Wicked Radio 10-23: Another Deadly Illegal Trucker, Drug Boats, & AI Starbucks Baristas! · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:02
Speaker 1: I always trying to tell you, even through the most
0:04
Speaker 1: horrific stories that the media brings us or what they
0:07
Speaker 1: try to tell us, there's.
0:08
Speaker 2: Always good news. There's always some sort of a bright
0:11
Speaker 2: spot in hearing.
0:11
Speaker 1: There's more and more of it every single day, if
0:13
Speaker 1: you happen to notice, because more common sense is trickling
0:16
Speaker 1: its way.
0:17
Speaker 2: Into these news stories. Now, why is it happening?
0:19
Speaker 1: Because you, me, everybody else were demanding it. Now the
0:23
Speaker 1: stories are starting. They're never going to stop trying to
0:26
Speaker 1: push a narrative on you, but they're getting forced into
0:29
Speaker 1: telling you the truth. Case in point, another deadly commercial
0:33
Speaker 1: driver's commercial driver incident, this time in California, and the
0:38
Speaker 1: thing that keeps on happening that they told me wasn't
0:42
Speaker 1: a thing. It was just an isolated incident last month
0:45
Speaker 1: in Florida. Well it happened again, and take a guess
0:49
Speaker 1: what kind of driver it was. But here's the difference
0:52
Speaker 1: in this one. They're actually starting to report it last
0:54
Speaker 1: time this time, as opposed to last time last time
0:57
Speaker 1: when this happened, the most notable story on Florida's Turnpike,
1:00
Speaker 1: it took them like three days to finally get beaten
1:03
Speaker 1: down enough to tell the truth.
1:04
Speaker 2: This time only about twelve hours. And that's a good sign.
1:08
Speaker 1: President Trump has actually gotten prominent media democrats to defend
1:12
Speaker 1: drug boats. It might be his greatest accomplishment yet I'm
1:16
Speaker 1: not completely too sure. I also have a little bit
1:18
Speaker 1: of entertainment in sports news, actually more media news. The
1:21
Speaker 1: NFL is tripling down on bad Bunny, and you'll hear
1:25
Speaker 1: from the commissioner himself.
1:26
Speaker 2: They don't care about the audience. That's the takeaway on
1:29
Speaker 2: this one, and is very bad news for Starbucks baristas.
1:34
Speaker 1: Not the kind of like college kids just working their
1:36
Speaker 1: part time jobs and trying to make some extra money.
1:38
Speaker 1: I mean, like the baristas who saw this as a
1:40
Speaker 1: career opportunity. Because AI is coming into aller of our lives.
1:44
Speaker 1: It's coming into their life.
1:45
Speaker 2: Like right away.
1:47
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that as well. Thanks for being here,
1:48
Speaker 1: appreciate you. Wicked Radio live stream and then the pod
1:51

1:56
Speaker 1: podcast only make sure you download and like and follow
1:59
Speaker 1: on all that crap.
2:00
Speaker 2: Let's get right to it.
2:01
Speaker 1: The thing that they told me was an isolated incident
2:05
Speaker 1: in Florida last month has happened again, sadly, this time
2:08
Speaker 1: in California. Here's the news story this near Ontario.
2:12
Speaker 3: Exclusive dash cam of video, which is now the subject
2:15
Speaker 3: of several law enforcement investigations. It shows a moment a
2:19
Speaker 3: ride semi truck ap plowed into a number of vehicles
2:22
Speaker 3: on the westbound ten Freeway in Ontario just after one
2:25
Speaker 3: pm yesterday. The CHP told the La Times the driver
2:29
Speaker 3: of this big rig is a twenty one year old
2:31
Speaker 3: man who is now under arrest on suspicion of driving
2:34
Speaker 3: under the influence of drugs.
2:36
Speaker 1: Now that I should have warned you, actually, if you
2:37
Speaker 1: hadn't seen that story yet, if you saw the video,
2:39
Speaker 1: that is one of the most horrific things I've ever seen.
2:41
Speaker 2: And I see a lot you do too.
2:43
Speaker 1: But this thing popped up on my feed and I'm like, whoa,
2:46
Speaker 1: oh my god, what is that? And then sure enough
2:48
Speaker 1: the story turns out to be another illegal driver who
2:53
Speaker 1: could barely speak English or certainly not understand the signs
2:56
Speaker 1: on drugs. The news report had it right there, but
2:59
Speaker 1: right away, and that was eight seven out of California.
