"Hey Doc, welcome back. I hope you're doing good. I am. I am with you on the casting call there. Well, actually, you know, Rock Hill was just famously beautiful and not a bad actress actually, so you'd think, hey, go with vaux, but Marianne was perfect for Marianne, wasn't she? Maybe Ginger, I think. That could have worked maybe we could have had Rock Hill just make an occasional visit to the show. They always had people visiting the island, but we digress. We do digress. I think we should move on to something medical now. Well, I got to tell you just a real quick thing, you know, I shared with you not, but last week I guess it was, how COVID hit members of my family, and it's even more of them have contracted COVID. Once again, independently of each other, independent of each other. I don't know what's going on out there. Doctor, it seems like I continue to find people who are getting a second round of or getting caught up in a second wave of COVID-19. No question. It's estimated there's at least a 100,000 new infections a day. In the United States. 100,000. And we're still losing about 400 people a day who are dying. So anybody who thinks that virus is totally done with us, it's not. Now, we're all living our lives and that's great. But we have to be realistic that the virus is still there and people are still getting infected. Is your is your experience shows? Jen, how's your mom doing by the way? Yes, she was on Remdesivir for about three or four days at a hospital. They kept her there and now she's back in her senior living facility and it's down the cafeteria with everybody else. She's past the contagious point, et cetera. Lord knows they're extremely cautious about it there, but she's doing okay. Yeah, that's great. And as we talked about last week, she's a great example of the benefit of being fully vaccinated, particularly when you're older. You know, that all of the experience knows showing that older people in particular benefit greatly compared to people who are not who are not vaccinated of the same age. And I don't care what Woody Harrelson and some of these other people have to say. We just know that from experience now. That's a fact, it's not there's no opinion anymore. If you're older, please be fully vaccinated. Woody Harrelson's monologue was so 2020 anyway, it wasn't that germane. I don't think it was that funny. And of course it was outrageous, which maybe he wants to be, but it was dumb. It was inaccurate. You know, I mean, the inference that, hey, this is the government pushing a drug on people so that the government or the pharmacy pharmacological companies will continue to make money, that was the thrust of it and there was a piece of CNN talking about how much a disservice some celebrities have done to our general health, and they pointed to people like Aaron Rodgers, Novak Djokovic, Eric Clapton Rand Paul Tucker Carlson, et cetera, they said those tweets generated a total of 16.3 million likes and who knows how much damage they did. Yeah, I just wish people would use their fame for good things and that's not using your fame for good things. And I know they can't help themselves. Woody Harrelson is a very smart sophisticated guy. I read that after his monologue, he was trending on Twitter. And I think that's really what he wanted. Any publicity is better than no publicity and that's what he wanted to do. He knew that he would he would be trending on Twitter. If he said that. And it's what it was silly, the call Pfizer and Moderna a drug cartel, which he did. It's just not right. Pfizer and Moderna are jointly responsible for saving tens of millions of lives around the world. So let's merge them for what they did. And we lived through a time of a biomedical miracle, as I said, was lifesaving. Hey, John Williams, hey, doctor, thank you for the show. I'm a 71 year old male. Is it okay to get a singles shot and a booster close to the same time I'm healthy, thank you very much. I did that. Not that I'm a 71 year old male, but I got them. Well, did I get them at the same time? Anyway, I got them both. Boy, that shingle shot knocked the shingles out of me too, doctor. That's what I was going to say. The shingle shed absolutely connect the shingles out of people. So I wouldn't get the two at the same time. Because you're probably not going to feel great from the shingles shot. I suspect you'll is a 71 year old healthy guy. You'll tell a rate to booster for COVID just fine. So please get that. You're 71 and after you're feeling okay after you've gotten the booster for COVID, go ahead and get the shingle shot. That really is a good idea. Are you interested in the energy department saying that COVID-19 most likely emerged from a lab leak, they're still trying to figure out how COVID got into the world. What's your thought about all that? Yeah, Jen, you and I, we've chatted about this before in the past and how difficult it is to definitively say what the origin of COVID-19 is, a lot of that is because the Chinese just clamped down on any dissemination of information from Wuhan right after the discovered the virus. So remember when the World Health Organization shortly after the beginning of the pandemic sent a group to investigate, they were kept in the group was kept in quarantine for two weeks and they weren't given any of the information that they wanted. That's a problem. And the Chinese still have not released the information that the world needs to know what's really going on. So this report from the Department of Energy that originates actually from the Lawrence Livermore national laboratory. Why energy department? I think this is important for our listeners to know the energy department

