  Speaker 1: Nice Tony Kats The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: name is Greg Collins filling in. That was fun as
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: far as an intro goes grease. But all right, let's
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: do this. The popcorn moment brought to you by Boer
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Remodeling Company. Yes, the popcorn moment for me is actually
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: somewhat old. It's from a couple days ago, but it's
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: relevant to what happened yesterday.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Baby.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: So Alena Habba popped up on Fox I think Jesse
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Waters Show on the twenty third saying I'm not going anywhere.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not cowering from a fight. Alena Hobba was removed
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: by Woke Attorneys in New Jersey as the interim Attorney
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey for the US Attorney's Office there, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: then she was installed by the Trump administration as the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: acting US Attorney in Jersey, which was just it is
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: ah Chef's kiss amazing. But here's what Hobba said a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: couple days ago when this first started to happen. Oh wait,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: hold on, you actually have to be able to hear it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So let me hit this button and then let's do this.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: This public sphere for the last four years knows I'm
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: not a coward to a fight. So I have obviously
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: been doing my job. I do my job irrespective of
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: who you are, what you are, what your politics are.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: That's what I said when I swore on my oath
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: in that oval office in the picture you just showed.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: So I'll continue to do so.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to keep doing that. I'm going to keep
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: doing that job. So it's a little complicated. What happened. Essentially,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a group of judges I decided that Haba wasn't allowed
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to continue acting as the interim attorney in Jersey, so
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: they fired her, and then they installed somebody else. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: then Pam Bondi said, you know what, this is funny,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I actually have oversight over this.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I'm going to remove the.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Candidate that you've picked, and they're now not definitely the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: attorney in New Jersey. And then Trump said, well, now
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that there's no buddy work in that, I get to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: put somebody in there. And I'm going to put oh,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: look at this, Alina Haba into this role.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: It was awesome and it's probably.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: A move that everybody knew they could orchestrate the moment
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that they start to talking about it. And so I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just found it uniquely hilarious that it went that road,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and it took a couple of days, and now she's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in the same position without having the interim title hanging
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: over anymore.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: So just amazing, amazing things.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I will say this, though, I contemplated a very different
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: popcorn moment, and I can bring in Matt and Carl
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to talk about this one too. There is a meme
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: stock thing going around right now. Meme stock Rally is
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: what I should call it, based on Sidney Sweeney. So
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney is the new model for American Eagle, which
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: is a brand of clothing that hasn't been doing well
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for a while, mostly because it's very closely tied to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: mals and not a lot of people go to those anymore.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: But Sidney Sweeney has single handedly helped the stock at
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: least rally in the short term because of the Internet's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: obsession with Sidney Sweeney. I love the amount of people
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: who are asking the question like would this work? And here's
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: what they did, And this is why it's not really
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a popcorn moment for radio because there's no audio. Put
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Sydney Sweeney in a pair of jeans. They put her
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: in front of a very fancy car. They had her
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: close the hood to the car like she knew how
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to work on it, and then get into it and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: drive away.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: That's the entirety of the commercial.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: She doesn't even speak, and the stock for American Eagle
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: immediately skyrocketed. Oh they do zoom in on her butt,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: by the way, that also is a compoundent.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, she's dressed like a mechanic, right,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: she has to cover alls on, folded clothed. You can't
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: see any of her skin anywhere. I mean, she's teaching
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: people how to work on a car.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well but the jeans are tight.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, trying to portray her as a mechanic.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you see the shape of the of the butt.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: This this single handedly has let this stock rebound. And
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I loved that a lot of people were asking the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: question right after it happened, like will this work?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Was my answer to this, Matt, what do you
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: go out of this?
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, it'll work. I'll go buy American Eagle.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Now, I'll go buy women's jeans from America. Listen, I
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: can sit here and tell you all I wanted. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: know I've said it before about Instagram, and the filters,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: and you know, there's too much of fake.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I say that, but I still
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: buy into it all the time.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a human being, I'm a man, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I like women, So yeah, that'll catch my attention.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Whether or not.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: At last, it still kind of gives me. It's the
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: same time this icky Amber Crombie feel. You know, I
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: remember the Ambercrombie and Fish scandal when they were doing
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: what they were doing to the models and everything else.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: It turns out the whole workforce culture was pretty awful.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Whether you're male, female, or whatever, however you identified sexually,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: it was pretty awful. So it kind of gives me
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: that vibe because American Eagle is kind of an Amber
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Crombie store, Like you said, it was a mall store.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: So I still kind of put all that the same time.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: So I hope American Eagle actually gets something out of this,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: and I hope everybody's being treated well, that's all I can.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope that American Eagle also has like long
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: term success, because I do think that this might be
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: short lived, the whole Sydney cleaning thing, you know, because
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: we do pay attention and then we lose interest if
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: there's not more of videos of this young woman you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: looking good in this clothing. Although they can put out
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: a bunch of them, I'm sure Sidney Sweeney can take
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a bunch of different.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Other photos and videos that will work out just fine.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: How to continue to rally the troops via the meme
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: stocks that are out there in society?