3:03
Speaker 1: I would like to congratulate though, ABC seven actually.
3:07
Speaker 2: More over than that.
3:07
Speaker 1: I would like to congratulate you and the American people
3:10
Speaker 1: for demanding the truth on this because.
3:12
Speaker 2: You heard it right there.
3:14
Speaker 1: She was starting to starting to give the details about
3:17
Speaker 1: who the driver was because we were all asking the question,
3:19
Speaker 1: and they were first on the scene starting to give
3:21
Speaker 1: the details.
3:22
Speaker 2: Twenty one years old on drugs. They knew that much.
3:26
Speaker 1: So you got to understand if they know that much,
3:28
Speaker 1: they know exactly who the driver was, but they can't
3:30
Speaker 1: say it yet. They'll always tell you it's because the
3:31
Speaker 1: ongoing investigation. It's really because they don't want to get canceled,
3:35
Speaker 1: is what it is. But here's the difference now, and
3:38
Speaker 1: this is why this is the good news in this
3:40
Speaker 1: horrific story, why there's actually good news.
3:42
Speaker 2: You got to look at it this way.
3:44
Speaker 1: Wasn't right away, It took some time, but ABC seven,
3:49
Speaker 1: that same news outlet, did come out and confirm the
3:52
Speaker 1: name of the driver and the details on who he is,
3:56
Speaker 1: where he's from, when he got here, and all so
4:00
Speaker 1: more details on what he was on when this all happened.
4:03
Speaker 1: So I give them credit on this because they were
4:05
Speaker 1: forced to. Josh On pret Sing was the driver. Josh
4:10
Speaker 1: An Prete Sing came to America illegally, according to ABC
4:14
Speaker 1: seven in twenty twenty two.
4:16
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two, who is president?
4:19
Speaker 4: Then?
4:19
Speaker 1: Ah yeah, sorry, twenty one years old on all kinds
4:23
Speaker 1: of drugs. Story confirmed. We've got three people dead forward
4:27
Speaker 1: critical condition in the hospital as of last night, and
4:31
Speaker 1: it happened again. So you've got California issuing another commercial
4:36
Speaker 1: driver's license to somebody that shouldn't have gotten one, shouldn't
4:39
Speaker 1: have been in the country. And the positive on this
4:42
Speaker 1: is people demanded the information. You understand who this is
4:45
Speaker 1: now when this happened. You've got to go back to
4:47
Speaker 1: that horrific story just as horrific, maybe even worse last month,
4:51
Speaker 1: maybe a month and a half ago, on Florida's Turnpike,
4:55
Speaker 1: where the family was killed by an illegal commercial driver's
4:58
Speaker 1: license trucker. The same thing illegal U turn just creamed
5:02
Speaker 1: this family in a minivan, so they told us at
5:06
Speaker 1: the time, and it took way longer at the time
5:08
Speaker 1: to get the details on that driver until the pushback
5:10
Speaker 1: finally happened. They told us that that's an extremely isolated incident,
5:14
Speaker 1: is it. And you're gonna hear from people all the
5:17
Speaker 1: time that will tell you, and they'll be media outlets.
5:19
Speaker 2: They're telling you that Weil everybody deserves a chance. It
5:22
Speaker 2: doesn't matter that he was here illegally.
5:24
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Oh, it doesn't matter. Well, if he
5:27
Speaker 1: had been rounded up by all these ice movements that
5:31
Speaker 1: the protesters are all sat about, you'd have three people
5:34
Speaker 1: alive and four people not in the hospital this morning,
5:37
Speaker 1: and they just would have gone about their way on
5:39
Speaker 1: the I ten in California. So here's another example. Here's
5:43
Speaker 1: another example of why you need this and why they
5:45
Speaker 1: need to crack down on this. Apparently it's tougher in
5:47
Speaker 1: California other states. I know in the South, I know
5:49
Speaker 1: for Shore in Florida to Santa's cracked down on illegal truckers.
