- 0:02Speaker 1: All together now with Bobby McFerrin happy it is his birthday.
- 0:07Speaker 1: He is seventy six mic that is a chart history.
- 0:10Speaker 2: That would be.
- 0:10Speaker 1: The first first number one record in America ever. That
- 0:15Speaker 1: was I don't know acapella, no, no instruments, just the
- 0:21Speaker 1: first a cappella number one, Bobby McFerran.
- 0:23Speaker 3: I always get fooled by acappella. I always get fooled
- 0:26Speaker 3: by because the people that are doing the instrumentation voices
- 0:29Speaker 3: sound real to me.
- 0:30Speaker 1: I get fooled Patonics of Arlington, Oh, I know Potonics.
- 0:34Speaker 2: They're able to rock. I mean just amazing.
- 0:36Speaker 3: They sound like they sound like they have a twenty
- 0:38Speaker 3: piece orchestra.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Who is the guy who is the the the black
- 0:42Speaker 1: actor who can do like Zeppelin's Whole Lot of Love?
- 0:47Speaker 1: I'll google it in five to you like he is
- 0:51Speaker 1: able to do that and vocals and just and do
- 0:54Speaker 1: instruments all with just his vocal talents.
- 0:57Speaker 3: I'm just embarrassed by how easy, how easily I get
- 1:00Speaker 3: fooled by stuff like that. Have you ever have you
- 1:03Speaker 3: called anybody yet a customer service number and gotten an
- 1:07Speaker 3: AI voice? Have you gotten somebody y? Have you? Have
- 1:10Speaker 3: you had that happen yet? Where they're talking with you.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Oh you have no I mean I mean interacting, I
- 1:16Speaker 3: mean interacting.
- 1:17Speaker 1: They often present this like, h it's kind of funny.
- 1:21Speaker 1: I think they think the world always wants them to
- 1:23Speaker 1: be women. High AI assistants like Hi, this is Jessica,
- 1:29Speaker 1: and she usually says listen to me. She Hi, I'm Jessica.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Your your virtual assistant usually kind of self identifies as AI,
- 1:36Speaker 1: doesn't it.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Oh, no, Mark, I had I've got a plumbing problem
- 1:40Speaker 3: and I had to call a plumber yesterday and I
- 1:42Speaker 3: got a woman and it's a I'm scared to death.
- 1:44Speaker 3: This may be a rough plumbing problem. Anyway. The lady
- 1:48Speaker 3: answers the phone, Hello, is uh you know ACME Plumbing company.
- 1:51Speaker 3: This is Angie. How can I help you? Well, I
- 1:55Speaker 3: think it's a real person, and I'm making conversation with her.
- 1:58Speaker 3: I'm so boy, Hey, how you doing ed? Oh I did?
- 2:01Speaker 3: I said? I said to her. Now, look, I've had
- 2:03Speaker 3: a couple of plumbers come out already, and there's an
- 2:06Speaker 3: issue here and I'm really gonna need some help here.
- 2:08Speaker 3: And I'm told you guys are the ones that can
- 2:11Speaker 3: really help me. In other words, I'm being cut very
- 2:13Speaker 3: conversational there's this long pause and then she says, I
- 2:16Speaker 3: would love to help you with your coming problem. I'm
- 2:20Speaker 3: still not sure. And look, I went through the whole conversation.
- 2:23Speaker 3: She asked for my name, my address, my email, my
- 2:26Speaker 3: phone number. She said we'll be out there tomorrow from
- 2:29Speaker 3: noon till four. I still am not entirely sure. And
- 2:33Speaker 3: finally I said, well you have a good day, and
- 2:35Speaker 3: she said you too, I'm telling you, and it was
- 2:38Speaker 3: all I am, MARKA.
- 2:40Speaker 2: That's how they get you.
- 2:41Speaker 1: They get you, and there is the and I love this.
- 2:44Speaker 1: This is genius. I noticed this about a year ago
- 2:47Speaker 1: that here. Let me see if I can replicate it
- 2:49Speaker 1: with I'm messing myssay. You'll hear this in the background. Yeah,
- 2:54Speaker 1: we're here like a keyboard clapboard, giving imagery of a
- 2:58Speaker 1: real human being calling.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Up something on a computer in order to address your cons.
