1
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: It's the radio segment that's decided to take on KFC,

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: launching a restaurant with the same menu, but bigger chickens.

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: He calls them chunkins. Get your chunkins more bang for

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: your back Storderlooking a segonary, we read weird news stories

5
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: around the globe, just like everyone else does, except we

6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: have a laser and those other buck bugs just don't.

7
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: This first laser story is out of social media central.

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Karen Marjorie is a twenty three year old influencer with

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: over one point eight million followers on Snapchat, and she

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: just started charging one dollar per minute not to talk

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: to her, but to talk to an AI version of herself.

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, could you say a dollar?

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: Permit it?

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: I did. It's a chat buck called Karen AI. Oh

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: my god.

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: It sounds like it's just gonna yell it.

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. She's billing it as a virtual girlfriend.

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 3: Oh hi, I'll care about you.

19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 2: She says.

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: Over two thousand hours of coding went into making it

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: sound just like her, and it even has her personality. Apparently,

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: it feels like you're talking directly to her.

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: Damn. It's kind of.

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: Sad that your entire personality can just be recreated by

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: a robot that I'm offended, But then I'm like, if

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: I programmed my robot and just be very excited, right,

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: crazy reactions all the time.

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think you would hate to talk to

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 3: yourself if you had your.

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Own Yes, I would like, what bro, you're mi bro?

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: What's up?

00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: Then you'd be like this guy's any Yeah, No, I

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: get it.

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: Her website for It claims she's the first influencer to

36
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: do this, but she probably won't be the last because

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: she's already making very good money. She launched the beta

38
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: version this month and already has more than a thousand

39
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: paying customers who.

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: Went to the Kardashians Do This where it's like what

41
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: are you?

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: I'd actually pays, she says.

43
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: In the first week she made over seventy grand seven.

44
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: She thinks it could eventually bring in five million per month.

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: Live what happens when the AI gets its own mind

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: and steals her money? Though? You know.

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Karen says, the program has run into one big snaffoo.

48
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: It keeps engaging into sexually explicit conversation.

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: What did she expect? I mean, I'm not like, are

50
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: you that naive.

51
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: As a twenty three year old woman.

52
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: I guess you're right. I didn't think about that, but

53
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: now that I think about it, that's the people that

54
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: are gonna pay it. She says.

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Her team and her are working around the clock to

56
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: make sure that doesn't continue to happen. Yeah right, although

57
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: some people are doubting that's really an issue. They think

58
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: Karen just mentioned that to the press to get more subscribers.

59
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, which she did.

60
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: Oh my my chef, but talks dirty and I can't

61
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: control it.

62
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: I must stop this or not. I should have not

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: programmed all those dirty words I recorded two thousand hours. Yeah,

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: just clean fun, I promise, Just say hi. It's like,

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: how are you baby? Yeah? Wait a minute.

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: This next Lazer story is out of the nifty swifty

67
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: fan clubs. No, there's no fan like a Taylor Swift fan.

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 3: Oh that is right. They're intense, but.

69
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: Even swifties admit it's gone too far. After one woman's

70
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: recent post on eBay, she listed a pair of dried

71
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: up disposable contacts for sale for ten thousand dollars. Whoa

72
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: And the reason they cost that much is because they

73
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: are contacts that have actually seen the Taylor Swift.

74
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: It's not Taylor Swift's contact, right.

75
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: Not Taylor's just worn by a fan who was in

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: the crowd at Taylor's most recent tour.

77
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: They do you think when I get those for my

78
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: nine year old, it'll be you know, I'll be like, honey,

79
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: they saw the show, so you don't need to go.

80
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: Goodness. Lots of comments came in on it. One road,

81
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: Why didn't I think of this?

82
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: Another person said, help, why are we Swifties so unseerious

83
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: like cry emoji. In the end, the sale was taken

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: down and the cellar claimed it was just a joke. However,

85
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: they only said that after it didn't sell.

86
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: I mean, if they would have started it like one

87
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: hundred bucks, I bet they could have made the money.

88
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: Somebody out there this next Lazer stories out of Food News.

89
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: Does this sound like a good mashup? Or would it

90
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: be a hard pass? Because Velveta is now selling cheese

91
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: filled chocolate creamy kind of.

92
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: You when you think about it, there's the pictures of it.

93
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: They're called Velveta chocolate truff vels.

94
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: On the inside. Never mind, but it's not even real cheese.

95
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: It's Velveta cheese.

96
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 2: Like for people can't see.

97
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: Each one is shaped like Velveta shells in cheese pasta,

98
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: but the shells are made of white chocolate. They used

99
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: food coloring to just make them look yellow, and then

100
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: on the inside it's filled with the same stuff that

101
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: comes in the boxes of their mac and cheese.

102
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I think that's so gross.

103
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: They went with a cheese sauce, not the old school

104
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: brick of Velveta.

105
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet you do.

106
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: That checks out.

107
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: If the cheese isn't a deal breaker for you, this

108
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: might be because they're not cheap. A box of five

109
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: costs twenty five bucks.

110
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: Valveda.

111
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: The whole point was that it was cheap. That was

112
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: literally the whole point.

113
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, this makes the ten thousand dollars contacts look like

114
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: a bargain. Someone who tried them said they're more cheesy

115
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: than chocolatey. Yeah, and the filling is quote Velvida in

116
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: all its glory.

117
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: Anybody all scared? It doesn't have to be refrigerated.

118
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're available online. Wall supplies last, so it's a

119
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: limited time thing.

120
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: Only eminem should jump on this as an Eminem's and

121
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: Velveta mash up.

122
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: You know, no, thank you this next their stories out

123
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: of the Study of money. Here's a hot new term,

124
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: tipping fatigue. Oh that's when you're sick of constantly being

125
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: asked to leave a tip in situations where it.

126
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 2: Used to be considered weird. Yeah. Well, the Wall Street.

127
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: Journal just did a big write up on how we're

128
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: even being asked now to leave tips at self checkouts.

129
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: Oh no, she did. I was worried about this the

130
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: other day.

131
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: I was at, like, you know, one of those yogurt

132
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: shops where you go and you fill your own stuff,

133
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: you put your own stuff on, yeah, the froio. And

134
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: then I went up after I got all the kids

135
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: stuff and I went to pay, and they're like, would

136
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: you like to tip?

137
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: And I did, but I didn't feel quite right about

138
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: it because I'm like, you didn't do anything. Well, the

139
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: same thing at like Hugson News. In an airport, That's

140
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: what someone brought up.

141
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: They said they bought a six dollars bottle of water

142
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: at self checkout at the Newark Airport. It asked them

143
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: if they wanted to leave a ten or a twenty

144
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: percent tip?

145
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 2: You did in the computer. They said it felt like

146
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: emotional black mail. And there's people behind you watching too.

147
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: You don't have time to think. It's like totally I know.

148
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 3: I mean I tipped eighteen percent, so I was like, well,

149
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 3: I'll drop it down to cheap.

150
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: Do anything. Organization said, The money does go to employees

151
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: who work there.

152
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: But it just the organization said, ak a, we're gonna

153
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: pay them a little less so you could pay them more.

154
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: It does just feel weird to leave a tip when

155
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: you didn't actually interact with anyone on is that our tip?

156
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: I know what you probably think.

157
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make it just the tip joke here, but

158
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm classier than that. Don't go on my Twitter for

159
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: the dirty turtle joke of the week because I can't