5:53
Speaker 1: And in Georgia, I think South Carolina and North Carolina,
5:56
Speaker 1: South Southeastern states definitely have I can imagine, don't know
6:00
Speaker 1: for a fact, but I can imagine that the state
6:02
Speaker 1: of California hasn't done a damn thing to crack down
6:04
Speaker 1: on illegal truckers. And here's your danger. Well, everybody deserves
6:08
Speaker 1: a chance at a working life. No, not when you
6:12
Speaker 1: put my life at risk or any other American's life
6:15
Speaker 1: at risk because you're high as a kite.
6:18
Speaker 2: You can't read.
6:19
Speaker 1: Road warnings and you don't know what you're doing, and
6:21
Speaker 1: you were issued god knows how a commercial driver's license
6:25
Speaker 1: and you only got into the country in twenty twenty two,
6:27
Speaker 1: and it was illegal.
6:29
Speaker 2: There's the bottom line.
6:30
Speaker 1: That's common sense to everybody, and anybody that tells you
6:34
Speaker 1: different is lying through their teeth. But it's another case,
6:36
Speaker 1: and it's so sad that it comes to this, that
6:39
Speaker 1: it comes to this. They were a really, really prominent
6:42
Speaker 1: story and this really is a big headline story comes
6:45
Speaker 1: out and actually says this.
6:47
Speaker 2: To point it out to everybody. But it did happen.
6:50
Speaker 1: But again, let's look at the positive and the takeaway
6:53
Speaker 1: wasn't right away that was the first initial story. It
6:55
Speaker 1: wasn't right away. Took a few hours. It actually took
6:58
Speaker 1: close to ten or twelve hours. But even that very
7:01
Speaker 1: same outlet, that same news report ABC seven in California
7:05
Speaker 1: out of the LA market, had to give you his name,
7:09
Speaker 1: that he was here illegal, all the details about the
7:12
Speaker 1: drugs and he was issued a commercial driver's license illegally
7:16
Speaker 1: by the state of California.
7:18
Speaker 2: We're winning.
7:19
Speaker 1: Eventually, they're going to have to start to tell the
7:21
Speaker 1: truth and why did that happen. Why because he demanded it,
7:25
Speaker 1: because their viewers, whoever it was, demanded it. And that's
7:27
Speaker 1: how you make change. That's why it's so important. It's
7:29
Speaker 1: like it seems like a silly thing. If you ever
7:31
Speaker 1: go like their own x account or their Facebook account
7:37
Speaker 1: or their news account, whatever it is, and people comment
7:39
Speaker 1: all the time they see that stuff, they really do.
7:41
Speaker 1: It seems like you're just throwing that comment or your
7:43
Speaker 1: opinion into the winds.
7:44
Speaker 2: They actually do see it.
7:45
Speaker 1: And if you hammer these media outlets enough about them
7:48
Speaker 1: lying or covering up a story or trying to push
7:50
Speaker 1: an agenda, they do actually get to it. And that's
7:53
Speaker 1: proof positive. You have to keep on them otherwise they'll
7:56
Speaker 1: never tell you the truth. Speaking of the media, and
7:59
Speaker 1: I guess that's our theme to the a lot of
8:00
Speaker 1: media stories. Well, we've got an we've got another drug
8:03
Speaker 1: boat that was that was blown up by the military,
8:07
Speaker 1: and I'll be completely honest with you, call me a
8:09
Speaker 1: horrible person all you want. You've seen them, You've seen
8:13
Speaker 1: these posted, maybe you saw it on your Facebook feed
8:15
Speaker 1: or right here on X and you see the video
8:17
Speaker 1: and it's always like a like an infrared video. They
8:20
Speaker 1: show the drug boat they're always fast boasts, they're like flying,
8:23
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden you see that flash
8:25
Speaker 1: of light and the military got them with a sidewinder missile.
8:29
Speaker 1: I feel no sympathy, certainly no empathy for the drug
8:33
Speaker 1: boats that are blown up. In fact, I kind of
8:35
Speaker 1: look forward to those videos. I'm just being completely opening
8:38
Speaker 1: up and being completely honest with you, But I have
8:41
Speaker 1: a feeling that you're thinking the same thing, because what
8:44
Speaker 1: do we all know, they're not citizens coming here, they're
8:49
Speaker 1: not there, They're drug boats. Okay, Now, this got to
8:53
Speaker 1: the White House press room yesterday where President Trump, more
8:57
Speaker 1: specifically Marco Rubiu explained what they're doing with these things
9:01
Speaker 1: and nip right in the button. This is where Marco
9:03
Speaker 1: Ruby is like the most improved player. Nip it right
9:05
Speaker 1: in the bud. The narrative they're trying to push where
9:07
Speaker 1: these are just we don't know, we don't know who
9:11
Speaker 1: these people.