"Kozel, thanks for being with us. New at the movies this weekend champion starring Woody Harrelson about a former minor league basketball court coach ordered by a court to manage a team of players with intellectual disabilities. It's impossible to coach these guys. You don't have to turn them into the Lakers. They just need to feel like a team. Film critic, Christian toto tells our Dmitri sodas champions has a lot of heart. It is uplifting. It is funny at times, and it doesn't make fun of these characters. In fact, they're seen steelers. You know, the cast here, I haven't seen them before. I don't know how many films they've had previously, but boy, when they have a punchline when they've got a funny bit to kind of go through, they just nail it. So and of course you got Woody Harrelson as the coach who's troubled and trying to rediscover his life and his career. It's a very formulaic movie. There are not many surprises here. But I think that's okay because when the formula is done well and it's uplifting and funny and you want to rah rah rah at the end, it's exactly what you demand from this kind of movie. Harrelson is excellent as always. I think it's one of our better actors and it's kind of a bit underappreciated at times, but I think the entire package here is what works so well. I think they could have gone a little deeper into the romance angle Caitlin Olson plays his love interest and she's from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I think that's good, but not as good as it could have been. And I even think they could have softened the edges of harrelson's character where he should have been a little bit more grumpy a little bit more of a crusty soul, but those are quibbles. This is really sweet storytelling, and I had a great time watching champions. Some people may have lost track of all the scream movies that of course began with such a big splash back in the 90s. I believe we're up to number 6 here. I should quickly add that in addition to some scares perhaps the original film made a lot of commentary about culture and stuff. It was a very meta as we like to say, are they keeping that going as well? They sure are and I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of franchise for the reasons you say because I think a lot of that commentary that insider speak is played out. We've kind of heard all the references in the nuances. I don't think the horror has changed so dramatically that we need more scream films. But if we're going to get them, why not scream 6? This one is fun. It's diverting as quickly pace has a very attractive young cast, not just namespaces that you don't mind if they can't take it out by ghostface, but they're very compelling. So I think this film has a lot of the flaws of the previous films, the reveals aren't that convincing. There's lots and lots of plot holes, but I think it's packaged very well together. So I think if you're a fan of the franchise, you'll have a blast. There is some new commentary. You know, it doesn't really comprise much of the movie. But overall, for a 6th installment, I didn't love the last scream. I kind of like this one. That's Christian toto of Hollywood in toto dot com on Skype.

In episodes 5 67 and 5 68 are our top ten shows of 2015. Michael Phillips had creed as his number 8 film and there's one more speaking of Jonathan majors, who we spoke of a lot during our review of creed three. If you go back to episode 7 33, you can hear my conversation with Jo Talbot and Jimmy fails, Jimmy fails, the star and co writer, I believe, along with Joe Talbot, the co writer and director, I think, of the golden brick winning the last black man in San Francisco. I interviewed them on that episode 7 33 and I know I had a specific question, Josh. About Jonathan majors, this guy bursting onto the scene. We've never heard of or seen before. He shows up on screen, blows us away, and I remember asking Jimmy and Joe about majors as an actor, what makes him so good and some of the choices he makes on screen. And I know they provided some real insight. So if you're a major fan, you may want to go back and seek out that show. Did you ask them if you could cast Jonathan majors as an MCU figure who would it be? I did not do that though. Hindsight's 2020. Film spotting family dot com.

I figured there would be a lot of Woody Harrelson. There's a lot more dark combination. Yeah. So it started out much different than I thought.

"Mechanic, a mechanical excruciatingly flat mechanical try hard, reviewers at his book is so stiff, stiff, it reads like a politician's memoir turned out by a chat GPT. The book is courageously free of anything that resembles charisma or discernible sense of humor. Desantis can rail all he wants about wokeness, but it can't distract from quote the dull coldness of the book's core, even the title is an awkward fainted boldness while clinging to the safety of cliche. I mean, we just, I don't know, whatever the latest poll is, Trump beats him among Republicans by 30 points. I love it 2 billion points. I mean, it just, don't you feel like we're having a flashback?

This reviewer, they're saying what we've been saying, desantis quickly mastered the negative side of maga politics, but he decidedly lacks people skills, political wrote, desantis simply lacks charm.

