"Gets all flustered anytime someone mentions variants, Ashton Kutcher or tiny dancer comes on. Okay, I better run with he's trying to warm up pizza in the toaster again. Again, I told you, you gotta wrap it in ten for him. Dear Tom. Yes. Thanks for nothing. This starts off. Now what? I'm a farmer from near wad or Lou, Iowa. We grow corn and soybeans at race beef counts. A lot of farmers in this area, grain bins, grain bins for storage, grain on the farm. That way we can Halloween in the process. There's an ethanol plant in my area, and we haul corn to a lot a couple of weeks ago. I held a few lows on Monday and was on my first load of the day next day on Tuesday. And law enforcement officers that are the same as a police officer but takes care of commercial vehicles and force laws on semis on my way with my first load on Tuesday. I got pulled over by one of these officers he proceeded to ask me questions and do a roadside inspection of my truck, okay? This is where you come in, Tom. We're almost done and he was going to let me go with just a couple of fix it warnings. Yeah. He then asked me if I had a scale ticket from the last load I hold so he could see the weight that I've been hauling from Monday. I said, yes, I do, but that all. That was yesterday. The officer stared at me for what felt like minutes with absolutely no emotion on his face. He then told me to get out of the vehicle, ask me if I'd been drinking. A field sobriety test, I passed, and then he tore up the warnings and wrote me two $150 taxes. Oh, man. Just for going back yesterday. That's exactly right. That of course

"On Westwood one. Okay, week 8, I don't know about you, but half my fantasy team has hurt. How many carts? How many cars? I don't know. Does the NFL have like an odometer on all the carts in the NFL, like coast to coast? Because if it was lyles, these pork, I know. And then of course there's a fame DK Metcalf cart, the first one. The second one is not so funny. The first one was funny. But I mean, my gosh. So you might be looking out there, Bruce hall. I had him on every single fantasy team other than the one that we had on. So I guess it's not every fantasy team. But breece hall. Perfect example. You're riding high in April and you're carted off in May. That's life. So that's why we turn to the church. A brother Jefferson, the fantasy church of brother Jefferson, here on a Friday edition of the rich eisen show. Rise up. The fantasy church is open. We got to get the music going. She fell. I knew that. I welcome to the gospel, the fantasy hymn though with brother Jefferson as we get you ready for the fantasy week. Now listen, the devil, we all know the devil works hard, but we're working a little bit harder. This week, biweek shouldn't be an issue. Last week, the devil was that hard to work with bio weeks this week. He only got the chiefs and the Chargers not playing, so we're good. We're good. But again, we're going to get you ready. We're going to tell you the guys are going to take it to the land of milk and honey and the guys that stay away from now coming up this week where I'll tell you who's not him, brother Brock, and you see these men. They're going to try to tempt you. You see, they're going to tempt you with the fruit. They have the flesh and they're going to try to bring it in. But you got it. You're going to resist. This brother brockman said no. Here's who you're going to sit. Michael Carter, jets versus patriots. Yeah. You got James Robinson, right? Brace holes out. You're thinking, maybe I want to play Michael Carter. Nah, I don't like him against that patch defense. Let him go. AJ Dillon. Listen, he has no catches in two of his last three games. He has two games over that span with 6 carries or less. So they're not even running them rich. I'm leaving AJ on the pew this Sunday, okay? I want nothing to do with him against the bills. And Justin Phillips you know this guy. Come on. This guy should cut your code. And then he really is high on Justin Fields in the Barrett. But I'm here to tell you where brother Kutcher went wrong. Pastors on the tank. Yes. Yes, he did have his best game of the season in week 7 against brockman's patriots. He's doing a great job with his legs, rushing for 47 yards, 5 games in a row, but the cowboys haven't allowed a quarterback to score more than 20 fantasy points this season. They allow just an average of 12.3 points per game, so brother fields. This Sunday, I hope you stay healthy, but you're gonna have to sit on the pew 'cause you are not him. That's right, you were not him. Now, who is him? Who do we wanna start? Who's gonna help lead you to the take it to the path of righteousness? Travis ATN. From ATN, brother James Robinson. He's been banished. You see, he's been sent away. He's been playing out in the county of Duval. And that leaves the incident as the man. You see, Travis, the Broncos, Travis is first. And yards per touch at nearly 7 yards per touch, right? The Broncos have allowed a running back to squirtle's 13 PPR points and 5 games in a row. That tells you the ATM as he eats his fish and chips. Over in London town, he will ball out for you and lead you to Salvation and glory. Now, this one I've never said this before, but deacon Daniel Jones gave it down. You see, the Seahawks have allowed an average of 21 fantasy points per game and they've allowed 263 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns to oppose and QBs. Now, we know Danny dimes, right? Very underrated with his legs, brockman, my man can run. He's got three games at least 68 yards rushing and he has three rushing touchdowns over that span. So Danny dimes put him in your lineup and ride him to Salvation. Times on the collection plan. That's right. Speaking of which I can feel it passing around the collection playtime and give a little bit if you can. And now Adam feeling brother feeling goes up against the card was. And look, it is passed through meetings with the Cardinals Adam feeling out and feeling rich likes playing Arizona last three meetings he has 22 catches for 227 yards, three touchdowns and at least 15 point poor point per reception points. So stick brother feeling in your lineup and feel good about it now. I'd like to say head of gut. This is the time where you have to reach deep down inside of your soul and make a decision. And when I'm telling you it is this week, we're talking about brother Dalton. That's right, the red rifle, and the Dalton, and I'm gonna tell you to ride brother Dalton to glory. Yes, start him. You see the raiders allow an average of 27.8 puts per game to the quarterback position and don't just had 34 best game of the season against the Cardinals. And I will say this, right where the Dalton, but, but here's the thing if brother Jameis, if the holy ghost hills brother jamison's body, you see if he does get touched like a prayer warrior. As he died in the glory as he sent you to the land of milk and honey. And now brothers and sisters. Can I get an amen? I should let us play. Yes lord let us play. Let's take us home brother Dell to vote. Take us home, brother. Well done, sir. I love the piano plan, the organs. I think we finally got the mix

"Or Justin Fields, total yards. Oh my God. It's an easy one right there. Yeah. Justin Fields total yards. That is not what I was thinking. I don't think Dax gonna have more passing yards than fields has total yards. Justin Fields only add two 50 total. I got it. Okay. Yeah. Oh, interesting. I'm gonna go the other way with that one. This is me personally. Fantastic. Let's revisit this Monday. I will take Justin Fields total yards. You know why? Why is that? We all do it. I'm gonna do it. Guys, I'll join you let me focus.

Oh, by the way, the way that he's setting up what's coming. This is like me and Kushner fantasy this is what's coming. Your home dogs, your home dogs, you're not supposed to win. Great. What's more likely the Patriots want run wild in a win or Zach Wilson makes Belichick his daddy. Rock the baby. So stupid. What do you mean? What stupid about that? Supposition. You have, this is your guy, you said. Yeah, but the jets win without him making any telling anybody. Jets don't win unless he plays well. Jack Wilson does isn't doing the Josh naylor on Belichick, man. Nobody's son, rocking the baby. They would have made him look like his daddy on Monday. Zach Wilson. Is not going

"A great fantasy team name. All right, Ashton, look, we've been asking all bears fans to call in. And you're just Ashton from Los Angeles at this point in time. Action from pardon me. Well, at the moment. Right. Ashton from Cedar Rapids on the rich eisen show. We've been asking all bears fans to just scream the word ebert flutes at the top of their lungs and see how it makes them feel. Would you kindly do that as we send you on for the rest of your Friday, sir? How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel? Oh, God, it feels good. By the way, by the way, in iber flu, right is maybe you enter Central Park for those final few miles of the marathon. That would be great. If any point in time, you feel flagging on that bum knee, you just scream iber flu and that will get you through. I'll get you through. If we get a win, if we get a win over the daltons, I may well do that. While I'm running, if we beat the dolphins, you may see some weird guys screaming ebert. I can't wait. Ashton, thank you for the call, sir. Again, what's that website again that people can go and donate to for Thorne for your run? Just go check out Thorne dot org. Okay, very good. Dot org. Thanks for the call, Ashton. You'd be well. And enjoy the weekend. Thank you. You got it. All right, bro. Ashton Kutcher at everybody right here on the Richard show.