9:12
Speaker 2: In the boats are. Well, they squashed that right away.
9:15
Speaker 5: Well, I mean the question is, bottom line, these are
9:17
Speaker 5: drug boats.
9:18
Speaker 6: If people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up,
9:20
Speaker 6: stop sending drugs to the United States.
9:24
Speaker 5: States, well, these are all in international waters. The boats well,
9:28
Speaker 5: that's a different matter. You're talking about a law enforcement matter.
9:30
Speaker 6: In this particular case, there are people traveling on international
9:33
Speaker 6: waters headed towards the United States with hostilities in mind,
9:36
Speaker 6: which includes flooding our country with dangerous, deadly drugs, and
9:39
Speaker 6: they're going to be stopped. And that's what's happening. And
9:43
Speaker 6: in the case last week you saw there was a submarine.
9:45
Speaker 6: It was a submarine. It was a submersible. That's a
9:46
Speaker 6: drug boat.
9:47
Speaker 5: All the way through. We know what these boats are.
9:49
Speaker 5: The President just said it. We tracked them from.
9:51
Speaker 2: The I love it.
9:54
Speaker 1: It's first of all, he did such a good job
9:57
Speaker 1: in explaining it right there. They're drug boats. We know
9:59
Speaker 1: there are there international waters. Last week of submarine, this
10:01
Speaker 1: time was a fast boat.
10:03
Speaker 2: We blew it up. End of story. I love it.
10:05
Speaker 2: But what do they do?
10:06
Speaker 1: But because it's coming from this administration, what are they
10:08
Speaker 1: trying to push they what do they trying to say?
10:10
Speaker 1: We don't know, we don't know what these boats. And
10:15
Speaker 1: they'll come up with a narrative of the words what
10:17
Speaker 1: these sailors are sealers. Oh, I'm sorry, call me crazy.
10:21
Speaker 1: If I see a submarine headed towards the US at
10:25
Speaker 1: a high rate of speed, forgive me if I'm wrong here,
10:29
Speaker 1: but I tend to assume that they're not headed to
10:31
Speaker 1: Florida for a family vacation at Disney World.
10:33
Speaker 2: Okay, everybody with an.
10:35
Speaker 1: Ounce of common sense knows they're drug boats. But don't
10:39
Speaker 1: let that stop the media and the famous Democrat media
10:42
Speaker 1: outlets from turning the other page on this.
10:45
Speaker 2: It might be love him or hate him.
10:48
Speaker 1: It might be Trump's greatest accomplishment, the greatest accomplishment of
10:51
Speaker 1: this administration. He's gotten prominent Democrat voices to defend drug cartels,
10:57
Speaker 1: like that's really happening.
10:59
Speaker 2: You don't believe me. Here's Jessica Tarlov on the View.
11:02
Speaker 7: I remember the day the first boat was struck and
11:06
Speaker 7: jesse told me, do you want to be on the
11:08
Speaker 7: side of narco terrorists? And I said no, not especially, like,
11:11
Speaker 7: let's see where this goes. And now we're up to
11:13
Speaker 7: multiple votes and it's not just Venezuelan boats. The Colombians
11:16
Speaker 7: say that one of the boats was theirs, and that
11:18
Speaker 7: two Colombia nationals, I think two or three were murdered
11:23
Speaker 7: when they were struck in that they weren't drug traffickers.
11:26
Speaker 7: Now do I know if that's the case or not,
11:29
Speaker 7: I'm not sure, but there is a reason that we're
11:30
Speaker 7: going to let.
11:31
Speaker 5: That stop you.
11:32
Speaker 2: Well, don't last I said it was on the View.
11:34
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. It was on the five, and it's fantastic.
11:36
Speaker 5: You know.
11:36
Speaker 1: I used to think that she was just on there
11:39
Speaker 1: as kind of like, you know, like the fodder. You know,
11:42
Speaker 1: CNN has Scott Jennings on there and they try to
11:44
Speaker 1: beat him up, but he does a great job. And
11:46
Speaker 1: I thought I thought Jessic Tarlov was kind of like
11:48
Speaker 1: playing a role on Fox to try to just egg
11:51
Speaker 1: them on. She's great for content to get. She gets
11:54
Speaker 1: everybody worked ups, talk about comments on their social media.