Can't you make money selling vitamin D? Because at that, what's the worst that could happen? There was only one thing, you know, Ivermectin got made into a horse tranquilizer horse, whatever it is. Which it is, but also used by humans. Hydroxychloroquine got made ridiculous. And there was only one thing that could work and that's the vaccine, right? And so ultimately, because of that. Billions of dollars was made. The last people I would trust with my health is big pharma and big government because neither one of those strike me as caring entities. And that is, that is exactly what happened. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. It also just, it was so illuminating to me. How strong how well funded how organized? The pharmaceutical cartel state that we live in. How effective their PR operation is to counter. This happened on a Saturday evening. And by lunch on Sunday, there was a massive articles countering, smearing and slandering woody. One after the other, after the other, after the other. And I do want to just mention a little bit about woody's past because I do find it very interesting. And then we are going to get to the Katie Hobbs story. And then we're going to get to the fetterman story. There's a lot of news and potential news over the last weekend. So let me just go to cut 8. This is what he's family. He's just interesting. Play cut 8. When you were 7 years old, your father went off to prison, convicted of murder. Well, he is in prison right now for the killing of a federal judge I think that it was not a fair trial. Especially because the guy who supposedly hired my father to commit the murder was later acquitted on a retrial. What he do you think your father is innocent of that second murder? That's what I've heard. I'm not saying my father's the same, but I think he's innocent of that. And did Woody Harrelson's father work for the CIA? Does woody know something about how our government works? Probably play cut 9. You said once that you thought that your father was a CIA operative. Yes? He was. How do you know? What proof? I shouldn't get into this right now. This is where we're going to get into trouble. But this is something that you feel and that you're trying to work on? I know, it's true, but does it make a difference? That he was trained by the CIA? Yeah, I think it makes a difference. Yeah. Just interesting. We're getting a lot of emails about the Katie Hobbs story. Let me just briefly mention this and then we'll talk about it. We're getting hundreds of not thousands of emails on the Katie hubs. Okay. So over the weekend, they were allegations that began to surface and be made against Katie Hobbs potentially and allegedly laundering cartel money and the entire racketeering scheme allegations. Let me just say yes, we've seen all the stuff that you have. And we're looking into it. And apparently the allegation is that she took money to also bribe judges. Now, this is some pretty serious stuff. Now, we're taking it very seriously, but to be clear, these are massive allegations brought against basically the entire state of Arizona and their public officials. And so we need a lot of time to look into this and we definitely are and some people aren't even mentioning it, but I have a duty and obligation to you to let you know because this is a huge allegation. Massive, if true, as they say, and if being the most important in operative word. But as Wendy Rogers said in her statement, the allegations were not made in the appropriate venue for a criminal investigation to take place. So for right now they are allegations. And a lot of people get allegations of things they didn't do. I certainly don't. But I believe every Democrat establishment Republican should be profiled..

"We're going to play the entire tape, which is cut ten. It's a minute long of Woody Harrelson, saying a lot of things that are true. An SNL and the response from the media has just been overwhelming. He said something relatively benign, nothing that was that aggressive or that controversial, so actually we're going to go to cut 7, this is Woody Harrelson hosting SNL on big pharma's response to COVID-19 play cut 7. Okay, so the movie goes like this. The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world stay locked in their homes and people can only come out if they take the cartels drugs and keep taking them over and over. I threw the script away. I mean, who is going to believe that crazy idea? Now did he go off script?

Woody Harrelson Cracks SNL Jokes at Big Pharma's Expense
"We're going to play the entire tape, which is cut ten. It's a minute long of Woody Harrelson, saying a lot of things that are true. An SNL and the response from the media has just been overwhelming. He said something relatively benign, nothing that was that aggressive or that controversial, so actually we're going to go to cut 7, this is Woody Harrelson hosting SNL on big pharma's response to COVID-19 play cut 7. Okay, so the movie goes like this. The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world stay locked in their homes and people can only come out if they take the cartels drugs and keep taking them over and over. I threw the script away. I mean, who is going to believe that crazy idea? Now did he go off script?

"In some ways, being a preacher, missionary or leading a Bible study group, is easier because things are black and white. You know if you're doing it right or not, out in the world very often there's a lot of gray. But here's what's important to know, it is hard to get Christians to see that God is willing to greatly use men and women in medicine and law in business and the arts, this is the great shortfall today. Now, when he comes so in other words, the importance and the greatness and the dignity of all work is enormous. But number two, boy two, and three, they're going to come closer together here now. Is there something wrong with work? Having said all that, there's something wrong with work. We find work exhausting. We find work frustrating. We find work difficult. Why? And to answer that question, we can actually, again, look at our text in which we see something fascinating. And that is in the new heavens and new earth. Everyone's bringing the fruits of their work, but it's interesting all nations are doing it. I say, even though we don't know much about these names, but when the young camels of midi in an FI and sheba and kadar in navigate, this is all the tarshish. These are all the nations of the world. And you know what this is? This is a reversal, again, I said everything in Isaiah 60 is either a reversal or a promise from genesis. It's reversal of genesis chapter 11, the Tower of Babel. Now, if you go back to genesis 11, the tower babble. This is the story. Genesis 11 is about work. We often don't realize that. People came together to build this building to work really hard. To build this to build the highest tower, skyscraper as it were. And they came together to build it and to work, but why? Their motivation was, you can read it in genesis 11 verse four. To make a name for themselves. They said, let us make a name for ourselves. We're going to build the biggest building in the world. And we'll make a name for ourselves. Now, that's crucial. Because what they were doing was they were choosing a motivation for their work, a reason for their work. They were going to build the biggest building. It's like, we're going to do a killer app, or it's going to be the very, very best new software program. It's going to be the largest of this, the best of this. The greatest of this, we're going to change things everybody's going to realize nobody's done anything like this. And then I'll know I'm somebody. I have status or power I'll have identity, I'll be the best, and that's genesis 11. That's the tower babble. Human beings decided to work for themselves.

