• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, we've all been there.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: You're out to dinner with friends and the check comes
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: and you're trying to figure out how to split up
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the bill, and then the stabbing starts.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It's one more thing. I'm strong and Getty one more thing.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: So before we get to that, update on a story
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: we talked about during the Armstrong and Getty radio show
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the other day, I just saw so it's a second
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: day of Technology Week at the White House, whatever that means,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and I just saw Milania walk into the West Wing
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: with a robot at her side. Both came walking down
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: this long red carpet, and it reminded me, have any
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: of you yet had an interaction with one of these
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: really good robots? I told this story from a couple
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: of years ago when I did has anybody else had
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: an interaction with a top notch robot?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I have not, No, No.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I did it at the Sphere in Las Vegas, and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: this is now two to three years old, and I'm
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: sure it's way better now than it was then.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it was top notch, but I
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: had a robot deliver my sushi not long ago.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did it knock on the door or were you
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: at a restaurant.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I was at a restaurant. It came to the table
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: and its little arms went out and had chopsticks in
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: one hand, and then this tray came out and I
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: took my plate and.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got a We've got a restaurant in my
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: town that's had a robot like that for a while.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It's an R two D two looking thing, and it's
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: basically a tall rumba that they put stuff on a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: tray and it's it's yeah, either is.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It a look or is it like a labor saving device?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It looks it seems like a gimmick in this in
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the case of mine.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And then there was a tip line on my receipt.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I thought that was interesting anyway.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that it just it didn't do much, but it's
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: oh my god, they've got a robot. But the robot
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: that I talked to with the Sphere, I think it
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: was one of Tesla's well, had that very humanoid look.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they've decided they need to make
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: them look like people, but it had eyes in the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: mouth and it talked and it took questions and talked
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to people. Crowd gathered around, where are you from, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: then you tell them and say, oh cool, I love
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma this time of year. It's kind of hot, isn't
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it Botwood Sadia or whatever? And it was. It was creepy,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: delicious but excellent, great plains weather knowledge.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: If I'm remembering properly, you also thought it was hot.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Oh that's right, it was a chicken. It was kind
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: of hot. Wow, pretty shapely. And a robot just walked
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: out with Malania too. So I haven't encountered one recently.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I'll badly all have one in our workplace. It won't
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: be too long there'll be one walk in the halls
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: taking paperwork around, doing stuff.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So I'm sure these studies have been done, But I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: find myself wondering because of the whole Uncanny Valley effect
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: where people are turned off freaked out by something that's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: almost human, then why do we do it well right exactly?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And I remember, like going back to the Twilight Zone
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: would have episodes where somebody would be revealed to be
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: an alien or something. What freaked out? Was there? Almost
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: human but little twist on there. So I'm sure they've
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: done the studies. If I'm buying a mobile computer that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: has some mechanical abilities. I don't automatically need it to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: look like a human being. No where did that come from?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they think they need to have
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: them walk on two legs, which you know, some complication
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to enter into it, as opposed to if you had
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: three legs, it'd be more stable. I don't know why
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: they decide to make it so human like. It must
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: be something with the marketing or something.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Because they're counting on us and like interacting with.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It, sexing them up.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Or is it just that in science fiction, robots have
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: always been portrayed as as humanoid, might be physical fight
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I don't there's got to be an answer to that question, though.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I'd kind of like something that's clearly not a human
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: like I Lost in Space robot. I mean it kind
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of had a human ish look. I don't know what
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that'd be the danger Will Robinson?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: That one kind of like the tin Man from Wizard
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of Oz, more.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Like that little bit, But yeah, this is that robot.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It had two legs, but it was on a wheelbase.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It had like hose arms that would you know, do
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: more or less army things. But you'd never turn around
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and think oh my god, that was a I thought
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that was a human right.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: No need for a face at all, No need for
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a face at all, let alone two eyes.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: No have a face. My toaster oven doesn't have a face,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm fine. Yeah, so I don't. I don't know
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the answer to that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do some research on it, or if there's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: some smart AI person, I could get a question too,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: because I would like to know why they've decided to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: do that. It's obviously decision, particularly the face. That's a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: good point, Katie, the other ones. Maybe you could make
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the argument. I don't think it's true though, that two
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: legs are the If you're going to design some sort
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of moveable piece of technology, I don't think you would
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: choose two legs as the ultimate design.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: No.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It obviously has its advantages, but I think four legs
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: would be a lot better.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean judging a strong base with wheels, Yeah yeah,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: yeah yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: AnyWho, more human they look, the more they creep me out.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Well, right, yeah, exactly, We're built that way, and so
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: don't give it eyes in a mouth and a nose
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and boobs like the one that I saw in Las Vegas.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Because then Jack gets tempted, you know, huh.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you can't turn off your instincts.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I should have asked that it seems from the way
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: your shaped that you have boobs which are generally designed
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to provide milk to an infant. Are you going to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: have an infant robot that feeds on your boob like structures?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Do you lactate? Yeah? I should have asked that what
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: cup size are you? What size would you want? And
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: then you say the size they get bigger exactly.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Or if I throw you some beads, will you lift
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: up your carbon fiber cover and.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Show me those things? Well, they'll always be firm, so
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the robots have that going for them.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, to wrap today this. We brought you this story