11:57
Speaker 1: Everybody gets so worked up about her, and I've always
11:59
Speaker 1: tried to tell people, look, she's there for like, it's
12:02
Speaker 1: not comic relief, but it's like interplay, because otherwise on
12:05
Speaker 1: the five you have everybody, five people agreeing with each
12:08
Speaker 1: other and you don't have anything.
12:09
Speaker 2: No, I think she actually I think she's that lost.
12:14
Speaker 2: I really do.
12:14
Speaker 1: I think she after hearing that, well, we don't know,
12:18
Speaker 1: you know, I know I don't want to defend Narco.
12:20
Speaker 1: Do I know that there are ordinary citizens? No, but
12:24
Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to do this. Okay, they're
12:27
Speaker 1: losing this in there. Everybody looks at this. How can
12:30
Speaker 1: you look at a video of a fast boat heading
12:34
Speaker 1: towards US shores and not assume that they're up to
12:38
Speaker 1: bad things?
12:39
Speaker 2: Well, we can't. We can't have him do this.
12:41
Speaker 1: He's got them defending Narco terrorists, which again, by the way,
12:45
Speaker 1: was a massive, massive part. They try to pretend that
12:48
Speaker 1: all of this is just a surprise and they're doing
12:50
Speaker 1: this without any approval or they didn't tell anybody they
12:53
Speaker 1: were going to do this. I remember distinctly in the
12:56
Speaker 1: campaign at late twenty twenty four that they said that
12:59
Speaker 1: Trump on stage at rallies saying they were gonna do this.
13:02
Speaker 1: They're gonna blow up Narco boats. I remember him saying that. Personally, Uh,
13:07
Speaker 1: I don't know. They pretend to forget who the hell knows?
13:10
Speaker 1: All right's get out of that, get into some sports entertainment,
13:13
Speaker 1: slash media, slash TV.
13:15
Speaker 2: I don't know.
13:16
Speaker 1: The pushback has been really something, and I think this
13:19
Speaker 1: kind of like transcends a sports story.
13:21
Speaker 2: I really do.
13:22
Speaker 4: Now.
13:22
Speaker 2: The super Bowl itself is uh.
13:25
Speaker 1: It's just such a huge iconic media event, right, the
13:30
Speaker 1: all American event.
13:31
Speaker 2: It's the Super Bowl has become a holiday.
13:34
Speaker 1: This is why I always say we should make it
13:35
Speaker 1: Super Saturday, so you have Sunday to recover.
13:37
Speaker 2: It's become that big.
13:38
Speaker 1: So it's something controversial happens, the NFL embraces it, loves it,
13:42
Speaker 1: triples down on it, and they love this. Roger Cannell,
13:46
Speaker 1: commissioner of the NFL, it's my personal enemy. Well not personally,
13:49
Speaker 1: but you know, no fan of the guy in this
13:52
Speaker 1: one clip shows you that he could not possibly care
13:55
Speaker 1: less about what the NFL audience wants. This is the
13:57
Speaker 1: same guy pushing for international games. They want teams in Europe,
14:00
Speaker 1: they want teams in South America, they want an eighteen
14:03
Speaker 1: game schedule. All fans everywhere are pushing against this. And
14:07
Speaker 1: the controversy has come up now about you know what.
14:10
Speaker 1: The halftime entertainer Bad Money, who has outwardly said he
14:14
Speaker 1: doesn't like America, wants to make this all in Spanish. Recently,
14:19
Speaker 1: at a Major League Baseball playoff game, refused to stand
14:22
Speaker 1: for the national anthem. I know if you saw that one,
14:25
Speaker 1: see now you've got to understand how this is not
14:27
Speaker 1: going to change.
14:28
Speaker 2: I've seen the petitions. I think somebody put a change.
14:30
Speaker 1: Dot org one here and they try to get the
14:32
Speaker 1: NFL to drop Bad Money for the halftime. Every time
14:36
Speaker 1: this gets more media attention, they'll triple down because they
14:39
Speaker 1: see this as a win, because it just means more attention.
14:42
Speaker 1: They don't care about the controversy, they don't care about
14:45
Speaker 1: what the guy's all about. They don't care about the music.