The game has called shomali feud it's like family feud but but to me this new like that game. We had a love this. I love this one all right. Here's basically how this is gonna work. I know it's not to families. It's three individuals competing. So we'll start with. Ben david i will ask. A family feud style question and i have told a hundred people and broken down the percentages of the people who responded to each of the answers that i will give you an advance and then first person on person picks from the remaining cetera. That's why i each hit to go first. It'll be three rounds and we'll do a tiebreaker. If we have to so fun. When this one i think we should go back and listen to the tape but i think that you said that a couple times when you have proceeded to win. Well you're very. You're very home as where your lowers the sticks for himself so he connects right. That's how you do it. You tell everybody. I'm gonna lose then when he's like well i didn't see coming. Yeah i pull coal number. Yeah who. I don't have a methodology behind us. God sounds like something hustler. Color money all over again but it's in the way they use it all right here. We i is bending. He gets to go first in question. I asked under people which star of three billboards outside ebbing missouri gets the most parking tickets in real life. Is it sam rockwell. Woody harrelson francis mcdormand or peter. Woody harrelson people answered this poll as if they have an opinion on this just wind question it. So i'm guessing the opinion of the people you polled just to clarify is just asked that question which possibly know the answer to and this is their By vote everybody had to pick one of those four and who got the biggest percentage. That's the most points you can get is. Okay thing that person. Woody harrelson You're gone woody harrelson okay. So that leaves. Frances mcdormand sam rockwell. Peter linkage would say you jona ray while i mean for instance mcdormand super down but she seems like she might be scatter-brained in that department Ads but at the same time if people voting they might go for peter in college. So i'm i'm gonna go with peter linkage because elson destroyed. People voted for him the most because he's like a donor. Okay that theory paget. Glad we dig lynch why because you think france is going to be a higher up. Well i think sam rockwell and peter Live in new york city and probably don't have cars and probably don't get tickets. And i think francis mcdormand just doesn't give a fuck. I think she does not value money. The way other people do. I think she cares about other people but i think she realizes parking tickets or a racket. I think she racks them up. Who would you rather here Which got the most. Or the least. I which direction should i go in at least okay all right. That's normally what i would do. I guess join eber is on the project joan good. I'm sorry jona peter. Dinka lynch got amir five percent of the vote and not a great starts to you. You've got five points you're on the board anyway. At least she didn't say a name that isn't going for that. I wrote down have been worse only way but in game shows people do if he will do crazy things coming in next with twenty one percent of the vote and twenty one points. Going to paget brewster it's francis mcdermott. I guess i. I don't think she's tops because i don't maybe people don't know maybe maybe they think 'cause also she plays a lot of characters who are extremely reasonable. 'cause she's a great actress so maybe maybe they think of like the character in fargo definitely wouldn't get parking tickets. He's a police officer march. Would never i get it. I get it. i think. There's another side to francis. That is the dig ledge riskier than a big so well so big she might be like Doesn't care about driving so she doesn't. She's worried about parking tickets. Kasese being driven around usually pry but who knows saudi will love the field. The road coming in the third spot. Twenty seven percent the chosen sam rockwell. What yeah. Wow i mean. He is a method actor so from project to project may be his characters would be that are worth paying tickets or over getting part putting money in the meter yes. He plays such a wide range of characters. But ben david you you nailed it with woody harrelson because he garnered forty seven percent of the vote really read for him and i think it's the weed thing i think they're making a joke that you would forget to pay. You know very punches car. You know that's what i think. People think it does like. Yeah the just a cliche. Yeah i saw. Spongebob moving college stoned. It's like ninety minutes to find my car after. So i feel like that's who i. That's why voted for him. I think i think woody harrelson has proven that if you smoke a lot of weed it really observer ability to where weeks that guy's got all sorts of kinds of hair all the time all right so ben. David is in the lead with forty seven points and paget's not right behind twenty one. This is Is already getting dire and joe race here. Everybody has their own. Tv shows us. Well yeah they gotta get to the robots i Let's see so that means that jona gets to go first in this round and then we go to paget then band david and this is a question joanna. Which of these is the dumbest. Clint eastwood movie is it. Every which way but loose any which way you can cadillac or unforgiven. Any which way you can. Because i have a feeling now loose though because is that's like the original. But the fact that he made a sequel to it makes me think that bats more ridiculous. So i'm gonna have to go with cam any which way you can was recorded. That's one data. Gordon was ruth. Gordon stiller was she involved ratio in the i. I've never seen either designed to be w severe drop off visits. It's funnier to see a an iranian tanks off an old lady ripping off Aranka changes flipping off too. Generic redneck keno. Good point okay. You're going any which way you can sequel to ever which way loose very popular. Clint eastwood movies. Were he co starred with clyde tang who was probably abuse. But that's neither here nor there paget. Yes the writing once. That was exactly my reasoning. Jonah and you beat me to it so i think you should be proud. I think i think you're gonna win it. I am going to have to go with pink. Cadillac okay. i was taking a drink when you said that you really. You're going with pink cadillac. I haven't i. Haven't i the only movie i've seen abuses unforgiven which is which is really the not a dumb move right so i gotta go with. What's the next dumbest title cadillac. All right ben. David have johnny which way but loose every which way but looks while this round. It's exciting no matter which end i start with Because they're really really shaking out interesting way Let's see what's the best way to put this earth jump around Make like how pain jump around.

