Now, yeah, that's sweet. Well I 124 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 4: knew those sweetest fishes were too good to be true 125 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 4: because they're too yummy. There was a short period of 126 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 4: time when Oreo was doing sweetish fish centers, and I'm 127 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 4: here to tell you that, like it made it to 128 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 4: my grocery list immediately when I heard about it. 129 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: Oh, I gotta find this. Yeah, yeah, can you imagine that? 130 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: It wasn't It didn't live up to the cell. It 131 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: was Swedish fish flavor. I thought it would be like 132 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: that hard jelly in between the chocolate cookies, you know, Okay, 133 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: that's the cell. 134 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 4: But it was. 135 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: It just tasted like the hard jelly, but not as much. 136 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: But they're on the list and rounding out the worst. 137 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: And this is the least worst is the vanilla tutsie roll. 138 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 4: Boy, I haven't seen that in a while. 139 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: You have the normal tutsi role, which is like brown 140 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: and red wrapper. Vanilla has got the white. It almost 141 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: looks like it looks like the Israeli flag that does 142 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: not have nearly as much arstic. 143 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 4: So good job. State of Florida. 144 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: The first Lady of the State of Florida, Casey DeSantis, 145 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: she's the one running this operation. 146 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: We started with a baby formula. We found sixteen of 147 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 3: twenty four baymula formulas had elevated levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium, 148 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: and mercury. By so our next step is into the candy. 149 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: Well, wait, what did they find in baby I sounded 150 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: like the periodic table there. 151 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: The elevated levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury. 152 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 4: Wow, that's that's a concern in baby formula. 153 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: Ply so our next step is into the candy. Elevated 154 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 3: level of arsenic sometimes thirty and forty times what other 155 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: foods might presumably have. So it's very problematic that we're 156 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: finding it, and also that the parents don't know when 157 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: they're going and they're giving their kids nerds or twigs 158 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 3: or what have you that there are are there's arsenic 159 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 3: in it, and obviously arsenic in aggregate can be a 160 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 3: big problem, especially for little kids. 161 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 4: Twigs, I didn't even hit Twigs. 162 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 5: That's one of my favorites, that's everybody's favorite. 163 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 4: I mean that they really nailed it with that Twix. 164 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 2: That was a late you know, that was a latter 165 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 2: day candy, right, I mean they're not too many new 166 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: chocolate bars invented along the way Twigs was was latter day. 167 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: Let's see here, three three and fifty parts per like 168 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: I said, parts per whatever.

And one, they have never touched my lips. 194 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 6: But number two, the marketing is genius. It sucks people in. 195 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 6: And one of the ingredients that seems like it would 196 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 6: be a really healthy thing is green tea extract, which 197 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 6: actually causes liver damage. So all these little things that 198 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 6: people just don't know about and they're drinking it and 199 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 6: excess and they're actually damaging their bodies. They need to 200 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 6: do their research before they put things in their pie hole. 201 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I keep it out of your pie hole. I'm 202 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 4: with you. 203 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: The problem that I have is not me like the 204 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 2: energy drinks don't taste very good. 205 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 4: Like back in the day it. 206 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 2: Was Red Bull and vodka and that was the only 207 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 2: way you were able to get in a Red Bull 208 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: to go down was throw some vodka in there. 209 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 4: But that was that became a problem. 210 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: The red Bull and vodka thing for me was a 211 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: real problem because you could drink those night, but the 212 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: vodka and the Red Bull don't end at the same time. 213 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: So depending on the on the on the mix, you're 214 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: either up at two in the morning drunk or like 215 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: you're either you're either wired or drunk at the end 216 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 2: of the night, like it doesn't even out, the night 217 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: doesn't end even and that's no, that's no bueno. 