  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone here. Welcome to the bonus edition
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of the podcast, just for you podcast listeners. So a
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff revealed this week. Things are changing fast.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: For instance, McDonald's is testing the AI drive-through system, the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Arch IQ. They're testing at five locations. You know, you
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: drive through the drive-in window and you push the button
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and you order And there's always a woman that looks
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: like you're just totally annoyed you even showed up, but
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: apparently going to try AI as a replacement. So as
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I say, they're testing it in five places. The AI
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: system can actually chat with customers, take orders in multiple languages,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and help run restaurant operations behind the scenes. The technology,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: nicknamed Archie, testing at five locations. So far, it is fine.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: processed 1 million transactions with about 90% of orders completed
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: without any human escalation. Okay. You know, it used to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: be you'd go to the counter, you had to stand
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: there and talk to somebody who looked miserable that you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: even showed up, and you had to order, and you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: didn't know if they're listening or they're not listening, are
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: they getting my order? I don't know. Then things change.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Now when you walk in, there's a big tablet screen,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and you type in your order. And you can see
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it right there on the screen. So you know it's perfect.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: And you do your order. And then you just go
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: over and pick it up when it's ready. So you
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: don't have to talk to anybody the whole time. So
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: this is good in a way. This is not bad.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And then the AI system will be for a drive-thru. Now,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: first of all, let me just say that if you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: order at a drive-in window, you should be ashamed of yourself.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Pull over and park. Go in and get your order.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: How lazy are you that you can't walk in and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: get it? Always park. Go inside. Get a little movement,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: little exercise, and pick it up. The fact that you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: can't even get out of your car, there's something wrong
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: with that. AI is going to be everywhere. Here's the problem, though,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in schools, high schools, grade schools. Let's take high schools,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: for instance. Kids today all use that Google Chromebook in school,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Chromebook computer. Google makes those just for students. But they've
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: put a ton of AI into it. So now almost 75%
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of teens, 75% of teens admit using AI for their schoolwork.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And it's causing test scores to plunge. So teenagers, 75%
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of them have AI do their homework. And then the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: problem is all semester, the AI is doing your homework.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So you're not actually doing anything or reading it or
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: learning it. And then it comes time to take the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: test and you don't know anything and you flunk the test.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So teachers are reporting this is very often the case
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: where the kid is doing okay with his homework very well.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And then he flunks the test. So it looks like
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: he's heading towards a B plus and then he ends
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: up with a D because he didn't do well on
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the test. So 63% actually admit they do this. Now,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: when we were kids, we had a, I mean, we
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: didn't do the homework either. Well, we sort of cheated.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You never actually read the book. You went and got
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the cliff notes, and you'd read the cliff notes. But
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that was a little different. You were actually still learning
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the stuff. The cliff notes were pretty good. It was
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: just simply explaining what was in the book. So at
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: least you knew what was in the book. When the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: AI does it, you don't know anything. So I don't know.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Here's one student. So she's using AI all year, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: then she just doesn't know anything when she gets to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the test. Here's a 15-year-old boy said, it slowed down
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: my thinking. I was in a test and I couldn't
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: use the AI. Suddenly it was hard to think. I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: didn't know anything. Scott said his algebra test scores dropped
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: dramatically once he started relying on AI. Now, the other thing, though,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is the other argument is, you know, when I was
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a kid, I had no interest in math or calculus
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: or any geometry. Who the hell cares? And they say,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: we're going to need this later in life. Well, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: hate to break it to you, all you teachers listening.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: It's later in life and it never came up once. Never. Algebra.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: This never came up once anywhere ever. And if I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: have to do math, look at this. Here's my phone.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: There's a great calculator in it. I can do the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: math right there. What do I need to learn it for?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And you could argue the same thing with this other stuff.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: What do I need to read the book for? What
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: do I need to study this stuff for? I'll have
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: AI in my phone and it could give me the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: answer anytime I want it. So you could argue this
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: both ways, but experts are arguing all this technology has
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: caused cognitive and emotional harm, hurting students. See, that's the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: other thing. You're going to raise kids that, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: kids who were raised in the last 20 years, they're lazier,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they're on their phone, they don't get any exercise. So
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: this is going to be the same problem. Their brain's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: not getting any exercise. A Google spokeswoman said studies show
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: AI tools paired with teacher instruction, can improve the way
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: students learn. But that's the Google spokesman. What are they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: going to say? Teachers around the world use our technology
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: every day because it solves real classroom challenges and helps
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: improve learning outcomes. Now, she's the Google spokeswoman. They probably
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: pay her $ 8 million a year to spew this nonsense
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and sound convincing in the process. Hey, this Tom Brady...
