We don't even 62 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: have senates here. 63 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 4: We have to get people from out of our state 64 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: to help us.

He was later detained. Sheriff's deputies requested 75 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: a medical assessment by the Orange County Fire Authority. A 76 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: trade lighting ceremony in northeast LA has gone dark. 77 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 5: It was a surprise not just to the guests at 78 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 5: Herman Park, but also to city Councilwoman Isabelle Herado when 79 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 5: the power box was discovered to be burned out. She 80 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 5: says no city department could help her. 81 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 2: In fact, no. 82 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 5: One seems to know who's responsible for that box. 83 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: Safety begins with the equitable delivery of city services. If 84 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: people can't trust us with the small things, how can 85 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: they trust us with the big ones. 86 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 5: The tree was lit on Saturday night using a temporary fix, 87 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 5: but it's dark again while the city tries to figure 88 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 5: it all out. Dorado says this is an example of 89 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 5: bureaucracy in LA that residents frequently have to deal with. 90 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 5: Michael Monks KFI News. 91 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: I hated dark Christmas tree. Let's say good morning now 92 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: to ABC's Jim Ryan. And Jim let's talk about the 93 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: fungus among us and why we need to steer clear 94 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: of it. 95 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 6: Well you should, because yes, there are some out there 96 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 6: that can be quite dangerous, can be fatal. In fact, 97 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 6: in the San Francisco Bay and Monterey area, there have 98 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 6: been twenty one people who've gotten sick after eating something 99 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 6: called a death cap that's this specific mushroom that is 100 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 6: pretty widespread across the West coast, also in the Northeast 101 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 6: as well. And yeah, twenty one cases, one person has died. 102 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 6: But this is a kind of annual problem. Thousands of 103 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 6: people get sick every year from eating poisonos mushrooms, and 104 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 6: about three on average every year died from that. 105 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm looking at the picture of the death 106 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: cap mushroom. 107 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 7: Uh huh. 108 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: It looks very innocent and sweet, looks like an everyday mushroom, 109 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: and that's probably part of the problem is it doesn't 110 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: look there's nothing menacing looking about it, and it looks 111 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: similar to other mushrooms it does. 112 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, then if you don't have a trained eye, then yeah, 113 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 6: you could find yourself getting into trouble. And don't think that, Okay, 114 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 6: I've found one of these all just cook it. That'll 115 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 6: take out any poison. Or I'll freeze it and then 116 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 6: use it. No, the death cap mushroom, the poison within 117 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 6: is unaffected by extremes in heat, so yeah, I don't 118 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 6: think that that's going to handle it. So, but the 119 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 6: thing is that mushroom foraging has gotten very popular around the. 120 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: Country because we all want to get back to nature. 121 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 6: Yes, right, baby, let's get on out there in the 122 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 6: woods forage for mushrooms and whatnot. But no, so with 123 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 6: the growing popular and I looked at a map, a 124 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 6: national map of different clubs around the country that are 125 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 6: popped up around this kind of thing, around foraging, and 126 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 6: they're all over the place, mycological societies, even as far 127 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 6: east as Kansas City they have one there, but they're 128 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 6: all over the place. So yeah, I don't think that 129 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 6: this is just a California or Northern California problem, something 130 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 6: that people around the country need to be watching out 131 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 6: for as they pick up foraging. 132 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: Okay, so if you insist on foraging, are there any 133 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: things that you should be looking for or any things 134 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: you should do to make sure that you don't pick 135 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: up a death cap? 136 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 6: Well, you can try Google images, take a picture of 137 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 6: that mushroom that you found, and then run it through 138 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 6: Google Images on your phone, and it will probably tell 139 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 6: you the type of mushroom it is. But I'm not 140 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 6: sure I would trust that. I think the best thing 141 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 6: to do is to get with an expert. If you 142 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 6: want to get into foraging, then find somebody who's done 143 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 6: it before, who's familiar with it. Maybe knows something about it. 144 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 6: Otherwise you could end up with them being one of 145 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 6: the seventy four hundred people every year who suffer from mushroom. 146 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't get the whole mushroom thing. They don't have 147 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: much flavor the time. 148 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 7: Mushrooms are magnificent. 149 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: They're great if they're sautat in lots and lots of butter. 150 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, they're good raw too. 151 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: Okay, So if you insist on eating wild mushrooms, what 152 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: can happen and what are some of the things to 153 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: watch out for. 154 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 7: Well, first you start getting sick. 155 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 6: It's like any stomach issue, right, all the things that 156 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 6: just imagine lets your imagination go in terms of what 157 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 6: happened if I ate something that really made me sick. 158 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 7: That's the first part. 159 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 6: Then comes much more serious for a few from some 160 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 6: small percentage of people. And by the way, most of 161 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 6: the people most of these seventy four hundred mushroom exposure 162 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 6: cases each year involve children under six.

