  Speaker 2: can you do the rundown? Do you have that available?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Yessoutely? Okay, real quickly.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: I basically asked it to put together a bill Handle
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: Morning show one hour. So it went through the opening monologue,
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: hot topics, but then said handle it or not, where
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Bill presents controversial listener questions, then deep dive in depth
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: conversations with guests, experts, Bill fixes it, and it's a
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: call in or submitted questions, Handle the heat, rapid fire
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: Q and A from listeners. And then the closing bit
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: is funny fake ad or weird law of the day.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: That's it. Oh so they sort of mixed up handle
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: on the law. Yeah, this is what it pulled from
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: obviously the Okay, So now, and I have not heard
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: this before.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: We are having artificial intelligence create a segment, this segment
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: of the show, which I didn't do, and I want
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to listen to it at the same time you are.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Listening to it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: I really are you still talking?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not saying a word.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is truly manufactured by AI.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I had nothing to do with this.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: All right, cono, Good morning world, or at least the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: unfortunate part of it. Tuned in right now, I'm Bill
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Handle and this is the show where common sense goes
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to court, gets delayed for six months, and still walks
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: out with a parking ticket.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: The big boogeyman in the room AI Artificial intelligence. You've
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: heard the headlines, right, AI is going to take over everything.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: AI can write novels, AI can do your taxes. AI
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: can replace your therapist. Yeah, well guess what. AI can
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: also make a pizza, write a love letter, and steal
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: your job, all before you finish your coffee.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Let's break it down, folks.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: AI is already replacing cashiers, paralegals, copywriters, customer service agents,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and get this, radio hosts. That's right, somewhere out there,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: there's a synthetic voice trying to sound just like me,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: except it doesn't need bathroom breaks, it won't unionize, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: can't be sued for defamation.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yet you know who's safe from AI?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Plumbers because until a robot can crawl under your sink,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: avoid the spider nest and not complain about it. Wan,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the plumber still has job security. Same with electricians, roofers,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and whoever knows how to fix your Wi Fi without crying.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: But you, you, with the marketing degree and the resume
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: that says detail oriented team player, You're first on the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: chopping block. Now, Silica Valley will tell you AI will
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: make our lives easier. Sure, right after it makes half
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the population unemployed. They'll say, this is just like the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Industrial Revolution. Yeah, except back then, the machines didn't write
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: poetry or flirt with your girlfriend. Let me be clear.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: AI isn't smart. It's just fast. AI is a glorified
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: copy machine with access to the entire Internet and zero shame.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: It doesn't understand, it doesn't feel, and it's sure as
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: heck doesn't worry about rent. Here's my advice, learn a
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: skill it can't fake, like critical thinking, plumbing, or saying
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: no to a meeting. Stop relying on buzzwords like synergy.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: The robots already speak fluent nonsense and most importantly, make
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: yourself too annoying to replace. Loud, opinionated, unpredictable. Be like me,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: because trust me, no AI wants to handle that. Here's
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Amy King live from the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
• 4:59

• 5:19
  Speaker 6: go to Will Cole Schreiber.
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: Yes, we have quite the backup on the four h
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: five South at sunset. Looks like a truckload of tomatoes overturned,
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: and we have a massive cleanup that needs to happen
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: pretty quickly. Right now, it looks like everyone is squeezing
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: over into the far left lane to pass. Bill Handle
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: is a stupid moron with an ugly face and a
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: big butt, and his butt smells and he likes to
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: kiss his own butt. With Southern California's most accurate traffic reports.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: I'm Will Cole Schreiber.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: At first of all, I didn't know Amy or Will
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: or part of that segment that is one hundred percent
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: manufactured by artificial intelligence, even to the point where at
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the time that was put together, that was the traffic
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: at that moment.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: And wow, but obviously it went off the rails at
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: the end there, because.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Will would never say anything.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Like that, No, of course not. You know, you have
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: to know that. You know that sounded awfully good.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Now you could tell it was a little bit off
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a little bit, but it's getting better and better.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I was stunned at how good it is.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Will you know you were looking and going, oh my god, yeah, Amy,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: what did you.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Think I sounded like a computer? Well you always do?
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Do I sound like a computer?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: All right?