A Hidden Side of Police Abuse
"In response to weeks of protests across the country, police departments are starting to change in New York. For example, disciplinary records for the NYPD are finally going to be made public and last week. New York City, police. Commissioner Dermott Shea made announcement about the NYPD'S ANTI-CRIME UNITS UNDERCOVER COPS who tend to be involved in police shootings. Effective immediately we will be transitioning those units roughly six hundred people citywide. Into a variety of assignments including detective bureau. neighborhood, policing and other assignments. When he made that announcement. said that it was part of an outdated model policing in that they generally are much more focused on intelligence. This is twenty first century policing. Intelligence. Data. Shot Spotter. Video Make no mistake. This is a seismic shift in the culture of how the NYPD polices disgraced, city. It it gives you a sense of. How a lot of the focus is on sort of individual officers on the street, but increasingly young PD's focus is on surveillance, and it has been for a long time. On Hell, story starts almost two decades ago the years just after the nine eleven attacks. Nine eleven, because it happened in New York has had a very long shadow and fundamentally changed. How many communities view the police department? Nine eleven not only to look to automate in. Sharing between different federal agencies, it also tried to turn local police departments into sort of the eyes and ears of intelligence on the ground in major cities, so it became a really important time for police permits to start to view themselves as counter. Terrorism agencies in that perspective is also true to this day. So unhealthy after nine eleven when this technology really expanded. was there a sense of? Push back. was there a sense that this was controversial that there were these growing NYPD dragnets of both Cameras and investigations and wiretaps that that seemed to be targeting regular New Yorkers who might not have been guilty of anything at all, so there's always been pushback from impacted communities and from civil liberties, advocates, but. It goes to show the effectiveness of the police department in the influence of the police department where a lot of the concerns were allayed by saying. This is going to empower us to catch terrorists in that terrorism label really. Calms a lot of fears for many because they thought well, these are tools that are only going to be used against the most dangerous people, but in reality was never limited to counter terrorism in the first place. It was just presented as a counter ripped terrorism tool. The most notorious example of NYPD surveillance was the illegal spying on Muslim New Yorkers after nine eleven. The NYPD sent informers to take photos inside mosques. They infiltrated Muslim student groups at local colleges. Undercover cops, twelve bookstores, restaurants and hookah bars. Even played cricket. The group was called the demographics unit. But until the Associated Press revealed its work. NYPD denied it existed. Now the demographics unit is gone, but the police departments post nine eleven surveillance infrastructure remains. Everything, the police know shoveled into a giant database called the domain awareness system. That includes audio from gunshot detectors, two billion photos of license plates, hundred million summonses, eleven, million arrests, two million warrants and thirty days of video from nine thousand cameras. How will that information gets crunched? We don't really know. And some of the things we do know suggest the NYPD could use more oversight. And, that's where the post doc comes in. To give you an example of the types of things that they've done. They use facial recognition systems to try to identify people that are suspected of crimes that were captured on. Let's say TV camera. So there is an example of someone who went into a CVs and stole a six pack of beer and the NYPD try to run a picture of that suspect through its facial recognition system. But it didn't return any results, so the NYPD thought well. You know that person looks a little bit like woody. Harrelson, so why don't we grab a photo of Woody Harrelson run that through the facial recognition system and see if we can find a match that Oh my God. How did this become public? The seems like something. The NYPD would never want to admit. So, one of the things that the post actors trying to do is to change the way that we ordinarily find out about surveillance abuses, which is costly public records, requests or through leaks to journalists in this case data that information came from an internal training guide that was obtained by Click Gharbia Georgetown that was turned over through a public records request. To what extent do we find out about these kind of technologies? When some kid ends up in court, and they say well, we know it was you because we have a witness identifying a dragon tattoo. We searched our database for a dragon tattoo and it turns out the. We knew you had one because you were stopped and frisked five years ago. Annie's Harlem. Only, it was that that linear. That would be great. Essentially does work that way most often. We don't get a sense of what tools are used at all. Sometimes the NYPD will enter into contracts with vendors that require them to be secretive, and they'll sign a nondisclosure agreement or a confidentiality clause that prevents them from disclosing the use of particular surveillance tools to the point where there are instances that police departments have dropped. Dropped charges against a particular person because they don't have to explain how they found them using the technology. That is still secret

