Speaker 1 (00:09):
Jone jet Q ando four point three eagles before that
six h eight. Good morning, It's gonna be a hot
one today. As a matter of fact, there was a
record set back in nineteen forty one on this date
of eighty seven degrees, and we're expected to beat that
today with an eighty eight degree high predicted, along with
an afternoon thunderstorm and then a heavy thunderstorm is likely

(00:32):
this evening low sixty seven. Tomorrow very warm again, high
eighty six and right now at six oh nine, and
remember the sun has yet to rise. It's sixty nine
here at Q one O four point three. Trevor was
off yesterday, so he missed our conversation that we had
about what I learned on the elevator about the robots,

(00:53):
and I wanted to tell I wanted to tell Trevor
because this was this one, This one was pretty interesting,
pretty weird. Study has found that those people who hold
on to a hyperventilating robot while watching.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
The shining, yes those exist.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Have their heart rates spike considerably higher than those people
who watch the shining while holding a calm robot.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I mean a visual of this hyperventilating robot.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Are you glad?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
They spent money on this study.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Who wasted their money better my text dollar.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
I was gonna say, there's some doctor that walked up
to someone like, all right, this is what I want
to study. I want to try to solve this crisis
for the world so we have no more sickness. Oh
of course that sounds great. Oh wait, wait, wait, what
if we held a robot that was hyperbelly and watched
the shining?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Here's ten billion dollars, right, nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
What happens when you're holding the hyper hyperventilating robot and
watching the shining? Your heartbreak?

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Increased years of research, years of research and time and
tests and trials, and but no animals were harmed, just robots.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
This is the stupidest thing.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Don't you regret not going to graduate school?

Speaker 3 (02:15):
I regret not thinking about regret.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I'm going to get through the rest.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Of this day.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I just, I mean when I has a doctorate and
when I saw that yesterday, I just I couldn't believe it.
I came over and was this strange news I missed?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
This was you know what evator elevator news.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Justin it was it was one of the stories on
the screen on the elevator.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Why was the the robot already hyper ventilating.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Well, because they had they had hyperventilating robot, and then
they had a calm robot.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
So what sounds like the hyperventilating robot needed a doctor.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
We already know that like pets, like animals can calm
your you know, lower your stress. So it's no shocker
that a calming robot would.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
So are you really justifying this?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I'm just saying this study is pointless because we already
know this if you have something calming.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
That was That was the point that I was trying
to make. Because they did this study. I certainly have
no academic credentials whatsoever. But had somebody said to me,
if you're holding a hyperventilating robot while you're watching the shining,
will your heart rate go up? I would have said, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Now the opposite was found to be true, that wouldn't
be like that.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Would be different.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
See during the Shining, I just held a pillow.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
So I was so scared. Here's Johnny, what do you hold?
Who do you hold during scary movies? Jim, do you
just hold your chill hennessy pillow and say protect me.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's twelve minutes after here at Q four point three.
This is Alex Shulman.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Were you injured at a construction site? New Yorkers in
every borough and on every block, knows by name Shulman
and