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: What Will said? Okay?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Fair enough, all right, we are done. That was fascinating.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: That really was I I was. It was freaky, it was.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: It was pretty good. That's a I replacing all of us.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And I thought I was exempt. Huh, there's no chance.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be coming up Monday morning.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a lot cheaper to run this show.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you expenses are going to drop considerably. All right,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: he by am six forty bill handle here Today we
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: take you back through the top stories and well not
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the top, sort of the medium stories and moments of
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. All right, a story that I looked
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: at when oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah yeah. I'm in
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the middle of that one scoring a fake ID. It's
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: sort of a passage of youth, including my kids, party
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: yours because you're going to join a bar.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: You want to go to a bar, have a good time.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: You're seventeen, eighteen, nineteen years old, and you got to
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: be twenty one. So what do people do. They buy IDs,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: That's what they do.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: They buy IDs.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And it used to be pretty easy to fake an
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: ID for a couple of reasons. First of all, a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: bouncer at a bar, well just it's dark, looks at
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the ID, looks at the picture, sort of kind of
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: looks like you doesn't care. Well, the rules have gotten
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: really tight, and underage people in the bar is a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: big hit for a bar. So now they're being more
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: careful and it's easier to see who has a fake idea.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Used to be fake IDs, somebody in the dorm made them,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: or some somebody made them in a garage, usually some
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: young person. Today it is a serious counterfeitter because you've
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: got holograms, barcodes, laser engraving, you've got electronic scanners that
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: bars now use.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Not so easy. So what do you do?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Well, the fakes have to be created with sophisticated equipment
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: and materials, and Neil can talk all about that, not
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that he does fake IDs, but works with the kinds
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of sophisticated materials that I'm discussing here. So, Neil, if
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: you were to have to make a fake ID that
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: would pass Muster how difficult is that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: It's it's pretty difficult.
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: You would need you know, you can get laser engravers
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: and stuff like that from China for any you know,
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: that are inexpensive, but you need a handful of items.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Whereas before you could use a you could use a.
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: Black pencil, colored pencil and a razor blade back in
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: the day and you could forge them that you remember
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: when they used to shine flashlights behind them. That was
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: to see the cut lines because people would replace photos
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: with someone else's photo.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Nowadays, you need to be able.
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: To read and write a magnetic strip on the back.
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: You need to be able to read and write that
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: barcode you talked about, and do the holograms. I have
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: everything here to do it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I could absolutely, I know you could probably pull it
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: up off and considering what they pay here, I'm not
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: going to say you do do it, but I'm just
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: gonna say it's a nice.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Nice street.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where you get them down in MacArthur Park.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: But you know, I mean there's micro printing data chips there,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: as you said, ultraviolet features. It's almost like counterfeit money.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: That's so difficult to print. So just a quick by
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: story I'm gonna just spin it off into a KFI
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: a KFI Premiere Radio.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Story.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I'm syndicated by Premier Radio. Neil was syndicated by Premier Radio.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: So one time Rush Limbaugh was on vacation and I
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: was asked to fill in for him on his national
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: show and I lasted two days. And I'll tell you why,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: because of a story like this. So remember Jenna and
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Barbara Bush, the twins George W. Bush's daughters got picked
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: up in Texas and a bar with fake ID.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: They weren't twenty one. And I talked about that on
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the air, and I said that this.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Is what makes America so great because they were picked up,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: they were prosecuted like anybody else. And if the sheriff
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: had even called up or the local authorities had called
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: up the President of the United States about his daughters,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: or the President called him, he would have said them,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: as President, unfortunately, that's not your jurisdiction, and we're going
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: to treat your daughters the same as anybody else.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Of course, George W. Would never do that.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: And I said, this really is America great, because can
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: you imagine the daughter of the president of Columbia, for example,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: getting arrested, being charged and going through the system, that
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: person would be killed. I mean instantly, the person would die.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: And so I said that, and I said, this is
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: what makes America so.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Great, because the law really does treat.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: People, for the most part the same. No one is
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: above the law, and not the president's daughter daughters.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Uh, not the guy on the street.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Who commits a crime. Well, and there's and there were
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: phone calls because that's what Rush Limbaugh did. I don't
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: know how many phone calls I got emails, I mean
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: in the thousands that came in handles a wild eyes,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: wild ass liberal. He's just saying that because George W.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Bush is a Republican and that's the only reason the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: authorities went after.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: His daughters, because they're Republicans.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: And I came back with, well, how about Billy Carter,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: you know, who got nailed, or Bill Clinton's step brother
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: who got nailed.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: You're just a wild ass liberal, that's all we care about.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: That's my story of false IDs.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Just thought i'd share that with you, and it's a
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: make America great story because in most ways America is great,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and I think for the.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Most part, people are treated differently.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: There are some exceptions like we're talking about, but for
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the most part, it's uh, it's pretty good in that regard.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Law is held to a pretty high esteem here in
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the United States.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: And if you're going to want to.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Buy a fake a d I d Neil, what are
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: you charging these days for one? I mean, they're pretty pricey,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: aren't they.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Hey, knowing how to be bad isn't being bad?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, let me refrase. Okay, that's fair.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: No, that's fair. That's fair.
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: I haven't had to forge things on ach, but it's
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: been for legal departments.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Actually, Okay, I get it, So let me rephrase that
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: because I was I said it wrong.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: How much do you charge for fake ID?