"Support for this podcast and the following message come from Google from Connecticut to California from Mississippi to Minnesota. Millions of businesses are using Google tools to grow. Oh online learn how Google is supporting businesses in your state at Google dot com slash economic impact so in nineteen eighty-seven something convinced convinced many U.. S. cities to pick up recyclable items from residents homes Sarah Gonzales with our planet money podcast reports it started with a garbage barge and the mob mob yeah we kinda over cycling to the Mafia like the Gambino's John Guidi yeah that Mafia and and it starts with this guy in Mobile Alabama low Harrelson H. A. R. R. E. L. S. O. N.. Super Proud of his age eighty five live. Can you believe that still running onto cylinders not a mafia guy just a regular guy you call them farmer of you like this. I grew up. They were sharecroppers. I grew corn cotton potatoes. All kinds of vegetables typical of Alabama grew up in a home The days then in the nineteen eighties Harrelson learns this thing that he hates trash has a hidden use the methane garbage emits can be turned into electricity so Harrelson Allston decides he's going to collect a bunch of garbage in North Carolina and turn it into energy but he would need a lot of garbage and at the time if you were interested interested in garbage. New York was the place but it was controlled by the mob. Oh yes now. That's a story that will take a lot more time than we have today. Those cartel control the flow of garbage and has yet deal with specifically. You had to deal with a guy named <music> Salvatore Avellino Sal a Mambas with the Lucchese crime family who controlled garbage hauling on Long Island got ten years for conspiring inspiring in the murders of two garbage men and I found him. Hello Hi this Salvatori. Yes he's auditory. My Name is Sarah and I'm doing a story about the garbage barge. I know that it's kind of a complicated story but I want to see if you would chat with me about it <hes> well. I really rather not be honest which I want to be polite but good luck but I really don't WanNa talk about. It was the greatest idea hi dear what I was way ahead of my time and do you mind telling me why you don't WanNa talk about yes okay yes. He minds Salvatore Avellino guys picked. picked up garbage and Lowell Harrelson wanted to buy it. There was a ride in a stretch Cadillac Limos. That was a little scary but that was it. Harrelson was in business with the Mafia. He's a nice guy. I like how they rent. A barge called the Mo bro four thousand and he tugboat to tug the barge and on March twenty second nineteen eighty seven three thousand one hundred and eighty six tons of New York garbage set sail steered by Captain Duffy saint-pierre a few saint-pierre one of the best in business people start noticing the barge moving down the coast like what is that thing they think there must be some mobster toxic big waste hidden on the barge and a court order blocks it from unloading in North Carolina the get out and get away from this crowd the barges tied to a Cyprus tree the and the Mississippi River Waiting Mississippi didn't want it Florida Alabama Louisiana all say do not bring it here the barges on the nightly news like who will say no tomorrow the most watched load of garbage in the memory of man. It's become something of a national joke still loaded with tons of garbage still unwanted so the buyer just bobbing in the water two months four months baking in the sun poor captain. Duffy saint-pierre can't dock anywhere to take a shower even and there are all these stats coming out at the time that showed. Food town dumps were closing so people that they filled them all up. There was nowhere for this garbage to go. We've run out of places to throw away our throwaways always where we feel. We weren't full. This is Thomas Kinman in environmental economist at Bucknell University. He's as town dumps were closing but bigger. Regional landfills were taking their place but people didn't see that and so the recycling Arrow was born. That's why we recycled to this day. Who knows where we'd be without that barge? After five months a judge ordered Lowell Harrelson's garbage to go back to where it came from New York to be burned what a legacy <hes> forever will be known as that dummy who sailed the garbage barge. You are basically the reason why we recycle yeah. It has an impact on my tombstone. I would like them to say this. Oh boy did his damnedest okay and lead there so we recycle now in part because of a misconception that the U._S. was running out of landfill space. Sarah Gonzales N._p._R..

