All right, cut up here at 508. We'll drink and toast with a shot of the day. And we do have your headlines on the way of 550. But first quick check-up with Mike Hawk and some of the stories and headlines he is not working on. Well, thank you, Miles. A new report says companies are turning toward AI as they lay off employees. Show of hands. Who's surprised? No one. Right. No one. That exactly what we said when all this stuff got started? Yeah, I mean, that's...

Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, that's it. Save money. No AI. We're just saving more. We just have too many people as all. We're not all going to AI. Right. Now they say the tech sector in Seattle's going to be hit hard. Already started. I absolutely believe it.

No.

Not even close.

Yeah, you'll never need a human.

Yeah.

Nope.

Yep.

It's fine.

It'll totally be fine.

The thing is, I want to see when the fallout's going to show up.

You know, like you said, the tech sector is going to get hit really, really hard.

A lot of other players are going to get hit really, really hard. A lot of other places are going to get hit really, really hard. But then,

at some point, like you're saying, never going to need a human, never going to do an actual body in there. Your product's not totally going to suffer for it. It will. When's that fallout show up? That's the one I'm waiting for. As did.

Here's the thing you got to keep in mind.

Like a lot of this stuff to, you know,

gets bought by these billionaires Are mostly private equity Yeah Like that's all they're gonna do Yeah Like watch Goodfellas When they take over that guy's restaurant What do they do? They run up all the bills And this and that Run out of money You torture It's basically what they're doing. Basically. Right?

Like, I don't understand why there's no more like, you know, chain restaurants or this or that. And it's like, well, look at what happened. I don't understand what happens to Vegas. Well, there's only two companies now that own each side of the street. That is correct. So it's like, it'll be the same thing. It'll just get to a tipping point. maybe we just stopped buying the products

isn't so bad. That's all you can do really to a tipping point. Maybe we just stopped buying the products because it's so

bad. That's all you can do, really. Sure. Yeah. The penguin cold plunge in Vermont has been

postponed. It's frozen. No penguins. It's too cold. Yeah. It's fridge of temperatures.