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Well, what does she do after work on the car?
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Sidney sweene fixes a car? Sidney Sweeney is I'm glogging
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: the toilet?
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Look at that?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah again in tight jeans. Yes, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: think it goes.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Actually, I gotta be honest, man, the plumber move would
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: be the smartest move because no time, yeah, no time
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: is it ever fun.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: To see plumbers crack? But if it were Sidney.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Sweeney, I think that a lot of society would be
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: much more okay with this idea. And yeah, yeah, the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: people who it actually is are terrible as far as anyway,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I'm so mean to plumbers right now. I apologize to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: all you guys out there. You don't look like Sidney Sweeney.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Twenty four percent of people are you? Twenty four percent
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of people are using AI to fact check their doctors.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Are we worried about this?
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, okay, fantastic worried about good? I mean, I mean
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: I have a good doctor. I have a good family doctor,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and I've seen her for fifteen years. I trust her effectively.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, a doctor to me is still something you
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: should have a personal relationship with.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Well, I know everybody's using AI.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: But me, I feel like I'm the only guy in
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: the world that's not using AI right now. It's probably
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: because I don't know how to work. And as Sue,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: as I figured out, I'll use it too, But it's
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: scared it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Have a doctor where if you go in and you
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: have a question and they answer it away you don't like,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you change the doctor and then wait for one no.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: And I mean I mean this honestly, Like Oka, if
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you had asked questions about I'm somewhat kidding, but I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: do mean it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: If you had asked questions.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: About COVID and the vaccine and you had a doctor
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that got offended, change your doctor. Just go to a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: different doctor who's willing to have the conversation with you
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: about that stuff, and then find one like Matt did,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that you can stick with for fifteen years. That makes
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: sense to me and don't trust AI more than your doctor.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It says more about the specific professional that you're choosing
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to trust your health to than it says about the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: industry as a whole. That people are doing this, in
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: my opinion, and also the amount of people who are
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: incapable of asking a question that they think is going
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to get them in trouble with somebody else.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Well, think of it this way.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm getting to the I don't want to
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: say I'm a hypochondriact, but if I have a strange
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: pain somewhere, I get a little more concerned about what
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: I used to do when I was in my twenties.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: So I go to my doctor and she checks me out.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: She says, well, your blood work came back. Everything's good,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: You're good, You're fine. But for some reason that doesn't
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: click in my head. The good part I judge her reaction, like,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: was she give me the side eye when she said
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: that she's just trying to give a good bedside man
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: or maybe she knows something. So I go home and
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I google this thing, you know, strange pain in my head,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: whatever you know my side and WebMD comes up. AI
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: comes up and says, you will die tomorrow, and I'm thinking,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: then I'm even more concerned than what I was originally.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, your doctor is your doctor if you trust them,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: and if they're saying, you know, this is nothing. But
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: if my medicine is left into the hands of me,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I'm going to live a miserable life. It's what I'm saying,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: because of WebMD, because of AI, I need a professional
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: to give you that prognosis. Be giving myself a prognosis,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I shouldn't be trusting gay I to do it either.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: It's all true.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I will say one last thing about this is funny
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: because we've been creating this digital show that we hope
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to release at some point. Matt and I and I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: was just talking this week on our podcast thing about
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: how I'm pretty sure I have a kidney stone, but
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: no doctor has told me that I actually have one
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of those yet. And you guys were so nice when
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I mentioned that, like, ah, it's so terrible.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: We feel bad for you.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: But it's not actually a thing that I've been diagnosed
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: with yet. It just it just seems like it might
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: be true based on pain, the way pain is occurring
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in my body, et cetera.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Et cetera.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: And also that I really love things like Mountain dew
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Amp energy which make your pea change color.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: I'm absolutely surewise you just drink it.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, it's the craziest thing, the green amp energy
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: drink that I enjoy to consume occasionally.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I don't drink it all the time. I turned to
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the other stuff.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: It really does turn your you know, bathroom one situation
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: into something that's a neon color.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't be, and my wife is told it does.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: My wife has told me for a while that that's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: evident that I'm creating a problem in my body.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Charles Neon, this is fun.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I love that I admitted this on this show too.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I was going to keep that for just a podcast,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: but nope, now it's on the radio. All right, we'll
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: take a break. We'll take a break. A lot coming up.