"I might have to listen to this bears dolphins and I might have to listen to that game while I'm running the marathon. Yeah, they'll get you through it. So I don't miss the game, but yeah, I'm booze free until the finish line next Sunday and I've got I have to sort of treat my body right so I'm not going to be like pounding like crazy fried food or anything else. And then you're also you've been having I guess a team following along our future selves is a series of dedicated running content of you getting ready for the New York City marathon and this is a fundraiser too, right? How can people get involved to try and raise money with your run here? Yeah, so I have a nonprofit that I started working on for 15 years of fighting the sexual exploitation of children. And so the nonprofit's called Thorne and we're at thorn dot org and we build software to help companies and law enforcement find kids that are being sexually exploited. And we found, we've identified over 25,000 kids that are being sexually exploited, utilizing our software. And we just continue to build the most innovative software in the world to fight because a lot of these guys that are in ladies that are abusing these kids. They use pretty advanced techniques and we have to stay ahead of them and just continue to be sort of a cut above. So we have a hundred people that are running with Thorne that are running the marathon because at the end of the day this work is a marathon, not a sprint. Yeah, for a long time. And we have to just continue to persevere and sort of all the metaphor works in this case very well. So if anybody wants to help us out, they can go to Thorne dot org backslash Ashton runs. And donate. And so I partnered up with peloton and for the training of this. And did an interview series while running on treadmills, which I thought would be kind of funny. To help educate people about the sort of why behind the marathon for me and the why behind why successful people get up every day and do what they do. They're amazing, amazing brother. That is amazing. And what is your what's the time you're trying to get in the marathon or just finish you just want to get past that 26 mile long? What do you got for me? I started with this just finish idea. And then I started getting cocky and I was like, oh, you know what? I'm gonna be able to do this in like under four hours. And then I started getting really cocky and I was like, I wonder if I could actually qualify for the Boston Marathon with the time that I run this thing. Okay. I got down to like 8 minute miles at like 15 miles. I was like, oh, you know what? I just have to cut 30 seconds off of each one of those. And then I injured myself and I started having like bone decay and my knee. Damn. Tendonitis. So I've been I've been nursing a weak knee and I've had a sort of reset the goal back to four hours. Okay. And so I'm going to try to finish it another four hours. I think the average finish for the New York marathon is four 36. So I think I could do it in four hours. Well, I mean, I'm a short distance runner usually for charity, Ashton? Not long distance runners, but the only thing that I can relate to with the New York City marathon, coming from where I come from is running away from Staten Island as fast as I can. So although there's not a bridge, baby. Although that Arizona bridge, that is a ridiculous incline. That is a wild uphill start to this race, by the way. So be prepared for that. That's the only thing I can tell you for that. Here's the good news. Is that I have been running in Los Angeles a lot. And my House is up like on mulholland. And so I run from sunset all the way up to mulholland. Damn. I don't know. I don't think the verrazzano bridge incline is going to be worse than the model. All right, man. Yeah, one of those canyons. Okay, very good. And rich also with he and I were playing each other in fantasy this year. Oh my goodness. This year this week. I started this league back in when I moved here, so our first year was the year 2000. And I'm in last place. 7 and one. So I'm coming for him this week. We need some video we need a live stream when we need something from barn this weekend. I'll send something out from the board. We had to pull the first stats out of the USA Today. Yeah. We started in like 99, 2000. I used to take track in the notebook. I love that. Yeah, I love it. We're like analog OG. But he's never won a championship. I have won three. This is looking like his best chance. I used to put it out there, I hope he never win because he has enough good stuff going on in his house. How many yachts can you water ski Bond? True. But now I'm kind of rooting for him because after like 22 years, bro it's like get this man a title. But I'm definitely coming to take him out this week. You're only rooting for me right now because you're Owen. I