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: For you?
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: For you?
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: For you? It's like it's like.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: My friend, you know, my friend do Be who flew
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: for l All Airlines and I on your last flight, Dubie,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: You've got to say.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna be going we're gonna.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Be at thirty five thousand dollars altitude, but for you
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: thirty two thousand feet.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, enough of that, Yeah, yeah, okay.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kfi AM
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Handle here KFI AM six forty. We're flipping through the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: highlight reel. No, we're not, because you don't flip through
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: anything on radio, and they're the highlights.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know, And there's no reels.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: It's all digitally found in the bowels of KFI and
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: pulling out some of the worst moments of twenty twenty five.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: And we are waiting for Petros to join us, because Petros,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: of course, one of the sportscasters, extraordinary, probably one of
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the well I love Petros and he's on a five
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: seventy sports.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Oh there you are, Petros.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Good morning, God Bell, how are you.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I'm good, Thanks for joining us.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I know you're kind of busy this morning, and I
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: have one question I want to ask you that you
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: know I'm not the maven of sports. You and I, well,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: you have made a lot of fun with me over
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the years about how I know so little about it,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: But correct me if I'm wrong on this one. First
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: of all, the game, Saturday's game was the first full
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: baseball game that I've watched on TV in probably fifty years. Right,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I am not a baseball Yeah, that's a long time.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I've seen bits and pieces, but this was the whole game,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong on this one. The Blue
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Jays outplayed the Dodgers throughout the entire series. They were
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: just a better team, and yet of course they lost.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm saying because lightning in a bottle in a
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: few instances would you respond to that, well.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: That was some narrative from some of the bitter Canadian
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: types from the Toronto side of it after the game,
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: because the Dodgers just didn't hit well throughout, I mean
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: ever since the second half of that extra innings game,
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: all the way through. They just did not have the
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: offense that they normally have. And you could say that
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: the Blue Jays were stingy. You can say that the
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: Blue Jays were tough. You could say that the Blue
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: Jays were very stubborn as far as letting the Dodgers
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: have any kind of positive feelings or big innings. But
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: I don't know if you could say that the better
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: team because they I mean, it's a seven game series.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: You have to win four games, as you know, to
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: win the championship. Of course, Dodgers won four. I mean
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: they won four games.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: But let me ask you that if you have how
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: much much would you say is back to lightning in
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: a bottle where if you're looking at it big picture,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong on this because Caldro brought this up too.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, you win, you win.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: You can call it whatever you want, and you win,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: and that's the better team.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: That's okay.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that can be an argument and certainlis with the Jaysay.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: So in terms of magic moments, I've heard a game
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: for the Ages series of the Ages.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Do you want to come in on that and do
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: you buy that?
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah? I think that as we've kind of watched this
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: Dodger team over the years, our perspective has kind of
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: been skewed because you see things, especially in the last
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: couple of years, that you just don't see in baseball
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: that no one's ever seen a guy like shohey Otani
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: do what he's doing. And it's really hard to compare
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: it to anything because it's not something that's really ever
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: happened before. So that alone, that part of it alone
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: is pretty astounding. And then the factor in what Yoshinobu
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: Yamamoto did, which pitchers don't really do anymore, go on
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: no rest and get out there and look ice cold
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: even though they're in the toughest situation that you can
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: imagine in sports. That's the kind of stuff that made
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: it really special. And then an eighteen inning game, like
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: you said, an extra innings game. I mean, I understand
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: your perspective about the better team, but I work in
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: football and deal with coaches after losses all the time,
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: and everybody always says, well, if only this happened, if
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: only this happened. But what about this this was? I mean,
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: the margins are really, really, really thin when you're trying
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: for a championship, and we saw that very much throughout
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: the series.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: When are they ever going to return to a player,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a pitcher doing all nine innings. It's you know, when
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I started watching baseball. To give you an idea, the
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: last time I actually watched the game, watched the game
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: and went to a game and actually knew who the
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: players were. It was Don Drysdale, Sandy Cofax with the pitchers.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Jim Gillian was first, Mary Wills was shortstop. Seriously, that's
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: when I knew all the So it's been a couple
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: of years, but Dodgers, but pictures went nine innings unless
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: they were thrown out, and just imploding, why if they
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: do that anymore?
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: Well, this guy Yamamoto had a pension for doing it
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: in Japan, and then all of a sudden he was
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: able to do it this year. But it doesn't happen
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: anymore because pitchers throw a lot harder all the time
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: than they used to. They are always searching for something
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: they call spin rate now or velocity, and that leads
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: to more tired arms. It leads to a lot more surgeries,
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: Tommy John surgery. A lot of these guys have Tommy
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: John surgery before their career even gets started, when they're young.