A Mob Boss, A Garbage Boat and Why We Recycle
"I started working on the story about recycling. I did not expect a lost ship and the mob well. I can tell you a story that is actually quite interesting about the origination of recycling. This is Thomas Kinman. He's a professor of Economics Hammocks at Bucknell University to be able to understand why Americans embrace recycling you have to understand the story of the garbage barge or the garbage ship called the Mogo the Mo Bro Yeah the Mogo M. O.. B. R. Owes how this story yeah. The problem is the problem is is this guy was allegedly part of the Mafia. So I'm getting mad at me still alive you can google it. He is still alive and yeah we kind of recycling to the mafia to the so called five families in New York who made up the Italian American mafia you know the Gambino's John Guidi that Mafia specifically we over cycling to a guy named Salvatore Avellino sal a chauffeur and Mabaso Baba's with the Lucchese crime family who controlled garbage hauling on Long Island got ten years for conspiring in the murders of two garbage men and I found sal okay name.

The 3:59
Backlash grows for police use of facial recognition (The 3:59, Ep. 562)
"The. Welcome to three fifty nine I'm Ben FOX Ruben, I'm as actually on Tuesday, San Francisco became the first city to ban. Police use of facial recognition tech proponents of the ban say the tech offers a slippery slope for Massar Valence while proponents facial recognition say that it's a useful policing tool. I as guess, do you expect more cities to follow suit with San Francisco? I think the outright ban is a little bit much. I don't think cities will do that right away. I did see somebody talk about a moratorium maybe they don't use it as, as, as primary method of dentist. Maybe it's the secondary. Or maybe it's used in a very light way. But the outright ban, I think, is a little bit much. There must be a different way to regulate something like this. Well, it's also interesting that this is obviously, not a federal ban. It's still being used in a variety of other places right? Yeah. So I was looking at an article about this, and this does apply to San Francisco police and agencies, but the San Francisco, please does not use this currently. So nothing's changed. There plus facial detect is available at airports, international airports and ports. But that's jurisdiction, which means this ban has no effect on those areas, which means that if I went to the airport, and San Francisco, San Francisco International airport, they could use facial recognition in theory. So it's not like the entire municipality everything in your, the federal you can't can use this. So some additional information about this. The Georgetown Law Center on privacy and technology, which has been looking into facial recognition technology for quite some time came out with a study today, this morning, saying police are using flawed data to run facial recognition searches those include using artist's sketches editing images to add is in lips and searching for look alike. So to me, this seems like if people are already a little shaky on the USA facial recognition tack, this is obviously another point to say, hey, maybe this isn't the best thing. I mean if you were. Night witness go. Hey, get a little, Ben FOX Ruben, this should be able to show a picture of Ben FOX and since he's so well known. Maybe of course, one of the cases actually was Harrelson, David Schwimmer look, lot of people like that. So the idea of saying, this person looks like another person would be usable in the police sense. The idea that computers doing it and potentially getting wrong. Again. It's that final step if, if for some reason, the police are deploying arresting drones. Yeah. I think there's a real problem there. But if there's a person Dan going, this is completely wrong, or this is completely right? At least it should be due process after that. Yeah. I think that, you know, the, the idea that this was proposed in the first place is facial, recognition tech is supposed to be more accurate or more credible than the human, I'd sometimes or it's able to pick certain things up, like, for instance, if you're wearing a different pair of glasses if you have longer hair, dyed, your hair. There are all sorts of different ways to maybe mess with the human eye, which facial, recognition tech is expected to be able to just kind of. Sift through unfortunately with this study seems that, you know, hey, maybe they're messing around with it a little too much. Next up one. Switch to a different subject. We are happy to report, the no Facebook, certainly not listening to your conversations. Not that important seen it actually tested out, this urban legend. I was forced to talk into my phone for about a week and a half trying to get advertisements about chainsaws. And no. I didn't get any advertisements about chainsaws new found no evidence that this is actually real love. The article about this, the point that this would be crazy illegal. Let's not forget that illegal, forget the idea that oh yeah. This would be creepy. It would cost Facebook trillions of dollars and ruining their model entirely that have been breaking the law, this Hauer amount of time that would be just amazingly bad for Facebook. When it comes to the press. So if they're crazy enough to do it, then, yeah, they should be. It's a good point that you mentioned that this would actually cost the company, a lot of money, and there would in fact, be some sort of footprint to show that Facebook is digesting that information that it's actually gobbling up audio recordings from two billion of its users you even several hundred million of those users, there would be some sort of data process that we, we would be able to notice, and unfortunately, security, researchers haven't found that if the accuracy aspect of these ads. I think that's what makes people scared, but it's links to your friends searches that you're, you're looking for, because your friends are looking for friends of friends that kind of weird amazing profile that can create all this data on top of that just reminds me I was going to buy car. All of a sudden it's thinking about buying a Honda Accord. They were everywhere, didn't mean that they weren't there all the time. I just didn't notice them as much right? Wonder if there's a psychological element of I was just talking about cookies and others ads for cookies. But you might not have noticed it before because you're talking about pizza. Yeah. And it's a good point. Alfred ING in his story talked about the. Fact that Facebook doesn't actually have to listen to you at already has a ton of data about you already. But anyway, if you want to read more about these stories, check them out on CNN Ben FOX river on that bridge. Carey. Oh, jeez. All right. You threw me off. Thanks for listening.

