WEBVTT - ChatGPT’s NEW Web Browser | Haunted Houses on Airbnb 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.320 You're listening to bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:10.799 six forty I AM six forty bill handle here Monday morning, 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:16.480 October twenty seven, just being announced that the US and 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.720 China have come to an agreement. Looks like the one 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:25.160 hundred percent tariff increase in China that was supposed to 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:28.520 start November one is off the table. China is going 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:33.680 to resume buying soybeans from the United States. The rare 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.960 earth minerals that China has said is going to stop 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:42.240 sending the United States, that is resuming. So it looks 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.600 like they're coming to some kind of an agreement China 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.120 in the US. So that's good news on that side 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:53.640 for sure. Where the president is in it's in Japan, 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.120 I think right now, and he's going to be meet 0:00:55.160 --> 0:01:02.480 with Xang Xing Ping g Jing Penn Ping pings around. 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:10.600 It's yeah, President j Ping, the old Pinster, that's what 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.840 they call him, the the ping Master, that's what they 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.840 call him. Hey, the pinkster doing Yeah, yeah, it's the 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.560 ping Moister. Yes, that's what he's known in China with 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:25.080 for all right, God damn, I'm good. All right, it's flowing. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:26.760 People go, how do you keep a job. I have 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.520 no idea. I agree with you completely. Okay. I got 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:35.280 some emails. I received some emails regarding the demolition of 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.760 the East Wing because, as I said last week, man, 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.680 it's heartbreaking, you know, I look at the White House 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.280 and it's being completely changed the profile of the White 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.160 House instead of what I thought, and a lot of 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:55.280 people did this symmetrical building that we know of. What 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.760 the President did is take out the east wing completely. 0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.960 He originally said the East Wing was not going to 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.720 be touched at all. It was going to be this 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.720 ballroom adjacent to but not actually touching the East Wing. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.560 And the next thing we know, it's demolished without telling us, 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.520 without saying anything, it's just, hey, I'm demolishing it. And 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.720 so as I was complaining about it, because I do 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:27.440 think it's our iconic building, the President's house, that sort 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.840 of my opinion arbitrarily taken down. Of course, I got emails. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.919 So look what Truman did, Look what Obama did, Look 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.160 what Teddy Roosevelt did, all of which is true. But 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.000 I thought i'd go back with a little bit of 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:48.240 history going starting in nineteen to Teddy Roosevelt remade the 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:53.440 White House and it was additions to when they started. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.320 And I don't know how many years back, the White 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.079 House was just the White House itself, without the East 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:03.399 or the West wing, and then prior to nineteen oh two, 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.680 presidents would work from different spaces. The Oval Office didn't exist. 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.800 There was no designated spot, and Roosevelt wanted a central office, 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.839 so he built the first presidential office right there, and 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:23.840 the West Wing came into existence. In nineteen thirty three. 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.120 President Franklin Roosevelt added twenty five thousand feet of permanent 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.480 office space to the West Wing, and there was a 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.960 penthouse story. A second story was put on, and there 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.080 was a subterranean office also put on, and the Oval 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.480 Office was relocated to the West Wing where we now 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.680 know that it is now a couple of big ones. 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.440 And this is where I was written to look what 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:57.680 Truman did. Truman reconstructed the White House. Well, he did 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:02.800 because the White House was falling apart. The inspectors that 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:09.960 came in, the folks that looked at the very construction 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.960 of that White House of the White House, the supports 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.120 were saying, this thing was falling apart. They had no 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.039 idea how it was even standing. The Trumans were in 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.159 the residents and the floor above that, the piano came through, 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.200 the piano leg came through the ceiling, and they gutted 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.080 the White House, not changing the view of the White House, 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.280 just refurbishing the whole White House. So whatever changes were 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.919 put in, by the way, it all went through the 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:42.200 various committees, the National Historic White House Association, asking Congress. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:48.320 I mean, they went through a long, long period of 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.159 basically looking at it. You know, there were commissions that 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.520 were involved. Truman was very very careful about doing this. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.479 There was nothing fast about. And then Obama that's the 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.320 big one. Well, Obama's been three hundre million dollars on 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.600 refurbishing or what he did to the White House. Look 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.680 at the White House before and after Obama and tell 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.760 me what the changes are. It was all structural changes. 