Your 286 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: account requires security through advanced protection. And I don't know 287 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: if it's like things look so real now. I don't 288 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: know if it's real or not. But it did have 289 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: a click through, and so I didn't click through. But 290 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: is that a real thing? 291 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: Good call?

And basically Facebook is saying, we 295 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 4: are protecting you from you. So we're going to put 296 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 4: on some advanced protections, which basically involves two factor authentication. 297 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 4: They are automatically going to enable that and when anyone 298 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 4: logs into your account, they are going to rutinize that 299 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 4: log in a little more closely than any other log 300 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 4: in on their site. So it's a good thing, and 301 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 4: they're just basically trying to make sure that no one 302 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 4: uses your account, no one hacks it, no one takes 303 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: it over to spread misinformation. 304 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: Okay, so that's good.

You can 337 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 4: set reminders. The ring battery lasts for about two years. 338 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 4: It's seventy five dollars right now, and when battery is up, 339 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 4: you can send it back in buy a new one, presumably. 340 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 4: But kind of a cool idea because it's it's less 341 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 4: distracting than some other solutions out there. 342 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: Well yeah, because I have brilliant ideas a lot rich 343 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: but you don't. We all but they're fleeting, you know, 344 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: and you go, what was I What was that idea? 345 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: Like I have? So I think if you just had 346 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: to push the button and it's on your hand already 347 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: and go hey da da da da, and then you 348 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: can remember it later. 349 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 4: I already do this on my Apple Watch. I've got 350 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 4: an app called Whisper Memos that I love, Love, Love, 351 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 4: Love love. And the thing that this does that's really 352 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 4: cool is not only does it record what you say, 353 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 4: but it transcribes it with like perfect accuracy, Like I'm 354 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 4: not kidding, it's it's insane. Like I went to a 355 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 4: session last night at Amazon studios. 356 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: I recorded the. 357 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 4: Whole thing an hour, got back every single thing perfectly 358 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 4: in my email in the morning, and then I can 359 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 4: summarize it and get the notes that I took, you know, 360 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 4: and all that kind of stuff. Anyway, but it emails 361 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 4: it to you. That's the trick. So it's in your 362 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 4: inbox when you get out of your car or wherever 363 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 4: you are when you come back to your computer. 364 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: Okay, And that one's the Whisper or that's the Pebble 365 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: index ring. 366 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 4: That's the Whisper Memos WHI s P E R Memos 367 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 4: dot com. And that's available for Apple Watch and the iPhone. 368 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 4: But I like it on the Apple Watch. I just 369 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 4: do one tap and boom, I'm recording. 370 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: That sounds cool. Okay. So there's some new cars and 371 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: they basically are like legos. 372 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one way to describe them. 373 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 4: This is called a slate ev it's from a startup 374 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 4: that's going to start selling these next year. And you 375 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 4: know how back in the day, when you buy a car, 376 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 4: if you got the base model, it was kind of 377 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 4: junkie bare bones. Well that's their entire business model. They're saying, look, 378 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 4: we're giving you bare bones. So this thing is really cheap. 379 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 4: The price keeps creeping up over the years. It started 380 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 4: at like under twenty now it's like mid twenties. But 381 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 4: the idea is that there's nothing in this car that 382 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 4: you don't need, including amy, no radio, what, no center console, 383 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 4: so you literally stick your phone in the middle. There's 384 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 4: not even bluetooth you have to These are all add ons. 385 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 4: Like if you don't want Bluetooth, you don't get it. 386 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 4: If you don't want speakers, you don't have them. I mean, 387 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 4: it's everything is an add on in this car. I 388 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 4: mean it's pretty wild. So you get the basics, you 389 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 4: get air conditioning and heat, you get roll down windows, 390 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 4: and you get a little tiny dashboard that shows your 391 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 4: speed and things. 