Stephen Hawking, one of the world's smartest people issues a dire warning on artificial intelligence.

Yeah, there isn't any warning us off space aliens from time that time as well. He's the only person out there with any common sense in my opinion.

The more on that coming up, and also two plain reslated stories, one nostalgic, the other gossipy goodness like airplanes, yes, our airplanes.

Okay, or you know, an infinite flat surface in geometry. I just want to make sure or the shop gear that will thin your flat board.

Yes, an excellent tool. So listen, this one's this one's at least partly for Jack. It's so, you know, we've been working together for a long time.

And if you don't know this, Jack has 65 years. That's right. That's right. We put the show together in 19. What was it?

52. Um, so the Bee Gees ruled the charts. That's right. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was merely a US Senator. The War of 1812 was raging. Yes, 1952. So, uh, so we're almost exactly the same age, but I had my kids young and Jack has little kids now.

And my youngest kid is 18, for instance, and Jack's got, are they eight and six at this point? Your failures? Five and three quarters. Okay.

As the youngest one will point out, yes, and seven and a half. Okay. There you are.

Matters to them at that age for some reason. So thank God I'm not even older than I am. So it's a few more months ago, but I want you to hear. Oh, so during my raising little kids area, period of life.

I'm both working like crazy to try to get the career going. Jack was never anything, but a patient in his understanding is he could be about the fact that I was raising three babies while trying to do this job, but you didn't get it. Of course not in the way that, you know, you can't get it unless you've dealt with it.

And in that spirit, I want to tell you what happened to me yesterday, Jack, I accidentally slept for three hours in the afternoon. And since I had nothing to do and no one needed me, nobody woke me up. Yeah, that's pretty hard for you.

How far away from your reality is that? Well, I haven't slept during the daytime and God, I don't know, might have last year once. Yeah.

Yeah, meant to take a cat nap three hours later. My wife's waking me up. Joe, it's a nighttime. Don't. I don't think I've slept past 6.30 a.m. in years. Yeah. Yeah.

So I'm in the accidental multi hours. I'm proportionally. I know. That's something. Oh, man. It's crazy. The rhythms alive. I remember when I the first time I got a cold after I had, uh, had kids. I thought, wow, I'm sick, but I don't get to come home and go to bed anymore. Nobody cares.

They just hadn't occurred to me. What? I mean, it's obvious, but in, you know, until I had a cold, I hadn't thought of it.

Because before I had a cold, I'd, you know, go home. Take me to the whole week. I just lay in the couch with a cold. Right. Watch TV. Sometimes I don't even need a cold.

Right. You're very resourceful. Right. Yeah. So anyway, I'm a three hours really good today. That's also really energetic.

So, uh, two plane related stories first. One, if you're of a certain age, you might remember what a big deal the 747 was. Oh, back in the day. When I was a kid, it was just like it was the marvel of flight. I would only see him on TV.

I had never been on a 747. I'd never been on any plane. And none of my friends had, but I'd seen him on TV. I actually don't. The second story. Yeah.

The footage you'd see or pictures of what the interior of the first class looked like is always astounding. I actually don't know if I've ever been on a 747. But anyway, it was.