218 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 4: So I'm off the Red Bull in vodka. But the 219 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 4: challenge is. 220 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 2: Like young people like go to Mammoth, go to Big Bear, 221 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 2: and see the advertising that's done. It's it's unbelievable. I mean, 222 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 2: they have convinced every snowboarder that they absolutely have to 223 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 2: have a monster and they and they sponsor the all 224 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: the events and the signages everywhere, so it's impossible to 225 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: not have young people drinking these things. But I I 226 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: think you're right. I don't think it's very good. But 227 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 2: I had no idea that Candy was so. 228 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 4: Bad about Baby Ruth about it. Baby Ruth not on 229 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 4: the list. 230 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 2: But the concern that Casey DeSantis, the first Lady of Florida, 231 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 2: has in this report, it's not so much with adults, 232 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: but constant arsenic levels in children really really bad. So 233 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: that's what she's been working on, and like everything else, 234 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: now that what she's calling for. 235 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 4: Is the information to be out there. So now the 236 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 4: information is out there, all right. So I don't want 237 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 4: to totally ruin the entire night. 238 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 2: And we can't have Monster, we can have Red Bull, 239 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: we can have Candy now, but there's the facts, all right. 240 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: So I wanted to talk with you tonight about these 241 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: lawsuits against these social media platforms. Let me just start 242 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 2: by saying, I don't like the direction this is going. 243 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: I don't like it at all. 244 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 4: I don't like these class action lawsuits against these social 245 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 4: media platforms because the social media platforms are doing exactly 246 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 4: what they are designed to do. 247 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: They are designed to be interesting and attractive and hold 248 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 2: your attention, whether it is Facebook or Instagram or Snapchat 249 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: or TikTok or threads or x or truth social whatever 250 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 2: it is, it is designed to hold your attention because 251 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 2: Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat and Twitter whatever, they are 252 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 2: in the advertising business. And I don't understand how people 253 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: don't understand that. Like you subscribe or you log into 254 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: Instagram or Facebook and you think, oh, this is great. 255 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: My relatives in Tennessee are on here, and my relatives 256 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: in Arizona and my friends from high school and college, 257 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 2: and I can post a photograph of Christmas Eve and 258 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 2: we're roll around the Christmas tree and so now everybody 259 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: can see it and see how the family is and 260 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: we're all together. Like that's a service. You think it's 261 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 2: free because it's not costing you anything, but that is 262 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: a service. Somewhere there is a server that is you know, right, 263 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: your photographs are expensive to keep on a server. Now 264 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: they're on Facebook server, and Facebook is allowing people to 265 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: see it and comment. All of that costs money. So 266 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 2: in exchange for you and your ability to either post 267 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 2: something on Instagram for your followers to see or post 268 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 2: something on Facebook for your family to see, in exchange, 269 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: they are advertising to you.

The cases being heard 344 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 8: in California State Court with TikTok settling and Snapchat's parent 345 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 8: company Snap settling last week.

This is incredible to me. 357 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I cannot stand frivolous lawsuits because they wreak 358 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 2: havoc on industries and cause industries to behave in a 359 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: different way Like this to me is the McDonald's Coffee 360 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: was Too Hot lawsuit of our time. What do you 361 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 2: mean that TikTok is too good that I can't put 362 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 2: it down. 363 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 4: That's what you're saying. 364 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 2: It is the job of TikTok to be so good 365 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 2: that you continue to scroll like that. 366 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 4: That means that it's doing its job right. 367 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 2: Instagram and all that goes into making Instagram and their algorithms. 368 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 4: Feed you back things that you seem to spend time 369 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 4: looking at. 370 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 2: Is working if you are becoming addicted to it. First, 371 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 2: Addiction is a disease. Let's not overuse the word. It 372 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: dilutes the reality of it and weakens the sauce like. 373 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 2: Addiction is a real thing, and people who are addicted 374 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 2: to things, it's bad for them. 375 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 4: There's no such thing as being addicted to TikTok. 376 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 2: You have either weakened your own will or never have 377 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: the strength to put down the phone. And you're an 378 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: adult and you want to go back to the company 379 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 2: and say you're doing something wrong because now my head's 380 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: all screwed up and I'm having suicidal thoughts. It's absurd, 381 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 2: It really is absurd, And I honestly think because of 382 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 2: the deep pockets of this company. 383 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 4: What have they mentioned there? Google and Meta? 384 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 2: So meta is Facebook, Instagram and threads. I think even 385 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: though nobody's on threads, well, nobody normal is on threads, right. 386 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: Then Google has YouTube and WhatsApp, and like nobody in 387 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 2: America uses WhatsApp, but everywhere else on the planet that's 388 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 2: all they use. So you go to Mexico and you 389 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 2: want to text somebody, you gotta do it on WhatsApp. 