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Finally opening it up. And Frente is talking about this.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: You know, he was married to the supermodel Giselle Bündchen. And,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know, the marriage ended. They had kids. But like
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of marriages, it ended. Well, it's all coming
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: out now that apparently he was so heartbroken. She ended it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: She ended it with three brutal words. She said to him,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we're not compatible. And Brady fell apart. His closest friend
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: said he literally just was heartbroken. Fell apart. There's a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: new book coming out with all this stuff in it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: He was just devastated. Now, she left him because all
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: he did was work on football. 18 hours a day,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: like seven days a week. There was no time for
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: anything else. Now, Brady is the greatest quarterback ever. He's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: just unbelievable to watch. The most amazing, highly skilled. So
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: sometimes you watch this and you think, wow, this guy
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: was born with a lot of talent. That's not the case.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: He works his blank off. literally like 18 hours a day, nonstop,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: seven days a week. You know, he had this big
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: house in Massachusetts and there was a, next to it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: looked like a big barn or something. He'd go in there.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It was a football practice field with a bunch of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: football guys that would help him. And he would just
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: throw passes all day and run plays all day. And
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: then he would eat that. Do you ever see what
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: he eats? It's like grass and weeds, milkshake and flowers
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and plants, all kind of just, I mean, what a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: way to live. But she couldn't take it anymore. She
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: kept saying, you know, you're not there for me. You're
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: not there for the kids. You're tied up all day.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: But again, he's the greatest quarterback in history. It's the NFL.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to be the best, you're
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: going to do this all day long. So, and I
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: guess what broke up the marriage, she kept, as he
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: got older, as he got in his 40s, you know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: or near 40, she assumed he'll retire and then they
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: could have a normal life. And then He didn't retire.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And then she said, well, the next year he'll retire.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And then he didn't retire that year either. And then
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: this went on and on. Finally, when he left the Patriots,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: thank God, he'll retire. Then when he decides he'll go
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay, oh, she just went nuts over this.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And then finally, like she put her foot, you got
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to retire. Now it's time to retire. And he didn't.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: He did one more year. Well, she couldn't take it anymore.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And she just said, it's over. And she left him.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: But his friends say he was just Crushed, devastated. He
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: couldn't eat. He couldn't do anything. He lost like 20 pounds.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It took him a long time to recover. But apparently
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: he's recovered. She's since remarried. A jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquin, whatever
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: his name is here. They now have a one-year-old son.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: You see the thing with a jiu-jitsu instructor. Hey, you
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: practice an hour a day. It's not 18 hours a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: day every day. Hey, the other thing, Tom Brady, greatest
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: quarterback ever. Then he becomes a play-by-play guy, like a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: football play-by-play guy. And not so good. I mean, first
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of all, his voice isn't right. You need a stronger voice.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Pretty good analysis sometimes. But again, he's not a professional broadcaster.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: The other problem is he's a football player. And even
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: he says he's very embarrassed because sometimes he's not a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: professional broadcaster. He just curses on the air. It was
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: a horrible play. The quarterback, horrible thing that happened on
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the field. And Brady on there went, oh, blank. The
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: S word. Oh, blank. Well, that went viral everywhere. Then
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: there was an unbelievable pass. This Dallas quarterback threw the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: most amazing pass. It just went shooting through the air.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. So on the air, Brady said, wow,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that's an absolute piss missile. Am I allowed to say
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: piss missile? I don't know. Well, that went viral, too.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So his language getting him into a lot of trouble.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Brady says, I'm actually kind of embarrassed. There's a lot
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of grandmas at home probably aren't happy with my mouth
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: on Fox. But again, not a broadcaster. He's a football player.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: What's he supposed to do? Hey, do you know that
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: this is interesting. Hugh Hefner, the old Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: apparently kept calling the FBI to report Jeffrey Epstein. Back
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in 2005, 21 years ago, a Playboy playmate told Hefner
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: she was raped and trafficked by the disgraced financier. So
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: apparently Hefner went to the FBI a couple of times
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and tried to do something about Epstein and had her
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: tell the FBI agents what had happened. I mean, they
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: did eventually take action and they did get the guy,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: but Hefner trying and trying to do something about this guy. Hey,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: one thing about, if you go through the Epstein files,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the underage girls, the pedophilia, that seemed to be Epstein personally,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: but all these other people that he was passing women
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: around to were not pedophiles. And the, for the most part,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: we're not underage girls. If you read the millions of pages,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: they were, uh, adult women, not underage girls. And that's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: what most of these guys wanted. The exception might be, uh, uh,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew Epstein himself, maybe Prince Andrew like the underage girls,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: but the rest of the guys, it was all, uh,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: adult women. Um, There's a new biographer writing about Epstein.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Apparently he was always just a disgusting bad guy. Even
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: as a kid, his mother was paying a checking account,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: had set up a little checking account for him, paying
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: his tuition. And apparently Epstein would like steal money from
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: her out of his, somehow finagle the money and did
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: all kinds of shenanigans. NYU once sent a debt collector
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to his address. His brother answered the door. Lied, said
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Epstein was in Europe. So New York University took him
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to civil court. They got an invalid tuition payment. He
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: wrote a check on his mother's checking account. The check bounced.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: But apparently he was always just a total, complete sleazeball. Hey,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: that Abdul Al-Sayed, this horrible Michigan guy. Boy, his sister,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: even worse, his sister ranting and raving against America. ranting
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and raving against the 4th of July Thanksgiving. She hates
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: these holidays. She claims it has to do with genocide
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and colonialism and all this. So it runs in the family.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Same thing with Mamdani. The wife is even crazier than
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: he is. They all got these wacko families that they
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: come from. No wonder they're all screwed up. Hey, apparently
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: President Xi, his meeting with China, some stuff came from it.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: They got China to agree to buy 10 million tons
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of coal. China's got more coal factories and coal plants
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: than anybody in the world. But he convinced them to
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: buy 10 million of coal from us. But you talk
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: about selling ice to Eskimos. This is Trump. That's a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: hell of a salesman. Got him to do it. China
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: followed through on a couple other promises. They'll buy U.S.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: soybeans and other products from us. So It was you
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: got to say it was a successful business. Hey, even
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Bill Maher says give President Trump credit for the steep
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: drop in crime. He got hundreds of thousands of criminals
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: off the streets, deported them, locked them up. Give him
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: credit for the big drop in crime all over the country.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Hey, this has been the bonus segment
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: of the podcast. You can listen to me live nine
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: nine to noon every day. Monday through Friday, or, of course,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the podcast, obviously, you know about. Have a great weekend.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. Talk to you soon.
