- 0:06Speaker 1: one nine eight eighty six my number eight two one
- 0:08Speaker 1: WUTV and and uh I. You know, I don't want
- 0:15Speaker 1: to laugh at someone's bad luck or misfortune or whatever.
- 0:22Speaker 1: But every time artificial intelligence aiye bites itself in the
- 0:27Speaker 1: cyber butt, I get a little joy out of it,
- 0:32Speaker 1: just because you know, everybody's way. Oh, it's the way
- 0:34Speaker 1: the feel all these videos, these social media videos, whether
- 0:37Speaker 1: it's you know, the Twitter or the Instagram or the
- 0:40Speaker 1: TikTok or the Facebook, doesn't matter, but they've got the narration.
- 0:43Speaker 1: You know, this man came home and found this in
- 0:46Speaker 1: his home. Man, I think it's supposed to be like
- 0:49Speaker 1: an AI Morgan freemonition. Everybody's using that voice, and as
- 0:54Speaker 1: soon as that voice comes on, I swipe. I'm not
- 0:58Speaker 1: going whatever you're trying to sell me, I will swipe
- 1:01Speaker 1: away from because I'm sick of hearing that voice on everything.
- 1:04Speaker 1: There's even television commercials using it. Very annoying. So as
- 1:10Speaker 1: I'm going through the YouTube earlier today I was up.
- 1:14Speaker 1: I was actually looking for some old music performances. If
- 1:19Speaker 1: you're on my Facebook page, you'll notice I posted Johnny
- 1:21Speaker 1: Mathis for his eighty eighth birthday, still sounding wonderful. And
- 1:26Speaker 1: I was looking for some music on YouTube and you
- 1:29Speaker 1: have to watch the commercials, the little cyber commercials there
- 1:32Speaker 1: before something. Then you can skip the ad after like
- 1:35Speaker 1: ten seconds or whatever. Well, this ad comes on and
- 1:38Speaker 1: I'm looking at this guy and I'm like, he ha, ariel,
- 1:41Speaker 1: that's artificial intelligence right there, and he's selling this product.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Now I'm like, yeah, okay, just just wait, just and
- 1:48Speaker 1: he goes. As a matter of fact, our company does
- 1:51Speaker 1: live events all over the state. I'm like, wait a minute,
- 1:55Speaker 1: live events.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Somebody type that in wrong when they're feeding it.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean the computer program is going to
- 2:02Speaker 1: read live or live and apparently that that particular code
- 2:07Speaker 1: does not get contact texts. So yeah, hosts live events
- 2:12Speaker 1: all over the state. And I burst it out with laughter.
- 2:17Speaker 1: I just you know, we take the human equation out
- 2:19Speaker 1: of so much in society these days that when it's
- 2:25Speaker 1: done in media and it bites them, I find some
- 2:29Speaker 1: joy in it. I really do. I've said, you know
- 2:34Speaker 1: for probably a couple of years now, ever since they
- 2:36Speaker 1: started talking about nil and sports, collegiate sports. I believe
- 2:41Speaker 1: we need NIL in the media industry because I don't want,
- 2:48Speaker 1: you know, my grandkids turning on the radio in fifty
- 2:51Speaker 1: years and hearing Paul Paul's voice doing something hawking some
- 2:55Speaker 1: product for somebody. And I actually I turned myself into
- 2:59Speaker 1: an a voice over the weekend just to see what
- 3:01Speaker 1: it sounded like. It sounds quite a bit like me,
- 3:06Speaker 1: but I would know in a heartbeat it's not me,
- 3:10Speaker 1: and I think anybody who really knows me would know
- 3:13Speaker 1: it's not me. But it's going to get better, and
- 3:17Speaker 1: eventually there will come a day when it will be
- 3:20Speaker 1: pretty much perfect. That I don't like that, which is
- 3:27Speaker 1: why I get joy out of things like we do events.
- 3:30Speaker 1: We do live events all over this day. There's a
- 3:34Speaker 1: bunch of news today the media is going to hammer
- 3:36Speaker 1: you with and you're going to hear but it started today.
- 3:39Speaker 1: You're going to hear about this at least this week.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And that is about the Republicans that are turning tail
- 3:47Speaker 1: and running from Donald Trump and tariffs and all this.
- 3:49Speaker 1: There's actually a bill they're working on in the House,
- 3:52Speaker 1: sponsored primarily by a Democrat. However, several Republican members of
- 3:56Speaker 1: the House have signed on. You're hearing Ted Cruise is
- 4:00Speaker 1: name thrown around a lot because he's been such an
- 4:03Speaker 1: adimant voice for the Trump administration. They figure, hey, if
- 4:07Speaker 1: Ted turns a bit, if we can convince people that
- 4:09Speaker 1: Ted is turning against him, they'll turn against him. To
- 4:15Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell last week issued some stupid statement. It was
- 4:20Speaker 1: a short statement, took him several hours because it's Mitch McConnell,
- 4:24Speaker 1: but it was all I or said. I don't believe
- 4:29Speaker 1: terrors are the right thing to do. And you know,
- 4:34Speaker 1: and sorry, I know you're a Kentucky guy, but I
- 4:39Speaker 1: can't believe Kentucky sent that guy back. They're trying to.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Make it that charisma can get past.
