology is not destined for the US. I wanted to
know why, you know, is it because it's too good
for us? Is it below what we already have? I'm
just the US is is just carnivorous when it comes
to technology, and it seems strange to me that anything
is being introduced or entertained in Spain that would not

(31:07):
be made available to a US consumer.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
I've I one hundred percent agree with you, and why
would some of this the the only thing? Are we
already kind of ahead of you know? This particular thing.
I mean, are we a larger market consumer wise than

(31:30):
for instance, Spain? Would would you say the United States
is a larger consumer I would say we are. Yeah,
I would say we are. So maybe it's stuff that
they're saying it's not going to be available because it's
more geared for a lower lower a less amount of
people that would want to buy it, like it would
be over here, and it would be like, that's inferior

(31:53):
to what's I'm already liking here. It's too specialized. I
don't know. Again, I'm just guessing it's the only I know,
because why would a company avoid the US knowing that we,
like you said, we're carnivorous here in the US for
all kinds of technology, so, and they'd be passing up

(32:14):
a chance to sell more of fill in the blank.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
I hope it's just inferior stuff we already have. I
hope that's the reason. So people in you know, Spain
might eat it up, but we already have that and
it wouldn't interest us.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, maybe possibly. You know, I asked you about this
off the air yesterday, and I think it was toward
the end of the show, but we weren't on air,
and I said, you heard of the measle parties? Yes,
and you were like, yeah, those were in like what
the sixties, sixties.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Yeah, it was a pretty common practice.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
And behind that, it was the thinking behind that was
let's just get our let's get REVVD up, Let's get
our our immune systems revved up.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
So let's have these parties where our kids are basically
catching it because we're trying to get You know, when
I hear something like that, it makes me go, that's crazy.
I wasn't a part of any of that. But does
that sound crazy to you?

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Well, no, not for the time, because I mean, you know,
measles were just you gotta ration. You itched for a
few days, and it was over this. You know, measles
can kill you. Thing that we're hearing about now. I
don't think that was in the mind of the American
mommy back then. So you know, Larry Mondelo gets the measles,
you send Beaver and Wally over to catch them so
they can get it over with you.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
What's ramped up now where it can kill people?

Speaker 3 (33:35):
I don't know. That's yeah, everything's worse now than how
Look how when did COVID's and stars has come along,
and marijuana is all so much more powerful than it was,
and everything evolves, and there's no reason to think that,
you know, measles and mumps and all that stuff wouldn't
evolve as well.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, we hear, or at least I think you've heard
what's going on in Texas last I heard one.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Hundred and forty six cases. I don't know how many today.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
And I did you see like one maybe had passed.
I don't know if zach attack usually is on top
of all that stuff, but I thought I saw at
least one had passed from this. Again, you wonder if
that's somebody who had an underlying type condition maybe because
typically you don't, you don't pass away from it, right,

(34:24):
I mean it's I mean, even if it's stronger than it.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Used to be. Yeah, it's it's not a killer, automatically killed,
but it has been known to kill. Yes, Yeah, I
don't know condition or not. Yeah, it's just it was eliminated.
We didn't have it in the US anymore. Two thousand
they considered measles to be eradicated. And here we go again.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, gee, I wonder where those came from.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Exactly where it came from.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
In the state of Texas too. You might be going,
you know there's a border there, yeah, and uh, but
then you know, did you see where now AHHS director
is going, he's all for the immunization with regard to this.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
I just don't.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
I get so when I see these stories come up
and then they start, it's just like everybody has an angle.
Now it's so tough. You look at all the information
and you try to process it and you try to
apply some common sense and go, Okay, what gives here?
What exactly happened? But there's a Texas Tech Health Science Center,

(35:35):
there's a director there, chief health officer, and they go
on to talk about Look, these parties are a horrible idea.
They can't predict who's going to do poorly with measles,
be hospitalized, potentially get pneumonia. So I guess it can
kind of bloom into pneumonia and then pass away from it.
And as we know, pneumonia can be really bad, especially

(35:55):
if somebody is already working with a weaker immune system
or again something underlying. But this is this is kind
of kind of scary, right because it's extremely contagious. But
I think it's in the one forties. Is that what
you were saying?