392 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 2: But that's it. Everything else than add on. 393 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: Okay. I was going to ask about the windows. Can 394 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: you imagine if we went back to rolldown. 395 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 4: You know what, how many times do you really put 396 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 4: down your windows? 397 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: Think about it. I'm thinking about this the other day. No, 398 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: I don't want to hear them the outside. 399 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: I want to be in my little cocoon, Okay. 400 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 4: I don't want reality to creep in. 401 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: I do not blame you at all, Rich Okay, but 402 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: speaking of non reality, here's something. I saw your picture 403 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: that you posted on your Instagram of you and Santa 404 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: and we're going high tech for Christmas this year, and 405 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: it's not you and Santa. 406 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: No, this is so wild. 407 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 4: You got to check out my instagram at rich on Tech. 408 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 4: I posted a picture of a retro mall Santa picture 409 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 4: of me and Santa. I sent it to my family. 410 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 4: I said, oh, remember this to my mom and dad 411 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 4: and sisters and brothers. And then a minute later, I'm like, 412 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 4: this is fake. This never happened. And you basically take 413 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 4: a picture of yourself, you feed it into Google's nano 414 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 4: banana and you say, and I'll give you the prompt. 415 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 4: It's all my website rich on tech dot tv.

So it 499 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: starts Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, Octavia Spencer, and then there's 500 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: someone else that you're gonna recognize, but I want to 501 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you who it is because 502 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: you'll know it when you hear the voice. But this 503 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: story is set in the present, in the past and 504 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: the future. You know, Christmas Carolly. Will Ferrell is the 505 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: ghost of Christmas past, and he wants to try to 506 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: fix one person. So it's like he wants to go 507 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: after today's Ebenenitzer Scrooge. Nobody else wants to, but he 508 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: fights for it and the one that he wants to 509 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: redeem or help out is Ryan Reynolds's character. So the 510 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: characters do break out in song quite a bit because, 511 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, this after Life is a musical and 512 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: they say that and they go at the very beginning, 513 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: they go, oh, yeah, this musical is set. This Afterlife 514 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: is set in a musical form or something, and one 515 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: of the guys who just died is like, what, But anyway, 516 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: when you hear it, you're gonna understand it. It's it's 517 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: just really fun. The characters are fun and engaging. The 518 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: music is solid, The songs are catchy, they're fun little 519 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: toe tappers. My favorite is called good Afternoon. I can't 520 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: tell you about it. It's about halfway through, but when 521 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: you hear it you'll know what it is. It's a fun, 522 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: fun song and who knew Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds 523 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: could sing. And the story unfolds. It's well thought out. 524 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: All the pieces come together. The story arc is strong. 525 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen this one, I say please do. 526 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: I've probably already watched it five or six times because 527 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: it's just a fun story. Christmas classic maybe could be. 528 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: I'd love to see this show on Broadway. Actually it'd 529 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: be just it's really really good and again Ryan Reynolds 530 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: and Will Ferrell a fun combination. Didn't expect it. Love 531 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: it if you want to get in the merry Christmas 532 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: spirit spirited on Apple TV. And then I'd love to 533 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: hear what you think about it, because maybe I'm just 534 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: being silly, but I just I love the music, I 535 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: love the acting, I love the story, loved it all, 536 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: loved it, loved it all. 537 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 7: Right. 