390 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 4: But they're all effectively the same thing. There are. 391 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 2: They are different ways to share content, like all Instagram 392 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: is and all TikTok is is Facebook for moving pictures. 393 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 2: Back in the day, you on MySpace or on Facebook, 394 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: you would post a static photo and write a caption 395 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 2: and everybody that was connected to you could see it. 396 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 2: Then we decided to take video, and you go to 397 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 2: your Instagram account or your TikTok account, and now you're 398 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: doing the same thing, except it's a moving picture a movie. 399 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: But it's the same thing, and you're sitting there consuming 400 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 2: that content. That's all that's going on. If there's something 401 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 2: wrong with you that you get so caught up, now 402 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 2: I get it. It's a time waster. It's a lot 403 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 2: of things are time wasters. Chatting in like actual voice 404 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 2: is a time waster. People used to waste time chatting 405 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: I gotta go right, Like all kinds of things without 406 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 2: any self control is a time waster. 407 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 4: But it's incredible to me. 408 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 2: They're suing TikTok for it being so compelling that people 409 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 2: can't put it down. What is the job of comedy 410 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 2: writers in a sitcom? Like, isn't it their job to 411 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 2: write such compelling storyline? You sit through the commercial break 412 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: because you're so interested in what's gonna happen to George 413 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 2: and Elaine and Kramer. 414 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 4: In Act two of the episode? 415 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 2: Right, isn't it their job to hold your attention through 416 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 2: the commercial break? 417 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 4: Would you sue. 418 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: Castle Rock because I was addicted to Seinfeld like that? 419 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: Their job is to hold your attention. And it's the 420 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 2: same thing with these social media platforms. It's your job 421 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 2: to be a grown ass adult and knowing it's time 422 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 2: to put it down. 423 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 9: Woo. 424 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 10: You gotta be a fool if you think people have 425 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 10: to hold themselves accountable and this DNA's for their own ashes. Man, 426 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 10: you can't do that, man, I don't know what you think. 427 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 10: It just kidding, brother, love your show, Keep up the 428 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 10: good work. 429 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 4: I appreciate the call. 430 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 11: Who serious question you use the sitcoms as an example, 431 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 11: But what about alcohol, tobacco, cheetos, rock and roll music, 432 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 11: anything people dive right into or get obsessed with. Where 433 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 11: the lawsuits are am I'm just forgetting them towards those 434 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 11: things and the marketing. 435 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 12: And you get the point. 436 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 2: I get the point, well, full disclosure, you're talking to 437 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: the guy that was on the side of the tobacco 438 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 2: companies when all that was going down. 439 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 4: I was rooting for the tobacco companies. 440 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 2: I didn't buy for a second that people didn't know 441 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: that tobacco was harmful and. 442 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 4: Were addicted to cigarettes. So and it was the tobacco 443 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 4: company's fault. 444 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: You made very well have gotten yourself addicted to cigarettes, 445 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 2: but it's not the tobacco company's fault. So I was 446 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: rooting for the tobacco companies. And you know, you want 447 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 2: to talk about alcohol time. But at the end of 448 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 2: the day, it's a legal product. Cigarettes are legal, and 449 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 2: they are we do restrict them. We restrict them to 450 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 2: hold for it adults. So I'm pretty libertarian on what 451 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 2: you want to do with your life. I don't want 452 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 2: to tell you what to do because I don't want 453 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: you telling me what to do. But I don't want 454 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 2: you to do it what you want, and then deciding 455 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 2: that you can't stop doing what you want because it's 456 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 2: so good, and then get mad at the person that's 457 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 2: legally sold you what you wanted. 458 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 4: That's Unamerican. 459 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 13: HILU love your show. I think you nailed it on 460 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 13: the head. It's just a problem of people just don't 461 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 13: know what the hell they want, and then when they 462 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 13: get it, they're mad at how they got it, or 463 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 13: they want the free buck. But I'm pretty sure there's 464 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 13: something in the agreement that says that they can use 465 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 13: your information no matter what. I'm not sure why they 466 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 13: settled other than it was lunch money. 467 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 4: That's right. 