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Roughly six is the last number I heard of cases?

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, did you happen to when you saw the one
death Zach attack? Did they give was it that same
kind of number in that what you were looking at?
Sorry to keep putting you on blast like this, but
all right, okay, yeah, so we're in the Yeah, but
I guess it's not spreading like it because you've seen
that from a couple of days ago, and I kept thinking,

(36:33):
I keep waiting on it's over two hundred now, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Yeah, So yeah, hopefully the reasons to be a lot
of precautions. You know, when you start seeing the cases
come up, especially in a specific area like that, you know,
hopefully the parents started to say, okay, see, that's that's
where the whole COVID thing makes sense. When you see
that kind of thing happening out of nowhere in a
concentrated area. Yeah, go ahead and put the mask on

(36:56):
your case over school, do whatever until you get there.
Not to you if you don't already have them right right.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
And the Mark Blazer Show on six ten WTVN, Brother Kane,
you got no shame trying.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
To find my beach cow hang on Gonny sun block,
I can.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Borrow Chief minior relogists Marshall McPeek joining us and Marshall
would I don't know today's why did am I seeing this?
Are you seeing around sixty seven?

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Okay, just making sure I'm seeing this correctly. Yeah, it's
it's a little warm outside. Wow, I mean I have
sixty one here? Do you really what is going on here?

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Then we're just down the street right next to a
little broadcast lake. They're only getting some lake effect cold
over there.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Maybe somebody's breathing on the sensor. I just gonna say,
because I'm like, wait a minute, We're not off by
six degrees. It's just up the street.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
Speaking of sensors. Did they fix Newark yet?

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yes, So they were doing construction out there for.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
The last two or three mornings. It's been fifty one
degrees in Newark. Everything else was like twenty six. New
York was fifty one.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Oh warm, I thought you meant because their censor was
down for almost a year.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
Oh my gosh, because they were doing construction at the airport,
and so they had to actually pick pick the whole
thing up and move it and rewire it and get
it all put back together. So we were missing Newark
data for a long time while they were while they
were doing.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Construction at the airport. But it's up and running again.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah, this is this like the last couple of days.
I didn't get to watch this morning, but good day Columbus.
They got the graphic down the side with the surrounding
doors in Newark State at fifty one, a whole blasted
two day period.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
I was watching Chuck sat well, he's looking at relocating
because he's like, man, it's always warmed in Newark. I'm
moving a Chucks. Did you wonder why people are contacting you? Going, Yeah,
I'd like to look at some property in Newark, tucks
the realtor, so I could see where they would be.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Doing that, you know, so it's always in Philadelphia.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
Jim Gannall did the research and found that one of
the coolest and snowiest spots in the Columbus metro area
is New Albany and over into Potascla. And years ago,
that is one of the main reasons he moved to
that part of town.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Oh, just so he makes sure he experienced that front
row seat.

Speaker 5 (39:21):
Because he wanted some snow and some cooler weather, and
so that's why he moved to that part of the
part of the city. So he did the research to
find out rain and mild Tonight. The rain will be
moving in nine ten o'clock tonight continuing overnight. The wind
advisory will go into effect because we could see wind
gusts overnight tonight of upwards of forty to even fifty

(39:43):
miles per hour, So it might keep you up as
the wind rattles the shutters. Tonight Tomorrow fifty nine degrees.
It'll be another gusty day with showers and thunderstorms. And
on Thursday, it's Chuck's favorite day because it'll thirty eight
with some wintry mix.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Thank you Marshall.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
It is.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
I don't know our temperature says sixty seven, whether somebody's
breathing on it or not. Were you just out there, Zach,
You were just out You ran outside, didn't you. Does
it feel like it's that warm, like getting like approaching seventy. Yeah,
it feels pretty decent. Okay, Yeah, I didn't think seventy,

(40:26):
but you could feel sixties. Yeah, yeah, I just felt
like it was you didn't go downstairs. No, during the
last break. Okay, the world's biggest call center company, Teleperformance SE,
the largest call center operator on the planet, has come
up with a way to mask.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
That they got a place right here.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Look if they still do or not, I'm gonna say this,
and you know it is not racist, but how many
times have you called a company and you talk to
somebody who has a very thick Indian accent and.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
Having problems with your computer?