538 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: Time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini, 539 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: as we do every morning at five point forty. Denise, 540 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: it's a big day for the Fed. Yeah, it sure is. 541 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 10: The Fed is expected amy to cut interest rates today, 542 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 10: but they're going to have a very spirited, you might say, 543 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 10: conversation around this because of continued concerns about inflation. There's 544 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 10: a lot of thinking that we're not going to see 545 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 10: more rate cuts next year because of inflation. And also 546 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 10: there's this big question mark hanging over the FED because 547 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 10: we're really not sure who the next FED chair will be. 548 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 10: President Trump has said so many times he wants to 549 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 10: get rid of. 550 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: FED chair J Powell. 551 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 10: We know who the front runner is, which is Kevin Hassett, 552 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 10: but it's not a given, and he's interviewing people over 553 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 10: the next few days, so we could. 554 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: See more drama and more headlines on that front. Okay, 555 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: So we know that he doesn't like Jerown Powell at all, 556 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: but hasn't he said he's not going to fire him, well, 557 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: not fire him, but his term ends. Ah, so okay 558 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: he can yeah the term okay, great? Yeah. 559 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 10: Oh by the way, yeah, I have somebody else for 560 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 10: the next term, perfect, Okay. 561 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: And then we've got the Warner Brothers deal with Netflix. 562 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: We've got a class action suit already, we have a 563 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: hostile takeover try what is this going to be settled soon? 564 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: Or is this going to draw up for a long time? 565 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 10: No, it go on for a while. And here's why, 566 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 10: could last really well into next year. Warner Brothers board 567 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 10: is not planning to cancel its merger agreement with Netflix 568 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 10: because there's a two point eight billion dollar termination fee. 569 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 10: So now it's balls really in paramounts card. It can 570 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 10: follow through on its tender offer, right, or it can 571 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 10: extend the bid, or it can sue as you know 572 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 10: you were talking about, to stop the Netflix deal, or 573 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 10: it can increase the terms. Some are expecting in the 574 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 10: end the purchase price will move up another five to 575 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 10: ten billion dollars. That'll forgive the sin of that two 576 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 10: point eight billion dollar termination fee that Netflix would. 577 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: Have to pay if it dumps the Warner Brothers deal. 578 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 10: So basically, everybody's angling to get the best deal as 579 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 10: long as the lawyers are making money, and they continue 580 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 10: to dicker about it, you know. 581 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: So we'll go on and all I see is higher 582 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: streaming prices. Yep, all right, that's fun. Okay, Let's let's 583 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: talk about the swag gap. I haven't heard of this, Okay, Okay, 584 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: I love this story. 585 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 10: People are apparently ending relationships because of what they call 586 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 10: the swag gap. 587 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: Swag is, of. 588 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 10: Course, you know your style, your vibe, year fashion, and 589 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 10: the problem is if your date's casual outfit doesn't match 590 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 10: the vibe you know of yours. If you're dressed up 591 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 10: and you go out on a date and your date comes, 592 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 10: you know, schlumping along in jeans with holes in them. 593 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen this before. 594 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 10: You remember a couple of years ago, Hayley Bieber photographed, 595 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 10: you know, for her skincare thing with the strapless dress, 596 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 10: heels and a purse to match, and then you see 597 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 10: Justin Bieber tagging along in that hoodie with the shorts 598 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 10: and the pink cap.