- 4:47Speaker 1: That turtles look at him and go seriously, they're trying
- 4:52Speaker 1: to make it sound like, seem like, feel like there
- 4:55Speaker 1: is some sort of u uh, what do you call it?
- 4:58Speaker 1: When the when the ship been mutiny? There you go,
- 5:02Speaker 1: that is happening. Don't believe it, don't believe it. A
- 5:08Speaker 1: Republican member of Congress who is overheard somewhere going, man,
- 5:12Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous. I hope this works will be
- 5:15Speaker 1: a headline. The next day, Congressman expresses doubt and Trump
- 5:19Speaker 1: planned don't believe it. Is it going to get a
- 5:25Speaker 1: little bumpy, Probably as bumpy as they're trying to make
- 5:29Speaker 1: you believe it's going to get doubtful? Is everything in
- 5:33Speaker 1: your world going to crash? Maybe? But I don't think
- 5:38Speaker 1: it's as likely as it's being portrayed. And quite frankly,
- 5:41Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you right now, what I see
- 5:43Speaker 1: coming up as opportunity. If stocks continue to go down,
- 5:50Speaker 1: they might come down to the level where you can
- 5:52Speaker 1: buy a few shares. And believe me, while I am
- 5:55Speaker 1: not a stockbroker or licensed to represent myself as such,
- 6:00Speaker 1: in Vidia we'll go back up, Tesla will go back up,
- 6:05Speaker 1: Intel we'll go back up. Oil stocks will go back.
- 6:09Speaker 1: You get my meaning. But if you couldn't buy Tesla
- 6:13Speaker 1: at four hundred dollars a share, maybe you can swing
- 6:16Speaker 1: a few shares. If it's down to one fifty, maybe
- 6:20Speaker 1: you can put together five hundred, six hundred bucks four
- 6:23Speaker 1: shares of Tesla. Well that it cost me six hundred
- 6:26Speaker 1: dollars at one hundred and fifty dollars, Yes, it would.
- 6:29Speaker 1: And when it goes back up to where it was
- 6:30Speaker 1: and probably passed where it was, and it's going to
- 6:32Speaker 1: be worth twenty four to twenty five hundred dollars for
- 6:34Speaker 1: your six hundred dollars investment. That's what the stock market
- 6:36Speaker 1: is about. These technological companies are technological companies because they
- 6:46Speaker 1: deal in what technology, and we are all about the technology,
- 6:51Speaker 1: whether it's EV, satellite sell communications. They're already talking about
- 6:56Speaker 1: what are they skipping six G and talking about ten
- 6:59Speaker 1: G cell phones and all this crap man. Technology is
- 7:04Speaker 1: always going to lead the way in all kinds of
- 7:09Speaker 1: other industries because it affects the technology, effects communications, it
- 7:12Speaker 1: effects transportation, it affects every aspect of our light. What
- 7:16Speaker 1: is your kitchen counter going to be made out of
- 7:18Speaker 1: in a year and a half. It's all technology. And
- 7:22Speaker 1: those companies that are are tech heavy companies, especially the
- 7:27Speaker 1: big boys, they'll be back. They will be back. And
- 7:32Speaker 1: if we go to all EV's and say, oh, what's
- 7:34Speaker 1: going to happen if we go to all evs and well,
- 7:38Speaker 1: Japan likely won't, China likely won't, India likely won't, and
- 7:44Speaker 1: they're all buying more oil than the United States. India
- 7:49Speaker 1: just change his name to crude because they're sucking down
- 7:52Speaker 1: a lot of oil in India. But even if our
- 7:55Speaker 1: cars are not running on it in a decade. Look
- 8:00Speaker 1: look around you right now, wherever you are, just look around.
- 8:03Speaker 1: I guarantee you within ten seconds you've seen at least
- 8:06Speaker 1: two oil based products, the plastics and vinyls that we live.
- 8:13Speaker 1: That stuff you put your food in your leftover food, Yeah,
- 8:16Speaker 1: that's made out of oil. I didn't know that. Well,
- 8:20Speaker 1: now you do. Don't give up the ship. Don't believe
- 8:25Speaker 1: the panic. Don't freak out.
- 8:28Speaker 2: What if they start creating evy tupperware?
- 8:32Speaker 1: What about that ev tupperware? Does it drive itself to
- 8:35Speaker 1: the refrigerator?