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.080 It was refitting the pipe, it was new electrical, it 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.920 was new alarm systems. That's where the money was spent. Well, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.799 oh wait a gonut it Okay. So the tennis court, 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.279 he added a basketball court, he put up some baskets 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.840 at the end, did not change the look of it. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.640 So as you say, look at what Obama did, look 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.440 at what Truman did versus look at what's happening now. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.240 The White House will not look the same. Ever, again, 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.720 what we know is the White House has been changed completely. 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.080 We now have a building with the East Wing of 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.039 the White House is now bigger than the White House itself, 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.960 all because arbitrary the President wakes up and he goes, 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.880 this is what I want. This is what we're going 0:05:55.920 --> 0:06:01.480 to do. And I tell you have lived through looking 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.800 at the White House as our iconic building, is probably 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:09.800 the most famous building in the world. And now it's 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:15.080 going to be that big, beautiful white what ballroom that'll 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.279 fit nine hundred people. By the way, that's not to 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:21.039 say that there wasn't an issue, because the biggest state 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.360 room in the White House itself holds two hundred people, 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.960 and to have a state dinner with only two hundred people, 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.000 that's a low number. To have a state dinner with 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.560 almost one thousand people, that probably makes more sense. But 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.600 could have been built in another place, could have been 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.159 built that it have to be built right next to 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:43.080 the East Wing, which completely destroyed the look of the 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.880 White House as we know it. And of course Mike 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.960 Johnson when asked about it, he said, it's going to 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.560 be glorious. That's the word he used, glorious. And as 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.080 I said earlier this morning when I opened the show, 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.520 if Donald Trump took a dump on the lawn of 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:05.920 the White House, that would be glorious, just glorious. Yeah, 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.280 that's a heartbreaker. It is for me, It really is. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.720 It is. I mean, I grew up with a White 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.280 House looking the way it is my entire life. And 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.680 maybe there's certain things that I just don't want to change. 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.040 I'm old school and I'm fine with change. By the way, 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.120 I have no problem with change on this one, not 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:29.840 so much, okay. Now, the world's most popular chat box 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.840 chat GPD Jack cheap Chat GPT just launched a web 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.800 browser this week and it promises to make surfing the 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:43.360 Internet smarter. And it's called Atlas, and at once permission 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:51.760 to watch and remember everything you do online. It outsurveils 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.600 Google's Chrome. By the way, that's saying a lot. It 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.520 doesn't just log which websites you visit. Here's where it 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.360 goes beyond that. It's the word memories of what you 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:06.880 look at and what you do on those sites. It 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.800 actually can grab control of your mouse and browse for you. 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:15.200 I mean, God forbid. All right, Now, there is a 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.600 huge amount at steak when which browser you choose because 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.000 it's your daily portal to the Internet, and who doesn't 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:26.520 use the Internet and a spigotive information companies can use 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.720 to target you with ads, steer you towards certain sites, 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:35.520 and train AI on your behaviors and interests. So it 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.360 actually gets to know you better than you know you 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:44.800 and its minority report is what this is. There's the 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:50.520 search engineer Perplexity makes a browser called Comment. Google has 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:55.640 Gemini added Gemini bought to Chrome, and it also adds 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.160 capabilities that lets AI do tasks for you. What does 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.480 that actually do well? It replaces Google with chat gp 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.920 is the main source to find websites and information and 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.959 I use I don't even know what I use Safari 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:17.320 and I don't know who owns Safari and what goes? Okay, 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.199 that's what I use. But here's it. For instance, you 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.360 asked it to summarize an article or analyze data. Okay, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:29.120 that makes sense. And it puts chat GPT one click 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:34.040 away for for example, revising email drafts. Okay, that makes 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:40.560 it easier because chat GPT just makes work much easier. Now, 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:44.760 behind the scenes, it's also working to learn about you, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:52.360 not about making a speech better or rewriting a resume. Nope. 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.719 If you grant permission during setup, and that's easy to do, 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.640 it builds a trove of memories about the sites you 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:03.360 visit and surfaces them when you need them. It's just 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.800 a very very sophisticated way of knowing who we are 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.360 and who you are. I go to Costco and they 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:18.560 know I buy frozen burritos. Okay, Now it knows when 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:22.360 I really need them, what my feelings are about burritos. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:27.440 It knows what my life is visa VI burritos. I 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.679 think we all kind of do. Yeah, I know, well, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.000 I'm pretty open about it. But there are things that 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.560 are not optically open about, for example, opening up a 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.880 website talking about the pimples on my scroat. All right, 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.240 it's not something I want to share with everybody. But 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:49.439 if I just even open that asking the question, all 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.400 of a sudden, it knows what I'm interested in. It 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.720 knows I have a problem and it's going to throw me. 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:04.800 Here's some scrote pimple cream. Now I have someone here 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.960 who is just groaning. Lindsey's in the room. 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:13.000 She's not the only one growing one, and my vote, 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:14.400 it's probably an ingrown hair. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.439 So yeah, thank you, thank you for that. And by 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.400 the way, they'll the chat GPT will know that it's 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.760 your view of it. So it remembers not just the 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.720 website addresses, but facts and insights from the sites themselves 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:33.839 based on summaries of the content that open AI makes. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:38.960 Bottom line is it's diving much much deeper into what 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.040 you are thinking, what you are visiting, and gets an 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:46.280 impression not just specifically as to that site, knowing that 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.560 I'm looking for frozen burritos, but actually figures out why 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:55.400 I'm looking for frozen burritos. Now, obviously that is a 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.040 horrible analogy because I can't go beyond making horrible analogies. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.200 But I'm imagine where this is going. It is Minority Report. 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:07.480 It really is that film where they know before you 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.079 think it, what you're going to think about. Now, is 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.560 it going to go that far? Probably not, But I'll 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.920 tell you, these programs are going to know which way 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.800 you're leaning, what you might be doing, what you will 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:27.839 never do. That's pretty frightening stuff to say the least. 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:34.439 You know, it remembers everything you looked at it also 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.239 remembers things you don't want it to look at, relationship 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.480 troubles or a medical condition that you were just looking 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:47.920 at at two am in the morning. Now, I don't 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.640 know if you're frightened of that of the com Usually 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.200 I'm not frightened of technology. I'm really not. I'm fine 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.880 with license plate readers, and I'm fine with cameras in 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:05.640 open places, helicopters, drones out there with cameras in public. 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.600 But man, this one goes a little bit further than 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:14.960 I'm comfortable with. All right, now, AI, we've heard a 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.840 lot about AI. We live with AI. We're looking at 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:22.319 a future with AI. And you may not be hired though, 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.160 or you may be fired, or you may be asked 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.680 to do a whole lot more work or maybe not, 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:33.280 depending on how AI is utilized by your company. Well, 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.640 it turns out the companies are increasingly aiming to maintain 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:41.880 or reduce workforce size, anticipating that AI is going to 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:48.679 automate tasks it will boost productivity. Should for example, let 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.800 me give you an example, into its revenue row sixteen 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:56.400 percent in the last fiscal year, no additional employees, sixteen 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.720 percent up. You think a lot more employees not a chance, 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:05.080 and they're thinking staffing and not replacing departing employees attrition, 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.440 and we've seen that happen here at iHeart. I don't 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.840 even know if iHeart uses AI at all. I do 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.680 know that a lot of people are gone and a 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:22.200 lot of people are not being hired. And I don't 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.720 know how much AI is part of it. Maybe it's 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.360 because iHeart just hates people, even though we're in the 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.480 people business. You know. I've got to ask management about that, 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.040 but they won't talk to me because they said they 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:39.360 hate me. Some companies are cutting jobs target eight percent 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.240 they've cut using AI. And here is the gamble. It's 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.800 a corporate gamble. Can you run a company? Can you 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:54.040 increase sales? Can you juice profits without adding people? And 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:58.640 companies are making that calculation, saying, let's see if we 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:03.280 can keep the size of our employees flat or not 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.040 the size of the employees wait wise, but the number 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.560 of employees flat. I want to make sure you get that, 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.320 or maybe even shrink through layoffs without harming the business. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.720 And seems to me one of the things about the 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:20.200 philosophy the last few years is more for fewer people. 