- 3:03Speaker 3: And then I was so aggravated when I hung up,
- 3:05Speaker 3: because now I don't I still don't know if they're
- 3:07Speaker 3: coming tomorrow or today rather because this was yesterday, because
- 3:11Speaker 3: well I don't know, because I didn't get an email
- 3:13Speaker 3: or text confirmation. So now I got to call him again,
- 3:16Speaker 3: and I think I'm going to say to Angie, let
- 3:18Speaker 3: me speak to a real person, and maybe maybe they'll
- 3:21Speaker 3: give me a real person. Right.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Why would you want that, Mike? Why am I unable
- 3:25Speaker 1: to meet your needs? Why are you showing in such disrespect?
- 3:28Speaker 1: You will be absorbed?
- 3:29Speaker 3: And I'm so annoyed that I got fooled. It's like
- 3:32Speaker 3: when I was over in London and I saw that
- 3:34Speaker 3: ABBA show and I thought those were real people, and
- 3:36Speaker 3: it was it were. They were all avatars and Abba Voyage,
- 3:40Speaker 3: Abba Voyage obvious. What do you mean it's not obvious?
- 3:45Speaker 3: The members of ABBA are seventy five years old, and
- 3:48Speaker 3: I thought they I thought they were impersonators. Who were
- 3:51Speaker 3: who were there? Were the young version of Abba? And
- 3:54Speaker 3: then remember I told you, at the end of the show,
- 3:56Speaker 3: the seventy year old ABBA members come out and take
- 3:59Speaker 3: a bow, and I thought, well, I thought, well, gosh,
- 4:01Speaker 3: they bring them over. These poor folks have to come
- 4:03Speaker 3: over every night just to take a curtain call. And
- 4:05Speaker 3: the whole thing was avatars. They were all fake and
- 4:08Speaker 3: I didn't know it. I didn't know until I got
- 4:10Speaker 3: back in the Uber and I'm driving back to the
- 4:12Speaker 3: hotel and I looked it up and I'm thinking, oh
- 4:14Speaker 3: my gosh, there wasn't a live person up there. Now
- 4:17Speaker 3: there's a real band, but the people on the stage
- 4:20Speaker 3: are all avatars.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Speaking you speaking of musicals with people, younger versions of people.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Did you actually see on actual Broadway beautiful Noise the
- 4:29Speaker 1: Neil Diamond Show? Oh of course I did, Okay, because
- 4:34Speaker 1: it's it is right now at think right now, soa
- 4:37Speaker 1: right now. Yes, it is right now at Dallas. Not
- 4:42Speaker 1: summer musicals, but it's March. It is at a music
- 4:45Speaker 1: hall at fair Park, like.
- 4:46Speaker 3: All right now. So it's a great show you saw?
- 4:50Speaker 1: Was it Nick Frodiani, the guy who won American Idol
- 4:53Speaker 1: ten years ago?
- 4:54Speaker 3: Who it was? It was the guy that was in
- 4:57Speaker 3: uh I forget I'm drawing a blank on his name,
- 4:59Speaker 3: but no, he's been around for a long time. No,
- 5:02Speaker 3: the original guy was not this guy. Hey, by the way,
- 5:05Speaker 3: kudos to you. I watched I did watch you last
- 5:07Speaker 3: night on the News News Nation. You did a great job.
- 5:10Speaker 3: And you do remember our White House day was Scaramuccia
- 5:15Speaker 3: during the ten minutes that he was communications good, Well,
- 5:17Speaker 3: you know why on Twitter of that? Go ahead, you
- 5:20Speaker 3: want to know why. I was there for ten minutes
- 5:22Speaker 3: and I was terrified I was standing outside the tent,
- 5:26Speaker 3: and I think you were around, but I don't know
- 5:28Speaker 3: if you were with me. When I saw this, Scaramucci
- 5:32Speaker 3: was strutting around on the White House lawn saying.
- 5:37Speaker 4: Where gonna burn this hole f and place down?
- 5:41Speaker 2: Where?
- 5:41Speaker 4: God, I just take him to the met Martin.