"I think it's going to be a good game. I do worry though that the bears are working on a short week and it's too rogue games in a row. And I had someone counsel me once that you never want to bet on a team that's playing their second road game in a row. Because that's tough. So I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst going into the weekend. So what do you make of that? That idea of TJ or that whole, I guess, supposition of what this weekend is going to look like. Is it true you sit there and you won't say a word? Yeah, we generally tend not to we're two people who are into the game. So we don't talk a lot during a game that's on. We'll just, like you said, play. But rich is really, he's kind of interested in where we're going to watch the game. So I told him about the barn and he's just like, he can't wrap his mind around the barn. So maybe you want to explain that to him. Well, I mean, there's so my wife and I built a house. And there's a room that is a large room in the barn. Which is just adjacent to the house. And it's got a very large screen that will be dedicated to the game. And then there's a bar in the other room. So there's basically a bar and a TV room for watching the game. We'll be in there. And again, what do you want me to do? That's a good question. I honestly wasn't going to ask that TJ, but now that we're there. Now that we're there, again, this is just a sort of an aesthetic layout. There's not actually animals in this facility, correct? It's like a converted barn. Very good. The barn that's been converted into like a bar slash place to watch. Beautiful. There's a barn and then you remove the end. There's a bar in a barn. But here's what I really am interested in here. Okay. Because you're assuming TJ, this is a cowboy victory. Yeah. No question, right? This is a rollover, dac was just getting warmed up against the lines. He got his feet what he dipped his toe back in the NFL. Now it's going to be like a full on cannonball for the cowboys into this pool with dak back and come in and it's all good. What happens though? Ashton Kutcher with this whole you're just watching the game saying nothing. What if the bears do lay it on the cowboys in the same way they lay it on the Patriots and you're up by double digits third quarter fourth quarter and you know TJ is totally dying inside. Does that elephant in the room get addressed? Ashton Kutcher. Yes or no? I'm not a rub it in kind of guy. I'm not going to like drop it in and grind it down. Like I've had enough seasons with the bears now. They're like, I'm not here to like rub it in. Here's some interesting detail on the game. The bears have recorded almost I think twice as many sacks this season as the cowboys have. Our defense and it really looked like our secondary was starting to gel against a patriots now. It did help that they put zapping him, which I don't know what Belichick was doing. I'm not here to question the Bill Belichick, but I'm questioning Bill Belichick. But our secondary looks like it's gelling. And if that secondary is truly gelling. And our front floor, although we did just get rid of Quinn, we did this to make this trade for Robert Quinn to the eagles. So but if our front floor can create pressure and we can get back a little bit sideways, look, I like the ground of pal bears. What will really happen is if we are winning and we're winning like we were winning against the Patriots, I'll just start dissecting why we're winning and why whites will probably not win another game. Even if we do win because it's like when it's your team you can't help but dissect why the rest of the season is going to be terrible. May you get in the bears have more sex in the cowboys. What website did you get that from? Well, I think we have like 27 facts on the season. We have 29 and you guys have what, 12? No, that can't be right. That's right. I think one of us needs to be there on Sunday to arbitrate this thing here. Like Molly, we need to be in the middle of it or maybe McCarthy. What's the data? What's the real data? Tell me about it. Oh, that is the data. The cowboys have 29 sacks in the bears have 12. Well, but you're looking at a different you're looking at different stat line than what I'm looking at. I'm looking at NFL dot com teams. Here's the deal. This is the bears at 27 sex this season. I don't know. I've given up 27. That's what you're looking at. I think you're also looking at the 1985 version of the app never existed. I don't know. It's entirely possible because the bears are doing things that they haven't done before, like winning a New England. 1985 was also the last throwing the football. It's unreal man. So maybe just McCarthy pulls a Belichick, it puts Cooper rush in the game and out of nowhere. It was part of the plan. Maybe this is what the bears do to other teams. You never know. Our entire friendship has been built upon the bears and the cowboys. When he and I first met randomly at a bar back in 2001, I sat next, he randomly sat next to me. He's wearing a bear's hat and then we started talking actually yelling about football. Yes. That's how our friendship began. And when we live with each other, it was when Emmett was chasing Walter Payton's Russian record. So every Sunday, this cowboys whiteboard isn't new. I had a whiteboard way back then. And I would write Walter Payton's record and Emmett's record and I would update it every Sunday morning and I would sit at right by the TV. So every Sunday we'd watch football, he'd have to see like the Emmett yardage go up and up to overtake while there. And I know he didn't really like that. Damn, man. Here we go. Hold on. Hold on. The argument was whether Walter Payton or Amit Smith. We put Jim Brown to site. We said, okay. We know Jim brownson. Who is the greatest running back of all time? This is our first conversation. We ever had. All need to be ended by a conversation that we had with Emmett Smith. Where we asked them to sit through the greatest running back of all time was, and he said Walter Payton. But what's he going to say? I mean, of course, he's going to say, Walter Payton, like, come on. But Emmett knew, he looked at me and he went. He easily he could have just said me, but he didn't TJ. Because he wanted to be respectful, man. Emmett say Walter Payton, yes. Did he mean it? No. I've met Emmitt Smith many, many times, and he doesn't he's no wallflower, certainly when he's pounding the table for his own accolades. He would have said me if he really meant it. I think he actually met Walter Payton. I couldn't have what I'm saying. TJ, if you ask who the most handsome guy in our fantasy football league is, I'm going to say me. No, you want it to be you. I've got to say to me. Well, now that Jordy's out of the league it might be you. I don't know. Air day might have something to say about that. Oh, really? Might be might be only one guy in the league used to be a model and that's me. That's a good question here on the witch hunt show. I imagine, though, whatever lunch might be served, Ashton, you might tap out of anything that's high in calories or not protein or anything like that because you're training right now for the marathon. The New York City marathon. Ashton? Yeah, yeah, I have to run this next Sunday. There's actually thinking about it. It's like, not this study but the following Sunday. I'm running the marathon and it's during the bears game. And this is a real problem for me because the actual marathon is like the running of it is during the bears game and I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I'm about to change prepositions instead of bringing him up. I'm gonna bring him on. Yeah. How about that? Getting set to watch the bears cowboys game with you TJ Jefferson. Yeah. This very weekend is a die hard bears fan who I have just learned is getting set to run the New York City marathon. Joining us here on the rich eisen show thrilled to have Ashton Kutcher here on the program on the Mercedes Benz van's phone line. How you doing, Ashton? I'm really good. I'm really good, rich. How are you? I'm doing, you know what? I'm not like, I'm good. I'm not iber flute's good, though. You know? Oh, man. You mean Monday night Matt? That's the guy. Yes, sir. You must be fired up, huh? Ashton? Oh, boy. I have to tell you, it's been a really Jacqueline Heidi kind of season, but Monday I felt like the whole package started to kind of come together. It was really nice to watch. It was indeed, you know, and a team that just keeps on keeping on. That's what I saw last Monday. I saw a team that was aggressive and I saw a team that didn't take any snaps off, but actually put it right on Belichick on a night where he was supposed to be anointed to pass of all people George halas. That was a big night for the bears. Big time. Yeah, that was going to happen. That way, the bears were going to let that happen. I mean, we need to pass papa bear on against the bears. Like that would have been. I mean, I had to be like a pregame speech in the locker room. There's no question that I had to come up. That had to. The thing about that I was observing was it felt like instead of fields running from a scrambling position, it felt like they finally sort of flipped over and were like, all right, we're actually going to call run plays for fields. And let him show his athleticism, which also scares me when you're starting quarterback is like a core piece of your running game. Because it has a tendency to lead to injuries. But it worked. And it worked on a real on a real level. Well, I'm going to counsel you if you don't mind me doing so, Ashton Kutcher. I'm a jet fan, and I wear scars as well. Although you've got trophies in the case that you can remember, I was just barely just a twinkle in my mother's eye when the jets actually won a Super Bowl. That maybe just maybe you should view that what you just said as a positive that the coaches are deciding to actually make the playbook about Justin Fields and say, you know what, I may have a playbook that I brought from Green Bay, The O.C. Luke gets, and you know what? Let's make this about fields in the same way that the ravens make it about Lamar. And let's ride. Maybe that's what we just saw. I see it as a positive. I just always get worried that my quarterback is going to get hurt and then what? So but look, it's about winning football games, right? And it's about beating them cowboys this weekend and then I get TJ and I get to watch TJ Powell for the rest of the week, which is always exciting for me. Fantastic. By the way, I just had to look up. It's Trevor Simeon, who is your backup. And as a jet fan, I would counsel you against having him in the game. I do understand what you're saying. Let's get to it. You got to be feeling really good about your jets this year. I mean, this is really something that's happening. Jet spare Super Bowl. What do you say? What do you think? Next year. I just heard TJ, you're like, get out of here. All right, so let's get to it. What does this weekend look like TJ? What do we have here? Just a dominant cowboys victory. What does it look like? Is that what you mean? So Ashton, I guess, give me set the scene of what's going to look like for the two of you guys this weekend. What do you got? Oh, it's going to be on the couch. TJ's going to be wearing a silly chef's cowboy outfit. I'm sure, and trying to convince my son to become a cowboys fan, which is never going to happen. We'll be post up. And here's what generally happens. Is cheesier I will sit there for about two and a half hours and really maybe talk like a total of like two minutes within that two and a half hours. And just watch the game. We actually won't talk to each other. We'll just yell at the television screen. Pretty much. And then, and then my wife will come in and ask why we watch football together because we don't even have a conversation. I want to explain to her that for us watching the game is like going to the movies. You don't talk during the movie. And talk after the movie about what the movie was about. And then that'll be a whole situation. Look, here's what I'm looking forward to in this game. I actually think the two teams are extraordinarily well matched.

"Extraordinarily difficult to detect tip. Follow people if your parents you wealthier parents. I am also parent you say. Fifty eight percents was on thorns research. Fifty eight percent of parents say they aren't prepared to talk to their children about nonconsensual. Sharing of news generally unsure where to turn for help. I get it can be an awkward conversation. How do you speak to parents each of you about this kind of things again. You both have younger children who first thing you gotta do is just create a safe space. Have a conversation with your kid I joke all the time. And and i don't know my kids will listen to this is it's unfortunate that i do this work because i just force really awkward conversations really early and you know from the minute you put a device in a kid's hand you need to be talking to them in age appropriate language abou- what are they doing what could happen. I mean i can't tell you. How many times have asked my kids you know. Has anyone ever sent you. A new picture zuma not asked you for new picture and it's just like the squirmy awkward. Like what are you talking about god. Gross but if i normalize it and i tell them you know. I'm never going to get mad at you for anything that you do on your device. I want you to be able to come to me with anything that happens. Even if you do something you regret can you come. And tell me and we'll talk about it and we'll figure it out and solve it together and then you have that conversation once and then you have it again every week every month every quarter and you make it really normal and you create a really save space and we have resources on our website and actually we're launching an entire program just for parents. Were actually giving scripts. We're giving prompts. We're giving questions. The biggest thing we can do is just make it normal may get comfortable. Start a conversation avenue. Your kids are a little younger. Arnovitz made them super uncomfortable yet. Like me the already have been conversations with my six year old which she go a six year old and the answer is she has a device in her hands so yeah a six year old. I mean we have a rule in our house. There's no technology in the bedrooms. Like you can use your tablet in a public space and be fine with that. And it's normalizing that from a really young age will make a difference later because that's the rule it said I don't know if that's the best advice. Play all right. I appreciate it..