And I said, okay, Well, 658 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: why don't we just give her an inhaler and see 659 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: if that helps, and then we would know as opposed 660 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: to spending eight hundred dollars on X rays, it was 661 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: four hundred for the X ray and then four hundred 662 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: to have the radiologist look at it. Yeah. So, and 663 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: while we waited for the radiologist, it was like an 664 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: hour and a half. So we were just sitting there 665 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: and sitting there wheezing. Right, So they come back they said, okay, 666 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: she's got asthma, and I'm like, okay, great. So then 667 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: they bring some asthma and medicine. She takes a and 668 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: she starts breathing better. And I'm like, could have just 669 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: saved us eight hundred bucks, couldn't we. I like, I 670 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: I used to have animals. I had two cats and 671 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: a dog. I used to get a discount if you 672 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: took all three of them at the same time. I 673 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: think that they gave you a discount because it was 674 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: funny to watch you try to take three animals into 675 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: the ved at the same time. But it was really inexpensive, 676 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: and like a checkup was like, you know, twenty five 677 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: forty dollars. I mean it was and it wasn't a 678 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 1: big deal. But now they all want to do tests here, 679 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: let's test this here, let's do blood work. Why do 680 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: you want to do blood work? I ask, and they go, well, 681 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: we want to get a baseline. Let's do a urine test. Why, oh, 682 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: just so we have it. Let's do X rays why? 683 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: And they just it's I think it's sort of a racket. 684 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: And then I didn't do one of the tests because 685 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: they're like, well, we know she has asthma, so we're 686 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: going to get her on inhaler. And that's great because 687 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: I would just love it if my little lovebug can 688 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: breathe esier and all that stuff. And I'm gonna take 689 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: care of her. She's older and she's just the she's great, 690 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: love her. But I I'm just like, why not try 691 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: to say what it is as opposed to trying to 692 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 1: rule out what it isn't by running all these tests. 693 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I think the thinking is 694 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,479 Speaker 1: kind of backwards. Oh and by the way, she also 695 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 1: has to get a special contraption and arrow kitty inhaler 696 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,959 Speaker 1: because you can't just put like the abuterol or whatever 697 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: it's called. You can't just have her open her mouth 698 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: and take in a whiff of that stuff. So there's 699 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: this whole little cat contraction that they don't have that 700 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: you have to go get on Amazon. Oh it's sixty dollars. Ugh, 701 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:38,720 Speaker 1: and the and the the Inhaler's is they're they're not covered. 702 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: So because you know, it's not people insurance unless you 703 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: got pet insurance and mine is too old to get 704 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: pet insurance. So the one Inhaler was only like thirty one. 705 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: The other one was two hundred and fifty dollars for 706 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: an inhaler yoicks right. So but I will also tell 707 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: you if you don't have this app yet, go get 708 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: it good RX, because it'll tell you like if you 709 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: if there are other discounts, and that saved me like 710 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,919 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five, so good RX. It's really 711 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: for people, but if you have pets and they need medications, 712 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: that might be good for you to at least try that. 713 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: So anyway, they still don't have an answer as to 714 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: why she's got this head cold. They're like, oh, it 715 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: might just be her and I'm like, really, oh, but here, 716 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: let's do some more tests, and then they make you 717 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: feel guilty if you don't do the test, Like I'm like, 718 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: exactly can I put off the PCR test? And they're like, well, 719 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: of course you can. 720 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:28,760 Speaker 2: If you want your animal to suffer. 721 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: And then you feel bad because everything's so stupid expensive. 722 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: But hopefully we're on the road, so after the show, 723 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 1: well after handle, I'm not going to leave right now, 724 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to run home and when my kitty and Haler, 725 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: my sixty dollars kiddy and Haler tool arrives, we're gonna 726 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: take another couple puffs and hope for the best. But golly, 727 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: it's infuriating. I don't know if you guys have had 728 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: this experience, but I was talking to producer and and 729 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: she said, you know her, she actually got her her 730 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 1: dogs when they were puffs. So she got the pet 731 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 1: insurance and it covers things like X rays and stuff, 732 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: but you can't get it when you get an animal 733 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: when they're ten or eleven, so you're kind of you're 734 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: kind of screwed that way. But it used to be that, 735 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: like people doctors were expensive, that doctors weren't so expensive, 736 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: they were affordable and you're but now it's like people 737 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: are spending thousands of dollars and it's just I don't 738 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: know how we change it. But I'm gonna still love 739 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: her up, and I guess I'm gonna go bankrupt because 740 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: I love my cat. Okay, Well, just like that, our 741 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,959 Speaker 1: time is up.