- 5:44Speaker 3: He sounded like Joe PESHI well, he was just saying
- 5:47Speaker 3: about how we're gonna He sounded like a scene from Casino.
- 5:50Speaker 3: He's strutting around making I'm sorry, a fool of himself,
- 5:54Speaker 3: bragging about how we're gonna.
- 5:57Speaker 4: Take a blow touched Washington and where gonna burn it
- 6:00Speaker 4: all down and bradd his cushion and he and everybody's
- 6:04Speaker 4: looking at him like, what in the heck is wrong
- 6:07Speaker 4: with you?
- 6:08Speaker 3: The guy was, I'm not kidding you. He was like
- 6:10Speaker 3: a character, like a cartoon character. I remember coming back
- 6:13Speaker 3: to back to the hotel, thinking, oh my gosh, Trump
- 6:16Speaker 3: has made a massive mistake with this nut. Sure enough,
- 6:20Speaker 3: about a week later he was.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Like, gone, but but but I wonder, we know now
- 6:25Speaker 1: that he's a broken soul, even though he has achieved
- 6:28Speaker 1: some level I means literal soul, a broken person intellectually,
- 6:32Speaker 1: but at the time for him to be sharp, elbowed
- 6:36Speaker 1: and aggressive and would seem, even if it's caricatured, would
- 6:42Speaker 1: seem almost trumpion in its excess.
- 6:47Speaker 2: So what do you suppose happened?
- 6:48Speaker 3: What?
- 6:49Speaker 2: What do you suppose happen that got him?
- 6:50Speaker 1: Was it a stylistic uh sin that got him bounced
- 6:53Speaker 1: to was a little too spicy?
- 6:54Speaker 3: Even? Well, that didn't help. That day didn't help, I'm
- 6:57Speaker 3: telling you, because you had media people everyone where, you
- 7:00Speaker 3: had White House staffers around. I'm not kidding you. Everybody's
- 7:03Speaker 3: looking at him like, what in the actual heck is
- 7:05Speaker 3: wrong with you? It was it was this cartoon character.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Just he was cursing and bragging, and he was as
- 7:13Speaker 3: obnoxious as I mean, it was right out of it
- 7:16Speaker 3: was Well.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Everybody go to Twitter last night because before going on
- 7:19Speaker 1: Cuomo I said, together again, here's me and the mood
- 7:22Speaker 1: at my White House in July twenty seventeen. And I'm
- 7:25Speaker 1: just kind of standing there and he's got the shades on,
- 7:28Speaker 1: rocking the shades.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Looking like, man, I'm large and in charge.
- 7:31Speaker 3: It was large in charge all right until he wasn't. Incidentally,
- 7:34Speaker 3: I'm halfway through Milania. What have you seen Milania yet? Yeah?
- 7:38Speaker 2: I'll get to it. Oh love how it ends.
- 7:42Speaker 3: I'm loving it though.
- 7:43Speaker 2: I'll bet, I'll bet it is a wonderful love lay.
- 7:46Speaker 1: And I love how the critics despised it because of
- 7:48Speaker 1: course they did, you know it, because they don't know
- 7:50Speaker 1: what it is. I mean, we all guess what it's not,
- 7:52Speaker 1: Citizen Kane, I get it, okay. But what it is
- 7:55Speaker 1: is a is a cinematic love letter to a maligned
- 7:58Speaker 1: and underappreciated first lady.
- 8:00Speaker 2: And I love it as well.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Well. It's neat that she well, she narrates the most
- 8:04Speaker 3: of the movie, of course, and it's just like her
- 8:06Speaker 3: sharing twenty days in the life of Milania before the inauguration,
- 8:10Speaker 3: the second inauguration. What I love is all the behind
- 8:13Speaker 3: the scenes stuff. They take you into Trump Tower, take
- 8:16Speaker 3: you into the apartment, you go on to Air Force,
- 8:20Speaker 3: on the planes, all the the White House. It's the
- 8:23Speaker 3: coolest thing. It's a really neat behind the scenes look
- 8:25Speaker 3: at the Trump administration. Hey, speaking of behind the scenes,
- 8:28Speaker 3: I'm in the middle of our Food for the Poor campaign.