Who's made some of the best most thought provoking emotional radio stories of ever heard back in two thousand fifteen. Hannah wanted to find out what would happen inside this one public school during a sudden influx of white students into a school that had barely had any white students before and then not satisfied that she fully understood what she was seeing. She went all the way back to the founding of the school in the nineteen sixties and then forward again up to the present day and eventually hana realized she could put a name to the unspoken force that kept getting in the way of making the school better white parents so go listen to nice white parents. Nice white parents made by serial productions and new york times company. You can find it wherever you get your podcasts. So when you're thinking about how effective these tools will actually so you don't know if it's the gold standard. Do you think this is the most aggressive because these kids could now look. Kids can circumvent onto these things. They can hop over to whatsapp or snapchat etc yet. Well so the sharing of naked imagery that's being detected on message is different than the solution. We're talking about with sam so as far as the detection of child sexual abuse material that people are have an iphoto and backing up to cloud. Is that the most aggressive. Yes because we haven't seen another company. Say we're going to create a solution for detecting child sexual abuse material in privacy forward environment and what i would say in how we are going to get to gold standard. The best way we get the best solutions is when you have more solutions in the market so if some companies are saying well. This isn't how you do it. This is okay. how do you do it. I'd like to see more companies put. Cryptographer is the solution put researchers Put engineers on this and we talked about like. Why aren't these solutions. Being developed will. they're also balancing their pnl right. So if i have to hire engineer to build the solution. I can generate advertising revenue off of or i can hire an engineer to stop the spread of abusive content that contributes to the abuse of children around the world. Most likely they're going to choose to hire that engineer to build the content they can sell advertising off of. And what i'm advocating for is you need to be thinking about how your pot farms are abusing children to the epidemic. We're facing child sexual abuse material online and we need more companies to step up and say all right. We're going to figure this out and we're going to try a new solution and when you get a few in the market for when you get a few solutions like this in the market consumers will decide right. Consumers will say. I think this company is both balancing my privacy and i respect them for standing up and saying i don't wanna be complicit so it's a selling point so one of the things that was also brought up if the iphone operating system is going to store a library of hashes. Noah's see sam. What about the possibility of databases being exploited. One of the researchers at stanford told the virtues worried about husky reverse engineer the concept that predators could figure out what images are on the nick database. So when we first started having conversations about solutions in the space that was absolutely the. I fear you go well. The best cryptographer in the world can be reverse engineered and i think the approach. The apple has taken is an a not a privacy for not cryptographer. But i know that they were fully aware of this as an issue going in and from their perspective given the fact that the hashes that come from the national center are not the hashes free that are on the device It's a permutation of the hashes from the national center that are on the device and that permutation is apple's own cryptographic storage of of variability on that hash which is running the detection of the images and they feel confident about that will not be that. It will not be exploited a reverse engineer. And i think the other key to it. Is that the image itself is never revealed on device. Remember it only runs the hash match when it goes to the cloud and then the other half of the equation is in the cloud so someone would not only have to reverse engineer the hashes on the device. They'd also have to reverse engineer. The algorithm is being utilize in cloud do need both pieces of the puzzle to reveal anything. That is encrypted. Okay what are you most worried about going forward. So there's things happening today that we're not even discussing happening at scale so so livestream sex-abuse is quite is big. Both in the form of children who livestream their lives and people grooming them and chat and in the form of people in the developing world actually selling the livestream sexual abuse of their children to make money and that is incredibly difficult to detect because it is a live stream and usually when the cameras go off. You can't find it and then we're already talking to an f. Companies blockchain storage companies. Who are building the future of the internet. Decentralized networks are asking themselves how. Can i make sure that we aren't permanently putting child sexual abuse in what we're selling her what we're building. How do we too dark zone right. How do we stop it early. So this content used to be traded for money and then the credit card companies about ten years ago banded together and took the money out of it but on the dark web. You're now seeing currency come back into the play because it is anonymous so you have dark websites were actually people can pay for on demand child abuse as well so every emerging technology that you hear about in the world and we talk about. Oh how cool on how exciting our job is to think about. How is that going to abuse a child and then not only. How's it going to be as a child. But how can we use emerging technologies to create a safer space for kids. I would say blockchain is probably in the next five years. Probably one of the biggest concerns because it anytime you have technology that's so good and so useful It will be used for this now. It's not as if crypto currency is the problem here But i started talking to vitale future and about this ten years ago. Like right what do we do and how do we. Yeah reach out to me. He was like how do we focus on this And you know there's some great tools that have been built to pseudo demonize Quite a bit of the transactions that are happening in blockchain but there are tools that will continue to roll out. You know minero and other cryptocurrencies. That have these intermediary tumblers that make it..

"Do people misunderstanding. Okay so there are three tools that apple's launching one siri tool that helps people get help. That's one the second tool is only for kids. It's a tool for family. Share which allows parents to determine if a photo is being sent to your kid or from your kid that has a high likelihood of being elicit content and it just sends them notification that. That's one thing i think that function involves any new images. Parents would be flagged regardless even if these images they are sending our legal. My understanding is that the of a machine learning capacity to busy run flesh detection so it looks like it might be a nude image it flights it could be elicit it could not be able to sit but they can they can flag it and then notified the parent. It basically creates friction to the kid opening the image right. The piece that i think is number three. Is the hash detection. Piece and in that is a separate tool from the other tools so the hash detection tool is not going to detect a photograph of your kids taking a bath right. It's not going to detect any picture that you talk or received like you send a picture to the grandparents of you know you. This is no child exploitation. Images there's a fingerprint tickets created of every one of those known exploitation photographs illegal actually illegal to have on your device illegal konta so there's a fingerprint of that so whereas other companies are going through every photograph you have in your cloud. What apple's doing is the content that you have on your phone. It checks it against a hash and if it matches and that only happens when that photo moves from your phone to the cloud so only when you're moving it to the cloud. Does that detection take place if you're not moving into the cloud in it's just on your phone. There's no detection is so photos that you just have on your phone or not even being looked at when you move it to the cloud that is when the hash match takes place so at this point apple saying thirty pieces of content right. Why thirty why not one. They're they're trying at the outset to ensure a high threshold so that they don't have false positives as they have said publicly as they turn on the system. Fine tune it they imagine that they'll reduce that threshold. And and you reach a certain threshold of content that you you have a collection of these illegal images then it's triggered and it could be opened up and even then it's not reported to the authorities. It's human reviewed at apple then if it is confirmed by human review it sent to the national center for mistakes plated. Children confirmed by the national center for ms footed children. At which point in time there's a report to authorities so the number of triggers that have to be moved through in order for anybody's content to be looked at is is so you're saying there's so many levels here yes if someone does not choose to back up their iphoto to the cloud turned off. Yeah and i think just one important point to your to your point ashen as apple. They have in their terms of service. When you use iphoto cloud that you cannot host transmit illegal material. They have the right to look at it and remove it. We have the right to look at it and take action if you do. Yeah okay yeah. I see what you're saying. It takes a lot more steps than people realize and so the holy moly there in my phone kind of thing is over. Worry is what you're saying. I think so One thing i will say on. That is that. I welcome the debate and i welcome the pressure testing because only are we going to find the right solution that balances the right way is if we have a pretty robust discussion around you know what are the risks on both sides and how do we create the solution all right so one of the risks one. There was an open. The washington post seen it by computer scientists. Jonathan mayer explain how. His research project worked the exact same problem couple years ago but the system was too dangerous to build quote. We encountered a glaring problem. Our system could easily be repurpose for surveillance and censorship. That design wasn't restricted to a specific category of content of service could simply swap in any content matching database. And the person using that service would be none the foreign government could for example compel the service to out. People sharing disfavored political speech. Is that something people should worry about. I think that there's two pieces to this Is this the gold standard solution. I don't know what i do. Know is that i've never been involved with the tech company that its first product was its final product. Companies iterating on product consistently But also there's all the slippery slopes right. If apple is being pressured by authoritarian regime to review a separate hash set using this methodology. You would have to have that authoritarian regime and apple and the whatever. The final reviewing entity is all in cahoots with one. Another around. Whatever it is that they are going to detect. They have their service in china. They have their encryption keys. In china already by force and i look at it and i go well. If their servers are already in china and it's a walled garden it's not connected to the rest of the apple service the already have the encryption keys in china in. That's in collaboration. With the chinese government but yet they haven't used the encryption keys to service the chinese government they haven't broken into the existing users phones yet yet. I think you just said the word i did. Say the word. But here's the thing they've been able to do this this entire time. I think it's the functionality of a lot more people to be able to do it not just china. China's able to coerce people to do this other countries haven't been and so. I think that's the worry at this point with a lot of these privacy advocates. It is it's a step further. And say i'm going to go on your phone. It.