468 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: I mean Google settling for sixty eight million dollars. Is 469 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 2: Google taking their staff out to lunch. I mean Google 470 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 2: is doing very well, and sixty eight million dollars sounds 471 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: like a lot. But I don't even think Google's worried 472 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 2: about negative publicity blowback. I honestly think Google probably didn't 473 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 2: want to pay the attorneys to continue to work on it. 474 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 4: Like what a lose? What's the difference if we win 475 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 4: to lose? What are these people want? Sixty eight million dollars? 476 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 4: That's like nothing? 477 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 2: So I think that's the reason Google settled, but I 478 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: don't want them to have to settle because it a's 479 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 2: a precedent. And as you heard, as you hear, they're 480 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 2: still going after Meta and this is just absurd, absolutely absurd, 481 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 2: But I appreciate the. 482 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: Cal you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 483 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 2: Fat Burger goes BK Fat Burger a major Los Angeles 484 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 2: hamburger chain. They own Johnny Rockets and there are filing 485 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: for bankruptcy because of the industry impact on them, and 486 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: I thought about that. There's gonna be a lot of 487 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 2: industry impact right now. The gop one drugs are outpacing 488 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 2: cancer drugs. 489 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 4: Let me say that again. 490 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 2: According to research on pharmaceutic golp ones right now are 491 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 2: outpacing cancer drugs as far as usage, not prescription, because 492 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 2: a lot of these glp ones, I mean they're not 493 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: in short, but they're prescribed, so I guess it would 494 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 2: be prescriptions anyway. A lot of people taking these glp ones, 495 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: and the industry is changing. I was out of Starbucks 496 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: with my wife in Costa Mesa and they had a 497 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 2: big sign you could get a coffee with a like 498 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 2: some kind of protein hit like you could add protein 499 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 2: in the cream or I don't know what. Honestly, don't 500 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,479 Speaker 2: even know what it was. The word protein was in 501 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: big letters and it was like nineteen grams of protein 502 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: in my coffee. And I'm like, all right, I'll do that. 503 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 2: Why not It doesn't increase the calibories. But the reason 504 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 2: they're doing that because the people on the golp ones 505 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 2: are constantly on a protein hunt. 506 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 4: That's all they have to do all day, every day. 507 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 4: That's all they're looking for is protein. 508 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 2: Like it used to be, all we were looking for 509 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: were carbs, like looking to avoid the carbs and how 510 00:27:59,040 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 2: many carbs are in that? 511 00:27:59,880 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 5: Is? 512 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 2: I got carbs. I don't want any carbs. We gotta 513 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 2: make sure it's zero carbs, right, that was our thing 514 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 2: back in the day. Now, if you're on a GLP one, 515 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 2: how much protein is in that? Is that a lot 516 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 2: of protein? I need a lot of protein. Gotta have 517 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 2: my protein because on GOLP one you're not eating anything 518 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 2: and you don't even notice it. Like you could go 519 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 2: I'm told from the injection day. Let's say people get 520 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 2: injected on Sunday, you could go to Wednesday not eat 521 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 2: a single thing and not be aware that you haven't 522 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 2: eaten in three days, but your body knows, so you're 523 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: always looking for protein. So if you're on top of it, 524 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 2: you got to get protein at all times. So the 525 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 2: fast food industry, while there is protein and a fat burger, 526 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 2: it's like too much food at once. So they're getting impacted. 527 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what they're what they're doing about it. 528 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 2: That's all coming up following the news at eight o'clock. 529 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 13: Okay, Lou, if you're gonna be on every night at seven, man, 530 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 13: you gotta let us know so I can start downloading 531 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 13: this podcast. 532 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 4: I can listen to you if I'm not available. 533 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 2: Okay, Hey, I appreciate the call Kfi sick of lo 534 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: Penrose that he sucks. 535 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 4: I appreciate that call too, Lou. 536 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 9: I like the direction this is going because now we 537 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 9: can all sue Sony for making TVs that we can't 538 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 9: stop watching, and we can sue Samsung for making these 539 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,959 Speaker 9: phones that we can't stop using.

They 559 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 2: call themselves influencers, right. Few people are content creators. I mean, 560 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 2: there are a lot of people creating content, but it's 561 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 2: not very good content. 562 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 12: And. 563 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: So few are able to even supplement their income, let 564 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 2: alone make a living. 565 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 4: I mean, it's just very, very small. 566 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 2: So don't set your sights on being an influencer.