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yeah, that was actually understandable. I've had it to where
I'm like, beg your pardon, I mean every single sentence,
And look, they have to if the company wants to
use whatever, great, fine, it's fine. You spend a lot
of time going I'm sorry, beg your pardon. Can you repeat?
I didn't understand. And also the other part is if

(41:27):
you're trying to convey something that's very, very particular a
set of circumstances that you are suffering from with regard
to said product, sometimes they don't understand it as well.
So this is kind of a one way thing. But this,
this company is using AI to neutralize accents, and I

(41:48):
feel like this is not necessarily a bad thing. And
again I'm not taking a shot or trying to be racist,
but it is tough to understand sometimes when I've called
Direct TV or what I've called AT and T. That's
why I every time I think to myself, I got
to contact them, I'm like, oh, man, I do everything

(42:09):
in my power to avoid it. And maybe that's part
of their their plan too. Yeah, it might be part
of their plan.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
I had the AT and T especially, and I've called
them a few times. Not even my account. It's not
my I keep getting bills for this guy, but his
See he's got a Chuck Douglas email address. It's not
even his name's like Andrew mcgillcutty or something. I don't
know why that email address is associated with this guy
is beyond me. And I have tried to tell them

(42:36):
and it's yeah, they don't understand what I'm saying. They
keep telling we can change your address to get your
correct but I know I don't have a bill. I
don't need a bill from you. I'm telling you, this
guy isn't getting his bills because you're sending them to me.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
I don't believe there is a Miguilla Cutty or whomever
you're speaking there are, just they're throwing it against the
wall and see what sticks. And they're using that as
a front to try to get you on there because
you notice they said, well we can, we can change
it to your you know, but your name. I mean,
thank god you didn't at least fall for that. But

(43:11):
you're too smart.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
I get upset when they also when they lie to
me about you know, they think I'm going to not
notice the accident. I would be happy to help you.
My name is Ronald Johnson. No it's not. Yeah, no,
it's not just insulting some that's not your name. Tell
me your name is Roguess or whatever it is. If
I can pronounce it, great, I'll say thanks, roguesh help me.

(43:33):
If I can't, I'll just say okay and move on.
But don't don't act like I'm an idiot and tell
me your name is something it's obviously not.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
This is also something interesting this company is doing. It's
an AI startup, as they're calling. It provides a background
noise removal feature and it further mask any sort of
ambient noise which emanates from the call center of the background.
How many times have you heard people in the back,
like in the background and you're like or at home

(44:01):
they're like you hear like a toilet flies for chickens clucking, Yeah,
kids crying in the background because people are taking calls
from home. Okay, fine, I think this is great that
they've done that to neutralize the accent and then also
the background noise removal features.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
We'll see how the AI does though, because I mean
I'll get into chats. You know how sometimes you can
chat with us and I can tell that ain't a
human being. It tries to tell me, you know, Brenda
has just signed in, and you can tell this is
a computer. It's not a real person talking to you.
So I hope their AI is more convincing this time around. Well,
if you have.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Something very basic that you need, then talking to a
computer or whatever is fine as far as I'm concerned.
That way you get through it, boom.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
You hang up.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
But if you've got something even a little bit intricate,
something that's not just run of the mill, it's impossible.
And then it takes you a million years just to
get a human on the phone, and then you get
a human that you can't understand on top of it,
So now you're extra frustrated it's taken you that long
to get through Ah anyway. We'll see if this becomes

(45:11):
the larger part of this whole problem that seems to
exist