"So we're we're two years in A lot of the work that we did prior was really focused on building tools to identify victims of child trafficking One of the tools that we built we find about. What is it eight kids a day. We identify that are being trafficked And as we watch this problem grow over the last decade. I mean we're talking about true exponential growth in two thousand in nineteen. It was like seventy million files. Yeah well i'll give you some statistics. It's it's really. it's donna. Shing explosion of activity in this area. The national center for missing and exploited children revealed that it's cyber tip line had twenty one point seven million incidents of c. sam in twenty twenty That's an increase of twenty eight percent from two thousand nineteen much. You'll didn't come from porn sites but from facebook facebook accounted for about ninety five percent reports across all platforms. Was that a surprise to you. Know because i think that's actually a really big distinction. This is the documentation of a crime. The sexual assault and rape of children. I'm it isn't consumed in the way that pornography is consumed it's consumed in a very illicit under the radar transmission of these files. And everywhere that there is an upload button it exists We know that. I mean every single company. I've ever talked to every company that uses our software. wherever starts proactively detecting finds it. You talked about twenty one million reports to the national center for missing spoiled children. Each report has multiple files. So it's about seventy million files last year about half images. Now have video and the bulk of that is transmitted on facebook messenger right now whether there's other places that have more we don't know because most companies are not detecting at scale so the just want to clarify a semi on that point is the the bulk of what's being detected is on facebook messenger. Not the bulk of where the transactions are necessarily taking places the bulk of what's being detected because people like to knock facebook for a lot of things but the one thing that they have been amazing at is identifying reporting this kind of content focused on it versus don't because they focused in cared. Can we describe what that is what that young ten is sure. Yeah most of the children who are recovered from these images and videos are younger than twelve years old. A lot of them are what we refer to as pre-verbal meaning they can't talk very young children whose abuse and assault and rape is documented on images and videos and then that is put out online and it goes viral amongst these illicit communities and even after that child is recovered their hundreds if not thousands of files documenting their abuse out there and so when they show up in a classroom and they walked down the street. They wonder know. Did this person see. See my abuse and in the last ten years one thing we've seen growing is that children are being coerced online to generate self produced material as well so some people kids are sending naked salty's in it's between them and someone consenting but others are being groomed online We're not talking about babies. In bathtubs we're talking about violent assaults on children that other people take pleasure in that revictimizes them for the rest of their lives. And it lives on and multiplies as it spreads across these platforms. So when you're thinking about dealing with this which is horrific. How'd you look at your technology partners. Because they can be both helpers and facilitators of these terrible people so ashton you work with facebook early on two thousand twelve as part of the hashing system that you were exploring with google to how do you balance that in these partnerships and are they still ongoing. It's an incredibly managed relationship So listen whenever you create a tool that has extraordinary capabilities. It can be used nefarious. And i would say most of the companies that we work with realize this is a problem. What are walking a tightrope between privacy and morality in so these relationships are extremely managed because the bottom line is who can help the most on this issue. Google facebook apple amazon. These are the companies that can be the most helpful on these issues. Who can hurt the most on these issues. Google facebook apple microsoft amazon like so so they hold the ability to have the most impact on both sides of two human rights debates. I agree with you. I think in this issue. They tend to jump quickly but they know they're they're on not very solid ground when it comes to child exploitation. They sort of hammond hall over lots of other issues with their antibiotics or hate speech etc etc. In this case they tend to jump rather quickly. How do you assess their performance on this thing so for me. It's always a function of whatever you're doing now. Can you do better. I can look at the two sides of the equation indigo okay. You're a company like facebook today and you're being hammered on privacy issues hammered on what you need to moderate what you need to edit what you need to shut down and then facebook goes you know the easiest thing to do right now is just go. End to end. Encryption on messenger because then we can't detect and if we can't detect nobody can demand that we shot anything down right but then they're faced with the quandary which is like if we do that. And we say that we can't detect which we can and they build an architecture that doesn't allow them to detect. then they don't have to listen to anybody they don't have to take the heat from anyone one hundred percent. I mean i think the question is that if they solve the problem it opens them up to criticism that why can't they sell them other problems and this drives the said slippery slope argument right. Everybody wants to talk about the slippery slope of ifs buts maybes but the other slippery slope is an absolute that we know about and that slippery slope is these kids and the evidence of their rape being syndicated online. Well let's get into these reason. Apple announced got a lot of attention. Apple new software tools. Prac- child safety. They've made a few changes. Most controversial one allows apple to scan users devices to search for child. Sexual abuse material apple isn't looking at the images directly but they're scanning for digital fingerprints called hashes well their companies like facebook. Google microsoft also scanned photos. They look at it only on the cloud. Not on your physical device. The way apple is gearing up to do juliet. You said you think that apple's tech balances quote the need for privacy with digital safety for children. Tell me why you said that. And how you think about that. Yeah so i mean. I think balancing the need for privacy and the need to do this work is really hard and i think apple took a first stop and one that they've resisted because they resisted it many years ago for anybody to get within these phones. I don't know if this is the ultimate solution that is going to get to a place where we're detecting child sexual abuse material at scale in a encrypted environment and a pri- privacy ford environment but it is the first solution that is out there and it tells me that this company's is willing to wait in to a really nuanced difficult issue and we believe we can do this action. You tweeted that you believe in privacy and there's a ton of misinformation. What.