Talking Tech
What's on Netflix in March?
"Talking tech is brought to you in part by northwestern. University offered in partnership with north Western's Feinberg school of medicine. The program prepares students for emerging opportunities across the healthcare spectrum. Details are at SPS dot northwestern dot EDU slash informatics. Okay. So you're now spending two maybe three or four dollars more month on your Netflix subscription. And you're wondering what's coming up in March Harley and bomb those all she's the USA they reporter tracks. This for us every month and Carly L people some of the highlights from arch. Yes, says everyone knows net flicks releases its list of new titles a little bit ahead of the first of the month. So we have it. Now. You know, there's a lot. There's a lot coming a lot of original movies. A lot of original series. Give you some. Let's do a headline. Yeah. Okay. Well, if you're looking for something with big name talent, I can give you some. Movies that have some A-List stars? For example. There's this action film called triple frontier. Ben Affleck's in it. Oscar Isaac Senate, Charlie Hunnam Garrett. Hedlund Petra Pasco another movie with big names is the highway men. That's starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. Both of these movies are coming to Netflix in March and also getting theatrical releases kind of like they did with three weeks. I don't yet know the full theatrical these plans, right? So I don't know if they're going to do the same exact plan as Roma, but they are doing a theatrical release some other things we have coming up. Our new seasons of shows. You might remember. For example, queer eye is coming back for a third season. The show arrested development has more episodes coming. Something else that I'm interested in checking out are some comedy specials, including one from Amy Schumer. She has one called growing, which I think is a reference to her growing family and her growing belly she's pregnant she she got married. She's going to be talking about that. She had an athlete special a couple of years ago. That was a little controversial talked a lot about sex. But she's back with this new one. She has a billboard on Sunset Boulevard. To promote the special. So you already knew why news new she had to billboard. What's the last? Great thing you saw on that flex. I finally watched Roma. So I I saw it on the couch on the TV I know everyone here in L A. I don't know if he overheard this conversation dozens of time if you're gonna see Roma see it on a big screen. I get that. But it is ni-. It is nice to be able to choose and finding a big screen would be hard because it came and went pretty right? That's right. Right. So did you enjoy Rama? I did enjoy Roma. Would I say it's my favorite movie of the year? No, it was my favorite movie of the year. Did I watch it and truly appreciate? Director genius who pulled from his own childhood experience and produce something beautiful. Yes. Did I get a little sleepy? Sure. Okay. Well, this podcast episode is going to run the day after the Oscars. We're recording it before the Oscars, and since you mentioned your favorite movie there. I gotta ask what was it? I don't know if I have a favor of the the first one that comes to mind is a movie called free solo. This is a movie that's up for best documentary, photography, probably. And I think a few other awards. Is is the story of a climber. Alex hulled and his free solo. Meaning he climbed without ropes. Yeah. In Yosemite, and not only is it a compelling story. Just on paper about someone who just decides to have this outrageous dream and against all odds. Go for it, but visually it is unbelievable because they have shots, you know, above him below him. The the people who shot this are professional climbers work through some me. Well, I wouldn't say that he's climbing there climbing. Yeah. But they had separate tracks. And they were on Rove's, but they're carrying heavy equipment, and they have to climb. So it is beautiful. This is something. I would see an Athenian. Okay. My pick would be BG. Oh, yeah. Ginsburg was just incredible to watch that on a plane recently. Okay. I saw Peter. Can you believe it? I've believe it. Yeah. In port Townsend, Washington. So Carly Malibu from USA today. Thanks for telling us all about Netflix for March will look forward to checking in April. Bye bye. Hey, everybody. You've been listening to talking tech.