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: And I think it's the pressure that we put on
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: the arms of the pitcher playing year round that they
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: play year round baseball, you know, in youth baseball now
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: on it it tires them out, and everything's just become
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: a lot more specialized. And the real answer, probably deep down,
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: is that everybody's a lot softer than they used to be.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'll buy that.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: And you know, short of either a no hitter or
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: a perfect game, you're just not going to see a
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: pitcher go all the way, is that correct?
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: You just well, you see it. But it just happens
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: a lot less, probably seventy five percent less of the
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: time than it used to although maybe with the way
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: that Yamamoto performed in this World series, maybe you'll see
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: a trend go back to that. I mean, we've had
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: baseball for over one hundred years, and trends kind of
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: change and things kind of move, and we end up
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: going back to a lot of stuff. It happens in football.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Too, all right.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I know you're going to be really business warning covering
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: what is happening.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I just want to quickly remind you.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Don't forget your can of gasoline and your matches, Okay,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: enjoy yourself.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: Well I have that, and yeah, I have that, and
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: I also have my hairspray and my liner. So we're good.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all good. Petros, thanks for taking the time.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Take take care anytime.
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: Bell. I'm here for you whenever you want.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I know, I love it. I love having you on.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know why we don't do enough of that.
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: Alright, I handle on the news. I'll come back.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I love it. I love it when you do.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: All right, so, Petro, so well, they'll be all day
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: coverage today on A five seven E l A Sports,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: and obviously LA is celebrating in a very big, big way.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not because you know eh, but this is a
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: big deal. Okay, I wanna yeah, a big deal.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Bill it is.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: But you know it's a big deal when when the
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Lakers win, it's a big deal.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I'm just not in I'm just not into that stuff.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: To be fair, the Lakers haven't won much in a while.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: No, when the Lakers did win, that was another one
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: when they were the dynasty that absolutely dominated, uh the
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: NBA or the LFB or the s whatever. And now
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: prey five am sixty forty don't handle here, And today
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: we're taking you back through the top, well, the medium,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: the lower end, stories and moments of twenty twenty five.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I want to end the show with the concept of
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: space ads, a sky full of ads. Now, I'm not
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: talking about skywriting, which are ads up in the air.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Even those drones that fly around those are kind of
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: neat how they can. It's in lieu of fireworks. The
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: drones make American flags and you see all kinds of
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: fun stuff that you can do with drones. But that
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: is near what's right on top of it's a few
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: hundred feet up in the air.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: These are ads in space.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: And there's a Russian company that's doing exactly that they've
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: actually sent up a prototype already. The company is Avant Space.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: It has deployed the first space media satellite into Earth's
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: orbit and it's it's a prototype for a quote planned
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: fleet of small, low cost laser equipped satellites designed to
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: and here's according to the Scientific American And they described
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: it to emblazon the Earth's sky with corporate logos, QR
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: codes and other consumer cultural ephemera.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: I even had to look that up. What the hell's ephemera.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Something it's temporary.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly right. It's something that's very temporary, like fireworks.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: And so imagine this. You're talking about looking up at
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the night sky and it's only going to be between
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: this hilarious how they describe it between dusk and daylight.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Wow, really, thank you for telling us that, because up.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: In the middle of the sun, in the middle of
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: the day, yeah, you'd be able to see it, right,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you, you geniuses. So it's only at night, and
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: they say it's only going to be above populated cities
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: because the big concerned act is telescopes that would be
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: wiped out. They wouldn't be able to see the stars.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of weird. But that seems to
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: be the major complaint. Now a lot of scientists are
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: a little upset about this, having these giant billboards up
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: in the sky, and I'm talking about filling the sky up.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: And it's cheap too. They're saying sixty five million dollars.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: They can put these puppies up and make a bucket
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: of money.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Is anything stopping them? Is there a los stopping them?
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: You know, space is internationalized by treaty. It belongs to nobody.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Now everybody has their own, every country has its own airspace.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: But it only goes up to the stratosphere. After that
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: it's an open playground.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: You can no one can tell anybody what to put up,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: what not to put up. Elon Musk, now he is
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: because it's an American company, SpaceX.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: He has to comply.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: And if you're launching rockets off the United States, you
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: have to comply.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: The FAA actually controls that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: But you go to other countries, they're by treaty, they
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: can do whatever the hell they want. And that is
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: the fear, and scientists are going nuts. Can you imagine
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: you walk out? Not that we don't have a lot
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: of pollution with billboards already as you drive down the street.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: But you look up and the sky is filled with
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: effectively what these drones can do, and it's all pretty
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: neat stuff.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: And my favor of it depends on.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: What they show up there, to be honest with you,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: all right, Neil, stop shaking your head.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: We're done, guys, all right, thank you for tuning in.