"That it hopes will help in the crusade against child sexual abuse material for c. Sam as it's called the intention is obviously good but one of those updates has proved controversial allows apple to effectively scan images on users devices and compare them to a database of known child sexual abuse. This has sparked worries about user privacy. And it hasn't been good look for apple a company. That's usually ahead of the curb and has made privacy central to its marketing. Now it's not like tim. Coke is peaking into every photo on your phone. Instead the software reduces images to kind of digital fingerprint call the hash and only flags things to review if there are numerous concerning images nonetheless. Apple's move has sparked a debate between ending child exploitation. Which i think we can. All agree is worth doing and protecting privacy. Which is the trade off here. So i wanted to talk to people at one end of the debate. The leaders of the nonprofit thorn which is laser focused on ending child exploitation online. Julie cordola is the group. Ceo and ashton kutcher co thornton with his. Then wife demi moore julian ashton. Welcome to sway. Thank you thank you for happiness. That's quite an intro. Where you put us on the end of a debate. And i would say that we're actually very much in the middle of a debate. Okay explain that. Have other questions. But please begin ashton what i really do see ourselves very much in the middle of the debate given the fact that we're extremely privacy forward individuals. We're certainly not these people that are going well. I'm not doing anything wrong. So you can just look at whatever you want to look at like. We're not in that camp by any stretch of the imagination. All right coming in hot. But i'd love to do. I is for people to understand what thorn is actually because not. Everybody is familiar with it so ashton. There's a lot of people like yourself. Taking on causes whether it's bill gates and climate change or mark zuckerberg and education talk about the origin story. And then julia. I want to understand how you got involved sure I was one of these celebrities. That always wanted to find a way that i could use the platform that i built to good in the world and i saw what paul newman had done. I saw what bono was doing around aids in red. And i thought wouldn't it be great if there was one thing that i could really focus my energy on and i was watching a dateline special with my ex wife on kids in cambodia. That were being trafficked. We're talking about like six and seven year old little girls that were being raped by grown men so that somebody else could make money. I find it so ab- horn that. I started diving in to find out how it was happening. Why it was happening. We pushed for awhile to try to do awareness. Campaigns spent about five years learning about all the variable organizations that were working in the space. My been doing a lot of early stage. Investing in technology companies. That's where i met you. Active investor and lots of things like uber and many others. And so i knew a lot of folks in the valley and we put together a coalition of folks. That could start looking at the problem and thinking about ways to make the business of raping children a very very bad business economically and a very difficult business to operate technically and so from there we decided that the organization was going to be an organization that built software to defend these kids. So julie tell me how you gotta this. Yeah so i started my career in wireless technology. Actually last time we ever communicated probably was when. I sent you an email pitch announcing the motorola razor phone. And you're working with walt mossberg wall street journal and i want these tire excited about that. And i did. But i was in wireless technology and then to individuals bobby shriver and bano called me one day and said that they were trying to create this brand called. Read where they would partner with. Big companies and those companies would make bread products and they'd give fifty percent of the prophets to fund aids medicine in the developing world. And i spent five years helping build the red brand. We did a lot of good. But after about five years. I two kids and i was finding new york every two weeks with babies on my hips and on my lap to go do this work and i thought i wanna i wanna do something closer to home and a friend introduce me to ashton and to me and i saw in that first meeting something that was similar to what i'd seen when i met bono and bobby shriver early on was someone who had a very clear and a lot of the connections and power and influence. That could make something big happen and had already tapped into understanding that there was an issue that was growing and there was a new way of addressing it that really needed focus and so i jumped in with them to create this. How much funding has thorn raised to date. And how does it get funded salt. Donations five thousand plus donors. Don't have the number off south my head of exactly how much money we breeze today to might so we were a couple of million dollar a year organization until about a couple of years ago and then we put forth a proposal to the ted audacious prize. This was a tranche of a two hundred eighty million dollars that went to a number of people and we got a chunk of that. What's the chunk. yes it's about. Sixty million dollars spread over five years so we pulled out about fifteen million right now and that'll taper off it with the goal of us being able to balance out our portfolio so that by the end of those five years we're generating revenue and delivering impact. Okay and i wonder if you thought about getting money from tech companies because these are some of the places where these things happen. We did receive grants from tech companies. And we always made it really clear like you can fund this. But you don't have control over. How is it or our policy positions as we grew and we started putting more pressure on companies to do the right thing. We actually stopped taking grants from tech companies and so now the only way that we are funded from companies is if they're using our software to actually detect report and remove child sexual abuse material right unless their philanthropic organizations like the skull foundation or some others right yeah so foundation wise independent donors and things. Yes we have a variety of donors. You don't want to be funded by people that have leverage over the work that you do but that'd be instead of a fair amount of the donation that actually comes into the organization comes from people that have created their wealth from tech. And i think that people in tech where the first people to understand what we were doing certainly ten years ago. It was much harder for people to imagine how building software could have a drastic impact on outcomes in this space. So let's talk about this space. Launch launched in two thousand twelve. You said your goal was to scrub child. Sexual abuse material or see sam from the internet in the next decade. How do you feel about that now. We we set the goal to eliminate child sexual abuse material from the internet. When we did the ted audacious. I mean that that was in two thousand nineteen right.

What lobbying efforts have been made in the past so there was an effort to do some education around twenty fourteen and that was mostly focused on bitcoin in fact bitcoin enthusiast setup a bitcoin foundation that was sort of their leading public policy advocates The problem there was as they were trying to persuade lawmakers and regulators that there was more to bitcoin than just what they'd heard about silk road and illicit financing human trafficking all the bad stuff associated with crypto currency.

"Media. Hot mess so i talked to have tech investor actor ashton kutcher theus thoughts on social networks. Five g. more af- always interview. I taped with them while at eighteen five g. event in new york. Some of his answers may surprise you. Roger jiang this is your daily charge action so today's that was all about five g. documents on the applications. I know you've been telling us for a long time. Fifteen years of the legend of stage. One about five exciting Number one just just the pure play them with And i think there's three three fox's right like bam with speed and low latency and the thing that gets really exciting to me is in investor number one low latency so when i think about like autonomous driving solutions which i've been somewhat hesitant about investing in just because like you know l five is gonna get here gonna get here. We've we've kind of taken a pseudo sort of broad ecosystem approach to it but also you know looking at tesla and just being like the number of cars that they have on the road in the matter reps that they're getting it's going to be pretty hard to catch up We one of us can be called helm dot a. Which i think he'd catch up really really quick dumb just based on their approach but the beautiful thing about it is like the veto solutions where you can have cars talking to other cars. You can have smart city solutions that basically enhancing actually make l. five possible And i think that lives on the backbone of five g. rightly without that. You really can't get the number of sensors in that dense of an area to to truly enable you know intelligent. Stop lights intelligent corridor communications And so that is one thing that i think is probably the most exciting aspect of it and then just fundamental low latency like you. If you don't have that low latency you're still gonna have an issue so five g. enables set then beyond that i think like just virtual communication is just going to get a lot better and there are certain fields in certain areas and spaces where you need virtual communications to be really great right. I was. I was looking at something i think. Five or six years ago. A friend Who who runs an rnd lab And he was showing me. What military grade Videoconferencing looks like relative to everyday human grade video cop cars. Zoom zoom calls.