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.120 I don't know if you've noticed. But every time and 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.680 here it's all over the place. They let someone go 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.200 and do not replace that someone, simply asking the existing 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.440 someone's to take up the slack, and all of a 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:40.520 sudden there's more to do and you're asked to do more, 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:45.680 perform better for the same money. Usually part of the 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.840 thinking is that AI can be used to pick up 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:53.080 some of the slack, maybe automate more processes, and companies 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:57.800 are hesitant because are we going to hire people? Well, 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:02.080 we don't know what's happening with the economy, we don't 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:06.120 know what's happening with the administration and which way it's 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:11.160 going to go. JP Morgan Chase chief financial officers said, 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.120 the bank at this moment has a very strong bias 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.600 against having the response to hire more people. They just 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.320 don't want to do it. Golden Sachs send a memo 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.600 to staffers that the firm will I love this constrain 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.280 headcount growth through the end of the year. That means 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.680 no more people are going to be hired and it's 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.880 going to reduce the role that AI is going to 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:40.720 be able to function in. Walmart plans on keeping the 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:46.040 head count roughly flat over the next three years. Now, 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:51.240 even with just inflation in terms of growth, that's ten percent, 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:57.080 and no new people are going to be hired. So 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:02.880 there is this new model, ultra lean model of staffing. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.200 More roles are kept unfilled and hiring is now as 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:11.280 a last resort. Used to be as business came in, 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.800 you'd hire more people. It was real easy. I have 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.920 friends of mine who have law firms, and as more 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.760 business comes in, of course they hire more lawyers. Well, 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.879 if you look at it, first year second year lawyers 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:30.520 really aren't needed that much. First and second year lawyers 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:38.960 do research, they produce memos, they create well, they do 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:46.720 deposition questions, they do interrogatories, these questions asked the other side. 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.560 An AI probe can do that and can do it 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:55.720 great into it is not replacing roles in its finance, 0:17:55.840 --> 0:18:01.760 legal and customer support functions. So the last year revenues 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:07.680 rose sixteen percent into it the head count stayed flat. 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.600 So you can see why so many hundreds of billions 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.840 of dollars are being invested in AI. The problem with 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.560 AI is so much money is going into AI, so 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.440 much astronomical amounts of money, is it ever going to 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:29.119 pay for itself? A lot of insiders are saying, uh huh. 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:33.480 Also in these large companies, HR chiefs are saying, you know, 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.280 it is becoming difficult to even predict how many employees 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:40.080 we're going to need because of how quickly technology is 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.080 taking off, and it goes even more than that. Some 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:52.720 employers say, think that fewer employees will actually improve operations. Now, 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.800 think about that. One you work at a company and 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.640 X number of dollars are produced or whatever products are produced, 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.600 they lay off ten percent and more is being done. 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:08.439 That's way beyond someone quits, someone gets fired. Hey you 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.480 over there, are you going to do the work. This 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.600 is someone quits, someone gets fired, and hey you over there, 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:16.040 you're going to do the work. Oh no, no, you're 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:20.239 going to get fired too. We're going to fire everybody now. 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:25.000 Right now, layoffs have not become widespread, but some companies 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:29.760 are making cuts. Just last Thursday, Target said it's cutting 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:34.560 about one thousand corporate employees and another eight hundred that 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:39.160 are open are no longer going to be open. AI. 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.080 We don't know which way it's going, and have we 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.480 figured out yet how AI is going to do our segments. 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:47.919 We did it once, and we want to know if 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.040 it's any better. Yeah, we're still working on that. The 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.080 person who's helping us out is no longer with us. 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.479 Oh yeah here, yeah, because AI has replaced the person 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:01.600 who was doing that, So now we need AI to 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:06.560 replace the person who was working with AI to do that. 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.520 I couldn't have said it any better. Thank you very much, 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:16.119 Thank you very very much. Okay, Now, I don't know 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.560 if you're a big fan of haunted houses. I am not. 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.440 I do well. First of all, I don't watch horror movies. 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.720 Let's start with that, because I can't sleep for three 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.160 weeks after a horror movie. I'm a real pantyways when 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.840 it comes to that. Also, I don't go to those 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:35.480 haunted houses at the various theme parks and the ones 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.480 that are put up because they're they're pretty impressive. Now, 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:44.359 Neil creates haunted houses, and you did one for you 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.800 helped the school MAXI School right create times. 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:52.560 This year I was an ancillary player doing some props 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:57.560 and some animatronics and stuff, some video projection things, and 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:01.600 but last year I I headed it up with a 0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:03.879 team and I love doing it. 