14:47
Speaker 1: I'll bet you a shiny new dime right now that
14:50
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell has absolutely no idea what Bad Bunnies quote
14:54
Speaker 1: unquote music is all about. What he wants is the
14:57
Speaker 1: media attention. So it should not surprise as you at
15:00
Speaker 1: all that they're tripling down and defending Bad Money. Guys,
15:04
Speaker 1: this super Bowl halftime show is not going to change.
15:06
Speaker 1: When you guys chose Bad Money for the super Bowl,
15:08
Speaker 1: there was some blowback from that. I would wonder what
15:10
Speaker 1: you make of that situation and what went into the
15:12
Speaker 1: decision to choose Bad Money as your super Bowl halftime performer.
15:17
Speaker 4: He's one of the leading and most popular entertainers in
15:20
Speaker 4: the world. That's what we try to achieve. It's an
15:24
Speaker 4: important stage for us, it's an important element to the
15:28
Speaker 4: entertainment value.
15:31
Speaker 5: It's carefully thought through.
15:33
Speaker 4: I would say that I'm not sure we've ever selected
15:36
Speaker 4: an artist where we didn't have some blowback or criticism
15:39
Speaker 4: that they love.
15:40
Speaker 1: They love the blowback, they love the criticism. And I'll
15:43
Speaker 1: say this, you know, I don't know whether I know.
15:46
Speaker 1: I think Turning Point USA was trying to organize this.
15:48
Speaker 1: I don't know whether they're going to officially confirm an
15:51
Speaker 1: alternate halftime show. And before I was like kind of
15:54
Speaker 1: like iffy on this, I don't know, is that going
15:57
Speaker 1: to be kind of goofy. I'm all in favor of now,
16:00
Speaker 1: just because of the arrogance of him in the NFL.
16:03
Speaker 1: I'm all in favor of it. I hope they do
16:05
Speaker 1: have something, and I hope people do tune it in.
16:06
Speaker 1: It'll probably be live streaming, and I hope they get massive,
16:09
Speaker 1: massive numbers. I hope so because I will watch that too.
16:12
Speaker 1: I will get away from the NFL halftime show and
16:14
Speaker 1: I will go to that. But here's how this works.
16:18
Speaker 1: Regardless of what happens. Let's say it to some kind
16:21
Speaker 1: of a streaming show, an alternative one that Turning Point
16:24
Speaker 1: puts together, and it gets just millions, tens of millions
16:28
Speaker 1: of views, Like really takes a chunk out of the
16:31
Speaker 1: NFL halftime show. I'm just warning now ahead of time
16:34
Speaker 1: this is what's going to happen. It's not like people
16:37
Speaker 1: will turn off their actual TV and go to this thing.
16:40
Speaker 1: They'll just you know, have it onto the side or
16:42
Speaker 1: a phone or whatever it is. And regardless of what
16:45
Speaker 1: happens or how big any kind of an alternative show
16:48
Speaker 1: is going to be, the NFL is going to claim
16:50
Speaker 1: it was nothing. That's just gonna happen. It's just how
16:52
Speaker 1: they work. You gotta understand how powerful the NFL is,
16:54
Speaker 1: and they'll say, no, it looks you know, our uh
16:57
Speaker 1: Nelson Media research says that no difference whatsoever, and it
17:01
Speaker 1: was the biggest halftime show of all the time, which
17:03
Speaker 1: they say every single year, so understand that from them.
17:06
Speaker 1: But there is way this can make a difference. You know,
17:09
Speaker 1: who will pay attention to how many eyeballs were on
17:13
Speaker 1: whatever alternative streaming halftime show pops up.
17:17
Speaker 2: The advertisers.
17:18
Speaker 1: The advertisers will because if it happens again next Super Bowl,
17:23
Speaker 1: they'll put it together again. It'll be more organized, it'll
17:26
Speaker 1: be bigger artists to compete with the NFL and advertisers
17:29
Speaker 1: who are looking for a deal. A cheaper priced ad
17:34
Speaker 1: will turn to that instead of the NFL, and that
17:36
Speaker 1: will get the NFL's attention.
17:38
Speaker 2: That's how you do it.
17:39
Speaker 1: So I was iffy before, but now that I heard
17:41
Speaker 1: that arrogant d bag triple down on Bad Bunny and
17:45
Speaker 1: not listen to the audience whatsoever.