So actor ashton kutcher purchased a seat on virgin galactic private spaceship nearly a decade ago. And you know that that that's about to happen soon here. But now he's giving his ticket up cour recently revealed in an interview that he had a seat on richard branson's next flight but he realized going to space shouldn't be a priority over family. Could your who's married to actress. Mila kunis said that his wife made him realize that heading into space when they have. Young children is not really a smart family decision so he decided to sell his ticket back to Virgin galactic If you were in ashton kutcher shoes new bought a ticket when you were young and single and had no attachments and then ten years later the flight it's time for it to come to fruition and now you're married with kids. Do you think that you would do the same thing. Swipe left or swipe right. Swipe right i think meal kunas is right. I don't trust these spaceflights idea. There's not enough. I mean by the way. He's getting on richard branson's virgin who runs virgin. They had their very first one and it went without an incident. But if i'm married and have two little kids. I'm not getting on that thing. I think meal is probably right. What do you think ramona dangerous. I think well like. I'm in the similar situation with with daniel and it was. I remember my thought process last year when they said you wanna go to the bubble or do you wanna travel during the year and i was like you know as no my answer is no like it's you know it would it be professionally good and important yet. Yeah good but it would. It also be like a little dangerous and a lot of time away from my two year old. Who really needs me and sometimes just of have to not think of yourself. Just yeah. I think you have to prioritize your kid but way to add better lindsay. She paid for the seat initially at some insane amount of money. Let's ten million dollars something like that to me. It's not worth the by the way you don't even really get into you get closer to days but you're only like twenty thousand feet higher than regular planes. So that's why. I was gonna say my point would be like by counterpoint. To you guys would be that like. It's really necessarily like dangerous. Because they're not it's not like he's an astronaut and he's going to walk on the moon they're literally flying really far like just outside of earth's atmosphere and you could see the earth spinning below you to some degree. Is it really that dangerous to wear like you should worry about that. That'd be like saying you know. I don't want to fly on a cross country flight or something like that one. Well how how many times of this thing flounder that love. How many tests flights have they done like. Maybe they did for them to do it and then also to have all these celebrities be paying that much money. They have to think it safe right. Yeah i mean mason would do it. He's into this type. I would pass well for what it's worth ashton kutcher said mark my word. I will be going to space eventually. So maybe when his kids are older there you go okay. What's next all right. You may remember a couple of months ago. When i told you that mark wahlberg was packing on the pounds to prepare for his latest film role. He's going to be playing a fighter in the movie called. Stu don't like all the details on that but Walberg was on the tonight. Show last night with jimmy fallon and he said that it's not been a fun process. He said quote. Unfortunately i head to consume for two weeks seven thousand calories and then for another two weeks eleven thousand calories. It's such a hard physical thing to do losing weight. You just kind of tough it out you just tony and you exercise n even then when you're full i would wake up after meal and have to have another meal. I was eating every three hours. It was not fun. Okay so i don't think that there's many of us that would do it. He did you know as far as gaining a tunnel and then losing it like in real time is the movie shoots I mean i. I certainly wouldn't but broadening this out. Would you guys ever take a multi million dollar job where you had to really dramatically. Change your appearance. Pro for a million. Do i have to get fatter toy after get skinny well. Let's say it's something like john you have to look reminding you have to shave your head or john like you know something like that were you would look completely different and yeah you still would have the ability to change it back. But you're gonna look weird or different for awhile. Magin for a million dollars. I would turn down anything. You're proposing with my head for a million. I would i. Would you gain twenty pounds million. I would lose twenty pounds for a million now if you get it. If you lower the price. I get less and less. Yeah treated by this as. Where's the number like how much money would would how load is go free to shave your head shaved my head just shave your head. What this stage. I'm towards the end of my career. I would do it for. Let's make ted grant. Did you do it for ten grand. No you gotta go higher. Fifty grand fifty. I think i'm in pay taxes on it. No all right. I mean that's a good question you. What about you ramona would you. Would you shave your head for fifty grand. No really higher gotta go higher. Yeah young one hundred one hundred saying interesting. Do it for five hundred bucks. No i do my number hundred alina. I do have a lot of wig. So i don't know i would. I probably do it for like ten grand. Yeah i think that actors especially method actors guys do stuff like this all the time so it doesn't surprise me. That wall breezy by the way warburg's getting more than a million dollars for doing this movie. Yeah it's amazing to there's a difference between doing something like shave your head again. Twenty pounds if i gain twenty pounds like i mean. I could do that next week into his point to gaining weight was one thing but he's having a hell of a time or you had a hell of a time getting back in shape to lose it. Exactly that's part is like the you know. I'll get give me a million dollars in twenty twenty pounds like it'll take maybe two three weeks. I mean. I think i could do that. Pretty easily about woman in her forties with that kind of metabolism. But can you. Can you imagine for two weeks eating eating ten thousand calories. Oh that sounds disgusting. I mean it's girls. But i mean i don't think we do. It wouldn't be hard for us. Yeah herman pizza tonight doesn't sound very fun. But i mean you could do it. But like taking off that twenty. That could take six months that yeah that would be like the end of me. That's like matthew mcconaughey said when he did the dallas buyers club movie and he had to lose a ton of weight and getting super super thin. He said he to this day like he doesn't think that his body has ever been able to recover to what it used to be because he said it's been so hard to put that weight back on and put it on healthily and the correct way with must muscle mass. Because he was like you know like shirtless magazine type guy. And then he says ever since then he's been like super self conscious about his body ever since he had to gain the weight back from that movie. Get one more. Is that it that. Is it for radio tinder today and coming up next. Ramona is on her way to phoenix for game five of the nba finals. Which will be played tomorrow night. We haven't talked about it yet.

Do the celebrities help the startups or do the startups help the celebrities?
"So this week. We saw that josh richards. Who is a tiktok star previously of the sway house which is one of the many tiktok mansions that have kind of popped up over los angeles as influence or homes. Josh richards is joining remiss capital and early stage venture firm as a venture partner. And as i'm sure we will get into not super nudist see celebrities get into venture space. They have huge reach. They can do a lot for especially consumer businesses with a simple instagram story. And so maybe the place to start with with the josh richards. Conversation is like really bullish on this transition. What would we say like what is good about this transition and then we can make the jokes because i know there will be jokes. But let's start with why this makes sense. Alex i okay. I have been critical in the past of celebrity investing. Because it's always struck me as little bit frivolous but i think that's because i underestimated the cultural impact of people of the moment and according to iverson will group text that i'm on with my friends. Talk is the thing. So if you are an enormous star in the tiktok world getting you involved with the company makes a lot of sense and my thought here is that i think in the old as we go to see more endorsements opposed to investments. You know you'd say like we're going to get you know josh richards or charlie delio or bryce. I'm reading the notes price hall to endorse your party to the long tail of knowledge for tiktok star. I see tiktok. But i don't know who the people are because i'm not cool at all but i think now with took being so popular and having so much cultural resonance with people that are out there using their dollars so in mark influence. It's probably reasonable that these people are going from being endorsers to be invested because once they have more money themselves and they have enough power deployed demand a seat at the table to get some ups. I did a piece of the pie. So i want to make jokes but i won't. I'll just say that in the past celebrity has had a mixed track record. But in this case. I think bringing attention via celebrity and tiktok makes sense. Okay danny leterrier pros and cons. And then i will finish this off. I think the big question is always do. The celebrities helped startup or the startups helped the celebrities. I think some celebrities have made a lot of money on their investments by think in many ways celebrities get access and in in many ways. I'm not sure they actually create the value for these companies. But because of the celebrity status they sort of get an allocation the otherwise it wouldn't have been able to get you know obviously if you're having a startup the targets gen z. Tiktok is the platform to go about do that. I just don't think it helps anyone else you know i. I just think about the company's like okay. Let's let's hope about sky flow. You know this is the polymorphic. Encryption data security company. Get josh richards to help. On what i'm kidding. Of course not so its seat and that's ultimately like you know. I think it's always about these brand plays. I'm in new york. We have a ton of successful brand plays because of the so like may richards endorses bro. And its next round and is like the the next to the guy in the commercials. I forget which the famous movie stars was on there. No one knows that this group. We're not that demographic. Danny this is where the show. We're just taking a right to the gutter. I think they're definitely serves. They can use this. I think it's fine to venture partner. Josh has been very entrepreneurial and getting a bunch of stuff out there. But what i've heard. The guy makes f ton of money saving our producers gave them work there but a ton of money doing all these sponsorship deals. I think it's fine. I just think we have to like not change coverage and we focused on in which companies make money based on which celebrities are attached to which companies like. It's always good to go back to the dollars and sense and so. I don't think it changes what we do here at techcrunch. I'm certainly not going to cover story. I actually been pitched stories. That are like gosh. Richards has invested in this company. I was like. I don't know who that is. Take this to not work in my experience talking to celebrities in and around technology events. More broadly i talked to a former doctor who about surface once that was a fiasco but i did. Enjoy my child with jared leto at a boxing event because one. I got to take a picture with him. I was topless now funny and to he actually had some pretty good he is about starts so i think there is the occasional investor who's also celebrity. Who can do some reasonable things. I'm curious to see how this bears out. Ashton kutcher is investments. Have been up and down. So we'll see. But i'm not going to be dismissive of the kids.