- 8:35Speaker 2: It heats things up?
- 8:36Speaker 1: I would buy a set. I would buy a set.
- 8:39Speaker 1: I missed you in fact, that's that's another one of
- 8:42Speaker 1: my things. If I can. You know, the real estate
- 8:44Speaker 1: market comes back pretty strong before this summer is over with,
- 8:47Speaker 1: I get a few houses sold. That's one of my splurges.
- 8:50Speaker 1: It's not a necessity, it's just something I want. And
- 8:53Speaker 1: that's a kitchen full of tupperware. Like mom had tupperware,
- 8:55Speaker 1: had something for everything.
- 8:58Speaker 3: Instead of going out and partying. Where you're younger, did
- 9:01Speaker 3: you have tupperware parties?
- 9:03Speaker 1: Mom had a few.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Well that's your mom.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Yeah, she was. She was very very uh, very suburban.
- 9:10Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Was she had her Tupperware parties, and she had she
- 9:14Speaker 1: was a March of Dimes block captains, so every year
- 9:17Speaker 1: she was out there with the March of Dimes collecting
- 9:19Speaker 1: dimes in her little book for that charity. And she
- 9:22Speaker 1: was a member of the PTA, and she was a
- 9:24Speaker 1: room mother and she did all that kind of stuff.
- 9:25Speaker 2: That's nice.
- 9:26Speaker 1: But the tupperware stuff was awesome because first of all,
- 9:29Speaker 1: everything had a lid, which I loved, even the cups.
- 9:33Speaker 1: They had these tumblers. I think they might have been
- 9:35Speaker 1: twelve ounces fourteen ounce tumblers, but they had lids. So
- 9:38Speaker 1: you could put your kool aid and stuff in them
- 9:39Speaker 1: and put the cups in the in the cooler and
- 9:42Speaker 1: go to the picnic or whatever and have boom, there's
- 9:45Speaker 1: your cup. You don't have to pour anything or whatever.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Tupperware is a great product. I miss it. I mean
- 9:50Speaker 1: it's still out there, and I know it's expensive now
- 9:53Speaker 1: you don't see it nearly as much as you used
- 9:54Speaker 1: to because people buy the Stirlite stuff or the rubber
- 9:57Speaker 1: Maid stuff. But yeah, if I just I got a
- 10:00Speaker 1: few hundred bucks, I could just splurge on something. Goofy,
- 10:03Speaker 1: it would be a kitchen full of tupperware, because that's
- 10:07Speaker 1: the guy I am. Anything you need to throw at me,
- 10:09Speaker 1: Are you over there selling all your stocks and bonds
- 10:11Speaker 1: and getting rid of your your supply chain for your
- 10:14Speaker 1: over repair and all that? You know?
- 10:16Speaker 2: Just looking at if they sell tupperware?
- 10:17Speaker 1: You know who near here? I don't know that there's
- 10:20Speaker 1: a Tupperware store.
- 10:21Speaker 2: There's Tupperware dot tupperware dot com.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Yeah, everything's online these days. Yeah. I was traveling around
- 10:28Speaker 1: in northern Ohio a few years ago. I don't even
- 10:30Speaker 1: know what town I was in, but I came across
- 10:33Speaker 1: a rubber Maid store which was just like, oh my gosh,
- 10:38Speaker 1: I heard a choir of angels.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Did you go in?
- 10:41Speaker 1: I didn't have time. I had I had other stuff
- 10:44Speaker 1: going on, but I like, does that say what I
- 10:46Speaker 1: think it says? And I pulled and it was a
- 10:49Speaker 1: store of nothing but rubber Maid containers.
- 10:53Speaker 3: That I understand the dot. This is gonna sound weird.
- 10:57Speaker 3: I have driven past Niagara Falls multiple times that have
- 11:02Speaker 3: never stopped because I've never had time.
- 11:06Speaker 1: You're gonna have to extend your trip by a day
- 11:08Speaker 1: next time.
- 11:08Speaker 3: I know, but it's just regardless of where I was going.
- 11:12Speaker 3: When I passed right through there, I didn't have time.
- 11:14Speaker 1: To I've never been to Niagara Fall as one of
- 11:17Speaker 1: our natural wonders. I have never seen or been to
- 11:19Speaker 1: the Grand Canyon, or been to Yellowstone or I gotta.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Travel more Grand Canyons.
- 11:24Speaker 3: Great when you get up at three in the morning
- 11:26Speaker 3: when you're in Phoenix and you drive all the way
- 11:28Speaker 3: there and it's rainy and foggy, and then you pay
- 11:30Speaker 3: thirty bucks and they let you look, and you get
- 11:32Speaker 3: to one of the edges and you can't see anything
- 11:34Speaker 3: because it's foggy.
- 11:35Speaker 1: It's fantastic.