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the other day. Pretty nice restaurant, trendy place in Los Angeles,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: brunch on a Sunday. I've seen pictures of the place.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Nice looking neighborhood, nice looking restaurant. In fact, the chef
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: is ty Bree, a California native, helping blend Southern influences
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: with the modern high energy atmosphere.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Oh that's what I'm looking for.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: If the high energy atmosphere includes stabbing each other with
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: broken bottles. I guess that's then they met that.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Well, that's not low energy. Good point.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: So you had five women kind of dressed up. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: mean I've seen the pictures of them. They got skirts
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: on and strappy shoes like you know, middle upper class
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: women going out for brunch on a Sunday. We've all
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: seen it. And for some reason, the bill comes and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: somehow an argument starts and somebody grabs a knife and
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: starts stabbing people. And another person, according to the La
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Times account of it, broke a bottle over the the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: person's head, and then there was stabbing going with the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: broken bottle. As we as you do in these situations.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I call that resourcefulness. I don't have a knife within reach,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: what can I utilize?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: That's a clever Yeah. No information was available on the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: relationships to one another. It just looked like friends to me.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Happened the police arrived around five.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: That's how I am with my friends. By the way,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: just one thing, we all snap and try to kill
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: each other.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Right, Hey, hey, things got stabby again tonight. I feel bad.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I know you feel bad, by gones, right.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, let's try this again next weekend.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Two of the five were booked on felony charges. One
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: remains in custody, so she must have been the original.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not paying a fifth of this. Took a knife,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: stabby stabs as people do, as you do.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, Jim, you stabbed me with a knife. I slashed
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you with a bottle. Bill tried to take out John's
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: eye with a spoon. Can you two shake? Yeah?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: All right again. Chef ty Bree is trying to blend
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Southern influences with a modern, high energy atmosphere. Maybe the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Southern influences or the duel. I don't know what the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: influences are.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Right, Maybe go with a cuisine that doesn't require knives, chef,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: at least for a little while.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: After the stabbings, the restaurant posted on their Instagram, we
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: are aware of the incident that occurred earlier today.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they are.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: And the situation was beyond our control. I'm sure it was.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I'm sure.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I love the spokeshole. I love the official statement, whether
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: it's government or corporate or this restaurant. Oh oh oh,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: it was not within your control. See I was thinking
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: that it was you know, statistry and get a free
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: dessert or something today. Thank you for that idiotic statement.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, I assumed that the server had come handed her
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a knife and said if I were you, I'd stab her.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Turns out it was beyond there was in their control.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Zaia.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: The name of the restaurant is known for its dinner
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and show concept. The restaurant pairs its menu with music
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and private event offerings.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Cool.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Sounds very very nice like a restaurant to me. As
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: long as nobody stabs you over the bill. God, there's
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: got to be more details of this story. If this
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: ends up going to quart or something, we're all going
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: to learn and that'll be great. Like who said, what?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: How did it escalate? I need to know more about this.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I don't think it will.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I'll bet, I'll bet we get details on this.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: There's a pretty good conservative da now in LA or
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: County attorney, whatever his formal title is.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I got to think there was something leading up to
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: this event, and this is like the final straw. Probably
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: some drinking, although I've done a lot of drinking with
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of people and nobody even came close to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: stabbing anybody.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Are you part of a subculture that routinely settles minor
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: disputes with physical vice? I am not.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, there you go.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: That is I would think, you know, maybe all five
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: weren't involved. It could have been just two or three
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: that were really involved. It could have been just one.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Really could have been all self defense after the one
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: nut job.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Right, did you see the video?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: No?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, they went, they were, they were, they were all
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: in it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't know why you been holding onto this video
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and you guys.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Have been talking about it. I just figured you saw it.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: No, describe it, describe it. Uh.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: It is five women at this table, and you can
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: see that the conversation is getting heated and then it
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: just explodes. Okay, I'll get the video your way.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And uh then do like patrons run over or waiters
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: or everybody whips their phone out.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: A couple of people whip the phone out, and then
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: you see a couple of weight like try to They're
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: not really sure because it was chaotic.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: As it said on their Instagram page, it was beyond
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: their control.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Why don't we post this at armstrong ngetdy dot com
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: so everybody can enjoy the video goodness?
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Of course, So was this video from somebody whipped their
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: phone out or did they have like a camera in
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: the ceiling in the restaurant.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Doesn't look like this was phone footage, gotcha. I'm gonna
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: have to find it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: There's nothing that happens in public anymore that somebody doesn't
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: get a video of it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: You know, you got some bully beating up a little
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: guy or a woman or something like that. I'm not
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: videotaping it. I'm gonna do whatever I can do to
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: help in this situation. I'm breaking out my phone. Yeah,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: mutual combat between lunatics.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Probably drunk, biacious, screaming faiths at each other. Yeah, I'm
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: not getting involved in that. I wonder if they, when
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: they all settled down, if they thought, you know, that
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: really got out of hand, don't you think.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I think if you think that, it never would have happened,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: You're probably right. If I'm the bus boy as they're fighting,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I just come up and say, excuse me, does anybody
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: want any more water? Yes? And then just walk away.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Do you want to see the dessert menu?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And he's still hungry?
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: You've got great specials.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Did you leave room? Well, I guess that's it.