Startup Loom Booms on Rise of the Video Message
"Wars daily on this Thursday October twenty second. Here's a trend bits grown like crazy during the pandemic when you might not yet be aware of but watch out by this time next year I predict you will be it's called video messaging a number of services. Now offered the ability for anyone with a computer or smartphone to make a quick high quality video and send it immediately for free or cheap. One of the most basic reasons to try it. It's easier and faster to talk than it is to type according to. Founders at San Francisco Startup. Loom but loom is more than just a video version of text messaging for one it allows users to record their screens and their faces at the same time, which makes it an ideal tool for teaching and training remotely a math teacher for example, can speak directly to their students and visually illustrate that tricky geometry problem at the same time actor Ashton Kutcher. One of the APPS investors uses it to provide feedback on scripts. He told Forbes, you actually need the virtual object and the explanation at the same time in addition to conveying the real emotion. Clearly. It can be compelling to receive a video message instead of an email and that's not just anecdotal today. The company claims it has seven million users up from a couple of million pre pandemic in late May investors poured thirty million dollars into loom. Valued at three, hundred, fifty, million dollars that's double its value a year ago what's happening? Well, we're all working from home. Of course, even pre pandemic loom had conceived of its APP is appealing to remote workers but no one knew just how suddenly we'd all be communicating digitally all the time. Now loom even newer start a video card or working around the clock building out there young products to grab this new opportunity before it passes them by the first mover often wins market share and becomes the category leader at least for the foreseeable future. All of that rapid work means a lot of hiring loom is now one of the fastest growing startups around according to linked in late last month linked in named loom number nine on its list of. Top fifty startups. That's a list of privately held American companies filling bunches of jobs. The companies already ballooned from a handful of team members to almost one hundred today last week, Lumo unveiled what it's calling new loom video messaging is already attracting small businesses but loom in its rivals may not turn big profits from that market. After all, you can get their APPs with limited services for free where the big money may lie large companies the new loom includes. A custom plan for enterprises, it allows an unlimited number of users to create videos offers a virtual library for storing them. That way multiple creators can make say hundreds of different training videos that users can search loom believes many companies will want to replace time consuming synchronous webinars with short recorded videos especially, because many workers are now teaching their kids from home and they're at their jobs only after bedtime smaller businesses can get loom for about eight dollars per. User per month, the company hasn't published a price for enterprises as with any startup success isn't guaranteed for either company.

Marketing School
How We've Been using Community's SMS As Another Marketing Channel
"Welcome to another episode of Marketing School I'm Eric. Su and I'm tall and today we're going to be talking about how we've been using community. That's community DOT COM were you've been using their SMS features as another marketing channel. So Neil, do you WANNA kick it off by explaining what community DOT COM is and I'll talk about what we've been doing. Sure. So if you listen to our podcast for awhile, you'll notice that the end of some episodes or even at the beginning of some episodes will tell you hey, Texas, and we'll give out a number of what's number. Is Three One oh, three, four, nine, three, seven, eight, five. and. I recommend that you Texas at this number. So you can get a feel of how it is but community is application that allows you to have text based communication with people thinking about how you do email messaging. You can do Massimo messaging you can personalize emails think of all those feeds looped in together in a from called community helps you personalize things and helps you automate things as well and that have your own phone number versus people texting like a short coder like that. So it makes it more personal than let's say someone doing a vote for American idol. Yep We've been using community for maybe let's call it a month or month and a half, and it's been great because we have a small group of people about two, hundred, fifty people and the list continues to get bigger. But when we're about to record, let's were recording today it's a it's a Friday what will do is we will text a group saying, Hey, what are your biggest marketing struggles right now or what are your biggest business challenges and a bunch of topics will flow through and I've actually dropped a couple of topics in here and so that actually makes our lives a lot easier. So a great for that plus people are actually seeing their topics live. As well, but the other thing we're doing to is were announcing when we're doing things because if we're trying to create a community telling people that, hey, we're going to be doing this live right now you guys can join us or let's say a meal both in La we say, Hey, you know we're going to be doing the meet up. You know it's going to be on us. There'd be doing the happy hour and everyone can join on. That's in the area that's core because it it fosters that impersonal communication. So there's a lot of different ways to use community but just think. Of It. This way your open rates when it comes to text messaging, I opened probably nine percent of texts that are sent to me. Your open rates are a lot higher and the the click rate has while I'm looking at our stats. You know when we send a link, it's like forty to fifty percent clicks rate. So the engagement is very high right now and usually when a when there's a hot new channel, this engagement rates are really high and I think more and more people are going to use it. I just don't get regulator not because I was talking to a body. It'll probably get regulators is the question of what I've already seen things circling around about regulations happening with SMS Yarka and I believe it because businesses aren't using like crazy right now but that will definitely change within a few years and then you're GonNa see all these rules and regulations of privacy concerns. It's like telemarketing. It's still hard core. Now, they still haven't managed to crack the code on that but for the time being there's a lot of different apps you can use out there community dot com one that that we use I believe they're investors are like Ashton Kutcher diddy in in in these people did tell you about the spam starting to get now on my iphone? No. There's facetime, right? Yeah. And the sad part is my email and phone number out there all over the web right 'cause like on social profile for so many years the amount of calls they get a days ridiculous on average publica. Forty fifty calls on any given day literally forty fifty calls from people I don't know and this is non like telemarketers is like people because it's in your signature everywhere right? Signature as well. That was like a million emails. Email, million people like you're GONNA get messages. But now, I'm starting to get facetime spam and you can see people just trying to face him in and like sometimes you can see like the email address has the name of based have instead of like a phone number, some really dating sites and I'm like I don't even know why just ignore it because I'm like I'm married I, have a wife I'm happy and like I know people are just trying to spam and scammy for money or whatever it may be but there's behavior here. For everyone just wants to make money. Yes. short-term thinking. But anyway guys, we think it's great for right now I think just use it in by the way the what the one thing I'll say about how we use to his were pretty non spammy. We send maybe one message awake and that's it. So we don't to send multiple messages. We just say, Hey, we're doing this and we'll say reply if you actually want the link and then we just check a bunch of.

The Breakdown with Shaun King
Why I took my Instagram & Twitter accounts private
"Before the pandemic I would I would always crack up because I could be on the train you know now. During. A pandemic it's is horrible here in New York I I don't take the train. I. Hardly go outside and when I do I, have a mask on. So people people rarely recognize me although I have been out even with a mask and a hat and people will come up which is always weird during the pandemic say are you Shaun. King. But before the pandemic could be on the train any day and I would take the train every single day and People would come up to me and they wouldn't say are you Shaun King they wouldn't say. Are you are you that are you that writer? Are you that activists organizer? Deer run the you know real justice. Grassroots. Law. They say. Are you the guy from instagram. And I would always be so surprised because. When I wake up in the morning. That's not how I see myself. I don't see myself as a damn social media celebrity. A social media as a tool and I always have like if you go all the way back to facebook and AOL even I've been using mass emails literally for over. Twenty years. You know I was I was on facebook when I was a student. I was Saban on facebook even even that is getting for over fifteen years. I've I've been on one of the first million people on twitter when it was just a a group of nerds and Ashton Kutcher and Larry King And So I've been using social media for a long time in is funny when people ask me. Are you that guy from instagram because I'm actually super late to instagram. I may have opened up an account early but I I really didn't use it like I use it now. Until way after. When I wished I really did And And so I'm always surprised by it, but it's a it's a platform that I use in an for years. I would even when I was a I was the senior justice writer at the new. York Daily News I was riding sometimes two and three articles a day every single day. And people who are all over New York would come up to me and say, Hey, sean, our each articles they will say something that really surprised me. They will say. Hey Sean I get all of my news from you. From your instagram page I'm like. Oh, my hold on. I'm the senior justice writer. At one of the local newspapers and busting my butt every single day and everywhere I would go people with a everything I learned about injustice I learned from you. On, your instagram. And and eventually, instead of being frustrated by it, I leaned into it and say, wow, this is a place that I. This is a tool that I need to us to be able to inform people in and and inspire them and point them in a in a certain direction. and. The more I use the tool. To organize, people to inform. To rally, US around causes rallies around campaigns justice change. The more I did that. The more the hate grew. The death threats grew. The spam grew and I brought in and outside secure what I have security I'm I'm recording this now from podcast studio in our house because our offices are closed. We. Have Security here at the house and we also have a cyber security firm and because so many of the death threats that we get come from online. And what we found was that. It appears multiple corporations. Are Funding. It looks like multiple different initiatives. To not only spread misinformation. And lies and spam on my page, but to flood everything that I do. With lies about who I am lies about the work that I do lies about my family Sometimes it's blatant misinformation about my perspectives or views. and. It wasn't by the the dozens or hundreds by the thousands on some days over ten thousand comments of blatant misinformation. I'm not talking about people with. Not Talking about real people with real critiques. But accounts that were created to flood everything that I do with blatant misinformation.