17:47
Speaker 2: I hope this.
17:47
Speaker 1: I hope this alternative halftime show for the NFL is
17:51
Speaker 1: for Turning Port whoever organizes it to compete with them.
17:54
Speaker 2: I hope it's huge. I'll support it all I can,
17:57
Speaker 2: I hope.
17:57
Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, let's wrap it up with something
17:59
Speaker 1: kind of fun, but not fun if you were a
18:01
Speaker 1: career barista at Starbucks. Not like the poor college kids
18:05
Speaker 1: or high school kids just trying to get along in
18:07
Speaker 1: a part time job.
18:08
Speaker 2: I'm talking about like.
18:09
Speaker 1: The baristas who see this as like a career, you
18:12
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like full time, which is never
18:15
Speaker 1: designed to be. That's not the business model. Well, it's
18:17
Speaker 1: bad news because when you go on strike, and they
18:20
Speaker 1: did many times. There have been many Starbucks strikes over
18:23
Speaker 1: the past like five years, like a lot. Remember they
18:25
Speaker 1: unionized on the West Coast. The baristas unionized and then
18:29
Speaker 1: they demanded twenty five thirty I think maybe in California
18:33
Speaker 1: went up to thirty five bucks an hour.
18:34
Speaker 4: They want.
18:37
Speaker 1: Slinging coffee. Yeah, exactly. Well, what's the natural business response
18:41
Speaker 1: to that?
18:43
Speaker 2: Automation?
18:44
Speaker 1: Not only automation, but Starbucks CEO recently shared some ways
18:47
Speaker 1: to Fortune magazine that they're integrating AI. That's right into
18:51
Speaker 1: their business. Artificial intelligence is coming to us all and
18:54
Speaker 1: it's not all a bad thing, but it would be
18:56
Speaker 1: for the baristas. So here's your deal. Name is Brian Nickel.
19:01
Speaker 1: He talked about ways they're planning to integrate AI into
19:04
Speaker 1: their business model. And the intriguing thing is some sort
19:07
Speaker 1: of AI barista that could predict a customer's order. It
19:10
Speaker 1: would be through the online process, I suppose, and you
19:13
Speaker 1: get there and they're ready and they have your order already.
19:15
Speaker 1: Bottom line is this is this is what this means
19:19
Speaker 1: automation because you, as a worker group priced yourself out
19:24
Speaker 1: of the market and it's coming.
19:26
Speaker 2: Didn't have to be that way, but they unionized.
19:28
Speaker 1: They demanded thirty plus bucks an hour in California, despite
19:32
Speaker 1: the cost of living. I understand all of that, and
19:34
Speaker 1: I want people to do well, but this should shock
19:38
Speaker 1: no one. And let me tell you, let me throw
19:40
Speaker 1: this one last thing in there. It's Starbucks we're talking about.
19:43
Speaker 1: We've all seen the controversial things about writing nasty things
19:46
Speaker 1: on people's cups, and you know, because we're in a
19:48
Speaker 1: Trump shirt or something like this. Just ask yourself this
19:51
Speaker 1: one question. Do you think the Starbucks customer base would
19:55
Speaker 1: really mind an automated barista if they got the drink right?
20:00
Speaker 2: Don't think they would. So I think the briest is
20:03
Speaker 2: gonna lose on this one, but we'll see, all right.
20:06
Speaker 1: The main takeaway with the horrific, deadly trucker crash in California,
20:11
Speaker 1: there is a bright takeaway on this, and this is
20:13
Speaker 1: why you have to stay on these media outlets and
20:15
Speaker 1: demand transparency. They did start to tell the truth. That's
20:19
Speaker 1: the shocking thing about this. They did start to tell
20:21
Speaker 1: the truth and report the story. And now it's everywhere
20:24
Speaker 1: that this guy is illegal. When he came in in
20:26
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, it was high and they gave his name.
20:28
Speaker 1: Even that's a change, and that's because people demanded the truth.
20:33
Speaker 2: Keep up with that. We're almost into front. God, tomorrow's
20:35
Speaker 2: gonna be Friday. Can't wait to see what's in the news.
20:37
Speaker 1: Who the hell knows what we're gonna talk about it
20:39
Speaker 1: and keep you out of the lunacy, make you a
20:42
Speaker 1: free thinker. Thanks for finding the Wicked Radio livestream podcast