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:05.880 I don't think. Let me ask you how to gore 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:07.760 per se. Yeah, let me ask you this. You put 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:09.680 you put you put an eight year old kid through 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.760 a haunted house where the monsters come out and Jason 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:17.080 comes out and arms that are decapitated, you know, heads 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:19.840 are flying around. How does that kid not stay in 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.399 therapy for the next thirty years? Explain that one to me. 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.000 Well, I don't do those kinds of things. But there's 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:28.960 some people that have different responses. The the fear response 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:32.159 is similar to like a thrill response of a roller 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:35.840 coaster or something like that. And some people really love 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:40.880 you know, having their you know, their heart rate jump up. 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.919 And there was a recently Bill I just saw an 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.520 a I think it was in some magazine or something, 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:52.399 did a breakdown of the scariest movies the scientists actually 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.960 put you know, did a study to see how people's 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:57.679 body reacted to certain movies. 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.280 They just some people love it. Yeah, I can't. I 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.760 don't understand that I'm scared so much. But in any case, Uh, 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:07.480 you can rent the Poltergeist house in Simi Valley. Yeah, 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:12.280 came in yep. Uh, And uh it's an airbnb. And 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:15.080 there are other homes out there around the country. Some 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:18.439 have been around forever, some have just opened up. Uh, 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:25.000 as the rentals Airbnb. Uh, Salem, Massachusetts is the fastest 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:31.320 rising Halloween destination on this platform platform being do you 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.440 want to rent? Do you want to go to Airbnb 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.760 and rent a haunted house? Now, there is one place 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:40.000 I'm going to ask you if you know this and 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.520 I read this because I don't look into this as 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.280 far as I'm going to go there. Uh, there is 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:51.040 one city that remains the undisputed top of the list 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:53.360 when it comes to haunted places and haunted houses. Where 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:58.159 do you think that would be? Do do do do? Do? Do? 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:02.720 Do do doo? Dude, I don't know. Okay, New Orleans? Oh, 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:06.000 New Orleans, Yeah, that makes sense. They have so many 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:10.879 of these houses on the West coast. Which city do 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:14.040 you think this is a fun one on the West coast? 0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:20.680 Which city has the highest number of haunted hot haunted houses? 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:26.479 Haunted hounse anyway, I don't know what that phrase is, 0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:28.480 but which city do you think is number one on 0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:32.480 the West coast in terms of haunted homes? I don't 0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:43.680 know what Cono kono that is correct? Con O no Bernardino, Yep, yep, 0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:48.080 they do. It's exactly correct. It is a huge Halloween draw. 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:52.119 Go figure that one out. It's which I have to 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.840 look at the one in well, we know the Siami 0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:56.600 Valley one, but there's one here that I want to 0:23:56.600 --> 0:24:00.920 look ab at San Bernardino. I'm all over the place. 0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:09.320 Saint Helen's, Oregon, Fayetteville, Fullerton has one. Fullerton has one. 0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:12.040 And these are people who Now people go to these things, 0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:14.359 which I never would because I would be scared to death. 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:19.720 It's not so much seeing a ghost or a Pultzergeist 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:24.080 or Casper. It's the knocks on the door. It's all 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.280 of a sudden, the room gets cold and there's a 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:32.040 draft going through it. You hear giggling off in the background, and. 0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:36.000 Hearing children would freak me out, or a faint woman's voice. 0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:39.919 But knocking on a door and getting chilly, come on. 0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.639 I've spent the night in at least two places that 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:45.560 are reported to be haunted. The Magic Castle, I spent 0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:48.840 the night in once during the Tim O'Neil show, I think. 0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:51.240 And then I spent the night. 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:56.119 In the haunted cabin at the Queen Mary. 0:24:57.480 --> 0:24:59.080 Oh you stayed in that one in. 0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:02.600 That room, yeah, yeah, And there was a the bed 0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.280 looked like someone sat on it, like well, we were 0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:06.520 talking out of the court of my eye. 0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:08.199 It looked like someone sat on it. 0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.280 But I don't believe in in ghosts in that sense. 0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:17.080 I stayed at in the Queen Mary once, not in 0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:20.960 the haunted house, but in the hotel itself, and I 0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:24.000 watched play there a couple of times. Yeah, KFI connected 0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.399 to some kind of a magic show there, a weird, 0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:30.639 weird magic show that went on, and the place already 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:35.600 closed down. And going through the halls of the Queen Mary, 0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:39.920 oh Man, past the rooms by yourself eleven o'clock at night. Boy, 0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:42.119 that was not a pleasant experience. Oh I love the 0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:46.960 Queen God, it was horrible. All right, we are done. 0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:51.200 This is KFI AM six forty. You've been listening to 0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:54.040 the Bill Handle Show.
